SAFE RIDE KEEPS STUDENTS SAFE BUT FACES CHALLENGES

The Safe Ride shuttles provided almost 15,000 rides last academic year. (Emily Olson)

Safe Ride, an “assault prevention service,” plays an important role in shuttling the University of Oregon community for free, despite looming challenges.

The shuttle service’s recent history of budget issues factors into the increasing number of riders the shuttle service has to turn away every year. Still, Safe Ride gives roughly 15,000 rides to UO students, staff and faculty members per year.

“We’re one of the first programs like this,” said Safe Ride’s scheduling director, Rilee Dockins. “We’ve had a few other schools reach out to us in the past year looking to implement similar services.”

According to its website, Safe Ride’s mission is to “provide inclusive, safe and accessible alternatives to traveling alone at night.” The service aims never to turn away riders and encourages volunteers and staff to use gender-neutral pronouns.

But Safe Ride wasn’t always so inclusive. The service was founded in 1985, giving rides solely to women. In 1988 and 1995, Safe Ride faced a lawsuit and formal grievance for gender discrimination. In 2001, it expanded to provide rides to men.

Remnants of Safe Ride’s roots are tangible today. Its office — shared with a pro-choice student organization, Students for Choice — is located in the Women’s Center. The shuttle service works

in tandem with events like Take Back the Night and trains its staff on current issues related to sexual assault nationwide and at UO, such as mandatory reporting.

The Emerald participated in a ride along on Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. During that time, 12 riders were transported in one of two vans, a low to normal amount for midweek, according to Dockins. All of the riders were female.

The first two riders said they were freshmen heading to Valley River Center to get their nails done for sorority recruitment events.

While it might seem on the surface like students would abuse the shuttle, Dockins said every ride stays true to Safe Ride’s mission. One of the freshmen riders, Jamie Arnold, said she first used the shuttle Monday night because “some creepy guy” was following her.

“Being a preventative organization, you never know what could have happened had we not given someone a ride,” Dockins said. “There are some people who use us every day, or people who call and say, ‘I’m sorry, I know I’m not going far.’ But we don’t want people to feel sorry for using us.”

The shuttle is funded by mandatory student incidental fees, and its budget is controlled by the Associated Student of UO.

Dockins named the budget as Safe Ride’s biggest challenge. In the 2015-16 school year, Safe Ride reported giving 13,688 rides but turning away some 5,943 rides.

“We do have a limit to how many rides we can give based on the size of our budget,” Dockins said. “How many people we can staff per night determines the number of vans we can run and then that determines how many rides we can give.”

Safe Ride currently owns four vans but typically runs only two or three a night, Dockins said.

The service does receive student volunteers from the Women and Gender Studies program, but they work infrequent hours on weekends.

Safe Ride was granted an additional $8,000 from ASUO in May but used that money to develop a web-based application in partnership with the Designated Driver Shuttle service.

The application is “still under works,” according to Dockins.

When ASUO granted Safe Ride those funds, a few of the senators voiced concerns that the money would be better spent expanding staffing or vans.

Dockins said she expects Safe Ride’s budget to remain the same this year.

Deepwater Horizon Film Poster (Creative Commons)

“Deepwater Horizon” is powerful but problematic DANA ALSTON

➡

Biopics are tricky. Striking a respectful, non-exploitive tone in a film about real events involving real people is challenging and will remain so as long as the genre exists. Director Peter Berg and writers Matthew Michael Carnahan and Matthew Sand must have known this during the making of Deepwater Horizon. Every frame unflinchingly portrays the worst oil rig disaster in U.S. history, but few beats feel unmerited.

Watching it all unfold is a visceral experience, but the intensity is matched by a commitment to recognize genuine heroism.

It is this commitment that saves the film from its minor but unmistakable flaws.

The film follows a team of oil rig workers on the titular Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling unit, led by Jimmy Harrell (Kurt Russell) and Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg). On a routine assignment, it becomes clear to both men that safety protocols and procedures have been preempted due to growing pressure from upper management (led by John Malkovich) to keep operations on schedule. Harrell is furious but eventually bows to the power of his superiors and opens the rig for drilling. Work is cut short when an explosion and resulting oil spill engulfs the entire platform in flames, turning a minor inconvenience into a life-threatening nightmare for the entire crew.

Berg and his screenwriters commit a great deal of running time to creating an atmosphere of dread. This film does not exist in a vacuum, and odds are most of the audience will enter the theater knowing what happened. This reality makes the buildup of watching characters make mistake after mistake even more effective.

To that end, Berg takes great care in creating camaraderie between

the crew members. Dialogue bounces back and forth across decks and hallways, and long, panning shots display a rig hard at work; it provides just enough characterization for these people to matter.

