Although the library is expected to be done in 1998, students were complaining about the speed of the construction. Students weren't excited about the project so far, mostly because it was hard to imagine the final product ever being attained. According to Dr. Mel George, director of the OSU Valley Library. The students seem to be impatient, but everything is on schedule . The weather made a larger mess than expected due to an r__ rom Kidder Hall the view - changed daily.

There were at least 20 men working hard five days a week, and the employees expressed that they were pleased with how the project was moving along. Keith Covington, a senior in Exercise and Sports Science, said, The library is an inconvenience now, but I think it will be beneficial in the long run. Since I'm a senior I will not get to benefit from it, unfortunately . The underclass students expressed more excitement for the project. It doesn't really bother me now because I know in the future it will benefit me greatly, said Jeremy Roberts, a freshman in Exploratory Studies. Eventhough students were inconvenienced by the construction Anderson Construction was confident in their work, and that students would be happy with their new library once it was completed.

The homecoming victory started with a week full of events that included students, alumni, and living groups. In an interview with Dave Frank, Memorial Union Program Council ( MUPC ) University Events Coordinator, he explained all of the events that were planned by his committee. The MUPC planned events that included a Homecoming Court, Benny and Bernice Beaver's Birthday Bash, parade, cupcake give es Gutches. a former OSU wrestler who was voted 1996 Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA Championships. was presented with the Dan Hodge Trophy as the nation’s top collegiate wrestler during halftime.

The parade was to include the homecoming court, the mayor, Corvallis Trolley, and the Fire Department; however, due to the lack of student attendance the parade was cancelled. In the pie eating contest between the Associated Students of Oregon State University, ASOSU, and the MUPC, for the fifth year MUPC became the reigning champion. The Benny and Bernice Birthday Bash and cupcake giveaway were both a success. Alumni Relations , MUPC, and ASOSU planned activities for the alumni that were visiting campus. Current MUPC and ASOSU members treated their retuning alumni to a brunch Saturday before the game. A train that arrived from Portland delivered alumni and guests right to Parker Stadium for the game. Open houses were set up all over campus at different colleges for the alumni to see what their donations had been continued on pjRt 16 4 (Student c,jdi£e Ifter the win over 07 Stanford, students i rushed the field and the west goal post.

The living groups participated in events all week to earn points for a tailgate party at the football game. Yard decorations for each house were displayed all week to show Beaver spirit. Teams combined of a female and male living group took tug-of-war to new heights. Yell Like Hell gave each group a chance to show just how much school spirit they really do have. The Beaver Walk on Saturday morning included the football players, cheerleaders, and students as they waled to Parker just before the game. The annual bonfire was held, but the street dance after had to be canceled due to rain. The participation of the living groups made the Homecoming Week a success. Preparation for Homecoming 1997 will start in the spring in hopes of an increase in participation. Points will be given to living groups who attend events, and since rain is nothing out of the ordinary in Corvallis, a sock hop will be held in Gill Coliseum next year after the bonfire instead of the street dance. OSU is heading more and more towards a traditional homecoming. Events were planned and designed to bring the university together in a demonstration of school pride. “We need to hype it up, Frank said. The students may not have shown very much school pride during the week prior to the football game, but after the “big win against Stanford student excitement shined through. On the west end of the field the left upright of the goal post was torn down by a mob of students that charged the field. The upright was then paraded through the campus.

Every Thursday at noon in the MU Lounge the MU a la Carte fine arts series took place. With every performance at least an hour long, students mingled in and out during their lunch hour, and many even stayed for the entirety, to watch a wide range of fine artists entertain the crowd every week. The 1997 MUPC Fine Arts Director, Gideon-Mer Alegado, was responsible for organizing the Spring a la Carte series and contracting the performers. My goal is to expose OSU students to a diverse range of music and other fine arts, Alegado stated. Indeed, he did achieve that goal by bringing 10 $ Mike, a well-received ska band, belly dancers from the Corvallis Belly Dancing Guild, and a harpist, to name a few. Generally, every Thursday performance is booked by winter term, meaning a lot of people who want to come unfortunately must be turned away. This fact only reiterates the popularity and success of the event, one that the MUPC hopes to continue for years to come.

Students are given the chance to show their dads around the campus and see how we live. My Father, the Hero, the theme for this year, was brought to life by the Memorial Union Program Council. MUPC worked hard to make Dad's Weekend fun and exciting for students and their dads. Jeff Low and Katy Fleming the directors for this year, worked with the Dads Weekend Committee to ensure a good time was had by all. On Friday, Dad could attend class with you and see how well you're doing. Dad could spend the weekend at the car shows, the sports expo, watching The Long Kiss Goodnight, sipping Rootbeer Floats, taking a tour of the radiation center, working out at Dixon, laughing at the comedy show, swinging at the country dance, viewing the construction at the library, touring the Linus Pauling exhibit, singing Karaoke, munching at the Dads Weekend Barbecue, taking a Dad and I photo, buying cool stuff for you at the Marketplace and the Lonesome Pot sale, or eating at the Tri Delt All You Can Eat Pancake Breakfast. Whew! Dad could also watch the Men's Basketball team host the two Washington schools or watch the gymnastics team defeat 2 ranked Utah. I was impressed by the variety of events provided by MUPC, says Jay Cudal, a junior in business. Ellen Ditton, a junior in business who organized the Classic Car show, believes, The dads really loved spending the weekend with their son or daughter. It's great to see the dads come out and support OSU. Story by Angie Abbatecola r- tudents had an opportunity to have “Dad I photos CJ taken.

