California State University, Fresno
Ryan Act topic for tomorrow's workshop
The Ryan Act, the often controversial legislation enacted to
replace the Fisher Bill governing
the credentialing of teachers in
California, will be the topic at an
all-day workshop tomorrow in
the College Union Lounge.
The workshop is officially being sponsored by the Fresno Unified School District under its
Office of Human Relations and
Affirmative Action. That office's
support committee, which is
comprised of several community
members involved and interested
in teacher education is in charge
of the event.
The workshop will start at 8: 30
a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. The
support committee announced
that several members of the
Commission for Teacher Prep-
UFW Boycott Office sends
pickets against Fresno ·store
The recently opened United
Farm Workers of America will
go into action this weekend starting its "Boycott Gallor campaign
Saturday against Payless Market,
located at 1103 "E" St.
The picket line will be assembled in front of the Boycott
Office at 841 W. Belmont Ave.,
across from Roeding Park, at
12:30 p.m. where a caravan will
head towards the store after
owners had been approached and
asked to remove the anti-UFW
wines from their shelves, but
refused.
Ann Williamson, office director for the Fresno office, asked
that any persons who will join
the picketing call the office beforehand, if possible, to take any
supplies, such as signs and flags
to help. on the boycott line.
At the Wednesday night meeting
it was also announced that two
other West Fresno markets have
already agreed to remove the offensive vinos from their stores.
Other stores approached and
facing probable picketing include
Boys market which one member
commented was "very hard about
removing their stock of Gallo
wine."
Williamson said the office
would be willing to welcome any
donations in office supplies.
'Drug abuse
By Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Drug abuse is not a crime,
it's a sickness, said Democratic
Assemblyman Richard Alatorre
during a speech given to an estimated crowd of over 200 persons
in the Pinedale Community Center.
Alatorre was one of several
keynote speakers at a workshop
sponsored by the CSUF School of
Social Work Program Committee
on Monday in cooperation with the
Fresno County Health Department
•
IS • • •
and Substance Abuse Program.
The Assemblyman from East
Los Angeles spoke on the drug
and alcohol problems that are
faced by Chicanos throughout
California and the United States.
Alatorre said that he doesn't
believe that incarceration is the
answer to these problems faced
by the Chicano community. He
feels that people in general do
not want to recognize or come to
grips with the reality of the problem.
The young Chicano lawmaker
aration and Licensing will be
present to discuss the purpose,
intent, merits and limitations of
the Ryan Act.
Among the members of the support committee is CSUF senior
Ricardo Rodriguez, chairman of
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA.
Rodriguez said he hopes the
workshop will help to clarify
what he feels are some very
pertinent questions at CSUF. He
said C omite CHE has been struggling the last two semesters to
get the School of Education to
state what they are doing to conform to the Ryan Act guidelines.
A meeting of M.E C.H.A.
(M ovi miento Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlan) last semester featured
Dr. Dean Evans speaking on the
Ryan Act. But according to past
chairperson of CHE, Marian Rodriguez Powers, members ofCHE
and M ECHA "feel that the discussion only led to increased feelings
of frustration."
The Ryan Act, according to
some state department of education officials, has recognized the
need to afford student teachers
the experience of teaching minority as well as majority group
children. It requires a crosscultural experience during the
teacher, traintng period as a condition for certification.
It furthermore significantly altered the college course patterns
of all prospective California public, elementary and secondary
teachers who will complete credential requirements after Sept.
14, 1975. It differs from the previous bill by changing both academic and professional educational requirements.
The problem which CHE sees
at CSUF is the resistance, mainly from the soon-to-retire dean
of the School of Education, to
require more minority related
courses, said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he views the
crux to the solution of the problem is stated in the preamble to
the Ryan Act. It states:
"The Legislature, recognizing
the need for excellence in educa-
tion 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 encourage both high
standards and diversity."
·
•one has to keep in perspective that this institution has a
service area that is largely populated by Chic'a nos," said Rodriguez.' Thus, he said, the broad
guidelines which are referred to
by the preamble and which other
colleges and universities have
interpreted to include more minority related requirements, are
not being adhered to by the CSUF
school.
A spokesman for the committee
said that each of the many speak(Continued on Page 4, Col.: 1)

The penalty revision bill proposed by Senator George Moscone (D-San Francisco) is the

Although the subject matter
changed, the discussion seemed
to retain the audience's interest.
The first question posed to the
Assemblyman was one concerning the Pinto (an ex-offender
interested in continuing his education) and the Pinto program
now operating throughout the
state.
Alatorre responded by saying
that there is a bill in the working
that would prohibit the denial of
employment for an ex-offender
because he has a prison record.
He said that if we believe in what
we read in the books, that a person has paid his debt once he has
served time, then there would be
no reason for an employer to
look at his previous record.

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
PROMESA offers
bilingual education
PROMESA, the Spanish word
for promise, was the name chosen
by the Parent Advisory Committee for the Fresno Bilingual/
bicultural education program and
for their committee.
The program has been in existence for two years but was only
named a year ago, said Nancy
Arroyo, the Association ofMexican-American Educators' representative to PROMESA.
The name was influenced by the
then popular song, "Eres Tu" and
was voted the most popular and
significant of the unit's goal, said
Arroyo.
There are two bilingual/bicultural education programs currently operating in Fresno: the
Winchel Elementary School program and PROMESA. Arroyo cautioned that they are not one and
the same. The Winchell program
is federally funded while PRO. MESA is funded by the state.
Arroyo explained that the funds
received are used for training
teachers and for buying materials
for the program.
•we don't buy translated materials, our program is more
sophisticated than that," she said
proudly. "Our materials are either written in Mexico or are written here originally in Spanish."
Arroyo said that funding for
the future is sometimes doubtful,
but that they are hopeful of being
able to maintain the program at
least to the present level, because
there are already trained teachers and material available.
The program goals are to promote mutual understanding lnd
appreciation between cultures;
to reinforce language concepts
ln both English and Spanish; to
organize classrooms for bilingual/ bi cultural instructions; to
maintain and increase the Spanish-speaking child's knowledge
of Spanish, and to encourage bilingual/ bi cultural education
throughout the community.
Other goals of the program
are to select the best methods
and materials for bilingual instruction and to advise the school
district on the special needs of
bilingual children.
PROM ES A also provides a
guide, for parents visiting the
classrooms, on what to look for
in the bilingual class, said Arroyo.
She said the project's most
current undertaking is to seek
tl!e answer to the basic question,
"Is Spanish being supported and
maintained in the Fresno Area? "
To find out t he answer,
PROM ESA Is conducting a survey
and compiling a community directory which would consist of
one page on each of the MexicanAmerican community organ,zations and explaining what each
does .
The parent advisory committee is also sponsoring a series
of community lectures on bilingual/hlcultural education.
"We recently sponsored Dr.
Steinman, the attorney who won
the U.S. Supreme Court case of
Lau vs. Nichols , which deals
with the need for bilingual education," she said.
Arroyo said the purpose of the
lectures was to promote bilingual ~ducation in the Fresno
Area and she hopes to have at
least one per mcinth.

