FRIDAY
Palestinians Share Their Culture
By Larry Banalea
The General Union of Palestine Students
(GUPS) is sponsoring a Palestinian cultural awareness week through Friday, November 19, which will include panel discussions, speakers, exhibits and movie and
slide presentations. According to GUPS
President, Omar Baddar, these functions
serve "To educate people about Palestine's
plight, as well as its heritage."
"This week will also show Palestinians
here that we're preserving an important
part of our homeland--our culture-despite the hardships our people are
experiencing," Baddar stated. "They also
show our people that we support them.
There has been enough destruction of
our people and land."
All too often Americans are given only
an Israeli view of the conflict, and "there
needs to be an education program to let
people know our perspectives and realize
what's happening," Baddar continued.
"The speakers presenting speeches have
visited the West Bank and Beruit and
provide first-hand information about
events going on there."
Among activities scheduled for today
are a food sale from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. in the Free Speech area and a movie
entitled "We Are The Palestinians" to be
shown at 7:00 p.m. in the College Union.
"Peace can be a beautiful word," Baddar
said, "but it . can also be misused. A
country may declare peace but still oppress
a people and their land, and there is no
peace."

On Friday, November 19, "Palestinian
Night" will be held at the Trinity Lutheren

There will be "no physical progress in
our struggle as long as the United States
supports Israel. There will just be more
killings and destruction," Baddar continued. "The Israelis use sophisticated American weapons, and if we continue to
experience this problem, there will not be
any peaceful progress."
La Voz: 1969-1982
By Bobby Rodriquez
La Voz, or La Pluma Morena (The
Brown Pen) as it was first called, was
spawned from the turbulent times of the
late 60s and early 70s, when racial tensions were high and protest demonstrations were a common occurence.
The first issue was done on May 5,
1969, its content was largely political. Stories ranged from, the opposition to the
draft; the on-going war in Vietnam; the
"Liberation of Chicanos"; to Cesaer
Chavez' farm labor struggle.
The newspaper's political stance was
no secret; its stories and art work
depicted that. The name changed form La
Pluma Morena to Chicano Liberation,
with the name encircled in bandoliers.
Stories calling for an end to oppresion and
the need for justice were standard copy.
The atmosphere in the early 70s was one
of urgency for Chicanos, and La Voz captured it. Every square inch of every page
was used, with either a story, artwork, or
a poem relating the need for Chicanos to
educate, motivate and participate.
The use of La Voz as a medium for the
Chicano viewpoint was an important
objective, but also just as important was
the desperately needed experience that
Chicano journalists received.
With that experience, La Voz became
the starting point for such local media
people as Tom Uribes, editor of Sentimientos and El Tiempo; Al Reyes, former
Channel 30 reporter and now with El
Tiempo; Marty Uribes, reporter with
Channel 47; and Larry Romero, formerly
with the Fresno Bee and currently with
the San Jose Mercury News.
La Voz spoke with Larry Romero, who
was editor during the years 74-75, about
his experiences and feelings with La Voz.
"It was an alternative newspaper, it
gave a voice that was needed and is still
needed today," Romero said. Larry also
agreed that La Voz was a good training
ground for a reporter.

"What is also ironic," Baddar said, "is
that U.S. taxpayers are paying for the destruction of Lebanon and will eventually
pay for its construction. It's a tragedy that
most Americans don't realize this."
That is why more people should 1isten
to as much information" about this conflict
to understand the circumstances ,so they
may do as much as they can to hinder the
U.S. from contributing to the destruction.

Commentary: ERA Still Alive
By Edtel Paz I
With the first ERA campaign behind them
the National Organization for Women
(NOW), the most active feminist group,
held a National Conference in Indianapolis on October8-10th, 1982. NOW'sPresident-elect, Judy Goldsmith, a former English professor from the University of Wisconsin, will move into her new Washington, D.C. office on December 1, 1982.
In addition to electing national officers,
NOW concentrated on improving the status of women in areas of equal pay, education, Social Security and any other
areas where women's rights are denied.
Congress and state legislators have
passed equal employment laws over the
past twenty years, but these statue's approach
is insufficient. Equal employment laws
can be replaced at any time. Women are
in the work place to stay, and the drive for
constitutional amendment must continue
until it is achieved.
Minority women are victims of a double
problem: racism and sexism. Women on
the average are paid 59¢ for every dollar a
man is paid for the same work, and for
Hispanic women it is 49¢. Though many
Asian women are educated, they are still
concentrated in lower paying jobs.
In 1972, Congress passed Title 1 of the
Education Amendment, which prohibits
discrimination in any educational program
or activity receiving federal financial assistance. However, a major fault in today's
education system is that schools direct
females into low-paying, dead-end jobs,
primarily clerks, sales people, hairdressers
· and waitresses. The enforcement of Title
1 depends upon tracing distribution of
federal dollars to particular school programs. Furthermore, equal education laws
are only statutes passed by Congress
which can be reversed at any time.
Also under current laws, women, especially older women, are victims of our
Social Security system. It is a sex biased
system that causes millions of women to
live in poverty in their old age. Widowed
or divorced women are most seriously
affected. Of the 13 million women 65 or
over in 1979, 72% had to live on less than
$5,000 per year. For 60% of older women,
Social Security is their only source of
income. Full-time married homemakers
have never been covered by Social Security. It is structured so that married homemakers receive benefits through
their covered husbands, if they have been
married to the same man for ten years. If a
homemaker dies or becomes disabled,
she and her family are not entitled to disability or surviver benefits. If a homemaker is widowed, she will receive no
benefits until age 60, unless she has a child
under age 18 or she is disabled. She can
receive full benefits only if she waits until
age 65 to retire.
If a homemaker reaches retirement
with her husband, her benefits will be
equal to only half of his. If he retires early
and receives reduced benefits, the homemaker's benefits will also be reduced. If, at
anytime after retirement, the husband decides
to return to work, the wife's benefits will
be stopped.
The result is that women are short
changed by the system, because it has
failed to meet their needs and guarantee
them economic justice. A constitutional
amendment for equal rights for women
will make it possible for the sex biased
system to be updated.
Times are changing, but the laws have
not kept up. Equality under the law must
become a basic law for all Americans.
Women can not be made to fight for their
rights every four years with the changing
political tides.
Barbara Ehrereich and Karen Stallard
wrote in "'Ms# magazine that by the year
2000 all of the nation's poor will be women
and their children. They referred to tlu!m
as the nouveau poor." Most people know
that the entitlements of the poor, what the
Reagan Administration calls their #runaway entitlements,# are slated to take the
brunt of the federal budget cuts, but what
they do not know is that the poor are
mostly women. Two out of three adults
who fall under federal definition of poverty are women. Moreover, more than
half of the families defined as poor are
maintained by single women. The number
of female headed families with children
increased by 81% during the seventies.
The New Right has an innovative plan
for women in which they would like to
legalize #homework", so that woemn can
work in their own homes. This was a widespread practice in the 19th century. Another Right Wing solution for feminine poverty is marriage.
Onalee McGraw, who handles education and family issues at the Heritage
Foundation-the New Right think tank funded
by beer magnate Joseph Coors, rejects
increasing women's earnings on the basis
that their priority is to make men productive workers and reliable husbands. She says, H Anything that will make
women more independent is a threat to
men." She also believes that welfare should
be abolished, because it like any other
form of female income weakens male responsibility.
The New Right is not the only hardcore conservative element that opposes
women. A book entitled ~ e Complete
Chauvinist, A Survival Guide for the
H
Bedeviled Male# by Dr. Edgar Berman,
was published recently by McMillin pub- .
lishing company. Dr. Berman made the
statement a few years ago that -raging
hormonal imbalance" disqualified women
from holding political power. Feminists
took his statemnt before the Democratic
party's committee on National Priorities
and #because of that, I always had to keep
defending myself," he said.
He contends that a deficiency of the
hormonal testosterone, which fuels male
aggressiveness, ensures that women will
not become high achievers. "She is the
one as prone to splitting headaches as we
are to splitting atoms," stated Dr. Berman. He also added that "the biggest
fraud since the Loch Ness monster is that
the women's liberation movement is over."
Society will not progress by returning
to practices of the 19th century. Where
the New Right emphasizes "pro familydominated by men, feminists emphasize
#pro family# on the basis of equal sharing,
a partnership in which men will have a
caring-belonging role with the domination-power image.
ERA is not a panacea for all of todays
ills, but in some areas it would give women
legal status and protection they do not
have, but that they often assume they do.

