et al Fiction writer to lecture Ursula LeGuin, leading science fiction and fantasy writer, will meet informally with students this afternoon and give an evening lecture. “She’s very fond of working with studentg," says English Prof. George Wi ekes. The informal session starts at 3 p.m. in the EMU Forum Room. LeGuin was tapped for the Henry Failing Distinguished Lecture Series, Wickes says. She will read from her works and comment on them during an 8 p.m. talk in Room 167, EMU. “She's thinking of reading some of her poems as well as her prose,” Wickes says. “My hope is that she ll be reading from some of her work in progress.” Her works include “The Left Hand of Darkness" and “The Dispos sessed,” for which she received the Hugo and Nebula awards, "The Earth Trilogy," and “Orsian Tales.” LeGuin is the only science fiction writer to win two Hugo and Nebula awards. “She’s one of the top science fiction writers—the best, it seems to me, that we’re likely to hear around here,” Wickes says. The University’s Failing lecture series is supported through a be quest made in memory of Portland banker Henry Failing, who served as an early chairer of the University’s Board of Regents. The series has brought prominent artists and scholars to the campus since 1948. New registrar appointed Emily Golster of Boone, North Carolina, has been appointed as sociated registrar at the University and will assume the duties on April 1. The position became vacant when Wanda Johnson was appointed registrar last July. At present, Gloster is director of the Division of Computer-Based School Services, College of Continuing Education, Appalachian State University. She holds bachelor's and master’s degrees from the Univer sity of Tennessee at Knoxville and the Ed. D. degree from Nova Univer sity, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. At Oregon, Gloster will be responsible primarily for student informa tion systems and registration processes. She will hold the rank of associate professor. Peer advisers expand program The University’s Student Paraprofessional Program, started three years ago as a means of providing under graduates with trained student advisors, has recently undergone considerable expansion, particu larly in the areas of academic ad vising and the counseling of older students. The recent inclusion of “peer advisers" in the psychology and sociology departments marks the first time University paraprofes sionals have assisted in purely academic counseling, says coun selor Jane Degidio. Prior to this, she says, paraprofessionals worked primarily through student services offices. The philosophy supporting the academic peer advising program, DeGidio says, is that some stu dents will be more corpfortable with, and receptive to advice of fered by persons of similar age with similar problems, DeGidio says. DeGidio also has been instru mental in the establishment and coordination of “Lifelong Learn ing,” a program started in the fall which provides trained peer ad visors to older students returning to college. f GRAB LUNCH ON THE RUN I' '""——W EMU Food Service Trailer 9:30-2:00 Library Turnout sandwiches yogurt soda donuts fruit candy juice milk bagels with cream cheese dailyemerald The Oregon Daily Emerald is published Monday through Friday a*-' oept during exam weeks and vacations, by tie Oregon Daily Emerald Publishing Go .

James Rice, University German and Russian professor and center director, says he is inviting Oregon firms interested in doing business in the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries to discuss their ideas with members of the center who are familiar with the business and social structure of ‘'eastern block” countries. Rice said center members can, in some cases, help businesses plan for trade missions and in conducting research, negotiations and briefing sessions on social and political issues relating to their foreign business interests. Familiarity with the political and national consciousness of the foreign countries is apt to make American business representatives better prepared to make business proposals, Rice says. There is no charge for general discussion sessions with members of the center. Interested persons can contact Rice in Room 202, Friendly Hall, 686-4060. EIS workshop planned The University Survival Center and the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group will sponsor a workshop on environmental impact statements tonight at 7:30 in the EMU, room to be posted. This program is designed to help the citizen who is stymied by the EIS process, which has become so confusing that it discourages rather than encourages public participation. There will also be a discussion on the National Environmental Protection Act and on the process a citizen can use to appeal an unwise management decision. peanuts ® 1 SOME H'EARS AGO,I EN6A6EP PASSAGE FROM CHARLESTON TO TME CITV OF NEU) H'ORK..."
