Blueprint
for success
The sun glared down through a skylight as it
eased across the sky toward noon. Five planners
hovered over a table in the center of the room/ conti
nuing to carefully, plot and section out the territory.
They had been up all night, and sleep was heavy in
their eyes. A radio on the floor -broadcasted soft
classical music.
This was not a military strategy session. It was
the American Institute of Architecture Students’
third annual design charette at the University, a
three-day contest in conceptual urban planning.
This year, the problem was to plan improvements for
Bund and Outlying areas.
The charette begun at:3 pm. Friday in lawrence
Hall with seven teams of University architecture
students led by a professor or practicing architect,
competing only for token prizes and the chance to
say it was the best. .Teams were given untilnoon
Sunday to complete the project.

In a large room, organizers1 gave the teams
background information on Bend, and instructions
and resources for dealing with the problem
For the next several hours., team members
poured over city planning charts, contour maps and
aerial photographs, exchanging ideas on how to at
tack the problem. Most teams decided to center ef
forts on developing Bend's tourist trade, improving
its traffic circulation through downtown and luring
high-tech industry into the area.
Each team then traced road maps, photographs
and planning charts, deleting and adding features
wherever needed. Some buildings wore torn down
and new ones built. Some parks were paved, and
others were expandeci.
By 2 a.m., nearly everyone had gone home. On

Most team members were back at work by H a m
Saturday, and by that evening, most of them had
decided on plans and went working on finished pro
ducts. throe 30-by-40-inch drawings showing the
improved city.
Aland half of the teams worked straight through
from Saturday morning to the Sunday noon
deadline. When organizers came around to collect
the completed entries, participants let nut fatigued
sighs and went home to sleep, waiting for the judg
ing to be completed.
At the 6:30 p m. awurd ceremony, first prize

was given to a leani led by Henry Fit/.gibbon, a
Portland architect. Team members, who each receiv
ed a pen set worth about $45. included <Irani Faust,

chitecture; Nguyen Lam. second year, architecture;
(leorgo l>ew. graduate, architecture; Debra Shown,

lit/.gibbon said he stressed a team approach and
"brainstorm programming” in solving the assigned
problem."It was really a 100 percent effort." he
said.
The purpose of the contest was to provide city
planners in Bend with ideas for dealing with the
future of their city, while giving students practical
experience in urban planning, said Lance Nichols,
the University's American Institute of Architects
chapter president and contest organizer.
Organizers began planning the contest about
nine months ago. In August, they sent letters to 26
cities in Oregon in order to find a city interested in
helping and in what the contest could offer.
"Wo selected Bend for its enthusiasm, the quali
ty of support and diversity." said Kd Pieterick.

Self Help
Stories by Lorrie Moore
Wives are tike cockroaches Also part of a great historical tradi
tion They will survive you after a nuclear attack — they are tough
and hardy and travel in packs — but right now they're not having
any fun '
The above quote, from How To Be An Other Woman, contains both humor
(the comparison) and sadness (perhaps an insight to America s diminishing tradi
tional ideals) and is only one small example of the power that emerges from Lor
ne Moore's stories Self Help is a volume of work that will elevate your senses
(she is capable of seeing so much) and can tear your heart out with laughter and
remorse Stylistically, anything goes For the most part Moore composes in a
slick, second person point of view which allows more freedom with direct state
ment observation and oftentimes, recording of the thought process And it’s this
directness that gives her characters life, makes them real, often tragic, but
real These stories lump
In Go Like This" a young woman is dying of cancer She makes the
monumental decision to take her own life and gathers her friends for support —
This is not a deranged act. I explain Most of them have known for
quite a while my belief that intelligent suicide is almost always
preferable to the stupid lingering of a graceless death
"Go Like This" is perhaps the best story in the volume, but other stones
(notably What Is Seized. To Fill" and Amahl and the Night Visitors A Guide
to the Tenor of Love") invite comparison In To Fill. Riva, a department store
manager is losing touch with herself due to her declining marriage and her
hypochondriac mother
"I grow so incomprehensible I am stealing more and more money
I keep it in my top drawer beneath my underwear along with my
diaphram and my lipstick and my switchblade, these are things a
woman needs
"Self Help" is a delightful collection and quite memorable for its emotional
impact Lorrie Moore is a writer to seek out and study
