AMAZING LIVE THEATRE HERE ON CAMPUS WITH FREE TICKETS FOR UO STUDENTS

ONCE A DUCK, ALWAYS A DUCK

Welcome home The best Ducks

The Student Alumni Association creates passionate and devoted Ducks who are committed to the UO for their entire lives.

We’re here to build the best Ducks possible, enhancing your college experience with great member rewards (such as a free t-shirt before all of our Pac-12 home football game — pretty cool, right?), and connections with other students and alumni. We’re affiliated with the UO Alumni Association, through which you can network with more than 198,000 alumni and gain access to some awesome Alumni Association rewards.

“The Student Alumni Association is an opportunity,” said Ayasha Thurman, UO senior and director of membership and senior experience for the SAA, who joined as a junior for the leadership opportunities and resume building experiences the SAA could offer her.

“It gives students the freedom to decide how connected they want to be to their university and how much they want to get out of their time as students before transitioning into alumni. We are here for students on a peer-topeer basis to help them access a community unlike any other on campus.”

Twitter/Instagram @uosaa Facebook: University of Oregon Student Alumni Association

Connect with alumni

Become a member

Membership in the SAA gets you access to great member rewards and more.The one-time $70 fee for freshmen will give you SAA membership until graduation, and it all goes straight back into funding the awesome events and opportunities the SAA provides.

Want to know more about becoming a member?

Email our membership team at uosaamembership@ uoregon.edu, or visit uolumni.com/saa-join.

Member events

In addition to the member rewards, we also host several member events every term.These inculde Beat Tee handouts; getting inside access to the Moshofsky Center the night before home football games to help the athletics department set up for its tailgate the following day; and alumni connection events such as Alumni Speed Networking (think speed dating, but with your resume and the UOAA’s Board of Directors) and the Duck Career Network’s Virtual Happy hours, which allow you to connect with students and alumni with similar career interests all via text chatting. We host great spring break opportunities that allow you to visit alumni in Seattle and San Francisco, and also sponsor an award with the Emerald Media Group that recognizes 25 outstanding Ducks who will change the world each year. Who knows, maybe you’ll be one of them! You can find out all about our events on our website at uoalumni.com/saa-events, or by following us on social media.

Get involved

Once you join, you can choose how involved you want to be. If you want to start out by just checking out our events and picking up your Beat Tee, that’s fine. As you find yourself wanting to get more involved, we have a variety of volunteer opportunities available to you, from helping with events to folding Beat Tees before our handouts (which is a great way to get your Beat Tee early—and get some free pizza too!).To learn more about our volunteer opportunities, contact our volunteer coordination team at uosaaspirit@uoregon.edu.

We also have great opportunities in our intern program and leadership team, if you want to really gain some experience and get the most out of your SAA membership.These students plan everything for the SAA and make our events happen. We have positions in marketing and media production, alumni relations, membership recruitment, philanthropy and community service, and volunteer coordination. Our leadership positions offer a great way to get involved on campus while gaining real-world experience to enhance your resume. If you’re interested in being involved with our internship and leadership programs, email us at uosaa@uoregon.edu to let us know what you’re interested in and we’ll get back to you on how you can be involved!

“I like being a part of the SAA because it brings a university, its students, and a community together,” said Claire Pascual, a UO junior who joined as a freshmen at IntroDUCKtion and is the director of philanthropy and advocacy for the SAA.“It’s one of the best and easiest ways for students to have school spirit, learn to network, and all around be better Ducks.”

The SAA is a great way to get involved at the UO, meet new people and make connections, gain some great experience to help you in the job search after graduation, network with successful alumni, and begin your journey as a Duck for life.

Our first Beat Tee handout will be on Friday, September 25, at the campus Duck Store from 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. for the game against Utah the next day. Join today to be able to pick up your first Beat Tee of the season!

Buying textbooks 101 We know buying textbooks is pretty far from the top of the list of things you’re looking forward to in college, so we’ve done our best to make it as easy as possible. Check out our website for instructions on buying your textbooks: UODuckStore.com/student.

The Duck Store is operated independently of the University of Oregon, but your money stays within the University of Oregon community. Last year we paid more than $1.24 million in wages to UO students and gave more than $1.5 million to campus groups and programs. We know that you want to make sure you’re getting the best deal, so we offer a variety of ways to obtain your textbooks at different price points.

All of our used textbooks are at least 32% OFF the publisher’s list price, plus out of 3,500 large college bookstores nationwide, we’re one of only 25 that offer an everyday discount on new textbooks. But, if you’d like to look around, our website shows available book prices from competitors, including Amazon and Half.com. If you order online through us and choose in-store pick up, your textbooks will be waiting for you at the Campus Duck Store when you come to school in the fall.

