HEALTH CENTER TO FULLY OPEN IN APRIL

BY CARRINGTON POWELL • TWITTER @CARINGTONPOWELL The fences surrounding the sidewalk on the north side of the University Health Center are down, meaning that construction on its expansion is finally complete. In April, the original, renovated center will be fully open to students.

Debra Beck, executive director of the Health Center, said the old provider care areas were moved into the new addition so that the existing structure could be repurposed. The new structure is three stories tall and 22,000 square feet and sits right across from Oregon Hall, according to the Health Center website. From the entrance, large glass windows show the interior of the new expanded lobby and pharmacy area.

Beck said it also adds two additional clinical areas to its original four. These rooms house the physical therapy, dental and counseling centers. These services opened in October 2019, though the center worked to keep services open even during

construction.

Beck said the renovations will help the Health Center accommodate the needs of students.

“I think it was pretty obvious that the building itself was not meeting the demands of the students,” Beck said. “There just wasn’t enough space. And I believe that’s what made the decision to take a look at whether this is what students wanted and needed for the university health center.”

The renovation of the existing Health Center is ongoing and will be completed in April. That space is being allocated for exam rooms and offices for walk-ins.

The UO Health website also states that the renovations include new space for immunization, travel and STI clinics.

Though there is no accurate way to track the exact number of patients the new facilities will benefit, it will allow a greater capacity of students to be seen on the same

day they schedule an appointment, Beck said.

The total cost of the nearly-two-year project will be around $20 million, said Michael Griffel, director of university housing.

The walk-in area on the first floor of the Health Center is the only area left to be renovated, which previously housed the nurse specialty clinic, Beck said.

The Health Center was previously remodeled in 2007 for $10 million, according to a previous Daily Emerald article. It added 10,000 square feet of new offices and clinics.

“I think we’re set for a few years, but I don’t think a medical center can ever have enough space,” Beck said. “I think you can keep growing and keep meeting more demand but I think it’s fair to say that when they designed this building they did it in the fashion to accommodate the growth of this university for quite some time.”

REVIEW: POSTHUMOUS ALBUM ‘CIRCLES’

RELEASED OVER A YEAR AFTER MAC MILLER’S DEATH Vince Staples’ show concludes with a video tribute to the rapper Mac Miller, who passed away from a drug overdose in September 2018. (Sarah Northrop/Emerald)

BY FRANKIE KERNER

On Friday, late artist Mac Miller released a posthumous album, “Circles,” his sixth studio project.

Mac Miller became a household name in 2018. His career was on a steady climb, gaining more popularity with the release of each album — “Blue Slide Park,” “GO:OD AM,” “The Divine Feminine,” and of course, “Swimming” are some of the albums that made him a staple in the hip-hop world.

However, Miller passed away shortly after the release of “Swimming” in September 2018 due to a drug overdose.

“Swimming” and “Circles” were meant to be in conjunction with each other, based on the phrase “swimming in circles.” The former album was about Miller overcoming his problems in life — depression and addiction specifically. The two PA G E 4

albums in conversation with each other show growth and maturity, demonstrating that he was still struggling but things were looking forward.

Miller garnered respect from the hip-hop community throughout his career, working with artists like Anderson .Paak and Thundercat.

Over time, his lyrics and musical content matured with him as he got older. His first few albums and mixtapes were packed with songs about partying, smoking weed and making money. While the songs were fun and easy to dance to, his style became more sophisticated over time as he entered his mid-20s.

With “Circles,” the 12-song, 48-minute project, we see an even more introspective Mac Miller. It seems like the perfect album to close out on. Certain tracks and themes

on the album seem especially sentimental, even eerie at times.

The title track is also the first song on the album. “Circles” opens up with a light guitar, a mellow instrumental plays throughout the whole track. There is no beat drop, no drums, just a quiet melody with Miller’s raspy voice slowly singing over it. The song is about stepping back and looking at his life, not really knowing where it’s going or what’s next. “Stumblin’ around, you’ve been guessing your direction / Next step, you can’t see at all,” he sings. The concept of circles on the song and album come up as a common theme of life being cyclical and not knowing how to break certain cycles.

The last lyric on “Swimming” from the song “So It Goes” reads “Just like a circle / I go back where I’m from.” This theme was intentional

and the albums were meant to be in conversation with each other.