Cal Tjader wows them ,n Reedley
•
By Manuel Olgin
The Reedley Spring, Fes ti val
of Arts week was kicked off Monday night. April 14, by Mr. Jazz
himself - CalTjader.Tjaderand
his group perform ed two 50 minute sets in the Reedley College
cafeteria.
The planners of the Spring
Festival showed excellent taste
in selecting Tjader to perform
on their campus, and for this,
Fresno's growing-in-number
Latino-Jazz fans, thank them.
Tjader was accompanied to
Reedley by four musicians who
regularly make up his concert
group. All are experienced musicians who play well together in
crisp, tight. Tjader-led sets.
Each man was featured as a
soloist during the course of the
evening, pleasing the audience
with their individual runs.
Between sets, I had a chance
to speak with members of the
band and found them to be quite
friendly and willing to talk.
Bassist Ratzo E. Harris originally hails from Indianapolis,
Indiana. The friendly, joking Harris is the newest member of the
group, joining them four months
ago. The bassist, now from San
Francisco, plays stand-up bass
when he's with Tjader, but
switches over to the electric
bass when gigging with other
groups.
Dick Berk, the drummer, has
been drumming for 21 ye ars, five
of them with Tjader. His jazzy
spice with his quick runs and
excellent use of the ·cymbal,drew
il Umerous rounds of applause.
Frank Strazzerri, the piano
player . not only provided tempo
for the group, he treated the audience to a couple of his own
piano compositions in which he
melJowed the audience like a webweaving spider.
Unfortunately , I was unable to
meet the Conga player by name.
Still , he and Berk provided good
solid Latino-Jazz percussion that
kept the audience going to the beat
throughout the evening.
T jader, whether he played the
vibes, timbales, or percussion ,
was clearly the leader. The music
flowed to his leadership , it was
fine salsa.
Tjader and his group , having
performed for numerous United
Farm Worker benefits insupport
of the boycott on SCAB GALLO
WINES. related to the audience
with obvious ease.
In one particular instance,
Tjader was introducing the next
song, •Mongo Blue• written by
Mongo Santamaria, the great
Cuban congo player. when from
the crowd arose a round of recognitive applause. "He drinks Gallo
Wine," Tjader smiled.Instantly a
chorus of boos erupted from the
audience. Tjader then kidded

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN~3
Padre Lopez named pastor of West Fresno parish
BY Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Father Prudencio Martinez
came yearly to the town of Corona
and preached. His work with the
Spanish-speaking community was
testimony to the fact that a Mexican could become a priest.
•I saw the good he did for the
people," said Father Enrique
Abelardo Lopez, the newly named
pastor of St. Alphonsus Church.
"He was my image."
The Padre from the Roman
Catholic Parish in West Fresno
said it was this early childhood
remembrance that led him to seek
priesthood.
The 38-year-old priest comes
from a family of four boys and
two girls. Born and raised in
Corona, California, he spent his
early childhood in the labor
camps that surrounded his home
town.

Padre Lopez sees one of the
basic needs that man has is the
need for balance between the
change in reality and the need to
have a solid base to anchor one's
beliefs.
"I believe very strongly that
God reveals.himself to man .in
nature, in hfstorical events, and
in the variety of persons and cultures. Thus, I believe that we
must encourage people as individuals and people as groups to
establish strong self-identieies,
because God is infinite variety.
That variety is reflected in his
creations."
The Padre feels that we are
doing God a disservice by trying
to make people conform to one
pattern. Too many people mistake
conformity for unity, he said, and
unity comes from mutual respect
even when we might disagree in
philosophies.
Father Lopez spoke of his desire to be able to participate in
the formation ofa Christian community in which variety of expression is its characteristic
makeup. He spoke of this community being brought together by
a common faith which included
the love and respect of its members for one another.
The energetic and Idealistic
priest ended by saying that the
Church is always waiting for
the parish com muntty to express
their sentiments as to what they
would like to see coming out of
the Church. This, he said, would
make It possible to incorporate
the ideals of the people into the
total parish plans.

Editor's Note - The Student
Senate has many committees
which conduct research and then
recommend action to the Senate
on many varied issues. Much of
what comes before the Senate
goes through at least one committee.
In an effort to acquaint you
with these committees, we will
feature one each week, giving a
brief sketch of what it does.
This week, the AssociatedStudent Senate Select Committee on
Establishing an Associated Students or "Split" Committee will
be featured.
The Split Committee has been
one of the most active committees
on the Student Senate this year.
Originally it did the work of both
the Legal and Split Committees;
however, in December a new and
separate Legal Committee was
formed to take over part of the
work load.
The committee, now responsible for •split" legal considerations only, has worked to draft
the many items necessary to
enable the split between the FSC
Association and the Associated
Students. The first article to be
drafted was CSUF's first •Asso. ciated Students" constitution. We
previously worked under an Articles of Incorporation, which
was unworkable. The committee
worked on the document from the
beginning of school until its approval last m_onth, taking over
where last year's Student Senate
left off. The Committee is currently finishing the new bylaws
and will soon begin revising the
Policy and Procedures Manual.
The chairperson of the committee is Melvin Gene Gibson;
other members areTriniAcosta,

