THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

On May 27, 1971 a MexicanAmerican parent, Luis Lopez,
went to Roosevelt Junior High
School in Selma, California. He
was accompanied by his thirteen
year old daughter and a local
Methodist minister. His purpose
was to discuss school problems
his daughter had encountered in
one of her classes.
When he began an explanation
of the situation to principal Max
Cagle, he was called a liar, and
challenged to fight by the Selma
school administrator. Before he
could respond, Cagle struck Lopez in the eye with bis fist. This
attack took place in front of the
minister and Lopez 1 daughter who
became hysterical when she saw
her father· struck. There was
also school personnel who observed eagle's assault.
Lopen then left the school and
consulted a doctor where he was
treated and released. He had
photographs taken of the injury,
and filed a complaint against Selma principal Max Cagle.
The Selma Police Department
took the complaint and directed
Lopez to the District Attorney's
Office, where the warrant was
issued and depositions made by
Lopez and the clergyman con-
cerning the assault. The charge
was battery (PC 242) which can
briefly be described as •any willful and unlawful use of force or
violence upon the person of another."
Cagle was charged and entered
a plea of not guilty. He was released on his own recognizance.
His trial was set for August 17.
His attorney asked for and received a continuance until October.
After the initial filing of the
complaint by Lopez, no one contacted him concerning the prosecution of Cagle from the District
Attorney's Office. Several days
before the trial, he attempted to
contact Daly's office concerning
the assault. On October 19, the
Fresno Bee repor~d that Daly
had dismissed the charge of battery because. of "insufficient evidence to prosecute."
Luis Lopez is chairman of St.
Paul Methodist Church's education department, teaches Bible
classes on Sundays , and is currently chairman of Selma's elementary school Title I program,
a position he was elected to. His
principle witness to the assault is
a Methodist minister of Mexican
American descent. YET THE

Apparently, tl'e principal of a
school has the right to hit Mexican-American parents who stand
up for the rights of their children
-or do they? It is imperative
that the Selma Community recognize that public servants do not
have the right to batter anyone-not even Mexican-Americans.
Quite often shcool teachers
have indicated that MexicanAmerican parents do not get involved with the education of their
children-why should they if they
are going to get harrassed, intimidated and attacked by mad
men.

Definition of Chicano
Dear Eddie Flores of Coalinga:
You may be interested to know
that your recent definition of the
name Chicano is very nearly the
same rendition used by those who
would like to prevent the Mexican-American from realizing his
full rights as guaranteed by the
U.S. Constitution and the Treaty
of Guadelupe Hildalgo. That person would more than likely by
one that would stand to lose eco-

to gather additional evidence or
witnesses. It appears that the
term "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" doesn't apply to
Mexican-Americans.
Bas-ed on Daly's action to drop
the case, an act which he claims
•personal responsibility• for,
there is reason to believe that
Mexican-American parents can
be assaulted and their personal
rights infringed upon and they
cannot seek legal redress and/or
prosecution of their attackers. It
also appears that justice does not
exist for Mexican-Americans in
Fresno County and THAT FRESNO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILLIAM C. DALY,
DISPENSES ANGLO JUSTICE TO
CfilCANOS LOCALLY, LIKE IT
HAS BEEN DISPENSED TO
BLACKS IN BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI
FOR THE LAST FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS.
As the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights stated in their report
of March 1970, •we have found,
through extensive field investigations during 1967 and 1968,
three state advisory committee
meetings in 1968, and a commission hearing in 1968, all in
that section of the country (five
southwestern states), that there
is widespread evidence that equal
protection of the law in the administration of justice is being
withheld from Mexican-Americans."
WITH LIBERTY ANDJUSTICE
FOR ALL?
nomically and politically if those
rights were actually realized.
The name Chicano has a derogatory meaning to some of the
older generation of MexicanAmericans, but not to all of them.
The present use of the name
Chicano ts a means of differentiating between a MexicanAmerican with an awareness of
the problems of his Raza (his
people) along with a determination to correct those problems,
and a Mexican-American who is
deluding himself that there are
no problems.
There are many real obstacles,
both deliberate and unintentional,
from which the problems stem
that must be removed before the
Mexican-American and HispanoAmerican can have a realistic,
equal opportunity to succeed in
the basically Anglo-orientated
society-educational, economical
and political systems. These are
problems which cannot be solved
by La Raza simply "pulling itself
up by their bootstraps."
Note one of the many examples
with which we must contend: An
"All-American" farmer-schoolboard member of a small valley
community admitted that he
helped vote down a proposed Bilingual Education program for
Mexican-American students because they, the growers, depended on those "Mexican kids• to
drop out of school and eventually
provide them with a cheap source
of labor. I do not place the blame
on indi victuals like this entirely;
to a small degree we are also to
hlame. The Mexican-Americans
have as many faults as any other
ethnic group and minority, but no
more and no less. To assume
that the problem of the MexicanAmerican stems from him and
his culture would be a gross oversimplification based on ignorance
and / or bias.
Whatever your measure of success may he. Eddie. there are
many Mexican-Americans who
are achieving more than you ever
will and who are proud, not
ashamed, of their cultural heritage, and are not offended to be
called Chicano.
Nathan Hale once said, •Give
me liberty or give me death."
Now, Manual Laborer expresses
the same thought when he shouts,

