THE BELLS

ARE BACK IN TOWN

BY CARRINGTON POWELL • TWITTER @CARINGTONPOWELL During times of stress or concentration, the smallest sounds can become sources of mass annoyance. The worst sounds are the constant ones, the clicking of a pen, the ticking of a clock or… the sound of a bell that rings on campus four times an hour.

The bells, known as the “Carillon System” or the “Carillon Chimes,” are on top of the Erb Memorial Union and ring every 15 minutes, starting early in the morning and going until dark. They were just re-installed this summer after being taken down for renovations last year. The bells have actually been there in some form since the 1950s making it an old University of Oregon tradition.

But for some students, tradition is not what they want on their minds every 15 minutes of the day. A survey was posted by a student on the UO subreddit on Oct. 31 asking students what they thought about the bell, and Reddit users were immediately divided.

According to answers in the survey, some students enjoy the daily chimes.

“Love the style of the bell, gives campus character,” one respondent said. “Please don’t take it away,” pleaded another.

But other students did not have such positive feelings. “Even Pavlov would be annoyed with this bell,” one respondent said. “I feel like I’m back in Catholic School,” another replied. “This isn’t [V] ictorian [E]ngland where everyone is too poor to afford a clock,” another said.

At the time of writing, the survey results show that while 35% of students say that the bell helps them keep track of time, 45% say it distracts them. One of the students who finds it distracting is Justin Gonzales, a resident assistant at the Living Learning Center residence hall.

“It’s the fact that it rings every 15 minutes,” Gonzales said. “It helps me keep track of time, but it really distracts me from my work because I am more aware of how much time I’m spending not doing my work.”

About half of the students in the survey who say they can hear the bell are from LLC — the dorm closest to the bells — and 32% of students overall say they cannot sleep through the bell.

However, just because the bells are a tradition doesn’t mean they can’t change.

Laurie Woodward, director of the EMU, said she sees the bells as an enhancement

to campus, and if people are having trouble, they should let the university know.

“It’s meant to be a campus amenity. It’s not meant to bother anybody,” Woodward said.

The bells are fully electronic, with speakers, a keyboard and a microphone.

If needed, the volume can be turned up or down, one of the speakers can be shut off and the time that the bells go off can change. If the bells are found to be too annoying, the sound and frequency can be changed dynamically.

“We don’t want people to not be happy with them; they’re meant to make people smile,” Woodward said.

While respondents in the survey seem to have strong opinions on the bell, it would be wrong to say that students want the bell gone altogether. According to the survey, 53% of students say the bell should ring every hour, and 17% say every 30 minutes. Only 13% never want it to ring at all. It seems that despite harsh opinions of the current bell situation, students still want it to be a presence on campus.

“I would be content with 30 minutes, but 15 minutes — hard no,” Gonzales said.

LTD PLANS CHANGES

TO SERVICES WITH TRANSIT TOMORROW

BY C. FRANCIS O’LEARY

Riders step off of the Emerald Express bus at Dads’ Gates Station. Lane Transit District’s recently proposed changes would give high rider-ship bus routes more LTD resources at the expense of greater coverage. (Marissa Willke/Emerald)

The Lane Transit District will be changing its services starting in 2020 as part of its Transit Tomorrow initiative. Proposed changes include shifting resources to routes with more riders and cutting services to neighborhoods with fewer riders. The decision to shift resources comes after two rounds of public outreach in the past two years.

LTD’s Board of Directors approved a resolution on Aug. 21 that calls for 80-85% of resources, such as labor hours and busses, to be dedicated to “ridership-oriented routes,” or those with an average of 35 or more boardings per hour. The resolution dictates that the remaining 15-20% of resources be split among “coverage-oriented” routes, meaning those with fewer than 35 average riders per hour, with up to 5% going to “non-fixed routes,” or routes that don’t exist on a permanent basis.

An LTD Strategic Planning Committee presentation on Nov. 5 announced that part of the plan includes an increase in the percentage of LTD resources devoted to routes that are serviced every 15 minutes or fewer. Those routes will receive 50% of all LTD resources rather than the PA G E 4

17% they get now.

University of Oregon students collectively pay over $1 million per year to ride LTD through ASUO incidental fee according to the ASUO budget.

Students can expect changes to the LTD routes closest to campus, such as the Em-X, 23, 73 and 78; the Em-X will increase its frequency to every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 15 minutes on the weekends, while routes 23, 73 and 78 will be dissolved or combined.

