NEWS STUDENT FOOD PANTRY ADDRESSES FOOD INSECURITY NEEDS OF UO STUDENTS

ANTI-ABORTION DEMONSTRATION GROUP HEADED TO UO CAMPUS

BY MICHAEL TOBIN • TWITTER @TOBIN_TWEETS A anti-abortion group known as the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR) brought their display known as the “Genocide Awareness Project” to Lane Community College (LCC) on Oct 9 and 10. The display compares abortion to genocides such as the Holocaust through the use of large, three-dimensional graphic displays and 20 feet of banners attempting to raise awareness around abortion. It plans to visit the University of Oregon next Oct 18 and 19.

CBR, a non-profit founded in 1990, travels the country “to establish prenatal justice and the right to life for the unborn, the disabled, the infirm, the aged and all vulnerable peoples through education and the development of cutting edge educational resources,” according to their website.

The demonstration next week will be on the lawn of the Erb Memorial Union (EMU).

According to KVAL, the demonstrators were met by The Emerald is published

by Emerald Media Group, Inc., the independent nonprofit media company at the University of Oregon.

Formerly the Oregon Daily Emerald, the news organization was founded in 1900.

student protestors at LCC. One LCC student, Eric Howanietz, expressed frustration with the group’s methods.

“For an outside organization to come into our town, into our community college — to do this is just uncalled for,” Howanietz said to KVAL. “These people are cowards in my mind.”

Howanietz told KVAL that he was not notified about the protest until the day before.

The group has toured other colleges in the Pacific Northwest such as Boise State University, Weber State University and Salt Lake Community College.

The tour continued through Washington and Oregon, like Evergreen State College, Portland State University and LCC. Oregon is a hotbed for political debate when it comes to reproductive rights. In August, Gov. Kate Brown signed the Reproductive Health Equity Act which requires health insurance companies to provide birth control and abortions without

additional copays.

CBR’s next stop is UO. Despite the graphic nature of their display, CBR’s demonstration is protected under the First Amendment. Laurie Woodward, the EMU’s director, says that as long as a group files the proper paperwork, they have the right to use public space.

“Our job is to be content neutral because we’re a public space on a public campus,” Woodward said. “We book groups [based] on whether or not they meet criteria.”

As the demonstration approaches, the university is facilitating support systems for students who may be emotionally affected by the graphic images.

Kris Winter, the dean of students, says that the wellbeing of students is the school’s number one priority.

“Just because the group has the freedom to speak doesn’t mean students are obligated to go,” Winter said. “Our main concern is student safety.”

After surveying over 3,500 students from colleges across the country, the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness revealed last year that almost half of respondents felt they didn’t have reliable access to sufficient food at some point. At the University of Oregon, the student food pantry is one way to help struggling students.

The Student Food Pantry is a local non-profit organization that provides nutritious foods to students so they don’t have to worry about not being able to afford groceries. Those with valid student IDs can bring a bag on either Wednesday or Thursday from 4pm to 6pm to the Episcopal Campus Ministry’s garage and

The student food pantry is open to students at UO, Lane Community College, Northwest Christinan University, and Gutenberg College.

fill it with as much food as they need. However, even though opened twice a week, students are limited to one visit per week.

The SFP started six years ago, at 1329 E. 19 Ave., when a student associated with the ministry had concerns about a friend who couldn’t afford groceries. When the organization first started, they helped around 20 students every week. This month, the Student Food Pantry started operating twice a week on Wednesday and Thursday and set a new record of 150 students per week.

The organization has been adamant about confidentiality. “We won’t record student ID numbers. It’s something that I won’t do,� said Doug Hale, who runs the SFP. “Even though we record students’ names, they stay in the organization and are not shared with anyone outside.�

Just like the number of students looking for help is rising, so is awareness of food insecurity issues on campus. The SFP isn’t officially associated with the UO; however, that’s one of the goals they’re working towards. “[We would like to] find a larger space [and] create a resource center,� said Hale. He talked about a proposed center including

the food pantry, dieticians, food studies representatives and an information center.

ASUO President Amy Schenk has advocated to administration, not only about having a center like this, but also to raise awareness of food insecurity among students. Schenk looks to take care of the financial, contracting and insurance paperwork in her next nine months as president. Taking care of the preliminary needs this year sets up the SFP to start the physical plans for the center next year. ASUO is also in the process of making flyers with a list of food security resources, including the SFP, to hand out to students.

Administration is realizing that the issue of food insecurity “needs to be addressed immediately,� said Schenk.

Food insecurity is an issue that is currently happening, not something that is going to happen, she added.

For now, the SFP and ASUO continue to do their best to help students at the UO avoid food insecurity. “It really has to do with working with people,� Hale said. “[And] knowing that someone’s got your back.�

The student food pantry is open to students at UO, Lane Community College, Northwest Christinan University, and Gutenberg College. Donated food is handed out on Thursdays from 4pm to 6pm year round.

WHY AREN’T THERE MORE BLACK PEOPLE IN OREGON?: A HIDDEN HISTORY

BY BECCA ROBBINS

Author, poet and public speaker Walidah Imarisha (Courtesy of uoregon)

Students, faculty and alumni lined the walls and filled the aisles in Lillis 182 Thursday evening to hear speaker Walidah Imarisha’s talk titled “Why Aren’t There More Black People in Oregon?: A Hidden History.� Many people were turned away due to lack of seating and encouraged to watch the live stream provided by the university’s Center for the Study of Women in Society, the primary sponsor of the event.

Imarisha said she knew there was a lot of interest due to the Facebook event’s following. But she said this kind of attendance “speaks to the desire people have to have conversations like this.�

Imarisha encouraged everyone in attendance to meet someone next to him or her and discuss the slideshow. She emphasized that it didn’t matter if they read every word on the screen because the discussions they had were more important. The slideshow featured an Oregon Black history timeline.

The project came from something Imarisha asked herself and something she heard students ask after moving to Oregon. She spent most of her childhood living at various military bases, which she said are disproportionately home to people of color. She moved to Springfield for high school and “the first question I asked myself was [this]� she said, gesturing to the presentation title on the projector. “Black history is Oregon history, just like people of color’s history is the history of the United States,� said Imarisha. Despite this, when she asked how many Oregonians who went to public schools learned about this, no hands went up.