·
She was esquipiando and cantando, and she had already walked
about dos millas when the lobo
appeared.
•where are you going, Capi?"
the lobo asked en un "high-pitched
voice." (This sinverguenza knew
who Capi was because he had seen
her dancing on the TV. Y tambien sabia that she was going to
visit her abuelita because he had
"tapped el telephone." Este guy
had a lot of "odesity• as the gringos say and also had a lot of "huevos" as the Mexicans say, but he
really didn't have any because he
was a maricon.)
La Capi, when she saw the lobo,
became very escamada, but she
quickly pulled herself together
and'said:
•I'm going to see my abuelita
because she is malita."
"Y what do you have in the
canastita?"
•1 have some tacos, enchingadas, chalupas y some records
de aquellas. Can you tell me
which road is the shortcut to the
south end of the forest?"
"Quieres for me to go with
you?"
•vete mucho al diablo, just tell
me which is the road."
"Well, it's this cortito one,"
and he pointed out the road. (But
as we all know this was not the
short road and it-would takeCapi
un chingo to reach her ahuelita's
house.
Capi left de volada because
she didn't want to be late. El lobo
took the orher road and started
to reirse.
From the distance a voice could
be heard singing a very happy
song that was just too much:
Once upon a time, there was a
muchachita named Capirocita
Roja. La Capt lived in the city
with her mama and had an abuellta who lived in the mero centro
of the forest about 11 miles from
the city.
One day la mama de Capt told
her she had to go on a mandado.
•capi, take this canasta to your
abuelita because she ls malita."
•what is in the canastita,
mami"
•wen, there is a dozen of
tacos, a half dozen of enchiladas,
otra half dozen of chalupas and
a jarro of frijoles. Take her
these [:iiscos, too: Jose Alfredo
Jimenez, Javier Solis, Cuco Sanchez, Miguel Aceves Mejia, y
Jose Filiciano."
•oh, how sharp! I know she'll
like Jose Feliciano."
«st, mija. Your poor abuelita
wants to see you. She said que
nos mando un «smoke signal"
about a week ago, pero with tanto
«air pollution" we didn't receive
the message."
"Ay, que lastima! These gabachos are going to kill us with
so much air pollution."
La mama de C apl fixed the
basket and ·gave it to Capi. Le
dijo to be very careful with the
ferocious lobo because he was a
sin-verguenza and muy fresh.
La Capi went to the corner and
tomo el bus. When she got on
she gave the driver a peseta and
sat down mero atras. When the
bus got to the edge of the forest,
Capi got off, for you see the bus
did not go through the forest because le tenia fuchi fuchi al lobo
and the other . beasts. La Capi
put a nickle in the meter y se
apio.
She was very content and began
to sing a cancion that went like
. this:
"Yo soy una muchacha igual

It was a vato with Kaki pants,
calcos tengerines, with his camisa unbuttoned and his cuello
alzado and of course sunglasses.
Se miraba bien cool el vato. When
he met up with the maricon he
told him:
"Queubole, ese vato. Where
are you going, ese?"
•Hola, chulo," said the maricon, "I'm going to see the abuelita de Capi. She's taking her a
canastita of frutas and some taquitos and I just love taquitos de
frijoles refritos."
•How many tacos does the
mamasota have," asked the Chuco.

"Say, man, where are you going?"

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Monday, November 22, 1971

On May 27, 1971 a MexicanAmerican parent, Luis Lopez,
went to Roosevelt Junior High
School in Selma, California. He
was accompanied by his thirteen
year old daughter and a local
Methodist minister. His purpose
was to discuss school problems
his daughter had encountered in
one of her classes.
When he began an explanation
of the situation to principal Max
Cagle, he was called a liar, and
challenged to fight by the Selma
school administrator. Before he
could respond, Cagle struck Lopez in the eye with bis fist. This
attack took place in front of the
minister and Lopez 1 daughter who
became hysterical when she saw
her father· struck. There was
also school personnel who observed eagle's assault.
Lopen then left the school and
consulted a doctor where he was
treated and released. He had
photographs taken of the injury,
and filed a complaint against Selma principal Max Cagle.
The Selma Police Department
took the complaint and directed
Lopez to the District Attorney's
Office, where the warrant was
issued and depositions made by
Lopez and the clergyman con-
cerning the assault. The charge
was battery (PC 242) which can
briefly be described as •any willful and unlawful use of force or
violence upon the person of another."
Cagle was charged and entered
a plea of not guilty. He was released on his own recognizance.
His trial was set for August 17.
His attorney asked for and received a continuance until October.
After the initial filing of the
complaint by Lopez, no one contacted him concerning the prosecution of Cagle from the District
Attorney's Office. Several days
before the trial, he attempted to
contact Daly's office concerning
the assault. On October 19, the
Fresno Bee repor~d that Daly
had dismissed the charge of battery because. of "insufficient evidence to prosecute."
Luis Lopez is chairman of St.
Paul Methodist Church's education department, teaches Bible
classes on Sundays , and is currently chairman of Selma's elementary school Title I program,
a position he was elected to. His
principle witness to the assault is
a Methodist minister of Mexican
American descent. YET THE

Apparently, tl'e principal of a

up for the rights of their children
-or do they? It is imperative
that the Selma Community recognize that public servants do not
have the right to batter anyone-not even Mexican-Americans.
Quite often shcool teachers
have indicated that MexicanAmerican parents do not get involved with the education of their
children-why should they if they
are going to get harrassed, intimidated and attacked by mad
men.

