Demonstration .of solidarity toward La Causa and to other Chicanos will be the theme behind
"La Marcha de Unidad," said
Gloria Hernandez, president of
Las Adelitas.
The march, tobeheldonSaturday, April 17, will be a means
for various segments of the Spanish-speaking to focus attention on
problems encountered by the
Spanish-speaking within the San
Joaquin Valley.
These problems include such
things as unemployment, discrimination, the lack of educational opportunities for the Span-
ish-speaking, and the problem
of union busting.
There has been a com it e
formed to organize this comunal
event that will begin with a march
of more than two mile-s..to Fresno's Roeding .Park, beginning at
Dickey Playground which is located on the corner of Di vi&,idero
and Blackstone avenues, said the
fiery Chicana leader.
At present, the "Marcha" is
still in the planning stages.

If the rally gains support of
students, it will mark the first
Chicano demonstration since last
spring's controversy over the de:..
partmentalization of La Raza
Studies.
The CSUF chapter of T rabajadores de la Raza, a national Chicano social workers organization, is sponsoring the rally which
will take place in the Free Speech
Area and at the S<:hool of Social
Work from 12-2 p.m.
TR President Jesse Solis said
last week a formal complaint was
made to Dean Richard Ford asking why action has not been taken
<;>n concerns which Solis says TR
has expressed through an organization newsletter begun this year.
"We have a wide range of concerns that have been expressed,"
said Solis, "but we've never got
any feedback from the (SW) administration to rectify those
complaints."
In a circular drafted by TR,
the organization touches on five
concerns dealing basically with
affirmative action, the hiring
procedure within the school, the
selection process of Chicanos into the school, the recruitment of
Chicanos, and a lack of minority
curricula.
Solis said their newsletter,
which is pritited bi-weekly, has
been the only form of communication of the concerns to Ford,
who is sent every copy. Ford
acknowledged this yesterday in an
interview.
According to Solis, the rally,
in addition to instigating public
awareness, would be a public support for SW lecturer Luis Sosa,
whose lectureship is terminating
this year. Sosa's regular twoyear lectureship ended last year
but the school was able to obtain
a one-year exte_nsion with hopes
of a tenure-tract position opening
up, said Ford.
However, although two tracts
became available, they were taken away from the school by the
university because of a decrease
in full-time equivalency (FTE).
"We want ·to show Sosa the Chicano is behind' him and what he's
done for Chicanos," said Solis,
acknowledging that hls position
c:an no longer be saved for him.
In other areas, however, Solis
said TR is dissatisfied with the
School of Social Work, particularly in the hiring of an Anglo to
run the Rural Child Welfare Project.

The Extern a 1 Assessment
Team, which evaluates the School
of Education, will conduct a hearing tonight to receive student
opinions on the School's performance under the Ryan Act.
The team meets at 7 p.m. in
Ed-Psyche room 102.
Alfredo Alvarado, representative to the tea~ from Chicanos
in Higher Education (CHE), said
it is the first time that students
will be involved in evaluation of
their program.
He said students may discuss
the different aspects of the School
of Education, of~ering pros and
cons to its present status.
The evaluations are then reviewed by the Commission of
Teacher Preparation and Licensing which passes them on to be
considered for attention by the
School, and ultimately to be considered when the School renews
its credentials, according to Alvarado.
He str-:ssed the importance _of
minority Ryan candidate input at
tonight ' s meeting.
"This will give us a way to
participate in determining the
types of teachers this institution
will be sending out to teach our
Chicanitos," said Alvarado.

Republicans' opposition
shoo Id be· remembered
on Wendy
Two hundreds years ago Americans fought and died for selfdetermination. In this Bicentennial year, Republican members
of the California legislature are betraying that sacred legacy
by sabotaging the first law in U.S. history, guaranteeing American farm workers the right to vote in free elections. In this
post-Watergate era; Republican legislators -are excluding the
poorest of the poor from the democratic process. The men and
women who work the land - descendants of embattled farm
workers who fought tyranny two hundred years ago - are being
denied the most basic American freedom by representatives
of your party. Republican opposition to funding forCalifornia's
Agricultural Labor Relations Act is opposition to the right to
vote and opposition to the revolutionary heritage we celebrate
in 1976. The people will remember how Republicans acted
in this historic year.

!Para la raza unida, nada es imposible! With a new academic
year ahead of us, we Raza must remember that much of our
learning will not be done in the classrooms. Life will challenge us every day in ways and means that are not taught in
our classrooms with the cold, austere white walls.
We are the youth, the voice of the present and the conscience
of society. The will to strive for needed changes will come
from us. That need must be fulfilled in the community, schools,
the fields, and wherever Nuestra Raza is.
We Chicano students of Fresno State College vow that we
will never separate ourselves from the Chicano population in
this couhtry; we are brothers through the ties of consanguinity,
of suffering and injustices; and we feel there is more virtue
in suffering with our people ·for a just cause than there would
be in giving in to anything less.

The Wendy Yoshimura Fair
Trial Committee was formed in
November, 1975, by the Central
California District Council and
the Fresno Buddhist Church. The
Central · California committee
consists of members of the Jap- .
anese American Citizens League,
FI esno Buddhist Church memhers, and other community mem- .
hers. The committee was originally developed to raise bail for
Ms. Wendy Yoshimura and is not
a defense fund. The fund and the
committee do not presum·e the
innocence or guilt of Wendy Yoshimura, nor do they support her
political beliefs. They are merely instruments to aid in her legal
fees and to assure her a fair trial. Committee chapters have now
been raised in both northern and
sourthern California; to date,
$20,000 has been raised. In Fresno, members of the Fair Trial
Committee include Mike Iwatsubo
and Judge Mikio Uchiyama.

heard bits and pieces of the· past

Las ·voces speak out for a Chicano press
Jn an effort to obtain various Chicano student viewpoints on the
status of minority editions should the Daily Collegian merge with the
Journalism Department, La Voz de Aztlan past editor Ernesto Moreno
sampled some students on the matter. Herewith are some responses
he received to the query, "What do you think of the possible merger
of La Voz within the Journalism Department?"
· ·
is something I can relate to, and I feel it's really good that there is
a La Voz with Chicanos behind it. If we lose La Voz, we're going to
start losing a lot more of what we have struggled to achieve for the
Chicano on this campus."
REUBEN DE SANTIAGO, SOCIAL WELFARE MAJOR:
JUAN GARZA, HEALTH SCIENCE MAJOR:
People are viewing the possibility of a merger as a loss of community contact; in reality it may lead to more in the long run. If
Chicano students allow La Voz to merge, they'd be throwing down
the drain all that has been put into making the paper what it is. The
mere f~ct that there is a La Voz promotes a positive attitude within
the Chicano students on this campus, because it is their newspaper.
If there is a ·merger it may be Lie first step in doing away with
a nything that is Chicano oriented •.• in that if this can be done to
La Voz, which is a tool of the Chicano students, what will be next in
line .•• "La Raza Stt1dies?"
ALEJANDRO CONTRERAS, ENGLISH MAJOR, (&X-EDITOR LA
VOZ, FALL AND SPRING 1972):
/
I'm against it because I feel that it would impose censorship and
restraints on the policy of Chicano journalism that is now contained
within the structure of LA VOZ.
I will continue to oppose such a move until the Journalism Department can provide guidelines that would enable La Voz to continue
reporting news stories that are much needed and very relevant to
the Chicano on this campus. A merger without these guideli11es would
limit La Voz to rep,ortiug what t~e Journalism Department feels is
important, without any input and decision making from the Chicano
faction on this campus.
DARLENE JUAREZ, NURSING MAJOR:
If it's going to hur_t La Voz, I don't think it should happen. La Voz
I'd be against a merger because the Journalism Department would
censor news stories and issues that are important to the Chicanos
on this campus. In other words, I don't feel the Journalism Department has become sensitive to the needsofthe Chicano in general.
MARTHA GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:
No, I don't feel La Voz should merge with the Journalism Department because I believe La Voz belongs to the Chicanos on this
campus; it's an essential tool that helps the Chicano student become
aware of what's happening on campus and within the community. La
Voz promotes the unity between college students and the community
••• helping each of them overcome ,social injustices.
DAVID GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:
I feel that if a merger did happen it would eliminate input from
many Chicano students. La Voz· is for the Chicano students, enabling

