La Von Bundy decided that teen-age girls needed more than the summer activities and should have a year-round center. Fun and games are good social outlets, she said, but they don't make women of girls or provide the motivation necessary to make it in this world. Mrs. Bundy outlined three initial aims of the center: To furnish a place where birth control information can be gathered and exchanged; to provide a referral service to direct the girls to authorized public agencies in the city or bring professionals into the center; and to teach such things as sewing and home economics. The group now faces the problem of where to get the $38,000 needed to run the center for a year.

The American Indian Movement (AIM) is seeking funds to establish a Washington Office which will serve as a communications and education center for AIM's activities and for coordination with other Indian organizations. The American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. AIM's three primary targets for change are education, churches, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). AIM has expanded to 20 local chapters across the country. Progress on the target areas includes: - AIM fought for and got an Indian Advisory Board to the Minneapolis Public School System. With the Indian drop-out rate approaching 90%, AIM announced its intent to seek federal funding for an all Indian school in the City of Minneapolis. - Because of the churches' history of missionary activity among Indian people, AIM feels that major changes rest within the responsibilities of the churches. AIM's basic concerns were presented to the Lutheran Council U.S.A. at a joint conference of Lutheran Churches and Indian people (LUCHIP). Out of this conference was born the National Indian Lutheran Board. - Long a whipping post for Indians and non-Indians alike,"]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0000-LaDonna%20Harris,%20Clippings,%20July,%201967-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0028_thumbnail.jpg "The Oklahoma Ballerina Festival")
