When Michael McColley was initially told that he wouldn’t be paid on time, he was frustrated.

Even after some of his GE orientation sessions over the summer, McColley — a first-year graduate employee who had just moved to Eugene to study prevention science — said he was unsure of which financial forms he had to submit and when he needed to submit them by. When McColley visited his department’s financial aid office to ask about those forms, he was told that he’d be getting late for not submitting them on time.

And days later, he and other GEs at the University of Oregon received an email telling them that they would be getting paid late because the university had missed its payroll processing deadlines.

“I was pretty much in the dark the whole time,” said McColley, who was paid the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 9 — the day after the university’s stated deadline for other GEs. McColley is one of the approximately 350 GEs — graduate students whose tuition is waived in exchange for teaching, researching or working in university administration — whom UO failed to pay on time at the beginning of October.

In an earlier statement, UO said that it would pay unpaid GEs by Tuesday, Oct. 8.

THE DAILY EMERALD

The Daily Emerald is published

by Emerald Media Group, Inc., the independent nonprofi t media company at the University of Oregon. Formerly the Oregon Daily Emerald, the news organization was founded in 1900.

Over the course of eight days, the Emerald sent multiple requests for comment and clarification to a university spokesperson, who did not respond with a statement by publication time for this story. “ e payroll department continues to work overtime to complete paperwork,” UO spokesperson Kay Jarvis said to the Emerald for an Oct. 3 article. “We have reached out to Graduate Employees to share options available for financial assistance through the Jesse M. Bell Graduate Loan and Fund. Loan applications will be processed immediately to expedite getting funds to affected GEs quickly.” e Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation, the union representing GEs at UO, caught wind of the issue on Oct. 1 and made vegan, gluten-free stew for GEs who needed food while they were waiting for their late paychecks.

It also filed a step 3 grievance against the university, according to an Oct. 4 announcement on the union’s Facebook page. Grievances are allegations that either the GTFF or UO has violated their contract, and step 3 grievances are filed directly to UO President Michael Schill. “ e failure of the University to pay GEs on time constitutes a violation of our Collective Bargaining Agreement,” the GTFF wrote in an Oct. 2 memo notifying UO

President Michael Schill of the grievance.

“In relief, the Union demands that all unpaid GEs be given their September 2019 pay, be compensated for any costs incurred as a result of their late pay and in all other ways made whole.”

Ken Hanson, a third-year GE in the sociology department, had to ask his partner to help cover his rent and credit card bills. When he saw the social media posts of other GEs who hadn’t been paid, Hanson realized that this wasn’t just affecting him. “ is is a large systematic failure,” Hanson said.

For other GEs, not getting paid meant having to call their banks to cancel automatic payments for rent. at’s what Kisa Clark, a GE in the UO journalism school’s media studies department, had to do.

“It’s just very frustrating,” said Clark, who managed to pay her rent within her landlord’s five-day grace period by withdrawing from her savings. “I’m lucky: I worked for a few years before coming to graduate school, knowing that as a graduate student and graduate employee, you don’t make a lot of money.”

“It’s just unclear how the issue happened,” she said.

UNBOXING BOARD GAME CULTURE

AT FUNAGAIN’S GAMER GARAGE SALE

BY ROBIN FITZCLEMEN

In the back room of the store, tables are piled with games. A crowd of shoppers fills any empty space, happily picking through the trove. A seller brings in a new box of games and before they have a chance to unpack, the games are plucked out and inspected. e carcass of the box is left empty on the floor moments later. Some of the games are already heading out the door, others are abandoned on a table, a treasure for someone else. at was the scene at FunAgain’s Gamer Garage Sale on Oct. 5. “We’ve done this almost since we opened up,” said Cary Madden, manager at FunAgain Games. “People want to sell their games. ey bring in whatever they want and they put prices on them. We pile them up in the main room.

Anyone can buy them and we give them full credit for whatever the game’s price is.”

More than 200 games changed hands at the garage sale between Saturday and Sunday, Madden said.

Classics like Monopoly and Risk made appearances at the sale but were not the focus.

Most of the games were from small, independent publishers. e variety seemed boundless with themes ranging from historical war settings to rescuing wombats. e frenzied scene at FunAgain is one example in a nationwide trend. Over the last decade, board games have exploded in popularity in tandem with the rise of crowdfunding. In 2018, tabletop game projects garnered $165 million in funding on Kickstarter, compared to $15.8 million for video games, according to Polygon. e fourth most-funded project ever on

Kickstarter was a nightmare horror survival board game called Kingdom Death: Monster. It challenges players to survive in a cruel world with little more than a loin cloth and a sharp rock to fight giant lions and gruesome monsters designed for mature audiences. e game received $12.4 million in pledges back in 2016.

Kingdom Death is also a reminder of the stereotypes that plague tabletop. Female characters are often heavily sexualized, scantily clad in armor that resembles Lord of the Rings meets professional wrestling.

Aside from art on game boxes, the stereotypical maidens clothed in armored bikinis are all but absent from FunAgain, which is clean and conservatively decorated. Madden said that is intentional.

“Board game shops have a possibly somewhat deserved reputation in past of being kind of dank dungeons of adolescence. at’s the stereotype,” Madden said. “Ordinary people can walk into the store, and they don’t feel that they’ve been transported into some other world. You can hang out and it’s comfortable and that’s by design.”

Madden said he wants the shop to feel like a bar or salon — somewhere people can go to socialize even if they are not shopping. An extensive library of free-to-use games lines the hall of FunAgain.

Madden said they have over 1,000 titles available to anyone who wants to play.

One game in its public collection is Wingspan.

It was released earlier this year and its success earned it a prominent feature in e New York Times. e game is about bird enthusiasts

attracting a variety of avian species to assorted habitats.

Wingspan is currently ranked 32 out of nearly 18,000 entries on BoardGameGeek, a popular forum for tabletop games. Kingdom Death: Monster is ranked 33. While the two games vary from each other drastically, they have a common characteristic: shared social experience. e social aspect is what attracted Jordi Charles to tabletop games. “For me, social gatherings get weird. ey can be taxing on my energy. If I have a board game for me to focus on, it’s different than looking at the cell phone which is normally my escape,” Charles said. He visited the Gamer Garage Sale with his friend Andrew Harper; they’ve been playing tabletop games together for five years.

“Be it D&D, playing a simple board game or a complicated board game, you can hang out with groups of people. It’s social, but it’s not like, ‘Hey, let’s go to a bar or just stand around and talk,’” Harper said. “It’s the built-in ice breaker scenario.

You’ve got something to do, something to focus on. It can be entertaining but you get a sense of progress as well.”

In spite of the social aspect, some adults may still feel stigmas around playing games. Madden doesn’t buy into that. “ ere is nothing at all shameful about this. It’s fun, it’s stimulating and it’s a good time,” Madden said.

On Tuesday, games leftover from the Garage Sale were still available for purchase, alongside FunAgain’s selection of new titles. eir next Gamer Garage Sale will be in spring 2020.

“I’M ON A DIET”

THE PROFFESSIONAL INPUT ON CURRENT DIET TRENDS

BY EMILY CHAN

In the age of Instagram and other social medias’ #thinspiration and #bodygoals, “quick and easy” weight loss methods like fad diets are immensely popular. But do they even work?

On social media, most of these methods and products are advertised as the next revolutionary way to lose weight. Transformation accounts like @ ketotransformation give followers spotlights of their before-and-after photos. ere are so many choices, and bending under the peer pressure of others “embarking on their health journey” can be a slippery slope. Anyone can say they are going to start dieting, but choosing the most suitable approach for longterm personal success can be difficult.

“At the end of the day, you have to think about it as calories in and calories out,” said Taylor Hughes, a sports dietician for UO Athletics. “A lot of diets like to be all fancy and glorify eliminating certain food groups, but you have to look at if it’s healthy and if it’s allowing you to live your life normally.”

Four popular trends right now include the ketogenic, paleolithic, Whole30 and intermittent fasting diets. e ketogenic diet is “a high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate eating pattern,” according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. e diet seeks to eliminate carbs so that the body can break down fats into ketone bodies, which in turn become the main energy resource. is process is called ketosis and is the basis for the diet’s name.

“I think that it works for some people and they’ve had a lot of success with it, as long as you can figure out how to manage once you go off the diet,” Hughes said. She explains that it has helped people lose a significant amount of weight, but if they don’t have a smart plan for reincorporating carbs back, a person could potentially regain what was lost or even more.

“Instead of being like, ‘Oh, I think I’m going to go keto,’ you got to know what you’re doing,” Hughes said. “Do your research.”

Keto also has short- and long-term health risks, including flu-like symptoms shortly after starting the diet. e most severe long-term risks include kidney

stones, liver disease and deficiencies of vitamins and minerals due to eliminating many fruits and vegetables from one’s diet.

Another similar diet that cuts out a significant number of food types is the paleolithic diet. Also called the “Caveman” or “Stone Age” diet, it is centered around eating “like our ancestors did 10,000 years ago” to be healthy and lose weight, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Only “foods that can be hunted, fished or gathered” can be consumed, but there is controversy over eliminating grains, dairy, legumes, sugar and salt.

“I think it’s pretty restrictive,” Hughes said.

Particularly she pointed to the diet’s emphasis on no carbs. e belief that “carbs make you fat,” is a big myth; a carb is just like every other carb no matter where you get it from, she said. A lot of it is about timing when you eat it, and that it’s not that eliminating it completely will be the “end-all-be-all to weight loss” as every person needs them to burn energy.

Eliminating entire food groups and types can potentially lead to greater probability of disordered eating and can make eating out with large groups more difficult. e Whole30 diet is one that takes restrictions to another level. According to the 30-day program’s rules, one can only eat whole, unprocessed foods while avoiding any sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes, dairy, MSG/carrageenan/sulfites and baked goods/ junk foods. ere are a handful of exempt ingredients from each category, but these are hyper-specific.

“I don’t like eliminating whole food groups, it’s not realistic,” Hughes said. “I think it is interesting to see if your body has different reactions to not having that food group, but at the end of the day, it’s just too hard.”

Whole30 is a diet created by Melissa Hartwig Urban, a certified sports nutritionist, originally an experiment on her blog but then expanded through an actual nutrition plan and recipe book series.

“People are obsessed with food and body image so much now,” Hughes said. Fad diets seem more

prevalent largely due to social media, but researchers are “just putting more spins on the same thing, trying to find anything that’s different that will work,” Hughes said.

One of the different spins includes being timebased rather than eliminating certain foods: intermittent fasting.

“Fasting is really popular right now,” Hughes said; however, she said that the key to success with this diet is recognizing whether it’s possible to fit it into one’s schedule.

Some people choose to only eat between 1 p.m.-8 p.m., sliding the time block around based on wake-up time. Others may fast for entire days or several days at a time.

One of the biggest lifestyle improvements from IF is that it stops people from late night snacking. But on the flip side, this causes some people to justify eating whatever they want when they do eat because they’re not snacking, Hughes said.

“Lots of people do intermittent fasting and have results, some more than others,” Hughes said. “It’s like once you’ve stopped doing the diet, you just have to think about how [you’re] going to approach eating once the diet is over.”

She recommends that those wanting to lose weight calculate their energy needs and do the math. Five useful calorie counter apps include My Fitness Pal, Lose It!, FatSecret, Cron-o-meter and SparkPeople, according to HealthLine.

And she also suggests individuals do some introspection about their lifestyle and eating habits: do you actually need to go on a diet or just switch up some eating habits?

“For a general population, I don’t think that [these diets] are necessary. Other ones like some extremely restricted calorie diets are not safe to do, unless you are approved by a dietician or by a healthcare provider,” Hughes said. “Anybody can be a nutritionist, but you actually have to go through a lot in order to become a registered dietician. I would also say stay far, far away from the Instagram accounts.”

STUDENT VETERAN CENTER PROVIDES COMMUNITY ON CAMPUS

“ e transition from military to civilian life is like walking through the door of your childhood room and realizing that it isn’t yours anymore. e only way to acclimate into normalcy after serving is finding a community.”

After serving in the United States Marines, University of Oregon graduate Trenton Goodman wasn’t quite sure where he fit in. He decided to enroll in classes at Illinois Central College, where he found a home among the small class sizes and large

Everyone wanted to learn.

After Goodman transferred to UO in 2016, he struggled to find that same sense of community on the much larger campus. He felt less connected to both his peers and professors.

“As much as I loved my experience

in college, it took a massive effort for folks to even know that we existed on campus,” Goodman said.

However, UO’s Student Veterans Center wants to make sure people like Goodman don’t slip through the cracks on a campus of over 20,000 students. e center’s office is located in EMU 015, and it helps to create a sense of community among veterans by hosting lunches, events and leading a program for students transitioning onto campus called PAVE. Israel Garcia, both a student and

a veteran, co-leads Peer Advisors for Veteran Education at the student veterans center, where he pairs up military students who have been on campus for a while with new students to help them become familiar with UO and the resources available to nontraditional students and veterans.

“I wanted to join to stay in touch with the veteran community,” he said.

“We’re taking veterans that have just come in, and we sign them up for two years and help them transition here to UO.”

Kara Reghenzani, a senior at Garcia served in the Army for UO, panicked about how she was over 22 years. He’s been stationed going to find a place to live with in Korea and did a tour in Iraq. “I her bulldog Knuckles before the was a sergeant major — 1% of the veterans center set her up in a military make that — and I really house that’s usually reserved for thought I was going to have an graduate students. easy time and find this magic job Before becoming a UO student, and make great money [when I got Reghenzani served in the army as a out] and it didn’t happen.” parachute rigger.

OPINION

TRENDY ENVIRONMENTALISM LACKS TANGIBLE SOLUTIONS

BY KIRA OLIVER

Connie Peabody stands on a street corner by the Federal Courthouse in Eugene, Ore. and waves a planet Earth flag as people cross the street and head in to the rally. (Sarah Northrop/Emerald)

Capitalism spins the environmental movement to achieve its own interests through clicks and sales of new products. When a video of a sea turtle with a plastic straw up its nose went viral, cities banned plastic straws, which prompted people to purchase an alternative, made from steel or silicone. is shows the powerful reactionary tendencies among progressive cities and their results in a culture of consumerism.

Old products become socially unacceptable so people buy the new, cool thing that also happens to be better for the environment. But is it that much better? We need to shift the focus away from trendy, environmentally-friendly consumer goods. Instead, we should look at our daily habits that take a toll on the environment and investigate creative, bold solutions such as the Green New Deal.

I live 500 miles from home. At the end of the school year, I could spend hundreds of dollars on a plane ticket, or I could carpool with someone from the University of Oregon Ride Share Facebook Page.

Carpooling comes with the opportunity to meet a new person or two, save money and reduce carbon emissions that come from flying hundreds of miles. is solution is not glamorous, but it significantly reduces my impact on the environment and increases affordability.

In my article, “Gen Z freshmen care about PA G E 1 2

sustainability,” I discovered that freshmen on campus are very aware of climate change and have taken action as a result. Many of these changes were prompted by trends that required them to buy something new in order to “solve the problem;” however, this feeds our culture of consumerism.

Wealthy people can buy locally made hemp clothes, walk to their neighborhood natural grocery store and only eat grass-fed beef — but are those actions significantly minimizing their impact on the environment? Or are they just buying into the same capitalist systems that created this problem in the first place?

Maria Csutoria, who conducted research in Budapest, Hungary, found that consumers offset the impact of their environmental behavior by consuming more. Csutoria argues that any radical change will require a change in lifestyle.

Doing something to help the environment is better than doing nothing; however, it is important to be conscious of how much consuming you are doing as a result of the sustainability movement. In order to progress, we need to be thinking bigger and bolder with resolution proposals like the Green New Deal that serve as a framework to combat climate change and social injustice embedded in our systems.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a congresswoman from New York’s 14th District, is a co-sponsor of

the Green New Deal resolution proposal which is not a law but a guideline to slow climate change if it were to pass. It addresses the climate crisis with a holistic approach — an overhaul of the American way of life. e Green New Deal proposes building a smart grid which will expand access to electricity and overhaul the American transportation system through investing in zero-emission infrastructure, according to CNN. An October 2019 report on climate change released by the International Monetary Fund revealed that a global agreement taxing fossil fuels would be the most efficient way to fight climate change. e IMF found that a global tax of $75 per ton by the year 2030 could limit the planet’s warming to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whatever you are doing to help reverse climate change is valuable, big or small. But without mass mobilization and activism, no substantial change will be made. Attend a town hall meeting to let your representatives know that you are paying attention and care about environmental legislation.

Investigate candidates to make sure that they will represent your wishes and not those of the fossil fuel industry. Lastly, talk to your family, friends and neighbors about climate change, because it impacts everyone and everyone needs to contribute to combating it.

OREGON’S OFFENSE

FINALLY HITS ITS STRIDE IN 45-3 WIN OVER COLORADO

BY NOAH NOTEBOOM • TWITTER @NOAH_BOOM23

Ducks tight end Jacob Breeland (11) scores the first touchdown of the game. (Kimberly Harris/Emerald)

Facing a first-and-goal at the Oregon 1-yard line, Colorado was 3 feet away from making Friday night’s game a one score contest. After a false start and holding penalty, Buffalo quarterback Steven Montez proceeded to force a pass that was tipped and intercepted by Oregon’s Verone McKinley III. is proved to be a turning point after the Ducks marched down the field and added seven more points after Jaylon Redd punched in a 1-yard score to make the score 24-3.

“I just felt like I couldn’t be denied,” Redd said.

After that, it was all Oregon.

A finally complete and, for the most part, healthy receiving corps showed up in dominating fashion.

After an injury to one of Justin Herbert’s favorite targets, tight end Jacob Breeland, receivers Juwan Johnson, Mycah Pittman and Redd were forced to carry the load for Oregon. Redd made the most of the opportunity scoring three times for the Ducks, marking Redd’s fifth straight game with scoring a touchdown.

Although the passing game has been effective all season, the running game was a sore-spot the Ducks

aimed to perfect during practice this past week.

“Just being on the same page [with the offensive line],” said Cyrus Habibi-Likio, who had three touchdowns of his own. “It felt nice to have high numbers, and the run game was a big focus for us this week.”

With 252 rushing yards, the Ducks offensive line and backfield showed that they are a force to be reckoned with. Namely CJ Verdell, who needed just two and a half quarters to reach 100 yards rushing, ending the game with a season-high 171 rushing yards. After two fumbles last week, Travis Dye did not receive a carry until late in the fourth quarter.

“It’s Cyrus turn,” head coach Mario Cristobal said.

“He’s earned it. And he’s made the most of it.”

Meanwhile, the defense was, once again, in top form. Oregon’s defense forced Montez into a world of hurt as he finished with a lowly 131 yards and career-high four interceptions. Colorado is the most explosive offense Oregon has faced this season. And the Ducks knew it.

Prepping for Laviska Shenault Jr. and the rest of Colorado’s offense was something the Oregon

secondary looked forward to. eir preparation paid off. e projected top-10 draft pick struggled to expose the Oregon secondary, finishing with just four catches.

Friday night was the first time Shenault Jr. took the field since leaving Colorado’s game against Arizona State with an undisclosed injury almost three weeks ago.

Injuries also plagued the Oregon defense. During the second quarter, linebacker Troy Dye and safety Jevon Holland collided and both had to be helped off the field. Neither returned to the game, and Holland was spotted in a walking boot on his left foot.

Breeland, who is having a sensational senior season, will be assessed further after an injury to his lower leg late in the first quarter. He spent the entire second half on crutches.

Oregon has over a week to recover and adjust its game plan before they head to Seattle and take on the Washington Huskies in what will likely be a conference champion-deciding game.

OREGON SOCCER BLOWN OUT AT HOME BY NO. 2 STANFORD

BY NOAH NOTEBOOM • TWITTER @NOAH_BOOM23 Oregon women’s soccer suffered its biggest loss of the season on Sunday, falling 5-0 to the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal in Eugene at Papé Field.

Pressure by Stanford, mixed with sloppy passing, resulted in very little action on the attacking half of the field for the Ducks. e Ducks recorded their first shot when the ball dropped to Zoe Hasenauer’s feet and she blasted a shot just wide of the left post. Despite the miss, the crowd of 757 responded with a round of applause and a heightened sense of optimism set in for the underdog Ducks.

Stanford created a shooting opportunity on a through ball, but Oregon goalkeeper Katelyn Carter made the save. e senior saved four shots on the day. e defense back line was caught off guard and failed to clear the ball before Stanford applied pressure. A penalty was awarded on the play when a Ducks defender handled the ball. Stanford’s top scorer, Catarina Macario, slotted the penalty away to put the Cardinal up 1-0.

Shortly after the 41st minute, Stanford struck again as forward Sophia Smith curled a shot past

Carter.

At halftime, the Ducks went into the locker room chasing a two-goal deficit.

“I thought the first half was good until the PK,” Oregon head coach Kat Mertz said. e struggles continued in the second half as Oregon couldn’t keep consistent possession and was constantly forced to defend its half.

After the third goal, the Ducks began to lose their confidence. It took Oregon more than 85 minutes to register a shot on target. e contrast in shots on goal was an area of concern: 28 shots for Stanford while Oregon managed just six. “ ey might still be reeling from the ursday result,” Mertz said, defending her team’s effort.

Stanford striker Macario bagged two goals and added to her season total of 18. Macario — the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week — extended her goalscoring streak to six consecutive games.

Second to last in the Pac-12, Oregon has less than a week to regroup and prepare for Washington State on Saturday.

Ducks midfielder Zoe Hasenauer (17) leads the ball away from a Golden Bear.
