Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives
Only with gifts from friends and alumni can we
preserve excellence at the University of Oregon.
Our $600 million fundraising campaign will help
the University of Oregon attract top students and
professors, maintain premier facilities and
continue groundbreaking research.

It's Our Oregon
By Dave Frohnmayer, president, University of Oregon
I hope you will take a moment to read the stories and highlights in this special edition of
Inside Oregon. They represent an extraordinary effort that involves and affects all of us-
Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives.
The campaign is providing the vital resources we need to bring our financial base, our
facilities and programs, and our national reputation up to the level of our outstanding faculty
and staff members.
In recent years, your resourcefulness and your willingness to collaborate and innovate have
helped keep the university moving forward in the face of reductions in state financial
support. The other important factor in moving forward has been-and will continue to be-
private gifts. It is increasingly clear that, in the years to come, philanthropy will be the
source of investment capital that will take us to new levels of distinction.
In addition to the service you give the university every day, I know that many of you helped
develop the goals and priorities for the campaign and helped promote the initiative to our
alumni and friends. A good many of you have also dug into your own pocketbooks to make
gifts.

With your help, we have passed the halfway mark of Campaign Oregon. As of the end of
October, we raised more than $373 million toward the $600-million campaign goal. We still
have a long way to go in meeting the overall goal, the sub-goals, and your specific priorities.
But campaign gifts are already having a considerable impact on campus: new student
scholarships, new endowed faculty chairs and professorships, new buildings, new support for
teaching and research.
This is only the beginning of what we can all accomplish together. I thank you for what you
have already done and what you do every day to transform lives on this campus. I entreat
you to imagine how much farther we can go and how you can help us get there.
It's our Oregon, and through our actions today, we will determine the university's future.

Precision Castparts Award 'Opens' the Door to Everything
Jamil Berry, at left, has a paid internship every summer at Precision Castparts in Portland
in addition to a University of Oregon scholarship.
Jamil Berry grew up in northeast Portland. When he was six, his dad was incarcerated for
drug trafficking. When he was ten, his mother died of multiple sclerosis and his grandmother
took him in. Thanks to her-and a scholarship-this fall he started his junior year at Oregon
with big plans for the future.
"I grew up in the inner city," said Berry. "My grandma sheltered me from that stuff and kept
me on a tight leash. She had a lot to do with me getting the Precision Castparts
scholarship."
Since 1992, the Portland-based company has sponsored scholarships for promising lowincome
students to attend a private Catholic school in Milwaukie, Oregon. Berry was the first
recipient. In 2003, he was also the first to receive the company's UO scholarship, which is
given to one student per year. This fall, there are four Precision Castparts scholars receiving
full tuition and fees, room and board in university housing, and an allowance for books.
"We care about these students and we want to make a difference," said Chuck Zwick,
operations manager at the company's steel plant. As part of the program, scholarship
recipients are required to report their progress to the company.

"A college education is crucial," said Berry. "It opens the door to everything." He is
considering a business major and plans to pursue an M.B.A. degree. Precision Castparts also
offers a paid summer internship, and Jamil has worked three summers at the company.
And his grandmother? "She's proud of me. But there's still a lot of work to be done, so she's
very demanding."

All Oregon Citizens Benefit
from Campaign
Anthropology students explore the new exhibit hall at the Museum of Natural and Cultural
History. The $1 million exhibit, "Oregon-Where Past is Present," was made possible with
private gifts.
The University of Oregon serves its students and all citizens of Oregon and beyond. From
the UO Libraries' vast resources to the renowned Oregon Bach Festival, from the museums
of art and natural history to the 16 intercollegiate sports teams, the university provides
knowledge, entertainment, and cultural enrichment to the community, the state, the nation
and the world.
Support from Campaign Oregon donors has extended the reach and enhanced the value of
such programs. The following are just a few examples:
l A university promise made to Native American students and tribal members came to
fruition because of donor support for the new Many Nations Longhouse. The 3,000-
square-foot building provides a gathering place for students and a bridge to other
cultures. The Coquille tribe, the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation, and the Spirit
Mountain Community Fund of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde provided major
support.
http://duckhenge.uoregon.edu/io/article.php?id=498 (1 of 2)12/2/2005 4:17:01 AM

l Film historians and enthusiasts can explore a treasure trove of twentieth-century
filmmaking in the papers and memorabilia of film director and alumnus James Ivory.
Ivory donated some twenty-six boxes of material to UO Libraries' Special Collections
and University Archives.
l The Oregon Humanities Center offers a wealth of free public programs, from music
lectures and performances to readings by well-known authors and symposiums on
religious and social issues. Most of these programs are made possible by funding from
private donors such as retired physics professor Jack Overley and his wife, Jill.
l Visitors to the Museum of Natural and Cultural History enjoy a new core exhibit,
Oregon-Where Past Is Present, thanks to donors who contributed $1 million to the
project.
l Football fans enjoy one of the finest stadiums in the country. Campaign donors are
largely responsible for the $90 million expansion of Autzen Stadium, which added
more restrooms and concessions, new skyboxes, a new press area, and 12,000 new
seats, increasing capacity to 54,000.
l The UO library system is becoming a leader in developing new technologies for
increased access to library materials, thanks to a gift from the family of head football
coach Mike Bellotti and matching gifts from the athletic department and the College of
Arts and Sciences.

