Jeremy Forrest Paramedics apply first aid to California resident Shawn Jeffrey Connelly after Eugene Police Department officers shot him with two bean bag rounds during his flee from a bank robbery. Robbery continued from page 1 had been traveling eastbound, po lice said. Both occupants in the minivan and the woman driving the truck received minor injuries. Police said Connelly then jumped out of the minivan and proceeded to run on foot. Officers fired two bean bag rounds, which hit Connelly in the arm and leg, incapacitating him. He was arrested and briefly treated for minor injuries at Sacred Heart Medical Center along with the un known female who accompanied him. She surrendered at the scene of the crash, and the stolen money was recovered from Connelly. Several streets were closed off during the chase, including West 7th Avenue between Polk and Van Buren streets, and Tyler Street be tween West 6th and West 8th av enues. EPD spokeswoman Kerry Delf said the streets were closed so the EPD Major Collision Investiga tion Team could inspect the scene. McKee said officers could not find a weapon, even though Con nelly claimed to be armed, but that they were still searching. Mc Kee said Connelly appears to be on supervised probation out of California, but police records have not yet uncovered the reason for the probation. Connelly will be arraigned today in U.S. District Court, facing federal charges for the bank robbery and multiple felony traffic violations for the chase.

Award continued from page 1 “The award is based on community service and nontraditional students already have so many commitments outside of college.” As the ASUO nontraditional student advocate, one of Sitowski’s biggest re sponsibilities is heading the child care subsidy program. The program offers funds to student parents to assist with the high costs of child care. For many single- and two-parent families, the child care subsidy program is essen tial. Sitowski, a father of three, knows from firsthand experience what it takes to juggle a full course load with a full household. Sitowski left home at age 17 and began the life of an adult with his soon-to-be wife, while at the same time battling parental and per sonal conflicts. When he became a fa ther for the first time at age 18, his life began to turn around. “It’s been a long road,” Sitowski said. “When I had my first child, that’s when I started to realize it’s not about me anymore.” Sitowski said the next phase of his life will begin in Rio Grande, Texas, where he will receive training to teach young students in low income areas as part of the Teach for America pro gram. He and his family will move to Texas this summer, where he will study for teaching credentials. He plans to be placed at a school in Au gust. He is unsure where he will end up or even what subject he will teach, but he said he knows there is a great need for biology and chemistry teach ers. The 25-year-old said he and his wife plan to home-school their chil dren, a method he firmly believes in. “My wife is the co-earner of this award. She does the less gratifying work,” Sitowski said. “Without her, it wouldn’t be possible.” - ; The University offers a wide variety of support services for nontraditional students. It’s easy for students with other commitments, such as children, spouses or full-time jobs, to feel alien ated on a predominately young cam pus where only 13 percent of students are older than 25. Sitowski said stu dents who feel overwhelmed should contact the Nontraditional Student Union, a campus student group based on the ground floor of the EMU that can help nontraditional students ac cess services they may need to make their transition easier.
