At least 15 printers on campus were hacked on Aug. 1 and printed racist fliers, according to UO officials. The violent and demeaning message was signed by “Weev,â€? the screen name of Andrew AuernÂheimer, who created waves of controversy in March when he hacked thousands of printers on campuses across the nation. “[Auernheimer] will find any publicly accessible printers out there – even banks and stores – wherever with printers to blast this stuff out and hope it sticks,â€? UO Chief Information Security Officer Will Laney said. But Auernheimer’s actions probably won’t be prosecuted as a hate crime. Instead, he could face charges under a law designed to prevent telemarketers from sending junk mail via fax machine. Auernheimer could be charged for violating the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, Northeastern University law professor Andrea Matwyshyn told Forbes in April. This law prohibits using “any telephone facsimile machine, computer or other device to send to a telephone facsimile machine an unsolicited advertisement.â€? Matwyshyn said Auernheimer could be charged $500 per flier. The message calls for “extreme violenceâ€? against people of color. It went on encouraging “the killing of children,â€? which it said is “completely in line with the poems that founded European morality.â€? “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children. We must secure this by
any means necessary. Our enemies have made it clear: us or them. Let it be us. White genocide cannot continue,â€? the letter states. UO Outdoor Program Operation Coordinator David Villalobos, whose printer was hacked, said he felt unsafe when he read the message on Aug. 1. “At first I thought it was somebody just doing research, but the more I read into it, the more absurd it got,â€? Villalobos said. “Being a person of color, with children and with my wife being Jewish, this is a problem.â€? Auernheimer made his first attack in March, hacking over 100 printers. Officer Laney said the university has taken proactive steps to minimize the hack since the incident. “We did block so many printers since the last episode,â€? Laney said. “We’re also working with departments to locate all the printers to block them.â€? The affected printers were not set up with a password and were open to public access, Director of Strategic Engagement and Communications Kelly McIver said. University of Oregon Police Department is not looking further into the case, as AuernÂheimer took responsibility for the message the next day on Twitter. Laney encourages departments on campus to contact the Information Security Office to secure printers and prevent unauthorized printing. B y T ran N g u y en , @ t r a n n g n g n

One of Zimbabwe’s most iconic musicians and activists, Thomas Mapfumo, provided a revolutionary soundtrack for the social unrest against the government and president Robert Mugabe. Mapfumo coined and pioneered the musical genre Chimurenga (a word that means “liberation� in a Shona language), characterized by its political dissent and rallying cry for social rights. He sought political asylum from Zimbabwe and Mugabe, and has lived in exile in Eugene ever since. Last year, he and his band the Blacks Unlimited put out the album Danger Zone.

UO law grads who raised the bar
Minoru “Min� Yasui
Stood up for Japanese-American citizenship and the end to internment during WWII Two years after he graduated from UO’s law school, Minoru Yasui walked into a Portland police station and demanded to be arrested. It was Dec. 14, 1941, and the U.S. government had made it illegal for Japanese-Americans — US citizens or not — to be outside between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Yasui wanted to change that. He was arrested, and his case eventually reached the Supreme Court in Yasui v. United States, which resulted in a unanimous ruling that restricting civilian lives during war is unconstitutional. In 2015, Minoru Yasui posthumously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award a civilian can receive in the United States. Recipients of the medal include Martin Luther King Jr., Caesar Chavez, and Rosa Parks. Yasui, who died in 1986, spent his life fighting for citizenship rights for Japanese-Americans. “A military order distinguishing one citizen on one hand, [and] another citizen on the basis of (Photo courtesy of UO School of Law)

