REPORTED ON-CAMPUS RAPE HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED, 5 THINGS KATE BROWN WANTS TO DO FOR STUDENTS IF SHE WINS REELECTION ACCORDING TO UO BY ERIN CAREY • TWITTER @ERINLCAREY
When Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced on Sept. 25 that she would be running for re-election in 2018, she didn’t have much time to celebrate because her campaigning began immediately. Brown has been on the campaign trail since Nov. 9, 2016 after she won her first election for Governor. During Brown’s campaign, Oregon students and some of
their collective concerns have made headway: lawmakers gave tuition waivers to community college students in need, and the state passed environmental protection and the economy grew. On the other hand, tuition has also increased, causing a penny-pinching struggle for some students. Also, stricter federal immigration laws have struck fear into some students. Their dreams of gaining citizenship and working
in the U.S were put in limbo. While Brown’s supporters say she’s had successes, she has also seen resistance from the Republican party on her support of abortion rights, gun control and immigration. She has an approval rating of over 50 percent consistently but will face solid competition for a

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE CHANGES ITS NAME TO SCHOOL OF DESIGN
BY ANDY FIELD TWITTER @ANDYTSUBASAF Reported incidents of on-campus rape more than doubled in 2016, according to an annual university police report released Friday. The University of Oregon blog Around the O announced that the University of Oregon Police Department released this year’s Campus Security and Fire Safety Report. The report states that there were 16 reported incidents of on-campus rape, compared to seven in 2015.

BY FRANKIE BENITEZ • TWITTER @0ITSFRANKIE0 Students walking into Lawrence Hall will see the same halls, seats and chalkboards. What they won’t see is the newly organized inner-workings of the schools that occupy the building. All are invited to the new College of Design’s launch party at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6, in Lawrence Hall to welcome its new name and a new organizational structure. The School of Architecture and Allied Arts was one large school with many departments, offering nearly 30 different programs. The restructure to the College of Design created a college of three smaller, more specialized schools and one independent department. Dean of the College of Design Christoph Lindner led the restructure and said the goal was to prepare the school for the next hundred years. “When we looked at reorganizing, we asked ourselves, ‘Who do we want to be? Where do we want to be in 50 years time, in 100 years time and
then what do we need to do now to put ourselves on a course to achieving that?” he said in an interview with the Emerald. “We are quite unique on the West Coast in our school of arts and design for how many subdisciplines we do. Before, that was all crammed into the smallest category we had — a department. And we’ve expanded that. We’ve said, ‘No, when you do that many things and you do it well, that’s called a school.’ And that’s why we had to become a college — in order to unpack these departments and let them grow into schools.” The new schools are the School of Architecture and Environment, the School of Art and Design and the School of Planning, Public Policy, and Management. The Department of Art and Architecture remains an independent department.

BROWN:
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 2018 election from the Republican party. Brown was the secretary of state in February 2015 when former Gov. John Kitzhaber resigned during a scandal, and Brown stepped up. Here are five things that Brown’s campaign hopes to improve for Oregon students in her aspirations for re-election: 1. Halting tuition hikes During spring and summer, students watched a teeter-totter of tuition increases. The UO Board of Trustees approved a 10.6 percent in-state tuition hike in March, but the state’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission rejected the tuition hike the next month, per Brown’s recommendation. Then, the school appealed the decision and secured the 10.6 percent hike — but the University received a last-minute influx of money from the state, dropping the tuition hike to 6.6 percent after all. According to Brown, the constant uncertainty of being able to afford higher education needs to stop. “I am concerned that Oregon’s students are carrying too much of the financial burden of their own education,� Brown said in an email to the Emerald. “That’s why I worked this year with Oregon’s public universities to decrease proposed tuition hikes and make sure that schools are spending their resources wisely.� This is also a large concern for the university’s student government. Amy Schenk, ASUO president, has made it clear that tuition increases is a primary concern for her team in the upcoming year. 2. Continue to grow Oregon’s economy According to many state economists, Oregon’s job prospects remain strong, and have triggered a tax “kicker� because the tax revenues have exceeded what they originally projected.

Brown signed a bill in August that shields immigration information, and has been very clear on her stance of keeping Oregon as a sanctuary state. Brown understands that this movement of protecting immigrants and minorities needs to keep going — and she relies on the student vote to make sure that happens. “I look forward to earning the support of students and young voters across the state,� Brown said. “In the current troubled political climate, Oregonians need someone they can trust in the governor’s office — someone who will defend our progress on health care access, LGBTQ equality, immigrant rights and reproductive rights.� Brown is also Oregon’s first openly LGBT governor to win an election. 4. Access to information Oregon has had consistent issues when it comes to access to public information. Critics say obtaining public records is a difficult process. Brown understands that and she has tried to make this process easier. On May 9, 2016, a task force assigned by Brown came to Allen Hall to discuss how to make public records requests easier. The governor has moved on the issue since then, with Senate Bill 481, which was signed by the governor on June 22. It will take effect on January 1, 2018.