LTD hadn’t done an in-depth analysis of its network in almost 20 years, according to its website. During that time, the population it served had grown by 20%, while service hours only grew by 5%. In December 2017, LTD hired Jarett Walker & Associates, a transit consultant firm which has worked in cities as large as Philadelphia and Toronto to analyze the LTD system and propose changes.

After analyzing the LTD system, JWA came up with a trade-off system: Riders could choose whether they would prefer greater coverage or higher frequency on busy routes and they could choose between lower fares and more services.

JWA set about an outreach program and gathered

feedback from 3,293 people according to its reports. The result was that most riders preferred higher frequency and more services, leading to the Aug. 21 resolution.

Though the LTD Board of Directors has made its final decision in favor of high ridership over greater coverage, all modifications to specific routes are subject to change until implementation begins summer 2020. According to assistant general manager at LTD Mark Johnson, “[LTD is] reaching out to the community, school districts, neighborhood associations and everybody [it] can to make the decision.”

LTD will have a public comment sessions on proposed Transit Tomorrow changes on Dec. 11 and Dec. 16 at the Eugene Public Library and Springfield City Hall, respectively.

ALBUM REVIEW:

JEFF LYNNE’S ELO, ‘FROM OUT OF NOWHERE’ IS REMINISCENT OF RETRO ELO SOUND WITH A MODERN TWIST

BY GRACE MURRAY• TWITTER @GRACIEE_MURRAYY The Electric Light Orchestra skyrocketed into popularity throughout the 1970s with hit songs like, “Mr. Blue Sky,” ”Don’t Bring Me Down,” “Livin’ Thing,” ”Turn to Stone” and “Evil Woman.”

Their music reached far beyond its birth place of Birmingham, United Kingdom, as the United States adopted their music with open arms. Sprouting out of a post-Beatlemania age, ELO found fame with a unique and eclectic rock sound. The sound was considered futuristic with their almost magical emphasis on keyboards and electric guitar. Through incorporating a multitude of different instruments in each song, ELO curated music with sounds that had never been used in music before.

The music of ELO survived through the decades, making appearances on film soundtracks like “Austin Powers,” “Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind” and “Xanadu.” In an effort to usher in a new generation of music in 2014, ELO became known as Jeff Lynne’s ELO. This is the second album born out of the band’s new era.

Coming out strong as the title track of the album, “From Out of Nowhere” sets the tone for the rest of the album perfectly. An underlying traditional ELO sound is found in this tune with backup singers’ echoes filling up the background and an enchanting mixture between the rhythmic drums and the soulful electric guitar. The lyrics don’t tell a particular story other than a mysterious tale, which could be about the end of a tumultuous love affair.

“Let me go/ Let me fly/ To a place that I love/ Let me fly away and start again” is the chorus sung by Lynne himself, and it is repeated quite a few times throughout the song.

“Losing You” is by far the saddest song on the entire album and also the most reminiscent of old ELO. Singing about the loss of an important person, the track is depressing but melodic nonetheless.

Through soft words, Lynne sings, “You always gave me everything I ever needed/ Helped me see the hard times through/ Now I’m losing you.” The instruments on the track accompany the solemn words perfectly with a heavy electric guitar and slow drumming. Lynne’s voice is melodic and soft throughout almost the whole song, with a few lyrics sticking out as his tone almost sounds desperate.

This particular tune tips a hat to the ELO fans that have stuck with the band through the decades of music, breakups and short reunions. “One More Time” tells the story of the resurgence of ELO and their new ventures as a band. The lyrics speak to being back on tour singing their old songs once again. “Gonna play those songs again/ It’s the best thing since I don’t know when/ Just one more time/ Come on baby, time to rock and roll,” Lynne sings in an up-beat tone. The song’s intro sounds like a spaceship starting off paying homage to the band’s longtime logo, a massive colorful spaceship that has appeared on almost every album cover since 1977.

“Time of Our Life” is the fastest paced song of

the entire album, though it is significantly mellow compared to vintage ELO tracks. The lyrics of the song describe the night that Lynne’s ELO played Wembley Stadium in 2017 in front of nearly 60,000 people. There is even a clip of a roar of a crowd included within the song itself. “This could be the best night I’ve ever seen/ The whole of Wembley singin’ along/ To every little song,” Lynne sings alongside a calm but up-beat guitar and drum combination. The band even put out a music video for the song using clips from the actual Wembley show.

