Photo by Bob Baker The new Donald R. Barker Stadium Club was built through private donations. New club rises in stadium By Brian Bubak Of Dm BmarmU The skeleton of 2 x 4s and plywood atop the east end of Autzen Stadium soon will become the Donald R Barker Stadium Club The facility, which is designed to be used as a meeting room for the football team, also will be used to entertain alumni and other VIPs before and during football games, says Harold Babcock, physical plant director When finished in mid-April, the stadium club will have one large room that can be divided into five smaller rooms using accordian-type room partitions In addition to meeting facilities, the stadium club also will house a kitchen, restrooms, storage areas and an elevator that allows access to physically handicapped and elderly people who may have difficulty negotiating the stairs The addition should not interfere with existing seating, Babcock says, adding that the club "will have a beautiful view of the total stadium." Visiting VIPs will enjoy a birds-eye view of the game's action through windows that allow guests to watch the game in comfortable surroundings But use of the facility will not be limited to athletic department activities. Babcock says Rather, the facility will be pushed to capacity by accommodating meetings that would otherwise take place in the crowded inner-campus area Funding for the $660,000 project comes from money and material donations given specifically for the stadium club addition, says Ray Hawk, vice president for administration and finance No money was lost from either the University's general budget or the operating budget of the athletic department, he says. Construction of the addition was delayed during the recent cold-snap that hit Eugene earlier this term, Hawk says He also noted the completion date of the project, which began in mid-September, has been extended from Feb 15 to April 15. The 76 x 74 foot structure was designed by Mention Hanns and associates, and is being built by Wildish Construction Company — both of Eugene The stadium club will be named, upon completion, in memory of the late Lane County lumberman, Donald Barker, according to Curt Simic, vice president of public affairs Barker, Simic says, was a man with "a great affection for athletics." Career fair brings pros to University Students and the general public will have an opportunity to meet directly with represen tatives from many different car eer fields at the University’s sixth annual Career Exploration Fair on Feb. 3. The morning session will consist of eight panel discus sions held in the EMU Ballroom The first four panels, which will meet from 10-11 am, will focus on marketing; media and arts; transportation, hotel and food occupations; and general ser vice careers. The second group of panels, which will meet from 11 a m. to noon, will consider finance; science and research; management and personnel; and education. From noon to 3 p.m., also in the EMU Ballroom, participants will be able to talk informally with approximately 70 profes sionals, asking them specific questions about their jobs or employing organizations "We’ve made a special effort to include representatives from career areas which have greater than average employment pro spects for college graduates of the 1980s,” says Debbie Cher eck, career development specialist with the University's Career Planning and Placement Service and the fair's coordina tor. “In fact, nearly one-half of the career fields represented fall into this category,” she notes These include energy research and development, marketing, computer technology, law, architecture, public relations and hospital administration. The event is jointly sponsored by the Career Planning and Placement Service, the Alumni Association, the ASUO, Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity and the Student University Relations Council. Architecture group helps old dwellings An architectural design team of two faculty members and three students from the Univer sity architecture and allied arts school has been chosen to compete in a national design competition on saving energy in historic buildings. The team is composed of professors G.Z. Brown and Donald Peting and students Jeff Hoover and Kurt Schultz of Eugene and Tim Richard of Lebanon. Eight teams have been selected for the final stage of the competition. The challenge of the design project is to strike a balance between preserving the historic building and putting it to new uses on the one hand and con serving energy on the other, Brown explains. Not all energy conservation methods, for ex ample, are suitable for historic buildings The competition is sponsored by the National Building Mu seum, the Association of Col legiate Schools of Architecture, the American Institute of Archi tects, the National Trust for His toric Preservation and the Na tional Park Service to advance the state of the art in conserving energy in historic buildings The team chose the Union Iron Works Turbine Machine Shop in Alameda, Calif., for its design project. According to Brown, new retail, commercial and residential uses for the large building will generate considerable heat in the struc ture, making cooling a key problem. The use of daylighting will be one important element in their design, Brown says, because that allows for reduction in ar tificial lighting which puts heat into a building. jam Cultural Forum * Kayatowa Family praaanl cis!2 m "O’ WTiAG && v*. ^ ,^V< S' <5^ - SG^» ^\0 ^ AVV' sc. kc "s__. *KC'V ,^o ^° .
