UOPD INTRODUCES THE UO CAMPUS SHUTTLE BY FRANKIE BENITEZ • TWITTER @0ITSFRANKIE0 University of Oregon students now have another option for getting home at night. This month, the UO Campus Shuttle was created by the UO Police Department and student volunteers. It is a free shuttle for students. The shuttle runs on a route similar to a bus, and students, faculty and staff members can wait at the set stops to be picked up. A UO ID is required to ride. The vans are easily recognizable due to the christmas lights and magnetic signs on the two vans. The shuttle runs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to midnight. They follow a route with 11 stops.
UO HANDED OUT 509 DRUG OR ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS FALL TERM BY CASEY CROWLEY • TWITTER @CASEYCROWLEY55 During fall term of 2017, there were a total of 416 liquor law violation citations and 93 drug law violation citations given in the 10 residence halls at UO. This comes to a total of 509 drug or alcohol law violations, according to the UOPD clerg log. These violations are usually minors in possession of alcohol or marijuana but can be any violation of university policy or the residence hall contract that is related to possession or use of controlled substances, according to UOPD spokesmen Kelly McIver. Drug law violations can refer to any non-alcohol controlled substance such as marijuana, misused prescription drugs or any other illegal drugs. Despite the fact that marijuana is legal in Oregon for anyone over the age of 21, it is not allowed on the UO campus. With residence hall occupancy at 4,160 people, as much as 12 percent of students living in the residence halls may have received a citation for a drug

Hamilton also had the most drug law violations at 39. The Living Learning Center has the most liquor law violations with 83. On the other end of the spectrum, Walton hall had the least combined violations with only 14 in total. Despite having the most liquor law violations, LLC had the fewest drug law violations with only one. Riley hall had the lowest number of alcohol law violations with seven. On average, there were 7.6 citations given every day during the term. Of the 509 violations, 414 of them occurred in residence halls between Villard Street and Kincaid Street. The rest of them occurred in Barnhart hall and Riley hall. Barnhart had the majority of the violations between the two with 80 of the 95.

The UO Campus Shuttle was created to help alleviate Safe Ride and the Designated Driver Shuttle, which are ride options that already exist for students. Like Safe Ride and DDS, the UO campus shuttle is a part of UOPD. The shuttle is funded by the Division of Student Life and UOPD, while Safe Ride and DDS use student funds to operate. “Safe Ride and DDS are doing a great job and are very popular programs. But there just isn’t the current capacity to serve everyone who needs a ride, and not all potential riders will choose to use a call-ahead service,” UOPD spokesman Kelly McIver wrote in a statement.

data, 6,361 students were turned away in the 2016-17 school year because Safe Ride was overbooked. The shuttle is in a trial period at this time, according to McIver, and if it is found to be useful and operable, it will be launched officially in the fall of 2018. Kylan Carlson, UO senior and assistant to UOPD Chief Michael Carmichael, said that, just like Safe Ride and DDS, students can ride without fear of getting in trouble. The shuttle’s staff are not mandatory reporters, and they are not required to report underage drinking. “We don’t care if you’re underage or if you’re drinking, but you can’t
have an open container,� Carlson said. In its six days of operation, the shuttle has provided 219 rides to students, faculty and staff according to Carlson. While the drivers are paid positions, navigators are volunteers. They help make sure that riders and the driver are safe and that the bus stays on route. In a statement to The Emerald, organizers of the shuttle wrote, “UO Campus Shuttle is looking for those who don’t mind working late and enjoy talking to people, as well as those who want to help make our campus a better place to live, work and study.�

UO AIMS TO SIMPLIFY GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS BY HANNAH KANIK • TWITTER @HANNAH_KANIK “I was supposed to graduate early, but now I can’t,â€? Sydney Piantes said. Piantes, a junior cinema studies major, thought she was going to graduate from the University of Oregon early at the end of her junior year; however, complicated general education requirements are keeping this from happening. “I messed up my whole situation,â€? Piantes said. “I thought that I could do the Bachelor of Science requirement, but for my cinema studies degree, I have to do a Bachelor of Arts, not science.â€? Piantes took math classes her freshman year that put her behind in pursuing her degree. This mistake is keeping her for an extra year at the UO. The UO is redesigning its general education requirements to better align with the university’s mission statement — and to be less confusing for students — following three warnings from the university’s accreditor. The university has been working since 2015 to improve general education and has changed the name of general education to core education. Senate President Chris Sinclair and Professor and Associate Vice Provost for Academic Excellence Ron Bramhall are facilitating this change. The UO Senate appointed a task force in May 2017 to help streamline the process. Changes to come include simplified terminology for students, missionspecific learning outcomes and new multicultural requirements. UO’s general education requirements are confusing, and many students have trouble determining which courses count towards their requirements, according to Bramhall. The general education requirements have not been changed since the 1990s. The proposed goal is to make the requirements easier to understand and to create and track specific learning outcomes derived from the university’s mission statement. “What the accreditors want is alignment between what we are offering and assessing with the university mission,â€? Sinclair said. UO received its first warning to improve the general education requirements from the university accreditors in 2007, its second in 2009 and its third in 2013. “Certainly accreditation is driving this, I wouldn’t say that it’s the only reason we’re doing it. We should do it because we can make it better for
students,� Bramhall said. The standards set by the university accreditors require the University of Oregon to have learning outcomes derived from the mission statement, as well as ways to assess those learning outcomes. The university is doing neither of those things, according to Bramhall. Bramhall and Sinclair pulled learning outcomes, such as critical thinking, creative thinking, written communication and ethical reasoning, directly from the mission statement to be in the proposed changes. From 2015 to 2017, researchers came to the University of Oregon campus to diagnose issues with the current general education system. Hundreds of students were interviewed, as well as faculty and administration members, according to Bramhall. This will be an ongoing process and will be finalized over the next few years, according to Sinclair. Bramhall and Sinclair presented the issue to the University Senate at their meeting on Jan. 17. They said this would be the first of many conversations about potential changes. The senate created a task force to address this issue last May, and it will be creating a Core education committee in the coming weeks. The University Senate will be voting on legislation that determines the coming changes throughout the term. According to Chris Sinclair, one of the proposed solutions is to create majorspecific tracks to streamline the process for incoming freshmen. For example, if a student came to the university and wanted to major in business, they would take the businessspecific track of study. There, they would take all prerequisites for business classes in conjunction with their general education requirements. If a student was undeclared, they would take a more broad track of study to expose them to more potential majors while still completing their general education requirements. Sinclair said there are several other changes to come within general education following the Core education requirements, such as the BA and BS classifications and the multicultural requirements. “Streamlining the requirements should help students make better progress towards their degree,� Bramhall stated.

