NEWS Very little information has been released since the shooting behind Taylor’s Bar and Grill. (Dana Sparks)

INVESTIGATION CONTINUES FOR SHOOTING BEHIND TAYLOR’S BAR AND GRILL BY GINA SCALPONE • TWITTER @GINASCALPONE

It’s been almost a month since Lane Community College student Alex Oyombe Gradin, 21, was shot and killed in the University of Oregon-owned lot behind Taylor’s Bar and Grill in the early hours of May 4. No arrests have been made in connection with Gradin’s murder, and very little information has been released since. Here’s what we know so far: • Both University of Oregon Police and Eugene Police responded to calls about shots fired at 1:45 a.m. on May 4. One victim, later identified as Gradin, was found on the ground with a gunshot wound and received medical assistance, but he died at the scene. • EPD asked for taxi and rideshare drivers who may have been in the area to share any dashcam footage they may have taken. “We do not have anything to release publicly, and are continuing to actively investigate it,” said Eugene Police spokesperson Melinda McLaughlin in an email. McLaughlin said that while she wishes they could offer more information, EPD cannot release anything at this point. “To provide information now would jeopardize the investigation,” she said. She said she understood why it’s difficult to be left in the dark. “ is has had a big effect on the involved neighborhood and people who live in or visit the area. It is natural to be concerned after an e Emerald is published by Emerald Media Group, Inc., the independent nonprofit media company at the University of Oregon.

incident like this, and want to know more about what happened,” she said. “We certainly will provide more information when we can.” ere is no typical timeline for the completion of a homicide investigation in Eugene. “Each is unique,” McLaughlin said. “ ere can be a very quick arrest, but also there are some that take a lot longer, and others for which all leads have been exhausted.” In 2018, there were three homicides in Eugene, and all three were cleared, which means the case was closed because an arrest was made or there was some sort of exception. For example, if the prosecutor declines the case or the suspect dies, it will be cleared. So far this year, there have also been three homicides. One of them, this case, is still open, while another — a murder-suicide — was cleared, and the third was considered not criminal, according to McLaughlin. As long as there are leads to investigate, EPD will continue to work the case for weeks, months, or even years, McLaughlin said. EPD also has a Cold Case Squad, which will follow up on cases after their leads have been exhausted. But Eugene’s homicide rate is generally low. For the last two years, the homicide rate in Eugene was 1.8 deaths per 100,000 people. Over the last five years, the homicide rate in Eugene has been lower than the U.S.’s overall rate, which hovers around 6 deaths per 100,000 people, according to the CDC.

recent years, the Eugene homicide rate has also been lower than the Oregon rate, which was 2.4 homicides per 100,000 people in 2018 and 3.1 in 2017. Homicide rates are low in Eugene, but they’re even more uncommon on UO property. is is the first murder on UO property in recent history. e last one was in November 1984, when a student dubbed the “Autzen sniper” opened fire, killing former UO track athlete and Olympic sprinter Chris Braithwaite, 34, and wounding then-UO wrestler Rick O’Shea. e Emerald reported that the shots were fired from university property. Braithwaite was killed while jogging nearby on Pre’s Trail. e sniper, a 19-year-old UO student, committed suicide after EPD responded to the scene. While UOPD is the responding police agency for crimes on campus, EPD is investigating the shooting behind Taylor’s. UOPD spokesperson Kelly McIver said EPD would typically be the investigating agency for homicides on campus because EPD has specialized units devoted to violent crimes and forensics, which UOPD doesn’t have due to its size and nature. “UOPD may assist EPD in any criminal cases by, at EPD’s request, providing security video, canvassing witnesses, interviewing subjects, or other police work,” McIver said. e Emerald will continue to report on this story as more information becomes available.

