W MIDTERM ELECTION GUIDE

BUEHLER AND BROWN BATTLE FOR GOVERNOR

BY EMILY MATLOCK • TWITTER @EMILYD_MATLOCK With only two weeks to go before the 2018 midterm elections, ballots are filling mailboxes across the state. e two major-party candidates are incumbent Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, and Rep. Knute Buehler. Brown is slightly ahead of her opponent in polls, but the two candidates have similar views on many social issues. Also running are Patrick Starnes, an Independent; Aaron Auer, with the Constitution party; Nick Chen, a Libertarian and Chris Henry, a Progressive.

Brown took office in 2015 after the resignation of former Gov. John Kitzhaber amid a criminal investigation. Prior to becoming the state’s 37th governor, she was the secretary of state from 2009 to 2015 and has served in the state legislature for 17 years. Brown was Oregon’s first female Senate Majority Leader in 2004 and is the first openly bisexual person to be elected governor in the U.S. Buehler is a state representative in Bend and an orthopedic surgeon. In 2012, he ran against Brown for the Secretary of State office. According to his website, Buehler is “a fiscally responsible, pro-choice moderate with an independent streak.” If elected, Buehler would be the first Republican governor of Oregon since 1987.

Below are the two major-party candidates’ views on some of the top issues this election.

Health care

Brown and Buehler are both pro-choice and have championed legislature on reproductive rights in Oregon. Brown supported the 2017 Reproductive Health Equity Act, which made affordable reproductive health care more accessible for Oregonians, including women who

have immigrated illegally.

Buehler voted to allow pharmacists to prescribe over-the-counter birth control; however, he voted “no” on a bill that would have expanded Medicaid to cover abortions and other women’s health care. According to his website, he aims to reduce unintended pregnancy by 25 percent in five years by providing comprehensive women’s health care.

Additionally, both candidates recognized opioid addiction and mental health as major issues in which to invest. Both have said they want to ensure that Oregonians, especially children, have access to quality health care at an affordable cost.

Education

Both Buehler and Brown have set goals to improve high school graduation rates in the state, which are among the lowest in the country. Buehler was first to propose extending the school year from 170 to 180 days, and Brown was soon to follow with the same proposal. ey are also both planning to fund antidropout and career and technical education programs.

Buehler is proposing a 15 percent increase in state funding for public schools for the 2019–2021 and 2021–2023 school year budgets, whereas Brown hasn’t set deadlines or mandates for funding.

Brown lists public safety as one of her priorities and has called for sensible gun laws, including legislation that would “keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or others,” according to her website.

Buehler’s website doesn’t specify his position on gun control, but he has said he is against initiatives that would limit the sale of assault weapons and expanding background checks, according to the Oregonian. He did say he would support common sense gun laws such as restricting anyone under 21 from buying assault weapons and having a three-day wait period for buying handguns.

Environmental policy

Both candidates disagree with President Donald Trump’s plan to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Brown has been a long-time supporter of clean energy and renewable resources. She has signed into law a number of programs to ensure clean air and water and promote the use of renewable energy sources.

Buehler also supported a 2016 bill to push Oregon away from the use of coal as an energy source; however, he has accepted donations, over $880,000, from organizations that oppose strict environmental regulations, according to the Oregonian. His campaign website doesn’t list environmental policy as one of his top priorities, which are health care, homelessness, education and bridging Oregon’s rural/urban divide.

TEXTING AND DRIVING MAKES GOOD PEOPLE LOOK BAD.

Brown has said she wants to prioritize ending homelessness for children and veterans, invest in permanent housing and increase the state’s investment in affordable housing to create 25,000 affordable homes by 2023.

Buehler’s goal is to end unsheltered homelessness by 2023 by minimizing unsafe shelters and providing

up to 4,000 emergency shelter beds. Buehler also said he would turn the recently sold Wapato Jail into a homeless shelter.

THE NON-DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN PARTIES ON THE BALLOT

BY BRAD MOORE • TWITTER @BRADFORDM128 U.S. political parties outside of Democrat and Republican are marginal with regard to news coverage and representation in national politics; however, some politicians from these parties do hold seats in congress and have major voices in local or regional decisions. e Emerald has compiled a set of descriptions for non-major parties voters may see in this year’s election.

