WOU signs recruits to football program on National Signing Day By Jamal Smith | Sports Editor On Wednesday, Feb. 3, Western Oregon University’shead football coach Arne Ferguson announced 28 high school football players signed their letters of intent to join the team in the fall. Out of the 28 new recruits, 16 are from Oregon and 5 are from Washington. The 2016 recruiting class also has highly touted high school players from Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Idaho. “We are very happy with the kids that have committed to Western Oregon,” said Ferguson. “Our coaches put in the time and did a really good job recruiting players that will give us an opportunity to compete against the best teams in Division-II.” At the Wolves’ National Signing Day event on Wednesday at Crush Wine Bar and Tasting Room, Ferguson talked about what traits and characteristics the coaching staff looks for in recruits. “First of all, we look for a good student that’s motivated and driven,” said Ferguson. “Western Oregon does a good job recruiting student athletes who will work hard, learn, and get an education.”

From living in California to being a new kid in Portland, Poison Waters is fabulous and funny! She has been doing drag for almost thirty years and is as popular and vivacious as ever. Poison Waters, according to her website, has had experience working with the Women’s Inter-community AIDS Resource and currently acts as camp director at a summer camp for kids who are infected or affect by HIV/AIDS. Full of jokes and wisdom, she told it like it is. At the Out and Proud dinner on Jan. 3, Waters told the gathered crowd all about her early life as a quarter Mexican, a quarter Native American, and half black, gay boy. As the keynote speaker for the dinner, she shared her experiences with the audience. When she moved to Portland this was the blackest city she has ever lived in. She mentioned how much she enjoyed being surrounded by people of color at the dinner, saying she was excited not to be “the raisin in the rice patch.” She came from a very supportive, diverse family and spoke on how lucky and happy she was to be in that situation. Yet, she knew she was “odd” for a long time and her mother and sister did to by telling her “you know you gay, right?” She shared worries that many people face, saying she felt like an alien waiting for the mother ship to come pick her back up. Feeling different and out of place, even when supported by family, is difficult, especially as a young person part of the LGBT*Q+ community.

UNIVERSITY AND UNION CONTINUE NEGOTIATIONS Administration proposes new offer, WOUFT still not satisfied By Alvin Wilson | Staff Writer Western Oregon University Federation of Teachers (WOUFT) was offered a chance to finally get what they’ve been asking for: a 10 percent pay increase for non-tenure-track (NTT) faculty over the biennium. But after examining President Rex Fuller’s letter to staff and students, Dr. Mark Perlman, philosophy professor and President of WOUFT, was left unsatisfied.
“His letter makes it sound like he’s being Santa Claus with big fat raises and I think it’s awfully dishonest for him to make it seem like that,” said Perlman. “But what he didn’t put in the letter that he sent to everybody, including all of the students, was what they cut to do that.” Fuller’s letter included information about the national averages for raises among university staff. According to Inside Higher Ed’s website, average annual raises nationwide in 2014-15 ranged from 1.0 to 2.4 percent. In comparison, WOU’s proposed salary increases range from seven to 15 percent. “Of course seven to 15 percent looks like a lot, and if we were already at the average salary we would be happy

to get the average raise nationwide,” said Perlman. “But we’re so far below the average that even if we agree to this package we’ll still be significantly behind.” In earlier negotiations both parties agreed that the cost of raising NTT staff salaries by 10 percent would be $210,000. It was recently discovered, however, that the actual cost would be $126,000. How the university was able to reduce the cost by 40 percent is still unknown to WOUFT, according to Perlman. To pay for the $126,000, the university’s proposal would reduce summer term pay for instructors and reduce course reassignments, which give professors a

By Jenna Beresheim | News Editor In May 2015, the first Zika virus infection in Brazil was confirmed, and since has spread to most of South America and Mexico. Before this confirmation, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported that the Zika virus was commonly found in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. The Zika virus is spread through mosquito bites and leads to symptoms such as fevers, joint pains, rashes, and red eyes. Due to the transmissible nature of this virus the CDC has issued a Level 2 travel alert for individuals traveling to countries that may contain the virus. A Level 2 travel alert encourages travelers to practice enhanced precautions and understand the risks of traveling to certain countries for various reasons. The virus will typically pass from an individual’s blood within a few days and rarely results in death or hospitalization. There is currently no vaccine for the Zika virus and those infected are urged to prevent further mosquito bites to spread the virus, as well as to rest and remain hydrated until it passes. The virus remains contagious in the bloodstream for up to a week. Pregnant mothers that become infected with the virus risk their infant being born with a severe birth defect known as microcephaly. This defect results in a much smaller head than an average infant’s, often affecting the brain as a result. Women who are currently pregnant or hoping to become pregnant soon are encouraged to stay out of areas with known cases of the Zika virus. National Public Radio (NPR) reports that Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Jamaica have advised that women hold off on getting pregnant. El Salvador went as far as to urge wom-

