Thousands of scholarships
are available.
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. .

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.
PLACES TO RECYCLE
The recycling center at ELC
may be closed, but many other
recycling center it helped inspire
are still running in Clackamas
County. Here are a few of them:

complimented Katrowitz on his
knowledge. 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.

Opal Creek’s fate in question
CREEK from Page 2
efforts of Sen. 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?”"
