La Raza Studies professor
Teresa Perez seeks county seat
by Angie Rios
La Voz Staff Writer
After speaking in behalf of
many local political candidates,
CSUF La Raza Studies instructor .
Teresa Perez said she finally will
have to start speaking for herself.
Perez will be seeking the
Fresno County Board of Supervisors seat vacated by Munic1pal
Court Judge Armando Rodriguez
in the third supervisorial district.
Caught between classes in a
typical harried day of teaching
and campaign organizing, the
"fortyish" green-eyed Perez said
she decided to seek political office after having worked on several local campaigns.
-Perez has found speaking for
herself sometimes isn't as easy
as some people might think.
"It was always easier to sell
another candidate, now I feel I'm
bragging about myself when campaigning," she said.
But, after being involved in
the co~munity and working in
many campaigns, she said it just
seemed the "natural" thing was
to seek a decision making position
her. r.;lf.
"I i1ave to offer my experience,
my background. in people kinds of
things. I want to provide a funnel
0

for people oriented issues, things
which relate to the third district,"
she said_. helping a student with a
paper in La Raza Studies office.
Perez said enough women have
been _elected to political offices
that society no longer fears a
woman candidate.
14 Many of the women who now
hold office have shown they are
capable of doing a good job,"
said Perez. "I feel that because
of these attitudes . I must work
harder to prove myself at so
many levels, but this is not the
reason I am running for office."
Perez will open her campaign
headquarters within the next few
weeks. The committee structure
is se-t up to put the people to
work in a w_ide variety of areas,
she said, such as the · precinct
list, fund raising, voluntee·r s,
finance, and research committees.
Asked if she felt last May's
Chicano student protests would
hurt her campaign, Perez said
no, because, although it was a
controversial issue, it •cleared
up a lot of things and made people realize there is a need to
have more representation in the
decision making areas."
The mother of seven was involved in negotiating with the
administration concerning more
student participation in the de-

c1s1on making process on campus. She was representing La
Raza Studies.
Being the mother of seven, including _one college-aged girl attending CSUF, Perez said she
shouldn't find it too difficult to
help organize the campaign.
She said the family was reacting to her new ·role as candidate ,
"very well."
•M~nuel (her husband and
CSUF EOP director) is as active
on the campaign as myself, and
the kiqs are all very excited and
eager to get to work," she said.
The maximum · candidates are
allowed to ·spend is $15,000, said
Perez and there will be three
functions planned to help raise the
needed funds. Also, donations are
being-accepted.
•r feel donations make people
feel it is their campaign, they
have an invested interest. It
makes for a s~ronger campaign
because they want to see you
win," she said.
Since Dec. 9 is the date- for the
special elections, Perez said
there is very little time for executing any plans, everything is
going to have to be done rapidly.
Anyone interested in getting
involved in the campaign may get
in contact with Perez at La Raza
Studies office, San Ramon 4,
room 132.

Editorial
MECHA elections crucial
to vitali'ty of . Chicano cause
by Ernesto Moreno

Today and tomorrow Chicano
students will be electing various
students to serve as officers of
Movtmie.nto Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlan (MECHA).
When voting for these persons
to fill the various positions,
MECHA members should think
about what should be accomplished this year and more important, what are MECHA's future goals.
In the past MECHA has had
many good student leaders who
have helped in making MECHA
what it is today.
MECHA has been very import.ant to the Chicano student, it
has played a great part in helping the student achieve various
goals, that, at one time seemed
impossible to reach.
MECHA has been very instrumental in bringing about the implementation of many new and
worthwhile programs and projects.
MECHA is a means · for the
Chicano student on this campus
to assist and suggest to the administration of this campus what
can -and should be done to improve educational and cultural
opportunities for Chicanos.
Efforts by everyone involved
in MECHA have helped to improve the position of Chicano
students on this campus and many
other campuses throughout the
state.
So it is imperative that when
elections are held to select
MECHA officers, that votes be
cast for persons who will give
his or her best efforts to further
the cause of all Chicano students
on this campus.

