NATIVE AMERICAN KIDS THROUGH SPORTS

BY EMILY MATLOCK • TWITTER @EMILYD_MATLOCK “Did everyone have fun today?” Asked Maggie Bidasolo, a sophomore sports business major and executive co-director of Youth Movement. It was the end of a long day of playing outside at Papé Field, PK Park and Autzen Stadium.

She was addressing a crowd of kids gathered around her, who unanimously answered with a resounding “Yeah!” e day was over and though the kids seemed tired, they were still smiling and boisterous as they awaited awards.

About 300 kids came from Native American communities across Oregon, Southwest Washington and California to the University of Oregon on Friday for a field day. Youth Movement, the non-profit organization that hosted the field day, aims to unite young Native Americans to build community and encourage healthy living through sports.

“Our Youth Movement is built on three pillars: sport, education and community,” Bidasolo said.

Along with the sports activities, the field day promoted education through language learning, nutrition and art stations while encouraging leadership and sportsmanship, she said. e organization was started by UO alumnus Jesse Schwarz, now a Nike content strategy manager, in 2012 while he was in the Warsaw Sports Business Club.

Eight years ago, then-sophomore Schwarz was an ethnic studies major who had recently switched from the sports business major at UO. He was inspired when Sam McCracken, founder of the Nike N7 initiative that connects Native American kids with Nike gear to promote healthy living, spoke at a club meeting. He sent McCracken an email with seven ideas of how to expand the organization’s impact and his idea for a field day stuck. Nike N7 is a co-sponsor for the organization.

“I still wanted to work with sports but my focus was really around the power of sport and the transcending ability for sport to change lives, whether it’s through the influence that professional sports has on society or the influence that participating in sports has on society,” Schwarz said.

Youth Movement offers an opportunity for Native American kids to step outside their comfort zones for a day, meet other kids their age and learn about the university. Over the years, it has grown to host events at universities across the country. e kids, ranging from fifth through eighth graders, began their day at the Many Nations Longhouse on campus, then walked to the EMU Amphitheater for a discussion about the flags surrounding it – each represents one of the nine federally recognized

Oregon tribes. “ is is kind of the first opportunity that I saw for Native kids to be represented and celebrated within a community of other Native kids. at goes a long way in my eyes,” said Ryan Vidales, a freshman public relations student and social media coordinator for Youth Movement.

“Seeing a marginalized group and really telling these kids that anything is possible, that you can get out of your comfort zone, coming to the University of Oregon and getting an education is a possibility,” he said. “I think it’s a really big deal.”

From the EMU, the kids left for PK Park. At the baseball field, a number of stations were set up that the groups rotated through, including kickball, capture the flag and nutrition stations.

At lunch, the kids were provided a healthy meal while they heard from guest speakers Schwarz and McCracken. ey relaxed in the bleachers at PK Park until they moved on to their next locations: Autzen Stadium and Papé Field.

In the next set of stations, the field day included

traditional Native American sports like shinny, a field hockey game similar to lacrosse originally played by Native people. ere was also an art station where kids created buttons and traditional medicine bags. e Native American Student Union worked with Youth Movement to create a cultural insights team and ensure the activities were culturally appropriate.

“I think at this event, we’re all in college and working to give back to our Native community,” said Allyson Alvarado, a NASU member and Youth Movement volunteer.

At the end of the day, spirit awards were given to kids who showed leadership, sportsmanship, teamwork and spirit throughout the day and all of the participants received prizes. “ is has been one of the craziest days I think I’ve ever experienced but it’s absolutely incredible,” said Bidasolo. “I wouldn’t change any of this for the joy I’m experiencing today and the lives that we’re impacting.”

One of the activities held at the Youth Movement event on May 3, 2019 is a traditional Native American game called shinny. (Marissa Willke)

UO FACULTY UPSET

BY LACK OF COMMUNICATION WITH ACCREDITATION CHANGES

BY HANNAH KANIK• TWITTER @HANNAH_KANIK

e University of Oregon’s accreditor is making changes to its eligibility requirements, standards for accreditation and policies as part of an on-going self-reflection and its five-year review with the U.S. Department of Education.

