RV Pluteus has been the research boat for the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston since 2002, and now the institute hopes to replace it. (Courtesy of OIMB)

It’s 42 feet in length, 12 feet across, over 40 years old and has been the research boat for the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, the marine studies wing of the University of Oregon, for the better part of the last couple decades.

But now, OIMB said that the Research Vessel Pluteus has simply become too old.

That’s why the institute and a group of Oregon state lawmakers are attempting to obtain funding for a replacement.

Craig Young, director of the institute, said that the current vessel is a small trawler, constructed in 1973 at the University of Delaware, and named after the larva of a sea urchin. “It was designed for teaching and research. Most of the research it did in those early years was in the Atlantic Ocean in estuaries, or in the tropics, so it was actually designed for use on relatively calm waters,” he said. Young said the boat is used by OIMB for similar purposes.

It was Young who in 2002 brought the boat to OIMB, which is based in Charleston, Oregon. “Already it was pretty old at that time,” he said.

After so many years of service, Young said the need for a replacement has been apparent for some time. Not only is the boat suffering from issues like aged

wiring, but it’s not able to accommodate increasingly larger classes of marine biology students.

“The University of Oregon started an undergraduate degree in marine biology in 2005 with just a couple of students, and it’s been on an upward trajectory ever since,” Young said. “Now, in the typical freshman class, we have more than 200 students enrolled.”

The increase in students means that it’s more difficult for full classes to go out on the water at once. “Some of the best places to take students are about an hour-and-a-half-away,” Young said. “Even though our classes meet all day long, it’s virtually impossible to split our classes into two parts, take half out for half the day, and take the other half out the other half of the day. We need a boat that’s large enough to take our classes out as a single unit.”

It is a bipartisan group of state legislators that stepped up to support the funding effort in the 2019 legislative session and that plans to do so for the 2020 session, which convenes Feb. 3.

Senator Arnie Roblan (D-Coos Bay) and Representatives Caddy McKeown (D-Coos Bay) and David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford) were the chief sponsors

of SB 255 during the 2019 session, which would have appropriated $500,000 to correspond with private investments for a replacement vessel. The bill, which would have taken effect July 1 of 2019, ultimately failed.

“We started having conversations with OIMB a few years ago about how do we get a boat,” said Roblan, “so they put it out to bid, and it ended up as a local business opportunity for one of our boat builders.”

Roblan said the plan is to ask for around half a million dollars in state funds. “We looked at the draft of what the cost is going to be, and it does mean that the university’s going to have to come up with at least 50%, maybe a little bit more, of the money necessary to get it.”

So far, Young said the general specifications for a potential new craft have been designed. The new vessel would have the capacity to carry a class of 25 students.

Young said there are no plans yet for what to name a replacement, but that there is a tradition of naming crafts after marine life or famed scientists. “I predict it will probably be the name of some organism that members of the public won’t realize,” said Young, “but it means something to the marine biologists.”

UO PRESIDENT MICHAEL SCHILL GIVES

ANNUAL STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY ADDRESS

BY JACK FORREST • TWITTER @JACKMANDU55

WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY ADDRESS? An annual address that UO’s president gives outlining goals for the year and updating interested parties on the condition of the university. The speech is given in front of the UO senate and is taped so those not in attendance can watch it.

University of Oregon President Michael Schill gave his annual State of the University address last Wednesday where he touched on the budget deficit, UO’s commitment to Dreamers despite a Supreme Court challenge, the Knight Campus and new majors.

Schill started his address to the senate on a more somber note, discussing the Supreme Court challenge to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy. With the recent challenges, Schill said he wanted to restate his commitment to “Dreamers” at UO. The case being heard in the Supreme Court will decide whether Trump’s attempts to end the program started under former President Barack Obama’s administration are constitutional.

“We could be in June without the program,” Schill said. “What things we will be doing is continuing to work with the AAU (Association of American Universities), APLU (Association of Public and Landgrant Universities) and other university entities to close our own Dreamer rule to make sure that we do whatever we can do to protect our students who are Dreamers and in particular, our students who are recipients of DACA.” The somber mood was retained throughout much of the address with discussions of budget deficits and low financial reserves. At one point, Schill said PA G E 4

some blame lies with UO’s trend to unionize.

“One of the things that produced our fragility is that we, unlike virtually all of our peer schools, tend to heavily unionize, in the faculty as well as in the staff,” Schill said. “It just means we lack some of the flexibility, some of the tools, some of the levers that other universities have. Maybe it’s worth it to have that, that’s a decision that the faculty made, but it does create that situation.”