en to hold back on having children until 2018. Salvadoran law currently prohibits and criminalizes all abortion, on any grounds. However, the stance may be shifting in light of the Zika virus affecting newborns. This may lead to more mothers finding their own methods of abortion, with the risk of serving time if caught. “[The result would be] more clandestine abortions and a higher number of women being sent to jail,” predicts Angela Rivas, a Salvadoran abortion rights activist as reported by NPR. Individuals are encouraged to wear long sleeves and pants as well as to stay in places that are air-conditioned and prepared to keep mosquitos out with screened windows and doors. Apply sunscreen before applying insect repellant and never spray repellant directly onto the skin beneath clothing. If travelling to countries with known cases of Zika virus, invest in mosquito netting for sleeping areas.
The World Health Organization (WHO) held an emergency meeting on Monday, Feb. 1 to discuss what needs to be done to combat the virus that is rapidly spreading through the Americas. “The people in these countries deserve the protection of the international community and the World Health Organization,” stated Lawrence Gostin, director of Georgetown’s O’Neill Institute, in a JAMA editorial. According to Sylvain Aldighieri of the Pan American Health Organization with USA Today, the Americas could see three to four million infections a year. “WHO officials want to make sure that nations don’t take inappropriate steps to limit travel or trade because of the virus,” stated Bruce Aylward, assistant director-general of the WHO. “During the Ebola outbreak, many countries closed their borders, which harmed the fragile economies of West Africa.”
10,000 year old mammoth unearthed beneath OSU By Brianna Bonham | Photo Editor The bones of a 10,000 year-old mammoth were unearthed early last week while doing renovations on Oregon State University’s (OSU) Reser Stadium. Crews found the remains of the mammoth and other mammals in the end zone of the stadium. The crews found the bones of a bison and a camel, along with the femur of the mammoth. After finding the bones, OSU spokesman Steve Clark said, “Our archaeologist believes this could have been the location of a pond, a watering hole for these animals, or a place they came to die.” According to Oregon History Project created by the Oregon Historical Society, the discovery of mammoth bones is not uncommon in Oregon where mammoths and mastodons roamed.

Union negotiations: From Front Page small break to do research. “If you have a research project, you can apply for one of these course reassignments and get one course off on your teaching load to do that research,” Perlman said. “10 years ago we fought to get those things in the contract, and [Fuller] wants to eliminate them — or at least the ones that cost money.” The proposal would have reduced the summer term pay for professors from 20 percent of their normal salary to 19 percent. “If we were getting, per credit, the same amount we get for the normal academic year, it should be 25 percent,” Perlman said. “So, it’s already only 20 percent and he wants to cut it.” Another reason WOUFT didn’t accept the proposal is that they didn’t have enough time to meet and discuss it. The offer came with a deadline, which Perlman said wasn’t long enough. “I’ve been bargaining since ‘98, and nobody’s ever given us expiration dates,” said Perlman. “They say on Wednesday, ‘We want our answer on Monday.’ Well, we didn’t have time to have the team meet.” Perlman believes that the university can pay for the $126,000 if they account for sabbatical, retirement, and healthcare cost reductions. “If you go on sabbatical you get paid less than your normal pay,” Perlman said. “Personally, I’m on sabbatical for the next three springs, and I get paid 60 percent of my normal pay. They’re saving over $5,000 on me this spring, and over $5,000 on me next year. So that
$210,000 didn’t include the fact that for me, personally, they’re saving $10,000.” “There’s also the issue of what they call Other Personnel Expenses, or OPE, which is things like taxes and healthcare payments,” continued Perlman. According to Perlman, the most expensive health plan is PEBB Statewide, Kaiser Permanente is less expensive, and there are even cheaper options than that. “If I pick the cheap plan, then [the university] will save money,” Perlman said. “So, we said, ‘How many people are picking the least expensive plan, and how much money are you saving?’ They won’t say.” Perlman said that with retirements, sabbaticals, and healthcare savings, among various other savings, there should be enough to cover the cost of raising NTT staff salaries by 10 percent. They already found an extra $84,000 in the budget and Perlman thinks there’s more. “Our numbers guys have done the calculations on this, and we think that there’s a lot more than they’re saying,” Perlman explained. “We think, if they do the math a little more robustly, they will find that there’s way more than the $84,000.” Before WOUFT agrees to any proposals, Perlman said they want to know exactly how much the university will save when retirements, sabbaticals, and healthcare savings are accounted for. “They promised us that information and haven’t given it to us,” he said. “Every day that they stall, the faculty [is] more angry that we’re not finished.” Union supporters take part in the rally on Jan. 27
Sophomore completes physics 211 course, says “Earth is flat” Confirms rapper B.o.B.’s theory By Katrina Penaflor | Managing Editor Debates are all the rage these days. I mean, look at all that stuff going on with politics. But the latest one that has the peoples’ attention, or at least whoever checked in on what B.O.B was tweeting on Jan. 24, is whether the earth is round or flat. A WOU sophomore, who wishes to remain anonymous due to fear of immediate fame, spoke about the science behind this fiasco. I felt he would be an accurate source since he was carrying a leather briefcase in the science building and claimed to have watched every episode of “Planet Earth” on Netflix. “Yes, I believe the earth is flat, just like B.o.B. does.

