Snow sports groups
to peddle their wares
■ Thursday, money will be
raised to support the
University Outdoor Program
By Darren Freeman
Oregon Daily Emerald
With the ski season now in full
swing, two Oregon skiing and
snowboarding companies, includ
ing one founded by University
graduates, will raise money for the
University Outdoor Program on
Thursday while selling their
equipment and offering informa
tion about ski trips and tours.
Eugene’s Willamette Pass and
Snowtraders.com are scheduled
to be in the EMU lobby from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. and have pledged to
donate 10 percent of their sales to
the Outdoor Program.
At the event, Outdoor Program
representatives will provide infor
mation about their program and
upcoming events. The program,
which receives funds from stu
dent incidental fees, helps stu
dents organize activities, offers
transportation and information
and periodically sponsors presen
tations and guest speakers.
The event will also be a home
coming for employees of Snow
traders.com, an Internet retail com
pany started this fall by four Univer
sity Law School graduates, a
current law school student and the
husband of one of the graduates.
“It’s been great to have the re
sources from really qualified stu
dents from the University,” said
Bob Chandler, the company’s chief
financial officer and University
graduate student. Chandler said the
company is launching a sales rep
resentative program and is looking
for University students to sell prod
ucts and receive commission.
In addition to donating 10 per
cent of Thursday’s sales to the
Outdoor Program, Chandler said
the company also gives 2 percent
of its sales to various environmen
tal activist groups.
“We run an on-line company
based on the idea of consumption,
but we also know the sale of sports
equipment has an effect on the envi
ronment,” co-founder and Univer
sity Law School graduate Carnet
Williams said. Donating profits to
environmental groups “is just part
of our dedication that we feel to our
community to ensure that we not
only take but give. ”
Biology professor dies
■ Jane Gray passed away
Sunday at age 68, after
37 years at the University
By Ben Romano
Oregon Daily Emerald
After being diagnosed with liver
cancer on Jan. 5, University biolo
gy Professor Jane Gray died Sun
day. She was 68.
In her 37-year career at the Uni
versity, Gray worked as a profes
sor of biology and geology. She
also was awarded a courtesy title
as professor of zoology at Oregon
State University. Her specialty
was paleo-botany.
“She was the country’s most
distinguished paleo-botanist,”
said Martha Sherwood, Gray’s lab
assistant and long-time colleague.
“She worked mostly with micro
fossils, pollens and spores.”
Her research has shaped ideas
about when the first land plants
appeared on earth, said Sher
wood, who first met Gray in 1970.
Gray was very devoted to her
work and the University.
“She liked to teach and was pop
ular with students. She served on
lots of committees and was an ex
cellent mentor. Her whole life was
the University,” Sherwood said.
“She worked seven days a week.”
She published dozens of books
and professional articles on plant
evolution and early ecosystems.
One of her favorite classes to teach
was a human evolution course for
non-science majors, Sherwood said.
Her interests outside of work
were few. She loved animals and
owned many cats. She was active
in animal rights issues, she said.
Gray was divorced and had no
children. She had no brothers or
sisters.
Sherwood remembered Gray’s
feistiness and refusal to “go along
with the flow.”
“She was somewhat eccentric,
but that quality endeared her to the
people who were her close Mends
and associates,” Sherwood said.
Gray earned a degree in geology
from Harvard’s Raddiffe College in
1951. She went on to earn a Ph.D. in
paleontology from the University of
California, Berkeley, in 1958.
She had known she wasn’t well, •
but hadn’t sought medical attention
because “she was suspidous of doc
tors, ’’said Sherwood, who was with
Gray in the hours before her death.
There has not yet been a memor
ial service planned for Gray.
