Certain elements within the student body-those labeled racist because of their
political agenda- convinced a lot of gullible students last semester that ASI president
Andres Montoya hates all white people.
Those who gathered signatures for his recall stood out in front of the library
trying to convince passer-bys that he really hated whites, and only cared about Chicanos.
The only evidence they offered the students in exchange for their signatures is the "Go
Home, Whitey!" sign displayed at a Columbus Day rally last semester. They told people
and convinced the media that Montoya was responsible, although all he did was to attend
the rally: he didn't make the sign or hold it, and, in fact, didn't even know it was being
carried by a woman from the Valley who attends full-time here. She was shocked and
upset to discover the institutional racism at CSUF, a racism unrecognizable to most white
people, but recognized by peoples of color and some whites, most often, women.
The sign was made the night before when some Native American and Chic no
students organized a sign-ma~ing party. The artist, Daniel Chacon, drew a picture of a
ship sailing to shore where a group of natives stood. Historians know that Columbus
wrote in his journal how friendly the Indians were, how they welcomed their guests to the
shores and offered all the provisions they h..id, and thus were easy to kill and herd off into
slavery.
They were too friendly. Not in Chacon's picture. There the Indians were on
shore, but they waved their Brown fists in the air, angry, because they knew .what the
White man wanted. They yelled, "Go home, Whitey!"
They were all in a USU conference room. Montoya was down the hall in his office
talking to his friends Cyndi McCollister, Lawrence Tovar, and Lee Say Leng, whom jus~
came by to say hi.
The next morning the woman and other MEChA members went to get the signs
for the protest. She chose the "Go home, Whitey!" sign, not for the cartoon of the Indians
and Coh.1.mbus, but for the words on the sign. She was angry.
Some students who have a conservative political agenda, those called racist,
witnessed this Columbus Day protest and saw this woman carrying the sign. It was all
they needed to start calling Montoya a racist, even though he had nothing to do with it.
These same people running the recall, and the administration, were sµrprised
last year when it was announced that Montoya, a somewhat radical Chicano, won the
elections. The conservatives, who have been called racists by many, immediately talked
of a recall, even before Montoya occupied office; and it is no secret that the CSUF administration kept files on Montoya, and he was probably considered one of the "problems''
that in-coming CSUF president John Welty would have to deal with, in order to more
accurately reflect the interests of the CSUF Association.
Montoya is a member of Chicano organizations such as The Chicano WritersArtists Association and has been involved with the Chicano movement for many years.
He went through Summer Bridge, ate lunch in front of the Old Cafeteria, and was not a
member of a Fraternity, a business club, or an ultra-conservative organization like YAF,
which many have called racist.
He wasn't anything like the students who are used to winning the student
elections, so they had to get rid of him.
Certain students thought to be racists started telling everyone how racist
Montoya was, which translated meant he cared about the Chicano movement and is
committed. They attempted tohavethelargelywhiteASI senateofficiaIJyreprimand him.
But the senate didn't take these allegations seriously, and dismissed the notion.
So they got out a petition, gathered the signatures of every racist on campus, and
when that w~sn't enough to get a recall, they lied to people, in front of the library, in the
free speech area, in the classrooms and media.
There were over 1,000 signatures gathered for the recall. I refuse to believe that
all of them are signatures from racists, or that they are even from conservatives.:
Most people who signed the petition have been lied to. They do not understand
that there is a connection to Montoya's recall and the rise of hate literature on campus.
·
They do not know that the administration, that is, the dean of student affairs, all
the way up to the president's office, wants Montoya out. They are ~fraid of him, not
because they think he is a racist, but because they know he can organize students of all
colors effettively against decisions made for us by them. We need only to look at the
recent protest rally for the proposed 40% fee hike to see that Montoya is not concerned
with narrow issues that do not concern all students. He has helped to bring increased
library hours, has worked against tl\e administration to bring alternate food services to
campus, and has gotten students an increase in short-term loans.
Most of the students who marched to Welty's office after the protest Montoya
helped organize were white. Although Montoya and MEChA are the ones who are the
most visible in Tent City next to the library, many students from all backgrounds were

