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.

Center helps businesses
Oregon businesses that want to expand their horizons — possibly
to Russia — are being offered a helping hand by the University’s
Russian and East European Studies Center.
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.
