While many classes at the Univer
sity tend to rely on textbooks and lec
tures to instill knowledge, L.E.A.D.
classes take students through a series
of fun activities. In these classes, stu
dents participate in exercises such as
obstacle courses, timed missions and
relay races to learn how to become
better leaders.
“There is no time to plan,” said
Heapes, the director of aquatics with
Physical Activity and Recreation Ser
vices. “They have to solve the prob
lems as they go along. ”
Annalee McBee, a senior psychol
ogv major, said much of what she will
take away from this class applies to
her personal everyday life as well as
to her work as a kayak instructor for
the EMU Outdoor Program.
“It has made me more aware of the
ways you can approach people to be
less confrontational,” she said.
Brandon Moran, a junior business
major, sat with three other classmates
Tuesday, working with 20 plastic
drinking straws and three feet of blue
masking tape to devise a protective
package for an egg, which would then
be tested in an egg-drop contest.
Moran said he would recommend
that everyone take the class because
participants become better people
through the emotional and physical
challenges they face, and their expe
riences will be beneficial in their fu
ture careers.
“It is learning to lead,” Moran said.
“It is learning to follow.”
Moran said through the class he
has learned to b? less selfish and to
“let other people run the show. ”
Heapes said when she came up
with the idea for a leadership class
more than a year ago, she did so with
the intention of giving students a way
to learn from both themselves and
others.
Some students who have taken the
L.E.A.D. classes have gone on to de
velop their own leadership initiatives
and workshops that they bring back
to share with future classes, Heapes
said.
Freshman Nicole Steiner took the
Action Leadership class this term
and the Leadership for Women class
winter term. She said she enjoyed
Action Leadership because it allows
men and women to converse with
each other while confronting obsta
cles.
“Not one person leads this class —
not even the facilitators,” Steiner
said. “We learned different ways to
do things instead of the conventional
ways to do things. I wish everything
was taught this way, because it incor
porates more knowledge than just
one person’s opinion.”
Nathan Nicholson, a sophomore
biology major, said the class members
didn’t know each other well at the be
ginning of the term, but as time
moved on they learned to work to
gether as a cohesive group. He said
while some of the class members
were quiet, they were forced to step
outside their boundaries by interact
ing with other students.
“I have learned a lot about group
dynamics and how to bring out the
strengths and weaknesses of each in
dividual in a group,” Nicholson said.
“It changed my perspective of the
range of ways in which a leader can
go about getting [his or her] job done.”

scheme every five yards will continue with the
new turf.
Although Autzen is the first collegiate facility
in the nation to install the turf, the NFL’s Atlanta
Falcons use it in their training facility.
After the 2001-02 season, the turf will be re
moved and stored during construction of the seat
ing expansion. Because of this, only yard lines,
end lines and side lines will be inlaid on the turf
before the upcoming season. After the expansion
is completed in 2002, all markings will be perma
nently installed on the turf.
Norton said that although work on the turf is fin
ished, there is still additional work to be done on
the stadium. He said this involves site infrastruc
ture, including placement of water, gas, irrigation,
sewage and communication lines in a ring around
the stadium.
Steve McBride, the assistant athletic director for
internal operations, said the department paid
Hunt/Wildish a fixed contract, so the early com
pletion will not reduce the cost.
“They didn’t save us any money, anyway,” he
said.
Dave Williford, the assistant athletic director for
media services, said the next major project will be
moving the scoreboard. Workers will move the
board as one piece back 30 feet and raise it 30 feet,
he said.
He added that it will be a tough job for workers,
but it’s necessary to accommodate the addition of
12,000 new seats after the season, and spectators
will see the difference.
“It won’t be something that people won’t no
tice,” he said.
Williford added that all work scheduled to be
done on the stadium will be completed before the
start of the season Sept. 1 when the Ducks play the
University of Wisconsin.

“Because of the designation,
there are some roads that are now
closed to vehicles,” said Mark Sher
bourne, a supervisor with the
BLM’s Burns office.
Camping is permitted anywhere
in the wilderness area, but there are
four designated campgrounds for
use: Kiger Gorge, the East Rim and
two at the Wildhorse overlooks.
The lower portion of the Steens
Mountain Loop Road opened May
25. Visitors can check in for current
conditions at the Burns BLM office
before visiting the area.
The Coast
Fifty miles of dunes mark the dis
tance between Florence and Coos
Bay on the Oregon Coast. The wide
stretch is one of the reasons visitors
come to see the dunes and why hik
ing them is difficult.
“If you try to walk, you’ll sink into
sand up to your knees,” said Dan
Gilman, who owns and operates Ad
venture Oregon, LTD. “People rent
AT Vs to go fast, have fun and have
the ability to get all over the dunes.”
Any person who rents an ATV
must be 16 years or older and
must wear a helmet and protective

Crater Lake
The deep blue color of Crater
Lake is the trademark of this nation
al park established in 1902 and lo
cated in southern Oregon, an hour’s
drive from Klamath Falls. A peren
nial favorite of recreation enthusi
asts, the lake offers a variety of out
door activities including hiking,
camping and bicycling the winding
asphalt road around the lake’s rim.
According to the National Park
Service’s recorded visitor informa
tion line, facilities at Crater Lake are
open seven days a week. Boat tours
to Wizard Island in the middle of
the lake start June 27. Campers can
get free permits and more informa
tion at the Rim Visitor Center.
The Gorge and the Stars
Beginning stargazers, even those
with minimal experience, can get a
lesson in astronomy by attending the
Oregon Star Party—an annual event
held each August in the Ochoco
Mountains near Prineville.
“At a place like Indian Springs, it’s
possible to even see constellations
like the Andromeda Galaxy with the
bare eye,” said Doug Huston, a mem
ber of the Rose City Astronomers, a
sponsor of the event.
At the other end of Oregon, the to
pography of the Columbia River
Gorge provides an absolutely perfect
setting for windsurfing. Hood River
has become the place to go if you are
into the sport, said Genevieve Scholl
with the Hood River Chamber of
Commerce.
“The conditions here are world
class,” Scholl said.
In recent years, this sport has taken
a new twist with surfers using kites
instead of sails to pull their boards.
“The kites pull them into the air,”
she said. “Some of these guys catch
up to 50 feet of wind at one time. ”
If you are into watching and not
into doing, the Gorge Windfest will
be held June 29-July 1.
