Students often take some time to relax before heading off to work for the summer and then go back to school in the fall. (Left to

Summer jobs offer profit
From acting in movies
to cleaning dorms, University
students have myriad plans
for their summer vacation
Chelsea Hogue
Freelance Reporter
With summer vacation less than a
week away, students are preparing
for new jobs, internships and travel.
While some may be planning get
aways to exotic locations, others will
stay at home and work or search for
adventure in their neighborhoods.
Freshman Tyler Sanders will be
employed as a custodial worker in
the residence halls at the University.
He said he took whatever job he
could get in order to support himself.
“I am looking forward to getting it
over with because my job is going to
suck,” Sanders said. However,
Sanders does plan to take time off
and visit friends and family.
“At least I get to go camping with my
friends in Zion National Park,” he said.
Others opted to mix some traveling
with summer work. Dex Siegfe, a gradu
ating senior, said he will travel and sight
see from the seat of a Harley-Davidson.
“I am planning on taking some
time off, traveling around Oregon,
checking it out, since I have been
here so long,” Siegle said. “I have
been stuck in the valley, and now I
want to see the sights.”
Siegle, who is a reserve officer in the
Army National Guard, said he also will
spend two weeks with his unit.
Some students have chosen to
leave Eugene and explore career op
tions through internships in other ar
eas. Junior Rachel Taleff, who is ma
joring in journalism, will gain hands
on knowledge of her craft this sum
mer in Portland with two internships.
She said she is working at KBOO ra
dio, assisting on the “Old Mole Variety
Hour,” where she will interview a Greek
Cypriot resolution and conflict special
ist. She is also a production assistant on
a documentary tided “S/he Shows: Drag
as a Social Action,” which will be filmed
in July at Darcelle the XV Showplace, a
drag cabaret in Portland.
“This is a great opportunity and
will help me get a step ahead in my
major,” Taleff said. “I chose it over a
paid job, which I direly need, because
it will be good for my resume, and I
get to live in Portland.”
Sophomore Parisse Boothe, a the
ater major, also chose a more exotic
line of work for the summer than the
average college student.
“I will be working for Dreamworks,
Steven Spielberg’s company, at the be
ginning of the summer,” Boothe said.
“Then I will be filming an HBO minis
eries called ‘Deadwood,’ in which I will
be playing a prostitute in a brothel. ”
Boothe, who Ls originally from Los An
geles, said she is excited to be spending
time with her family and is looking for
ward to the weather in her hometown.
Whether they are slaving away at the
dorms or filming on location in Port
land, summer holds the promise of new
experiences — and maybe even a big
paycheck for some University students.

for the Emerald.
Architecture grads endured
long hours, studio projects
Annie Davis was active
on campus and completed
a studio project in the School
of Architecture and Allied Arts
Jan Montry
News Editor
Braving the complexity and long
working hours of an architecture de
gree isn’t an easy feat of academia,
and Annie Davis should know.
The 23-year-old senior from Port
land has just finished her “terminal
studio project,” a yearlong design that
all students in the School of Architec
ture & Allied Arts—graduate and un
dergraduate — must complete in or
der to receive a degree.
Degrees will be conferred at the
school’s commencement at 3 p.m. Sat
urday on the East Lawn of the EMU.
In Davis’ case, the degree will be a
bachelor of arts in architecture, and
her project is a complete design of a
community arts center.
Now, Davis is relieved that her proj
ect is finally done and she no longer
must bear 12-hour working days —
something she’s had to deal with for
the past three weeks.
“The last two days have just been
sleep,” she said. “It feels good.”
Despite stress during the last year
leading up to her final project’s com
pletion, Davis said her experience at
AAA has been extremely positive.
“I’ve had a great experience at the
architecture school, and I can’t imag
ine doing anything else,” she said.
Davis said her good experience at
the school can be largely contributed
to professors who she felt truly cared
about her education and her life out
side the classroom.
“A few professors have really gptten
close to me,” she said. “It’s been great
to be in the architecture department.”
Outside of school, Davis was also in
volved in many athletic and extracur
ricular activities, the kind of active
lifestyle she said is rare in many archi
tecture students. Davis was a member
of the University’s golf team for two
years, where she went to the Pac-10
championship in 2002, and a member
of the track team for four years, where
she ran the 800 and 1500 meter races.
At the University, Davis was also led
the Freshmen Interest Group for Ar
chitecture and was a teacher’s assis
tant, two activities she said helped her
develop as a student and an architect.
“Those are things I really enjoyed
and, in a way, taught me more than
the actual classes did,” she said.
“They gave me a different perspec
tive on things.”
But even with the hectic schedule
of an architecture student, sports and
other activities, Davis said she has
been able to maintain a high GPA.
“I think for me it’s been a great re
ward to participate in so many differ
ent environments on this campus,”
she said. “It’s fun to see how many
people care about what you’re doing
and why you’re here.”
