Travel safety
Some students will seek a change of
scenery abroad. Bonaventure travel
agent Demer Merrill said students
must make sure all their documenta
tion is in order before they travel. Mer
rill said it is vital to make copies of all
travel papers, identification cards and
credit cards in case they get lost. In ad
dition, leave a copy of flight itineraries
and contact numbers with family or
friends, so they can contact you
should the need arise.
Travelers must also remember new
airport security rules enacted since
the Sept. 11,2001, terrorist attacks.
“Don’t take anything that can be
portrayed as a weapon,” Merrill said.
Only carry necessities in carry-on
luggage, she said. People must also be
prepared for random screenings and
searches by airport personnel.
While abroad, Merrill advises
students to be careful about their
surroundings.
“Be alert,” she said. “Don’t make
yourself stand out as an American
overseas.” She added even in coun
tries like England where anti-Ameri
can sentiments are not prominent,
there may still be some people who
may not be “friendly.”
The U.S. Department of State Bu
reau of Consular Affairs also advises
students to familiarize themselves
with local laws and customs before
they travel, and to avoid reckless be
havior that may endanger them or get
them into trouble.
Road safety
While road trips can be fun and ad
venturous, they can also be disastrous
if drivers are not well prepared.
AAA Eugene Office Supervisor Su
san Hemmer said people must check
to see that everything in the car is
working, from the lights to the tires,
before they set off. Emergency equip
ment is also necessary. Hemmer sug
gests road flares, traction mats,
jumper cables, blankets and extra
food and water. Other items include
cell phones, flashlights, batteries, duct
tape, tools, extra hoses and belts, and
a first aid kit, according to the Ameri
can Red Gross.
Sophomore Brett Shelby, who of
ten goes camping and four-wheel
ing, has all of these items and more
in his car. He also carries rope and a
tow cable in case he needs to pull
another car, a tarp, cans of chili and
a radio because cell phones may not
work in remote areas.
“I am always prepared so in case I
get stuck by myself, I can take care
of myself.”
Shelby also suggests having a
spare key, should you lock yourself
out of the car.
Drivers are reminded to take
breaks often so they don’t fall asleep
at the wheel, and the American Red
Gross warns drivers not to pick up
hitchhikers.
Outdoor safety
Spring break may be the perfect
time to go outdoors. However, accord
ing to Outdoor Programs Trip Facility
Manager Ed Fredette, it is important to
prepare for varying weather patterns.
“Spring break is kind of a mis
nomer,” he said. “It’s not really spring. ”
Fredette said students should al
ways take rain gear with them, even if '
the sun in shining. You should also
carry extra food and a first aid kit.
When hiking or camping in far-off
places, always let people know when
you intend to be back so they can look
for you if you are delayed, lost or hurt.
“If you don’t tell anyone that you are
gone and you don’t show up, no one
will know you’re missing,” he said.
Fredette said since it’s early in the
season, people are not in their best
physical shape and need to be aware
of their limitations when hiking or do
ing other strenuous outdoor activities.
“Don’t be overly ambitious with
your goals,” he said. “Be realistic
about your game plan. ”
Fredette said Outdoor Programs
has several brochures that can help
students plan their trips and inform
them on what they may need.
Whatever the destination, a little
caution and preparation can go a
long way to ensuring a safe return.

Say
Neon
(the poison paper)
The heavy dyes used to produce neon
colored paper, dark reds and
shades of orange (goldenrod)
contain heavy metals that are
toxic. Additionally, these
papers contaminate the
colored paper recycling
process and are recycled
as low grade paper which
often costs money to
recycle. Remember you
have a choice. Choose to
use 100% recycled
unbleached or tree-free
papers and catchy graphics
instead of toxic colors!