Student Tyler Green, echoed that he never had a formal education on Black history in Oregon. He said he learned about much of this oppression through conversations with his family over the dinner table. He and Alli Lau, who sat by him, co-direct the Peer Exchange Program, where they attempt to create a supportive space for underrepresented and marginalized communities on campus. “It’s refreshing to hear it out loud in front of like 200 people,� said Lau. The Center for the Study of Women in Society invited Imarisha to give this presentation as part of their role as a “convener of community on campus for people on the margins,� said Operations Manager for the center Dena Frazier. They have events like these for “anyone who feels like a square peg in a round hole.�

Although Imarisha outlined the immense progress Oregon has made from the injustices on the slideshow, she expressed how far the state, and country as a whole, has to go. “We often think of history as a linear progression toward greatness,� she said, but it’s not: she cited modern examples how the current presidential administration treats them as proof that history is “cyclical� in nature instead.

Although this event was a huge success, Frazier said she hopes talk about this subject doesn’t end with Imarisha’s departure. “At the end of the days she leaves and we’re left with each other. The goal was to come, think, engage and leave with the ability to continue the conversation outside of the room.�

UO STRUGGLES TO MAINTAIN IN-STATE ENROLLMENT

BY CASEY CROWLEY • TWITTER @CASEYCROWLEY55 The number of college-ready Oregon high school graduates is shrinking, leaving UO searching for ways to maintain in-state enrollment numbers.

According to Roger Thompson, vice president of Student Services and Enrollment, in order to maintain the number of in-state students, the school will need to increase the percentage of in-state college-ready high school graduates that come to UO. Overall, the school hopes to grow the number of students from in state, out of state and from all over the world. “We focus on our resident students here in Oregon, and we work really hard to recruit the best of our Oregon students, and then we do the same thing for the other 49 states and then also for international students,� said Thompson.

According to Thompson, there has actually been an increase in the number of high school students graduating in the state of Oregon; however, students are deciding not to go to college, or they aren’t ready when they graduate.

There has been a dip in students taking college admissions tests in Oregon. Thompson predicts

that the number of college-ready students in Oregon will continue to decrease until at least 2022.

This makes the job of college recruiters at UO harder, and in order to achieve their goal of increasing overall enrollment, the school has hired more in- and out-of-state recruiters. “It has become more difficult because the bottom line is you have a shrinking pie, the number of students going to college is shrinking, [while] the number of colleges recruiting them is actually increasing,� said Thompson.

Thompson credits the issue of college-ready high school graduates from Oregon to two main problems: the decreasing birth rate in the state and low graduation rate. According to the U.S. Department of Education, Oregon’s high school graduation rate is one of the lowest in the country, at only 68.7 percent.

One way the school can increase overall enrollment is by focusing more on recruiting international students.

Ziyou An is a 21-year-old freshman, and he is one of many international students at the UO.

An is from China and is majoring in business. He decided to come to UO after discovering online that the university has a good business school.

Despite having to pay $38,442 in tuition and fees, An and his family found the opportunity to attend UO worthwhile. “You can think of it as an investment for your own future — for your future development — and you can actually reach a different kind of world to build your own knowledge for your future career. I think that’s what it is all about,� said An. The tuition An and other out-of-state students pay is roughly $28,000 more than that of Oregon residents.

Thompson says that the UO does not consider how much students will pay or are able to pay when deciding who to admit. According to UO spokesman Tobin Klinger, the school makes budgetary decisions based on projected enrollment revenue. “You don’t have the budget developer saying to Roger ‘go out and get us another 50 students from here because we need to cover costs.’ It’s the opposite,� said Klinger.

WOMAN SUES UO AFTER METAL PLATE FELL ON HER DURING DUCKS GAME

BY CASEY CROWLEY • TWITTER @CASEYCROWLEYTWEETS A woman says she was hit in the back by a falling metal plate during a 2015 football game at Autzen Stadium in 2015, court documents show.

Plaintiff Debra Anderson is suing for $160,000 because the incident allegedly caused permanent damage to parts of her lower back and hip, a puncture wound to her back, pain and suffering and inconvenience and interference with normal activities apart from work.

The lawsuit, filed Oct. 3, does not give any more of a

description of the plate of metal that hit Anderson.

The incident allegedly occurred at around 3:30 p.m. during a game against Washington State when the plate hit in the right lower back and caused Anderson to jolt forward into a cement barrier.

The UO roofing contractor checked other plates at Autzen Stadium to confirm they were secure according to UO spokesmen Tobin Klinger. The university did not provide any further comment on the lawsuit.

UOPD CRACKS DOWN ON TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS THIS WEEK

BY CASEY CROWLEY • TWITTER @CASEYCROWLEY55 There will be more cops than usual around busy intersections near campus this week due to a new UOPD traffic enforcement campaign that began on Monday, Oct. 9.

UOPD spent much of last week patrolling the intersections and handing out warnings to those who broke road laws. Police aim to educate drivers, pedestrians and cyclists of the rules of the road and the consequences that could come from breaking them. “Campus is very dense with vehicles, bikes, pedestrians, skateboards, etc, and can be dangerous when people don’t

follow the predictable rules of the road,�

UOPD Spokesmen Kelly McIver wrote via email.

The UOPD wants to set the tone for a safe year by having this campaign early in the academic term. Some of the issues that police hope to address are cars and bikes running stop signs and pedestrians crossing through the middle of intersections.

FBI INVESTIGATION MAIN TOPIC OF PAC12 MEDIA DAY

BY JACK BUTLER• TWITTER @BUTLER917 SAN FRANCISCO — The usual pomp and circumstance of Pac12 men’s basketball media day had a cloud hanging over it Media days are usually a time for coaches to talk about how excited they are for the upcoming season, praise the improvement of players in the offseason and tell everybody how they’re overrated or underrated, depending on where they are in the media poll.

But on Thursday, Pac-12 coaches and conference commissioner Larry Scott were asked questions regarding an FBI investigation into NCAA

recruiting that was made public in late September. The investigation involves fraud and corruption in recruiting connected to coaches, agents and shoe companies.

Arizona’s Emanuel Richardson and USC’s Tony Bland were two assistant coaches charged in the investigation. “I know you have a job to do, and I respect that,� USC heach coach Andy Enfield said, addressing the media.

OREGON WOMEN WIN CROSS COUNTRY PRE-NATIONALS INVITATIONAL, MEN TAKE THIRD

BY AUGUST HOWELL • TWITTER @HOWELL_AUGUST A few weeks ago, after the Bill Dellinger Invitational, Oregon women’s cross country coach Maurica Powell said her cross country team just needed to put the blinders on. They did that at the Pre-Nationals Invitational on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky, taking the win and upsetting top-seeded Colorado. The men put up a strong showing in the seeded race, placing third.