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS CLUB GAINS MOMENTUM ON CAMPUS BY RYLEE KAHAN • TWITTER @RYLEEKAHAN Tim Peckham remembers being two years old and playing Super Mario 64. He’s been playing video games ever since then and is now the president of the League of Legends club at the University of Oregon. The “Leagueâ€? club at UO is growing. After losing many members last year, Peckham and Tanner Peterson, club vice president, are focusing this year on rebuilding the club and making it known around campus. Part of the effort to rebuild the club includes having competitive matches with other university League clubs. League is a multiplayer online battle arena created by Riot Games in 2009. Last year’s worldwide championships in China had a total of 73,552,808 streams, according to ESPN’s Esports Charts. The League club meets every even-numbered week on Thursdays at 7 p.m., and they suggest bringing a laptop. The next meeting, Feb. 1, will be in the EMU in room 023. The League club has matches every Saturday that anyone can stream for free on the UO’s Twitch page. The rebuilding effort comes after losing members last year, Peckham said. “But we’re really focusing on putting the pieces back together this year.â€? League has gained so much global popularity, with money following, that there was a $4.6 million prize pool for the 2017 championship, according to the League website. The club gained a boost of attention over winter break from ESPN Esports when they coordinated a league match-up with Boise State University that coincided with the Vegas Bowl. The match was broadcast on Boise State’s
Twitch page, a website similar to YouTube. Peckham estimated a hundred live views during that competition. Twitch is the livestream gaming website that all university League clubs use to broadcast matches to viewers. According to Peckham, it’s been difficult to recruit new members for the club due to the lack of tabling opportunities compared to fall term. Last term, there were up to 50 students at meetings, but after the rooms for meetings have been switched back and forth, the club is down to about 10 students. Last term, the club held auditions for its varsity and junior varsity teams, and its competition schedule coincides with the NCAA basketball season. This is the first season that UO has had competitive League teams. “There’s the regular season, which started Jan. 15,� Peterson said. “There’s the north, south, east and west conference, also the Big Ten Network and the Peach Belt. We all compete in these conferences and it’s swiss format,� Peterson explained. Swiss format is when the first-ranked teams play the last-ranked, until only two teams remain. Matches are against other five-person university League club teams and are best of three. On Saturday, UO’s Varsity team played Pasadena City College, where UO swept the series 2-0. The Varsity team consists of Jared Lawrence (Top), Feiran Chen (Jungle), Sam Cohen (Mid), Triston Rostocil (Bot) and Peterson (Support). “We’re connected with every university in the Pac-12, and we talk to them directly and say, ‘Hey, do you guys want to play?’� Peckham said.
More than just video games Peckham is a senior marketing major and Peterson is a junior computer science major. Together, they coordinate with other schools about matches or other events they would like to have, like the special match with Boise State. After graduating, Peckham would like to work in marketing in Esports. Peckham said that while he’s been playing League for over five years, it’s not his favorite video game, and being part of this club is more like learning how to run an Esports business, which he’s hoping will lead him to his career. Peckham’s favorite League champion is Thresh, who is a support champion that can throw chains out to grab from afar. Peckham has a personal rank of gold, the fifth-highest rank, and he’s been playing since his sophomore year of high school. Collegiate matches do not affect personal League ranks. University of California - Irvine, Columbia College, University of Jamestown and the University of Utah are some of the more than 30 schools across the country that offer Esports scholarships and recruitment programs for student gamers. “Some schools have varsity programs where kids get scholarships, have faculty dedicated to their Esports teams and a computer lab or an arena that they go to,� said David Gugliotti, a UO sports business graduate student that helps run the League club. “Based on the work that I am doing,� Gugliotti said, “we’re going to be getting support, space and recognition much sooner than later from the university.� M O N D AY, J A N U A R Y 2 9 , 2 0 1 8

GUEST: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, CASCADIA!
Jan. 26, 2018 marks the 318th anniversary of the most recent monster earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). In the past 6,000 years or so, these quakes of magnitude 8 or 9 have occurred every 202 years on average. Only once in that period of time has the interval between quakes exceeded 250 years, so the pressure in the CSZ fault has been growing for a very long time. In a way, we’ve been lucky to have avoided this devastating quake and its accompanying tsunami for so long. We’ve had the opportunity to strengthen
our lifelines (roads, bridges, electrical grids, water and wastewater systems, fuel storage depots, etc.) against the damage the quake can cause. But in another way, we’ve been unlucky. We didn’t realize until about 30 years ago that the CSZ was even an active fault, let alone one capable of producing the worst natural disaster to hit North America in modern times. As a result, our building standards were not strong enough to withstand it. Read about some earthquake preparedness tips at dailyemerald.com.
Sequels that outshine the originals are exceedingly rare, but “Paddington 2� pulls this lofty feat off with aplomb. The film has officially broken Rotten Tomatoes’ record for the best-reviewed film, previously set by last year’s “Lady Bird.� Though the “Paddington� films have been huge box office hits in their native United Kingdom, they have yet to fully break through to American audiences despite their
universal critical-acclaim. The film follows Paddington, a wholesome talking bear with a penchant for marmalade sandwiches, as he embarks on a quest to save enough money for the perfect gift for his Aunt Lucy’s birthday — a rare pop-up picture book of London.

