Fresno gym provides
minority athletic center
SHADOW BOXING at the Fresno Athletic Gym is only one of many
boxing techniQues offered. (Photo by Tomas Uribes)
by Ernesto Moreno
Walking up the steep stairs of
a building that formerly housed
a local business college, one
would not suspect he is entering
a combination boxing gym, kara~e
school, and recreational area.
The gym is a dream-cometrue for Gil Sanchez, who has
lived in the Fresno area since
195:h He has been involved in
boxing as a trainer-manager for
the last fifteen years.
As Sanchez described it, "I
spotted the empty building and
asked the manager if I could see
it. Once inside I saw what I
could do with it.
"I saw areas that could be used
for boxing, karate, weight lifting
and recreation in this empty
building."
Gil didn't stop at just envisioning uses for the building. He put
his resources together, which
initially amount e ct to about
$3,500, and opened what is now
known as the Fresno Athletic
Gym.
"The gym, which borderlines
West Fresno and · the downtown
area, is located at 1921 Tuolumne and is open to the public,,,
said Sanchez.
The basic purpose of the gym
was to provide a recreational
center for minority kids, to give
them a place to go and do something constructive with their
spare time, said the boxing
trainer.
The boxing gym is totally nonprofit, according to Sanchez.Operating expenses come to about
$450 a month and these expenses
are met -by renting out the various spaces within the building.
The occupants of the building
include the karate school which
is operated by Mike McCoy, boxing facilities handled by Sanchez,
two business offices that cater to
the Chicano community, and
space is available for weight-

Will LRS be departmentalized?
by Helen Gonzales
For some people May 1975
brings back the memories of
finishing the spring semester
and many crash hours of studying
for finals.
However, for many CSUF Chicanos it brings back memories
of cold nights spent camped in
front of the Thomas AdministraUon Building or the threatened
resignation of all La Raza Studies
instructors.
·
The non-violent demonstration
was held last May 1975 against
the policies of campus administrators, chiefly CSUF President
Norman Baxter. It centered
around five issues.
A brief summary of each includes: 1) Departmentalization of
La Raza Studies. La Ra z a
Studies, after years of preparation, had met all the requirements for departmentalization in
1975. The administration then inserted an additional requirement
which made departmentalization
virhlally impossible for La Raza
Studies for five years.
2) Asian-American Students
were excluded from the selection
process of hiring faculty for their
program. Also, otberdepartment
representatives were makingdecisions affecting students with no
student input.
3) The School of Education had
only one minority faculty member and, it was charged, the
School's curriculum was not sensitive to ethnic groups. CHE
(Chicanos in E du c a ti o n , a
MECHA committee) had heen ·
trying to obtain statistical data
related to the number of Chicanos in the School of Education,
the number of Chicano instruc- .
tors and the number of courses
relating to the Chicano child.
Repeated efforts to obtain this
inform a ti on from then-Dean
Ralph Evans, Academic VicePresident Swanson and President
Baxter had been unsuccessful.
4) Affirmative Action Parity
taking place in employment for
minorities is required by federal
law. The only parity shown for
'.fhird World People at CSUF
was in their representation at
the lowest classification of faculty employment.
5) Associated S tu d en t Body
elections were, the protesters
charged, another example ofdiscrimination. In 1974, nine minority slate candidates won most
of the ASB Senate positions and
the presidency. A series of protests were lodged, one citing six
ballots more than there were
signatures. As a result, the election was invalidated by the CSUF
administration.
In 1975 an Anglo slate won
most of the Senate positions and
the presidency. Chicanos lodged
a series of valid protests, one
citing 30 more hallots than there
were signatures. However, this
time the administration refused
to invalidate the election results.
After a week of negut1atio11s,
agreements had · heen made between Chicano students, faculty
and CSU1'' administrators. Re·sults included:
1) Departmentalization - La
Raza Studies could become a departm_ent by borrowing tenured
faculty from other dl!partments
to make the needed five tenured
positions. Academic Vice-President Swanson signed a statement
of commitment that LRS would

election - President Baxter refused to call for another election.
Three senators, who had been
illegally vacated from their position by the ASB Student Court
were reinsh~ted.
Chicanos at last felt things had
heen accomplished.
·
However, the issue ot departmentalization must be brought up
once more. According to the
CSU F administration, no such
agreement for departmentalization exi_s ts this year. La Raza
Studies, although functioning totally as a department, retains the
status of a •program.• The reason - a lack of three tenured
faculty, the same stipulation that
halted La Raza Studies from becoming a department last year!
Tenure is obtained after a faculty member with a terminal degree or its equivalent has taught
as an associate professor for at
least three years. This criteria
has been a "protective means"
for CSUF administrators to deny
La Raza Studies its well-deserved status as a department.
However, before the recent
changes of criteria for departmentalization, the CSUF administration had granted departmen- .
talization to a program with only
two faculty members.
La Raza Studies has a faculty
of 12 instructors, some part
time, a program coordinator,
clerical staff and an allocated
budget from CSUF. The administration cannot use the argument
that departmentalization of LRS
would be costly to CSUF.
But no more money would be
needed if La Raza Studies was
to become a department. Departmentalization could be a

means of dispersing Chicano faculty and LRS program.
We must question President
Baxter on his list of priorities
when we see one of his "projects" for the betterment ofCSUF
is building a football stadium.
He still hasn't settled last year's
issue - departmentalization.
If every Chicano or interested
student took a La Raza Studies
course there would be over 1400
students in the program. The
CSUF administration would "handle" the status of departmentalization regardless of criteria!
Through your support as a Chicano or interested student, ·La

