During winter term, Heinonen
said, crews repaired the older east
grandstands, and the vertical high
beams of the grandstands were re
painted as of Thursday. Tom Jor
dan, meet director of the 2002
Prefontaine Classic, said water had
seeped into the top of the 70-year
old grandstands, and dry rot had
formed, which painters discovered
last year.
Jordan said this year’s 28th annu
al Prefontaine Classic event, featur
ing some of the greatest athletes in
the world, is set for May 26.
The 1,000 bleacher seats at the
corner of 15th Avenue and Agate
Street were removed fall term. There
are no plans to replace the con
demned bleachers because they are
only used for seating at the Pre
fontaine Classic. But Jordan said re
cent repairs to 1,200 seats in the east
grandstands — a more than
$300,000 project — will open up
seating for the upcoming meet.
Heinonen said Hayward Field is a
place that holds pride and character.
“People have been doing victory
laps here for decades — sponta
neously,” he said.
The loss of the bleacher seats at
the corner of 15th and Agate will
serve as an opportunity to maintain
that unique history, Heinonen said.
The area will be transformed to fea
ture monuments to past athletes
and coaches, while acting as a gath
ering space outside the stadium for
receptions and offering a perma
nent concession stand.
Steve McBride, assistant director
of internal operations with the De
partment of Intercollegiate Athlet
ics, said upgrading that corner will
create an entrance plaza or “front
door to the facility.”
“We made a decision to take (the
bleachers) out because it was not
cost effective to leave them there in
terms of the repairs that were need
ed,” McBride said. From three U.S.
Olympic Trials to numerous Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion championships, the long list of
achievements of coaches and ath
letes will be recognized in this
space, McBride said. While he said
specifics haven’t been defined as to
who will be acknowledged or when
the project will be completed, an
architect has done sketches of po
tential uses for that space.
McBride added that the “mys
tique of Hayward Field” has
evolved through the series of
“Bills” who have coached men’s
track and field — Bill Hayward (for
whom the field is named), Bill
Bowerman, Bill Dellinger and now
the present men’s track and field
head coach, Martin Smith.
High jumper Rachael Kriz said
compared to other track stadiums
at colleges she has traveled to so
far this season, Hayward Field is
best around.
“The overall quality of mainte
nance at Hayward is superior,”
she said.

continued from page 1
in a speech in 1967. According to
Dalton, King said:
“The curse of poverty has no jus
tification in our age. It is socially as
cruel and blind as the practice of
cannibalism at the dawn of civiliza
tion; when men ate each other,
when they had not yet learned to
take food from the soil or to con
sume the abundant animal life
around them. The time has come
for us to civilize ourselves by the to
tal, direct and immediate abolition
of poverty.”
Dalton added that we, as a socie
ty, have confused human rights
with property rights, given that
Oregon’s poverty rate is the highest
in the nation. According to ESSN,
70 percent of those in poverty are
working full time.

Businesses such as Hynix will be
directly affected by the ordinance
because of the subsidies they re
ceive. According to a survey by the
Lane Workforce Board, the average
pay at Hynix is $9.00 an hour,
which is far below the wage pro
posed by the ordinance.
