13TH AVENUE

REDESIGN IN THE WORKS

BY FRANKLIN LEWIS • TWITTER @FLEWIS_1

irteenth avenue between classes is as congested for pedestrians as I-5 is for cars after a Duck home game. Pedestrians have to weave through bicycles, random facility vehicles and delivery trucks humming down the street in order to survive. Personal vehicles are not allowed from Kincaid Street to University Street, but anyone can drive past Matthew Knight Arena to the Erb Memorial Union, which can confuse drivers and pedestrians alike.

But a new campus planning project has the potential to alleviate the chaos that is 13th Avenue. e university hired Walker Macy Architects and Gehl Architects to create a conceptual redesign of the street based on feedback from the UO community. Aaron Olsen, landscape planning associate for UO Campus Planning, said the designs will be finalized in late January, 2019. If funding is secured for the project, these conceptual plans could become reality.

“One of the things that this project wants to do is look at the entire [corridor] and really create a vision for the whole [corridor] so it can feel more unified,” Olsen said. “And so some of the positive things that are happening on the western part of the street can translate through campus as a whole.” e “positive things” Olsen references are primarily restrictions in place to limit vehicle access on 13th Avenue from the EMU to Condon Hall. As of today, only emergency vehicles and golf carts are allowed to use the western corridor of the street. East of 13th Avenue feels more like a typical city street: Personal vehicles are allowed, stop signs are present and yellow lines are painted in the concrete.

Olsen said this project will attempt to create cohesion not only between the east and west sides of 13th Avenue but also cohesion between 13th Avenue and the rest of campus. In the past, Olsen said, projects would be built along the street without much thought as to how they contributed to the avenue and to the campus as a whole. “[A project] would inform and work with all the things that are happening but there wasn’t really a driving vision that it

could tie into,” Olsen said.

In order to create this vision, campus planning, in conjunction with the hired architectural firms, will conduct various studies in order understand how each part of the street is currently used. According to Olsen, the first of such surveys will take place on Oct. 18.

Students standing on 13th Avenue with clipboards will observe how various passersby are using the 13th Avenue corridor. An identical survey will be conducted Oct. 20 as well. e data collected from the study will be used

by Gehl to compare how people use 13th Avenue to other similar spaces across the world. Olsen said the architects will then use the findings to create the conceptual designs for the street. “ e intent would be in early January to have the design team bring three concepts to get feedback from the students,” Olsen said. “ ere will be an open house in conjunction with that as well.” Olsen added that Gehl will present its findings in a public lecture.

Another goal of this project is to redesign 13th Avenue in a way that better accommodates large, one-off events like the street fair or the graduation procession.

“In order for the project to be successful, it needs to accommodate these events,” Olsen said. “So at the end of the day if we were to come up with a plan that doesn’t accommodate these, then I would think that’s not successful.”

Olsen emphasized that these plans are purely conceptual — to put any part of these designs into action, campus planning would first need to find funding. en, another round of public engagement would take place before construction would comense. However, as a part of the conceptual plans, each aspect of the redesign will include a cost estimate so they know how much each portion of the project would cost, should they get the green light. “ e end result of this is not something that is necessarily going to be built next year or any time we know of,” Olsen said. “It’s a conceptual design to inform future decision making.”

Students interested in participating in the survey mentioned in the article should contact Aaron Olsen via email at aaolsen@uoregon.edu.

LIFE-SAVING SUPPORT AT THE COLLEGIATE RECOVERY CENTER

BY OLIVIA SANCHEZ • TWITTER @OLIVIARSANCHEZ Derek Myers was just a rebellious kid when he started sniffing glue. He was a self-proclaimed invincible middle schooler when he began excusing himself from class to get high off rubber cement in the bathroom. Fresh out of high school, he joined the Navy and learned how to drink. And he was just a 21-year-old partier when he tried meth for the first time in 1993.

Derek is one of the roughly 21.5 million Americans who suffer from substance use disorder, according to a survey done by the American Addiction Center in 2014.

Now 45 and almost six years clean, Derek is a senior business student at the University of Oregon and a three-year member of UO’s Collegiate Recovery Program. Founded in 2012, the CRC is a program designed to support students in recovery with counseling, 12-step meetings and group service projects, according to program director Toni Forbes. e CRC was among the reasons UO was awarded one of seven national Healthy Campus Awards, for prioritizing student mental health, by Active Minds in May 2018.

For Derek, the CRC is one of the reasons he says he is still clean today.

“Especially my first year, [the CRC] was just key for me,” Derek says. “As soon as I walked into the CRC for the first time, it was just like whoosh, all the doubt washed away and I could relax. I still feel that way — like I’ve found my place at UO.” A recent study about college recovery programs published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine says that peer support is critical in any addiction recovery process. is is especially true on college campuses.

“I love recovery. If I would have known that life could be this good, I would have done it a long time ago,” Derek says. “We’re the type of people who are annoyingly happy, and the most grateful.”

Derek says the CRC community is paramount for him.

“You can’t think your way out of addiction,” Derek

explains. “You’ve gotta surrender and let other people help you.”