Gift Brings Early English
Books Online
< Example of an Early English book from
1806.
Campaign Oregon gifts to the University of Oregon Libraries are instrumental in helping
purchase valuable new research tools that would otherwise be difficult to acquire.
No better example exists than the library's recent acquisition of Early English Books Online
(EEBO), a database of all printed materials published in Great Britain between 1473 and
1700 and materials printed elsewhere in the world in English during the same period.
Purchase of EEBO was made possible in part by a gift from Tom and Mimi Hartfield.
The database contains digitized facsimiles of books, tracts, pamphlets, advertisements,
ballads, rhymes, and other material. William Rockett, associate professor emeritus of
English, notes that UO faculty members and students in religious studies, political science,
the history of science, and literature-to name just a few disciplines covered in EEBO-will
now be able to study both prominent and obscure historical printed documents at their
computers.
The database will continue to expand as new items are added to the more than 100,000
records already available. Increased capabilities for direct keyword searching of the texts will
also be developed as the resource grows.

Expanding Cultural Connections
The Oregon Bach Festival is a world-class celebration of Bach's music and influence. It is
also a community performance and educational event, offering classes for conductors and
musicians, programs for children and free community events.
Art lovers have a spacious, world-class museum where they can view important exhibitions
such as Andy Warhol's Dream America, and classical music lovers can rest assured that the
annual Oregon Bach Festival will be thriving for decades to come.
These are just two of the ways in which Campaign Oregon has enhanced the cultural,
athletic, and social programs that reach beyond campus to serve the citizens of Oregon, the
nation, and the world.
Private gifts from donors such as Jordan Schnitzer, Farwest Steel Corporation, and the Huh
family of South Korea made possible a $14.4 million expansion and renovation of what is
now called the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Patrons are enjoying greatly expanded
gallery space dedicated to American, European, and Asian art, larger traveling exhibitions,
special events spaces, outdoor courtyards, and a new museum café and store.
The Oregon Bach Festival's drive to secure its future with a $10 million endowment was
launched by campaign donors including Mary Ann and Pete Moore, Andrew and Phyllis

Berwick, and David Katzin. All made significant pledges to the endowment, helping to fund
in perpetuity the operations of the widely esteemed festival and fueling growth of artistic
and educational programs.

Research Has Extraordinary Implications
Students guided by Dave Johnson, professor of chemistry, in background, examine
equipment used in nanoscience research.
Campaign Oregon gifts are supporting faculty and student research that could have
extraordinary implications for human health, economic vitality, education, the environment,
and countless other fields.
Here are some examples.
At the Robert and Beverly Lewis Center for Neuroimaging, researchers are studying how
genetic factors affect brain development. The research could lead to new treatments for
stroke victims and new hope for people with impaired vision or hearing.
An anonymous donor gave $50,000 to the Department of Psychology for the Trauma and
Oppression Research Fund.
Bonnie and Tony Addario gave $50,000 to the College of Arts and Sciences for research on
fractals, repeating patterns in nature that have implications in fields as wide-ranging as art,
technology, and health.
The late Georgianne and Kenneth Singer gave nearly $70,000 for faculty research
fellowships in the Oregon Humanities Center.

Small Science, Big Discoveries
The creation of the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI) will mean
big discoveries in small science. Nanoscience and microscales research-manipulating units
of matter a thousand times smaller than a human hair-is transforming electronics,
medicine, and manufacturing. It will also transform Oregon's economy.
The Institute is a partnership that connects the UO, Portland State University, and Oregon
State University with industry leaders in an effort to put research on the fast track. This
collaborative effort will mean more patents, licensing, and spinoff companies for the
universities. And that means new jobs, products, and business for the Northwest.
This year, Hewlett-Packard donated a $300,000 specialty electronic microscope to the
university's Center for Advanced Materials Characterization in Oregon. The center is part of
ONAMI and opens its doors to other universities and businesses. The microscope has allowed
ONAMI scientists to increase the detail at which they can study matter by a factor of ten.
"Private gifts are crucial to the success of ONAMI," said Dave Johnson, professor of
chemistry.

Gift Propels Program to Top Ranks
Jenni McCord, a doctoral student in human physiology, runs on a
treadmill in the new environmental chamber while fellow student, Tom
Pellinger, measures her oxygen and exertion levels.
Private gifts can profoundly affect the quality and national stature of an academic program.
Case in point: a gift helped propel the university's environmental physiology studies to one
of the top such programs in the country.
The gift from Dave and Nancy Petrone, coupled with a $250,000 federal grant, made
possible the creation of a new environmental chamber that can produce extremes of
http://duckhenge.uoregon.edu/io/article.php?id=497 (1 of 2)12/2/2005 4:17:07 AM
inside oregon
temperature, humidity, oxygen level, solar radiation, and human exertion.
The chamber, located in Esslinger Hall, makes it possible for faculty researchers John
Halliwill and Christopher Minson to study health problems such as sleep apnea and heat
stress. The chamber can simulate altitudes as high as 18,000 feet, temperatures from 13 to
122 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity from 10 to 95 percent.
"This facility raised the level of environmental physiology research in our department from
one of the top ten programs in the country to one of the top two or three programs in the
country," said Halliwill, assistant professor of human physiology. "The type of work we're
doing usually doesn't happen outside a medical school."
The Petrones' gift also helped purchase equipment to measure cardiovascular fitness, bone
density, and muscle strength and flexibility for a new center for biomedical research and
health assessment.
The environmental chamber and the new center are tools to train the department's 350
majors and fifty graduate students for health careers. "The Petrone gift was a watershed
event for our program," said department head Gary Klug, "as it has translated a vision into
reality."