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
California State University, Fresno
Ryan Act topic for tomorrow's workshop
The Ryan Act, the often controversial legislation enacted to
replace the Fisher Bill governing
the credentialing of teachers in
California, will be the topic at an
all-day workshop tomorrow in
the College Union Lounge.
The workshop is officially being sponsored by the Fresno Unified School District under its
Office of Human Relations and
Affirmative Action. That office's
support committee, which is
comprised of several community
members involved and interested
in teacher education is in charge
of the event.
The workshop will start at 8: 30
a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. The
support committee announced
that several members of the
Commission for Teacher Prep-
UFW Boycott Office sends
pickets against Fresno ·store
The recently opened United
Farm Workers of America will
go into action this weekend starting its "Boycott Gallor campaign
Saturday against Payless Market,
located at 1103 "E" St.
The picket line will be assembled in front of the Boycott
Office at 841 W. Belmont Ave.,
across from Roeding Park, at
12:30 p.m. where a caravan will
head towards the store after
owners had been approached and
asked to remove the anti-UFW
wines from their shelves, but
refused.
Ann Williamson, office director for the Fresno office, asked
that any persons who will join
the picketing call the office beforehand, if possible, to take any
supplies, such as signs and flags
to help. on the boycott line.
At the Wednesday night meeting
it was also announced that two
other West Fresno markets have
already agreed to remove the offensive vinos from their stores.
Other stores approached and
facing probable picketing include
Boys market which one member
commented was "very hard about
removing their stock of Gallo
wine."
Williamson said the office
would be willing to welcome any
donations in office supplies.
'Drug abuse
By Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Drug abuse is not a crime,
it's a sickness, said Democratic
Assemblyman Richard Alatorre
during a speech given to an estimated crowd of over 200 persons
in the Pinedale Community Center.
Alatorre was one of several
keynote speakers at a workshop
sponsored by the CSUF School of
Social Work Program Committee
on Monday in cooperation with the
Fresno County Health Department
•
IS • • •
and Substance Abuse Program.
The Assemblyman from East
Los Angeles spoke on the drug
and alcohol problems that are
faced by Chicanos throughout
California and the United States.
Alatorre said that he doesn't
believe that incarceration is the
answer to these problems faced
by the Chicano community. He
feels that people in general do
not want to recognize or come to
grips with the reality of the problem.
The young Chicano lawmaker
aration and Licensing will be
present to discuss the purpose,
intent, merits and limitations of
the Ryan Act.
Among the members of the support committee is CSUF senior
Ricardo Rodriguez, chairman of
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA.
Rodriguez said he hopes the
workshop will help to clarify
what he feels are some very
pertinent questions at CSUF. He
said C omite CHE has been struggling the last two semesters to
get the School of Education to
state what they are doing to conform to the Ryan Act guidelines.
A meeting of M.E C.H.A.
(M ovi miento Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlan) last semester featured
Dr. Dean Evans speaking on the
Ryan Act. But according to past
chairperson of CHE, Marian Rodriguez Powers, members ofCHE
and M ECHA "feel that the discussion only led to increased feelings
of frustration."
The Ryan Act, according to
some state department of education officials, has recognized the
need to afford student teachers
the experience of teaching minority as well as majority group
children. It requires a crosscultural experience during the
teacher, traintng period as a condition for certification.
It furthermore significantly altered the college course patterns
of all prospective California public, elementary and secondary
teachers who will complete credential requirements after Sept.
14, 1975. It differs from the previous bill by changing both academic and professional educational requirements.
The problem which CHE sees
at CSUF is the resistance, mainly from the soon-to-retire dean
of the School of Education, to
require more minority related
courses, said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he views the
crux to the solution of the problem is stated in the preamble to
the Ryan Act. It states:
"The Legislature, recognizing
the need for excellence in educa-
tion 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 encourage both high
standards and diversity."
·
•one has to keep in perspective that this institution has a
service area that is largely populated by Chic'a nos," said Rodriguez.' Thus, he said, the broad
guidelines which are referred to
by the preamble and which other
colleges and universities have
interpreted to include more minority related requirements, are
not being adhered to by the CSUF
school.
A spokesman for the committee
said that each of the many speak(Continued on Page 4, Col.: 1)

Although the subject matter
changed, the discussion seemed
to retain the audience's interest.
The first question posed to the
Assemblyman was one concerning the Pinto (an ex-offender
interested in continuing his education) and the Pinto program
now operating throughout the
state.
Alatorre responded by saying
that there is a bill in the working
that would prohibit the denial of
employment for an ex-offender
because he has a prison record.
He said that if we believe in what
we read in the books, that a person has paid his debt once he has
served time, then there would be
no reason for an employer to
look at his previous record.

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
PROMESA offers
bilingual education
PROMESA, the Spanish word
for promise, was the name chosen
by the Parent Advisory Committee for the Fresno Bilingual/
bicultural education program and
for their committee.
The program has been in existence for two years but was only
named a year ago, said Nancy
Arroyo, the Association ofMexican-American Educators' representative to PROMESA.
The name was influenced by the
then popular song, "Eres Tu" and
was voted the most popular and
significant of the unit's goal, said
Arroyo.
There are two bilingual/bicultural education programs currently operating in Fresno: the
Winchel Elementary School program and PROMESA. Arroyo cautioned that they are not one and
the same. The Winchell program
is federally funded while PRO. MESA is funded by the state.
Arroyo explained that the funds
received are used for training
teachers and for buying materials
for the program.
•we don't buy translated materials, our program is more
sophisticated than that," she said
proudly. "Our materials are either written in Mexico or are written here originally in Spanish."
Arroyo said that funding for
the future is sometimes doubtful,
but that they are hopeful of being
able to maintain the program at
least to the present level, because
there are already trained teachers and material available.
The program goals are to promote mutual understanding lnd
appreciation between cultures;
to reinforce language concepts
ln both English and Spanish; to
organize classrooms for bilingual/ bi cultural instructions; to
maintain and increase the Spanish-speaking child's knowledge
of Spanish, and to encourage bilingual/ bi cultural education
throughout the community.
Other goals of the program
are to select the best methods
and materials for bilingual instruction and to advise the school
district on the special needs of
bilingual children.
PROM ES A also provides a
guide, for parents visiting the
classrooms, on what to look for
in the bilingual class, said Arroyo.
She said the project's most
current undertaking is to seek
tl!e answer to the basic question,
"Is Spanish being supported and
maintained in the Fresno Area? "
To find out t he answer,
PROM ESA Is conducting a survey
and compiling a community directory which would consist of
one page on each of the MexicanAmerican community organ,zations and explaining what each
does .
The parent advisory committee is also sponsoring a series
of community lectures on bilingual/hlcultural education.
"We recently sponsored Dr.
Steinman, the attorney who won
the U.S. Supreme Court case of
Lau vs. Nichols , which deals
with the need for bilingual education," she said.
Arroyo said the purpose of the
lectures was to promote bilingual ~ducation in the Fresno
Area and she hopes to have at
least one per mcinth.

