Hollywood presence will impact campus life By Kristin Bailey Associate Editor It may be all lights, camera and action for the makers of the up coming Warner Brothers movie Pre, but Tinsel Town could have less than glamorous short-term ef fects on the University. “The making of the movie is go ing to impact our routine at the University during several weeks,” University Director of Merchan dising Matt Dyste said. “My big concern is that it is getting close to the time they roll the cameras. We’d like to think that in the long term, a movie about the University and Steve Prefontaine is going to be a great opportunity. We just have to ask for the indulgence and understanding of the campus com munity while that’s going on.” Students and faculty may well notice Hollywood with the im pending traffic problems that will ensue. Film crews will close off 15th Avenue on campus August 7 through August 17 and again Sep tember 3 through September 7. Residents of the University Inn and faculty in Hendricks Hall will also feel the Pre- production crunch. For the purpose of the film, the UI will become the Olympic Village at the 1972 Olympic games, and Hendricks Hall will take on the role of dorm rooms. “Some activities will be dis placed,” Dyste said. “But we’re go ing to try for as little disruption as possible.” However, traffic jams and office problems may be minuscule in the grand scheme of things. Dyste said the temporary inconveniences will be well worth it. “There is tremendous promo tional value from a feature film that represents the University in the light it deserves to be repre sented in,” he said. “That’s the major benefit. Our goal here is ed ucation, and part of that is recruit ment. If it’s a well-done movie with a good looking actor and about a coach and his athlete. Per haps the next Prefontaine will want to come run at Oregon.” Warner Brothers is also hoping the next Pre-protege will want to come to the University. In appre ciation for the use of the campus, the movie production company has given the University a track endowment for $150,000. Interest generated from the cash will be given as a scholarship to a promis ing track athlete. “That’s the kind of thing we like to see,” Dyste said. "That’s long term benefit.” The University will also receive deposit payment from Warner Brothers. The company will pay $1,500 for every day of pre-pro duction and wrap days, and $3,000 for each day of actual shooting. The company has paid a deposit of $80,000. They will also pay for any extra expenses — such as security and parking — as it is incurred. “It’s not a large amount of mon ey. It’s not a cash cow for the Uni versity,” Dyste said. “But it’s not a windfall either.” Athletics: Private sector will provide additional funding ■ From Page 1 Athletic Director Bill Moos said. “We will have the first indoor ath letic facility in the Pac 10 and the best overall football facility in the conference, maybe in the country.” Planning for the out door soccer field has been ongoing since the University added a Divi sion 1 women’s soccer program to its list of ath letics. The University’s initial field plans were separate from those of the indoor facility but were later combined. The soccer field will be ready for play by fall 1997, just as the women’s soccer team kicks off its second season. According to McBride, one ma jor reason the University wants to go ahead with the construction is the possibility of Lane County de veloping the Centennial Boule vard area. The fields the football team uses currently, across from Autzen Stadium, are on lease to the University by the County. If Lane County decided to begin de velopment, the University would be given a two-year notice.

Moos also stressed that the fa cility will be able to be used as a recruiting tool once completed. “Schools of the Pac-10 span from the Canadian border to Mex ico, so an athlete in the Pac-10 will see many different playing environments,” Moos said. “By having an indoor facility we can prepare for each climate. This adds to everything the University already has to offer.” Funding for the two facilities will come from the private sector, Taoem& Beer ©arden • Kegs To Go • Live Music Four Nights a Week! • Now selling Henry’s & Michelob Hefe - $80 • Micro Brews on Tap including Guiness • Free Pool Sunday Days & Tuesday Evenings • Pool Tournament Monday Evening Signup at 6:30.Tourney starts at 7:00. • Enjoy a game of horseshoes in our beer garden • 25 kinds of imported beer 2657 Willamette • 344-0816 Practice facility construction will bring parking shuffles too By Mark McTyre Sports Editor When fans arrive at Autzen Stadium on Sept. 7, for the Ducks home opener, they’ll find that a new parking strate gy has been implemented. No longer will Recreational Vehicles (RV) and automobiles be allowed to park in the same sections. The change is part of an overall scheme for a new in door practice facility and out door soccer field that are going to be constructed on the site. The University hopes this ac tion will add parking spaces while creating room for the fa cility. “We're going to segregate the RVs and cars in hopes of sav ing a lot of the wasted room that has gone on in the past,” said Steve McBride, assistant athletic director. For the future, the Universi ty is conducting a parking study to see exactly what will work best for fans attending games. "We’re checking on city codes for Autzen Stadium parking,” said McBride, “And [we] are in the process of for malizing agreements with sur rounding areas that have been used for parking in the past. For example the Elks [Club].” According to McBride, the University will also encourage fans to use the Lane Transit District bus service to ease the parking dilemma. according to Bartko. “All funding for this project will have to be raised,” Bartko said. “None of the funds will come from the school or the state." The cost of the project at this point is unknown. COME ON DOWN TO OUR HOUSE ON 13th ST.
