Community Service The SAA is very involved with University Day, which is a campus-wide beautification event that takes place each spring. Hundreds of students, staff and faculty gather together to plant flowers, spread bark dust, play games and generally show that we care about campus. We also invite community members to join us. The tradition dates back to 1905 as part of Junior Weekend, a spirited event to prepare the university grounds for commencement ceremonies. Though University Day has evolved since then, our roots still lie in campus spirit and community service.
Leadership Opportunities SAA is considered the link between past, present and future Ducks and they represent the university at various functions throughout the year. The SAA office is located in Agate Hall, where members work directly with the Alumni Association to create meaningful interaction between alumni and current students. Being a SAA member allows you to interact with some of the most involved student leaders while gaining valuable leadership experience and having a lot of fun!

A Brief History of Eugene The Kalapuya Indians were the first people to live in the Willamette Valley. Archeological evidence indicates that the Kalapuya occupied the area for several centuries. A hunting and gathering people, the Kalapuya frequently burned the grasses of the valley to clear brush and provide a better habitat for the game and vegetation they depended on for food. By the time the first white settlers arrived, the valley was an open grassy prairie with isolated white oaks and other trees. The first cabin in what is now known as Eugene was erected in 1846 by Eugene Franklin Skinner. It served as a general trading post and was authorized as a post office in 1850. This was the first official recognition of the community. Eugene City was platted and recorded in 1852 by Skinner and Judge David Risdon. However, the site had its disadvantages. After heavy winter rains it became a quagmire and earned the nickname “Skinner’s Mud Hole.” A revised town plat was made on higher ground in 1853. Settlers and industry arrived simultaneously. A millrace was dug in the channel of an old slough and a flour mill and a woolen mill used its water for power. Saw mills were also established along the banks of the Willamette River. By 1858, there were between 500 and 600 inhabitants in Eugene City. According to one account, the residents were served by nine dry goods stores, two book stores, a drug store, a bakery, a restaurant, two hotels, two saloons, two printing offices, three doctors, four lawyers, four clergy, one newspaper and an assortment of blacksmiths, cabinet makers, painters, and other trades people. Eugene City was incorporated in 1862. Two years later, the community adopted a charter and a new name - City of Eugene. The first election for a city council was held in 1865. The council or Board of Trustees as it was called then, consisted of a president, recorder, treasurer, street commissioner, marshal and six trustees. The first telegraph reached Eugene from Portland in 1864 and the city became a stagecoach stop in 1865 when the Territorial Road reached Eugene.

Transportation took a great leap forward in 1871. The Oregon-California Railway (now Southern Pacific) was completed to Eugene in that year and the whole town turned out to celebrate. www.abouteugene.com

Student Conduct Code 571-021-0100 Mission (1) The primary mission of the Student Conduct Code is to set forth the community standards and procedures necessary to maintain and protect an environment conducive to learning and in keeping with the educational objectives of the University of Oregon. Founded upon the principle of freedom of thought and expression, an environment conducive to learning is one that preserves the freedom to learn -- where academic standards are strictly upheld and where the rights, safety, dignity and worth of every individual are respected. (2) Learning is a process defined by the exchange of ideas and the advancement of knowledge. As such, learning entails a community of scholars united by their participation in, and commitment to, intellectual exchange. The University is, first and foremost such a community. Learning also involves reflecting on decisions and improving decision-making in the future. By establishing the standards of this community, the Student Conduct Code serves not just as a disciplinary system, but also as a part of the educational system. Hence, a corollary mission of the Student Conduct Code is to teach students to live and act responsibly in a community setting, with respect for the rights of other students and members of that community, and for the property, common resources, code of conduct, and laws associated with that community, and to encourage the development of good decision-making and personal integrity. (3) Students are simultaneously members of the University community and the broader community (e.g. city, state, nation, and world). The Student Conduct Code, and the processes of its administration and enforcement, is directed specifically toward maintaining the standards of the University community. Within its jurisdiction the University may impose disciplinary sanctions against students or student organizations when their conduct materially interferes with the educational objectives of the University or university community member.

Student Involvement While academics are your primary reason for attending UO, there is much to be learned outside the classroom. By taking advantage of the many opportunities for involvement on campus you will gain valuable skills that complement your academic education and help you develop your identity as a well-rounded individual. Involvement also helps you adjust to life at UO and realize your valuable role as a student. It opens up opportunities to build relationships with students, faculty and administrators that can lead to your college success. Taking an active role in campus life imparts an education unavailable in the classroom. The following lists give only a glimpse of the possibilities. Get involved and one thing will lead to another, allowing for the full expression of your personality.
Student Government asuo.uoregon.edu The ASUO is known as the Associated Students of the University of Oregon and is a non-profit organization funded by the University of Oregon.

Membership consists of all students at the University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, who have paid the current term or semester student incidental fee.

Student Organizations asuo.uoregon.edu/studentorgs There are so many student organizations at the UO that it would take pages and pages to list them all. There are academic clubs, environmental clubs, leadership groups, club sports, diversity groups, and tons more. Student organizations are just that: students. Most groups are run by the students, for the students. A faculty advisor is generally appointed to each group to help deal with the logistics, but students run the show. Students are always encouraged to join an organization and will, without a doubt, benefit a great deal from it. Students gain a great deal of leadership and teamwork experience, and make lasting friendships. There is a club or group for pretty much anything you can think of, and if there isn’t, you can create it.

Greek Life uoregon.edu/~greek For over a hundred years, UO fraternities and sororities have played an active role in the campus climate.

