đ&#x;”Ś NEWS Students and faculty look forward to new College of Design ➥ EMMA

HENDERSON, @HENDEREMMA

Beginning July 1, the School of Architecture and Allied Arts will be renamed as the College of Design.

The College of Design is being organized into three schools and one separate department: School of Architecture and Environment; School of Planning, Public Policy, and Management; School of Art and Design; and the History of Art and Architecture department.

The discussion about whether to change the name and reorganize the School of AAA has been going on for several years, said AAA Dean Christoph Lindner, but the process didn’t begin until he became dean this year. According to him, most of the AAA community is excited about this change. “We want to continue to be a highly creative, highly innovative community and what that means is a willingness to adapt change and evolve over time and so what we experience with the College of Design is sort of the latest moment of the evolution of our community,� he said.

Each school will be run by a new position at UO, a Head of School, Lindner said. He has already taken nominations from faculty for this position at each school.

Lindner said he offered the separate history department to be under a school, but the faculty requested to be independent because they are connected with all the schools and did not want to distance themselves from any of them.

The School of Architecture and Environment will include architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture, and historic preservation.

The new structure will help the new school have more collaboration between the different programs in architecture as well as between both undergraduate and graduate levels, said Architecture Department Head Judith Sheine. “The new School will be able to build on the

Department of Architecture’s reputation as a national leader in sustainable design and expand its breadth to new, closely related areas,� she said.

Kelly Schoenborn, a sophomore architecture major and interior architecture minor, is glad that there will be more separation between the various programs in AAA. “I think for architecture majors, it’s not a huge change for us because before it was Architecture and Allied Arts and so I think we had a really big part in the school, but I think it’s a good change for all of the other majors that are part of the school,� she said.

The Department Head for PPPM, Rich Margerum, is looking forward to the department becoming a school. Margerum hopes to focus on expanding research and graduate education, specifically by adding a PPPM doctorate program. “This is something that we’ve been advocating for [for] a long time, so we’re all very positive about this change, and we’re looking forward to it,� he said.

Margerum thinks that the new structure will fit and brand PPPM better because he does not feel that the field PPPM fell under the title of allied arts well.

Lindner is looking forward to how the College of Design will be branded with the new name but knows that a positive reputation for a college is more than the title. “Value and meaning are not going to come from a bunch of trendy slogans and cool logos – though we do hope to have those things,� Lindner said. “It is going to come from the quality of the work that we do, the quality of our program.� **A previous version of this story had misspelled the name of Christoph Lindner. The story has been updated with the correct spelling.

Journalism, Senior Strolling down 13th Avenue, the fashion on display can range from flannel shirts and Birkenstock sandals to football jerseys with running shoes, but even high fashion can be found on campus in the form of chic dresses and designer high heels.

Students from around the world attend the University of Oregon, bringing style influences with them, but adjusting to Eugene’s casual fashion standards and inclement climate can can be a challenge.

The Emerald profiled four fashion-forward UO students about how their personal style has developed since moving to Eugene.

Students we spoke with felt that adapting their fashion sense to function in Eugene’s wet weather and casual clothing norms was a bit of a tricky process. Senior Macaihah Broussard advises embracing personal style regardless of location. “When I think of somebody setting a trend or creating something that’s different, I think of somebody that’s not being afraid and not wanting to hold back. I just kind of wear what I want,�

Broussard said.

Here’s what each of these four students had to say about their fashion identity and how they’ve adapted their styles to fit Eugene.

Emerald: How do you adapt your style to fit Eugene?

Melissa Epifano: I think it’s about choosing pieces

that aren’t too nice. You want versatile pieces that can go well in different settings. Throwing on a bomber jacket, oversized denim jacket or wearing a sweatshirt under a nice wool coat can tone things down for school. It gives it a nice contrast while being stylish.

E: Fashion advice?

ME: My biggest advice would be to not be afraid to wear things because of what other people would think.

ME: Spring trend that you can’t stand?

ME: I can’t stand Birkenstocks, which people wear year round here, but more so in the spring. I also don’t like when people wear workout clothes to class.

I change between my cycling class and my creative writing class because I can’t stand wearing workout clothes. If there are so many stylish pieces‌ Why not wear those?

Originally from the East Coast, Epifano’s fashion influence primarily comes from childhood trips to New York City. Her chic, minimalist style sense is expressed through neutral colors and highquality fabrics. Epifano writes for various fashion publications, including CollegeFashionista.com and Suitcase magazine. She hopes to write for a major fashion magazine like Vogue after graduation.

