Leading history
Black History Month person of the day
Mary Jane McLeod Bethune, bom on a rice and cotton
farm nearMayesviUe, S.C., on July 10,1875, was the 15th
of 17 children bom to slave parents. Throughout her
youth, she had a strong desire to learn, but there was no
school in Mayesville until she was 11 years old, when one
opened up about five miles from her home.
When she graduated high school, she was awarded a
small scholarship that paid for her to attend Scotia Semi
nary in Concord, N.C., from which she graduated in 1893.
With almost no money, but a desire to educate herself
and others, Bethune founded a small school for girls in
Florida in 1904, which at first was attended by her 4-year
old son and five girls, who each paid 50 cents per week to
attend. The school grew in enrollment and in faculty, and
became known as Bethune-Cookman College, the first
four-year accredited college founded by a black Ameri
can woman.
Afterward, Bethune became involved in govern
ment affairs, and in 1930 was appointed to the White
House Conference on Child Health by President Her
bert Hoover. President Franklin D. Roosevelt later ap
pointed her as director of Negro Affairs in the Nation
al Youth Administration and as his special adviser on
minority affairs.
Bethune died in May 1955 at age 79.

News brief
Senate uses spring
term surplus funds
The ASUO Student Senate deplet
ed the surplus budget for winter
term and had to dip into the spring
term surplus budget by $1,925 in or
der to honor a parade of special re
quests from student groups that last
ed more than two hours.
A representative for the Viet
namese Student Association ap
peared before the senate to ask for
aid in funding the group’s cultural
event on Sunday. The senate trans
ferred $1,362 from surplus to VSA’s

the winter event line item, and
transferred 830 from the group’s AV
set-up line item to its winter event.
The Multicultural Center received
$999 out of surplus for the Taiko

The senate voted to create a new

the program to buy music and
funded the line item at $100.
A representative for DELTA-GSO
presented a special request to the
senate, asking senators to pay for
the group’s deficit in a telephone
line item, but the senate decided
not to honor the request.
The senate voted to transfer
$7,300 from various line items
within the Coalition Against Envi
ronmental Racism’s budget, to the
group’s speaker line item so GAER

an upcoming conference.
The senate transferred #500

account into the program’s sympo
sium line item.
The senate transferred #450

Education
continued from page 1A
“Our primary and secondary
schools are under enormous pressure
to serve students and meet unfunded
federal mandates at the same time,”
Wyden said in a statement. “Now is not
the moment for the federal govern
ment to fail college students, too, by
underfunding schools and limiting op
portunities to attend. ”
Brenda Sifuentes, co-chairwoman of
Oregon Students of Color Coalition,
said Congress needs to amend the act
by repealing the drug crime-related
Question No. 35 in the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid because it dis
proportionately affects students of col
or, who are victims of racial profiling.
Non-Traditional Student Advocate
Gabe Sitowski, a student and parent of
three children, said student parents
face immense financial challenges.
Sitowski said he works 20 to 30 hours a
week, donates plasma, and has racked
up a large debt on his credit cards.
Office of Federal Affairs Director
Betsy Boyd said Congress should lis
ten to students’ personal stories to see
a clearer picture — students are
struggling to afford their education,

“It’s the loans and the grants that
make this possible,” he said.
The University will send eight dele

amendments to the act March 6
through March 11. The delegates will
