abled person. Members would
also volunteer time to relieve the
caretaker.
While the group will receive
money from the student inciden
tal fee, currently its main goal is
to raise money. Austin said mem
bers are planning to organize
clothing and diaper drives and
adopting a number of single
mothers to support with food
baskets during holidays.
The group is also planning an
anti-abortion picnic in front of
the EMU. Stoffel said Justice For
All will work to bring the GAP
Project back to campus next fall
and make it an annual event.
Holly Wright, a junior double
majoring in art history and histo
ry, said she joined Justice For All
last spring because the group
stands up for issues she is inter
ested in and concerned about.
She said she hopes to help peo
ple in crisis situations involving
unwanted pregnancies make
more educated choices although
she realizes those choices are dif
ficult ones.
“It’s so hard to tell someone
this is what you should be doing
because obviously you are not
that person,” Wright said.
Justice For All members said
although they cannot make
choices for other people, they
hope to help them make what
they think are better choices.

teers and staff filled the EMU
Ballroom Saturday morning to
kick off the day’s events. After
opening comments and wel
comes by OMA director Carla
Gary and University President
Dave Frohnmayer, the University
Gospel Ensemble performed.
The students then separated
into different teams with duck
themed names and spread out to
different buildings on campus.
Each team had two or three Uni
versity students as leaders who
guided them to different work
shops and “mini classes.”
University professors and stu
dents volunteered their after
noons to present on a variety of
subjects including science, law,
dance and foreign languages.
“It gives me a lot of satisfaction
to see so many UO students giv
ing up a whole Saturday — dur
ing midterms — to help us help
these kids,” Choy said.
About 60 University students
volunteered to help guide and
keep track of the students.
Aisha Luvert sophomore major
ing in biochemistry, was a team
leader of the “Soaring Ducks.”
When Luvert was in middle
school she attended Reach and
though it was not the deciding
factor in her decision to attend
college, it was important for her to
have a day to visit a college cam
pus and see students of color who
were succeeding and acting as
campus leaders, she said.
Valerie Garcia, a sixth grader
from Woodburn, was on Luvert’s
team. They attended classes on
international cultures, law and
chemistry.
“I liked the chemistry best be
cause they made goop and turned
a pickle into light,” Garcia said.
Garcia said before “Reach for
Success” she was already think
ing about college but it was a good
field trip for her. She also enjoyed
the presentation on law because
she is planning to be a lawryer one
day, she said.
Counselors and teachers also
appreciate their students having
the opportunity to see what col
lege has to offer. Dapo Sobomehin
works as a counselor and social
studies teacher at Whiteaker Mid
dle School in Portland and said
the program is beneficial to his
students because “it is the little
things that stay in their heads.
“It exposes kids to higher edu
cation, brings different communi
ties together,” Sobomehin said.
“The setting is fabulous. The kids
can mingle.”
While the students attended
classes, their relatives, counselors
and teachers attended workshops
about financial aid and how to
help a child succeed in school.
Many of the workshops were also
available in Spanish.
After classes and workshops,
participants returned to the ball
room to fill out evaluations and
watch the closing dance perform
ance. Four Eugene students from
Kennedy danced to “Suava
mente,” by Elvis Crespo and invit
ed everyone to dance together to
close the day’s events.
The dancers are part of another
University-sponsored program for
middle school students, Ganas, in
which University students from
MEChA tutor Chicano and Latino
students.
One dancer, Joanne Mendoza, a
seventh grader, said, “Usually in
the sixth or seventh grade, you
usually don’t think about col
lege.”
Mendoza said the University
sponsored events, such as Ganas,
Reach and Edward James Olmos’
recent visit, have together sharp
ened her vision of the future.
She also noted there is a good
possibility she will attend the
University to study science with
the goal of becoming a doctor.
“My vision of college is more
clear than before,” she said. “I can
now see myself in college.”
