Zombies at Oregon State University.

HvZ “is a week long, 24/7 game of moderated tag,” according to the OSU website, osundead. com. For one week, humans struggle to retain their humanity as they lose their comrades to the zombie horde, one by one.

It begins with two original zombies, or OZs. The OZs are essentially spies during the first two days of the game. Regular zombies have to wear their HvZ bands around their foreheads while they’re active, but OZs look and act human.

This year’s OZs have set a record for the most tags during the OZ period.

“This game was the first time the OZs almost

reached the kill cap,” said Ludwig Avendano, a second-year computer science major and a moderator.

Heather Shinsel is one of two OZs this session who contributed to the record.

Shinsel, a sophomore majoring in interior design, business management and sustainability, matched the record of 18 tags set by Pieter Waldenmaier, a Ph.D. student in organic chemistry and a game moderator.

It’s Shinsel’s third game of HvZ. Shinsel’s favorite OZ tactic was using a friend to make people believe she was nonthreatening.

Commuters use parking in North Corvallis residential areas to avoid parking at OSU

Cars park in the four-hour parking zone on 27th Street.

As commuters head toward the north side of campus, many halt a few blocks short in order to find a place to park for the day.

“People tend to come in around 11 or noon each day and are gone by the time I get home every evening,” said Savannah Gentry, a senior in zoology who lives just northwest of campus. “Sometimes when I leave for the day, I’ll come back and someone is parked in my spot.”

This makes finding a space more difficult for Gentry and her three roommates.

“I used to park by Callahan, but they took that option away,” said Corrie Racanelli, a third-year student in communication. “Now people flood northtown because it’s harder to park at OSU.” Racanelli routinely parks near Chintimini Park because of its proximity to campus and fee-free parking. It also avoids the difficulties associated with the situation on campus, according to Racanelli.

Parking in residential areas may be more convenient, but there are potential consequences associated with relative ease of parking off-campus. The city of Corvallis has taken notice of the issue and is addressing See PARKING | page 4

Friday, October 24 Stolen property returned A parole and probation sergeant contacted the Benton County Sheriffs Office Friday regarding a man there who they believed had a warrant out for his arrest.

Once an officer arrived on the scene, they were able to identify the man and confirm the warrant. According to BCSO logs, while arresting the man, they found an iPhone in his possession. The man admitted it was not his, but that he had found it earlier that morning. Officers arrested the man for his warrant as well as theft in the second degree (theft of lost or mislaid property) and were able to contact the owner of the phone and return her property.

Gasoline theft A citizen reported to the BCSO that he’d seen an unknown man attempting to siphon gasoline from the citizen’s vehicle around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.

According to police reports, the citizen said that once the man realized he was noticed, the thief ran off. The citizen estimated the damages to be about $10.

the man driving a car had attempted to change lanes while a motorcyclist was driving in the lane next to him. This reportedly forced the motorcyclist to take “evasive actions” resulting in a minor accident. Officers cited the driver of the car for performing an unsafe lane change and released both parties.

Resisting arrest Two CPD officers provided backup for two parole and probation deputies who were reportedly having difficulty bringing in a woman who had violated her probation. According to CPD logs, when the officers and deputies attempted to take her into custody for her violation, she attempted to pull away from the two officers and throw herself onto the ground. Officers report that after being placed in handcuffs, she kicked one officer in the shin while he was trying to place her in their patrol vehicle and then spit in two officers’ faces. In addition to her probation violation, the officers then charged the woman with resisting arrest, attempted assault on a public safety officer and aggravated assault.

Traffic stop for warrant arrest A BCSO officer pulled over a vehicle after reportedly recognizing one of the car’s passengers as having multiple warrants out for his arrest. After stopping the vehicle, the officer confirmed the passenger’s identity as well as his seven warrants. The officer was able to bring the man into custody at the Benton County Jail where he was held for his warrants as well as unlawful possession of methamphetamine.

Police union on Lane 911 center: ‘Our employees are suffering’

By Chelsea Gorrow THE REGISTER-GUARD

EUGENE — The Central Lane 911 Communications Center is understaffed, oversupervised and, overall, in sad shape.

So says the police union representing the center’s employees.

And those in charge say they don’t necessarily disagree.

But moves are being made to correct the problems, said Rob Poirier, the 911 center’s program manager. Two new dispatchers were hired earlier this month, and 27 candidates were interviewed last week for six or more open positions, he said. However, over the weekend, two more dispatchers submitted their twoweek notices, bringing the total to seven departures thus far this year alone.

Until new employees are trained and all the spots are filled, the center’s workers will continue to clock as many as 70 hours per week in order to continue handling 911 calls for help.

“Our employees are suffer-

improve 911 center employees’ working conditions. Poirier said that idea is under consideration by city officials.

Despite union officials’ assertions about overworked 911 dispatchers, however, Poirier said he does not believe there’s any immediate threat to public safety.

“I can only account for the hours employees are at work, and there is a limit on the hours they can work,” he said. “It doesn’t mean I don’t think this is a situation that needs to be addressed, but we have a system of checks and balances in place.”

Mayor Kitty Piercy said she’s been advised by the city attorney not to comment on the issues raised by Willis because they are matters to be bargained.

The 911 center is operated

by Eugene police and located on West Second Avenue in west Eugene. It dispatches for the city’s department as well as 22 fire agencies in the county. The dispatch center also handles nonemergency 911 calls and calls

ing — they have been suffering for years,” then-union president Patrick Willis asserted in a letter he sent earlier this month to the mayor, City Council and city manager. The letter was Willis’ last order of business before passing the torch to new union president Ali Anderson, who is a 911 center employee.

“These same employees are expected to make life-and-death decisions, save lives and direct emergency resources in highstress situations,” Willis said in his letter. “These are million-dollar decisions that you are asking human beings to make when they are running on empty from a lack of rest and reprieve.”

Willis said the 911 center “has become a money pit for the taxpayers” because the city pays so much in overtime to the center’s employees, sometimes at a rate of double the hourly pay.

Willis also asked in his letter that the city hire an outside consultant to evaluate and make recommendations on how to

for animal control.

The center operates on an annual budget of $7.5 million.

In the last fiscal year, the center was slightly over budget in its overtime pay. The department paid $700,241 in overtime to its employees, while $698,735 had been budgeted for that expense, Poirier said.

A total of 37 non-management employees work at the 911 center, Poirier said. That number will soon drop to 35, when the two employees who recently gave their notice leave.

There are three levels of nonmanagement employees at the center, from call-takers to senior dispatchers, who earn between $44,000 and $66,000 annually, not including overtime or benefits.

Poirier said the police department and city are working to address concerns at the center.

“We know we have staffing issues and we’re working on trying to improve our recruitment and retention,” he said.

Willis said the center has long experienced a high turnover rate, the result of mental stress and sleep deprivation that employees face when working a large amount of overtime. He said the turnover rate at the center is “significantly higher” than at comparable agencies.

Willis and others, however, were unable to cite turnover rates at other agencies. Anderson said the Eugene-based 911 center saw eight employees leave last year, 13 in 2012 and 12 in 2011 — in addition to the seven who have left or plan to leave so far this year.

Seven supervisors and three managers also work at the dispatch center. Willis contends that’s too many for such a small pool of employees, with a workermanager ratio of less than 4:1.

Willis said the current staffing situation is “simply not sustainable.”

Poirier acknowledged that, on rare occasions, an employee may reach 70 hours in a week, but that would be partially voluntary because an employee is never forced to come in on his or her day off, he said.

The 911 center generally pays employees time-and-a-half for every overtime hour worked but in some instances pays double time, Poirier said.

Poirier said the city is making its best effort to fill the vacant positions. But he added that many or most job candidates may not meet the 911 center’s job qualifications.

“We can’t just hire (unqualified) people to fill positions. We need to hire the right people,” he said.

There are at least six open positions that are needing to be filled, he said. Anderson said she believes the number is closer to nine.

All eyes on Oregon as voters decide fate of GMO labeling SALEM — On Nov. 4, in the most expensive ballot measurecampaign in Oregon history, voters will decide whether to force food manufacturers to label their products that contain genetically modified ingredientssold in the state.

If successful, Oregon would be the first in the nation to pass a labeling law at the ballot box.

It’s the second time the issue has been on the ballot in Oregon, and the fourth time nationwide. Similar measures failed in Oregon in 2002, California in 2012 and Washington in 2013.

Last year, the Connecticut and Maine legislatures passed labeling laws, but they won’t go into effect unless neighboring states also do so. More recently, the Vermont legislature approved a labeling bill, but it’s being challenged in court.

Genetically modified ingredi-

ents are in most processed foods containing soy, corn or sugar.

The only way for consumers to know whether packaged food contains GMOs is to buy products labeled organic or with the independent Non GMO Project label.

The measure’s proponents say consumers have the right to know how their food was produced.

Most GMO plants are bred to tolerate high doses of pesticides, they say. “The public’s right to have information to make informed decisions about the food they buy should take precedence over the efforts of agribusiness,� said Sandeep Kaushik, spokesman for the Yes on Measure 92 campaign.

The requirement won’t be a burden for manufacturers, which already label GMOs in 64 other countries, proponents say. “Prices did not go up in those countries. Markets weren’t dis-

rupted. Farmers weren’t hurt,�

Kaushik said. “U.S. food companies continue to sell their products in those countries and comply with labeling laws.�

Opponents argue that labeling will drive up grocery prices and confuse consumers by implying that the food is unsafe.

Oregon’s measure is poorly written and misleading, said Colin Cochran, a spokesman for the No on 92 Coalition.

That’s because food sold in restaurants or delis is exempt.

So is alcohol. And meat or milk from animals fed with GMOs wouldn’t have to be labeled. “Their entire premise is that this will give people information about their food choices,�

Cochran said. “This just doesn’t.�

The measure also would be costly to state government, Cochran said.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon Health Authority would be charged with enforcement. The state has esti-

mated start-up costs at $550,00 to $600,000.

It’s uncertain what the full economic impact would be on the state. “The more people learn about Measure 92, the less they like it,�

Cochran said.

Last week, the campaign officially became the most expensive in Oregon history, withmore than $22 million raised by Oct. 24.

It also set a record for the most spent by one side in a campaign.

Opponents have raised $16.3 million, while supporters have raised $6.5 million.

And it logged the biggest single contribution in state history – a $4.46 million donation from DuPont Pioneer to opponents. “We’ve known from the beginning that we were going to be vastly outspent by the other side,� Kaushik said. “That clearly is going to be the case here.�

Total fundraising still is less than the $30.4 million raised in

It’s that kind of feedback that led Zenger Farm’s Assistant Farm Manager Bryan Allan to wonder if access to their CSA could be expanded into a sort of doctor-prescribed service for people struggling with diabetes, heart disease and other ailments known to be associated with poor diets. “In general, people’s comments are about their health,� Allan says of CSA participants.

As part of a larger grant from the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the farm will begin to sign people up beginning in June 2015. Doctors at each health institution will select a group of 20 patients to “prescribe� a CSA share in the hopes that it will improve their health. Patients will still have to pay for the food themselves and pick it up each week, but organizers are hoping that the official guidance will help turn thoughts to action. “A prescription is really just an authority giving you a recommendation,� Allan says, noting that a suggestion in a health center feels different than one at a grocery store. “It’s all of these intangible aspects that hopefully will have the impact we are hoping for.�

Oral birth control may be option for women with HIV THE DAILY BAROMETER

Some oral contraceptives may work for women with HIV, according to an Oregon State University press release that covered the study, which was released in the journal Contraception.

“Oral contraception is used by millions of women and is among the most popular forms of birth control,” Ganesh Cherala, OSU assistant professor in pharmacy and a corresponding author on the study, said in the press release.

The study looked at the widely-held belief that oral contraceptives’ effectiveness was reduced by the combination of drugs often used to treat those infected with HIV. It found that some oral contraceptives are at least as effective in those being treated for HIV, and in some cases, more so. Other forms of oral contraceptives could have reduced effectiveness.

The World Health Organization guidelines caution against using oral contraceptives.

“It’s important for women to have access to — and the ability to choose from — as wide a range of birth control options as possible,” Cherala said in the press release. “We believe this research shows the WHO guidelines are too generic and unnecessarily cautious. There clearly appear to be oral contraceptives that should be safe and effective in women being treated with HIV medications.” news@dailybarometer.com

Parked cars line the roadsides down Tyler Avenue in North Corvallis. Areas of North Corvallis continue to experience increased parking, according to some residents.

PARKING n Continued from page 1 it with Measure 02-88, a bill that would limit non-resident and non-employee parking to no more than two hours in affected areas.

Measure 02-88, on the general ballot this Nov. 4, will specifically affect the area “bordered on the west by 35th street, on the north

by Polk Avenue, on the east by 6th street and on the south by Western Boulevard.”

After more than two hours in this area, tickets would be issued to those failing to provide a resident or employee parking permit.

Parking north of campus has also drawn the attention of transportation services at OSU. “We’ve been successful in redistributing parking around OSU with the zone system, but would like to relieve the traffic north of campus,” said Meredith Williams, associate director of transportation services.

Transportation services has focused on making on-campus options more affordable and convenient for students with the ability to exchange their on-campus permits and

select the lot that works best for them. They also seek to expand motor pool and the bike loan program, along with implementing a carpool discount for vehicles with three or more passengers.

Students such as Gentry and Racanelli believe it’s not quite enough though, with both mentioning the high cost of a parking permit and relative difficulty of parking on campus.

“It’s tough to find parking (north of campus) with the new regulations,” Racanelli said.

She said she feels as though she has to choose between the high cost of on-campus options and the risk of being ticketed in residential areas.

“It’s not easy to find the money as a college student,” Racanelli said.

Further information and resources regarding parking on campus and in Corvallis are available at parking.oregonstate.edu and on the City of Corvallis Public Works webpage.

HVZ n Continued from page 1 Grace Gholston, a sophomore in microbiology, is the second OZ. Gholston has particpated in two years of HvZ and about 15 missions. This year, Gholston tagged eight humans during the OZ period, which ended Saturday, and is now up to 12 humans total.

People can opt in to be an original zombie during sign ups, Gholston explained. From that pool, the OZs are randomly selected and, depending on the size of the game, there can be anywhere from one to five.

Gholston said she prefers being undead because she doesn’t have to deal with being jumped.

As an OZ, Gholston spots the humans in her class and chats them up, asking them how they like the game. She gains their trust before leaving the classroom. Once they do leave, she walks out with them and puts her hand on their shoulders, turning them into a zombie.

Both OZs enjoy being zombies.

“We are both zombies at heart,” Shinsel said.

The storyline is based around “Walker Blanco” and “James Blueman,” who craft a zombie infection that’s spread through “hugs” – after all, all zombies really want is love. Walker, played

by Waldenmaier, and Blueman, played by Jacob Huegel, a senior in biochemistry and biophysics, are pitted against the “Hug Enforcement Agency,” or the HEA. “The game has an overarching plot we try to tie into the missions, and this time it’s Breaking Bad,” said Jacob McCarthy, a junior in computer science and a moderator.

Monday night’s mission involved recovering ping pong balls from the MU and Valley Library quads. The ping pong balls represented supplies that Blueman dropped around campus.

“My character drops the ball,” Huegal said.

The humans gathered on the east side of Waldo hall to be briefed as twilight sets in.

Humans huddle around Jacob McCarthy (center) to hear him speak about the mission: to retrieve ping pong balls from the Memorial Union and Valley Library quads. a candle, shielded from the wind by foam dart magazines.

“I figured as long as I was carrying marshmallows around, I might as well make s’mores,” Shapton said. Marshmallows, along with foam darts and socks, are zombie kryptonite. Once hit with one of these, a zombie is out of play for 15 minutes.

Shouts and yells rang through the library quad as humans dodged in and out of zombie zones trying to recover the mission objectives. The zombies bunched in formation, then ran to turn the humans and keep them away from the ping pong balls. Across the two quads, 30 ping pong balls waited, hidden in the grass.

At the end of the night, only five ping pong balls were recovered.

“I think it was really fun for the zombies, and now they have a lot of new friends,” said Joy-Marie Gerould, a senior in environmental engineering.

A zombie tagged Manali Paralkar, a senior in bioengineering, as she was headed to an objective. One of Paralkar’s last acts as a human was to bring in one of the five ping pong balls.

“I died happy,” Paralkar said.

“I think this (being a zombie) is where I belong.”

Gerould, a moderator, said that more zombies showed up than

they expected, but they could learn from their mistakes.

Despite the carnage, Gerould said that it is a “badge of honor” to survive really difficult missions.

At the end of the mission, McCarthy rallied the humans who’d made it back to base.

“Get home safely and stay alive,” McCarthy said.

For humans, paranoia is the name of the game.

“You have to check behind every corner and every bush,” Avendano said. “Or else you become a zombie and get to instill paranoia in others.”

Waldenmaier considers himself a “career zombie,” and prefers being undead.

“I’m one of the people who likes inducing that paranoia,” Waldenmaier said. “Hunting on the first day is a lot of fun.”

Huegal said he prefers humanity.

“I personally like sneaking around campus outsmarting large groups of people,” Huegal said.

There are HvZ members from every college at OSU, and the moderators represent all but one of those colleges.

“It’s helpful for meeting people,” Gholston said. “It’s a social game.”

She explained that the game helped her last year to learn the

campus and meet people.

“The people who play are really good people,” Gholston said.

Huegal got involved the session after he saw HvZ take place on campus.

“Oh my God, this looks like a ridiculous amount of fun,” Huegal said. “This is how I meet people who aren’t in my major.”

Tom Nath, the president of HvZ at OSU and a senior in English, said there’s no better way to make friends than to join HvZ. “I’ve met most of my friends through this,” Nath said.

And having friends can make humans more successful, too. “(It’s) always good to have someone who has your back,” Nash said.

Waldenmaier said it’s also a great workout. Tagged zombies huffed and puffed back to the base Monday night to be reactivated.

Tuesday night at 7 p.m., there were 124 humans, 123 zombies and three “deceased.”

The fall session began Friday, Oct. 24. More missions will take place throughout the week until the final mission Sunday. The next session of HvZ will take place spring term.

Beavers still have shot at elusive win A

ll season long the women’s soccer team has dealt with a consistent problem, poor defense and lack of offense.

From a goalkeeper standpoint this is completely untrue. Freshman goalkeeper Bella Geist, despite not having a win to her name this season, has already surpassed the 100 save mark for the year.

No, where the Beavers struggle in their own territory is at the defender position.

When you look at the statistics in that part of the soccer teams’ game, the numbers don’t lie.

On the defensive end, Geist has faced 263 shots on goal already this season. When you compare this to the amount of shots taken by the Beavers’ opponents versus their own, you find their numbers to be doubled or worse. To illustrate it plainly, in the first period they are being outshot 131-69, and in the second 161-74.

This is a reflection of the defense and the offense. Fewer opportunities for the offense means fewer goals. And fewer opportunities on the offensive side of the ball means more shots taken defensively, which translate to more time being spent in the defensive end.

Beavers lose to Stanford n

Beavers come up short against The Cardinal, still get top-place finishes in away matches

By The Daily Barometer THE DAILY BAROMETER

On Friday Oct. 24, the women’s swimming team headed on the road to face Stanford. Unfortunately for the fourth time this season, the swimmers lost the match, falling to The Cardinal 134-117.

But not everything was a lost.

As she has done in every meet this season, junior swimmer Sammy Harrison again dominated in the 1,000 freestyle, coming home with a time of 10:03.93. She also remained consistent in the 200 and 500 of the same discipline, smacking the wall second in both.

Several other Oregon State athletes had top-place finishes including sophomore’s Sophie McEwan, Czsarina Isleta and Andrea Young, who each took third place in their respective disciplines.

McEwan, who races in the 50 freestyle, came in with a time of 1:00.19; Isleta, who swam the 220 breaststroke, came in with a time of 2:22.75; and Young who battled water in the 200 IM, clocked a final time of 2:09.62.

In the 400 freestyle, the Beavers came in third and fourth, respectively, led by the team of Harrison, senior Dakota Bloch, freshman Tair Maimon and freshman swimmer Noemie Midrez.

After tough game against Stanford Saturday, football team looks to turn things back around this weekend

By Josh Worden

THE DAILY BAROMETER

Oregon State’s game against California, the Beavers’ eighth matchup of the season, will either put OSU within one game of bowl eligibility with four games to play or drop OSU to an even 4-4 record.

It will be a chance for the offense to pick itself up after the Stanford game, and it’s also a game with some family connections for Beaver players.

Possibly the biggest flaw in Oregon State’s offensive efforts against Stanford — in which the Beavers totaled 221 yards to Stanford’s 438 — was the defensive rush finding senior quarterback Sean Mannion before he could locate open receivers.

The fix for that is twofold: Buy more time for Mannion and have receivers get open sooner.

Mannion was sacked six times and only had one completion of more than 15 yards.

Football power rankings

By Mitch Mahoney THE DAILY BAROMETER

1. No. 5 Oregon (7-1, 4-1)

It’s been nearly a month since they lost to Arizona, and they’ve bounced back nicely.

In the three games since the loss, the Ducks average 48.7 points and are winning by an average of 18.3 points. They’ll face bitter rival Stanford this Saturday, a team that owns a two game winning streak against the Ducks.

2. No. 15 Arizona State (6-1, 4-1)

from week-to-week, junior quarterback Cody Kessler has been one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the conference. His 70.2 percent completion rate is the second highest among starting Pac-12 quarterbacks, and he’s thrown 20 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

The Trojans have a relatively easy schedule to close the conference schedule, so they could make a leap in the standings.

On Sunday against USC, all of this changed. The Beavers were not only able to keep the shots-perperiod close, but they were able to do something they haven’t done in 12 games: score a goal.

On the defensive side of the ball the Beavers were able to hold the Trojans scoreless for the entire first period and only have one goal scored against them the entire time of regulation.

Both of these turnarounds are huge game changers for the women’s soccer team going forward.

If the team can continue to have solid play from both their offense and defense, it may finally get the win it has been searching for in the past 17 games. Three times the Beavers have gotten close, but each one of those ended in a scoreless game, so they will need to do more if they want to get beyond that point.

The overtime loss to USC carried with it some

of the foundational pieces needed to make that possible.

For anyone who watches this team closely, it is obvious that it’s in the middle of a rebuild. Senior day over the weekend witnessed only one player on the team getting recognized.

So sure, the Beavers are young and finding themselves, but that doesn’t mean they should give up yet. They still have three games to play in the regular season, and one of those games is a season-ending civil war match against a Duck team that so far has only won two matches.

All three games will be on the road, and this could factor into whether or not the Beavers win or lose. The next game is against Cal in Berkeley on Friday night.

So stick close — it may not be a championship year for the women’s soccer team, but it may be one hell of an ending.

Senior linebacker D.J. Alexander stands over a Utah Utes player after bringing him to the ground and forcing an incomplete pass on Oct. 16.

FOOTBALL n Continued from page 5 “As a receiving core, we’ve got to get open faster,” said sophomore wide receiver Victor Bolden. “We’ve got to get off the line of scrimmage faster, that’s the biggest thing.”

Another way to avoid sacks is the screen pass. OSU will throw screen passes to running backs and wide receivers — Bolden included, as seen in practice this week — but also to tight ends, utilizing the speed of senior Connor Hamlett and junior Caleb Smith. The next tight end behind those two is senior Jacob Wark, who has replaced junior Kellen Clute due to injury.

The California game will be especially significant for Wark, who transferred to OSU this year after spending the first four years of his collegiate career at Cal. Wark is able to play this year since he already graduated from Cal, though the biggest difference for him is the disparity in offensive systems: Cal doesn’t use tight ends in its offense and Wark, listed

at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, shifted to wide receiver.

Wark now is back at his preferred position of tight end while playing for the Beavers, and he’ll play his former team on Saturday.

“I’ve got to treat it like a regular game even though there’s a little bit more of an incentive to it for me personally,” Wark said. “I’m just looking forward to playing all my teammates.”

Speaking of family connections, Bolden’s younger sister Victoria is a freshman on the soccer team at Cal. Bolden’s family has plenty of athleticism to go around, starting with the parents.

Bolden’s mother Zelda still holds the school record at Mt. San Antonio College in California in the 100-meter dash. Bolden’s father, also named Victor, played football at Mt. San Antonio.

“I wasn’t able to run faster than (my mom) until middle school, like eighth grade,” Bolden said. “My dad is an athlete too. That’s where I got into football from. He made sure I played a lot of sports before I got into football, just

to increase my athleticism.”

Bolden didn’t start playing football until eighth grade because his parents wanted him to be a well-rounded athlete. Even before he played organized football, his mother and father weren’t the type of parents to let him win easily at anything.

“They were serious,” Bolden said. “They competed with me and they pushed me … they definitely didn’t make it easy.”

Bolden may have an easier time on Saturday against Cal, at least in comparison to Stanford. The Golden Bears allow 384 passing yards per game. Mannion has had success against Cal in his career, passing for eight touchdowns and more than 900 yards in his last two matchups with the Golden Bears.

Mannion will attempt to improve on those numbers — and pass Matt Barkley for first all-time in Pac-12 career passing yardage if he nets 194 yards — at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night at Reser Stadium.

Women get short end of orgasm stick Vote ‘Yes’ on D Measure 89 Greaves N Editorial

ext week, Oregonian voters will determine whether or not to vote on Measure 89, which has the power to demolish sexual discrimination in the work place.

Voting yes on 89 would establish policy in Oregon that ensures equal treatment, expressly provides equality in the Constitution and will essentially work as a platform to change to face of our nation as we now see it.

We have to wonder why this wasn’t enacted 15 years ago.

Or even 20.

This is 2014.

This measure is both pertinent and necessary to the abolishment of sexism.

Opposition to the measure claims that it is not pertinent to this day and age, given that the Constitution already offers this kind of protection with Article one, section 20, which states that “No law shall be passed granting a citizen or class of citizens privileges, or immunities, which upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens.”

Granted, while this article does protect against discrimination in an umbrella fashion, it’s funny how inequality is still a present issue.

While Article one claims that discrimination should not be a thing, it still happens every day in our country.

Women are paid less than men in a national average.

Nationally, they earn 77 cents to every dollar that men make.

But we treat them a little better in Oregon — they get 79 cents.

The highest paying jobs in Oregon are primarily male-dominated, and in this gender wage gap women only make 63.8 cents compared to men.

They are pushed away from STEM occupations and majors thanks to sexist notions that boys are better at math and science and that girls belong in the safe majors of art and literature.

And of course, just good old-fashioned sexist discrimination in the workplace and education.

If we don’t need this measure then why the hell does the gender wage gap exist?

If it’s just a symbolic gesture then why haven’t these very prevalent issues of inequality between men and women been resolved?

Because folks, we need this measure.

Sometimes you have to be firm and specifically say things like “State/ political subdivision shall not deny or abridge equality of rights on account of sex.”

When these things are not articulated in a clear fashion, it opens up loopholes for jerks to wiggle in forms of bigotry and discrimination.

By stating very clearly in no uncertain terms that women deserve the same pay as men, Oregon’s Measure 89 has the ability to take a huge step forward in the climb to equality.

The refractory period is the time frame that occurs just after orgasm and ejaculation where it is impossible for men to reach orgasm again.

The length of the refractory period can vary, usually depending on the age of the man. For example, a much younger man in his late teens may only need 10 minutes to recover whereas a man in his 70s may need up to 24 hours.

Scholarships better than part-time jobs

W

hile some college students are fortunate enough to go all four years without the need for some sort of income, many students at our university currently are or have been employed part-time.

All the while maintaining their status as a full-time student.

For most, this is a necessary source of income that will help them pay for a small portion of their tuition, fees and living expenses, and will allow them to continue their education here at Oregon State University.

But with the price of higher education steeper than ever before, the overall benefits of these part-time jobs are beginning to dwindle.

With employed students making an average of $4,000-$8,000 throughout the school year depending on their hours and wages, these profits are accompanied by an increasingly large opportunity cost.

One must realize that for every hour spent at work, an hour is diverted from their studies.

And for full-time students, spending 15-20 hours per week at a part-time job has potentially detrimental effects on the quality of the education they are receiving.

This is where the importance of applying for scholarships begins to play a role.

Many students nowadays underestimate not only the opportunity for scholarships, but also their own ability to qualify and possibly win the scholarships that are available to them.

Scholarships can vary anywhere from $250 to $5,000 on the upper-end.

As a result, one can see why students may tend to stray away from scholarships, since part-time income is a sure thing and tends to produce around the same amount of profits.

What many students overlook is the time aspect dedicated to each route.

While part-time jobs obviously require the 15-20 hours per week you choose to allot, scholarships are much less time-consuming.

Completing a scholarship application could take anywhere from one to 20 hours, depending on the materials required and the quality of your work.

With most scholarships ranging from $1,000-5,000, there is huge potential for return on one’s efforts.

For example, if one spends 10 hours completing an application for a $3,000 scholarship, they essentially make $300 per hour if they get it.

That is just for one scholarship.

Although one would most likely spend more than 10 hours in total applying for multiple scholarships, which would in effect bring down the “$300 per hour” wage we saw in the previous example, the amount of money one could receive compared to the time they dedicate is still extremely high.

As a result, one can see why there is such value in applying for scholarships.

The potential for academic assistance at a lower opportunity cost proves invaluable for many students.

And while it is obviously unlikely that one would win every scholarship for which they apply, there is the potential to win multiple scholarships, again dependant on the quality of one’s work.

So while many students will continue to pour time into a part-time job that undoubtedly helps them pay for their secondary education, I encourage all of you to look for scholarships not only in your specific department or college, but from surrounding businesses and online.

And keep in mind — no scholarship is ever too competitive to make it not worth your while to apply. t

EUGENE — Eugene residents haven’t heard much recently about the city’s long-term plans to expand its urban growth boundary, but that’s about to change.

Today, the city’s planning commission will be briefed on the latest plans to add more than 400 acres near the Eugene Airport so the city can have more land for light industry and other businesses, and parks and schools.

Another 277 acres would be added in the area, south of Clear Lake Road, so Golden Gardens Park and land for future Bethel School District elementary and middle schools could become part of the city, said Terri Harding, city senior planner.

“We want to bring over 3,000 new jobs to the city in the Bethel neighborhood, along with land for a community park and land for new schools,” she said.

Next month, the seven members on the planning commission will be told where city planners think Eugene should grow beyond its present boundaries to accommodate new singlefamily homes.

Both proposed expansions of the urban growth boundary are connected to Envision Eugene, the four-year study to determine where and how the city will grow during the next 20 years.

