🔦 NEWS

In October, journalism professor Kathryn Kuttis asked 300 of her students to tweet about parking at the University of Oregon as a way to express their concerns with the system.

Using the hashtag #ipayforitbuthey, students revealed their frustrations with parking at the university, bringing up the lack of available parking spaces and the high cost of parking meters.

“I wanted to give them a voice,” Kuttis said.

Kuttis, who pays $300 to $400 dollars a year for her parking pass, has had her own negative experiences with parking. She received a ticket for not displaying her pass in her car and said she was not notified by the university of events that could interfere with finding a parking spot.

According to Gwendolyn Bolden, director of parking and transportation, the university has about 4,100 parking spots, but has lost some due to the ongoing construction taking place on campus. However, the spaces are expected to be replaced before the next large scale construction project. Bolden also believes that parking conditions have improved since last year.

“We have more users following the rules, so parking is writing less citations and selling more parking permits. We will continue to seek out alternative forms of transportation,” Bolden said.

Bolden confirmed that there have been complaints about not enough parking spaces on

campus. However, she also stated that the university will replace parking along the perimeter of campus and not in the center.

In regards to complaints about parking and transportation’s lack of communication about upcoming events, Bolden stated that all upcoming events that have the potential to affect parking are listed on the department’s website. Advanced notices are also placed at the entrance of affected areas.

Like Kuttis, School of Journalism and Communication intern Karly Tarsia is frustrated by the lack of on-campus parking. Though Tarsia bought a parking pass in order to have easy access to the building she works in, she hasn’t been able to find any open parking spots in her designated lot.

Bolden said that parking and transportation is working to improve the system by partnering with regional transit and is looking to “enhance the alternative transportation options” such as car share, bike share and EMX buses.

According to Tarsia, when she went to the Parking and Transportation office she was told that there wasn’t anything they could do. She was also told to park in a lot four blocks away from where she works and to take the EMX to work.

“If I am paying for a permit, I should have a spot, no questions asked,” Tarsia said. “The fact [that] I don’t and have to move my car every two hours to find parking is unreal.”

🔦 NEWS

Two insurance brokers are arguing in court over who was at fault, if anyone, for a failed insurance policy the University of Oregon bought. The policy covered coaches’ bonuses if the Oregon Ducks played exceptionally well in the 2012-2013 football season. The Ducks had a good season, but the insurance didn’t pay out.

In 2012, UO signed a contract with Chip Kelly and his coaching staff, stating that the coaches would receive bonuses if the team did well in the upcoming season. The coaches would receive the maximum bonus if the Ducks won the BCS National Championship and had a fantastic regular season. They would receive smaller bonuses for a less fantastic season.

In July of 2012, the university was negotiating an insurance policy with Delaware-based insurance broker Marsh U.S. Consumer that would pay these bonuses. Marsh, however, was not the university’s default insurance provider, so UO was forced to renegotiate the contract through their official insurance broker, Arthur J. Gallagher and Risk Management Services, Inc.

Monica Drummer was the AJG agent who renegotiated the contract. To avoid starting from scratch, she communicated with Marsh to try and settle the same contract.

The renegotiations were rushed. It was early September, and the Ducks had already played one game, beating Arkansas State 57-34 at Autzen Stadium.

During the negotiations, the university noticed that the insurance agreement appeared to only pay out if the team received the maximum bonus. The university asked Drummer about the specifics, and she replied that the university would be reimbursed for smaller bonuses, not just the maximum. At least, she said, that’s what Marsh told her.

The Ducks had a great 2012 season, with only an overtime loss to Stanford keeping them from the Championship. They beat Kansas State 35-17 in the Fiesta Bowl and ended the season ranked fifth in the nation. Altogether, the coaches received $687,965.74 in bonuses.

The insurance didn’t pay for it. According to the contract, the university’s early suspicions were right: Insurance would only pay for the maximum bonuses possible.

“The bonuses were paid out of the athletic department’s budget,” Laura McGinnis, a UO representative, said. The university otherwise declined to comment, citing pending litigation.

UO sued Drummer and her employer AJG in January of 2015, stating, “As a result of

Drummer’s representations, the university agreed to the contract and was subsequently bound to an insurance policy that failed to cover the lesser performance bonuses,” according to court documents.

In response, Drummer and AJG brought in a third party complaint, alleging that they committed no wrong. If wrong was committed, they said, it was the original insurance broker, Marsh, who mislead the university.

“Any damages and harm to [UO] ought to be discharged by the Third-Party Defendant Marsh as its conduct was the active and primary cause of the damages and harm, if any,” they said in court documents.

Marsh responded, denying all claims. UO is now waiting for the courts to decide who will be the defendant.

Others are not so sure the fault lies with the insurance companies. “Why would the university do this and then not even read the contract?” economics professor and University Senate Vice President Bill Harbaugh said.

The trial is in the district court of Oregon. Judge Ann Aiken is presiding over the case. Currently, Marsh is still part of the lawsuit, although some of Drummer’s claims have been dismissed.

Everybody has a backstory, but some are a bit wackier than others. Few can say that before they were at the University of Oregon earning a PhD, they spent their days jumping around on all fours as Max the Dog for the Disney on Ice production of The Little Mermaid. For Barton Howe, a graduate teaching fellow in the School of Journalism and Communication, this is his wacky reality.

Jordyn Brown: How does one get a job as a dog for Disney on Ice?Barton Howe: What I was [originally] hired as was a tour

coordinator … I happened to be there when they were building Little Mermaid on Ice, coming up with the costumes and sets. And here was this job as Max the dog that didn’t require skating. And I remember thinking: “I want that job!” But I didn’t have the guts to ask for it. I wasn’t physically in shape for it, and there were just a whole lot of reasons why it wasn’t going to happen.

JB: So how did it happen?BH: I went back on the road with my show … and I was walking

home from the ice arena where we were performing back to our hotel, and I got hit by a bus.

It broke pretty much every major bone on the left side of my body. I was in a wheelchair for weeks, months maybe, crutches for more, many surgeries. … The flip side of it was I was doing physical therapy three or four hours a day so I ended up getting in shape by accident.

I just kinda decided, “I’m gonna ask for the job.” It’s not like if they said no, it would kill me. And they said yes. So I ended up learning the part and became the fourth understudy. Then in one day, I went from fourth understudy to the only person that could do the

job. In one day everyone went out with injuries, and long-term injuries (broken hand, broken back). So I ended up as the dog.

JB: Was this a particularly dangerous career? BH: As the dog, I ruptured a bicep because I was always

running on my arms … Another time, I got nailed right in the side of the head by a skater … She gave me a concussion and I was out for two weeks.

JB: How did you move on the ice if you didn’t skate?BH: On my back legs I wore a pair of spiked golf shoes, on my

front … [I would wear] a pole with a brace that wraps around the bicep...they essentially made my arms as long as my legs. And they were basically on big springs, like I was running on shock absorbers … So when I ran I was essentially running on four sets of big teeth, so I wouldn’t slip and slide on the ice.

JB: What was the best part of being Max?BH: When you come running out onto the ice for the first time,

and you have 15,000 people who are yelling and screaming just for a few seconds because they think you’re awesome. I played the Portland Rose Garden and it was sold out, and just to hear 10,000 people screaming for you is awesome.

JB: What made you decide to become a PhD student of journalism?

BH: I was always one of those people [before my accident] that was afraid of offending people, afraid of rejection. I just kind of made up my mind that everything I’ve ever wanted to do, I’m going to go do it, or at the very least I’m going to ask.

CAMPUS CRIME THE BIG THREE

Spencer View, a university-owned apartment complex located about a mile away from the UO main campus, is no stranger to safety concerns. Complaints about crime sprees from the complex’s residents go back as far as 2006.

It’s also been home to the most crimes in the campus area over the past year: 39.

The majority of the crimes reported at Spencer View are generally in line with the rest of the campus area, just at a much higher volume — namely theft.

Kelly McIver, public information officer for the UOPD, thinks that the high theft rate might stem more from the high concentration of people rather than a naturally crime intensive area.

“Any time you’ve got a living situation where you’ve got many units, every one of those units potentially has a vehicle connected to it, if it’s parked there,” McIver said. Spencer View’s proximity to a well-trafficked street is likely a contributing factor as well.

Derek Landon, a Lane Community College student who lived next to the complex for two years, said he would often see police cars at the apartments as he came

Last week, the University of Oregon Police Department sent out two campus crime alerts: One for aggravated assault, one for armed robbery.

These crime alerts and advisory warnings students receive from the UOPD only show a glimpse of criminal activity on campus each week. The Emerald gathered data on all crimes reported to the UOPD between Nov. 24, 2014 and Nov. 24, 2015: A year at UO in crime.

These numbers refer to crimes committed on UO property and dealt with by the UOPD. For this map, Drug and Liquor Violations were omitted in order to focus the data more toward crimes concerning public safety.

The most common crimes were:Theft: 92 incidents were reported in almost every

major building or parking lot on campus. This number excludes bike thefts, which are common enough to warrant their own category.

Warrant arrests: Warrant arrests came in second and tended to congregate in areas slightly off campus, such as the Baker Center Downtown and the Riverfront Research Park.

Bike thefts: Often considered a rampant problem on campus and in the greater Eugene community, bike theft makes up its own category, with 64 reports.

The Riverfront just beyond Franklin Boulevard is the third heaviest area for crime around campus, and UOPD officers have been called to this area more than anywhere else for warrant arrests. The park is host to a number of research facilities, some affiliated with UO.

Criminal trespassing is another frequent crime in the area. According to McIver, those crimes are usually less about students and more about the homeless population in Eugene.

“[Those charges] are usually going to derive from illegal camping on university property,” McIver said. “So those are in locations

where people are found to be camping illegally on the property or otherwise on university property in those areas … and conducting illegal activity, and upon contact we’re finding that they have outstanding warrants.”

Often times those warrant arrests are for failure to appear in court, but in some cases it’s for more serious charges such as violating parole, according to McIver.

The UO Riverfront is relatively free of the most common campus crimes such as theft, but it’s one of the more dangerous places for students to wander around alone.

Crime in the library is all “opportunity-based,” according to McIver.

The Knight Library had the second highest number of reported crimes last year. Theft was the most common, with 10 incidents reported. Theft is common in large buildings with constant traffic, according to the UOPD. The library adds another opportunity for thieves, as students studying often keep to themselves.

Knight Library is open to students 24 hours a day most term days, which makes it a likely target for people looking to steal expensive equipment like laptops or cell phones.

“There’s definitely a criminal population that knows if they go in there, they may well be able to find instances where people have left their things on a table while they’ve gotten up to go bring back a book,” McIver said. “Then they can surreptitiously take stuff without anybody really noticing.”

To combat crime, the university installed lockers for students to keep valuable possessions. After midnight, security officers are stationed at the front of the library, checking student IDs.

Seven incidents of “criminal mischief” were reported at the library, the most of any location on campus. These usually involve people horsing around or otherwise not obeying the library’s noise ordinances.

“There are people who’ll go in there and they will use the facilities inappropriately or do other things that are inappropriate for people to do in a public space,” McIver said.

An example of weird crime at the library: This summer, a man walked into Knight Library and claimed he had a gun. The man then fled and was arrested for interfering with the police and disorderly conduct.

home. He added, however, that “it didn’t seem like it was anything too different from any other complex.”

While high numbers can be troubling at a glance, it’s not always a negative. It could mean that more people are reporting crimes, according to Leah Andrews, the director of marketing and communications for University Housing.

“University Housing works closely with residents to report any incidents that occur to the police,” Andrews said. “This focus on a ‘see something, say something’ approach may actually lead to more police reports.”

While the theft and other small crimes at Spencer View might be unavoidable, the apartment complex has also seen a few more serious crimes over the past year including DUIIs, burglary and failure to register a sex offender.

The high theft rates aren’t going unnoticed, either. Andrews says that precautions are being taken.

“University Housing representatives from Spencer View recently met with the UOPD to discuss additional safety measures, like improved lighting and closed circuit cameras,” Andrews said.

VOLLEYBALL SEASON WRAP

➡ R Y A N K O S T E C K A , @ R YA N _ K O S T E C K A

On a cold winter night in Madison, Wisconsin, the Oregon volleyball team’s season came to an end. After a late season surge into the NCAA tournament, the Ducks were matched up with No. 6 Wisconsin in the first round of the tournament.

Even though Oregon showed lots of fight, the Ducks came up short as they were defeated 3-1 (25-18, 21-25, 25-21, 25-19), thus ending their season. It wasn’t the way seniors Martenne Bettendorf and Chelsey Keoho hoped their college careers would end, but the Badgers proved to be too much to handle.

But the way Oregon’s season ended was far from where it started.

Head coach Jim Moore acknowledged he didn’t know what to expect from his underclassmen-loaded team when the season began, but quickly found out what his team was made of on its first road trip.

The Ducks began their season with nine consecutive road games across four different states in the span of 12 days. During that road trip, the Ducks faced Florida and Nebraska, two of the 16 teams remaining in the tournament.

Oregon emerged from that trip with a 6-3 record, but according to Moore, at least one of the losses was the fault of the coaching staff due to the scheduling of the matches. More importantly though,

the Ducks returned a closer-knit team, with a better understanding of what it’s like play in a hostile environment — and, most importantly, with a running mate for Bettendorf.

