UO administrators

will try to convince state government to reverse decision for tuition increase ➥ ANDREW

FIELD, @ANDYTSUBASAF

University of Oregon administrators plan to go to Salem on Thursday to persuade the state to reverse its decision to reject an increase in UO’s tuition by 10.6 percent. The Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC) denied the increase on May 11. The university is anticipating the board to vote again on UO’s proposal to increase tuition by 10.6 percent for the 2017-18 year.

The HECC is in charge of funding Oregon state universities. Since 2013, Oregon law requires tuition increases higher than 5 percent must be approved by the commission.

The Register-Guard reported that student involvement was a concern for HECC commissioners and voted against the UO proposal by five votes to four on May 11.

The decision came a month after Oregon Governor Kate Brown expressed concern about tuition costs. Brown ordered the HECC board to ensure that university administration

consults with students, faculty and staff prior to deciding on the increase. She also inquired to assess the impact of minority students specifically.

On May 22, the university submitted a memo signed by UO President Michael Schill and Board of Trustees Chair Chuck Lillis that mentioned how the Tuition and Fees Advisory Board, which includes students, faculty and staff, held seven public meetings and published information online.

The letter also mentioned that the university created a website, which was dedicated to sharing meeting times and tuitionrelated data.

The letter also described how its Pathway Oregon program covers full tuition and fees for Pell-eligible in-state students. It also mentioned programs, such as the Diversity Excellence Scholars program and advising from the Center for Multicultural Academic Excellence, available to lowincome and first-generation minority students.

UOPD cracks down on drunk driving ➥ CASEY

C R O W L E Y, @ C A S E Y C R O W L E Y 5 5

Since the beginning of spring term, UOPD has cited or arrested 15 people for DUII. That is equal to the number of DUIIs from winter term, and six more than fall term.

According to UOPD officer Adam Lillengreen, officers have been actively cracking down on impaired driving. “Officers are more proactive in looking for DUII arrests just because there is such a safety issue associated with someone who is impaired and the harm they can cause students,� said Lillengreen.

Drunk driving has had a tragic impact on the university in the past. In 2007, a university student was hit and killed by a drunk driver at the intersection of East 15th Avenue and Hilyard Street.

The recent increase in arrests is at least partially due to an increase in officer training, according to Lillengreen.

All officers receive basic training on how to conduct field sobriety tests and use a breathalyzer. But according to Lillengreen, some UOPD officers have now gone through an advanced training program called Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE). ARIDE is a 16 hour classroom program that provides training for noticing signs of drug or alcohol impairment in an attempt to crack down on impaired drivers. “A lot of our officers are now going through that training,� said Lillengreen. “Now that they have done it for awhile and they have had this additional training, they are more confident. They are seeing signs and indicators of impairment where they might not have seen them before.�

UOPD also received a grant of around $3,400 to enforce DUII laws from Oregon

Impact, a non-profit organization that aims to end impaired driving by providing educational experiences. “Now we can have officers who call in service and come on duty and the only thing they do is investigate DUIIs. They are paid for by the state and federal grant,� said Lillengreen.

The movement to more strictly enforce DUII laws was due to a few officers in 2014 and 2015 who recognized the negative impact DUIIs can have on the University of Oregon campus and community, Lillengreen said. This has led to an increase in total DUII arrests by the UOPD. In 2016, the department made 52 DUII arrests total. As of May 17, 2017, UOPD had already made 32. If the pace continues, UOPD will make around 85 DUII arrests this year.

UOPD is also trying to educate the UO community of the dangers of impaired driving. Officers have visited local bars to practice field sobriety tests on volunteers.

These visits also allow officers to inform those who are drinking of whether they are too impaired to drive and interact with the people they are sworn to protect and serve. “We get people who are willing to participate and usually it is very popular,� said Lillengreen.

Another contributing factor to the increase in DUIIs throughout the year could be the changing weather in Eugene. The warmer weather during spring term usually means more parties and more drinking. “From my experience here, usually the more get-togethers there are, the higher chance somebody is going to drive impaired,� Lillengreen said.

➥ COLE

KUNDICH @CKUNDICH

It was shaping up to be a decision that many high school baseball players could only dream of: Go to college, or go to the pros?

For Oregon pitcher David Peterson, it was a decision he was ready to make.

Peterson entered his senior year at Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colorado, committed to play baseball for the University of Oregon. His incredible success prior to his senior year, though, had caught the full attention of Major League Baseball scouts.

