A Tribute
As the 1980 CSUF soccer season finished with pel'.'haps its best season ever,
we should note the thrust behind the success of the team--Coach Jose Elgorriaga.
· The soccer team finished with a 15-4 season, including a 5-2 1eague record,
second only to nationally ranked and defending champion, University of San '
Francisco. Losing a heartbreaker at USF for the championship, the Bulldog's
only hopes for a berth in the NCAA playoffs ended this week as they were overlooked by the selection committee in favor of an East Coast team.
Coach Elgorriaga' s enthusiasm, both on and off the field, played a major
role in this grand achievement.
In only his "rookie" season coaching at CSUF, the players seemed to rally
around his leadership and pull together for victory.
'
I think Coach Elgorriaga has given Fresno soccer faps something to be excited
about for the next few years and many headaches for the Bulldog's future
opponents.
Our hats go off to you Coach.
Coach Elgorriaga consoles his players
after a toµgh loss.

Northwest
Church.
The show's topicality is rivaled only
by its energy and entertainment values
Besides possessing the lean dialogue
and broad physical characterizations
indicative of the Troup' s 20 years of
performing, the presdence of a foot
tapping, bouncy, five piece band insures
that a good time will be had by all. The
music, which is used throughout the
piece to illustrate mood, character and
situation, is eclectic in nature-featuring
elements of salsa, rancherop, funk, and
(surprisingly) even Broadway-I-ike show
tunes.
As with all Mime Troupe shows,
beneath the energetic veneer of precise
movement, fast dialogue and funky
music, lurks a serious concern of the

The origin . of the term Chicano is
traced to two schools· of thought, .both
plausible ·even ·though difficult to establish .
The first view is that Chicano stems
from what the Aztecs called themselvesMex icans-but they pronounced it with a
"sh' sound instead of "x" . After the
word Mexico was introduced to the Aztecs, they combined Mexicas with Mexico to form Meshicanos. It was later hypenated to·Meshicanos. The "Me", later
dropped, left Shicanos and through time
the "sh" became "ch"-hence Chicanos.
The second view is that Chicanos is a
combination of two words, chico (small)
and Mexicano. The belief is that AngloSaxons referred to anyone of Mexican
ancestry as Pancho, Pepe or Chico. The
word Chico was then coupled with Mexicano to form Chicano.
Chicano today is not commonly used
in Mexico. and although the term may
have originated with the Aztecs or
through Anglo-Saxon generalization,
Chicano now stands for something new ..
Chicanos are individuals of Mexican
ancestry who live in North American
society and are demanding recognition
as first-class citizens. Chicanos demand
the political and social rights p·romised
their ancestors after the MexicanAmerican War in 1848.
Chicanos want to retain their culture,
especially their language, and through
their struggle for political, social and
economic equality, Chicanos evolved
expecting their new appellation to
become the national expression.
Chicanos resent the label "MexicanAmerican," which they feel was imposed
on them by the "Gringo" or whitedominant society

BULLDOG RUNNING BACK, STEVE WOODS (33), HEADS FOR AN OPENING
AGAINST MONTANA STA,
'Dogs turn back MSU
By .Edward Aparicio
Photos . by Richard Ri OS .
Sporting a new stadium and a recordsetting attendence last saturday, the
Fresno State Bulldogs capped off a frustrating season with a thriller over Montana State University, 21-14.
Defensive back Anthony Washington,
a proprospect, tackled MSU fullback Jeff
Davis at the three yard line with seven
seconits left to preserve the Bulldog vietory.
Performing before . a near capacity
. crowd of 30,000, FSU's sound defense,
led by Greg "Hubba" Stevens, once
again held the opponent off-balance until
their offense got rolling.
·
Four times the Bulldogs were denied a
score prior to intermission as they were
intercepted twice and usually reliable
place kicker, Dean Slattery missed two
field goals.
Unable to score for most of the first
half, FSU struck first when quarterback
Sergio Toscano connected with senior
wide reciever Steve Mooshagian for a 36yard touchdown toss.
The second haJf showed two totally dif
ferent teams than from the first~ MSU
quickly moved the ball down the field
due to a shift in offensive formation and
the running of quarterback Barry Sullivan. With runs of 32 yards and 17 yards,
Sullivan ran the final 5 to tie the score at
7-7. But that was the last time MSU was
to be in contention until the closing mom~b.
FSU quickly struck back driving 73 yds
in just three play~:
Having trouble at the outset, Toscano
CSUF DIRECTOR .OF ATHLETICS, RUSS SLOAN,
MAKES WELCOMING ADDRESS
began finding his range thanks to the
pass protection he was recieving from a
strong offensive line.
Toscano hit wide reciever Henry
Ellard on what appeared to be a short
slant-in. Demo~st~ating his versatility as
an athlete, Ellard put on an array of
moves to escape from several of MSU 's
pass defenders to complete a 66 yard
run for a touchdown. This made the
score 14-7.
Aided by an adequate passing game,
· Steve Woods provided the crowd with a
series of exciting runs. Slashing and
slanting past the MSU defenders, Wood
ended up with 77 yards on 15 carries.
Ken Lovely, shaking off season-long
injuries, demonstrated last years form
with outbursts of speed and helped set
up the winning margin.
On the winning drive, Lovely and Ted
Torosian gained the bulk of the yardage
thanks to the huge holes their offensive
line were opening up. When the Bulldogs closed in on the goal line, dependable Torosian popped in from the one.
Score FSU 21-7.
The game appeared '". . as a few
spectators were leaving, but the Bobcats
came back quickly as they intercepted
quarterback Gary Kaiser to begin their
final drive.
· Although the offense put the points on
the scoreboard, the Bulldog defense play
ed awesome.
With Hubba Stevens spearheading
their defense, FSU punished the MSU
offensive attack. Allowing but 58 yards
total offense in the first half, the defense
kept MSU in check throughout the game.
Other standouts for the Bulldogs on
defense were Wendel Williams, Tim
Washington, Granvil Redmond, Pat ColI
lins, aod Mike Silva. Stevens, constant y
in the MSU backfield, finished with 9
tackles, including 3 quarterback sacks.
He was recently named athlete of the
week by the sportswriters for the second
time this season.
.
Thus, having finished the season with
a 5-6 record, perhaps FSU and coach Jim
Sweeney can expect bigger and better
things now with the new stadium and all.

