Human Rights Commission pushes to make Eugene a Sanctuary City ➡ MIGUEL

SANCHEZ-RUTLEDGE, @MSANCHEZR541

With the election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States, concern has risen from undocumented groups who are uncertain of their future within the country.

The Human Rights Commission in Eugene has made recent pushes to create an ordinance to make Eugene a sanctuary city that would help further protect certain groups.

If the city council adopts policies to make Eugene a sanctuary city, undocumented individuals would be protected from possible deportation.

The push to make Eugene a sanctuary city comes after a divisive election cycle that had President-elect Trump vowing to deport up to 3 million people who are undocumented from the US. The Human Rights Commission recently helped pass a non-legally binding resolution by the city council of Eugene to make Eugene a sanctuary city, as a symbolic measure of support. The main-focus now is on creating an ordinance to officially make Eugene a sanctuary city.

Rights Commission, discussed the urgency to pass this ordinance.

“It is important to send a message to residents in Eugene to say it is a safe place for immigrants and that it recognizes the contributions of immigrants to our community,” Iboa said. “We will not be complicit in helping federal authority to rip families apart.”

During the city council meeting on Nov. 28, the topic of defining Eugene as a sanctuary city was part of the discussion. City council member George Brown voiced his opinion as to why it is necessary to move toward making Eugene a sanctuary city.

“Yes, I think we need to take more action,” Councilor Brown said. “I think municipalities and states can pass laws that might be a little bit at odds with national policies. I think we need to pursue and be more specific about Eugene being a sanctuary city and not have parents taken away from their children.”

The official response from the Eugene Police Department, provided by Melinda McLaughlin, the public information director, was that EPD

has no legal authority to actively seek out undocumented individuals under the Oregon Revised Statutes: 181.850 (1).

“Local police have no legal authority to enforce federal immigration laws,” McLaughlin’s statement said. “No law enforcement agency of the State of Oregon or of any political subdivision of the state shall use agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons whose only violation of law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.”

On Monday, Dec. 5, there will be a special human rights commission meeting to discuss plans to craft an ordinance to make Eugene a sanctuary city. The meeting is open to the public and will be held in the Atrium Building downtown at 5:30 PM. “We usually don’t have meetings in December,” Iboa said, “but we made a special meeting time because of the gravity of the situation and the urgency in which it needs to be finished.

CRAIG WRIGHT, @WGWCRAIG

The majority of the founding fathers of punk have passed on touring or are doing so with replacement members after embodying the “live fast and die young” lifestyle.

Fortunately, Los Angeles’ finest punk band, X, is still playing in top form with all of its original members.

On Friday, singer Exene Cervenka, bassist and singer John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer D.J. Bonebrake returned to McMenamin’s Crystal Ballroom in Portland for a celebration of X’s 40th-anniversary tour.

Although X is touted as a punk band, it evolved to be so much more than that. With rockabilly and folk influences fueled by Doe and Cervenka’s haunting vocals, X made punk music more than a three-chord race to fill 120 seconds.

The show began with rockabilly-infused takes on X classics such as “Beyond And Back” and “In This House That I Call Home.” Dressed in a black leather jacket, Doe played a hollow body bass guitar and roamed the stage, urging the crowd to engage with the music by waving his arms and smiling at the audience.

Guitarist Billy Zoom has returned to X’s lineup after taking time off to receive chemotherapy treatments for his bladder cancer. He played seated on a stool with his left leg propped up to support his guitar. Although he no longer stands in his signature power stance, Zoom

maintains his stage presence by flashing wide-cheeked grins at unsuspecting audience members, making his blistering guitar solos appear effortless.

Craig Packham is touring with X as an extra instrumentalist, alternating between and drums and guitar. This allowed Zoom to play saxophone on the deep cut “Come Back To Me” and alternate solos with D.J. Bonebrake as he played four-mallet vibraphones on “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts.”

Following a quiet moment between songs, a pounding bass beat shook the floorboards of the Crystal Ballroom. Downstairs at Lola’s Room, it was ‘80s Video Dance Attack night. Doe looked confused.