That makes the inevitable disaster unbearable. It’s possible to feel the tension in the air build for at least half an hour before the shoe drops.

And what a drop it is. Once the horrific events of the day begin to unfold, it’s easy to be consumed by the experience. Flames leap out from every corner of the frame while low rumbles and earthshattering blasts fill the air. It’s impossible to look away. This film exists from the gut, and it will rattle you to the core. It is also technically flawless, using stunning visual and aural craft.

Like the machinery itself, Deepwater Horizon’s flaws exist deep below the surface. Peter Berg is a well-documented patriot; his last few films didn’t skimp out on epic, well-framed shots of a triumphant American flag. This one is no exception.

But by displaying the symbol of the U.S. in front of horrific, flaming wreckage, what is he hoping to accomplish? A commentary on corporate greed sounds too disrespectful and a mediation on heroism too simple-minded. And while the characters are deliberately barebones, Williams’ climactic acts of bravery feel slightly unearned from a narrative standpoint, even with a solid amount of time dedicated to establishing the importance of his family.

Still, aesthetic brilliance and narrative restraint may be enough for some to overlook Horizon’s pitfalls. While its greatness is up for debate, its importance in recognizing the true power of that day’s events is unmatched.

DANIEL BROMFIELD, @BROMF3

When Allison Del Fium first came to University of Oregon from Los Angeles, she wondered if she’d made the right decision. “I’d always been around musicians, people who knew about the entertainment industry,� the lifelong musician said. “I came to Eugene and was like ‘What do I do?’�

She soon met fellow student Desmond Harvey, who fell in love with the music industry after a trip to Texas music festival South by Southwest and was working on a club for students hoping to get a leg up in the music biz.

Del Fium is now vice president of public relations for the UO Music Industry Collective, which holds its first meeting on Oct. 5, at 6 p.m. in Lillis 212.

MIC hopes to help students make connections in the music industry by booking guest speakers and posting internship and job opportunities on its website, www.theuomic.com.

MIC has a spate of guest speakers lined up, including December Carson, former manager of Portland indie stars The Decemberists, who will speak at the group’s first meeting.

The club hopes to book guestspeaker musicians in the future and even live performances.

MIC leaders emphasize that the group’s focus is as much on making music industry connections as helping music fans meet fellow students with common interests. “Coming from a membership perspective, I want people to come to the

MIC either knowing they’re gonna get a job opportunity or knowing they’re gonna make friends,� said Membership Vice President Bobby Schenk.

Like Del Fium, Schenk had trouble finding people to share his love of music with when he first came to UO from Colorado Springs, Colorado. After meeting Harvey through Oregon’s campus radio station KWVA and helping others to get the MIC rolling, Schenk says they’re “all buddies� now. “Harvey brought us together February to start planning this,� said Schenk. “We had all of spring term to hammer out the constitution.�

Harvey graduated before the first meeting, but the group has attracted considerable online interest; 56 people have RSVP’d on the first meeting’s Facebook event page.

MIC hopes to attract not only students interested in the music industry but musicians seeking to promote their own bands, especially in Eugene, a town with a small entertainment industry. “In a place like L.A., you can have no connections and be a small fish in a big pond,� said Del Fium. “Here you have an opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond.�

But, as MIC president Aidan D’Angelo said, “You don’t have to be a music god to join this club.� “This isn’t about ‘You’re gonna work at the Grammys if you join this club,’� said D’Angelo. “It’s about getting people together who aspire to those goals.�

hen University of Oregon sophomore Sara Bass reached for the textbook Essential Clinical Anatomy at the UO Duck Store on the first Monday of classes, the $89.69 price tag didn’t faze her. She knew her books would be expensive, but she viewed them as “a necessary evil.�

Bass is not alone; this year, the average UO undergraduate will spend $1068 on books and supplies, $54 more than last year, according to estimates made by the UO financial aid office. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates textbook prices have risen 88 percent in the past 10 years.

Students and bookstores want to cut costs, but publishers are raising prices to offset declining revenue.

The Duck Store subsidizes the cost of books with revenue from its sportswear sales by providing 10 percent off new books and up to 32 percent off used books, according to Katie Conway, Duck Store marketing director. But Conway says that this practice is rare in collegiate bookstores across the country.

Students and professors say the rising cost of textbooks is further straining the finances of those already facing higher tuition.

UO economics professor of practice Tim Duy is taking matters into his own hands. “I am writing up notes for [my] class because I am not willing to tolerate the high prices unless the textbook really adds value,� Duy said in an email to the Emerald. “In my honest opinion, too often they don’t. I am not in the business of making other professors rich at the expense of my students.�

What’s causing the rise?

