LOY continued from page 1 crediting what work people did." rrhe second edition of the atlas is full of maps created us ing the latest high-speed computer and cutting-edge graph ics technology that Loy helped bring to the University. Jim Meacham, a former student, helped Loy estab lish the UO InfoGraphics Lab, one of the first comput er labs on campus. Meacham, a research associate and director of the InfoGraphics Lab, said he first met Loy two decades ago as an undergraduate student. Meacham said Loy was a very thoughtful and caring teacher. He said in the middle of a midterm, Loy would walk around the class with a plastic container of peppermint candy he called "smart pills" and offer them to students. "Seeing Bill with a smile and some candy would help you relax and focus," Meacham said. Loy kept in touch with many of his students after they graduated. "Bill always made himself available and people re ally appreciated that," Meacham said. "1 le would help you find the answer enthusiastically, and he was very supportive to students and to graduates." Other instructors also saw Loy as a great teacher and a loyal friend. Geography Professor Pat McDowell worked with Loy at the University since Loy hired her 20 years ago. "Bill had the wonderful combination of being an outstanding cartographer in his own right," McDow ell said. "But he was also the kind of person who could step back and mentor and encourage people to do good work in the field." McDowell said Loy was very active within the geog raphy department and the Eugene community. Loy devoted much of his time and energy to the churches he attended and was very involved with the Boy Scouts of America. Additionally, Loy donated more than 100 units of blood during his life, accord ing to a memorial page on the geography department Web site. "He was just one of those people who (was) just a pillar of the community, and he was also that way in the department," McDowell said. Loy loved canoeing and often organized canoe trips and picnics with friends and students. I le was also an avid woodworker who built many of the bookshelves and tables that are still used inside Condon Hall, Meacham said. Loy received many honors and professional awards during his career at the University. In 2002, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the University, one of its highest honors.

PARENTS continued from page 1 Foisy said she liked how the map itself is being created to appeal to children with its childlike fonts and symbols. "Even my 3-year-old could look at that and she would know 'look mama this is where the playground would be,' so it felt very kid-friendly," Foisy said. Logvin said the map's design comes from the InfoGraphics Lab in the Geography Department and is meant to be fun for kids, too. "It's playful yet professional," she said. ASUO Nontraditional Student Advocate Kimberly Archer said she thinks the map will be helpful for student parents who need to bring their children to campus during non-class hours. "The child-friendly map will be a great addition," she said. "It's just a visual depiction of all the resources on campus." Archer said she is trying to create more resources for student parents as well. For one day during Dead Week, she will make student parents' lives a little easier by providing day care at her home for those who need a little extra time to study or do some holiday shopping. "Being a student parent, my house is set up to accommodate several chil dren," she said. She added that those who are interested can e-mail her at asuontra@gladstone.uoregon.edu. Archer is also working to set up a baby-sitting co-op program in which parents trade baby-sitting hours with one another. She said student parents need to become more in volved on campus for programs like this to be successful, however. "Student parents are a group on campus that everyone knows exist but don't get a lot of exposure," she said, adding that many student par ents blend in and it can be difficult to recognize one another. Foisy said she feels the University could use some improvements for faculty parents, even though many resources are available for student parents. She said at times her hours have accommodated her family life, but at other times they have been inflex ible, adding that University child care hours need to match up better with faculty hours. "If the University wants to be fam ily-friendly, here's an area that really needs to be worked on and provid ed: University childcare services that are more flexible," she said.
