Tailgate Auction raises funds for local schools, students The auction has raised $180,000 for college scholarships and Springfield public school programs By Chelsea Duncan News Reporter As people throw tailgate parties to gear up for Saturday's Civil War game, one tailgate party will show school spirit by raising money for scholarships. The University Alumni Association and the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce are hosting the sixth-an nual Tailgate Auction tonight begin ning at 5:30 p.m. at the Eugene Hilton. Tickets to the silent and oral auction, sponsored by Symantec, are $75 and everyone from the commu nity is invited to attend. "It's a fun, great event and we're just so fortunate we can raise so much money for scholarships," Uni versity Alumni Association Executive Director Dan Rodriguez said. Money raised at the auctions will fund University and Lane Commu nity College scholarships as well as K-12 education programs at Spring field schools. The auction has raised $180,000 for scholarships over the past six years, Rodriguez said. Springfield Chamber Member ship Director Tiffany Brownson said without the fund-raiser, programs such as middle school and high school career days wouldn't exist. "We use it as our biggest fund-rais er for the year," she said. Rodriguez said although some Oregon State University alumni at tend the auction, such as Springfield Chamber Board President Mike Kel ly, the association's share of the money goes to University students. "All of that money goes to the U of O, not the Beavers," he said. "We go through the whole night taking great pride in giving heck to the Beavers." Freshman Aurora Pulido received a scholarship from last year's fund-rais er, and she said the money helped her afford the extra costs of textbooks. "The scholarship helped me out with my books and everything, so it was really important to me," she said. She added that she is looking forward to meeting the other seven students who received scholarships for this school year. Freshman Solomon Rexius said the money he received this year made him more financially secure. He said he thinks one of the reasons he won the award was because of the application essay he wrote titled "What it Means to be a Duck." "I said, 'I already was a Duck since 1 grew up in Eugene,'" he said. Brownson said the auctions in clude about 270 items, many donat ed by local businesses. The oral auc tion includes the more expensive items, such as a vacation home in Denmark, three classic cars and a year's worth of tuition and books at the University. University President Dave Frohn mayer will attend the auction and speak on the importance of raising money for scholarships. Oregon football head coach Mike Bellotti will also be present, along with the University Rally Squad and the University Green Garter Band. The night will include a small pep rally, Rodriguez said. "We're taking advantage of the fact that everybody's geared up for the Civil War game," Rodriguez said. "Everyone will get into the spirit of the tailgate party." Rexius said he is also excited to meet the other scholarship winners, but he's not sure if he'll bid on any of the auction items. "We'll see," he said. "If they have anything good, I'll bring my wallet". Contact the higher education/ student iife/student affairs reporter at chelseaduncan@dailyemerald.com.

First, the complaint asserted that Liz James, former director of operations tor the women's program, was "discharged" from her position. In fact, she was admitted to graduate school and voluntarily opted not to re-apply for the position. Second, Harmon's complaint asserted that Harmon was inducted into the Oregon Hall of Fame twice for athletics and coaching accomplishments. How ever, Harmon was an athlete both times. Also, the story's lead stated that Harmon has yet to receive a response from the University concerning her complaint. For clarification, the University's re sponse will be part of an investigation that will not begin until December. Oregon Daily Emerald P.O.
