The festival, spon sored by the ASUO Cultural Forum, began Thursday and wound up Saturday afternoon. After some first-day confusion was worked out, everything seemed to go as smooth as the notes from a sweet playin’ fiddler. For once the sound system sounded great and most of the acts were even on time. The strains of foik, bluegrass and country music provided a perfect background for dancing, sing ing, drinking, sunbathing and just plain relaxing. mmmmm Travel, variety, sun highlight summer school By WANDA LAUKKANEN Of the Emerald The University is expecting about 7,300 students to enroll in this year’s summer session, according to Ron Trebon, busi ness manager of the summer school pro gram. That figure is slightly more than last year’s enrollment of 7,160. About 50 per cent of that number will be new summer session students, says Trebon. The summer session has several as pects which make it different from the usual school term. For one, students may attend without being formally admitted to the University. However, those students intending to use the credit earned during the summer to meet University requirements for a degree must be formally admitted. For those not in school now, an admission form must be submitted to the Office of Admissions no later than May 19. Students already in school simply have to submit a registration request, available from the summer session office, 64 PLC. The cards must be filed by May 26 for courses that begin June 20. Summer session courses vary in length from one to eight weeks long. Under graduates can take no more than 21 hours and graduate students, no more than 15. For out-of-state students, the summer session offers some relief for the pocket book. No out-of-state tuition is charged for the term. Dormitory housing is also available dur ing the summer. Information on housing ar rangements can be obtained from the Housing Office. Summer session tirr.e schedules will be available May 15 from the registrar’s office, Oregon Hall, or from the summer session office. Several special events are offered in con junction with this year’s summer session, says Trebon. They are': • Carnival Theatre High School Apprentice Program June 20-Aug. 11 for drama stu dents ages 13 to 18. • 31st Annual High School Music Summer Session, June 18-July 1, for music students ages 13 to 18 years. • Ninth Summer Festival of Music, featuring lectures and concerts by Conductor Hel muth Rilling of Stuttgart, Germany. • Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, June 19-Aug. 12, at Charleston.
