Ocean spray, sun await student sailors

Of the Emerald
Saltwater, sea spray and studying await
those who become involved in a coastal
studies program that will sail students
down the Eastern seaboard in a 95-foot
schooner next fall term, says Mike Craybill
of the University's Oregon Institute of
Marine Biology.
Offered by Northeastern University in
Boston and the University's marine biology
institute in Charleston, the program will
take students from Maine's rocky shores to
Nassau's balmy waters in the Bahama
Islands.
The interdisciplinary program will offer a
typical liberal arts blend of college courses
in history, biology, literature — and some
atypical classes in piloting, navigation and
seamanship — all aboard the schooner.
Students will put their navigational skills
to work piloting the two-masted schooner,
the Harvey Carnage, which is licensed to
carry 24 people.
While sailing southward, the schooner
will dock in many historic ports along the
way.
Students will spend winter term 1985 in
Boston studying at Northeastern University,
one of the nation's largest private
universities.
Spring term, students will travel to
Charleston, where they will conduct an in
dependent research project and study
biology, political science, landscape ar
chitecture and geography in the tiny fishing
village next to Coos Bay.
Applications are being accepted for the
"East-West Coastal Studies Program,"
which is open to students from all academic
disciplines.
University students will pay regular tui
tion rates plus room and board for the
coastal studies program. Total cost for the
nine-month program is estimated at $6,720
(air fare not included) for in-state students.
A similar program, also offered in con
junction with Northeastern, is available on
ly to biology majors.
After living on the Oregon coast and stu
dying marine biology fall term, the 30
biology majors in the “East-West Marine
Biology Program" will study tropical
biology in Jamaica at a small marine
laboratory during winter term.
Spring term will find the students at Nor
theastern's marine biology institute off the
Boston Harbor shores, where they will do
independent research as well as take
courses at the university.
Total cost for the marine biology program
is estimated at $5,420 (air fare not included)
for in-state students.
Posters describing both programs are
distributed around campus, with applica
tions attached to each poster. For more in
formation, students may call the biology
department at 686-4502.

OSPIRG hotline extends
to consumers statewide
The Oregon Student Public Interest Research Croup hotline
will now reach consumers statewide.
The hotline — the only operation of its kind south of Portland
— services approximately 75 people calling each week about con
sumer protection matters, said Amy Credler, OSPIRG chair.
The OSPIRG hotline was started in 1981 to help fill the void
created when the county hotline went under, Gredler said.
Fifty percent of hotline calls are tenant/landlord related, 26
percent are automobile repair related and 24 percent have to do
with questions about small claims courts, utility bills and com
plaints against local businesses.
Since callers are not asked to identify themselves, Gredler did
not know how many students call the hotline. However, she
estimated that students tend to have questions about te
nant/landlord problems since many students are tenants.
Students, as well as other citizens statewide, might feel more
comfortable contacting the OSPIRG hotline, which is student run
and operated, than calling the Portland hotline, which is run by
the consumer protection division, Gredler said.
The hotline also functions as a valuable resource to OSPIRG
by identifying major areas of consumer concern, which the
organization then can focus on through other activities, such as
bill formulations and lobbying.
Consumers with any questions or complaints can call the
hotline at 686-4377 between 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday.
