El Teatro Campesino
brings end of the world
by Margaret Esparza
El Teatro Campesino, the farm
workers' theater which originated
In Delano 10 years ago, will perform •EI Fin De!Mundo"(theend
of the world) at 8 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 9, 1975 in the College Union
Lounge here on the CSUF campus,
EL TEATRO CAMPESINO
The play is a political drama
about a ritualistic celebration of
the end of the world. With Indian
style dances and music, the play
presents the Campesino-Indio
point of view of man's successes
and failures in dealing with himself and the creator on a spiritual
as well as political level.
Luis Valdez, director of the
group and writer of the play, said
the work will trace the life, death
and rebirth of a poor farmer with
cosmic implications.
Although much of the play is
in Spanish, switches are made
into English often for the nonSpanish speaker'S.
The Teatro has performed previously on the CSUF campus and
the audience turnout has been
very receptive. The Thursday
ni~ht performance will be sponsored by the College Union Program Committee.
El Teatro Campesino ls part of
an explosion - it is taking from
the old and creating the new.
It is putting all the joys, sorrows, history and culture of La
Raza on stage to be examined,
to be remade and passed on to
others.
It offers some answers; that
things don •t have to be this way.
It does this in its own form and
style, known as the "Acto."
This is the simplest way to
say "come see what you're doing
to me, come see what I have to
offer."
Actos deal with almost every
aspect of Chicano life and death.
They are created by Chicanos
with an urgency to be heard.
Unfortunately, few actos have
been written and published - El
Teatro Campesino has started to
keep record of as many of these
actos as possible.
As a part of El CentroCampesino Cultural, a non-profit cultural organization, the teatro also
distributes films, publishes Chicano literature and produces its
own music,
Those of you who desire a
better understanding of Chicano
theater should attend this rare
performance by the original
Chicano Teatro, "El TeatroCampesino."

Assemblyman holds child
•
services
hearing •1n Pinedale '
A hearing to examine a plan
under consideration by the California Assembly to consolidate
services for children was held
Monday in Pinedale.
Assemblyman Art Torres (DEast Los Angeles) and the committee he chairs. the Subcommittee on Children and Parent
Services, considered testimony
from approximately 35 Fresno
County citizens on the proposal
which will be embodied in Assembly Bill 421 by Assemblyman
Leon Ralph .
The proposal would facilitate
the acc essibility of all services
to children and their families
by using a "one-stop~ approach,
providing a single system of state
and count~· departments of children and parents· services in one
geographically accessible loca-
tion for all services needed,
Another important feature is a
provision that enables one professional to assist in obtaining
all services a child requires and
to follow the progress through
until the need no longer exists.
Leo Zavala, Community Services Representative for Housir,g
Authorities in Pinedale, said that
among the positive aspects of the
proposal is that more attention
would b~ given to the rural areas
of the county. Presently, families
desiring the child services must
come into Fresno. He said that
if passed, the proposal would provide branch offices in rural areas
as well.
Child service programs would
include:
-In own-home care (including
family life education, home main-
tenance advising, child development counseling, , family crisis
consultation, supportive and sustaining counseling, and provision
of auxiliary parenting personnel).
-Child day care.
-Twenty-four hour foster
care.
-Protective child care.
-Child adoptions and guardianship service.
-Child care regulatory administration.
-Child advocacy,

Mini-Corpspersons question migrant-ed program practices
by Anna ::-loriega
To provide a "real" teaching
experience for the prospective
teacher involved in the education
of migrant children is the objective of the Mini-Corps program.
It's a good theory.
But according to some Chicano
educators and some participants
of the program the theory is not
the practice.
Thr, Mini-Corpspersons (students interested in the field of
education) are placed in the
schools to put into practice what
they have learned in the classroom,
But according to Armando
Perez, CSUF junior and participant in the program, this was not
the case in Ora Loma (a school
outside of Firebaugh),
"One of the Mini-Corpspersons
at Ora Loma had a lot of trouble
with her master teacher. She
(the master teacher) felt threatened, She wouldn't let the MiniCorpsperson do her lesson plans,
she even accused her of trying
to take over," said Perez.
"The school is 99 per cent
migrant, year-round; we had to be
careful because Mini-Corps didn't want to lose that school for
the following year," continued
Perez.
This is just one example of the
pressure that Mlni-Corpspersons
are subjected to,
According to Irene Palacios
the program was •au right, but
the migrant program in Madera
is not very good."
•1 think they should be more
select! ve in their staff, getting
people who want to work with
migrants instead of just hiring
people to work. I think the staff
and teachers are just there to get
paid and that's it. Their only
interest is the money, they do as
little as they can get away with,
just enough to please certain people (program directors)," said
Ms.• Palacios.
"The school I was stationed at
was pretty good, I got to run my
own classroom, I had the feeling
of being a teacher," said Miguel
Contreras, 1974 Mini-Corpsperson stationed in the town of San
Joaquin.
•we stayed in the labor camp
in Raisin City with the MiniCorpspersons from Raisin City.
We had a close relationship With
the migrants in the camp, they
treated us as professionals,"
said Contreras.
According to Contreras the
Mini-Corpspersons who were
placed in Raisin City School didn't have it as good as he did.
"They had a lot of hassles
from their administration and
teachers,"