It takes just about as much effort as it takes to walk into a major department store. Is that a bad thing or a good thing? Working at a major department store, I know that if you are eighteen and have some line of income, you are almost guaranteed a line of credit, stated Katherine Fundak. Some of the major drawbacks to having credit cards are the high interest rates and the additional responsibilities that go along with the freedom. I pay off my credit card every month, said Kelli Laverdure, a sopomore in merchandise management. The thought of having my debt increase month afther month drives me crazy. I can't imagine not paying the entire thing off; it would become a burden on my shoulders. That is not the consensus of a majority of students on campus. I remember during my freshman year there was a girl in my dorm that applied for credit cards to pay off an outstanding pre-existing debt, said Moira Mitchell, junior in Health Care Administration. After she received a new card, she would have it maxed out in the next few months and the cycle would continue. However, it is safe to say that the majority of college students have a credit card in their possession. Possessing a credit card is an individual decision that should be taken seriously. After all, it's a decision that could effect a student's financial history for the rest of their life.

Corvallis may be a small town, but students figured out how to make the best of it. Putting their creativity and inventiveness to work students came up with some pretty outrageous things to fill their nights. The weekend began with Thirsty Thursday when students hit the bars downtown. A popular starting place seemed to be J.C s Pizza. With seating and cheep pitchers it made a mellow start to the evening. It was common for students to work their way around the local establishments, and then end up dancing until closing at the Peacock. Once Friday rolled around students threw their own parties. Some chose to go to functions, and others to independent parties. The tale-tell sign of a great party was either very loud music with people milling everywhere, or a house with a couple of police cars out front asking that the noise be kept down. I love going to random parties and just talking with people I've never met. It's a great way to expand your circle of friends offered a junior in the College of Business. Among some of the popular trends were parties with themes. The most common being era parties such as 70's or 80's themes. Beyond that holidays ranked at the top for themes. For the most part OSU students didn't need a theme or a reason to party; they needed a night and some people, and they were set. aking safety precautions , Justin Yoshida. a junior in engineering, cooks for some friends.

Taking every opportunity students got outdoors and got crazy. Mondays became days full of stories from the weekend. Stories ranging from the smallest of risks to the largest. Providing a safer environment for experiencing some of these natural highs OSU offered PAC classes ranging from snowboarding and mountain biking to open water scuba and rock climbing. There are some great classes offered, but they fill up really fast. So if you don't get to register at the beginning you've pretty much lost your chance at the cool classes, commented Jeff Pierce. Jountian biking contin Vy ued on the temd of be L coming one of the most popular sprts. and one of the up and coming Olympic sports. Many students took the opportunity to take the PAC Mountain biking class. Outside of school students became more ambitious in their pursuits by sky surfing, parachuting, extreme skiing and snowboarding, bridge jumping, off roading, hunting, and numerous others. Off roading, I mean REALLY off roading, gets expensive but it is defiantly worth it! I'm not sure if there is a better day than a day with friends and my truck, offered an enthusiastic on looker. With plenty of trails in a close vicinity and Foster Mud Flats, 4X4 vehicles were high in demand around the community. I'm glad that they are having fun, but I wish that they would chose sports that weren't so dangerous. I don't want to pay loans on an education that he's not even around to enjoy! said a father of a OSU student. Although many people didn't see the draw to these outrageous sports, many students saw them as on of the best opportunities that college life had to offer.

Bond Once again OSU students had the opportunity to bring their mom to campus for a weekend planned just for them. MUPC had organized and planned a slew of wonderful things for moms and students to do together. Not only were there the MUPC activities, but numerous performances and activities put on by various groups from all over campus. To kick off the weekend Friday night most people took their mom to see the MUPC Fashion Show and the comedian, Brian Haley. Starting at about 10am things picked up into full swing for Saturday. A brunch was put on in the MU Lounge, an encore presentation of the fashion show, radiation center tours, a free step aerobics class at Dixon, Mom I photos, hot air balloon rides, and even a mini renaissance fair on the MU Brick Mall. Later in the evening Kappa Alpha Psi presented their annual Talent Show Step Exhibition. To finish out the evening there was a choice to either go to the IFC Sing, or to go see the movie Jerry Maguire. It was once again an enjoyable weekend for moms and students.

Photo By Jay Cudal Campaigning and elections blanketed the lives of OSU students for a good portion of fall term and even beyond. With the presidential election, local elections, and campus elections all taking place this year it made for a time of education on human nature. Students witnessed both candidates that truly tried to address the issues and those who wanted to address the negative aspects of the opponent. With OSU being such a large constituency of voters it drew speakers such as Hilliary Rodham Clinton, and Jessie Jackson. Both of whom stressed the importance of just getting out there and voting . The voter turn out for campus elections was down from last year. I think that last year there was a lot more of an effort to inform the student body that the elections were happening, and where and when to vote. This year it wasn't quite so easy; so people didn't really come out added a student in the College of Liberal Arts. The high profile results ended in Jenny Smeaker being elected MUPC President, Matt DeVore ASOSU President with Saji Prelis as Vice President, and President Clinton being reelected. AKING IDUffi.

It is this weekend that OSU students flock south of the border to Lake Shasta for three days of sun and fun. The journey began with a five to six hour road trip, and usually a night of sleeping, or at least staying, in the parking lot. After which the house boats became available. Once aboard the companies took inventory and explained the rules. All of which needed to be followed if the weekend was not to be cut short. All of the companies made sure that safety was not only an issue, but a priority. Once all of the business was taken care of !s evening approaches Ov boats begin to arrive at “Slaughter Island . Each night all of the boats would meet, and line the shore. At night large bon fires were started at three different locations on the island. Photo By Natalie Gould with the boat gassed up and papers signed the weekend began. The days were filled with exploring the lake for those hidden paradises, tanning on top of the boat, games, wakeboarding, and water skiing. The nights began early and lasted until the dawning morning. Around five o'clock in the evening boats would start arriving at Slaughter Island for the night life. People roamed from boat to boat meeting new people and hooking up with old friends. When night would fall the bon fires would start, the music was turned up, and the dance lights illuminated. Finding their second wind students turned up the intensity and continued to party until the sun came up, when it all began again. A couple groups needed to be reminded of safety by not only the companies patrols, but also by the police boats. One boat had to be confiscated during the trip. This proved to be only a minor (Continued on page 39) 36 Student ct£j uring the day various boats would dock all over the lake, or they would roam from place to place.

