E-mail: awt@luv2travel.com Free legal advice open to students ■ Many students are unaware that legal advice on many issues is available to them and is free of charge By Simone Ripke Oregon Daily Emerald If legalese is not part of your foreign language repertoire, ASUO Legal Services can help you make your case. University students who pay incidental fees are eligible for free legal assistance as long as the ad verse party is not another Univer sity student, faculty or staff. Ilona Koleszar, one of the two staff attorneys at Legal Services, said landlord-tenant disputes, family law issues and misde meanor criminal charges are the three most common issues stu dents seek legal assistance for. Koleszar said her clients’ needs range from a quick question that often lacks a quick answer to ad vice and representation in longer lasting cases. Many cases are re solved through negotiations and only a few go to trial. “There are usually a number of negotiation options that typically result in the resolution of the case,” Koleszar said. She said she avoids going to court as much as possible as it is costly and time consuming and neither fits stu dents schedules or budgets. In cases where the adverse par ty is another University entity, Le gal Services refers students to Conflict Resolution Services, lawyers in the community or Le gal Aid Service of Lane County. Legal Services is funded by inci dental fees and a minor amount of fund-raising. Koleszar said she enjoys work ing for students and their wide ranging needs. “Students are a great group to work for,” she said. “Every day is new and exciting.” Koleszar feels that the public has a misconception about who students are and what kind of fi nancial resources they have at their disposal. She considers some of the fines coming from students pockets into those of the courts too high. Koleszar said students are ener getic and willing to do some of their own “leg work” when it comes to researching their cases. Two law clerks, an assistant di rector and four work study secre taries currently support the two staff attorneys at Legal Services by doing administrative work and le gal research. Koleszar said approximately 1,200 students take advantage of Legal Services every year. Linda Miller, assistant director at Legal Services, said students have a different outlook on many issues. Miller said the motto at Le gal Services is “We fight long and hard for 10 bucks.” She said the staff at Legal Services know that $10 can be a lot of money to a stu dent. ASUO President Wylie Chen said students are often taken ad vantage of, especially when it comes to landlord-tenant issues in a university neighborhood. He said Legal Services is an impor tant voice for University students. “It is crucial that we have some way to protect students,” Chen said. Stayner finally charged in Yosemite sightseers case MARIPOSA, Calif. — A motel handyman who investigators say con fessed to killing three Yosemite National Park sightseers in February was charged Wednesday with their murders. Cary Stayner, 38, was charged with three counts of murder that could bring the death penalty. Investigators said Stayner confessed in late July to killing Carole Sund, 42, her daughter Juli Sund, 15, and their Argentine friend Silv ina Pelosso, 16, while the three were visiting the park in February. He also allegedly confessed to beheading Joie Ruth Armstrong, a 26 year-old Yosemite naturalist, on July 21. The Sunds and Pelosso were last seen alive at the Cedar Lodge motel where Stayner worked. Stayner was also charged with burglary, rob bery, forcible oral copulation and attempted rape. Stayner was arrested at a nudist camp two days after Armstrong’s slaying and was later charged with her murder. The Associated Press
