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

"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."

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.
