The Emerald Magazine came out today.. as an insert.
I for one am thoroughly outraged at the under representation of one very important part of the holiday season.
Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Korean present wrapping traditions…
Where is winter solstice?
GAP understands me.
[...]Below are the three documents we’ve been able to obtain that OSPIRG has turned in: a benchmark memo, a budget packet and their spreadsheet that maps out their entire forecasted budget.
OSPIRG Benchmark Memo OSPIRG Budget Packet OSPIRG Contract BudgetI’m sure all the interested parties will read the documents themselves, [...]
Why the Commentator receives e-mails like this I will never know. But Jesus, I’m glad we do. All I can say is that the world is slowly getting dumber, one rogue at a time. I’ll let the e-mail do the talking:
While the former Governor and Vice Presidential [...]
Guy Simmons and I will be appearing on the KVAL morning news, specifically an interview with anchor Shelley Kurtz on Monday, November 30th.
It will be my first time on TV since I appeared on Ramblin’ Rod when I was 7. I’m not sure about Simmons though; [...]
According to a Daily Emerald story today by Emily Gillespie, OSPIRG is seeking to refund themselves for the upcoming 2010-11 school year. This should come as no surprise to students, as the group’s entire motives as of late have been to get themselves some sweet student funding (think little [...]
Well, “health care reform” is on its way to the Senate floor. When it passes (not if, but when), it will amount to little more than billions of dollars worth of wasted money and one big “WIN” check-mark in Team Blue’s column… and make no mistake, this isn’t about the [...]
Last issue of the term, full of holiday cheer.

Undercover at Powershift Thanksgiving with the O’Sullivans Elves behaving badly Holiday Drinking Game! Shameless Book Promotion What Happens when The OC goes to Texas [...]Former ASUO President Sam Dottters-Katz is up to something. What it is exactly I am not sure. But I bet it will be good. His opinion piece that was originally printed last Monday the 16th in the ole’ dirty, appears today in The Register-Guard.
[...]I’d like to extend our congratulations to OC Editor Emeritus and current editor of the excellent The Truth About Cars blog for getting an op-ed published in no lesser a venue than the New York Times. Anyone who said the OC was nothing but a bunch of drunken [...]
"Your iPhone, sir..."
“I don’t know about you but whenever I read a blog I do not let my eye drop below half the screen in case I accidentally hit the bit where the comments reside. Of all the stinking, sliding, scuttling, weird, entomological creatures [...]
Well the Ducks may get their chance at the Rose Bowl (or at least at Oregon State) after beating Arizona tonight in double overtime.
It looks like we also won our little challenge with the Arizona Desert Lamp, meaning they have to purchase 3 copies [...]
The student-produced “I Smell Roses” video has been getting a lot of publicity recently. Its nationwide attention has garnered positive reviews, however Disney and the UO Athletic Department are not happy.
The Athletic Department has asked the University of Oregon rap group “Supwitchugirl” to take down the video from Youtube. [...]
In rebuttal to yesterday’s trash-talkin’ courtesy of Evan from the Desert Lamp, Drew’s post has been put up on the Desert Lamp site.
Obviously Drew has won the fight. Now let’s watch the Ducks win the battle on Saturday.
[...]Sadly, late Wednesday the founder of my favorite restaurant in Eugene, Papa’s Soul Food Kitchen, died of a heart attack.
According to the Register-Guard Ted “Papa” Lee was a well-known musician who helped many local musicians get started here in Eugene. His band 100% Delta Blues Stomp was planning on a [...]
The following is an arranged cross-posting of trash talk between the Oregon Commentator and the Arizona Desert Lamp in preparation for Saturday’s football game vs. Arizona. Don’t like what’s being said? Feel free to trash talk back, and look for our rebuttal posting on the Desert Lamp website, www.desertlamp.com [...]
By setting a zero percent benchmark at its Wednesday night meeting, the ASUO Senate sent a message, loud and clear: “Go Ducks, but LTD can lick my sweaty, shaven nutsack.”
Or something like that. Probably not that exactly, considering that slightly more than half the Senate lacks nutsacks, sweaty and shaven [...]
The ole’ polects over at the Arizona Desert Lamp have offered up a friendly wager on the upcoming Oregon vs. Arizona football game. If the Ducks win they will buy three of our book, By the Barrel: 25 Years of the Oregon Commentator at full price, with a memo [...]
By the Barrel: 25 Years of the Oregon Commentator is now available for $10 in the UO Bookstore on 13th and Kincaid! The book is featured on a table as you walk up the [...]
Since we’re on the subject of Das Frohn, I thought I’d share a little something we received from the former University of Oregon President after asking him to contribute to By the Barrel: 25 Years of the Oregon Commentator. The following appears on the back cover of the book and [...]
I have been noticing our beloved Das Frohn around campus so I decided to start a watch. And where better to start it than when he is spotted at RENNIES! extra points to lyzi diamond and I for having lunch near him. Its almost like we ate together! Cool!

Below is an exerpt from Tyler Graf’s portion of By the Barrel: 25 Years of the Oregon Commentator. On the edge about buying a copy? You could do worse for $10.
I was told to maintain wall-eyed concentration on the video camera in front of me while my [...]
Since the next Commentator does not come out before this food drive I’ve decided to post the information here on the website. The Commentator strongly encourages you to go down and donate a can or two.
The Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO) Senate will be conducting a canned [...]
250 copies of “By the Barrel: 25 Years of the Oregon Commentator” fresh off the press.
Well, my friends the day has finally come. 12 boxes of our book, By the Barrel: 25 years of the Oregon Commentator arrived this morning and god they look [...]
I fear I can’t write something that will do justice to that ASUO Senate meeting. It was “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee.” It was “Don Quijote.” It was “The Four Seasons.” And I? I am merely William Hung, tuneless, charmless, clueless.
Let’s plunge in anyway at a most unexpected [...]
Apparently LaGarrette Blount was reinstated today.
My opinion is, and always has been, that his suspension should have been a game, two at the most. Anthony Reddick, the player who used his helmet as a weapon and sparked a humongous brawl in 2006, was only [...]

I drove up to Salem today and got my first five advance copies of the Oregon Commentator book By the Barrel: 25 Years of the Oregon Commentator.
I have to say, it looks absolutely gorgeous. Josh McCormick did an amazing job with the cover, David Frohnmayer’s [...]
Hi there. Tonight we’ve got another ASUO Senate meeting coming up that you can follow live below. Looking at the agenda for the meeting, it appears special requests are out and confirmations are in. ASUO President Emma Kallaway still has Xavier Aranda’s confirmation to the ASUO Senate pending, and [...]
