Don’t abandon pets this summer
As the academic year winds to a close, we would like to congratulate the University of Oregon community on another successful year! We have enjoyed great support from University students, faculty and staff through volunteer time and donations. It is this continued support that enables our work on behalf of abused, neglected and unwanted animals.
Sadly, it is at these times of transition that many animals end up left in the lurch. Although most of us view our animals as companions for whom we would provide guardianship regardless of circumstances, many pets are abandoned each year when people travel, move or change jobs.
We would like to encourage everyone to accommodate their critters during this busy time of year. Provide support for friends or family members who need a helping hand. And should you find yourself with a bit of spare time on your hands during the dog days of summer, come on by for a visit. Please feel free to contact us if you need further information.

Linda Dievendorf should not be terminated
What a shame! Linda Dievendorf cannot or should not be terminated from the Cultural Forum. She is a natural leader who inspires everyone around her. She is part of what makes the University what it is and what it has been in the past.
I worked as a graphic designer for two years with Linda and the rest of the Cultural Forum staff. She helps give students opportunities they could not get in the typical University setting. I feel proud to have been able to play a part in what I consider a very influential and valuable life experience.
I urge all who read this to take the time to voice your opinions with the EMU and the Oregon Daily Emerald. Bless you, Linda.
