A Eugene Tradition Since 1971
Audiences have been flocking to theaters to see giant monsters since the early years of film. From the stop-motion puppets of the 1930s to the computer-generated destructive deities of recent years, these gigantic beasts never fail to entertain, even if the monster movie genre has waned at the American box office in recent years. When Japanese film juggernaut Toho announced a reboot of its Godzilla franchise, I could feel a nostalgic tug on my heartstrings. The concept of a gigantic lizard plowing through billions of dollars in real estate was a concept I held dear throughout my elementary school days. And while the years have broadened my tastes a bit, there is never a time when Godzilla doesn’t get me a little excited. So in light of the release of Godzilla: Resurgence (as well as a desire to express my childlike nerdiness), I’ve prepared a list of the five essential monster movies out there. For fans of fun, lighthearted camp, these should be required viewing: King Kong (1933) Is it dated? You bet. But it’s also oneIs it dated? You bet. But it’s also one of the most influential movies ever made and a great example of early Hollywood special effects. More than 80 years later, it comes across as mostly charming. The sight of a giant gorilla scaling the Empire State Building is still incredibly striking, and the beast itself makes for a compellingly flawed hero. The fact that Kong’s pain can be felt through a puppet’s animated gaze is an achievement unto itself. Godzilla (1954) Before Godzilla became just a guy in a rubber suit fighting monsters, he was an allegory for the costs of nuclear war in this surprisingly grim film from director Ishiro Honda. The story follows a group of young scientists as they struggle to decide whether to capture Godzilla for study
or simply destroy him. Even though it’s easy to see the silliness in this one 60 years after its release (the destroyed buildings look more like models with every passing day), it’s worth watching for its meaningful postwar message. Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) Those looking for a laugh should check out this madcap monstrosity, which features Godzilla teaming up with a brightly colored robot named Jet Jaguar (an unapologetic Ultraman rip-off) to defeat a bug monster. Also included: American actor Robert Dunham as the toga-wearing emperor of “Seatopia.� This movie is beyond stupid, and is best known for being mocked on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. But it’s so unintentionally hilarious that excluding it seemed disingenuous. So bad, it’s incredible. Pacific Rim (2013) Guillermo del Toro’s love letter to creature features is the highestbudgeted film on this list, and arguably the most entertaining. While the attempts at character drama fall flat, watching giant robots (Jaegers) fight giant monsters (Kaiju) in extravagantly detailed environments has never been more awesome to look at. This is basically Transformers, but it’s actually good. And there’s already a sequel in the works. Sign me up. Godzilla (2014) Director Gareth Edwards’ take on Godzilla’s origin story includes the best human performances in the genre. The decision to portray the titular King of Monsters as an unstoppable force of nature pays huge dividends. Even if the big guy himself is only onscreen for around 10 minutes, his presence looms so large over the film’s two hours that it’s hard to even notice. This is the best monster movie since the original Godzilla and a great piece of popcorn entertainment. Think Jaws, if the shark was the size of a skyscraper.

David McCosh’s vivid lithography at JSMA ➡ FRANKLIN
LEWIS
It is easy to overlook the tiny Morris Graves Gallery, hidden in the halls of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Because many larger exhibits occupy the long halls in the museum, one could easily walk right through the Graves Gallery, unaware of its existence. But the gallery houses a new hidden gem on campus: an exhibition of the Midwest lithography tradition featuring former University of Oregon instructor and talented printmaker David McCosh. Best known for his landscape paintings of the Northwest, McCosh was also an avid lithographer. Born in 1903 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, McCosh earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Art Institute of Chicago, where he also began his teaching career. In the summers between classes, McCosh would travel back to his home state of Iowa to teach classes for the Stone City Art Colony, where he helped establish a Midwestern art tradition. In 1934, McCosh relocated to Eugene to teach UO students art, including lithography. When McCosh passed away in 1981, his wife Anne Kutka McCosh Lithograph by David McCosh entitled “Parade,” 1933. (Courtesy of Jordan Schnitzer arranged for a large portion of his art and Museum of Art) archives to be donated to the UO, which has become the David John McCosh Memorial Collection and Archive. In the exhibit, McCosh’s unique printmaking skill is put on display. With a very fluid, free-flowing style, his vivid depictions of the simple but elegant Midwestern landscapes blend well with the somber black and white tones of the lithography prints. In the print titled “Early Fall in Illinois,” McCosh captures the peacefulness of the Midwest: gently rolling hillsides, grazing cattle, swaying trees. He also uses the negative (blank) space efficiently to create the sky and some of the trees. Each print in the collection was made in either the 1930s or early 1940s, so the Great Depression is an overarching theme in the exhibit. McCosh prominently addresses the poverty caused by the economic upheaval in the ironically-titled print “Parade,” which depicts men waiting in line for bread. The UO timed the exhibit’s premiere for two main reasons. Danielle Knapp, McCosh memorial collection associate curator and exhibit curator, said the exhibition paired