“Are they playing disco downstairs? Those mother-fuckers,” Doe said with a grin. “We can be louder than that.”

He followed through with his promise immediately. The band’s early punk material made a few appearances throughout the performance, including “We’re Desperate,” but this was when X perfectly shifted into material from its debut album, Los Angeles.

The songs hit with a force that few bands are capable of ever achieving and sent the audience into a minor frenzy. The mosh pit reached the outer layers of the Crystal as the band played “Your Phone’s Off The Hook (But You’re Not),”

“Johnny Hit And Run Paulene” and the Doors’ “Soul Kitchen.” The crowd was comprised of a surprising mixture of ages: many looked as if they have been attending X shows since the band formed.

A girl in the front row who was likely younger than ten caught Doe’s eye. He spotted her and smiled before whispering in Cervenka’s ear. She turned and smiled at the young girl, thrilled to have such a young fan enjoying their music.

Midway through the show, Doe looked at her and said, “There’s a young lady up here who is having the best Friday night ever.”

She wasn’t the only one having a great Friday night. One fan with a sweat-lined black baseball hat spent the majority of the night urging the crowd to come forward into the mosh pit.

During the encore break, he yelled “John Doe is a mother-fucking legend,” with emphatic, inebriated pointing. “He changed everything,” he said.

Watching X perform provided the rare opportunity to see an original wave punk band put on a clinic of how a rock show is supposed to sound. The band’s music appears to have transcended the generation gap, which is the ultimate achievement for any band. X is a mustsee show.

WILL CAMPBELL, @WTCAMPBELL

n the basement of the volcanology building at the University of Oregon, Dr. Robert Schofield sat hunched over his leaf-cutter ant colony, housed in a cluster of glass terrarium boxes connected by intertwining tubes. He watches as Ant 256 plunges her mandibles into a waxy leaf for the last time.

It’s almost time for Ant 256 to change her career. Six legs hold her firmly in place while her jaw muscles contract her cranial scissors, shearing the leaf apart. All around, her sisters work.

Some cut the leaves into fragments, while others haul them back to the subterranean colony in a neat line. Those with sharp mandibles both cut and carry, while ants with dull mandibles only carry — a division of labor that maximizes their productivity.

If the evidence is consistent with his thesis, the experiment will support the idea that conserving energy is paramount to the leaf-cutter ants.

The name of this new experiment: Heroes and Cowards. Schofield’s hypothesis states that heroes have duller or broken mandibles, and cowards have sharper mandibles. Schofield and his team of UO students have observed hundreds of ants for this experiment.

Ant 256 is middle-aged — about five months old — and her job since birth has been a

cutter. Her mandibles were once as sharp as a surgical scalpel, but have dulled after months of punching, cutting and slicing. She struggles to work them through the leaf. Her job is taking longer to complete, and she’s tired. If she only carries the leaf fragments, less energy will be wasted. It happens to all cutters once their mandibles dull down enough, but the decision comes with a cost. As a carrier with dull mandibles, she’s less useful to the colony, and she knows it.

So when the colony is attacked, she may have to change duties again.

The attack, like everything that happens in the lab, won’t come from nature, but from Schofield and his student assistants.

Schofield’s experiment explores a peculiar behavior of the ant colony while under a simulated attack. “We noticed that some ants attack us when we intrude, and some ants run away,� he said. After observing this behavior, Schofield wondered, similar to ants switching from cutting to carrying, if energy conservation might explain the reason some ants flee and some ants attack. “It takes a lot of energy to make an ant,� he explained, “and it doesn’t make sense for the colony to sacrifice new ants with sharp mandibles to the defense of

the colony when the old worn out ants could do just as well.�

Twelve years ago, in the same lab, Schofield began his experiments on leaf cutter ants. The Atta cehpalotes ant experiments unveil a new depth to the complexities of ant civilizations.

