Chicano students have low profile, complex problems at CSUF
By Juanita saragoza
There are approximately 1200
Chicano students on campus, and
yet. if one attends MECHA meetings , or goes to Adelita gatherings, or discovers the enrollment
of La Raza Studies , you would
not believe the number is th_a t
high. Many r easons are given-for
the low profile of the Chicano
student on campus and his participation in Chicano student activities; thus, some saythatmost
Chicano student's are working and
attending school which makes it
difficult for them to take part in
MECHA, Adelitas, National Chicano HealthOrganization (NCHO),
etc. Others advance the idea that
there is a lack of communication
between indi victual Chicano students and the Chicano student
groups, Moreover, many students
feel that most, if not all, Chicano
student activities are cliquish,
hence, MECHA has one "ingroup," the Fraternity has their
"inner circle," and the Chicano
Business Students have st.ill an~
other "clique • ., However. the
problem is much more complex
than just the amount of homework. or the bad publicity chairmen of Chicano student groups,
or the "stuck-ups" of such clubs,
rather it is a combination of the
above, and more - fear. It seems
that many Chicano students are
afraid of participation in Chicano
activities, from MECHA. to La
Raza Studies.
This is the first article of a
three-part series that will examine the situation of the "other"
Chicano students', the uninvolved,
the silent ones. The issue in this
article is not to demean or denigrate "los invisibles," but to air
the question that has confronted
Chicano student leaders, the
community, and the Chicano faculty and administrators of CSU,
Fresno, namely •what are they
doing and why?" The question is
important for several ff~asons:
(1) Given the underrepresentation
of Chicanos in the professions,
into what areas of study are
these students planning to specialize? (2) Given the need of
Chicanos to help in the improvement of the socio-economic and ·
political status of Chicanos, what
are the ohjecti ves of these students once they have graduated?
(3) Given the ability of the system to institutionalize the minds
of most students. do these students visualize themselves as
change-agents or status-seekers'?
There has been a te_n dency
among activist students to label
such silent, uninvolved, and'
politically-passive students as
•vendidos," "sell-outs," "coconut_s" and other more colorful
adjectives. Nonetheless, such a
response is simplistic and does
not take into consideration several important factors that conditions the political socialization
of any individual, including Chicano students. Indeed, many
Chic.ano activists are prone •to
forget" when they were •Mexican-Americans," "Americans of
Chicanos picket Fresno School D•istrict
The Fresno School District Administration Building picket line was conducted to serve aotice
that the Chicano Community was disturbed by the actions of the Board and Administration of the
Fresno Unified School District. Particularly, the lack of affirmative respon~e by the Board of
Trustees. Their conception that they represent the total community is totally false, they don't
understand what successful education is for Chicanos in the City of Fresno.
That they are incapable of understanding the enormity of educational problems facing Chicanos
is apparent.
Th1s is the first protest signifying that inferior education will not be accepted by the Chicano
community. A coalition of groups is represented demonstrating their solidarity in opposition to
the process of mis-education practice in Fresno.
Mex .i can descent," "SpanishAmericans," "Spanish, "or worse,
deny their Mexicaness out right.
However, self-righteousness on
the part of Chicano activists will
not answer the question raised
earlier. We Chicanos who are
attempting to make change can no
longer afford the luxury of flinging epithets or neglecting the
growing number of Chicano students who are not involved. If
the system is trying to brainwash
Raza into pacifiers of the Move_ment , then we must re-examine
ourselves, and more importantly,
those Chicanos who may be victims of a subtle but destructive
manipulation - Chicanos are just
as vulnerable · to the one-dimensional society as anyone else.
· Have these "inv.isible" students
been socialized away from Chicano activities, and if so, how and
to what degree? These questions
. will be considered in part II.
Program seeks to better
Chicailo reading ability
El Proyecto "Yo Soy Chicano,"
or as .it was originally called,
The Right to Read Program, is a
coordinated effort between the
Church, the Chicano community
and La Universidad de Aztlan.
This joint ei 4 ort is being directed
toward the bt"'tterment of the high
sh cool Chicano students in the
Fresno and st r-:-ounding areas.
The original concept was one
of helping to o1fercome the lowlevel of proficiency found in today's high school students, but the
parameters of this concept have
been expanded to include providing, first of all, the basic motivation necessary to keeping our
students in school.
The lack of reading ability
coupled with all its attendant ills,
low-level of reading proficiency,
inability to verb a 11 y express
themselves, and thus lackofacademic self-confidence, have historically taken their toll of Chicanos in the educational system.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, after a thorough investigation of this high
Chicano attrition rate, have admitted that traditionalized reading techniques found in secondary
schools are failing this group.
They have asked the help of community groups and institutions to
participate in the formulation of
innovative and effective methods
by which to combat this educational problem.
Chicano students, for the most
part, are turned off by traditional
education. They do ~ot feel a part
of it and are not motivated to sucrPPri

tivated by this existing system
and this lack of motivation manifests itself in all aspects of the
students' attitudes toward life in
general;
Wlth these things in mind, the
main objective, as we perceive
it, is to first of all gene~ate some
type of motivation regardless of
the area or the academic character of this motivation. We have
first of all to work on the particular student and his needs and
through innovative methods channel this motivation and its consequent energies into the development of proficiency in the basic
subjects of which reading is the
most important one.