Brown hopes to keep that growth going in 2018. “Since I became governor, Oregon has added 130,000 jobs to the economy,� Brown wrote. “Our state has the fastest job growth in the country. We need to keep the economy strong and make sure every Oregonian has the opportunity to get ahead and stay ahead.� The availability of jobs is a major concern for many students who face large student loans and uncertainty of being able to pay them after they graduate.
M O N D AY, O C T O B E R 2 , 2 0 1 7
“One thing I’m proud of is the work I’ve done to improve accountability and transparency in state government,� Brown said. “My administration has enacted the most significant public records reform in in forty years. Brown publicly posts all public records requests and their responses online and has hired a staff attorney whose job is to deal with requests. She also posts her weekly calendar online, along with employees’ conflict of interest forms when they’re filed.

5. Maintaining Oregon’s individuality Part of what makes Oregon unique is its ability to be attractive to all types of people who love its inclusiveness and progressive thinking. While the governor has a lot of issues that still need to be addressed and many who oppose her, Brown wants to keep that feeling of progress alive, and wants to be the governor that is able to do that. “Oregon is a special place. Let’s make our state an even better place to live, work and raise a family.�

SCHOOL OF DESIGN: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3
The newly renamed and reorganized College of Design. (Anna Lieberman)
The newly appointed heads of schools are Liska Chan, associate professor of landscape architecture; Laura Vandenburgh, associate professor of art; and Rich Margerum, professor of planning, public policy and management, respectively. Kate Mondloch continues on as the head of the art and architecture department. While the shift may seem like a huge change for students in the college, administrators took care not to disturb the trajectory of students who were enrolled before the shift. “All students will be able to complete the degrees they signed up for. So all change is for incoming and future students.� Lindner said. “We did not want to disrupt anybody’s studies or their experience or their progress.� More than 60 offices were moved over the summer as part of the restructure. Areas with shared interests were moved together to encourage collaboration. “We wanted them to also have physical proximity, not
just academic proximity,� Lindner said. “The one thing that we are actively encouraging is more collaboration—between everything,� Linder added. “Boundaries are there to be broken, and disciplinary boundaries are artificial constructions. They are walls. We want our students and our faculty to feel free to go where their interests take them.� Lindner also encourages collaboration between students, administrators and faculty. Student input as an integral part of the process, he said. In order to remain connected with the interests of students, Lindner teaches two classes per year in the College of Design. “I teach classes so that I can interact with students in a learning environment and just get a sense of the kind of work they’re interested in doing, the sort of career and professional ambitions that they have, what it’s like when professors have to use Canvas,� he said. “I want to know what it’s like in that environment.�
RAPE INCREASES: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 According to Around the O, university law enforcement and Title IX officials believe the increase of reported rape was a result of greater awareness towards sexual assault and “robust local resources� available on campus. “Our campus-wide team is dedicated to raising awareness, providing support and building a culture that rejects sexual misconduct,� Title IX Coordinator and Associate Vice President Darci Heroy stated in Around the O. “That work continues to be reflected in the increased number of students using the university’s resources and often choosing to share information with the university.� Heroy said in the same statement that she hopes that, with a sexual assault reporting policy implemented this month, more students will report on sexual misconduct. The policy, which was approved by UO President Michael Schill and went into effect on Sept. 15, replaced one that required
university employees to report sexual misconduct to Title IX officers and sexual assault support services. The current policy states some university employees act as “confidential employees� and “student-directed employees� who may report information disclosed by a student victim, but only if the student wishes it. The report shows that, of the 16 reported incidents of rape in 2016, 12 were in residential facilities. One reported incident took place at a university-owned or controlled area off-campus. In 2015, six reported rape incidents took place on residential facilities, while another six took at a non-campus facility. One reported incident took place on public property. University police released the report in accordance with the Cleary Act (1990). The act requires all colleges and universities to disclose information about campus crime from the past three years in order to receive federal aid.

đ&#x;”Ś NEWS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OREGON’S NEW DISTRACTED DRIVING LAW BY WILL CAMPBELL • TWITTER @WTCAMPBELL Starting Sunday, you can now be pulled over in Oregon for texting or talking while driving – and the initial fines reach up to $1,000. University of Oregon Police Department spokesman Kelly McIver said the new law is “very tough.â€? “It’s one of those things that everybody does nowadays. They’re tied to their phones or tied to their devices. There’s way too high a percentage of people distracted on the road,â€? he said. Oregon’s new distracted driving law aims to suppress the increasing traffic accidents and deaths tied to texting or talking while driving. A report from the state’s Distracted Driving Task Force found that distracted driving causes one crash every three hours.
UOPD has issued two distracted driving citations stretching back to the beginning of 2016, according to McIver, and those were both tied to DUII arrests. McIver said he expects police to issue more distracted driving tickets after the law comes into effect, and hopes the new law is “a good deterrent and will keep people’s eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.� Penalties: Tickets for first-time offenders will cost between $130 and $1,000 if it doesn’t involve a crash. But with a crash, the offender could be fined up to $2,500. A second, non-crash offense could cost $2,500. A third offense could
cost $6,250 and a year in jail. There are ways to get the fine waived. For a first-time offender, taking a distracted driving course can erase the fine but not the driving offense. Here are some exceptions to the law: If you’re over 18, you can still use a hands-free or built-in interface in your car, and you can only press or swipe those devices. No typing. You need to be parked to use your phone. You can’t be stopped at a light or a stop sign. You can legally use your phone to call 911. Police, firefighters and EMS can use their phones while driving.
Texting continues to be classified as distracted driving in the new law. (Creative Commons)