A NEWS

STUDENTS STAND TO PROFIT FROM ASUO ELECTIONS BY MICHAEL TOBIN AND ANAKIN WELP

ASUO slates are free to use leftover donations as they see fit due to a lack of regulations. (Illustration by Ia Balbuena-Nedrow)

is article is part of a series about campaign finance in student government elections. After triumphing in this year’s ASUO election, Ducks Empowered had $2,034 in unspent campaign contributions. With a lack of ASUO regulations applying to election benefactions, any slate is free to use leftover donations as it sees fit — and personal use of the funds is not out of the question. Although there is a total expenditure cap of $4,000 as of 2017, the lack of regulations about what slates must do with excess funds presents a scenario in which those running for student government could hypothetically profit from the elections process. Additionally, ASUO elections rules do not place restrictions on how much an individual can donate and even business and political organizations can contribute to student government elections. For example, the Democratic Party Precinct Committee donated $82 to I’m With UO in 2016. In previous years, campaign contributions have added up to high amounts reaching up to $22,995 in 2016 by the slate One Oregon. ASUO’s campaign finance rules are unusual compared to other public schools in the Pacific Northwest and across the country. At Oregon State University, no outside organizations are allowed to donate to student government races and there is a campaign spending limit of $1,000. e University of Washington has an even stricter set of rules, limiting campaign spending in the office of the president to $270. Additionally, students advocating for or against ballot measures at UW can’t have more than $50 of campaign expenditures. PA G E 4

To be sure, Ducks Empowered is not planning on using the money for personal expenses. Ducks Empowered campaign manager Hibo Abtidon told the Emerald in an email that the money would be distributed among members of the campaign because the slate ran on fair student pay, adding that whatever money wasn’t given to campaign workers would go to the food insecurity budget. “Since one of our goals was fair student pay we wanted to make sure that were properly compensating the people who were on our team,” Abtidon wrote. “We had a full team of students working behind the scenes with us doing finances, social media, t-shirt design, etc.” So why aren’t students required to do anything with leftover campaign contributions? Dakota Steele, ASUO Elections Board chair, wrote in an email to the Emerald that since candidates are not directly affiliated with student government when running for a position, ASUO Elections Board has no ability to tell them what to do with excess funds. “When individuals campaign for donations, they’re doing it individually. ey’re not doing it for an ASUO organization or a club on campus. ey’re doing it for themselves and as an individual.” Steele wrote that the situation is somewhat of a gray area and that the individual nature of the candidacy is the reason why ASUO rules do not apply. “Since individual students are requesting funds outside of a ASUO organization, those individuals are not subject to ASUO rules nor does the ASUO Elections Board rules specify [sic] what to do with

remaining campaign donations,” Steele wrote. Students donated to their own slates as well, according to campaign contribution documents. Seven slate members (now elected officials), including current ASUO Vice President Montse Mendez, donated to the Ducks Empowered slate. Donating to one’s own campaign is not uncommon — Ivan Chen donated $500 to the Ducks Together slate in 2018 and was elected as external vice president. Brian Sun, Ethan Shafer and Cynthia Aguilar-Arizmendi, who were all elected to legislative positions, also donated to their own campaigns. e other slates competing in this year’s election also had surpluses but were smaller than what Ducks Empowered had left: Oregon Alliance had $128.85 left over and UO is Yours had $335 remaining. Oregon Alliance received $2,500 from former-VP candidate Michael Kraan’s parents and, according to expenditure forms, the slate spent $2,500 on video production. In total, Oregon Alliance raised $2,945 and said they returned the leftover money to Kraan’s parents because they made the largest contributions to the slate. Katie Quines, presidential candidate with UO is Yours, informed the Emerald in an email that $210 of the total $455 the slate received was a donation from her father in the form of t-shirts. Quines said that she planned to pay her father back for some of the shirt production cost. Even if slates choose to return leftover money to major donors or distribute it among campaign workers, there’s still nothing stopping them from using that money for personal use.

