verything you need to know

VERYTHING UO

The University of Oregon Police Department recently implemented a new Vulnerable Persons Registry, a voluntary document allowing people to share information with the police about individuals with intellectual disabilities in case of a police encounter.

“What the registry kind of simply does for us as a community is, it gives my officers in the field the opportunity to know where they’re going in advance,” UOPD Chief Matthew Carmichael said.

The VPR asks for basic information like name, height and other distinguishers. The registry also asks whether the vulnerable individual communicates verbally or nonverbally, as well as their favorite places to visit, favorite toys and discussion topics.

“It’s all voluntary,” Dennis Debbaudt said, “and it’s what you choose to disclose.” Debbaudt is a presenter and law enforcement trainer, having researched, reported on and provided direct training for police since the 1990s, he said.

Carmichael said, “You just can’t come in and, out of the blue, register somebody that’s either not with you, or you can’t prove you have guardianship over.”

The VPR asks for current photos of the individual, which are then uploaded to the Computer Aided Dispatch, given to the officer.

The registry is not just for people on the autism spectrum — the website states that community members with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s and acquired brain injury are all eligible to be registered.

Carmichael said that even if an individual experiences these conditions, it isn’t mandatory to register them. “Just because someone may have anything listed in the examples, it doesn’t mean they need to register. This is for cases where a caregiver or a family member or the person themselves feels it may be really helpful for

police to know this in advance.”

The registry asks for information on what an officer should not do, as well. “If I walk up to you as a police officer, and I get within 3 feet of you, that may automatically make you feel insecure or uncomfortable.

And now, you may act out, not to hurt me, but to get away from me, and you may push me away.”

“There’s still going to be guesswork,” Debbaudt said, “but the more we can provide answers in advance and take some of the guesswork out, the contact, by its very nature, will be more informed and inherently safer.”

Carmichael said that the topic of police engagement with vulnerable persons began last year, in a meeting with then-ASUO president Maria Gallegos-Chacón. “She had some questions about our training, and she made a recommendation that UOPD should enhance training and understanding of serving members of the community with intellectual disabilities,” Carmichael said.

Carmichael said he began looking into training for his officers and reached out to the Lane County chapter of the Arc, a national organization that “promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supports their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes,” according to its website.

Around the same time, Carmichael said, Debbaudt had a speaking engagement with the Arc of Lane County.

Debbaudt said that when he and Carmichael first spoke, they discussed the possibility of UOPD training. Carmichael said he came from Florida to Eugene to train a team on his area of expertise, including Carmichael and other UOPD officers. “We’re building knowledge about behaviors and what you see, indicators that

could suggest a community member may have autism, or may be on the spectrum,” Carmichael said, “and how we can best serve their needs.”

Debbaudt first published a report in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin in 2001.

“Because autism affects every sector of society, officers first must understand the condition,” Debbaudt said in 2001. “Second, they must learn to apply certain techniques in the initial contact or interview, which may increase the probability of appropriate responses and lead to a successful outcome of the encounter.”

Carmichael said that, while working with Debbaudt, he reviewed cases where officers “mistook an individual for being under the influence of drugs, not knowing they had a disability, and it ended up being a use of force.” Carmichael said he wanted to be proactive in that area, to do something about the chance of that occurring.

Over the next nine months, Carmichael said, UOPD and Debbaudt worked together to help create their own Vulnerable Persons Database. Similar models can be found in Canada, with Toronto Police launching their own VPR in December 2019. “They’re very common in Canada,” Debbaudt said, “but they’re getting very common in the United States.”

“We partnered with our friends over at Junction City Police Department,” Carmichael said, with JCPD providing UOPD’s Computer-Aided Dispatch since March 2019, according to the Emerald.

“We’re not only going to train UOPD and JCPD, we’re going to offer training statewide, to whoever is interested,” Carmichael said.

“The University of Oregon — I’m pretty confident, unless someone proves me wrong — on the planet Earth, we are home to the only Vulnerable Persons Database for higher education,” Carmichael said.

‘UNWITTING SELF-PORTRAIT BY NATURE’:

FROZEN WAVE AT THE JSMA

BY C. FRANCIS O’LEARY The University of Oregon’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art unveiled its latest temporary exhibit on Friday. The museum is displaying Frozen Wave by Marc Quinn as part of the Masterworks on Loan program.