Concert preview: Jahkoy says he can be the face of a new genre of music ➥ ZACH

PRICE, @ZACH_PRICE24

At just 23 years old, Toronto-native Jahkoy Palmer has already tasked himself with creating the next popular genre of music. His wide variety of musical influences, international perspective and everyday life experiences all contribute to his unique genre-blending sound that he says will help him achieve his ambitious goals. “I definitely see myself becoming the face of a new sound and a new style of music,� Jahkoy told the Emerald in a phone interview. “I’m just going to keep pushing and pushing until I’m able to deliver.�

When he grew frustrated by the limitations of the small music scene in his hometown of Toronto, Canada, Jahkoy decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional musician. When he moved, Jahkoy only had one mixtape released on Soundcloud.com, but it didn’t take long before a talents scout noticed him. Def Jam records signed the young musician in 2016.

In the past, Jahkoy described his music as having a “bipolar� sound, but he prefers not to use that term anymore considering it is a serious mental disorder. “[That term] was meant to express the idea that my music is all over the place,� Jahkoy said.

Now, he likes to use the metaphor of a fruit salad to describe his sound: “[In a fruit salad] you’ve got grapes, you got cantaloupe, you got all sorts of things,� Jahkoy said. “In my music, there’s R&B, reggae, elements of house; there’s everything. I love to make music as a whole, I never limit myself to one genre,� Jahkoy said. “I just make music and I try to make it good.�

He credits this ability to navigate through PA G E 2

multiple genres to his wide variety of musical influences. His personal catalog ranges from British pop artist Craig David to more mainstream artists such as Andre 3000, Rihanna and Frank Ocean.

Although these artists’ music comes from several different styles, they all helped break down barriers for others. “Artists like that weren’t afraid to tap into different genres and become the outcast. They weren’t afraid of not being the norm,� Jahkoy said. “They set a path for other artists to spread their wings and do more.�

In October 2016, Jahkoy released his first official EP, “Foreign Waters.� The seven-track record features a variety of smooth R&B, up-tempo pop and overall feel-good California vibes. Throughout the album, Jahkoy describes the experience of moving to L.A. and his love for his new home. This is apparent on the album’s hit single, “California Heaven.� The Rico Love-produced track features a guest verse by rapper ScHoolboy Q. “[Producer] Rico Love and I thought it would be really cool to have one of my favorite Californianative artists on the record,� Jahkoy said. “So we reached out and two days later we had a verse from him.�

Jahkoy is currently promoting his record as one of the opening acts for Kehlani’s Sweet Sexy Savage tour. British R&B singer Ella Mai and Japanese alternative rock band Noodles serve as the tours other openers.

He first met Kehlani when they both performed at Lollapalooza last year. Since then, the two have developed a close friendship. They have even

discussed collaborating in the future but haven’t had time to write anything due to their rigorous tour schedule.

This is his first nationwide tour, but performing with a high-profile artist is nothing new for Jahkoy. He has opened for the Chainsmokers, The Neighborhood, and Tinashe in the past.

So far every stop on the tour has sold out, according to Jahkoy. He added that audiences usually show up early and stay for the duration of the performances. Jahkoy says he tries to make sure every crowd member is having a good time with his energetic stage presence.

After each show, Jahkoy likes to go out into the audience and meet some of his fans. To him, that’s what being an artist is all about: making music, performing music, then experiencing and sharing the music with the crowd. “An artist isn’t anything without their fans,�

Jahkoy said.

Critics say that despite his natural talent and impressive first release, the Toronto-native turned California-rising star needs to develop his sound in order to capitalize on his recent success. Jahkoy says he’s only just begun.

He likes to use writing a book as a metaphor for his musical career. “I feel like I’m just finished writing the intro and am about to start the first chapter,� Jahkoy said. “This tour is going to set the tone for the rest of the book.�

Jahkoy will perform with Kehlani, Ella Mai, and Noodles on Friday at WOW Hall. The show is sold out.

This weekend presents a unique opportunity to improve your cultural culinary skill at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History. This event explores the “staples and regional differences of Mali cuisine.�

The West African country is known for its spices, therefore, the demonstration will include spice identification, preparation and cooking methods for rice and grains using spices. For $35, participants can watch these demonstrations and then participate in the mini-workshops. Tastings include various grains, regional sauces and sesame bites, and participants get to take home a special package of rice and grains when the night is over. The cost of the workshop also includes a glass of wine or beer with your tastings. Seats at the global table are still available, but preregistration is required. Visit natural-history. uoregon.edu for more info.

