Fictitious student to graduate
■The Business Affairs Office
has a unique way of learning
about how students live
By Katie Ellis
Oregon Daily Emerald
University “student” Daisy D.
Millrace has studied abroad in
Japan, lived in the residence halls,
run for ASUO office, and needs one
more term to complete the require
ments for a journalism major and re
ceive her diploma this spring. She
has accomplished all this in just one
year at the University.
Daisy who?
Daisy D. Millrace is a fictitious
student invented, by the Business
Affairs Office as part of its “Mystery
Tour. ” Employees from the business
office take Daisy, a yellow stuffed
duck, around to various offices on
campus and “help” her through the
various processes and activities stu
dents take part in, as a way of better
understanding what the average
student goes through.
The purpose of the tour is to give
employees from the business office
an opportunity to experience stu
dent life at the University. David
Musgrove, the business affairs office
manager, said the idea for the tour
was formulated after employees
from the business office attended a
series of retreats.
“While we were on our retreats
we found out that people wanted to
learn more about what goes on the
University,” Musgrove said. “They
wanted to learn more about how the
campus operates and try to gain a
better understanding of what it is
like to be student at the University.”
And so Daisy D. Millrace was
born. Every month, employees from
different departments in the busi
ness office participate in the tour.
During the first tour prior to the
beginning of classes, Daisy did al
most everything a new University
student does. She visited the resi
dence halls, got her student ED and
met with an adviser from the jour
nalism school to discuss her class
“I learned that it costs
graduating students a lot
of money if they want to get
everything that’s involved ”

schedule and major requirements.
Daisy has also studied abroad in
Japan and in preparation for her
trip, paid a visit to University
Health Center to hear about what
shots she needed to travel abroad.
Employees from the payroll de
partment participated in the last
tour, which took place during the
ASUO election, with the goal of learn
ing more about the process. They filed
Daisy as a candidate and completed
all the required paperwork. To fully
experience the student election
process, they even did some cam
paigning and visited the Emerald to
discuss election coverage.
Wednesday marked the begin
ning of the current “Mystery Tour,”
and employees from the collections
office received their first clue about
what the tour will teach them.
As a graduating senior, it is time for
Daisy to get ready for spring gradua
tion. With Daisy in hand, Katia
Jimenez and Bruce Abrahamson em
barked on the “graduate tour” and
made their way from Oregon Hall to
the University Bookstore. The first
day of the tour included attending the
first University graduation sale.
Jimenez and Abrahamson took Daisy
to look at announcements, diploma
frames, rings and, most importantly,
to try on a cap and gown.
Both Jimenez and Abrahamson
said they found some of the prices
to be more expensive than expect
ed, but said it was a great opportuni
ty to learn what students go through
to get ready for graduation.
“I learned that it costs graduating
students a lot of money if they want
to get everything that’s involved,”
Abrahamson said.
Both Jimenez and Abrahamson
found it to be a very interesting
process.
“It’s a neat way for us to find out
what’s happening outside of Oregon
Hall,” Abrahamson said. “We gain
a better understanding of the many
hands that play a part in the student
process. It’s a great way to interact
with the rest of the University com
munity.”

“I ask you to consider the issue
but not to pass the resolution,”
Frohnmayer said. “This has been
a matter with the most extensive
consultation that has occurred on
this campus.”
If the Nike “O” becomes the offi
cial University logo, many are con
cerned about whether faculty and
staff members will have a choice to
use either the “O” or the traditional
seal. Frohnmayer contended facul
ty members’ opinions have been
heard and are always taken into
consideration.
“Voices have been heard loud
and clear that faculty should have
the choice to use the seal,” Frohn
mayer said.
Eric Bailey, a student represen
tative on the University senate,
agreed with President Frohnmay
er but said there should have been
more student views heard about
the issue.
“There could have been more in
put sought from students,” Bailey
said. “I think there should have
been a presentation before the Stu
dent Senate.”
The University Senate will con
tinue discussion about the resolu
tion next month.