·Mini-Corp a success
by Rosalva Villegas
In the late 1960s the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act was amended
to provide supplemental assistance to
schools attended by children of migratory farmworkers . In California the
responsibility for the implementation
and administration of this program
was given to the Bureau of Community
Services and Migrant Education, in
hopes of producing educators that
would be sensitive to migrant student's
needs. Mini Corps was formed .
.The idea for a corps of young people
with one or more years at college, from
a rural migrant background, who could
use their talents in helping with classrooms , extra-curricular activities and
migrant camp projects, that would make
education meaningful to migrant children and their families. Living in the
labor camps, they deal personally with
each child and his family, serving as
role models for migrant children.
Mini-Corps engages in two types
of programs, year round and summer.
The year round program is open only
to juniors and seniors, in college,
majoring in education.
They must
have a C.P.A. of 2.5 and should have
knowledge of migrant family lifestyle.
Students should be able to communicate
in
both English
and
in either
Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog or Pubjabi .
The year round students work in
the various elementary schools in
Fresno, assisting with instruction of
migrant children. Mini-Corp students
are under the supervision of their
college coordinator and are evaluated
twice a year.
The summer program members can
be from any class level, but must
meet the same requirements as the year
round participants. The' summer program entails living in and around
the migrant camps.
The student is
assigned to a master teacher for the
duration of the summer, who helps
the Mini-Corps student develop skills
in the teaching of migrant children .
Campus
Radio
at CSUF
Bret Kofford
Campus radio station KFSR is now
almosnhrough with the difficult process
of completing an FM license application.
Within months, the campus radio station
will be able to broadcast into ttie community cultural and educational events
and programming.
There have been a few setbacks
in the important FM step .. Vandalism
and finding the time necessary to do
the footwork and paperwork required by
the Federal Communication Commission
have been obstacles. Part of the work
required is a community ascertainment
study of civic leaders. Public officialr
and minority leaders have been interviewed in an attempt to find out the
problems of the area and how, as an
educational station, KFSR can serve the
community.
Almost all of the difficult work on
the application is behind for KFSR .
Now, it's simply a matter of getting
FCC approval and seting up the proper
equipment . When the station does go
on the air as a 150 watt FM station which
will cover up to 75 miles radius, the
KFSR staff hopes to serve the Central
Valley with alternative, educational
and cultural programming, something
desperately lacking in Fresno radio
today.

USF Dons defeat Bulldog kickers
Despite having their most successful
season in history, the CSUF soccer team
succumbed to the defending champions,
Univeristy of San Francisco 4-1.
Displaying guttsy desire, the Bulldogs
were simply beaten by experience and
home #field" advantage.
Tony Brown scored the first and
lone goal for CSUF, but that was to be
all.
USF showed their poise in the waning
moments and pushing across four
goals late in the game.
Winding up -the season with 15-4
record, including a string of seven
straight, the Bulldog's dream of an
at-large berth in the NCAA play-offs
were ended Tuesday. The selection
committee chose an East Coast team.
With a successful season under their
belt, the soccer team should prove to
be the team to beat next year.

Labels
Conservative members of the Mexican
American community often refuse to
accept the term Chicano because of the
persons who initially identified with the
term.
•
It was the militants who first used the
term . And many Mexicans refused to
associate with militants.
Adding to . the Chicanos' problems
are two main groups within the MexicanAmerican community that despise
being called Chicanos and at times denounce those who identify with the t.erm .
The first group consists of MexicanAmericans who do not associate with
other Mexicans and who disown most
aspects of the Mexican culture.
Members of this group generally
speak English most of the time, which
for them symbolizes prestige. These
persons are called "coconuts" by other
Mexican-Americans: brown on the outside and white inside. Coconut is used
. by Mexican-Americans as "Oreo" is
used by Blacks and "banana" by
Orientals.
Within this group are MexicanAmericans who for many years have said
they are Hispanic-Americans.
This
practice was called "passing" in the
1930s and early 1940s. By calling themselves Hispanic-Americans, they disregarded their Indian ancestry in order
to become more acceptable in the
dominant Anglo society .
The second group that scorns "Chicano" consists of persons of Mex·ican
descent who have never identified with
North _
A merican society and who identify
with the appel!a~ion "Mexican."
Members ot this group almost always
will associate with Mexico~s customs.
First-generation Mexicans who immigrate to the United States think along
the lines of not identifying with either
North American culture or with U.S:
born Mexicans.
This resistance has stifled recognition
of the term Chicano as the national selfidentifying expression. ··
The term Chicano might have first
been used by trouble-making militants
or persons ·with vulgar expressions,
but now counselors, teachers and some
politicians of Mexican descent identify
with the term. Chicanos have been the
ones who have been pushing for jobs and
political positions for those of Mexican
descent living in the U.S.
In any event, the search by various
groups and individuals for a self-identifying name goes on. And the various
appellations with which certain persons
identify probably always ~ill exist be-
cause of the varying cultural and political
backgrounds--more so with a constalt
influx of _persons who simply want to be
called "Mexicans."
"Hispano" or "Latino" are
the safest terms to use, e s ~ ·
a large gathering of perSOl'.15 of
·
descent.
But, it probably would be wi
to
simply ask a person what they prefer
to be called.

