14 Wednesday, August 19, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Home workout out unsung hero: University of Oregon to cover library murals PORTLAND (AP) 4 The University of Oregon will cover four murals in a library after years of outcry from stu- dents, staff, faculty and com- munity members who felt the murals9 language and por- trayal of Indigenous people was racist. One mural in the Knight Library, titled the <Mission of a University,= mentions con- serving <our racial heritage.= Two other murals illustrate humanity9s development of the arts and the sciences, with dozens of people under- neath the branches of grow- ing trees. At the bottom of the tree in the <arts= mural, Indigenous people paint on cave walls and sew animal skins. In both murals, only white people are at the top of the tree. Provost Patrick Phillips said the library9s decision to cover the murals comes as nationwide protests against police brutality and sys- temic racism continue after the police killing of George Floyd, The Oregonian/ OregonLive reported. After university stu- dents petitioned in 2017 to remove the <Mission of a University= mural, uni- versity officials hosted a series of discussions about art and cultural memory.

Temerity Bauer, a co- director for UO9s Native American Student Union, and others have met with Phillips to discuss the murals and their experiences as Indigenous students on campus. <In the middle of cam- pus, you see a colonist statue. How are you supposed to feel supported?= said Bauer, an enrolled member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes of Northern California and a junior studying biology. The university9s move comes amidst renewed pub- lic criticism across the nation against statues, building names, monuments and other historical artifacts that some say romanticize prejudiced historical figures. Other mon- uments on campus have been defaced or torn down. <We tried the con- text thing, and it was clear that it was creating, still, this unwelcoming, unsup- portive and, quite frankly, exclusionary symbol to students,= Phillips said. The University will pay to cover the murals with a tem- porary print of the Minnesota Kasota limestone walls. Fit For Sisters Andrew Loscutoff Columnist Many of us have fond nd pes memories of skipping ropes es- on the playgrounds of yes- teryear. A childhood game of <I betcha can9t make 100 skips,= or a jump-a-thon sponsored PE program come to memory. Nostalgia for jump rope isn9t child9s play. It can be an effective fitness device. Here9s why. A jump rope doesn9t take up any space. It won9t take up the spare room or half the garage with piles of boxes on top of it (looking at you, treadmill). It doesn9t require a large upfront expense. It9s an activity that can be done while on hold with customer services, or wait- ing for the kettle to boil for another cup of coffee. One can do it in the driveway, spare room, backyard or sidewalk. Jump rope is an aerobic exercise, requiring coor- dination, skill, and agility. It9s an exercise that has an Summ er Cleaning! • Window & gutter cleaning, power washing • Residential & commercial screen cleaning/repair & glass restoration • Housekeeping & deep cleaning • Monthly, bi-monthly, move in/out P M U J THE E ROP impact th that is lighter than running, but more effective than walking.
