(Left to right) Molly Hendrickson, Erin Barnes, Bryant Griffith and Levi McClain enjoy some down time at Ducks Village. 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. Chelsea Hogue is a freelance writer 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.” Contact the news editor atjanmontry@dailyemeraId.com.
