‘Storm the Butte’ run Sunday
will swarm Spencers Butte
A first ever “Storm the Butte”
run will be staged this Sunday,
July 8 at Spencers Butte south of
Eugene.
STUDENTS-FACULTY
Bible-Theology Study Group
Tuesday at noon
Worship
Thursday at noon
Cooperative Christian Ministry
1414 Kincaid
686-3597
Sponsored by the Oregon Track
Club, which hopes the road run
will become an annual event, the
race will begin at 7 p.m.
Registration will be at 6:30 at the
bottom of the butte at Spencers
Butte Park. An entry fee of 50
cents will be charged.
The competition of storming
the butte will not be the emphasis
according to the OTC. Rather,
getting to the top is. And the
runners may storm the butte in
any manner possible: up the
winding switch-back trail or up
the rugged face of the butte.
Upon reaching the summit all
runners will be given a “Storm
the Butte” T-shirt to wear as they
bask in the sunshine atop the
butte while recovering from the
ordeal of making it to the top.

Pro tennis tour
hosted in Eugene
This is the week tennis fans
normally cast their attention to
Wimbledon. The tournament in
England is the top tournament in
the world. Wimbledon has a
sacred place in sports history and
annually attracts the world’s best
men and women tennis players.
This year the men’s competition
is something of a joke because all
but a few of the top pros have
boycotted the tournament due to
the banning of Nicki Pilich of
Rumania.
So while Wimbledon is seeing
its worst tournament in years,
Eugene is seeing the best tennis
ever to come to the Northwest.
This weekend the Pacific Nor
thwest Lawn Tennis Association
Grand Prix comes to the Eugene
Swim and Tennis Club.
Although the big names of
tennis won’t be on hand, tour
nament director Denby Mackie is
extremely happy with the quality
of tournament entrants. The

evening. The meets begin at 5:30

charged of each competitor and
the fee entitles the participant to
