“If they do not attend, they
cannot register for classes,” she
said.
As well as the academic advis
ing, Winter said freshmen en
rolled in Freshmen Interest
Groups should attend their FIG's
pre-term meeting.
“This gives [freshmen] a
chance to start the year out right
and meet everybody in the
group,” Winter said. “It will be
nice to see a familiar face as they
walk into the first class of their
college career.”
Although much of WOW’s fo
cus is on incoming students, all
returning students are encour
aged to participate in the many
activities offered throughout the
week.
During WOW, the Knight Li
brary will offer tours of the build
ing. This will take the worry and
stress out of the confusion one may
face during the year when library
use becomes crucial, Winter said.
“This will get the ‘I’m behind’
feelings out of the way," Winter
said. “Students may feel more
comfortable."
In conjunction with WOW
meetings and programs, the EMU
will be hosting a passport game
that will allow students to be
come acquainted with the facili
ties in the building, said Linda
Dievendorf, Cultural Forum pro
gram advisor.
“We would like to develop a
sense of belonging in the EMU,”
Dievendorf said.
In the passport game, students
will visit a certain location and
receive a stamp on his or her
passport until all locations have
been visited, she said. Prizes
ranging from sailing lessons to a
year-long membership at Gold’s
Gym will be awarded on Oct. 2.
“This gives students an oppor
tunity to become educated about
the EMU in a fun, creative way,”
Dievendorf said.
During WOW, the EMU will
also be sponsoring live music
such as funk and soul bands and
blues performers, she said. In ad
dition, a 3-D movie will be
shown and various entertain
ment will be happening in The
Buzz, Dievendorf said.
Crux Rock gym plans to erect a
climbing wall on the EMU East
Lawn, which will be open to all
students.
As always, the student orienta
tion staff table will be available to
answer questions, give directions
and provide information.
WOW activities, programs and
meetings will allow incoming
students to avoid long lines and
meet new people, Winter said.
“Students will get a taste of the
University campus as well as Eu
gene,” she said. “It will settle
nerves.”

Activism: Campus Greens plan
to work against research park

Green member who was also the summer student
senate president.
“It would be a miracle, really,” Olson said. “We
mostly want to keep the ability to raise issues and
to be in the democratic process. ”
In two of this year’s larger elections, Campus
Greens are supporting Karyn Moskowitz for Demo
cratic Sen. Ron Wyden’s seat and Blair Bobier for
governor. The heavily-debated ballot Measure 64,
which would prohibit many current timber harvest
practices, is also supported by Campus Greens.
In the legislature, Greens are pushing for the OF
FER campaign — Oregonians For Fair and Equal
Representation.
“It would not be a tyranny of the minority by any
means,” Olson said. “It offers a wider scope for de
bate instead of, basically, a government run by a
single set of interests.”
Locally, Campus Greens are bringing a set of is
sues concerning the Riverfront Research Park to
the Eugene City Council, said Olson.
“Nine times out of ten, the campaign that spends
the most money wins,” he added, commenting on
the local influence of research park officials.
Academically, the University s School ot Law
has an especially lofty reputation in environmen
tal law, composed in part by the Journal of Envi
ronmental Law and Litigation.
"I’m sure there are misperceptions about JELL,”
said Jason Daywitt, the JELL editor in chief. “We’re
not involved in voting or campaign drives. What
we try to do is have a balanced perspective.”
JELL is a biannual national publication that runs
from 150 to 300 pages, divided into roughly eight
articles.
“JELL has been cited in the congressional
record,” Daywitt said, meanwhile explaining that
much of JELL staffs work is “soliciting articles
written by professors, legal practitioners and non
practitioners.”
Though the publication’s mission statement is
largely "to provide an unbiased national fomm for
the discussion and presentation of issues and the
ories relating to public-interest, environmental,
and natural resources law,” JELL is not completely
removed from local issues, Daywitt explained.
"There is a lot more awareness on this campus,”
he said. “Oregon has a history of doing things in a
unique way.”