Fraternities and sororities offer an environment that enhances the learning experiences available on campus. They highlight the finest qualities amongst UO undergraduate men and women: scholarship, leadership, a responsibility to their community and friendship. The opportunity to become actively involved as a member of a fraternity or sorority can be among the most rewarding collegiate experiences.
Residential Involvement The terms “residence hall” and “dorm” are often used interchangeably; however, there is a difference between the two. An important objective of residence halls at the University of Oregon is to provide not just a place to sleep, but also opportunities for personal and educational growth. Highly trained Residence Life staff and Hall Government officers support this objective by creating engaging activities and programs in each hall or complex. At the University of Oregon, we are proud to say you’ll be living in a residence hall.

Center for Leadership and Service uoleadership.uoregon.edu The Holden Leadership Center was established in July 2005 in response to the growing need for leadership development at the UO. It represents the culmination of several years of dialogue and planning by various members of the campus community. Its mission is to serve the UO community as a clearinghouse for leadership development opportunities, materials and experiences, and to develop, coordinate and support leadership education and development for all students at the UO. In fulfilling this mission, the work of the HLC bridges student affairs and academic affairs. Its programs and services are classified into three categories: Leadership Curriculum, Leadership Experiences and Leadership Programming. These broad areas cover the curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities that compose a well-rounded, campus wide leadership development program.
28
The office supports and augments current UO leadership offerings, initiates new programs, collaborates with the campus community to develop leadership initiatives and offers a continuum of support to address the needs of emerging as well as seasoned student leaders.

Campus Programs/Events There should never really be a dull moment at UO with all of the constant activities that can be found around campus on any given day. Whatever a student’s need, it can be met. If you’re ill in any way, shape, or form, or you have health questions/concerns stop by the Health and Counseling Center where a trained person can help you. If you need homework help you can make an appointment or drop-in at Academic Learning Services (ALS) located in PLC. If you need advice on scheduling classes stop by Academic Advising in Oregon Hall, or check and see if your major’s department has a Peer Advising group. If you’re looking for something to do in between classes wander the campus and you’ll surely find a flyer about a fun event or you might run into someone promoting something. Be sure to check the Oregon Daily Emerald in print or online for the most up-to-date news on events that happen around campus like rallies, marches, debates, guest speakers, volunteer work, concerts, etc. In case you haven’t noticed the U of O is a fairly big school with about 22,000 highly active and enthusiastic students, not to mention grad students and faculty. With all of these people excited to make their time at the University memorable, it would be almost impossible to miss all of wonderful things to do around here.

Oregon Marching Band The Oregon Marching Band (OMB) is the musical representation of University of Oregon spirit at home and selected away football games. Combining exciting and powerful musical arrangements and contemporary show design the OMB presents outstanding pre-game and half-time shows and provides energy and enthusiasm in the stands. The OMB has a professional staff that has worked within a wide variety of both collegiate and drum corps programs. Students come from nearly every department, school and college at the University of Oregon. Woodwind and brass players interested in the OMB should be competent on their instruments, but there is no formal audition process. Percussion and color guard do go through a formal audition primarily designed to properly place members within their sections. Placement in the OMB is secured by willingness to work hard, have fun and attend rehearsals. The OMB is one of the largest student groups on campus and enjoys national recognition as they perform for over 55,000 people in Autzen Stadium and before live television audiences. Recent performances include ESPN College Game Day, which was held at Autzen Stadium September 29, 2007.

Be a part of the Pit Crew! The Oregon Pit Crew is a student run organization that is the loud part of Oregon basketball. In addition to being hard-working and ambitious students at the University of Oregon. The Pit Crew is made up of die hard basketball fans that take great pride in making the basketball arena one of the most intimidating and feared atmospheres to play at in the nation. Granted, not all of the students have the talent to play Division 1 basketball in the Pac-10 Conference, but that shouldn’t prevent us from cheering our school to victory and making it difficult for other schools to compete against us. With help from sponsors the Crew is able to create unity among the students with the official Pit Crew t-shirt. Other student sections around the country believe they are the best; however Oregon knows the Pit Crew truly is the loudest and most passionate student section in the nation! Each year, Oregon basketball and the Pit Crew gain national recognition which gives the Pit Crew a great opportunity to show everyone what the University of Oregon is all about. Even though March Madness concludes the college basketball season that doesn’t stop the Pit Crew. Every year in the spring the Pit Crew hosts a 3 on 3 basketball tournament for students.
Student Athletic Tickets goducks.com University of Oregon student tickets for football and men’s basketball games are distributed via electronic ticketing. The system is structured on a “first come, first served” basis within each group; however tickets will be distributed in equal allotments for each class status. Every two hours, a different class status group will open for distribution. No group has an advantage over any other group based on its ticket request period. Students may log-in and request tickets on the Sunday prior to a home football or men’s basketball game. Before this system was implemented, students had to line up at the EMU or Autzen Stadium starting at 9 am the Monday before the game. Since tickets are so popular, many diehard fans would camp out with their chairs and sleeping bags on Sunday night. This was a great tradition for quite some time and students never seemed to mind hanging out all night in the cold. However, students were so excited about tickets that they would often skip class to ensure a good spot in line. This concerned many teachers and frustrated those students who went to class and lost the chance to get a ticket. Thus, the new electronic system was born.