La Gente Habla
By Tomas Hill
(Editor's note: This is the firstin a series of articles which can be
written by any Chicano on the CSUF campus. This Will be an opinions
column so anyone wishing to utilize this column may do so by contacting the co-editors of La Voz De Aztlan, Catalino Jacques and
Sllsanna Hernandez.)
I want to begin this article on a positive basis by expressing my
gratitude, :1nd, I'm sure everyone else's, to the members of the
Fund-raising committee who made the firstMECHA dance a success.
This committee ts chaired by Manuel Valdez and it was through his
and his committee members' tireless efforts that the baile made it.
I offer a challenge, on behalf of the Fund-raising Committee, to the
other MECHA committees, to work as hard, as th_e y did, to make
their committees as successful. I'm positive this challenge will be
accepted and added to.
·
Now, I will dwell on less pleasant items. First, we have the same
people that have worked hard during prior semesters working hard
again to make the Spring semester a success, or at least presentable.
All the •heavies" just sit around resting on their laurels and don't
· do a damn thing but criticize. I say to them to get off their asses and
show us how to get the job done; put up or shut up. Then there are
those who have worked the Fall semester and now they're taking it
easy, to these •dudes" I say the same thing - help us make this
spring the best and most productive one here at Fresno State.
Another thing is the lack of respect we have shown to guest speakers at our meetings. If anyone has any business to conduct during
the meeting, they should do it outside and not interrupt. our election
of a sergeant-at-arms also shows ,that we don't resp~ct one another
either. There should be no need for anyone having to tell us to be
quiet, after all, we're not kids anymore. Are we? So, let's try to conduct ourselves accordingly.
One more item comes to mind and that concerns the dance, too.
The same people who put the dance together, plus four or five more,
also had to clean up the m·e ss WE all made. I don't think that's fair
to them or to the Chicanos who le( us use the Hall. I'm asking for
everyone's help at the next dance which, incidentally, will be this
Friday. We can clean up that same night ·or the following day. •una
cosa bien hecha es una cosa que satisface."
Letters -to the editor
Editor,
I was wondering deep within,
as to how 1, would answer this
question: 111 What does the word
'Chicano' mean to me?" I smiled
casually to myself cause of self
pride of being a Chicano.
Chicano means PRIDE! A pride
of being- ,of the Spanish Descent
and proud enough to show it;
Chicano means UNITY! The Courage to Unite for Strength, which
is needed to seek and grasp that
to which we have a right. But yet,
most important to me, •Chicano"
means "LOVE!" A Love for one
another as Carnales y Carnalas,
which through Carnalismo is
created.
For this, I wish to give
•Gracias" to my so ever Loving
Padre y Madresita. For through
their s0- ever giving, I have come
to Amar Mi Raza and all for which

it stands. Madrisita, I realize that
words aren't enough to heal and
make up for all the suffering
which has caused rivers of tears
to flow down that so peaceful
face of yours. I caused all this
suffering upon you but, I pledge
that before your life must come
to its end, you'll have been proud
of this Chicano.

Editor, ·
Working within the walls of the
pinta, _many Chicanos find it
rather difficult to express their
ideas of advancement, because it
is an unfulfilled atmosphere.
Communicating with the Mechistas from society, with mail or
any type of newspapers, lets our
Raza here in this pinta know that
you are willing to help.
As the publicity committee, we
feel that it's our duty to offer
you along with ,other carriales
and carnalas, participation. Have
our assurance for we will forward our actions to the so-called
society.

"WELL, AMIGO, I GUESS WE GO BACK TO DOING IT MY WAY!"
COMMENT A.RY
Back to Fresno State
Well, here we are again(?). I've
been afortunado enough to be readmitted to the •illtlstrious institution of higher learning, nw
known through academic circles·
as California State University at
Fresno. !Hijo! !Que loco nombre!
All sarcasm put aside, I'm really
glad to be back. Lots of old cam aradas still around, but at the
same time, many marranos still
here, too.
While reminiscing in front of
the good old cafeteria, I did some
partaking of the ancient pastime
of ruca-watching, mostly ours, of
course. Chihuahua, !Que chulas
mejicanas! Something was missing, though: the anti-war, antiReagan, anti-Baxter, anti-establishment people. Maybe they're
still around someplace. Dormant.
Things have changed·some. For
instance, my Adelita portrait in
La Raza office. When I unveiled
her at the College Union, El Cinco
de Mayo del ·70, all my gente,
including Las Adelitas, cheered.
Now, I hear tonos and grumblings
about the painting being chauvenistic! From the rucas, of course.
All the vatos want to know is the
identity of my model. I should
extend the blouse to cover her
arms and her excellent cleavage_,
but if I do, she ·ll look like Mary
Poppins sporting a 30-30.
Heard some Chicanos murmuring that they didn't want to
be represented by MECHA. My
comment to that, and I speak from
past experience, is that there is
safety in numbers. If you stray
from the herd, the coyotes and
the cu-cuy will get you, Don't
laugh. No matter how assimilated
you are, to the Anglo-American,
you are still from the nice Mexican Family next door.
Talking about the ·Familia next
door, I was talking to a guy from
the nice Anglo family next door
to me and he said he went to
make an application for a job and
was discriminated because he
couldn't speak Spanish. Aawwhh.
Tsk-tsk. Shame!
Hey, man. Did you know that El
Dicko Nixono is planning to eliminate NDSL and E.0 G. grants for
next year and replace them with
B.O.G. 's? ThEl problem there is
that there are no guidelines as
yet for these funds, which wil_l
mean that our amigo Mr. Matheson of Financial Aids, will be
BOGged down with problem as.
Problemas which will undoubtedly affect the eligibility of our
estudiantes.
For those of you chicanos that
want to make academic life interesting, I suggest you pick up copies of Chicano history books, in
case you don't have a clasej
fr_om La Raza. They're not only
good sound reading, but you '11

