University students together
Continued from page 1A
Laura Blake Jones, associate dean
and director of student life.
The student resource fair Thurs
day on the Humpy Lumpy Lawn is
a chance for students to check out
student groups and resources
around campus.
Students and parents who want to
learn more about the University or the
community can attend any of the nu
merous interest sessions happening
throughout Thursday and Friday. Ac
tivities range from an art museum
tour to an Outdoor Program presenta
tion for students interested in partici
pating in one of many outdoor pur
suits Saturday.
The second
annual UO In
terMingle, the
largest event
during WOW,
is a chance for
all students to
eat, dance,
sing karaoke
and celebrate
“(The ASUO Street Faire is) a
bridge between the
University and the larger
community and a place for local
artists to sell their goods. ”

tne new scnooi year, festivities run b
p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday in the EMU.
“It is meant to be a welcome back
for new and returning students,”
EMU Director of Student Activities
Gregg Lobisser said. “It’s meant to be
a place where people can see old
friends and meet new friends.”
InterMingle starts with a parade of
muscle cars, and four bands will play
throughout the night. There will be a
tattoo contest, fire dancers, human
bowling, henna tattooing and Texas
hold ‘em.
The best thing about Intermingle:
It’s free to all students. More than 25
departments have contributed mon
ey for the event and more than 20 or
ganizations have donated prizes.
“It is the big hurrah to begin the
school year, not just for new
students, but for all students,”
Lobisser said.
For those who prefer a more low
key event, students can visit the EMU
Craft Center and do free activities
during WOW. Students can sculpt ce
ramic mugs and bowls on Thursday,
and on Wednesday students may
bring their own T-shirt to tie-dye.
To wrap up the WOW and formally
launch a new academic year, Univer
sity Convocation gives students a
chance to meet University President
Dave Frohnmayer and listen to
renowned physicist Sylvester James
Gates Jr., who explains black holes in
lavman’s terms.
The fun
doesn’t stop
after WOW.
The ASUO
Fall Street
Faire starts
Oct. 5, pro
viding a place
for students
to connect
with local
merchants and vendors during the
second week of school.
Among street fairs around the
country, the ASUO’s fair is gaining a
reputation for being one of the best,
according to ASUO Marketing Direc
tor David Watson.
“It’s a bridge between the Universi
ty and the larger community and a
place for local artists to sell their
goods,” Watson said.
Weaving New Beginnings, a recep
tion for students and faculty of color,
runs 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 18 in the
EMU Ballroom.
“It’s an event for continuing reten
tion of students and faculty of color,”
ASUO Multicultural Advocate Ty
Schwoefferman said. “It’s the intro
event to reach out to the whole com
munity of color.”