Dear Eddie Flores of Coalinga:
You may be interested to know
that your recent definition of the
name Chicano is very nearly the
same rendition used by those who
would like to prevent the Mexican-American from realizing his
full rights as guaranteed by the
U.S. Constitution and the Treaty
of Guadelupe Hildalgo. That person would more than likely by

to gather additional evidence or

term "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" doesn't apply to
Mexican-Americans.
Bas-ed on Daly's action to drop
the case, an act which he claims
•personal responsibility• for,
there is reason to believe that
Mexican-American parents can
be assaulted and their personal
rights infringed upon and they
cannot seek legal redress and/or

Fresno County and THAT FRESNO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILLIAM C. DALY,
DISPENSES ANGLO JUSTICE TO
CfilCANOS LOCALLY, LIKE IT
HAS BEEN DISPENSED TO
BLACKS IN BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI
FOR THE LAST FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS.
As the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights stated in their report
of March 1970, •we have found,
through extensive field investigations during 1967 and 1968,
three state advisory committee
meetings in 1968, and a commission hearing in 1968, all in
that section of the country (five
southwestern states), that there
is widespread evidence that equal
protection of the law in the administration of justice is being
withheld from Mexican-Americans."
WITH LIBERTY ANDJUSTICE
FOR ALL?
nomically and politically if those
rights were actually realized.
The name Chicano has a derogatory meaning to some of the
older generation of MexicanAmericans, but not to all of them.
The present use of the name
Chicano ts a means of differentiating between a MexicanAmerican with an awareness of
the problems of his Raza (his
people) along with a determination to correct those problems,
and a Mexican-American who is
deluding himself that there are
no problems.
There are many real obstacles,
both deliberate and unintentional,
from which the problems stem
that must be removed before the
Mexican-American and HispanoAmerican can have a realistic,
equal opportunity to succeed in
the basically Anglo-orientated
society-educational, economical
and political systems. These are
problems which cannot be solved
by La Raza simply "pulling itself
up by their bootstraps."
Note one of the many examples
with which we must contend: An
"All-American" farmer-schoolboard member of a small valley
community admitted that he
helped vote down a proposed Bilingual Education program for
Mexican-American students because they, the growers, depended on those "Mexican kids• to
drop out of school and eventually
provide them with a cheap source
of labor. I do not place the blame
on indi victuals like this entirely;
to a small degree we are also to
hlame. The Mexican-Americans
have as many faults as any other
ethnic group and minority, but no
more and no less. To assume
that the problem of the MexicanAmerican stems from him and
his culture would be a gross oversimplification based on ignorance
and / or bias.
Whatever your measure of success may he. Eddie. there are
many Mexican-Americans who
are achieving more than you ever
will and who are proud, not
ashamed, of their cultural heritage, and are not offended to be
called Chicano.
Nathan Hale once said, •Give
me liberty or give me death."

the same thought when he shouts,

'Capirocita Roja' a Chicano fairytale
triste el corazon
Me gusta que la gente tenga
felicidad
Y cuando tengo penas tembien
se llorar
Yo soy uan muchacha igual que
todas, igual que todas, igual
que todas, igual que todas
Yo soy una muchacha igual que
todas, igual que todas, igual
igual."
·
She was esquipiando and cantando, and she had already walked
about dos millas when the lobo
appeared.
•where are you going, Capi?"
the lobo asked en un "high-pitched
voice." (This sinverguenza knew
who Capi was because he had seen
her dancing on the TV. Y tambien sabia that she was going to
visit her abuelita because he had
"tapped el telephone." Este guy
had a lot of "odesity• as the gringos say and also had a lot of "huevos" as the Mexicans say, but he
really didn't have any because he
was a maricon.)
La Capi, when she saw the lobo,
became very escamada, but she
quickly pulled herself together
and'said:
•I'm going to see my abuelita
because she is malita."
"Y what do you have in the
canastita?"
•1 have some tacos, enchingadas, chalupas y some records
de aquellas. Can you tell me
which road is the shortcut to the
south end of the forest?"
"Quieres for me to go with
you?"
•vete mucho al diablo, just tell
me which is the road."
"Well, it's this cortito one,"
and he pointed out the road. (But
as we all know this was not the
short road and it-would takeCapi
un chingo to reach her ahuelita's
house.
Capi left de volada because
she didn't want to be late. El lobo
took the orher road and started
to reirse.
From the distance a voice could
be heard singing a very happy
song that was just too much:
Once upon a time, there was a
muchachita named Capirocita
Roja. La Capt lived in the city
with her mama and had an abuellta who lived in the mero centro
of the forest about 11 miles from
the city.
One day la mama de Capt told
her she had to go on a mandado.
•capi, take this canasta to your
abuelita because she ls malita."
•what is in the canastita,
mami"
•wen, there is a dozen of
tacos, a half dozen of enchiladas,
otra half dozen of chalupas and
a jarro of frijoles. Take her
these [:iiscos, too: Jose Alfredo
Jimenez, Javier Solis, Cuco Sanchez, Miguel Aceves Mejia, y
Jose Filiciano."
•oh, how sharp! I know she'll
like Jose Feliciano."
«st, mija. Your poor abuelita
wants to see you. She said que
nos mando un «smoke signal"
about a week ago, pero with tanto
«air pollution" we didn't receive
the message."
"Ay, que lastima! These gabachos are going to kill us with
so much air pollution."
La mama de C apl fixed the
basket and ·gave it to Capi. Le
dijo to be very careful with the
ferocious lobo because he was a
sin-verguenza and muy fresh.
La Capi went to the corner and
tomo el bus. When she got on
she gave the driver a peseta and
sat down mero atras. When the
bus got to the edge of the forest,
Capi got off, for you see the bus
did not go through the forest because le tenia fuchi fuchi al lobo
and the other . beasts. La Capi
put a nickle in the meter y se
apio.
She was very content and began
to sing a cancion that went like
. this:
"Yo soy una muchacha igual

