THE DAILY EMERALD

The Daily Emerald is published by Emerald Media Group, Inc., the independent nonprofit media company at the University of Oregon. Formerly the Oregon Daily Emerald, the news organization was founded in 1900.

ON THE COVER

Illustration by Billy Lawson

The start of the school year marked the grand opening of the University of Oregon’s Tykeson Hall, launching an advising model that combines career and academic aspects, called “flight paths.” Six flight paths make up the Tykeson model, and all six contain anywhere between 10 to 20 majors.

Tykeson Hall is also the new home of the career advising center, making it the epicenter of all advising on campus. This shift was made to centralize advising and ensure that students seeking career and academic advising had a one-stop-shop for all of their advising needs.

Tykeson Hall currently employs 24 full-time advisors spread across the six different flight paths that contains over 60 different majors.

“When deciding how to allocate advisors, the UO looked at three years of student enrollment data to aim for equal access to advising across flight paths,” said

Kimberly Johnson, assistant vice provost of advising.

“Additionally, data on how students are accessing flight path advising over the first year is and will continue to be examined so that adjustments can be made based on student needs,” Johnson said.

Tykeson Hall is working on improving this term. Gene Sandan, director of Tykeson College and Career Advising, discussed the new initiatives that Tykeson plans on following this term.

Sandan discussed a new targeted advertising outreach initiative that would be going into effect at some point in the winter term. The new campaign intends to reach out to students who may not have ever met with an advisor. Sandan said this campaign’s platform will primarily be via email with said students.

“We are also investing time and resources to advance our advisors’ skill sets and approaches to help students craft

and implement action plans for academic success and career exploration,” Sandan said.

Sandan said Tykeson will also be launching work groups to improve their specialized advising program. Using professional literature and data, Sandan hopes that these work groups will improve student success at UO. “Lastly, we are strengthening our collaborative advising, programming and referral processes with our Career Coach partners at the University Career Center to ensure that students are optimizing their career development plans with the experiences and skill sets employers are looking for,” Sandan added.

Tykeson Hall is currently open for all students seeking career and academic advising. Students can take advantage of drop-in hours between 10a.m. and 3p.m.

Monday through Friday.

MEET THE LAWMAKERS WHO REPRESENT UO STUDENTS

BY ANAKIN WELP • TWITTER @ANAKINWELP Although it may escape regular consideration, the University of Oregon falls into two state legislative districts: Senate District 6 and House District 11. Who are these representatives? The Emerald spoke with them to find out more.

Lee Beyer Senator Lee Beyer, a Springfield Democrat, has been involved with the state legislature since 1991 and said he has witnessed much of the change in the area. “It’s a different district now. When I was elected in the ‘90s, it didn’t include the University of Oregon, and when I won back the seat in 2010, it only included the law school,” Beyer said. “My district goes almost all the way up to Corvallis, so I also focus on the issues for Oregon State. It’s given me the opportunity to meet with and try to help students a lot, and try and get things done at the UO.” Beyer’s road to the legislature started when the representative at the time intended to resign, he said, leaving an opening. “I was, at that point, serving as a city councilor in Springfield and had been involved in city government for a long time,” said Beyer, “and a number of people locally approached me and asked if I’d consider being appointed to legislature.”

After serving in the Oregon House of Representatives from 1991 through 1998, he was elected as senator, serving until 2001 before being appointed by Governor John Kitzhaber to the Oregon Public Utility Commission. He then returned to the state senate in 2010, representing District 6.

Beyer said his primary interests as a legislator are combating climate change, securing funding for education in general and increasing affordable health care access.

“The big issue with health care has been getting people covered in general,” he said. “Our ongoing concern at this point is the everincreasing cost of health care. About 47% of the population [of Oregon] have private insurance either through their employer or which they buy themselves. The biggest problem with that is they have insurance, but they

can’t afford to use it.” Beyer said he hopes to obtain some form of a singlepayer health care system as well as reduce pharmaceutical costs.