The urban growth boundary is the line around a city that designates where dense urban development can take place.

City limits often are within such boundaries.

The Eugene City Council sometime in 2015 could make a final decision about expanding beyond its present boundaries, according to a Harding memo

to the planning commission.

One of the major goals of Envision Eugene is for the city to grow more compactly than it has in the past. The city’s population is projected to increase by 34,000 residents by 2031.

Eugene already has enough land within its boundaries for apartments and other multifamily housing for future residents, as well as smaller commercial sites for such things as stores, restaurants and offices, according to Envision Eugene.

However, the city lacks land to accommodate businesses that need sites ranging from 10 to 100 acres, the study effort concluded.

Such land exists west of Highway 99 and Randy Papè Beltline, both north and south of Clear Lake Road, Harding said.

The rural land that currently is used for farming west of Highway 99 one day could provide sites for light industry, such as food and beverage manufacturers and wood products firms, Harding said.

Some of the land would be designated for campus industrial development, which would allow offices and supporting uses, such as restaurants and stores.

The potential large development sites and their proximity to the Eugene Airport and Highway 99 make them ideal for new or existing businesses, she said.

“We are excited about having some sites in our portfolio to attract large employers that have been going elsewhere in the state,” Harding said.

All of the landowners north of Clear Lake Road agree with the light industrial designation and bringing the land into the urban growth boundary, she said.

“South of Clear Lake Road, we have a couple of parcels that

we are still trying to determine the future (land use) designation,” Harding said.

Seasonal wetlands are scattered throughout the present farm fields, she said.

When wetlands are filled, state and federal laws require an equal amount and quality of wetlands to be restored or created elsewhere.

In some cases, developers can do so by making payments to a wetlands mitigation bank, which restores wetlands elsewhere in the Eugene area.

To collect rainwater runoff from the developed properties, the city would build environmentally friendly bioswales, ponds and channels, Harding said.

The stormwater facilities “will convey and treat the water and, hopefully, improve the quality of water as it flows off the sites,” she said.

Besides wanting large tracts of industrial property, the city needs land for another 500 or so single-¬family homes outside the present urban growth boundary, according to Envision Eugene.

City planners are studying several potential expansion areas for that purpose, including the Russel Creek basin southeast of Eugene, near Lane Community College; on the western edge of Eugene, near the former Hynix computer chip plant in the Willow Creek area; and at the city’s southwest edge in the Bailey Hill/Gimpl Hill Road area.

The planning commission in November will be briefed on those potential expansion areas.

Planners are scheduled to make a presentation to the City Council on Dec. 10 about the industrial, parks and schools, and residential expansion areas.

Do you think men would put up with that absurd discrepancy?

Of course they wouldn’t. The reason women activity with a partner, they reach orgasm about put up with it is because they have been told for decades — more like centuries — that their 95 percent of the time.

DONOVAN n Continued from page 7 teachers who encouraged me.

Examples of successful people who look like me were all around, from the people I saw on campus during college visits to the majority of government leaders and actors I watch on TV. Everywhere I turned, society told me I could be successful.

Today, kids all across the country face a very different reality and a much more limited set of choices.

Only 6 percent of students from the lowest-income communities will graduate from college by age 25.

In no way does this reflects their capabilities.

Rather, it’s a result of deeply entrenched systems of oppression that have denied lowincome kids equal access to opportunity for decades.

I know that I can use my experiences to help kids bat-

tling these odds imagine an ambitious future they define for themselves, and make that future a reality.

More importantly, I believe I should.

I didn’t decide to teach because I think I’m going to be a hero.

This work will be incredibly challenging and humbling, and I will have to push myself harder than I ever have to give my students the education they deserve.

I will need to work in close partnership with the parents, teachers and community members who have been working towards justice and equity long before I arrived.

But I don’t want a job that lets me turn a blind eye to the injustice kids face every day.

I want one that forces me to look injustice in the face and fight it with all my heart.

I want one that holds me accountable for the injustices that plague our communi-

ties — because, although I did not create them, I’d still bear responsibility if I chose not to address them.

As I become a Teach For America corps member after graduation, I’ll be joining a network of more than 47,000 people working relentlessly to make access to opportunity equitable.

It’s a network of leaders vastly diverse in background and experience, working across sectors to create change.

But we are all united around the fundamental belief that a quality education is not a privilege — it is a right.

We can fight to ensure that all students get to enjoy that right.

As you think about what in the world you’re going to do after you leave here, I hope you’ll join us. t