Editor:
•should La Chicana go into the
health profession?" is the question that is asked by many Mexican American women today.
The reason for asking this
question is that in the past the
Chicanas were the ones who
cooked food, made clothing, and
cared for the sick and the young.
But today La Chicana is finding
that she can do other things which
are beneficial to her family and
her culture.
Some of the factors that are
contributing to La Chicana's way
of thinking are education, awareness of the outside world, and the
equal opportunities for women.
La Chicana is needed in the
health professions because of two
factors: (1) the lack of health
professionals, and (2) the lack of
women in the health field, By
being a health professional (doctor, dentist, pharmacist, nurse,
etc.) she will be able to cope
better with the problems of La
Raza.
La Chicana can also cope better with her own people (La
Raza) because she speaks Spanish and understands their lifestyles and customs.
Being a Chicana, La Raza is
more apt to go to her for medical
nelp or advice than to an anglo
health professional who doesn't
speak the~r language or understand their customs.
Sqe is also able to understand

women's medical problems,
which her patients are more
willing to confide in her. The
Chicana health professional tends
to cope with problems of children
more easily than a male professional because she portrays a
motherly image whirh puts the
child more at ease.
Thus the advantage of a Chicana health professional is that
better care is given to mothers
and children.
The Chicana in a health profession acts as an incentive to
motivate other Chicanas into the
health profession careers. Sheis
also an asset to her community
in that she can get ·involved
politically - another way she is
able to help La Raza.
As a health professional La
Chicana is given the opportunity
to sit on health professional
boards that deal with new drugs
and policies that pertain to women. She is given the chance to
express her feelings and professional judgment about these
new drugs and poli cies.
La Chicana as a health professional is a much needed person
to La Ra:r:a, She is not only able
to give her people better medical
care but she is also able to serve
her people in a political aspect,
By being a professional, she is
also an example to other Chicanas who want to make something of themselves.

Known as Los Companeros, the
group includes two CSUF Chicanos, Gary · Tellez and Jess

Bishop Roger Mahoney, presently chairman of the state Agriculture Labor Relations Board,

In December 1974, Los Companeros began their first mural

which was completed in May of
this year. It depicted a symbolic
cultural effort.
Unique among the artists'
methods ls the engaging of the

THE RISING COST a= A MEDICAL EDUCATION.
Like most things, the cost of

medical students
that cost represents a heavy

It needn't be
that way. The
Armed Forces
Health Professions
Scholarship Program
was originated to
free you from those
worries. Men and
women who qualify
will have the costs of
their medical education covered, and
will also receive a
substantial monthly
allowance.
The program offers
more than tuition and
salary; it offers you the
opportunity to begin
your practice under very
favorable conditions. As a health care officer in
the military branch of your choice, you'll find
yourself with responsibilities fully in keeping with
your training, and with the time and opportunity to
observe a full spectrum of medical specialties.
'Nhen you decide on the specially you wish to
pursue. you may find yourself taking those
graduate medical studies at one of our many
large and modern medical centers. If so, you can
count on that training being second to none.

Situdents will tour with Mini-Corps Teatro
by Tom Uribes
Three CSUF Chicanos will participate in stressing the needs of
migrant children to educators
across the nation when the MiniCorps Teatro begins a four-stop
national tour this weekend.
David Gonzales ofSanger,Juan
Espinosa of Parlier, andYolanda
Vasquez of Fireb;mgh, are among
the six-member cast that will
fly to San Francisco, San Antonio,
o.. nas and Washington D.C., for
one week in an effort to show why
Mini-Corps should be instituted
in other states.
A part of the Caltfornia Migrant Education Program, MiniCorps consists of college students who are familiar with the
migrant family lifestyle and are
aiming towards a career in teaching. It provides them with summer jobs for Jinancial assistance
during the school year.
Their main goal is to help the
migrant child who is often hampered In the school systems because they change schools as
their family follows the seasonal
harvests, and the lack of understanding from school personnel
for this educational disruption,
said Gonzalez.
The dramatization, a four-part
original play written and scored
by the six students collect! vely,
conveys this situation which the
migrant child faces in America's
public schools.
"The story is our lives," says
Gonzalez. "It's what we went
through when we were kids. Our
teacher told us we couldn't read
because we were handicapped by
moving from school to school.
•Now, as a Mini-Corpsperson

migrant child, look at me. You

elaborated generally on the
storyline which is entitled •Eva•s
Story."
It depicts a Chicana who elevated herself from a migrant
student to a teacher, said Wagner.
Blending Spanish and English, it
shows the language communication problem between teacher and
student, the role the Mini-Corpsperson pla ys in that proble m, and
the feelings of the child. The four
parts portray the cla s s r oo m, the
fields, and the labor camp.
Wagner said that the reception
of Teatro• s presentation was
"really effective , people were
moved."
Following the performance, she
added, the NEA unanimously
adopted a resolution that every
state have a Mini-Corps. However, it was only a resolution and
that concrete action, as far as
she knows, has yet to be taken.

One naturally may ask, "How
can Chicanos be suffering so
much or any differently in our
modern technological society?"
The answer to these questions
and others are of great concern
to NCIIO members.