REVIEW: ‘PHANTOM THREAD’ BIDS FAREWELL TO DANIEL DAY-LEWIS BY DANA ALSTON • TWITTER @ALSTONDALSTON Paul Thomas Anderson deals in intangibles. The San Fernando wunderkind — the greatest filmmaker of his generation — has spent a career removing himself from the conventions of filmmaking. Context is largely absent from his work, at least the kind that can be audibly explained. This can make watching Anderson’s films a difficult exercise, even if repeated viewings usually reveal masterpieces. “There Will Be Blood,â€? perhaps the best film of the 2000s, transforms
from historical epic to horrific character study with little regard for the audience’s sense of balance. “The Master� tackles religion and belief with the clarity of a brick wall. “Inherent Vice� is technically a comedy, assuming you can weave through the film’s labyrinthian plot (most can’t, and that’s the point). Here is a director light years ahead of his contemporaries, unconcerned with whether you can keep up. Read about Anderson’s stylistic choices at dailyemerald.com.

EXPLORING THE HEART AND VEINS OF CAMPUS BY FRANKIE LEWIS • TWITTER @FLEWIS_1
A student heads to the water fountain during a break in class. A professor, preparing a lecture, turns on the lights in the classroom with the flick of a switch. After a day in the laboratory, a research assistant washes their hands with hot water. The University of Oregon community relies on these basic utilities and the people who keep them running. Unbeknownst to most, a labyrinth of underground tunnels shuttle steam, chilled water, electricity and compressed air from the Central Power Station to the entire campus. But besides providing these necessary utilities, the tunnels are also a source of campus mystery.
The veins: descending underground Inside the tunnels, criss-crossing pipes and cables make navigating the corridors an adventure. Tunnel workers are required to climb over yards of pipe and are exposed to intense heat. This underground network reaches nearly every building on campus “There are some parts of the tunnel [system] that are well ventilated and some that are not,� Tony
Hardenbrook, director of utilities and energy at UO, said. “There are parts of the tunnel system that could reach — especially in the summertime — 100 degrees, 120 degrees.� Hardhats, flashlights and radios are mandatory for work in the tunnels, as some stretches are dimly lit and have minimal height clearance. Signs posted on the tunnel corridors designating the entrance to various campus buildings make navigation easy. But being locked inside is an unnerving proposition. “We walk the tunnels once a week for visual inspection to make sure every bit of it’s been looked at,� Hardenbrook said. “But otherwise you could be in there for days and nobody would know.� The consequences of a burst pipe would be dire for a worker in close proximity, Hardenbrook explained. Rapid flooding, burns, and asphyxiation are all risks workers of the tunnels assume when they enter. “These are hazards people above ground don’t need to worry about, but we deal with them every day,� Hardenbrook said. Some parts of the tunnels date back to the 1940s.

As campus grew, the tunnel system expanded too, and is now about four miles in total length. “There are sections of the tunnels that are pristine,� Hardenbrook said of the more recent extensions to the network. “I’d sit down and eat in them if the rules allowed you to.� Divided into two sections, the “west� tunnel heads south from the power station across Franklin Boulevard, then branches to various west and central campus buildings like Carson Hall, Columbia Hall and the HEDCO Education Building. The “east� tunnel services the Millrace Studios, Matthew Knight Arena and most other east university buildings. The imminent Knight Campus will also be accessed via the east tunnel. The presence of a vast tunnel network has inspired myths and rumors among the campus community. Stories of ghosts and missing students, while unfounded, have captured the imagination of some — but not Hardenbrook. “I’ll be honest, I’m not privy to any supernatural type of things,� Hardenbrook said. “I swim in the world of reality and practicality.�
In the past, students and other urban explorers have even snuck into the tunnels, but since Hardenbrook took his position in 2014, he has made it a point to limit access to the tunnels, including barring photography of tunnel maps. “Probably about six months after I got here, about 40 of the tunnel doors were completely redone and new lock systems put on them,” Hardenbrook said. “There definitely was a security problem.” The tunnel system was built as a way to save on utility maintenance costs, he explained. It provides workers immediate access to the various utility pipes and cables should something go awry. For instance, in the summer of 2016, 19 buildings on campus lost power. Hardenbrook confirmed that a rat wandered into an electrical vault underneath Johnson Hall and crawled over an exposed circuit, causing a fault in the circuitry. “More modern equipment wouldn’t have this problem but we have a mixture of modern and older equipment,” Hardenbrook said. “Luckily we have since upgraded that particular vault.” Although the rat perished, the direct access to the electrical vault enabled workers to restore power fairly easily, according to Hardenbrook. The tunnel network again came in handy during last winter’s ice storm. While the rest of Eugene experienced power outages, campus kept chugging. “I live three minutes from this campus and I didn’t have power for four days,” Hardenbrook said.
The heart: Central Power Station The tunnels are just one aspect of the utilities and energy department, though. The
A three story spiral staircase, the entrance to the west tunnel, decends beneath the power station. (Ben Green)
Central Power Station is located on the north side of Franklin Blvd, across the street from Onyx Bridge. It produces the utilities that the tunnels distribute. And although the power station purchases electricity from the Eugene Water and Electric Board, it has the capacity to produce enough electricity to power campus by itself during an emergency said Kyle Wilson, lead cogeneration engineer at the power station. While the tunnels are confined spaces, the boiler room inside the power station is quite the opposite. Resembling a scene from “Titanic,” the boiler room is a massive warehouse containing UHaul-size boilers, a jet engine, generators, compressed air tanks and much more. “We have a lot more load, as we call it, or demand when school is in,” Wilson said. “We plan a lot of our operations around the school schedule so that we can take equipment down to do necessary repairs on it, so it doesn’t impact those users on campus.” The boiler room also has a wall-sized circuit board, with breaker switches for each machine needing electricity in the room. “They’re just like all the circuit breakers at your house but just much bigger and higher voltage,” Wilson said. The Central Power Station employs three main groups of people: maintenance, electricians and control room workers. Maintenance workers are tasked with the general cleanliness of the plant, electricians make sure the energy is getting from the power station to the university without hiccups. The control room staff monitor all the equipment in the boiler room and make general repairs in the tunnel system. “Our greatest concern is safety,” Wilson said. “We all want to go home at the end of the day. We want everyone on campus to be safe.”
Hardenbrook enlisted two student workers to help bolster the safety of the plant and tunnel system. While their day-to-day work can sometimes be menial, the bulk of their responsibility is the creation of training videos for various aspects of the plant. “I’m currently working on a lift training video,” Andres Harris, a student worker at the power station, said. “There are three different lifts around the plant, and my video explains how to operate them and what their purpose is.” Harris, a junior and Sean Ewing, a freshman, are also putting together how-to videos about water testing machines, small spill cleanup and parking lot safety. Past student workers have created videos too, such as the tunnel safety video, which all tunnel workers are required to watch before entering. “I didn’t even know the UO had a power plant,” Ewing said, recalling when he sent in his application for the job. “It’s not an opportunity I ever though I would have.” While neither student has their future set on working at the power plant, they both expressed appreciation for their work environment. “My boss told me: ‘This is how it was before. This is how it is now. Here are our plans for the future,’” Harris said. “It was really interesting to learn.” Kyle Wilson went from working at True Value Hardware to holding the lead cogeneration engineer position in the control room. He said he remembered feeling overwhelmed by all the machinery in the boiler room. But now, he embraces the multifaceted utility system. “That’s what I like about this job is the variety,” Wilson said. “It challenges you. I’m always learning something new just about every week.”