The 19th Annual Chicano Youth Conference (C.Y.C.)
was held at CSU, Fresno, on Jan. 18,1992. More than 50
schools and 1,880 students from around the State of California attended. The C.Y.C. is a M.E.C.h.A. sponsored event
which has earned a reputation as the largest and longest
running event of its kind in California. For 19 years,. members at the C.Y.C. committee have organized this program
and with much effort have been successful in reaching their
objective. Tne objective is designed to expose our Chicano i
a youths to the University in hopes that they will pursue a
higher education.
This year's.conference featured two keynote speakers:
Dr. Lea Ybarra and Jose Antonio Burciaga. Dr. Lea Ybarra
earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley and she is currently the Director of the
CSU,Fresno Faculty Mentoring Program. A former chairperson of the Chicano Latin-American Studies Department,
she has also gained world-wide recognition for her writings
about women and their status in society.

invloved in all aspects of the protest. Montoya works
for students.
The students and administrators who want Montoya ousted are afraid that he is leading everyone into
too radical politics. They are afraid of students becoming too organized, too politically powerful. The dean
of students affairs office has a recent history of overturning decisions made by the ASI, decisions made by
the legal representaives of the students, and now they
are asking to be able to run the recall elections because
the League of Women's Voters has declined.
Apparently the administration and a handful of
racist students do not believe elections are not important if it mrons decisions will be made that go aganist
the grain of their own interests. We should all be happy
standing on the shores of our future, wekom'ing with
open arms the Columbian decisions they make on our
behalf.
LETI'ER from page 2
Asian brothers, am keenly aware of the significance
that education plays in the future of our communities. Education is not only our link to our past but
key to the economic and cultural survival of our
people's future. A man in chains armed with
knowledge can be free of mind and spirit. A
symbol of strength and character. A free man
chained by ignorance is void of history, powew.ess
in the present and has no place in the future. The
importance of education for all cannot be overstated. The absolute necessity of education for
Chicanos and minorities·is an absolute prerequisite
for our survival. I call on all students regardless of
race, color or economic background to raise your
voice in one united call to halt the increase of tuition
fees. Knowledge is the road to freedom. Let us
continue our journey.
Freedom; One Cause; One World.

•La Voz says, "Things that make you go hrnmmm?"
Dear Editor,
I would like to say something to all those Chicano and
Mexicano activists out there. The ones that seem to be
always saying the same old thing, that there is oppression, that our families struggling in the fields are
exploited by a society that is based on greed and
selfishness, a society that doesn't give a damn .ibout
the poor. To these people I would like to say that
though it may seem your cries for justice fall upon
deaf ears, there is someone that hears.
Christ promises us that you will be comforted; He
promises that your families will inherit the earth. I
want to encourage you to keep speaking for justice, for
the rights of the poor, to speak for those who have no
voice, for these are noble things.
. But also let me say, know the difference between
anger and hate. Know that we too are human and are
subject also to worldy desires, desires to be put above
others, desires to treat the oppressors as they have
treated us. Know that Christ hates the sin but loves
the sinner. Know that Christ loves you and died on
the cross for your sins.

parent's committee, some
Dinuba students, and community le9ders drove down to
Southern California to meet
with Jesse Jackson. Mr. Jackson
was very supportive of the
actions the students had taken.
For example, he was pleased
with the boycott, and the
amount of effort the parents
along with the student~ were
putting into the boycott, in order
to get representation on the
school, city and hospital boards.
Much of the demonstrations
and marches in Dinuba have
ceased. But that doesn't mean
the community has quit. They
have started boycotting many
businesses that they feel have let
them down. This decision has
put more pressure ~m the school
board and other high ranking
• officials in Dinuba. You don't
hear much about Dinuba
anymore. Many believe it's over,
but our Raza isn't defeated yet.