UO POLICE DEPARTMENT REVAMP
BY CASEY CROWLEY • TWITTER @CASEYCROWLEY55 The University of Oregon Police Department will introduce a new look to their patrol cars and officer uniforms that closely match the University’s colors. One UOPD truck already has a new $3,533 vinyl wrap. The patrol cars will also have a wrap but the look and cost will be slightly different, UO Police Chief Matthew Carmichael said. “If I take this truck onto campus students look and know who I am,â€? Carmichael said. “What we focus on is the community policing aspect for members of our community who do
not feel connected to the police.� The truck is green, gray and yellow with wings that resemble the Duck football team’s uniforms. The UOPD uniforms will be a darker shade of green and will feature a UOPD patch on one of the sleeves Carmichael said. “Something that we have really looked hard at and learned over the course of the last seven or eight years is that our students are just really, really excited about the Duck identity,� UOPD spokesman Kelly McIver said.

OREGON VOLLEYBALL FALLS AT COLORADO BY DAPHNNE MARTIN • TWITTER @DAAPHNNEMAARTIN No. 12-ranked Oregon volleyball (9-3) fell 3-1 loss to Colorado (12-3) at the Coors Events Center in Colorado on Saturday night. Following a narrow win over No. 5 Utah on Friday, the Ducks failed to rally against unranked Colorado, finishing the road trip to the mountain schools with an even 1-1 record. Colorado quickly took the lead in the first set, up 9-2 against the Ducks. Although Oregon was capable of getting within three points at 11-8, the Buffaloes carried through to the end with
an opening set win of 25-18. Oregon finished the first set with a .000 hitting percentage. Colorado began to lead the second set 13-9 until Oregon scored seven points in a row, taking a 22-17 lead. As the Buffaloes pushed for a 7-2 run, the set was tied up 24-24. Ronika Stone’s kill helped the Ducks gain a set point and an error on Colorado’s end finished the set with a 1-1 tie going into the third match. Read the rest at dailyemerald.com.
HERBERT OUT INDEFINITELY BY ZAK LASTER • TWITTER @ZLAST3445 According to Bruce Feldman of Sports Illustrated, Justin Herbert will miss 4-6 weeks due to a collarbone injury suffered in the first quarter against California on Saturday night as Herbert crossed into the end zone to score a touchdown for the Ducks. Feldman has reported that it was Herbert’s nonthrowing arm. Herbert was 7-of-8 for 86 yards, throwing for one touchdown and rushing for one. The Ducks led 17-0 after Herbert was injured. Taylor Alie replaced Herbert but was also
injured in the second half, so he was replaced by freshman Braxton Burmeister. Through five games, Herbert ranks 26th in the nation with 1,264 passing yards. He’s thrown nine touchdowns and two interceptions. If he does miss just four games, it would mean he could return Nov. 4 against Washington. A full six-week absence would mean he wouldn’t be ready until the Arizona game following the Ducks bye week. Read the rest at dailyemerald.com. M O N D AY, O C T O B E R 2 , 2 0 1 7

CAMPUS CLUBS TO CHECK OUT THIS FALL BY EMERALD ARTS & CULTURE DESK TWITTER @DAILYEMERALD The University of Oregon, like many large universities, features a breadth of student clubs and opportunities. For newcomers, the sheer number of student organizations can be daunting, but getting involved in campus clubs is an easy way for students to find their footing. It might be exhausting to look at a long list, so the Emerald compiled a non-comprehensive list of some quirky, offbeat clubs on campus.

TUESDAYS 7 P.M. STRAUB 254 The perfect place for UO’s aspiring student filmmakers, the University Film Organization (UFO) connects students interested in cinema. Throughout the year, the club sponsors workshops, interviews and a short film production. The UFO currently hosts TKTK members at its weekly meetings every Tuesday at 7 p.m. It’s the place to dive into everything film, especially for students who have video experience. A lack of experience isn’t an obstacle for new members. The club centers each meeting around an aspect of film production, using workshops and games to give everyone small doses of knowledge. Need to learn how to direct actors? Those interested can spend half an hour blocking a scene before presenting it to other members. Working with lighting
equipment can be a daunting task, so the club dedicates a week to training with floodlights and filters. UFO’s leadership also invites producers and industry workers for interviews, Q&As and professional feedback. In other words, the opportunities for young film lovers are plentiful. Each year culminates in a clubwide production of a short film — and every member is involved in the process. In previous years, members wrote screenplays themselves and submitted them to the club. Members voted for their favorite to be produced. Films have covered multiple genres and styles, including action and horror. The UFO hosts a film festival at the end of the year, inviting filmmakers in Eugene to present their work to a local audience. Cinephiles and casual film watchers are equally welcome.