well with the football-themed “Scrimmage” exhibit, which featured a McCosh print and several other contemporary printmakers. Jordan Schnitzer also has a new publication coming out next month by independent curator Roger Saydack that addresses McCosh’s career and highlights two of the exhibit’s prints. “It was really the perfect storm of research being printed and having other works being shown in the museum,” Knapp said. “It was really exciting for me as a curator to put up McCosh’s work in the context of other artists’ work — especially the contemporary works — because we don’t often have a chance to provide that component.” Creating a traditional lithograph in the 1930s was a laborious undertaking, according to the information wall panel for the exhibit. To create the prints, the artists used water-resistant crayons to draw on flat limestone. The stone was then washed, applied with ink and pressed onto paper. Because the ink is water-resistant, the ink will naturally stick to the crayons and be repelled by non-drawn areas, creating the image seen in the print. The press machine requires a large amount of force to crank, and the undertaking could really test the will of the artist. McCosh even caricatured the complicated, laborious process in a watercolor for Persis Weaver Robertson, one of his students at the Stone City art colony. He included jokes on the edges of the painting and even drew himself into the piece. “It shows he had a great sense of humor,” Knapp said. “It was a hard and complicated process, and sometimes you would put in a lot of effort and the final print wouldn’t turn out the way you’d like.” Both the watercolor and one of Robertson’s lithographs are on view in this exhibition. The book mentioned previously is titled David McCosh: Learning to Paint is Learning to See (The McCosh Exhibitions, 2005-2014). A reception for the release of the book will be held at the JSMA on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 5:30 p.m. A lecture by author Roger Saydack will follow at 6 p.m.

WILLAMALANE FITNESS WINS AWARD ➡ LEANNE
H A R L O F F, @ L H A R L O F F
There aren’t many places that offer classes about the art of henna, tai chi and woodworking all under the same roof, but Lane County has a nationally renowned community department that does. The Willamalane Park and Recreation District recently won the 2016 National Gold Medal Award for best parks and recreation department, presented by the National Recreation and Park Association. The award designates Willamalane as the best park and recreation agency in the country for communities of its size. “We’re frankly still beaming with pride,” said Bill Kunerth, the public affairs manager for Willamalane. With this award comes a reflection on the constant support of the people surrounding the organization. “This isn’t Willamalane’s award; this is the community’s award,” said Kunerth. “Without their support we wouldn’t be able to offer these types of opportunities.” Willamalane is the parks and recreation district for Springfield. It maintains more than 1,500 acres of natural land, along with five thriving recreation centers. In 1944, citizens voted to establish Willamalane as a distinct tax district and a place for people of all ages to connect, learn and exercise. Unfortunately, many University of Oregon students may have never heard of this organization and miss out on the numerous opportunities it has to offer. Kunerth said that “a lot of students are already PA G E 4

