Students "Reset The Code" At The University Of Oregon

Students "Reset The Code" At The University Of Oregon

Recently, mysterious "95_" stickers have started showing up all over University of Oregon's campus with no explanation. Everyone wants to know what is going on.

It turns out that this movement is a "student-driven change initiative at the University of Oregon" called Reset the Code. The campaign was created by Allen Hall Advertising and asks members of the community to practice a higher standard of respect. It's a reminder to treat others how you want to be treated.

The idea is simple. Every student at the UO is given an ID number that starts with "95." We are all united by those numbers, yet they are all unique. If everyone treated each other with dignity and respect, it would make a large impact. Community members are asked to sign a pledge to follow the code.

The campaign produced a series of videos that provide a guide for how to "reset the code" and what to do in difficult situations.

They also created a powerful video that demonstrated the power of words and the need to stand up for each other.


On inauguration day, the campaign hosted a "reset day" and asked students to come to the Erb Memorial Union to sign a banner with the Reset pledge. The campaign is also promoting a series of lectures and activities that are aimed at strengthening the community and fighting social issues.

The campaign is not meant to be political but is influenced by the timing of the inauguration. It is a sensitive time for many people at the University of Oregon and this movement is here to support students.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
