Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is seeking an interested student to fill a seat on the board of trustees of the University of Oregon. e student trustee position will be open in July after the current student on the board, Will Paustian, graduates at the end of this academic year, according to the board’s announcement. e student trustee is the only voting student on the 14-member board that makes large-scale decisions for the university. Recent topics have included construction at Matthew Knight Arena and tuition increases, among others.

Paustian said he encourages anyone who’s interested to apply, especially students pursuing careers in public policy, management, finances or higher education.

“My experience on the board has taught me more than any class I could have ever taken in college,” Paustian said in an email. “It is inspiring to see how many people genuinely care about the success and well-being of students at the university, whether they live in the state of Oregon or halfway around the world.”

While the rest of the board is made up of business leaders, timber executives, academics and philanthropists, Paustian’s role as the only student member is a unique one. Even so, some positions he’s taken with the board don’t always match the will of the student population.

“I am a representative from the student body but not a representative of the student body,” Paustian said of the position in the board’s vacancy announcement. at distinction has been most

evident in one major issue: tuition increases. Paustian has voted, according to board meeting minutes, in favor of tuition increases in at least two of his three years on the board.

In 2016, however, he pushed the board to approve a lower increase than they’d originally planned. at proposed amendment wasn’t adopted, according to the meeting’s minutes.

Tuition is the board’s most prevalent issue to students, Paustian said, but not necessarily the one with the biggest impact. “ ere are equally important decisions that the board makes,” said Paustian. “But that gets the most attention from students, and rightfully so.” e next student trustee will begin their two-year term on July 1, 2019, attending board meetings and other events throughout the year, according to the announcement. ere are four board meetings currently scheduled for 2019.

Along with the student position, seven other trustees’ terms will end in June 2019, according to the state’s boards and commissions expiration document. ose expiring appointments include the faculty trustee position currently held by Laura Lee McIntyre, a professor in the College of Education.

Any student, faculty member or community member interested in serving on the board of trustees should apply by February, according to the announcement.

Applicants must be nominated by Brown and then be confirmed by the state senate, according to the state’s application website.

NORTH ENTRANCE OF HEALTH CENTER

CLOSED UNTIL FALL

Plans for the renovation of the University of Oregon Health Center were proposed in April of 2016 and a budget of $18 to $19 million was finalized last February. (Courtesy of the UO)

e north entrance of the University Health Center located on East 13th Avenue will be closed winter and spring terms during the next phase of the facility’s renovation; however, students can still access services during construction.

Dr. Roger ompson, who oversees the renovation, said the main entrance is estimated to reopen closer to the end of construction during summer term or in the fall. Until then, students can enter the health center through the south entrance that faces the Walton dorms. e project, which ompson said is running smoothly, includes a 22,000- square-foot expansion

and a renovation of the existing structure.

Debra Beck, the newly appointed executive director of the health center, said the design of the building is aimed to be more student friendly than it was before.

“Once students come into the facility, how you go into the areas of care will feel very different,” Beck said. “It will feel much more fluid.” e health center will improve the specialized nurse clinic though creating a more functional space, Beck said. “Not only are we enhancing our services but we’re also providing a better workflow not only for the students who need out services but also for the people who work here,” she said. e renovation will also include an acute care center that will be available to students who need to access the health center quickly and didn’t have time

to schedule an appointment.

Last February, the board of trustees approved a budget of $18 to $19 million for the renovation, and the project’s funding comes through an increase in student fees and ASUO funds. e project was put into action by 2015-16 ASUO President Quinn Haga. ompson said that Haga wanted to have more mental and physical health services available to students and made the health center renovation a priority. e project was initially proposed to the board of trustees in April 2016 and the final drafts and budget were approved last February.

“I’m appreciative for the students and their patience. It takes patience to see the project go from point A to point B,” ompson said.

