Research park location opposed by students By Will Holbert Of th«* Kmrrald The fate of the Southbank Riverside soccer field was among the topics discussed Tuesday night at a Eugene [Man ning Commission public hear ing on the proposed Riverfront Research Park. Concerns about the field, which is located between the railroad tracks and the Autzen Stadium footbridge, were raised by three University students who attended the meeting. Students often use the field for soccer and other sports events. Dan Stotter, a law student at the University, appealed to the commissioners during public testimony to consider student opposition to the research park, particularly any changes to the Southbank field. “The City should realize that Field displacement topic of public hearing it will be negatively affecting a large group of its constituents,” Stutter said of the city’s support for the research park. Stutter also read to the com missioners a student ballot measure he’s proposing for the upcoming ASUO election. The ballot measure would make stu dent opposition to construction on the field official and calls for the appointment of a liaison to the University Planning Office who would lobby for preserving the field. Before the meeting, Stutter said opposition to building on the Southbank field has been the broadest consensus that he’s ever seen. “Everyone is really appalled at losing that field," he said. According to John Moseley, the vice president of research at the University. President Paul Olum guaranteed in a letter that other land would la? found to replace the Southbank field. But Jason VVinnett. a Eugene resident, thinks the field and the south bank are too valuable to be replaced. Supporters of the research park emphasized, however, that the area would he maintained as a pleasant recrea tion area, with public access and strict zoning rules designed to preserve the bike path. "You can't do both at the same time," Winnett said about claims that a natural at mosphere could 1m; preserved with the research park. VVinnett Et al.
