NEWS STUDY ABROAD OFFICE OFFERS INTERNSHIPS OVERSEAS

UNIVERSITY TO REPLACE LEAD-TAINTED PIPES IN BEAN WEST

BY BECCA ROBBINS • TWITTER @BROBBINSUO It’s that time of year when students start making plans for their summers and internships abroad. Applications are open and info session announcements are filling student email accounts.

With about 250 programs in over 90 countries, the University of Oregon’s Global Education Oregon (GEO) office is opening its annual Study Abroad Fair on Tuesday. Advisers, providing companies, the financial aid office and faculty leaders will all be in the EMU Ballroom from 11:00 a.m. - 3 p.m. to help students decide their paths.

According to GEO Institutional Relations Specialist Kayla Grosjean, the information fair is the best time for students to have any questions answered. She said about 500 to 600 students usually attend, in addition to around 60 students who have taken trips abroad and can answer questions about their own experiences.

Students also have the opportunity to win a $500 travel voucher at the fair by voting on their favorite picture from last year’s study abroad trips.

Katy Johnson, a student who returned from the French Language Immersion in Angers trip over the summer, said the program was well worth it.

“The learning is so different,” Johnson said. “In general, it’s just very hands-on, and just being able to take what you learn in the classroom and do it outside.

If you’re learning a language and then being able to go speak it with the people in the town 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.

you’re exploring, I definitely recommend for people to explore on the weekends, by yourself, with friends — don’t be afraid.”

While the programs vary by many factors, Grosjean said it’s never too early to start thinking about going abroad.

“We do tell students that it’s usually best to have the most programs [and] the most scholarship opportunities available to them if they plan at least six months to a year in advance,” Grosjean said.

As an incentive to start planning early, Grosjean said there is even a scholarship for first-year students who want to take a trip, as long as they apply by the end of the school year. She said more and more scholarships are coming out for those who plan their trips in advance.

Grosjean also said money is the biggest barrier to students, as the expenses can add up.

“So many students forget that you have to pay for laundry abroad,” Grosjean said.

That cost, added in with the study abroad fee, airfare, passport fee for those who don’t already have one, and the weekly expenses like food are reasons there is a scholarships tab on the study abroad website.

Despite the daunting price tag, Grosjean noted that students do not pay UO tuition while abroad and for some out-of-state students, going abroad could even be cheaper.

According to Grosjean, some programs include internships or offer them to students if they

want them. “[You’re] starting to get your toes wet in what it’s like to work in whatever environment you’re trying to work in, in a different country,” Grosjean said. “So that can be really good experience for some students.”

Interning abroad is another opportunity for scholarships, especially if the internship is unpaid. The Office of International Affairs Global Scholars Institute lists over 50 different locations and organizations that offer international internships, according to Grosjean.

One program that includes a five-week, full-time internship is the Media In Ghana trip.

Taking students to the capital city of Accra, it is worth twelve credits and according to program director Leslie Steeves is the lowest priced summer study abroad program. Eleven students attended the info session on Wednesday night.

One thing Steeves stressed in the info session is the autonomy afforded to students through studying abroad and getting an individual internship. Each student is paired with a separate internship based on his or her interests and the needs of the companies. Because of this, she said maturity is a key factor when determining who is accepted into the program.

“I think a lot of the students who do end up making it happen do it because they want that global perspective,” said Grosjean.

BY ERIN CAREY • TWITTER @ERINLCAREY With recent renovation work happening in Bean West Hall and continuing through the year, many students living there will see renovations aimed to improve the standard of living in the hall.

One of those renovations will be improving the lead pipes that Bean Hall has been using.

In spring of 2016, the school found that halls like Bean, Hamilton, Walton and Barnhart had lead in the water testing above the 15 parts per billion level that is allowed by the Environmental Protections Agency.

Water with lead above that level is considered unsafe for human consumption, and the university was forced to inform the residents in those halls the following September.

According to UO Spokesperson Tobin Klinger, 22 of the water drinking fixtures in Bean Hall showed elevated levels of lead in fall 2016 and were put out of commission. Students were given bottled water and dispenser water while repairs were made and the fixtures were retested.

Another 13 fixtures in the west side of Bean were part of this year’s renovation project, according to Klinger.

Since finding lead in the water, the university has taken steps to fix it, but before the levels were found, the university didn’t regularly test for lead in the water.

According to the EPA, if a public school or childcare facility operates their own public water

system, there is no federal law requiring them to test the water.

The EPA is only responsible for testing water in public drinking supplies.

As for universities like UO, there’s no regulation on testing water regularly. The university will only test if the department or building requests it.

To combat more issues like the one in 2016, the university also created the Drinking Water Monitoring Plan, which includes periodic testing of drinking water in older residence hall buildings.

As for other halls such as Barnhart, Walton and Hamilton, which also showed the same elevated levels of lead, water was cleared by either aerator cleaning, rebuilding or replacing pipes with certified lead-free parts, according to Director of Strategic Engagement and Communications for Safety & Risk Services Kelly McIver.

In some cases, fixtures were removed from service entirely.

UO FACULTY TAKE REQUIRED BIAS TRAINING

Erik Givan conducted the bias training workshop.

(Courtest of University of Oregon)

BY KYLIE STORM • TWITTER @KMSTORM99 On Oct. 31, the University of Oregon announced that it is holding Implicit Bias workshops for faculty on campus. They are aimed to address and solve issues of implicit bias in faculty and staff.

These workshops take place in October and November. They are coordinated by the Division of Equity and Inclusion. One workshop has occurred so far, with the next two following up on Nov. 6 and Nov. 13.

They are facilitated by Associate Law Professor Erik Girvan.

There’s been discussion over the past couple of years as to whether or not the university was going to implement something like this program.

Implicit bias is defined as the “thoughts and feelings that occur outside of conscious awareness or control,� according to Project Implicit.

The workshops are meant to help faculty understand their personal biases and the snap judgements, stereotypes and wishful thinking resulting from them. One of the recommendations available at the workshops is blind grading, a practice that encourages equal assessment of assignments.

Some programs already do this, such as the law school, according to Girvan.

Provost Jayanth Banavar said that attending a workshop would be required for faculty serving on a search committee and that, if a staff member is unable to attend, they can complete the online version.

There is some question, however, as to whether these workshops will produce any tangible results. “[This] is going to entirely

depend on what people do with it,�

Girvan said.

