Joe Haro: 'fighting for principles'
by Mario Galvan
Joe Haro, former metal shop
instructor at Sequoia Junior High,
developed projects which were
both educational and within the
financial realm of his students this sensitivity led to his dismissal from that institution of
learning.
•1 don't believe that it should
be a handicap not to have any
money for projects, so we used
cans, spoons, forks, and other
items given to us by the cafeteria
for use in creating imaginative
projects," said the wronged educator.
The final outcome of these raw
materials was fine jewelry, decorative chains, candle holders,
and various other kinds of sculptures, stated the instructor.
"I made them utilize tools they
would hever use," said Haro. "We
cut and shaped the metal to suit
the imagination of the student."
As a result, Joe Haro received
criticism from administrators as
well as his peers, who wanted
Haro to charge for materials.
"This is a poverty area, I've
gone into homes that didn't have
enough to eat and they expected
me to charge the kids for the
materials used in shop,• said
Haro.
It was from these visits to
homes of students that Haro developed a "rap• with many families.
"I didn't go visit a poor house,
I went to visit friends. I employed a positive attitude towards
kids as well as the parents,"
said the concerned instructor.
Haro feels that the instructor
should work with the parent as
well as the student, allowing
him to be more sensitive to the
needs of the student, in this
case the Chicano student.
"I've always emphasized respect," said Haro. "I was willing
to lend an ear and most of the
time they just wanted someone
to talk to and listen to their problems," he added.
The results of these visits and
the concern for his students was
the basis for the popularity he
receiveil.
"When the 600 kids walked out
in protest of my dismissal, I felt
that I was reaching them," he
said,
Haro, now an angry man in the
midst of fighting for what he
thinks is right, will be going to
battle in the Superior Court of
Fresno on Dec. 19.
•r want to win for the simple
reason that _I can get my position
back, if I want it; also to prove
to them (administration) that they
were wrong/ said Haro.
"I am fighting for a principle,
and they want to make me an
example," he said. "Yo no les
tengo miedo y pienso pelear hasta
el fin.

Parlier
Lame-duck superintendent foiled by concerned citizens
by Ramon Perez
Parlier Affairs Writer
Residents of the Parlier Unified School District are seeking
to cut short the already shorttime term of it's •tame-duck"
superintendent.
Ben Tamez, a CSUF senior
and spokesman for two Parlier
citizens' groups which were instrumental in having the school
board refuse to renew Wright's
contract with the district, said
several groups were asking the
board to suspend the superintendent,
Tamez said the superintendent
had overstepped his bounds by
asking three state educational
groups to hold an investigation
into relations between the district, community and faculty.
The three groups, represented
by a member each from the
California Teachers Association,
The Association of California
School Administrators, and the
Califo •.1ia School Boards Asso. elation, were scheduled to begin
interviewing parents, adminis-
trators, teachers and trustees
concerning district and community relations on Tuesday morning.
However, before the threemember investigative panel was
able to begin, . they were confronted by Tamez and other representatives from parents and
the community complaining the
investigation was improper because it had not been legally
authorized by the school board.
Supt. Wright, whose contract
has been terminated effective in
June, has alleged all five school
board trustees at the Monday
night meeting said they would
welcome the state groups' investigation.
However, Tamez said, the people on the three member panel
told him the only correspondence
they had was a letter from Wright
asking tr.e school board's association to form a team to analyze
district affairs. Tamez said the
letter was sent on Sept. 16 and
was signed only by Wright and
not the board.
Tamez and School Board
Trustee Tony Munoz said the
issue of the investigating panel
was not discussed until a special
board meeting called on Monday
night by Wright, They said the
. meeting was called as an executive session to discuss personnel
matters. But Munoz said other
matters, including the visiting
panel and affirmative action policies were discussed.
The panel issued a letter addressed to the superintendent, the
district and concern~d community members, outlining their
stand on the issue of outside investigators.
In the letter they said they
would not return to Parlier until they were assured they were
asked by the governing board.
The letter said since the board
minutes did not include any action on a request outlining any
specific service, the team would
have to postpone its meeting,
and would return only if requested
and a specific outline for the
team to consider was given, said
Tamez.
A LAME DUCK'S REVENGE?