Derek’s road to the CRC, and to recovery, was long and winding — he logged his first two stays in rehab before he was 16.

“I was hellbent on breaking the rules,” he says. inking back, he says he doesn’t think anyone could have stopped him. He thought it was fun. But that changed quickly. After a quick stint in the Navy, where his drinking escalated, he started gambling, too.

“Every day I wanted to not do it,” he says. “And I would tell myself I wasn’t gonna do it. And I thought if I loved my family enough, I wouldn’t do it. And then I would find myself doing it.”

He was haunted by guilt and shame — the nagging monsters of addiction — and often found himself asking, “What is wrong with me?”

His marriage of 10 years fell apart and he lost touch with his children. He says the pain and damage he caused were the worst consequences of his addiction.

At the height of his gambling problem, Derek was working with his brother, Aaron, in construction, where they met another man who turned out to be a meth addict. Derek and Aaron started using meth regularly alongside him in late 2007.

“I guess I thought of meth as a cure for gambling,” he says.

Aaron, who is four years younger than Derek, told the Emerald they eventually found themselves living in his foreclosed home without any utilities. He remembers them sharing the last can of lima beans.

“It was a pretty ugly life,” Aaron says. “ e only way we got anything was we’d go out and steal. So we were living real criminal scumbag lives.”

Derek says the two were often strung out for days at a time.

“I was runnin’ and gunnin’,” Derek says. “I wasn’t really thinking about getting clean.” e vicious cycle of stealing and using drugs quickly got them tied up with law enforcement in the

Portland area. Both served several short jail sentences.

In 2012, Aaron was required by his probation officer to seek treatment for his addiction. Derek says he tagged along to a few meetings.

Derek didn’t stop using right away. Quitting wasn’t easy for Aaron — who quickly relapsed — and it wasn’t going to be easy for Derek either. en Derek’s probation officer exercised a different disciplinary action.

He was jolted when he received a six-month sentence. “I really, really didn’t want to go to prison,” Derek says, thinking back to the way his mindset changed in December of 2012.

While he was incarcerated, he read about 12-step programs, and he says he started to have hope that he could beat his addiction.

Aaron picked Derek up from jail when his six months were up and took him straight to a 12-step meeting. Despite Aaron’s own recent relapse, he wanted to support his brother’s recovery.

Derek says as long as he wants to stay clean, he would continue to go to meetings twice a week.

Despite periods of homelessness, Derek didn’t go back to working construction — a decision he made for the sake of his recovery. Instead, he enrolled in Central Oregon Community College and applied to live in a sober-living facility.

“I didn’t want my old life back,” Derek says with resolve. “I wasn’t trying to get back to what I’d had. I wanted a new life better than the one I’d had.” e supportive communities he’s found have made all the difference. roughout Derek’s recovery, he’s heard the phrase, “there’s nothing more powerful than an addict helping another addict,” a million times. But it’s true, he says, and that’s why the CRC has been such a powerful resource for him. e CRC is located on the third floor of the EMU, and more information can be found at its website.

HOW LOCAL POLICE TEST FOR NON-ALCOHOL DUIIS

BY BRAD MOORE • TWITTER @BRADFORDM128

One evening in late September, a man driving near Junction City, Oregon, was pulled over by a state trooper for committing a traffic violation and shortly thereafter was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants. He was then taken about 15 miles south to the Lane County Corrections Division, where he would await the arrival of officer Adam Lillengreen, a certified drug recognition expert with the University of Oregon Police Department.

Because breathalyzers can only detect the presence of alcohol, police departments nationwide rely on these experts to discern what other drugs might be impairing someone suspected of a DUII. “When a person is arrested for DUII in nonalcohol or low-alcohol cases, a DRE is called in to conduct a drug influence evaluation,” said Travis Cooper, a DRE with the Eugene Police Department. “ is is a 12-step process which includes more field sobriety tests, an interview, a taking of vital signs, pupil measurements and reaction, among other things.”

In order to get his certification as a DRE, Lillengreen had to complete over 100 hours of training and then pass an eight-hour final examination. He is one of only 18 in Lane County, which has a far greater demand for drug evaluations than these officers can keep up with.

“Statewide, and specific to Lane County, we do have difficulty keeping up with the requests,” said Evan Sether, the Oregon DRE state coordinator.

“Between normal calls for service, time off, personal days off, etc., there are just not enough DREs to handle every request that comes in across the state.”

Although Lillengreen is a UOPD officer, he estimates that about 85 percent of his drug evaluations are performed on people other than UO students.

Chris said after a few moments of calculation.

Lillengreen then performed a series of coordination tests, beginning with tossing a small box back and forth with Chris, followed by using a flashlight pen to track abnormalities in his eye movements.

Up next was the Modified Romberg Balance test, in which Chris stood heel to heel, arms at his side, head tilted back and eyes closed. “After 30 seconds has passed, lower your head and open your eyes,” said Lillengreen.

Chris was able to maintain his balance, but his eyes were rapidly fluttering, and he opened them after only 19 seconds.

Chris’s performance on the remaining coordination tests didn’t appear to concern Lillengreen, but a high blood pressure reading of 150 over 108 got the officer’s attention. When asked questions about his blood pressure, Chris provided a winding explanation that raised Lillengreen’s suspicions.

“I just want to reiterate – don’t lie to me,” said the officer. e pupilometer test was also problematic for Chris. Lillengreen taped a glow in the dark star to the wall before closing the door and flipping the light switch off. After waiting two minutes for his eyes to adjust to the dark, Chris was then told to stare at the star while Lillengreen shined a small flashlight in his eyes and measured his pupil size, which contracted only slightly in response to the light.

Lillengreen concluded his examination by asking

The Evaluation

When Lillengreen arrived at the Lane County Corrections Division, he first met with the arresting officer, Heather West with Oregon State Police, who explained that she arrested the suspect because of his sweating, fidgeting, stiff posture, sunken eyes and for being “overly talkative but kind of slow processing things.” Lillengreen then entered the room where the suspect, a man named Chris, was waiting for the drug evaluation.

Lillengreen began by introducing himself and explaining what he would be doing during the evaluation. He also offered Chris some advice. “ e best advice I can give you is to tell the truth always,” Lillengreen told Chris prior to asking about his background, as well as asking some questions to test his cognition.

While Lillengreen was checking the man’s pulse, Chris was able to accurately recall the date, the time and the product of 36 times 2. “ at would be 72,”

questions about Chris’s drug consumption. Chris denied having ever been a drug user and insisted that he was completely sober, but Lillengreen had a different assessment.

Based on Chris’s high blood pressure, rigid posture, rapid eye fluctuations and “way above average” pupil dilation, Lillengreen said that he was making the “call” that Chris was under the influence of a central nervous system stimulant, which can include drugs like cocaine and methamphetamines.

“I’m not on anything,” said Chris. “I want to do a blood and urine test. I want to prove I’m not on anything.”

But according to Lillengreen, Oregon State Police doesn’t take blood samples for suspected DUIIs, and it will take a minimum of six months for the urine sample to be analyzed.

Lillengreen also said he takes into account the “totality of the situation” when writing his report, meaning that he can include more subjective evidence like Chris’s nervousness and the way in which Chris denied using drugs. Sometimes he will change his final evaluation after reviewing all the evidence and realizing that he based his conclusion too much on one thing.

After being led to a portable toilet in the parking lot to provide a urine sample, Chris was issued a citation for DUII by his arresting officer and released.

Lillengreen said that even if Chris’s urine sample doesn’t test positive for any substances, the district attorney’s office could still file criminal charges based on the drug evaluation.

CAMPUS COMMUNITY CELEBRATES

COMING OUT DAY

BY EMILY MATLOCK • TWITTER @EMILYD_MATLOCK

A pair of rainbow balloon arches welcomed students to the EMU lawn last Tuesday for the Coming Out Day Festival, a celebration the LGBTQ community on campus and in Eugene. e festival, which was organized by the LGBTQA3 Center, along with the Women’s Center and Multicultural Center, featured a variety of student groups and local organizations, a 77-foot-long inflatable obstacle course, therapy puppies, free HIV testing and a coming out door.

National Coming Out Day has been celebrated across the U.S. on Oct. 11 since 1988, according to the Human Rights Campaign. At the University of Oregon, the event was extended into a week-long celebration in conjunction with LGBT History Month. e festival was “certainly the bestattended Coming Out Week Festival of the last five years, if not ever,” said Max Jensen, who organized the event for the LGBT Education and Support Services office on campus.

“I think it’s important to celebrate coming out and the process and challenges and even the heartache and the pain that comes with it,” said Haley Wilson, coordinator of the support services office. “It is an accomplishment to be vulnerable and authentic with your own identities and to be able to show that to the world.” e LGBTQA3 Center (short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual, aromantic and agender) is a student organization located in the EMU that provides resources and support to the UO community.

“Our ultimate mission is to build safe spaces and make the university campus, and Eugene as a whole, just a really safe space for those that identify as queer in any way,” said Lily Lamadrid, a freshman philosophy major who helped organize the event.

Students at the festival were met by a number of both campus and local groups showing their support for the LGBTQ community. Campus groups

included the Duck Nest, University Counseling, the Queer, Trans and Intersex Students of Color group, and OUTLaws, the LGBT group for law students, among others. From the Eugene community, Trans*Ponder, a trans-founded non-profit group, and As You Like It, a queer-founded sex shop, were tabling on the EMU lawn with others. e UO has been recognized by BestColleges.com and the Campus Pride Index as the top campus for the LGBTQ community in Oregon and one of the top 25 colleges in the country in terms of resources and support, Around the O reported.

“I think it’s great that they make UO known as a place where everyone can be accepted,” said Sarah Hartley, a sophomore computer science major who went to the Coming Out Day Festival. “It’s really cool to just have a festival where everyone feels included.”

ASUO President Maria Alejandra Gallegos-Chacón attended the event as well, in addition to putting her

name on the OUTList. e OUTList is a list of about 450 students, faculty, staff and alumni at the university who openly identify either as members of the LGBTQ community or as allies compiled by the Division of Student Life and published in the Emerald.

Gallegos-Chacón said she recently came out to her dad as bisexual.

