NEWS UOPD’S VACATION WATCH WINTER BREAK TRIAL IS A ‘BIG SUCCESS’

is past winter break, the University of Oregon Police Department launched a new program to prevent break-ins and theft. (Sarah Northrop)

BY EMILY MATLOCK • TWITTER @EMILYD_MATLOCK When fall term finals came to an end, many students at the University of Oregon prepared to leave their apartments and houses near campus to travel or return home for the holidays. For the duration of the month-long break, many student residences were left unattended and vulnerable to break-ins and theft. is past winter break, however, the University of Oregon Police Department launched a new, free program called Vacation Watch to combat the issue. Students could sign up online or in person at the police department by giving their names, addresses and contact information. e questionnaire also asked for the dates the residence will be unattended and what types of security measures the houses have. With this information, mainly community service officers and student security assistants

conducted daily patrols around studentpopulated neighborhoods. In addition to vehicle patrols, officers checked the doors and windows of residences to make sure they were locked and showed no signs of unauthorized entry or vandalism. ey would also make sure no packages were left on doorsteps. e police department created the program in an attempt to reduce the number of breakin attempts that occur over the break when residences are empty. ough the program couldn’t guarantee security, UOPD hoped the presence would deter criminals, the Emerald reported before the program launched. According to UOPD spokesperson Kelly McIver, 283 students signed up for the program, with the largest number of students living in the west university area. e additional patrols proved successful, as officers were able to

A NEWS

e City of Eugene proposed to raise parking prices around campus. (Sarah Northrop)

CITY PROPOSES CAMPUS PARKING RATE INCREASE BY DONNY MORRISON e city of Eugene released a proposal that would raise parking prices around campus from $1.80 to $2 an hour. According to the proposal issued by Eugene City Manager Jon Ruiz, the 11 percent increase would take effect on Feb. 1. e rest of the city would also receive a 15-cent raise, going from $1.20 to $1.35 an hour. Also potentially increasing are the various monthly parking passes available to community members living in the downtown or campus area. Jeff Petry, parking and services manager for the city of Eugene, says that it’s been over three years since parking prices were last raised. “It doesn’t happen annually. It’s usually every three to five years,” he said. According to Petry, the parking meters around the University of Oregon campus are already more expensive than anywhere else in the city. is is because of the high demand for parking around campus and also to encourage active transportation options for students, such as walking or cycling. “We know that students that live near the

university will choose to walk or bike if there are meters around campus” he said. Petry also confirmed that more parking tickets are given in the streets surrounding campus than anywhere else in the city. “It’s a small life lesson. It’s a learning opportunity. Nobody likes them, but it’s a way to remind people that there are rules to follow,” Petry said. UO junior Lucy Neubeck drives to school every day she has class, and last term she received three parking tickets. Neubeck says the risk of getting ticketed is better than paying full price for a university parking pass. “For low income college students, getting a parking pass is out of the question,” Neubeck said. “And if you want to park even a little close, you have to pay the meter. ere’s no other option.” In the past, Neubeck has bought a parking pass only to find that there still weren’t parking spots available. “If I’m not at school by 8 a.m., I won’t find a parking spot closer than 15 or 20 minutes away,” Neubeck said. “Not everybody has that kind of time

in the morning.” While walking or biking to school would be preferred, Neubeck doesn’t always have the time for alternative transportation every morning. “I would 100 percent bike or bus to campus,” Neubeck said. “But I have a job and an internship in Springfield and I have to be at class right after. I need to drive in order to make it on time to everything.” In the past, profits collected from parking meters and the monthly parking permits have been used to pay for updated infrastructure, police services and parking garages. Unique to Eugene is the use of parking meter money to help fund events and city art exhibits, such as the 20X21 Mural Project. “We fund a lot of events,” Petry said. “Like Sunday Streets or Lineup Downtown. We’re one of the only groups in North America that has a parking reinvestment program that focuses on community events.” Petry encourages community members to comment on the proposal. Comments and suggestions will be accepted through Friday, Jan. 18.

