To celebrate Latino Awareness Week, a mariachis band performed in the Quad last Tuesday, the
group was sponsored by the MEChA club. "Los Magos" will be performing today at noon intheQuad.
Cinco de Mayo
Almost 130 years ago in a town called Puebla, a
small Mexican army consisting of mostly peasants,
defeated sophiscated French troops, as they tried to
conquer Mexico. Each year this event is celebrated
on May 5, which is better known as Cinco de Mayo.
“In the past, Mexicans were not allowed to cele¬
brate their culture. However, now it is our responsi¬
bility as Chicano’s, to bring out our culture,” said
Omar Soliz, 22, vice president of Movimiento Estu-
diantil Chicano de Azlan (MEChA) club and he is
majoring in Chicano Studies.
“It is important that we take pride in identifying
ourselves as Mexicans and knowing that we lived on
this land before anglos,” Soliz said.
Soliz will be one of the many who attend the state¬
wide MEChA conference this weekend, in Fresno.
“During this conference, we will be addressing issues
such as United Farm Workers, political empower¬
ment, education and immigrants from South and
Central America.
"I think the two hottest issues we will be dealing
with are the immigrants from South and Central
America. These people are important to us because
we consider them our brothers and sisters. We are also
concerned about how Wilson's proposed budget cut¬
backs will effect Latino's," Soliz Said.
Police brutality hits home for student
By CHRIS LANGREHR
Staff Writer
Kathy Dunkly, PCC student whose son Bryant Allen
Allen, who was with Rodney King when he was beaten,
discussed the incident at an International Committee
Against Racism (INCAR) meeting last week, saying her
son was also beaten that night by police.
While King was being beaten, Allen noticed a person
filming the incident with a video camera, Dunkly said.
Before the video was released, Dunkly’s daughter con¬
tacted the Star News. “They were not interested in the
case. They did not want to get involved,” She said.
The police had stopped her son many times in the past
for no reason and asked for evidence of having car
insurance, she said.
When Dunkly first came to LA, She was unfamiliar
with the freeways. One day, she got lost and was circling
around San Marino. The police kept stopping her that
day. Finally, they threatened to take her to jail if they saw
her in that area again, she said.
“We are not going to let this incident die down. It’s
not just one incident,” said Terry Leveque, an INCAR
leader. She continued to say her brother is on the police
force and he has seen first hand evidence of institutional
racism. She added that the Rodney King incident is
hurting the entire Los Angeles police department .

Faculty, administrators
clash over computers
By CANDY DANIELSON
Staff Writer
A faculty member charged during a recent Faculty Senate
meeting that since only one faculty member is on the Campus
Computer Committee (CCC), administrators have run the show for
the last 18 months on the distribution of computer funds and
placement of computers.
The instructor alleged that because administrators outnumber
teachers on the CCC, faculty have lagged behind as the last
segment slated for computers.
4 ‘We would like equal representation on theComputerCommit-
tee,” shouted a faculty member from the back of the room. “Ihave
known what the request has been; perhaps there is some middle
ground there,” replied Dr. James Kossler, assistant superintendent
of administrative services.
Kossler and Dr. William E. Goldmann, dean of educational
services, were present to address faculty questions which focused
on computers such as who gets them, when, how many and the
criteria for computer expenditures.
Questions and demands from faculty shot out at Kossler in a
steady stream. ‘ ‘How can PCC faculty compete with other schools
when they have been left out. Faculty needs computers,’ ’ someone
said. “A lot of computer decisions have been made on the admin¬
istrative level, and we need to have more input,” was another
complaint. “You need to sit down with faculty members. Y ou don’t
just present it to us, you work with us,” someone else said.