It was a vato with Kaki pants,
calcos tengerines, with his camisa unbuttoned and his cuello
alzado and of course sunglasses.
Se miraba bien cool el vato. When
he met up with the maricon he
told him:
"Queubole, ese vato. Where
are you going, ese?"
•Hola, chulo," said the maricon, "I'm going to see the abuelita de Capi. She's taking her a
canastita of frutas and some taquitos and I just love taquitos de
frijoles refritos."
•How many tacos does the
mamasota have," asked the Chuco.
•I think she has three or four
dozen, just enough for me."
• Hey ese, I also love tacos de
frijoles, how about going mita
y mita?"
"What mita mita your nose! I
saw her first."
"Mira chulo I'm going to give
you one en toda la •.• "
The Chuco took out a filero
and told the maricon que se aventara. The maricon didn't know
what to do. He didn't have anything, just his purse. The Chuco
cut off his ear and then se armo
un lio tremendo. The two made
a polvadera de los diablos! You
couldn't tell who was who. Zapatas flew out here and t-shirts
flew out there and blood flew
everywhere.
Then one of the lobos got up,
se sacudio and went on down the
caminito. De pronto he met another lobo. He was grandote with
muscles everywhere, he looked
like Mister America. He had
some zapatos "Wing-tips", a corbata real wide and a flour white
face. The third lobo asked the
Chuco:
"Say, man, where are you going?"
"Que pasotes ," he answered.

The lobo began to eat the food.
Capi noticed that her abuelita's

On May 27, 1971 a MexicanAmerican parent, Luis Lopez,
went to Roosevelt Junior High
School in Selma, California. He
was accompanied by his thirteen
year old daughter and a local
Methodist minister. His purpose
was to discuss school problems
his daughter had encountered in
one of her classes.
When he began an explanation
of the situation to principal Max
Cagle, he was called a liar, and
challenged to fight by the Selma
school administrator. Before he
could respond, Cagle struck Lopez in the eye with bis fist. This
attack took place in front of the
minister and Lopez 1 daughter who
became hysterical when she saw
her father· struck. There was
also school personnel who observed eagle's assault.
Lopen then left the school and
consulted a doctor where he was
treated and released. He had
photographs taken of the injury,
and filed a complaint against Selma principal Max Cagle.
The Selma Police Department
took the complaint and directed
Lopez to the District Attorney's
Office, where the warrant was
issued and depositions made by
Lopez and the clergyman con-
cerning the assault. The charge
was battery (PC 242) which can
briefly be described as •any willful and unlawful use of force or
violence upon the person of another."
Cagle was charged and entered
a plea of not guilty. He was released on his own recognizance.
His trial was set for August 17.
His attorney asked for and received a continuance until October.
After the initial filing of the
complaint by Lopez, no one contacted him concerning the prosecution of Cagle from the District
Attorney's Office. Several days
before the trial, he attempted to
contact Daly's office concerning
the assault. On October 19, the
Fresno Bee repor~d that Daly
had dismissed the charge of battery because. of "insufficient evidence to prosecute."
Luis Lopez is chairman of St.
Paul Methodist Church's education department, teaches Bible
classes on Sundays , and is currently chairman of Selma's elementary school Title I program,
a position he was elected to. His
principle witness to the assault is
a Methodist minister of Mexican
American descent. YET THE

Apparently, tl'e principal of a

-or do they? It is imperative
that the Selma Community recognize that public servants do not

Quite often shcool teachers
have indicated that MexicanAmerican parents do not get involved with the education of their
children-why should they if they
are going to get harrassed, intimidated and attacked by mad

You may be interested to know
that your recent definition of the
name Chicano is very nearly the
same rendition used by those who
would like to prevent the Mexican-American from realizing his
full rights as guaranteed by the
U.S. Constitution and the Treaty
of Guadelupe Hildalgo. That person would more than likely by

term "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" doesn't apply to
Mexican-Americans.
Bas-ed on Daly's action to drop
the case, an act which he claims
•personal responsibility• for,