If anything was lost or broken parts of the deposits were withheld, and once again cars were loaded and headed north to return to schedules and homework. This time honored tradition for OSU students is also duplicated by Western, and U of O on different weekends during spring term. Sfutsia 39 On June 15, 1997 OSU students completed their journey here. After in upwards of four years these students were set free with diploma in hand to change the world. Weather these graduates were going to enter the work force or continue their education each and everyone of them was armed with the entire college experience under their belt. Lining up by college in the Quad friends found each other, and family members made their way to reserve seats for the ceremony. The graduates were then lead down Campus Way where they filed into Gill.

Students received degrees of Masters, Ph.D., BA, BS, and BFA. Each graduate was given his or her actual diploma as they passed by the stage. The announcement of the Class of 1997 being the first class in the OSU Alumni College was made. Meaning that the graduates will now have access to OSU e-mail accounts forever, classes can be taken without having to reapply, and may other benefits. This was also the first class of University Honors College Members to graduate. Each member was distinguished by the burgundy sash around their neck. After closing remarks and the Alma Mater was sang, the now OSU alumni poured out of the coliseum to find friends and family to celebrate and take pictures.

But to others, the All-Campus Boycott held March 14, 1996, was just the foreshadowing of changes to come for OSU. Approximately 2000 OSU students, faculty, and staff met that sunny day to unite for a cause so many of us deal with every day, discrimination. The boycott was held in response to several incidents that occurred in the weeks prior to the demonstration, including one in which two males were indicted for allegedly taunting, spitting, and urinating on an African-American man at an OSU dormitory. The boycott began with a press conference outside the Black Cultural Center and went on to include a march through campus to the quad, a speakout where black students voiced issues and concerns, and a roundtable discussion was held in the Memorial Union. The nonviolent boycott was a success for the minority community at Oregon State. The boycott had a positive impact and brought a decrease in racial slurs, said sophomore Housing Design major Daryl Camp. The demonstration achieved its main goal of increasing cultural awareness on campus. It united students and gave them an opportunity to make others aware of how minorities were being treated at school. It opened people's minds. It effected all minorities, said sophomore Business major Christina Wu. The boycott made people more aware at the time, but it was not a solution. It was just for awareness, said Dorysa Moore, ASOSU Multicultural and Disabled Task Force Director. Another goal of the boycott was the recruitment and retention of minority students to OSU. It was seen on the news channels throughout the state, and potential students saw what was happening. The boycott was good in that it showed that students care, but I don't think it was necessarily good publicity for OSU, said Wu. The ALL-OSU Boycott had several positive outcomes for the campus. Since the demonstration, ASOSU has planned to add four new faculty run Recruitment and Retention offices by 1998. These will include African-American, Asian, 1 lispanic, and Native American Recruitment and Retention offices. After the demonstration, the OSU faculty brought up the fact that they would like to incorporate more minority education into their classrooms, but need more resources. In response to this, the Student Activities Center has supported a teach-in for the weeks surrounding Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January. It is hoped that the teach-in will give the faculty a chance to use class time to deal with issues having to do with MLK Jr. Day. A resource guide for staff is being set up and will be made available to help educate both staff and students. (The ALL-OSU Boycott) spurred the idea of the teach-in during Martin Luther King Jr. Week, said acting diversity coordinator Linda Paschke. Students will even be able to see what it is like to take an actual Alabama voter exam . The Alabama voter exam was a discriminatory device set up to keep minorities from being granted the right to vote in the early 1900's. One of the overriding messages of the boycott was that even though it was great for the students, it still didn't get then anywhere. It's not something you can solve with one boycott, said sophomore Pre-Med student Charity Dean. (Racism is) something we will always deal with on this campus because of the nature of OSU. Story By Jennifer Johnson 44 Student issues Photo By Justin Nelson 45 Students and s4 IcoAut The recent alcohol-related car accident involving a fraternity sparks Oregon State to take its alcohol policies into action. The individuals involved in the November incident will be charged separately. Each of them will go to court and see what kinds of punishments are in store for them. The group as a whole will have a conduct hearing according to the Dean of Students, Nancy Vanderpool. The University will look at what regulations were broken and act accord-ingly. Every year the University looks at heir alcohol policies and decides what needs to be changed, if anything. There is nothing in our policy that could have prevented that incident form occurring. OSU didn't know that fraternity was going to have a party that night. If they did they wouldn't have allowed the party to take place., says Vanderpool. Although the University has certain rights, there is no way they can totally prevent it from occurring. It's a partnership OSU can't have total control over the students, nor will the students follow everything the University recommends. Our goal is to educate them so they can lead their life and get the greatest potential out of it, says Vanderpool. The policies at OSU ultimately depend on what laws were broken, how many laws, and what people were involved. Groups have more regulations than an individual does. Individuals are expected to follow the state law which states that no one under the age of 21 may consume alcohol. Groups have certain set University regulations. The University expects students and groups to follow the state law and the University laws, says Vanderpool. Such laws prohibit students from carrying an open container of alcohol on campus. These laws also take into account what the impact on the OSU community is. If the drinking is effecting the community in a negative way, it is not allowed. There is a high correlation between alcohol consumption and problems around campus, according to Vanderpool. Such problems include assault, vandalism, rape, and others. Compared to other schools, OSU's alcohol problem is not great. There are two main reasons why alcohol is a problem on college causes. First of all, it is reflective of a bigger societal problem. Second, students are experiencing freedom from their parents. They no longer have the close monitoring that living at home provides. The correlation between alcohol consumption and the drop out rate at OSU has received inconclusive findings. Back in the 80's, the director of the Counseling Center did a study on the relationship between sorority and fraternity drop out rates and alcohol intake. The study showed that these living groups had a lower drop out rate than the rest of the OSU community. But the fact is that many students are effected by alcohol. I see at least one student per term that can't finish the term because they have been partying too much, says Vanderpool. I also see people who are addicted and can't finish school. I wish students would do the kind of thinking and self examination that would help them learn that when they use alcohol they should consider what it does to the community, says Vanderpool. Did the choice they make hurt anyone, whether it be a friend, professor, or family member? Sometimes people think that their drinking doesn't effect anyone when in reality it does.

