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".

CORRECTION
In "Former coach files grievance against UO" (ODE, Nov. 20), the com
plaint filed by former Oregon assistant track and field coach Sally Harmon
and cited throughout the story contained a few errors.
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.
