SPORTS A.J. Balta’s bat will be critical for Oregon’s offense this season Oregon’s A.J. Balta (33) hits the ball. The No. 11 Oregon Ducks face the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos at PK Park in Eugene, Ore. on March 5, 2016.

MORRIS, @JUSTGUSMORRIS

Junior outfielder A.J. Balta is no stranger to being an integral part of Oregon’s offense.

Last season, the Valencia, California native led the Ducks in home runs and RBIs while spending much of the season at the top of the lineup, mainly as the team’s two or three hitter.

This season, Balta is once again expected to be a crucial batter in Oregon’s lineup; but this time, he’ll have a role deeper in the lineup. So far, through 18 games this season, Balta has found himself batting in the four or five spot in the lineup — spots usually reserved for production-heavy hitters.

“Hitting four, five I think that’s where I can help the team,” Balta said. “That’s where coach wants me to be hitting, with men on base and following JB [Jake Bennett] and [Kyle] Kasser, you know, guys that get on, RBI situations, I think that’s a spot I can help the team at.”

Head coach George Horton said the lineup change came about because of the improvement he’s seen from Balta. He’s noted that Balta worked a lot over fall to become a “more complete hitter.”

“He led our team in RBIs, as you know, homeruns [last season], but his batting average was The Emerald is published

not where it should be or he wanted it to be,” Horton said about Balta. “So he invested a lot of time with coach [Jay ] Uhlman and coach [Mitch] Karraker on using the whole field, getting inside the ball, things that are more conducive to high average hitters.”

Horton noted that Balta’s style can be “gorilla ball” at times and implied that’s not what he wants out of a middle of the lineup hitter. So the fact that Balta has shown improvement in his approach helped prompt his move to the middle of the lineup.

Through 18 games, Balta has shown overall improvement as a hitter. His batting average is almost 100 points better than it was at this point last season (up from .181 to .273) and he’s showing more patience at the plate: he’s already drawn 10 walks, half as many as he drew all last season.

But while his average and on-base percentage are up, his power numbers have dipped. Oregon doesn’t have a lot of power as it is and its offense doesn’t exactly rely on power hitting to be successful. However, the lack of home-run threat, like Balta has been in the past, could prove to be a ENGAGEMENT EDITOR MARK KELLMAN NEWS EDITORS NOAH MCGRAW MAX THORNBERRY WILL CAMPBELL A&C EDITORS CRAIG WRIGHT CARLEIGH OETH MATHEW BROCK OPINION EDITOR ALEC COWAN LOGAN MARKS SPORTS EDITORS KENNY JACOBY JONATHAN HAWTHORNE JARRID DENNEY

weak spot in the Ducks lineup.

Horton isn’t worried, though. He chalks up Balta’s dip in power to him still trying to adapt to being more of a contact hitter. And if he isn’t hitting for power, Horton has still liked the productivity that his new middle of the lineup hitter has given him.

“He’s not getting the power that we think he’ll end up showing,” Horton said. “I think his best atbats, at least how I see it, have come with guys in scoring position and that’s typical of AJ and being an RBI guy.”

Balta himself said at media day that balancing the power and average would be difficult.

“It’s definitely tough when you split the mentality of instead of hooking this ball over the fence to seeing the ball really deep, letting the ball get deep and going the other way,” Balta said. “That’s pretty tough to do.”

As the year goes on, the power should come for Balta. Even if it doesn’t, though, Balta’s bat will still be critical for Oregon’s success this year.

đ&#x;”Š MUSIC Craig Finn joins Japandroids for a cover of AC/DC’s “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It).â€? Finn is also the frontman for The Hold Steady, and his infectious energy quickly encouraged the crowd to sing along. (Hannah Steinkopf-Frank)

Japandroids and Craig Finn don’t need an encore at Portland’s Revolution Hall ➥ CRAIG

W R I G H T, @ WG WC R A I G

The Japandroids looked and sounded like an entirely different band when they last played in Portland in November, 2012. At that Wonder Ballroom performance, guitarist Brian King was visibly nervous when he walked onstage. He was breathing heavily and had to scream into the microphone and strike a few power chords before eventually settling in on the “Celebration Rock� tour. His voice was unable to match the range he records in, which robbed that night of the potential quality it promised.

In the four long years since Japandroids’ last Oregon show, the Vancouver B.C. duo has transformed from an average live act with superb records into a stage-dominating headlining act full of confidence. The stage show now matches the quality of their anthemic records, which is no small feat.

