UO HEALTH CENTER WORKS TO PREVENT MEASLES OUTBREAK BY GINA SCALPONE • TWITTER @GINASCALPONE e University of Oregon Health Center implemented measles prevention systems to work with the already high vaccination rate on campus to protect students from measles after an ongoing outbreak that began in mid-January in Washington and Oregon. e outbreak began in Washington on January 18 and was quickly declared a public health emergency, with 59 confirmed cases in Clark County as of last Saturday, according to a Clark County Public Health press release. ere have also been four confirmed cases in Multnomah County, Oregon, and one confirmed case in King County, Washington, according to each county’s health department website. Incoming students at UO in 2018 had a measles vaccination rate of 96 percent as of January, said Angela Long, director of health initiatives at the health center. e rate is above the 90 to 95 percent immunization rate needed to prevent a persistent outbreak, according to National Institutes of Health studies. She said the vaccination rate is likely 96 percent across the university, but the health center started tracking vaccination rates differently in 2017, leaving only two years of data. Despite the high vaccination rate, the health center is still taking proactive measures in case the highly contagious measles makes it to Eugene. Long said they reached out to students who have either medical or personal vaccine waivers and explained the benefits of vaccination. “We have had students take us up on the offer,” she said. ey also added information about measles and the vaccine to the Health Updates section of the health center website in late January. Long and Brunader said the student vaccination rate isn’t enough to prevent measles on campus, though; what happens in the larger Eugene community also matters. Off campus, Lane County has a vaccination rate of almost 95 percent for measles, according to Jason Davis, the public information officer for Lane County Health and Human Services. He said the estimate isn’t perfect because Lane County Public Health calculates it by tracking the immunization records of school-aged children, but they don’t factor in adults and non-school-aged children. But Davis said they’re confident the rate is high enough to prevent an outbreak. Lane County Public Health reached out to schools and healthcare providers to remind them how to identify and treat measles, Davis said. ey also added language about measles and the vaccine to this year’s exclusion letter, which is sent to parents who haven’t submitted documentation for their child’s immunization records or exemptions. Davis said the Lane County health department also participates in a daily conference call to check in with the health departments in Clark County and Multnomah County where the recent measles outbreak began. Brunader, Long and Davis all stressed that anyone who believes they have measles should call a doctor or the health center before coming in to avoid exposing others to the disease. “If we have a suspected case, we’re going to be very proactive about isolating that student,” said Long. She said the health center will work with the Office of the Dean of Students to find accommodations for students if they’re suspected of having measles. Brunader also said students who haven’t been vaccinated may be asked to stay off campus if there is any risk of exposure. e Emerald is published by Emerald Media Group, Inc., the independent nonprofit media company at the University of Oregon.

“Really — unless there’s a reason you can’t — just be immunized,” said Brunader. Long and Brunader recommended that students with compromised immune systems call their doctor or the health center for more specialized support. Students who aren’t sure if they’ve been immunized can log into their UO MyHealth account and look at their immunization records. Long said they can call the health center if they still aren’t sure. e health center also offers a blood test, called a titer, to check for immunity to measles for students who believe they got the vaccine but can’t find the records, or students who are concerned that the vaccine didn’t protect them fully. But Brunader said the chances are slim for students who got both doses of the vaccine. “Measles is one of the most contagious diseases on the planet,” said Davis. According to the CDC, being in a room with a person with measles is enough to contract the disease, and the measles virus can linger in the air for up to two hours after exposure. During the recent outbreak, people were exposed in highly trafficked areas in Portland, including the Portland International Airport and a Portland Trail Blazers game at the Moda Center, according to the Oregon Health Authority website. ere are other exposure sites in Portland suburbs and Bend. Measles can cause an infection in the brain that causes swelling, as well as death for children, Davis said. But the vaccination is effective. e MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, is a two-shot series, and for those with both doses, the vaccine is 97 percent effective. Even for those who only receive the first dose, it is still 93 percent effective in protecting against the disease. “ ere’s nothing 100 percent,” said Brunader. “But I walk into the room; I’m not concerned. It’s about as good as you can get.”

