GARTER BANDS PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS, MUSICAL AVENUES FOR STUDENTS

➥ MILES

TRINIDAD, @MILES_TRINIDAD

The Yellow and Green Garter Bands are the only ones of their kind in the country. Consisting of two different groups with 12 musicians, each contains some of the most elite musicians that the Oregon Marching Band has to offer.

Unlike the Oregon Marching Band, the Garter Bands are both completely student-led, which has provided many students a head start in music education and direction. The band’s main purpose is to perform at special events such as football and basketball games, but the scholarship-based band has also served as a platform for members to dive into music education. It also strives to show prospective college students that they still have musical opportunities in college and beyond.

According to Christopher McCurdy, a Garter Band alumnus and a graduate teaching fellow in the school of music, members need to perform at a higher caliber than required for the Oregon Marching Band. Members are required to be in the Oregon Marching Band concurrently with the Garter Band, which may total over 28 hours of rehearsals and performances per week.

There is only one person per instrument in the group.

Members are expected to memorize upwards of 100 songs, and be able to improvise solos, leaving little margin for error. “It requires an elite level of talent to play. There is no one to rely on, no laying out, no playing wrong notes,� McCurdy said.

However, the Garter Band is more than just a skilled group that plays music for special events. The group also tries to

inspire prospective students to pursue music after high school.

During spring term, the Garter Band travels across the state holding music clinics and performing concerts at high schools to show students that they do not have to put down their instruments after they graduate — and it works.

Logistics Director Ted Schera said some of the high school students he taught at the schools have joined both the Oregon Marching Band and the Garter Band. “It’s really cool to see the next generation come in,� Schera said.

The Garter Band has helped some of its own members pursue music as a lifelong experience.

McCurdy, a music education major, credits much of his success in school to organizing all the rehearsals and directing gigs last year. For Schera, his scholarship has made it possible for him to remain in school and be part of the band. Raiko Green, the musical director of the Yellow Garter Band, wants to become a band director and sees the group as a perfect opportunity to lead a group of passionate individuals and to get involved with music. “[Joining Garter Band] is hands down the best decision I have ever made,� Green said.

Although pumping up a crowd and contributing to the electric atmosphere in Matthew Knight Arena may be an exciting perk for these musicians, being part of the Garter Band is ultimately more than that. “It’s not just playing for athletic teams, it’s about students pursuing music as a lifelong experience,�

McCurdy said.

There is a history of homeless individuals receiving letters of trespass on UO property.

UOPD TAKEN TO COURT OVER HOMELESS ACCESS TO CAMPUS ➥ NOAH

M C G R AW, @ M C N O A H M C G R AW

Michael Gannon fell asleep in the Lawrence Architecture Library on Feb. 16, 2014. At 12:35 a.m., two hours after the building had closed, an officer of the University of Oregon Police Department found him. After waking him up, the officer asked him to explain why he was there.

According to his attorney Brian Michaels, Gannon was only in the library by accident.

He had fallen asleep before the library closed.

Gannon is homeless, but Michaels says he was not using the library as a replacement for a warm bed. The officer deemed Gannon’s reasons insufficient, so he issued him a letter of trespass, banning Gannon from all University of Oregon property for 18 months.

Letters of trespass are different than tickets.

Gannon was not charged with trespassing, which would have meant a ticket and possible arrest.

Instead, letters of trespass involve no tickets, just complete bans from campus.

Gannon’s attorney describes him as an avid reader, who visited the university libraries frequently. Gannon contacted an attorney and filed an appeal with UO Police Chief Carolyn McDermed on Feb. 26. Gannon felt that his 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.

constitutional rights were violated; since the university and sections of its owned property are public areas, the UOPD should not be able to prohibit his access to them.

Michaels feels that Gannon is part of a history of discrimination by the university. He believes the university targeted Gannon because he is homeless.

There has been a history of homeless people on campus receiving letters of trespass, Michaels said. Gannon knows several people who have been banned from campus. Michaels has seen several other cases, but Gannon’s is the first he has pursued. Other stories Michaels has heard involve people sleeping on benches and grassy areas. “[UOPD is] using minor infractions as a trigger to kick these people off campus for 18 months,�

Michaels said. He doesn’t deny that being in Lawrence after hours was against the law. “If they had just charged him with trespassing, I don’t think we would have fought it,� Michaels said.