Since California is the only
state whose migrant program
functions with such a studentaide program, the Teatro intends
to. show the effect! veness of the
older students relating to the
younger ones, says the Teatro's
director Kay Wagner.
•The other states should be
aware that something can be
done,• she said. She explained
that other states receive funds
for migrant education .
Wagner decided on a dramatization approach when she was
asked to prepare a presentation
to relay this message to the National Educators Convention this
past summer in Los Angeles.

El Teatro Campesino
brings end of the world
by Margaret Esparza
El Teatro Campesino, the farm
workers' theater which originated
In Delano 10 years ago, will perform •EI Fin De!Mundo"(theend
of the world) at 8 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 9, 1975 in the College Union
Lounge here on the CSUF campus,
EL TEATRO CAMPESINO
The play is a political drama
about a ritualistic celebration of
the end of the world. With Indian
style dances and music, the play
presents the Campesino-Indio
point of view of man's successes
and failures in dealing with himself and the creator on a spiritual
as well as political level.
Luis Valdez, director of the
group and writer of the play, said
the work will trace the life, death
and rebirth of a poor farmer with
cosmic implications.
Although much of the play is
in Spanish, switches are made
into English often for the nonSpanish speaker'S.
The Teatro has performed previously on the CSUF campus and
the audience turnout has been
very receptive. The Thursday
ni~ht performance will be sponsored by the College Union Program Committee.
El Teatro Campesino ls part of
an explosion - it is taking from
the old and creating the new.
It is putting all the joys, sorrows, history and culture of La
Raza on stage to be examined,
to be remade and passed on to
others.
It offers some answers; that
things don •t have to be this way.
It does this in its own form and
style, known as the "Acto."
This is the simplest way to
say "come see what you're doing
to me, come see what I have to
offer."
Actos deal with almost every
aspect of Chicano life and death.
They are created by Chicanos
with an urgency to be heard.
Unfortunately, few actos have
been written and published - El
Teatro Campesino has started to
keep record of as many of these
actos as possible.
As a part of El CentroCampesino Cultural, a non-profit cultural organization, the teatro also
distributes films, publishes Chicano literature and produces its
own music,
Those of you who desire a
better understanding of Chicano
theater should attend this rare
performance by the original
Chicano Teatro, "El TeatroCampesino."

•
services
hearing •1n Pinedale '
A hearing to examine a plan
under consideration by the California Assembly to consolidate
services for children was held
Monday in Pinedale.
Assemblyman Art Torres (DEast Los Angeles) and the committee he chairs. the Subcommittee on Children and Parent
Services, considered testimony
from approximately 35 Fresno
County citizens on the proposal
which will be embodied in Assembly Bill 421 by Assemblyman
Leon Ralph .
The proposal would facilitate
the acc essibility of all services
to children and their families
by using a "one-stop~ approach,
providing a single system of state
and count~· departments of children and parents· services in one
geographically accessible loca-
tion for all services needed,
Another important feature is a
provision that enables one professional to assist in obtaining
all services a child requires and
to follow the progress through
until the need no longer exists.
Leo Zavala, Community Services Representative for Housir,g
Authorities in Pinedale, said that
among the positive aspects of the
proposal is that more attention
would b~ given to the rural areas
of the county. Presently, families
desiring the child services must
come into Fresno. He said that
if passed, the proposal would provide branch offices in rural areas
as well.
Child service programs would
include:
-In own-home care (including
family life education, home main-
tenance advising, child development counseling, , family crisis
consultation, supportive and sustaining counseling, and provision
of auxiliary parenting personnel).
-Child day care.
-Twenty-four hour foster
care.
-Protective child care.
-Child adoptions and guardianship service.
-Child care regulatory administration.
-Child advocacy,

Mini-Corpspersons question migrant-ed program practices
by Anna ::-loriega
To provide a "real" teaching
experience for the prospective
teacher involved in the education
of migrant children is the objective of the Mini-Corps program.
It's a good theory.
But according to some Chicano
educators and some participants
of the program the theory is not
the practice.
Thr, Mini-Corpspersons (students interested in the field of
education) are placed in the
schools to put into practice what
they have learned in the classroom,
But according to Armando
Perez, CSUF junior and participant in the program, this was not
the case in Ora Loma (a school
outside of Firebaugh),
"One of the Mini-Corpspersons
at Ora Loma had a lot of trouble
with her master teacher. She
(the master teacher) felt threatened, She wouldn't let the MiniCorpsperson do her lesson plans,
she even accused her of trying
to take over," said Perez.
"The school is 99 per cent
migrant, year-round; we had to be
careful because Mini-Corps didn't want to lose that school for
the following year," continued
Perez.
This is just one example of the
pressure that Mlni-Corpspersons
are subjected to,
According to Irene Palacios
the program was •au right, but
the migrant program in Madera
is not very good."
•1 think they should be more
select! ve in their staff, getting
people who want to work with
migrants instead of just hiring
people to work. I think the staff
and teachers are just there to get
paid and that's it. Their only
interest is the money, they do as
little as they can get away with,
just enough to please certain people (program directors)," said
Ms.• Palacios.
"The school I was stationed at
was pretty good, I got to run my
own classroom, I had the feeling
of being a teacher," said Miguel
Contreras, 1974 Mini-Corpsperson stationed in the town of San
Joaquin.
•we stayed in the labor camp
in Raisin City with the MiniCorpspersons from Raisin City.
We had a close relationship With
the migrants in the camp, they
treated us as professionals,"
said Contreras.
According to Contreras the
Mini-Corpspersons who were
placed in Raisin City School didn't have it as good as he did.
"They had a lot of hassles
from their administration and
teachers,"

