COVER STORY STRENGTH IN NUMBERS LATINO STUDENT UNION HAD A STELLAR MONTH,..AGAIN This year marked the 25th anniversary of the Latino Student Union. The organization has gone from a social group with a few members in 1973, to a activist group with a dozen members in 1980 and blossomed into the eighty-member group that serves as one of today's leading campus programming bodies.