Some students are also concerned that it is too much of an effort to check off a box, rather than to seriously counteract the problem.

Kristy Lu, the co-director of the Asian and Pacific American Student Union, said that a worry is the university doing programs and workshops such as this just for show. “We [think] that it’s great that the university is taking that step in addressing implicit bias,� Lu said. “But we’re concerned over the fact that it’s just like a check box to be like, ‘oh, it’s done, we don’t have to worry about that anymore.’�

The fact that the facilitation is led by a white man is another aspect of concern. “One of the things we were concerned about is that the kind of personal experiences that minorities, people of color [and] women‌ personally face aren’t going to be shared.â€? Lu said. “[He] researches stereotyping and psychology and all that, [so] he can sympathize but can’t empathize.â€?

Lu would be interested to see student experiences implemented.

They are also curious to see if and how the university will track any progress made.

Both Girvan and Lu noted that the outcome of the workshops would rely fairly heavily on the individual. “[Implicit bias] isn’t something you can really cure,� Lu said. “It’s something that needs to be constantly recognized and addressed in their day to day work. Doing one training, although it’s a good [introduction to] it, I see it as kind of problematic.�

đ&#x;”Ś NEWS STATE TO EXPEDITE TRANSFER CREDITS FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITIES

BY HANNAH KANIK • TWITTER @HANNAH_KANIK

When Ben Wood transferred from Portland Community College to UO in 2016, he had to retake some courses because some credits did not transfer. “If you have to take similar classes, it’s a waste of money. If I had known they would not transfer, I never would have taken those classes,� he said.

University representatives are working to expedite course transfers between community colleges and universities in the state of Oregon to become more cost-effective for students. The goal of the new policy is to address inefficient course transfers such as Wood’s, according to White.

Oregon’s Higher Education Curriculum Committee, or the HECC, brought up the issue of inefficient course equivalencies to the state of Oregon with House Bill 2998 that passed in August of 2017. It tasked the HECC to expand its group and come up with solutions for transferring credits between institutions within the state. The HECC will present its proposed changes in January of 2018.

Frances White, professor and chair of the UO Curriculum Committee, worked within the HECC in the Faculty-Driven Transfer Workgroup to create policy that streamlines transferring between institutions within the state. The workgroup is made up of representatives from all public

community colleges and universities, students, faculty and administrators. White serves as the UO representative in the working group.

Transfer agreements have been a recognized ongoing issue and have affected a lot of students, according to White. Streamlining the process is complicated because each university has different general education requirements and each major has different prerequisite courses.

According to the HECC website, the bill was passed as a result of the collaboration of the HECC, community colleges, universities and law makers. The bill directs the HECC to “bring together community colleges and universities to establish common foundational curricula of at least 30 credits.�

On October 18th, White spoke at the University Senate meeting. She said that the HECC is in the first phase of implementing the new policy, and are currently coming up with solutions. They will report solutions to the state in January 2018, when they will begin finalizing changes to be in place by fall 2018.

There are already some policies set in place between certain community colleges and universities. This change is hoped to make the

policy apply to all public institutions in the state of Oregon, according to White.

For example, UO and Lane Community College share specific transfer agreements, such as the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree, or the AAOT, which fulfils the general education requirements for UO. Similarly, other universities within the state of Oregon share transfer agreements with their local community colleges.

The workgroup plans to apply agreements like these across the entire state of Oregon so that a student can transfer from any institution to another quickly and cost effectively, White said.

Students from universities and community colleges serve on the workgroup to ensure student perspectives are represented. The group has also has reviewed the data of transfer students and their transferable credits in recent years to reach their solutions. “We as faculty always benefit from the student perspective,� White said.

White said they are working to create policy that “balances all of the needs and interests of the various students so that they can transfer as much credit as possible, while still getting the background that they need.�

NO. 16 OREGON SWEEPS CAL, EXTENDS WINNING STREAK AGAINST GOLDEN BEARS TO 8

No. 16 Oregon (15-6, 8-5 Pac-12) beat California (13-11, 4-9) for the eighthstraight time on Friday at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif.

The victory against the Bears marks the fifth straight season sweep during the Oregon streak.

Coming off their five-set loss in last week’s match against Colorado, Oregon is now 4-3 in away games with Friday’s sweep of 25-18, 25-16 and 25-19.

Oregon took a strong hold of the lead in the opening set by scoring three

consecutive points without a response from Cal. The Ducks saw as big of a lead as six and quickly won the set 25-18. Lindsey Vander Weide and Jolie Rasmussen led the team with four kills and two digs each.

Set two would end just as fast as set one, with the Ducks winning 25-16.

Oregon was quick to score first again in the set, but this time Cal was able to put up points before the Ducks took a five-point lead at 7-2.

CHAPMAN HALL OVERHAUL TO BE COMPLETED BY DECEMBER 2017

The Emerald is continuing its series on names of University of Oregon campus buildings this week with Chapman Hall. Check out the previous building stories on Friendly Hall, Collier House, Prince Lucien Campbell Hall, Lillis Hall, Gerlinger Hall and Condon Hall.

Traditionally the home of the Robert D. Clark Honors College, Chapman Hall today is surrounded by generators, power tools and chainlink fencing,

signaling a metamorphosis for this slice of campus history.

Before this remodeling, Chapman Hall has served many roles for UO over the years.

According to the Chapman Hall historical assessment conducted in 2015, the building was constructed in 1939 to house the Humanities department and the university bookstore.

REVIEW: ‘THE MASK YOU LIVE IN’ PROVIDES THOUGHT-PROVOKING STORIES AND IFFY CLAIMS

BY MAX EGNER Filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s 2015 documentary, “The Mask You Live In,� is a provocative assessment of the narrow definition of masculinity in the U.S. The film features discussions by social scientists, psychologists and educators about how masculinity in American culture is defined by physical strength, sexual dominance and economic success. Experts assert that these potentially toxic norms have dire consequences and are perpetuated by violent video games, pornography and sports.

The University of Oregon Counseling Center’s Be Well program screened the film in the Erb Memorial Union on Wednesday, Nov. 1. The screening marked the beginning of “Movember� events, which focus on men’s health education for UO students.

But the film loses credibility by suggesting that American society’s perception of masculinity is the root cause of some of the worst mental health and violence issues in the U.S. Find out where you can watch this documentary at dailyemerald.com.