Chicano students have low profile, complex problems at CSUF
By Juanita saragoza
There are approximately 1200
Chicano students on campus, and
yet. if one attends MECHA meetings , or goes to Adelita gatherings, or discovers the enrollment
of La Raza Studies , you would
not believe the number is th_a t
high. Many r easons are given-for
the low profile of the Chicano
student on campus and his participation in Chicano student activities; thus, some saythatmost
Chicano student's are working and
attending school which makes it
difficult for them to take part in
MECHA, Adelitas, National Chicano HealthOrganization (NCHO),
etc. Others advance the idea that
there is a lack of communication
between indi victual Chicano students and the Chicano student
groups, Moreover, many students
feel that most, if not all, Chicano
student activities are cliquish,
hence, MECHA has one "ingroup," the Fraternity has their
"inner circle," and the Chicano
Business Students have st.ill an~
other "clique • ., However. the
problem is much more complex
than just the amount of homework. or the bad publicity chairmen of Chicano student groups,
or the "stuck-ups" of such clubs,
rather it is a combination of the
above, and more - fear. It seems
that many Chicano students are
afraid of participation in Chicano
activities, from MECHA. to La
Raza Studies.
This is the first article of a
three-part series that will examine the situation of the "other"
Chicano students', the uninvolved,
the silent ones. The issue in this
article is not to demean or denigrate "los invisibles," but to air
the question that has confronted
Chicano student leaders, the
community, and the Chicano faculty and administrators of CSU,
Fresno, namely •what are they
doing and why?" The question is
important for several ff~asons:
(1) Given the underrepresentation
of Chicanos in the professions,
into what areas of study are
these students planning to specialize? (2) Given the need of
Chicanos to help in the improvement of the socio-economic and ·
political status of Chicanos, what
are the ohjecti ves of these students once they have graduated?
(3) Given the ability of the system to institutionalize the minds
of most students. do these students visualize themselves as
change-agents or status-seekers'?
There has been a te_n dency
among activist students to label
such silent, uninvolved, and'
politically-passive students as
•vendidos," "sell-outs," "coconut_s" and other more colorful
adjectives. Nonetheless, such a
response is simplistic and does
not take into consideration several important factors that conditions the political socialization
of any individual, including Chicano students. Indeed, many
Chic.ano activists are prone •to
forget" when they were •Mexican-Americans," "Americans of
Chicanos picket Fresno School D•istrict
The Fresno School District Administration Building picket line was conducted to serve aotice
that the Chicano Community was disturbed by the actions of the Board and Administration of the
Fresno Unified School District. Particularly, the lack of affirmative respon~e by the Board of
Trustees. Their conception that they represent the total community is totally false, they don't
understand what successful education is for Chicanos in the City of Fresno.
That they are incapable of understanding the enormity of educational problems facing Chicanos
is apparent.
Th1s is the first protest signifying that inferior education will not be accepted by the Chicano
community. A coalition of groups is represented demonstrating their solidarity in opposition to
the process of mis-education practice in Fresno.
Mex .i can descent," "SpanishAmericans," "Spanish, "or worse,
deny their Mexicaness out right.
However, self-righteousness on
the part of Chicano activists will
not answer the question raised
earlier. We Chicanos who are
attempting to make change can no
longer afford the luxury of flinging epithets or neglecting the
growing number of Chicano students who are not involved. If
the system is trying to brainwash
Raza into pacifiers of the Move_ment , then we must re-examine
ourselves, and more importantly,
those Chicanos who may be victims of a subtle but destructive
manipulation - Chicanos are just
as vulnerable · to the one-dimensional society as anyone else.
· Have these "inv.isible" students
been socialized away from Chicano activities, and if so, how and
to what degree? These questions
. will be considered in part II.
Program seeks to better
Chicailo reading ability
El Proyecto "Yo Soy Chicano,"
or as .it was originally called,
The Right to Read Program, is a
coordinated effort between the
Church, the Chicano community
and La Universidad de Aztlan.
This joint ei 4 ort is being directed
toward the bt"'tterment of the high
sh cool Chicano students in the
Fresno and st r-:-ounding areas.
The original concept was one
of helping to o1fercome the lowlevel of proficiency found in today's high school students, but the
parameters of this concept have
been expanded to include providing, first of all, the basic motivation necessary to keeping our
students in school.
The lack of reading ability
coupled with all its attendant ills,
low-level of reading proficiency,
inability to verb a 11 y express
themselves, and thus lackofacademic self-confidence, have historically taken their toll of Chicanos in the educational system.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, after a thorough investigation of this high
Chicano attrition rate, have admitted that traditionalized reading techniques found in secondary
schools are failing this group.
They have asked the help of community groups and institutions to
participate in the formulation of
innovative and effective methods
by which to combat this educational problem.
Chicano students, for the most
part, are turned off by traditional
education. They do ~ot feel a part

tivated by this existing system
and this lack of motivation manifests itself in all aspects of the
students' attitudes toward life in
general;
Wlth these things in mind, the
main objective, as we perceive
it, is to first of all gene~ate some
type of motivation regardless of
the area or the academic character of this motivation. We have
first of all to work on the particular student and his needs and
through innovative methods channel this motivation and its consequent energies into the development of proficiency in the basic
subjects of which reading is the
most important one.