Alt-country quintet Futurebirds will bring its brand of slide guitar-led melodies to audiences when they arrive in Eugene this weekend.

Known for its high-energy shows and unique sound, the band has released three albums, including 2015’s “Hotel Parties.�

Based in Athens, Georgia, Futurebirds has been active since 2008. Known for their hits “Rodeo� and “Only Here for Your Love,� the band combines classic country elements like pedal steel guitar and rolling percussion with alternative rock. Their music captures a somber, bittersweet mood while still providing enough energy to fill arenas. The band also adds bits of psychedelia in some songs, and showcases the talents of their guitarists with soaring guitar solos. Fans of other countryblending bands like Deer Tick and Middle Brother will find plenty to love in Futurebirds’ sound. Expect a head-bobbing show with enough mellow instrumentation to fill a country barn.

Oregon’s offensive line fighting to get back with a vengeance BY: Shawn Medow @ShawnMedow | PHOTO: Aaron Nelson With four redshirt freshmen starting, Oregon’s offensive line last year was inexperienced to say the least.

The unit took its knocks, allowing 24 sacks in conference play alone, and things only got worse after a seasonending injury to then-junior Tyrell Crosby. Oregon’s youthful offensive line was forced to step up on its own.

“It sucked having to watch it all,” Crosby said. “But even though I was on the sideline, I was trying to give my help as much as I can to all the young guys.”

New head coach Willie Taggart added co-offensive coordinator Mario Cristobal, who is a specialist with the offensive line, to fix the problem.

“They understand that if we are going to be successful, it’s going to have to start in the trenches and it’s got to finish in the trenches,” Cristobal said. “Overall, we’re progressing, but we still have miles to go. But we will get there.”

Crosby is back practicing with the offensive line in the spring and said he wants to become more of a vocal leader on the field. He turned down an opportunity to declare for the NFL Draft, deciding instead to return to Eugene and play for Taggart’s team.

“There were a lot of factors that played into it,” Crosby said. “He let me make that decision on my own and then after I told him, he was

just excited.”

Now that the offensive line has some experience playing together and an experienced coach in Cristobal, Oregon’s offensive line is coming together under the former Alabama assistant coach. He says he’s been impressed by every lineman he’s worked with so far.

“Now, who is going to be the first five? We’ll figure that out day-by-day,” he said.

Players had to adjust to a moving depth chart — meaning it’s constantly in flux — and said they had to prove themselves every practice. Players say the increased competitiveness in practice has positive effects on the team and that they are taking to the new coach.

“He’s really fiery. He’ll make me motivated to make a sandwich,” redshirt sophomore Shane Lemieux said. “He’ll text me just random stuff like, ‘We’ve got to be the toughest unit in college football.’”

Last season’s struggles are not forgotten. The 4-8 record was deemed a failure, and that sits in the minds of the players, especially for the offensive line, which took much of the blame.

“I think we’ve come in every single day with a chip on our shoulder, knowing that we have the toughest guys on the team and we can show it on the field,” Lemieux said.

Oregon Head Coach Willie Taggart speaks to reporters before the start of practice.

Willie Taggart looked to connect with his seniors this spring BY: Shawn Medow @ShawnMedow | PHOTO: Adam Eberhardt and Phillip Quinn Before Willie Taggart bought a home and welcomed his family to Eugene, he made connections with Oregon’s 23 seniors.

Taggart, who’s working to take the Ducks back to glory after last year’s 4-8 season, said the experienced Ducks will allow him to reset the tone. Plus, Taggart realizes he failed to connect with seniors at his previous stop — USF. “You hear people talk about it all the time,” Taggart, Oregon’s first-year coach, said. “That just doesn’t happen just because we literally want to have some senior leadership.”

For Oregon’s seniors, change has just been part of the collegiate equation. Seniors have played under two head coaches in Mark Helfrich and Taggart. Some were recruited by Chip Kelly — not Helfrich. Oregon’s defensive players have seen three different coordinators — Don Pellum, Brady Hoke and now Jim Leavitt.

“It feels different but in a good way,” senior offensive lineman Tyrell Crosby. “We’re all excited about it.”

Taggart has ushered in a new era of football

with his unique flare. He routinely engages with players and fans on Twitter — a departure from the previous coaching staff.

“The energy that they bring to practice and the confidence that they instill in us — they’re just letting us play,” senior wide receiver Darren Carrington said. “Right now we’re just learning a bunch of new stuff, but it’s good to see their excitement in us and their faith in us and hopefully we can just come out this year and put on a show.”