A Tribute
As the 1980 CSUF soccer season finished with pel'.'haps its best season ever,
we should note the thrust behind the success of the team--Coach Jose Elgorriaga.
· The soccer team finished with a 15-4 season, including a 5-2 1eague record,
second only to nationally ranked and defending champion, University of San '
Francisco. Losing a heartbreaker at USF for the championship, the Bulldog's
only hopes for a berth in the NCAA playoffs ended this week as they were overlooked by the selection committee in favor of an East Coast team.
Coach Elgorriaga' s enthusiasm, both on and off the field, played a major
role in this grand achievement.
In only his "rookie" season coaching at CSUF, the players seemed to rally
around his leadership and pull together for victory.
'
I think Coach Elgorriaga has given Fresno soccer faps something to be excited
about for the next few years and many headaches for the Bulldog's future
opponents.
Our hats go off to you Coach.
Coach Elgorriaga consoles his players
after a toµgh loss.

The show's topicality is rivaled only
by its energy and entertainment values
Besides possessing the lean dialogue
and broad physical characterizations
indicative of the Troup' s 20 years of
performing, the presdence of a foot

elements of salsa, rancherop, funk, and
(surprisingly) even Broadway-I-ike show
tunes.
As with all Mime Troupe shows,
beneath the energetic veneer of precise

The origin . of the term Chicano is
traced to two schools· of thought, .both
plausible ·even ·though difficult to establish .
The first view is that Chicano stems
from what the Aztecs called themselvesMex icans-but they pronounced it with a
"sh' sound instead of "x" . After the
word Mexico was introduced to the Aztecs, they combined Mexicas with Mexico to form Meshicanos. It was later hypenated to·Meshicanos. The "Me", later
dropped, left Shicanos and through time
the "sh" became "ch"-hence Chicanos.
The second view is that Chicanos is a
combination of two words, chico (small)
and Mexicano. The belief is that AngloSaxons referred to anyone of Mexican
ancestry as Pancho, Pepe or Chico. The
word Chico was then coupled with Mexicano to form Chicano.
Chicano today is not commonly used
in Mexico. and although the term may
have originated with the Aztecs or
through Anglo-Saxon generalization,
Chicano now stands for something new ..
Chicanos are individuals of Mexican
ancestry who live in North American
society and are demanding recognition
as first-class citizens. Chicanos demand
the political and social rights p·romised
their ancestors after the MexicanAmerican War in 1848.
Chicanos want to retain their culture,
especially their language, and through
their struggle for political, social and
economic equality, Chicanos evolved
expecting their new appellation to
become the national expression.
Chicanos resent the label "MexicanAmerican," which they feel was imposed
on them by the "Gringo" or whitedominant society

BULLDOG RUNNING BACK, STEVE WOODS (33), HEADS FOR AN OPENING
AGAINST MONTANA STA,
'Dogs turn back MSU
By .Edward Aparicio
Photos . by Richard Ri OS .
Sporting a new stadium and a recordsetting attendence last saturday, the
Fresno State Bulldogs capped off a frustrating season with a thriller over Montana State University, 21-14.
Defensive back Anthony Washington,
a proprospect, tackled MSU fullback Jeff
Davis at the three yard line with seven
seconits left to preserve the Bulldog vietory.
Performing before . a near capacity
. crowd of 30,000, FSU's sound defense,
led by Greg "Hubba" Stevens, once
again held the opponent off-balance until
their offense got rolling.
·
Four times the Bulldogs were denied a
score prior to intermission as they were
intercepted twice and usually reliable
place kicker, Dean Slattery missed two
field goals.
Unable to score for most of the first
half, FSU struck first when quarterback
Sergio Toscano connected with senior
wide reciever Steve Mooshagian for a 36yard touchdown toss.
The second haJf showed two totally dif
ferent teams than from the first~ MSU
quickly moved the ball down the field
due to a shift in offensive formation and
the running of quarterback Barry Sullivan. With runs of 32 yards and 17 yards,
Sullivan ran the final 5 to tie the score at
7-7. But that was the last time MSU was
to be in contention until the closing mom~b.
FSU quickly struck back driving 73 yds
in just three play~:
Having trouble at the outset, Toscano
CSUF DIRECTOR .OF ATHLETICS, RUSS SLOAN,
MAKES WELCOMING ADDRESS
began finding his range thanks to the
pass protection he was recieving from a
strong offensive line.
Toscano hit wide reciever Henry
Ellard on what appeared to be a short
slant-in. Demo~st~ating his versatility as
an athlete, Ellard put on an array of
moves to escape from several of MSU 's
pass defenders to complete a 66 yard
run for a touchdown. This made the
score 14-7.
Aided by an adequate passing game,
· Steve Woods provided the crowd with a
series of exciting runs. Slashing and
slanting past the MSU defenders, Wood
ended up with 77 yards on 15 carries.
Ken Lovely, shaking off season-long
injuries, demonstrated last years form
with outbursts of speed and helped set
up the winning margin.
On the winning drive, Lovely and Ted
Torosian gained the bulk of the yardage
thanks to the huge holes their offensive
line were opening up. When the Bulldogs closed in on the goal line, dependable Torosian popped in from the one.
Score FSU 21-7.
The game appeared '". . as a few
spectators were leaving, but the Bobcats
came back quickly as they intercepted
quarterback Gary Kaiser to begin their
final drive.
· Although the offense put the points on
the scoreboard, the Bulldog defense play
ed awesome.
With Hubba Stevens spearheading
their defense, FSU punished the MSU
offensive attack. Allowing but 58 yards
total offense in the first half, the defense
kept MSU in check throughout the game.
Other standouts for the Bulldogs on
defense were Wendel Williams, Tim
Washington, Granvil Redmond, Pat ColI
lins, aod Mike Silva. Stevens, constant y
in the MSU backfield, finished with 9
tackles, including 3 quarterback sacks.
He was recently named athlete of the
week by the sportswriters for the second
time this season.
.
Thus, having finished the season with
a 5-6 record, perhaps FSU and coach Jim
Sweeney can expect bigger and better
things now with the new stadium and all.

