Newcomers get IntroDUCKed’ IntroDUCKtion for new students begins today and has seven sessions By Sara Jarrett Oregon Daily Emerald The annual University Intro DUCKtion for new and transfer students, which consists of seven, mostly two-day sessions between July 8 and 29, has two major changes — new funding and an . outreach program to Hawaii. Between 75 and 100 more stu dents per session are attending IntroDUCKtion this summer be cause, by nchoice of their own, they’ve already paid for it. A new matriculation fee included in the cost of tuition now funds the program. In a sense, students feel like the program is free this year because there isn’t a sepa rate bill for it, said Amy Juve, student director of the Universi ty Orientation Office. The bulk of the University’s en rolled students is from four states, with Hawaii contributing the fourth largest amount of students after Oregon, California and Washington. Because the Univer sity also has such a large popula tion of Hawaiian students who can’t afford to attend the sessions, it’s being brought to them instead. As part of its outreach program, the University is sending 13 peo ple to Honolulu on July 29 for a two-day seminar. Kris Winter, who is the current director of Stu dent Orientation Programs, Laura Connell, Winter’s replacement for next year, three student directors, including Juve, student orienta tion staff members, admission rep resentatives and testing-center representatives will be going. “We’re not going just because it’s a fun and glamorous state,” Juve said. If a lot of students came from Virginia, for instance, IntroDUCK tion would go there, she said. Only two Hawaiian students are coming to the University for Intro DUCKtion as opposed to the 50 that are signed up for the Hawai ian sessions, Juve said. The on-site sessions provide an important element that the Hawai ian one will never be able to deliv er—campus familiarity. “[It’s a] great opportunity to get to know campus,” said Erica Munson, student-orientation staff member and public rela tions major. Munson was interested in the program partly because it relates to her career goals. She isn’t the only one. Of the 19 student-orien tation staff members, eight are journalism majors.

The day after it was singed, Commission er of Indian Affairs Robert Bennet called for an in junction against any new construction or repairs on the land. It has come to be called the “Bennet Freeze.” Effectively, the freeze forbids those who continue to live on the contested land to in any way improve their living conditions. University student and ISCO member Elizabeth Howard said many residents must live in sub-standard conditions, such as having holes in their roofs that al low snow and rain to pour into their homes in winter, because improving them would be against the law. “These are the little ways the people are encour aged to move,” she said. The coalition contends that the “New Lands,” as the re location site is termed, are actually inhabitable as the largest uranium spill in American history occurred there, leaving toxic and potentially lethal residues behind. Legislation has recently been introduced to repeal the law forbidding construction and repairs, but protesters hold that only a full repeal of both relocation acts will bring the long-awaited end to an unjust situation. Wearing a bright yellow T-shirt that read, “Relocation is Genocide, ’ ’ Beth Newbeny of the coalition read from a press statement quoting Dine’h Alliance member Louise Benally. “The bottom line is huge profits will be made once the land is made ready for development via the relocation pro gram.” All Ways Travel Summer Specials Paris.$599.00* Jakarta.$855.00* •tax not included, restrictions may apply.