Teatro perpetuates Chicano experience
by Tom Uribes
•perpetuating the Chicano experience through art" is one of
many intentions of El Teatro
Espiritu says La Raza Studies
coordinator Alex Saragoza.
Listed as La Raza 131, the
class in Chicano Theatre is one
of many offered by La Raza
studies that has as its goal the
teaching and preservation of Chicano culture, said Saragoza.
Saragoza heavily stresses student directions of productions.
This is where student director
Frank Riojas comes into the picture.
Riojas, who picked up some of
his skills from workshops sponsored by El Teatro Campesino,
explained that in El Teatro Espiritu, the actor specializes in
taking on the spirit of the characters involved - and at times
ad-libbing lines as the feeling
inspires.
"Through Teatro we try to
convey the injustices that La
Raza has endured," said the student director. "Hopefully one of
the things that will come out of
the class is that students will go
out and teach Teatro workshops,"
stressed the CSUF junior.
Presently, Saragoza and Riojas
are concentrating their efforts on
a tentative eight-day tour that
may take the Teatro to Washington and Idaho.
"Born when the surge of Chicano Teatros followed the emergence of the original Teatro, 'El
Teatro Cam pesino,' the class has
been in the school curriculum
since 1969," said Riojas.
The successful impact of El
Teatro Campesino showed our
p e o p le their situation in the
American society, continued the
husky student director,
It is with that realization in
mind that El Teatro Espiritu
directs its energies, exposing
the economic situation of our
people in the barrios, the racism
in our cities and in the educational system, agreed both Riojas and Saragoza.
·
"One of the biggest benefits for
the community is not only to
communicate the concerns of
Chicanos to non-Chicanos through
teatros, but simultaneously to
raise the consciousness level of
the Chicano community within
itself," said Saragoza.
"Through teatro, people can
actually see what's happening,
they get emotionally involved and
can identify with the action,"
Riojas said.

REVIEW
Fender overnight Sensation?
by Mario Galvan
With fifteen years of struggle
and hardship tucked under his
belt, Freddie Fender, with his
charming blend of English and
Spanish lyrics interwoven in his
records, has become an overnight sensation.
Fender has been known
throughout the Southwest and
Mexico for the past 15 years
without really •making it in the
industry." It wasn't until his hit
single "Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" that Fender became visible to the public eye.
" And now with his •wasted Days
and Wasted Nights" he is still
climbing the charts to become one
of the most sought-after talents
in the industry. This Chicano has
now, after years of torment and
discrimination, reached the upper echelons of success.
So how is it that this Chicano
achieved a place among the greats
of the recording industry in this
Anglo-oriented society? Has his
sudden success deadened his sensitivity to the rest of "La.Raza"?
Freddie Fender was born in San
Benito, Texas, some 38 years ago
and christened Baldemar Huerta.
At the age of 1o he began singing,
learning his distinctive country
blues guitar by the time he was
11 and going on to join the Marines at the age of 16. Upon completing his tour of duty in 1956,
Fender and his comllo hit the Texas beer joint trail.
For the next four years Fender
recorded with several small labels, appealing mostly to the
Spanish audience. Especially enjoyable was his Spanish version
of Elvis Presley's ''Don't Be
Cruel."
Then in 1960 came the start of
a tragic experience. Fender was ·
playing in Baton Rouge "when the
police came up on the bandstand
and busted me for grass. They
found ome seeds in the house I
was staying in and I ended up with
five years in jail. I served three,
played my music on weekends and
when I got outl continued to play."
After his ordeal with the law,
Fender played for the next eight
years throughout the Southwest,
making himself something of a
local legend. By 1971 he added
a little more to his life by enrolling in college and studying sociology, planning to work with juveniles and ex-cons.
"Since I'd been in the pen, I
figured nobody was in
better.
position than me to do that kind
of thing," Fender said.
That same year Huey P. Meaux,
the legendary Texas producer,
realized the extreme artistic
sensitivity and tremendous talent
within Freddie Fender. From
that point on, the two began what
was to be a three-year building
process in which this Chicano
would relay his message through
the best vehicle he knew, his
songs.
a
LPswere cut onMeaux'sCrazy
Cajun and Starflite labels and in
1974 •Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" was released. Dot Recording picked it up later and the
rest is history.
Fender has remained unaffected by his tremendous success.
He still likes simple rock, and
will not abandon the blend of English ancf Spanish lyrics he was
doing long before he became the
sensation he is now. His music
is a wonderful mix of blues, rock,
soul, country and, of course, Latin with a tinge of AMOR.
To many, Fender has become
the guiding light in a dark and
lifeless tunnel. They say his music, Chicano-country, has been
created to depict a new era in the
history of the brown people in
this labeled "free" country.
His success and the fact that
Freddie Fender is Chicano all a<ld
to the thought that even the downgraded "Raza" can beat the discrimination of this society.
Freddie Fender depicts a uew
type of Chicano. Not a political
one, but rather a creative one that
has imbedded within himself the
Aztec characteristic of pride.
Pride in oneself and one's ability.
Truly to emphasize the fact
"Si se puede."