·Mini-Corp a success
by Rosalva Villegas
In the late 1960s the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act was amended
to provide supplemental assistance to
schools attended by children of migratory farmworkers . In California the
responsibility for the implementation
and administration of this program
was given to the Bureau of Community
Services and Migrant Education, in
hopes of producing educators that
would be sensitive to migrant student's
needs. Mini Corps was formed .
.The idea for a corps of young people
with one or more years at college, from
a rural migrant background, who could
use their talents in helping with classrooms , extra-curricular activities and
migrant camp projects, that would make
education meaningful to migrant children and their families. Living in the
labor camps, they deal personally with
each child and his family, serving as
role models for migrant children.
Mini-Corps engages in two types
of programs, year round and summer.
The year round program is open only
to juniors and seniors, in college,
majoring in education.
They must
have a C.P.A. of 2.5 and should have
knowledge of migrant family lifestyle.
Students should be able to communicate
in
both English
and
in either
Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog or Pubjabi .
The year round students work in
the various elementary schools in
Fresno, assisting with instruction of
migrant children. Mini-Corp students
are under the supervision of their
college coordinator and are evaluated
twice a year.
The summer program members can
be from any class level, but must
meet the same requirements as the year
round participants. The' summer program entails living in and around
the migrant camps.
The student is
assigned to a master teacher for the
duration of the summer, who helps
the Mini-Corps student develop skills
in the teaching of migrant children .
Campus
Radio
at CSUF
Bret Kofford
Campus radio station KFSR is now
almosnhrough with the difficult process
of completing an FM license application.
Within months, the campus radio station
will be able to broadcast into ttie community cultural and educational events
and programming.
There have been a few setbacks
in the important FM step .. Vandalism
and finding the time necessary to do
the footwork and paperwork required by
the Federal Communication Commission
have been obstacles. Part of the work
required is a community ascertainment
study of civic leaders. Public officialr
and minority leaders have been interviewed in an attempt to find out the
problems of the area and how, as an
educational station, KFSR can serve the
community.
Almost all of the difficult work on
the application is behind for KFSR .
Now, it's simply a matter of getting
FCC approval and seting up the proper
equipment . When the station does go
on the air as a 150 watt FM station which
will cover up to 75 miles radius, the
KFSR staff hopes to serve the Central
Valley with alternative, educational
and cultural programming, something
desperately lacking in Fresno radio
today.

USF Dons defeat Bulldog kickers
Despite having their most successful
season in history, the CSUF soccer team
succumbed to the defending champions,
Univeristy of San Francisco 4-1.
Displaying guttsy desire, the Bulldogs
were simply beaten by experience and
home #field" advantage.
Tony Brown scored the first and
lone goal for CSUF, but that was to be
all.
USF showed their poise in the waning
moments and pushing across four
goals late in the game.
Winding up -the season with 15-4
record, including a string of seven
straight, the Bulldog's dream of an
at-large berth in the NCAA play-offs
were ended Tuesday. The selection
committee chose an East Coast team.
With a successful season under their
belt, the soccer team should prove to
be the team to beat next year.

Labels
Conservative members of the Mexican
American community often refuse to
accept the term Chicano because of the
persons who initially identified with the
term.
•
It was the militants who first used the
term . And many Mexicans refused to
associate with militants.
Adding to . the Chicanos' problems
are two main groups within the MexicanAmerican community that despise
being called Chicanos and at times denounce those who identify with the t.erm .
The first group consists of MexicanAmericans who do not associate with
other Mexicans and who disown most
aspects of the Mexican culture.
Members of this group generally
speak English most of the time, which
for them symbolizes prestige. These
persons are called "coconuts" by other
Mexican-Americans: brown on the outside and white inside. Coconut is used
. by Mexican-Americans as "Oreo" is
used by Blacks and "banana" by
Orientals.
Within this group are MexicanAmericans who for many years have said
they are Hispanic-Americans.
This
practice was called "passing" in the
1930s and early 1940s. By calling themselves Hispanic-Americans, they disregarded their Indian ancestry in order
to become more acceptable in the
dominant Anglo society .
The second group that scorns "Chicano" consists of persons of Mex·ican
descent who have never identified with
North _
A merican society and who identify
with the appel!a~ion "Mexican."
Members ot this group almost always
will associate with Mexico~s customs.
First-generation Mexicans who immigrate to the United States think along
the lines of not identifying with either
North American culture or with U.S:
born Mexicans.
This resistance has stifled recognition
of the term Chicano as the national selfidentifying expression. ··
The term Chicano might have first
been used by trouble-making militants
or persons ·with vulgar expressions,
but now counselors, teachers and some
politicians of Mexican descent identify
with the term. Chicanos have been the
ones who have been pushing for jobs and
political positions for those of Mexican
descent living in the U.S.
In any event, the search by various
groups and individuals for a self-identifying name goes on. And the various
appellations with which certain persons
identify probably always ~ill exist be-
cause of the varying cultural and political
backgrounds--more so with a constalt
influx of _persons who simply want to be
called "Mexicans."
"Hispano" or "Latino" are
the safest terms to use, e s ~ ·
a large gathering of perSOl'.15 of
·
descent.
But, it probably would be wi
to
simply ask a person what they prefer
to be called.

