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.

"We felt this was something we
should do because of the recent
developments in the area,”
McBride said.
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,

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.