The final track of the album “Songbird” has a deep and bluesy feel to it. The guitar and drums in the background strum a soulful melody that gives the lyrics even more depth. The song is about a lover returning, and with her return bringing happiness and relief. As if Lynne’s heavy and trademark blues voice in this song wasn’t enough, there is also a backup track of singers cooing throughout the background. “She sings her lovely song to me/ My songbird came home/ Now my troubles are gone,” Lynne sings in the final lyrics of the song.

This album fit perfectly in the ELO discography and reinforced the new age of the band and their future. While this may be the end of the ELO reunion, they are still enjoying every second of this new image. With prospects of a possible tour on the horizon, Lynne’s ELO has made their way back into the rock ‘n’ roll scene even after all these years.

UO STUDENTS IN 1929 MADE A SILENT MOVIE

THAT WE’RE STILL TALKING ABOUT

BY JAMES CROXTON • TWITTER @JWCROXTON

“Ed’s Co-ed” (Courtesy of University of Oregon)

The University of Oregon was a much different place in the 1920s. Wearing corduroy pants was prohibited, freshmen weren’t allowed to sit on the senior bench under an umbrella and most devastatingly — they had to wear a little greencolored cap, also called a “fez.”

That was the UO portrayed in the film “Ed’s Coed.”

Ed — the young owner of a sawmill — comes to the university to both get an education and find a woman amid a campus full of tradition and pranks.

The film was directed by best friends and upperclassmen James Raley and Carvel Nelson in 1929 — and it’s currently the first entirely studentrun, feature-length silent film to still exist. James F. McBride, a 28-year-old from Washington who worked with legendary filmmaker Cecil B. Demille, was the only professional on staff.

In the Summer 2019 issue of “Film History: An International Journal,” Dr. Michael Aronson — associate professor and director of cinema studies at UO — and Elizabeth Peterson, the cinema studies PA G E 6

librarian, published an extensive article on the history of the film.

“There [were] a considerable number of films about college life made between 1925-1929,” Peterson said.

“The student-producers of ‘Ed’s Coed’ were wellaware of these films and made a conscious decision to capitalize on their popularity and to diverge from the expected formula.”

At the time of production, the campus was roughly half its current size and consisted of less than 40 buildings. While the campus has grown significantly and continues to expand, several of the buildings in “Ed’s Coed” still stand.

When Ed’s bus arrives at the university, Condon Hall — built in 1925 as the Science Building — is seen behind him. Shortly thereafter, once the bus is stopped, Fenton Hall — then the university’s first official library space — can be seen behind it.

Ed then walks down “Hello Walk,” the pathway from Fenton Hall to Villard. During this time, it was customary for all freshmen students to say “hello” to

each and every person they met on the path. Behind Ed as he walks up the path is Susan Campbell Hall.

The Delta Gamma sorority building, renamed Kappa Chi for the film, was used for the scene in which Ed is kicked out after being pranked into thinking that’s where he had to register for school.

Similarly, later in the film, the Gamma Phi Beta sorority building was used and renamed Theta Delta Zeta.

The steps in front of Johnson Hall — known simply then as the Administration Building — were featured in the scene where a frustrated Ed finally gets registered with the help of a passing sophomore.

The gullible Ed is once again tricked into breaking campus rules. During the scene, both Deady Hall and McClure Hall can be seen, along with Friendly Hall and the Pioneer Statue. The punishment for being a general menace was a public paddling on the Library steps — currently Fenton Hall — as seen in the film.

as a studio space and as a backdrop for one scene in which Buddy, the sophomore who originally helped Ed, roller-skates up University Street toward 13th Avenue with the basketball arena on one side and the Pioneer Cemetery on another.

Hayward Field was also featured in the film.

Of major importance to off-campus UO student life was the Millrace, which is separated from campus by Franklin Boulevard. At the time, it was considered the industrial heart of Eugene.

In those days, students could often be found canoeing past the grandstands that lined the banks of the Millrace. There was even a celebration nearly every weekend that included a parade of decorated canoes. In the film, the Millrace and its canoeing tradition play a big part in Ed winning-over his coed crush, Joanne.

The Daily Emerald — known in 1929 as The Oregon Daily Emerald — was also instrumental with the production of the film. Four Emerald staffers

worked in producing “Ed’s Coed.”