đ&#x;“– COVER

THE WIN OF CA

BY AARON ALTER • TWITTER @AARONALTER95

Playing soccer is tough. The beautiful game moves at a lightning fast speed. Players run an average of seven miles a game, all while figuring out the best way to stifle their opponents. It may be easy to pick up and play, but it takes a lifetime to master.

While most soccer players will experience an injury at some point in their career, Caitlyn Wong’s injury report is somewhat stunning.

Wong, a redshirt senior, is a captain of the Oregon soccer team who came to Eugene in hopes of reinvigorating a losing program with culture issues. Along the way, she’s battled through a nightmarish litany of knee injuries. Yet despite the challenges posed by those injuries, Wong remains undeterred.

She’s gone under the knife four times, and four times she’s battled back. Her career at Oregon has hardly gone according to plan, but she’s OK with that. For the Sunnyvale, California native who refuses to quit, there’s more to her soccer career than minutes played and titles won.

Additionally, she’s a stellar student. As if playing on a Division I soccer team wasn’t enough of a time commitment, Wong has maintained a 4.0 GPA in biochemistry — a major that demands tremendous hours of studying.

The day a high school athlete signs their letter of intent to play for the college of their choice is usually a happy one. Players are preparing for the next big step in their careers, and they’re celebrating the end of what was likely a successful high school run. For Wong, her signing day was the opposite. On Feb. 6, 2013, she suffered a noncontact injury in a high school match and tore her right ACL, along with part of her meniscus. It was her first major injury. “I actually tore it so hard that it ripped out of the bone really roughly, and I had a severe bone contusion from that,� Wong said. “I freaked out.�

As a result of the contusion, she couldn’t have surgery until the end of March — almost two months after the injury. At the time, Wong said she was focused on the fact that her club soccer experience was over sooner than she had expected. Eventually though, her future as a Duck rose to the front of her mind. “I’m supposed to start school and training in four months,� Wong said. “Surgery at the end of March [plus] a six-month recovery puts me at the end of September.

There was no way I was going to play, so it was pretty much already set in stone that I was going to redshirt.�

The road to recovery was difficult. Wong was forced to re-learn every component of the game, down to running and kicking. “It was almost humiliating,� Wong said. “How stripped you are of your identity during something like that.�

Through a grueling nine months of rehab and training, Wong eventually made her way back to playing.

She made her debut for Oregon the following year and began to establish herself as a stout defender. Wong ended the season with a bulging disc in her back, but thanks to careful rest and rehab, she was cleared from the injury report on April 1, 2015. Things were looking up for the defender.

That’s the day she tore her left ACL. “An April Fools joke? I was hoping,� Wong said. “April

NDING JOURNEY AITLYN WONG fools, you’re still injured.”

As far as knee injuries go, the circumstances for Wong’s second ACL tear were ideal. The tear was clean with minimal swelling, and she was in top physical shape following her season. This time, there would be no two-month wait for surgery. She had surgery 10 days later.

Two torn ACLs might be enough to convince an athlete to hang up their cleats. Not Wong, according to her mother Carolyne .

“She never got down,” Carolyne Wong said.

“She was determined to get back as quickly as possible.”

Wong began her rehab four months before the start of the next season. The clock was on, and she was determined to come back faster than she did after her last surgery.

“I just kicked butt for five months non-stop,” Wong said.

Through this recovery, Wong focused on keeping herself in the right headspace. She had been riddled with fear and self-doubt during her last ordeal but was not going to allow the same thing to happen this time.

“Your mindset in an injury is the most import thing in your recovery,” Wong said. “I don’t care what resources you have, or how quick you get surgery.”

Sure enough, Wong battled back in five months. She went on to another solid year of play, and her soccer career seemed to be going well when she started her junior season.

Halfway through that season, however, injury struck again.

She suffered a severely torn left meniscus against Cal State Fullerton on Sept. 11, 2016. The injury caused her to lose a month of the season.

She underwent a scope surgery that month to clean the injury, and doctors removed 40 percent of her meniscus.

Wong bounced back, and just over a month after her injury went on to earn Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors after shutout wins against Arizona and Arizona State.

But injury troubles weren’t behind her yet.

In May 2017, Wong had a scope surgery to remove a screw from a previous ACL surgery and relieve the strong medial pain an inflamed bursa sac was causing; however, this last surgery proved more difficult to come back from than her previous two.

“I don’t know what happened,” Wong said. “My body just couldn’t do it.”

Wong simply couldn’t move the way she used to. Her mind was still sharp and game ready, but her body could no longer keep up. Sometimes, she even worried that she could have done more to recover before coming to accept the reality of her pain.

As a result, Wong spent most of her senior season on the sideline. While she wishes she could have played more, she knows her role as a captain extends beyond the field. Her biggest goals in coming to Oregon were to change a team culture rife with finger pointing and to take the Ducks to the NCAA Tournament.

“I wanted to leave a legacy,” Wong said.

Despite the best efforts of Wong and her team, the Ducks fell short of the tournament. While the disappointment is there, she also knows that the team culture had changed for the better. In a time that brings both good and bad, Wong knows the importance of perspective.

“When you’re in the midst of it, maybe it doesn’t seem like we’ve made strides,” Wong said.

“But you have to look at what’s important, and that’s the team culture. We’re in such a good spot now as a team. Having real relationships with each other, truly caring for each other as people. … That speaks to all the work we’ve done over the years.”

Indeed, after the team’s heartbreaking loss to USC this year, Wong says that there was no finger pointing — a stark difference from her first year with the team. She’s also gracefully ceded her starting spot to sophomore Alyssa Hinojosa. In a toxic culture, Wong says such a thing wouldn’t happen. But true to her goal, she chose to mentor the young defender, rather than harboring spite over her role.

“If she’s on the field kicking ass, we’re gonna win,” Wong said. “She is going to be the next big center back, so it’s about how I can share what I’ve learned.”

For her part, Hinojosa thrives on the support of her mentor.

“She’s a really big role model for me,” Hinojosa said. “I thought the coaches were yelling at me, but it was my teammate, helping me and having my back.”

While she was busy leading her team and rehabbing from injuries, Wong was also earning Pac-12 All-Academic first team honors. She’ll defend her biochemistry dissertation this week.

Wong’s career came to a close on Thursday night in Corvallis, as the Ducks fell to Oregon State 1-0. The team will head into the offseason preparing for life after Wong and her fellow seniors. The impact is felt keenly by Ducks head coach Kat Mertz.

