MASO President Frank Guerrero assumes a casual posture at one of the club's rap sessions. Mexican American Student Organization Members: Frank Guerrero, president Efren Bracamonte, vice-president Ramona Jaime, secretary Veronica Gutierrez, treasurer Chino Barreras Teresa Conners Ron DeHaven Tessie Fernandez Luis Garcia Rose Mary Garcia Hector Leon Manuel Ortiz Hector Quijada Joe Rodriquez Linda Rojo Frank Vargas Ramona Jaime, Veronica Gutierrez, Manuel Ortiz and Rose Mary Gutierrez see the happier side. With much talk of farm workers uniting to form a union, Frank Guerrero, MASO's president,was asked how he felt about unionizing. He remarked, They def- initely need some sort of a union. They need it to gain the rights and privileges other unions now have. Frank commented, I have no definite figures, but the majority of farm labor is composed of Mexican-Ameri- can migrants followed closely by Negro people. If farm workers would strike, let's say if they were unionized, it would be similar to the lettuce boycott of 1968. This was felt nationally. Since no one bought lettuce it was shipped overseas. This is all good because itis a nonviolent yet effective way of showing the people in power that the workers mean business. Frank ended by saying, In,order for the worker to fare more successfully in the world, some sort of union- ization is going to have to be established so that they are not taken advantage of. 65

A host believe it 'is the answer to countless problems in education in the Southwest. Guadalupe Olivas, a teacher from the adjacent Mexican state of Sonora, remarked, We can help learners understand both languages. The Spanish speaker has trouble acquiring knowledge when it is all in English. So with this form of education we can help students better. Lupita plans to eventually teach in this country and she commented, Bilingual Educa- tion tries to teach in Spanish and uses English as a second lan- guage so that the child does not become frustrated when he is not able to learn in English. Also this way he does not fall behind in his subjects. As they grow up they can learn English, but they will not have lost the knowledge. They have more of an opportunity to learn English by playing, es- pecially with other children who speak it, she ended. clubs and organizations l'l d ' .,f:::- 1- l N t rs WMS' lu L ' HHLNL: - 'QQ 'QQ' f':'.lQ lf ' P: x ', 4 :a,f'7A55i T ' 'Q' 'Lf D l tg, , ,lg .xx A. 5 Six 1 2 ff. it 'll Nil t, P- ll ,,' -. 22 if ll ' ll ., -, --hai 2- A l, .flidiill gil - - . 1 - 5 . , E..--H ? ,. . 2 P'liZlt:i' We . ef t .L Frank Guerrero and Lupita Olivas discuss some Spanish literature before one of the club's sessions.

Each year a topic is chosen nationally for college debate teams to use for the year. This year's topic dealt with government surveillance of US citizens. Forensics President Louie Mallett stated, The US government has gone overboard in its gathering of information about citizens. When they do gather this information there is no way an individual can check to see if the information is correct. What we have then is often a dossier of misinformation. Louie added, However, I do believe a certain amount of informa- tion should be gathered for national security. , -Eiilu C952 , Don chuckles as Louie fantasies an area of analysis in a practice debate. clubs and organizations