In addition to showing competitor’s prices, we offer a rental program for many of our most popular textbooks so you can save some money. By renting online, textbooks will be delivered right to your door, and when you’re done you can send them back for free with UPS.You can also choose to rent in-store; if a title is available to rent, there will be a sign posted by the book shelf tag.Take the textbook to the register to check out and you’ll be given the option to either purchase or rent. Pretty simple!

Some textbooks are now offered as e-Books, which are often less expensive. We offer this whenever possible, but whether it is an option is up to the publisher. When an e-Book is offered, it is noted on your book list alongside the print editions.You may choose to purchase an e-Book and its activation code through The Duck Store online, or you may pick one up in the store.

It’s important to remember that, because we are an independent bookstore, we do not have access to your student account or financial aid, so you cannot charge the cost of textbooks to your account. We do accept all major credit cards, cash and checks. For some students, pre-loading an Academic Supply Card is the most convenient option. Academic Supply Cards can only be used for course materials and supplies, do not expire and money can be added to them at any time.

We also have a large selection of non-academic books.

From A Game of Thrones to 100 Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades, you’ll get a student discount of 10% OFF all of our general books, so you can grab something new to enjoy when you have a light homework week and it’s pouring down rain.

Duck Life | 2015

The Duck Store is a non-profit organization governed by a board of students, faculty and staff, so you can be sure that the money you spend on course materials is put back to good use. Each year we award more than $21,000 worth of Academic Supply cards to students to assist with buying books, and we support many student groups on campus. Stop by when you get to campus and check out everything we have to offer!

Come work with us Because The Duck Store’s mission is to serve the needs of the University of Oregon, we are committed to providing employment to students to assist with their education and living expenses. In 2014, we paid more than $1.24 million in wages to UO students.

In our effort to make it easier for students to work at our convenient Eugene locations, including Matthew Knight Arena and Autzen Stadium, we provide flexible part-time employment that allows for changing class schedules and the rigors of finals week, as well as time off during school breaks. Many team members get started at The Duck Store during the back to school rush at the beginning of each term or as event employees, working at our pop-up locations at sporting events, concerts and university events.

For many team members,The Duck Store is the first job they’ve ever had. It’s a great environment to learn valuable skills such as customer service, but it’s also a uniquely fun environment because nearly everyone is a student.The Duck Store is a game day destination for many fans during football season, and athletes of numerous sports from all over the country stop in throughout the year.

In addition to our regular team member jobs, we offer internships that allow for professional development in accounting, loss prevention, web development and other areas.

All team members begin accruing paid sick leave and vacation days on their hire date. Our student team members also receive an additional 5% discount on course books and 20% on most other Duck Store merchandise. Because The Duck Store always has an eye toward the future, many of our part-time team members start their retirement nest egg early though our 401k plan, and we match a percentage of their contribution at no cost.

We are also dedicated to the happiness and emotional well-being of each of our team members. For the times when life gets hard, we offer free counseling services through an independent agency for all team members and those living in their household.

Since 1920,The Duck Store has had the privilege and honor of working with thousands of remarkable University of Oregon student employees.They are at the core of our mission.To apply for a job at The Duck Store, visit UODuckStore.com/jobs.

Welcome TO THE DUCK STORE

Your one stop shop You’re a Duck, and we couldn’t be more excited! The Duck Store is the campus bookstore, but we also sell art and school supplies, computers, tech accessories, Duck gear, have a café and much more.

community members to find Duck merchandise as well as all kinds of supplies for art and technology in addition to the ever-present books.

To make it really easy for you, we now have a one stop shop with all of the information you might need about buying academic supplies. From explaining how to buy your textbooks and other course materials to a video tour of our campus store, check out our page for any questions you might have: UODuckStore.com/student

Last year more than $1.5 million went back to the University to help fund programs including the Masters of Fine Arts Exhibit, University Day and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Another example of our assistance to the UO is through the annual Spirit Tee. Spirit Tees are one of the most affordable fan products available, and one dollar from the sale of each shirt is donated to the UO Marching Band and Cheer teams. Since 2003, we’ve donated $187,283 through the program.This money helps fund trips to away games, new gear and everything needed to have a successful program.

Our history on campus goes back to 1916, when a book and supply store was organized by the Associated Student of the University of Oregon. After closing for a few years, we opened in 1920 as a Co-Op with a mission to serve the students, faculty and staff of the University of Oregon.

| 17 |

As the University grew, so did the store, and in 1972 we reorganized as a nonprofit:The University of Oregon Bookstore. By 2007 it became clear that we were much more than just a college bookstore, so we rebranded as The Duck Store — a place for students, fans and

We’ve had some big changes over the years, but since 1920 students have been our top priority. We consider ourselves a campus resource, and while you’ll need to come to our flagship store on campus to buy books, you can also find us at the Student Recreation Center, the Law School, and, come 2016, in the newly remodeled EMU for basic school supplies, food and Oregon gear.

Duck Life | 2015

In 1939, the Co-Op moved to Chapman Hall on campus.

Although a convenient location, there simply wasn’t enough space to serve the needs of everyone on campus.