Frozen Wave is one of a series of sculptures by Quinn meant to represent an “unwitting self-portrait by nature,” the artist’s website says. This is because, though the piece resembles a wave crashing on a beach, it was modeled on the fragment of a shell eroded by time.

Mica Pointer, a master’s student in theater arts, visited the installment on Friday. Pointer said the Frozen Wave is reminiscent of Cloud Gate, more commonly known as “The Bean” in Chicago. The piece also made Pointer think of a recent workshop he attended about the interactivity of art and performance. “It’s really resonating with me,” Pointer said, “the reflectiveness and seeing myself back.”

To create Frozen Wave, Quinn found a unique shell fragment on a beach,

according to his website. He subsequently 3D-scanned the fragment, enlarged a print of it, added detail and casted it in steel.

The result was the nearly 2,500-cubic-foot sculpture the JSMA now has on display.

Frozen Wave is on loan from an anonymous donor as part of the JSMA’s Masterworks on Loan program, JSMA Collections Manager Chris White said in an interview. Masterworks on Loan is a program that allows private collectors to display works of art in the JSMA, the museum’s website says. The JSMA currently has 23 masterworks on display through the program. The pieces range from an Andy Warhol sculpture to a Keith Haring drawing.

The JSMA isn’t the only place on UO’s campus to view art. The campus is home to nearly 100 pieces of public art that can be viewed without entering a building, the UO Libraries website says.

Frozen Wave is being displayed in the JSMA’s North Courtyard. The courtyard is open during museum hours, and Frozen Wave will be on display until May 3, 2020.

‘SONS OF THE PROPHET’: A COMEDY ABOUT HUMAN SUFFERING

This is a caption. Please put words here. (photographer)

BY SARAH-MAE MCCULLOUGH “What are the odds?” This is the question that reverberates through “Sons of the Prophet,” the comedy-drama written by Stephen Karam and performed by University Theatre on Jan. 24, 25, and 31 and Feb. 1, 2, and 7. The question bounces back and forth between characters as the calamities pile up, from mysterious ailments to hapless love affairs.

The story follows a year in the life of Joseph Douaihy (Alex Mentzel) and his younger brother Charles (Jack Ford), as they work through the aftermath of their father’s sudden death. Under the direction of Michael Najjar, the talented nine-person cast lives out Karam’s message that suffering is not evenly distributed: No one remains unscathed, but some of us are hit much harder than others.

The play opens with a violent collision. Headlights illuminate a plastic deer in front of the stage, music blares from a car radio, then is interrupted by a screech and a crash. The driver was Joseph’s father, and the deer decoy was placed in the road

by Vin (Kwadwo Assensoh), a star high school football player, as a juvenile prank prompted by his teammates; however, a week later, Douaihy dies from a heart attack.

Joseph’s uncle Bill, a staunch Maronite and a racist who attacks Vin with slurs, fulminates against the

judge’s choice to suspend his sentence until the end of football season. Joseph and Charles, who are both gay and more progressive than their uncle, have a much more empathetic view of the high schooler.

They point out that he grew up between foster homes and football is the gateway to his future. As the story unfolds, the Douaihys develop a relationship with Vin, even speaking on his behalf at a school board meeting, all while balancing the ever-increasing complications of their own lives.

Despite the dark subject matter, “Sons of the Prophet” is truly a comedy. Banter between the brothers and their irascible Uncle sparked regular bursts of laughter from the audience. Joseph’s boss Gloria (Taelor Warner), is comically self-absorbed and her addled mind is constantly misremembering details. After she “fell from grace” as a book publisher when her biography of a couple surviving the Holocaust was found to be completely fictional (“I wasn’t at the Holocaust,” is her defense), she attempts to reclimb the ladder by roping Joseph into a book deal.

Each of Karam’s unique characters gives us a different lense through which to view suffering.

