FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1974

At a conference scheduled for
May 4, 1974, during Semana De
La Raza, MECHA hopes to encourage more Chicano high school
students to attend college, according to Manuel Valdez chairman of the conference com mittee.

Last semester an estimated
400 students from the surrounding hi~;t1 schools throughout the
county attended a conference
_jointly sponsored by the MECHA
chapters from CSUF, Fresno City
College, Reedley City College, La
Universidad de Aztlan and College of the Sequoias.
Meetings with students at the
different high schools have been
held to urge them to think about
attending an institution of higher
learning, according to Valdez.

. He said that even though last
semester's conference was a
success, MECHA feels more of
an effort is needed to let the
Chicano high school student know
that there are means and help
available for the_m.
•we want our •carnales 1 in the
high schools to know that we understand the problems they might
have, and I'm sure everyone here
is willing to help them," said
Valdez.
Other members on the committee are: Mario Galvan, Ann
Noreiga, Jaime Huerta, and
Frank Riojas.
For more information, Valdez
may be contacted at CU 305 or

City seeks applicants under Affirmative Action flag
By Larry Romero
Under the banner of "AnAffirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity
Employer ," the City of Fresno is
seeking applicants for the job of
police cadet.
According to a bulletin put out
by the city's personnel department , "A special effort is being
made . . . to recruit minority
and female individuals who are
looking for a career in law enforcement."

Police specialist Ray Williams,
who has a decision pending with
the state concerning his complaint against discrimination in
the promotional policies of the
city and police department, said
that more minorities should "definitely" apply.
"I see better days ahead (for
minorities). I've had my problems but you can't judge everything from my experience," he
said.

Accordin g to Williams, it's
almost a must that the city do
something ahout getting more
minorities on the force because
if the city won't. the federal
government will have to.
One phase of the test that has
been particularly difficult to pass,
especially for women, is the
agility test.
Cadet Ann Dearing, currently
the only female cadet, failed the
last examination because she was

unable to pass the agility test.
However. she was able to get
into the program through the temporary, federally funded Public
,E mployment Program (PEP).
She likes the program and is
planning on taking the next test
to get on the caqet program permanently.
The previous agility test required that the applicant carry a
140 pound bag 50 feet. Dearingis
only 5-feet-4 and weighs less than

140 pounds.
The new test will require that
the applicant only drag the bag.
Dave Todd of the city's department of personnel and labor
relations said that they have tried
to make the test more relevant to
the job.
According to the city's bulletin, the police cadet . program

Commission criticizes western educators

the conference in San Antonio.
They will be returning Sunday,
March 10. Watch for the story in
the March 22 issue of La Voz.)

·' · .

By George Ramos
· LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Educators in the southwestern United
States have been repeatedly stung
by reports issued on the eduational opportunities available to
Mexican-American children.
The U.S. Commission on Civil
Rights has issued a series of six
reports critical of various aspects of classroom conditions in
five states - California, Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico and Texas
- where 16 to 20 per cent of the
enroUment is made up of Mexican-American children.
In one report issued inAugust,
1972, the commission criticized
the property tax funding ofpublic
education in Texas . .
It contended poor school districts cannot afford to offer its
predominantly Mexican-American enrollment the same quality
of edu.::ation as a so-called •rich"
school district could for its pre-

dominantly Anglo enrollment.
In a report connected with the
commission's study, a California
advisory panel on MexicanAmerican education charged in
1969 that children were exposed
to .physical punishment in certain
school districts for speaking
Spanish.
So many educators admitted
they were not too surprised when
the com mission 1 s final report
came out recently charging that
Mexican-American children were
victimized by •widespread discriminatory practices• in public
schools in the Southwest.
Fifty-five recommendations,
ranging from more.Chicano counselors in high schools to increased .bilingual-:-bicultural education programs, were outlined
in the final report.
Many educators pleaded guilty
to the study 1s conclusions, but
drew the line at what was being
done to co:rrect the situation.
They contended things are being done to improve the situation
for Mexican-Americans.