One of the living spaces at Alpha Farm is actually a converted school bus, maintained by Josefine Snook. (Marissa Willke)

COMMUNITY AT ITS FINEST:

Caroline Estes is one of the original founders of Alpha Farm, which was started in 1972. (Marissa Willke)

ALPHA FARM PROVIDES A TIGHT-KNIT COOPERATIVE OUTSIDE EUGENE BY FRANKIE KERNER Walk across a footbridge over a creek in Deadwood, Oregon, and you’ll find yourself in another world. Nestled in the middle of Western Oregon sits a 280-acre co-op called Alpha Farm. Since 1972, Alpha has been an intentional community for people of all types to come out and work together. eir goal is to live a more simple life, free of the distractions and chaos of the regular world. e whole place can really only be described as magic. It feels like stepping into another time, with a garden, a greenhouse, over 10 beautiful buildings, a meditation trail, cats, chickens, dogs, two renovated school buses and no cell service. e place is ethereal. e members have community dinners each night, which they take turns preparing. Before each meal, they all hold hands around a circle and kiss the hands of the people next to them to symbolize teamwork. One of the founding members, Caroline Estes, 91, decided to start Alpha 47 years ago. Estes was in Philadelphia when she had the idea. After planning out the vision for a year with likeminded friends, Estes and her group knew they either wanted to start a community in Vermont or Oregon. A few of them took a vacation out to Oregon and eventually came across the property in Deadwood. Upon returning to Philadelphia to raise money, they bought the property and turned it into Alpha Farm. On April Fools’ Day in 1972, which Estes says she feels “is a very appropriate birthday,” the first member, Linda, arrived. After that, the rest of them gave up their jobs to move to Alpha. According to Estes, the purpose of Alpha is to have a place for people to come and learn how to do community work “so when the time comes that we need to organize, people are trained to do it.” Estes has a background in activism and teaching community work. In the ‘70s and ‘80s, Alpha was present in Lane County. A lot of people knew about it and respected what those in charge were doing. Even so, it took some effort to get to that point. At first, PA G E 6

the conservative community in Lane County was skeptical of a commune popping up in the middle of Deadwood. One way the Alpha members combatted this was by starting a restaurant in Deadwood called Alpha Bit. ey started it six months after they arrived in order to be connected to the community. “We didn’t want to be just those strange people up Deadwood,” said Estes. As soon as some people started getting coffee there each morning, the rest of the community began to trust the commune more, and Alpha Bit eventually became a staple in Deadwood. e restaurant survived 45 years, up until 2017, when they had to close it down due to financial reasons. “A large number of people were upset. Really upset. Because it was a place they’d come to depend on. So I think [closing] was a mistake,” Estes said. In the beginning, there were only about 10 members at Alpha. ere was a large wave of people traveling to different co-ops in vans on the road, so they saw a lot of people come through over the first few years. Estes estimates at least several hundred visited — some stayed, some people went on, but over seven years, they eventually climbed up to 30 members. Estes moved her hand up and down like a rollercoaster and said that’s how communities are always going to be. “It’s been a very interesting 47 years.” Another fluctuation in members happened this past year. In September, the co-op was at only five members, but has since grown to its current size of 14. Alpha member Dorion Bauman was part of that group of five almost a year ago. Bauman moved to Alpha from St. Petersburg, Florida, 10 months ago, when a friend of his, Genesis, found the co-op online. Bauman made the decision rather spontaneously but said he is glad he did. “We wanted freedom to create, and to make a living off of what we create, and to bring life back to the place,” said Bauman. “Genesis and I arrived with a vision for the place before we even saw it.”

Bauman’s favorite thing to do at Alpha is fix things. He’s currently working on refurbishing an old trailer and painting it turquoise. Other than building, Bauman has a love for networking and is a part of Alpha’s PR committee. “I’m kind of obsessed with expanding Alpha’s network as far as I can,” he said. Bauman exists somewhat in two different worlds. Almost every weekend, he drives to Eugene to go to see live music with his friends there. He loves making connections with the people there but finds it difficult to explain to the people at Alpha. “It’s a difficult balance, but it’s getting easier,” said Bauman. e roles of Alpha members are determined by the energy that they bring to the group. “As long as it’s bringing value to the farm, that’s your job for the week,” said Bauman. “We don’t have roles, we don’t have labels.” In a consensus-based intentional community, decisions have to be decided on completely as a group. If one person doesn’t agree with a proposal or an idea, then it doesn’t happen. is can often mean that it takes a long time for things to happen, but Alpha members find it necessary to make sure everyone is on the same page. Currently, some members want to rent out spaces at the farm to be airbnbs or camping spots, but others contest the idea. e argument is that it would raise more money for the farm as well as provide more exposure and awareness. But some fear that letting strangers in will counteract the purpose of the community and bring negative energy into the property. One of the most common ways people communicate is on the chalkboard in what they call the mud porch. “Everyone walks through the mud porch 100 times a day,” said Bauman. He said that much of the day is taken up by running around the farm, helping people with on projects and working together on them. Alpha is a community that thrives on teamwork and consensus. “I think either we’re going to come together or we’re going to die together,” said Estes.