Certain elements within the student body-those labeled racist because of their
political agenda- convinced a lot of gullible students last semester that ASI president
Andres Montoya hates all white people.
Those who gathered signatures for his recall stood out in front of the library
trying to convince passer-bys that he really hated whites, and only cared about Chicanos.
The only evidence they offered the students in exchange for their signatures is the "Go
Home, Whitey!" sign displayed at a Columbus Day rally last semester. They told people
and convinced the media that Montoya was responsible, although all he did was to attend
the rally: he didn't make the sign or hold it, and, in fact, didn't even know it was being
carried by a woman from the Valley who attends full-time here. She was shocked and
upset to discover the institutional racism at CSUF, a racism unrecognizable to most white
people, but recognized by peoples of color and some whites, most often, women.
The sign was made the night before when some Native American and Chic no
students organized a sign-ma~ing party. The artist, Daniel Chacon, drew a picture of a
ship sailing to shore where a group of natives stood. Historians know that Columbus
wrote in his journal how friendly the Indians were, how they welcomed their guests to the
shores and offered all the provisions they h..id, and thus were easy to kill and herd off into
slavery.
They were too friendly. Not in Chacon's picture. There the Indians were on
shore, but they waved their Brown fists in the air, angry, because they knew .what the
White man wanted. They yelled, "Go home, Whitey!"
They were all in a USU conference room. Montoya was down the hall in his office
talking to his friends Cyndi McCollister, Lawrence Tovar, and Lee Say Leng, whom jus~
came by to say hi.
The next morning the woman and other MEChA members went to get the signs
for the protest. She chose the "Go home, Whitey!" sign, not for the cartoon of the Indians
and Coh.1.mbus, but for the words on the sign. She was angry.
Some students who have a conservative political agenda, those called racist,
witnessed this Columbus Day protest and saw this woman carrying the sign. It was all
they needed to start calling Montoya a racist, even though he had nothing to do with it.
These same people running the recall, and the administration, were sµrprised
last year when it was announced that Montoya, a somewhat radical Chicano, won the
elections. The conservatives, who have been called racists by many, immediately talked
of a recall, even before Montoya occupied office; and it is no secret that the CSUF administration kept files on Montoya, and he was probably considered one of the "problems''
that in-coming CSUF president John Welty would have to deal with, in order to more
accurately reflect the interests of the CSUF Association.
Montoya is a member of Chicano organizations such as The Chicano WritersArtists Association and has been involved with the Chicano movement for many years.
He went through Summer Bridge, ate lunch in front of the Old Cafeteria, and was not a
member of a Fraternity, a business club, or an ultra-conservative organization like YAF,
which many have called racist.
He wasn't anything like the students who are used to winning the student
elections, so they had to get rid of him.
Certain students thought to be racists started telling everyone how racist
Montoya was, which translated meant he cared about the Chicano movement and is
committed. They attempted tohavethelargelywhiteASI senateofficiaIJyreprimand him.
But the senate didn't take these allegations seriously, and dismissed the notion.
So they got out a petition, gathered the signatures of every racist on campus, and
when that w~sn't enough to get a recall, they lied to people, in front of the library, in the
free speech area, in the classrooms and media.
There were over 1,000 signatures gathered for the recall. I refuse to believe that
all of them are signatures from racists, or that they are even from conservatives.:
Most people who signed the petition have been lied to. They do not understand
that there is a connection to Montoya's recall and the rise of hate literature on campus.
·
They do not know that the administration, that is, the dean of student affairs, all
the way up to the president's office, wants Montoya out. They are ~fraid of him, not
because they think he is a racist, but because they know he can organize students of all
colors effettively against decisions made for us by them. We need only to look at the
recent protest rally for the proposed 40% fee hike to see that Montoya is not concerned
with narrow issues that do not concern all students. He has helped to bring increased
library hours, has worked against tl\e administration to bring alternate food services to
campus, and has gotten students an increase in short-term loans.
Most of the students who marched to Welty's office after the protest Montoya
helped organize were white. Although Montoya and MEChA are the ones who are the
most visible in Tent City next to the library, many students from all backgrounds were