Lost Traditions The current traditions at the UO are alive and very obvious. One tradition is making an “O” with your hands and shouting “OOOOO” during football and basketball games. This tradition is simple and really fun because it makes Autzen Stadium and Mac Court extremely loud, which Oregon students are nationally known for. However, there are several traditions that have been lost, which the SAA is bringing life to again. One lost tradition is singing the words to the Fight Song. We all know the tune, but did you know that there are actual words to it? It’s true! Back in the day, students sung the words to the fight song during football and basketball games (the words can be found on page 34). How cool would it be to bring that back to Autzen or Mac Court? Imagine how much louder we could be! Another lost tradition was Homecoming, but over the past few years the tradition has come alive again! There is now a parade and pep rally the Friday before the Homecoming football game. Check out this excerpt from a 1921 Oregana (UO’s yearbook):
Homecoming 1921! Home to meet ’em-back to beat ’em! It was a colorful day on Hayward field despite the wind-driven rain which made the gridiron resemble a wave-swept island. Across in the bleachers were hundreds and hundreds of many colored umbrellas, and lemon and yellow hued cardboard held by the rooters which danced and scintillated into an ever changing animated “O”. And then on the field was a team which did not beat ‘em, if we are to believe the 0-0 score, but which upset the dope and made sport writers crawfish. The Oregon clan heeded the signal fire and gathered for the annual Homecoming from all parts of the Northwest. Remember the Homecoming rally? Vesuvius in pyrotechnic eruption could hardly display the wim, wigger, and witality of that noise carnival. And the bonfire! Flames which licked low-hanging clouds, speeches which aroused the old fight-that was the spirit of Homecoming.
37
The greatest number of persons that ever attended an Oregon Homecoming were present for the big time staged on November 19, 1921. By the use of systematic methods, the campus luncheon and the big Homecoming dance went off better than ever before. Two dances were held, one in the Women’s Building and the other in the new armory. Praise must be given the persons who arranged and managed Oregon’s greatest Homecoming. Back in the day, instead of Facebook, there was another means for social networking: the Pigger’s Guide. A passage in a 1955 yearbook explains: The most widely read book on campus last year undoubtedly was the Piggers’ Guide. This campus’ “who’s who” was edited by Anne Ritchey and her staff. Between the yellow covers was all the important “date data” on likely looking males and coeds. From the Pigger’s Guide students could find the name, phone numbers, year, major, and home and campus addresses of fellow Oregon students. Asterisks marked the names of those students and faculty members who were married.

History of the Duck Even though the uniforms have changed, no longer bearing his fighting countenance bursting through the block “O” logo, Donald Duck remains as one of the most recognizable and lovable mascots on the collegiate sports landscape. Before Donald came to Eugene, thanks to the benevolence of Walt Disney, no duck seemed destined to represent the school as its mascot. Then through the intervening decades, once the duck nickname had found its rightful home, the downy mascot faced challenges from the Humane Society, the student newspaper, a football coach who preferred that Donald bare his teeth, and a basketball coach who refused to even utter his name. Originally, the prevailing campus sentiment was that the University shouldn’t degrade itself by dabbling in such nonsense as nicknames and water fowl. The nickname game began early last century when Oregon was originally known as “The Webfoot State.” Students took a shine to the slogan and referred to themselves as Webfoots and their yearbook as “The Webfoot.” (When the new motto became “The Beaver State” in 1909, Oregon students changed the yearbook name to “The Beaver” before switching back.) The Webfoots reference can be traced to a hearty band of Massachusetts fishermen, who in 1776 helped save General George Washington and some 10,000 of his troops from imminent defeat at the hands of the British. When many of the Webfoots’ ancestors migrated west of the Cascades and settled in the Willamette Valley in the 1840s, the name stuck to their muddy shoes and came with them. L.H. Gregory, sports editor of The Oregonian, has been credited with coining Webfoots as the school’s athletic nickname, even though the students had seen themselves as such since the turn of the century. Headline writers searching for ways to parse Webfoots into their sports pages began churning out Ducks, which the students eventually voted as their new nickname over Timberwolves and Lumberjacks. A second student-body election in 1932 beat back the challenges of Trappers, Pioneers, Yellowjackets and Spearsmen, the latter in honor of football coach C.W. Spears, who left before the ‘32 season for a similar post at Wisconsin.

Oregon’s first live mascot had surfaced in the 1920s when “Puddles,” a resident of the nearby Millrace, was escorted to football and basketball games by his fraternity-house neighbors. Puddles and his various offspring were part of the Duck sports scene until the early 1940s when repeated complaints from the Humane Society respectively ended this tradition. However, Puddles’ memory was preserved in 1947 when Oregon’s first athletic director, Leo Harris, struck a handshake arrangement with Walt Disney. Donald’s likeness could serve as a mascot, as long as it was done in good taste. The unique deal stood for 20 years, with Walt Disney Productions providing several versions of the duck for Oregon’s use, until the cartoonist’s death in 1966. That’s when both parties realized no formal contract existed granting the University the right to Donald’s image. The best evidence Harris could offer was a photograph taken two decades earlier showing the late Mr. Disney in an Oregon letterman’s jacket with Donald clearly visible on the front. Disney representatives agreed to negotiate the first written contract in 1973 for the athletic department’s continued use of Donald. However, not everyone accepted the cartoon mascot’s image at face value. Jerry Frei, Oregon’s football coach for five seasons (1967-71), wanted Donald to sport teeth in his bill to better portray his team’s “Fighting Ducks” image. And Dick Harter, the men’s basketball coach for seven years (1971-78), disdained the Duck nickname altogether and insisted that any public relations materials refer only to his “Kamikaze Kids.” Then Oregon’s duck endured another popularity contest in 1978 when a cartoonist for the student newspaper pushed his Mallard Drake as a suitable successor to Donald, prompting one local high school student to comment that “if that sleazy Duck makes it, I’m going to OSU.” Donald was the students’ overwhelming choice by a 2-to-1 landslide in an election that saw more than twice the typical voter turnout on campus. Donald Duck found even more support for his 50th birthday celebration in 1984 during a visit to the Eugene City Airport that drew 3,000 to 4,000 fans for the presentation of an academic cap and gown to Donald, who was named an honorary alumnus of the University of Oregon. Thousands of area residents signed a congratulatory scroll for Donald, and that document is now part of Disney’s corporate archives.

