’Bye Grayson, hello McKenzie
■The University discovers
‘what’s in a name,’ and changes
Grayson to McKenzie Hall
By Leon Tovey
Oregon Daily Emerald
Students coming back from win
ter break who had classes sched
uled in Grayson Hall got a bit of a
surprise last week: The building
doesn’t exist anymore.
On Dec. 7, the University Founda
tion announced it would turn over
$850,000 to court-appointed receiv
er Thomas Lennon that Portland
businessman Jeffrey Grayson donat
ed to the University since 1997.
The same day, the University Office
of Communications announced that
Grayson Hall would become
“McKenzie Hall.” The names of
Grayson and his wife Susan, both
University alumni, were taken off the
building within days of the an
nouncement. The building, however,
is still referred to as “Grayson Hall” in
winter term schedules, the student di
rectory and on the business cards and
stationery of faculty and staff mem
bers who work in the building.
Deputy Director of Communications
Pauline Austin said the decision to
change the name of the building was
made too late for catalogues and directo
ries, which were printed at the end of last
term. And according to Registrar Herb
Chereck, the name “Grayson Hall” was
left on Duck Web to avoid confusion.
“Basically, we made that decision
because all our publications refer to the
building as Grayson, ’ ’ Chereck said.
The building, which previously
housed the University’s law school,
was renamed Grayson Hall in 1997,
after Grayson pledged a total $1.5 mil
lion to the school. In September, the
U.S. Department of Labor Securities
and Exchange Commission seized
Grayson’s consulting firm, Capital
Consultants, alleging that the compa
ny had bilked investors out of $355
million. In June, Lennon requested
the University return the money
Grayson had donated, saying that the
money was not Grayson’s to give.
While the sign designating the new
name, which is similar to the small
green signs posted in front of other
buildings on campus, went up without
much difficulty, the jury is still out on
whether the name change has cau sed
problems for students and faculty.
“I don’t think anyone has noticed
(the name change),” junior Rebecca
Horvat said.
Horvat, a Spanish major who
works three days a week in the
McKenzie Computing Lab, said she
was surprised that the name change
had happened so quickly.
“I thought once they chiseled a
name into a building there was no go
ing back.”
Junior Maria Marcks said that she
noticed the change; mostly because
so many people ask her what the
building is called.
“I’ve had a few people—because I
have a lot of classes in this building—
and they’ll ask me if this is Grayson,”
Marcks, a sociology major, said.
Martina Armstrong, the office
manager for the history department,
said the change has gone fairly
smoothly. The University has suc
cessfully spread the word, she said.
She added that the costs associated
with the name change, such as re
ordering business cards and sta
tionery were “nominal.”
But across the hall in the Ethnic
Studies Program’s office, Donella-Eliz
abeth Alston told a different story. Al
ston, the program’s office coordinator,
said there had been “tons” of confu
sion and that a lot of students have
come in asking if Grayson had moved.
“A lot of tjjjp student population is
just not familiar with the building,”
she said. She also seemed to think die
costs of changing business cards and
stationery, which she estimated at
about $650, were far from nominal.
But she added that she thinks the
name change is a good idea.
“It’s good, though, calling (the
building) after a river,” she said “At
least it’s something they won’t have
to change in a couple years for reason
of embezzlement. ”