CUTTING-EDGE LEARNING:

A LOOK INSIDE THE UO CADAVER LAB BY TANNER SHIPLEY

In the basement of Klamath Hall at the University of Oregon, students like junior human physiology major Sydney Michel study human anatomy through books, models and another, more authentic, source: cadavers. Each year, eight donor bodies that have been dissected are studied by students during the threeterm-long anatomy and physiology sequence. is exposure to human bodies donated to science helps students understand how the anatomy they learn about makes up themselves. “You can look at a textbook all day long, but the second you look at a body, you’re like, ‘ is is no different from me,’” Michel said. UO’s cadaver lab sets itself apart from other undergraduate programs by providing numerous human donor bodies so that students can get handson experience with bodies, get past the initial shock of working with real human beings and possibly dissect one themselves. A historical legacy e histories of the cadaver lab and dissection program date back over a century. UO opened its medical school in Portland in 1887, and after merging with the medical program at Willamette University, it became the only one in the Pacific Northwest. Once it was declared an independent institution in 1974, it became what is now known as Oregon Health and Sciences University, according to OHSU’s website. After the medical school separated from UO, there PA G E 8

was a small anatomy program that was preserved; this included the dissection program. Jon Runyeon, professor in the human physiology department and head of dissection at the university, said this is a rare case. “Most schools that don’t have a med school don’t have a cadaver lab. … It’s a historical legacy, basically,” Runyeon said. e move from biology department to human physiology department didn’t occur until the latter was created, as a result of Measure 5 passing in 1990, according to the human physiology department website. Major revenue cuts to the university resulted in the closing of the College of Health, PE and Rec and its relocation under the College of Arts and Sciences as the department of exercise and movement science, and the anatomy and dissection programs followed. In 2004, the name was changed once again to the department of human physiology, where the programs have been housed ever since. Dissecting the donors Students start the anatomy and physiology sequence either at the beginning of summer or fall term, but the cycle starts before then, during spring term, when eight new donor bodies arrive at the lab every year. is is when the dissection class is offered, and just under a hundred students prepare the bodies by removing or making visible different anatomical structures for the next year’s students to study.

“Right now, we’re working on our individual projects, preparing these bodies for teaching,” Runyeon said of the cycle that began this term. By individual, Runyeon really does mean individual. Each student is assigned a region on one of the bodies which becomes their project for the entire term. ey research, plan and execute the entire process alone. At the beginning of the dissection process, each student compiles a list of all of the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, arteries, veins, nerves, organs and any other things that are found in their region of the body. e students then must decide what they want to keep for future anatomy students to see, as well as what to remove so that the chosen structures are as clear as possible. “At first, I was kind of confused, because there were no guidelines, and they were kind of like, ‘Have at it,’” Michel said about the process. “I felt kind of like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing, why do they trust me with these bodies? I have no experience whatsoever.’” However, there’s always an instructor nearby to help when needed. “I probably call her over like 20 times in my lab to be like, ‘Is this okay? Is this okay?’ And she’s like, ‘You’re doing great, you just gotta believe in yourself.’ She’s definitely helped me be confident in the decisions I was making,” Michel said. Michel’s dissection region is the head, and her goal is to highlight some areas that weren’t as visible on the bodies she studied. “[For my understanding,] I need to see a body part in so many different planes,

