HO Museum of Art prepares for arrival of new additions ■ Business school professor Del Hawkins is appointed to UO Museum of Art director in time for renovations By Rebecca Newell Oregon Daily Emerald After a four-year return to full time teaching, Del I. Hawkins will again combine his love of market ing with his passion for the arts, and especially for the University of Oregon Museum of Art as the new director. Hawkins was named Museum of Art director after current director David Robert son turned in his resigna tion, effective June 30. Robertson, who has served as di rector since February 1996, is an art history graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Missouri. “I’m returning home where my family and other people important to me live,” Robertson, who is go ing back to Chicago, said. “In ad dition, I will have the opportunity to work and publish in my field of research interest.” “David Robertson did a phe nomenal job. When we hired him, I had high expectations, and he ex ceeded them all,” said Hawkins, who served as an interim director for one year before Robertson was hired. Continuing with Robertson’s momentum will be a huge task but something that Hawkins says he is eager to do. “My challenge will be two fold,” Hawkins said. “First, to con tinue to raise funds necessary to complete the building project, and second, to be the most visible rep resentative of the museum in the community.” The museum’s $12 million HAWKINS building campaign will more than double the size of the current building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The renovations will be in line with the original plans during construction in 1932, which were changed when the Depression hit. Besides increasing the size of the museum, the campaign will also renovate the public spaces, galleries and support area. “I an ticipate the successful completion of fund raising for this project in the next few months and then I look forward to overseeing ground breaking, and the start of construc tion,” Hawkins said. In order to facilitate this mas sive change, the museum, which draws between 40,000 and 50,000 visitors a year, will close for two years, reopening in early 2003. “We’ll be a museum without walls for a while, which will be a chal lenge,” Hawkins said. “But this i ( It’s just very pleasant to be associated with such a passionate group of people. Del Hawkins future art museum director museum is special, and I think the new building will enhance that. ” Hawkins acknowledged that it will be a challenge to keep the mu seum visible while the building is closed. Backed by a phenomenal staff, he said he will meet that challenge by expanding outreach programs in order to make artwork available for students, as well as maintaining the museum’s pres ence in the community. “It’s just very pleasant to be as sociated with such a passionate group of people; the staff and friends of the museum. There are amazing numbers of people who donate so much time and energy to the museum,” Hawkins said, explaining the key role staff and volunteers fill. Hawkins will also step down as the head of the marketing depart ment. During his contract as direc tor of the museum, he will also hold a part-time appointment in the business school. He will hold the position of director for 18 months, after which he will retire from full-time work, teaching 1/3 time, and pursue more non-profit work. “We are fortunate to have*such a well-qualified person available to step into this key position on short notice to carry forward the mo mentum began by David Robert son,” Lorraine Davis, Vice Provost of the University, said. Davis also explained the unusu al decision to appoint a business professor as director of the Muse um of Art. “Del Hawkins has ideal qualifications, combining his business and management profes sional expertise with a strong in terest for the arts and the muse um’s vitality,” Davis said. Hawkins admitted that his first stint as museum director was a pleasant surprise. “I wasn’t active ly involved with the museum un til I became director, but it was ad dictive,” Hawkins said, explaining his current role with the Museum Board of directors, where he has served two terms. “The museum is a strange beast. It has a power to grab a hold of you and doesn’t let go easily.” Hawkins said he also believes that the national search for a per manent director will be met with success. “During Robertson’s four year tenure, the UO art museum’s stature and outreach have grown dramatically so that I consider the directorship will be viewed as a real ‘gem’ of a job,” Hawkins said. After retirement, Hawkins plans to continue his involvement with the museum, foreseeing a committee position for the board. “The museum almost has a life of it’s own, a presence. Being part of it is a real delight,” he said. Prostitution continued from page 1 lar to a Portland ordinance the Oregon Supreme Court is sched uled to address later this summer. A Portland woman, who was convicted of prostitution and or dered not to enter the city’s prosti tution-free zone for 90 days, brought her appeal before the Ore gon Supreme Court, arguing the exclusion placed her in double jeopardy — that it punished her for the same crime twice. If the City Council approves the zone as proposed by the Police Commission, individuals arrested for prostitution or soliciting pros titution would be issued an order, excluding them from the area un til appearing before a judge for a hearing. At the hearing, the judge would consider extenuating cir cumstances and either drop or en force the exclusion from the zone, which could last up to a year. In conjunction with the prosti tution-free zone, police would im plement an “anti-cruising dis trict,” which would be moved to areas prone to prostitution. The names and identities of men ar rested for soliciting prostitutes could possibly be published in the paper, as well as on the Eu gene Police Department’s Web site. “Punishment for convicted prostitutes isn’t really punish ment, it’s help,” Commissioner Pat Farr said, referring to the pos sibility of a state-mandated drug treatment program for convicted prostitutes. "The women who I believe are the victims will be provided with treatment,” Mayor Jim Torrey said, backing up the idea that treatment, not punishment, would be more effective. In support, Portland police offi cers say the prostitution-free zone has been successful in Portland on cutting down the city’s flesh trade, and could also be success ful in Eugene. “Street-level prostitution tends to congregate-around certain ar eas,” Larry Kochever, captain of the Portland Police Department’s drug and vice division, said. “Prostitution-free zones attack the foundation of prostitution by lit erally running the trade off the streets.” “It’s not an absolute solution, but we’re moving in the right di rection,” Commissioner Gary Pape said.
