North America Region It is with great pride and pleasure that I report to you on the activities of the bonsai organizations affiliated to FELAB, the Latin American Bonsai Federation. Although we are the youngest region belonging to the WBFF, you will see as you read this report that the enthusiasm, desire to learn, sharing and advancement in the art of bonsai is the greatest objective of all our countries. When FELAB was founded in February 1992, in Cali, Colombia, in the presence of Mr. John Yoshio Naka, vice chairman of the WBFF, membership consisted of Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Our main obiective, which is to promote knowledge of the art of bonsai, is being achieved by our groups with proper guidance. Our desire to grow and advance through educational means and through multinational friendship has been rewarded as FELAB now boasts 14 member countries. We have added Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, Guatemala, Mexico, St. Lucia, Martinique, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil to our ranks. Every two years, we hold a Latin American Bonsai Encounter, where besides having bonsai masters as guest speakers, we have the opportunity to admire bonsai works and talents of representatives of the different countries in our hemisphere. In April 1994, the First Encounter took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The main speakers were Chase Rosade from the United States and Pius Notter from Switzerland. In March 1997, the Second Encounter was held in Cali, Colombia, with two distinguished guests: Hatsuji Kato as the head speaker and Mr. Kazuya Morita, both from Japan. The Third Encounter was held in St. Lucia, West Indies, in 1999.

The Franco regime certainly feared that the success of established publishing houses in Mexico and Argentina (and the newly created [end page 22] In order to enact such initiatives, some immediate changes were needed in the approval process for the printing and distribution of books.

    http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/soe/cihe/newsletter/News08/text5.html
    
    Extractions: Unlike what might have happened several decades ago, the rectors responded with enthusiasm to the challenge and, as an example, advanced an ongoing AUSJAL project on the nature of poverty, its causes, and proposals for solution. Each university will encourage its scholars to tackle the problem in different ways and then pool their results for continent-wide solutions. It was clear to the delegates that an unbridled market without ethical norms would lead to further gaps between the tiny rich minority and the vast poor majority, and the measurement of economic growth on the basis of financial speculation instead of increased production and employment. Several rectors mentioned that this integration of efforts by the universities and the social apostolate is a sign of the maturing of the Jesuit Order itselfan indication of the ability of its institutions to see their purpose as lying outside themselves and in the community beyond its walls. Preparation of personally successful professionals will not guarantee that the universities will have achieved their mission; success will be measured by the impact these professionals have on "shipwrecked societies." E-mail will guarantee that the dialogue on common projects will increase over the next few yearsespecially the faith/justice/culture challenge, a greater role for lay women and men, and programs in Ignatian spirituality. It will be important to study the development of these significant trends over the next few years to see what happens on the ground. Will lofty ideals be confined to mission statements or will they lead to the transformation of universities which will truly transform societies?

71. LATIN AMERICAN DICTATORS: Perez Jimenez, Simon Bolivar, Romulto Betancourt
    Forgotten by the world, general Marcos Perez Jimenez died, aged 87. Bolivar House became a haven for exiled latin American intellectuals.  
    http://wais.stanford.edu/LatinAmerica/latinamer_jimenezbolivarbetancourt10701.ht
    
    Extractions: Back to Index Forgotten by the world, General Marcos Perez Jimenez died, aged 87. Born in Tachira like other Venezuelan dictators, he was president of Venezuela from 1952 to 1958. It was a period when dictators were becoming common in Latin America: Argentina (Peron), Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay and Chile. In general, US business was pleased with them, since it was simple to deal with them. The US government in general approved of them. President Eisenhower gave Perez Jimenez the Legion of Merit. Not so pleased were the liberal politicians and intellectuals who were forced into exile. Adriana de Pena's family was one of those which emigrated to the US. She writes "I was born in Argentina. I grew up under Peron, a man whom I view now with much more indulgence than I once did. I came to the USA in 1968, with my family". This is singificant. Is it a straw in the wind? Economically democracy seems to have failed, and many Latin American countries are rent by the turmoil the dictators suppressed. Are Latin Americans longing for the good old times?

    Extractions: "All for One - One for All" History of LULAC In its history of over 75 years, LULAC has worked to bring about many of the positive social and economic changes that Hispanic Americans have seen. In 1945, a California LULAC Council successfully sued to integrate the Orange County School System, which had been segregated on the grounds that Mexican children were "more poorly clothed and mentally inferior to white children." Additionally, in 1954, LULAC brought another landmark case, Hernandez vs. the State of Texas, to protest the fact that not a single Mexican American in Texas had ever been called to jury duty. The Supreme Court ruled this exclusion unconstitutional. Since that time, LULAC has fought for voting rights and full access to the political process, and equal educational opportunity for Hispanic children. It has been a long and often difficult struggle, but LULAC's record of activism continues to this day, as LULAC councils across the nation hold voter registration drives and citizenship awareness sessions, sponsor health fairs and tutorial programs, and raise scholarship money for the LULAC National Scholarship Fund. This fund, in conjunction with the LNESC (LULAC National Educational Service Centers), has assisted almost 10 percent of the 1.1 million students who have gone to college.