Donald remained the lone duck mascot in any collegiate or professional capacity until the advent of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks franchise in the National Hockey League in 1993. Now, he looks forward to the next millennium in yellow and green as Oregon’s enduring ambassador for the future.

A Brief History of Oregon Duck’s Football Uniforms The University Of Oregon Duck’s have long been known as a team that pushes the envelope when it comes to team attire. The 2009 uniforms (as seen below) are yet another addition to a long line of flashy outfits the Ducks have donned. Even though their uniforms are pretty eccentric, we’ve always dug the Ducks’ style. Since the team paired up with Nike in 1996 to design their outfits, they’ve come out with some of the funkiest garbs in college football history. As a token of their appreciation to these mighty Ducks, the University Of Oregon Department Of Intercollegiate Athletics posted via Twitter a quick look back at some of the team’s most notable uniforms…
Donald Duck Dickies WORN: 1995 Rose Bowl, Oregon vs. Penn State One of the least visually abrasive getups ever worn by Oregon, these pre-Nike uniforms sported Donald Duck on the shoulder and an interlocking “U & O” on the helmet. Perhaps some more eye-scraping fluorescent would’ve helped the Ducks beat the Nittany Lions.
Just Do It WORN: 1996 season Simplicity is nice. Here’s a glimpse of the Ducks’ “simply swoosh” jerseys that filled the team’s locker room in the seasons before Oregon’s uniforms really started to get hectic.
Monochromatic Madness WORN: 2000 Holiday Bowl This jersey put the Ducks in all black from head-to-toe, with a few signature dashes of green and yellow. The all-black joints are pretty sweet, especially when seen in action.
42
Electric Jersey Acid Test WORN: August 30, 2003, Oregon vs. Miss. State These Hi-Liter yellow jerseys elicited gasps from the shocked crowd when the Ducks trotted onto the field in the 2003 season opener at Mississippi State. These jerseys, perhaps the brightest ever in the history of college football, were worn only once. It turns out that electric yellow bleeds in the washing machine and that was the end of these, ahem, uniforms.
We Goin’ DIAMOND WORN: 2006-2008 When these bad boys were rolled out in 2006, the possibilities were almost endless. Actually, according to the University of Oregon web site, there were literally 384 possible combos between helmets, jerseys, pants, socks, and shoes. One notable combo was the notorious mustard-and-relish version. The number of possibilities jumped to 512 when the Ducks introduced their fluorescent-yellow helmets during the 2006 Las Vegas Bowl. The white jerseys would also become a source of controversy because they were literally so bright players began to complain about being blinded by the diamond-plated reflectors.
Wingin’ It WORN: 2009 Here’s the newest addition to the Ducks’ wardrobe, which look strikingly similar to the special edition “Lights Out” uniforms the Ducks sported at home against Arizona last season. These uniforms are more durable with a design that is 28% lighter than their diamond-plated predecessors. Nike also provides uniforms for other sports, including Club Sports.

A Brief History of a Few UO Buildings Oregon Hall Built in 1973 to house the university’s burgeoning administrative and student service offices, Oregon Hall is the three-story red brick building on the corner of Franklin Boulevard and Agate Street. It is home to the academic advising and student services, admissions, registrar, financial aid, veterans affairs, international education, student life, multicultural affairs, and human resources offices.
McArthur Court Built three years before the Great Depression began, McArthur Court — known to Oregon basketball faithful as Mac Court or “The Pit” — is home to men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling, and volleyball teams. According to a 2001 poll in Sports Illustrated, it is opposing basketball teams’ least favorite place to play in the Pac-10 and one of the most intimidating arenas in the country. Mac Court was built in 1926 and named after alumnus Clifton N. McArthur ’01, a studentathlete and the university’s first student body president. The facility was often called the “Igloo” after its erection because of its shape and stark white color. It was paid for entirely by student fees and regularly was the site of student dances and events until the Erb Memorial Student Union was finished in 1950. Construction has begun on Matthew Knight Arena, which will replace McArthur court for the 2010 Pac-10 season.