utilizing our resources and just don’t know it.” One such resource is Dorris Ranch, a park and operating farm listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “It’s really right in the backyard of the University of Oregon,” said Kunerth. Besides holding community events year round, Dorris Ranch has beautiful biking and walking paths open to the public. With 43 other parks in the area, Willamalane offers students myriad places to escape the stress of school and find the calm of nature. Kunerth also reports that Willamalane is constantly expanding. The organization recently acquired Thurston Hills Natural Area. This 650acre plot of land sits on the outskirts of several subdivisions in Springfield and will open up a whole new set of outdoor opportunities, including the creation of several mountain biking trails. “This area has a tremendous amount of potential for outdoor recreation and education,” said Kunerth, who hopes to get some UO students or clubs involved with shaping the new area. The Thurston Hills Natural Area is set to publicly open by next summer. While the outdoor activities are numerous, Willamalane is also known for its indoor classes and lectures. Several buildings, including the Adult Activity Center and the Willamalane Center for Sports and Recreation, offer fitness classes yearround. Some class options include yoga, cycling,
tribal fusion belly dancing and rock climbing on a floor-to-ceiling climbing wall. Aside from fitness, Willamalane also provides creative classes and informational lectures. On Oct. 22, it will host a workshop to create realistic zombie makeup, as well as a lecture about the best ways for millennials to be financially successful on Nov. 15. Classes are generally either a flat fee at the beginning of the session or can be paid on a class-by-class basis. Some events, such as the workshop for millennials, are free. “It’s not just your run of the mill programs,” said Kunerth. “We have so many diverse offerings.” Kunerth is optimistic that the NRPA award will allow Willamalane to continue serving the needs of Lane County for decades to come. “We take great pride in making a positive impact in people’s lives,” said Kunerth. Willamalane is ideal for students looking for a place to try something new and unique. With so many arts, fitness and informational classes, there is always something happening that fits into a busy college student’s schedule. “I’m just amazed every single day about all of the resources that Willamalane has to offer for this community,” said Kunerth. “There are so many opportunities for students to take advantage of.”

Thomas graduated from UO with a business and Spanish degree and started Townshend’s Tea Company roughly a year after graduation. “I educated myself about tea because I knew there was a lot you could do with it that wasn’t being done,” Thomas said. “I believed in it, and I knew there was a big potential for it.” The company was originally his brain child from a business project he completed for a senior business class, but the idea snowballed into a successful brand — and eventually a kombucha company. “All the successes I had at the teahouse came from listening to what my most enthusiastic customers liked, what they wanted,” Thomas said. “Enough people were asking about kombucha, and I was like ‘OK I gotta figure out what this stuff is.’’” Brew Dr. Kombucha names each flavor in order to reflect the blend of herbs used for brewing. For example, Brew Dr.’s “Clear Mind” is a mixture of sage, rosemary and mint, which, according to Thomas, are herbs recognized for their ability to increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain, thus assisting with focus and mental clarity. All ingredients are listed on the front label of each bottle, and Thomas takes pride in that transparency. While flavorful botanicals, sugar and SCOBY are the only ingredients necessary for the production of kombucha, the brewing process is slightly more complex. Thomas noted that making kombucha is not vastly different than making beer, hence the microscopic levels of alcohol content in Kombucha that remain below the allowed alcohol