That potential decision and Peterson’s career as a whole, however, took on great uncertainty when the 6’6â€?, 230-pound ace broke his leg playing pick-up basketball prior to the start of the Raiders’ 2014 season. “I remember getting that phone call from the hospital,â€? said Matt Darr, Peterson’s head coach at Regis Jesuit. “I could tell he was probably fighting back tears. ‌ He was discouraged.â€?

It was an unexpected turn for Peterson but not one that would derail him. Today, Peterson is in the midst of a breakout season atop the Ducks’ starting pitching rotation that has put him in position to be a high-round draft pick in the upcoming MLB draft in June. He’s set the school record for strikeouts and currently leads the conference in strikeouts.

It’s been an up-and-down 2017 season for the Ducks (27-24, 11-16 Pac-12), who sit in eighth place in conference standings and are expected to miss the NCAA Tournament for the secondstraight year, but Peterson has exploded onto the national scene and has been nothing short of excellent. “Everything you do, you need to have the most focus that you can. It translates to the mound,� said Peterson. “The work that I put in, and all the other pitchers are putting in, pays off when you stick

to the process, keep your nose to the grind and get after your job.�

Peterson made an impact the moment he arrived at Regis Jesuit, being named first-team All-League as a freshman. For most of his senior season, however, all he could do was offer his support from off the diamond, uncertain whether his broken leg would heal quickly enough for him to return to the field. “He was still the same leader even though he wasn’t out on the field,� Darr said. “We didn’t think he was going to come back.�

They were wrong. Not only did Peterson return from his injury in just a month and a half, but he shined, going 3-0 with a 1.15 ERA in 24 1/3 innings pitched. In his final start in a Raiders uniform, Peterson threw 7 innings, allowing no earned runs and struck out 10.

This season, the pitcher from Denver, Colorado, is 11-3 with a 2.31 ERA. His 131 strikeouts and counting are a program record for a season, blowing away the previous mark of 114 set in 2011

by Tyler Anderson. The two-time Pac-12 pitcher of the week is one win away from tying the program record for most wins in a season.

Peterson has also gained attention on the national stage. In addition to being named National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association pitcher of the week, he is a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and on the Golden Spikes Award watch list — awards given to the country’s top college baseball player. “When you have a guy like [Peterson] who’s been able to do it consistently all year, it’s unbelievable,� Oregon catcher Tim Susnara said.

Peterson hasn’t been this level of “unbelievable� throughout his entire career, most notably with his pitch command. His 13 walks issued this season is a steady drop from the 31 and 30 batters he

Out/Loud Queer and Trans Women’s Performance Fest celebrates UO’s LGBTQ community ➥ DANA

ALSTON, @ALSTONDALSTON

On Thursday, the ASUO Women’s Center will host the Out/Loud Queer and Trans Women’s Performance Fest, an event intended to showcase the culture and art of the LGBTQIA community at the University of Oregon. The festival will feature Portland-based hip-hop duo Neka & Kahlo and spoken-word poet Andrea Gibson.

Fatima Pervaiz, director of the Women’s Center, wants the event to instill hope in groups of students that need support. “We want to show [LGBTQIA] students ... that there is a group of people on this campus that love them, support them and would love to honor them,� she said. “We’re going to do what we can to support that community.�

The featured artists embody these goals. Neka & Kahlo are an interracial lesbian couple and musical collaborators. Their music, which combines smooth R&B with psychedelic beats, explores issues of identity, love and belonging. Since releasing their 2014 debut EP, “Thirdwave,� the pair have continued to entertain crowds and festivals in Oregon and beyond. Their subject matter and identity make them an exciting guest at Out/Loud, which plans to fill the Great Room in the EMU to capacity.

UO has consistently ranked high on lists of the best schools for LGBTQ students. As of March 1, collegechoice.net ranked UO 28th on a list of the 50 most LGBTQ-friendly schools. Among the factors PA G E 2

that contributed to this ranking is that the university installed more than 100 gender-inclusive bathrooms during the summer of 2016.

But recent budget cuts triggered controversy and protests outside Johnson Hall in April for cutting positions inside the University’s LGBT Education and Support Services program. For the next five to seven months, there will be no professional staff involved with LGBTQ services. Pervaiz said Out/Loud is the Women’s Center’s way of supporting students in light of these cuts.

