CSUN celebrates Mexico's freedom ByjIMBADHAM StaffWriter Mexican Independence Day was celebrated Wed­ nesday with a mariachi band, poetry reading, and Mexican food and beer in the University Student Union. MEChA adviser Frank Muniz called the event a big success?.saying he had seen a lot of interaction between people. "It's a good chance for new students to meet old ones," Muniz said, "and not only those within the Chicano student population." .The anniversary celebration was organized by MEChA in Coordination with the USU and Associated Students. The event is held in honor of the 1810 uprising which eventually led to the expulsion of Spanish colonialists in 1821 4nd to the independence of the southwestern section of North America. * MEChA Chair Gilbert Acuna said the celebration was initially scheduled for Sept. 16, the official date of recognition, but took place yesterday because Wed­ nesdays are traditionally "heavy traffic" days on campus.
