verything you need to know

Congressman Peter DeFazio discussed a proposal to invest $760 billion into infrastructure over a five-year period at the University of Oregon Ford Alumni Center ballroom last Wednesday.

DeFazio, who chairs the congressional committee leading that proposal, was joined by a panel of community leaders including Eugene and Springfield mayors, Lucy Vinis and Christine Lundberg, respectively, as well as University of Oregon Provost Patrick Phillips and UO professors who research the architecture and policy surrounding urban and environmental planning.

The “Moving Forward” framework is a very ambitious proposal, DeFazio said, that was revealed on Jan. 29, with nearly half of the funds going to modern highway and highway safety investments.

The other half of the $760 billion is spread between investments in rail, transit, water treatment, clean energy and communications.

“It’s very complex, and we are still taking input from people,” DeFazio said. “We’ve held 20 hearings on the subject around the country, traveling around the country,

but we are still taking feedback and input because nothing is set in concrete or asphalt or whatever.”

DeFazio visited UO to do just that: get feedback from community leaders about what parts of this spending proposal would be most impactful. Members of the Oregon Department of Transportation, Lane Transit District, Amtrak and the Port of Coos Bay were also a part of the forum to add to the conversation the ways in which this federal funding would affect their industries.

UO architecture professor Nico Larco also introduced DeFazio after Phillips did.

Larco is the director of Urbanism Next, a research center that focuses on advances in technology that affect urban centers.

Urbanism Next has helped inform some of DeFazio’s ideas surrounding building infrastructure to better accommodate the use of electric cars. The framework includes certain pieces that would directly fund the construction of more charging stations and roads that better suit electric trucks and personal vehicles, according to DeFazio.

“Part of this transportation plan is to

put together a national clearing house on the impacts on autonomous vehicles and new mobility,” Larco said. “The U of O is uniquely positioned to do a lot of this work, and great thanks to Chairman DeFazio.”

While UO doesn’t have an engineering program, it was a recipient of some earmarked funds coming from a transportation bill passed in 2006 to create a grouping of schools that would address problems within the transportation industry, according to DeFazio. The official name of the program that gives money to these universities is the National Institute for Transportation and Communities — it includes Portland State University, UO, Oregon Institute of Technology, The University of Arizona, University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Utah.

NITC’s goal is to research the growing need for accessible transportation and the effects of mass transportation on the climate. These universities are “yielding tremendous benefits,” DeFazio said. In 2018, NITC funded four research projects being conducted by UO professors, according to a 2019 progress report.

TFAB CONSIDERS RAISING VARIOUS STUDENT FEES

BY RYAN NGUYEN• TWITTER @RYANJJNGUYEN The Lillis Business Complex is home of the Lundquist College of Business. (Justin Hartney/Emerald)

Aside from tuition increases, University of Oregon students may see even more fees on their school bills next year.

The University of Oregon Tuition and Fee Advisory Board has taken proposals from various university departments for changes to fees, several of which it suggests raising.

The 18-member tuition board, which comprises administrators, faculty and students, is in charge of reviewing the university’s finances and writing up a formal recommendation to UO President Michael Schill on whether to increase tuition and fees, which it released last Thursday.

Right now, a UO student taking 16 credits pays $760 a term in fees, according to the Office of the Registrar website, and the proposals the board advanced to the president would, if all approved, raise that figure by about an extra $20 per term. Those in the honors college, business or law school would see additional increases.

The board recommended that

current students receive annual 3% tuition increases for the next four years, instead of varied increases from year to year as in the past. The plan also means that fees would increase on the same scale for current students.

Those wishing to comment can send in comments on the recommendation for a guaranteed tuition model via an online submission form until 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28.

increase of almost $11 dollars to per term fees for the UO Student Recreation Center.

The student body pays two mandatory fees to the Rec Center each term. The first is a general fee of $64.50, and the second is a fee that pays off the debt and interest from when the university constructed an addition to the Rec. The fee began in 2012 at $22 per term.

EMU

Lundquist College of Business

Your $70 per term fee for the EMU may increase by $7. TFAB members recommended increasing these fees so the EMU can pay for its deficit from renovations without using up funds from reserves, the memo states.

Students will need to pay for this fee for the coming decades, according to previous Emerald reporting.

