đ&#x;”Ś NEWS SOJC’s 2017 Portland Senior Experience cancelled due to budget cuts ➥ FRANKIE
UO students in a new group called No Lost Generation lend a hand to refugees
BENITEZ, @0ITSFRANKIE0
As part of ongoing budget cuts, the University of Oregon has cancelled the journalism school’s Portland Senior Experience internship program for this fall. The program will be back in spring 2018, according to Pat Curtin, associate dean for undergraduate affairs. The Portland Senior Experience, or PDXSX, is offered to students in their last term at the School of Journalism and Communication. The program offers academic credit as well as on the job training. According to the PDXSX blog, more than 75 percent of all participants had internships extended or were offered fulltime employment upon graduation. The program is available to students in all four majors in the SOJC: public relations, media studies, advertising and journalism. More than 225 students have received internships through this program, and most of the interns are paid. The program accepts around 25 to 35 students
each cycle and runs every fall and spring. In addition to cancelling PDXSX this fall, the SOJC cut Programs Director Josh Netzer’s hours in order to save money. Netzer was in charge of coordinating the program. Curtin explained that because the classes offered during the internship often only have two to three students, the SOJC can’t fund the program this term. The program will be retooled so that it will be covered by the new budget and Curtin is confident the program will be offered to students next spring. In April, the SOJC announced that five nontenure faculty would be laid off. Every department on campus is slashing its budget due to a number of factors. The state of Oregon held funding for higher education this year, a move administrators say is effectively a cut to funding, and as a result UO has made cuts in nearly every department and still remains about $8.8 million in debt.

A new student group on the University of Oregon campus is aiming to take on a large project with big impact. The group is called No Lost Generation. They’re attempting to help refugees of Middle Eastern countries who currently struggle to find a home when theirs has been destroyed by war. Since last fall, the group’s members have set their sights on improving the lives of as many refugees as they can. Its current project is to create five full scholarships with tuition waivers. These would be awarded to admitted applicants who have United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees approved refugee status. “I think it’s been really motivating for us just thinking about how there are people who are just like us,� said Harley Emery, a codirector for NLG. “We are in similar situations, education wise, but [they] have had a war come in the middle of their paths to success in life.� NLG has been working with refugees in the Eugene community and members were inspired by hearing their stories. Its goal is to have enough money raised through fundraising to bring at least one refugee student to the University of Oregon next year. “We believe that everyone

should have equal access to education, disregarding factors like race, gender or religion,� said Maria Pervova, Emery’s co-director for NLG. So far, NLG has gained a great deal of support from many departments at UO and from Eugene. That support from university faculty and other student groups has helped NLG to gain support and awareness for their cause. NLG is a smaller branch of an international organization that was created by United Nations High High Comissioner for Refugees; there are close to 50 different branches across the country. “We have a petition with almost 2,000 signatures at this point,� Emery said. “[And] we’ve had quite a few departments officially endorse us. The political science department, international studies, geography.� The refugees would apply to the university through the same process as any other student, and the potential money going to these scholarships comes solely from fundraising, so none of it would come out of student tuition or other fees. Facing challenges A big problem that NLG faces is the amount they need to fundraise if they have to pay the same tuition as international students.

“It’ll depend on if they accept our proposal to have these scholarships go toward in-state tuition rates instead of what international students pay,� Emery said. “Our main argument is that these students don’t have a country that they belong to at this point because they’re refugees, so they’re stateless people.� Momo Wilms-Crowe is a first year student and NLG’s outreach coordinator. “It’s cool to be part of a club that’s doing something that’s super tangible,� she said. Currently, NLG has focused on refugees from the Middle East but would love to include other regions as well once they gain more momentum. Refugees from Central America have also been on their radar, giving the group future aspirations. For now, NLG wants to get their scholarship in front of administrators, which they’ll be working on in the upcoming weeks. They’ve currently raised $10,000, and hope to at least double that number. Group members are currently holding a crowdfunding effort to chip away at their goal. “We need to keep going,� said Pervova. “We don’t want these awful cycles of refugees staying in poverty to last forever.�

It’s that time of year again when walking down 13th Avenue means wafting smells of curly fries, cotton candy and sizzling hot dogs overwhelm your sense of smell on the way to class. With week 6 comes the spring ASUO Street Faire, drawing in students with delicious food, a majority of which is made by local vendors. According to ASUO Executive Special Events Director Nicole Curtis, who has the final say in organizing the event, the Street Faire is a legacy event that continues to bring in some of the same vendors each year, including one vendor who remembers attending as far back as the 1980s. “We want to be able to bring students to the community and have the community come to campus,� Curtis said. “We have vendors that people come back for every year.� Despite the value of building a strong community of vendors, Curtis said it’s important to bring new companies to the fair. Some of the new booths include 22 Below, an innovative ice cream shop, and Steam ‘n’ Spice, a local Asian restaurant. Curtis also said bringing a wide variety of vendors was important to her in organizing this year’s fair. From Peruvian food to funnel cakes, the options are extensive, but luckily for college students, the food doesn’t have to be overly expensive. There are plenty of items for around $10. “If I had 10 dollars to spend at the fair, I’d definitely get one of those cheesecakes dipped in chocolate,� Curtis said. Other students may have different tastes. There are options under $10 for vegetarians, sugar-lovers, fried food fans and more.The Street Faire will be on campus until Friday at 6 p.m. Here’s a list of some of the best, and affordable, options to buy at the fair for every student’s taste.
Best ways to spend less than $10 at the spring ASUO Street Faire Best food items at the street faire for $10 or less if: You’re craving something fried: Multiple vendors: Elephant Ear $5 A staple fair food, elephant ears are the perfect indulgence, combining deep fried dough with cinnamon and sugar bliss. Because elephant ears are less popular around the country and can even be tricky to find in Oregon, the Street Faire is the perfect place to get your cinnamon-sugar fix before heading home for the summer. Other Options: Mountain High Curly Fries: $7 curly fries Multiple vendors: Funnel Cake $5

Spring Student Dance Concert (1484 University St.), 8 p.m., students/seniors $8, general admission $12
One of the drawbacks of the quarter system at the University of Oregon is not being home in time for Mother’s Day like many of our semester system friends. However, one option is to invite your mom up to Eugene this weekend for a Mother’s Day 5k at Alton Baker Park. The race is sponsored by Parenting Now!, which provides parenting education and support to families with young children in the local Eugene-Springfield area. The event starts near the Duck Pond, passes by Autzen Stadium and the Willamette River before ending back near the Duck Pond. It starts at 9 a.m. and refreshments can be enjoyed at the finish line. It’s a family-friendly event, so dads and siblings are also welcome to join in on the fun-filled morning.
The University of Oregon’s dance program will presen a spring performance in the Gerlinger Annex’s Dougherty Dance Theatre as a culmination of the year’s work from multiple advanced student dancers. Each piece presented during the evening’s shows will be both choreographed and performed by students. The concert itself is produced entirely by students from the program and the show will highlight a range of diverse works from these advanced dancers. The performance is open to all students, faculty and the general public. Tickets to the concert are available in advance from the UO Ticket Office in the EMU or can be purchased at the door.

Dogs at the Duck Nest (EMU, Duck Nest, Rm 041), 11 a.m. It is quite difficult to find someone who doesn’t like cuddling with lovable puppies. PAAWS, a Eugene-based support and networking organization, partners with the University of Oregon to bring therapy dogs to campus. For multiple Saturdays during spring term, students will be able to unwind by wrestling with a playful pup or enjoying the positivity that radiates from the loyal animals. Therapy dogs can be incredibly helpful for anxiety, so getting unconditional love and comfort from some furry friends will be a refreshing and energizing outlet for UO students. These dogs will vary in breed, size and age, but all share the ability to bring peace to a hectic end of the term.

Professor C.W. Anderson lecture on Data Journalism (Allen Hall room 141), 6 p.m.
Paying tribute to a band as sacred to rock as Led Zeppelin is harder than it sounds. Zepparella, an allfemale Led Zeppelin tribute band, has what it takes. Formed in the 2000s by the drummer, known simply as Clementine, the group brings relentless musicality to every one of their shows, capturing Zeppelin’s spirit while making the music their own. Fellow members Anna Kristina (vocals), Gretchen Menn (guitar) and Nila Minnerok (bass) exhibit enough onstage chemistry to make their performances endlessly entertaining. Armed with “the desire to incorporate the vocabulary of their heroes into their own,� Zepparella continues to tour across the U.S. and abroad, using Zeppelin’s mythic style of metal to bring audiences to their feet. With hundreds of shows and two live albums under its belt, this band is sure to entertain Zeppelin fans of all ages.
College of Staten Island Assistant Professor of media and culture, W.C. Anderson, will discuss the history of data journalism as part of the School of Journalism and Communication’s demystifying media seminar series. The talk will mostly focus on his soon-to-be released research findings titled “The Apostles of Certainty: Data Journalism and the Politics of Doubt.� Anderson, who considers himself an ethnographer and historian, studies how the rapid pace of technological advancements affect the economy, the news, journalism and culture. He is currently making stops at several universities on the West Coast to speak about his studies and findings. Along with teaching, researching and presenting lectures, Anderson is also a published author. He has either authored or helped contribute to four books, which all focus on the everchanging landscape of journalism.