Knight Library From 1886 to 1903, the University of Oregon library shuffled from home to home. Among its many locations were Villard Hall, Deady Hall, Collier House, the men’s dormitory in Friendly Hall, and various faculty offices. In 1907, Fenton Hall was built to accommodate the growing collection. But within the next few decades the collection grew as fast as the student population, so in 1937 the library moved to a new facility designed by Ellis F. Lawrence. The extremely adaptable building was expanded twice during the next fifty years, in 1950 and again in 1966. By the 1980s, though, seating in the library had become displaced by books, and the building’s lighting, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems were inadequate to meet modern standards. In 1992, a joint venture between public and private constituents of the university provided funding for a major library expansion and modernization project. Today, the Knight Library preserves the beauty of Lawrence’s original design while providing students and the entire community with the latest informational tools and instructional services utilizing state-of-the-art technology.
EMU A grateful campus dedicated the Erb Memorial Student Union November 3, 1950, culminating a 27-year commitment that began when the Class of 1923 initiated a pledge drive for a student union. Now known as the Erb Memorial Union — or the SU, the U, the Union, the Erb, or the EMU — the building is named after Donald M. Erb, president of the University of Oregon from 1938-1943 whose vision of a postwar campus included a student union. Originally constructed for $2.1 million, the union became the center of student life, and as the UO’s enrollment doubled between 1950 and the early 1970s, the EMU also grew. Additions were added in 1961 and 1974. In 1998, responding to the changing needs of an ever-changing student body, the EMU was renovated again, this time to the tune of $4.9 million. The project included a $4.15 million renovation of the union’s dining area into a more open, inviting space. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the renovation is the new outdoor amphitheater, located at the northwest corner of the building, which has become a popular student hangout.
45
Deady Hall Today’s students are lucky. Unlike their predecessors in Deady Hall — the university’s first building — they aren’t required to carry wood to the stoves in their classrooms to heat Deady Hall. For almost a decade after it opened in 1876, Deady was where all university functions happened. It was built entirely with private donations for the state university. Deady is included in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. It is named in honor of Judge Matthew Deady, a member and president of the state board of regents from 1873-1893 and author of the Constitution of the state of Oregon as well as the first criminal procedure code and the Oregon Civil Code. Today Deady Hall houses classroom space for the math department.
Carson Hall Carson Hall was the first women’s dormitory to be built since Susan Campbell Hall was constructed in 1921. Named after Luella Clay Carson, Carson opened its doors in 1948. Luella Carson was the UO’s first professor of English. She became dean of women at the turn of the century, leaving in 1909 to become president of Mills College in California. Carson and the Erb Memorial Union were the last two buildings Ellis F. Lawrence designed before he died in 1946; both buildings were completed by his son Abbot. Lawrence’s concept for the dormitory reflected what was to become a dominant style in dorms for decades — a compact design incorporating individual rooms (one- and two-person occupancy) and all auxiliary facilities — e.g., cafeteria, nurse’s station, etc. — contained within the building. Instead of being built upward, as a high-rise, Carson was designed with wings extending from a central core, like Hamilton, Walton, and Bean complexes that followed in the 1960s.
46
Bookstore The UO DuckStore moved from the basement of Chapman Hall to its current location on the corner of 13th Avenue and Kincaid Street in 1961, when it purchased the former College Side Inn. A popular student hangout since 1924, the Inn had fallen into disrepair. The bookstore purchased the building, razed it, and constructed a new facility. Owned and operated by UO students, faculty, and staff for more than seventy years, the bookstore today is a 36,000-square-foot retail store with annual sales of more than $15 million. Its satellite stores include the Duck Shop at the Ed Moshofsky Sports Center, the Duck Shop at the UO Portland Center, and the Duck Store at Valley River Center in Eugene.

Deady Hall, the first building on campus, was named after Judge Matthew Deady who donated 1,000 books to start a law school. There are two sides to the building, one for women and one for men. This is so because it was feared that men would be able to see the women’s ankles as they ascended the staircase. Friendly Hall was originally a residence hall. Like Deady, it has two entrances, one for women and one for men. Friendly was later added on to and now on the first two floors it is impossible to get from one end of the building to the other without leaving the building and using a separate entrance. This is because the blocked off section housed two dorm rooms for the first two black football players at UO. They had their own separate entrance as they were not allowed to be with the other students. The basement of Friendly Hall was the original home of the Clark Honors College when it opened in 1960. Complete with study areas, student lounge, and small library, it remained the home of the college until Fall 1978 when operations moved to Chapman Hall. The college was renamed the Robert D. Clark Honors College in recognition of its founder, former UO President Clark, in 1975. The first mascot of the honors college was the Turbot, and today it is the Platypus. The Pioneer cemetery holds veterans from the Civil War. There have been many unexplained paranormal phenomena in Pioneer cemetery. Gerlinger Hall was named after Irene Gerlinger and was intended to be a women’s dormitory and a dance and music building. A local spirit expert says that a female student from about 75 years ago haunts Gerlinger. The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art was closed to the public and UO students for 30 years after it was built and reopened in January 2005.

The art museum was designed by Ellis Lawrence, who designed many buildings on campus. His creations were inspired by the Free Masons, and Masonic symbols can be found on the buildings, but none as prominent as the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. The EMU was originally going to be built with a hotel for guests and an apartment for the building manager and family. Plans for this were scraped due to lack of funding, and it was decided that the building should have as much student space as possible.

Oregon in the Seventies Jock Hatfield ’79, feature editor and columnist for the Oregon Daily Emerald from 1976 to 1979, left a lasting impression on his readers. The author of the sometimes-weekly satire column, “Typewriter Warmed in Hell,” Hatfield wrote with humor, courage and insight about life at the University and the community that surrounds it. After he left Eugene, Hatfield was a free-lance and staff writer for various California and Oregon newspapers and eventually worked as a reporter for Jack Anderson’s syndicated column “Washington-Merry-Go-Round” and Anderson’s “Future File” in Washington, D.C. Sadly, Hatfield died of cancer in April 1984 after a promising start to his journalism career. Recently, his mother, Elaine Hatfield decided to compile and publish her son’s Emerald columns in a single volume: Oregon in the Seventies: Through the eyes of U of O Journalist Jock Hatfield. She said she was inspired to collect the columns because his work “provides an entertaining perspective and sometimes poignant insight.” “What’s more,” she noted in the introduction, “It’s fun to read even if you’ve never been to Oregon.” Hatfield was remembered by his Emerald editor as a “discriminating observer and an imaginative thinker.” His readers wrote scores of responses to his column. He was called “eloquent,” “a barbarian,” and “thoughtful” in letters to the editor. While his writing elicited response—both positive and negative—from his readers in the late ’70s, his themes are timeless. Oregon in the Seventies is about finding humor and meaning in life, death and everything in between. This section features a few excerpts from this book that provide the students of today with a unique look back on life at UO in the seventies.