Mike brings with him a whole new staff, with the exception of coach Robert Jackson, and will be our head coach for at least the next five years. Unlike the option which is mostly running the ball, his game plan will be the pro set which puts emphasis on both the run and the pass. Mike has a wife named Dee, son Matt age 12, and daughter Kate age 9. They are still in California for the time being until the kids finish the school year. Mike says that he feels good about the opportunity to improve the program and believes that recruiting is a really big factor. Riley says that if the program can make an impact recruiting, the team will improve greatly. He believes that before he can implement his football philosophy, he has to first find out what the team can do. The current team was not recruited by him, and they are not used to his coaching style. A transition stage will have to take place for Riley’s plans to be up to their full potential. If for some reason after a few seasons the team has not made a drastic improvement Mike says that he is always researching new angles and strategies to improve the game that he'll try. His way of doing things is not set in stone, on the contrary he feels that maybe he tries too many new things at once. Riley's prediction for the Beavers is that the program will be improved in three years, but this is not an easy process this league is probably one of the most competitive in the country, from top to bottom, during his last four years at USC he said that every game was a dogfight. There is no magic formula, it’s recruiting and being sharp as far as plying the game, basically you have to recruit good players and play well.

Photo By Laura Miller Academics ricultural Sciences j tremendous opportunity-these Qy words best describe my experi-Q ences as a student in the College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS). From meeting people from around the world, to participating in leadership and extracurricular activities, to learning from friendly and knowledgeable professors, the CAS has given me opportunities to grow. My best memories as a CAS student have been times spent interacting with people in the CAS and the agriculture industry. As an officer for the Agricultural Executive Council my sophomore and junior years, I spent time meeting people—students and business people alike--travelling all over Oregon for special agricultural events and tours, and growing exponentially in leadership. Also, the time I have spent as an Agriculture and Forestry Ambassador has made a huge impact on my life, as I have improved my public speaking skills by recruiting students to OSU and by being a liaison for the industries and colleges of agriculture and forestry. Finally, some of my fondest activities as a CAS student have been those times spent with Dr. Obermiller, a great friend and mentor. When Dr. Obermiller learned that I was interested in agriculture law, he immediately started meeting with me in a class where I had the opportunity to learn an amazing amount about agriculture law—an exciting and interesting subject I want to invest my career in. Dr. Obermiller was generous with his time and knowledge, and took a special interest in helping me learn about his expertise, land use policy. I know many profes- sors in the CAS who respond the same way to students as Dr. Obermiller did to me, and 1 believe this is one of the best attributes of the College of Agricultural Sciences. It is difficult to compile the list of attractive characteristics that the CAS possesses in this small space, but if I were to emphasize one, I would reiterate that the faculty and staff of the CAS make it a place that students can grow and expand their horizons as they take advantage of the unique opportunities the CAS offers to every person.