by volume. After steeping tea, sugar and other botanicals in order to draw the best flavor, a SCOBY is added and the concoction undergoes the fermentation process in large aerobic containers, similar to the methods used to produce sour beer. According to Thomas, in order to meet food safety requirements the pH of kombucha must register below 4.6 — vinegar-level acidity, Thomas said — since the beverage is raw and unpasteurized. If the brew falls any higher on the pH scale, harmful bacteria can grow causing the solution to change completely. Once a batch is ready, it is moved to a chilled environment, which halts the fermentation in its tracks. The next step is bottling the kombucha and then it’s out for sale. But to UO student Jeremy Sigrist, kombucha is more than just a refreshing drink to purchase from his local Whole Foods; it’s also a hobby. Sigrist tasted kombucha for the first time at ASUO’s biannual Street Faire. As a tea drinker, he became interested and spontaneously found himself at a local natural foods store with his roommate buying a SCOBY kit. That’s right; kombucha can be turned into a DIY. “It’s a drink my roommate and I really enjoy, so we looked up the recipe and decided to give it a try,” Sigrist said. “It’s really easy and fun.” Unlike the massive kegs used for brewing by companies like Brew Dr., Sigrist’s home brew was made in a one-gallon glass container, and his total costs — including the SCOBY kit, tea, sugar and vinegar — were under $30. Sigrist and his roommate keep the gallon of fermenting liquid in their tiny water heater closet in support of the
fermentation process. “Seeing the SCOBY grow is the most interesting part,” Sigrist said. “You’re kind of rooting for it to succeed.” Although Sigrist is a dedicated kombucha brewer rooting for its success, he did not preach about the drink’s wellness benefits. There is a decent amount of controversy surrounding whether kombucha is a legitimate health aid: Some people swear by its probiotic properties, claiming it helps with anything from gut detoxification to curing cancer, but others argue against this due to the little research that has been done directly on the benefits of drinking kombucha. However, looking closer at the makeup of Kombucha provides some clearer answers to why and how it is considered a wellness beverage. Research states that microorganisms derived from Kombucha offer an array of metabolites, are rich in fiber, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and more. These elements are derived from the SCOBY and are what enable Kombucha to offer certain health benefits, namely helping detoxification, improving digestion and boosting the immune system. “It’s a really good daily habit,” Matt Thomas said. “A lot of naturopaths are starting to prescribe it as part of people’s diet.” Thomas continued to say that Kombucha isn’t just some “devilish little treat.” Although there are no promises made or proof that Kombucha is the all healing, magical elixir of life, it is reasonable to say that kombucha is a better alternative to other beverages on the shelf at the grocery store. Go ahead; try one. You just might like it.
*Caution should be taken if attempting to brew Kombucha at home. T H U R S D AY, O C T O B E R 2 0 , 2 0 1 6

T H O R N B E R R Y, @ M A X _ T H O R N B E R R Y
University of Oregon President Michael Schill addressed a full house Tuesday morning in the Giustina Ballroom. Faculty Senate members, the Board of Trustees and state legislators, including Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, were on hand for the official announcement of a $500 million gift from Phil and Penny Knight. “The initiative which President Schill will share with you today is a transformative development that creates a powerful new platform for collaboration and partnership between the scientists and researchers at the University of Oregon and OHSU,” Joe Robertson, president of OHSU said. OHSU received a $500 million gift from the Knights last year for its work on early detection of lethal cancers. Jim Hutchison, Lokey-Harrington Chair in chemistry, said that the campus will help UO bring new people in while sending out ideas that originate here. “The key strength of the University of Oregon is fundamental science; we discover new things everyday,” Hutchison said. “Often those discoveries stay within the university … our goal is translate those ideas.” Schill applauded the work of faculty members for bringing the idea to life. “The vision for this campus was born, like all great academic ideas not by

administrators but by our faculty members,” Schill said, “out of a passion to make a difference in the world.” The new campus is being received well by faculty members. Ulrich Mayr, department head of psychology, is excited about the intellectual as well as physical expansion that the campus will bring. “It’s fantastic, it’s going to lift up the whole campus,” Mayr said. “It will release space pressure, on campus by starting the northward expansion across Franklin [Boulevard].” The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact will bring hundreds of researchers to UO. Schill also predicts that it will “substantially” increase state funding for the university and be a boon for Eugene’s economy in the process. This gift comes in the midst of a $2 billion fundraising campaign initiated by Schill in October 2014. After reaching the half-way point in July 2016, the university is closing in on its goal. “Unlike so many other initiatives in higher education, this one has the resources to back it up,” Schill said.

RESIDENCE HALL LEAD LEVELS Carson Hall is located just north of the Erb Memorial Union in the middle of the University of Oregon campus. (Taylor Wilder)

