‘Shoot for Charity* to conclude today ■ For a mere buck, you can get in that free throw practice you’ve been meaning to do and contribute to a couple of worth-while charities to help someone out By Mirjam Swanson Oregon Daily Emerald These free throws will cost you a buck, but will count as an invalu able good-deed-for-the-day. Today is the final day to take part in the first “Shoot for Charity Chal lenge” taking place at the Esslinger Recreation Center from noon to 1 p.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. Anyone can participate in the event and all pro ceeds go to the Special Olympics. .- -This is how it works: $1 buys the participant three foul shots; if he or she sinks all three attempts, the shooter is entered in a drawing to win a $500 gift certificate from Val ley River Center. If he or she hits two of three shots, he or she goes away with a free T-shirt and is en tered in a drawing for a DVD play er. One of three is good for entry in a drawing for several Nike watch es. If no shots fall, the participant is entered in a drawing for gift certifi cates and Nike apparel from the Bookstore. “It’s not bad for just a buck,” event director Sean Tamashiro said. “A lot of people have been coming in. Everyone is having a lot of fun doing this and it’s for a great organization.” Oregon coaches have made ap pearances at the event, including head football and basketball coaches Mike Bellotti and Ernie Kent. “I love doing things like that for Special Olympics,” assistant women’s basketball coach Fred Litzenberger said. “This is a great deal. Free throws are something that anybody can do, it’s a chance to win some great prizes and make a con tribution to a great organization.” Tamashiro said he expects ap proximately $1,000 to be raised by the event. Endowment continued from page 1A Ford, a professor of geography from San Diego State University. He earned his doctorate in geogra phy at the University in 1970. Ford is teaching an undergrad uate course in urbanization and a seminar on the new American downtown. Ford will be at the University for spring term. He said urbanization is impor tant for students to study because most of them will end up living in cities. “Obviously we haven’t done a very good job of building cities,” he said. He listed problems with American urban areas, such as sprawl and economic and envi ronmental degradation. “We have become a ‘build and throwaway’ society,” Ford said. The professorship will fill an important instructional void in the history department. “Once professor Wade retired we were left without anyone do ing the history of urbanization,” Mohr said. Wade retired five years ago and has taught a few courses since then. The founding of the Carroll Professorship seemed typical of Wade’s character, Mohr said. “She always cared a great deal about what went on in the class room,” he said. “She has un bounded enthusiasm. Her cours es were very popular. ” The gift was the largest ever made to the University by a facul ty member, said David Begun, di rector of development for the col lege of arts and sciences. There have been several six-fig ure donations, and an economics professor donated $1 million two years ago, Begun said. Mohr said the size of Carroll’s endowment surprised him in “a wonderful way.” “This is a gift she wants to give to future undergraduates,” he said. Gifts add to univ ersity revenue Endowments such as the $1.2 million to create the Carroll Visiting Professorship in Urbanization make up one fifth of all university spending 34% — 22% r-| auxiliary enterprises, s I—I other §|| gifts, grants, contracts ■ tuition and fees ■ state appropriations SOURCE: University Fact Book _I r Used all JoMI* wick 8lK«*t Oregon's Best Buys i; On Volkswagen m 2000 VW Jetta GL 5 Speed, ABS Brakes, AM/FM Cass #W20042 Capcost$16,399.