A Tribute
As the 1980 CSUF soccer season finished with pel'.'haps its best season ever,
we should note the thrust behind the success of the team--Coach Jose Elgorriaga.
· The soccer team finished with a 15-4 season, including a 5-2 1eague record,
second only to nationally ranked and defending champion, University of San '
Francisco. Losing a heartbreaker at USF for the championship, the Bulldog's
only hopes for a berth in the NCAA playoffs ended this week as they were overlooked by the selection committee in favor of an East Coast team.
Coach Elgorriaga' s enthusiasm, both on and off the field, played a major
role in this grand achievement.
In only his "rookie" season coaching at CSUF, the players seemed to rally
around his leadership and pull together for victory.
'
I think Coach Elgorriaga has given Fresno soccer faps something to be excited
about for the next few years and many headaches for the Bulldog's future
opponents.
Our hats go off to you Coach.
Coach Elgorriaga consoles his players
after a toµgh loss.

The show's topicality is rivaled only
by its energy and entertainment values
Besides possessing the lean dialogue
and broad physical characterizations
indicative of the Troup' s 20 years of

elements of salsa, rancherop, funk, and
(surprisingly) even Broadway-I-ike show
tunes.
As with all Mime Troupe shows,
beneath the energetic veneer of precise

The origin . of the term Chicano is
traced to two schools· of thought, .both
plausible ·even ·though difficult to establish .
The first view is that Chicano stems
from what the Aztecs called themselvesMex icans-but they pronounced it with a
"sh' sound instead of "x" . After the
word Mexico was introduced to the Aztecs, they combined Mexicas with Mexico to form Meshicanos. It was later hypenated to·Meshicanos. The "Me", later
dropped, left Shicanos and through time
the "sh" became "ch"-hence Chicanos.
The second view is that Chicanos is a
combination of two words, chico (small)
and Mexicano. The belief is that AngloSaxons referred to anyone of Mexican
ancestry as Pancho, Pepe or Chico. The
word Chico was then coupled with Mexicano to form Chicano.
Chicano today is not commonly used
in Mexico. and although the term may
have originated with the Aztecs or
through Anglo-Saxon generalization,
Chicano now stands for something new ..
Chicanos are individuals of Mexican
ancestry who live in North American
society and are demanding recognition
as first-class citizens. Chicanos demand
the political and social rights p·romised
their ancestors after the MexicanAmerican War in 1848.
Chicanos want to retain their culture,
especially their language, and through
their struggle for political, social and
economic equality, Chicanos evolved
expecting their new appellation to
become the national expression.
Chicanos resent the label "MexicanAmerican," which they feel was imposed
on them by the "Gringo" or whitedominant society

BULLDOG RUNNING BACK, STEVE WOODS (33), HEADS FOR AN OPENING
AGAINST MONTANA STA,
'Dogs turn back MSU
By .Edward Aparicio
Photos . by Richard Ri OS .
Sporting a new stadium and a recordsetting attendence last saturday, the
Fresno State Bulldogs capped off a frustrating season with a thriller over Montana State University, 21-14.
Defensive back Anthony Washington,
a proprospect, tackled MSU fullback Jeff
Davis at the three yard line with seven
seconits left to preserve the Bulldog vietory.
Performing before . a near capacity
. crowd of 30,000, FSU's sound defense,
led by Greg "Hubba" Stevens, once
again held the opponent off-balance until
their offense got rolling.
·
Four times the Bulldogs were denied a
score prior to intermission as they were
intercepted twice and usually reliable
place kicker, Dean Slattery missed two
field goals.
Unable to score for most of the first
half, FSU struck first when quarterback
Sergio Toscano connected with senior
wide reciever Steve Mooshagian for a 36yard touchdown toss.
The second haJf showed two totally dif
ferent teams than from the first~ MSU
quickly moved the ball down the field
due to a shift in offensive formation and
the running of quarterback Barry Sullivan. With runs of 32 yards and 17 yards,
Sullivan ran the final 5 to tie the score at
7-7. But that was the last time MSU was
to be in contention until the closing mom~b.
FSU quickly struck back driving 73 yds
in just three play~:
Having trouble at the outset, Toscano
CSUF DIRECTOR .OF ATHLETICS, RUSS SLOAN,
MAKES WELCOMING ADDRESS
began finding his range thanks to the
pass protection he was recieving from a
strong offensive line.
Toscano hit wide reciever Henry
Ellard on what appeared to be a short
slant-in. Demo~st~ating his versatility as
an athlete, Ellard put on an array of
moves to escape from several of MSU 's
pass defenders to complete a 66 yard
run for a touchdown. This made the
score 14-7.
Aided by an adequate passing game,
· Steve Woods provided the crowd with a
series of exciting runs. Slashing and
slanting past the MSU defenders, Wood
ended up with 77 yards on 15 carries.
Ken Lovely, shaking off season-long
injuries, demonstrated last years form
with outbursts of speed and helped set
up the winning margin.
On the winning drive, Lovely and Ted
Torosian gained the bulk of the yardage
thanks to the huge holes their offensive
line were opening up. When the Bulldogs closed in on the goal line, dependable Torosian popped in from the one.
Score FSU 21-7.
The game appeared '". . as a few
spectators were leaving, but the Bobcats
came back quickly as they intercepted
quarterback Gary Kaiser to begin their
final drive.
· Although the offense put the points on
the scoreboard, the Bulldog defense play
ed awesome.
With Hubba Stevens spearheading
their defense, FSU punished the MSU
offensive attack. Allowing but 58 yards
total offense in the first half, the defense
kept MSU in check throughout the game.
Other standouts for the Bulldogs on
defense were Wendel Williams, Tim
Washington, Granvil Redmond, Pat ColI
lins, aod Mike Silva. Stevens, constant y
in the MSU backfield, finished with 9
tackles, including 3 quarterback sacks.
He was recently named athlete of the
week by the sportswriters for the second
time this season.
.
Thus, having finished the season with
a 5-6 record, perhaps FSU and coach Jim
Sweeney can expect bigger and better
things now with the new stadium and all.