IMPROVING OREGON GRADUATION RATES

A UO COLLEGE OF EDUCATION PROGRAM IS WORKING WITH HIGH SCHOOLS STATEWIDE TO ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS BY HANNAH KANIK • TWITTER @HANNAH_KANIK Roosevelt High School, located in Portland, has a population of students that has been exposed to trauma such as domestic violence that make it hard for them to focus in class. e Oregon Research Schools Network, a partnership between the University of Oregon College of Education and four Oregon high schools, including Roosevelt High, facilitates research and promotes student success at the schools. e network found that educating teachers about trauma’s effects on learning helped them bolster students’ resilience toward their traumas and was the best way to promote student success at their school. e ORSN launched one year ago and extends the resources of a research university to high schools in Oregon. e network aims to improve high school graduation rates and student behavior at Oregon schools through conducting collaborative research, offering dual credit and facilitating professional development. Oregon has one of the lowest average high school graduation rates in the country, at 77 percent, according to e Oregonian. So far, the program has signed on four schools in Oregon: North Eugene High School, Pendleton High School, Coquille High School and Roosevelt High School. e ORSN finds school-specific solutions and focuses its research on the needs presented at each school. “We really want to expand to 10 [schools] as soon as possible so we can serve more of Oregon and have more impact on Oregon high schools,” said Randy

Kamphaus, dean of the College of Education. e ORSN is funded through an anonymous $50 million donation that is expected to support the first five years of the program, according to Kamphaus. He said they are still looking for a sustainable source of funding to make this a long-term project. Kamphaus said they plan to offer internship opportunities for students at UO in the future. ese opportunities could span across campus and involve majors beyond the college of education. e ORSN places a UO faculty member, called an assistant clinical professor, at each high school for two days a week to conduct the research and work with teachers. Kamphaus said during the first year of implementation, the ORSN team has focused on setting up the structural components of the program, such as placing faculty at the schools. Now, teams are focusing on how to have the biggest impact at these schools. “ e question is, ‘How long will it take before we see impact?’” Kamphaus said. “We see some self-reported impact from teachers at this point in time, but our ultimate goal is to move some major important indicators such as high school graduation rates improving, post-secondary education rates improving as well.” e ORSN uses a unique improvement model to conduct this research, Nancy Golden, facilitator of ORSN, said. First, the ORSN team assesses the problems in each school, then they conduct research and plan a

solution. ey follow with implementing their plan and then evaluating the results. At Roosevelt High School, the ORSN team helped educate teachers on trauma-informed practices, Golden said, which spurred teachers to start a program called “I am more” to help students understand that they are more than their trauma and to promote resilience. “Teachers feel that their teaching practice, knowledge and skills have been enhanced by ORSN,” Golden said. At Coquille High School, there was a population of students that was leaving the high school to attend another school in the area, Golden said. e assistant clinical professor at Coquille High School worked with the teachers at the school to identify why this was happening and how they could promote student retention. Golden said the ORSN team helped the school gather data on this observation through exit interviews and surveys of the students leaving the high school. What they found was students were leaving because they felt the other school in the area was more engaging in the classroom, Golden said. From there, they were able to focus on ways to make their classrooms more engaging. “ is is an area where we have intellectual strength, student talent and student strength where I think we can have the greatest impact on the Oregon citizenry by improving high schools throughout the state,” Kamphaus said.

e state of Oregon’s average high school graduation rate is 77 percent, one of the lowest in the country. (Marissa Willke)

ARTS & CULTURE

AX THROWING AND ESCAPE ROOMS IN THE NEARBY SPRINGFIELD LUMBER MILL BY JACK FORREST Timothy Stemmerman traveled state to state with his wife, Jenny, following her career as he picked up odd jobs here and there. For example, Stemmerman installed an elaborate Star Wars-themed home theater for a client in Arizona. He always found a way to apply the practical skills he learned while growing up in Coos Bay, Oregon. Still, Stemmerman didn’t figure out what long-term career he wanted to pursue until Jenny forced him to try out an escape room. “I was a little apprehensive at the time,” Stemmerman said. “I didn’t know if it was going to be my thing or not. But my parents were visiting at the time, so we took my parents, my kids and went out and did one and had an absolute blast.” Stemmerman took his passion and founded the first escape rooms in Eugene, Escape Room Oregon. After this venture took off, the Stemmermans decided to expand their scopes to another trendy business model: ax throwing. Oregon Axe is a place to gather with friends where three different “lanes” are available to throw axes at a target. Beer and other beverages are available for purchase to add to the social experience. But the road to founding multiple businesses began with their first escape room.

