If you like musical puns, tight harmonies and
vocal percussion, this could be your night. Although
YouTube, “Glee” and “The Sing Off” have increased
the popularity of college a cappella, the ICCA —
which began in 1996 — is still the only international
a cappella competition for college students.
Groups first compete in regional quarterfinal
competitions, which is what the Hult Center is
hosting on Friday. The top two groups go to a semifinal round, and those winners participate in the
finals, which take place in New York City in April.
The winning group earns the coveted “International
Championship” title.
Each group has 12 minutes to impress the judges,
who rate the performances on vocal performance,
visual performance and subjective rank. Special
awards are also given for outstanding soloist,
outstanding arrangement, outstanding vocal
percussion and outstanding choreography.

Occasionally, the phrase
“college town” is synonymous
with “cultural diversity” — and
the University of Oregon is no
exception. But according to
Andiel Brown, the director of UO’s
Gospel Choirs and Ensembles,
this isn’t entirely true, and more
can be done to diversify. Thursday
and Saturday of this week both
offer a chance to do so, set to the
pounding of Afro-Cuban style
drumming.
“I thought we needed something
like this to open our eyes to the
beauties of other people and
other cultures,” Brown said. “What
better way to do that than through
music and dance?”
This something is actually
plural, a public lecture entitled
“Culture and Dance of Afro-Cuba”
happening this Thursday and a
series of hands-on Afro-Cuban
dance workshops on Saturday
highlighting the unique rhythms
and movements of the Caribbean
island nation.
“This is something that has
never been done at any Oregon
university and we have the
amazing opportunity to be
the first of potentially many
fun, educational and culturally
diversifying events within the
higher education system in the
great state of Oregon,” Brown said.
With support from the UO
Office of International Affairs,
the Center for Latino/a and Latin
American Studies, the African
Studies and Anthropology
departments and Brown, this
opportunity is a reality.
“We may not all be in a position
to hop onto a plane to Havana
just at this moment, but we can
soak in some of the feel and
meaningfulness of the place by
experiencing the culture when it
comes to us,” said Dennis Galvan
of the UO Office of International
Affairs. ”We’re lucky to have
colleagues like Professor Andiel
Brown who bring the live, warm
arts of places like Cuba to our
special — and right now, slightly
damp and chilly— corner of the
planet.”
To headline the events Brown
corralled Kati Hernandez, an AfroCuban dance instructor he met
two years ago at a salsa festival
in San Francisco, and Miguel
Bernal, who — according to his
own website — was a master AfroCuban percussionist for 20 years
for the Cuban folkloric dance
company Raices Profundas.
Participants will get a full
dose of a distinct culture — and a
workout, too. Afro-Cuban dance
is a unique mixture of movements
and rhythms incorporating the
multitudes of influences that
shape Afro-Cuban culture.
A diverse collection of people
populate Cuba, and, according
to Brown, this makes defining
elements of it complex.
“Afro-Cuban is a general blanket
statement for all of these different
Afro-ethnic groups represented
in the melting pot that is Cuba,”
Brown said. “Dances like salsa,
cha-cha and cabaret have roots in
Afro-Cuban dance motions. Most
people think of folkloric dances,
rumba and more aggressive
warrior dances when they hear
this word but it should not be
limited to just these.”
The free public lecture this
Thursday takes place at 7 p.m.
at the Beall Concert Hall. The
workshops run Feb. 1 from noon
to 4 p.m. at the Dougherty Dance
Theatre and span three separate
clinics: Afro-Cuban folkloric
dance, rumba with folkloric
movements and Casino (Cuban
salsa dance). Admission is $12 per
session (or $30 for all three) or
$6 each (or $15 for all three) for
students with a valid university ID
card.
Director of Gospel Choirs and Ensembles, Andiel Brown, has planned a Afro-Cuban style dance
workshop Feb. 1 at Beall Concert Hall to bring more culture diversity to the University of Oregon.

Ganas coordinator Ricky Salinas briefs students on how the
tutoring sessions will work at Kelly Middle School.
MECHa gives back
in ganas program
For Chicano students at the
University of Oregon, MEChA is
more than a community. It’s a way
to give back.
MEChA, a student union on
campus, focuses on issues that
the Chicano community faces
and finds ways to overcome those
hurdles. The Ganas program,
a bi-lingual and bi-cultural
mentorship program between
MEChA members and local
middle school students is one
way UO students can focus on
community improvement — by
helping younger students succeed
in education. Every Monday and
Wednesday, Mechistas head over
to Kelly Middle School for a few
hours of academic and cultural
engagement with some of Eugene’s
hispanic youth.