Out/Loud also invites discussion of mental health issues and solutions. “[Mental health awareness month] is in perfect alignment with what we are doing,� Pervaiz said. “The LGBTQIA community is at greater risk for substance abuse issues and suicide, based on various factors [like bullying].�

Andrea Gibson, Out/Loud’s second featured artist, directly addresses these issues through their spoken word poetry. Gibson, who uses non-gendered pronouns, details their relationship with their girlfriend, their white privilege, classism and sexual violence through poetry. Their most famous poem, “Maybe I Need You,� has more than 700,000 views on YouTube.

Gibson works to instill positivity at their concerts, asking audience members to fill out post-it notes with small moments or memories that make them

happy. Each of these notes are attached to a poster that reads “things that don’t suck.�

Out/Loud was formerly an opportunity to give students a stage for their own work. In 2016, members of the Sexual Wellness Advocacy Team performed skits about consent in queer and trans relationships. But that structure required up to six hours of event time and made it difficult to schedule, plan and prepare. The difficulties around contracts with featured performers and maintaining an interested audience over such a long duration made the event’s organizers switch to a two-hour format, without performances from students.

Pervaiz said the change will allow audiences to enjoy and learn from the featured artists without being exhausted. And by highlighting moments of joy in the lives of Out/Loud’s attendees, the Women’s Center hopes to support LGBTQIA+ people and people of color in light of what Pervaiz calls a “hostile socio-political climate� in the U.S. “There are students whose entire families and ethnicities have been attempted to be banned from coming into the country, so we need moments of joy,� she said. “With Out/Loud, we’re going to celebrate each other and all of our intersecting identities.�

Out/Loud will take place in the EMU’s Great Room on Thursday from 6 - 8 p.m. Attendance is free.

Conrado Moya, Marimba Performance at Aasen-Hull Hall (961 E 18th Ave.), 7:30 p.m., Free Conrado Moya is a marimba soloist known internationally for his talents. He has received multiple awards during his artistic career, including winning first place at the ConUCOpercusiĂłn International Marimba Competition. In June, after several U.S. performances, Moya will be traveling to Germany to present his work and help teach others. The performance at the University of Oregon on Wednesday will also include a master class.

Moya has spent extensive time training others in the art of marimba and often collaborates with symphonies and bands around the world.

The Talbott Brothers are a Portland-based, Nebraska-born Folk duo consisting of Nick and Tyler Talbott. The brothers often use a mixture of guitar, harmonica and kick drum to achieve the modern sounding style of folk and blues music they have become known for throughout the Northwest. Their sound is derived from many famous folk and indie artists before them — they list Neil Young, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash and Simon & Garfunkel as some of their biggest musical influences.

Although they use a variety of instruments, the sound of their music is simplistic and transparent, which allows for their listeners to focus on the duo’s impeccable vocal harmonies.

The brothers — who are known for their engaging and intimate live performances — are currently touring throughout the Northwest in promotion of their third studio album, “Grey,� which was released in February.

eyes of MLB scouts

Oregon Ducks pitcher David Peterson (3) throws to the plate. (Aaron Nelson)

walked in his freshman and sophomore years, respectively. Decreased walk totals and a spike in the strikeout column have turned Peterson into one of the toughest pitchers to hit throughout the 2017 campaign.

“I go in every start the same way,” Peterson said. “It’s me versus the other guy. Keep them nameless and faceless and don’t put extra pressure on myself.”

On and off the field, Peterson is the guy that others follow. Matt Mercer, the Ducks Saturdaynight starter in the pitching rotation, praises Peterson’s mental strength and said he is one of the team’s “most vocal leaders.” Philadelphia Phillies pitcher and former Duck Cole Irvin, recalls one of the first times he interacted with Peterson.

“I remember having a team hangout, and he was the first guy to jump in [the pool] out of all the guys that were trying to lead the crew,” said Irvin. “He’s just fun and a great guy to be around.”

Out of all of Peterson’s quality starts this season, his 20-strikeout performance in the Ducks’ 2-0 win versus Arizona State on April 28 takes the crown. Not only did it give the Ducks a

series-opening win in Pac-12 play, but Peterson’s performance drew national attention from media outlets and MLB scouts.

“He was in the zone when he wanted to be, and out of the zone when he wanted to be,” said Ducks head coach George Horton following the game.

“That’s what it looks like when [star MLB pitchers Clayton] Kershaw or [Madison] Bumgarner pitch.

“That’s big league stuff.”

Once a projected high-round draft pick, Peterson fell to a 28th-round selection by the Boston Red Sox in the 2014 draft. He turned it down to come to Oregon, and through three seasons in Eugene, Peterson’s draft stock is higher than it has ever been. Baseball America has Peterson as the No. 16 overall draft prospect, with multiple mock drafts having the lefty taken in the first round of the 2017 MLB draft.

“Peterson is a big kid with a large frame. He has really come into his own this spring,” said an American League scout, who asked to remain anonymous to protect the privacy of his team.

“He can run the fastball up to 94 MPH with good life. Both the slider and the curveball have come on this season. He should go high in the draft.

Oregon Ducks pitcher David Peterson (3) celebrates after striking out the last batter and throwing a complete game.

(Aaron Nelson)

Although people outside the program may have known about Peterson prior to the season, few expected such a meteoric rise. Last season, MLB scouts kept their eyes on Irvin and Matt Krook, who was taken in the fourth round of the 2016 draft by the San Francisco Giants. This year, they are flocking to PK Park to get a live look at Peterson.

“I take it as a responsibility to be the Friday guy,” said Peterson. “I’m very thankful for [the honors] … at the same time I can always get better.

With the momentum I have right now, I just have to keep it going.”

Those in the dugout, however, including Irvin, knew that “Petey” was a special talent who can take his game to the next level.

“To be honest, I think he was overlooked [last season],” Irvin said. “He deserves to be talked about as being [drafted] in the first round.”

Peterson will square off against another projected first-round MLB Draft pick, UCLA starting pitcher Griffin Canning, at 6 p.m.

Thursday at PK Park. Oregon baseball’s last two home games are on Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m.

Streaking, tattoos and Disneyland: 15 years of an unconventional marriage and why it works ➥ SARAH Jaime and Luke Hellwege at their wedding in Las Vegas in 2000.

(Courtesy of the Hellweges)

Few storybook romances begin with a couple streaking across a bridge in the middle of the night, but Luke Hellwege and Jaime McNamara’s meeting was divine intervention. Hundreds of trips to Disneyland, a spontaneous Vegas wedding, multiple moves and lots of tattoos later, the Hellwege’s marriage is anything but boring. With their 15th wedding anniversary approaching, they took some time to reminisce and give the Emerald an inside scoop on how they’ve made their atypical relationship work.

Luke, Jaime and their friends decided to streak across a Fullerton, California bridge to say farewell before it was demolished in 2000. The two had mutual friends that planned the trek, but its impact changed the pair’s lives forever. “For me it was love at first sight, and for her, I had to convince her for about two years to like me back,� Luke said.

As students at Hope International University in Fullerton at the time, Disneyland was as close to them as Gateway Mall is to the University of Oregon. Even better, season passes were a whopping $99 for the entire year. “Every night we’d be like, ‘alright, let’s go to disneyland for a couple hours,’ and that’s where we’d hang out with people,� Luke said.

On their way to visit family in Pacific City, Oregon, the couple made a quick stop at the Cape Kiwanda sand dunes. Luke proposed to Jaime by singing her a song he wrote about their relationship. He also made her unwrap a duct-taped box with five other duct-taped boxes packed inside of that one — it eventually led to an empty final box. Jaime said she had no clue about Luke’s intention to propose that day, although she was aware of his duct tape obsession. “I thought that was the end, and then I thought he was giving me flip flops because I love flip flops,� Jaime said. Unfortunately Jaime didn’t find her beloved flip flops inside the shoe-box-sized present: “It was empty and I was like, ‘this is stupid’ and I was really annoyed, so I went to look at him to get mad at him. In that moment, he got down on his knee in front of me and asked me to be his

wife.�

A fiance beats flip flops any day.

Luke and Jaime got engaged in August 2002, and started to plan a beautiful wedding on the beach in Santa Barbara. By February the couple realized how expensive their special day would be. They were tired of waiting. “It just felt like a legality to wait until May. Why not just do it now? We’re ready,� Jaime said. They gave their close friends and family two weeks notice and flew to Las Vegas to elope.

One month later, Luke joined the military and shipped out for boot camp. “I didn’t have a great job and we were out of college, and I was like, ‘I need to do something to provide for my family.’ It was shortly after September 11 and I was feeling very patriotic,� he said.

