burned out and couldn't do her job "
Other student leaders at the meeting supported
(.ollins-Puente and criticized a Universitv svstern
that thev sav represses multicultural issues
"If (anyone) comes to me and asks whether or not
I think that the University of Oregon is an institu
tion that they could achieve academe achievement.
I would tell them. 'Yes thev t an. hut with condi
tions." Eden Ajrian-Omnri. the ASUO mulitc ultural
advocate, said. "Those conditions would he that
they would have to silence their voice as a women,
they would have to silence their voice as a person
of color and they would definitely have to silence
their voice if they were lesbian, gay or bisexual
"We succeed and survive," said Rob Alvarez, n
representative of the United States Student Asso
ciation delegation visiting the University this week
end. who commented on Ajrian-Omnri's speech
lie said Collins-Puente’s concerns are echoed
at universities nationwide where manv students
face a kind of racism institutionalized by the school
and invisible to most white students and faculty on
the campus.
After the meeting, USSA President Tchi vuka Cor
nelius and USSA Vice President Stephanie Arel
lano both agreed
Having students of color like (’ollins-Puente in
student government is rare on most campuses. Arel
lano said, because of that same atmosphere of big
otry that Collins-Puente and the other students at
the meetings spoke on
"On n national level, students of i olor do have
problems when thev are in elected office. (Racism)
keeps us out of our student governments ami out of
control of the changes we would like to have on our
campuses," Arellano said
Over the years, Collins Puente has served ns co
diret tor of MeCJut, the Mesican-Chicano Ameriian
student union
Towards the end of fur term. President Rohby I .we
recruited Collins -Puente to fill the student govern
ment s multicultural advocate position
An issue later arose that Collins Puente wasn't
registered as a student while serv ing as advcx ate in
fall, 1992.which is ilieagal under teh ASCOcon
stitution The S450 stipend she rei eived for that
term has been repaid on a payment plan, Bowen
said.
She still has at least SSO left to repay on that
account, whir h Collins-Puente has promised to pav
before the end of her term. Bowen said
In the past few months, Collins Puente has tieen
active on a number of multicultural issues, ini lud
ing serv ing on the current multicultural i urriculum
committee
The decision to form a set ond comittee on mu!
tit ulturni cirricilum was intended hv the admin
istration to focus on additional concerns over
changing the cirricilum,
Forming a second committee killed the multi
cultural issue on campus, she said
Before the end of her speet h. Collins Puente
responded to critii s who have said over the past
few months she spends too much time on multi
cultural issues and not enough time on her vu e
president position
"It doesn't matter what my position is I will
always be the multicultural advocate she said
