Although the Zika virus is not an immediate threat to Oregon residents, it should still be taken seriously according to a University of Oregon researcher.

The Zika virus is a mosquito-borne illness has only affected three people in Oregon. However, the virus may pose a bigger threat than most might think, Dr. Janis Weeks, a UO neurologist and biology professor said.

The Zika virus is carried by mosquitoes, predominantly located in South America, Southeast Asia and Africa.

Mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus are not likely to reach Oregon, but the virus can still be spread through sexual intercourse.

Symptoms of the virus are usually not severe and may even mimic symptoms of the common cold.

Those who come in contact with the disease do not display the sickness’ symptoms 75 percent of the time, and people who have Zika virus can potentially spread it without the realization of doing so, Weeks said. “We don’t know the long-lasting effects of the virus,� Weeks said. “The number of cases is turning this into an emerging problem that needs action.�

Even though the symptoms may not be severe, it can cause long-term neurological damage, especially to infants and fetuses. There have also been subtle signs of neurological damage in children whose parents have come in contact with Zika virus, Weeks said. Researchers are also unsure of how long the virus can affect people, specifically pregnant women.

Dr. Richard Brunader, medical director at the University Health Center, said the danger of the Zika virus is not to be overlooked although it currently does not present a direct threat to UO students. “At this point, there has been no documentation of the mosquito that carries the virus in Oregon; however,

there is risk to students who travel to infected areas as well as international students, depending on the countries they have traveled to,� Brunader said.

“THE NUMBER OF CASES IS TURNING THIS INTO AN EMERGING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS ACTION.�

DR. JANIS WEEKS UO neurologist/biology professor

Brunader also said there is not yet a vaccination or treatment for the Zika virus. Because the symptoms (fever, rash, joint pain, headache) are usually not severe, people who may have Zika virus can take everyday pain relievers for minor discomforts.

Although people with Zika virus cannot yet be treated for the virus itself, it can still be prevented by taking certain precautions when traveling to countries containing the Aedes mosquitoes that carry Zika virus.

If students face a risk of coming in contact with Zika virus, Oregon Public Health talks about a few ways of preventing the virus. They recommend covering exposed skin with long pants and long-sleeved clothing, actively applying mosquito repellent, staying and sleeping in a screened room and using protection when engaging in sexual activities. All this does not mean that students should cancel travel or study abroad plans, but they should take caution when dwelling in mosquito heavy climates.

For the most updated information on the Zika virus, visit the Oregon Public Health or the Center for Disease Control’s website.

Trump comes to town

UO student reports sexual assault at Sigma Phi Epsilon

Man dies at hospital after found with injuries at Alton Baker Park

UO ranked as 42nd out of 50 most LGBT friendly universities in the U.S.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a rally at the Lane Events Center on May 6. The event drew over 3,000 attendees as well as a number of protestors.

There were no arrests or use of force at the event.

Trump mainly stayed on his usual talking points like the border wall, dishonest media and America’s lack of winning.

He also spoke out against Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Look to page 8 for coverage of Trump and Bernie Sanders’ visits to the area.

On May 6, the University of Oregon sent a campus crime alert concerning a report made by a female student.

She reported that she was sexually assaulted late at night on May 5 at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house on Alder Street. “The university is working with the student who reported the event,� said university spokesperson Tobin Klinger.

The student said she doesn’t know the identity of the man who assaulted her, but he had “spikedup� hair and a button-up shirt. UOPD has asked anyone with information to call its dispatch at 541-346-2919.

25-year-old Alexander Delon Davenport died at the Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend after he was found early Wednesday morning with injuries in Alton Baker Park.

Eugene Police Department spokesperson Melinda McLaughlin said the death is being investigated as “suspicious.� The Violent Crimes Unit investigated the scene near the entrance to the park by Day Island Road.

Collegechoice.net included UO on its list of the 50 most LGBT friendly colleges and universities in the United States.

