VERYTHING UO

Lillis Hall. (Emerald Archives)

In January, the University of Oregon Senate approved a program proposal that would allow departments across UO to allow “high-achieving” students a chance to obtain a higher degree with a portion of graduate classes taken during undergrad. The program, called an accelerated master’s, would take place over a five-year period: traditional undergraduate classes in the first three years, graduate-level courses in the fourth year and then one year with the appropriate graduate school. Students would apply to begin taking classes that count for the graduate degree in their third year. The students would then have to apply during their fourth year to the graduate school from which they intend to get their master’s degree. This is subject to change from program to program as departments can make their own schedules as long as it is eventually approved by the right committees, according to Karduna. Andrew Karduna, associate dean of the Graduate School and sponsor of the proposal, said students would probably benefit from deciding they want to participate in one of these programs early in their college career so they can begin to plan their schedules. Some departments across UO have already begun to develop their own

accelerated master’s programs to propose to the Graduate and Undergraduate Councils of the Senate. The departments for economics and math and the College of Education showed particular interest early on. According to Karduna, the accelerated master’s program has multiple benefits: It serves as a recruiting tool and lowers the price of earning multiple degrees. “If high school students knew that they could come to the University of Oregon and in, say, a five-year period, get both an undergraduate and graduate degree through this program, then it could potentially help the university in terms of recruitment at the undergraduate level,” Karduna said. The Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships will still offer aid to students participating during the undergraduate portion of the program, Karduna said. While students are taking graduate-level courses in undergrad, they will be paying the normal undergraduate tuition rate, according to Karduna. “Basically as long as a student is working toward their undergraduate degree, a graduate class can count towards undergraduate financial aid,” Karduna said. Lillian Durán, associate dean of the College of Education, said the college

is planning to develop an accelerated program within the special education program. She added that they are only in the “infancy of this discussion” as more kinks need to be worked out. The College of Education intends to create a brand new special education undergraduate major soon with the creation of the accelerated master’s to go along with it, according to Durán. “We need to be creative at this point to have a program that would entice students to stay for their master’s degree from UO and also make our master’s degree program continue to be relevant,” Durán said. Karduna said UO could begin these accelerated master’s programs as early as Fall 2020, with undergraduate students having the opportunity to apply in the spring for such a program. The development of the accelerated master’s program was started in April 2019 after Janet Woodruff-Borden, then dean of the Graduate School, called a gathering of deans from across almost every department at UO to discuss master’s programs. According to Karduna, there was a strong support for the implementation of an accelerated master’s option. Karduna said he has never seen such a consensus than on this particular project.

DAYS LATE AND DOLLARS SHORT: INTERNAL REPORT REVEALS MORE GES NOT PAID THAN ORIGINALLY STATED BY RYAN NGUYEN • TWITTER @RYANJJNGUYEN

TAKEAWAYS FROM THE REPORT •

•

UO FAILED TO PAY 700, AND NOT 350, OF ITS GEs ON TIME. THAT MEANS ALMOST HALF OF ALL UO GEs DID NOT RECEIVE THEIR MONTHLY PAYCHECKS ON TIME. UO MISSED ITS STATED DEADLINE OF WHEN IT WOULD PAY GEs BY TWO DAYS. ONLY ONE EMPLOYEE IS TASKED WITH ENTERING GE PAPERWORK DATA INTO THE PAYROLL SYSTEM — AND DOES SO MANUALLY. UO IS CONSIDERING VARIOUS STRATEGIES TO FIX ITS CLOGGED PAYROLL SYSTEM

Following the vote to authorize a strike, the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation holds a rally to demand a fair contract at Johnson Hall on Oct. 18, 2019. (Marissa Willke/Emerald)

The University of Oregon’s original estimate of how many of its graduate employees it failed to pay last October has doubled from 350 to 700 since the mistake was first announced, according to an internal university report. The report reviews the October 2019 incident in which the university failed to pay a significant number of its 1,500 GEs. Though the university originally said that it had not paid only 350 GEs, the report states that the actual figure is double that, at 700. And though the university originally told the Emerald that it expected to pay all GEs by Oct. 8, the report states that the school missed this deadline by two days. The university did not provide comment about the report before publication of this story after four business days, including questions about why the university had originally estimated that only 350 GEs had not been paid, why it missed its deadline by two days and what specific actions it would take in the future.