Cal Tjader wows them ,n Reedley
•
By Manuel Olgin
The Reedley Spring, Fes ti val
of Arts week was kicked off Monday night. April 14, by Mr. Jazz
himself - CalTjader.Tjaderand
his group perform ed two 50 minute sets in the Reedley College
cafeteria.
The planners of the Spring
Festival showed excellent taste
in selecting Tjader to perform
on their campus, and for this,
Fresno's growing-in-number
Latino-Jazz fans, thank them.
Tjader was accompanied to
Reedley by four musicians who
regularly make up his concert
group. All are experienced musicians who play well together in
crisp, tight. Tjader-led sets.
Each man was featured as a
soloist during the course of the
evening, pleasing the audience
with their individual runs.
Between sets, I had a chance
to speak with members of the
band and found them to be quite
friendly and willing to talk.
Bassist Ratzo E. Harris originally hails from Indianapolis,
Indiana. The friendly, joking Harris is the newest member of the
group, joining them four months
ago. The bassist, now from San
Francisco, plays stand-up bass
when he's with Tjader, but
switches over to the electric
bass when gigging with other
groups.
Dick Berk, the drummer, has
been drumming for 21 ye ars, five
of them with Tjader. His jazzy
spice with his quick runs and
excellent use of the ·cymbal,drew
il Umerous rounds of applause.
Frank Strazzerri, the piano
player . not only provided tempo
for the group, he treated the audience to a couple of his own
piano compositions in which he
melJowed the audience like a webweaving spider.
Unfortunately , I was unable to
meet the Conga player by name.
Still , he and Berk provided good
solid Latino-Jazz percussion that
kept the audience going to the beat
throughout the evening.
T jader, whether he played the
vibes, timbales, or percussion ,
was clearly the leader. The music
flowed to his leadership , it was
fine salsa.
Tjader and his group , having
performed for numerous United
Farm Worker benefits insupport
of the boycott on SCAB GALLO
WINES. related to the audience
with obvious ease.
In one particular instance,
Tjader was introducing the next
song, •Mongo Blue• written by
Mongo Santamaria, the great
Cuban congo player. when from
the crowd arose a round of recognitive applause. "He drinks Gallo
Wine," Tjader smiled.Instantly a
chorus of boos erupted from the
audience. Tjader then kidded

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN~3
Padre Lopez named pastor of West Fresno parish
BY Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Father Prudencio Martinez
came yearly to the town of Corona
and preached. His work with the
Spanish-speaking community was
testimony to the fact that a Mexican could become a priest.
•I saw the good he did for the
people," said Father Enrique
Abelardo Lopez, the newly named
pastor of St. Alphonsus Church.
"He was my image."
The Padre from the Roman
Catholic Parish in West Fresno
said it was this early childhood
remembrance that led him to seek
priesthood.
The 38-year-old priest comes
from a family of four boys and
two girls. Born and raised in
Corona, California, he spent his
early childhood in the labor
camps that surrounded his home
town.
His parents were born in Mexi-

Padre Lopez sees one of the
basic needs that man has is the
need for balance between the
change in reality and the need to
have a solid base to anchor one's
beliefs.
"I believe very strongly that
God reveals.himself to man .in
nature, in hfstorical events, and
in the variety of persons and cultures. Thus, I believe that we
must encourage people as individuals and people as groups to
establish strong self-identieies,
because God is infinite variety.
That variety is reflected in his
creations."
The Padre feels that we are
doing God a disservice by trying
to make people conform to one
pattern. Too many people mistake
conformity for unity, he said, and
unity comes from mutual respect
even when we might disagree in
philosophies.
Father Lopez spoke of his desire to be able to participate in
the formation ofa Christian community in which variety of expression is its characteristic
makeup. He spoke of this community being brought together by
a common faith which included
the love and respect of its members for one another.
The energetic and Idealistic
priest ended by saying that the
Church is always waiting for
the parish com muntty to express
their sentiments as to what they
would like to see coming out of
the Church. This, he said, would
make It possible to incorporate
the ideals of the people into the

Editor's Note - The Student
Senate has many committees
which conduct research and then
recommend action to the Senate
on many varied issues. Much of
what comes before the Senate
goes through at least one committee.
In an effort to acquaint you
with these committees, we will
feature one each week, giving a
brief sketch of what it does.
This week, the AssociatedStudent Senate Select Committee on
Establishing an Associated Students or "Split" Committee will
be featured.
The Split Committee has been
one of the most active committees
on the Student Senate this year.
Originally it did the work of both
the Legal and Split Committees;
however, in December a new and
separate Legal Committee was
formed to take over part of the
work load.
The committee, now responsible for •split" legal considerations only, has worked to draft
the many items necessary to
enable the split between the FSC
Association and the Associated
Students. The first article to be
drafted was CSUF's first •Asso. ciated Students" constitution. We
previously worked under an Articles of Incorporation, which
was unworkable. The committee
worked on the document from the
beginning of school until its approval last m_onth, taking over
where last year's Student Senate
left off. The Committee is currently finishing the new bylaws
and will soon begin revising the
Policy and Procedures Manual.
The chairperson of the committee is Melvin Gene Gibson;
other members areTriniAcosta,
Charlie Doe, Tony Herrera, Barbara Kissinger, Gary Lee and
David Nikssarian.

