CRYSTAL CITY
LIVE:HIX Voting has been relatively heavy today as residents of Crystal City go to the polls in a School Board election that one candidate has called a test between the establishment and young Mexican- Americans. Among the three Mexican-Americans who make up one slate of candidates is 25-year-old Jose Gutierrez, a leader of the militant Mexican-American Youth Organization. The roots of the bitterly fought campaign go back to a 1963 election, when Mexican-Americans took over the City Council for the first time in history. More fuel was added late last year by !
a boycott of schools by Mexcican-American students.