Constitution Party of Oregon

Pacific Green Party of Oregon

Independent Party of Oregon

Oregon Progressive Party

Libertarian Party of Oregon

Working Families Party of Oregon

e Constitution Party positions itself as a Christian political party and nominates candidates who pledge to defend its three principles: one, that God is the ultimate “king, lawgiver and judge of mankind” whose word must be heeded. Two, both church and state must defend and support the institution of “family.” And three, civil government must protect freedom of conscience, private property and “innocent human life from conception to natural death.” e party also believes in restricting federal government powers to only what is granted in the Constitution.

e Independent Party bases its platform on the beliefs that the current government is not accountable to ordinary citizens and that politics have become too partisan and corrupted by special interests. It claims to nominate candidates who have the “backing and trust of their local communities.” Some of its platform policies include opposition to inefficient government spending, increasing transparency in the way government operates and spends money, environmental protection from “all types of insult” and improving job training opportunities and education.

e Libertarian Party claims to be a centrist political party that believes in the “social freedoms espoused by liberals and the economic freedoms espoused by conservatives.” It advocates for policies that limit government’s ability to increase either its spending or its control over social choices that people make.

It believes that government is needed in the policing of unwanted force against individuals but that otherwise people should be free in how they live their lives provided that they “do not infringe upon others’ freedom in doing so.”

e Pacific Green Party describes itself as a political organization working to support a society based on principles of “peace, sustainability, social and economic justice and grassroots democracy.” Its platform policies aim to establish a “green economy for the 99 percent.” ese policies include changing Oregon voting to a ranked choice system like that in Maine, supporting rent control and living wages based on local housing costs, and creating an economy focused on repairing infrastructure and decreasing use of fossil fuels and chemicals.

e Progressive Party claims to fight for “economic justice, human rights, environmental protection, and grassroots democracy.” It opposes such things as the influence of large campaign donations in politics, funding for wars and “Wall Street bailouts” and free trade agreements that they feel benefit corporations at the expense of the public. It supports a “Medicare for All” healthcare system, equal rights for all people, tax reform that benefits the middle class, a $15 minimum wage and action to prevent air pollution and climate change.

e Working Families Party states that it aims to build an Oregon “that works for all of us, not just the wealthy and well connected.” It claims to vigorously fight voter suppression and the influence of money in politics. It supports unions and fair working conditions, healthcare for all, more funding for public education and no tuition fees at institutes of higher education, reforming the immigration and criminal justice systems, a state bank that can help small businesses and family farms, and increased taxes for corporations and wealthy individuals.

e above information comes from official party statements in the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet.

ARTS & CULTURE e Mild High Club put on an alternative, jazzy concert at the EMU Ballroom on Friday. (Sarah Urban)

REVIEW: MILD HIGH CLUB BRINGS HAZY INDIE ROCK TO THE EMU BALLROOM

BY NIC CASTILLON Mild High Club, the jangly solo project of LA-based musician Alexander Brettin, performed a free show at the EMU Ballroom on Friday night. Brettin, along with his touring bandmates, brought a set of hazy, jazzinspired indie music to the ballroom’s relaxed atmosphere. e concert also featured an opening set from the local Eugene band Laundry.

Prior to the doors opening, a line had already snaked around the McMillan Gallery on the second floor of the EMU. e crowd, however, consisted of a predominantly college-aged group. e trendy attire — crewneck sweaters, tasteful graphic tees, carefully constructed color palettes — likely tipped off passersby to the type of alternative music being performed.

Laundry took the stage shortly after 7 p.m., after everyone had shuffled in.

Despite its role as the opener, the band received a large amount of attention from the audience. Self-described as “punk funk,” Laundry has recently made a name for itself in the Eugene music scene, with regular billings

at various house shows around town. e band’s performance Friday night kept a high energy, contrasting quiet bedroom pop moments with loud, bluesy guitar rock.

Laundry’s entire set lasted around 45 minutes.

After Laundry, members of Mild High Club came out to prep the stage. e headliner then started its set around 8 p.m., with a fitting opening number, the instrumental “Club Intro.”

