MALONE, @ALLMALONE

“Fruit Bats has always been one of those bands [that has] never been the biggest band in the world, but we tend to get a lot of props from other big, notable bands,� Eric D. Johnson, Fruit Bats’ singer-songwriter, told the Emerald.

While the name of the Portland-based indie-folk band may not ring a bell, you may recognize those that have covered its songs. The Decemberists have covered “When U Love Somebody� and My Morning Jacket tried its hand at “Wild Honey.� “It’s very flattering to think that our peers and people who are these heavy-hitters are going out there and repping for us,� Johnson said.

In his story-filled albums, Johnson will introduce you to well-sketched characters, as he does with the song “Heart Like an Orange� off 2011’s Tripper. He sings with a nasal timbre, like The Shins’ James Mercer with a permanent head cold: “Tried to live on the beach and was seared by the sun / Back on the farm, his folks were up in arms, crying ‘our baby’s a bum!’ / But them Florida girls kept him at ease / Ginger and rose and jasmine and all the other smells on the breeze / Up from the marshes she came to him / like a flipflop floatin’ on a wave.�

Fruit Bats is playing at the HiFi Music Hall this Saturday, Sept. 23. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 on the day of the show. Doors open at 9 p.m. Show starts at 10 p.m. 21+.

World of Warcraft: Legion is a great time to start or return to the game ➥

M AT H E W B R O C K , @ M B R O C K

The world of Azeroth has faced many threats over the last dozen years. Armies of undead threatening to devour all life, ancient evils awakening to break the world apart and even an invasion of orcs from another timeline trying to repeat a brutal history. All those threats pale in comparison to the Burning Legion, an army of immortal demons whose only goal is to eradicate all life in existence.

Azeroth is the only world to ever defeat the Burning Legion before, a mistake the Legion intends to correct.

World of Warcraft is over 12 years old, but thanks to six expansions worth of content, graphical updates and refined game mechanics, it still holds up to most modern standards. Such a legacy might seem intimidating at first glance, but the game’s latest expansion, World of Warcraft: Legion, has made it much more accessible to anyone interested in giving it a try.

Whether you’re entirely new to the game or have played one of the past iterations, Legion comes with a free boost to level 100 for a new or existing character. This lets you get straight into the game’s most relevant content immediately and gives you the opportunity to go back to older content at your own leisure. Boosted characters start in a special single-player scenario that will teach you the basic game mechanics you would have learned while leveling from 1-100. The expansion also features the new Demon Hunter hero class that starts at level 98.

One thing Blizzard Entertainment has strived to do with this expansion is to focus on storytelling and what they call “the class fantasy.� They have tried to make specializations for each of the 12 classes unique, resulting in 36 drastically different play styles with their own themes. Each class also has a class-specific storyline that varies in tone and style. The paladin class stands as a champion of justice that rallies the forces of light to fight back the demon hordes, while the warlock uses knowledge of dark magic to enslave their own army of demons to fight fire with fire.

Legion is all about doing things at your own pace. Zones and dungeons scale to your level, which makes enemies retain a certain level of challenge even at max level. This also allows players to pick the order in which they progress through the expansion’s four new leveling zones. Maybe you want to go to Stormheim to battle with Vikings first or to Azuna to aid an ancient dragon and his cursed

ghost neighbors. Once you hit max level you’ll unlock Suramar, a fifth zone devoted mostly to in-game storytelling.

Before you even begin leveling, you’ll be introduced to a new form of progression that will carry on after you reach level 110: your artifact weapon. Each class has an artifact weapon for each of their specializations. Every weapon has a unique skill tree that requires a resource called Artifact Power. Gaining certain thresholds of Artifact Power will allow players to spend it on a new ability in their talent tree. Each artifact has its own unique quest and backstory and some, like the Ashbringer and Doomhammer, are well known legendary weapons from the game’s lore. You can also unlock additional appearances and color schemes for each weapon.

Alongside your artifact weapons, you’ll be introduced to your class hall. This is an area in the game that only members of your specific class can enter and serves as your home base. From here, you can command champions to go out and unlock or complete quests for you in the world or accompany you as you do them yourself.

For those that have played the previous expansion, Warlords of Draenor, it functions similar to the Garrison, yet requires much less micromanaging. It can also be managed out of the game with the new Legion Companion app for iPhone and Android devices.

Once you hit max level, there are a variety of options to keep progressing your character. One new feature is World Quests, which are recurring events that appear in any of the new zones and change daily. If you want to group with other players you can do dungeons, which have four difficulty settings. Professions are also much more in-depth and have their own quest lines and catch-up mechanics.

Player vs. Player content has also been revamped to feature a prestige system that gradually unlocks a set of PvP specific abilities that can be reset for cosmetic rewards. Two 25-player raid tiers, The Emerald Nightmare and The Nighthold, as well as a slew of different world bosses, will be gradually released over several weeks starting Sept. 20.

The expansion’s first major content patch, Return to Karazhan, has also been revealed, which will feature the fan favorite raid remade as a five-player dungeon.

Legion can be purchased as an addition to the base World of Warcraft game for $49.99 and additional monthly subscription costs.

TUITION INCREASE

IN PERSPECTIVE ➥

M A X T H O R N B E R R Y, @ M A X _ T H O R N B E R R Y

Students will continue to feel the strain of rising tuition at University of Oregon this year, and for some, confusion surrounds how their money is being spent.

Tuition for in-state students rose 10.2 percent in the 2011-12 school year, then 7.3 percent, 5.9 percent, 4.9 percent and 1.6 percent in the following school years. The 4.8 percent increase for 2016-17 represents the first percentage spike in tuition increases since 2009-10. “Tuition dollars are general fund dollars,� Brad Shelton, Vice Provost for Budget and Planning, said in an email to the Emerald. “They pay for most of the basic operations of the academic and administrative portions of the university.�

When the Tuition Fees and Advisory Board voted to increase tuition by 4.8 and 4.5 percent for resident and out-of-state students, respectively, in January, students rallied in protest. ASUO members participated in the public comments section during the March board of trustees meeting in order to express their discontent with the board’s refusal to work with them. “We’re not willing to work with you if you’re not willing to work with us,� said ASUO Finance Director Shawn Stevenson, the Emerald reported earlier this year.

State Funding Falls Short State funding for the University of Oregon has been recovering since a major decrease of 32.25 percent between 2010-11 and 2011-12, but tuition prices have continued to climb as well, nullifying the increased state funding.

This year, UO’s budget increased $17.5 million, primarily from increased tuition costs. Cuts were also made to administrative budgets.