VIRALFEST PUTS THE SPOTLIGHT ON UNDERGROUND WEST COAST HIP-HOP BY NIC CASTILLON

On Friday, Jan. 11, the WOW Hall will host the first ever ViralFest, with a stacked lineup featuring notable names from the Bay Area and Portland hip-hop scenes. California-based rapper Nef Da Pharaoh is set to headline the two-set mini festival alongside Portland’s own S.Loyal. e event will unite a number of friends and collaborators, representing sounds from across the West Coast underground. Back in 2015, Nef Da Pharaoh — originally born in Vallejo, California — made waves in the Bay Area hip-hop scene with his breakout single, “Big Tymin’.” He later went on to work with the fellow Vallejo native and hip-hop legend E-40 and the two have since maintained something of a mentor-student relationship. In 2016, Nef Da Pharaoh provided a guest verse alongside DRAM on the E-40 single “Slappin.” But more recently, the artist has built upon his regional hype with a well-received debut album, “ e Big Chang eory,” released in August of last year. On this project, Nef Da Pharaoh stays true to the sound of his hometown roots, rapping over a collection of snappy instrumentals with lyrics that are both party driven and socially conscious. On the album’s reverent closer, “ at Was God,” Nef Da Pharaoh gives thanks for the life of his friends and the birth of his child. “Big Boss Chang” shifts away from that focus. e artist turns up the volume and makes reference to his own nickname, “Chang Chang” — derived from the sound of his heavy jewelry clanging together. Portland-based S.Loyal — short for Sir Loyalty — shares in this Bay Area sound. Back in 2017, he released his debut full-length project, entitled “New Prophet,” with a mix of gangsta rap sounds and airy trap beats. He has supported E-40 on tour and has collaborated with the pioneering West Coast rapper Too $hort on the song “Viral” — the single from which ViralFest takes its name. Oregon rapper FLIBOIMOE will also make an appearance. e artist’s most recent project, “ e Moe EP,” draws upon bling-era beats of the

2000s. His hazy party single “Pop Off” features a verse from contemporary Sacramento-based rapper OMB Peezy. A fellow Portland artist, DJ Fatboy, is set to host the event. In the past, DJ Fatboy has worked with artists such as E-40 and Berner. A number of fresh faces and up-and-coming artists will open up the night, with music varying between pop-oriented sounds and trap-focused bangers. Artists to look out for include SAS NBL, JR Patton, 98prynce, Dris & Love, D Boi, Fetti

Mac and King Nas. Beyond the music, ViralFest will also offer a variety of pop up shops from relevant businesses and vendors. Trap Kitchen, a catering service from Compton with a permanent location in Portland, will be present alongside Black Mannequin, a Portland-based startup clothing brand. e event is open to all ages. Doors open at 7 p.m. First set begins and 8 p.m. and the second set begins at 9:35 p.m.

7 ENTERTAINMENT SANTERO Y MEXICANO: GRAFFITI ART BY DANI ROSALES

Sergio B. Sanchez refers to street art, particularly Chicano art, as “something rich and crazy.” Sanchez’s collection, “Santanero Y Mexicano,” is on display in the Adell McMillan Gallery in the EMU. (Marissa Willke)

experimenting with 3D art, and in high school he developed his current style: old school, freestyle lettering and Chicanoinspired images. “Art like this is almost always criminalized,” he said. “It’s not looked at in the same way European art is looked at.” Sanchez never thought his work would turn out to be anything until others around him started noticing it. For Sanchez, graffiti is a way to represent his culture and people. His art highlights the struggle, the pride and the love that come out of his community. Sanchez said he hopes the gallery opens the doors for other graffiti artists to let them see their art in museums and galleries too. But more importantly, he wants to inspire people who look like him and come from a similar background to pursue their passions and see the value of their work. “ ey don’t let you know that things like this are possible for kids or for people from where I’m from,” Sanchez said. “ ey want to keep you at a certain place where they don’t want to let you to pass.” He has no formal art training or interest in receiving it. For him, his art is about emotion and not about being technically perfect. Sanchez doesn’t want his art to follow the norm; he wants to do his own thing. “My art can’t be taught in a classroom. My art is learned on the street, through struggle, through experiences,” he said. “ ese are my experiences.”