edu cational stipend of $100 per
week.
Applicants must be juniors,
seniors or graduate students.
WICHE has operated the Res ource s Development Internshi.p
Program for the past seven years
seeking students from all aca demic disciplines to work with
profe s sionals in western agencies, said RDIP spokesperson
Angela Chavez.
They work together on projects
rela,. l to environmental protection, humanities, economic
development, planning, health,
science policy, law, engineering
and education, among others.
Ms. Chavez said over 1,000
internship projects have been
developed with intern placements
occurring in fields such as these.
In benefiting communities, students and colleges, the RDIP has
shown a "consistent growth," said
Ms. Chavez.

Building 4, room 132, phone 4&72848.
A seminar on photography will
be conducted next Monday night
as the first project of the recently formed _Chicano Organization of Photographers_and Artists (COPA).
Spokesperson Robert Hernandez said the seminar will include
topics ranging from basics discussions to various advanced
techniques.
"It will be pretty much an informational type thing to help
get the · club going," said Hernandez.
"COPA was created to bring
together those individuals who
have the desire to promote Chicano culture through the creative mediums of art and photography," he said.
He said COPA is intended to
give Chicanos who are unfamiliar
with the various forms of art
a chance to break into this world
and give those experienced a
chance to further their abilities.
Hernandez said that at present
other objectives are to conduct
art shows and photo exhibits
relative to the Chicano.
"We would assist in the development of ·artistic and photographic skills within the Chicano
community through workshops
and lectures," said Hernandez.
The seminar Monday will begin
at 7:30 p.m. in College Union
room 312.

National Chicano conference
set next month in El Paso
A National Conference of Chicano Social Scientists is scheduled for April 23-25 in El Paso,
Texas.
According to La Raza Studies
Director Alex Saragoza, several
members of the LRS faculty intend to go to the conference.
"It will be an excellent opportunity for students to learn about
the current trends in the Movement," said Saragoza.
Several workshops are planned
in the areas of the mass medi~,
oral history I methodology in the
. social sciences and Chicanos, and
on race and labor in the Southwest.
It is hoped that students may
be able to attend the conference.
The faculty has discussed the
possibility of a car pool lor those
interested in going to the El Paso
meeting.
"There have been some funda·mental changes in the tone of' the
Movimiento," said Sa ragoza,
"that will be the un·d ercurrent of
ShoUld Escuelita be fundedt

with the signing-in of the children
and a free-play period.
•The children are divided into
four age groups," said Castro,
who is in charge of morning activities, including a period of
academic work. "These groups
include the three- to five-yearolds. Here they learn how to write
the ~!phabet and begin spelling."
The afternoon period consists
of varied activities, including art,
music, story-reading and playtime. They are also provided with
a snack.
Most of the equipment in the
building was donated by different
organizations or companies. For
instance, the tables in the room
were originally large w i re
"spools" used by PG&E which the
company donated and cut in half
for the school's purpose. Also,
much of the supplies, such as
paper, are provided by UCLI.
Officials say the goal of Escuelita is to provide a bicultural
learning environment. It is aimed
at strengthening the child c ,11turally and to develop a positive
self image and identity, so he or
she may perform -to his/her own
abilities upon entering the regular elementary school system.
Escuelita will terminate functioning in April if no further
funds are provided.
"But, worst of all," says Castro, "it will be a loss for the
kids."
TR: arouses awareness
(Continued from Page 1)
tor, Polly Victor, was also hired
by the school.
Trabajadores attacked this decision claiming the non-Chicano
instructor "does not understand
the c11lture, customs, traditions
or language of the Chicano community."
"The school was unprofessional because it did not consult the
Chicano community of Trabajadores de Ia Raza as to who it was
going to hire," said the TR circular.
Ford said the School of Social
Work wrote the grant for this
project "rather hastily" and that
they were operating · "way past
the normal hiring period of the
university.•
He said of twelve applicants,
four were Sp an is h surname.
Three were "considered seriously," he said, before one of those
three, Jose Garcia, was selected
for the Community Mental Health
grant in Parlier.
The remaining two lacked the
necessary experience for the job,
according to Ford. From there,
he said, it was Polly Victor or
no one.
Ford said Andrew Alvarado,
former Affirmative Action officer now at Stanford University,
was consulted throughout the procedure.
The dean labeled as "ridiculous" the Chicano charges that
non-Chicanos were insensit(ve to
Chicano community concerns.
"I think that obvious social
work practical methodology is
culture and lifestyle," said Ford.
"What we do have is practice modalities which are applicable to a
variety of individual concerns.
"To say it is impossible for
non-Chicanos to work with Chicanos just is not true."
Solis said the Chicano graduate
students all want to be involved in
selecting future Chicano grad
students, as was the practice until Ford lltopped it last year.
"We feel we can make better
selections because we know and
understand the Chicano's cultural
background more than non-Chi-
canos," said Solis.
Ford said the Aclmis~ions
Committee, whose five members
consist of three no11-m inority
graduate students, one from the
Black caucus, and one frorn TH,
reviews all candidates l>ut no
lo11ger allows Chicanos to exclusively interview Chicanos because of the possibility of reverse discrimination.
He said the school would l>e
open to lawsuits lrom non-minority students who felt they were
being denied admission.
Solis said the relevancy of
Chkanos selecting Chicanos is
that through involvement in an interview they can tell "quite a bit"
about the individual.
· "We have to select the best
Chicanos who will be the best social workers," he said.
TR is also dissatisfied in the
area of recruiting minorities into
the school, charging that many of
the responsibilities are placed on
TR.
"It's the school's responsibility to have an effective recruitment program," said Solis. "It's
the students' responsibility to assist as much _as possible. They
haven't tak~n the initiative to do
recruiting or to ailocate monies."
Ford commented, "The effectiveness of the Admissions Committee to recruit minorities certainly is not as active as in the
past."
He said this is affected by the
difficulty of students to obtain financial assistance to stay in
school. He said that financial
packages and training g r a n t s
available for graduate students
are dwindling. He said of the
present financial assistance Chicanos receive 65 per cent.
He also said the school is not
receiving funds to effectively recruit, although they apply for
monies from the universities.
"I'll be the first to admit recruiting is inadeauate overall "
said Ford, "but ,;e have to co~sider these factors."
Solis said he hopes students
will respond to the issues through
the rally.
•
on issues, retreat
At its faculty meeting yesterday I the La Raza Studies staff
discussed several important
problems facing the program.
the conference."
The meeting promises to be
controversial and stimulating to
any student interested in the
Movement, said Saragoza. Many
of the Chicano "heavies" in history, sociology, anthropology,
and other disciplines will present
papers and comments on the
above issues.
Students interested in further
information should contact Alex
S.aragoza in La Raza Studies
( 487-2848) as soon as possible.
Apparently the administration
has decided to cut back the faculty allocation of the program.
Presently the program has an
allocation of 7.05 positions. For
the academic year 1976-77, the
program has been slated for -a
6.50 allocation. According to La
Raza Studies director Alex Saragoza, the cutback is in fact one
whole position from previous administration commitments.
Chicanas
Saragoza stated that the program was to receive an allocation
of 7.55 positions for 1975-76.
Later this was reduced to 7 .o 5.
Therefore, since last year, the
program has in effect taken a cut
of one position; one instructor
usually offers four classes.
"A vicious cycle occurs," said
Saragoza, "since our enrollment
will decline further because we
will offer fewer classes due to the
cutback.
"Since
the administration
bases its attack on low enrollments in La Raza Studies, this
is setting us up for another cut
next year."
On the other hand, Saragoza
admitted that enrollment in La