According to Shelton, “All of the UO’s administrative units did a careful analysis of their budgets and made strategic cuts to their general fund

PA G E 6

M O N D AY, S E P T E M B E R 1 9 , 2 0 1 6

budget of at least 2 percent [...] these cuts were directly related to the need to keep tuition from rising any more than necessary.�

Institutional Response The budget increase is required because of the recent unionization and collective bargaining done by UO faculty members.

The 4-year-old United Academics Union, led by professor of sociology Michael Dreiling, recently won salary increases for its nearly 1,800 members that make up much of the faculty at UO. “All that labor, which is the main expense at the University of Oregon, is the most vital asset of the university,� Dreiling said. “You need to invest in your crucial asset if you want excellence. I think President [Michael] Schill is getting this.�

Faculty at UO have ranked at the bottom of a peer group of nine universities in terms of salary. In a 2015-16 AAUP Salary Survey Study, the UO lags behind its peers’ in every category.

Data that reflects the raises to faculty will not be available until October according to the Office of Institutional Research.

Last year, tuition and fees accounted for 42.2 percent of the income for UO, a drop from 46 percent in 2013-14. Beginning in the 2009-10 school year, tuition and fees at UO began to climb significantly — an 18 percent increase from 2008-09 to 2009-10.

Items such as electricity, paper and wireless internet as well as the salaries of professors, counselors and Title IX investigators are paid for by tuition.

Shelton clarified that tuition dollars are generally not used to pay for auxiliaries such as housing, parking and the student recreation center.

The Best Investment

Anyone who has taken microeconomics will be familiar with opportunity costs — the highest-valued alternative that must be sacrificed in order to get something else. The question of whether college is still worth the wages

STATE

$5,000

and time foregone in the workplace is still answered with a resounding yes, according to UO economics professor Bill Harbaugh.

“The real cost of going to college is the income you sacrifice while going to college,” Harbaugh said. “And that’s OK because the return in terms of higher income is so high that it wipes out all those other costs [of going to college]. Easily.”

The UO is the sixth most-affordable college in Oregon for in-state students, according to collegecalc.com, and the 22nd most affordable school in Oregon for out-of-state students.

“About 48 percent of our students get some type of federal aid,” said Jim Brooks, Director of Financial Aid at UO. In January, Marketwatch reported the outstanding bill for student debt in the U.S. was $1.2 trillion, or 37,471,896 years of school at UO —paying current out of state tuition. Student loan debt is second only to mortgages in overall U.S. debt.

But not all financial aid has to be paid back. Two of the largest contributors to students at UO in terms of aid are grants that at least a quarter of the student body qualifies for, and the Oregon Opportunity Program, which provides about $6 to $6.5 million a year for students at UO, said Brooks.

While only Oregon residents are eligible for an Opportunity Grant, the Federal Pell Grant is available to all qualified students, offering up $5,815 a year. Eligibility for the program is determined when students fill out a FAFSA, and the grant can be applied for at any point in the year to still receive the full year’s funding.

Moving Ahead Students are facing the hard reality of increasing costs; however, they are weighing the sacrifices against potential benefits.

“The financial reality of the upcoming academic year is not pleasant, but it is clear,” said Chuck Lillis, chair of the Board of Trustees. “Continually rising labor costs, unfunded mandates and the ongoing pursuit of excellence are not inexpensive, and they are not all met by the state’s relatively low investment in higher education.”

University of Oregon falls behind OSU in national sexual health rankings ➥

WILL CAMPBELL, @WCAMPBELL

A recent study ranked Oregon State University the number one sexually healthy university in the U.S. The University of Oregon, however, was absent from the list.

Vice News online magazine, Motherboard, reported on the study conducted by an independent research group called The State of Education. The study used three indicators for their scoring: STD rate in the school’s county, annual sexual assault rate and sexual health and education resources. “What they looked at was STD rate along with sexual assaults,� said Elisabeth Maxwell, UO health promotion specialist who received a doctorate in Public Health from OSU. “Those are not two things that are commonly evaluated together. That is not a measure that is anywhere academically acknowledged.�

Maxwell thinks a similar study by Trojan condoms, released last year, better indicates the status of sexual health in U.S. universities because it referenced more relevant data, she said.

The Trojan report also ranked OSU No. 1 for sexual health in the nation. Maxwell said the Trojan study looked at sexual assault services at schools – but not the actual rates, as did the State of Education report – making it a better indicator of sexual health, she said.

On this list, the University of Oregon landed the No. 6 spot. “We’re climbing up,� Maxwell said of UO’s performance in the annual Trojan study. It ranked UO No. 48 in 2013, then No. 17 in 2014, and now No. 6. “That’s actually since I’ve been here, so I’ll take credit for that,� she said with a laugh.

Maxwell received her masters degree and PhD at OSU, where she then taught public health until moving to UO a year and half ago.

Although she didn’t work in OSU’s clinic, she thinks UO offers similar resources and reflects OSU’s STD rates.

In an effort to find solid numbers on the STD rates at UO, Maxwell partnered with Dr. Anna Hejinian, university physician, to launch the new STD and STI Screening Clinic at the UO health center.

In 2015

student government offered a grant of $40,000 to UO Health Center for free HIV testing to students, but other tests range from $10.75 to $59.00.

The clinic opened two weeks ago. It fast-tracks the process for student STD testing, and offers an affordable price, according to Hejinian. She said four students had visited the clinic earlier in the day.

Open every morning except Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., the clinic is staffed by specialty-trained nurses who were trained by Maxwell and Hajinian.

The clinic screens for STDs in students who are asymptomatic – meaning no symptoms appear. If any do, the health center will refer the student to a physician or a nurse practitioner, Hejinian said.

In 2015, student government offered a grant of $40,000 to UO Health Center for free HIV testing to students, but other tests range from $10.75 to $59.00. The health center also offers a wide variety of free contraceptives.

Last year, the UO health center conducted over 3,100 chlamydia and gonorrhea tests, Hejinian wrote in an email to the Emerald. The results of chlamydia- and gonorrhea-positive results at the UO showed numbers that “roughly correlated with national averages for people aged 19-24,� the email stated. “Part of the reason we wanted to start the UO STI Screening Clinic was to help put a dent in these discouraging statistics,� she also wrote in the email.

Hejinian expects the STD data to show meaningful results within six months to a year, but in the meantime, urges students to get tested.

WITH HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD Elevated lead levels were found in the water of at least four residence halls, including Barnhart, Walton, Hamilton and Bean Halls, UO Housing Director Michael Griffel said via email to residents on Sept. 14.

