Cheerful. Generous. Inquisitive. Driven. The kind of person that restores your faith in humanity. These were the words used again and again by family, friends, colleagues and mentors to describe Pedro Rivera, who would have been a senior economics major at the University of Oregon this fall. Pedro, 21, was found dead in his Eugene apartment on July 15. The cause of death is still unknown, according to his sister, Ruth Rivera, though evidence suggests it was due to natural causes. Pedro was born in Inglewood, California and moved to southern Oregon as a young child, where he graduated from Phoenix High School in 2012. During his three years at UO, he was continuously recognized for his academic achievement. He was on the Dean’s List several times, volunteered with Eugene’s Centro Latino Americano’s youth mentoring program and was awarded the Diversity Excellence Scholarship and the Alanson H. Kleinsorge Economics Scholarship. He was also in the McNair Scholars Program, preparing for graduate school leading to a Ph.D. Meanwhile, he worked 20 hours a week

at the Architecture and Allied Arts Library, and maintained close relationships with his friends, family and girlfriend of four years, UO student Sophia Pankowski. Alan Sylvestre, a UO alumnus who graduated last year, worked at the A&AA Library with Pedro for about two years. They quickly became friends on and off the job, occasionally meeting between classes to study, run or play frisbee when the sun was out. “I think the best way to describe Pedro is ‘selfless,’� he said. One morning last year, they arrived around 8 a.m. to an opening shift at the library. Before getting to work, the two talked briefly, and Sylvestre explained that he missed breakfast because he slept in late. Despite being on crutches with a broken leg at the time, Pedro surprised Sylvestre by attempting to buy him breakfast at the nearby cafe. “I didn’t even notice until he was hobbling about halfway down the hall,� Sylvestre said, laughing. Pedro’s obliging and ambitious attitude was prominent not only in his friendships, but also in his role as an employee. “I still remember going to library personnel to look at student job applications. Pedro had just left after filling one out. Someone handed his application to me and said, ‘This kid is really great,’ and it was absolutely true,� said Karen Bankole, Pedro and Sylvestre’s supervisor.
“He was brilliant and was always thinking, and always asking questions about everything he was thinking. He loved understanding things and fixing things and finding solutions to problems,� Bankole said. Pedro’s two younger sisters, Ruth and Evelyn Rivera, are also UO students and A&AA Library employees. The trio was as close as siblings can be. “Pedro was an amazing older brother,� Evelyn said. “He was young, but very wise.� Evelyn said her favorite memories of Pedro included the nights they spent talking about their dreams until 3 a.m. From “becoming the CEO of a company� to “becoming a senator,� Pedro’s dreams had no limit. All he knew for sure was that he wanted to be in a position to help people, to make positive change. He was determined to make that a reality, Evelyn said. “There’s nothing I can ever say to describe what the world is missing because of Pedro not being with us anymore,� Sylvestre said. “He’s completely irreplaceable.� Pedro’s funeral took place July 24, at 11 a.m. The Rivera family is asking for donations to help out with the funeral expenses, which can be given through their GoFundMe page.

HOW TO ACE YOUR NEXT JOB INTERVIEW ➡ ANDREA Health Psychologist Kelly McGonigal
H A R V E Y, @ A N D R E A R H A R V E Y
About two years ago, University of Oregon alumnus Will Cuddy arrived to his callback audition for a role in the film Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon. Nervous, he tried something unusual: He posed like Superman in the nearby restroom and counted down from 120 before heading into the audition. “I walked in feeling completely at ease,” Cuddy said. “I finished up and walked out knowing I did my best. I never feel like that walking out of an audition.” Later, he found out that he got the part. He credits that success to Amy Cuddy (unrelated to Will), a social psychologist and Harvard business professor featured in one of the most viewed TED Talk videos, who created the power stance theory that Will tested before his interview. He even took her to the movie’s premiere in Boston a year later. Amy said that holding power stances — such as the Superman pose for two minutes can increase confidence and decrease stress levels, leading to improved performance at tasks like job interviews. This TED Talk is one of many offering expert knowledge and advice that have provided people with the kick-start needed to ignite their careers. Here are a few others to prepare you for your next big interview.
1. Kelly McGonigal: “How to Make Stress your Friend” Psychologist Kelly McGonical talks about stress, but tells a side of the story most don’t know. McGonical said that it has equal power to do good as it has to do bad. Simply knowing and remembering this in the moment can significantly affect the body’s reaction to stress. The takeaway: If you’re stressed about your next interview, remember that it’s ultimately up to you how your performance is affected by it. If you choose to believe that the stress is destructive, it will be. If you choose to believe that stress is your body’s way of preparing you for a challenge, it will. Social Psychologist Amy Cuddy