This first article won second place for the Best Feature Story Award for the California Intercollegiate Press Association.
Holocaust Hotel April 18, 1978 When they finally drop the big one it may be wise to take your chances and stay outside. The University’s bomb shelter features 30-year-old crackers and cardboard toilets. But they do have ping pong at the Holocaust Hotel. Back when people were getting upset about atomic bombs, the University took action to protect its students from holocaust, Armageddon and other mishaps. It renamed its basements fallout shelters and called for help. Civil defense authorities sent holocaust supplies by the ton. They sent in holocaust protein crackers. They sent in holocaust cardboard toilets. They sent in holocaust medical kits, holocaust candy, holocaust water and holocaust toilet paper, and stored it all in the basement beneath Walton dormitory. The University civil defense directors were sneaky. They figured the supplies could be distributed to all shelters through the University steam tunnels. Even if the holocaust had a big turnout, there would be enough holocaust crackers to go around. But technology changed. Bombs got bigger. Nuclear missiles able to penetrate miles underground spoiled the University’s basement plan. Bomb shelters across the country became obsolete. “At first the government tried to ignore this development. But several tons of soybean crackers rotting in the country’s basements forced the issue. Around 1973 the government gave up public protection and issued a “What the hell” memo, which authorized city governments to feed their safety supplies to the pigs. Cities were to give their holocaust supplies to farmers for their “horses, pigs and cows.” But the University found the market for holocaust supplies small. “We didn’t want to waste it and we didn’t want to give it to random individuals,” explains Lt. Howard Kershner of the Lane County Sheriff’s office. In short, the University still has two tons or so of soybean crackers, cardboard toilets, medical kits and holocaust candy sitting around in Walton basement.
51
The supplies completely fill two warehouse-sized rooms. Conservative estimates place the number of soybean cracker cases at more than 10,000. Just after the “What the hell” memo, Kershner tried to unload some of the supplies. He had some takers. But the University had expected a long holocaust and had loaded up on provisions. To make matters worse, when downtown Eugene was renovated, the University got the downtown fall-out shelter supplies just in case it was running low. Kershner finally gave up. For the last several years the holocaust crackers, toilets and paper have been resting in state. Someone goes down to the basement every once in a while to taste a cracker and deduce the cargo’s rate of decay. Nothing tastes quite like a holocaust cracker that’s been sitting around a bomb shelter for 30 years. They started getting stale 28 years ago. The supplies have suffered in other areas. The holocaust water has been dumped, and plant workers have started eating the holocaust candy. One physical plant worker tried using holocaust toilet paper but he says it wouldn’t hold up under stress. Yet the basements continue to be known as safety areas. The following locations, for example, remain officially designated fallout shelters: n
n
n
The washer-dryer rooms at Hamilton and Walton dormitories. People who choose these shelters will be able to wash their clothes and play ping pong during the holocaust. These shelters have the advantage of locking windows, which might otherwise allow radiation to blow in. The EMU bowling alley. People who select this refuge may spend the holocaust bowling. The actual cement bomb shelter stands close at hand, somewhere, and may be used if things get too hot. Survivors should remember to bring the key. Otherwise bowling alley windows may be stopped up with lead shields, and fat friends. The library. This bomb shelter is cleverly camouflaged. Few library personnel know where it is. Some say it moves around. Kershner claims it’s in the basement. Holocaust refugees here should remember to close the door when they go in.
52
If the bomb is dropped on the University, according to Kershner, students needn’t worry about choosing a bomb shelter. A tomb is a tomb. But if the bomb drops some distance away-say Miami, Florida-these shelters should prove serviceable. Kershner admits the shelters are impractical as protection against anything more than minor radiation and sunburn. But he still defends them. “They are basically a storage place for people,” he explains. In a government survey of prime military target areas, according to Kershner, Eugene ranked low. But the city was designated as a host. If Portland explodes, Eugene must put up and care for Portland residents who blow in. Kershner plans to stick these refugees in the University bomb shelters. He may even serve them holocaust crackers. The shelters would serve as a kind of holocaust hotel. The University, however, had had enough of holocaust. An anonymous University official recently urged Kershner to unload the crackers. Kershner believes he may have the answer-the Mormons. Mormons are big on holocaust. It is unofficially written somewhere in the Latter Day Saint’s doctrine that the Mormons shall have enough supplies to last a year. It doesn’t say why or for what. It could be for anything from Armageddon to unexpected guests. The University holocaust supplies may fill the requirement. The Mormons took a small portion of the supplies after the “What the hell” memo first came out. Bill Hightower, a Eugene farmer and a Mormon, heard about the memo from some friends in Los Angeles who had just received several thousand holocaust crackers as a present. When he came back to Eugene, he took a chunk of the University’s supplies for his church. The original idea, according to Kershner, was that the merchandise be stored for public use in case of total destruction. As it turned out, Hightower used the water barrels for storage on his farm, and his kids are eating the candy. He isn’t sure what the other church members did with their supplies, but he figures it hasn’t all been eaten yet. Hightower says he’s eager for more holocaust supplies. He could use some more barrels for storage…

