paper future dim
first two editions, indicating in
meetings that the paper was
rather sloppy. "The Council was
very upset because the publication came out bilingual," said
Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he got the idea
for a bilingual paper from the
editor of the Clovis Independent
.who praised the paper. H<! said
it probably was the first in the
state for an unincorporated city.
The small publication is the
primary work of its editor, who
_does everything for the publica, tion while trying to maintain his
· duties as a liaison for the Pinedale Community Center.
Rodriguez said he has taken the
Students press
for more input
The problem of student participation in future conventions
of the Association of MexicanAmerican Educators (AMAE) was
temporarily solved, but not concluded, at the 10th annual state
convention of the Chicano educators' group.
Anna Noreiga, president of
CSUF MECHA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) said
the problem was "aired" but was
"far from solved."
The AMAE convention passed
several resolutions, among them
that students will be allowed to
participate in future convention
steering committees and in future
workshops.
That resolution came after the
students, led mostly by CSUF
MECHA members, tried to pass
a resolution asking for full membership status in the organization. Currently students are able
to participate as associate mem-
bers without voting privileges.
Students were only represented
at one workshop in the conference
attended by approximately 900
participants interested in "the
education of Chicano students."
N0riega said she was told the
next convention would he held in
San Jose. She said the students
would have to work with that
particular local AMAE group to
assure student participation at
the convention next year.
AMAE also passed a resolution
asking for a meeting with state
sch o o 1 superintendent Wilson
Riles to discuss his affirmative
·action program within his own
office.
A resolution to support the recall of Riles was narrow 1y
defeated, with the membership
instead asking for a meeting to
discuss what AMAE state vice
president Ben Villa called •negative vibes" about Riles from
AMAE members.

Pinedale's only bilingual community newspaper, The Pinedale
Press, may be on the brink of
closing, according to its editor
Jesus Rodriguez.
Recently, the Pinedale Community Council has given Rodriguez the indication they no
longer wish to subscribe to the
publication.
"In ~he beginning all they ha,1
was a mimeograph bulletin," said
Rodr.i guez.
"They wanted a real paper and
I told them, 'I '11 give you a paper
you can be proud of,' " he said.
As it turned out, the council
was anything but pleased with the
edition
responsibility of being all the
positions on the paper, from deli very boy to sales manager,
saying that he himself must solicit ads to keep the publication
in existence.
"It's that simple," said Rodriguez. "I have to hoof it to get
ads for the publication."
Rodriguez went on to add that
$200 worth of ads has to be gathered before the paper can be
published.
"The paper is a sideline of
community services," said Rodriguez. "It is a self-contained
unit, it pays for itself."
The publication provides several rJnctions: it provides a news
source for the community as well
as a morale uplifter, and it providPs free advertising for the
community in general.
"Anything you would pay for in
the local daily is free in our
paper or at a very reasonable
cost for businesses," said Rodriguez. "So far we have heen
breaking even . .,
In the next issue he said he
hopes to raise enough revenue to
secure some money for a youth
recreation program at Pinedale
Community Center.
"I don't know why they (the
council) don't wont it," said
Rodriguez.
The council, according to Rodriguez, has given the indication
they want to return to the mimeograph type of bulletin.

, Joyeria Mexico seeks
to generate Chicano
community and culture
by Anna Noreiga
"Es mejor tener un amigo que
un cliente" (It is better to have
a friend than a customer) is the
philosophy behind the recently
opened Joyeria Mexico (Mexico
Jewelry Store), according to
Aristeo Alvarez, one of the owners.
Saturday, Alvarez and partners
Samuel Sosa and Hector Cavazos
put that philosophy into action
with a grand opening at their
Fulton Mall location featuring
various Mexican guest artists
and recording groups.
Because they were "tired of
seeing the Mexican community
deceived," Alvarez, Sosa and
Cavazos decided to undertake the
business venture.
"It was more of a moral issue
than an economic one. All of us
who formed this association have
had a bad experience with 'el
capitalista huero'," said Cavazos.
Sosa felt that they had a good
location.
"Approximately 80 per cent
of the customers are Spanishspeaking," he said. •The Fulton
Mall is one of the best shopping
facilities in the state.
"Mexican people would rather
patronize a Mexican owned business," Sosa added.
Joyeria Mexico is owned by
Mexicans, all of its employees
are Mexican and 20 per cent of
their merchandise is imported
from Mexico, said Sosa.
"This is the first time in
California - that you will find a
jewelry store with a full Mexican
name. All letterhead and business cards are in Spanish. Even
the ironwork in our store windows
was done by a man from Michoa(Continued on Page 4, Col. 1)
El Calendario Bicentinal
Contributions, misfortunes of La Raza
Since much ado has been
placed upon the celebration of
200 Fourth of July's, La Vaz de
Aztlan would like to take advantage of this opportunity to make
note of the many contributions of
La Raza to the United States of
America.
It is with this in mind that La
Voz will begin a continual column
that states the contributions and
misfortunes of the Mejicano here
in this country.
Although omitted from history
books, the Mejicano has been a
major factor towards the growth
and development of the United
States of America.
La Voz will be stating these
contributions beginning with this
issue.
Monthly Highlight - On October
10, 1933 cotton growers reacted
against a strike of 15,000 farm
workers by shooting at Chicano
cotton pickers as they left a union
meeting near Visalia, California,
· killing two workers and wounding
others.
Police responded to the shootings by arresting 17 strike leaders. Later 11 growers were arrested and acquitted,
The Corcoran cotton pickers'
strike was the largest of 37 recorded strikes by farm workers
in California in 1934, most of
them called by the cannery and