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
COMMENTARY
Teresa: 'people-oriented views'
The decision to seek political
office came after working on
several local campaigns and
speaking on · behalf of many political candidates, said Perez
during one of several interviews
with La Voz.
Now Perez is speaking for herself and voicing her concerns to
the residents of District three,
hoping that these concerns will
help them decide which candidate
is actually their candidate.
"I have to offer my experience,
my background in people kind of
things. I want to provide a funnel
for people qriented issues, things
which relate to the third dis, trict," said the candidate and
mother of seven.
by Ernesto Moreno
Between the hours of 9:00 and
11:00 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9,
Theresa Perez will find out how
effective her candidacy for a
Supervisorial seat in District
three has been.
Perez, a CSUF La Raza Studies
instructor, has put in many long
and hard hours of work in her
effort to gain the county seat.
For many people the effect of
these strenuous hours would have
taken their toll a long time ago.
But in looking at and talking
with the optimistic candidate, one
still finds the everlasting smile
and concerned attitude that she
has retained since becoming involved with community affah .;.
There have been many benefit
functions held in her honor in
Fresno County, displaying how
the community has accepted her
candidacy for the Fresno County
Board of Supervisors seat.
People can relate to Perez
because they find that she relates
, to them, she is aware of the many
problems faced by the comm unity
whether they are social or economical, and she is willing to
deal with them.
"We are still seeking volunteers to help in various aspects
of the campaign, and anyone
wishing to help can contact the
campaign headquarters by phoning 233-4451 or by going to the
headquarters at 1020 Divisa-
dero, • said the CSUF instructor.
Whether one volunteers one
hour of their time or donates one
dollar to her campaign, Perez
displays her appreciation of their
effort.
In essence, whatever the outcome of December 9, there will
be many winners, those who have
come into contact with Theresa
Perez will find this out, and when
they do, they will have gained
much from experiencing that
contact.
Theresa has shown this whether she is helping a student,
speaking to a group of citizens,
or becoming involved with a community issue . . • in essence,
Theresa Perez does care.

THE DAILY COLLEGiAN...:.3
by Angle Rios
A plea for aid for two political
prisoners in Lamont, California,
was heard at a recent MECHA
meeting when the brother of one
of the men spoke asking for support for two Chicanos lnvolvedin
a struggle against the system.
Ernesto Flores spoke at the
Nov. 20 meeting of Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan
(MECHA) to inform people of
what he called the injustice perpetrated against two carnales
active in el movimiento in the
Kern County town with a population of 81 000 persons, and, said
Flores, about 50 per cent Chicano,
A Chicano candidate for the
Lamont School Board and a campaign worker were convicted of
violating the state's election
code.
Ricardo Flores, 24, Ernesto's
brother, and Guillermo Cal ban,
21, were sentenced to six months
each in the Kern County jail.
The two men are currently having attorneys file an appeal in
an effort to overturn the Bakersfield M,micipal Court sentences.
However, the attorneys hired
for the appeal say there appears
little ehance of the men's sentem:es ever being overturned.
Both the attorney that handled
the initial trial and the one hired
,or the appeal have said they see
no recourse left to the two carnales.
"Lamont is another example
of the racism and injustices that
small communities have encountered," said Flores.
"The community ofLamonthas
been faced with many problems
in the past, this was the reason
why we organized the 'Chicanos Unidos for Barrio Action
(CUBA)'," said Flores.
He added the purpose of the
organization is to createChl '
awareness among La Ra:..
order to promote self-dete,
nation, self-concept, and a r
tive self-image among La IFlores closed his appeal by
requesting MECHA support the
two carnales. "They are victims
of political oppression who have
been punished for speaking out,•
said Flores.
A motion was passed at the
MECHA meeting to write a letter
of support in care of The Aztlan
Book Center.
Anyone interested in writing a
letter of support, sending a donation, or receiving more information may do so by wrlting to

Nominations for MECHA's
spring semester executive officers will take place at tomorrow's weekly meeting in the Cafeteria's International Room at
12:30 p.m.
Elections are scheduled for
December 9 and 10, said Election
Committee chairperson Richard
Carrillo.
Available are all executive offices : president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms .
Current president Anna Noriega said Monday she will not
seek re-election to her position.
ELECTION CODE APPROVED
The action materializes as a
result of the approval of a ME CHA
Election Code at the weekly meet-
ing prior to Thanksgiving vacation.
Nomination, wlll open and
close at tom:,: row's meeting at
which time candidates may formally declare their campaign
statements, according to Carrillo.
The Code's principal author,
CSUF student senator Luis Am-briz, said it is the first detailed
guide for Fresno's MECHA toward updating the present constitutuion.
The code came to the MECHA
body two weeks ago and was tabled pending general review for
Chicano students to make suggestions. It was passed nearly
unanimously last week with a few
changes.
Ambriz said they would have
allowed more time for campaigning but ran into a "time squeeze."
•Next semester, we'll have the
thing stretched out and strategized for proper publicity," he
said.
In addition to allowing for its
annual review, campaign and
election procedures, polling, ballot counting, protests and writeins, the code instructs the Elections Committee to conduct the
elections.
Selected at that same MECHA
meeting to serve were representatives - at - large freshman
David Gomez and junior RayMarquez as well as Political Committee members Ambriz, Carrillo, and Angie Rios.
The Election Code is printed
in its entirety in today's La Yoz.