Staff writer
The 19th Annual Chicano Youth Conference (C.Y.C.)
was held at CSU, Fresno, on Jan. 18,1992. More than 50
schools and 1,880 students from around the State of California attended. The C.Y.C. is a M.E.C.h.A. sponsored event
which has earned a reputation as the largest and longest
running event of its kind in California. For 19 years,. members at the C.Y.C. committee have organized this program
and with much effort have been successful in reaching their
objective. Tne objective is designed to expose our Chicano i
a youths to the University in hopes that they will pursue a
higher education.
This year's.conference featured two keynote speakers:
Dr. Lea Ybarra and Jose Antonio Burciaga. Dr. Lea Ybarra
earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley and she is currently the Director of the
CSU,Fresno Faculty Mentoring Program. A former chairperson of the Chicano Latin-American Studies Department,
she has also gained world-wide recognition for her writings
about women and their status in society.

invloved in all aspects of the protest. Montoya works
for students.
The students and administrators who want Montoya ousted are afraid that he is leading everyone into
too radical politics. They are afraid of students becoming too organized, too politically powerful. The dean
of students affairs office has a recent history of overturning decisions made by the ASI, decisions made by
the legal representaives of the students, and now they
are asking to be able to run the recall elections because
the League of Women's Voters has declined.
Apparently the administration and a handful of
racist students do not believe elections are not important if it mrons decisions will be made that go aganist
the grain of their own interests. We should all be happy
standing on the shores of our future, wekom'ing with
open arms the Columbian decisions they make on our
behalf.
LETI'ER from page 2
Asian brothers, am keenly aware of the significance
that education plays in the future of our communities. Education is not only our link to our past but
key to the economic and cultural survival of our
people's future. A man in chains armed with
knowledge can be free of mind and spirit. A
symbol of strength and character. A free man
chained by ignorance is void of history, powew.ess
in the present and has no place in the future. The
importance of education for all cannot be overstated. The absolute necessity of education for
Chicanos and minorities·is an absolute prerequisite
for our survival. I call on all students regardless of
race, color or economic background to raise your
voice in one united call to halt the increase of tuition
fees. Knowledge is the road to freedom. Let us
continue our journey.
Freedom; One Cause; One World.

•La Voz says, "Things that make you go hrnmmm?"
Dear Editor,
I would like to say something to all those Chicano and
Mexicano activists out there. The ones that seem to be
always saying the same old thing, that there is oppression, that our families struggling in the fields are
exploited by a society that is based on greed and
selfishness, a society that doesn't give a damn .ibout
the poor. To these people I would like to say that
though it may seem your cries for justice fall upon
deaf ears, there is someone that hears.
Christ promises us that you will be comforted; He
promises that your families will inherit the earth. I
want to encourage you to keep speaking for justice, for
the rights of the poor, to speak for those who have no
voice, for these are noble things.
. But also let me say, know the difference between
anger and hate. Know that we too are human and are
subject also to worldy desires, desires to be put above
others, desires to treat the oppressors as they have
treated us. Know that Christ hates the sin but loves
the sinner. Know that Christ loves you and died on
the cross for your sins.

agreed to support the Dinuba
boycott and some attended the
rally where Cesar Chavez was to
speak out on behalf of the parents,
students, and leaders.
The day following the Conference, many of the M.E.C.h.A
members made a trip to Dinuba.
Cesar Chavez spoke out against
the school board and the police
department injustices. He
emphasized the physical and
psychological abuse inflicted on
the Latino Commu{litJ" ~nd its
effects. Approximately 1,000
people showed up at the rally,
all ready to make a change in
their community.
The following weekend the
parent's committee, some
Dinuba students, and community le9ders drove down to
Southern California to meet
with Jesse Jackson. Mr. Jackson
was very supportive of the
actions the students had taken.
For example, he was pleased
with the boycott, and the
amount of effort the parents
along with the student~ were
putting into the boycott, in order
to get representation on the
school, city and hospital boards.
Much of the demonstrations
and marches in Dinuba have
ceased. But that doesn't mean
the community has quit. They
have started boycotting many
businesses that they feel have let
them down. This decision has
put more pressure ~m the school
board and other high ranking
• officials in Dinuba. You don't
hear much about Dinuba
anymore. Many believe it's over,
but our Raza isn't defeated yet.

