School honors alumni CEOs
■Annual excellence awards
are doled out in Portland
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
Tim Boyle, who gained notoriety
after being strapped to the roof of an
off-roading SUV in Columbia
Sportswear’s TV commercials, will
be honored today by the Universi
ty’s Lundquist School of Business
during the school’s Visionaries
Awards Luncheon in Portland.
Boyle, president and chief exec
utive officer of Columbia Sports
wear, attended the University in the
late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
In 1970, Boyle’s father died, leav
ing Columbia Sportswear to his
mother, Gert Boyle. She enlisted his
help and Boyle had to leave the Uni
versity, though he needed only one
credit to graduate. He returned to the
school in 1992 to earn his degree.
“I am honored to receive this
prestigious award,” he said.
Boyle’s award, “Trendsetter of the
Year,” is the highlight of the lunch
eon at the Benson Hotel. Carolyn
Chambers, chairman and chief ex
ecutive officer of Chambers Com
munications Corp., will receive the
“Alumni Trailblazer Award,” and
Bruce Fabbri, co-founder of Site
wise Marketing Inc., will receive
the “Entrepreneurial Spirit Award.”
Fabbri graduated in 1997, and in
the four years since he has created
an online search engine that serves
Fortune 500 Businesses and Global
1000 companies.
Chris Murray, associate dean for
the Lundquist School, said the
awards can help students gain an un
derstanding of the bysiness world.
“This event allows us to honor
the type of people we want our stu
dents to emulate,” he said.
Raymond King, associate dean of
the school, said the awards are in
tended to keep the school active in
the business community.
“It’s important to our students
and business community that we
gain ties and let them know we are
active,” he said.
He added that the awards also al
low for students to make connec
tions with professionals.
Philip Romero, dean of the busi
ness school, said the recipients
were chosen because they began
their companies from scratch and
have made them large successes.
“They were chosen because they
have taken relatively small regional
companies and turned them into
national powerhouses,” he said.
Murray said Chambers, who
owns KEZI-TV in Eugene, has built
a production facility that is unri
valed in the Pacific Northwest.
“She is very savvy in the way she
runs her business,” he said.
Chambers graduated from the
business school in 1953 with a de
gree in accounting, and seven years
later she launched KEZI. She later
started Liberty Communications,
where she served as executive vice
president and treasurer until 1983,
when the company was purchased
by Tele-Communications Inc.
“Carolyn has been very active in
the community and with us,” Mur
ray said.
Newnham confirmed onto Board
■ ASUO approves new
member, despite absence
By Emily Gust
Oregon Daily Emerald
For the last ASUO Student Sen
ate meeting of the term, some of the
senators decided to vote in different
languages — in French, Spanish,
German and Hebrew, they con
firmed senior linguistics major
Randy Newnham to the ASUO
Elections Board.
A position had been open on the
board since last week, when former
Elections Board office manager
Matt Swanson resigned. But Newn
ham, who is a member of the Pro
grams Finance Committee and a co
coordinator in the Survival Center,
will now fill the empty spot.
“He’s a very hard worker, and he’s
very dedicated,” Senator Mary Eliza
beth Madden said. “He’s been bitten
by that student government bug. ”
The confirmation passed despite
reservations from three senators,
who felt uncomfortable adding an
other person to the Elections Board
without that person present.
Earlier this term, the senate con
firmed someone to the board even
though she was not at the meeting.
She resigned soon after.
“I don’t think it’s good prece
dence to appoint someone who is
not present,” Senator Jennifer Gree
nough said. “I think particularly af
ter being burnt the first time we did,
that [this] is probably a sign.”
But eleven other senators were
not deterred.
“It’s Randy, and we all know him,”
Senator Andy Elliott said. “And it’s
the Elections Board and we all know
how badly it needs to be filled. ”
At the end of the term, two mem
bers of the board will graduate. With
the elections process still up in the
air, Breslow stressed Newnham’s
appointment as vital.
“It’s the decimation of the Elec
tions Board,” he said. “We’ll take
them as long as they’re breathing.”
