Evans opposed to- more minority .courses
By Larry Romero
Dr . Ralph Evans, Dean of the
School of Education, said that he
is "opposed in principle" to a
change in the course structure
at CSUF that will require more
minority oriented courses in order to receive teaching credentials.
Evans was invited by the
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA to speak-on
the Ryan Act and its implementation at CSUF, according to
Marian Rodriguez Powers, chairperson .
In the two-hour-long meeting
pefore a standing room only
crowd on Dec. 19, Evans started
by explaining some of the technical aspects of the Ryan Act and
its differences to the Fisher A ct
which it replaced. After approximately an hour of this the students
started to ask questions.
In regard to a campus-wide
committee that had been set up
by the school to study the implementation of the Ryan Act at
CSUF, senior Ricardo Rodriguez
asked
Evans whether ethnic
make-up of the committee was
taken into consideration.
Evans answered he did not
know "specifically.• "But there
are also otber points of concern about the major (Liberal
Sfudies Major) as it now exists,"
said E vans, enthusiastically
pointing at the students.
Evans conceded that he had
resisted any change on how the
Ryan Act is being interpreted at
CSUF because he was concerned
about "getting

. Act going. •
"I'm ce rtain it will be looked
at in the near future," he said,
referring to changes in the interpretation. of the act.
As it now stands, Evans said,
the school is allowed nine units

When asked why the Ryan Act
was replacing the Fisher Act,
Evans quoted the preamble to the
Ryan Act. It reads:
"The Legislature, recognizing
the need for excel_lence in education and the variety and vitality
of California's many educational
resources, intends to set broad
minimum standards and guidelines for teacher preparation and
licensing to encoura ge both high
standards and diversity."

Rodriguez disagrees with Chicano solons on Obledo· issue
By Cynthia Lugo
Fresno County Supervisor Armando Rodriguez believes the
real objection two Chicano assemblymen have to Gov. Edmund
G. Brown's appointment ofMario
Obledo as secretary of the state
health and welfare agency is not
his failure to consult them, but
that Obledo is not from California.
Rodriguez said he was dismayed by the statement Richard
Alatorre , D-Los Angeles, and Art
Tores, D-Monterey Park, made
criticizing Brown's appointpient
as •an example of undemocratic
conduct• and "secrecy." The
statement did not criticize Obledo, a professor on leave from
the Harvard Law School, and a
former assistant attorney general ·of Texas.
In a letter to the governor,
Rodriguez said he was dismayed
by the statement, and praised
the governor for appointingOble-
do to the high post.
A spokesman for Alatorre said
the governor prides himself on
having an open and responsive
administration, but has proved
little different from Nixon and
Reagan in making appointments.
The assemblymen want to know
what criteria was used in selecting Obledo. •If it were Ronald
Reagan, no ohe would think twice
about it," said. the aide.
The aide said that the assemblymen _voiced the view of many
in Sacramento. The issue also
concerns other appointments, although no one else has publicly
criticized the appointment system, he said.
The aide said there was very
little feedback, and hardly anything negative.
.
Rodriguez said the comments
he heard in the Fresno area and
around the state are unfavorable
to the assemblymen's criticism,
which came during Brown's first
five days in office.
Rodriguez also said in his letter that nothing in the statement
criticized Obledo's education,
ezperience or integrity, and he
further felt that Obledo was highly qualified for the job.
Jose Torres, political advisor
to MECHA, felt' 'the governor did
not need to consult the assemblymen since he has a capable Chicano on his screening committee.
"We put our trust in Brown,"
he said. "It's a good- appointment.•

The two other students worked

Palomino. "Picasso had just
died," he said, "and they were
working with cubist ideas Picasso had. It was like a dedication to Picasso. The three panels
were done with primitive figures
that would tie in together, with the
center as the focal point.•
Other students had attempted to
paint the wall, and there were a
few sketches, but no one had
ever completed the project, said
Palomino.
He said the wall was looked
upon as a place where art students
could paint on -the wall, since it
was the art building.
Palomino does not believe in
;ust slapping paint on buildings,
he believes in planning and growing with the work of art.
This planning and growth process is one reason why he feels
the administration is going about
making a decision backwards.
The project needs approval by

STUDF'\JTS REACT to wall mural on south side of Art-Home Ee
building, painted by students in Professor Ernesto Palomino's art
class in 1971. Photo by George Wada.
By Cynthia Lugo
The CSUF campus, it turns out,
already offers a precedent for the
sponsors of a campaign to decorate building walls with huge
outdoor murals.
Since 1971, the south wall 'or
the art-home-ec building has
been decorated with a mural
which was painted by three students in Professor Ernie Palomino's studio art class in La
Raza Studies program.
Palomino wants the new murals
to "be a professional work of
art, not just paint on the wall.•
The three people who painted the
mural were not art majors, said
_Palonimo.
•
The students had to get per- ·
mission from the maintenance
department to operate heavy
equipment, such as ladders and
scaffolding. They then divided
the mural into three sections.
The middle section, which was
started first, depicts a preColumbian image, which looks
like the face of some ancient
ees.
"We could be there forever
showing sketches. An artist is
always changing," said Palomino.
"We need variety and growth
while the teacher and class is
involved so it can be a universal
statement."
Palomino would like to see
other art instructors become involved with the murals, which
are planned for the walls of
the Speech Arts building. The
murals would be multi-media,
which includes ceramics, wood
and metal in addition to painting.
•This campus lends itself to
murals beautifully because of the
open space," said Palomino.
"There is a lot of space on campus but there is nothing happening to . , artistically."

