Miss Kitty watch.
The self-proclaimed "absolute
nerd" says she decided to apply for
the IntroDUCKtion team because the
prospect of showing off the school
and talking — she admits she likes to
talk a lot — was very exciting.
"There's a feeling that you get
when you introduce people to some
thing you enjoy," says McGraw, an
18-year-old sophomore from Kla
math Falls.
The job is hardly a walk in the
park, however, with about 461 stu
dents at each session clamoring for
attention. But SOSers have been
trained to take it all in stride. During
the first session McGraw had to give
an impromptu campus tour — her
very first for the public — but it didn't
faze her.
"It was fun that I could recite all
these facts about the University and
give the tour," she says. And in the
second session she did a tyrannosaur
impression in front of a crowd of par
ents and students.
"My boss thinks it's funny," she
says, laughing. "They really liked it."
1 ler ability to take control, even
under pressure, is clear as she sits un
der a tree with her group for "Inquir
ing Minds," a question-and-answer
session where new students can ask
whatever they want. The students
stare blankly at each other, hesitant to
throw out any questions. McGraw en
courages them, although she admits
it's awkward. She keeps talking, smil
ing, asking questions, even sharing
an anecdote of an old roommate
who accused her of being physically
abusive. Slowly, she draws the new
students out of their shells.
McGraw said her groups of stu
dents have so far been nice, although
she felt like a complete "dork" at
some moments.
"I was also afraid that I wouldn't
be able to answer their questions,"
she says.
Fellow SOSer Dante Wiley, on the
other hand, doesn't seem afraid of
questions. At lunch time, the 21-year
old San Francisco native works his
way around the crowd, saying hello
to one parent, waving to another and
answering the questions of others.
It's Wiley's second year on the In
troDUGKtion team. Being from out
of-state, Wiley says it is important to
make a big impression on new stu
dents. When he first arrived in Eu
gene, he says he was very scared, but
his tour guide put him at ease and
made a lasting impression.

Duck John Parks enjoy the picnic lunch during Sunday’s IntroDUCKtion session.
"I knew that if 1 ever had the op
portunity to give back what he gave
me, I'd jump at it," Wiley says. "One
of the most rewarding things is to
help someone, even if it's just regis
tering for a class."
Wiley says he wants to ease stu
dents' insecurities about being in new
place and make them feel accepted.
"I want them to feel like they can
succeed here," he says.
Not only is he a double major in
religious studies and geography, with
a minor in women and gender stud
ies, but he is also the president of his
There's a feeling that

something you enjoy."

fraternity, Delta llpsilon. He credits
his drive to succeed to the inspiration
he draws from his great grandmoth
er and his Christian faith.
"I think the Bible is a really big
thing in life," he says. "I don't take
it lightly."
At first glance Wiley may seem
quite serious, his face occasionally
breaking into a smile. But his sense of
humor, which he brings to work,
quickly becomes evident. Wiley is
part of a special student panel that
advises parents on how they can help
their children adjust to college life. As
he describes his antics as a freshman
and his communication with his
own folks, Wiley has parents bowling
over with laughter — though he
keeps a straight face.
Still, he knows what he says is of
great value to parents.
"I think what comes out of the
student's mouth has a lot of
weight," he says.
The work Wiley and McGraw do is
the starting line for a freshman's pe
riod at the University, and many new
students said they benefited from In
troDUCKtion.
"It's been interesting," says Angela
Ko of Newberg. "I have a lot of ques
tions for people and people seem re
ally friendly."
Ko went through academic advis
ing and also discovered some things
that might help her outside the
classroom.
"I found out where the 7-Eleven
is," she says. "That's very important."
But the experience impacts both
new students and their parents. Seat
tle resident Rebecca Sloan, whose
daughter will be a freshman, said the
orientation was excellent.
"It's been rewarding in the fact that
initially (my daughter) was scared to
death, but now she is easing into the
process," she says.
And the experience is also worth
while for the SOSers themselves.
"This job has really made me
grow up as a man," Wiley says,
adding that working and meeting
different people has made him see
that "We're all human beings,"
despite people's differences.