Following boot camp, Luke went to medical training in San Antonio; however, despite being married, Luke and Jaime weren’t allowed to live together during their time there. Luke said his commander told him, “If we wanted you to have a wife, we would have issued you one.�

Shortly thereafter, Luke went to work in the Demilitarized Zone, (DMZ, the border of North and South Korea) for sixteen months. Jaime was only allowed to be there for a month of the total time, so the couple entered a season of long-distance marriage.

Cell phones were not as advanced as they are now: “No texting, no Skype — we had to learn how to communicate at 16 hours time difference,� Luke said. “It’s not something I would suggest doing. I mean, this is where faith comes in, but really, without Jesus neither one of us would have made it through.�

Both Luke and Jaime described the toll separation took on their relationship. “We had both been so independent that it was almost like we were frustrated that we were in each other’s lives again,� Jaime said. “We had to re-learn how to be a couple and live together and communicate in person.�

Donald Trump signs a stack of executive orders. The new American Health Care Act offers the possibility of rape as a pre-existing condition. (Creative Commons)

Misogyny

is a pre-existing condition I’m too angry and too tired of this subject matter to offer my usual narrative. Today, there is no backstory or prelude; we need to talk about rape.

Rape is one of the limited exceptions the GOP is willing to offer for federally funded abortions (federal funding such as Medicaid is not allowed to be used for abortions except in cases of rape or when necessary to save the life of the mother).

Though this hasn’t kept some from objecting to this exception with the belief that you can’t get pregnant from “legitimate rape.�(Statistics demonstrate you’re more likely to get pregnant from rape than from sex*).

In Paul Ryan’s early efforts to restrict abortion funding and effectively strip away access for women, he called for the rape exception to only apply to what was termed “forcible rape.� Spoiler alert: if it doesn’t look like an episode of “Law and Order SVU,� it probably won’t be classified as “forcible rape.� The wording deliberately restricted access to abortions and put a substantial burden of proof on women; they were forced to prove rape in order to abort a rape-induced pregnancy.

This burden of proof, atop a myriad of other legal and financial restrictions, substantially limited women’s access to abortions. More than 30,000 women become pregnant through rape every year. In 31 states, a rapist can sue for custody. If you’re at all interested in what custody arrangements look like in those cases, consider that the man currently inhabiting the oval office said you can “grab [women] by the pussy� and was still elected.

I know. I know. This is old news. We’ve all heard about attempts to destroy Planned Parenthood, laws to regulate abortion to the point of extinction and senseless killings in the name of the pro-life movement. Why am I enraged about this now?

The GOP pushed its proposed healthcare bill through the House and celebrated its accomplishment by smiling the smiles of privileged men with government healthcare who won’t be affected by the bill. The bill currently sitting before the Senate has been accused of labeling rape a pre-existing condition for insurance purposes (among other anti-women themes); however, the rape issue actually isn’t true.

As of now, the bill simply allows states to opt out of the ACA’s protections for those with pre-existing conditions, including those who were victims of rape if an insurance company chooses to label it a pre-existing condition. Even if states do opt out, 45 states currently have measures in place to prevent insurance companies from charging more because of rape.

In theory, at least.

In actuality, there are a lot of ways around these protections just as there are a lot of ways around a woman’s right to choose. Passing this bill in the House was a step down a destructive path in healthcare. It will impact the lives of women across this country. It will limit access to healthcare for women. It will stand as a monument to the patriarchy this nation clings to so tightly.

But it’s not just bad for women.

The outrage over the belief that this bill labeled

rape a pre-existing condition was warranted, despite the inaccuracy of information, because the bill doesn’t prevent insurance companies from labeling rape a pre-existing condition. It also doesn’t prevent pregnancy, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, lung ailments, cancer, prior surgery, food allergies, obesity or having red hair from being labeled a pre-existing condition.

The bill makes it explicitly clear that people cannot be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions; it doesn’t say they can’t be effectively denied coverage through cost-prohibitive premiums. This bill is not dangerous because of what it does say but because of what it clearly doesn’t: It doesn’t say there is a right to healthcare, regardless of your medical history.

As the days roll forward and yet another scandal breaks, it’s easy to forget the ominous nature of the choice set before the Senate. It’s easy to forget that if this administration goes the way of Watergate, we could very well end up with President Paul Ryan determining the rights of women (or lack thereof).

In many ways, I wish the bill had expressly labeled rape a pre-existing condition. At least then I’d get to ask: who has the burden of proof to show a woman was raped? #goodluckwiththat *It’s not rape vs. consensual sex because any sex that is not consensual is rape.
