ATHLETETHE MARCUS MARIOTA SPORTS PERFORMANCE COMPLEX IS SET TO COMPLETE THIS FALL.

The $19.2 million facility features a myriad of high-tech, expensive features. Construction has revitalized the debate regarding Oregon’s funding of the athletic over the academic.

After a year of speculation, Kanye West finally announced the release date for his upcoming album Swish: Feb. 11. But we’re no less confused.

Has there ever been a more baffling album roll-out? All the songs Kanye’s released since 2013’s Yeezus sound completely different, and he’s confirmed only one of them for the album “Wolves,” which he hasn’t even released in studio form. In the meantime, we’re stuck guessing whether Swish will be a sonic sequel to Yeezus (as evidenced by “Wolves,” “Fade”), a confessional exorcism (“Only One,” “Real Friends”), a relatively conventional collection of bangers (“Facts,” “All Day”) or a grotesque combination of all these things.

He’s dropping new music every Friday until the album release, but it’s unclear if whatever he releases will answer any of our burning questions. Until then, here’s a profile of the songs, their odds of being on the album and the clues they might provide about this mysterious record.

Song: “Wolves/Fade”Description: Harsh, industrial

sound experiments similar to Yeezus. He’s only performed the former live and only played the latter while DJing at events.

Odds of being on the album: 7 in 8. Kanye has said “Wolves” will be the first track on Swish, which is the most he has said as to album content. “Fade” is too weird to be a stand-alone single.

Song: “Real Friends/No More Parties In LA (Snippet)”

Description: The former is a minimal confessional similar to his 2010 cut “Gorgeous.” The latter features Kendrick Lamar, but that’s all we know.

Odds: 4 in 5. It’s unlikely Kanye would release a “snippet” of

something that’s not going to be on his album.

Song: “All Day.”Description: A fairly conventional

banger indebted to drill, a regional hip hop style from Kanye’s native Chicago.

Odds: 3 in 4. It’s received several Grammy nods, and he promoted it with a fiery performance at the Brit Awards. It’s maybe the most visible Swish contender alongside “Only One.”

Song: “Only One”Description: A tender ballad

featuring Kanye singing from the perspective of his mother over weightless keys from Paul McCartney.

Odds: 3 in 5. It was the first single, it has a video and it charted pretty well. Simply put, it’s the post-Yeezus song Kanye’s invested the most in. Still, he hasn’t dropped anything else that sounds like it except “FourFiveSeconds.”

Song: “FourFiveSeconds”Description: A short, Beatles-

indebted collaboration with Rihanna and McCartney.

Odds: 1 in 3. It’s already confirmed to be on Rihanna’s Anti, but it’s not unheard of for pop collaborations such as this to appear on more than one of the artists’ albums; Jack U’s collaboration with Justin Bieber, “Where Are U Now,” appeared on both artists’ albums.

Song: “Facts”Description: A reinterpretation

of Drake and Future’s “Jumpman,” replete with timely references.

Odds: 1 in 5. “I ain’t dropped the album but my shoes went platinum,” Kanye spits. This line is going to sound awfully strange once he actually drops Swish.

It’s an ice cold morning just a little after 1 a.m. on Dec. 26. University of Oregon senior Demiliza Saramosing and her sister are asleep. The two are awoken by the doorbell, but become startled by the sound of glass breaking. One moment there’s confusion, and the next, Saramosing is on the phone with Eugene Police Department reporting a burglary attempt.

“I was trembling and so scared when I was on the phone with the operator,” Saramosing said. “I was more scared because I was in a position where I felt like I couldn’t protect my sister.”

Saramosing was house sitting for her significant other during the attempted burglary. She was so frightened that she couldn’t provide the exact address to the operator that morning.

As EPD arrived, Saramosing remained on the line with the operator. She and her sister were too frightened to leave the bedroom, so EPD broke down the door and assured them they were safe.

It was comforting for Saramosing that nothing was stolen and that she helped prevent a burglary from happening.

“I knew beforehand of break-ins and burglaries over break, but I never thought it would have happened to me,” Saramosing said. “Especially because I had lived in the same apartment earlier this year and it had never happened before.”

Aware of the incident, Dean of Students Paul Shang reached out to offer support services to Saramosing.

“The Office of the Dean of Students has many functions,” Shang said. “When we learn about student emergencies we try to provide support services, referrals, counseling and provide any type of assistance a student may need. So when I wrote to Demi, I wanted her to know that we were here to provide any arrangements she may need.”

The Office of the Dean of Students is open 24/7 and is a helpful resource on campus. The University Health Center can also help in these situations.

“I’ve never actually thought about where I could go to get help/resources if I was involved in a burglary,” junior Taylor Barnhart said. “I don’t think most students know where to seek help from the UO if they are involved in situations like burglary, theft or even reporting a crime. I know counseling is available, but I don’t think students are aware that it can be used for situations like this.”

Just before every winter break, EPD and UOPD send out a message covering crime prevention over break.

“I do not think were have been informed enough about this particular issue,” Barnhart said. “I know our housing company gave us some information and tips about leaving over break, but I don’t think we’re informed too much about the increased risk over break.”

DEAN OF STUDENTS BREAK-IN RESPONSE

“I knew beforehand of break-ins and burglaries over break, but I never thought it would have happened to me.” DEMILIZA SARAMOSING, UO senior

Oregon Hall, home of the Office of the Dean of Students.

STUDENT ATHLETES have special tutors in the $41 million Jaqua Center. The rest of the student body is tutored in the basement of Prince Lucien Campbell Hall.

Student athletes can study in chairs made of Ferrari leather on floors made of Brazilian Ipe wood in the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex. The rest of the student body studies wherever Wi-Fi is good.

And soon, student athletes will be able to catch a nap in rest pods, work out in a boxing ring and improve their form with 3D image-capturing technology in the $19.2 million Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Center.

With the construction of this new athletes-only performance facility breaking ground this month, critics are raising questions about the University of Oregon’s priorities and whether athletes are put on a pedestal above the rest of the student body.

To build this center, UO went around the world gathering ideas — even going to NASA. The focus is mostly recovery: There will be therapy available for athletes and big areas for stretching and foam-rolling.

UO isn’t actually putting up the money to build the complex. The initial construction costs are $19.2 million, according to a building permit the university filed in November, and the complex is funded by Nike co-founder and chairman Phil Knight. The center is expected to be 29,000 square feet when completed, according to materials from the Board of Trustees.

That doesn’t mean UO isn’t investing in this complex. Power, maintenance and paying two full-time staff members will probably come out of athletics’ budget, but it’s not clear yet how much that’s going to be, according to Craig Pintens, a spokesperson for athletics. The Jaqua Center has $2.2 million in academic and operational expenses per academic year, according to Steve Stolp, executive director of services for student athletes. (The athletic department’s budget is partially self-sustained: 29 percent donations and 25 percent ticket sales, according to Pintens.)

These lavish facilities have drawn lots of criticism from the university’s faculty and students. Dana Rognlie, a doctorate student in philosophy who has been a vocal critic of the university for years, calls Knight’s contribution “a private donation to a public university for private use.”

This question came up back when Jaqua was being constructed in 2010. At the time, some faculty told the Emerald that Jaqua was “a symbol of the university’s wrong priorities.”

Carol Stabile, a women’s and gender studies professor and another outspoken critic of the university, points to older buildings on campus with “terrible technological infrastructure” like outdated Wi-Fi. IT has compared the university’s Wi-Fi to “one of the older buildings on campus” and says it needs an upgrade. Stabile points

“WHERE ARE THE BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS FOR THE ACADEMIC SIDE? ...

WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND?”

to other buildings that are full and “bursting at the seams,” like Allen Hall. Many faculty members have been moved out of Allen and into Franklin Hall; they often have to walk 10 minutes to their classrooms.

“Where are the beautiful buildings for the academic side?” Stabile said. “What message does that send?”

Stabile ties sports into a detrimental “party culture” at the university. She calls the culture one of her biggest impediments as a teacher.

“I need to give my students the education they deserve,” Stabile said. “I feel like that disproportionate emphasis [on sports and partying] compromises my ability to do that … on this campus.”

But Phil Knight has also given donations to the academic side. In November 2014, he and his wife gave $50 million to PathwayOregon, a scholarship program for under-privileged students.

And Devon Allen, a wide receiver for UO football and track and field champion, believes he and other athletes need the Mariota Center.

“There’s a lot more stuff that just helps with recovery and helps student athletes perform better,” Allen said.

Critics also wonder what this focus is doing to athletes’ psyches. Stabile says athletes are really segregated from other students: They live, work out, study and get tutoring in separate buildings, and they’re “celebrities” on campus.

Rognlie and Stabile, along with other feminists and sexual assault awareness advocates, believe putting athletes on a pedestal like that could even be connected to past behavioral problems.

At a press conference in May 2014, Rognlie asked UO

men’s basketball coach Dana Altman what sexual assault training his basketball players went through. Three of Altman’s players had just been accused of sexually assaulting a UO student.

“The athletic department has a number of programs that we put our student athletes through at the beginning of each year,” Altman said to her. “One, specifically, for this type of activity, was not done this year.”

Rognlie told an Oregonian reporter at the time that she was “deeply disturbed” by that. Now, she wonders why the university is building athlete-only complexes when all athletes aren’t getting sexual assault training.

“I’m deeply concerned that the focus is more on the players’ well-being and the institution’s well-being rather than the survivor’s well-being,” Rognlie told Altman at the press conference.

Student athletes do go through the same training that every student goes through, a two-hour program called “Get Explicit” that talks about boundaries, consent and social norms. But that’s not enough, Stabile said. She and other members of Oregon’s Sexual Assault Task Force have been asking since November 2014 for more staff and money devoted to fighting sexual assault, and the university has responded, but not in all the ways they asked for.

To them, it’s about where the university is focusing — and they don’t think it should be focusing on complexes exclusive to athletes.

“How does this enhance the real mission of the university?” Stabile said. “You just have to question the priorities of the institution.”

THE DANGERS OF

B Y N E G I N A P I R Z A D, @ N E G I N A P E P I N A

We’re all busy and we all like talking about it – it’s often how we connect with one another, but at what point does stressing ourselves out and over-thinking every little situation becomes unhealthy? Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health problems on college campuses, so it’s time to both recognize this and beat it.

For those of you who are cracking the spines of a new 2016 planner, who take every Buzzfeed quiz that has the word “perfectionist” in it, who are people-pleasers, who routinely add to a never-ending to-do list, who find it odd to have free time, who proofread and continue to re-read texts and posts after they’ve been sent and who religiously live by ‘what ifs’ and the ‘should-woulda-coulda’ paradigm, I’m right there with you.

Being busy, worrying about success and over-thinking situations have become a sort of cultural norm these days where we glorify stress and we try to take advantage of the world in the most efficient ways possible. “Watching, waiting, commiserating” with “all the small things” in life is how we not only integrate Blink-182 into our lives, but how so many of us work to achieve whatever our definitions of happiness may be.

With college being a place full of endless possibilities, and with our workloads constantly being questioned by others and ourselves, hundreds of stressed out over-thinkers are created every day on our campus. College isn’t just a place that makes us grow academically, professionally and socially - it’s also one of the times in our lives when the perfect amount of chaos is presented to us and our minds incessantly try to cope with it all. We form specific mindsets and perspectives that help us to make sense of things.

Sometimes this mental growth involves leaving the chaos, but for myself, and for so many others that I know, it’s the strict mentalities we develop that get us through these four rough years.

Many of us are on the path to becoming pro-jugglers and master multi-taskers with everything going on in our lives, but I personally learned this year that being a hyper-thinker about, all the small things can become too much. From one friend to the next and from one social media post to another, I realized just how many people around me are affected by high levels of stress, anxiety and depression because of the society we live in.

The National Alliance on Mental

Illness researched mental health on U.S. college campuses this year and their study shows that one in four students have a diagnosable illness, but about 40 percent don’t seek any sort of help. They found that around 80 percent of students feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities in college and about 50 percent have been struggling in school because of feeling anxious.

But know, friends, if naturally worrying and stressing about life turns into a cognitive disorder like anxiety, panic, OCD or depression, this doesn’t necessarily mean you will have it for life – it is beatable and we are each others’ greatest resources. There are ways to go back to planning out your days, being positively busy and preparing for anything that might come your way – it just needs attention, time and work.

Talking through the fear and discomfort that mental illness brings isn’t easy, but it is a great way to start treating it or preventing it, if caught early. Discuss what’s happening on the inside and how that affects what you do on the outside. What do you think causes the symptoms?

Along with talking privately to friends and other peers who may be experiencing the same things, campus resources like the Counseling and Testing Center are other means of support.

From talking it through, to directing our energy to things in life other than over-thinking—like writing, drawing, working out, meditating and having fun — it is important for us to examine ourselves and our friends for the possibility of having or developing a serious mental condition.

Mental illness has a history of being a taboo subject. But with all we deal with on a daily basis, at college and with our families back home, life can be scary to manage, and people shouldn’t be suffering silently anymore. Together, we can learn to be in control of ourselves.