Raza Studies ha~ leveled off from
previous years.
"Perhaps we are seeing a
change," s.aid Saragoza, "in what
students expect from the program."
Consequently, he said, the faculty will review the curriculum
of the program. Saragoza stated
that the review committee will
consist of students and faculty.
RETREAT DISCUSSED
The most important issue,
however, was the discussion of
a proposed retreat for La Raza
Studies faculty, staff and students. It was decided that the retreat would take place on March
26 and 26. With the approval of
the School of Social Sciences, the
program would cancel all classes
on those dates.
"The purpose of the retreat is
to allow the faculty to air in depth
their views, concerns, and possible solutions to the problems
of La Raza Studies," said Saragoza.
He stressed the importance of
·Student input in the retreat.
Further details on these matters are available at the La Raza
Studies office. The next faculty
meeting will be largely devoted
to the planning of the proposed
retreat.

If the rally gains support of
students, it will mark the first
Chicano demonstration since last

The CSUF chapter of T rabajadores de la Raza, a national Chicano social workers organization, is sponsoring the rally which
will take place in the Free Speech
Area and at the S<:hool of Social
Work from 12-2 p.m.
TR President Jesse Solis said
last week a formal complaint was
made to Dean Richard Ford asking why action has not been taken
<;>n concerns which Solis says TR
has expressed through an organization newsletter begun this year.
"We have a wide range of concerns that have been expressed,"
said Solis, "but we've never got
any feedback from the (SW) administration to rectify those
complaints."
In a circular drafted by TR,
the organization touches on five
concerns dealing basically with
affirmative action, the hiring
procedure within the school, the
selection process of Chicanos into the school, the recruitment of
Chicanos, and a lack of minority
curricula.
Solis said their newsletter,
which is pritited bi-weekly, has
been the only form of communication of the concerns to Ford,
who is sent every copy. Ford
acknowledged this yesterday in an
interview.
According to Solis, the rally,
in addition to instigating public
awareness, would be a public support for SW lecturer Luis Sosa,
whose lectureship is terminating
this year. Sosa's regular twoyear lectureship ended last year
but the school was able to obtain
a one-year exte_nsion with hopes
of a tenure-tract position opening
up, said Ford.
However, although two tracts
became available, they were taken away from the school by the
university because of a decrease
in full-time equivalency (FTE).
"We want ·to show Sosa the Chicano is behind' him and what he's
done for Chicanos," said Solis,
acknowledging that hls position
c:an no longer be saved for him.
In other areas, however, Solis
said TR is dissatisfied with the
School of Social Work, particularly in the hiring of an Anglo to
run the Rural Child Welfare Project.

opinions on the School's performance under the Ryan Act.
The team meets at 7 p.m. in

He said students may discuss
the different aspects of the School

The evaluations are then reviewed by the Commission of

considered for attention by the
School, and ultimately to be considered when the School renews
its credentials, according to Alvarado.
He str-:ssed the importance _of

Republicans' opposition
shoo Id be· remembered
on Wendy
Two hundreds years ago Americans fought and died for selfdetermination. In this Bicentennial year, Republican members
of the California legislature are betraying that sacred legacy
by sabotaging the first law in U.S. history, guaranteeing American farm workers the right to vote in free elections. In this
post-Watergate era; Republican legislators -are excluding the
poorest of the poor from the democratic process. The men and
women who work the land - descendants of embattled farm
workers who fought tyranny two hundred years ago - are being
denied the most basic American freedom by representatives
of your party. Republican opposition to funding forCalifornia's
Agricultural Labor Relations Act is opposition to the right to
vote and opposition to the revolutionary heritage we celebrate
in 1976. The people will remember how Republicans acted
in this historic year.

!Para la raza unida, nada es imposible! With a new academic

learning will not be done in the classrooms. Life will challenge us every day in ways and means that are not taught in
our classrooms with the cold, austere white walls.
We are the youth, the voice of the present and the conscience
of society. The will to strive for needed changes will come
from us. That need must be fulfilled in the community, schools,
the fields, and wherever Nuestra Raza is.
We Chicano students of Fresno State College vow that we
will never separate ourselves from the Chicano population in
this couhtry; we are brothers through the ties of consanguinity,
of suffering and injustices; and we feel there is more virtue
in suffering with our people ·for a just cause than there would
be in giving in to anything less.

The Wendy Yoshimura Fair
Trial Committee was formed in
November, 1975, by the Central
California District Council and
the Fresno Buddhist Church. The
Central · California committee
consists of members of the Jap- .
anese American Citizens League,
FI esno Buddhist Church memhers, and other community mem- .
hers. The committee was originally developed to raise bail for
Ms. Wendy Yoshimura and is not
a defense fund. The fund and the
committee do not presum·e the
innocence or guilt of Wendy Yoshimura, nor do they support her
political beliefs. They are merely instruments to aid in her legal
fees and to assure her a fair trial. Committee chapters have now
been raised in both northern and
sourthern California; to date,
$20,000 has been raised. In Fresno, members of the Fair Trial
Committee include Mike Iwatsubo
and Judge Mikio Uchiyama.

will attest to the ·fact that once

that they have furrowed and nurtured through their college years.
Those mechistas who preceded

occupy this campus have probably
heard bits and pieces of the· past
through hearsay and rumor.

Las ·voces speak out for a Chicano press
Jn an effort to obtain various Chicano student viewpoints on the
status of minority editions should the Daily Collegian merge with the
Journalism Department, La Voz de Aztlan past editor Ernesto Moreno
sampled some students on the matter. Herewith are some responses
he received to the query, "What do you think of the possible merger
of La Voz within the Journalism Department?"

is something I can relate to, and I feel it's really good that there is
a La Voz with Chicanos behind it. If we lose La Voz, we're going to
start losing a lot more of what we have struggled to achieve for the
Chicano on this campus."
REUBEN DE SANTIAGO, SOCIAL WELFARE MAJOR:
JUAN GARZA, HEALTH SCIENCE MAJOR:
People are viewing the possibility of a merger as a loss of community contact; in reality it may lead to more in the long run. If
Chicano students allow La Voz to merge, they'd be throwing down
the drain all that has been put into making the paper what it is. The
mere f~ct that there is a La Voz promotes a positive attitude within
the Chicano students on this campus, because it is their newspaper.
If there is a ·merger it may be Lie first step in doing away with
a nything that is Chicano oriented •.• in that if this can be done to
La Voz, which is a tool of the Chicano students, what will be next in
line .•• "La Raza Stt1dies?"
ALEJANDRO CONTRERAS, ENGLISH MAJOR, (&X-EDITOR LA
VOZ, FALL AND SPRING 1972):
/
I'm against it because I feel that it would impose censorship and
restraints on the policy of Chicano journalism that is now contained
within the structure of LA VOZ.
I will continue to oppose such a move until the Journalism Department can provide guidelines that would enable La Voz to continue
reporting news stories that are much needed and very relevant to
the Chicano on this campus. A merger without these guideli11es would
limit La Voz to rep,ortiug what t~e Journalism Department feels is
important, without any input and decision making from the Chicano
faction on this campus.
DARLENE JUAREZ, NURSING MAJOR:
If it's going to hur_t La Voz, I don't think it should happen. La Voz
I'd be against a merger because the Journalism Department would
censor news stories and issues that are important to the Chicanos
on this campus. In other words, I don't feel the Journalism Department has become sensitive to the needsofthe Chicano in general.
MARTHA GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:
No, I don't feel La Voz should merge with the Journalism Department because I believe La Voz belongs to the Chicanos on this
campus; it's an essential tool that helps the Chicano student become
aware of what's happening on campus and within the community. La
Voz promotes the unity between college students and the community