Mexican-American parents can

Fresno County and THAT FRESNO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILLIAM C. DALY,
DISPENSES ANGLO JUSTICE TO
CfilCANOS LOCALLY, LIKE IT
HAS BEEN DISPENSED TO
BLACKS IN BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI
FOR THE LAST FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS.
As the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights stated in their report
of March 1970, •we have found,
through extensive field investigations during 1967 and 1968,
three state advisory committee
meetings in 1968, and a commission hearing in 1968, all in
that section of the country (five
southwestern states), that there
is widespread evidence that equal
protection of the law in the administration of justice is being
withheld from Mexican-Americans."
WITH LIBERTY ANDJUSTICE
FOR ALL?
nomically and politically if those
rights were actually realized.
The name Chicano has a derogatory meaning to some of the
older generation of MexicanAmericans, but not to all of them.
The present use of the name
Chicano ts a means of differentiating between a MexicanAmerican with an awareness of
the problems of his Raza (his
people) along with a determination to correct those problems,
and a Mexican-American who is
deluding himself that there are
no problems.
There are many real obstacles,
both deliberate and unintentional,
from which the problems stem
that must be removed before the
Mexican-American and HispanoAmerican can have a realistic,
equal opportunity to succeed in
the basically Anglo-orientated
society-educational, economical
and political systems. These are
problems which cannot be solved
by La Raza simply "pulling itself
up by their bootstraps."
Note one of the many examples
with which we must contend: An
"All-American" farmer-schoolboard member of a small valley
community admitted that he
helped vote down a proposed Bilingual Education program for
Mexican-American students because they, the growers, depended on those "Mexican kids• to
drop out of school and eventually
provide them with a cheap source
of labor. I do not place the blame
on indi victuals like this entirely;
to a small degree we are also to
hlame. The Mexican-Americans
have as many faults as any other
ethnic group and minority, but no
more and no less. To assume
that the problem of the MexicanAmerican stems from him and
his culture would be a gross oversimplification based on ignorance
and / or bias.
Whatever your measure of success may he. Eddie. there are
many Mexican-Americans who
are achieving more than you ever
will and who are proud, not
ashamed, of their cultural heritage, and are not offended to be
called Chicano.

me liberty or give me death."

They are but a thirty minute
drive from Fresno StateCollege.
They may vary in appearance,
but generally they have certain
similarities. For example, an
average labor camp will have outside toilet and washing facilities;
units averaging 15x20 feet in size
will house a family of four or
five. Needless to say, privacy is
non-existent. The ethnic percentage of the occupants runs
90 per cent Chicano and 10 per
cent Anglo.
Frequently, stoves are used for
heating, a situation that is dangerous, because oxygen is burned
up, a condition which causes
death by asphyxiation. , This occurs every winter in the San Joaquin Valley.
Many camps have the additional
problem_ of insulation breaking
off the wiring or being eaten by
rodents which causes hazardous
fire conditions.

The E.O.P. student may fall
into one of two admission classifications - Special or Regular.
Each year a selected nu,mber
of students are admitted to the
state college Educational Opportunity Program. These students
bave shown through various predetermined evaluative criteria
that they possess the initiative
and potential required for success at a higher-level institution
of learning. They do not, however,
meet the standard academic requirements as set forth by the
state colleges.
The method used in admitting
these students is based on what

70 dnits or 300 people - have
since moved in with relatl ves or

It appears ironical that a million dollar farm corporation cannot build 70 units for their work- .-.ers. Especially when one consid-_·,·_.: : :

more and that they were not mlgrants or transients.
It appears to be a contradiction to accept the labor and productivity of farm workers for
minimum wages who toiled and
remained loyal to the farmer, and
to oust them on short notice when
it was discovered the Britton
farm corporation could be liable
if it did not provide safe, hygenic housing. It didn't appear
that the Britton Corporation had
any misgivings about accepting

