project, Physical Activity and Recre
ation Services Director Dennis
Munroe said. First, one of the six
huge lights that illuminates the area
at night was partially blocked by the
Hayward Field grandstands directly
to the east. Although a new, more
compatible light pole came several
weeks later, the construction equip
ment needed to install the new sys
tem temporarily stopped all other
work because it would have dam
aged the field.
Another delay was a problem with
the top layer of gravel, Balzhiser &
Hubbard engineer Monica Anderson
said. NexTurf fields are designed to
drain an incredible amount of water in
a matter of minutes, but the rocks that
help stabilize the turf weren’t the right
size and created a drainage problem.
“It must have been 75 dump trucks
full of gravel before they figured it out,”
Munroe said.
By the time the problems were
solved, the project had been delayed
beyond the start of school. Contractors
had to hire security guards and extra
employees to try to keep students off
the sensitive construction area.
“You could stand there and talk to
people, and they still would walk
right through,” Munroe said, adding
that there are still some bicycle
treadmarks on the side of the field.
Then the rain came. The glues
that adhere the turf to the rubbery
surface underneath don’t work when
moisture is in the air. In fact, the re
cent dry weather is the only thing
that’s keeping the project moving to
ward a December completion date.
Almost one year ago, Munroe ap
proached the Athletic Department
and asked them if PARS could buy
the department’s old turf. Athletic
Department officials originally de
clined, but when they finally decided
to permanently replace NexTurf
with a new material, the department
not only decided to donate the Nex
Turf to PARS, but to install it for
them, too.
“What they ended up offering to us
was a gift to build the entire field,”
Munroe said.
The new field will be used for
OMB, men’s and women’s soccer and
lacrosse and individual student use.
Like the older synthetic turf field di
rectly north of the new one, the area
will be open for anyone to use when
scheduled activities aren’t in session.
The large overhead lights will allow
the field to stay open from when it
first gets light in the morning until 11
p.m. most days.

call to us.”
Student Affairs Vice President
and Dean of Students Anne Leavitt
said she thinks EPD has been effec
tive in saturating patrols in the
neighborhood, and that even with
out the additional officers, the de
partment will still be paying a lot of
attention to the area.
“I think a combination of the po
lice and the University notifying stu
dents about how to hold responsible
parties and how to behave properly
has clearly been effective,” she said.
Jeannine Parisi, an analyst for the
Eugene Police Commission, said the
weather also could be one reason for
a decrease in activity.
“Once it gets colder and wetter,
the number of people partying in
their yards and walking around
with open containers decreases,”
she said.
Parisi said EPD decided not to
deploy as many officers in the
neighborhood after Halloween be
cause of cost expenses; EPD
spends about $6,000 each week
end it has overtime officers patrol
the neighborhood.
“It is simply a resource issue,”
Parisi said. “We could be spending
this money on other programs.”

Leading up to Halloween, the
neighborhood was clearly a party
spot. The day following the riot,
Sept. 28, EPD issued 55 citations.
The number of citations issued
increased dramatically over the
next few weeks. On Oct. 4 and 5,
125 citations were handed out, and
on Oct. 11 and 12, EPD issued about
123 citations.
But in the next two weekends, the
number of citations declined. On
Oct. 18 and 19, 55 citations were
handed out, and 84 people received
tickets on Oct. 25 and 26.
The Halloween weekend marked
the final appearance of the West
University Focused Patrol. The pa
trol issued 47 citations on Hal
loween and distributed about 18 ci
tations on the nights of Nov. 1 and 2.
Over the last two weeks, EPD has
stopped compiling data about neigh
borhood citations.
“Do we think partying is gone?
No,” Olshanski said. “We’re not that
blind to college life on a Friday or
Saturday night.”
As for future police presence, Ol
shanski said EPD will increase pa
trols if it has reason to believe that
there will be a high level of party ac
tivity in the neighborhood for a par
ticular weekend.