La Gente Habla
By Tomas Hill
(Editor's note: This is the firstin a series of articles which can be
written by any Chicano on the CSUF campus. This Will be an opinions
column so anyone wishing to utilize this column may do so by contacting the co-editors of La Voz De Aztlan, Catalino Jacques and
Sllsanna Hernandez.)
I want to begin this article on a positive basis by expressing my
gratitude, :1nd, I'm sure everyone else's, to the members of the
Fund-raising committee who made the firstMECHA dance a success.
This committee ts chaired by Manuel Valdez and it was through his
and his committee members' tireless efforts that the baile made it.
I offer a challenge, on behalf of the Fund-raising Committee, to the
other MECHA committees, to work as hard, as th_e y did, to make
their committees as successful. I'm positive this challenge will be
accepted and added to.
·
Now, I will dwell on less pleasant items. First, we have the same
people that have worked hard during prior semesters working hard
again to make the Spring semester a success, or at least presentable.
All the •heavies" just sit around resting on their laurels and don't
· do a damn thing but criticize. I say to them to get off their asses and
show us how to get the job done; put up or shut up. Then there are
those who have worked the Fall semester and now they're taking it
easy, to these •dudes" I say the same thing - help us make this
spring the best and most productive one here at Fresno State.
Another thing is the lack of respect we have shown to guest speakers at our meetings. If anyone has any business to conduct during
the meeting, they should do it outside and not interrupt. our election
of a sergeant-at-arms also shows ,that we don't resp~ct one another
either. There should be no need for anyone having to tell us to be
quiet, after all, we're not kids anymore. Are we? So, let's try to conduct ourselves accordingly.
One more item comes to mind and that concerns the dance, too.
The same people who put the dance together, plus four or five more,
also had to clean up the m·e ss WE all made. I don't think that's fair
to them or to the Chicanos who le( us use the Hall. I'm asking for
everyone's help at the next dance which, incidentally, will be this
Friday. We can clean up that same night ·or the following day. •una
cosa bien hecha es una cosa que satisface."
Letters -to the editor
Editor,
I was wondering deep within,
as to how 1, would answer this
question: 111 What does the word
'Chicano' mean to me?" I smiled
casually to myself cause of self
pride of being a Chicano.
Chicano means PRIDE! A pride
of being- ,of the Spanish Descent
and proud enough to show it;
Chicano means UNITY! The Courage to Unite for Strength, which
is needed to seek and grasp that
to which we have a right. But yet,
most important to me, •Chicano"
means "LOVE!" A Love for one
another as Carnales y Carnalas,
which through Carnalismo is
created.
For this, I wish to give
•Gracias" to my so ever Loving
Padre y Madresita. For through
their s0- ever giving, I have come

it stands. Madrisita, I realize that
words aren't enough to heal and
make up for all the suffering
which has caused rivers of tears
to flow down that so peaceful
face of yours. I caused all this
suffering upon you but, I pledge
that before your life must come
to its end, you'll have been proud
of this Chicano.

Editor, ·
Working within the walls of the
pinta, _many Chicanos find it
rather difficult to express their
ideas of advancement, because it
is an unfulfilled atmosphere.
Communicating with the Mechistas from society, with mail or
any type of newspapers, lets our
Raza here in this pinta know that
you are willing to help.
As the publicity committee, we
feel that it's our duty to offer
you along with ,other carriales

our assurance for we will forward our actions to the so-called

COMMENT A.RY
Back to Fresno State
Well, here we are again(?). I've
been afortunado enough to be readmitted to the •illtlstrious institution of higher learning, nw
known through academic circles·
as California State University at
Fresno. !Hijo! !Que loco nombre!
All sarcasm put aside, I'm really
glad to be back. Lots of old cam aradas still around, but at the
same time, many marranos still
here, too.
While reminiscing in front of
the good old cafeteria, I did some
partaking of the ancient pastime
of ruca-watching, mostly ours, of
course. Chihuahua, !Que chulas
mejicanas! Something was missing, though: the anti-war, antiReagan, anti-Baxter, anti-establishment people. Maybe they're
still around someplace. Dormant.
Things have changed·some. For
instance, my Adelita portrait in
La Raza office. When I unveiled
her at the College Union, El Cinco
de Mayo del ·70, all my gente,
including Las Adelitas, cheered.
Now, I hear tonos and grumblings
about the painting being chauvenistic! From the rucas, of course.
All the vatos want to know is the
identity of my model. I should
extend the blouse to cover her
arms and her excellent cleavage_,
but if I do, she ·ll look like Mary
Poppins sporting a 30-30.
Heard some Chicanos murmuring that they didn't want to
be represented by MECHA. My
comment to that, and I speak from
past experience, is that there is
safety in numbers. If you stray
from the herd, the coyotes and
the cu-cuy will get you, Don't
laugh. No matter how assimilated
you are, to the Anglo-American,
you are still from the nice Mexican Family next door.
Talking about the ·Familia next
door, I was talking to a guy from
the nice Anglo family next door
to me and he said he went to
make an application for a job and
was discriminated because he
couldn't speak Spanish. Aawwhh.
Tsk-tsk. Shame!
Hey, man. Did you know that El
Dicko Nixono is planning to eliminate NDSL and E.0 G. grants for
next year and replace them with
B.O.G. 's? ThEl problem there is
that there are no guidelines as
yet for these funds, which wil_l
mean that our amigo Mr. Matheson of Financial Aids, will be
BOGged down with problem as.
Problemas which will undoubtedly affect the eligibility of our
estudiantes.
For those of you chicanos that
want to make academic life interesting, I suggest you pick up copies of Chicano history books, in
case you don't have a clasej
fr_om La Raza. They're not only
good sound reading, but you '11