. MEETINGS
Chicanos in Education (CHE)
will have its first meeting of the
year today at noon in the College
Union Lounge.
The Ex-offender Community
Resource Association will have

It would be very wise to select
someone who has had experience
in dealing with the administration
and with student representatives
of this campus.
·
A person who has worked on
behalf of all Chicano students in
the past and who will continue to
work for all Chicano students
in the future.
It is also important that needs
of the future are not neglected.
The time is now that Chicano
students should become involved
with the decision making that effects them all.
Our inexperience in the past
has taken its toll. The lack of
decision making and involvement
on the part of the Chicano student has been more than evident.
Present and past administrations have taken advantage of
Chicano inexperience. They have
dealt with issues in a manner
that not only has insulted theChi·cano as a student but also as a
person.
Ii ls with this in mind that a
realization of total involvement
of all Chicano students is a
necessity. Chicano students
should take warning from past
experiences and work towards
becoming more informed and experienced.
It is hoped that when ballots
are cast, that time is taken to
consider all persons seeking
M ECHA offices. It would be wise
to select inexperienced students
to work along with students who
are experienced in dealing with
the administration, and other
areas of importance that may
affect all Chicano students on
this campus.

Another section of the community has also paid tribute to
Mosqueda. Tehipite Junior High
School has a Mexican dance
group named after Mosqueda.
The group had been practicing
for a couple of months, but they
didn't have a name, said Raul
Macias, director of the dance
group.
"Someone remembered that
soon after Mosqueda' s death
there had been an effort on the
part of a Chicano community
group, to rename Tehipte Junior
High School after the slain police
officer. The idea was rejected
by the Fresno County Board of
Supervisors." said Macias.
•There aren't many Chicanos
whose names are remembered generally after they're dead,
they're, dead. We wanted to keep
the name alive," said Macias.
•The students decided to do so

Nikssarian attacks editorial
by Tom Ruppel

College Union Vice-President David Nikssarian has attacked
an editorial in the Sept. 17 issue of The Daily Collegian that
called for his and Legislative Vice-President Susan Good's ·
resignations.
He said in a Daily Collegian interview that the edito_!ial,
written by Editor Bob Cuddy, was •out of order and uncalled
for."
"It's obvious the editor of the Collegian isn't seeking a
neutral staqd by writing this article," said Nikssarian.
· He advised The Daily Collegia.n._to remain neutral on issues
as controversial as the removal of two of the top three student
body officers at CSUF because the paper ls funded by student
fees.
The platform of The Daily Collegian states in part that
opinions expressed in the paper are not necessarily those of
the CSUF student body.
DIStiUSTED

Referring to the reading aloud of the Collegian editorial by
Senator David Davenport' at last Wednesday's Student Senate
meeting, Mikssarian said "a lot of people were pretty disgusted
with the reading."
·
"We feel the senators are intelligent enough to distinguish
between right and wrong," he said, •and it's obvious what Bob
Cu~dy wrote was wrong."
Cuddy replied that •the Collegian will continue to take stands
on matters it feels are important to the student population.
"The student newspaper has not relinquished freedom of
expression merely because it is funded by student body
money. Nikssarian's notion that the government should control the press may go over 'in the USSR, but it doesn't hold
in the U.S.," he said.
·
"If he (Nikssarian) or anyone else disagrees with the content
of an editorial, the news and editorial columns of this paper

DAVID NIKSSARIAN

are open to them," Cuddy said.
Nikssarian, a 20-year-old junior majoring in political science
and pre-law, frequently used •we" in referring to his views
about issues before .student government. He explained the •we"
as meaning him self, Good and Associated Students President
David Price III.
"The stands that we take are uniform," said Nikssarian, •a
reS"Ql-t of consideration by all three executive officers."
Nikssarian refused to speculate whether Price would resign
.f he and Good were removed from office.
·
PRICE VETO

