Julia Ducournau has crafted a violent, sexually provocative thriller made with impressive technical grace with ‘Raw.’
‘Raw’ uses blood and guts to create an UNNERVING portrait of adolescence ➥ DANA
ALSTON, @ALSTONDALSTON

Coming-of-age films are rarely surprising. While classics like “The Breakfast Clubâ€? and more recent successes like “The Edge of Seventeenâ€? demonstrate the genre’s potential, it’s rare to find a film under that umbrella that’s truly unpredictable. Finding ways to mix up the formula is a task only the most unique and exciting directors can accomplish. Enter “Raw,â€? a French-Belgian horror flick that doubles as a meditation on adolescence. Director Julia Ducournau has crafted a violent, sexually provocative thriller made with impressive technical grace. The film made waves at the Cannes Film Festival last year for sending squeamish audience members to the door. But make no mistake, “Rawâ€? has plenty on its mind regarding addiction, youth and what it means to grow up. The film’s story is unique enough to keep an audience guessing. The plot follows Justine (Garance Marillier), a young girl from a family of strict vegetarians who arrives at veterinary school to start college. Her roommate Adrien (Rabah NaĂŻt Oufella) and Adrien’s sister Alex (Ella Rumpf) greet her, along with a gossiping, hazing student body. When the upperclassmen force Justine to eat a raw rabbit kidney, she begins to crave flesh at an alarming rate. As her hunger becomes more insatiable, she contends with romantic feelings, drug experimentation and increasingly extreme parties.

We make events better.
“Raw� has more in common with shock-horror films like “Saw� than one might expect from the film’s setting and characters, and Ducournau manages to sell the violence via an eye-popping visual palette. “Raw� may be the work of a novice filmmaker (this is Ducournau’s featurelength debut as both writer and director), but she displays remarkable technical chops and artistry behind the camera. The imagery from Belgian cinematographer Ruben Impensi is grounded and gorgeous, while editor Jean-Christophe Bouzy stitches it all together with a capable eye. “Raw’s� concept and execution are original, but while the film has plenty of thematic material, almost all of it feels heavyhanded. Ducournau directs scenes for maximum thematic importance, often at the expense of nuance. The result is a film that looks and feels important to a fault. There are plenty of genuinely frightening moments, but the film looks and sounds more concerned with proving its worth as a ‘capital-F’ Film than entertaining its audience. That said, “Raw� is both unique and scary enough to make up for its minor flaws. Its graphic violence and inconsistent tone may prove unwieldy for some, but the performances and Ducournau’s skill as a relatively new director make it an unpredictable and frightening experience.

Rapper Ab-Soul will perform at WOW Hall on Saturday April 15. (Courtesy of David Chachere)
Whitney at WOW Hall
Moon Hooch at Hi-Fi Music Hall Saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen, and drummer James Muschler make up this trio, all of whom studied at New York’s New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. But Moon Hooch ain’t easy-listening jazz. The group formed after their busking turned New York subway stations into impromptu raves with their stupefying and ingenious take on EDM, electronica and rock with volatile stops, starts and bold change-ups. Check out their Tiny Desk concert to hear what it sounds like when a saxophone is choked with a road construction sign, or just catch them at Hi-Fi. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 on the day of the show.

Diet Cig will be bringing spring to Eugene’s DIY venue, The Boreal, this month. Alex Luciano’s fuzzy guitars and wailing voice crash into drummer Noah Bowman’s beats like waves crashing onto the shore. Coming from the same New York scene as lo-fi acts Frankie Cosmos and Porches, Diet Cig is sure to satisfy anyone looking for some indie-pop in their life this spring. The two-piece group is touring in support of its first full-length album, “Swear I’m Good At This.� Though the band’s East Coast upbringing (look to songs such as the snarky “Harvard�) may be unfamiliar to west coast students, its rambunctious and fun sound will make up for it. The allages show starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10 at the door. Eugene’s Shisho and Lisa Prank open.

Indie-folk band Whitney will make a stop at WOW Hall in a couple weeks. Last year was a big one for the band, which is comprised of former members of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Smith Westerns. Whitney released its debut album, the hazy and fun “Light Upon the Lake,� and performed at a slew of festivals, including South by Southwest.

