Three campus symposiums costing an estimated total of $10,000 were approved by Student Legislative Council (SLC) last night. Program plans were approved for a Urban Tensions week costing an estimated $4000 and a Conference on Birth Control and Abortion costing another $2500.

Council approved the Symposium on the Mexican American in the Southwest last week and approved the program's $2700 budget last night.

In other business SLC tabled the proposed constitution revision for another week. Administrative Vice President Richard Gross who chaired the Constitution Revision Committee announced that open meetings would, be held next Monday and Tuesday from 3-6 p.m. in Kerckhoff Hall 304.

Council approved five Black Student Union (BSU) goals as submitted by General Representative Eddie Anderson.

The symposium on the Mexican-American in the Southwest scheduled for Feb. 22 will feature Cesar Chavez, leader of the Delano grape workers strike, who is organizing farm labor in the Central Valley, and Reies Tijerina, leader of the land grant movement in Northwest New Mexico. Other members of the panel include Ralph Guzman, - Bert Corona and moderator Eliezer Risco.

The Constitution proposal was tabled for one week. Gross urged that members attend the open meetings next week so objections to the proposal and questions could be dealt with before the next meeting.

Following the meeting Gross charged that the move to table the budget was a stall tactic on the part of those who didn't like the proposal but didn't. want to openly oppose it.

The list of BSU goals approved by council included establishment of a Black Cultural Center on campus, academic innovations and increased participation by black people at the decision making level.

"This proposal is important not for the effect it has on blacks but for the effect it will have on the white students, faculty and administration when they am SLC, a predominately white group, supporting these goals," Anderson said.