Dear Dr. Evans:
This letter is in response to
your letter dated December 20th
regarding your presentation on
the Ryan Act to the M.E.C!H.A.

Although some basic points conCfrning the 'Ryan M:t were clarified, Comite CHE _and members
of M.E .C.H.A. feel that the discussion only led to increased
feelings of frustration. It was
frustrating for several reasons,
among which is the fact that we
know that the inadequacies of
this institution are directly felt in
our communities where in some

Education, will retire from CSUF .
Farewell, Dean Evans, and good. riddance.
It may seem a bit harsh and perhaps too cruel a statement to make
to someone retiring, but the dean's insensitivity to the needs of the
Chicano community •in the field of education leave nothing b.ut hope
for a better future once he is gone.
Like t-hat memorable, pot-bellied chain-gang . buard in the Cool
Hand Luke movie: "What we have here, boy, is a failure to com. municate."
· Failure to communicate was evident in a .11 eeting of MECHA
before the Christmas vacation. The Dean spoke to the members and
tried to explain why he opposed the proposed changes in the teacher
credential requirements - changes that would tend to make new
. teachers gain insight into the needs of the minority students they
will be teaching.
Evans said he opposed the changes only in "principle.• But, nevertheless, his opposition went in the form of a memorandum to the
university President.
Evans inadequately denied that his one memo would greatly
influence the President. How .could a dean's memo voicing opposition to a change in his own department not be -influential?
E ven though Evans is opposed to the changes "only in principle,•
.these changes are needed and as of now the School of Education has
not offered any alternative solutions.
So, farewell Senor Evans. As you leav,e these ivory towers of
higher education for the last time, there will be many cheering
brown faces bidding you Adios! Too bad it could not have been sooner.

Here to stay
Every so often, rumblings filter down to the office of La Voz concerning some new · idea or plans to either_ change the format or do
away with funds for the "minority" editions.
·
Needless to say this does not set well with the staff of La Voz or
many of the Chicano students on campus.
Since this is the first issue of the new year and the last for this
semester, it seems only appropriate that we respond to our critics.
First La Voz would like to wish everyone a happy and hopefully
a cordial .New Year and new semester. We look forward to being
around for a long time. Neither the complaints nor the threatened
administrative abuse against the paper will be enough to stop its
publication.
The right, or some would say the privilege , to have a Chicano
1ewspaper on a heretofore completely anglo-media-dominated campus did not come about easily. Many students stili rem e mber the
actual hard fi ght to gain this small concession fro m a hostile administration.
Second, one specific idea to change the format of the "minority"
· editions . was brou ght up this semester by an applicant for editor of
the Dally Collegian. This applicant set se t as one of his proposed
poli cy chan ges to alte r the format of the minority is sues of La Voz
a nd Uhuru.
He did add, "with the permission of their respective
editors. "
Here the record must be set straight for future editors or campaiiners who may want to attempt to change the "minority" issues.
Consideration must first be given to what the people to be affected
have to say. The days of the mighty colonizers are over, baby!
Fortunately, for the would-be editor and La Raza, he was not appointed editor.
A third point is to be directed to the ever present and persistent
grumblings emanating from the student government offices. For
whatever reason rumors of some "high" official threatening to move
against funds for the minority edittons are .heard. Hopefully these
grumblings are only the resulty of an ex-army cook's unsu ccessful
culinary exercise.
This is not to say that La Voz is not open to constructive criticism.
In fact , La Voz welcomes any and all such criticism . But what we
are saying is-La Voz is here to stay. Any changes that must be
made will be made-by the people it represents.

.THE '75 BOYCOTT
In accordance with a unanimous
mandate passed at the recent
National student Association Congress, a national student office
has been established to coordinate
and organize farm ~workerrelated activities at colleges,
universities and high sch oo 1 s
'throughout the country.
The National Student Committee for. F'armworkers will be organizing campus support committees which will educate and
actively Involve students in the
farm workers' struggle by publicizing the boycott through articles, advertis.ements , meetings,
posters , radio spots, fund raisers, etc. , and is also developing
internship programs whereby
students can work full time for
the Farm Workers and receive
academic credit.
The Farm Workers are boycotting three things:
1) Gallo Wines
2) Non-UFW iceberg lettuce
3) No~-UFW grapes
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN-3
Gallo sales have dropped 16-19
per cent (Wall StreeC Journal
5/ 17/ 74, Washington Post 10/ 6/
74, S.F. Chronicle 8/ 25 / 74). Much
of this slump can be attributed
to the decisions of millions of
wine-drinking students who are
supporting the farm . workers.
Schools across the country
have reported that they have
cleared their cafeterias of all
non-UFW iceberg lettuce and
grapes through successful campus referendums and petitions.
There are presently over seven
million boxes of table grapes in
cold storage facilities ·in California (USDA figures) - nearly
double the amount in cold storage
at this time during the non-boycott years of '70, '71 and " 72 a11d
1et tu c e prices this summer
dropped well below production
costs. Student action can have a
significant impact on lettuce and
grape growers who respond more
readily to economic~ repercussions than to the needs of their
workers and can also serve to inform the student body of the farm
workers' critical situation .

