CkjOjr What do you want to do in the Student Government Association next semester?
"I would like to get the student
body more involved in student gov-
ernment. My big initiative will be
to get the senators, interns, and my
staff to go out and actively get
people involved in our
organization."

Police search or hristmas-tree-hunting couple
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) —
Searchers combed dark and
snowy forests near the crest of
the Cascade Range in southern
Oregon on Wednesday night for
a couple who told their kids they
were off to cut down a special
Christmas tree but did not
return.
Police said Jennifer, 38, and
Keith Lee, 36, of Medford set out
Tuesday morning in their elec-
tric blue, all-wheel-drive Subaru
but told no one where they were
going. Keith Lee is diabetic, a
relative said.
The couple did tell their four
kids, ages 8 to 18, that they hoped
to bring back a silvertip fir, a
prized tree found only at high
elevations.
"We still don't know where
they're at, but we're going to
spend all night looking," said
Jackson County Sheriff's Lt. Pat
Rowland. "We'll saturate this
area the rest of the night with
Sno-Cats and AT Vs."
The search focused on the high
Cascades between Medford and
Klamath Falls after police found
a piece of paper in the couple's
home with the numbers 140 and
37 written on it, an apparent
reference to two highways that
intersect at Fish Lake near the
crest of the mountains, police
Sgt. Mike Budreau said.
"It's cold weather and not a
lot of snow, but there's ice out
there," making backcountry
roads treacherous, said Rowland.
"If the car tipped over, it's not
going to be easy to spot."
Helicopter and ground
searches turned up nothing in
the Siskiyou Mountains south
of Medford, where the couple
got stuck for four hours while
getting their tree last year,
Budreau said.
A helicopter joined the search
in the Cascades until darkness
fell, Rowland said.
Like thousands of Oregonians
each year, the Lees bought their
Christmas tree permit from the
local national forest office and
headed into the mountains,
police said. They first went tree-
hunting Monday but didn't find
what they wanted, so they set out
again Tuesday after the kids went
to school. Jennifer Lee asked a
friend to pick up their 8-year-
old daughter.
Each year, searches are
mounted for a few who get
stranded or lost while hunting
for Christmas trees in Oregon,
Rowland said.
Keith Lee's uncle said his
nephew was familiar with the
woods from frequent camping
trips and back country motor-
cycle riding, was good with cars,
being the manager of an auto
parts store; and always carried
a cell phone.
"He loves the woods," Hill said
just before leaving for Medford
from Sacramento, Calif., where
Keith Lee lived before moving to
Oregon two years ago.
"And he loves to rough it a lot.
That's why I'm not too worried
about him at this point," said
Hill, a retired civilian employee
on an Air Force base.
"But the one who hasn't done
a lot of camping is his wife,
Jennifer. And what really scares
me about him is he's diabetic
now. If he forgot his insulin or
something like that, it might be
dangerous"

A frightening moment
happened Saturday night as
Freshman Dirk Polston pulled
his last $20 bucks out of a local
downtown ATM. His account
balance was zero.
"I swear there was
$15,000 in there just a few
months ago," stammered the
stunned student. "But I think I
know where it went." Dirk
then rubbed his belly which
was sticking out just a little
below his shirt.
In order to make it
through the rest of the semester
until his next loan kicks in,

While some considered
the slogan gimmicky, the
testimonials spoke for
themselves. And there's no
cheating that.

Junior Mick McComielly has
decided that he will no longer
buy anything. Instead, he says
with confidence, "I'm gonna
rent."
Mick tells the story of
renting his apartment, which is
"waaaaay cheaper than buying
one", which led to renting
movies, renting cars and even
renting his textbooks. "Once I
found out I could rent
textbooks, I was like, duh, this
is the future."
While Mick hasn't had
h success, he's determined
ind a way. The Junior is
ently negotiating rental
ements for food, tuition,
k massages and toiletries.
I could rent all that, I'm
ty certain I wouldn't ever

that for me too."
What began as a typical
dining-out experience quickly
turned into a scary situation
yesterday when sophomore
Danny Rivers and his friends
realized that the Italian restau-

lunch... was completely

Danny managed to tell the
waiter that he and his friends

much to everyone's surprise.
"It was a good day,"
