Mt St. Helens after eruption
By Sandy Johnstone
Of the Emerald
The development of technology for
computer graphics will be the subject of
the First Annual Pacific Northwest Com
puter Graphics Conference Oct 25-26
Conference coordinator Gene
Bressler says visual simulations created
with computer technology are applicable
to many fields
"Simulation is one of the most impor
tant mechanisms decision makers
have, says Bressler
Because computers can simulate real
life, various situations can have a trial run
on the computer with no dangerous or
expensive consequences, he adds
"Let the computer make the mistake
not the architect," says Bressler. an
it
architecture
professor "(Com
puter graphics) are not ^
a cure-al! for all problems. „
but they are a useful tool for society
In the past, computers were only for
computer scientists." he says "Now
they're for people like me."
The two-day event, expected to draw
some 600 participants to Eugene, brings
12 leaders in computer graphics
together at the Eugene Hilton Hotel and
Conference Center, in what Bressler
hopes will become an annual event
Randall Stickrod, editor and publisher
of the San Francisco publication Com
puter Graphics World, will discuss the
evolution, current applications and fu
ture trends in the keynote address at 7:30
p m Oct 25.

Of the 6,000 tickets reserved specifically for students, Hunt
Holsapple, ticket manager for the athletic department says
1,000 tickets will be sold at the gate, to the general public, at
$15.50 a shot.
Holsapple expects the game to be a sell-out, but standing

on what the fire marshall says Autzen Stadium will safely
accomodate.

be addressed by Andy Lippman, archi
tecture-machine group director at Mass
achusetts Institute of Technology.
Other speakers will demonstrate com
puter graphics applications, which were

which guide engineers in designing new
Boeing planes and General Motors cars.
Computer graphics used in landscape
architecture, electronic publishing and
environmental analysis also will be high
