UMAS, Young clarify

report of Chicano goals

(Editor's note: The following statement was issued yesterday by Chancellor Charles E. Young and the United Mexican-American Students (UMAS) in response to news stories published yesterday regarding Young's response to seven UMAS proposals.)

"The various news reports of our meeting yesterday gave the impression that it consisted of 'demands' and a response to them either direct or implied. This was not the case" (the DB referred to UMAS statements only as "proposals.").

'UMAS presented a 'primary goal of achievement of a greatly enlarge Chicano student body at UCLA' and proposals to reach that goal. This primary goal and a reworded version of the proposals were, as was indicated yesterday, accpted with 'enthusiasm and without reservation.'

"It was agreed that the achievement of this goal would require change in the organizational structure of our on-going programs and that UCLA administrators and representatives of UMAS would meet to bring about those changes required to make this goal a reality."
