NEWS BEAN CONSTRUCTION AFFECTS CURRENT RESIDENTS Construction on Bean dorms will continue throughout the year. (Devin Roux)
BY RYLEE KAHAN • TWITTER @RYLEEKAHAN Picture this: like every other weekday morning, you’re asleep in your dorm. You’re jolted awake by a sudden sound and physical shaking that makes you believe there’s a catastrophic event occurring right outside your door. You dart out of bed and into the hallway to find three rooms and one entrance to the restroom blocked off, ceiling to floor, by an opaque piece of plastic. The plastic sheet has a zipper in the middle, resembling a door, and a sign taped to the front that says, “NO ACCESS. WORK IN PROGRESS. Bathroom accessible through other door.” This is the daily disruption that upended resident life two weeks ago in the Parsons wing of Bean East. Residents woke up to a branch of their hall under renovation, much like the construction underway at Bean West. For the next two weeks, construction workers roamed the halls unannounced while the residents of the floor — all girls — tried not to be uncomfortable walking to and from the showers. Construction workers also took breaks at the table located in Parsons, usually a place for residents to talk to family and friends on the phone if their roommate needs quiet. Not only did the construction cause spatial disruptions within the hall, it caused major sleep disruptions, too. The construction inside Parsons was the same as the room renovations being done in Bean West, except that people are paying to live in Parsons, and Bean West is completely vacant. So, the sounds of taking down concrete slabs, knocking out windows, and constant jack-hammering filled Parsons every day Monday through Friday, starting at 9 a.m. “I’m pissed that they decided to do this in the hall that we currently live in,” said Sarah Case, a

Parsons resident. “They have three rooms at the end of the hall in Parsons blocked off. And they also blocked off part of the bathroom entrances.” Jenna Candland is a resident of Parsons, and she doesn’t have class until the afternoon during the week. Candland was very accustomed to sleeping in during the week, when suddenly she was woken up at 9 a.m. every day for two weeks. Not only was this going on for two weeks, but it was also happening during midterms week. Residents were unable to live by their normal sleeping schedule during this time, exacerbating studying difficulties. Other residents have less of an issue with the construction workers being there — it’s that they come and go unannounced. All of Bean East received weekly impact reports of disruptions that might happen and what tools would be used; however, Parsons residents were never informed of any construction that would be happening inside of their hall. “I think it’s fine that they’re there, but they don’t give us any [warning] when they will be there,” said Claire McNamee, also a Parsons resident. “So we get kind of blindsided when they are there because like it’s quiet back there and all of the sudden the zipper goes flying up and it’s like ‘Shit!’” Parsons quiet hours are effective until 10 a.m., and this construction started an hour prior to the end of quiet hours. Not only was this during quiet hours, but this was completely unannounced to residents, even in weekly impact reports emailed to the residents of Bean East. The impact reports tell all residents of Bean East what trucks and tools will be used on which days. The report has no mention of construction inside

the hall, or that construction will start at 9 a.m. “As ... part of efforts to continue to provide you with information about the renovation and what to expect, the company has provided Weekly Impact Reports. These are being posted in the communities impacted and will be available to you,” according to the email from University Housing Maintenance that is attached to the report. Many other residents of Bean East had no idea that the construction was even going on inside of Parsons. Clay Beauvais is the President of Bean’s Resident Hall Government for the 2017-18 year. “We [resident hall government] know just as much as the residents, as soon as the rest of the residents know about it,” said Beauvais. “I didn’t know that there were construction workers going through halls...so that’s insane.” Rooms in Bean East on the 15th Street side have two windows knocked out just like Bean West’s windows. Residents are living in Bean East two doors down from those knocked out windows. Parsons residents want specific information from the university on when construction workers will be there, and where exactly they’ll be walking through, according to Parson resident Sydney Stephens. Stephens explained that Parsons residents are still paying to live there, and they would like to be treated as such. As of Oct. 27, the construction inside the hallways has been cleared, and there is no word from University Housing Maintenance on if and when it will be back. The construction noise remains just as disruptive as they continue to demolish parts of Bean West right outside of Parsons. According to Sarah Ramos, a Parsons resident, “It has not ‘Bean’ a good few weeks.”

UOPD: A YEAR FULL OF CHANGES BY CASEY CROWLEY • TWITTER @CASEYCROWLEY55 members of the campus community. UOPD has also worked with ASUO on the annual Campus Night Safety Walk this year. ASUO provides funding and oversight for Safe Ride and the Drunk Driver Shuttle — two programs that are now run in collaboration with the UOPD. “I have worked last year with ASUO executive with the programming with UOPD on Campus Night Walk and things like that, and my personal experience has been great in the sense that we have worked really well with them. [We] collaborated with Chief Carmichael specifically really well,â€? said ASUO President Amy Schenk. One of Carmichael’s newest changes is that UOPD officers will now have Tasers and “patrol rifles,â€? the latter of which will be kept in safes in the trunks of patrol cars. There are people who are skeptical of the introduction of these new weapons, such as Bill Harbaugh, vice president of the UO Senate and professor of Economics. “It raises the level of force at the University and that is good in terms of allowing a more effective response to an incident if it happens, probably when it happens given the way things are going. I think it also makes it more likely that those kinds of incidents will happen,â€? said Harbaugh. Harbaugh cited the recent Georgia Tech
University of Oregon Police Department Chief Matthew Carmichael has been in Eugene for over a year and is the fourth new chief in the last decade. After a year with Carmichael in this position, the campus community has gotten a feel for how the police will act under his leadership. “There is always work for us to do as a police department moving forward. The last year I would say we have increased community engagement. We are finding ways to make sure all community members who do not feel served by us are, and we still have challenges,� said Carmichael. Carmichael has over 30 years of experience working in law enforcement. He took over his last job as police chief at University of California, Davis after the department caught national negative attention when a police officer pepper sprayed a group of student protesters. Carmichael’s job was aimed at restoring community relations. At UO, Carmichael has also focused on improving community engagement since he was hired as police chief. He has implemented changes that include hiring student assistants to the chief, acquiring new police uniforms and vehicles, acquiring permanent body cameras for officers and meeting with student groups and

