Hayward: Powells also gave money to the business college for faculty support
Continued from page 1
Hayward Field know that it still beats
with the heart of Steve Prefontaine
and echoes with the memories of Bill
Hayward, Bill Bowerman, Bill
Dellinger,” Frohnmayer said. “But
many of those who come here in the
future will have no such immediate
memory, whether it goes back to the
Olympic trials or as recently as two
weeks ago, and that’s why these
historical plaques are so important.”
Dellinger, who was head coach
from 1973 to 1998, attended the cere
mony and spent a few minutes be
forehand admiring the timeline and
reflecting on the future of the track
and field program.
“I like it,” Dellinger said. “It’s going
to be real good.”
Peter Powell said he passed by Hay
ward Field every day when he lived in
the residence halls during his under
graduate years and that although
world-class athletes such as Pre
fontaine and Salazar were competing
there, the view from East 15th Avenue
and Agate Street “was sort of sad and
actually run-down affair. ”
“We’re hoping with the donation

from the Powell family in conjunc
tion with the Bowerman family that
this front door will bring the Univer
sity and this venue into a league of
its own,” he said.
Peter and Molly Powell also do
nated $500,000 to the University’s
Lundquist College of Business for
the sole purpose of faculty support,
citing their disappointment when
their favorite University professor
took a job at another school after he
was made an offer the University
could not match.
“As the University becomes more
renowned on a national level, how can
we compete against other institutions,
many of whom have financial endow
ments?” Molly Powell asked. “Peter
and I realize this will only be done
through private support.”
Molly Powell said the family is
hopeful the donation to the business
school “will provide the financial mus
cle power that the business school
needs to compete for those teachers on
a national level.”
The donations bring the total
amount raised in Campaign Oregon up
to $324 million. Campaign Oregon vice
chair Tim Boyle thanked the Powell
and Bowerman families and praised
the contributions to both academics
and athletics.
“A U of O education, as these donors
demonstrate so well, is about what we
learn in class and what we learn out
side of class,” Boyle said. “It’s about
professors who inspire us and coaches
who encourage us. It’s about learning
to think and how to lead.”
College of Business Dean Jim Bean
thanked the Powells for establishing

Powell Faculty Excellence Fund” and
contributing to the college’s goal of be
ing among the best business schools in
the country.
University Vice President for Admin
istration Dan Williams spoke on behalf
of the Athletics Department, sharing
memories of Hayward Field and re
flecting on its outlook for the future.
“The Powell Plaza will revitalize
and solidify the University of Oregon’s
position as a premier track and field
university in the country and, impor
tantly as well, Eugene city’s position as
TVack Town USA,” Williams said. “It’s
because of privately funded facilities
like this that we are able to host such
events that create the atmosphere that
results in the kind of performances
that we saw in the Oregon Twilight
Meet right here last Saturday.”
Rupp, a prized recruit from Port
land, was named USA TYack & Field’s
Athlete of the Week because he ran to
a record-breaking win in the 10,000
meters at the Twilight meet. Rupp
trained with Salazar at Nike’s
Oregon Project in Portland, a live-in
training facility for young athletes with
championship prospects.
Salazar joined the University after
the Athletics Department struck a deal
with then-coach Martin Smith that he
would resign but still receive his entire
salary plus the value of his personnel
expenses through 2008, the final year
of his contract.
“I don’t really want to dredge over
stuff in the past,” Salazar, who attend
ed the ceremony, said in an interview.
“I think this event sort of shows today
that there’s a bright new future for Ore
gon Track and Field and that’s what I
think all of us should focus on. I truly
believe that Oregon, for a variety of
reasons, is really going to get back to
where it was 25-30 years ago. ”
“There’s a DNA working here; a
DNA replication,” Frohnmayer said af
ter the ceremony, referring to the pro
gram’s rich history.

IN BRIEF
New meth pharmacy rules
take permanent effect
PORTLAND — New permanent
pharmacy regulations that took effect
this weekend will require Oregonians
to show identification when they buy
certain kinds of cold medicine.
Consumers’ names and driver’s li
cense numbers will then be placed
on a list that the pharmacy will keep
for at least two years.
The permanent new rules make
it more inconvenient to buy cold
medicines, such as Sudafed, that
contain pseudoephedrine, which
can easily be turned into the illegal
drug methamphetamine.
The rules, approved in April by the
Oregon Board of Pharmacy, are
intended to diminish the spread of
meth use.
“The information we got from a
presentation by police,” said Gary
Miner, the pharmacy board’s compli
ance director, “was that they
(meth cooks) don’t want to give out
that information, and they tend to
be paranoid.”
The regulations affect only medica
tions in solid form, not liquids or liq
uid-filled gel caps, which are far more
difficult to process into the illegal drug.
In October, under the direction of
Gov. Ted Kulongoski, the pharmacy
board passed a temporary rule that
required the cold pills to be put be
hind pharmacy counters and for buy
ers to present photo identification.
The rules restrict purchasers to
nine grams of active pseu
doephedrine a month — about
the amount in three 24-pill boxes
of Sudafed.