Revenge is a dish best served cold Wolves defeat CWU 86-65 to improve to 18-2 By Jamal Smith | Sports Editor As the men’s basketball team entered their home game on Saturday, Jan. 30 against Central Washington University (CWU), the New Year’s Eve loss to the Wildcats stuck in the back of their minds. The Wildcats would later find out that revenge is a dish best served cold as the Wolves went on to defeat CWU 85-68. Redshirt senior Andy Avgi (F), who last week earned his third GNAC Player of the Week honor of the 2015-16 season, had a game-high of 27 points. Avgi filled up the stat sheet with seven rebounds, four assists, and four steals. Four other Wolves hit the double-digit mark in scoring: senior Devon Alexander (G) had 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the floor, while Senior Julian Nichols (G), senior Jordan
Wiley (G) and redshirt-sophomore Alex Roth (G) each had 10 points. CWU came out firing on all cylinders after the opening tip, and had an 8-2 advantage early in the first half. Western weathered the storm and closed in on the Wildcats lead by shooting high percentage shots in the paint. Alexander evened the score at 22-22 with a layup and would hit a free throw to give the Wolves a one-point advantage. Western would finish the half up 38-29, their largest lead of the first half. The momentum from the first half carried over into final period and the Wolves continued to build on their lead with hot shooting from Avgi and great team ball. With 9:12 remaining in the game, the Wolves increased their lead to 71-46 on an Alexander three-pointer. The lead proved to be too large for the Wildcats to come back from and the Wolves cruised to victory. In the second half, the Wolves shot a blistering 0.643 percent from the floor including
going 4-of-8 from beyond the arch. Western held CWU to a field goal percentage of 0.356 from the floor and 0.308 from distance. The Wolves shot 0.579 (33-of-57) from the floor, finishing the game with their best shooting percentage of the year. Equally impressive was the fact that the Wolves only coughed up five turnovers in the game, with four coming in the first half and only one in the final 20 minutes of the game. The redemption victory improves Western’s overall record to 18-2 and 11-1 in GNAC conference play. With eight games remaining on their schedule, the Wolves find themselves in a very good position to make the College Basketball Division II playoffs. Up next the Wolves hit the road to face Seattle Pacific University on Saturday, Feb. 6. The next home game is on Thursday, Feb. 11 against the Western Washington Vikings in the New P.E. Building.

Before the start of the 2015-16 NBA season, most sports analysts thought that the Portland Trailblazers had no chance of making the playoffs. The Blazers dismantled last year’s team who had the talent to compete for a NBA Championship and decided to rebuild. The heart and soul of last year’s team, LaMarcus Aldridge, decided to part ways with the organization in the offseason and sign with the San Antonio Spurs in his home state of Texas. As soon as it became clear that Aldridge was gone, Blazer’s general manager, Neil Olshey, cleared the deck with the team’s high paid veterans Nicolas Batum, Westley Mathews, and Robin Lopez. After the massive turnover in free agency, the Blazers were left with their starting point guard, two-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard, and a bunch of young unproven players with high potential. So, almost everyone, including myself, expected the Blazers to be in the hunt for a coveted ping-pong ball: a lottery pick in the upcoming draft. But now, the Trailblazers find themselves in a very precarious situation: with a record of 24-26, the Blazers are currently the eighth seed in the Western Conference and would make the playoffs if the season ended today. I believe that making the playoffs would be disastrous for the organization, and I think it would be best to tank the rest of the season. Yes, I am suggesting that dirty t-word. Of course, coaches and players do not want to tank, but rather the decision is made by the front office. Loosing for players threatens millions of dollars if players are set to sign new contracts, and for coaches, a losing season can be a quick ticket to the unemployment line. Tanking in today’s NBA landscape is common. Smaller market teams, like Portland, have a real problem getting high profile free agents to sign contracts in the offseason. That means the only way for smaller market teams to get talented players is through trades or through the draft. If Portland does end up making the playoffs in the eighth seed, they would most likely be playing the Golden State Warriors (44-4) in the first round of a seven-game playoff series. So, could the Blazers somehow pull off the biggest upset in NBA history? No. There’s a better chance of hell freezing over. Looking at the rest of the Western Conference I find it highly improbable that the Blazers could come out victorious against any of the teams ahead of them in the standings, with the exception of Houston (No. 7) or Dallas (No. 6). As a longtime Blazers fanatic I am sick and tired of my team making the playoffs only to be eliminated in the first round. Sacrificing the rest of the season would give the Blazer’s the best chance in improving their talent for the future by building through the draft. That’s how Portland got Aldridge, Lillard, Greg “Glass Bones” Oden, and Brandon Roy. With more than half the season in the books, the Blazers have surpassed most sports analyzers’ expectations and my own. The players and coaches should be proud, but the Blazers front office should make the decision to pull the plug on the season. In an offseason press conference, Olshey said that he and Paul Allen, the Trailblazers owner, were not worried about the next five minutes, but rather the next five years. If that’s truly the case then tanking is their best option.

