NEWS ASUO PASSES RESOLUTION OPPOSING MEASURE 105

BY BRAD MOORE • TWITTER @BRADFORDM128 e Associated Students of the University of Oregon Senate passed a resolution in October opposing Measure 105, which would remove limits on the resources that state and local law enforcement agencies can use for finding and arresting people whose only suspected crime is violating federal immigration law. e resolution contends Measure 105 would violate an ASUO Senate resolution from Nov. 2017 that declared the University of Oregon to be a sanctuary campus. It also stated that the measure would instill fear in the thousands of international students and students of color at UO and therefore disrupt their learning environment.

UO students Yomaira Tarula and Hector Gonzalez brought the resolution to the Senate on behalf of M.E.Ch.A. — el Movimiento Estudiantil de Chicanos Aztlán — a student organization that “seeks to provide a feeling of community and security, while increasing the recruitment and retention of Oregon Chicanos in higher education,” according to its website.

Tarula said she knew M.E.Ch.A should do something to oppose Measure 105 and that the Senate’s sanctuary campus resolution provided an entryway for them to receive support from the university.

“I know that us young people really have the power to change a lot for our futures,” said Tarula.

“So I was really just trying to think and organize

how I can bring that power on campus since we have a huge population of young people that can vote.”

Tarula and Gonzalez first brought a draft of the resolution to ASUO senator Andrea Castillo, who was an intern for M.E.Ch.A last year and served as the Senate sponsor for the resolution. Castillo then worked with fellow senators Montse Mendez and Lupe Partida to prepare the resolution for presentation to the Senate, which unanimously passed it at their meeting on Oct. 24. “ e university Senate said that we are a sanctuary campus,” said Castillo. “So when it came to Measure 105, it was really important for students to be able to come to Senate to say, regardless of what happens, we need to know that you all don’t support taking away that sanctuary state law.”

M.E.Ch.A. invited about 30 UO students whose wellbeing is threatened by the passage of Measure 105 to the Senate meeting. Some of these students carried signs with messages, such as “Immigrants are America” and “No one is illegal. Everyone is equal,” and others spoke to the Senate about how the measure will affect them.

One student stated, “ is isn’t a political issue, this is a humanitarian one,” before describing how her father was arrested and forced to stay in an ICE detention office in Washington, even though he had his green card on him. Other students talked about the fear they would experience if Oregon were no longer a sanctuary state, with one student saying,

“We don’t want to remain silent, because silence is violence.”

Castillo said she wasn’t aware of the number of students M.E.Ch.A had invited to the meeting and that she was impressed by the large turnout.

“It was really amazing for me to be able to see how many people were willing to be vulnerable, even though they shouldn’t have had to put themselves in a vulnerable position,” she said.

In addition to the Senate’s approval, M.E.Ch.A’s resolution received endorsements from 21 other student groups at UO who represent various minority and international students.

Tarula said that she reached out to these students and student groups because she felt it was important to include other voices in the opposition to Measure 105. She also hoped that the resolution and the work of M.E.Ch.A would encourage more students to take an active role in opposing the measure.

“We’re really trying to empower students to be aware of the issue and do work around it — whether that’s phone banking, canvassing and voting especially,” said Tarula. “I just want to encourage students to really stay informed on issues that don’t directly affect you but affect the rest of the Oregon community. A lot of these ballot measures will affect vulnerable populations who are sometimes unable to vote, so if you have the privilege, use it.”

A NEWS An event to promote a new food insecurity program takes place on the EMU lawn on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2018 in Eugene, Ore. (Sarah Northrop)

BY EMILY MATLOCK • TWITTER @EMILYD_MATLOCK

FEED THE FLOCK TO FIGHT FOOD INSECURITY As tuition continues to increase at universities across the country, students may find themselves cutting back on essentials, such as food, to pay for college expenses.

Research from the Hope Center for College, Community and Justice, shows that nearly one in four college students is food insecure, meaning students have limited or uncertain access to nutritionally adequate food.

Recognizing that hunger hinders students’ abilities to focus and perform well academically, members of the University of Oregon have organized Feed the Flock, a task force that finds ways to alleviate that insecurity for students. After the homecoming parade last Friday, the team hosted a pep rally to promote the initiatives and collect food donations.