Not all of the top teams Oregon will face at NCAAs were in Kentucky for this race, as many of them raced at the Nuttycombe Invitational in

A&C

Wisconsin yesterday; however there were eight of the top 25 teams in attendance in Kentucky, according to FloTrack.org. It’s an impressive performance from Oregon.

Sophomore Katie Rainsberger ran 19 minutes, 42 seconds for a fourth place finish the same place she earned last year at the NCAA Championship race.

REVIEW: ‘BLADE RUNNER: 2049’ IS A VISUALLY BREATHTAKING TECHNO-NOIR

BY DANA ALSTON • TWITTER @ALSTONDALSTON Science fiction isn’t for everyone.

Just ask Ridley Scott, whose early work in the genre catapulted his career to acclaim, but initially harmed his box office impact. The legendary filmmaker is no stranger to futuristic world-building. In 1982, his third film “Blade Runner� — techno-noir years ahead of its time — established a “broken-down� version of the future. The technology was otherworldly, but the style of the sets, costuming

and spaceships recalled a scrappy industrial complex. Its influence is undeniable, even to contemporary directors.

But “Blade Runner� was a box office flop. Fans blame studio meddling, which added a half-baked “happy� ending and reduced complex themes down to a simple detective story for the initial theatrical release. Now there are seven different cuts of “Blade Runner� out there, and each one presents a different version of the story.

On typical Sundays, UO senior Kaity McLain wakes up early and goes to church.

She does her laundry, eats dinner with friends and catches up on her homework before bed.

But Sunday, Oct. 1, was far from typical.

Around 10:30 p.m. Kaity set down with her accounting textbook and climbed into her bed in Earl Hall, where she’s lived and worked as a resident assistant for the last two years.

Still tired from the excitement of Saturday’s football game at Autzen Stadium, Kaity went to bed early. But she couldn’t quite fall asleep — anticipation for the second week of classes buzzed through her head — so she pulled out her smartphone and decided to give her social media accounts one last scroll.

Earlier that day she’d tweeted a photo of a kitten dressed as a bat. She’d retweeted a gif of students doing the wave at the game.

Normal things.

Then she saw it — the first warning, popping up on her Twitter feed in vague, surreal words. “Hi everyone, there’s an active shooter on the Strip so just be careful if you’re in the area,� it read.

Kaity was terrified.

The 20-year-old accounting major is from Las Vegas, Nevada — more accurately, she’s from the nearby suburb of Henderson. It’s a 15-minute drive from the Vegas Strip, where a 64-year-old white male gunman opened fire from a window in a 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino hotel room into a crowd of 22,000 concert-goers. Below the barrel of the semi-automatic rifle the shooter had modified to shoot like a machine gun, the Route 91 Harvest Festival was in full swing.

Four-hundred and eighty-nine were injured; 58 lost their lives.

At least 20 of Kaity’s former high school classmates from the nearby Basic Academy of International Studies were in the crowd.

Kaity’s older brother Ian works Mandalay Bay’s ticket booth – and he was on shift that night. “I was frantic,� she said. “I continuously kept refreshing the feeds, trying to get more information and was all-around uncertain about what was happening.�

The effects of the Oct. 1 Las Vegas shooting weren’t just localized to the city’s inhabitants.

Trauma and loss spreads, leaping states in a rapid echo of the gunfire. Communities in California, Alaska, Minnesota, West Virginia and even Canada lost loved ones – the crippling effects of violence reached as far as UO’s community. It set off a domino effect of patterned reactions in the media – leaving some questioning the normalization of mass shootings. And it’s had a lasting effect on one student as she searched for a way to connect with her home in a time of tragedy.

It felt like an attack on everyone, Kaity said.

Far from home Kaity began texting and tweeting, furiously trying to get ahold of her family and friends.

She wanted any insight into the violence unfolding in her hometown, while rumors

unfurled on her social media feed.

Her brother checked in via text; he and the rest of her family were safe at home.

Kaity slept. “When I woke up the next morning all of those reactions came back tenfold as I was trying to catch up on what happened,� she said. She worried for the friends she knew were at the festival.

Glued to her phone in search of updates, Kaity went to morning classes. “Doing that helped me kinda stay grounded,� Kaity said. “And being around so many people, I thought, would be beneficial since I had a friend in every class that day.�

On Monday afternoon Kaity saw the news she feared since the first tweet hit her feed — this time, it came from a Facebook post. Her high school classmate, 20-year-old Quinton Robbins, was fatally shot in the attack. “I just broke down and I spent all of Monday crying,� said Kaity.

A college student too, Robbins was attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “He graduated with me. We were the exact same age. He was going to school,� said Kaity. “So it could have been anybody on this campus.�

Nine-hundred miles away and unable to fly home, Kaity did whatever she could to be present for her friends and family, even if just by phone. She tried to study while friends prepared for Robbins’ funeral, but couldn’t focus. “It’s been very hard to be so separated,� she said.

Silence Other than her close friends and the Earl Hall residents who knew Kaity’s hometown had been victimized, nobody approached Kaity to ask if her family and loved ones were OK. None of her professors spoke about it.

The university didn’t contact her. “I’ve felt that a lot of people know I’m from Vegas and nobody’s bringing it up.�

Among the everyday chatter of campus life, silence about the Las Vegas shooting hung around Kaity like a vacuum. “This was a record-setting mass murder, and it’s been silent up here, which I find very interesting — that people don’t feel the need or the shock to bring it up,� said Kaity.

Single-shooter mass shootings have been a regular presence in America since 1966, when a sniper killed 13 people and injured 30, shooting from a clock tower at the University of Texas, Austin. .

The Las Vegas shooting comes exactly two years after nine people were fatally shot at nearby Umpqua Community College in Roseburg on Oct. 1, 2015. In Kaity’s first weeks as a freshman, that tragedy shook UO’s campus. “Everybody’s been impacted by it in some capacity,� she said.

It’s something that could still be impacting the students on this campus, according to Lori Shontz, journalism instructor at the UO School of Journalism and Communications.

In 2015 she partnered with journalism

professor Nicole Dahmen to examine how local journalists covered the UCC shooting in the Reporting Roseburg Project.

As part of continued research, Shontz is returning to communities in Oregon where shootings occurred and speaking with community members about their experiences since.

She says people who have been affected by a shooting often experience a “recurring trauma” when another mass shooting occurs.