Business hen I entered the College of Business (COB) I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had heard war stories from students from other colleges about disputes with advisors, uncaring professors, and aging facilities. However, I’ve found none of these things to be true about the COB at Oregon State. The first thing I was impressed by was the advising office. Like every other college student. I’ve had my share of scheduling dilemmas and administrative nightmares. No matter how impossible things seemed to appear, though, the staff was always able to come through for me. The advisors aren't the only impressive people roaming the halls of Bexell. I'm convinced that the professors and instructors at the COB are some of the finest. Whether it be writing a recommendation or giving leads on possible job opportunities, the instructors at the COB were always willing to lend a hand. hat is the best thing about college? The people? The campus? The classes? Extracurricular activities? Or is it just a combination of all of the aspects of a university that makes the entire college experience something that molds and teaches us to think and live? I think the best thing about Oregon State University is everything I have experienced since coming here as a freshman last year. I am now a sophomore in the College of Business with an option in accounting and a minor in equine science. The College of Business is a great place to be! It has countless resources that I have just begun to tap into. We have terrific advisors, all the latest computer technology, outstanding instructors, extracurricular organizations, and many academic options. All-in-all, business students have the best of many worlds and should take advantage of every opportunity that is available to them. I have had several opportunities come my way through the College of Business, such as speaking on panels at Beaver Open House and going on recruiting trips to talk to prospective Anyone who has used the Bexell Computer Lab or has taken classes in one of Bexell's computer equipped classes already knows that the facilities for the COB are some of the most up-to-date in the U.S. Before saying good-bye, I would like to extend my personal thanks to everyone at the COB. If you ever find yourself in Bexell, be sure to look them up; not just because they are excellent professionals, but because they are just good people. Story By Darin A. Berg OSU students. I have really enjoyed these activities because I have been able to connect with people from different backgrounds and interests while helping them to decide whether or not Oregon State is the best decision for them to make. I know that attending OSU was one of the best decisions I ever made. I love the campus, I enjoy living in Azalea House, and I appreciate the community feeling that binds OSU students together. Although I recommend the College of Business in particular, I think that OSU is a terrific university, whatever your goals and dreams may be. Story By Beth Coleman c business 55 College of ib studies in the College of Engineering are very )diverse and interesting. In this cryogenics lab. Tariq Majid, a Senior in Mechanical Engineering, is observing Kevin McLaughlin, a Graduate Student in Mechanical Engineering. Photo By Jay Cudal 56 5Academics' Engineering o graduate an OSU Engineer is to egin with 1501bs of courage, 1501bs f tenacity, 15()lbs of hope, 1501bs of expectation, and an ounce of luck in your constitution; and end with 150.06251bs of Engineer. Personally, I attribute 1501bs. of any Engineer to normal humanity; no different than any other member of society. The differentiating factor being, one ounce of knowledge. I feel it is my obligation to point out my liberal abuse of the word normal . I make this obviously errant personality judgment by reasoning that we all possess a myriad of personality quirks and it is therefore inormali to have them. Actually, I suppose this as fact; and disclaim that Engineers are simply much worse at hiding these quirks than the rest of us, save Computer Scientists. After all, it is an extraordinary thing to have 4501bs. of your substance whittled away in an attempt to reveal a Engineer within. Deviations from normal social competencies are to be expected. Focusing again on this single ounce of knowledge, I am not inferring that it is a series of facts that Engineers alone can skillfully recite from memory, or a particularly useful formula only they can see in a reference. I am simply stating that. Engineers must have learned a small but powerful lesson before they are able to do their job. The ounce of knowledge to which I am referring is a simple one-line phrase that empowers Engineers simply because they believe it. The phrase? ...?: I can do this. To illustrate, imagine that you are a graduating Engineering Senior, taking your last final, in the last quarter of your senior year, with a passing or failing grade riding on the answers you produce in the next hour. Furthermore, you have had absolutely NO time to prepare for the exam, a tyrannical and unreasonable professor assigning tremendous volumes of incomprehensible jargon which it appears that everyone but you understand, and that you are an hour late for the exam. Feel the weight of the infinite layers of questions within questions weighing on your mind, picture the chasm of insurmountable mental gaps gaping wider and wider before you,... As you calmly waste half of your remaining time, slowly perusing the test. Carefully and methodically channeling all of your frustrated energy into the repeated thought I can do this. Remember, that you are an OSU Engineer, and as such have repeatedly been forced to accomplish mental feats that only the day before were impossible. Consequently, this particular impossible situation, although perhaps more interesting than yesterdayis, is no more challenging. So, with the confidence that can only be wrot from a belief in your dutiful phrase, you succeed in deriving intelligent responses from thin air and pass the test. Working effectively in a situation as serious and resource-less as the one live described is a fact of life for a practicing OSU Engineer. The proof of this supposition lies, quite literally, in everything you see around you. Engineers have the responsibility to physically advance our society. There is no room for mistakes because at best an unchecked error costs thousands of dollars, and at worst lives. Yet we progress, with the thin shell of scientific theory providing an impractical approximation of reality for assurance. The degree to which we, as consumers, abuse the products of technological advance, in tandem with the reverence to which we refer to the Engineering profession is a testament to the manner in which Engineers achieve progress. If the faculty of the OSUis Department of Engineering have done their job, a graduating OSU Engineer need only have learned self-confidence. Bar all else but this, and we will still progress. Bar this too our society will invariably stagnate. Story By Dan Powell c nqineeunqr 57 College of Home Eco their Nutrition and Food Management 235 lab, Qy these students are not just making bread.

The College of Home Economics and Education gives students a great education, wonderful leadership opportunities, and a chance to diversify their talents. As a Human Development and Family Science major with an option in Early Childhood Education, I have learned a great deal about people and families, in and out of the classroom. I know that the education and experiences I have received in the college will prepare me to be a teacher for the 21st century. CHEE also encourages students to be leaders with its many student organizations and clubs. I have gained wisdom and knowledge by being both an ambassador and an ASOSU senator for the college. Being a senator for CHEE life beyond school. Students in this college have access to a great amount of personal attention. Student services, student ambassadors, faculty advisors and group advising sessions all help to ensure that students get the help that they need. The college also offers many clubs for student involvement which help students to network and learn more about their area of interest. In the end, the personal attention a student receives and the interest the college shows in his or her life really makes a positive difference in a student's college experience. Story By Jill Moore is a job I take seriously. The decisions we make influence many students across OSU, as well as the College of Home Economics and Education.

To meet this goal, the College provides a combination of resources that has made it one of the premier institutions of its kind in the world. Oregon's forests may be the greatest resource the College has to draw from. Students arc able to follow forest management trends and conflicts as they happen. Furthermore, the McDonald Dunn Research Forest offers one of the best classrooms for the observation of management practices in operation. The College's foundation may rest on its abundant forest resources, but its heart can be found in the people of the organization. There is a unique relationship between the faculty and forestry students at OSU. Everyone is on a first name basis, and it is commonplace for me to address all my instructors and even my dean by their first names. This relaxed atmosphere breaks down traditional barriers and creates a comfortable atmosphere in which to question concepts and ideas. Finally, the College of Forestry has established a curriculum that covers the broad spectrum of natural resource management. Traditional forestry has given way to the field of holistic management practices which incorporate the scientific, economic, and social realities of our ever-changing society. The College includes courses dealing with wildlife, policy, and resource economics to address the need for well- rounded graduates. The College of Forestry will continue to update its curriculum, acquire necessary forest resources, and foster student-faculty interaction to remain a leader in the field of forestry education.

Throughout my sophomore and junior year, I assisted in leading strength-training exercises in a research study on osteoporosis prevention. In addition to leading exercises for the osteoporosis prevention study, I had the opportunity to observe strength testing, balance testing, and bone scanning. As a result of my exposure to the x-ray technique used to determine bone mineral density in the osteoporosis prevention study, I am presently becoming certified to perform the x-ray technique to determine the amount of fat tissue in a new study examining the role of physical activity and hormones as determinants of abdominal fat in postmenopausal women. In addition to performing the x-ray scans of abdominal fat, I will also be responsible for contacting and scheduling subjects for testing.

