SPANISH Continued from page 1 first, the students would still have to learn English anyway. This will only delay the process - anyone who comes to the University with mediocre English skills can't succeed either way." But LSA senior Harlyn Pacheco, co-chair for the Latino student group La Voz Latina, said the Spanish resources will have a positive impact on campus. "I think that the growth of services and resources are really important for this organization and others on this campus," Pacheco said. "This could really help in mak- ing the Latino population at the University feel more comfortable." The University has implemented the Alma pro- gram, a student-organized orientation for Latino students and their families now in its fourth year. Students are informed about the various academic and social resources that are offered to Latino stu- dents. For example, students are informed about cer- tain study habits that would help them succeed at the University. Latino Studies Prof. Catherine Benamou said the Alma program is important in the Latino students' adjustment process. "A lot of these students and par- ents of students don't know how American universities work since the students are first generation college- goers," she said. "If we show them that they can feel welcome, then we will be able to maintain or even expand our Latino population." Benamou said the Alma program gives useful information to the students and their families. She also said the program serves as a way for people to ask questions in a situation where they might feel more comfortable than in a general orientation set- ting. Benamou said this will also aid them in feeling welcome at the University. The University has also recently created its Span- ish language gateway website. The website can help parents and students prepare for college, and it can help them learn what to expect from the University, Benamou said. There are various links that are available on the Span- ish website that are not immediately apparent on the Eng- lish website. For example, there is a direct link to several Latino organizations. Pacheco said the transition process for Latino stu- dents into the University can be complex. "One thing that Latinos have to deal with is their iden- tity," he said. "It is very hard for them to feel comfortable in this type of environment because most Latinos come from an environment that is mostly Latino. The transition could be very hard." But Gutierrez said she believes changes need to be made to the current programs for Latino students. "What the University currently offers for the Latino popula- tion through student organizations and the Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs is at its maximum," she said. "In the future, I believe that the University needs to increase its staffing with certain programs and make several other changes with staffing." Last year, several students in La Voz Latina advocat- ed for a Latino coordinator in MESA as part of a coali- tion, Student Voices in Action, that pushed for increased funding for student services, criticized the University for not hiring a Latino coordinator. The office hired Angela Munoz over the summer. HOMELESS Continued from page 1 "As soon as I broke my ankle, I wasn't going to (the shelter) for meals, so they found me," Randy said. "They gave me some hope. They got me a room and put me on medication. It's going pretty good now." Randy said his ankle had been broken for about a month, but he was unable to get a cast because University Hospital employees told him he had to call a bone specialist for his injury. Because Randy didn't have a phone, he said getting a cast would have been impossible without the work of Outreach. "Outreach found out (my situation), called and got an appointment for me," he said. Harvest Missionary Community Church acted as another group to lessen the load of the holidays for the homeless, said LSA senior Stanley Kim, who along with seven other members put on a Thanksgiving din- ner on Nov. 24 at the YMCA. Kim said they hope to continue their outreach by making the dinners a month- ly tradition. Preleasing now for winter, spring, and fall 20051!! The preferred North Campus location!l!