It cited the university’s LGBT support services, the outreach program U Out and a number of student groups. College Choice also pointed to the UO’s gender-inclusive housing and queer studies minor.

EMU MAY OPEN A

FOOD PANTRY BUT PLAN FACES OBSTACLES

➥ TRAN

NGUYEN, @TRANNGNGN

There may be a food pantry in the EMU this fall term thanks to the help of the Radical Organizing & Activism Resource Center.

ROAR has worked on this project since last summer, EMU Board member Lisa Smith said. The goal is to provide an emergency relief food pantry that is accessible to students. “We might have to start out small,� Smith said. “At least we will have an emergency relief food pantry. Getting canned goods will not be too big of an issue.�

A campus food pantry is not unique to the University of Oregon.

According to Sustainability Program Coordinator Eric Beeler, Oregon State University and University of Washington have recently opened up food pantries in their union buildings.

Beeler said three out of 10 UO students reported skipping a meal in the last month, according to the UO Health Center. “This is an asset that our school needs,� Smith said. “Now with the tuition increases happening next year, there is a high chance that more students will be put into a position where they can’t pay for food.�

However, the project is hitting several roadblocks.

An off-campus food pantry, operated by Episcopal Reverend Doug Hale, is currently the sole provider for UO students. The food pantry is located at the corner of 18th Avenue and Onyx Street and only opens for two hours every Thursday.

The 3-year-old food pantry provides a variety of fresh and canned food to at least 105 students per week, Hale said. Most of its food comes from Food for Lane County. Hale said he’s willing to close down his food pantry and donate the refrigerators to ROAR if that means more PA G E 4

accessibility for students. But he’s not sure about the current plan. “Food insecurity is a big problem on this campus,� Hale said. “But right now, I’m not convinced that having the food pantry in the EMU is better.�

Questions about safety were also raised at the board meetings.

Beeler said he’s concerned about violating the fire codes. “If we have 120 people in ROAR’s space, where do they sit in line?�

Beeler said. “I think there is a lot of issues to that.�

At the meeting on April 27, the EMU Board voted to approve the project and promised to help out ROAR in anyway within its authority.

Smith said the board will revise its policy that disallows the installation of hanging shelves on the wall in the EMU. “We want this to happen, but we don’t want to take control over ROAR’s project,� Smith said. “We need to get everyone on the same page to be able to work cohesively together.�

Smith hopes the small start-up this fall will lead to a more substantial service that will open three times a week for students.

UO student Kylie Juggert, a former volunteer at the off-campus food pantry, still goes to the pantry often. “This is a great service that provides a good variety of fresh stuff,�

Juggert said. “It has grown so much since I worked here, but there should be more support from the university.�

UO student Ryan Eustice said he just heard about the food pantry this term. “It’s a shame that not so many people know about [the food pantry],�

Eustice said. “To have the food pantry in the EMU is better, because it’s right in the center of campus, but this is also not too far away.�

TRUMP DRAWS AVID SUPPORTERS, PROTESTERS

hile thousands of enthusiastic supporters cheered Trump inside the convention center, many also stood outside mainly to protest comments he has made about undocumented Mexican immigrants, and cries for “dumping Trump” rang through the streets all evening.

The venue filled with cheers and applause with every point Trump made, such as his promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border (which he assures Mexico will pay for), the dishonest media (which the crowd emphatically booed) and the fact that America doesn’t win anymore.

“Our country is being taken advantage of; we’re being killed in trade … we’re being killed at the border,” Trump said. “And we are going to build a wall, by the way.”

But one protester made his way into the convention center and momentarily delayed the speech.

Trump, as he once instructed a similar protester to do in North Carolina, told him to “go home to mommy.”

Outside, protesters chanted along West 13th Avenue outside the event center.

Mariana Paredones, co-chairwoman of the Oregon Students of Color Coalition, took the helm on the street, leading protesters with her megaphone and encouraging everyone in attendance to be respectful.

“This is an act of resistance,” Paredones told the crowd. “This is an act against racism.”

