Steve, so right!  There should be a   powerful Prefontaine statue near  Bowerman next to the Hayward  Field track, for his accomplishments there are legendary.   Of course I admit I'm partial, being also from  Marshfield High School where he first starred.
That said, I don't believe Dunn is the place to honor Pre.  For many obvious reasons-- that we have no campus buildings named for African-Americans, that it was our black students  who started things rolling here on reexamining our history-- the honor of the naming should go to a black person who has  made a significant t contribution to the UO community-- and there are a  number of excellent choices only the spiteful could oppose.
