Juan "Freddie Freak" Trujillo was not a student at the University of Colorado-Boulder. In fact he was much older than many of the students there. He was 30 years old when he took a summer course on Chicano Studies at the university. He was walking on campus one day and he noticed a rally going on by a fountain. He heard words like Chicano Pride and Brown power being spoken. He asked one of the students hanging around the rally what was going on and the student said the group was a bunch of communists and he shouldn't get involved. Trujillo did not support communism so he cautioned himself with the group. As the days passed on he got more interested with the group and all the activities they were participating in. Trujillo soon came the conclusion that he wanted in the fun and if that meant becoming a communist that he would do it. This communist group that he would join would be the UMAS or United Mexican American Students.