In 1955, the Co-Op made an offer on the land where The Duck Store is now located, and in 1961 the bookstore constructed a new building, with an addition completed in 1966.

Historic Mac Court plays host to student programs PROGRAMS RELOCATED DURING CONSTRUCTION OF EMU The long anticipated renovation of the EMU demolished the 1970’s addition in spring of 2014.The programs that used to be located in that part of the EMU have moved to creative temporary quarters at McArthur Court during EMU construction. Converting an old basketball arena, built in 1926, into a vibrant campus student center presented several challenges. But it has also been an unique opportunity to revitalize and extend the life of loved and historic campus building. Programs will return to a newly upgraded EMU in the late spring of 2016.

In spring of 2014, students and staff were invited to say “sayonara” to the 1970’s addition prior to demolition with spray paint and sledgehammers.

student-athlete and the school’s first student body president. In 2001, Sporting News named it “best gym in America”. Sports writer and arena researcher Bill Kintner named McArthur Court in his top five of college basketball arenas in America for its history, character, and atmosphere. He notes that McArthur Court “is a building that will give you chills even if there is no game being played.” Similar to the EMU, the arena was funded by ASUO student fees, and the mortgage papers were burned as part of a public ceremony after the building was completely paid for.

The arena is named for Clifton N. (Pat) McArthur, U. S. Congressman and Oregon

Welcome

GREEK LIFE

to the University of Oregon!

Since 1776, Greek-letter organizations have been an integral part of campus life at colleges and universities across the nation.

Founded under the principles of scholarship, leadership, community service and the development of life-long relationships, members today still practice these fundamental principles in their pursuit of collegiate excellence.

The mission of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life is to enhance the quality of student life at the University of Oregon by empowering members of the Greek community through advising with a developmental approach, educating with a purpose, collaborating with stakeholders, promoting academic success, encouraging civic responsibility, advocating for healthy lifestyles, creating lifelong connections, and advancing values-based leadership and decision making.

The fraternity and sorority community at the University of Oregon can trace its roots to 1900.Today, there are over 30 recognized fraternities and sororities at UO, some having over a century of history here on campus.

This is a proud heritage that students can become part of by becoming a member.

Fraternity men and sorority women at UO have a strong commitment to philanthropy and community service. Members of the organizations continue to demonstrate this commitment through their participation in various philanthropic events throughout the year.

Although fraternities and sororities are student organizations, they are different from other clubs available to students at the University of Oregon. Becoming a member of a Greek-Letter organization is a lifelong commitment that only begins in college.

When students join a recognized fraternity or sorority, they join an organization that creates a bond that will unite them with their brothers or sisters on campus and throughout the United States.

The organizations select their new members and provide them with information about the organization so they fully understand and appreciate what it means to be a member.

Once the new member education period is completed, the student becomes a fullfledged member of the chapter. Registration is required for fall fraternity and sorority recruitment on the FSL website.The primary registration deadline is August 7, 2015.

The new member process is governed by each organization’s inter/national policies and will typically last between 6-10 weeks.There are chapters that do conduct quarter long new member processes. At the completion of the new member process, you participate in Initiation, a ritual also set forth by the inter/ national organization. Once you have become initiated, you will become a full, active member of your fraternity or sorority.

Like many opportunities for involvement in college, there is a financial commitment associated with joining a sorority or fraternity.

These costs go toward inter/national fees, chapter operating expenses, philanthropy events, social functions, lodge expenses, and much more. Financial obligations differ among individual fraternities and sororities.

Potential members should ask each fraternity or sorority about these financial obligations.

In some cases financial aid and scholarships may apply to membership and housing costs.

New members can expect to pay higher dues their first semester due to the one-time new member fees. New member dues can range between $125-$1300 per quarter and active member dues (including room and board) range from $2500-3200 per quarter.

Some organizations will offer payment plans, but this is dictated by the inter/national organization’s policies.There are additional expenses that members might incur such as purchasing sorority t-shirts or memorabilia, fees for additional events, fees to bring guests to events, etc.

Membership in a fraternity or sorority can be a great way to become involved in the rich traditions at UO and create lifelong friendships. Please look through the information on our website (fsl.uoregon.edu), as it may answer some questions that you have. If you still have any questions, feel free to contact our staff. We are more than happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. We can be reached at (541) 346-1149 or GoGreek@uoregon.edu. We are here to help our students have a great UO experience!

Go Ducks!

What does it mean to be a responsible community member?

WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON AND TO LIFE IN EUGENE, OREGON! As an incoming student at UO, you are more than just a member of the UO community—you are also joining the Eugene and Springfield community at large, regardless of whether you live off-campus or on.

Students plant ing trees as pa rt of the Winter Day of Service even t.

AS A CITIZEN OF EUGENE, YOU HAVE MANY RESPONSIBILITIES TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND CAN MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT. THIS CAN INVOLVE ACTIONS LARGE OR SMALL, SUCH AS: Be a good neighbor.