However, Chuck Triplett, UO administrator and accreditation liaison officer, did not tell the University of Oregon community that these changes were coming or that they could make recommendations to the policies. e current draft shortens definitions of academic freedom and shared governance and could affect the school’s ability to receive federal research grants if the draft doesn’t change. e university’s accreditor, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, contacted the institutions it accredits and asked them to provide input and public comment during the 16-month revision process, NWCCU President Sonny Ramaswamy said. e final draft is scheduled to be voted on by each university’s president in August 2019 and implemented in early 2020.

Accreditation is a voluntary process that recognizes and verifies universities for their quality and subsequently makes them eligible for federal financial aid.

Triplett received an email from the accreditors on Dec. 3, 2018 outlining the public comment period and two online town halls to provide input. He did not tell faculty that the changes were happening or that there was opportunity for public comment.

“Our expectation is that our accreditor liaison officer representative was going to be engaging their faculty, staff and students and bring in that information to us,” Ramaswamy said.

Concerns over the current draft of the policies — including moving and shortening academic freedom and shared governance from standards of accreditation to eligibility requirements — caused UO Provost Jaynath Banavar and Senate President Bill Harbaugh to send in

“OUR EXPECTATION IS THAT OUR ACCREDITOR LIAISON OFFICER REPRESENTATIVE WAS GOING TO BE ENGAGING THEIR FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS AND BRING IN THAT INFORMATION TO US.”

Standards of accreditation are the items that are continuously checked throughout the time the institution is accredited. “ e agencies that fund that research insist that the people who get the funding have the freedom to investigate and write what they want,” Harbaugh said. “For [the NWCCU] to take away that accreditation policy could be a problem for getting that federal funding.”

Ramaswamy said moving the academic freedom language into the eligibility requirements instead of the standards of accreditation embeds it into a more purposeful category.

“We want to make sure that the faculty and the students and everybody at the university is able to speak freely about political matters in the country, in the world and also at the university,” Harbaugh said.

“Without a requirement that the university has policies to protect that kind of freedom, it’s unclear what will happen.”

Shared governance Shared governance in higher education accounts for the chain of command between governing groups at the university.

Under the current policy, faculty has control of the grading and designing of courses. However, under the proposed changes, the language is weakened and does not define each aspect of the original policy.

“We are concerned about the minimal references to the importance of faculty in sharing the governance responsibilities for institutions, and the reduced voice given to students in decision-making and processes in the proposed standards,” according to the provost’s letter.

“It’s not surprising that [the NWCCU] tried to take out the academic freedom language and tried to weaken shared governance and that they tried to weaken faculty control of the curriculum – there were no faculty involved,” Harbaugh said. “ ey should admit that and start the process over.”

UO Alumni share career lessons they’ve learned

Job Title: Rural Family Physician at Orchid Health Major: Human Physiology Graduated: Bachelor of Science, 2010 Joseph Volpi came from a military family, so serving in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear engineer felt like the natural choice when it came to paying for his education. While he found the science to be fascinating, he admitted that he was not passionate about the job. Later at the University of Oregon, he discovered that he cared about science and people the most. In his sophomore year, Joe switched from biology to human physiology setting him on a career path that has led to his present position as a rural family physician.

What skills do you think are necessary for effectively networking?

Students can start by reaching out to the UO Student Alumni Association. You can also work with your advisors and go to the Career Center. It may feel like you’re hunting for a job, but now that I’m on the alumni board and on the professional side, I see there are ways to get students plugged into networks. One of the biggest pieces of advice I give now is to look outside your immediate network, because a lot of people tend to silo themselves.

Do you think interdisciplinary skills are necessary for networking?

Yes, absolutely. In medicine, there are a lot of doctors who were art majors, and their perspectives can be so “outside the box,” but are so valuable. Learning from other people doesn’t mean you have to learn the nitty gritty details of their field, but it does give you a unique perspective that makes you stand out from the crowd.

What would you say to someone who is struggling to find the job they want?

If they’re struggling, I would say the first thing to do is more self-reflection. Are they open to all the available opportunities that they find? Most individuals are not going to stick with their very first job forever: you find parts that you like, and parts that you don’t. At some point, you’re ready to switch jobs, and that’s how you get closer to the job you want. At the beginning of your career, you need to be more open to what may be that first job.

ARTS & CULTURE Artists contribute zines, stickers, posters and other art to the UO Zine Fest.

