MUSEUM continued from page 1 times as much art, Sproles said. "The museum was built around a collection of 3,000 pieces," Spro les said. "Now we have more like 12,000." Part of the museum will be open in October to display a special trav eling exhibition of work by Andy Warhol. The exhibition started in Montana, and all of the pieces come from the private collection of Jordan Schnitzer. The University will host the collection until April 2005. A new security system, as well as new climate controls, will allow the University to host many more travel ing art exhibits and borrow works from other museums. The redesigned art museum will also have new galleries devoted to American Regional art, Northwest art and Korean art, as well as a new space to store its famous collection of Japanese and Chinese artwork. Conference rooms and lecture halls have also been added. Patrons will have access to an interactive dis covery gallery that will show them how the art they have observed in the galleries is made. A cafe was also added in an effort to draw more of the student popu lation. Along with serving food and coffee, the cafe will offer wireless BRIEF continued from page 1 biology and medical imaging tech nologies to investigate fundamental processes of the human brain and mind," according to a University press release.

"It might be the thing to attract those who don't normally come into the museum," Sproles said. The museum was renamed in May in honor of University graduate Jordan Schnitzer, who gave a multi million dollar contribution to the $14.1 million project that made much of the renovation possible. "I feel great pride in contributing to something that will have such a lasting effect on our state, and that will impact the lives of thousands if not millions of people," Schnitzer said in a press release. When the museum reopens, ad mission cost for adults will be $5.Non University students will pay $3. Uni versity students and faculty will con tinue to be admitted free of charge. Junior Japanese major Katherine Costello said that while she would like to see the renovated art muse um, she is willing to wait. Costello is also glad that construction is com plete and no longer blocking her path across campus. "1 kind of wish they'd hurry up and get it open," Costello said. "Right now I only get to look inside when they leave the doors open."

Neuman r OLYMPICS continued from page 1 entertaining everyone is the easy part, she said, because Eugene has many eateries and activities that ap peal to the young teens and pre teens who participate in the event. "As long as we can find rooms for everybody and keep them happy on that level, the meet will go like clock work," Phillips said. Participants agreed housing has been the only prominent problem with the event. "I think at some point the city needed to say we don't have enough room for all these people," visiting Texan Susan Bray said. Bray was able to book a Eugene hotel room back in February but said those who tried to do so after March were not as fortunate. "I think a lot of people were frustrated," she said. Ann McKee of North Carolina was one of those people. A coach of the Fayetteville Flyers, McKee said her team is being forced to stay at a hotel in Salem after unsuccessfully hotel-hunting in Eugene two weeks ago. Fortunately, the team's events have been scheduled closely together so they will only have to make one trip a day, McKee said. "We'll come up each morning then we can head home right afterwards; it shouldn't be too bad," she said. If frustrations with the lack of housing are the biggest problem, Bray said this event will be better than in other events she has attend ed, citing incidents in which local restaurants closed early be cause of food shortages or inade quate staffing. "I can't say that about Eugene. .They're prepared and ready to go. They just don't have the rooms," Bray said. Meghann Cimiff is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. Erik R.
