JO LEGISL/\ TIVE COUNCIL BILL //52 April 13, 1989 UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO STUDENT UNION Sponsored by: ASSG Representative Representative-at-Large Kurt Colburn Andy Medina Authored by: MECHA Co-or dina tor MECHA Member A BILL Diana Pena Kevin Arroyo BILL HISTORY The Cinco De Mayo Celebration at the University of Colorado has been an : important cultural event for all students on campus. On May 5 1862, at Puebla, the Mexican People fought their first major battle against a French expeditionary army whose objective was to transform Mexico into a colony of the French Army. In this battle, the French were soundly defeated, due to the heroic resistance of the Mexicans against their national inslavement. In Mexico Juarez took the stand of fighting imperialist aggression to the death. By 1867, Maximillian of Austria "Emporer of Mexico", was defeated and executed, bringing to an end a long and bitter war of na tiona! liberation. In recognition of this historical event it has been a custom of the Mexican/Chicano people to celebrate the 5th of May. As conscious Chicano/Latina students we feel -it is necessary to carry on this tradition on the CU Campus. Also this event will give the student body an opportunity to become aware of the Mexican/Chicano culture that exists on Campus and in the Southwestern United States.
