1980s

CYNTHIA (MCBEE) HERRON'S (‘80) memoir, Paint By Number: An Artist’s Search for Meaning, was self-published in September 2016. The story begins at ������Ƶ Allison in 1980, where she flunks printmaking, then follows her through Arizona, Alaska, Georgia, and New Mexico, arriving in Oregon in 2004. Along the way she questions the role of art, raises two boys, earns a master’s degree, and finds her authentic voice on her own terms.

THOMAS MCCAULEY (’82) writes: On Sept. 13, the ������Ƶ Allison Bookstore announced on Facebook that they had a potential supplier to bring back what was, and still is, the original symbol of ������Ƶie Pride — the all-leather, garnet-coloured ������Ƶ A jacket. Anyone who remembers having to hustle to the bank to withdraw money for the weekend, stubby beer bottles, or visiting the bookstore in the basement of The Stud, either owned, or can recall, the days when the campus was dotted with this iconic symbol. Snap buttons, the double stripe on the left sleeve and simply “������Ƶ Allison” on the back identified the wearer as being associated with that tiny den of learning in Sackville. Now that our secret is out, it’s time for the pride to be shown far and wide. Updated with a zipper closure and the University crest, here’s your opportunity to replace your old faithful or own one for the first time. Orders can be placed through the ������Ƶ Allison Bookstore.