Editor:
•should La Chicana go into the
health profession?" is the question that is asked by many Mexican American women today.
The reason for asking this
question is that in the past the
Chicanas were the ones who
cooked food, made clothing, and
cared for the sick and the young.
But today La Chicana is finding
that she can do other things which
are beneficial to her family and
her culture.
Some of the factors that are
contributing to La Chicana's way
of thinking are education, awareness of the outside world, and the
equal opportunities for women.
La Chicana is needed in the
health professions because of two
factors: (1) the lack of health
professionals, and (2) the lack of
women in the health field, By
being a health professional (doctor, dentist, pharmacist, nurse,
etc.) she will be able to cope
better with the problems of La
Raza.
La Chicana can also cope better with her own people (La
Raza) because she speaks Spanish and understands their lifestyles and customs.
Being a Chicana, La Raza is
more apt to go to her for medical
nelp or advice than to an anglo
health professional who doesn't
speak the~r language or understand their customs.
Sqe is also able to understand

women's medical problems,
which her patients are more
willing to confide in her. The
Chicana health professional tends
to cope with problems of children
more easily than a male professional because she portrays a
motherly image whirh puts the
child more at ease.
Thus the advantage of a Chicana health professional is that
better care is given to mothers
and children.
The Chicana in a health profession acts as an incentive to
motivate other Chicanas into the
health profession careers. Sheis
also an asset to her community
in that she can get ·involved
politically - another way she is
able to help La Raza.
As a health professional La
Chicana is given the opportunity
to sit on health professional
boards that deal with new drugs
and policies that pertain to women. She is given the chance to
express her feelings and professional judgment about these
new drugs and poli cies.
La Chicana as a health professional is a much needed person
to La Ra:r:a, She is not only able
to give her people better medical
care but she is also able to serve
her people in a political aspect,
By being a professional, she is
also an example to other Chicanas who want to make something of themselves.

Like most things, the cost of

medical students
that cost represents a heavy

It needn't be
that way. The
Armed Forces

Scholarship Program
was originated to
free you from those
worries. Men and
women who qualify
will have the costs of
their medical education covered, and
will also receive a
substantial monthly
allowance.
The program offers
more than tuition and
salary; it offers you the
opportunity to begin
your practice under very
favorable conditions. As a health care officer in
the military branch of your choice, you'll find
yourself with responsibilities fully in keeping with
your training, and with the time and opportunity to
observe a full spectrum of medical specialties.
'Nhen you decide on the specially you wish to
pursue. you may find yourself taking those
graduate medical studies at one of our many
large and modern medical centers. If so, you can
count on that training being second to none.

Situdents will tour with Mini-Corps Teatro
by Tom Uribes
Three CSUF Chicanos will participate in stressing the needs of
migrant children to educators
across the nation when the MiniCorps Teatro begins a four-stop
national tour this weekend.
David Gonzales ofSanger,Juan
Espinosa of Parlier, andYolanda
Vasquez of Fireb;mgh, are among
the six-member cast that will
fly to San Francisco, San Antonio,
o.. nas and Washington D.C., for
one week in an effort to show why
Mini-Corps should be instituted
in other states.
A part of the Caltfornia Migrant Education Program, MiniCorps consists of college students who are familiar with the
migrant family lifestyle and are
aiming towards a career in teaching. It provides them with summer jobs for Jinancial assistance
during the school year.
Their main goal is to help the
migrant child who is often hampered In the school systems because they change schools as
their family follows the seasonal
harvests, and the lack of understanding from school personnel
for this educational disruption,
said Gonzalez.
The dramatization, a four-part
original play written and scored
by the six students collect! vely,
conveys this situation which the
migrant child faces in America's
public schools.
"The story is our lives," says
Gonzalez. "It's what we went
through when we were kids. Our
teacher told us we couldn't read
because we were handicapped by
moving from school to school.
•Now, as a Mini-Corpsperson
helping migrant kids in the classroom, I can say 'I, too, was a
migrant child, look at me. You

"We hope to open their eyes to

of Chicano medical professionals
can, in time, alleviate the problems," continued the CSUF student.
•Evidence of Chicanos actively
working towards solving these
problems can be seen in the various clinics developing throughout

storyline which is entitled •Eva•s
Story."
It depicts a Chicana who elevated herself from a migrant
student to a teacher, said Wagner.
Blending Spanish and English, it
shows the language communication problem between teacher and
student, the role the Mini-Corpsperson pla ys in that proble m, and
the feelings of the child. The four
parts portray the cla s s r oo m, the
fields, and the labor camp.
Wagner said that the reception
of Teatro• s presentation was
"really effective , people were
moved."
Following the performance, she
added, the NEA unanimously
adopted a resolution that every