The strike began when workers
demanded wages equal to those

The workers moved to 40 acres
rented by the union to use as a
base for mobile picketing. By
the end of the strike, three workers had been killed, 42 wounded,
nine died of malnutrition, and
113 had been arrested.

a,r
conflicts of Chicanos
Special to
by Mario Galvan
Al Reyes, a Chicano news reporter for Channel 30 in Fresno,
is going to present all si~es of an
issue and still present a "fair"
picture.
He will try to do this on Sunday with a half-hour program.
•The Educational System and
the· Chicano Student: Schools
Under Fire", a special program
dealing with the conflicts many
Chicanos face in the educational
process, will be aired on Channel
30, Sunday, October 26, 197S at
five p.m.
"The main thrust of this program deals with a conflict." said
Reyes, the creator and producer
of the program.
"A conflict, such as the one
in the Joe Haro incident, in which
he was dismissed from le<1ching
at Sequoia Jr. high," said Reyes.
Reyes said the media hasn't
given the incidents just treatment.
"With a half-hour program I
can give the subject more <iepth,"
said Reyes. "Rather than the two
minutes or less given hy most
news stories."
According to Reyes there is _
more hehind the student walkouts
than just a group or "rowdy"
parents hehind them. Stating that
the Chicano parents are now beginning to get involved, suc:h as
the Asociacion de Padres Mexicanos who havP a strong interest
in the C hican'l child's education.
•There is a second-rate attitude about Chica11os into anything," said H.eyes.
Many Chic:ann parents ,'.ry that
the school districts have hecome
insensitivii," said !{eyes, i11 regard to the program .
Reyes also said PdU<·ators in
his progra111 say the syst0rn is
not <loing the joh it was designed
to do, and that it sonrntimes
hinders rather than helps the
Chicano.
When asked if this particular
program will air all aspects of
the prohlem, Reyes replied. "You
can't.get into everythinJ, hut you
can get the basics."

According to Rodriguez, the
purpose of the paper is to provide a community service and to
help :n the improvement of the
community in general. This it
does weH in that a voice is
availabl e to the co:nmunity
through the publication. And, as if
this were not enough, the publication is delivered to_ the doorstep of the community mem l.1er
free of charge. "If that isn't community .s~rvice, I don't know
what is ," said Rodriguez.
"And at the same time, this
publication offers some form of
pride." said Rodriguez.
"And
tint is what this co mmunity
needs, a little pride."
Rodriguez commented that even
though he is getting some help
from students at Clovis High

it is still difficult to cl etermine
whether tile publication will last.
Although his photo department

in his spare time, Rodriguez
said the public ati on will come out
at least one more time. "It doesn't cost them (the council) a
penny." said Rodriguez.

Pena nourishes culture through writing,
by Ernesto Moreno
"A culture nourishes itself
through the expression and dissemination of the various arts,"·
said Manuel H. Pena, the instructor of three different Chicano
arts classes on campus.
Pena, one of the newest members of La Raza Studies faculty,
will be teaching a writing class,
Comparsa class, and a Chicano
Arts class.
Pena, who has a Master's Degree in English, intends to devote the entire semester in his
writing class to non-fiction
writing.
"I feel that in every Chicano
· mind there's a deep well of rich
UN Week observance