Gallegos-Chacón said that while LGBT student groups are leading much of the advocacy work for the community on campus, there is still work to be done.

“Some of my favorite professors are the ones that made it okay to be out and supported me through it, so I do think we have, at times, a good environment,” she said. “But you know, it’s still not perfect.” roughout the month of October, the LGBTQA3 and LGBTESS offices are continuing to host events, ranging from movie screenings, to LGBTea Time, to art exhibits. More information on these events or LGBT campus resources can be found at LGBT.uoregon.edu.

ARTS & CULTURE REVIEW: ELLA MAI’S DEBUT STUDIO ALBUM DELIVERS R&B TO A NEW AUDIENCE AND FULFILLS AN OLD ONE

R&B artist Ella Mai released her self-titled debut album after she rose to fame from her first single, “Boo’d Up.” (Creative Commons)

BY AMIRA BORDERS • TWITTER @MIRRAAAAAAAA e rhythm and blues genre has had a void of artists keeping a consistent sound — meaning plenty of R&B artists have a pop rollout to compensate for the genre not working commercially. But Ella Mai’s self-titled album, released last Friday, gives R&B fans wishing to have that sound back something to refresh their library.

Ella Mai is an English singer from London who rose to fame from her first single, “Boo’d Up,” which has recently become popular despite being released a few months ago. Fans young and old from all mixes of life enjoyed this song. Following this, she released her second single, “Trip,” in August. is song went viral on social media after controversy surrounding R&B singer Jacquees covering the song. Jacquees’ cover started to become bigger than Mai’s, causing 10 Summers and Interscope Records to remove his version. Still, these moments only added to the hype of Mai’s debut album.

Since 10 Summers is DJ Mustard’s label, one can expect the beats on this album to be a bit more uptempo. After listening to the record, it becomes PA G E 8

clear there was a formula used for the majority of the songs. is formula consist of using a simple beat mixed with lack-luster lyrics and a repetitive chorus. With a voice as soothing as Mai’s, this project lacked originality and was underperformed. is album takes listeners on a journey of hearing Mai go from the stages of wanting to be loved to the after-effects of just wanting to live your best life. One can hear this in songs like “Shot Clock,” where she is essentially acknowledging the high mount of men she can have if she wants. is song also has sampled lyrics from Drake’s 2015 single, “Legend.”

Out of all 16 tracks, less than half the album had a non-generic sound without the repetitive lyrics. A lot of the songs had mellow sounds on DJ Mustard produced beats with a catchy chorus filled with effortless lyrics. “Dangerous,” “Easy” and “Naked (Bonus Track)” are some of the songs that stand out to capture the essence of Mai’s voice.

“Watchamacallit” sounded like a throwaway record and could have easily been left off. Going back to earlier critiques, it seemed to go with the formula and took away from the album rather than add to it. e tracks with John Legend and H.E.R served their purpose by showing what Mai’s voice can do alongside other prominent acts. It was a good decision to limit the number of features on this project. e album was good, but at certain moments did not live up to the hype that the first single brought. is is supposed to be a self-titled album introducing the world to Ella Mai. e moments of Mai speaking her truth with spoken word add to the albums mission. However, it is not clear that songs give that same feeling.

I do believe this album will sit well with R&B fans who have been waiting for some pure soulful music.

For new listeners who are just a fan of melodies and good beats, this album will satisfy them as well. If you have been following Ella Mai for some time, this album may come as a bit of a disappointment.

NEW ON THE BLOCK: RIFF COLD BREWED COFFEE

BY JACK FORREST

e Riff Cold Brewed Tap Shack opened at four in the morning on Sept. 22, just in time for the College Gameday rush. Opening early was a way to get business before more popular coffee shops like Starbucks would suck in all of Riff’s potential customers. is little coffee shack, located on the corner of 13th Avenue and Kincaid Street near the patio of Taylor’s Bar and Grill, is doing cold brew a little differently. Riff is a new business that focuses solely on coldbrew coffee and started in Bend, Oregon, in 2018.

Paul Evers, Riff co-founder and CEO, said in a press release that Taylor’s Bar & Grill owner Ramzy Hattar offered him the location to sell Riff’s caffeinated concoctions, and he jumped at the chance to open the shack.

“Riff is a newer company that’s exploring how cold-brew and how coffee experiences are different for different people,” said Briana Buckles, head of the day-to-day operations at the Tap Shack.

Not only did Evers and his team want to open a location to serve their new product, he said, but they also wanted to research what consumers were looking for. Riff decided to utilize the resources that were present in Eugene and hire four graduate students from the UO Lundquist College of Business to run the Tap Shack like it’s their own small business.

“We began a recruitment campaign and

within two weeks had four incredibly bright, fun-spirited and talented Ducks to lead the operation,” said Evers in the press release. “ e beauty is, these young adults are so capable. We anticipate learning a ton from them.”

Briana Buckles, Phil Denara, Travis Kim and Daryl Mogilewsky are the four graduate students that Riff hired for this marketing project. Each student has a different job within the Tap Shack, ranging from indepth market research to experimenting and making unique cold-brew flavors.

