Emerald: Where do you stand on spending money for off-campus pur poses, such as United States Student Association, Oregon Student Associa tion and OSPIRG? Ankney: Students definitely are quite affiliated with OSPIRG and the other two programs I know there are students involved, but I wouldn't say a large (number) ... I think it's good for our university to have a national connec tion with other universities because stu dent advocacy is important, but I think we need to focus on the local level with programs such as OSPIRG, which is a small University group of students tak ing their hands and helping to protect their environment for their school and for themselves. Emerald: Mow will you work to en sure a viewpoint-neutral ASUO Pro grams Finance Committee process? Ankney: I try not to have biases to ward anything. I try to consider both sides to every story. So, if I was against homosexuality for myself, I would not limit it for other people.... Emerald: What's your favorite reali ty television show, and how does it re late to your campaign? Ankney: I'm not a big TV person, per se. I prefer to read the news in ac tually a couple of languages — French and English — and so I don't think I could answer that. — Jared Paben CORTEZ continued from page 16 Emerald: Where do you stand on spending money for off-campus pur poses, such as the United States Student Association, the Oregon Student Asso ciation and OSPIRG? Cortez: I support them. Like I said, as long as they're doing something pro ductive with that money, with that budget that we've given them. As long as there are benefits in every aspect of the community, the U of O communi ty. I don't have anything against them. I'm really flexible with that as long as they show me what they want, where the money is going that we're giving them, and if it's going to be something productive, then I have nothing against supporting those types of groups. Emerald: I low will you work to en sure a viewpoint-neutral PFC process? Cortez: Well, I'm being as neutral as I could, even though I actually have — I've been around a lot of stu dent programs. I've seen what they've done. I've been to cultural events and stuff like that. So, I'm pret ty sure I got the point of certain stu dent programs, where their money goes and I have a neutral viewpoint and my neutral viewpoint is that as long as they can show me what they're going to do, and if what they're going to do is going to be productive towards the student cam pus, then I'm willing to help them out on their budget. Emerald: What is your favorite reali ty television show, and how does it re late to your campaign? Cortez: I'll be honest with you. I don't really watch that much TV so I don't really know much about reality TV so I can't answer that one. — Ayisha Yahya MUJERES continued from page 1 little lost when entering the process. "I had (my mother's) support, but because none of my family had gone through it I didn't know what to ex pect," she said. Assistant Professor of sociology Jiannbin Shiao said Landeros and Romero's experiences are common ones for first-generation students. "There's not going to be the practi cal, direct advice they can give their children," he said. "Ail they can pro vide is emotional support." Landeros said her parents provided an immense amount of support. "They've always been really sup portive of me getting a higher educa tion," Landeros said. "They want me to have a better life than they had." The college admissions process is just the first part of the stmggle. Mu jeres Coordinator Brenda Sifuentez said the Latina students are often overburdened in college because they're asked to be "more than just college students." "We're asked to be students. We're asked to represent our ethnicities. We're asked to be active and in volved," she said. Landeros said she sometimes feels alienated on campus and even in class. "Sometimes it's really overwhelm ing going to classes and being tok enized," she said. "Walking around you don't see students of color that much." Landeros said that as the first col lege student in her family, she feels an immense pressure to succeed. "If I fail here, I fail my family," she said. Romero said her experience has been similar. "(There's) all this pressure to do well for yourself and everyone else," she said. Romero, Landeros and Sifuentez all said student organizations helped them cope with the difficult transition to college. "MEChA was a huge support," Landeros said. "If you're having a bad day someone's there to make you feel better." However, Siffientez said the services the University itself provides, such as the Office of Multicultural Affairs, are not adequate. "They have their services but they spread them way too thin to accom modate students of color," she said. Siffientez, Landeros and Romero all said they would like to attend graduate school, reaching yet another milestone for their families. They're driven to suc ceed partially by the fact that they're blazing the trail for their children. "(We're) paving the way for future generations," Siffientez said.