UO professor Ron Jude’s ➡ E M I LY
O L S O N , @ E M I LYO L S O N 9 5 1
Ron Jude bought his first camera at age 13, “literally out of a Sears catalog,” he said. For the University of Oregon professor, an internationally-acclaimed photography career all started with goofing around in a high school dark room. He made photos to document his friends, muscle cars and the woods where he grew up in rural Idaho. It wasn’t until his time at Boise State University that he began taking his work seriously. He pursued a philosophy major, but realized that he could explore the same ideas through photography. Ask him about his work today, and he won’t hesitate to offer a line of philosophical inquiry. “With all media, but photography especially, people are dying to see metaphors,” he said, grabbing a large photo from a $5,000 inkjet printer in his studio. “What does that trophy mean?” he asked of the out-of-focus object in the photo’s center, which stands like a sliver of shadow against a sky blue wall. “Well it’s a trophy,” Jude said. “It means nothing. That’s all there is to it.” The image is part of a portfolio he’s revisiting in preparation for his latest photobook. Set for a May 19 release at The Photographers’ Gallery in London, the book includes interior still-life images of public schools — empty, eerie and thematically esoteric. The collection is titled “Nausea,” in direct reference to Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1938 novel by the same name, which is regarded as a cornerstone of existentialist thought. Jude first read the novel as an MFA candidate at Louisiana State University. The themes of the book hit him like an epiphany, influencing the way he’s created and displayed images since. “It’s been the same idea over and over again in different ways,” he said. “I never quite figure it out, which is the fun part.” For Jude, capturing, finding and arranging photos offers no metaphorical meaning, no relief from the existential questions that follow him. But artistic expression serves as a way to search. His work has been exhibited in over 50 notable galleries, located everywhere from South Korea (the Daugeu Cultural Center) to New York (Roth/Horowitz Gallery). His photos have been reprinted in publications like The New Yorker and Harper’s Magazine. But his favorite way to present the images he finds and creates is in a photobook. “It’s physically a different way of interacting with pictures,” Jude said. In the threedimensional space of a gallery, an audience can navigate in any direction or at any pace. “You don’t know whether they’re going to start
here or here or here,” Jude said. Photobooks, on the other hand, are designed to be viewed from beginning to end, allowing the artist better control of the structure and sequence, embedding a narrative arc. The medium has become popular among avant-garde and academic photography circles in the past decade. The rise of digital technology made designing and printing the high-quality books easier. And, with the advent of an internet that inundates us with images, “the book became a really purposeful way to reduce the noise and distill all that stuff down to something legible,” Jude said. Jude self-published his first photobook, “Alpine Star,” in 2006. The collection of images was recently on display at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and was originally culled from The Star News, the weekly newspaper of rural McCall, Idaho, where Jude grew up. A long-distance subscriber since 1995, Jude found it interesting that the paper lacked a professional photographer. Community members send in their own snapshots, resulting in a jumble of images low in technical merit, but high in open-ended narrative potential. “Context is what makes them mine — how I selected them; how I arranged them; the sort of world that I created,” Jude said. The images, all sepia newsprint, vary in shape, size and subject matter. In the book, they shift between quirkiness (a trio of children sporting trash bag ponchos) and striking depth (a group of teenagers circled around a flagpole in prayer). To paraphrase The Incoherent Light critic Darren Campion, it’s an uncanny antinarrative, irrationally poetic. Unlike his additional eight photobooks, “Alpine Star” arrived in boxes at Jude’s doorstep. He distributed the 500 books himself, at lectures and niche bookstores, often giving them away for free. Today, used copies sell on Amazon.com from $80 to $300. While Jude now publishes with the esteemed arts press MACK, he and his wife, Danielle Mericle, manage their own photobook press. Running A-Jump Books has helped Jude master the logistics of photobook design and distribution. But the artistic merit of the medium has proven most valuable to his art. “Now, it’s like every time I do a body of work, I first come to understand it in the book form,” he said. He’s helping students at UO do the same through a course specifically devoted to photobook production, which is rare among college art programs.
“It teaches you to think about the relationship of images,” said first-year MFA candidate Daniel Miller, who applied to the program after finding Jude’s work online. “That’s probably the biggest and hardest thing to tackle — sequencing images. You take all these various parts and make something new out of them. To make something that means anything in the end is tough.” Jude’s style has been compared to William Eggleston and Paul Graham, who similarly capture the ethereal banality of everyday life. But if there’s something unique about him, “it’s a stubborn sense of the esoteric. I’m interested in a fairly specific, philosophical thing about images,” Jude said. “I turned that corner 25 years ago, and I’ve just kept going down that road.” He admits that photography as a medium “can be so maddening. I hear people lament its limitations,” he said. “But I actually think you can play with that. You can use those frustrations to your advantage.” For Jude, that meant learning to balance his own introspective, existential study with the ultimate reality of how audiences react to a work. His first big exhibition, displayed in 1992 at The Photographers’ Gallery in London, came right after he completed graduate school and began teaching as an adjunct professor at a few institutions in Atlanta. The exhibit’s curator, David Chandler, described it as “returning to the scene of a crime — peering through windows, doorways and iron grilles into deserted rooms and corridors.” He’s returning to the collection again, 25 years later. It’s the same archive of school still-life images from which he’s constructing the photobook “Nausea.” “I’m at a crossroads,” he said of his decision to approach the archive with an entirely new edit and structure. “I feel like something else is going to happen soon, which I’m in the process of figuring out.” Like the first time around, audiences attempting to see metaphors in Jude’s images will be disappointed. Unlike the first time around, however, Jude better understands the personal function of his work, what it means to him as an artist and individual. It’s existential thought in its most fundamental form, focused on searching for meaning and seeing an inherent value in not finding it. “Ultimately, that’s the meaning,” he said. “There is no meaning.” Emily Olson is a freelance writer for the Emerald.