DAVID GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:

WICHE summer project needed
Students interested in working
on an intern project related to
their field of interest this summer may now apply for a position.
Sponsored by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher
Education (WICHE), the int_ernships run 12 weeks with each
intern receiving a tax-exempt
edu cational stipend of $100 per

Applicants must be juniors,
seniors or graduate students.
WICHE has operated the Res ource s Development Internshi.p
Program for the past seven years
seeking students from all aca demic disciplines to work with
profe s sionals in western agencies, said RDIP spokesperson
Angela Chavez.
They work together on projects
rela,. l to environmental protection, humanities, economic

A seminar on photography will
be conducted next Monday night
as the first project of the recently formed _Chicano Organization of Photographers_and Artists (COPA).
Spokesperson Robert Hernandez said the seminar will include
topics ranging from basics discussions to various advanced
techniques.
"It will be pretty much an informational type thing to help
get the · club going," said Hernandez.
"COPA was created to bring
together those individuals who
have the desire to promote Chicano culture through the creative mediums of art and photography," he said.
He said COPA is intended to
give Chicanos who are unfamiliar
with the various forms of art
a chance to break into this world
and give those experienced a
chance to further their abilities.
Hernandez said that at present
other objectives are to conduct
art shows and photo exhibits
relative to the Chicano.
"We would assist in the development of ·artistic and photographic skills within the Chicano
community through workshops
and lectures," said Hernandez.
The seminar Monday will begin

National Chicano conference
set next month in El Paso
A National Conference of Chicano Social Scientists is scheduled for April 23-25 in El Paso,
Texas.
According to La Raza Studies
Director Alex Saragoza, several
members of the LRS faculty intend to go to the conference.
"It will be an excellent opportunity for students to learn about
the current trends in the Movement," said Saragoza.
Several workshops are planned
in the areas of the mass medi~,
oral history I methodology in the
. social sciences and Chicanos, and
on race and labor in the Southwest.
It is hoped that students may
be able to attend the conference.
The faculty has discussed the
possibility of a car pool lor those
interested in going to the El Paso
meeting.
"There have been some funda·mental changes in the tone of' the
Movimiento," said Sa ragoza,
"that will be the un·d ercurrent of
ShoUld Escuelita be fundedt
(Continued from Page 1)
with the signing-in of the children
and a free-play period.
•The children are divided into
four age groups," said Castro,
who is in charge of morning activities, including a period of
academic work. "These groups
include the three- to five-yearolds. Here they learn how to write
the ~!phabet and begin spelling."
The afternoon period consists
of varied activities, including art,
music, story-reading and playtime. They are also provided with
a snack.
Most of the equipment in the
building was donated by different
organizations or companies. For
instance, the tables in the room
were originally large w i re
"spools" used by PG&E which the
company donated and cut in half
for the school's purpose. Also,
much of the supplies, such as
paper, are provided by UCLI.
Officials say the goal of Escuelita is to provide a bicultural
learning environment. It is aimed
at strengthening the child c ,11turally and to develop a positive
self image and identity, so he or
she may perform -to his/her own
abilities upon entering the regular elementary school system.
Escuelita will terminate functioning in April if no further
funds are provided.
"But, worst of all," says Castro, "it will be a loss for the
kids."
TR: arouses awareness
(Continued from Page 1)
tor, Polly Victor, was also hired
by the school.
Trabajadores attacked this decision claiming the non-Chicano
instructor "does not understand
the c11lture, customs, traditions
or language of the Chicano community."
"The school was unprofessional because it did not consult the
Chicano community of Trabajadores de Ia Raza as to who it was
going to hire," said the TR circular.
Ford said the School of Social
Work wrote the grant for this
project "rather hastily" and that
they were operating · "way past
the normal hiring period of the
university.•
He said of twelve applicants,
four were Sp an is h surname.
Three were "considered seriously," he said, before one of those
three, Jose Garcia, was selected
for the Community Mental Health
grant in Parlier.
The remaining two lacked the
necessary experience for the job,
according to Ford. From there,
he said, it was Polly Victor or
no one.
Ford said Andrew Alvarado,
former Affirmative Action officer now at Stanford University,
was consulted throughout the procedure.
The dean labeled as "ridiculous" the Chicano charges that
non-Chicanos were insensit(ve to
Chicano community concerns.
"I think that obvious social
work practical methodology is
culture and lifestyle," said Ford.
"What we do have is practice modalities which are applicable to a
variety of individual concerns.
"To say it is impossible for
non-Chicanos to work with Chicanos just is not true."
Solis said the Chicano graduate
students all want to be involved in
selecting future Chicano grad
students, as was the practice until Ford lltopped it last year.
"We feel we can make better
selections because we know and
understand the Chicano's cultural
background more than non-Chi-
canos," said Solis.
Ford said the Aclmis~ions
Committee, whose five members
consist of three no11-m inority
graduate students, one from the
Black caucus, and one frorn TH,
reviews all candidates l>ut no
lo11ger allows Chicanos to exclusively interview Chicanos because of the possibility of reverse discrimination.
He said the school would l>e
open to lawsuits lrom non-minority students who felt they were
being denied admission.
Solis said the relevancy of
Chkanos selecting Chicanos is
that through involvement in an interview they can tell "quite a bit"
about the individual.
· "We have to select the best
Chicanos who will be the best social workers," he said.
TR is also dissatisfied in the
area of recruiting minorities into
the school, charging that many of
the responsibilities are placed on
TR.
"It's the school's responsibility to have an effective recruitment program," said Solis. "It's
the students' responsibility to assist as much _as possible. They
haven't tak~n the initiative to do
recruiting or to ailocate monies."
Ford commented, "The effectiveness of the Admissions Committee to recruit minorities certainly is not as active as in the
past."
He said this is affected by the
difficulty of students to obtain financial assistance to stay in
school. He said that financial
packages and training g r a n t s
available for graduate students
are dwindling. He said of the
present financial assistance Chicanos receive 65 per cent.
He also said the school is not
receiving funds to effectively recruit, although they apply for
monies from the universities.
"I'll be the first to admit recruiting is inadeauate overall "
said Ford, "but ,;e have to co~sider these factors."
Solis said he hopes students
will respond to the issues through
the rally.
•
on issues, retreat
At its faculty meeting yesterday I the La Raza Studies staff
discussed several important
problems facing the program.
the conference."
The meeting promises to be
controversial and stimulating to
any student interested in the
Movement, said Saragoza. Many
of the Chicano "heavies" in history, sociology, anthropology,
and other disciplines will present
papers and comments on the
above issues.
Students interested in further
information should contact Alex
S.aragoza in La Raza Studies
( 487-2848) as soon as possible.
Apparently the administration
has decided to cut back the faculty allocation of the program.
Presently the program has an
allocation of 7.05 positions. For
the academic year 1976-77, the
program has been slated for -a
6.50 allocation. According to La
Raza Studies director Alex Saragoza, the cutback is in fact one
whole position from previous administration commitments.
Chicanas
Saragoza stated that the program was to receive an allocation
of 7.55 positions for 1975-76.
Later this was reduced to 7 .o 5.
Therefore, since last year, the
program has in effect taken a cut
of one position; one instructor
usually offers four classes.
"A vicious cycle occurs," said
Saragoza, "since our enrollment
will decline further because we
will offer fewer classes due to the
cutback.
"Since
the administration
bases its attack on low enrollments in La Raza Studies, this
is setting us up for another cut
next year."
On the other hand, Saragoza
admitted that enrollment in La

Raza Studies ha~ leveled off from
previous years.
"Perhaps we are seeing a
change," s.aid Saragoza, "in what
students expect from the program."
Consequently, he said, the faculty will review the curriculum
of the program. Saragoza stated
that the review committee will
consist of students and faculty.
RETREAT DISCUSSED
The most important issue,
however, was the discussion of
a proposed retreat for La Raza
Studies faculty, staff and students. It was decided that the retreat would take place on March
26 and 26. With the approval of
the School of Social Sciences, the
program would cancel all classes
on those dates.
"The purpose of the retreat is
to allow the faculty to air in depth
their views, concerns, and possible solutions to the problems
of La Raza Studies," said Saragoza.
He stressed the importance of
·Student input in the retreat.
Further details on these matters are available at the La Raza
Studies office. The next faculty
meeting will be largely devoted
to the planning of the proposed
retreat.

