Oregon redistricting
plan released
The Oregon Secretary of State’s
office posted its redistricting plan
for Oregon congressional bound
aries online Monday.
Secretary of State Bill Bradbury
will hold a public meeting at 7
p.m. on July 31 at Eugene City
Hall to receive input on the plan.
It will be one of more than 20 such
visits Bradbury will make
throughout the state.
Every ten years, the state is re
quired to adjust state Senate and
House boundaries to census re
sults. If the Legislature is unable
to agree on new boundaries by
July 1, the Secretary of State is as
signed the task.
This year, the Legislature failed
to pass a redistricting plan after De
mocrats boycotted the House for
about a week in protest of a Repub
lican plan to enact a reapportion
ment map without Gov. John
Kitzhaber’s approval.

ing plan, visit http://www.sos.state,

Jackson and Standridge are just
two of an estimated 3,000 incoming
freshmen and transfer students who
will take part in seven IntroDUCK
tion sessions held at the University
this summer. With only 2,400 in at
tendance last year, that number
makes this summer’s IntroDUCK
tion group the largest ever, said
Karen Dickinson, one of two stu
dent directors for the program.
IntroDUCKtion is sponsored
every summer by the Student Ori
entation office and includes six
two-day sessions held throughout
July, as well as a one-day orientation
for transfer students only. There
will also be a one-day orientation
session held in Hawaii on Aug. 6.
Dickinson said students who at
tend IntroDUCKtion are at more of
an advantage than new students
who come only to the Week of Wel
come orientation session in Sep
tember because they have the op
portunity to register for fall classes.

During IntroDUCKtion, she said,
students and parents also receive
information on a wide range of top
ics — everything from what classes
to take to whether they should bring
a car to school.
Going through the orientation
program also gives students the
chance to meet other students and
become familiar with the campus,
she said. For many students, this fa
miliarity “eases a lot of their tension
about the school,” she added.
The 17 University students who
make up the summer orientation
staff (SOS) are crucial to the success
of the program, Dickinson said.
Each SOS leader is assigned to a
group of 25 to 40 students whom
they stay with throughout the Intro
DUCKtion session, she said, allow
ing students to form a relationship
with the orientation staff member.
This year, Dickinson said, SOS
members are taking on even more re
sponsibility than in past years, with a
greater emphasis on one-on-one time
between students and leaders, and an
increased SOS presence in all Intro
DUCKtion activities.
Barents who choose to come are
also included in IntroDUCKtion ac
tivities. Dickinson said students at
tend some information sessions with
their parents, but other sessions are
held for students or parents only.
Many parents were surprised at
but pleased with the range of infor
mation presented at the orientation
session, she said. In particular,
Dickinson said, she received posi
tive feedback from many parents on
a presentation concerning how to
make good choices about drugs, sex
and alcohol — issues she said are of
ten avoided at college orientations.
Montana native Laura Pikul,
who attended IntroDUCKtion with
her son, said the event was helpful
— especially a session on how par
ents can relate to students when
they return home from their first
year at the University.
Pikul, who has an older son in
college, said she wished she had
been to a similar orientation before
he left for school.
“If I would have had this informa
tion then,” she said, “I would have
understood him differently.”