Undergraduates enrolled in business classes would see a $5 increase to the differential tuition they pay, or a potential $25 fee per credit hour.

The business school instituted the fee in 2018 to fund services and pay for faculty, according to Emerald reporting from 2018.

The Rec Center The board recommended an

Robert D. Clark Honors College The board is recommending a 3% increase to the differential tuition for

the honors college, bringing the total amount to $927. Continuing honors college students would see 3% annual increases in differential tuition for four years. Incoming students would see a 10.75% increase, to $996.75 — but this rate is guaranteed not to change for those students for five years, the memo states.

UO School of Law The law school requested a 7% tuition increase for students in its Juris Doctorate program, a 5% increase for students in the Master of Laws program and a 3.5% increase for those in its Conflict and Dispute Resolution master’s program.

The board recommended not increasing the international student support fee, the mandatory building, health center and technology fees.

The UO board of trustees will vote on the proposal from Schill and the tuition board in March, according to the tuition board website.

The University of Oregon campus was buzzing last Thursday after the Oregon Liquor Control Commission voted not to renew the liquor license for Taylor’s Bar and Grill.

OLCC made the decision after over 42 complaints were filed between 2017 and 2019 against Taylor’s for misconduct on its premises, which included rape, assault, disorderly conduct, druggings and theft, OLCC spokesperson Matthew Van Sickle told the Emerald.

Soon after the news broke, the Emerald asked students for their reaction.

LIVING ‘IN-BETWEEN’:

A DRAG CLOWN COMES TO CAMPUS

BY SARAH-MAE MCCULLOUGH

“I LIVED A SMALL TOWN LIFE, SO I UNDERSTAND THIS SENSE OF WANTING TO NOT BE SEEN. WHEN I’M NOT IN DRAG, I’M JUST KIND OF CAMOUFLAGE.” ANTHONY HUDSON aka Carla Rossi Carla Rossi takes an interactive approach to her workshop, encouraging a conversation rather than a lecture. (Maddie Knight/Emerald)

Anthony Hudson first created Carla Rossi, their drag character, in 2010. Dressed outlandishly, donning clown make up and full of panache, Carla started as an art project. Over time, the persona evolved into a full body of work and career for Huson, now recognized as Portland’s premier drag clown.

“Over the last decade, Carla has become a tool for me to talk about the edge,” Hudson, who uses they/them/their pronouns, said last Thursday at a lecture at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, “about being mixed race and queer and living between race and gender, if you like to think of it as something you can be between.”

Hudson considers Carla a drag clown rather than a drag queen because they aren’t aiming to emulate women. Rather, Carla is about mixing the characteristics we use to signal gender — like clothing, body shape or speech patterns — and revealing gender as something constructed that we all perform.

On Feb. 19, Hudson presented “Drag Workshop for Ducks” at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, where they engaged the audience with questions about what drag is and where it came from. The following evening, Carla took over and presented a lecture titled “On Art, Camp, and Human Sacrifice.” Wearing fishnet stockings, a pencil skirt and a blonde wig originally designed for a Megyn Kelly impersonation, Carla purported to be an art expert and walked the audience through a farcical PowerPoint presentation.

Inept by design, the presentation poked fun at art theory with its slew of misspellings, fabricated PA G E 6

facts and technical blunders. Afterwards, Hudson stepped out of the Carla persona — peeling off the eyelash extensions, removing the wig and wiping off the clown make-up — and talked to the audience as Anthony, discussing their journey through the world of drag.

Hudson grew up in the small town of Keizer, Oregon. Along with some friends, they started the first Gay Straight Alliance at McNary High School, a move that wasn’t well-received by the community. Parents threatened to picket the group and Hudson became the target of house eggings and death threats. “I lived a small town life,” Hudson said, “so I understand this sense of wanting to not be seen. When I’m not in drag, I’m just kind of camouflage.”

After graduating from McNary, Hudson moved to Portland where they attended the Pacific Northwest College of Art and discovered drag parties as “a way to express a side of myself that was never otherwise activated.” Hudson named their character Carla and began performing at bars and cabarets around Portland.