The conflicts and common
agreements of the United Nations
sponsored International Women's
Year meetings in Mexico City will
be the topic of Fresno's U.N.
Week observance tomorrow at the
Newman Center beginning at 7:30
p.m.
The featured speaker will be
Margaret Cruz, who was a delegate to the tribune which met
concurrently with the U.N. sponsored meeting and was the first
woman elected to head the state
tvfoxican American Political Association.
Officials said the purpose of the
tribune was to hear proposals
from nongovernmontal o:cganizations and to propose resolutions for presentation at the U.N.
meeting.
Ms. Cruz will be assisted by
Josie Mena, financial aids counselor at CSUF, and by Martha
Killebrew and Joan McKenna of
Oakland, all of whom attended
the Mexico meetings.
The Fresno event is sponsored
by the United Nations Association, the World Affairs Council
and the Fresno State Univers~ty
Women's Studies Program.
It is also cosponsored by the
American Association ofUniversity Women, the League ofWomen Voters, the Women's International League for Peace and
Freedom, and the University
Religious Center.
The event is open to the public

and powerful experience which
can find expression through writing," said the bearded instructor.
He feels that students will
write about personal experiences,
economic and social problems
unique to La Raza because .of
their oppressed condition.
Pena said a student can really
learn how to master the language
if he finds himself first and that's
what he will try to help the student do in the class.
In the art class he says he
will take a three-pronged approach in the three main branches
of the arts: music, art and literature.
Pena said this approach will
be an historical one, starting with
Pre-Colombian Civilizations and
working- up t0 the Chicano Arts of
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN-3
art classes
Today.
.
The philosophy of the class is
that a culture perpetuates itself
not only through the evaluation of
the present and ruture, but also
through the study of lts past,
providing a rich reserve of experiences that La Raza can draw
upon to preserve its heritage,
said Pena.
The youthful looking instructor
will also be teaching Comparsa,
a class which will incorporate
within its structure singers and
mu.s tcians who will specialize
in performing traditional Mexican music.

vehicle which is intended to reach

Chicano music, allowing the students involved to understand and
appreciate cultural music more.

Among the plans the trio have
for the store is having KGST
(an all-Spanish language station)
broadcast from a studio in the
back of the store.
•KGST will broadcast from
here in the morning five or six
days a week," said Alvarez. "We
will have public service announcements and special programs that deal with problems
that affect the Mexican community. We're going to try to stay
away from politics.
•we will also be interviewing
Mexican movie stars and record- .
ing artists," said Alvarez. •This
will provide an opportunity for
the community to .come and meet
some of their idols without any
obligation.
•once we get established we
will be offering scholarships for
Chicanos who are not receiving
financial aid from any other
source, preferably those who
would be going into business,"
he added.

nothing," said Cavazos. "We are
the largest minority in the state
of California. With the supp-:lrt of

meetings that the paper was
rather sloppy. "The Council was
very upset because the publication came out bilingual," said
Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he got the idea
for a bilingual paper from the
editor of the Clovis Independent
.who praised the paper. H<! said
it probably was the first in the
state for an unincorporated city.
The small publication is the
primary work of its editor, who
_does everything for the publica, tion while trying to maintain his

Rodriguez said he has taken the
Students press
for more input
The problem of student participation in future conventions
of the Association of MexicanAmerican Educators (AMAE) was
temporarily solved, but not concluded, at the 10th annual state
convention of the Chicano educators' group.
Anna Noreiga, president of
CSUF MECHA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) said
the problem was "aired" but was
"far from solved."
The AMAE convention passed
several resolutions, among them
that students will be allowed to
participate in future convention
steering committees and in future
workshops.
That resolution came after the
students, led mostly by CSUF
MECHA members, tried to pass
a resolution asking for full membership status in the organization. Currently students are able
to participate as associate mem-
bers without voting privileges.
Students were only represented
at one workshop in the conference
attended by approximately 900
participants interested in "the
education of Chicano students."
N0riega said she was told the
next convention would he held in
San Jose. She said the students
would have to work with that
particular local AMAE group to
assure student participation at
the convention next year.
AMAE also passed a resolution
asking for a meeting with state
sch o o 1 superintendent Wilson
Riles to discuss his affirmative
·action program within his own
office.
A resolution to support the recall of Riles was narrow 1y
defeated, with the membership
instead asking for a meeting to
discuss what AMAE state vice
president Ben Villa called •negative vibes" about Riles from
AMAE members.

