Broken water line releases green dye into Millrace

Press release

At approximately 2 p.m. Monday, the University of Oregon's central power station was alerted to a failure of a temporary chilled water line supplying cooling to a nearby UO laboratory facility. When the line gave way, it released several hundred gallons of chemically treated chilled water into a utility tunnel. That water was pumped into the Millrace in accordance with the UO’s standard tunnel flood control process.

U of O Students Rally Against Pacifica Forum

Some University of Oregon students held a rally on campus Friday afternoon in opposition to the controversial Pacifica Forum.

When I got there around 2:30, there were about two dozen people with more arriving over the next half hour.

Co-organizer Cims Gillespie told me they want to send a message to Johnson Hall.  They're asking university administrators to make a statement to Pacifica Forum, expressing their intolerance of hate speech.

Gillespie went on to say, "The other thing we want to do is send a message to Pacifica Forum that we are students, this is our campus.  We're going to the administration building here very much making an appeal to authorities.

The students are marching from Johnson Hall to the Pacifica Forum.