almost like looking at it from different angles … I ended up removing the eyeball, because I wanted to get the optic nerve in the eye socket, because I didn’t remember seeing anything like that.” Part of the learning process is making mistakes. Michel said this isn’t uncommon and neither should it be fretted over. “A lot of the time, you’ll accidentally cut something that you were trying really hard to isolate or accidentally cut through a muscle, and [my instructor’s] like, ‘You know what? It’s fine. ere are so many other bodies.’ You’re in there so long, you get invested in this process. e last thing you wanna do is cut it, but there are still plenty of usable parts there.” A remarkable study tool As each term of the anatomy sequence progresses, students are given structure lists outlining what they’re expected to know for that week and can be tested on for an exam. Due to the large amount of study material, professors and graduate instructors offer many office hours and open lab sessions, in which students can come in to do some extra studying with the cadavers and models. It makes for a lively environment, especially around exam time. “I like to think — and I’m pretty sure we are — that is, the single busiest teaching lab on campus,” professor Runyeon said. “We’re basically cruising from eight in the morning to 10 p.m. almost [every] Monday through Friday, and hundreds of students are using it.” One of the benefits of these open labs is getting familiar with the bodies. Each one is unique, adding an extra challenge when identifying parts of them. “ ere’s a lot of biological variation. Everyone is completely different, and a textbook can say that something is in one place, but in reality, it could be somewhere else on a body,” Michel said. Once the cycle ends at the end of winter term, the remains of each of the bodies are sent back to the willed body donation program they were received from to be cremated and returned to their beneficiary, if they have one, while the new bodies are picked up. ese donation programs are usually through medical schools. roughout the entire process, privacy is paramount to the department. “Part of the agreement when you donate your body is that you remain anonymous, and so, when we get the bodies, typically all we ever get are the cause of death, the sex, age and weight,” Runyeon said. He added that height and sometimes occupation are given. Coming to the lab at the start of the sequence and seeing the dissected cadavers for the first time is unsettling for many students, but for Michel, seeing the undissected bodies at the start of dissection was more emotional. “ e bodies don’t even really resemble humans once they’re dissected, so it’s easier to go in there and learn about them. But when they’re laying there, fully undissected, you’re just like, ‘ is was

someone’s grandma or relative.’ It’s just weird,” she said. Even for professor Runyeon, the head of the dissection program, the first time wasn’t easy. “I had a really bad emotional reaction. I had to leave the lab for a little bit. I’m totally coming clean — I didn’t really enjoy dissection that first time. I had a hard time with it,” he said. Given the hands-on experience and emotional hurdles students overcome through working with cadavers, Runyeon emphasized how having a lab here is special. “ ere are other … undergraduate programs that have access to cadavers but not as many,” he said. “Often, they’re kept for a much longer period — two to three years instead of recycling every year — and because of that, there’s not a dissection opportunity.” Some other undergraduate programs that offer dissection are much more competitive. Oregon State University’s program, for example, offers only two bodies for the same number of students, meaning fewer students get the opportunity, Runyeon said.

Every spring, eight new donor bodies are brought to the UO cadaver lab to be dissected by students and studied throughout the three-term anatomy sequences starting in the summer or fall. (Tanner Shipley)

Training future health professionals Anatomy students spend a year learning about the human body from every angle, and eventually, the goal is for them to be prepared and ahead of the game for their next step, whatever that may be. “By the time you’re done with this program, you know anatomy as well as people coming out of physical therapy school and medical school,” Runyeon said. UO’s cadaver lab is a learning opportunity seldom given to undergraduate students. Anyone on the fence about the program or unsure about whether they’re too squeamish can contact the human physiology department to talk about seeing the lab before committing to the major. Health professions are known for their long and arduous educational paths, and this is just one step for many students. It can be challenging and strenuous, but it’s also necessary. “It is awkward, and it is hard and harder for some than others, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of or nothing I would judge anybody on,” Runyeon said. “You need this exposure if you’re going to go to the next step, because actually, this exposure, for most, is easier than the real thing.” For Michel, the cadaver lab and dissection program have acted as decisive experiences that helped her decide on her future. “It’s definitely made me appreciate the human body a lot more, and it’s solidified the fact that I want to be a healthcare professional,” Michel said. “I want to be a physical therapist, and I wanna help people whose muscles maybe aren’t working right because I have the privilege of being able to see those muscles right in front of my face, knowing exactly what they look like.” Note: is article was written by a student in the anatomy and dissection courses.