In middle school, Sergio B. Sanchez was caught searching for pictures of graffiti on the school computer. He had a few markers in his backpack and a stack of paper with his graffiti on it. He was sent to the principal’s office, suspended for two weeks, put on probation and the principal threatened to call the police. e principal told Sanchez to take a real art class because, with graffiti, he would never amount to anything. Sanchez never took that “real” art class. Now a UO junior, Sanchez opened his exhibit “Santanero y Mexicano” in the EMU Adell McMillan Gallery on Jan. 7. e exhibit features graffiti art pieces inspired by Sanchez’s identity as a Chicano from Santa Ana, California — commonly referred to as Santanero. All but one of the pieces in the collection were made for the gallery. He decided to include a piece he created in high school to give a nod to his beginnings. Sanchez began experimenting with graffiti at a young age after watching his older brother do bubble and block letters on their cabinets at home. In elementary school, Sanchez sold his graffiti to other students as a side hustle. But in middle school, graffiti was prohibited because it was associated with gang-related activities. Despite the misconceptions associated with the art form, Sanchez kept pursuing it. roughout middle school, he began

COUNTING CALORIES ON CAMPUS BY JACK FORREST At the start of every new year, Americans convince themselves it’s time to diet. Whether that be following some obscure plan that only allows wheat grass and oxygen, or a strict workout regimen, the effort rarely lasts longer than a few weeks. University of Oregon students are not immune to this fad, so the Emerald decided to offer its help in making the process a little more simple and to maybe, just maybe, help students maintain their New Year’s resolutions a little bit longer. Here is a guide to the leanest and meanest foods at the EMU.

Starbucks While Starbucks is better known for its drinks, some of the food options are actually delicious and surprisingly filling. e options that don’t come out of that green straw mostly consist of pastries, cookies and cakes — but there are also a number of healthy options.

Chipotle Chipotle has a bad rap for being an unhealthy chain restaurant; however, with all the choices Chipotle offers, it is possible to construct a reasonably healthy meal. e key at this restaurant is to choose your portions carefully. With the power to choose all ingredients at the point of a finger, there’s no reason to go overboard on the unhealthy stuff.

W

Cheesy Carnitas Burrito 1,485 Calories

One scoop white rice, one scoop black beans, one serving of carnitas, one scoop of cheese, one scoop of sour cream, one scoop of queso, romaine lettuce, one scoop of guacamole and tomatillo red chili salsa. is burrito tastes fantastic, but all the trimmings like cheese, sour cream and queso really add up.

Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon & Cage Free Egg White Breakfast Sandwich - 210 Calories

is sandwich is filling and actually tastes good while keeping the fat content under 5 grams. e sandwich also contains 18 grams of protein, so it’s a great option for those trying to build muscle in 2019.

X

Spicy Chorizo, Monterey Cheese and Egg Breakfast Sandwich - 500 Calories

is option doesn’t necessarily break the calorie bank; however, it does have 30 grams of fat, which is better avoided if possible.

Steak Burrito Bowl - 450 Calories

One serving of steak, one scoop of black beans, one serving of fajita vegetables, pico de gallo, lettuce and a half serving of guacamole. is meal might as well be a salad, but it’s filling, and you’re getting most of those Chipotle flavors you’ve come to love.

X

W

Subway Known for being the self-proclaimed weight loss professionals, Subway claims to be the place to help someone slim down. But Subway is also the home to an endless list of fatty sauces and cheeses. Like Chipotle, this restaurant is all about choices, which means it is important to exercise your freedom with intention.

W

Footlong Turkey Breast Sandwich with Honey Mustard - 530 Calories

Order this sandwich straight from the menu and then ask for the honey mustard at the end. Trust the sandwich makers. is sandwich has the filling meat, soft bread and all the veggie trimmings, but keeps that calorie count low. By adding the honey mustard to this sandwich, the dry combination of ingredients Subway wanted you to order is now a little more exciting with that sweet flavor.

X

Chicken and Bacon Ranch Melt 1,080 Calories

Usually the words “bacon,” “ranch” and “melt” used together mean what you are eating is most likely going to be bad for overall health. is instance is no exception. Say no to the fatty bacon, excess cheese and ranch dressing. You want to live past age 40, don’t you? Patrons line up in front of Chipotle in the EMU fishbowl during the lunch rush. (Connor Cox)

Falling Sky Brewing Pizzeria

Jamba Juice Smoothies are a sneaky affair. ey consist of almost exclusively fruit, which is seen as healthy food, but sometimes juices and sorbets are added. When this happens, an unhealthy amount of sugar and calories take over. Jamba Juice offers a wide array of smoothies that consist of these unhealthy mixtures, but they also carry drinks that include exclusively healthy ingredients as well.

