Students create better environment for local school
■ PROJECT: Students of the
Design/Build course offered
by the University conceive
and assemble structures for
the community every year
By Andrea DeYoung
Associate Editor
University architecture stu
dents had a chance to apply what
they learned in the classroom to a
real-life project this summer,
while helping a local elementary
school.
After going through a
Design/Build course at the UO
School of Architecture and Allied
Arts, students came up with a plan
to help the students at Fox Hollow
French School in South Eugene
have a better environment to learn
about nature and science.
The architecture students are in
the process of creating a marsh
land habitat area and a meadow,
and are building walkways and a
boardwalk that lead up to a new
outdoor shelter and classroom. An
irrigation system will be built to
help keep the plants alive. When
Fox Hollow students and teachers
return in the fall, they will plant
native vegetation and care for the
plants’ growth.
The Fox Hollow Parent-Teacher
Drganization helped raise $5,000
for the project, and local mer
chants helped by contributing ma
terials. The University students
donated their time and plans for
the building of the project.
Each year, the summer design
course students work on a project
as a community project. In recent
years, classes have been part of im
provements along the Millrace
near the duck pond. Students of
the class have built a kiosk and an
overlook at Springfield’s Millrace
Park and a visitors’ kiosk and fenc
ing around Dorris Ranch in
Springfield.

Promise Keepers: Academic conference is not negative reaction
■ Continued from Page 1
Team leader said some of the
Christian group’s rhetoric has
been anti-gay and anti-women,
In response to these sentiments,
various members of the University
community have proposed a con
ference to discuss family values to
take place this October.
“I’d like to encourage more aca
demic discourse around family
structure, homophobia and sex
ism,” Butler said. Although the
planning for the conference is still
in the early stages, Butler said she
has received positive reactions
from the campus community
“I’m glad the University is sup
porting us both as people who are
interested in creating a conference
that would address these prob
lematic issues and as students
who feel alienated by parts of
what the Promise Keepers repre
sent,” she said.
Butler, along with Henry Alley,
co-chairman of the faculty com
mittee on lesbian, gay, bisexual
concerns, met with Williams last
week to discuss the conference.
The vice president said he is sup
portive of bringing such a confer
ence to campus. However, he said
his support would not be impera
tive to the conference’s success.
“[My office] doesn’t have to ap
prove of these things,” he said.
“It’s not something I have to say
‘yes’ to in order for it to happen.
But it struck me as a real good
idea. My role will be to use re
sources from my organization to
work with others to make some
thing happen.”
However, the administrative
support of the conference should
not be seen as a negative reaction
to the Promise Keepers, Williams
said.
“I don’t think it’s accurate to see
this as a reaction to something
else,” he said. “A conference that
is organized to serve the issues
that come up from the Promise
Keeper event is very much what
goes on at the University all the
time.”
The Promise Keeper Action
Team originally asked that profits
from the Autzen Stadium rental be
used to fund the conference. But
Williams said he would not allow
any of the Promise Keeper rev
enue, which will go to defray Ath
letic Department costs, to be des
ignated to the conference.
“We always find ways to pay for
things that are important to the
University,” he said. “But let’s not
get hung up on the money now.
It’s like putting the cart before the
horse. We’ll cross the money
bridge when we get to it. ”
Williams said conference orga
nizers need to work out the logis
tics of the conference before fund
ing can be determined. Once a
budget has been made, financing
can begin. Funding can come from
a variety of sources, including de
partmental funds and contribu
tions from student organizations,
Williams said.
Although conference specifics
have not yet been determined,
Butler said it would be inclusive
of all levels of academia. In addi
tion to the presentation of papers,
the conference will incorporate
panel discussions.

Housing: Churches, dorms,

approximately 280 Promise
Keepers.
“They’re just like any other
summer conference that we
host,” says Nick Bacher, sum
mer conference assistant for
University Housing. “Com
pared to football camp, which
has 700 residents, there really
aren’t that many staying [in the
residence halls].”
Starting at $15.50 per person
per night for a room without
board, the residence halls are
providing a cheap alternative
to local motels.
Operation Innkeeper offi
cials say Greek houses, such as
Sigma Alpha Epsilon have of
fered to house Promise Keep
ers by providing room on their
sleeping porches at $25 per
person.
"Greek houses were on file
as potential lodging space, but
they have not been contacted
yet,” says Elena Fisher, direc
tor of Operation Innkeeper.
As the need for housing in
creases, Fisher says she be
lieves the Greek houses will be
utilized.
Churches in the Eugene
community are also providing
lodging for the Promise Keep
ers. Norm Fox, an elder at the
Garden Way Chinch, says they
have received more than 100
requests for accommodations.
Promise Keepers can sleep on
the floor of the church and in
tents on church grounds. The
church also plans to feed the
Promise Keepers breakfast.
“The Promise Keepers usu
ally meet in big cities like Port
land or Seattle,” he says. Fox
also notes that Eugene is possi
bly the smallest city to ever
host a Promise Keeper confer
ence. Because of this, he says
they have announced the need
for housing to the church con
gregation. Garden Way congre
gation members are helping to
meet the demand for housing
by offering their homes, floors,
and backyards for tents and
RVs.
Fisher herself is lodging
Promise Keepers in her own
home.
“I have four bedrooms and a
large front yard for RVs,” she
says. “We thought we were
just helping the Promise Keep
ers, but we’re also helping our
selves - it’s a wonderful op
portunity to give the gift of
housing.”