More than 20 percent of tested fixtures have elevated lead levels, according to the email.

Griffel encourages residents to not use water from bathroom faucets or drinking fountains for drinking or cooking. He also noted that water bottles or dispensers will be handed out to occupants. Water usage for personal hygiene and washing “is fine.�

Many students will be staying in these dorms prior to the first day of classes and could affected by the water. They have been informed about the lead levels via printed flyers and emails, the UO reported.

Carson Hall had one fixture with elevated levels that will be repaired.

The Living Learning Center water is safe to consume. Results are not in for Earl Hall. Global Scholars Hall has not been tested but is not expected to have issues.

University Housing is ensuring that water used in dining facilities is safe for consumption. “Like many public agencies with lots of buildings, the UO has been voluntarily testing for lead as part of a water quality monitoring program launched in late spring,� the release

on AroundtheO reported. The testing results for residence halls has recently become available.

The water from the affected faucets has more than 15 parts of lead per billion, which is unsafe for human consumption, according to the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. High lead levels in water can contribute to negative health effects especially for pregnant women, infants and young children under 6 years old.

The UO has not received reports of any medical conditions supposedly resulting from lead in its drinking water, the email stated.

The UO’s Environmental Health and Safety Office has been pursuing a comprehensive update of its drinking water monitoring plan, using EPArecommended best practices. Its first step was to test drinking fountains and bottle spouts in all UO buildings for lead content, the email stated.

Earlier in 2016, UO tested water samples from the Vivian Olum Child Development Center and Moss Street Children’s Center, which were safe to consume.

UO Communications Director and Public Information Officer Kelly McIver was not available to comment immediately.

Students gathered in protest at Johnson Hall after a vote was passed for a tuition hike on March 4, 2016. (Samuel Marshall)

UO student works on corporate tax measure in hopes of improving higher education ➥

TRAN NGUYEN, @TNGUYEN

When Amy Schenk started to work for “Vote Yes on Measure 97,� she was doing it because a friend asked her to.

But as Schenk learned more about the measure and its potential consequences, she said she was in the right place.

Schenk, ASUO local Affairs Commissioner, is involved with local politics that have immediate effects on students. She was in charge of organizing the protest against the tuition increase and helped found the UO Students for Tuition Transparency student group.

This time, the project is different.

Measure 97, or Oregon Business Tax Increase Initiative, is on the ballot this November as an initiated state statute. If it passes, the state will increase corporate taxes by 2.5 percent on corporate gross sales that exceed $25 million. The increase would translate into roughly $3 billion extra in Oregon’s general fund and become the biggest tide of new tax revenue in any state in the nation this year, The New York Times reported.

According to the language of the measure, the new tax revenue would go back to state spending on education, healthcare and senior services, but it does not bind the legislature to a specific plan.

The measure will not help boost state funding for higher education; however, Schenk says it will help increase funding for Oregon’s K-12 program and ultimately have an impact on University of Oregon. “[The measure] will not directly affect students in higher-ed,� she said. “But our K-12 program is not ideal. With tax money that can help K-12 level students, hopefully that would give them a chance to go to universities.�

Oregon is among the lowest in high school graduation rate nationally — 69 percent in 2012-2013. Schenk said students have to deal with large class sizes that limit one-on-one time with their teachers. “I want to make sure that students in Oregon are cared for,� Schenk said. “But the more I work on it, the more important I find [the measure] is.�

But not everyone is happy with the measure. Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce President Dave Hauser emailed chamber members last

Measure 97

If it passes, the state will increase corporate taxes by 2.5 percent on corporate gross sales that exceed $25 million. month, calling the proposed tax on certain corporations’ gross sales an “unprecedented tax increase,� the Register-Guard reported. “After research and presentations from advocates, opponents and tax professionals, our Local Government Affairs Council and board of directors voted to join forces with businesses across Oregon to oppose Measure 97,� Hauser wrote. “Educating our members and working to defeat this measure is a priority for our chamber.�

He also pointed out in the email that the new tax revenue is not guaranteed to be spent on education, healthcare and senior services.

Oregon governor Kate Brown gave her endorsement to the measure via email sent to supporters in August. “I support Measure 97 because there is a basic unfairness in our tax system that makes working families pay an increasing share for state and local services, including public schools, senior services and health care,� Brown said in the email. “Our state cannot move forward and meet Oregon’s growing needs over the next decade without a more stable revenue base. Measure 97 is an important step forward, and I will make sure the funds the measure yields go ­toward schools, health care and seniors, as the voters expect.�

Schenk said she has faced some opposition from businesses while advocating for the measure. “I think it’s the misinformation that big corporations are sending out,� Schenk said. “Small businesses are scared that it will hurt them.�

Schenk is counting down the days until the election. “Fifty-four more days,� she said at the interview. “My plan is to spread the word and advocate students on every level until then.�

Individuals looking through guns to buy in Houston, Texas. (ourtesy of Creative Commons)

Gun Control — Common Sense that Isn’t Common Knowledge ➥

ZACHARY MOSS, @ZACHMOSS6

“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed� U.S. Second Amendment Ironically, most people who talk about the second amendment forget the first clause that emphasizes a “well-regulated� militia.

What would you say if I told you there is a problem in the U.S. that affects over 100,000 Americans annually? Would you want to solve this issue? Or would you turn your back on the problem?

Gun control is one of the most debated issues in the U.S right now. It is important to mention that I’m not an “ultra liberal hippie pacifist� who hates guns and loves Obama; I am, in fact, a huge fan of guns. I grew up around guns. Although I like guns, I do not let my bias blind me from the cold facts that gun violence is one of the largest problems in the U.S. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I mention gun control and instantly hear a group of ignorant individuals scream their battle cry that Obama is going to take our guns away. Rest assured, this is about the need for more gun control to save lives — not just to take them.

President Obama recently mentioned a previously unknown fact that gun violence in the U.S. has killed more Americans than terrorism since 9/11. On average, guns end the lives of more than 80 people in the United States every day.

Imagine if we took the same statistics on gun violence in the U.S, but changed the name of the country to, say, Russia. Do you think our government would lose their mind over these facts and alert the international community? I bet that we would.

A counter argument to the gun debate is that only good guys will follow the laws and bad guys will still get guns. My answer is that this argument is right to some extent. Although it may be true that some bad guys will still find ways to get guns, my money is that there will be a significant decrease in the amount of gun violence because with more regulations would make guns less readily available.

One story that provides a personal perspective on the issue with gun regulations is the time I went to a gun convention with my dad. While I was at the convention with my father, who worked for the prison systems, I saw him look at another man in a very focused and cold stare.