Pinedale's only bilingual community newspaper, The Pinedale
Press, may be on the brink of
closing, according to its editor
Jesus Rodriguez.
Recently, the Pinedale Community Council has given Rodriguez the indication they no
longer wish to subscribe to the
publication.
"In ~he beginning all they ha,1
was a mimeograph bulletin," said
Rodr.i guez.
"They wanted a real paper and
I told them, 'I '11 give you a paper
you can be proud of,' " he said.
As it turned out, the council
was anything but pleased with the

responsibility of being all the
positions on the paper, from deli very boy to sales manager,
saying that he himself must solicit ads to keep the publication
in existence.
"It's that simple," said Rodriguez. "I have to hoof it to get
ads for the publication."
Rodriguez went on to add that
$200 worth of ads has to be gathered before the paper can be
published.
"The paper is a sideline of
community services," said Rodriguez. "It is a self-contained
unit, it pays for itself."
The publication provides several rJnctions: it provides a news
source for the community as well
as a morale uplifter, and it providPs free advertising for the
community in general.
"Anything you would pay for in
the local daily is free in our
paper or at a very reasonable
cost for businesses," said Rodriguez. "So far we have heen
breaking even . .,
In the next issue he said he
hopes to raise enough revenue to
secure some money for a youth
recreation program at Pinedale
Community Center.
"I don't know why they (the
council) don't wont it," said
Rodriguez.
The council, according to Rodriguez, has given the indication
they want to return to the mimeograph type of bulletin.

, Joyeria Mexico seeks
to generate Chicano
community and culture
by Anna Noreiga
"Es mejor tener un amigo que
un cliente" (It is better to have
a friend than a customer) is the
philosophy behind the recently
opened Joyeria Mexico (Mexico
Jewelry Store), according to
Aristeo Alvarez, one of the owners.
Saturday, Alvarez and partners
Samuel Sosa and Hector Cavazos
put that philosophy into action
with a grand opening at their
Fulton Mall location featuring
various Mexican guest artists
and recording groups.
Because they were "tired of
seeing the Mexican community
deceived," Alvarez, Sosa and
Cavazos decided to undertake the
business venture.
"It was more of a moral issue
than an economic one. All of us
who formed this association have
had a bad experience with 'el
capitalista huero'," said Cavazos.
Sosa felt that they had a good
location.
"Approximately 80 per cent
of the customers are Spanishspeaking," he said. •The Fulton
Mall is one of the best shopping
facilities in the state.
"Mexican people would rather
patronize a Mexican owned business," Sosa added.
Joyeria Mexico is owned by
Mexicans, all of its employees
are Mexican and 20 per cent of
their merchandise is imported
from Mexico, said Sosa.
"This is the first time in
California - that you will find a
jewelry store with a full Mexican
name. All letterhead and business cards are in Spanish. Even

Special to

Al Reyes, a Chicano news reporter for Channel 30 in Fresno,
is going to present all si~es of an
issue and still present a "fair"
picture.
He will try to do this on Sunday with a half-hour program.
•The Educational System and

Under Fire", a special program
dealing with the conflicts many
Chicanos face in the educational
process, will be aired on Channel
30, Sunday, October 26, 197S at
five p.m.
"The main thrust of this program deals with a conflict." said
Reyes, the creator and producer
of the program.
"A conflict, such as the one
in the Joe Haro incident, in which
he was dismissed from le<1ching
at Sequoia Jr. high," said Reyes.
Reyes said the media hasn't
given the incidents just treatment.
"With a half-hour program I
can give the subject more <iepth,"
said Reyes. "Rather than the two
minutes or less given hy most
news stories."
According to Reyes there is _
more hehind the student walkouts
than just a group or "rowdy"
parents hehind them. Stating that
the Chicano parents are now beginning to get involved, suc:h as

According to Rodriguez, the
purpose of the paper is to provide a community service and to
help :n the improvement of the
community in general. This it
does weH in that a voice is
availabl e to the co:nmunity
through the publication. And, as if
this were not enough, the publication is delivered to_ the doorstep of the community mem l.1er
free of charge. "If that isn't community .s~rvice, I don't know
what is ," said Rodriguez.
"And at the same time, this
publication offers some form of
pride." said Rodriguez.
"And
tint is what this co mmunity
needs, a little pride."
Rodriguez commented that even
though he is getting some help
from students at Clovis High

it is still difficult to cl etermine
whether tile publication will last.

if he finds himself first and that's
what he will try to help the student do in the class.
In the art class he says he
will take a three-pronged approach in the three main branches
of the arts: music, art and literature.
Pena said this approach will
be an historical one, starting with
Pre-Colombian Civilizations and
working- up t0 the Chicano Arts of
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN-3

