Olympic scientists invited
A week before the 1984 Sum
mer Olympics draws the world's
best athletes to Los Angeles,
thousands of experts in sports
and physical activity from
around the world will converge
on Eugene for the 1984 Olympic
Scientific Congress
The congress is a scientific
and cultural event where the
mechanics and philosophy of
sports are examined The event,
held in conjunction with every
Olympics, is being sponsored
by the University's College of
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation
"It's incredible that a pot
pourri of the best in their field
will converge on Eugene to
study sports and the way it
works," said Dan Tripps, ex
ecutive director of the event’s
Organizing Committee which is
based at the University
"In 1984, its going to be a
golden moment to be around
Eugene. To have that many men
concerned about sports, and
how to improve them, is going to
be impressive,
"It's just an incredible event,
and we think the University,
Eugene and the state will greatly
benefit from it."
The area's economy is one
aspect that should definitely
benefit. An estimated 4,000 to
6,000 delegates are expected,
which Tripps said, would make
it the biggest convention ever in
the area
Tripps said that according to
national figures on typical daily
expenditures at a convention,
the delegates and visitors are
likely to spend $3 5 million to
$5 5 million
"Of course the area will profit
financially, but also culturally
We want to to bring the city and
the University together and give
the delegates an idea of what
the, quote, unquote, Eugene
experience is like," said Tripps
"I think that one of the rea
sons why the University was
picked is because Eugene is
such a sports and culturally
orientated city."
The congress is being ex
tended from its normal four days
to seven days so delegates will
have more time to enjoy the
event Tripps expects a series of
concerts, ballets and other per
formances in Eugene to cele
brate the event
Also, to add to the "Eugene
flavor" other events, such as a
10 kilometer, half-marathon and
marathon runs are planned
An event of this size takes
much planning and selling,
Tripps said He estimated he
spends half of each month on
the road A great deal of that
time he is out of the country,
marketing the congress. This
week he is in Australia at the
Commonwealth Games ex
tolling the virtues of the con
gress and Eugene.
"I go to the, quote, lesser
games, like the Commonwealth
and the Pan-Am. informing
them of what we re trying to do.
and how the congress can help
them," Tripps said.
Often, he deals with people
who have never heard of the
congress, Eugene or even
Oregon.
"In Delhi, India, if you say Los
Angeles to someone, they
would say 'Disneyland,' if you
say Eugene, they would say.
excuse me, I don’t under
stand.' ”
"Once you get past that, it's
not so bad," Tripps said "It's
like marketing a frisbee in 1952,
its just a flat plate. We have to
show them it can fly "