Ron Hubbs, the film’s business manager, was associate editor at the Emerald in 1929; photo editor Leonard Delano worked on the film’s lighting; Margaret Poorman, the manager of the newspaper’s checking department, was a part of the film’s recording staff; and Addison Brockman, an ad salesman for the newspaper, was a part of the film’s general staff.

To the film’s credit, in 1928, director Carvel Nelson had worked on “City Girl” in Pendleton, Oregon.

Additionally, the Emerald helped build a sizeable and organized production staff.

According to a 1929 Oregon Daily Emerald issue, auditions for the film began on Jan. 15 and a staff was announced a week later. By March 30, the “campus movie” — as it was first called — had all the major roles filled and the university president approved the story.

The preservation of “Ed’s Coed” is a story unto itself. The film almost didn’t even make its premiere at the McDonald Theatre in November 1929.

On Oct. 24, the laboratories of the Consolidated Film Industries in Hollywood — where the film had been sent for the title cards to be inserted — burned to the ground following an explosion. One man was killed and millions of dollars in films were destroyed. Most of these were lost forever. “Ed’s Coed” narrowly survived after being shipped back a day prior.

Following a sold-out matinee premiere, the film was brought back for an additional screening the next night. Afterward, the film fell mostly into obscurity until the late 1950s when it was “relocated and returned to me,” Nelson said in a letter. In the ‘60s, the original and highly flammable nitrate reels were destroyed and copied onto film that the university still houses in Special Collections.

The making of “Ed’s Coed” continues to be celebrated by university historians as a once-in-a-lifetime innovation in film and an exercise in the power of teamwork. The love of film seen by Raley and Nelson in 1929 continues to inspire student filmmakers and researchers at the

university.

Luna Koenig, a student filmmaker who graduated from UO in summer 2019, has been inspired by the film.

“I think it’s a good example of how a quality film can be made even with a lower budget or less advanced equipment. The strong story and good actors carry the film, not fancy technology,” she said.

Dr. Aronson remarked that “in 1929, 60 [undergraduates] with no filmmaking experience between them produced a polished and pleasurable 35mm feature-length romantic comedy that we are still talking about and enjoying today. If nothing else, I hope it motivates other students to push the boundaries of what they want to accomplish in their short time here at Oregon.”

Sophie Ackerman — a junior cinema studies major — is an example of Dr. Aronson’s hope coming to fruition.

“Because I have so much access to so much equipment and film lovers at the University, I want to create as much as I can before graduating,” Ackerman said.

OPINION A menstrual product dispenser in a UO bathroom. (Sarah Northrop/Emerald)

HAVING MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS IN EVERY BATHROOM IS ESSENTIAL TO STUDENT SUCCESS

BY AMALIA BIRCH What do students need to succeed? Most people might say things like school supplies, a work ethic or time management skills. While all of these are true, for a lot of students, one thing that hinders their success is a lack of access to menstrual products.

About one in five girls in the United States have had to miss days of school or had to leave early because they didn’t have menstrual products, according to the Confidence & Puberty Survey conducted by Always.

This is due to menstrual inequity, or period poverty, and it affects people all over the world.

Manju Bangalore, the executive director of Operation Period, a nonprofit organization that addresses menstrual inequity by “providing advocacy, education and products to those in need,” said menstrual inequity is “the concept that people across the world who menstruate don’t have the right access to facilities, products or the education to have a healthy period.”

Bangalore, a recent graduate from the University of Oregon, started Operation Period in February of 2015 with other UO students in order to combat menstrual inequity and bring awareness to the issue.

Bangalore has seen the impact of inadequate access to menstrual products, as both of her grandmothers were child brides in India. This is due in large part to the fact that they weren’t able to finish school because of a lack of access to healthcare.

Bangalore said that this is a common problem in India and other less developed countries.

Menstrual inequity affects much more than

hygiene and the ability to get an education. When young people don’t have access to menstrual products, they are more likely to become child brides because they aren’t finishing school. This raises the risk of maternal mortality because those who get married young are more likely to have kids at a young age, when childbirth is more dangerous.

Bangalore’s mom, however, was able to finish school and get a law degree because she had access to the healthcare that her mother did not.

“We are able in one generaton to change the cycle of poverty, to change access to healthcare and to education — all of these things in large part because of access to menstrual products,” Bangalore said.