Schill made these comments just days after graduate employees negotiated a deal with the administration, ending a month-long stalemate and threats of striking.

The UO budget situation is still looking bleak, with low state funding compared to most other states, according to Schill. Some of the $11.6 million in cuts from last year still need to be made and additional cuts are being forecasted for this year to help balance out the budget. These cuts could keep happening up until early in the next academic year.

In a meeting with other universities in Oregon, Schill found that UO’s financial reserves are much lower in comparison. He said this is because UO spent a lot of money in the past years to accelerate growth, but it has left the school working on a deficit.

The deficit also continues to grow because of a loss

of more than 1,000 international students, which Schill said equals a $33-million loss in revenue over the last few years. He said that is part of the reason UO has its largest incoming class ever, to make up some of this loss in funds.

There was some lighter news that Schill was able to bring to his address. After consulting with other provosts around the state, UO Provost Patrick Phillips and Schill said that the university is behind Oregon’s other universities for a number of new majors being introduced. Schill said that in order to stay competitive nationally, UO needs to start introducing majors that students are interested in. Later in the meeting, the senate approved a bachelor’s in neuroscience program. Planned for the next meeting on Dec. 11 is the approval of a bachelor’s in data science and Schill said to look out for a new bachelor’s in bioengineering in the coming terms.

Schill also announced a new monetary gift, the amount of which is currently unknown. He said that $10 million of the dollars donated will be used to kick off a biomedical data science center that will bring together professors from 10 different programs across UO to collaborate on research.

BOOK REVIEW:

ZADIE SMITH’S SUPERB INAUGURAL SHORT STORY COLLECTION, ‘GRAND UNION’

BY AUDREY KALMAN

Zadie Smith’s “Grand Union”. (D L Young/Emerald)

In “Grand Union,” esteemed British writer Zadie Smith amusingly draws readers into the manifestations of her musings on the human condition in her first collection of short stories.

Smith’s tact with fiction is evident throughout the collection, just in case her earlier works, including bestsellers “White Teeth” and “Swing Time,” weren’t convincing enough.

In “Grand Union,” she paints complex pictures of regular people. At first glance, they seem straightforward, but as the portrayals develop, the intricacy of even the most regular-seeming people becomes clear. Some of these most striking portrayals revolve around the relationships parents have with their children — they simultaneously amuse and stimulate.

In some of the first stories of the collection, Smith’s youngest characters are the most entertaining. In the opening, “The Dialectic,” the young, nameless daughter is critical of her mother.

The first story opens with the line, “‘I would like to be on good terms with all animals,’ remarked the woman, to her daughter,” as she lounges on the beach, pregnant with her fourth child. But her daughter is having none of this act — as her mother is eating a chicken wing during this exchange. The mother continues, “‘I did not say that I am. I said that I should like to be.’ The daughter let out a cruel laugh. ‘Words are cheap,’ she said.” Right from the first page, on which this dialogue transpires, the characters in “Grand Union” are reminding each other of the harsh realities of their worlds, while

these same worlds are simultaneously humorous and reassuringly lighthearted.

In the following story, “Sentimental Education,” this divide between childhood and adulthood is bridged skillfully by a few lines in which it is revealed that, “In all the many stories she’d told herself about herself since childhood, the narrative that had never appeared, not in any form, was the one where she had the power to hurt anybody in any way.” Smith addresses both the young and the old — the readily critical daughter and the weary mother of four eating the chicken wing — in one fell swoop.

She connects the characters even as they exist across a generational divide, the nameless woman had never seen herself as harmful, which works to absolve the harsh daughter in the previous story of any blame. As for the mother, she also seems to connect to the nameless woman in “Sentimental Education;” how could she be harming an animal?

She never could have imagined it. Smith forms connections among the characters of “Grand Union,” regardless of the boundaries of each sovereign story.

The story “Downtown,” written in the first person, begins with an esteemed Austrian painter visiting the narrator’s apartment with his exemplary daughters: “They wore the kind of clothes you can’t buy in the shop, you have to get them delivered direct from the turn of the century. Fucking angels, both of them.” The narrator proceeds, “Meanwhile my kids raged around the place, dressed as long-

distance truckers, hyped-up on sour gummies.

They clung to their tablets as if to items necessary for their very survival – colostomy bags, say.” Smith is able to encapsulate the idea of insecurity in the most comical way. Why are the narrator’s children dressed like long-distance truckers? Unclear. Why do they cling to their tablets? Children cling to their tablets because it is 2019. Smith is able to tangle the timelessness of insecurity with the strikingly timely reality of kids clinging to their tablets.