Demonstration .of solidarity toward La Causa and to other Chicanos will be the theme behind
"La Marcha de Unidad," said
Gloria Hernandez, president of

The march, tobeheldonSaturday, April 17, will be a means
for various segments of the Spanish-speaking to focus attention on
problems encountered by the
Spanish-speaking within the San
Joaquin Valley.
These problems include such
things as unemployment, discrimination, the lack of educational opportunities for the Span-
ish-speaking, and the problem
of union busting.
There has been a com it e
formed to organize this comunal
event that will begin with a march
of more than two mile-s..to Fresno's Roeding .Park, beginning at
Dickey Playground which is located on the corner of Di vi&,idero
and Blackstone avenues, said the

If the rally gains support of
students, it will mark the first
Chicano demonstration since last
spring's controversy over the de:..

Studies.
The CSUF chapter of T rabajadores de la Raza, a national Chicano social workers organization, is sponsoring the rally which
will take place in the Free Speech
Area and at the S<:hool of Social
Work from 12-2 p.m.
TR President Jesse Solis said
last week a formal complaint was
made to Dean Richard Ford asking why action has not been taken
<;>n concerns which Solis says TR
has expressed through an organization newsletter begun this year.
"We have a wide range of concerns that have been expressed,"
said Solis, "but we've never got
any feedback from the (SW) administration to rectify those
complaints."
In a circular drafted by TR,
the organization touches on five
concerns dealing basically with
affirmative action, the hiring
procedure within the school, the
selection process of Chicanos into the school, the recruitment of
Chicanos, and a lack of minority
curricula.
Solis said their newsletter,
which is pritited bi-weekly, has
been the only form of communication of the concerns to Ford,
who is sent every copy. Ford
acknowledged this yesterday in an
interview.
According to Solis, the rally,
in addition to instigating public
awareness, would be a public support for SW lecturer Luis Sosa,
whose lectureship is terminating
this year. Sosa's regular twoyear lectureship ended last year
but the school was able to obtain
a one-year exte_nsion with hopes
of a tenure-tract position opening
up, said Ford.
However, although two tracts
became available, they were taken away from the school by the
university because of a decrease
in full-time equivalency (FTE).
"We want ·to show Sosa the Chicano is behind' him and what he's
done for Chicanos," said Solis,
acknowledging that hls position
c:an no longer be saved for him.
In other areas, however, Solis
said TR is dissatisfied with the
School of Social Work, particularly in the hiring of an Anglo to
run the Rural Child Welfare Project.

opinions on the School's performance under the Ryan Act.
The team meets at 7 p.m. in
Ed-Psyche room 102.
Alfredo Alvarado, representative to the tea~ from Chicanos

it is the first time that students
will be involved in evaluation of
their program.
He said students may discuss
the different aspects of the School
of Education, of~ering pros and
cons to its present status.
The evaluations are then reviewed by the Commission of
Teacher Preparation and Licensing which passes them on to be
considered for attention by the
School, and ultimately to be considered when the School renews
its credentials, according to Alvarado.
He str-:ssed the importance _of
minority Ryan candidate input at
tonight ' s meeting.
"This will give us a way to
participate in determining the
types of teachers this institution

Republicans' opposition
shoo Id be· remembered
on Wendy
Two hundreds years ago Americans fought and died for selfdetermination. In this Bicentennial year, Republican members
of the California legislature are betraying that sacred legacy
by sabotaging the first law in U.S. history, guaranteeing American farm workers the right to vote in free elections. In this
post-Watergate era; Republican legislators -are excluding the
poorest of the poor from the democratic process. The men and
women who work the land - descendants of embattled farm
workers who fought tyranny two hundred years ago - are being
denied the most basic American freedom by representatives
of your party. Republican opposition to funding forCalifornia's
Agricultural Labor Relations Act is opposition to the right to
vote and opposition to the revolutionary heritage we celebrate
in 1976. The people will remember how Republicans acted
in this historic year.

!Para la raza unida, nada es imposible! With a new academic

We are the youth, the voice of the present and the conscience
of society. The will to strive for needed changes will come
from us. That need must be fulfilled in the community, schools,
the fields, and wherever Nuestra Raza is.
We Chicano students of Fresno State College vow that we
will never separate ourselves from the Chicano population in

The Wendy Yoshimura Fair
Trial Committee was formed in
November, 1975, by the Central
California District Council and
the Fresno Buddhist Church. The
Central · California committee
consists of members of the Jap- .
anese American Citizens League,
FI esno Buddhist Church memhers, and other community mem- .
hers. The committee was originally developed to raise bail for
Ms. Wendy Yoshimura and is not
a defense fund. The fund and the
committee do not presum·e the
innocence or guilt of Wendy Yoshimura, nor do they support her
political beliefs. They are merely instruments to aid in her legal
fees and to assure her a fair trial. Committee chapters have now
been raised in both northern and
sourthern California; to date,
$20,000 has been raised. In Fresno, members of the Fair Trial
Committee include Mike Iwatsubo
and Judge Mikio Uchiyama.

Las ·voces speak out for a Chicano press
Jn an effort to obtain various Chicano student viewpoints on the
status of minority editions should the Daily Collegian merge with the
Journalism Department, La Voz de Aztlan past editor Ernesto Moreno
sampled some students on the matter. Herewith are some responses
he received to the query, "What do you think of the possible merger
of La Voz within the Journalism Department?"

is something I can relate to, and I feel it's really good that there is
a La Voz with Chicanos behind it. If we lose La Voz, we're going to
start losing a lot more of what we have struggled to achieve for the
Chicano on this campus."
REUBEN DE SANTIAGO, SOCIAL WELFARE MAJOR:
JUAN GARZA, HEALTH SCIENCE MAJOR:
People are viewing the possibility of a merger as a loss of community contact; in reality it may lead to more in the long run. If
Chicano students allow La Voz to merge, they'd be throwing down
the drain all that has been put into making the paper what it is. The
mere f~ct that there is a La Voz promotes a positive attitude within
the Chicano students on this campus, because it is their newspaper.
If there is a ·merger it may be Lie first step in doing away with
a nything that is Chicano oriented •.• in that if this can be done to
La Voz, which is a tool of the Chicano students, what will be next in
line .•• "La Raza Stt1dies?"
ALEJANDRO CONTRERAS, ENGLISH MAJOR, (&X-EDITOR LA
VOZ, FALL AND SPRING 1972):
/
I'm against it because I feel that it would impose censorship and
restraints on the policy of Chicano journalism that is now contained
within the structure of LA VOZ.
I will continue to oppose such a move until the Journalism Department can provide guidelines that would enable La Voz to continue
reporting news stories that are much needed and very relevant to
the Chicano on this campus. A merger without these guideli11es would
limit La Voz to rep,ortiug what t~e Journalism Department feels is
important, without any input and decision making from the Chicano
faction on this campus.
DARLENE JUAREZ, NURSING MAJOR:
If it's going to hur_t La Voz, I don't think it should happen. La Voz
I'd be against a merger because the Journalism Department would
censor news stories and issues that are important to the Chicanos
on this campus. In other words, I don't feel the Journalism Department has become sensitive to the needsofthe Chicano in general.
MARTHA GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:
No, I don't feel La Voz should merge with the Journalism Department because I believe La Voz belongs to the Chicanos on this
campus; it's an essential tool that helps the Chicano student become
aware of what's happening on campus and within the community. La
Voz promotes the unity between college students and the community
••• helping each of them overcome ,social injustices.
DAVID GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:

WICHE summer project needed
Students interested in working
on an intern project related to
their field of interest this summer may now apply for a position.
Sponsored by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher
Education (WICHE), the int_ernships run 12 weeks with each
intern receiving a tax-exempt
edu cational stipend of $100 per
week.
Applicants must be juniors,
seniors or graduate students.
WICHE has operated the Res ource s Development Internshi.p
Program for the past seven years
seeking students from all aca demic disciplines to work with
profe s sionals in western agencies, said RDIP spokesperson
Angela Chavez.
They work together on projects
rela,. l to environmental protection, humanities, economic

A seminar on photography will
be conducted next Monday night
as the first project of the recently formed _Chicano Organization of Photographers_and Artists (COPA).
Spokesperson Robert Hernandez said the seminar will include
topics ranging from basics discussions to various advanced
techniques.
"It will be pretty much an informational type thing to help
get the · club going," said Hernandez.
"COPA was created to bring
together those individuals who
have the desire to promote Chicano culture through the creative mediums of art and photography," he said.
He said COPA is intended to
give Chicanos who are unfamiliar
with the various forms of art
a chance to break into this world
and give those experienced a
chance to further their abilities.
Hernandez said that at present
other objectives are to conduct
art shows and photo exhibits
relative to the Chicano.
"We would assist in the development of ·artistic and photographic skills within the Chicano
community through workshops
and lectures," said Hernandez.
The seminar Monday will begin
at 7:30 p.m. in College Union
room 312.

National Chicano conference
set next month in El Paso
A National Conference of Chicano Social Scientists is scheduled for April 23-25 in El Paso,
Texas.
According to La Raza Studies
Director Alex Saragoza, several
members of the LRS faculty intend to go to the conference.
"It will be an excellent opportunity for students to learn about
the current trends in the Movement," said Saragoza.
Several workshops are planned
in the areas of the mass medi~,
oral history I methodology in the
. social sciences and Chicanos, and
on race and labor in the Southwest.
It is hoped that students may
be able to attend the conference.
The faculty has discussed the
possibility of a car pool lor those
interested in going to the El Paso
meeting.
"There have been some funda·mental changes in the tone of' the
Movimiento," said Sa ragoza,
"that will be the un·d ercurrent of
ShoUld Escuelita be fundedt

with the signing-in of the children
and a free-play period.
•The children are divided into
four age groups," said Castro,
who is in charge of morning activities, including a period of
academic work. "These groups
include the three- to five-yearolds. Here they learn how to write
the ~!phabet and begin spelling."
The afternoon period consists
of varied activities, including art,
music, story-reading and playtime. They are also provided with
a snack.
Most of the equipment in the
building was donated by different
organizations or companies. For
instance, the tables in the room
were originally large w i re
"spools" used by PG&E which the
company donated and cut in half
for the school's purpose. Also,
much of the supplies, such as
paper, are provided by UCLI.
Officials say the goal of Escuelita is to provide a bicultural
learning environment. It is aimed
at strengthening the child c ,11turally and to develop a positive
self image and identity, so he or
she may perform -to his/her own
abilities upon entering the regular elementary school system.
Escuelita will terminate functioning in April if no further
funds are provided.
"But, worst of all," says Castro, "it will be a loss for the
kids."
TR: arouses awareness
(Continued from Page 1)
tor, Polly Victor, was also hired
by the school.
Trabajadores attacked this decision claiming the non-Chicano
instructor "does not understand
the c11lture, customs, traditions
or language of the Chicano community."
"The school was unprofessional because it did not consult the
Chicano community of Trabajadores de Ia Raza as to who it was
going to hire," said the TR circular.
Ford said the School of Social
Work wrote the grant for this
project "rather hastily" and that
they were operating · "way past
the normal hiring period of the
university.•
He said of twelve applicants,
four were Sp an is h surname.
Three were "considered seriously," he said, before one of those
three, Jose Garcia, was selected
for the Community Mental Health
grant in Parlier.
The remaining two lacked the
necessary experience for the job,
according to Ford. From there,
he said, it was Polly Victor or
no one.
Ford said Andrew Alvarado,
former Affirmative Action officer now at Stanford University,
was consulted throughout the procedure.
The dean labeled as "ridiculous" the Chicano charges that
non-Chicanos were insensit(ve to
Chicano community concerns.
"I think that obvious social
work practical methodology is
culture and lifestyle," said Ford.
"What we do have is practice modalities which are applicable to a
variety of individual concerns.
"To say it is impossible for
non-Chicanos to work with Chicanos just is not true."
Solis said the Chicano graduate
students all want to be involved in
selecting future Chicano grad
students, as was the practice until Ford lltopped it last year.
"We feel we can make better
selections because we know and
understand the Chicano's cultural
background more than non-Chi-
canos," said Solis.
Ford said the Aclmis~ions
Committee, whose five members
consist of three no11-m inority
graduate students, one from the
Black caucus, and one frorn TH,
reviews all candidates l>ut no
lo11ger allows Chicanos to exclusively interview Chicanos because of the possibility of reverse discrimination.
He said the school would l>e
open to lawsuits lrom non-minority students who felt they were
being denied admission.
Solis said the relevancy of
Chkanos selecting Chicanos is
that through involvement in an interview they can tell "quite a bit"
about the individual.
· "We have to select the best
Chicanos who will be the best social workers," he said.
TR is also dissatisfied in the
area of recruiting minorities into
the school, charging that many of
the responsibilities are placed on
TR.
"It's the school's responsibility to have an effective recruitment program," said Solis. "It's
the students' responsibility to assist as much _as possible. They
haven't tak~n the initiative to do
recruiting or to ailocate monies."
Ford commented, "The effectiveness of the Admissions Committee to recruit minorities certainly is not as active as in the
past."
He said this is affected by the
difficulty of students to obtain financial assistance to stay in
school. He said that financial
packages and training g r a n t s
available for graduate students
are dwindling. He said of the
present financial assistance Chicanos receive 65 per cent.
He also said the school is not
receiving funds to effectively recruit, although they apply for
monies from the universities.
"I'll be the first to admit recruiting is inadeauate overall "
said Ford, "but ,;e have to co~sider these factors."
Solis said he hopes students
will respond to the issues through
the rally.
•
on issues, retreat
At its faculty meeting yesterday I the La Raza Studies staff
discussed several important
problems facing the program.
the conference."
The meeting promises to be
controversial and stimulating to
any student interested in the
Movement, said Saragoza. Many
of the Chicano "heavies" in history, sociology, anthropology,
and other disciplines will present
papers and comments on the
above issues.
Students interested in further
information should contact Alex
S.aragoza in La Raza Studies
( 487-2848) as soon as possible.
Apparently the administration
has decided to cut back the faculty allocation of the program.
Presently the program has an
allocation of 7.05 positions. For
the academic year 1976-77, the
program has been slated for -a
6.50 allocation. According to La
Raza Studies director Alex Saragoza, the cutback is in fact one
whole position from previous administration commitments.
Chicanas
Saragoza stated that the program was to receive an allocation
of 7.55 positions for 1975-76.
Later this was reduced to 7 .o 5.
Therefore, since last year, the
program has in effect taken a cut
of one position; one instructor
usually offers four classes.
"A vicious cycle occurs," said
Saragoza, "since our enrollment
will decline further because we
will offer fewer classes due to the
cutback.
"Since
the administration
bases its attack on low enrollments in La Raza Studies, this
is setting us up for another cut
next year."
On the other hand, Saragoza
admitted that enrollment in La