OPINION
Runners make their way down Hayward Field in the final stretch of the Eugene Marathon. (Adam Eberhardt)
Just keep running I used to live along the route of the Boston marathon but I never went to cheer. I don’t like crowds, not even the sound of the crowds outside my apartment on marathon day. That was before I moved to “Tracktown USA� — before I realized I’d been a runner my entire life without ever putting on sneakers. So when my alarm went off at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning, I threw on sweats and Asics (and a lot of vaseline) and headed out for a day of pretending I don’t hate crowds.
My first run was an accident. My roommate, a man who says things like, “Can you drive me to my first marathon of the season?� suggested I grab some shorts on our way out the door. He thought they might have a 5k I could walk. Some 16 hours later, at the butt crack of dawn, I found myself standing in front of a registration table and pulling money out of my Velcro wallet. I was a bit short and one of the volunteers — thank you, Ben Cardenas, wherever you are — pitched in.
IS NOW IS NOW ACCEPTING ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS APPLICATIONS
That’s the story of how I ended up running a half marathon one deceptively serene morning in Idaho – having never run before in my life. That was almost exactly a year ago and I’ve run more than a half dozen half marathons since. I’ve also run seven marathons, six 50k trail races and finished my first 50-miler last month. There were some others but those were the highlights. At one point in these adventures, I told my cardiologist that I didn’t have an off-switch and she asked me to install a dimmer. I have not done so. But running started a long time before that first race. For me, it started with PTSD and the symptoms that go along with it. Things like debilitating depression, insomnia and the kind of nightmares that follow you throughout the day. Running was an obsession long before I had a place for it or a pair of proper shoes. Running, before I named it and saw it take shape, was how I put one foot in front of the other every day and somehow didn’t die. I should have. But there was running. There is running. The Eugene Marathon didn’t necessitate a 4 a.m. wake up call but I was volunteering at one of the shuttle stops beforehand. Actually, I was participating in the entire event as a volunteer. I’d asked the coordinator if I could “sweep� the race — going at the pace of the last runner and ensuring everyone gets through the course. She was elated by the offer and surprised someone was interested in volunteering to essentially walk a marathon. She didn’t know how many times people had done that for me, literally or metaphorically. I met up with my last runner about 10 miles in and stayed with him for the duration. He was 68 and running his first marathon after only deciding to bump up
from the half to the full two days earlier. There was something familiar in that. We talked about life and love and the pursuit of happiness. We spent more than 15 miles engaged in accepting one another and embracing the journey before us. There was no discussion of political leaders or election tampering; when it comes to truly knowing another human being, those things simply aren’t important. Near the end of the race, he asked me why I was compelled to do these runs, the ultras through swamps and mountain trails and the marathons I finish even though I’m usually last. I told him what I will tell you: I run because I can’t fix my life. I can’t take away the damage of my past. I can’t change the dice rolled by the gods on my behalf. But I can do this: I can choose to keep putting one foot in front of the other. He understood that better than most. I know I normally write about politics and constitutional law and the world at large, but this is too important for me to spin some b.s. and tell you it’s beautiful. Life is messy. Life is hard. Everyone needs a little bit of running – by whatever name you choose to call it. Call it yoga or sudoku or Netflix marathons of “Bojack Horseman.� Call it baking bread or reading novels or swimming in lakes on cool afternoons. Call it whatever you want, but find that thing and hold on. Because things don’t always get worse. Because depression lies. Because there are more books to read and more mountains to climb and, well, because running. There is always running, here in “Tracktown U.S.A.�
