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.”

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

Continuation of hearing
to be held Aug. 21
A new public bearing on the
University's conditional use and
site review permits for the pro
posed East Campus Children's
Center will be held on Aug. 21,
continuing the fuiy 24 hearing.
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.

“It has brick trim that reflects the

of 17th and Agate, which is just two
blocks from where our site is.

“It feels a lot like a small school
building — because that’s what it
is,” he said. “A school is consid
ered compatible with most neigh
borhoods.”
Those who are opposed to the
structure say that it is not the type
of building that is under debate, but
how it will be constructed in com
parison to the other housing.
“Schools are allowed in residen
tial neighborhoods, as are churches,
but (the schools) have to be harmo
nious,” Fairmount Neighborhood
Association member Mary Ann
Holser said.
“This is a historic neighborhood
with a lot of character,” Holser said.
“(The proposed ECCC) doesn’t
have to fit in exactly, just not stick
out like a sore thumb.”
The center must also be up to
University standards, and support
ers say the University’s standards
are fairly high.
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.