Brettin and his bandmates kept a casual vibe throughout, with music that was somewhat hypnotizing — sleepy but never boring. Most of the hits, from both the debut and sophomore albums, made their way into the setlist.

Performances of the melancholic “Skiptracing” and the tightly-arranged “Windowpane” lived up to the quality of their respective studio recordings. Brettin, who remained on guitar for the majority of the set, moved over to the synthesizer for the song “Kokopelli,” which featured some controlled psychedelic freakouts.

A jazzy instrumental — similar to Mild High Club’s guest work on last year’s King

Gizzard album, “Sketches of Brunswick East”— highlighted Brettin’s musical roots. e artist studied jazz music during his time at Columbia College in Chicago, and this influence shined through when the band covered the infectious Roy Ayers track, “Everybody Loves the Sunshine,” at the end of its set. e crowd may have noticeably dwindled toward the end of the show, but everybody hanging around remained enthusiastic. People danced in the open space near the back. A large disco ball periodically lit up the venue.

Brettin also appeared to genuinely enjoy his time performing, thanking the audience between many of the songs. ere wasn’t much stage banter, but Brettin did ask at the beginning of the show if anyone could give him a Ducks shirt. Unfortunately, the Duck Store had already closed. e concert felt slightly anticlimactic when the band strolled off stage at the end of night.

But Mild High Club didn’t need a big ending. e band’s psychedelic pop music was tight, polished and pleasant throughout, providing for a great Friday evening.

MODERN HORROR FILMS THAT EMPOWER THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY

BY ILANA SLAVIT

An impactful horror film showcases society’s greatest fears and makes them real.

From the portrayal of a gay man as a pedophile in “In a Glass Cage” to the depiction of a murderous transgender woman in “Psycho” and “Dressed to Kill,” some horror films have used their influence to demonize the LGBTQIA+ community and perpetuate stereotypes.

With increasing acceptance and awareness of the LGBTQIA+ community in the past few decades, horror filmmakers have flipped the script to promote positive queer representation on screen.

Here is the Emerald’s guide to three essential queer horror films just in time for the Halloween season and LGBTQIA+ History Month:

The Classic: “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”

Originally panned by critics upon release in 1975, “ e Rocky Horror Picture Show,” directed by Jim Sharman, has become a cult classic over the past two decades among the LGBTQIA+ community and the punk scene. e horror-musical follows a traditional heteronormative couple, Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon), as they adjust to the sexual and gender fluid inhabitants of a creepy mansion. With campy musical numbers and colorful characters, the film resonated with many viewers who felt disconnected from mainstream society. e film’s continuing popularity — it is the longest running film still exhibited in theaters — mainly derives from shadow cast performances. ese reenactments by actors in front of a live screening started in Greenwich Village, New York, in 1975 and have been ongoing ever since. e showing also involves various gags, such as writing the word “virgin” on the faces of those attending the show for the first time. Participants and audience members usually dress up as characters from the film, or in similar gothically provocative outfits.

Students can catch a free screening of “ e Rocky Horror Picture Show” at Ducks After Dark with a student ID on ursday, Oct. 25 in the EMU Ballroom.

Refn, is one of the most controversial queer horror films of the 2010s. e film explores the fashion industry from a purposely surface-level perspective, which contrasts its oversaturated, graphic visuals and resulted in mixed critical reviews.

Aspiring model Jesse (Elle Fanning) is literally preyed upon by other competing models and men who take advantage of her inexperience. e film uses the predatory lesbian trope in the relationship between Jesse and a makeup artist (Jena Malone). However, the overtness of this trope makes sense in connection with the superficial nature of the film. “ e Neon Demon” barely develops its characters. Instead, it focuses on the gaudy cinematography to criticize the media’s depiction of women as objects. e film claims that not only men, but other women and society as a whole, are to blame for the objectification of women.

The Mainstream: “Jennifer’s Body”

“Jennifer’s Body,” directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody in 2009, was one of the first mainstream horror movies to explore queer teenage sexuality.

High school cheerleader Jennifer (Megan Fox) is possessed by a demon and murders her male classmates in this darkly comedic film. Her best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) attempts to stop Jennifer before she annihilates the entire male population of their high school.