In a 2010 research paper, Schofield described the behavior of Cutting vs. Carrying, and detailed how difficult cutting leaves can be for ants with dulled mandibles. The research showed the dulled-mandible ants go on to help the colony in other ways, and it’s now widely accepted by the scientific community. He theorizes the behavior is explained through energetics — the need to conserve energy which is a guiding mechanism of the colony’s life. “I think both humans and ants are remarkable and beautiful products of evolution, each in their own way. And we are not that different from each other,� Schofield said. “We can learn all sorts of things about ourselves from our little sisters, the ants.�

CARL SEGERSTROM, @CARLSCHIRPS

r. Robert Schofield defies the stereotype of the genius scientist. He’s approachable, quick to laugh and wears his excitement as a grin above his short graying beard. When you talk to him about his work or research he’s interested in, you can sense his passion and curiosity.

Asking Schofield what he’s interested in or what he would like to research next is like asking the Cookie Monster what type of cookie he wants.

Schofield has a seemingly insatiable appetite for knowledge and uses experiments and the scientific method as a way to satisfy his curiosities.

He came to the Northwest in part because of the natural beauty and access to the outdoors, but his attraction to the outdoors is not that of your average outdoorsman. “If I go on a hike, it’ll be

because I have seen something on Google Maps I want to study,” Schofield said. “If I go to the coast I will dig for worm species I am unfamiliar with and look at their jaws.”

Schofield, who is slender, above average height and wears his hair pulled back into a small bun, splits his academic work between astrophysics and his ant lab.

As a physicist, he works on the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory project that confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity by detecting gravitational waves.

Schofield’s interest in the project revolves around his stated desire to understand, “What is the universe like?”

The research landed the team the $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in May.

“ANT”-ECTDOTE Males are only born during rare periods of mating called nuptial flights.

Before the flights, the queen gives birth to winged males and females who leave the nest and mate in mid-air. The males die and the females fly to new grounds to start new colonies.

“This discovery has huge significance. Firstly, as evidence for general relativity and its predictions of black hole interactions and secondly as the beginning of a new astronomy that will reveal the universe through a different medium,” said Stephen Hawking of the lab’s findings.

Schofield emphasized that he uses similar scientific and mathematical tools to solve a wide range of scientific inquiries.

“The tools are the same everywhere,” Schofield said. He said this is one of the most fundamental aspects of science and an important lesson he tries to impresses on the students and volunteers in his laboratory.

Schofield’s lab on campus, which resembles a strange mix between a dusty antique bookstore, a pet shop and Tony Stark’s laboratory, is responsible for publishing work on the cutting-edge of insect biology.

Correcting colleagues and rewriting the literature on leaf cutter ants is not an exercise in ego for Schofield — he is driven by the pursuit and development of scientific knowledge.

Ducks are hitting their stride at a perfect time after historic win ➡ GUS

MORRIS, @JUSTGUSMORRIS

Oregon’s win over Savannah State Saturday afternoon was one for the history books.

The Ducks set school records in points (128), assists (36) and field goals (54) en route to their 30th straight win at Matthew Knight Arena, 128-59.

But the Ducks’ historic victory was overshadowed by what another Pac-12 team accomplished Saturday.

A few hours before Oregon tipped off, No.11 UCLA upset No.1 Kentucky, 97-92, at Rupp Arena, handing the Wildcats their first loss of the season and snapping their 42-game home win streak.

“Our league needed a big win like that,” Oregon head coach Dana Altman said of UCLA’s upset. “I’m happy for [UCLA coach] Steve [Alford] and those guys; going to Kentucky and beating the number one team, the Pac-12 needed that.”

At the start of the season, Oregon was the favorite to win the conference.

Now, a little over a month into the season and just weeks away from conference play, a bit of a power shift has occurred atop the conference.

UCLA is looking like the team to beat.

It’s no surprise either. UCLA’s combination of a top-5 recruiting class and weak early season schedule have allowed the Bruins to shine.

They’re currently scoring the third most points per game in the country and freshmen Lonzo Ball and T.J. Leaf have been as good as advertised.

After their early season struggles, however, the Ducks feel like they have begun to fix a lot of their mistakes and are starting to play the kind of the basketball they know they’re capable of. With the Bruins emerging as one of the better teams in the country early on, Oregon couldn’t have picked a better time to right the ship.

