National Signing Day: Ducks sign seven Floridians and nation’s No. 1 athlete ➥ JACK
UO students don hijabs and glimpse Muslim culture
BUTLER, @BUTLER917
Oregon football’s 2017 recruiting class got its biggest commitment late Wednesday on National Signing Day. Deommodore Lenoir, a fourstar cornerback from Los Angeles, California, has decided to sign with Oregon. He is the seventh ranked cornerback in the nation and will be Oregon’s highest rated recruit of the 2017 class, according to 247Sports. Lenoir participated in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in January and dazzled with his competitive ability and football IQ. Rivals.com rated him the nation’s No. 1 athlete in the 2017 class. He picked the Ducks over finalists Nebraska and Mississippi State. He held offers from Alabama, Florida, LSU, Miami (Fla.), Notre Dame, Oklahoma, TCU, Texas A&M, UCLA, USC and Washington, per The Oregonian. Lenoir becomes the 24th member of head coach Willie Taggart’s first recruiting class with the Ducks. Lenoir committed to Oregon in June 2016, but decommitted in November, just hours after former head coach Mark Helfrich was fired. He is listed as 5-foot-11, 191 pounds. Lenoir was clocked at a 4.43, 40 yard dash and a 124.86 SPARQ rating. This year, 136 was the highest rating by a cornerback.
Of the 24 athletes Oregon signed on Wednesday, seven came from Florida. This makes sense – new head coach Willie Taggart and much of his staff coached in the state for a number of years. Even if Taggart and his staff were recruiting for other schools, the relationships they built allowed them to mine the state for prospects. Oregon’s first four officially announced signees were from the state of Florida, along with one of the three early-enrollees. In total, the Ducks stand to add seven players from Florida. “We’re going to try and get the best players around the country, whether it’s Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Virginia, New York, North Dakota — wherever they’re at,� Taggart said on Wednesday. “We have relationships [in Florida] so we’re going to always go there. That’s just the right thing to do. A lot of those commits we had, we already had the relationships with those young men.� “But I think it will be very wise for us to continue to recruit where we have relationships and know folks. ... We’re going to always recruit the State of Florida. There’s a lot of kids down there that really, really like Oregon. They just were never offered by them before.� Oregon Football head coach Willie Taggart speaks to the media on National Signing day at the HatfieldDowlin Complex. (Adam Eberhardt)

International Studies major Ariana Gallegos tries on a hajib for her first time. (Will Campbell)

CAMPBELL, @WTCAMPBELL
After encouragement from her political science professor, Ariana Gallegos found herself sifting through a mound of free hijabs on a table outside the EMU, ready to wear one for her first time. Wednesday was the fifth annual World Hijab Day. The UO Muslim Student Association fitted nearly 100 students and staff with free hijabs to celebrate their culture and create solidarity between cultures. UO Student Mayra Elide Jaquez, a member of the Muslim student group, fitted Gallagos with a green hijab. Jaquez, a romance language major, wore a black niqab, a piece of clothing that covered her whole face except her eyes. She said a common question asked by first-time wearers is about offending Muslims. Jaquez said she is “definitely not� offended when non-Muslim women wear hijabs. Jaquez said World Hijab Day was created “for people who are either Muslim or non-Muslim who don’t wear it and would like to.� “People just want to show their support and they want to see what it’s like to step in our shoes,� she said. Some students attended a 4 p.m. meeting in the Multicultural Center in the EMU, where the
Muslim Student Association held an open conversation with first-time hijab-wearers. For Jaquez, she said wearing the hijab is actually a way of escaping oppression. When she wears the headscarf, she said she’s not looked at in a sexualized way or as a competitor with other women. The headscarves are part of the Muslim dress code, according to Arabic Studies Professor Hanan Ahmed. Women wear them for modesty and devotion — a form of liberty that is often misconceived by western society as a form of oppression. Ahmed gave a presentation to about 30 students who attended the meeting. Some girls in the discussion said they noticed stares from the UO community, and it made them feel uncomfortable. Ahmed compared the covering of a hijab to the robes of a nun. Both are meant to show modesty and devotion, but are viewed differently. “Sometimes it’s a struggle in a country where it’s your choice,� Jaquez said. “You’re telling yourself you’re going to identify, not only internally, but externally as a Muslim. You’re letting everybody know.�

➥ SARAROSA
University Theatre’s second play of the season, The Emperor of the Moon, presents a modern twist on comedy from 1687. Playwright Aphra Behn is known in the theatre world as the female Shakespeare — she wrote in the middle to late 1600s and made a career out of playwriting before many women could write at all. “She pretty much opened the door for women to make their living as writers,� said J.K. Rodgers, a University of Oregon Ph.D. student and director of The Emperor of the Moon. “She’s at this really interesting cusp of blazing a trail for women in theatre and women in the professional world, in general.� At that time in history, women were not allowed to share their writing publicly, but Behn earned her living through her plays and fiction. Not only was she a trailblazing playwright, but she was also a spy for the English monarchy during the Dutch war of 1665. She also served time in debtor’s prison when she returned to England without any pay for her service. Rodgers’ eyes lit up as she spoke about Behn’s play and her own work in theatre, something she’s been involved with since she was in kindergarten. She has since served as a dramaturge and scribe for numerous University Theatre productions, and even though she has been involved with theatre for years, her excitement for producing plays was still apparent.

“I grew up on Hamlet, the Scottish play [Macbeth], Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night’s Dream,� Rodgers said. “Probably before I hit kindergarten I knew those and then it just kind of continued.� The Emperor of the Moon, Behn’s final play, is based on a theatre movement called Commedia’ dell’arte, a big influence on the comedy we know today. Emperor is driven by physical comedy, so audience members shouldn’t fret about the language barrier between an older version of English and modern language. Plays from the Restoration-era are also known for their use of improvisation and accessible, grand humor. The story centers around a man named Dr. Baliardo, his daughter, and his niece. When both women fall in love with men whom Baliardo does not approve of, they decide to convince Baliardo that the men are visitors from the moon. Since know-it-all Baliardo doesn’t like regular earthlings in the first place, he willfully falls for their plot; shenanigans ensue. Emperor’s plot is farcical, but this rendition of the play is not entirely typical. In many Restoration-era plays, actors use asides as a way of addressing what’s happening in the scene without acknowledging the rest of the characters. A great example of an aside in modern TV comes from NBC’s The Office, when the characters look into the camera.
Behn’s original production featured 30-50 cast members, but Rodgers combined characters to shrink the cast size to fit the Hope Theater, UO’s black box. One way that Rodgers is bringing The Emperor of the Moon into the present day is by combining avant-garde theatre movements — like site-specific theatre from the 1960s — with the grandiose nature that Behn’s work is known for. Rodgers wants the Hope Theater to be an environment where the actors and the audience can intermingle. “With a play like Emperor of the Moon, there is a lot of potential for that blurring of lines,� Rodgers said. For instance, Behn created a part where the 12 signs of the Zodiac appear — but instead of casting 12 separate parts, Rodgers decided to fill those roles with audience members. Those who worry about being in the spotlight don’t need to fret. Rodgers noted that instead of reciting lines, audience members chosen only need to wave. Aphra Behn’s The Emperor of the Moon runs Feb. 2-4 and the shows begin at 8 p.m. in the Hope Theater on campus. There is also a matinee performance on Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets are free for students with a UO ID, and general admission tickets are $10 at www. tickets.uoregon.edu.

A Gala Symphony Performance: Pink Martini at Hult Center for Performing Arts (1 Eugene Center), 5 p.m., $75-137.50 Prepare for an explosion of sound this Saturday with Portland-based music group Pink Martini accompanied by the Eugene Symphony. Formed in 1994, Pink Martini features at least a dozen musicians at a time — the group plays with tunes from numerous instruments, from violin and cello to congas and english horn. The lead vocals are by Portland resident China Forbes, whose alluring voice flows like silk in the wind on a summer’s day. Although Pink Martini is considered an American band, they explore the realm of bilingual music and incorporate French, Italian, Spanish and other languages into their work. Pink Martini’s sound is a composite of jazz, pop, latin and classical influences — a mixture that will fare well with the accompaniment of the Eugene Symphony. After the performance, the audience is invited to a benefit gala with drinks, dancing and more upbeat music. An additional cost applies to the afterparty.