UO employs about 1,500 GEs, graduate students who teach, research and work in administration in exchange for tuition and fee waivers. Those who didn’t receive their monthly paycheck — for many, the first paycheck of the school year or their first from the university — could not pay their rent or other monthly expenses on time, said GEs in interviews with the Emerald in October. The report also suggested places for improvement regarding how the university pays GEs, the hiring and onboarding process and how long the payroll office takes to process employment paperwork. The paperwork process begins in the department where the GE works and ends in the payroll department. The Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation, the labor union representing GEs at UO, said that it first learned about the differing numbers when it received the report near the end of December. When it first learned of missing October paychecks from GEs, the union sent out a survey to approximate the

number of affected GEs and arrived at about the same number as the university. “We tried to reach out to as many people as possible. It was also the beginning of the year,” GTFF President Ellen Gillooly-Kress said. “But that was our effort to try and figure out the extent of the problem.” The university uses electronic payroll request forms to manage temporary and current positions in the payroll system, according to the UO Human Resources webpage. The payroll office normally takes six days to process, review and send ePRFs to the payroll department, the report states. A graduate student coordinator compiles hiring paperwork and sends them to the payroll department, which matches them with completed ePRF forms and enters it into the system. But just a single payroll employee enters this data — and does so manually. “Our position is, they need to get paid and as quickly as possible, and I know that there are limits, as they

outlined in the document, to the human labor that’s involved with manually entering things,” GilloolyKress said. “I think that was their best-faith effort to get that done.” The payroll department also waits until September to enter hiring paperwork into the system, after the university has hired new GEs and reappointed returning GEs. The main hurdles the payroll department faces include an inefficient paperwork process and a lack of process for tracking late documents, according to the report. The report also briefly outlined some potential improvements for streamlining the payroll process, including automating some payroll tasks, processing documents earlier in the year and having more employees input paperwork data. “There’s not a very specific answer to, ‘Why so many people?’” GilloolyKress said. This story will be updated to include a response from the university if one is provided. Check dailyemerald.com for the latest version.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire. (Image sourced from imdb.)

REVIEW: ‘PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE’ PAINTS A HAUNTINGLY INTIMATE VISION OF LOVE BY CHRISTIAN CANCILLA This review contains spoilers. As painting instructor Marianne (Noémie Merlant) models for her students, a piece from her past steals her attention. When one of her old paintings is pulled out by a student, the audience and Marianne alike are pulled into the story of the piece titled, “Portrait of a Lady on Fire.” The story behind the painting starts at the end of the 18th century with Marianne aboard a boat headed to an island in Brittany, with barely more than the tools she will need to paint a wedding portrait for a woman set to marry an unknown man. As Marianne comes to know the subject of her portrait, Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), the two fall deeply in love with one another as the wedding looms nearer by the day. The portrait is a major connective piece through the film, as we see

how Marianne’s image of her comes to fruition and how this changes at various points. “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” is an extremely intimate affair. With a main cast of four women located on an isolated island, the film can feel so private that the audience shouldn’t impose by watching. But with a script that unravels the characters for viewers to understand, and camerawork that pulls the viewer into the storyline, the audience is invited to witness their story as it unfolds. The French film is written and directed by Céline Sciamma, who has a deft touch with dialogue here. The conversations between Héloïse and Marianne are poetic as they read like prose. Héloïse is blunt and unafraid to fire back at Marianne with a power behind her retorts and the sentiments the two share are beautiful.