Taggart realizes a connection with the roster’s elder statesmen is part of building leadership.

“I didn’t do [that] enough at my last two stops — spending time with those seniors and guys who have been here a while and been recruited by other coaches,” Taggart said. “... I think that’s important for me to make sure I know every kid but especially the seniors because they only got one time with me.”

For defensive lineman Jalen Jelks, the arrival of a new coaching staff brought a renewed sense of passion.

“People are coming out here and ready to play,” Jelks said. “One improvement I’ve noticed is coming out and being able to listen to your coach.

And have somebody that wants to teach you something that you’ve never learned before and has enthusiasm about coaching you.”

Taggart has spent time with the seniors to get to know them better, saying he wants to help develop important leadership qualities in the seniors that will benefit the entire team.

“It’s kind of new to all of us,” Crosby said about Taggart’s team-bonding efforts. “It’s different from what we’ve been doing in the past but it really helped us all grow as a team.”

Oregon’s most experienced players have helped the Ducks to a College Football Playoff appearance. The Ducks missed out on a bowl game for the first time since XX in 2016. But Taggart still sees the building blocks for improvement.

“I think we have some awesome kids here — I shouldn’t call them kids — young men here that, like I say, really want to win and really want to do it the right way,” Taggart said.

Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt directs players during a drill.

OREGON’S DEFENSIVE DOCTOR BY: Gus Morris @JustGusMorris | PHOTO: Adam Eberhardt and Phillip Quinn

Doug Brenner jokingly calls him a psycho. Troy Dye compares him to the Energizer Bunny.

Juwaan Williams says his team’s new defensive coordinator is always loud.

That is, when he’s had his daily dose of Pepsi, usually no less than three cans a day. But he only runs on original Pepsi — never Diet, Cherry or Vanilla.

During Jim Leavitt’s days at Colorado, because his wife didn’t allow Pepsi in the house, he often stopped at 7-11 to snag a couple bottles of his favorite drink.

“I don’t know if I could go to a Coke school,” Leavitt said.

The 60-year-old Leavitt, Oregon’s new defensive coordinator, is a one-ofa-kind coach who, during the offseason, became the Pac-12’s highest-paid assistant. Over his 39-year career, football has thrown the kitchen sink at him.

He’s coached all over the country, from Iowa to Florida, Colorado and California.

He’s built a program from scratch, been fired twice, coached a Super Bowl team, sent players to the NFL and developed some of the best defenses in the history of college football.

Now, he’s been tasked with one of the most daunting jobs in the conference — rebuilding Oregon’s shattered defense, which even UO President Michael Schill joked about during the offseason: “Go find a great defensive coordinator,” Schill said during a press conference in December.

Schill had the statistics to back up his joke. The Ducks were the nation’s thirdworst defense in 2016.

But for Leavitt, this lowly scenario is nothing new.

“If we play good defense here, we’ll tell a great story,” Leavitt said. “If we don’t then I won’t be here for long … and that’s the way it should be.”

A fast start Leavitt’s college football career began at Missouri, where he played four years under coach Al Onofrio and anchored the Tigers’ secondary as a safety.

After graduating in 1977, he spent two years as a graduate assistant at Missouri before heading to the state of Iowa where he bounced between smaller programs before landing another graduate assistant job at the University of Iowa.

Leavitt spent each summer from 1980 to 1988 living out of his car at a KOA campground near campus to save his $300 stipend from Iowa and put it

towards his doctorate in psychology. He was working on the research for his dissertation when Snyder, when then-head coach of Iowa, called him and asked him to come coach with him at Kansas State.

When Jim Leavitt arrived at Kansas State with soon-to-be Hall of Fame coach Bill Snyder in 1995, the program was in freefall.

The Wildcats hadn’t won a game in 27 consecutives tries (0-26-1), had totalled three wins the prior four seasons and had one of the worst defenses in the country.

“They were bad,” said Leavitt, who eventually became the codefensive coordinator.

Then, Leavitt and Snyder worked their magic. In five years time, Kansas State became the second-best scoring defense in the country. The Wildcats won their first bowl game in school history, finishing No. 6 overall in the AP Poll.

After helping raise Kansas State from the ashes, Leavitt received offers to coach elsewhere left and right, including one from the NFL, but only one opportunity stood out to him: South Florida. The school offered him its first head football coaching job. Leavitt was sold.

So, on Dec. 30, 1995, a day after Kansas State’s Holiday Bowl win, Leavitt boarded a flight home and, at the same time, into uncharted territory.

