U of O - It's a Wrap!

Celebrate the success of the most successful private fundraising campaign in state history! "It's a Wrap" features a rap (get it?) from Professor Al Stavitsky, footage from a 1929 silent movie filmed on campus, and -- of course -- Puddles the Duck.

Senator Ron Wyden J.D. '74, Congressman Peter DeFazio M.A. '77, and Governor Ted Kulongoski talk about the campaign and the UO.

Campaign Oregon: Transforming LIves garnered $853 million for buildings, teachers, and programs across the University of Oregon. That's more than any fund raising effort in our state's history.

Dedicated to Campaign Chair Randy Pape -- 1950-2008.

@malinao08 Phil Knight paid for the new arena, and he can do whatever he wants with his money. Oregon would have to be idiots to not accept it. So blame Phil