2. Alain de Botton: “A kinder, gentler philosophy of success” In this video, Alain de Botton, a philosopher, criticizes the way our culture views failure and success. In a meritocratic society, he said, one usually believes that success is earned and deserved. Likewise, that also means we believe that failure is equally as earned as deserved. But often times, that’s not the case. In another TED Talk more focused on failure, economist Larry Smith makes several arguments about why we fail to get our dream jobs. The takeaway: It’s likely that the chances of you getting the job may depend on your skill just as much as luck. So don’t take rejection too personally. While it’s important to learn as much as we can from these situations, it’s also important to protect your self-esteem.
3. Ashwini Mrinal Bhagat: “What I learned from 32 grueling interviews” Ashwini Mrinal Bhagat, now a successful TED Global Human Resources team member for State Street India, endured 32 interviews before finally landing a job. The takeaway: Don’t give up. Like Bhagat, you may have to do several of these. As we learned in the last one, rejection may not always be your fault. But if one thing’s sure, you’re not going to get your dream job if you stop trying. Above all, TED Talks show us the power of anecdotes. Nearly everyone starts with a story that exemplifies the point they’re about to make. The ultimate takeaway here is that stories are more powerful, interesting and believable than simple explanations. So instead of telling your potential future employer how much of a “team player” you are, tell them a story about a time when you helped lead your team to success. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to let your personality show. Chances are you’re not the first qualified candidate they’ve interviewed, so give them a reason to remember you above the rest.

WORKING IN TANDEM Plans for the 13th Avenue bikeway resemble the current layout of the two-way path on Alder Street.
➥ EMERSON
MALONE, @EMALONE
After University of Oregon graduate David Minor, 27, was struck and killed while riding his bicycle on the corner of East 13th Avenue and Willamette Street in 2008, a bike was chained to a post at the intersection in his memory. The “Ghost Bike� is a somber reminder of David’s fate, and emblematic of the often unsafe conditions for cyclists on 13th – Eugene’s most popular biking corridor and a one-way thoroughfare that many UO students take to get to campus. Zip-tied to David’s memorial is a sheet of paper that reads, “What if there were a safe 2-way buffered bike path similar to the one on Alder St. on the west side of campus?� Following increased concern over cyclist safety on 13th, UO student group LiveMove aimed to answer the same question. In 2012, the group — which focuses on transportation and livability issues within the community — began drafting a report to dramatically renovate the avenue. The redesign recommended installing a two-way bike path to streamline the campus commute along the 10 blocks. The city government has since approved the project, as well as conducted more public outreach, solicited feedback, consulted business and property owners along 13th, reworked the designs and applied for

grants to fund the project. “When the group started this project a few years ago, it came from students’ concerns. It wasn’t even on the city’s radar,� said LiveMove President Dana Nichols. “Now the city has really taken it on as its own project.� David’s parents, Eugene residents John and Susan Minor, offered $150,000 to support the avenue’s redesign. John and Susan have asked that the bikeway be named The David Minor Bikeway in memory of their son. Eugene’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee has also set aside $150,000 for when the project is installed. LiveMove originally slated the project’s completion for summer 2015, but the grant application process may push the installation to summer 2017 at the earliest, said Rob Inerfeld, the transportation planning manager for the City of Eugene. Joe McAndrew, a UO and LiveMove alumnus, worked as one of the three project managers on the group’s 13th Avenue concept plan. “I hope the city and university can work to find the funding needed to improve safety and access between downtown, housing and the university soon,� said McAndrew. In 2012, 13th & Olive, the massive student-housing