“There was a school shooting in Clackamas not that long ago. We have students on this campus who were at UCC when that shooting happened,” said Shontz.

As of last fall, 144 of the students at UO were Nevada residents — Kaity is not the only one who’s been impacted. But it’s not easy for a large university to address every tragedy that may befall small populations of its students when they occur around the world almost daily, said UO spokesman Tobin Klinger.

Often, the university depends on direct connections between staff, faculty and students to give support.

When responding directly, the university takes a case-by-case basis approach, said Klinger; there’s no one-size-fits-all response to natural disaster or mass shootings.

“There’s certain things that are more tied to higher education and a university environment,” said Klinger.

The university sent a campus-wide email after violence between protesters and white supremacists erupted in Charlottesville near the University of Virginia this summer, resulting in one death and several people injured. Later, UO directly contacted students whose homes or families had possibly been affected by Hurricane Harvey, Klinger said.

The university considers how a national or local tragedy could affect the ability of students to make it to campus or continue their education when determining whether to formally respond, Klinger said.

“What your policy and procedures would really focus on are accommodations that would relate to a student dealing with traumatic situations,” he said.

ASUO took a different approach. Two days after the Las Vegas shooting, ASUO leaders released a campuswide email detailing where support and counseling services are available and encouraging students to donate blood.

“We must never assume how an event like this could affect a fellow student,” ASUO’s email read.

Kaity wants to see an improved support system at UO — and not just counseling services. “It doesn’t always help to talk to professionals,” Kaity said. She’d prefer a space where she could converse and find support among her peers, even among everyday interactions on campus “This is the best place of any to have this kind of conversation because we’re bringing people from all over the nation. We had Umpqua,” said Kaity. “I feel like we have enough people here to really build a support system that could be beneficial for everyone.”

But Shontz said not everyone may want to talk — some people find their safety in silence.

The collective campus silence has Kaity worried that mass shootings are becoming normalized — and the campus desensitized.

Routine & response Kaity watched as the Las Vegas community poured into the local blood banks to donate. The lines were televised, just like after the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida, when 49 lives were lost. The rush to donate was predictable.

“There is a routine. And when something does become a routine it becomes normal so there’s absolutely some sort of level of that,” said Shontz, referring to the media coverage of shootings.

From 2013 through Dec. 2, 2015 — just two years — the Mass Shooting Tracker on the Washington Post’s website shows 1,052 shootings with at least four people shot (not necessarily killed) in a public

space. While mass shootings can become normalized or go unnoticed, at the same time they can become sensationalized, Shontz said.

“Neither of those help public discourse and neither of those help keep us safer,” said Shontz. “The media needs to examine what we do and say ‘do we need to change things?’”

Mass shootings can incite further violence, and research evidence shows the media response is partly to blame.

“There is an element among these high profile mass shooters who want the attention and want perhaps to be the deadliest — want perhaps to get the media attention,” said Shontz.

The UCC shooter wrote online about the media fame bestowed on mass murderers.

“It’s especially fueled when every news organization tweets a picture of the perpetrator along with the news story, when the headline is everywhere, when it’s on television 24/7,” said Shontz.

Kaity watched as violent details were disseminated in news coverage. The Las Vegas shooter’s face was on every major news site or broadcast. Videos of concert-goers running from spraying gunfire were uploaded to social media and played repeatedly on national television.

“It’s been difficult — hearing the gunshots has been very real, because I’ve been to a concert at that venue.

I walked that street at least once or twice a year, every year for my entire life,” said Kaity.

She searched the videos for faces she knew, afraid to find them. But what affected her most, she said, was her connection with the spaces where the shooting occurred.

“You see the videos but you don’t really know the area unless you’ve been there -- and that’s my home.

So I know, exactly.”

All she could do Kaity wanted to do something. At home, her friends and family waited days for appointments to donate blood.

“It’s really cool to see how the entire community has come together,” she said.

Casey Zerbe, program manager for public engagement at local donation center Lane Bloodworks,

says that spikes in donations are common after tragedies and disasters. It gives communities a sense of control and action — especially when disaster hits close to home.

Left with little recourse, donating was the only thing Kaity could do to help — and connect — with her community. On Oct. 11, she added her pint of blood to hundreds more given at Lane Bloodworks in the wake of the shooting.

One of 12 donor centers in the northwest, Lane Bloodworks is part of a network that spans north to Bellingham, Washington. The centers require about 800 donations a day to supply 900 hospitals.

They’ve been standing by to send supplies to Las Vegas since Oct. 2 — and they’ve seen about a 50 percent increase in donations.

“There was a huge response from the community,” said Zerbe. “We normally see about 45 to 50 donors a day. After Las Vegas we were seeing about 80-plus a day.”

Because blood banks are regulated by the FDA, they can share resources -- and often do. Lane Bloodworks shared supplies during Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. But donation centers like Lane Bloodworks always need blood -- not just after a tragedy.

“We never know when a tragedy is going to occur, right?” said Zerbe. “That’s part of the problem; it’s the blood that’s already on the shelves that saves the lives.

So, if you were to donate blood right now, it would have to be tested and processed and it wouldn’t be ready to be transfused to a patient for at least 24 hours.”

And students -- in high school and college -- make up a lion’s share of blood donations.

“Students are so vital to blood donation. I really can’t emphasize it enough,” said Zerbe.

So far, the extra blood hasn’t been needed in Las Vegas.

Kaity is a regular blood donor, and she says it’s the least she can do.

“You think, ‘oh, it would never happen to people I know. It’ll never hit home. It really sucks for those people but I’m fine. The people I know are fine,’” said Kaity. “And then you’re like, ‘it’s not fine, and things need to change.’”

THE GENOCIDE AWARENESS PROJECT AIMS TO TERRORIZE UO STUDENTS

BY BILLY MANGGALA • TWITTER @BILLYMANGALOL The Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), a radical anti-abortion organization, will be coming to the University of Oregon this week to display photographs and images of aborted fetuses juxtaposed next to pictures of victims of genocide.

GAP wishes to start a conversation on the value of human life by forcing students to examine poster-board sized pictures of dead fetuses, equating it to nations facing or have faced genocide.

Originally created by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and part of the AbortionNO movement, GAP has been mobile on college campuses around the nation since 1997 and has previously displayed on UO’s campus several times.