SHADOW BOXING at the Fresno Athletic Gym is only one of many
boxing techniQues offered. (Photo by Tomas Uribes)
by Ernesto Moreno
Walking up the steep stairs of
a building that formerly housed
a local business college, one
would not suspect he is entering
a combination boxing gym, kara~e
school, and recreational area.
The gym is a dream-cometrue for Gil Sanchez, who has
lived in the Fresno area since
195:h He has been involved in
boxing as a trainer-manager for
the last fifteen years.
As Sanchez described it, "I
spotted the empty building and
asked the manager if I could see
it. Once inside I saw what I
could do with it.
"I saw areas that could be used
for boxing, karate, weight lifting
and recreation in this empty
building."
Gil didn't stop at just envisioning uses for the building. He put
his resources together, which
initially amount e ct to about
$3,500, and opened what is now
known as the Fresno Athletic
Gym.
"The gym, which borderlines
West Fresno and · the downtown
area, is located at 1921 Tuolumne and is open to the public,,,
said Sanchez.
The basic purpose of the gym
was to provide a recreational
center for minority kids, to give
them a place to go and do something constructive with their
spare time, said the boxing
trainer.
The boxing gym is totally nonprofit, according to Sanchez.Operating expenses come to about
$450 a month and these expenses
are met -by renting out the various spaces within the building.
The occupants of the building
include the karate school which
is operated by Mike McCoy, boxing facilities handled by Sanchez,
two business offices that cater to
the Chicano community, and
space is available for weight-

Will LRS be departmentalized?
by Helen Gonzales
For some people May 1975
brings back the memories of
finishing the spring semester
and many crash hours of studying
for finals.
However, for many CSUF Chicanos it brings back memories
of cold nights spent camped in
front of the Thomas AdministraUon Building or the threatened
resignation of all La Raza Studies
instructors.
·
The non-violent demonstration
was held last May 1975 against
the policies of campus administrators, chiefly CSUF President
Norman Baxter. It centered
around five issues.
A brief summary of each includes: 1) Departmentalization of
La Raza Studies. La Ra z a
Studies, after years of preparation, had met all the requirements for departmentalization in
1975. The administration then inserted an additional requirement
which made departmentalization
virhlally impossible for La Raza
Studies for five years.
2) Asian-American Students
were excluded from the selection
process of hiring faculty for their
program. Also, otberdepartment
representatives were makingdecisions affecting students with no
student input.
3) The School of Education had
only one minority faculty member and, it was charged, the
School's curriculum was not sensitive to ethnic groups. CHE
(Chicanos in E du c a ti o n , a
MECHA committee) had heen ·
trying to obtain statistical data
related to the number of Chicanos in the School of Education,
the number of Chicano instruc- .
tors and the number of courses
relating to the Chicano child.
Repeated efforts to obtain this
inform a ti on from then-Dean
Ralph Evans, Academic VicePresident Swanson and President
Baxter had been unsuccessful.
4) Affirmative Action Parity
taking place in employment for
minorities is required by federal
law. The only parity shown for
'.fhird World People at CSUF
was in their representation at
the lowest classification of faculty employment.
5) Associated S tu d en t Body
elections were, the protesters
charged, another example ofdiscrimination. In 1974, nine minority slate candidates won most
of the ASB Senate positions and
the presidency. A series of protests were lodged, one citing six
ballots more than there were
signatures. As a result, the election was invalidated by the CSUF
administration.
In 1975 an Anglo slate won
most of the Senate positions and
the presidency. Chicanos lodged
a series of valid protests, one
citing 30 more hallots than there
were signatures. However, this
time the administration refused
to invalidate the election results.
After a week of negut1atio11s,
agreements had · heen made between Chicano students, faculty
and CSU1'' administrators. Re·sults included:
1) Departmentalization - La
Raza Studies could become a departm_ent by borrowing tenured
faculty from other dl!partments
to make the needed five tenured
positions. Academic Vice-President Swanson signed a statement
of commitment that LRS would

4) Affirr:native Action - Guarantees from the administration

5) Associated Student Body
election - President Baxter refused to call for another election.
Three senators, who had been
illegally vacated from their position by the ASB Student Court
were reinsh~ted.
Chicanos at last felt things had
heen accomplished.
·
However, the issue ot departmentalization must be brought up
once more. According to the
CSU F administration, no such
agreement for departmentalization exi_s ts this year. La Raza
Studies, although functioning totally as a department, retains the
status of a •program.• The reason - a lack of three tenured
faculty, the same stipulation that
halted La Raza Studies from becoming a department last year!
Tenure is obtained after a faculty member with a terminal degree or its equivalent has taught
as an associate professor for at
least three years. This criteria
has been a "protective means"
for CSUF administrators to deny
La Raza Studies its well-deserved status as a department.
However, before the recent
changes of criteria for departmentalization, the CSUF administration had granted departmen- .
talization to a program with only
two faculty members.
La Raza Studies has a faculty
of 12 instructors, some part
time, a program coordinator,
clerical staff and an allocated
budget from CSUF. The administration cannot use the argument
that departmentalization of LRS
would be costly to CSUF.
But no more money would be
needed if La Raza Studies was
to become a department. Departmentalization could be a

means of dispersing Chicano faculty and LRS program.
We must question President
Baxter on his list of priorities
when we see one of his "projects" for the betterment ofCSUF
is building a football stadium.
He still hasn't settled last year's
issue - departmentalization.
If every Chicano or interested
student took a La Raza Studies
course there would be over 1400
students in the program. The
CSUF administration would "handle" the status of departmentalization regardless of criteria!
Through your support as a Chicano or interested student, ·La