THROWBACK WITH “THE COMEBACK”

SUFJAN STEVENS’ NEW SONGS

It’s been a long time since 2005, but “ e Comeback” still gets laughs. Lisa Kudrow’s return to comedy on HBO tells the story of an aging television star who tried to jumpstart her career by starring in a reality show. Kudrow isn’t afraid to mock her own personal life, as her fame has stilled since her participation on “Friends” in the ‘90s. Although dated, the show smartly deals with issues of age, gender, sexuality, race and class in the patriarchy of Hollywood. “ e Comeback” is a lesson for all of us, even if the visuals are less stellar than HBO’s usual fare. Anyone can make a comeback, but not without losing a little humility along the way.

Sufjan Stevens, America’s most sensitive singersongwriter, released two songs in celebration of Pride Month. On the new track “Love Yourself,” a heavenly electronic orchestra, backs up Stevens’ soft voice as he sings, “Show me everything, every reason to believe in yourself.” e B-side, “With My Whole Heart” is a lengthier, danceable cut that deals with a more direct, romantic love. Sufjan explained in a press release that his intention was to “write an upbeat and sincere love song without conflict, anxiety or self-deprecation,” and it certainly seems like he has succeeded. e music will be released on a 7-inch single towards the end of this month with proceeds going towards two LGBTQ+ organizations: the Ali Forney Center and the Ruth Ellis Center.

OPINION (Illustration by Laura Grigorieff)

FUN IN THE SUN BY ARMAND YAZDANI

As summer nears, many a person embrace the long-awaited sun, especially in Oregon. While some individuals must toil away during the season and others only have minimal free time, people often discover they need something new to do — they need an activity to enjoy while the sun is out. Depending on how much time you can afford, you ought to consider one of the following — from sports which can sap a whole day’s time to hobbies which can take only 30 minutes to try. Rowing is a thrilling activity which can improve physique and allow you to bask in the sun for hours. As an all-body sport, rowing can strengthen several parts of the body from legs and abs to back and biceps. According to a report from Harvard Health Publishing, stationary rowing can burn through hundreds of calories depending on the intensity. A “vigorous workout” for 30 minutes can burn 255 calories for an individual weighing 125 pounds. Someone at 155 pounds can expect to burn 316 calories in that duration. If you find yourself idling in your home, consider rowing, where you can enjoy the sunshine, burn calories quickly and improve your body. While joining a rowing club or buying a boat may cost both time and money, hiking, which also burns many calories, can be a simpler option. e Harvard Health Report revealed 30 minutes of cross-country hiking to burn 180 calories PA G E 1 2

for those weighing 125 pounds and 223 calories for people at 155 pounds. If you happen to live near hills or trails, you can simply slip on your tennis shoes, travel to those hills or trails and hike. Extroverts can invite chums to hike while introverts can hike alone. Hiking can be a convenient, multi-optional activity to consider trying if you must exercise and find a new hobby. But if you already exercise hither and thither and prefer a less physically demanding activity, you can barbecue. Although barbecues can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, if you are fond of steak, sausage or burgers, you may wind up using it every day. Vegetarians or vegans can plop fruits and vegetables onto the barbecue such as corn, onions and potatoes. You can further reap the barbecue’s benefits by inviting friends over. A timeless cooking method, barbecues can be both interactive and a means to savor your food as the sun shines. Maybe you have an excess of leisure. While rowing, barbecuing or hiking seem like rousing and pleasant activities, you may want to go somewhere. Camping offers that opportunity to travel out of your environment while not traveling too far. Unlike the other aforementioned activities, you can incorporate many activities into camping.