La Voz requires · input for media group
2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN- 'Fri., Mar. 8, 1974

This semester like every semester, La Voz has changed staffs.
It is difficult - if not impossible - for a handful of students to
represent the views of the entire Chicano population at CSUF.
Unless La Voz receives input from outside sources, the paper will
be greatly handicapped in trying to serve the needs of the Chicano
on campus.
La Voz has already started to implement suggestions it has received from Chicano students. Investigations have begun on tM following proposals: · changing the date of publication, soliciting ads
from the Chicano community, starting a series dealing with volun- _
teer services students are involved in, and a special two page layout where Chicanos can submit poetry, short stories and sketches.
None of these proposals can work without student participation.
Student feedback is needed if any action is to be taken on these
proposals.
If you have an opinion,. criticism, suggestion -or would lik~ to submit material, it will be more than welcome.
There is a box for La Voz materials in the La Raza Studies department, or messages can also be left at the Daily Collegian office.
La Raza Studies department is located in San Ramon-4 , room 132.
Deadlines for submission of materials is the Wednesday before
publication. La Voz is published every alternate Friday.

US Co-urt rules bilingual
educa.tion to be necessary
WASlilNGTON (CNS)-American schoolchildren who do not
speak English or do not speak it
well enough to get an .education
have recently received a helping
hand from the U.S. Supreme
Court.
·
Acting on a case filed on behalf of 2,856 Chinese-speaking
pupils in San Francisco, the court
ruled it ls a violation of their
ci vii rights not to provide either
crash English lessons at an early
age or bilingual instruction or
both.
The decision does not say how
school districts are to provide
equal educational opportunities.
But the court's unanimous decision, written by Justice William
o. Douglas, says in part:
"Imposition of a requirement
that, before a child can effectively participate in the educational program, he must already

have acquired those hasic (English) skills, is to make a mockery of public education ."
It is not clear at this point just
how San Francisco or any other
affected school di_s trict will attempt to comply with the ruling,
hut the prevailing opinion on
Capitol Hill and in the U.S. Office
of Education is that the court is
signaling the nation that it is prepared to hand down tougher decisions in the future if there is
no effective response.
According to the 1970 census,
there are an estimated four to
five million elementary-school
pupils who come from homes
where English is not spoken. Yet
the Office of Education's bilingual program today is reaching
only 130,000 pupils.

improve communication
By Melissa Villanueva
A need to communicate seems
to be the motivation behind Mario
Galvan, he himself readily admits "communication is my big
deal."
Mario is a student senator at
CSUF who was elected last
spring.
In high school, Mario remembers getting a group together to
present student needs to the high
school council. Mario and his
friends wanted to establish a
MECHA club.
Before coming to CSUF Mario
majored in art. He attended College of the Sequoias and in 1970
received an Associate of Arts degree in liberal studies, with an
emphasis on art.
M COS Mario was active in
student government. He recalls
the senate board there, "it was
like a Mickey Mouse organization."
"They would give us budgets
to play with," Budget items usually included "campus a~tivities
like homecoming dances and like
that."
The fall of 1972 was Mario's
first year at CSUF and again he
became -active in student government.
. Mario felt the student representation on campus was "all
screwed up. Student government
was not a powerful entity," as it
. should have heen and minorities?
"They really had no voice,., there
were "very few~ Chicano senators.
Sensing that something was
wrong, Mario ran for a senate
position and lost. but did succeed

in a second attempt. He remembers that becoming involved was
very time consuming.
"l spent the first semester
learning where things were at. I
messed up a lot of my classes
because of that."
Mario, a senior, is now Board
on Publications chairman. His
term ends in June and he is undecided whether he will stay
another year. Should Mario wish
to retain his position in the senate, he would have to run for reelection.
Mario says the senate is· undergoing changes and maybe he
"shouldn't leave the boat right
away. Something is going to happen."
Mario does not elaborate much
more, except to say he feels

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1974

At a conference scheduled for
May 4, 1974, during Semana De
La Raza, MECHA hopes to encourage more Chicano high school
students to attend college, according to Manuel Valdez chairman of the conference com mittee.