“It’s going to be weird not having Caitlyn on the field and having her leadership,” Mertz said to KWVA after the Ducks’ loss. “I’ve had it for five years now, my whole entire time at Oregon.”

The feeling is mutual, and Wong credits a great deal of her success and growth to Mertz and the rest of the Ducks’ coaching staff.

As she looks back at her time at Oregon, Wong finds herself coming back to her decision to redshirt her true freshman season. Having an extra year on the back end of her career allowed her to follow through on her goals for the team’s culture. Finishing last year would’ve felt incomplete.

Along the way, it was Wong’s unwavering sense of purpose that drove her forward.

“That’s part of the reason, if not the main reason that I’m successful,” Wong said. “It’s really important to me to find purpose. I don’t enjoy putting all of myself into something unless I find purpose in it. So I think I wake up trying to figure that out every day.”

FEMINISM AND THE SEARCH FOR ALLAH

BY MELODY CHARLES

Last Friday the Middle East and North Africa Studies Program held a symposium in Gerlinger hall concerning Islam and Feminism and how to reconcile these seemingly contrary worldviews in modern society. Presenting speakers were Amina Wadud, Sarah Eltantawi and Azadeh Ghanizadeh.

Wadud and Eltantawi are both progressive Muslim scholars, while Ghanizadeh is a grad student at OSU who is studying feminism, philosophy and postcolonialism.

I admit I was skeptical of their ability to fuse the two ideologies together. The scholars on the panel discussed how patriarchal interpretations have dominated the landscape of Shari’a, the penal code in Islam, and that Islam did not manifest in these strictly legalistic manners. A difference exists between the prescriptive, that which biased humans said should happen, and the descriptive, what actually did happen in Muslim majority societies throughout history. The scholars insist that existing verses pointing to patriarchal ideas may be contextualized in a certain place and time.

As a geography major with an emphasis on human geography, I personally take a great deal of interest in Islam. There are lousy five dollar paperback polemics about “Shari’a law” at Walmart.

Ideas about Islam guide foreign policy and attitudes toward geopolitical issues in the Middle East. We scream at people to assimilate, but when they try by embracing modern notions like feminism, many of us mock their dedication. What we really need to do is sit down and listen.

Muslims, especially those living in progressive societies, will eventually face difficult questions about what their faith permits. For example, the symposium discussed female-led prayer, which PA G E 1 0

has not been the traditional way of conducting prayer, “salat” in Islam; by mainstream Shari’a interpretations, only men may lead mixed congregation prayers. But Wadud challenged this and led khutbah at a mosque in 2005 in Manhattan.

She gained notoriety for what was perceived as deliberately rebelling against normative Islam. Her critics called her extreme, and she stood her ground toward the dissent. If the worst thing she has ever done as a Muslim is make a mistake by leading prayer, then as far as I’m concerned, she’s fine.

Several women in the audience were struck in awe by Wadud’s conviction. Some even broke down in tears and admitted how difficult they found reconciling traditional interpretations with their needs for modern contextualized gender relations.

I was moved by their passion. Clearly, many people desire a God to follow; however, it is difficult to construct a palatable view in light of tradition.

Wadud offered them this clarity.

I am not personally convinced that Islam is malleable enough to conform to third wave feminist ideas about gender and sexuality.

However, many people have faith that Islam has an emancipating message suited for modernity.

People will always desire some deeper meaning in life. Day-to-day life can become boring and meaningless without the purpose that religion can offer. That is arguably the one defining characteristic of humanity — seeking the spiritual.

I don’t believe we are on some trajectory toward atheism. Religion will not disappear. Religion will mold and evolve to suit current norms and expectations. We ought to welcome this change and support those who have a progressive vision within their religion of choice.

“Muslims,

especially those living in progressive societies, will eventually face difficult questions about what their faith permits.”

Perhaps you’ve overheard the Nontraditional Student Union booth during the Flock Party talking to such students often referred to as “Nontrads.â€? If you’re like many of the students on campus you might be one and not even know it. According to the Dean of Students website, you may be a nontraditional student if you: Are over the age of 24 at the time you begin working toward your first bachelor’s degree • Are married, divorced, or

partnered Work full-time Have children and/or family members to support • Are returning to or starting college after a break • Are changing careers • Are a veteran of the armed forces • Have independent financial status • Have transfer admission status With the struggles of rising tuition, a changing labor market and with a family no longer being widely viewed as something that • •

them financially. As a student parent, there have been several instances where I would not have been able to afford to Part of what makes the child care subsidy so great is that it covers up to 50 percent of childcare costs. For those who are unaware of the high costs of childcare, it costs $85 per week for my daughter to be at the Co-op Family Center just on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The rate for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays would cost $131 per week. Full time, which is Monday through Friday, would cost $183 per week. Monthly, that’s anywhere between $340 and $732 before the child care subsidy. That’s not even including any additional fees that may be incurred. For example, if your child isn’t potty trained, there’s a diaper fee.

After reading this, if you find that you are a nontraditional student, I encourage you to connect with the Nontraditional Student Union on OrgSync. They host events where you can mingle amongst other student families or nontraditional students. If you’re a student parent and you haven’t checked out university

would keep you from college, a lot of us are considered nontraditional students. Because of this, the UO provides a lot of resources to support these students. If you’re a veteran, there’s the Student Veterans Center in the EMU. Nontraditional students also have several scholarships available to them, such as the Osher Re-Entry Scholarship for nontrads who return to college after taking a break. There are even houses and apartment complexes intended for nontraditional students. University family housing is often one of the best deals for nontraditional students looking for housing near campus.

For student parents, the best resource available for nontraditional students is the ASUO Child Care Subsidy. While there are three child care centers on campus, one of them being onsite at Spencer View Apartments, the child care subsidy is what allows most students to even make their education possible. I’ve spoken with several student parents about how the subsidy has helped them in their education and some of them revealed that the subsidy literally saved

One of the perks of living in family housing is the community of students who are in a similar situation as you. The same could be said about the Veterans Center in the EMU.

If you don’t fall into the veteran, married, divorced or student parent classifications of nontraditional students, the UO has your back.

While there may not be a student organization for those with independent financial status, the Nontraditional Student Union is still a great resource for anyone who can be classified as a nontrad. Every time I have spoken with the staff, I have always felt like I would always have someone fighting for me in my corner if life as a nontrad ever got to be too difficult.