Aside from the occasional scene with Héloïse’s mother, the two are only accompanied by the one staff member of the household, Sophie (Luàna Bajrami), who becomes an almost surrogate daughter to Marianne and Héloïse. All three deliver strong performances, with Bajrami’s most powerful scene being when she undergoes a final treatment toward her unwanted pregnancy, a vulnerable moment like many in the film. Merlant fully embodies her role, coming in as an observer and painter and becoming a lover and close friend. Haenel is the heart of this film — her performance as the strong-willed, angry and awkward Héloïse is brilliant. Much of her work, especially early on, is silent as she walks with Marianne along the windy shore completely covered, leaving their eyes exposed. Her presence is rich and her eyes are piercing; she can

catch you unguarded, contemplating you through the screen as you observe her story. The film utilizes its picturesque locations and plush landscapes. Often lit by the orange glow of fire or by the blue chill of the night sky, the film looks like a painting Marianne might make herself. The cinematography forces the audience into the private moments of lust, grief and joy. Many moments in the film are perceived through Marianne’s perspective. Seeing Héloïse for the first time as her cloak hood falls to her shoulders as she walks briskly ahead or running to the cliff with shaky intensity; these choices deepen to connection with the characters on-screen. “Portrait of a Lady of Fire” is funny and painful, it’s beautiful and haunting; a deeply resonant work that will stay with the audience long after the credits roll.

BEN LERNER’S VISION OF KANSAS IN

“THE TOPEKA SCHOOL” BY AUDREY KALMAN

The Topeka School. (Madi Mather/Emerald)

Ben Lerner’s latest novel, “The Topeka School,” depicts life in his hometown of Topeka, Kansas. Lerner, a professor of English at Brooklyn College has written two novels, three books of poetry and also nonfiction. “The Topeka School” illustrates a case study of middle America, its complexities and its faults. “The Topeka School” was named one of the New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2019. The book centers around the three members of the Gordon family: parents Jane and Johnathan, and son Adam. However, the novel begins with Topeka teen Darren Eberheart in police custody, after having assaulted a female peer with a cue ball. Darren’s high school experience – an extremely troubled one – is shown oppositional to Adam’s. Adam is a debate champion, who then attends Columbia, while the longest scenes with Darren depict him in therapy with Adam’s dad, Johnathan, at the psychiatric institute. Darren ended up weaponizing the billiard ball after becoming fed up with his male “friends,” who had recently abandoned Darren miles outside of town, leaving him to walk back to Topeka, scared and alone. Notably, Adam was among the boys who chose to leave Darren alone outside of town. This situation adds a great deal to stereotypes about the often assumed simplicity of “the flyover states,” such as Kansas. The bullying Darren endures causes readers to sympathize with him, despite his violence, and Adam’s role as complacent in this bullying denounces his reputation as a bright young man, bound for the Ivy League. The complexity of the setting in “The Topeka School” works to emphasize how even small communities possess multitudes. The setting of the novel is distinctly white America. This becomes especially noticeable within a chapter narrated by Johnathan. He spent a few years of his youth during the 1960s abroad in Taipei, as his father was a diplomat. After one of Johnathan’s classmates degrades a local man, “The farmer, whose life, or at least livelihood, was destroyed, showed up, to everyone’s amazement, at the International School the next day, screaming, crying.” The farmer proceeds to ask for an apology,

