Cleavenger vs. UO

sTate lawsuit

at a standstill James Cleavenger worked for the UOPD for several years. His employment was terminated in 2012 following a series of disagreements with colleagues and poor performance reviews.

In Oct. 2013, Cleavenger filed a federal lawsuit against several UOPD employees, citing wrongful termination, retaliation and whistleblowing. In Sept. 2015, the jury awarded Cleavenger $755,000 in economic damages.

The university is considering filing for an appeal. UO attorneys have filed pre-trial paperwork.

Six days before the federal trial began however, Cleavenger filed a similar lawsuit in state court, at Eugene’s federal courthouse. While the federal case was filed against individual UOPD employees, the state case was filed against the university specifically.

After winning the federal case, the verdict is still out on whether the state case will continue.

On Dec. 21, 2015, there was a state case hearing at Eugene’s federal courthouse. The defendant and plaintiff both gave oral arguments. The hearing itself was very short. The final decision: keep the lawsuit under advisement.

UO attorneys argued for a full dismissal of the state lawsuit.

Because Cleavenger won the federal case, they argued, he should not be allowed to file for the same damages again. In court documents UO attorneys said, “Plaintiff’s attempt to obtain a

second recovery in this forum for identical harm, stemming from an identical factual transaction is both inappropriate and a waste of this court’s and the Defendant’s time and resources.� “The university has filed a motion to dismiss the state case, because the claims are the same as they were in the federal case and one cannot recover damages twice,� university spokesman Tobin Klinger said in a statement. “The university is still giving consideration to a potential appeal of the federal case.�

However, Cleavenger has not been guaranteed any money yet, since UO still has the option of appealing the federal case.

The judge is likely waiting on the federal case to wrap up, Cleavenger said. “They’ll probably end up staying it until the end of the federal stuff,�

Cleavenger said. “But we’ll see.�

In court documents, Cleavenger’s attorneys said that UO’s decision to file a motion to dismiss before deciding whether they would appeal the federal case was a tactical decision. “[The defendant, UO] chose to bring these motions to dismiss the state case knowing that the pre-trial motions in the federal case would still be pending,� plaintiffs said.

UO has filed post-trial motions in federal court, preparing for a retrial if they decide to appeal.

Both sides will present their oral arguments for the federal case on Feb. 12. b y N o a h M c g r aw, @ M c N o a h M c G r aw

ashes to ashes:

David Bowie I was 14 years old when I first heard Changesbowie, David Bowie’s 1990 retrospective, and I’d just started 8th grade. For me at the time, music didn’t exist independent of the radio and my parents’ CD collection. I’d never heard Bowie except for “Changes� in Shrek 2. But something clicked with me when I heard this compilation, now much-maligned if only because of its inferior remix of “Fame.� In fact, it clicked with me so hard that I sat down at my parents’ longsince-retired desktop computer and dashed out a review – the first I ever wrote, which I’d publish in my tiny, scarcely read high school newsletter a few days later.

At that time, I thought sexuality in music was Motley Crue wolf-whistling on the Sunset Strip. Prince had piqued my pubescent nerves, but he was too scary and esoteric to do much for me. David Bowie was – well, a lot like me.

He was human. For all his ineffable alien cool, “Suffragette City,� “John I’m Only Dancing,� “Let’s Dance,� even “Heroes� worked because of his uncontrolled excitement. He didn’t treat matters of the heart with jaded cynicism but with the same curiosity, delight and genuine fascination I felt myself as a gay 14-year-old kid who’d only had maybe six crushes at the time. He made me feel comfortable in my queer, pubescent skin, this fey little elf-man dancing around my dad’s stereo.

Many, including the great critic Lester Bangs, have accused Bowie of using queerness as a publicity ploy. Bowie announced he was gay in 1972 while married to a woman, shortly before

his homoerotic, star-making performance on Top Of The Pops. He then called himself a “closet heterosexual� in 1983 before declaring himself – in a description that still puts a smile on my face – “try-sexual� (he’d try anything). Was Bowie “really� queer? Even if he’d only experimented once or twice, he was more open than any pop star in 1972 had any logical reason to be.

The way I see it, he was just taking his time to figure out his sexuality, and it seems he never did. The same could be said of his image and his music. Bowie reinvented himself continually.