Last semester an estimated
400 students from the surrounding hi~;t1 schools throughout the
county attended a conference
_jointly sponsored by the MECHA
chapters from CSUF, Fresno City
College, Reedley City College, La
Universidad de Aztlan and College of the Sequoias.
Meetings with students at the
different high schools have been
held to urge them to think about
attending an institution of higher
learning, according to Valdez.

. He said that even though last
semester's conference was a
success, MECHA feels more of
an effort is needed to let the
Chicano high school student know
that there are means and help
available for the_m.
•we want our •carnales 1 in the
high schools to know that we understand the problems they might
have, and I'm sure everyone here
is willing to help them," said
Valdez.
Other members on the committee are: Mario Galvan, Ann
Noreiga, Jaime Huerta, and
Frank Riojas.

City seeks applicants under Affirmative Action flag
By Larry Romero
Under the banner of "AnAffirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity
Employer ," the City of Fresno is
seeking applicants for the job of
police cadet.
According to a bulletin put out
by the city's personnel department , "A special effort is being
made . . . to recruit minority
and female individuals who are
looking for a career in law enforcement."

Police specialist Ray Williams,
who has a decision pending with
the state concerning his complaint against discrimination in
the promotional policies of the
city and police department, said
that more minorities should "definitely" apply.
"I see better days ahead (for
minorities). I've had my problems but you can't judge everything from my experience," he
said.

Accordin g to Williams, it's
almost a must that the city do
something ahout getting more
minorities on the force because
if the city won't. the federal
government will have to.
One phase of the test that has
been particularly difficult to pass,
especially for women, is the
agility test.
Cadet Ann Dearing, currently
the only female cadet, failed the
last examination because she was

unable to pass the agility test.
However. she was able to get
into the program through the temporary, federally funded Public
,E mployment Program (PEP).
She likes the program and is
planning on taking the next test
to get on the caqet program permanently.
The previous agility test required that the applicant carry a
140 pound bag 50 feet. Dearingis
only 5-feet-4 and weighs less than

140 pounds.
The new test will require that
the applicant only drag the bag.
Dave Todd of the city's department of personnel and labor
relations said that they have tried
to make the test more relevant to
the job.
According to the city's bulletin, the police cadet . program

Commission criticizes western educators

the conference in San Antonio.
They will be returning Sunday,
March 10. Watch for the story in
the March 22 issue of La Voz.)

·' · .

By George Ramos
· LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Educators in the southwestern United
States have been repeatedly stung
by reports issued on the eduational opportunities available to
Mexican-American children.
The U.S. Commission on Civil
Rights has issued a series of six
reports critical of various aspects of classroom conditions in
five states - California, Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico and Texas
- where 16 to 20 per cent of the
enroUment is made up of Mexican-American children.
In one report issued inAugust,
1972, the commission criticized
the property tax funding ofpublic
education in Texas . .
It contended poor school districts cannot afford to offer its
predominantly Mexican-American enrollment the same quality
of edu.::ation as a so-called •rich"
school district could for its pre-

dominantly Anglo enrollment.
In a report connected with the
commission's study, a California
advisory panel on MexicanAmerican education charged in
1969 that children were exposed
to .physical punishment in certain
school districts for speaking
Spanish.
So many educators admitted
they were not too surprised when
the com mission 1 s final report
came out recently charging that
Mexican-American children were
victimized by •widespread discriminatory practices• in public
schools in the Southwest.
Fifty-five recommendations,
ranging from more.Chicano counselors in high schools to increased .bilingual-:-bicultural education programs, were outlined
in the final report.
Many educators pleaded guilty
to the study 1s conclusions, but
drew the line at what was being
done to co:rrect the situation.
They contended things are being done to improve the situation
for Mexican-Americans.

