Program to orient new students By Mike Drummond CM tbr Kmrrald Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan fans won't be the only ones in vading the campus community next Sunday. Beginning July 19 the University will be more crowded as nearly 1.650 newly admitted students and some 1,110 of their parents par ticipate in the Early Orientation Registration Program. The program, which runs through Aug. 1. offers registra tion in lower division classes and campus orientation for in coming freshmen. The same thing happens (lur ing EORP as during fall registra tion. Yet the program differs in that EORP is more personalized and students are not rushed, said Roger Morris. EORP orien tation director. There's peer advising, academic advising, as well as full registration included in EORP. Morris said. “When they (entering freshmen) walk away in |uly, they will have all their lower division classes for the fall.” he added. Classes will be pro-rated or rationed in order to leave room for students participating in fall registration, so there will be undergraduate classes available, Morris said Although Morris maintains there should be no problem for fall registration applicants try ing to get classes, he and the University do face an im mediate hurdle — the traffic and throngs of people schedul ed to descend on the Eugene area for the Grateful Dead/Bob Dylan concert on July 19. as well as rt>ad construction along 1-5 just north of Eugene. Traffic: and room accommoda tions will Ik! a problem. Morris said, but to help alleviate the situation, his office has maded letters to prospective EOKP par ticipants advising them of alter nate routes to lake to the University in addition to warn ing participants of room shortages. Students and parents have the option of staying at the Bean Complex dormitories, but so far only 114 people have decided to take the University up on its of fer. The school has enough rooms to accommodate most everyone participating in the EOKP program. Morris said Thus far, nearly 300 Universi ty faculty and staff have! volunteered to assist with EORP. including professors, cooks, registrars and advisors. Morris said. Some professors will hold mock-classes for visiting parents, offering typical course lectures and question and answer sessions. Nearly 50 students are among the volunteer staff. Morris said. One of those students. FORP intern Steve Frichette. helped with last year's program and currently is working on "special projects" for FORI’. A self-described gopher with FORI’. Frichette assembles in formation packets about the University for incoming freshmen and their parents "1 like orientating new students it gives me a fresh perspective on the University.” Frichette said. FORI’ is a 20-year old pro gram. anil despite the extra work involved in organizing and operating it during the off season. FORI’ is a program the University likes. Morris said F.ORP enjoys a OH percent matriculation rate, meaning most of the FORI’ applicants return to attend the University in the fall, Morris said. Four two-day programs are scheduled on July 10-20. 23-24. 20 27 and July 31 Aug 1 A one-day session fix using only on academic advising and registration is set for July 25. Although the deadline for F.ORP registration was last Wednesday, JoFIlyn Murillo, a University student and reserva tion intern for FORP. said the orientation office will still take applications as long as space re mains available. F’or more information, contact the Orientation Office, at 080-3218 Committee extends search deadline The search for a new ASIJO exeuctive coordinator will In? reopened because search com mittee members were unable to come to an agreement last week, said ASUO President kasey Brooks Brooks said the search com mittee had the finalists cut down to eight and conducted second interviews with four of those finalists. A decision was made, but that person was unable to accept the position, she added. Brooks has extended current ASUO Executive Coordinator Susan So wards' contract until the end of August, when she hopes the committee will lie able to reach an agreement, she said. Sowards' contract was originally set to expire on July 31. Before starting the search again, Brooks said the commit tee members must come to an agreement on a definition of the executive coordinator position "We has some very qualified people apply," she said “But I think before we search again we need to try to define the posi tion further in light of what we have learned during the first search." Brooks added part of the dif ficulty in deciding stemmed from the fact many different ap plicants offered different qualifications and strenghts to the position. The committee, comprised of Brooks. Incidental !•'•>«; Commit tee members Sandra Thompson and Armando Morales. ASliC) Programs Coordinator Mike Sistrom and KMU Associate Director Prank Celtner, was unable to prioritize those qualities, she said Et al. INTERVIEWS The Career Planning and Placemen!