WASHINGTON BURIES OREGON FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR

BY SHAWN MEDOW • TWITTER @SHAWNMEDOW

That was the theme of Saturday’s game at Husky Stadium as Oregon (5-5, 2-5) failed to hang with No. 12 Washington (8-1, 5-1), falling to their rivals from the north for the second straight year, 38-3. All five of the Huskies’ touchdowns came on plays of more than 30 yards as the Ducks succumbed to the potency of Washington’s offense.

“Gave up too many big plays,” head coach Willie Taggart said.

“Against a good football team, you can’t give up that many explosive plays.”

It started off promising for the Ducks, who took a 3-0 lead on their opening drive, which lasted more than seven minutes. That was followed by a missed 45-yard field goal attempt by Huskies kicker Tristan Vizcaino.

On Washington’s next drive, Vizcaino converted a 34-yard field goal to even the score at 3-3.

Washington took over from there.

Oregon went three-and-out on the next drive and was forced to punt. Dante Pettis was waiting. He took it all the way for a touchdown — the ninth punt return touchdown of his career, and an NCAA record.

With Pettis getting a run at Oregon, it was then running back Myles Gaskin’s turn. On the second play of a Washington drive, the running back danced around Ducks defenders and into the end zone to give the Huskies a 17-3 lead that they would carry into halftime.

“They made a little bit of adjustments on the sidelines when they’d seen how we came out in the first half,” safety Tyree Robinson said. “We just got to be ready to make adjustments too.”

After the half, it continued to go downhill for the Ducks as Washington outscored Oregon 21-0 to end the game.

Oregon’s offense was quiet, but

still managed to put up the most rushing yards on Washington this season, 247 — surpassing Rutgers’ mark of 131 yards on September 1.

Washington knew the run game was coming with Braxton Burmeister starting for a fifth straight game. He threw one interception, which came midway through the fourth quarter, and finished 7-of-13 for 31 yards.

“It just seemed what we were doing early wasn’t working,” center Jake Hanson said. “We’ve just got to find a way to take those rushing yards and translate them into points. You can run the ball all day, but if you can’t put points on the board, it’s all for nothing.”

The freshman fumbled the ball twice on third down snaps, which haunted the Ducks’ offense that ended the game 7-of-16 on third downs.

“We can’t make the mistakes we’re making,” Taggart said. “We’ve got to get better, and he’ll continue to get better.”

Despite allowing 38 points, the defense had its moments. Safety Brady Breeze recorded his first career interception toward the end of the second quarter while the scoreless fourth quarter was a bright spot for Oregon’s defense, which was highlighted by a 4th-and-1 stop on Oregon’s own 1-yard-line.

“They kept playing really hard,” tight end Jacob Breeland said.

“They showed character how they stopped them at the 1-yard line with two minutes left in the game.

Just shows that they care, and they want to show people that they can be good.”

The Ducks return home for the final two games of the season after next week’s bye. Oregon needs to beat either Arizona or Oregon State to be eligible for a bowl game.

DANTE PETTIS’ RECORD-SETTING RETURN DOOMS OREGON

BY GUS MORRIS • TWITTER @JUSTGUSMORRIS SEATTLE — Earlier this week, Oregon head coach Willie Taggart dismissed the idea of not punting to Dante Pettis, Washington’s star wide receiver who doubles as one of the best punt returners in the nation. He’s so dangerous on special teams that several other Pac-12 teams have elected not to punt to him at all.

“We are going to punt the ball, and we are going to cover, and we are going to tackle,” Taggart said on Wednesday.

Taggart probably should have reconsidered his approach.

Pettis returned an Oregon punt in the second quarter 64 yards for a touchdown that ultimately

doomed the Ducks. The score was not only Pettis’ ninth punt return for a touchdown in his career, an NCAA record, but it also turned the tide of the game. Washington went on to score 28 unanswered points en route to a 38-3 win at Huskies Stadium.

Pettis caught a touchdown in the second half as well, part of a four-catch, 87-yard performance, but it was his punt return touchdown that ultimately decided the game.

“I thought it really got them going. It got the crowd into it and it really was a big momentum change,” Taggart said after the game.

Before the return, Oregon and Washington had

a 3-3 tie. The Ducks took almost eight minutes off the clock with their first drive which ultimately netted a field goal. Oregon then forced Washington to kick a 45yard field goal on its ensuing drive that missed wide right. Washington went on to convert a field goal at the start of the second quarter, but the Ducks were in a much better place compared to last year’s matchup with Washington “We were feeling good,” center Jake Hansen said.

Then, Pettis struck.

Freshman punter Adam Stack kicked a line-drive, 32-yard punt that Pettis fielded at Washington’s 36-yard line. Pettis strode into the end zone ten seconds later.

“I’ve been preaching all week he’s a dangerous guy in open space,” safety Tyree Robinson said. “You gotta tackle him, and we didn’t do a good job of that on that play.”

Despite the big play, one of many that Oregon allowed, the Ducks didn’t feel like it was the deciding factor in the game. They actually

felt motivated after Brady Breeze intercepted Jake Browning to close out the first half.

“That’s just part of the game — you can’t let that phase you at all,” center Jake Hansen said. “So even after that, we were ready to go out there and try to score, but it didn’t happen for us.”

Oregon entered the second half trailing 17-3 but remained optimistic. Pettis quickly extinguished any thought of an Oregon rally when he took a 47-yard pass from Washington quarterback Jake Browning to the house to extend the Huskies’ lead 24-3.

Whatever momentum Oregon thought it had vanished in that instance.

From that point on, it was all Washington. The Huskies scored two more times in the third quarter to put the finishing touches on Washington’s second straight rout of Oregon.

The game officially ended at 9:59 p.m., but it was over long before then. Pettis made sure of that.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL ROLLS PAST WESTMONT, 71-32

BY COLE KUNDICH • TWITTER @CKUNDICH

It’s no secret that the bar is set high for No. 11 Oregon entering the 2017-18 season. On Sunday, the Ducks began their quest to meet those expectations, defeating Westmont 71-32 in an exhibition.

Even with the familiar faces from the 2017 Elite 8 leading the Ducks to an eventual blowout victory, there are still areas to improve. Overall, though, head coach Kelly Graves is happy with where the team stands early in the season.

