Duck U
continued from page 5
found himself in some pretty un
usual situations, including a visit to
an outdoor convention where he
climbed inside a monster truck,
scaled a rock wall and shared a mo
ment with a llama.
“Dormland” is an inside look
at what goes on behind the
closed doors of University resi
dence halls.
Gohoon describes another por
tion of the show as “Siskel and
Ebert” meets “Jackass.”
An additional entertainment seg
ment, “Duck U Music,” features
Jamie Hichens and Ben Miljkovic,
who offer a glimpse into the local
music scene. On a recent episode,
Hichens and Miljkovic recounted
an evening they spent hanging out
with the Wu-Tang Gian during the
group’s visit to Eugene.
Recent “Duck U” highlights
include exclusive interviews with
Shaquala Williams and Bev Smith
concerning the player’s dismissal
from Oregon basketball.
Scriven said “Duck U” uncovers a
side of Eugene and the University
that other shows cannot portray.
But while the program may push the
envelope at times, Scriven main
tains that there is a line she doesn’t
wish to cross.
“We just want to have the most
fun we can and still remain tact
ful,” Scriven said.
The show is not expressly affili
ated with the University School of
Journalism and Communication,
but utilizes equipment supplied
by the department. Funding for
the show is the sole responsibility
of the creators and production
team. This has resulted in various
creative fundraising initiatives,
including a recent T-shirt sale.
Gohoon and Scriven came up
with the concept for the show af
ter meeting in an Introduction to
Electronic Media class last spring.
With the help of Professor Rebec
ca Force, their professor in the
class and current faculty adviser
for the show, “Duck U” began to
take shape.
“We started leaving notes for
her all the time after class, and
then basically bullied her into
helping by taking her out for
sushi,” Gohoon said.
"We just want
to have the most fun
we can and still
remain tactful"

Their persistence is paying off
as the “Duck U” team begins
preparations for the winter term
finale, airing next Wednesday.
After that, planning begins for
the spring set of shows with
auditions to be held at the begin
ning of the term. Interested stu
dents can contact “Duck U” at