One of those ways to give back
to the community is the Ganas
program. Ganas originally began
in the ‘90s and emphasizes the
importance of bi-cultural and
bi-lingual leadership program for
Latino students. Every Monday
and Wednesday, MEChA members
tutor students at Kelly Middle
School.
“Ganas is a place where students
can embrace their entire identity
as bi-cultural students and solidify
an understanding of who they
are in the midst of a culture that
pressures students to fit a norm,”
Kelly Middle School teacher
Colleen Young said. “Its goal is to
strengthen students, prepare them
for leadership, encourage them
in their academics and life and
prepare them to go to high school
and college.”
Cofounded by middle school
teacher Roscoe Caron, Ganas
started originally in Kennedy
Middle School where Caron
taught. Along with Caron, MEChA
mentor Jim Garcia helped with
the program as well. When Caron
began teaching at Kelly Middle
p h o t o g r a p h tay l o r w i l d e r , @ tay l o r e w i l d e r
School he brought Ganas with
him.
Ganas sessions consist of an
hour of homework time, then
snack followed by a cultural and
bonding activity. Once a term
MEChA will bring the middle
school students to campus and let
them see what college is like.
Internal director of MEChA and
senior Ricky Salinas describes
his experience as an outlet for his
stresses and a way to serve others
as both a tutor and a mentor.
His involvement with Ganas
has taught him leadership skills
and given him an opportunity
to give back to students who are
sometimes overlooked.
“I think the reason why so
many members from MEChA
want to participate and volunteer
is because a lot of the members
see themselves in the students,”
Salinas said. “Many of the
volunteers have been in that
situation where they struggled in
school and didn’t have a support
program like Ganas and many
wish that there would have been a
program like Ganas when we were
little.”
Newly appointed freshman Abel
Cerros is one of three coordinators
for Ganas. For Cerros, Ganas
means the chance to help shape a
young life.
“My favorite part of Ganas is the
‘ah moment’ when the kids begin
to understand the material and
you can tell because you can see it
in their eyes,” Cerros said. “You’re
making a difference in their lives
and that’s the best part.”
Often, Ganas volunteers learn
just as much as they teach.
“The Ganas students help the
Mechistas see how important
and powerful their mentoring is,”
Young said.

Keeping Ken Kesey’s work alive
A
Proceeds of local shops are going to the collection of Ken Kensey to be preserved by UO.
recreation of Ken Kesey’s famous
psycheldelic bus, Further, drove through
Eugene last week, driven by son Zane
Kesey.
“It was about the kids, the truth and the
weed,” said former University of Oregon English
professor Jenie Murphy of Ken Kesey’s life
while riding Further. The bus traveled to Eugene
on Jan. 16 in celebration of the premiere of a
documentary about Kesey at the McDonald
Theatre.
Kesey put his more storable works on deposit
in the Knight Library in the late sixties upon his
realization of their value.
“He knew it was valuable,” said manuscripts
librarian Linda Long. Throughout the years he
would come to see them. Upon his death in 2001,
to view the collection, researchers and scholars
would have to get permission from widow Faye
Kesey to view the archives. In June 2013, UO
gained the property rights to the collection, which
makes it available to anyone without having to
gain permissions from the Kesey family. The
acquisition of the property rights was “at least a
two-year process,” Long said.
UO President Michael Gottfredson put up a
majority of the money of the purchase himself,
pa g e 6

and Keri Aronson and the library are now
fundraising to pay him back for his contribution
to the purchase of the collection and to fund its
preservation.
“(The collection) strikes a chord in a lot of
Oregonians’ hearts,” Aronson said.
According to Aronson, the library is “trying
to work with the community” in attempts to
fundraise. Prior to the collections purchase,
Voodoo Doughnuts donated $10,000 with
proceeds from their “Easy Peasy Lemon Kesey”
doughnut. Currently, Rogue Ales has created the
“One Brew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” ale, part of
the proceeds of which will go to the collection.
They are also working with Townshend’s Eugene
Tea House, who are creating the “Just Ginger” tea.
Part of the proceeds will also go to the collection.
The archives include the original manuscript
for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” original
screenplay for “Sometimes a Great Notion,” as
well as letters, illustrations and his Jail Journal,
which were published after his death.
Matt Love, author of “Sometimes a Great
Movie,” a non-fiction book about the filming
of Kesey’s “Sometimes a Great Notion” on the
Oregon coast, began getting audiences at his
readings to write postcards addressed to Phil
Knight asking him to fund the collection in May
2012.
“I’ve been doing this a long time,” Love said.
“I’ve probably sent a couple thousand.”
To promote the documentary and the letters,
Further and its followers came to the UO campus
on Jan. 16. While “My Humps” by the Black Eyed
Peas played out of the speakers on the bus, Zane
Kesey entertained his riders with anecdotes about
driving a bus that lacks power steering.
“Five percent of people will ignore the fuck out
of you when you drive by,” he said.
“I almost went to class and then I was like,
that’s a sick bus,” UO senior Jamie Gerber said.
The bus drove from its home at the Kesey farm
in Pleasant Hill.
“The bus was his best work,” Murphy said.
New additions came to the collection around
2008, according to Long. The newer additions
include notes, photos and slides.
“I’m never going to stop,” she said. “I’ll send
thank you postcards.”

metal is Making
Plug your ears or bang your head. When the Samurai Duck shuttered its doors, it nearly took the metal scene
with it. Now, a handful of artists and venues have started a revival.
Local metal band Rye Wolves
hopes that the metal scene in
Eugene will continue to grow
with new venues opening up.
b y Da n i e l B r o m f i e l d, @ b r o m f 3
T
o the musical
mainstream, the Pacific
Northwest is probably
best known for its
grunge and indie bands.
Yet the region has been
a hub for heavy metal
for decades, from the thrash metal
of the 1980s to the nature-themed
“Cascadian” metal the region is known
for today. Eugene has fostered a thriving
metal community since the ‘90s,
complete with a big-league band in the
internationally successful doom metal
trio, YOB. Though Eugene may not have
as big or illustrious a scene as Seattle
or Portland, heavy metal is still a major
part of the town’s musical climate.
Yet in the last five years, a major shift
has occurred in Eugene. Metal was once
based chiefly around a single venue,
a former sushi bar turned restaurant
and venue called Samurai Duck. The
place served as Eugene’s preeminent
metal venue for nearly 20 years, hosting
all-ages shows until 9 p.m., as well as
the usual beer-fueled 21+ shows later
at night. It closed in 2009, causing a
massive exodus of the Eugene metal
scene into local bars like Tiny Tavern,
Oak Street Speakeasy and Black Forest.
“When Samurai Duck shut down it
seemed like the metal scene died for a
while,” said Harley Brassfield, guitarist
for metal band Elohim.
“That place was like ‘Cheers’ for
people who like underground music,”
said Abram Hurd, guitarist in the
Eugene band Rye Wolves and former
proprietor of a DIY all-ages metal venue
called Epic Space. “There was real
camaraderie there. The only thing that I
didn’t like about it was that it was a bar.”
Though Eugene’s metal bands thrive
within the bars, the closing of the
Samurai Duck has largely eliminated
all-ages options from the metal scene.
A number of all-ages metal venues have
operated in Eugene after the Samurai
Duck, but none have lasted long. Epic
Space closed a year after the Samurai
Duck due to increasing rent. And just
last year another DIY metal venue,
The Lazarus Pit, was closed by the
owners of the house in which it was
located. Springfield’s The Gathering
Place, maintained by the Riverside
Community Church, stopped hosting
shows in 2012. Even the Wandering
Goat Coffee Co. was an option for allages metal shows at one point, but it
has increasingly catered less and less to
bands of that persuasion.

“The metal shows I’ve been to in
Eugene have been pretty fun,” metal
fan and University of Oregon student
William Bohn said. “But I really don’t
like how most of the shows are only
open to people that are 21 and over.”
“There’s all these kids that want to see
metal and they can’t see it because of
the bars,” Brassfield said. “Kind of ruins
it.”
Yet over the course of the last year,
the metal scene now has a venue where
all ages are welcome. The Boreal, a DIY
venue that recently opened on Third
Avenue and Washington Street has been
active since early January. The Boreal
hosts acts spanning a variety of genres
but primarily caters to punk and metal
bands.
“The Boreal’s gonna be a killer place,”
Brassfield said. “Having The Boreal
come out and make enough money and
have the ordinances all taken care of –
that’s fucking awesome.”
“That’s a big deal,” Hurd said. “We
needed a space like that, and the fact
that Eugene and the outlying areas got
behind it enough to make it happen is
actually impressive.”
The Boreal could have a tremendous
impact on the metal scene, provided
it doesn’t fall victim to the curse
that seems to exist on Eugene’s allages metal venues. It offers younger
headbangers a place to catch live bands
without having to head to Portland or
wait for a rare WOW Hall or Wandering
Goat metal show. It could also foster a
tight-knit community of metallers as
existed in the past at Samurai Duck — a
group of people who all know each
other and convene on the venue no
matter who’s playing.
Though the Eugene metal scene
doesn’t have many all-ages shows or a
true epicenter at the moment (the Black
Forest is probably the closest thing,
frequently hosting free metal shows),
the scene is far from dead. Metal shows
at the bars still attract huge crowds — a
reason why Tiny Tavern manager Jevon
Peck leaps at the chance to book them.
“When we do put on a metal show, it’s
usually quite large,” Peck said. “We’ve
had people standing in lines out the
doors. And the people who frequent the
metal shows are the nicest people you’d
want to drink in your establishment.
Every genre brings different types
of people. (Metal) isn’t really the
genre I originally thought I’d be most
impressed by, but honestly the metal
crowd is the nicest.”
Much of this has to do with the
close-knit nature of the Eugene metal
community. It’s a true scene, with many
of its members knowing each other
either from being associated with the
scene for a long time or through sharing
bills with other bands.
“The Eugene scene is pretty much one
big group,” Brassfield said. “Pretty much
all the bands know each other, and it’s
pretty incestuous — people in one band
will be in other people’s bands and play
various instruments.”
Yet the focus of many Eugene metal
bands has shifted from gigging to
working on material in the studio.
Eugene bands Tormentium, Omnihility
and Arkhum are all currently working
on albums at the moment.
“A lot of bands around here are still
active, but they’re in the writing or
recording processes right now,” said
Arkhum guitarist Stephen Parker, who
is also helping produce the upcoming
Tormentium album. “If they spend a
year writing a new album, you don’t see
them play often and it gives the illusion
that they’re no longer around. But there
are still metal shows at the Black Forest,
and The Boreal just opened up, so it’s
still going on.”
Whether these bands have retreated
into the studio out of artistic choice
or simply due to the near-constant
rotation of available venues, there’s no
doubt that Eugene metal isn’t quite as
lively as it was during the days of the
fabled Samurai Duck. But it’s far from
dead and will almost undoubtedly
persevere given the hurdles the metal
bands of Eugene have had to confront
in the past. It’s a safe bet that Eugene
will remain a small but active haven for
both lovers and performers of heavy
metal music for decades to come.
“We needed a space like that, and the fact that Eugene
and the outlying areas got behind it enough to make it
happen is actually impressive.”
Abram Hurd gutarist of Eugene band, Rye Wolves.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a fine line
between expressing your own individuality and
rejecting the group culture of those around you.
Put the group culture first and you’ll have no
trouble finding windows of opportunity to be
unique.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You like to concentrate on what needs to be done and can’t
see the point of dwelling on what you’ve already accomplished. It’s necessary to compartmentalize the past, but don’t forget it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s only natural to
leave the door of your heart open around loved
ones. Being so emotionally vulnerable is not
always best for your relationships. To protect
your heart’s treasures, you must sometimes
lock them up.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your neighborhood is really only as good as your neighbors.
Taking care of those who live around you will
be part of today’s work and in doing this, you’ll
be improving the domestic life of many.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Misinformation will provide a test of your inner guidance system. You
are not likely to believe something just because
it’s what you’re asked to believe. You have to
feel the truth of things at a bone level.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today, you will
have to bend to avoid breaking. Flexibility is not
one of your main strengths and yet, you will be
willing to do whatever it takes to help your plans
bear fruit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have one style
of doing things, and someone close to you has
a completely different approach. The two styles
may clash, and someone will have to back
down. If this person is you, you won’t be sorry.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your love takes
work now, and your work takes love. It feels so
worthwhile though as today’s project will provide you with excitement on par with romantic
rapture.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You strive
to be self-sufficient emotionally, financially and
physically. For you, being sure of this is your
freedom. It allows you to say “no” and “yes” to
whomever you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are now
doing the work that once seemed so beyond
your capabilities. Backing out was never an
option for you, and now you and your crew will
benefit from your perseverance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll enjoy
the challenge of being a stranger in a new land
for a few hours today, and this experience will
teach you something about your confidence,
defense mechanisms and social strengths.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Thinking ahead
is your talent now. You’ve witnessed the kinds
of difficulties and delays that are caused by a
lack of preparation, and you’re determined to
do everything you can to get ready for what’s
to come.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 30). You’ll deliberately put yourself in opportune situations, and
the busyness of the next four months will have
the feeling of catching your life on the fly. Snap
pictures often or you’ll forget what this blur was
all about. June brings a calm stretch of selfreflection, though you may have to travel for
it. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 47, 6, 44, 39 and 20.

It’s time to start standing for true beauty
“We need to...
(stop) calling
each other
fat and stop
with these
unrealistic
expectations
for women.”
Jennifer Lawrence the actress’s
response to Flare magazine’s
photoshopped cover photo of her.
T
hey start us off pretty
young. Barbie, for example,
has long, skinny legs and
a tiny waist. Ken has a sixpack and sculpted arms. Even G.I.
Joe’s plastic body is bulging with
muscles.
As we grow older, this
pressure surrounds us. It’s in
magazine spreads, commercials,
advertisements and even
mannequin displays at stores. Some
clothing companies go as far as to
change their sizing system to target
certain groups of people. Some TV
shows only employ actors who look
like runway models. They all have
the same stereotypically perfect
body type and facial structures. It’s
not realistic.
Before you lose faith in humanity,
check out all the people who are
taking a stand and challenging our
culture’s definition of beauty and
perfection.
Many producers, for instance,
are realizing that we want to see
more realistic and relatable shows
and movies. They’re starting to
embrace the fact that real people
don’t look like airbrushed models,
that they’re all different in their
own way. “Shameless,” “Girls” and
“Modern Family” are all incredibly
popular shows that feature more

normal-looking people in realistic,
day-to-day situations.
Celebrities are standing up for
themselves too. Just because
they’re famous doesn’t mean
they’re perfect, and they’re tired
of everyone pretending that they
are. In 2003, Kate Winslet spoke
out about her photo on the cover
of GQ, which was completely
photoshopped without her consent:
“The retouching is excessive,”
Winslet said. “I do not look like that
and more importantly I don’t desire
to look like that.”
Jennifer Lawrence discussed this
issue with Yahoo! in November.
“Shows like ‘Fashion Police’
put values on all the things that
are wrong and (think) it’s okay
to point at people and call them
ugly and fat,” Lawrence said. “We
need to (stop) calling each other
fat and stop with these unrealistic
expectations for women.” Lawrence
was recently featured on the cover
of Flare magazine, photoshopped
to look much thinner than she
really is.
Pro Infirmis, an organization
located in Switzerland, approached
this in another light. They created
a series of mannequins sculpted
from the bodies of a diverse group
of physically disabled people
and displayed them in front of a
clothing store. The project, and
rather emotional YouTube video on
it, is aptly named “Because Who is
Perfect?”
“It’s special to see yourself
like this,” said one of the video
participants, “when you usually
can’t look at yourself in the mirror.”
It’s devastating that someone
would think that way, but this
inspirational organization aims to
change that.
It’s something that all companies
need to start doing. They may have
been successfully selling their
products by manipulating their
consumers in the past, but people
are starting to catch on.
Dove, a well-known and
successful company, has set a
great example and has shown that
standing up for what’s right won’t
hurt your company, but help it
quite immensely. In one of their
campaigns, they encourage women
around the country to post selfies
of themselves with no filters or
edits and explain what beauty
means to them. In the moving video
for the campaign, a girl tells her
mother she is beautiful and needs
to embrace her age. Girls of all
ages start listing their insecurities,
and by the end are agreeing that
they are beautiful in their own way.
Shortly after, Twitter exploded
with responses to the campaign,
with the trending tag #BeautyIs.
Undoubtedly, it boosted the selfesteem of thousands of women and
girls everywhere.
You could take the extreme
route and choose to never buy
these fashion magazines or watch
these shows ever again. Although
that might do everyone some
good, it’s a little unrealistic to
avoid everything in the world that
exploits this desire for perfection
because it’s everywhere you look.
Instead, be aware of how you take
it all in. Know that it’s just a sales
tactic. Know that media’s version
of perfect is not accurate because
perfection is different for everyone.
Most importantly, know that your
differences are what make you
unique, and being unique is one
of the most beautiful and sexy
qualities a person can have.

⚡ SPORTS
fisher focuses on
diet for fitness
For a lot of triathletes, it is what you can ingest
and feel good about.”
Michael Fisher the triathlete likes Gatorade and
PowerBars.
Michael Fisher thinks a lot about food. But,
unlike his peers, he is very careful about what
he eats.
Fisher is a triathlete with the club team here
at the University of Oregon. He first began
competing his sophomore year after friends
told him to try.
“He is very dedicated,” Nick Schroeder, a
friend of Fisher, said. “He is always out running
and exercising.”
A dedication and love for sports caused him
to focus in on his diet, something that is crucial
for any serious athlete. Fisher stays away from
all fast food. During the day, he makes sure to
eat plenty so he always has energy to compete.
“He is one of the healthiest eaters I know,”
Chris Gillen, Fisher’s roommate, said.
A typical day for Fisher starts off with a
cup of coffee before his morning class. He
then either goes back to his place or grabs
something from the Duck Store for a late
breakfast. A common lunch spot is Qdoba
where he loves to get a burrito packed with
carbs and calories. Finally at night, after
working at the Student Rec Center, Fisher will
make himself dinner.
Throughout the day Fisher also makes sure
he drinks plenty of fluids.
“As a triathlete, if you’re not hydrated during
your training you are wasting time and are
probably going to hurt yourself,” Fisher said.
He also uses Gatorade and PowerBars to
keep up his energy.
“For a lot of triathletes, it is what you can
ingest and feel good about,” Fisher said when
asked why he chose Gatorade and PowerBars
UO Students for Choice Presents
over similar products. “As high school athletes
we tried the gauntlet of products; I wouldn’t
say one is better than the other.”
As he approaches a race, Fisher’s entire
eating schedule changes. He partakes in a
tradition that his friends and family sometimes
tease him over.
“If I have a race on a Saturday, from Tuesday
to the day that I travel, every dinner will be a
ginormous bowl of pasta,” Fisher said.
He doesn’t discriminate between different
types of pasta either. He will eat elbow, shell or
linguini.
“It doesn’t really matter,” Fisher said.
“Whatever I can get my hands on.”
He also cuts all dairy, except for chocolate
milk, in the week leading up to a race.
Then when his race is finally over, Fisher
allows himself to cut loose and enjoy a victory
meal that also has become a tradition for him.
“I go out and I get two cheeseburger calzones
from Dough Co.,” Fisher said. “I get those with
ranch, and hot sauce and I will destroy them as
soon as I get back. That is the go-to meal.”
Though Fisher is always focused on what
he puts in his body, he understands the
importance in not getting too caught up with
the nutrition aspect of the sport.
“You shouldn’t obsess over it,” Fisher said.
“You should have fun. The second you lose
the joy in doing something that you love is the
second you should step away from it.”
So far Fisher hasn’t lost that joy.

IN THE KEY
AS OREGON TAKES ON UCLA AND USC
THIS WEEKEND, these are the players
that you need to keep an eye on when
they hit the court.
B Y H AY D E N K I M , @ H AY D AY K I M
Players to watch
UCLA
Jordan Adams: Regardless of being an underclassman, Adams is one
of the most complete players in the Pac-12. Averaging a team-high 17.3
points per game and 5.5 rebounds, Adams has not only managed to
maintain a consistent high level of play, but he has also continued to
show a noticeable improvement in his game. Look for how Oregon’s
Joseph Young and Jason Calliste stack up against the guard.
Kyle Anderson: Aside from Adams, Anderson is by far the most
important player for the Bruins. In addition to being one of the best
scorers on the team, Anderson is also the player that they rely on to
grab the boards. Nearly averaging a double-double at 15.5 points and 9.0
rebounds, Anderson will be the focal point for the Bruins on both ends
of the floor.
USC
Byron Wesley: Though the Trojans have had a rough time in
conference play thus far, Wesley has served as the lone bright spot on
the season. Wesley averages 16.5 points per game and 7.1 rebounds. For
a player that is playing an excess of 34 minutes a game this season, the
Ducks will have to keep an eye out for him all-game long.
Pe’Shon Howard: As the senior leader for the Trojans, Howard has
boasted a stat sheet that resembles an all-around player but does
average 2.7 turnovers a game. With a 10.1 points per game average as
well as 4.4 assists per game, Howard is a player that won’t jump out to
the naked eye but will do enough to win games.
Areas to watch
UCLA
Offensively, the Bruins are among the best in the country. Ranking
in the top 10 in points per game, assists per game and field goal
percentage, the Bruins have consistently showcased one of the most
balanced offenses. Having said that, the Ducks will need to figure out
a way to slow down a team that hasn’t shown any signs of doing so.
Despite playing well defensively against Washington State last game, the
Ducks will face a completely different beast against the Bruins.

The Trojans don’t have much to be proud of aside from rebounding.
It should be an interesting matchup against the Ducks, who average
just 35.8 rebounds per game. The paint has been an area of concern all
season long for the Ducks and it will have to be a point of emphasis
against USC.
Since beginning Pac-12 play, the Bruins have proven they belong
among top-tier teams. Sitting with a 5-2 conference record and No.
2 ranking in the Pac-12 behind undefeated Arizona, the Bruins have
continually shown their potential in the upcoming NCAA tournament.
It should be noted that their two losses to Utah and Arizona were by a
combined margin of nine points. The Ducks will have to be on their very
best if they wish to keep up with the Bruins.
USC
The Trojans are among the bottom tier in the Pac-12. Their dismal 1-6
conference record will attest to that. For the Ducks, this is good news.
Losing by an average of 18.3 points per game in Pac-12 play, the Trojans
don’t pose many threats on either end of the court.

AN UNEXPECTED
JOURNEY
The path Mike Moser took to Matthew Knight Arena hasn’t been easy — it’s fraught with roadblocks,
detours and life-changing decisions. Now at the University of Oregon, his third school in five years,
Moser’s journey has come to an end 110 short miles from where it began.
Moser was born in Dallas, Texas, and
adopted by Jeanne Moser, a single mother
of two in Portland.
She’s now the mother of five, four of
whom were adopted.
Moser’s family is from all over the
world. His older brother Danny is
Brazilian. His younger brothers Antonio
and David are Mexican. His cousins
were adopted from Haiti, India and the
Philippines. They’re all from different
backgrounds yet have a special and
unbreakable bond few can relate to.
“That family is very special,” Marcos
Montas, Moser’s childhood friend, said.
“They’re kind, they’re loving. I couldn’t say
enough good things about that family.”
Jeanne raised her children as a single
mother while working as a program
manager at local Catholic churches
and running a restaurant in northeast
Portland. Roses Ice Cream has been a
staple in Portland for over 60 years — and
in Mike Moser’s stomach for as long as
he can remember — especially the bacon
burgers with cheese and Oreo milkshakes.
While looking after a handful of
youngsters and running a business,
Jeanne said she attended every one of
Moser’s basketball games throughout high
school.
“I just know the bond that we have,”
Moser said. “The love that’s been
developed between (my mom) and my
family over the years … it feels kind of
unexplainable.”
Moser grew up without a father, but his
mother may as well have been mom and
dad, according to Montas.
“His mom is a superstar,” Montas
said. “She just has a huge heart … she is
seriously amazing. I don’t understand how
a single mother could do everything that
she did. For all he knows, his mom is mom
and dad.”

Jeanne added that Moser’s coaches
were father-like mentors for him.
“He probably had the best support
group and mentors that I’ve ever seen,”
she said. “They’re very good mentors and
they really care about the kids.”
Moser played AAU basketball for i5
ELITE, a program started by Kumbeno
Memory and former NBA player and
current San Antonio Spurs assistant coach
Ime Udoka. Memory gushed over Moser’s
tireless work ethic and desire to keep
improving.
“He just had a ton of passion for the
game and was willing to work hard,”
Memory said. “He had a whole lot to learn,
but he was willing to and he showed up
every day. He was in the gym with me five,
six days a week throughout all of high
school.”
According to Montas, Moser was
the definition of a gym rat growing up,
spending entire days in the gym and
playing multiple games for different
teams.
“That’s what he did,” Montas said. “Then
when he wasn’t doing that, we were
eating.”
The hard work paid off and Moser was
well-known in the basketball community
long before he decided to play for the
Ducks. As a standout at Grant High
School, he led the Generals to the 2008
6A state championship and finished his
career as the school’s all-time leading
rebounder. He was named Oregon’s Mr.
Basketball and earned AP honorable
mention All-American honors to conclude
his high school career and was left with
the first of many decisions: where to play
college basketball.
ESPN.com ranked Moser as the 55th
best prospect in his class of incoming
freshmen in 2009 with a scout grade of
92 out of 100. Moser ultimately elected
to play at the University of Arizona under
legendary coach Lute Olson. He was
joined by fellow star recruits and eventual
NBA players Solomon Hill and Derrick
Williams.
The same weekend Moser visited
Arizona, Olson retired after 25 years of
coaching the Wildcats.
“It was weird because I had found out
the news that he was retiring the day
of my visit,” Moser said. “It was kind of
unsettling not knowing who I was going
to play for (the) next year. It just wasn’t
meant to be.”
Moser de-committed and visited four
schools in the next two weeks — one being
Oregon — before settling on UCLA. The
Bruins had made three trips to the Final
Four in the past four seasons, have the
richest history in college basketball and
boasted the eighth-best freshman class.
In Moser’s freshman season, UCLA
got off to an uncharacteristically bad
start, losing seven of its first 10 games,
including an embarrassing 27-point defeat
to the University of Portland.
The Bruins finished the year 14-18 and
on the outside of the NCAA tournament
for the third time in 22 years. Moser
averaged less than five minutes per
game. In search of more playing time and
a better supporting cast, Moser made
another change of plans.
He transferred to UNLV and reminded
everyone why he was a top recruit. After
sitting out a season to fulfill his required
red shirt year, Moser averaged a doubledouble, leading the team in points and
rebounds per game and piloted the
Runnin’ Rebels to a 26-9 record and a fifth
NCAA tournament berth in six years.
His confidence and NBA draft stock
were high, but Moser elected to stay in
school for another year to complete his
undergraduate degree.
 FAST FACTS
 Moser has attended
three colleges in five
years: UCLA, UNLV
and Oregon.
 Moser was the
55th best basketball
prospect coming out
of high school after
attending Grant High
School in Portland.
 In his first full season
at UNLV, Moser led
the team in points per
game and rebounds per
game.
“Ultimately I really think I wanted to
finish school,” Moser said. “I felt like I had
come so far … as an NBA prospect I didn’t
think one year would make too much of a
difference.”
Moser was a preseason all-American.
UNLV was ranked 18th and had the seventh
best recruiting class in the nation that
included Anthony Bennett. All of the pieces
were in place for Moser to go out on top.
Prior to the start of the season, Moser
got hit with a hip flexor and dislocated his
elbow the next month, forcing him to miss
seven games. He averaged 10 minutes less
per game and his stats were essentially cut
in half. UNLV made another tournament
appearance but was ousted in its first
game.
Frustrated, Moser wanted to come home
for his final season of eligibility.
Degree in hand and the maddening
desire to succeed irking at his will, Moser
elected to transfer to Oregon over Gonzaga
and Washington. He was one of head coach
Dana Altman’s six transfers to begin the
season.
“The way (Altman) puts guys in a
position to be successful … and really I
just wanted to get back home,” Moser
said regarding his decision to transfer to
Oregon. “My family’s here. I missed them
a ton and being away from home for four
years kind of got old. I just wanted to get
home.”
EMERALD ARCHIVE PHOTO
Through 19 games at Oregon, Moser
has stood out. He’s shooting career-best
percentages and putting up numbers
similar to his sophomore season. The
Ducks have a chance to replicate their
success from a season ago and Moser’s
NBA hopes may have been revitalized.
But most importantly, he’s home, doing
what he loves in front of the people he
loves after a long and unexpected journey.
Jeanne couldn’t be happier about Moser
being close to home, allowing her to attend
more games.
“It’s great,” Moser said before cracking an
embarrassed smile. “She comes up to every
game going crazy like she always does. I go
home every chance I get.”

⚑ GAMEDAY
Last year, the Ducks were among the defensive
elite, ranked No. 17 nationally. One Duck, in
particular, stood out: power forward Arsalan
Kazemi.
“Arsalan was maybe as good a defender at the
four spot as I’ve ever had,” men’s basketball head
coach Dana Altman said.
Kazemi stuffed the defensive stat sheet all season,
especially in Oregon’s biggest games. He averaged
15 rebounds, 1.67 steals and one block per game in
Oregon’s three NCAA tournament contests. But his
numbers mask the dozens of other contributions
he made on defense, like his incredible footwork (a
skill Altman raved about), his help defense and his
destruction of the pick-and-roll.
“The Oregon forward was such a devastating
pick-and-roll defender at the college level that he
could single-handedly disrupt an opposing offense,”
Grantland’s Brett Koremenos wrote last June.
Kazemi’s overall dominance on defense and
on the glass distracted viewers from two other
invaluable Oregon defenders: Tony Woods and E.J.
Singler. Those two weren’t as dominant as Kazemi
on defense, but they grasped the little things so
well that the Ducks became a consistently tough
defensive team.
“When I was able to overextend, I wasn’t scared
because I knew I had Tone in there to block a shot,
or E.J. in there to make a rotation,” point guard
Johnathan Loyd said.
Right now, Kazemi is playing basketball in his
native Iran. Woods is in Greece. Singler’s playing
for the Idaho Stampede. And the Ducks are getting
trampled by opposing offenses. Their defensive
rating is 186th in the nation, and that’s just one
of many stats that illustrates their defensive
deficiencies.
The issues don’t stem from just one position, but
it’s hard to look at Oregon’s interior defense and not
see a massive hole where Kazemi and Woods used
to operate. Loyd said several big men, especially
Richard Amardi, have the potential to fill that gap
and they’ve all shown flashes. But Altman says the
consistency is severely lacking.
“We’ve had some good defense inside, but it hasn’t
been on a consistent basis like Arsalan provided,”
said Altman, who also praised Woods and Singler.
The biggest problem with this year’s defense
might be invisible. Loyd illustrates this perfectly.
He and other perimeter players could spend more
effort pressuring their men because Kazemi and
Woods were standing near the basket craving an
opportunity to reject a shot. Oregon’s perimeter
defenders could go over screens more often, forcing
three-point shooters to take more inefficient twopoint jumpers or challenge Oregon’s fearsome
big men. The ball-handlers could drive and pass
to a shooter, but Kazemi, Woods and Singler were
brilliant at rotating to contest shots.
These three provided comfort to their other
teammates on the court. For scorers like Damyean
Dotson and Dominic Artis, they might have exerted
less effort on the defensive end, thus making them
more effective on offense.
This year’s defense might be turning the corner.
Washington State, while far from elite, shot just 25
percent from the field against Oregon.
But it’s doubtful these Ducks can even approach
last year’s defensive output. As the season
progresses, Oregon’s yearning for Kazemi, Woods
and Singler will likely keep growing.