incident in which a student called the police on himself, pulled a knife and then threatened the police until they shot him as an example of how arming campus police with these new weapons could have a negative effect. He also said he appreciates Carmichael’s efforts to integrate the UOPD with the community. Harbaugh said that he is not an opponent of the police and thinks Carmichael is generally great. “I do not believe that the UOPD’s addition of rifles and Tasers will now encourage someone to harm themselves through us,� said Carmichael in response to Harbaugh’s statement. “What I do believe, based on the examples that I have seen nationally, is that I will feel that I am being a good police chief and I am doing what I am intrusted to do.� Another change during Carmichael’s first year is the announcement that UOPD would be getting new vinyl wraps for the patrol car as well as new uniforms, both of which will closely reflect the school colors. The announcement caused controversy after a picture of a truck with a new vinyl wrap appeared online and raised the questions concerning whether or not this was a new paint job and what the cost would be. Regardless of these controversies, these future changes are still in place.

đ&#x;”Ś NEWS TRACKTOWN GETTING A PIECE OF BIKETOWN BY BECCA ROBBINS • TWITTER @BROBBINSUO Bikes line both sides of 13th Avenue. They race back and forth down the street, dodging students and faculty and weaving their way to classes and events. More bikes line the curb beyond campus for students to buy or rent throughout the year, and a bike lane dominates the roadway. And yet, there are soon to be more. The City of Eugene, in partnership with the University of Oregon and Lane Transit District, will launch the Eugene Bike Share system in spring 2018. This will hopefully reduce traffic in campus parking lots and buses like the EMX, according to Eugene Bike Share’s general manager Lindsey Hayward. With 300 bikes and 35 stations, the system was originally intended to be specific to the UO campus, said Hayward. A lack of approval from Campus Risk Management took the project off the table in 2012, according to UO Bike Program Coordinator Kelsey Moore. Due to interest from the rest of the community and receiving a grant from the Oregon Transportation Commission, the project was opened again in 2015 but expanded to include downtown and the Whiteaker neighborhood. After the gain of a title sponsor in September, the system was set for a spring opening. The sponsor will be revealed at an announcement event in January. The $1.3 million project is largely funded by the grant; however, ASUO also contributed $197,311 in 2015. These funds were originally allocated by ASUO in 2012 but were not paid until the project restarted three years later. According to Moore, this contribution ensured the university would have four to six stations on or around campus. “On campus it’s great,â€? Moore said. “We have a big campus, so there’s definitely a lot of people who will be using bike share to cross campus or run an errand, but I think a lot of people will also use it to go downtown and the Whiteaker. I know a lot of students are

really liking the businesses, the coffee shops, the different opportunities for retail that are in those two locations, so I definitely see people using the system.� After the launch during spring term, students will get 15 minutes a day of free ride time, and after that will pay $1 for every 15 min with the bike. With a $5 monthly pass, students get an hour for free every day. In its new location at the EMU, Moore said the Bike Program got much more traffic these past two summers with incoming freshmen and their parents wondering if bringing a bike would be worth it. “They didn’t want the responsibility of if it got stolen, so they were really concerned about theft, about maintenence, about would they use it enough, so when they heard bike share would be launching this year people were really excited because it takes all of that ownership responsibility off of you but you have all of the access.� UO student Jennifer Sanchez echoed Moore’s thoughts. She left her bike at home in California, but says she could definitely see herself using this system. “I believe that would work really well for me, just to go back forth instead of relying on the bus stations,� Sanchez said. The chosen bike share company, Social Bike, is the same one used by Biketown in Portland. According to Associate Transportation Planner Reed Dunbar, the systems will be similar and Social Bike members will be able to travel back and forth and take advantage of both projects. While Hayward says the Eugene system will have updated bikes from Biketown, another key difference will be the color. “We can’t have orange bikes on campus,� she said. The bikes are in the branding and production phase, but, according to Harmon, the city is still open to public comment before finalizing the locations of the bike stations.

UO HOSTS FIRST INNOVATION SUMMIT BY KYLIE STORM AND BECCA ROBBINS Project design signs stood in the hallway of the EMU, displaying new ways to develop sports products such as snowboarding jackets, running leggings and adjustable kayak seats. Small, UO alumni-founded companies, like ketchup company Red Duck Foods, showed off their products. Grad students displayed facial expression software and an eyetracking program. These are just a few examples of the displays at the Innovation Summit last Friday, Oct. 27. The student-facilitated event aimed to connect and engage UO students and groups from different departments around the university — like science, communications, and performing arts. It was a collection of interactive activities, events and lectures. These ranged from slideshows about environmentally efficient vehicles to pitching ideas while running around Hayward Field, all intended to connect students with innovative ideas and encourage their participation. The summit started as an assignment in Kate Harmon’s entrepreneurship class last winter term when they were assigned Phil Knight’s autobiography “Shoe Dog.� The team started by bouncing ideas around and made their final decision in the spring term. According to Harmon, every college on campus participated in at least one of the 91 different activities or sessions because, “everyone’s doing something that’s innovative.� “I think there’s a stereotype that entrepreneurship or innovation is something that’s only in a business school,� said Harmon. “But that’s something we don’t want to promote. It’s not true. It’s really about making people recognize that you can be innovative in whatever your passion is.� Harmon also expressed the mission to make the Innovation Summit a staple of Homecoming Week. “The
thought is that if this is successful this year we might be able to revisit doing this as an annual event around Homecoming to make it a tradition,� she said. They even received support from campus administration like UO President Michael Schill when he dedicated the day as “Innovator’s Day.� Anna Mikula, one of the summit’s lead planners, said this was also a great opportunity for students to learn about additional resources on campus and network with the alumni and professionals visiting UO. They also invited clubs to participate, which included No Lost Generation, a student group established to help refugees who want to attend college. The group set up a model refugee tent in the EMU Fishbowl to show what living like a refugee is like, and it included supplies like mats to sleep on, laundry and dishes. Time and money were obstacles while planning this project. Over the summer, it was difficult to meet and discuss ideas for the summit, and their starting budget was only around $10,000. The exact amount spent is not known as of yet. “We had so many ideas that we generated that we had to cut loose,� Shiroma said. “There were way more things that we wanted to do than we were able to do.� According to Harmon, the speakers and participants in the events were all volunteers. “They found that when they asked students do you self-identify as an entrepreneur most of them would say no, but if you said the term innovator they would self-identify,� Harmon said. Organizers plan on making this an annual event, especially with the reception they received. “We’re engaged in this because we believe in it,� said Vee Chan, another student organizer. “We believe that this can work.� M O N D AY, O C T O B E R 3 0 , 2 0 1 7