which baffles the students. This scene works to not only vilify teenage American boys, but to contrast Taipei with the primary setting of the book, Topeka, Kansas. The several white, male characters in “The Topeka School” face no threat at home in Topeka, no discomfort; they act accordingly. In this way, “The Topeka School,” feels like a sketch of what it was like to be a white man in middle America approaching the 21st century. The only main female character in the story, Adam’s mother Jane, is characterized as being largely at odds with men. Jane wrote a successful book about relationships and toxic masculinity, for which multitudes of disgruntled men hate harass her, claiming she has ruined their lives. Jane seems to be trapped in the male-dominated world of Kansas, where everyone incorrectly assumes her husband to be “Dr. Gordon,” and offers him the check, despite her being much more successful. Jane also serves as a definitive anchor for her son Adam. In one of the book’s most stressful scenes, Adam, at school in New York, learns that his girlfriend has cheated on him while studying abroad. Adam calls his mom, Jane, in a state of fury and distress. This scene articulates Adam’s position, straddling the generational divide between child and adult. Adam displays his independence by virtue of the fact that he has gone to study at Columbia, but he also shows his dependence in how his knee-jerk reaction is to call his mother crying after receiving bad news. These pages acutely remind readers of the in-between nature of young adults, college students especially. Adam attending school in New York also stands for a sort of familial return to the metropolitan area. Jane and Johnathan both grew up in New York before relocating to Topeka to work at the psychiatric institute, referred to as the Foundation. Adam’s eastward progression feels like a contradiction to the portrait of the intricacy of life in Kansas. Topeka is implicitly not enough for the aspirational young man, though being a small fish in the big pond of New York City does not allow Adam

to reign in the way that he did in his hometown. Lerner adds great depth to every member of the Gordon family, highlighting the complexity that each individual household handles. Though most of the book addresses interfamilial dynamics, the nuances among these humans remind readers that communities across the country are complex and contradictory in their interwoven natures.

MORE FROM BEN LERNER Leaving the Atocha Station (2011) Lerner’s debut novel tells of a young American artist abroad in Madrid, Spain, navigating the dynamic art realm of the 21st century. 10:04 (2014) The protagonist of this novel is based on Lerner himself. The protagonist is a writer in New York recently diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition; the book follows his plight with this news. The Hatred of Poetry (2016) This nonfiction piece addresses the contempt with which poetry is generally received. There is a certainly intriguing irony in Lerner writing this opinion of his, given his three collections of poetry, “The Lichtenberg Figures,” “Angel of Yaw” and “Mean Free Path.”

JSMA PROGRAM SEEKS TO CONNECT

PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA TO ART The Reflection’s and Connection’s workshop hosts weekly art classes at the Jordan Schnizer Museum of Art with crafts that are aimmed to stimulate participants.(Kimberly Harris/Emerald)

BY GRACE MURRAY • TWITTER @GRACIEE_MURRAYY Reflections and Connections, a program run by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Foundation, connects dementia and the healing properties of art. Art is a means of creative expression and entertainment, but beyond that, it has the capacity to inspire human connection. “There’s something about art that seems to pull out some memories. Sometimes people will talk about past experiences that they haven’t talked about for awhile,” said Dante Fumagalli, a JSMA education assistant. The program hosts individuals with youngonset or early- to mid-stage dementia and their care partners in impactful and educational art workshops. For the participants, art builds community, creativity and healing.

The JSMA provides educational services, events and rotating art exhibits for the campus community and beyond. Reflections and Connections, which started in August 2018, runs on the academic calendar with six meetings every term. Each program hosts 10 people for the term: five people living with dementia and each of their care partners. The JSMA isn’t the first museum to try such a program — the Museum of Modern Art in New York debuted the first program of its kind called Meet Me at MoMA in 2007. Reflections and Connections is one of two such programs in the state of Oregon, with the other at the Portland Art Museum. “I think that it is really important that community institutions, especially arts and culture institutions, step up and offer services because it is such a long and gradual decline throughout the disease,”

Rosemarie Oakman, an arts in healthcare graduate employee at the JSMA, said. “But there are so many interventions and health and well-being platforms like this program that can be used to really enhance that experience both for the person with dementia and their care partner.” The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that about 5.8 million people of all ages in the United States are currently living with Alzheimer’s, a type of dementia, and more than 16 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. Reflection and Connections’ participants are encouraged to build a community and share their stories with those around them. “So much of it is about self-expression and getting to know how you feel about artwork, so it really doesn’t matter if you currently are coming in with