Chicano students have low profile, complex problems at CSUF
By Juanita saragoza
There are approximately 1200
Chicano students on campus, and
yet. if one attends MECHA meetings , or goes to Adelita gatherings, or discovers the enrollment
of La Raza Studies , you would
not believe the number is th_a t
high. Many r easons are given-for
the low profile of the Chicano
student on campus and his participation in Chicano student activities; thus, some saythatmost
Chicano student's are working and
attending school which makes it
difficult for them to take part in
MECHA, Adelitas, National Chicano HealthOrganization (NCHO),
etc. Others advance the idea that
there is a lack of communication
between indi victual Chicano students and the Chicano student
groups, Moreover, many students
feel that most, if not all, Chicano
student activities are cliquish,
hence, MECHA has one "ingroup," the Fraternity has their
"inner circle," and the Chicano
Business Students have st.ill an~
other "clique • ., However. the
problem is much more complex
than just the amount of homework. or the bad publicity chairmen of Chicano student groups,
or the "stuck-ups" of such clubs,
rather it is a combination of the
above, and more - fear. It seems
that many Chicano students are
afraid of participation in Chicano
activities, from MECHA. to La
Raza Studies.
This is the first article of a
three-part series that will examine the situation of the "other"
Chicano students', the uninvolved,
the silent ones. The issue in this
article is not to demean or denigrate "los invisibles," but to air
the question that has confronted
Chicano student leaders, the
community, and the Chicano faculty and administrators of CSU,
Fresno, namely •what are they
doing and why?" The question is
important for several ff~asons:
(1) Given the underrepresentation
of Chicanos in the professions,
into what areas of study are
these students planning to specialize? (2) Given the need of
Chicanos to help in the improvement of the socio-economic and ·
political status of Chicanos, what
are the ohjecti ves of these students once they have graduated?
(3) Given the ability of the system to institutionalize the minds
of most students. do these students visualize themselves as
change-agents or status-seekers'?
There has been a te_n dency
among activist students to label
such silent, uninvolved, and'
politically-passive students as
•vendidos," "sell-outs," "coconut_s" and other more colorful
adjectives. Nonetheless, such a
response is simplistic and does
not take into consideration several important factors that conditions the political socialization
of any individual, including Chicano students. Indeed, many
Chic.ano activists are prone •to
forget" when they were •Mexican-Americans," "Americans of
Chicanos picket Fresno School D•istrict
The Fresno School District Administration Building picket line was conducted to serve aotice
that the Chicano Community was disturbed by the actions of the Board and Administration of the
Fresno Unified School District. Particularly, the lack of affirmative respon~e by the Board of
Trustees. Their conception that they represent the total community is totally false, they don't
understand what successful education is for Chicanos in the City of Fresno.
That they are incapable of understanding the enormity of educational problems facing Chicanos
is apparent.
Th1s is the first protest signifying that inferior education will not be accepted by the Chicano
community. A coalition of groups is represented demonstrating their solidarity in opposition to
the process of mis-education practice in Fresno.
Mex .i can descent," "SpanishAmericans," "Spanish, "or worse,
deny their Mexicaness out right.
However, self-righteousness on
the part of Chicano activists will
not answer the question raised
earlier. We Chicanos who are
attempting to make change can no
longer afford the luxury of flinging epithets or neglecting the
growing number of Chicano students who are not involved. If
the system is trying to brainwash
Raza into pacifiers of the Move_ment , then we must re-examine
ourselves, and more importantly,
those Chicanos who may be victims of a subtle but destructive
manipulation - Chicanos are just
as vulnerable · to the one-dimensional society as anyone else.
· Have these "inv.isible" students
been socialized away from Chicano activities, and if so, how and
to what degree? These questions
. will be considered in part II.
Program seeks to better
Chicailo reading ability
El Proyecto "Yo Soy Chicano,"
or as .it was originally called,
The Right to Read Program, is a
coordinated effort between the
Church, the Chicano community
and La Universidad de Aztlan.
This joint ei 4 ort is being directed
toward the bt"'tterment of the high
sh cool Chicano students in the
Fresno and st r-:-ounding areas.
The original concept was one
of helping to o1fercome the lowlevel of proficiency found in today's high school students, but the
parameters of this concept have
been expanded to include providing, first of all, the basic motivation necessary to keeping our
students in school.
The lack of reading ability
coupled with all its attendant ills,
low-level of reading proficiency,
inability to verb a 11 y express
themselves, and thus lackofacademic self-confidence, have historically taken their toll of Chicanos in the educational system.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, after a thorough investigation of this high
Chicano attrition rate, have admitted that traditionalized reading techniques found in secondary
schools are failing this group.
They have asked the help of community groups and institutions to
participate in the formulation of
innovative and effective methods
by which to combat this educational problem.
Chicano students, for the most
part, are turned off by traditional
education. They do ~ot feel a part
of it and are not motivated to sucrPPri

tivated by this existing system
and this lack of motivation manifests itself in all aspects of the
students' attitudes toward life in
general;
Wlth these things in mind, the
main objective, as we perceive
it, is to first of all gene~ate some
type of motivation regardless of
the area or the academic character of this motivation. We have
first of all to work on the particular student and his needs and
through innovative methods channel this motivation and its consequent energies into the development of proficiency in the basic
subjects of which reading is the
most important one.