'Capirocita Roja' a Chicano fairytale
triste el corazon
Me gusta que la gente tenga
felicidad
Y cuando tengo penas tembien
se llorar
Yo soy uan muchacha igual que
todas, igual que todas, igual
que todas, igual que todas
Yo soy una muchacha igual que
todas, igual que todas, igual
igual."
·
She was esquipiando and cantando, and she had already walked
about dos millas when the lobo
appeared.
•where are you going, Capi?"
the lobo asked en un "high-pitched
voice." (This sinverguenza knew
who Capi was because he had seen
her dancing on the TV. Y tambien sabia that she was going to
visit her abuelita because he had
"tapped el telephone." Este guy
had a lot of "odesity• as the gringos say and also had a lot of "huevos" as the Mexicans say, but he
really didn't have any because he
was a maricon.)
La Capi, when she saw the lobo,
became very escamada, but she
quickly pulled herself together
and'said:
•I'm going to see my abuelita
because she is malita."
"Y what do you have in the
canastita?"
•1 have some tacos, enchingadas, chalupas y some records
de aquellas. Can you tell me
which road is the shortcut to the
south end of the forest?"
"Quieres for me to go with
you?"
•vete mucho al diablo, just tell
me which is the road."
"Well, it's this cortito one,"
and he pointed out the road. (But
as we all know this was not the
short road and it-would takeCapi
un chingo to reach her ahuelita's
house.
Capi left de volada because
she didn't want to be late. El lobo
took the orher road and started
to reirse.
From the distance a voice could
be heard singing a very happy
song that was just too much:
Once upon a time, there was a
muchachita named Capirocita
Roja. La Capt lived in the city
with her mama and had an abuellta who lived in the mero centro
of the forest about 11 miles from
the city.
One day la mama de Capt told
her she had to go on a mandado.
•capi, take this canasta to your
abuelita because she ls malita."
•what is in the canastita,
mami"
•wen, there is a dozen of
tacos, a half dozen of enchiladas,
otra half dozen of chalupas and
a jarro of frijoles. Take her
these [:iiscos, too: Jose Alfredo
Jimenez, Javier Solis, Cuco Sanchez, Miguel Aceves Mejia, y
Jose Filiciano."
•oh, how sharp! I know she'll
like Jose Feliciano."
«st, mija. Your poor abuelita
wants to see you. She said que
nos mando un «smoke signal"
about a week ago, pero with tanto
«air pollution" we didn't receive
the message."
"Ay, que lastima! These gabachos are going to kill us with
so much air pollution."
La mama de C apl fixed the
basket and ·gave it to Capi. Le
dijo to be very careful with the
ferocious lobo because he was a
sin-verguenza and muy fresh.
La Capi went to the corner and
tomo el bus. When she got on
she gave the driver a peseta and
sat down mero atras. When the
bus got to the edge of the forest,
Capi got off, for you see the bus
did not go through the forest because le tenia fuchi fuchi al lobo
and the other . beasts. La Capi
put a nickle in the meter y se
apio.
She was very content and began
to sing a cancion that went like
. this:
"Yo soy una muchacha igual
que todas, igual que todas.
Yo soy una muchacha iqual

Me gustan los amigos para ir

It was a vato with Kaki pants,
calcos tengerines, with his camisa unbuttoned and his cuello
alzado and of course sunglasses.
Se miraba bien cool el vato. When
he met up with the maricon he
told him:
"Queubole, ese vato. Where
are you going, ese?"
•Hola, chulo," said the maricon, "I'm going to see the abuelita de Capi. She's taking her a
canastita of frutas and some taquitos and I just love taquitos de
frijoles refritos."
•How many tacos does the
mamasota have," asked the Chuco.
•I think she has three or four
dozen, just enough for me."
• Hey ese, I also love tacos de
frijoles, how about going mita
y mita?"
"What mita mita your nose! I
saw her first."
"Mira chulo I'm going to give
you one en toda la •.• "
The Chuco took out a filero
and told the maricon que se aventara. The maricon didn't know
what to do. He didn't have anything, just his purse. The Chuco
cut off his ear and then se armo
un lio tremendo. The two made
a polvadera de los diablos! You
couldn't tell who was who. Zapatas flew out here and t-shirts
flew out there and blood flew
everywhere.
Then one of the lobos got up,
se sacudio and went on down the
caminito. De pronto he met another lobo. He was grandote with
muscles everywhere, he looked
like Mister America. He had
some zapatos "Wing-tips", a corbata real wide and a flour white
face. The third lobo asked the
Chuco:
"Say, man, where are you going?"
"Que pasotes ," he answered.

The lobo began to eat the food.
Capi noticed that her abuelita's

The gringo thought he was a

garras out of him and then swept

The Chuco se sacudio again and
kept going down the road. He arrived de volada to the canton of

he knocked on the door.

"It's me, buelita," said the lobo

bring me the taquitos and the
discos?"
The lobo, as soon as he walked
in se le echo en cima a la abuelita and ate her in one bite. The
viejita was a little talluda, but
the lobo didn't care because he
had an hambre de la chingada.
He then went to the closet and
took one of her nightgowns out
and put it on. He also put on a
gorrita. He then got into bed and
pulled the cobijas up to his chin.
He was so flaco and largo that
his patas hung over the edge of
the cama.
Two hours later, Capi came to
the house. She was very tired
and her lengua was hanging out.
She knocked on the door • . •
The lobo's orejitas stood up
and said:
"Adela- -- , " am' he cleared his
voice, and said:" Adelante, is that
you , Capirocita?"
"Si. buelita," said Capi.
"Pasale, the door is open hijita."
La Capi walked in and closed