Everything GAP does is not only repulsive and disturbing, it goes to the extent of being racist, sexist and offensive to anybody who opposes seeing images of dead fetuses on their way to class, which I believe is the majority of UO students. Placing the images next to photos of Holocaust and lynching victims is GAP’s absurd tactic of comparing abortion to genocide. Although GAP is exercising its free speech rights, it’s doing PA G E 1 0

it in the most repugnant way possible.

What are students to do about this egregious display? For those who want to ignore the demonstration: pay no attention to it at all. Students who want to get from one class to another should not give GAP the pleasure of their attention.

GAP would rather see appalled students before indifferent students. This should be the strategy for anyone who isn’t interested in protesting.

But for those who want to protest: be loud. Have your voice heard and exercise your free speech rights to denounce GAP’s display. Students who want to protest can join the organized Facebook event created by the University of Oregon’s Student for Choice. The group will hold a peaceful counter-protest designed to criticize GAP’s rhetoric and direct distressed students to the UO Women’s Center in the EMU as a safe space.

This is a time for UO students who believe in choice to come together and fight against a movement that promotes hate, racism and sexism. Our campus voice is stronger together.

đ&#x;“Ł OPINION COLUMBUS DAY SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATED Statue of Christopher Columbus.

We bring the camera, lights, props and staff.

YOU BRING YOUR FABULOUS SELF.

BY VICTORIA ALVARADO Last week, Mateo Sundberg contributed an Op-Ed column about Columbus Day that has surfaced into conversations around my community.

In his column, he argues that Columbus day should be discussed and celebrated because Columbus’ contribution to Latinxs outweighed all the damage he created. I believe Sundberg’s column ignores the harsh reality of colonization and the generations of pain that comes with it.

Sundberg states that “after the pillaging, enslavement and pain, what was left was a beautiful mix of blood and culture.� This is a wrongful interpretation of history because it insinuates that all the pain that continues from the colonization of Latin America is obsolete when in fact we continue to suffer from the consequences of colonization. As the school rhyme tells us: Columbus came to the Americas in 1492, and the last Latin American country to end slavery was Brazil in 1838. So historically, the beauty began after 1838.

The “pillaging�, which is defined as “to rob (a place) using violence�, never ended. Europe and the United States largely exploited Latin America’s natural resources with events like the banana massacre in Columbia and the gold mines in Northern Peru.

But in Sundberg’s article, “the beautiful mix of blood and culture� was worth it. But did it really mix well?

The “cosmic race� was an idea made in 1925 by Mexican politician and writer Jose Vasconcelos. Vasconcelos’ ideas over the “cosmic race� pushed ethnic superiority by describing indigenous people as “savages� and “undeveloped� compared to the European colonizers.

The colonizers created a hierarchy of race in castas, which were paintings that labeled mixed race offspring of colonizers, giving degrading titles to groups of people who moved further away from whiteness such as Lobo (wolf/dog) and Salto Atras (jump back).

These paintings are important because they set up the deeply ingrained colorism that is alive and well in Latinx culture. So alive that some of

these titles are used today among Latinx people.

The idea of the “cosmic race� has been romanticized, but we can not forget that this idea punishes those who do not show the “light skin� mixing that was pictured. Which is why Latin America has a deeply rooted problem with colorism and favoring whiteness.

The Sundberg then brings up “Dia de la PhotoBooth is a customized backdropped photo set-up that allows guest Raza� that is celebrated throughout at your events to capture moments in time. The PhotoBooth has been a staple o Latin America as “the beginning of the Emerald Media Group for 3 years and has continued to grow in popularity Latino culture.� The problem with Dia de la Raza is that it is erasingwith the the community.

This piece reflects the views of the author, Chayne Thomas, and not those of Emerald Media Group.

It has been edited by the Emerald for grammar and style. Send your columns or submissions about our content or campus issues to letters@ dailyemerald.com.

Strange it is that men should admit the validity of the arguments for free speech but object to their being “pushed to an extreme�, not seeing that unless the reasons are good for an extreme case, they are not good for any case. — John Stuart Mill University of Oregon President Michael Schill was quick to dismiss the protesters of his Oct. 6 State of the University Address on the grounds that “they don’t understand the value of free speech.� While I believe he may be well-meaning in his desire to “teach all of our students and members of the community the value of free speech and tolerance,� Schill fails to acknowledge the defect in his fundamental misunderstanding regarding freedom of speech.

Namely, he ignores the fact that speech is tied to access. It is strange that Schill, who has the loudest voice on campus and multiple platforms at his disposal, can claim that his rights and freedoms are being infringed upon, while other’s voices are being silenced.

Marginalized students don’t have a voice on campus, but Schill was able to post a statement on the school website, release a video and directly email all students regarding his speech. He also swung private conversations where $50 million suddenly appeared out of mid-air — conversations that didn’t include student voices. Students don’t typically have access to platforms and forums for speech sanctioned by the university, and this needs to change.

This newspaper is one exception, of course, but the Daily Emerald also gives a fairly large and consistent voice to Schill. The insidiousness of his statements regarding free speech, particularly his remark that protesters “don’t want to listen,� actually undermines constructive dialogue on this campus by stifling any further discussion. I am not one of the protesters, but I support them.

Demeaning the Oct. 6 protesters by comparing them to the Black Student Task Force is frankly

ahistorical. The university didn’t listen to Black students until they protested. Protest is a fundamental expression of free speech and needs to be protected as a student right on campus — especially when the administration disagrees with it.

In addition, as I understand it, the primary reason students are frustrated is because the university administration, the Board of Trustees and the budget and resource planning officials don’t want to include students in discussions and decisions regarding the allocation of university funds, nor effectively tackle the rising cost of tuition. This is in addition to other issues which directly affect students.

Hopefully Schill recognizes his mistake and gives a greater voice to students, in keeping with his respect for speech and debate. This would be better, in my opinion, than trying to pacify us with magic money that is mostly allocated towards science and technology, accompanying Schill’s interests like the Knight campus project. Many students want to be involved in our school’s decisions, but don’t have access to create dialogue about it. If the university receives a mysterious $50 million donation, we want to be involved in the conversation.

One way Schill can give students a greater voice is to include us in decision-making processes that are about us. Including student voices in conversations about the budget will prove enlightening all-around, as we have a lot to talk about. There is a lack of financial transparency at the university.

For example, most students don’t know how the increase in tuition is related to Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans and Federal Pell Grants. Seems to me, this money goes straight into the university’s coffers before being allocated and disbursed to students and rises directly proportionate to the cost of tuition. Schill’s comment that students can “borrow money� to pay for the increase suggests that tuition increases might be being used to increase lending money, rather than to directly tackle costs.

