Katrina: Students contemplate choice between Eugene and New Orleans
Continued from page 1A
number of factors that are drawing
them back to New Orleans.
Lex Steers, who lived in Eugene be
fore attending Tlilane, has spent the
last few months living with his parents
and taking classes at the University.
As an engineering student and a
member of Alpha Tau Omega frater
nity, Steers was disappointed to be at
a campus without an engineering de
partment or a chapter of his fraternity.
His decision to return to TUlane
was an easy one.
“The difference in classes, the differ
ence in degrees, makes it a
pretty tough sell to stay here,” he said.
Lauren DeGraffenreid, a
sophomore ecology major
from Tblane, relocated
of need,” she said in an e-mail.
DeGraffenreid is quick to offer
praise and thanks to the University
for providing her with a place to
to the
University
to study
at the
Oregon In
stitute of
Marine
Biology.

She ended her
e-mail to the
Emerald with:
“GO GREEN
WAVE! GO
DUCKS!”
Sophomore
She said that because ot her loyalty to
Tlilane, she wants to return.
“I do not wish to abandon my
beloved alma mater during our hour
Nina Favncn aeciaea to remain per
manently at the University, despite
her fond memories of Tulane.
“There’s a little part of me that
wants to go back, she said. It s
hard to let those memories go.”
Pavlich has enjoyed her time in Eu
gene so far and is excited to have
found a place in the architecture pro
gram, but she said her decision to
stay was based largely on concerns
about the safety of New Orleans.
“A family friend went down to
New Orleans with FEMA (Federal
Emergency Management Agency)
and said it wasn’t safe,” Pavlich
said. “When they start bulldozing
houses there will be social unrest,
and it’s the social unrest more than
the physical instability that could
make it an unsate place to oe.
While students make plans to
stay or leave, a feeling of
uncertainty seems to linger.
Aram Krauson, a second-year
graduate student in biochemistry
who came to the University from
TUlane, said that right now, he still
is not sure where he’ll be several
months from now.
“My first choice is to go back to
Ttilane if conditions are safe and
housing is available,” he said. “If
not, I’d be happy to stay here.”