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Monday, November 22, 1971

On May 27, 1971 a MexicanAmerican parent, Luis Lopez,
went to Roosevelt Junior High
School in Selma, California. He
was accompanied by his thirteen
year old daughter and a local
Methodist minister. His purpose
was to discuss school problems
his daughter had encountered in
one of her classes.
When he began an explanation
of the situation to principal Max
Cagle, he was called a liar, and
challenged to fight by the Selma
school administrator. Before he
could respond, Cagle struck Lopez in the eye with bis fist. This
attack took place in front of the
minister and Lopez 1 daughter who
became hysterical when she saw
her father· struck. There was
also school personnel who observed eagle's assault.
Lopen then left the school and
consulted a doctor where he was
treated and released. He had
photographs taken of the injury,
and filed a complaint against Selma principal Max Cagle.
The Selma Police Department
took the complaint and directed
Lopez to the District Attorney's
Office, where the warrant was
issued and depositions made by
Lopez and the clergyman con-
cerning the assault. The charge
was battery (PC 242) which can
briefly be described as •any willful and unlawful use of force or
violence upon the person of another."
Cagle was charged and entered
a plea of not guilty. He was released on his own recognizance.
His trial was set for August 17.
His attorney asked for and received a continuance until October.
After the initial filing of the
complaint by Lopez, no one contacted him concerning the prosecution of Cagle from the District
Attorney's Office. Several days
before the trial, he attempted to
contact Daly's office concerning
the assault. On October 19, the
Fresno Bee repor~d that Daly
had dismissed the charge of battery because. of "insufficient evidence to prosecute."
Luis Lopez is chairman of St.
Paul Methodist Church's education department, teaches Bible
classes on Sundays , and is currently chairman of Selma's elementary school Title I program,
a position he was elected to. His
principle witness to the assault is
a Methodist minister of Mexican
American descent. YET THE
CHARGES WERE DROPPED

been denie~. What does the District Attorney need for evidenceanother dead body?
Apparently, tl'e principal of a
school has the right to hit Mexican-American parents who stand
up for the rights of their children
-or do they? It is imperative
that the Selma Community recognize that public servants do not
have the right to batter anyone-not even Mexican-Americans.
Quite often shcool teachers
have indicated that MexicanAmerican parents do not get involved with the education of their
children-why should they if they
are going to get harrassed, intimidated and attacked by mad
men.

Dear Eddie Flores of Coalinga:
You may be interested to know
that your recent definition of the
name Chicano is very nearly the
same rendition used by those who
would like to prevent the Mexican-American from realizing his
full rights as guaranteed by the
U.S. Constitution and the Treaty
of Guadelupe Hildalgo. That person would more than likely by

to gather additional evidence or
witnesses. It appears that the
term "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" doesn't apply to
Mexican-Americans.
Bas-ed on Daly's action to drop
the case, an act which he claims
•personal responsibility• for,
there is reason to believe that
Mexican-American parents can
be assaulted and their personal
rights infringed upon and they
cannot seek legal redress and/or
prosecution of their attackers. It
also appears that justice does not
exist for Mexican-Americans in
Fresno County and THAT FRESNO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILLIAM C. DALY,
DISPENSES ANGLO JUSTICE TO
CfilCANOS LOCALLY, LIKE IT
HAS BEEN DISPENSED TO
BLACKS IN BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI
FOR THE LAST FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS.
As the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights stated in their report
of March 1970, •we have found,
through extensive field investigations during 1967 and 1968,
three state advisory committee
meetings in 1968, and a commission hearing in 1968, all in
that section of the country (five
southwestern states), that there
is widespread evidence that equal
protection of the law in the administration of justice is being
withheld from Mexican-Americans."
WITH LIBERTY ANDJUSTICE
FOR ALL?
nomically and politically if those
rights were actually realized.
The name Chicano has a derogatory meaning to some of the
older generation of MexicanAmericans, but not to all of them.
The present use of the name
Chicano ts a means of differentiating between a MexicanAmerican with an awareness of
the problems of his Raza (his
people) along with a determination to correct those problems,
and a Mexican-American who is
deluding himself that there are
no problems.
There are many real obstacles,
both deliberate and unintentional,
from which the problems stem
that must be removed before the
Mexican-American and HispanoAmerican can have a realistic,
equal opportunity to succeed in
the basically Anglo-orientated
society-educational, economical
and political systems. These are
problems which cannot be solved
by La Raza simply "pulling itself
up by their bootstraps."
Note one of the many examples
with which we must contend: An
"All-American" farmer-schoolboard member of a small valley
community admitted that he
helped vote down a proposed Bilingual Education program for
Mexican-American students because they, the growers, depended on those "Mexican kids• to
drop out of school and eventually
provide them with a cheap source

'Capirocita Roja' a Chicano fairytale
triste el corazon
Me gusta que la gente tenga