In 2014, Hudson created their first full-length caberet feature of Carla, “Carla Rossi Sings the End of the World,” which drops Carla into Nazi Germany. The performance charts similarities between the United States and the fall of Weimar Republic. Accompanied

by Berlin theatre standards and dancing cabaret girls, it poses the question: Could that happen to us?

Hudson’s next artistic challenge was to step away from the sense of protection Carla provided and perform without the costume, opening up their own

life to the audience. They produced “Looking for Tiger Lily,” a solo show about growing up half-white, halfnative and queer that ushered in more recognition and opportunities to perform outside of bars and parties.

In the workshop, Hudson discussed how Native American tribes across North America have acknowledged gender variance and often honored these “people who can walk between genders and outside of genders” as medicine people or shamans.

The Navajos, for example, believed in five sexes, according to Hudson. Hudson also referenced “Sexing the Body,” a book by Anne Fausto-Sterling that builds a model of gender including five sexes based on intersexuality. “That belief goes back hundreds of thousands of years and then we have modern day science that is just catching up,” Hudson said.

To Hudson, this speaks to the idea that the gender binary only exists as a construct. “I like to do drag like this because I want people walking down the street seeing me like this to be as confused as I am about myself all the time,” they said. “I still don’t know where I lie. I still don’t know which box I fit into.”

Currently, Hudson continues to host their film series Queer Horror bimonthly at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland. Their new piece, “Up Her Ass: A Love Story,” is inspired by the radical feminist Valerie Solanas and will play on March 12 at Reed College in Portland. “Looking for Tiger Lily,” a play based off of Hudson’s earlier solo act by the same name, will run May 2-31 at Portland Center Stage.

COVER

THE JOYS — AND PITFALLS — OF AN INDEPENDENT THEATRE

BY CHRISTIAN CANCILLA

Bijou Art Cinemas, a former church from 1925, is now a movie theater in showing mostly indie dramas and documentaries in Eugene, Ore. (Maddie Knight/Emerald)

Before it became the Bijou Art Cinema, the ivory, California-mission-style building on E. 13th Avenue was known as a place of worship. Built in 1925, the First Congressional Church held the space until 1956, when the building was taken over by a mortuary. With a history of worship and death, the location seems to be an odd place for a movie theatre.

The building’s facade is deceptive and doesn’t let on to the nature of what’s inside. Other than a small banner with the theater’s name, the Bijou remains hidden in plain sight.

“You walk in here and there’s a courtyard, it’s serpentine and the hallway to the bathroom is really creepy. It’s just got a character to it that is unlike any theater I’ve ever been in,” said Connor O’Boyle, the Bijou’s manager. “Nothing’s ever quite been the Bijou.”

The theater has been delivering foreign and independent films to Eugene since its establishment in 1980 by Michael Lamont, a film lover who secured the unique venue as a permanent location after screening films around town and campus for the community.

The theater still serves that purpose after Lamont’s death in 2007. Julie Blonshteyn became a part-owner of the independent theater in 2013 after meeting with the owning partners of the Bijou and a subsequent short trial period. Originally from Brooklyn, Blonshteyn wasn’t working in film, but knew she wanted to.

Academy and finding the field too competitive and difficult to break into, she found a part-time opening at an independent theater near her home. Within two weeks, Blonshteyn was the manager.

Now, seven years later, she owns and operates the Bijou with a silent partner in New York.

“As soon as I walked in, I fell in love,” Blonshteyn said. “I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was.”

Ownership split But it wasn’t easy for Blonshteyn to become the operator of the Bijou.

Blonshteyn joined the theater on a trial basis to see how she and the other partners worked with one another. In March 2013, Blonshteyn acquired 25% of the Bijou for $134,000. It was a time of growth for the Bijou — along with running the Bijou, the four partners were also expanding another popular small theater downtown — the Broadway Metro.

The difficulty of running the Bijou profitably while working on the Metro led to increased tensions between the partners over how to run the business, which concluded in legal action being taken by Blonshteyn against the other partners in September 2015.

Blonshteyn alleged that the true financial state of the company was being misrepresented and the Bijou was bordering on insolvency. Blonshteyn said that the partners were taking out high interest loans to cover

expenses, and other loan payments, and requested that the court appoint a trustee to oversee the Bijou’s operations, according to court documents.