Hikers can hike, runners can run, rowers can row (if there’s a nearby body of water, of course) at the campground. ose left too weary from work can huddle around a fire and gorge on s’mores. e mere fact that you are enjoying nature can also reduce your stress. In a 2014 study published in Ecopsychology, subjects were split into two groups: “nature group walkers” and “nongroup walkers.” According to the study, nature group walkers had less perceived stress, “significantly lower” depression and improved well-being. Even though many campers will not be engaging in nature walks, they may still enjoy these benefits of nature. If your free time is abundant, rally up some friends and go camping, which provides many activities and reduces stress. Although you may have to work, go to school or travel during the summer, you ought to consider these activities in the case that you stumble upon free time. Sports such as rowing and hiking burn calories quickly and allow you to appreciate the sunshine. For those who already exercise or who want festive activities, take up barbecuing. Vegan or carnivore, barbecues can accommodate many people’s palates. Barbecues can range from solitary events to get-togethers. For those who have more leisure, camping is a surefire way to unwind and entertain yourself. From the sedentary to the active, camping should be appealing to almost anyone.

THE RISE OF FEMALE SUPERHEROES BY LIZZY PALMQUIST

Superheroes embody strength, bravery and morality in ways that inspire others to enact the same qualities in their own lives. We idolize them, and in return, they present us with the potential we all have to do good in the world. Sometimes, it seems as though that potential is only awarded to a certain type of superhero, namely male ones. Captain America and Superman are portrayed as the standard for what a hero can be. But can’t girls be heroes too? With the rise of female representation as superheroes, the answer seems to be yes. Heroes such as Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman are challenging how we define heroes. e representation these heroines provide is essential for children and young adults as they develop beliefs about themselves and their potential. One example of how the lack of female representation in movies has affected female viewers is the emotional reactions that many experienced during fight scenes in Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman (2017). Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) embodied the fictional role model that many women lacked growing up. e strength and bravery she showcased during fight scenes left tears in the eyes of many women who attended screenings of the film, including Meredith Woerner, a writer for the Los Angeles Times.

“Witnessing a woman hold the field, and the camera, for that long blew open an arguably monotonous genre,” wrote Woerner in her 2017 article. “We didn’t need a computer-generated tree or a sassy raccoon to change the superhero game; what we needed was a woman.” Wonder Woman was the first female-led superhero movie that had debuted since 2005. While other hero movies like e Avengers franchise and Suicide Squad have featured heroines, their roles were minor in comparison with their male counterparts. In addition, the directors of these movies spent more time exploiting the sexuality of their female characters than playing up their superhuman abilities. While it might have been funny for some to see Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) changing in the back of a moving car in Iron Man 2 while being gawked at by the driver, it was not exactly her most empowering moment. e introduction of Captain Marvel in 2019 to the Marvel Cinematic Universe stepped away from the lackluster portrayal of heroines like Black Widow by the franchise. Like Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) was portrayed not as a side-kick, but a leader meant to save the Avengers from the destruction anos caused in Infinity War. She was also depicted as one of the most powerful heroes that

the franchise had seen, surpassing lead characters Captain America and Iron Man with her abilities. As Marvel’s first female-led stand-alone movie, fans have been praising its creation of Captain Marvel as a role model. “#Captain Marvel is pure joy,” tweeted Entertainment Weekly’s Devan Coggan. “I cannot wait for the generation of little girls who will grow up with Carol Danvers as a hero.” Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel gave audiences the empowering female leads they had long been waiting for. But it is still not enough. Heroines deserve as much screen time and recognition as their male counterparts. With women making up 46.67 percent of comic fans, it only makes sense to incorporate more female-led movies into comic franchises. From superheroes, we learn to be brave, strong, kind and selfless. If heroines are not given the proper representation by their franchises, then they are sending the message that their female fan base does not have the potential to exhibit these qualities. Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel taught us that women can be heroes in a world that does not expect much from them. With that knowledge, comic franchises should produce more female-led content that women can connect with and feel empowered by.