(Marissa Willke)

UO ZINE FEST HOSTS VARIETY OF INDEPENDENT ARTISTS

BY NIC CASTILLON

is year, the University of Oregon Zine Fest brought together artists from UO and the Eugene community to celebrate independent publishing and art for the third year in a row. e festival has grown over the last few years to include artists with many different preferred creative media and platforms.

Photography, prose, poetry and sketching are some of the many ways artists chose to express themselves this year. e goal of the Zine Fest is to celebrate one art form in particular: zines. Short for magazine, zines are independently published collections of art — usually produced on photocopiers and distributed by the artist. Many portray different themes, such as nature, cartoons, mental health and cultural representation.

“For me, zines are about the publication. Mine are always creative representation of my culture and my childhood; it’s a way of personal expression,” said Teddy Tsai, artist and designer of this year’s promotional poster.

Zines first became popular in the 1930s and have continued to hold their popularity over the years

due to the ever-changing style and contents. eir popularity also grew with the increased accessibility of production and the absence of content rules. “[Zines] are just an easy way to get quick ideas out in the world,” artist Tessa Plumb said. “A zine can really be anything you want it to be.”

UO Zine Fest allows artists to set up a booth and show off their work. is year they hosted 51 different creators. e groups came to not only display their work, but sell their own zines, prints, stickers, pins and paintings.

Izzy Cho, this year’s first-time Zine Fest director, has been involved since the very beginning of the event. “I know it sounds cheesy, but this event is so cool because the art is relevant and it brings people together from all different backgrounds and places,” she said. In bringing together artists from UO and the community, Zine Fest has created a platform to allow artists to express themselves and their work.

Tables filled the entire room with brightly colored artwork, detailed drawings, vibrant photography, different forms of writing and so much selfexpression. e Crater Lake North room in the EMU

was packed with people coming to appreciate the artists’ work and purchase their own copies of zines.

Many even left with handfuls of different artwork and memorabilia from the event. While this is just the third year of Zine Fest, it is already quite popular within the community and attracted many people to get involved and appreciate the creativity.

Zine Fest is run entirely by student volunteers who are passionate about the work and the zine community on and off campus. e festival also provided a photo booth with a backdrop that had pink and yellow shapes and a brightly colored jellyfish for anyone to take portraits, and a workshop for those coming to explore the festival to get in tune with their own creative side.

UO Zine Fest always takes place in the middle of spring term and artists of all backgrounds can submit their artwork for a chance to be included in the festival each year.

“I love it because I get to see the artists interact with each other and see this community come to life,” Cho said. “Even if you don’t know what zines are, you can come and be a part of it and understand it.”

. COVER Natural gas is cleaner than burning coal or oil, but it emits methane, a greenhouse gas that is 84-times stronger than CO2. (Maddie Knight)

AFTER A SLOWING MOMENTUM,

UO IS ADJUSTINGS ITS CARBON CUTTING PLAN

BY BECKY HOAG In 2007, former University of Oregon President David Frohnmayer signed the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment, along with what is now over 650 U.S. colleges and universities, pledging to set goals to move toward net zero greenhouse gas emissions, the main cause of climate change. It was from this that the 2010 Climate Action Plan was born. e CAP laid out a plan to reduce UO’s emissions to zero by 2050. e university is now only a year away from its 2020 checkpoint: 10 percent less than the estimated 1990 levels. But the 1990 levels were an educated guess of what emissions were back then, and without any actual data to support this, comparing real measurements to this hypothetical proved problematic. e university will release an updated action plan on Friday, which will use the actual 2010 emissions number as the baseline instead.

“Basically, the Climate Action Plan was based on metrics that were unattainable and not enough information existed to really benchmark against them accurately,” said Taylor McHolm, director of the Student Sustainability Center. “So it called to reduce emissions based on 1990 levels, but the university just doesn’t have data from 1990.”

As for more recent years recorded, Second Nature — a site UO and other universities reported emissions levels to — showed a drastic increase in emissions in PA G E 8

2013. Since 2011, though, UO reported to both Second Nature and Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Ranking System and soon found it was redundant to report to both sites. So after 2014, the university dropped off Second Nature’s radar.

It’s hard to say definitively how 2018 compares to 2014, but STARS records on UO show a substantial drop in emissions from 2014 to 2017. It’s unclear what caused this drop specifically.

