VOLUNTEERS HELP OUT
for University Day

e University communi
ty came together Thurs
day and made the cam
pus a better place to
The 10th annual University
Day brought together people
from all walks of life on Thurs
day to spread bark, plant flowers,
pick up litter, power wash to re
move moss and dedicate a
plaque. 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.