There was Ziggy Stardust, the alien messiah who thumbed his painted nose at norms for gender and sexual expression. There was the coked-out Thin White Duke, plasticizer of soul. There was Berlin Bowie, mainstream champion of art music.

There was the exuberant Bowie of the ‘80s, the same goofball that would judge Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson’s runway walk-off in Zoolander.

Even if he was nothing more than a dilettante, he reinvented himself effortlessly, becoming only more influential and successful with each rebirth.

Before Bowie passed away, he was perhaps for the first time ever, looking back. The cover of his final retrospective showed him looking in the mirror, more than a bit forlorn. The title: Nothing Has Changed. “Where Are We Now,� the first single to his penultimate Next Day, found him “walking the dead� sadly around Berlin; the album’s cover was simply that of 1977’s Heroes with a white square over the singer’s face. By his final album, Blackstar, he was warping cues from his Thin

White Duke era, embracing his status as a rock star so chameleonic that he didn’t have to answer to anyone but himself. This was the most austere Bowie yet – gracefully aged, stately, arty, but still with a mischievous spirit.

When Bowie died at age 69 on Jan.10, he’d been fighting cancer for 18 months, with no word of it to the public prior to his death. He knew he was dying when he recorded Blackstar, and it’s impossible not to look back and find portents in the lyrics. “Look here man, I’m in danger,� he sings on Lazarus.� On “Sue:� “The clinic called, the x-ray’s fine.� Press and publicity have plenty of explanations for these lyrics. If you believe Genius, “Lazarus� is told from the perspective of his character in The Man Who Fell To Earth, and “Sue� is told from the perspective of the lead in the 17th century play ’Tis A Pity She’s A Whore. But now we know: this was the real Bowie we were hearing, telling it to us straight for the first time.

David Bowie was a star, an artist and an icon with an ever-changing persona. David Robert Jones, born 1947 in Brixton, London, was a human being who just happened to be exceptionally brave and talented. Too late now we know that it’s that David we see on Blackstar. And it’s that David – the excitable little voice behind the makeup – that spoke to me as a 14-year-old and inspired me to pick up the pen and write about music for the first time. b y d a n i e l b r o m f i e l d , @ b r o mf 3

et all the children boogie.

The surreal news of David Bowie’s passing earlier this week was met with immediate doubt and speculation that it was a hoax. With his 69th birthday and final album Blackstar coinciding just two days prior, it seemed far too dubious to be plausible.

2016 marked David Bowie’s 50th year in the music industry, a run that spanned a plethora of studio albums, compilations, live recordings, retrospectives and a narration of “Peter and the Wolf.� Bowie was iconic for his perpetual self-reinvention and career disruption.

His musical influence is recognizable across genres and into cosmic depths. The breadth of his career is unparalleled; you’d be hard-pressed to name another solo artist with an equal number of stand-alone, distinctive hits.

To help you navigate Bowie’s extensive career, we here at the Emerald are recommending some of the best of Bowie.

“Space Oddity� from David Bowie (1969) Bowie’s final album Blackstar didn’t represent the first time the singer confronted death; he’s been doing it from the beginning. On his breakout hit “Space Oddity,� Major Tom, Bowie’s perennial, doomed hero, finds that his circuit’s dead and something’s wrong. But instead of panicking, Major Tom turns his gaze to the stars and planets. Content in his spaceship, reassured his wife knows he loves her, Tom shuts out the cries from Houston and makes a truce with the inevitable. He doesn’t fight death, but instead immerses himself in what’s left of life – much like how Bowie would approach the subject on Blackstar.

“Starman� from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust...(1972) Merely one brief chapter on the album, this song looks up to an alien rockstar who introduces the youths of Earth to the magic of rock ‘n’ roll. The quick jump within the chorus (“Star-maaan�) is an ode to the same soaring transition within “Over the Rainbow� (“Somewheeere�) from The Wizard of Oz and a reference to the titular Starman’s cosmic home. It’s easy to overlook how one of the most exemplary pop songs of all time can encapsulate a profound fable about an intergalactic bond.

“Changes� from Hunky Dory (1971) One of Bowie’s more recognizable tracks, “Changes� serves as a song for any occasion.

Specifically though, the track is a journey through evolution, growth and “facing the strange.� My first vivid memory of hearing this song was at my middle school graduation.