Director of Sustainability Steve Mital — who supervised the original CAP’s creation — said that CAP has made tangible changes to the university’s emissions trajectories. After the plan was implemented, the university moved to establish the Oregon Model for Sustainable Development in 2011. e model required all new construction to be built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold Certification standards, which reduces buildings’ GHG emissions by at least 35 percent. OMSD also stated that old buildings must reduce energy consumption to make up for any new energy created by new buildings.

Mital also said that the spike in emissions around 2013 was an anomaly and that since then, the emissions levels have dropped back down to 2010 levels, despite the university building about 20 percent more facilities since then. So even though UO isn’t in line to hit the original 2020 goal, the university

has spent a lot of money to increase the campus’s sustainable development.

“When you translate that into dollars spent, it’s in the millions,” Mital said.

Additionally, Mital said that most universities redraft their climate action plans in a ten-year cycle.

Due to a student push, UO follows an eight-year redrafting schedule. “ ere was a recognition on all parts that the targets set on CAP 1.0 were lacking some data to suggest what we could realistically achieve, and it was becoming more clear to us that we needed to update, so to be based on a real baseline and have our reductions coincide with real plans,” Mital said.

UO emissions breakdown About 40 percent of UO’s emissions come from energy generation and 57 percent come from transportation.

Eugene Water and Electric Board supplies 60 percent of the energy used to light and cool UO’s main Eugene campus. EWEB energy is made up of 93 percent renewable energy (primarily hydropower) and 7 percent fossil fuels. e university also has solar panels on five buildings, as well as solar water heaters on the roofs of three others. ese only account for a

small amount of overall energy consumption on campus. e UO Central Power Station, a natural gas plant that lies across Franklin Boulevard from the UO main campus, accounts for the rest of the campus’s energy consumption. Natural gas doesn’t produce as much carbon dioxide or air pollutants, but it does emits methane — a greenhouse gas that lives a shorter period of time in the atmosphere but is 84-times stronger than CO2.

Hardenbrook knows that natural gas is not ideal and is further contributing to man-made climate change. He said, “there’s always an ecological impact,” and moving to renewable energy completely will cost millions of dollars.

“We need to establish what the intrinsic value is for carbon,” Hardenbrook said. In other words, if a carbon tax made it more expensive to burn natural gas, UO might be more enticed to make the change. But for now, natural gas is cheap and the boilers could work for another 30 to 40 years. e transportation side of UO’s emissions is more difficult because what forms of transportation are available are, to some extent, out of the university’s control. UO-sponsored travel means everything from paying for math professors to go to an annual mathematics conference in Europe to the Ducks football team traveling to a bowl game halfway across the nation.

However, more sustainable methods of travel, like taking public transportation over individuals driving or flying to conferences and event, could curb UO’s carbon emissions in this sector.

Enter CAP 2.0 Noticing a slowdown in the original momentum toward fulfilling CAP goals, CJL formed the CAP 2.0 campaign in 2017 to push UO to make a new plan with stricter guidelines for the university to follow. ey submitted an advisory measure in the 2018 ASUO ballot, asking students if they think UO should follow through with CAP to reduce carbon emissions. Of the 1,309 students who voted, 94.7 percent said yes.

Around the same time, Mital, who was involved in the CAP 2.0 creation, reached out to McHolm to ask if he could get a student group together to learn about CAP 2.0, which McHolm and Brendan Adamczyk, chair of the Student Sustainability Network, arranged. (Adamczyk also serves as a co-director of Climate Justice League – a UO student-run environmental club.) en the 2018 International Panel on Climate Change’s latest report was released on Black Friday. Suddenly leveling off emissions needed to happen by 2030, not 2050.

“On campus, we’re working with the best available science, and that’s what the best available science says: It’s changed in the past couple years,” Adamczyk said. “ e date [to level off emissions] was originally 2050, then it was 2040 and now it’s 2030.”

So CJL and the SSC worked together to draft a proposed addendum, which McHolm and Adamczyk presented to UO President Michael Schill in January. e proposal cited the measure and the IPCC report and was signed by 316 students, staff and faculty.