Timothy (Jude Stone), the reporter who becomes involved with Joseph while covering his family’s

story, is fascinated with capturing pain. Explaining his book-in-progress, he says, “There’s so many compelling stories out there that aren’t being told, and the fact that people don’t know about them, it compounds their suffering. … I do think bearing witness to people’s pain gives light, validity.” Joseph, in the midst of his own tragic story, disagrees. “Maybe it gives you validity,” he responds. And then there’s the question of whether we ought to wear sorrow on our sleeves, as Gloria does, or tucked away, as Uncle Bill recommends.

Karam’s writing pulls back the curtain on a series of raw moments, like when, in the midst of physical intimacy, Joseph struggles to remove his jeans without exposing his knee braces to Timothy, or when the aging Uncle Bill becomes exasperated over his loss of independence and reliance on a walker.

It often feels that the audience is glimpsing into real moments unfolding over a lifetime, from amusingly awkward flirting to unfiltered family fights. Despite its focus on the many facets of human suffering, “Sons of the Prophet” also showed the realities of human love and resilience, filling the auditorium with laughter.

University Theatre’s next production is “A Doll’s House,” an early feminist play that shocked its original audiences. It will open on Feb. 28.

‘IDEAS ON TAP’

COMBINES DRINKING AND THINKING

BY SAMUEL ANTHONY

For ages, college students have been shotgunning beers, getting way too drunk and talking about life in crowded dorm rooms. Now, the Museum of Natural and Cultural History is trying to turn this age-old tradition into an organized event.

In 2015, the museum kicked off “Ideas on Tap,” a monthly event in which students, professors and the general public can get together and have a craft beer while talking about society’s pressing issues.

“We started it in January of 2015 as a way to increase awareness about the museum and to broaden the communities that we serve,” said Lauren Willis, the program manager. Ideas on Tap provides community members with fun, informative presentations focused on topics related to natural and cultural history.”

The location of the events has since changed, but the mission has remained the same ‒ to quench the thirst of participants with both knowledge and beer.

The event is hosted on the first Wednesday of every month at the Viking Braggot Company Southtowne Pub, located off West 25th Avenue and Willamette Street. The pub, which was founded by Perry Ames PA G E 8

and Dan McTavish, offers a wide range of seasonal brews.

Much like the brews offered at the pub, the Ideas on Tap topics and discussions vary widely each month. From “Race, Democracy, and the Boundaries of Belonging in North America” to “The Truth About Dishonesty: The Role of Deception in Our Daily Lives,” the event is sure to provide real food ‒ or drinks ‒ for thought.

Even though it’s held in a pub, the Ideas on Tap discussions aren’t meant to turn into an argument ‒ or a brawl. “Ideas on Tap is designed to be a casual, fun, audience-driven conversation,” Willis said. “Our speakers give a brief (about 30 minutes) presentation to introduce the topic and provide context. The audience’s comments and questions drive the remainder of the discussion.”

As for upcoming events, the Museum of Natural and Cultural History has three speakers already booked for the next Ideas on Tap. On March 4, UO human physiology professor Andy Karduna discusses proprioception, or how we know where our body is in space.

The following month, David Markowitz, an assistant professor at the UO School of Journalism and Communications who has an extensive background in deception research, gives a talk about how lies and deceit play a part in our everyday lives, and why detecting deception is so difficult.

“I’m excited about this event because it provides an opportunity for published research to be communicated to those who might not have access to journal publications,” Markowitz said.

On May 6, Courtney Cox, an assistant professor of race and sport at the University of Oregon, will be talking about how sports are using quantitative data to predict and enhance athletic performance.

“You know, I have this saying that delivering a thoughtful, entertaining course lecture has all of the pressure of standup comedy without the two-drink minimum,” Cox said. “So I’m grateful that I finally get the chance to test out my ‘material’ in a boozy environment for the first time. Like the classroom, I hope it will be a place for us to share ideas, our personal relationship to sports and maybe even a little trash talk.”

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND HOUSING ACTIVISTS

AT ODDS

OVER SOLUTIONS TO EUGENE HOUSING CRISIS

BY SYDNEY DAUPHINAIS• TWITTER @SYDDAUPHINAIS

Stephen Sheehan is the owner of Elk Horn Brewery and the lead coordinator of Eugene Wake Up. (Kimberly Harris/Emerald)

Before opening Elk Horn Brewery — a Southerninspired gastropub near the University of Oregon campus — owner Stephen Sheehan said he was a fugitive; he made his way to Eugene under an assumed name while running from authorities.