“Got out of this what we wanted to,” Graves said. “We got a chance to get some of the rust off which is always a positive.”

The Ducks play was a bit choppy throughout, but the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Going up against Westmont — an NAIA school out of Santa Barbara — Oregon jumped out to an early lead and never trailed.

The Ducks’ defense was stifling, holding Westmont scoreless for over the first five minutes of the game. Oregon kept the pressure on throughout, forcing the Warriors to go deep into the shot clock consistently. In order to compete against some of the tougher competition coming its way this season, it’s the work on defense that may push Oregon into the elite status in the country.

“I was impressed defensively, how well we played, how hard we played and how we created a lot of disruption and turnovers,” said Graves.

Oregon’s work on the defensive end allowed the offense ample opportunities to find its rhythm throughout the game. An 11 point lead at the end of the first quarter worked its way up to a 39 point, no-doubt win for the Ducks.

Sabrina Ionescu, Ruthy Hebard, Mallory McGwire, Lexi Bando and Justine Hall were the starters for the Ducks. However, Graves made sure to get all 11 active players on the floor.

“I think early on, I like to play a deep bench. I think it saves their legs for the spring, and we hope to have an extended spring,” Graves said. “Right now, we have a lot of players who can contribute in different ways.”

Albeit just an exhibition, the Ducks recognize the importance

in getting the comfort level and chemistry back throughout the roster before the games start to count.

“Chemistry just comes with time,” Bando said. “The more games we play together, the more comfortable we’re going to feel.”

Ionescu, Hebard and McGwire will be relied upon to carry a big load throughout the season.

On Sunday, though, the trio of sophomores combined for just 14 points.

It was the two seniors in the starting lineup, Bando and Hall, that led the way on the scoring end, combining for 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting.

“They’ve both given us great leadership on a day-to-day basis,” Graves said. “They’re doing the things that seniors are supposed to do.”

Hall averaged just 11.7 minutes for the Ducks last season after transferring from Purdue during the 2015-16 season. But if Sunday is any indication, a larger role is awaiting the Denver, Colorado, native who finished with 11 points.

“Just being able to contribute as much as possible, knowing my role, and just being a solid, consistent player,” Hall said. “Especially being a defensive stopper.”

Just as important as having the seniors ready to lead the way is getting the international freshmen feeling comfortable in a Ducks uniform. Satou Sabally looked the part on Sunday, finishing with 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting.

It was a small crowd on hand at Matthew Knight Arena, but Sbally and the rest of her teammates shouldn’t get used to that. The spotlight will be shining bright on the Ducks, who enter the season ranked No. 11 in the AP preseason poll.

“I love it. I think we should embrace it. That means we’re obviously doing something well and people think we have a good basketball team,” Graves said.

“The reality is you got to go out and prove it.”

The Ducks sneaked up on the college basketball world last season. Now they have a target on their back. Their season continues on Friday against Cal State Northridge in the Preseason Women’s NIT.

BY DAPHNE MARTIN • TWITTER @DAAPHNEMAARTIN While senior Alyssa Tobita and junior Shweta Sangwan won consecutive sets on opening day of the ITA Fall National Championship, Oregon women’s singles made it far in the Jack Kramer Invitational, but the doubles pairs fell short of victories against Southern California.

In the matchup against Florida’s Ulyana Grib and Maryna Veksler, Tobita and Sangwan proceeded with a win in the round of 32, 7-5, 6-2.

Their record came to an end when they faced Georgia Tech pair Paige Hourigan and Kenya Jones, losing 7-5, 6-2.

“I am proud of the way Alyssa and Shweta represented Oregon and our program,” head coach Alison Silverio said. “It was an honor to play in this event, and I am confident we will use these experiences to propel each other and our program forward.”

Oregon gained wins amongst all four singles qualifiers, advancing to the round of 32.

Senior Nia Rose faced Daphne de Chatellus, claiming a 6-3, 6-3 win while junior Daniela Nasser opened the singles bracket with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Madeline Almeida.

In her first appearance at the Jack Kramer Invitational, freshman Paiton Wagner swept UC Riverside’s Lauren Wolfe, 6-0, 6-1. Sophomore Julia Eshet carried through with a comeback victory against LoyolaMaramount’s Anna Romeka,

dropping the first set then winning the match 1-6, 6-2, 10-4.

Nasser and Eshet advanced to Friday’s quarterfinals, with Nasser gaining back-to-back victories against Fresno State’s Emma Wilson (6-1, 6-4), and fifth-seed Alaina Miller (6-3, 6-1).

Eshet achieved a three-set win in the round of 32 against Washington’s Miki Kobayashi. In a tie-breaking rally, Eshet managed to come out on top, winning 5-7, 7-5, 6-3. Her victory run continued in the round of 16 against UC Santa Barbara’s Amit Lev-Ari 7-6, 6-3, guaranteeing a spot in Saturday’s semifinals.

Senior Nia Rose won her opening set against top-seed Pepperdine’s Laura Gulbe in the round of 32, but fell short of the victory in the second and third sets, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. Wagner shared a similar result with a loss to No. 4 seed UC Santa Barbara’s Elizaveta Volodko, 6-3, 6-1.

Day three started off with Oregon filling two spots in the semifinals: Nasser facing No. 1 seed Gulbe and Eshet in a matchup against Washington’s Vanessa Wong. Nasser suffered a loss to the 66-ranked player of Pepperdine 7-6, 6-2, as well as Eshet losing the final match 6-7, 6-4, 7-6.

Although the fall season has officially ended for Oregon women’s tennis, their spring season will begin in January.

BY MAGGIE VANONI • TWITTER @MAGGIE_VANONI Oregon closed out its fall season this weekend with two championship titles at the Gopher Invitational and a semifinal appearance at the 2017 Oracle ITA Fall National Championships.

Simon Stevens, Akihiro Tanaka, Ethan Young-Smith, Ty Gentry and Armando Soemarno made the trip to Minnesota for the Gopher Invitational, as Thomas Laurent and Cormac Clissold remained on the west coast to compete in the ITA Fall Nationals in Southern California.

The Gopher Invitational was broken into multiple brackets.

On Sunday, the doubles pairs of Stevens and Gentry and Tanaka and Young-Smith each took home a bracket title.

