Cisneros
to speak
at Racial
Harmony
Conference
By James Carrasco
StaffWriter
Mayor Henry Cisneros of San
Antonio, Texas and Dr. Reginald
Wilson, Director of the Office of
Minority Concerns, will be the guest
speakers at CSUF March 16 and 17, as
part of a conference designed to improve
race relations in the academic
community.
The conference, "Promoting Racial
Harmony In Academe...For The
Common Good" will strive to bring
together educational administrators,
faculty, staff, students, community
leaders and the general public.
Since California's ethnic minorities
will surpass the majority population,
according to a brochure released by the
Affirmative Action Services, it will be
necessary to seriously consider
educational and racial policy goals for the
future.
Cisneros, who was elected Mayor of
San Antonio in April 1981, has been an
assistant to the Secretary of Health,
Education, and Welfare in Washington,
D.C. and has assisted the executice vice

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 Councilmembers
saw him strutting dignantly 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
lauding Mm for his efforts on behalf of the
downtrodden 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
United States.
Tomorrows leaders
CSUF students get leadership training
By Chris Heredia
Assistant Editor
A keynote address by Madera councilwoman Margaret
Medellin and nine workshops aimed at improving the
leadership skills of Chicano students on campus were part of
the 1989 Chicano Student Leadership Conference held Feb. 10
and 11 at CSUF.
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 Pefta, 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
they liked and advance to a leadership position in that student
group.
Pefla 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
