He was only two months removed from Nike, and not that far along with his book, when Starbucks came to him with a job offer, he said. “I was reluctant at first to take the job because I was enjoying the path I was on,” Bedbury said. “I liked having time to spend with my wife and two children. I was traveling every week. There were times when I worked for Nike that I wasn’t even in the same time zone more than four days in a week.’’Bedbury is currently senior vice president of marketing for Starbucks. Under his direction, Starbucks recently expanded in ternationally to Japan and Singa pore. He was also responsible for the successful launch of the bot tled coffee drink Frappucino and Starbucks’ coffee ice cream, both of which he said he really does eat and drink. “I wouldn’t go a morning with out a Frapp,” he said. In 1995, Bedbury was chosen as a “Marketer to Watch” by USA To day, and he was inducted into the American Advertising Federa tion’s Advertising Hall of Fame in 1996. But it’s almost more gratify ing to be recognized by his alma mater, Bedbuiy said. “Frankly, I’m flattered by it,” he said. “Sometimes life moves so fast you don’t have time to stop and think about everything you’ve done. I don’t think the signifi cance of the award will hit me un til I’m down there June 15."An derson’s achievements may not be as glitzy as Bedbury’s, but they are amazingly reputable. He served in tne U.S. Army after receiving his bachelor’s degree and returned to the University to work as alumni director from 1946 to 1953, and as assistant to the president and director of public services in 1953. In 1956, Anderson joined lum ber industry newsletter and price report Random Lengths. He later became president of the company and, less than 10 years later, its sole owner in 1967. Under Ander son’s leadership, the small, re gional publication grew into a large, sophisticated communica tions tool serving world-wide lumber and plywood markets. After serving as Eugene’s may or, Anderson became a member ol the Oregon State Board of Highei Education, where he stayed until 1982. His other civic involve ments include the Boy Scouts ol America, the Eugene Chamber ol Commerce, United Way, Sacred Heart Lay Advisory Board and Foundation, Eugene’s civic centei and performing arts commissions and the Oregon Repertory The ater. He is also an avid mountaineer taking part in expeditions on Nepal’s K-2, Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro, the Japanese Alps and in Pakistan. Throughout the years, Ander son demonstrated his commit ment to the University communi ty by serving as an official al University track and field events from 1955 to 1982, was inducted into the University Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1982 and served as a member of the Univer sity’s Foundation Board ol Trustees from 1985 to 1995. “Les Anderson has provided outstanding service to the state, his community and the Universi ty,” Rodriguez said.

Volunteers from Pi Kappa Alpha will set up tables for the auction and Alpha Phi Omega will work as ushers, vendors and cashiers. “The University has been a real help this year,” Gardner said. “We have had a lot of support from the committee members, and students from the Interfra ternity Council helped with advertising and gather ing volunteers.” Last year’s auction raised $20,000 for Lane Shelter Care, and auction organizers are hoping to raise $30,000 this year. “We really need to make at least that much,” Gard ner said. “This auction accounts for almost a third oi the money we have to raise during the year.” Lane Shelter Care provides temporary' housing and transitional services to homeless or low-income fam ilies in Lane County. The program assists about 250 families in a year, “We give them temporary housing while we train them with skills they need to be able to survive on their own,” Gardner said. “It’s really a comprehen sive package.” The auction will take place in the Aeronautics Building at the Eugene Airport.