Certain elements within the student body-those labeled racist because of their
political agenda- convinced a lot of gullible students last semester that ASI president
Andres Montoya hates all white people.
Those who gathered signatures for his recall stood out in front of the library
trying to convince passer-bys that he really hated whites, and only cared about Chicanos.
The only evidence they offered the students in exchange for their signatures is the "Go
Home, Whitey!" sign displayed at a Columbus Day rally last semester. They told people
and convinced the media that Montoya was responsible, although all he did was to attend
the rally: he didn't make the sign or hold it, and, in fact, didn't even know it was being
carried by a woman from the Valley who attends full-time here. She was shocked and
upset to discover the institutional racism at CSUF, a racism unrecognizable to most white
people, but recognized by peoples of color and some whites, most often, women.
The sign was made the night before when some Native American and Chic no
students organized a sign-ma~ing party. The artist, Daniel Chacon, drew a picture of a
ship sailing to shore where a group of natives stood. Historians know that Columbus
wrote in his journal how friendly the Indians were, how they welcomed their guests to the
shores and offered all the provisions they h..id, and thus were easy to kill and herd off into
slavery.
They were too friendly. Not in Chacon's picture. There the Indians were on
shore, but they waved their Brown fists in the air, angry, because they knew .what the
White man wanted. They yelled, "Go home, Whitey!"
They were all in a USU conference room. Montoya was down the hall in his office
talking to his friends Cyndi McCollister, Lawrence Tovar, and Lee Say Leng, whom jus~
came by to say hi.
The next morning the woman and other MEChA members went to get the signs
for the protest. She chose the "Go home, Whitey!" sign, not for the cartoon of the Indians
and Coh.1.mbus, but for the words on the sign. She was angry.
Some students who have a conservative political agenda, those called racist,
witnessed this Columbus Day protest and saw this woman carrying the sign. It was all
they needed to start calling Montoya a racist, even though he had nothing to do with it.
These same people running the recall, and the administration, were sµrprised
last year when it was announced that Montoya, a somewhat radical Chicano, won the
elections. The conservatives, who have been called racists by many, immediately talked
of a recall, even before Montoya occupied office; and it is no secret that the CSUF administration kept files on Montoya, and he was probably considered one of the "problems''
that in-coming CSUF president John Welty would have to deal with, in order to more
accurately reflect the interests of the CSUF Association.
Montoya is a member of Chicano organizations such as The Chicano WritersArtists Association and has been involved with the Chicano movement for many years.
He went through Summer Bridge, ate lunch in front of the Old Cafeteria, and was not a
member of a Fraternity, a business club, or an ultra-conservative organization like YAF,
which many have called racist.
He wasn't anything like the students who are used to winning the student
elections, so they had to get rid of him.
Certain students thought to be racists started telling everyone how racist
Montoya was, which translated meant he cared about the Chicano movement and is
committed. They attempted tohavethelargelywhiteASI senateofficiaIJyreprimand him.
But the senate didn't take these allegations seriously, and dismissed the notion.
So they got out a petition, gathered the signatures of every racist on campus, and
when that w~sn't enough to get a recall, they lied to people, in front of the library, in the
free speech area, in the classrooms and media.
There were over 1,000 signatures gathered for the recall. I refuse to believe that
all of them are signatures from racists, or that they are even from conservatives.:
Most people who signed the petition have been lied to. They do not understand
that there is a connection to Montoya's recall and the rise of hate literature on campus.
·
They do not know that the administration, that is, the dean of student affairs, all
the way up to the president's office, wants Montoya out. They are ~fraid of him, not
because they think he is a racist, but because they know he can organize students of all
colors effettively against decisions made for us by them. We need only to look at the
recent protest rally for the proposed 40% fee hike to see that Montoya is not concerned
with narrow issues that do not concern all students. He has helped to bring increased
library hours, has worked against tl\e administration to bring alternate food services to
campus, and has gotten students an increase in short-term loans.
Most of the students who marched to Welty's office after the protest Montoya
helped organize were white. Although Montoya and MEChA are the ones who are the
most visible in Tent City next to the library, many students from all backgrounds were