Although The Duck Store is a nonprofit and has various programs attempting to reduce the cost of textbooks, prices from textbook publishers keep

climbing, said Bruce Lundy, team leader at The Duck Store.

Publishers are increasing prices in the face of innovative forms of textbook sales such as bookstores with rental programs, online publishers and used-book wholesalers.

Amazon entered the textbook market a decade ago and often undercuts its competition. For instance, the online retailer charges $21.77 less for the Essential Clinical Anatomy textbook than The Duck Store. But unlike Amazon, book publishers are often required to raise prices in order to stay profitable, and that means higher prices for places like The Duck Store.

Gates expects this trend to continue in the following few years but believes that eventually a leveling off will occur, and The Duck Store will see stabilized year-to-year revenue, he said in an email.

How does The Duck Store help control costs?

The Duck Store continues to look for ways to keep textbook prices in check, but assistance from sports apparel sales is impacted by declining revenue.

According to 990 income tax forms, revenue for The Duck Store hit $42.9 million in 2010, but sales have declined to $29.8 million in 2014 – a $13.1 million drop. “Some of the contributing factors are fan fatigue (unsustainable football success), increased competition, changes in consumer behavior in general,� Jeremy Gates, the chief financial officer for The Duck Store, wrote in an email.

Another way The Duck Store is curbing costs for students is a textbook scholarship known as Book Awards. Nearly $170,000 has been awarded in over 10 years since the program began. Twenty-five students each term are awarded the $200-300 gift card to be used on books and supplies. The store uses a lottery system when selecting students,

*

*annual

32% and Gates is one of the store employees that personally hands students a gift card.

“It’s always fun to get to play Santa Claus, so to speak, and brighten the day of someone,” Gates wrote in an email.

The Duck Store also offers a rental program for students, but this option isn’t always the cheapest. For instance, if the rental book is damaged, a student may need to pay for the book’s replacement. Employees are the ones that make the call on whether a book is too far gone.

“When I last rented, the bookstore wouldn’t take [the rental] back because of minor damage,” wrote sophomore Sara Bass in an email. “I had to pay more.”

The ebook option

As the Duck Store team leader, Lundy helps make ebooks more readily available for students. This option, typically less expensive than purchasing a printed book, helps students save money but cuts into publisher profits. To offset these losses, some publishers have begun selling directly to instructors, sidestepping college bookstores such as The Duck Store.

One ebook publisher, Greater River Learning Publishing, provides college students and faculty with “more engaging publications by integrating multimedia and technology,” according to its website. Six University of Oregon Instructors currently use Great River Learning as course material, according to the GRL website.

A recent report from the Student Public Interest Research Groups claims these

publications, ones which require “access codes,” are monopolizing textbooks. Students are required to purchase the access codes or suffer a failing grade due to the inability to participate in online activities, according to the report.

“In one swoop, the publishers remove a student’s ability to opt-out of buying their product, eliminate any and all competition in the market and look good doing it because the codes are cheaper than publishers’ exorbitantly priced textbooks,” Ethan Senack, higher education advocate at the Student PIRGs, said in a blog for the Huffington Post.

The Duck Store is working on another solution. A new program would provide classes with “inclusive access” textbooks to keep up with new trends in market demand, Lundy said. Students who take a course using this new online textbook service would be provided with the digital format on the first day of class. It would potentially be cheaper than purchasing a new textbook, but if a student found a more affordable option, he or she would be able to opt-out of the program, according to Lundy.

Lundy says this program is still in the planning stages but he hopes to have it come to fruition by winter term.

For the 25 students per term who receive The Duck Store’s $200-300 scholarship, some help is readily available. The scholarship is a step toward helping students afford textbooks, but the rising costs for some can be the difference between a class and a meal.

Ducks Defense Defeated in every way against Washington State ➡ JACK

BUTLER, @BUTLER917

Catch play by play coverage with the Emerald:

@ODESPORTS

The Oregon defense looks lost.

Whatever the Washington State Cougars called on offense, it worked.

Washington State has an air raid offense, but the team ran the ball with ease against an Oregon front seven that struggled all night. The Cougars entered the game with 410 rushing yards on the season but gashed Oregon for 280 yards Saturday night.

“The thing that upsets me the most is giving up all the rushing yards,” said defensive coordinator Brady Hoke. “We tried to be as simple as we could with this plan because of what they do. ... It worked on a number of possessions, but we weren’t consistent enough with it.”

Missed assignments and tackles plagued the Ducks in the running game.

Washington State averaged a staggering seven yards per carry and scored six rushing touchdown.