Sheehan had served time at the Mississippi State Penitentiary for forgery and embezzlement in 2005, related to crimes he committed while working at J.P. Morgan. Once released, Sheehan said he went on a crack bender and nearly returned to prison after a run-in with Mississippi state police. He changed his name and fled the state, eventually meeting his wife, and now co-owner of Elk Horn, Colleen Sheehan, and finally landed in Eugene.

In 2014, the Sheehans opened Elk Horn Brewery, a three-story wooden restaurant on Hilyard and Broadway, decorated with mounted animal horns, wooden furniture and lofty windows.

In mid-October 2019, a woman was caught on PA G E 1 0

camera throwing Molotov cocktails at the building and shattering the windows with broomsticks and stones.

Sheehan hosted a community meeting at Elk Horn a week after the vandalism to share his frustrations and strategies about the rising homeless population in Eugene.

Sheehan stood at the front of the room filled with primarily business owners; behind him were stacks of black t-shirts with “EUGENE WAKE UP” printed in blocky white letters.

Eugene Wake Up describes itself as “pro small business Non Partisan group committed to making our community safer,” according to its website. The cover photo on Facebook, displayed across the top of the page in a moody grayscale, is the mugshot of Courtney Lee Albin, the perpetrator of the vandalism.

Plastered next to her image is a photo of the shattered window and burned kitchen at Elk Horn.

“We’re binding together and raising awareness and speaking for the small business community that, quite frankly, isn’t represented on city council,” said Nick Wiley, owner of Eagle Eye Media and secretary of Eugene Wake Up. Although members of Eugene Wake Up see their actions as accountability and as an act of compassion for the homeless, some community members voice their opposition and consider them a hate group. On Saturday night, a group of protestors entered the Elk Horn Brewery and hung a banner from the top railing that read “House keys not handcuffs.”

Sheehan said a total of 18 protesters came into Elk Horn, shouting and standing on tables. He said the restaurant was disrupted for only 10 minutes before resuming service.

What started as little more than a Facebook group has grown to 3,000 members that complain about Eugene’s homeless population; everything from

camping around town to littering. Although Eugene Wake Up was started by small business owners, even former KEZI anchor Rick Dancer comments on posts in the group.

The group gained so much attention that Sheehan said the meetings started to lack a clear voice for the business owners, so they implemented a vetting process that includes an online application. There are exclusive meetings for local business owners only and separate meetings that are open to the community.

“We started too big and now we’re going back to really small instead of having too many people and too many ideas,” Sheehan said.

Last Thursday, the exclusive group of business owners elected its first board members. For Marra Watson, the owner of Crux Rock Climbing Gym, it was her first meeting. She was voted a board member and said the people of Eugene are enabling illegal behavior done by the homeless community.

“We need to wake up and stop confusing enabling for compassion,” Watson said. “We’re not helping anybody by allowing them to camp on the

downtown sidewalks. In doing that, we’re telling them they’re not any better than an animal.”

Watson said that police should be the ones to prevent homeless people from living in camps.

Although not present at Saturday night’s demonstration, Eric Jackson, a member and activist in the homeless community, has attended a few Eugene Wake Up meetings and been a voice of opposition. The group, he said, is misguided.

“It’s a group that is churning anger and people want to be involved with something that’s happening,” Jackson said. “People who have anger see this group and want to be involved with other people who have anger. They think, ‘I can join them with my anger,’ but that anger isn’t anger. It’s hatred.”

Eugene Wake up is planning to implement onthe-ground footwork to protect the community from potential violence. Sheehan recently hired a security company to patrol the block that Elk Horn Brewery is on, which includes Manola’s Thai restaurant and the Alpha Phi sorority house.

Sheehan said all of the neighbors meet once a week and contribute to the cost of the Premier Security

guard.

Kathy Segale, the house mom at Alpha Phi, was nervous about the home security after several break-ins late last year. The new security guard, though, wasn’t enough.

“I like the presence but I’m disappointed in it,” Segale said. “It’s $500 a month. We just spent nearly $10,000 for a fence and our house is like Fort Knox now, so I’m thinking I’m not going to need anybody.”