“When we have students who are food secure, we know that they will do better in school,” said Jill Creighton, assistant dean of students. “When you know where your next meal is coming from, when you know where you’re going to sleep at night — those things help our students to exceed in the classroom.”

Food security initiatives, which former ASUO President Amy Schenk spearheaded last year, have grown this year to include five programs. ese initiatives are a result of students, staff and faculty from departments all over campus allocating time and resources to the task force.

“Our main goal is alleviating food insecurity here on campus,” said Jade Menchaca, a senior at UO and food security program coordinator with the Student Sustainability Center. “But we’re also really trying to destigmatize feeling guilty or feeling PA G E 4

embarrassed about receiving this aide because a lot of students are in the exact same boat.” ere are a few new initiatives this year — Ducks Feeding Ducks, Produce Drops and the Ducks Food Cache — in addition to the older initiatives that are continuing to change and expand: the Student Food Pantry and support signing up for Oregon’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. e programs are funded largely by President Michael Schill, who contributed about $87,000, along with $20,000 in proceeds donated from ASUO’s Street Faire last year and a contribution of $15,000 from Vice President for Finance and Administration Jamie Moffitt. Additionally, people can donate money to Ducks Feeding Ducks or the student crisis fund. e new programs were funded as a one-year pilot, so to ensure that the programs can be funded again in the future, Feed the Flock must show that these programs are reaching students who need them most.

So far, the numbers are promising. At the first Produce Drop, held in October, 400 pounds of food was given away to roughly 80 people in 45 minutes.

About 70 people have signed up to beta test the Ducks Food Cache, and the EMU Card Office has received just under 200 applications for Ducks Feeding Ducks.

“When we heard the numbers, we were really surprised, but of course we are happy about how many students have used the system,” said Ivan Chen, the ASUO external vice president who is involved in the task force. “But we are also really sad about how many students actually need these resources.”

Ducks Feeding Ducks: Students who sign up online can receive $10 in their Duck Buck ID cards within an hour of filling out an application if approved. e funds can only be used at food venues on campus that accept Duck Bucks. e money stays in the account for seven days before being transferred back into the general fund, and students can apply up to three times per term.

Ducks Food Cache: ough the software is still in beta testing, Ducks Food Cache is an alert system that notifies students when a UO Catering event has leftover food. e system sends a text 15 minutes before the end of an event to students who have signed up. e Food Cache is set for a full-scale launch winter term.

Produce Drop: Organized in partnership by the SSC and Food for Lane County, students who self-identify as below 200 percent of the poverty level can fill a bag of fresh produce for free. ese drops happen at the EMU Amphitheater every second Tuesday of the month.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program:

Students can find help signing up for Oregon’s SNAP benefits at the SSC or Duck Nest. is year, the SSC plans to host more workshops to spread awareness and help more students access these resources.

Student Food Pantry: Located off campus on the corner of Emerald Alley and 19th Avenue, the food pantry allows any student with a valid student ID card to fill a grocery bag for free. It operates from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays and ursdays.

KARAOKE

M O N D AY, N O V E M B E R 5 , 2 0 1 8

Last month, University of Oregon graduate student Rachel Schwartzman won first place at a statewide karaoke competition in Salem, Oregon.

On Nov. 15, she will fly to Las Vegas to compete in the 2018 Karaoke World Tour Championships.

“It sounds so funny when you say it out loud,” Schwartzman said.

Before moving to Eugene a year ago, she had never considered competitive karaoke. During her years as an undergrad, she had always found a creative outlet through dance and a cappella groups, but after graduation, her opportunities became more limited.

“When I got here, karaoke was kind of my option,” Schwartzman said. She began to frequent various karaoke spots on the weekends, eventually finding a community of karaoke regulars. “I got to know the scene really well, and I probably took it more seriously than most people,” she said.

Initially, karaoke was just a way to express herself and push herself out of her comfort zone. But when the competition came around, she decided to give it a shot.