Interested in pursuing a career in the sports business world but don’t know where to begin? UO’s sports business club is the perfect place to start. Founded in 1993 by University of Oregon alum Jim Warsaw, the club offers students of all majors exposure to a variety of job opportunities in the sports business world. A $75 annual membership fee grants students access to one of the UO’s largest clubs and a multitude of networking opportunities. A usual club meeting includes internship announcements, organizing philanthropic events and a guest speaker. NBA team

presidents, NFL player’s agents and sportswear company executives are just a few of the many guests speakers who frequent Lillis Hall for the Sports Business Club’s meetings. Last year, Olympic champion runner and UO graduate Ashton Eaton spoke with the club about his Olympic sponsor. Each month the club selects a group of members to make weekly visits to Portland companies and organizations such as Nike and the Trailblazers. The club also offers students the opportunity to travel to Boston and attended the annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.
TABLE TENNIS CLUB
SAILING CLUB TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS 3:30 P.M. FERN RIDGE RESERVOIR For students looking to catch the wind to some competition, the UO Sailing Club is the place to be. The club’s roster peaks around a dozen. Usually less than ten members are active, and some have little experience to immediately offer. When the team recruits members during the university’s Week of Welcome, it’s normal for students who haven’t raced to join. And while the pressure associated with regattas is unmistakable, the club makes it a point to be welcoming and inclusive. Members practice regularly with Oregon State’s club, and meet on bodies of water like the Fern Ridge Reservoir. Despite the rivalry, the practices dissolve any animosity between the groups. For both clubs, sailing comes first. The club’s laid-back nature doesn’t come without commitment. Spring is the club’s most competitive season by a nautical mile. The crew competes in four regattas throughout the year. In addition, they compete in three qualifiers for national events; if they qualify, members could be away from campus for up to 10 weekends. The regattas keep the spirit of competition alive, but still open to a wide range of people. Even if members don’t sail to a win, they sail among friends and family.
TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS 7-9 PM GERLINGER HALL 220
GEOLOGY CLUB WEDNESDAYS AT 6 P.M. CASCADE IN 310B Artesia Hubbard, an environmental studies major, started attending the Geology Club at her older sister’s recommendation. “Everyone was so inviting. It’s just a really, really good community of people,” Hubbard said. Since her first meeting, Hubbard has participated in the group’s excursions to find fossils and other geological rarities, as well as regular club meetings. The club sponsors a few trips for its 40 or so members each term. Non-science majors are welcome to join, and Hubbard appreciates the diversity in the club. “That brings us together and we’re all just completely different people outside of the club, but on the trip, it’s us all nerding out, having the best time,” Hubbard says. The Geology Club has weekly meetings and offers tutoring for students in Geology classes at Cascade Hall, according to its Facebook page.
Whether a novice or a young Ma Long, UO’s Table Tennis Club is a great place for anyone with the slightest interest in the classic British sport. At each end of about 25 tables, veteran players swing alongside novices, sharing tips and having fun. The club is welcoming to new players. All the equipment needed is supplied by the club — paddles and everything. Freshman Adam Knox-Warshaw doesn’t consider himself a seasoned veteran by any means, yet still enjoys coming thanks to the club’s inclusive nature. The club is “accepting of all levels,” according to the new member player. Junior Yue Lin has been attending the club’s events for the last three years and is even on its competitive team that travels to different tournaments. Lin incorporates the twice-weekly club meetings into her weekly routine and has built strong friendships in the club. When asked about her favorite part of the Table Tennis Club, she simply responded, “the exercise,” as she wiped a bead of sweat off her brow. The atmosphere is inviting. Attendees are welcomed by friendly faces, caring players and the sweet smacking sounds of table tennis. At 4p.m. every Friday the A Cappella groups perform at the EMU ampitheater. (Adam Eberhardt)

U R AWESOME CLUB WEDNESDAYS AT 6 P.M. STRAUB 252 This club is all about spreading the love. Membership is easy — anyone with a positive attitude who’s down to make new friends and spread kindness across campus is welcome. “The U R Awesome club is all about promoting kindness on campus and making sure all students know they have support,” the club recently posted on its Facebook page, U R Awesome UO. This club can be spotted on campus
wearing colorful, tie-dye shirts and doling out free hugs, high fives and fist bumps to willing passersby. During more stressful times of the year (particularly dead week), they host bubble-wrap popping events where students can squeeze their stress away. U R Awesome club also hosts “speed-friending” events — similar to speed dating but without the awkwardness or pressure of romance.
A CAPPELLA GROUPS
AUDITIONS OCT. 8 10 A.M. TO 6 P.M. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND DANCE The 2012 film “Pitch Perfect” isn’t influenced by just any college a capella group. It’s inspired by the novel of the same name, which is largely based on University of Oregon’s all female a capella group — Divisi. As recipients of rewards from the International Championship of Collegiate a capella, Divisi has become a well-known group in the community. “Women’s [a capella] groups kind of get a bad rep because they’re like — boring,” said Divisi member Hailey Kristiansen. “But Divisi is one of those groups that tries to push the boundaries.” At professional competitions, Divisi members often don their token red ties. They exude a powerful feminist vibe, especially during the 2005 performance that inspired the “Pitch
Perfect” novel in the first place. Rather than sing a passive, more traditional set, the women sang a vibrant version of Usher’s “Yeah.” Divisi’s current music director, Lily Kirwan, said its strong feminist undertones were something many female a capella groups hadn’t explored in their performances. Since then, Divisi has continued to push its supportive, progressive vibe. “I think in today’s society we’re very proud of that,” Kirwan said. Divisi rehearses three times a week for two-and-a-half hour sessions. They can be seen every Friday at the EMU Amphitheater at 4:15, just after performances from UO’s other a capella groups — On the Rocks and Mind the Gap — at 3:45.