Stemmerman said he felt the industry was missing something. All the secret doors and special, pop-up clues weren’t really surprises because of the shoddy mechanical work that left the mechanisms visible. “If something fun and cool and unique is going to happen, you shouldn’t know it’s going to happen until it happens, so we wanted to bring a level of quality into the games that just wasn’t there at the time,” Stemmerman said. “We can do this and make it so much more than what it is now.” is is how the idea for Escape Room Oregon came to be. Jenny and Timothy Stemmerman decided to take their passion for escape rooms and make it a career in December 2016. Escape Room Oregon and Oregon Axe are located next door to each other in the old Springfield Lumber Mill right off 5th Street in Springfield, Oregon. e location looks almost like a garage the BFG may park his car in. Adorning both sides of the massive overhang are what look to be a number of offices. But these spaces have been repurposed for the Stemmerman’s two businesses. Escape Room Oregon being on the second level almost right on top of Oregon Axe on the first floor. “When we were looking around,

all these strip mall-type places just weren’t unique,” Stemmerman said. “ ere wasn’t anything fun about them — and then we found out the city was leasing out these spaces, [we] came to take a look, and [the spaces] fit perfectly for what we were going for.” e eerie, rustic feel was a great fit for the mysterious escape rooms that Stemmerman wanted to construct. e old lumber mill space would later take a more literal meaning when Oregon Axe had its grand opening on Aug. 24, 2018. It was never in Stemmerman’s original plans to offer beer (they have a two-beer cutoff in the interest of keeping limbs intact) paired with the opportunity to throw an ax at a target with friends. e couple began to make friends with other escape room owners around the country and got the idea for an ax-throwing location from a friend who opened up a similar venue after her escape room venture. At the time that the Stemmermans were thinking about opening up such a location, the nearest indoor ax-throwing establishments were in Vancouver, British Columbia and San Francisco. “We drove up to Vancouver, met some friends there in Canada; there were six of us I believe, and we had

Oregon Axe, where patrons can practice their ax throwing while guzzling a drink of choice, is located at 303 S 5th Street in Springfield, Ore. (Sarah Northrop)

an absolute blast,” Stemmerman said. “It was a ton of fun.” So, the family drove back down to Eugene and decided they wanted to show the community of Eugene/Springfield how fun this idea could be — plus, according to Stemmerman, “We’re in the perfect place ever for ax throwing.” Having grown up in Oregon, the Stemmermans were blown away by the changes happening in Springfield. “ e Springfield of the past was not what we saw when we drove through looking for [buildings to rent],” Stemmerman said. “We said, ‘My gosh, downtown Springfield’s really nice.’” With the addition of many popular new restaurants and pubs like Public House and Planktown, Springfield is beginning to cater to the food- and beerloving crowd. is change in the downtown Springfield culture has helped the popularity of Oregon Axe and Escape Room Oregon, Stemmerman said. “Some cities make things very difficult. Other cities are very accommodating and work with you really great, and Springfield is one of those cities,” Stemmerman said. “If I was a person saying, ‘Hey I want to open a business somewhere,’ I would definitely recommend Springfield because they are just fantastic.”

