FYI: These will again become regular. I took a break Monday because I didn’t have access to a computer.

Public affairs:

• Democracy: Some results are in, others not as I type this. Probably, as Rockne says in the post below, the New  York Times is the source for that. Here’s Oregon on the NYT site, and here’s the whole shebang. Here‘s the Emerald’s article.
• Employment: UO Matters has posted a copy of illusion Randy Geller’s resume, as well as a photo. Interesting that he got the resume the same day he bashed the new public record office’s funding.
• Marketing: The UO looks to triangulate a branding strategy for the key Pakistani market, settles on prized saves-you-from-freezing marketshare. (Emerald, Register-Guard)
• The Worldly: An author came to convince UO students to save the world. (Emerald)
• Cinema: Some people recently met to get all hot and bothered about sound in movies. (Emerald)

Opinion:

• Emerald viewpoint-mouthpiece Matt Tellam compares those who oppose Measure 74 to a South Park character.
• Letters: A student chides the Emerald for not reporting on EPD’s Halloween-night truncheons, while another says the Emerald should get candidates’ positions “in writing.” The Guard’s have paranoid thoughts about campaign money and shipping metaphors.
• Editorials: The Guard wants energy reform packaged differently, and also chides the state for not giving the Oregonian information about people drawing six-figure pensions.
• Emerald viewpoint-bromide JoAnna Wendel appears to satirize some of the hazards of Halloween, and also advises against superstition.
• A UO student studies abroad, tries to trace her family roots, has a frustrating time of it, discovers Ireland has very little to do with her. Another one meets his heroes and asks them questions off a small list. (Ethos)
• The chairperson of Eugene’s Public Art Committee has some ra-ra for art and attempts to make more of it. (Register-Guard)
• Reasons the UO thinks you should give it money today: Trafton B. reflects his Halloween costume from last year and looks ahead to a new one, and also invites Californians to attend UO.

Sports:

• Here‘s a fascinating interview with an Oregon Football player by an Emerald freelancer, who humanizes the guy in a way that many people who interview sports folks don’t bother to. (Emerald)
• Now that Hated Huskies throwing numen Jake Locker is set to miss the next football game with rib-ouch, OF’s not thinking as much about stopping him. (Emerald) In fact, OF’s being pretty blase about the whole playing-the-Hated-Huskies thing in the first place. (Register-Guard)
• Oregon Basketball (W) is starting up again. (Emerald)
• Oregon Rugby (W) overcame a size deficit to best the Hated Jesters, in an article that contains a lot of esoteric rugby jargon. (Emerald)