Introduce yourself to your neighbors, whether they be fellow students in the residence halls or other community members when living off-campus. Work to forge good relationships with those around you.

• Be conscious about noise. Remember that you live in a community—though you may be relaxing and enjoying jamming out to some music, other students may be trying to study and young children may be trying to sleep at night—be considerate about keeping down noise and keeping parties under control.

• Respect neighbors’ requests. Having open communication with your neighbors helps to prevent issues from escalating.

• Unsure how to handle a conflict? Contact UO Conflict Resolution Services (crs.uoregon.edu), at crs@ uoregon.edu or 541-346-0617 • Get to know your neighborhood. Each neighborhood in Eugene has its own characteristics. Unsure which neighborhood you live in? Find out which neighborhood you live in here: http://www. eugene-or.gov/index.aspx?NID=531.

• Getting involved with your neighborhood association. In addition to being a Duck, you are also a member of one of the many neighborhoods in Eugene. Get involved in your neighborhood association in order to make an impact and find solutions to common problems in your neighborhood.

(Find your neighborhood association meeting times here: http://www.eugene-or.gov/index. aspx?NID=531.)

Give back to your community.

There are many ways you can give back to your community.

• There are one-day events such as the UO Winter and Spring Day of Service Events where UO students and community members come together to work on service projects in campus neighborhoods, such as planting trees and stenciling street names onto curbs. Email CommUniversity@uoregon.edu for more information.

• There are also more ongoing volunteer efforts/community service opportunities, such as work at a local food bank. Learn more about community service opportunities through the Holden Center’s Duck Corps, http://serve.uoregon.edu/Students/DuckCorps.aspx.

Vote and get involved in local politics.

Be aware of what proposals are on the ballot in Eugene, and what is going on in the political realm.

As a resident of Eugene, these initiatives affect you and those around you for many years to come, and your vote can make an impact on issues such as parking, transportation and more!

Get involved with UO CommUniversity.

HEAD DOWNTOWN If I have one piece of advice for future Ducks, it would be this: Leave the bubble.

The “bubble” I’m referring to is the invisible dome-like structure that surrounds the University of Oregon campus and the few blocks around, sucking you in to a monotonous lifestyle of sameness: Caspian, class, Espresso Roma, Walton, class, Carson Dining, Carson lounge, sleep, repeat. Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with this, except that you’re just not really exploring the small city that’s hosting you: Eugene.You’re a student and that’s just about it.

| 26 |

Duck Life | 2015

I get it: It’s convenient.You go to class, you want to walk to class, you want to do everything within a few blocks of that class. Live. Eat. Exercise.There’s a certain comfort that goes along with this safeness. But, (for fear of appearing dramatic) there’s a certain kind of sadness, too.

When you go beyond that invisible barrier, you explore the Eugene that doesn’t leave once spring terms ends, that population that has families, or no families, and gardens, and dogs, and block parties, and art galleries, and artsy movie theaters, and sizzling pizza pies and tea houses.

Basically, you miss out on so much. Here’s a look at what you can find when you venture out and explore downtown.

BIJOU METRO Don’t you ever get sick of the sensationalistic blockbuster movies? The ones drenched in cheesy lines and offensive misrepresentations and overt sexism? I sure do.The Bijou Metro doesn’t have movies like that: They host movies you won’t be able to see at any major theater for (almost) half the price — artsy movies and independent films like “Blue is the Warmest Color,” or Spaghetti Western movie marathons or screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

SIZZLE PIE

HERITAGE DRY GOODS

BELLY

Best cheap pizza in town. No doubt about it.Their slogan is “Eat Pizza Everyday” and you might just want to do that once you go here.They have several options for toppings and a great salad and slice combo deal. And because it’s open until 4 a.m. on weekends and 3 a.m. on weekdays, it’s the perfect place for a greasyfood study break.There’s also a great outdoor seating area during those months when, you know, the sun decides to shine.

This is the kind of store that makes you proud to be an American. Its products are all American-made — from the toiletries, to the backpacks, to the handmade jewelery, to the postcards, to the trendy iPhone covers. However, quality comes at a price (let’s just say you’re not going to be making a purchase here every week). Even so, it’s a great shop to get those special, one-of-a-kind gifts — for someone else or for you.

If you’re from the South, you’ll love this southern restaurant. If you’re not from the South, you’ll still love it.

Everything from their traditional-style gumbo to their risotto to their “beef shortribs with wheat berries” is damn good. Its menu takes southern-style cooking to a whole new level — you may not know what everything on the menu means, (duck liver and madeira pate, anyone?), but you’ll be intrigued enough to try it. Plus, it has a pretty cool atmosphere: dim and edgy and equipped with everything from drapes hanging in various spots to art to a disco ball in the center of the room.Yeah, that’s right: a disco ball.

