“As Oregon looms over Washington State, so does their former coach” by Jack Aaron

Summary: Nujabes, often referred to as The Father of Lo-fi, seriously changed the game when he entered the music world in 1995 as a record store owner. His passion for music did not stop at collecting it; the Japanese producer went on to make some of the most memorable beats of the early 2000s. He would often dig deep through vinyl crates of hip hop, soul and jazz genres that he sampled into dancy or relaxing beats. Nujabes’ hunger for new sound inspired amazing collaborations such as his work with Fat Jon on the soundtrack for the anime called “Samurai Champloo.” A DJ at KWVA, UO’s student-run radio station, tells me that his music helps you untangle your thought process and what college student couldn’t use that?

Recommended by: DJ Taco Supreme. “He has this ability to make something sound very ethereal and floaty, almost like you’re on a cloud,” DJ Taco Supreme said.

FRATERNITY AND SORORITY LIFE

HIRES 2 NEW ASSISTANT DIRECTORS

UO hired two new assistant directors of Fraternity and Sorority Life want to focus on alumni outreach, recruitment structuring and academic support.

BY RUBY ABUHAJLEH

The University of Oregon’s Fraternity and Sorority Life hired two new staff members to serve as assistant directors. Previously, FSL only had three staff members for 16 fraternities and 11 sororities.

The director of FSL since 2017, Caitlin Roberts has spent four months searching for new hires to fill these positions, she said.

Assistant directors counter day-to-day challenges, teach about responsibility and work with each executive board of chapters and improve the function of FSL, Roberts said.

Previously, two members of FSL’s had left, and it had to cut back on some programming, Roberts said.

“We were unable to do some things that we typically do. It was a new adventure, but I was able to refocus and establish my vision for the community, and where we want to take UO FSL,” Roberts said.

Throughout the summer, Roberts conducted interviews for potential delegates. Eventually, she decided to hire Leo Serrato and Drelin Julkes at the end of July.

Serrato is coming from Indiana University, where he worked as assistant director of conduct and compliance in FSL. Serrato will be in charge of the Interfraternity Council and honorary society. IFC is the body of all fraternities on campus.

“Wherever I go, I want my community that I’m working with to be the best. We are going to work to get this community to be premier in the fraternity and sorority realm,” Serrato said. “I’m so happy I get to work with IFC because my

goal is to make them absolutely amazing.”

Julkes worked as a graduate assistant for the diversity center prior to working as a graduate assistant to FSL at Mississippi State University. Julkes will be focusing on the Panhellenic Association, Multicultural Greek Council and National PanHellenic Council — which are historically Black fraternities and sororities.

“I’m huge on diversity, equity and inclusion and justice, so making sure that people are accepted into the different places that typically you wouldn’t see happen,” Julkes said. “I just want to make sure as a community, we are staying accessible to different people that may not think [FSL] is a forefront for student involvement.”

Serrato and Julkes hope to work on alumni outreach, recruitment structuring and academic support to the students involved.

“Both of them are just so positive and enthusiastic, and share my vision for making us the best community in the country, and are really ready to put in the work to do that,” Roberts said. “We don’t want to have to say, ‘No we can’t do that.’ We want to say, ‘Let’s explore that idea.’”

Fall IFC recruitment is taking place Sept. 27 to Oct. 9. Fall PHC recruitment is from Oct. 6 to 11. All three staff members believe UO will see record numbers of involvement in Greek life this year, they said.

“As fraternity and sorority advisors, we are not only there to help support you in the social aspect that you typically see with fraternities and sororities, but also there to support you through your personal professional journey as well,” Julkes said.

Two Starbucks employees, James Martin from W11th and Jake LaMourie from 29th and Willamette, were fired by Starbucks management on Monday, Aug. 26. Both employees have been key organizers with the Eugene Starbucks unions, and their firings come in the wake of weeks of demonstrations against Starbucks’ union-busting tactics.

Martin has been working at Starbucks locations for 10 years and has spent seven years at the W 11th and Acorn location in Eugene. He’s a supervisor, meaning he holds a key to the store and is responsible for making sure operations are running smoothly. Martin’s also been active with the Eugene stores’ efforts to bargain union contracts with Starbucks.

On Wednesday, Aug. 24, Martin and other employees on shift at the time went on strike midway through their shifts.

