Campus

Main article: University of Oregon campus

The campus is spread over 295 acres and holds sixty major buildings,^[18] as well as providing a home for more than 500 varieties of trees. ^[19] Eugene is located near many prominent geographic features such as the Willamette River, Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The Willamette River (pronounced) is a Tributary of the Columbia River. The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth 's Oceanic divisions Also within a two-hour drive is the Portland metropolitan area. Portland is a city located in the Northwestern United States, near the Confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers

Based on Ellis F. Lawrence's vision, many of the University's buildings are planned around several major quadrangles, many of which interact with the pedestrian 13th Street. ^[20] The university is known for being the site of a pioneering participatory planning experiment known as the Oregon Experiment, which is also the subject of a book of the same name that evolved into the well known book A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander. The Oregon Experiment is a 1975 book by Christopher Alexander and collaborators Murray Silverstein Shlomo Angel Sara Ishikawa and Denny Abrams A Pattern Language Towns Buildings Construction is a 1977 book on Architecture. Christopher Alexander (born October 4, 1936 in Vienna, Austria) is an architect noted for his theories about design and for more than 200 The two major principles of the project are that buildings should be designed, in part, by the people who will ultimately use them with the help of an "architect facilitator", and that construction should occur over many small projects as opposed to a few large ones.

Although academic buildings are spread throughout the campus, the majority are located along 13th Street, with heavy pedestrian traffic at the intersection with Kincaid. ^[21] Student recreation and union centers are located toward the center of the campus, with residence halls on the east side of campus. Sports facilities are grouped in the southern-central part of campus with the Autzen Stadium complex across the Willamette River. Autzen Stadium is an outdoor football Stadium in Eugene Oregon, United States. The university also owns several satellite facilities, including a block in downtown Portland.

There has also been a push for sustainable buildings on campus with a development plan that requires any new building or renovation to incorporate sustainable design. ^[22] The Lillis Business Complex was the catalyst for the policy. The Lillis Business Complex (LCB is a building on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon. The building, completed in 2003^[23] has earned a LEED Silver rating, the highest rating of any college business building in the United States.

University media

Student publications

In part because of the popularity of the University's journalism program, the UO has a diverse array of student-run and student-created media.

The Oregon Daily Emerald, published Monday through Friday, primarily features news and commentary pertaining to the university community, and is considered the daily paper of record. The Oregon Daily Emerald is an independent daily Newspaper published at the University of Oregon in Eugene Oregon, United States. A court case involving the Emerald's publication of several first-hand student accounts of drug use during the 1960s became the basis for the subsequent creation of the Oregon Shield Law. The paper became independent in the 1970s after editor Paul Brainerd, the founder of Aldus and creator of PageMaker, realized the potential conflict of interest between acting as a watchdog while simultaneously receiving direct funding and oversight from the university. Paul Brainerd (born 1947) is a pioneer in the field of computer-aided editing design and publishing Aldus Corporation (named after the 15th-century Venetian printer Aldus Manutius) was the inventor of the groundbreaking PageMaker software a PageMaker was the first Desktop publishing program introduced in 1985 by Aldus Corporation, initially for the Apple Macintosh but soon after also Today the paper is supported by advertising revenue and is distributed free to students because of a subscription fee paid by the Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO) with incidental fees.

The Oregon Voice, the Oregon Commentator, and the Insurgent are three separate student-run and student-funded magazines, each of which publishes several issues per school year on independently determined schedules. The Oregon Commentator is a student publication at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon. The three magazines represent a variety of perspectives, and each is funded by the ASUO's incidental fee. In 2000, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Southworth v. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the federal judiciary. the University of Wisconsin that public universities may fund student publications through mandatory student incidental fees, but that university administrations may exert no editorial control over those publications and that fees must be distributed in a viewpoint-neutral manner.

