Tutors continued from page 1A cano and Latino middle school students improve their perform ance in school. The program, which is run out of the MEChA office on campus, has now expanded from Kennedy to Jefferson and Kelly middle schools. Sylvia Gil, director of MEChA, said the program is open to all students but the activities are tai lored to the needs of Chicano and Latino students. Each week, Uni versity students plan activities such as field trips and games in addition to offering help with homework, said Gil, a senior ma joring in political science. Last week, they had a chance to go to Oregon State University for the “Chicanitos tour,” which was meant to show the students' what college has to offer. Later this year, MEChA will bring Edward James Olmos, star of the film “Stand and Deliver,” to campus and give Ganas stu dents a chance to meet him. Daniel Lopez, a Jefferson Ganas student, said, “I like the field trips and the food. Every thing; I like everything.” Lopez has been attending Ganas every week since it began. Larsen, a psychology and Spanish double major, said Lopez was shy at first, but “now he sings for us.” That seems to be the common story: Students timidly enter the program, and after a few weeks they feel right at home. Larsen worked at Jefferson with English as a Second Language students before Ganas expanded into the school. She knew some of the kids before she was a Ganas tutor. “I love them,” she said. Each time the groups meet, they sit in a circle and check in. The middle schoolers tell the tu tors what they are doing in school, and the tutors do the same. Guillen told the group about an assignment she is working on: “I’m doing a project on immigra tion and how they shouldn’t take advantage of the people.” University student Gerardo Ochoa said, “I’m doing a presen tation on immigration for one of my classes too, maybe I can help you out.” After they check in, they break up and start their homework. The students all have different sub jects they want to work on. The tutors sit by the students’ sides and read through the mate rial and break it down so the stu dents can understand it. Many of the students speak English as a second language, so the Ganas program is a chance for them to get one-on-one attention. Larsen, who volunteers at Kel ly and Jefferson, said she enjoys seeing the students improve not only in grades but in their critical thinking skills as well. “They learn how to do their homework [on their own] at home,” she said. For Jane Harrison, University alumna and principal of Kelly Middle School, the most exciting moment was when the Universi ty students walked into the school. She said every Latino stu dent’s head turned and everyone wondered why they were there. “They hadn’t had role models,” she said. Harrison said the program is important because “it helps them see they can be learners.” The middle schoolers are not the only ones who benefit from the program. “The kids end up being your little friends,” Larsen said. Ganas tutors meet at 3 p.m. in the MEChA office, EMU Suite 30, every Monday through Thursday. For more information call 346 3508. »»»»»»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ LAZAR S BAZAR • 57 W.