‘Start football’ Leavitt spent 14 years at South Florida refining his craft for building programs.

In this case, he started with nothing.

There were no facilities, no locker rooms, no uniforms, no goalposts and no helmets. The school’s inaugural football venture was lacking everything — except Leavitt.

His first meeting with school administrators took place in a deserted trailer — which would later become his office — that the New York Yankees had left from spring training months earlier.

Leavitt said he will never forget what athletic director Paul Griffin said to him that day.

“Paul looks at me and says, ‘Start football,’ ” Leavitt said.

It took him exactly 10 years and 10 days to get the Bulls from their first game to a top-25 team. In 2007, the Bulls peaked at No. 2 in the country.

Jim Leavitt yells during practice as he tries to rebuild Oregon’s defense.

Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt passes the ball to linebacker La’mar Winston Jr. (32).

From 2005 to 2009, Leavitt’s final year at USF, the Bulls had a top-30 defense for four of those years and appeared in five bowl games, winning three of the them. Leavitt recruited current NFL players Jason Pierre-Paul, Nate Allen and George Selvie.

Yet, for all he did at South Florida, his unexpected departure in 2010 marred his success on the field.

A player accused Leavitt of striking a player at halftime of a midseason game. USF fired Leavitt after administrators concluded that he interfered with their investigation of the incident by telling players to change their stories of the incident.

To this day, Leavitt insists he did nothing wrong — and thinks USF fired him so it wouldn’t have to pay the remainder of his $12.6 million contract. Leavitt said he also thinks part of the motivation was because he hadn’t yet brought a national championship to South Florida.

“I know the story,” Leavitt said. “I know I didn’t do anything wrong.”

After his termination, Leavitt filed a wrongful termination suit against the school and spent a year away from football fighting his case. USF settled to the tune of $2.75 million dollars.

Leavitt wanted to be clear that he wasn’t after a big payout but wanted to get the amount of money high enough to prove to people that “they were might be another side to his story.”

USF President Judy Genshaft, through a secretary, declined to comment.

Life after USF In Leavitt’s eyes, the sudden departure actually proved to be beneficial.

Leavitt became the linebackers coach with the San Francisco 49ers in 2010 and helped install the stifling defense that led them to three NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl over his tenure.

“He’s actually been one of the great position coaches I’ve ever had in my tenure in the NFL,” said linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who has spent seven years in the league.

And when the 49ers parted ways with Jim Harbaugh in 2014, Leavitt and the rest of the staff departed as well.

Leavitt then took the defensive coordinator job at Colorado. In two seasons,

Leavitt transformed the Buffs’ defense from the 112th nationally to 24th.

“The energy and passion he brought to the defense really changed the culture we had,” Rick Gamboa, a sophomore linebacker at Colorado said. “We had a lot of talent, but he was definitely the missing piece for us.”

Once again, other schools came calling. While Leavitt didn’t name specific suitors, he said schools from the SEC, Big Ten and Pac-12 schools offered him jobs.

But when freshly-hired Willie Taggart called, Leavitt knew it was the right fit.

“I had a previous relationship with him,” Leavitt said of Taggart. “But also, I loved Oregon. … I wanted to go somewhere you could push for championships.”

Taggart said Leavitt’s credentials fit the bill.

“I think we all saw what he was able to do at Colorado,” Taggart said. “When you watch them, it’s not like they had the most talented guys. But they played hard and they made plays by playing hard and they believed in each other. And that’s what you want as a defense coordinator.”

A New Task in Eugene Since his arrival on campus, Leavitt has already made a loud first impression.

“Coach Leavitt is a psycho,” Oregon offensive lineman Doug Brenner said with a smile. “And we love it. He’s drinking Pepsi and screaming at 6 a.m. and doing laps on the field. It’s great.”

At practice, he’s sometimes more active than his players. He never stops moving or talking. He challenges his players to counter his energy.

“You got to match it,” Oregon linebacker Troy Dye said. “It’s hard to do because he’s always on go-mode.”

His players say his passion for Pepsi is the only thing that rivals his passion for football, even dating back to the NFL. “Anytime he got a Pepsi, you’re definitely going to get the full Jim Leavitt,” Bowman said.

Leavitt, who will earn $1.15 million a year, understood the project he inherited in Eugene. Coaching turnover — three defensive coordinators in the last three years — has left things out of sorts.

He knows the rebuilding will take time. “Nothing is easy,” he said.

And it may take a few hundred cans of Pepsi as well.

