I don’t like it at all. I t ’s real
bad in North Portland. You have
to transfer twice just to get down
town. The Owl Service doesn’t
run as often as it used to and the
new system doesn’t seem any
faster.
T ri-M et instituted their new five-zone
fare system and the Street Beat team was
there to record the fare-payers' reactions
to the new system.

I t ’s not doing anything for me.
I t ’s just benefiting T ri-M e t. The
new buses are big and look nice
but 1 don’t think it’s worth the
new fare. The new routes are very
confusing. 1 just got used to the
old system and now I have to
learn the new one. I wish they
would go back.
I t ’s a big inconvenience. It
takes half an hour longer to get to
school. Everyone I ’ve talked to
feels the same way. I have to take
my daughter to the sitter and it’s
not convenient. 1 might as well
drive my car.

I haven’t encountered any
problems, but I have to get fam il
iar with the routes. I t ’s an incon
venience that they did away with
*29. But when citizens get fam il
iar with the set-up it will work
very nicely.

I ’ll just go along with it.

I like it. 1 buy a monthly pass
and just walk on. I hate that the
*6 doesn’t go to Jantzen Beach.
They need a double bus on the *6
because it’s always crowded and
it causes the driver to pass you
up.

Book features Black Princesses
Lenora C. Morris has announced

which is the result o f extensive re

State University Black Studies De

The book is published by Morris

established to provide non-tradi-
tional scholarships. Publications on
Black history in Oregon will help fi
nance the scholarships.
"W e seek to protect the culture
and historical sense o f this minority
group through education,” Ms.
Morris said. “ The recipients o f this
program will be individuals who
under normal circumstances cannot
afford to continue their education,
or who might have to defer addi
tional education because o f unex
pected financial burdens. These re
cipients may be single parents with
no work experience. To prepare
them to enter the work force may in
volve training in a specific skill, ex
perience in that career, and the
proper self-image. In many cases,
volunteer internships will be re
quired prior to or in conjunction
with the skill training. This allows
Wyden seeks interns
College students looking for a
hands-on experience in government
service can find one at Oregon Con
gressman Ron Wyden’s Portland
office.
Wyden this week said his office
has openings for three college-age
interns for fall and winter terms.
Interns accepted into the program
will have an opportunity to work on
casework, community projects, leg
islative research and resource devel
opment, Wyden said.
“ The government desperately
needs an influx o f new blood and
new ideas,” the freshman Democrat
said. "B y working in a Congression
al office, college students can get a
taste for what government service is
like and find out if that’s a career
they’d like to pursue.”
Resumes should be sent to W y
den’s Portland office by October 1.
The mailing address is P .O . Box

Nationwide, 33 percent o f enter
ing full-time freshmen drop out dur
ing their first year, the report says.
“ It is projected that only four out of
10 entering freshmen are likely to re
ceive a bachelor’s degree from the
same institution they started at
within four years. And although the
remainder may transfer schools and
eventually finish, three out o f 10 are
likely never to obtain a bachelor’s
degree.
"W hen using a four-year time
period as a base, women usually
persist (continue) in college at a
higher proportion than men; how
ever, more men usually complete de

As the number o f high school
graduates decreases (as it has in Ore
gon for the past six years), colleges
and universities have three alterna
tives in coping with retrenchment,
the report noted. These arc: increase
the number o f traditional college-
going students, increase the number
of adult learners, and/or reduce the
drop-out rates. “ Many universities
have taken on the task o f examining
the attrition and retention o f current
students, who have often been over
looked as universities focus on
searching for new students.”
