UO STUDENTS
TAKE ON FASHION ➡ HAILEY
UO Senior advertising major Matthew Sorensen and graduate Rachel Ellam cofounded photo group Modish Mint.
GELLER, @HGELLER30
My love for fashion began at a young age with treasured Barbie overalls, Dr. Martens and neon jelly shoes. The University of Oregon is a school with programs that are highly ranked in a national context. But there’s no program for fashion. Instead, I combined my keen eye for design and style with my love for writing in the advertising program. Many UO students are finding similar solutions in combining their majors with their interests in the fashion industry — from blogs to creative projects to successful clothing lines.
Design and Entrepreneurship A number of UO students and alumni, especially those in business and/or product design, have successfully started their own fashion lines and businesses. Kelsey Curtis, a product design major, aims to be one of them. She handmakes clothing, jewelry and other goods and plans to open a shop called Cedar & Pine with her roommate, Anna Post, also a product design student. Last June, they even sold these items at a booth at the UO Campus Block Party. To those interested in creating your own brand, Curtis suggested, “Immerse yourself in other cultures and environments with a wide variety of people. The internet is also a great resource. I find a lot of inspiration from style icons, clothing brands and photographers.”
Creative Projects and Photography
Blogging and Publications
Another way these students have begun to break into the industry is through various creative projects — many involving photography. One of those students is Matthew Sorensen, a senior advertising student, who was also on the Emerald’s photobooth team last year. His latest work is on Modish Mint, a fashion-centric photography project. The group was co-founded with Rachel Ellam, who is the featured model and a recently graduated advertising major. “We found that we had so many of the same artistic interests and wanted to keep a partnership going. That’s how Modish was born,” Sorensen said. “The feedback we’ve received has been amazing and we can’t wait to share the next few sets we have lined up.” Sorensen’s advice for those interested in photography is this: “Go for it. If you have any doubt in your mind that you can’t do something, you won’t.”
Students who are interested in writing and fashion have plenty of opportunities to publish their work both on and off campus. On campus, Dressed Up Ducks is a great place to start. The blog showcases outfits of UO students about three times a week and is run by a group of current students mostly in the UO School of Journalism and Communication. Similarly, Her Campus Oregon, the UO chapter of a national online publication aimed toward college-aged women, hires a handful of student fashion writers each term. Kaitlyn Garish, a recently graduated sociology major, interned for six months at College Fashionista, an online website that helps collegiates keep up with the latest trends. For other students interested in a fashion career, Garish suggested, “Find opportunities and internships that can help you and teach you some important things about fashion. Starting your own blog will help you gain experience as well.”
The 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.

đ&#x;”Ś NEWS The expansion of the West Eugene EmX line is taking a toll on residents in the area.
EMX LINE CONSTRUCTION BUILDS NOISE ➥ NOAH
M C G R AW, @ M C N O A H M C G R AW
On June 22, Daniel Eubank couldn’t sleep. Across the street from his home, about 100 feet from his window, construction for a new stop on the West Eugene EmX bus line had begun. A long ditch was being dug where the corner of West 6th Avenue and Polk Street used to be. Close to the intersection, B & G Automotive is decorated with “NO Build� signs protesting the expansion. A continuous “very loud, whining screech,� along with truck backup alarms and occasional bangs, kept Eubank up for most of that night. The next morning he contacted Lane Transit District to ask about noise mitigation strategies. He did not receive a response until June 29, when an LTD representative offered to loan him an air conditioner to reduce outside noise. “The offer did not apply to the other families in my neighborhood,� Eubank said, “some much closer to the construction site.� He turned down the offer, hoping for a more permanent solution, one that involved official mitigation strategies proposed by the Federal Transit Administration. Long before construction crews were drilling close to the Eubank household, residents have demonstrated considerable pushback against LTD’s westward extension of its rapid bus line, which was approved by the Eugene City Council in fall 2012. They opposed the extension for various reasons, PA G E 3

