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.

But students felt uncom-
fortable with the murals still
being displayed.
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.

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

It9s so simple, yet there
are nuances you can employ
to make it a more effective
exercise. Try high-knee run-

skipping, land on one foot.