NEW COACHES BRING CHANGES: WILL THERE BE A NEW QUARTERBACK? BY: Jack Butler @Butler917 | PHOTO: Aaron Nelson The first time Willie Taggart spoke to the Oregon football team, he stressed that every position would be an open competition. A new coach brings a clean slate for every player at every position, including quarterback.

Last season, Justin Herbert became the bright spot on what was an otherwise dark and dismal 4-8 season. Now his starting spot is no longer guaranteed; Travis Jonsen and Braxton Burmeister aren’t going to surrender it easily.

Although most in the media believe that Herbert will end up with the starting job, Jonsen, a redshirt sophomore, feels like it is truly an open competition. A fresh start may be exactly what he needs.

He was in a similar position last season while battling Dakota Prukop in the spring. By most accounts, Jonsen played well in last season’s spring game. The narrative throughout fall camp was that it was a battle between Prukop and Jonsen, but when the depth chart was released before the opening game, Jonsen was listed fourth.

With plenty of signal callers in the mix, Oregon quarterbacks coach Marcus Arroyo just wants everybody to compete, no matter their history. “[Arroyo] says, ‘Hey, go take someones spot,’ so I think that’s everyone’s mindset,” Jonsen said “He really emphasizes the film room,

EUG to PHX

which I really like. ... You are what you put on your film.”

Throughout spring drills, Herbert and Jonsen have typically split the reps. Herbert is usually the first quarterback running the miniscrimmage, but Jonsen gets first-team reps as well.

For Herbert, the competition is “great for everyone.” Herbert is citing his growth from a half-season worth of experience. Specifically, he wants to work on his footwork.

“Not bouncing up and down every time I drop back,” Herbert said. “I used to step too far back with my right foot. It caused some issues, so Coach Arroyo and I have been working on that.”

The starting job is most likely down to Herbert and Jonsen, but freshman Burmeister is the wild card. He comes from La Jolla, California, and his combination of passing and running ability makes him unique. “[Burmeister] has been a student of the game already,” Arroyo added. “You want to be hungry, so I am excited about his eagerness to be out there.”

Fans and media will see the quarterbacks work in the new offense for the final time before fall camp this Saturday during the spring game.

Although it feels like Herbert’s to lose, Jonsen or Burmeister could also provide Oregon fans with a glimpse of their future quarterback.

Hometown: Honolulu, Hawaii

Major, Grade: Asian studies and International studies, Junior

E: How has your hometown influenced your style?

Villahermosa: Being in Hawaii really influenced my style because it’s a mixing pot of cultures and fashion styles. The weather is pretty much always the same but everyone wants to keep up with the fashion styles on the mainland. We like to wear ripped jeans but also give things a Hawaiian-esque feel, so we wear flowery tops or floral items.

E: How do you describe your style?

V: “I bounce back and forth between laid-back, skater-girl fashion. I like to wear khaki pants that boys would wear and crop-top sweaters or shirts. I also like floral rompers, spring dresses and heels. It really depends on what my mood is for the day and what the weather is like.

While living in L.A., Alyssa Blackman worked for a small clothing boutique. She closely followed fashion trends at the time and took issue with how expensive many of the popular items were. Blackman realized that she could create and sell less expensive versions to her friends and customers online. Now that she is about to graduate, Blackman plans to continue wearing her personalized style as she enters the workforce.

E: Fashion advice?

V: Go to any store in the mall and grab a bunch

of different clothes that you’re not necessarily comfortable wearing, try them on and see how you feel in them. Don’t be afraid to try different styles every now and then because you never know what will interest you or look good on you if you don’t try it.

E: How do you adapt your style to fit Eugene?

E: When did you first become interested in fashion?

Blackman: That was one of the hardest changes to my wardrobe, not only because of the weather constraints, but mostly the comfort aspect. People in Eugene dress for comfort and convenience and it was hard because my outfits are always the farthest from those two C’s. I tried to lessen aspects of my outfits, but soon I got over the shrinking of myself and decided to keep wearing funky clothes because it’s what makes me happy and confident. I wear the same outfits I would wear in L.A., but I just add a big fuzzy sweater or coat to it. To this day, I still refuse to wear or own a rain jacket, even when it’s pouring rain.

Broussard: I actually dressed really bad all

throughout middle school and most of high school.

In middle school I wore a lot of oversized shirts and in high school I wore a lot of athletic clothes. I really started to focus more on fashion when I lost 30 pounds and slimmed down a little bit. I became more interested in what was trending during my freshman year of college.

E: How do you describe your style?

E: Where do you find your fashion inspiration?