UO CREATES POLICY TO COUNTERACT GENDER-BASED DISCRIMINATION BY HANNAH KANIK • TWITTER @HANNAH_KANIK The University of Oregon recently enacted a new “Responsible Reportingâ€? policy aimed at empowering survivors of sexual assault and discrimination. Darci Heroy, associate vice president and Title IX coordinator, worked with the university Senate appointed Responsible Reporting Working Group to create the new policy that became effective on Sept. 15th. The new policy is directed at the student’s interests, requiring university employees to take actions in terms of reporting based on what the student wants to do. Both national research and the research conducted by UO psychology professor Jennifer Freyd concluded survivors need control over the reporting process to recover fully. The policy has received positive feedback from the faculty as well as the University Senate. Senate President Chris Sinclair said of the new policy, “I’m extremely happy with it. I think it will be a model policy for a lot of universities.â€? The “Responsible Reportingâ€? policy is intended to make reporting instances of sexual harassment and gender based discrimination tailored to fulfill the survivor’s needs. All university employees hold the same responsibility in this process to ensure students have accessibility to the same resources
and are all treated equally and supported fully. “One of the things that’s really important to someone healing in that context is regaining some autonomy — some control over themselves — because it’s such an intimate violation. That loss of control is part of the harm,� Heroy said. According to Heroy, students expressed that there was a fear of immediate reporting and lack of a say in the process. Previously, the policy required only certain employees to be reporters and did not take into account the affected student’s needs. Heroy stated the new policy clarifies the duties of the university employees by educating them on how to help a student that comes forward with a report. If a student wants to file an official report, the university employee contacts the Title IX coordinator. If a student does not want to file an official report, the university employee directs the student to various confidential resources to ensure the student is supported and helped. “If a student wants you to report, then you help them do that. If they don’t, then you still have some obligation to connect them with support and resources,� Heroy said. The University worked to ensure that these resources were accessible to both faculty and students as well. Employees have access to an
online reporting tool that allows them to report the instance and lists various resources to direct students to, including the 24-hour SAFE hotline and the University Health Center. Assistant Director for Orientation Programs Keith Frazee said, “We share the safe.uoregon.edu website with all new students multiple times during their orientation and transition to the UO. From that site, options for reporting and support seem clear, and I sincerely hope those most needing the information are able to access it easily.� Last year, a similar policy was drafted but failed in the senate by one vote. The policy focused more on the administrators rather than the survivors, which prompted a group of students to give “a very impassioned testimony about how their experience [under the previous policy] traumatized them, and how the policy that was proposed at the time would not change things substantially,� said Senate President Chris Sinclair. The Senate responded by creating the policy that is in effect today, which aims to empower survivors and grant them autonomy. “I want students to feel empowered, to seek help [and] to know that we are here and interested in helping them be successful and completing their education and achieving their goals,� Heroy stated.

NEW KNIGHT CAMPUS RENDERINGS
BY HANNAH KANIK • TWITTER @HANNAH_KANIK The University of Oregon revealed the renderings for the new Knight Campus for Accelerated Scientific Impact on Friday. President Michael Schill and Patrick Phillips, the Executive Director of the new campus, announced the development of the Knight Campus in the Giustina Ballroom of the Ford Alumni Center to a crowd of approximately 200 people including faculty, alumni and community members. The new campus was funded by Phil and Penny Knight’s
donation of $500 million in October 2016, as well as a $50 million donation from the Oregon state legislature. The new campus, set to open in 2020, will house research facilities and resources for students to collaborate and innovate more than they ever have before and invite acclaimed faculty to the University. The university has been working for the past eight months to create a design for the facility. Read the rest at dailyemerald.com.

UO FOOD STUDIES PROGRAM’S FIRST GRADUATES
Last year’s divisive political season left many Americans feeling like it is hopeless to discuss the local implications of national issues with people who have different opinions than them. Even on a largely progressive college campus like the University of Oregon, these topics can be difficult to discuss candidly. But the UO food studies program uses food as a way to talk about issues of sustainability, class and race. The program embraces the idea that food can spur important conversations
because food encompasses economics, science and culture. Ultimately, everyone needs to eat. The program began in 2013 as a specialization for graduate students, but as of fall 2016, undergraduates can earn a minor in food studies. Students in the 24-credit undergraduate minor and the 18-credit graduate specialization take electives like Civic Agriculture, Gender Issues in Nutritional Anthropology and Soil Science.

A NIGHT OF CRIME:
A HALLOWEEN WEEKEND RIDE ALONG WITH UOPD BY CASEY CROWLEY • TWITTER @CASEYCROWLEY55 UOPD Officer Adam Lillengreen had just booked an offender at the Lane County Jail when a call crackled in over the barely-audible dispatch radio, alerting Lillengreen to a possible cardiac arrest a few blocks away. Lillengreen flipped on his lights and sirens and raced to the location — an alley between Olive and Willamette streets near the Hult Center. As he pulled up, his headlights splashed across the body of a woman lying motionless on the pavement. Dark red streams of what looked like blood had collected near her head and waist. Lillengreen sprinted towards the woman. As more Eugene PD patrol cars pulled up, Lillengreen leaned over the woman and pressed two fingers into her neck to check for a pulse. He couldn’t find one. Eugene resident Chris McCarthy stood off to the side. McCarthy had been walking home from work when he spotted the woman. “I thought that it might have been like a Halloween prank at first, and it definitely was not and I started to realize all the blood around her and immediately called 9-1-1,â€? McCarthy said. It seemed clear that the woman was dead —

so Lillengreen walked away from her body to interview McCarthy. Eugene police are still investigating the cause of death, and are asking anyone with potential information to contact them. This was the last scene I witnessed during my four-hour “ride along� with the UOPD on Friday, October 27. A Halloweekend ride-along Ride along programs are a part of community outreach — a way for police departments to show the community what policing is really like. As my first ride along, I had no idea what to expect — my only prior experience with policing was a few speeding tickets and media representations on news and TV shows. Eugene has a history of riots and high numbers of alcohol-related citations on Halloween itself, as well as the weekend before it — an unofficial party holiday known by UO students as “Halloweekend.� This history dates back to a riot in 1996, when 200 people threw bottles and rocks at police officers who were trying to break up a party. As recently as 2006, police shut down a party held at the Delta Sigma
Phi fraternity; it resulted in 189 people receiving citations from Eugene Police and the event being shut down. This year Halloween is on Tuesday, so I took a ride along with UOPD Officer Adam Lillengreen the Friday before Halloween. I wanted to see how police would handle one of the biggest party nights at the UO, but during the ride along, I didn’t see many parties. What I saw was police work that was more important than just breaking up parties. Lillengreen has been at UO since 2008 and has dealt with only one significant Halloween riot in his time here. “[This year] I have not heard any intel on any special or big events outside of just the normal Halloween parties,� said Lillengreen. Unlike most professions, police officers have to deal with death on a fairly regular basis. Lillengreen said he has seen people die mostly from drug overdoses and suicides. “As a police officer, I don’t have time to really experience the emotion of an incident like that. I have to act, and I have to make sure that people are safe, and I have to preserve life,� said Lillengreen as
we drove away from the scene. “Come 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. when I am not doing anything — then I’ll start getting emotional.” After the woman was confirmed dead and Lillengreen talked to a witness, we left. Eugene Police handle cases like this while UOPD focuses on crimes that affects UO or occur around the campus. An up-close look at the local drug problem Earlier in the night while on patrol, Lillengreen spotted a man on a bike carrying an extra bike tire that he thought may have been stolen. He stopped the car; we were hidden from the man’s view at a stop light off of Franklin Boulevard, waiting for him to make a traffic violation. “That BMX bike guy — he had a bike tire with him so I don’t know if he stole it,” said Lillengreen. “We are going to try and catch him — you have got to be sneaky about it. See that pedestrian signal there? We are going to see if he will cross the street against that pedestrian signal.” The man did and Lillengreen said that was a $150 violation. When we first passed the man on his bike, I didn’t see him —but Lillengreen did. Cops are always looking for suspicious activity while on patrol and need to be much more aware of their surroundings than the average person. “When I am on patrol, I am a visual deterrent… just looking to keep the university and college kids safe; that is the main thing,” said Lillengreen. While questioning the man, who later identified himself as Ryan Arvin, 28, Lillengreen was able to determine that Arvin was on heroin. After Arvin consented, Lillengreen searched him — if he had not consented to a search, Lillengreen had probable cause, since Arvin had a meth pipe on him in plain sight. During the search, Lillengreen found methamphetamine, heroin, a pipe that had residue from smoking meth, tin foil with more heroin on it and a straw used for smoking heroin all on Arvin’s person. Lillengreen tested both the meth and heroin with field drug test kits that require a small sample of the drug and show a certain color depending on the drug; turning blue for meth and green for heroin. Both test results were positive but were sent to a lab for further testing to confirm the results. Lillengreen is a UOPD drug recognition expert, which means he has advanced training in recognizing when someone is under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Lillengreen said it is rare for U.S. police officers to be drug recognition experts. “It really ties in and deals with impaired driving quite a bit, and prescription medication is a big reason why people are driving impaired,” said Lillengreen. He also said that on an average weekend, impaired driving is the most serious offense that he deals with. After finding the drugs and paraphernalia, Lillengreen arrested Arvin for two felonies: unlawful possession of heroin and unlawful possession of meth. On our way to the jail, Lillengreen and I asked Arvin questions about his history with drugs and crime. We drove to the Lane County jail with the 6-foot-2-inch man in the back seat. Dark and messy hair draped from his head. He wore baggy clothes, had a tattoo on his neck and looked like he had not slept well in days.
In the back seat with his hands cuffed, Arvin told us he had been using heroin since he was 14 years old. He said he doesn’t even enjoy the drug or the feeling it gives anymore, and he wishes he could stop. The calm before the crime Around 9 p.m., Lillengreen, two other police cars and two officers on motorcycles escorted the UO football team to a hotel in Springfield where they stayed the night before the game. A common practice of college football teams, the hotel stay allows for team bonding before the game. “They also get escorted in the morning and EPD helps with that and there is a lot more [police cars],” said Lillengreen. After arriving at the hotel, a middle-aged woman with a UO blanket draped around her shoulders approached me while we were waiting to head back to Eugene and told me to thank the police for the job they do. There were multiple other instances throughout the night where members of the UO community greeted officer Lillengreen with kindness and respect. One response was to a report of alcohol poisoning in one of the UO dorms. When we got to the bathroom door, the student was vomiting in a stall, and members of the Eugene Fire Department were in the bathroom talking to the student’s friends to determine if he needed to go the hospital. After a few minutes, his friends carried him home to a different building. Lillengreen gave no citations. Oregon law deems that a call to 911, when an under-age person is in danger from drinking, will not end with a minor in possession charge. Sometimes, Lillengreen likes to have a little fun. He spotted a group of students in costumes waiting at a bus stop and rolled up next to them. Rolling down his window, he asked the group if they wanted to take pictures, and the students began screaming with excitement. They took pictures of themselves in their costumes, with Lillengreen and his patrol car. Lillengreen also stopped two different cars that were driving erratically but didn’t give either of them a citation. One instance occurred when a car came around a corner at a high rate of speed, while the other occurred when a car was driving recklessly while trying to find parking around 12th and Ferry. “I like to be educational. Not always though, because sometimes if someone is driving 100 miles an hour down Ferry Street Bridge that seems like it is pretty severe of an offense and that probably warrants a citation, but say that guy forgets to turn his turn signal on — there is nothing saying that I have to give him a citation,” said Lillengreen. I was with Lillengreen for only four hours, and I saw alcohol poisoning, the effects of drug addiction, and the aftermath of a death. He is dealing with the worst moments in people’s lives on a daily basis. The night ended after the we left the scene of the woman’s death. Lillengreen dropped me off at the police department. Before I drove home, I thanked him and wished him luck. The first hour started slow — but things became more intense as the night went on. For a brief moment at the end of the night, after seeing the dead woman, I felt that I had a glimpse into how difficult it can be to work as a police officer.