Joe Haro, former metal shop
instructor at Sequoia Junior High,
developed projects which were
both educational and within the
financial realm of his students this sensitivity led to his dismissal from that institution of
learning.
•1 don't believe that it should
be a handicap not to have any
money for projects, so we used
cans, spoons, forks, and other
items given to us by the cafeteria
for use in creating imaginative
projects," said the wronged educator.
The final outcome of these raw
materials was fine jewelry, decorative chains, candle holders,
and various other kinds of sculptures, stated the instructor.
"I made them utilize tools they
would hever use," said Haro. "We
cut and shaped the metal to suit
the imagination of the student."
As a result, Joe Haro received
criticism from administrators as
well as his peers, who wanted
Haro to charge for materials.
"This is a poverty area, I've
gone into homes that didn't have
enough to eat and they expected
me to charge the kids for the
materials used in shop,• said
Haro.
It was from these visits to
homes of students that Haro developed a "rap• with many families.
"I didn't go visit a poor house,
I went to visit friends. I employed a positive attitude towards
kids as well as the parents,"
said the concerned instructor.
Haro feels that the instructor
should work with the parent as
well as the student, allowing
him to be more sensitive to the
needs of the student, in this
case the Chicano student.
"I've always emphasized respect," said Haro. "I was willing
to lend an ear and most of the
time they just wanted someone
to talk to and listen to their problems," he added.
The results of these visits and
the concern for his students was
the basis for the popularity he
receiveil.
"When the 600 kids walked out
in protest of my dismissal, I felt
that I was reaching them," he
said,
Haro, now an angry man in the
midst of fighting for what he
thinks is right, will be going to
battle in the Superior Court of
Fresno on Dec. 19.
•r want to win for the simple
reason that _I can get my position
back, if I want it; also to prove
to them (administration) that they
were wrong/ said Haro.
"I am fighting for a principle,
and they want to make me an
example," he said. "Yo no les

Parlier
Lame-duck superintendent foiled by concerned citizens
by Ramon Perez
Parlier Affairs Writer
Residents of the Parlier Unified School District are seeking
to cut short the already shorttime term of it's •tame-duck"
superintendent.
Ben Tamez, a CSUF senior
and spokesman for two Parlier
citizens' groups which were instrumental in having the school
board refuse to renew Wright's
contract with the district, said
several groups were asking the
board to suspend the superintendent,
Tamez said the superintendent
had overstepped his bounds by
asking three state educational
groups to hold an investigation
into relations between the district, community and faculty.
The three groups, represented
by a member each from the
California Teachers Association,
The Association of California
School Administrators, and the
Califo •.1ia School Boards Asso. elation, were scheduled to begin
interviewing parents, adminis-
trators, teachers and trustees
concerning district and community relations on Tuesday morning.
However, before the threemember investigative panel was
able to begin, . they were confronted by Tamez and other representatives from parents and
the community complaining the
investigation was improper because it had not been legally
authorized by the school board.
Supt. Wright, whose contract
has been terminated effective in
June, has alleged all five school
board trustees at the Monday
night meeting said they would
welcome the state groups' investigation.
However, Tamez said, the people on the three member panel
told him the only correspondence
they had was a letter from Wright
asking tr.e school board's association to form a team to analyze
district affairs. Tamez said the
letter was sent on Sept. 16 and
was signed only by Wright and
not the board.
Tamez and School Board
Trustee Tony Munoz said the
issue of the investigating panel
was not discussed until a special
board meeting called on Monday
night by Wright, They said the
. meeting was called as an executive session to discuss personnel
matters. But Munoz said other
matters, including the visiting
panel and affirmative action policies were discussed.
The panel issued a letter addressed to the superintendent, the
district and concern~d community members, outlining their
stand on the issue of outside investigators.
In the letter they said they
would not return to Parlier until they were assured they were
asked by the governing board.
The letter said since the board
minutes did not include any action on a request outlining any
specific service, the team would
have to postpone its meeting,
and would return only if requested
and a specific outline for the
team to consider was given, said
Tamez.
A LAME DUCK'S REVENGE?

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
COMMENTARY
Teresa: 'people-oriented views'
The decision to seek political
office came after working on
several local campaigns and
speaking on · behalf of many political candidates, said Perez
during one of several interviews
with La Voz.
Now Perez is speaking for herself and voicing her concerns to
the residents of District three,
hoping that these concerns will
help them decide which candidate
is actually their candidate.
"I have to offer my experience,
my background in people kind of
things. I want to provide a funnel
for people qriented issues, things
which relate to the third dis, trict," said the candidate and
mother of seven.
by Ernesto Moreno
Between the hours of 9:00 and
11:00 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9,
Theresa Perez will find out how
effective her candidacy for a
Supervisorial seat in District
three has been.
Perez, a CSUF La Raza Studies
instructor, has put in many long
and hard hours of work in her
effort to gain the county seat.
For many people the effect of
these strenuous hours would have
taken their toll a long time ago.
But in looking at and talking
with the optimistic candidate, one
still finds the everlasting smile
and concerned attitude that she
has retained since becoming involved with community affah .;.
There have been many benefit
functions held in her honor in
Fresno County, displaying how
the community has accepted her
candidacy for the Fresno County
Board of Supervisors seat.
People can relate to Perez
because they find that she relates
, to them, she is aware of the many
problems faced by the comm unity
whether they are social or economical, and she is willing to
deal with them.
"We are still seeking volunteers to help in various aspects
of the campaign, and anyone
wishing to help can contact the
campaign headquarters by phoning 233-4451 or by going to the
headquarters at 1020 Divisa-
dero, • said the CSUF instructor.
Whether one volunteers one
hour of their time or donates one
dollar to her campaign, Perez
displays her appreciation of their
effort.
In essence, whatever the outcome of December 9, there will
be many winners, those who have
come into contact with Theresa
Perez will find this out, and when
they do, they will have gained
much from experiencing that
contact.
Theresa has shown this whether she is helping a student,
speaking to a group of citizens,
or becoming involved with a community issue . . • in essence,
Theresa Perez does care.