Group members who want increased police response see what Eugene Wake Up describes as accountability as an act of tough love, so that maybe the unhoused population will learn to help themselves. Many homeless shelters and advocacy groups, though, think that people deserve housing regardless of whether or not they are addicts.

“We believe an individual must first get into a place of housing before they’re able to focus on things such as addiction or mental health,” said Catrina Mathewson, the development director at Sheltercare, a nonprofit that provides several housing programs. “It’s like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and safe housing is at the bottom.”

Elk Horn Brewery is located on East Broadway Street in Eugene, Ore. (Kimberly Harris/Emerald)

AlumnI TAKE FLIGHT

UO Alumni share career lessons they’ve learned

Grant Gurewitz,

Job Title: Integrated Marketing Manager, Qualtrics Major: Journalism, Public Relations Graduated: Bachelor of Science, 2013 After graduating from the University of Oregon in 2013, Grant Gurewitz made the decision to explore his interests in communication and technology in one of the most hightech cities in the world — Seattle. There, he applied himself and found great success, working for corporations like Zillow and the Port of Seattle in lead marketing roles. He is currently the Integrated Marketing Manager at Qualtrics, an experience management company based out of Seattle. Grant also serves on the board of directors for the UO Alumni Association.

How did you actively develop technological and communication skills at UO? While in college, getting experience is one of the most important things you can do. I had the opportunity through my classes at UO to work in real-world situations. I worked with local businesses, completed internships and spent some time at the Emerald, which helped me get a lot of various perspectives in different work environments. I gained so much useful insight relating to technology and communication through these experiences. I always say doing a variety of internships in different areas is helpful for discovering what you want to do, and exactly what you don’t want to do.

Do you have any advice you’d like to share with current students and recent graduates?

Do not be afraid to ask questions. Make conversations around what you want to see happen. The worst possible outcome is that someone says no to you. But the best outcome is that you have an amazing discussion with someone about the things you want to examine. Do not be afraid to respond to people, and consider brainstorming your thoughts on a piece of paper rather than finding comfort on your phone. Ultimately, just give yourself some time to disconnect and find some space for yourself.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in social media, emails or even something your professor said. Just giving yourself some time to figure out how to process it all, and the best way to move forward, is super important.

OPINION

HOW TO PRACTICE ALLYSHIP IN 2020

BY AMALIA BIRCH

It is important to normalize sharing pronouns in all spaces because it’s creating a standard of carving out space for other people who have to navigate that all the time.”

HALEY WILSON UO LBGTQ+ Ecucation and Support Services Coordinator

Eugene Pride Festival. (Marissa Willke/Emerald)

Since Trump’s election in 2016, polarization and tension have been on the rise. With the increase in hate crimes in the United States, it is a great time to refresh our idea of what it means to be an ally and make sure we are doing our best to support minorities such as the LGBTQI community in 2020.

First and foremost, it is important to know what it means to be an ally to the LGBTQI community and why it matters. Being an ally means supporting those in marginalized groups you are not a part of.

Haley Wilson, the coordinator of the University of Oregon’s LGBTQI Education and Support Services, explained that it is more than this.

“The concept of being an ally is more of a verb than it is an identity. If we view it as more of a verb, then we can see that when you have privilege in any identity, you have the choice to act or not in certain situations.”

Wilson also emphasized that learning how to be supportive to folks in and outside of your community is entirely advantageous and supportive to survival and progress.

UO offers many useful services concerning allyship and learning how

PA G E 1 4

to support others. One such service is the Queer Ally Coalition.

Camryn Schulz, a UO student and the Queer Ally Coalition coordinator, explains the coalition as a training for the community to be better allies for the LGBTQI community. Facilitators present on what pronouns mean and the different identities that people have in the community.

“The training allows you to learn more about intrapersonal support tools and how to take some of these tools into your respective departments or areas that you work in,” Wilson said.

Another program at UO is the Bridges Speaker Bureau, which is a panel program where members of LGBTQI groups can be a part of learning how to tell each other’s stories to organizations and classes.

There was also the Women’s Center’s “What’s Up With Whiteness” event that was hosted in January on how best to support and be allies to womxn of color.