e Academy Awards is one of the most revered and anticipated film awards ceremonies in the United States. Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science choose the nominees and winners, which are viewed as the best films and talent of the year. But its winners and nominations seldom reflect the broad range of cinema the world has to offer. e #oscarssowhite campaign brought the lack of diversity and intersectionality in the Academy Awards to the public consciousness in 2015. Created by activist April Reign through Twitter, #oscarssowhite raised awareness of the high number of white, male nominees and winners at the Academy Awards. Injustice within the award ceremony has existed since its origination. According to the database Statistica, 99 percent of Best Director winners at the Academy Awards from 1927 to 2015 were white. From 1928 to 2015, 98.9 percent of Best Actress winners and 93.2 percent of Best Actor winners were white. In 2015, the Academy made plans to double its number of women and people of color by 2020. However, a year later in 2016, 91 percent of members were white and 76 percent of members were male. While the Academy Awards has made the aforementioned efforts to increase inclusivity within its membership and nominees, they only began these actions after negative publicity. e Academy Awards has struggled with viewership as of late, with a loss of 19.83 million viewers from 2000 to 2018. e Academy Awards has a history of making drastic changes to increase viewership of the awards ceremony, such as the proposal of a most popular movie category this year, which was later rejected due to critical unpopularity. Many critics and members of the Academy, such as Laura Durn and Steven Spielberg, are uncomfortable with the inclusion of this category. is move is viewed as a ploy for more viewership of the Oscars, ignoring the quality of the content over box office numbers and possibly snubbing deserving films of a Best Picture nomination. e suggestion was scrapped for this year by the Academy due to the high number of such complaints. With the American political climate becoming increasingly intersectional through equality movements such as #timesup and #metoo, it is advantageous for the Academy Awards to embrace equality, even if their publicity doesn’t reflect their actions. e Academy Awards are also problematic conceptually. Cinema is subjective and highly biased, and producers use a variety of tactics to influence voters. Many films and filmmakers promote their material for the Academy award, sending screeners to members of the Academy. But independent films may not have the finances to promote their films to the extent of larger-budget movies. e Oscars are a financial business, rather than a creative one, from their choices in nominees to high profile hosts. Host choice has historically been an issue at the

Academy Awards. Kevin Hart recently stepped down as host from the 2019 Oscars amid controversy regarding past homophobic comments. In an interview with Ellen Degeneres, Hart became emotional, claiming that the reemergence of the tweets were meant to “destroy me” and, “this was to end all partnerships, all brand relationships, all investment opportunities, studio relationships” and so on. While Hart does apologize in the interview, he emphasizes that the tweets were from “10 years ago” and claims that no one will accept his apology. Instead of explicitly apologizing to the LGBTQIA3+ community, Hart used his platform as a paranoid self-defense mechanism. Hart consequently quit the Oscars, and this year’s Academy Awards officially has no host for the first time in 30 years. is is not the first time the Academy has chosen problematic hosts, such as 2013 host Seth MacFarlane. MacFarlane was known to make sexist and racist jabs in his television programming, so his blackface joke, song “We Saw Your Boobs” and various offensive quips throughout the ceremony should not have been a surprise to the Academy. Not only does the Oscars rarely nominate minorities in its categories, but its hosts are often in poor taste. A simple Twitter search could have revealed Hart’s homophobic comments, yet the Oscars only seems to value the maintaining of household names. ere is still hope on the horizon for the Oscars, with some encouragingly intersectional nominations this year. Best picture nominees “Black Panther” and “BlacKkKlansman” blossom with Black pride in their cast, crew and thematic message. Best picture nominees “ e Favourite” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” both include LGBTQIA3+ characters. “Roma,” tying the pack with “ e Favourite” for 10 nominations, is one of the few foreign language films to be nominated for best Best Picture and Best Foreign Language film and is most likely to win both. e film highlights the life of an indigenous Mexican woman, a subject rarely explored. And lastly, Hannah Beachler is the first African American woman

