UNCERTAINTY AHEAD AS BOARD PROPOSES

NONRESIDENT TUITION INCREASE

BY ZACK DEMARS • TWITTER @ZACK_DEMARS

Anxious faces filled a conference room in Johnson Hall last Friday morning as members of the Tuition and Fees Advisory Board agreed on a proposal to increase nonresident tuition by 2.97 percent for the next academic year.

From here, the nonresident proposal will go to University of Oregon President Michael Schill for consideration. Schill will host a public forum at 6 p.m. Feb. 11 to gather feedback, then make his final recommendations to the board of trustees at its March 4 meeting.

Friday’s proposal comes at the heels of several months of information about rising costs, meetings and public forums. One of the major considerations by the board was public perception: e board settled on 2.97 percent to keep the advertised increase slightly below $1,000 per year so as not to deter potential new students, who are needed to increase the tuition-paying population. e proposal, which only impacts out-of-state undergraduate students, would increase the cost of a single credit by $22 next academic year.

For a full-time student taking 15 credits a term, that shakes out to an increase of $990 a year, an increase slightly larger than last year’s 2.49 percent nonresident increase.

TFAB will consider and propose changes to resident tuition in the spring, after more data is available about how much the state legislature will contribute to the university, which of two revenue proposals the state will approve and how many new students enroll next year.

On Friday, board members discussed at

length the impact of the proposal. Many of the students on the board expressed their concerns about rising tuition rates.

“I’m not going to talk about these numbers like they’re not human beings. ere’s people that sleep in their cars because they can’t pay rent because they’re paying tuition instead,” said Tan Perkins, ASUO chief of staff. “If you want to go over the 3 percent increase,” Perkins told board members, “our dissent will be fiery.”

In a change from previous years, the university will set tuition for resident students later than nonresidents, so TFAB can consider contributions from the state and university enrollment numbers in setting resident tuition. is led TFAB members to debate the differences in financial situations between residents and nonresidents.

“We need to be concerned about the students who are already here,” ASUO President Maria GallegosChacon told board members. “We don’t have to stick it to out-of-state students, and we don’t have to stick it to in-state students. To say, ‘Which students do we want to put it on most?’ is a huge disservice by this committee.”

At the end of Friday’s discussion, each of the board’s 18 members raised their hands or nodded their heads to indicate that they “could live with” the out-of-state proposal, sending it on to the president and board of trustees.

For resident tuition, there is a longer road ahead. e board of trustees will approve a new rate for residents in May, after enrollment numbers are confirmed. Additionally, depending on how much

the legislature contributes, there’s a possibility that voters might need to approve new taxes, which could push a final decision until the summer or fall. e main factors the university is still rolling the dice on are the current budget shortfall, next year’s enrollment growth and the state’s allocation. e current shortfall (how much more the university has spent than it has made) is projected to be about $5.6 million, but Chief Financial Officer Jamie Moffitt hinted to TFAB members that it could turn out even higher than that. e number of new students attending UO could have a big impact on the financial outlook, too. Moffitt estimated that new enrollment could increase university revenues by up to $8 million if enough new students come to campus. Moffitt warned TFAB members, however, that university leaders overestimated last year’s enrollment, which led to the current shortfall. e biggest factor still up in the air is the state’s appropriation to the university. Because it’s approved by the state legislature and potentially the voters in a general election, that number could be set as early as May or as late as September.

TFAB’s estimates predict that the state’s contribution could be anywhere between $2.7 million less and $8 million more than last year. at’s an unknown of $10.7 million — a huge chunk of the university’s cost drivers.

At Friday’s meeting, student TFAB member Tova Kruss shared her outlook for the coming months.

“Everyone’s going to be very unhappy, and we’ll still have a gap,” Kruss said.

GRAD STUDENTS TAKE DIVERSITY AND CONNECTION INTO THEIR OWN HANDS

BY EMILY MATLOCK • TWITTER @EMILYD_MATLOCK

When Jaclyn Kellon first came to the University of Oregon for graduate school, she said she knew she would be one of the few, if not the only, women of color in her program. She knew pursuing a doctorate in chemistry would be a challenge but didn’t realize the social pressures that would come along with the program.

“I felt really isolated and had thought about actually leaving grad school because of the lack of social community that I felt,” Kellon said.

Instead of leaving, Kellon decided to form a student support group called Community for Minorities in STEM. Last year, she and another former graduate student began Creating Connections, a student group designed to bring graduate students from diverse backgrounds together to form a community of support.

Now in her fifth and final year at UO, Kellon serves as the treasurer on an executive board of four women from diverse backgrounds that makes up Creating Connections. Together, she and the other board members organize events each term to help graduate students from traditionally marginalized backgrounds socialize and build a network outside of their program departments.

On Friday, Jan. 22, Creating Connections hosted its second Diversity Dinner. Graduate students across all departments were invited to the Willamette Atrium for dinner, which was funded by donations from the various graduate school departments.

As roughly 130 graduate students filled the atrium, volunteers gave them name tags with an assigned table number. e seating assignments were arranged so that students from different departments would sit together and meet new people, said Hadil Abuhmaid, a member of the executive board.

Before dinner began, graduate students could put a pin into a map to indicate where they are from. Pins were scattered across North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia by the end of the night.

“I really love that they’re having people get together who are underrepresented identities at the school – I think it’s fantastic,” said Beck Banks, a media studies doctoral candidate who attended the dinner. e members of Creating Connections’ board noticed a lack of support and social opportunities for graduate students on campus. e organization serves to connect graduate students not only in a professional, academic setting, but in a way that forms friendships as well.

“Our mission is to connect and create support for students all over campus because if you look around, there’s nothing specifically for this group, and we’re trying to be there for them,” Abuhmaid said.

Abuhmaid, a doctoral candidate in media studies and external communications coordinator for Creating Connections, is the only Palestinian grad student that she knows of at UO. She said when she first came to the university, she wished she had a guide to living in Eugene and meeting people.

She wanted to know where to buy furniture and how to take the EmX bus, for example. at’s why Creating Connections put together a Google Doc titled “Life in Eugene,” where students can find resources and recommendations for anything from where to get a haircut to where to find certain types of food, entertainment and more.

“I like the support [the organization] creates because it doesn’t have to be about school all the time or how to apply for a grant or how to find a GE position. It’s about life and being there for each other,” said Abuhmaid.

Moving to Eugene from Oakland, California, was an adjustment for Ana Hernandez as well. Having come from a city with a lot of racial diversity, she knew the transition would be difficult, she said. She looked to join Latinx student organizations when she got to campus, but most were geared toward undergraduate students, she said.

“When I came into the program, one concern I had for myself or just coming to Eugene in general was, ‘Am I going to find people who look like me, who speak another language that I also speak, who have similar cultural or religious or just different types of values,’” said Hernandez. “ ere are things that I really value about my different identities and like just finding people with similar values was important to me.”

Hernandez volunteered to help with last year’s

Diversity Dinner and applied to be on the executive board this year. She now serves as Creating Connections’ student relations officer. e four graduate students who make up the executive board all echoed feelings of isolation within their programs due to the lack of time and inter-departmental connections. For them, this organization has helped them form friendships with those who are facing similar things, they said.

“Upon arriving to Eugene, I immediately felt different and Creating Connections was my way of finding graduate students that looked like me and were experiencing the same thing,” said Helen Toloza, the board’s internal communications coordinator.

Creating Connections is only in its first year of being an officially recognized student group but has already proven to be successful in bringing underrepresented populations of graduate students together. By the end of this year’s dinner, attendees were exchanging contact information and making plans to meet up, members of the board said.

“I hope that every year from now on, the Diversity Dinner continues to grow in size and that the various graduate departments continue to support our goals through their donations,” said Toloza.

Creating Connections is supported by the Center on Diversity and Community, which is part of the UO Division of Equity and Inclusivity. For more information, visit its Facebook page.

UO Alumni share career lessons they’ve learned

Brent MacCluer

Job Title: Partner, AHM Brands marketing communications Major: Journalism/Public Relations Graduated: Bachelor of Science degree, 1994 In 1993, Brent MacCluer started out by interning at the local FOX TV station in Eugene. By the time he graduated, he was working part-time. Today, he’s still located in Eugene as a partner at AHM brands, a marketing brand development and communications firm.

What does networking mean to you?

Networking is very, very important. It is like planting seeds, but you can’t do it in a gross, manipulative way.

You can’t go out into the world and say, “I’m going to meet this person because they’re going to do something for me.” It doesn’t work like that. You have to want to meet people because of who they are, to build friendships and relationships. It’s so important to network, because everything good that happens in your professional life will happen because of someone you know.

How do you begin to network if you don’t know anybody?

I would get involved in your local chamber of commerce, and I would also work with UO’s Alumni Association. Any time a past student calls and says, “Hey, I’m a UO grad,” I want to help them build those connections. I would also volunteer and identify companies and industries that are interesting to you. If you contact a company that you’re interested in and ask how you can be involved, like volunteering, the majority of business people will say yes to that and provide resources.

What would you say to someone who works hard and networks, but still isn’t making progress?

You make your own luck. It’s like baseball. You don’t hit the ball every time you swing the bat, but if you know you’ve done the work and keep trying, it will happen eventually.

If you’re out engaging with people and you’re trying, and you’re networking, you will get your lucky break. It may take a while, but it will happen. If you sit on the couch waiting for your lucky break, it’s never going to come.

SUNRIVER BREWING COMPANY

MOVING INTO OAKWAY CENTER

BY JACK FORREST Sunriver Brewing started in the small resort town of Sunriver, just 20 minutes outside of Bend. In 2012, the Cameron family’s vision was two small brewing tanks in a pub that would serve food and award-winning beers. e idea grew into a dream for a full-on restaurant and a complete brewery that would begin in the Village in Sunriver before moving to the second location in Bend. Now, Sunriver Brewing has set its sights on expanding across Oregon by taking over the Hot Mama’s Kitchen and Bar location at Oakway Center in Eugene. e new location is set to open in March, according to a press release provided to the Daily Emerald.

Sunriver Brewing had been looking to move into other areas in the Pacific Northwest since 2017; the search spanned any city that was within eight hours of Sunriver. After a large, local outpouring of support, the owners settled on Eugene.

“Out of all the places, this is the place we really had the most feedback that was positive,” said Ryan Duley, director of sales and marketing for Sunriver Brewing. “People here were just really stoked about the idea.”

More specifically, Duley said community members from the area around Coburg road wanted to bring Sunriver Brewing into the Oakway mix. e support stems from all the customers that Sunriver Brewing has served over the years. “It goes back to listening to what the people around Eugene were saying,” Duley said. “ e best asset we had were the people in Eugene, and they were telling us this was the area to go to.”

What Sunriver Brewing is bringing to the area is different than the food truck fad that is going around Eugene breweries. Instead, Sunriver Brewing is opting to have a full, gourmet menu to go along with their craft brews. e combined experience of the Cameron family and Duley, mixed with the experience of Brew Master Brett omas, strikes a perfect balance between beer and food.

Just last year, the brewery was awarded four gold medals in the North American Beer Awards — a non-profit organization that holds two competitions every year. e gold medals went to the Deseo Latin Lager, Cocoa Cow Chocolate Milk Stout, Grandma’s Blonde Ale and Cameron’s Crest Scottish Ale. Sunriver Brewing

also won two silver medals and three bronze medals. e beer is objectively great, according to regional, national and international beer judges. e critics come from organizations like the Great American Beer Festival, which enlists professionals from the beer industry to judge over 4,000 beers. Every year since 2014, Sunriver Brewing has won at least one medal from national/ international competitions.

In 2017, Sunriver Brewing was named “Small Brewing Company of the Year,” and their brew master was named “Small Brewing Company Brewer of the Year” by the Great American Beer Festival. Some of the brewery’s beers are especially beloved, like the Fuzztail Hefeweizen, which has won multiple gold medals at numerous competitions over the past two years. e food that Sunriver Brewing raves about is an artisanal blend of burgers, gourmet sandwiches, pastas and many other American takes on options like chicken tikka masala. “ ey are just really talented and really good at this full-service restaurant experience,” Duley said of the chefs at Sunriver Brewing.

Not only is the staff talented, but it puts emphasis on helping the community. Along with their charitable friends at the Ocean Blue Project who specialize in ocean and river cleanups, Sunriver Brewing hopes to organize a cleanup of the Willamette River to help connect with, and beautify, the Eugene/ Springfield community.

Still, Sunriver Brewing values gathering people around a table and sees its restaurant as a way to build community.

“We really do believe this sit-down pub environment — sharing food, sharing beers — is a good way for people to get together,” Duley said.

One way they hope to create this environment is by putting in common tables where people can sit with others they’ve maybe never met, as well as expanding the patio that is already outside of Hot Mama’s to make it dog friendly. is well-balanced beer and food experience will be open sometime mid-March with a grand opening party on April 6. According to Duley, it’ll be quite the event.

The best asset we had were the people in Eugene, and they were telling us this was the area to go to.”

WEST UNIVERSITY CRIME A EUGENE CITY RESPONSIBILITY OR UOPD RESPONSIBILITY?

Alyssa Barclay, a junior at the University of Oregon, lives near the intersection of 19th Avenue and Alder Street. Barclay says she has experienced a property crime every term since moving there in fall 2018. Last fall, she found her door kicked in, her window screens ripped apart and an intruder in her backyard.

Earlier this term, Barclay and her roommates chased off an intruder who she determined had been in her home for at least three hours — while she and her roommates were also inside.

Barclay is only one of many students who have been affected by off-campus crime, living in the West University area, a neighborhood primarily populated by UO students that extends from Alder Street to High Street and from about 11th Avenue to the mid-20s avenues. e Eugene Police Department, the University of Oregon Police Department and students work together to prevent crime by sharing information around the university area — but in the West University neighborhood, crime is disproportionately abundant.

Local police department chiefs say the ubiquity of criminal activity in the West University area is caused in part by understaffed police departments and communication breakdowns between EPD and UOPD. But while some students feel uninformed or underserved, police departments have thoughtout protocols for when to inform students and types of crime to focus on.

Trespassing, theft and even robberies at gun or knife point have occured in the neighborhood over the past year. During last winter quarter, a rash of eight robberies in two weeks cemented West University’s shady reputation for many students.

“I don’t even feel safe walking around on campus,” Barclay said in light of that infamous two-week robbery spree.

In 2018, approximately 921 crimes were reported in the West University area, according to crimereports.com. Over the same year, South University reported approximately 160 crimes and East University/Fairmount neighborhoods reported about 200 crimes. e vast majority of the reported crimes were property related.

Eugene Police Department Chief Chris Skinner, noted that West University’s proximity to downtown Eugene and the amount of commercial establishments in the area, which Skinner said are more likely to be robbed, contribute to the neighborhood’s high level of crime.

However, other issues within EPD are impacting the safety of the neighborhood.

Skinner said that EPD is not adequately staffed to handle the needs of the entire city, so his department has to prioritize calls when someone is in immediate danger. As a result, Skinner said his officers do not have

time to do the proactive patrols needed to curtail this type of crime.

“We’re doing the best we can,” Skinner said. “But I don’t want to ever pretend like we’re where we need to be when it comes to level of service.”

Grant Klausen, a senior at UO, lives near the intersection of 18th Avenue and Patterson Street. Klausen’s home was broken into last anksgiving break and robbers stole about $7,500 worth of items from him and his roommates, including an iPad. He said EPD did not respond to multiple emails and phone calls he and his roommates made to the investigator assigned to his case.

“I understand that they are probably busy and have to prioritize bigger crimes,” Klausen said. “But it would have been nice to feel like they have our back because that was a pretty violating thing to have happen.”

Klausen, who is originally from Seattle, said Eugene has an unsafe reputation among his hometown community. He said that repudiation influenced several of his friends’ decisions to not attend UO. EPD is hiring 10 officers from within the department this year to form what Skinner called a “street team” that would devote time to recurring issues in certain neighborhoods. He also said he is working with the city to secure funding for hiring 87 additional employees to the department, including dispatchers, professional staff and officers. Skinner said such an expansion of his department would help him reach more of the lower priority calls.

“It certainly closes the gap on the number of calls that we can answer,” Skinner said, “when we actually have a big enough patrol staff to have the discretionary time to go to those calls for service.”

UOPD and EPD UOPD, on the other hand, does have time to do proactive policing of the West University neighborhood that EPD would like to do.

UOPD Chief Matthew Carmichael said the department has steadily increased its presence in the area. He referenced increased patrols on 13th Avenue and the recent Vacation Watch program — which he said would be returning for Spring break.

Carmichael also brought up the community substation on 13th Avenue and Alder Street that will open later this year and a program to increase lighting on particularly dark city blocks.

“I have a responsibility for student safety both on and off campus, and I’ve always worked that way,” Carmichael said. “But I also have to be respectful of the fact I don’t police the city.”

“I UNDERSTAND THAT [THE POLICE] ARE PROBABLY BUSY AND HAVE TO PRIORITIZE BIGGER CRIMES. BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE OUR BACK BECAUSE THAT WAS A PRETTY VIOLATING THING TO HAVE HAPPEN.” GRANT KLAUSEN, UO student

campus and the amount of students living in the neighborhood, it is no surprise UOPD plays a significant role in policing the area. But due to communication challenges between the two departments, UOPD does not have as significant of a presence as the department or EPD would like.

To understand why it is so difficult for EPD and UOPD to handle West University crime, it is helpful to know the chain of events that go into dispatching an officer to a situation. Skinner said that all 911 calls in Eugene are directed to the dispatch center. If the call is coming from an area on campus, the dispatcher assigns the case to UOPD. If the call originates off campus, it is assigned to EPD. Skinner said that if EPD has a call overload, they will request UOPD to assist with a case if the crime happened in an area close to campus, such as West University. But because EPD and UOPD are communicating via different radio frequencies, information sharing between the two agencies is less than fluid.

“Once we actually get resources headed in the right direction, we work really, really well together,” Skinner said of the partnership between the two departments. “ e mechanism by which we share crime really is fairly archaic. It really comes down to who’s talking to who, or who’s sending who an email or who is making a phone call to who. And it’s not the most efficient and effective way that we can do this.”

Carmichael said UOPD officers regularly respond to EPD’s calls for assistance when

UOPD does not have a backlog of its own calls.

Carmichael said the more common frustration he has with the West University area is regarding the amount of crimes that go unreported.

Reporting crimes, no matter how small, he said, helps a police department in multiple ways. Reporting a crime informs police departments about crime trends in a given area.

Carmichael said many crimes are solved through connecting related events. e more crimes that are reported means a better likelihood of making such connections.

Carmichael added that police resources are prioritized to areas where the most crimes are occurring, so the more crimes that are reported in an area, the more attention that area will receive.

He said any off-campus student who needs to report a non-emergency crime can use the EPD online report system.

For more on how and why the police departments choose to alert students of threats, and how students can assist the police by reporting crimes, read the rest of this story at DailyEmerald.com.

Carmichael says that keeping students informed takes a fine balance to make sure text alerts are valuable, and the same balance goes into all facets of keeping Eugene safe. “[If] I now text [students] every time something occurs within the city or in some proximity to campus, at what point are you gonna stop looking at your phone,” Carmichael said. “At what point are you gonna say, ‘Oh there’s another stupid alert’?”

Recommends

As midterms loom, students are eager to cling to any potential and spontaneous interest, welcoming its distraction. Some find going to the movies and enjoying a simple comedy the best way to forget about responsibilities; some chill out and find their favorite songs off a new album; some prefer contemplating art with a cultural icon. Luckily, this week, there’s potential for all three.

Take a look at the Emerald’s list of things to check out this week.

“WHAT MEN WANT” IN THEATRES FRIDAY, FEB. 8

INTERGENERATIONAL QUEER HAVDALLAH

Romantic comedies — or comedies in general — are always a fun genre to tune into. It’s usually hard to leave a bad impression on people unless the movie is just that bad. is week, Taraji P. Henson is starring in the new film “What Men Want,” and it appears to be worth watching. e film is about a sports agent who is working in a male-dominated industry. One day, she is granted the ability to read men’s minds and soon her whole world takes a turn. is film features a cast of well-known faces such as Tracy Morgan, Aldis Hodge and Erykah Badu. is film is also coming from the same people who produced “Girls Trip” and “Ride Along.” is film is not a bad idea for a date or to just a reason to get out. It probably will not be an Oscar-worthy production, but it will make you chuckle more than once.

Are you queer? Are you Jewish? Are you an ally of either of those communities? If you answered “yes” to any or all of those questions, come join us in building intersectional community across gender, racial, and generational lines. 6-8 p.m. Temple Beth Israel, 1175 East 29th Avenue.

VISITING ARTIST LECTURES SERIES WITH WHITNEY HUBBS On ursday, Feb. 7, visual artist Whitney Hubbs will visit the University of Oregon as part of the Visiting Artist Lectures series. Trained in both documentary photography and conceptual art, Hubbs’ artistic work often explores landscapes and the female body. From an early age, Hubbs was involved in the punk rock riot grrrl community, making fanzines and organizing shows. She later went on to study art at both the California College of Arts and UCLA and received her MFA in 2009.

Her 2016 book, “Body Doubles,” showcases art from a solo exhibition at the M+B gallery in Los Angeles. She is currently working on another art book, set to publish later this year. Her upcoming lecture, entitled “Trials, Errors, and Some Successes,” will highlight recent work and give insight into her artistic process. e event, which is free and open to the public, will take place in Room 115 of Lawrence Hall at 4 p.m.

CHERRY GLAZERR’S “STUFFED & READY” Cherry Glazerr’s newest album, “Stuffed & Ready,” is one of the most anticipated of 2019 and worth the hype. Stuffed to the brim with catchy, feminist anthems, the album balances guitar-heavy angst with the lead singer’s internal struggles.

Although “Stuffed & Ready” matches 2017’s “Apocalipstick” with quirky irony and danceworthy beats, this album leads into more introspective territory than its predecessor. As lead singer Clementine Creery writes on Spotify, “I am telling my story of how I feel and where I am with life,” whereas “with Apocalipstick, I was an over-confident teenager trying to solve the world’s problems.”

From the sexually tinged, feminist “Daddi” to the existential crisis-themed “Wasted Nun,” “Stuffed & Ready” manages to create radiofriendly tunes with a message.

OPINION THE FUTURE IS ESPORTS, AND NOT OFFERING SCHOLARSHIPS IS HOLDING UO BACK

BY ANDREW STEVENS • TWITTER @VNDREWWS In the next few years, it is more than likely that college sports will no longer be predicated only on genetics. Students of all physical abilities and even the disabled may be able to play a varsity sport for their college and even receive scholarship for doing so. How is this all possible?

Esports. rough esports, students from all over the country with diverse backgrounds will be able to get scholarship money for college.

Video game competitions have been rising in popularity for a long time. In 2016, the League of Legends World Championship sold out the Staples Centre in under an hour.

Professional esports has already proven that there is an audience for competitive gaming, but only recently has college level esports been a possibility. e first varsity esports team was formed when Robert Morris University announced a varsity scholarship-supported League of Legends team. Fast forward to 2016 when the National Association of Collegiate Esports was formed, the first and only institutional association for varsity esports.

Only 73 schools comprise NACE but many of them offer scholarship opportunities, and the number of schools is only going to keep growing.

Not very many state schools or big public universities have varsity esports programs yet, but there are a few notable pioneers such as Boise State, UC Irvine and the University of Utah. But what about the University of Oregon? Well, UO does, in fact, have a varsity esports team, but it is not a part of NACE. e UO esports team is a member of the Pacific Alliance of Collegiate Gamers. PACG was formed almost exactly one year ago for college esports teams on the west coast that weren’t fully recognized yet. e creation of PACG shows student enthusiasm for esports, and the potential it has.

UO should take this opportunity to be one of the leaders in the collegiate esports world.

It already has renowned athletic programs with millions of dollars in funding. If only a small part of that money were put toward a scholarship-sponsored esports team, the benefits would be enormous.

Students who aren’t as interested in athletics, like me, can sometimes feel ostracized by the intense sports culture, but adding an esports team would give me and many others the opportunity to cheer our school on. We could become a powerhouse in varsity esports and create a more comfortable environment for those who don’t love football.

UO already offers students many merit-based and athletic-based scholarship options. Adding esports to that list would increase student diversity by letting kids who may never have gone to college have the chance. Students who can’t play a sport for any reason will no longer be counted out from scholarships. e esports community is only going to grow as time goes on, and colleges everywhere, including UO, should recognize that. ere are plenty rewards to be reaped from having an esports team: live matches, broadcasted coverage and merchandising can generate tons of revenue and attention. UO would be stupid to pass up on that opportunity, but only time will tell.

8 OPINION

Female athletes are often underrepresented or misrepresented in the media. On Sports Illustrated covers, women are more likely to be pictured with more skin showing or smiling compared to men, making them seem less threatening. (Creative Commons)

THE MARGINALIZATION OF

FEMALE ATHLETES IN THE MEDIA

BY EMMA SPAETH Some of the greatest athletes in the world are women, yet when we watch ESPN or read a copy of Sports Illustrated, we see far fewer women than men. e main problem is the lack of coverage and inequality of broadcast time, but the focus of coverage is also an issue. rough the language used to describe them and how they are depicted, female athletes are largely marginalized in the media.

Female athletes and athletic events are dramatically underrepresented in the media. A study done by the University of Southern California in 2015 found that the coverage of women’s sports has barely increased in the last 25 years, despite the number of female athletes greatly increasing. e survey analyzed Los Angeles broadcasts, as well as ESPN’s SportsCenter, and found that coverage of women’s athletics has actually dropped since 1989. Michael Messner, co-author of the study and professor of sociology and gender studies at USC, stated that it “demonstrates the unevenness of social change.”

Messner and his colleagues began analyzing what was dominating the 96 percent of broadcasting

that focused on men’s athletics and released this list of stories that were featured over women’s sports: • A swarm of bees invading a Red Sox/Yankees game • A giant corn dog that cost $25 at an Arizona Diamondbacks game • A ribbon cutting for a restaurant opened by Tommy Lasorda • Where former Lakers player Kendall Marshall will find a good burrito in Milwaukee (Chipotle) • A stray dog that became a spring training mascot for the Brewers ese stories are humorous and interesting, but it’s shocking that a corn dog takes spotlight over a headline about women’s athletics when only 2 to 4 percent of coverage is about female athletics.

It’s not just an underrepresentation of female athletes in the media that dominates this problem but the portrayal of women when they are covered. When we hear about female athletes, how much of the coverage is about their athletic ability? And how much is about their relationship status, body shape or physical appearance? e majority is about the latter. Ben Wasike, a

professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, analyzed every cover of Sports Illustrated and ESPN the magazine in 2016 and found that not only are women “ridiculously underrepresented,” but there are significant differences in how male and female athletes are depicted.

“Women appearing on the covers were likelier than men to be portrayed in a sexualized manner, in terms of skin exposure and suggestive poses.” Wasike noted that ‘sexually suggestive poses’ referred to athletes pictured with “arms spread overhead, lying down, lips spread, lips pouted, sensually embracing a partner, suggestive eye look and so on.”

Wasike found that women were twice as likely to be depicted with more skin than men and 61 percent of female athletes, versus 21 percent of male athletes, were pictured smiling. Tom Jacobs of the Pacific Standard comments on these statistics, stating that “female athletes are depicted in such a way to make them less threatening to male readers. While we celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of Serena Williams and Lindsey Vonn,

we still want to see them smile.”

Women are highly sexualized in the media and still underrepresented compared to men.

In order to increase the attention of female athletes, we need more female broadcasters or broadcasters who show equal interest in women’s athletics. In a study done by Women’s Media Center in 2017 on 20 of the nation’s top sports news outlets, men produced 62.3 percent of news reports, while women produced just 37.7 percent. While this number is a huge increase from the results from the same study conducted in 2012, those numbers are far from equal. ese studies have shown that the representation of female athletes in the media is a problem and we need to see change. More female representation in the newsrooms could lead to better representation of female athletes. ere also needs to be an increase in broadcast time for women’s athletic events and an increase in coverage of athletes and events in print media. e underwhelming representation of female athletes is astounding and needs to change.

3 TAKEAWAYS FROM OREGON WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

102-43 VICTORY OVER COLORADO

BY BRYCE DOLE

With 13 missed baskets and six turnovers, the Colorado Buffaloes (11-10, 0-9 Pac-12) ended their dismal first quarter against No. 4 Oregon women’s basketball (21-1, 10-0 Pac-12) in a 27-2 hole that would prove insurmountable.

Now seated at the top of the Pac-12 conference after their victory over No. 14 Utah on Friday, the Ducks dominated the Buffaloes in a 102-43 victory, improving upon its perfect record in conference play.

Here are three takeaways from Sunday’s game: Strong scoring efficiency in the first half From the start, the Ducks continued to prove why they are one of the most dynamic offenses in the country, shooting 66 percent and 50 percent from 3-point range behind leading scorers Ruthy Hebard and Maite Cazorla, who each scored in double digits.

Hebard, one of the nation’s most efficient scorers, who had 24 points and 12 rebounds in the game, said that when her team starts as strong as they did in the first quarter, it helps set the tone for the rest of the game. e Ducks offense ranks second in the NCAA in points per game, field goal percentage and 3-point percentage. On Sunday, the Ducks ended the game improving upon both their field goal and 3-point range with 58 percent from the field and 50 percent from deep.

Colorado outmatched from the start After going 10-1 in nonconference play, the Buffaloes have yet to win a game in Pac-12 play.

Without their first-team AllPac-12 point guard Kennedy Leonard, who has been sidelined with a foot injury for over a month, the team struggled to find any rhythm, with the first basket of the

game coming at the eight-minute mark in the second quarter.

Last season, Leonard broke Colorado’s single season assist record and was third in the Pac-12 in assists per game. Leonard was essential to the Buffaloes’ offense, scoring in double digits 25 times last season and having four games with 10 or more assists.

Oregon head coach Kelly Graves said Leonard is quickly proving to be one of the Pac-12’s most important players and will be the force that will help Buffaloes get back on track when she returns to the court in the coming weeks. e Buffaloes ended the game shooting 25 percent from the field and 19 percent from deep.

Promising fourth quarter behind bench players For the majority of the fourth quarter, the floor was comprised mostly of players off the bench for the Ducks. It was a unit that

Graves said doesn’t usually get to play together in games but showed aggressively which picked up for the team’s sluggish end to the third quarter.

“After they played a few minutes together, I really thought they started the gel,” Graves said.

Guards Taylor Chavez and Morgan Yaeger both received chances at point guard without the help of starting guards Maite Cazorla or Sabrina Ionescu, which Graves said is uncommon.

Back-to-back 3-point baskets from Yaeger, strong play off the glass from forward Oti Gildon and pull-up jumpers from freshman guard Taylor Chavez displayed a promising side of the Ducks offense. Graves said the energized end of the quarter provided valuable minutes for his team.

Shooting percentage in the fourth quarter was comparatively better than the third, and at the end of the game, each player on the Ducks roster had scored.

MEN’S TENNIS SWEEPS NEW MEXICO 7-0

on select items

TO WIN THIRD MATCH OF THE WEEKEND

BY MAVERICK PALLACK • TWITTER @MAVPALLACK After playing two matches the previous two days, there was reason to believe that the Oregon men’s tennis team would be a little sluggish for Sunday’s match against New Mexico. at notion was quickly erased as the Ducks not only put together their best doubles performance, but dominated the Lobos in singles play from start to finish, sweeping New Mexico 7-0 to clinch a 3-0 weekend. omas Laurent and doubles partner Emmanuel Coste took the doubles point advantage 6-2 while Ty Gentry and Joshua Charlton clinched the point 6-4, leaving Armando Soemarno and Charles Roberts’ match unfinished tied at 5-5.

“I thought doubles was a little bit better than the last two days,” Laurent said. “We had a little bit more positive energy.”

While all six singles matches went just two sets, both Laurent and Charlton only dropped one set each, shutting out their opponents in the first set.

Laurent was in control from the beginning of singles play, winning the first 11 games of his match against No. 23 Ricky Hernandez Tong.

Laurent’s win is his third straight and brings him to 13 on the season.

His career total now sits at 88, which is six shy of breaking Jayson Amos’ program record for career wins.

“To be honest, I didn’t really know,” Laurent said. “I knew I was close, but I didn’t know the exact number. … I’m not focusing too much on my record or the longterm goal, I’m just taking it one match at a time.”

Laurent, a senior from France, has also spent time helping newcomers Charlton, a freshman from Australia, and Coste, a sophomore from France, with the challenges collegiate dual matches bring.

“I’m just trying to help them a little bit with college tennis,” Laurent said. “It’s a little bit different. We’re not used to playing a team sport when we came from Europe and everything. Emmanuel and I are pretty close, so we talk a lot. I think the match he won two days ago, the clinch was huge for him.”

Charlton is now 6-0 in dual meets and continues to impress his coaches and teammates.

“I feel like Josh is pretty mature when he’s on the court,” Laurent said. “He seems like he knows where he’s going. He is just super focused all the time, so it’s easy to do well.”

With the score 3-0, Gentry clinched the match for Oregon, defeating Stephan Holis 5-2, 6-4. e win is Gentry’s seventh in a row, and fourth since his promotion to the No. 3 position.

“Just confidence in the game I think is big for me, because coaches have told me since freshman year that I have the ability. It’s just I’ve got to own it and trust it,” Gentry said.

“I’m trusting it and owning it just like they’re saying, and it’s giving me success, so I can’t complain with it.”

Following Gentry’s match clincher, Roberts (7-6, 6-2), Oshima (7-6, 6-3) and Coste (7-6, 6-4) won their matches to give the Ducks their third 7-0 win of the year. e Ducks will remain at home next weekend, hosting Boise State on Friday at 3 p.m. and Louisville on Saturday at 2 p.m.