The differences that separate parents from their children are not necessarily humorous in nature, but Smith allows them to be. She crafts them in a way that makes them effortlessly so. It would almost feel silly to take life seriously after finishing “Grand Union,” because, in the universe the collection creates, the complexities of life are nothing more difficult than humorous anecdotes, stories to tell at a dinner party yet to come.

More about the author...

Zadie Smith’s first book “White Teeth” was an immediate best-seller. She won several awards for her work including the Guardian First Book Award, Langston Hughes Medal and the Women’s Prize for Fiction.

‘INTERTWINED AT THE CORE’ —

HOW SCIENTISTS USE ART TO DISPLAY THEIR DATA

BY ANNA MATTSON

Inside Columbia Hall, a Volcanology professor is creating new music after a long day of teaching. The sound of a string quartet echoes through the halls at the University of Oregon William Knight Law Center.

In downtown Eugene, the Oakshire Brewing Public House’s walls display intricate graphic designs. At the School of Journalism and Communication, students are writing about policy, resilience and art. The most outstanding connection between these events?

Science, of course.

As the climate crisis nears and more discoveries are being made, scientists are learning new ways to effectively communicate scientific information with each other and the public. Volcanologist Leif Karlstrom, seismologist Lucy Jones and local programs ArtSci and Science & Memory are making mesmerizing creations out of numbers and graphs.

Leif Karlstrom - Volcano Violinist According to Leif Karlstrom, a volcanology professor at UO, the two worlds of art and science don’t seem very compatible on the surface level but are actually intertwined at the core.

“There’s really no reason for science and music to overlap,” Karlstrom said. “The communities are very, very different and often don’t really appreciate each other. The framework is different, but the mentality is the same.”

Karlstrom has been studying volcanoes and playing violin since the beginning of his whole professional career in 2006. He has often compared his love of science and the creation of music with living two lives.

But Karlstrom has drawn a line between the two

disciplines despite their seemingly drastic difference through a new endeavor called “The Volcano Listening Project,” which combines the rumbles of volances and the vibrations of the strings. The project took data from erupting volcanoes and put sound to them, which was then constructed into music.

“There’s two goals with this,” he said. “One is to get people engaged with volcanic data and science in a new and unexpected way, and the other is to make music.”

Man-made carbon emissions in conjunction with volcanic eruptions cause chemical reactions that harm the ozone layer at increased rates, according to NASA. Keeping track of volcanic data and noting their impacts on the environment could give scientists insight on possible solutions. Projecting this kind of scientific information to the world, like the impacts of volcanoes on the ozone layer, requires scientists to engage with a broad spectrum of people, Karlstrom said.

“Part of my job, as a professor and as a professional scientist, is interfacing with the public,” Karlstrom said. “There’s this attitude of being ‘explained’ or ‘talked at’ with data, so making the research that we do accessible and presenting it in different ways is very valuable.”

Music has the power to enhance memory and ignite emotions in people across the world, according to Inside Science. Weaving the topic of climate change into music has the potential to create more empathy and resignation with those who choose to listen.

Dr. Lucy Jones - Heating Harmony Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist from Pasadena,

California, has also worked to increase awareness of science through her music.

After creating the nationwide “Drop, Cover, and Hold” earthquake drill, publishing a book titled ‘The Big Ones’ and researching earthquakes for decades, Jones exchanged her successful career in seismology for creating awareness about climate change and natural disasters — through song.

Dr. Jones’ piece, “In Nomine Terra Calens” (In the Name of a Warming Earth), is based on the change of the average global temperature. The pitch of the song increases each time the Earth’s average temperature increased by 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 1800s.

According to NASA Earth Observatory, the temperature globally has risen 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit cumulatively from 1880-2017.

“Understanding the science of climate change doesn’t get you to action — partly because it’s so frightening. We have emotional barriers to really comprehending what we’re doing,” Jones said. “What I want to do is use music to help people process those emotions to climate change so we can move past the denial and get into action.”

She and many others performed science-inspired music at the Oct. 29 exhibit of “How the Arts are Addressing Climate Change” event at the UO William Knight Law Center.

Jones said that there needs to be a greater connection between scientists and the public in order to create real change moving forward.

“We are going to be suffering from a lot more natural disasters, because every ecosystem in the world is now experiencing a different climate than originally called for,” Jones said. “It does not require

a degree in atmospheric science to be able to figure that out. Yet, we aren’t saying it clear enough.