El Teatro Campesino
brings end of the world
by Margaret Esparza
El Teatro Campesino, the farm
workers' theater which originated
In Delano 10 years ago, will perform •EI Fin De!Mundo"(theend
of the world) at 8 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 9, 1975 in the College Union
Lounge here on the CSUF campus,
EL TEATRO CAMPESINO
The play is a political drama
about a ritualistic celebration of
the end of the world. With Indian
style dances and music, the play
presents the Campesino-Indio
point of view of man's successes
and failures in dealing with himself and the creator on a spiritual
as well as political level.
Luis Valdez, director of the
group and writer of the play, said
the work will trace the life, death
and rebirth of a poor farmer with
cosmic implications.
Although much of the play is
in Spanish, switches are made
into English often for the nonSpanish speaker'S.
The Teatro has performed previously on the CSUF campus and
the audience turnout has been
very receptive. The Thursday
ni~ht performance will be sponsored by the College Union Program Committee.
El Teatro Campesino ls part of
an explosion - it is taking from
the old and creating the new.
It is putting all the joys, sorrows, history and culture of La
Raza on stage to be examined,
to be remade and passed on to
others.
It offers some answers; that
things don •t have to be this way.
It does this in its own form and
style, known as the "Acto."
This is the simplest way to
say "come see what you're doing
to me, come see what I have to
offer."
Actos deal with almost every
aspect of Chicano life and death.
They are created by Chicanos
with an urgency to be heard.
Unfortunately, few actos have
been written and published - El
Teatro Campesino has started to
keep record of as many of these
actos as possible.
As a part of El CentroCampesino Cultural, a non-profit cultural organization, the teatro also
distributes films, publishes Chicano literature and produces its
own music,
Those of you who desire a
better understanding of Chicano
theater should attend this rare
performance by the original
Chicano Teatro, "El TeatroCampesino."

•
services
hearing •1n Pinedale '
A hearing to examine a plan
under consideration by the California Assembly to consolidate
services for children was held
Monday in Pinedale.
Assemblyman Art Torres (DEast Los Angeles) and the committee he chairs. the Subcommittee on Children and Parent
Services, considered testimony
from approximately 35 Fresno
County citizens on the proposal
which will be embodied in Assembly Bill 421 by Assemblyman
Leon Ralph .
The proposal would facilitate
the acc essibility of all services
to children and their families
by using a "one-stop~ approach,
providing a single system of state
and count~· departments of children and parents· services in one
geographically accessible loca-
tion for all services needed,
Another important feature is a
provision that enables one professional to assist in obtaining
all services a child requires and
to follow the progress through
until the need no longer exists.
Leo Zavala, Community Services Representative for Housir,g
Authorities in Pinedale, said that
among the positive aspects of the
proposal is that more attention
would b~ given to the rural areas
of the county. Presently, families
desiring the child services must
come into Fresno. He said that
if passed, the proposal would provide branch offices in rural areas
as well.
Child service programs would
include:
-In own-home care (including
family life education, home main-
tenance advising, child development counseling, , family crisis
consultation, supportive and sustaining counseling, and provision
of auxiliary parenting personnel).
-Child day care.
-Twenty-four hour foster
care.
-Protective child care.
-Child adoptions and guardianship service.
-Child care regulatory administration.
-Child advocacy,

Mini-Corpspersons question migrant-ed program practices
by Anna ::-loriega
To provide a "real" teaching
experience for the prospective
teacher involved in the education
of migrant children is the objective of the Mini-Corps program.
It's a good theory.
But according to some Chicano
educators and some participants
of the program the theory is not
the practice.
Thr, Mini-Corpspersons (students interested in the field of
education) are placed in the
schools to put into practice what
they have learned in the classroom,
But according to Armando
Perez, CSUF junior and participant in the program, this was not
the case in Ora Loma (a school
outside of Firebaugh),
"One of the Mini-Corpspersons
at Ora Loma had a lot of trouble
with her master teacher. She
(the master teacher) felt threatened, She wouldn't let the MiniCorpsperson do her lesson plans,
she even accused her of trying
to take over," said Perez.
"The school is 99 per cent
migrant, year-round; we had to be
careful because Mini-Corps didn't want to lose that school for
the following year," continued
Perez.
This is just one example of the
pressure that Mlni-Corpspersons
are subjected to,
According to Irene Palacios
the program was •au right, but
the migrant program in Madera
is not very good."
•1 think they should be more
select! ve in their staff, getting
people who want to work with
migrants instead of just hiring
people to work. I think the staff
and teachers are just there to get
paid and that's it. Their only
interest is the money, they do as
little as they can get away with,
just enough to please certain people (program directors)," said
Ms.• Palacios.
"The school I was stationed at
was pretty good, I got to run my
own classroom, I had the feeling
of being a teacher," said Miguel
Contreras, 1974 Mini-Corpsperson stationed in the town of San
Joaquin.
•we stayed in the labor camp
in Raisin City with the MiniCorpspersons from Raisin City.
We had a close relationship With
the migrants in the camp, they
treated us as professionals,"
said Contreras.
According to Contreras the
Mini-Corpspersons who were
placed in Raisin City School didn't have it as good as he did.
"They had a lot of hassles
from their administration and
teachers,"

