NEW STUDENT EMU JOBS ➥ GRACE

The Erb Memorial Union building on campus. (Cole Elsasser)
With new vendors opening up in the Erb Memorial Union this fall, students now have more on-campus job opportunities. University of Oregon students looking for on-campus employment positions have a growing number of options to chose from, thanks to new food vendors opening in the EMU. While the EMU’s Fishbowl was once home to the Buzz Cafe, Union Market and the Fishbowl Cafe, its remodel, which began in December of 2013, caused the permanent shutdown of these food vendors in April of this year. Now, with the remodel nearing its end, the EMU has undergone extensive redesign and construction. The Fishbowl will be rejuvenated with improved lighting, a redesigned terrace and new furniture. Soon, new and familiar food vendors in the Fishbowl will begin opening their doors and looking to hire students. The new Starbucks, which opened Sept. 21, has already hired new employees and is currently staffed largely by students according to Jared Dean, a barista at the new location. Dean also remarked that the coffee vendor has quickly amassed customers since its opening last week. “It’s started to pick up ever since the students started rolling in,� Dean said. According to Laurie Woodward, director of the EMU, Panda Express is 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.

expected to open sometime in the next week. Freshman Aurora Leiferman said she will be transferred from the Seneca Road Panda Express where she is an on-call employee. Leiferman will begin working at the on-campus vendor this month. “I’m looking forward to working on campus,� Leiferman said. “It’ll be much easier to work around my school schedule and stay involved in clubs.� Woodward said that both Joe’s Burgers and Subway are also expected to open this month. “We are encouraging all of our vendors to post available positions through DuckConnect,� Woodward said in an email. Joe’s Burgers also reached out to prospective employees at the Flock Party on Sept 26 while serving incoming freshmen, Woodward said. She also explained that she and other EMU staff plan to track the number of students who are employed by each vendor annually. Chipotle will be the last to open at the end of January and is expected to begin hiring employees at the end of the fall term, Woodward said. In addition to the vendors opening in the Fishbowl, Falling Sky Brewery and Townshend’s Tea will open their doors on the lower level of the EMU along with the return of the Grab ‘n’ Go market and a sports product shop run by students from the Lundquist College of Business.

MINOR’S MINOR’S NIGHT NIGHT OUT OUT Okay, so maybe certain college publications are guilty of devoting their “nightlife� issues to a guide to the campus bars. If you’re not of drinking age, these manuals can be as useless as they are mocking. Fret not, children – though you may feel pressured by your onerous age, there is a glimmer of hope for you in this otherwise adult-populated world. Below you’ll find some of the best destinations to spend your weekend, regardless of age.
Skate World ➥ SHELBY
CHAPMAN, @SHELBYEM15
As a college student in your late teens or early 20s, you probably never had the opportunity to experience the disco era like your parents did. That can change with a night out at the local roller rink. Skate World (located in Springfield at 3188 Gateway Loop) is open to all ages at various hours throughout the week. The venue is anchored by a large roller rink, skate rentals and a DJ, appropriately accompanied by a disco ball. Grab your tube socks, tank tops and high-waisted shorts and get ready to experience a blast from the past. The place has maintained the essence of a 1980s roller disco to the fullest extent. Grab some friends and take the EmX into Springfield (free with your UO student ID.) Of course, dress up and take plenty of pictures for the perfect Throwback Thursday Instagram photo. Be sure to check out special celebratory occasions, such as the upcoming nocturnal event “Halloween All-Night Skate� on Oct. 30 from 8:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Prices vary depending on the day of the week, but you can expect to pay less than $6 for a night of retro fun.

Whether you’re looking to finally conquer the perfect 300 game or simply avoid rolling 20 consecutive gutter balls, Emerald Lanes (140 Oakway Rd.) is the perfect place to bowl. It’s also one of the only places left to bowl in Eugene since Southtowne Lanes on Willamette Street burned down in August. Since 1959, Emerald Lanes has been home to competitive and friendly bowling competition. It serves as a great alley to find a league in which to compete or just as a place to eat greasy fries and roll some strikes. Don’t let the age of the business fool you. The interior boasts modern lanes and a full service pro shop, along with a restaurant designed to serve families. A two-game outing will equate to roughly $10 without food. It is a short bus ride from campus, just off Coburg Road.