Mogilewsky said one of the best parts about the opportunity is the freedom given by the founders at Riff to set prices, hire their own employees and even create their own menu.

“Our piece in all of this is intended to kind of be a market research hub where they can collect information on how people are interacting with coffee and cold brew,” said Buckles. She and the other three graduate students are interested in learning about what people like to put in their coffee and eat alongside their drink.

Not only does Riff get the opportunity to conduct such exhaustive market research, but the students also have the chance to learn beneficial skills for owning and operating their own businesses. “ is is like our own living, breathing Harvard Business case sitting right outside of the UO campus,” Mogilwesky said.

ENSURING THE QUALITY OF

EUGENE’S HOUSE SHOW SCENE

BY SARAROSA DAVIES TWITTER @SROSIEDOSIE On any given weekend night, hoards of University of Oregon students party in living rooms, basements and kitchens. But instead of trap music blaring through Bluetooth speakers, sweaty 20-somethings play indie rock to a rowdy crowd of their peers. In the morning, residents move couches back into place and clean up empty beer cans. Murmurings of the next show make their way around town through Facebook and word-of-mouth.

Eugene students and recent graduates have thrown concerts at places such as e Fish Tank, e Plant House, e Blair House and

e Rat House — all venues that have made up the Eugene house show scene over the years. “ ere’s something to be said with playing in a kitchen, a living room, a basement,” Nate Hansen, a member of the newly formed Blue Plant Collective, said. “ at just can’t be recreated in a club space.”

Packed house shows are a staple of Eugene’s music scene due to their accessibility, intimacy and all-ages, do-it-yourself ethos. But the stability and quality of the scene has waxed and waned over the years, according to Hansen. e Blue Plant Collective and its 40 or so members aim to produce house shows with professional production values around town. Members

of Eugene bands, house show attendees and other scenesters are brainstorming to ensure quality house shows will continue in Eugene.

“For the time being, we want to create an active presence in the house show scene, specifically, and come to as many spaces as are willing to host us,” Hansen said.

Blue Plant was partly born out of a basement venue called e Blue Room that Hansen and a few other people ran because they saw a gap in quality at house concerts around town.

Hansen would play and attend shows with great bands, but found the audio and lighting to be lacking in quality.

Once he was playing a show and the power went off in the middle of his band’s set.

e Blue Room filled that quality gap for a year and a half, producing shows with professional sound production almost twice a week.

But this summer, Hansen and his roommates moved out. at’s when he and a few other people began to brainstorm ideas to continue producing house shows in Eugene that maintain the quality found at the Blue Room.

At the same time Hansen was moving out, beloved Eugene band Spiller was on a nationwide tour.

Hansen broke the news to the band, and Spiller’s Sam Mendoza and Luke Broadbent, among the band’s other members, began brainstorming ideas about expanding the Blue Room’s mission.

With Blue Room’s closing and Spiller’s upcoming return, the timing seemed to click for the collective’s members. “It just felt right,” Broadbent said.

When Spiller returned to Eugene late last summer, other members of the scene joined the conversation, and soon Blue Plant Collective was created. Its name is a mishmash of e Blue Room and the Plant House — where Spiller began hosting and booking shows nearly two years ago.

In the collective’s few months of operation, members have met at an eclectic bunch of apartments to plan concerts and events, make partnerships with student co-ops such as the Lorax Manner and standardize their production process. e collective held its first show, with a lineup of Eugene bands including Novacane, Spiller and the Breakfast Boys Leisure League — at a house called e Fish Tank on Sept. 29.

At a meeting about a week after the show, members sat in an apartment near the School of Music and Dance drinking coffee out of worn mugs and eating birthday cake-flavored Oreos. ey reflected on what went well at the show: Attendance was high, people came with relatively short notice and audience members seemed to enjoy it.

But they also learned a few things about interacting with a house’s residents and how to streamline certain processes — such as setup, cleanup and door security. One member of the collective, Rachel Hammack, brought up how she

found out an audience member jumped the house’s fence during the show. e collective had a discussion from there about how to take better care of the spaces where it books shows.

“We’re constantly keeping our ears to the ground about how we can better streamline the show and make it feel like it’s a club show, but in a house space,” Hansen said. ese reflections led to a conversation about paying artists, insuring sound equipment and providing money to those who lend their houses for shows. ey discussed potential legal questions about space use and noise complaints.

At the meeting, they also talked about upcoming shows and a potential partnership with the Lorax Manner to host Blue Plant lineups.

Conversation flowed from one topic to the next, riding waves of ideas and excited interjections. Hansen said meetings have had a very unilateral decision-making process.

Although KWVA programming director and DJ Bobby Schenk took notes at the meeting, the collective doesn’t have a typical administrative structure — yet.

Schenk said he’s creating a workflow so members and volunteers know what they are responsible for at each concert and each meeting. e next event the collective has planned is a DJ show and art gallery on Oct. 20. Schenk will be DJing, along with another member Josh Berliner, who performs under the name Kid April.

Members of the collective were also present at a concert at the Lorax on Oct. 13. Spiller headlined right after Doink! (another Eugene band) and Connecticut band e Most also played.

