You Make
The Grad
For years now we've been helping students
with the high cost of a college education. In
fact, we've helped so many students over
the years, that all U.S. Bank Student loans
from the Eugene/Springfield area are now
processed through our Campus branch.
We want you concentrating on making the

how to pay the tuition. Come see us. We'd
like to help.

IMAGINATION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE™

If the University is ever called
upon to produce a mystery, it can
present the Odd Fellows Cemetery,
commonly referred to as the Pioneer
Cemetery. Like a century-old enigma,
it clings to the south edge of the
University on 18th Avenue and has
persevered while Eugene grew
around it.
Predating University classes by
three years, the International Order of
Oddfellows Cemetery of Eugene, its
original title, was formed in 1873 and
plots were put on the market.
In the 100-plus years since the first
burial in September of 1873, the
cemetery has survived attempted
relocations and, in turn, has evolved
into a multi-purpose area with dif
ferent appeal to different people.
This obelisk is just one of the many types of
monuments in the Pioneer Cemetery.
For some it offers a wooded
area for a tranquil jog; for others
it’s a place to get loud and
rowdy late at night, as evidenc
ed by empty beer cans, broken
liquor bottles and toppled
tombstones.
Some have looked at the
scrambled array of plant life and
called it an eyesore, while
others are intrigued by the
variety of trees, shrubs and
flowers.
A few people come to pay
respects to specific grave sites,
but many more come out of
curiosity. And the curiosity
seekers are not left wanting.
A plethora of monuments and
tombstones, many of 19th cen
tury origin, grace the cemetery,
and the setting is unlike any
modem graveyard.
With the exception of occa
sional mowings, the area
receives little care so the trees
and shrubs appear wild and
natural.
Though not open to traffic,
wide roadways are maintained
and navigable throughout the
cemetery, yet years of students
hurrying to classes have created
meandering paths, worn
smooth and brown.
All these, the criss-crossing of
paths and roadways, the un
managed flora and the age of the
cemetery combine to give it a
special, yet undefinable,
ambiance.
A leisurely stroll through the
graveyard can provide images
of stark contrast. One gravesite
marked with a small, simple,
oblong headstone, reminiscent
of a TV western’s version of a
Boothill marker, lies not far
from an elaborate monument
featuring benches and slabs ar
ranged in a stepping stone
manner.
One’s eye is likely to be
drawn skyward by a towering
statue of a Civil War soldier in
uniform with a rifle, but in so
doing, a person might step on
one of the small, flat markers
that lay ground level and quiet
ly note one of the cemetery’s
4,000-odd burials.
Just as likely, a person will be
attracted by the occasional and
sparse, bright floral arrange
ment adorning some headstone.
The reds and yellows that
usually make up such assort
ments seem to jump out of the
browns and greens that
dominate the cemetery.
Nearly as prominent as the
bright colors are the immaculate
grave sites. Most of the plots
receive none but the barest of
maintenance, and those few
that are weeded, groomed and
decorated stand out as their
neighbors are overgrown with
foliage and have headstones
caked in decaying moss.
A walk through the cemetery
at night can be just as in
teresting, even if it’s a night
without drunks and vandals.
No self-respecting graveyard
would be without its share of
bats, and the Pioneer Cemetery
is no exception. “Bats forage
and feed there at night,” says
Gordon Murphy of the Univer
sity’s biology department.
Because the cemetery is one
of the favorite local feeding
areas of bats, another member of
the biology department, Prof.
James Simmons, sometimes
takes classes there at night,
Murphy says.
Using a receiver that picks up
the high frequency emissions of
bats and makes them audible,
Simmons is able to let his class
hear the noises of the bats
squeaking as they dart and dive
after insects.
Yet another member of the
faculty, geography Prof. Carl
Johannessen, has used the