to be nominated for production design. However, much controversy abounds with the “Bohemian Rhapsody” nomination, as director Bryan Singer is accused of sexual assault. e film is also poorly critically received, with a 62 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and is factually inaccurate in its depiction of events surrounding Queen and Freddie Mercury. “Green Book” is also somewhat lackluster in its depiction of race relations, never making a concrete stand on police brutality through the basic idea that there are good and bad cops. Many of this year’s most brilliant performances and films have been snubbed, mainly due to their independent statuses. ese films have very little opportunity to promote themselves within the Academy. Independent films “Blindspotting,” “You Were Never Really Here,” “Revenge,” “Madeline’s Madeline,” “ e Rider,” “Vox Lux” and “Oh Lucy” exhibited some of the most innovative cinematic work of the decade, yet weren’t recognized. Mainstream projects “Eighth Grade,” “Widows” and “ e Tale” also received no love. Despite the lack of recognition, it has truly been a remarkable year for female actors, with the best performances of the year all contributed by women. Some excellent performances tragically ignored by the Academy include Elsie Fischer (“Eighth Grade”), Viola Davis and Elizabeth Debicki (“Widows”), Laura Dern (“ e Tale”), Maggie Gyllenhaal (“ e Kindergarden Teacher”), Natalie Portman (“Vox Lux”), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (“All About Nina”) and Regina Hall (“Support the Girls”). Daniel Kulula has also proven his incredible range this year, with scene-stealing moments in “Black Panther” and “Widows.” e Academy Award nominations prove yet again that the Oscars are simply a publicity stunt to gain recognition for the top filmmakers and actors in the industry, rather than support raw talent. While the Academy attempts to increase its diversity, the very concept of choosing films is arbitrary, due to personal bias and the objective nature of enjoyment.

OREGON DUCKS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL VS. USC

ough Drake isn’t releasing any new music at the moment, luckily for his fans, he has finally made his breakout mixtape, “So Far So Gone,” available on streaming platforms. is mixtape released back in 2009 and arguably put Drake on the map. Featuring classic hits such as “Best I Ever Had,” and “Houstatlantavegas,” this is one of those mixtapes that will conjure up a nostalgic vibe. Surely, this mixtape will also make you appreciate the growth Drake has shown over the last 10 years. After taking a listen, one will feel placed back in the era where LimeWire was still in operation and most of us were using our iPods as solely a music source. Overall, if you ever found yourself unfamiliar with Drake’s older catalog or just want to listen to something outside of mainstream play, this is something to take a look at.

NETFLIX’S “THE BREAKER UPPERS”

DEAD MEADOW

“ e Breaker Upperers” is Netflix’s newest original movie; a delightfully quirky romantic comedy from New Zealand. e film is the brainchild of Jackie van Beek and Madeleine Sami, who both star in the film as best friends who run a company that breaks up couples. But when Sami starts to develop a heavy conscience, the business and their friendship goes awry. Produced by Taika Waititi (“Hunt For the Wilderpeople,” “What We Do In the Shadows”), “ e Breaker Upperers” is not only wonderfully heartfelt and humorous, but excitingly intersectional. Rarely do we see Maori onscreen and the film is ripe with representation with queer, feminist and Indian representation. One of the best lines in the script comes from Sami after we learn she is bisexual, in which she asks Beek if she thinks Kristen Stewart is “hot.” When Beek doesn’t know who Kristen Stewart is, Sami proclaims that Beek isn’t gay. Rarely do we see bisexual or pansexual characters and this sly reference to beloved bi/pan icon Stewart is a loving sentiment to the community. e film is highly relatable for everyone, even through plot lines burdens the viewer with themes such as what it feels like to be cheated on or lose a friendship.

Washington D.C.-based stoner rock band Dead Meadow will come to Eugene for a show at Old Nick’s Pub on ursday, Feb. 21. e band’s self-titled debut, released in 2000, combines elements of fuzzy Black Sabbath riffs with hazy lo-fi production. e band continued to record throughout the decade with a consistent onslaught of heavy, acid-infused rock ‘n’ roll. Dead Meadow is now on tour for its most recent album, “ e Nothing ey Need,” released just last year. e concert will also feature Dallas Acid, a synth-based band inspired by various German experimental acts of the 1970s. e Eugenebased band Fern will open up the night with its self-described “western doom” music. e show is 21+ and will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 dollars at the door.

11 a.m. Matthew Knight Arena, 1776 E. 13th Ave.