a big background of knowledge because we really are experiencing all new things together every time we meet,” Oakman said. The program breaks down the artistic process in a way that is stimulating, entertaining and easy to follow. “My favorite thing about this program is definitely the people that we meet here. The people are so funny and so excited about art,” said a JSMA education project assistant Cassidy Shaffer. Each two-hour session begins with a gallery tour in which the participants are taken through an exhibit on display in the museum. Participants break down each piece through conversations with their peers about the aspects of the piece that they enjoy. “Participants get a sense of empowerment and there is a lot of relaxation,” said Hannah Bastian, a JSMA museum educator for studio programs and special projects. “Some people who maybe don’t see themselves as artists, but who are artists, get to see themselves in that light.” Once the gallery tour is finished, the participants go into the art studio to create their own art based on what they just viewed. Each time they meet, they work with a different artistic medium, allowing participants to try a number of different forms. They have worked with collages, clay, watercolor and acrylic paints, sketching and glazing. Before each art-making session begins, art experts from the museum staff break down the creation of the pieces and explain how the materials are used. The museum staff creates an example art piece

that the participants can recreate or create their own art piece inspired by the pieces on display. Barbara Newman is a care partner for one of the program’s participants and has seen its impact. “She has created some things that we have given to her children as gifts. I like her to do things that are stimulating, whatever that may be,” said Newman. “This is a totally different activity, and she really likes this. She likes looking at the pictures, and she likes creating her own art.” Occasionally, the connections within the exhibit go beyond the visual. The museum staff will play music or give the participants food that sound or taste like the items within the art piece. For instance, the participants were given two pieces of flavored chocolate, one lavender and the other mint, as they were viewing a nature-themed exhibit.

“I love the positivity and how accessible it is to everybody. The leaders are very positive and they make everyone feel included no matter how difficult it is to understand for anyone,” said Carol Reidy, a care partner of one of the participants. The types of care partners vary: some of them are professional caregivers, family members and friends. Many of these people can be full-time care partners or sole providers for the person they take care of, and Reflections and Connections gives them the chance to be creative together. “You get to know the people a bit and it’s very nice. Everyone has something to offer and something special. Everything runs very smoothly and you get a lot of support,” Reidy said. “It’s not about creating a beautiful piece of art or anything, it’s about bringing together people who are losing their memory and then doing something with that person.” Participants must register in advance by contacting artheals@uoregon.edu or 541-346-6410.

OPINION

LIMITING OUR GROCERY LIST TO ORGANIC ISN’T WORTH IT BY EMILY HALBERG

College students are trying their best to maintain a healthy lifestyle while juggling classes and a social life. To help fuel their busy lifestyle, they are reaching for that organic snack that makes life feel a little easier. Organic food culture dominates the United States, and more specifically, younger individuals like college students. In the fall of 2018, Statista Global Consumer Survey found that Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 were the top consumers of organic foods. Although there is a lot of variation in the cost of organic foods in relation to conventional foods, on average, organic items are about 7.5% more expensive, according to MarketWatch. “I’m lucky enough to have an allowance from my family to purchase organic foods, otherwise I would not be able to afford it,” said Eralise Spokely, a sophomore at UO. The price difference between organic and non-organic foods, as Spokely puts it, is “insane and college is expensive as it is.” The labels on our food heavily influence our relationship with it. The USDA Organic label on organic food is attractive to consumers and informs us that it was not made with GMOs, therefore it is non-organic. Other labels on products like “free-range,” “hormone-free” and “natural” also do not mean organic, according to The National Pesticide Information Center. But it can still be appealing to students like UO sophomore Anna Sanchirico, who says she will “still buy cage-free eggs and organic PA G E 1 2

