Oregon popular choice
for exchange students
By HAL McCUNE
Ol the Emerald
It’s just as important to meet people and see
the country as it is to graduate, according to one
student taking advantage of the National Student
Exchange program.
“I’ve always wanted to get out of state and
maybe see the East Coast," says Melanie Rose, a
journalism major at the University, who will attend
the University of Delaware in the fall.
The program offers students up to one year at
another major American university. Rose, like
other exchange students, is responsible for travel
costs, but will pay in-state tuition.
“Students can get valuable academic and
social experiences with no additional expense
other than travel,” says Joe Wade, associate
director of the Universty’s NSE program. “It’s a
real Advantage for students to be able to sample
other academic programs and be exposed to
other theories and curriculums.”
Rose plans to get her money’s worth on her
trip east and admits Delaware was a strategic
choice.
"It was my first choice. Delaware is near New
York, Washington D C., and Philadelphia,” she
says. “I’m planning a lot of excursions.”
And Wade says Oregon and the University
are attractive lures to students at eastern univer
sities. The University has the third largest
program among the 54 universities in the NSE
network.
“This fall we will have about 150 students
coming in and 140 exchanging to other
campuses,” Wade says.
Orchestrating those exchanges can be com
plicated, Wade says. Students have already been
placed for the coming school year, but the
process will begin again fall term.
To be eligible for the program, a student must
be an Oregon resident with an accumulated
grade point average of at least 2.5. Wade says
students should plan to exchange during their
sophomore or junior year.
The University exchanges with 35 of the
program’s 54 schools. Students who want to
exchange must complete an application by early
February, listing three schools in order of prefer
ence.
The NSE directors from each school meet
toward the end of March each year to decide who
will go where.
“It's a matter of negotiation,” Wade says.
“It’s like a big brokers’ convention. There are
three rounds for placing students, and it takes
three days.”
According to Wade, there is a lot of wheeling
and dealing at the placement convention. How
ever, he is quite adept at negotiating, and of the
131 names he took to the NSE convention last
March, 116 received their first choices.
Wade’s job is easy because of the attractions
of the University, Eugene and the Northwest in
general.
Jina Fusco, an exchange student from the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst, found
Oregon so appealing she considered transferring
to the University for her senior year.
“Oregon was my first choice," she says of her
NSE application. “Back east, the West Coast has
a kind of mystical aura about it. I wanted to see it
for myself, and I think Eugene is great."
Fusco plans to stay in Eugene for summer
term and hopes to return to Oregon in the future.
“It’s been a great exchange," she says. “It’s
good to get out on your own and meet new people
and see new places.”
Jail break investigation ordered
PORTLAND (AP) — An investigation has been
ordered to find out why seven prisoners, including
a convicted murderer, managed to escape from
Multnomah County's Rocky Butte Jail here Friday
even though officials found their escape route in
advance
Five of the escapees, all considered dangerous,
remained at large Sunday. Two other escapees
were captured Saturday night, within several
miles of the jail, authorities said.
County Corrections Administrator Robert
Hatrak asked investigators to find out why the
inmates’ escape route was left unguarded Friday
night after a cut window was found on the jail’s
second story.

The seven prisoners, all from the Portland area,
escaped from the after cutting a 9-by-12-inch hole
in the window’s steel bars.
Sgt. Gary Walker, spokesman for the Correc
tions Division, said jail officials got an anonymous
tip about 8:30 p.m. Friday about a planned
escape. He said guards then found the cut win
dow, but no guards were posted to watch it.
Walker said the escape was discovered during
a 10-p.m. bed check, but other inmates in the cell
said the check wasn't made until 11 p.m. They
said the inmates escaped at about 9:30 p.m.
Investigator Richard Haug has been asked to
find out why a guard was not posted outside the
cut window.
