··,

Two years ago on January 29, Black Berets Rito Canales and Antonio Cordova were killed by seven city, state and county police while attempting to steal dynamite from a Wylie Brothers construction' site on Black Mesa south of Albuquerque.'

A week before, dynamite was stolen from the same site. After the Canales-Cordova killings the dynamite was found at Black Beret headquarters in Albuquerque. The serial numbers matched with a Jist of the dynamite that was stolen from Wylie's.

Thi• January an Albuquerque jury found all seven officers in' the stakeout innocent of charges that they used excessive force in apprehending Canales.

The . charges were filed by Canales' brother through attorney Anthony Lucero. Lucero was working with the organization La Defense Chicana Legal.

Lucero's case was based on several claims: Canales' gun was never found. ·

' The ·police had a back-up unit at the bottom of the mesa which· could have been contacted to head-off Canales instead of shooting him,

Canales was killed while craw line froln police at a distance of 150 yards.

Even if Canales had a gun (police said it was a .45 pistol), the accuracy at 150 yards is so poor that the police were in no danger. ·

There was a third man on the mesa with Canales and Cordova. Although this third man shows up in police testimony his identity is not explained.

The main access road to the mesa-a Wylie

Even if Canales had a gun, the accuracy at 150 yards is so poor that thl! police were in no danger.

employee testified that it was the shortest, most direct route-was left unguarded.

In this analysis the theory that the third man was a state police informer is explored. So is the poBBibJiity that Canales was stealing dynamite not for revolutionary activities but for bombing bars.

The mysterious third man with Black Berets Rito Canales and Antonio Cordova when they were shot to death by police on Black Mesa was a state police informer, Anthony Lucero, attorney for La Defense Chicana Legal said in a Lobo interview shortly after the trial.

Lucero said this explains why police left the main access road to the mesa unguarded-even. after a four·and·a·half-hour surveillance by city detectives Jose Salazar and Riolino Polio. The informer, Lucero said, could have been allowed to escape from the scene.

Lucero thinks that Salazar and maybe Polio were the only officers except for state police intelligence who knew about the informer. According to police testimony, Salazar. identified Canales on the mesa.

Since Rito Canales apparently was involved in at least one bar bombing before the Black Mesa incident, it is possible that the informer could have been too. The police might have had a jacket

By George Johnson (dossier) on him. They could have used it to get him to snitch on Canales. ,

Because of Canales' revolutionary and Black Beret connections, people forget that two years ago-after the stakeout-Kirby Perry testified under oath that he worked with Canales in the firebombing of Leo's La Roc, a Central Avenue bar. Perry testified that Canales put the bomb on the roof of the La Roc. Perry was sentenced to two to ten years for arson. ·

In a separate case Milton Robbins, manager of the Jack's and Queen's Lounge, was sent to federal prison for possession of explosives, During the trial one of Robbin's employees, Dean Barbour, testified that Robbins hired him (Barbour) to bomb several bars.

The Jack's and Queen's t.ounge has been known to be frequented by Black Berets, so Canales could

conceivably have known Robbins. Since detectives Salazar and Polio-the officers

who did the pre·stakeout surveillance-were working on the Robbins case, they would be in a position to find an informer who knew Canales. And since they surveyed the mesa they would know the area and the access roads.

Lucero said Salazar and Polio have worked with state police before. He thinks the deal with the informer was engineered by the state police who organized the stakeout.

Working with informers is common police activity. If Canales had been and arrested and not killed speculation would end here.

But there is the possibility that Canales could have been stealing dynamite for :whoever was responsible for a rash of bar bombings then.

Since the police needed concrete evidence they could have let Canales and Cordova steal dynamite from the site a week earlier. The New Mexico Review of March 1972 reported that Mike Wylie Jr. of Wylie Brothers and Wylie Brothers blasting foreman, R. W. Cochran, said police told them they knew dynamite would be stolen (the first time) but they would not try to prevent the theft.

Cochran said the police told him they wanted to protect their informer.

When the informer tipped them off that there would be a second burglary, police staked out the site. The resulting gunfire left Canales dead and the third man missing.

