EARTHQUAKES IN EUGENE 4.2 STRIKES 9.0 COMING ➥ NOAH

M C G R AW

Many awoke on the morning of July 4 to a shaking from below. The 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck 11.8 miles east of Eugene.

But this is only a hint of the quake that may be coming.

Within the next 100 years, experts predict that a 9.0 earthquake will hit the Pacific Northwest, destroying buildings and bridges, disrupting plumbing and cutting electricity. Federal Emergency Management Agency estimates the damage in the U.S. will be $60 billion. Major cities including Eugene, Portland and Seattle will likely have no electricity or running water for several months. It will be one of the biggest natural disasters in U.S. history, and Eugene is not ready for it.

The Cascadia fault, the origin of the earthquake, runs from Canada down to Northern California, several miles west of the coast. Tension has been building along the fault since 1700, the last time the fault caused an earthquake. This means that the earthquake could happen at any time.

The Cascadia earthquake is estimated at 9.0 on the moment magnitude scale. This scale is logarithmic, meaning one step up on the scale is exponentially more powerful.

To put that into context, this earthquake will release over 1,000 times more energy than the recent Nepal earthquakes, which stayed around 7.8.

Building codes in the western U.S. did not begin to take major earthquakes into consideration until the 1970s, when seismic codes became standard. Many buildings The Emerald is published by Emerald Media Group, Inc., the independent nonprofit media company at the University of Oregon.

Formerly the Oregon Daily Emerald, the news organization was founded in 1900.

Straub Hall is one of the buildings on campus undergoing seismic upgrades.

built before that time are considered at risk of collapsing during the earthquake.

The University of Oregon has taken steps to minimize the impact of the earthquake on campus. Many buildings are under renovation to increase their stability. “The University of Oregon has been working on seismically upgrading buildings for several years,� said Krista Dillon, Assistant Director of University of Oregon Emergency Management and Continuity, in an email. Allen, Fenton, Anstedt and Peterson Halls have all undergone upgrades. Straub Hall is the most recent in the series of renovations, according to Dillon.

Straub Hall, built in 1928, has been undergoing construction since July 2013.

The project plan is to “implement seismic upgrades,� as well as to replace basic utilities because “current building systems — power, data, HVAC, plumbing, etc. — are woefully outdated and inefficient.� The seismic upgrades phase of the project accounts for $271,038.13 of the total $22,319,000 funds. $9 million of which come from within the university.

Researchers at UO are looking for another way to prepare for the earthquake by predicting it before it happens. Doug Toomey, a geology professor at UO, has been working with the state government to implement an earthquake early warning system. The system would give Eugene two minutes notice before the earthquake strikes. Portland will have three minutes,

and Seattle will have five.

Toomey leads the Cascadia Initiative, a four year, $30 million project funded by the National Science Foundation. It features a network of arrays detecting plate movement all across the Pacific Northwest. In June 2014, Toomey spoke to the U.S. House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources to ask for $670,000 for additional sensors. The project was approved and is in the governor’s budget.

Toomey believes awareness of the earthquake among government officials is increasing. “Both federal and state policy makers are keenly aware that we live in earthquake country and need to be prepared,� he said in an email.

UO will continue to prepare on campus.

UOEMC is working on a post-disaster recovery plan for campus in the next year or so, Dillon said.

A major factor in preventing damage and loss of life is public awareness. “Public awareness is a huge factor when it comes to earthquakes,� Dillon said. “The unique thing about a university related to awareness is that we have people coming from all over the country and all over the world who may be unaware of the earthquake risks in Oregon.�

UOEMC suggests keeping a supply of water, non-perishable foods and cash in your home in case of an earthquake. Dillon also suggested having a bicycle, because public transportation may not be operating and roads may be too damaged to drive.

PHIL KNIGHT STEPS DOWN ➡

K E N N Y J A C O B Y, @ K E N N Y J A C O B Y

Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike.

University of Oregon graduate and Nike cofounder Phil Knight announced on June 30 his plans to step down as chairman of the company in a press release.

Knight also announced he has started Swoosh, a limited liability company that would hold a majority of his Nike Class A Common Stock shares —roughly 15 percent of the company’s total shares.

“For me, Nike has always been more than just a company – it has been my life’s passion,” Knight said. “Over the years, I’ve spent a great deal of time considering how I might someday evolve my ownership and leadership of Nike.

Today, we have taken a number of important steps that will continue to promote Nike’s longterm growth.”