Financial Aid Woes
By Larry Baaale•
Many students on campus are experiencing problems in receiving their financial aid, and as a result, some have
dropped o 1r and others have not bought
their books for the semester. Similiar
incidences comprise the center of a massive problem for C?UF minority students.
#A lot of students have either dropped
out or are thinking about it, because of
financial aid difficulties,H stated George
Santiago, Associated Students Vice-President. HThey can receive extensibns on
paying their fees; however, not all students
are notified of this procedure, he continued.
H
At a meeting held on October 27 with
Dean Corcoran and President Haak
Alliance members Maggie Castro, Ralph
Gonzales, and Andrea Hedgely discussed
their complaints. Numerous students pre·
s~nted testimonials about their problems
with the Financial Aid office. They demanded that book loans be granted to students who hadn't purchased books, that a
reasonable distribution system be implemented and that financial aid documents
arrive in time for students to complete
them by C.A.R. registration deadline.
Administrators stressed how much
impact the federal and state levels have
on university policies, stating that they
were not notified of budget allocations
until October which caused many delays.
They also encouraged the Alliance to take
its complaints to Financial Aid director
Joseph Hueston, who later said they
should talk with administrators.
Alliance members urge students to
begin a letter-writing campaign to Congressmen, Financial Aid director Hueston, Dean Corcoran, President Haak and
Chancellor Reynolds. "Lots of students
are dissatisfied with administrative policies," Santiago said, "and hopefully these
policies will change."
Last year two-thirds of students who
received financial assistance to attend
college at CSUF had been awarded their
letters by September 1st. The first week
in the Fall semester, ten out of nearly 300
new Educational Opportunity Program
students received their letters. !here
seems to be a lack of concern by the
Financial Aid office for students,"
Santiago explained.
Students are then forced to take out
emergency loans until all paper work is
;omplete. "For example,H Santiago noted,
one student who hadn't received her
award took out a $100.00 loan to cover
essentials. She waited for a few more
weeks and still hasn't received her award
and now she can't take out another loa~
because· she hasn't repaid her first."
On Friday, November 5th, the Alliance
sponsored a solidarity march, protesting
the delayed awards, distribution policies
and allocation amounts. Students hoped
to prevent future generations from experiencing financial problems and to attract
attention to the magnitude of the
problem.

MECHA Attends Conference
~ Sylvia Ca•tro
In this large state of ours, Fresno is ·
hardly ever recognized as being sign!fi·
cant for anything except maybe for its
wealthy farming community. But at the
1982 Fall MEChA Statewide Conference
held at Bakersfield College, Fresno carried a lot of clout, even among some of the
larger cities like Los Angeles and San
Diego, where supposedly all the action
takes place.
At the w.af■ arKe this i,ltlli Qlla
MEChA initiated three resolutio~ of the
eight proposed. All three pased with minor
or no changes. Anyone who has attended
a conference before knows that this is not
always an easy task to accomplish. Many
times long debates continue, and usually
a resolution will be defeated if the parties
can not come to terms with the issue.
The three resolutions were "Latin Ame•
rican Issues", supporting the people in
Central and South American struggles,
the "Coors Boycott", reinforcing the boycott on Coors beer made several years
ago, and "Student Support Services",
focusing on student financial aid cuts and
other student aid issues pertaining to
Chicanos and other minorities on
campus.
This fall's turnout of approximately 150
students at the Bakersfield community
campus was smaller than previous years.
Some campuses sent one or two repre•
sentatives, usually someone from their
, respective boards. Fresno's chapter had
thirteen members along with nine members
from CSUF's Teatro de\ Espiritu. UC,
CSUC, city and local high school campuses from all over California were invited
to attend.
Some of the concerns the conference
addressed were the probable fall of the
Chicano Studies Department at Cal-State
Los Angeles, the Simpson-Mazzoli bill-which would require every "legal"' person
in the United States to carry a national
identification card at all times or face certain penalties --to be presented and voted
on in November, Chicano support for the
anti-nuclear movement in California and
declaring May 3 as a memorial day for
those youths killed in barrio warfare.
The statewide structure meeting resulted in assigning certain areas of concern
to various campuses to do research and
keep lines of communication open between
campuses and hopefully Jliave some definite plan of action to be presented at the
Spring Conference. CSUF's MEChA will
be following-up on student aid services.
The Spring planning meeting is set for
February in the Los Angeles area, and the
Spring conference is tentatively set for

by local police forces in 1970 during the
largest anti-war demonstration in Los
Angeles.
A standing ovation was given to United
Farm Workers Vice-chairperson, Dolores
Huerta, who emphasized organization
and unity among all Chicanos and urged
Mechistas to "keep on working" to keep
faith despite the struggles.
"If we don't learn to use our numbers,
we are nothing!," she stressed. Huerta
also pointed out the huge growth of Chicanos in California. "It is because we're
not well organized that we're politically
weak."
She praised MEChA for being one of
few organizations of the sixties to have

that she belonged on the TV program
"That's Incredible." Her posture and assertive manner of speaking displayed the
confidance in herself and in the message
she gave to her audience. After having
read a poem from a book written by Gus
Frias, she raised her fist and chanted,
"Que viva las ninas y los ninos!" Everyone
stood up and applauded her and then reapplauded her with the official"Movimiento"

One enthusiastic male member from
Bakersfield said, "I want to have twelve

Her speech was followed by CSUF's

La Raza Courses
By Loardu Villarreal
Chicano college students are going
through an '1" phase •-a "me first"' attitude
says Ernesto Martinez, Coordinator of
the La Raza Studies Program.
Concerned with the decrease in Chicano enrollment in La Raza courses, Martinez, states that in the last seven years
the level of social awareness among Chicano students has declined.
"We have to undo what the schools
have done," says Martinez. "The schools
have brainwashed students into believing
that there's no more prejudice --that
there are no more problems."
According to Martinez, because Chicanos are facing a wave of conservatism,
there's only a nucleus of students who are
politically involved. "There's lack of participation among students,"' says Mar
tinez.
"We see very few 'Chicanos'; Now the
term is 'Hispanic,'" adds Martinez.
Martinez doesn't like the term, 'Hispanic,' because, '"It was pushed on us
(Chicanos) by the federal government
and by the federal Chicano bureaucrates ...,.He adds, "People are taking the bait
(using the term, Hispanic) because it supposedly encompasses everyone. 'Hispanic'
has became a 'nicer word' than the term
Mexicano or Chicano."
·
/ Martinez also objects to the term, 'His~ i c , ' because, according to him, it is a
misnomer. "The term, 'Hispanic,· does
not relfect the Chicano/Mexicano population of the San Joaquin Central Valley,"
. states ~rµnez~. : . . .
•'
.~·. . .
-"
,. .
Martinez recommends that not only
Chicano students, but rather all students
in general take la Raza courses or any
ethnic class to become aware of the
diversities in the cultures.
The La Raza Studies Program was
established during the late 60's and early
7o's movement. The objectives of the
program are: 1) to promote an awareness
of the historical and cultural factors that
characterize the Chicano, 2) to cultivate
an understanding and appreciation of
ethnic differences among all people, and
3) to critically analyze the Chicano experience in terms of significant issues, concepts, theories, and current problems.
Some of the "experimental" courses,
according to Martinez, that will be offered
in the Spring '83 semester are: "Chicanos
in Politics," taught by Angie Cisneros;
"The Political Economy of the Southwest," taught by Dr. Daniel Moreno; "Chicanos in the Media," taught by Hugo
Morales, and "Career Planning,"' taught
by Alicia Andrade. Martinez recommends "'Career Planning" to students
who are still undeclared in their maj<?r·.
Martinez addes that students should be
aware that some of the La Raza courses
fulfill the General Education requirements.
Martinez hopes that offering a wider
selection of courses will attract more student enrollment in La Raza courses. ,

FRIDAY
Palestinians Share Their Culture
By Larry Banalea
The General Union of Palestine Students
(GUPS) is sponsoring a Palestinian cultural awareness week through Friday, November 19, which will include panel discussions, speakers, exhibits and movie and
slide presentations. According to GUPS
President, Omar Baddar, these functions
serve "To educate people about Palestine's
plight, as well as its heritage."
"This week will also show Palestinians
here that we're preserving an important
part of our homeland--our culture-despite the hardships our people are
experiencing," Baddar stated. "They also
show our people that we support them.
There has been enough destruction of
our people and land."
All too often Americans are given only
an Israeli view of the conflict, and "there
needs to be an education program to let
people know our perspectives and realize
what's happening," Baddar continued.
"The speakers presenting speeches have
visited the West Bank and Beruit and
provide first-hand information about
events going on there."
Among activities scheduled for today
are a food sale from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. in the Free Speech area and a movie
entitled "We Are The Palestinians" to be
shown at 7:00 p.m. in the College Union.
"Peace can be a beautiful word," Baddar
said, "but it . can also be misused. A
country may declare peace but still oppress
a people and their land, and there is no
peace."