DOES LOCAL MEDIA REPRESENT REGULAR CITIZENS? BY MADDIE ADKINS
The day after Christmas, I turned on the local news for background noise — something to fill the quiet house while my parents were out grocery shopping. I wasn’t really listening until a particular breaking news update caught my attention: a mom and daughter were killed in Lake Oswego on Christmas day when their Nissan lost traction on the Highway 26 and collided into oncoming traffic. That was how they were identified: “mom and daughter.” It was the type of story I’d heard a hundred times before on the news — general, tragic and forgettable. Just as quickly as their story had entered my life, it was over, and the reporter had moved on to another story equally as shocking as this one. But I couldn’t forget what I’d heard. Who were these people? Where were they going and where were they coming from? How are their family, friends and acquaintances dealing with this loss? How old was the daughter? Was she still in school, still deciding what she wanted to do with her life, or was she older, with a career or a family of her own? What legacy did they want to leave? What were they passionate about? What gifts did they give to the world that will live on after their deaths? Tragedies happen every day, and we cannot mourn them all, but if the news is going to cover these stories, then they should be covered properly. The brief, clickbait-style stories that have become so ubiquitous in media are unjust misrepresentations of the people behind the headlines. If it was your wife and daughter who had died in that car accident, how would you want them to be remembered? Two years ago, then-22-year-old Aaron Larson was arrested for stealing a car and robbing a bank in Portland, Oregon. What audiences didn’t learn from coverage about the crime was that Larson was a talented singer and performer at Gresham High School, a dedicated member of the top choirs, a team captain of the football team and that he graduated on honor roll. If you knew these things about Larson, you might believe his justification that he committed the crime out of desperation (he needed the money to pay his rent); however, most PA G E 1 0

people, who had only the facts provided by the media, did not. I am not saying that Larson’s crimes were justified — they weren’t. However, the media portrayed Larson as a criminal before portraying him as a person, and our judgment is clouded by seeing Larson’s mugshot before even reading his name. As readers, we don’t learn the facts about the person — only the facts about the crime. By focusing on the crime, we are left with a story that, though true, is incomplete. And the consequences of that story can have lasting impacts. In five years, Larson will be released from jail and will have to look for a job. When his future employers Google his name, they will find countless articles about his crimes; however, the articles about his high school accomplishments will be impossible to find. In the coverage of the stories of Cody Duk-Woo Moore and Jacob “Jay” Timothy Richter-Shea, almost every local news outlet described the same story — that the two young men had committed several violent crimes before committing suicide. Somehow, no one had anything more to say about these young men’s lives, yet people who knew the boys said that they had “big hearts” and had taken a wrong path: A past girlfriend of Richter-Shea’s expressed her sadness that no coverage had detailed the difficult childhood he experienced, and she was distressed to see the anger and hatred coming from complete strangers in the online community. Scrolling through the Facebook comments section of any story, it is clear that readers are eager to express anger and hatred towards a “villain,” even when they don’t know him or her. One story shared by the Oregonian on Facebook, for example, featured a package thief caught on camera taking a fall, which generated responses such as, “Too bad she didn’t fall on her neck,” and “No broken bones? Not bad enough.” Many advocated for the paper to un-blur the thief’s face and reveal her identity. The theft was undoubtedly wrong, but the readers commenting these things on Facebook did not have the perspective of knowing who this woman was, or why she committed this crime, leaving them with an
incomplete story and an incomplete understanding. Why is it that so many stories in our media invoke misunderstanding of the true complexity of the situation, arousing anger, division and fear? It is because of the lack of depth in coverage of events like these. Just as quickly as these stories enter our lives, they are over, and the reporter moves on to another equally shocking story, giving audiences no tools to fully understand the situation or even prevent it in the future. What happens when media misrepresent these people? What happens to the families and friends who will continue living this story long after the news has moved on, who will be suffering from the backlash, and who will carry the injustice of that half-truth? Stories that give multiple perspectives only provide a deeper understanding of a situation — and these types of stories are necessary to enlighten audiences as to how similar situations can be prevented. Half-stories only inject fear into their audiences. The truth is that the world is not such a scary place, but media like to portray it as such. It gives us things to be afraid of all over the world, heartless villains to avoid and hopeless victims we pray that we are never so unfortunate to become. In response, we feel hatred toward people we don’t truly know. You may argue that if someone commits a crime, they do not deserve to have their story told — but the result of a half-story simply creates more fear and hatred in the world by not providing an understanding or remedy. The American Press Institute states that “the foremost value of news is as a utility to empower the informed.” However, if reporters do not write their stories in ways that inspire, engage and activate the compassion and intelligence of their readers, they cannot expect to empower or truly inform their readers. We must examine the purpose of media, because if our stories are not adding value, they are simply adding noise. If our purpose is to inform, educate, inspire and awaken audiences, then we must become storytellers, not just reporters.

