‘Mental Health Fair’
set for Carson Hall lobby
The Counseling and Testing
Center is hosting a “Mental Health
Fair” to discuss depression, stress
management and men’s health to
day in the Carson Hall lobby from
5 to 7 p.m.
The event is open to all resi
dence hall students. Ron
Miyaguchi, senior staff therapist
for the counseling center, said even
students who don’t live in the resi
dence halls may be allowed to at
tend the event.
Faculty and staff will share in
formation about four issues: de
pression, stress management,
self-care and men’s health. The
event replaces a series of work
shops put on by the center in past
years, Miyaguchi said. For more
information, contact Miyaguchi
at 346-3227.

LTD
continued from page 1
Westmoreland Family Housing.
The route shuttles 394,000 passen
gers each year, and students living
off West 18th Avenue will have to
use one of three indirect routes to
get to school once the 78 is cut.
“The travel time may be extend
ed 5 to 10 minutes,” Vobora said.
University student and West Eu
gene resident Andrea Decker said
she wishes LTD would keep the
route, as she rides it as often as
twice a day.
“I only have to walk two blocks to
catch my bus right now,” she said.
Vobora said LTD may consider
keeping a scaled-down version of
the 78 if enough students voice op
position to the cut.
The bus company is also cutting
hours on the 11 route, which con
nects 241,000 people each year to
the Eugene, University, Springfield
and Thurston stations.
The bus will continue to run
every ten minutes in the morning,
but will come only four times an
hour in the afternoon, when LTD
officials determined students did
n’t use it as much.
With routes on the chopping
block. University Parking and
Transportation manager Rand
Stamm said he hopes students will
go out of their way to rely on LTD’s
park-and-ride system or find a way
to campus that doesn’t involve
driving. The University sells more
than twice as many parking passes
as there are spaces, and Stamm said
parking services can’t cope with
any more cars.
LTD is also looking at rolling
back operating hours so some of the
last buses of the evening leave at
10:40 p.m. instead of 11:40 p.m.
With the University looking to
schedule classes later in the day to
accommodate increasing enroll
ment, LTD’s time change could affect
student transportation even more.
ASUO Vice President Joy Nair
said the University must take LTD
scheduling changes into considera
tion when planning later classes so
students aren’t forced to walk home
late at night without a functioning
bus service.
Nair is urging students to attend
LTD’s Feb. 28 open house, and Vob
ora said LTD wants to know what
students think about cuts to popu
lar routes such as the 78.

Gun scare
continued from page 1
Complex, was visiting friends in
Robbins Hall when the incident
occurred.
By 3:15 p.m., officers had dis
covered that the weapon was only
a BB gun. Alejandre said the stu
dent came out of his room as offi
cers were approaching and asked
what was happening. After realiz
ing that he was the focus of the
commotion, the student led offi
cers to his room and showed them
the BB gun, Alejandre said.
Students were then allowed to
return to their rooms, and the 15
officers quickly packed up and
left.
Emerald staff members Kara Cogswell,
Eric Martin, Marty Toohey and Robin Weber