Bowie’s voice soared over a slideshow of various photos of my class while teachers smiled and parents wiped stray tears from their eyes. I didn’t fully realize the weight of the song until I thought back on it years later. Sitting there, almost 14 years old, hearing Bowie sing, “Pretty soon now you’re gonna get older� was actually very emotionally significant. The song itself is sweet and funky, but the feelings it represents are intrinsically heavy – a very specific feature of songwriting I think Bowie perfected throughout his career.

“Life on Mars?� from Hunky Dory (1971) “Life On Mars� is maybe the best song ever written about how everything sucks. His vitriol doesn’t have one particular target here. He’s just surveying the carnage around him, from violence to greed to racism, and it’s enough to make anyone wonder: is there life on Mars? That last word is delivered in what might be the most devastating octave leap in rock history. These high notes don’t convey elation as they tend to in pop. Rather, that one word seethes with frustration, a cry of unanswered anger echoing through an apocalyptic world.

“Under Pressure� by Queen with David Bowie (1981)

“I Can’t Give Everything Away� from Blackstar (2016)

This song is perhaps most famous for providing the beat that Vanilla Ice’s lone hit, “Ice, Ice Baby� would ultimately borrow, but Bowie and Queen originally teamed up to work on a different song. After Mexican food and a few hours of beer (as Brian May recounts), “Under Pressure� forced its way out of the studio, with Bowie leading the charge to capture the song that May recalls as a classic moment of Bowie genius.

Freddie Mercury and Bowie’s vocals mesh perfectly, with Mercury’s scat singing adding a dimension of spontaneity to the sparsely layered track. Bowie’s background vocals demonstrate the versatility of his voice.

The final track of Blackstar destroys me. Bowie is someone who’s adopted various colorful, humanoid personalities over the years, but here he’s viscerally human. He admits that there’s more within him that could be shared with the world, but it’s obscured by either the constraints of time or human capacity. It’s a heartbreaking note on which to close, as his final word “away� recedes. Even Bowie, ever a curator of his public persona, couldn’t help but compose a narrative around his death.

OREGON BASKETBALL LOOKING FOR A LEADER

Like every coach before a new season, Dana Altman had an ideal vision for his team: The new guys would fit in with returners, and both would step up in place of reigning Pac-12 Player of the Year, Joseph Young. In addition, this group would make another run in March.

At the center of this vision was Villanova graduate transfer Dylan Ennis, a recognized veteran who averaged 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season.

“He’s that way by nature, he doesn’t have to manufacture it,” Altman said earlier this season about Ennis’ leadership qualities. “He’s a natural leader, he likes it.”

The team was heartbroken when its presumed leader was ruled out for the season after re-injuring his left foot.

Before Ennis was officially out of the picture — he made his return in limited minutes against Western Oregon and Oregon State — Altman was confident that his fifth-year senior was ready to lead. Even now, Altman laments the fact that Ennis won’t be able to be as much of a leader for this team, noting his impressive offseason work ethic prior to taking classes.

If everything had gone according to plan, Ennis would have played heavy minutes, been the leader Altman saw from the get-go and brought a veteran presence that could have proved its value later in the postseason.

There’s really no other way to put it: Ennis’ season ending injury has forced Altman to look elsewhere for consistent leadership.

“Some of the other guys aren’t afraid to lead, but they’re just not as vocal,” Altman said. “That takes some time. Some guys got to step up and it carries a big deal of responsibility with it. It takes a lot of courage and it also takes a lot of accountability.”

Because of the injury, an opportunity has risen for an Oregon team that still has the talent and depth to veer

back onto the path that Altman set forth at the beginning of the season. It’s an opportunity that can only be accomplished if Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey surface as young, consistent and vocal leaders by the end of the season.

“Losing Ennis for the season is pretty tough,” Dorsey said. “But as a team, players got to step up.”

Currently, the duo leads the team in points — Brooks (15.2), Dorsey (14.6) — and has been Altman’s most consistent offensive option outside of junior college transfer Chris Boucher. Boucher has provided 12.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game as Oregon’s best post player.

While Elgin Cook has been with the program the longest and is looked to as one of the veteran leaders — he’s averaging 12.8 points and 5.3 rebounds — Brooks and Dorsey have quickly emerged as the faces of this team.

