tos de Santa Ana,” los cuales la man-
tendran henchida de gozo.
Sus colores son aquellos de los
verdes brotes de la primavera, la li-
beracion que nosotros intentamos ob-
tener. El bianco de la inocencia en
nuestras almas; la paz que nuestra
gente esta buscando. El rojo de los
fuegos de determinacion en nuestros
corazones; la sangre de nuestro pue-
blo derramada sobre esta tierra. En
el centre—en oro—aparecen los tres
rostros de la cabeza del mestizo,
simbolizando al conquistador espano1
a la derecha, al conquistado pueblo
Indio a la izquierda; en el medio
esta el resultado de la mezcla; no-
sotros: El Chicano. Esta figura
central esta blasonada por cinco ra-
yos (lanzas o llamas) de sol, los que
representan a los cinco estados que
ahora ocupan la nacion de Aztlan: Ari-
zona, California, Colorado, Nuevo
Mejico y Tejas.
Nosotros queremos nada menos que
libertad para nuestro pueblo que
esta sufriendo opresion bajo un sis-
tema decadante dirigido por unos
cuantos escogidos.
Once again the city of San Antonio
held the ’’world’s Largest Illuminated
Parade", but not without insulting the
minorities, especially the Chicanos.
One of the first sights was that of
no other, but Henry B., enjoying him-
self like a little boy in a candy
store. I couldn’t help but feel bad
to know that the Congressman had time
for the Fiesta Flambeau and the Irish
Parade but he could not find time for
the "Paseo de Marzo" and pay tribute
to the Chicano soldiers who have
fought and died for this country.
The parade organizers must have
gotten a big laugh of adding insult
to injury. They had the Fiesta Queen
riding on a big red, white and green
float. Remember the fiestas are to
celebrate San Jacinto Day.
Fort Sam Houston had a very charm-
ing float titled "Dream of Peace" I
don’t know if they’re on the level of
being sarcastic.
Only a couple of floats had black
girls as Queens. One of them from
Luling had a very beautiful black
girl to be___of all things..dig this
...Watermellon Queen.
A few Chicano organizations parti-
cipated in cars and floats. One of
them had a Rey and some beautiful
senoritas, others had the housewifes
in their floats, still others parti-
cipated on horseback. The floats and
horses were beautiful too bad they
were in the wrong celebration.
Thousands of people, most of them
Chicanos had the times of their lives
watching the parade and celebrating
Fiesta Week. I wonder if they knew |
what they were celebrating.
Tryouts were held in Pearsall,
Texas on April 15, 1973 for the Jun-
ior High All-Region Band (not Dis-
treit) with the results showing that
Crystal City, the school that is sup-
posedly providing a bad atmosphere
for education, placed 25 out of 100
(or 1/4) students on that band.
There were 386 students from 10 dif-
ferent schools trying out with the
25 from Crystal City being the highest
of any other school.
This once more indicates that Bi-
lingual -Bicultural education is pos-
sible, if only the powers-that-be
can demonstrate equal sensitivity
for culture other than the dominant
White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestants.
The following is a list of the
students that made the All-Region
Band: Diana Vargas, Consuelo Ramirez,
Elma Sendejo, Janie Guerrero, Mari-
sela Guzman, Hermelinda Vera, Elma
Rivera, Casey Stauber, Connie Rodri-
guez, Cindy Balderas, Yolanda Avila,
Belinda Flores, Melinda Pena, Celia
Lozando, Rusty Garza, Gerhardt Hon-
stein, Alicia Falcon, Roger Sepulve-
da, Luis Mata, Noe Faz, Ramiro
Rivera, Wille Guzman, Erasmo Ramon,
Henrietta Perez, and Diana?Gonzalez.

Constitutional Revision
^Committee Holds Hearings
SAN ANTONIO--The Constitutional Revi-
sion Committee held hearings in San
Antonio, May 4, at the V.I.P. Room
in the Convention Center.
The absence of minority speakers
was quickly noted as ranchers, uni-
versity professors and special interest
groups presented their ideas in what
the new constitution should contain.
One of the most colorful speakers
that addressed the Committee was
Miss Adela Navarro. Expressing concern I
over the committee’s lack of histo-
rical appreciation for the homestead
act which was introduced by her great
ancestor Jose Navarro, she volunteered
her assistance to the group.
Another speaker was Ms. Jo Ann
Gutierrez, well known welfare rights
advocate. She asked the Constitutional
Revision Committee to eliminate the
ceiling on welfare spending by the
state.
Martin Sada, Raza Unida candidate
for sheriff last fall, also spoke to
committee. He requested reform in the
present voter registration procedures.