The Oregon Voice primarily chronicles popular culture in a zine format. A zine (an abbreviation of the word Fanzine, or magazine ziːn "zeen" is most commonly a small circulation non-commercial Publication The Voice often profiles music acts as they tour through Eugene, and in 1998 the magazine published a widely read interview with Infinite Jest author David Foster Wallace.

Radio stations

• KWVA
• KWAX

Student media controversies

Controversy has occasionally surrounded the Commentator and the Insurgent. KWVA (881 FM) is a college Radio station broadcasting from the University of Oregon in Eugene Oregon, United States. KWAX (911 FM is a non-commercial Classical music Radio station in Eugene Oregon, broadcasting to the Eugene - Springfield Oregon In 2001 the Insurgent gained national attention for publishing a primer on violent methods of ending scientific testing on lab animals, opposite a page detailing the names, phone numbers, and home addresses of science professors alleged to be involved in such practices.

In 2005, members of the Insurgent Collective led efforts to defund the Oregon Commentator on the grounds that it had violated its own Mission and Goals statement by ridiculing a prominent student senator. The ASUO's Programs Finance Committee (PFC) voted to defund the Commentator. Later, three members of the PFC resigned their positions under duress, including one whose criminal record was published in the Commentator. The free-speech advocacy and civil rights organization FIRE threatened legal action against the University, and the Commentator's funding was subsequently reinstated by a reconstituted PFC.

In 2006, the Commentator republished the twelve Mohammed cartoons that had sparked riots across the Middle East after first appearing in the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten several months prior. ˈjylænsˌ pʰʌsd̥n̩ ( English: The Morning Newspaper "The Jutland Post") commonly shortened to Jyllands-Posten or JP The Insurgent followed by publishing twelve cartoons depicting Jesus[1], some of which featured the deity with a prominent erection. Jesus with erection is a controversial satirical Cartoon published in a student newspaper at University of Oregon. The erection of the Penis, Clitoris or a Nipple is its enlarged and firm state Several groups demanded a public apology or a defunding of the Insurgent, and news outlets including The O'Reilly Factor called for the firing of the University's President David B. Frohnmayer. The O'Reilly Factor is an American Talk show on the Fox News Channel hosted by commentator Bill O'Reilly, who discusses Dave Frohnmayer (born July 9 1940, Medford, Oregon) is the 15th President of the University of Oregon. Both the Emerald and the Commentator publicly defended the Insurgent's right to free speech and Frohnmayer's decision to uphold it, citing the 2001 Southworth decision by the Supreme Court.

The Emerald itself is not a stranger to controversy. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the student newspaper published an annual satire supplement called the Immorald. The 1981 Immorald featured the phrase "Give me a fucking break" in nearly all its stories, which led to an angry editorial in the Eugene Register-Guard, entitled "The Immorald is Not Funny". The phrase had been used earlier that year by Emerald political columnist (and former editor) Greg Wasson, which prompted Max Rijken, a member of the Oregon Legislature, to photocopy the article for fellow legislators and demand that the UO administration take action against the newspaper. The co-editor of that year's Immorald, Mike Rust, went on to co-found the Commentator a few years later.

The other 1981 Immorald co-editor, Mike Lee, had lightly sparred with the Emerald itself a few years earlier, in a mock controversy that had real consequences for the UO mascot, the Oregon Duck. In 1978, the Emerald sponsored a student referendum that would officially declare the cartoon character Mallard Drake as UO mascot. Drake, the creation of Emerald editorial cartoonist Steve Sandstrom, was a black-feathered duck, closer in spirit to Daffy Duck than the UO's Donald. Lee opposed the referendum through an organization called the "Retain Class in Your Bird" committee, itself a parody of a campus radical group, the Revolutionary Community Youth Brigade. Students ultimately voted for Donald over Mallard, in an election that drew more votes than the student-body president on the same ballot. UO officials later used that election as evidence that students "officially" voted for Donald Duck as campus mascot.
