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.
