Gift will help University — but not until 21 st century Three Portland businessmen have donated to the University the income from leases they hold, to be used as administra tors see fit. The one catch to the gift, conservatively estimated to be worth several million dollars, is that the money doesn’t start arriving until the year 2002 Ed Bowers, University alum nus James Carney and David Lees have placed 40-year leases they hold to land in Pro gress, Ore into net income uni trusts with the University Foun dation. For the first 20 years, income from the leases will go to the donors and their families But from 2002 to 2022, the in come will go to the foundation to meet the University’s priority needs The gift is the largest unitrust gift ever received by the foun dation, and the first to be based on leases, says Cliff Cole, dir ector of planned giving at the foundation. Trusts typically are based on gifts of cash, of real estate, or of securities that have appreciated in value The value of the leases at the time the gift was made was $727,000, according to Cole, who estimates the University will receive several times that amount during the first two decades of the 21st century University Pres Paul Olum says unrestricted gifts of this type are particularly important to the University, because they give the school flexibility in meeting the needs of a specific academic year. Those needs might include additional books for the library, faculty development funds and seed funds for research Bowers is the owner of Bowers Construction Co , Beaverton Carney is the pres ident of Lees-Carney and Co., a Portland grain-trading firm Lees has retired from that com pany Information on planned giving and estate planning are availa ble from Cole at the foundation, located in Susan Campbell Hall, Room 150 The telephone number is 686-3016 Students help handicapped Registration starts early — 7 a m — for students who volun teer to help handicapped students register Early registration is neces sary for handicapped students because MacArthur Court is not accessible to them And it is essential they get the classes they need because of special materials they may have already ordered such as Braille books or tapes for the hearing impaired, according to Chris Goodrich, counselor for handicapped students in the student services and academic advising office The student helpers also get Welcome Backl Spring term is here so get ready to save! 40-50% OFF SELECTED APPAREL Waffle Trainer reg. 29.