“It’s still a work in progress,”

freshman guard Payton Pritchard said.

“But I think we’re definitely playing better together as a team.”

Oregon’s game against one of the worst defensive teams in the country on Saturday served as a great opportunity for Altman to work on areas of concern, specifically team chemistry. Over the last few weeks, he’s stressed getting some of his newer players involved in an effort to work on overall cohesiveness. The only player to log under 13 minutes on Saturday was walk-on Charlie Noebel, who entered the game when the Ducks were up 60.

“I thought we did make some progress,” Altman said. “We just gotta get everybody comfortable playing with each other. We just don’t have that flow that we’d hoped we’d have at this time.”

The Ducks are in a great position right now. They have four games left, all at home, until Pac-12 play opens on December 28. The hardest portion of their non-conference schedule is over and they’ll likely use these coming weeks to work out any remaining kinks. After the game, Altman specifically talked about reducing turnovers, creating more steals and working on offensive efficiency.

“It’s a work in progress,” Altman said. “The next three, four weeks are really important for this team.

We’ve got to get so much better in so many areas.”

Dillon Brooks is confident that they will.

“I think over time, this week especially, we’re going to get a lot better because we know we’ve got a tough team next in Alabama,” Brooks said. “We’re three weeks away from Pac-12, so we know we have to get ahead and we know we have to prepare.”

How Trump’s presidency will affect the LGBTQIA+ community

The White House is lit with colors representing the LGBTQIA+ community. (Creative Commons)

I spent the night of the 2016 presidential election with my partner, hoping to celebrate Hillary Clinton’s win.

However, by midnight, the election had been called. Trump had won. I couldn’t believe it.

Over the next two days, I was in too much of a daze of anxiety for the results to really settle in. I didn’t want to hear anything about it. It took me a while to process exactly how I felt about it and what I am going to do now that Trump will be sworn in next year.

Although I plan on doing several things to fight the deterioration of minority rights, especially as a minority myself, I decided to start by doing further research on how Trump’s presidency will affect the LGBTQIA+ community.

Not surprisingly, issues are already showing up in Texas in the form of legislative bills.

State Senator Konni Burton has introduced Senate Bill 242, which requires that personal information about a child, which includes their gender identity and sexuality, must be revealed to their parents. Otherwise, educators may face disciplinary action.

This is problematic because a young person’s gender identity and sexuality should remain private if they so wish. LGBTQIA+ people need to come out in their own time, and having a support system is an important part of that journey.

Beyond that, they could be forced into conversion therapy or kicked out of their house if their parents are not accepting. In addition, Senate Bill 92 will void local ordinances that protect the LGBTQIA+ community from discrimination in cities such as Austin and Dallas. Without

local protections, LGBTQIA+ families may find themselves facing more discrimination, possibly to the point of having to relocate.

Finally, the Women’s Privacy Act forces transgender people to use the public restroom that corresponds with the gender they were assigned at birth. This act has not yet been introduced but is reported to be up for vote next year.

The problems arising in Texas are just some examples of what a Trump presidency could mean for the LGBTQIA+ community. The president-elect had already, in his campaign, promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would allow transgender people to be discriminated against in their efforts to access health care.

Previously, the ACA protected transgender people from being discriminated against.

Furthermore, Vice President-elect Mike Pence has been a longtime supporter of conversion therapy, described by the Human Rights Campaign website as, “a range of dangerous and discredited practices that falsely claim to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.� These practices include shocking or giving nausea inducing medicine to patients while showing them gay erotica and electroconvulsive therapy, in which electric shocks are used to induce a seizure. There is no question that these practices are inhumane and it is appalling that our vice president-elect is a supporter of this form of torture.

