Housing: Fewer students return
■ Continued from Page 1
a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, and the
Carson cafeteria will be open for
slightly fewer hours.
Each food item at Grab 'n Go
will be assigned a point value,
and customers can take a number
of items that do not exceed a point
limit.
“The big difference is going to
be a hugely expanded menu,”
Eyster said. “It could be 10 times
as much space for selection as we
had at Carson.”
The food service revamp is the
most recent of Housing changes
that mark the changing image of
the financially self-supporting de
partment.
Spencer View family housing
has been a profitable success and
will run at its capacity this fall.
This is a sharp contrast to the resi
dence halls, where Eyster says
two halls will probably remain
empty this year — Moore Hall in
the Bean Complex and one other,
which has not been decided.
Eyster estimates the “comfort
able capacity” of the residence
halls to be about 3,125, and Hous
ing usually projects about 3,200
residents, knowing many stu
dents leave school early in the
year. Last year, only 3,000 stu
dents lived in the residence halls,
and this fall looks even worse.
“This year it looks like we’re
going to open at under 2,900,”
Eyster said. Housing officials
knew there would be a decrease
in residents when about 100 few
er residents than normal signed
up to return this fall.
The reduction in the number of
residents is not hurting Housing
financially, Eyster said. In fact,
the department has compensated
for its surprise deficit at the end of
the 1996-97 school year, even
with a lower number of residents
last school year, Eyster said. The
deficit was the result of several
unexpected fixed cost increases,
such as minimum wage. Officials
have since adjusted the budget ac
cordingly.
In some final preparations for
the fall, Housing is on the verge of
hiring its first conduct coordina
tor to deal with the recent over
flow of conduct cases in the resi
dence halls. An announcement
on the new coordinator is expect
ed soon. All three finalists are
graduates of the University
School of Law.
The conduct coordinator is a
symbol of a more concerted Hous
ing effort to curb rule violations in
the halls.
“We don’t want loud, rowdy,
inconsiderate, irresponsible be
havior,” Eyster said.
One new policy will allow resi
dents who are minors to be docu
mented for detectable intoxica
tion. Residents who are
documented will be assessed a fee
to pay for the extra time needed to
process their case.
Brothers face murder charges
The two teen-agers were arrested after
a joyride in the slain man’s truck, but
police are still seeking a motive
The Associated Press
GRANTS PASS — The slaying of a prominent
lodge owner in Grants Pass has police baffled be
cause the teen-age suspects don’t fit neatly into the
all-too-common pattern of youth gone wild.
The two half-brothers — ages 18 and 14 — had no
criminal record and were by all accounts studious,
smart and quiet. They were schooled in their rural
home, where there is no electricity, computers or
television.
“You can’t blame the violence on TV,” said
Josephine County sheriffs Lt. Brian Anderson. “It’s
hard to figure out. They weren’t out raising hate and
discontent in the community.”
Joshua Cain and his younger half-brother Trevor
Walraven face aggravated murder charges in the
shooting death of a 65-year-old William “Bill” Hull,
owner of the Black Bar Lodge on the Rogue River.
Hull was killed by a single gunshot to the head and
his body was found about 50 feet off a dirt road near
the confluence of Grave Creek and the Rogue River.
He had been missing since July 26, when he failed
to show up for a meeting with his brother.
The suspects were seen last week in their home
town of Wolf Creek driving Hull’s missing 1997 Sub
urban. Their parents turned them in to authorities
Friday morning, and Hull’s body was located later
that day.
Detectives say the suspects claim they found
Hull’s Suburban with the keys in it and took the rig
for a joyride, but they deny the murder.
Several guns have been seized from their parents’
home, but the weapons don’t match the caliber of the
gun used to kill Hull.
The boys quickly “clammed up” and exercised
their constitutional rights, said Detective Sgt. Ron
Goodpasture.
Investigators said it doesn’t appear Hull knew the
two boys, although they lived in the same region of
the county. Hull lived on several hundred acres in
Sunny Valley, an unincorporated community a few
miles north of Grants Pass.
Goodpasture said the boys may have been on foot in
the Sunny Valley area near Hull’s house and that Hull
may have picked them up.
“We think it probably happened on a roadway
somehow,” he said. “The closer you get to his house,
the greater likelihood it occurred.”
Walraven and Cain lived with their parents —
Doug Walraven and Karen Cain — on a 52-acre par
cel near Wolf Creek, which is over a hill from Sunny
Valley.
Anderson said the parents are antique dealers who
were away from home at the time. He said the only
criminal problem associated with the family is a mar
ijuana-growing conviction for Doug Walraven sever
al years ago.
Lyle Walraven, Doug’s father, said in a telephone
interview from his Lakewood, Calif., home that the
youths were not troublemakers.
“They’ve always been quiet boys. This is a tremen
dous shock to us,” he said.
Five Thurston heroes to receive
top Boy Scout medals of honor
This is the first time in
Boy Scout history that
five medals will be
given simultaneously
By William McCall
The Associated Press
When shots rang out in his
Springfield, Ore., high school this
year, 17-year-old Jake Ryker over
came a bullet to the chest to tackle
the gunman. His brother and
three others quickly piled on to
end the rampage.
All five boys have one thing in
common — they are Boy Scouts.
Monday, Jake Ryker will be
presented with the Boy Scouts of
America’s highest award for hero
ism, the Honor Medal with
Crossed Palms.
Fourteen-year-old Josh Ryker
and the three others each will re
ceive scouting’s second-highest
heroism award, the Honor
Medal.
It will mark the first time in the
88-year history of the Boy Scouts
that five heroism medals have
been awarded at one time.
“It’s pretty amazing,” said Tim
Parker, national spokesman for
the Boy Scouts, an organization
known for its motto “Be Pre
pared” and an oath that includes
the words: “to help other people
at all times.”
Jake Ryker, a 6-foot-4 wrestling
star at Thurston High School, was
sitting in the cafeteria before
classes on May 21 when a gun
man dressed in a trench coat be
gan shooting from the hip with a
.22-caliber rifle.
With a bullet in his chest and
his girlfriend bleeding at his feet,
Ryker said he noticed the shooter
had come to the end of a clip of
ammo.
“I heard that ‘click,’ and it was
as loud as if someone was banging
on a brass gong,” he said at the
time. “And then I remember
knocking him down.”
Two students died and 22 oth
ers were wounded. The alleged
gunman, 15-year-old Thurston
freshman Kip Kinkel, also is ac
cused of shooting and killing his
parents the day before the cafete
ria rampage, and leaving their
house rigged with bombs.
Since the Honor Medal with
Crossed Palms was established in
1938, only 125 have been award
ed. According to Boy Scout guide
lines, recipients must demon
strate “unusual heroism, and
extraordinary skill or resourceful
ness in saving or attempting to
save life at extreme risk to self.’
The criteria are the same for the
Honor Medal, except the risk is
defined as “considerable” instead
of extreme.
The awards will be presented
in Springfield by Jake and Josh
Ryker’s father, Robert, a Navy div
er who was also a former Eagle
Scout.
“Not only is it fitting,” said
Parker, “it’s amazing that all five
were Scouts, and two of them
were brothers.”
“The Scouts teach you leader
ship and to step up and do the
right thing when you need to do
it. I get goose bumps just thinking
about it.”