HOW TO THRIVE IN EUGENE AS A UO STUDENT BY BILLY MANGGALA • TWITTER @BILLYMANGALOL Now that we’ve all settled in after the first week of school, it’s time to branch out of our classes and explore what Eugene and the University of Oregon has to offer. One of the best things about being a student here is that we get to live in a growing, prosperous and small city that has a plethora of things to do. One of the worst things we can do as students here is not take advantage of the city, here are a few tips on how to thrive in Eugene as a University of Oregon student. Use Your School’s Resources

Send your columns or submissions about our content or campus issues to letters@dailyemerald.com. Even the air seemed to glitter on the second Sunday in July. Rainbow-clad supporters danced with signs, children scrambled for candy and drag queens burst into spontaneous lip-sync. Fifty years after Parliament decriminalized gay relationships, queer people gathered in London to celebrate their identities and victories for one campy, jubilant afternoon. And then, the day ended. Men, women and those in-between wiped off their face paint and went to bed. The next morning, street cleaners brushed the residual glitter into the gutters of Regent Street. Another Pride festival had come and gone. But on Marchmont Street in Bloomsbury, Gay’s The Word bookshop opened at 10 a.m., as it does every day. The shop is an enduring symbol of queer pride and community in London, and one that won’t be going away anytime soon. Store manager Jim MacSweeney sits across from me in the back room of Gay’s The Word on a cloudy summer afternoon, surrounded by unshelved novels and post-it notes. Moments earlier, he rang up a customer for fifteen minutes, chatting enthusiastically between each tap on the register. As we speak, customers wander under rainbow flags hung from the ceiling, flipping through books and talking with

each other. The color and clutter give a feeling of buried-treasure suspense, as if you might happen upon your next lifechanging read if you look long enough. Though he wasn’t sitting behind the desk when Gay’s The Word opened in 1979, MacSweeney remembers the novelty of this “serious bookshop” in Bloomsbury. In a time when LGBT spaces and stores were generally limited to men’s magazines and hole-in-thewall sex shops, Gay’s The Word’s wide variety of fiction and nonfiction offered something new. The shop’s original owner and his friends owned Gay’s The Word collectively, buzzing with the radical political energy of the late 1970s. In the spirit of the women’s liberation movement and lesbian bookshops of the time, they created “a different sort of space” -- one that included women and people of color, and today embraces anyone who falls on the queer identity spectrum. It was once almost impossible to find and purchase LGBT books, but in the 1990s, mainstream booksellers began to see the queer community as a promising market. The advent of Amazon and other online retailers also threatened small, niche booksellers like Gay’s The Word. Today it is the last standing LGBT bookstore in the UK. So why, then, has this shop endured? Though I don’t know the answer, looking around the shop I am certainly grateful that it has. As someone who makes a beeline for the “Gay and Lesbian” shelf in

We also have access to free tutoring centers that are spread throughout campus, most being in the library. And we have the ability to join the abundance of clubs that UO offers. Joining a club is a good way to meet people that have the same interests as you do, no matter how strange they may seem. You like making movies? There’s a club for that. You like rock climbing?