Though still based in Oregon, Operation Period has expanded to cities all over the United States, as well as in India. One way they have been able to do this is by starting school clubs, one of which is being created at UO. Menstrual inequity is a problem around the world, including in the United States, and it is also a problem right here on our campus. Operation Period’s first goal for the UO campus will be to get menstrual products into all the bathrooms on campus, including the gender neutral and men’s bathrooms.

“Because not just women bleed and not all women bleed,” Bangalore said.

What this means is that an important part of advocating for menstrual equity is recognizing that there are transgender men and nonbinary people who also menstruate, and their access to products is

just as important. Other colleges around the country, including Yale and Columbia, have already started implementing inclusive free access to menstrual products, and the UO should follow suit.

The conversation on period poverty has been extremely gendered and it still is; however, Operation Period uses gender-inclusive language. The organization says on its website that “when we don’t fight for everyone who bleeds, we claim victory when the fight is not over.”

If we want to help eradicate menstrual inequity on campus by supplying free products, we must do so in an inclusive manner.

Periods are still a taboo subject, which makes achieving menstrual equity even harder to do. As part of accomplishing its goals, Operation Period tries to break down this taboo using education and advocacy.

They hope to put on more events, projects and initiatives on campus in the future to bring menstrual education to UO and to get people involved in the fight against period poverty. If you are interested in learning more or helping out, keep a lookout on campus for Operation Period in the next few months.

There is still a long way to go before the world is rid of menstrual inequity. However, the University of Oregon can do its part right now by making access to free menstrual products in every bathroom on campus a reality, thus ensuring the success of its students.

SABRINA IONESCU

BRINGS DUCKS TO VICTORY OVER TEAM USA

BY CARLY EBISUYA • TWITTER @CARLYEBISUYA

Ducks guard Sabrina Ionescu (20) muscles her way past USA guard Diana Taurasi. (Sarah Northrop/Emerald)

With the shot clock winding down from five seconds, Oregon’s Sabrina Ionescu had the ball in her hands as she dribbled across the court floor’s logo.

Without any hint of panic on her face, she ever-sosmoothly took her usual one-two hop into her shot and calmly drained a deep three as the buzzer turned red.

The crowd erupted and rose to its feet. The Oregon bench immediately jumped up to cheer on their teammate.

This is normal for Ionescu: To hit the deepest three of the game in stride and with ease.

“I practice that shot a lot, so I wasn’t nervous about the distance. And it ended up being a good shot,” Ionescu said.

That shot not only sparked Oregon’s hot thirdquarter start, it ignited a 25-point scoring turnaround by the superstar guard.

To have the opportunity to play the world’s best team, comprised of multiple gold medal winners and numerous WNBA championship champions, is a big enough feat in itself. To be in the center of that feat,

however, just adds to the game’s magnitude.

Yet, Ionescu didn’t succumb to the pressure or listen to any of the background noise. No matter who her opponent is or what the odds are, she will always play her game.

She told her teammates before the game to give it their best shot, not worry about the score or about winning or losing and just play Duck basketball.

In one of the biggest season openers in program history, the Ducks grinded out a rare win against the best team in the world in a narrow victory 93-86. No other collegiate team has defeated Team USA since 1999. And who better to lead the Ducks to victory than the NCAA’s leader in triple-doubles?

Ionescu continued her roll, scoring a hard-earned 20 out of the team’s 30 points in the third quarter after a rocky first-half start.

“In that third quarter, I just continued to try and attack the rim,” Ionescu said. “If they weren’t going to stop me, I was going to get to the rim, and I did that.”

No stranger to high levels of competition, last season’s Wade Trophy winner shined against the high

levels of talent that Team USA brings and showcased why she is considered the No. 1 draft pick for the WNBA next year.

She finished with a game-high 30 points, 25 of them coming from the second half.

Saturday’s exhibition game proved that Ionescu can not only play up to the level of the competition, but be successful in doing so. Even with her game face on, Ionescu could not help but crack a smile about the opportunity to play against the best.

“Being on the same court as some of those players, I’ve never dreamed about or imagined. Just to be able to touch the same ball that they do is a blessing for me,” Ionescu said.

Team USA, and especially WNBA veteran Sue Bird, praised the tremendous amount of talent that the senior holds and knows that her career will take off in the league. For now, Bird’s best advice is to just enjoy it.

“You only get to go to college once, so she should just soak it all in. She needs to just enjoy this ride.

She’s going to want to finish it right,” Bird said.