DUCKS HAVE 1 OPPORTUNITY AT TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS BY AUGUST HOWELL • TWITTER @HOWELL_AUGUST For the first time since 2012, the NCAA Division-1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships will not be held at Hayward Field. Oregon has 30 entries for the championship meet in Austin, Texas, at Mike A. Myers Stadium, which runs from June 5-8. With 15 men and 15 women entered, both squads will be in contention for a national title. Oregon’s complete list of qualifiers can be found here. On the men’s side, Texas Tech leads the nation with 19 entries, with 10 of their athletes ranked top10 in their respective events. Florida and LSU are not far behind with 16 and 13 entries, respectively. Meanwhile, Oregon has three athletes ranked in the top-3 overall. With the women, Arkansas is the frontrunner with 17 entries. USC has 13 entries, and Florida State has 11. ough the Ducks have many entries in the competition, the pre-championships rankings have the men and women ranked at sixth and eighth, respectively. Oregon boasts five throwers from various disciplines, including Max Lydum (hammer), Kiana PA G E 1 4

Phelps (discus), Keira McCarrell (javelin), Jackson VanVuren and John Nizich (javelin). Lydum — a redshirt junior who secured the 12th and final qualifying spot at the west regional meet — was ecstatic to know he made his first outdoor championship roster. He is especially glad to have multiple throwers on the championship roster after Oregon qualified just two for the final meet last season. “Everything individual is about contributing to that team effort,” Lydum said. “As a throws group, we think we can do that, and I think I can do that as well.” Cravon Gillespie and Oraine Palmer will race the 100 and 200 meters, as well as the 4x100-meter relay. Gillespie in particular is expected to be a frontrunner for at least one title and has top-10 times in both individual sprint events. Eric Edwards Jr., one of two freshman qualifiers, will race the 110-meter hurdles, along with Joseph Anderson. Jessica Hull and Reed Brown are the only Ducks racing the 1,500 meters. Hull will be looking to repeat as the event champion. Cooper Teare, fresh

off his win at the Pac-12 championships, will race the 5,000 meters. Several other Pac-12 champions will race as well, including Max Vollmer in the decathlon and Orwin Emilien in the 400 meters. Venessa D’Arpino has competed on the national stage before as part of the 4x400-meter relay team. But after setting a lifetime best of 52.22 seconds for 400 meters at the west regional meet, the senior finally earned an individual entry and will compete with her teammates, Hannah Waller and Briyahna DesRosiers. All three will compete in both relays as well. While D’Arpino likes the drama and thrill of the relay, she said she was glad to secure an individual entry. “Being a part of the relay and having that opportunity really set the tone for me this year of wanting to get there individually and prove that I’m good enough to be there,” D’Arpino said. “We got more girls and guys into the NCAA than I think a lot of us were projected,” D’Arpino said. “We’ve put in all the work and now it’s time to do the dance.”

news business, most of that at the CBS affiliate in Portland, anchoring and reporting. Now, Shirley is a PR consultant, writer and speaking coach. What did your path look like from UO to where you are now? For someone who grew up annoyingly curious, always asking questions, college and the SOJC were like a big playground for me to learn. I was lucky to get some life-changing advice, for which I’m still so grateful. First, former ABC affiliate reporter Cathy Kiyomura encouraged me to be fearless and not to worry about competition and instead to compete with myself. She also stressed the most important thing a journalism student must do: get internships, real job experience before you graduate and not wait to do that your senior year. Second, former Register Guard reporter/editor and UO newspaper instructor Mike Thoele, assigned me to interview him and his wife. He pushed me to dig deep and ask really good questions. Third to give me great advice was John Doyle, the quintessential old-school, tough news director at Eugene’s KVAL. Mr. Doyle was my first “news dad.” I attended a seminar where Mr. Doyle was speaking, with the sole motivation to nab an internship. After his talk, I went up to talk with him and he advised me to get my resume (at the time I thought, “What resume?”) and then drive up to KVAL for an interview. It turned into a year-long internship: ripping wire copy, writing small stories and eventually covering stories and actually anchoring the weekend news. Before I graduated I had internship experience, a solid resume and a job. KVAL hired me the day I graduated and then later I got a job at KOIN-TV in Portland where I worked for nearly 20 years.
