pleasant time at the Games..

IV.  New Business
Filipino WWII Veterans-A motion was made by CSUN's Moonie Lantion for
SCPASA to support non-profit community organizations to support the
Filipino
WWII Veterans. CSUF seconded the motion. After a brief discussion of the
issue, a vote of 10-0-2 were in favor of supporting the Filipino WWII
Veterans..
Suggestions of petitioning, writing a letter, and making phone calls were
made
as a show of support. The Filipino veterans, our "lolos", are the only
ethnic
group currently receiving no U.S. benefits for their role in WWII. Every
club
and organization are urged to contact their House of Representative
congressman to vote YES on the H.R. Bill titled, "Filipino Equity Village
Bill"
in order for our "lolos" to receive the benefits they are definitely
entitled to for
fighting under the U.S. flag during WWII.
