But there are many things that still need to be completed. In an effort to improve school spirit and end the Friday night football double headers at Autzen stadium, which often finished close to midnight, the city passed a bond two years ago to fund the construction of the multi-purpose fields at the four Eugene area public high schools. The bond covered the cost of the actual fields and lights at Sheldon, North Eugene, Churchill and South.
Many different fundraisers are in currently in the works.
In return each of the school's would increase the number of companies vending machines on campus to 12. The district will make a decision regarding the proposed deal Jan. 10. Even with the extra money schools would receive from the soda contract they would still need to do further fundraising. Denker is sending out letters to alumni and parents of current students asking for donations. Also, a class can donate a specific amenity such as a concession stand or press box.
