Slug continued from page 1 Queen. “My answer was I would endorse glamour — of course — because I’m the most glamorous thing I know,” he said. Queen Bagonda offered some advice for wannabe queens. “Pull out all the stops. Go over the top. If you think something is too outrageous, then you should probably do it for the competition,” he said. “The glo ry never ends when you are a SLUG Queen.” Once crowned, the queen of slime then trails over the Eu gene Celebration, Sept. 20 to 22. The queen also participates in the Mayor’s Art Show, the Eugene Celebration parade, the parade awards ceremony, press interviews, local events throughout the year and next year’s coronation. Also, the queen receives a decadent five pound slug-shaped chocolate truffle from Fenton & Lee Con fections, a sash, crown and flowers. The reigning SLUG Queen, Queen Darcy, thinks the best thing about being queen is reign ing over the Eugene Celebration. “The SLUG Queen adds re galness and glamour to the cel ebration,” she said. “The queen makes it an unique Eugene event.” For more information, con tact Kim Still at 686-8885 or e-mail her at kimstill@eugene saturdaymarket.org.

Child Care continued from page 1 In order to get approval, the building has to meet certain criteria and building standards. The Fairmount neighborhood is a medium-density area, so the Uni versity’s plans for the building must blend in with the overall small-building size. The proposed center is a design concept that is intended to be resi dential, EMU Child Care Coordina tor Dennis Reynolds said. Some contend that the current plans for the building would not al low the structure to blend in suc cessfully with the neighborhood when it is built. “I think it’s institutional, and it doesn’t fit the character (of the neigh borhood) very well,” Osanka said. However, others say that the building does blend in. Those in support of the current proposed de sign for the site say that, because it is a one-story structure, it doesn’t compete with the surrounding buildings, Lobisser said. The ECCC will consist of class rooms, administrative offices, con ference rooms and a kitchen, Lo bisser said. Lobisser added that the proposed building will be energy efficient be cause of the solar heating, ground source heat pump (which pulls ener gy from the earth) and dense walls. The University has also deter mined specific materials that will be used for construction. “We’re trying to make this building as sustainable as possible by using natural and sustaining materials wherever possible,” Lo bisser said. Supporters say the materials that Premier Travel "1 • Airfare Deals!!! • Chicago - $198.00*1!

Associate city planner Kent Kuliby said that in the public notice, the city had not made clear which issues would have bearing on the permit applica tion. He added that lawyers present at the meeting said there was not enough public represen tation. Also, those opposing the permit, such as the Pairmount Neighborhood Association, wanted more time to gather in formation on the subject According to Sartre Associ ates planning manager Terri Harding, the city also left off the Pairmount Neighborhood’s name on the public notice. ‘’The city erred in meeting their procedural requirements for the public notice, so in or der for the city to correct that, they have to send a new public notice,” Harding said. r- . the University at the July 24 hearing and will .. pre sent the University o» Aug, 21. —- fiHian Da ley will be used for the building help it blend in with the neighborhood as well as with the University. “It has brick trim that reflects the brick campus,” Reynolds said. “A very similar building is the fire sta tion, which is located on the corner of 17th and Agate, which is just two blocks from where our site is.

The University’s current rules for construction state that any new building must exceed in quality the required building code specifica tions by 20 percent, so new con struction must be above average, Reynolds said. The building’s structure and ap pearance are being analyzed ac cording to many different stan dards, and by various individuals and groups. “The reality in terms of aesthet ics is, it’s a judgment call,” Reynolds said.
