President Michael Schill told University Faculty Senate leadership Tuesday morning that he will be placing the proposed Time, Place and Manner and Protection of Free Speech Policy on hold.

The original policy regulated the time, place and manner of protests students may hold in the future. Proponents of the policy said it would give students guidelines for what is allowed in a protest so events would not be judged arbitrarily on a case-by-case basis. Opponents of the policy said that it unnecessarily restricted their first amendment rights According to an email sent to Senate President Bill Harbaugh and Vice President Chris Sinclair, Schill determined that more work had to be done to refine the policy. “While I still believe that these rules are advisable to protect content neutrality,� Schill states in the email, “I am also convinced that we need to do more work in educating the comThe Emerald is published

munity and building consensus around them.�

The Senate met the proposed policy with significant reluctance and planned to propose an alternative policy this spring. The University of Oregon does not have a clear set of guidelines to govern protests on campus. Instead, a combination of policies including the Facilities Scheduling and Freedom of Inquiry and Speech policies make up the standards for student protesters.

The TPM policy was attempting to combine the rules and regulations contained in these policies into one. Harbaugh does not believe that the university needs such a policy. “The university has operated under the existing rules for six years now without any problems,� he told the Emerald last week.

The University Senate will host a town hall meeting on Feb. 23 to gather input from students and community members. The event will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. in PLC 180.

University takes action after ads appear on Breitbart

]

HILLS, @LIVELIFEDRAKE

The University of Oregon received complaints this week from campus community members regarding the university’s advertisement on Breitbart.com, the altright news site. Breitbart News emerged as President Donald Trump’s media support during the 2016 election season.

Last week, citizens of Eugene brought to attention an advertisement on Breitbart that displayed a UO Strategic Communications Master’s Program. The advertisement was attached to an article slandering women and describing why they should not strive for a mathematics or science degree.

The article, “Here’s Why There Ought To Be A Cap on Women Studying Science and Maths,� published in 2015, discussed Breitbart’s perception of the value of current female mathematics and science degree holders. “Even women who graduate with good degrees in science subjects often don’t use them: they switch careers in their twenties, abandoning the hard sciences,� wrote Milo Yiannopoulos, senior editor for Breitbart News.

The university’s advertisement caught the eyes of many affiliated with UO. Various alumni across the country chimed in via Twitter to share their thoughts. “They tweeted me, in response to my

tweet expressing dismay, that they were sorry and that it was just an algorithm,� said Janet Johnson, a University of Oregon Law School alumna. “However, I know many companies have managed to stop their ads from appearing on Breitbart.�

The university acknowledged the issue on Twitter and is intending to take action.

UO has deemed this a third-party algorithm issue. In other words, they were not aware the ad was on Breitbart.

Johnson, like many others, has demanded change, threatening to no longer financially support the university until the issue is solved. “I would first make sure they understand the horror of seeing my alma mater not only advertising on a Breitbart story, but that the story being about why women should not become scientists made alumni like me feel horror and shame,�

Johnson said.

The university has made recent efforts to foster diversity and create a safe campus space. However, some in the community feel the advertisement set the university back, as many continued to share their frustration, including Johnson. “I’d want their assurance that it will never happen again. That one ad undid years and years of reputation building by UO,� she said. “It was heartbreaking.�

UO responded to complaints about university ads on Breitbart via Twitter.

NEVER ‘BEAN’ BETTER ➥ FRANKLIN

LEWIS, @FLEWIS_1

“You lived in Bean? I’m sorry.�

For all its perceived flaws, Bean Hall’s tiny rooms and concrete walls have housed decades of University of Oregon students. Although the east-campus residence hall will begin a two-year renovation this summer, many residents will remember Bean’s old halls with both fondness and resentment.

Julian Croman, UO freshman and current Bean resident, said he bonded with his floormates over spontaneous shenanigans, like hallway soccer or hitting skateboard tricks over mattresses. “If you ask me if there is a list of things that I wish would change or get fixed, yeah, I’d go on for hours,� Croman said. “But the friendships I’ve made and the experiences I’ve had in Bean are something that I would not trade for any fancy living area.�

Built in 1963, Bean is one of the older dorms on campus. But it didn’t always have the stigma that surrounds it today. Before the Living Learning Center’s construction in 2006, and Global Scholars Hall’s in 2012, Barnhart Hall — originally built in 1966 — was the most modern residence hall available to students. The upcoming Bean renovation will mark the first major remodel of any 1960-era on-campus dorm.