Then police raided Black Beret headquarters and seized the dynamite from the first theft.

But Black Berets headquarters was searched with a warrant that was later ruled illegal. That's the snag in what, otherwise seems like an ordinary informer story: the police didn't ask for a warrant to search for dynamite, but for narcotics-and the only evidence they cited for narcotics traffic at the headquarters was that people came in and out of the

, house at late hours.

Since the police needed concrete evidence they could have let them steal dynamite a week earlier.

If the informer deal was simply to arrest a man who was bombing bars, why didn't the secrecy stop after Canales was dead? Why didn't police tell thr judge why they had cause to think the dynamite was at Black Beret headquarters?

Canales and Cordova were scheduled to appear on television the evening they were killed to talk about prison conditions and police brutality.

Two grand juries and an Albuquerque jury have found the officers in the stakeout innocent of using excessive force in the Canales·Cordova killings. But in none of the three cases was conspiracy seriously considered.

If there was an informer, and the police worknd with him to arrest a man for bombing bars, then there is nothing further to investigate-assuming that the police did not use excessive force and were acting to protect their lives.

If the inform«!r deal was engineered to get Canales on the mesa to kill him, then conspiracy should be seriously considered.

Lucero's charges that excessive force was used should be reexamined in light of the possibility of an informer deal. Police motives sho.uld be examined.

it. When I see a Navajo woman working real hard, I am proud. I'll take the Navajo women any day over the fragile white woman," he said.

Other local leaders spoke on tribal government problems, and problems the Dineh encounter with the current effort of major industries to strip mine coal or mine uranium.

In Burnham on the Navajo Nation, El Paso Natural Gas and Western Gasification Company (WESCO) are planning to strip mine huge areas "in order to alleviate the energy crisis.

,"What isn't said," commented a Navajo youth, "is that it is on Indian. land and at the expense of Indian people."

A key speaker, Fred Johnson, working with the DNA legal services, spoke on the need for Indian awareness of Indian problems, particularly in the area of human rights for Indians in jails and on the reservation.

"I'll make every effort to control my life as a free man. I believe Larry Casuse and Robert Nakaidinae are strong and. they did what they thought needed to be done. T,hey were lied to, cheated by the oppressor and were pushed too far over the tine. We should make .l!f!l. better, not miserable, for our

children," Johnson said. "A lot of people were satisfied when they heard

ot Larry's death, but that will never happen with me. Larry Casuse did not fail, but he was failed by the people in Gallup."

Mariam Crawford, Navajo from Tuba City, ' Arizona, spoke against the "injustices that the white people are doing to us.

"Without our land and our water, we cannot live. The Tuscon Gas and Electric Company (TG&E) tried to build a powerline right. through our land at Manuelito Canyon (Ariz.). I told them, 'You are not going to build anything here. I don't care if you' send me a truck full of money, you will not take our land.'"

Craylford was a major influence .in her community's decision not to lease right·of·Way land at Manuelito Canyon "for a handful of money" about two years ago. ~

Commenting on the problems she encountered while attempting to stop the land leasing on the reservation, she said, "The American people are just now waking up to the kind of government they (white people) have, like Watergate and all the cover up. We Indians have known that for a long time.''

Several other speakers noted their own problems

they encountered. Tom Shirley of Lupton, Arizona, was recently voted in by a strong Navajo vote in an Apache county board of supervisors •. After allegations from the non-Indian community in September 1973 that the vote was illegal, Shirley took the case to a district court and won.

"I feel I was denied the office because of my race. This meant not only myself, but the Indian people," he said. Shirley spoke of the need to approach problems "with non-violence.''

"I felt good after the meeting was over," said Fred Martinez, Tewa-Navajo student at UNM.

"I only hope next time the official tribal leaders could be there."

Martinez was referring to the apparent lack of Navajo tribal leaders at the meeting.

John Redhouse, Navajo of the Kiva Club, said the cross-section of participants was very good.

"There were activists, militants, students1 parents! children at the meeting, all with a common cause. But I'm disappointed with Gallup mayor Sam Ray for not showing up for the meeting,, after he had accepted a speaking invitation, especially after he spoke so much about the need for communication between Indians and Gallup."