Since Altman arrived, the make up of the Oregon program has been straightforward, relying on transfers and memorable individuals like Young to head the program. It’s been the reason the program has experienced five straight 20-plus win seasons and three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. Had Ennis remained healthy, 2016 would have been no different.

Now the focus has shifted towards two underclassmen who have already led Oregon to a 13-3 (2-1 Pac-12) record. Fortunately for Oregon, it’s a position that both Brooks and Dorsey are familiar with — Brooks stepping up in last year’s NCAA tournament, Dorsey leading the Greek National team in points and minutes this past summer at the 2015 FIBA U19 World Championship.

With Ennis on the sidelines, it leaves the door wide open for these two to further mature as leaders and develop as players. b y H ay d e n K i m , @ H ay D ay K i m

đ&#x;”Ś news ASUO debating a ‘mediator’ position to make meetings more accessible

When Matti Cone started his leadership role at the Veterans and Family Student Association two years ago, Cone said he felt overwhelmed. “I didn’t like how the process went,� Cone said. “It’s a huge learning curve that not everyone could keep up with.�

Every year when new students settle in leadership roles into student groups, they find themselves lost in ASUO procedure, formality and legal terms, which are all bounded by the Green Tape Notebook, the official rules and bylaws that ASUO has to follow.

ASUO Senate meets every Wednesday to evaluate multiple special requests from student groups that want to spend outside of their approved budget.

Earlier this year, a survey conducted by senator Abel Cerros showed a majority of students felt unwelcome at these meetings.

Some of the quotes read, “Harsh environment, hard to hear, unfriendly senators.�

Cerros, who’s a returning senator, said he felt the same way when he first got involved with ASUO. “ASUO is not open to everyone,�

Cerros said. “It could be a hostile environment at times.�

Cone said the problems could be a lack of understanding about ASUO’s process and a lack of preparation. “It’s hard for student groups to present their requests for the good of their own group,� Cone said. “Sometimes groups come in with only chicken scratch and a very poorly formatted request, so we want to help them out.�

Every week, Jason Kim, a VFSA board member, would attend senate meetings to take notes and reach out to groups that need help with paperwork, Cone said.

Rachel Mallinga, a coordinator at the Multicultural Center, said the lack of diversity in senate could also make students feel uncomfortable at these meetings.

MCC advocates often come to senate meetings to support other unions, especially student groups that are considered a minority, Mallinga said. “MCC is there to support the unrepresented union groups at the ASUO meeting,� Mallinga said. “Everyone should have a voice, even if you are the minority.�

MCC often hosts workshops on Mondays to help student groups get familiar with ASUO procedure and functions.

Cone said because senators alter every year, there is a learning curve for them too. The problem could be “out of their vision,� he said.

In fall term, senator Cerros proposed a liaison position to “connect senators and students� as the result of the survey.

Senate debated on this idea Oct. 21 and Oct. 28, but neither meeting resulted in a finalization of the position.

Cerros said he’ll be as open and available as possible for students to come with concerns and questions.

He is not working on the proposal at the moment. The senate still hesitated about the legitimacy of the position, he said. “What [senate] wants to know now is a more concrete, step-bystep plan,� Cerros said. “And we are still trying to figure out the payment for the position.�

At this point, the position is not likely to be created, Cerros said, but he hopes the work this year could shape up into a reality next year.

I

n 2013, actor Nathan Fillion, known for his roles on TV shows like Castle and Firefly, went on the late night talk show Conan to share his dismay with how the future has turned out.

Despite technological achievements in cell phones, space travel and virtual reality, Fillion sighed, “My car still looks like a car.�

Then he presented the remedy for his transportation woes: the Arcimoto three-wheeled motorcycle with a reverse-tricycle set-up and an arching roll cage frame on top. He explained that the vehicle solves a lot of problems; its minimal design uses fewer resources than a standard car.

Plus it’s all-electric, “which ought to be a nobrainer by now,� said Fillion.

The headquarters housing Nathan Fillion’s dream vehicle are located on Blair Boulevard in Eugene’s Whiteaker neighborhood, right next to the hipster Mexican restaurant Tacovore and Glass House Coffee Bar. Arcimoto, the electric vehicle startup company, was founded by Mark Frohnmayer, son of former University of Oregon President David B. Frohnmayer. “You can get your coffee, tacos, margaritas and then you’re ready to rock out in the electric

car revolution,� said Frohnmayer, standing in the parking lot and gesturing from business to business.