·Mini-Corp a success
by Rosalva Villegas
In the late 1960s the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act was amended
to provide supplemental assistance to
schools attended by children of migratory farmworkers . In California the
responsibility for the implementation
and administration of this program
was given to the Bureau of Community
Services and Migrant Education, in
hopes of producing educators that
would be sensitive to migrant student's
needs. Mini Corps was formed .
.The idea for a corps of young people
with one or more years at college, from
a rural migrant background, who could
use their talents in helping with classrooms , extra-curricular activities and
migrant camp projects, that would make
education meaningful to migrant children and their families. Living in the
labor camps, they deal personally with
each child and his family, serving as
role models for migrant children.
Mini-Corps engages in two types
of programs, year round and summer.
The year round program is open only
to juniors and seniors, in college,
majoring in education.
They must
have a C.P.A. of 2.5 and should have
knowledge of migrant family lifestyle.
Students should be able to communicate
in
both English
and
in either
Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog or Pubjabi .
The year round students work in
the various elementary schools in
Fresno, assisting with instruction of
migrant children. Mini-Corp students
are under the supervision of their
college coordinator and are evaluated
twice a year.
The summer program members can
be from any class level, but must
meet the same requirements as the year
round participants. The' summer program entails living in and around
the migrant camps.
The student is
assigned to a master teacher for the
duration of the summer, who helps
the Mini-Corps student develop skills
in the teaching of migrant children .
Campus
Radio
at CSUF
Bret Kofford
Campus radio station KFSR is now
almosnhrough with the difficult process
of completing an FM license application.
Within months, the campus radio station
will be able to broadcast into ttie community cultural and educational events
and programming.
There have been a few setbacks
in the important FM step .. Vandalism
and finding the time necessary to do
the footwork and paperwork required by
the Federal Communication Commission
have been obstacles. Part of the work
required is a community ascertainment
study of civic leaders. Public officialr
and minority leaders have been interviewed in an attempt to find out the
problems of the area and how, as an
educational station, KFSR can serve the
community.
Almost all of the difficult work on
the application is behind for KFSR .
Now, it's simply a matter of getting
FCC approval and seting up the proper
equipment . When the station does go
on the air as a 150 watt FM station which
will cover up to 75 miles radius, the
KFSR staff hopes to serve the Central
Valley with alternative, educational
and cultural programming, something
desperately lacking in Fresno radio
today.

USF Dons defeat Bulldog kickers
Despite having their most successful
season in history, the CSUF soccer team
succumbed to the defending champions,
Univeristy of San Francisco 4-1.
Displaying guttsy desire, the Bulldogs
were simply beaten by experience and
home #field" advantage.
Tony Brown scored the first and
lone goal for CSUF, but that was to be
all.
USF showed their poise in the waning
moments and pushing across four
goals late in the game.
Winding up -the season with 15-4
record, including a string of seven
straight, the Bulldog's dream of an
at-large berth in the NCAA play-offs
were ended Tuesday. The selection
committee chose an East Coast team.
With a successful season under their
belt, the soccer team should prove to
be the team to beat next year.

Labels
Conservative members of the Mexican
American community often refuse to
accept the term Chicano because of the
persons who initially identified with the
term.
•
It was the militants who first used the
term . And many Mexicans refused to
associate with militants.
Adding to . the Chicanos' problems
are two main groups within the MexicanAmerican community that despise
being called Chicanos and at times denounce those who identify with the t.erm .
The first group consists of MexicanAmericans who do not associate with
other Mexicans and who disown most
aspects of the Mexican culture.
Members of this group generally
speak English most of the time, which
for them symbolizes prestige. These
persons are called "coconuts" by other
Mexican-Americans: brown on the outside and white inside. Coconut is used
. by Mexican-Americans as "Oreo" is
used by Blacks and "banana" by
Orientals.
Within this group are MexicanAmericans who for many years have said
they are Hispanic-Americans.
This
practice was called "passing" in the
1930s and early 1940s. By calling themselves Hispanic-Americans, they disregarded their Indian ancestry in order
to become more acceptable in the
dominant Anglo society .
The second group that scorns "Chicano" consists of persons of Mex·ican
descent who have never identified with
North _
A merican society and who identify
with the appel!a~ion "Mexican."
Members ot this group almost always
will associate with Mexico~s customs.
First-generation Mexicans who immigrate to the United States think along
the lines of not identifying with either
North American culture or with U.S:
born Mexicans.
This resistance has stifled recognition
of the term Chicano as the national selfidentifying expression. ··
The term Chicano might have first
been used by trouble-making militants
or persons ·with vulgar expressions,
but now counselors, teachers and some
politicians of Mexican descent identify
with the term. Chicanos have been the
ones who have been pushing for jobs and
political positions for those of Mexican
descent living in the U.S.
In any event, the search by various
groups and individuals for a self-identifying name goes on. And the various
appellations with which certain persons
identify probably always ~ill exist be-
cause of the varying cultural and political
backgrounds--more so with a constalt
influx of _persons who simply want to be
called "Mexicans."
"Hispano" or "Latino" are
the safest terms to use, e s ~ ·
a large gathering of perSOl'.15 of
·
descent.
But, it probably would be wi
to
simply ask a person what they prefer
to be called.