complex, was being developed. The apartments would house up to 1,300 tenants, and the influx of students would need an efficient way to travel to and from campus, about a mile away. Getting to campus on bike on the eastbound 13th Avenue is easy enough, but the return trip is more problematic. Some cyclists leaving campus use the sidewalk at Hilyard and 13th (where the westbound lane ends), instead of heading north to 12th Avenue to go west. Counts from LiveMove and city government found that 30-40 percent of cyclists do the same. Not only does this demonstrate the need for easier bike access on 13th, both LiveMove and city officials argue, but it creates a hazard for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists, who may not be looking for cyclists on the sidewalk. Two-way cycle tracks have already been installed in cities across the country, such as New York City and Washington D.C. LiveMove’s comprehensive 86-page report (which can be read on the group’s website) titled “Downtown-Campus Corridor Concept Plan” recognizes the potential for two-way bike lanes. The report visualized a two-way cyclist track painted in green, separated by a dotted line and buffered from the vehicle traffic. The Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association recognized LiveMove’s work with the Student Achievement in Planning award in May 2014. The report determined that 13th would be the optimal route, as opposed to the alternatives. According to public feedback, it’s uncomfortable to ride next to cars and buses on 11th Avenue. 12th Avenue is an indirect route that’s bumpy, crosses

busy intersections and is full of stop signs. 13th proved to be right in the Goldilocks zone, with a direct route between campus and downtown. Inerfeld said that the project will cost roughly $1.5 million to $2 million, and those funds are not available, yet. The steep price tag is because existing traffic signals will be upgraded or newly installed. The city has applied for at least two grants for the project, including one from the Oregon Department of Transportation’s All Roads Transportation Safety Program for about $1.3 million, and another grant for $1 million from the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization. Inerfeld said it’s a high priority to get the project funded, but it’s in a holding pattern until then. However, the grant application process is complicated, since the city is also applying for finances for competing infrastructure projects around town. Additionally, Inerfeld claimed the campus area has been decently accommodated in recent years, with the re-striping of Alder Street and concurrent redesign of 13th between Alder and Kincaid in 2012, the re-paving of 18th Avenue in 2008 and improvements made to Agate Street. “This is a relatively big city, and we have to make sure we’re investing in neighborhoods all around Eugene,” he said. Springfield Transportation Planner Emma Newman echoed this statement. “There’s only so much money,” said Newman, who contributed research to the redesign as a UO student and member of LiveMove. “There are so
many other priorities across the city that things happen on a slower bureaucratic timeline.” Newman joined the student group during a consultation with Congressman Peter DeFazio’s staff to request federal finances. In March, Karen Hyatt, the UO’s director of local community and neighborhood relations, and City Engineer Mark Shoening drafted a letter endorsing the project to Gov. Kate Brown’s Transportation Advisor Karmen Fore. The letter asks for state and/or federal funds for the project. “The UO has a strong self-interest in ensuring that people who access and leave campus by bike do so safely and comfortably and values that bicycling is integral to the community culture,” read the letter. “We are pursuing many different traditional options for project funding, but many do not seem likely before 2020 and we are anxious to get started.” Despite this letter of support, the UO has not put any money down to endorse the plan. “This is a badly needed project and it’d be great to see the university step up and collaborate with the city to get it completed,” said McAndrew. “While not on the grounds of campus, I feel [the UO] has a responsibility to provide students, faculty, and visitors safe access to and from the school.” You can donate to help the 13th Avenue redesign at DavidMinorBikeway.com. Those interested can also write to Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy and the Eugene City Council members. “The more students know about it, the more they’ll pressure the community, and the more likely it’ll happen,” said Newman.

Eugene has an off-campus
HOUSING PROBLEM ➥ THOMAS
As more high-density residential developments spring up around campus, University of Oregon students should become increasingly concerned. Although they offer luxurious amenities and convenient locations, Eugene’s student housing boom threatens to fundamentally transform students’ place in the local community. Most importantly, high-density developments like The Patterson and 13th & Olive, alienate students from their neighbors. These buildings are concrete sanctuaries, replete with high-tech security systems and automated gates. While the idea of safety is comforting, such measures keep students and local residents at arm’s length. Students should be involved in their communities, even if it’s as simple as volunteering for the neighborhood watch, planting flowers or going to a city council meeting. But in a secure highrise, there’s little chance for the kinds of neighborly interaction that produce such efforts. Students from out of state risk living in a bubble for four years, only making memories of sitting in class and visiting other sterile apartments. College students also don’t need granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, heated swimming pools, fancy cabinets or rooftop fire pits. Indeed, most graduates won’t be able to match that standard of living for the foreseeable future – so why set the bar so high, so early? Your college apartment shouldn’t be nicer than your first home. That perceived desire for unnecessary luxury leads to the construction of big new buildings, which in turn poses an aesthetic challenge for the city. The UO’s west and south borders are zoned for high-density residential development, meaning that 18th Avenue and Hilyard Street could soon be completely lined with six-story metal and glass behemoths. Coupled with questionable architectural choices that will surely look outdated. Our university might soon lose some of its character. Eugene will also lose some of its appeal – part of that appeal