The court denied her complaint in October 2015 and said that it “does not believe that the concern rises to the level of demonstrating that the company is insolvent or in imminent danger of being insolvent,” adding that one loan would be paid off in December 2015 and that profitable months were ahead.

However, the court agreed that there was a substantial difference in how the partners believed the theater should be run. “And that is the rub. The parties disagree about how to run the business,” the court wrote in its judgement.

Now the two theaters are owned and operated separately.

A New Kind of Worship For the past 40 years, the Bijou has stood out among other local theatres for its choice of films, it’s unique architecture and its proximity to campus. The theatre has even done showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show. It’s been a place where film-lovers and community members can meet to share in their love for cinema. So it’s no surprise that Blonshteyn isn’t alone in her fondness of the theater.

“This place was home before I even started working here,” O’Boyle said. “I’d been going to movies as a

Hallways towards the entrance of the theater still resemble the original church scenery. (Maddie Knight/Emerald)

young adult once a week, and then seeing it in a church, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is my religion. I see a movie every Sunday or Saturday,’ and it just felt like home.”

O’Boyle, who’s worked at the Bijou for six years and been manager for the last four, says that after getting to know the staff, he was told of an opening and has been there ever since.

“We play content that’s challenging. You have an engaged audience that isn’t coming to zone out. The audience that shows up is there to talk to you or have an experience that is more profound than you would probably get at a megaplex,” O’Boyle said.

Securing films to screen is another difficulty for an independent theater like the Bijou.

With big companies acquiring smaller studios and established relationships between theater chains and major studios, the pickings are slim. The complicated task is handled by a booker for the theater that negotiates with the studios directly. But for Blonshteyn, the joys of running an independent theater outweigh the stress and concerns.

“Out of 10, I might get two of the films I want, if we’re lucky,” Blonshteyn said. “It’s so competitive. But our customers make this job great. I know a lot of our customers by name, I know their preferences for film and they educate me.”

With winters being the busy season, a lot rides on the success of that period to make up for the rest of the year being slow.

“This isn’t a business you get rich at,” Blonshteyn said.

“The goal is to break even.”

But for many of the Bijou’s staff, sharing the experience of film is rewarding.

Sarah Peterson has been a staff member for over two years. Like O’Boyle, Peterson was also a regular customer before working at the Bijou. She was a film major at UO and often saw films there for fun or for class requirements. Peterson jumped at the opportunity to work at the theater after graduation when she wasn’t ready to move away.

“I think it’s really cool that we have a culture here where we can talk to a customer about movies we’ve had, movies we haven’t had, movies from 20 years ago,” Peterson said. “We just are movie lovers that want to talk to other movie lovers.”

Peterson particularly loves the rainbow gradient painted on the pillars of the vaulted ceiling. “This building just adds so much,” she said.

Forty years after opening its doors, the Bijou is beloved by community members for its selection of films and staff. As Cindy and George Kokis headed in to see “Cunningham,” a documentary exploring the life of famed dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham, Cindy gleefully whipped a Bijou cup she bought years back out of her bag and reflected on their decades of attendance.

“We were here when they were converting it from the funeral parlor,” Cindy said. “This is a good place to watch the kind of films that we like.”

A rug labeled “chapel” still lies beneath what used to be the church chapel. (Maddie Knight/Emerald)

UO Alumni share career lessons they’ve learned

Teresa Hoffman,

Job Title: SVP Executive Recruiting Manager, City National Bank Major: Human Physiology Graduated: Bachelor of Science, 1982 After finishing her degree at the University of Oregon, Teresa Hoffman moved back home to sunny Southern California to further her career as a consultant with various executive firms such as KPMG and Heidrick & Struggles. She soon found an opportunity with Disney, becoming the Manager of Corporate Staffing before finally making her way to City National Bank in Los Angeles. As the Senior Vice President Executive Recruiting Manager, Teresa relies on teamwork, collaboration and relationship building to make sure her colleagues are well-versed and comfortable in their roles. Teresa also serves on the board of directors for the UO Alumni Association.

How does relationship building affect team collaborative effort?

Building a relationship is the key to anything that you do — whether it’s your personal life or your career. You have to build relationships with people in order to learn about them. It’s important to learn about their backgrounds, experiences and the things they are good at doing. Then you can truly understand what their strengths are. Once you have built that relationship, it provides you with trust.

If you tell your co-worker you need help with something like a project, and they say the same to you, then you end up becoming collaborative in your efforts and in your team.

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

The biggest thing students or new alums need to do, especially if they are going after the career they want, is to meet people. It is impossible to meet too many people.

Your network can never be too big. You can never learn too much. It can be daunting at first, but once you start doing it, it gets easier. Also, consider getting involved with groups like the UO Student Alumni Association or other affinity groups. These are networks you can get involved in right off the bat, and they are a great and easy place to start.

STOP USING YOUR ZODIAC SIGN TO JUSTIFY TREATING PEOPLE POORLY

BY ANDY STEVENS

I see a meme about zodiac signs at least once a day.

At first they just seemed like jokes about relatability, but as they have become increasingly common on social media, I have seen the content go from obnoxious to malicious. People use their star signs to justify treating each other poorly and then celebrate it on social media.

Many people place a lot of value on their astrological sign. For those unfamiliar, someone’s astrological sign represents the alignment of the moon and stars in the season when they were born. I am a Virgo because I was born between Aug. 23 and Sept. 22, which according to my horoscope, means I am loyal, analytical, kind, hardworking and practical.

It also means my weaknesses are shyness, worry and an all work and no play attitude. It is important to remember that these traits are entirely up to interpretation.

It is the interpretation of these traits that leads

people to make quick judgements or behave erratically. The problem is in the memes that normalize erratic behavior by claiming it has to do with a certain star sign.

There are plenty of memes that cast one entire astrological sign in a bad light. Most of them have something to do with interpersonal relationships and using a star sign as an excuse for being hostile or inconsiderate. I imagine there has been more than one relationship ruined by people’s interpretation of star signs.

The idea that the way I feel is the result of the stars and not my own poor decisions is very appealing to me. When I don’t feel like doing my homework I can just think about how my horoscope says today is supposed to be relaxing. Even though it is appealing, I understand that it is also unhealthy. It is easy to not feel responsible for your actions when you believe the stars are in control.

The issue arises when people allow their horoscope to impact their behavior in a negative way. For instance, a Virgo horoscope for Feb. 20 reads, “Your home could be a gloomy place today...

The only thing you can do under the circumstances is make sure everyone keeps busy until the absent one returns.” If someone were to believe this horoscope, it is understandable that it would negatively affect their behavior.

In contrast to people treating each other poorly because of their star sign, it is also possible to treat yourself poorly. Like in the horoscope mentioned above, sometimes star signs tell individuals they are going to have a bad day, or that someone is going to hurt them.

There are many social divisions in our society as is and zodiac signs are just another pointless way for people to judge each other and hurt themselves.

HOW ADDISON PATTERSON SALVAGED HIS SEASON AND HELPED THE DUCKS ESTABLISH AN IDENTITY

BY SHANE HOFFMANN • TWITTER @SHANE_HOFFMANN Leaving home isn’t easy. Reclassifying and leaving high school a year early and immediately being thrown into one of the premier basketball programs on the West Coast can prove even harder. But details like that often get overlooked, especially when you’re a top-50 recruit with a chance to play significant minutes for the Pac-12 favorites.

Nothing was handed to Milton, Ontario, Canada native Addison Patterson. He’s struggled this year, and he’ll be the first to admit it. But after a turbulent start to conference play, the freshman is finding his way, and for the Ducks, his emergence has come at the perfect time.

Patterson dominated Canadian competition before transferring to Bella Vista College Prep in Arizona for the 2018-19 season. He made a name for himself on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball (EYBL) circuit, shooting into every recruiting site’s top-50, landing as high as No. 26 in ESPN’s rankings.

“This kid’s special, really special,” CIA Bounce director Tony McIntyre told FloHoops during Patterson’s recruitment. “He’s not even scratching the surface of his upside...He sees things coming in slow motion, but he’s got some dog in him and he’s hungry. He’s a lot like a Jamal Murray, Dillon Brooks mix where he’s got a desire to be great and

he hates losing.”

In high school, Patterson oozed confidence.