The UOPD asserts that using letters of trespass is appropriate, because the offenders are

“disrupting and interfering with the mission of the University of Oregon,� as outlined in the trespass notice. They deny that homeless people have been targeted in any way, said UOPD spokesman Kelly McIver. Because of this, Gannon’s appeal was denied by Chief McDermed on March 10.

Gannon continued to come to campus, and was spotted by the UOPD three more times throughout the year. The second time, in April 2014, he was charged with trespassing, and the last time, on Aug. 1, 2014, he was arrested.

Gannon and his attorney are now fighting for dismissal in Municipal Court. They still believe his ban from campus is unconstitutional.

The ban covers all property owned by the university, including properties in Bend, Portland and Charleston. If Gannon is found even walking on the sidewalk in front of a university-owned building, such as the parking lots on Alder Street or even off-campus student dorms, he could be arrested — only by a UOPD officer, not the Eugene Police.

Gannon and Michaels filed a motion to dismiss on June 9, arguing that a ban from public sidewalks and streets was unconstitutional.

The only reason someone can be banned from a public place is if they pose a danger to those nearby — in this case, to UO students. “Nothing Mr. Gannon is accused of doing would in any way be seen as a threat to the protection of the University’s students,� Michaels stated in court documents. “Mr. Gannon fell asleep once. What are the policies and procedures the University has promulgated to classify such an act worthy of exclusion for the protection of its students?�

Michaels also believes the university is a public space, so the UOPD has no right to ban Gannon from it. “Essentially the university is no more [the UOPD’s] property than it is [Gannon’s],� he said.

The university maintains that issuing letters of trespass is within its rights. In a statement, UO said “the university’s practices regarding letters of trespass are reasonable and legal. Further comment on a pending criminal case would be inappropriate.�

The official policy surrounding letters of trespass states that anyone can be given one who “commits violations of ORS, OAR or University Rules,� or has “been served with a L.O.T. and returns to University property under conditions contrary to restrictions,� among other guidelines.

Gannon violated both of these rules by staying in Lawrence Hall after the building closed and returning to campus after receiving a letter of trespass.

Gannon’s court date is Oct. 17. Michaels said he is surprised the city was willing to try Gannon on behalf of the university, but is using the opportunity to try and change what he sees as an “atrociously abominable policy toward the disadvantaged.� “He hasn’t done anything but fall asleep,�

Michaels said.

K O S T E C K A , @ R YA N _ K O S T E C K A

With the 2015 athletic season underway and seven Oregon teams in action, there’s no shortage when it comes to sports.

Although some Oregon fans might think the world is over after the football team’s blowout loss Saturday night, there’s still plenty of optimism to be had regarding other sports.

Here’s a breakdown of each fall sport and its national ranking: Football (2-2, 0-1 in Pac-12): Entering the fifth week of the season, the Ducks are in very unfamiliar territory. Oregon is 2-2 and has yet to win a game against a Power Five conference. The quarterback situation is extremely murky because there seems to be no answer between Vernon Adams Jr. and Jeff Lockie. Both have played and both have struggled more than succeeded. Defensively, DeForest Buckner has been a terror on the defensive line but the secondary is having coverage and tackling issues. The season is far from over but the Ducks must regroup before the schedule ramps up in the middle of October.

No. 18 Volleyball (7-4, 1-1 in Pac-12): The Ducks have yet to play a home game this year, starting with 11 straight games on the road.

Oregon began the season with nine games over 12 days that spanned four different states. Senior Martenne Bettendorf, sophomore Taylor Agost and freshman Lindsey Vander Weide have led Oregon’s offensive attack on the outside while junior Kacey Nady and freshman Lauren Page hold down the middle. Vander Weide notched 25 kills in her first Pac-12 game last week against Oregon State. Junior libero Amanda Benson and senior defensive specialist Chelsey Keoho anchor the defense.

Women’s Soccer (3-6, 0-1 in Pac-12): It’s been a rough preseason for the Ducks but they seemed to have turned the tide with their most recent efforts. After securing back-to-back wins over Air Force and Portland State, Oregon opened up Pac-12 play with a 1-0 loss to UCLA in Los Angeles. Even though it was a loss, it was a much better result than last year’s 5-0 thrashing.

