Graduate fair: Student demographics are monitored for future recruiters

the right to appear at the fair. Repre
sentatives said the cost was worth pay
ing if the event could increase their ex
posure to prospective students.
“I would like to think that it is ef
fective in terms of visibility,” said An
drew Brusletten, manager of the Poli
cy Studies program at the University
of Washington.
Brusletten added that the purpose
of the event is not to recruit specific
students but to get students thinking
about graduate studies.
“I’m trying to make sure people
make the right decision for them,”
he said. “I’m not trying to make a
hard sell.”
The Career Center used Monday’s
fair to gain a clearer picture of what
types of students come to learn about
graduate schools, Wilsey said.
Before entering the fair, students
were asked to either swipe their stu
dent body card or fill out an infor
mation card. The Career Center will
use that information to determine
the demographics of students at
tending the fair.
By analyzing the turnout by class
and major, the Career Center will be
able to tell prospective graduate
schools what kinds of students they
will meet at future fairs, Wilsey said.
Students interested in graduate pro
grams will have another opportunity
to gather information this afternoon.
The Career Center will host a program
called “Graduate School: What Works,
What Doesn’t and Why?”
Don Asher, an author on graduate
school and career development is
sues, will speak and answer ques
tions in the Gerlinger Lounge from

IN BRIEF
Feldkamp resists returning
DeLay's contributions
Congressional hopeful Jim Feld
kamp is rejecting calls from Democ
rats to return $10,000 he received
from indicted House Majority
Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.
Feldkamp’s political director, Jen
nifer Gaskill, said it’s unreasonable
for critics to demand the return of
contributions from a politician who
has not been convicted.
“Returning his money is basically
saying he’s guilty, and we need to
wait and find out and then go from
there,” she said.
Feldkamp, a Eugene Republican,
said last month that he plans to run
against Rep. Peter DeFazio in Ore
gon’s 4th Congressional District.
DeFazio beat Feldkamp in 2004.
DeLay last month gave up his
House leadership post after a Texas
grand jury indicted him on conspir
acy and money laundering charges.
Following the indictment, Oregon
Democrats called on Feldkamp to
return what state party spokesman
Kelly Steele called “dirty money
from Tom DeLay.
Feldkamp received his contribu
tion from DeLay’s political action
committee, Americans for a Repub
lican Majority.
Nationally, at least three Republi
can members of Congress have
returned contributions from
DeLay’s PAC after his indictment;
many more have taken Feldkamp’s
position.
DeLay and two political associ
ates are accused of funneling corpo
rate money to Texas legislative
campaigns, in violation of state
law prohibiting use of those dona
tions for election or defeat of state
candidates.
