After years of work, the University of Oregon is getting a new disability studies minor in fall 2016.

According to the UO Disability Studies Initiative, students can declare a minor or graduate specialization in disability studies next school year through the College of Arts and Sciences. The minor will include courses from various academic fields at UO, such as architecture, education, gender studies and literature. Within the minor, students will have the opportunity to interact and connect with the disabled community both on and off campus, explore how disability is connected to race, class and gender and consider how disabilities have had an impact on past and present human experiences.

The minor and graduate specialization will be the first program at UO to solely focus on disabilities and their diverse roles in society. Multiple universities nationwide already have academic programs that focus on disability studies, such as University of Washington and Pacific University.

“We have been working on this [program] for more than 20 years,” said Deborah Olson, co-coordinator of the Disability Studies Initiative and a UO assistant professor.

According to Olson, the minor and graduate specialization are still under curriculum approval processes that will begin next term, but should be approved before the beginning of the 2016-17 academic year. She’s uncertain of student enrollment estimates, but is optimistic about the program’s turnout.

“It might have to snowball and do a bit more word of mouth, but I think it will eventually be really large,” Olson said.

The disability studies minor and graduate specialization will include courses that introduce what disability studies is, courses that involve field studies and service-engaged learning and elective courses that will fit into students’ career interests. Olson says that the program will be complementary to various majors such as journalism or English and provide

perspectives about disabilities that will be beneficial to their careers.

UO English professor Elizabeth Wheeler is heavily involved in the university’s disability studies program and has completed years of work within disability studies. As a person that identifies as someone with a disability, she feels dedicated to spreading the word about disability studies to the campus community.

“Disability is a really important type of diversity,” Wheeler said. “But there isn’t much about it in the U of O curriculum. I think the classroom is a great place to get that kind of grounding.”

Olson agreed, saying, “We finally have a critical mass of people and classes across the campus that can lend themselves to the minor … Its time has come.”

Both Wheeler and Olson hope that the program will have a widespread impact on the campus and local communities. They hope that the program will teach those who aren’t familiar with disability studies about people with disabilities and how they’re represented in today’s society.

“There’s still a lot of oppression and misunderstanding [about disabilities], and I would love to educate a wide range of students about it, to help change that,” Wheeler said.

Despite taking many years to develop, the disability studies program is finally on its way to the university community. Olson gives credit to the faculty on campus who have had an interest in creating new courses related to disability studies. Wheeler agrees, and also gives credit to Dean of Arts and Sciences W. Andrew Marcus and Dean of Humanities Karen Ford for giving the program the green light to move forward.

Both Wheeler and Olson hope that in the future, people with disabilities won’t be viewed with pity or discriminated against, and that the disability studies program will help further educate the UO community.

“I think the message of disability studies is that people with disabilities are just people,” Wheeler said.

WILLIAM PAUSTIAN APPOINTED NEW STUDENT MEMBER

FOR BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s office revealed Oct. 26 that William Paustian will replace Helena Schlegel as the student member on the University of Oregon Board of Trustees.

Since ASUO President Helena Schlegel’s premature resignation on Sept. 25, Brown’s executive appointee staff immediately began accepting applications to recommend a student to fill Schlegel’s shoes as the representative.

Paustian will take over for Schlegel after her final day on Nov. 15, once the Oregon State Senate confirms him.

The ASUO Executive, Schlegel included, was given exactly two weeks to make a recommendation to the governor regarding who best fill the role. The Executive reviewed applications and invited all the candidates for an interview.

Paustian will vote on decisions regarding tuition, construction projects and the student

conduct code. He will also work with other board members in committees to shape policy on matters affecting all members of the campus community.

ASUO Executive leadership is hopeful that Paustian will not only vote as a member of the highest governing board at the University of Oregon, but will work closely with the board as an advocate for the needs of students.

“The ASUO Executive will be in consistent communication with the student trustee to ensure they are aware of the work the ASUO is doing for students on campus, and how that coincides with what the Board is working on,” Schlegel said.

Last year, prior to when Schlegel was elected ASUO President and only worked as the student member of the Board of Trustees, she rallied with student leaders against the board’s decision to increase tuition by 3.8 percent and advocated

for students to increase their involvement in the tuition-setting process. Her resolve has led to a “Tuition and Fees Open Forum,” which took place on Oct. 26. The forum gave students the opportunity to learn about the process by which it is decided and to voice opinions regarding tuition.

Since the introduction of the student BOT member position in the summer of 2014, all three representatives who held the role also served as ASUO President.

The ASUO Senate hopes that the student member could provide a source of information on what is going on in the highest levels.

“I would want us to meet with the new member, and find out how we could, as a small piece of the university that is the ASUO, could fit in with the university, and get the university to reflect on student desire and student input,” ASUO senator Zachary Rentschler said.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE HIP-HOP TRIO HEADED FOR MATTHEW KNIGHT

PA G E 6 E M E R A L D M O N DAY, N O V E M B E R 9 , 2 0 1 5

This was a prolific summer for hip hop. A$AP Rocky, Tyler The Creator, and Vince Staples all ushered in releases that fared exceptionally well – A$AP’s At.Long.Last.A$AP in May, Tyler’s Cherry Bomb in April, Vince’s Summertime ’06 in June.

All three are playing the Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday, Nov. 12.