B: All of freshman year my friends would joke around and call me Mr. GQ. Now my friends call me hipster or trendy. I don’t intentionally do this or think about it but I always have one piece of clothing that’s a bit out there.

B: “I’m constantly online shopping and looking at fash-

ion blogs for different outfits. My biggest inspiration is a fashion blogger based in New York. She’s known as We Wore What, but her name is Danielle. Another really cool one is based in big cities and it’s called Citizen’s Couture. It’s a couple of photographers who go around and just take street-style pictures of people and sometimes they’re influencers, fashion bloggers or people in fashion, but then sometimes they’re just random people who have really cool outfits.

E: Fashion advice?

B: Just think outside of the box. It’s easy to gravitate

toward that sweater or that color that you like, but I think that putting yourself out of your comfort zone is a big thing with fashion.

Originally from Oregon, Broussard grew up observing the state’s laid-back fashion scene. As he developed an interest in fashion, the world around him became his main source of inspiration. Broussard is striving to promote self-expression through his willingness to take risks and embrace the styles that he loves.

E: Fashion advice?

Amber Villahermosa switches back and forth from casual pieces to more dressed up, feminine pieces. Her fashion influences come from a mixture of her Hawaiian roots and interest in the fashion trends happening on the mainland. She finds fashion inspiration from her friends and magazines such as Vogue. Her ideal spring outfit is a dress or romper with a floppy hat.

B: Understand that when you’re trying something

for the first time, people will question it, but you just have to keep doing it. If you want to rock it, you’ll rock it. Just be confident in what you wear regardless of what people say. I would say just to get out in the world and pay attention to different textures. Be observant of everything that’s not fashion.

đ&#x;‘? ENTERTAINMENT Jeremy Wade wrestles with ancient shark in ‘River Monsters’ final season premiere ➥ FRANKLIN In the premiere of Animal Planet’s final season of “River Monsters,â€? host Jeremy Wade hooks the biggest catch in show history: a 14-foot “sixgill,â€? or cow shark, which he pulled from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Hence its name, the sixgill shark has six gill slits while most other shark species have only five.

The shark, which is rarely seen on camera, is more closely related to extinct fossil species of shark than any living species today.

Another jaw-dropping catch for Wade is nothing out of the ordinary. Wade has made a career of investigating mega-aquatic attacks and (literally) catching the suspects, but his days of televised fishing are coming to an end.

In this episode, “Killers from the Abyss,� Wade investigates the aftermath of the RMS Laconia sinking.

Eyewitness accounts

LEWIS @FLEWIS_1

describe passengers being attacked and dragged underwater while awaiting rescue in the water. Besides the sixgill shark catch, Wade reels in a mahi-mahi, snoak, big-eyed jack and a tiger shark in the special one-hour episode Sunday night. He also plunges into 2,000-foot-deep water with a dead pig strapped to his submersible to take a closer look at the sixgill shark in its natural habitat.

Known normally for unearthing freshwater beasts, Wade broadened his search of aquatic monsters to all bodies of water starting season eight and looks to be continuing this trend for the final season. “Although we’re getting short of material,� Wade told Metro US while promoting season nine, “We’ve kept the best stuff to the last.�

It is a testament to Wade’s success as an angler that the show has been able to

find nine seasons worth of material. He has continued to deliver catch after catch and has inspired anglers from around the world.

One of Wade’s most impressive feats was catching a massive arapaima in Guyana using just a fly fishing rod. Most of these rods are constructed for smaller, tamer species like the bass or salmon found in Oregon. The arapaima hooked in the season six episode weighed well over 100 pounds and could have snapped the flimsy nylon line at any moment during Wade’s battle with the South American river monster.

The zroduction of “River Monsters� has resulted in various achievements in marine biology, too.

Wade was the first ever to document the elusive Glyphis shark on camera.

He has also tracked rouge bull sharks in Africa and Springtime brings more than just sunny skies and flowers. For many on campus, spring signifies the end of wearing turtleneck sweaters, scarves and winter coats on an everyday basis. More clothing options become available thanks to warmer weather, and most of us feel like we start to get some of our fashion freedom back.

Many college housing setups make organizing your closet and getting prepared for mini skirt weather tricky.

Small closets and limited storage space are frustrating to work with, but with a little bit of time and effort, you can find a way to make more room for your spring wear and pack away your winter clothes until next year. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when reorganizing: Store your winter coats Winter coats are typically bulky and take up a lot of precious closet space. In order to create more room for your crop tops and mini skirts, find a place to store your coats. You likely won’t need them again until the fall. Try using plastic storage bins, which can usually fit underneath your bed or on top of your closet.