Although the film isn’t overtly queer, the LGBTQIA+ community latched on to one specific makeout scene, as it diverged from the heteronormativity of most teenage films of the 2000s. e film’s lead actress Megan Fox came out as bisexual near the time the movie was released, creating further buzz around the film’s queer content. e film could be viewed as exploitative or containing a male gaze as it focuses on Jennifer’s sexuality; however, she subverts her objectification by seducing and killing the boys who take advantage of her. e cast and crew of the film are mainly female and queer, which many viewers found empowering in such a male-dominated industry.

W MIDTERM ELECTION GUIDE

HOW THE COLLEGIATE VOTE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

BY DONNY MORRISON Only 10 years ago, voters between the ages of 18 and 24 played a significant role in electing Barack Obama. e turnout for youth voters in the 2008 elections was the highest since the government started keeping track in 1972. But the 2014 midterm elections saw the lowest number of voters of the same age group in over four decades.

“Young people, historically, don’t show up for midterm elections,” said Alison Gash, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. “Are groups that don’t normally vote going to be voting this year? at’s the question.”

Regardless of that declining trend, experts say this year will be different. e 2018 midterm elections are projected to see somewhere between 45 to 50 percent total voter participation, according to an NPR interview with Michael McDonald, a professor from University of Florida who studies voter turnout. is would make 2018 the highest midterm election turnout since the 1960s, a time in American history wrought with social and cultural imbalance.

Even if voter participation is higher than usual, that doesn’t necessarily mean that young people are the cause of the increase. e big question, according to Gash, is whether or not young people will be represented in the projected increase.

Early voter projections can never tell the whole story, according to Gash. “ e voter turnout projections are all based on pretty anecdotal evidence. So you never really know until the day-of.”

OREGON’S 5 BALLOT MEASURES AND WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

BY ERIN CAREY • TWITTER @ELCAREY Oregonians will be filling out their ballots on five new measures with topics ranging from taxes on groceries to preventing public funds from being spent on abortions. Here is what students should know about these measures:

M O N D AY, O C T O B E R 2 2 , 2 0 1 8

e 2018 midterm elections come at a time of increased polarization among Americans struggling to come to terms with a Trump presidency. e divide is evident in Oregon, with polls predicting Governor Kate Brown only narrowly beating Republican candidate Knute Buehler — who’s attempting to become the first Republican governor in Oregon since 1982.

According to the Oregon secretary of state voter registration and participation statistics, 70.9 percent of registered voters participated in the 2014 midterm elections. is is much higher than the national average of that year, which sat at 36.4 percent, the lowest in 70 years.

While it may be especially important for students to vote in this year’s election, Gash would argue that it’s always important to vote if you want to live in a working democracy.

“I don’t think there is an argument to be made that voting isn’t important,” Gash said. “Every vote counts and that becomes especially true in district elections. When you’re talking about members of the House of Representatives, you’re talking districts as opposed to states, and so the smaller the population, the more that each vote counts.” e elections, still two weeks away, aren’t necessarily a national guage of where the country stands in regards to the ever-looming 2020 presidential election. It is, however, a chance for young people, and the country as a whole, to say what they are looking for in leadership and craft the country they want.

Measure 102: Housing — Measure 102, titled

I VOTED

I don’t think there is an argument to be made that voting isn’t important.

Every vote counts and that becomes especially true in district elections.”

ALISON GASH UO political science professor

the “Removes Restriction that Affordable Housing Projects Funded by Municipal Bonds be Government Owned Amendment,” is a constitutional amendment lifting the ban on local governments working with nonprofits and small businesses to put more money towards affordable housing in their communities. is is in an effort to help Portland’s homeless crisis; however, some are saying that legislators wrote a flawed amendment that does not include what constitutes affordable housing or who would be in charge of auditing these projects.

In Support: Oregon Governor Kate Brown, Defend Oregon, gubernatorial candidate Knute Buehler, Oregon Food Bank, Meals on Wheels People In Opposition: e Bike Party (a self-described political organization advocating for “safe bicycling and sustainable communities locally and worldwide.”)