Life at OSU has allowed me to develop my personality and goals as only college life could. Everything at OSU has touched me and affected me like no other group of experiences will ever compare. I have met many people on campus that have influenced my life and I have been involved in different activities building up my hobbies. There have been and will be many memories that influence my life. One of which will be my memories of Dr. Jerry O'Conner. The first time I met him, he caught me off guard. I had expected to go in his office and ask him questions about my classes. Instead, he had a hundred and one questions for me. He wanted to know who I was, something few advisors had ever bothered to do. I remember he smiled at me when he saw the look of surprise on my face when he asked me who my lie roes were. I had not been asked that since third grade. As I told him about my heroes, he sat back in his chair and listened intently and every now and then he would raise his brow and smile. We talked briefly about heroes, love and poetry. I even remember he read me a poem. I remember thinking how fascinating this man was to me. I could have sat in his office for hours as he talked about the immense possibilities my life could take. He was like a magician zapping me beyond Corvallis to the limits of my imagination and even further out. Just before I left, he looked me in the eyes and with a strong voice said, Kid, you're going to make it big. Remember your heroes. Such simple words; words I had heard from my family and close friends. I can’t explain the impact they had on me. It wasn't that I had forgotten my potential or that 1 was lacking self-confidence. I just needed someone else to believe in me at that moment of my life. If life is like a road we all travel then I believe every now and then we need cheerleaders on the sidelines encouraging us to keep going. No second place. Dr. O'Conner was my cheerleader that day. Those words have set the tone for my remaining years at OSU. I am more involved in activities and organizations that are important to me. 1 have come to realize that classes and homework are not what college is all about. I have stepped forward determined to live out my hopes and enjoy myself at the same time. I left his office that summer day with a big cheesy grin. I had met a new hero. He couldn't fly over tall buildings or didn't even have a chic superhero outfit. However, he had saved me from an academic slumber to see my potential.

It is fortunate that I am not susceptible to seasickness, as I have spent approximately seven months at sea since beginning my studies in marine geology at COAS. Since I study hydrothermal plumes, the plumes of relatively warm and chemically rich waters that rise a few hundred meters from seafloor hot springs, most of my ship time has been spent at the midocean ridges, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the Reykjanes Ridge (southwest of Iceland), and the Juan de Fuca Ridge (off the coast of Oregon and Washington). In addition, I had the opportunity to examine these same phenomena in West Antarctica, in the Bransfield Strait backarc basin, which is located north of the Antarctic Peninsula. One of the advantages of studying oceanography is the opportunity to travel. Through my field work, and because of the generosity of my advisor who has sent me to other countries for scientific meetings, I have been able to visit the Azores Portugal, Iceland, Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and England. Together with my advisor and co-workers, I have searched for evidence of hydrothermal activity by surveying the water column for thermal and chemical anomalies using an instrument package that was designed and built in our laboratory. This package is attached to a conducting cable (which supplies power to the instruments) and lowered over the side or the stern of the ship. This package is specially out- fitted to prospect for hydrothermal activity. Measurements made by the instruments are transmitted up the cable to computers in our laboratory on the ship. By towing these instruments through the water column over ridges, we are able to determine the frequency with which seafloor hot springs occur, and the impact they have on the oceans.

This may seem an interesting combination of words but the truth is, pharmacy is a multi factorial profession. I learned so much about how to use what 1 know to help others, and I have the feeling that there is even more to learn. In the years spent in college I became part of the biggest and most popular pharmaceutical organizations, the American Pharmaceutical Association--Academy of Students of Pharmacy (APhA-ASP) and also the Oregon Association of Health Care System Pharmacists (OSHP). In my senior-I year I held the membership coordinator office of APhA-ASP, giving me the chance to meet and talk to most of my college mates. This also gave me the opportunity to meet and make friends from other pharmacy schools in the country. At the end of this year I will start my rotations through hospitals and community practice pharmacies. Once I graduate I will eventually work in a hospital. I plan to become a drug management and information services pharmacist while probably entering a Pharm.D. program. Besides the science of pharmacy that is taught so well in our school I enjoy the interaction with the patients and other health care professionals in the practice settings. I worked in the hospital three days a week last year and I work in a community pharmacy once a week this year. Working in a community pharmacy helps me apply newly learned con- cepts in direct contact with the patients. The practice of pharmacy is slowly but surely changing. Our school leads to the new trend of practice where the pharmacist is reimbursed for the knowledge rather than pill counting. In doing that, our curriculum has changes and will keep changing in order to offer a more accessible Pharm.D. degree in the near future, rather than just a B.S. Story By Mihai D.

I know everyone in the biology field had to take the same classes. I know most of them had spent those long and tiresome nights preparing for one of Dr. Gambles biochemistry exams. Heck, I know that most people like me pity those just entering the science field the way today’s technology is moving along. I can truthfully say, however, that I am glad I did it at OSU. Starting as a transfer student here at OSU 1 had no idea that the science department could be so influential. I mean that if it wasn't for the research professors on campus, I wouldn't have chosen to finish my education at OSU. So far, I have been able to experience life in a botany lab, anatomy lab, and most important, a marine ecology lab. I have been able to meet people from all over the world, each with their own goals in science. Also, I took part in a recruitment of incoming first year students and transfer students. This was a really interesting aspect of my college career because I discussed my achievements with those just beginning the field. It's funny though, when I told these people about out my career in marine biology their first impression was that I will be the one trying to Free Willy. Well, I’m not! My goals will definitely keep me in the ocean but not working with the whales and dolphins. For the past year, I have worked in a profound marine ecology lab. I learned more about the ocean environment and how to carry out experiments to form a wide range of different data. I find that the entire realm of the ocean environment is aspiring, from the algae to marine mammals. So, I took the marine biology course taught at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. This class is the only one of its kind taught at OSU and I took part in it this spring. Believe you me that you truly find your love for the ocean when you wake at 4 AM to scavenge through the rocky intertidal counting and collect samples to take back to the lab and examine. At Hatfield, I worked close hand with others exploring marine science and learned a great deal of appreciation for the smallest grain of sand. At the end of it all, I think the most important thing I learned in the science field at OSU is the cherishable bond you form with those who find life interesting and worth the efforts of studying and learning from-though most of us would rather be enjoying live in Margaritaville!