Scientists can find simpler ways to say things without oversimplification.”

ArtSci - Seeing Statistics In contrast to musical communication, the new Eugene program “ArtSci,” shows data through visual art.

Three researchers from UO teamed up to create a new local program with the intent of celebrating scientific research through various kinds of art. A gallery on ArtSci’s website includes visually striking images of space, neurons and chemical dyes.

Rather than accessing it online, the pieces are displayed around some of Eugene’s popular locations. Their first display, titled “Research as Art,” was shown at the Oakshire Brewing Public House.

“The images are not manufactured purely for artistic enjoyment but instead help to visually communicate the actual scientific data we use to learn about the world every day,” Martin said. “Each one tells us a secret about the world we didn’t know before.”

The art isn’t just inspired by science but is actually a representation of real data that local scientists in the community produce daily. ArtSci has received an abundance of support from both scientists and the general public; upwards of a hundred locals filled Oakshire Brewery in support for the grand opening of the gallery.

The images for the previous exhibit were images taken during research, Martin said. The data is visually captured through microscopes and

telescopes to show the actual evidence of findings from local scientists.

Martin said the program is less about creating a connection between art and science, but rather “accentuating a bond that already exists.” Science, to Martin, is already interesting and doesn’t require any kind of beautification.

Science & Memory — Climate Collaboration Tucked inside Allen Hall is a group of students capturing the essence of environmental adaptation through students skilled in photography, videography, art and the written word.

The program, called “Science & Memory,” has been focused on reshaping environmental journalism in Eugene, Alaska, Ghana and its latest addition, Hawaii, for the past eight years. Each excursion is dedicated to experiential learning through direct contact with scientists and time out in the field.

Patty Karafotias, a UO junior who went on the most recent trip to Alaska, said that she believes art is key to unlocking interest to science.

“Sure, trend lines on a graph provide a great deal of information about our climate, but those figures only stick with a handful of people,” Karafotias said. “Telling stories rooted in art allows for a more profound science narrative.”

After collecting stories from the area, the team then returns to UO to create a collection of stories for the public to see. Their work won an honorable mention in the international Fast Company WorldChanging Ideas competition in 2019, made the short list for the One Show in New York City, received UO’s first Hearst award for Multimedia and has been

presented in the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Their latest project was a collaboration of all kinds of journalism. Kristin Kessler, another UO student that went on the trip, said that highlighting the pressing issue of climate change with several kinds of mediums would yield more people willing to listen.

“We need to make room in our society’s discussion about climate change for stories told in ways that are different from our American status-quo,” Kessler said. “Some people will never be moved by an article in a newspaper, but one visual demonstration may change that person’s entire perspective.”

Science is often viewed as graphs, numbers, beakers and lectures through social media, according to the Pew Research Center. However, these four groups are working to show the world that science and climate change don’t have to be that simplistic.

Leif Karlstrom said he creates music from volcanoes to show science in an engaging way, while Lucy Jones said that she plays the viola to display the seriousness of climate change to people globally.

ArtSci, according to Anne Martin, was designed to create a community around science, and to celebrate the beauty within it, while Science & Memory is a program dedicated to telling complex stories of adaptation to the climate and environmental change, according to their website.

Editor’s note: Anna Mattson, the reporter who wrote this story, and Bryce Dole, another member of the Daily Emerald staff, participated in the Science & Memory SOJC program mentioned in this story.

STRIVE FOR A PERSONAL STANDARD OF SUCCESS

BY CAMRYN PRIVETTE Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s definition of success includes “the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence.” Everyone wants to be successful in some way, but have we placed too much of an emphasis on the attainment of wealth and forgotten the other small but relevant definitions of success?

As a society, we have compiled a pop-culture definition of success. It goes something like graduating from a prestigious college, landing a highpaying job and maybe getting married and having children — all while maintaining emotional and mental stability. Say you achieve all these things and become the American Dream poster child for success: Now what?

A personal standard of success is important, and often forgotten in a society that values material possessions and the image of an ideal life.

Jayson DeMers, founder and CEO of internet marketing company AudienceBloom, says that “achieving these goals often leaves people without the feeling of success they thought they’d have.”

DeMers says that “understanding what really satisfies you is the key to building and pursuing goals that truly matter, and grounding your temporary setbacks with context and understanding.”

We’ve forgotten to place an emphasis on these little pieces of success that we achieve every day.