During the Paris climate talks last month, Oregon, seven other states and five other countries signed a zero-emission vehicle mandate to sell only carbon emission-free vehicles by 2050. To get there, Oregon needs electric vehicles that are affordable for the middle class. Arcimoto is getting ready to provide them.

After graduating from UC Berkeley in 1996, Frohnmayer was living with his parents, getting around Eugene on his bicycle. He sold his Subaru because he didn’t want to contribute to “the havoc that we’re reaping on the planet.�

The anxiety that Frohnmayer experienced upon selling his car is a common condition that afflicts many modern, ecologically minded drivers. Some call it “carbon guilt� – the shame that operating a gas-guzzling vehicle is contributing to the plight of the Earth’s warming climate.

But Frohnmayer also couldn’t find anything on the market that fulfilled his need to commute around Eugene that was within his price range.

He resented the excessiveness of the standard model; a four-door vehicle is engineered for five passengers but is usually only transporting one or two riders. So he decided to design his own.

Arcimoto has designed eight generations of vehicles in the past nine years. The last three generations have been deemed SRK, named after an early test driver described his ride as similar to “driving a shark.� The SRK acronym is open to interpretation; some say it stands for “Super, Reasonable, Kickass.�

The eighth generation SRK was unveiled last November. It represents a significant generational change for the SRK, as a handlebar replaced the steering wheel, which saved room and allowed for significant weight loss. Thus, the SRK went from 1,750 to 1,023 pounds in one generation.

Arcimoto’s production manager Joe Morgan said the newest SRK is “like a Model T meets a laptop.�

The SRK can only drive 70 miles on a charge, but according to a AAA survey from last year, the average American drives only 29.2 miles per day. At less than $12,000, it’s one of the least expensive electric vehicles on the market.

Arcimoto’s SRK is designed to use fewer resources than a standard car. The three-wheeled vehicle is all-electric.

Arcimoto’s Gen 8 SRK Weight: 1,023 pounds Dual motors located on bottom of vehicle beneath front wheels, making for a low center of gravity.

Top speed: 85 MPH (0-60 in 7.5 seconds) Range: 70 miles on full charge; 130 miles with extended battery pack Price: $11,900

Tesla Motors, another electric vehicle manufacturer, has the same objective as Arcimoto of bringing affordable electric vehicles to the middle-class. However, it’s approaching the problem by providing the luxurious Model S (with a starting price at $69,900) and a battery range of 208 miles, before subsidizing cheaper models in the years to come.

Ryan Lynch, UO product design graduate and head of the Tesla Motors craftsmanship studio, said drivers don’t need to feel ashamed of their gas-powered driving habits.

“You gotta be aware that the current situation of driving a petrol-based car is not going to last forever,” said Lynch, “but I don’t think we’re in the stage of eminence where we need to be concerned about our resources.”

Arcimoto is taking the reverse method with the lower-priced SRK. Frohnmayer would prefer not to wait.

“Do you get there faster if you start serving the super-rich and require massive amounts of capital investments, or do you get there by starting there and taking a long time to get to the starting line?” asked Frohnmayer. “I wasn’t certain that we would ever get to a real product,

that we’d find that needle-in-a-haystack design that made everything actually work.”

There’s something particularly sci-fi about the Arcimoto office and its development bay, and it’s not just the Doctor Who tardis installed in the foyer, or the fact that the SRK looks like something that Harrison Ford’s character from Blade Runner would drive. The futurology of Arcimoto’s character becomes visible when you watch Frohnmayer in his 2012 TEDx talk; he speaks very frankly about how we may not own vehicles in the future, but instead rely upon an Uber-style app that delivers a fleet of self-driving, all-electric cars to chauffeur us around.

“You could be too young, too old, too drunk to drive – no problem,” he said.

In designing the various prototypes, Arcimoto has recruited student talent from the UO’s product design program, who studied how drivers and passengers enter and exit the vehicle.

Last summer, UO product design graduate Collin Lafayette was hired as an industrial designer in the Arcimoto development bay.