ancestry [on the other hand] was absolutely wrong,� Yasui said. Lauren Kessler, author and journalism professor at UO, wrote and published a book on Yasui and his family in 1993 titled Broken Twig. During her research, she met Yasui, and described him as quiet, deeply intelligent and selfless. “You knew you were in the presence of somebody who was important. He was all the more important because he didn’t think of himself as important,� Kessler told the Emerald. He attended UO for his law degree, graduating in 1939. This year, UO established a fellowship in his honor. UO law student Weston Nakamura-Koyama is the first to receive the fellowship. Nakamura-Koyama has spent time studying Yasui and believes he was a patriot, despite his country’s mistreatment of Japanese-Americans. “It was precisely because of his loyalty to United States that he felt that he could basically bring himself forward as a test case,� Nakamura-Koyama said.
RON WYDEN
Fighting for openness in government and the internet Democrat Ron Wyden has served as Oregon’s state senator since 1996. Before his career in Washington, Wyden graduated from UO’s law school in 1974. A free and open internet is important to Wyden. He was one of the first to speak out against the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which was designed to crack down on pirated content but, Wyden argued, was a government overreach. After an Internet backlash, SOPA was voted down in 2012. “The Internet has become an integral part of everyday life precisely because it has been an open-to-all land of opportunity where entrepreneurs, thinkers and innovators are free to try, fail and then try again,� Wyden wrote in an open letter on his website. The state senator also prioritizes transparency in the US government: He partnered with Senator Rand Paul, pushing to declassify the CIA Inspector General’s 9/11 report. The Geolocation Privacy and Surveillance Act, co-introduced by Wyden, which is set to go on the floor in Congress this legislative session. It limits government surveillance use, including cell-phone GPS signal locating. Wyden has also worked to protect the Northwest’s wilderness, writing laws that have extended Wilderness protections to more than 400,000 acres. He has served as the chair of the Senate Energy Committee and the Senate Finance Committee during his tenure in the Senate. (Phot courtesy of Creative Commons)

On Monday, 104 new students started classes at the University of Oregon’s law school. They’ll be following in the footsteps of these defining UO law school alumnae.
Ellen Rosenblum Inspiring women in law
Greg Dotson Changing the future of energy
Ellen Rosenblum made history when she became Oregon’s first woman Attorney General in 2012. She earned her undergraduate degree in 1971 and her law degree in 1975 — both from the University of Oregon. After school, Rosenblum practiced law for 14 years, worked as a federal prosecutor then served a combined 22 years as both an appellate and trial judge. The transition from a judge to politician allowed Rosenblum to contribute to society in a new way, said Kamala Shugar, assistant attorney in charge at the Oregon Department of Justice and one of Rosenblum’s mentees. Rosenblum was prohibited from being political as a judge; when she was elected Attorney General, she was allowed to start voicing her positions on policy. “She felt like all of a sudden she could speak her mind and be political,” Shugar said. She took strong stances for medical marijuana and against predatory lending practices. Before marijuana was legal, Rosenblum promised in her campaign to make marijuana enforcement a low priority and protect the rights of medical marijuana patients. Rosenblum will be in Eugene for the UO Law Alumni weekend to receive the John E. Jaqua Distinguished Alumnus Award. Rosenblum has been “tireless” in mentoring young lawyers all her career, Shugar said and she also helped establish Oregon Women Lawyers.
Greg Dotson, who graduated from the University of Oregon School of Law in 1995, is best known for his work with energy and environmental policy. He participated in the investigation of the BP Deep Horizon oil spill and is the vice president for energy policy at the Center for American Progress, a public policy think tank in Washington, D.C. But his post-graduate success hasn’t made Dotson forget about his roots. Students such as Chad Marriott, who graduated from the UO School of Law in 2009, owe their first professional opportunities to Dotson. Dotson called UO in 2007, setting up an internship for Marriott with the House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. “He didn’t reach out to any other school,” Marriott said. “It was him personally who reached out to the law school.” Marriott has built a successful practice representing energy development projects. Helping students get their start in the field is only a fraction of what Dotson has accomplished since his graduation from the UO School of Law in 1995. He and Marriott helped put together the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, which is trying to reduce petroleum use by 20 percent each year until 2020 — which would have a similar impact to taking 28 million cars off the road. Marriott describes Dotson as thoughtful, soft-spoken and measured. “If you bring him into a room where … the people there are really interested in environmental issues,” Marriott said, “they listen.”

đ&#x;”Š music Four ways to get into Eugene’s music scene. ➥ Daniel
Bromfield, @bromf3
Eugene doesn’t see as much live music as it should; a lot of major bands skip over our humble town, stopping in Portland and San Francisco but nowhere in between. But scanning the local music listings to see what’s coming to bars and venues will only give you a cursory overview of what Eugene has to offer musically. Eugene has had a vibrant house show scene for as long as it’s had houses and bands, and the tradition remains strong today.
(Emerald Archives)

House shows are what they sound like: shows at any space where people live, whether that is someone’s basement or a co-op like the Campbell Club that regularly hosts events. There are even houses scattered around town that have turned themselves into miniature venues.
These shows are often free, generally wilder, boozier and more unhinged than your typical bar or venue show. Don’t look for any famous names, though: these are usually locals-only affairs, occasionally with a little-known touring band thrown in. There’s a catch: house shows don’t usually promote themselves due to the fact that they’re generally in residential areas and likely to generate noise complaints. The more people who attend, the noisier the event, so house venues won’t exactly be calling up the local papers to buy some ad space. But if you’ve been around enough and know the right people, it’s pretty easy to integrate yourself into the house show scene. Here are a few pointers on doing so.
Seek out local bands. Local bands, big and small, can generally be found playing at bars or opening for bigger bands at places like the WOW Hall or Hi-Fi Music Hall. University events like the Willamette Valley Music Festival and Campus Block Party are also great places for local bands to cut their teeth.
2
Follow those bands on Facebook. Bands generally promote their house shows. Be warned, though: Many house shows are small and exclusive, so don’t expect bands to tell you everything.
Get to know people in the music scene. If you want to catch every last house show in town and be one of those “five people� who bands bring to private parties, talk to the bands or people in the crowd. Where there are local bands, there are often booking agents, fellow musicians, venue owners and other insiders. Also, bars usually don’t have “backstages,� so bands will typically mingle with the crowd when they’re not packing up their gear.
4
Start a band! If you’ve got the ambition, it’s easy to make it in the Eugene scene, though you probably have to follow some of the prior steps to make enough connections to get gigs. You might be thinking: “But I don’t have the talent or training!� First off, talent doesn’t exist. Second, anything goes at house shows. If your band is just you and your friends squeaking straws through drink cup lids around a microphone, people will probably still dance.

Solutions:
Take a step forward; change the names
(Emerald Archives)
➥ E m i ly
O l s o n , @ e m i ly y y _ O l s o n n n
An important population of students are offended that two UO buildings are named for historical figures who held racist views. Roughly a year after the Black Student Task Force demanded that UO President Michael Schill rename Deady and Dunn Halls, the community is still debating whether the names should be changed, but Schill has indicated that the decision is coming soon. I read the university-sanctioned report on the history of Frederick S. Dunn and Matthew P. Deady, and I think the solution here is to change the names. There are plenty of people who disagree with me, and that’s fine — as long as they did their civic duty to research, debate and weigh the facts. It’s one thing to respond with a personal decision about Dunn and Deady’s morality; I personally felt conflicted about Deady’s racist actions after reading how they tied to his jurisprudential views as a judge upholding the constitution. But it’s another thing to skirt around the question using arguments that lack legitimacy, relevancy or evidence. These weak arguments are floating around, and it’s time someone pointed them out: 1. It’s just a name. We could be doing more important things. I agree. We could be taking actions such as
establishing scholarship programs, hiring black faculty and increasing black student enrollment (not coincidentally, all changes the BSTF wants). But we have to start somewhere, and this is a quick step — a symbolic gesture — to get us going in the right direction. Besides, we’ve already started; this isn’t a valid reason to be against it now. 2. We’re erasing the past and ignoring our bad beginnings. What gives students the right to overturn history? Is it really the same thing? The record of Frederick Dunn and Matthew Deady will still be public and unmasked for those who want it. Changing a building’s name won’t alter its historical significance. In the university setting, to name a building after someone is to honor them. There’s a difference between ignoring history and refusing to venerate it any longer. We rename buildings frequently, and it’s often for a less noble cause. One example is Anstett Hall in Lillis Business complex, which changed from Gilbert Hall in 2011 because of a donation, according to the UO website. 3. If we give in here, where do we stop? We’ll have to change all public names to boring ones so we don’t offend people. This is a textbook example of the slippery slope
rhetorical fallacy, but I’ll play along anyway. I’m a fan of bland names. Think about the numerical street system in Eugene; no one complains because it’s great for stress-free navigation. I’d have a much easier time finding ‘The Oldest Building’ than I did finding ‘Deady Hall.’ In seriousness: We’re talking about two buildings here. There’s no evidence to show it’ll influence all public names ever. 4. Deady and Dunn did some good things — why focus on the bad? Who are we to judge them by modern standards? This argument is perhaps the most valid — in Deady’s case more than Dunn’s. Determining one’s moral worth is a messy, subjective business. It’s worse here as both figures have been dead for decades, and their beliefs were shaped by social norms of their eras. But a university is the very place to tackle moral questions because we have the proper tools for the job: logic, discussion and open minds. It’s a privilege and it comes with responsibility. To say we won’t tolerate racist views in any capacity is to encourage the next generation to do the same. It’s a small change in the way we view our past, but it’s a big step toward the equitable future we should be striving for.

Put Together Your
COLLEGE AID KIT
This is not your parent’s first-aid kit. Yes, you should include the basic first-aid staples like band aids, ibuprofen and allergy medicine (even if you have never had allergies before, you probably will now that you live in the toxic polinated Willamette valley)
Schmirnoff Ice six-pack This is not for you to drink on a Wednesday night after your exam. This six-pack is for you to get back at your friends. Ice your friends by putting these diabetes inducing malt beverages in inclosed spots where your friends will be sure to open. If you don’t know what icing is, Youtube it!
Duck tape Edward 40 hands or taping your text book back together, having duck tape on hand is a must.
Condoms Stay protected, get tested and make smart decisions about your sex life. The University of Oregon Heatlh Center has free condoms in their lobby, so there is no excuse not to have an ample supply of them.
Rainboots Half of the year is spent sludging through the muddy puddles of campus, so make sure you have a good sturdy pair of stylish boots that will repel the incessant Oregon downpour.
Life-proof Phone case You will drop your phone. No matter how careful you may be, it’s going to happen, so why not be prepared? Save yourself the hassle of setting up a new phone away from home by taking preventative measures with a sturdy phone case.

DAY TRIPS
Get out and enjoy the last days of Oregon’s fleeting summer heat.
The Oregon coast town of Florence
The Mount Pisgah Arboretum Living Tree Museum
Just over an hour from Eugene, this small town offers a beautiful selection of coastal beaches, along with affordable dining and quaint shops. For those who wish to travel farther up the coastline, the famous Cannon Beach is unbeatable for its naturalgeographic wonder and sprawling beaches.
This Oregon oasis stretches 209-acres. The arboretum is full of riverside trails through evergreen forests, a water garden abundant with life, meadows of fluorescent wild flowers and open vistas of wide oak savannas. Located at the Howard Buford Recreation Area at 34901 Frank Parrish Rd, the park is open seven days a week from 6am to 7pm.
Hike Tamolitch Falls
Winery Tours: King’s Estate Winery
Known as Blue Pool, take a hike to see the clearest, bluest waters of the McKenzie River and be sure to take photos by the waterfall. This is about an hour and 15 minute drive and the hike is a four mile mellow treck on the longer 26 mile trail.
Glimpses of Oregon
If you are willing to splurge on a good meal, visit King’s Estate Winery for an incredible dinner in an estate with a breathtaking view. This is Oregon’s only winery with a full restaurant and their food is some of the best in the area. If you want to explore the area’s other wine selection, there are more than 16 vineyards with tasting rooms within 20 minutes from town.

DEXTER LAKE
By: Hunter Shannon
The quaint country towns, lush hills and beautiful reservoir of Dexter Lake is just a short trip southeast of Eugene. Here, you can escape the summer rays and enjoy the cool lake water, shaded disc golf, hiking trails and rustic restaurants of Pleasant Hill, Lowell and Dexter. The crowded rivers of the “inner-city” and the public pool hangouts for tweens and toddlers are enough to make anyone feel that the only way to escape the heat is to hideaway in some airconditioned building. But trust me, the short drive out to Dexter Lake’s Atlantis blue water is a much more appealing alternative.
20 minute drive
Where to go: There are variety of swimming spots that surround Dexter Lake but the your closest point with the most amenities is Dexter State Park. One of the top frisbee golf courses in the state is attached to this park and the wooded course makes for a beautiful setting and a challenging game. Every Sunday till the beginning of October, the park hosts a farmers market with fresh local produce and prepared food to enjoy while you swim, hike, boat and play disc golf.
Dining: If you leave town while the sun is still breaking the horizon, make sure to stop at the Sunrise Cafe in Pleasant Hill for a filling and inexpensive diner-style breakfast. The breakfast/lunch joint opens at the early 6:30 am sunrise and closes at 2 pm. For those of you who want food on your way back into Eugene, definitely stop at the Countryside Pizza. They have a pool table, a small arcade, sports on the big screen TVs, a nice salad bar and great family style pizza.
Getting there: Hop on I-5 south and take the exit for OR-58. You will pass Pleasant Hill high school and the turn off for Dexter State Park is only six miles further on your left. The turn off is not well marked so it is easy to overshoot it; just know that if you see the reservoir, you have gone too far. The park is located just a couple minutes before you can see the nice blue water.

END OF SUMMER DAZE
READING
By: Laurel Sturgis O’Coyne
With so few days of summer left before school starts again, you might be feeling as if reading is the last thing you want to do while the weather’s still nice. However, this end-of-summer list is designed to inspire you to read something that you may not get to pick up throughout the school year. Whatever your flavor, whatever your commitment, this list is meant as a reminder that reading can be fun and inspiring - at least when you don’t have grades and deadlines hanging over your head!
WATCHMEN BY: ALAN MOORE AND DAVE GIBBONS (DC COMICS 1986)
Deeper than most superhero comics, this graphic novel deftly blends American history and sci-fi fantasy in a way that will change your view of ‘objective reality’ forever. The characters, the artwork and the narrative all work to construct a frightening and awesome vision of the outcomes of heroic actions.* *The movie is NO substitute for reading the novel!
THE POWER OF HABIT: WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO IN LIFE AND BUSINESS BY: CHARLES DUHLGG (DOUBLEDAY 2012)
Award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg offers a scientifically-derived mode of taking control of your life through an enlightened understanding of the power of habit. Whether you seek to strengthen your own career or academic prowess, or you wish you had more self-control over things like health and fitness, this book shows how habits can be both helpful and harmful. It suggests ways in which you can overcome or exploit the power of your own habits as well as others’ in order to strengthen yourself.
STILL LIFE WITH WOODPECKER BY: TOM ROBBINS (BANTAM BOOKS 1980)
My all-time favorite, this novel is light and funny while also creating a world of mystery, intrigue, satire and political drudge. It will make you laugh, and it might even make you cry. With its clever intertwining of philosophy and storytelling, connected through Robbins’ exiled-princess protagonist and her hilarious band of friends, family, and lovers, it will certainly make your jaw drop.
YOUR HEART IS A MUSCLE THE SIZE OF A FIST BY: SUNIL YAPA (BOUDREAUX/LITTLE BROWN & CO. 2016)
This fictional novel is set during the tumultuous and violent 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle. Based on true events, the author deftly constructs plural fictionalized perspectives on the events and connects disparate lives within a seamless and enthralling narrative.
MODERN ROMANCE BY: AZIZ ANSARI WITH ERIC KLINENBERG (PENGUIN 2015)
This nonfiction gem is brought to you by comedian Aziz Ansari, who enlists the help of a sociologist to try to understand today’s dating scene. A New York Times bestsellers list staple, this hilarious take on love in the age of social media is a must for any millennial—as well as anyone trying to wrap their heads around the complexities and absurdities of modern dating.