Freshman Lindsey Vander Weide was arguably Oregon’s best and most consistent player through the first half of the season. Vander Weide took home the Pac-12 Freshman Player of the Week honors during the road trip, when she averaged 3.17 kills per set in matches against George Washington, Florida and Nebraska, and totaled 15 kills against George Washington and 20 against Nebraska.

The Ducks appeared to have found an identity in the match against George Washington, when they fell behind 2-0 but rallied to win the next three sets and steal the victory.

But once Oregon retuned home and began Pac-12 play, the Ducks’ inability to finish out close sets proved to be its demise throughout conference competition.

“We start to play timid,” Vander Weide said after Oregon’s 3-1 loss to UCLA on Oct. 23. “Instead of pounding the ball, we try to take some off and it goes into the block.”

“Just real disappointed that we couldn’t finish,” Moore added after the UCLA loss.

“We didn’t put the ball on the floor at crunch time.”

The Ducks played 75 sets against Pac-12 foes and lost by five or less points in 26 of them. So in one out of every three sets the Ducks lost in conference, competition was tight until the end.

“It’s real disappointing,” Moore said after Oregon’s 3-2 loss to Colorado on Oct. 2. “We’re just really struggling with confidence.”

Because of those struggles, Oregon entered the last third of conference play with a 5-8 record, on the outside looking in when the NCAA Tournament came around. Moore’s team, led by the play of Bettendorf, Vander Weide, Frankie Shebby and Taylor Agost, rallied to win five of its final seven games, including upsets over then-ranked No. 9 UCLA and No. 23 Arizona State to ensure the season lasted into December.

Vander Weide earned All-Pac-12 first team honors, as well as All-Freshman honors, and libero Amanda Benson earned an All-Pac-12 honorable mention for the third consecutive year.

Considering the circumstances, Oregon rallied around its youth and got its corps of young, returning players the experience they need to make a deeper run in the Pac-12 and NCAA tournament over the upcoming seasons.

📣 OPINION

PA G E 1 0 E M E R A L D M O N DAY, D E C E M B E R 7 , 2 0 1 5

After classes, you sit at home bored, trying to find something to do. You look at your calendar and realize with a shock that you haven’t exercised in more than a week. You sigh and lace up your tennis shoes. You suppose you should go work out. You walk over and stare at the huge imposing structure that is bound to be filled with students ridiculously more in shape than you are. It is the University of Oregon Student Recreation Center, and here are some thoughts that may pop up in students’ minds when they walk through its doors.

1. “ Wow, this place is nice. Look! They have giant TVs!”

Walking through the front doors, you are dumped in the huge open front lobby. Perked on the wall are multiple giant TVs showing the sporting events of the day and night. You pause. “Could I get away with sitting and watching TV for a workout?” Hey, you’re at the Rec Center. You made the walk over. You could totally sit around watching TV. They wouldn’t have these here if they didn’t want you to use them.

2. “How the hell does this even work?”You are at one of the many weight lifting

machines. You stand there casually trying to appear like you know what you are doing. In your head, you are frantically scanning the instructions. You don’t even know what body part supposedly gets a workout from this particular machine. Sighing and not wanting to look like a fool, you walk away to a different machine and start the process over again.

3. “How is this person not even breaking a sweat, yet I’m here panting like a dog?”

The person on the treadmill next to you has perfect posture even in a full sprint. They’ve been running for a half hour and they are breathing like they are walking. You, however,

have been running for all of five minutes. You feel like you are going to die and desperately want to take a break. How fast is this person even going? You glance over. Faster than you are, naturally. You bump up the speed. You find yourself competing with your neighbor without them even knowing it, and you still aren’t winning.

4. “How much longer should I stay?”You’ve only been at the gym for 20 minutes,

but it feels like 20 hours. So far, you have run, or rather jogged, on the treadmill and contemplated lifting weights. You didn’t actually lift weights, but hey, at least you thought about it. “How much longer should I stay?” you think to yourself. “Can’t I just go home and lie in bed?” You decide to stick it out and stay just a little bit longer.

5. “Oh look at that! I should definitely do that the next time I go to the gym.”

You wander around aimlessly, looking at all the different equipment and classes the Rec Center has to offer. You pick out different things to do the next time you build up the motivation to work out. Not this time, but next time you will totally use all those machines. You plan the perfect workout in your head.

6. “Well, I’m bored.”You feel as though your time spent at the

gym, mostly walking around and thinking about exercising, has given you enough of a workout. You find yourself glancing at the clock, waiting for the appropriate time to leave. Eventually, you walk out the front door and start on your way home to your nice, comfortable bed and your warm home. You are proud of yourself for going to the gym. Who knows, maybe next time you’ll even manage to do a full workout.