Y cuando tengo penas tembien

Yo soy uan muchacha igual que
todas, igual que todas, igual
que todas, igual que todas
Yo soy una muchacha igual que
todas, igual que todas, igual
igual."
·
She was esquipiando and cantando, and she had already walked
about dos millas when the lobo
appeared.
•where are you going, Capi?"
the lobo asked en un "high-pitched
voice." (This sinverguenza knew
who Capi was because he had seen
her dancing on the TV. Y tambien sabia that she was going to
visit her abuelita because he had
"tapped el telephone." Este guy
had a lot of "odesity• as the gringos say and also had a lot of "huevos" as the Mexicans say, but he
really didn't have any because he
was a maricon.)
La Capi, when she saw the lobo,
became very escamada, but she
quickly pulled herself together
and'said:
•I'm going to see my abuelita
because she is malita."
"Y what do you have in the
canastita?"
•1 have some tacos, enchingadas, chalupas y some records
de aquellas. Can you tell me
which road is the shortcut to the
south end of the forest?"
"Quieres for me to go with
you?"
•vete mucho al diablo, just tell
me which is the road."
"Well, it's this cortito one,"
and he pointed out the road. (But
as we all know this was not the
short road and it-would takeCapi
un chingo to reach her ahuelita's
house.
Capi left de volada because
she didn't want to be late. El lobo
took the orher road and started
to reirse.
From the distance a voice could
be heard singing a very happy
song that was just too much:
Once upon a time, there was a
muchachita named Capirocita
Roja. La Capt lived in the city
with her mama and had an abuellta who lived in the mero centro
of the forest about 11 miles from
the city.
One day la mama de Capt told
her she had to go on a mandado.
•capi, take this canasta to your
abuelita because she ls malita."
•what is in the canastita,
mami"
•wen, there is a dozen of
tacos, a half dozen of enchiladas,
otra half dozen of chalupas and
a jarro of frijoles. Take her
these [:iiscos, too: Jose Alfredo
Jimenez, Javier Solis, Cuco Sanchez, Miguel Aceves Mejia, y
Jose Filiciano."
•oh, how sharp! I know she'll
like Jose Feliciano."
«st, mija. Your poor abuelita
wants to see you. She said que
nos mando un «smoke signal"
about a week ago, pero with tanto
«air pollution" we didn't receive
the message."
"Ay, que lastima! These gabachos are going to kill us with
so much air pollution."
La mama de C apl fixed the
basket and ·gave it to Capi. Le
dijo to be very careful with the
ferocious lobo because he was a
sin-verguenza and muy fresh.
La Capi went to the corner and
tomo el bus. When she got on
she gave the driver a peseta and
sat down mero atras. When the
bus got to the edge of the forest,
Capi got off, for you see the bus
did not go through the forest because le tenia fuchi fuchi al lobo
and the other . beasts. La Capi
put a nickle in the meter y se
apio.
She was very content and began
to sing a cancion that went like
. this:
"Yo soy una muchacha igual
que todas, igual que todas.
Yo soy una muchacha iqual
que todas, igual que todas,
igual igual
Me gustan los amigos para ir

It was a vato with Kaki pants,
calcos tengerines, with his camisa unbuttoned and his cuello
alzado and of course sunglasses.
Se miraba bien cool el vato. When
he met up with the maricon he
told him:
"Queubole, ese vato. Where
are you going, ese?"
•Hola, chulo," said the maricon, "I'm going to see the abuelita de Capi. She's taking her a
canastita of frutas and some taquitos and I just love taquitos de
frijoles refritos."
•How many tacos does the
mamasota have," asked the Chuco.
•I think she has three or four
dozen, just enough for me."
• Hey ese, I also love tacos de
frijoles, how about going mita
y mita?"
"What mita mita your nose! I
saw her first."
"Mira chulo I'm going to give
you one en toda la •.• "
The Chuco took out a filero
and told the maricon que se aventara. The maricon didn't know
what to do. He didn't have anything, just his purse. The Chuco
cut off his ear and then se armo
un lio tremendo. The two made
a polvadera de los diablos! You
couldn't tell who was who. Zapatas flew out here and t-shirts
flew out there and blood flew
everywhere.
Then one of the lobos got up,
se sacudio and went on down the
caminito. De pronto he met another lobo. He was grandote with
muscles everywhere, he looked
like Mister America. He had
some zapatos "Wing-tips", a corbata real wide and a flour white
face. The third lobo asked the
Chuco:
"Say, man, where are you going?"
"Que pasotes ," he answered.

"Hay que bueno hijita, give me
the canastita, I am very hungry."
The lobo began to eat the food.
Capi noticed that her abuelita's
eyes were red, and asked.
• Abuelita, why are your ojos
so red?"
"Hay mija, es que I had too
much mota last night."
"Abuelita, hay your patas are

"Oh, you mean a donde me la

"That sounds good, man. I sure

"Well, I don't know."

"Ay, ay y tu que. te crees,
Tarzan's mother or what?"
"Them 's fighting words."
The gringo thought he was a
real good fighter and tried to attack the Chuco. The Chuco made
garras out of him and then swept
the caminito with him.
The Chuco se sacudio again and
kept going down the road. He arrived de volada to the canton of
Capi's abuelita. When he got there
he knocked on the door.
"Tap, tap, tap.•
•Who is it," asked the abuelita.
"It's me, buelita," said the lobo
imitating la voz de Capi.
"Pasale, hijita, pasale. Did you
bring me the taquitos and the
discos?"
The lobo, as soon as he walked
in se le echo en cima a la abuelita and ate her in one bite. The
viejita was a little talluda, but
the lobo didn't care because he
had an hambre de la chingada.
He then went to the closet and
took one of her nightgowns out
and put it on. He also put on a
gorrita. He then got into bed and
pulled the cobijas up to his chin.
He was so flaco and largo that
his patas hung over the edge of
the cama.
Two hours later, Capi came to
the house. She was very tired
and her lengua was hanging out.
She knocked on the door • . •
The lobo's orejitas stood up
and said:

voice, and said:" Adelante, is that

"Pasale, the door is open hijita."
