|Ems draw sports-aholic^ By E G. WHITE-SWIFT Of the Emerald With the Olympic Trials finished until the next leap year, and the Kamikaze Kids a fading memory of winter, what is a Eugene sports-ahohc to do? You could try a hit of little league baseball, or organize a softball team to satisfy the urge for sweating competition. But if you are a confessed non-participant, the only sport in town is the pro fessional baseball of Eugene s frnazing Ems. The Ems are defending champ ions of the Class A Northwest League.The club is operated by the Emerald Baseball Club and uses the 5,500 capacity Civic Stadium at 20th Avenue and Wil lamette Street. It is affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds, which pro vides the players and player’s salaries. The Northwest League consists of seven teams separated into a northern division of three inde pendent (unaffiliated) teams and four affiliated teams in the south ern division. The season consists of 72 games, followed by a best of three games playoff between divi sion leaders for the champion ship. The Emazing Ems won the league championship last year, defeating the independent Port land Mavericks of the Northern Program accredited Architecture staff members and students can heave a sigh of relief now. The nerve-racking process of reaccreditation is finished for the bachelor of architecture prog ram and the result was positive: accreditation renewal for the next five years. In addition, the master of ar chitecture program received its in itial formal accreditation, also for the next five-year penod. The National Architectural Ac crediting Board approved these two accreditations early this month, citing the University s ar chitecture department for its "in novative approaches, its well structured curriculum and the evi Canadians set birthday picnic In the space of one week, two countnes will be celebrating their ongins Sunday, of course, is the Fourth of July, and next Thursday is Canada's Dominion Day.

Wilmot Gilland, head of the ar chitecture department, says the reaccreditation of the bachelor program was the biggest hurdle of the two since it contains the most students. Some 600 stu dents are enrolled in it, while 59 are in the master program. Division in the Playoffs. The Ems, following in the footsteps of their big-brother Cincinnati Reds, won twice as many games as they lost last year in compiling 54 victories against only 25 defeats. Returning for the third year for the Ems is George McPherson, the Northwest League All-Star centerfielder. He led the league in triples and stolen bases last year. He is also one of the few players to establish tenure with the hometown fans. A quiet civic stadium comes to life when old number three is introduced by the game announcer, Kamikaze Kid Ernie Kent. The season is only twelve games old, so there is plenty of time for the sports-aholic to get on the ground floor with an estab lished winner. Games usually start at 7:45 p.m. for single games and 6:30 p.m. for the occasional double-headers. The Emazing Ems schedule from today through July 12: at Seattle today, Wednesday, Thursday; at Bellingham Friday, Saturday, Sunday; at Eugene July 8, 9 (against Boise); at Eugene July 10, 11, 12 (against Seattle).

Lane County’s ‘Wolf man" Barry Lopez, of Finn Rock, will present a program on surviving wolves in Alaska and Min nesota. Lopez recently spent four months in those states studying wolves in their natural environment. He observed the actions of officials dealing with wolves and official handling of wolf problems. Lopez had the opportunity to photograph wolf “kills’’ in Alaska from government helicopters, as the local offi cials were unaware that he was a journalist. His reports helped alter the wolf program in Alaska. He is best known for his na ture essays and photographs that have appeared in Audubon Magazine, North American Review, Reader's Digest, and Travel and Leis ure. He recently published his own book, “Desert Notes: Re flections in the Eye of a Raven," which is a collection of environmental essays and stark photographs. The program will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Lamb Cottage at Skinner s Butte Park in down town Eugene. It will be pre ceded by a potluck picnic at 6:30 p.m., also at Lamb Cot tage. To find Lamb Cottage, fol low High Street, turn left at the curve where First Street should be and follow the park road for about two blocks. The meeting is free and open to the public. 1 11!