At the show, members helped run doors, emcee and had a general presence. ough this may have been a typical Eugene show music wise, Spiller’s Mendoza said Blue Plant is aiming to book more than just indie-rock shows. emed events, newcomer nights and smaller acoustic shows are all ideas that members have come up with.

An all-ages, accessible ethos colors all the events they have planned.

“Where the young people are is where some of the best stuff is happening. at’s where all the energy and youthfulness in music is happening,” Mendoza said. “And if you can’t give people a platform to

play, then what’s the point?”

Maybe, some members said, the collective will add a multimedia component like acoustic house show purveyors Sofar Sounds or even try booking shows at Eugene music venues in the future.

But for now, Blue Plant Collective is just aiming to put on wellproduced shows in a streamlined way at houses that will take them.

Anyone can volunteer their house for shows.

“Everyone is like ‘Yeah, Eugene has a great house show scene,’ and it totally does.” Spiller’s Luke Broadbent said. “But it only does if you maintain it.”

To find out more about Blue Plant shows, visit the collective’s Facebook page at Blue Plant Productions.

House addresses are usually posted in a concert’s Facebook event the day of each show.

After a conversation between several prominent house show scenesters, Blue Plant Collective was created.

OPINION

THE WRONG KIND OF FIGHT

BY ANDREW STEVENS • TWITTER @VNDREWWS

(Illustration by Benjamin Milandin )

e night of Oct. 6, I found myself in front of the television for four consecutive hours watching men and women beating each other to a pulp. is was UFC 229: McGregor v.

Khabib, its violent glory withheld from network television in lieu of pay-per-view. Maybe I had forgotten that UFC stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship, but I was surprised at the savagery of these fights. It feels a bit odd to be in 2018, when awareness of danger in contact sports is at an all-time high, and watch two men punch each other in the head over and over.

Disrespect and trash talk seem to be staples of the UFC, but this time things seemed more personal. In a video before the fight, Conor McGregor is seen throwing a chair through the window of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team bus. I thought this seemed a little extreme but attributed it to all the pageantry and fake hate involved with fighting sports. en the fights happened. After three lower tier — but equally brutal — fights, the marquee fight begins.

Finally, the main attraction. McGregor and Khabib step out of the shadows into the ring with the kind of swagger only the UFC can create. ough both contestants weigh less than I do, they seem larger than life and ready to draw blood.

e fight didn’t last long. It only took Khabib three minutes to get McGregor to submit. is is when my interest in the UFC peaked. Khabib jumped out of the ring to attack a member of Conor’s team. en someone else jumped into the ring to fight McGregor himself, and the arena turned into a brawl.

Despite the UFC’s being built around fighting and trash talk, this time things went too far.

Khabib wasn’t allowed to leave with the belt he earned because of this post-match fight, and both players were fined heavily. e fight that occurred in the crowd after the event only reinforced my feeling that the UFC is out of place. ese are modern day gladiators.

It’s no longer sport, just a violent grudge match fueled by real anger.

During this fight, there was definitely an underlying feeling of resentment coming from Khabib. at resentment culminated violently at the end of the fight, but after hearing Khabib’s side, his actions make more sense.

Leading up to the fight, there was a lot of trash talk as usual, but the cultural differences between the two amplified that difference. After the altercation, Khabib took to Instagram to voice his opinion, saying: “Why didn’t you fire anyone when their team attacked the bus and

injured a couple of people? ey could have killed someone there, why no one says anything about insulting my homeland, religion, nation, family?” is statement was made in response to members of Khabibs team having fights canceled forcibly by the UFC after the McGregor incident. Khabib feels McGregor’s team started the fight by being highly disrespectful of his culture, as well as physically attacking them.

McGregor’s behavior being tolerated makes the UFC look irresponsible. e resentment between McGregor and Khabib might have seemed like it was for show, but things went too far and the UFC responded poorly to Conor’s harassment.

Apart from catching a few landmark fights like Pacquiao v. Mayweather, I haven’t paid much attention to UFC; however, I seem to find myself forking over money for more at least once a year. I’d be willing to bet I’m not the only seasonal UFC fan, as there’s something undeniably entertaining about watching a fight.

In the end, the violence might be what keeps the UFC alive, but more controversies like this could serve as knockout blows to end the sport as we know it.

OPINION

ADDRESSING THE IMPACTS OF MEASURE 105

BY SAMUEL ANTHONY “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It’s the golden rule, and from my experience, the Oregonian way. Or at least, it’s supposed to be. A new measure up for vote, Measure 105, is threatening to take away Oregon’s status as a sanctuary state. is new measure will put that golden rule to the test.

On July 7, 1987, the bill making Oregon a sanctuary state was signed into law. e bill passed with wide support, making it through the senate and house with votes of 29-1 and 58-1, respectively. is bill was designed to keep Oregon’s state tax money from being used for the purpose of investigating those who are suspected of being here without papers.

However, the bill also doubled as a way to prevent racial profiling, as before the bill, local police could stop or interrogate someone under “suspicion” that they may be here illegally.

Measure 105 would reverse this bill and allow for state tax money to be spent on investigating and arresting those who may be our neighbors, coworkers or even friends. In addition, it would also allow for profiling by police, which would bring worry and

intimidation to those who are here legally.