The Jazz Station ➡ ALEX
R U B Y, @ A R U B Y R U B R U B
The Jazz Station (124 W. Broadway) is the hippest place to be any given Friday or Saturday night. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, this downtown Eugene institution is a one-of-a-kind musical performance space. Anyone is welcome to this factory of funk, from 5-year-olds experiencing live jazz for the first time to veterans of the craft scouting out new cats on the circuit. Although there is an admission fee, club members and students are offered a discount. The Jazz Station is operated by the Willamette Jazz Society, whose mission is to facilitate the growth of jazz music by incorporating more young musicians into its performances. The non-profit organization uses the Jazz Station as a place for fledgling jazz artists to get a foot in the door and hone their craft as musicians. Every Sunday, it hosts an all-ages jazz jam session in an effort to inspire young artists to pick up their instruments and play in front of a live audience. On Friday, Oct. 2, the Jazz Station will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with its “First Friday Art Walk,” featuring the work of Antonio Ochoa, Jessica Zapata, Claudia Sanchez, Marisela Figueroa, Xolotl Polo and Juan Antonio Siller, with live music performed by the Rempel Orsinger Duo. Upcoming shows: Tony Glausi (Oct. 3, 7:30 p.m., $7-$10), Pearl Django (Oct. 9, 7:30 p.m., $12-$15)

RUSSIAN GUITARIST OLEG TIMOFEYEV BRINGING SEVEN STRINGS TO EUGENE ➥ ANNA
LIEBERMAN
Oleg Timofeyev, a Russian guitarist and musicologist, has been studying Russian guitar for more than 20 years and will soon showcase his work at the University of Oregon. After moving to the United States in 1998, the Moscow-born Timofeyev developed a growing desire to learn more about his cultural roots. After extensively practicing the Russian guitar – a seven-string variation of the acoustic instrument we’re familiar with – Timofeyev will provide a recital and lecture at 7 p.m. on Oct. 8 at the Mills International Center in the Erb Memorial Union. “The listeners will be transported into the early 19th century,� Timofeyev, 52, said, “like a private concert of some Russian aristocrat.� Aside from performing at the UO, Timofeyev has lectured at Princeton University, Duke University, the Smithsonian and other institutions in the United States and Europe. Timofeyev holds a Ph.D. in performing practice from Duke. In the early 2000s, he discovered music written by Matvei PavlovAzancheev, a composer who spent a decade in labor camps. Timofeyev recorded an entire record of his pieces – 2004’s Guitar in the GULag. Timofeyev’s other albums include The Wandering Lutenist (1997) and The Golden Age of the Russian Guitar (1999.) His Oct. 8 visit will feature music from these albums, as well as music by other 18th and 19th century Russian composers such as Ignaz von Held and Andrei Sychra. He has accumulated old guitars and music for more than two decades, which has aided him in restoring old Russian musical traditions that are not widely known in modern music culture. “It’s an adventure,� Timofeyev said. “It’s sort of trying new things, discovering new music and having a new look at the music that you already know.�
Calling Russian guitar music “sophisticated� and “delightful,� Timofeyev aims to share the same reverence he holds for the genre with his audience. For Julia Nemirovskaya, an assistant professor in the Russian, East European and Eurasian studies department, music forms a connection between people and their heritage. Nemirovskaya said that she was excited to learn about a different culture when she moved to the United States. After a few years, she grew homesick, and suspects that Timofeyev’s experience may be similar. “All of a sudden, you realize that you’re still who you are,� Nemirovskaya said. “We all are from a very rich culture, so we go back to it eventually.� Nemirovskaya speculates that this is one reason why Timofeyev invariably connects his music to his Russian roots. The Russian guitar makes an inimitable sound that’s distinct from a standard acoustic and characteristically all its own. Fahma Mohammed, a student working at the Mills International Center, could tell Timofeyev wasn’t playing an American instrument when she first heard him. “It’s from a different part of the world, so it opens your mind and it allows you to understand that there are different aspects to a guitar and different versions of it,� Mohammed said. “It reminded me of music from the Renaissance time. It’s very soothing, very calming.� Although Mohammed expects mostly international students, aspiring musicians and professors to be in attendance, anyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. The event is sponsored by the UO Russian, East European and Eurasian studies program, Oregon Humanities Center, UO Libraries and Mills International Center. (Jarred Graham)