A$AP Rocky is the highest-profile member of the Harlem collective A$AP Mob. His album At.Long.Last.A$AP came out in May with an A-list lineup of guests (M.I.A., Future, Schoolboy Q, Kanye West, Rod Stewart, Lil Wayne, Mos Def) and producers (Kanye West, Danger Mouse, Mark Ronson).

Tyler, the Creator is formerly of the hip hop collective Odd Future, which also bred stars like Earl Sweatshirt and Frank Ocean.

His first two albums borrowed from an invented alter ego that dictated Tyler’s brutal, depressive and often ultraviolent impulses. In late August, Tyler was declared banned from the United Kingdom on the grounds of “posing a threat to the public order.” This decree was linked to an Australian feminist group that said lyrics from his 2009 debut Bastard were basis enough to keep him out of the country.

Odd Future was also banned from New Zealand

in 2014 after officials said they posed a threat to public order because the group has “incited violence” at past performances, according to the Guardian.

Contrary to what the title might imply, Vince Staples’ Summertime ’06 immediately knocks the notion of an easy-going summer album.

Instead, what Staples delivers is a wistful, nostalgic take on his formative years, the title referring to a pivotal summer at the age of 13. Now 22, the rapper has developed into a big-hearted lyricist who strikes a rough juxtaposition between the bougie SoCal lifestyle and his time growing up in Long Beach.

“Summer of 2006, the beginning of the end of everything I thought I knew,” he wrote on Instagram. “Youth was stolen from my city that summer and I’m left alone to tell the story. This might not make sense but that’s because none of it does, we’re stuck. Love tore us apart.”

KWVA DJ Nathan Stevens wrote on the album: “Outside of the trap-flavored ‘Norf Norf’ or the Future-biting ‘Señorita,’ there’s nothing on Summertime that could play nice with Kid Cudi or Chris Brown—soft shit like that would probably catch fire in the presence of Staples’ rhymes.”

WITH A PURPOSE➡ J O N A T H A N H A W T H O R N E , @ J O N _ H AW T H O R N E

J I L L I A N A L L E Y N E :

In high school, Jillian Alleyne collected apartment listings, rent guides and PennySaver coupons. Her mission was to help her single mother Pamela Williamson find a stable place to live, so she hunted for them during lunch breaks at school. She circled affordable apartments and even called some rental agents. After school, she would report back to her mom, who was working three jobs, from sunrise until late at night.

Old enough to understand what an eviction notice meant, Alleyne, now a standout forward for the Oregon women’s basketball team, took it upon herself to help — while also juggling

basketball, volleyball and school.“I knew what my mom was going through,” Alleyne said. “She just always

said to stay faithful, keep our heads up and know that God is going to bless us with something.”

At Oregon last year, she was an all-Pac-12 selection and led the conference in rebounds with 15.2 a game. Now entering her senior season, Alleyne has taken a journey unique among her teammates.

During her junior year of high school, on an autumn morning, Alleyne and her family awoke to an eviction notice on their door. But this time it was different. They didn’t know their next step.

“My heart dropped,” Alleyne said. “I was like, ‘We have to do this again?’ At this point, it must’ve been my second or third time.”

That night, her mother slept in the family car, while Alleyne and her sister, Faith Williamson, stayed at a friend’s house. They lived not knowing what the next day would bring. A week later, they moved into another Fontana, California, apartment. An eviction notice came again, and they moved in with one of Pamela’s coworkers in a two-bedroom apartment in Rialto, California. They felt at home because of the generosity of their friends.

Then, on New Year’s Day 2012, the family had a breakthrough — they landed an apartment, where Pamela has lived ever since.

“I never gave in when things happened,” Pamela said. “I always had a mindset that it was a temporary setback.”

Alleyne has never met her birth father. She’s tried to look him up, but hasn’t succeeded in finding him. She has her mother Pamela’s maiden name. Her stepfather, Donald Williamson, was in-and-out of state prison when Faith and Alleyne were little. Donald and Pamela divorced four years ago.

Jillian Alleyne’s family moved to eight different cities during her K-12 years. Map by Jacob Urban/Emerald.

“When I was younger, I didn’t understand the concept of him,” Alleyne said. “I wanted my dad.”

The volatility was difficult on the two kids. Donald and Alleyne often butted heads during their times living in small apartments.

The family put food on the table, though it wasn’t easy. They always ate three meals a day, even if they weren’t gourmet. When they’d eat at McDonalds, Alleyne envied her friends who ordered the combo meals, while she ordered what her family could afford.

But Alleyne found an outlet every Sunday in church. When it seemed like “rock bottom” at home, her confidence in God helped her through. They lived by Pamela’s favorite biblical motto: “Worrying isn’t going to add another hour to your life.”

“It was difficult, yes, but it was my faith that kept me going,” Pamela said. “I always tell them that too.”

It was even more difficult for Alleyne, whose family jumped around to eight different cities during her K-12 years. In elementary school, she remembers getting ready for school in the bathroom of the Von’s grocery store where her mom worked. And when Alleyne and her family moved into her grandmother’s house in middle school, she woke up at 4 a.m. to walk five miles to the bus stop.

After three different elementary schools and one middle school, she

J I L L I A N A L L E Y N E :

spent two years at Ayala High School in Chino Hills, California. The commute was long, an hour or so with traffic. Her classmates were well-off; they didn’t have to worry about the same things she did.

