Kapatiran Kapatiran, the Filipino-American Brotherhood of Seattle University, began the year in a display of solidarity with other third-world organizations at the Minority Affairs Third-World Colorbration Night, November 18. The group sponsored a political symposium, February 22, on Martial Law in the Philippines featuring Dr. Roy L. Prosterman and Fr. Bruno Hicks, OFM. Dr. Prosterman is a University of Washington law professor and leading American authority on landreform. Fr. Hicks is a Franciscan priest deported from the Philippines after having worked with the tenant farmers' movement. Kapatiran's community work included a recruitment drive of local area Filipino high school seniors and participation in the Filipino community's blood drive. Later in May the organization joined with the University of Washington Filipino Student Union and local area high school Asian coalitions under the auspices of the Asian Multi-Media Center in the production of a Filipino folk play. 24 Aegis '73
