'How It's Reported: A Podcast': West University crime with Franklin Lewis
"This problem's either going to be dealt with, or it's going to keep going." For college students, crime is an unfortunate if everyday occurrence. For students at the University of Oregon, the West University area is well-known for its crime rate.
West University's rampant crime
Alyssa Barclay, a junior at the University of Oregon, lives near the intersection of 19th Avenue and Alder Street. Barclay says she has experienced a property crime every term since moving there in fall 2018. Last fall, she found her door kicked in, her window screens ripped apart and an intruder in her backyard. Earlier this term, Barclay and her roomates chased off an intruder who she determined had been in her home for at least three hours — while she and her roommates were also inside.

UOPD to convert old 13th Ave. EPD parole office into community substation
Nestled on the corner of 13th Avenue and Alder Street rests a powder-blue building. A small sign on the front of the building says it was at one point Eugene Police Department property — yet the building lies dormant. But University of Oregon Police Chief Matthew Carmichael said, starting winter term, UOPD is turning the building into a “community substation” — a second branch for the department. “It’s going to put us right in the heart of where our students are,” Carmichael said.
UO will move Collier House to build classroom, faculty office building in its place
The Collier House has occupied the same corner of University Street and 13th Avenue since 1886. As campus has expanded around the house throughout the years, the building remains one of the few relics of early University of Oregon. But its prominence at the center of campus is now in jeopardy.

Podcast: Spotlight on Science: Regenerative Medicine and the Knight Campus
Many animals possess the ability to regenerate entire limbs, but our human bodies have limited regenerative properties. We can heal our broken bones, and we could regenerate the tip of our finger if cut off, but what if we could go beyond? What if we could regenerate our fingers, our ears, or our arms and legs, much like a newt or a starfish?
Taylor’s: Is this the end?
"They all want to go to Taylor's and have a good time. It's an experience," says former UO football player Bronson Ohau. (Maddie Knight/Emerald) In the nearly 100 years since Taylor’s Bar and Grill opened its doors, it has been known for rambunctious energy. One owner drove a motorcycle through the bar. Another fought off a man who bit his thumb.
