was concerned with social events. LULAC focused on political life and educational awareness while NHI worked to raise cultural awareness. · When the three groups dis­ cussed forming one club they were initially concerned with losing funding. La Alianza has been able to retain the funding that the three organizations had received as individuals. "We'll still put on the events that we did as individual clubs such as Latin Expressions and Hispanic Heritage Month," continued Limon. "But we're also expanding." Already La.Alianza has spon­ sored a Freshmen Social geared toward increasing awareness and involvement on campus. La Alianza expects to grow stronger because the Class of 2000 is the largest Hispanic class ever at Notre Dame. "The theme for the year is 'La alianza para m.a nueva frontera' which means 'the alliance for a new frontier' ... We expect to be a bigger, stronger voice on campus," Limon explained. There had already been a push for more Latin American Studies classes and more involvement by the Hispanic Alumni of Notre Dame. "Things have started moving along. We're heading in the right direction," said Limon.
