History
continued from page 12A
renown of the University’s arboreal
array inspired astronaut Stuart
Roosa of Apollo XIV to give to the
University a seedling sprouted from
one of among four Douglas Fir seeds
he had with him when he walked
on the moon in 1971. Today the un
marked tree, which is approximate
ly 45 feet in height and more than
two feet in diameter, stands behind
the bench across from Willamette
Hall on 13th Avenue.
United voices
A radical shift of campus life had
already blossomed in 1969 and
1970, as students opposed the Uni
versity for allowing the ROTC to re
main on campus during the Viet
nam War. On Earth Day, April 22,
1970, students staged a sit-in in
Johnson Hall that lasted 30 hours
and resulted in the arrest of 63
demonstrators.
One of the detainees, Allen Cox,
now 50 and an abstract painter in
Eugene, said he supports the stu
dents of today in their “rights and
obligations” to speak up about that
in which they believe.
“That’s part of what going to the
University of Oregon is about,” Cox
said. “It bas been for many, many
years.”
On the night that Cox and the
other protesters were arrested, he
said, various people on campus put
together a brick barricade to block
out traffic from 13th Avenue
through the central part of campus,
which otherwise was heavily traf
ficked and had been long-talked
about as a danger to pedestrians.
“Obviously, the authorities came
and tore [the barricades] down after
a while, but they avoided a real con
frontation,” he said. “They kind of
negotiated a dismantling, as I recall.”
Within a year, however, the Uni
versity and the city of Eugene agreed
to close off 13th Avenue permanent
ly at the site of the original barri
cades on Kincaid Street, Cox said.

The University’s history and tradition dates back to its founding in 1876.
More brain
for your buck
The University has recently re
ceived national recognition in a
number of ways. U.S. News and
World Report this year ranked four
graduate programs in its respective
top 20 in the nation — education,
architecture, environmental law
and special education.
For the third year in a row, the
University is listed in “The Fiske
Guide to Colleges” as one of the na
tion’s best bargains for students.
The guide’s 2001 edition includes
the University in its “best buys” list
of 40 schools in the United States
and Canada.
That acclaim apparently stretch
es far because the University had
the highest percentage of interna
tional students and the highest per
centage of students who participat
ed in study-abroad programs
among all U.S. public research uni
versities for the year 1997-1998,
based on data gathered by the Insti
tute of International Education.