In combating climate change, Beyer said his focus has been on promoting renewable forms of energy, such as advocating for electric vehicle transition and setting requirements for electricity providers to use renewable methods. “I chair the transportation committee, and we passed a funding bill in 2017 that for the first time had a major infusion of cash to transit, and we passed a privilege tax on auto sales, and that money’s being used to subsidize [electric vehicle] purchases.”

Although Beyer said that as legislative short sessions are mainly focused on budget balancing, he will spend most of time during the 2020 session, which lasts from Feb. 3 to March 2, working on the budget process for human services and health care, the committee of which he serves as co-chair. As senators are allowed to push one bill during short sessions, Beyer said he intends to sponsor legislation to help small craft distillery businesses.

Marty Wilde Representative Marty Wilde, Democrat of Central Lane and Linn Counties, is a recent member of the state legislature — he was elected in 2018 — but it is only the latest development in a lengthy history of public service. Wilde’s resume includes military service, with deployments to Bosnia, Qatar and Afghanistan, as well as work as Eugene City Club president and a member of the Eugene Budget Committee. He said he was influenced by his experiences growing up poor in the Triangle Lake area of Lane County.

“It was a divided community, between hippie kids and logger kids, but it was one of the poorest communities in Oregon, and people tended to work together,” Wilde said. “I do remember that it was a community where people really care about each other, even if we didn’t always understand each other, and that instilled in me the belief that it’s important we engage in public service.”

Representative Marty Wilde (Courtesy of Oregon State Legislature)

Education, housing, health care and the environment are four main issues that Wilde is focused on, and he explained that his priorities in those areas include incentivizing housing construction (especially low-income housing), pushing towards singlepayer health care, implementing a “cap-and-trade-like” bill to reduce carbon emissions and ensuring full funding for need-based financial aid.

“It’s really important to me that we have opportunities for public education that people can afford, so people don’t graduate with so much student debt that they can’t enter public service like I did,” Wilde said.

In addition, Wilde said he has more personal legislative goals to work on in the upcoming session. “I’ve got a couple bills, one to increase electric vehicle adoption by making sure people have places to charge them,

and one to get homeless veterans off the street and get housing,” Wilde said.

Other district-specific goals include educating the electorate about the need for more current and technical education facilities at Lane Community College, and obtaining funds for the improvement of Huestis Hall at UO. The latter project, which would cost around $63.6 million dollars, is one of a number of Oregon public university construction projects to be considered for funding by the legislature in the upcoming session. “It’s kind of interesting because I’m on the energy and environment committee, the veteran’s emergency prep committee, and the water committee,” Wilde said, “so those are the areas I end up spending the most time, but of course I’m interested in a lot of things.”

LUCKEY’S WEDNESDAY NIGHT GROOVE SESSIONS BRING FUNK TO EUGENE

Luckey’s Club on 933 Olive St. Eugene, Ore 97401. (Kimberly Harris/Emerald)

It’s 10 p.m. at Luckey’s Club on a Wednesday night in downtown Eugene. Music spills out of the bar — a medley of funk, neo-soul and R&B, blending together into a groovy tune. Inside, people play pool, drink and dance. On stage is an ever-changing group of musicians, grooving together and making it up as they go.

For the past five years, Luckey’s has hosted its Wednesday Night Groove Sessions. Originally titled Groove Night with Alvin and the Chipfunks, the weekly jam has evolved over time. The first band, fronted by Alvin Johnson, had a weekly residency at the bar where they could come play funk music for friends. They eventually invited other musicians to come play with them, and the event went through several iterations before becoming what it is today.

Now, anyone can sign up to groove with the Groove Crew. Guitarists, drummers, bassists, keyboard players, hornists, singers and more are all invited on stage. There is no required skill level, it’s all about communicating and going with the flow.

While they sometimes do covers or original songs, the standard Groove Session jam involves every instrument following along with each other to make music.

“You don’t have to be good to be at Groove Sessions,” said Max Pinder, the current core keyboard player. “You just have to look at people

PA G E 6

BY FRANKIE KERNER and be like, ‘Are we on the same page?’”

Pinder has been playing piano since the second grade. When he heard Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life,” it forever changed music as he knew it.

He studied music at the University of Oregon and graduated in 2011. Now 27, he plays in five active bands (including the Groove Crew).

In 2016, a friend invited Pinder to come to Groove Sessions. After walking in, he was instantly hooked.

“The first night I was blown away by everything that happened,” he said. “I kept coming week after week.”

Though the core band has changed throughout the years, some of the same musicians who started it still come back to groove. One of those musicians is trumpet player Chuck DeMonnin.

He began to facilitate the jam, finding each week as an opportunity to perform and get better at it.

“That was my home to practice performing,” he said. “I think there was one year where I was on the Luckey’s stage more than I was in my own bed sleeping.

The Eugene music scene is essentially a giant Venn diagram of artists and bands overlapping — a web of musicians, many of whom are in more than one band. “Maybe 10 bands have started as a result of this place,” said rapper Spencer Owen, also known by his stage name Speno. “It turned musicians who only focused on one thing into

multi-dimensional musicians. You see musicianship grow over a small period of time.”

Owen credits his on-stage confidence to fellow musician Ian Michael Lindsay. “I got to know Ian, and he was trying to get me to break out of my shell. We had rapped together in living rooms several times,” Owen said. “It sounds corny but it’s a good place to get loose with your friends and feel comfortable with it.”

Lindsay encouraged Owen to perform several years ago. Primarily a bass player, Lindsay has several projects of his own, including his rap project Yuckgod HD and his acoustic project under his own name. Though he moved to Portland earlier this year, he still remembers his time at Groove Sessions from its inception. He once played bass for three hours straight to keep the groove going. Any time Lindsay is in Eugene on a Wednesday, you’ll find him at Luckey’s.

“There is just a love between musicians out there that is very palpable,” Lindsay said. “It’s special, I think it’s unique.”

Wednesday Night Groove Sessions are held at Luckey’s Club each week at 10 p.m. It’s $3 and anyone can join. For more information, visit luckeysclub.com.

THE ART OF MEL VINCENT EXHIBIT: A BEAUTIFUL TRIP THROUGH OREGON’S PAST FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A LOCAL ARTIST

BY GRACE MURRAY • TWITTER @GRACIEE_MURRAYY Traveling through mystical farms, deeply carved valleys, along the rugged coast, through the forest, down suburban streets, and up towering buttes, the Art of Mel Vincent exhibit feels like a road trip throughout Oregon’s most beautiful scenery. In just 15 paintings, spectators are able to see 60 years of Oregon history through the eyes of a lifelong artist and local Eugenian.

From now until Feb. 8, the Art of Mel Vincent exhibit is on display at the Adell McMillan Gallery in the Erb Memorial Union at the University of Oregon.

Mel Vincent was born in Nampa, Idaho, in 1925 and spent most of his life chasing his passion for art. He joined the Navy immediately after he left high school but after three years of serving, he had the chance to fine tune his talents as an artist. After his time in the Navy, Mel attended an art school in Minnesota which led to 14 years of working artistically centered jobs. He then went on to live in Sacramento, California for a couple of years until life landed him in Eugene, Oregon in 1962. He has lived here ever since. Although he was born and raised elsewhere, his paintings feel like they were made by someone who has lived in Eugene their entire life.

The exhibit initially came to fruition as Mel’s health declined and his children wanted to honor his hard work. With the help of the University of Oregon Visual Arts Committee, they were able to comb through Mel’s work to hand pick the pieces that would be a part of this exhibit.

Since curating this exhibit, Mel’s health has improved drastically as he becomes more and more excited to share his talent with the public.

“I love the healing power and the family aspect of a son and daughter honoring their father with this exhibit and their ability to use it as a coalescing moment for their family and something they can share out for anyone with whom the art resonates,” said Suzanne Hanlon, advisor of the UO Visual Arts Committee.

His professional career centered around commercial art for

companies, but he never gave up his side passion of capturing the magic of landscapes. Through his art, he has been able to capture pieces of small town Oregon frozen in time forever.

He has painted everything from corner stores to boats navigating through pitching waves to quaint Victorian homes. “He has always been really interested in structures and landscapes that are fairly unique to Oregon,” said Patti Vincent, Mel’s daughter.

Watercolors are his preferred medium, adding a whimsical and warm feel to his pieces. Landscape watercolors are a fairly rare form of art, now more than ever, but their rarity adds to their magic. “It feels like something that people don’t really do anymore. There aren’t a lot of landscape watercolor painters.

It’s not trying to be groundbreaking, it’s just really beautiful,” said Clancy O’Connor, gallery assistant for the UO Visual Arts Committee.

Many of the pieces on display at the EMU are recognizable to local Oregonians and those who have visited Oregon. While they are not clearly labeled, they depict familiar images of local highways and homes that are easily identifiable.

There are even some locations that Mel painted decades ago that are recognizable today. “It’s a nice view into the history of Oregon in the past 60 years and how much it has evolved ... in contrast [to] how much it hasn’t changed as well,” said Grace Horner, social media and promotions coordinator for the UO Visual Arts Committee.

Art appreciators, Oregonians, history lovers, travelers and anyone who wishes to see a beautiful blast from the past can view Mel’s art for free from now until Feb. 8. There will be a special reception including drinks and refreshments for all to enjoy on Feb. 6 at 6 p.m. in the EMU. “He survived on his art, I mean he was able to support his family while simultaneously balancing his career and his passion for art and that’s pretty incredible,” said Patti.

The art of Mel Vincent is displayed in the EMU of the University of Oregon. Jan. 7, 2020.

ART & EVENTS IN 2019 With many different media, creators, participants, events and viewers, the Eugene art scene blossomed in 2019. Venues in Eugene housed everything from art shows to theatrical performances to vibrant displays of culture.

The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art welcomed many different art exhibits displaying a wide range of subjects. Some of the JSMA’s exhibits included work by University of Oregon students: Common Thread, an analyzation of culture and clothing, and Art of the Athlete: Art and Social Practice, an exhibit about social issues by athletes. The JSMA also celebrated local children with their 12th annual exhibition of NewArt Northwest Kids, the exhibit focused on the protection of the environment in the Pacific Northwest.

The Hult Center hosts fantastic talent year after year, bringing a variety of performances into downtown Eugene.

The year brought the 20th anniversary of Damsels, Divas and Dames, a drag performance that benefits the HIV Alliance and brings fun for the whole family. The

Tony award winning musical Bandstand also made its way to the Hult Center for two action-packed showings.

Between the Eugene Saturday Market and the Eugene Holiday Market, there was an abundance of local art on display for anyone to enjoy and purchase. Lots of spectators came to both marketplaces this past year for a deep dive into the true culture of Eugene’s art scene. Local artists put up booths to display everything from oil paintings to elaborate pottery and jewelry.

The Black Cultural Center opened its doors on Oct. 12, 2019 on the UO campus.

This facility is not only a celebration of African American culture but a place to educate. The facility has pieces of history, educational materials, an art exhibit and office spaces and conference rooms for student groups and faculty to utilize.

The final year of the decade brought nostalgic fan favorites and brand new ways to enjoy the local art scene in Eugene. While it was a jam-packed year, there are quite a few things coming to Eugene in 2020 for so many people to enjoy.

FILM IN EUGENE IN 2019 The Rewire Film Festival, a trans and genderqueer film festival, launched in Eugene last year with four events showcasing short, erotic and featurelength films. After Kalil Cohen and Andrew Robbins connected over a mutual love and passion for cinema and built the festival over nine months, Rewire was born.

Meant to empower independent filmmakers and provide a platform for trans and genderqueer artists to present their work, Rewire sought to challenge the notion of gender identity. Offering films across genres, the two wanted to Dropping Penny, one of the short films in the Conform series (Courtesy of Rewire Film Festival).

free trans and genderqueer media from the restraint of being only about identity.

Cohen and Robbins share a love of the festival format and the sense of audience and community that screenings create.

The energy and interactions that come from events across the city at bars and on campus are what the festival is all about. With a limited demographic, the goal is a communal experience of art as opposed to profit. With the debut done, the two want to take the festival on tour and expand their audience and content in the coming years.

FOOD TRENDS OF 2019 It was a delicious year for Eugene — some notable new restaurants of 2019 include Slice Pizzeria and Bar, BurgerIm and Kkoki BBQ Eugene — but three other notable food destinations made specific impacts on the food scene.

24-HOUR DESTINATION STATION At the very start of the year, the UO campus area got its first (and so far, only) 24-hour restaurant. Mandy’s Restaurant, run by her and her family, has all the burgers and classic breakfast options of a traditional diner, plus options for those with dietary restrictions.

Voted “Best New Restaurant” by Eugene Weekly, Mandy’s standouts like their “TLT” (tempeh, lettuce and tomato) and Belgian waffles keep locals coming back at all hours.

Recommended: TLT, Belgian Waffle, Biscuits & Gravy

UNIQUE JAPANESE ADDITIONS Eugene was lucky this year to have some incredible new Japanese restaurants join the masses. Two standouts were Izakaya Jinsei, located on Alder Street near campus, and Uki Uki Sushi on Pearl Street.

Izakaya Jinsei was formerly Izakaya Oyazi, which was located on 5th Avenue before it moved and rebranded. With a rustic bar and wide selection of sake and other alcohols, Jinsei has

lunch and dinner menus, with a fair spread of traditional Japanese fare and fusion small plates.

Uki Uki, located on the ground floor of Eugene Hotel, is Eugene’s latest spot for Tiki drinks and sushi. Eugene natives Michael Zito and Sophie Dixon opened Uki Uki at the beginning of 2019. The couple have brought bright florals and a unique take on Japanese fusion food and sushi to Eugene.

BUBBLE TEA FEVER If you haven’t seen students carrying tall cups with wide straws around campus, you must be living under a rock. The campus area got two new boba places: Bobahead and Day & Night Boba Tea House.

Bobahead’s location on 13th Avenue is the local chain’s second spot in Eugene, opening in late October after months of renovation to a tiny, minimalist space. Known for their Taiwanese-style milk and fruit teas, Bobahead has small tables and free Wi-Fi. Their most popular drinks include Thai milk tea with

boba or any of their fruit teas.

A bit further from campus and located at 515 Franklin Blvd. is Day & Night Boba Tea House. Occupying the corner spot of the building, the cafe offers a wide range of Hong Kong-style drinks in a modern, minimalist space with seating, free Wi-Fi and even a TV with a Nintendo Switch and a PlayStation 4 free to use.

Whether you’re looking for an alternative to coffee or are already addicted to bubble tea, these two locations are joining the ranks of other great bubble tea options around campus.

A variety of drinks sit behind the bar. Uki Uki provides an authentic feel with its unique decor. Uki Uki, a sushi and tiki bar, is located in downtown Eugene, Ore. April 12,2019. (Madi Mather/Emerald)

OPINION

RESPONSIBILITY IS NOT MANDATORY

BY ANDREW STEVENS Waking up in the morning to see you’ve missed your first class is not a good feeling for college students. Not only was a whole class-worth of information missed, but your grade likely dropped because of the absence. Attendance is crucial to education, but college is the time for students to take responsibility for their actions, and showing up for their education should be a part of that.

It makes sense that attendance is required during primary school. A child is not going to class on their own accord; they need the push and guidance of an adult so they stay in school; however, a college student should not have the same problem. Students at UO should be aware of how much money they’re spending and how much each class costs.

If you are expected to live on your own and

feed yourself, you should also be expected to be informed about your own education.

In some cases it is clear that attendance is required. If a class has 10 or fewer students in it, not showing up will impact the other nine. These types of classes may require full participation, but a majority of large lecturestyle classes do not.

Getting punished for missing one class does more than just incentivize students to attend — it angers them as well. People are rarely happy to see that their class has required attendance, and sometimes requiring attendance is a good way to make sure people in class do not pay attention.

I have seen many students with more than one iClicker, in an attempt to bypass the required attendance rule. Instead of focusing on class material, the only thing students are

focusing on is their attendance grade. People often leave once they have proven they were there in the first place.

It is good to keep students engaged and interacting with the material, but doing so requires an involved and enthusiastic professor. Attendance is often regarded as an easy way to force class engagement.

College is a time when students are supposed to learn about being responsible with their time, money, resources and emotions. Part of being responsible with time is time management, a skill that is degraded by mandatory attendance. Students should be able to decide how to best use their time, even if it means not attending a class.

Without the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them, time management in the real world will be a difficult skill to learn.

PREVIEW: NO. 2 OREGON TAKES ON ARIZONA STATE IN THE DESERT

BY CARLY EBISUYA • TWITTER @CARLYEBISUYA The Ducks starting lineup huddles before the start of the first quarter. Oregon Ducks women’s basketball takes on Utahat Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Ore. on Jan. 5, 2020.

(DL Young/Emerald)

The Arizona State Sun Devils will host one of the most daunting home weekends in school history this Friday and Sunday when they host No. 2 Oregon and No. 3 Oregon State.

Oregon will look to spoil Arizona State’s hopes of securing a win against two top-5 teams in the same weekend, a feat that has never been done in program history.

Coming off their historic demolition of the Utah Utes last Sunday, the Ducks are pushing for their first conference road win this year with a double header against the Arizona schools.

The Sun Devils are hungry for another conference win this season, as they dropped their first two games against two top-25 teams, then-No. 10 UCLA and No. 18 Arizona. Bouncing back, the Sun Devils won their last game at the end of their Los Angeles road trip with a win against USC

that snapped their two-game losing streak.

Its win against USC was the first time this season that Arizona State had been out-rebounded by its opponent, 36-30. This could be a recurring problem for the Sun Devils down the road in Pac-12 play, as Ja’Tavia Tapley stands as their tallest player at 6 foot 3. The lack of size could impact their ability to score and defend in the paint and could be something the Ducks can take advantage of in Friday’s game.

Oregon has won every battle this season in points in the paint.

The No. 24 Sun Devils have proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the Pac-12 as a product of a collective team effort. So far this season, they have had eight different players take the lead in scoring, and despite their small size, they have shown to control the boards on

almost every occasion, ranking third in the nation in offensive rebounds.

Dominating in the paint so far this season, Oregon’s Ruthy Hebard and Satou Sabally have been one of the most effective duos inside this season. Hebard currently holds as second in the nation in field goal percentage at 69.7%, and after the win against Utah, became the 12th player in NCAA history to reach 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Sabally continues to be a problem in the paint for opponents and is showcasing her offensive versatility as well.

Rounding out the trio of the “Big Three,” Sabrina Ionescu continues to shine as she sits at No.10 on the alltime career assist list.

The Ducks will not have the support of 10,000-plus attendees at Matthew Knight Arena cheering on the green and yellow, but will have to rely on what they have been the past few

games: gritty, suffocating defense and explosive offense.

Transfer guard Minyon Moore has been the spearhead of Oregon’s clobbering defense with solid on-ball defense, forcing opponents into hard traps and long passes. She is coming off a season-high 17 points against Utah, where she showed her defensive game flowing into her offense by attacking the basket and hitting the open lanes hard. Moore will be reunited with former USC teammate Tapley this weekend, but this time on different benches.

Oregon stands at No. 2 in the nation shooting from the field at 50.7% and will need solid play from both ends on the floor Friday night against another top-25 team in Arizona. Oregon has won both of its Pac-12 meetings by a margin of 58 points and 37 points, while Arizona State is seeking to disrupt that with an upset.