Instead of striving to be successful, strive to have grit and be excellent in what you do. Angela Lee Duckworth, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, gave a TED talk on how to hypothetically predict and measure grit in young children based on personality questionnaires. After analyzing data over the years, she found that the

children whose questionnaires reflected a strong work ethic had the highest grit scores.

Grit can be defined as working towards something no matter how difficult it is. Society’s definition of success could change if we shifted our perspective to having grit and calling these efforts success.

Achieving a personal standard of excellence and getting up when you fail should be our idea of success. Better yet, redefine success as a means to gain joy or meet your own personal goals. Giving in and rewarding yourself for the little things can make all the difference.

So the real question to ask yourself now is: Is your definition of success constructed by your career and salary, or is it about that feeling you get when you go to sleep at night knowing that you had challenges and persevered anyways?

WITH MARCUS MARIOTA IN THE BUILDING,

OREGON CLINCHES ITS FIRST PAC-12 NORTH TITLE SINCE 2014

BY BRADY LIM • TWITTER @BRADYLIM619 The shadows of 2014 were everywhere on Saturday night at Autzen Stadium.

For the first time since that season, the Ducks ran out of the tunnel ranked in the top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings. They did so hosting Arizona, who, on Oct. 2, 2014, gave No. 2 Oregon its first loss in one of the most stunning upsets of that college football season. The guy who won the Heisman Trophy that year was the quarterback of that Ducks team, and he was in the building on Saturday night.

Oh, and the Ducks clinched a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game for the first time since 2014 when they beat … Arizona.

“It’s something that we recognize,” head coach Mario Cristobal said of the Pac-12 North title. “You have to. We know where we were three years ago upon arrival, this great opportunity and privilege we’ve had.”

In the 2014 loss, the Ducks didn’t score a single point in the first quarter. On Saturday night, Justin Herbert found Johnny Johnson III for a 73-yard touchdown before many fans had even found their seats.

From there, No. 6 Oregon (9-1, 7-0 Pac-12) was off to the races in a 34-6 rout of Arizona (4-6, 2-5 Pac-12).

“It got us started,” Herbert said. “Johnny’s done such a great job these past couple weeks. I was really happy for him to have the day that he did.”

After that play, the Ducks extended their lead to 14 with a 13-play, 76-yard drive that was capped by Cyrus Habibi-Likio’s seventh touchdown of the season.

Then came the second big aerial strike of the night.

Herbert handed the ball off to CJ Verdell, who then tossed it to Jaylon Redd on what appeared to be a reverse. Redd then tossed it back to Herbert, who proceeded to unload a 53-yard touchdown pass to Juwan Johnson bolting down the left sideline.

“That was the first one,” Johnson said when asked how many flea-flickers he’d been a part of in his football career. “But it was fun. When the play was called, I was like, ‘You sure this is what it is?’ But I’m just doing what I’m doing. … Herbie put it out there, and I just made the catch.”

Head coach Mario Cristobal appreciated it, too.

“I’m glad the old school in here could

appreciate the old-school flea flicker,” he said. “It doesn’t show up that much anymore in football. But it looked good. It looked good when we practiced it. … We thought we could capture the eyes of the secondary.”

That touchdown put the Ducks up by three scores, and the defense took the reins the rest of the way.

It wasn’t the trick play that drew the loudest applause of the night, however, and it wasn’t the 73-yard touchdown on the game’s second play, either. It was when 2014 Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota was announced, back in Autzen Stadium to watch a top-10 Ducks team for the first time.

“I can always tell when he’s in town because it’s the loudest the crowd ever gets,” Cristobal said. “By far. More than any touchdown, any sack. When the crowd goes nuts, I know he’s there.”

But having one of the most memorable players in Ducks history back on the sidelines was worth more than just a loud applause. It’s a signal of the ascension of the program since the pinnacle that was the 2014 Playoff season.

“I think that’s the best thing that we can have happen for the program,” Cristobal said of having Oregon alumni back at Autzen Stadium. “There is nothing — I mean nothing — like being a player and seeing not only all the greats, but seeing just family members.

Former Oregon Ducks coming back and being around the program.”

And Mariota witnessed the Ducks clinch the Pac-12 North for the first time since he was running the show.

His Ducks blew out No. 7 Arizona 51-13 in the 2014 Pac-12 title game to secure a spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff. The 2019 Ducks now have a chance to do so for the first time since then.

“It’s an amazing accomplishment,” Herbert said. “It’s a sign of how far we’ve come.”