The Kiva Club is planning a newsletter with minutes of the gathering to be sent reservation-wide.

~\f Cleaning House At ASUNM

PREDATOR CONTROL

We doubt if the proposed a_mendments to the ASUNM Constitution will attract much attention from the student body, and for many understandable reasons. Many students don't care what the ASUNM senators do. But there are some amendments that could possibly make student government more realistic and workable.

We support the idea of lowering the number of credit hours required from the current 75 to 45 for those interested in running for student body president. The current president and orie before him were not undergraduates when elected. Jack O'Guinn was a graduate student and Ross Perkal is a law student. ASUNM is an undergraduate organization and should be run by undergraduates.

We also support the lowering of the number of senators required for a quorum from three-fourths to two-thirds. Last year five senators quit, and as a result the senate sat idle d_ue to the absence of one senator. We also agree with senator Louis Tempkin's proposal that any senator missing three consecutive meeting~ get the boot.

The constitutional amendments could have the power to straighten out many of the· senseless inefficiencies that now exist in student government. But we wonder if anyone really cares.

A Modest Proposal Upon reading the tally of votes turned in for

Tuesday's special city charter revision election, I was amazed at the voter turnout. Such apathy towarcfs civic responsibility is dangerous and uncalled for.

But there is one way to use this all-out, non-committal attitude for our benefit and political strength.

First of all, the voter turnout was approximately 24,000, a bit more than the UNM student body. The political apathy will probably not abate before the mayorial election in May. This brings me to the point that the university could possibly mobilize and unite and put our own person (man or woman) in the mayor's office and any position down the line.

The number of students registered in Albuquerue is I'm sure a large enough percentage to swing an election our way. Think about the infamous group that applies for New Mexico residency for lower tuition benefits and never vote I

Let's take the initiative like Berkeley and Ann Arbor and put a student or anyone of our choice in office. The possibilities are limitless. Why fight city hall when we can be city hall?

Senseless Vandalism Recently, a sculptural piece done by the members

of an Art Education class was visciously attacked and destroyed. The Women's Lib symbol had been painted in red on the pieces that were . not

·annihilated, and we assume that the destruction was done by ~ Women's Liberation group. Admittedly, the piece was on a controversial subject. It was made by students to learn how to use paper mache. We decided to do a social and religious satire to give some meaning to our work.

The point we wish to make is not in defense of the piece, but an objection to the malicious vandalism which destroyed the work of students who were serious about their intentions. There are many mature ways to call attention to a controversial situation. Vandalism is not one. The students of Art Education 211 would have been more than willing to discuss the situation with anyone who found the piece offensive. If we had been aware that it had been causing so much intense anxiety, we would even have considered removing it.

We have not only lost a chance for meaningful dialogue which would have been profitable to all involved, but we have also lost respect for the group which was responsible for destroying our work.

New Gradi_ng Proposal Isn't As Bad As Some Say The arguments of some faculty and students

against the new proposed undP.rgraduate grading system have been disturbing. As a student member of the Grading Concerns Committee, I am quick to admit that the new proposal is far from a perfect means of student evaluation. It is also not radically different from the present grading system as the complaints against it would leave one to believe. Yet as a compromise proposal it offers the student significant changes in order to make more viable alternatives in structuring their education. In this letter, I would like to answer the major complaints against the proposal.

evil.'' (I'm sure you've heard all the rest.) It is always consoling for me to know that so many professors are concerned about my failures.

The "No Entry" would therefore be more advantageous than the F grade. If a student receives "No Entry'' in a course, retakes the course and does better the second time, the gr;lde which more accurately reflects his knowledge will be recorded. In addition the replacement of the F by the "No Entry" allows the student to explore new possibilities in his education without fear of penalty. This would also be the case for Option II of the proposal (Credit/No Entry) where students would be less inhibited taking courses, especially those outside his major, he might not otherwise take,

is; Instead of worrying about the grading proposal lowering the university's standards it might well be more worthwhile for faculty members to improve their own standards of teaching.