“Overall it was a solid weekend,” Oregon associate head coach Jonas Piibor said of the Ducks’ performance in the Gopher Invitational. “There was a lot of tennis, which is exactly what we want this time of year. We still have a lot of things to improve on before we start the dual season in January, but we are moving in the right direction.”

The Ducks opened the invitational on Friday, winning seven of their eight matches. The team’s only loss of the weekend came in the second round of doubles play for Tanaka and Young-Smith against Utah’s duo of Santiago Sierra and Chase Stoner, 6-3.

Oregon won all 10 of its matches on Saturday, as Stevens and Gentry earned their way to the finals with a win over Dartmouth’s Roko Glasnovic and David Horneffer in doubles, 6-3. Tanaka and Young-

Smith defeated Denver’s Wyatt Lovera and Ignatius Castellino in doubles, 6-1, to also advance to Sunday’s finals.

On the other side of the country, Laurent entered the ITA Fall Nationals as the No. 16 seed.

He began the tournament on Wednesday and defeated No. 9 Will Bushamuka of Kentucky in singles, 5-7, 6-4, 6-0.

Laurent took on Georgia Gwinnett’s Kevin Konfederak in the singles quarterfinal match. Laurent dropped the first set but won the second to force a deciding third which he won, 7-6 (8-6).

“It’s hard to put it into words, that was one of the best quality tennis matches I’ve seen at the collegiate level,” head coach Nils Schyllander said. “It’s a huge accomplishment for Thomas.”

Laurent was unable to build on that success, though, falling to No. 3 Petros Chrysochos of Wake Forest of 6-2, 6-2 in the semifinals.

He joined Clissold in doubles play as the duo lost against the tournament’s second-seed of Will Little and Johannes Schretter of Baylor on Wednesday, 6-4, 6-2, placing them in the doubles consolation round.

In the doubles consolation bracket, Laurent and Clissold won Thursday and again on Saturday against the 55th-ranked pair of Matic Spec and Felix Corwin of Minnesota, 1-6, 7-6 (5), 10-8. The duo lost in Sunday’s finals against Florida’s Oliver Crawford and Chase Perez-Blanco in 6-2,6-3.

With the fall season now finished, Oregon will not return to the court until preparation for the spring season starts in January.

Review: Tyler, The Creator brings the colorful world of “Flower Boy� to Eugene

Los Angeles-based rapper Tyler, the Creator brought the brash sounds and beautiful colors of his “Flower Boy� tour, along with Odd Future tagalongs Taco and Jasper, to McDonald Theatre on Saturday night.

Tyler released his highly successful album “Flower Boy� in July and started the tour in promotion of the record in late October. His stop in Eugene took place just a week after his annual Camp Flog Gnaw music festival. But despite speculation towards a special, unannounced guest, the Flower Boy was generally unaided at his show in Eugene.

The McDonald Theatre’s stage was simply decorated. Embedded in a plethora of lighting fixtures, a lone, metal-framed cube sat in the middle of the stage that Tyler would occasionally lean on or sit in. With fog gushing from under the cube in striking lighting, Tyler’s approach to stage design is reflected in his latest album’s colorful aesthetic.

Most Odd Future fans knew what to expect for a concert opener. Taco kept the crowded ballroom full of energy with his contemporary DJ set that included songs like “Solo (Reprise),� “Paper Planes,� “Pursuit of Happiness� and “All Of The Lights� in closing.

Once Taco finished up his set, and after about 15 minutes of King Krule’s “The Ooz� playing through the PA System, Tyler emerged from the uncurtained metal cube bearing a white Golf Wang t-shirt, quirky, patterned green pants and a green baseball cap.

He began his performance with “Where This Flower Blooms,� fixing the atmosphere of the venue to better match the vibe of his last album.

Most of the songs Tyler, the Creator performed were from the album — but he did find some time to throw it back to previous works.

Over the next hour and 20 minutes or so, Tyler bounced around the

tracklist of “Flower Boy� while taking the occasional deeper dive. “Forward,� “Boredom,� “911 / Mr. Lonely,� “Who Dat Boy,� “Glitter� and “See You Again� were some of the tracks performed off the latest album.

But fans cheered just as loud for throwbacks like “IFHY,� “She,� “48� and “Tamale.�

Throughout the night, Tyler continued to entertain the crowd with his boisterous attitude that’s tastefully laden with shy-boy body language and a poignant bravado. He often would lean on the framing of the cube while rapping to give off a vulnerable look. For the second half of “911 / Mr. Lonely,� he sat in a naive criss-cross alone in the center of the cube rapping his verse, presumably to further his shy-boy image.

Perhaps the underlying piece that tied the production together was the myriad of bright, striking lights that illuminated the hall. Bright oranges, powerful reds and stunning purples filled the room, making the atmosphere heavily reminiscent of the cover of “Flower Boy.� The way the lights reflected off Tyler’s white shirt made the performer glow even more so than he naturally does.

Of course, Tyler had some original thoughts to share between songs, and this time, Eugene was the topic of conversation. “Sup Eugene, Oregon? Eugene, Oregon sounds like the dirtiest nigga ever,â€? he said. “This city is so pretty, though, god damn. Y’all got trees and shit. I’m from L.A., ya’ll have real white people here‌ Are there any black people in the audience?â€?

And after investigating, he wasn’t very impressed by the city’s diversity.

Tyler closed with “Glitter,� thanked the crowd, blessed his lungs, took off his shirt and threw it into the crowd. Tyler then walked off the stage calmly to Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On,� — his Eugene stop was a great success.

ADVICE FOR AFTER THE FAIR

We asked Payal Shah from Fisher Investments how to handle different interview scenarios.

Scenario 1:

Scenario 4:

You interview a student in November after meeting them at the Career Fair. After the student exceeds your expectations in several interviews, you extend them an offer to join your company in December. The student accepts the offer but decides to keep job searching to see what else is out there.

You meet with a student at the Career Fair and interview them the next day. You see great potential in this student, but determine they are not the right fit for your open position at this time. You let the student know and the student is left feeling discouraged.

Should a student continue job searching after accepting a position?

How do you advise a student navigating rejection, and what would you recommend they do after the interview to impress you in the future?

We encourage students to pursue and interview with as many companies as possible so that they can make the most informed and educated decision on a future employer. Once they receive offers from their top employer prospects, they should commit to the one that offers the most value. From an employer’s perspective, the company is looking to fill their open positions with their best candidates, so they would prefer their best candidates not accept and then withdraw their acceptance. If the student has any pending offers or are in the interview process with other companies, they should let the employer know during the final stages of the interview process and ask for an extension on the offered deadline, if necessary.