As King and drummer David Prowse took the stage, flashing strobe lights made it look as if they were moving at half speed. They both moved with an air of confidence that was previously unavailable. Prowse slowly built the thunderous drum introduction of “Near To The Wild Heart Of Life.� With the final snare hit in the intro, the lights went dark: It was the calm before the storm of a nearly two-hour performance by Japandroids.

From the first chords of the song until the very end of the night, fans at the sold-out performance at Revolution Hall were screaming along at the top of their lungs. The crowd atmosphere at a Japandroids show is best summed up by a few

lines from “The Nights Of Wine And Roses�: people downing drinks in a “funnel of friends� who “yell like hell to the heavens.� There is a sense of instant camaraderie among fans who know that everyone around them will be screaming just as loud as they are for the entirety of the concert. “Celebration Rock� is about as apt of a description as you can hope for.

King’s guitar setup included a wall of amplifiers that blasted a sound forceful enough to knock over the dive bars they previously toured through; Prowse’s drumming remains the integral backbone for the songs. Their sound has evolved as much as their lyrical content, yet fans were as confident in their abilities to sing along to the lyrically dense “Midnight To Morning� as the simplistic but succinct “Wet Hair� from 2009’s “Post-Nothing.�

Much of “Near To The Wild Heart Of Life� features synthesizers or acoustic guitars, but live, King stuck to his electric guitar for every song.

Only the 7-minute “Arc Of Bar� needed additional instrumentation, which was easily achieved with a synthesizer loop played over the loudspeakers.

Craig Finn joined Japandroids for the final song of the night, a cover of AC/DC’s classic “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It).� With Finn on lead vocals, Prowse and King were able to join Finn in giving their entire attention to the crowd. Finn marched across the stage, pointing to as many fans as he could in an effort to up the crowd’s energy level.

SACRAMENTO — Forty minutes of game time can be overshadowed by one moment.

On Sunday, that moment belonged to Tyler Dorsey.

No.3 seed Oregon (31-5) defeated No.11 seed Rhode Island (25-10) 7572, thanks to some late-game heroics from Dorsey in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night. The Ducks will advance to the Sweet-16 for the second consecutive year — a school first.

With 38 seconds left and the game tied at 72, Dorsey stepped into a contested three at the top of the key to put Oregon up 75-72. Rhode Island tried to answer but missed two potential game-tying 3-pointers in the closing seconds.

Dorsey finished with a gamehigh 27 points on 9-of-10 shooting including four 3-pointers.

Oregon actually jumped out to a lead early in the first half, but Rhode Island fought back and led by 12 at halftime.

The key to Rhode Island’s first-half success was its physical play. The Rams suffocated Oregon’s offense and forced the Ducks into 10 firsthalf turnovers.

But Oregon responded after halftime. The Ducks came out more aggressive but were unable to cut into Rhode Island’s lead for most of the second half.

With 9:57 left in the game and down by four, Jordan Bell checked back in for Kavell Bigby-Williams.

At that point, the five players on the floor for Oregon were Payton Pritchard, Dorsey, Dylan Ennis, Dillon Brooks and Bell. Head coach Dana Altman never subbed again.

“He was just confident in the bunch that was in,” Brooks said. “He was just letting the game flow. He’s a good coach and he knows what he is doing.”

For the final nine-minute stretch, Oregon outscored Rhode Island 1811. Brooks hit two threes and Dorsey added two more.

“I never get worried. We overcame stuff like this all year,” Bell said.

“Second half, we buckled down and slowly tried to keep chipping away.”

Dorsey will get the attention, as he should, but it was Bell who grabbed the offensive rebounds that led to the crucial Dorsey game-tying and game-winning threes.

“I got it, I see [Dorsey] in the corner ... I see they don’t notice [Dorsey] in the corner, I faked a drive and just kicked to him and let him do what he do,” Bell said.

At halftime, Altman reportedly kicked out the CBS camera crew and addressed his team on the lack of intensity and harped too many turnover numbers. It was more yelling than strategy. Clearly, though, that’s all the Ducks needed.

“Coach kicked the camera crew and just went ham on us,” Brooks said. “That’s what we needed. We needed some motivation and some yelling.”

The Ducks, a team that is normally careful with the ball, was sloppy in the first half. Credit Rhode Island’s defense for forcing a number of turnovers. Pritchard, Dorsey and Ennis all had three going into halftime.