Head coach Kat Mertz has her team playing good defense, allowing

eight goals thus far. The offense has only scored six goals, all coming from different players.

No. 6 Men’s Cross Country: The men of Oregon began their season with a resounding victory in the Bill Dellinger Invitational on Pre’s Trail at Alton Baker Park in Eugene on Sept. 11. Oregon’s top five runners took places 1 through 5 for 15 points, good enough for a 31-point victory over second-place Gonzaga. Edward Cheserek won his ninth race in his last 10 attempts.

Oregon’s second through fifth place runners all finished within one second of Cheserek, showing the Ducks’ tremendous depth.

No. 7 Women’s Cross Country: Just like the men, the women started out their season with a victory in the Bill Dellinger Invitational on Sept. 11. Oregon, led by Alli Cash and Waverly Neer, battled Gonzaga for much of the race, but the depth of the Ducks eventually wore down the Bulldogs for 23 points and the win. Oregon was running shorthanded as veteran runners Molly Grabill, Annie Leblanc and Maggie Schmaedick didn’t participate.

No. 12 Men’s Golf: The Ducks have participated in one tournament this year and they emerged with a tie for first place with rival Washington. At the Husky Invitational, Oregon sat in a tie for second place after the first two rounds, but a 2-under showing on the final day pushed the Ducks to the top. Sulman Raza finished fifth overall with a 1-over (214) while Thomas Lim saved his best for last.

Lim shot a 2-under on the final day to help him finish seventh with a 3-over (216) for the tourney.

No. 23 Women’s Golf: The women have played in two tournaments thus far. After taking sixth place in the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational in New Mexico, the Ducks finished third in the EastWest Match Play in Wisconsin on Sept. 20. Oregon then had two match play efforts and won both matches. The Ducks defeated Michigan 4-1 on Sept. 21 then beat Colorado 3-2 the next day.

Senior Caroline Inglis continues to be Oregon’s No. 1 player while Kathleen Scavo and Petra Salko provide depth for the Ducks.

SUSHI BURRITO CART ➥ EMERSON

Unami Sushi in Springfield (4205 Main St.) claims to be Oregon’s only sushi burrito restaurant.

It’s likely the only one in the world that serves sushi burritos with bacon.

The restaurant’s bacon sushi burrito is an elaborate combination of spicy tuna, fresh salmon, cream cheese, roasted jalapeĂąo, cucumber, tempura applewood smoked bacon, avocado and house-made sriracha maple sauce. All of this is wrapped in soy paper or crunchy seaweed. “It’s definitely one you won’t find anywhere else,â€? said owner Toby Helms.

Unami’s menu features roughly 20 sushi burritos.

From the conventional “classic� burritos to the “premium� burritos, each contains 9 to 14 ingredients.

Different varieties of raw and cooked Oregon-caught fish, seaweed salad, types of tempura and veggies native to a typical sushi roll and house-curated sauces craft the menu’s impressive variety. “When I first started seven months ago, getting people into sushi burritos was like pulling teeth,� said Unami sous chef Joey Noles. He added that customers are generally distrustful of new menu items. But “now they get it every time.�

The foil-wrapped burritos, essentially larger sushi rolls, are undoubtedly well worth the trip into Springfield. However, sushi-craving customers in Eugene will soon not have to travel far to find their own sushi burrito.

On Oct. 5, Unami will open a second location, SuBo, a cart situated at West 3rd Avenue and Van Buren Street across from Ninkasi Brewing in the Whiteaker neighborhood.

MALONE, @ALLMALONE

The new location comes with patio seating and a smaller version of Unami’s menu.

Prices start at $9 and go up to $16 for more decadent burritos like the Samurai (made with fresh salmon, yellowtail, yellowfin tuna and seared pacific albacore tuna sashimi). SuBo’s menu will also feature nachos made with spicy Oregon albacore, served over organic, multigrain Late July chips.

Each recipe, although complex, is delicately crafted, and no single ingredient overpowers the palette.

Helms previously managed 2nd St. Sushi in Hamilton, Montana. The restaurant was deemed one of the top 100 Asian restaurants in the country in 2011 by MenuAsian.com.