Schwartzman moved on to the state championship after winning a local event in Eugene. As part of a subsequent first place win in Salem, she received free vocal lessons to help prepare her for the upcoming performance in Las Vegas. Organizers of the competition will also be paying for Schwartzman’s airfare and hotel expenses.

“It’s Vegas, so by default that gives it an air of competitiveness, performance and glam,” Schwartzman said.

Having never competed at this level before, she is unsure of what to expect.

Singing ability, of course, is a necessary factor. But the criteria of a karaoke championship differ slightly from the average singing contest. Judges will be scoring based on outfits, emotional connectivity and stage presence. e song choice itself is also very significant.

“When I met with the vocal coach, songs that I

thought I would be able to sing just ended up not being competitive enough,” Schwartzman said. “ at’s one of the things that was stressing me out: trying to find songs that have a competitive edge.”

For her performance in Vegas, Schwartzman is preparing songs by Sam Smith, Chris Stapleton, X Ambassadors and Gnarls Barkley — all carefully selected for a competitive environment. “ e general strategy is showing range,” she said.

In more casual karaoke situations, Schwartzman loves to sing Motown; she considers “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” her personal anthem and also enjoys singing anything by e Temptations.

She hopes to channel some of that soulful energy into her performance.

But Schwartzman is also trying to stay realistic about her chances. “It would be cool to win, but just not knowing anything about the competition, it would be really hard to anticipate that,” she said. She expects over a hundred people will be present to compete at the event.

According to Schwartzman, there is a “spectrum of dedication” that exists among the contestants. “ e people that do karaoke are generally not trying to become the next Mariah Carey,” she says; however, some participants do craft elaborate performances with props, or compete to get their foot in the door for a future career in the music industry.

Schwartzman’s main goals for life lie outside of karaoke.

Her graduate work is in special education with a focus on museum programming for people with disabilities. She is also getting a certificate for non-profit management.

But she says karaoke remains a very worthwhile hobby. Both her parents and one of her friends are travelling to support her in Las Vegas.

“Everyone is really excited,” she said.

“When you are passionate about something, even if it’s just a hobby, it feels good to be rewarded or just to be acknowledged,” Schwartzman said.

‘SUSPIRIA’ PAINTS AN APOCALYPTIC PICTURE OF CURRENT POLITICS

BY ILANA SLAVI

is review includes spoilers. e art house horror film is back with a vengeance. “Suspiria” is the newest entry in 2018’s trend of artistic gore, from A24’s satanic “Hereditary” to the neo-noir slasher “Mandy.”

“Suspiria,” is a drastic cinematic shift for director Luca Guadagnino, best known for “Call Me By Your Name” and other subtle character studies.

Guadagnino’s “Suspiria” is more of an adaptation than a remake of the 1977 Italian “Suspiria,” directed by acclaimed horror auteur Dario Argento.

Guadagnino’s reimagining of “Suspiria” drastically contradicts the campy horror of the original. e new “Suspiria” is an hour longer and utilizes a om Yorke soundtrack rather than the former, melodramatic theme. It also disregards the neon aesthetic of the original film for dismal, grey and red coloring to emphasize the dilapidated setting of post-World War II Berlin. e plot remains the same: a young dancer from Ohio moves to post-war Berlin to join a prestigious dance company, haunted by a series of murders. e new “Suspiria” immediately informs the audience that the company is run by a coven of witches, rather than keeping this supernatural element under

wraps like the Italian cult classic. Greater, extremely convoluted, plot elements lie in Guadagnino’s epic.

Guadagnino’s “Supiria” is not for everyone. With six chapters and an epilogue, the film is overlong, non-linear and allegorical. e film uses it’s welldeveloped time period to diverge from a clear plot and meditate on the consequences of the Holocaust and World War II. ese ruminations feel particularly timely in the wake of the Pittsburgh shooting and the increases in hateful rhetoric and violence in the United States. e casting of Dakota Johnson as incoming dancer Suzy Bannion, known for blockbusters such as the “Fifty Shades” trilogy, could be seen as an attempt to lure mainstream audiences into the theatre to open their eyes to today’s tragedies. e film ends in current day Berlin, further connecting the consequences of the past to the results of the present. Although not all viewers will understand this political intention, most will relate to the overall feeling of disillusionment present in the film. e dreary post-war setting and genocidal death of most of the witches in “Suspiria” hints at an apocalyptic end, in that humans have ruined this

world and do not deserve to live.