A board of directors established by Knight will determine how the shares are going to be used moving forward. Knight, 77, will hold two of the five votes assigned to the board to ensure his “long-term stability in the ownership and governance of the company.”

“Swoosh will itself have a governance structure that is designed to make thoughtful

EMERALD

M O N D AY, J U LY 6 , 2 0 1 5

and forward-looking decisions with respect to the ongoing voting and management of those shares,” Knight said. “I believe this structure will maintain Nike’s strong corporate governance, which has focused our management on serving the consumer and pursuing profitable, long-term growth.”

Nike said CEO Mark Parker, a former Nike shoe designer, will replace Knight as company chairman in 2016 on Knight’s recommendation.

Phil’s son, Travis Knight, a movie executive and former rapper, will join Nike’s board of directors.

“I have long felt a great responsibility to provide clarity and certainty for the long-term governance and leadership of Nike and for my ultimate transition as chairman,” Phil said. “I have worked closely with the Nike board in developing this plan and in identifying the most qualified person to serve as my successor in this role.”

Phil said Parker has been “an outstanding CEO for the past nine years.” “[Parker] has demonstrated time and again his love for this company and his clear vision for capturing the tremendous potential Nike has to innovate, inspire and drive growth,” Phil said. “For myself, I intend to continue to work with Nike and look forward to contributing to its future well after my chairmanship ends.”

Parker also issued a statement in the release: “Phil founded Nike to serve athletes,” Parker said. “That vision and inspiration continues to drive our success today around the world. I have been privileged to work with Phil for over 35 years, and Nike’s exceptional management team and I are committed to building on Phil’s vision to drive the next era of growth for Nike.”

Phil ran track for the Ducks under coach Bill Bowerman, with whom he co-founded Nike. A sports reporter for the Daily Emerald, he earned a journalism degree and graduated a brother of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

Phil and his wife, Penny, have contributed more than $300 million to the university.

They funded the renovations of the Knight Library and Autzen Stadium, paid for the Jaqua Academic Center for student-athletes and 145,000 square-foot Hatfield-Dowlin Complex for the football team, and helped finance structures such as the William W. Knight Law Center and Matthew Knight Arena.

A DRAG THEN, LEGAL NOW ➥ EDER It’s finally legal to smoke and tell in the state of Oregon.

When the clock struck midnight on July 1, any fear of having to cough up $500 or $1,000 for carrying even an ounce of marijuana was lifted as the legalization clause of Measure 91 kicked in.

Social stigma surrounding the drug has slowly been evaporating since it was decriminalized in 1973. But it wasn’t always this way.

Forty-nine years ago, Annette Buchanan was drawn into a flurry of litigation and appeals after publishing a story where seven of her fellow University of Oregon students admit to toking up.

The 20 year-old Oregon Daily Emerald managing editor faced a subpoena by the Lane County District Attorney, a Grand Jury and finally a circuit court trial. She burned the notebook containing the names of her sources before she could be forced to give it up.

Buchanan’s story, titled “Students Condone Marijuana Use,� was published in The Oregon Daily Emerald in May 1966.

Buchanan, a junior who had just been appointed as the Emerald’s next managing

editor, published her article in response to an earlier Emerald story in which Dr. Herman Cohen condemned pot smokers, saying they would soon turn to harder drugs such as heroin and LSD. After coverage of Cohen’s talk published, seven students wrote in to The Emerald.

They said their hobby was mischaracterized as something more dangerous than it actually was.

Buchanan took their case and published their arguments. She knew the names of five of them.

Buchanan interviewed Bill, Joe, Sue, Ed and Bernard — pseudonyms for their protection — and got their perspectives on the drug. “Pot sensations are different from those of alcohol,� they told Buchanan. “There’s actually no comparison.�

William Frye, the Lane County district attorney at the time, took issue with these opinions.

By June 3, 1966, Frye had ordered a subpoena to force Buchanan into divulging her sources’ names.

Buchanan refused. And by June 13, Buchanan appeared in front of a Grand Jury.

CAMPUZANO, @EDERCAMPUZANO

During testimony published by theneditor Phil Semas, the district attorney and Emerald managing editor had a series of tense discussions. During one such hearing, Frye asked Buchanan what she knew about local marijuana laws. “I don’t think that applies here,� she responded.

The source of tension between Buchanan and Frye was complicated. Rumors circulated that his vehemence stemmed from the Emerald having endorsed his opponent for a congressional seat. Others said it was a knee-jerk response to a newspaper staff that was getting too big for its britches.

