University of Oregon Men’s Center, the 14-year-old student organization, strives to help male students live a healthy life and celebrate healthy masculinity on campus. It is also the student group that received the largest increase, a 249 percent bump in its budget, among all 170 ASUO-recognized student groups.
The $65,000 bump in its budget will allow the student group to hire a professional director, current Graduate Teaching Fellow director Aaron Porter said.
Porter, a graduate student majoring in couples and family therapy, joined UO Men’s Center in 2012. He has held the GTF director position of the student group for two years.
Earlier this year, UO Men’s Center kicked off a new program called the Men of Strength Team, or MOST, as an effort to prevent sexual assault on campus with a variety of topics relating to reconstructing masculinity, sexual violence and intersectionality, Porter said. UO Men’s Center, Phi Gamma Delta and UO Organization Against Sexual Assault are all co-sponsoring the 20-week program.
“It’s all about strengthening healthy masculinity and engaging men in a critical conversation about deconstructing a culture that promotes sexual violence,” Porter said.
The group has worked closely with Kyle Holmberg, a fraternity member of FIJI, to get Fraternity and Sorority Life more involved with the program, Assistant Director A.J. Fierro-Stephens said.
UO Men’s Center will start up its week-long Masculinity Speaker Series event in May.
UO Men’s Center also hosts weekly meetings with around seven to 10 attendees that come and share their experiences, Fierro-Stephens said.
But to keep the group running smoothly, Porter has taken on more
hours than a student should.“I’m supposed to work 20 hours [a
week], but sometimes I would work up to 30 hours,” Porter said. “I have to balance that between being a busy grad student and running these big projects, which require a lot of time and energy, but we only have limited time in our schedule. It’s very difficult.”
Out of the $65,000 increase, the Men’s Center will use almost $50,000 to find an adequate and qualified candidate as the new director.
“It takes someone very intentional and mindful to run these events,” Porter said. “There’s a lot of wrong ways to do men’s work.”
Porter said the high wage is essential to attract suitable candidates because there are not many Men’s Center directors out there. Programs Finance Committee members agreed.
Programs Finance Committee member and ASUO Senate President Kevin Dobyns was in full support of the new director position.
“It’s definitely something that is needed and long overdue,” Dobyns said. “I was surprised that the Men’s Center hasn’t had a full time director.”
ASUO Finance Director Shawn Stevenson reminded PFC members at the meeting that the proposed $65,000 increase for the Men’s Center alone would nearly match last year’s $82,000 total for amount of increases given to all student groups combined. But Stevenson said he supports Men’s Center, saying it is a well-rounded club that has a big impact on campus.
The rest of the increased budget is going to fund MOST and an additional stipend position. MOST hosts its weekly meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Men’s Center, which is located in McArthur Court.

On March 19, the EMU Ballroom will close for a $2 million renovation. The project, which is supposed to be complete at the start of the fall 2016 term, will expand the venue’s capacity and improve its accessibility.
“[The ballroom renovation] is a blessing for everyone on campus. It’s the largest single space for an event that is not an athletic facility,” UO Director of scheduling and event Services Rick Haught said.
The ballroom was not part of the initial renovation plan of the EMU. According to Haught, the decision to renovate the room was made during late summer last year, after costs of the complete EMU construction were under budget.
That’s put some student groups in a complicated situation when it comes to event planning. Haught says there were six events scheduled during the ballroom’s scheduled closure. Though three of them have been moved to other venues on campus, the changes haven’t come without financial and logistical problems.
Gary Gao, president of the International Student Association, said moving venues tripled the cost of its annual International Night from $2,000 to $6,000 because it has been moved to McArthur Court. Unlike the ballroom, Mac Court
lacks a stage, sound system and lighting system that would be adequate for the ISA’s event. As a result, the group must pay for additional services to set up the venue for the event.
“We probably have to go to the ASUO [Senate] to get more funds,” Gao said.
Mani Woodward, co-director of the Students of the Indian Subcontinent, said his group booked the venue one year in advance for its annual culture night but had to relocate it. As a result, SIS decided to split the event between the Living Learning Center Performance Hall and Straub Hall, where a performance from Hassan Minhaj of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah will be held. But Woodward said holding the event outside the ballroom actually made the event cheaper: the performance hall is free, and he hopes to reimburse the funds the ASUO gave SIS for the event.
EMU Board Chair Miles Sisk said while other venues like the Ford Alumni Center or Mac Court aren’t as efficient for some events, he thinks the temporary closure is better in the long run.
“I believe that it is a very small sacrifice to ensure the ballroom is up-to-date and accessible to all students,” Sisk said.

