Public affairs:

• Uncle Sam: It’s Election Day, not that that has the same significance in Oregon. You guys really miss out on the sweltering elementary school cafeterias and grouchy retirees scowling as they run the point of their pencils up and down the voter registry looking for your name. The long lines, you know them not!
• Handicapping: It’s hard to tell who’s even in the lead anymore for governor. (Emerald)
• Ballooning: The “freshman fifteen” should really be called the “freshman three-to-six,” the Emerald reports.
• Money-dollops: The UO has received $50,000 for something folklore-related but not entirely explicit in the Emerald’s article. (Emerald)
• Beards for cancer: Some people won’t be shaving this month. It’s for cancer. (Emerald)

Opinion:

• Emerald viewpoint-bromide JoAnna Wendel considers the UO’s zebrafish lab. “Zebrafish don’t require excessive luxury.” One imagines zebrafish settling for vinyl interiors rather than real leather. One also begins to wonder why we don’t ever hear about scientific research at the UO that does not involve zebrafish. Is there none being done? Is it too embarrassing to talk about?
• Letters: In the Guard, a call for mass exodus and a thank you note to UO students for being nice on Halloween.
• Editorials: The Guard just wants to give a big hand to all the candidates out there. You’re all winners. The local paper also laments the likely failure of Washington state’s soda tax ballot initiative.
• The executive director of the UO’s Sexual Assault Support Services says Measure 73 is a crock of shit. (Ethos)
• Guard viewpoint-softy Bob Welch answers people’s questions about various fences and signs.
• Community member Roger Gray takes issue with the terminology used to describe a part of Eugene to which the town’s black residents were once exiled in the Guard.
• Emerald blogger Luisa Anderson apologizes for not blogging more. (Emerald Opinion Blog)

Scene:

• The new Kanye West video is causing library problems for one Voice staffer.

Sports:

• Emerald sports-lizard Robert Husseman focuses on another in the litany of problems with sports: scissor lifts.
• Injury has been kind to Oregon Football this season and cruel to Hated Huskies throwing numen Jake Locker, which will be a relief for OF. (Register-Guard)
• On OF recruiting: “Eugene … a good sized city with some stuff too do but not too much stuff to get caught up in, that’s safe and where they can play great football and get a great education.” (Emerald)
• OF players not that excited about their ranking, OF clay pigeon Jeff Maehl scoops a gong, and just because OF will be on ABC doesn’t necessarily mean a jackpot for the UO. (Register-Guard)
• Also: Injury news on Oregon Basketball (M).