ARTS & CULTURE Last fall, Kanye West announced his ninth studio album, “Yhandi.” (Creative Commons)

NOTABLE ALBUMS TO ANTICIPATE IN 2019

BY NIC CASTILLON

By each January, the fervor of year-end lists has died down completely. But the entire cycle must reset. It’s impossible to predict all of what 2019 will have in store, but here are some albums people will likely want to say something about.

Panda Bear — “Buoys” Experimental pop musician and co-founding Animal Collective member Noah Lennox — better known by his stage name, Panda Bear — is set to release his sixth solo album on Feb. 8. Although Lennox was absent from the recording of Animal Collective’s most recent project “Tangerine Reef,” his upcoming LP entitled “Buoys” still shares in some of the aquatic themes. “Dolphin,” the album’s mellowed-out single, features a light acoustic guitar with some water droplet samples, working toward a relaxed and uncomplicated aesthetic.

In a recent press release, Lennox positioned the album as a personal and artistic transition. “ e last three records felt like a chapter to me, and this feels like the beginning of something new,” he said. For “Buoys,” Lennox paired up with his previous collaborator Rusty Santos, who is known for his production work on two of

the most celebrated albums in Lennox’s ample discography: the Animal Collective album “Sung Tongs” and Panda Bear’s 2007 LP, “Person Pitch.”

Weezer — “The Black Album” Toward the end of 2018, Weezer set a release date for the band’s long-rumored “Black Album,” a supposedly darker companion piece to 2016’s “White Album.” Since then, the band has released two singles from the upcoming project. e unapologetic anthem “Can’t Knock the Hustle” acts as a tongue-in-cheek response to the band’s more recent criticism, and the radio-friendly “Zombie Bastards” features a tired pop tinge that has become typical of most late-era Weezer songs. ose who favor the first two Weezer albums (read: almost everyone) might be disappointed with “ e Black Album,” as the band continues to stray further away from the alternative rock bliss of its ‘90s output. But this new album should still prove to be a curious listen, thanks in part to some production from the acclaimed TV on the Radio guitarist David Sitek. Weezer seems to have a genuine interest in stylistic experimentation and frontman Rivers Cuomo also seems to be amping up his edginess once again — or at least he’s saying

stuff like “bitch” and “motherfucker” now in the lyrics. e album is set to release on March 1.

Kanye West — “Yhandi” Who knows if this album will ever come out.

Last fall, the always-controversial Kanye West announced his ninth studio album, “Yhandi,” with an intended release date of Sept. 29, 2018 — but the album failed to release on time. Kim Kardashian West then announced through twitter that the album’s release date would be pushed back to Black Friday. But nothing came out on that day either. Kanye subsequently retreated to a studio in Uganda to rework and finish the album, but he remains unsatisfied with it. He’ll announce it “once it’s done,” he said.

With a similar album title, and artwork featuring a transparent MiniDisc and a lone piece of purple tape, “Yhandi” will likely act as a spiritual successor to Kanye’s acclaimed 2013 album, “Yeezus.” Expected collaborators include 6ix9ine, Kid Cudi and Nicki Minaj. Although, with some of Kanye’s more recent antics — including both a MAGA hat selfie and a questionable comment on slavery — some of his fans may have already lost interest.

CELEBRITY GOALS AND RESOLUTIONS IN 2019

BY ALEXES JONES • TWITTER @ALEXESJONES7 • PHOTOS CREATIVE COMMONS

“New year, new me” is the anthem every Jan. 1. With the beginning of a new year comes the desire to set new goals and resolutions and crank up the motivation. ough most people share their new goals with close friends and family, celebrities also take the time to share their new year’s resolutions and motivation, but with the whole world (usually via social media) — often they share in hopes to inspire their followers. Here are celebrity goals, resolutions and words of encouragement to give you some inspiration:

Kevin Hart Comedian and actor Kevin Hart posted some light-hearted motivation to his Instagram story while in the gym, telling his followers that another trip around the sun means it is time for a “new attitude, new goals, new blessings, new beginnings and new starts.” He followed up his words of encouragement by playfully yelling to all of his story-watchers that his energy for the year is on cloud nine — perhaps due to an espresso he had earlier in the day.

