ROCK'N ROLL ^ AT DUFFY'S, The Cyclones Wednesday and Thursday 9:30 til! closing EORP registration plunges, parallels other area declines By Debbie Howlett Of *w EnwraM The mail-in deadline for registration in the University’s 1982 Early Orientation and Registra tion Program has passed, but first-time University students and their parents may register until the day before each of the five programs begins The program is designed to acquaint new students and their parents to the University's facilities, faculty and registration process. In operation for nearly 15 years, the program allows new students to have ‘‘one less thing to worry about” when they get to campus in the fall, program director Greg Lobisser says He outlines the sessions as having four parts — small group academic advising workshops, individual faculty advising, registration for classes and introduction to the University. "But perhaps the most subtle thing is a chance for students to measure themselves against other students," Lobisser says Despite the helpful approach, registration in this year’s program has declined about 22 per cent The decline can be attributed to a number of factors, Lobisser says Students are cutting back, deciding that if something can’t be worked into their budget, it will be EORP, he says. In addition, out-of-state students must spend more money for lodging and gas to attend, and there are smaller high school graduating classes and tighter admission standards. Lobisser says Another reason for the decling participation may be that financial aid awards haven’t been much more than tentative, and due to a tight economy, students are making certain they have the necessary funds before committing themselves, he says That provides for much indecision and un certainty about plans for next fall among the new students, Lobisser says The decline in EORP is parallelling enroll ment and housing reservation slumps, he says ‘People are waiting as long as they can to make a decision." However, Lobisser says that as of the end of June, the first two EORP sessions are “full-up” and he anticipates 1,000 students and 750 par ents to participate in five sessions The parent's programs run "parallel” to the student programs, Lobbiser says, and a chance for parents and students to get together during the program is provided Anyone interested in the program should contact the University Orientation office at 686-3218. The cost is $30 Researcher appointed assistant dean Diane Dunlap, a research as sociate at the University's Col lege of Education, was named assistant dean of the college on June 8 What’s your idea of a good bookstore?