This lecture series is dedicated to Bell, recognizing all of his accomplishments in academia and contributions to the discussion of race and equality along the way. Barbara R. Arnwine will be leading the lecture. Arnwine’s work includes women’s and immigrants’ rights, judicial diversity, LGBTQ rights and much more. As president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition and president of the Capital Press Club, Arwine has helped lead the fight for civil rights and diversity, much like Derrick Bell.

MORRIS, @JUSTGUSMORRIS
University of Oregon club hockey players Sam and Noah Rosenberg didn’t learn to read the way most kids do. Instead of scanning over kid’s books with easy to understand syntax, the two taught themselves written word the only way they knew how: through hockey. Their mother, Kim Rosenberg, remembers how they would pour over the box scores of games from the previous night, identifying names and words they recognized from television broadcasts. Chuckling to herself, Kim said “I remember they learned how to say Jaromir Jager [pronounced YAH-oh-meer YAH-gur]. “Hockey for them is like breathing,” Kim said. “It’s so important to their lives that they are playing.” The two brothers are more than your average hockey enthusiasts. For them, the sport takes root in their identity; an identity that wouldn’t have been possible without their father, David Rosenberg. The brothers remember learning the game from their dad when they were 2, taking turns shooting at him in front of a makeshift goal in their basement. David, an avid hockey fan and a skilled amateur player, instilled in them a love for the game that has so far defined their lives. And when David was at work, Kim would fill in. It’s hard for her to remember a time when the sport wasn’t a part of their lives. “Hockey is basically religion for us,” Sam said about him and his brother. Looking around their family house in Portland, it wouldn’t take long to come to the same conclusion by the hundreds of hockey books that line the shelves or the numerous photos of Sam and Noah in their uniforms throughout the years. The brothers are a classic example of hockey fanatics. Throughout their lives, they’ve collected jerseys, pins, books and magazines about the game. “Anything hockey, they collected it,” Kim said. Hockey took up almost every aspect of their early lives. They watched the 2004 sports docudrama Miracle hundreds of times and memorized every line of it. Hockey was all they talked about at the dinner table too, which drove their sister, Estee Rosenberg, a little crazy. “[I] could never get a word in edgewise,” she said. As the brothers grew, they began playing organized hockey, and soon joined more competitive travelling club teams. Sam joined a travelling club team when he was 10, and Noah did the same when he was 8. They would even plan family vacations around their hockey schedule. The brothers recall driving all over the West Coast — usually with their dad at the wheel — for tournaments, sometimes even north of the border into Canada. Both were good at the sport, although not quite good enough to get the attention of any Division I programs. In the 100 years since the foundation of the NHL, only six native Oregonians have played in the league; the most recent being Corvallis-native Jordan Lavallee-Smotherman, who played two games for the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2008-2009 season, according to quanthockey.com. For an Oregonian to play hockey professionally, the route is more difficult than most. “You have to basically commit when you’re 12 years old and that’s what you want to do,” Sam said. Sam and Noah did get offers from several colleges with Division II club teams — the same division the Oregon team is in — but nothing that really piqued their interests. The brothers chose