second only to nationally ranked and defending champion, University of San '
Francisco. Losing a heartbreaker at USF for the championship, the Bulldog's
only hopes for a berth in the NCAA playoffs ended this week as they were overlooked by the selection committee in favor of an East Coast team.
Coach Elgorriaga' s enthusiasm, both on and off the field, played a major
role in this grand achievement.
In only his "rookie" season coaching at CSUF, the players seemed to rally
around his leadership and pull together for victory.
'
I think Coach Elgorriaga has given Fresno soccer faps something to be excited
about for the next few years and many headaches for the Bulldog's future
opponents.
Our hats go off to you Coach.

The origin . of the term Chicano is
traced to two schools· of thought, .both
plausible ·even ·though difficult to establish .
The first view is that Chicano stems
from what the Aztecs called themselvesMex icans-but they pronounced it with a
"sh' sound instead of "x" . After the
word Mexico was introduced to the Aztecs, they combined Mexicas with Mexico to form Meshicanos. It was later hypenated to·Meshicanos. The "Me", later
dropped, left Shicanos and through time
the "sh" became "ch"-hence Chicanos.
The second view is that Chicanos is a
combination of two words, chico (small)
and Mexicano. The belief is that AngloSaxons referred to anyone of Mexican
ancestry as Pancho, Pepe or Chico. The
word Chico was then coupled with Mexicano to form Chicano.
Chicano today is not commonly used
in Mexico. and although the term may
have originated with the Aztecs or
through Anglo-Saxon generalization,
Chicano now stands for something new ..
Chicanos are individuals of Mexican
ancestry who live in North American
society and are demanding recognition
as first-class citizens. Chicanos demand
the political and social rights p·romised
their ancestors after the MexicanAmerican War in 1848.
Chicanos want to retain their culture,
especially their language, and through
their struggle for political, social and
economic equality, Chicanos evolved
expecting their new appellation to
become the national expression.
Chicanos resent the label "MexicanAmerican," which they feel was imposed
on them by the "Gringo" or whitedominant society

BULLDOG RUNNING BACK, STEVE WOODS (33), HEADS FOR AN OPENING
AGAINST MONTANA STA,
'Dogs turn back MSU
By .Edward Aparicio
Photos . by Richard Ri OS .
Sporting a new stadium and a recordsetting attendence last saturday, the
Fresno State Bulldogs capped off a frustrating season with a thriller over Montana State University, 21-14.
Defensive back Anthony Washington,
a proprospect, tackled MSU fullback Jeff
Davis at the three yard line with seven
seconits left to preserve the Bulldog vietory.
Performing before . a near capacity
. crowd of 30,000, FSU's sound defense,
led by Greg "Hubba" Stevens, once
again held the opponent off-balance until
their offense got rolling.
·
Four times the Bulldogs were denied a
score prior to intermission as they were
intercepted twice and usually reliable
place kicker, Dean Slattery missed two
field goals.
Unable to score for most of the first
half, FSU struck first when quarterback
Sergio Toscano connected with senior
wide reciever Steve Mooshagian for a 36yard touchdown toss.
The second haJf showed two totally dif
ferent teams than from the first~ MSU
quickly moved the ball down the field
due to a shift in offensive formation and
the running of quarterback Barry Sullivan. With runs of 32 yards and 17 yards,
Sullivan ran the final 5 to tie the score at
7-7. But that was the last time MSU was
to be in contention until the closing mom~b.
FSU quickly struck back driving 73 yds
in just three play~:
Having trouble at the outset, Toscano
CSUF DIRECTOR .OF ATHLETICS, RUSS SLOAN,
MAKES WELCOMING ADDRESS
began finding his range thanks to the
pass protection he was recieving from a
strong offensive line.
Toscano hit wide reciever Henry
Ellard on what appeared to be a short
slant-in. Demo~st~ating his versatility as
an athlete, Ellard put on an array of
moves to escape from several of MSU 's
pass defenders to complete a 66 yard
run for a touchdown. This made the
score 14-7.
Aided by an adequate passing game,
· Steve Woods provided the crowd with a
series of exciting runs. Slashing and
slanting past the MSU defenders, Wood
ended up with 77 yards on 15 carries.
Ken Lovely, shaking off season-long
injuries, demonstrated last years form
with outbursts of speed and helped set
up the winning margin.
On the winning drive, Lovely and Ted
Torosian gained the bulk of the yardage
thanks to the huge holes their offensive
line were opening up. When the Bulldogs closed in on the goal line, dependable Torosian popped in from the one.
Score FSU 21-7.
The game appeared '". . as a few
spectators were leaving, but the Bobcats
came back quickly as they intercepted
quarterback Gary Kaiser to begin their
final drive.
· Although the offense put the points on
the scoreboard, the Bulldog defense play
ed awesome.
With Hubba Stevens spearheading
their defense, FSU punished the MSU
offensive attack. Allowing but 58 yards
total offense in the first half, the defense
kept MSU in check throughout the game.
Other standouts for the Bulldogs on
defense were Wendel Williams, Tim
Washington, Granvil Redmond, Pat ColI
lins, aod Mike Silva. Stevens, constant y
in the MSU backfield, finished with 9
tackles, including 3 quarterback sacks.
He was recently named athlete of the
week by the sportswriters for the second
time this season.
.
Thus, having finished the season with
a 5-6 record, perhaps FSU and coach Jim
Sweeney can expect bigger and better
things now with the new stadium and all.