At issue ls · an attempt by the senate to remove Nikssarian
and Good from office because some senators feel the two wer6·
illegally appointed to their posts this summer.
A vote to remove the two vice-presidents wa~ approved by
the senate, but vetoed by Price. A group of senators led by
Davenport is planning -to try to override the veto with a twothirds senate vote.
Nikssarian said he is confident the move to oust him and
Good from their seats will fail.
•The entire resolution is illegal," he said.
He described Davenport, the resolution's author, as 11 gtfted
with the ability to manipulate."
"It's a shame that people like David Davenport have been
able to manipulate the senate the way they did," said Nikssarian.
He said he thinks the senate acted hastily upon Davenport's
resolution and that after more lengthy consideration of the
matter the senators would sustain Price's veto.
SALARIES WITHHELD

The Davenport resolution also directed Tom McGonagill,
associated students business manager, to withhold t_he salaries

What do-es 'President's pleasure' mean?
by Sharon McBride

Guidelines governing removal of department heads may soon be decided
by the CSUF Academic Senate, but it
may lurn into a sticky legal situation
says Dr. Vivian Vidoli, new chairman
of the Senate.
The main point of contention seems
to be the policy of "serving at the
pleasure of the president" and ttre three
year term of chairmanship recommended in the faculty handbook, she
said.
•1t 1 s not an easy task. We have to
look into the legal picture and get a
legal definition for this conflict," said
Vidoli.
The geography depa.rtment . at CSUF
has filed a petition with the Academic

Senate calling for policies to be established in regard to the duties, responsibilities and regulations concerning
department chairmen.
·
This petition came after Chester
Cole, past geography chairman, was
relieved of his duties last sum mer
after 13 years of service.
The petition ha~ been turned over to
the personnel committee of the Senate.
INTERESTINti

•what's really interesting about this,
is that about a year ago, Dr. Baxter
actually initiated a query into the
whole thing," said Vidoli.
It was then turned over to the personnel committee, and although some
of their recommendations came up for

Bikes in odd places
pose hazard
to handicapped
\

Several handicapped students
have narrowly escaped injury in
the first weeks of school .when
their wheelchairs were upset by
illegally parked bicycles.
Weldon Percy, student coor. dinator of Veterans and Handicapped Student Services, said
handlebars and pedals sticking
into wheelchair ramps from illegally parked bikes were the cause
of the accidents. So far no injuries have been reported.
Bikes parked in odd· places are
alsc., a hazard to blind students.
•A cane isn't infallible for
locating objects," said Percy.

Campus safety offic'er Ed
Roddy has asked university police to issue citations for illegal
bike parking. The citation will
serve as a warning. No fine will
be assessed.
"Right now we don't have
enough bike racks," satd Roddy.
He said that when winter rains
come the number of bicycle
riders will drop and more racks
will be available.
Meanwhile, Roddy has requested bi~ycle riders on campus
to show' consideration for their
fellow students who are handicapped and to park bikes in designated areas when possible.

a vote, nothing was resolved.
•A year ago, it was a more general
recommendation, but now we have an
all encompassing guideline to go by,"
continued Vidoli.
She further explained that the faculty
handbook outlines how a department
chairman is selected but does not provide for reassignment, evaluation or
consultation with other faculty members.
•How would you like to take a posi- ·
tion but have no idea what will happen
after that?" asked Vldoli.
FIRST CONCERN

•1 think our first concern here should
be the educational plan the department
offers," she said.

•And we, the faculty, should be consulted about the chairman's appointment, and we should be able to evaluate
him," she added.
Vidoli explained that if a chairman
was appointed to a department solely
at ·the president's pleasure, he might
be hard to work with and the faculty
s~ould be permitted some course of
action.
According to the minutes of a Sept.
11 statewide Academic Senate meeting,
serving at the pleasure of the president
and maintaining_ a three year term ls
not impossible and is a normal academic practice.