UO political science professor Ron Mitchell — head of the Climate Change Research Group and Symposium — said the university’s work to reduce emissions isn’t fruitless: “UO emission reductions a) make real, even if small, contribution to actually reducing greenhouse gases and, hence, climate change; b) demonstrate strong leadership to the local, state and national community,

providing a role model for others to follow; and c) both engage and teach students about how to identify and respond effectively to the global problems they will face once they graduate.” e proposal urged UO to follow the IPCC’s recommendation to reduce its carbon emissions by 45 percent of what they were in 2010 by 2030, with a later goal of reaching the original target of carbon neutrality by 2050. It also recommended UO to increase educational and research opportunities on climate change topics and to establish a formal board of students, faculty and staff — connected to the Office of Sustainability — that would hold the university accountable for reaching the CAP 2.0 goals.

Schill and Mital agreed to meet with McHolm and Adamczyk on April 15 to discuss plans to produce a CAP 2.0, which would provide stricter guidelines for the university to follow. “[Schill] was very upfront and transparent about the fact that he wasn’t going to make a commitment that sounded really good but ultimately wasn’t feasible,” McHolm said.

What’s next? e University of Oregon is expected to rack up an $8 million deficit at the end of this fiscal year, and the deficit is expected to add another $23.5 million next fiscal year, according to KEZI. Because of this, President Schill remained hesitant in the CAP 2.0 April meeting to reach any concrete decisions regarding the university’s plan to reduce its GHG emissions.

“It’s a difficult time to make new commitments given the financial stresses the institution is facing, but this is an important issue,” Schill said.

“We have to keep at it.” is is what he did say verbatim:

e UO Central Power Station produces energy via natural gas for electricity, chilling water and heating buildings. (Maddie Knight)

1. I will elevate our work on emissions management by annually reporting our progress against CAP 2.0 commitments to the UO community.

2. Similarly, I will ask our Board secretary to put emissions management on the Board of Trustees’ Finance and/or Facilities committee agendas.

3. When appropriate, I will ask our VP for Finance and Administration to convene a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students to review progress on CAP 2.0 and contemplate actions to be included in CAP 3.0.

4. I am committed to increasing support for climate change education and preparing students for careers responding to its many challenges.

5. Similarly, I am committed to increasing our capacity to contribute to climate change-related research.

6. Finally, I recognize that the Oregon legislature is currently contemplating HB2020, a cap-and-trade bill that would regulate up to 80 percent of all carbon emissions in Oregon.

If the bill becomes law, I will ask staff to study and make a recommendation regarding UO volunteering to become a covered entity.

Later, the administration said they plan to publish CAP 2.0 on Friday. e Emerald plans to provide a thorough breakdown of the new plan.

For a breakdown of possible solutions to reduce the university’s emissions, read a more detailed version of this story at DailyEmerald.com.

OPINION BETWEEN THE WORLD, HERPES AND ME

BY LESLIE SELCER • TWITTER @DIDACTIC_HAG I’m sitting alone in a sterile, white room at the UO Health Center, staring at pictures of clownfish on the wall. I’ve just had a routine well-woman exam and STI panel. I try to be responsible about these things, so I’ve already told my doctor about a recent partner who may not have been totally honest about their sexual history.

After a 15-minute wait, my doctor returns to gently inform me that I’ve tested positive for the Herpes Simplex Virus. She’s obviously waiting for me to panic — but I’m not panicking. I’m already involved in several sex positive communities, so I know there’s no reason to have a meltdown. Mostly, I’m just mad that I made the mistake of trusting someone I probably shouldn’t have.

Of course, I text that partner as soon as the doctor leaves. ey respond with a lackluster: “I honestly don’t know what to say.” ey tell me they didn’t know about their status, but they’ll go to the clinic after lunch to be sure.

“I hope you don’t hate me,” they say. “I’m sorry that I unknowingly hurt you.”

In the following weeks, we go on to have several friendly conversations in between updates about the health stuff. Of course, I can’t ignore the fact that this person apparently misinformed me about my risk in order to obtain my consent. But, as I quickly realize, pointing fingers about who “infected” whom is ultimately a self-destructive process. Whenever I wield the discourse of shame and blame against them, my own feelings of shame intensify.

My feelings become even more complicated when I discover that official CDC guidelines recommend against testing for herpes during routine STI panels unless there are symptoms or a patient discloses unprotected sex with multiple partners. Despite the fact that I had been requesting routine STI panels for “everything,” I wasn’t being tested for herpes.

