University of Oregon may cut state's only history PhD program
Humanities graduate programs including history, romance languages and comparative literature are on the chopping block as University of Oregon prepares to address a $65 million structural budget deficit . No final decisions have been made, but proposals have trickled down to faculty and students. The university community has felt the heavy weight of uncertainty as the end of October draws closer. On Oct. 28, updated proposals will be presented at the University Senate meeting, kickstarting the community input period before final decisions come before the Board of Trustees in mid-December. "I thought the hard parts of this term would be being back in the classroom, keeping up with the graduate course load, getting to know people, learning my way around town," said first-year history Ph.D. student Clara Barclay. "Instead, I'm focused on fighting for the continued existence of my program. That's certainly not what I expected or wanted from my first term in graduate school." More: University of Oregon faculty fear $65M deficit threatens tenure History department faculty were told the department's graduate programs are among several being considered for "sunsetting," meaning no more history master's or doctoral students would be accepted, but current students could still continue their program.

Philomath girls soccer still unbeaten in league play
Kya Bolton didn’t like the call that set up a drop ball midway through the first half Tuesday. She did something about it. The Philomath junior scored twice, including a goal moments after the restart, and the Warriors defeated Cascade 3-0 at Philomath High School to stay unbeaten in league play.“It was a drop ball, and it kind of made me a little mad because it was not a good call,” Bolton said. “So I was throwing a little bit of a fit, and I just tried to attack it after he dropped it.”