HOW TO CHOOSE A MINOR WITHOUT WASTING GEN ED CREDITS BY TED YANEZ Previously, I called for the University of Oregon to cut general education requirements. Of course, it’s not so simple; we are legally required to have these general education credits in order for the university to remain accredited. This requirement may encourage some students to take the classes that allow them to earn an ‘A’ easier than others, but this doesn’t need to be the case. Here’s how you can take advantage of the university’s system. Why a Minor Might Be Useful There are several reasons why one would want to minor in another subject. One great reason to take on a minor is to expand a skill set or specialize within an area of your major. An example of this would be an accounting or finance major minoring in economics. Another example would be a journalism major minoring in political science if they hope to write about political events after graduation. Perhaps you have skills in a second language and would love to highlight such a skill — a minor is great for that. Also, a minor can give you a competitive edge against your classmates who think that a company would rather value a higher GPA with fewer skills. For some who are torn between a subject they love and a subject they understand well, like
music and finance, you could major in finance and minor in music. While they seem totally unrelated, every corporation in the music industry needs financial analysts. We don’t need to sacrifice our desires in the name of pragmatism. The university has plenty of minors to choose from. See if there’s anything that interests you enough to pursue a minor in. How to Effectively Choose a Minor It’s probably going to be easier for students to choose a minor if they’re not undecided about their major. Even those of us who have selected a major or two might have a hard time deciding on what to minor in. Simply put, you should ask yourself, “What do I want to do after graduation?� I understand that this sounds daunting, especially if you’re a freshman. But even if you have several career paths you can choose from based on your major, a minor can help you with whichever of these paths interest you. If you’re undecided in your major, perhaps you would benefit from starting with minors and eventually choose one to major in. Perhaps it would be helpful to look at job postings for such career paths. Believe it or not, you could pick a minor based around
qualifications that may show up on the job posting and are not taught within your major department. A classic example of this would be someone majoring in business administration with a concentration in finance — aka a major in finance — that wants to work as an analyst at a company. These days, it takes an understanding of databases and other programming languages to land a job at companies like Amazon or Microsoft. This is due to the nature of being tech companies, but that doesn’t need to be a barrier for you. You can minor in computer information technology (CIT), which specifically entails programming and databases. Start Early as Possible Those of you who will benefit the most from reading (and applying) this will be freshmen and sophomores that aren’t undecided. The sooner you check out your options, the sooner you can take advantage of the double counting credits that took me way too long to figure out myself. Had I known what major and minor I wanted from the start, I would have saved a lot of time, effort and money from the university’s generosity. If you plan well enough, you might even be able to get away with graduating in less time.

HOW THE WOMEN’S MARCH BY ELAINA COLUSSI The second annual Women’s March took place around the country on Jan. 20; over 300,000 people marched in Chicago alone. The first Women’s March came under fire for excluding women of color and other marginalized groups due to a lack of focus on issues affecting women of color. Although organizers said they would try to make the 2018 march more inclusive, they fell short. Some women of color boycotted the march again this year, which led white feminists to blame them for “dividing� the Women’s March. The first Women’s March on Washington was originally called the Million Woman March, but the name was quickly changed after the head organizers were made aware that there was a protest in 1997 called the Million Woman March. That march centered around black women’s rights to self-determination and raising awareness of the issues facing black women. The 2017 march was then renamed the Women’s March on Washington. The national Women’s March organizers also brought in several non-white, veteran activists to help increase intersectionality in the event and released a statement voicing support for expanding intersectionality within the march
as a whole. Predictably, some white women were not pleased. One woman commented, “Every woman in our culture is a second class citizen period, whatever your race. You’re no better than Trump voters with that statement.â€? The inability of white women to recognize their privilege over women of color poses a huge problem to the Women’s March, since its mission statement aims to “harness the political power of diverse women and their communities to create transformative social change.â€? Women of color continue to voice the exclusion they feel. Columnist Jamilah Lemieux said, “I don’t know that I serve my own mental health needs by putting my body on the line to feign solidarity with women who by and large didn’t have my back prior to November.â€? The Black Lives Matter group in Cincinnati put out a statement titled “The Women’s March is Not Feminism: Why BLMC will not go to the 2018 Cincinnati Women’s March.â€? It reads, “Black Lives Matter: Cincinnati would like to be part of a march for women’s liberation, but we know the 2018 Cincinnati Women’s March is not it. ‌ Once the current theme was proposed, our organization, as well as several other local leaders who are women of color raised our

concerns. ‌ with organizers of the Cincinnati Women’s March. Our concerns were pushed aside. Our only request was to change the theme from ‘Vote’ to ‘Voice.’â€? White feminists blatantly disregarding women of color is not a new thing. Women’s suffrage icon Susan B. Anthony said, “The old anti-slavery school says women must stand back and wait until the negroes shall be recognized. But we say, if you will not give the whole loaf of suffrage to the entire people, give it to the most intelligent first.â€? In the words of Jazmine Walker, a woman who specializes in reproductive justice and solidarity economy movements, “The war on women does not resonate with communities of color because we’ve never stopped being under attack.â€? Fiftythree percent of white women voted for Trump; 95 percent of black women voted for Clinton. For women of color to be excluded from one of the biggest protests in American history by white women, the majority of whom voted for Trump, is reprehensible. Coalitions have to be formed to fight, and they won’t be if women of color are ignored. Remember: it isn’t feminism if it isn’t intersectional.