It got a little scary after being in class all day learning a new vocabulary of medical terms and sitting next to top students from around the Northwest. The work load was much more than I could have imagined. At the same time, it was fun learning about the inner workings of animals. The second year and 3 4 of the third year were spent at WSU in Pullman, Washington. There we joined the WSU veterinary class (of about 65 students) and made new friends. The work load was busier than the first year. It was unbelievable at the time, but I got through. My wife stayed in Corvallis where she worked as a parole and probation officer, while I was in Pullman. The temporary separation was hard, but ultimately brought us closer together. By the end of our third year we finally got to work on animals. WSU has a small animal (dogs, cats, etc.) hospital where we got to practice medicine and surgery. After finishing clinics at WSU, we returned to OSU for one more quarter of class work-25 credits! Forget about the one to two hour finals from undergraduate days-one final took six hours to complete! As I progressed through my last year in vet school I finally brought all the knowledge together. Most of this year was devoted to large animal medicine (horses, cows, llamas, sheep, etc.). However, there were times when we could take a small animal elective. My interest is doing surgery on small animals. The biggest hurdles during the last year include passing national and state boards, taking a national clinical competency test, and giving a senior presentation to fellow students and faculty. The entire experience is one I can honestly say I am glad I did. I know I will be happy in this profession. I just hope I can make a difference for the better, in animals and their owners lives.

The projects ranged from microbiology to linking geology with socioeconomic change. The displays were the final step for the honors students to enable them to complete their studies at OSU. With a research project or a capstone project the student and the educator stand side by side searching for the answer together, said Jon Hendricks, director of the University Honors College, regarding the significance of the projects compared to classroom work. The graduating class was far less in size than is predicted in the future due to the first time nature of the group. We’ll build to 40-60 next year and then 100 or so every year after that, said Hendricks. Students in the Honors College took courses in their particular major field of study as well as honors courses that involve greater depth of study and participation than a regular class. As an organization the Honors College was striving to make the University experience as complete as possible for all students of OSU by sponsoring guest speakers, such as Julian Bond, earlier in the year, and sponsoring forums for discussion around campus. We try to stress that being a student at OSU is more than just taking classes and checking off a list towards graduation, said Robby Robinson, coordinator of the project display. Applicants to the Honors College were admitted based on GPA, SAT scores and three essays. Classes taken by honors students are approximately 70 percent from the baccalaureate core and 30 percent from their individual major.

Photo by AP Photo Mark Lenninan The Ye [ BOMBING AT CENTEN Centennial Park was the focal point during the Olympic games this year. The park was a place for people to experience the real Olympic Spirit. But early one Saturday morning that spirit was shattered by a pipe bomb explosion. Prior to the attack there was a 9-1-1 call to warn about the bomb. All the caller said was, There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have 30 minutes. Unfortunately the Police were unable to find the bomb before it exploded, leaving one woman dead and 111 people injured. A Turkish cameraman suffered a heart attack and died while rushing to the park. Investigators were relatively certain that the 9-1-1 caller was also the culprit who planted the bomb. Experts did a tentative profile on the suspect and said that he was a loner who was resentful of the athletes and the spectators who were enjoying themselves in the park. They also said that the caller was more than likely a white male and relatively unsophisticated, which pointed away from international terrorism. Soon into the FBI investigation, a suspect was named: Richard Jewell. Jewell was a security guard for the Olympics and was the first one to find the infamous green backpack which later was determined to have held the bomb (although this was not known prior to the explosion). Jewell was considered a suspect by the FBI for over two months. According to the FBI Jewell's motive for the Park bombing was to become a hero in order to further a career in law enforcement. The FBI questioned Jewell's involvement in the bombing due to circumstantial evidence. While on duty Jewell had taken an unusual break from his post several hours before the explosion and had resisted efforts by authorities to station him away from the AT T sound-and-light tower (where he was stationed). Jewell's attorney said that Jewell had taken the break to go to the bathroom and had resisted the attempts to move him because the tower was the best place to view nightly concerts. Jewell also reportedly had asked a construction worker about four to six weeks prior to the bombing if the tower could hold up to an explosion.

The Beavers scored early, ran the ball well, and made the big plays when they needed them most. They out played the Cardinals in many aspects of the game and disrupted their offense, holding them scoreless in the second half. Players marched off the field with their heads up high as they headed for the locker room to sing their fight song. Hundreds of Beaver believers stormed the field, tearing down the goal post in celebration of the win. For a minute it seemed like the Beavers had won the Rose Bowl but it was only the fans trying to show that they had a lot of spirit left in them. I can't describe the appreciation that I have for our fans. They have stuck with us through the hard times and continued to come back to support us and be behind us, Coach Pettibone said.