For Donor Couple, Marriage Matters
Professor Emeritus Robert Weiss and his wife, Barbara Perry.
For this couple, marriage matters-on many levels. Robert Weiss, a professor emeritus of
psychology, and Barbara Perry have been married for 30 years.
They have both worked in marital research for as many years, cotaught couples and
marriage classes, and made a gift to the university that will support training for future
therapists.
As Campaign Oregon passes the halfway point, faculty and staff members join the effort by
making private gifts. Like Weiss and Perry, many of them give to their own departments-
and to their life's passions.
"Marriage is a core issue that influences so many different areas," said Weiss. "It has all
sorts of health implications and spreads out over different areas: families, children, and
people's ability to function in a complex society. We need ways to deal with each other that
work."
Weiss joined the psychology faculty in 1966. Perry earned three degrees at Oregon and
continues in her practice as a licensed psychologist. By combining their life insurance
policies, the couple created the Robert L. Weiss and Barbara A. Perry Faculty Endowment
http://duckhenge.uoregon.edu/io/article.php?id=501 (1 of 2)12/2/2005 4:17:08 AM
inside oregon
Fund, which will support faculty members who focus on clinical training. They have also
created an endowment designed to recognize a faculty member who has contributed
substantially to clinical teaching.
"I've had a lifelong connection with the university," said Perry. "Both my parents were
Ducks. Straub Hall, which is now the psychology building, was my dad's dorm. This whole
idea of leaving a legacy that lives on in perpetuity, that's pretty neat. It's nice to know my
name will live on, other than my dissertation in a vault someplace. I recognize that everyone
can't do what we did. But there are many ways to contribute. You don't have to have a huge
chunk of money."
"Training clinical therapists takes an awful lot of people," said Weiss. "But there's also an
amplifier effect. As a therapist, you might help 30 or 40 people in a month. But if you train
other people to research and provide clinical services, your impact is multiplied. We wanted
to know that this kind of training would continue."
Since the beginning of Campaign Oregon, 856 faculty and staff members have made private
gifts. Mathematics professor emeritus Frank Anderson and his wife support a math lecture
series, an annual gift supporting outstanding math graduate teaching fellows, and a special
seminar room.
"These little extras make a university exciting and vibrant," said Anderson, who taught for
48 years before retiring."

Transforming Lives with Scholarships
As of August 2005, the university had raised more than $56 million toward its goal of $100
million for student scholarships and fellowships.
Following are just a few examples:
l A $10 million gift from the Robert W. and Bernice Ingalls Staton Foundation in 2001 is
funding 100 need-based scholarships a year. The first twenty Staton scholars
graduated in June 2005.
l Gifts from the Ann and Bill Swindells Charitable Trust, Jean Doyle, and the late
Georgiana Stevens are supporting thirty-two Presidential Scholarships. Preference is
given to students in fourteen western and central Oregon communities where the
Swindells family business, Willamette Industries, once had a presence.
l The Giustina Foundation is funding 40 presidential scholarships, helping to keep
Oregon's best and brightest in-state.
l Gerry and Marilyn Cameron's gift of $1.2 million supports four Presidential
Scholarships and eight Dean's Scholarships, with preference for family members of U.
S. Bank employees.
l The late Maxine Marie Arndt left half of her estate to provide four need-based
scholarships in business, with preference for women students.
l The estate of Helen Lilja is supporting five dean's scholarships.
l Teresa and Philip Hansen created the first two scholarships for students of Germanic
languages and literatures.

Donors Help Retain Top Educators
Endowed professorships help the university retain top professors such
as Gerry Tindal in the College of Education.
U.S. News and World Report has ranked the College of Education one of the top five public
colleges of education for four years in a row. Thousands of schools in 38 states use the
research and outreach services of the college's faculty.
A superstar faculty like this brings constant job offers from universities that can offer much
higher salaries and better facilities. In the past year, three of the college's top faculty
members were recruited away by other schools.
But thanks to donors, former dean Marty Kaufman was able to name five endowed
professorships last year, stopping the brain drain. "Had our donors not helped with those
endowed professorships, we could have lost the heart and soul of our research faculty," said
Kaufman.
One of the appointees, Gerald Tindal, agreed. "I had a couple offers this year that were very
attractive," said Tindal, a professor of educational leadership and a nationally known expert
on the use of large-scale testing to support student learning. "This endowed professorship
made my salary here competitive." Tindal's professorship was funded with a gift from James
and Charlotte McIntosh and the Harold K. L. Castle Foundation that matched an earlier
challenge gift from Phil and Penny Knight.
"Having the college appoint five endowed professors brings not just the individual faculty
members but the entire college into a state of recognition on a par with what we do," said
Tindal. "It was wonderful."

Campus Briefs
Senior Wins Marshall Scholarship
< Aletta Sue Brenner is the first University of
Oregon student to earn a Marshall Scholarship.
A University of Oregon student with a deep interest in human rights has been awarded a
prestigious Marshall Scholarship from the British government.
Alletta Sue Brenner, 21, a senior enrolled in the Robert D. Clark Honors College, plans to
pursue degrees in international politics and African studies at the University of Edinburgh.
She is interested in how non-governmental organizations can influence the development and
spread of human rights in principle and practice.
Only 40 British Marshall Scholarships are awarded each year to students throughout the
United States. The scholarship was created by the United Kingdom to honor the American
general and statesman, George Marshall, for his vision of post-World War II recovery
through the Marshall Plan. The purpose of the scholarship is to foster U.S.-British
relationships by supporting outstanding American students as they pursue advanced degrees
in the United Kingdom.
"The Marshall Scholarship is one of the two most distinctive honors for study abroad that
can be won by any American student," said Dave Frohnmayer, university president. "Alletta
is an exceptionally gifted and hard working student who entered the University of Oregon
with great promise and has excelled in her studies. She has brought great honor to the
academic program of the university."
Born and raised in Forest Grove, Brenner developed an early interest in issues of social

"Eventually, I'd like to help establish an international standard for labor around the world,"
said Brenner, " particularly in countries that join in trade agreements, such as the North
American Free Trade Agreement and the Central American Free Trade Agreement because
we need to establish a level playing field for all workers."
Brenner is majoring in history and women's and gender studies, with a minor in political
science. She plans at some point to enroll in law school where she will focus on human
rights issues and international law. She is the first student from the university to win a