Mike Fancher joined the Emerald staff in September 1966, five months after Buchanan’s article published. Fancher said that faculty, administrators and even students were often split on the topics covered by reporters.

Emerald staffers wrote stories about student discontent during the Vietnam War. They penned editorials criticizing the UO’s registration system and tuition increases for graduate students. And they wrote about an evolving attitude toward drugs that made

waves across campus.

“We learned quickly what it was like to be on the firing line,” Fancher said.

Fancher was appointed editor in chief the year after Buchanan’s controversial article published.

According to him, Buchanan’s article received mixed reviews from UO faculty. Those differences of opinion were reflected in the courtroom.

As evidenced in news stories about the case and some of the questions Frye pitched during his inquiries, he and Buchanan approached their arguments with two distinct ideologies: To Frye, it was a matter of hunting down a group of kids who had broken federal drug laws.

Buchanan saw it as a matter of freedom of the press.

The Grand Jury found Buchanan guilty of contempt of court, which could result in a $300 fine and six months in jail.

She didn’t have to serve time, the jury decided, but had to pay the $300, which was covered by a fund set up by professional journalists who took an interest in her case.

According to an article published by the Emerald on Sept. 27, 1966, Buchanan “paled slightly” and “dropped her head to her hand” upon hearing the ruling.

Buchanan and her attorney appealed to the Oregon Supreme Court, which upheld the lower court’s ruling.

Kyo Ho Youm, the UO School of Journalism and Communication’s foremost authority on media law, is editing a book on the theory of shield laws — the kind of legislation that would have strengthened Buchanan’s case.

Although Buchanan’s case didn’t spur Oregon legislators into action immediately, Youm said the managing editor’s story is an important case study in the history of reporters’ protections.

“It was a very important case, especially before the Supreme Court of the United States

refused to recognize a journalist’s right to protect their source under the First Amendment,” he said. “It’s probably the first case of its kind.”

In 1973, the Oregon House of Representatives passed shield law legislature, which was later signed into law by Governor Tom McCall (Another UO alumnus and former Emerald reporter.)

The Oregon law allows reporters to refuse revealing their sources.

“The Oregon shield law is one of the most media-friendly laws in the United States,” Youm said.

“It’s very extraordinary.”

Youm said the most important people in solidifying better protection for journalists are advocates for freedom of the press, lawmakers and academics.

The federal case that Youm references is Branzburg v. Hayes, which bears striking similarities to Buchanan’s.

While the letter of the law had much to do with Buchanan’s defeat in the courts, attitudes toward marijuana use did just as much to get her in front of a judge to begin with. When Semas, the editor of the Emerald in 1966-1967, rallied his staff to pen an editorial calling for legalization, the move wasn’t exactly common or popular.

“It was very provocative at the moment to call for the drug to be legalized,” Fancher said.

“Faculty questioned the freedom of expression the newspaper had.

Everything felt like a lightning rod.”

Things have calmed down since then. Straight-laced kids in the ‘60s would make a beeline for the exit if they heard that a few of their peers were lighting up in the next room.

Buchanan died February 2013, one year before Oregon voters approved the use of recreational marijuana and two years before the law’s implementation. But her story — the words she penned and the aftermath — stand as major footnotes in the state’s path to two major pieces of legislation.

Annette Buchanan and her attorney, Arthur Johnson, approach the courthouse.

Fast facts Here’s a quick timeline of the events behind the Annette Buchanan case:

The story that started it all

The managing editor publishes a story about five students who smoke pot on May 24, 1966.

Judge orders $300 fine for contempt of court

Denies that the First Amendment grants reporters the right to keep sources confidential.

Supreme Court denies appeal, 1967

Buchanan’s appeal of the $300 fine is shut down by the Oregon Supreme Court.

House passes shield law, 1973

Gov. Tom McCall signs it into law.

Annette Buchanan dies at 67 in 2013

She was a copy editor for The Oregonian until 1997.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT CIVIC STADIUM

Many pedestrians saw smoke from a distance.

The boys will be charged with second degree arson.

Renovations will continue.

➥ B AY L E Y S A N D Y, @ B AY L E Y J S A N D Y ➥ J O S E P H H OY T, @ J OE J H OY T One of Eugene’s longest-standing historic landmarks went down in flames on June 29.

Civic Stadium was declared a total loss by the Eugene Springfield Fire Department after a small fire in the press box blossomed rapidly and engulfed the 76-year-old structure. It was later discovered that four boys, aged between 10 and 12, were responsible for the blaze.

