University map library traces culture
By MARY MASSIE
Of the Emerald
The way University map
librarian Ed Thatcher sees it.
maps are an important part of
our lives
“Everybody should have a
grandmother whose attic is
filled with old maps,'' says
Thatcher, who came to the
University in 1952 as a science
librarian and soon afterward
began padding the University's
map collection
The University has since
combined the main library's and
the geography department's
collections, and houses them in
165 Condon
"It's a merged collection of
the main library's and
geography's teaching and
research materials.'' says
Thatcher “And it's one of the
largest collections on the West
Coast ”
The University map library is
one of few collections on the
West Coast in which*maps,
atlases and aerial photographs
are located in a single collec
tion Thatcher says , / *
“This is fortunate because
frequently maps and aerial*
photos are used by a student for.
a single project, or^for
research." he says ^
Maps remain an excellent^,
source for understanding any
historical period's culture^ ‘
Thatcher note's 1 "We 'are
frequently being asked* by
architecture students^for earlyy
maps of Eugene which,date
back to 1892 '
"Then we have maps of the
city up to the present Between
University map librarian Ed Thatcher stands
beside a molehill of maps, but the library's map
collection contains a mountain of them Many
students use the maps for class work
those two periods, there is all
.the difference in the world, in
what man has put on the lands
cape. and what nature (the
Willamette River, for instance)
has done in erosion
Thatcher calls thee early'
Oregonjhaps some of the most &
^interesting contained inJthV
^library” Pioneers issued‘'these
maps, dating back to the 1850s
and 60s, encouraged "eas
terners'; to settle’-ironically
... , p
e the reverse of one present-day
Oregon ideology ■
/^This propaganda was'put*
,out* by^ the^railroads*ahcl the
territory of Oregon'1^ he says
v "These maps describe inflow- u
• ing ^language the glories of *
Oregon, ,the»lofty«mountain /
* wt
peaks, and the great soil of the
Willamette Valley, which is not
all that fertile — it's just green "
■ ^Coastline erosion is another
‘phenomenon that can be
’^measured on maps,>ac says
Thatcher:w | cV0'/
"The most costly change on
the coast is where sand spits
have formed Houses have
been.built on them.'-then.the
spits erobe and cause the loss
of^the building " One place
where sand spots have formed
is at Nehalem. near Tillamook
«. Thatcher»says the‘library's
oldest map is one.of the1Pacificv
• Northwest coast, dated 1791
.,Equally old are collection maps
of France and Germany While
, ** ^ j
T. ^ a m
okl maps are rarely added to (he
collection, new maps are added
all the time, he says
In the summer of 1978 a
geography student was sent to
the Library of Congress in
Washinton. DC. and there
selected maps and atlases for
the library "The gift has an es
dimated value of $20,000, says
Thatcher * ° *£!•«? tF
The library is always open to
gifts, no matter what the age or
state of deterioration, he says
*"No map is too old to have been
superseded ^ '

Negligence
suit filed
by mother
A $100,000 negligence
suit against the University
has been filed in Lane
County Circuit Court by the
mother of a 17-year-old
student who died from a stab
wound he received in the
basement of the Bean Hall
dorm complex Februray,
1977
Socorro Villalobos claims
in the suit that the University
helped create a dangerous
situation of "cliques and
cultural gangs" in the
equivalency program for
minority students of which
her son, Ricardo, was a
member She claims this si
tuation might have been
avoided if the minority
students had not boeh
placed together in the same
dorm complex
Federica Pa/, of Caldwell,
Idaho, pleaded guilty to first
degree manslaughter in the
Villalobos case, and is now
serving a prison term Pa;
was also in the high school
equivalency program
The negligence suit claims
the University also did not
attempt to prevent the use of
alcohol and drugs in the
dorms and did not assign
"competent supervisory per
sonnel" to the complex
The trial date has not yet
been set