Evans opposed to- more minority .courses
By Larry Romero
Dr . Ralph Evans, Dean of the
School of Education, said that he
is "opposed in principle" to a
change in the course structure
at CSUF that will require more
minority oriented courses in order to receive teaching credentials.
Evans was invited by the
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA to speak-on
the Ryan Act and its implementation at CSUF, according to
Marian Rodriguez Powers, chairperson .
In the two-hour-long meeting
pefore a standing room only
crowd on Dec. 19, Evans started
by explaining some of the technical aspects of the Ryan Act and
its differences to the Fisher A ct
which it replaced. After approximately an hour of this the students
started to ask questions.
In regard to a campus-wide
committee that had been set up
by the school to study the implementation of the Ryan Act at
CSUF, senior Ricardo Rodriguez
asked
Evans whether ethnic
make-up of the committee was
taken into consideration.
Evans answered he did not
know "specifically.• "But there
are also otber points of concern about the major (Liberal

said E vans, enthusiastically
pointing at the students.
Evans conceded that he had

CSUF because he was concerned
about "getting

"I'm ce rtain it will be looked
at in the near future," he said,
referring to changes in the interpretation. of the act.
As it now stands, Evans said,

When asked why the Ryan Act
was replacing the Fisher Act,
Evans quoted the preamble to the
Ryan Act. It reads:
"The Legislature, recognizing
the need for excel_lence in education and the variety and vitality
of California's many educational
resources, intends to set broad
minimum standards and guidelines for teacher preparation and
licensing to encoura ge both high
standards and diversity."

Rodriguez disagrees with Chicano solons on Obledo· issue
By Cynthia Lugo
Fresno County Supervisor Armando Rodriguez believes the
real objection two Chicano assemblymen have to Gov. Edmund
G. Brown's appointment ofMario
Obledo as secretary of the state
health and welfare agency is not
his failure to consult them, but
that Obledo is not from California.
Rodriguez said he was dismayed by the statement Richard
Alatorre , D-Los Angeles, and Art
Tores, D-Monterey Park, made
criticizing Brown's appointpient
as •an example of undemocratic
conduct• and "secrecy." The
statement did not criticize Obledo, a professor on leave from
the Harvard Law School, and a
former assistant attorney general ·of Texas.
In a letter to the governor,
Rodriguez said he was dismayed
by the statement, and praised
the governor for appointingOble-
do to the high post.
A spokesman for Alatorre said
the governor prides himself on
having an open and responsive
administration, but has proved
little different from Nixon and
Reagan in making appointments.
The assemblymen want to know
what criteria was used in selecting Obledo. •If it were Ronald
Reagan, no ohe would think twice
about it," said. the aide.
The aide said that the assemblymen _voiced the view of many
in Sacramento. The issue also
concerns other appointments, although no one else has publicly
criticized the appointment system, he said.
The aide said there was very
little feedback, and hardly anything negative.
.
Rodriguez said the comments
he heard in the Fresno area and
around the state are unfavorable
to the assemblymen's criticism,
which came during Brown's first
five days in office.
Rodriguez also said in his letter that nothing in the statement
criticized Obledo's education,
ezperience or integrity, and he
further felt that Obledo was highly qualified for the job.
Jose Torres, political advisor
to MECHA, felt' 'the governor did
not need to consult the assemblymen since he has a capable Chicano on his screening committee.
"We put our trust in Brown,"
he said. "It's a good- appointment.•

Palomino. "Picasso had just

Other students had attempted to
paint the wall, and there were a
few sketches, but no one had
ever completed the project, said
Palomino.
He said the wall was looked
upon as a place where art students
could paint on -the wall, since it
was the art building.
Palomino does not believe in
;ust slapping paint on buildings,
he believes in planning and growing with the work of art.
This planning and growth process is one reason why he feels
the administration is going about
making a decision backwards.

STUDF'\JTS REACT to wall mural on south side of Art-Home Ee
building, painted by students in Professor Ernesto Palomino's art
class in 1971. Photo by George Wada.
By Cynthia Lugo
The CSUF campus, it turns out,
already offers a precedent for the
sponsors of a campaign to decorate building walls with huge
outdoor murals.
Since 1971, the south wall 'or
the art-home-ec building has
been decorated with a mural
which was painted by three students in Professor Ernie Palomino's studio art class in La
Raza Studies program.
Palomino wants the new murals
to "be a professional work of
art, not just paint on the wall.•
The three people who painted the
mural were not art majors, said
_Palonimo.
•
The students had to get per- ·
mission from the maintenance
department to operate heavy
equipment, such as ladders and
scaffolding. They then divided
the mural into three sections.
The middle section, which was
started first, depicts a preColumbian image, which looks
like the face of some ancient
ees.
"We could be there forever
showing sketches. An artist is
always changing," said Palomino.
"We need variety and growth
while the teacher and class is
involved so it can be a universal
statement."
Palomino would like to see
other art instructors become involved with the murals, which
are planned for the walls of
the Speech Arts building. The
murals would be multi-media,
which includes ceramics, wood
and metal in addition to painting.
•This campus lends itself to
murals beautifully because of the
open space," said Palomino.
"There is a lot of space on campus but there is nothing happening to . , artistically."

of M.E .C.H.A. feel that the discussion only led to increased
feelings of frustration. It was
frustrating for several reasons,
among which is the fact that we

Farewell, Dean Evans, and good. riddance.
It may seem a bit harsh and perhaps too cruel a statement to make
to someone retiring, but the dean's insensitivity to the needs of the
Chicano community •in the field of education leave nothing b.ut hope
for a better future once he is gone.
Like t-hat memorable, pot-bellied chain-gang . buard in the Cool
Hand Luke movie: "What we have here, boy, is a failure to com. municate."
· Failure to communicate was evident in a .11 eeting of MECHA
before the Christmas vacation. The Dean spoke to the members and
tried to explain why he opposed the proposed changes in the teacher
credential requirements - changes that would tend to make new
. teachers gain insight into the needs of the minority students they
will be teaching.
Evans said he opposed the changes only in "principle.• But, nevertheless, his opposition went in the form of a memorandum to the
university President.
Evans inadequately denied that his one memo would greatly
influence the President. How .could a dean's memo voicing opposition to a change in his own department not be -influential?
E ven though Evans is opposed to the changes "only in principle,•
.these changes are needed and as of now the School of Education has
not offered any alternative solutions.
So, farewell Senor Evans. As you leav,e these ivory towers of
higher education for the last time, there will be many cheering
brown faces bidding you Adios! Too bad it could not have been sooner.

Here to stay
Every so often, rumblings filter down to the office of La Voz concerning some new · idea or plans to either_ change the format or do
away with funds for the "minority" editions.
·
Needless to say this does not set well with the staff of La Voz or
many of the Chicano students on campus.
Since this is the first issue of the new year and the last for this
semester, it seems only appropriate that we respond to our critics.
First La Voz would like to wish everyone a happy and hopefully
a cordial .New Year and new semester. We look forward to being
around for a long time. Neither the complaints nor the threatened
administrative abuse against the paper will be enough to stop its
publication.
The right, or some would say the privilege , to have a Chicano
1ewspaper on a heretofore completely anglo-media-dominated campus did not come about easily. Many students stili rem e mber the
actual hard fi ght to gain this small concession fro m a hostile administration.
Second, one specific idea to change the format of the "minority"
· editions . was brou ght up this semester by an applicant for editor of
the Dally Collegian. This applicant set se t as one of his proposed
poli cy chan ges to alte r the format of the minority is sues of La Voz
a nd Uhuru.
He did add, "with the permission of their respective
editors. "
Here the record must be set straight for future editors or campaiiners who may want to attempt to change the "minority" issues.
Consideration must first be given to what the people to be affected
have to say. The days of the mighty colonizers are over, baby!
Fortunately, for the would-be editor and La Raza, he was not appointed editor.
A third point is to be directed to the ever present and persistent
grumblings emanating from the student government offices. For
whatever reason rumors of some "high" official threatening to move
against funds for the minority edittons are .heard. Hopefully these
grumblings are only the resulty of an ex-army cook's unsu ccessful
culinary exercise.
This is not to say that La Voz is not open to constructive criticism.
In fact , La Voz welcomes any and all such criticism . But what we
are saying is-La Voz is here to stay. Any changes that must be
made will be made-by the people it represents.

.THE '75 BOYCOTT
In accordance with a unanimous
mandate passed at the recent
National student Association Congress, a national student office
has been established to coordinate
and organize farm ~workerrelated activities at colleges,
universities and high sch oo 1 s
'throughout the country.
The National Student Committee for. F'armworkers will be organizing campus support committees which will educate and
actively Involve students in the
farm workers' struggle by publicizing the boycott through articles, advertis.ements , meetings,
posters , radio spots, fund raisers, etc. , and is also developing
internship programs whereby
students can work full time for
the Farm Workers and receive
academic credit.
The Farm Workers are boycotting three things:
1) Gallo Wines
2) Non-UFW iceberg lettuce
3) No~-UFW grapes
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN-3
Gallo sales have dropped 16-19
per cent (Wall StreeC Journal
5/ 17/ 74, Washington Post 10/ 6/
74, S.F. Chronicle 8/ 25 / 74). Much
of this slump can be attributed
to the decisions of millions of
wine-drinking students who are
supporting the farm . workers.
Schools across the country
have reported that they have
cleared their cafeterias of all
non-UFW iceberg lettuce and
grapes through successful campus referendums and petitions.
There are presently over seven
million boxes of table grapes in
cold storage facilities ·in California (USDA figures) - nearly
double the amount in cold storage
at this time during the non-boycott years of '70, '71 and " 72 a11d
1et tu c e prices this summer
dropped well below production
costs. Student action can have a
significant impact on lettuce and
grape growers who respond more
readily to economic~ repercussions than to the needs of their
workers and can also serve to inform the student body of the farm
workers' critical situation .