“We had already started planning walkout

I told the district manager this, the one who fired me, and he just didn’t care. It’s like he had no remorse for our customers or our partners.”

strikes from the beginning,” Martin said. “We kind of learned from the mistakes of Buffalo and Memphis, and specifically the Memphis Seven.”

The Memphis Seven are a group of Starbucks employees who, even after their firing, organized the unionization of their Tennessee store in February. The Seven technically broke company policy by entering their store after operating hours during a demonstration, which ultimately led to their dismissals.

“Our idea was, if we’re going to do a walkout, we’re going to do everything right,” blank said.

Once he heard from the union lawyer that the baristas were safe to walk out, Martin alerted the customers in the store lobby and the drive-thru lane that the employees at this store were about to stage a walk-out. Martin said the customers were understanding and cleared out immediately.

Martin was unable to locate the store manager to alert her that he was going to be locking up the store. Starbucks company policy requires that in the event that a store closes its doors during regular operating hours, a keyholder needs to notify the store manager and the district manager, and wait for approval from each of them before locking up. Since the store manager was not on the premises and was not responding to phone calls, Martin said he had no choice but to lock the store anyway.

Martin said his rationale for locking the store

and setting up the barrier in the drive-thru lane was to protect the employees who had decided to not strike and keep working. If Martin hadn’t locked the front door and blocked the drivethru lane, those few employees who did not go on strike would be required to do the workload of an entire store by themselves.

“I told the district manager this, the one who fired me, and he just didn’t care,” Martin said. “It’s like he had no remorse for our customers or our partners.”

When asked to comment about the incident that led Martin to be terminated, the manager of the W 11th store declined to comment and directed the Daily Emerald to an automated Partner Relations helpline.

The National Labor Relations Board alleged last week that Starbucks illegally withheld wage increases and benefits from their thousands of unionized employees. The NLRB is calling for Starbucks to back-pay their employees.

Howard Schultz, Starbucks’ largely antiunion former CEO and current interim CEO, announced his successor last week as Laxman Narasimhan, CEO of Reckitt Benckiser, the makers of products like Clearasil and Lysol. Hired in 2019, Narasimhan was known as a “turnaround agent” for Reckitt, firing senior executives and ending brand lines in order to improve the company’s financial position, which he did end up succeeding at. Not much is known yet about Narasimhan’s union stance.

OPINION

BYRD: THE SKIES ARE SMOKEY, OUR ACCEPTANCE IS MURKY

The smell of fire thickly covers the atmosphere as the sun rises. People on the streets continue their morning commute, some suiting up with masks to protect their lungs from the apocalyptic air. While the sun sets, a yellow haze disrupts a serendipitous evening glow. Despite these small discrepancies from everyday life, our societal cloud of acceptance hangs lower than any barrage of smoke.

Fires in the United States have tripled in frequency over the last 20 years. Yet, as smoke and haze become frequent occurrences during the summer months, I have not noticed a strong response in the direction of environmental action. Instead, I have seen moderate language about the atmosphere’s state that edges on carelessness.

On Twitter, the keywords “Eugene” and “smoke” bring up a selection of responses. Some simply state the conditions of Eugene with an attached picture, while others express distress about the conditions. However, mixed into these responses are jokes about Eugene’s cannabis use, or they refer to the red smokey sun as a “bonus” from wildfires.

In one of the most visible environmental crises, individuals are still ignorant of the hazardous circumstances around us. Similar to a coral’s neon glow used as a final effort for survival, our hazy skies are visibly calling out to us that same prayer for vitality. Yet we have created a barrier between our existence and our environment. I blame this dehumanization on social media.

BY BEATRICE BYRD

While scrolling through endless threads of wildfire acknowledgment, one thing became abundantly clear: we have removed ourselves from real experiences. When we look at the upper atmosphere through the eyes and perspectives of someone else, we create an impenetrable wall between us and the actual state of our world.

Attempting to replicate a sorrowful experience while only being given the tools of media shared by strangers is impossible. Mass sharing can be helpful when drawing attention to large-scale events, but relying on that form of communication removes personal connections to our world and environment.

In other aspects, those posting smoke-filled views gain initiative from their followers. They are not simply sharing content in relation to the dramatic changes we see around us. Social media demands that its participants feel motivated by the reactions of others. Intentionality with environmental crises is crucial. And certain forms of social media outlets —

due to their performance-based conditions — detract from a genuine effort of help.

From my understanding, our skies will continue to have an annual haziness with air quality changing cataclysmically. While it’s difficult to know what the proper course of action will be in the future, the first step is clear: we must lose our nation’s ignorance.

