Letter
Chicano funding cut
This letter is in response to the article
on the Committee for Fees Allocation rein
stating University Program Council funds
(Daily Nebraskan, Feb. 25, 1982). We, as
Chicano students, would like to know why
our program "Chicano Special Events" was
singled out and cut in funding, but none of
the other programs from the Culture
Center were cut?
Because these funds have been cut, our
impression is that a small minority on this
campus is penalized. When the budget for
UPC-City was being planned for the up
coming academic year, no representative
was sent to our organization. Our only
notification of these cutbacks was the
article in the Daily Nebraskan. Our
organization poses this question, "Why was
our funding cut?"
Chicano Special Events is an important
program used by Chicano organizations
especially during the spring semester in the
planing of Chicano Awareness Days.

Continued from Page 4
They are, instead, manifestations of a
need to believe something, a need to
account for what turned out to be such an
unpleasant national experience. Someone
has characterized this as the 19th hole
history of Vietnam. Call it what you will, it
is widespread and deeply emotional and
could in time become a real national
myth - like the old one about how happy
the slaves were on the plantation.
The trouble is that curled up in the
Vietnam myth lurks the hint of a next time
- a chance to do the thing all over again,
but to do it right. Reagan, in fact, recited
his history of Vietnam in response to a
question about whether El Salvador could
be Vietnam all over again. History will be
the final judge of that. But for the moment
his answer leaves open one possibility: Not
unless he wants it to be.
(c) 1982, The Washington Post Company
Because of these cuts in our funding, we
feel that all future Chicano programming
will be hurt. By not having these programs,
we feel that it will widen the gap between
Chicano and non-Chicano students.

UNIVERSITY PROGRAM COUNCIL
UPC is a student organiza
tion dedicated to bringing
a wide variety of programs
to the University campus
and community. UPC was
organized to provide a
well-rounded program of
social, educational, cultural
and recreational activities
for students. With this ob
jective in mind, three sub
councils were formed:
UPC-City. UPC-Culture
Center, UPC-East.
The three sub-councils are
composed entirely of stud
ents, advised by a profes
sional staff, and financed
through student fees and
income from events.
Each sub-council consists
of several committees with
a chairperson responsible
for the committee and the
programs produced.
Council exectutives coor
dinate the overall pro
graming activities for the
20 different committees.
