With the publication of -his book,
Afternoon of the Unreal, Omar Salinas
feels it is a work not only for Chicanos,
but for all cultures. He also feels many
people can identify with the poems,
written by him.
Afternoon of the Unreal is considered
by Mr. Salinas as a much more mature
work than hi~ first book, Crazy Gypsy.
"Crazy Gypsy was an unedited
work, but yet contained poetry with
lighter themes. It wasn't as philosophical as this more mature piece of work,"
explained the author.
"Gypsy dealt more in an ' ethnic
sense for the Chicano. Unreal deals
with the Chicano in a Chicano-Anglo
world and the despotic allure . in an
unglamorous environment," remarked
Salinas.
As he explained the theme of his
recent publication, Salinas said, "It deals
with part of reality where I make and
face the unreal. The differences between the practical aspects of life and
the dream state. '
Since the publication of Crazy Gypsy
in 1970, it has taken ten years to write

of organizations and understanding

their importance. Also, we have to
identify the few people who enjoy
government and have them pass along

The League of Mexican-American Women fashion
show captivates sell-out ·crowd and more
by Edward Aparicio
Rapidly establishing itself as the "Big
event," last Saturday the fifth annual
League of Mexican American Women
fashion show proved to be an entertaining and cultural show.
Having a -sold out attendance of over
500, the fashion show gave those in
attendance a sneak preview of the latest
trends. colors. and fabrics in clothes
for the coming year.
·
The brand names seem to be heading
the list and although they are more expensive, people don't mind to pay the
price. As one observer commented, "It's
the way you feel in it that counts, not the
price."
Bright colors are also making a big
splash. The yellows , reds and bright
blues are the most popular. Cottschalks
commentator, Roseanne Cuaglionne,
stated "People want to be alive and noticed, thus brights are it." For both men
and women of course.
Held at the Hilton Inn in downtown
Fresno, the setting of the show provided
an atmosphere of culture. The decorations, ,painted by Jay Sepulveda, set
the mood of a festive event. At intermission, Ernesto Martinez' Danzantes

Teatro de/ Espiritu
United.for a purpose
by Al Robles
Last Tuesday, California State University was host to a group of students from
the Sequoia Freshmen School as Teatro
Del Espiritu performed a colorful play,
entitled "Stopwatch. "
The play takes a look at the conflict between Chicanos in the barrios and centers on an individual named Stopwatch,
who plays the lead role and also the narrator. Stopwatch is just a r~gular vatoloco like anyone else, but with a certain
ability. He has the ability to freeze time
at wi II. He can go forward or backwards
in time or simply bring everything to an
abrupt halt by yelling "stopwatch." He
does this throughout the play in order to
comment and reflect upon the audience
some of the plays underlying attitudes-.
Stopwatch was directed by Willie Lopez,
who also stars in the title role . The supporting cast includes Manuel Espinoza,
David Torresand Lupe Maldonado.
Arrangements were made possible by
Al Robles and Mike Valencia.
Stopwatch points out how people often
base their judgement on appearances
alone as he takes a look at the attitudes
of different people. One homeboy wants
to bring the barrio gangs together to
unite Raza . Another vato has a chance to .
visit Mexico City to study the pryamids,
but would rather attend a car show up in
San Jose. Also, his ruca has received a·
scholarship to attend UCLA, b1i1t doesn't
have enough money to party down with .
As anyone can see, people don't always
have their priorities straight.
Stopwatch also points out the lack of
unity between alot of Chicanos because
we tend to see each other as gente from
different barrios, different sides of the
tracks, or whereever.
Instead of seeing each other as carnales, we ki 11 one another off to protect
our "territory", which, as Stopwatch
points out, is a big joke because we don't
own any of that territory. If the government wants to build a freeway through
your home, they'll do 'it, even though it's
paid for or not. You own nothing.
The play neither attacks nor glorifies
the image of the cholo or homeboy, but
looks instead at the people behind that
image. More importantly, it stresses a
need for unity among all Chicanos,
which is vital to our preseverance as a
raza.