In reality, I could have just as easily been carrying the virus without knowing it.

I’ve been surprised by a lot of what I’ve discovered in my research over the last month. But most of all, I’ve been surprised by the sheer intensity of emotional distress I’ve experienced following my diagnosis. I’ve cried in therapy a lot — ugly, snotty crying broken up only by half-formed questions about whether anyone will ever love me again.

It turns out that my experience is common enough.

Studies show that people with recent STI diagnoses frequently experience social isolation, sexual anxiety and decreased self-esteem. One study actually compares the coping process and psychological effects of a herpes diagnosis to those of a cancer diagnosis. I’ve even seen people talking online about how they contemplated suicide following a diagnosis.

Frankly, it’s a pretty dismal situation on this end of the stigma.

But it doesn’t have to be like this. Breaking the stigma begins with correcting two commonlyheld beliefs: 1) that herpes won’t impact you or someone you love, and 2) that herpes has massive consequences for one’s physical health.

Let’s talk facts. ere are two strains of HSV, helpfully labeled 1 and 2. According to the World Health Organization, two-thirds of the world’s population under 50 already carries the HSV-1 strain. ere’s a lower chance that you’re carrying HSV-2: the Harvard Medical School estimates that HSV-2 affects about 1 in 4 Americans. Although HSV-1 is popularly referred to as “oral herpes” and HSV-2 is more often called PA G E 1 2

“genital herpes,” you shouldn’t be misled by these misnomers because you can contract HSV-1 and HSV2 at any body orifices including the eyes, the mouth and the genitals. Genital herpes can therefore be passed through any number of physical exchanges — including everything from oral sex to penetrative sex to plain old skin-to-skin contact.

Dr. Monique Tello, a contributor to Harvard Health Publishing, argues that “genital herpes is far and away the most common sexually transmitted infection that we see in primary care.” However, most people carrying the virus never realize it because signs of genital herpes are often confused with other problems like ingrown hairs, pimples, insect bites and razor burn. e CDC estimates that “87.4 percent of 14- to 49-year-olds infected with HSV-2 have never received a clinical diagnosis.” Accordingly, it should be no surprise that most new herpes contacts are with people who don’t know their status.

Yet, despite its ubiquity, herpes gets a worse rap than other STIs that can be cured. It should be noted that the lack of a cure doesn’t necessarily mean that herpes symptoms never go away; in most cases, symptoms decrease in frequency and severity after the initial outbreak. at’s especially true now that there are effective long-term suppression treatments which can reduce outbreaks by 70-80 percent.

Many people on suppressive therapy stop having outbreaks altogether and have minimal viral shedding — meaning that their sexual partners enjoy a relatively low probability of transference. One study showed that suppressive therapy reduced the transmission of HSV-2 between discordant heterosexual partners from 3.6 percent to 1.9 percent. ose odds are comparable to the average risk of pregnancy (2 to 15 percent) when using condoms.

Even without suppressive therapy, the rate of transference is lower than you might expect. In one 18-month study of 528 couples, researchers

found that out of every 10,000 sex acts between discordant partners, about 8.9 people with vaginas and 1.5 people with penises contracted genital herpes. e risk, as with most STIs, is higher for people with vaginas.

In other words, for the vast majority of people, genital herpes just isn’t a big deal. If anything, it’s an annoyance that prevents you from having certain kinds of sex during outbreaks and for 7-10 days after. ough a diagnosis can certainly feel like a death sentence for your love life, the situation is far from hopeless.

Moreover, life for HSV-positive people can continue to improve if we develop a broader public understanding of sexual health. Luckily, online communities already offer a wealth of resources and social solidarity. I personally found immense support through conversations with Courtney Brame, founder of @honmychest on Instagram and the Something Positive for Positive People podcast.

Still, talking to strangers online isn’t enough.

Discussing my status with friends has made me realize that people are already becoming more openminded. I guess that’s why I’ve written this (extremely long and extremely public) article: at the end of the day, I’m not actually fighting the stigma as long as I keep treating my own status like a humiliating secret.

Because non-monogamous sex is becoming the new normal, the spread of herpes and other STIs is accelerating. It’s important, then, that we commit to opening up a more compassionate conversation about STIs. We need to create a world where people know how to get tested, why to be honest about their sex habits and when to disclose their status.