Evans opposed to- more minority .courses
By Larry Romero
Dr . Ralph Evans, Dean of the
School of Education, said that he
is "opposed in principle" to a
change in the course structure
at CSUF that will require more
minority oriented courses in order to receive teaching credentials.
Evans was invited by the
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA to speak-on
the Ryan Act and its implementation at CSUF, according to
Marian Rodriguez Powers, chairperson .
In the two-hour-long meeting
pefore a standing room only
crowd on Dec. 19, Evans started
by explaining some of the technical aspects of the Ryan Act and
its differences to the Fisher A ct
which it replaced. After approximately an hour of this the students
started to ask questions.
In regard to a campus-wide
committee that had been set up
by the school to study the implementation of the Ryan Act at
CSUF, senior Ricardo Rodriguez
asked
Evans whether ethnic
make-up of the committee was
taken into consideration.
Evans answered he did not
know "specifically.• "But there

CSUF because he was concerned
about "getting

"I'm ce rtain it will be looked
at in the near future," he said,
referring to changes in the interpretation. of the act.
As it now stands, Evans said,

When asked why the Ryan Act
was replacing the Fisher Act,
Evans quoted the preamble to the
Ryan Act. It reads:
"The Legislature, recognizing

of California's many educational
resources, intends to set broad
minimum standards and guidelines for teacher preparation and

Rodriguez disagrees with Chicano solons on Obledo· issue
By Cynthia Lugo
Fresno County Supervisor Armando Rodriguez believes the
real objection two Chicano assemblymen have to Gov. Edmund
G. Brown's appointment ofMario
Obledo as secretary of the state
health and welfare agency is not
his failure to consult them, but
that Obledo is not from California.
Rodriguez said he was dismayed by the statement Richard
Alatorre , D-Los Angeles, and Art
Tores, D-Monterey Park, made
criticizing Brown's appointpient
as •an example of undemocratic
conduct• and "secrecy." The
statement did not criticize Obledo, a professor on leave from
the Harvard Law School, and a
former assistant attorney general ·of Texas.
In a letter to the governor,
Rodriguez said he was dismayed
by the statement, and praised
the governor for appointingOble-
do to the high post.
A spokesman for Alatorre said
the governor prides himself on
having an open and responsive
administration, but has proved
little different from Nixon and
Reagan in making appointments.
The assemblymen want to know
what criteria was used in selecting Obledo. •If it were Ronald
Reagan, no ohe would think twice
about it," said. the aide.
The aide said that the assemblymen _voiced the view of many
in Sacramento. The issue also
concerns other appointments, although no one else has publicly
criticized the appointment system, he said.
The aide said there was very
little feedback, and hardly anything negative.
.
Rodriguez said the comments
he heard in the Fresno area and
around the state are unfavorable
to the assemblymen's criticism,
which came during Brown's first
five days in office.
Rodriguez also said in his letter that nothing in the statement
criticized Obledo's education,
ezperience or integrity, and he
further felt that Obledo was highly qualified for the job.
Jose Torres, political advisor
to MECHA, felt' 'the governor did
not need to consult the assemblymen since he has a capable Chicano on his screening committee.
"We put our trust in Brown,"
he said. "It's a good- appointment.•

Palomino. "Picasso had just

that would tie in together, with the

Other students had attempted to
paint the wall, and there were a
few sketches, but no one had
ever completed the project, said
Palomino.
He said the wall was looked
upon as a place where art students
could paint on -the wall, since it
was the art building.
Palomino does not believe in
;ust slapping paint on buildings,
he believes in planning and growing with the work of art.
This planning and growth process is one reason why he feels
the administration is going about
making a decision backwards.

STUDF'\JTS REACT to wall mural on south side of Art-Home Ee
building, painted by students in Professor Ernesto Palomino's art
class in 1971. Photo by George Wada.
By Cynthia Lugo
The CSUF campus, it turns out,
already offers a precedent for the
sponsors of a campaign to decorate building walls with huge
outdoor murals.
Since 1971, the south wall 'or
the art-home-ec building has
been decorated with a mural
which was painted by three students in Professor Ernie Palomino's studio art class in La
Raza Studies program.
Palomino wants the new murals
to "be a professional work of
art, not just paint on the wall.•
The three people who painted the
mural were not art majors, said
_Palonimo.
•
The students had to get per- ·
mission from the maintenance
department to operate heavy
equipment, such as ladders and
scaffolding. They then divided
the mural into three sections.
The middle section, which was
started first, depicts a preColumbian image, which looks
like the face of some ancient
ees.
"We could be there forever
showing sketches. An artist is
always changing," said Palomino.
"We need variety and growth
while the teacher and class is
involved so it can be a universal
statement."
Palomino would like to see
other art instructors become involved with the murals, which
are planned for the walls of
the Speech Arts building. The
murals would be multi-media,
which includes ceramics, wood
and metal in addition to painting.
•This campus lends itself to
murals beautifully because of the
open space," said Palomino.
"There is a lot of space on campus but there is nothing happening to . , artistically."