Why can’t we create a balanced budget and reduce our costs? There are plenty of brilliant students here just itching to help in that endeavor.

I look forward to learning about our freedoms, and I hope that the student voice is integral to Schill’s upcoming lectures.

OREGON’S OFFENSE IS LIVING ITS NIGHTMARE

BY JACK BUTLER• TWITTER @BUTLER917

STANFORD, Calif. — Sound the alarms: Oregon’s offense is in its worst-case scenario.

Many fans and media members speculated that a Justin Herbert injury this season would be the worst-case scenario for Oregon, and now their fears have come true as the offense is ineffective with both Braxton Burmeister and Taylor Alie at quarterback.

That was clear in its 49-7 loss at No. 23 Stanford (5-2, 4-1) Saturday night.

In the spring, Oregon (4-3, 1-3) possessed quarterback depth. Herbert was returning and backups Travis Jonsen and Terry Wilson Jr. were competing to overthrow him. Burmeister was the fourth string. Alie was a wide receiver. Nobody knows if Wilson or Jonsen would’ve been better, but more options could only help.

But then Jonsen and Wilson Jr. transferred, so Alie returned to quarterback and battled Burmeister behind Herbert. Alie was a senior and former walk-on who had never seen consistent playing time, and Burmeister was a freshman who didn’t look ready — even during the spring game.

Burmeister started on Saturday.

It went poorly as he threw two interceptions early, and Oregon moved basically run-only offense from there.

“If I saw that in practice, he wouldn’t be in the game playing,” head coach Willie Taggart said.

At one point, the Ducks went 25 consecutive plays without a pass.

For most of the game, Burmeister had more passes completed to Stanford players than he did to Oregon players via the two interceptions.

Oregon completed a pass at the 14-minute mark of the second quarter, but didn’t complete one again until the 10-minute mark of

the fourth quarter; that was with Alie at quarterback, who was not good either.

Taggart needed to do something, so he put Alie in during the third quarter.

“Well I just thought we’ll put Taylor in and that would give us a spark, and it didn’t,” Taggart said.

Alie’s first pass attempt hit the ground roughly 5-yards short of an open Jacob Breeland, who was visibly frustrated after the pass.

“There were guys open, and we didn’t get it to them,” Taggart said. “And then when they’re not open we’ve got to know where to go with the ball. Check it down or throw it away.”

The Ducks only threw the ball 13 times compared to the 43 rushing plays. In those plays, Alie and Burmeister combined to go 5-of-13 for 33 yards.

A non-existent passing game makes it almost impossible to win. Taggart stated that it will be hard for Oregon’s offense to play from behind this season, putting extra pressure on the defense.

“It’s tough when you’re on the field a lot as a defense,” safety Tyree Robinson said. “For me, it’s nothing new. Been playing over 100 snaps my last three years here.”

How do they prevent Burmeister’s confidence from being shattered going forward?

He’s thrown four interceptions in two games, and the Ducks go on the road next week against UCLA, so it’s a steep learning curve.

“The toughest times you go through make you who you are, and we have a lot of football left to play,” running back Royce Freeman said. “So I just keep reminding him, ‘You don’t have to be a hero. You don’t have to do anything out of your element, and we’re here for him.’”

AS JUST A SOPHOMORE, OREGON’S PAYTON PRITCHARD NEEDS TO BECOME A LEADER

BY JACK BUTLER • TWITTER @BUTLER917 SAN FRANCISCO — After Oregon’s trip to the Final Four, there was a mass exodus of talented players.

Most of it was expected, but losing four starters and eight total lettermen still hurts.

Point guard Payton Pritchard is the only starter who returns for the 2017-18 season. While players were leaving Oregon, there was a popular internet meme from the television show “the Fresh Prince of Bel Air” where Will Smith is looking around an empty room in his house.

Somebody photoshopped Payton Pritchard’s head onto Will Smith’s body with the caption “Payton Pritchard down there in Eugene like…”

Pritchard is only a sophomore, yet he is the Ducks’ top returning player in all statistical categories except blocks. He not only needs to fill the void on the court

left by players like Dillon Brooks, Jordan Bell and Tyler Dorsey, but also the leadership void they left.

“I knew, maybe, during the season that that was coming,” Pritchard said. “For me, just this offseason, I’ve been preparing.”

So how does he grow into a leadership role?

It’s a trait that’s been in the cards with Pritchard.

During his sophomore year of high school, Pritchard was selected to scrimmage Team USA Under-18 squad in Portland, Oregon, that included players like Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones.

Pritchard played well against guys projected to be first-round NBA draft picks, a confidence booster for a young player.

“Obviously all that stuff helps, but my confidence has always been there.”

PAYTON PRITCHARD: Continued from page 13

BY SHAWN MEDOW • TWITTER @SHAWNMEDOW

Pritchard said. “I think my confidence comes from the hard work. That’s where I get all my confidence — all the hours, having no fear.”

Pritchard has always been confident. He took Casey Benson’s starting point guard job last season and never shied away from big moments.

But becoming the leader of an entire team is a big task.

“When you set your standards very high and try to achieve those standards, there’s always going to be some anxiety, and he experienced that last year, I think, because of the unknown,” head coach Dana Altman said. “But this year, I think he’s a little more comfortable. We are expecting more from him in the ways of leadership.”

Pritchard does not feel like he needs to change his game on the court to account for the loss of key players, just a little off the court.

Last season, Pritchard was a good distributer who

OREGON SOCCER TAKES A KNEE

needed to spark the offense when it was slow. He wasn’t the primary scorer, and although he feels like he’s improved his finishing at the rim and outside shooting, he doesn’t want to change his game entirely.

“I feel like leading by example is just doing your job,” Pritchard said. “Being a leader is doing your job but you’re also looking out for other people. You’re helping them do their job better. That’s the thing about being a leader.

You’re not just worried about yourself, you’re worried about everyone else, to know that they’re on the same page.”

Pritchard has been thrust into this role, but he’s worked to be in this position and wants to own it. After all, it’s a product of hard work.

“Yeah it’s odd, but at the same [time], I’m not going to say I don’t like it,” he said.

“You know what I mean? I want to be in this position, so at the same time I’m okay with it.”

The ‘take a knee’ movement is spreading, and it has not been limited to just the NFL. Some of Oregon soccer has joined in the protests that have been occurring on a national and international scale, as several players knelt during the national anthem in recent games at Papé Field.