Unfortunately, one very important change often overlooked in the new proposal is the change of the interpretation of the C grade from meaning "average" to meaning "satisfactory." This change is important for both students and teachers. With the elimination of the F grade the teacher can truly expect "satisfactory" work for a C, thus making the grade more meaningfuL For the student, it will help to remove competition as well as keeping the .student from being just another point on a curve.

Among students, the major objection seems to be that if adopted, the new grading system would make it more difficult for UNM graduates to get into other professional and graduate schools. For these students it would be advisable to take courses under Option I of the new proposal. Option I is essentially the same as our present grading system of A,. 8, C and D grades; with the exception of "No Entry" feplacing the F grade.

It has been suggested that the new grading system would tend to lower the academic image. and standards of the University in relation to other schools throughout the United States. Though I do not believe this to be the case, the suggestion ·remains an important one to consider for it directs attention at what the priml!ry purpose of UNM should be: whether it will try to be an Ivy League competitor attempting to recruit the "l.igh academic" student; or because of its locational opportunities will it play a more 'important role of serving as a center of learning, trying to meet the, needs of the student no matter what his ACT score

A final argument against the grading proposal is the one which says that the Credit/No Entry option will make the grade point average meaningless. The rationale for this, often stated in its most extreme form is: A student could ace one course on the A, B, C, D, No Entry option and then take the rest of his courses under the Credit/No Entry option (which would not be computed into his GPA) With that one A though, he could theoretically graduate with a perfect 4.0 average. This is precisely true. However, my only response to this is that anyone who would go through four to five years of college merely to get a 4.0 average, most certainly deserves it.

. ' Eliminating the F grade has appeared to be the

crux of argument received from faculty members. The reasons for maintaining the F are the usual: "I give the F for the good ot the student," "the F gets the student in line, it's therapeutic," "the F is the only way we can separate the good from the bad apples," or "I don't like the F, but it's a necessary David Downs

Joni ffiitchell Is music

by Charles Andrews

Like a kid in a candy store. That's how Albuquerque music

freaks should feel during March and the first week of April as they ponder which of 11 shows to blow their ears, time, and money on.

Here's the Jist (the first one you've already missed): Mar. 1/Civic Auditorium/Billy Preston ($5 advance/$5.50 at the door) Mar. 5-9/Cabaret L9unge (Hilton Inn)/David Steinberg and David Clayton-Thomas ($7.50 cover charge Fri. & Sat./$5 cover other nights) Mar. 7 /Johnson Gym/Joni Mitchell ($6 & $5 general admission/$5 & $4 UNM students/$4 behind the _stage) Mar. 9/Civic/Siy & the Family Stone ($4.50 advance/$5.50 door) Mar. 10/First United Methodist Church/E. Power Biggs ($3) Mar. 12/University Arena/Yes ($6 & $5 general/$5 & $4 UNM/$4 behind stage) Mar. 16/Civic/Tower of Power and Cheech & Chong ($4.50 advance/$5.50 door) Mar. 30/Civic/Dr. John and Buddy Miles Express ($5 advance/$5.50 door) Apr. 2/ Arena/Deep Purple, Savoy Brown, and Tucky Buzzard ($6 & $5 gneeral/$5 & $4 UNM/$4 behind stage) Apr. 3/Civic/Ravi Shankar ($6.50, $5.50, $4.50/$1 student discount) Apr. 5/Civic/Kris Kristofferson ($6 floor/$5 general)

My recommendations would run this way: Don't miss Yes; try real hard to catch Joni. Mitchell, Ravi Shankar (if you've never seen him before), and Randy Newman; Tower of Power, E. Power Biggs, and Dr. John are all excellent; the Kris Kristofferson, Eagles, and David Steinberg shows could be quite enjoyable; the others I can easily do without.

"'"'"' There was no news story

Monday about last Friday's PEC meeting, because it was a bit drifty and the results somewhat ambiguous. But here's about what happened:

A concert featuring the Eagles, for Popejoy Hall Apr. 15 or 17, was given approval, which was changed ·to tentative approval depending on what band would share the bill with them. The committee voiced a preference for the earlier date.