What I didn’t know at the time was that my dad recognized the man standing next to us; he was a recently released felon looking to buy a gun.

It turns out that guns are so easy to buy that a felon could stand next to me, buy a weapon, and suffer no penalties. The outcome of the story was that the felon started to buy the gun until he turned around, recognized my dad and left because he realized my dad worked in the prison systems and recognized who he was. In this case, imagine what would have happened if my

dad wasn’t there to recognize this guy. My point is that regulations aren’t perfect, but they may stop some criminals from buying guns — like the felon at the gun convention.

Although gun violence is affecting thousands of people a year, there are some proposed solutions and positive steps forward. One proposed solution is to first get rid of gun convention loopholes and increase regulations including psychological exams, extensive criminal background checks and mandatory safety courses. Ironically, we are required to have a license for driving a car but not for owning a gun — unless you get a concealed handgun permit.

Gun regulations may seem like common sense, but they aren’t common knowledge because many people still don’t know what gun regulations entail. Gun regulations aren’t about taking your weapons, they are about assuring that people who want weapons are fit to have them. If we do not continue to push for gun regulations, then the alternative is the continual increase in mass deaths of innocent individuals. We must now ask ourselves: Will we stand for what’s right or will we continue to ignore the realities of the situation?

Ducks golf team finishes third in first tournament of the season Oregon opened its 2016-2017 golf season with a third place finish at the Red Raider Invitational in Lubbock, Texas. The Ducks were led by a trio of underclassmen who all finished in the top 15 individually.

Freshman Amy Matsuoka and sophomore Petra Salko each finished the weekend with a six-over 222, good enough to a tie for tenth place. Fellow sophomore Kathleen Scavo tied for 15th overall with a score of seven-over 223 for the weekend.

Oregon got off to a rough first round. As a team, they shot an 18-over 300 and found themselves in fifth place when the round concluded.

But Oregon bounced back. In the second round, lead by Salko and Scavo, the Ducks posted a three-over 291 and jumped into third. Salko shot a two-under 70 in the second round and finished her day with a two-over 146. Scavo posted scores of one-over 73 in both her opening rounds to also finish at two-over 146.

While Scavo and Salko posted the high scores of the day, senior Cathleen Santoso delivered the biggest shot.

On the 10th hole, a par three, Santoso landed a hole-in-one. She finished five-over 149 for the day.

Oregon’s final round saw them shoot an 11-over 299, putting their score at 26-over 890, good enough to remain in third place. They finished one stroke behind host Texas Tech who finished second with a 25-over 889.

Matsuoka led the Ducks on the final day of action. She shot an even par (72), and finished her last two rounds at two-over 146. Salko and Scavo finished at four and five-over par respectively while Santoso finished at four-over par.

Sophomore and new team No. 1 Brooke Hamilton couldn’t recover from a rough first round nineover 81 and finished the weekend at 16-over 232.

Oregon returns home for a few days before heading to Ann Arbor, Michigan for the East-West Match Play Challenge, which runs from Sept.

18 to Sept. 20.

Kelly Graves lends strategy advice at Bay Area high school coaching clinic

Oregon head coach Kelly Graves visited the San Francisco Bay Area for the inaugural Hoops4Girls Coaching Clinic in Orinda, Calif. (Jonathan Hawthorne)

➡

J O N AT H A N H AW T H O R N E , @ J O N _ H AW T H O R N E

ORINDA, Calif. — Look closely at Oregon’s routine and you’ll see plays, drills and ideas derived from many of the people Kelly Graves has met during his years coaching basketball.

He’s constantly learning, talking and teaching — all in an effort to “grow the game” at the high school and collegiate levels.

Sunday, he was at Miramonte High School to speak with roughly 50 high school coaches in the inaugural Hoops4Girls coaches’ clinic.

Washington’s Mike Neighbors and California’s Lindsay Gottlieb also took part, along with high school coaches Malik McCord and Sue Phillips.

Graves focused on drills and in-game strategy during his one hour presentation.

“This is how the game evolves,” Graves said. “Almost everything that I’ve run, I’ve gotten at least part of it from one of these kinds of drills or talking to a coach. You tweak it here or there and then it’s your own.”

Oregon women’s basketball’s third-year coach makes a point of speaking at a few clinics around the country yearly, but he was close to his roots on Sunday. He took his first Division I job at St. Mary’s in 1997. Graves stopped for lunch at Nation’s Burgers, one of his favorite spots from his coaching days there.

He demonstrated ball screens and re-screens for the coaches, weaving in anecdotes about current and former players. He talked about sophmore Maite Cazorla and freshman Sabrina Ionescu, who was in attendance on Sunday.

“I don’t think there will be a better combination in the country in ball

screens,” said Graves. After explaining ball screens, Graves detailed an inbounding play.

“How many people fall asleep on inbounds?” Graves asked the group. “We take pride in that.”

After taking a few questions, Graves distributed business cards with his cell phone number. He “loves the follow up” when coaches email or call with more questions. Graves has many of his plays diagrammed and video recorded, making it easy to forward along. Having direct access to a Pac-12 coach is unique, attendees said.

“It’s huge because it closes the gap in a sense,” Bishop O’Dowd High School’s assistant coach Matt Lane said. “They take the ego or success out of the equation. It’s just, ‘Hey. Let’s talk basketball.’ It doesn’t matter what level you are.”

Graves said he hopes clinics like the one on Sunday strengthen the connection between the high school and collegiate coaches.

“Maybe when we come down and play at Cal or Stanford, they might come to the game and reconnect,” Graves said. “That’s kind of where you get to know people.”

Lane jumped at the chance to attend the paid event in Orinda. It’s not often three Pac-12 coaches visit the Bay Area on the same day, let alone the same gym.

“It’s a chance to pick the minds of coaches who have been in our shoes and have gotten to the next level,” Lane said. “They’re willing to reach back and be open and communicate. They’re helping us learn and master our craft.”

đ&#x;“– COVER

Six new hires to UO’s leadership A new school year makes for new faces on campus, but not just new students are showing up this Fall. UO greets new leaders among its faculty.

Newly arrived University of Oregon students step into fall quarter at a time when school is evolving. Ombudsperson, architecture and journalism are among the departments at UO that have a new dean at the helm. Some of these new deans determine the direction of their department. Some improve student life. Some shape the scope of science and research.

Collectively, these six new individuals at UO influence the direction of the school.

Welcome Christoph Lindner, Juan-Carlos Molleda, Brett Harris, Doneka Scott, Kris Winter and David Conover

Christoph Lindner ➥ MIGUEL

SANCHEZ-RUTLEDGE

Christoph Lindner has lived and worked in dozens of countries during his life, but his next chapter has him living in Eugene, where he will be the newest dean of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon.