OPINION

UO AND EUGENE: A TALE OF 2 CITIES

BY JOSEPH CAPPELLETTI • TWITTER @CAPPELLETTI7 ere are two types of Saturdays in Eugene. One exists at the Eugene Saturday Market. Cats sit on vendors’ shoulders and barefoot musicians dance on stages. Birkenstocks, tie-dye, marijuana and organic food are on every corner. e counterculture movement that once consumed Eugene in the ‘60s and ‘70s appears to be alive and well during this event that attracts 3,000 to 5,000 people every weekend. e other is found at Autzen stadium. Every game day, 54,000 fans show up to watch the Ducks. Numerous television cameras, an abundance of Nike swooshes and countless food and beverage stands all contribute to the business that made Oregon Duck football the 12th most profitable team in America between 2014-2016. Each of these places represents a different side of Eugene. With the University of Oregon continuing to grow with new projects every year, such as the $1 billion Phil and Penny Knight Campus, can these two different cultures grow together, or will the growth of one inevitably lead to the destruction of the other? Eugene Mayor Lucy Vinis, who has lived in Eugene for the last 27 years, sees the perceived cultural divide between the university and the city as more ambiguous than others may. “I believe it’s a false dichotomy,” Vinis said. “I don’t think that divide really exists because there are plenty of people who now and in the future will do scientific research at the Knight Campus and then come downtown on Saturday to buy their fruits and vegetables.” While this may be true, students and faculty spend the majority of their weekdays on campus — segregated from the rest of Eugene. When I emailed a professor about interviewing him on this subject he replied, “I spend 99 percent of my time at the university and I have no idea what the culture of Eugene is really like.” So while students and professors may interact with Eugene and its citizens during the weekends, they often act more as tourists than anything else. Vinis believes that the university and city have a mutually beneficial relationship, but she also agreed that not everyone feels this way. What defines growth and improvement in Eugene is subjective to each citizen. “Not everybody in Eugene wants to see the community grow. People would like it to stay the same scale and more or less the way it always has been,” Vinis said. “ ere is always tension around growth and change.” But as Eugene’s population continues to increase, change becomes inevitable. In 2017, the population increased by nearly 2 percent. In addition, the number of out-of-state residents coming to Eugene has jumped 18 percent since 2007, with 49.1 percent of students now coming from out of state. Mayor Vinis said that the university helps bring new businesses, employment and other resources to a growing community that needs these things. One long-time Eugene resident, Scott Landfield, owner of Tsunami Books, spoke about the changes he has seen in his 40 years in Eugene. “When I came [to Eugene], I was a part of a certain crowd of people, tens of thousands of them, who were attracted to this area for the nature, intellectual freedom and outdoor work,” said Landfield. Landfield continued, “Football had 15,000 fans, and they were the worst team in America, so that didn’t take over the culture. e most dramatic change is that football has taken over the culture.” In addition to talking about the past, Landfield said Eugene is one of the last liberal strongholds in Oregon. “ e corporatists, who are often times Republican, have this piece of land in their sights, and that includes the university. ey want control of it; they don’t like the fact that the alternative community was in control — and still is.” While President Schill may be the head of UO, the argument could be made that Phil Knight has a more substantial impact on the university’s future. Up until 2016, Phil and Penny Knight’s donations to UO had topped $2 billion. In last year’s midterm elections, Knight gave $2.5 million to Republican governor candidate Knute Buehler and an additional $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. Buehler supported ending Oregon’s decades-long standing as a sanctuary state, voted against universal gun background checks and opposed landmark climate legislation. Compared to a city that elected progressive Lucy

Vinis as mayor in 2016, this seems to be a major ideological difference. e principal donor of a university being conservative doesn’t necessarily mean that the university, or surrounding town, will become conservative. at being said, the largest individual donor to Buehler most likely has different long-term goals for the UO and Eugene than the majority of the citizens in the historically liberal Eugene do. Hilary Lord, the senior associate director for UO’s study abroad unit, Global Education Oregon, has worked at UO for 22 years while also raising a family in Eugene. Lord agreed that Eugene does have a variety of dynamics; however, she also said that isn’t always a bad thing. “I don’t think that it necessarily means that it’s not possible to coexist in the same place,” Lord said. “Every community struggles with different issues. Our community’s [struggle] might be the liberal community that may be feeling concerned about the corporatization of our campus; but that isn’t a concern that is just unique to Eugene.” Whether it’s the tech industry in Silicon Valley or Amazon Headquarters in Seattle, Lord believes that in every community, there will always be forces that cause conflict. It is up to the community to solve those issues. Cities across America have learned to survive with different cultures present; however, as money continues to pour into Eugene, I fear that it will destroy what makes Eugene different. As new stadiums are erected and billion-dollar academic facilities are built, affluent people will continue moving in. While there isn’t anything wrong with growth, in addition to driving housing prices up, the people that come with it often want to live in a clean, safe and comfortable environment. It happened in Boulder, Seattle and Jackson Hole. While Eugene may be dirty, uncomfortable and maybe even a little scary at times, it is different than any other town in America. When I decided to come to school in Eugene two years ago, I didn’t come here because I expected a clean and comfortable town. I flew across the country for experiences that I couldn’t have gotten at any other university or city in America. I hope UO and the city of Eugene can work together to ensure that both continue to grow while also preserving the culture that makes Eugene one of the best towns in America.