Award winning poet to

by Pete Ramirez
With the publication of -his book,
Afternoon of the Unreal, Omar Salinas
feels it is a work not only for Chicanos,
but for all cultures. He also feels many
people can identify with the poems,
written by him.
Afternoon of the Unreal is considered
by Mr. Salinas as a much more mature
work than hi~ first book, Crazy Gypsy.
"Crazy Gypsy was an unedited
work, but yet contained poetry with
lighter themes. It wasn't as philosophical as this more mature piece of work,"
explained the author.
"Gypsy dealt more in an ' ethnic
sense for the Chicano. Unreal deals
with the Chicano in a Chicano-Anglo
world and the despotic allure . in an
unglamorous environment," remarked
Salinas.
As he explained the theme of his
recent publication, Salinas said, "It deals
with part of reality where I make and
face the unreal. The differences between the practical aspects of life and
the dream state. '
Since the publication of Crazy Gypsy
in 1970, it has taken ten years to write

The League of Mexican-American Women fashion
show captivates sell-out ·crowd and more
by Edward Aparicio
Rapidly establishing itself as the "Big
event," last Saturday the fifth annual
League of Mexican American Women
fashion show proved to be an entertaining and cultural show.
Having a -sold out attendance of over
500, the fashion show gave those in
attendance a sneak preview of the latest
trends. colors. and fabrics in clothes
for the coming year.
·
The brand names seem to be heading
the list and although they are more expensive, people don't mind to pay the
price. As one observer commented, "It's
the way you feel in it that counts, not the
price."
Bright colors are also making a big
splash. The yellows , reds and bright
blues are the most popular. Cottschalks
commentator, Roseanne Cuaglionne,
stated "People want to be alive and noticed, thus brights are it." For both men
and women of course.
Held at the Hilton Inn in downtown
Fresno, the setting of the show provided
an atmosphere of culture. The decorations, ,painted by Jay Sepulveda, set
the mood of a festive event. At intermission, Ernesto Martinez' Danzantes
de Aztlan performed several dances.

Teatro de/ Espiritu
United.for a purpose
by Al Robles
Last Tuesday, California State University was host to a group of students from
the Sequoia Freshmen School as Teatro
Del Espiritu performed a colorful play,
entitled "Stopwatch. "
The play takes a look at the conflict between Chicanos in the barrios and centers on an individual named Stopwatch,
who plays the lead role and also the narrator. Stopwatch is just a r~gular vatoloco like anyone else, but with a certain
ability. He has the ability to freeze time
at wi II. He can go forward or backwards
in time or simply bring everything to an
abrupt halt by yelling "stopwatch." He
does this throughout the play in order to
comment and reflect upon the audience
some of the plays underlying attitudes-.
Stopwatch was directed by Willie Lopez,
who also stars in the title role . The supporting cast includes Manuel Espinoza,
David Torresand Lupe Maldonado.
Arrangements were made possible by
Al Robles and Mike Valencia.
Stopwatch points out how people often
base their judgement on appearances
alone as he takes a look at the attitudes
of different people. One homeboy wants
to bring the barrio gangs together to
unite Raza . Another vato has a chance to .
visit Mexico City to study the pryamids,
but would rather attend a car show up in
San Jose. Also, his ruca has received a·
scholarship to attend UCLA, b1i1t doesn't
have enough money to party down with .
As anyone can see, people don't always
have their priorities straight.
Stopwatch also points out the lack of
unity between alot of Chicanos because
we tend to see each other as gente from
different barrios, different sides of the
tracks, or whereever.
Instead of seeing each other as carnales, we ki 11 one another off to protect
our "territory", which, as Stopwatch
points out, is a big joke because we don't
own any of that territory. If the government wants to build a freeway through
your home, they'll do 'it, even though it's
paid for or not. You own nothing.
The play neither attacks nor glorifies
the image of the cholo or homeboy, but
looks instead at the people behind that
image. More importantly, it stresses a
need for unity among all Chicanos,
which is vital to our preseverance as a
raza.