This last piece of writing is about the cult classic movie “Animal House” that was filmed right here at the UO.
Script Writer Discusses Animal House Plot November 8, 1977 Originally, the movie “National Lampoon: Animal House,” was going to be a satire on Charlie Manson with a “where was he in ’63 plot line,” according to script writer Doug Kenney. “It was one of many possible plots and titles we went through,” says Kenney, as he lounges about the Animal House set. But the writers eventually hit upon the final setting and plot for the movie-a portrayal of campus life in the 1960s, based on Kenney’s own experiences at Harvard. Most of the movie was composed while sitting around the National Lampoon main office, and later an office at Universal Studios. “At night we would work up scenes,” Kenney says, “and we would meet each day to try them out on each other.” Even in the Manson days of the script, the writers had John Belushi in mind for the starring role. “He’s marvelous,” says Kenney of Belushi, “a kind of Dick Butkus sawed off at the knees. Kenney is the founder and present editor of National Lampoon, originally a Harvard humor magazine. As he moves around the Animal House sets, wearing pipe-cleaner antennae on his eyeglasses, and whipping out a slide rule at unsuspecting passersby, his odd character becomes obvious. His philosophy on humor is not profound. “At Lampoon we accept nothing if it’s not funny,” Kenney says. “We use it if it makes us go ‘ha, ha.’ It must stand as humor by itself. It can’t be political-then it would become satire.” Kenney is happy with the final form of the movie. “The campus genre is the oldest form of humor,” he says. “Look at the classics: ‘Horse Feathers,’ Buster Keaton, Dobie Gillis…Dobie Gillis! With Maynard G. Krebbs. Who can forget him?

On the set, John Belushi as the character Bluto, takes a look at a bottle of mustard. One eyebrow goes up, then the other. He takes the bottle of mustard and pours it on his chest. “I am the mus-tard man…,” he says. He then begins slapping his chest, spraying mustard all over the room. “The mustard man…” He begins wiping mustard over his body. “I have mustard in my hair. I have mustard on my…” “The 1960s were a time of relaxation,” says Kenney. “Students were still trying to avoid responsibility and were not yet ready for the individualist movement.” “Students in this film are resisting the change,” he says. “They are advocating the philosophy ‘fun is good.’” There are also references in the movie to the coming activist movement, buy the film’s characters don’t think much of it. “Christ,” comments Bluto in one of the scenes, “seven years of college down the drain. I might as well join the f------ Peace Corps.” The movie was written by “committee” according to Kenney, and he believes it was the perfect method. “When you are trying to create 30 characters, you need a group of people constantly contributing to keep it rolling.” Kenney’s specialty was coming up with appropriate names: Bluto, Otter, Flounder, Marmalard. In addition to overseeing the movie, Kenney has the role of “stork” in the film. “It’s a Parker House role,” he explains. He may be seen stalking around in bedsheet, leaves, or other garb. Today the movie crew will be acting in the EMU Fishbowl. Students will be permitted to walk through the set during the periods when the crew is not filming. However, during filming students will have to remain quiet. Students wearing nylon clothing are advised not to move, as the sound system picks up the nylon rustle. Most of the area surrounding the EMU will be curtained off to permit space for dressing rooms and authentic 1962 cars.

The Diary of Lucille Saunders McDonald Lucille came to the UO as a freshman in 1915 from Portland, Oregon. She didn’t continue at UO after her first year but she later donated her diary to the University. It is composed of entries and letters to her mother and sister back in Portland. Below are some excerpts from her diary. I started to walk up to the college this morning in a pouring rain and when I go out into the country without seeing a sign of the U. I asked how to get there and was informed it was about three miles in the other direction. So beginneth the woes of a freshie. (The house where I was staying was at 532 Lincoln Street.) n

You should see the big fat books I have for the course. This one cost $2.10 and looks like a small edition of the Encyclopedia. Did I tell you about all the freshie boys having to wear little, round, green caps? They marched them all down town one day in a regular parade with their pants pulled up to their knees and yelling a football yell and made them buy the caps. The boys that led them carried wooden swords and wore paper caps. We took off our duds and stood around talking with the other a little and soon Mr. Skelton appeared and walked over to me and told me his troubles. The frat (A.T.O) boys had greased his head with Vaseline and turned him loose with a collar and supposedly no tie. He, however, had secreted five on his person and when they finished searching him, he still had one left. The boy wanted me to invite him in so bad that he actually suggested it openly. I got all the fun I could out of it but I began to get tired of seeing him standing there, so I said goodbye in a hurry and went in. I tried to get some of the girls by phone to go with me, but failing, I went alone. Somehow it seems as though I must always go alone, always the same old howl. It would require so little to content me, just a spark of human companionship. You see, I’m still hunting with that lantern for what means to me a real friend.

I worked two hours today, had four classes, chased an Emerald story and helped decorate Villard Hall for the rally, incidentally paying out 10 for paper (the joy of being on a committee). As a birthday gift I’d like to send a report home of honor grades, but I fear that is beyond me. Journalism should have brought one but the exam, although easy, was so long that I ran over it very carelessly. I’ve been trying to write a 3,000 word short story for class and my thinker seems a trifle rusty for anything like that. I really do a good share of work on the Guard. There are only five of us in the editorial room , the city editor, society editor, telegraph editor, one reporter and now a second one, me. I am the first University girl who has ever attempted to do this. I know some of my studies will bring me more flunks, as I never pay much attention to them anymore. It’s a disgrace, but I’m quite busy enough… Well, I’ve had my first quarrel with Verna. It was over a trivial thing, but there was a good deal more under the surface. In other words, it was the inevitable outcome of a series of events. My roommate has been gradually getting crosser and more supercilious than ever this weekend and the last. The new city editor is already in the office. He is a pickle named Dill. He doesn’t impress me much.