La Voz requires · input for media group
2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN- 'Fri., Mar. 8, 1974

This semester like every semester, La Voz has changed staffs.
It is difficult - if not impossible - for a handful of students to
represent the views of the entire Chicano population at CSUF.
Unless La Voz receives input from outside sources, the paper will
be greatly handicapped in trying to serve the needs of the Chicano
on campus.
La Voz has already started to implement suggestions it has received from Chicano students. Investigations have begun on tM following proposals: · changing the date of publication, soliciting ads
from the Chicano community, starting a series dealing with volun- _
teer services students are involved in, and a special two page layout where Chicanos can submit poetry, short stories and sketches.
None of these proposals can work without student participation.
Student feedback is needed if any action is to be taken on these
proposals.
If you have an opinion,. criticism, suggestion -or would lik~ to submit material, it will be more than welcome.
There is a box for La Voz materials in the La Raza Studies department, or messages can also be left at the Daily Collegian office.

Deadlines for submission of materials is the Wednesday before
publication. La Voz is published every alternate Friday.

US Co-urt rules bilingual
educa.tion to be necessary
WASlilNGTON (CNS)-American schoolchildren who do not
speak English or do not speak it
well enough to get an .education
have recently received a helping
hand from the U.S. Supreme
Court.
·
Acting on a case filed on behalf of 2,856 Chinese-speaking
pupils in San Francisco, the court
ruled it ls a violation of their
ci vii rights not to provide either
crash English lessons at an early
age or bilingual instruction or
both.
The decision does not say how
school districts are to provide
equal educational opportunities.
But the court's unanimous decision, written by Justice William
o. Douglas, says in part:
"Imposition of a requirement
that, before a child can effectively participate in the educational program, he must already

have acquired those hasic (English) skills, is to make a mockery of public education ."
It is not clear at this point just
how San Francisco or any other
affected school di_s trict will attempt to comply with the ruling,
hut the prevailing opinion on
Capitol Hill and in the U.S. Office
of Education is that the court is
signaling the nation that it is prepared to hand down tougher decisions in the future if there is
no effective response.
According to the 1970 census,
there are an estimated four to
five million elementary-school
pupils who come from homes
where English is not spoken. Yet
the Office of Education's bilingual program today is reaching
only 130,000 pupils.

Mario Galvan works to
improve communication
By Melissa Villanueva
A need to communicate seems
to be the motivation behind Mario
Galvan, he himself readily admits "communication is my big
deal."
Mario is a student senator at
CSUF who was elected last
spring.
In high school, Mario remembers getting a group together to
present student needs to the high
school council. Mario and his
friends wanted to establish a
MECHA club.
Before coming to CSUF Mario
majored in art. He attended College of the Sequoias and in 1970
received an Associate of Arts degree in liberal studies, with an
emphasis on art.
M COS Mario was active in
student government. He recalls
the senate board there, "it was
like a Mickey Mouse organization."
"They would give us budgets
to play with," Budget items usually included "campus a~tivities
like homecoming dances and like
that."
The fall of 1972 was Mario's
first year at CSUF and again he
became -active in student government.
. Mario felt the student representation on campus was "all
screwed up. Student government
was not a powerful entity," as it
. should have heen and minorities?
"They really had no voice,., there
were "very few~ Chicano senators.
Sensing that something was
wrong, Mario ran for a senate
position and lost. but did succeed

in a second attempt. He remembers that becoming involved was
very time consuming.
"l spent the first semester
learning where things were at. I
messed up a lot of my classes
because of that."
Mario, a senior, is now Board
on Publications chairman. His
term ends in June and he is undecided whether he will stay
another year. Should Mario wish
to retain his position in the senate, he would have to run for reelection.
Mario says the senate is· undergoing changes and maybe he
"shouldn't leave the boat right
away. Something is going to happen."
Mario does not elaborate much

Yet the state program serves

25,000, a total of 45.000 children.
The federal government plans
to spend close to $60 million ~n

year asks for only $35 million to
continue the effort. It is expected
that the Congress will try to add
on $10 to $15 million.
The Supreme ·coutt's decision

expenditure of $135 million but
also with a broadened scope of
activities. One of the bills' coaufhors is Sen. Alan Cranston,

Through these recom mendations, La Raza instructors develop courses which will prepare
the students to return and develop
untapped resources of their respective communities.

The Comite has sponsored a
variety of activities and programs beneficial to the community and campus. The most current activity is a raffle, with