There will be "no physical progress in
our struggle as long as the United States
supports Israel. There will just be more
killings and destruction," Baddar continued. "The Israelis use sophisticated American weapons, and if we continue to
experience this problem, there will not be
any peaceful progress."
La Voz: 1969-1982
By Bobby Rodriquez
La Voz, or La Pluma Morena (The
Brown Pen) as it was first called, was
spawned from the turbulent times of the
late 60s and early 70s, when racial tensions were high and protest demonstrations were a common occurence.
The first issue was done on May 5,
1969, its content was largely political. Stories ranged from, the opposition to the
draft; the on-going war in Vietnam; the
"Liberation of Chicanos"; to Cesaer
Chavez' farm labor struggle.
The newspaper's political stance was
no secret; its stories and art work
depicted that. The name changed form La
Pluma Morena to Chicano Liberation,
with the name encircled in bandoliers.
Stories calling for an end to oppresion and
the need for justice were standard copy.
The atmosphere in the early 70s was one
of urgency for Chicanos, and La Voz captured it. Every square inch of every page
was used, with either a story, artwork, or
a poem relating the need for Chicanos to
educate, motivate and participate.
The use of La Voz as a medium for the
Chicano viewpoint was an important
objective, but also just as important was
the desperately needed experience that
Chicano journalists received.
With that experience, La Voz became
the starting point for such local media
people as Tom Uribes, editor of Sentimientos and El Tiempo; Al Reyes, former
Channel 30 reporter and now with El
Tiempo; Marty Uribes, reporter with
Channel 47; and Larry Romero, formerly
with the Fresno Bee and currently with
the San Jose Mercury News.
La Voz spoke with Larry Romero, who
was editor during the years 74-75, about
his experiences and feelings with La Voz.
"It was an alternative newspaper, it
gave a voice that was needed and is still
needed today," Romero said. Larry also
agreed that La Voz was a good training
ground for a reporter.

"What is also ironic," Baddar said, "is
that U.S. taxpayers are paying for the destruction of Lebanon and will eventually
pay for its construction. It's a tragedy that
most Americans don't realize this."
That is why more people should 1isten
to as much information" about this conflict
to understand the circumstances ,so they
may do as much as they can to hinder the
U.S. from contributing to the destruction.

Commentary: ERA Still Alive
By Edtel Paz I
With the first ERA campaign behind them
the National Organization for Women
(NOW), the most active feminist group,
held a National Conference in Indianapolis on October8-10th, 1982. NOW'sPresident-elect, Judy Goldsmith, a former English professor from the University of Wisconsin, will move into her new Washington, D.C. office on December 1, 1982.
In addition to electing national officers,
NOW concentrated on improving the status of women in areas of equal pay, education, Social Security and any other
areas where women's rights are denied.
Congress and state legislators have
passed equal employment laws over the
past twenty years, but these statue's approach
is insufficient. Equal employment laws
can be replaced at any time. Women are
in the work place to stay, and the drive for
constitutional amendment must continue
until it is achieved.
Minority women are victims of a double
problem: racism and sexism. Women on
the average are paid 59¢ for every dollar a
man is paid for the same work, and for
Hispanic women it is 49¢. Though many
Asian women are educated, they are still
concentrated in lower paying jobs.
In 1972, Congress passed Title 1 of the
Education Amendment, which prohibits
discrimination in any educational program
or activity receiving federal financial assistance. However, a major fault in today's
education system is that schools direct
females into low-paying, dead-end jobs,
primarily clerks, sales people, hairdressers
· and waitresses. The enforcement of Title
1 depends upon tracing distribution of
federal dollars to particular school programs. Furthermore, equal education laws
are only statutes passed by Congress
which can be reversed at any time.
Also under current laws, women, especially older women, are victims of our
Social Security system. It is a sex biased
system that causes millions of women to
live in poverty in their old age. Widowed
or divorced women are most seriously
affected. Of the 13 million women 65 or
over in 1979, 72% had to live on less than
$5,000 per year. For 60% of older women,
Social Security is their only source of
income. Full-time married homemakers
have never been covered by Social Security. It is structured so that married homemakers receive benefits through
their covered husbands, if they have been
married to the same man for ten years. If a
homemaker dies or becomes disabled,
she and her family are not entitled to disability or surviver benefits. If a homemaker is widowed, she will receive no
benefits until age 60, unless she has a child
under age 18 or she is disabled. She can
receive full benefits only if she waits until
age 65 to retire.
If a homemaker reaches retirement
with her husband, her benefits will be
equal to only half of his. If he retires early
and receives reduced benefits, the homemaker's benefits will also be reduced. If, at
anytime after retirement, the husband decides
to return to work, the wife's benefits will
be stopped.
The result is that women are short
changed by the system, because it has
failed to meet their needs and guarantee
them economic justice. A constitutional
amendment for equal rights for women
will make it possible for the sex biased
system to be updated.
Times are changing, but the laws have
not kept up. Equality under the law must
become a basic law for all Americans.
Women can not be made to fight for their
rights every four years with the changing
political tides.
Barbara Ehrereich and Karen Stallard
wrote in "'Ms# magazine that by the year
2000 all of the nation's poor will be women
and their children. They referred to tlu!m
as the nouveau poor." Most people know
that the entitlements of the poor, what the
Reagan Administration calls their #runaway entitlements,# are slated to take the
brunt of the federal budget cuts, but what
they do not know is that the poor are
mostly women. Two out of three adults
who fall under federal definition of poverty are women. Moreover, more than
half of the families defined as poor are
maintained by single women. The number
of female headed families with children
increased by 81% during the seventies.
The New Right has an innovative plan
for women in which they would like to
legalize #homework", so that woemn can
work in their own homes. This was a widespread practice in the 19th century. Another Right Wing solution for feminine poverty is marriage.
Onalee McGraw, who handles education and family issues at the Heritage
Foundation-the New Right think tank funded
by beer magnate Joseph Coors, rejects
increasing women's earnings on the basis
that their priority is to make men productive workers and reliable husbands. She says, H Anything that will make
women more independent is a threat to
men." She also believes that welfare should
be abolished, because it like any other
form of female income weakens male responsibility.
The New Right is not the only hardcore conservative element that opposes
women. A book entitled ~ e Complete
Chauvinist, A Survival Guide for the
H
Bedeviled Male# by Dr. Edgar Berman,
was published recently by McMillin pub- .
lishing company. Dr. Berman made the
statement a few years ago that -raging
hormonal imbalance" disqualified women
from holding political power. Feminists
took his statemnt before the Democratic
party's committee on National Priorities
and #because of that, I always had to keep
defending myself," he said.
He contends that a deficiency of the
hormonal testosterone, which fuels male
aggressiveness, ensures that women will
not become high achievers. "She is the
one as prone to splitting headaches as we
are to splitting atoms," stated Dr. Berman. He also added that "the biggest
fraud since the Loch Ness monster is that
the women's liberation movement is over."
Society will not progress by returning
to practices of the 19th century. Where
the New Right emphasizes "pro familydominated by men, feminists emphasize
#pro family# on the basis of equal sharing,
a partnership in which men will have a
caring-belonging role with the domination-power image.
ERA is not a panacea for all of todays
ills, but in some areas it would give women
legal status and protection they do not
have, but that they often assume they do.