California State University, Fresno
Ryan Act topic for tomorrow's workshop
The Ryan Act, the often controversial legislation enacted to
replace the Fisher Bill governing
the credentialing of teachers in
California, will be the topic at an
all-day workshop tomorrow in
the College Union Lounge.
The workshop is officially being sponsored by the Fresno Unified School District under its
Office of Human Relations and
Affirmative Action. That office's
support committee, which is
comprised of several community
members involved and interested
in teacher education is in charge
of the event.
The workshop will start at 8: 30
a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. The
support committee announced
that several members of the
Commission for Teacher Prep-
UFW Boycott Office sends
pickets against Fresno ·store
The recently opened United
Farm Workers of America will
go into action this weekend starting its "Boycott Gallor campaign
Saturday against Payless Market,
located at 1103 "E" St.
The picket line will be assembled in front of the Boycott
Office at 841 W. Belmont Ave.,
across from Roeding Park, at
12:30 p.m. where a caravan will
head towards the store after
owners had been approached and
asked to remove the anti-UFW
wines from their shelves, but
refused.
Ann Williamson, office director for the Fresno office, asked
that any persons who will join
the picketing call the office beforehand, if possible, to take any
supplies, such as signs and flags
to help. on the boycott line.
At the Wednesday night meeting
it was also announced that two
other West Fresno markets have
already agreed to remove the offensive vinos from their stores.
Other stores approached and
facing probable picketing include
Boys market which one member
commented was "very hard about
removing their stock of Gallo
wine."
Williamson said the office
would be willing to welcome any
donations in office supplies.
'Drug abuse
By Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Drug abuse is not a crime,
it's a sickness, said Democratic
Assemblyman Richard Alatorre
during a speech given to an estimated crowd of over 200 persons
in the Pinedale Community Center.
Alatorre was one of several
keynote speakers at a workshop
sponsored by the CSUF School of
Social Work Program Committee
on Monday in cooperation with the
Fresno County Health Department
•
IS • • •
and Substance Abuse Program.
The Assemblyman from East
Los Angeles spoke on the drug
and alcohol problems that are
faced by Chicanos throughout
California and the United States.
Alatorre said that he doesn't
believe that incarceration is the
answer to these problems faced
by the Chicano community. He
feels that people in general do
not want to recognize or come to
grips with the reality of the problem.
The young Chicano lawmaker
aration and Licensing will be
present to discuss the purpose,
intent, merits and limitations of
the Ryan Act.
Among the members of the support committee is CSUF senior
Ricardo Rodriguez, chairman of
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA.
Rodriguez said he hopes the
workshop will help to clarify
what he feels are some very
pertinent questions at CSUF. He
said C omite CHE has been struggling the last two semesters to
get the School of Education to
state what they are doing to conform to the Ryan Act guidelines.
A meeting of M.E C.H.A.
(M ovi miento Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlan) last semester featured
Dr. Dean Evans speaking on the
Ryan Act. But according to past
chairperson of CHE, Marian Rodriguez Powers, members ofCHE
and M ECHA "feel that the discussion only led to increased feelings
of frustration."
The Ryan Act, according to
some state department of education officials, has recognized the
need to afford student teachers
the experience of teaching minority as well as majority group
children. It requires a crosscultural experience during the
teacher, traintng period as a condition for certification.
It furthermore significantly altered the college course patterns
of all prospective California public, elementary and secondary
teachers who will complete credential requirements after Sept.
14, 1975. It differs from the previous bill by changing both academic and professional educational requirements.
The problem which CHE sees
at CSUF is the resistance, mainly from the soon-to-retire dean
of the School of Education, to
require more minority related
courses, said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he views the
crux to the solution of the problem is stated in the preamble to
the Ryan Act. It states:
"The Legislature, recognizing
the need for excellence in educa-
tion 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 encourage both high
standards and diversity."
·
•one has to keep in perspective that this institution has a
service area that is largely populated by Chic'a nos," said Rodriguez.' Thus, he said, the broad
guidelines which are referred to
by the preamble and which other
colleges and universities have
interpreted to include more minority related requirements, are
not being adhered to by the CSUF
school.
A spokesman for the committee
said that each of the many speak(Continued on Page 4, Col.: 1)

Although the subject matter
changed, the discussion seemed
to retain the audience's interest.
The first question posed to the
Assemblyman was one concerning the Pinto (an ex-offender
interested in continuing his education) and the Pinto program
now operating throughout the
state.
Alatorre responded by saying
that there is a bill in the working
that would prohibit the denial of
employment for an ex-offender
because he has a prison record.
He said that if we believe in what
we read in the books, that a person has paid his debt once he has
served time, then there would be
no reason for an employer to
look at his previous record.

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
PROMESA offers
bilingual education
PROMESA, the Spanish word
for promise, was the name chosen
by the Parent Advisory Committee for the Fresno Bilingual/
bicultural education program and
for their committee.
The program has been in existence for two years but was only
named a year ago, said Nancy
Arroyo, the Association ofMexican-American Educators' representative to PROMESA.
The name was influenced by the
then popular song, "Eres Tu" and
was voted the most popular and
significant of the unit's goal, said
Arroyo.
There are two bilingual/bicultural education programs currently operating in Fresno: the
Winchel Elementary School program and PROMESA. Arroyo cautioned that they are not one and
the same. The Winchell program
is federally funded while PRO. MESA is funded by the state.
Arroyo explained that the funds
received are used for training
teachers and for buying materials
for the program.
•we don't buy translated materials, our program is more
sophisticated than that," she said
proudly. "Our materials are either written in Mexico or are written here originally in Spanish."
Arroyo said that funding for
the future is sometimes doubtful,
but that they are hopeful of being
able to maintain the program at
least to the present level, because
there are already trained teachers and material available.
The program goals are to promote mutual understanding lnd
appreciation between cultures;
to reinforce language concepts
ln both English and Spanish; to
organize classrooms for bilingual/ bi cultural instructions; to
maintain and increase the Spanish-speaking child's knowledge
of Spanish, and to encourage bilingual/ bi cultural education
throughout the community.
Other goals of the program
are to select the best methods
and materials for bilingual instruction and to advise the school
district on the special needs of
bilingual children.
PROM ES A also provides a
guide, for parents visiting the
classrooms, on what to look for
in the bilingual class, said Arroyo.
She said the project's most
current undertaking is to seek
tl!e answer to the basic question,
"Is Spanish being supported and
maintained in the Fresno Area? "
To find out t he answer,
PROM ESA Is conducting a survey
and compiling a community directory which would consist of
one page on each of the MexicanAmerican community organ,zations and explaining what each
does .
The parent advisory committee is also sponsoring a series
of community lectures on bilingual/hlcultural education.
"We recently sponsored Dr.
Steinman, the attorney who won
the U.S. Supreme Court case of
Lau vs. Nichols , which deals
with the need for bilingual education," she said.
Arroyo said the purpose of the
lectures was to promote bilingual ~ducation in the Fresno
Area and she hopes to have at
least one per mcinth.