OPINION
UO NEEDS TO ITS PREVENTION COURSES BY MADDIE ADKINS The University of Oregon recently launched a new online program for alcohol education and prevention with “Third Millennium Classrooms” as part of an effort to reduce substance abuse and sexual misconduct on our campus. All incoming students are required to go through the two-part program during freshman orientation. With lengthy sessions on sexual assault and mandatory “Get Explicit 101” meetings, the message is clear: the University of Oregon takes sexual misconduct seriously. I recognize that there is no perfect way to discuss the issue of sexual assault, and that there are very dedicated staff working all the time to improve the UO’s programming around this issue. But the portion of the course titled “Consent & Respect,” which is a new addition to UO’s alcohol prevention course, was tasteless and poorly executed. While UO acknowledges that going through this module can be “difficult or triggering” for victims of sexual assault and provides the standard list of safe-space resources, I’d rather not have to bring up those emotions again in the first place. A culture shift needs to occur around the manner in which universities talk about and address the issue of sexual assault. Rolling through the classic scenarios between a male and a female where the male takes advantage of a female who’s gotten too drunk at a party are just insufficient and often only invalidate the
experiences that don’t fit into this model. A few months ago, I was finally able to tell my parents about my sexual assault after spending years feeling invalidated, repressing my memories and forcing myself to believe that what had happened to me was perfectly normal, and it was the most difficult conversation I’d ever had with them. Then, in the UO online module, I watched a parallel scene: a cartoon girl saying to her cartoon male friend, “I think I was… raped,” and breaking into dramatic cartoon tears. I felt angry. One of my most personal, distressing and confusing experiences was reduced to a crude cartoon experience. It felt like the sad-face emojis that people have been commenting on one another’s “Me too” Facebook posts — like a pat on the shoulder, a minimization of the shock and grief that characterized that time in my life. Having to click through the incessant number of slides in the UO online module, along with sitting through a long Get Explicit session on top of everything at freshman orientation, I didn’t feel triggered — I felt bombarded. And even worse was when I heard two students sitting behind me bursting into laughter in reaction to a crude student-actor portrayal of one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. The problem with dramatizing these scenes in this way is that it reduces these painful,
distressing experiences to nothing but juvenile role-plays or animations, which, though wellintentioned, create opportunities for these issues to be mocked instead of taken seriously. That’s one of the reasons it can be so difficult to process experiences of sexual assault — people often unknowingly invalidate your experience, and you start to wonder if what happened to you was actually real. Hearing someone making fun of this situation, I felt more invalidated than ever. Though I was instructed to “take care of myself” and spaces were provided for me to speak with someone if I needed it, I felt as though leaving the classroom in the middle of the session would be drawing attention to a very personal experience, in front of peers I’d only just met. What would it look like if victims of sexual assault were given different material and messaging that didn’t degrade or invalidate their experiences; that didn’t force them to watch distressing scenarios over and over or to relive their experiences if they didn’t want to? The reality is that sexual assault prevention and education simply cannot be one-size-fitsall. The messaging that would wake up would-be predators is neither acceptable, accessible nor helpful for victims. If the University of Oregon truly wants to prioritize this issue, then there needs to be a real overhaul of these programs.

đ&#x;“Ł OPINION RESPONSE TO SCHILL’S NYT COLUMN BY VERONICA FERNANDEZ-ALVARADO On Oct. 13, University of Oregon President Michael Schill wrote an opinion column for the New York Times on the protest that happened earlier this month. His column criticized the students who interrupted his State of the University Address, stating that silencing him was not a proper form of protest. Schill ignores the position of power he has as the university president and the different set of regulations that are given to him as a leader of this institution. In his column Schill states that, “One of the students who stormed the stage during my talk told the news media to ‘expect resistance to anyone who opposes us.’ That is awfully close to the language and practices of and those the students say they vehemently oppose.â€? The reality is that these students are marginalized students from an institution that Schill leads. They demand respect and fair treatment after almost a century of neglect. The protester said this because they were done with the mistreatment and wanted to make it clear that they will continue to fight for the rights of all marginalized students on campus. Schill also states that these protestors were moving further from helping people. “Rather than helping people who feel they have little power or voice, students who squelch speech alienate those who are most likely to be sympathetic to their message.â€? These students are people who feel that they have little power or voice. That is why they interrupted Schill’s speech. A concern that is often shared is that administration brushes these students off by writing an email lightly addressing their struggles then leaving them to face their problems alone. They needed to make sure that University leaders were there to listen
and they needed to do that in a way that made it harder for Schill to brush them aside. Later in this column Schill mentions the “success� that the UO had when confronted with the Black Student Task Force in 2015. “I invited the students in for a discussion, and although the matters we discussed, about systemic racism and educational opportunity, were emotionally charged, we established a respectful dialogue. More important, the discussion led to change.� The difference here was that Black students all around the country were getting their University Presidents fired and Schill feared losing his job, so there was no choice but to listen and comply. Which by the way wasn’t fully done. The BSTF list of demands is still unfilled -- only five of 12 have been checked off. The UO didn’t remove the name The PhotoBooth is a customized backdropped photo set-up that allows guest of Deady Hall even though that was the first demand on the list: “Change at your events to capture moments in time.

đ&#x;“Ł OPINION
University of Oregon protesters hold up signs on the EMU Ballroom stage at the State of the University Address.. (Sarah Northrop)
WHY WE PROTESTED BY ELAINA COLUSSI
“Nothing about us without us.� That’s what 80+ students and I chanted as we took the stage on Oct. 6. President Schill has ignored student concerns for a long time, so we decided to protest in a way that he simply could not overlook. Students have sought to work with the administration using sanctioned means. For example, the LGBTQA3 put on a protest in Johnson Hall last April. President Schill came to meet with them and he brought Vice President for Student Life Kevin Marbury with him. Members of the QA3 were listing demands and sharing concerns; Mr. Marbury said the UO would work on meeting the demands. Charlie Landeros, one of the protesters, asked how they could be sure that anything would be done, since in the past the UO has simply ignored students’ concerns. Landeros said that Schill told him, “He is the president and only he gets to decide what happens at this school, not [us].� After he said that, he “walked out of the meeting. He walked out as students were talking to him. He said that he had a ‘diversity’ training that he was late for,� according to Landeros. He claims that students should arrange meetings with either him or someone from his administration instead of protesting, but when students did arrange a meeting, he walked out as they were talking to him. After the demonstration, President Schill framed himself as a victim of “disruptive� protestors who don’t understand the “value of free speech.� He ignores, however, the fact that students do not have the same abilities that he does. Students cannot email every student, faculty member, staff member and alum detailing their grievances. He sent an email condemning students for “shutting down another person’s right to speak.� This is ironic, considering he was able to send a recording of PA G E 1 2

his speech to every person with a UO email address as well as publish an Op Ed in the New York Times. He claims to support free speech, yet he has condemned and neglected the voices of marginalized students on campus while ensuring our campus is a safe space for local Nazis such as Jimmy Marr and hate groups such as the Genocide Awareness Project. It’s clear he only values some free speech, and it’s not that of his own students. In the email, he announced a lecture and panel series for teaching students about “the value of free speech,� which is condescending and paternalistic. Last year, President Schill proposed a policy to the Senate that would restrict the time, place and manner of student protest. He revoked it after press coverage and objections from students and faculty, but the fact that he even proposed it in the first place shows how much he cares about free speech. The UO Student Collective — a coalition of student activists that “are taking back power for the students� — released a list of 22 demands, which have four common themes: increasing services to marginalized students, easing the financial burden of students, increasing support of staff and student workers and publicly condemning the increasing amounts of hate speech, white supremacist propaganda and alt-right organizing on and near campus. Other demands include: beginning to cut carbon emissions immediately, increasing access to counseling and mental health services, repealing the decision to require freshmen to live on campus and having a graduate employee on the Board of Trustees. He criticized us for protesting, but he should be thanking us for taking action and having the courage to speak with passion about how the University of Oregon can be improved. After all, it is our university.

Oregon cornerback Arrion Springs (1) breaks up a pass intended for Utah Utes wide receiver Darren Carrington II (9). (Adam Eberhardt)
Autzen Stadium is known for getting loud. The loudest it got on Saturday might have come when former Duck Darren Carrington II was hit and fumbled the ball, which Ducks’ cornerback Ugo Amadi scooped up and returned for a touchdown in Oregon’s 41-20 win over Utah. “That was big time because we harp on that so much in practice,” head coach Taggart said. “We have coaches running after our guys all the time in practice telling them to ‘strip the ball, strip the ball, strip the ball.’ That was a huge play for us and that was a big momentum change in the football game for us. That was big.” Carrington’s return loomed over the Ducks’ game against the Utes after Taggart dismissed him following a DUII in July. Carrington had nine receptions for 130 yards; Oregon managed to contain its former star wideout. Carrington had a difficult time going up against some of his old teammates in the end

zone and on jump balls. “It was real good going against a highly-drafted player here to come, we’re just competing,” Amadi said. “It’s really hard so you’ve gotta have fun and make plays.” Arrion Springs was one of the players tasked to slow down Carrington. “It was a fun time. We heard throughout the week ‘Darren this, gonna do this,’” Springs said. “Overall I felt we did great and we stopped him from scoring. Because, you know, ‘I wonder what he’s gonna do when he scores a touchdown.’ We’ll never know.” Tyler Huntley managed to go 25-for-43, tallying 293 yards. But the Utes’ quarterback couldn’t find Carrington for a touchdown. “I thought they did a good job, and all week long we said we weren’t gonna make this game about Darren Carrington coming back here,” Taggart said. “We had to play total defense and play the entire
offense and I thought our guys did a great job of containing their offense.” Former Oregon wide receiver Dwayne Stanford II voiced his displeasure on Twitter regarding the fans’ treatment of Carrington, tweeting, “Can’t believe ya’ll booed Darren.” “It’s too bad,” Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said of Carrington’s reception at Autzen. “He’s an athlete trying hard, playing hard but that’s the nature of the world I guess. That’s how we operate. It’s too bad, but he’s a good kid and he played hard.” Like Stanford, some Ducks, including Taggart, showed that they are still fond of the ex-Duck, meeting with him on the field after the game. “I told him I was proud of him and keep working hard and keep his nose clean and learn and keep growing, you know,” Taggart said. “And that’s probably more than anything is to keep growing and learn from his mistakes and work hard.”
OREGON WOMEN COME SECOND, MEN FOURTH IN PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIPS BY SHAWN MEDOW • TWITTER @SHAWNMEDOW SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Early on in the 2017 Pac-12 Cross Country Championships, Oregon’s Katie Rainsberger felt something in her hair. It was the snapping of her hair tie, undoing her hair slowly throughout the race. “I tried to not let it affect me,” she said. “I was like, ‘well I guess I just gotta run with it.’” Rainsberger finished second (18 minutes, 58.5 seconds) behind Colorado’s Dani Jones (18:57.3). The women’s team finished second behind
Colorado as well, improving from a fourth-place finish at last year’s conference championship. The men, who also came fourth at last season’s meet, managed the same feat this year, coming fourth behind Stanford, Colorado and UCLA. “I think that we as a team are really good going into races with a process-oriented approach rather than an outcome-oriented approach,” Rainsberger said. “And if you look at where we are this year compared to where we were last year, I think