But according to current and former residents of Bean, the dilapidated residence hall may have created some of the most tight knit communities on campus. Some administrators in the housing department agree. “The funny thing about Bean is that even though it’s received a bad wrap because it’s one of the vintage buildings with small rooms,� said Kevin Hatfield, director of academic, residential and research initiatives with university housing, “If you talk to students who lived there, they have often had positive experiences just in terms of the community.�

Abi Olson, UO freshman and current resident of Bean, said that living in close quarters with her floormates has led to many of her best friendships. “In [Global Scholars Hall] for example, they have huge rooms so you can keep your door closed and relax,� Olson said. “You don’t feel super tight in your own room. But in Bean, you have to keep your PA G E 4

door open if you want to survive.�

The open-door attitude on her floor is what she said led to such a strong community in her hall.

For other Bean residents, the redeeming community of the hall isn’t enough to counter the horrible reputation it has received.

Students have spread rumors that Bean Hall was designed by an architect who designed prisons, that it was designed after an existing prison, and even that Shawshank Redemption 2 will be filmed in Bean Hall’s prison-like corridors. Although none of these are true, some students have had experiences that validate some of the reputation.

Madi Bradley, UO sophomore and former resident of Bean Hall, said her floormates always kept their doors closed, preventing the sense of community that others have experienced. Bradley said she keeps in contact with just one other person from her wing besides her roommate.

And she said the closed doors weren’t the worst part. “I wasn’t able to open my window at all during the term because of spiders and spiderwebs,�

Bradley said. “If my window was open for five minutes, spiders would come in.�

Bradley acknowledges that for how bad Bean was, she still felt it gave her the college experience she imagined.

But for Jim Smith, a UO alumnus who moved into Bean in 1981, the college experience was less about spiders and more about never counting on a full night’s sleep. “Usually on Friday nights you didn’t plan on sleeping too much,� Smith said. “Saturday morning, you’d get up and most of the lights would be hanging, the phone would be torn off the wall. The worst part was during parents weekend they’d be coming up to visit your room and you’d have destruction all over the place from everyone partying it up.�

Smith visited campus in 2014 for a Ducks football game, and said Bean looked nearly unchanged from how he remembered it 33 years prior. “I was having a little deja-vu going on,�

Smith said.

The finished renovations will likely dispel any

visual deja-vu Smith will have the next time he sees Bean.

Bean West and the old University Catering kitchen will be remodeled first, starting summer of 2017. While construction is in progress, Bean East will remain open and will house students during the 2017-2018 school year. Following completion and reopening of Bean West and the common area, Bean East will close and be remodeled.

By the 2019-2020 school year, the complex will be completed.

According to Anna Schmidt, director of residence life and educational initiatives with university housing, the renovation of Bean Hall is part of a

Sallie Ford: Exploring how to be alone ➥ PAT I E N C E

GREENE

The ‘60-inspired Portland-based band Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside formed in 2007, and reached prominence in 2011 when they performed on the Late Show with David Letterman. In 2013 the group broke up, but Sallie Ford has not dropped out of the music scene; instead she has sought to develop her own sound with a solo career.

On Feb. 10, Ford released Soul Sick, her second album since parting ways with the Sound Outside. This album followed Slap Back, her first solo piece with an all-female backing group.

Slap Back began as a side project where Ford experimented with new writing styles and was intended to have a fun garage-rock feel to it — something very different than her established oldies rock sound. “Slap Back was more a fun project that I just wanted to do,� Ford said. “A lot of those songs were just a different way of writing because I didn’t have a band anymore, and I wrote it all very quickly.�

After its release, Ford felt that Slap Back didn’t sound the way she intended it to, and she was disappointed with the public’s response. “Instead of celebrating it, [people were] bummed out that the Sound Outside wasn’t in the picture anymore,� Ford said. “For me that was pretty hard, to be honest. I needed to find a way to explore how to be alone without them after

being with them for like six years.�

Soul Sick is the product of Ford struggling with this breakup and her personal fear of failure as a musician. Inspired in part by Sufjan Steven’s concept albums, Ford wanted to create an album around a theme. “It was kind of a reaction to my personal issues in general, which of course are going to relate to my band life,� Ford Said. “I wanted to do something more deliberate this time, and working with Mike [Coykendall] is what helped me find that vision.�

Ford had wanted to record an album with Coykendall since moving to Portland in 2006.

Coykendall, the producer of Soul Sick, plays much of the music on the record and is part of the backing band.

Ford calls Soul Sick a confessional album, which is especially apparent on tracks dealing with issues like fear and the eventual acceptance of failure, or how hard life for a middle child can be.