Musically, “Circles” is packed with a variety of songs, each one featuring a different style. The song “Blue World” has a chopped-up instrumental with a beat overlayed.

Miller raps and sings on this track with retrospective lyrics. “It’s a blue world without you /It’s a blue world alone,” he reminisces. Listeners will likely assume that this song is about his relationship with singer Ariana Grande from 2016 to 2018.

This album is different than what early Mac Miller fans might expect — it’s slow, soft and introspective. It doesn’t come off as a rap album at all. But the project shows growth both personally and artistically, providing a vulnerable, in-depth look at the mind of the beloved artist.

COVER

CYNTHIA AGUILAR-ARIZMENDI

BY BRUNO CROLLA • TWITTER @BCROLLATWEETS

Since day one, Aguilar wanted to work in the student government on campus. Starting as an intern, she rose through the ranks of ASUO to eventually become the head of the Athletics and Contracts Financial Committee.

(D L Young/Emerald)

Being defined by one thing can be constricting for some and a source of pride for others. In Cynthia Aguilar-Arizmendi’s case, both sides of the sentiment are true. Aguilar is a fourth-year student at the University of Oregon studying public relations and political science and participating in many different community-based clubs around campus, as well as identifying with different communities.

“I’m a really strong believer that we have the power to change the world, and I think that words have the ability to unite people the same way it has the ability to start wars and start fights,” Aguilar said. “I’ve grown up in places where I can see the injustices in this world and I can see the inequalities that exist in that realm. I want to change that.”

The road to and through college has not been an easy one for Aguilar. She experienced much of what any typical student struggles through in their time at school; however, her ambitions and obligations kept her grounded.

Since her first day on campus, Aguilar said she wanted to work in the student government on campus. Starting as an intern, she rose through the ranks of ASUO to eventually become the head of the Athletics and Contracts Financial Committee.

Aguilar has also worked within MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx Aztlan) and its sister organization, Mujeres, helping marginalized communities that MEChA advocates for — including the Latinx community that she identifies with — through activism and advocacy. Her skills in leadership landed her an internship in Senator Ron Wyden’s office.

While she has been living in Oregon for the past 17 years, Aguilar was born in Acapulco, Mexico. While Aguilar was raised in the United States, every two years she reapplies for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA. Aguilar refers to her status as being ‘DACAmented’.

“Being ‘dacamented’ has been both a blessing and a curse,” Aguilar said. “It has held me back in terms of PA G E 6

not being able to actively participate in the electoral process, qualifying for government programs and even being able to travel outside of the country.”

Despite this, Aguilar says that she is privileged to be able to even enroll in such a program. Acknowledging the limitations of DACA, she says it has been the reason that she has been able to do everything that she has done so far.

Applying to College Four years ago, Aguilar was getting ready to become the first member of her family to attend college. The task of applying was her first hurdle in the long and winding road that is putting oneself through school. Since she had spent 17 years of her life in Oregon, it was a fairly simple choice to stay nearby for both the benefit of seeing her family and in-state tuition.

“I get the question a lot, ‘Why did you choose the University of Oregon?’ I always give some sort of answer, ‘oh the greenery,’ or ‘the trees,’ or ‘it reminds me of home,’ but in reality, the reason I chose the university was because their process of admission for people in my circumstance was so much easier than other schools I was applying to,” Aguilar said.

Aguilar claims that Oregon State University in Corvallis said it would charge her international student rates if she had attended school there. The only fix for the issue, she said, was to prove that she intended on applying for citizenship.

“When applying for the Tuition Equity benefit, the student has the option to include a copy of their application to register with a federal immigration program or federal deportation program, or indicate that they plan to seek U.S. citizenship in the future as permitted under law,” Erin Rau, Oregon State University’s associate director of operations said.

However, the Tuition Equity benefit still directs that potential students indicate that they are planning on becoming citizens, an option that is not readily

available for DACA recipients.

“I remember them being so difficult about it and telling me I had to provide proof that I planned on applying for citizenship in the future. I told them I couldn’t do that because of the program that I am in. Every two years, I am renewing it. There is no pathway to citizenship,” Aguilar said.

The story was different when the time came to apply for UO. Aguilar found that once she was accepted, they had every intention of charging instate tuition without scrutinizing her status.

Working in Student Government (ASUO) After moving into the dorms on campus, Aguilar started her search for a place to gain the needed experience to advocate for others. On that first day, she landed in the ASUO office within the EMU. She started out working as an intern there.

