Public affairs:

• Archeology: Oregon Research Institute opponents say the development of the Riverfront Research Park development has violated a 1986 agreement (courtesy of UO Matters) requiring community input between the city and UO this whole time. It’s just nobody seemed to have a copy of the agreement on hand until anti-ORI activists uncovered it recently. The Eugene Weekly posted about this yesterday and I linked to it, but the import of the post did not penetrate the thick membranes of my skull (KVAL). Pretty much everyone who knows about architecture and the like seems to hate this thing (Emerald), which will make it one of many showdowns, seemingly, at the next UO Senate meeting, along with ones on parking, the post office closure, and policy seemingly regarding the Pacifica Forum. (UO Matters)
• Bootings: UO contract-toughs led 117 people from Autzen stadium during the Hated Huskies game. No word on how many were students, but I like to believe the number represents only well-heeled alumni with private boxes. (Register-Guard)
• Embarrassment, contd.: The University of Washington interim cheese, fresh from a contrite telephone conversation with UO cheese Lariviere, has demanded some grovelling from her athletic director after he publicly identified the UO’s academic spade as an embarrassing spade. UO mouths are staying shut. Maybe they are too embarrassed about their academics to talk. Down with candor, no? (Oregonian, Seattle Times, UW Daily)
• Meters: Business owners downtown are pretty happy with the city’s new parking policies, but the want more. (Emerald)
• Marshall backlash: In the 1940s and 1950s, we gave the Europeans a little help getting their economic house together and we’ve been answering for it ever since. Latest development: the gravity of some of those boatloads of dollar bills we shipped across the Atlantic back then is sucking two of the UO’s most promising students toward England. (Emerald)
• Invisible realms: Do you have problems in the invisible realm of human beings? There, evidently, you tell a doctor what’s wrong with you; the doctor then tells you a story and sends you on your way. (Emerald)

Opinion:

• Letters: The Guard’s mailbag includes someone who is in a searing rage over the UO’s driving on bike paths, while another letter writer accuses people who go to Israel of coming back brainwashed. An Emerald reader calmly spits on the paper’s anti-EmX editorial.
• Editorials: The Guard gushes with praise for the city’s new park purchase, but finds San Francisco’s kid’s meal toy ban ho-hum.
• The Emerald’s JoAnna Wendel ponders some miracles. Fucking turn-of-the-century Siberian explosions! How do they work? (Emerald blog)
• An elementary school kid’s mom cries bloody murder while the city’s schools cut their budgets.

Sports:

• Emerald freelancer Jackson Long continues a string of interviews with Oregon Football players, this time with multi-smasher Casey Matthews. Matthews comes across more as a clipped football automaton, which contrasts to the softer persona D.J. Davis revealed last week in response to Long’s questions. “It is hard to grow hair out; it is such mental discipline.” (Emerald)
• Oregon Volleyball player Kellie Kawasaki struggles to do her laundry. (Emerald)
• Ever wanted way more information than you could possibly stomach about Oregon Football fingertip-of-choice Nate Costa’s injury? Here’s a video containing that (KVAL). And Emerald sports-whippet Patrick Malee lauds the injured fingertip’s class (Emerald).
• Oregon Golf plummeted a rung in its competition. (Emerald)
• Oregon Wushu! The OC wrote about that issues ago, Ethos!