PITCHER, @JACKPITCHER20
The amount of lead in select faucets and drinking fountains on campus was over twice the Environmental Protections Agency’s “action level� of 15 parts per billion last spring, according to public records published by University of Oregon Safety and Risk Services. According to the EPA, water that tests higher than 15 ppb is unsafe for human consumption. Utility companies must take action to treat their water if lead levels exceed 15 ppb. UO alerted residents in September that water in Bean, Hamilton, Walton and Barnhart halls had tested above the 15 ppb federal action level, but it did not specify the actual results. Initial sample test results show that multiple fixtures in all four halls had lead levels above 30 ppb, twice the EPA action level. A lack of consistent lead testing before this spring means that water has been lead-tainted for an unknown amount of time. University spokesman Kelly McIver confirmed that given the lack of consistent testing, it is possible UO lead levels were over the EPA’s action level last school year. According to McIver, the university did not regularly test for lead before this spring. “In the past there was testing that was done, but it was not on a regular and ongoing basis. Testing
happened as individual departments or buildings requested it,� McIver said. “Everything that the university is doing, in terms of the levels they choose to respond to and the testing program, is all voluntary.� The EPA has mandatory testing regulations for utility companies, child care facilities and other institutions, but those mandatory regulations don’t cover the UO. The reports also show the location of tainted faucets and water fountains in academic buildings such as Columbia Hall, Erb Memorial Union, Volcanology Hall, Clinical Services Building, Condon Hall, Knight Library, McMorran House and Treetops house. Any water sources that continue to test positive for lead after treatment are shut off and marked, according to Adam Jones, building science manager with Risk and Safety Services. Full test results and confirmation levels are available online. Three types of water samples were taken: “initial,� “flush� and “confirmation.� Initial samples are “first draw� samples collected directly from the tap after a period of no usage. These samples were used to determine if a flush test – testing after the water has run for 30 seconds – was needed. Confirmation samples are taken after mitigation has been completed,
to assure the water is safe to consume. The tests are conducted by an independent lab in Seattle, McIver said. One initial sample from a faucet in Barnhart Hall had a 229 ppb lead level, more than 15 times higher than the EPA’s action level. It dropped to 3.19 ppb after being flushed. But this post-flush drop was not the case with all fixtures. A sample taken from a faucet in the Barnhart Cafe Bar was initially 61.3 ppb, but measured 74.8 ppb after a 30-second flush. According to the CDC, “No safe blood level [for lead] has been identified, and all sources of lead exposure for children should be controlled or eliminated. Lead concentrations in drinking water should be below the U.S. EPA’s action level of 15 parts per billion.� Exposure to lead can cause behavioral problems and learning disabilities in young children and also affect the health of adults, according to the CDC. The university is currently working to fix lead issues in buildings across campus, according to its interactive map. Water was declared safe to drink in Bean, Hamilton and Barnhart halls in an Oct. 4 email to residents.

The LGBTQA+ flag blowing in the wind. (Creative Commons)
TRUMP’S AND CLINTON’S STANCE ON LGBTQ RIGHTS Only a few weeks remain until Oregon is able to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Despite how close it is to election, some of the presidential and vice presidential candidates’ views on LGBTQA+ issues are still unclear. Hillary Clinton’s website states that “lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans deserve to live their lives free from discrimination.� Clinton sides with the Supreme Court ruling which says LGBT couples should be able to marry, but admits the country still has a ways to go. Her website lists several goals to advance the rights of the LGBTQA+ community, were she to be elected: fight for full federal equality for LGBT Americans; support LGBT youth, parents and elders; honor the military service of those who are LGBT; fight for an AIDS-free generation; protect transgender rights and promote human rights around the world for those who are LGBT. Although some of her points are vague, she at least lists goals to advance the interests of the LGBTQA+ community. Contrary to Clinton, Tim Kaine’s website does not address as many LGBTQA+ goals. However, the website states he supported Obama’s fight for “fair treatment for LGBT Americans.� He also says he supports efforts to stop discrimination against nominating gay judges. According to their policy platforms, Clinton and Kaine are prioritizing LGBTQA+ issues, an
important step all presidential candidates should take. On the other side of the political spectrum, Donald Trump is not as clear on his stance regarding LGBTQA+ issues. Although he has stated that transgender people should use “whatever bathroom they feel is appropriate,� he has shown support for North Carolina’s HB2 law, which forbids people who are transgender from using the bathroom in public. He has also shown support for the First Amendment Defense Act. FADA states the government cannot discriminate against people who are acting in the name of religion. FADA came to the forefront of national dialogue when Kentucky clerk Kim Davis refused to distribute a marriage license to a gay couple. Trump’s stance on marriage equality is also unclear. He has stated that he does not support marriage equality. After the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, Trump made it clear that he did not support the Supreme Court’s decision but was also unwilling to support a proposed constitutional amendment that would re-ban same sex marriage. Trump’s views on conversion therapy (forcing those who are LGBTQA+ to become heterosexual), LGBTQA+ adoption and sexual orientation bullying are also unclear. However, by choosing Mike Pence as his vice presidential candidate, Trump has shown his true
colors. Pence signed a bill allowing businesses to discriminate against people who are LGBTQA+. He also said that gay couples signal a “societal collapse� and contribute to a “deterioration of marriage and family.� Furthermore, Pence stated that being gay was a choice. He opposed the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,� a military policy that didn’t allow soldiers to openly identify as gay. He also opposed the Obama administration directive allowing transgender students to use whichever bathroom they prefer. As a whole, it’s safe to say that Trump and Pence oppose several pro-LGBTQA+ policies. They do not support people who are transgender enough to give them the dignity of using whichever bathroom they feel comfortable with, and they support bills and laws that allow people to discriminate against the LGBTQA+ community. Although Trump’s views are not entirely clear, based on his past comments, legislative priorities and vice presidential choice, we can assume Trump will not help the LGBTQA+ community.