Raza Studies ha~ leveled off from
previous years.
"Perhaps we are seeing a
change," s.aid Saragoza, "in what
students expect from the program."
Consequently, he said, the faculty will review the curriculum
of the program. Saragoza stated
that the review committee will
consist of students and faculty.
RETREAT DISCUSSED
The most important issue,
however, was the discussion of
a proposed retreat for La Raza
Studies faculty, staff and students. It was decided that the retreat would take place on March
26 and 26. With the approval of
the School of Social Sciences, the
program would cancel all classes
on those dates.
"The purpose of the retreat is
to allow the faculty to air in depth
their views, concerns, and possible solutions to the problems
of La Raza Studies," said Saragoza.
He stressed the importance of
·Student input in the retreat.
Further details on these matters are available at the La Raza
Studies office. The next faculty
meeting will be largely devoted
to the planning of the proposed
retreat.

If the rally gains support of
students, it will mark the first
Chicano demonstration since last
spring's controversy over the de:..

Studies.
The CSUF chapter of T rabajadores de la Raza, a national Chicano social workers organization, is sponsoring the rally which
will take place in the Free Speech
Area and at the S<:hool of Social
Work from 12-2 p.m.
TR President Jesse Solis said
last week a formal complaint was
made to Dean Richard Ford asking why action has not been taken
<;>n concerns which Solis says TR
has expressed through an organization newsletter begun this year.
"We have a wide range of concerns that have been expressed,"
said Solis, "but we've never got
any feedback from the (SW) administration to rectify those
complaints."
In a circular drafted by TR,
the organization touches on five
concerns dealing basically with
affirmative action, the hiring
procedure within the school, the
selection process of Chicanos into the school, the recruitment of
Chicanos, and a lack of minority
curricula.
Solis said their newsletter,
which is pritited bi-weekly, has
been the only form of communication of the concerns to Ford,
who is sent every copy. Ford
acknowledged this yesterday in an
interview.
According to Solis, the rally,
in addition to instigating public
awareness, would be a public support for SW lecturer Luis Sosa,
whose lectureship is terminating
this year. Sosa's regular twoyear lectureship ended last year
but the school was able to obtain
a one-year exte_nsion with hopes
of a tenure-tract position opening
up, said Ford.
However, although two tracts
became available, they were taken away from the school by the
university because of a decrease
in full-time equivalency (FTE).
"We want ·to show Sosa the Chicano is behind' him and what he's
done for Chicanos," said Solis,
acknowledging that hls position
c:an no longer be saved for him.
In other areas, however, Solis
said TR is dissatisfied with the
School of Social Work, particularly in the hiring of an Anglo to
run the Rural Child Welfare Project.

The evaluations are then reviewed by the Commission of

Republicans' opposition
shoo Id be· remembered
on Wendy
Two hundreds years ago Americans fought and died for selfdetermination. In this Bicentennial year, Republican members
of the California legislature are betraying that sacred legacy
by sabotaging the first law in U.S. history, guaranteeing American farm workers the right to vote in free elections. In this
post-Watergate era; Republican legislators -are excluding the
poorest of the poor from the democratic process. The men and
women who work the land - descendants of embattled farm
workers who fought tyranny two hundred years ago - are being
denied the most basic American freedom by representatives
of your party. Republican opposition to funding forCalifornia's
Agricultural Labor Relations Act is opposition to the right to
vote and opposition to the revolutionary heritage we celebrate
in 1976. The people will remember how Republicans acted
in this historic year.

!Para la raza unida, nada es imposible! With a new academic

We are the youth, the voice of the present and the conscience
of society. The will to strive for needed changes will come
from us. That need must be fulfilled in the community, schools,
the fields, and wherever Nuestra Raza is.
We Chicano students of Fresno State College vow that we
will never separate ourselves from the Chicano population in

The Wendy Yoshimura Fair
Trial Committee was formed in
November, 1975, by the Central
California District Council and
the Fresno Buddhist Church. The
Central · California committee
consists of members of the Jap- .
anese American Citizens League,
FI esno Buddhist Church memhers, and other community mem- .
hers. The committee was originally developed to raise bail for
Ms. Wendy Yoshimura and is not
a defense fund. The fund and the
committee do not presum·e the
innocence or guilt of Wendy Yoshimura, nor do they support her
political beliefs. They are merely instruments to aid in her legal
fees and to assure her a fair trial. Committee chapters have now
been raised in both northern and
sourthern California; to date,
$20,000 has been raised. In Fresno, members of the Fair Trial
Committee include Mike Iwatsubo
and Judge Mikio Uchiyama.

Las ·voces speak out for a Chicano press
Jn an effort to obtain various Chicano student viewpoints on the
status of minority editions should the Daily Collegian merge with the
Journalism Department, La Voz de Aztlan past editor Ernesto Moreno
sampled some students on the matter. Herewith are some responses
he received to the query, "What do you think of the possible merger
of La Voz within the Journalism Department?"

is something I can relate to, and I feel it's really good that there is
a La Voz with Chicanos behind it. If we lose La Voz, we're going to
start losing a lot more of what we have struggled to achieve for the
Chicano on this campus."
REUBEN DE SANTIAGO, SOCIAL WELFARE MAJOR:
JUAN GARZA, HEALTH SCIENCE MAJOR:
People are viewing the possibility of a merger as a loss of community contact; in reality it may lead to more in the long run. If
Chicano students allow La Voz to merge, they'd be throwing down
the drain all that has been put into making the paper what it is. The
mere f~ct that there is a La Voz promotes a positive attitude within
the Chicano students on this campus, because it is their newspaper.
If there is a ·merger it may be Lie first step in doing away with
a nything that is Chicano oriented •.• in that if this can be done to
La Voz, which is a tool of the Chicano students, what will be next in
line .•• "La Raza Stt1dies?"
ALEJANDRO CONTRERAS, ENGLISH MAJOR, (&X-EDITOR LA
VOZ, FALL AND SPRING 1972):
/
I'm against it because I feel that it would impose censorship and
restraints on the policy of Chicano journalism that is now contained
within the structure of LA VOZ.
I will continue to oppose such a move until the Journalism Department can provide guidelines that would enable La Voz to continue
reporting news stories that are much needed and very relevant to
the Chicano on this campus. A merger without these guideli11es would
limit La Voz to rep,ortiug what t~e Journalism Department feels is
important, without any input and decision making from the Chicano
faction on this campus.
DARLENE JUAREZ, NURSING MAJOR:
If it's going to hur_t La Voz, I don't think it should happen. La Voz
I'd be against a merger because the Journalism Department would
censor news stories and issues that are important to the Chicanos
on this campus. In other words, I don't feel the Journalism Department has become sensitive to the needsofthe Chicano in general.
MARTHA GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:
No, I don't feel La Voz should merge with the Journalism Department because I believe La Voz belongs to the Chicanos on this
campus; it's an essential tool that helps the Chicano student become
aware of what's happening on campus and within the community. La
Voz promotes the unity between college students and the community
••• helping each of them overcome ,social injustices.
DAVID GOMEZ, UNDECLARED MAJOR:
I feel that if a merger did happen it would eliminate input from
many Chicano students. La Voz· is for the Chicano students, enabling

concept of La Voz would be done away with ••• in essence, it would

Students interested in working
on an intern project related to
their field of interest this summer may now apply for a position.
Sponsored by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher
Education (WICHE), the int_ernships run 12 weeks with each
intern receiving a tax-exempt
edu cational stipend of $100 per