Upon coming to Oregon, Lindner was ecstatic to begin his work at UO. “What makes me very excited about being here is that there is a lot of positive energy on campus,�

Linder said. “I am really excited to be joining the university that is here now and I am even more excited to about being part of building the university that’s coming.�

Lindner comes to UO from the Netherlands where he was a professor of media and culture at the University of Amsterdam. From 2010-14, Lindner was the director of the Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis. Lindner has published many

works on urban planning and design including “Paris-Amsterdam Underground: Essays on Cultural Resistance, Subversion, and Diversion�

Lindner has conducted many studies regarding interrelations between cities, globalization and political ecology. Despite his accomplishments, Lindner admits that he can’t do well in this position without knowing and becoming a part of this community. Lindner hopes to cultivate a sense of unity at UO. “You need to know and understand your community,� Lindner said. “You can’t provide direction or leadership to a college unless you actually know the people who are there. My job is to make great things happen for other people, and that’s how I measure my success. My success comes with the success of our students, faculty, departments and university.�

Juan-Carlos Molleda ➥ MAX THORNBERRY

The new dean of the School of Journalism and Communications values different perspectives.

Juan-Carlos Molleda is honored to take the helm of this 100-year-old school after moving across the country from the University of Florida. “I’m coming from outside, from a peer institution,� Molleda said in a phone interview with the Emerald, “I bring a wealth of experience in academia.�

In addition to his lengthy list of professional accomplishments, Molleda brings diverse experience and a new vision to the school. He is the first dean of the SOJC with a professional background in public relations and the first Latino.

Molleda said that some of his goals are making the PhD program stronger, emphasizing experiential learning as “essential for success� and improving the synergy between the Eugene and Portland programs.

“My bachelor’s [degree] is in journalism, then I have experience in PR,â€? he said. “This is why it is called the school of journalism and communication, because there are different fields of study. [‌] I have always worked with journalists and understand the importance of the work they do.â€?

Molleda and his husband moved to Eugene on June 26, roughly a week before he began at UO. Since then, he has enjoyed the move, particularly the summer weather. “Florida is very humid, very hot,� he said, “then you come to Eugene and there is no comparison.

You have a lot to do, not only in Eugene but in the state.�

Molleda is appreciative of his leisure opportunities as well as his team at the university. “In the SOJC, I have a really great staff who are helping me to understand the administration,� he said, “and the faculty is helping me to understand their curriculum.�

Brett Harris ➡ TRAN NGUYEN

(Tran Nguyen)

Brett Harris isn’t new to Oregon, in fact, she lived in Lincoln City in 2005 and since then, she said she hasn’t been able to get Oregon out of her mind.

The former ombudsperson for University of Mississippi has recently joined the ombuds office team at the University of Oregon, taking over UO professor Jennifer Reynolds. Founded in 2014, the Ombuds office is one of the only confidential and neutral services for all campus members to discuss concerns, explore options and find resources for conflict resolution.

With a background in dispute resolution and experience working as a mediator and attorney, Harris was hired to be the first ombudsperson at UM in 2015. She holds a bachelor degree in American Studies from Idaho State University and a J.D. from the University of Idaho College of Law with a degree emphasis in Native American Law. “The university and the people were wonderful,” she said of UM. “[My family and I] loved our time there.”

Harris said leading UO Ombuds office is an “amazing opportunity.” She hopes to grow and shape the already established program into a substantial resource for campus members. Her focus will be on educating and training the the community on conflict resolution.

Her family, including her husband, Wesley, two of her younger kids, two Labrador Retrievers and a cat, just moved to Eugene Sept. 12. “It’s challenging,” she said, but she’s glad to see her four year-old and ten year-old adapting well with their new schools.

Her husband, who worked in nursing administration in Mississippi, is excited to be here in Oregon because he will be able to fly fish.

“We don’t have any spot to fly fish in Mississippi, mostly because we are afraid of alligators,” Harris said with a laugh.

Harris also enjoys cooking and doing outdoor activities such as snowboarding and hiking.

Kris Winter

David Conover Doneka Scott

Kris Winter becomes the dean of students at the University of Oregon on Sept. 19 after leaving that position from Oregon State University.

As dean of students, Winter helps the UO community by “removing barriers, responding in crisis, building community and upholding integrity,” she told AroundtheO, UO’s website for news releases.

“There will be everyday moments, ‘ah-ha’ moments and moments that challenge you.” she wrote in her announcement on the dean of students website. “In all of these moments, I want you to know that my staff and I are here for you.”

Winter replaced Paul Shang as the dean of students after Shang retired from UO in August. Vice President of Student Life Robin Holmes held the interim position until Winter was hired, according to AroundtheO. Winter earned her undergraduate degree in educational studies in 1998 from UO, her master’s from OSU and is currently working on her doctorate from Portland State University, according to the UO Dean of Students website.

David Conover moved to UO from Stony Brook University to fill the Vice President for Research and Innovation position on Aug. 15, according to the UO provost website.

At Stony Brook, Conover was a professor of marine science in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, where he also served as dean from 2003 to 2010. Conover has authored over 125 publications on oceanic fish.

“My background and experience in research and administration will benefit the great work that is taking place across campus and around the globe every day as we further strengthen and expand discovery and innovation at the UO,” he said on the UO research website.

SOLUTIONS: NEW EMU FOOD VENUES SUPPORT STUDENT WORKER RIGHTS

Students at Chipotle in the renovated EMU. (Savannah Mendoza)

This fall, the newly renovated EMU is now open to students. New restaurants like Chipotle, Starbucks, and even a Falling Sky are among the additions and old staples like The Fishbowl and the Buzz CafĂŠ no longer exist, leaving student workers in a difficult position.

Classified employees, too, were laid off from previous positions.

A concern is that these students were unfairly laid off March of 2015, putting job security at risk and the integrity of the UO housing department into question.

I interviewed Dan Geiger, who was in charge of EMU renovation, and I think there is no issue about students’ right to work. The student workers and classified employees who were laid off in March 2015 were protected. “We work pretty hard to ensure staff that were employed found other jobs on campus,�

Geiger said.

The EMU hibernated for six months for the renovation. During this time, the majority of the student workers from the EMU were placed at the satellite cafes on campus. These cafes are located at Lillis, Lawrence, the Knight Library and HEDCO. There were some weeks, Geiger said, the students were not employed, but they were soon relocated. As for the classified (non-

student) staff from the Fishbowl and Buzz CafĂŠ, four were given new jobs on campus while a fifth employee moved to the satellite cafes.

One of these classified employees is Margaret Hoff, who managed the Fishbowl. Hoff now oversees the UO Outdoor Program. Geiger was pleased to see Hoff’s hard work and dedication could remain on campus.

In addition to the renovation, new dining options have increased the job opportunities for students. While the former EMU had a few dining jobs, the new EMU has increased the job potential for students. Upstairs, Subway and Panda Express have new neighbors: Chipotle, Starbucks and Joe’s Burgers. The new EMU Duck Store offers convenient store-like snacks too.

The EMU is managed by a board of directors who are mostly students, which means student employment was a key factor in their decision making process. With the renovation, there are now ten food venues at emu, compared to the four, including Subway and Panda Express, in March 2015. There are twice as many job opportunities at the new EMU and more hours for student workers. Falling Sky hires students, Geiger indicated.

Another concern with the EMU renovation is

that it favors corporations, like Starbucks and Chipotle, over businesses like the Fishbowl, which offered local, more organic food options.

Geiger reported this could not be further from the truth.

For students who prefer local coffee and food over chain establishments, the downstairs venues offer plenty of healthy and locally grown choices. Because Eugene and UO have a strong environmental aesthetic, Geiger is confident these students will savor new additions Red Wagon and Falling Sky, which both utilize organic and local ingredients.

Townsend’s Tea is local too and offers selections of coffee, tea and kombucha. The new Fresh Market opening downstairs, an extension of the restaurant at Global Scholars Hall, includes organic foods like fruits and vegetables and grain bowls.

Geiger has not heard many complaints about the new restaurants, and with the new EMU officially opening this fall, it’s unlikely he will.

⚡ SPORTS Women’s Golf

Season preview:

Oregon golf is in store for a busy fall

➡

GUS MORRIS, @GMORRIS

Oregon Women’s Golf Assistant Coach Laura Cilek talks with Oregon junior Cathleen Santoso before she putted on hole 8 at the NCAA Women’s Golf Championships. (Adam Eberhardt)

During their first team meeting of the fall several days ago, Oregon women’s golf head coach Ria Scott and her team recalled their first fall meeting of last year. Around a year ago, the coaching staff asked the team if they thought they could win a national championship. The answer last season, according to Scott, was a yes, but there was some hesitation in that answer.

This year, when Scott posed the question again, her team’s response was slightly different.

“This year, it was a really convincing yes,” Scott said.

Now, less than four months removed from Oregon’s deep push in the NCAA Championships, the Ducks have a newfound confidence.

Oregon has national title aspirations in mind once again, and this year the Ducks think they can achieve that goal.

Last spring at Eugene Country Club, Oregon retold the Cinderella story in the NCAA Championships. The Ducks shot their way to the quarterfinals but eventually fell to UCLA. Still, Oregon considers its championship run incredibly rewarding and invaluable, regardless of result.

“It was just an unreal experience,” senior and team captain Cathleen Santoso said.

Santoso is one of three returning seniors, along with Marcella Pranovia and Brenna Murphy. She was Oregon’s top performer last spring and looks to build on her success this year before turning pro upon graduation.

Pranovia has had a less conventional career at Oregon so far.

Last fall, she fell out of the rotation but regained her composure in spring. She earned her spot back and was a key part of Oregon’s postseason run.

Murphy hasn’t played significant time in several seasons but she could find herself back in the rotation if she performs well in qualifying this week.

Along with the seniors, Oregon brings back juniors Kelsey Ulep and Megan Conder. Ulep had four finishes last season either at or below par. Conder missed all of last season with an injury but is back on the course now, and according to Scott, “is hitting it farther than [she’s] ever seen her.”

The Ducks also return two sophomores: Petra Salko and Kathleen Scavo. Both played a significant role in Oregon’s success last spring and will be key pieces for the Ducks again this year. “They’ve definitely come a long way,” Santoso said. “I really expect some big things from those two.”

Joining this already deep roster are Daniele Giles from Talent, Oregon, and Amy Matsuoka out of Newport Beach, California.

The Ducks have a busy fall schedule ahead of them. They kick their season off on Monday, Sept. 12 at the Red Raider Invitational in Lubbock, Texas. Then they travel to Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina and finally Hawaii at the end of October to wrap up their fall season.

The Ducks want to see as many NCAA regional sites as possible before spring rolls around.

“I don’t want to blindside our team with any conditions we haven’t seen before,” Scott said. “That’s the method to my madness.”

Scott and the Ducks have all the reason to be confident heading into the fall half of their season. They returned all but one player, Caroline Inglis - who departed for the pros - and have a young, talented core.

Pair that with several seasoned veterans and a couple highly-touted freshmen and you’ve got yourself a national championship contender.

Don’t expect it to be quiet enough for catching up on homework but do expect to meet someone new over folding intimates in a hopping public place.

5. Emerald Laundromat, also on East 17th avenue behind the Safeway,

is typically a better place for focusing or for solitude, with the white noise of industrial-size machines whirling in the background. The added bonus here is that the Pint Pot Public House is right next door so you can sneak in a cold one between loads.

6. Holiday Laundromat on West 11th avenue boasts a very colorful, retrostyle interior, piping jazz music and offering reliable wi-fi. A little further from campus, this location is on the EmX line and near the Eugene Public Library and other downtown attractions.

WHEN PESTS ATTACK A Warning for First-Time Renters Written By: Delaney Rea reshman year has come and gone. The memories are still fresh, and while you hold onto the experiences of dorm life closely, you’re glad to be out from under the thumb of the RAs and mandatory fire drills.

Plus, your new house is awesome, your roommates are the bee’s knees and you’re stoked to be a first-time renter for the first time in your life. Despite all these silver linings, there’s one thing you didn’t account for. Your new home has horrors in store that you never could have imagined.

F

WHEN PESTS

ATTACK!

What is this threat, you ask? Spiders. Spiders the size of your hand, who don’t care about your personal space. Spiders ready, willing and able to crush your dreams and ruin everything you’ve worked so hard to accomplish.

When moving into a new house, a common unexpected problem is the presence of unwanted pests. They’re the worst roommates you can ask for, and we’ve all heard countless stories of new tenants receiving the unfortunate surprise of spiders and other small invaders making their experience at their new house less than optimal.

If you don’t suffer from arachnophobia now, that can change in a heartbeat.