including disrupting businesses in the area, costing too much and the fact that several bus lines already run on the planned route. Our Money Our Transit (OMOT), a group opposed to the extension, filed a lawsuit against the city of Eugene that was rejected by a judge in July 2014. According to the environmental assessment of the expansion project, compiled by the FTA in July 2012, when LTD receives specific complaints from residents about construction noise, the contractor could be required to put one of several mitigation strategies in place. These include relocating equipment, rescheduling construction or placing acoustic barriers around construction sites. When nighttime construction ended on June 9, none of these mitigation strategies had been adopted. “It is noisy, there’s no doubt about that,� said Andy Vobora, director of customer services and planning for LTD. But as to a noise reduction strategy, “there really isn’t [one],� said Vobora. “We have to stay below standards, which I understand to be pretty high in Eugene.� Because 6th Avenue is a state freight route, LTD had no option about working at night. It was required, according to Vobora. Contractors prefer working at night because there is less traffic, and it allows them to “move through there as quickly as possible,� said Vobora.
Construction noise between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. is prohibited by section 6.750d of the city code, but because the work is contracted through the City of Eugene, EmX is exempt from most regulations. The Oregon Department of Transportation is not currently aware of any code violations by LTD. Noise hasn’t been the only issue that construction in the area has posed. Bob Machione, a representative for OMOT, said an apartment on West 6th Avenue experienced separated sewer pipes due to vibrations caused by construction. LTD is still on “phase one� of the extension, which spans West 6th and 7th Avenues from Charnelton to Garfield Street. They are just starting outreach to businesses west of Garfield, notifying them of upcoming construction noise. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2017. In the morning following a sleepless night, a letter arrived in Eubank’s mailbox informing him of nighttime construction that would occur near his home. Inside: two free bus passes. “I’m not against EmX expansion,� Eubank said. “I’m not even against working at night.� Eubank just wants the residents of Eugene to be heard. “Some token would make me feel better,� he said. “More than some free bus passes.�

MINOR LEAGUE, MAJOR PLAYER ➥ JOSEPH
Ian Happ heads for first base after breaking a no-hitter in a game against the Hillsboro Hops on July 17.
PA G E 4
EMERALD
M O N D AY, J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 1 5
H OY T, @ J OE J H OY T
It’s the final game of the series on July 17, and the Hillsboro Hops have reached the seventh inning without allowing a single batter from the Eugene Emeralds to reach base. Ian Happ, 20, steps up to the plate the same way he has for every at-bat in the last six innings — cool, calm and collected. This time it works. Happ connects for a double, and the Emeralds’ first hit. “The kid is never fazed,� said Chris Happ, Ian’s older brother. “In a game where you fail 70 percent of the time, you need to have that. You need the ability to respond to a double the same way you do a strikeout.� That’s why, Chris said, you’ll see one steady expression under the brim of Ian’s cap – no matter how he performs on the diamond. On June 10, Ian was selected by the Chicago Cubs with the ninth overall pick in the MLB Draft, and later assigned to play for the Cubs’ minor league affiliate, the Eugene Emeralds. Besides $3 million, Ian also signed on to a hefty set of expectations. He’s following the same path of Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber, the organization’s previous two first-round selections who are now both playing in the major leagues. Current Eugene Emeralds Manager Gary Van Tol coached both Bryant and Schwarber for the Boise Hawks, the Cubs’ previous short-season single A affiliate. He said Happ’s talent is comparable to his predecessors.
“Ian comes to the ballpark every day with his lunch bucket and his hard hat, and he goes to work,� Van Tol said. “That’s the type of player he is, and that’s why we selected him with our first pick.� Ian doesn’t look at Bryant’s and Schwarber’s rise through the Cubs minor league system, where the organization hopes players will transform from prospects to pros, as a bar he’s expected to measure up to. “You can’t put pressure on yourself to be as good as those guys,� Ian said. “You have to just play the game and enjoy the process.� Both the Happ brothers went to Mount Lebanon High School, located in a suburb of Pittsburgh. Chris, who is six years older than Ian, was playing baseball for Mount Lebanon. There was a batting cage right by the school. After Ian was done with his classes, his father, Keith, would pick him up with a bucket of baseballs ready in the car. The two would head to the cages to throw and hit for hours while Chris practiced with his high school team. Chris says his brother’s stoic demeanor doesn’t reflect his passion for the game; it’s a testament to his mental fortitude — a trait Chris saw in Ian from a young age. Every game was business for the Little Leaguer. “I always joked that he acted like a big leaguer when he was an 8-year-old,� Chris said. “But that’s just the way he played the game.�
P H O T O G R A P H B Y C O O P E R G R E E N , @ C LY G R E E N
Ian inherited more than just work ethic from his father. Keith also taught his son how to keep his emotions in check through the highs and lows of the game, said Chris. Before Ian went to play at Cincinnati University, his brother talked with him about what to expect. Chris played infield at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. There, he saw the disparity between the average collegiate baseball player and the greats. “We still talk everyday,” Ian said. “He’s been that guy for me through my entire career, [from the time] I was little, but especially in high school and all the way through college. He’s been an unbelievable resource for me.” Chris attended Ian’s first game for the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod league in Massachusetts the summer after his freshman season in 2013. Ian turned a two-week temporary contract into a summer-long gig, playing six days a week. He separated himself, once again, from the best amateur prospects in the country. When Ian was recovering from a surgery to repair a sports hernia before the start of his junior season, Chris was there.
When the two are not talking about the business side of baseball, the conversations are filled with laughs. When Ian was recovering from his surgery, that was an issue. “He couldn’t laugh because of the pain he was in,” Chris said, pausing to laugh himself. “It was hard for me to be around him. One look at him and he’d start laughing.” Following the surgery, in his junior year at the University of Cincinnati, Ian was a consensus first-team All-American and American Conference Player of the Year. Chris was also there for Ian on draft night. Chris was tense. After two years of hearing that his brother was going to be a first-round pick, he wanted the wait to be over. Ian was different. Once again, Chris described him as cool, calm and collected. “He always is,” Chris said. Chris is a currency trader in Chicago. When Ian was selected by the Cubs, the two talked about the possibility of being in the same city again in the future. “He’s going to have to stay in Chicago for a while,” Ian joked.
Ian will play in his 30th professional game Monday night when the Emeralds head up north to take on the Vancouver Canadians. Van Tol sees a similar skill level between all three of the last first-round picks for Chicago. Although Ian hasn’t yet attained the same level of play as his predecessors, he’s heading in the right direction. The Cubs franchise is optimistic about Ian’s development. “We want them to dominate the level they’re at,” Van Tol said, “and if it takes them a little bit more time, we have the patience.” Chris believes there’s no reason why Ian shouldn’t excel in the professional ranks. Behind his cool exterior, Chris said Ian is hungrier than ever to succeed in Eugene and eventually join Bryant and Schwarber in the major leagues. “I think there’s a bright future ahead, and I’m looking forward to it,” Chris said.
Emerald sports reporter Kenny Jacoby contributed reporting to this story.

New Horizons, a NASA probe, recently passed Pluto. The probe returned a set of high definition images.
PLUTO IS BACK ➥ EDER
CAMPUZANO, @EDERCAMPUZANO
It’s been nearly a decade since scientists decided Pluto isn’t a member of that prestigious gang of celestial bodies surrounding our sun. We’ve been told the icy world isn’t a planet since 2006, but over the last few days it sure hasn’t felt that way. That’s because New Horizons, a probe the size of a grand piano launched that same year, has finally arrived at its destination. And with the photos and data the vessel has sent back to Earth, we’re learning more about Pluto than we ever have in the 85 years since it was discovered. Ever since NASA started releasing high definition images of Pluto last week — the first ever at these distances — I’ve been taken back to my elementary school years, when dinosaurs and space travel ruled my imagination. As stated time and again by various news organizations and space blogs, this is the first time in a generation that we’ve collected this much new information on another world in our solar system. It’s exciting stuff. I lost hours at a time catching up on the research and images that NASA released as the week went on. It was like discovering