THE BARN LIGHT

J. MICHAELS BOOKS

It calls itself the “little Portland” of Eugene, and some might say it’s earned its title. Its atmosphere is dark and roomy and the food is delicious and unique, ranging from items such as your standard turkey cranberry sandwich to “Frito pies.”There’s a shuffleboard, a foosball table (they have foosball tournaments every week) and a vinyl-playing night every Sunday in which you can bring your own records.

There’s something about that oldschool bookstore feel that is so wonderful; from its collection of old and new, and diversity of titles, it really warrants a day of browsing.

That’s what J. Michaels Bookstore is for. It’s the perfect Sunday getaway for some decompressing before the beginning of a hectic week. It’s just the place to get that new book you’ve been hearing about — that is, if you have the time to read it.

CAFE PERUGINO

Duck Life | 2015

| 27 |

If you want to do your work in a tasteful atmosphere that’s not Starbucks, head to Café Perugino.

It’s a coffee shop with Italian flair: Everything on menu is Italian, from their cheeses to their panini to their superb cappuccinos (the best I’ve ever tried).This place is a fresh piece of Italy. Plus, if you want to get a taste of what Eugene residents are like, their clientele is mostly made up of working professionals.

Come nurture your need for adventure THE UO OUTDOOR PROGRAM HELPS STUDENTS FIND “COMMON ADVENTURE” The University of Oregon’s Outdoor Program (OP) Cooperative was born in 1967 when a few UO students began posting notes to share rides and gear for outdoor adventures. Since then, the OP has grown into a thriving program of trips, events, gear rentals, and resources, as well as a bike events, loans, and self-service maintenance shop.The OP is nationally recognized as a premier common adventure program in the country and the birthplace of modern collegiate outdoor programs.

The original “common adventure” model has been preserved at the OP. Students and co-op members have the opportunity to be trained as Trip Initiators, which allows them to plan trips, use our state vehicles for transportation, and facilitate consensus-style outdoor experiences.

These activities range from simple day hikes to more complex multi-day adventures, allowing participants to develop many different skills.

Trips

Trip Initiators are trained in a clinic that is held twice a term at the Outdoor Program.The Trip Initiator Advocate explains the “common adventure” model and the ways to safely and effectively facilitate a consensus adventure. Co-op members are informed about liability and instructed on how to properly launch a trip.

Throughout the year, the Outdoor Program also hosts a number of events. Historically, the OP has hosted film festival tours such as Banff Mountain Film Festival, Reel Rock, and Telluride Mountainfilm. After over two decades of outdoor service throughout Oregon, the OP continues to host service events for co-op members several times per term.

Additionally, throughout the term the OP hosts a number of workshops and clinics covering both outdoor and bike skills.

| 28 |

Duck Life | 2015

Trips are organized at and depart from the Outdoor Program Barn.

This facility, which is located at the southern entrance to campus, houses all of the rental gear, bike shop, as well as the OP office.The Barn showcases many sustainable technologies including the largest photovoltaic system on campus, as well as a rainwater catchment.

Bike Barn

When the Bike Program was established it created opportunities for students to access sustainable transportation. In addition to a term-loan fleet, commuter/cruiser bikes be rented by the day, great for visiting parents or friends, and also touring bikes for anyone trying to pedal through their next adventure.The Do-It-Yourself bike shop allows students to work on their bicycles and keep them in great condition.

Additionally, each term the Bike Program offers a comprehensive sixweek course which teaches the basics of bike maintenance.

Personal Trips

For anyone trying to arrange a personal trip, there is an immense rental program which offers gear for all your outdoor needs. For those exploring the backcountry, there are tents, sleeping bags/pads, stoves, and many other accessories.There is a large array of white water gear, including wetsuits, rafts, kayaks, and tubes.There is also a large selection of winter equipment with cross-country skis, snowboards, snowshoes, and winter gear. For a full look at everything the OP offers, take a look at the rental brochure on the OP webpage: outdoorprogram.uoregon.edu

Equipment Rental

The rental program is actually a recent part of the OP’s rich history.The OP Barn Trip Facility was built in 1991 to house the growing gear for OP trips and in 2003 OP gear rentals were made available for UO Student and OP Co-op member’s private trips.Through all the changes and growth, the OP remains true to its simple roots and founding concepts of cooperative, consensus-based, safe, fun, educational adventures for everyone.

Duck Life | 2015

Answer!

I am staring at a computer screen, clutching my stomach. My heart is pounding, my eyes are watering from laughing, and I am pretty sure the rest of the moisture in my entire body has just relocated to my palms. The gentleman on the other line continues. “Don’t eat a puppy and don’t pet a pizza. Figure out what you are good for and go right to it.” The man is a longtime alumnus of the University of Oregon, who quit his job as a professional writer to “tell stories for sandwiches.” For me, he is just one of the thousands of colorful people I have spoken to as a student fundraiser at the University of Oregon’s Annual Giving Program.