Teatro perpetuates Chicano experience
by Tom Uribes
•perpetuating the Chicano experience through art" is one of
many intentions of El Teatro
Espiritu says La Raza Studies
coordinator Alex Saragoza.
Listed as La Raza 131, the
class in Chicano Theatre is one
of many offered by La Raza
studies that has as its goal the
teaching and preservation of Chicano culture, said Saragoza.
Saragoza heavily stresses student directions of productions.
This is where student director
Frank Riojas comes into the picture.
Riojas, who picked up some of
his skills from workshops sponsored by El Teatro Campesino,
explained that in El Teatro Espiritu, the actor specializes in
taking on the spirit of the characters involved - and at times
ad-libbing lines as the feeling
inspires.
"Through Teatro we try to
convey the injustices that La
Raza has endured," said the student director. "Hopefully one of
the things that will come out of
the class is that students will go
out and teach Teatro workshops,"
stressed the CSUF junior.
Presently, Saragoza and Riojas
are concentrating their efforts on
a tentative eight-day tour that
may take the Teatro to Washington and Idaho.
"Born when the surge of Chicano Teatros followed the emergence of the original Teatro, 'El
Teatro Cam pesino,' the class has
been in the school curriculum
since 1969," said Riojas.
The successful impact of El
Teatro Campesino showed our
p e o p le their situation in the
American society, continued the
husky student director,
It is with that realization in
mind that El Teatro Espiritu
directs its energies, exposing
the economic situation of our
people in the barrios, the racism
in our cities and in the educational system, agreed both Riojas and Saragoza.
·
"One of the biggest benefits for
the community is not only to
communicate the concerns of
Chicanos to non-Chicanos through
teatros, but simultaneously to
raise the consciousness level of
the Chicano community within
itself," said Saragoza.
"Through teatro, people can
actually see what's happening,
they get emotionally involved and
can identify with the action,"
Riojas said.
He added teatro can be more

Fender overnight Sensation?
by Mario Galvan
With fifteen years of struggle
and hardship tucked under his
belt, Freddie Fender, with his
charming blend of English and
Spanish lyrics interwoven in his
records, has become an overnight sensation.
Fender has been known
throughout the Southwest and
Mexico for the past 15 years
without really •making it in the
industry." It wasn't until his hit
single "Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" that Fender became visible to the public eye.
" And now with his •wasted Days
and Wasted Nights" he is still
climbing the charts to become one
of the most sought-after talents
in the industry. This Chicano has
now, after years of torment and
discrimination, reached the upper echelons of success.
So how is it that this Chicano
achieved a place among the greats
of the recording industry in this
Anglo-oriented society? Has his
sudden success deadened his sensitivity to the rest of "La.Raza"?
Freddie Fender was born in San
Benito, Texas, some 38 years ago
and christened Baldemar Huerta.
At the age of 1o he began singing,
learning his distinctive country
blues guitar by the time he was
11 and going on to join the Marines at the age of 16. Upon completing his tour of duty in 1956,
Fender and his comllo hit the Texas beer joint trail.
For the next four years Fender
recorded with several small labels, appealing mostly to the
Spanish audience. Especially enjoyable was his Spanish version
of Elvis Presley's ''Don't Be
Cruel."
Then in 1960 came the start of
a tragic experience. Fender was ·
playing in Baton Rouge "when the
police came up on the bandstand
and busted me for grass. They
found ome seeds in the house I
was staying in and I ended up with
five years in jail. I served three,
played my music on weekends and
when I got outl continued to play."
After his ordeal with the law,
Fender played for the next eight
years throughout the Southwest,
making himself something of a
local legend. By 1971 he added
a little more to his life by enrolling in college and studying sociology, planning to work with juveniles and ex-cons.
"Since I'd been in the pen, I
figured nobody was in
better.
position than me to do that kind
of thing," Fender said.
That same year Huey P. Meaux,
the legendary Texas producer,
realized the extreme artistic

within Freddie Fender. From
that point on, the two began what
was to be a three-year building
process in which this Chicano
would relay his message through
the best vehicle he knew, his
songs.

LPswere cut onMeaux'sCrazy
Cajun and Starflite labels and in
1974 •Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" was released. Dot Recording picked it up later and the
rest is history.
Fender has remained unaffected by his tremendous success.
He still likes simple rock, and
will not abandon the blend of English ancf Spanish lyrics he was
doing long before he became the
sensation he is now. His music
is a wonderful mix of blues, rock,
soul, country and, of course, Latin with a tinge of AMOR.
To many, Fender has become
the guiding light in a dark and
lifeless tunnel. They say his music, Chicano-country, has been
created to depict a new era in the
history of the brown people in
this labeled "free" country.
His success and the fact that
Freddie Fender is Chicano all a<ld
to the thought that even the downgraded "Raza" can beat the discrimination of this society.
Freddie Fender depicts a uew
type of Chicano. Not a political
one, but rather a creative one that
has imbedded within himself the
Aztec characteristic of pride.
Pride in oneself and one's ability.
Truly to emphasize the fact

