Morales has worked with the Ore

, Just like his running mate,
Morales did not think he was going
to be college-bound when he was
growing up. With the help of “Up

i helping first-generation students get
, into college, Morales started on the
( path that would lead him to where
he is today.
“The struggle is for everyone who
comes from a working class or
comes from backgrounds where
their family hasn’t gone to college
before,” he said.

Stadium
continued from page 1
by the University. The site next to
Autzen Stadium, located on Cen
tennial Boulevard, provides ade
quate space for the arena and is al
ready zoned for the appropriate
level of use. Howe Field, the cur
rent home of the University softball
program, is right on campus. If the
arena were built at Howe, it could
be used for other University needs,
allowing McArthur Court to be used
as an auxiliary gym.
Three of the sites are within
walking distance of the University:
the federal courthouse site, locat
ed on Broadway Street; the old
Coca-Cola bottling site, on River
front Parkway between Franklin
Boulevard and Millrace Drive; and
the Williams’ Bakery site, located
on East 13th Avenue between Co
lumbia Street and Villard Street.
Both the bottling site and the bak
ery site are already zoned for ac
ceptable land use. All three sites
could easily be used for other Uni
versity activities.
There are two sites stationed
along Franklin Boulevard, one in
Glenwood and one in Springfield.
Both are on the bus line and are of
adequate size for the arena.
In making its final selection, the
University will judge each site by its
proximity to campus, capacity,
parking, acceptable traffic flow, abil
ity to serve other needs, appropriate
land use, community development
goals and availability for construc
tion before July 1,2004.
Williams said all the sites were
equally acceptable, but he was
hopeful that one site, after evalua
tion, would rise above the rest.
Regardless of the site chosen,
both Williams and Moos said they
will work with planners to ensure
the arena adequately serves the
needs of the students and the ath
letic program. These needs include
incorporating the emotional attach
ment many fans feel with McArthur
Court into the new building.
“There’s a tremendous amount of
passion for Mac Court,” Moos said.
“The challenges we face include the
need to capture the intimidating
and unique environment of Mac
Court in a new arena.”
This intimidation factor may have
helped the Ducks win 30 of their 32
home games over the last two sea
sons, Moos said.
The University hired the HKS ar
chitecture firm, from Dallas, to aid
in the planning of the new arena,
which Williams said will have a sim
ilar feel to the current stadium.
Men’s basketball head coach
Ernie Kent said it is not the building
that is important to the team and to
the University; it is the people that
attend the games.
“The image that I sell all the time,
on the road, all across the country,
is not so much the building but the
community,” Kent said. “It’s the
people that make Mac Court what it
is. If we can keep that same com
munity, that same involvement,
then the transition to a new court
will be smooth.”
Not everyone is ready to give up
McArthur Court so easily, however.
Sophomore Rudy Tyburczy has at
tended several men’s basketball
games at the venerable stadium and
said a new court would not hold the
same magic, or intimidation factor,
as the original.
“It’s always great going to games
at Mac Court,” Tyburczy said.
“Whenever you go, you’re going to
have a great time. There’s just
something sort of special about Mac
— there’s no other place like it in
the nation.”
The athletic department will pres
ent plans for the new arena by July 1
to University President Dave Frohn
mayer, but a formal announcement
of the plan will probably not occur
until fall term 2003, according to a
University spokeswoman.
