New guide simplifies research ■ A new collection of scholarship materials will help facilitate hunt for financial aid By Amy Jennaro Oregon Daily Emerald Students interested in Universi ty scholarships now have a more comprehensive source for infor mation. The newly distributed Univer sity of Oregon Scholarship and Award Guide provides students with the opportunity to find infor mation about general university and departmental scholarships in one place. The guide will be available to students in several forms. The hard copy of the booklet is avail able at the Office of Student Finan cial Aid and various academic de partments. In addition, the guide will soon be posted on the Univer sity home page. According to the Associate Vice President for Student Academic Affairs, Jim Buch, the booklet has been in production for a year. • “ [The guide] provides an oppor tunity for the University to demonstrate for students and their family the type of things that are available here,” Buch said. The booklet was produced by a partnership between the Office of Donor Relations, the Department of Admissions, the Office of Pub lic Affairs and Development and all the academic departments, said Duncan McDonald, Vice Presi dent for Public Affairs and Devel opment. it is a wondertul piece oi mate rial and a wonderful example of teamwork,” said McDonald. According to McDonald, the guide will not only provide stu dents with the opportunity to get more information on scholarships, but will also give the University a useful tool to recruit high school seniors. He said the guide will be sent out to all Oregon high schools over the next year. “We are really trying to keep students in Oregon,” he said. “We want to let students know that the University is more affordable than they may think.” McDonald added that the ex panding number of scholarships generated through the five-year Oregon Campaign, a massive fund-raising campaign for the Uni versity which concluded last year, also increased the need for a one source scholarship guide. With the booklet being placed on the web, the University also will have the opportunity to up date the guide regularly for new scholarships or changes, said Buch. Buch said a decision hadn’t been made about how often the hard copy would come out. “We want to get a sense of the response. If it is very high, we may want to put it out on an annual ba sis,” he said. Buch also said he hoped the booklet would spark new dona tions to the University. “This is just one way donors and potential donors can see the variety of ways their money can help students.” But Buch added that even though there were a variety of rea sons for putting out the guide, there was one important goal he hopes would be accomplished. “The concern always is that we have available to students the best and most up-to-date informa tion,” he said. Police find marijuana in duffel bag along 1-84 HERMISTON, Ore. (AP) — It wasn’t until the dust settled from a blinding windstorm that piled up cars and trucks in deadly ac cidents along Interstate 84 that police found four duffel bags brimming with up to 150 pounds of high-quality marijuana. The bags had been stashed next to a fence along the freeway, where the series of chain-reac tion accidents killed six people and injured more than 20 others Saturday. A seventh person, Rod die Sage, 69, of Kennewick, Wash., died Monday at St. Mary’s Hospital in Walla Walla, Wash. Oregon State Police Sgt. Dale Breshears said investigators are fairly sure the drugs were dumped along the road after the pileups slowed traffic on the free way to a halt — and that whoever left the bags planned to come back for the goods. “Whoever it was thought they were going to get caught with the stuff,” Breshears said. Tony Atkins, an officer with the Blue Mountain Enforcement Narcotics Team, said the bags contained 140 to 150 pounds of top-grade pot with a street value of between $500,000 and $600,000. “It’s not like the stuff that we normally see here in Pendleton,” Atkins said. “It looked like good bud.” At least one person has come forward saying they saw some one carrying something toward the fence, Breshears said. The bags were found Saturday afternoon when a Pendleton-area man saw something blue in the wheat stubble he thought was a coat. Unzipping one bag, he found bundles of cellophane wrapped marijuana inside. Officers aren’t saying if they know who the driver was or if the vehicle was involved in any of the pileups that clogged the road. But it would be unlikely, Bres hears said, that someone at the crash site would leave the pot be hind if they could drive away from the scene. ^erlach’s" MEW!