If a burning red sun and descending clouds of hazardously-yellow smoke can’t hold the community’s attention and compassion, nothing will. I’m tired of waking up to the smell of fire only to receive nonchalant comments about the color of the sky. The settling of the smoke has become a regular occurrence. But we cannot treat it as a new form of normality. Adaptability is important, but we must not adapt to a state in which our world suffers greatly.

OPINION: With another year of smoky skies, a normalization of the current conditions sweeps communities. A lack of compassion for our environment is scary and infuriating.

DAVID PETERSON’S

ASCENT FROM OREGON TO MLB

BY: MOJO HILL

David Peterson’s dream school was Cal State Fullerton. He wanted to play for George Horton, who led the Titans to six College World Series appearances, including one championship.

It didn’t work out that way. When the Oregon Ducks reinstated their baseball program in 2009, they brought on Horton as their new head coach. Horton and the Ducks went 14-42 in their debut season, including a miserable 4-23 in Pac-12 play.

It was an assistant coach who first noticed Peterson — a tall, skinny left-hander out of high school in Colorado. This coach recommended Peterson to Horton, then recruited him to join the rebuilding Oregon program. That coach was Mark Wasikowski, who these days is Oregon’s beloved head man.

Peterson wound up playing for Horton after all, but in green and yellow rather than orange and navy blue. He was immediately inserted into Oregon’s starting rotation. He found his footing as a sophomore in 2016, when he posted a 3.63 ERA in 13 starts. That blossomed into a dominant junior campaign, when he put up a 2.51 ERA and struck out a school record 20 batters in a game.

“It was interesting that I was able to play for [Horton], and it was an absolute pleasure to play for him,” Peterson said. “To learn from someone that has so much experience and had so much success in college baseball. I was very fortunate for the three years that I got to play for him.”

Peterson’s college success led to him being picked in the first round of the 2017 MLB draft by the New York Mets, with whom he’s gone on to a major league career. At 27 years old, Peterson is having the best season of his professional life, helping the Mets to one of the best records in baseball. Peterson, along with a batch of fellow alumni, continue to

represent their alma mater at the highest level.

While Peterson has had to squeeze himself into a crowded Mets roster, he’s performed when called upon. In 24 appearances for the Mets, including 19 starts, he owns a 3.91 ERA in 101 1/3 innings.

“I know I’m gonna get my number called. I know there’s gonna be a spot for me here and there,” Peterson said. “It may not be scripted like everybody else, but when Buck [Showalter] decides to give me the ball, I need to be ready, and I need to be able to produce.”

A heavily sinker ball pitcher at Oregon, Peterson has reinvented himself. He’s throwing his four-seam fastball harder and more often than ever, leading to the 15thhighest strikeout rate of any pitcher in the majors. Rigorous arm care routines and workout regimens have allowed Peterson to reach the full height of his potential in games.

“I was able, in college, to have a summer out of the bullpen where I touched 98,” Peterson said. “So I kind of knew it was in there. It was just a matter of getting my body in the right place to tap into the rest of the velocity that’s in there.”

Peterson now relies much less on his sinker, becoming a power pitcher with a slider that’s taken great strides as well. He’s increased his slider usage and turned it into a much sharper pitch, one which produces a plethora of swings and misses.

“I’m still using the same grip that I have since high school,” Peterson said. “I think some of it is just naturally the way my body is, the way my mechanics have changed over time. It’s transitioned from this sweeping slider that worked in college to more of a firmer, sharp slider.”

In college, Peterson had a junior season for the ages. He struck out 12.1 batters per nine innings while walking only 1.3, and

The former Oregon lefty is proving his worth on one of the best teams in baseball.

his 20-strikeout game made national headlines. Peterson recalls it starting like any ordinary day. As he mowed down opposing hitters, he didn’t even realize how many strikeouts he was accumulating.

“That one’ll stick with me forever,” he said. “I wanted to have that complete game while I was at Oregon, and so it was more the complete game [that] was on my mind. And then when it was done… it was really cool. I had some family there, and some friends from back home who I was able to share that day with. It was a lot of fun.”

Wasikowski, meanwhile, didn’t get to be there for Peterson’s masterclass, as that was the year he became Purdue’s head baseball coach.

“We saw what we were missing when he left,” Peterson said. “But we also saw how good of a coach he was. We knew it when we played for him, but when he went off to Purdue and had the success that he did, it was really cool.”

