THE FOUNDATION'S
INVESTMENT PROGRAM
Every year thousands of alumni and
friends make gifts to the University
through the UO Foundation. The gifts
are processed and passed along to the
colleges, departments, faculty and
students, or endowed for the future.
The endowed gifts are professionally
managed under the supervision of the
Foundation Board of Trustees in three
investment pools, each designed to serve
specific needs of deans, department
heads, and the University administrators.
The pools include a balanced income
and growth fund, as a hedge against
inflation; a high yield fund, for immediate
needs; and a high growth fund to
strengthen the future purchasing power
of endowment dollars.

Foundation's investment program?

Lights flash, bells blare
Special phone additions
help disabled place calls
By MARIAN GREEN
Of the Emerald
Making disabled persons aware of the var
ious communication devices available to them is
Jan Holler’s job and she does it well
All too often the disabled say "I can’t" instead
of "How can I?" just because they haven’t been
educated about the devices, says Holler. Pacific
Northwest Bell’s consumer product consultant
Holler is taking advantage of the International
Year of the Disabled to spread the word about
special telephone devices for disabled people
The 25-year-old Washington native has been
traveling throughout Washington, Idaho and
Oregon to show and explain the various gadgets
Holler will be at the Eugene Phone Center, 112
East 10th Ave , from 9 a m to 12 noon today to
answer questions about the devices
"Disabled people aren’t any different than other
people," she says
"You have a disability, but it doesn’t have to be
a handicap "
Holler exemplifies that philosophy
Despite a severe hearing loss at age six that left
her almost deaf Holler completed college earned
a Master s degree in rehabilitative counseling
and now holds a full-time |ob and works as a
volunteer counselor in King County (Washington)
Juvenile Court
The various devices she will be demonstrating
include
• Amplifying handsets that either increase the
volume of the voice being received, or increase
the volume of the speaker's voice
• A toll-free directory assistance information
number (1-800-855-1 155) for users of
teletypewriters — also known as telecommunica
tions devices for the deaf or TDD's
• Bell attachments that supply a ring louder
than normal or ring in a different frequency
• Signaling devices that flash on household
lamps as the phone rings
• Speakerphones, with volume control fea
tures that allow the user to talk and listen without
holding the receiver
• Automatic dialers, called Touch-a-matics,
that can be programmed to dial pre-selected
numbers
• Bright orange cords large number dials and
stickers to help customers who have difficulty
seeing the regular numbers
• Special operator assistance for those who
are blind, speech impaired or physically unable to
dial the phones By dialing the operator and
saying special service.' operator assistance is
given immediately
Holler says most of the devices available from
PNB may be rented or purchased at reasonable
rates For instance the volume adjuster may be
rented for 75 cents a month, not including install
ment charges she says
"It's an added expense but you re not going to
have to get a grant to get it "
Many devices simply modify normal phones
Holler says "It (the device) doesn't have to be
ugly " she adds
I ask the sexpert
I heard about a woman who
got pregnant by having inter
course during her period How
is this possible9
Although it is unusual, a
woman can get pregnant by
having unprotected intercourse
during her period This is
especially true if her menstrual
cycle is short (for example,
every 21 days) A woman's most
fertile time is during ovulation,
when the egg is released from
the ovaries Most women
ovulate about 14 days before
their next period begins The
shorter her cycle, the fewer
days there will be between her
menstrual period and her next
ovulation
Sperm may live up to 5 days
once they have entered the
uterus therefore it is conceiva
r
ble that sperm deposited during
a woman s period still could be
alive when her next egg is
released
I am a freshman and have
never had a pap smear Do I
need one even if I have never
had intercourse and don‘t plan
to in the near future?
A pap smear is recommended
tor all women 18 and older The
pap smear (named for Dr
Papanicolaou who developed it)
is a procedure used to detect
the presence of cancer or other
abnormal cells on the cervix
The cervix is the entrance to the
uterus located at the end of the
vagina
The pap smear is simple and
usually painless It takes about
two seconds to gently wipe
some cell tissue from the cervix
This tissue is sent to a labora
tory to be analyzed Most
women feel little or nothing dur
ing this procedure although a
tew will experience discomfort
Even though the risk of cer
vical cancer is higher in women
who are having sexual inter
course, all adult women should
have a pap smear regardless of
sexual activity or sexual prefer
ence