Wilson said that the Women’s Center event was particularly important for folks in the LGBTQI community. “The movement as a whole is much more hospitable and

supportive to white-identified folks.

It is really important for LGBTQI people, especially if you are white, to be able to engage in that privilege so you can better show up and make a community that is safe for the people who created it, which are trans and gender non-conforming people of color.”

Along with all of these resources available at UO, there are a few things to keep in mind if you are someone who is trying to become a better ally.

It is important to learn how to take feedback from those in the community who you are learning to support. “It can be difficult to hear feedback, but it can also be really difficult to give feedback,” Wilson said. “Whenever we are in a place of privilege and someone who is marginalized is expressing that we harmed them in some way, it’s really important to be able to hold emotional space for those feelings and not sink into wanting to explain intent.”

Schulz said another helpful part of listening to others is believing them. Listening to others talk about their experiences, believing them and taking in their feedback are all important skills to practice allyship.

Beyond that, knowing how to navigate pronouns and creating a space for them to be shared is crucial.

“It is important to normalize sharing pronouns in all spaces because it’s creating a standard of carving out space for other people who have to navigate that all the time,” Wilson said.

The best way to create this space is to share your own pronouns in circumstances where you are introducing yourself. “The caveat to that is not to expect people to share their pronouns,” said Wilson, as there may be a reason they are uncomfortable doing so.

If you are not sure of somebody’s pronouns, a good way to find out is to simply ask, “How may I best refer to you?”

“If you don’t know, you can always use their name, especially if you are working out the muscle of using they/ them/their pronouns,” Wilson said.

All of these resources and skills are useful for learning how to be a reliable and effective ally, but it is also critical to be mindful that everyone is different. “It’s complex with every single relationship,” Wilson said. “How we feel best supported and seen is going to look a little different.”

OPINION

THE TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS OF BEING A NONTRADITIONAL STUDENT

BY EMILY HALBERG

Emily Halberg is considered a non-traditional student for transferring to UO from other colleges. (Kimberly Harris/Emerald)

Being a nontraditional student is challenging.

Most students participate in first year experiences like settling into the dorms, exploring UO’s Flock Party and eating late night dinners on campus where they are able to connect with their new community. Although I missed out on such experiences, I overcame these differences by finding strength in my independence.

Walking around campus, I see a lot of students going through the motions, dozing off in class, riddled with anxiety. It makes me wonder who is here on their own accord and who is attending college to please their family. For me, taking time off of school wasn’t nearly as scary as the thought of disappointing my parents. I was terrified that they wouldn’t see my decision the way I did — as a temporary one.

I have little regret moving from Bemidji, Minnesota to Eugene, Oregon in search of a new opportunity. Initially I wanted a break from school and a chance to make something of myself seperate from my education. However, after working two years in a local restaurant, the University of Oregon found me.

Being a nontraditional student can take many different forms. According to the UO website, you may identify as a nontraditional student if you are over the age of 24, married, a transfer student or even taking time off. When I learned that I was among plenty of other nontraditional students on orientation day, I was excited.

Yet, when I first applied to the university after taking two years off, I was flustered with all the meticulous forms and application costs. As a student who was solely responsible for my finances, I felt like quitting before I even got started. Instead, I thought about the future I wanted for myself and approached the challenge one step at a time.

In an attempt to eradicate costly habits, I started with monthly budgeting. After paying for rent, gas, groceries and anything my cat needed, I was able to set aside any extra money for my savings. From there I worked an average of 50-plus hours a week so that I would be comfortable focusing on my studies when the time came. Throughout all of this, I still had anxiety over money, being accepted into the university and taking care of myself.

The reality of doing something different than

what society and your parents think you should do is absolutely terrifying. There is no “Dropping out of School to Find Yourself For Dummies” guide that I know of. I have learned to refrain from things like getting my nails done if I wanted enough money for groceries. Tough calls like this made me grow up pretty quick.

According to Ashland University, being a nontraditional student can be beneficial for a handful of reasons. Individuals can become better at multitasking, gain more confidence, gain better abilities to plan and have more control over their lives. This helps make reaching goals much more attainable.

Navigating uncharted territory is completely unnerving but has the ability to transform us.