SPORTS STRONG FIRST HALF SAVES OREGON FROM COLLAPSE AS DUCKS BEAT BEAVERS 66-57 Oregon Ducks guard Elijah Brown (5) attempts to shoot the ball under pressure. (Devin Roux)
BY COLE KUNDICH • TWITTER @CKUNDICH
BY SHAWN MEDOW • TWITTER @SHAWNMEDOW Payton Pritchard drove to the basket between three Oregon State players, and while tossing up a layup that kissed off the glass and went in, he was fouled. Before heading to the free throw line, he let out a yell. Excitement. Joy. Relief. After Oregon went on a 27-4 run in the first half, the Ducks’ 41-25 halftime lead diminished in the second half, as Oregon went 6-of24 from the field. But the Ducks (14-7, 4-4) hung on to win the 350th edition of the men’s basketball Civil War 66-57. “I complimented them on shot selection [at halftime], then to start the second half we take three really quick, bad 3s and never really got that same rhythm offensively that we got in the first half,” head coach Dana Altman said. The first half featured a nearly perfect performance from Elijah Brown, who was 4-of-4 shooting and 3-of-3 from 3-point range. However, he finished the game 4-of-10 while making 9-of-9 free throws to total 20 points on the night. “When Elijah hits his shots, I think that’s when we’re at our best,” forward Paul White said. “A lot of people are able to make plays for each other and the floor can open up more, so he really helped us today.” From 6-of-10 shooting, White tied his career-high 17 points while he turned the ball over on three occasions. “I thought he did a good job, especially in the first half, of taking the ball to the basket,” Altman said. “If it wouldn’t have been for those turnovers, he really had
LAURENT AND CLISSOLD ON TRACK TO CHALLENGE PROGRAM RECORD FOR DOUBLES WINS
a good ballgame.” Elijah Brown was a big part of the Ducks’ first-half run, but some explosive plays from his teammates kept Oregon’s momentum going. Victor Bailey drove to the baseline, stopped and dished it inside the key to Kenny Wooten, who collected the pass, took a step forward and leaped for a onehanded dunk with his right hand to give the Ducks a 23-11 lead. Pritchard only shot the ball once in the first half. Instead of going for the baskets himself, he was finding his teammates, aiding the Ducks’ 65.2 percent shooting in the first half. “I was just getting teammates the ball, getting people going,” Pritchard said. “I just let the game come to me. I’m not going to force anything, but if I see a lane, I’m gonna take it. Guys are hitting shots, and we got up by 16, so I didn’t really see a need for me to get super aggressive and take a shot that wasn’t there.” The win was the first time the Ducks kept a team under 60 points since Oregon’s 114-56 win over Alabama State in November. Oregon forced 12 total turnovers from Oregon State, nine of which came in the first half. “Throughout all week of practice, we were just really talking about taking away their easy baskets, contesting shots, running them off the three,” White said. “Once we were able to do that, they kind of gave us some gift baskets.” The Ducks’ shift their focus to the Bay Area as Oregon gears up for matchups at California and Stanford on Feb. 1 and Feb. 3, respectively.
Over the course of the 2017 spring season, the Ducks rolled out eight different combinations of players in doubles action. Head coach Nils Schyllander shuffled different players in, out and around the lineup. But there was one pair that Schyllander always sent out together: Thomas Laurent and Cormac Clissold. That consistency has carried into the team’s 2018 campaign. Now at the start of their third season teaming up in doubles, the duo of Laurent and Clissold appear on track to challenge the program record of 57 wins by a doubles pair. “We’ve come up with the chance to just stay together for a long time,” said Laurent. “It’s just a huge advantage. … we just know. We’ve played every match on this court. We always do the same thing.” Clissold, now a senior, began his career at Oregon in the spring of 2015. In his freshman season, Clissold went 9-6 in doubles. The following year, Laurent arrived and paired with Clissold to begin their historic career. Following four straight doubles losses in the early part of the 2016 season, Clissold was paired up with Laurent permanently. The rest is history. The pair ripped off 15 consecutive wins to conclude the 2016 season — a program record. The impressive run put together by the underclassmen turned out to be a sign of good things to come. Facing stiffer competition then they had before, Laurent and Clissold continued their dominance in 2017. The pair went 24-6 last season, this time playing in the
No. 1 and No. 2 spots, shooting their doubles ranking to No. 17 in the nation. Many schools tend to pair their top two singles players together in doubles. While that may work for some schools, the Ducks don’t follow that standard. While Laurent is the clear No. 1 option in singles, Clissold mostly finds himself competing in the No. 4 and No. 5 spots in singles. As they have shown, though, it’s their comfort level in playing with one another that trumps all else. “We have this immediate connection when we just relax and play with each other,” Clissold said. The connection was quite evident for the duo, whose 24 wins were tied for the second-most in a single season in program history, trailing only the 29 wins that Robin Cambier and Jeff Mullen put together in 2012. It’s Cambier and Mullen, too, who hold the program record for most doubles wins with 57. That might not be the case for much longer, though. Playing in their third and final season together, Laurent and Clissold currently have 48 wins, well within striking distance of the record set by Cambier and Mullen from 2011-2013. “Me and Thomas have a pretty good doubles record going, but it’s all about the team this year,” Clissold said. Laurent and Clissold are focused on the team. If and when they set the program record for doubles wins, they’ll own an individual record that should not go under-appreciated

KLCC BREWFEST 17 YEARS STRONG For the past 17 years, Eugene radio station KLCC has held their annual Brewfest fundraiser. The event is an opportunity for enthusiasts of all things hoppy to enjoy the creations of a plethora of Oregon breweries. Local breweries and homebrew enthusiasts get their chance to shine, and the community gets a chance to support the institution of public radio while enjoying quality brews. Words By Delaney Rea
Initially, Brewfest started small. The first edition of the event included just 20 Lane County breweries. Though that may sound like no small number, Brewfest 2018 will play host to over 80 local breweries, according to KLCC Marketing Director and Brewfest organizer Gayle Chisholm. “We had no idea back then that it was going to become so big,” Chisholm said. With around 7000 total attendees and counting each year, the event continues to grow in popularity.
‘We like to say that we’re keeping the fun in fundraising and the pub in public radio.” -Gayle Chisholm
The atmosphere at Brewfest is first and foremost one of high spirits. ‘We like to say that we’re keeping the fun in fundraising and the pub in public radio,” Chisholm said. With many of the breweries going all out to offer interactive experiences, visitors can expect far more from Brewfest than merely a series of booths with plastic cups of ale. From fully-operational miniature pubs to arcade games and more, the breweries cultivate a fun environment for the event. Because the event is put on by KLCC, a radio station, music also plays a large role in the proceedings — including both live music and an extensive music sale. On Friday, Eugene funk outfit Soul Vibrator will take the stage from 8 to 11 p.m., and turntable specialist DJ Connah Jay will
perform Friday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 7 to 11 p.m. The music sale is comprised entirely of donated records and CDs, a perfect opportunity to shed any excess physical music copies you may have for a good cause. KLCC is accepting music donations at 136 W 8th Ave from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every weekday until the weekend of Brewfest. Brewfest awards are split into three categories: the People’s Choice, the Sponsor’s Choice and Homebrew Competition. Winners in each category are announced on Saturday. Though their beers are not available for sampling at the festival, the homebrewer’s competition is one of Brewfest’s major draws. The wide swath of home brewed beers are judged ahead of time by a certified panel of judges and awards are given to home brews in a variety of categories, with the top prize being the Best of Show medal.
Sponsorship is a large part of what makes the event possible. This year’s key sponsor is Oregon convenience store Dari Mart, so you can expect to see their logo on all Brewfest cups and memorabilia. As the primary sponsor, the convenience store will decide the winner of the Sponsor’s Choice award. Following the event, Dari Mart will offer the Sponsor’s Choice winner at all store locations until the supply runs out. In addition to Dari Mart, 2018 Brewfest sponsors include Café Yumm, Sundance Natural Foods and Ninkasi Brewing Company. The bottom line: if you support public radio, local breweries or just having a good time, KLCC Brewfest is a can’t-miss event. As Chisholm says, “You’re helping KLCC with every beer you sip.”
Another primary Brewfest tradition is the collaboration brew. Part of the festival’s proceedings from the beginning, the collaboration brew is a themed drink decided upon ahead of time by a selection of local brewers. From there, the breweries collaborate in pairs to produce a spread of creative specialty brews made especially for Brewfest. The collaboration brew theme of Brewfest 2018 will be Tour of the World. A special “Passport” ticket can be purchased at the Brewfest ticket booth to sample all 8 collaboration brews. This year, attendees can sample collaboration brews such as Agrarian Ales and Sam Bond’s Mexican Lager or Ninkasi and Plank Town’s Traditional English IPA.
KLCC 2018 Brewfest will be held on Friday, Feb. 9 from 5 to 11 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 10 from 1 to 11 p.m. Advance tickets are available at KLCC.org for $15 per day or $22 for the weekend. The Lane Events Center will host the event at 796 W 13th Ave. in Eugene. The event is 21 and over only. *A Business advertisement from Emerald Media Group PA G E 1 4