“She participated in every meeting. It was clear that she was listening and engaged. She even took notes,” Becky Girvan, the director of ASUO said of Aguilar.

Girvan recalled Aguilar’s earlier days working on the EMU board within ASUO and seeing something extraordinary about her drive and passion.

“These things stand out to me,” Girvan said.

“Everyone engages in a different way. When I see an officer come in and take notes on every conversation that is happening, that stands out as a certain kind of leader.”

In her final year at UO, Aguilar is working as the chairperson of the ACFC for the second year in a row. She helps fund contracts that allow students to use the LTD transportation system for free, access student advocacy programs and get free student tickets for athletic events.

MEChA de UO, Mujeres, and Community Activism For the past four years, Aguilar has gained valuable experience and mentorship in every part of her

working in her capacity within MEChA de UO,” Iboa said. “The first time I worked with her was when I consulted with the MEChA de UO about organizing a rally against the Lane County sheriff, who was allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in the back of the jail.”

Iboa spoke to the many times Aguilar stepped up to the plate when it came to community activism. He recalled an instance when he was approached by Planned Parenthood in their attempt to find speakers for their reproductive rights rally that took place in Eugene on May 21, 2019.

Iboa decided the best course was to pass on the offer to Aguilar, who accepted the opportunity.

Aguilar went on to write her own speech and present it in front of hundreds of activists during the rally.

“Cynthia is very thoughtful and persistent. She always asks the right questions,” Iboa said. “She’s someone who, when you call her and ask her, is ready to go. Her willingness and expertise is something else.”

Aguilar hopes to continue to inspire individuals and change people’s perspectives with her words.

“I live my days knowing that everything that I have worked for can be taken from me,” Aguilar said. “and that is both a great and scary feeling.”

college career. One group that Aguilar has done extensive work with is MEChA de Oregon and its sister organization, Mujeres.

MEChA is a student organization on campus that promotes higher education, culture and history for indigenous and oppressed communities, though all are welcome to join MEChA, according to their website.

In Aguilar’s own words, MEChA has had a history of “machismo” or toxic masculinity. In an attempt to break away from that environment, women within MEChA created the branch known as Mujeres.

Mujeres is more focused on the female perspective on the same issues MEChA addresses. Mujeres was established in 1995 with the purpose of empowering Chicanas within MEChA and those that belong to other women’s groups of color according to their website.

Aguilar took a commanding position as the recruitment and retention board member within MEChA. Alongside her role in MEChA, she has advocated for Mujeres to become a larger, more independent group.

Joel Iboa, coalition manager for immigrant rights organization Causa Oregon and advisor to MEChA de UO has collaborated with Aguilar on many different projects and commented on her commitment to being a steadfast community advocate.

OPINION

ADVANTAGES OF HAVING

A PET IN COLLEGE

BY BAZIL STERLING

It’s difficult to leave a beloved pet behind when you head off to college.

Pet ownership, especially for a college student, is no simple task. Dogs, cats and other pets require a substantial amount of effort, a responsible owner with structured free time and spare cash.

This criteria presents several obstacles for prospective pet owners, but it is still doable. With the right research and planning owning a pet can be an overwhelmingly positive addition to one’s college experience.

Because larger pets like dogs or cats may be too much to handle for certain owners, other non-human companions like reptiles, fish or other small creatures can be the perfect stress reliever for homesick or overwhelmed students.

Pet therapy is proven to help its patients, and one of its key benefits is stress management. Personally, interacting with either my own pet or a stranger’s gives me feelings of joy and relief that alternative coping mechanisms fail to match. College can be

one of the most stressful times of young adults’ lives, and adopting a pet can help reduce anxiety, whether it sleeps in a glass tank or on your bed.

This is the first year of my life without a pet, as my spastic black lab and absurdly-old beta fish died in the past few months. The closest thing I currently have to an non-human partner is Spookly, the pet pumpkin cared for by my roommates and me since late September.

While I cannot say a bad word about good old Spookly, he does not exactly meet my standards for a stress-relieving pet. I am now in the market for a new companion that is easy to care for. My finances are limited, so a new aquatic friend seems to be my most plausible option. The Duck Nest of the University of Oregon Health Center provides therapy dogs for students, a perk I plan to take advantage of in the near future.

Additionally, people registering pets as emotional support animals has grown in popularity in recent years. To apply for an ESA, one must be evaluated

Rajah, a short-leg golden retriever/lab mix, moved to Eugene five years ago with his owner, Rich Toledo, from Chicago. (Phillip Quinn/ Emerald)

by a licensed mental health professional, who then has to recommend that an ESA will help with one’s day-to-day life. This can help those looking to cope with mental health issues to keep a pet in housing areas that otherwise do not allow animals. The Fair Housing Act prevents landlords/homeowners from charging extra for an ESA. Emotional support, therapy, comfort or companion animals are not considered to be service animals by the UO. Overall, student pet ownership, if done responsibly, yields significant benefits that outweigh its consequences. Those interested in keeping a pet while in college should conduct research beforehand and truly consider if they are up to the task.

Luvable Dog Rescue and the Greenhill Humane Society are two premier adoption centers in the Eugene area for those interested in adopting a college companion.

IONESCU BECOMES OREGON’S ALL-TIME LEADING SCORER IN CAREER-HIGH PERFORMANCE AGAINST STANFORD

The Ducks took the court on Thursday out for blood, Cardinal blood. Oregon was looking for redemption after it lost the Pac-12 Tournament title game to Stanford, 64-57, in March of 2019, the last meeting between the two teams.

What was looking to be a close game between No. 6 Oregon and No. 3 Stanford shaped up to be a blowout.

Senior Sabrina Ionescu stole the show with a career-high 37 points, along with seven assists and 11 rebounds, becoming Oregon’s all-time leading scorer. Her 37 points were the most by any NCAA women’s basketball player this season against a ranked team.

Ionescu broke the record, previously held by Alison Lang, with a 2-point jumper sending the 12,218 attendees in Matthew Knight Arena into a frenzy. When asked about what she felt in that moment, she said, “Nothing. I didn’t know that I was the one to beat it, I just saw the shot was open and took it.”

The Walnut Creek, California, native was the first player in NCAA women’s basketball history to reach more than 2,000 career points, 1,000 career assists and 1,000 career rebounds.

As her list of achievements grows, Ionescu remains humble.

“Honoring and humbling, to be able to be at the top,” Ionescu said. “I’m happy to be able to do this with my team, I’m happy that we won tonight. I think we have bigger plans and bigger goals, so I’m not really focused on any one particular achievement that I’ve done, but I think later on in life I’ll take a step back and really appreciate that, but right now I think I’m just focused on too many things.”

Head coach Kelly Graves attributed Oregon’s success on Thursday to Ionescu’s spectacular performance.

“When her best is needed, that’s usually when she steps up,” Graves said. “It starts with Sabrina. She was really magical tonight.”

Both Oregon and Stanford started this season with high expectations — with both being ranked in the AP preseason top 10 — so the competition on the court was intense.

“I’m just happy that we won, but they are the standard of excellence,” said Ionescu on playing Stanford.

“That’s who I want to beat. Especially coming from the Bay Area and growing up with them in my backyard

and then choosing to leave and come here, it’s awesome to be able to play them.”

The Ducks struggled in the first quarter with an 11.1% shooting percentage from the 3-point line and 31.3% shooting percentage from the field. Ionescu had her work cut out for her moving around the Cardinal defense as they tried to shut her down.

Ionescu said that once they settled down and worked on fighting through the defense, they started rolling. After playing catchup in the first quarter, with an improvement in the Ducks’ 3-point shooting, Oregon pulled into the lead in the second, ending the half 36-30.

The Ducks’ began to stretch their lead in the third when Ionescu stepped it up, finishing the quarter with a 3-pointer at the buzzer, leading the Ducks with 29 points, nine rebounds and four assists.

“She was phenomenal, scoring, making passes, rebounding,” Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer said about Ionescu. “She is that good and the people around her are very, very good also, so we have our work cut out for us to be able to get ready for

them the next time.”

Ionescu said that the energy from the crowd contributed to their improvement in the second half as well.

“Game in and game out they are cheering,” Ionescu said. “If it’s a triple double, if it’s Jaz Shelley coming off and hitting a big-time 3, if it’s Lydia getting to the free throw line.

Whatever it is, they have supported us game in and game out. They played a huge role in this win and it was electric in there, it was awesome.”

With two minutes left in the game, Ionescu left the court to a thunderous applause.

“I think that’s the best game we’ve played this year,” Ionescu said after the game.
