Some students turn to com panies that offer aid in search ing for scholarships that fit their needs and qualifications. Sharon Sample, scholar- C ship coardinator, warns, “Of ten these (scholarship searches) are scams.” “If it really is a scholar ship search company that is legitimate they do not charge a application fee,” explained Kathy Campbell, Director of Financial Aid. “If there is an offer that you are going to get some thing it is probably a red flag to watch out for. They can’t give you anything. All they are col lecting data from donors and data from applicants and trying to match up what you might be able to apply for,” stated Campbell. “Scholarship companies can’t possibly collect enough data about you (students) to know which things to totally match you up with. That data element alone is very difficult,” explained Campbell. . “Tip offs include typing and Alternatives to recycling on campus RECYCLING from Page 1 college will continue to recycle but some other company will take the materials. It was the feeling of the board that as a demonstration-education facility, the center had been a huge success but that it had run its course and it was time to close the project.

Katrowitz has also received two awards for his work in the field of financial aid. Campbell also warns to watch for claims of money going unclaimed. “Generally speaking scholar ships do get awarded,” added Campbell. There are free sources that can be easily accessed by the stu dents. One example Campbell gave is an Internet page (http:Wwww.cs.cmu.edu/-finaid/ finaid.html) mentioned in Katrowitz’s article. This data base includes 180,000 private scholarships, fellowships, grants and loans that are available. “The three places they (stu dents) should go are public li braries, financial aid offices of the schools they would like to go to or considering and their high school councilors. It is all for free,” said Campbell. “If a person spent the time, they would find a lot more scholarships they are truly eligible for,” said Campbell. Sample added that she met one student who received ' three scholarships last year. Clackamas provides ser vices for helping students find scholarships. Students can cur rently use the CIS program to get information. A similar program, SIPS, is expected to be up and running by the end of Spring term. They provide free information on scholarships and are free. There is also a rack in front of the Fi nancial Aid office with current scholarship information.

Patty Murray, D- Wash. Murray was trying to re peal a timber rider passed last year that accelerated salvage log ging and rendered 150 future timber sales immune from envi ronmental litigation. Hatfield twisted about a half-dozen arms and with the help of Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., retained the rider, keeping the timber sales immune and the salvage logging accelerated. Then, just when you think you have the guy pegged, he an nounced two weeks later he was going to propose legislation some time in the near future to protect Opal Creek. He said he was go ing to propose kicking in $16 million to help communities sur rounding Opal Creek with their sanitation, water and other ser vice needs, probably hoping to placate local opposition to his efforts. But then Hatfield might have gone one step too far by threat ening to follow the legislative commandment, “Thou shalt not introduce legislation unencum bered by political baggage of thine own creation.” The sena tor proposed shifting 59,000 acres of federal timber lands to the Coquille Indian tribe. That could cost him support from the environmental camp who are concerned environmental pro tection will be undermined in the area, and that public access will be restricted. Regardless of the merit or lack therein of transfer ring the acreage, it could be handled with separate legisla tion. Environmental activist Andy Kerr is on record as con cerned about the transfer, but thinks environmentalists will support Hatfield’s efforts. They should. At this point, Opal Creek is a quest for environmen talists. For some local ones, it’s their Holy Grail. “I think Opal Creek holds a special place symbolically in the environmental movement,” Kerr said early last year. “If you can’t save Opal Creek, what can you save?”"