Lafayette develops concepts on paper, refines them through computer-aided design and works with vendors to detail model specifics. He

helped assemble some of the body parts for the newest SRK. “Starting with rough sketches and seeing parts I designed come to life in a finished form is really cool,” said Lafayette.

Morgan said Lafayette “learns 17 new things a day.”

Although the number of SRK preorders has not been disclosed, a Jan. 5 comment from Arcimoto’s Facebook page stated, “We have doubled our preorders over the last 12 weeks from [the] last eight years.”

Those who’ve placed pre-orders on SRKs won’t receive them until after production begins near the end of this year. Fillion was an early customer who pre-ordered his SRK in 2011 when it was in its fifth generation.

“He’d been wanting to tell that story for a while,” Frohnmayer said of Fillion’s Conan appearance. “He’s been an enthusiastic and very, very patient early adopter.”

Fillion penned a letter of thanks to Arcimoto soon after he put money down: “Thank you for giving me a way to stick it to big oil and big auto companies. Because I am a vengeful man. And they’ve been sticking it to me for a long time.”

UO club skiing shreds snow during practice — for the first time in years Last weekend, the Oregon club ski team experienced something none of the current members have ever had the chance to do while in college: train on a mountain.

The past few years have not been kind in terms of snow, leading a sport that relies on the whims of weather to be left preparing for races on dry land. With the snow came a historic practice on the slopes of Hoodoo Ski Area.

“When we got up there last weekend it was like ‘We’re doing it, we’re training,’” club captain Megan Ganim said laughing. “It doesn’t usually happen.”

2016’s snow numbers are already well above what was accumulated during last year’s unusually dry winter.

On Jan. 1, the snowpack was 138 percent above normal across Oregon.

“Showing up last year to races without any training was fun,” Julia McInnis said, “but I am excited this year to see the progression.”

Being able to ski on a mountain allows for preparation of the unexpected.

No two courses are the same, but tackling the difficulties of one run can help set up success on another. It’s something that can only be accomplished by making runs.

The plan is to squeeze in a practice every Thursday night between weekend races, which run through March with just one break coming midway through February. The night practices are beneficial because they fit in better with schedules, the slopes are relatively empty and it’s a nice hit of nostalgia for the members who grew up skiing during those hours in middle and high school.

All together, it makes for a busy schedule.

“I took a less intensive course load this term to help balance out the workload,” newcomer Chris Casaceli said.

“But there is time while we are driving to get your homework done. I think if you work hard enough, it’s possible to do it well.”

Every team member finds ways to sneak in homework sessions between races.

“One year we didn’t have Wi-Fi at the house we were staying at for regionals,” Ganim said. “After every race kids were in the coffee shop downtown just finishing up chemistry homework.”

It’s easy for the members to be dedicated to the sport because of how much they enjoy spending time with each other.

“The reason I am still at the University of Oregon is the ski team,” McInnis said. “You get so close, so fast.”

An added bonus is that winter term becomes your favorite — an unusual opinion.

“No one you ask says that they like winter term,” freshman Luci Charlton said.

“So we have a completely different experience.”

People see Oregon as an underdog because it features a smaller team. But last year, the results were positive, and with the additional training, expectations are as high as ever.

“Honestly everyone shreds,” McInnis said. “I’m really excited to see where our team can go.”

The start of the season comes this weekend as the team travels to Mt. Hood Meadows for the first race of the year.

As of Jan. 1, the snowpack was 138 percent above Oregon’s standard.

UO club skiing is taking full advantage.

đ&#x;”Ś news After removing 300 tickets prior to the 2015 football season, the athletics department agreed to an agreement that returns them for 2016.

(Adam Eberhardt)

Students get back lost football tickets Students will receive more football tickets if negotiations between the ASUO Athletics and Contracts Finance Committee and the University of Oregon Athletic Department hold up.

The impending agreement between ACFC and the university athletic department will add 300 football tickets to the student lottery. The agreement will be discussed and possibly finalized at an upcoming budget meeting on Friday, Jan. 15, ASUO Finance Director Shawn Stevenson said.

Stevenson said that negotiations between ACFC and the athletics department has generally been hostile in the past from both sides. He said that students have been overly aggressive with their tactics and that athletics has always pushed for more money. However, negotiations this year went smoothly. “This year, it was constructive negotiations. Both sides have been working to understand each other and do the best for the student body,� Stevenson said.

