| Abstract/Contents: | Describes a debate within the Bethel School Board in Eugene, Oregon regarding artificial and natural turf. States that "the city council placed a $27.5 million parks bond issue on the ballot. Five million dollars of that money might be used to install artificial turf fields at Willamette [Oregon] and a few middle schools in Eugene." Mentions that "with the natural turf, Willamette's football team is limited to about 10-15 games each season. A synthetic field would make year-round play possible." |