According to orunited.org, the main supporters of the bill are Oregonians for Immigration Reform and Federation of Immigration Reform.

Both are labeled as extremist hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

While many frame Oregon’s sanctuary state status as a “free pass” to those who are here without legal permission, this isn’t the case.

Oregon’s sanctuary laws don’t protect those who are here illegally from being deported. If someone commits a crime and is found to be here illegally, they will most likely be deported.

What Oregon’s sanctuary laws do is prevent police from investigating someone purely based off suspicions. is means they are not allowed to ask random citizens to show their papers based off their skin color, as we’ve seen in other states without these sanctuary laws. e purpose of the original bill was to prevent police from stopping or interrogating people solely under the suspicion they had immigrated illegally. e police shouldn’t act as both law enforcement and immigration and customs agents. eir main job should

be tracking down and stopping crimes that have a real and direct impact on citizens safety and livelihoods, like violent crime and theft.

Even in our own capitol, Salem, crimes rates are continuing to rise.

Rather than using the finite resources at their disposal to track down people who commit no other crimes than that of being undocumented, they should be using those resources to stop dangerous crimes that make our cities unsafe.

Along with reducing the amount of tax money spent on fighting these kinds of crimes, Measure 105 would also have a serious effect on the ability of police to investigate and prosecute these crimes, as many undocumented immigrants would be afraid to report crimes, call or talk to the police, and testify against criminals for fear that they themselves would be deported because of it.

In addition to the impacts it could have on our ability to fight crime, measure 105 could have significant consequences when it comes to Oregon’s economy as well.

A large portion of Oregon’s revenue and taxes comes from agriculture, and according to wweek.com, we rely heavily on immigrant labor, both

legal and illegal, for farming. Fifty-six percent of the agricultural workers in Oregon are immigrants, and without them, one of Oregon’s biggest sources of revenue would likely collapse.

We also rely on them heavily for our packaging and industrial operations, which again bring in huge amounts of revenue for Oregon.

With revenue comes taxes, and many of the statements that are made about undocumented workers not paying taxes are myths. According to occp.com, undocumented workers pay $81 million dollars a year in Oregon taxes, which goes to fund things such as schools and roads. In addition, theatlantic.com estimates that undocumented workers nationwide pay an estimated $13 billion a year to social security— most of which they will never see for themselves.

Whether or not you agree with undocumented immigrants being allowed to stay in Oregon, the effects of voting yes on measure 105 have a negative impact on everyone. It allows for racial profiling of those who are here legally, it diverts funds from stopping dangerous crimes, and it could have a major impact on industries and taxes both state and nation wide. Vote no on 105.

Phily Bowden in 17th place with a time of 20:39.5 and Carmela Cardama Baex finished just after in 19th at 20:40.9.

On the men’s side, James West was the first finisher for the Ducks, who ran 24:14.7, good for 12th place. Charlie Hunter was the next Oregon finisher at 24:25.4. e team placed fourth overall with 152 points. Northern Arizona put on a dominant performance by placing five runners in the top 15, which gave them a score of 41.

Teammates Cooper Teare (24:33.4), Blake Haney (24:33.9) and Jackson Mestler (24:34.1) put on a solid display of pack running. e trio finished 3739, respectively.

Next on the schedule for the Ducks is the Pac-12 Championships in Palo Alto, California, on Oct. 26.

e Ducks were 6 yards from the end zone in the first overtime. It was third down, and a touchdown would defeat the No. 7 Washington Huskies.

Oregon was planning on passing the ball, but Washington countered by playing six defensive backs, so right before the snap, Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal ran down the sideline and called a timeout.

“I almost pulled a hamstring sprinting down there on the sideline,” Cristobal said.

Two starters on the O-line had already been injured, and freshman running back CJ Verdell was carrying the load. So they called an inside zone. Verdell ran through the line and into the end zone, and the No. 17 Ducks defeated the No. 7 Washington Huskies 30-27.

Cristobal took the ball out of star quarterback Justin Herbert’s hands, and he put his faith in Oregon’s ability to push one of the Pac-12’s best run defenses.

It wasn’t the only time. He consistently ran it on every down, no matter the situation. Despite the injuries, the Ducks ran to victory with a wounded offensive line.

“I call them Moses because, as a group, they just love to open up like the Red Sea,” running back Travis Dye said. “I give them all the credit.”

But the Ducks didn’t win with anything biblical or through divine intervention. ey won with physicality. e Cristobal way.

“Coach Cristobal just told us that we are a downhill team, and we were going to keep running downhill,” Verdell said. “I was just glad the coaches put their trust in me to run the ball.”

Right guard Dallas Warmack went down with an injury in the first half. He returned but went

down again and did not return.

Freshman left tackle Penei Sewell also left during the first half. He returned in the second but got hurt again and could not come back.

After this, Oregon shifted its O-line. Calvin rockmorton moved from right tackle to left tackle, Jacob Capra came in at right guard and Brady Aiello went to right tackle.

“We trust Brady Aiello and we trust Capra,” Cristobal said. “We consider those guys in our circles co-starters.” e numbers agree. Oregon continued to run the ball, finishing with 17 more runs than passes.

