High school graduates
get head start
Incoming students with an inter
est in multicultural issues — partic
ularly Native American issues —;
will have an opportunity to get an
early start on their University expe
rience, thanks to a year-old English
department program.
The Native American Summer
Bridge Program has awarded 21 high
school graduates a free term of classes
since it began in the summer of 2000.
Each student had expressed interest
in the issue of cultural diversity dur
ing an essay contest held during their
senior year of high school.
During the summer of2000,10 stu
dents were given an all-expenses
paid, eight-week enrollment in the
program, which included English
240, “Introduction to Native Ameri
can Literature,” English 199, “Native -
American Issues,” and a specially de
signed section ofWriting 121, “Intro
duction to College Composition.”
In March 2001, University Presi
dent Dave Frohnmayer granted the
program additional funding for the
summer of 2001. Eleven students
participated in the program that
term, and by summer’s end, Univer
sity alumnus Keith Swayne had
agreed to donate $90,000 to support
10 students in the program for each
of the next three years.
According to English Professor
Richard Stevenson, the Office of
Admissions is sending information
about next summer’s program to
high school seniors.
Stevenson said he hopes that the
program will serve as “an enhance
ment of interest” in the University
for students considering where to
attend college.
High school seniors of all ethnic
backgrounds are welcome to apply.
Information is available at the Office
of Admissions. The deadline for
submission is March 29.

different now. But there are a lot
fewer people, he said.
There are still many people in
Eugene who refuse to fly.
“I hated flying before,” said Eu
gene Airport information desk em
ployee Hollie Fontaine. “Now you
couldn’t pay me to get on a plane.”
Fontaine said the new airport se
curity measures have confused
some travelers. But more often
than not, people are just phoning
in to ask how early they need to
check in.
“Some people are kind of ticked
off about it and don’t understand
why,” she said. “But most people
seem to know (about the new secu
rity measures) already.”
The security measures include

restricting checkpoint access to
ticketed passengers, which makes
it more difficult to see people off.
“It’s tough,” said Kim Van
derzanden, a student at Oregon
State University. “I’d like to be
there at the gate to welcome my
friends.”
Fontaine also agreed that tighter
security can make Thanksgiving
farewells more difficult.
“People would like to take their
family right to the gate to say good
bye,” she said.
However, by only allowing tick
eted passengers through check
points, the lines stay shorter at the
airport. This is important with
new security checks, which can in
clude random searches of cus
tomer bags and can cause the lines
to stretch around the airport.
Fontaine said that it has taken pas
sengers as long as 45 minutes to
get through security. There have
been reports of lines stretching
hundreds of yards, sometimes
reaching as far as the baggage
claim department.
Signs at security advised travel
ers to be cautious over the holi
days. Only one carry-on item is al
lowed, and all knives are
confiscated at the checkpoint, even
personal tools such as Leather
mans. Smith, the gift-shop em
ployee, said that travelers often
have to leave behind banned
items. The store offers to send
these items to the traveler’s home
address. She usually ends up send
ing 5 to 7 envelopes a day.
“We do a lot of mailing now,”
she said.