Fresno gym provides

by Ernesto Moreno
Walking up the steep stairs of
a building that formerly housed
a local business college, one
would not suspect he is entering
a combination boxing gym, kara~e
school, and recreational area.
The gym is a dream-cometrue for Gil Sanchez, who has
lived in the Fresno area since
195:h He has been involved in
boxing as a trainer-manager for
the last fifteen years.
As Sanchez described it, "I
spotted the empty building and
asked the manager if I could see
it. Once inside I saw what I
could do with it.
"I saw areas that could be used
for boxing, karate, weight lifting
and recreation in this empty
building."
Gil didn't stop at just envisioning uses for the building. He put
his resources together, which
initially amount e ct to about
$3,500, and opened what is now
known as the Fresno Athletic
Gym.
"The gym, which borderlines
West Fresno and · the downtown
area, is located at 1921 Tuolumne and is open to the public,,,
said Sanchez.
The basic purpose of the gym
was to provide a recreational
center for minority kids, to give
them a place to go and do something constructive with their
spare time, said the boxing
trainer.
The boxing gym is totally nonprofit, according to Sanchez.Operating expenses come to about
$450 a month and these expenses
are met -by renting out the various spaces within the building.
The occupants of the building
include the karate school which
is operated by Mike McCoy, boxing facilities handled by Sanchez,
two business offices that cater to
the Chicano community, and
space is available for weight-

Will LRS be departmentalized?
by Helen Gonzales
For some people May 1975
brings back the memories of
finishing the spring semester
and many crash hours of studying
for finals.
However, for many CSUF Chicanos it brings back memories
of cold nights spent camped in
front of the Thomas AdministraUon Building or the threatened
resignation of all La Raza Studies
instructors.
·
The non-violent demonstration
was held last May 1975 against
the policies of campus administrators, chiefly CSUF President
Norman Baxter. It centered
around five issues.
A brief summary of each includes: 1) Departmentalization of
La Raza Studies. La Ra z a
Studies, after years of preparation, had met all the requirements for departmentalization in
1975. The administration then inserted an additional requirement
which made departmentalization
virhlally impossible for La Raza
Studies for five years.
2) Asian-American Students
were excluded from the selection
process of hiring faculty for their
program. Also, otberdepartment
representatives were makingdecisions affecting students with no
student input.
3) The School of Education had
only one minority faculty member and, it was charged, the
School's curriculum was not sensitive to ethnic groups. CHE
(Chicanos in E du c a ti o n , a
MECHA committee) had heen ·
trying to obtain statistical data
related to the number of Chicanos in the School of Education,
the number of Chicano instruc- .
tors and the number of courses
relating to the Chicano child.
Repeated efforts to obtain this
inform a ti on from then-Dean
Ralph Evans, Academic VicePresident Swanson and President
Baxter had been unsuccessful.
4) Affirmative Action Parity
taking place in employment for
minorities is required by federal
law. The only parity shown for
'.fhird World People at CSUF
was in their representation at
the lowest classification of faculty employment.
5) Associated S tu d en t Body
elections were, the protesters
charged, another example ofdiscrimination. In 1974, nine minority slate candidates won most
of the ASB Senate positions and
the presidency. A series of protests were lodged, one citing six
ballots more than there were
signatures. As a result, the election was invalidated by the CSUF
administration.
In 1975 an Anglo slate won
most of the Senate positions and
the presidency. Chicanos lodged
a series of valid protests, one
citing 30 more hallots than there
were signatures. However, this
time the administration refused
to invalidate the election results.
After a week of negut1atio11s,
agreements had · heen made between Chicano students, faculty
and CSU1'' administrators. Re·sults included:
1) Departmentalization - La
Raza Studies could become a departm_ent by borrowing tenured
faculty from other dl!partments
to make the needed five tenured
positions. Academic Vice-President Swanson signed a statement
of commitment that LRS would
he~ome a departhient. Faculty

2) Asian students were given
voting power in the selection of
faculty for their program.
3) School of Education - data
requested was partially answered • .Formation of committees with minority students to
work in the hiring of faculty in
the School and student input ln
the selection of curriculum was
implemented.
4) Affirr:native Action - Guarantees from the administration
that CSUF will increase affirmative action efforts were secured.
5) Associated Student Body
election - President Baxter refused to call for another election.
Three senators, who had been
illegally vacated from their position by the ASB Student Court
were reinsh~ted.
Chicanos at last felt things had
heen accomplished.
·
However, the issue ot departmentalization must be brought up
once more. According to the
CSU F administration, no such
agreement for departmentalization exi_s ts this year. La Raza
Studies, although functioning totally as a department, retains the
status of a •program.• The reason - a lack of three tenured
faculty, the same stipulation that
halted La Raza Studies from becoming a department last year!
Tenure is obtained after a faculty member with a terminal degree or its equivalent has taught
as an associate professor for at
least three years. This criteria
has been a "protective means"
for CSUF administrators to deny
La Raza Studies its well-deserved status as a department.
However, before the recent
changes of criteria for departmentalization, the CSUF administration had granted departmen- .
talization to a program with only
two faculty members.
La Raza Studies has a faculty
of 12 instructors, some part
time, a program coordinator,
clerical staff and an allocated
budget from CSUF. The administration cannot use the argument
that departmentalization of LRS
would be costly to CSUF.
But no more money would be
needed if La Raza Studies was
to become a department. Departmentalization could be a

The musical, blending the popular Chicano theatrics of the
Teatros with rock-type music, is
a drnam come true for Sola,no
and Barrio Libre director Chuey
Padron, a student at Colegio.
"I've always wanted to see a
Chicano musical happen," said
Solano. "It shows that we're not
stagnant. We're doing something
with our music. We're not just
trying to make a few lousy bucks.
As far as 1 know, this ls the
first such production ever."
The performance consists of
actos dealing with an historical
account of La Raza.
The two-hour performancedepicts the various stages through
which __ the Chicano experience
has evolved, explained Padron, .
from the indigenous eras, the
Spanisl\'' conquest, through Mexican folkloricos, to the Mexican
in the United States.

