Step Aside, Boys

student athletes competing for
NCAA schools arc women

Fire Prone
Eugene's first university ex
perienced a short life. Columbia
College, located at 19th Avenue
and Chamelton Street, was
opened in early November. 1856
with 52 students. Four days
later, it burned to the ground.
Rebuilt, it was destroyed by fire
a second time in 1858. A third
building was started but never
completed, the remnants of
which were finally lorn down in
1867.
Coke Primer
Coca-Cola has been around
for a long time In fact, this is
the 100th anniversary of Coke's
secret formula. Now there arc a
handful of Coca-Cola products,
and at one time the company
even tried their hand at wine.
Coke’s Wine Spectrum unit was
sold in 1983 because of unrealiz
ed profits and stiff competition
from Gallo Wineries.
Currently, Coke holds 29 per
cent of the soft-drink market;
Pepsi holds 23 percent. Each
percentage of the market is
worth $300 million.
Humungous
When it was created in 1851
by the territorial government.
I^anc County occupied about
one-half of the future stale’s land
area, roughly the entire southern
part of the state. In 1854.
however, it was cut down to vir
tually its present shape when
Wasco County was formed and
then divided up.
Varsity Executives
Of the 1700 senior executives
from 500 of the largest U.S. cor
porations surveyed by Kom
Fcrry International executive
recruiters, over half of them said
they had played varsity sports in
college That's not a bad
average, considering only 2 per
cent of all college students ever
play varsity sports.
Secret Passages
There arc underground tun
nels leading to every building on
campus — 3.38 miles of them at
last count. During the 70s. the
tunnels reputedly were a safe
haven for someone who wanted
to drop a little acid or smoke a
joint, or those looking for some
adventure.
Today, access is restricted and
the tunnels continue to serve as
conduits for pipes and wiring,
and as access for utility
maintenance.

there because they want to hear a
hand rather than just drink."
Baker also likes to play in
basements because “people
come to see you That adds to
the atmosphere.” he says, “for
our type of music, anyway.”
Dec says he also likes to play
"venues where all ages can
come.” such as private parlies
and the WOW Hall
A common complaint is that
some venues, especially
Taylor's and the WOW Hall
tend to lean hx> much toward
blues, reggae and "Dead
music.” and could be more open
to other styles
Besides a lack of variety of
music in the existing clubs and
halls, many of the Eugene bands
feel there is an overall lack of
venues and public support for
Itxal music
“There's not thai many places
to play.” Dec says "What I
think would really help is if
there was more than one venue
with a nice atmosphere geared
toward promotion ot art.”
rather than just for business in
terests. He feels that if there
were such venues, the Eugene
audiences would be more sup
portive toward the arts and the
development of artists.
Two possibilities mentioned
arc The Rib Cage at 13th
Avenue and Hiiyard Street, and
Condon School at 18th Avenue
and Agate Street in the east cam
pus area. The Rib Cage has
started presenting music on
weekends, but has had trouble
getting off the ground, and
“people just aren't used to go
ing” to Condon School. Swan
says It often takes a few shows,
he says, to break in a new place
lor people to attend regularly.
“It's really difficult." Dee
says, “for artists to cultivate and
maintain a quality act. because
there isn't a great market for
new bands or existing bands.
You really have to be willing to
go the extra yard when you can't
be sure there's a payoff down
the road "
"You can be a moderately big
deal in Eugene." Martin sa\s.
"and have a lot ol people know
you. and still not make any
money here"
Brundoggie. who plans to
move lo San francisco soon 10
start a new band with former
members of El3, a Eugene hand
that moved there last year,
agrees
“Even the Crazy 8s had to go
on Star Search to get
anywhere.” he says.
Martin says the possibility of
relocating is always a topic of
discussion among local musi
cians hoping to make more
money and gain a larger follow
ing. but [.atarski feels that even
that effort can be futile. “When
you go to a bigger market, you
generally wdl play less often."
Latarski says, “at least for
awhile." because other bands
with a strong local following in
the larger cities will already
have most of the gigs there sewn
up
In spite of all the problems,
though, the fantasy lives on.
'■Unless you have people who
are really dreamers and really
believe they can make it." Dee
says, "the (artistic) world
becomes difficult and trying. "
And they don't quit "Even
though we don't make a lot of
money doing what we do."
Thorpe says, "we like to play
music I wouldn't trade it for
anything."