Today.
.
The philosophy of the class is
that a culture perpetuates itself
not only through the evaluation of
the present and ruture, but also
through the study of lts past,
providing a rich reserve of experiences that La Raza can draw
upon to preserve its heritage,
said Pena.
The youthful looking instructor
will also be teaching Comparsa,
a class which will incorporate
within its structure singers and
mu.s tcians who will specialize
in performing traditional Mexican music.
•comparsa," he said, •ts a
vehicle which is intended to reach
a wide audience, thereby carrying the Culture itself."
Pena feels ·that Comparsa enables Chicano students to pursue
Chicano music, allowing the students involved to understand and
appreciate cultural music more.

very upset because the publication came out bilingual," said
Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he got the idea
for a bilingual paper from the

it probably was the first in the

Students press
for more input
The problem of student participation in future conventions
of the Association of MexicanAmerican Educators (AMAE) was
temporarily solved, but not concluded, at the 10th annual state
convention of the Chicano educators' group.
Anna Noreiga, president of
CSUF MECHA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) said
the problem was "aired" but was
"far from solved."
The AMAE convention passed
several resolutions, among them
that students will be allowed to
participate in future convention
steering committees and in future
workshops.
That resolution came after the
students, led mostly by CSUF
MECHA members, tried to pass
a resolution asking for full membership status in the organization. Currently students are able
to participate as associate mem-
bers without voting privileges.
Students were only represented
at one workshop in the conference
attended by approximately 900
participants interested in "the
education of Chicano students."
N0riega said she was told the
next convention would he held in
San Jose. She said the students
would have to work with that
particular local AMAE group to
assure student participation at
the convention next year.
AMAE also passed a resolution
asking for a meeting with state
sch o o 1 superintendent Wilson
Riles to discuss his affirmative
·action program within his own
office.
A resolution to support the recall of Riles was narrow 1y
defeated, with the membership
instead asking for a meeting to
discuss what AMAE state vice
president Ben Villa called •negative vibes" about Riles from
AMAE members.

Pinedale's only bilingual community newspaper, The Pinedale
Press, may be on the brink of
closing, according to its editor
Jesus Rodriguez.
Recently, the Pinedale Community Council has given Rodriguez the indication they no
longer wish to subscribe to the
publication.
"In ~he beginning all they ha,1
was a mimeograph bulletin," said
Rodr.i guez.
"They wanted a real paper and
I told them, 'I '11 give you a paper
you can be proud of,' " he said.
As it turned out, the council
was anything but pleased with the
edition
responsibility of being all the
positions on the paper, from deli very boy to sales manager,
saying that he himself must solicit ads to keep the publication
in existence.
"It's that simple," said Rodriguez. "I have to hoof it to get
ads for the publication."
Rodriguez went on to add that
$200 worth of ads has to be gathered before the paper can be
published.
"The paper is a sideline of
community services," said Rodriguez. "It is a self-contained
unit, it pays for itself."
The publication provides several rJnctions: it provides a news
source for the community as well
as a morale uplifter, and it providPs free advertising for the
community in general.
"Anything you would pay for in
the local daily is free in our
paper or at a very reasonable
cost for businesses," said Rodriguez. "So far we have heen
breaking even . .,
In the next issue he said he
hopes to raise enough revenue to
secure some money for a youth
recreation program at Pinedale
Community Center.
"I don't know why they (the
council) don't wont it," said
Rodriguez.
The council, according to Rodriguez, has given the indication
they want to return to the mimeograph type of bulletin.

, Joyeria Mexico seeks
to generate Chicano
community and culture
by Anna Noreiga
"Es mejor tener un amigo que
un cliente" (It is better to have
a friend than a customer) is the
philosophy behind the recently
opened Joyeria Mexico (Mexico
Jewelry Store), according to
Aristeo Alvarez, one of the owners.
Saturday, Alvarez and partners
Samuel Sosa and Hector Cavazos
put that philosophy into action
with a grand opening at their
Fulton Mall location featuring
various Mexican guest artists
and recording groups.
Because they were "tired of
seeing the Mexican community
deceived," Alvarez, Sosa and
Cavazos decided to undertake the
business venture.
"It was more of a moral issue
than an economic one. All of us
who formed this association have
had a bad experience with 'el
capitalista huero'," said Cavazos.
Sosa felt that they had a good
location.
"Approximately 80 per cent
of the customers are Spanishspeaking," he said. •The Fulton
Mall is one of the best shopping
facilities in the state.
"Mexican people would rather
patronize a Mexican owned business," Sosa added.
Joyeria Mexico is owned by
Mexicans, all of its employees
are Mexican and 20 per cent of
their merchandise is imported
from Mexico, said Sosa.
"This is the first time in
California - that you will find a
jewelry store with a full Mexican
name. All letterhead and business cards are in Spanish. Even