National Signing Day: From Front Page “The second thing is that we are obligated to make sure that they will be successful in Division II football, and that’s not easy,” added Ferguson. “We want [the recruits] to be successful and we want them to be on the football field because we know that they all work very hard for the opportunity.” “The last thing we look for is their leadership, being in a winning program and knowing the little things that matter in order to contribute to the team,” said Ferguson. With the recent success of the program, Western Oregon has created a winning culture. “We have had ten winning seasons in a row and we have been second in about eight of those, so we are looking for those extra couple inches to push us over the edge,” said Ferguson.

Wolves fall short in crunch time Wolves fall to Simon Frasier 66-59 By Jamal Smith | Sports Editor The women’s basketball team stormed north of the border to Burnaby, B.C., to face Simon Frasier University (SFU), on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2016. After a highly contested battle, the Wolves fell short in the fourth quarter and were defeated 6659. Redshirt junior Kelsey Henry (F) led the Wolves in scoring coming off the bench with 8 points. Senior Emily Howey (C), freshman Kaylie Boschma (G) and freshman Ali Nelke (G/F) each tallied 7 points. SFU jumped out to an early lead but a Howey layup gave the Wolves their first lead of the game at 6-5. The first quarter went back-and-forth with four lead changes and the Wolves found them-

selves up 18-17 at the end of the first quarter. At the 7:24 mark of the second quarter, the Wolves got their largest lead of the night on a layup by sophomore guard Sydney Azorr; however, the Clan went on an 11 point unanswered run to take a 30-26 lead with just over four minutes remaining in the half. The Wolves buckled down on defense and Nelke was unstoppable, hitting three consecutive buckets to give the Western a
32-30 lead going into half time. The Clan pulled away from the Wolves late in the third quarter by shooting the deep ball, getting to the free throw line, and converting their free throws. Western came within three points of the lead halfway through the fourth quarter but that was the closest they would get. WOU finished the game shooting 0.391 percent from the floor (18-of-46) and went 2-of-14 from long range. The Wolves out rebounded the Clan 37-25.

Panel colors campus in rainbows Wear red ”Intersectionality“ of race within queer community discussed By Rachael Jackson | Staff Writer The Triangle Alliance and Multicultural Student Union hosted a panel discussion on the experiences of being queer persons of color. The five-person panel consisted of those of Japanese, Latino, and African American backgrounds. Natasha/Nathan Mireles, a junior biology major, seemed excited for the panel to begin.
“I am eager to know about the intersectionality of lives of people who are persons of color and who are also queer,” Mireles said. “For me, I don’t identify as a person of color and I want to know how their experience differs from mine.” Intersectionality is an identity that lies within another identity. For example, a woman might identify as bisexual but also as Chinese-American. The panelists were asked questions varying from issues coming out to parents, dealing with ideals set by the media, and finding a balance between the many intersections of identities.
Ty Lewis, an ASL interpreting major and senior, described how he feels about his own intersectionality. “If I waltz into a classroom, and I’m white presenting, my queer identity takes over,” said Lewis. “I do feel like I present one part of myself depending on the place.” If you’re interested in exploring this topic or others within the LGBTQ+ community, stop by Ackerman 141 for a Triangle Alliance meeting on Tuesdays from 4 to 5 p.m.

“Lobby Hero” Murder, strained loyalty, elusive truths and costly justice By Joleen Braasch | Staff Writer If you’re looking for a fun weekend full of drama in all the right ways, head over to Rice Auditorium tonight, Feb. 5, or Saturday, Feb. 6, at 7 p.m. to see Kenneth Lonergan’s play, “Lobby Hero.” Follow young security guard, Jeff, as he gets himself wrapped up in murder, strained loyalty, elusive truths and costly justice. Graduate student Natalie Piper, who is currently in the MAT program working
toward a license in high school theatre, chose to direct “Lobby Hero” because she feels that it addresses race and gender issues present in today’s society. Piper also chose “Lobby Hero” because she wanted to provide opportunities for student-actors who are working in the genre of contemporary realism, a straightforward and realistic approach to art. The art of theatre calls for many important artistic roles: actors, directors, and stagehands, to name a few.
Piper’s favorite role is directing; she loves seeing everyone and everything work together in order to create her vision and bring it to life. And, unlike the actors, she gets to sit in the audience and watch people react. Are you interested in murder, justice, and Piper’s vision? Visit Rice Auditorium at least a half-hour before the show begins to pick up your ticket. WOU students pay $7 for admission.

Heart health isn’t exactly something many college students have on their minds. However, after a proclamation made by President Obama last year declaring February to be named American Heart Month, it became clear that is an issue that affects all American students. The American Heart Association (AHA) warns that 98.9 million Americans aged 20 and older have total blood cholesterol levels over 200. A cholesterol level over 200 can be indicative of cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and congestive heart failure. Presently, heart disease is the number one killer in America. It’s important to start young with heart disease tests - the AHA recommends starting at age 20 and continuing every five years. Because of genetic factors, even with a healthy diet and exercise regimen, a person can still be at risk. ASL interpreting major and junior, Crystal King, said that taking fitness classes at the school has shown her the importance of eating right and consistent physical activity. “I think being educated in cardiovascular disease as a college student makes me think more about it,” said King. “I don’t worry about getting a heart attack now, but I know it could happen in the future.” The first Friday of February is known as National Wear Red Day, so if you see someone on campus wearing red they might just be supporting this cause. If you are looking for more information, stop by the Student Health & Counseling Center to meet a physician or give them a call at 503838-8313 to set up an appointment for cholesterol testing.

The Art of Piercing WOU students show personal style through body mods By Megan Clark | Campus Life Editor
ABOVE: Senior math major Roz Lethe shows off her septum, nostril, lobe and cartilage piercings.
Body modifications, such as piercings and tattoos, are becoming increasingly popular as a way to further explore personal style. Body piercing is an ancient art that has been around for a long time. According to The Human Touch of Chemistry’s website, nostril piercing has been documented as first occurring in the Middle East around 4,000 years ago. Piercings have been used to signify sociopolitical status; in Rome, septum piercings symbolized a gladiator’s strength, while in Egypt, a belly button piercing signified godliness and was often worn by pharaohs. In parts of Malawi and Ethiopia, women often wear discs in their lips that may act as a sign of social or economic importance in the tribe. Their lips are initially pierced with a small wooden peg in their teenage years, but they increase the size of the jewelry throughout their lives, the hand crafted clay discs used reach up to nearly eight inches in diameter. This process of increasing the size of a piercing is called stretching or gauging and should be done slowly and carefully in order to not tear the skin. While it’s not common to see people walking around with piercings as large as those worn by the Malawi and Ethiopian women, more unusual piercings, such as the septum and the philtrum (the dimple that sits above the cupid’s bow on the upper lip) are becoming more popular. Now nearly every part of the body can
be pierced or implanted with something called a “micro-dermal” or “dermal.” While piercing involves taking a sterilized needle and inserting it through skin or cartilage, a micro-dermal involves cutting a tiny hole into the surface of the skin. This makes room for an anchor that goes below the skin and looks similar to a tiny screw with a flat base. The screwend sticks out of the hole so that different heads (gems, studs, etc.) can be screwed on. Dermals, however, have a high rejection rate and can easily get infected or ripped out since they are on the surface of the body. You should be careful with most piercings, as getting infections or getting them caught on things is a very real worry. Proper care should be taken, even after the piercing has healed. The tiniest snag could result in an infection if not well-taken care of. While piercings may hurt and could get infected, certain piercings have been thought to have medical benefits. When the nostril piercing came to India in the 16th century it was believed that it would act as a form of acupuncture and aid in childbirth. Recently, certain ear piercings called the “daith” and “tragus” have been believed to alleviate migraines, though little scientific research has been done to support this. While these piercings may or may not have any health benefit, they have the added benefit of contributing to self-expression and personal style. From choosing silver over gold to adorning with glittering jewels, piercings offer another jewelry choice that could add some sparkle to someone’s life.

However, Waters noted that, as she has gotten older, much the world has changed for the better with regards to the LGBT*Q+ community as well as People of Color (POC). She was so pleased to see that young folks don’t need to go through what she saw back in her day. Her “intersectionality” was a popular topic of discussion for Waters. She first was inspired to become a drag queen and the crazy diversity of the gay community when her drag mother, Rosie Waters, inspired her to become her true, fabulous self. She seems to have a joke for every occasion and never missed an opportunity to tell one. Even still she had moments of seriousness and during the show and gave valuable advice for young POC, Queer people, and drag queens.

Oscars bring controversy Lack of diversity in nominees spreads unrest By Ashton Newton | Staff Writer Each year, all kinds of movies are watched and talked about, but there is no bigger honor in cinema than winning an Oscar. On Feb. 28, actors, directors, editors, and all manner of moviemakers from all over the world will come together in red carpet fashion for the 88th annual Academy Awards. Still weeks away, The Oscars have been huge in the news with speculations and controversies, as well as the annual Internet memes about Leonardo Dicaprio wanting nothing but to win an Oscar. This year, the nominees for best picture are “Spotlight,” “The Martian,” “The Big Short,” “Bridge of Spies,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Room,” “The Revenant,” and “Brooklyn.” Each of these movies, in its own way, brought something new and unique to theaters. Last year, best picture went to Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Birdman,” which also won three other awards. Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel” took home four awards. All the actors nominated for Best Actor are pretty big names. The list includes Eddie Redmayne (“The Danish Girl”), Michael Fassbender (“Steve Jobs”), Bryan Cranston (“Trumbo”), Matt Damon (“The Martian”), and Leonardo Dicaprio (“The Revenant”). As for Best Actress, the list includes Brie Larson (“The Room”), Charlotte Rampling (“45 Years”), Cate Blanchett (“Carol”), Saoirse Ronan (“Brooklyn”), and Jennifer Lawrence (“Joy”).

The controversies started when the managing editor of BroadwayBlack.com, April Reign, pointed out that for the second year in a row, all 20 nominated main and supporting actors and actresses were white. She took to Twitter, getting the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite trending. Some individuals like Spike Lee, Will Smith, and Michael Moore have taken to boycotting 2016’s Oscars for the lack of diversity, while others like George Clooney, Reese Witherspoon, and Don Cheadle have been outspoken with their negative views toward the lack of diversity. Even President Obama has commented on the controversy, supporting the outcry. Those who have attempted to downplay the controversy received a lot of criticism, including Charlotte Rampling and Michael Caine. Although people have urged him to boycott, Chris Rock will still be hosting the Oscars. Rock has said that

Radiohead fans have gone berserk If you think this is over, then you’re wrong By Darien Campo | Staff Writer Radiohead announced the release of their first album as an unsigned band, “In Rainbows,” on September 30, 2007. Guitarist Johnny Greenwood made the announcement in a one sentence blog
post with no prior build-up: “Well, the new album is finished, and it’s coming out in 10 days [...] We’ve called it ‘In Rainbows’.” Four years later on Feb. 14, 2011, Radiohead announced they would be releasing their eighth studio album, “The King of Limbs,” in only five days – again, with no previous mention of an album. To everyone’s surprise, the album actual-
he is preparing a sketch that shines light on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy. There is also a large line up of African American presenters, including Whoopi Goldberg, Kevin Hart, and Kerry Washington. The Academy also unanimously voted to double female and minority voters by the year 2020. This will change the current makeup which is 90% Caucasian and 77% male. Controversies aside, there are some incredible films nominated this year, a ton of big name stars, and Chris Rock’s jokes. The 2016 Oscars are shaping up to be highly memorable. The Oscars will be held on Feb. 28 in Hollywood, California, but you can view it from the comfort of your own home on ABC at 4 p.m.
ly released a day early. It’s been almost five years since their last release and Radiohead fans are beginning to feel the rumblings of a new LP on the horizon. In 2005 Radiohead ended their contract with EMI in order to pursue a modern method of exchanging music between the band and their followers. “I like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one,” said Thom Yorke, lead singer. Radiohead is the world’s most popular band to go without a label, which has led to some pretty unorthodox and “Surprise!” album releases. If you have ever spent time talking with a Radiohead fan, you pick up just how rabid and obsessive they can be. If you let them, they will go on for hours about how two albums recorded a decade apart are actually written to be played together in a certain order. Although we sound insane, we’re completely justified in our obsession. Radiohead feeds their fans with cryptic messages and mysterious photos knowing that we’ll pick them apart for clues. Never before have I seen a band that can so successfully manufacture fanatical hype for their music without dropping a dime on marketing.
WOU.EDU/WESTERNJOURNAL
These last few months alone have been an incredible testament to the perseverance of the Radiohead fandom. Anyone curious enough to follow the “r/radiohead” sub-Reddit can watch the detective work unfold daily. Fans have programs set to alert them to every slight change in code on WASTE and Dead Air Space, the two parts of Radiohead’s website. (Is the album being secretly uploaded where we can’t see it?) Fans collectively lost their minds the other week when a Soundcloud glitch revealed that the band had privately uploaded a track that no one could listen to yet. (A new single, set to release any minute?) Anything posted online by band members is picked apart and scrubbed through as fans struggle to find any clue to the release of Radiohead’s ninth studio album – which they’ve collectively dubbed “LP9.” The best part of riding the “Radiohead Hype Train 2016 (CHOO CHOO)” is knowing that the music we get will be completely worth the wait. And although we have to fight for every detail and go for years at a time with no encouragement or clues, I know that not a single one of us would have it any other way.

Pokémon: catching ‘em all for 20 years

Pokémon celebrates two decades of electric mouse acquisition with Super Bowl ad By Declan Hertel | Entertainment Editor When it comes to my generation, I prefer the moniker “’90s Kids” to “Mille-
nials” because at least the derision “’90s Kids” carries is self-inflicted. And “’90s Kids” are now reaching that age where they’re realizing that the things they love are aging with them, and not too long ago, a beloved franchise had an early release of their anniversary Super Bowl ad: kids, Pokémon just turned 20. For those of you just emerging from
that cave and joining the surface dwellers, Pokémon are fantastic creatures that inhabit far off lands, and certain humans that live in those lands, Pokémon Trainers, capture them, befriend them, and pit their team of Pokémon against the teams of their rivals in Pokémon battles.

The Schwartz Awakens with “Spaceballs 2” Beloved “Star Wars” parody gets sequel almost 30 years later By Ashton Newton | Staff Writer It doesn’t take much to notice that, right now, Star Wars is on fire. The franchise has had an extremely successful past six months and shows no signs of slowing down. Right now is the perfect time for Mel Brook’s “Spaceballs” sequel, “Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.” The sequel was first officially mentioned when the original film came out in 1987 as a joke, but Brooks has recently confirmed on “The Nerdist” podcast; yes, it’s happening. Brooks wants to bring back as much of the original cast as possible. Unfortunately Joan Rivers, Dick Van Patten, and John Candy have all passed away. Brooks said in a 2014 interview that he would never do a “Spaceballs” sequel without Rick Moranis. Moranis hasn’t been active since 1997 and has yet to comment on
the rumors. Moranis recently turned down a cameo in the “Ghostbusters” reboot. The original “Spaceballs” was released in 1987, four years after “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” and quickly became a beloved member of the parody family. IMDB has the movie ranked at the seventh best parody movie of all time, with the list topped by “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and “Airplane!” “Spaceballs” received a reboot in 2005 when Brooks directed a 13 episode animated series following the release of the “Star Wars” prequels. The series saw the return of Daphne Zuniga and Joan Rivers, but no other original cast members. You can find the animated series on YouTube with all of its “Star Wars” parody fun. The first episode “Revenge of the Sithee” even features a character very similar to Darth Maul. Not much has been confirmed regarding “Spaceballs 2,” but Brooks told “The Nerdist” that the film is in early stages of development and that he hopes to start shooting early this year.

long-running anime and series of movies, a trading card game, twenty-four video games in the main series with a great many spinoffs plus an augmented-reality game on the way, and no end in sight for any of that, Pokémon is a cultural force to be reckoned with the world over, especially in America and Japan, its country of origin. People love Pokémon. There are countless videos of Pokémon events wherein a large contingency of people dress up as Pikachu, the most iconic Pokémon, and perform silly dances. There is a very active “Trainer” community, with players of all colors and creeds coming together to whoop on each other’s virtual pets. Even the Trading Card Game, which is admittedly not as popular as it once was, still has a dedicated player base (that I would be an unashamed part of if I had time or money). I was honestly a bit inspired by the ad put out by The Pokémon Company, probably because I’ve grown up with it. The message the franchise has always carried is gloriously represented: if you work hard and never, ever give up, you can be the very best, like no one ever was. Train on.

Slow your roll A lesson in crosswalk etiquette By Jenna Beresheim | News Editor

Musings from a woman on the edge By Katrina Penaflor | Managing Editor Would you spend a million dollars on a picture of a potato? Like, the things fries are made of. Also, there will be nothing else in the picture—it’s just a potato on a black background. It’s not even held by anyone cool, like David Beckham or John Stamos. It’s. Just. A. Potato. Well, a European businessman did. He spent just over $1 million on a photograph of a spud. To have the kind of money to just casually be like, “Oh, I think I need a picture of a potato, hopefully I can find one that fits into my budget of a million dollars.” The picture was taken by Kevin Abosch, a famous Irish photographer, or at least famous enough to credit such an outrageously high sale. Abosch has taken pictures of people like Stephen Spielberg and
Malala Yousafzai, and his photos average a cost of half a million dollars. This is what Abosch told the Irish Times about the photograph: “I see
study of the human experience.” Well, I do have to give it to Abosch. That’s probably one of the greatest and most emotionally gripping potato descriptions I’ve ever read. But did it Photo courtesy of CNN.COM make the picture worth its million-dollar price tag? I think not. I wonder if I started taking pictures of potatoes, if I could bring in that kind of cash. Hell, I’ll settle for 20 dollars for the picture, or 10, I’m not picky. And, to the commonalities between humans man who bought it, I hope it hangs and potatoes that speak to our re- proudly above some lavish firelationship as individuals within a place in your home.

As someone who typically doesn’t let the small mishaps in life ruffle her feathers too much, I must admit there has been an underlying tantrum waiting to turn She-Hulk at the next car that nearly runs me over while I cross the street. It seems innocent enough at first. You’re walking across the crosswalk, only to see the car slowly encroaching down the street towards your squishy, non-vehicular body. It passes into the intersection without wavering, engine so close you can practically feel the heat radiating from it. Cue the “Jaws” theme. You’re not about to demean yourself and hurl your frame at the curb like some poor human in “Grand Theft Auto,” yet you feel the car rush past right behind you before you have even finished walking the space deemed “safe.” Let me get one thing straight. I am someone who walks sidewalks and crosswalks like everything else around me is lava. My friends actually tease me about the Sim-like habits I have ingrained in me. I’m not someone who jaywalks or rushes out in an entitled fashion - don’t worry, those humans have a special rant saved for them too. Instead, I am merely trying to get to class or work, and constantly encounter the same problems. Sometimes, when the rain descends from the heavens in a weak reenactment of “Carrie,” I find myself having to wait for the impatient driver who either runs the stop sign or eyes me and continues driving. I’m so glad you decided in those few seconds that you were more worthy, you, in your warm, dry car, were more entitled to shaving a millisecond off your ETA than allowing me to scurry into the sanctity of shelter awaiting me at the end of puddle city. I’m not asking for you to stop a thousand feet away and wait a whole five minutes. I only ask that you stay in your designated area at a stop until I have crossed. Fair enough? But don’t get me wrong, crossing the street is a two-way … well, street. A partnership. If I am the one who stops to wait for you, I expect the passer to not be on their phone, to at least acknowledge I stopped, and to walk with a purpose. A simple wave or smile will do, and then hurry on your way. If I intend to cross the street, I typically pause and allow cars that have been waiting for the swarms to clear to go, then make my way. I show my appreciation for them actually waiting their turn, (as they could just as easily turn me to paste under their tires) and move briskly to my destination. It boils down to being considerate of other human beings. Wait your turn and play nice with the other children, and all will play out. I promise that hitting a student or being the one hit by a car will impact your day far worse than showing up to class a few moments late.

