Painting was planned but had to be canceled due to rain. The event is student run, and each year it concentrates on a dif ferent area of the campus. This year’s efforts were headquartered in a tent between Chapman and Condon halls. The single largest project the volunteers tackled Thursday in cluded improvements to the west courtyard of the Knight Library. Volunteers spread bark, laid down gravel and planted flowers in the area. A dedication ceremo ny in the courtyard featured Uni versity President Dave Frohn mayer, Eugene Mayor Jim Torrey, City Councilman Bobby Lee and University Day organizers from previous years. The organizers of the first University Day since World War II, Doug Untalan and Brian Sandy, were praised for their efforts. “They rescued the tradition,” Frohnmayer said. University Day had been a tra dition in the early part of this century but had been abandoned during World War II due to the emphasis on the war effort. The tradition was not revived after the war until the two found out about it and spent about nine months bringing together vari ous student organizations, Unta lan and Sandy said. The first year, the day had more than 800 people helping; this year, more than 1,000 people were in volved. During the ceremony, four benches were dedicated in the courtyard, one of which hadn’t been delivered yet. The benches honor organizations that gave donations valued at more than $1,000 for University Day. These organizations included Coca Cola, U-Lane-O, the Lane Coun ty Alumni Association and the Oregon Daily Emerald. Many or ganizations on and off campus donated money and services to the event, said Katy Ho, fund raising chair for University Day and a junior public relations ma jor. The Office of Student Life as sists with the event in various ways, including advising its orga nizers, said Mary Hudzikiewicz, assistant dean of the office. She was singled out for recognition at the dedication ceremony as one of the people who has helped to keep the event alive for 10 years. She commented that the event at tracts many faculty and staff in the morning and mostly students in the afternoon.
