Bruins, 18-17. The ecstatic crowd, which sat on the edge of their seats, responded by tearing down the goal posts and carrying them out of Parker Stadium. Gill Coliseum housed the NCAA National Gymnastics Championships, where the Beavers placed seventh overall and junior Joy Selig received first place All-American Awards in both the floor exercise and the balance beam. Other facets of the university also contributed to the tradition. The marching band continued to show their excellence. They were invited to perform during halftime at the Los Angeles Raiders vs. Cincinnati Bengels football game. While in California the band also performed in front of the castle at Disneyland. The Daily Barometer received the first place Award of General Excellence from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association and was named as the Best-AII-Around Student Newspaper in the Society of Professional Journalist’s Mark of Excellence competition. Greeks followed their tradition of holding Greek Week during spring term. Nationally-know speaker Will Keim spoke at an All Greek Alcohol Abuse Forum to begin the Gr »w»D Stpoh week. A Greek Talent Show, a scholarship dinner and Greek games were also held. The Experimental College and the Craft Center continued to offer alternative classes to students and members of the community. With the Experimental College, students could get away to shop in Portland, visit the Wildlife Safari, see a Shakespearian play in Ashland or tour Oregon wineries. The Craft Center offered the facilities and instruction to make ceramics, baskets or jewelry, tie dye, develop and print film and work with wood. No matter where on campus you went, tradition was alive. Walking through the Quad, booths were set up to advertise organizations or promote philanthropies. Students handed out fliers to announce their meetings and Greeks teeter-tottered or lined up a “Quarter Mile Worth of Quarters.” The campus was alive and the opportunity was there for every student to be involved and contribute to the continuing traditions. — Karr t Down and dirty Covered in mud.

Students spoke out, whether they were writing a letter to the editor, handing out flyers in the Quad or leading a march. When the campus police began enforcing traffic laws for bicyclists, letters to the editor poured in protesting the $38 traffic infraction fee, even though the fee was the same as other traffic fines. Students disapproved of being frisked before entering Gill Coliseum for basketball games and made their opinions known after their fathers were also frisked before the annual Dad’s Weekend game against Stanford. A bomb expert had to be called in to investigate a hoax played at Fairbanks Hall. The Art Department received an anonymous call saying that a bomb had been placed in the hall. The building was evacuated while a package found along the back wall was studied. Elections were conducted with the president and vice-president elect running together on one ticket. After two weeks of letters to the Barometer and flyers being passed out in the Quad, students selected incumbent Shahid Yusaf to repeat as ASOSU president. Money was always a controversial subject. Students debated when the Oregon Student Public Interest Group asked students for their vote to each pay $6 per year for OSPIRG’s causes. The Daily Barometer and the ASOSU Appropriations and Budget Committee argued about whether the Barometer should receive student fee money to offset operating expenses. Students were surprised to see an increase in parking permit prices from $27 to $54. However, an agreement was made between the university and the Corvallis Transit System to allow students with their OSU identification to ride free. An increase in tuition, not quite as shocking to students, was also shown on fee statements in the fall and discussion of another increase had already begun. Whenever a problem or controversy arose, students made sure their voice was heard. The voice which helped form our Oregon State. - Ka .S—K 6 Stiufem Life Division
