Black student groups call for safe and inclusive campus at campus rally ➡
ANDREW FIELD, @ANDYTSUBASAF
Black student groups called for University of Oregon administration to meet 12 demands to increase inclusivity for African-American students during a rally at the EMU Amphitheater at 2 p.m. Friday. The Black Women of Achievement, Black Student Union, Black Law Students Association, Black Student Task Force and Black Male Alliance urged the administration to implement the remaining seven Black Student Task Force demands sent to Johnson Hall after the 2015 University of Missouri protests. Black student group members read the unmet demands in front of a 200-person audience. These remaining demands include starting a black studies department, a scholarship program for black students, an advisory board of underrepresented minority groups to assist in hiring faculty of color and a black cultural center. Also, the students called for the administration to meet demands to change the names of all KKK-related buildings on campus, hire a black adviser/retention specialist and publicize initiatives to accept and retain black students and keep them safe. “I stand in solidarity with my black brothers and sisters until this demand is met,” said a student group leader after each demand was read. Along with students, administrators and Portland community members spoke on concerns surrounding the two recent blackface incidents at UO: Law professor Nancy Shurtz wore blackface at a Halloween party she hosted, and three Eugenian high school students who donned the controversial makeup on campus last Wednesday. UO President Michael Schill, who listened from the front row of the amphitheater throughout the rally before
speaking, condemned the actions. “In 2016, there can be no excuse for the behavior of that faculty member and those young intruders. Blackface is a slur. In many ways, it is as damaging as the N-word,” Schill said. “It is an insult to everybody on this campus, period.” Two audience members interrupted his speech by shouting for him to meet all the Black Student Task Force demands, but Schill did not mention the demands. The BSTF set a Fall 2016 deadline on five of the seven unmet demands mentioned at the rally. Herman Greene, a Portland pastor and parent of a Black Student Union leader, said students have the responsibility to call out such instances when it occurs “within their circle of influences.” “Black America can’t do this by themselves, although we will keep fighting. Black America needs white America; it needs Asian America; it needs our Latino America; it needs everybody within America to stand with and for us,” Greene said. “What [racists] don’t want is what we are doing right now: we are standing, unified, and we’re saying, ‘If it hurts one, it hurts me.’” UO junior August Jefferson read a message from his original spoken word poem. “I don’t know if equality is just an illusion thrown in front of the abuse to keep the system moving, but my own solution predates all the confusion about the election, Jim Crowe, slavery and time itself — that one thing is love. I am just a broke college student looking out for my next meal, but if you need me, as your friend, as your brother, as your prophet, as your leader, I can be that — just because this is reality, doesn’t mean this can’t be where your dream’s at.”

ANDREW FIELD, @ANDYTSUBASAF
The federal district court in Eugene ruled in favor of 21 youth, including University of Oregon student Tia Hatton, who are suing the federal government for the impacts of climate change, allowing the case to move to trial. On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken announced that she rejected the federal government and fossil fuel industry’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The youth, aged 9 to 20, are part of the Oregon-based Our Children’s Trust — a nonprofit that has helped children bring climate change lawsuits to courts around the nation and globe. “This action is of a different order than the typical environmental case,� Aiken said in her ruling. “It alleges that defendants’ actions and inactions ... have so profoundly damaged our home planet that they threaten plaintiff’s fundamental constitutional rights to life and liberty.� The 21 environmental activists come from across the nation.

tiffs gathered on the steps of Eugene’s Wayne L. Morse federal courthouse to celebrate the victory. “Seventy-nine million people are under the age of 16 in this country,� said Julia Olson, a director for Our Children’s Trust and UO law professor. “Judge Aiken just cast her vote for the 79 million children in our country.� The plaintiffs voiced concern over Donald Trump’s election victory on Tuesday, as Trump repeatedly called climate change a “hoax� during his campaign. Our Children’s Trust is suing the Obama Administration, but in two months, Trump’s administration will be the defendant to the case. “This lawsuit may be one of the last bulwarks between a Trump presidency and complete climate catastrophe,� said plaintiff Jacob Lebel, 19. “So to President Obama, please, hear our voices and come to the table.� Our Children’s Trust will meet with opposing council and will propose a schedule for moving forward to trial in the next couple of months.

The Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation released a statement earlier this week condemning the actions of a Taylor’s Bar and Grill bartender accused of drugging the drinks of four women. “These actions are abhorrent,� the letter reads. “The actions of a single bartender are not an isolated incident, rather, they reveal the broader community and cultural norms that continue to facilitate an unsafe environment for women and other vulnerable populations.� The GTFF is offering actions to be taken by the community in order to prevent further assaults. “This is a serious problem, and both the local community and the university have got to step up to the plate and make sure they are doing everything in their power to make sure things like this aren’t happening,� Michael Marchman, the GTFF staff organizer, said. The letter calls for University of Oregon President Michael Schill to
make a statement condemning the actions of the bartender and similar behavior. Schill is also encouraged to outline how he will ensure safety for students in relation to campus bars. “The bars themselves need to put in some kind of plans and policies for how they will train their employees to make it clear to them that anyone who assaults somebody in this form is going to be prosecuted,� Marchman said. Other suggestions made by the GTFF include: Hanging signs that clearly indicate that drugging drinks is assault and will not be tolerated. Training employees in the nuances of assault. What it is and why it is a crime. Training employees to recognize when a drink is compromised. Training employees to be watchful of drinks. Training employees to react positively and helpfully after an assault has taken place.
Taylor’s Bar and Grill is one of the most attended bars by University of Oregon students. (Emerald Archives) PODCAST EDITORS FRANZISKA MONAHAN EMERSON MALONE

Eye on Indie:
What’s New
➥ A L E X R U B Y, @ A R U B Y R U B R U B
Wolf People: Ruins (Jagjaguwar)
Wolf People’s music isn’t for the faint of heart. It is thick, dense, psychedelic blues-rock. Imagine crawling through a foggy cave — Wolf People’s songs are what reverberates off the cave walls. The band’s third album, Ruins, is a study on nature reclaiming the land it once ruled over, a theme fitting for a band with this sound. In a world of confusion, frustration and anger, Ruins might be the perfect album to get those feelings out. “I suppose like many people — especially now — we’re constantly veering toward complete frustration with the human race one moment and celebrating all the positive things about humanity the next,� says singer and guitarist Jack Sharp on Wolf People’s bandcamp page. Wolf People are heavily influenced by early blues/psych rock bands like Jethro Tull, Cream, and Traffic, so if you feel like there hasn’t been enough of that sound in modern music, Ruins is the album for you.
GUM: Flash in the Pan (Spinning Top)
Tame Impala’s multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson is back with a third album as GUM this week, Flash in the Pan. Watson mixes synth-pop, psych and funk into an album that’ll trip you out as well as move your feet. It’s rhythmic and sweeping and manages to hook you into its looping vocals and bumping synths. On the lead single, “Gemini,� Watson said in an interview with NME, “It’s kind of a song about people pinning stuff happening in their lives on things like star signs and religion.� Flash in the Pan is also a great example of those times when the album cover art perfectly matches the mood and music that’s contained within the album itself, with its ‘80s-esque vibes and smooth cursive lettering. Even the album’s track titles fit the mood, such as “Deep Razz,� “Heatwave� and “Distorted Star.� Pick up Flash in the Pan if you need something to groove to and let your mind wander.
The Japanese House: Swim Against the Tide (Dirty Hit Records)
Amber Bain of The Japanese House has never been to Japan, nor does she make house music. What she does make is dreamy, sparkling indie-pop that transforms your environment and twists into itself. Her voice is entrancing and lustful, making each line a treat to listen to and repeat over and over again. PA G E 4