Keep a light rain jacket

nabbed box jellyfish to harvest their venom.

While Wade has brushed with death multiple times over the course of his career — even surviving a plane crash — arguably his most-dangerous adventure came in season five, when he ventured into Chernobyl in pursuit of a radioactive Wels catfish.

He even rescued a castaway on an uninhabited Australian island.

While some “River Monsters� purists might oppose some of the new antics the show has taken on — moving away from freshwater, sending Wade in a submersible, etc. — Wade the fish-whisperer continues to astound with his ability to reel in fish other anglers can only dream of attaining.

within reach It may be warming up, but in Oregon the weather can be a bit unpredictable. It’s not unusual for it to be sunny one minute and pouring down rain the next. For this reason, it’s a good idea to keep one light rain jacket in your closet so you’re prepared. Rain jackets are typically thin and won’t take up too much space in your closet or dresser.

Light sweaters are always a good idea You may want to put the majority of your thick, wool sweaters away, but it’s a good idea to keep a few lightweight sweaters within reach. Keep your brightest colored sweaters available to set the spring mood and store your neutrals.

Color coordinate It’s a lot easier to put an outfit together in the morning when you know which color shirt you’re looking for. Color coordinating is not only practical, but it makes your closet look more aesthetically pleasing and will save you some time.

Be mindful of hangers If you have ever hung up a sweater or a nice shirt only to take it off the hanger and discover that it has creases on

it, you’re not alone. Sometimes hangers with grips can be more harmful than they are helpful. Pay close attention to which hangers work best for your clothes. Spaghetti strap shirts work well on hangers with grips whereas sweaters, cotton tees and silky dresses don’t. Try folding your lightweight sweaters and hanging anything other than thin-strapped tanks on hangers without grips.

Switch out your shoes Tall boots aren’t a spring necessity and can also take up a lot of closet space. Consider storing these boots underneath your bed or in a plastic bin for the spring and summer seasons. It’s best to prioritize space for one or two pairs of booties, sneakers and sandals.

Get creative with storage bins It’s common for college students to have small spaces to work with when it comes to storage. Plastic bins are great, but there are other options if you can’t place bins in a concealed area. Try a decorative basket or a fabric bin with a simple design on it.

These storage options will give you some extra space while adding character to your room.

đ&#x;‘? ENTERTAINMENT Climbing community: The Rec Center’s

rock wall provides more than just exercise for students ➥ L E V I G I T T L E M A N Tiana SantaBarbara, a sophomore at the University of Oregon, stared at students scampering up the rainbowcolored plastic rock wall located in the heart of the Student Recreation Center. “I feel like this would be a great place to bring a date,â€? she said. “If it got really awkward, you’d always have something to talk about, and you’re bound to see somebody else you know.â€?

Throughout the day, students can be seen attempting to conquer the wall by reaching the top or simply socializing with the large community that constantly flows in and out of the area.

The indoor rock climbing scene began in 1987 when the Vertical Club in Seattle opened the first indoor climbing gym.

It continued to evolve into an industry as companies such as Patagonia and Black Diamond produced materials

for avid climbers.

Indoor gyms provide a space for beginners to make their first ascents and for experienced climbers to fine tune their skills in less risky situations. They also create an opportunity for students to join and interact with a large community of outdoorsy people. The UO rock wall even has its own Facebook page where members frequently sell climbing gear, post about upcoming events and ask others if they want to go climbing. “The climbing wall is super social,� said Will Phelan, an experienced rock wall climber and former rock wall employee. “Whether you go to the rock wall alone, with a date or with a large group, it’s easy to meet other people.

It’s a great way to be active, relax with friends and try new things.�

Collin Wellman talks to Lana Caldwell as she belays her friend up the climbing wall at the UO Recreation Center. (Levi Gittleman)

The climbing community at UO comprises a variety of people. Most share a common love for the outdoors, but some are simply drawn to the seemingly tiny figures dancing their way up a 30foot wall while dangling from a long rope.

Senior Lana Caldwell has been a part of the climbing community for a few years. “Climbing is such an ‘anyone can do this if they try hard enough’ type of sport, so you meet people from all different walks of life, ages, countries, majors, etc.,� she said. “I don’t know any other place where people say, ‘Hey I see you’re struggling, let me help you with that.’ �

Whether you want a new date spot, a place to push your climbing skills or an opportunity to meet new people, the climbing wall has it all.

EmX BUS