chicken terms of animal products.” Foods that travel a long way to get to us have a negative impact on the environment. For example, Harvest Public Media explains that in the course of processing organic products like corn tortilla chips, there is a lengthy process – starting with harvest and through multiple stages of production and transportation in which there are various instances where the organic integrity of the product may be compromised. “Organic food is among the faster-growing categories in supermarkets even though it adds to food bills and studies vary when it comes to perceived health benefits,” said Zlati Meyer of USA Today. When it comes to budgeting for groceries, students often need to do what is best for their bank accounts. Students like Sanchirico say that non-organic foods serve a purpose. “I don’t think they’re necessarily bad, I just prefer to buy more local foods because it’s much better for the environment not to rely on food that travels incredibly far to get to you,” she said. The benefits we see in organic food have made us fearful of GMO foods because we believe they hold lesser value and may be detrimental to our health. It is interesting to note CropLife International includes on their website that “most GMO crops are nutritionally equivalent to their non-GMO counterpart” — which is one of the goals of GMO products. Engineering crops to meet the needs of people and communities while avoiding disease and

other natural interferences is essentially the point of GMOs in our lives. If inorganic products are what we can afford, there is no shame because they still serve an essential purpose in our lives. “Non-organic products are cheaper, and I’m not against GMO products because most of the time they are safe due to regulations,” Spokely said. Regulations under the USDA limit the number of pesticides organic foods may be produced with – therefore you can still be purchasing produce with pesticides when you shop organically. Shopping for organics or not, one extremely important thing to remember is that “pesticide residue can be reduced by routine food handling practices such as washing, peeling and cooking” as directed by the National Pesticide Information Center. When shopping, some helpful tips to remember from the EPA are to “eat a variety of foods, from a variety of sources… to give you a better mix of nutrients and reduce your likelihood of exposure to a single pesticide.” In order to be healthy and financially stable, students have to make sacrifices to their grocery list. Not being able to purchase strictly organic foods is okay. Pressure to conform to organic food culture and renounce GMOs are not the one way ticket to a healthy, environmentally conscious life. Instead, eating fruits and vegetables, regardless of whether they are organic or not, is a great start.

SELFLESSNESS OF ANTHONY MATHIS

PROVIDES VALUE DESPITE RECENT STRUGGLES BY CLAYTON FRANKE • TWITTER @CLAYFRANKE1 Ducks guard Anthony Mathis (32) extends his arms during a full court press. (DL Young/Emerald)

ULTIMATELY I JUST WANTED TO COME BACK HOME AND PLAY IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.” ANTHONY MATHIS

On Dec. 14, 2019, the Ducks battled the then-No. 5 Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor. With the score tied at 63, there was no question of who was going to get the ball in the final 12 seconds of the game. Payton Pritchard had scored the last nine Oregon points — all eyes were rested on the star. He drove into the paint and pulled up from the free throw line, but something unexpected happened. The ball was tipped on the way up, sending it flying sideways and out of Pritchard’s reach. Somebody else, suddenly, had a chance to win the game. C.J. Walker deflected the ball outside to Anthony Mathis, who stood just shy of the large “M” marking center court. Mathis launched a three, the sound of the buzzer filling the air as the ball snapped through the net. The bench rushed Mathis as the 6-foot-3, 175 pound shooting guard pounded his chest in joy — he was an unexpected savior. The only problem was, he didn’t get the shot off in time. The Ducks ended up completing the upset in overtime, but Mathis barely missed out on being the hero. Since then he’s shooting just 34% from beyond the arc. He hasn’t been in the starting lineup since Oregon’s loss to Washington State on Jan. 16. PA G E 1 4

The swagger and rhythm he had at the beginning of the season seems to be lost, and Will Richardson has taken the role of Pritchard’s second hand man in the backcourt. When Mathis was in seventh grade, his single mother moved to Wyoming, but he elected to stay in West Linn, Oregon and move in with the Pritchard family. They lived under the same roof through high school, where the backcourt duo led the West Linn High School basketball team to three consecutive Oregon 6A state championships. “We’ve played together our whole lives, so it’s pretty familiar, but it’s refreshing to play with my brother again,” Mathis said prior to the 201920 season. When it came time to choose a school, Mathis got interest from Oregon but never received an offer. He wasn’t included in the 2015 ESPN top 100 list, getting offers from Oregon State, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University of Portland and New Mexico. He decided to leave his home state and take his talents to Albuquerque. Mathis appeared in 25 games for New Mexico his freshman year in 2015-16 but averaged only 6.6 minutes per game. The team went 1715, finishing fourth in the Mountain