đ&#x;“Ł OPINION GAY’S THE WORD: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 any typical bookstore, and who combs the shelves of shops for validation through poetry and fiction, this space is a revelation. MacSweeney sees wide-eyed, queer bibliophiles like me nearly every day. “People come from all over the world to visit the bookshop,â€? he says. “Often from countries where [LGBTQ relationships are] illegal. And are often surprised at the amount of books that are out there.â€? So despite the advent of online ordering and mainstream representation, Gay’s The Word prevails. There is something remarkable in the experience of browsing, something that goes beyond the merchandise itself. Working in the shop is about more than the inventory for its employees, as well. “For me, working here, I think it’s important that it’s a safe, welcoming space. I never know when people come in, where they are in their lives,â€? MacSweeney says. “You can have people come in and coming out, at any age.â€? Though originally founded to cater to gay men and lesbians, Gay’s The Word has evolved with the community -- perhaps another reason for its enduring presence. The shop’s section on trans issues and identity, for example, has expanded over the last several years. What was once a single shelf is now an entire bay. MacSweeney smiles as he recalls one example of the evolving queer community. “In the old days,
people would come in and say ‘I’ve just come out to my mother and she’s having a break down, do you have a book for her?’� he says. “And these days, you see parents come in and say, ‘my son or daughter has just come out and they’re 14, do you have a book for them?’ And that’s very touching. It’s less of a threat.� “I’m loving the new generation,� he adds. “The way language changes, the way they claim this space, their confidence in who they are, their excitement when they come in.� New people are coming out and joining the LGBTQ+ community all the time, and as they do, they discover Gay’s The Word. Queer expression may be in something of a vogue, with shows like RuPaul’s drag race commanding cult followings and Twitter fame. Yet when the shows conclude and performances end, queer lives go on. Gay’s The Word celebrates the beauty in that persistent ordinary, and in all the facets of queer experience that may never make it on a screen or into a parade. “Most lesbian and gay people are so ordinary and dull like anybody else,� MacSweeney says. “And fabulous within that, of course. But it’s the sheer ordinariness that matters. And you get that at Pride-the volume of people who are just people.� Pride is, of course, a beautiful celebration. It’s a symbol of community and allyship. Stores plaster their display windows with rainbow flags. Bookshops move their LGBTQ+ shelf out of the corner and into the front of the store. But while each year Pride must end, Gay’s The Word continues. It is a meeting space, a community hub and, for me and many others, a site of discovery and validation. Despite a history of oppression and the challenges facing independent bookshops, Gay’s The Word remains beloved and important. Its tables are scattered with community announcements and pamphlets. Its cluttered shelves are full and ever-
evolving. Like the LGBTQ+ community, it persists with pride. Rachel Benner spent the summer studying abroad through the GEO Journalism in London program. She explored British sports, arts and culture through writing, which led her to sites like Gay’s The Word.

Although the football games are fun to go to, and we should be trying to go every Saturday, it hasn’t been as fun in recent years since the decline of Ducks football. Luckily, that’s not the only sport UO is good at. Our volleyball team is currently ranked 12th in the nation, and I can assure you that you will not have a dull time watching a UO volleyball game. I can also say this about our basketball team, who were so good last year that they cracked the Final Four in the 2017 NCAA tournament. And there’s a reason Eugene is nicknamed Tracktown USA. We have some of the best track and field athletes in the world who go on to Olympic trials and even the main event itself some years. The point is, we don’t need to be a good football team to enjoy UO sports -every other team was killing it last year and may kill it again this year. Downtown, aka Chowtown

I’m a full Asian, and I can’t tell you how happy I was when I found the dozens of Asian restaurants in downtown Eugene. The food options are surprisingly quite diverse for being a small city, and eating at these local restaurants helps the local economy as well. So really, it’s a win-win. Along with Asian restaurants, we got a Portland-esque food cart scene spread out downtown as well as some casual brunch diners with the best egg benedicts. Some people will tell you the food scene is weak, I think it’s better than most college towns have.
Constant Culture I went to the Brockhampton concert at WOW hall last Friday, and before then there were only three people I knew that have listened to them. Hundreds of people showed up to the concert, and it reminded me that Eugene is constantly holding shows for performers big and small. Various Eugene venues host legends such as Elton John and Lil’ Wayne, while at the same time holding shows for up and comers like Brockhampton. Along with music, the film scene is also a hot topic in Eugene with theatres like The Bijou Art Cinemas, The David Minor theatre and some local film festivals screening all over the city. Eugene has music, film, comedy and much more going on. The Freshest Air in the Nation In Eugene, you have the ocean and the mountains within two hours of each other. Florence beach is a perfect weekend getaway for those looking to put their feet in the sand. If you’re looking to travel close, hiking areas such as Spencer’s Butte and Skinner’s Butte make for a great Sunday morning exercise. The state’s geography is so diverse that you’re not going to run out of things to do ever. Just make sure to bring your allergy meds because the pollen gets nastier as the year goes by.

OREGON BEATS CAL 45-24, TOP
OFFENSIVE PLAYERS EXIT WITH INJURY
BY COLE KUNDICH • TWITTER @CKUNDICH In his first season as head coach of the Ducks, Willie Taggart has instilled in his players to “Do Something.” On Saturday night versus Cal, a few more players than originally planned were asked to do something. A slew of injuries, headlined by impairments to Justin Herbert and Royce Freeman, led to anxiety across Autzen Stadium and a sense of uncertainty heading forward. For the time being, the Ducks were able to grind out a 45-24 win over the Golden Bears for their first win in Pac-12 play. “I realized that this team cares about each other,” Taggart said. “We’re doing all the things that we set out and addressed early.” When Oregon finally pulled away from Cal in the game’s final minutes, there was no reason to stress over the outcome of the game on the field. However, that stress is about to amplify moving forward. Following the game, reports came out that Herbert broke his collarbone. The injury occurred on a seven-yard touchdown run that put the Ducks up 17-0. Taggart did not offer an official diagnosis on Herbert. “I just gave him a hug and said that we’re all here for him,” center Jake Hanson said. Backup Taylor Alie entered for Herbert, and did not fare well. He was unable to move the ball down the field with his arm, completing only nine passes for 41 yards. Alie threw an interception that led to a Cal touchdown at the end of the half to cut the deficit to 17-7 and give some energy to the visitors heading into halftime. To make matters even tougher, Alie didn’t make it to the end of the game, leaving with an injury. That led to freshman Braxton Burmeister entering for the first time in his collegiate career. The shuffle in quarterbacks shifted to a game plan that focused heavily on the running game in the second half. The ground attack was led by Kani Benoit and Tony Brooks-James, and not Freeman, who himself left earlier in the game with what appeared to be a right arm injury. Benoit and Brooks-James combined for 217 yards on the ground and three touchdowns to