Audiences clearly respond and relate to this “end of days” theme. e previously mentioned film “Mandy” uses a post-apocalyptic environment to analyze misogyny in religious communities that leads to the demise of all characters. is summer’s surprise hit “Hereditary” results in a ritual that brings one of the kings of Hell into the terrestrial plane. “Hereditary” was independent entertainment company A24’s highest grossing film, with a total domestic gross of over $44 million. e newest season of American Horror Story, titled “Apocalypse,” involves a coven of witches at the end of days. A television show that thrives on the literalization of society’s greatest fears, such as last year’s “Cult” saga, this increase in apocalyptic media is no coincidence.

“Suspiria” also raises awareness of sexism, as the coven exhibits justice to men who wrong women.

In one scene, the witches strip a policeman of his clothes and mock him. e women point at the genitalia with a curved weapon, inches away from slicing off his manhood and metaphorically depriving this man of his power over them.

If our elected leaders won’t enact stronger gun safety laws, then we’ll elect stronger leaders.

KEEPING THE SPIRIT

BY EMILY MATLOCK AND BRAEDON KWIECIEN

Armando Morales was raised by his grandmother after his mother died when he was young. Now he puts a photo of his grandmother, Petra, on the ofrenda at the JSMA every year. (Braedon Kwiecien)

As hundreds of people filed into the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art last weekend, they were met by a three-tier altar, called an “ofrenda,” covered in purple and orange “papel picado,” a paper banner with cut-out designs; ceramic “calaveras,” or skulls; and photos of loved ones. e celebration of life originated in Central and Southern Mexico and has spread throughout Latin America and into the United States. Its history spans millennia, but the basis is simple: Día de Muertos is a way to remember deceased family members and honor their lives through music, art, dance and food.

“Even though it’s about death, it doesn’t have to be sad,” said Daisy Elena, a University of Oregon student who helped organize the Día de Muertos celebration.

“It’s [also] a celebration of life.”

At the center of it all is Armando Morales, a UO alumnus who has organized and helped the community celebrate the holiday dear to his heart for the past 37 years.

Morales is from Guanajuato, Mexico, but in 1978 followed the love of his life to Eugene, where he has lived since. When he was a student at UO in 1981, he missed a piece of home — so he began what would become a fundamental tradition for the Eugene community: UO’s celebration of the Day of the Dead, which now draws crowds of around 2,000 people over two nights.

“In Mexico, it’s one of the most important events,” said Morales. “And now in the United States, Día de Muertos has been supplanted as one of the most important celebrations of our community.” e holiday has grown enough in the U.S. to have

its own Pixar film, “Coco,” break into pop culture. But Morales is weary of the movie. “‘Coco’ is more like a fantasy,” said Morales. “ ere are positive aspects of the movie, but it’s also dangerous because we will see it like something exotic, just to be consumed.”

One of his complaints about the film was that it portrays only one style of Día de Muertos, but across Mexico and around the world, the tradition varies. e event held at the JSMA is influenced by the culture of Morales’ Guanajuato.

He even has a photo of his grandmother on the ofrenda.

When Morales was born, his mother passed away; his grandmother, Petra, raised him. She taught him about the tradition — and helped him put a photo of his mother on the ofrenda every year to remember her.

“Ever since I was a kid, that’s what we did,” Morales said. It’s what makes the holiday especially meaningful for Morales, who also surrounds the ofrenda with photos of Mexican heroes such as César Chávez. e ofrenda also includes the photos of others’ relatives — some students from Oak Hill School and JSMA staff put photos of their family members who recently passed away. e rest of the ofrenda is filled with other forms of symbolism. Gods of the four elements are featured in the form of candles for the god of fire, a glass of water for the god of water, fruits and “camote,” or sweet potato, for the god of earth and the papel picado for the god of air. e ofrenda, and the holiday as a whole, retains traditions from pre-Hispanic Latin America, but it has also been influenced by the SpanishCatholic “conquistadores” who colonized much of Latin America.