Alleyne transferred to Summit High in Fontana and found guidance from basketball coach Latrina Duncan. Alleyne led her team to a state championship her senior year.

“Everyone understood each other’s situation,” Alleyne said of Summit. “We all knew we didn’t have money. I felt pressured to look the part [at Ayala]. Summit was more accustomed to me and where I was at in my life.”

Her mother always stressed academics, often asking for weekly reports, so she kept her grades up despite the unstable lifestyle.

Alleyne internalized her home struggles. Only a few parents on the basketball team knew of her family’s situation. People in Alleyne’s life helped out in small ways. Pamela didn’t ask for extra help from the church community because she always wants “to give instead of getting,” she said.

At Oregon last year, Alleyne was an all-Pac-12 selection and led the conference in rebounds with 15.2 a game. Now entering her senior season, Alleyne comes from a unique past.

Duncan drove Alleyne home from practice occasionally. Her close friend’s dad pitched in for hotel rooms during the busy club basketball circuit, essential for earning a scholarship. Alleyne navigated the recruiting process, taking official visits and learning from college coaches, all while battling instability at home.

“You don’t hear about too many kids being homeless, especially a kid like Jill who had great status on campus,” Duncan said. “Through her experiences, she’s grown to be humble and giving.”

Alleyne didn’t miss practices, Duncan said, and Pamela was ever-present at games. Now that Alleyne is at Oregon, games at USC and

UCLA draw over 30 friends and family, including her stepfather who now keeps close tabs on Alleyne’s career at Oregon.

“It’s like a doctor’s appointment,” Faith said. “We all go. Always.”Alleyne has already cemented herself in the UO record books.

Entering her senior season, she’s 18 rebounds shy of the career record. She’s projected to go in the first round of next year’s WNBA draft.

“I know basketball is the ticket to helping my family,” Alleyne said.This year, Alleyne moved into her first house. With a stipend as a

student-athlete, she now lives with fellow senior Jordan Loera south of campus. She’s never wasteful with food, and she’s made the home warm with candles, lights and a big American flag hanging on the wall. Alleyne said she can’t wait for her mother to visit.

“Jill is a saint,” Loera said. “She’s a breath of fresh air to come home to. She always has a smile on her face.”

Alleyne hopes one day she can help her mom with a down payment on a house, preferably close to the beach in Southern California.

Only a few former teammates know about Alleyne and her family’s battle with financial instability. To some extent, she’s held her struggles close, because she doesn’t want to be pitied.

“She doesn’t open up to many people in general about herself,” former teammate Katelyn Loper said. “She doesn’t want people to feel sorry for her — that’s the main thing. Her support system is through the roof.”

Pamela admires her. Faith envies her laid-back humility. Duncan always looks forward to her smile.

“I’ve already been knocked down pretty hard, so the only way is up,” Alleyne said. “That’s how I see life, and not a lot of people know anything about me. There’s always a story behind a person’s smile.”

⚡ SPORTS

OREGON GOLF:The Oregon men’s golf

team was unable to end its fall season on a high note, finishing sixth out of 15 teams at the Gifford Collegiate Championship in San Diego, California.

The No. 29 Ducks reached as high as third place early in the tournament, but regressed in the final two rounds.

Sulman Raza’s four-under second round on Tuesday was the best round for the team on the tournament. The redshirt junior birdied five holes on the round, including back-to-back birdies on the 12th and 13th hole. Raza combined to finish three-over for the tournament, good enough for 12th place.

Sophomore Aaron Wise, currently ranked No. 16 overall in the NCAA, finished just ahead of Raza in 11th. Junior Thomas Lim shot a three-under in round one, but like the rest of the team, declined as the tournament went on.

Stanford’s Maverick McNealy, the No. 1 ranked

NCAA men’s golfer, took home top honors with a combined four-under scorecard across three rounds. The unranked Washington team won the tournament, shooting a combined six-under.

Oregon also got a good look at both of its true freshmen. Edwin Yi, who replaced senior Brandon McIver in the playing lineup, finished a combined +11, tied with senior Zach Foushee in 45th place. Sam Foust played the tournament as an individual. His second round even-par scorecard was his best of the tournament.

Fall season is now a wrap for the Ducks. The three month layoff comes at a much needed time, as Oregon looks to rebound from a 10th place finish at the Nike Intercollegiate and its most recent finish at the Gifford Collegiate. Oregon’s spring schedule commences with the Amer Ari Invitational, beginning Feb. 4 in Waikoloa, Hawaii.

TV shows like Gossip Girl, New Girl and Golden Girls all have their places in popular culture as the programs that your grandma, mother, sister or girlfriend once loved to obsess over and continuously marathon. Add Gilmore Girls to the mix and you have the perfect compilation of female-centered shows watched by the last few generations.

The show ran from 2000-2007, and despite the eight-year break since its series finale, Gilmore Girls is the buzz once again, at least amongst some crowds.

On Oct. 1, Netflix, our modern online mecca for TV and movie entertainment, made all seven seasons of the series available for streaming. Since then, Netflix has announced that they are working with the Gilmore Girls creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, and much of the original cast to potentially make four 90-minute movies about what’s happening in the show’s fictional town of Stars Hollow today.

Adding to the show’s revival news, a popular podcast called Gilmore Guys has also come out since the show’s Netflix debut where Kevin Porter and Demi Adejuyigbe give hilarious commentary on each episode of the series.

I felt left out with all this news about the “dramedy” surfacing and wanted to get in on all the excitement. I had never watched an episode before last month, but I do recall Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel’s faces popping up on TV every time I’d channel surf for reruns of

Friends. I had heard about the series here and there in the past, mostly from my female friends and I never thought much about it — I just labeled Gilmore Girls as one of those shows that girls watched at sleepovers in place of a good rom-com. It was just another fluffy program that women forced their significant others to watch with them, and I wanted nothing to do with it.

But now, after having been sucked into a Netflix binge-watching trance for the last few weeks and completing the show’s first season, I take back every word I said and every thought I had about the early-2000s hit.

Gilmore Girls is not just a show for teen girls to fangirl over — the characters and storyline are things that we should all be consciously consuming because of all that we can learn from them. And that means you too, boys.

Many women and men are guilty of ignoring certain TV shows and movies, deeming specific media unfit for them because of its name or general storyline. I’ve done this countless times with shows like The League and Pretty Little Liars, but giving them a chance is worth it, as should everyone with Gilmore Girls.

The show centers on that is often labeled as a “non-traditional” family since it’s just Lorelei, played by Graham, and Rory, played by Bledel. There’s no father-figure who is continuously involved and only a couple of grandparents who are slowly re-entering their daughter and

granddaughter’s lives. The two protagonists are then surrounded by an oddball cast who make up the small town of Stars Hollow. These people are characters to say the least, which brings in a lot of hilarious material to play off of.

After being just one season in, I have noticed that the script feels choppy at times. The sets often seem unfinished. And there are some continuity errors that I’ve already caught here and there. But putting that aside, there is no doubt that Gilmore Girls is brilliant in all other aspects.

The “drama” that comes up in the show isn’t ever that serious, but the show is far from simple. Strategically intertwined with the witty one-liners and quick banters is a complexity that gives notice to issues that everyone can somehow relate to, not just the show’s female-majority audience. There are bits to the show that hit at relationships we all experience with parents, friends, teachers and love interests. Matters of economic class also come up with Rory’s private schooling and her wealthy grandparents. And then there’s the progressiveness of the series that I think everyone should be exposed to.

From the amusing humor, to the nonstop pop culture references, to the rich cast – including a more enjoyable Melissa McCarthy before Tammy – all in combination with realistic depictions of women, everyone has a reason to give Gilmore Girls a chance.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT CERTIFICATIONAvailable at: www.nsarco.com

The idea of taking care of a furry friend may sound fun, but the reality of being a pet owner is full of responsibilities.

Coming to college often means leaving that special one behind, and I’m not talking about your high school boyfriend. I’m refering to the little creature that snuggles into the nook of your legs at night and is ecstatic every time you walk in the door. You may call this little guy or gal Sparky or Lucky and consider it a part of the family. With a few exceptions, most college students do not bring their pets with them to school and therefore miss out on the comfort and entertainment a pet provides. But before you run over to Petco and buy the first German Shepard puppy you see, you need to evaluate whether you can realistically take on the responsibility of taking care of a pet.

First and most importantly, you need to check if having a pet in your apartment is allowed. Realtors have the right to pack on a heavy fine or evict you if they find out you have a pet. However, there are ways to get around this problem, If you are serious about making it work. You can pull the emotional instability card and get your cat or dog, and even ferret, certified as an emotional support animal. This can conveniently be completed via the Internet. Be aware that this will rack up to over $75 in fees and your apartment company may still deny the certification without an actual recommendation from your therapist.

If you have the go ahead from your realtor, next you need to check with your roommates. If your roommate is highly allergic to dogs or cats, do yourself a favor and pass on purchasing an animal. That is a hospital visit or possible lease break you do not want to deal with. But if your roommate gives you the okay, then you need to evaluate your time availability. Puppies and kittens are essentially babies and need more care. If you are taking 20 credits, working 48 hours at Dutch Bros. and go out three out of the seven days of the week, please do society a favor and not get a pet. Getting an animal in this situation would be considered neglect. Having a dog requires walking it, and if you do not have a backyard, then you will need to go on a walk two or more days a week. We live in Eugene; remember those 20-degree mornings or torrential downpours that happen frequently? Yeah, you will have to walk them in those conditions. Cats require less work than dogs, but they still need the same amount of love and attention, just in a different way.

Let’s focus on risk management for a minute. Kittens and puppies like to chew things: roommate’s shoes, class projects, furniture. You have it, they chew it. They are furry balls of destruction. They may also ruin parts of your apartment, like carpet. In the long run, this may

affect that very expensive deposit you are hoping to get back.

Beyond damage to your possessions, the little guy might get sick. Do you have a job? Vet bills can add up fast and you want to be able to give your pet the best possible care. It is important to check if your new pet is spayed or neutered because more puppies and kittens can be a whole new problem. There are many low cost clinics in the Eugene area to get the procedure done.

If you are not an Oregon native, having a pet can be challenging when going home for the holidays. If you are planning to fly with Alaska or Southwest, then you need to be prepared to pay $100 each way to bring your pet on board. Yes, I said on board. Do not take the risk of checking your pet under the plane. You’ve read the articles; don’t do it!

So if your schedule is clear, roommates agree, finances in check out and you have an okay from your realtor, then congratulations! You probably still aren’t ready to get a pet, but you probably will do it anyway. Just keep in mind that the animal is a living thing. It takes money, constant attention, time and lots of love.

Save or Splurge?Tips on when to go the cheaper route and when to become a big spender

Goodwill can give you some mixed feelings. Sometimes you strike gold and can find the perfect dining room table. Other times you find yourself running towards the exit after seeing used mattresses for sale. Whether you are a thrift store junkie or a lover of shopping (at a reasonable cost), here are a few tips on getting the most bang for your buck while decorating your space. If you need a weekend project or are looking to save a few dollars, then stop by your local thrift shop! Some items can be found for half the price of those at a retail store. With a little TLC they can also look brand new. But be cautious, some items should be bought spanking new, for safety and sanitary purposes.

QUICK TIPS WHEN THRIFTING

• It takes time. You won’t find the perfect dresser at the first store. You need to shop around and come back several times.

• Although you are saving money, you are still spending. Don’t buy complete crap! Some items cannot be saved, no matter the amount of spray paint and Modge Podge.

• Shop near the nicer parts of town. Odds are the wealthier households are donating there. Who knows, they might throw away a nice table or two.

• Look for hidden gems. Go outside of the basics and find classics pieces. Most frames and mirrors can be sanded, spray-painted and cleaned to look brand new.

• When you are shopping at a thrift store, think re-purpose rather than its current state. If the skeleton of the furniture is there, then the fabric and color can easily be changed.

• Spray paint is essentially real-life Photoshop. Go stock up on vibrant colors.

• Get to know the store employees so you can be knowledgeable about days of the store’s sales and when they put out new inventory.

If you like the taste of rust, then go ahead and purchase used ones. But most of society likes their food rust free, so splurge and go buy yourself some durable pans.

How many times have you looked at a Pinterest DIY and realized you didn’t have a hammer to complete the project? Hammers and screw drivers have a long shelf life, so you can save on these goods.

Really inspect the furniture, but if it is sturdy, go for it. This could turn into a fun weekend project!

You can find espresso makers, popcorn makers and rice cookers for as little as $10 at thrift shops. Use your best judgment for these products though.

Splurge times a billion, but for reasonably-priced mattresses and bedding, Wal-Mart and Target carry cheap bedding and pillows to avoid purchasing second hand ones.

Frames can be found for cheap at thrift stores and can be fixed up to look new. Now you can feel like an adult when you frame your sidewalk sale posters.

Becoming a BallerAsk any college student what lies at

the center of American college culture. If a parent is asking, we’d probably say academics. But to a peer — yeah, we’ll admit it — it’s drinking. As college students, we are in a unique position (due to high stress and geographic convenience) to constantly have drinking pals willing to turn up with us. In short, there’s always a party going on. In order to consciously ignore the amount we are drinking (no more than 2-3 drinks a night) and the time we are wasting (I should have gone to the library tonight), we look for entertainment sources (to give us a reason to keep drinking) during the aforementioned parties. In my time here at Oregon, through careful observations of my peers, I have noted that the most popular source of entertainment is the time honored tradition of beer pong.

In high school, I naively assumed that when I got to college, I would be attending some incredible ragers. I went to a small Catholic school where the social scene included sports practices and SAT prep. My daydreams of college came straight from the scenes of over-budgeted films where thirty-five year olds pretended to be college coeds having the time of their life. And yes, I cringe that I once aspired to have these experiences. From my research, it seemed that every great party included college kids going to war over red cups and beer- soaked ping pong balls (see the movie Neighbors. That’s right, I’m pointing a judgemental finger at you, Zac Efron).

On my first night of college, in a particularly musty basement, I readied myself for a significant life experience but the trap was not hot (see Urban Dictionary). Everyone was gathered around a crusty plywood table. Then

lightning struck: the cute boy from my dorm asked me to be his beer pong partner.

“You’ve played before, right? I’m actually on an undefeated streak.”

“Duh. I’m, like, super good!” I bet you can guess what came next:

I trolled and didn’t make a single cup. Afterwards, cute boy (who of course I’ve completely forgotten the name of by now) quickly distanced himself from me and found a new beer pong partner. At that moment, I knew that a change would have to be made; I decided that I would learn the secrets to beer pong and that I would wow my peers with my stellar hand-to-eye coordination. I was determined to be a baller. Though I never quite accomplished my goal, I did do a few years of research.

BECOMING A BALLERThe first step to becoming a beer pong baller is to buck up and get yourself some proper hardware. If you’re a big beer pong player, you know how big of an advantage it is to have house rules in your favor. An even bigger advantage is having an ideal table set up that you created for you and your homies to dominate. Plus, if you have a beer pong table, you can practice at home and impress people with your natural skills. They never have to know that you spent hours setting up the solo cups and fantasizing about exactly how you would say, “KOBE” upon draining the game-winning shot. This, my friends, is the definition of a beer pong baller (or a seventh year senior).

THRIFTY BALLERThe baller with a limited budget can buy a simple folding table for under twenty dollars and store it anywhere it won’t get in the way. While this may seem like the most cost and space efficient answer, may I remind you of a wise old saying that my mother

often drills into me: “Out of sight, out of mind.” If you’re not thinking about how to become a baller in every single waking moment, how will you ever get better?

BIG BUDGET BALLERFor the lucky enthusiasts out there who don’t mind dropping a few hundos on a table, you can really go all out. Ordering a table online is the opulent way to get your exact specifications met. Prices on these tables are high but a worthwhile option for someone who wants to buy his or her way to ballerdom. Beer pong tables can go upwards of 600 dollars and have features such as LED lighting, surround sound and dancing colors.

ARTSY BALLERIf you want to create a table that’s a work of art and totally you, embrace that, man! This is college; you need to express yourself! I’ve seen artwork on beer pong tables that have frat letters and I’ve also seen super crafty ones with hand drawn animals and plants. People take pride in making their beer pong tables their own and I respect that. If you’re interested in making your own beer pong table, there are many resources online focusing on how to customize your experience to create something that you’ll want to take photos of to show your children: “See kids? I was cool.”

There are many ways in achieving beer pong baller status. It all depends on how much time and money you want to put into it. For the most part, supplies can be found inexpensively if you shop around and give yourself time to prepare. Building a beer pong table is a fun activity that will bond you with your friends and roommates. Everywhere I looked, there was inspiration galore. And when ballers are inspired, they win.

On Saturdays we watch football, but Saturday night is a whole other ball game.

HIGH END

Partypong.com, c5beerpong.com and ledbeerpongtables.com are all great sites that have different options for the baller that doesn’t mind spending some extra cash when starting his/her beer pong dynasty.

THRIFTY

You can always check out Target and Walmart for folding tables if you don’t want to spend that much dough when getting started. HackCollege.com also has easy-to-follow instructions to set up a table using 30 bucks and duct tape, and who knows: the amount you save on buying a table can free up your expenses in order to treat yourself to something other than Burnetts.

CREATIVE

Stores like Jerry’s Home Improvement or The Home Depot are perfect places to look for the foundations for your creative masterpiece. The University of Oregon Bookstore or other local art shops will give you the inspirational craving that will help mold your beer pong legacy.

Congratulations! You’ve made it out of the dorm and no one, including your RA, parents or mouth-breathing roommate, can stop you now! To save you a few awkward phone calls to the parental units, we’ve compiled a list of legal tips and helpful hints to make sure that your home away from home is everything you dreamed of. If legal jargon has got you down, we’ve got you covered.

LANDLORDSHABITABILITY STANDARDS (WHAT DOES IT MEAN?)Let’s face it. Your place isn’t a palace of dreams - it smells like mold, there’s no hot water and your appliances have a mind of their own - but luckily for you, there is a limit to just how much it can legally suck. The Oregon Renters Law has set specific standards for landlords and their properties regarding safety, health and cleanliness. Every residential rental unit in Oregon, regardless of price, must meet certain legal standards for the condition of their units. These are called "habitability" standards and cover plumbing, electricity, safety and weather-proofing your home.

RENTER’S INSURANCE (WHAT DOES IT MEAN?)If television has taught us anything over the years, it’s that bad things happen when we least expect it. There’s an easy way to prevent that sinking feeling in your stomach that comes from seeing your possessions destroyed or stolen: be insured. Renter’s insurance will cover you from a break-in to your car to a burst water pipe in your home that destroys your belongings. This insurance provides coverage both for the insured's belongings and for liability that may result from an accident in the insured's home. Many policies cover replacement cost, meaning that the insured will receive the money necessary to purchase a new item that is equivalent to the damaged one.

RIGHT OF ENTRY (WHAT DOES IT MEAN?)Your landlord can legally go on the rental property but may not enter your unit without a 24 hour notification of entry or a pre-agreement that you signed in your lease. If there is an emergency like a burst pipe or gas leak, your landlord may come into your unit unannounced - but they must tell you that they entered your unit within 24 hours of entry and give you

a list of the people who entered. It’s a legal right to enter upon land in the possession of another for a special purpose (as of an owner to show land to a prospective purchaser or of a landlord to make repairs) without being guilty of a trespass.

ROOMATESOK, so you’ve signed the contract. You and your buddies are going to go live it up together, which is great, but here are some things to consider while sharing your living space with other human beings (or non-human — we’re not here to judge)

COMMUNICATIONUO’s own Roommate Agreement states that the key to being a good roommate is “communication and respect,” but what they really mean is: be assertive, not passive aggressive. Simply be upfront with your roommate. If something is bothering you, say so. This applies to pretty much all areas of roommate collaboration: communicate when planning a party, when paying bills, when cleaning up and when considering using your roommate’s loofah.

CHORE WHEELMaybe some roommates just have a silent understanding about who does what around the house, but for most of us mere mortals, chores and responsibilities - like scrubbing out the weird food-beast living in the microwave - rarely happens unless a mutual agreement is reached. As an added bonus, having a responsibility sheet usually negates the constant need to nag: you’re not scolding, it’s just on the chart!

FAMILY TIME “Family time” with the roommate(s) is an important part of any functional relationship. If you already enjoy each other’s company, that extra dinner or movie together doesn’t let that supportive bond you’ve built fade into nonexistence (or worse, hostile territory). And if you’re better off in separate rooms, sharing a kitchen in civil silence is fine too, as long as you’re not quietly planning each other’s demise when you’re apart.

NEIGHBORSYour neighbors are like roommates-once-removed, especially if you’re living in an apartment building; a thin wall isn’t too much separation between you and whoever’s on the other side. Always communicate with your neighbors when you are going to have parties, and work out a system between your two households about what to do if it gets too loud. HOURS NOTICE

We’ve all been there: your roommate’s eating fistfuls of granola at three in the morning, your shower caddy is soapy with yesterday’s suds, and your posters keeps flopping off your cinderblock walls - and onto your face. Nothing about this really screams “comfy.” When your dorm room just doesn’t feel like home, we’ve got some tips for classing up your space so you can bunker down comfortably.

PLANTSFor those of us who are about as nurturing as the Sahara, there’s always the succulent route. These plants — ranging from aloe vera to cacti, depending on who you ask — thrive in arid climates and generally don’t mind being forgotten about. Most of them only need direct sunlight and water once a month, making them suitable for any environment, even for the least capable of green thumbs.

OPEN SHELVESDorm rooms are filled with open shelves, and they’re not exactly easy on the eyes. Try organizing your books by color, lining your shelves with decorative washi tape, and placing the stray photo or plant between your essentials to help class up those particleboard ledges you’ve got nailed above your desk.

DEALING WITH NOISETrouble sleeping with all the noise in, around, and outside your dorm room? Earplugs made for construction workers are cheap, effective, and come in packs made for whole teams of jack-hammer enthusiasts. White noise generators can also be helpful in blocking out undesirable commotion, and if you don’t exactly find whale songs soothing, a small desk fan serves practically the same purpose.

ROOMMATE RESPECTLiving in such close quarters, it’s easy to grind each other’s gears. If you’re a kind and compassionate human, you’ll consider setting your morning alarm on vibrate and resisting the urge to hit the “snooze” button multiple times. And if you’re a heavy sleeper, and these alarm tips simply aren’t going to work for you? Consider buying your roommate coffee once in a while as an apology for your unresponsive self.

SUNLIGHTIf you’re a person whose beauty sleep is constantly interrupted by the rarely-seen Eugene sun (or if you just enjoy living like a vampire), blackout curtains can be installed over your window without being nailed, screwed, or punched through your dorm room wall. Spending a few minutes hanging one with a tension rod means you’re no longer obligated to get up when the sun tells you to.

It’s November—we all know what that means; the leaves are falling, it’s getting cold, and the 2015 Career Fair will be shortly upon us. For those who have never attended the University of Oregon Career Fair; picture a room full of tables, banners, formal attire and employers—that’s right, lots of highly esteemed employers from all over the United States. These are not just regular employers though; these are employers who have travelled specifically to Eugene so that they can hire Ducks. This means that if you are currently job searching—these people are literally sitting at your doorstep. While this is exceptionally good news for many, for others it can be the onset of tough decision-making—especially those who have several different pathways to choose from in terms of post-college jobs.

I recently had the privilege of sitting down and talking with Dani Amtmann—a Career Counselor at the UO Career Center. Amtmann was able to answer students’ questions and concerns about how to prepare for the Career Fair.

Why is the career fair important? Why would you recommend going?I think this actually has to do with what year somebody’s in. As a freshman or a sophomore it is a great idea to go just to get an idea for what a career fair feels like. They can be huge and completely overwhelming—this next one we’re having is going to have upwards of 120 employers. Walking into a room that has tables, banners, all sorts of commercials and colors and then swarms of students you don’t know can be really intimidating—just getting acclimatized to it can be very helpful. Also, more pragmatically for upperclassmen—this is one of the few occasions where employers are actually seeking you out, so take advantage of it! I’ve known many students who have gotten job offers from forming relationships with employers at the Career Fair.

What if I’m not ready/looking for a job?It’s good practice—going and meeting an employer. They tend to be friendly people. They’re really impressed when someone has an introductory speech prepared—but they’re ready to talk to you at any level. And learning—what does it feel like introducing yourself to a stranger? What kind of questions do they ask you? What are other students asking them?

Is the Career Fair free for all students?We are actually able to put on career fairs because employers pay to attend them—but there’s no cost for students and even alumni can come too.

What advice would you give someone who is trying to prepare for the Career fair? The more preparation someone can do the better. Ideally, first and foremost go to the website and see who’s coming. Yes, there are 117 employers, but who’s going to be there? The more you can get a sense for those organizations that are out there, great. I usually recommend narrowing in on a list of 10 companies that

you really want to make sure to talk to. Narrow down, and do the most research on the top 3-5 companies you’re interested in. I always recommend that when you first get to the Career Fair, introduce yourself to some people who aren't on your list first, so that you can warm up and then make sure you budget your time.

What should they wear?Women, I’d say some nice slacks or a skirt, a buttoned down blouse or shirt; men can wear a tie. Some people actually wear a full suit with a jacket—it’s not uncommon. As a general rule I would say dressing well isn’t going to count against you and will likely help make a good impression.

Should I prepare di�erent resumes for the Career Fair?I would bring a stack full-I’d want to have enough so that I could offer it freely. I usually suggest bringing a general resume, which highlights your general skills and strengths. But if there’s a position with a company that you’re definitely targeting, you can create a targeted resume for them.