Carbon-rich Molecules 'Supersized' for the First Time
A University of Oregon chemist has "supersized" carbon-rich molecules, enabling researchers
for the first time to test theories about the useful properties of synthetic forms of carbon.
The discovery by Mike Haley, professor of chemistry, will be published as the cover story in
the Dec. 9 edition of the Journal of Organic Chemistry (JOC).
Scientists have long predicted that unnatural forms of carbon could have many
technologically useful properties, much like those found for the natural phases of carbon,
which are graphite and diamond. Haley's research seeks to prove those predictions are true
and to do so, the new carbon materials must be of sufficient size to observe their properties.
"'Supersizing' fragments of unnatural carbon has enormous implications for determining
future applications because certain properties can only be realized at much larger
dimensions," said Haley. At a diameter of five to six nanometers (a nanometer is a billionth
of a meter) the new disk-shaped molecules are more than twice the size of the one-to-two
nanometer pieces previously developed by Haley's team. For instance, Haley explained that
molecules of polystyrene used for Styrofoam cups are rigid because of their large size. At
much smaller molecule sizes, however, the same material is a viscous liquid. "Size is
important," he said.
Haley and doctoral student Jeremiah Marsden were able to produce several different
supersized molecules by using acetylene subunits to link benzene anchors to form the giant
networks. The expanded molecules have a high density of pi-electrons that are extremely
useful for electronics and optics. Haley said the most promising application for the new
material is in optical electronics and, specifically, switches used in telecommunications.
Haley's group is collaborating with researchers at the University of Michigan to test the
strength, reliability, and durability of the new material.
Haley is a member of the university's Materials Science Institute. His research was funded
by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
Museum Presents Van Gogh, Cross Paintings and a Holiday Sale
Visitors to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art can view two paintings from Vincent Van
Gogh and Henri Edmund Cross through June 2006. Both paintings are exhibited in the
museum's European Gallery.
"We are thrilled to present the public with the rare opportunity to view these two
masterpieces," said David Turner, museum director. "Bringing such artworks to Eugene is
just one of the ways we can thank the community for helping to build the new museum,
which can now accommodate such treasures through loans from museums and collectors
around the world."
Van Gogh's "Femme Dans Un Jardin" (A Woman Walking in the Garden), 1887, and Cross'
"Un Pin" (A Pine), 1905, both represent the post-Impressionist style of "pointillism."
Pointillism is a form of painting in which tiny dots or "points" of primary colors are used to
generate secondary colors. The points compose forms that are visible to the viewer only
from a distance where the eye blends the points to create forms or objects.
Andrew Shulz, associate professor of art history, will present a special lecture on the two

paintings at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 25. The lecture is free and open to the public.
The museum's store also offers a holiday sale on an array of ornaments, books, posters,
note cards, toys and home décor through Sunday, Dec. 11. Shoppers in the museum's store
can receive 10 percent off their total purchases by visiting the website to print a coupon for

Holiday hours: the museum will remain open for regular hours during the winter break
from Dec. 12 to Jan. 8, with the exception of Dec. 23-27 and Jan. 1-3 when the museum will
be closed in observance of the winter holidays.
During the winter break, the Marché Musuem Café and museum store will only be open

Music Building to be Named for MarAbel
Frohnmayer
University of Oregon music building to be named for
MarAbel Frohnmayer
EUGENE, ORE. - (July 11, 2005) - The building
housing the University of Oregon School of Music will
be named for the late MarAbel Frohnmayer, a 1931
university music graduate, longtime arts supporter, and
mother of University of Oregon President Dave
Frohnmayer.
Donor Lorry Lokey, who has given $2 million for a $15.2-
million expansion and renovation of the music building,
suggested the new name. Lokey, who is CEO of
Business Wire news service, headquartered in San
Francisco previously donated $2 million for the project,
bringing his total giving to $4 million for the music
building project.
The new building name, Lokey's most recent $2-million
gift, and an additional $4.5-million gift from Lokey to
help create The University of Oregon School of
Journalism and Communication George S. Turnbull
Portland Center were all announced Monday.
Lokey said he suggested naming the music building
after MarAbel Frohnmayer because she is well known
in Oregon for her extensive public service and because
"she loved and supported music and the music school."
"My siblings and I are all extremely moved by Lorry's
generous and thoughtful gesture in suggesting that the
music building be named after our mother," said Dave
Frohnmayer. "She was a proud graduate of the UO
School of Music and would be gratified beyond
measure to know that it carries on her legacy not only in
spirit but in name."
The renovation of the music building, expected to begin
in August 2006 and be completed by the fall of 2008,
will increase space by 50 percent to better
accommodate the 500 music majors and 4,000 nonmusic
majors now using a building designed for 300.
The renovation will nearly double the number of student
practice rooms; provide new acoustically isolated