we’re two steps ahead, two places ahead, and you don’t want to lose but that was never the goal.” In similar fashion to the many races the two compete in, Jones and Rainsberger were neck-and-neck for the vast majority of the race, but Jones eventually kicked ahead. Oregon’s Lilli Burdon was the next best Duck in the women’s race, finishing sixth in 19:07.8. “I just wanted to come out and have a really good race today,” Burdon said. “We’ve been coming off with some hard training behind us. Focus was just to get out and execute a solid race as a team and put together the best race that each of us could. … It’s another step in the right direction.” Colorado’s women have now won three straight Pac-12 Championships, while Stanford’s men snapped Colorado’s streak of consecutive conference titles since the Buffaloes joined the conference in 2011. The Ducks ran with only six on the women’s side, as Alli Cash did not race. In the weeks ahead, though, that will change. “I think we’ll have some more depth in the next races which
will be nice,” Burton said. “But we all trust each other and trust each other’s abilities.” The men ran without Matthew Maton, but their gap behind the rest of the field was too large to overcome. “He was close,” associate head coach Andy Powell said. “I think if we would have brought him back, he would have helped us for sure. I don’t think he would have made the difference that we would have needed. If we would have lost by a point or two I would have been kicking myself for not running him.” Cooper Tease was the highest finisher for the Oregon men, coming in sixth in 23:59.4. Tanner Anderson was the Ducks’ next best runner, finishing in 22nd. “They were trying, and that’s what I like about this group of guys — they commit to the race plan and they do the best they can to execute it,” Powell said. “Usually it works out, but just this time they ran out of gas there at the end there.” Up next for the Ducks will be the West Regionals in Seattle on Nov. 10 ahead of the NCAA Championships in Louisville, KY on Nov. 18.

OREGON WOMEN’S BASKETBALL BEATS PORTLAND STATE 88-60 IN CHARITY EXHIBITION BY SHAWN MEDOW • TWITTER @SHAWNMEDOW Oregon forward Satou Sabally (0) drives past a Portland State player. (Adam Eberhardt)
During the women’s basketball exhibition game on Saturday, there was no score on the scoreboard. The focus wasn’t on who won the game; it was on helping others. Oregon women’s basketball hosted an early-morning charity exhibition against Portland State to raise money for wildfire relief through the American Red Cross. The Ducks won the game 88-60, but the score was never that important. “We all obviously love the state of Oregon; it’s a beautiful state,” head coach Kelly Graves said. “This was neat – a really good byproduct was the fact we got to play live. Our fans got to see us. They’re all here for a reason. Looked like it was a pretty good crowd. This was a good day all in all — everybody won.” Sophomore Sabrina Ionescu picked up where she left off after last season’s stellar freshman year. She scored 23 points for the Ducks while grabbing six rebounds and making six assists. Ruthy Hebard can say the same. She had a double-double with 14 points and added 11 assists. “She’s getting stronger in the weight room and that’s definitely helping her get off the ground and get some boards,” Ionescu said. Freshmen Satou Sabally and Anneli Maley were impressive in their Matt Knight Arena debuts – the two international players were the Ducks’ first two off the bench.
Sabally scored seven points while Maley scored six and grabbed five rebounds. “Satou took a little bit of time to kind of get her feet wet, but once she did, people got to see how special she can be,” Graves said. “And then Anneli just works her butt off. She’s great on the boards, you know: just plays hard, real versatile, can guard anybody.” Graves has stressed the importance on improving the team’s defense throughout the offseason. “I learned that we’ve got a lot of work to do defensively,” Graves said. “We got a lot of work to do communication-wise still. We’re trying to switch up our defenses a lot and there were three or four occasions after timeouts where we didn’t really know what we were in.” At halftime, the Ducks led 46-31. The second half gave the Ducks the chance to pull away, and they did just that once the jitters went away. “We definitely picked it up in that second half and I think people started to get more comfortable playing and it showed,” Ionescu said. “We played way better in the second half defensively and offensively than we did in the first half.” The Ducks’ first competitive game is Nov. 5 at Matt Knight Arena against Westmont, a Santa Barbarabased NAIA school.

DUCKS FALL TO COLORADO 2-0 ON SENIOR DAY BY AARON ALTER • TWITTER @AARONALTER95 Oregon soccer ended its 2017 home schedule with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Buffaloes on Senior Day at Papé Field on Sunday. The loss pushes the Ducks (810-0, 2-8-0 Pac-12) out of range of a 10-win season, a goal preached by head coach Kat Mertz since the start of the year. The defeat also ruins Oregon’s hope of making the NCAA tournament. “Senior day is always emotional,” Mertz said. “Everyone wants to play hard for the seniors. They want to send them out on a good note. ... Just a little unfortunate with the goals.” Colorado’s goals both came in the second half. Tatum Barton struck first, firing a shot across goalkeeper Halla Hinriksdóttir and into the net in the 69th minute. The Buffaloes second goal came in the 81st minute, when Taylor Kornieck headed the ball home, putting her team up 2-0. Most of the match was an even affair. The first half, in particular, was a physical, defensive battle. The Ducks only managed three shots in the first half, while Colorado fired off seven. Thanks to rock-solid play and five saves from Hinriksdóttir, the Buffs were held scoreless through the opening 45 minutes. The highlight of the first half came on a two-part save from Hinriksdóttir in the 37th minute. After diving to stop a Colorado free kick from Kornieck, the keeper managed to stop a followup attempt at point blank range. Oregon delivered more of an offensive push in the second half, Oregon Ducks defender Brianne Parsons (22) protecting the ball from going out of bounds. (Ben Green)
notching nine shots. Colorado keeper Jalen Tompkins stepped up with five saves to hold off the attacking Ducks. For the Ducks, emotions ran high after the game as seniors Mia Costa, Abby Morrow, Caitlyn Wong, Michelle Rockey, Miranda Schulz and Jordan Fleming left the pitch at Papé Field for the final time. “It’s bad of me to say, but it’s good to see the players sad because it means that we did our job as seniors,” Morrow said. “The emotions are definitely high. They’re good, they’re bad, they’re sad. They’re all over.” Morrow also noted the amount of change the team went through in her four-year tenure with the Ducks, saying that the culture and closeness shared by her teammates was “awesome.” The day proved bittersweet for Hinriksdóttir, who has one more year of eligibility due to a redshirt year despite being the same age as many of the seniors. “I’ve got a lot of mixed feelings right now,” Hinriksdóttir said. “I’m happy I’m coming back. But they’ve had amazing careers — all of them.” While a loss on senior day is a tough pill to swallow, the Ducks are already looking forward to their season finale clash with the Oregon State Beavers. “The Civil War — it’s not so civil,” Morrow said. “There’s definitely that component of physicality. Just gotta be strong and get your body in there. Match the intensity, match the physicality and beat OSU.” The Ducks will take on the Beavers on Nov. 2 in Corvallis at 1:30 p.m.