If an employer I’m interested in gives me their contact info—how can I follow up with them?Get their card and give them your resume. With LinkedIn, I would ask. Personally, I’d want to have enough of a rapport with that person so that I can ask them, “Oh can I reach out and connect with you on LinkedIn?” Some professionals just link to everybody, but the way I learned it and the way I understood it—I wouldn’t link with someone I didn’t feel I could make a referral to—it’s just not my style. But you can ask; some people are different. If you’re sending a card to someone you want to connect with, trying to reference something about what the recruiter said or something about the company that really struck you is better than just a generic thank you, and then maybe following up in a couple weeks. Students can take an extra step when networking and send an article, like ‘Oh we had talked about this and I found this

article and I thought you would find it interesting.’ In that case you are not just taking from a recruiter, you’re also giving back.

What kind of questions should I be asking employers?It depends how much research you do. The more research you do about a company, the more you can develop strategic questions—so you’re not just asking ’What do you do?’ Again, the more you can show initiative, the better. Definitely avoid asking questions such as, ‘how much does this job pay?” or ‘how much vacation time would I get?’ things that might show that you are more interested in benefits than the work. Good questions are the ones that fall under the subjective question category, such as ‘what do you love about working for this company,’-something that you couldn’t just learn from a website.

How can I learn as much as I can about the employer I am interested in?Website; first and foremost—and different parts of their website too. A company’s mission statement is important to them, and there is a lot that you can learn in the language the company uses. Is the feeling, ‘we’re fun and innovative?’ or ‘we’re serious and straightforward?’ I would also do a Google search—they may have been in the news recently. Most companies have LinkedIn groups, blogs or Twitters. There’s a lot of information that you can read—keep it professional.

Do you have any suggestions for making a good  rst impression? The more a student can say about themselves, what their skills are and what they are looking for—which is pretty high-level stuff—the better. Introductory speeches are useful in giving employers information about you—both in what you are saying but also what you are not saying.

Don’t Wait till Spring!There are three main recruitment seasons, Fall, Winter, and Spring. Contrary to what you may think, Doug says that Fall recruiting is when companies are aiming to find full-time candidates for June and begin their internship searches, so don’t wait until Spring to begin your search! He stresses that this Fall Career Fair is unique in that over 100 employers, the largest in UO’s history, “are specifically targeting students that attend UO and will be graduating with a UO degree.” Winter tends to be when companies are looking for summer interns or quality candidates for a full-time position. The Spring Career Fair is for companies to finish filling their internship positions or any full-time job openings that remain.

Be PreparedDoug suggests that before going to the Career Fair, have an idea of what you are there to do and spend some time researching organizations. Are you looking for a job, internship, or networking? Knowing this information will prevent you from feeling lost in a sea of business casual. Secondly, make sure you update (or put together) a resume and bring copies. Lastly, practice a 15-30 second elevator pitch that clearly expresses “what you are looking for, what you have, and what you want.” Doug points out that employers are looking to hire young adults and presenting yourself in professional attire and making good eye contact makes a big difference. For career fair prep help, check out the Career Center’s website or call to make an appointment.

I have all these employers’ business cards, what now?Doug recommends getting employers’ business cards, jotting down some notes about them, and sending them a personalized thank you note after the fair. If you are confident about your LinkedIn profile, connect with them on LinkedIn as well (the Career Center can help you with this too). Employers will talk to so many students, and Doug is always impressed if the student takes the first initiative. “If I have a (potential) employ-ee proactively follow up with me, that makes my life a lot easier, and that really says something about that person.”

Fall Term is in full swing, and there is no time like the present for you to start thinking about possible careers. Whether you are a senior looking to be a full time employee come June, or you are first-year just wanting to dip your feet in the pond, every Duck can gain invaluable information at the Fall Career Fair, November 12th. I spoke with Doug Rice, Talent Acquisition Manager at Enterprise Holdings and a career fair connoisseur, to hear the inside scoop on everything you need to know about recruitment seasons, first-year student opportunities, and how you can stand out amongst the crowd.

Career Fair Flops“There is not safety in numbers at the career fair. When you have other people with you, the employer tends to lump you in with the group,” Doug remarks. Although we encourage you to bring your friends, we suggest splitting up to stand out and ensure you get one-on-one time with employers. Doug says another pitfall is overlooking the lesser-known companies at the fair. “Everybody would love to go talk to the Microsoft booth or the Nike booth because those are well-known, well-marketed brands, we know those brands as consumers. However, there are a lot of very good companies that you may not consider that are great in their industry.” Thirdly, Doug thinks the worst thing that a student can say when approached by a potential employer is that they are just “looking for a job.” Saying this doesn’t set you apart, but your elevator pitch will.

What about First-Years?Doug says underclassman should definitely attend the Fall Career Fair because, “it’s a great way to work on your interpersonal skills. The person you are as a freshman is not the person you are going to be when you graduate, a lot of that has to do with your confidence, articulation, and communication skills. What better way to work on those communication skills than to engage with professionals, who are speaking that professional language already.” Don’t know your major yet? Even more of a reason to come to the fair. If a company piques your interest, you can learn what they’re looking for and it may help you discover some areas of study.

For the second year, the Career Center is featuring a VIP tour for first-year students at the UO, which includes a behind the scenes look at the organizations and a networking prep workshop. Register online at the Career Center’s website.

Why should you go?Doug says, “the career fair is the one time in your working life where people will be coming to talk to you specifically, and you can learn so much more about a company culture by talking to a representative than reading their webpage. By going to the career fair you have everything to win and nothing to lose. The skills you get, the connections you make, and the opportuni-ties that are right there—unbelievable.”