Editor:
•should La Chicana go into the
health profession?" is the question that is asked by many Mexican American women today.
The reason for asking this
question is that in the past the
Chicanas were the ones who
cooked food, made clothing, and
cared for the sick and the young.
But today La Chicana is finding
that she can do other things which
are beneficial to her family and
her culture.
Some of the factors that are
contributing to La Chicana's way
of thinking are education, awareness of the outside world, and the
equal opportunities for women.
La Chicana is needed in the
health professions because of two
factors: (1) the lack of health
professionals, and (2) the lack of
women in the health field, By
being a health professional (doctor, dentist, pharmacist, nurse,
etc.) she will be able to cope
better with the problems of La
Raza.
La Chicana can also cope better with her own people (La
Raza) because she speaks Spanish and understands their lifestyles and customs.
Being a Chicana, La Raza is
more apt to go to her for medical
nelp or advice than to an anglo
health professional who doesn't
speak the~r language or understand their customs.
Sqe is also able to understand

women's medical problems,
which her patients are more
willing to confide in her. The
Chicana health professional tends
to cope with problems of children
more easily than a male professional because she portrays a
motherly image whirh puts the
child more at ease.
Thus the advantage of a Chicana health professional is that
better care is given to mothers
and children.
The Chicana in a health profession acts as an incentive to
motivate other Chicanas into the
health profession careers. Sheis
also an asset to her community
in that she can get ·involved
politically - another way she is
able to help La Raza.
As a health professional La
Chicana is given the opportunity
to sit on health professional
boards that deal with new drugs
and policies that pertain to women. She is given the chance to
express her feelings and professional judgment about these
new drugs and poli cies.
La Chicana as a health professional is a much needed person
to La Ra:r:a, She is not only able
to give her people better medical
care but she is also able to serve
her people in a political aspect,
By being a professional, she is
also an example to other Chicanas who want to make something of themselves.

Situdents will tour with Mini-Corps Teatro
by Tom Uribes
Three CSUF Chicanos will participate in stressing the needs of
migrant children to educators
across the nation when the MiniCorps Teatro begins a four-stop
national tour this weekend.
David Gonzales ofSanger,Juan
Espinosa of Parlier, andYolanda
Vasquez of Fireb;mgh, are among
the six-member cast that will
fly to San Francisco, San Antonio,
o.. nas and Washington D.C., for
one week in an effort to show why
Mini-Corps should be instituted
in other states.
A part of the Caltfornia Migrant Education Program, MiniCorps consists of college students who are familiar with the
migrant family lifestyle and are
aiming towards a career in teaching. It provides them with summer jobs for Jinancial assistance
during the school year.
Their main goal is to help the
migrant child who is often hampered In the school systems because they change schools as
their family follows the seasonal
harvests, and the lack of understanding from school personnel
for this educational disruption,
said Gonzalez.
The dramatization, a four-part
original play written and scored
by the six students collect! vely,
conveys this situation which the
migrant child faces in America's
public schools.
"The story is our lives," says
Gonzalez. "It's what we went
through when we were kids. Our
teacher told us we couldn't read
because we were handicapped by
moving from school to school.
•Now, as a Mini-Corpsperson

storyline which is entitled •Eva•s
Story."
It depicts a Chicana who elevated herself from a migrant
student to a teacher, said Wagner.
Blending Spanish and English, it
shows the language communication problem between teacher and
student, the role the Mini-Corpsperson pla ys in that proble m, and
the feelings of the child. The four
parts portray the cla s s r oo m, the
fields, and the labor camp.
Wagner said that the reception
of Teatro• s presentation was
"really effective , people were
moved."
Following the performance, she
added, the NEA unanimously
adopted a resolution that every

El Teatro Campesino
brings end of the world
by Margaret Esparza
El Teatro Campesino, the farm
workers' theater which originated
In Delano 10 years ago, will perform •EI Fin De!Mundo"(theend
of the world) at 8 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 9, 1975 in the College Union
Lounge here on the CSUF campus,
EL TEATRO CAMPESINO
The play is a political drama
about a ritualistic celebration of
the end of the world. With Indian
style dances and music, the play
presents the Campesino-Indio
point of view of man's successes
and failures in dealing with himself and the creator on a spiritual
as well as political level.
Luis Valdez, director of the
group and writer of the play, said
the work will trace the life, death
and rebirth of a poor farmer with
cosmic implications.
Although much of the play is
in Spanish, switches are made
into English often for the nonSpanish speaker'S.
The Teatro has performed previously on the CSUF campus and
the audience turnout has been
very receptive. The Thursday
ni~ht performance will be sponsored by the College Union Program Committee.
El Teatro Campesino ls part of
an explosion - it is taking from
the old and creating the new.
It is putting all the joys, sorrows, history and culture of La
Raza on stage to be examined,
to be remade and passed on to
others.
It offers some answers; that
things don •t have to be this way.
It does this in its own form and
style, known as the "Acto."
This is the simplest way to
say "come see what you're doing
to me, come see what I have to
offer."
Actos deal with almost every
aspect of Chicano life and death.
They are created by Chicanos
with an urgency to be heard.
Unfortunately, few actos have
been written and published - El
Teatro Campesino has started to
keep record of as many of these
actos as possible.
As a part of El CentroCampesino Cultural, a non-profit cultural organization, the teatro also
distributes films, publishes Chicano literature and produces its
own music,
Those of you who desire a
better understanding of Chicano
theater should attend this rare
performance by the original
Chicano Teatro, "El TeatroCampesino."

