Campus clubs unite
By HanH Moored
Staff Writer
A group designed to unite clubs and
organizations which has an. international
emphasis was formed March 20, said
Jimmy Chen, president of » the
International Joint Council.
According tb Chen, "thf International
Joint Council would "create a forum for
clubs and organizations with international
character where culture would be
exchanged, cultural activities would be
coordinated and interrelations among these
clubs and organizations would be
improved."
The reason Chen wanted to create the
UC was to bring more communication
between international students. "Except for
the international club, all clubs are
independent and don't communicate with
other groups. We want clubs to exchange
ideas and tell one another what is
happening in their clubs. And as a result
we can attend their meetings also."
The idea behind forming UC according
to Chen, is mat "We may have new
international student orientation which is
now being done by the international
student services program. We will join in
the celebration of international night or
week if we can expand it We will hold
functions      and     have      a      graduation
Until   now,   only   seven   organizations
have joined the UC Chen said.
"We are sending letters to clubs, which
I think have international emphasis,"
Chen said. He said the letters were sent to
encourage other clubs and organizations to
join the DC. "I sent Getters) to the
Armenian Student Association and Chicano-
Latino Student Association, but they didn't
respond to our letters nor did they return
our calls."
The idea of forming UC was Chen's
idea, which he thought of three years ago.
"I tried to organize everybody together,
but at that time all the clubs Nvere small
and too new. At that time, they didn't have
the same goals as I had, and there weren't
many clubs," he said.
Last year, Chen tried to form UC by
calling all different clubs with
international aspects, but nothing worked
because nobody agreed on funding
procedures. "Everybody said didn't want to
fight for funds from different
organizations." he said.
The clubs did not just want to join,
Chen said. "Our first meeting was held
February 27 and seven clubs showed up
altogether."
Chen said one issue debated was whether
to emphasize international students or not
It was decided that every club with an
international aspect could join the DC;
meaning, a linguistic club which teaches
French can also join.
"We will try to get. funding from
Associated Students because we are a very
strong group. We have very strong groups
as members, creating a membership of
over 100 to 150." >

"But someone who is paid in cash, whose
home is supplied by their employer, would
be very hard-pressed to meet this
provision."
Dong questioned how marry Mexicans
will come forward and risk deportation if
their documentation is not considered
legal.
The second provision prohibits
employers from knowingly offering
employment to those ineligible to work in
the United States. Dong believes this may
give employers second thoughts about
hiring people who look foreign, h*ve a
foreign name, or speak with a foreign
accent
Perez Canchola said conditions in
Mexico are very bad, so people come to
America for more opportunity. 'There are
not enough jobs for the people in Mexico
now," he said. "Imagine what would
happen if the American government
deported one or two million young
Mexicans.
The minimum wage in southern Mexico
is less than two dollars a day in U.S.
assembly plants," said Perez Canchola.
"Families are forced to send their 10-to- 17-
year-old children to the United States to
seek opportunity." He said America
benefits from the inexpensive labor in
Mexico, so should be more sensitive to
Mexico's problems in return
Perez Canchola believes the problems
in Mexico could be solved if they stopped
paying interest on their debts to the
United States.
"We are paying more than $13 billion
in interest alone each year," he said. He
doesn't think Mexico's delaying of interest
payments will have an affect on die
American economy. "More than half of the
debt has been paid in interest alone
already," he said. He acknowledged that
the United States may use Mexico^as an
example, fearing that other troubled Latin
American nations with outstanding» debts
will default as well.
"What those countries need to the south
of the border is to be treated to diplomatic
and humanitarian solutions, not something
that   will   compound   our   problems/ even