There, Helms created wine and sake pairings with different plates of sushi.

Designing these courses forced him to create new combinations constantly. “[Making recipes] is kind of like chemistry,� said Helms. “A lot of times it’s not what you put in, it’s the amount.�

2nd St. Sushi’s head chef Dan Carlson joined Helms in Springfield when he opened Unami in Springfield in June 2013.

Helms opened Unami as a quick-service sushi destination. The existing fast sushi alternatives were restaurants where premade sushi coasts by on conveyor belts. He noted that these restaurants rarely diversify their menus. “It’s usually California rolls wrapped in something else,� he said. “I wanted people to order whatever they wanted and get it made right in front of them.�

⚡ SPORTS Oregon volleyball matures and grows on the road

➡ R YA N

K O S T E C K A , @ R YA N _ K O S T E C K A

Freshman student-athlete Lindsey Vander Weide begins the “student” portion of her college career this week. Unlike most of her classmates, Vander Weide has already been hard at work on Oregon’s campus since the beginning of August.

During that time, Vander Weide met with her 14 teammates who comprise the Oregon volleyball team and began to prepare for the upcoming season.

Fast forward to the present and the No. 18 Oregon volleyball team, already 11 games into the season, has yet to play at Matthew Knight Arena. The Ducks have traveled across much of the country, including a road trip that began in Pennsylvania and ended two weeks later in Texas.

It was over that time period that Oregon head coach Jim Moore said his team “came together” and “matured” so that they’ll be ready for the daunting Pac-12 season laying ahead of them.

“One thing we know how to do is play on the road,” Moore said. “Given our schedule

M O N D AY, S E P T E M B E R 2 8 , 2 0 1 5

this year, it’s something we’re going to have to be good at to win in this conference.”

Six of Oregon’s upcoming nine road games, including a 3-0 loss to No. 14 Arizona Sunday, will take place against teams currently ranked in the top 25.

With that upcoming schedule, it’s a good thing the Ducks began the season on the road. The road games have given the team a sense of what it’s like to play in different and hostile environments.

The low-point of the road trip came at the end when the Ducks traveled to Texas to play four games over five days. Perhaps feeling a bit of road weariness, Oregon fell to No. 5 Texas in straight sets before losing to No. 4 Nebraska 3-2 the next day.

“We were tired from traveling but we really showed a lot of fight in those matches,” Moore said. “No excuses, we lost. But, we did show that we are a very good team and can play with anyone.”

After returning to the confines of their own homes for two weeks of practice, the Ducks

Freshman Lindsey Vander Weide spikes the ball in the Civil War game against Oregon State.

(Samuel Marshall)

had to begin Pac-12 play on the road against Oregon State last Thursday, a match Oregon dominated 3-1 for the win.

“We traveled for two weeks and that was super long and tedious,” Vander Weide said after the win over Oregon State. “Being able to just drive 40 minutes up the road and play a game was great.”

The Ducks will return home for a match on Thursday against Colorado. Oregon will be a vastly different team than they were on the road. The group learned how to rely and trust one another on the road, something huge to the success of this team.

“Martenne struggled tonight but [setter] Maggie [Scott] trusts so many other hitters that they stepped up,” Moore said after Oregon’s 3-1 win over Oregon State. “After that road trip, we learned who was going to be good and hopefully it continues to show.”

After maturing and coming together as a unit, the Oregon volleyball team is now ready to take on the gauntlet that is the Pac-12 conference.

Oregon’s Medical Amnesty law encourages calling for help when things get out of hand. (Cole Elsasser)

M O N D AY, S E P T E M B E R 2 8 , 2 0 1 5

On Wednesday, Sept. 23, a party on University Street was dispersed by the Eugene Police Department (EPD.) One University of Oregon student was arrested and three others were cited. Three students received a minor in possession (MIP.) The Friday before school starts marks the beginning of the EPD party patrols and increased lookout for alcohol and drug violations in the West and South University areas, according to a press release from the EPD. This is the EPD’s response to the phenomenon known across campuses nationwide as the Red Zone. The Red Zone is a period of six to eight weeks at the start of the school year during which there is an increased amount of alcohol violations and incidents of sexual assault.

