‘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.

million to create the Carroll Visiting