The sound on Soul Sick is a bridge between Ford’s work with the Sound Outside and her newly redefined sound from Slap Back. The retro feel from her past music is present through the entire album, which does a nice job tying the piece together; but listeners also experience a more genuine and raw Ford than ever before. “I’ve always liked retro music,� Ford said. “I just

wanted to do something back in that, inspired by that. A lot of my childhood I listened to oldies music, and I wanted this album to sound kind of nostalgic that way.�

Nostalgia plays a big role in this album, and several songs tap into Ford’s childhood angst.

The resulting product is a refectory piece on personal growth. Not only is Soul Sick a relatable album that can remind listeners of their own childhood and personal struggles, but it seems like a positive turning point in Ford’s career. She is able to explore new sounds while simultaneously holding on to her roots and integrity and comes off sounding more mature than ever before.

Ford compares bands to relationships, and in that way, Soul Sick is very much an album about a breakup, but it is also the celebration of a new beginning. As Ford sets out on her North American and European tour, she is looking forward to playing shows with her new companions. “Going out and playing music every night, there is something special about that, and I really love, love, love the people I’m playing with right now,� Ford said.

Before she leaves for Europe, Ford will perform at Mississippi Studios in Portland on Feb. 18. Tickets are $14 in advance and $16 at the door. The show is 21 and over.

Geoffrey R. Stone, the Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor from the University of Chicago, will be speaking at the event and will examine these issues surrounding free speech.

While examining the history of academic freedom, Stone will also address how universities can facilitate a mutual respect on the basis of community and first amendment rights.

Political science major and playwright Sravya Tadepelli wrote “The Fruit Stand� in response to the 2015 church shooting in Charleston, North Carolina. The play’s events are fictionalized accounts of a conversation between governor Nikki Haley and two lawmakers, one white and one black. The play discusses issues like racism and violence in the aftermath of the shooting. There will be a talkback with the playwright and others involved after the reading. “The Fruit Stand� will also be staged as a part of University Theatre’s showcase of student-written plays in March, so this reading at the JSMA will serve as a sneak peek of what’s to come.

FREE SPEECH ON CAMPUS: A CHALLENGE FOR OUR TIMES 4:00 p.m. William W. Knight Law Center, 1515 Agate St., Eugene, OR 97403 We live today in an era where students often demand censorship, and universities, afraid to offend their students, surrender academic freedom to charges of offense. What has brought about this confluence of events?

Can such an approach to academic discourse be reconciled with the central mission of higher education to promote robust discourse, deliberation, and disagreement?

In this lecture, Professor Geoffrey R. Stone explores these questions, examines the history and vulnerability of academic freedom, and offers thoughts on how universities should reconcile their fundamental commitment to free and robust discourse with the equally fundamental need to nurture a community that values civility and mutual respect.

larger, 13-year residence hall update. The housing department’s plan with Bean seeks to create continuity between neighboring dorms. The plan will cost about $40 million, which students will partially fund.

According to Schmidt, the renovation will seek to unify Bean Hall by adding additional study spaces, classrooms and faculty apartments. One of the focal points of the project will be creating a centralized entry point to the entire complex. Most of the furniture will be replaced, the halls will be repainted with brighter colors and an elevator will be added near the new front entrance.

The much maligned bathrooms will also be redesigned with increased privacy and gender inclusiveness in mind. With the new layout of bathrooms, Schmidt noted that floors may no longer be gender restricted, but no decision has been reached.

“We’re trying to be as affordable as we possibly can be with the construction, thinking of students and how much they spend to stay on campus, and at the same time trying to really create a jewel,” Schmidt said. “Right now, we have GSH, which is this brand new construction, and literally across the street you have Bean that is just very much not.”

For those who lived there, like UO sophomore Jake Perris, the discomfort of its rugged conditions doesn’t matter as much as the community it forged. He remembers the ability to walk down the hall at any point and greet anyone.

“Just knock on the door if it wasn’t open — pretty much everyone would let you in,” Perris said.

Bean Hall may be entirely unrecognizable by the time renovations are complete, but decades of residents will recall its unpleasant charm.

“It was truly awful, but everyone was in it together,” Perris said.

⚡ SPORTS Oregon club rowing reaches 2 million meters in annual‘Erg-A-Thon’ ➡ COLE

KUNDICH, @CKUNDICH

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Oregon club rowing team is one of the most storied programs on campus. However, raising the necessary funds to maintain equipment and send athletes to different races across the country can present challenges.

This past Saturday, the team hosted its annual “Erg-A-Thon” to raise awareness of the program while engaging with students and members of the community.

“Having the support of the community is so special to us,” team president Hali Meyer said.

“Being able to show people what we’re passionate about and share that experience with them is very rewarding.”