Although not the most skilled, his balance and feel helped him become an elite slasher, who often finished ferociously above the rim. His style of play was characterized by intensity and emotion. He competed at high levels on both ends and wasn’t afraid to get in an opponent’s face.

Patterson looked primed to crack the rotation of an Oregon roster that had been torn apart and revamped in the off-season.

All went as planned through the season’s opening weeks, highlighted by a career-high 17 points against Boise State.

As conference timeseason rolled around, things began to deteriorate. The 6-foot-6 combo guard’s minutes became spottier and his confidence began to fade. He stopped attacking the rack, instead settling for out-of-rhythm threes, and his disruptive defensive plays turned into missed rotations and mental errors. He was afraid to make a mistake, often letting opponents dictate his pace of play.

The high-flying Patterson began to look like a shell of his former self as he watched fellow freshmen C.J. Walker and Chandler Lawson carve out consistent roles. Even the injury-plagued N’Faly Dante found valuable minutes in an already

stacked rotation.

Patterson had grasped success, only to see it slip through his fingers.

“Honestly it was hard when I first came here,” Patterson said. “[I was playing] a role [I wasn’t] used to.”

In the second half of Oregon’s comeback win over Colorado, the freshman reintroduced himself.

Patterson’s hustle plays on the defensive end and dazzling finishes at the rim were met with roars of approval from a raucous Matthew Knight Arena.

“When coach [Dana Altman] put me in late in the game I was just trying to bring energy,” he said.

And energy he brought.

“Six points felt like 30,” he said.

Patterson’s vital 12 minutes helped push Oregon over the brink, completing a comeback win over a conference-leading Buffs squad.

He was the most intense player on the court that night. It wasn’t just because of the big plays, but, rather, what they meant in terms of recapturing his once-lost success.

He wasn’t done, though. Patterson again earned his minutes, providing playmaking on both ends when the Utah Utes came to town three days later.

He played 17 minutes — the most time he’s seen since mid November — racking up 10 points, three assists, two rebounds and two blocks.

lacked a true identity. That changed this past week.

Unlike last year’s team, which preferred to muck the game up with theirits jumbo lineups and rim protection, the 2020 Ducks are at their best when they play fast. Their full-court press has become a weapon, wreaking havoc on teams night in and night out, and the abundance of forced turnovers has led to run-outs and easy buckets for the Ducks.

They lack a true post presence given the plethora of injuries and inconsistencies from Francis Okoro, Dante, Lawson and Shakur Juiston.

The Ducks are able to maximize their potential when they play four guards, rotating between Richardson, Anthony Mathis, Payton Pritchard, Chris Duarte and now Patterson.

“It just gives us a different look,” Richardson said of the smaller, guard-heavy lineup. “[It] finds some mismatches when we get stale on offense, gets us going.”

Patterson’s emergence has enabled Altman to truly unlock his team, who again look poised for a late-season run.

Patterson has revitalized his season and helped make the Ducks more versatile along the way as they’ve retaken the Pac-12. The freshman is learning his family, coaches and teammates always have his back, and most of all, to embrace Altman’s longtime slogan: “Aalways Uus”.

MEN’S

“He’s been working hard,” Patterson’s fellow guard and roommate Will Richardson, said. “He’s been staying late every day in the gym.”

When Patterson came to Eugene, he knew he would have to compete.

It’s hard to earn a role on any team as a freshman, much less under Coach Altman on a potential Pac-12 champion. But when the days get shorter and the grind of the season begins to take its toll, it’s not easy to keep pushing. Sometimes, you need a boost. A few weeks ago, Patterson got one when his father, Rod, and mother, Jackie, came to town. “[His parents] told him he was just going to have to [work harder] and he’s put more time in,” Altman said.

Sometimes a familiar face or two is all you need. A piece of home.

“Everybody on the team is working,” Patterson said. “You have to do extra to separate yourself.”

In recent years, Altman’s teams hit their stride in mid-February. With the overwhelming roster turnover that the past few years have brought, the coaching staff and players have been forced to adapt on the fly. Last year’s squad won 10 straight games on the back of a large, defensive-minded lineup before losing to the eventual National Championss Virginia in the Sweet 16.

While the 2020 Ducks have had a much more successful year thus far than their 2019 counterparts, they’ve
