oul Information, helping people
decide If they want to go to U
of O." Halstead said.
After that, students who have
applied and been accepted are
given a call.
"They may have been accept
ed to several different schools
and are trying to decide where
to go." Halstead said, who add
ed that it isn't (list public, rela
tions work, hut an honest at
tempt to help people plan their
future.
"Whut we try to do is give
out information that makes the
U of () look attractive, hut some
of the information wo givo out
could just as well be used to go
somewhere else," Halstead
said.
The "hard sell" approach
doesn't work, he said, and call
ers give information to help
choose the right school, which
isn’t necessarily the University.
Halstead said it doesn’t do
(ho student any good to attend
the University on false pro
tonses. They end up unhappy
and would likely leave at the
first opportunity For that rea
son. it doesn't do the Universi
ty any good either
The students who make the
calls answer questions about
the dorms, life in Uugene, class
es, sports and student pro
grams. But what makes the pro
ject work is that students
who'vo boon through it all are
the ones giving the answers.
"A lot of the people wo call
want to know how much hard
er college is than high school,
how much time you have to
spend studying," Halstead said.
"Thoy really want to hoar per
sonal experiences, Kach caller
tries to figure out whnfs of con
cern to the student and it varies
with each person."
Halstead first began working
for the OfTicu of the Dean of
Students through NSTP and
one of lust year's callers, Tara
Carpenter, ulso landed a job

with tho office after her gradua
tion in 1991.
Now an admissions counsel
or, Carpenter said in a press re
lease that the experience with
NSTP was ns much a benefit to
her as those she called.
"I realized how greatly I en
joyed letting students know
what an Incredible opportunity
higher education Is and how
much the University of Oregon
has to offer," Carpenter said.
"As an admissions counselor, I
have the same opportunity, ex
cept I got to do it full-time.
NSTP is an extraordinarily
helpful and rewarding experi
ence for both the staff and in
coming students."
Halstead said the positive
feedback is a testament to that.
"We've had parents call and
say how great this is, that they
didn't know we did this. And a
lot of students who end up
working for us do it because
they remember getting that call
themselves," he said. “IPs un
usual for a college of our size to
do this type of thing, but peo
ple havo really expressed to us
that they appreciate it."