Most of all, however, I want to create a world where we demonstrate greater care, generosity and respect for our sex partners and ourselves.

Don’t you?

Oregon ended its last away game of the season with a loss of 11-3 against the Utah Utes this Sunday. (Ben Green)

OREGON SOFTBALL’S POSTSEASON HOPES DASHED AS DUCKS DROP SERIES AT UTAH

BY CARLY EBISUYA • TWITTER @CARLYEBISUYA e Ducks came into Sunday’s rubber game against the Utah Utes with a series win on the line as well as hopes to hit an even record for a potential playoff berth. Coming into the game, Utah and Oregon were currently tied 5-15 and seventh in Pac-12 conference play, but the final game would change that.

Oregon ended its last road trip of the season with a loss of 11-3.

Even though the Ducks did not have all hands on deck this weekend they were able to have some solid moments offensively.

A solo shot by Cherish Burks put the Ducks ahead 1-0 at the top of the second inning. e leadoff hit was the senior’s fourth home run of the season.

At the bottom of the second inning, Utah tried a squeeze attempt with runners on the corners but the Ducks tagged the runner at home plate.

With the bases loaded at the top of the fourth inning, freshman outfielder Lexi Wagner hit an RBI single into right field to give the Ducks another run. In the same inning, freshman Hannah Galey scored for a 3-0 lead off of a Utah pitching error. e Utes went on a beating that was unstoppable starting at the bottom of PA G E 1 4

the third inning. e game took a turn when the Utes scored six straight runs on three Oregon errors on three hits and just one earned run to take the lead 6-3. e Ducks failed to protect their 3-0 lead with Utah’s bases loaded and no outs.

Utah then extended its lead 8-3 in the bottom of the fifth inning with an additional two runs.

A triple gave the Utes two more runs at the bottom of the sixth inning with that triple being their fourth of the day for the home team. A hit to center field by Utah increased their lead to which the Ducks were runruled with a final score of 11-3. e loss in Salt Lake City gives Utah its first ever series win against Oregon and puts the Ducks out of the race for a postseason bid as they will not have a chance to reach an even .500 for the season.

Oregon needed to win all of their games for the rest of the regular season to be eligible for a bid in the NCAA tournament. e Ducks have their final home series next week against Arizona State starting on ursday at Jane Sanders Stadium.

Oregon baseball (23-22, 8-13) was blown out by Arizona on Sunday 28-7, losing its ninth game in its last 10 games while being swept for the second time in conference play. e game ended after eight innings due to the getaway day curfew rule.

Although down 2-0 in the series with Arizona heading into Sunday’s game, the Ducks still had a chance to salvage the series and possibly build some momentum for a postseason push.

Oregon baseball once again had to wait until the final game of a conference series to win a game.

Sunday’s matchup with Arizona marked the fourth conference series (the others being Washington, Stanford and Cal) in which the Ducks trailed 2-0 heading into the finale. e losses have also been devastating. Oregon has allowed four walk-offs in this tough 10-game run, all four coming off reliever Ryne Nelson.

With all this bad, there was a chance for some good when the Ducks scored a run in the top of the first inning. at lead did not last long, however, as Arizona scored eight runs in the bottom of the first,

seven more in the second inning, one in the third inning and seven more in the fourth inning.

Despite the four runs through four innings for the Oregon offense, the result, and the sweep, was never in doubt.

Arizona’s Nick Quintana had five RBIs and Austin Wells had four.

Justin Wylie also scored five runs in the game for the Wildcats.

Six Oregon pitchers combined to allow 28 runs, 22 earned, over the seven innings. Starting pitcher Cullen Kafka allowed 11 runs, five earned, in just one inning of work.

Tyler Frazier, Kolby Somers, Peyton Fuller and Christian Ciuffetelli all allowed at least three runs as well. e lone pitcher to produce was the fourth reliever, Nico Tellache.

Tellache pitched two scoreless innings, although the game was already won at that point.

Oregon will return to Eugene for its first home game since the threegame sweep by Stanford on April 18-20. e Ducks will host Portland at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7. e Ducks lost to Portland 5-3 March 5, in Portland.

Oregon baseball was blown out by Arizona on Sunday 28-7, losing its ninth game in the last of 10 games. (Ben Green)