The CSUF administration would
like to disperse the core faculty
of La Raza Studies by having
them teach in other departments.
The program then would be made

faculty. This is yet another
means of dispersing Chicano faculty and LRS program.
We must question President
Baxter on his list of priorities
when we see one of his "projects" for the betterment ofCSUF
is building a football stadium.
He still hasn't settled last year's
issue - departmentalization.
If every Chicano or interested
student took a La Raza Studies
course there would be over 1400
students in the program. The
CSUF administration would "handle" the status of departmentalization regardless of criteria!
Through your support as a Chicano or interested student, ·La
Raza Studies will become a department. Take a course in La
Raza Studies or contact President Norman Baxter and ask for
the status of departmentalization
for LRS.

Teatro perpetuates Chicano experience
by Tom Uribes
•perpetuating the Chicano experience through art" is one of
many intentions of El Teatro
Espiritu says La Raza Studies
coordinator Alex Saragoza.
Listed as La Raza 131, the
class in Chicano Theatre is one
of many offered by La Raza
studies that has as its goal the
teaching and preservation of Chicano culture, said Saragoza.
Saragoza heavily stresses student directions of productions.
This is where student director
Frank Riojas comes into the picture.
Riojas, who picked up some of
his skills from workshops sponsored by El Teatro Campesino,
explained that in El Teatro Espiritu, the actor specializes in
taking on the spirit of the characters involved - and at times
ad-libbing lines as the feeling
inspires.
"Through Teatro we try to
convey the injustices that La
Raza has endured," said the student director. "Hopefully one of
the things that will come out of
the class is that students will go
out and teach Teatro workshops,"
stressed the CSUF junior.
Presently, Saragoza and Riojas
are concentrating their efforts on
a tentative eight-day tour that
may take the Teatro to Washington and Idaho.
"Born when the surge of Chicano Teatros followed the emergence of the original Teatro, 'El
Teatro Cam pesino,' the class has
been in the school curriculum
since 1969," said Riojas.
The successful impact of El
Teatro Campesino showed our
p e o p le their situation in the
American society, continued the
husky student director,
It is with that realization in
mind that El Teatro Espiritu
directs its energies, exposing
the economic situation of our
people in the barrios, the racism
in our cities and in the educational system, agreed both Riojas and Saragoza.
·
"One of the biggest benefits for
the community is not only to
communicate the concerns of
Chicanos to non-Chicanos through
teatros, but simultaneously to
raise the consciousness level of
the Chicano community within
itself," said Saragoza.
"Through teatro, people can
actually see what's happening,
they get emotionally involved and
can identify with the action,"
Riojas said.
He added teatro can be more
effective than a speaker or a

REVIEW
Fender overnight Sensation?
by Mario Galvan
With fifteen years of struggle
and hardship tucked under his
belt, Freddie Fender, with his
charming blend of English and
Spanish lyrics interwoven in his
records, has become an overnight sensation.
Fender has been known
throughout the Southwest and
Mexico for the past 15 years
without really •making it in the
industry." It wasn't until his hit
single "Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" that Fender became visible to the public eye.
" And now with his •wasted Days
and Wasted Nights" he is still
climbing the charts to become one
of the most sought-after talents
in the industry. This Chicano has
now, after years of torment and
discrimination, reached the upper echelons of success.
So how is it that this Chicano
achieved a place among the greats
of the recording industry in this
Anglo-oriented society? Has his
sudden success deadened his sensitivity to the rest of "La.Raza"?
Freddie Fender was born in San
Benito, Texas, some 38 years ago
and christened Baldemar Huerta.
At the age of 1o he began singing,
learning his distinctive country
blues guitar by the time he was
11 and going on to join the Marines at the age of 16. Upon completing his tour of duty in 1956,
Fender and his comllo hit the Texas beer joint trail.
For the next four years Fender
recorded with several small labels, appealing mostly to the
Spanish audience. Especially enjoyable was his Spanish version
of Elvis Presley's ''Don't Be
Cruel."
Then in 1960 came the start of
a tragic experience. Fender was ·
playing in Baton Rouge "when the
police came up on the bandstand
and busted me for grass. They
found ome seeds in the house I
was staying in and I ended up with
five years in jail. I served three,
played my music on weekends and
when I got outl continued to play."
After his ordeal with the law,
Fender played for the next eight
years throughout the Southwest,
making himself something of a
local legend. By 1971 he added
a little more to his life by enrolling in college and studying sociology, planning to work with juveniles and ex-cons.
"Since I'd been in the pen, I
figured nobody was in
better.
position than me to do that kind
of thing," Fender said.
That same year Huey P. Meaux,
the legendary Texas producer,
realized the extreme artistic
sensitivity and tremendous talent
within Freddie Fender. From
that point on, the two began what
was to be a three-year building
process in which this Chicano
would relay his message through
the best vehicle he knew, his
songs.
a
LPswere cut onMeaux'sCrazy
Cajun and Starflite labels and in
1974 •Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" was released. Dot Recording picked it up later and the
rest is history.
Fender has remained unaffected by his tremendous success.
He still likes simple rock, and
will not abandon the blend of English ancf Spanish lyrics he was
doing long before he became the
sensation he is now. His music
is a wonderful mix of blues, rock,
soul, country and, of course, Latin with a tinge of AMOR.
To many, Fender has become
the guiding light in a dark and
lifeless tunnel. They say his music, Chicano-country, has been
created to depict a new era in the
history of the brown people in
this labeled "free" country.
His success and the fact that
Freddie Fender is Chicano all a<ld
to the thought that even the downgraded "Raza" can beat the discrimination of this society.
Freddie Fender depicts a uew
type of Chicano. Not a political
one, but rather a creative one that
has imbedded within himself the
Aztec characteristic of pride.
Pride in oneself and one's ability.
Truly to emphasize the fact
"Si se puede."

