students wishing to graduate

in order to avoid problems

Students planning to graduate
with a bachelor’s degree at the end
of spring term can now complete
their applications online, but they
must do so by today to avoid any
unforeseen snags that could keep
them from their caps and gowns.
The registrar’s office will accept
applications until the end of the
second week of spring term, but of
ficials warn that procrastinating
could prevent the office from hav
ing adequate time to examine a stu
dent’s transcripts and identify any
problems that could prevent them
from graduating on time.
“We want them early to make
sure they’re clear,” said Karen Dun
can, assistant registrar for student
academic records.
Those seeking advanced degrees
cannot apply to graduate online.

While each organization’s and in
dividual’s objection to the war
varies, Justice Not War members
agree President Bush’s response to
the attacks on the East Coast was
hasty, Weaver said.
“It almost seemed like a knee-jerk
reaction of revenge ... and a war-cry
put out by the Bush administra
tion,” he said../'
Last term, Students for Peace and
some members of Justice Not War re
sponded to their frustrations with
U.S. retaliation by organizing march
es every Friday from the EMU Am
phitheater to the Eugene Federal
Building. At the beginning of the
term, up to 80 people marched, Diehl
said. But recently, attendance has
dwindled to about 20 participants.
Member Marc Moscato said he is
frustrated with the marches because
he doesn’t think protests achieve
the group’s goals.
“What will a protest in Eugene,
should access Duck Web, Duncan
said. After they login to the system,
students should click on “Student
Menu.” Once there, a click on the last
item in the second column of choic
es, “Application for Undergraduate
Degree,” will allow the student to fill
in the required information.
The form asks for the student’s
preferred name, which may be read
aloud during the ceremony, where
the diploma should be mailed and
what the student’s e-mail address is.
“They must include an e-mail
address,” Duncan said.
Students planning to graduate
with a double major cannot apply
online if one of their majors is unde
clared, however. Those students
must go directly to the department of
their undeclared major and file a for
mal change of major, Duncan said.
If students attend a formal cere
mony, they can choose between a
smaller ceremony composed of
those graduating from their aca
demic department or the large cere
mony, open to all University gradu
ates. The system is flexible, though,
said Laura Blake Jones, associate
dean of students for student life.
to 45 degrees and an overnight low
of 35 degrees. Sunday should bring
more rain, with highs in the low 40s.
But while the cold holds a frosty
reign outside, students living in res
idence halls haven’t called pleading
for space heaters or extra blankets
since the cooler temperatures set
tled in Monday, said Gordon Melby,
Ore., do?” the graduate arts and ad
ministration student asked. “I was
enthusiastic last year, but you just
feel so powerless. ” .
A general sense of frustration is
one of the reasons Students for Peace
is shifting its focus away from
protesting and more toward educa
tional events similar to tonight’s pan
el and documentary, members said.
"We need to educate and get
some good dialogue going,” Stu
dents for Peace member Stuart
Diehl said.
Ultimately, Students for Peace
wants to involve students and raise
their awareness that the media’s cov
erage may not be entirely accurate.
“Many students on campus are
happy with what NBC tells us,” said
Diehl, a sophomore environmental
studies major. “They’re not aware
that NBC is owned by General Elec
tric, which makes bombs and mili
tary supplies.”
He added that he hopes to high
light the biases he sees, even if it
makes people uncomfortable.
“People are warm in their houses.

“A student doesn’t have to partici
pate at all,” Jones said. “Or they have
the opportunity to attend both. ” The
departmental graduations are sched
uled around the large ceremony.
The names of students graduating
with a bachelor’s degree won’t be
read aloud at the large ceremony,
scheduled for noon on June 16 at
McArthur Court. Instead, students
will be recognized in groups. Offi
cials will read all student names
aloud at departmental ceremonies.
University President Dave
Frohnmayer will speak at the large
ceremony, however, as students
shed their academic skins for pro
fessional ones — a transformation
enjoyed by more than just students
and their families.
“It reminds me of why I do the
job,” said Heather Bottorff, academ
ic adviser for the business school,
which graduated the second high
est number of undergraduates of
any school at the University in
spring 2001. “Life happens while
you’re going through school.”

said. “If students want it hotter than
that, they can wear a sweater.”

... Hopefully we can change that.”
Diehl, Moscato and Weaver all
emphasized that bombing innocent
people is not the best way to bring
suspected terrorist mastermind
Osama bin Laden to justice.
“We’re exasperating the situa
tion,” Weaver said. “We need to take
a look at why the world is upset
with U.S. foreign policy.”
A counselor from the Central
Committee for Conscientious Ob
jectors in Oakland, Calif., will also
be at tonight’s event to discuss peo
ple’s options for avoiding a possible
draft, Weaver said.
Members of Students for Peace
encourage students to come to their
meetings at 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays in
the EMU Skylight.
