OSC’s famed beaver, whose fame is
equaled only by the Oregon victory
belt, Mystery has surrounded the foray
to the northern provinces during which
the animal was captured, although it is
reported that several members of the
rally squad were present. After being
hidden in various houses around die

animal has been put on display, and
even frosh coeds are unafraid of its
now lemon yellow and emerald green
claws.

the capture of the OSC beaver, about
seven carloads of state students
arrived on the campus about 1 a.m.
Thursday to locate their prized victory
trophy, hot according to latest reports
they were unable to discover its
hiding place.
A crowd formed near the comer of
Thirteenth avenue east and Alder
streets, and there was a sharp
exchange of words, although little or
no fighting occurred.
The Staters then left in their cars
presumably for the “Q* at the fop ol
Skinner’s butte to change the color of
the paint,
The beaver was on display in front of
the College Side until yesterday
afternoon, when unidentified students
moved it toa safer place.

Eugene lures grads to stay
■ UO alumni settle in Eugene
after graduation and become
part of the local community
By Sue Ryan
Oregon Daily Emerald
Rep. Peter Defazio, D-Eugene,
and Lane County Commissioner
Bobby Green are two graduates
from the University’s 125 years of
graduating classes who have cho
sen to stay in Lane County. And
they’re not alone.
“Of the 10 domestic and 13 in
ternational (alumni) chapters,
Lane County is the largest in the
numbers of participating mem
bers,” said Tom Klotter, the mar
keting manager for the University
Alumni Association.
Klotter said the association be
came a formal dues-paying organ
ization in 1990, and it now has
153,000 members. The first Uni
versity class graduated in 1878
and included five members:
Robert Bean, Nellie Condon,
Matthew Wallis, George Wash
burne and John Whiteaker. Klot
ter said graduates join the Alum
ni Association for a number of
reasons.
“They join to help out their alma
mater, further their connections
and for the benefits,” he said. “It
includes such things as free use of
the library on-campus.”
The University alumni who
have stayed in the area after gradu
ation became part of the communi
ty in a variety of ways, including
starting businesses.
One such person is Christine
Sullivan, who earned an art sculp
ture and philosophy degree in
1976 under her maiden name,
Christine Davis. She credits her
education with giving her the con
fidence to start her own advertis
ing agency.
“(Having a degree) broadens
who you are and your capability to
see the universe in different
ways,” she said.
Sullivan sold her agency, Sulli
van, Pattison and Clevenger, in
1998. Today she spends time on
some advertising work but also
volunteers for a number of proj
ects, including serving on the Uni
versity’s 125th anniversary com
mittee. She said her memories of
her college education were colored
by her non-traditional status at the
time.
“I got my degree when I was a
29-year-old mother with a 12-year
old at home,” she said. “I wasn’t
around traditional college events a
whole lot.”
One of the cornerstones of the
University, the football program,
drew another student to Eugene.
Rich Ruhl was an inside line
backer for the Ducks football
team from 1992-1996 and decid
ed to stay in the region upon
graduating with a sociology de
gree.
“Eugene was a perfect fit for
me,” he said. “I was into lakes,
rivers, outdoor programs, So after
visiting all the schools, I picked
Oregon.”
Ruhl said his senior year was his
favorite one, both in the classroom
and on the field.
“The Rose Bowl year was the
most memorable because of the
magnitude of the game for me,” he
said, referring to 1996.
Another University athlete, An
nette Peters, stayed in Lane Coun
ty upon graduating in 1988 under
her maiden name, Annette Hand.
While today she teaches at an ele
mentary school in Springfield,
she first chose to stay in the area
to continue working with her
track coach.
“I participated in track and field,
cross-country,” she said. “I was a
’92 Olympian in the 3,000 meters
in Barcelona.”
Peters said her choice to settle
here was also tied to her getting
married and starting a family.
“I thought it was a wonderful
community to raise a family in,”
she said.
William Sullivan, a University
German masters graduate in
1979, ended up in Eugene be
cause of the liberal arts school.
He decided to pursue his love of
writing by becoming a freelance
writer.
“I starved for the first seven
years,” he said. “Then I had an
idea to hike through 18 wilder
ness areas in Oregon and write a
book about it.”
Sullivan wrote “Listening for
Coyote” in 1988 and said the posi
tive reaction to it had an unintend
ed effect.
“The success of the book im
printed me on the Oregon psyche
as ‘the hiker guy,’” he said.
While he has written five hiking
books since that time, Sullivan has
worked in other genres as well. “A
Deeper Wild”, the story of Joaquin
Miller, one of the early settlers of
Eugene, was published this year.
The author has planned additional
books for the future.
“I’m hoping to write a murder
mystery in German,” Sullivan
said. “I am also doing the first
book of a four-part series about
the Vikings in historical fiction.”
He said he will continue to stay
in Eugene, in part for its attributes
of being a “nice-sized town” with
a “literate environment.”