W

Peach Perfection (16 oz) - 210 Calories

is smoothie tastes great and is on the lower end of the menu with respect to calories and sugar content (42 grams). It has that sweet, fruity and refreshing taste while cutting out all the unnecessary sugar additives.

X

Strawberry Surf Rider (power size) 640 Calories

is deliciously tart smoothie is a no-go on those irsty ursday power size deals. With 139 grams of sugar, the Strawberry Surf Rider has over four times the recommended sugar intake for the entire day, according to the World Health Organization. Steer clear of the power size drinks at Jamba Juice — no matter how thirsty you are.

Falling Sky’s third location is located inside the EMU, serving up beer on campus along with gourmet pizza and salads in a sit-down-style restaurant. Traditionally, beer and pizza isn’t the ideal weight loss regimen, but with the introduction of salads and sandwiches, Falling Sky offers a doable option for those joining a friend for a slice and a pint.

W

Kale Ceasar! With the Dressing on the Side

Contrary to the name, this caesar salad won’t stab you in the back. By using kale instead of romaine lettuce, and roasted portobello mushrooms instead of meat, this caesar is setting you up for health success. e only downside is the typically unhealthy caesar dressing; however, this issue can be easily fixed by getting the dressing on the side so you can make the choice of how much needs to be poured on.

X

Pepperoni Pizza by the Slice

Falling Sky offers a pepperoni option that stays on the menu constantly as part of their rotating menu of pizzas by the slice. is option is loaded with greasy pepperoni pieces on top of the already fatty cheese pizza. is oversized pizza slice is a no-go for those trying to avoid the excess fat this season.

Panda Express Panda Express is another one of those places that has a bad rap but actually can be a good option when the right choices are made. e restaurant leaves a lot of room for customization and has a wide array of meat, vegetable and base options.

W

String Bean Chicken Breast with Brown Steamed Rice - 620 Calories

is is a great option for those looking for a heartier meal. e brown steamed rice offers more fiber and less sodium than the steamed white rice option so those 420 calories won’t go to waste. e string bean chicken gives that necessary and satisfying protein to keep the day going at only 190 calories.

X

Orange Chicken with Chow Mein 1,000 Calories

Orange chicken is one of the most popular dishes at Panda Express for good reason: It’s fried chicken tossed in a tangy, sweet orange sauce. Sadly, the orange chicken isn’t the best option when trying to slim down. Paired with the 510 calorie chow mein, this meal pairing is better left on the wok — even if you do eat the little pieces of lettuce in the chow mein that we all know you eat around.

Joe’s Burgers Burgers are rarely a great option when trying to focus on making healthy decisions. ey are hard to turn down. Luckily for UO students, Joe’s offers a number of healthy, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options for those days when a burger just sounds too good.

W

Lettuce Wrap Turkey Burger

e turkey burger is just that, a patty made of ground turkey, topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato and sauce, packed into the leaf of lettuce. is burger substitute isn’t going to be named “healthiest food” any time soon, but it does cut down on the fat in a beef burger and the calories and carbs that are in an enriched, white burger bun. is is a great option when you need to indulge but don’t want to ruin all the work you’ve put in.

X

Cowboy Joe

is burger is topped with bacon, BBQ sauce, onion rings and American cheese, making this burger one fatfilled meal. If something sounds like a stomach ache, it should be avoided.

OPINION

WHAT CHIVALRY LOOKS LIKE

IN 2019

BY JOANNA MANN • TWITTER @JOANNAMANNDANCE

Chivalry is dying. But who is killing it? e term “chivalry” dates back to the 12th century when knights were instructed on whom they could kill and whom should be shown mercy. e idea resurfaced in the 18th and 19th centuries in terms of war and the glory one has in fighting for their country. And finally, we arrive at the definition we all know chivalry to have today — how men should treat women, especially in terms of romantic relationships. But today, with all this talk of equality and women’s rights, we should take the term “chivalry” in a whole new direction. Instead of limiting the definition of chivalry to how men treat women, it should really just be how humans treat one another. If you break it down and look at the history of the term, chivalry is just courtesy, generosity and valor. ese concepts apply to more than just how men treat women in romantic