Fiscal problems:
reforms needed
Major reforms may be needed
to ·keep institutions of higher
education financially fit, according to the Carnegie Commission
on Higher Education.
In the 1960's, according to official statistics, state support of
a student at CSUF rose from
$1,007 to $1,624. This year the
cost stands at $2,260, and is expected to go higher, according
to a report issued by the Office
of the Vice President of Academic Affairs at CSUF.
•concerns will rise over the
urban crisis, pollution, equality
of opportunity. These concerns
will generate demands for new
programs, new courses, new degrees," says the report. To meet
these needs, yet keep costs down,
the report presents ideas from
the · Carnegie Commission as
"possible options for a public
university." These options would:
-Incorporate the last year of
high school into the first year of
college or the first year of college into the last year of high
school.
-Shift to a three year bachelor

question
person

of arts degree.
-Give credit by examination
for work done outside the classroom.
-Integrate bachelor's and
master's programs.
-Develop new types of master's programs that will improve
preparation for teaching in 'Colleges.
A present drain on college
budgets, says the , report,. is a
high drop-out rate.
•some observers claim as
many as 60 per cent of students
entering institutions of higher
education do not graduate," the
report says. It lists the Com. mission recommendation that
•colleges and universities discourage poorly motivated students from entering and from
continuing once they have entered."
Other Carnegie Commission
recommendations cited in the
report call for the hetter use of
faculty time, the allowing of
more flexibility in hudgets, and
that awards he given to employees who propose suc:cessful
money saving ideas.

Tuesday, S~ptember 23, 1975

SPDRT-TA·L Kb.y Rich a rd Pestorich
The debate is still continuin~ over which Bay Area baseball club
should move, the San Francisco Giants or the Oakland Athletics.
It seems that many people want the A's to move and leave the
Giants to entertain Bay Area fans. The three-time world champion
A's are on their way to a record (for them) attendance mark, but
it will be only slightly over one million for the year as compared to
over two million attendance for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The
attendance, nonetheless, is almost double that of the Giants.
The Giants were rumored to have been sold to a Japan-based firm
in early September, but the deal fell through. It seems that the prospective owners must have seen what a lemon they would be picking
up.
On the other side of the Bay, the current rumors are that owner
Charles o. Finley would like to move the A's franchise to Chicago
to replace the White Sox squad. This could only be accomplished after
much shuffling of the American league, with some team going to
Seattle. It has been estimated that the A's could draw two million
fans a year in Chicago.
Finley claims he has made money every season he has heen in
Oakland, while San Francisco has seen its profits cut deeply hy the
entrance of the winning A's to the area.
What ts the big deal over the Giants staying and the A's leaving?
Stupid trades have turned the Giants from a group of also-rans with
older stars to also-rans with young players. The results are the
same, only the payroll (and attendance) ls down.
As it is now, Bay fans have a choice. If th~y want to see a good
team like Cincinnati, they can go to Candlestick and soak up the sun
while the Reds pound the Giants. H they want to see the world
champs and some of the fi_nest players in the American league,
Oakland is just minutes away.
Let both clubs stay. When the situation changes and the Giants improve and the A's fade, the money will even out.

Runners compete in . meet
The Bulldog cross country
team had its first chance to
run as a group in a racing situation Saturday in the Fresno Pacific All-Comers Four Mile Race

their score attempts were deflected by Bronco goalie Joe

There was plenty of action in

The 'Dogs generated what offense they could, finding it difficult to penetrate the Santa Clara

Garrett tabbed
of .the week by
by Robert Hanashiro

Senior Mark Garrett has been
honored by the San Joaquin Valley
Spprtswriters and Sportscasters
Association as University division athlete of the week for his
18 goal performance in last weekend's CSUF Water Polo Invitational Tournament.
Garrett, one of only three returning- veterans on this year's
team, seems to have picked up
where he left off last year as
Fresno's leading scorer.
Garrett·s fine performance was
overshadowed, though, as Fresno
dropped two games out of three
over the weekend tourney. Cal

their games went home with first
place honors.
Garrett seemed to be the only
spark in the Bulldog offense,
scoring three clutch goals in the
closing minutes of the game
against CSLA before losing the
seesaw battle 12 to 11. Garrett
also kept Fresno close in their
final game with Hayward, scoring
several key goals sending that
match into double overtime. This
performance was also for naught,
as the waterdogs lost 10-9.