⚡ SPORTS UO RUNNING CLUB MEMBER SETS WORLD RECORD IN HALF MARATHON — IN A CARROT COSTUME BY AUGUST HOWELL • TWITTER @HOWELL_AUGUST Jack Rising crossed the finish line at the Eugene Holiday Half Marathon last month in one hour and 16 minutes — an average of 5:49 per mile, not only setting a new personal best for himself, but also a new world record. Except he was wearing a storebought carrot costume. Rising is in the process of submitting his attempt to the Guinness World Records archive. Rising, a 22-year-old member of the UO Running Club and a graduate of the University of Oregon as of last spring, ran in his carrot outfit as part of his fundraiser for Type 1 diabetes treatments. Rising created a fundraiser page through Facebook, called “Racing for a Cure (In a Carrot Costume).” He got the idea of running a half marathon in a vegetable outfit when he and his brother discovered the record, which was set at 1:22:47 by David Craddock. Craddock wore a pea costume in the St. Albans Half Marathon in the United Kingdom in June last year. Rising ran into some difficulties prior to race day. He had to have extra orange felt fabric past his waist, which did not help for ventilation. “In every aspect of life, diabetes presents me (and others) with an array of challenges that most people don’t see or know about,” Rising posted on the page. “Whether I’m sitting down for an exam or toeing the line at a race, diabetes adds an invisible layer of worry, frustration and stress.” The money he raised will go directly to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). When he was just 21 months old, Rising was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, as it is commonly referred to. “They give out a lot of funding for diabetes research and cure-based
stuff, like insulin pumps,” Rising said. “I just tried to raise money for them, so they can give money to independent researchers.” With over $3,200 earned through more than 70 people, Rising was already happy. But then, after a surprise $3,500 donation from his godfather, Rising was thrilled. By the end of the donation period, the JDRF would receive $6,800 of total donations. According to the JDRF’s website, “T1D develops when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, called beta cells.” It also states that 1.25 million Americans are currently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and 40,000 more are diagnosed each year. The autoimmune disease makes it much harder for the human body to extract energy from food. While insulin pumps can keep the bloodsugar level high, they are not a longterm solution. The money Rising raised will go towards cure research. His girlfriend, Jade Amaris Swanson, biked behind him for all 13.1 miles and filmed the race because Guinness needed absolute proof that Rising’s record-breaking attempt was legitimate. “I don’t think I’ve ever ridden a bike that far,” Swanson said. “That was not a leisurely bike ride.” Other people in the race not wearing vegetable costumes were friendly and supportive whenever they saw the carrot, Swanson said. It will be another month before Rising gets the official word from Guinness World Records, but this donation was part of something much greater than a fast time.
IONESCU HAS TRIPLE-DOUBLE
IN OREGON’S 84-68
WIN OVER UTAH UTES BY ZAK LASTER • TWITTER @ZLAST3445

Sabrina Ionescu picked up her ninth career triple-double as the Oregon women’s basketball team completed the road sweep of the mountain schools after its 84-68 win over the Utah Utes on Sunday. The Ducks improve to 20-4 and 9-1 in the Pac-12. Ionescu finished the game with 19 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, but it was Maite Cazorla who led the way with 21 points, knocking down all five of her 3-point attempts in the win. Following the Colorado game, Kelly Graves said on the postgame radio show that Cazorla would miss time with an injury; however, according to the Pac-12 Networks broadcast, X-rays completed on her hand showed that she could play. With three minutes, 30 seconds left in the third quarter, Mallory McGwire and Ruthy Hebard were on the bench with four fouls, but a Cazorla 3-pointer gave Oregon a doubledigit lead. Hebard sat for over half of the fourth quarter, while McGwire provided some foul-
free minutes and the Ducks maintained a double-digit lead throughout the fourth quarter. After starting slow against Colorado, the Ducks raced out to a 14-point lead over the Utes and kept Utah from hitting their first field goal attempt until there was 4:36 left in the first quarter. However, after trailing 23-4, the Utah Utes went on a 13-4 run to get back into the game and end the quarter. Utah converted a 3-point play to cut Oregon’s lead down to three points but missed a 3-point attempt that would have tied the game. Instead, Ionescu hit a 3-point and Satou Sabally followed with a layup to push the Oregon lead back to eight points and Utah went cold again. The Ducks kept the Utes from converting a field goal attempt in the final 6:05 of the first half and took a 43-32 lead into halftime. The Ducks return home to Matthew Knight Arena to play the California Golden Bears on Friday at 8 p.m.