La Gente Habla
By Tomas Hill
(Editor's note: This is the firstin a series of articles which can be
written by any Chicano on the CSUF campus. This Will be an opinions
column so anyone wishing to utilize this column may do so by contacting the co-editors of La Voz De Aztlan, Catalino Jacques and
Sllsanna Hernandez.)
I want to begin this article on a positive basis by expressing my
gratitude, :1nd, I'm sure everyone else's, to the members of the
Fund-raising committee who made the firstMECHA dance a success.
This committee ts chaired by Manuel Valdez and it was through his
and his committee members' tireless efforts that the baile made it.
I offer a challenge, on behalf of the Fund-raising Committee, to the
other MECHA committees, to work as hard, as th_e y did, to make
their committees as successful. I'm positive this challenge will be
accepted and added to.
·
Now, I will dwell on less pleasant items. First, we have the same
people that have worked hard during prior semesters working hard
again to make the Spring semester a success, or at least presentable.
All the •heavies" just sit around resting on their laurels and don't
· do a damn thing but criticize. I say to them to get off their asses and
show us how to get the job done; put up or shut up. Then there are
those who have worked the Fall semester and now they're taking it
easy, to these •dudes" I say the same thing - help us make this
spring the best and most productive one here at Fresno State.
Another thing is the lack of respect we have shown to guest speakers at our meetings. If anyone has any business to conduct during
the meeting, they should do it outside and not interrupt. our election
of a sergeant-at-arms also shows ,that we don't resp~ct one another
either. There should be no need for anyone having to tell us to be
quiet, after all, we're not kids anymore. Are we? So, let's try to conduct ourselves accordingly.
One more item comes to mind and that concerns the dance, too.
The same people who put the dance together, plus four or five more,
also had to clean up the m·e ss WE all made. I don't think that's fair
to them or to the Chicanos who le( us use the Hall. I'm asking for
everyone's help at the next dance which, incidentally, will be this
Friday. We can clean up that same night ·or the following day. •una
cosa bien hecha es una cosa que satisface."
Letters -to the editor
Editor,
I was wondering deep within,
as to how 1, would answer this
question: 111 What does the word
'Chicano' mean to me?" I smiled
casually to myself cause of self
pride of being a Chicano.
Chicano means PRIDE! A pride
of being- ,of the Spanish Descent
and proud enough to show it;
Chicano means UNITY! The Courage to Unite for Strength, which
is needed to seek and grasp that
to which we have a right. But yet,
most important to me, •Chicano"
means "LOVE!" A Love for one
another as Carnales y Carnalas,
which through Carnalismo is
created.
For this, I wish to give
•Gracias" to my so ever Loving
Padre y Madresita. For through
their s0- ever giving, I have come

words aren't enough to heal and
make up for all the suffering
which has caused rivers of tears
to flow down that so peaceful

Editor, ·
Working within the walls of the
pinta, _many Chicanos find it
rather difficult to express their
ideas of advancement, because it
is an unfulfilled atmosphere.
Communicating with the Mechistas from society, with mail or
any type of newspapers, lets our

you are willing to help.
As the publicity committee, we

"WELL, AMIGO, I GUESS WE GO BACK TO DOING IT MY WAY!"
COMMENT A.RY
Back to Fresno State
Well, here we are again(?). I've
been afortunado enough to be readmitted to the •illtlstrious institution of higher learning, nw
known through academic circles·
as California State University at
Fresno. !Hijo! !Que loco nombre!
All sarcasm put aside, I'm really
glad to be back. Lots of old cam aradas still around, but at the
same time, many marranos still
here, too.
While reminiscing in front of
the good old cafeteria, I did some
partaking of the ancient pastime
of ruca-watching, mostly ours, of
course. Chihuahua, !Que chulas
mejicanas! Something was missing, though: the anti-war, antiReagan, anti-Baxter, anti-establishment people. Maybe they're
still around someplace. Dormant.
Things have changed·some. For
instance, my Adelita portrait in
La Raza office. When I unveiled
her at the College Union, El Cinco
de Mayo del ·70, all my gente,
including Las Adelitas, cheered.
Now, I hear tonos and grumblings
about the painting being chauvenistic! From the rucas, of course.
All the vatos want to know is the
identity of my model. I should
extend the blouse to cover her
arms and her excellent cleavage_,
but if I do, she ·ll look like Mary
Poppins sporting a 30-30.
Heard some Chicanos murmuring that they didn't want to
be represented by MECHA. My
comment to that, and I speak from
past experience, is that there is
safety in numbers. If you stray
from the herd, the coyotes and
the cu-cuy will get you, Don't
laugh. No matter how assimilated
you are, to the Anglo-American,
you are still from the nice Mexican Family next door.
Talking about the ·Familia next
door, I was talking to a guy from
the nice Anglo family next door
to me and he said he went to
make an application for a job and
was discriminated because he
couldn't speak Spanish. Aawwhh.
Tsk-tsk. Shame!
Hey, man. Did you know that El
Dicko Nixono is planning to eliminate NDSL and E.0 G. grants for
next year and replace them with
B.O.G. 's? ThEl problem there is
that there are no guidelines as
yet for these funds, which wil_l
mean that our amigo Mr. Matheson of Financial Aids, will be
BOGged down with problem as.
Problemas which will undoubtedly affect the eligibility of our
estudiantes.
For those of you chicanos that
want to make academic life interesting, I suggest you pick up copies of Chicano history books, in
case you don't have a clasej
fr_om La Raza. They're not only
good sound reading, but you '11
really trip at some of the myths
that have plagued you all your