When Horton stepped away in 2019, Peterson said he and some other alumni wrote an email advising that Wasikowski be one of the top candidates for the job.

“I think it shows the kind of respect that Coach Waz gets from his players,” Peterson said. “He goes about his business the right way. He’s trying to get the best out of you. He cares about you as a baseball player, but more importantly, as a person.”

Wasikowski was subsequently hired in June

2019, returning to Oregon as its new head coach. His first two full seasons have been an enormous success, leading the team to a regional both years.

“Not only did we as alumni want him to come back and see what he could do with the position, but it seemed like he wanted to have that reunion and be able to come back,” Peterson said. “I think he always had a strong vision for the program when he was an assistant coach, and the way he recruited and the way he ran practices.”

While the era of Peterson playing for Wasikowski is over, he now gets to play for renowned MLB manager Buck Showalter. He’s on a team with superstars such as Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, a group he’s gotten to learn from as they compete in a pennant race.

“It’s been fun to really see a lot of different perspectives and ways the guys go about their business,” Peterson said. “As a younger guy, in my first couple years really trying to find what works for me, taking things from [Scherzer], taking things from [deGrom], taking things from whoever it is, and putting my own puzzle together of what makes me the best pitcher I can be.”

By luck of the draw, fellow Ducks Stephen Nogosek and Jake Reed have played for the Mets this year as well, along with other Ducks around baseball. Lefties Tyler Anderson and Cole Irvin are

having great major league seasons, while Spencer Steer and Ryne Nelson recently dazzled in their debuts. That’s to name just a few of the former Ducks playing affiliated baseball, nine of whom have appeared in MLB this year.

“It’s awesome. I think we all look at that as our own little group of guys that went to Oregon that are doing it in the big leagues,” Peterson said. “You pull for those guys… When we’re playing each other, we’re gonna give it our best shot. We want to do well for our team, but it is fun to have those guys that came from the same place as you that are doing well and having success.”

Peterson has gone on to bigger things, but he still watches the Oregon program from afar. The Ducks have rapidly built national prominence and turned into a factory that churns out professional baseball players.

“It’s been a lot of fun to watch them, what [Wasikowski]’s done with the program, and some of the coaches that he has there — guys I played for in Coach [Jack] Marder,” Peterson said. “The three years I had there, I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. It was a very special time in my life. I’ve got lifelong friends and bonds that I’ll have forever. It’s been fun to say that I went to the University of Oregon.”

TAPIA’S TAKE:

WHY AREN’T WE TALKING ABOUT MODERN DAY SLAVERY?

BY CAITLIN TAPIA

Breaking news: “The Little Mermaid” has been trending on Twitter in the past few weeks due to controversies over Halle Bailey, a woman of color cast as Ariel.

It seems as though every time I open my phone someone complains about it or counters the pointless argument. However, as I was mindlessly scrolling through my feed the other day, an eye-catching headline about another topic appeared. I initially brushed it off, but I was bored and figured it would give me something to do for a few minutes. That’s when I quickly learned of the somber reality that is modern day slavery.

On Sept. 12, the International Labour Organization published a report regarding the global estimates of modern slavery. In this report, it was found that as of 2021, there are 50 million people globally living under modern slavery –– a 9.3 million jump since the previous report in 2016.

Grace Forrest, founding director of Walk Free, defines modern slavery in a podcast about the ILO report: “it is the systematic removal of a person’s freedom where one person is exploited by another or by a company for personal or financial gain.” This includes forced labor and marriage, commercial sexual exploitation, human trafficking, slavery-like practices and the worst forms of child labor.

Had I not clicked on the short tagline, I would have missed this issue completely. That’s a problem. We overlook modern day slavery so easily because it is convenient for us, and we don’t want to take responsibility. This is the conversation we need to have.

One of the most important things to address is that this is not some foreign, developing country issue. Modern day slavery continues to exist in the United States, often in the form of human trafficking and forced labor.

According to the Global Slavery Index, in 2016, there were an estimated 403,000 people living in a condition of modern slavery in the United States. However, federal privacy laws prevent agencies from creating one cumulative set of data.

Regardless of the government’s inefficiencies, some of the responsibility falls on its citizens in the form of political knowledge and participation.

On Nov. 8, a measure to remove slavery from the Oregon state constitution will be put to the vote. That’s right. It is still within Oregon’s — as well as four other states’ — constitution to allow slavery as a punishment for a crime.