Anonymity is a big part of Bain’s image as well because she feels like the music should come first, not the person who’s making it. “At first, I thought it was important to make it just about music. It wasn’t obvious if I was a girl or a boy because I had an androgynous voice. I really enjoy that sometimes people think I’m a boy. It’s funny. If Victoria Legrand from Beach House can handle it, I can handle it. And not using my own name — having a band name — that was on purpose,� Bain said in an interview with DIY Magazine. “But I didn’t want the mystery to become bigger than the music.� The Japanese House makes cool, atmospheric music you want to listen to when you’re walking on a beach, and even though we’re in the middle of fall right now, Swim Against the Tide should be on everyone’s radar.
David Bazan: Dark Sacred Night (Suicide Squeeze Records)
If you like your Christmas songs with a sense of dourness and nonconformity, then pick up David Bazan’s collection of Christmas song covers, Dark Sacred Night. The former Pedro the Lion frontman recently had a falling out with his Christian faith, but that doesn’t mean he can’t create personal, affective Christmas music that’ll tug at the heartstrings as you sing along to the classic songs. “Cheery conformity is the enemy of ‘peace on earth, goodwill’ to all. Admit your despair to safe people in your life this Christmas. Be a safe person for others. Feel better. Jesus Christ, you guys,� Bazan says on the album. If his own music isn’t slow enough, Bazan also includes a great cover of the great slow-core band Low’s “Long Way Around The Sea� as well as a cover of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Happy Xmas (War is Over).� All of the covers are super lo-fi, deeply emotional and unlike most Christmas songs you’ve heard before in a while. As Bazan himself puts it, Dark Sacred Night is for “depressive weirdos who want to sit and process their feelings about Christmas and reflect on the good and the bad and the past and all the stuff that’s mixed together in the crazy cocktail that is the holiday season.�

D E N N E Y, @ J A R R I D _ D E N N E Y
On the same day a former Oregon prep standout dismantled the Ducks’ offense, a current high school star passed on Oregon’s scholarship offer and committed to a rival school. As a whole, Saturday was a disastrous day for Oregon football as the Ducks suffered a 52-27 loss to rival Stanford that dropped their overall record to 3-7 and assured they will miss out on a bowl game for the first time since 2004. The day was made difficult by the fact a pair of former recruits from Portland who now play for Stanford held large roles in the loss. It got worse at halftime when 4-star recruit Elijah Molden, who was thought to be leaning toward Oregon, committed to the University of Washington. Saturday’s loss highlighted some costly recruiting misses from past years but was also an indicator that Oregon could be stuck in this spot for a while due to its inability to secure in-state recruits.
Stanford linebacker Joey Alfieri, a former 4-star prospect from Jesuit High School, intercepted Justin Herbert twice during Stanford’s blowout victory and finished the game with three tackles. There was a certain amount of irony to Alfieri’s performance: He played arguably the best game of his college career in his home state while facing two high school teammates. He also said the pair of interceptions were his first at any level since he played against Sheldon his junior year of high school, when Justin Herbert was the backup quarterback. “It’s weird playing against guys you used to play with,” Alfieri said. “It’s kind of a funny experience, but I definitely had a good time and I’m glad we got the win.” Between Alfieri’s two interceptions, Molden, a 4-star cornerback from West Linn High School in Portland, announced via Twitter that he committed to Washington.
Catch play by play coverage with the Emerald:
@ODESPORTS Molden, one of the top prospects in one of the deepest in-state recruiting classes in recent memory, is the son of former Oregon All-American Alex Molden. It was long believed he would choose Oregon when it came time to commit. That wasn’t the case, and Oregon has now missed out on the top three in-state recruits for the class of 2017. The Ducks are being out-recruited in their own backyard by conference foes at a time when local talent is at an all-time high. As Andrew Nemec of the Oregonian noted, Oregon coaches may have a false perception of how coveted of a destination the program is. The Ducks’ recent recruiting struggles have been welldocumented this season, and it wasn’t just Alfieri who reminded the Ducks of what could have been on Saturday. Cameron Scarlett, a speedy running back who was the No. 2 prospect in the state of Oregon for the class of 2015 at Central Catholic High School, ran for 68 yards and scored a touchdown in a backup role. Scarlett and Alfieri both had positive things to say about Oregon
afterward. Oregon defensive lineman Henry Mondeaux, who played with Alfieri at Jesuit, said the two are best friends, but he never tried to convince the linebacker to flip to Oregon. “It was great,” Scarlett said. “It’s always great to be back in my home state, and I got an opportunity to play at Autzen, which has been a goal for my whole life and I made the most of it. “It’s great playing with Joey; Joey was out here balling and I was just happy to be here.” While Scarlett and Alfieri celebrated on the Autzen turf, it was Oregon’s own in-state players who were left to deal with the reality that their postseason chances for the year are over. “We’ve just got to focus on what’s next,” Mondeaux said. “We can’t dwell on the past and we’ve just got to learn from it. We’re gonna try to do that.” Oregon’s past came back to haunt it on Saturday, and if Molden’s decision was any indicator, Oregon may be tasked with facing the state’s best homegrown talent for a long time to come.