Europe already had traditions surrounding death, including All Saint’s Day on Nov. 1 and All Souls’ day on Nov. 2. e indigenous people in Latin America had a celebration of the dead that took place around February and March, but when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century, the European date reigned. Still, many local traditions were preserved.

Morales said he believes in the indigenous traditions of death surrounding Día de Muertos — Aztec legends that describe the afterlife. As he tells it, those who die a natural death go to Mictl°n, the Aztec Land of the Dead.

But the journey is a difficult one.

Morales said it takes two years, and one must overcome incredible obstacles: a river of blood guarded by jaguars, a range of mountains that crash into one another and an open plain showered by obsidian knives.

Morales said the deceased are buried with a blanket meant to guard them from the knives and a jade shard to defend themselves against the jaguars. e papel picado hung around the ofrenda symbolizes the peaks of mountains to guide the deceased on their journey. e indigenous traditions weren’t kept to the ofrenda alone. e holiday also celebrates art and music as part of tradition. During the celebration at the JSMA, a group called “Identidad y Folclor,” or Identity and Culture, danced wearing traditional Mexican attire and “calavera,” or skull, face paint. e band, P’urhembe, played live music, highlighting indigenous traditions. e group is from Michoacán, Mexico, where the indigenous community Purépecha resides. e band is made up of members of the Bautista family, headed by vocalist Nana Rosita.

ALIVE

With two violins to play the melodies, an upright bass used as a string and percussion instrument to keep the tempo and two guitars to harmonize and fill in the sound, the band’s music lilted with smooth, cheerful movements, accented with quick, picado plucking that kept the songs upbeat.

And not all Spanish-speakers in the room would always have known the story being told. Some of the lyrics were in indigenous languages. “ is is music from a region of Mexico that has indigenous communities and the music is preHispanic,” said Fernando Franco-Soto, one of the band’s guitarists. “It has the language and certain rhythms and instrumentation.”

Franco-Soto is from an urban area of Michoacán and to some degree sees the music as an outsider, or at least understands the perspective. He likened the theme of Día de Muertos to a funeral — a time for mourning but also of celebration — and said that Purépecha culture walks the line, specifically with their music.

“Generally, a funeral is very solemn, and sure, people will cry at a funeral, but with the music, the music is generally upbeat. It’s also a way — as we say — to say goodbye happily to a parent, to a loved one,” FrancoSoto said.

Daisy Elena, a student in M.E.Ch.A. — el Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán — read a poem halfway through the performance to remember her aunt.

First written in English, then translated to Spanish, Elena’s poem was an authentic example of the beauty in Día de Muertos and how it offers a conversation between the living and the deceased. “ e idea of the celebration is that our loved ones are never gone,” said Elena.

Just like the tradition, as it survived Spanish colonization and worldwide migration, Elena said, so too do our ancestors live on, in spirit and in our hearts.

She concluded her poem, “‘Visitarme pronto por favor.

Te quiero,’ (I love you. Please visit me soon.), Daisy.” “ is is a really great way to keep someone’s spirit alive in a positive way — like what type of food did they like or what type of music did they like,” said Cheryl Hartup, JSMA curator of academic programs and Latin American art, “rather than pushing it to the back of your mind or trying to forget it.” Hartup works closely with Morales to bring artists and musicians to the museum.

Morales said he’s proud of the growth of the tradition, saying that the celebration has become a staple for the Eugene community. e celebration is a window into the beliefs and arts of a minority culture in Eugene and recognizes the values that we all share, regardless of race or origin.

“I celebrate because it’s part of my culture,” Morales said. “But what I see here is also a form of combating racism, a form of culture that we feel and that we share.”

In Spanish, the holiday is called “Día de Muertos,” not “Día de los Muertos,” as is commonly said in the U.S. Some believe this is a back translation, meaning that Día de Muertos translated to English is “Day of the Dead,” and translated back to Spanish would include the word “los” which means “the.”

Still, taking even an hour break can make all the difference when needing a little refresher. Here are some ideas of things to do this week that would provide the perfect study break amid the chaos.