“Taking the knee before the game means just to raise awareness for the social injustices and inequalities that are happening in our nation,” defender Jazmin Jackmon said after the Ducks’ 1-0 loss to Washington on Oct. 8. “That’s what my teammates and I knelt for, and we’re really hoping to raise awareness for that and to force people to really have those conversations because I think as a nation, if we learn how to have those tough conversations that’s where we’ll grow, as well as our team.”

Anthem protests are not something new to women’s soccer. U.S. women’s national team member and Seattle Reign FC midfielder Megan Rapinoe took a knee after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began the movement by taking a knee during the national anthem at NFL games.

The U.S. Soccer Federation does not allow its athletes to take a knee during anthems, but at the University of Oregon, student-athletes can kneel because of the school’s status as a public institution.

“I’m absolutely supportive of our players’ freedom to be able to express themselves,” Oregon soccer head coach Kat Mertz said.

Jackmon, along with Halla Hinriksdottir, Emma Eddy, Mia Palmer, Eden Hardy, Caitlyn Wong

and Sofia Chambers, took a knee ahead of the Ducks’ game against Arizona State. Hinriksdottir, Eddy, Jackmon, Hardy and Wong all took a knee prior to kickoff of their game against Washington the week before.

Hinriksdottir, Wong and Chambers are three of Oregon’s four captains.

Oregon players were not the only ones kneeling. In the Ducks’ game at UCLA on Sept. 28, a plethora of Bruins took a knee during the anthem. When the Ducks hosted Washington, several Huskies took a knee as well as their head coach, Lesle Gallimore, who raised her left fist into the air.

Several Arizona State players knelt as well, but Oregon players did not coordinate with the opponents about participating in the protests.

“What we’re trying to exemplify is not necessarily that kneeling is right and standing is wrong,” Wong said.

“People have a voice and we want to encourage young girls to use their voice — to get educated about the issue, to get educated about all sorts of issues.”

The team talked about the protests prior to participating in the protests, which formed natural divide, but it helped them understand the conflicting sides of the controversial protest.

Mertz said that she stressed the importance of allowing the players to discuss the protests in a “judgefree zone.”

“Players are on both sides of it, and the biggest thing that I can take away from it is our team respects everyone’s decision to express themselves,” Mertz said. “So I’m proud of their effort, and I’m really just proud of their response.”

KYRA HANAWAHINE: SMALL PLAYER, BIG IMPACT

BY MAGGIE VANONI • TWITTER @MAGGIE_VANONI Kyra Hanawahine (10) is the shortest player, and the only player on the Ducks’ volleyball team.

(Adam Eberhardt)

Kyra Hanawahine stands at 5 feet 2 inches. She is the shortest player on Oregon’s volleyball roster since 2014, but more impressively, the Honolulu native is the team’s only freshman this season.

Hanawahine began playing volleyball when she was seven years old at a local volleyball clinic. It wasn’t long before she was playing on club teams. She even played on a team for twelve year-olds, when she was nine.

“It was honestly the last sport I tried,” said Hanawahine . “My dad loves baseball and my brother played in college, so they wanted me to play softball. But that wasn’t for me. I just tried volleyball out of nowhere and fell in love with it.”

After attending workshops in Oregon during her first couple years of high school, Hanawahine was offered a spot on Oregon’s team leading into her junior year. She didn’t think twice about being the only freshman on the 2017 season roster.

“My parents were always excited about it,” Hanawahine said. “And I was really comfortable going in knowing I would be the only one. It’s exciting, I know that it doesn’t happen a lot in the collegiate level.”

Moving 2,528 miles and trading in sunny Hawaiian beaches for the rainy skies of Eugene was an easy choice for Hanawahine, who always wanted to be a Duck.

“I knew that this was my dream school.”

Hanawahine said. “My dad went to grad school here, so our family was always Duck fans. To have my college experience here is really exciting.”

Although her small stature may seem like a disadvantage in a sport dominated by

taller athletes, Hanawahine sees her height as something that lets her stand out.

“I know a lot of girls back home look up to me because I’m small,” said Hanawahine.

“Even when I’m here, girls are like, ‘Oh, can I take a picture with you because I’m small and you’re small.’ Being that type of influence is awesome.”

Head coach Matt Ulmer noted that even though she’s the smallest on the team, her height has its advantages on the court.

“It keeps her closer to the ground,” Ulmer said. “That helps with her getting the ball up. Sometimes it can be challenging when you’re small to cover more area, but she has great reading ability and great speed, so you don’t even know that she’s her size.”

As a defensive specialist, Hanawahine finds herself motivated by the performance of fellow Ducks, like Oregon’s previous libero Amanda Benson and current senior libero Alex Hojnar.

“For practice we alternate and I try to help her — give her some pointers — because she’s a freshman and she’s still learning our system.” said Hojnar. “She’s always encouraging me, and I’m always encouraging her. I’m looking forward to see what she does once I’m out of here.”

Hanawahine’s upbeat personality has helped the Ducks to an 11-5 overall record this season.

“Whether she’s on the court, at home or hanging out with friends, you get the same person. Someone who is super positive, driven, who loves to compete and push herself. That’s her, and that’s her pretty much all the time,” said Hanawahine’s father, George.

After winning the Canadian Juno award for best new group of 2011, indierock band Said The Whale reached commercial success in America with its 2013 record “Hawaii.� The record featured chart-topping hit-single, “I Love You,� which has continued to be the band’s most popular work to date.

But shortly after achieving mainstream success, the band found itself without a rhythm section when bassist Nathan Shaw and drummer Spencer Schoening decided to leave the group.

For a brief moment, the remaining members considered parting ways to pursue solo careers. Instead, the trio decided to return to their roots and record an album in their hometown

of Vancouver, British Columbia. In March 2017, the band released their fifth studio album, “As Long as Your Eyes Are Wide.� Despite losing Shaw and Schoening, the album features some of the most cohesive songwriting the band has ever released. While maintaining the upbeat tempo developed on previous works, the band added lyrical depth to their music on the most recent album.

Said The Whale’s Eugene performance will feature new music and a slightly smaller lineup but is still sure to be a good time. Portland-based rock group Cartoon Spits and Eugene native Megan Johns will open the show on Sunday night.

“HOW TO CONDUCT A REVOLUTION WITH CULTURE? SOME CORE LOGICS OF CHINA’S CULTURAL REVOLUTION, 1966-1976� BY PROFESSOR LAIKWAN PANG AT THE JORDAN SCHNITZER MUSEUM OF ART, 2 P.M. FREE.