In the second half, Oregon only had four.

“I think the difference in the game the first half, our turnovers really put us in a bad hole,” Altman said. “We had 10 turnovers, and they scored 16 points off of those turnovers.

The second half we had 4 turnovers and they only got 5 points off those turnovers. So I thought that was really significant.”

Oregon will face Michigan in the Sweet-16 on Thursday in Kansas City, Miss. It will be Oregon’s third appearance in five years.

“We feel very fortunate to be moving on and we know how difficult Michigan will be on Thursday. Hopefully, we’ll be ready and be able to give ‘em a good game,” Altman said.

đ&#x;“– COVER Amy Schenk is the only presidential candidate running in ASUO elections this year. (Christopher Trotchie)

ONE BALLOT. ONE CANDIDATE. ➥ FRANKIE Imagine a US presidential election with only one presidential candidate and one party running. That is what this year’s ASUO elections are going to look like. Only one slate — ASUO’s version of a political party — is running in this election.

Students can either vote for Amy Schenk and her slate or write in their choice.

ASUO elections coordinator Hunter Mackin stated that another campaign was poised to enter the race but dropped out before any official announcements were made. Another campaign was in the works months ago with senator Hao Tan running for president, but dropped out of the race, citing time constraints.

ASUO controls a $16 million dollar budget funded by students through a mandatory fee called the incidental fee, or I-fee. ASUO funds student organizations, various contracts, the EMU and certain departments within the university.

ASUO is organized similarly to the U.S. government, with senate, judicial and executive branches.

Members of ASUO aren’t too concerned about the idea of only one slate running. “This might be better for the ASUO’s reputation because, when it comes to elections, it gets pretty nasty sometimes,� said ASUO senator and Interfraternity Council President Hao Tan. “As far as I know everyone who is running is very qualified.�

Although it is yet to be seen how this unexpected turn of events will affect the campaign season, candidates are scheduled to web campaign over spring break and ground campaign during week one of spring term. There will be a town hall on April 4 hosted by the Emerald. Voting will take place during week two.

Amy Schenk is running for ASUO president. She is a junior at UO, majoring in international studies with minors in political science and Arabic. She is currently the state affairs commissioner in the executive branch of the ASUO. She hopes to prove to the students that even though she is running unopposed, her mission is to represent all students and advocate for them to the best of her ability. “We have to let students know that you have a voice in this. Yeah only one PA G E 8

slate is running, but let’s let [students] know that they can do a write in,� she said. “Obviously I want to promote myself and the team I’m working with because I believe in my team in doing the job, but let’s provide options because it should be as democratic as possible,� she said.

Schenk plans to focus on advocating for affordable tuition, food security, safety and accessibility for students. She has been working on the issue of tuition since her freshman year. “I recognize that it’s a very difficult thing to move and it’s a long-term project, but I think there are strides we can make here at the university,� she said of tuition. Schenk has worked with the United States Student Association on this issue in order to achieve tuition transparency and advocacy for students in this matter.

She plans to work with the Board of Trustees in order to lower the $945 tuition increase that is planned to occur next year.

Schenk also plans to make the Student Food Pantry more accessible for all students by moving it onto campus and removing the religious affiliation that it currently has.

A more personal focus for Schenk is finding more funding for the University Counseling and Testing Center. Schenk explained that during her freshman year, she experienced confusion about her identity and her sense of place at UO. “I definitely had to go see a counselor, because If I hadn’t I would not still be here at the university,� she said.

Because of her experience, she hopes to make it easier for every student to have access to mental health care as she did. “We should not be seeing a three-month wait list for students to go see a counselor, it’s really saddening,� she said.

Schenk also expressed her passion for putting a stop to aggressions toward people of color on campus. “That hall needs to be renamed because it’s a microaggression against a lot of communities here,� she said of Deady Hall.

Tess Mor

Internal Vice President Tess Mor is running for internal vice president. She’s a junior at UO, majoring in public relations with a minor in business. She is currently in the EMU board senate seat, and she also works at the “O”-desk and the card office in the EMU. In the 2015-16 school year, she held the business seat in the senate.

“I have been involved with leadership programs my entire life and got involved with ASUO because I was looking for a way to continue that at the University of Oregon,” she said.