Daniel Tosh at Matthew Knight Arena
Life During Wartime at Hi-Fi Music Hall
Controversial comedian and “Tosh.0� host Daniel Tosh has been deliberately offending audiences since the late ‘90s. Nothing is off limits for the comic, whose topics range from international politics to rape. Tosh is a frequent subject of debate among both comedians and audiences. In 2012, a rape joke aimed at a female audience member made headlines and resulted in an apology. “I’m not a racist or misogynistic person,� Tosh explained in an interview, “but I do find those [kinds of] jokes funny, so I say them.� Tosh will bring his “college_tour2017,� to Matthew Knight Arena. Expect a politically incorrect set that’s sure to both offend and entertain. Tickets start at $45.
The real-life David Byrne has maintained a relatively low profile in recent years; luckily, we have Portland’s own Talking Heads tribute band, Life During Wartime, who have committed themselves to performing the art-rock group’s landmark show depicted in the 1984 rock-doc “Stop Making Sense.� The lively show features a young Byrne doing aerobics, calisthenics, flailing around his rubbery limbs and jogging around the stage. It’s exhausting just watching him. Feel the Byrne at this Hi-Fi show. Tickets for this 21+ show are just $12, or $15 on the day of the show.

Eugene-native Silas Baxter-Neal has spent more time on his skateboard than he has walking on the ground, or so he claims. The professional skater said that ever since his older brother gave him his first board as a 6-year-old, he hasn’t stopped skateboarding. The first skatepark Baxter-Neal ever skated at was Amazon Park, which is minutes south of the University of Oregon campus. He immediately fell in love with the park and what he calls an alternative community of outcasts. “Every free moment I had I was on my skateboard,� Baxter-Neal said. “As soon as I was done with my homework I would go to the park and stay there until dark.� There he learned to ollie and landed his first kickflip, but it wasn’t long before he moved on to trying more complicated tricks like varial flips and 360 pop-shoves.

For people like Baxter-Neal and countless others around the world, skateboarding provides a positive and healthy outlet for a community usually excluded from mainstream society. For them, skateboarding is much more than just a hobby or pastime — it’s a way of life. At age 16, Baxter-Neal earned his first sponsorship from a local skate shop called Boardsports and just six years later he went pro. He didn’t always want to be a pro skater though. He played traditional sports like soccer and basketball when he was younger, but he quickly lost interest as he grew older. “It started getting really competitive,� BaxterNeal said. “I just wanted to have fun as a kid. So I was drawn more to skateboarding because it was challenging, but I wasn’t competing against anyone else. It was just me trying to get better at skateboarding and trying to learn new things. The only competition was with myself.�
Like Baxter-Neal, local skater Connor Robinson was first attracted to the sport because he could do it alone. “You can do it all the time,� Robinson said. “You don’t need a group to [skateboard]. It’s nice to have a group to do it, but you can do it by yourself too.� For many, skateboarding is a mode of individual expression that takes time and dedication to perfect. In 2014, Eugene’s Parks and Recreation department opened the Washington-Jefferson Skatepark to the public under the I-105 bridge. The park — which at 23,000 square-feet is the largest undercover skatepark in the nation — was built by Dreamland Skateparks. Based in Lincoln City, Dreamland has built more than 100 parks worldwide. Some of its most famous parks include the Adriatic Bowl in Fano, Italy and the 2016 Van’s World Championship skatepark in Malmo, Sweden. “It’s awesome to be on this end of skateboarding,�
said Dreamland team member Joey Martin. “It’s amazing to help people achieve their own personal goals.” Martin says that for any community to thrive, it needs a meeting place to do what it wants to do. A skateboarding community can’t be healthy without a skatepark. “There’s a lot of good people who are sharing ideas together,” Martin added. “And a skatepark becomes a place where those ideas can be a reality.” Skateparks often provide a sanctuary for many, but they also carry some negative assumptions. Baxter-Neal feels that they are widely known for attracting all kinds of illicit behaviors. Many skaters say that it’s almost never the people who are actually skating that are using drugs; usually it’s the people who are just hanging around the parks. In Eugene, many skaters say that the Washington-Jefferson skatepark is routinely patrolled by local law enforcement due to a heightened risk of illegal activities such as vandalism, drug use and assault. While skateparks might carry these associations, they have the same if not lower crime rates as other public parks. In 2009, the Tony Hawk Foundation surveyed 102 law enforcement officers who frequently patrol skateparks in 37 states. The survey showed that almost half of the officers questioned cited a decrease in overall youth crime since a skatepark opened in their area. Despite these negative assumptions, Baxter-Neal says that skateparks fill an important role in communities. “A lot of the time the people who are attracted to skateboarding need a different sort of community that isn’t in the mainstream,” Baxter-Neal said. “Without having skateparks or a skateboarding community, a lot of those people will be drawn in a direction that isn’t so healthy. I think that by having skateparks and a skateboarding community, you’re including a group of people who isn’t usually included.” Local skater Brody Petulla has been to the Washington-Jefferson Skatepark every dry day since he moved to Eugene. He’s familiar with the public’s assumptions about skateboarders. He doesn’t deny that some of them are true, but he says skaters are singled out. Petulla says that there are criminals and drug addicts in all aspects of life,
“but people just like to point out the fact that sometimes those people are the ones holding skateboards.” Martin from Dreamland has been building skateparks for more than 15 years and he agrees with Petulla’s observation. “There’s bad stuff that happens [in skateparks], but that same stuff happens at the tennis courts or other places in the park,” Martin said. “People don’t want to believe it or accept it, but it’s true.” While perceptions are generally negative, Martin says people in Oregon are much more supportive of the skateboarding community. According to him, Oregon has some of the best skateparks in America. People travel from all over the nation to skate the parks that Oregon has to offer. Much of this is thanks to Dreamland, who has built a large portion of the parks across the state, including parks in Portland, Newberg, Astoria and Pendleton. “Oregonians are very supportive of skatepark culture.” Martin said. “We just built a skatepark in Nebraska and it took them five to seven years before they raised enough to get it. And for them, there’s probably not another skatepark anywhere in the same vicinity. We’re super fortunate here in the Pacific Northwest.” Martin says that Oregon supports skate culture better than other communities in the world, but not everybody feels that way. Petulla thinks that skateboarding still has a long way to go before it gets the respect that it deserves. “It took us so fucking long to get [Washington-Jefferson] park,” Petulla said. “So I don’t think that many local governments or even this local government gives a shit about skateboarding. They just think it’s a nuisance.” Whether Eugene supports skateboarding enough is subjective, but the benefits of a community embracing the sport are not. Without the support of local governments to help build skateparks, this often outcasted community can be led down a path that perpetuates the stereotype that skaters are often perceived to be. “The Washington-Jefferson skatepark spent over a million dollars, but you go down there and see how many people use that park and it makes it all worth it,” Martin Said. “People try to put a dollar value on those things, but you just can’t.”