Measure 103: Taxes on Groceries — known

as the “Ban Tax on Groceries Initiative,” this amendment would prevent any enactment or increase on state or local taxes, fees or sale assessments when buying groceries in Oregon. Oregon doesn’t have a statewide sales tax, but there is also nothing that prevents the state legislature from creating one, which supporters say could harm lower and middle income families. Opposition says that the measure is unnecessary and is poorly written, with many tax loopholes that affect everything from Medicaid to the Bottle Bill.

VOTING OUT OF STATE

BY FRANLIN LEWIS TWITTER @FLEWIS_1 For the close to 5,000 University of Oregon students from California, it is not too late to register to vote in their home county elections.

According to the California Secretary of State’s Office, California residents living out of state can register online by midnight of Oct. 22.

When registering, applicants should mark they want a vote-by-mail ballot.

Voters should be careful to distinguish between their home address and mailing address. Home address refers to the voter’s permanent address in California, while mailing address means the temporary address in Oregon.

Out-of-state California voters must also provide some form of ID when they register: a driver’s license number, California identification number or the last four digits of one’s Social Security number.

If the California resident is already registered to vote in California, they still must fill out a vote-by-mail application which needs to be received by Oct. 30. Voters can choose to have their ballot mailed, faxed or emailed to them, according to the California secretary of state’s website.

Once ballots are filled out, voters can return them to their California polling office by mail, in person to their county’s polling office, in their county’s drop box or recruit people to deliver them on their behalves.

Measure 104: Budget — e “Definition of Raising Revenue for ree-Fifths Vote Requirement Initiative” would require a three-fifths, or supermajority, vote from state lawmakers to pass a revenue-raising bill including tax breaks like exemptions or credits. ose in support say it’s intended to help small businesses and homeowners by closing loopholes that are being taken advantage of, creating tax hikes. ose in opposition say that this would hurt those who rely on revenue, like schools, and that it would make it hard to reevaluate tax subsidies.

ASUO BRINGS

STUDENT VOICES TO THE BALLOT BOX

BY GEORGIA GREENBLUM After years of record low turnout by young voters, ASUO has been working to register University of Oregon students.

Over the last three weeks, ASUO organized voting registration, encouraged students to update their information and delivered the registration cards to Lane County Elections. ASUO registered 4,345 students in the first two weeks of school, surpassing their goal of 2,500.

ASUO State Affairs Commissioner Emily Chan says these numbers are important and that it is crucial that voter turnout continues to increase.

“Even if the decisions aren’t affecting you, it is affecting your community,” Chan says. “[It] is a civic duty, an honor and a privilege to vote, and we forget that.”

Voter turnout for younger demographics has declined sharply in recent years, and according to the Washington Post, turnout among those from ages 18 to 29 fell 25 percentage points between 2012 and 2014. Youth Service America, a non-profit that partners with organizations to help young people engage in civic matters, says that some of the biggest barriers for registering students to vote are not understanding registration deadlines and ID requirements.

However, the Washington Post reported that college students are easier to target because they live in heavily populated campuses.

Measure 105: Immigration — the “Repeal

Sanctuary State Law Initiative” would repeal the law that forbids using state resources to apprehend anyone violating federal immigration laws. Voting yes would repeal Oregon’s sanctuary state status and would get rid of Oregon’s ‘anti-profiling’ law that was passed in 1987 by both Republicans and Democrats.

In Support: Oregonians for Immigration Reform, Gubernatorial candidate Knute Buehler, Federation for American Immigration Reform, Stop Oregon Sanctuaries In Opposition: Oregonians United Against Profiling, Nike, Columbia Sportswear Company, Oregon Governor Kate Brown, American Civil Liberties Union, Defend Oregon

Chan said she is optimistic about young voter turnout.

“People are turning out because they’re realizing that voting does matter, contrary to the popular rebuttal of, ‘my vote doesn’t make a difference,’” Chan said. “Voters hold elected officials accountable and decide on whether or not ballot measures should be new laws.”

Chan, who participated in ASUO’s “Vote or Vote” campaign, said this year’s elections are particularly important for UO students. “ is year, we’ll be electing our governor — among other representatives — but the governor in particular since they appoint UO’s Board of Trustees,” Chan said. “Our Board of Trustees helps decide how much students’ tuitions are. Also, our state legislators impact how much money the state could give our university, which is the deciding factor on how much tuition goes up.”