Staff writer
The 19th Annual Chicano Youth Conference (C.Y.C.)
was held at CSU, Fresno, on Jan. 18,1992. More than 50
schools and 1,880 students from around the State of California attended. The C.Y.C. is a M.E.C.h.A. sponsored event
which has earned a reputation as the largest and longest
running event of its kind in California. For 19 years,. members at the C.Y.C. committee have organized this program
and with much effort have been successful in reaching their
objective. Tne objective is designed to expose our Chicano i
a youths to the University in hopes that they will pursue a
higher education.
This year's.conference featured two keynote speakers:
Dr. Lea Ybarra and Jose Antonio Burciaga. Dr. Lea Ybarra
earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley and she is currently the Director of the
CSU,Fresno Faculty Mentoring Program. A former chairperson of the Chicano Latin-American Studies Department,
she has also gained world-wide recognition for her writings
about women and their status in society.

invloved in all aspects of the protest. Montoya works
for students.
The students and administrators who want Montoya ousted are afraid that he is leading everyone into
too radical politics. They are afraid of students becoming too organized, too politically powerful. The dean
of students affairs office has a recent history of overturning decisions made by the ASI, decisions made by
the legal representaives of the students, and now they
are asking to be able to run the recall elections because
the League of Women's Voters has declined.
Apparently the administration and a handful of
racist students do not believe elections are not important if it mrons decisions will be made that go aganist
the grain of their own interests. We should all be happy
standing on the shores of our future, wekom'ing with
open arms the Columbian decisions they make on our
behalf.
LETI'ER from page 2
Asian brothers, am keenly aware of the significance
that education plays in the future of our communities. Education is not only our link to our past but
key to the economic and cultural survival of our
people's future. A man in chains armed with
knowledge can be free of mind and spirit. A
symbol of strength and character. A free man
chained by ignorance is void of history, powew.ess
in the present and has no place in the future. The
importance of education for all cannot be overstated. The absolute necessity of education for
Chicanos and minorities·is an absolute prerequisite
for our survival. I call on all students regardless of
race, color or economic background to raise your
voice in one united call to halt the increase of tuition
fees. Knowledge is the road to freedom. Let us
continue our journey.
Freedom; One Cause; One World.

•La Voz says, "Things that make you go hrnmmm?"
Dear Editor,
I would like to say something to all those Chicano and
Mexicano activists out there. The ones that seem to be
always saying the same old thing, that there is oppression, that our families struggling in the fields are
exploited by a society that is based on greed and
selfishness, a society that doesn't give a damn .ibout
the poor. To these people I would like to say that
though it may seem your cries for justice fall upon
deaf ears, there is someone that hears.
Christ promises us that you will be comforted; He
promises that your families will inherit the earth. I
want to encourage you to keep speaking for justice, for
the rights of the poor, to speak for those who have no
voice, for these are noble things.
. But also let me say, know the difference between
anger and hate. Know that we too are human and are
subject also to worldy desires, desires to be put above
others, desires to treat the oppressors as they have
treated us. Know that Christ hates the sin but loves
the sinner. Know that Christ loves you and died on
the cross for your sins.

agreed to support the Dinuba
boycott and some attended the
rally where Cesar Chavez was to
speak out on behalf of the parents,
students, and leaders.
The day following the Conference, many of the M.E.C.h.A
members made a trip to Dinuba.
Cesar Chavez spoke out against
the school board and the police
department injustices. He
emphasized the physical and
psychological abuse inflicted on
the Latino Commu{litJ" ~nd its
effects. Approximately 1,000
people showed up at the rally,
all ready to make a change in
their community.
The following weekend the
parent's committee, some
Dinuba students, and community le9ders drove down to
Southern California to meet
with Jesse Jackson. Mr. Jackson
was very supportive of the
actions the students had taken.
For example, he was pleased
with the boycott, and the
amount of effort the parents
along with the student~ were
putting into the boycott, in order
to get representation on the
school, city and hospital boards.
Much of the demonstrations
and marches in Dinuba have
ceased. But that doesn't mean
the community has quit. They
have started boycotting many
businesses that they feel have let
them down. This decision has
put more pressure ~m the school
board and other high ranking
• officials in Dinuba. You don't
hear much about Dinuba
anymore. Many believe it's over,
but our Raza isn't defeated yet.