relationships. Chivalry also applies to how friends, family members and strangers act toward one another. If you see someone in the grocery store paying for a homeless man’s groceries, that person is being chivalrous. When a child decides to help out a sibling with their chores for a day, chivalry is at work. And get this — when a woman pays for her date’s meal or opens the car door for them, she is being chivalrous. e term is not as one-sided as we think it is. So why is chivalry dying? People, especially men, are showing less and less chivalry to women as feminist movements slowly start to gain followers and widespread support. e main reason for this is that men do not know how their traditional ways of showing courtesy will be interpreted. If a man carries a woman’s bags, it could possibly be misinterpreted that he thinks

of her as weak. If he pays for her meal, that might mean he thinks she does not make her own money. But while some people overthink kind gestures and take them the wrong way, many people still appreciate an altruistic act. Not only that, they are more inclined to return the favor at some point, too. It is not uncommon to hear that feminism killed romance or that feminism killed chivalry. is, in fact, is far from the truth; feminism’s overarching goal is simply to achieve equality between sexes. Chivalry, otherwise known as human courtesy, was not killed by feminism. It was killed by the misconception that chivalry equals sexism, and the idea that women are offended by men doing them favors. Chivalry is just a generous way to show your loved one, or anyone, that you care about them. Let’s bring it back.

SUING FORMER HEAD COACH WILLIE TAGGART BY JACK BUTLER • TWITTER @BUTLER917

Former Oregon football offensive lineman Doug Brenner is suing the University of Oregon, the NCAA, former head coach Willie Taggart and former strength coach Irele Oderinde for “abusive” offseason workouts that caused Brenner to be hospitalized for rhabdomyolysis in January 2017. Brenner is seeking $11.5 million in damages for past and present severe injuries, shortening his life span by upwards of 10 years and an increased risk for kidney disease or failure, among other issues, according to the lawsuit. Rhabdomyolysis is “an acute clinical syndrome of major muscle breakdown and leakage into the bloodstream of muscle contents,” according to the NCAA. e lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in Multnomah County and initially reported by e Oregonian/ OregonLive, claims that the defendants failed to adequately manage the workouts. Current Ducks tight end Cameron McCormick and offensive lineman Sam Poutasi were also hospitalized but are not involved in the lawsuit. When e Oregonian/OregonLive broke the news that three players were hospitalized, the workouts were described as “akin to basic military training,” which Taggart disputed. According to Brenner’s lawsuit, “Taggart and Oderinde planned to subject the student-athletes to an extreme physical regimen on the first day back from winter break as part of the coaches’ efforts to, in

Taggart’s words, ‘find the snakes in the grass and cut their heads off.’” e first day of four days of early-morning workouts consisted of dividing the team into groups and making them do “perfect” push-ups in unison, which according to the lawsuit, Oderinde admitted was not possible. e players were then subject to “up-downs” and more push-ups when they went out of unison. e lawsuit also states they did not make water available on the first day of workouts. e lawsuit states “over the course of several days, student-athletes vomited, passed out, or collapsed during the workouts.” It also states that when Oderinde was approached about shoulder pain by one of the players, he yelled, “I don’t give a fuck about your shoulders. Do you think Stanford gives a fuck about your shoulders?” Following the report of the workouts and hospitalization, UO suspended Oderinde for a month without pay and apologized to the three players. “As the head football coach, I hold myself responsible for all of our football-related activities and the safety of our students must come first,” Taggart said in a news release following the suspension. “Defendants Taggart and Oderinde knew, or had reason to know of the type of severe consequences that could result from the exercise drill, and knowingly conducted the exercise drill

with conscious disregard to the detrimental health consequences for the student-athletes,” the lawsuit states. Taggart later left Oregon to become the head coach at Florida State. Oderinde joined him at Florida State. e lawsuit claims that the UO failed to adequately regulate and supervise the workouts. It also states that the NCAA has failed to assist in similar situations throughout college football. “ e well-being and safety of our students are our top priorities at the University of Oregon,” Unverisity spokesperson Molly Blancett said. “We have been advised of the litigation filed today but have not been served a copy of the complaint, at which point we will respond appropriately in the court proceedings. In light of the pending litigation, we don’t have any additional comment at this time.” “A key goal of this lawsuit is to force the NCAA to ban these kinds of punishing, abusive workouts. ese workouts are contrary to NCAA guidelines for protecting players from injury and death,” attorney Mark McDougal said in a statement. As for Brenner, he said in a statement: “Nothing would make me happier than to have this case save other football players from serious injury.” is post has been updated to include a comment from the UO. e Emerald will continue to report on this story as more information becomes available.
