have them on campus, is the best way
to use these programs.
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.

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.

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.