Cal Tjader wows them ,n Reedley
•
By Manuel Olgin
The Reedley Spring, Fes ti val
of Arts week was kicked off Monday night. April 14, by Mr. Jazz
himself - CalTjader.Tjaderand
his group perform ed two 50 minute sets in the Reedley College
cafeteria.
The planners of the Spring
Festival showed excellent taste
in selecting Tjader to perform
on their campus, and for this,
Fresno's growing-in-number
Latino-Jazz fans, thank them.
Tjader was accompanied to
Reedley by four musicians who
regularly make up his concert
group. All are experienced musicians who play well together in
crisp, tight. Tjader-led sets.
Each man was featured as a
soloist during the course of the
evening, pleasing the audience
with their individual runs.
Between sets, I had a chance
to speak with members of the
band and found them to be quite
friendly and willing to talk.
Bassist Ratzo E. Harris originally hails from Indianapolis,
Indiana. The friendly, joking Harris is the newest member of the
group, joining them four months
ago. The bassist, now from San
Francisco, plays stand-up bass
when he's with Tjader, but
switches over to the electric
bass when gigging with other
groups.
Dick Berk, the drummer, has
been drumming for 21 ye ars, five
of them with Tjader. His jazzy
spice with his quick runs and
excellent use of the ·cymbal,drew
il Umerous rounds of applause.
Frank Strazzerri, the piano
player . not only provided tempo
for the group, he treated the audience to a couple of his own
piano compositions in which he
melJowed the audience like a webweaving spider.
Unfortunately , I was unable to
meet the Conga player by name.
Still , he and Berk provided good
solid Latino-Jazz percussion that
kept the audience going to the beat
throughout the evening.
T jader, whether he played the
vibes, timbales, or percussion ,
was clearly the leader. The music
flowed to his leadership , it was
fine salsa.
Tjader and his group , having
performed for numerous United
Farm Worker benefits insupport
of the boycott on SCAB GALLO
WINES. related to the audience
with obvious ease.
In one particular instance,
Tjader was introducing the next
song, •Mongo Blue• written by
Mongo Santamaria, the great
Cuban congo player. when from
the crowd arose a round of recognitive applause. "He drinks Gallo
Wine," Tjader smiled.Instantly a
chorus of boos erupted from the
audience. Tjader then kidded

Padre Lopez named pastor of West Fresno parish
BY Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Father Prudencio Martinez
came yearly to the town of Corona
and preached. His work with the
Spanish-speaking community was
testimony to the fact that a Mexican could become a priest.
•I saw the good he did for the
people," said Father Enrique
Abelardo Lopez, the newly named
pastor of St. Alphonsus Church.
"He was my image."
The Padre from the Roman
Catholic Parish in West Fresno
said it was this early childhood
remembrance that led him to seek
priesthood.
The 38-year-old priest comes
from a family of four boys and
two girls. Born and raised in
Corona, California, he spent his
early childhood in the labor
camps that surrounded his home
town.
His parents were born in Mexi-

Padre Lopez sees one of the
basic needs that man has is the
need for balance between the
change in reality and the need to
have a solid base to anchor one's
beliefs.
"I believe very strongly that
God reveals.himself to man .in
nature, in hfstorical events, and
in the variety of persons and cultures. Thus, I believe that we
must encourage people as individuals and people as groups to
establish strong self-identieies,
because God is infinite variety.
That variety is reflected in his
creations."
The Padre feels that we are
doing God a disservice by trying
to make people conform to one
pattern. Too many people mistake
conformity for unity, he said, and
unity comes from mutual respect
even when we might disagree in
philosophies.
Father Lopez spoke of his desire to be able to participate in
the formation ofa Christian community in which variety of expression is its characteristic
makeup. He spoke of this community being brought together by
a common faith which included
the love and respect of its members for one another.
The energetic and Idealistic
priest ended by saying that the
Church is always waiting for
the parish com muntty to express
their sentiments as to what they
would like to see coming out of
the Church. This, he said, would
make It possible to incorporate
the ideals of the people into the
total parish plans.

Editor's Note - The Student
Senate has many committees
which conduct research and then
recommend action to the Senate
on many varied issues. Much of
what comes before the Senate
goes through at least one committee.
In an effort to acquaint you
with these committees, we will
feature one each week, giving a
brief sketch of what it does.
This week, the AssociatedStudent Senate Select Committee on
Establishing an Associated Students or "Split" Committee will
be featured.
The Split Committee has been
one of the most active committees
on the Student Senate this year.
Originally it did the work of both
the Legal and Split Committees;
however, in December a new and
separate Legal Committee was
formed to take over part of the
work load.
The committee, now responsible for •split" legal considerations only, has worked to draft
the many items necessary to
enable the split between the FSC
Association and the Associated
Students. The first article to be
drafted was CSUF's first •Asso. ciated Students" constitution. We
previously worked under an Articles of Incorporation, which
was unworkable. The committee
worked on the document from the
beginning of school until its approval last m_onth, taking over
where last year's Student Senate
left off. The Committee is currently finishing the new bylaws
and will soon begin revising the
Policy and Procedures Manual.
The chairperson of the committee is Melvin Gene Gibson;
other members areTriniAcosta,
Charlie Doe, Tony Herrera, Barbara Kissinger, Gary Lee and
David Nikssarian.