Democracy at its finest An explanation of the Iowa Caucus and the results By Conner Williams | Editor-in-Chief If you were confused by what went on this week at the Iowa Caucus, you’re not alone. Frankly, the system is completely absurd. Let’s take a look at some of the specifics of what a caucus is and how they work. First, two states have caucuses in place of the voting systems that the other states have. Those two are Iowa and New Hampshire, the latter of which starts this coming Tuesday, Feb. 9. Iowa has a multistep process for choosing the delegates that are the ones that actually cast the votes that count towards the candidate for that particular state. The state had a turnout of 171,508 caucusgoers – the second-highest turnout in history behind the 2008 election – and was divided up into 1,683 precincts, which in total will send 11,065 delegates to the county conventions on March 12.
The Journal Friday, Feb. 5, 2016 Those 11,065 delegates then get cut down to 1,406 to attend congressional district on April 30 and state conventions on June 18. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton narrowly edged out Bernie Sanders by a margin of less than one-half of a percentage point; Clinton came in at 49.9 percent of the caucus votes (701), while Sanders hauled in 49.6 percent (697). Martin O’Malley took in the remaining eight for the grand total of 1,406 that was mentioned earlier. The split between Sanders and Clinton is reportedly the closest result in 40 years of the Iowa Caucus. But what do those numbers actually mean? Well, it’s a bit confusing, so hang in there. Those figures represent estimates of how many delegates will attend the congressional district and state conventions. The percentage points are actually “state delegate equivalents,” as NPR reported. Since the split between Clinton and Sanders was so close, the state had to resort to its unusually odd and improbable method of tiebreaking: coin flips. And you can be that there was a significant amount of controversy over the coin tosses that were used as tie breakers to award delegates for precincts that had an odd number of delegates – and yes, I know what you’re thinking: our high-

ly advanced democratic system employs coin tosses to decide who wins votes? Yes, yes it does. The National Public Radio gave a fantastic example of a hypothetical situation. Say a precinct has 5 delegates to award. The voters for that precinct are split evenly between Sander and Clinton. If it were a precinct with an even number of delegates, they would be split evenly down the middle, with half going to Clinton and half to Sanders. But in a precinct with an odd number of delegates – this one with five, for example – a coin toss is used to decide who gets that last one. There were reportedly six precincts in which the decision for awarding delegates was so tight that they had to be
decided with coin tosses. Six tosses, and Clinton won all of them; a one in 64 chance of occurring. But those were just initial reports from The De Moines Register; the narrative has been updated to say that there were many more coin tosses, and Sanders won “at least half of them.” But that still doesn’t change the fact that were are using the flip of a coin as part of our democratic system. Despite the outcry over the situation, the coin tosses were for county delegates, not for the state. There is still a long ways to go, and with the way things have happened thus far, who knows what could happen in the coming months.
What’s up with all the blue shirts and buttons? Faculty who teach half-time or more at WOU are represented by WOUFT (Western Oregon University Federation of Teachers). The faculty union has been bargaining since February of last year and would like to settle the contract but . . .
FAIRNESS is at stake!
Nearly all other non-monetary issues are settled but . . . the WOU administration seems to feel that non-tenure track faculty (NTTs or "adjuncts") are easily replaceable and therefore not worthy of the same average percentage salary increase as the permanent (tenure-track) faculty. Most of these NTT faculty members have Master's degrees and have taught at WOU for several years (9 on average) yet earn less than $33,000 per year teaching full time!
The difference between a contract and further union action is only $210,000. That's all it would take to settle this contract and treat the lowest paid faculty fairly.
WOU has increased tuition & fees, received increased state appropriations, received targeted funding for our faculty's success in teaching and advising underrepresented students, and the new WOU President just took a ~ 16% pay increase to $225,000 per year! With a roughly $9 million dollar reserve fund, the President is not willing to spend less than his own annual salary to settle the contract.
According to MIT's "Living Wage Calculator", a living wage for a single adult with one child in Polk County is about $46,000. That's a $13,000 per year difference between what it takes to get by and what the university pays your NTT instructors. We're simply asking them to close that gap a little bit.