Eugene Police Department officials announced July 2 that the four juveniles responsible will be charged by the Eugene district attorney with second degree arson.

Two of the four boys were arrested and lodged

by EPD on July 1 between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.

The other two boys haven’t been arrested.

EPD’s lead investigator on the case, Steve Williams, said. “We’re still working on that part,� he said. “Their introduction to the criminal justice system is designed to ensure that they have the greatest opportunity at a productive and constructive life ahead,� EPD Chief Pete Kerns said. “We hope and wish that’s exactly what happens to them.�

The four boys don’t have any previous criminal history.

The stadium, located on the corner of 20th Avenue and Willamette Street, was built in 1938

in the midst of the Great Depression. It was home to the Eugene Emeralds from 1969-2009.

When the team left the stadium, plans for the site ranged from proposals to build a new Fred Meyer to an extension of the YMCA. The Emeralds were playing against the TriCity Dust Devils the night of the fire. They won the game, 5-4.

General Manager Allan Benavides, who helped with the team’s transition to PK Park, was excited about the win. Then, he got phone calls telling him Civic Stadium was on fire.

Benavides is also a member of the Eugene Civic Alliance – a private non-profit group that helped buy the rights to Civic in hopes of renovating it. “We’re heart broken that this happened,� he said.

The team wore retro uniforms during a game against the Tri-City Dust Devils the day after the fire to commemorate their former home.

In April, the Eugene Civic Alliance raised $4.1 million to buy the stadium in hopes of renovating it for Kidsports and minor league soccer team, Lane United. “The thing is, that’s still going to happen,�

Benavides said. “It’s just turned into a new project.�

đ&#x;“Ł OPINION

FOR THE SUMMER ➥ MILA

L A S S U Y, @ M L A S S U Y

It was 1 a.m. on a Thursday night. Burned out from tedious summer homework, my friend and I realized that the only thing we really wanted was Uly’s. We reached the Uly’s corner and — to our despair — the cart was not there.

A few days later, this same friend and I got out of class at 4 p.m. and promptly decided we needed burgers. We headed toward Joe’s Burger food cart next to the EMU, and of course, it closed at 4:00 in the afternoon. I wish I could say these were isolated events this summer, but the lack of late-night tacos and earlyevening burgers is only one small part of a bigger issue: the university’s inaccessibility in the summer.

There are 9,355 students enrolled in at least one class this summer at the University of Oregon. That’s almost 40 percent of the academic school year population. In addition to current students, thousands of incoming freshmen are on campus for their orientation. Families and members of the public are on campus daily, on the memorial quad, in the library or in the gym. In spite of this, nearly everything on campus has reduced or non-existent accessibility to students.

Living in the dorms is still an option, but almost all of the on-campus dining is closed.

Dux Bistro and Carson Dining are open, but both are closed by 8 p.m. Carson Dining shuts down at 7:30 p.m., and is also closed during certain odd hours of the day.

Though this doesn’t affect everyone, it’s inconvenient for anyone who does eat on campus, and likes to have food in the evening. If you don’t care about the cuts of on-campus dining hours, there are plenty more hour reductions to get mad about: Summer classes are often packed with readings,

homework and the library. With its four stories of quiet, air-conditioned beauty, it should be the perfect place to spend those long homework-filled nights. The issue? It’s only open until 9 p.m.

Students are forced to head back to their humid apartments, sit themselves in front of a fan, try and tune out their loud upstairs neighbors and attempt to focus on the work they’re supposed to have done by the next day. I’m speaking from personal experience.

Sometimes those condensed summer classes (and non-air-conditioned nights) leave you wanting to go and burn off some stress. Or maybe the summertime sun has motivated you to get to the gym and check out the fancy new renovation.

Well, you could head over to the UO Student Recreation Center — but only until 8 p.m. For those of us that don’t like to get up hours before our first class starts to go workout, this presents a major problem.

Many students aren’t out of class until 4 p.m. or 6 p.m.

This hardly leaves any time to go home, change, maybe do a little homework and get to the gym with enough time for a workout, before it closes.

Places like the gym and the library are essential to all aspects of student life. Academic success, health and happiness depend on having places like these, as well as a diversity of dining options.

Even though there are less students on the campus, that doesn’t mean that we suddenly run on new schedules. There are still times when I want to go to the gym at 7:30 p.m. and stay for an hour or more.

I still want to work on my homework in the library until I’m done with it, not until I’m kicked out. The university has taken the absence of students to mean an absence of interest in campus facilities, which is simply untrue.