lies in open skies and lush trees. Some of the best hangouts in town, like Max’s and Rennie’s, are charming precisely because of their relatively modest locations. Towering grey buildings might be attractive short-term investments – I’m looking at you, developers – but they’ll quickly become boring properties with boring prospects. Future costs over transportation and pedestrian access loom, too. Most new large developments include underground parking, a convenient bonus for residents. But without commensurate upgrades to the UO’s parking accommodations, students who would have otherwise walked to campus will soon fill up already overcrowded lots and streets during the school year. Meanwhile, those who do walk will have to forge across Franklin Boulevard. and 18th Avenue without dedicated pedestrian thoroughfares. Fortunately, there’s an opportunity for change: the City of Eugene allows its citizens to petition for special zoning districts. Currently, the neighborhoods directly to the west and south of campus are simply zoned as high and limited high-density. Zoning that regulated height limits, high rent and anonymous design could give Eugene a chance to build a unique identity out of its influx of well-off students. UO students should also demand that more attention be paid to the infrastructure that should accompany new high-density residential development. New parking structures, development of better-protected crosswalks and revamped pedestrian access along Franklin Boulevard would go a long way towards making the surrounding neighborhoods safer and more efficient. Ultimately, the choice to live in an old house or a shiny apartment is a matter of taste. But remember: Living a real life, problems with the leaking faucet and all, is a part of the authentic young adult experience. Learn about plumbing, grill with your neighbors and do some gardening – it’s better for you and the community than paying $800 a month to live in a hotel.

Former University of Oregon star distance runners Andrew Wheating and Daniel Winn were the talk of Team USA Track and Field last week. Wheating, who now runs for Nike OTC Elite, won gold in the men’s 1,500-meter at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. He finished in 3:41.41 seconds. Wheating’s gold medal is his first as both a professional and a member of the USA national team. He was crowned NCAA champion when he posted a time of 3:47.94 seconds in the 1,500-meter for the Ducks in 2010. This was the first time Wheating earned a medal on an international stage. Wheating finished 8th in his 1,500-meter heat at the 2011 World Track and Field Championships in Daegu. He placed 12th at the 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene and failed to qualify for the IAAF World Championships in Moscow, Russia. As a member of Team USA, Wheating advanced to the quarterfinal of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the semifinal of the 2012 London Olympics. Wheating hadn’t raced since he qualified for the team with a 5th place finish at the June national championships in Eugene. Winn has been officially selected to compete for Team USA at the North American, Central American and Caribbean Championships that will take
P H O T O G R A P H C O U R T E S Y O F C R E AT I V E C O M M O N S
place on Aug. 7-9. Winn will be competing in the men’s 1,500-meter race at the NACAC Championships, which will be held in San Jose, Costa Rica. According to Winn, a previous member of Team USA was scratched from the tournament and he was called in as a replacement. This is Winn’s first time being selected to the USA national team. The NACAC Championships will not have any preliminary races, so all the runners go straight to the finals. Winn said he does not know much about his competition so he is just going to give it his best shot. “It’d be nice to come home with something,” Winn said. “But I don’t know how competitive it’s going to be.” Winn graduated last spring, but has continued to train with fellow former Duck distance runner, Colby Alexander. The two are looking to find sponsors as they continue to race professionally. As a member of the Ducks, Winn competed in the distance races and focused on the 1,500-meter. He took 6th place in the men’s mile (4:04.44) at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships. He recently raced at the Portland Track Festival and set a new personal record of 3:38.95 in the 1,500-meter. This is the second edition of the NACAC Championships, which were last held in 2007.