the solar system for the first time all over again. Picture after picture, news story after news story formed questions and mental exclamations as I read through explainers and watched videos on the mission. What’s the heart-shaped valley on the bottom right corner of that photo? Mountains? Why are there mountains on Pluto? That tiny ball of ice hasn’t orbited the sun even once since the American Revolution? Really? It’s that same child-like wonder that had me drawing maps and models of the planets back at Memorial Elementary School in McMinnville. While teachers droned on and on about multiplication tables, adjectives and nouns, I was sketching Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and imagining what it might be like to visit Neptune. (Admittedly, at the time I thought it was all one big ocean.) Since then, I’ve harbored a minor interest in space — it’s insanely beautiful, after all — but years of developing the right side of my brain made me file away whatever desire I had to truly pursue space with a passion. Besides, the sheer amount of math
required to pass the midterm and final exams in the astronomy classes I’ve taken at the University of Oregon had me cursing silently right up to the moment I handed them in. Even so, whenever I go camping, I make it a point to sneak away alone for a moment, gaze at the sky and ponder the vast expanses of space and the relatively tiny worlds that pepper our solar system. In my mind, we’ve still got 10 planets, even if experts say otherwise. Pluto gets a pass, just like I did as an honorary member of my high school’s cross-country team for a month one summer. (That’s how my presence at team events and games of ultimate was justified.) For one week, it also felt like Pluto was back in the same club as Earth, Mars and Jupiter in the eyes of the rest of the world. At the same time, I was right back in that third-grade classroom, neglecting whatever practical lessons my teacher was drawing up on the blackboard and imagining what it would be like to visit another world. Thanks for that, NASA.

Springfield is the more beautiful course. There, you have the ability to play alongside the Mohawk River for a number of holes on the back nine. The course also supplies an eatery that makes for a great pit stop along the course. RiverRidge is arguably the more popular course because it’s located in town, so I’d recommend making tee time reservations 24-48 hours in advance. I enjoy Springfield more because it offers more opportunities to test my skills throughout the golf course. While RiverRidge is a more standard course, Springfield offers more difficult hole locations. At the latter, the cup locations on the green are constantly changed for different approach shots depending on the day. Outside of Eugene, golfers can travel to Diamond Woods or Emerald Valley. Diamond Woods is about 25 minutes north, located at 96040 Territorial Hwy. in Monroe, and offers pristine scenery to go along with a difficult layout. Emerald Valley is about 20 minutes south, located at 83301 Dale Kuni Rd. in Creswell, and tests golfers with rolling hills and little room for mistakes. Diamond Woods is my favorite golf course in the area because it makes you use every club in your bag over the course of a round. From par-3 holes where you can’t afford a misplaced shot to par-5 holes where it’s best to end up on a different fairway, Diamond Woods challenges you in every way. In the end, what makes golf in the Eugene area special is the variety. From true tests of your golfing ability to hitting balls with beer on hand, there’s always a course to play.

One of my favorite ways to take advantage of the summer weather is to hit little white balls as far as I can. The number of golf courses in the Eugene area provides plenty of opportunities to players of all skill levels to do just that. Players with skills ranging from first-timer to beginner can find a place to practice at Oakway or The Nines, while seasoned veterans can expect to hit all types of shots at Diamond Woods or Emerald Valley. Every course in the area is reasonably priced (around $20-$40 per round). I’ve had the luxury of playing several courses in the area at least three times over the past year and my score has not only drastically improved, but I’ve also found different challenges at each one. Oakway, located at 2000 Cal Young Rd., and The Nines, the smaller course located at the RiverRidge Golf Complex at 3800 N Delta Hwy., are the perfect pitch and putt courses for all types of golfers in Eugene. Because the distances at these two courses are much shorter than at others, you can play a full round in three hours. Beginners don’t have to worry about losing so many balls, while the veterans can practice by using irons that strengthen their short games. And though both offer golf carts, they’re hardly needed due to the short distances. The local 18-hole courses reside at RiverRidge (the same location as The Nines) and Springfield Country Club at 90333 Sunderman Rd. in Springfield. Each course presents different types of obstacles. Springfield plays longer and a little bit more open, while RiverRidge is much more about control and distance shots.