Freshman Sarah Mae McCullough said she did not think about changing her address when she arrived at college but wants to be able to keep her voice through voting.

“I knew that it would be a good idea to update my address but I was pleasantly surprised by how involved ASUO was in encouraging people to vote,” says McCullough. “Especially since voter turnout tends to be low among young people and voting is really important.”

Measure 106: Abortion — “Oregon Ban Public Funds for Abortions Initiative” would prevent public funds from being spent on abortions in the state of Oregon, with the exception of medical necessity or federal law requirement. Supporters are saying that it only limits what money can be used for abortions, and opposers say that it targets low-income Oregonians. Oregon is one of only 17 states that uses state money to provide abortions to women who are eligible for Medicaid.

OPINION

When people lack energy, they turn to different means of acquiring it, such as assorted energy drinks that often fill shelves at a convenience stores. (Emerald Stock)

ENERGY NOT LETHARGY: POINTERS FOR REPLACING CAFFEINE

BY ARMAND YAZDANI Today you have too much of it. Tomorrow you are drained of it. And on the most poorly timed occasions, you are rundown because you have none of it.

Energy is a significant part of people’s daily lives, and when it’s lacking, they turn to different means of acquiring it. Some will guzzle pots of coffee to feel revitalized. Others may take drugs to get a spark of life back in them.

But neither of these is necessary in maintaining or restoring energy. A plethora of natural methods of boosting energy is so accessible that everyone can enjoy the luxury of choosing how they energize themselves.

Moderate exposure to sunlight, a diet high in protein and fruits and consistent exercise will restore if not maximize energy in one’s system.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a notable source of energy.

Exposure to sunlight is an abundant source of Vitamin D. People can also reap the benefits of Vitamin D from fatty fish, beef liver, egg yolk and cheese.

A small 12-participant study by Dr. Akash Sinha suggested that Vitamin D can increase energy. e study scanned the patients to gauge their responses to exercise, which increases Vitamin D. Sinha told Newcastle University that the patients, who were all severely Vitamin D deficient, saw improvements in “muscle PA G E 1 2

efficiency when Vitamin D levels improved.”

Findings in the Archives of Internal Medicine 2009 research revealed three out of four Americans suffer from Vitamin D deficiency.

LED erapy Lights may increase Vitamin D in those who have a deficiency. Research from Scientific Reports suggested that ultraviolet LED is more efficient than sunlight itself with production of Vitamin D3 in the skin. ese lights, which are often attributed to increasing energy and fulfilling other benefits of Vitamin D such as moderating mood, can range from $40 dollars to thousands.

Exercise

An even more natural but somewhat more difficult way to get energy is exercise.

Exercise increases blood flow and releases endorphins, which ultimately increases physical energy and improves mental energy as well.

A 2016 study published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity involving elderly adults yielded highly positive results regarding exercise. When participants underwent 24 weeks of moderate aerobic exercises, they enjoyed improvements in focus and cognitive function overall. is pertains to high intensity exercise as well.

Diet

One crucial step to boosting energy levels

involves changing diet. Eating a sufficient amount of protein is especially important in avoiding being tired. Diets high in sugar and refined carbs are a surefire way to spike fatigue and have a groggy day.

After consumption of protein, it is broken down to amino acids. Roughly 75 percent of these amino acids are used for new protein synthesis. ose not used for protein synthesis are used to create neurotransmitters and increase hormones.

If high protein is a bit much for you, then certain fruits are also a rich source of energy.

Bananas provide potassium which surges energy levels and oranges increase Vitamin C, ultimately increasing energy as well.

Although you may want to solely gorge down protein or fruits, sprint to the closest gym or spend the whole day before an LED, a combination of these is the wisest decision.

A balanced approach to increasing energy is the safest approach because it allows for moderation. An excess of anything negates the benefits, so the key to maximum energy is remaining constantly aware of your decision making.

The average person’s knowledge of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis should not be “not a whole lot.”

EMMA WOLF

THE WORST HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF

BY EMMA WOLF

is piece reflects the views of Emma Wolf, and not those of Emerald Media Group. It has been edited by the Emerald for grammar and style. Send your columns or submissions about our content or campus issues to jbibeau@dailyemerald.com.