Oregon’s runs weren’t for long gains. e Ducks only had one run over 10 yards, but they chipped away, never doubting the strategy, even when it didn’t always work.

“If you watch the structure of our practice, it is completely designed to improve fundamentals and technique, and a huge portion of that is making sure we know how to win the line of scrimmage,” Cristobal said. e offensive line vouched for Cristobal to become Oregon’s head coach when he was a candidate. rough Oregon’s game plan against Washington, Cristobal vouched for them. A win against a Pac-12 rival and a top-10 team makes the work pay off.

“It validates all of their work, their investment,” Cristobal said.

“It validates their trust and belief with everything that they’ve gone through. ... When guys do this, and they see this kind of result, and they have this unbelievable feeling with their teammates and accomplishment, it’s a life changer.”

What would Cristobal do if Verdell fell short? Guess.

“We were going to go for the win,” Cristobal said.

UPSET AT UTAH

BY GABRIEL ORNELAS • TWITTER @GABE_ORNELAS e No. 14 Oregon Ducks (12-6, 5-3 Pac-12) were upset by the unranked Utah Utes (11-8, 3-5 Pac-12) in four sets (22-25, 18-25, 26-24, 23-25) on Sunday in Salt Lake City. e Ducks started the match without three of their starters, Brooke Nuneviller, Brooke Van Sickle and Willow Johnson, due to a violation of team rules.

Oregon went from a sevenplayer rotation to a six-player rotation after outside hitter Taylor Borup went down with a foot injury in the second set.

Oregon quickly found itself down two sets after Utah held Oregon to a .154 hitting percentage in set one and .062 hitting percentage in set two.

Utah’s big block in front of the net was able to get a total of eight through the first two sets to stifle Oregon’s offense.

e Ducks rallied to win the third set with only a six-player rotation that included Camryn Tastad, a 5-foot-3 libero playing the front row.

Lindsey Vander Weide and Sumeet Gill led the Oregon offense throughout the match, but especially in set three. Vander Weide tallied 19 kills on 53 takes and Gill had 13 kills on 19 takes and accounted for 14.5 points.

e Oregon Ducks celebrate the win over Washington. (Devin Roux)

NO. 17 OREGON UPSETS NO. 7 WASHINGTON IN REDEMPTIONFILLED OVERTIME THRILLER

BY MAVERICK PALLACK • TWITTER @MAVPALLACK ree weeks after a devastating loss when it seemed every card was against them, the No. 17 Oregon Ducks made all the right moves to upset the No. 7 Washington in 30-27 overtime, walking off with a 6-yard rushing touchdown by redshirt freshman CJ Verdell. ere were three seconds left on the clock. Washington kicker Peyton Henry took aim for a potential 37-yard game-winning field goal.

Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal chose to use both his timeouts to ice Henry. After the first kick was pushed right and the second was good, Henry was given his third and final attempt to end the game.

If Henry made it, the Huskies would win. If he missed, the game would head into overtime. e sideline and crowd did their best to get in Henry’s head, but all anyone in green and yellow could really do was hope and pray.

“It’s really not fun,” Cristobal said.

“It’s something you’ve watched since you were a kid. … You always ask, ‘Why do you ice the kicker? Why do you actually do that?’ Well, if we have a timeout, I’m gonna keep doing that. … You don’t have any other plays.”

Henry lined up for the kick and it was wide right. e Ducks were given a lifeline. ey would get a chance to not only defeat their rival Washington for the first time since 2015, but to get their first overtime victory since October of 2015.

In overtime, it took a few big plays to send Autzen into a frenzy.

After the defense held the Huskies to a field goal — thanks to a run stuffed by Austin Faoliu and

an incompletion by Washington quarterback Jake Browning — the offense took the field looking to put at least three points on the board.

Unlike the Stanford overtime drive, Oregon did not panic when trailing. e Ducks ran two times up the middle but were forced into a third-and-11 situation.

Despite Dillon Mitchell being the most obvious target, quarterback Justin Herbert still found his go-to guy for a clutch 17-yard gain. “ at’s a play we run 20 times in practice,” Herbert said. “So I knew he was gonna get open.”

Two plays later, on third and 6, Verdell took the handoff to win the game. is, of course, comes just three weeks after Verdell had a heartbreaking fumble at the end of the Stanford loss. Saturday, however, Verdell didn’t need any consoling.

“I always say things happen for a reason,” Mitchell said. “We were just out there sitting with CJ before we came in. I was definitely just looking at him, remembering the Stanford game and how bad it was. He was talking about how, at the end, people were trying to pick him up. … I was happy for him. I definitely was.” e Stanford game could have been catastrophic, but players did not allow that result to beat them twice. e team came back and won what could be the program’s best victory since the 2015 Rose Bowl.

“I’ve been here for a lot of games, and I think that’s probably one of the best experiences that I’ve ever been a part of,” Herbert said. “For us to fight back like that and not lose focus was unreal. It’s great to celebrate with these guys.”

Become a modern healer and pursue a meaningful career in natural medicine.

We’d love to meet you!
