SANTA BARBARA. CA (College
Press Service) — The once heady campus
boycott of Coors beer went a little flatter
last week as the University of California-
Santa Barbara's student government voted to let the beer back on its campus
Two weeks before that. Cal State-Long
Beach students dropped their boycott of
Coors products.
But the boycott is still on at some campuses and in many communitites. stresses
David Sickler, who coordinates boycott
activities-"from the AFL-CIO. Los Angeles office.
"Nothing's   ' 	
posed punishments of anti-war students
and his efforts to control the campus'
speaker program.
Coors was then a university regent.
The boycott broadened into a nation-
"I hey wine and dine them
and feed them a bunch of
bullshit.'
"We've found that at a lot of schools, no
one really knew why they were boycotting
us," he says. "All the information they got
was from anti-Coors organizations."
Since 1979, Coors has been sending
officials to boycotting campuses, flying
student politicians to the Golden brewery
for tours, and paying to stage campus-
wide events at schools that agree to drop

But San Diego State. UCLA and Cal-
Berkeley are "the only ones we know of
still boycotting us." says John Meadows,
a Coors spokesman in Golden. Co.
The boycott began in 1968 as a University of Colorado student protest against
wide labor issue when an AFL-CIO union
lost a strike at Coors over alleged company discrimination against women and
minorities, and Coors' insistence that all
employees lake lie detector tests.
But "from what we've seen, it wa_
determined the boycott was no longer

personally come out and said 'thanks a
lot,' " Moors says. The company is now
"sponsoring some comedy nights and
things down at the student pub."
"They wine and dine them and feed
them a bunch of bullshit," Sickler charges.
"Coors has campus reps lobby to get
money accepted" by the schools.
The tactic seems to work. Asked if
Meadows' estimate that only three colleges maintain boycotts, Sickler says,
"there could be more. I'm not sure."

'Mini Corp' program seeks participants
Ay Cm Viofl <__""
Staff writer
Students majoring in education and
health related fields are needed to participate in a statewide summer "Mini Corp"
program, according to coordinator Manuel
The federally funded program places
selected students in migrant area schools
for the summer,,said Sanchez.
"Our goals are to serve the migrant
children since our funds are part of the
migrant education budget and to train
competent bilingual teachers," said Sanchez, who was a Mini Corp student in
1969.
There is a year-round program as well
as a separate summerprogram. The summer program lasts from six to seven weeks
and studentt receive $160 stipend every
two weeks. The office, according to Sanchez, is in the process of setting up the
summer program.
"We are looking for selective students',"
Sanchez said. "WeYe looking for students
who are going into'education; students
who want to return to work in migrant
communities. Students mutt be full-time
studentt with at least 12 units. They must
be bilingual in the dominant language,
which in this case, Spanish."
Students should be professional students wti9 have at least a 2.0 grade point
average, said Sanchez. He said he feels the
program has become more academically
oriented since his involvement IS years
Interested students should pick up appli
cations in the HEP office. /
After the applications are reviewed by a
panel in Sacramento, said Sanchez, student! will be selected for interviews and
from the interviews, the final selection will
Basically, the first-year Mini Corp students are placed at various locations in
California with a group.of experienced
students near the school, said Sanchez.
"The program provides housing and
utilities," said Sanchez. "The only things
the student is responsible for are getting
there (to the placement) and their own
CSUF is one of the target! recruiting
areas, according to Sanchez, who believes
this is because a large number of minority
populations go into the education program.

utes' is by no means the gospel about
Coors," said MEChA member Ernesto
Martinez. They^e very selective of the people
chosen to interview."
"Thc '60 minutes' program has a tendency to pinpoint established Hispanics,
Chicanos who don't speak for the majority: the Chicanos that have 'made it,'so to
speak," said Martinez, who is alsp the La
Raza department chairman.
Another issue that concerns the Chicano campus group is the "ultra right-
wing" political persuasion of the Coors
Chacon said Coors is affiliated with the
Heritage Foundation, which is, he said, "a
think-tank for conservatives that targets
liberals. Coors gave a donation of $200,000
to start it and $20,000 a month to main-
"They are also connected with the John
Birch Society,"Chacon said, "a conservative organization of businessmen, politicians, the extremely rich and powerful."
He said Joseph Coors is a member of
President Ronald Reagan's "kitchen cabinet "and is up for approval as an advisor
to Reagan. William Coon is a public relations man, Chacon said. "He tries to
sugarcoat their image."
"60 Minutes" reported that the Coors
' ers insist it is their right to support
whatever causes they see fit.
Chacon says Coors also tries to discredit politicians that support Chicanos, it
hires to break unions, allows illegal
searches and seizures, and administers a
A Coors spy attended a M EChA meeting and reported back to Golden, Colo.,
on their boycott strategies, according to
Chacon. Schwalback was the Coors representative at the meeting, and he says he
did not give any information to the company about the meeting.
"1 didn't go in as a spy," Schwalback
said. "I walked in as a student. IVe gone to
more than one of their meetings — that
was the only one where they recognized
"It just so happened when I went in
there that week, it was two weeks before
we were going to have that Tierra thing in
town," said Schwalback, referring to a
concert to-be held at the Fresno County
Fair last September by the Chicano rock-
group "Tierra," which is sponsored by
"They (Tierra)are selling out," Chacon
said. "Anybody that's associated with
Coors, we're going to go after."   .
MEChA picketed the event and sent a
letter to Mayor Dan Whiteh'urst, outlining their reasons for boycotting Coors and
asking hint not to participate in the event
or give the group the key to the city.
Whitehursi did participate and he gave
the kev to Tierra.
"MEChA is the only organization that
will not sit down and speak with Coors on
theirgreivances," Schwalback said. "Their
main goal is not for a change in policy in
Coors. but for the destruction or downfall
of the Coors Co. or the Coors family.
Personally, if I didn't like thc way a company or some other organization was running its business, I don't think f would go
for destruction, 1 would actually try to get
changes made in the company."
Boycotting the products of the Coors
Co. is the only way to demonstrate their
opposition to the company's policies and
ideologies, Chacon said. "We don't have
major lobbyists, we don . have corporations. The only thing we have is withholding our purchase dollar. That's why boycotts are so important to blacks, chicanos,
and other minorities."
MEChA member John Palafox said

Tbe M ini Corp program, with HI inception in 1967, preceded the bilingual and
the La Raza programs.
The program provides students with
teaching experience. Sometimes, students
come out of the programs with six to
seven semesters teaching experience," he
taid.
"1 feel that if 1 made it as a teacher, it
was because of the program," said Sanchez. "In many schools, there are many
ex-Mini Corps teachers."
Sanchez taid he bclievet not only did be
receive quality training for teaching but
the grant (stipend) and the experience to
get a foot in the door of the job market are
what makes: the program worthwhile.
All the students hired for the summer
will attend a statewide conference May
25-27 here i n Fresno. The three day workshop will aid in helping students get ready