Despite this frightening reality, there is hope to cope with these pests. The most important rule is to remain calm. Remember that old adage that these devious crawlers are more afraid of you than you are of them. If there’s nobody else around to help you deal with the sudden appearance of an unwanted spider, don’t panic: I’m here to provide my tried-and-true pro-tip for such a scenario. Simply grab the nearest cup or bowl, along with a firm newspaper or magazine.

Covering the tiny beast with the dish (the less transparent the better, obviously), slide along the surface it rests upon onto the (now useless) periodical you’ve chosen. Carefully carrying your apparatus outside, you will now have two options: either allow the insect to crawl out into the great outdoors, or hurl the cup with abandon if you’re not feeling compassionate. You probably won’t be. With any luck, your waking nightmare will now be over – until the next intruder, of course.

For a more effective, long-term solution that only requires chemicals that won’t harm anything

other than the spiders, use a combination of liquids spiders avoid at all costs: peppermint oil and vinegar. Cover the entry ways and windows of your home with ½ cup white vinegar, 1 ½ cups water, and 20 drops of peppermint oil. It’s a quick, clean fix that will have pests keeping far away from your door. It also helps to keep your house clean and mess-free; spiders and other pests are attracted to cluttered, miskept spaces.

If your pest problem is truly out of your control, there’s always outside sources to save the day.

Pest control can be a valuable asset in these situations if you find yourself surrounded by insects and other unwanted guests. Eugene has

plenty of options for pest control, with businesses like American Pest Management (541-6880580) and Ultimate Pest Control (541-607-1500) among the best reviewed. If it does come to this, remember that you are not the homeowner - your landlord is responsible for any pest issues if they ever want to keep tenants. Check your leasing rights to make sure that the landlord must cover the costs of an extermination. They may or may not have to, but in all likelihood, they will be able to compensate for the termination of any spider-pocalypse. Though you may encounter unexpected guests in your new place, fear not; solutions are out there. Maybe just don’t hang out in the attic.

The Ultimate Room Revamp

DIY DÉCOR Written By: Nicole Scopelliti

With dorm and apartment move-ins under way, making your personal space inviting and unique is probably on your mind.

Whether it’s your dorm room, your living room or your kitchen, making a space your own is a rewarding experience. Still, how can college students create exciting living spaces on a tight budget? DIY and upcycled décor is the way to go.

1. DIY Crate Nightstand Wooden crates are the perfect building blocks for DIY projects. They provide extra storage with a unique, rustic flare. Versatile and durable, they’re perfect for building nightstands, chairs, ottomans and more. Not to mention, wooden crate projects are easy on the wallet.

For this project, you will need: - Two wooden crates - Spray paint or brush paint - Screws or nails, and a screwdriver, hammer or drill Stack the two wooden crates, any size you prefer, on top of one another with the open, top portion of the crate facing outwards. Attach the two crates by using screws or nails until the stand is sturdy. After they are attached, you can choose to add paint. The nightstand will provide plenty of space for customization, such as displaying pictures and other items.

Wooden Crates: Available at Michael’s Craft Store in Springfield for $9.99 each.

Liquitex Professional Spray Paint: Also available at Michael’s for $11.99.

Total Cost: $30-35

2. DIY Yarn Décor Textile art sells for upwards of $80 at Urban Outfitters. To forego outrageous prices and create personalized artwork for your own space, here’s what you’ll need to create your own yarn hanging:

- Scissors - Rolls of yarn - A twig, branch or piece of dowel

Begin by cutting the string twice as long as you’d like it to be. Fold your first piece of yarn in half. This will create a loop on the end. Hang this over the front of the stick. Pull the remaining portion of your string through the loop, and then make sure to pull it tight. Continue doing this with the rest of your strings before you are satisfied with the end product. Make sure there are no gaps in between the strings. Cut the bottom of your strings into an asymmetrical structure or a v-shape to add an extra artsy touch.

Bundle of Yarn: Available at Michael’s for $3.49 each.

Wooden Dowel Pack: Available at Michael’s for $3.29.

GAMEDAY

ESSENTIALS Written By: Sam Styles

W

hen you set foot in Eugene after a summer of recharging and relaxing, school seems like child's play. The tropical sun has fried away all memory of cramming for tests and that embarrassing breakdown you had mid-presentation in front of 300 other students. As far as you are concerned, you aced last year and you’re ready to do the same this year. The air is crisp, the leaves are colored and most importantly, football is back. You now have six opportunities to publicly scream like a maniac in the name of football. Instead of streaking the field and being forced to leave Autzen stadium, remember there is an art to game day. Being an Oregon fan takes a particular set of highly sought-after skills, and you should make sure you have these game day essentials in your arsenal before you beeline to the game.

Color Coordination Because the University of Oregon is a hyper-efficient institution, a schedule is released before the season. This schedule tells you which color to wear to which games. Memorize this. Yes, our school colors are green and yellow, but do not wear that standard uniform every time. This color schedule is a life saver. Nobody likes the one person wearing green in a sea of students dressed in black to match their versatile football team.

Jersey Nothing says die-hard fan like proudly sporting the numbers of past and present Oregon heroes on your back. Plus, have you seen our jerseys? They look so high-tech you would think that astronauts should be wearing them into space. With just a quick trip to the Duck Store, you could be wearing one of these sacred artifacts.

Clever Signs While many find the roar of a packed stadium and the rush of screaming at the top of their lungs with 50,000 other people to be enough fun, some people must go above and beyond. Use all of your mental wit to create a sign celebrating the Duck’s glory and you might make it on a 50 foot TV, catapulting you into the limelight to the envy of your peers.

Poncho If you know anything about Oregon weather, then this one is a no brainer. While it never rains in Autzen stadium, it always rains in Autzen stadium.

I

n addition to dressing right for a game, it’s important to come with the right mental attitude. Games are a place to escape the burdens of school stress, to let go of the things keeping you down and to feel camaraderie with thousands of other students looking to get loud on a Saturday night. To achieve this mood, it is important to pre-game an event. This will get you excited with friends and loved ones in anticipation for the coming game.

Here’s what to hit before the game: Tailgates Nothing says “American tradition” like setting up a grill in the back of a truck and frying up a few hot dogs to chase down with an ice cold beer. A flask does wonders to combat a cold fall evening, adding increased excitement to the game. In the Autzen parking lot, you can wander about and share team spirit with complete strangers. If you are nice enough, you can probably score a free hamburger too.

Watch Parties While we all wish that every weekend was a home game, this simply doesn't happen. Just because the game isn't in town doesn't mean you can’t enjoy it. If you feel like sacrificing your living room in the name of school spirit, grab as many college students as you can and cram them into your house. This way you can enjoy all of the highlights together.