BAD RELIGION WITH AGAINST ME! AND DAVE HAUSE AT MCDONALD THEATRE (1010 WILLAMETTE ST.) 7:00 P.M. $25 ADVANCE $30 AT DOOR Those looking to introduce a little anarchy should head to the MacDonald Theatre this Monday to see Bad Religion, one of the most prolific and influential bands of the 1990s. Known for fast-paced, upbeat riffs and three-part harmonies, Bad Religion arose from the late 1970s punk scene to tackle various social ills through music. Heavily influenced by classic acts such as The Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Clash, their sound is ferocious, with lyrics that, despite underlying positivity, focus on serious topics like religion and civil rights. Every headbanging chord comes with some insight and introspection. By the end of the night, Bad Religion will have you screaming to bring the house down, and with the band’s long history, they’re sure to attract a crowd. Dave Hause and Against Me! will open the show. Tickets are on sale now. -Dana Alston

Since then, Norah has sold over 45 million albums worldwide and become a 9-time Grammywinner.

heard before, from anyone. It is singular and emphatic, harmonious and dissonant. It is the realization of promise, and the affirmation of individuality. It is born of difficulty and indecision, yet it rings with ease, decisiveness, and beauty. “She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved,” says Bela Fleck, the genreleaping banjo master who produced Weighted Mind. “And now her vocals and songwriting have matured to the level of her virtuosity.” Alison Krauss, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history, says of Hull, “I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare, and I don’t think it stops. It’s round.” ADAM CARLSON 7:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. The Jazz Station, 124 W Broadway, Eugene, OR 97401 Tickets: $11 EUGENE SYMPHONY: MAHLER’S 6TH 8:00 p.m. Hult Center for

LEARN: THE HIDDEN HISTORIES OF ART: SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF A MEDIEVAL SENSORIUM 12:00 p.m. Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, 1430 Johnson Ln, Eugene, OR 97403 In the Middle Ages, religious paintings, sculptures, and liturgical and devotional objects rarely existed in isolation. Instead, they were situated in a multimedia environment, with other sights, smells, and sounds. In particular, sacred music was a ubiquitous element of the soundscape against which the religious arts were experienced. This concert features medieval musical works commonly heard when images and objects such as these were either displayed or brought to the fore during a communal service, or, in the case of personal moments of spiritual
reflection, were used as objects for meditation and rumination. Performers include faculty members and graduate students in the School of Music and Dance, in collaboration with Lori Kruckenberg, Associate Professor of Musicology. LECTURE: DR.

This concept involves the seamless combination of Afro-Cuban folklore and funkified jazz, which renders a new genre: Folklo-Jazz. The instrumental format integrates harmony (piano and guitar), percussion in the form of an authentic battery of batás (ancient afro-folkloric drums) and horns (trumpet and sax).