On Saturday, Dec. 13, TACOMA, the Television Advisory
Committee of Mexican-Americans, will be hosting a Media
Workshop.
The intent of the workshop,
said TACOMA chairman Paublo
Rivera, is to give the community
an updated report of TACOMA
activities regarding the media.
Subjects presented at the workshop will include the history and
goals of TACOMA, community
access to the media, federal
regulations governing the media,
community participation, public
service announcements, and TACOMA Productions (La Comunidad del Valle and Noticias En
Total), and ETV (Educational
television channel 18), said Rivera.
Ri,·qra feels that there is a
defk!te need fo r more Chicanos
to participate within the media.
This parti cipation will give the
Spanish-speaking community an
opportunity to voice their concerns on the type cl programming that is being shown.
The wo rkshop, said the chairman, is another opportunity for
the Chicano community to find out
more about the ma ss media. It
will be a me ans of informing the
.:ommunity and making them
aware that they can provide and
suggest ideas that deal with the
Spanish-speaking.
Anyone desiring further information concerning the Media
Workshop can phone El Concilio
de Fresno at 233-3376 after 1

THE DAILY COLLEGiAN...:.3
by Angle Rios
A plea for aid for two political
prisoners in Lamont, California,
was heard at a recent MECHA
meeting when the brother of one
of the men spoke asking for support for two Chicanos lnvolvedin
a struggle against the system.
Ernesto Flores spoke at the
Nov. 20 meeting of Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan
(MECHA) to inform people of
what he called the injustice perpetrated against two carnales
active in el movimiento in the
Kern County town with a population of 81 000 persons, and, said
Flores, about 50 per cent Chicano,
A Chicano candidate for the
Lamont School Board and a campaign worker were convicted of
violating the state's election
code.
Ricardo Flores, 24, Ernesto's
brother, and Guillermo Cal ban,
21, were sentenced to six months
each in the Kern County jail.
The two men are currently having attorneys file an appeal in
an effort to overturn the Bakersfield M,micipal Court sentences.
However, the attorneys hired
for the appeal say there appears
little ehance of the men's sentem:es ever being overturned.
Both the attorney that handled
the initial trial and the one hired
,or the appeal have said they see
no recourse left to the two carnales.
"Lamont is another example
of the racism and injustices that
small communities have encountered," said Flores.
"The community ofLamonthas
been faced with many problems
in the past, this was the reason
why we organized the 'Chicanos Unidos for Barrio Action
(CUBA)'," said Flores.
He added the purpose of the
organization is to createChl '
awareness among La Ra:..
order to promote self-dete,
nation, self-concept, and a r
tive self-image among La IFlores closed his appeal by
requesting MECHA support the
two carnales. "They are victims
of political oppression who have
been punished for speaking out,•
said Flores.
A motion was passed at the
MECHA meeting to write a letter
of support in care of The Aztlan
Book Center.
Anyone interested in writing a
letter of support, sending a donation, or receiving more information may do so by wrlting to
The Aztlan Book Center. P.O.

MECHA officer nominations
for politica I prisoners
Nominations for MECHA's
spring semester executive officers will take place at tomorrow's weekly meeting in the Cafeteria's International Room at
12:30 p.m.
Elections are scheduled for
December 9 and 10, said Election
Committee chairperson Richard
Carrillo.
Available are all executive offices : president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms .
Current president Anna Noriega said Monday she will not
seek re-election to her position.
ELECTION CODE APPROVED
The action materializes as a
result of the approval of a ME CHA
Election Code at the weekly meet-
ing prior to Thanksgiving vacation.
Nomination, wlll open and
close at tom:,: row's meeting at
which time candidates may formally declare their campaign
statements, according to Carrillo.
The Code's principal author,
CSUF student senator Luis Am-briz, said it is the first detailed
guide for Fresno's MECHA toward updating the present constitutuion.
The code came to the MECHA
body two weeks ago and was tabled pending general review for
Chicano students to make suggestions. It was passed nearly
unanimously last week with a few
changes.
Ambriz said they would have
allowed more time for campaigning but ran into a "time squeeze."
•Next semester, we'll have the
thing stretched out and strategized for proper publicity," he
said.
In addition to allowing for its
annual review, campaign and
election procedures, polling, ballot counting, protests and writeins, the code instructs the Elections Committee to conduct the
elections.
Selected at that same MECHA
meeting to serve were representatives - at - large freshman
David Gomez and junior RayMarquez as well as Political Committee members Ambriz, Carrillo, and Angie Rios.
The Election Code is printed
in its entirety in today's La Yoz.

serve all minority students," said
Olivas. "It is called Chicano
Youth Conference because it's
sponsored by the CSUF Chicano
community."

college students who are interested in transferring to CSUF
but the main drive is to reach
the high school student.
·•we're trying to inform the

Joe Haro: 'fighting for principles'
by Mario Galvan
Joe Haro, former metal shop
instructor at Sequoia Junior High,
developed projects which were
both educational and within the
financial realm of his students this sensitivity led to his dismissal from that institution of
learning.
•1 don't believe that it should
be a handicap not to have any
money for projects, so we used
cans, spoons, forks, and other
items given to us by the cafeteria
for use in creating imaginative
projects," said the wronged educator.
The final outcome of these raw
materials was fine jewelry, decorative chains, candle holders,
and various other kinds of sculptures, stated the instructor.
"I made them utilize tools they
would hever use," said Haro. "We
cut and shaped the metal to suit
the imagination of the student."
As a result, Joe Haro received
criticism from administrators as
well as his peers, who wanted
Haro to charge for materials.
"This is a poverty area, I've
gone into homes that didn't have
enough to eat and they expected
me to charge the kids for the
materials used in shop,• said
Haro.
It was from these visits to
homes of students that Haro developed a "rap• with many families.
"I didn't go visit a poor house,
I went to visit friends. I employed a positive attitude towards
kids as well as the parents,"
said the concerned instructor.
Haro feels that the instructor
should work with the parent as
well as the student, allowing
him to be more sensitive to the
needs of the student, in this
case the Chicano student.
"I've always emphasized respect," said Haro. "I was willing
to lend an ear and most of the
time they just wanted someone
to talk to and listen to their problems," he added.
The results of these visits and
the concern for his students was
the basis for the popularity he
receiveil.
"When the 600 kids walked out
in protest of my dismissal, I felt
that I was reaching them," he
said,
Haro, now an angry man in the
midst of fighting for what he
thinks is right, will be going to
battle in the Superior Court of
Fresno on Dec. 19.
•r want to win for the simple
reason that _I can get my position
back, if I want it; also to prove
to them (administration) that they
were wrong/ said Haro.
"I am fighting for a principle,
and they want to make me an
example," he said. "Yo no les
tengo miedo y pienso pelear hasta
el fin.

Parlier
Lame-duck superintendent foiled by concerned citizens
by Ramon Perez
Parlier Affairs Writer
Residents of the Parlier Unified School District are seeking
to cut short the already shorttime term of it's •tame-duck"
superintendent.
Ben Tamez, a CSUF senior
and spokesman for two Parlier
citizens' groups which were instrumental in having the school
board refuse to renew Wright's
contract with the district, said
several groups were asking the
board to suspend the superintendent,
Tamez said the superintendent
had overstepped his bounds by
asking three state educational
groups to hold an investigation
into relations between the district, community and faculty.
The three groups, represented
by a member each from the
California Teachers Association,
The Association of California
School Administrators, and the
Califo •.1ia School Boards Asso. elation, were scheduled to begin
interviewing parents, adminis-
trators, teachers and trustees
concerning district and community relations on Tuesday morning.
However, before the threemember investigative panel was
able to begin, . they were confronted by Tamez and other representatives from parents and
the community complaining the
investigation was improper because it had not been legally
authorized by the school board.
Supt. Wright, whose contract
has been terminated effective in
June, has alleged all five school
board trustees at the Monday
night meeting said they would
welcome the state groups' investigation.
However, Tamez said, the people on the three member panel
told him the only correspondence
they had was a letter from Wright
asking tr.e school board's association to form a team to analyze
district affairs. Tamez said the
letter was sent on Sept. 16 and
was signed only by Wright and
not the board.
Tamez and School Board
Trustee Tony Munoz said the
issue of the investigating panel
was not discussed until a special
board meeting called on Monday
night by Wright, They said the
. meeting was called as an executive session to discuss personnel
matters. But Munoz said other
matters, including the visiting
panel and affirmative action policies were discussed.
The panel issued a letter addressed to the superintendent, the
district and concern~d community members, outlining their
stand on the issue of outside investigators.
In the letter they said they
would not return to Parlier until they were assured they were
asked by the governing board.
The letter said since the board
minutes did not include any action on a request outlining any
specific service, the team would
have to postpone its meeting,
and would return only if requested
and a specific outline for the
team to consider was given, said
Tamez.
A LAME DUCK'S REVENGE?

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
COMMENTARY
Teresa: 'people-oriented views'
The decision to seek political
office came after working on
several local campaigns and
speaking on · behalf of many political candidates, said Perez
during one of several interviews
with La Voz.
Now Perez is speaking for herself and voicing her concerns to
the residents of District three,
hoping that these concerns will
help them decide which candidate
is actually their candidate.
"I have to offer my experience,
my background in people kind of
things. I want to provide a funnel
for people qriented issues, things
which relate to the third dis, trict," said the candidate and
mother of seven.
by Ernesto Moreno
Between the hours of 9:00 and
11:00 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9,
Theresa Perez will find out how
effective her candidacy for a
Supervisorial seat in District
three has been.
Perez, a CSUF La Raza Studies
instructor, has put in many long
and hard hours of work in her
effort to gain the county seat.
For many people the effect of
these strenuous hours would have
taken their toll a long time ago.
But in looking at and talking
with the optimistic candidate, one
still finds the everlasting smile
and concerned attitude that she
has retained since becoming involved with community affah .;.
There have been many benefit
functions held in her honor in
Fresno County, displaying how
the community has accepted her
candidacy for the Fresno County
Board of Supervisors seat.
People can relate to Perez
because they find that she relates
, to them, she is aware of the many
problems faced by the comm unity
whether they are social or economical, and she is willing to
deal with them.
"We are still seeking volunteers to help in various aspects
of the campaign, and anyone
wishing to help can contact the
campaign headquarters by phoning 233-4451 or by going to the
headquarters at 1020 Divisa-
dero, • said the CSUF instructor.
Whether one volunteers one
hour of their time or donates one
dollar to her campaign, Perez
displays her appreciation of their
effort.
In essence, whatever the outcome of December 9, there will
be many winners, those who have
come into contact with Theresa
Perez will find this out, and when
they do, they will have gained
much from experiencing that
contact.
Theresa has shown this whether she is helping a student,
speaking to a group of citizens,
or becoming involved with a community issue . . • in essence,
Theresa Perez does care.

THE DAILY COLLEGiAN...:.3
by Angle Rios
A plea for aid for two political
prisoners in Lamont, California,
was heard at a recent MECHA
meeting when the brother of one
of the men spoke asking for support for two Chicanos lnvolvedin
a struggle against the system.
Ernesto Flores spoke at the
Nov. 20 meeting of Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan
(MECHA) to inform people of
what he called the injustice perpetrated against two carnales
active in el movimiento in the
Kern County town with a population of 81 000 persons, and, said
Flores, about 50 per cent Chicano,
A Chicano candidate for the
Lamont School Board and a campaign worker were convicted of
violating the state's election
code.
Ricardo Flores, 24, Ernesto's
brother, and Guillermo Cal ban,
21, were sentenced to six months
each in the Kern County jail.
The two men are currently having attorneys file an appeal in
an effort to overturn the Bakersfield M,micipal Court sentences.
However, the attorneys hired
for the appeal say there appears
little ehance of the men's sentem:es ever being overturned.
Both the attorney that handled
the initial trial and the one hired
,or the appeal have said they see
no recourse left to the two carnales.
"Lamont is another example
of the racism and injustices that
small communities have encountered," said Flores.
"The community ofLamonthas
been faced with many problems
in the past, this was the reason
why we organized the 'Chicanos Unidos for Barrio Action
(CUBA)'," said Flores.
He added the purpose of the
organization is to createChl '
awareness among La Ra:..
order to promote self-dete,
nation, self-concept, and a r
tive self-image among La IFlores closed his appeal by
requesting MECHA support the
two carnales. "They are victims
of political oppression who have
been punished for speaking out,•
said Flores.
A motion was passed at the
MECHA meeting to write a letter
of support in care of The Aztlan
Book Center.
Anyone interested in writing a
letter of support, sending a donation, or receiving more information may do so by wrlting to

Nominations for MECHA's
spring semester executive officers will take place at tomorrow's weekly meeting in the Cafeteria's International Room at
12:30 p.m.
Elections are scheduled for
December 9 and 10, said Election
Committee chairperson Richard
Carrillo.
Available are all executive offices : president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms .
Current president Anna Noriega said Monday she will not
seek re-election to her position.
ELECTION CODE APPROVED
The action materializes as a
result of the approval of a ME CHA
Election Code at the weekly meet-
ing prior to Thanksgiving vacation.
Nomination, wlll open and
close at tom:,: row's meeting at
which time candidates may formally declare their campaign
statements, according to Carrillo.
The Code's principal author,
CSUF student senator Luis Am-briz, said it is the first detailed
guide for Fresno's MECHA toward updating the present constitutuion.
The code came to the MECHA
body two weeks ago and was tabled pending general review for
Chicano students to make suggestions. It was passed nearly
unanimously last week with a few
changes.
Ambriz said they would have
allowed more time for campaigning but ran into a "time squeeze."
•Next semester, we'll have the
thing stretched out and strategized for proper publicity," he
said.
In addition to allowing for its
annual review, campaign and
election procedures, polling, ballot counting, protests and writeins, the code instructs the Elections Committee to conduct the
elections.
Selected at that same MECHA
meeting to serve were representatives - at - large freshman
David Gomez and junior RayMarquez as well as Political Committee members Ambriz, Carrillo, and Angie Rios.
The Election Code is printed
in its entirety in today's La Yoz.