Experiencing something brand new is educational in its own way. Taking a break from school or even doing something different than our parents want us to do is monumental in developing our independence. When I felt like I was drowning, I took time to get some perspective and I learned how to swim.

PAYTON PRITCHARD BATTLES

INCONSISTENCIES

IN CIVIL WAR LOSS TO OREGON STATE

BY EMMA SPAETH • TWITTER @SPAETH_EMMA

Ducks guard Payton Pritchard (3) gets ready to go up for a layup attempt. (DL Young/ Emerald)

Payton Pritchard had his 133rd career start as a Duck, breaking Oregon’s record and taking over the top spot from E.J. Singler in the 353rd Civil War game on Saturday but failed to perform to his usual standard.

Pritchard led the Ducks with 16 total points and nine assists, but despite being known for his shooting from beyond the arc, he shot 1-8 from the 3-point line and a mere 7-21 from inside the arc.

“Our reaction shooting was really bad and offensively, that’s on me,” Oregon head coach Dana Altman said. “We were not getting very good shots, not executing anything on timeouts. We had two turnovers on two timeouts and so our execution needs to get a lot better and our transitions — we just ran out of gas.”

Despite struggling with his shooting, Pritchard came through with some key points in the second half. The Ducks went on an eight-minute scoring drought, complete with four turnovers, while Oregon State went on an eight-point scoring run, taking the lead with nine minutes left in the game.

Pritchard broke the drought with a drive and a layup, tying it up at 44-44. On the next possession, Pritchard got the ball to Will Richardson for a fast

break in the paint putting the Ducks up 46-44. The Beavers took the lead with two quick points with 2:52 left on the clock and the Ducks never came back.

“We want our shots to land but obviously, when they aren’t falling, we rely on the defense,” Pritchard said on the Ducks’ offensive struggles.

While the Ducks entered the second half ahead 32-28, they dropped to 21 points in the second half, handing the Civil War victory to the Beavers with a final score of 63-53.

“That’s kind of been our MO on the road games,” Altman said. “We were just not getting quality shots, not executing — a lot of dribbling and not much ball movement.”

Oregon State set out to shut down Pritchard and succeeded. Despite a few pivotal points late in the second half, the West Linn, Oregon, native never warmed up.

“We’ve changed our ball screen coverage. … We’ve challenged our perimeter players to guard those screen and rolls situations like they are not going to have any help, just toughen up,” Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle said on preparing for Pritchard.

“The way Ethan [Thompson] guarded tonight was

unbelievable. All of those screens they set for Payton [Pritchard], and he just made up his mind that he wasn’t going to give him anything easy. … I’m really proud of what he did defensively. He was a warrior.”

Pritchard struggled getting his shots to land, which was detrimental for the Ducks in such a close game, however, Pritchard did step it up in attempting to make things happen down in the paint. With nine assists, he moved to 11th in Pac-12 career assists with 623.

Earlier this week, Pritchard was the only player from the Pac-12 to be named to the Wooden Award Late Season Top 20 Watch List and is also one of the 10 final candidates for the 2020 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. In spite of his recent success, Pritchard has struggled offensively in the last two games.

On Saturday’s loss to Stanford, Pritchard shot 30 percent from the 3-point line and 23 percent from inside the arc.

“We’ve been here before,” Pritchard said. “Last year, obviously we were way worse, so we’ve just gotta regroup, come back and go on a run. We’ve got five games at home of the next seven so we need to make something happen.”

DUCKS CLAIM 10TH STRAIGHT VICTORY IN PHYSICAL REMATCH AGAINST ARIZONA STATE

BY EMMA SPAETH • TWITTER @SPAETH_EMMA The No. 3 Oregon Ducks stormed onto the court to an electric crowd of 12,364 — the fifth sellout in Oregon women’s basketball history — on Sunday afternoon.

The Ducks were looking for redemption after No. 19 Arizona State handed them their first and only Pac-12 loss of the season on Jan. 10 in Tempe, Arizona. Oregon secured a lopsided victory over the Sun Devils, 79-48, recording their 10th straight win and second top-20 victory of the weekend.

“I think it was definitely a revenge game for us, and we knew that we are the better team, and we knew that we shouldn’t have lost that game, so we had a fire in our belly to come out here and just show them how we can really play and the better team that we are,” Jazz Shelley said.

