Cleo Estrada, a counselor in the multicultural section of Student Services at the University of Colorado at Boulder, was born in 1951 in Center, Colo., in the San Luis Valley. Cleo started working in the fields at age 5-6 with her siblings. She describes how hard the work was and also talks about the use of the Spanish language and traditions in the San Luis Valley. She describes poor housing for Latinos and segregation in Center. She also talks about what motivated her to acquire a college education and how she came to CU-Boulder in 1969 through the Migrant Action Program that recruited and supported Latino students with migrant farming backgrounds, receiving her undergraduate degree in 1973 and her Master's in counseling in 1974. She describes her involvement with UMAS (United Mexican American Students) and Chicano activists on campus. She gives historical background about the Chicano movement, describes special progams for Hispanic students, and lays out the issues the student activists were concerned about and why during the decades of the 1950s to the 1970s. She talks about what had changed on campus since then.

This interview is part of a series about three football games that were played during the early 1970s and were known as the Hairy Bacon Bowl. Participants included University of Colorado students who identified with hippie culture and/or anti-war sentiment, versus campus and Boulder police officers. The games were seen as a way to address tensions between the two groups. Aaron Clay as an exception in that he played in the last of the three games (1973) just for the fun of the football game rather then out of an ideological identification with either hippie culture or anti-war sentiment. He was the quarterback for the student team. As an undergraduate, Aaron came fron a small town in Colorado; he graduated from CU-Boulder in 1975, then returned to Boulder to go to CU Law School, graduating in 1979. From that dual experience, he is able to paint a picture of the turbulent times of the early '70s and contrast it with the way things had changed by the late '70s - typified by his description of how streaking had replaced political protest on campus.