teaching studios; add new classrooms, offices, and
space for student music group rehearsals and
instrument storage; create a new entrance on East 18th
Avenue; and improve the historic courtyard and outdoor
stage, just to mention a few of the improvements.
MarAbel Frohnmayer, infused the lives of her family and
her community with music. According to her family, she
played the piano almost every day of her life,
accompanied sing-alongs for family and friends,
encouraged all four of her children to sing and play
instruments and founded or supported nearly every
music and arts organization in the Rogue Valley for 70
years.
Dave Frohnmayer is the second child and oldest son of
MarAbel and her husband, the late Otto Frohnmayer, a
longtime Medford attorney who graduated from the
university in 1929 and received his law degree in 1933.
Two of MarAbel and Otto's four children obtained
degrees from the UO music school and are professional
musicians. Mira Frohnmayer received her
undergraduate degree in music in 1960 and went on to
get a master's degree from the New England
Conservatory of Music. She recently moved to Yachats,
Ore., after retiring as a professor of music and vocal
department chair at Pacific Lutheran University in
Tacoma, Wash., a position she held for 25 years. Philip
Frohnmayer returned to Oregon to get his master's
degree in music in 1972 after graduating from Harvard
University. He is a professor of music and vocal
department chair at Loyola University in New Orleans.
Although Dave and John Frohnmayer are lawyers-
John received law degree from the University of Oregon
in 1972-they are also amateur musicians and great
appreciators of music and the arts. John, who now lives
in Corvallis, is an affiliate professor of liberal arts at
Oregon State University who formerly worked as an
attorney in Eugene and Portland, Ore. and Bozeman,
Mont. He also served as chairman of the National
Endowment of the Arts from 1989-1992.
"I'm just overwhelmed-this was such a generous thing
that Mr. Lokey did," said Mira Frohnmayer. "Music has
been mother's legacy for the whole family. Her piano
skills were quite exceptional. She had perfect pitch so
could play a lot of songs by ear. We often had evening
sing-alongs. She would play and we would all sing,
especially if we had friends over."
"Mr. Lokey's generosity is breathtaking really," said
John Frohnmayer. If his mother were still alive, he
added, "she would be terribly modest about it but she
would be thrilled."
"Music was really the theme of her life, the recurring
theme that held all her activities together and, in a
certain way, the glue that held the family together," said
Phil Frohnmayer.
http://giving.uoregon.edu/z/newsitem1.php (2 of 3)12/2/2005 6:09:06 AM
Campaign Oregon - University of Oregon
"Thanks to Lorry and the other generous donors to the
project, our school will become a place of improved
collaboration and interaction, providing limitless
opportunities for students to learn and create," said
Brad Foley, dean of the School of Music and Dance.
"We are excited that the project is moving forward
rapidly and is approximately two years ahead of the
projected schedule established when I arrived in
September 2002,'' said Foley. "as the funding is not
complete, we are raising additional funds to cover
inflation and to ensure that the building achieves its
maximum potential."
The university has commitments from private donors to
match the $7.6 million provided by the state of Oregon.
Lokey's $4.5-million gift to the University of Oregon
School of Journalism and Communication and an
earlier anonymous gift of the same amount from
another donor will enable the journalism school to open
the University of Oregon Journalism and
Communication George S. Turnbull Portland Center in
fall 2005. The school plans to offer degree programs by
fall 2006. A faculty committee is reviewing program
options, including a master's program in management
communications for working professionals and a "senior
experience" that would combine senior-level
coursework with internships in public relations for the
school's undergraduate and professional master's
programs.
All of Lokey's gifts contribute to Campaign Oregon:
Transforming Lives, the University of Oregon's $600-
million fundraising initiative, which has raised, to date,
about $360 million.

Farwest Steel gives $1 million to Jordan Schnitzer
Museum of Art
Eugene-based company supports Korean art
exhibitions and programming
EUGENE, Ore.-Farwest Steel has made a $1 million
gift to support Korean art at the University of Oregon's
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
The gift results from a strong commitment by company
co-owners Wan Koo Huh and Dick Jones to give back
to their communities to enhance cultural and
educational opportunities.
"Farwest Steel was motivated to make this gift by a
strong desire to contribute to the advancement of the
University of Oregon by supporting the Jordan
Schnitzer Museum of Art," says Jack Clark, president
and CEO of Farwest Steel. "We are thrilled to support
an organization that is an important resource for both
the university and the community and that enhances the
lives of those who live in or visit this area."
Farwest Steel's gift enables the company not only to
support its home community but also to honor the Huh
family's Korean heritage. Based in Seoul, Korea, the
Huh family has many longstanding business and social
ties to the Eugene area and considers it their second
home.
The gift will support increased programming,
exhibitions, publications and student internships relating
to Korean art.
"Farwest Steel's support will enable us to install
interesting and innovative exhibitions on a regular basis
that will be a distinctive part of the museum's identity,"
says Charles Lachman, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum
of Art's curator of Asian art. "This gift also will establish
student internships that will provide first-hand
opportunities for students to work with objects in the
collection and gain experience planning and installing
exhibitions."
The funds will allow the museum to bring prominent
artists and scholars of Korean art to the museum for a

series of annual lectures. Farwest Steel's gift also will
support a series of publications highlighting works from
the museum's collection.
"This generous contribution will enable us to build upon
the strength of our Korean collection and fulfill our
mission to bridge international cultures," says museum
director David Turner. "Continued growth of our Korean
collection and programming will provide visitors with an
opportunity to deepen their understanding and
appreciation for the unique art and culture of Korea."
Farwest Steel's gift is a contribution to Campaign
Oregon: Transforming Lives, the University of Oregon's
$600 million fund-raising initiative.
In 2002, the family of Wan Koo Huh and his wife, Young
Ja, gave a major gift to the university's art museum to
establish a wing for Korean art in the couple's honor.
The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art's Huh Wing and
Jin Joo Gallery are the only university museum galleries
in the United States specifically designated to exhibit
Korean art.
Two well-known Korean art scholars, Kumja Paik Kim,
curator of Korean art at the San Francisco Asian Art
Museum, and Yoon Se Young, director of the Korea
University Museum, have praised the strength of the
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art's growing collection of
Korean art.
The museum's collection includes examples of many
different media including painting, ceramics, metalwork
and textiles. Objects include items from the first century
to contemporary artworks.
Established in 1956, Eugene-based Farwest Steel has
become one of the largest steel service centers on the
West Coast. With nine locations in the Northwest and
more than 400 employees, the company specializes in
the distribution of carbon steel products and the
fabrication of reinforcing steel.
The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art reopened in
January 2005 after completion of a major renovation
and expansion project that nearly doubled the size of
the building. The Huh Wing and Jin Joo Gallery were
introduced upon reopening and currently feature "True
Views: Traditions of Korean Painting." The exhibition,
funded by a grant from the Korea Foundation, includes
the 19th century screen "Scholar's Accouterments,"
recently given to the museum by the Huh family.