The Veterans Memorial Coliseum arena in Portland hosted two of the most high-profile rappers in the industry Saturday night. Tyler, The Creator and Vince Staples both dropped two of the most polarizing albums of 2017. Tyler’s glittering “Flower Boy� was ranked the eighth best album of the year by Pitchfork, while Staples’ house-influenced record, “Big Fish Theory,� came in at seven on the list. This isn’t their first time teaming up for shows; the powerful duo also toured together back in 2015. But their status has never been higher than it is now, and the excitement at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum showed it. Tyler and Staples may be at a similar echelon, the forefront of their genre, but their style and execution has very little in common. Staples performed first, alone, dressed in all black on a wide stage. He was backed by a giant screen rendering him nothing more than a silhouette, mixing intensity and casualty in his movements. The spectacle was not being made for him, but for the immense power of his music, as the electronically-saturated pounds and kicks of “Big Fish Theory� spoke well on their own. Staples made the occasional callback to his 2015 album, “Summertime ‘06,� but his latest work was clearly the priority. The performance itself acted as a nice microcosm for his career as a whole. The music came first, and his rhythmically-simple rapping style was as straightforward as his strictly black and white screen displays. The distinction between the two acts was made only a few minutes after Vince finished up. A large purple curtain dropped to cover the performing end of the arena. With the curtain being showered by red overhead lights, the first glimpses of color were shown,
foreshadowing Tyler’s performance. After a 20-minute intermission, the curtain made a long descent to the ground to show Tyler, his back turned to the crowd, standing on the trunk of a fallen tree, maybe 15 ft. above the stage. While Vince went simple, Tyler indulged, building a grand stage with colors abound, including two giant trees on the either side of the stage and a fallen one in the middle which functioned as a nice staircase for the offbeat Odd Future founder to enjoy. Tyler was his usual self — the goofy rapper whose self-critical and emotional lyrics attract endearment and even a little sympathy. The beautiful sounds of “Flower Boy� translated just as well as it did when he stopped by Eugene back in October. This time, in between songs he briefly chatted about getting used to playing in similar arenas to the Coliseum, his Grammy hopes and teasing Jasper, long-time Odd Future member, about the broken leg he’s recovering from. The setlist, like Staples’, was varied. After knocking out a few “Flower Boy� essentials, such as “Boredom� and “911 / Mr. Lonely,� Tyler tested the crowd’s knowledge with throwbacks to previous songs, with “48,� “She� and “Yonkers� among them. The sheer grandiosity of the stage was a spectacle in itself, again being a great glimpse of Tyler’s musical identity. Audience members were on their feet the entirety of the show, and both artists showed their love to Portland throughout their sets. Tyler mentioned near the end of the show, “This is one of my favorite cities, y’all got the trees and painted houses. It rains a lot, but it’s pretty as fuck.� It was one of the best hip-hop shows Portland will have for the year, and with the Grammys on Sunday, Tyler will be looking to continue his tour with his first Grammy win under his belt — he’s up for Rap Album of the Year.

‘PLANET EARTH II’ ‘CITIES’ EPISODE SHOWS HUMAN IMPACT THE WAY NATURE DOCUMENTARIES NEVER HAVE (Courtesy of BBC Earth)
BY MAX EGENER The sky is clear, and an alpha male langur monkey sits relaxed in the shade on a beige, residential rooftop in Jodhpur, India among several female langurs. But the day doesn’t remain peaceful for this particular alpha langur, as a gang of hostile male langurs approaches. The alpha langur leaps into action to defend his territory. The langurs launch themselves across gaps between buildings several meters wide. They weave into narrow crevasses, propel past canopies of electric wires and navigate with gravity-defying maneuvers through the urban landscape. The alpha successfully chases away the other males but returns home to the females with a bloody gash across his right leg. These langurs thrive in the temple gardens of Jodhpur because the people associate them with the Hindu god Hanuman. Their food is literally handed to them by the basketful. This scene is the first of many like it in the episode “Cities� of the sequel BBC nature documentary series, “Planet Earth II,� that was released in 2016. The series has recently been made available on Netflix in the U.S. The final episode depicts the most notable difference from the original 2006 series. It’s an episode devoted entirely to showing how
animals live in human-dominated areas. The new series is arranged the same way as the first. Fifty-minute individual episodes focus primarily on animal life in specific ecosystems: islands, mountains, jungles, deserts, grasslands and cities. “Cities� is the sixth and final episode, as if to remind viewers that all the natural wonders they just saw shot in spectacular Ultra HD footage during the five previous episodes are under the expanding threats of human development and climate change. “In this decade, the urban environment is expected to grow by 30 percent,� said legendary nature documentary filmmaker David Attenborough in the episode’s opening seconds. “It may appear hostile to animal life, but for the bold, this is a world of surprising opportunity.� Nature documentaries are known for inaccurately displaying plants and animals as separate from human life. The films often suggest that ecosystems are untouched, pristine, and worst of all, undisturbed. “Planet Earth II� tries to correct that false narrative. Humans now live in what some scientists call the “Anthropocene,� an entire geologic epoch characterized by human influence in every square centimeter of the globe.
In a deviation from typical nature documentaries, narration scattered throughout “Planet Earth II� features pointed commentary about how climate changes are affecting ecosystems like never before. “Changes in the climate mean temperatures here are rising more than the global average and, as deserts heat up, they are also expanding,� Attenborough said in the “Deserts� episode. “Every year, a further 50,000 square miles of grass and farmland are turning into barren stretches of dust and rock.� The “Cities� episode features a select few species that benefit from opportunities such as food that humans create in urban environments. If there weren’t periodic allusions to the pervasiveness of human impact on the natural world throughout the series, it would be entirely misguided to have the celebratory tone that occurs at times in the “Cities� episode. The series demonstrates that nature documentaries are becoming more based on the reality. Humans have never harmed plants and animals more, but greater scientific understanding of those organisms can make people better equipped to improve those unending relationships.
