10 leaders chosen
By JENNIFER FORKER
Ten students were chosen March 10 for the 1987 summer orientation student leader positions. The students will assist 4,000 new students and their parents during 17 one-day sessions in June and July.

More than 100 students applied for the positions
Lovely Ulmer, coordinator for orientations, said the orientation leaders needed to have good "people skills" and reflect the types of students at the University of Kansas.
A four-member committee from the department of educational services looked for students who participated in campus activities, but the members also wanted students who weren't too involved. Ulmer said.
The orientation leaders were required to have at least a 2.0 grade point average and intend to return to KU for the fall semester. The students also were prohibited from taking summer school classes.
The orientation leaders help prospective students with the enrollment procedure and introduce them to the University and its services.
Ulmer said the orientation leaders had an important job at KU because they were the first contact that many
new students had with the University.
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression," she said.
The students, who are paid $4.25 an hour by the University, attend two weeks of training before the orientation sessions begin. Ulmer said.
"They spend time with everyone from the chancellor to the janitors at the Union. It said that broad of a spectrum," she said.
She said the students needed to know how to answer the questions new students would have, or at least be able to direct them to the correct resources for the answer.
Laura Reid, Mission junior, said she wanted to be an orientation student leader because she could remember when she was a confused freshman.
Other 1987 summer orientation student leaders are Michael Blumenthal, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore; Christopher Burtner, Wichita freshman; Julie Collingwood, Wichita senior; Robert Jann, Northbrook, Ill., sophomore; Mauro Machkivich, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil; senior; Larry Murray, Coffeyville junior; Lorna Reece, Hays sophomore; and Elizabeth Simmons, Wichita junior.