Farewell, Dean Evans, and good. riddance.
It may seem a bit harsh and perhaps too cruel a statement to make
to someone retiring, but the dean's insensitivity to the needs of the
Chicano community •in the field of education leave nothing b.ut hope
for a better future once he is gone.
Like t-hat memorable, pot-bellied chain-gang . buard in the Cool
Hand Luke movie: "What we have here, boy, is a failure to com. municate."
· Failure to communicate was evident in a .11 eeting of MECHA
before the Christmas vacation. The Dean spoke to the members and
tried to explain why he opposed the proposed changes in the teacher
credential requirements - changes that would tend to make new
. teachers gain insight into the needs of the minority students they
will be teaching.
Evans said he opposed the changes only in "principle.• But, nevertheless, his opposition went in the form of a memorandum to the
university President.
Evans inadequately denied that his one memo would greatly
influence the President. How .could a dean's memo voicing opposition to a change in his own department not be -influential?
E ven though Evans is opposed to the changes "only in principle,•
.these changes are needed and as of now the School of Education has
not offered any alternative solutions.
So, farewell Senor Evans. As you leav,e these ivory towers of
higher education for the last time, there will be many cheering
brown faces bidding you Adios! Too bad it could not have been sooner.

Here to stay
Every so often, rumblings filter down to the office of La Voz concerning some new · idea or plans to either_ change the format or do
away with funds for the "minority" editions.
·
Needless to say this does not set well with the staff of La Voz or
many of the Chicano students on campus.
Since this is the first issue of the new year and the last for this
semester, it seems only appropriate that we respond to our critics.
First La Voz would like to wish everyone a happy and hopefully
a cordial .New Year and new semester. We look forward to being
around for a long time. Neither the complaints nor the threatened
administrative abuse against the paper will be enough to stop its
publication.
The right, or some would say the privilege , to have a Chicano
1ewspaper on a heretofore completely anglo-media-dominated campus did not come about easily. Many students stili rem e mber the
actual hard fi ght to gain this small concession fro m a hostile administration.
Second, one specific idea to change the format of the "minority"
· editions . was brou ght up this semester by an applicant for editor of
the Dally Collegian. This applicant set se t as one of his proposed
poli cy chan ges to alte r the format of the minority is sues of La Voz
a nd Uhuru.
He did add, "with the permission of their respective
editors. "
Here the record must be set straight for future editors or campaiiners who may want to attempt to change the "minority" issues.
Consideration must first be given to what the people to be affected
have to say. The days of the mighty colonizers are over, baby!
Fortunately, for the would-be editor and La Raza, he was not appointed editor.
A third point is to be directed to the ever present and persistent
grumblings emanating from the student government offices. For
whatever reason rumors of some "high" official threatening to move
against funds for the minority edittons are .heard. Hopefully these
grumblings are only the resulty of an ex-army cook's unsu ccessful
culinary exercise.
This is not to say that La Voz is not open to constructive criticism.
In fact , La Voz welcomes any and all such criticism . But what we
are saying is-La Voz is here to stay. Any changes that must be
made will be made-by the people it represents.

.THE '75 BOYCOTT
In accordance with a unanimous
mandate passed at the recent
National student Association Congress, a national student office
has been established to coordinate
and organize farm ~workerrelated activities at colleges,
universities and high sch oo 1 s
'throughout the country.
The National Student Committee for. F'armworkers will be organizing campus support committees which will educate and
actively Involve students in the
farm workers' struggle by publicizing the boycott through articles, advertis.ements , meetings,
posters , radio spots, fund raisers, etc. , and is also developing
internship programs whereby
students can work full time for
the Farm Workers and receive
academic credit.
The Farm Workers are boycotting three things:
1) Gallo Wines
2) Non-UFW iceberg lettuce
3) No~-UFW grapes
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN-3
Gallo sales have dropped 16-19
per cent (Wall StreeC Journal
5/ 17/ 74, Washington Post 10/ 6/
74, S.F. Chronicle 8/ 25 / 74). Much
of this slump can be attributed
to the decisions of millions of
wine-drinking students who are
supporting the farm . workers.
Schools across the country
have reported that they have
cleared their cafeterias of all
non-UFW iceberg lettuce and
grapes through successful campus referendums and petitions.
There are presently over seven
million boxes of table grapes in
cold storage facilities ·in California (USDA figures) - nearly
double the amount in cold storage
at this time during the non-boycott years of '70, '71 and " 72 a11d
1et tu c e prices this summer
dropped well below production
costs. Student action can have a
significant impact on lettuce and
grape growers who respond more
readily to economic~ repercussions than to the needs of their
workers and can also serve to inform the student body of the farm
workers' critical situation .