Mia Camuso was supposed to bunt. Instead, she ignored her coach’s sign and hit a walk-off single up the middle to keep Oregon softball’s perfect season going. It was scoreless for seven-and-ahalf innings at Jane Sanders Stadium in the final game of Oregon’s series against Arizona State. But finally in the eighth inning, the drought ended. Oregon won the game in walk-off fashion in its first extra innings game of the year, beating the Sun Devils 1-0 to keep the team’s undefeated campaign alive at 33-0. “I actually kind of messed up. I was supposed to do a sacrifice bunt,” Camuso said. “I knew that I couldn’t leave my teammates out there so I took my best shot at that pitch.” The game had a familiarity to the Ducks’ 1-0 win over BYU on Thursday, when pitchers Maggie Balint and Oregon escaped a pitching duel with the Cougars’ McKenna Bull. This time it was a combination of Megan Kleist and Maggie Balint against Arizona State’s Dale Ryndak. “It was a pitcher’s duel,” head coach Mike White said. “Three pitchers threw really well. Ryndak really kept us off balance.” Megan Kleist returned to the circle after pitching the first 2.2 innings on Saturday in Oregon’s 8-4 win. Freshman pitcher Miranda Elish, who entered in relief of Kleist yesterday, batted ninth in the order today as the Ducks’ designated player.