The defense made the difference in this game

The game got off to a slow start; neither team scored for the first 5:16.

But Arizona State broke the dry spell, putting the first two points on the board — the only two the Sun Devils scored in the first quarter.

Both teams played relentless

defense, with neither team letting their opponent get any easy shots off. Oregon held Arizona State to two points in the first, going on a 10-0 run over five minutes at the end of the period while Arizona State went cold, shooting 0-6 to close the period.

Oregon lost the game in the second half in their last matchup, but on Sunday, they managed to keep Arizona to just 15 points in the third quarter while the Ducks erupted for 30 points.

“I think we were more consistent defensively,” Shelley said. “Last time we played ASU, we played a really consistent three quarters, and we kept them to really low scoring, but I think in the fourth quarter they ended up scoring 30 points, so we just really limited their offense.”

No Arizona State player scored in the double digits, a stark contrast from their last match up when four Sun Devils scored in the double digits.

The Ducks victory relied on crucial points from beyond the arc

Arizona State tried to shut down Ruthy Hebard and Satou Sabally down in the paint, so the outside shooters stepped it up, with the game’s most pivotal points coming from the

3-point line.

“They took away the roll, so we kicked it out, and we found our shooters all night long, and they never adjusted to it,” head coach Kelly Graves said “We were ready for it and had the open shooters when we needed them.”

Freshman Jaz Shelley erupted from the 3-point line with 14 total points shooting 4-4 from beyond the arc and 5-5 from inside it. Erin Boley also contributed 14 points, shooting 4-6 from the 3-point line. Sabrina Ionescu shot 3-5 from the 3-point line and contributed 19 points.

“We knew going into the game, as part of our game plan, that a lot of the attention was going to be focused on Ruthy rolling off of the ball screens.

And so a big part of it is that we have shooters coming in and looking for that shot, confident and ready,” Boley said. “We knew it was coming so we were prepared, and I think that helped all of us get into a good rhythm.”

Oregon’s outside shooting percentage finished at 52%, while Arizona State finished at 30.8%.

Trouble in foul territory

The aggressive nature of this

game translated to a high foul count.

Ionescu and Hebard finished with three fouls, including a technical on Ionescu, and Boley finished with four.

Two players on Arizona State finished with four fouls as well.

“It was really gritty at times,” Boley said. “We had to play really tough and so it’s a good feeling to keep the lead that big when there’s a lot of fouling and it’s a very physical game.”

A technical foul was called on coach Graves in the third quarter.

“I thought I’d earned it at least two quarters before, and then probably the quarter before, and finally got it in the third quarter and I didn’t care,” said Graves. “I want to play a basketball game.”

Up next, the Ducks will hit the road for four straight games beginning next weekend in Los Angeles where they will take on No. 10 UCLA and USC. “It’s February,” Graves said.

“February leads to March, March leads to April. Our kids know that the end is coming so we want to make sure that we are playing our best basketball and continuing to improve each day and I think we are.”

OSPIRG Students is the state’s oldest student-directed and funded nonprofit started in 1971. We trained students to be effective activist and win a greener, healthier future for us all. Since our start, we’ve done everything from passing Oregon’s Coal to Clean bill, to protecting $2.6 billion of the Pell Grant. Last term we put Wildlife Over Waste by winning a ban on foam cups and takeout containers here in Eugene! Thanks to everyone who come by our giant turtle table and signed a petition.

This term, we’re working to tackle climate change by transitioning to 100% electric buses in Eugene.

The thing that makes us effective is that we’re funded by all of you! Every two years students at UO vote to reaffirm our funding. We’re funded by students chipping-in $1.75 per term, and last year over 80% of Ducks voted yes for OPSIRG—so thanks! We pooled this money statewide and hire professional staff to work for students. Expert staff give students the skills and resources to make a difference here on campus, and also in Salem and Washington D.C. where decision are made.

We will refund any UO student who does not wish to fund OSPIRG. Students may request a refund between 9:00am and 5:00pm, Wednesday 2/12 through Friday 2/14 at the EMU North Entrance. Please bring your student ID. Feel free to also stop by if you are interested in volunteering or interning for course credit, or to sign our petition for 100% electric buses!