Evans opposed to- more minority .courses
By Larry Romero
Dr . Ralph Evans, Dean of the
School of Education, said that he
is "opposed in principle" to a
change in the course structure
at CSUF that will require more
minority oriented courses in order to receive teaching credentials.
Evans was invited by the
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA to speak-on
the Ryan Act and its implementation at CSUF, according to
Marian Rodriguez Powers, chairperson .
In the two-hour-long meeting
pefore a standing room only
crowd on Dec. 19, Evans started
by explaining some of the technical aspects of the Ryan Act and
its differences to the Fisher A ct
which it replaced. After approximately an hour of this the students
started to ask questions.
In regard to a campus-wide
committee that had been set up
by the school to study the implementation of the Ryan Act at
CSUF, senior Ricardo Rodriguez
asked
Evans whether ethnic
make-up of the committee was
taken into consideration.
Evans answered he did not

CSUF because he was concerned
about "getting

"I'm ce rtain it will be looked
at in the near future," he said,
referring to changes in the interpretation. of the act.
As it now stands, Evans said,

When asked why the Ryan Act
was replacing the Fisher Act,
Evans quoted the preamble to the
Ryan Act. It reads:
"The Legislature, recognizing

of California's many educational
resources, intends to set broad
minimum standards and guidelines for teacher preparation and

Rodriguez disagrees with Chicano solons on Obledo· issue
By Cynthia Lugo
Fresno County Supervisor Armando Rodriguez believes the
real objection two Chicano assemblymen have to Gov. Edmund
G. Brown's appointment ofMario
Obledo as secretary of the state
health and welfare agency is not
his failure to consult them, but
that Obledo is not from California.
Rodriguez said he was dismayed by the statement Richard
Alatorre , D-Los Angeles, and Art
Tores, D-Monterey Park, made
criticizing Brown's appointpient
as •an example of undemocratic
conduct• and "secrecy." The
statement did not criticize Obledo, a professor on leave from
the Harvard Law School, and a
former assistant attorney general ·of Texas.
In a letter to the governor,
Rodriguez said he was dismayed
by the statement, and praised
the governor for appointingOble-
do to the high post.
A spokesman for Alatorre said
the governor prides himself on
having an open and responsive
administration, but has proved
little different from Nixon and
Reagan in making appointments.
The assemblymen want to know
what criteria was used in selecting Obledo. •If it were Ronald
Reagan, no ohe would think twice
about it," said. the aide.
The aide said that the assemblymen _voiced the view of many
in Sacramento. The issue also
concerns other appointments, although no one else has publicly
criticized the appointment system, he said.
The aide said there was very
little feedback, and hardly anything negative.
.
Rodriguez said the comments
he heard in the Fresno area and
around the state are unfavorable
to the assemblymen's criticism,
which came during Brown's first
five days in office.
Rodriguez also said in his letter that nothing in the statement
criticized Obledo's education,
ezperience or integrity, and he
further felt that Obledo was highly qualified for the job.
Jose Torres, political advisor
to MECHA, felt' 'the governor did
not need to consult the assemblymen since he has a capable Chicano on his screening committee.
"We put our trust in Brown,"
he said. "It's a good- appointment.•

The two other students worked

Palomino. "Picasso had just
died," he said, "and they were
working with cubist ideas Picasso had. It was like a dedication to Picasso. The three panels
were done with primitive figures
that would tie in together, with the
center as the focal point.•
Other students had attempted to
paint the wall, and there were a
few sketches, but no one had
ever completed the project, said
Palomino.
He said the wall was looked
upon as a place where art students
could paint on -the wall, since it
was the art building.
Palomino does not believe in
;ust slapping paint on buildings,
he believes in planning and growing with the work of art.
This planning and growth process is one reason why he feels
the administration is going about
making a decision backwards.
The project needs approval by

STUDF'\JTS REACT to wall mural on south side of Art-Home Ee
building, painted by students in Professor Ernesto Palomino's art
class in 1971. Photo by George Wada.
By Cynthia Lugo
The CSUF campus, it turns out,
already offers a precedent for the
sponsors of a campaign to decorate building walls with huge
outdoor murals.
Since 1971, the south wall 'or
the art-home-ec building has
been decorated with a mural
which was painted by three students in Professor Ernie Palomino's studio art class in La
Raza Studies program.
Palomino wants the new murals
to "be a professional work of
art, not just paint on the wall.•
The three people who painted the
mural were not art majors, said
_Palonimo.
•
The students had to get per- ·
mission from the maintenance
department to operate heavy
equipment, such as ladders and
scaffolding. They then divided
the mural into three sections.
The middle section, which was
started first, depicts a preColumbian image, which looks
like the face of some ancient
ees.
"We could be there forever
showing sketches. An artist is
always changing," said Palomino.
"We need variety and growth
while the teacher and class is
involved so it can be a universal
statement."
Palomino would like to see
other art instructors become involved with the murals, which
are planned for the walls of
the Speech Arts building. The
murals would be multi-media,
which includes ceramics, wood
and metal in addition to painting.
•This campus lends itself to
murals beautifully because of the
open space," said Palomino.
"There is a lot of space on campus but there is nothing happening to . , artistically."