California State University, Fresno
Ryan Act topic for tomorrow's workshop
The Ryan Act, the often controversial legislation enacted to
replace the Fisher Bill governing
the credentialing of teachers in
California, will be the topic at an
all-day workshop tomorrow in
the College Union Lounge.
The workshop is officially being sponsored by the Fresno Unified School District under its
Office of Human Relations and
Affirmative Action. That office's
support committee, which is
comprised of several community
members involved and interested
in teacher education is in charge
of the event.
The workshop will start at 8: 30
a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. The
support committee announced
that several members of the
Commission for Teacher Prep-
UFW Boycott Office sends
pickets against Fresno ·store
The recently opened United
Farm Workers of America will
go into action this weekend starting its "Boycott Gallor campaign
Saturday against Payless Market,
located at 1103 "E" St.
The picket line will be assembled in front of the Boycott
Office at 841 W. Belmont Ave.,
across from Roeding Park, at
12:30 p.m. where a caravan will
head towards the store after
owners had been approached and
asked to remove the anti-UFW
wines from their shelves, but
refused.
Ann Williamson, office director for the Fresno office, asked
that any persons who will join
the picketing call the office beforehand, if possible, to take any
supplies, such as signs and flags
to help. on the boycott line.
At the Wednesday night meeting
it was also announced that two
other West Fresno markets have
already agreed to remove the offensive vinos from their stores.
Other stores approached and
facing probable picketing include
Boys market which one member
commented was "very hard about
removing their stock of Gallo
wine."
Williamson said the office
would be willing to welcome any
donations in office supplies.
'Drug abuse
By Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Drug abuse is not a crime,
it's a sickness, said Democratic
Assemblyman Richard Alatorre
during a speech given to an estimated crowd of over 200 persons
in the Pinedale Community Center.
Alatorre was one of several
keynote speakers at a workshop
sponsored by the CSUF School of
Social Work Program Committee
on Monday in cooperation with the
Fresno County Health Department
•
IS • • •
and Substance Abuse Program.
The Assemblyman from East
Los Angeles spoke on the drug
and alcohol problems that are
faced by Chicanos throughout
California and the United States.
Alatorre said that he doesn't
believe that incarceration is the
answer to these problems faced
by the Chicano community. He
feels that people in general do
not want to recognize or come to
grips with the reality of the problem.
The young Chicano lawmaker
aration and Licensing will be
present to discuss the purpose,
intent, merits and limitations of
the Ryan Act.
Among the members of the support committee is CSUF senior
Ricardo Rodriguez, chairman of
Comite CHE (Chicanos in Education) of MECHA.
Rodriguez said he hopes the
workshop will help to clarify
what he feels are some very
pertinent questions at CSUF. He
said C omite CHE has been struggling the last two semesters to
get the School of Education to
state what they are doing to conform to the Ryan Act guidelines.
A meeting of M.E C.H.A.
(M ovi miento Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlan) last semester featured
Dr. Dean Evans speaking on the
Ryan Act. But according to past
chairperson of CHE, Marian Rodriguez Powers, members ofCHE
and M ECHA "feel that the discussion only led to increased feelings
of frustration."
The Ryan Act, according to
some state department of education officials, has recognized the
need to afford student teachers
the experience of teaching minority as well as majority group
children. It requires a crosscultural experience during the
teacher, traintng period as a condition for certification.
It furthermore significantly altered the college course patterns
of all prospective California public, elementary and secondary
teachers who will complete credential requirements after Sept.
14, 1975. It differs from the previous bill by changing both academic and professional educational requirements.
The problem which CHE sees
at CSUF is the resistance, mainly from the soon-to-retire dean
of the School of Education, to
require more minority related
courses, said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he views the
crux to the solution of the problem is stated in the preamble to
the Ryan Act. It states:
"The Legislature, recognizing
the need for excellence in educa-
tion 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 encourage both high
standards and diversity."
·
•one has to keep in perspective that this institution has a
service area that is largely populated by Chic'a nos," said Rodriguez.' Thus, he said, the broad
guidelines which are referred to
by the preamble and which other
colleges and universities have
interpreted to include more minority related requirements, are
not being adhered to by the CSUF
school.
A spokesman for the committee
said that each of the many speak(Continued on Page 4, Col.: 1)

Although the subject matter
changed, the discussion seemed
to retain the audience's interest.
The first question posed to the
Assemblyman was one concerning the Pinto (an ex-offender
interested in continuing his education) and the Pinto program
now operating throughout the
state.
Alatorre responded by saying
that there is a bill in the working
that would prohibit the denial of
employment for an ex-offender
because he has a prison record.
He said that if we believe in what
we read in the books, that a person has paid his debt once he has
served time, then there would be
no reason for an employer to
look at his previous record.

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
PROMESA offers
bilingual education
PROMESA, the Spanish word
for promise, was the name chosen
by the Parent Advisory Committee for the Fresno Bilingual/
bicultural education program and
for their committee.
The program has been in existence for two years but was only
named a year ago, said Nancy
Arroyo, the Association ofMexican-American Educators' representative to PROMESA.
The name was influenced by the
then popular song, "Eres Tu" and
was voted the most popular and
significant of the unit's goal, said
Arroyo.
There are two bilingual/bicultural education programs currently operating in Fresno: the
Winchel Elementary School program and PROMESA. Arroyo cautioned that they are not one and
the same. The Winchell program
is federally funded while PRO. MESA is funded by the state.
Arroyo explained that the funds
received are used for training
teachers and for buying materials
for the program.
•we don't buy translated materials, our program is more
sophisticated than that," she said
proudly. "Our materials are either written in Mexico or are written here originally in Spanish."
Arroyo said that funding for
the future is sometimes doubtful,
but that they are hopeful of being
able to maintain the program at
least to the present level, because
there are already trained teachers and material available.
The program goals are to promote mutual understanding lnd
appreciation between cultures;
to reinforce language concepts
ln both English and Spanish; to
organize classrooms for bilingual/ bi cultural instructions; to
maintain and increase the Spanish-speaking child's knowledge
of Spanish, and to encourage bilingual/ bi cultural education
throughout the community.
Other goals of the program
are to select the best methods
and materials for bilingual instruction and to advise the school
district on the special needs of
bilingual children.
PROM ES A also provides a
guide, for parents visiting the
classrooms, on what to look for
in the bilingual class, said Arroyo.
She said the project's most
current undertaking is to seek
tl!e answer to the basic question,
"Is Spanish being supported and
maintained in the Fresno Area? "
To find out t he answer,
PROM ESA Is conducting a survey
and compiling a community directory which would consist of
one page on each of the MexicanAmerican community organ,zations and explaining what each
does .
The parent advisory committee is also sponsoring a series
of community lectures on bilingual/hlcultural education.
"We recently sponsored Dr.
Steinman, the attorney who won
the U.S. Supreme Court case of
Lau vs. Nichols , which deals
with the need for bilingual education," she said.
Arroyo said the purpose of the
lectures was to promote bilingual ~ducation in the Fresno
Area and she hopes to have at
least one per mcinth.