Popularly known as EUCON, the Eugene Comic Con brings the best in comics and pop culture to beautiful Eugene, Oregon.

Takeoff recently released his first ever solo album titled “TAKEOFF – e Last Rocket.” (Creative Commons)

Takeoff is running with the success of both his uncle Quavo’s “Quavo Huncho” — one of his Migos counterparts — and Migos’ Culture II albums by releasing his first ever solo album, titled “TAKEOFF — e Last Rocket.” e freshman album contains the kind of lyricism that is often missing in a classic Migos album. Migos fans will recognize the heavy trap beats in the background, but the style of rapping will be a refreshing change from the repetition that is popularized in Migos songs like “Walk It Like I Talk It.” Features on “ e Last Rocket” are limited with the only credits going to Quavo on “She Gone Wink” and DAYYTONA FOX on “Infatuation.” is shows Takeoff’s confidence in his rap game and also his creative ability to make hits without a ton of big name features. Some of the highlights of the album are “She Gone Wink” and “Casper.” is album is worth adding to the playlist and spending some time to get familiar with Migos’s most underrated member.

OPINION

NIKE: JUST DON’T THINK ABOUT IT

BY SAMUEL ANTHONY “I just don’t get how you can support ideas like this,” a University of Oregon undergraduate said at a politically conservative event — and then marched off in her brand new Nike tennis shoes. e irony of the situation wasn’t lost on me.

Nike has been accused of producing the vast majority of its products using sweatshops, and that probably doesn’t come as much of a shock to any of us. Back in the ‘90s, students across the country, including at UO, rallied against Nike’s terrible working conditions overseas. is caused a huge problem at UO, as Phil Knight pulled $30 million from the Autzen stadium project. e pulled funds came in retaliation against school officials who supported the students’ protests by signing a Workers Rights Consortium agreement, which mandated better working conditions overseas. One year later, after heavy pressure from Phil Knight, the president of UO withdrew the university’s support from the WRC, and Uncle Phil’s funding came trickling back in.

Over time, people forgot or stopped caring, but the university, amid all of its talk of human rights and activism, showed its integrity would crumble to the power of the almighty dollar. Nike was once again on top of the world with little resistance from the mainstream media or its consumers.

Since the ‘90s, the standards overseas have gone up for things like safety and emissions, but wages have risen very little. According to the Portland Business Journal, Nike identified wages as one of the main issues they are facing overseas.

When they released their overseas corporate responsibility report, however, they left the wages table blank; I have a sneaking suspicion it’s not because they were shockingly high. Vietnam, one of Nike’s main manufacturers, has a minimum wage of about 73¢ an hour.

It’s not uncommon to see women’s rights, Black Lives Matter or immigration rights rallies on campus, with staunch supporters of equal human rights. But what are many of these activists wearing on their feet as they march? You guessed it: Nikes. e hypocrisy and irony of this situation is astounding. Even those fighting for human rights are actively supporting a company who has a

long history of accusations of human rights violations.

A huge part of the problem is that we just don’t think about it. We live in a society where we’re never conditioned to think about the impacts our purchases could have on others. In most people’s minds, the only negative impact to buying a pair of shoes is the $60 they spent on them. is problem is only furthered by a lack of exposure; we’re simply not around those affected by Nike’s human rights violations. In all honesty, if it doesn’t affect us or anyone we know, we usually don’t think about the moral implications or consequences of our consumerism.

Out of sight, out of mind.

What made me decide to never buy a Nike product again came in the form of a quote from omas Wheatley, a University of Wisconsin student who said, “It really is quite sick; 14-year-old girls are working 100-hour weeks and earning povertylevel wages to make my college T-shirts. at’s unconscionable.”

Let me ask you a question: How many of you could look a living, breathing 14-year-old girl straight

in the eyes and tell her that your new Vapormaxes or Jordans are more important than her getting a fair wage and not having to work in a sweatshop? My guess is not too many. If we can’t face those who are hurt by our decisions and own up to the impacts of our actions in good conscience, aren’t we doing something wrong?