•
services
hearing •1n Pinedale '
A hearing to examine a plan
under consideration by the California Assembly to consolidate
services for children was held
Monday in Pinedale.
Assemblyman Art Torres (DEast Los Angeles) and the committee he chairs. the Subcommittee on Children and Parent
Services, considered testimony
from approximately 35 Fresno
County citizens on the proposal
which will be embodied in Assembly Bill 421 by Assemblyman
Leon Ralph .
The proposal would facilitate
the acc essibility of all services
to children and their families
by using a "one-stop~ approach,
providing a single system of state
and count~· departments of children and parents· services in one
geographically accessible loca-
tion for all services needed,
Another important feature is a
provision that enables one professional to assist in obtaining
all services a child requires and
to follow the progress through
until the need no longer exists.
Leo Zavala, Community Services Representative for Housir,g
Authorities in Pinedale, said that
among the positive aspects of the
proposal is that more attention
would b~ given to the rural areas
of the county. Presently, families
desiring the child services must
come into Fresno. He said that
if passed, the proposal would provide branch offices in rural areas
as well.
Child service programs would
include:
-In own-home care (including
family life education, home main-
tenance advising, child development counseling, , family crisis
consultation, supportive and sustaining counseling, and provision
of auxiliary parenting personnel).
-Child day care.
-Twenty-four hour foster
care.
-Protective child care.
-Child adoptions and guardianship service.
-Child care regulatory administration.
-Child advocacy,

Mini-Corpspersons question migrant-ed program practices
by Anna ::-loriega
To provide a "real" teaching
experience for the prospective
teacher involved in the education
of migrant children is the objective of the Mini-Corps program.
It's a good theory.
But according to some Chicano
educators and some participants
of the program the theory is not
the practice.
Thr, Mini-Corpspersons (students interested in the field of
education) are placed in the
schools to put into practice what
they have learned in the classroom,
But according to Armando
Perez, CSUF junior and participant in the program, this was not
the case in Ora Loma (a school
outside of Firebaugh),
"One of the Mini-Corpspersons
at Ora Loma had a lot of trouble
with her master teacher. She
(the master teacher) felt threatened, She wouldn't let the MiniCorpsperson do her lesson plans,
she even accused her of trying
to take over," said Perez.
"The school is 99 per cent
migrant, year-round; we had to be
careful because Mini-Corps didn't want to lose that school for
the following year," continued
Perez.
This is just one example of the
pressure that Mlni-Corpspersons
are subjected to,
According to Irene Palacios
the program was •au right, but
the migrant program in Madera
is not very good."
•1 think they should be more
select! ve in their staff, getting
people who want to work with
migrants instead of just hiring
people to work. I think the staff
and teachers are just there to get
paid and that's it. Their only
interest is the money, they do as
little as they can get away with,
just enough to please certain people (program directors)," said
Ms.• Palacios.
"The school I was stationed at
was pretty good, I got to run my
own classroom, I had the feeling
of being a teacher," said Miguel
Contreras, 1974 Mini-Corpsperson stationed in the town of San
Joaquin.
•we stayed in the labor camp
in Raisin City with the MiniCorpspersons from Raisin City.
We had a close relationship With
the migrants in the camp, they
treated us as professionals,"
said Contreras.
According to Contreras the
Mini-Corpspersons who were
placed in Raisin City School didn't have it as good as he did.
"They had a lot of hassles
from their administration and
teachers,"

Editor:
•should La Chicana go into the
health profession?" is the question that is asked by many Mexican American women today.
The reason for asking this
question is that in the past the
Chicanas were the ones who
cooked food, made clothing, and
cared for the sick and the young.
But today La Chicana is finding
that she can do other things which
are beneficial to her family and
her culture.
Some of the factors that are
contributing to La Chicana's way
of thinking are education, awareness of the outside world, and the
equal opportunities for women.
La Chicana is needed in the
health professions because of two
factors: (1) the lack of health
professionals, and (2) the lack of
women in the health field, By
being a health professional (doctor, dentist, pharmacist, nurse,
etc.) she will be able to cope
better with the problems of La
Raza.
La Chicana can also cope better with her own people (La
Raza) because she speaks Spanish and understands their lifestyles and customs.
Being a Chicana, La Raza is
more apt to go to her for medical
nelp or advice than to an anglo
health professional who doesn't
speak the~r language or understand their customs.
Sqe is also able to understand

women's medical problems,
which her patients are more
willing to confide in her. The
Chicana health professional tends
to cope with problems of children
more easily than a male professional because she portrays a
motherly image whirh puts the
child more at ease.
Thus the advantage of a Chicana health professional is that
better care is given to mothers
and children.
The Chicana in a health profession acts as an incentive to
motivate other Chicanas into the
health profession careers. Sheis
also an asset to her community
in that she can get ·involved
politically - another way she is
able to help La Raza.
As a health professional La
Chicana is given the opportunity
to sit on health professional
boards that deal with new drugs
and policies that pertain to women. She is given the chance to
express her feelings and professional judgment about these
new drugs and poli cies.
La Chicana as a health professional is a much needed person
to La Ra:r:a, She is not only able
to give her people better medical
care but she is also able to serve
her people in a political aspect,
By being a professional, she is
also an example to other Chicanas who want to make something of themselves.