Cal Tjader wows them ,n Reedley
•
By Manuel Olgin
The Reedley Spring, Fes ti val
of Arts week was kicked off Monday night. April 14, by Mr. Jazz
himself - CalTjader.Tjaderand
his group perform ed two 50 minute sets in the Reedley College
cafeteria.
The planners of the Spring
Festival showed excellent taste
in selecting Tjader to perform
on their campus, and for this,
Fresno's growing-in-number
Latino-Jazz fans, thank them.
Tjader was accompanied to
Reedley by four musicians who
regularly make up his concert
group. All are experienced musicians who play well together in
crisp, tight. Tjader-led sets.
Each man was featured as a
soloist during the course of the
evening, pleasing the audience
with their individual runs.
Between sets, I had a chance
to speak with members of the
band and found them to be quite
friendly and willing to talk.
Bassist Ratzo E. Harris originally hails from Indianapolis,
Indiana. The friendly, joking Harris is the newest member of the
group, joining them four months
ago. The bassist, now from San
Francisco, plays stand-up bass
when he's with Tjader, but
switches over to the electric
bass when gigging with other
groups.
Dick Berk, the drummer, has
been drumming for 21 ye ars, five
of them with Tjader. His jazzy
spice with his quick runs and
excellent use of the ·cymbal,drew
il Umerous rounds of applause.
Frank Strazzerri, the piano
player . not only provided tempo
for the group, he treated the audience to a couple of his own
piano compositions in which he
melJowed the audience like a webweaving spider.
Unfortunately , I was unable to
meet the Conga player by name.
Still , he and Berk provided good
solid Latino-Jazz percussion that
kept the audience going to the beat
throughout the evening.
T jader, whether he played the
vibes, timbales, or percussion ,
was clearly the leader. The music
flowed to his leadership , it was
fine salsa.
Tjader and his group , having
performed for numerous United
Farm Worker benefits insupport
of the boycott on SCAB GALLO
WINES. related to the audience
with obvious ease.
In one particular instance,
Tjader was introducing the next
song, •Mongo Blue• written by
Mongo Santamaria, the great
Cuban congo player. when from
the crowd arose a round of recognitive applause. "He drinks Gallo
Wine," Tjader smiled.Instantly a
chorus of boos erupted from the
audience. Tjader then kidded
through some apologetic gestures

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN~3
Padre Lopez named pastor of West Fresno parish
BY Ernesto Moreno
La Voz Staff Writer
Father Prudencio Martinez
came yearly to the town of Corona
and preached. His work with the
Spanish-speaking community was
testimony to the fact that a Mexican could become a priest.
•I saw the good he did for the
people," said Father Enrique
Abelardo Lopez, the newly named
pastor of St. Alphonsus Church.
"He was my image."
The Padre from the Roman
Catholic Parish in West Fresno
said it was this early childhood
remembrance that led him to seek
priesthood.
The 38-year-old priest comes
from a family of four boys and
two girls. Born and raised in
Corona, California, he spent his
early childhood in the labor
camps that surrounded his home
town.
His parents were born in Mexi-

Padre Lopez sees one of the
basic needs that man has is the
need for balance between the
change in reality and the need to
have a solid base to anchor one's
beliefs.
"I believe very strongly that
God reveals.himself to man .in
nature, in hfstorical events, and
in the variety of persons and cultures. Thus, I believe that we
must encourage people as individuals and people as groups to
establish strong self-identieies,
because God is infinite variety.
That variety is reflected in his
creations."
The Padre feels that we are
doing God a disservice by trying
to make people conform to one
pattern. Too many people mistake
conformity for unity, he said, and
unity comes from mutual respect
even when we might disagree in
philosophies.
Father Lopez spoke of his desire to be able to participate in
the formation ofa Christian community in which variety of expression is its characteristic
makeup. He spoke of this community being brought together by
a common faith which included
the love and respect of its members for one another.
The energetic and Idealistic
priest ended by saying that the
Church is always waiting for
the parish com muntty to express
their sentiments as to what they
would like to see coming out of
the Church. This, he said, would
make It possible to incorporate
the ideals of the people into the
total parish plans.

Editor's Note - The Student
Senate has many committees
which conduct research and then
recommend action to the Senate
on many varied issues. Much of
what comes before the Senate
goes through at least one committee.
In an effort to acquaint you
with these committees, we will
feature one each week, giving a
brief sketch of what it does.
This week, the AssociatedStudent Senate Select Committee on
Establishing an Associated Students or "Split" Committee will
be featured.
The Split Committee has been
one of the most active committees
on the Student Senate this year.
Originally it did the work of both
the Legal and Split Committees;
however, in December a new and
separate Legal Committee was
formed to take over part of the
work load.
The committee, now responsible for •split" legal considerations only, has worked to draft
the many items necessary to
enable the split between the FSC
Association and the Associated
Students. The first article to be
drafted was CSUF's first •Asso. ciated Students" constitution. We
previously worked under an Articles of Incorporation, which
was unworkable. The committee
worked on the document from the
beginning of school until its approval last m_onth, taking over
where last year's Student Senate
left off. The Committee is currently finishing the new bylaws
and will soon begin revising the
Policy and Procedures Manual.
The chairperson of the committee is Melvin Gene Gibson;
other members areTriniAcosta,
Charlie Doe, Tony Herrera, Barbara Kissinger, Gary Lee and
David Nikssarian.

EI e ct ion - week away
Student body elections will be
held next week, Wednesday and
Thursday, from.8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Polling booths will be located in
the free speech area, the San
Ramon area and in the area by
the social science building.
All students are encouraged to
get out and vote. The leaders you
choose will be working on finalizing the new constitution and the
association split . . • and they
will have more control than they
have ever had over the $300,000
you pay in student body fees in
a year's time.
Have a voice in those monies
and in what your leade.rs are
doing for you! And the best way
to begin that voice is to have a
say in who will continue to voice
your opinions through the best
representation next year.
