NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 7A * SPANISH Continued from page 1A and a piece of your culture," Davila said. "(Language) is one of the main ways to pass down cultural identity to future gen- erations." Segura said knowing Spanish helps him communicate with older relatives and connect to his heritage. Sociology Prof. Robert Ortega said some scholars perceive Spanish as "inte- gral to preserving culture and psychologi- cal well-being." "It is through their own language that people express their true self" Ortega said in an e-mail interview. Statistics also show that location has an effect on bilingualism. LSA sophomore Cordaro Vasquez grew up in Bridge Port, Mich. He said he believes he grew up speaking English at home largely because of limited ethnic diversity in Bridge Port. The language is what defines Hispan- ics. "Hispanic" means those who come from Spanish-speaking countries. "There's definitely a trend to be more of a U.S.-acculturated Latino, then a nation- alistic 'I'm Puerto Rican' or 'I'm Mexican Latino,"' Segura said. "It starts to divide communities even further if they just try to associate purely on nationalistic lines." Ortega said that at the same time there is discouragement to speak Spanish. When students speak Spanish in the class- room teachers often doubt their literacy in English, he said. "Third-generation Latinos have a strong emphasis to demonstrate mastery in the English language," Ortega said. Although bilingualism is diminishing as generations pass, Ortega believes it will continue to thrive in the United States. "When you lose a language, you lose a world,' he said. Ortega cited U.S. Census projec- tions that, by the year 2050, there will be more than 100 million His- panics or about 24 percent of the total U.S. population. Ortega said that currently one in eight Americans are Latino and that Latinos have the largest child population, about 15 percent, in the United States. Davila said she believes bilingual- ism is not emphasized enough among some Latinos and mentioned that one of her best friends, who is Latina, does not speak Spanish. "I think parents want their chil- dren to feel as comfortable a possible in the U.S. and feel as little discrimi- nation as possible and the one way to do that is to learn the language of the country you live in," she said. LAWYER Continued from page 1A "(She had) one of the best refer- ences given for a person who I've hired. At this point I can't see that I could've hired anybody better." Chang said she was drawn to her new position not only because it involves litigation, but also edu- cating students on their housing rights. "With my previous experience in plaintiff litigation, I dealt with peo- ple who didn't know their rights or what direction to take, and in that vein, needed an attorney to guide them," she said. The student fee went up $.50 to pay the new attorney's salary. The increase, approved by the Universi- ty Board of Regents last July in con- junction with an increase to boost MSA funding, brought the student fee to $6.50 per semester. COKE Continued from page 1A Cola factories were discussed, but the violations did not play a role in the university's final decision. Taylor said RC Cola will replace some Coke products in campus vending machines. At least 40 student governments across the country have passed reso- lutions urging their administrations to can Coke. DePaul University's Student Gov- ernment Association passed a decla- ration Jan. 14 boycotting Coca-Cola because the company had foregone a deadline. But the decision is not binding on the University administration. Tweed Thornton, Depaul's stu- dent government vice president, said they boycotted Coke because the company has not agreed to a third- party investigation. Tweed Thorn- ton, DePaul's student government vice president, who voted in favor, added that the declaration in no way binds the university's administra- tion. "If Coca-Cola doesn't have anything to hide, then why not open up a third-party investiga- tion?" he said. Coca-Cola says the investigation's delay is because of a legal snafu. BASKETBALL Continued from page 1A than 12 minutes remaining in the game, he hit the biggest shot of the night. After fighting back from a seven- point halftime deficit, Michigan evened the score at 45-45. With the Spartans focusing their efforts on Horton, Har- ris calmly found Hunter in the corner. Hunter didn't even blink and subse- quently swished the three. The shot gave Michigan its first lead of the night and brought the crowd into a frenzy. Brown scored 10 and added seven rebounds for Michigan. Harris account- ed for nine points, despite shooting 1-for-12 from the field. His 7-for-8 per- formance at the charity stripe was high- lighted by the two free throws he made with 1.3 seconds left to ice the game. Ron Coleman - who replaced the injured Lester Abram - also had nine points, on 4-for-5 shooting from the field. "He came in and did a great job," Hunter said of Coleman. "We have a lot of guys on this team that can do a lot of things, so when the oppor- tunity arises, you just have to take advantage of it." Early on, it looked as if Michigan State was going to chalk up another win in the recently-lopsided rivalry. The Spartans had won 12 of the last 13 meetings and didn't seem ready to change their winning ways early on. They answered a 5-0 Michigan start by going on a 25-7 run of their own. A remarkable shooting performance highlighted Michigan State's first half. The Spartans shot 16-for-27 from the field. Michigan's 12-for-14 free-throw shooting kept the 39-32 halftime defi- cit to a reasonable margin after trail- ing by as many as 13 points midway through the half. "We had a lead of seven at halftime, but it should have been 12 or 13," Izzo said. The Maize Rage stormed the court immediately after the buzzer sounded. It was the first time fans have rushed the court since Michigan's last win over its rival - three years ago today. But unlike the 2002-03 squad that celebrated along with the fans, it was more of a business trip for this year's senior-laden group. "This year, we expect to win," Hor- ton said. "Our freshman year, we just wanted to go out and play hard, and whatever happened happened. This is a big win because it puts us at 4-2 and gives us a chance to get some separa- tion from the pack." the michigan daily AVAILABLE MAY 2006 efficiency at 410 N.

This gives all your thoughts a hard-edged determination. You have something to say to others now. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You can discover secrets today because you have the mind of a sleuth.
