Travel seminar analyzes
security risks for students
■ Hosteling International
is offering an examination
of travel tips and preparation
By Lisa Toth
Oregon Daily Emerald
Suresh Sampath stayed in hos
tels during her summer 1998 trip
through Mexico. But one mistake in
Isla de Mujeres left Sampath with
out any Kodak memories from his
six weeks of traveling.
“I got my camera stolen with all
the film,” he said.
Sampath said he felt safe at the
hostels where he stayed, but he
recommended that travelers use a
locker with a lock to secure their
belongings, instead of making his
mistake and not safeguarding
their possessions.
“It’s your fellow tourists that are
more likely to rob you,” he said.
But the University senior said
staying in hostels has a number of
benefits — from inexpensive ac
commodations to meeting fellow
travelers and going with them on
daily excursions.
The International Resource Cen
ter, located in the EMU’s Internation
al Lounge, will be offering a “World
Travel 101 Workshop” for interested
novices and experienced travelers
alike to learn about safety and travel
tips. The presentation, which begins
at 7 p.m., will be hosted by volun
teers Talbot Wallace and David
Schargel with Hostelling Interna
tional — American Youth Hostels.
Schargel said hostels within the
United States are one of the “best
kept secrets” in the U.S. travel in
dustry, but he said the presentation
will address more than just hostels
and what they have to offer.
“The ‘Travel 101’ workshop is
about how to stretch your travel
budget,” Schargel said, adding that
the free workshop will identify the
basics about passports and visas, as
well as how to pack, what to bring
and personal safety.
“It’s not just wearing a money
belt,” said Schargel, 37, who also
serves as a historian leading walk
ing tours in Portland.
He said Wallace will supplement
the presentation with pictures and
equipment he used on a one-year
trip around the world, from which
he recently returned.
The presenters will address how
to reserve a cheap flight and trans
portation tips such as exchanging
money in the United States before
heading to a foreign country.
“We’ll go over how to be a re
sponsible traveler — how Ameri
cans should behave in other coun
tries,” he said.
There are more than 4,500 HI
AYH hostels in 34 countries,
which all must meet a certified
style by providing accommoda
tions such as lockers, private
rooms and a shared kitchen.
Schargel said hostels were origi
nally intended to be used by
youths, orientated toward educa
tion, but now they house travelers
of all ages.
“Reservations are highly recom
mended during the summer
months,” he said.
However, travelers should pre
pare for any surprises, such as off
season festivals. In November while
traveling in Germany, Schargel said
a traveler could probably find a hos
tel to stay at without a reservation,
but during Oktoberfest in October,
it’s simply not possible.
International Resource Center
Coordinator Anne Williams said a
“revolution of travel” has changed
with the Internet, and now reser
vations at hostels can be made
completely online.
Larry Neal is a member of the HI
AYH’s board of directors as well as
an associate professor in the Office of
the Provost. Neal said he’ll be bring
ing his “Exploring Leisure” class, in
the Human Development Depart
ment, to the informal workshop.
“It’s a way of alerting students
to the expertise in the world of in
expensive, clean travel destina
tions,” he said.
Williams said students can also
visit the IRC for more information
about traveling and the related inter
national programs offered on cam
pus by visiting http://darkwing.uore
gon.edu/~irc or calling 346-0887.

Climber’s failure leads to success
■ After failing to reach the top
of K2, Greg Mortenson has
found success building
schools in Pakistan
By Robin Weber
Oregon Daily Emerald
When Greg Mortenson set off in
1993 with a group to climb K2, the
second largest mountain in the
world, he never expected he would
make it almost to the top — and
then fail to reach the peak.
He never expected two Balti men
would help him off the mountain
and welcome him to be a member of
their village.
And he never expected to start 22
schools in Pakistan while spear
heading an effort to educate girls as
a result.
Central Asia Institute Executive
Director Greg Mortenson shared his
experiences at the “Three Cups of
Tea: Cross-Cultural Lessons from
Pakistan and Afghanistan" slide
show with a full house Wednesday
night in 100 Willamette. The Uni
versity of Oregon Outdoor Program
hosted the event.
Since his maiden voyage, Morten
son has spent nine years advocating
girls' education in Afghanistan and
Pakistan, where the literacy rate is
close to 32 percent.
Mortenson told the crowd that
while recovering from the physi
cal and emotional exhaustion of

the climb, he visited a local school i
and was moved by the conditions
he saw. Children were studying in
the dirt, and the village couldn’t
pay for teachers.
‘‘Terrorism is not the
problem. The real
problem is ignorance,
misunderstanding...
unemployment and
illiteracy”
Greg Mortenson
executive director,
Central Asia Institute
And the villagers saw him.
Before long, they asked Mortenson
to help them build a school. He was
also instrumental in building a bridge
and getting eye care and a clean drink
ing water system to the area.
After returning to the United States,
Mortenson began looking for potential
sponsors to fund the project.
Of the 584 fundraising letters
Mortenson sent, he had only one
success. All 16 of his grant papers
were turned away.
Still loyal to his cause, Mortenson
did not give up.
Students in River Falls, Wis.,
where Mortenson's mother was a
principal, started a penny bank to
contribute. That bank of pennies
Abound up totaling $623.40. From
here, Mortenson sold his belongings
:or extra cash. Last minute funds
Tom Swiss physicist Dr. Jean Hoerni
lelped him meet his building budget.
The project is viewed by many as
i way to give back.
“The Outdoor Program likes to
promote getting out and having ac
countability and respect for the im
pact we have on people,” Outdoor
Program Assistant Director
Suzanne Hanlon said. “So many
people climb K2 without thinking
of the people impacted or the
garbage. It’s important to give some
thing back,” she said.
In light of recent events, Morten
son reminded the crowd that many
in Afghanistan are still wanting
peace and stability for their country,
and encouraged awareness.
“Terrorism is not the problem,”
he said. “The real problem is igno
rance, misunderstanding ... unem
ployment and illiteracy,” he said.
International studies major
Kirstin Gunderson came to hear
Mortenson for just that reason: to
become informed.
“There are a lot of different takes
on terrorism,” she said. “It has a lot
to do with delving into different
perspectives to give us a more pe
ripheral view.”