Below is a yearbook entry from the freshman class of 1912. They thought they were a pretty cool group of students; can your freshman class live up?
Freshman History Last September, of 1911, three hundred and twenty-six would-be college students wended their way to the stately portals of Villard Hall, entered therein and recorded their names beneath the numerals 1915. With this act, the present Freshmen class was brought into existence- a class whose members, by choice and not by accident, look to Oregon as their Alma Mater. As a class, we believe that we have established a record which following freshmen classes will be forced to strive to their utmost to surpass. We placed our numerals on Skinner’s Butte and we most humbly displaced them; we sent forth a fearless football team to do battle with the Sophomores; our quintette of clever basketball players won second place in the interclass series; we were trampled upon in the push ball contest; ten wearers of the green cap were unmercifully dragged through the duck pond; our bonfire was the largest ever; the 1915 relay team won by a big margin, and the Freshmen Glee was a grand success. As individuals we believe that we have made good. We have representatives on the ‘Varsity in football and basketball. Early this season Coach Warner picked Virgil Noland and Bill Heusner to fill important positions on the first eleven, and Don Radar has proved himself the cleverest first year man who ever wore the stripes for Oregon. We have the material with which Bill Hayward expects to build his future track teams. We have been represented in debate and oratory. The bright smiling faces of the Freshman girls have brought joy to many a lonesome heart and awakened several of the upper-classman to the fact that they are alive. Now, as the first year of our college work is about to come to a close, a feeling of joy and one of sadness comes over us; — joy that the entire year has been such a happy and successful one, filled with incidents which shall always be remembered with pleasure; sadness that the best days of our college career have passed so rapidly. As Freshman we have solemnly pledged ourselves to love, honor, and respect the name Oregon. The spirit of our Alma Mater has grasped us, heart and soul and whatever may accomplish in this life, we hope that it shall be for the good of Oregon — a Greater Oregon.

Hey grads! Before you leave UO, make sure you can check off the following: Buy your new UOAA membership Attend Grad Fair Take a class with your favorite professor if you can, it might be the last time you see them. Participate in an internship (visit the Career Center to learn more). Stay on top of your degree audit via DuckWeb. Attend Senior Send-off Register for graduation at least a term before you plan to graduate! Have your picture taken with the Duck at graduation Talk with your academic advisor one more time to make sure you’re all set to graduate. Finish checking off your 100 things to do in Eugene list Below is an entry from a 1913 Oregon yearbook (called the Oregana) describing the history of the class of 1912. Perhaps this was done to motivate the seniors of 1913 to be the best they can. Can your senior class outshine the class of 1912?
Senior History According to all previous customs the class of 1912 believes and therefore styles itself the best class ever graduated by the University of Oregon. In numbers it is fact that proves us greatest. In wisdom, despite the harassing of “higher standards,” new grading systems and similar “mental hobble-skirts,” we have just claim to superiority. Perhaps, however, our greatness may be due to the difficulties under which we were obliged to labor. Was it not the class of ’12 that was the first and last to suffer directly from the indulgence in hazing? Has it not had to suffer longest the impertinences, the cockiness and the unbearable bravado of the freshmen class? Have we not bowed our heads under the time worn and most serious yoke of the referendum, dampering our spirits to soothe the overzealous consciences of some grouch state taxpayers? Under these distressing circumstances what have we done to keep alive the University? List, kind reader, while we elaborate upon our many promulgations for the ‘Varsity’s needs.

In the midst of the cries from the powers above to let not our exuberant spirits lead us to bring disastrous publicity upon our Alma Mater, and thereby prolong our wait for our appropriation, our men of literary ability originated the famed “Midnight Doughnut.” How did this help? Why, dear reader, that Midnight Doughnut was the essence of “pep” and with all its funny jokes, its sarcasms and compliments, it fostered that great necessity, “Oregon Spirit.” One of the greatest, and most beneficial of leagues followed this publication, namely the “Doughnut Baseball League.” It was originated by 1912 and through its efforts the league has later included basketball, track, and tennis. These league contests have developed Varsity material which otherwise might never have been heard of. In all college activities, 1912 has kept her light constantly burning, nor has it been dimmed by comparison. Naturally we “walloped” the class of the unlucky number in the annual struggle for supremacy in the football realm. And have not the starts of 1912 shone brilliantly and numerously on the Varsity football teams? And in the track, what have we done? We ask no better proof than our record of defeating all the classes combined and individually. In fact, we have carried athletics on our shoulders during our entire college career. As to Society, each and every senior is a lion in the college social life. As a class we have proven ourselves capable of giving “the dance” of the year ever since we decorated the old armory for our Freshman hop. Have we lost money? No indeed. The Senior class boasts of an overflowing treasury. We made the Oregana pay, we made the canoe carnival pay, in fact, everything has paid that we have laid our hands to, even going to college. But all joking aside, we are sorry to leave old Oregon, the happiest place on earth, the spot which has dealt us so much of good and has made us what we are, a class worthy of at least a little consideration. And as we pack our trunks preparatory to facing the cruel world, we hope that the classes we leave have become so saturated with our spirit that they will follow in our worthy footsteps. And if, in later years, the University should need aid, we will be more that glad to leave our seats in congress and out private offices to set you again on the right way to success.