I asked two questions: what do you know about the civil war in Yemen, and how is the United States involved? e responses I got included, “Not a whole lot,” “Pretty much nothing,” “I’ve heard very little” and “I think we’re doing drone strikes there.” e humanitarian crisis in Yemen as a result of this war is astounding. According to the United Nations, at least 22.2 million people — 75 percent of the country’s population — are in need of humanitarian assistance. According the United Nations, there is a massive cholera outbreak that far surpasses the medical attention available for the sick and “severe acute malnutrition is threatening the lives of 400,000 children under the age of five.”

I asked these questions to a handful of randomly selected individuals at the Valley River Center last Friday. I myself knew nothing about the conflict until two weeks ago. e numbers from the UN paint a picture of an entire country in turmoil, sickness and devastation. So, why don’t people

know about it?

During the Arab Spring of 2011, the Yemeni people ousted then-President Saleh because of the extreme poverty characterizing the country. However, removing Saleh for President Hadi — vice president at the time — failed. e transition yielded greater suffering for the country, and Yemen divided in conflict: those loyal to the Hadi administration, and the Houthis, a group loyal to Saleh.

When the Houthis took the capital of Sanaa in 2014 and moved toward taking the rest of the country, Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia, which saw the rebels as a threat. Saudi Arabia then formed a Saudi-led coalition; this includes the United States, who assists Saudi Arabia with weapons, intelligence and logistics. e coalition attacks the Houthis, but a huge number of civilians are attacked in the process.

According to Rolling Stone, “Hospitals, schools, mosques and other non-military locations have been destroyed indiscriminately.” Decimated infrastructure and severe lack of aid workers has led to what the UN calls the “world’s worst humanitarian crisis,” with millions affected by displacement, starvation and cholera.

It’s not a mystery to the Yemeni people who is propagating these conditions. Jane Ferguson

from PBS smuggled herself into rebelcontrolled territory in Yemen, speaking to those on the front lines of violence. Dr. Ali Al Motaa said, “ e missiles that kill us, American-made. e planes that kill us, American-made. You are saying to me, where is America? America is the whole thing.” e sheer number of people dying and struggling every day in this war-torn, disease-ridden country is shocking to me, and everybody in America needs to be shocked too.

We need to wake up from the numbness we’ve developed to the relentless reporting of tragedy, step into the conflict, realize the news we receive isn’t giving us the full picture and demand more. e reality of the countless conflicts in this world is painful, but it is reality.

We should have access to knowledge on the people and places that lack news coverage in America, as well as develop a nationwide willingness to delve into those sources of knowledge.

A well-educated body of people united by a thirst for action can yield a stronger impact than a scattered group of indifferent individuals. e average person’s knowledge of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis should not be “not a whole lot.”

TAYLOR BORUP’S RISE

TO NATIONAL HONOR COMES FROM A SURPRISING PLACE

BY GABRIEL ORNELAS • TWITTER @GABE_ORNELAS At the age of 4, Taylor Borup knew that she wanted to attend the University of North Carolina after cheering for the Tar Heels during the March Madness men’s basketball tournament. She never expected to become a volleyball national player of the week, and she certainly didn’t expect to transfer to Oregon.

Taylor Borup never knew from a young age that she would be in a territory she’d never seen despite her constant travel for volleyball. She discovered that despite being so far away, she’d find a home away from home in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon became a destination that would also share her goal of reaching her highest potential and winning a national championship.

Borup was born in North Carolina and lived there until the age of 5 when her family moved to Leesburg, Virginia.

In Leesburg, she grew up on five acres of land on which in the summer she’d be seen driving a golf cart or riding on an all-terrain vehicle. But in the winter you could find her sitting on a tube as her dad pulled her through the snow in an ATV. At 9, Borup’s parents, Susan and Raymond, would drive her to Loudoun County High School volleyball matches because her favorite player, Morgan Petkovich, was the star of what would be Borup’s future high school team. Borup, a natural lefty, admired Petkovich so much that when she began crafting her volleyball skills, she taught herself to play volleyball right handed.

“If you know anything about volleyball, being left handed is such an advantage,” Susan said.