Laikwan Pang is a professor of cultural and religious studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

According to her faculty directory page, Pang is interested in three components of Chinese society: the impact film and video have made on the modernizing country, the debate concerning copyright and intellectual property

rights in China and — perhaps most pertinent to the ongoing exhibit at the JSMA — the lasting implications of China’s socialist revolution. In her recent book, “The Art of Cloning,� Pang examines this cultural revolution and argues that the freedom Chinese citizens experienced differs from the freedom Western capitalism provides.

REVIEW:

A. SAVAGE OFFERS MATURE SONGWRITING ON HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM “THAWING DAWN�

BY NIC CASTILLION

Andrew Savage has always been busy. In the late 2000s, he was a member of two different bands –– Teenage Cool Kids, and Fergus & Geronimo. More recently, he has found success as a singer and guitarist for the art-punk band Parquet Courts — currently one of the most acclaimed acts in indie-rock.

Savage also runs his own label, Dull Tools, out of Brooklyn, New York, and works as a visual artist making prints and paintings.

Yet somehow, between these various projects and interests, Savage has managed to quietly put out his first ever solo release, “Thawing Dawn,� under the new moniker A. Savage. This new solo album does not come in the wake of a previous band’s dissolution — as many solo projects often do. “Thawing Dawn� simply functions as an opportunity for Savage to dive deeper into his own songwriting and release music that wouldn’t have ended up anywhere else.

Those familiar with Savage’s music won’t be surprised to hear a country influence on this new album. His previous work with Teenage Cool Kids and Parquet Courts often flirted with an altcountry sound, but on “Thawing Down� it comes on strong. The opening track “Buffalo Calf Road,� features a very noticeable slide guitar and a brief organ solo, along with narrative driven lyrics about the American frontier. “Phantom Limbo� features similar instrumentation along with a bouncy, country bass. As always, Savage’s lyrics are clever and melancholic. “At night when my bones surrender to wind blown from the sea / And I’m sure

PA G E 4

that you’re the sweetest breeze that’s ever blown through me.� “Wild, Wild, Wild Horses,� a stripped down organ ballad with sparse drums and guitar, demonstrates the strength of Savage’s songwriting through stark minimalism. An untitled track near the album’s end, featuring only a church organ and a passionate vocal performance, accomplishes the same.

Savage often writes like a punk artist trapped as a singersongwriter — or maybe the other way around. “Thawing Dawn� celebrates traditional songwriting, while simultaneously pushing it to its breaking point. The anxious “What Do I Do,� which functions well as the album’s centerpiece, repeats a simple melody and guitar pattern until a noisy, anarchic horn section bursts through its seams.

The album’s closer, “Thawing Dawn,� is the most forwardthinking song on the album.

Its structure feels like it was spliced together on tape, with blunt transitions between mellow verses and energetic finger picking –– which works remarkably well. Once again, Savage writes brilliant lyrics: “Most religion is as far from faith / As the sun is from the shadows it shapes.�

This album received hardly any promotion, and it’s likely to fly under many radars; however, “Thawing Dawn� is one of the best albums to come out this year. Andrew Savage has matured his songwriting in a way that feels organic. He has created something that stands well on its own.

THE CASE FOR A ‘BOB’S BURGERS’ HORROR MOVIE

BY DANIEL BROMFIELD • TWITTER @BROMF3 According to “Bob’s Burgersâ€? creator Loren Bouchard, the big-screen adaptation of his cult animated sitcom — due in 2020 — might be called “Horseplay: The Horsening.â€?

Well, probably not. It’s a classic Bouchard joke, a microcosm of “Bob’s� humor: so absurd as to border on anti-humor, inexorably tied to its characters’ essential traits (Bob’s daughter Tina loves horses and zombies, so a movie called “Horseplay: The Horsening� would be right up her alley), and imbued with a bit of ‘80s-baby nostalgia in how it sounds like one of the low-rent gore flicks alongside which Boucher grew up.

But were Bouchard actually making a horsethemed horror movie, I wouldn’t complain. One of the show’s unsung traits — which points to a promising potential direction for the impending film — is a sly mastery of horror and an understanding of how the genre works.

Let’s not forget that season two’s “Fort Night,� often ranked among the show’s best episodes, is essentially a horror short. The kids of the show’s burger-flipping Belcher family get trapped in their box fort under the ominously hanging ramp of a loading truck — which not only seals their sole means of escape but could come crashing down at any minute.

Adding to the torment is the psychotic Millie, a classmate of youngest child Louise who could help them if Louise hadn’t spurned her earlier in the episode. We know the kids aren’t going to die, but the stakes are so high and the space so convincingly claustrophobic that it keeps us on edge — until it pays off with a brilliant revenge against Millie that deftly snaps the scenario back to comedy.

Many of the show’s most memorable moments are also its most terrifying. In “Housetrap,� the family is stuck in a house with a potential murderess, and while most of the tension is played for laughs, the episode features one of the most chilling shots seen in an animated comedy, in which the killer stands straight up in the dark behind one of the heroes. “The Hauntening� takes us so deep into a suburban horror scenario that when the curtain is lifted, we remember with a shock we’re watching a sitcom. That it’s all wrapped up in humor does nothing to dull the effect.

The people making this show know their shit.

The best joke in “The Last Gingerbread House On The Left� (named for a ‘70s horror classic) involves a guy who looks eerily like the half-dead grandfather in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre� until he wakes up in his wheelchair with a start.

If you’ve seen the movie, the laughs come from recognizing this; if you haven’t, they come from how he opens his eyes with a start and huffs “Huh?� Likewise, a traumatic memory of Bob’s in “House of 1,000 Bounces� is taken verbatim from “The Birds.� If you’ve seen “The Birds� the humor comes from knowing this, but even if you haven’t, his friend Teddy dryly informing him, “You’re describing a scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’� should split your sides just fine.

Could a couple scenes and some well-honed horror smarts carry over to a full-length feature?

Absolutely. Let’s say the movie actually ends up being called “Horseplay: The Horsening� and is exactly what it sounds like — horse horror.

They could start with the ominous signs:A disembodied clip-clop. A sixteen-hand shadow against the wall. Then they could go into the subplot: something ridiculous involving the parents, maybe them trying to get meat from their meat provider on short notice, I don’t know.

We forget we’re in a horror movie for a second, which makes it scarier when the zombie horses actually show up. And then the two plot threads come together and the whole thing explodes into brilliant, comforting comedy.

I want this movie.