Before the rally, a Trump supporter donning a red Trump campaign shirt, “Make America Great Again” hat and American flag shorts shouted at protesters behind a black, barbed wire fence through a megaphone of his own.

“You will not stop Donald Trump!” he shouted as he made his way down the length of the fence.

Scores of protesters draped Mexican flags over their shoulders. The message of unity was a popular theme among the protests throughout the evening.

“Immigration reform is OK,” Jose Luis, a father in attendance, told the crowd. “But don’t tell us we are criminals. I’m a father, not a criminal.”

Not every protester was as amiable as Paredones and Luis.

More than one protester referred to Trump supporters as Nazis, telling them that they should be ashamed of themselves and that Trump doesn’t care about them, their families or children.

Protest organizers encouraged the crowds to disperse later that night, but hundreds stayed outside hours after the rally had ended.

“There is a crowd [of Trump supporters],” Paredones told the protesters just before the speech ended. “They are angry and they want to hurt you.”

At one point, police split protesters and supporters up, encouraging them to conduct debates from opposite sides of the street. Despite some police action early in the day, there were no major run-ins between the two sides and no arrests, according to the Eugene Police Department.

Both candidates will be on the ballot when the Oregon presidential primary takes place on May 17.

Alison Scharkey’s time with the UO lacrosse team just ended, but she made a lasting mark..

(Taylor Wilder) After Oregon’s lacrosse season ended April 28 in a loss to Colorado, senior Alison Scharkey worked as a producer the following Monday at the athletic department’s second annual O Show. As a co-director of Oregon’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Scharkey and a team of Ducks spent more than a year planning the ESPY’s-esque award show.

After the show, she flew to Arizona for Pac-12 meetings as one of two Oregon representatives on the conference’s StudentAthlete Leadership Team.

She’s busy, but Scharkey is making the most of her final month at Oregon.

“It really is sinking in that it’s almost over,” Scharkey said. “I’m trying to enjoy the rest of my time here.”

Scharkey’s schedule may be busier than most student athletes, but she finds a way to fit it all in, SAAC co-director T.J. Brassil said.

“She’s one of the leaders in all of athletics,” Brassil said. “She’s poised. She’s someone you want to follow. If I follow behind her, it’s like, ‘I got this.’ “ Scharkey said she’s found many role models in Oregon athletics, including senior women’s administrator Lisa Peterson, assistant athletic director for student athlete development Katie Harbert and former Oregon lacrosse coach Jen Beck.

“All of these women have been such pillars for me,” Scharkey said. “They’ve shown me the way. They’ve been my friend at points and also my mentor. I can’t say enough about them.”

At the O Show, Scharkey won the Jackson Award, which is given annually to an outstanding graduating senior athlete. She traded in her production headset to take the stage for her acceptance speech. Scharkey said O Show awards are made all-themore special knowing they’re voted on by fellow athletes.

“This show encompasses everything,” Scharkey said. “It’s the leading up to it. It’s so many people who add to this ex-

“ALL OF THESE WOMEN HAVE BEEN SUCH PILLARS FOR ME. THEY’VE SHOWN ME THE WAY.” ALISON SCHARKEY UO lacrosse player

perience ... We’ve set the bar high for next year.”

Scharkey, from Yorba Linda, California, also served on the Pac-12’s inaugural SALT committee, which crafts legislation affecting all athletes in the conference.

She enjoyed learning about other Pac-12 schools in those meetings.

“It’s all about student athlete welfare and including them in the conversations,” Scharkey said. “More information helps the committees. I would love to see this continue to grow and get the right people in these positions.”

With her athletic career now over, Scharkey has had time to reflect. She’s leaving Oregon, not only with a degree in public relations, but with a wealth of information about the NCAA and the challenges athletes face nationally.

“I’ve loved nothing more than being here,” Scharkey said. “I’m definitely so bummed that it’s ending, but I feel so prepared for the future.

“That’s because what I’ve done here has prepared me for the next step.”