conflicts of Chicanos
Special to
by Mario Galvan
Al Reyes, a Chicano news reporter for Channel 30 in Fresno,
is going to present all si~es of an
issue and still present a "fair"
picture.
He will try to do this on Sunday with a half-hour program.
•The Educational System and
the· Chicano Student: Schools
Under Fire", a special program
dealing with the conflicts many
Chicanos face in the educational
process, will be aired on Channel
30, Sunday, October 26, 197S at
five p.m.
"The main thrust of this program deals with a conflict." said
Reyes, the creator and producer
of the program.
"A conflict, such as the one
in the Joe Haro incident, in which
he was dismissed from le<1ching
at Sequoia Jr. high," said Reyes.
Reyes said the media hasn't
given the incidents just treatment.
"With a half-hour program I
can give the subject more <iepth,"
said Reyes. "Rather than the two
minutes or less given hy most
news stories."
According to Reyes there is _
more hehind the student walkouts
than just a group or "rowdy"
parents hehind them. Stating that
the Chicano parents are now beginning to get involved, suc:h as
the Asociacion de Padres Mexicanos who havP a strong interest
in the C hican'l child's education.
•There is a second-rate attitude about Chica11os into anything," said H.eyes.
Many Chic:ann parents ,'.ry that

Reyes also said PdU<·ators in
his progra111 say the syst0rn is
not <loing the joh it was designed
to do, and that it sonrntimes
hinders rather than helps the
Chicano.
When asked if this particular

According to Rodriguez, the
purpose of the paper is to provide a community service and to
help :n the improvement of the
community in general. This it
does weH in that a voice is
availabl e to the co:nmunity
through the publication. And, as if
this were not enough, the publication is delivered to_ the doorstep of the community mem l.1er
free of charge. "If that isn't community .s~rvice, I don't know
what is ," said Rodriguez.
"And at the same time, this
publication offers some form of

"And

Rodriguez commented that even

it is still difficult to cl etermine
whether tile publication will last.

Pena nourishes culture through writing,
by Ernesto Moreno
"A culture nourishes itself
through the expression and dissemination of the various arts,"·
said Manuel H. Pena, the instructor of three different Chicano
arts classes on campus.
Pena, one of the newest members of La Raza Studies faculty,
will be teaching a writing class,
Comparsa class, and a Chicano
Arts class.
Pena, who has a Master's Degree in English, intends to devote the entire semester in his
writing class to non-fiction
writing.
"I feel that in every Chicano
· mind there's a deep well of rich
UN Week observance

The conflicts and common
agreements of the United Nations
sponsored International Women's
Year meetings in Mexico City will
be the topic of Fresno's U.N.
Week observance tomorrow at the
Newman Center beginning at 7:30
p.m.
The featured speaker will be
Margaret Cruz, who was a delegate to the tribune which met
concurrently with the U.N. sponsored meeting and was the first
woman elected to head the state
tvfoxican American Political Association.
Officials said the purpose of the
tribune was to hear proposals
from nongovernmontal o:cganizations and to propose resolutions for presentation at the U.N.
meeting.
Ms. Cruz will be assisted by
Josie Mena, financial aids counselor at CSUF, and by Martha
Killebrew and Joan McKenna of
Oakland, all of whom attended
the Mexico meetings.
The Fresno event is sponsored
by the United Nations Association, the World Affairs Council
and the Fresno State Univers~ty
Women's Studies Program.
It is also cosponsored by the
American Association ofUniversity Women, the League ofWomen Voters, the Women's International League for Peace and
Freedom, and the University
Religious Center.
The event is open to the public
fr.ee of charge. The Newman
Center is located at 1572 E.

and powerful experience which
can find expression through writing," said the bearded instructor.
He feels that students will
write about personal experiences,
economic and social problems
unique to La Raza because .of
their oppressed condition.
Pena said a student can really
learn how to master the language
if he finds himself first and that's
what he will try to help the student do in the class.
In the art class he says he
will take a three-pronged approach in the three main branches
of the arts: music, art and literature.
Pena said this approach will
be an historical one, starting with
Pre-Colombian Civilizations and
working- up t0 the Chicano Arts of

Today.
.
The philosophy of the class is
that a culture perpetuates itself
not only through the evaluation of
the present and ruture, but also
through the study of lts past,
providing a rich reserve of experiences that La Raza can draw
upon to preserve its heritage,
said Pena.
The youthful looking instructor
will also be teaching Comparsa,
a class which will incorporate
within its structure singers and
mu.s tcians who will specialize
in performing traditional Mexican music.

