MAPA Endorses ·Carter
By Pete Ramirez
The
Mexican-American
Political
Association (MAPA) which helped its
state presidential endorsing convention
in 'Fresno the weekend of September
fifth narrowly endorsed President Carter
for renomination despite opposition
from many of the delegates.
MAP A has traditionally supported
Democratic Party endorsements, but

this nearly changed. President Carter
was endorsed with a minimum number of 64 votes. Had he recieved one
vote less he would not have had the
60 percent majority required for endorsement.
MAPA delegates at the state endorsing convention have voted to carry out
an 18 month moratorium on the Coors
boycott.
Edward Sandoval, national president

of MAPA emphasized that the boycott
has not been dropped, but merely had
an 18 month moratorium declared.
After 18 months, MAPA will decide
whether to resume the boycott.
The boycott was called 12 years ago
because of the hiring practices of the
brewery in Colorado. The practices were
felt to be discriminatory.
Sandoval stated that a special committee will nogotiate with Bill and Joe·
,Coors, owners of the Coors Company.

The moratorium was called m order
to have more leverage regarding Coors
and afirmative action,_" said Sandoval.
w It must be remembered that the 60%
majority was by only one vote: This
should be clear message to President
Carter that he must work harder to
secure the Hispanic vote," stated
Edward Sandoval, National President of
MAPA.

Arciniega Sets Priorities
by Fernando Quintero
C.S.U.F.'s
Vice-President.
Dr.
Tqmas Arciniega, discussed the priority areas in academic affairs with emphasis o,:i revising the general education program ..
Born in Texas, and a father of four,
Arciniega has had considerable
amount of administrative backaround
serving on the faculty of the university
of New Mexico, then associate Dean of
the graduate school at El Paso University, and recently the only Chicano
Dean in the California State University
Colleges system serving seven years
at San Diego State.
Speaking in both Spanish and English,
Dr. Arciniega listed the major areas of
concern which began with what he
explained as the need to develop a more
comprehensive program of outside
funded projects, specifically entailing
the development of certain research and
training pfograms and funded activities
that would compliment and strengthen
our basic program areas. ·
·
The reorganization of academic
affairs was another area of concern
Dr. Arciniega commented on. This
would entail the changing of organizational structures including the different schools and departments. According to Arciniega, as it is now, C.S.U.F.
is over-structured for its size. A more
consistent,
appropriate
structure
needs to be developed that would be
more effective and efficient as far as
supporting the faculty and students.
Suggestions
included
reassigning
· faculty and administrative positions and
reducing the total number of Deans.
A new trustee policy that will imple,.,.... ,, ment significant changes in the general
, , , , , , , education requirem_
ents was also introduced by Dr. Arciniega. Such a policy
calls for a stronger liberal arts-based
general education program that will increase the nt1mber of required units from
40 to 46 units.

a

The proposed general education program will enable the university to get
away from what-Or. Arciniega considers
an overly "cafeteria" approach is where
a student has so many ways to reach the
mentioned requirements, making it
very difficult to ensure all students obtain that basic level of competence.
Proposals include working with a
tighter framework--to reduce the number of courses or redesign them.
As a regional university, C.S.U.F.
should be more responsive to regional
needs becoming much more closely
linked to the outlying communities in a
variety of different ways. "Being the
major university in this region, we have
a bigger, more central responsibility
to link, in a more functional and
effective way, the developing needs of
the San Joaquin Valley--culturally,
economically, as well as educationally,
The need to respond more effectively
to ethnic minorities including the
needs of Chicanos and Chicanas is one
example.
Also, a stronger effort to meet the
entry needs for students must be made.
A program should be organized to meet
.these needs which wouJd help the student who· recognizes a certain need or
- deficiency in his basic understanding of
certain institutional requirements. An
example of such a program would be a
study skills center, similar to the present
P.A.S.S. program, except more comprehensive.
Dr. Arciniega feels that it is most
unfortunate being the only Chicano
Vice-President in the CSUC system
when there are so many Chicanos and
Chicanas that would make effective
university administrators, academic
vice-presidents, and presidents. Being
the only one, however, is not anything

fies the beginning of the movement for
Independence by the colony of Mexico
against the mother country Spain .
When the revolt came against Spain
all races and classes had a hand in it. Of
these, the Indians had the most grievances. Shouldered with the heaviest
physical burdens, yet denied any voice in
shaping his own fate, he was seldom
more than a slave in his ancestral hotneland.
The restless mestizo, who was the offspring of the illicit love of the Spanish
conquerer for the Indian woman, emerged as an explosive social force . Offspring of both white and Indian, the
mestizo was accepted by neither. His
soul was torn on one hand by pride in his
father's power and on the other by resentment of the slight against his
mother. Economically, socially, and politically, he was an outcast. However, the
mestizo multiplied until he formed a sizable ~egment of the colonial population
with no loyalty to the Spanish Kings.
Then there were the creoles, the Spanish
born in the new world, who for 300 years
were angered at the superior privileges
of Gachupinos, Spaniards born in Spain.
These Gachupinos or Peninsulares held
most of the high positions in the new
world. Thus when revolt came, all Amer- ·
icans, creoles, mestizos and Indians joined in the clamor against the abuses of
colonial Spain.
In 1810 when news came of Napo- ,
lean' s usurpation of power in Madrid,
there was considerable excitement in

Mexico City and throughout the countryside. Local cabildos (city councils) controlled by creoles declared that they
were the government since Ferdinand
VII was imprisoned by Napolean.
The standard bearer or leader of the
Mexican movement for Independence
from Spain was Father Miguel Hidalgo y
Costilla, a parish priest in the village of
Dolores, Guanajuato, located 100 miles
northwest of Mexico City. Hidalgo who
had a curious mind had won respect for
his scholarship and curiosity and was
made president of the Colegio de San
Nicolas in Morelia. However because of
his curious mind ancf his reading of the
French Philosophers like Rousseau and
others, Hidalgo was charged with heresy
and moral lapses. He escaped conviction
but was banished to the parish of
Dolores.
Hidalgo's convictions soon involved
him in politics where he championed the
rights of the underdogs of Mexican society-the Indian and mestizo. He thus
became involved in a Social and literary
club of Queetaro, where a plot was already underway for declaring independence against Spain. The conspirators
had planned to announce in October,
however Spanish officials got wor<;f of it
and beg~n to arrest the members of
Queretaro literary club. At this pomt,
Dona Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, rode
out to Dolores to warn Hidalgo of the situation. In the evening of September 1S,
1810, Hidalgo ra,:1g the churchbells at
Dolores and called ~n _the_ Indian m~ses
and repea_ted the m1ust1ces Spaniards
had committed over the past 300 years .

Sevareid's fears seem justified by ininterviews with Chicano cultural and
political leaders who time and again
speak about seceding from the union
as "'inevitable,"' and "'a timely topic."'
Separatis sentiment is also constantly
reflected in street murals and popular
songs with refrains like:

Rudolfo Acuna, a ,professor·of Chicano
studies at California State University
at Northridge and the author of "'Occupied America, the Chicano Struggle

separatist movement could begin in
the next 10 or 20 years "'if there are
not dramatic changes in this society."'
"'The real talk of secessionism is

Arciniega has a long history of involvement as far as the improvement of
educational and program conditions for _
the ethnic minorities, particularly Chicanos. At San Diego State University,
Dr. Ar!=iniega was involved with the development of model programs in bilingual education and basic credential

and specalist areas. In terms of the
types of people recruited at the university, San Diego State has the largest

number of Hispanic PhD's of any
