To be a ‘dictionary of America’ Oregon student plans Bicentennial book By RICK BELLA Of the Emerald The Original Bicentennial Al manac' will be a 96-page ‘dictio nary of America'' if founder publisher Barry Hood can find fi nancial backing. Hood, a university senior in journalism, has published 50 copies of a 20-page "mini version.' He is presenting the model to prospective financial backers in hopes of finding one who will help him get the book dis tnbuted nationally. I m hoping to get the almanac MAM MAM M A t sold through newsstands," says Hood. "And I'm hoping for sub scriptions totalling 500,000.' Hood says associate producer Jay Bolton is negotiating with sev eral firms. They hope to obtain $100,000 to $150,000 for the pro ject. The almanac will contain sec tions on gardening, fishing, weather tables, astronomical ta bles, nutrition and cooking and will be adorned by copies of original historical engravings. The engravings are called electrotypes," says Hood. ,1 c lhr origin*; AMKRK A S "'.x< VMKUU «:ati him. bum - i* momm ««w , I.AKIM MV.

One of the borders I used came from a book owned by Eric Allen—the man the journalism school building is named after.” But, most important, Hood says, are the sections that contain the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Con stitution. Also included among these American documents is a copy of the Declaration of Univer sal Human Rights drafted by the United Nations in the 1940s. These documents are greatly overlooked in our times,” says Hood. I wanted to give people a place where they can be easily referenced. I firmly believe that if one doesn't know his rights, then essentially, he doesn’t have any rights.” Hood intends to market the al manac at $1 per copy “to make the cost comparable to other al manacs of the same size.” Pointing out what he calls a “bonus,’ Hood says his almanac will cover I8 months from July, I976, to December, I977. Al manacs have traditionally co vered a one-year period from January to December. Hood says he got editing help from his wife Connie. The art, in cluding some original graphic il lustrations, was done by Bob Hempel. I really needed their help during finals,” Hood says. Although Hood is a journalism student at the University, he says he received little practical direc tion from the faculty. "I didn't find any profs with experience in this sort of project," Hood says. “They sent me off to marketing over in Gilbert Hall. I think the J-school should offer a more practical ap proach to journalism," he says. Hood praised Lane Community College s program for giving him the insight to be able to avoid 90 per cent of the production costs in the mini-version." “I learned more about produc tion from my work with the TORCH (LCC’s weekly newspaper) than I have in the J-school," Hood says. Pete Peterson's (the TORCH advisor) practical instruction is paying off.” Mac Court (Continued from Pagel) the ASUO, then an independent corporation, contracted with Lawrence and Hotford, Portland architects, to design a basketball pavillion. Acting on behalf of the students in the negotiations was Jack Benefiel. fulFtime graduate manager of athletics hired by the students. Financing of Mac Court was handled entirely by the student government through the floating of $1,000 and $5,000 government bonds. The only costs paid by the University, uncovered by the re search, were 639 opera chairs at a cost of $2,875. The building was completed and opened for student use by December, 1926. By 1930, the ASUO had established offices in the facility—an operational head quarters it maintained until 1951 when it moved into the EMU. The final cost of Mac Court, $208,445.65, was paid off by the students in 1932 with a mortgage-burning ceremony held to celebrate the event. Specific re ference to the completion of pay ment is made in the 1932-33 Oregana. Student control of use and scheduling of the facility con tinued until 1936 when a State Board of Higher Education revi sion in the organization of athle tics began to phase them out. Dur ing the 1920s and early 1930s. operation of inter-collegiate athle tics on the University campus was conducted by ASUO Inc. through their graduate manager. But due to the State Board decision in 1936. a Department of Intercol legiate Athletics was established and the ASUO graduate manager and his assistants were out of jobs. The new department's emp loyes salaries were paid by the state. From that point on, student government was slowly-but surely eased out of control over the McArthur Court facility. Stu dent input was maintained for a time by the creation in 1936-37 of an Athletics Activities Board (AEB) consisting of faculty, ad ministrators, and students. The student chairer of the board main tamed an office in Mac Court along with an ASUO ticket clerk, bookkeeper, and the ASUO News Bureau. Over the next few years, how ever, the bookkeeper and ticket clerk positions were eliminated until by 1943 the AEB chairership was the only control the students retained. And in 1948. administra tive action effectively eliminated even that. During the summer months that year University Pres. Newbury dissolved the AEB and with it the last real student control of Mac Court. Since 1926 and the original stu dent investment of over $208,000, the capitalized value of McArthur Court has increased to $782,695 (July, 1975. figures). The Univer sity currently retains sole control of use and scheduling for the high-cost facility and it is its right to do so that the ASUO is contesting. Actually, as far as we are con cerned, we own the building,” says Donley. But what we re pur suing right now is the control angle. Since our funds went to pay for it at least we should have some say in determining how it's used.” BAGELS Bagels and Cream Cheese 35 New York Cheese Cake 00 Gian!