Museum of Art, contact Katie Sproles, public relations
and marketing coordinator, at (541) 346-0942.

scholarships--$2 million for Presidential and Dean's
Scholarships and $2 million for scholarships in the
School of Journalism and Communication--and $1.5
million for unrestricted use to support the university.
The $15-million gift and an additional $1-million
donation announced Saturday night pushed the total to
$316 million raised so far toward the $600 million goal
for Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives, Frohnmayer
told a sellout crowd of more than 1,000 who attended
the launch party at the Moshofsky Sports Center on
campus.
"Our donors share a vision--that this great public
research university at the western edge of the country
be recognized as one of the finest institutions of higher
learning in the nation--and they are making it happen,"
said Frohnmayer. "Gifts to Campaign Oregon are our
springboard to excellence. We are profoundly grateful
to the generous individuals who have decided to invest
in the university and transform lives."
The $15-million gift is the third largest academic gift in
UO history. The largest was Phil and Penny Knight's
$25-million contribution in 1996 for a new law school
building and endowed chairs. The second largest was a
$21-million gift in 2002 from Ron and Patricia Peterson
of Portland for the new Lillis Business Complex, student
scholarships and other programs.
"What a wonderful conclusion to an extraordinary
week," said Campaign Oregon Chair Randy Papé. "So
many people have brought us to this point, and now to
have this incredible gift push us well beyond the

Kulongoski share the stage Saturday.
Bryce Zabel '76, a Los Angeles-based writer
and producer who headed the Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences from 2001-3,
produced the gala, an unforgettable evening
of special guests, music, comedy and fine
dining.

Participants in the program included UO
alumnus Sam Elliott, who has starred in
such films as "Hulk," "We Were Soldiers,"
"The Contender," and "Tombstone," and
Tim Matheson, perhaps best known to the
UO community for his lead role in "Animal
House," filmed at the university 26 years
ago.
Hosting the fund-raiser was Zabel's friend,
film and TV star Fred Willard, a comedy
master who most recently starred in
"Anchorman" (with Will Ferrell) and in the
Christopher Guest-directed spoofs "A
Mighty Wind" and "Best in Show" (both with
Michael McKean, Catherine O'Hara,
Eugene Levy, and others).
Zabel is a native Oregonian and a familiar
face in Eugene, having worked at KVAL-TV
as an anchor and reporter for nearly four
years after graduation. He moved to Los
Angeles to become the first hard news
correspondent for CNN when it launched in
1980.

halfway mark and into the campaign's public phase is
so inspiring."
The portion of the gift going to the School of Journalism
and Communication--a total of $6.5 million--is the
largest in that school's history.
"This is truly a transformative gift," said Tim Gleason,
Edwin L. Artzt Dean of the school. "It will make us even
more competitive in recruiting the best students and will
enable us to offer exciting new opportunities for
students in the biggest market in the state. We couldn't
be more grateful to the donor for this wonderful vote of
confidence."
The anonymous gift helps fulfill two of Campaign
Oregon's top priorities: raising $100 million for
scholarships to boost student access and doubling
endowed faculty positions from 75 to 150 to help recruit
and retain top faculty members. Including this new gift,
the campaign has raised more than $40 million for
scholarships.
The two Presidential Chairs, funded at $2.5 million
each, will be different from typical endowed chairs in
that they will provide twice as much annual funding and
won't be attached to particular UO schools or programs.
The chairs will be assigned by the President's Office
(and reassigned when vacated) to strengthen
strategically important programs and hire "'franchise
players' on the academic side," Frohnmayer said.
"The Presidential Chairs will make it possible for us to
capitalize quickly on extraordinary opportunities for
growth in the depth and breadth of our academic
programs and the distinction of our faculty,"
Frohnmayer said.
The journalism program in Portland will focus initially on
developing a master's degree program in public
relations and an internship program for students in all
specialty areas offered by the school. The school hopes
to start offering Portland courses as early as this fall,
the dean said.
The Portland opportunities and the additional
scholarship funds "will raise our national profile and will
allow us to partner with Portland communications
organizations in ways that will benefit both the industry
and our students," said Gleason.
Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives started in
January 2001 and is expected to run through 2008. The
campaign focuses on four cornerstones: opportunity,
inspiration, discovery and connection.

Music Building to be Named for MarAbel
Frohnmayer
EUGENE, ORE. - (July 11, 2005) - The building
housing the University of Oregon School of Music will
be named for the late MarAbel Frohnmayer, a 1931
university music graduate, longtime arts supporter,
and mother of University of Oregon President Dave
Frohnmayer.
Donor Lorry Lokey, who has given $2 million for a
$15.2-million expansion and renovation of the music
building, suggested the new name. Lokey, who is
CEO of Business Wire news service, headquartered
in San Francisco previously donated $2 million for
the project, bringing his total giving to $4 million for
the music building project.
The new building name, Lokey's most recent $2-
million gift, and an additional $4.5-million gift from
Lokey to help create The University of Oregon
School of Journalism and Communication George S.
Turnbull Portland Center were all announced Monday.
Lokey said he suggested naming the music building
after MarAbel Frohnmayer because she is well
known in Oregon for her extensive public service and
because "she loved and supported music and the
music school."
"My siblings and I are all extremely moved by Lorry's
generous and thoughtful gesture in suggesting that
the music building be named after our mother," said
Dave Frohnmayer. "She was a proud graduate of the
UO School of Music and would be gratified beyond
measure to know that it carries on her legacy not only
in spirit but in name."
The renovation of the music building, expected to
begin in August 2006 and be completed by the fall of
2008, will increase space by 50 percent to better
accommodate the 500 music majors and 4,000 non-

