A University of Oregon student reported she was sexually assaulted Saturday, Nov. 9, just after 12 a.m. while walking near 18th Avenue and Alder Street.

The student was shoved to the ground and sexually assaulted by a person she didn’t know. She describes her attacker as a white male in his early 20s, about 6-foot-2, clean-shaven with a muscular build and a large pointy nose.

The suspect departed east on 18th Avenue and has not been found. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about this incident are encouraged to call Eugene Police at 541-682-5111 or UOPD at 541-356-2919.

A 19-year-old freshman was transferred to the hospital around 5 p.m. this afternoon after his front bicycle tire came loose and fell off. He flipped over his handlebars and landed face first on the ground.

Still conscious, the student complained of jaw pain, sore teeth and a headache.

Danielle Koire, a UO freshman, was walking out of class on 13th by the EMU when she saw the loose tire roll by and then the student hit the ground immediately after. She called 911  twice before help arrived.

Matt Halpin, a UO senior, and Ashley Barnhill, a UO junior, both have response training. They examined the student before the ambulance arrived.

UOPD could not be immediately reached for comment.

The LaVerne Krause art gallery, in Lawrence Hall, will be filled tonight, Oct. 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. with artwork by three students: Yu Zhang, Todd Schreiber and Chase Farrell. Doors will be open to anyone interested in viewing some of these artists latest work while getting a chance to interact with them as they will be present for questions and comments.

Farrell is a senior majoring in Digital Arts. He is displaying an 8mm series, emphasizing the fact that a fish-eye lens can be used for more than the cliches. In an interview with Farrell he described his collection as a beacon for his future work.

“These pictures are a reflection of my goal, to find the balance between art and design,” he said.

Zhang is a senior majoring in Product Design. The art displayed by her was completed in her free time for enjoyment. Yu’s work is titled New York Impressions.

Schreiber is a junior with double majors in Art and Spanish. His artistic style was influenced by black and white comic books. Using pen and ink, Todd’s art focuses on clean detail.

The gallery will display the artwork until Friday, Nov. 1.

The LaVerne Krause Gallery spotlights new students each week offering exposure and gallery experience. Applications for space can be found here on the LVK website.

Schreiber’s technique requires hours of paying complete attention to detail. The medium used by Todd for this piece was a 10 pt pen. A close look at this piece will expose drawings within drawings.

This piece was created by burning the canvas then threading the holes. Zhang’s additional pieces in the gallery are paintings.

Cutting edge research on athlete analysis is taking place at Bowerman Sports Science Clinic. Major additions have been added since last Fall and were presented to the public Oct. 24 with tours and live demonstrations.

Research conducted here is a cross between human physiology and biomechanics. A visit here could detect potential injuries and prevent them by pinpointing what exercise is needed. Services in biomechanical running analysis, exercise physiology and body composition are also available to recreational and professional athletes.

“We hope to integrate academia with athletics in the community and connect the dots between research and the everyday athletes needs,” said Director of the Bowerman building, Michael Hahn, during the Oct. 24 open house for the BSSC. Hahn graduated with his Ph.D. from University of Oregon in 2003.

BSSC operates under 12 employees. Some are volunteers, others are completing thesis work and graduate programs. Deepak Joshi and Li Jin are currently running research on prosthetics precision – one of the many projects taking place.

More information and contacts can be found their website and on Facebook.

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many events are taking place to create awareness. Bras for a Cure is an event to raise money for cancer victims. Created by Shirley Lyons, owner of Dandelions Flowers & Gifts, the annual event is an opportunity for individuals, groups and companies to combine their creativity and passion for a worthy cause.

Lyons said she created the event because four of her employees have or have had breast cancer.

100 percent of the donations will be given to Willamette Valley Cancer Institution Foundation which helps local patients. Proceeds will help cancer patients with daily responsibilities and help paying bills.

The deadline to submit a design was Oct. 19, but you can still attend the Reveal Party taking place tomorrow, Oct. 22, at Dandelions Flowers & Gifts from 5-7 p.m. Attendees can vote for their favorite bras. Each vote is $1 and people are encouraged to “stuff the cup,” or vote multiple times. Voting will be open until Oct. 31.

Dandelions Flowers & Gifts are open Monday through Saturday 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and open until 6 p.m. on the last night of voting Oct. 31.

A photo gallery of the bras can be found on the event’s website.
