After it rained, Vikings starting quarterback Drew Hubel noticed that the field at PGE Park remained abnormally wet and slippery, especially towards the north end zone. Hubel played his senior year of high school on state-of-the-art FieldTurf, the same turf used in 21 of 32 NFL stadiums, Autzen Stadium, Reser Stadium and PSU’s Stott Community Field. By contrast, PGE Park’s NeXturf surface, installed in 2001, had significant problems draining in addition to being unforgiving to land on.

Students for Unity are offering a free 10-week lecture series on the Black Panther Party Tuesday evenings in Smith Memorial Student Union 296. The free classes, which started last week, are being organized in part by Dominic, a collective member of Portland’s Laughing Horse Books who refused to give his last name.
After last week’s flurry about Erik Sten’s departure from the Portland City Council, one question has remained unanswered by Portland’s media sources: Why can he leave midterm?
In an e-mail sent out to faculty from library administration, the Portland State library discussed a tentative agreement between them and the University to “weed” out about 5 percent of the library’s literature collection.
Everybody’s favorite boy-wizard is back! And this time he is not fucking around.