Worrisome for the LGBTQIA+ community in red states is Trump’s policy of leaving things

up to state legislature. He has previously stated that transgender people should be protected under law, but would rather individual states make decisions rather than putting into place any federal laws. If this were the case, what is happening in Texas could spread to other states where Trump supporters abound and those in charge are not supportive of the queer community. However, the good news is that if LGBTQIA+ families aren’t happy with the way things are going in their state, they can move to another state. Not to say that that wouldn’t take a toll on the family, as moving is one of the most stressful things a person can go through.

Thankfully, it is unlikely that same-sex marriage will be repealed. Since the Supreme Court made the decision to legalize same-sex marriage, it cannot be repealed by the president nor Congress.

Although Trump’s win in the 2016 election is worrisome for women, people of color and the queer community alike, the reactions following his victory have brought me hope and inspiration.

Protests both local and national have brought together minorities and allies to unite against a common enemy. While I fear for the rights of my fellow minorities, I am inspired to join in the fight against Trump’s collective.

America was never great. But hopefully, that is something that we can change.

HOSTING A MOVIE NIGHT Written By Sam Styles

Y

ou attend UO, so your social life is off the charts. When the weekend rolls around, you have almost too much to choose from: tailgates, football games, basketball games, volleyball games, potlucks, parties, courtyard DJs, Scrabble tournaments, perhaps even the rare January pool party.

Sometimes it’s all just too much. Sometimes you don't feel like you are 20 years old, able to tackle anything or go anywhere. You feel tired and crusty, like you've been rained on and had to dry off just a few too many times. But being the modern day socialite that you are, even your down time is party time. So when you decide to take a night off, you are still going to make an event of it. So now you might ask, “What event can I host while wearing a robe and balancing popcorn on my reclined stomach?” The answer is easy: movie night.

Where to Rent Many of us are couch enthusiasts, beaching ourselves in the living room and riding out a stormy night watching movies. The reality is, Netflix runs out of options faster than we would like to admit. So if you find yourself with nothing left worth watching on Netflix and unwilling to pay the egregious $3.99 to rent a movie online, then you should head to the library. Both Knight library and the science library are fully stocked with a wide variety of films which you can check out for free. As a bonus, you can keep your rentals long enough to enjoy multiple times.

What to Watch While personally I am a romantic comedy man through and through, others go for scary movies or long-winded documentaries about seed germination. The point is, you will have to shout out to all the people you plan on inviting over and see what the general mood is. If it's raining (and because we are in Eugene during winter, it probably will be) you could easily turn the day into a movie marathon. If you are into it, this could be the perfect opportunity to watch every single Lord of The Rings movie without stopping. The key to getting everyone over is picking the movie that everyone wants to watch. For holiday-themed films, check out our Top 10 Holiday Movie List at www.wemakecollegebetter.com.

Don't Forget Snacks In the heart of what is sure to be a dark and self-reflective winter, it is important to gather together under the warmth of blankets to eat junk food and catch up on outdated pop culture though the art of film. It is the glue that holds modern friendships together. Another glue holding people together is the cheese that tops your nachos. So when you have people over, make sure that you have ample snacks supplied and make them warm - hot chocolate might also be nice (see page 8 for recipes). With hot snacks in your belly and a classic film playing, friendships will flourish and renew. With the perfect movie night, a droll winter will turn into one of happy memories.

The key to happy living has always been to If you are looking for community, don’t worry, surround yourself with the people you love the Hub has that covered. While many other in a relaxing environment, but college living apartments lack proper communal spaces, often makes finding that balance difficult. the Hub offers a multitude of areas specifically Friendships can be strained when you live in for community.

Surviving Winter Like a Duck

the Oregon Weather Guide

Rain Coats

Stain Removers

Who knew raincoats were so essential? A good North Face or Columbia jacket can help anyone when it starts pouring buckets on their way to class. Oregon is known for having multiple kinds of rain: pouring rain, misting rain, hit-the-ground-and-bounce-up-on-your-face rain, sideways rain - you know the drill. Luckily, rain jackets are plentiful right here in Eugene, Oregon. A quick stop to REI, Hirons or Costco can solve this problem easily.

When the day comes when something spills on your favorite sweater, or you slip in the mud because you forgot to wear rain boots, you’ll want some stain remover on your side. Stains are inevitable, but you don’t have to let them ruin perfectly good clothing when there are simple remedies to take the stain out.