Last year, negotiations were heated when the athletic department threatened to cut student tickets if it did not receive a 3 percent budget increase. ACFC was unwilling to increase its budget without receiving more tickets.

As a result, 300 of the 5,448 tickets were withdrawn from the student lottery and sold as PAC-12 student season ticket packages.

However, the new agreement will return the 300 tickets that were lost from the student lottery while keeping the season ticket option.

ACFC member Ben Brown said that the athletic department’s revenue growth last year allowed for an increase in student tickets without a need to increase ACFC’s current budget of $1.69 million.

t h u r s D ay, j a n u a r y 1 4 , 2 0 1 6

According to Eric Roedl, the executive senior associate athletic director, the football program generates 70 percent of all athletic revenue and is integral for supporting all other athletic programs. This allows the athletic department to keep costs down for students in their fees. “We get a lot of pressure in our program to be financially self-supporting. We’re not costing our school and peers as much as other schools are,� Roedl said.

Despite the increase in football tickets, Brown said that basketball tickets will remain the same due to a lack of demand from students.

Students currently receive 1,854 tickets for basketball, but those seats are rarely filled with the exception of games against big-name schools like Arizona and USC. ACFC considered negotiating to decrease the amount paid for basketball tickets due to the lack of demand, but it did not want to risk losing any tickets, Stevenson said.

Although there will not be an increase in basketball tickets, Brown is still satisfied with the way negotiations have played out compared to past years. “Athletics has historically been the hardest part for contracts, but this year it has been the easiest. They leveled with students and we really appreciate that,� Brown said.

Roedl says that the athletic department wants to try to reward students for their support as they are an important part of the game day experience. “We value the role of students at athletic events. We want to try to meet the needs of students,� Roedl said.

North Korea, the Middle East, Obama on gun control, Golden Globes and the dark winter

North Korea claims it’s dropping bombs for testing, Saudi Arabia and Iran are on a break, President Obama gets emotional as he (literally) lays down the law for stronger U.S. gun control, the Golden Globes were pure gold and – question – winter got ya down?

When news came out that North Korea allegedly tested out an H-bomb, the world dropped a massive f-bomb.

On Jan. 5, an earthquake was said to have happened in North Korea near a spot that has historically been known as a nuclear testing site. Then, N.K. said nope, it was actually a hydrogen bomb test and the world should know that its nuclear game is on point. South Korea got a bit flustered, while the U.S. shook a finger Kim Jong-un’s way since the territory has been under U.N. sanctions for this exact kind of mumbo jumbo.

As for the Middle East, some shenanigans occurred between Saudi Arabia and Iran. After a Shiite cleric and 46 prisoners were executed in Saudi Arabia on Jan. 2, Iranians became furious and went after the Saudi embassy in Tehran, Iran’s capital.

Ties between the two countries have been cut and Iran’s relationship with countries like Kuwait, Sudan and Bahrain have weakened because of the events – words like, “You can’t sit with us!� were said. All this drama is a result of other deep-set geopolitical issues between Saudi Arabia and Iran; oil, military and religion, to name a few.

On President Obama’s list of concerns are North Korea, Iran and America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia, as well as gun control.

On Jan. 7, our president gave many of us the feels when he spoke on the country’s gun epidemic, specifically mentioning the 26 Sandy Hook Elementary School victims after the mass-shooting in 2012. Obama voiced with a heavy heart that executive action is going to be taken to end the gun violence in America.

After the speech, (insensitive) people took

to the Internet to make fun of the fact that the POTUS cried when he spoke about the murdered children of Sandy Hook. One good thing that came out of people’s ridiculous comments was Trevor Noah’s Daily Show segment on the subject. Snaps for Noah, and his beautiful monologue.

See that thing you’re feeling right now, that pain in your chest that comes from watching someone weep on national television, because he knows that society can do better than to file the shooting of children under ‘shit happens’? That feeling is how you know you’re human. No matter how opposed to Obama’s policies some people may be, or how cynical their politics, they have to at least acknowledge and respect the raw authenticity of that emotion.�

Noah followed with a response to critics claiming Obama’s tears weren’t “believable.�

Are you f***ing kidding me? Shedding tears when you think of murdered children is not really believable? You know what?