⚡ SPORTS Autzen Stadium, home to Oregon football. (Emerald Archives)
HOW THE HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE AFFECTS OREGON SPORTS ➡ KENNY
J A C O B Y, @ K E N N Y J A C O B Y
Oregon is not only a feared opponent in athletics; it’s venues are also some of the most formidable to play in. Here’s a look at what home field advantage means for Ducks sports teams:
Autzen Stadium Since 2002, the Oregon football team’s average margin of victory has been just over 15 points per game. Oregon’s victory margin at home doubles its victory margin on the road. Head coach Mark Helfrich attributes the disparity to the atmosphere of Autzen Stadium, which Stack.com ranked the fourth loudest stadium in college football, based on noise levels measured in decibels. “Our fans have been awesome,” Helfrich said. “Traditionally, teams will perform better at home, but our home atmosphere is unbelievable.”
Papé Field Before the new Papé Field opened in 2012, the Oregon women’s soccer team played at the old Papé Field, where the Football Performance Center is now. In the seven seasons prior to the move, the Ducks fared worse at home than away. They scored more goals per game and allowed fewer goals per game on the road. The Ducks have drastically improved since they PK Park started playing on the new Papé Field turf, as opposed The Oregon baseball program was reinstated in 2009 to the old Papé Field grass. At home, they now average after a 26 year absence due to budget issues. Following its a victory margin of .24 goals, whereas before they reinstatement came the new PK Park, which has shown averaged a loss by .22 goals. The defense has fared to be one of the more pitcher-friendly parks in college better, allowing nearly 40 percent fewer goals on the baseball. The friendliness of a given ballpark to pitchers new field. On the road, however, they now score nearly and hitters can be measured simply by dividing the average 65 percent fewer goals, possibly because they are no runs scored by both teams in that ballpark by the average longer accustomed to playing on grass. runs scored by both teams in that team’s road games. Since 2009, the Ducks have played 218 games at PK Park and 218 on the road. In those home games, the Ducks and their opponents have scored a combined average of 8.33 runs per game. On the road, however, they’ve averaged a combined 9.47 runs per game. The resulting park factor, .879, tells that teams average about 88 percent as many runs at PK Park as they do at other ballparks, ergo, PK Park is quite pitcher-friendly. By comparison, only three out of 30 MLB ballparks have lower park factors in 2015, and they’re all on the west coast: Safeco Field (Mariners), Angel Stadium of Anaheim (Angels) and AT&T Park (Giants).
Matthew Knight Arena Since the college basketball arena opened in January 2011, the Oregon men’s and women’s basketball teams have had mixed results. On average, the men score and allow slightly fewer points per game at Matthew Knight Arena than they did at McArthur Court. On the other hand, the women score and allow significantly more at Matthew Knight Arena. In general, the men’s team appears to have improved while the women’s team appears to have regressed since the stadium transition. On average, the men fared worse in road games during the McArthur Court era than they have in the Matt Knight Arena era. The women used to average wins (average score of both teams resulted in Oregon victory) at home, but now they average losses both at home and on the road. A reasonable explanation for this phenomenon is the men’s team has benefited more from recruiting than the women’s team since the opening of the new facility. In fact, the recruiting budget for men’s basketball increased by 141 percent from fiscal year 2010 to 2012, while the recruiting budget for women’s basketball decreased by 11 percent.