Co mites offer
Chicanos chance
to contribute
by Tom Uribes
"Nosotros venceremos (we will
win) en '75 , " says Juan Perez,
chairperson of MECHA 's UFW
Student Support Committee, one
of various MECHA committees
for which Chicano membership is
being sought this week.
Although Perez refers specifically to the current farm labor
events his comment reflects the
sentim,ent of CSU F's campus Chicano student leaders as committees of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan get its
1975-76 school year under way.
There are presently seven
standing committ~es and two ad
hoc committees, according to
Frank Riojas, who presided over
the club last fall. These are expected to be filled once officer
elections are completed today
and tomorrow.
Third year member Helen Gonzalez, who is seeking the MECHA
vice-presidency along with Luis
Ambriz, said, "Hopefully, there
is a wide variety of committees
to give people a choice as to what
they want to get involved in,
whether it is Chicano related or
not.
"Some people have the impression that we're on a militant trip.
This is not true," said Gonzalez.
She ·said M EC HA, with its committees, can be informational.
Chicanos can meet with and offer
each other assistance in their
classes, Or MECHA can also be
utilized as a •grievance ground,"
a place to seek action on complaints or appraisals.
Committee memberships are
comprised of those MECHA
members who volunteer to serve.
Although committee participation
is not mandatory, the committees
are essentially what make up the
organization of MECHA. However, non-committee students
may attend regular general sessions of MECHA as a means of
keeping in touch with and informed of the CSUF Chicano student activities.
COMITES
UFW - Presently, the farm
workers committee is engaged
as the liveliest committee with
the farm labor elections that are
being conducted throughout the
state's agricultural areas.
Members of the committee are
presently assisting in completing
much of the paper work as well
as recruiting student volunteers
for the cause.
Perez said that last year the
primary purpose of the committee was to educate the student
body and the corn~unity about the
UFW sponsored boycott of Gallo
wines, and non-UFW grapes and
lettuce.
They keep in constant communication with the UFW headquarters in La Paz, said Perez.
•Last year we proved our-

selves effective," said Perez,
"and this year, because of the
new California Farm Labor Law,
the struggle must and will continue.
"There remains a great deal
of work to be done," he continued.
"As students, we can direct participation at a time which will
test the strength of all who work
with the UFW movement."
The time and location of the
committee's first rneetingwillbe
announced at the next MECHA
meeting, Thursday.
SEMANA DE LA RAZA-Chairperson Margaret Esparza says
that Chicanos interested in working on the festivities during the
week of Cinco de Mayo (May 15) may meet Thursday at 5 p.m.
in College Union room 310.
The committee plans events for
Cinco de Mayo observances both
on and off campus and is con-:.
sid!?red with high priority in
MECHA.
Esparza said that anyone interested in contributing to Semana with their efforts and new
ideas for the celebration of the
Mexican independence from
France should be willing to do
some work.
CHICANO YOUTH CONFERENCE - "Our purpose is to inform Chicano high school students
of the opportunities available to
them at college," said 1974 chairperson Anna Noriega.
This goal is chiefly pursued
with a conference the first week
in December at which time various workshops are held on the
CSUF campus such as EOP, La
Raza Studies, Chicano Culture,
La Chicana, Drug Abuse, and
United Farm Workers, she said.
Noriega says that the effort
is aimed at making certain' high
school Chicano students are
aware of all available to them,
if they know where, when and how
to obtain it.
The com rnittee must draft a
proposal and submit a request
of funds. Other subsequent steps
include making contacts in the
various high schools.
Noriega said people will be
needed to organize and direct
each workshop. The first meeting
will be announced soon.
POLITICAL COMMITTEE This MECHA committee is designed to promote and stimulate
Chicano political involvement and
concerns, chiefly within the campus political bodies.
Presently there are three student senators from MECHA who
are actively involved in Senate
committees and board affairs.
They are Luis Ambriz, Angie
Rios and Richard Carillo.
