Super Barrio - a battle for immigrants, homeless and poor
Some may laugh at Super Barrio when he
comes to Fresno Friday, as was the case last
week when Los Angeles City Councemembers
saw him strutting dgnantty into their chambers.
But no sooner than ten minutes, in a short but
impassioned plea on behalf of Immigrants, did
those lawmakers see he was serious and worthy
enough to issue him a special commendation
lauefng Nm for his efforts on behalf of the
ctowrrhodden in society. This modern-day Robin
Hood from Mexico City, where he advocates on
behalf of the homeless and poor, Is in the U.S. to
bring attention to the plight of immigrants in
America See page 6 for a story about him and his
visit to this week as part of a three-week tour in the
Untted States.

A keynote address by Madera councilwoman Margaret
Medellin and nine workshops aimed at improving the
leadership skills of Chicano students on campus were pan of
the 1989 Chicano Student Leadership Conference held Feb. 10

The goal of the conference was to expose Chicano
students to issues that affect them on campus and in their
communities, according to Dr. Manuel Pefla, chair of the
conference organizing committee.
The conference was set as a class and students had the
option of attending for two units of college credit offered
through the Chicano-Latino Studies Program. Those who
wanted an A or B grade for the class were required to attend
both days" of the conference and three meetings of a student
organization.
Students were encouraged to stay with an organization
ihey liked and advance to a leadership position in that student
group.
Peoa said he hoped the practical experience gained from
that leadership role in addition to working with a mentor for
the remainder of the semester would help prepare the students