BY KYLEE O’CONNOR • TWITTER @KYLEETHEMIGHTEE Oregon’s 45-24 win on Saturday over Cal may look great on paper, but the victory came with some losses. Six injuries and one ejection to key players plagued the Ducks throughout the game and may have cost them more than if they had lost the game itself. The injuries included quarterback Justin Herbert, running back Royce Freeman and wide receiver Dillon Mitchell. When head coach Willie Taggart sat down and addressed the media post-game, the first thing he said was, “I could ask this question.” The ensuing question, about the status of Herbert,
was answered with, “There’s no updates right now.” “I asked [Herbert] if he was OK,” said Taggart. “He said, ‘Yeah,’ but that’s what Justin always says.” Herbert suffered what reports say to be a broken collarbone during his first quarter touchdown run. No matter what the circumstances, it’s always “next man up mentality.” “You can’t really miss a beat, especially in such a

OREGON BEATS CAL:
NEXT MAN UP:
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 lead the way. Darrian Felix also pitched in with 27 rushing yards and a score at the end of the game to make it 45-24. “We came here to be the best running backs in the country,” Brooks-James said. “They know the run is coming but you can’t stop it.” With Herbert out, Cal knew that the Ducks would be running the ball. Coach Taggart and his team were quick to give credit to the offensive line, which bounced back in a big manner following its below-average outing in the Ducks’ 37-35 loss at Arizona State last Saturday. “I was really proud of those guys,” Taggart said. “I challenged them this past Sunday…those guys took that challenge.”
Cal’s running game, on the other hand, was in a rut all night long, rushing for only 52 yards on a combined 29 attempts. The offense got the job done on their side of the ball, but the Ducks’ defensive effort was especially admirable in preventing Cal from threatening the early 17-0 lead Oregon jumped out to in the first quarter. They also allowed the offense to adjust with the change at the quarterback position. With Herbert potentially set to miss a considerable amount of time, the status of Freeman still up in the air and No. 16 Washington State coming into Eugene next week, Ducks who may not have expected advanced roles will be given their chance to shine.

close game,” center Jake Hanson said. “ … It seemed like everybody was going down, at least at some point.” Taylor Alie entered the game after Herbert went down, but after going 9-for-13 for 41 yards and an interception, he too left the field injured. Coach Taggart then decided to put in freshman Braxton Burmeister and burn his potential redshirt year. But if Burmeister ends up being the guy going forward, running back Kani Benoit thinks that he’s ready and that the offense has enough weapons to help him succeed. “Braxton has been with us for a while now,” Benoit said. “He knows how our offense runs. Out there he just needs to go and make the plays. Our receivers and running backs will carry him in that way and I think he’s pretty confident in himself and in his talent.” Benoit replaced standout running back Royce Freeman after he injured what seemed to be his shoulder during the first quarter. When Taggart asked Freeman how he was doing after the game, Freeman responded, “‘I’ll be alright coach, I did this before. I’ll be fine.” Freeman was burdened with ongoing injuries throughout the 2016-17 season.
“If anyone drops, we’re going to pick up the slack,” Benoit said. “That’s what happened tonight and [Freeman] has full trust in us.” These injuries hurt the already lacking depth of the Oregon offense; however, Taggart said, “If there was any position that has depth, it would be running backs.” After running for negative one yards in one attempt against Arizona State, Benoit ran for 141 yards and two touchdowns following Freeman’s departure to the locker room. “Guys go down and we’re not going to put their heads down or anything. The next guy steps up,” Taggart said. “We always talk about that with our guys. You’ve gotta be ready, you never know when the opportunity is going to come.” Going into the game, the Ducks were already missing receiver Charles Nelson and tight end Jacob Breeland. Now, with these additional injuries, the next man up will have a chance to “do something” against Washington State next week. “What a great opportunity. When everybody’s out, you’ve got a chance to go out there and do something, and our guys did it,” Taggart said.