Located deep in the EMU basement, below the rubble of new construction and the frantic scramble of daily college life, is the home of the Annual Giving Program (AGP) Telefund.

The AGP Telefund is run by UO students who contact alumni, parents, and other supporters of the UO. During the calls, students share exciting updates and other meaningful information about the university, while simultaneously fundraising over half a million dollars each year for UO academic programs.

These calls are not only beneficial to the university, but to the student fundraisers themselves.The experience of being a student fundraiser looks great on a resume. Student callers like me are able to expand their skill-set by gaining experience working with an integrated calling system. Along with this, supervisors are also students, so there is plenty of room to move up the ladder.

Graduating senior Alex Duffant acknowledges the AGP Telefund taught him “many skills [he] will be taking into the workforce.” Moreover, “the hours are incredibly flexible to accommodate our class schedules and needed study

time. The student supervisors are super understanding and will work around your busy schedule to find shifts that work for you.”

Duffant also enjoys the social aspect of the AGP. “You sit next to two new people every day, so you’re almost forced to make friends,” he says.

“I love working there. My whole job is to talk to new people; what could be better?”

While there are rich benefits for student callers, the real impact that the AGP Telefund makes is on the university itself.

“People don’t realize that as a public school, the University of Oregon gets less than six percent of its funding from the government,” says Tyler Sperling, a recently hired student fundraiser. In fact, more than half of the UO’s funding comes from private support.“That is why this job is so important,” Sperling adds. It’s not only important, but also necessary.The AGP Telefund raised over $100,000 in the month of May just for the UO Library Fund. Sperling explains the money is part of a special campaign to support the eight UO Libraries efforts in providing essential resources for UO students.

“Our library is archiving millions of resources and putting them online for students for free,” he says.“This campaign we’re doing is affecting literally everyone within our student body.”

I am staring at my computer screen, clutching my stomach. My heart is pounding, my eyes are watering from laughing – and I have never been happier to go to work.

Caden Bohn is a sophomore journalism major who enjoys talking to UO alumni, romantic candlelit dinners under the soft breeze, and slow foot rubs. But not necessarily at the same time.

EUGENE WHERE ADVENTURE BEGINS TAMOLITCH BLUE POOL PART OF OREGON’S MCKENZIE RIVER TRAIL, LOCATED JUST AN HOUR OUTSIDE OF EUGENE

STAYING COOPED UP INSIDE YOUR ROOM IS NO WAY TO LIVE — NOT WHEN THERE’S SO MUCH NATURAL BEAUTY TO ENJOY SO NEARBY. WHETHER YOU ARE FEELING LIKE LACING UP YOUR HIKING BOOTS OR THROWING ON YOUR SWIM SUIT, THE EUGENE AREA HAS YOU COVERED WITH PLENTY OF NATURE ADVENTURES. LAKE CREEK FALLS ROCK SLIDES:

Located a little less than an hour outside of Eugene, the Lake Creek Falls Rock Slides are basically a natural water park. A small waterfall empties into a swimming hole near the entrance, and multiple cliff jumping platforms with various ropes and platforms at about 25-35 feet are located across the creek. Follow the creek a little farther down for the main attraction — a natural, 100-foot water slide. Made of gently sloping rock and emptying into a warm wading pool, the “water slide” can be ridden down on a variety of floaties.

SPENCER BUTTE:

Spencer Butte is a Eugene classic. Located at the southern edge of Eugene, the butte is a city landmark — the top of it is visible from downtown. Photos of your friends at the top of the butte will be popping up all over your Instagram newsfeed come sunny weather. And for good reason — the view is beautiful, and you only have to hike about a mile to get to the top (less if you take the West Route). Invite your floormates and have a bonding experience over melty trail mix and beautiful views.

WILLAMETTE RIVER TRAILS:

You don’t have to go far to enjoy the beautiful forests of the Pacific Northwest.There are plenty of easy trails to explore by the Willamette River, located between the University of Oregon campus and Autzen Stadium.

These trails are easy to walk or run, and are perfect for an afternoon jog if you are sick of the Rec Center. Grab a friend and explore a few, or enjoy some precious alone time away from campus walking by the water.

TERWILLIGER HOT SPRINGS:

Missing your hot tub at home? The hot springs at Terwilliger Springs are a good replacement. Six soaking pools and a lagoon are located in the middle of the Willamette National Forest, about 60 minutes from Eugene.

The hot springs are about a quarter mile hike from the parking lot and it costs $6 to get in. Once you get there, though, you’ll be greeted by six hot springs separated by rock walls. Let’s be real.Your hot tub can’t hold a candle to this.

MT. PISGAH ARBORETUM:

Haven’t seen enough trees in the Pacific Northwest? Visit Mt. Pisgah, Eugene’s 209-acre living tree museum. A 15 minute drive or 40 minute bus ride from the university, Mt. Pisgah has multiple trails, ranging from gentle strolls for beginners to intermediate hiking for the more experienced. If you want to learn more about the forests and wildlife of Oregon — and there’s a lot to learn — the arboretum also offers nature workshops and walks year round.

