Safe Ride. University Theatre. The UO Prison Education Program. These are all ASUO-affiliated University Departments, but what does that mean? Where does the funding for these programs come from? Who manages it? And who's in charge? Our guest in this week's episode of ASUO and You is DFC Chair Janelle Bond.

Hundreds of Eugene students and community members marched to the federal courthouse on Monday morning to support the plaintiffs in Juliana v. United States, a landmark class-action lawsuit, after the federal case was put on pause by the U.S. Supreme Court.

21 plaintiffs between the ages of 11 and 22 are claiming that the federal government’s inaction on climate change has violated their constitutional rights to life, liberty and property. The case has been in process for three years and was set to go to trial Monday.

Relationships can be tricky to navigate, especially when sex comes into the picture. How do you even know when — or even if — you're ready to have sex?

To answer that question and more, Dana Sparks, who hosts "Asking for a Friend," the Emerald's sex and relationships column, interviewed Maria Falzone, a sex educator and comedian who's best known for her work teaching on college campuses.

They discussed a quote from sex educator Suzi Landolphi on knowing when you're ready to have sex, about communicating your desires to your partner, learning to say no and becoming more comfortable with your body.

On any given weekend night, hordes of University of Oregon students party in living rooms, basements and kitchens. But instead of trap music blaring through Bluetooth speakers, sweaty 20-somethings play indie rock to a rowdy crowd of their peers. In the morning, residents move couches back into place and clean up empty beer cans. Murmurings of the next show make their way around town through Facebook and word-of-mouth.

Eugene students and recent graduates have thrown concerts at various houses around town. As the scene has waxed and waned, so has the production value of shows. But a new collective, the Blue Plant Collective, has been hard at work making professional-sounding house shows a norm at any house around town.

Our guest is EMU Board Budget Chair Montse Mendez, who takes us into the weeds of the EMU Board.
