University helps keep local
businesses up and running
■ For many campus vendors
and shops, student demand
keeps many businesses going
By Brook Reinhard
Oregon Daily Emerald
Rain or shine, Alex Mali serves
up falafel and lemonade to hungry
students off the corner of E. 13th
Avenue and Kincaid Street. Mali is
one of the many local businesses
that benefit from a prime location
near the University.
“I take a vacation when (stu
dents) take a vacation,” said Mali.
It’s the 125th anniversary of the
University this year, and some
vendors have been around nearly
as long as the school itself. Stu
dents are a great way for business
es to build new clientele, business
owners say, and some locations
wouldn’t be around if the Univer
sity wasn’t here.
One of the oldest businesses
near campus is the Campus Shoe
Shop. The owner, Jerry Martin, es
timates that the place has been
around for at least 85 years. It was
built as a shoe shop then divided
in half to make room for a
shoeshine service, Martin said.
He’s been the owner of the store for
15 years and has since converted
the shine shop into a juice bar.
Much of their business is due to
student demand, and they proba
bly wouldn’t be open without the
University’s presence, said Martin.
As it is, their summer business suf
fers when students leave town.
“We slow down (in the sum
mer), probably lose about a third of
our business,” he said.
Most businesses on E. 13th Av
enue are substantially younger
than the shoe shop. Susan Miller,
director of publications and infor
mation systems for the Eugene area
Chamber of Commerce, attended
the University from 1969 to 1974
and remembers many businesses
that used to be near campus.
“Businesses reflect a lot about
what goes on at the time,” Miller
said. “But I think some of the busi
nesses would still exist if the Uni
versity wasn’t there. They get some
(customers) from the hospital.”
Some businesses now on E. 13th
Avenue used to be entirely different.
“Rumor has it that there was a
gay bar called Cassidy’s at this lo
cation,” said Campus Copy Shop
owner Steve Jarvis. The copy shop
has been there for about 15 years
and used to be located next door,
Jarvis said.
West Moon Trading Company’s
location used to be occupied by The
Coffee People. That was just six
years ago, and before that, the spot
was a Kaufman’s clothing store, said
West Moon owner Peggi Bosworth.
The University has brought life
to local businesses for 125 years.
And most remain open, for the
most part, because of students at
the University.
“I really, really enjoy doing what
I’m doing because I really, really
like the students,” Mali said.

Leaf pick-up to begin Monday
Workers from the City of Eugene
will begin rounds Monday to collect
leaves from the streets of Eugene,
said Richard Zucker, who manages
the leaf collection program for the city.
Residents can rake leaves into the
streets for pick-up, he said.
“It minimizes street flooding and
leaves ending up in the river,” Zuck
er said. “It’s sort of compensation for
the citywide ban on outdoor burn
ing.”
Public works crews gather the
leaves as part of the general fall
maintenance schedule. They make
two rounds of the entire city, cover
ing about 900 miles of pavement.
Zucker said the leaves that are col
lected don’t end up in a landfill.
“We reuse them in one way or an
other,” he said. “Some leaves are de
livered to community gardens, oth
ers go to the stockpile at Bloomberg
Park.”
Zucker said it’s important that
residents don't block bike lanes
when they put leaves into the street
for the crews.
