Olympic flame to light Eugene
By Ken Armstrong
Of the Emerald
At approximately 4 p.m. )uly 18, Eugeneans
will participate in an Olympic marathon, but they
won't be going for the gold.
The Olympic Torch Relay, which began in the
1936 Olympic games in Berlin, serves as the sym
bolic transferring of the Olympic flame from
Greece to the current site of the Olympic Games,
It will prove to be the longest, most complicated
marathon in the event's history, says Dave
Underhill, Public Relations Director of AT&T
Communications in Oregon.
The flame will traverse a distance of about
12,000 miles in approximately 80 days. Organizers
hope to cover about 130 miles a day.
AT&T is footing the $3 million bill of this year's
relay.
The Eugene YMCA is working in conjunction
with AT&T to ensure that Lane County's leg of the
journey runs smoothly.
The torch relay will begin (as it always does) in
Olympus, Greece, the site of the first Olympic
Games. Runners will then carry the torch to
Athens and from there the flame will be flown to
New York City.
Once in New York, the flame's transcontinen
tal journey begins.
The flame will leave New York May 8, and will
continue throughout the country, passing
through every state in the nation and carried by
Americans from all walks of life. When it arrives in
the Los Angeles Coliseum, the final torch will be
lit which formally begins the 23rd Olympiad.
The runners are people from across the na
tion who desire to take part. There is a catch,
however. It requires a donation of $3000 for each
kilometer run. Sponsors get to keep the torches
they sponsored. Donors have the option of runn
ing themselves or choosing runners to relay the
torch for them.
Don Baird, the promotions consultant for the
Eugene YMCA, says he hopes the relay will "move
your hearts and minds toward the Eugene and
Eugeneans, such as left' Petrie and Donna
Wilson, will participate in an Olympic
"marathon" of sorts when the Olympic
Torch Relay runs through Eugene July 18.
Springfield youth."
For information on sponsorship, contact
either the Eugene YMCA or Al Rogers, who is
organizing the relay in the Eugene area, at
485-4100.
ROTC committee launches investigation
The newly established ROTC
tact-finding committee decided
Wednesday to meet in two weeks
with principle individuals involv
ed in the issue.
In the first meeting of the six
member committee appointed
last week by University Pres. Paul
Olum, Chair James O'Fallon em
phasized that the group's charge
remains a purely fact-finding one.
"Our purpose is to identify the
factual issues with regard to
ROTC," he said. "Obviously, the
genesis of this problem is the
ROTC question — finding out
what the procedures of the ROTC
are and documenting them."
In order to aid its search for
facts relating to ROTC and its
possible violation of University af
firmative action guidelines, the
committee decided to hold an
open meeting with the individuals
most closely involved in the issue,
including military science depart
ment head Col. Steven Wolfgram,
philosophy Prof. Cheyney Ryan,
former campus American Civil
Liberties Union head Doug
Marker, and various other faculty
and administration members.
"From what we get out of the
meeting we ought to be able to
build a set of detailed inter
rogetories. The fact of the matter
is that people don't know what
the rules are," O'Fallon said.
The open meeting will take
place Dec. 14 at 3:30 p.m. in the
graduate school conference room
in Chapman Hall.
School of Lacu