Pena feels ·that Comparsa enables Chicano students to pursue
Chicano music, allowing the students involved to understand and
appreciate cultural music more.

meetings that the paper was
rather sloppy. "The Council was
very upset because the publication came out bilingual," said
Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said he got the idea
for a bilingual paper from the
editor of the Clovis Independent
.who praised the paper. H<! said
it probably was the first in the
state for an unincorporated city.
The small publication is the
primary work of its editor, who

Students press
for more input
The problem of student participation in future conventions
of the Association of MexicanAmerican Educators (AMAE) was
temporarily solved, but not concluded, at the 10th annual state
convention of the Chicano educators' group.
Anna Noreiga, president of
CSUF MECHA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) said
the problem was "aired" but was
"far from solved."
The AMAE convention passed
several resolutions, among them
that students will be allowed to
participate in future convention
steering committees and in future
workshops.
That resolution came after the
students, led mostly by CSUF
MECHA members, tried to pass
a resolution asking for full membership status in the organization. Currently students are able
to participate as associate mem-
bers without voting privileges.
Students were only represented
at one workshop in the conference
attended by approximately 900
participants interested in "the
education of Chicano students."
N0riega said she was told the
next convention would he held in
San Jose. She said the students
would have to work with that
particular local AMAE group to
assure student participation at
the convention next year.
AMAE also passed a resolution
asking for a meeting with state
sch o o 1 superintendent Wilson
Riles to discuss his affirmative
·action program within his own
office.
A resolution to support the recall of Riles was narrow 1y
defeated, with the membership
instead asking for a meeting to
discuss what AMAE state vice
president Ben Villa called •negative vibes" about Riles from
AMAE members.

Tl1E DAILY COLLEGIAN
DE
by Mario Galvan
Pinedale's only bilingual community newspaper, The Pinedale
Press, may be on the brink of
closing, according to its editor
Jesus Rodriguez.
Recently, the Pinedale Community Council has given Rodriguez the indication they no
longer wish to subscribe to the
publication.
"In ~he beginning all they ha,1
was a mimeograph bulletin," said
Rodr.i guez.
"They wanted a real paper and
I told them, 'I '11 give you a paper
you can be proud of,' " he said.
As it turned out, the council
was anything but pleased with the
edition
responsibility of being all the
positions on the paper, from deli very boy to sales manager,
saying that he himself must solicit ads to keep the publication
in existence.
"It's that simple," said Rodriguez. "I have to hoof it to get
ads for the publication."
Rodriguez went on to add that
$200 worth of ads has to be gathered before the paper can be
published.
"The paper is a sideline of
community services," said Rodriguez. "It is a self-contained
unit, it pays for itself."
The publication provides several rJnctions: it provides a news
source for the community as well
as a morale uplifter, and it providPs free advertising for the
community in general.
"Anything you would pay for in
the local daily is free in our
paper or at a very reasonable
cost for businesses," said Rodriguez. "So far we have heen
breaking even . .,
In the next issue he said he
hopes to raise enough revenue to
secure some money for a youth
recreation program at Pinedale
Community Center.
"I don't know why they (the
council) don't wont it," said
Rodriguez.
The council, according to Rodriguez, has given the indication
they want to return to the mimeograph type of bulletin.

, Joyeria Mexico seeks
to generate Chicano
community and culture
by Anna Noreiga
"Es mejor tener un amigo que
un cliente" (It is better to have
a friend than a customer) is the
philosophy behind the recently
opened Joyeria Mexico (Mexico
Jewelry Store), according to
Aristeo Alvarez, one of the owners.
Saturday, Alvarez and partners
Samuel Sosa and Hector Cavazos
put that philosophy into action
with a grand opening at their
Fulton Mall location featuring
various Mexican guest artists
and recording groups.
Because they were "tired of
seeing the Mexican community
deceived," Alvarez, Sosa and
Cavazos decided to undertake the
business venture.
"It was more of a moral issue
than an economic one. All of us
who formed this association have
had a bad experience with 'el
capitalista huero'," said Cavazos.
Sosa felt that they had a good
location.
"Approximately 80 per cent
of the customers are Spanishspeaking," he said. •The Fulton
Mall is one of the best shopping
facilities in the state.
"Mexican people would rather
patronize a Mexican owned business," Sosa added.
Joyeria Mexico is owned by
Mexicans, all of its employees
are Mexican and 20 per cent of
their merchandise is imported
from Mexico, said Sosa.
"This is the first time in
California - that you will find a
jewelry store with a full Mexican
name. All letterhead and business cards are in Spanish. Even