During this time, many students drink to excess, but hesitate to call for help if things get out of hand. What many don’t know is that in 2014, a new law known as Medical Amnesty was put into State Legislation to address this hesitation, Jenn Summers, the director of Substance Abuse and Student Success at UO explained.

If an individual seeks medical attention for an alcohol related incident and are under the legal drinking age, they will not be charged with a MIP but are not exempt from any other laws.

Summers hopes that the law will encourage more students to call 9-1-1 when they need to. “If you even contemplate once, if it even enters your brain, do it,�

Summers said.

It doesn’t cost anything for a medical professional to come and examine you and they will determine on site whether or not you need to seek further medical attention at a hospital.

The 2014 Clery Report, an annual report on security and

safety compiled by the University of Oregon under the Clery Act, showed that In 2013, one third of liquor and drug violations recorded were reported during the Red Zone in the months of October and November, Kelly McIver, Communications Director and Public Information Officer for the University of Oregon Police Department (UOPD) said. Half of 2013’s recorded sex offenses also occurred during that same time frame.

The reasons for the crime increase in the students vary.

Summers said these reasons include: students being in a new environment, being away from home for the first time and experimenting with drugs and alcohol.

The EPD has put forward a substantial amount of effort to educate students on the dangers of binge drinking and prevent sexual assault, said Summers and Kerry Frazee, the director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education at UO (SAPE.) “A lot of students have an expectation of what college is like and Jenn [Summers,] myself, and many more in the division of student life are trying to combat that.�

KERRY FRAZEE, Director of SAPE

SAPE has a crisis intervention hotline which students can call for support and guidance for victims of sexual assault. 541-346SAFE will get you in touch with counselors who can send a person to meet with survivors any time of the day within twenty minutes, something which Frazee says is rare but necessary for a university to have.

In order to avoid drunk driving, for those who choose to drink during the Red Zone or any time while around campus, rideshare is an alternative that will take students home who are intoxicated, according to Kevin Dobyns, the director of finance for Safe Ride.

However, this UO program is not an alternative for a medical transportation and will refer all those seeking medical attention to the UOPD. The UO has instituted many programs and policies in order to decrease alcohol-related violations on campus. One program is Alcohol.edu, in which all incoming freshman and transfer students are required to participate. The purpose of the program is to educate students about the pros and cons of alcohol usage and how to help those who may be suffering from alcohol poisoning. The program is split into two parts. The first section takes place before school begins and the second is completed several weeks after the start of the term. This allows Substance Abuse and Student Success to collect vast amounts of data from students.

The data collected from Alcohol.edu indicated a decrease of high-risk drinkers on campus from 36 percent of first year students to 29 percent in 2014.

Summers says the program has played a major role in this decrease.

The UO also puts on an event where volunteers go door-to-door in the area around campus to welcome students to the community and discuss school policy and regulations. The event, UO Community Welcome,

will take place Tuesday, Sept. 29, according to Sheryl Eyster the Associate Dean of Students.

“You want to make sure you’re meeting students where they’re at, on campus and in the surrounding area,” said Summers.

The Red Zone is also a result of new students who are unaware of school policy. Students from other states or countries may not know school or state policies. This is why the university has programs in place relating to the Red Zone. One such program from SAPE aims to build off of what students learn during IntroDUCKtion and the freshman sexual assault education site Haven.

Get Explicit 101 is a new program to help reduce sexual violence during the Red Zone and on campus.

The program holds a total of 80 workshops for the incoming freshman living in the residence halls.

Residence hall advisors will inform them which session they are to attend, Frazee said. The program will discuss healthy sexuality, boundaries, consent and the role of power and privilege in sexual violence.

“The most important thing is that we are wanting to make a safe and healthy environment and we want students to have a role in building the campus community,” Frazee said.

For incoming students this fall term, Summers has some words of advice.

“Be safe. Know your rights and responsibilities, know the laws and always look out for your friend,” she said.

STUDENT REP. HELENA SCHLEGEL RESIGNS FROM BOARD OF TRUSTEES FIELD, @ANDYTSUBASAF

Helena Schlegel resigned from her post as the only student member of the University of Oregon Board of Trustees on Sept. 25.

Her official statement came in an email sent to the university secretary, Angela Wilhelms, Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s Director of Executive Appointments, Mary Rae Moller, and the Emerald’s Editor in Chief, Dahlia Bazzaz.

