Tovars have contrasting approaches
Having two members of the Tovar fam¬
ily on the Associated Students Senate may
get confusing. One easy way of distin¬
guishing them is that Guadalupe is the
talkative one and Lawrence is the quiet
Guadalupe, recently appointed as sena¬
tor from the School of Education is the
father of Lawrence, senator At Large Post
4. They are believed to be the first father-
son senators at CSUF.
President Jeff Hansen said he had no
idea Guadalupe was Lawrence's father
;o the Senate.
Guadalupe and Lawrence Tovar have a
strikingly different manner at the Senate
meetings and even at their Fresno home.
For example, as they sat next to each
other at the kitchen table talking with a
reporter, Guadalupe was always the first
to answer a question addressed to both of
"I spent 20 years in the Navy, where
everything has to be instantaneous. I'm
not as fast as I used to be," Guadalupe
said.
But he does not fault Lawrence for
being quiet. "People say, 'You really have
to work at it to talk with your son.' And
I say. 'Well, what if he doesnt have any-

Senate meetings, Guadalupe has
probably said more at the three meetings
he has attended than Lawrence, who has
been at all six of them.
"I usually don't say anything unless I
see someone isn't going to say it," said
They may not express tbemselves in the
same way, but they claim to share many of
the same opinions. -^
"Lots of times well agree on something,
but it's just how to do it," Lawrence said.
"I'm really direct, real blunt. I cant see
beating around the bush. That way, every¬
one knows your position," Guadalupe
Guadalupe, a liberal studies major, has
taken a broad vision of what the Senate
should try to accomplish this year.
"There's 18 of us,"he said. "Ifwe are all
dedicated, imagine how many people we
can rub each day." He sees an important
duty of the Senate as being to set an
example to students and encourage stu¬
dents to accomplish goals.
Lawrence, on Ihe other hand, has two
very specific goals for ihe year: to help fill
any needs of the Campus Children's Cen¬
ter and the Tutorial Center.
Tbey wanted to be senators because
they both feel there are certain constituen¬
cies that need representation. Guadalupe
said he wanted to set an example to other
older students, to show that they too have
a place in siudent government.
At 44. Guadalupe is the oldest senator.
Lawrence, 20, is one of the youngest.

Lawrence, one quarter American Indian,
wants to recruit other Indians to CSUF.
He is president of the Indian Club on
campus and is in t raining no w to become a
student recruiter of Indians for Student
Affirmative Action. Lawrence said there
are 10,000 American Indians in the Fresno
area'. The Office of Institutional Research
reported there were 164 American Indian
students in fall of 1984. Figures fot this
semester were not yet available.
Guadalupe is Comanche Indian, Span¬
ish and Basque, and retains the chiseled
features and dark skin characteristic of
American Indians. His father was a full-
blooded Comanche.
Guadalupe married Pat, a Filipino
whom he met while stationed in the Phi¬
lippine Islands. Lawrenceisdark-skinned,
but has the softer features like his mother.
Pat and Guadalupe — she calls him
Lupe — have two other children besides
Lawrence: Stephanie, 17, and Terrence,
14. All the children were born in the
Philippines.
The family came back to the United
States sooner than planned because,
Guadalupe said he once missed his boat as
it left shore, and he was reassigned to
Fresno in 1972 to recruit for the Navy. He
actually had the choice of Hawaii or
Fresno, but chose Fresno because he
thought Hawaii would be too isolated.
They were in Fresno for a few years,
then moved to Colorado were Guadalupe
also recruited. Lawrence said he used to
tag along on some visits.
In 1978 he got out ofthe Navy because
of all of the moving around. "The kids,
they were already in high school. It's too
much to ask sometimes, so I got out,"

well/ he said. "Then when I felt 1/was
ready I started sending in my poems to
magazines to be published." He cited
Nobel-prize winning poet Pablo Neruda
and recognized poet Garcia Lorca as his
literary influences.
"Living Up the Street" was Soto's first
prose effort. "It feels good to get my first
prose published," Soto said. He has had
four poetry books published, "The Ele¬
ments of San Joaquin,""The Tale of Sun¬
light," "Where Sparrows Work Hard,"
and "Black Hair."
Soto prefers to write poetry. "I still like
poetry, that's what I usually write, but
there's a greater audience for prose," Soto
said. "You get more attention."
He enjoys attention. "I like winning
awards. I love attention,"he said. "I'm not
sure, but it probably comes from my
childhood and trying to be number one in
my mother's eyes. My brother is tbe same
way. He's a very successful advertiser in
Soto is a tenured faculty member ofthe
University of California, Berkeley. He
teaches Chicano Studies and English, gives
readings "all over California," and does
martial arts for a hobby.
He usually writes during the summer
and during December, when he isn't
teaching. "I just tit down and write what I
have to write," he said. "Most of the stuff
has to do with tbe past, but some has to do
wilh the present."
He said that his life now gives him pos¬
sibilities for a future book. "Yeah, I'm
going to laugh," he said. "I'm having a
good time."
Soto has a book coming out in the
Spring titled "Small Faces." "It's a book
of little essays about marriage, father¬
hood, adultery, and being Catholic," he