Certain elements within the student body-those labeled racist because of their
political agenda- convinced a lot of gullible students last semester that ASI president
Andres Montoya hates all white people.
Those who gathered signatures for his recall stood out in front of the library
trying to convince passer-bys that he really hated whites, and only cared about Chicanos.
The only evidence they offered the students in exchange for their signatures is the "Go
Home, Whitey!" sign displayed at a Columbus Day rally last semester. They told people
and convinced the media that Montoya was responsible, although all he did was to attend
the rally: he didn't make the sign or hold it, and, in fact, didn't even know it was being
carried by a woman from the Valley who attends full-time here. She was shocked and
upset to discover the institutional racism at CSUF, a racism unrecognizable to most white
people, but recognized by peoples of color and some whites, most often, women.
The sign was made the night before when some Native American and Chic no
students organized a sign-ma~ing party. The artist, Daniel Chacon, drew a picture of a
ship sailing to shore where a group of natives stood. Historians know that Columbus
wrote in his journal how friendly the Indians were, how they welcomed their guests to the
shores and offered all the provisions they h..id, and thus were easy to kill and herd off into
slavery.
They were too friendly. Not in Chacon's picture. There the Indians were on
shore, but they waved their Brown fists in the air, angry, because they knew .what the
White man wanted. They yelled, "Go home, Whitey!"
They were all in a USU conference room. Montoya was down the hall in his office
talking to his friends Cyndi McCollister, Lawrence Tovar, and Lee Say Leng, whom jus~
came by to say hi.
The next morning the woman and other MEChA members went to get the signs
for the protest. She chose the "Go home, Whitey!" sign, not for the cartoon of the Indians
and Coh.1.mbus, but for the words on the sign. She was angry.
Some students who have a conservative political agenda, those called racist,
witnessed this Columbus Day protest and saw this woman carrying the sign. It was all
they needed to start calling Montoya a racist, even though he had nothing to do with it.
These same people running the recall, and the administration, were sµrprised
last year when it was announced that Montoya, a somewhat radical Chicano, won the
elections. The conservatives, who have been called racists by many, immediately talked
of a recall, even before Montoya occupied office; and it is no secret that the CSUF administration kept files on Montoya, and he was probably considered one of the "problems''
that in-coming CSUF president John Welty would have to deal with, in order to more
accurately reflect the interests of the CSUF Association.
Montoya is a member of Chicano organizations such as The Chicano WritersArtists Association and has been involved with the Chicano movement for many years.
He went through Summer Bridge, ate lunch in front of the Old Cafeteria, and was not a
member of a Fraternity, a business club, or an ultra-conservative organization like YAF,
which many have called racist.
He wasn't anything like the students who are used to winning the student
elections, so they had to get rid of him.
Certain students thought to be racists started telling everyone how racist
Montoya was, which translated meant he cared about the Chicano movement and is
committed. They attempted tohavethelargelywhiteASI senateofficiaIJyreprimand him.
But the senate didn't take these allegations seriously, and dismissed the notion.
So they got out a petition, gathered the signatures of every racist on campus, and
when that w~sn't enough to get a recall, they lied to people, in front of the library, in the
free speech area, in the classrooms and media.
There were over 1,000 signatures gathered for the recall. I refuse to believe that
all of them are signatures from racists, or that they are even from conservatives.:
Most people who signed the petition have been lied to. They do not understand
that there is a connection to Montoya's recall and the rise of hate literature on campus.
·
They do not know that the administration, that is, the dean of student affairs, all
the way up to the president's office, wants Montoya out. They are ~fraid of him, not
because they think he is a racist, but because they know he can organize students of all
colors effettively against decisions made for us by them. We need only to look at the
recent protest rally for the proposed 40% fee hike to see that Montoya is not concerned
with narrow issues that do not concern all students. He has helped to bring increased
library hours, has worked against tl\e administration to bring alternate food services to
campus, and has gotten students an increase in short-term loans.
Most of the students who marched to Welty's office after the protest Montoya
helped organize were white. Although Montoya and MEChA are the ones who are the
most visible in Tent City next to the library, many students from all backgrounds were

