Eugene group to resettle boat people
While the U S Navy tries to
aid the Indochinese refugees in
the Pacific Ocean, a Eugene
group wants to help resettle
nearly 6,000 of the boat people
in Oregon before next August
Dave Morse, a representative
of the Oregonians to Save the
Boat People, says his group is
working to help 100 refugee
families settle in Oregon in the
coming year But before that
number can be helped, more
citizen and civic organizations
must become involved
'Our primary purpose is to
increase the number of
churches and other civic or
ganizations who can help spon
sor the families as they come to
Oregon," Morse says Under
the current U S government re
settlement plans, refugees must
be sponored by either private
citizens or organizations before
they will be admitted to the
United States
To better aid the refugees the
group is divided into three ac
tion committees to help the boat
people with housing, jobs and
medical aid once they arrive in
Oregon So far only about 75
people have joined the organ
ization. but Morse expects more
as the group becomes better
known.
The group plans to bring
6.000 refugees into Oregon in a
year. Morse says There are al
ready 6.500 refugees living in
Oregon now. with most of those
living in ths Portland area
"We want to distribute them
more evenly across tbe state."
Morse says
In order to do that, the group
will ask each sponsor to make a
six-month ''moral’* committ
ment to the project, he says
"That is not a written contract,
but it m a moral committment to
help the boat people while they
are here "
Without church and civic or
ganization help, that commit
ment could be very expensive,
he says To help four persons
for the entire six months would
cost nearly $2,000 for a private
individual sponsor
"It is a bit of a financial com
mittment and a large time com
mittment to sponsor someone."
Morse says
The Eugene group is a com
panion group to a Portland or
ganization that was formed ear
lier this year to aid the boat
people.
Persons interested in becom
ing a part of the group can con
tact Morse at 485-4239 for more

Student loan finance charge dropped
Students scheduled to start repayment of
Guaranteed Student Loans after Aug 1 won't
have to pay the one and a half percent finance
charge usually tacked on to the first regular
payment notice.
Oregon Student Lobby Executive Coordina
tor Jim Bernau announced Friday that the Oregon
State Scholarship Commission has eliminated the
finance charge, which used to be added on for
administrative costs. He said the OSSC has
received additional funds from the federal
government, which allows them to eliminate the
extra charqe
“That doesn't amount to much money
saved." Bernau said, ' but it's enough to pay the
utilities or buy a lot of beer.”
After a student has finished attending school,
explained Bernau. he or she doesn't have to start
repayment until nine months later At the time of
the first payment, students used to have to pay a
finance charge computed to one and a half
percent of the total amount loaned
’Sometimes, if you had a big loan," Bernau
explained, "it could be extremely hard to come up
with that much money
"I'm extremely pleased with the progress the
lobby has had with the scholarship commission
Next, we re going to try and get a deferment
clause for the pre-paid finance charge "
Bernau explained that the pre-paid finance
charge is the amount of money usually charged
before a student can recieve his or her loan
"A lot of students can't come up with the
money for this charge." Bernau said "We want
the commission to allow students to defer the
charge until they receive the loan after registra*
tion "