Carolyn McDermed, former chief of the University of Oregon Police Department, announced her retirement Friday, Feb. 26, accord-ing to a brief email that night from UOPD Communications Director Kelly McIver.
McDermed’s retirement came with no warning to other members of UOPD.
She had meetings scheduled for every day this week, including three days of Incident Command System advanced training and a meeting about Track Town 2016, McIver said in an email sent to the Emerald only hours before McDermed announced her retirement.
Andre LeDuc, executive di-rector of Enterprise Risk Ser-vices — the department that oversees UOPD — sent an email to all UOPD employees at 9:34 p.m. on Friday announcing McDermed’s retirement.
“Dear UOPD Colleagues,” the email read, “Carolyn McDermed, chief of the University of Oregon Police Department, announced her retirement today. We will have information about the leadership transition process Monday.”
McDermed has been under fire since the UOPD lost a $755,000 lawsuit last year. James Cleav-enger, a former UOPD officer, sued three UOPD employees, including McDermed, for wrongful termina-tion and retaliation. Cleavenger won the lawsuit, $36,000 of which was in punitive damages against McDermed herself.
Cleavenger alleged in his lawsuit that McDermed mismanaged the police department. She was criti-cized specifically for her handling of the “Bowl of Dicks” list, which was created by night shift officers to name people or organizations the officers disliked.
More information about the transition process to another chief will be provided on Monday, McIver said in Friday’s email.

of hours each month beyond the sight of students, fueled by a sense of responsibility to preserve those buried there. For some of the volunteers, that includes their own ancestors.
One of those volunteers is Quentin Holmes, whose family ties to Eugene and the cemetery precede him by three generations — with the headstones to prove it. Holmes has been the president of the Eugene Pioneer Cemetery Association board since 2006; Holmes’ great-grandfather Burt Lake is buried in the cemetery next to Lake’s first wife and sister. When Holmes was growing up, his mother frequently sent him to clean up the plot. Other board members with buried ancestors have similar stories from their childhoods.
“Back then, that was just what people did,” Holmes said.
The cemetery association’s historian, Dorothy Brandner, is one of the few board members without family buried in the cemetery. But for years she has sifted through marriage licenses, death certificates, birth certificates and census reports on a mission to identify the estimated 4,200 people at rest in the Pioneer Cemetery.
“It’s like a puzzle,” Brandner said about her work. “I like history and piecing the past together.”
Brandner credits Bob Carmichael for her initial involvement. Carmichael serves as the treasurer of the cemetery’s endowment fund, and for several decades has run a local dental practice while managing a 300-tree Christmas tree farm. He first urged Brandner to get involved with the board at a dental appointment in 2008.
Like Holmes, Carmichael tended to relatives’ graves while growing up. He also received his first, although unwilling, kiss in the cemetery in the fourth grade while walking a female classmate home from school.
In the midst of a noisy university,
George Dull lives in one of the
quietest neighborhoods around:
surrounded by more than 4,000
graves in the center of the Eugene
Pioneer Cemetery.
“I get along great with my
neighbors,” he said.
In his 24-year span as a grounds caretaker living in a trailer in the cemetery, Dull hasn’t had many unpleasant encounters with people passing through. Still, he doesn’t recommend walking through it at night. The grounds are deliberately left poorly lit to discourage people from doing so, said Kelly McIver, public information officer with the University of Oregon Police Department.
McIver said the cemetery’s reputation as a crime hotspot may be exaggerated by its function. Personal crimes like assaults and robberies are most likely to happen in high-traffic areas, but the cemetery is fairly empty at night.
For some students, it’s a popular place to run. Some simply ignore it. But the 16.5-acre lot, established in 1873, remains in large part a mystery to the students who walk through it.
But to a small group of men and women with deep roots in the Eugene community, the Pioneer Cemetery is familiar ground. They work dozens

Several other board members have longstanding links to the cemetery, but for Holmes, Brandner and Carmichael, it has remained a source of common ground between them. Their connections to Eugene and each other have evolved over the decades.
They all went to South Eugene High School together, though they graduated in different years. Holmes left Oregon for several years; Brandner was a nurse at Sacred Heart. When Carmichael was a member of Kappa Sigma at the UO studying dentistry, he would go into the cemetery to seek solace. Today, he still visits frequently.
“I look at the gravesites like I did when I was a kid,” Carmichael said. “I feel good when I leave ... I can leave there and know I can make a difference because I’m still alive.”
The three of them are continuing a legacy of protecting the 143-year-old cemetery from changing times. Since the cemetery association formed in 1930, the board has played a crucial role in preserving the graves. For example, in the late 1960s, the university wanted to expand onto the cemetery’s north end, which would have required about 1,100 occupied graves to be dug up and moved.
Cemetery association members and the board fought the proposal, which had to be settled through the state legislature. UO tried to compromise: One memorable proposal made by a state representative suggested that the university construct a building over the cemetery, raised above the ground on stilts. A cemetery board member said at the time that the proposal “merits some consideration — but not much.”
The cemetery was eventually saved because plot owners refused to surrender their land and
Holmes’ mother discovered that a Medal of Honor winner, Louis Renninger, was buried there. Medal of Honor winners cannot be moved after they are buried, nor can the cemeteries in which they are buried be changed for some other purpose, according to the board. The university and cemetery have coexisted peacefully since then, aside from a few scuffles over lighting and fencing.
In more recent years, the board decided to clear away much of the underbrush and low-hanging branches that used to obscure the view through the cemetery, making it a less welcoming environment for illicit activities.
The work involved with the cemetery is often physically demanding and requires long hours, which places a heavy burden on a board that consists of members mostly over the age of 70. Students sometimes get involved through community service or research projects, and the board is open to proposals for both. Holmes said that recruiting younger people to get involved is important when looking toward the future.
“You’ve located our Achilles’ heel,” he said. “We have to take our old ways and recast them.”
Dull is younger than the board members, but he also feels the strain of maintaining the cemetery at his age. If asked how long he plans to stay, his response is blunt:
“I don’t know. Till I die, I guess,” he said.In fact, he’ll be there longer. For his 20th work
anniversary, the cemetery association gave Dull his own plot toward the northeastern end of the cemetery, with a clear view of McArthur Court.
“They got me for eternity,” Dull said, as his scuffed tennis shoes sink slightly into the damp green lawn.

Competition is a common thread between siblings, especially when it comes to sports. For Jared and Jason Ross, identical twins and pitchers for Oregon’s club baseball team, the status quo is no different.
Such was the case last May when the Ducks advanced to the 2015 National Club Baseball Association championship game against Arizona State. Both Jared and Jason played significant roles in getting the Ducks to that point.
In team’s Northern Pacific Regional win over defending champion Utah State, Jared pitched a full nine innings with 13 strikeouts despite experiencing pain in his throwing arm.
At the NCBA World Series in Paducah, Kentucky, Jason had a no-hitter going into the eighth inning against Texas and also earned a save in a tight 7-6 win over Florida State.
Naturally, they both wanted to start the championship game.
Jason ultimately got the starting nod against Arizona State. The Ducks won the game 7-4 to clinch their first NCBA championship, and Jason took home MVP honors with a 2-0 world series record and 1.64 ERA. While competition continually fuels the twins to outperform each other, Jared acknowledged that Jason earned the right to start. It’s the kind of team-first attitude that helped club baseball win
the championship last May, and the same kind that the Ducks will need for a repeat title run in Jared and Jason’s senior season.
“There’s definitely competition between the two — you can see it,” said Mikey Finneran, a former Oregon club baseball catcher from 2011-2015 and now assistant coach with the team. “They always kind of want to outdo one another, but I don’t think it impedes on any kind of friendship.”
Jared and Jason started playing baseball as young as four years old. Both dabbled in different positions, but Jared gravitated towards pitching early while Jason played infield positions and pitched.
“[Jared] was always a really good pitcher,” Jason said. “I pitched, but I was always more of a thrower ... It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I actually started getting really into [pitching] and worked really hard at it.”
When the twins’ high school careers finished at Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills, California, they assumed their playing days were over.
But early into their first term at Oregon, Jason was playing quarterback in a flag football class when a club baseball player approached him.
“One of the guys in the class was like, ‘You have a pretty strong arm,
do you play baseball?’ “ Jason said. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I played in high school.’ He was on the club team and said, ‘You should try out.’ “
Both Jason and Jared tried out shortly thereafter and made the team. But there was stigma surrounding the team when Jared and Jason arrived.
“I had a friend who tried out who said, ‘They just don’t take it seriously. They’re not really into it,’ “ Jared said. “They were kind of into it freshman year, but you had some older guys who still had that mentality.”
The team still won games, reaching as high as third in the NCBA rankings, but never advanced past regionals.
“We never had a lack of talent,” Jason said. “I think it was just each year, we got more and more serious.”
It culminated in 2015 when every starter besides Finneran was a junior. After dominating Lane Community College in late April — a major turning point according to the brothers — the Ducks snuck into regionals and hit their stride.
Jason started the first game of regionals against Utah State and pitched into the 10th inning, giving up only one run. Jared started the rematch, earning the win that moved the Ducks onto the world series. The team then outplayed Florida State,
Texas and Iowa State, earning a spot in the championship game. Being competitors, both twins wanted to pitch the last game of the year, but Jared was happy to defer to Jason when the decision was made.
“We were both ready to go for the championship,” Jared said. “He wanted the ball, and I wanted it ... with the season he was having, it had to be him in the last game and I was ready to come in and relieve.”
Now defending champion, Oregon enters the 2016 season ranked No. 1 in the NCBA. In what will almost surely be Jared and Jason’s last season of competitive baseball, their sights are set on returning to Kentucky and accomplishing the rare feat of finishing a season with a championship win.
“It’s very rare if you actually think about it; how often do you win that last game?” Jared said. “If you go to playoffs and don’t win it all, you lose your last game and you’re done. I remember finishing as a senior in high school thinking I’m done with baseball and it was heartbreaking, but it would be so much easier to win that last game.”
Jason agrees.“For us to win not only the last
game of the season, but the last game of my career, it wouldn’t get better than that,” he said.

Oregon women’s basketball forward Jillian Alleyne tore her ACL during practice last Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the season, ending her Duck career early, women’s basketball program announced via press release.
“It is tough to see such a good person have to deal with such a difficult injury,” head coach Kelly Graves said in the release. “Jillian has had one of the most remarkable careers in Pac-12 history and I’m sad to see it cut short. With her strong faith and work ethic, however, I know she will recover and go on to a long and successful professional career.”
Alleyne — projected to go in the first round of this year’s WNBA draft — ends her UO career with 92 double-doubles and ranks No. 3 in NCAA history with 1,712 rebounds. She owns the Oregon and Pac-12 career rebounding records. She’s known not only for her grit on the court but also her positive attitude off the court.
She has scored 2,151 points in 120 career games, which ranks No. 2 in Oregon career history.
“I do think any post that can rebound, run and finish has the
opportunity to be successful in the WNBA,” former Stanford star Chiney Ogwumike said this week. “I have no qualm about her. Whether she’s a starter or the last one off the bench, she will earn her way to playing a lot in the league because of her innate skill-set.”
Without Alleyne this past weekend, Oregon lost to both Cal and Stanford by a combined 38 points. The Ducks’ chance to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005 now looks bleak.
“We still have our opportunities,” Graves said following Oregon’s loss to Cal Friday night. “It’s not going to be easy.”
In addition, Jordan Loera, who has spent five years with the Oregon women’s basketball program, will miss the remainder of the season.
“Whatever she has done to the knee will take more time to rehab than what’s left this season,” Graves said.
Loera finishes her Oregon career with 531 total points and 146 assists, an incredible feat.