Last year, the Erg-A-Thon successfully hit its goal of rowing 4.2 million meters — the distance it takes to get to Georgia, where the national championships are located. However, the high target goal required the event running late. Additionally, some members of the team rowed over 50,000 meters, which sidelined them from practice that next week.

On Saturday, the team successfully reached 2 million meters, this year’s goal. Overall, the team rowed 2,126,324 meters.

“It’s great to have others helping us out, including some alumni,” junior Sherman Tran said.

Those alumni contributed 550,190 meters to help the team reach its goal.

“You’re all pushing yourselves to your physical limits,” said sophomore Leslie Smith. “It’s really awesome to

see so many people that come and support us.”

Each member of the team averaged around 30,000 meters in the event and, according to Meyer, the team raised about $1,600 on Saturday. The Erg-A-Thon also gives the team a publicity boost.

“We are hoping to spend the money on members who do not have the funds to pay for travel to regattas in the spring, as well as some repairs for our boats,” said Meyer.

When it comes to finances, the team faces unique challenges. The Ducks compete against Division I schools in the Pac-12 Championships but don’t receive funding comparable to their opponents. Costs like airfare, hotels and gasoline add up quickly, creating a major obstacle.

“It’s a hard sport, because dues get to be pretty high,” said Smith. “We don’t want to limit students who can’t join because they can’t afford it.”

For the second straight year, the event was held on the midtown courts at the Student Recreation Center. Dozens of rowing machines lined the court, and anyone who wanted to row was allowed to help meet the goal of 2 million meters.

“We’re really grateful for all the support we get,” said Smith. “The Erg-A-Thon in general — we get the attention and it attracts people to us.”

The program continues to focus on building a successful program accessible for students.

“Being a team that is student-run allows us to realize our potential and take pride in our accomplishments,” said Meyer.

Who will replace All-American Cheridan Hawkins in the pitcher’s circle?

Oregon softball’s program is in the midst of a remarkable run. The Ducks have reeled off four consecutive Pac-12 titles while advancing to the Women’s College World Series in two of those seasons.

Coincidentally, Oregon’s championship run began when pitcher Cheridan Hawkins stepped onto campus. Hawkins, a three-time Pac-12 pitcher of the year and twotime all-American, graduated last spring. Now Oregon must make up for Hawkins’ dominant stats, which were 24 wins and 174 innings last year.

The fight to replace Hawkins’ innings comes down to a two-person battle: freshmen Miranda Elish and Maggie Balint.

“The both of them [Elish and Balint] are two of the most competitive pitchers I’ve been around,” Oregon head coach Mike White said. “And they’re really going to push each other more than we could push them.”

Elish enrolled at Oregon as the more-touted high school player.

She’s the consensus No. 1 recruit in the nation — from Crown Point, Indiana — and went 15-2 as a senior in high school with a 0.41 ERA. She’s a dominant type of pitcher who likes to throw the ball with a lot of northsouth movement.

“Miranda throws very hard and we’ve really worked on her rise ball, getting true spin on it because at that level [high school], she used to just throw it by people,” White said. “She’s really excited and I think she just can’t wait to get out there.”

Battling Elish for the innings is Balint, the No. 4 recruit in the nation.

From West Grove, Pennsylvania, Balint is a three-time state player of the year — same as Elish. As a senior, she went 24-4 with a 0.52

ERA but didn’t really land on softball recruiting radar until later in her high school career.

Balint differs from Elish in the fact that she’s more of a east-west type of pitcher, relying on craftiness rather than speed to record outs.

“Maggie has been a good surprise,” White said. “She has the screwballcurveball combination going on, so it’ll be very interesting to see how she does.”

Elish and Balint both saw their first action in Oregon uniforms when the Ducks competed in the Kajikawa Classic last weekend in Arizona.

Balint was the star of the weekend, going 4-0 with a team-leading 19.2 innings pitched. Although she gave up a total of six runs, only one of them was earned. She also struck out 33 of the 79 batters she faced and finished with a 0.36 ERA. Elish struggled out of the gate.

Although she went 1-0, she allowed six runs in nine innings. Even with the mixed results, White expects Elish to play a big role as the season progresses.

With sophomore Megan Kleist also expected to pick up more than her 127.2 innings thrown last year, it would seem the Ducks are going with a three-headed monster to help replace the departed Hawkins.

“I think we all complement each other really well,” Elish said.

“We’re similar pitchers but we’re all different.”

White said each pitcher brings something unique.

“They’re very competitive,” White said. “The three M’s we call them; Maggie, Miranda and Megan. Each one brings something a little different to the table that will make it difficult for our opponents.”