OPINION
(Teddy Tsai)
COFFEE: A DECEPTIVE SUBSTANCE You wake up in the morning with your alarm blaring. You head to the kitchen and make yourself a cup of coffee to start the day. But, by ten you feel the need for another lift so you drink another cup. Many would likely write this behavior off as normal and probably even harmless. One could say that drinking coffee has become a glorified representation of the common American. “Coffee definitely starts my day,� said Lana Pritchett, sophomore at the University of Oregon. “I always tell people not to talk to me until after I’ve had my coffee because I won’t be awake enough to pay attention.� Coffee falls into the habitual actions of everyday lives. Drinking a cup a day or a few cups in the morning becomes more than a simple stimulation process but also a ritualistic process that positively contributes to outcome of one’s day. Daily coffee intake is commonplace for the average adult in the United States. But is the action of drinking coffee beneficial to the population’s overall health or not? Coffee contains a natural stimulant called caffeine that allows the consumer to feel revitalized or more aware after having a cup. This occurs because caffeine naturally blocks the chemical known as adenosine. Adenosine is the chemical in the brain that causes drowsiness and loss of awareness; by inhibiting this chemical, caffeine instigates the release of hormones that influence the adrenal gland to create adrenaline. This effect is the main reason why coffee is so widely consumed by the common population.

Other reasons that the habit is so accepted is that there are many benefits that come along with drinking coffee: there are studies that claim drinking coffee daily can decrease the risk of depression, type II diabetes, as well as increase the health of your immune system and increase overall longevity. These are all great reasons to not only enjoy but utilize caffeine and coffee as a tool for your health. But with every great product there tends to be some sort of catch. In this case, caffeine is also considered a psychoactive drug due to its addictive nature. Much of the time, caffeine addiction is merely a looming threat that never truly takes hold. But other times it can latch onto a victim and grow uncontrollably. Kailiuli, a former Insomnia Coffee Co. Barista, tells the story of a customer she once encountered while on the job. “He started out getting four [espresso] shots then over the course of about three months he upped it to seven [espresso] shots. He told us it was because he was working a lot and that caffeine simply didn’t affect him the same way it did other people.� Over time a tolerance can be built for any substance, causing the need for either a higher dosage or a more frequent number of doses in a day. This is a strong indication of a building addiction as an individual is exhibiting a direct need for the effect of a substance. The lack of caffeine can bring about negative side effects, such as tremors, irritability or anxiety
and altered sleeping patterns. These effects are similar to withdrawal symptoms that an addict suffers through when trying to quit a substance, which depicts the negative denotation of an addiction to caffeine. Much of the adult population in America drinks caffeine daily. Not only that, but coffee is the second leading beverage of choice across the world and the first most popular beverage for caffeine intake. These statistics are concerning considering they represent a widely accepted use of this stimulant. Although caffeine shows strong similarities to many psychoactive stimulants, caffeine is only considered a mild stimulant because of the swift recovery phase one endures (around 12 days). Due to this short recovery time, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition has yet to include caffeine use disorder — or the addiction to caffeine — under substancerelated and addictive disorders. The DSM-5 does, however, recognize that caffeine deprivation does cause withdrawal-like symptoms. “I think that there might be a reason to be concerned about coffee intake,� said Pritchett, “but coffee for me is mostly a way to build community and friendships.� Kailiuli would agree, claiming that working as a barista allowed her to make more connections and become more involved in her community. It would seem the negative effects are highly overlooked in society, but they should not be ignored. B Y M A LY S S A R O B L E S