📣 OPINION
The FBI is attempting to gain access to the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters from the attack on Dec. 2, 2015.
The problem the FBI is facing is that the phone is protected by a passcode and the iOS software on the phone is programmed to erase the contents of the phone after 10 failed attempts to guess the passcode.
Apple does not have access to the information on the phone because the phone is encrypted for the privacy of its users. However, the FBI is asking Apple to create a new software that bypasses the limit on passcode attempts.
While it is important for the FBI to work against terrorism, and for us to recognize that what happened in San Bernardino should not be taken lightly, Apple is right in refusing to build the new software.
There is a huge potential privacy risk if it is created, as well as the threat of it falling into the wrong hands or being abused in other, less pressing cases than the shooting in San Bernardino.
In a letter to Apple’s customers, Apple CEO Tim Cook responded to the proposed new software.
“The FBI may use different words to describe this tool, but make no mistake: Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor,” he said.
Apple is defending its customers’ privacy on the premise that once a software of such power is created, it could potentially fall into the wrong hands. Yet, the FBI is stating that the software would only be used on this one occasion for this one phone.
The question we should ask is: What happens the next time the government needs access to an iPhone that is evidence in a crime?
While the FBI has a substantial argument in the fact that this is an issue of national safety and they are trying to get to the bottom of this terrorist act, the software won’t just become available and then disappear. The technology they are asking for, once created, will never go away.
After the software is created, one might be able to destroy the program, however, the team that uses it will still know how it works. Once the FBI has used this “backdoor,” they would have a general knowledge of how to do it again.
Apple is standing up and refusing to go down without a fight, with the idea of protecting their customers’ privacy.
“Apple wanted to let the rest of the world know that they are eager to challenge the extraordinary attempt on the part of the government to force them to do something against their will,” UO journalism professor Kyu Ho Youm said.
Apple isn’t allowing the government to simply walk in and take away someone’s privacy — Apple doesn’t invade privacy, which is why the information is out of their reach and why the phone was encrypted in the first place.
In the same letter from Apple, Cook states, “While we believe the FBI’s intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products.”
We need to be thinking about preventing threats, and not creating new ones in regards to the privacy of Americans.

West UniversityWith a student population of nearly 75 percent, West University neighborhood is the center of campus life. The neighborhood starts at Kincaid Street at the western boundary of campus. It’s home to a student-centered shopping district packed with bookstores, coffee shops, lunch spots, and iconic campus bars. Among the best-known spots: The Duck Store, the campus book store, Glenwood Restaurant; Starbucks, American Apparel, Yogurt Extreme, Taylor’s and Rennie’s.

South UniversityJust across 18th Avenue, South University is near Hayward Field and has a student population of about 60 percent. The neighborhood is quieter, and more families and professors reside here. But South University also has a collection of neighborhood spots. Among them: Safeway, Prince Puckler’s Ice Cream, Studio One Café, McMenamins, and Agate Alley Bistro & Bar.
HarlowWith Autzen and PK Park as its neighbors, the Harlow neighborhood is perfect for game days.

The City of Eugene has a code that prohibits more than five unrelated people from living in a single unit or dwelling. It is not illegal for landlords to rent apartments or houses with more than five bedrooms; it’s only illegal for more than five unrelated people to live in the dwelling. Keep this important fact in mind before you sign your lease!
Did you know that it is a city rule that garbage and recycling bins may remain on the curb for no longer than 24 hours?
Leaving bins on curbs has become a problem in Eugene which is why the city is encouraging neighbors to make a little thunder! We hear it roll through our streets each week when our neighbors walk their empty garbage and recycling bins in from the street. The thunder theme was inspired by the sound of the cans and developed in collaboration with the UO. By making some thunder you are contributing to a cleaner, less cluttered, more livable neighborhood and city.
UO is deeply committed to diversity and inclusion and affirms and actively promotes the rights of all individuals to equal opportunity in education and employment at this institution. UO does not tolerate any type of prohibited discrimination in any of its programs or activities, including employment. Further, it is required by Title IX and other applicable laws not to discriminate on the basis of sex. Questions regarding prohibited discrimination, including questions regarding Title IX, may be referred to the University of Oregon’s Title IX Coordinator or to the Office for Civil Rights. Title IX Coordinator Darci Heroy, at 541-346-8136 and [email protected], located at 106 Johnson Hall, 1098 E. 13th Ave., Eugene, OR 97403.