Financial Aid Woes
By Larry Baaale•
Many students on campus are experiencing problems in receiving their financial aid, and as a result, some have
dropped o 1r and others have not bought
their books for the semester. Similiar
incidences comprise the center of a massive problem for C?UF minority students.
#A lot of students have either dropped
out or are thinking about it, because of
financial aid difficulties,H stated George
Santiago, Associated Students Vice-President. HThey can receive extensibns on
paying their fees; however, not all students
are notified of this procedure, he continued.
H
At a meeting held on October 27 with
Dean Corcoran and President Haak
Alliance members Maggie Castro, Ralph
Gonzales, and Andrea Hedgely discussed
their complaints. Numerous students pre·
s~nted testimonials about their problems
with the Financial Aid office. They demanded that book loans be granted to students who hadn't purchased books, that a
reasonable distribution system be implemented and that financial aid documents
arrive in time for students to complete
them by C.A.R. registration deadline.
Administrators stressed how much
impact the federal and state levels have
on university policies, stating that they
were not notified of budget allocations
until October which caused many delays.
They also encouraged the Alliance to take
its complaints to Financial Aid director
Joseph Hueston, who later said they
should talk with administrators.
Alliance members urge students to
begin a letter-writing campaign to Congressmen, Financial Aid director Hueston, Dean Corcoran, President Haak and
Chancellor Reynolds. "Lots of students
are dissatisfied with administrative policies," Santiago said, "and hopefully these
policies will change."
Last year two-thirds of students who
received financial assistance to attend
college at CSUF had been awarded their
letters by September 1st. The first week
in the Fall semester, ten out of nearly 300
new Educational Opportunity Program
students received their letters. !here
seems to be a lack of concern by the
Financial Aid office for students,"
Santiago explained.
Students are then forced to take out
emergency loans until all paper work is
;omplete. "For example,H Santiago noted,
one student who hadn't received her
award took out a $100.00 loan to cover
essentials. She waited for a few more
weeks and still hasn't received her award
and now she can't take out another loa~
because· she hasn't repaid her first."
On Friday, November 5th, the Alliance
sponsored a solidarity march, protesting
the delayed awards, distribution policies
and allocation amounts. Students hoped
to prevent future generations from experiencing financial problems and to attract
attention to the magnitude of the
problem.

MECHA Attends Conference
~ Sylvia Ca•tro
In this large state of ours, Fresno is ·
hardly ever recognized as being sign!fi·
cant for anything except maybe for its
wealthy farming community. But at the
1982 Fall MEChA Statewide Conference
held at Bakersfield College, Fresno carried a lot of clout, even among some of the
larger cities like Los Angeles and San
Diego, where supposedly all the action
takes place.
At the w.af■ arKe this i,ltlli Qlla
MEChA initiated three resolutio~ of the
eight proposed. All three pased with minor
or no changes. Anyone who has attended
a conference before knows that this is not
always an easy task to accomplish. Many
times long debates continue, and usually
a resolution will be defeated if the parties
can not come to terms with the issue.
The three resolutions were "Latin Ame•
rican Issues", supporting the people in
Central and South American struggles,
the "Coors Boycott", reinforcing the boycott on Coors beer made several years
ago, and "Student Support Services",
focusing on student financial aid cuts and
other student aid issues pertaining to
Chicanos and other minorities on
campus.
This fall's turnout of approximately 150
students at the Bakersfield community
campus was smaller than previous years.
Some campuses sent one or two repre•
sentatives, usually someone from their
, respective boards. Fresno's chapter had
thirteen members along with nine members
from CSUF's Teatro de\ Espiritu. UC,
CSUC, city and local high school campuses from all over California were invited
to attend.
Some of the concerns the conference
addressed were the probable fall of the
Chicano Studies Department at Cal-State
Los Angeles, the Simpson-Mazzoli bill-which would require every "legal"' person
in the United States to carry a national
identification card at all times or face certain penalties --to be presented and voted
on in November, Chicano support for the
anti-nuclear movement in California and
declaring May 3 as a memorial day for
those youths killed in barrio warfare.
The statewide structure meeting resulted in assigning certain areas of concern
to various campuses to do research and
keep lines of communication open between
campuses and hopefully Jliave some definite plan of action to be presented at the
Spring Conference. CSUF's MEChA will
be following-up on student aid services.
The Spring planning meeting is set for
February in the Los Angeles area, and the
Spring conference is tentatively set for

August 29 is currently memorialized for
Ruben Salazar, a Los Angeles Times
reporter, who along with others was killed
by local police forces in 1970 during the
largest anti-war demonstration in Los
Angeles.
A standing ovation was given to United
Farm Workers Vice-chairperson, Dolores
Huerta, who emphasized organization
and unity among all Chicanos and urged
Mechistas to "keep on working" to keep
faith despite the struggles.
"If we don't learn to use our numbers,
we are nothing!," she stressed. Huerta
also pointed out the huge growth of Chicanos in California. "It is because we're
not well organized that we're politically
weak."
She praised MEChA for being one of
few organizations of the sixties to have
survived and continued working, despite
many attempts by outside organizations
to "comprarlos." She warned that some

reaction by most of those present was
that she belonged on the TV program
"That's Incredible." Her posture and assertive manner of speaking displayed the
confidance in herself and in the message
she gave to her audience. After having
read a poem from a book written by Gus
Frias, she raised her fist and chanted,
"Que viva las ninas y los ninos!" Everyone
stood up and applauded her and then reapplauded her with the official"Movimiento"
applause.
One enthusiastic male member from
Bakersfield said, "I want to have twelve
children like her. Does anyone want to
help me?"
Her speech was followed by CSUF's

Lopez, which presented their theme "acto"

don't get done because of distractions,

La Raza Courses
By Loardu Villarreal
Chicano college students are going
through an '1" phase •-a "me first"' attitude
says Ernesto Martinez, Coordinator of
the La Raza Studies Program.
Concerned with the decrease in Chicano enrollment in La Raza courses, Martinez, states that in the last seven years
the level of social awareness among Chicano students has declined.
"We have to undo what the schools
have done," says Martinez. "The schools
have brainwashed students into believing
that there's no more prejudice --that
there are no more problems."
According to Martinez, because Chicanos are facing a wave of conservatism,
there's only a nucleus of students who are
politically involved. "There's lack of participation among students,"' says Mar
tinez.
"We see very few 'Chicanos'; Now the
term is 'Hispanic,'" adds Martinez.
Martinez doesn't like the term, 'Hispanic,' because, '"It was pushed on us
(Chicanos) by the federal government
and by the federal Chicano bureaucrates ...,.He adds, "People are taking the bait
(using the term, Hispanic) because it supposedly encompasses everyone. 'Hispanic'
has became a 'nicer word' than the term
Mexicano or Chicano."
·
/ Martinez also objects to the term, 'His~ i c , ' because, according to him, it is a
misnomer. "The term, 'Hispanic,· does
not relfect the Chicano/Mexicano population of the San Joaquin Central Valley,"
. states ~rµnez~. : . . .
•'
.~·. . .
-"
,. .
Martinez recommends that not only
Chicano students, but rather all students
in general take la Raza courses or any
ethnic class to become aware of the
diversities in the cultures.
The La Raza Studies Program was
established during the late 60's and early
7o's movement. The objectives of the
program are: 1) to promote an awareness
of the historical and cultural factors that
characterize the Chicano, 2) to cultivate
an understanding and appreciation of
ethnic differences among all people, and
3) to critically analyze the Chicano experience in terms of significant issues, concepts, theories, and current problems.
Some of the "experimental" courses,
according to Martinez, that will be offered
in the Spring '83 semester are: "Chicanos
in Politics," taught by Angie Cisneros;
"The Political Economy of the Southwest," taught by Dr. Daniel Moreno; "Chicanos in the Media," taught by Hugo
Morales, and "Career Planning,"' taught
by Alicia Andrade. Martinez recommends "'Career Planning" to students
who are still undeclared in their maj<?r·.
Martinez addes that students should be
aware that some of the La Raza courses
fulfill the General Education requirements.
Martinez hopes that offering a wider
selection of courses will attract more student enrollment in La Raza courses. ,

FRIDAY
Palestinians Share Their Culture
By Larry Banalea
The General Union of Palestine Students
(GUPS) is sponsoring a Palestinian cultural awareness week through Friday, November 19, which will include panel discussions, speakers, exhibits and movie and
slide presentations. According to GUPS
President, Omar Baddar, these functions
serve "To educate people about Palestine's
plight, as well as its heritage."
"This week will also show Palestinians
here that we're preserving an important
part of our homeland--our culture-despite the hardships our people are
experiencing," Baddar stated. "They also
show our people that we support them.
There has been enough destruction of
our people and land."
All too often Americans are given only
an Israeli view of the conflict, and "there
needs to be an education program to let
people know our perspectives and realize
what's happening," Baddar continued.
"The speakers presenting speeches have
visited the West Bank and Beruit and
provide first-hand information about
events going on there."
Among activities scheduled for today
are a food sale from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. in the Free Speech area and a movie
entitled "We Are The Palestinians" to be
shown at 7:00 p.m. in the College Union.
"Peace can be a beautiful word," Baddar
said, "but it . can also be misused. A
country may declare peace but still oppress
a people and their land, and there is no
peace."