The 19th Annual Chicano Youth Conference (C.Y.C.)
was held at CSU, Fresno, on Jan. 18,1992. More than 50
schools and 1,880 students from around the State of California attended. The C.Y.C. is a M.E.C.h.A. sponsored event
which has earned a reputation as the largest and longest
running event of its kind in California. For 19 years,. members at the C.Y.C. committee have organized this program
and with much effort have been successful in reaching their
objective. Tne objective is designed to expose our Chicano i
a youths to the University in hopes that they will pursue a
higher education.
This year's.conference featured two keynote speakers:
Dr. Lea Ybarra and Jose Antonio Burciaga. Dr. Lea Ybarra
earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley and she is currently the Director of the
CSU,Fresno Faculty Mentoring Program. A former chairperson of the Chicano Latin-American Studies Department,
she has also gained world-wide recognition for her writings
about women and their status in society.

too radical politics. They are afraid of students becoming too organized, too politically powerful. The dean
of students affairs office has a recent history of overturning decisions made by the ASI, decisions made by
the legal representaives of the students, and now they
are asking to be able to run the recall elections because
the League of Women's Voters has declined.
Apparently the administration and a handful of
racist students do not believe elections are not important if it mrons decisions will be made that go aganist
the grain of their own interests. We should all be happy
standing on the shores of our future, wekom'ing with
open arms the Columbian decisions they make on our
behalf.
LETI'ER from page 2
Asian brothers, am keenly aware of the significance
that education plays in the future of our communities. Education is not only our link to our past but
key to the economic and cultural survival of our
people's future. A man in chains armed with
knowledge can be free of mind and spirit. A
symbol of strength and character. A free man
chained by ignorance is void of history, powew.ess
in the present and has no place in the future. The
importance of education for all cannot be overstated. The absolute necessity of education for
Chicanos and minorities·is an absolute prerequisite
for our survival. I call on all students regardless of
race, color or economic background to raise your
voice in one united call to halt the increase of tuition
fees. Knowledge is the road to freedom. Let us
continue our journey.
Freedom; One Cause; One World.
Sincerely,
David Gomez

•La Voz says, "Things that make you go hrnmmm?"
Dear Editor,
I would like to say something to all those Chicano and
Mexicano activists out there. The ones that seem to be
always saying the same old thing, that there is oppression, that our families struggling in the fields are
exploited by a society that is based on greed and
selfishness, a society that doesn't give a damn .ibout
the poor. To these people I would like to say that
though it may seem your cries for justice fall upon
deaf ears, there is someone that hears.
Christ promises us that you will be comforted; He
promises that your families will inherit the earth. I
want to encourage you to keep speaking for justice, for
the rights of the poor, to speak for those who have no
voice, for these are noble things.
. But also let me say, know the difference between
anger and hate. Know that we too are human and are
subject also to worldy desires, desires to be put above
others, desires to treat the oppressors as they have
treated us. Know that Christ hates the sin but loves
the sinner. Know that Christ loves you and died on
the cross for your sins.

agreed to support the Dinuba
boycott and some attended the
rally where Cesar Chavez was to
speak out on behalf of the parents,
students, and leaders.
The day following the Conference, many of the M.E.C.h.A
members made a trip to Dinuba.
Cesar Chavez spoke out against
the school board and the police
department injustices. He
emphasized the physical and
psychological abuse inflicted on
the Latino Commu{litJ" ~nd its
effects. Approximately 1,000
people showed up at the rally,
all ready to make a change in
their community.
The following weekend the
parent's committee, some
Dinuba students, and community le9ders drove down to
Southern California to meet
with Jesse Jackson. Mr. Jackson
was very supportive of the
actions the students had taken.
For example, he was pleased
with the boycott, and the
amount of effort the parents
along with the student~ were
putting into the boycott, in order
to get representation on the
school, city and hospital boards.
Much of the demonstrations
and marches in Dinuba have
ceased. But that doesn't mean
the community has quit. They
have started boycotting many
businesses that they feel have let
them down. This decision has
put more pressure ~m the school
board and other high ranking
• officials in Dinuba. You don't
hear much about Dinuba
anymore. Many believe it's over,
but our Raza isn't defeated yet.