Wearing layers is perfect for fighting away the cold and keeping yourself warm and dry this season. Pro tip: switch from cotton to wool. Wool is better at insulating your body’s heat and pulling moisture away. Not only that, but it dries faster as well. On top of that, everyone needs a good pair of waterproof shoes. We have all walked without looking and step into a deep puddle, soaking us to our core. Investing in a good pair of boots is highly efficient for warmth and sturdiness.

regon winters require a different kind of lifestyle. Some may not be accustomed to the cold realities of the Northwest. Let’s face it: it’s rain season. After a nice break with sunshine and warm weather, you might have forgotten the essentials of surviving the wet and windy weather here in the Pacific Northwest. For those just trying to acclimate to Oregon weather, figuring out what’s in store and what’s needed to survive is key.

1. Juice:

Apply a solution made with a tablespoon of dish soap and ten ounces of water. Blot the area with a towel to remove the stain.

2. Coffee:

Stretch fabric over a bowl and pour hot water on the fabric through the stain. If milk was in it, use an oil solvent as well.

3. Berries:

Scrape off excess, apply a formula of ½ tablespoon of dish soap and ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide.

Afterwards, rinse thoroughly.

From Snuggies to Ski Gear Getting Outside This Winter

A

s we begin the cold, dark descent into winter, many of us will be tempted to grab a blanket and hibernate on the couch. Although this doesn’t sound so bad, being cooped up all winter isn’t healthy for you or your already-strained relationship with your roommates. Are you ready to break the monotony of the winter blues? Grab your warmest mittens and some powder skis, because we’re heading outside.

Mt. Bachelor Although the trek to this powder paradise is a tedious one, the beautiful Cascadian scenery makes it all worth it. Mt. Bachelor is a popular snow sport hub for many UO students for good reason. Whether you’re interested in skiing, snowboarding or tubing this winter, Mt. Bachelor has you covered with over 4,300 acres of skiable terrain for all skill levels. Take one of the 11 lifts to the top elevation of 9,065’ and expect big smiles all the way down!

Mt. Bachelor’s Snowblast tubing is a great alternative for those who would rather not ski or snowboard, but

Written By Nicole Scopeliti still want to get out into the snow. Three sessions of tubing are offered during the day, and you can either buy a one-session ticket or an all-day ticket. Check MtBachelor.com for lift ticket and Snowblast tubing prices and information. Mt. Bachelor operates from 9am-4pm during the heart of the ski season.

Get There!

Just because you don’t have a car doesn’t mean that you can’t indulge in some wintery fun. There are various programs and services in Eugene that will help you get to the mountain this winter for little cost.

Check out some of the options below.

Berg’s Ski Shop Not only is Berg’s a great place to buy winter gear, it’s also a great place to catch a ride to the mountain this winter. Berg’s offers bus rides to Mt. Hood Meadows, Mt. Bachelor, Willamette Pass and Hoodoo. Buses to Mt. Hood Meadows only operate on Saturday, buses to Mt. Bachelor operate on both Wednesday (Hookey Bus) and Saturday, and buses to Willamette Pass

operate on Saturday, Sunday and holidays. You can also reserve a spot on the website or give Berg’s a call at 541-683-1300. If you’re not into skiing or snowboarding, you can also take a bus to go tubing as well!

University of Oregon Outdoor Program The Outdoor Program is one of the most convenient ways to get outside this winter while making new friends along the way. The Outdoor Program Barn, located at 1225 E. 18th Avenue, is a great place to rent gear for your next winter adventure. For a small fee, you can rent gear such as snowshoes, skis, waterproof winter wear and more. The Outdoor Program also offers affordable student-initiated trips students can attend. Past trips have included cross country skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. Signing up for Outdoor Program trips is simple — just visit OutdoorProgram.uoregon. edu to check out the costs and expectations of posted outings. Typically, there is at least one mountain trip sent out per weekend, which means there are plenty of chances to gear up and catch that first chair this season.
