You lose trust in people — that's the part I don’t like.” They have been befriended by Eugene re sident Foy Carneval, Kaesser says. Carneval has given the pair food and a place to stay. "Without him," Wetzel says, "we would have had a really bad time here ” The missing items include two backpacks, a dark green "Silvretta" with an external metal frame and a blue "Messmer” with an internal frame The second pack contained a "Petrie" camera with a regular lens and a wide-angle lens, a "Kodak" instamatic camera, several German biochemistry books, the passport, $120, clothing and food The two travelers went to the Main Desk after they discovered their things missing and from there, filed a report with the Eugene Police Department Wetzel and Kaesser worked as nurses during evenings to pay for the trip "It's not like here, the medical students aren’t rich We have free universities, but we have to work," Kaesser says The couple plans to stay in Eugene until early Thursday morning in hopes of finding their pos sessions The pair has return plane tickets to Germany but hasn’t found a ride to Seattle to catch their flight by Thursday afternoon They ask that anyone with information regarding the backpacks contact them at 1442 East 19th Ave or phone them at 342-7095. No questions will be asked ESCAPE gives student participants upper level credit, marketable skills “it's like the poster says," said deShaunna Blankinship. ESCAPE Field Services direc tor "The program will broaden students' base experiences and at the same time gain them backround in a working com munity." Founded in 1969, Every Student Caring About Person alized Education has enrolled nearly 20,000 students par ticipating as volunteers in the Eugene-Springfield area Volunteers can earn academic credit for their work through the education school or planning, public policy and management department (which took the place of the Wallace School of Community Service and Public Affairs). ESCAPE gives students the chance to discover and inves tigate career choices in the "real world," while receiving upper-division credit "The program really can give the student the chance to en hance their education and make themselves more marketable in the career world while at the same time gives them a chance to work in a less structured at mosphere," Blankinship said The program is divided into two branches: public schools and community services Volunteers work in the 40 to 50 public schools in the Eugene-Springfield area In the community, volunteers work in such areas as friendship with the elderly, special education, daycare and after-school pro grams in community schools "I went back over the records from the last couple of years, and we seem to be on the right track," she added Blankinship predicts about 300 students will get involved with ESCAPE this term Students can register for ES CAPE classes until Friday in EMU Room 327 l ASUO posts filled, one still open Two of the three vacant positions in the ASUO state and academic affairs office have been filled Ed Razor, a business and music senior, was selected director of state affairs and Mark Cleveland, an undeclared sophomore, was appointed director of University and academic affairs, said Debi Lance, ASUO vice president of state and academic affairs The administrative assistant position remains unfilled, she said Razor was chosen because of his exper ience and because he made an effort to know the legislature. Lance said Razor was a student body president at Pasadena City Col lege Cleveland was appointed because of his experience with the Resident Hall Governance Committee and the Interfraternity Council. Lance said He is also familiar with the Univer sity's community outreach program which the office wants to become involved In. she said WHAT DOES THE OUTDOOR PROGRAM HAVE FOR YOU? w Come To The Open House and Discover!