UO because it was close to home, and family was a top priority. By the time Sam, the senior brother, enrolled at Oregon in fall 2012, their father had already undergone a kidney transplant and was in the midst of a fight for his life with thyroid cancer. “[It was more important for us to] stay at home with family and finish our high school where we were at in Portland rather than pursue a hockey
“Hockey for them is like breathing... it’s so important to their lives that they are playing.” - Kim Rosenberg career,” Sam said of the decision to stay close to home. Even when he was sick and in a deteriorating condition, David still attended his sons’ games when they played in Portland. “He would save all his energy to watch the game and yell ‘Skate Sam! Skate Sam!’ ” Kim recalled. And when he couldn’t make it to the games because of his condition, he would livestream their games whenever possible. David passed away in November 2014, but the loss didn’t come as a huge shock to the family. For years, David defied the prognosis of doctors who originally gave him only a few years to live, stemming from his original diagnosis in the mid-90s. “Hockey gave him something to look forward to,” Kim said of her late husband. The same could be said for Noah, now a sophomore, who spent his entire freshman year
studying in Israel. When he returned to the states after his year abroad, it had been a few years since he had last played the sport he loved. He was anxious to join Sam, now a senior, on the UO club team for one last season together. “It’s really something that we shouldn’t take for granted,” Noah said of playing with his brother. “But we’ve played together our whole lives so it just seems normal. But I know that it’s a really special thing that not a lot of people can do.” Noah is one of three goalies — the position his father played — on the team. Kim thinks that the two still play with their dad in mind. She likes to think that they can hear him, still yelling from the stands for them to skate faster. “They know what a priority hockey was for him in terms of him having really, amazing quality time with them,” Kim said of her sons. “He was an incredible, incredible man and they knew how much he cared about them and they have that.” While Estee, their sister, found their hockey obsession annoying when the siblings were growing up, she now realizes that it benefitted them. “It was very beautiful to be so passionate about something,” Estee said about her brothers. She said that it helped them understand others with passions of their own. Kim is also thankful for the bond that they’ve found in hockey. “What hockey taught them was how to lose and how to have really good sportsmanship,” she said. “They learned how to persevere and how to have a lot of resilience and I really feel grateful that hockey taught them that.” The Rosenberg brother’s connection to the game is stronger than most, mainly because of the importance of the person who had introduced them to the game so many years ago. Now, less than three years since his passing, it is evident that David has given his sons’ lives meaning through the sport; a meaning that will continue to impact them long after they have hung up their skates.

The Gorge hosts the 14th Annual Sasquatch! Music Festival over Memorial Day weekend from Friday, May 22 to Monday, May 25, 2015. (Emerald Archives)
â&#x17E;Ą ZACH
PRICE, @ ZACH_PRICE24
The recent release of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup for the Columbia River Gorgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Sasquatch! Music Festival can only mean one thing: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to look at which upcoming music festivals have the best lineups. There are over 100 music festivals that take place in the U.S. throughout the spring and summer, so this is obviously not a comprehensive list. Several popular music festivals that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t released their lineups yet, including Lollapalooza, Pemberton and Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC). This list only takes into account the quality of a festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup based on musical variety, the lineupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth of quality artists and headliners. Other factors such as ticket price, location and time of year are not taken into consideration.
Rolling Loud
Miami, Florida, May 5-7 This lesser-known music festival made it on the list because of its deep hip-hop lineup. The entire lineup exclusively features hip-hop artists, many of whom are at the height of their popularity. Grammy-award winner Kendrick Lamar, legendary rapper Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wayne and criticallyacclaimed Atlanta artist Future will be the main headliners. Just to put how deep this lineup is into perspective, 2016 breakout artists Amine and Denzel Curry are seven lines down on the festival poster.
Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ball
Randallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island, New York, June 2-4 This festival could potentially have the best set of live performers of all the summer festivals. Although headliners Chance the Rapper, Tool, Phoenix and Childish Gambino donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold nearly the same level of popularity as other festival headliners do, they are widely known for their energetic live performances. Considering that EDM artist Marshmallow, rock group Cage the Elephant, rapper ScHoolboy Q, and hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd will also be performing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that Governors Ball will be the most energetic festival of 2017.

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival
Manchester, Tennessee, June 8-11 This year, Bonnarooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup is definitely top heavy, but the headlining acts are good enough that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter. Going to this festival will give you an opportunity to hear two of the most popular acts of all time with bands U2 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining. Considering Chance the Rapper and The Weeknd will also be performing, this is the most musically diverse set of headliners at any 2017 festival.