by Ernesto Moreno
Walking up the steep stairs of
a building that formerly housed
a local business college, one
would not suspect he is entering
a combination boxing gym, kara~e
school, and recreational area.
The gym is a dream-cometrue for Gil Sanchez, who has
lived in the Fresno area since
195:h He has been involved in
boxing as a trainer-manager for
the last fifteen years.
As Sanchez described it, "I
spotted the empty building and
asked the manager if I could see
it. Once inside I saw what I
could do with it.
"I saw areas that could be used
for boxing, karate, weight lifting
and recreation in this empty
building."
Gil didn't stop at just envisioning uses for the building. He put
his resources together, which
initially amount e ct to about
$3,500, and opened what is now
known as the Fresno Athletic
Gym.
"The gym, which borderlines
West Fresno and · the downtown
area, is located at 1921 Tuolumne and is open to the public,,,
said Sanchez.
The basic purpose of the gym
was to provide a recreational
center for minority kids, to give
them a place to go and do something constructive with their
spare time, said the boxing
trainer.
The boxing gym is totally nonprofit, according to Sanchez.Operating expenses come to about
$450 a month and these expenses
are met -by renting out the various spaces within the building.
The occupants of the building
include the karate school which
is operated by Mike McCoy, boxing facilities handled by Sanchez,
two business offices that cater to
the Chicano community, and
space is available for weight-

Will LRS be departmentalized?
by Helen Gonzales
For some people May 1975
brings back the memories of
finishing the spring semester
and many crash hours of studying
for finals.
However, for many CSUF Chicanos it brings back memories
of cold nights spent camped in
front of the Thomas AdministraUon Building or the threatened
resignation of all La Raza Studies
instructors.
·
The non-violent demonstration
was held last May 1975 against
the policies of campus administrators, chiefly CSUF President
Norman Baxter. It centered
around five issues.
A brief summary of each includes: 1) Departmentalization of
La Raza Studies. La Ra z a
Studies, after years of preparation, had met all the requirements for departmentalization in
1975. The administration then inserted an additional requirement
which made departmentalization
virhlally impossible for La Raza
Studies for five years.
2) Asian-American Students
were excluded from the selection
process of hiring faculty for their
program. Also, otberdepartment
representatives were makingdecisions affecting students with no
student input.
3) The School of Education had
only one minority faculty member and, it was charged, the
School's curriculum was not sensitive to ethnic groups. CHE
(Chicanos in E du c a ti o n , a
MECHA committee) had heen ·
trying to obtain statistical data
related to the number of Chicanos in the School of Education,
the number of Chicano instruc- .
tors and the number of courses
relating to the Chicano child.
Repeated efforts to obtain this
inform a ti on from then-Dean
Ralph Evans, Academic VicePresident Swanson and President
Baxter had been unsuccessful.
4) Affirmative Action Parity
taking place in employment for
minorities is required by federal
law. The only parity shown for
'.fhird World People at CSUF
was in their representation at
the lowest classification of faculty employment.
5) Associated S tu d en t Body
elections were, the protesters
charged, another example ofdiscrimination. In 1974, nine minority slate candidates won most
of the ASB Senate positions and
the presidency. A series of protests were lodged, one citing six
ballots more than there were
signatures. As a result, the election was invalidated by the CSUF
administration.
In 1975 an Anglo slate won
most of the Senate positions and
the presidency. Chicanos lodged
a series of valid protests, one
citing 30 more hallots than there
were signatures. However, this
time the administration refused
to invalidate the election results.
After a week of negut1atio11s,
agreements had · heen made between Chicano students, faculty
and CSU1'' administrators. Re·sults included:
1) Departmentalization - La

However, the issue ot departmentalization must be brought up
once more. According to the
CSU F administration, no such
agreement for departmentalization exi_s ts this year. La Raza
Studies, although functioning totally as a department, retains the
status of a •program.• The reason - a lack of three tenured
faculty, the same stipulation that
halted La Raza Studies from becoming a department last year!
Tenure is obtained after a faculty member with a terminal degree or its equivalent has taught
as an associate professor for at
least three years. This criteria
has been a "protective means"
for CSUF administrators to deny
La Raza Studies its well-deserved status as a department.
However, before the recent
changes of criteria for departmentalization, the CSUF administration had granted departmen- .
talization to a program with only
two faculty members.
La Raza Studies has a faculty
of 12 instructors, some part
time, a program coordinator,
clerical staff and an allocated
budget from CSUF. The administration cannot use the argument
that departmentalization of LRS
would be costly to CSUF.
But no more money would be
needed if La Raza Studies was
to become a department. Departmentalization could be a

The musical, blending the popular Chicano theatrics of the

"I've always wanted to see a

Solano. "It shows that we're not

trying to make a few lousy bucks.
As far as 1 know, this ls the

The performance consists of

means of dispersing Chicano faculty and LRS program.
We must question President
Baxter on his list of priorities
when we see one of his "projects" for the betterment ofCSUF
is building a football stadium.
He still hasn't settled last year's
issue - departmentalization.
If every Chicano or interested
student took a La Raza Studies
course there would be over 1400
students in the program. The
CSUF administration would "handle" the status of departmentalization regardless of criteria!
Through your support as a Chicano or interested student, ·La

Teatro perpetuates Chicano experience
by Tom Uribes
•perpetuating the Chicano experience through art" is one of
many intentions of El Teatro
Espiritu says La Raza Studies
coordinator Alex Saragoza.
Listed as La Raza 131, the
class in Chicano Theatre is one
of many offered by La Raza
studies that has as its goal the
teaching and preservation of Chicano culture, said Saragoza.
Saragoza heavily stresses student directions of productions.
This is where student director
Frank Riojas comes into the picture.
Riojas, who picked up some of
his skills from workshops sponsored by El Teatro Campesino,
explained that in El Teatro Espiritu, the actor specializes in
taking on the spirit of the characters involved - and at times
ad-libbing lines as the feeling
inspires.
"Through Teatro we try to
convey the injustices that La
Raza has endured," said the student director. "Hopefully one of
the things that will come out of
the class is that students will go
out and teach Teatro workshops,"
stressed the CSUF junior.
Presently, Saragoza and Riojas
are concentrating their efforts on
a tentative eight-day tour that
may take the Teatro to Washington and Idaho.
"Born when the surge of Chicano Teatros followed the emergence of the original Teatro, 'El
Teatro Cam pesino,' the class has
been in the school curriculum
since 1969," said Riojas.
The successful impact of El
Teatro Campesino showed our
p e o p le their situation in the
American society, continued the
husky student director,
It is with that realization in
mind that El Teatro Espiritu
directs its energies, exposing
the economic situation of our
people in the barrios, the racism
in our cities and in the educational system, agreed both Riojas and Saragoza.
·
"One of the biggest benefits for
the community is not only to
communicate the concerns of
Chicanos to non-Chicanos through
teatros, but simultaneously to
raise the consciousness level of
the Chicano community within
itself," said Saragoza.
"Through teatro, people can
actually see what's happening,
they get emotionally involved and
can identify with the action,"
Riojas said.
He added teatro can be more
effective than a speaker or a

REVIEW
Fender overnight Sensation?
by Mario Galvan
With fifteen years of struggle
and hardship tucked under his
belt, Freddie Fender, with his
charming blend of English and
Spanish lyrics interwoven in his
records, has become an overnight sensation.
Fender has been known
throughout the Southwest and
Mexico for the past 15 years
without really •making it in the
industry." It wasn't until his hit
single "Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" that Fender became visible to the public eye.
" And now with his •wasted Days
and Wasted Nights" he is still
climbing the charts to become one
of the most sought-after talents
in the industry. This Chicano has
now, after years of torment and
discrimination, reached the upper echelons of success.
So how is it that this Chicano
achieved a place among the greats
of the recording industry in this
Anglo-oriented society? Has his
sudden success deadened his sensitivity to the rest of "La.Raza"?
Freddie Fender was born in San
Benito, Texas, some 38 years ago
and christened Baldemar Huerta.
At the age of 1o he began singing,
learning his distinctive country
blues guitar by the time he was
11 and going on to join the Marines at the age of 16. Upon completing his tour of duty in 1956,
Fender and his comllo hit the Texas beer joint trail.
For the next four years Fender
recorded with several small labels, appealing mostly to the
Spanish audience. Especially enjoyable was his Spanish version
of Elvis Presley's ''Don't Be
Cruel."
Then in 1960 came the start of
a tragic experience. Fender was ·
playing in Baton Rouge "when the
police came up on the bandstand
and busted me for grass. They
found ome seeds in the house I
was staying in and I ended up with
five years in jail. I served three,
played my music on weekends and
when I got outl continued to play."
After his ordeal with the law,
Fender played for the next eight
years throughout the Southwest,
making himself something of a
local legend. By 1971 he added
a little more to his life by enrolling in college and studying sociology, planning to work with juveniles and ex-cons.
"Since I'd been in the pen, I
figured nobody was in
better.
position than me to do that kind
of thing," Fender said.
That same year Huey P. Meaux,
the legendary Texas producer,
realized the extreme artistic
sensitivity and tremendous talent
within Freddie Fender. From
that point on, the two began what
was to be a three-year building
process in which this Chicano
would relay his message through
the best vehicle he knew, his
songs.
a
LPswere cut onMeaux'sCrazy
Cajun and Starflite labels and in
1974 •Before the Next Teardrop
Falls" was released. Dot Recording picked it up later and the
rest is history.
Fender has remained unaffected by his tremendous success.
He still likes simple rock, and
will not abandon the blend of English ancf Spanish lyrics he was
doing long before he became the
sensation he is now. His music
is a wonderful mix of blues, rock,
soul, country and, of course, Latin with a tinge of AMOR.
To many, Fender has become
the guiding light in a dark and
lifeless tunnel. They say his music, Chicano-country, has been
created to depict a new era in the
history of the brown people in
this labeled "free" country.
His success and the fact that
Freddie Fender is Chicano all a<ld
to the thought that even the downgraded "Raza" can beat the discrimination of this society.
Freddie Fender depicts a uew
type of Chicano. Not a political
one, but rather a creative one that
has imbedded within himself the
Aztec characteristic of pride.
Pride in oneself and one's ability.
Truly to emphasize the fact
"Si se puede."