The Vera Institute of Justice reports incarcerated people work for little to no wages: “Estimates suggest that a minimum of $2 billion and as much as $14 billion a year in wages is stolen from incarcerated people, to the enrichment of private companies, state-owned entities and correctional agencies.”

Companies are stealing people’s wages just because they are incarcerated. But what does having a conviction have to do with the removal of people’s

natural human rights? When did we decide that, if you committed a crime, it is okay to treat you as “other”: not worthy of dignity, respect or the freedom to think and choose for yourself?

Modern day slavery is a man made problem fueled by persisting slavery and the structural inequality of many economic sectors. It’s time to talk about it, despite our own discomfort. It’s time to change it, despite our unwillingness to do so.

We seem to care — overwhelmingly so — about minorly controversial subjects online. But these subjects have now taken over in importance compared to real issues that need addressing.

SPICE UP HAPPY HOUR WITH 3 WINE INSPIRED DRINKS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

BY LAUREN LEONE • TWITTER @LAUREN_NICOLEL

This past summer, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel across the world where I was introduced to so many different cultures. I got to eat and drink my way through Spain and Portugal and came across some deliciouslyrefreshing beverages that I’ve enjoyed making at home.

If you enjoy mixed drinks and are wanting to switch it up, look no further. I have three wine mixed drinks that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

TINTO DE VERANO

Tinto de Verano, which translates to “summer red wine,” is a mixed drink composed of red wine and lemon soda that is absolutely refreshing and delicious. Similar to a sangria or an alcoholic fruit punch, Tinto de Veranos is a sweet and fruity drink. I drank these like water during my six week stay in Spain and was sure to introduce them to my family when they came to visit me. Safe to say it was love at first sip.

If you’re looking to spice up your Tintos, feel free to add a splash of rum or vermouth for an extra kick. However, be warned. Tintos may just be too easy to drink because they will catch up on you after one or two, and a siesta may be in order.

Ingredients:

Red wine

Any young or fruity red wine will do! I recommend Pinot Noir or any red wine you enjoy.

Lemon soda

Lemon Fanta is what’s commonly used in Spain, but mixing lemonade and soda water will do the trick!

Citrus

Adding orange and lemon slices will brighten your Tintos and bring out some freshness.

Vermouth

An optional addition to your Tintos if you’re looking for an extra kick.

Instructions:

Fill up a large pitcher with ice. Pour an entire bottle of your preferred red wine into your pitcher.

Fill the rest of your pitcher with lemon soda or any alternatives.

Add in your sliced citrus for garnish.

Pour in some vermouth if you so desire and give everything a nice stir. Pour, sip and enjoy!

PORTO TONICO

Just as Tinto de Verano is the drink of Spain, Porto Tonico is the drink of

Portugal. Porto Tonicos are a light and refreshing mixed drink that is incredibly popular throughout Portugal and are often sipped during lunch and dinner. This slightly sweet mixed drink is made using Port wine, tonic water and perhaps some mint or orange slices for garnish.

Port wine, which originates from Oporto, Portugal, is typically a dessert wine and is made as a red and a white wine. There are many different ways to enjoy Port wine, and I had my fair share of red and white Porto tonicos throughout my week-long exploration of Portugal.

Ingredients:

Port wine

Either red or white, depending on your personal preference.

Tonic water

Orange Slices

Mint Instructions:

In a glass, pour one part Port wine and two parts tonic water for however much is desired.

Garnish with orange slices and mint. Sip and enjoy!

KALIMOTXO

All I have to say is don’t knock it ‘til you try it. A Kalimotxo, or Calimocho, which originated in the Basque region of Spain, is a drink made up of red wine and Coca-Cola. I can see you now, eyes wide with an expression of horror on your face. Kalimotxos are a popular drink in Spain and are often sipped between lunch and dinner. Pair this drink with some bread, olives and a board of cheese and voila: heaven.

This combo is truly something special. With a cheap red wine and a nice bottle of Coke, you could see what all the hype in Spain is about. I didn’t believe it ‘til I tried it. This drink is truly unique, but it somehow works as a refreshing and delicious beverage.

Ingredients:

Red wine

Any cheap red wine will work perfectly for this mixed drink.

Coca-Cola

Instructions:

Fill up your pitcher or glass with ice.

Fill your glass halfway with red wine, and the other half with Coke. Stir, sip and enjoy!