Since much ado has been

It is with this in mind that La

Although omitted from history

a,r
conflicts of Chicanos
Special to
by Mario Galvan
Al Reyes, a Chicano news reporter for Channel 30 in Fresno,
is going to present all si~es of an
issue and still present a "fair"
picture.
He will try to do this on Sunday with a half-hour program.
•The Educational System and
the· Chicano Student: Schools
Under Fire", a special program
dealing with the conflicts many
Chicanos face in the educational
process, will be aired on Channel
30, Sunday, October 26, 197S at
five p.m.
"The main thrust of this program deals with a conflict." said
Reyes, the creator and producer
of the program.
"A conflict, such as the one
in the Joe Haro incident, in which
he was dismissed from le<1ching
at Sequoia Jr. high," said Reyes.
Reyes said the media hasn't
given the incidents just treatment.
"With a half-hour program I
can give the subject more <iepth,"
said Reyes. "Rather than the two
minutes or less given hy most
news stories."
According to Reyes there is _
more hehind the student walkouts
than just a group or "rowdy"
parents hehind them. Stating that
the Chicano parents are now beginning to get involved, suc:h as
the Asociacion de Padres Mexicanos who havP a strong interest
in the C hican'l child's education.
•There is a second-rate attitude about Chica11os into anything," said H.eyes.
Many Chic:ann parents ,'.ry that
the school districts have hecome
insensitivii," said !{eyes, i11 regard to the program .
Reyes also said PdU<·ators in
his progra111 say the syst0rn is
not <loing the joh it was designed
to do, and that it sonrntimes
hinders rather than helps the
Chicano.
When asked if this particular
program will air all aspects of
the prohlem, Reyes replied. "You
can't.get into everythinJ, hut you
can get the basics."

According to Rodriguez, the

through the publication. And, as if
this were not enough, the publication is delivered to_ the doorstep of the community mem l.1er

Pena nourishes culture through writing,
by Ernesto Moreno
"A culture nourishes itself
through the expression and dissemination of the various arts,"·
said Manuel H. Pena, the instructor of three different Chicano
arts classes on campus.
Pena, one of the newest members of La Raza Studies faculty,
will be teaching a writing class,
Comparsa class, and a Chicano
Arts class.
Pena, who has a Master's Degree in English, intends to devote the entire semester in his
writing class to non-fiction
writing.
"I feel that in every Chicano
· mind there's a deep well of rich
UN Week observance

The conflicts and common
agreements of the United Nations
sponsored International Women's
Year meetings in Mexico City will
be the topic of Fresno's U.N.
Week observance tomorrow at the
Newman Center beginning at 7:30
p.m.
The featured speaker will be
Margaret Cruz, who was a delegate to the tribune which met
concurrently with the U.N. sponsored meeting and was the first
woman elected to head the state
tvfoxican American Political Association.
Officials said the purpose of the
tribune was to hear proposals
from nongovernmontal o:cganizations and to propose resolutions for presentation at the U.N.
meeting.
Ms. Cruz will be assisted by
Josie Mena, financial aids counselor at CSUF, and by Martha
Killebrew and Joan McKenna of
Oakland, all of whom attended
the Mexico meetings.
The Fresno event is sponsored
by the United Nations Association, the World Affairs Council
and the Fresno State Univers~ty
Women's Studies Program.
It is also cosponsored by the
American Association ofUniversity Women, the League ofWomen Voters, the Women's International League for Peace and
Freedom, and the University
Religious Center.
The event is open to the public

and powerful experience which
can find expression through writing," said the bearded instructor.
He feels that students will
write about personal experiences,
economic and social problems
unique to La Raza because .of
their oppressed condition.
Pena said a student can really
learn how to master the language
if he finds himself first and that's
what he will try to help the student do in the class.
In the art class he says he
will take a three-pronged approach in the three main branches
of the arts: music, art and literature.
Pena said this approach will
be an historical one, starting with
Pre-Colombian Civilizations and
working- up t0 the Chicano Arts of
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN-3
art classes
Today.
.
The philosophy of the class is
that a culture perpetuates itself
not only through the evaluation of
the present and ruture, but also
through the study of lts past,
providing a rich reserve of experiences that La Raza can draw
upon to preserve its heritage,
said Pena.
The youthful looking instructor
will also be teaching Comparsa,
a class which will incorporate
within its structure singers and
mu.s tcians who will specialize
in performing traditional Mexican music.

vehicle which is intended to reach
a wide audience, thereby carrying the Culture itself."
Pena feels ·that Comparsa enables Chicano students to pursue
Chicano music, allowing the students involved to understand and
appreciate cultural music more.