As part of the EMU board, Mor helps student organizations create their budgets. She also works with space allocation and accessibility within the EMU. Mor wants to make ASUO more accessible to students. She hopes to personally talk to students and show them what ASUO is about, so they can get involved and understand how ASUO can help them.

“I feel after being on senate for two years, I have an extremely deep understanding of what works and what needs to change, and with taking this position on, I hope I can work to create a more inclusive environment for student groups,” she said.

As ASUO internal vice president, Mor plans to listen to students with empathy and respect, and work with them in order to help achieve their goals.

As for running unopposed, Mor plans to keep an open line of communication with students.

“Regardless of being the only slate running, we are still going to work hard, get out on the streets and have these crucial conversations with students because these are their student dollars and I want them to know where they are going and how they can access it,” she said.

Vickie Gimm is running for external vice president. She’s a junior at

“REGARDLESS OF BEING THE ONLY SLATE RUNNING, WE ARE STILL GOING TO WORK HARD, GET OUT ON THE STREETS AND HAVE THESE CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH STUDENTS ”

Vickie Gimm

External Vice President UO, majoring in ethnic studies and sociology. Gimm is an ASUO senator, a member of the Programs Finance Committee, director of the Multi-ethnic Student Alliance, financial director for the Southeast Asian Student Alliance, part of the Oregon Student Association and the United States Student Association, and chair of the National Women’s Student Coalition.

Gimm first joined the multicultural center during her freshman year, and realized that there needed to be more voices directly from the student groups themselves in ASUO, so she decided to join.

“ASUO is for student groups, and they weren’t allowing people from student groups to be involved in those decisions,” she said. She explained that she feels that many people within ASUO only joined for the leadership experience, and don’t necessarily understand the importance of allowing the student organizations to have a seat at the table, literally and figuratively.

“I wish they [members of ASUO] were directors of student organizations.

I wish that they would step down and recognize that they were super unqualified to be there,” she said.

As part of the Programs Finance Committee this year, Gimm worked to get the groups that the committee was creating budgets for involved in the process.

“Traditionally, the PFC just tries to decide the budget without asking the student groups what they need, so I wanted to make sure that people practice asking ‘what do you need and what would you prioritize in your budget,’ as opposed to just making decisions for them,” she said.

Gimm plans to use her experience in both ASUO and student organizations to shift the attitude of ASUO. She hopes to make every part of ASUO more accessible, down to the computers that are located within the ASUO office.

Currently, there are signs above them stating that the computers are only for student officials.

“That is completely inappropriate because every student pays the I-fee. We all pay for these resources and we should all be able to have access to them,” she said.

She also plans to shift the ASUO to being less friendly with administration, and more willing to be tough when it comes to advocating for students.

“I want to make sure that they [administration] know that student power is a force to be reckoned with on campus,” she said. She said she hopes to improve student involvement and get students at rallies and administration meetings.

The Ducks softball team continued its winning ways to start conference play.

The Ducks (27-0) topped Cal 10-2 to earn the series sweep and remain perfect on the season.

“If you’re going to win the championship, you’re going to want to put some sweeps behind you, because this conference is very tough,” head coach Mike White said.

For the third straight game in the series, Cal took the early lead. The Golden Bears manufactured a run in the first inning without getting a hit, scoring on an error by first baseman Mia Camuso.

But as they did in the first two games of the series, the Ducks responded, scoring three runs in the second inning on only one hit.

“Every time we play on the field, we have a scrappy mentality,” said Danica Mercado, who scored two runs for the Ducks. “I think that feeds into our attitude on offense.”

The Ducks didn’t look back, run-ruling the Golden Bears in five innings.

After Kleist retired the Bears in order in the top of the third, the Ducks tacked on two more runs in the bottom half of the inning to make it 5-2. The floodgates opened up in the fifth inning: the Ducks scored four times on three hits and a pair of walks to put the game out of reach.

“We[‘ve] got to be scrappy. We don’t care how we do it,” said White.

“The most important stat to us on the scoreboard is the W.” Mercado reached base to lead off the fifth inning on an error. She scored the final run of the game on a sac-fly from Camuso.

Megan Kleist (9-0) got the start on the mound for the series finale.

The sophomore did her job — allowing one run on five hits, only walking one.

“She mixes speeds pretty well,” said White. “She can be pretty tough to hit.”

The Ducks’ offense had another shot at Cal’s Zoe Conley, after facing her in the series opener on Friday night. The Ducks scored five runs and didn’t get their first hit out of the infield until Nikki Udria smacked a double down the left-field line.