More is expected when it comes to being a good human being than just being nice to those directly around us. While we’re going to college, partying and spending absurd amounts of money on shoes, clothes and video games, there are people our age around the world who were simply born in the wrong place and are forced to work 60-hour weeks to try to feed their little brothers and sisters. We have the power to change all of that and help those people, but we don’t.

It’s ridiculous that in today’s world, a university like the UO, which supposedly supports human rights, not only endorses a company like Nike but sells apparel that may have been made by people making below a living wage. With so much money involved, it would be naive to believe

that it will change on its own. e responsibility then falls to us, the consumers, to make a change. ere are plenty of alternatives that don’t use sweatshops, or that at least pay their employees a living wage.

Just a few minutes of research and a willingness to lose the Nike logo can turn supporting poor working conditions into something you can feel proud of buying.

Trust me, I get it; it’s hard to make a change from something you’ve become comfortable with after so long. But I also know that I want to look back at my life and be proud of the decisions I have made, rather than realizing I contributed to the things that I hate most about our world.

It’s not that we don’t know that these things are happening, because we do. But it’s also not a lack of empathy, as I think most of us really do care about people around the world. It’s that we’ve forgotten how to care about people or issues that don’t affect us, and in a world that constantly pushes us to ignore it, it’s hard to remember. We don’t know how to make a difference or where to start. So we “just keep doing it.”

OREGON OFFENSE THRIVES

WITH HEALTHY HERBERT AND MITCHELL IN UCLA WIN

BY SHAWN MEDOW • TWITTER @SHAWNMEDOW Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert and wide receiver Dillon Mitchell are on the same wavelength.

In the fourth quarter against UCLA, Herbert went deep to Mitchell, who broke away from the defense, but UCLA defensive back Stephan Blaylock came sprinting toward him. Mitchell put on the brakes and sent the defender past him, allowing the Oregon junior to ease his way into the end zone for a 67-yard touchdown.

“It’s something special,” Mitchell said of his relationship with Herbert. “It’s something you have to work on every time and it’s more than football. ...

[It’s] taking criticism from each other to get better and continue the special connection.”

On Saturday, it wasn’t noticeable that the two were under concussion protocol just days before. ings were back to normal in Oregon’s 42-21 win over Chip Kelly’s Bruins. e duo linked up eight times for 156 yards and two touchdowns to lift the Ducks to victory.

“It felt regular because they’ve been out there this whole time all season,” freshman safety Jevon Holland said.

Mitchell and Herbert have been vital to Oregon’s offense this season, with Mitchell being the main target for the Ducks’ junior quarterback.

Against Arizona, Mitchell only went for 69 yards on six catches and went down with a concussion.

During the week, Arizona defensive back Tristan Cooper, who injured Mitchell, said he was glad he did so.

“If I was him, I’d try hurt me too,” Mitchell said in response.

Mitchell said he was most upset with how Herbert

was criticized for the pass to him on the play in Tucson.

“Dillon’s a competitor, and I’m glad he’s got my back, and I’d never want to put him in a situation like that again,” Herbert said. “He’s a guy who stood up and proud to see he came back today.”

Against UCLA, Mitchell was lively. He got open down field to make big plays like his fourth-quarter score, and when he didn’t get loose, he managed to fight off tight defending from the Bruins to make tough catches.

“He’s always going to face man coverage, throw coverage, over-under, one on the top,” head coach Mario Cristobal said.

In one instance, Mitchell dove low to his left near the sideline to get to a pass just before the ball hit the turf.

Herbert used Brenden Schooler early on in the game but once Mitchell came into the game after the first several plays, the one-two punch of Oregon’s offense was back in business.

“I think this is still college football, and I think that college guys need to practice throughout the course of a week,” Cristobal said. “We just wanted to ease it back from an emotional standpoint.”

Ahead of the UCLA game this season, Mitchell had 677 receiving yards, leading the next best receiver — Jaylon Redd — by more than 400 yards. “ ey zero in on him,” Cristobal said. “ e combination of him knowing that and not being able to practice with us the entire week and still going out there and performing like that — tremendous credit to him as a competitor, to his teammates for supporting him, to Justin for finding him.”