There is something here that is not really believable, the fact that the rest of us have to share the title of human being with you.�

Speaking of monologues, the Golden Globes aired on Jan. 10, and so many great things happened.

For starters, the night’s dynamic duos: Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer, Eva Longoria and America Ferrara, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt and always, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The night’s best social media activity: a selfie by Tony Hale posted by Julia LouisDreyfus with the (phenomenal) cast of Veep, a selfie by America Ferrara (with her crew), another squad picture by Eva Longoria, all

“

“

the (deserved) Twitter praise for Leonardo DiCaprio and my personal favorite, a Twit vid

by Liev Schreiber (aka Ray Donovan) pregaming to Selena Gomez where he just wanted to look good for us.

I like to look at the Golden Globes as a sort of pre-Oscars, and since DiCaprio, others from his film The Revenant and the movie itself won big, I think everyone should agree when I say 2016 will be the year of the Leo. Week one has now come and gone here on campus, and hopefully everyone is as settled as the weather. Winter term can be a difficult one to get through with it being so dark in the morning and only brief daylight hours.

This is the time of year when the type of depression called S.A.D., or seasonal affective disorder can creep up on people. It is classified as a very common mood disorder that affects around three million people a year in the U.S., according to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research.

This is not a drill!

Get those happy lamps. Make time for that trivia night. Answer when your family calls.

Start that new Netflix series (to watch after you study). Always eat the dessert (after a well-balanced meal). Take a nap in between classes as a refresher. Ask for help and support whenever you feel like you need it. And make sure you are taking care of yourself in terms of mental peace and physical strength.

Oregon men’s golf head coach Casey Martin was surprised when Kevin Geniza called him last October.

Geniza, a senior at Crescent Valley High School in Corvallis, had previously committed to Santa Clara University, only to decommit right before his senior year began.

Santa Clara initially attracted Geniza for several reasons: the facilities, great playing conditions year round and an opportunity to get a good education.

But, Santa Clara had a couple drawbacks. It didn’t have a coach with Martin’s coaching record and PGA Tour experience. It also wasn’t in a major conference with a schedule as competitive as the Pac-12.

Geniza aspires to play golf professionally, and he felt like Oregon gave him the best chance of doing so. Geniza called Martin to tell him he wanted to be a Duck, joining class of 2016 recruits Roberto Lebrija and Teddy Oitzman.

“I’ve known Casey pretty much through my whole junior career and I know that he’s been a great coach there,” Geniza said. “And Pac-12 golf, there’s no more competitive place to play. It was also a very personal decision, because I knew I needed to see myself advancing my game as far as I can. I could see myself down the road [doing that] at Oregon.”

Likewise, Martin knew who Geniza was. He saw Geniza move up the junior ranks and win back-to-back Oregon 5A boys golf titles for Crescent Valley as a sophomore and junior. When he began recruiting Geniza, Martin said he didn’t need to say much about the university or the team’s national ascension during his tenure.

“It’s part of the whole

package,” Martin said of his team’s appeal to potential recruits. “But with us going to NCAA Championships the last couple years, us hosting this year, [recruits] know that … It sells itself.”

Geniza grew up idolizing current Oregon men’s golfers Sulman Raza, Zach Foushee and Nigel Lett, all of who competed against one another in Oregon junior championships before joining the Ducks.

“It will be pretty awesome to play with a couple of those guys next year and be on their level” Geniza said.

It might not be long before Geniza is playing alongside them. The Ducks will lose two key players after this season in Foushee and Brandon McIver, leaving vacant spots for new players to emerge. Geniza’s goal is to play early as a freshman.

“I’m definitely aiming for that,” Geniza said. “I know that I have tons of maturing and learning to do, but I know that I can get my game up there and I really hope to play as soon as I get there.”

In the meantime, however, Geniza wants to finish his junior golf career strong. In addition to a run for a third consecutive prep title, Geniza will be competing in the US Amateur Four-Ball in May, a team national championship event, with his older brother, Matthew, who also played at Crescent Valley.

Geniza plans to major in business and wants to pursue a golf-related career if he doesn’t play. But first, Geniza intends to see where his golf career can take his future.

“I just want to prepare my game as much as I can before I get to Oregon so I can impact the team and hopefully play right away,” he said.