The student should keep in mind that just as every employer is not a great fit for them, they may also not be the best fit for every position. The student should never take a rejection personally, but should learn from the process in any way possible so that they can come back stronger next time. After the interview process, if the student is still interested in working for this company, they should stay in touch with the potential employer and continue to express interest while continuing to build skills. Just because they did not fit any open positions at that time doesn’t mean they will not be a great fit for other positions in the future.

Scenario 5:

Scenario 2: After meeting a student at the Career Fair and conducting several interviews with them, you extend an offer to join your company. Within the same week, the student receives another offer from a different company. The student is unsure how to handle deciding between multiple offers.

What do you recommend to a student deciding between multiple offers?

The student should consider the whole compensation package. This includes salary, bonuses, health benefits, 401k plans, work and life balance, and so on.

Also, the student should take into consideration the culture of the company and the growth opportunities that the company can offer. The student will be investing their time and future into this company just as much as the company is investing in them

Scenario 3:

You meet a first year student at the Career Fair, and you have a wonderful conversation with them. Your company does not have any opportunities for them at this time, as you only hire students who are about to graduate, but you definitely want the student to apply in the future!

What efforts can students take who are excited about your company but do not yet qualify for your open positions?

The student should make an effort to stay in touch with the employer for the remainder of their time in college. For example, they can connect with the recruiter or employer on LinkedIn or continue to attend the employer’s events every time they come on campus. They should take advantage of any opportunities the employer may provide for one-on-one interactions so that they can learn more about the company, the positions, and the types of candidates they are searching for. This will put the student in the best possible position to land a job when they are fully qualified.

A student receives an offer from a company after interviewing with them at the Career Fair. They accept the offer but then receive an offer from another company the next day. The student would rather work for the second company, but they are worried about going back on a commitment they already made.

How does a student balance being in the interview process with many companies at one time?

The student should inform all potential employers of pending offers in the final interview stages with other companies. This will keep from burning any bridges if the aforementioned situation does arise. Also, if the student is honest with all potential employers about their prospects, the student can request a longer deadline to accept the offer.

Participate in On-Campus Recruiting On-campus recruiting is used by employers seeking to hire interns and entry-level employees from some of the brightest and most talented college students. Each year, employers visit campus to recruit students through career fairs, networking events, and on-campus interviewing. Why is this important to students?

• Employers are physically on campus looking to hire for internships or jobs.

• Start meeting employers early even if it’s your first term at the UO. • Build your professional network.

Advising Hours

• Get insight on a company you potentially want to work for.

This week, music writer Nic Castillon looks into the British band Blur’s lengthy history. “Leisure� (1991) and “Modern Life is Rubbish� (1993) Blur signed to Food Records in 1990 and released its debut album “Leisure� in 1991. Unfortunately, the record feels like an uninspired derivative of previous British acts such as The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays. It would take a few years for Blur to fully develop its sound. “Leisure� is a debut record that fails to capture the band’s full potential — similar to Radiohead’s “Pablo Honey.� “Modern Life is Rubbish� was a step in the right direction. The album would later be considered the first release in the band’s “Life� trilogy, alongside “Parklife� and “The Great Escape.� With this record, Blur began to explore a richer studio sound that later manifests itself in the offbeat production of the band’s subsequent albums. “Parklife� (1994) In 1994, Blur reached a high point both critically and commercially with “Parklife.� This pushed the band to the forefront of the emerging Britpop genre. On this record, Blur found a distinct musical voice, in addition to a successful hit: the dance-driven single “Girls & Boys.� On the satirical “Parklife� and the ridiculous album closer “Lot 105,� Blur refuses to take itself too seriously. Tracks like “End of A Century� and “To The End� add a

melancholic feel to the album. This record creates a distinctly British sound and remains one of the most enjoyable listens in the band’s discography.

Not only is “Parklife� a defining album of the Britpop era, it is one of the best albums to come out of its decade. “The Great Escape� (1995) In 1995, Blur quickly followed up the success of “Parklife� with “The Great Escape,� an album that frontman Damon Albarn would later criticize as “messy.� Despite Albarn’s comments, “The Great Escape� remains a solid entry in the Blur discography. Touching on many similar themes, “The Great Escape� functions well as a companion to “Parklife,� and the lively “Charmless Man� remains one of the band’s best singles. “Blur� (1997) Blur’s choice to make its fifth album self-titled could be seen as a conscious rebirth. During the late ‘90s, Britpop was declining and Blur was seeking to distance itself from the sound of its past records. On this album, the band takes influence from American indie-rock acts such as Pavement, and it presents a relaxed, lo-fi sound that contrasts the polished pop music of “Parklife� and “The Great Escape.� Tracks like “You’re So Great� and “I’m Just A Killer For Your Love� showcase the band in its rawest form. The stripped-down and straight forward “Song 2� also ended up charting at number 6 on the U.S. alternative rock charts, which brought more attention to Blur among American audiences. “13� (1999)

With “13,� Blur began to push its music in an art rock direction. This album continues with the same experimentation from the band’s self-titled release. On tracks such as “Battle� and “Bugman,�

Blur melds feedback and noise with traditional pop elements. The single “Coffee & TV� showcases some of Albarn’s most mature songwriting. “13� also features some of the longest tracks Blur has ever written. The soulful album opener “Tender� pushes at eight minutes long. In retrospect, “13� is one of Blur’s greatest albums. Those turned off by the band’s earlier Britpop sound can find an engaging listen with this release. “Think Tank� (2003) In the early 2000s, guitarist Graham Coxon made the decision to leave Blur. The band would go on to write and record its seventh album, “Think Tank,� as a three piece. With Coxon’s departure, Blur experimented with a more electronic sound, which polarized some fans. Despite this musical shift, “Think Tank� offers a refreshing take on Blur’s established sound and further explores the band’s proclivity for studio experimentation. Much of “Think Tank� would also foreshadow Albarn’s work on the landmark Gorillaz album “Demon Days.� “The Magic Whip� (2015) Over a decade passed between “Think Tank� and “The Magic Whip.� On this album, Coxon rejoined the band, and Blur returned to a more guitaroriented sound. “The Magic Whip� proved that Blur still had the potential for well-crafted albums over 20 years later.