Conley was not nearly as sharp on Sunday, walking seven Oregon batters.

Besides the early error from Camuso, the Ducks were otherwise solid defensively. Infielders Udria and Lilley each made a handful of plays to help contain the Golden Bears offensive attack.

The Ducks travel to Utah for a three-game series beginning March 25. They have a chance to leave Salt Lake City with a 30-0 record.

“Utah has excellent pitching,” said White. “They’re a team that fights.”

Community college might be the better option With the rising cost of tuition, community college is looking like a better way to get an education without a lot of debt. (David Seibold)

Earlier this month, the University of Oregon Board of Trustees approved a $945 tuition hike for all undergraduate students next year, meaning a 10.6 percent increase for in-state students and a 3 percent increase for out-of-state.

UO students have had just about enough with how the administration is handling its budget issues. Every year, students have felt the burden of reducing a debt that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for.

According to UO President Michael Schill, there are plenty of different routes students can take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard, but there are choices,â&#x20AC;? Schill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students can borrow money, they can ask their parents, they can work and ask for financial aid. The number of students who have no choice is actually low.â&#x20AC;?

If you are struggling to pay off your tuition, Schill said there is a way for you to make up for it, whether that means adding another job or increasing your student debt.

Claire Corbett, a sophomore dual-enrolled at Lane Community College and UO, took winter term off UO to work part-time and study full-time at LCC. Corbett did so because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the choice to attend UO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t another option for me,â&#x20AC;? Corbett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The loans I was offered werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to cover all three terms at UO. It was either go to community college and get my education paid for or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to school at all.â&#x20AC;?

Corbett was a 3.9 GPA student in high school and believed if you work hard you will be rewarded. Corbett worked hard, but the only financial aid she was rewarded with was Oregon Promise.

Oregon Promise, which passed through legislation in 2015, is a state grant that covers most of the tuition at any community college in

Oregon. This is an important step in ensuring students in Oregon have access to an education.

Oregon promise requires students be Oregon residents with a 2.5 GPA in high school.

A similar program, Pathway Oregon, awards free college tuition to Oregon residents who graduated from high school with a 3.4 GPA and meet Pell eligibility determined by FAFSA. Unfortunately, Corbett falls short from that category, as her parents make over the salary threshold for Pell eligibility but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make enough to comfortably pay the rising cost of tuition.

Corbett saves about $5,000 a year by using her Oregon Promise scholarship, but attending part-time at UO has given her some benefits and advantages. Corbett was able to land a part-time job at a daycare through UOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Education and has made the connections to compete in the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think UO has given me plenty of opportunities to succeed, but money isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of them,â&#x20AC;? Corbett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling financially, I think community college is a great stepping stone in reducing your debt.â&#x20AC;?

Student debt lurks around every studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind when they take out loans. How much will I owe?

Is it too much? How am I going to pay it off? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upsetting to think about being in debt without having a guaranteed career path, but President Schill believes that we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid of taking out loans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Higher education debt is the best debt possible.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capitalizing you to make more money so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to pay it off eventually,â&#x20AC;?

Schill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this terrible reputation among young people that any debt is bad. The average debt at UO is around $25,000,

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not that bad.â&#x20AC;?

A $25,000 debt sounds easy for somebody who has a $660,000 salary. Schill would want students to do this rather than use alternative options, such as community college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem with community college is the likelihood theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to graduate is around 20 percent, whereas UO itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around 70 percent,â&#x20AC;?

Schill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would hope students would stay here.â&#x20AC;?

Schill seems to believe in the age-old stigma that attending community college does not lead to success. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true there is a stigma, but not an accurate one. We were taught in high school that going to community college is like taking a step-down, but financially, you could get a few steps ahead.

Rebecca Murphy, a UO graduate, attended Portland Community College before attending UO where she studied sociology. Murphy believes that community college is a good substitution if necessary, and said that it helped her earn a degree at 20 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going to a community college is not that different from taking classes at UO,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teachers are qualified and the courses are generally the same. And I saved my parents a lot more money than if I went to UO all four years.â&#x20AC;?

Community college shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be our first option, but right now, the state of Oregon is showing that it is actually the best option for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford new tuition increases.

We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to step away from our comfort zone because, in the long-run, we might be thankful that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take that extra $10,000 of debt.