Ariana Grande Ariana Grande had a tough year when it came to relationships. She endured the breakup and death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller and broke-off her engagement to comedian Pete Davidson. e singer and actress took to twitter to announce that in the new year, her resolution was to remain single for all of 2019 and possibly all of her life so that she can focus on herself.

Shay Mitchell With over 21 million followers on Instagram, Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell has a huge audience to inspire. e actress took to her Instagram story with a black background and white text to tell her followers that in the new year, she wants them to remember that everyone is in the journey of life together.

She continued on by encouraging all of her followers to be more compassionate, empathetic, patient and thoughtful in 2019.

Amy Schumer Comedian, actress and soon-to-be mom Amy Schumer took to Instagram to share a hilarious photo of her sister helping her tie her shoe that she can no longer reach because of her pregnant belly. In the caption, Schumer encouraged her followers to cherish one another — she specifically asked for women to link arms with one another and continue to move forward in 2019.

Jessica Simpson Singer and actress Jessica Simpson took to Instagram to share her goals for 2019. ey were simple; she wants to have a waistline again and not waddle anymore. Her goals pertain to the fact that she is entering the new year pregnant with her third child. It is clear that once the baby is born, her goal is to slim back down to her previous size and recover from pregnancy.

Katie Couric Former “Today Show” host Katie Couric posted her simple new year’s resolution to Instagram. Ironically, in the new year, she wants to spend less time on the photo sharing app she posted on. Couric jokingly captioned the photo saying her resolution only lasted seven hours — something that is all too relatable to many users.

GRAVES’ PERSONAL COACHING STYLE HAS LED TO HISTORIC SUCCESSES

BY MAGGIE VANONI • TWITTER @MAGGIE_VANONI In 2011, the Gonzaga women’s basketball team made history. e Bulldogs defeated No. 7 Louisville, 76-69, to earn the program’s first trip to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. Being the No. 11 seed that year, Gonzaga became the lowest seeded team to reach a regional final in Tournament history.

While the 10,717-person crowd left Spokane Arena following the game, then Gonzaga head coach Kelly Graves remained on the court, waiting for his star player. At the opposite side of the floor, Courtney Vandersloot, a

senior point guard at the time, was speaking with the media.

After Vandersloot concluded the interview she turned around and saw Graves. Without hesitation, she sprinted over to her coach and embraced him in a giant hug.

“When I think about it, I still get goosebumps,” Vandersloot, now a guard on the Chicago Sky in the WNBA, told the Emerald in a phone interview. “It was the end of my career, the end of our run, and that run we made changed my career path. And for him to just be there, there was so

much emotion that we were both just probably feeling. And with that hug I just felt that I was finally just giving it all to him.” e Spokesman Review captured the moment and printed it in the paper the next day. Graves carried a copy of the picture in his wallet for some time before hanging a larger one in his office.

For the duo, the hug didn’t just celebrate their Sweet 16 victory but instead marked the importance of their relationship.

“It’s a good memory,” Graves said.

“Sometimes we get too focused on things that aren’t that important. But to me that’s important.”

Moments like the hug illustrate the reason Graves fell in love with coaching. is emphasis, creating a deep, family-like bond with his players, is the backbone of Graves’ 30year coaching career. It’s a foundation that time after time has allowed him to create historic success at numerous collegiate programs, including his time with the Oregon Ducks.

“If you asked me what the most rewarding part of coaching is, I would

say being able to be part of [players’] lives for, really, forever,” Graves said.

“Coaching is less about the expertise of whatever sport you’re coaching; it’s more about relationships and communication with your team. at’s what it comes to, and it’s relevant to any sport and anything that you do.”

Graves first learned how impactful a family-like atmosphere on a team is when his high school basketball coach in Utah went out of his way to show Graves his importance to the school’s team.

In the spring of his junior year of high school, Graves’ parents decided they wanted to move five hours North from St. George to Logan, which would force him to play his senior year at a new school and with a new team.

At the same time, Mark Poth was hired as the boys basketball head coach at Dixie High School. On his first day of the job, Poth was informed that Graves, the best player on the team, would be leaving the school.

For Poth’s first act as head coach, he sat down with the Graves family and convinced Graves’ parents to let him stay at Dixie for his senior year.

In addition, Poth opened his home to Graves and allowed the senior to live with him for the second half of the school year.

It was an act of kindness that would form into a strong friendship between the two, so much so that when Poth needed an assistant coach at Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, Washington, five years later, he called Graves and opened the door to what would be a historic coaching career.

“Kelly had a love for the game,” Poth said. “He loved to compete, and I knew he’d be very successful as a coach. … Fundamentally, [he was] a very solid player and that transitioned over into his coaching.

He was a very valuable asset to our program.” e job at Big Bend was just the beginning. Graves’ passion for coaching took him from Moses Lake, to Portland, on to Moraga, California, and then back up to Spokane, Washington, to coach at Gonzaga.

When Graves made the move to Eugene in April 2014, one of his Gonzaga recruits, Eugene-native and future Oregon 3-point record holder, Lexi Bando, switched her commitment from Gonzaga to follow her future coach.

Bando, a high school senior at the time, had been recruited by Graves to play for Gonzaga; however, when news broke of Graves’ decision to leave, she decided to stay home and play for the Ducks.

“I just believed in his vision,” Bando said after Oregon earned its first Pac-

12 Championship title in March 2018.

“He built a dynasty at Gonzaga. ey won conference championship after conference championship. Taking it to the Pac-12, he wanted a challenge and I believed in him.”

Since arriving in Eugene five years ago, Graves has used this foundation to lead the Ducks on a historic run, highlighted by the program’s first Pac-12 Championship and back-toback Elite Eight appearances. Just like his previous teams, a key to the program’s success has been his emphasis of creating a family both on, and off, the court. is past fall, the Ducks began their season with a road trip to Fairbanks, Alaska — the hometown of junior forward Ruthy Hebard. e trip wasn’t for any tournament, nor against a top opponent. Graves scheduled the game to show Hebard her value to the program.

In Alaska, Oregon spent time with the Hebard’s family, sharing a meal together at their home. e team visited a local school and ran drills prior to the game with kids in the community. roughout the game, the crowd was filled with posters cheering on Ruthy and the Ducks.

“Ruthy is really important to our program, so I thought it was important for us to get her back home,” Graves said prior to the Nov. 6 game.

Two weeks later, the team traveled to Moraga to play against UC Riverside and Saint Mary’s. Not only did the trip signify Graves’ reunion with the first Division-I program he coached (Saint Mary’s), but also as a home visit for junior point guard Sabrina Ionescu, who’s from Walnut Creek, 15 minutes North of Moraga.

“I just think it’s great for them to have a chance to go home and play in front of family and friends,” Graves told media at a press conference after the Moraga road trip. “A lot of time their immediate families come to games, but it’s not often the extended family [comes]. is last weekend, Sabrina’s extended Romanian family, which is quite large, were all there, and I thought that was pretty cool.”

Forming such strong bonds between himself and the players is something Graves believes is a crucial element in coaching successful teams. It’s something he learned from his own coach, and something he hopes his players, staff and the sports’ community will pass on.

For the past couple of years, Graves has taken his coaching experience to Oregon students aspiring to be coaches as a guest speaker in the university’s coaching classes within the PE and Rec Department.

During his lecture, he hands out

a document. On one side he lists the core values behind the Oregon women’s basketball team. e other side is labeled, “Components of our championship program.”

Graves first drafted this “blueprint” in 1987. It lists four components with the last one titled, “Creating a Family Atmosphere.” e document reads: “ is family environment will be based on developing and creating: A team where all members are full scale participants. … Relationships with open and honest communication. …

Empowered individuals who will seek pride in themselves, their teammates, their university and basketball program.”

At the time of its creation, Graves was finishing up his own basketball career at the University of New Mexico. He had abandoned the idea of becoming a lawyer, and his coaching career was nonexistent.

While the document’s core values have been revised with every new team, Graves said his blueprint has mainly stayed the same.

“He likes a challenge,” said Graves’ oldest son, Max, who has followed his father by coaching girls high school basketball in Arizona. “I think he also just has a vision. He has a vision for what he wants that is pretty remarkable.”

Graves said that knowing he’s left programs better than when he found him is one of the reasons he is proud to call himself a coach.

“We build something really special,” Graves said. “You come to our games and you see the fans and they are really into it. I walk around town and they’re like, ‘Hey Coach, love your team,’ and that means a lot. We’ve built something at each school that the university, and the community, and the fans can be proud of, and the kids, the team themselves.”

OPINION

THE IMPRACTICALITIES OF FIRST-YEAR DORM-LIVING

BY LIZZY PALMQUIST A mandatory live-on requirement was instituted for all incoming freshmen by the University Housing office in the fall of 2017. e University of Oregon was the last of six other institutions, including Oregon State and Lewis & Clark College, to establish a live-on requirement. Since then, the university has required freshmen to live on campus for the entirety of their first year. is mandate, while based on good intentions by the university, is impractical for many freshmen financially or otherwise. “ e live-on requirement was implemented by the University of Oregon after a group of campus partners studied data showing that first-year, fulltime students at UO who lived on campus were more likely to graduate, as well as graduate faster,” said Leah Andrews, Director of Marketing and Communications for University Housing.

While living on campus may benefit first-year students academically, it can put a stress on them financially. According to the University Housing website, yearly rates for residents can cost anywhere from $9,000 to over $19,000, depending on the number of roommates, meal plan, location and whether or not the room has a bathroom. e website also anticipates prices will increase between 3–5 percent for the 2019–2020 school year.

Meanwhile, the cost of rent for an apartment off-campus is significantly cheaper. For example, the 2125 Franklin apartments can charge as low as $574 per installment per person, depending on apartment type.

Anna Scherer, a sophomore living in studio apartments managed by Von Klein Property Management, said she pays $750 each month without a lease, meaning she does not have to pay for the months during the summer when she chooses to go back to her hometown.

“My utilities are completely paid for, minus internet, which costs me about $45 a month including taxes,” Scherer said. “Dorm housing was roughly $3,300 a term, including the meal plan.”

Scherer now pays $2,250 per term for her apartment, saving her about $1,050 per term in comparison to when she lived on campus as a freshman. e dorm environments can also be problematic for students attempting to adjust to the challenges of being a freshman. Learning to juggle college classes, finding where to eat and immersing in a new environment are exhausting enough. Add to that the challenges of sleeping in a crowded dorm with little space and no control over the comings and goings of roommates and hallmates, and it can be difficult to get adequate sleep.

is can lead to underperformance in classes for freshmen already struggling with a new style of learning. When asked about difficulty sleeping in the dorms, freshman Sarah Suh said, “It can make me not want to get up for class sometimes, so sometimes I feel rushed in the mornings and don’t really have time to check if I have everything.”

Meal plans are another part of on-campus living that can be problematic for freshmen. ere are nine dining venues on campus for students to choose from. Freshmen who are more centrally located in residence halls such as LLC or Hamilton have access to the different options provided.

However, for students living in Barnhart or Riley (located several blocks away from campus), the only close options for dining are Puddles Cafe and Barnhart Dining, which are both located in Barnhart.

As a result, freshmen living in those residence halls are often limited in their choices for meals. “I dislike how easy it is to get tired of the food, since it’s always the same thing,” said Maja Sobalvarro, a first-year resident of Barnhart. “When I get

my own food [off-campus], I obviously can get whatever I want, so it’s preferred, but I can’t always afford it.”

Students choosing the “cost-effective” Carson Unlimited Plan are also incredibly limited in their food options, especially when attempting to eat healthily. is meal plan requires students to eat all their meals at Carson Dining, which serves buffet-style foods. According to the nutrition calculator on the University Housing website, much of the food served at Carson is highly caloric and high in saturated fat.

As a result, it can be difficult for students to make healthy eating choices. “I feel like a lot of [meal plan] options aren’t made for health — more for convenience,” said Sobalvarro.

While living on campus as a freshman may be practical for some, unhealthy meal plans and the overall financial cost may outweigh the benefits for others. Students should not be required to live on campus as freshmen and should have the freedom to choose the housing environment that works best for them.

TAKEAWAYS FROM NO. 5 OREGON’S 98-58 BLOWOUT WIN OVER WASHINGTON STATE

BY AUGUST HOWELL • TWITTER @HOWELL_AUGUST In a decisive win in the second game of conference play, No. 5 Oregon (13-1, 2-0 Pac-12) led by 20 points at halftime and did not let up in the 98-58 victory over Washington State (6-8, 1-2 Pac-12). In the fourth quarter, Oregon piled on to its 30-point lead, and put Washington State in an eight-minute scoring drought while going on a 7-0 run.

Sabrina Ionescu recorded her 15th career tripledouble while Ruthy Hebard scored a career-high 34 points in the win.

Here are three takeaways from the game:

Sabally brings a bit of everything While Oregon’s bench doesn’t score a lot, the offensive impact of the starters is some of the best in the NCAA. With Ionescu’s 15th career tripledouble and Hebard’s career-high in points, Satou Sabally still found a way to impact the game in a multitude of ways. She scored 25 points, just two shy of her career-high.

In the first half alone, she hit a 3-pointer and blocked a shot on the next possession, then floated a tough pass into the paint for Hebard layup. is season, Sabally is averaging 16.2 points per

game. She also contributed three assists and seven rebounds, three of which were on the offensive glass.

On multiple possessions she either stole the ball and ran the floor, or got the outlet pass and finished the fast break with an easy layup.

“She’s become a matchup headache for some people,“ head coach Kelly Graves said. “Her ability to take people off the dribble, I mean, she’s a unicorn.”

Hebard bounces back One game removed from one of the lowest scoring games of her career, Ruthy Hebard returned to form and finished with a career-high 34 points on 16-of-21 shooting.

“After my game on Friday, I definitely wanted to come out and be a better force on the court,” Hebard said. “So I’m really happy I got it. I have great teammates to pick me up.”

She was aggressive from the start, drawing fouls in the post and cutting to the lane. Her matchup, Maria Kostourkova, had no answer all game.

At the start of the second quarter, she immediately made an and-1 layup, secured an

offensive rebound, and made a putback layup all in one possession.

Owning the paint, running the floor e Ducks’ offense ranks among the best in the nation all offensive categories. ey are second in points per game at 91.9 and have the best assistto-turnover ratio at 1.98. Oregon used its offensive prowess to completely outrun Washington State, with 21 points off turnovers compared to just 3 points by the cougars.

In the Pac-12 opener against Washington, Oregon squandered its lead with poor play in the second quarter, but that was not the case this game.

Much of that was due to the defensive execution and outrebounding the Cougars. e Ducks held Washington State to 39 percent shooting and had a 45-26 rebounding advantage.

After attempting 37 3s against Washington, Graves was pleased the team did not rely on the 3s tonight, as it only shot 16.

“Tonight we worked harder to get better shots, and it showed.”