West Conference. After playing just 10 games and picking up a medical redshirt for a season-ending injury in 2016-17, he finished his career at New Mexico strong. He appeared in over 30 games the next two seasons, with his best season coming in 2017-18, his redshirt sophomore season. A 47.3 3-point percentage led his team to a 19-15 record and a third place finish in the MWC. He then averaged over 30 minutes a game and broke the Lobos school record for made 3-pointers in a season his redshirt junior season. Again, it came time for Mathis to choose a new school as a graduate transfer, but he had many more options the second time around, including interest from Kansas, Boston College, Houston, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and, of course, Oregon. Despite the plethora of powerhouse schools, it was an easy choice for Mathis. “Ultimately I just wanted to come back home and play in front of my friends and family,” Mathis told SB Nation. “[To be] with my brother Payton, it was a great opportunity for me to play here at Oregon.” Back in his home state, Mathis got off to a hot start in his final season of college basketball. Through the

first 10 games, he put up a 52.6 3-point percentage, highlighted by a 30-point game in which he went 9 of 11 from 3 against Boise State. He and Pritchard once again seemed to be the standouts of a thriving team. However, Mathis has struggled in the second half of the year. He’s not shooting nearly as much, and when he does shoot, he’s not as consistent as he was in the first half of the year. But Mathis’ value in the second half of the year goes beyond the stat sheet. He’s committed to winning and doesn’t expect to be a star. “Obviously it hurts not seeing them go down for a little while,” Mathis said. “I don’t really care how many points I get or shots I get up. I just want to win.” Without any interest from the NBA, this could be his last season of basketball. Some players might be frustrated with a lack of playing time at this point in the season, but Mathis understands his role on the team, and he’s quick to compliment the younger players starting over him. Regardless of how the rest of the season plays out for Mathis, his loyalty to his team and home state is certainly admirable. “Being able to play for my home state is something I’ve always dreamt about doing,” Mathis said.

PERFECT LA WEEKEND SWEEP FOR THE DUCKS

AUG 04 5:30 GATES 7:00 SHOW

BY CARLY EBISUYA • TWITTER @CARLYEBISUYA Oregon women’s basketball has now won 12 straight games after sweeping UCLA and USC this past weekend. The win at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion sealed the Ducks’ seventh win against a ranked opponent during its winning streak and fifth against a top-10 opponent. Ruthy Hebard had a monster game at UCLA, picking up her 12th doubledouble of the season with 30 points and 17 rebounds on the night. Feeding many of her 30 points was her pickand-roll counterpart Sabrina Ionescu, who also had a historic game against the Bruins. Ionescu reached 1,000 career assists after finding guard Taylor Chavez on the right wing for a 3 early in the game. After that pass, the NCAA’s triple-double leader joined superstar Courtney Vandersloot — who also played under head coach Kelly Graves at Gonzaga — to achieve 2,000 career points and 1,000 assists in NCAA history, men’s or women’s. She is also now only the fifth player in NCAA women’s history to reach 1,000 assists. Entering Sunday’s matchup against USC, Oregon had a one-game leg up

on Stanford for first place in the Pac-12 standings. With the win, the Ducks now have a two-game advantage over the No. 8 Cardinal. Oregon continued to roll in Los Angeles against the Trojans, who were coming off a stunning upset against Oregon State. After a slow start, the Ducks found their groove in the second half, thanks to seven 3-pointers from Erin Boley, who finished with a season-high 25 points and almost 60% shooting from beyond the arc. Hebard finished the weekend in dominating fashion at the Galen Center with another double-double on the season — her 13th — with 22 points and 10 rebounds. With their 12th straight win after dominating the Southern California schools this past weekend, the Ducks are looking to continue to get separation in the Pac-12 standings. Oregon has yet another road trip next weekend, this time in Northern California where they will face off against No. 8 Stanford for a crucial Pac-12 matchup and against the California Bears.