the bases loaded, but Danica Mercado could not convert the three baserunners to runs as she grounded out to first to end the inning. Arizona State had a loaded bases situation of its own in the fifth but squandered the chance to score with a flyout from Skylar McCarty to Lauren Lindvall kept the game deadlocked at zero. Kleist allowed only four hits and finished the day with four strikeouts and two walks in 7.1 innings. Balint entered in relief with a runner at first and one out. “I think it was her location,” White said. “She came out throwing strikes and that makes it much easier on our defense.” Balint struck out the first batter she faced and got the Ducks safely to the bottom of the seventh thanks to a strong throw from Lilley across the diamond to Camuso to get an out. Oregon could not provide a run in the seventh and the game went to extra innings, the first time this season the Ducks have played beyond seven. The Ducks got out of the top of the eighth unscathed and got the job done in the bottom half of the inning thanks to Camuso’s walk-off single. “We’re hanging tough,” White said. “Our top three hitters didn’t get a hit today. Not very often you get a win when you’re top three hitters don’t get a hit. We found a way, scratched it out.” Oregon takes on Portland State in a double header on Tuesday April 4.
Ducks take fourth place at The Goodwin ➡ ZAK
LASTER, @ZLAST3445
Facing a quick turnaround from its last tournament earlier in the week, the Oregon Ducks men’s golf team took fourth place in The Goodwin, a threeday, 24-team tournament that concluded on Saturday. A step up in competition, the Ducks saw eight ranked teams, six of which were ranked in the top 28 according to Golfstat. Stanford, the hosts, took first place to lead all Pac-12 participants and was the only team to finish the tournament under-par. USC took third and Washington finished fifth. Ryan Gronlund led the Oregon starting five, shooting two-under par. He finished two strokes behind BYU’s Rhett Rasmussen, who won the individual title with a four-under par. Gronlund was the only Duck player to finish the tournament under par. Norman Xiong tied for eighth place with one-over par and Wyndham Clark scored four-over par for a 13th place tie. Edwin Yi and Kevin Geniza rounded out the startingfive with double digit over-par scores. “We played well with the exception of the first day, but it was a good experience to play at
a tough golf course against great competition,” head coach Casey Martin said in a news release after the event. Being part of The Goodwin in Stanford, California, is special for head coach Casey Martin, as it is named after Wally Goodwin, Martin’s college coach. “It brings back a lot of fond memories for me,” Martin said. Colorado and UCLA tied for 15th place with a team score of 44over par. Oregon State finished tied for 17th with a 47-over par. Individually, only six golfers finished underpar. The three from the Pac-12 were Stanford’s Franklin Huang (-3), Gronlund and USC’s Sean Crocker (-1). Next up for the Ducks is the last regular season event of the season. The two-day Western Intercollegiate will get underway on April 9 in Santa Cruz, California.

underrated ways to make the most of college
With the sun shining bright, summer break being just around the corner and parties and shows every night, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important during spring term. Studying is less appealing when the river is warm and friends are calling, and school tends to slip into the backseat as students rush into summer. But this year, instead of checking out early, try to finish off strong. Remember why we’re here in the first place: College can shape us into capable, efficient and downright impressive individuals. Here are five ways you can kick your college game up a notch this spring term and build skills that will remain useful long after college. 1. Class participation Professors pose questions to the class as a way to break the monotony of a lecture; they engage students and get them to analytically think through the material and reach their own conclusions. Don’t be afraid of this opportunity; embrace it! It’s a great way to build speaking skills, confidence and rapport with your professor. Make it your goal to raise your hand for at least half the questions asked. No one expects you to have the perfect answer. Just try to come up with something substantial. Listen to the other students’ responses and try to come up with a comment that builds off what they said. Class participation helps you understand the material better and teaches you to think on your feet. 2. Do the assigned readings It is astonishingly easy to skim — even skip — assigned readings and still do solid in a class, or at least think you’re doing solid until
finals come and you have to speed read three books. After discovering this convenient hole in the lecture system it’s tempting to push readings off. Don’t. You should have picked this class because something about it interested you, so take the time to actually learn the material. This will help you retain the lessons longer, and you’ll be surprised how much more you get out of lectures. You could even keep a list of authors you enjoy, something to go back to when looking for a good book. 3. Find a nerdy buddy Study groups are a popular resource for students, but too often these turn into one person carrying the group. This kind of stuff. many times doesn’t induce deeper thought about the class. Instead, try finding a friend to geek out with: someone who raises their hand and seems to be interested in the subject. Introduce yourself, sit next to them and ask if they’d like to get a cup of joe and discuss the material. Casual conversation gives you a chance to digest the class as part of your everyday life and dig deeper into concepts that interest you. Not only will your friend serve the role of a study group, but it’s the equivalent of studying over a long period as opposed to cramming before an exam. You’ll remember the lessons longer and appreciate the class more.