Chicano students have low profile, complex problems at CSUF
By Juanita saragoza
There are approximately 1200
Chicano students on campus, and
yet. if one attends MECHA meetings , or goes to Adelita gatherings, or discovers the enrollment
of La Raza Studies , you would
not believe the number is th_a t
high. Many r easons are given-for
the low profile of the Chicano
student on campus and his participation in Chicano student activities; thus, some saythatmost
Chicano student's are working and
attending school which makes it
difficult for them to take part in
MECHA, Adelitas, National Chicano HealthOrganization (NCHO),
etc. Others advance the idea that
there is a lack of communication
between indi victual Chicano students and the Chicano student
groups, Moreover, many students
feel that most, if not all, Chicano
student activities are cliquish,
hence, MECHA has one "ingroup," the Fraternity has their
"inner circle," and the Chicano
Business Students have st.ill an~
other "clique • ., However. the
problem is much more complex
than just the amount of homework. or the bad publicity chairmen of Chicano student groups,
or the "stuck-ups" of such clubs,
rather it is a combination of the
above, and more - fear. It seems
that many Chicano students are
afraid of participation in Chicano
activities, from MECHA. to La
Raza Studies.
This is the first article of a
three-part series that will examine the situation of the "other"
Chicano students', the uninvolved,
the silent ones. The issue in this
article is not to demean or denigrate "los invisibles," but to air
the question that has confronted
Chicano student leaders, the
community, and the Chicano faculty and administrators of CSU,
Fresno, namely •what are they
doing and why?" The question is
important for several ff~asons:
(1) Given the underrepresentation
of Chicanos in the professions,
into what areas of study are
these students planning to specialize? (2) Given the need of
Chicanos to help in the improvement of the socio-economic and ·
political status of Chicanos, what
are the ohjecti ves of these students once they have graduated?
(3) Given the ability of the system to institutionalize the minds
of most students. do these students visualize themselves as
change-agents or status-seekers'?
There has been a te_n dency
among activist students to label
such silent, uninvolved, and'
politically-passive students as
•vendidos," "sell-outs," "coconut_s" and other more colorful
adjectives. Nonetheless, such a
response is simplistic and does
not take into consideration several important factors that conditions the political socialization
of any individual, including Chicano students. Indeed, many
Chic.ano activists are prone •to
forget" when they were •Mexican-Americans," "Americans of
Chicanos picket Fresno School D•istrict
The Fresno School District Administration Building picket line was conducted to serve aotice
that the Chicano Community was disturbed by the actions of the Board and Administration of the
Fresno Unified School District. Particularly, the lack of affirmative respon~e by the Board of
Trustees. Their conception that they represent the total community is totally false, they don't
understand what successful education is for Chicanos in the City of Fresno.
That they are incapable of understanding the enormity of educational problems facing Chicanos
is apparent.
Th1s is the first protest signifying that inferior education will not be accepted by the Chicano
community. A coalition of groups is represented demonstrating their solidarity in opposition to
the process of mis-education practice in Fresno.
Mex .i can descent," "SpanishAmericans," "Spanish, "or worse,
deny their Mexicaness out right.
However, self-righteousness on
the part of Chicano activists will
not answer the question raised
earlier. We Chicanos who are
attempting to make change can no
longer afford the luxury of flinging epithets or neglecting the
growing number of Chicano students who are not involved. If
the system is trying to brainwash
Raza into pacifiers of the Move_ment , then we must re-examine
ourselves, and more importantly,
those Chicanos who may be victims of a subtle but destructive
manipulation - Chicanos are just
as vulnerable · to the one-dimensional society as anyone else.
· Have these "inv.isible" students
been socialized away from Chicano activities, and if so, how and
to what degree? These questions
. will be considered in part II.
Program seeks to better
Chicailo reading ability
El Proyecto "Yo Soy Chicano,"
or as .it was originally called,
The Right to Read Program, is a
coordinated effort between the
Church, the Chicano community
and La Universidad de Aztlan.
This joint ei 4 ort is being directed
toward the bt"'tterment of the high
sh cool Chicano students in the
Fresno and st r-:-ounding areas.
The original concept was one
of helping to o1fercome the lowlevel of proficiency found in today's high school students, but the
parameters of this concept have
been expanded to include providing, first of all, the basic motivation necessary to keeping our
students in school.
The lack of reading ability
coupled with all its attendant ills,
low-level of reading proficiency,
inability to verb a 11 y express
themselves, and thus lackofacademic self-confidence, have historically taken their toll of Chicanos in the educational system.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare, after a thorough investigation of this high
Chicano attrition rate, have admitted that traditionalized reading techniques found in secondary
schools are failing this group.
They have asked the help of community groups and institutions to
participate in the formulation of
innovative and effective methods
by which to combat this educational problem.
Chicano students, for the most
part, are turned off by traditional
education. They do ~ot feel a part

tivated by this existing system
and this lack of motivation manifests itself in all aspects of the
students' attitudes toward life in
general;
Wlth these things in mind, the
main objective, as we perceive
it, is to first of all gene~ate some
type of motivation regardless of
the area or the academic character of this motivation. We have
first of all to work on the particular student and his needs and
through innovative methods channel this motivation and its consequent energies into the development of proficiency in the basic
subjects of which reading is the
most important one.