There had been two -offers for a Steve Miller concert, May 20 or some date between May 21-27. The committee approved it, even though resigned chairperson Paul Richardson had informed them eariler in the meeting that getting the Arena between May 15 and June 5 would be almost impossible. When remind!!d oJ that, the vote was changed to a Yes-if Johnson Gym can be obtaiMd.

of the following performers: Doug Kershaw, Randy Newman, Tracy Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker. PEC rejected ELO in favor of Kershaw and Newman (the best choice they coule have made, I think), but then amazingly delaye.d approval for at least a week because of some imagined interference· with Fiesta. PEC member Steve Schroeder pointed out t-hat Fiesta is tentatively scheduled for Apr. 24-27, and he said he didn't want to take a chance on jeopardizing the future of all PEC concerts in Popejoy Hall by risking damage to the concert hall by rowdy Fiesta revelers. The other committee members agreed, and they tabled . the proposal.

I'm glad Schroeder, at least, is trying to take all factors into consideration. But I can't buy his reasoning. In the first place, it may be several )J.IIe<.>ks. before the Fiesta people come up with firm dates for the annual bash. Even if it does turn out to be Apr. 24-27, the 28th is a Sunday. That's the least likely day for people to be drunk on, since liquor stores are closed. I doubt anyone is going to havy much Fiesta rowdiness left over from the night before-if anything, they will have slept it off by then-and my Fiesta experience is that three days is long enough and not many people are gpt to carry it on another night. Those that do probably wouldn't come to the concert anyway.

Randy Newman is a unique performer and one of the best songwriters around. A show with him and Doug Kershaw could be a great onc-1 only hope PEC hasn't blown it by delaying a decision because of unnecessary Fiesta paranoia.

Anyone who has not heard her does not know the power of song. There is no one who is not carried away. by her singing, a tribute all the greater as we are not in general a music-loving race.

Joni is our sole exceptio1.1 to this quandry; she has a love for music and knows too

how to transmit it. She is the only one: when she dies, music-as we know it-will vanish from our lives.

She is helped in her performance on record by a number of notables-all, I am sure, are notables or they wouldn't be playing so well or with her-like Robbie Robertson, Jose Feliciano, Cheech & Chong.

She is singing with unusual feeling. Her love songs, her radiating enchantment send us into a frenzy of not being loved too, or are we all the ones she loves?

Joni holds us at bay with her sensitivities, her sensations in song; her "Raised on Robbery" and "Twisted" are more than ordinary. Her carefreeness leaves us giddy.

KNOW ANYONE WHO COULD USE AN EXTRA $1000?

You, maybe? Well, $1000 (before taxes) is about what you could

expect to make your first year in the Army Reserve. $1000 for tuition, or a new set of wheels, or just plain fqu.

Here's how it works: First comes eight weeks of basic training (seven for women). Titen a few tmmths of job training. How many depends on the job you choose. Maybe personnel work, or communications, leadership training or lab technology. Training that could very well help you lanJ a beuer job after graduation.

Titen you come honie, to join an Army Reserve unit right in the conununity. From then on, all we ask of you is four 4•hotn· trainittg sessions a moitth (usually all on one weekend), and a couple of weeks during the sununer.

Completeness •:court and Spark" along with

"Help Me" are an unending wish for completeness, to be with love; and all the while we thought her complete in song .

When there is so much laughter, when there is so much spark, why, at the same time, is she afraid of this love? When her gentleness shows through the music-how can she be rejected, is not our life hers? We are all inspired by each other, by the bonds of loneliness, the endearment of life.

Is the whole world a progression towards or a regression away from the words "I Love You"?

The male: the maple leaf of

her introspection, the doll laying in the path, the doomed-by-pity centerfold of her observation, A relationship of this kind, of course, would never content Joni. A fire who burns fresh fuel, she is blinded by her self-concept. Can she be brought to overlook this, for her art does not go unnoticed.

I have often thought about this music of hers. Do we quite understand her, her enchantment? The simplest explanation to this piping of hers would be that the beauty of her singing is so great that even the most insensitive cannot be deaf to it; we delight in it. Is her singing not something out of the ordinary? The important thing is we love her.