Farewell, Dean Evans, and good. riddance.
It may seem a bit harsh and perhaps too cruel a statement to make
to someone retiring, but the dean's insensitivity to the needs of the
Chicano community •in the field of education leave nothing b.ut hope
for a better future once he is gone.
Like t-hat memorable, pot-bellied chain-gang . buard in the Cool
Hand Luke movie: "What we have here, boy, is a failure to com. municate."
· Failure to communicate was evident in a .11 eeting of MECHA
before the Christmas vacation. The Dean spoke to the members and
tried to explain why he opposed the proposed changes in the teacher
credential requirements - changes that would tend to make new
. teachers gain insight into the needs of the minority students they
will be teaching.
Evans said he opposed the changes only in "principle.• But, nevertheless, his opposition went in the form of a memorandum to the
university President.
Evans inadequately denied that his one memo would greatly
influence the President. How .could a dean's memo voicing opposition to a change in his own department not be -influential?
E ven though Evans is opposed to the changes "only in principle,•
.these changes are needed and as of now the School of Education has
not offered any alternative solutions.
So, farewell Senor Evans. As you leav,e these ivory towers of
higher education for the last time, there will be many cheering
brown faces bidding you Adios! Too bad it could not have been sooner.

Here to stay
Every so often, rumblings filter down to the office of La Voz concerning some new · idea or plans to either_ change the format or do
away with funds for the "minority" editions.
·
Needless to say this does not set well with the staff of La Voz or
many of the Chicano students on campus.
Since this is the first issue of the new year and the last for this
semester, it seems only appropriate that we respond to our critics.
First La Voz would like to wish everyone a happy and hopefully
a cordial .New Year and new semester. We look forward to being
around for a long time. Neither the complaints nor the threatened
administrative abuse against the paper will be enough to stop its
publication.
The right, or some would say the privilege , to have a Chicano
1ewspaper on a heretofore completely anglo-media-dominated campus did not come about easily. Many students stili rem e mber the
actual hard fi ght to gain this small concession fro m a hostile administration.
Second, one specific idea to change the format of the "minority"
· editions . was brou ght up this semester by an applicant for editor of
the Dally Collegian. This applicant set se t as one of his proposed
poli cy chan ges to alte r the format of the minority is sues of La Voz
a nd Uhuru.
He did add, "with the permission of their respective
editors. "
Here the record must be set straight for future editors or campaiiners who may want to attempt to change the "minority" issues.
Consideration must first be given to what the people to be affected
have to say. The days of the mighty colonizers are over, baby!
Fortunately, for the would-be editor and La Raza, he was not appointed editor.
A third point is to be directed to the ever present and persistent
grumblings emanating from the student government offices. For
whatever reason rumors of some "high" official threatening to move
against funds for the minority edittons are .heard. Hopefully these
grumblings are only the resulty of an ex-army cook's unsu ccessful
culinary exercise.
This is not to say that La Voz is not open to constructive criticism.
In fact , La Voz welcomes any and all such criticism . But what we
are saying is-La Voz is here to stay. Any changes that must be
made will be made-by the people it represents.

.THE '75 BOYCOTT
In accordance with a unanimous
mandate passed at the recent
National student Association Congress, a national student office
has been established to coordinate
and organize farm ~workerrelated activities at colleges,
universities and high sch oo 1 s
'throughout the country.
The National Student Committee for. F'armworkers will be organizing campus support committees which will educate and
actively Involve students in the
farm workers' struggle by publicizing the boycott through articles, advertis.ements , meetings,
posters , radio spots, fund raisers, etc. , and is also developing
internship programs whereby
students can work full time for
the Farm Workers and receive
academic credit.
The Farm Workers are boycotting three things:
1) Gallo Wines

Gallo sales have dropped 16-19
per cent (Wall StreeC Journal
5/ 17/ 74, Washington Post 10/ 6/
74, S.F. Chronicle 8/ 25 / 74). Much
of this slump can be attributed
to the decisions of millions of
wine-drinking students who are
supporting the farm . workers.
Schools across the country
have reported that they have
cleared their cafeterias of all
non-UFW iceberg lettuce and
grapes through successful campus referendums and petitions.
There are presently over seven
million boxes of table grapes in
cold storage facilities ·in California (USDA figures) - nearly
double the amount in cold storage
at this time during the non-boycott years of '70, '71 and " 72 a11d

dropped well below production
costs. Student action can have a
significant impact on lettuce and
grape growers who respond more
readily to economic~ repercussions than to the needs of their
workers and can also serve to inform the student body of the farm
workers' critical situation .