music majors now using a building designed for 300.
The renovation will nearly double the number of
student practice rooms; provide new acoustically
isolated teaching studios; add new classrooms,
offices, and space for student music group
rehearsals and instrument storage; create a new
entrance on East 18th Avenue; and improve the
historic courtyard and outdoor stage, just to mention
a few of the improvements.
MarAbel Frohnmayer, infused the lives of her family
and her community with music. According to her
family, she played the piano almost every day of her
life, accompanied sing-alongs for family and friends,
encouraged all four of her children to sing and play
instruments and founded or supported nearly every
music and arts organization in the Rogue Valley for
70 years.
Dave Frohnmayer is the second child and oldest son
of MarAbel and her husband, the late Otto
Frohnmayer, a longtime Medford attorney who
graduated from the university in 1929 and received
his law degree in 1933.
Two of MarAbel and Otto's four children obtained
degrees from the UO music school and are
professional musicians. Mira Frohnmayer received
her undergraduate degree in music in 1960 and went
on to get a master's degree from the New England
Conservatory of Music. She recently moved to
Yachats, Ore., after retiring as a professor of music
and vocal department chair at Pacific Lutheran
University in Tacoma, Wash., a position she held for
25 years. Philip Frohnmayer returned to Oregon to
get his master's degree in music in 1972 after
graduating from Harvard University. He is a professor
of music and vocal department chair at Loyola
University in New Orleans.
Although Dave and John Frohnmayer are lawyers-
John received law degree from the University of
Oregon in 1972-they are also amateur musicians
and great appreciators of music and the arts. John,
who now lives in Corvallis, is an affiliate professor of
liberal arts at Oregon State University who formerly
worked as an attorney in Eugene and Portland, Ore.
and Bozeman, Mont. He also served as chairman of
the National Endowment of the Arts from 1989-1992.
"I'm just overwhelmed-this was such a generous
thing that Mr. Lokey did," said Mira Frohnmayer.
"Music has been mother's legacy for the whole
family. Her piano skills were quite exceptional. She
had perfect pitch so could play a lot of songs by ear.
http://giving.uoregon.edu/z/news_july.php (2 of 4)12/2/2005 6:12:02 AM
Campaign Oregon - University of Oregon
We often had evening sing-alongs. She would play
and we would all sing, especially if we had friends
over."
"Mr. Lokey's generosity is breathtaking really," said
John Frohnmayer. If his mother were still alive, he
added, "she would be terribly modest about it but she
would be thrilled."
"Music was really the theme of her life, the recurring
theme that held all her activities together and, in a
certain way, the glue that held the family together,"
said Phil Frohnmayer.
"Thanks to Lorry and the other generous donors to
the project, our school will become a place of
improved collaboration and interaction, providing
limitless opportunities for students to learn and
create," said Brad Foley, dean of the School of Music
and Dance.
"We are excited that the project is moving forward
rapidly and is approximately two years ahead of the
projected schedule established when I arrived in
September 2002,'' said Foley. "as the funding is not
complete, we are raising additional funds to cover
inflation and to ensure that the building achieves its
maximum potential."
The university has commitments from private donors
to match the $7.6 million provided by the state of
Oregon.
Lokey's $4.5-million gift to the University of Oregon
School of Journalism and Communication and an
earlier anonymous gift of the same amount from
another donor will enable the journalism school to
open the University of Oregon Journalism and
Communication George S. Turnbull Portland Center
in fall 2005. The school plans to offer degree
programs by fall 2006. A faculty committee is
reviewing program options, including a master's
program in management communications for working
professionals and a "senior experience" that would
combine senior-level coursework with internships in
public relations for the school's undergraduate and
professional master's programs.
All of Lokey's gifts contribute to Campaign Oregon:
Transforming Lives, the University of Oregon's $600-
million fundraising initiative, which has raised, to
date, about $360 million.

Farwest Steel gives $1 million to Jordan
Schnitzer Museum of Art
Eugene-based company supports Korean art
exhibitions and programming
EUGENE, Ore.-Farwest Steel has made a $1
million gift to support Korean art at the University of
Oregon's Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
The gift results from a strong commitment by
company co-owners Wan Koo Huh and Dick Jones to
give back to their communities to enhance cultural
and educational opportunities.
"Farwest Steel was motivated to make this gift by a
strong desire to contribute to the advancement of the
University of Oregon by supporting the Jordan
Schnitzer Museum of Art," says Jack Clark, president
and CEO of Farwest Steel. "We are thrilled to support
an organization that is an important resource for both
the university and the community and that enhances
the lives of those who live in or visit this area."
Farwest Steel's gift enables the company not only to
support its home community but also to honor the
Huh family's Korean heritage. Based in Seoul, Korea,
the Huh family has many longstanding business and
social ties to the Eugene area and considers it their
second home.
The gift will support increased programming,
exhibitions, publications and student internships
relating to Korean art.
"Farwest Steel's support will enable us to install
interesting and innovative exhibitions on a regular
basis that will be a distinctive part of the museum's
identity," says Charles Lachman, the Jordan
Schnitzer Museum of Art's curator of Asian art. "This
gift also will establish student internships that will
provide first-hand opportunities for students to work