In Eugene, there is a perceived cultural divide between the university and the city. (Sarah Northrop)

Oregon senior forward Oti Gildon will be the first in her family to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from a four-year university. (Ben Green)

GRADUATING WITH HONORS,

SENIOR OTI GILDON LEADS ON AND OFF THE COURT BY MAGGIE VANONI • TWITTER @MAGGIE_VANONI In four months, Oregon senior Oti Gildon will graduate from the University of Oregon. She will be wearing a green robe with a matching cap, along with a yellow sash that will read “Student Athlete” on one side and “Basketball” on the other. And in the crowd, her mother, Talesha Roberson, will likely be shedding tears. Not just because her oldest child will be graduating college, but because Gildon will be the first in the family to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from a four-year university. “I’m proud. When I think of her, I just get chills,” Roberson said. “I want to cry because she’s my inspiration. Her nickname in the family is ‘Hope’ and when you look at her, that’s exactly what you see — hope.” Over the past four years, as a forward for Oregon’s women’s basketball team, Gildon has used this accomplishment to fuel her familyfocused motivation in following her basketball passion, and along the way became one of the Ducks’ leading bench scorers. “She’s a leader,” Oregon head coach Kelly Graves said. “Oti Gildons don’t come around too often. I’d take about 15 of them on every team.” ere was no doubt in Roberson’s mind that Gildon would grow up to love the sport of basketball. In fact, it was in the family blood as PA G E 1 4

both she and her siblings had played. Standing at 6-foot-1, Gildon was the first in the family to follow the passion and play competitively. “I’ve always just loved basketball,” Gildon said. “I’ve tried other sports, but I always just kept coming back to it.” In 2014, Gildon set two records when she committed to play for the Ducks. As an incoming freshman, her recruit ranking of No. 37 in the nation by ESPN Hoopgurlz was the then-highest recruit in Oregon program history. And, by committing to play collegiately, Gildon had the opportunity to become the first in her family to graduate from college. It was something she always dreamed of doing to make her family — her constant motivation — proud. “It’s awesome,” Gildon said. “It’s always good to be the first for something. … I’m a big family person. I like to make them happy and be somebody they can look up to.” Gildon is one of Oregon’s first players off the bench. She provides a powerful presence under the basket, grabbing important rebounds and securing valued layups. During her sophomore season, and so far in her senior year, she led the team in points off the bench. “Oti is the consummate student-athlete,” Graves said. “She’s a great teammate. You know,

here’s a young lady that has kinda had a lesser role so-to-speak in terms of production and stuff, but she’s just as important to our team as anybody, and everybody on our team would say the same. I’m really glad she has stuck this out. I think it shows the character that she has, and I would trust her in any moment, regardless of time, score and magnitude of the game.” Inspired by watching her daughter chase her basketball dreams, Roberson decided to go back to school and earn her bachelor’s degree in humanities at Eastern Washington University. She has watched her younger children develop the same goals because of Gildon. “She was my inspiration,” Roberson said. “[Gildon’s siblings] all look up to her. Just with her attitude and the way she displays herself, they just all really respect that.” Gildon plans on playing basketball overseas after graduating in June. She’ll be even further away from her family in Spokane, Washington. Gildon’s decision couldn’t be more of a motivation to her mom, who is already working on getting a passport. “Her smile and her award-winning attitude, she’s just one of a kind,” Roberson said. “People know looking at her, that all things are possible with hard work and dedication. And that’s something that’s always built up [in her].”