Schlegel is also the president of the Associated Students of the University Oregon, which serves as the student government of the university.

Schlegel attributed her resignation to feelings of frustration toward what she felt to be a lack of consideration of her opinions and proposals by other members of the board. “I feel that as the student trustee, I wasn’t regarded as equal to the other trustees, and that my thoughts and concerns that I shared with the board were not always regarded as seriously as I wish they were,� she said in a statement to the Emerald.

Schlegel mentioned her desire to focus more on her role as student body president, which she feels would be more effective in advocating on the behalf of students.

Chair of the University of Oregon Board of Trustees Chuck Lillis responded to the news of Schlegel’s resignation. He thanked Helena for her 10 month service as the student trustee. “Helena has been a delight to work with, and I appreciate her thoughtful approach to tackling tough issues,� he wrote in an email to the Emerald. “She has been a strong member of the board, offering many terrific suggestions and improvements to operations and policy.�

Contrary to Schlegel’s feeling

that her views were not seriously regarded. Lillis mentioned that “the perspective and insights of our student trustee are important and valued.�

In the most recent board meeting, convened on Sept. 11, Schlegel criticized amendments made to the board’s “Statement of Governance and Trustee Responsibilities,� which called for trustee members to be mindful of their duty to the board when publicly stating “personal opinions on university matters.�

Despite voting down the proposed resolution, it was passed 12-2.

During the BOT meeting in June, Schlegel also criticized changes to the Student Conduct Code which removed panel hearings which were overseen by 10 students, four faculty, and four administration members over student conduct cases. She had felt that students were not involved in the proposal which had called for its removal.

Schlegel was also a firm critic of the board’s approval to increase tuition by 3.8 percent for residents and 3.7 for nonresidents during a meeting which took place in March.

The ASUO will hold an application and interview process prior to recommending a candidate to Governor Kate Brown. The governor is responsible for appointing a new student representative to the UO Board of Trustees. Applications will be available on the ASUO website and are due by Oct. 4. “We look forward to the appointment process and to welcoming a new student to the Board as soon as possible,� Lillis said.

Meanwhile, Schlegel will continue her duties as the student representative of the Board of Trustees until Nov. 18, 2015.

FIRST WEEK WARDROBE ➥ TA N N E R

OWENS, @T_OWENS21

The first week of school means first impressions. First days of anything are nerve-wracking, and being surrounded by 25,000 of our peers can make the adrenaline pump that much harder.

Students are excited to see who their professors are and who they want to sit by in all of their classes. Although many of us have heard that we are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, we inherently make assumptions based on people’s outward appearances.

Many of us experience this judgement from both sides during the first week of a new school year. This happens for a number of reasons — whether it’s seeking new friends, scoping out which people look smart or figuring out who to stay away from. While in grade school most people would dress to impress by wearing their favorite new back-to-school clothes. That’s not always the case for college students. In Eugene we have a very wide array of styles present in daily life.

The busy lives of college students can create a habit of getting little to no sleep on a nightly basis. Waking up after a few short hours of sleep makes mornings rough, which causes a lack of effort going into appearance. You will recognize these night owls during the first week of school. They’ll be sporting baggy sweatshirts, sweatpants, hats and repeat outfits. It’s possible that these people are actually athletes, many of whom practically live in sweats. You will know for sure by the bright Oregon athletic backpack they carry.

Some students will come to the first week of school dressed

in their finest business attire, ready to raise their hand for every question the professor asks. These people are easy to dislike because they seem to have all their shit together on day one. As the week goes on many of these go-getters will slowly lose their pizazz.

Now that summer is finally over, many people can’t wait to show off their fall style. The first week of school is a fashion show for these people with campus as their runway. To recognize the fashionistas look for uncomfortable shoes, an abundance of jewelry and a well-coiffed hairstyle. They’ve had their outfit picked out days ahead of time, so I guess they deserve this time to shine.

With all of the student groups we have on campus, there are bound to be people rocking their organization’s attire. Their goal for the week is to get you to join. They’ll throw snacks, coupons and free T-shirts your way. If you play your cards right you may be able to end this week in a student group with a closet full of new tees.

