Autzen hook-up aids
constipated sewer line
Whether or not they realized it,
spectators at the Oregon-Pacific
home football game Sept. 3 could
sit a little softer in their seats, due
to the successful efforts of
workers who installed a new
sewage system at Autzen Stadium.
For two weeks prior to the
game, employees from Station
Construction, Inc., of Eugene,
labored in and around the
stadium in order to connect the
existing sewage system with the
city's main sewer line. And accor
ding to Cliff Flacey, the physical
plant engineer who designed the
project, the change came none
too soon.
"Previously, Autzen Stadium
had septic tanks and leach tields,"
he says of the old sewage system.
"It wasn't really adequate and
during sports events you have a
lot of sewage flow."
In addition, Flacey says the pro
ject was necessary because the
health department required that
the year-old executive club be
connected to the city sewer
system.
This summer, the city tern
porarily stalled Flacey's plans
when it announced that the new
main sewer line cannot accept
solids until the spring of 1984.
Thus, the septic tanks were retain
ed to "intercept solids,” accor
ding to the University report to
the State Board of Higher
Education.
Workers meanwhile removed
the leach tanks, which act as a
filtering system.
"They laid 1,200 feet of eight
inch sewer lines," he adds, prais
ing the $53,580 project for its
efficiency.
"The contractor did a heck of a
job and got it in shape for the first
game," Flacey says.
Next summer, Flacey hopes the
stadium will be entirely con
nected to the Eugene sewage line.
He adds that workers will pro
bably be more prepared for what
lies under the surface the second
time around.
"We really didn’t know what
was down there when we started.
We had a pretty good idea, but we
didn't know for sure."
Ballroom bills toga party
as world's 'largest ever'
Grab your roommate's sheets, yank some ivy from a hallowed hall
and twist on over to the EMU Ballroom Friday night for the world's
largest — yes, largest — toga party ever.
Playing at the historical bash will be the one and only Kingsmen,
who rose to fame 20 years ago with the classic rock hit, "Louie, Louie,"
which has sold over 13.5 million copies and is the fifth all-time best sell
ing rock single. Some critics have hailed the group as the "greatest party
band of all time."
The party kicks off a national tour by the Kingsmen, who hope to re
release Richard Berry's "Louie, Louie," considered one of the top party
tunes ever. On hand will be national and local newspaper and television
reporters to record the event.
The Kingsmen were in Eugene just one month ago filming a toga
video for funky dance-music television station MTV. Toga parties were
staged at several fraternities, including the now famous "Animal
House" on 11th Avenue, where the late John "Bluto" Belushi and his
barbarian frat brothers starred in the movie of the same title. MTV ex
pects to air the toga special early this month.
Tickets are available at the EMU Main Desk and Earth River Records
for $5 in advance and $6 on toga day.