Buildings that

built history

Collier House

Johnson Hall

The Collier House used to house the president of the University.

Johnson Hall was the site of a bombing.

The Collier House was owned by physics professor George Collier and was built in 1886. Until 1893, the house was one of three buildings on campus (the other two were Villard and Deady).

The UO purchased the house in 1896 with the intention of using it to house its female students. Instead, the first floor was used to keep the UO’s growing library, while the second floor was used as the president’s residence. It housed four presidents in between 1896 to 1936, including Prince Campbell and Donald Erb.

The administrative building was added to campus in 1916 and designed by Oregon’s first State Architect William Christmas Knighton. In its nearly 100 years on campus, Johnson Hall has seen UO through some of its more tumultuous times — including Vietnam War protests and a bombing.

Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Money for the EMU was fundraised by students.

The Erb Memorial Union’s current renovation is not the first time students have offered to pay fees for their student union.

In the 1920s, students decided they wanted a union to go to between class, and in the 1940s students fundraised to pay for the building.

At the cost of a $5 per term student fee (the In 1970, Johnson Hall equivalent of about $67 was the site of an explosion — caused by today), students raised the money to pay for five sticks of dynamite set outside its basement the union.The project was a success — the window. It was one of EMU first opened its several buildings on doors in 1950. By 1969, campus that was the though, the building target of bombings between the late 1960s could no longer support the school’s 15,154 and early 1970s, a list students. So students that included $75,000 once again initiated damage done to Prince Lucien Campbell Hall in a project to build the October 1970. Johnson’s union’s second half, which is currently damage was estimated under construction. at $8,660.The bomber was never identified.

Straub Hall

Deady Hall

Straub Hall was used as the men’s dormitory.

A skeleton was found in Deady Hall.

Before Straub Hall was home to the Psychology and Linguistics department, it was used to house hundreds of students as a men’s dormitory in the 1920s.

The University of Oregon’s oldest building, Deady Hall opened in 1876 when the UO opened.

Now attached to the Earl Complex, Straub was originally named the “Men’s Dormitory” and housed 300 when it was built in 1928.

Though it is no longer used as housing, the construction model for the “Men’s Dormitory” was adopted in many of the current residence halls — a U shaped complex made up of multiple units or “halls” each given their own names and meant to be self-governing.

Of course, a building this old has seen a few mysteries.The year after the building opened, Professor Thomas Condon found a perfectly preserved skeleton in the basement, according to the 1877 issue of the Oregon State Journal.

The skeleton was later identified as A. Oakley Hall, a man from New York who had been missing. No explanation was found for why he ended up in Oregon.

Dear U O Student,

If your courses don’t challenge you, you’re probably missing something. University study is designed to push you: your skills, your thinking, your ambitions.The work is hard, and the results worthwhile.

But you don’t need to take on this challenge alone. A team of tutors, teachers, advisors, and advocates awaits you in the Teaching and Learning Center. Don’t miss the opportunity for a dose of inspiration, information, and innovation.

After all, to be at our best, we should use everything available to us.

That’s why we’re so happy when we can help students who are striving to be more confident, more efficient, less stressed—and more successful.

At TLC, our work is a joy partly because such successes are quite evident.These are just a handful of the comments your fellow Ducks have shared with us recently: The ideas I learned are making my life sooo much easier.

I really liked the tips for studying and dealing with stress that I hadn’t heard before.

The tutors are knowledgeable, clear, and encouraging!

I loved learning how to carve out time for everything, and how to keep my head together when test anxiety kicks in during midterms and exams.

They really understood what I was going through, and they addressed specific ways to improve the challenges I was facing.

Hearing about other students’ problems made me feel less alone.

I love this place!

What will you say about your visit to TLC? We can’t wait to find out.

Good Eats at UO Housing

Dining at the University of Oregon is both unique and incredibly versatile. Our dining experience is tailored to our students, faculty, staff, and guests. No matter what kind of food you are looking for or if you have specific dietary restrictions or preferences, we can help you out!

Our campus dining locations offer an unmatched variety that will take care of you, whether you’re in the mood for an all-you-careto-eat meal, food on the go, customizable bowls made-to-order, or a simple coffee and pastry.

In addition to unique and delicious meal options, the University of Oregon also strives to keep sustainable and support local. We purchase many of our foods from local farms and focus on foods in season. We even have “Farm to Fork” dinners that celebrate seasonal Oregon-grown foods with dishes that use ingredients from local providers.

• Barnhart Dining: Known for its over-the-top weekend brunch.

Barnhart Dining offers everything from rice bowls with salmon to their signature spicy-sweet dynamite tater tots.

Puddles Cafe has coffee drinks, pastries and milkshakes in the evenings.