The Oregon Ducks are returning home to Eugene with a chance to compete for an NCAA Championship.

After securing the five-seed in the Baton Rouge regional last week in Louisiana, the Ducks made sure their season would continue with a fifth place finish over the weekend. The top six teams in the region advance to the national championships.

Oregon got off to a strong start during the opening round. It shot a four-over par (292), led by junior Cathleen Santoso, who shot one-under par (71). Freshman Kathleen Scavo added the second-lowest score of the round, a one-over par (73).

The second day saw Oregon drop several spots but still remain in a position to advance. An eight-over (296) round saw the Ducks fall from third to fifth, but there were some positive takeaways.

Freshman Petra Salko led the Ducks, shooting a one-under par (71).

Oregon used a six-over par (294) performance on the final day to stay securely in fifth place, finishing the tournament at 18-over (882). Santoso was the best

individual performer for Oregon. She tied her low score for the tournament with a one-under par (71) on her way to a oneover par (217) tournament.

Junior Marcella Pranovia, the fifth player in Oregon’s rotation, posted the second-best score for the Ducks, a five-over par (221), and finished tied for 25th overall.

Florida and South Carolina split first place honors, tying at seven-under par (857). Pac-12 foe Washington finished in third at one-under (863), while Duke took fourth at six-over (870). BYU posted a 24over (884) to round out the top six.

The Ducks will now prepare for the NCAA Championships, which will be held at the Eugene Country Club. Oregon, along with the 23 other qualifying schools, will play an opening 72 holes in which the top eight teams will advance to elimination match play.

The championships will run May 20-25.

CIVIL WAR Review: ‘Civil War’ establishes a tone for the Marvel franchise

WHAT TO WATCH FIRST: Iron Man (2008)

Why it’s essential: The one that started it all. Jon Favreau’s Iron Man is one of the best superhero films ever made, and it made the Marvel Cinematic Universe a must-see destination. Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as Tony Stark is unforgettable, and his debut gives him plenty to play with.

Get to know the man behind the iron suit.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Why it’s essential: Set in the heart of World War II, Captain America’s first adventure follows his turn from scrawny Brooklyn kid to the human personification of America. It’s a charmingly old-school picture, applying Marvel’s simple blockbuster charm to the “greatest generation.� Steve Rogers’ arc is the most crucial piece to the Civil War puzzle.

(Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)

➥ CHRIS

BERG, @CHRISBERG25

Since 2008, Marvel Studios has been flying in the face of common Hollywood logic. Eight years later, Captain America: Civil War marks a critical turning point. This is a dense web of narrative that touches nearly every corner of the Marvel universe – a mammoth film that will baffle any newcomers. But for those who have stuck with Marvel’s incredible saga, this may be their greatest achievement. Civil War loses an individual identity but establishes the tone for the next generation of the franchise’s superhero films.

Focusing on the aftermath of both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron, Civil War opens in a world that has come to praise the heroics of the titular team – while fearing the destruction that always seems to follow them. Dense fight scenes that level cities are thrilling in the moment, but leave a trail of carnage that is often forgotten.

It’s a thesis statement that has become increasingly common in the genre (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice tackled it in poor form), though Civil War asks the question from a neutral tone. When heroes step up to save us all, are they responsible for the collateral damage? Should those capable of heroics answer to their conscience, or to society? The questions of Civil War aren’t life altering, yet they add moral complexity to a genre born of ‘heroes’ and ‘villains’. Even after the credits roll, there’s no clean slate ending. The underly-

ing morals have no clear answer, and Civil War respects that.

The brilliance of Civil War rests on the back of nearly a dozen other films, with events from just about every single entry having a meaningful contribution to the story. Civil War has the incredible privilege of never having to introduce its stars or clarify the rules. It leisurely strides through the second act of narrative structure, knowing that payoff will come years down the line in a forthcoming sequel. With that breathing room, new characters and corners of the world are introduced with extreme efficiency. Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has a perfectly established introduction, bypassing the need for another origin story. Chadwick Boseman makes Black Panther into a believable threat with a critical outside viewpoint.

Their potential will leave you breathless, ready for whatever comes next.

With Civil War, directors Joe and Anthony Russo fully take the reigns on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Their last Marvel contribution (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) offered incredible grounded action. With so many extra heroes in play in Civil War, the visceral thrills are traded in for high-flying theatrics. There’s stunning humanity in Civil War’s plot, but very little of it is in the action. Regardless, Civil War stands as Marvel’s most impressive movie ever – one that fulfills the potential of franchise film making.

(Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)

The Avengers (2012)

Why it’s essential: This is where it all comes together. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow and the whole of S.H.I.E.L.D. join forces to fight off an alien invasion in two hours of pure fan service. Joss Whedon directs the ensemble with his trademark sense of humor, resulting in the MCU’s crown gem. A perfect introduction point for Marvel’s more ancillary characters.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Why it’s essential: Now fully integrated into the 21st century, Steve struggles to come to terms with representing a country that may have lost track of its moral center. With memories of his past coming back in physical form, the stakes have never been bigger. This is the most critical film for understanding the motivations underneath Civil War.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Why it’s essential: Now a fully operational fighting force, the iconic team is threatened by a beast of its own creation.

It’s a fine enough film, and it features some charming moments between the core players but doesn’t hit the same passionate highs of the original. The aftermath to Ultron plays a huge role in what divides our heroes in Civil War, so this is an important note to hit.

INTERNATIONAL MEDIA

(Creative Commons)

COVERAGE IS LACKING In the modern era of globalization, it is critical that we are updated on domestic and foreign affairs. Due to the profound effect that terrorist attacks and massive diplomatic changes can have, it was frustrating to hear that U.S. media organizations are severely lacking in international news coverage.

The media are our storytellers, and without them, we would be left with possibly misinformed hearsay.

Following the recent attacks in Brussels, I became aware that several other attacks abroad had not received any U.S. media coverage. While there really is no good explanation as to why international news coverage is lacking, the issue needs to be addressed and solved.

Certain attacks like the suicide bomber incident that occurred in Turkey several days before Brussels receive nowhere near the column inches and air time that are needed for adequate coverage.

With a quick Google search of “Terrorist Attacks 2016,� one can see that five of the stories on the first page of responses are from U.S.-based media, three of which are CNN stories, yet almost every story on that Google page is about either Brussels or the Paris attacks from 2015.

While two U.S. sources address terrorist attacks as a whole, only Public Radio International mentions the attacks that have gone relatively unnoticed. There are even posts that claim to be a timeline of terrorist attacks, such as the one put out by the International Business Times, but omit many recent incidents.

This is not to say that the attacks in Paris and Brussels didn’t deserve coverage 0r that they were not as serious, saddening and important as others, but other attacks around the same time deserved coverage as well.

The media are not entirely to blame for a lack of international awareness among Americans because anyone can do

a few quick Google searches and come up with the information from a source where the event has occurred.

Peter Laufer, the James Wallace Chair at the School of Journalism and Communications, understands that the coverage is out there, but it’s not always right up front. “If, as individual consumers, we make the effort, we can find out what’s going on in the world,� Laufer said.

On the other hand, U.S. media are responsible for delivering updated news to consumers, and the public may not be receiving important information from other parts of the world.

Laufer went on to say that, “We need to have a common curriculum of knowledge that we share with the rest of the world.�

Without international media coverage from many mainstream U.S. media outlets, U.S. consumers cannot share in that common curriculum and therefore we cannot function as we are meant to. “Without a vibrant community of reporters, democracy is jeopardized,� Laufer said.

This should be taken into consideration when any media outlet makes a decision regarding what they won’t cover in terms of international stories such as the attack in Turkey.

While the Istanbul incident serves as a good example of an attack that nearly went unnoticed by the eye of U.S. media, there have been many more attacks placed in similar positions that need to be brought back into the public eye, even if it is a “betterlate-than-never� situation.