Chardonnay Curran at practice on September 20, 2017. (Adam Eberhardt)
Oregon soccer’s Chardonnay Curran is from a town with a population of less than 15,000, but she has a big dream. She’s even pinned a tweet about it from 2015 to her Twitter profile. Curran hopes to play for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team someday, but for now, her focus is on her first year at Oregon. “Well I hope to go professionally, but right now, after experiencing [college soccer], wherever my body takes me I’m just following it,” Curran said. The Ewa Beach, Hawaii native got to Oregon after she was spotted during one of assistant head coach Manny Martin’s recruiting trips in Hawaii. Now, as only a freshman, she has become instrumental to Oregon’s offense. Curran scored her first career goal in Oregon’s 2-1 loss at No. 7 USC, where she gave the Ducks an early lead but the defending national champions fought back to win the game inside the final 10 minutes of action. Playing in a central midfield role, Curran commands the tempo and is responsible for transitioning the play into the offensive third of the field. Head coach Kat Mertz says that her natural ability in the creative midfielder role, better known as the No. 10 role, is something the team has not had before in her five seasons at the helm. As a starter, Curran comes into an attack that’s been run by juniors Marissa Everett and Kyra Fawcett, who have each spent a year as the team’s leading scorers and have combined for more than half of Oregon’s goals this season. “I think [Curran] is a great player,” Everett said. “She has a lot of talent, and it’s always nice to have more depth on the team.”
Curran’s chemistry with her teammates hasn’t been easy, but she has sure made it look that way. “It takes time to build those relationships with the freshmen, but also, she has to build those relationships with the other midfielders and I think that’s what we’ve been doing a good job with,” Mertz said. “And we’ve been seeing some nice combinations with the other midfielders.” Mertz also wants to see Curran take on players and create more chances, which Curran says she loves to do. When she does run at defenders, they fall apart. “It builds my confidence, but at the same time it makes me more happy when I assist people,” Curran said. “just giving the ball and seeing my teammates showing everyone what they’ve got is what makes me the happiest.” But getting confident enough to take on players consistently will come as playing time continues to increase. Mertz says that Curran is an intense player who holds herself to a high standard. Talents like Curran don’t come around often. She’s capable of cutting the ball and switching play one direction, while sending opposition defenders the other. For Curran, the biggest change from her club days isn’t the level of competitiveness in college compared to those she played in Hawaii. “Everybody talks about how hard it is, but just coming in here and having a tough team mentally is what I noticed the difference is,” Curran said. “Physically, you can get shut down but as long as your mentality is there, then you’ll be good.”

BROCKHAMPTON’S SOLD-OUT PERFORMANCE AT WOW HALL DIDN’T DISAPPOINT BY ZACH PRICE • TWITTER @ZACH_PRICE24 PHOTOS BY PHILLIP QUINN A line of anxious fans circled around the corner of 8th Avenue and Lincoln Street on Friday night. But the anticipation only continued to build as another hour would pass before the up-and-coming rap collective Brockhampton would take the stage at the sold-out WOW Hall. Romil Hemnani — the band’s producer and DJ — took the stage at 9 p.m., providing the tightly-packed audience with an engaging opening set. Fans belted the lyrics to familiar songs from artists like Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Travis Scott and Migos. As the prospect of the band coming on stage grew stronger with each song, the audience achieved new levels of rowdiness. One of the venue’s PA speakers had to be repaired after crowd members shook the double-stacked speakers so violently a cord appeared to become disconnected. Once the technical issues were resolved, Hemnani queued the hollow bass and snare hits that begin Brockhampton’s “HEAT,â€? sparking a rambunctious crowd reaction. One by one, each member of the selfproclaimed “all-American boy bandâ€? entered through WOW Hall’s back door and onto the stage. At the end of each verse, the respective rapper collapsed to the ground. Fans greeted Kevin Abstract — the band’s leader and creative visionary — with a mass of applause and cheers as he was the final member to appear on stage. “I love you, Kevinâ€? echoed through the hall. Brian Kinnes, a close friend of the band who attended the show Friday night, accompanied Abstract on his solo tour last year. According to Kinnes, a majority of the concerts on Abstract’s 2016 tour were sold out, but since the release of Brockhampton’s third record, “SATURATION II,â€? live shows have improved significantly. “The energy is just a lot better on this tour,â€? Kinnes said. “Last tour was still really good, but something is different on this one.â€? One of the most impressive performances

of the night came with the band’s performance of “JUNKY.� “Dang Kevin, why do you always gotta rap about being gay?� Abstract said sarcastically before beginning the song. “You spend every song rapping about how you’re gay. Like we get it, bro, you’re gay.� On the song, Abstract answers his own question by rapping, “‘Why you always rap about bein’ gay?’� Cause not enough niggas rap and be gay.� Abstract continues to discuss his sexuality and the homophobia that permeates the rap industry throughout the track. The band’s sarcasm and light-hearted humor set the tone for rest of the show after this semi-serious moment. Members would often joke with each other during breaks and even in the middle of songs. “Can ya’ll help us on this next song?� Abstract said. “Can ya’ll help us shake that ass? Security? Can ya’ll help us shake that ass? CAN YA’LL HELP US SHAKE THAT ASS?� Laughter ensued and hands dropped to the floor as the band began its performance of “JELLO.� In the middle of the song, Abstract urged fellow collective member Ameer Vann to twerk on stage. While Vann’s attempt was halfhearted, the crowd received it well. An emotional moment came towards the end of the night with the band’s performance of “BUMP.� As the song played, people pulled their significant others close, friends could be seen throwing arms around each other’s shoulders and the entire crowd joined the band in celebration. “Now sing it like it’s the last day on earth!� Abstract instructed. “When this ends, at least I’ll have a reason to live,� the crowd chanted repeatedly. After the house lights rose and the crowd began to clear out of the sweaty concert hall, one thing was certain: Brockhampton will perform at a much larger venue and charge a significantly more expensive ticket next time it comes to Eugene, that is if they come at all.