The Cougars had five scores on the ground all season coming into Saturday’s matchup.

A nonexistent Oregon pass rush gave quarterback Luke Falk time to dissect the Oregon offense for 371 yards passing, which set up the run game. It was a positive feedback loop for the Washington State offense. Falk was rarely pressured

by Oregon defenders on his way to completing 75 percent of his passes.

“You can drop eight and try and lock down everything,” Hoke said. “We did a little of everything.”

Rex Manu and Justin Hollins were the two Ducks to record a sack, but as a

defense, Oregon only recorded five tackles for loss during the game, three of which came from defensive backs.

“When you give up 600 and something yards, and half of it is rushing and half of it is passing, I don’t know who was tough today,” Oregon secondary coach John Neal said. “I thought they were tough.”

The Oregon defense feels like a rotating wheel of problems. Certain games they rush the passer well, while others they do a better job of stopping the run.

“You walk in and you think you prepared well,” Neal said. “When we can’t stop the run, it’s really like, ‘woah’ when you don’t have answers. And then some of the answers we had, they shredded us.”

Even four weeks into the season, tackling was a big issue for the teams.

Starting linebackers Troy Dye and A.J. Hotchkins were out for this game. It got worse Saturday when senior linebacker Johnny Ragin III went down with an apparently serious leg injury. When asked, coaches and players repeated similar answers: Injuries are not an excuse.

If there is any magic in this defense, it will have to come out next week against Washington.

The Huskies are a top-1o team that shredded defending Pac-12 champion Stanford 44-6 on Friday. For a program that is falling like Oregon, they don’t want to directly transfer the balance of power in the conference to their rivals.

“They’re the Huskies, and they’ve turned into the grizzly bear,” Neal said.

OPINION

WHY WE SHOULD CARE ABOUT BISEXUAL VISIBILITY WEEK/DAY Last week was Bisexual Visibility Week, Sept. 19-26, and Bisexual Visibility Day, Sept. 23. The events last seven days and bring awareness to the bisexual community. Bisexual Visibility Day holds the most celebratory activities.

Bisexual Visibility Day is a worldwide phenomenon.

Portland, Oregon, hosted a retreat for those who are bisexual at the coast, “to remember the past; to celebrate the present; to build the future.� There were also events in Salt Lake City, New York City, Columbus, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and more.

There isn’t a lot of information about the foundation of Bisexual -Logan Visibility Day, but it was coined in 1999, in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Events vary from zine making and film screening to talks, book launches and fundraisers.

Bisexual Visibility Week may be gaining ground. But what, exactly, is bisexuality?

However, after everything that has been said, there is still a question that has not been answered. What, exactly, is bisexuality?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines bisexuality as attraction to both males and females. It is important to note, however, that this definition ignores the social context in which bisexuality is placed today.

Some people define bisexuality as attraction to men or women. Others define it as attraction to two or more genders, broadening the definition to include those who don’t strictly identify as a man or woman.

Some people argue that people who are bisexual are transphobic (against transgender people) because they ignore those who don’t identify as a man or woman. This assumes those who identify as bisexual use the former definition. Critics advocate for pansexuality (attraction to all genders),

saying it is gender inclusive. However, identifying as bisexual does not always imply transphobia. It merely means an attraction to two or more genders.

So why do we need Bisexual Visibility Day? Bi erasure is a common experience among those who are bisexual. If you’re with someone of the opposite sex, people assume you’re straight, and if you’re with someone of the same sex, people assume you’re gay.

This erases bisexual experiences. People who are bisexual are often harangued for choosing to be with people of multiple genders and told to “pick a side.�

Furthermore, bisexual people are harassed for choosing to be Marks with someone of the opposite sex, because it makes it “seem like� they’re straight.

Bisexuality is also somewhat taboo, because it can be intimidating. Some lesbians say they won’t sleep with people who are bisexual because they may have been in contact with a penis. Not only is this idea transphobic because it excludes trans women, it’s also simply rude.

Those who are bisexual sometimes face another kind of prejudice: Some reuse to date those who are bisexual, worried they will be left for someone of the opposite sex.

Those who are bisexual are also stigmatized as promiscuous. Some think that since bisexual people are attracted to more than one gender, they will sleep with anyone. However, bisexual people have preferences in their attractions like anyone else.

These examples are reasons why Bisexual Visibility Day and Bisexual Visibility Week are held every year.

Those who are bisexual face a lot of unwarranted prejudice in the queer community. It’s time we stop ignoring and erasing their identities.

“However, after everything that has been said, there is still a question that has not been answered.

What, exactly, is bisexuality?�
