Duck U: Show made by students for students
Continued from page 1
sorority girl stereotype in the Real
World parody, said she had to audi
tion to be part of the on-air talent.
“1 like having fun and this is just
fun,” Schroeder said. “This is my
second year; last year 1 was a sports
reporter and this term I’m doing re
ality TV. 1 get to act and it’s a good
experience.”
Duck U’s in-studio segments are
shot in 120 Allen Hall, although most
of the show is taped on campus and
around the Eugene area, Merrell said.
The show is run entirely by stu
dents, although they have a faculty ad
visor, journalism Assistant Professor
Rebecca Force. Force helps give guid
ance and input, especially during the
audition process, Merrell said.
Merrell said students involved in
Duck U aren’t paid, but they do get
course credit.
“We don t spend money on props
and sets; it’s low budget... We’re not
funded, although [Associate Dean and
journalism Professor] A1 Stavitsky
does give us some money for advertis
ing and tapes,” Merrell said.
As a means of generating revenue,
Duck U will be offering advertising
space to student groups, Merrell said,
adding that Duck U hasn’t done
much to promote itself in the past,
but that it has teamed up with Allen
Hall Advertising to get the word out
about the program.
Merrell said people can register to be
a part of Duck U because it is offered
in the course schedule as an upper-di
vision journalism course, although
they hold auditions for many of the on
air positions.
“It’s a really good opportunity for
people to get experience and to build a
portfolio,” Merrell said. “Unless you
only want to be on-air talent, pretty
much anyone can get involved.
Duck U is just starting its third year
at the University, said Merrell, who got
involved with the program halfway
through its first year.
Merrell added that the program is
working to break out of the journal
ism school. The plan is to involve
the theater department and to intro
duce a comedy segment sometime
in the future.
“I think this could be a good collab
oration,” Merrell said.
Duck U has already completed audi
tions for fall term, but there are still
openings for editors who know how to
use Final Cut Pro editing software,
Merrell said.