A seminar on photography will
be conducted next Monday night
as the first project of the recently formed _Chicano Organization of Photographers_and Artists (COPA).
Spokesperson Robert Hernandez said the seminar will include
topics ranging from basics discussions to various advanced
techniques.
"It will be pretty much an informational type thing to help
get the · club going," said Hernandez.
"COPA was created to bring
together those individuals who
have the desire to promote Chicano culture through the creative mediums of art and photography," he said.
He said COPA is intended to
give Chicanos who are unfamiliar
with the various forms of art
a chance to break into this world
and give those experienced a
chance to further their abilities.
Hernandez said that at present
other objectives are to conduct
art shows and photo exhibits
relative to the Chicano.
"We would assist in the development of ·artistic and photographic skills within the Chicano
community through workshops
and lectures," said Hernandez.
The seminar Monday will begin

National Chicano conference
set next month in El Paso
A National Conference of Chicano Social Scientists is scheduled for April 23-25 in El Paso,
Texas.
According to La Raza Studies
Director Alex Saragoza, several
members of the LRS faculty intend to go to the conference.
"It will be an excellent opportunity for students to learn about
the current trends in the Movement," said Saragoza.
Several workshops are planned
in the areas of the mass medi~,
oral history I methodology in the
. social sciences and Chicanos, and
on race and labor in the Southwest.
It is hoped that students may
be able to attend the conference.
The faculty has discussed the
possibility of a car pool lor those
interested in going to the El Paso
meeting.
"There have been some funda·mental changes in the tone of' the
Movimiento," said Sa ragoza,
"that will be the un·d ercurrent of
ShoUld Escuelita be fundedt
(Continued from Page 1)
with the signing-in of the children
and a free-play period.
•The children are divided into
four age groups," said Castro,
who is in charge of morning activities, including a period of
academic work. "These groups
include the three- to five-yearolds. Here they learn how to write
the ~!phabet and begin spelling."
The afternoon period consists
of varied activities, including art,
music, story-reading and playtime. They are also provided with
a snack.
Most of the equipment in the
building was donated by different
organizations or companies. For
instance, the tables in the room
were originally large w i re
"spools" used by PG&E which the
company donated and cut in half
for the school's purpose. Also,
much of the supplies, such as
paper, are provided by UCLI.
Officials say the goal of Escuelita is to provide a bicultural
learning environment. It is aimed
at strengthening the child c ,11turally and to develop a positive
self image and identity, so he or
she may perform -to his/her own
abilities upon entering the regular elementary school system.
Escuelita will terminate functioning in April if no further
funds are provided.
"But, worst of all," says Castro, "it will be a loss for the
kids."
TR: arouses awareness
(Continued from Page 1)
tor, Polly Victor, was also hired
by the school.
Trabajadores attacked this decision claiming the non-Chicano
instructor "does not understand
the c11lture, customs, traditions
or language of the Chicano community."
"The school was unprofessional because it did not consult the
Chicano community of Trabajadores de Ia Raza as to who it was
going to hire," said the TR circular.
Ford said the School of Social
Work wrote the grant for this
project "rather hastily" and that
they were operating · "way past
the normal hiring period of the
university.•
He said of twelve applicants,
four were Sp an is h surname.
Three were "considered seriously," he said, before one of those
three, Jose Garcia, was selected
for the Community Mental Health
grant in Parlier.
The remaining two lacked the
necessary experience for the job,
according to Ford. From there,
he said, it was Polly Victor or
no one.
Ford said Andrew Alvarado,
former Affirmative Action officer now at Stanford University,
was consulted throughout the procedure.
The dean labeled as "ridiculous" the Chicano charges that
non-Chicanos were insensit(ve to
Chicano community concerns.
"I think that obvious social
work practical methodology is
culture and lifestyle," said Ford.
"What we do have is practice modalities which are applicable to a
variety of individual concerns.
"To say it is impossible for
non-Chicanos to work with Chicanos just is not true."
Solis said the Chicano graduate
students all want to be involved in
selecting future Chicano grad
students, as was the practice until Ford lltopped it last year.
"We feel we can make better
selections because we know and
understand the Chicano's cultural
background more than non-Chi-
canos," said Solis.
Ford said the Aclmis~ions
Committee, whose five members
consist of three no11-m inority
graduate students, one from the
Black caucus, and one frorn TH,
reviews all candidates l>ut no
lo11ger allows Chicanos to exclusively interview Chicanos because of the possibility of reverse discrimination.
He said the school would l>e
open to lawsuits lrom non-minority students who felt they were
being denied admission.
Solis said the relevancy of
Chkanos selecting Chicanos is
that through involvement in an interview they can tell "quite a bit"
about the individual.
· "We have to select the best
Chicanos who will be the best social workers," he said.
TR is also dissatisfied in the
area of recruiting minorities into
the school, charging that many of
the responsibilities are placed on
TR.
"It's the school's responsibility to have an effective recruitment program," said Solis. "It's
the students' responsibility to assist as much _as possible. They
haven't tak~n the initiative to do
recruiting or to ailocate monies."
Ford commented, "The effectiveness of the Admissions Committee to recruit minorities certainly is not as active as in the
past."
He said this is affected by the
difficulty of students to obtain financial assistance to stay in
school. He said that financial
packages and training g r a n t s
available for graduate students
are dwindling. He said of the
present financial assistance Chicanos receive 65 per cent.
He also said the school is not
receiving funds to effectively recruit, although they apply for
monies from the universities.
"I'll be the first to admit recruiting is inadeauate overall "
said Ford, "but ,;e have to co~sider these factors."
Solis said he hopes students
will respond to the issues through
the rally.
•
on issues, retreat
At its faculty meeting yesterday I the La Raza Studies staff
discussed several important
problems facing the program.
the conference."
The meeting promises to be
controversial and stimulating to
any student interested in the
Movement, said Saragoza. Many
of the Chicano "heavies" in history, sociology, anthropology,
and other disciplines will present
papers and comments on the
above issues.
Students interested in further
information should contact Alex
S.aragoza in La Raza Studies
( 487-2848) as soon as possible.
Apparently the administration
has decided to cut back the faculty allocation of the program.
Presently the program has an
allocation of 7.05 positions. For
the academic year 1976-77, the
program has been slated for -a
6.50 allocation. According to La
Raza Studies director Alex Saragoza, the cutback is in fact one
whole position from previous administration commitments.
Chicanas
Saragoza stated that the program was to receive an allocation
of 7.55 positions for 1975-76.
Later this was reduced to 7 .o 5.
Therefore, since last year, the
program has in effect taken a cut
of one position; one instructor
usually offers four classes.
"A vicious cycle occurs," said
Saragoza, "since our enrollment
will decline further because we
will offer fewer classes due to the
cutback.
"Since
the administration
bases its attack on low enrollments in La Raza Studies, this
is setting us up for another cut
next year."
On the other hand, Saragoza
admitted that enrollment in La

Political Association (MAPA),

A $3 registration f:e, which

Raza Studies ha~ leveled off from
previous years.
"Perhaps we are seeing a
change," s.aid Saragoza, "in what
students expect from the program."
Consequently, he said, the faculty will review the curriculum
of the program. Saragoza stated
that the review committee will
consist of students and faculty.
RETREAT DISCUSSED
The most important issue,
however, was the discussion of
