sneak view of University
By CAROLYN BEAVER
Of the Emerald
Potential students will get a
view of the University’s various
programs and services Saturday
at the annual UO Preview.
The preview allows persons in
terested in attending the Univer
sity and their parents to learn
more about the school through
participation in various campus
activities including campus tours,
academic planning sessions with
faculty and staff and extracurricu
lar informational meetings.
From 8 to 9 a.m., prospective
students register and may opt for
a tour of the campus, library or Art
Museum. Academic sessions
begin at 9:15 a.m. Prospective
students will choose three areas
of interest and visit faculty from
departments or schools across
campus. Each session lasts 40
minutes.
An educational planning ses
sion that can be substituted for an
academic visit with faculty is an
added feature. The planning ses
sion will include suggestions
about “how to put it all together
and come up with the major you
want.’’ Separate sessions for par
ents and students will be held.
In the afternoon, students and
parents may attend three special
interest meetings, each lasting 30
minutes. The session topics range
from career planning and Univer
sity housing to music, theater and
dance activities.
After a thorough inspection of
the academic and extracurricular
opportunities, participants can
relax and talk to students and fa
culty at a mixerfrom 3:30 to 5 p.m.
in the EMU. Several University liv
ing organizations will have open
Clark Review hopes
for undergrad work
By MELODY WARD
Of the Emerald
Poets, short story writers and artists are encouraged to submit
original works to the Clark Corner Literary Review.
The magazine, sponsored by the Honors College, is co-edited by
Bob Alexander and Rob McSweeny.
“This is completely a student effort,” says McSweeny. “It’s the only
source of publication that most undergraduates can submit works to.”
McSweeny says last year’s issue was small because of a money
shortage.
“Although we received a ponderous amount of material, after six
editing sessions we were able to stay within a 46-page limit,” he recalls.
"But we still went $150 into the red.”
This year, McSweeny predicts money will be no obstacle.
“We’ve received some money from the alums, which the Honors Col
lege has promised to match. So while the cost to purchasers will remain
below a buck, the magazine itself will be more professional looking," he
explains. “This year we have the freedom to print as much material as
meets our standards.”
Six readers independently assess the works. Final decisions about
what will be published are made by the editors. McSweeny admits that
standards are subjective, but stresses that every work is individually
considered by each reader to insure maximum fairness.
What type of material will the review look for?
“The artist must gracefully convey the real aspects of things to the
audience,” McSweeny says. “The editor’s job is to distinguish what is
graceful.”
Submissions should be delivered to the Honor's College office in
the basement of Friendly Hall. All material should be typed, proof
read and accompanied by the author’s name, phone number and ad
dress, all written on a separate sheet of paper. All selections will be
made without the readers knowing the author’s name.
Deadline for submission is March 13. The magazine will be on sale
in May.

"Many people jump to the con
clusion that this program is for
high school students only," says
Vernon Barkhurst, associate dean
of Student Administrative Ser
vices. Barkhurst says the program
aims towards potential transfer
students, too. Separate admis
sions and financial aid informa
tional meetings in the afternoon
reflect that aim.
Attendants will have a chance
to talk to University students dur
ing the day , during tours and ex
tracurricular meetings, says Bar
khurst. During lunch at the dor
mitories, students will “table
hop .. . socializing, or just being
helpful.”
For the first time the program is
included in the University’s
budget. “In the past, potential stu
dents paid for it with their own
fees. Now we do it as a service,”
Barkhurst says. The only cost in
curred is an optional lunch.
During the 1960s, Barkhurst
says, there was a “glut of stu
dents,” and "some people ques
tioned the program." The “mar
ket" is now changing and Univer
sity officials have recognized the
preview as a valuable recruiting
program.
“Let’s face it,” says Barkhurst.
“We need them worse than they
need us.”

Symposium to look
at women’s issues
By DINA MILES
Of the Emerald
Thanks to budget approval by the IFC, plans for the upcom
ing Women s Symposium at the University are beginning to
take shape, according to Symposium Coordinator Donna
Shepard.
Last week the IFC granted the symposium committee s re
quest for $3,500, and Shepard says the money will be put to work
to cover “bureaucratic" necessities, such as costs of printing
programs, set-up fee in the EMU, travel costs for bringing speak
ers and audio-visual costs.
While no theme has been established yet, Shepard says a
variety of women s issues will be discussed at the April 10-15
symposium through workshops, panels and guest speakers.
These topics include women in the Legislature as well as women
and work, violence, sports, arts and media. Other discussions will
focus on older women, child care and parenting and gay women.
“I feel that we ll be able to deal with a very balanced view
point of the women s experience,” Shepard notes, adding that a
special emphasis is that for most of the symposium, almost every
event is free of charge.
Plans are also in the making for showing free films dealing
with women's issues and for setting up an ongoing art show,
featuring quilts, batik, sculpture and paintings by mostly local
women artists. Shepard also hopes to arrange for an eight-piece
classical music group from Portland to perform during the week.
She says the symposium is seeking a co-sponsor to bring that
women’s group to Eugene.
While organizing the event takes many hours of work,
Shepard says the symposium still could use the help of anyone
interested in working on a committee to deal with a women's
issue. Meetings for interested persons are held each Tuesday
evening at 6:30 in the EMU, room to be posted. They are no
longer on Thursday afternoons, as previously announced.
Shepard says anyone interested should stop by Suite 4 in the
EMU, or call her at 686-3724. Persons are asked to fill out a form
indicating what type of help they wish to offer and the deadline for
returning these forms is Feb. 6. She says this will allow commit
tees to organize a preliminary time schedule for the event.
