Nov. 4, 1997 Hundreds of prospective college students and their families will flock to the University of Oregon on Sunday, Nov. 9, for the annual Duck Preview. "This is a great opportunity for college-bound students and their parents to view campus life and learn about the wide variety of high-quality programs and services the university has to offer," says Randy Hernandez, senior assistant director of the UO Admissions Office. The day-long event will begin with registration and a student activities fair from 7:45-8:30 a.m. at McArthur Court, 1601 University St. on campus. At 8:45 a.m., Vice President Duncan McDonald will welcome participants, and then current UO students will escort the visitors on a 30-minute campus walking tour en route to their first of two academic interest sessions at 10 sites around campus. Following lunch with Vice President Dan Williams, the fledging Ducks and their parents are invited to attend at 1:45 p.m. any of several informal presentations, open houses and tours on such topics as establishing Oregon residency for tuition purposes, university and Greek housing options, library collections and demonstrations of technology services, School of Music performance opportunities and the Honors College.