There will be "no physical progress in
our struggle as long as the United States
supports Israel. There will just be more
killings and destruction," Baddar continued. "The Israelis use sophisticated American weapons, and if we continue to
experience this problem, there will not be
any peaceful progress."
La Voz: 1969-1982
By Bobby Rodriquez
La Voz, or La Pluma Morena (The
Brown Pen) as it was first called, was
spawned from the turbulent times of the
late 60s and early 70s, when racial tensions were high and protest demonstrations were a common occurence.
The first issue was done on May 5,
1969, its content was largely political. Stories ranged from, the opposition to the
draft; the on-going war in Vietnam; the
"Liberation of Chicanos"; to Cesaer
Chavez' farm labor struggle.
The newspaper's political stance was
no secret; its stories and art work
depicted that. The name changed form La
Pluma Morena to Chicano Liberation,
with the name encircled in bandoliers.
Stories calling for an end to oppresion and
the need for justice were standard copy.
The atmosphere in the early 70s was one
of urgency for Chicanos, and La Voz captured it. Every square inch of every page
was used, with either a story, artwork, or
a poem relating the need for Chicanos to
educate, motivate and participate.
The use of La Voz as a medium for the
Chicano viewpoint was an important
objective, but also just as important was
the desperately needed experience that
Chicano journalists received.
With that experience, La Voz became
the starting point for such local media
people as Tom Uribes, editor of Sentimientos and El Tiempo; Al Reyes, former
Channel 30 reporter and now with El
Tiempo; Marty Uribes, reporter with
Channel 47; and Larry Romero, formerly
with the Fresno Bee and currently with
the San Jose Mercury News.
La Voz spoke with Larry Romero, who
was editor during the years 74-75, about
his experiences and feelings with La Voz.
"It was an alternative newspaper, it
gave a voice that was needed and is still
needed today," Romero said. Larry also
agreed that La Voz was a good training
ground for a reporter.

Pagel
"What is also ironic," Baddar said, "is
that U.S. taxpayers are paying for the destruction of Lebanon and will eventually
pay for its construction. It's a tragedy that
most Americans don't realize this."
That is why more people should 1isten
to as much information" about this conflict
to understand the circumstances ,so they
may do as much as they can to hinder the
U.S. from contributing to the destruction.

Commentary: ERA Still Alive
By Edtel Paz I
With the first ERA campaign behind them
the National Organization for Women
(NOW), the most active feminist group,
held a National Conference in Indianapolis on October8-10th, 1982. NOW'sPresident-elect, Judy Goldsmith, a former English professor from the University of Wisconsin, will move into her new Washington, D.C. office on December 1, 1982.
In addition to electing national officers,
NOW concentrated on improving the status of women in areas of equal pay, education, Social Security and any other
areas where women's rights are denied.
Congress and state legislators have
passed equal employment laws over the
past twenty years, but these statue's approach
is insufficient. Equal employment laws
can be replaced at any time. Women are
in the work place to stay, and the drive for
constitutional amendment must continue
until it is achieved.
Minority women are victims of a double
problem: racism and sexism. Women on
the average are paid 59¢ for every dollar a
man is paid for the same work, and for
Hispanic women it is 49¢. Though many
Asian women are educated, they are still
concentrated in lower paying jobs.
In 1972, Congress passed Title 1 of the
Education Amendment, which prohibits
discrimination in any educational program
or activity receiving federal financial assistance. However, a major fault in today's
education system is that schools direct
females into low-paying, dead-end jobs,
primarily clerks, sales people, hairdressers
· and waitresses. The enforcement of Title
1 depends upon tracing distribution of
federal dollars to particular school programs. Furthermore, equal education laws
are only statutes passed by Congress
which can be reversed at any time.
Also under current laws, women, especially older women, are victims of our
Social Security system. It is a sex biased
system that causes millions of women to
live in poverty in their old age. Widowed
or divorced women are most seriously
affected. Of the 13 million women 65 or
over in 1979, 72% had to live on less than
$5,000 per year. For 60% of older women,
Social Security is their only source of
income. Full-time married homemakers
have never been covered by Social Security. It is structured so that married homemakers receive benefits through
their covered husbands, if they have been
married to the same man for ten years. If a
homemaker dies or becomes disabled,
she and her family are not entitled to disability or surviver benefits. If a homemaker is widowed, she will receive no
benefits until age 60, unless she has a child
under age 18 or she is disabled. She can
receive full benefits only if she waits until
age 65 to retire.
If a homemaker reaches retirement
with her husband, her benefits will be
equal to only half of his. If he retires early
and receives reduced benefits, the homemaker's benefits will also be reduced. If, at
anytime after retirement, the husband decides
to return to work, the wife's benefits will
be stopped.
The result is that women are short
changed by the system, because it has
failed to meet their needs and guarantee
them economic justice. A constitutional
amendment for equal rights for women
will make it possible for the sex biased
system to be updated.
Times are changing, but the laws have
not kept up. Equality under the law must
become a basic law for all Americans.
Women can not be made to fight for their
rights every four years with the changing
political tides.
Barbara Ehrereich and Karen Stallard
wrote in "'Ms# magazine that by the year
2000 all of the nation's poor will be women
and their children. They referred to tlu!m
as the nouveau poor." Most people know
that the entitlements of the poor, what the
Reagan Administration calls their #runaway entitlements,# are slated to take the
brunt of the federal budget cuts, but what
they do not know is that the poor are
mostly women. Two out of three adults
who fall under federal definition of poverty are women. Moreover, more than
half of the families defined as poor are
maintained by single women. The number
of female headed families with children
increased by 81% during the seventies.
The New Right has an innovative plan
for women in which they would like to
legalize #homework", so that woemn can
work in their own homes. This was a widespread practice in the 19th century. Another Right Wing solution for feminine poverty is marriage.
Onalee McGraw, who handles education and family issues at the Heritage
Foundation-the New Right think tank funded
by beer magnate Joseph Coors, rejects
increasing women's earnings on the basis
that their priority is to make men productive workers and reliable husbands. She says, H Anything that will make
women more independent is a threat to
men." She also believes that welfare should
be abolished, because it like any other
form of female income weakens male responsibility.
The New Right is not the only hardcore conservative element that opposes
women. A book entitled ~ e Complete
Chauvinist, A Survival Guide for the
H
Bedeviled Male# by Dr. Edgar Berman,
was published recently by McMillin pub- .
lishing company. Dr. Berman made the
statement a few years ago that -raging
hormonal imbalance" disqualified women
from holding political power. Feminists
took his statemnt before the Democratic
party's committee on National Priorities
and #because of that, I always had to keep
defending myself," he said.
He contends that a deficiency of the
hormonal testosterone, which fuels male
aggressiveness, ensures that women will
not become high achievers. "She is the
one as prone to splitting headaches as we
are to splitting atoms," stated Dr. Berman. He also added that "the biggest
fraud since the Loch Ness monster is that
the women's liberation movement is over."
Society will not progress by returning
to practices of the 19th century. Where
the New Right emphasizes "pro familydominated by men, feminists emphasize
#pro family# on the basis of equal sharing,
a partnership in which men will have a
caring-belonging role with the domination-power image.
ERA is not a panacea for all of todays
ills, but in some areas it would give women
legal status and protection they do not
have, but that they often assume they do.

Financial Aid Woes
By Larry Baaale•
Many students on campus are experiencing problems in receiving their financial aid, and as a result, some have
dropped o 1r and others have not bought
their books for the semester. Similiar
incidences comprise the center of a massive problem for C?UF minority students.
#A lot of students have either dropped
out or are thinking about it, because of
financial aid difficulties,H stated George
Santiago, Associated Students Vice-President. HThey can receive extensibns on
paying their fees; however, not all students
are notified of this procedure, he continued.
H
At a meeting held on October 27 with
Dean Corcoran and President Haak
Alliance members Maggie Castro, Ralph
Gonzales, and Andrea Hedgely discussed
their complaints. Numerous students pre·
s~nted testimonials about their problems
with the Financial Aid office. They demanded that book loans be granted to students who hadn't purchased books, that a
reasonable distribution system be implemented and that financial aid documents
arrive in time for students to complete
them by C.A.R. registration deadline.
Administrators stressed how much
impact the federal and state levels have
on university policies, stating that they
were not notified of budget allocations
until October which caused many delays.
They also encouraged the Alliance to take
its complaints to Financial Aid director
Joseph Hueston, who later said they
should talk with administrators.
Alliance members urge students to
begin a letter-writing campaign to Congressmen, Financial Aid director Hueston, Dean Corcoran, President Haak and
Chancellor Reynolds. "Lots of students
are dissatisfied with administrative policies," Santiago said, "and hopefully these
policies will change."
Last year two-thirds of students who
received financial assistance to attend
college at CSUF had been awarded their
letters by September 1st. The first week
in the Fall semester, ten out of nearly 300
new Educational Opportunity Program
students received their letters. !here
seems to be a lack of concern by the
Financial Aid office for students,"
Santiago explained.
Students are then forced to take out
emergency loans until all paper work is
;omplete. "For example,H Santiago noted,
one student who hadn't received her
award took out a $100.00 loan to cover
essentials. She waited for a few more
weeks and still hasn't received her award
and now she can't take out another loa~
because· she hasn't repaid her first."
On Friday, November 5th, the Alliance
sponsored a solidarity march, protesting
the delayed awards, distribution policies
and allocation amounts. Students hoped
to prevent future generations from experiencing financial problems and to attract
attention to the magnitude of the
problem.

MECHA Attends Conference
~ Sylvia Ca•tro
In this large state of ours, Fresno is ·
hardly ever recognized as being sign!fi·
cant for anything except maybe for its
wealthy farming community. But at the
1982 Fall MEChA Statewide Conference
held at Bakersfield College, Fresno carried a lot of clout, even among some of the
larger cities like Los Angeles and San
Diego, where supposedly all the action
takes place.
At the w.af■ arKe this i,ltlli Qlla
MEChA initiated three resolutio~ of the
eight proposed. All three pased with minor
or no changes. Anyone who has attended
a conference before knows that this is not
always an easy task to accomplish. Many
times long debates continue, and usually
a resolution will be defeated if the parties
can not come to terms with the issue.
The three resolutions were "Latin Ame•
rican Issues", supporting the people in
Central and South American struggles,
the "Coors Boycott", reinforcing the boycott on Coors beer made several years
ago, and "Student Support Services",
focusing on student financial aid cuts and
other student aid issues pertaining to
Chicanos and other minorities on
campus.
This fall's turnout of approximately 150
students at the Bakersfield community
campus was smaller than previous years.
Some campuses sent one or two repre•
sentatives, usually someone from their
, respective boards. Fresno's chapter had
thirteen members along with nine members
from CSUF's Teatro de\ Espiritu. UC,
CSUC, city and local high school campuses from all over California were invited
to attend.
Some of the concerns the conference
addressed were the probable fall of the
Chicano Studies Department at Cal-State
Los Angeles, the Simpson-Mazzoli bill-which would require every "legal"' person
in the United States to carry a national
identification card at all times or face certain penalties --to be presented and voted
on in November, Chicano support for the
anti-nuclear movement in California and
declaring May 3 as a memorial day for
those youths killed in barrio warfare.
The statewide structure meeting resulted in assigning certain areas of concern
to various campuses to do research and
keep lines of communication open between
campuses and hopefully Jliave some definite plan of action to be presented at the
Spring Conference. CSUF's MEChA will
be following-up on student aid services.
The Spring planning meeting is set for
February in the Los Angeles area, and the
Spring conference is tentatively set for
either late March or early April in the San
August 29 is currently memorialized for
Ruben Salazar, a Los Angeles Times
reporter, who along with others was killed
by local police forces in 1970 during the
largest anti-war demonstration in Los
Angeles.
A standing ovation was given to United
Farm Workers Vice-chairperson, Dolores
Huerta, who emphasized organization
and unity among all Chicanos and urged
Mechistas to "keep on working" to keep
faith despite the struggles.
"If we don't learn to use our numbers,
we are nothing!," she stressed. Huerta
also pointed out the huge growth of Chicanos in California. "It is because we're
not well organized that we're politically
weak."
She praised MEChA for being one of
few organizations of the sixties to have
survived and continued working, despite
many attempts by outside organizations
to "comprarlos." She warned that some

reaction by most of those present was
that she belonged on the TV program
"That's Incredible." Her posture and assertive manner of speaking displayed the
confidance in herself and in the message
she gave to her audience. After having
read a poem from a book written by Gus
Frias, she raised her fist and chanted,
"Que viva las ninas y los ninos!" Everyone
stood up and applauded her and then reapplauded her with the official"Movimiento"

One enthusiastic male member from
Bakersfield said, "I want to have twelve
children like her. Does anyone want to
help me?"
Her speech was followed by CSUF's
Teatro de\ Espiritu, directed by Willie
Lopez, which presented their theme "acto"
about the conduct in some MEChA meet·
ings. They showed how sometimes things
don't get done because of distractions,
inattentiveness, irresponsibilities or too

La Raza Courses
By Loardu Villarreal
Chicano college students are going
through an '1" phase •-a "me first"' attitude
says Ernesto Martinez, Coordinator of
the La Raza Studies Program.
Concerned with the decrease in Chicano enrollment in La Raza courses, Martinez, states that in the last seven years
the level of social awareness among Chicano students has declined.
"We have to undo what the schools
have done," says Martinez. "The schools
have brainwashed students into believing
that there's no more prejudice --that
there are no more problems."
According to Martinez, because Chicanos are facing a wave of conservatism,
there's only a nucleus of students who are
politically involved. "There's lack of participation among students,"' says Mar
tinez.
"We see very few 'Chicanos'; Now the
term is 'Hispanic,'" adds Martinez.
Martinez doesn't like the term, 'Hispanic,' because, '"It was pushed on us
(Chicanos) by the federal government
and by the federal Chicano bureaucrates ...,.He adds, "People are taking the bait
(using the term, Hispanic) because it supposedly encompasses everyone. 'Hispanic'
has became a 'nicer word' than the term
Mexicano or Chicano."
·
/ Martinez also objects to the term, 'His~ i c , ' because, according to him, it is a
misnomer. "The term, 'Hispanic,· does
not relfect the Chicano/Mexicano population of the San Joaquin Central Valley,"
. states ~rµnez~. : . . .
•'
.~·. . .
-"
,. .
Martinez recommends that not only
Chicano students, but rather all students
in general take la Raza courses or any
ethnic class to become aware of the
diversities in the cultures.
The La Raza Studies Program was
established during the late 60's and early
7o's movement. The objectives of the
program are: 1) to promote an awareness
of the historical and cultural factors that
characterize the Chicano, 2) to cultivate
an understanding and appreciation of
ethnic differences among all people, and
3) to critically analyze the Chicano experience in terms of significant issues, concepts, theories, and current problems.
Some of the "experimental" courses,
according to Martinez, that will be offered
in the Spring '83 semester are: "Chicanos
in Politics," taught by Angie Cisneros;
"The Political Economy of the Southwest," taught by Dr. Daniel Moreno; "Chicanos in the Media," taught by Hugo
Morales, and "Career Planning,"' taught
by Alicia Andrade. Martinez recommends "'Career Planning" to students
who are still undeclared in their maj<?r·.
Martinez addes that students should be
aware that some of the La Raza courses
fulfill the General Education requirements.
Martinez hopes that offering a wider
selection of courses will attract more student enrollment in La Raza courses. ,

FRIDAY
Palestinians Share Their Culture
By Larry Banalea
The General Union of Palestine Students
(GUPS) is sponsoring a Palestinian cultural awareness week through Friday, November 19, which will include panel discussions, speakers, exhibits and movie and
slide presentations. According to GUPS
President, Omar Baddar, these functions
serve "To educate people about Palestine's
plight, as well as its heritage."
"This week will also show Palestinians
here that we're preserving an important
part of our homeland--our culture-despite the hardships our people are
experiencing," Baddar stated. "They also
show our people that we support them.
There has been enough destruction of
our people and land."
All too often Americans are given only
an Israeli view of the conflict, and "there
needs to be an education program to let
people know our perspectives and realize
what's happening," Baddar continued.
"The speakers presenting speeches have
visited the West Bank and Beruit and
provide first-hand information about
events going on there."
Among activities scheduled for today
are a food sale from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. in the Free Speech area and a movie
entitled "We Are The Palestinians" to be
shown at 7:00 p.m. in the College Union.
"Peace can be a beautiful word," Baddar
said, "but it . can also be misused. A
country may declare peace but still oppress
a people and their land, and there is no
peace."

There will be "no physical progress in
our struggle as long as the United States
supports Israel. There will just be more
killings and destruction," Baddar continued. "The Israelis use sophisticated American weapons, and if we continue to
experience this problem, there will not be
any peaceful progress."
La Voz: 1969-1982
By Bobby Rodriquez
La Voz, or La Pluma Morena (The
Brown Pen) as it was first called, was
spawned from the turbulent times of the
late 60s and early 70s, when racial tensions were high and protest demonstrations were a common occurence.
The first issue was done on May 5,
1969, its content was largely political. Stories ranged from, the opposition to the
draft; the on-going war in Vietnam; the
"Liberation of Chicanos"; to Cesaer
Chavez' farm labor struggle.
The newspaper's political stance was
no secret; its stories and art work
depicted that. The name changed form La
Pluma Morena to Chicano Liberation,
with the name encircled in bandoliers.
Stories calling for an end to oppresion and
the need for justice were standard copy.
The atmosphere in the early 70s was one
of urgency for Chicanos, and La Voz captured it. Every square inch of every page
was used, with either a story, artwork, or
a poem relating the need for Chicanos to
educate, motivate and participate.
The use of La Voz as a medium for the
Chicano viewpoint was an important
objective, but also just as important was
the desperately needed experience that
Chicano journalists received.
With that experience, La Voz became
the starting point for such local media
people as Tom Uribes, editor of Sentimientos and El Tiempo; Al Reyes, former
Channel 30 reporter and now with El
Tiempo; Marty Uribes, reporter with
Channel 47; and Larry Romero, formerly
with the Fresno Bee and currently with
the San Jose Mercury News.
La Voz spoke with Larry Romero, who
was editor during the years 74-75, about
his experiences and feelings with La Voz.
"It was an alternative newspaper, it
gave a voice that was needed and is still
needed today," Romero said. Larry also
agreed that La Voz was a good training
ground for a reporter.

"What is also ironic," Baddar said, "is
that U.S. taxpayers are paying for the destruction of Lebanon and will eventually
pay for its construction. It's a tragedy that
most Americans don't realize this."
That is why more people should 1isten
to as much information" about this conflict
to understand the circumstances ,so they
may do as much as they can to hinder the
U.S. from contributing to the destruction.

Commentary: ERA Still Alive
By Edtel Paz I
With the first ERA campaign behind them
the National Organization for Women
(NOW), the most active feminist group,
held a National Conference in Indianapolis on October8-10th, 1982. NOW'sPresident-elect, Judy Goldsmith, a former English professor from the University of Wisconsin, will move into her new Washington, D.C. office on December 1, 1982.
In addition to electing national officers,
NOW concentrated on improving the status of women in areas of equal pay, education, Social Security and any other
areas where women's rights are denied.
Congress and state legislators have
passed equal employment laws over the
past twenty years, but these statue's approach
is insufficient. Equal employment laws
can be replaced at any time. Women are
in the work place to stay, and the drive for
constitutional amendment must continue
until it is achieved.
Minority women are victims of a double
problem: racism and sexism. Women on
the average are paid 59¢ for every dollar a
man is paid for the same work, and for
Hispanic women it is 49¢. Though many
Asian women are educated, they are still
concentrated in lower paying jobs.
In 1972, Congress passed Title 1 of the
Education Amendment, which prohibits
discrimination in any educational program
or activity receiving federal financial assistance. However, a major fault in today's
education system is that schools direct
females into low-paying, dead-end jobs,
primarily clerks, sales people, hairdressers
· and waitresses. The enforcement of Title
1 depends upon tracing distribution of
federal dollars to particular school programs. Furthermore, equal education laws
are only statutes passed by Congress
which can be reversed at any time.
Also under current laws, women, especially older women, are victims of our
Social Security system. It is a sex biased
system that causes millions of women to
live in poverty in their old age. Widowed
or divorced women are most seriously
affected. Of the 13 million women 65 or
over in 1979, 72% had to live on less than
$5,000 per year. For 60% of older women,
Social Security is their only source of
income. Full-time married homemakers
have never been covered by Social Security. It is structured so that married homemakers receive benefits through
their covered husbands, if they have been
married to the same man for ten years. If a
homemaker dies or becomes disabled,
she and her family are not entitled to disability or surviver benefits. If a homemaker is widowed, she will receive no
benefits until age 60, unless she has a child
under age 18 or she is disabled. She can
receive full benefits only if she waits until
age 65 to retire.
If a homemaker reaches retirement
with her husband, her benefits will be
equal to only half of his. If he retires early
and receives reduced benefits, the homemaker's benefits will also be reduced. If, at
anytime after retirement, the husband decides
to return to work, the wife's benefits will
be stopped.
The result is that women are short
changed by the system, because it has
failed to meet their needs and guarantee
them economic justice. A constitutional
amendment for equal rights for women
will make it possible for the sex biased
system to be updated.
Times are changing, but the laws have
not kept up. Equality under the law must
become a basic law for all Americans.
Women can not be made to fight for their
rights every four years with the changing
political tides.
Barbara Ehrereich and Karen Stallard
wrote in "'Ms# magazine that by the year
2000 all of the nation's poor will be women
and their children. They referred to tlu!m
as the nouveau poor." Most people know
that the entitlements of the poor, what the
Reagan Administration calls their #runaway entitlements,# are slated to take the
brunt of the federal budget cuts, but what
they do not know is that the poor are
mostly women. Two out of three adults
who fall under federal definition of poverty are women. Moreover, more than
half of the families defined as poor are
maintained by single women. The number
of female headed families with children
increased by 81% during the seventies.
The New Right has an innovative plan
for women in which they would like to
legalize #homework", so that woemn can
work in their own homes. This was a widespread practice in the 19th century. Another Right Wing solution for feminine poverty is marriage.
Onalee McGraw, who handles education and family issues at the Heritage
Foundation-the New Right think tank funded
by beer magnate Joseph Coors, rejects
increasing women's earnings on the basis
that their priority is to make men productive workers and reliable husbands. She says, H Anything that will make
women more independent is a threat to
men." She also believes that welfare should
be abolished, because it like any other
form of female income weakens male responsibility.
The New Right is not the only hardcore conservative element that opposes
women. A book entitled ~ e Complete
Chauvinist, A Survival Guide for the
H
Bedeviled Male# by Dr. Edgar Berman,
was published recently by McMillin pub- .
lishing company. Dr. Berman made the
statement a few years ago that -raging
hormonal imbalance" disqualified women
from holding political power. Feminists
took his statemnt before the Democratic
party's committee on National Priorities
and #because of that, I always had to keep
defending myself," he said.
He contends that a deficiency of the
hormonal testosterone, which fuels male
aggressiveness, ensures that women will
not become high achievers. "She is the
one as prone to splitting headaches as we
are to splitting atoms," stated Dr. Berman. He also added that "the biggest
fraud since the Loch Ness monster is that
the women's liberation movement is over."
Society will not progress by returning
to practices of the 19th century. Where
the New Right emphasizes "pro familydominated by men, feminists emphasize
#pro family# on the basis of equal sharing,
a partnership in which men will have a
caring-belonging role with the domination-power image.
ERA is not a panacea for all of todays
ills, but in some areas it would give women
legal status and protection they do not
have, but that they often assume they do.

