Mick Jaggers has circulated photographs—like the one above—that ‘capture the ghost of Steve Prefontaine’ running through the Pioneer
Cemetery. Jaggers also sells other ‘proof,’ including plaster castings of Pre s footprints and pieces of tattered shoe laces.
Attacker’s identity revealed?
■ Retired archivist Mick Jaggers
floats a rumor that runner Steve
Prefontaine’s ghost is behind the
recent spate of campus attacks
By Mikalos Kloknav
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Department of Public Safety
tells students that walking through
the Pioneer Cemetery at night is
risky. The ASUO Women’s Center
tells women to learn self-defense
and not to travel alone at night. Stu
dents are aware that campus at
tacks have been on the rise, but no
one has been able to track down the
perpetrator or even speculate about
who — or what — it is.
Until now.
Retired University archivist Mick
Jaggers said Friday that he believes
he has identified the culprit. The
ghost of University track star Steve
Prefontaine is to blame for the cam
pus attacks and a recent attempted
armed robbery, Jaggers said, and
DPS officials seem satisfied with
his explanation.
“There are stories around the
University that Pre’s ghost never
left his favorite areas, including the
cemetery and the Autzen Foot
bridge,” Jaggers said. “He used to
love to run there, and he probably
still does, although now he has a
more disturbing motive.”
Prefontaine died May 30, 1975
after crashing his car on Skyline
Boulevard near Birch Lane.
Prefontaine’s family expressed
anger and disgust at Jagger’s accu
sations and said it was “absolutely
unbelievable” that anyone would
even think such things.
“Pre was loving and kind,” said a
relative who wished to remain
anonymous. “We don’t understand
this idea. If Pre is a ghost, he’s prob
ably a happy one.”
Jaggers said he first made the con
nection to Pre’s ghost after the recent
armed robbery. Pre’s ghost is search
ing for money to get his car fixed,
Jaggers speculated, and he may be
terrorizing women out of misguided
anger toward his ex-girlfriend.
“Well, you can ask around, and
you’ll hear these same stories,” Jag
gers said. “He was very angry at his
girlfriend for cheating on him, and
he is probably acting inappropriate
ly in his traditional jogging haunt,
the cemetery.”
Eugene historian Mike Hunting
called Jaggers’ claims “ridiculous
and unfounded.”
“I’ve never heard these rumors,”
Hunting said, “and I know every
ghost story associated with Eugene
or the University of Oregon.”
DPS Director Wilhem Klink,
however, said that Pre’s ghost “is as
likely an answer as anything we’re
going to come up with.”
Klink said that DPS has been
working closely with the Eugene
Police Department to identify and
stop the attacker, but a break in the
case is unlikely.
“Basically, we’re willing to ac
cept that premise — it would cer
tainly explain why no one’s been
able to catch him,” Klink said. “The
most we can do right now is tell
students to carry mace and keep to
the well-lit paths. This seems like a
culprit that can’t be caught.”

Rumors & lies
Ducks get educated
for chicken feed
University of Oregon students
are getting a high quality education
at a “really damn cheap” price, ac
cording to two different college
consumer guides.
For the fifth year in a row, the Uni
versity is listed by the “Starr Guide
to Colleges” as one of the nation’s
best bargains for colleges and uni
versities. The publication upgraded
the University’s rating from “Cheap”
to “Wow... Really damn cheap.”
The Starr Guide also rates the
University on a “best buy” list of 43
schools in Oregon, Washington and
Northern California.
Also, the “Caplan/National Re
view College Catalog” called the
University “worth every nickel you
spend” in their annual report.
“If you look past the crumbling
buildings, ineffective teaching and
bored students, the University of
Oregon provides a degree at a rea
sonable cost,” the report said.
The report went on to praise the
school’s architecture, creative
writing and education depart
ments as giving students all they
need to succeed.
“This confirms what we already
know,” Director of Admissions P.
Everett Newhouse said.
