Committee to decide
on sculpture’s new site
By Jayson Jacoby
Emerald Spoils Reporter
The sparkling new Leri ('.as
anovii Ath 1ftic (’.enter, which
houses !>oth the Athletic De
partment offices and new loci,
cr room facilities, is considered
by some to he a work of art
llut art. and people's percep
tions of it. has resulted in a mi
nor controversy over the proper
location of a SCO,000 sculpture
that i urrentiy adorns the facili
ty's west entrance.
Karlier this year, the Oregon
Arts Council, which is involved
in choosing art for the state's
public buildings, put together a
committee to conduct a nation
wide search for art to be dis
played at the Casanova Center.
The committee made an al
most unanimous decision to
purchase a piece by Massachu
setts artist Ceorge Groenumyor,
according to the University's
Senior Associate Athletic
Director Sandy Walton, who
was a membor of the selection
committee.
The sculpture, which uses
foot-high figures to depict ath
letes from Pacific-10 Confer
ence schools playing various
sports, was bolted onto its cur
rent spot during the summer
And that's when the trouble
began.
Oregon Athletic Director Bill
Byrne said the Athletic Depart
ment doesn't dislike the sculp
ture hut wants to move it be
cause it doesn't fit where it is.
"There’s nothing wrong with
the piece of art itself," Byrne
said. "Given the fact that we
(the Athletic Department) paid
for liie sculpture, I fell no hesi
tation at all to decide to move
it."

team could only
muster u 0-0 tie
with the Wolves Tuesday after
noon at South Hank Field.
The first ten minutes of the
game were played entirely in
the Wolves' etui of the field as
the Ducks created numerous
scoring opportunities resulting
iti three corner kicks.
On the third corner kick, for
ward Jennifer Huckins found
herself with the ball only 12
yards from the goal, but her
low, hard shot was directed
straight at Western Oregon
goaltender Dona Anunsen.
As the Western Oregon de
fense began to tire, the game
began to rosomblo an NHL

able to |iass the ball around the
penalty area at will.