After winning her first state championship as a freshman, Borup committed to North Carolina at 14 and started her club volleyball career. Borup played for Metro Volleyball Club, which is 36 miles west of her home in Leesburg. A twohour drive every day to practice was in store for the next four years for Borup and her dad. at drive also built a bond that PA G E 1 4

lasts to this day.

“We’re super close,” Borup said. “It was really nice to have that support.”

Borup continued her stellar career at Loudoun High, becoming the first player in the state of Virginia to win four state championships and two national titles at the club level.

“It was really special because each team was so different,” Borup said. “ e fact that we could do it every time and win was special.”

In her freshman year at North Carolina, Borup played 29 matches and started seven, landing her on the ACC All-Freshman team. Her sophomore season was plagued with early-season injury, as she only played in 20 sets the entire season.

After two years at North Carolina, Borup wasn’t getting the chance she’d imagined, so it was time for a change. Despite looking at Tennessee, Ohio State and Penn State, she felt Oregon, a place she had never been too, was the team that shared the same aspirations as her.

“I wanted to reach my potential as best as I could and play with a team that had the same goal,” Borup said. at goal was to win a national championship, and Borup felt she had the best chance at Oregon.

“When Taylor decided to come here, I was shocked,” Oregon head coach Matt Ulmer said. “It said a lot about our program.”

Borup will look to lead the Ducks down the back stretch of the season with her sights set on the professional level after college; however, her parents think something different is in store for her after volleyball.

“She is obsessed with the weather,” Raymond said. “When she was about 12-13, she told without hesitation, ‘when I am 30, I will do the weather on the weather channel.’”

Borup will have plenty of time later to think about her 30s, but for now she’s focused on a daunting Pac-12 schedule.

almost 230. When Oregon stalled, Washing State was there to speed up cadence and dominate.

“We were just so out of whack in the first half,” Cristobal said.

“We just didn’t move the sticks.

A couple negative plays and a couple incomplete passes, just not exciting and being out of rhythm put us in some tough thirddown situations. … We never got it going.”

Just two seasons prior, Oregon’s last visit to Pullman during the Mark Helfrich head coach era, the Cougars outplayed the Ducks just as well.

In the game that ended 51-33 in favor of Washington State, Oregon fell behind in just as many stat lines as it did in Saturday’s game. e Ducks had 416 total yards, whereas the Cougars had 651. Oregon played through 20 first downs, as Washington State played through 36. “ ey are a really good team,” quarterback Justin Herbert said. “ ey got a great defense and a good offense. ey are really well coached. And they play passionate football.”

While this season’s Oregon team does have good promise, the loss to the Cougars will only test its validity. “ e most important thing is understanding that you got to be a grown man about this one and understand that in this conference, it’s hard against an opponent like this on the road — to start the way that we did — and expect to have success,” Cristobal said.

Facing his first upset loss as Oregon’s head coach, Cristobal will need to regroup the team in order to keep its ranking as a top-Pac-12 contender. We already know what happened to Helfrich, who was fired after a 4-8 2016 season.

PULLMAN, Wash. — Junior wide receiver Dillon Mitchell paced along the Oregon sideline as the game clock ran down, taking any and all chance Oregon had.

Mitchell sat down at the end of the team bench. He grabbed his chrome Oregon helmet with both hands and slammed it against the bench — twice.

On Oct. 13, Oregon celebrated on the field after upsetting then-ranked No. 7 Washington. ey left the field with quite a different feeling after losing to Washington State.

Even with a healthy Justin Herbert, a new coach and momentum from one of the program’s biggest wins, the No. 12 Ducks could not defeat the No. 25 Washington State Cougars in a 34-20 loss Saturday night in Pullman, Washington.

It was a loss attached to a now four-year losing streak against the Cougars.

“It was uncharacteristic of us,” Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal said. “We really did have some opportunities, but we did not come through on them.

Obviously, not the kind of football that we are used to.” e performance of the Oregon team that started Saturday’s game was something both strange and familiar.

Although it was the same roster that beat Washington last weekend, it was not the same production. Instead, it was a team that more so resembled an Oregon Duck program from the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

Washington State receivers ran through Oregon defenders quicker than Oregon could realize.

Oregon’s passes were far from the receivers and running backs were never open. First-half stat lines showed a total yardage deficit between the two teams of