·Mini-Corp a success
by Rosalva Villegas
In the late 1960s the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act was amended
to provide supplemental assistance to
schools attended by children of migratory farmworkers . In California the
responsibility for the implementation
and administration of this program
was given to the Bureau of Community
Services and Migrant Education, in
hopes of producing educators that
would be sensitive to migrant student's
needs. Mini Corps was formed .
.The idea for a corps of young people
with one or more years at college, from
a rural migrant background, who could
use their talents in helping with classrooms , extra-curricular activities and
migrant camp projects, that would make
education meaningful to migrant children and their families. Living in the
labor camps, they deal personally with
each child and his family, serving as
role models for migrant children.
Mini-Corps engages in two types
of programs, year round and summer.
The year round program is open only
to juniors and seniors, in college,
majoring in education.
They must
have a C.P.A. of 2.5 and should have
knowledge of migrant family lifestyle.
Students should be able to communicate
in
both English
and
in either
Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog or Pubjabi .
The year round students work in
the various elementary schools in
Fresno, assisting with instruction of
migrant children. Mini-Corp students
are under the supervision of their
college coordinator and are evaluated
twice a year.
The summer program members can
be from any class level, but must
meet the same requirements as the year
round participants. The' summer program entails living in and around
the migrant camps.
The student is
assigned to a master teacher for the
duration of the summer, who helps
the Mini-Corps student develop skills
in the teaching of migrant children .
Campus
Radio
at CSUF
Bret Kofford
Campus radio station KFSR is now
almosnhrough with the difficult process
of completing an FM license application.
Within months, the campus radio station
will be able to broadcast into ttie community cultural and educational events
and programming.
There have been a few setbacks
in the important FM step .. Vandalism
and finding the time necessary to do
the footwork and paperwork required by
the Federal Communication Commission
have been obstacles. Part of the work
required is a community ascertainment
study of civic leaders. Public officialr
and minority leaders have been interviewed in an attempt to find out the
problems of the area and how, as an
educational station, KFSR can serve the
community.
Almost all of the difficult work on
the application is behind for KFSR .
Now, it's simply a matter of getting
FCC approval and seting up the proper
equipment . When the station does go
on the air as a 150 watt FM station which
will cover up to 75 miles radius, the
KFSR staff hopes to serve the Central
Valley with alternative, educational
and cultural programming, something
desperately lacking in Fresno radio
today.

USF Dons defeat Bulldog kickers
Despite having their most successful
season in history, the CSUF soccer team
succumbed to the defending champions,
Univeristy of San Francisco 4-1.
Displaying guttsy desire, the Bulldogs
were simply beaten by experience and
home #field" advantage.
Tony Brown scored the first and
lone goal for CSUF, but that was to be
all.
USF showed their poise in the waning
moments and pushing across four
goals late in the game.
Winding up -the season with 15-4
record, including a string of seven
straight, the Bulldog's dream of an
at-large berth in the NCAA play-offs
were ended Tuesday. The selection
committee chose an East Coast team.
With a successful season under their
belt, the soccer team should prove to
be the team to beat next year.

Conservative members of the Mexican
American community often refuse to
accept the term Chicano because of the
persons who initially identified with the
term.
•
It was the militants who first used the
term . And many Mexicans refused to
associate with militants.
Adding to . the Chicanos' problems
are two main groups within the MexicanAmerican community that despise
being called Chicanos and at times denounce those who identify with the t.erm .
The first group consists of MexicanAmericans who do not associate with
other Mexicans and who disown most
aspects of the Mexican culture.
Members of this group generally
speak English most of the time, which
for them symbolizes prestige. These
persons are called "coconuts" by other
Mexican-Americans: brown on the outside and white inside. Coconut is used
. by Mexican-Americans as "Oreo" is
used by Blacks and "banana" by
Orientals.
Within this group are MexicanAmericans who for many years have said
they are Hispanic-Americans.
This
practice was called "passing" in the
1930s and early 1940s. By calling themselves Hispanic-Americans, they disregarded their Indian ancestry in order
to become more acceptable in the
dominant Anglo society .
The second group that scorns "Chicano" consists of persons of Mex·ican
descent who have never identified with
North _
A merican society and who identify
with the appel!a~ion "Mexican."
Members ot this group almost always
will associate with Mexico~s customs.
First-generation Mexicans who immigrate to the United States think along
the lines of not identifying with either
North American culture or with U.S:
born Mexicans.
This resistance has stifled recognition
of the term Chicano as the national selfidentifying expression. ··
The term Chicano might have first
been used by trouble-making militants
or persons ·with vulgar expressions,
but now counselors, teachers and some
politicians of Mexican descent identify
with the term. Chicanos have been the
ones who have been pushing for jobs and
political positions for those of Mexican
descent living in the U.S.
In any event, the search by various
groups and individuals for a self-identifying name goes on. And the various
appellations with which certain persons
identify probably always ~ill exist be-
cause of the varying cultural and political
backgrounds--more so with a constalt
influx of _persons who simply want to be
called "Mexicans."
"Hispano" or "Latino" are
the safest terms to use, e s ~ ·
a large gathering of perSOl'.15 of
·
descent.
But, it probably would be wi
to
simply ask a person what they prefer
to be called.