Over 1500 persons attended a

commemorating the religiouscultural mural painted on St.
Mary's Church Hall by five
Sanger Chicanos.
Known as Los Companeros, the
group includes two CSUF Chicanos, Gary · Tellez and Jess
Sepulveda, and a 1975 June graduate, Antonio Serna.
Bishop Roger Mahoney, presently chairman of the state Agriculture Labor Relations Board,
celebrated Mass as part of the
day-long festivities.
The mural ls of the Apparition ·
of our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan
Diego, and was completed in
three and a half months.
In December 1974, Los Companeros began their first mural
on a 135 by 25 foot wall in Sanger
which was completed in May of
this year. It depicted a symbolic
cultural effort.
Unique among the artists'
methods ls the engaging of the
community in the project. Many
Sanger Chicano youths contributed to the cause, a move designed to help people become

THE RISING COST a= A MEDICAL EDUCATION.
Like most things, the cost of
attending medical school
has risen sharply
over the last
decade. To many
medical students
that cost represents a heavy

problem that can
affect your concentration.
It needn't be
that way. The
Armed Forces

Scholarship Program
was originated to
free you from those
worries. Men and
women who qualify
will have the costs of
their medical education covered, and
will also receive a
substantial monthly
allowance.
The program offers
more than tuition and
salary; it offers you the
opportunity to begin
your practice under very
favorable conditions. As a health care officer in
the military branch of your choice, you'll find
yourself with responsibilities fully in keeping with
your training, and with the time and opportunity to
observe a full spectrum of medical specialties.
'Nhen you decide on the specially you wish to
pursue. you may find yourself taking those
graduate medical studies at one of our many
large and modern medical centers. If so, you can
count on that training being second to none.
Both the clinical and research work being done
in them hove made Arm;, Navy and Air Force

Situdents will tour with Mini-Corps Teatro
by Tom Uribes
Three CSUF Chicanos will participate in stressing the needs of
migrant children to educators
across the nation when the MiniCorps Teatro begins a four-stop
national tour this weekend.
David Gonzales ofSanger,Juan
Espinosa of Parlier, andYolanda
Vasquez of Fireb;mgh, are among
the six-member cast that will
fly to San Francisco, San Antonio,
o.. nas and Washington D.C., for
one week in an effort to show why
Mini-Corps should be instituted
in other states.
A part of the Caltfornia Migrant Education Program, MiniCorps consists of college students who are familiar with the
migrant family lifestyle and are
aiming towards a career in teaching. It provides them with summer jobs for Jinancial assistance
during the school year.
Their main goal is to help the
migrant child who is often hampered In the school systems because they change schools as
their family follows the seasonal
harvests, and the lack of understanding from school personnel
for this educational disruption,
said Gonzalez.
The dramatization, a four-part
original play written and scored
by the six students collect! vely,
conveys this situation which the
migrant child faces in America's
public schools.
"The story is our lives," says
Gonzalez. "It's what we went
through when we were kids. Our
teacher told us we couldn't read
because we were handicapped by
moving from school to school.
•Now, as a Mini-Corpsperson
helping migrant kids in the classroom, I can say 'I, too, was a
migrant child, look at me. You

The membership throughout
the United States ranges from
high school students to the highest professional positions in the
field of medicine.
One of NCHO's means of providing the Mexican population
with better health care is by the
promotion and support of Chicano
students interested in the medical field.
The means of correcting such
differences in today's health
c:1re, and imbalances from one
community to the next, can only
be ac-hieved through caring, c·oncern ;rnd education.

"We hope to open their eyes to

education and a greater number
of Chicano medical professionals
can, in time, alleviate the problems," continued the CSUF student.
•Evidence of Chicanos actively

problems can be seen in the various clinics developing throughout

She is presently teaching Chicano

with NCHO will be an asset to

elaborated generally on the
storyline which is entitled •Eva•s
Story."
It depicts a Chicana who elevated herself from a migrant
student to a teacher, said Wagner.
Blending Spanish and English, it
shows the language communication problem between teacher and
student, the role the Mini-Corpsperson pla ys in that proble m, and
the feelings of the child. The four
parts portray the cla s s r oo m, the
fields, and the labor camp.
Wagner said that the reception
of Teatro• s presentation was
"really effective , people were
moved."
Following the performance, she
added, the NEA unanimously
adopted a resolution that every
state have a Mini-Corps. However, it was only a resolution and
that concrete action, as far as
she knows, has yet to be taken.

concern of CSUF NCHO
One naturally may ask, "How
can Chicanos be suffering so
much or any differently in our
modern technological society?"
The answer to these questions
and others are of great concern
to NCIIO members.

you can go lo school, too.• "
Since California is the only
state whose migrant program
functions with such a studentaide program, the Teatro intends
to. show the effect! veness of the
older students relating to the
younger ones, says the Teatro's
director Kay Wagner.
•The other states should be
aware that something can be
done,• she said. She explained
that other states receive funds
for migrant education .
Wagner decided on a dramatization approach when she was
asked to prepare a presentation
to relay this message to the National Educators Convention this
past summer in Los Angeles.