• Big Mouth Burrito: Create your own burrito, taco or salad filled with local, organic ingredients and top everything off with a trip to the salsa bar.

140 MUST-SEE CHARACTERS Your RA will make sure you put University of Oregon’s Designated Driver Shuttle in your phone, but most likely won’t tell you which UO Twitter accounts to follow. In the past year, several helpful, strange and hilarious accounts have entered the Twittersphere, bringing students together in just 140 characters or less.

@UOFreePizza

@WinTheDay

@UOCrushes

Hands down the most important Twitter account you may ever follow, this account tweets about where free pizza is on campus. Hint: Most of the free pizza comes from cool campus groups and events.

If you’re ever wondering what the new Oregon uniforms will look like during the fall, keep a close eye on @WinTheDay, the football team’s official Twitter account.

You’ll get everything from stories about players penned by the athletic department, The Emerald and other newspapers to sneak peeks behind the scenes at Autzen Stadium.

Twenty-first century love is alive and well as proven by this frisky Twitter account. @UOCrushes takes anonymous crush submissions which it then posts on the feed. Sometimes the descriptions are vague, sometimes people’s names are called out.

Tweets include “Blond behind me in HPHY 104, you’re gorgeous!” and “Blonde girl with gray sweater at rennies, made a mistake not inviting you to our table.” Word is not out on the matchmaking effectiveness of the account, but it sure is entertaining. And who knows? Maybe you’ll see your own name in a shout-out.

| 44 |

Duck Life | 2015

So, not only does the account provide a much-needed break from dorm food, but it exposes you to various campus groups you may not have heard of.

Expand your stomach and your mind.

Follow @UOFreePizza and you’ll also get a taste of all the pizza Eugene has to offer.

As an added bonus, the account entertains with witty pizza jokes and photos.

For the uninitiated the Twitter handle stems from Chip Kelly’s philosophy of taking each season one game at a time and focusing on winning the day.

@UOSAA From significant opportunities such as “Alumni Speed Networking” to casual updates about life on campus, as a wellinformed Duck, you’ll want to follow @uosaa. The account is full of news and information that keeps UO students up to date on everything Duck related. It’s core mission is to help enhance the student experience at the university and the UO Student Alumni Association does this well. They’re one of the most well connected groups on campus and want to share everything they know with you to make your stay here at the university a memorable one.

To remind us that college is about more than pizza and that cute guy in your Anthropology class, the UO Career Center twitter account links relevant articles and tweets about on campus career events. Tweets include “If you could ask a Google Project Manager one question, what would it be? #careerinsights” and “Reply what questions you have about getting a job in management.

We’ll get answers.” @ UOCareerCenter is perfect for bite-sized career advice in between classes. Plus, Mom will be proud you’re using your smart phone for career betterment.

SPORTING EVENTS YOU MUST SEE FOOTBALL There’s nothing like a Saturday afternoon at Autzen Stadium.The Ducks have held lofty expectations ever since their first national championship appearance back in 2011 and this year will be no different. Mark Helfrich’s squad made it to the inaugural College Football Playoff championship game this year, cementing Oregon as a powerhouse in the new era of NCAA Division I football.The Civil War returns to Autzen Stadium this year, a mustsee event that gets Oregon fans riled up all around the state.

ACROBATICS AND TUMBLING The Oregon Acrobatics and Tumbling team is a four time NCATA national champion. It’s safe to say that this team is full of fierce competitors who do amazing stunts and tricks.The team has a couple of home matches each year at Matthew Knight Arena.

OREGON CLUB HOCKEY Hockey is a sport not too familiar to the Pacific Northwest, but Oregon’s club hockey team often brings thrilling action to Eugene during the fall and winter terms.The team plays all of its games at the Lane County Ice Center.

The hockey rivalry between the Ducks and the Washington Huskies is as bitter as it is during football season, so that’s always an exciting match.

VOLLEYBALL Under head coach Jim Moore, the Oregon volleyball team has made the NCAA Tournament for the past three seasons.Two years ago they fell in the championships to Texas and last year made it to the second round, losing to Nebraska.The team should once again face tough competition in the Pac-12.

Look out for games against top teams like Washington, USC and Stanford.

CROSS COUNTRY

| 46 |

Duck Life | 2015

Running is kind of a big deal here, so make sure to check out the sole home cross country meet, the Bill Dellinger Invitational at the Springfield Country Club. It’s usually at the beginning of the season and fans follow the runners around the golf course cheering them on. Also, make sure to attend an event at the historic Hayward Field.The Pepsi Innovational, Oregon Twilight and the NCAA Championships are a few of the exciting meets in Eugene.

OREGON CLUB RUGBY Rugby is a gruesome game. Both the men’s and women’s club rugby teams at Oregon play at the Riverfront Fields in Eugene during winter term. Last season, the men’s team finished fourth overall in the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference behind Central Washington (1), Washington (2), and Western Washington (3). In addition, the Civil War is another big game for the squad.
