generally     seemed    confused.
Later I realized that these Chl¬
canos  and Chlcanas  were lost.
By lost, l don't mean that they
didn't know where they were, but
actually   they   didn't knpw who
Chlcanas come to what formerly
was a typical white Anglo insti¬
tution.  These  people are faced
with   a   new   environment,  new
situation,   and   quite  frankly,   a
lot  of these people don't reallv

lem and they later will tend to get

wanting   to   associate   with  the
more involved Chlcanos.
What I  would like to suggest
is that we try and make a serious
effort to communicate with these
new   students   before   they   get
swallowed up by the ever-present
white Anglo  norms  and  start
thinking they are white. I believe
that we should help our brothers
and sisters find- themselves be¬
fore tbey are completely lost.
I believe that we, as Chlcanos
who have attended this institute
betore, have an obligationtoseek
out, meet and talk with tbe many-
new Chlcanos on campus. I sug¬
gest that we tnvlte them to have
a -cup of coffee with us, or at¬
tend a MECHA meeting. If you
would like,  bow about  Showing

But e
port of la causa there was a
feeling, or at least an atmosphere
of uncertainty as to what to do
next. Now what?
The Union, throughChavez,had
seemingly placed all its cards on
the table with the UFW's chal¬
lenge to the Gallos to have an
election among the workers tosee
what union they wanted.AS1 mil¬
lion bond had been offered as a
sign of good faith.,
The crowd of 17,000 plus (cal¬
culated according to a two and a
half mile long line and figuring
It to be at least four persons
abreast, three feet apart) had
marched that-morning. The ex¬
citement of realizing the number
or people present, as the first
marchers watted for more than an
hour for the rest to arrive at the
park, buoyed the spirits.
The peaceful procession lent
credence to the UFW philosophy
of non-violence. Yet, the possi¬
bility or, and the potential for,
violence  had  to be tn people's
gun-toting motorcycle cops as
they directed the heaviest traf¬
fic   ln Modesto's history.
It seemed to manifest Itself In
the red faces of many Irate
motorists who had lo walk for the
marchers to cross their Inter¬
section. Or, perhaps, ln the
thoughts ot the pilots tn the heli¬
copter and plane hovering above
the entire rally.
Violence could have been real¬
ized If the anxiety for action by
the people had been exploited. But

stay in Modesto "for an eternity*
