Emerald promotes staffer to summer editor position ■ Senior Andrew Adams was selected to take the helm of the paper this summer By Kara Cogswell Oregon Daily Emerald For Andrew Adams, one of the best parts of being a journalist is finding stories in unexpected places. “It’s not always the biggest, breaking story that’s the most im portant,” he said. “Every person is interesting, and every person has a story.” Adams, who is currently the higher education editor at the Ore gon Daily Emerald, will soon have a new outlet for his journalistic en thusiasm. The Emerald board of di rectors announced Tuesday night that he will be the 2001 summer editor. A senior journalism major at the University, Adams has long been interested in the newspaper busi ness. He has worked at the Sonoma Index-Tribune in Sonoma, Califor nia, and at the East Oregonian in Pendleton as a reporting intern. He has also been active in jour nalism at the University. Last year, he worked at the Oregon Commen tator, a campus publication, first as a reporter and then as the managing editor. And in the spring of 2000, he joined the Emerald staff as a re porter. Board Chairman Larry Tergesen said that Adams’ experience was a factor in the board’s decision. “We liked his ideas and his expe rience,” he said. “He seemed like a real solid selection.” Board members were also im pressed with Adam’s ideas for the direction the paper should take in the summer. “He’s really going to try to in volve students and the community as a whole, and I think that’s a real ly good approach,” production rep resentative Melissa O’Connell said. Because there is less activity on campus during the summer, Adams said he will try to incorpo rate more community stories into the paper. But while he will experi ment with new ideas, he said he doesn’t want to change the focus of the paper. “A big part of the summer will be maintaining the quality we have here,” he said. The summer editor position be gins June 12 and runs through Sept. 14. The 2001-02 editor, Jessica Blanchard, will return in the fall. She was unable to take the summer editor position because of an in ternship. Is that a bulge in your crust? PORTLAND — A significant bulge in the earth’s crust has de veloped over the past four years near volcanoes in central Oregon, but it’s not clear whether it could mean a volcanic eruption any time soon, geologists said Tues day. The bulge — nine to 12 miles across and about 4 inches high — was detected by satellite radar, said Willie Scott, a USGS scientist at the agency’s volcano lab in Vancouver, Wash. “Because it’s a volcanic area, and there’s been a long history of volcanic activity in that part of the Cascades, it’s possible it might be magma — or molten rock — mov ing deep underground,” Scott said. The bulge is located near the Three Sisters, a trio, of volcanoes at the center of the Cascade Range in Oregon. The uplift in Central Oregon is too broad and low to be noticed from the ground. The USGS scientists discovered the bulge through use of a relatively new technique called satellite radar interferometry, which uses satellite data to create images of the Earth’s surface. Images taken at different times can be used to detect changes of even a few inches in the elevation of the ground. Scientists have looked across the West for signs of bulges, but this is the first prominent change on record using this technique. “There’s nothing as striking as this one,” Scott said. “This is quite a prominent uplift.” “But there’s nothing right now that makes us think there’s an im minent danger” of an eruption, he said.