One style that is hard to pinpoint is the hipster style. Most of us can’t tell if hipsters think they are being fashionable or if they are just going for a comfortable look. Either way, they somehow pull it off for any occasion. These people can be spotted wearing rolledup jeans, long scarves, Birkenstocks with socks and one-shoulder satchels.

Whether it’s for style or comfort, dress the way you want because people are going to judge you no matter what. Choosing the right clothes gives you an opportunity to express yourself. Be confident, give people a reason to do a double take and try not to sweat too much.

The crowds of Eugene are outfitted with a wide variety of styles.

OREGON DUCKS BASEBALL REGROUPS WITH REVAMPED PITCHING STAFF ➡ KENNY

J A C O B Y, @ K E N N Y J A C O B Y

Since the Oregon baseball program was reinstated in 2009, the Ducks have qualified for an NCAA Regional tournament five times, including each of the past four seasons. Only once have they advanced to a Super Regional, and never have they reached the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

Last year, the Ducks failed to live up to expectations.

They started the season 13-2 then dropped 13 of their next 18 games, and found themselves struggling to stay afloat in the Pac-12. They managed to win six of their last seven conference series, including the regular season finale against No. 2 UCLA. Although they squeaked into the playoffs, they were eliminated by Iowa after two losses in three games.

“I held myself accountable for a group last year that we felt didn’t achieve its potential,” manager George Horton said at the beginning of fall practice. “We were very encouraged this time last year. Something got in the way of that. We need to play better, coach better — subtle little things here and there we need to do better.”

Now the Ducks have their work cut out for them.

Their two best hitters, Mitchell Tolman and Scott Heineman, and two best bullpen arms, Garrett Cleavinger and Josh Graham, were selected in the first 11 rounds of the 2015 MLB Draft. Pitcher Conor Harber was also drafted in the 16th round. All five juniors elected to forego their senior seasons with Oregon and sign with their respective MLB teams.

The Pittsburgh Pirates drafted starting pitcher Cole Irvin in the 32nd round, but the 6-foot-3, 182-pound left-hander turned down the offer and returned to Oregon. His draft stock fell after his disappointing return from Tommy John surgery, which caused him to redshirt the 2014 season. Restricted by a pitch count limitation, Irvin won just two games last year, as opposed to 12 during his 2013 first-team freshman All-American season.

The velocity on his fastball took a hit during his recovery last season, but Irvin said his arm now feels “100 percent.”

“I’m currently coming back from a long toss program,” Irvin said. “I’m full-blown and ready to go. I’m in all the drills in practice and not skipping a beat. Getting an entire fall behind me is going to be huge for me for this next season.”

Matt Krook, who redshirted last season to rehabilitate his arm from Tommy John surgery,

“IT HAS A CHANCE TO BE OUR BEST ROTATION EVER, WHICH IS SAYING A LOT.” GEORGE HORTON, manager of the Oregon Ducks baseball team.

will join Irvin in what pitching coach Dean Stiles described as a potentially “formidable” starting rotation. Krook was also named a first-team freshman All-American for maintaining a 1.79 ERA and striking out 60 batters in 45 innings in 2014. His season was cut short when he left the game against Washington in the third inning due to a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing arm.

Krook, who the Miami Marlins chose in the first round of the 2013 MLB Draft, played in a summer league with junior shortstop Mark Karaviotis for the past few months. Karaviotis said the 6-foot-3, 205-pound left-hander was, like Irvin, limited by a pitch count regimen during his recovery.

“He dominated pretty much all summer,” Karaviotis said of Krook. “His rehab process is going really well.”

Stiles said Krook has shown no decrease in velocity during his bullpen sessions thus far.

Six-foot-6, 235-pound left-hander David Peterson will likely join Krook and Irvin in what Horton described as possibly “the most special rotation I’ve ever had.”

“It has a chance to be our best rotation ever, which is saying a lot,” Horton said. “It also has a chance to be one of the best ever in college baseball. That’s up to them. Potential is one thing and having that come to fruition [is another.]”

18 freshmen and junior college transfers have joined the roster this fall. Karaviotis said the newcomers have done a good job grasping the program just four or five days into the year.

The Ducks begin the 2016 season on Feb. 19 with a road series at San Diego State.

“The journey to Omaha starts right now,” Karaviotis said.