Joe Haro, former metal shop
instructor at Sequoia Junior High,
developed projects which were
both educational and within the
financial realm of his students this sensitivity led to his dismissal from that institution of
learning.
•1 don't believe that it should
be a handicap not to have any
money for projects, so we used
cans, spoons, forks, and other
items given to us by the cafeteria
for use in creating imaginative
projects," said the wronged educator.
The final outcome of these raw
materials was fine jewelry, decorative chains, candle holders,
and various other kinds of sculptures, stated the instructor.
"I made them utilize tools they
would hever use," said Haro. "We
cut and shaped the metal to suit
the imagination of the student."
As a result, Joe Haro received
criticism from administrators as
well as his peers, who wanted
Haro to charge for materials.
"This is a poverty area, I've
gone into homes that didn't have
enough to eat and they expected
me to charge the kids for the
materials used in shop,• said
Haro.
It was from these visits to
homes of students that Haro developed a "rap• with many families.
"I didn't go visit a poor house,
I went to visit friends. I employed a positive attitude towards
kids as well as the parents,"
said the concerned instructor.
Haro feels that the instructor
should work with the parent as
well as the student, allowing
him to be more sensitive to the
needs of the student, in this
case the Chicano student.
"I've always emphasized respect," said Haro. "I was willing
to lend an ear and most of the
time they just wanted someone
to talk to and listen to their problems," he added.
The results of these visits and
the concern for his students was
the basis for the popularity he
receiveil.
"When the 600 kids walked out
in protest of my dismissal, I felt
that I was reaching them," he
said,
Haro, now an angry man in the
midst of fighting for what he
thinks is right, will be going to
battle in the Superior Court of
Fresno on Dec. 19.
•r want to win for the simple
reason that _I can get my position
back, if I want it; also to prove
to them (administration) that they
were wrong/ said Haro.
"I am fighting for a principle,
and they want to make me an
example," he said. "Yo no les

Parlier
Lame-duck superintendent foiled by concerned citizens
by Ramon Perez
Parlier Affairs Writer
Residents of the Parlier Unified School District are seeking
to cut short the already shorttime term of it's •tame-duck"
superintendent.
Ben Tamez, a CSUF senior
and spokesman for two Parlier
citizens' groups which were instrumental in having the school
board refuse to renew Wright's
contract with the district, said
several groups were asking the
board to suspend the superintendent,
Tamez said the superintendent
had overstepped his bounds by
asking three state educational
groups to hold an investigation
into relations between the district, community and faculty.
The three groups, represented
by a member each from the
California Teachers Association,
The Association of California
School Administrators, and the
Califo •.1ia School Boards Asso. elation, were scheduled to begin
interviewing parents, adminis-
trators, teachers and trustees
concerning district and community relations on Tuesday morning.
However, before the threemember investigative panel was
able to begin, . they were confronted by Tamez and other representatives from parents and
the community complaining the
investigation was improper because it had not been legally
authorized by the school board.
Supt. Wright, whose contract
has been terminated effective in
June, has alleged all five school
board trustees at the Monday
night meeting said they would
welcome the state groups' investigation.
However, Tamez said, the people on the three member panel
told him the only correspondence
they had was a letter from Wright
asking tr.e school board's association to form a team to analyze
district affairs. Tamez said the
letter was sent on Sept. 16 and
was signed only by Wright and
not the board.
Tamez and School Board
Trustee Tony Munoz said the
issue of the investigating panel
was not discussed until a special
board meeting called on Monday
night by Wright, They said the
. meeting was called as an executive session to discuss personnel
matters. But Munoz said other
matters, including the visiting
panel and affirmative action policies were discussed.
The panel issued a letter addressed to the superintendent, the
district and concern~d community members, outlining their
stand on the issue of outside investigators.
In the letter they said they
would not return to Parlier until they were assured they were
asked by the governing board.
The letter said since the board
minutes did not include any action on a request outlining any
specific service, the team would
have to postpone its meeting,
and would return only if requested
and a specific outline for the
team to consider was given, said
Tamez.
A LAME DUCK'S REVENGE?