and fellow Odd Future member Frank Ocean. Entirely self-produced by Tyler, the Creator, “Flower Boy� is the most well-refined record the 26-year-old rapper has ever released. Lyrical themes of loneliness and introspection fit well with the album’s intricate musical arrangements and stunning harmonies. Tyler’s stop at the McDonald Theatre this weekend will mark his first stop in Eugene since he opened for A$AP Rocky at Matthew Knight in fall 2015. His longtime friend, Taco, will open the show.
Tyler, the Creator kicked off a worldwide tour in support of his fourth studio album “Flower Boy� with backto-back performances in Los Angeles on Halloween weekend. Two years after the release of his mostly disappointing third studio album “Cherry Bomb,� Tyler, the Creator’s 2017 record peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-hop charts. Singles “Who Dat Boy� and “911/Mr. Lonely� both reached the top 50 on Billboard’s top R&B/Hip-hop songs chart. The record features a list of star-studded guest performances that includes A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne

đ&#x;“– COVER Owners of Captain Crook Records, Whitney Allen and Slade Nevin, Eugene, Ore. 27 Oct, 2017. (Madi Mather)
EUGENE’S CAPTAIN CROOK RECORDS REMAINS AT THE “HEART OF DIY� MUSIC BY NIC CASTILLON Before Eugene’s Slade Nevin began his own record label, “Captain Crook� was just the name of his disabled cat. “Its neck was broken to the left, its tail was broken to the right, so it walked sideways,� Nevin said. Crook passed away but lives on: his name is memorialized through Nevin’s record label, founded in 2008. “It was a made-up label at first,� Nevin said. “I put [Captain Crook] on my own demo CDs and people asked me who it was.� Nearly a decade later, Captain Crook Records has over 100 releases in its back catalog and remains one of Eugene’s most unique homegrown record labels. Nevin runs the label alongside his partner Whitney Allen, who started helping out around 2014. Around that time, the label began to release music on a more consistent, month-by-month basis. Most of Captain Crook’s releases fall into the bedroom pop or lo-fi categories, but the music is very eclectic. Since Captain Crook is entirely independent, the label works with a diverse group of artists. “We listen to a lot of stuff,� Allen said. “It’s very rare that we don’t think something will mesh with us.� Past releases have ranged from earnest songwriting to experimental noise projects. Nevin’s original intent may have been to release local music, but that focus soon shifted. “We don’t really do Eugene artists,� he said. “I tried when we started but nobody really wanted to at that time.� The label features some artists based in Oregon, but many PA G E 4

of Captain Crook’s releases come from artists based in other parts of the country, such as the Midwest or the East Coast. Most of this happened through word of mouth. Some way or another, an artist looking to release their music will happen upon the label. “It’s always someone knows someone,� Nevin said. “We don’t really go scout people because it’s too much work.� Captain Crook also places a large emphasis on physical media. In addition to digital albums on the website Bandcamp, the label releases music on CD, cassette and even floppy disc formats. But Nevin will tell you physical media is dead. “It’s just a novelty almost at this point,� he said. “But I like physical media and I buy physical media, so that’s why I keep doing it.� And clearly others share that same sentiment; almost every CD or cassette release sells out online. “I think we got on that trendy form of media,� Allen said. “People just like that they can go pick up a cassette. They probably won’t listen to it, but it will sit on the shelf somewhere and look rad.� Nevin and Allen assemble each physical release at home, so it helps that the cassettes are much easier to make than CDs. “You can just flip on the dubber and watch ‘Dragon Ball Z’ instead of sitting at a computer doing it,� Nevin said. This approach sets Captain Crook apart, as very few labels do all of the work entirely in house. In Allen’s words: “It is still truly the heart of DIY.�
Profit is not much of a priority either. With most releases, Captain Crook just intends to break even. “Every release is a gamble,� Nevin says. “I’ve learned over the years how to make it a little bit cheaper so we can keep our prices cheaper.� The two owners both have their own day jobs, and in a way, the label is just a hobby. “It’s just a way for us to help people get their music out there,� Allen said. “And we enjoy doing it.� Next year marks the label’s 10-year anniversary, and the couple has a number of things planned for the celebration. Special Captain Crook coffee cups, stickers and basketball hoops are in the works, in addition to a four-hour outtakes compilation. “It’s gonna be all throwaway music,� Nevin said. “So I want to call it ‘Four Hours of Throwaway Music From a Throwaway Label.’� As far as future goals go, Nevin and Allen would love to see a Captain Crook storefront, or even a music venue. “A lot of parents have problems sending their kids to a house for a house show,� Allen said. “If we did do a space, it would definitely be all ages. I want to see more community involvement.� But for now, Captain Crook’s owners just want to continue helping people get their music out there. “We just like that people are making things,� said Allen. “We send [the bands] their tapes and they are always stoked.� For Nevin and Allen, being a part of that process is what makes running Captain Crook worthwhile.