PARTY PREP Written By: Sam Styles

As soon as you get back to Eugene you are going to throw a big party aren't you? And when you do you are going to do it right.

Because you are a modern day socialite and have maximized your number of friendships through modern advancements such as social media and that cutting edge technology, the text, you have hundreds of friends, thousands even. Sitting down with

all of these people is absolutely out of the question, so how will you manage to see them all?

You most likely already have the answer, throw the party of the century!

You will want to get started on this right away and why wouldn't you, reducing your home to a dance floor is the highest form of honor in the eyes of your peers. But

Noise:

According to the city of Eugene, “noise” is a sound which disturbs a reasonable person of normal sensitivities. This sound must be playing audibly where the listener can clearly hear the content of the sound produced. This could be musical rhythms or spoken words. Depending on just how massive your speakers are, your party could be clearly audible a few houses down. What’s the best way to avoid this problem? Invite all of your neighbors. They will have a much harder time reporting a party when they are inside your house.

The consequences of a violation can range from the police asking you to turn the music down to being fined hundreds of dollars. You are held responsible for what the people you invite into your house do. Have someone sober who can act as a spokesperson in case the police come knocking. In Eugene, noise violations are enforced between 10pm and 7am. So if you have an afternoon barbecue, feel free to make a little more noise. In addition to giving your neighbors heads up, keep your windows and blinds shut to keep sound in and the party private.

when you cram a hundred-plus people into your house, you may face a run in with the law. Luckily, I am here to open your eyes to the exotic world of Eugene police code.

Before a police officer shows up at your door educate yourself on Eugene city law, that way you will be able to handle this exchange pleasantly, professionally and parting company on the best of terms.

Alcohol or Kegs: If you really want to throw the traditional college party, you might think keg - which is a great idea, or is it? When you purchase a keg in Eugene, it is registered to your house and the car that picks it up.

This automatically puts you on the radar of the men and women in blue, and any noise complaints from the address which the keg is registered to may be treated more seriously. After all the word keg is closely associated with the idea of a massive party. In addition to that, serving alcohol to minors is illegal. If you have a keg, the police might have a hard time believing you aren't supplying alcohol. So avoid making the freshman do keg stands. Having a keg which isn't registered to you can get both you and the person who got the keg for you in serious trouble.

Police Search: If the police want to search your house you have the right to turn them away. Keep in mind when dealing with the police to be humble and have a respectful attitude. The police can enter your house against your wishes if there is probable cause. That means if there is anything they see that raises their suspicions of illegal activity (underage drinking) they can come in. That could be opened containers on the porch or a clear view of people inside downing beers. That is why it is so important to keep a party contained and private.

art of getting to know Eugene and settling in as a Duck includes going Green—in a multitude of meanings of the word. Clearly, the Ducks’ green and gold color scheme is everywhere, making decorating choices easy. Still, knowing how to go green in other departments may be a little more complex.

Different cities have different regulations and it is crucial to know what to do and what not to do in order to keep our streets, parks, and campus clean and green. After all, being a good neighbor and citizen is a large part of our commitment here. Whether you live in an apartment building, a dorm, a house, the rules are the same.

How you choose to organize and implement these rules is up to you. When it comes to recycling, not only is our town ahead of the curve but we make it easy to go green here in the Emerald Valley.

To avoid costly fines (AND to prevent recyclables or dangerous materials from wasting away in already-clogged landfills), keep these tips, tricks, and guidelines in mind.

Organizing: Start off on the right foot with a few small to medium plastic bins that you can easily sort the basic categories of recyclables into: Glass, Commingled materials (plastics, papers, aluminum, cardboard, etc.), and Exceptions (electronics, batteries, ink cartridges). I also like to keep a box or bin nearby for donation items, such as old books or knick-knacks that no longer bring me pleasure, and gradually fill it up throughout the term. This also keeps unnecessary waste out of our dumps and recycling centers.

Once these bins are full they can be easily emptied into the curbside pickup cans or dumpsters or dropped at the nearest St. Vincent de Paul or Goodwill donation location.

No-nos: Never throw glass in the garbage! It is a hazard for garbage collection employees and it wastes an easily recyclable material.

Batteries must be recycled separately and definitely should not be thrown in the garbage because of the toxicity of the battery acid—which leaks out in landfills! Electronics must also be recycled separately, for this you should consider contacting a local recycling

center such as BRING Recycling (4446 Franklin Boulevard, 541-746-3023). As far as plastics go, the general rule is that plastic containers are okay but plastic bags are not, which is why our town recently banned their use!. Just remember to rinse out any plastic containers (soaps, soft drinks, yogurt, etc.) before tossing them in with the commingled materials.

Must-dos: Paper and aluminum are extremely costly primary resources but once extracted they are easy and cheap to recycle into new products. Be sure to recycle (Commingled) even your little wads of aluminum foil from that breakfast burrito or the envelope that your financial aid award letter came in—these are all useful tidbits that should not be let go to waste. (for a good laugh, YouTube the Portlandia sketch on recycling!) The most important thing to remember about being a Duck is that we are first and foremost ambassadors of our community, advocates of our education, and activists of progress—in a multitude of meanings of the word. One way to settle in here is to gladly go green, and not simply because it is trendy, but because it is intrinsic to our principles and our prosperity. Go Ducks!

3. DIY Hanging Mason Jar Candle Holders Mason jars are a staple of DIY crafts because they’re stylish, economical and functional. From storing food and utensils to flowers, the decorating possibilities with mason jars are far and wide. They are convenient to decorate your space because when you’re done using them for one purpose, you can utilize them in another way. Tired of that jar of flowers? Turn it into a glass to carry your cold brew to your 8 a.m. class.

Here’s what you’ll need to repurpose your old mason jars: - Aluminum jewelry wire - Tea candles - Pliers - Mason jars - Durable rope or wire to string the jars onto

Cut the wire, keeping it to about two feet per jar. Loop the two-foot wire in the center. Wrap the wire around the base of the loop two to three times, and then take the pliers to squeeze them together for durability. Wrap the open ends of the wire (below the loop you have just made) beneath the bottom lip of the jar, and then wrap one end of the wire around the other three to four times, forming a coil.

Squeeze with pliers. Right now, you should have the loop you previously made at one end of the jar, and your newly formed coil at the other. Use the remaining wire above the coil you just made to form a handle over the jar. String this wire through the loop on the other side to complete your handle.

Coil the remaining wire around the loop three to four times, and then secure the handle by squeezing with pliers. Place a candle inside and hang the jars on tree branches for a cozy backyard gathering, or hang them inside your home using some sort of string or wire.