with objects in the collection and gain experience
planning and installing exhibitions."
The funds will allow the museum to bring prominent
artists and scholars of Korean art to the museum for
a series of annual lectures. Farwest Steel's gift also
will support a series of publications highlighting works
from the museum's collection.
"This generous contribution will enable us to build
upon the strength of our Korean collection and fulfill
our mission to bridge international cultures," says
museum director David Turner. "Continued growth of
our Korean collection and programming will provide
visitors with an opportunity to deepen their
understanding and appreciation for the unique art
and culture of Korea."
Farwest Steel's gift is a contribution to Campaign
Oregon: Transforming Lives, the University of
Oregon's $600 million fund-raising initiative.
In 2002, the family of Wan Koo Huh and his wife,
Young Ja, gave a major gift to the university's art
museum to establish a wing for Korean art in the
couple's honor. The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of
Art's Huh Wing and Jin Joo Gallery are the only
university museum galleries in the United States
specifically designated to exhibit Korean art.
Two well-known Korean art scholars, Kumja Paik
Kim, curator of Korean art at the San Francisco Asian
Art Museum, and Yoon Se Young, director of the
Korea University Museum, have praised the strength
of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art's growing
collection of Korean art.
The museum's collection includes examples of many
different media including painting, ceramics,
metalwork and textiles. Objects include items from
the first century to contemporary artworks.
Established in 1956, Eugene-based Farwest Steel
has become one of the largest steel service centers
on the West Coast. With nine locations in the
Northwest and more than 400 employees, the
company specializes in the distribution of carbon
steel products and the fabrication of reinforcing steel.
The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art reopened in
January 2005 after completion of a major renovation
and expansion project that nearly doubled the size of
the building. The Huh Wing and Jin Joo Gallery were
introduced upon reopening and currently feature

exhibition, funded by a grant from the Korea
Foundation, includes the 19th century screen

museum by the Huh family.

Washington family gives $1.5 million to UO
Powells fund faculty support in business and new
Hayward Field plaza entrance
EUGENE, Ore.-The owners of one of the Northwest's
top property development firms credit their success in
part to what they learned in business courses and
competitive sports at the University of Oregon. So
much so, in fact, that Lloyd Powell, his son Peter and
Peter's wife Molly joined in gifts totaling a combined
$1.5 million for Hayward Field improvements and
faculty support in the university's Charles H.
Lundquist College of Business.
"The University of Oregon set us on our way to a
path that made us very successful and we wanted to
do something in return," says Peter Powell, president
of Kirkland, Wash.-based Powell Development Co.,
an outgrowth of the business his father started in the
early 1970s.
Lloyd Powell, a 1955 graduate in business
administration, and his wife Sharon, of Kirkland,
contributed $500,000 toward the recently completed
plaza entryway at the northeast corner of the
university's storied Hayward Field.
Peter and Molly Powell, of Bellevue, Wash., who both
earned degrees in real estate in 1978, matched the
elder Powells with $500,000 for the plaza project and
gave an additional $500,000 toward an endowment
to help the university's Lundquist College of Business
recruit and retain top professors.
The family of the late Bill Bowerman, the university's
legendary track and field coach, also contributed
$250,000 to the plaza project, which cost a total of
$1.25 million and is funded entirely by the Powell and
Bowerman gifts.
"Without a football scholarship to the University of

Oregon, it would have been far more difficult for my
father to become the person he is and to afford to
send his children to college," Peter explains. "We
think education is one of the most deserving causes
because it works to the maximum benefit of society."
University President Dave Frohnmayer revealed the
identities of the people behind the Hayward Field
improvements-and announced the gift to the
business school-at a dedication ceremony today
(Friday, May 13) naming the plaza for the Powells.
The event coincided with the 50th reunion of the
Class of 1955.
"We are so grateful to the Powell and Bowerman
families for these wonderful gifts," Frohnmayer says.
"Both families exemplify what makes the University of
Oregon great-pursuit of excellence in both body and
mind, the highest standards of integrity in business,
and taking the lead to make a difference in the
community and the world."
In the era before construction of Autzen Stadium,
Lloyd Powell played halfback for both offense and
defense on Hayward Field under the late coach Len
Casanova and briefly ran track under Bill Bowerman.
Peter Powell was a member of the UO men's swim
team.
Both Peter and Lloyd Powell say they've been
concerned for years about the poorly marked
northeast entrance to Hayward Field, one of the
nation's best known and most beloved track-and-field
facilities.
"Hayward Field is a world-class facility. You can go
anywhere in the world and people know where it is,"
says Peter Powell, "but some of the entrances were a
little sad."
Lloyd Powell agrees. "This end of Hayward Field has
been an eyesore for 50 years. It's been nothing more
than a parking lot and a chain link fence."
The new Powell Plaza entryway establishes an
attractive public entrance to Hayward Field on the
northeast corner with newly landscaped and paved
open space; concrete walls framing a metal gateway
featuring the Hayward Field name; story panels and
plaques telling the history of Hayward Field and
achievements of Duck track and field athletes; and a
new terraced seating area.
Peter and Molly Powell say they directed half their

gift to the Lundquist College of Business because
they want to help the college recruit and retain top
faculty members.
The couple met in a finance class taught by a former
UO professor named Austin Jaffe. Both were inspired
by his teaching.
"He was instrumental in giving us an idea of what
leadership is all about and a vision of what it might be
like in the real world," says Molly Powell, who worked
as a real estate and investment banker in Portland
and as a municipal bond trader in Seattle.
Peter Powell says the couple was dismayed to learn
that Jaffe had left the university in 1981 to join the
business faculty at Penn State University.
"You just hate to see professors of that caliber getting
hired away," says Peter Powell.
"Having the right teachers in that environment is the
key to success not just for the students but for the
school," adds Molly Powell. "We have to be able to
compete with the big schools to retain great teachers
and attract new ones as well."
The Powell and Bowerman gifts are contributions to
Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives, the
university's $600-million fundraising initiative.