2-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
COMMENTARY
Teresa: 'people-oriented views'
The decision to seek political
office came after working on
several local campaigns and
speaking on · behalf of many political candidates, said Perez
during one of several interviews
with La Voz.
Now Perez is speaking for herself and voicing her concerns to
the residents of District three,
hoping that these concerns will
help them decide which candidate
is actually their candidate.
"I have to offer my experience,
my background in people kind of
things. I want to provide a funnel
for people qriented issues, things
which relate to the third dis, trict," said the candidate and
mother of seven.
by Ernesto Moreno
Between the hours of 9:00 and
11:00 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9,
Theresa Perez will find out how
effective her candidacy for a
Supervisorial seat in District
three has been.
Perez, a CSUF La Raza Studies
instructor, has put in many long
and hard hours of work in her
effort to gain the county seat.
For many people the effect of
these strenuous hours would have
taken their toll a long time ago.
But in looking at and talking
with the optimistic candidate, one
still finds the everlasting smile
and concerned attitude that she
has retained since becoming involved with community affah .;.
There have been many benefit
functions held in her honor in
Fresno County, displaying how
the community has accepted her
candidacy for the Fresno County
Board of Supervisors seat.
People can relate to Perez
because they find that she relates
, to them, she is aware of the many
problems faced by the comm unity
whether they are social or economical, and she is willing to
deal with them.
"We are still seeking volunteers to help in various aspects
of the campaign, and anyone
wishing to help can contact the
campaign headquarters by phoning 233-4451 or by going to the
headquarters at 1020 Divisa-
dero, • said the CSUF instructor.
Whether one volunteers one
hour of their time or donates one
dollar to her campaign, Perez
displays her appreciation of their
effort.
In essence, whatever the outcome of December 9, there will
be many winners, those who have
come into contact with Theresa
Perez will find this out, and when
they do, they will have gained
much from experiencing that
contact.
Theresa has shown this whether she is helping a student,
speaking to a group of citizens,
or becoming involved with a community issue . . • in essence,
Theresa Perez does care.

A plea for aid for two political
prisoners in Lamont, California,
was heard at a recent MECHA
meeting when the brother of one
of the men spoke asking for support for two Chicanos lnvolvedin
a struggle against the system.
Ernesto Flores spoke at the
Nov. 20 meeting of Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan
(MECHA) to inform people of
what he called the injustice perpetrated against two carnales
active in el movimiento in the
Kern County town with a population of 81 000 persons, and, said
Flores, about 50 per cent Chicano,
A Chicano candidate for the
Lamont School Board and a campaign worker were convicted of
violating the state's election
code.
Ricardo Flores, 24, Ernesto's
brother, and Guillermo Cal ban,
21, were sentenced to six months
each in the Kern County jail.
The two men are currently having attorneys file an appeal in
an effort to overturn the Bakersfield M,micipal Court sentences.
However, the attorneys hired
for the appeal say there appears
little ehance of the men's sentem:es ever being overturned.
Both the attorney that handled
the initial trial and the one hired
,or the appeal have said they see
no recourse left to the two carnales.
"Lamont is another example
of the racism and injustices that
small communities have encountered," said Flores.
"The community ofLamonthas
been faced with many problems
in the past, this was the reason
why we organized the 'Chicanos Unidos for Barrio Action
(CUBA)'," said Flores.
He added the purpose of the
organization is to createChl '
awareness among La Ra:..
order to promote self-dete,
nation, self-concept, and a r
tive self-image among La IFlores closed his appeal by
requesting MECHA support the
two carnales. "They are victims
of political oppression who have

for politica I prisoners
Nominations for MECHA's
spring semester executive officers will take place at tomorrow's weekly meeting in the Cafeteria's International Room at
12:30 p.m.
Elections are scheduled for
December 9 and 10, said Election
Committee chairperson Richard
Carrillo.
Available are all executive offices : president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms .
Current president Anna Noriega said Monday she will not
seek re-election to her position.
ELECTION CODE APPROVED
The action materializes as a
result of the approval of a ME CHA
Election Code at the weekly meet-
ing prior to Thanksgiving vacation.
Nomination, wlll open and
close at tom:,: row's meeting at
which time candidates may formally declare their campaign
statements, according to Carrillo.
The Code's principal author,
CSUF student senator Luis Am-briz, said it is the first detailed
guide for Fresno's MECHA toward updating the present constitutuion.
The code came to the MECHA
body two weeks ago and was tabled pending general review for
Chicano students to make suggestions. It was passed nearly
unanimously last week with a few
changes.
Ambriz said they would have
allowed more time for campaigning but ran into a "time squeeze."
•Next semester, we'll have the
thing stretched out and strategized for proper publicity," he
said.
In addition to allowing for its
annual review, campaign and
election procedures, polling, ballot counting, protests and writeins, the code instructs the Elections Committee to conduct the
elections.
Selected at that same MECHA
meeting to serve were representatives - at - large freshman
David Gomez and junior RayMarquez as well as Political Committee members Ambriz, Carrillo, and Angie Rios.
The Election Code is printed
in its entirety in today's La Yoz.