La Gente Habla
By Tomas Hill
(Editor's note: This is the firstin a series of articles which can be
written by any Chicano on the CSUF campus. This Will be an opinions
column so anyone wishing to utilize this column may do so by contacting the co-editors of La Voz De Aztlan, Catalino Jacques and
Sllsanna Hernandez.)
I want to begin this article on a positive basis by expressing my
gratitude, :1nd, I'm sure everyone else's, to the members of the
Fund-raising committee who made the firstMECHA dance a success.
This committee ts chaired by Manuel Valdez and it was through his
and his committee members' tireless efforts that the baile made it.
I offer a challenge, on behalf of the Fund-raising Committee, to the
other MECHA committees, to work as hard, as th_e y did, to make
their committees as successful. I'm positive this challenge will be
accepted and added to.
·
Now, I will dwell on less pleasant items. First, we have the same
people that have worked hard during prior semesters working hard
again to make the Spring semester a success, or at least presentable.
All the •heavies" just sit around resting on their laurels and don't
· do a damn thing but criticize. I say to them to get off their asses and
show us how to get the job done; put up or shut up. Then there are
those who have worked the Fall semester and now they're taking it
easy, to these •dudes" I say the same thing - help us make this
spring the best and most productive one here at Fresno State.
Another thing is the lack of respect we have shown to guest speakers at our meetings. If anyone has any business to conduct during
the meeting, they should do it outside and not interrupt. our election
of a sergeant-at-arms also shows ,that we don't resp~ct one another
either. There should be no need for anyone having to tell us to be
quiet, after all, we're not kids anymore. Are we? So, let's try to conduct ourselves accordingly.
One more item comes to mind and that concerns the dance, too.
The same people who put the dance together, plus four or five more,
also had to clean up the m·e ss WE all made. I don't think that's fair
to them or to the Chicanos who le( us use the Hall. I'm asking for
everyone's help at the next dance which, incidentally, will be this
Friday. We can clean up that same night ·or the following day. •una
cosa bien hecha es una cosa que satisface."
Letters -to the editor
Editor,
I was wondering deep within,
as to how 1, would answer this
question: 111 What does the word
'Chicano' mean to me?" I smiled
casually to myself cause of self
pride of being a Chicano.
Chicano means PRIDE! A pride
of being- ,of the Spanish Descent
and proud enough to show it;
Chicano means UNITY! The Courage to Unite for Strength, which
is needed to seek and grasp that
to which we have a right. But yet,
most important to me, •Chicano"
means "LOVE!" A Love for one
another as Carnales y Carnalas,
which through Carnalismo is
created.
For this, I wish to give
•Gracias" to my so ever Loving
Padre y Madresita. For through
their s0- ever giving, I have come

words aren't enough to heal and
make up for all the suffering
which has caused rivers of tears

Editor, ·
Working within the walls of the
pinta, _many Chicanos find it
rather difficult to express their
ideas of advancement, because it
is an unfulfilled atmosphere.
Communicating with the Mechistas from society, with mail or
any type of newspapers, lets our
Raza here in this pinta know that
you are willing to help.
As the publicity committee, we
feel that it's our duty to offer
you along with ,other carriales

"WELL, AMIGO, I GUESS WE GO BACK TO DOING IT MY WAY!"
COMMENT A.RY
Back to Fresno State
Well, here we are again(?). I've
been afortunado enough to be readmitted to the •illtlstrious institution of higher learning, nw
known through academic circles·
as California State University at
Fresno. !Hijo! !Que loco nombre!
All sarcasm put aside, I'm really
glad to be back. Lots of old cam aradas still around, but at the
same time, many marranos still
here, too.
While reminiscing in front of
the good old cafeteria, I did some
partaking of the ancient pastime
of ruca-watching, mostly ours, of
course. Chihuahua, !Que chulas
mejicanas! Something was missing, though: the anti-war, antiReagan, anti-Baxter, anti-establishment people. Maybe they're
still around someplace. Dormant.
Things have changed·some. For
instance, my Adelita portrait in
La Raza office. When I unveiled
her at the College Union, El Cinco
de Mayo del ·70, all my gente,
including Las Adelitas, cheered.
Now, I hear tonos and grumblings
about the painting being chauvenistic! From the rucas, of course.
All the vatos want to know is the
identity of my model. I should
extend the blouse to cover her
arms and her excellent cleavage_,
but if I do, she ·ll look like Mary
Poppins sporting a 30-30.
Heard some Chicanos murmuring that they didn't want to

comment to that, and I speak from
past experience, is that there is
safety in numbers. If you stray
from the herd, the coyotes and
the cu-cuy will get you, Don't
laugh. No matter how assimilated
you are, to the Anglo-American,
you are still from the nice Mexican Family next door.
Talking about the ·Familia next
door, I was talking to a guy from
the nice Anglo family next door
to me and he said he went to
make an application for a job and
was discriminated because he
couldn't speak Spanish. Aawwhh.
Tsk-tsk. Shame!
Hey, man. Did you know that El
Dicko Nixono is planning to eliminate NDSL and E.0 G. grants for
next year and replace them with

that there are no guidelines as
yet for these funds, which wil_l
mean that our amigo Mr. Matheson of Financial Aids, will be
BOGged down with problem as.

For those of you chicanos that
want to make academic life interesting, I suggest you pick up copies of Chicano history books, in

wants to stress the importance
Pesticide
of meeting these deadlines on
time. If there are nay Chicano
students who know Chicanos who
will be entering CSUF next fall
under the EOP program and whp

culties that might arise from a

Chicano students are encouraged
to file right away.
In April, the EOP staff wil~
form a small committee to interview each applicant. They are
trying to get a better personal
attitude from the students.