Financial Aid Woes
By Larry Baaale•
Many students on campus are experiencing problems in receiving their financial aid, and as a result, some have
dropped o 1r and others have not bought
their books for the semester. Similiar
incidences comprise the center of a massive problem for C?UF minority students.
#A lot of students have either dropped
out or are thinking about it, because of
financial aid difficulties,H stated George
Santiago, Associated Students Vice-President. HThey can receive extensibns on
paying their fees; however, not all students
are notified of this procedure, he continued.
H
At a meeting held on October 27 with
Dean Corcoran and President Haak
Alliance members Maggie Castro, Ralph
Gonzales, and Andrea Hedgely discussed
their complaints. Numerous students pre·
s~nted testimonials about their problems
with the Financial Aid office. They demanded that book loans be granted to students who hadn't purchased books, that a
reasonable distribution system be implemented and that financial aid documents
arrive in time for students to complete
them by C.A.R. registration deadline.
Administrators stressed how much
impact the federal and state levels have
on university policies, stating that they
were not notified of budget allocations
until October which caused many delays.
They also encouraged the Alliance to take
its complaints to Financial Aid director
Joseph Hueston, who later said they
should talk with administrators.
Alliance members urge students to
begin a letter-writing campaign to Congressmen, Financial Aid director Hueston, Dean Corcoran, President Haak and
Chancellor Reynolds. "Lots of students
are dissatisfied with administrative policies," Santiago said, "and hopefully these
policies will change."
Last year two-thirds of students who
received financial assistance to attend
college at CSUF had been awarded their
letters by September 1st. The first week
in the Fall semester, ten out of nearly 300
new Educational Opportunity Program
students received their letters. !here
seems to be a lack of concern by the
Financial Aid office for students,"
Santiago explained.
Students are then forced to take out
emergency loans until all paper work is
;omplete. "For example,H Santiago noted,
one student who hadn't received her
award took out a $100.00 loan to cover
essentials. She waited for a few more
weeks and still hasn't received her award
and now she can't take out another loa~
because· she hasn't repaid her first."
On Friday, November 5th, the Alliance
sponsored a solidarity march, protesting
the delayed awards, distribution policies
and allocation amounts. Students hoped
to prevent future generations from experiencing financial problems and to attract
attention to the magnitude of the
problem.

MECHA Attends Conference
~ Sylvia Ca•tro
In this large state of ours, Fresno is ·
hardly ever recognized as being sign!fi·
cant for anything except maybe for its
wealthy farming community. But at the
1982 Fall MEChA Statewide Conference
held at Bakersfield College, Fresno carried a lot of clout, even among some of the
larger cities like Los Angeles and San
Diego, where supposedly all the action
takes place.
At the w.af■ arKe this i,ltlli Qlla
MEChA initiated three resolutio~ of the
eight proposed. All three pased with minor
or no changes. Anyone who has attended
a conference before knows that this is not
always an easy task to accomplish. Many
times long debates continue, and usually
a resolution will be defeated if the parties
can not come to terms with the issue.
The three resolutions were "Latin Ame•
rican Issues", supporting the people in
Central and South American struggles,
the "Coors Boycott", reinforcing the boycott on Coors beer made several years
ago, and "Student Support Services",
focusing on student financial aid cuts and
other student aid issues pertaining to
Chicanos and other minorities on
campus.
This fall's turnout of approximately 150
students at the Bakersfield community
campus was smaller than previous years.
Some campuses sent one or two repre•
sentatives, usually someone from their
, respective boards. Fresno's chapter had
thirteen members along with nine members
from CSUF's Teatro de\ Espiritu. UC,
CSUC, city and local high school campuses from all over California were invited
to attend.
Some of the concerns the conference
addressed were the probable fall of the
Chicano Studies Department at Cal-State
Los Angeles, the Simpson-Mazzoli bill-which would require every "legal"' person
in the United States to carry a national
identification card at all times or face certain penalties --to be presented and voted
on in November, Chicano support for the
anti-nuclear movement in California and
declaring May 3 as a memorial day for
those youths killed in barrio warfare.
The statewide structure meeting resulted in assigning certain areas of concern
to various campuses to do research and
keep lines of communication open between
campuses and hopefully Jliave some definite plan of action to be presented at the
Spring Conference. CSUF's MEChA will
be following-up on student aid services.
The Spring planning meeting is set for
February in the Los Angeles area, and the
Spring conference is tentatively set for
either late March or early April in the San
August 29 is currently memorialized for
Ruben Salazar, a Los Angeles Times
reporter, who along with others was killed
by local police forces in 1970 during the
largest anti-war demonstration in Los
Angeles.
A standing ovation was given to United
Farm Workers Vice-chairperson, Dolores
Huerta, who emphasized organization
and unity among all Chicanos and urged
Mechistas to "keep on working" to keep
faith despite the struggles.
"If we don't learn to use our numbers,
we are nothing!," she stressed. Huerta
also pointed out the huge growth of Chicanos in California. "It is because we're
not well organized that we're politically
weak."
She praised MEChA for being one of
few organizations of the sixties to have
survived and continued working, despite
many attempts by outside organizations
to "comprarlos." She warned that some

reaction by most of those present was
that she belonged on the TV program
"That's Incredible." Her posture and assertive manner of speaking displayed the
confidance in herself and in the message
she gave to her audience. After having
read a poem from a book written by Gus
Frias, she raised her fist and chanted,
"Que viva las ninas y los ninos!" Everyone
stood up and applauded her and then reapplauded her with the official"Movimiento"
applause.
One enthusiastic male member from
Bakersfield said, "I want to have twelve
children like her. Does anyone want to
help me?"
Her speech was followed by CSUF's
Teatro de\ Espiritu, directed by Willie
Lopez, which presented their theme "acto"
about the conduct in some MEChA meet·
ings. They showed how sometimes things
don't get done because of distractions,
inattentiveness, irresponsibilities or too

Lopez pointed out that most of the time

HCOP: Health

La Raza Courses
By Loardu Villarreal
Chicano college students are going
through an '1" phase •-a "me first"' attitude
says Ernesto Martinez, Coordinator of
the La Raza Studies Program.
Concerned with the decrease in Chicano enrollment in La Raza courses, Martinez, states that in the last seven years
the level of social awareness among Chicano students has declined.
"We have to undo what the schools
have done," says Martinez. "The schools
have brainwashed students into believing
that there's no more prejudice --that
there are no more problems."
According to Martinez, because Chicanos are facing a wave of conservatism,
there's only a nucleus of students who are
politically involved. "There's lack of participation among students,"' says Mar
tinez.
"We see very few 'Chicanos'; Now the
term is 'Hispanic,'" adds Martinez.
Martinez doesn't like the term, 'Hispanic,' because, '"It was pushed on us
(Chicanos) by the federal government
and by the federal Chicano bureaucrates ...,.He adds, "People are taking the bait
(using the term, Hispanic) because it supposedly encompasses everyone. 'Hispanic'
has became a 'nicer word' than the term
Mexicano or Chicano."
·
/ Martinez also objects to the term, 'His~ i c , ' because, according to him, it is a
misnomer. "The term, 'Hispanic,· does
not relfect the Chicano/Mexicano population of the San Joaquin Central Valley,"
. states ~rµnez~. : . . .
•'
.~·. . .
-"
,. .
Martinez recommends that not only
Chicano students, but rather all students
in general take la Raza courses or any
ethnic class to become aware of the
diversities in the cultures.
The La Raza Studies Program was
established during the late 60's and early
7o's movement. The objectives of the
program are: 1) to promote an awareness
of the historical and cultural factors that
characterize the Chicano, 2) to cultivate
an understanding and appreciation of
ethnic differences among all people, and
3) to critically analyze the Chicano experience in terms of significant issues, concepts, theories, and current problems.
Some of the "experimental" courses,
according to Martinez, that will be offered
in the Spring '83 semester are: "Chicanos
in Politics," taught by Angie Cisneros;
"The Political Economy of the Southwest," taught by Dr. Daniel Moreno; "Chicanos in the Media," taught by Hugo
Morales, and "Career Planning,"' taught
by Alicia Andrade. Martinez recommends "'Career Planning" to students
who are still undeclared in their maj<?r·.
Martinez addes that students should be
aware that some of the La Raza courses
fulfill the General Education requirements.
Martinez hopes that offering a wider
selection of courses will attract more student enrollment in La Raza courses. ,