Ducks wide receiver Dillon Mitchell (13) and quarterback Justin Herbert showed great teamwork on the field during Oregon’s game against UCLA on Saturday, Nov. 3 in Eugene, Ore., despite being under concussion protocol the week prior. (Ben Green)

Fall Career Fair Noon–4:00 p.m. | EMU Ballroom

Thursday, November 9

• Meet with a career advisor in the Career Center. It’s always good to have a sense of the skills and experiences you are looking to gain. A 30-minute conversation and perhaps a resume review can provide a great deal of clarity.

Fall Fair Interviews by invitation only EMU Ballroom

AT THE FAIR

career.uoregon.edu/events

What’s a career fair?

A career fair is an opportunity for college students and employers to connect in one place at one time. At the UO, these fairs take place each term in the EMU Ballroom, bringing 85 to 100 companies from a wide range of industries to campus. These companies are looking for candidates to fill internships, career jobs, and sometimes part-time jobs and volunteer positions. They are eager to talk with students and share their opportunities.

• First, take a deep breath. The fair can seem overwhelming at first.

• Chat with Career Center staff. They are ready and excited to answer any questions you may have and give you a quick pep talk.

• Spend the first 10–15 minutes just walking through the fair. It is perfectly okay if you do your first round without talking to anyone.

Once you’re comfortable, start making connections.

• Take action to reach the goal you set earlier. Perhaps you chose to connect with just three recruiters. . Be confident and remember these are just conversations. If the first conversation doesn’t go as you hoped, engage in another one.

• Get contact information from the employers you connect with.

While career fairs can be crowded and perhaps overwhelming, they are very beneficial for students at any point during their college process.

What are the benefits of a career fair?

• Gain information about multiple industries • Practice communication skills • Learn about internship and job openings • Secure interviews for opportunities • Network with new contacts • Get hired!

AFTER THE FAIR • Send thank you emails to the employers you connected with. Even if you’re not looking for a job or internship opportunity right now, you are building relationships and creating a good impression.

• Meet with an advisor at the Career Center again. Debrief how the fair went and determine what your next steps should be. Perhaps you need to update your resume or rethink your career direction–we have the resources you need. To make an appointment with a career advisor, call the Career Center at 541-346-3235.

WHAT EMPLOYERS WANT Employers are telling us that they are looking for candidates who have developed competencies in soft skills, which are often developed outside of the classroom during internships, part-time jobs, and other work-related experiences.

These soft skills (transferable skills) are listed below and adapted from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).

• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. You are able to absorb, interpret, and use knowledge and data while demonstrating originality and inventiveness.

• Oral and Written Communications. You are able to express ideas to others clearly and effectively. This includes public speaking skills and the ability to write and edit memos, letters, and complex technical reports.

• Teamwork and Collaboration. You are able to work within a team structure and manage conflict.

• Digital Technology. You demonstrate effective adaptability to new and emerging technologies.

• Leadership. You are able to organize, prioritize, and delegate work while using empathetic skills to guide and motivate.

• Professionalism and Work Ethic. You demonstrate integrity and ethical behavior, act responsibly with the interests of the larger community in mind, and learn from your mistakes.

• Career Management. You are able to navigate and explore job options, understand and take the necessary steps to pursue opportunities, and self-advocate in the workplace.

• Global and Intercultural Fluency. You demonstrate openness, inclusiveness, sensitivity, and the ability to interact respectfully with all people.

A recent NACE survey indicates employers are seeing college students who have strong skills in digital technology and teamwork. However, they are seeing real skill gaps in the other competencies.

How do you develop these transferable skills?

Take part in as many experiences as possible including volunteering, part-time jobs, internships, and even substantial class projects. The key is to start early.

Dedicate a small amount of time each term to engaging strategically in experiences of interest to you, reflecting on the skills you’ve gained, used, and enjoyed, and build on those throughout your time at the UO. In doing so, you will have a strong foundation of transferable skills that employers are looking for.

Acquiring these skills is as critical to students as it is to employers.

Most statistics show today’s college graduate will hold between five to seven careers in their lifetime. Transferable skills are key in facilitating those career changes.