Photo by Jay Cudal The Year dT CLINTON TO BE PRESI After months of seeing signs, listening to debates and watching the campaign commercials, America finally got the chance to vote on who they wanted to be president for another four years. On Tuesday, November 5th America's votes were tallied and the winner was William Jefferson Clinton. Clinton was the first Democratic president to be reelected since Franklin D. Roosevelt. Bob Dole, Clinton's Republican opposition, conceded his defeat at a Republican gathering in Washington. Dole's speech ended a prominent career in politics which included 35 years in Congress, three failed runs for the White House and a record 12 years as the Senate Republican leader. Ross Perot, the Reform Party candidate, was somewhere in third place with far below the 19 percent of the vote that he had won in 1992. Perot conceded his defeat but left a defiant reminder of his everlasting persistence by stating, We're going to have to stand at the gate and keep the pressure on, and we will. Clinton had 363 electoral votes with victories in 28 states and the District of Columbia considerably more than the necessary 270 needed. Clinton won with 50 percent while Dole was at 42 percent and Perot at a distant 8 percent. Clinton also had the first Democratic win in Florida in more than 20 years. Clinton won Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Delaware, Maryland, New York, West Virginia, District of Columbia, California, Oregon and Washington. By comparison. Dole had Alabama, Idaho, Indiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, Kansas and South Carolina. Bob Dole has completed his last political mission with courage and honor, Nelson Warfield, GOP campaign press secretary, said. Even in defeat, he has much to claim in the way of success. Dole had based his challenge to Clinton on a pledge of dramatic tax cuts and an indictment of Clinton's ethical record. Clinton asked for four more years by citing the 10 million new jobs and low unemployment that ma Beyond policy differ generational contrast, placir against Dole, 73, a veteran World War II.

Speaking on behalf of her husband and in support of local and statewide candidates, Mrs. Clinton focused on standard democratic issues such as education and health care, and urged spectators to vote. Democrats dominated the event, but a few Dole Kemp posters could be seen. Mrs. Clinton appeared on stage with many democratic local and statewide candidates. President Risser was also on hand to welcome Mrs. Clinton. Oregon is a state where in the past there has not been enough support of higher education, Risser said. This is an important day for our campus, for students to come together and think about issues and be supportive of the democratic process. Lauri Knutz, who is president of the College Democrats at OSU, introduced Mrs. Clinton. We have a high stake in this year's election, Knutz said. Our student loans are at stake, our environment is at stake, and the probability of finding a job when we graduate is at stake. Students have a voice. We need to let people know that we are not ambivalent to the problems of this country Mrs. Clinton spoke at length detailing the president's plans in the realm of higher education.In particular she mentioned his plan to offer a $10,000 dollar tax deduction to students or their financial supporters. She also spoke of the need for quality education of young students and the necessity of providing access to the internet and other information services for them.| Our country cannot afford to have two classes of students— the information haves and the information have nots, Clinton said.

Cosby was found at about 1:40 a.m. by a woman said to be a friend. She later told police that she recalled seeing a man leaving the area. Police would only release the suspect's race, describing him as a white male, but said that they hoped the woman's description would lead to a composite drawing. In New York Bill Cosby's only response while entering his Manhattan town house was, He was my hero. Ennis Cosby had been visiting Los Angeles, staying at the family's Pacific Palisades mansion, while vacationing from his studies at Columbia University in New York. KODS TV reported that Cosby had been on his way to meet the woman (who later spotted him) and had called her on his cellular phone at 1:15 a.m. to say that he had a flat tire. He asked her to come and help light the area. The woman reported to investigators that she, came to the scene to help him change the tire and ultimately became a partial witness. She's the only one who can identify the suspect, Tim McBride, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman reported, This is a murder investigation. Disclosing her identity....could put her at risk. Nothing that the witness reported led police to think that this was a premeditated murder, It's a straight crime, and he's a straight victim, McBride said, adding that Cosby may have been robbed. Somebody just saw this nice car and said, 'There's some money here, a nice car, maybe I can get some of that.' Outside of Cosby's $3 million estate in Pacific Palisades, the entertainer's spokesman said Ennis Cosby had been a happy, well adjusted individual. The family agreed with police that this had been a random act of violence.

Story By Genevieve Moore Budget Cuts Oregon State University recently announced that due to a deficiency in expected enrollment this year over $2.58 million will be cut from the budget. The reduction in the current budget will take place by the end of spring term. Most departments at OSU, from the administration to individual colleges, will be affected by the loss. A total of $1 million will be cut by administration, matched by $1 million from individual colleges. The additional $581,000 will come from the university's emergency fund. The colleges facing the steepest cuts will be Liberal Arts -- $288,000; Science - $218,000; and Engineering - $147,00. Dr. Lee Schroeder, OSU's chief business officer, remarked, each student, as far as budgeting is concerned, represents $2,900 to the institution. We had 890 fewer students than we budgeted for, if you multiply this it equals $2.58 million. OSU was forced to take the cuts when enrollment for full-time students (those with 15 or more credits) did not reach the expected level. The implications and immediate ramifications of the cut will be hard to foresee. Dr. Frederick Home, dean of the College of Science, said, every department will do something slightly different. In our department courses will not be cut, we will probably be forced to limit enrollment for certain classes and will have to increase the size of some sections. The flexibility in this situation is only in part-time staff, supplies and services. In an attempt to keep Hashomoto, associat provost for Academic A fairs, outlined several step and programs OSU is plar ning to implement.

Simpson smiled with victory, mouthed a thank you and clasped his hands in jubilation for all of the world to see on T.V. This time, all O.J. had to offer was a stoic grimace. And then Kim Goldman cried uncontrollably in grief. This time she screamed Yes! and shook her fist and clasped hands with her father and stepmother before the judged told her to quiet down. The jury sent a unanimous $8.5 million message of repudiation to the previous jury that had acquitted the football great of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. The jury sided with the plaintiffs, the Goldman's, on eight counts, finding that Simpson caused Goldman's death, battered Ms. Nicole Simpson in the fatal attack and committed malice and oppression, that which might make him liable for still more millions in punitive damages. Thank God for some justice for Ron and Nicole, said Fred Goldman, the aggrieved father who pursued Simpson in Civil Court. This is all we ever wanted. We have it. Denise Brown, Nicole's sister commented, This is justice! Her father, Louis Brown, who had sat stonily still and silent as the verdict was read said, I want to get outside and scream. The civil jury took some of Simpson's vindication which Simpson had claimed after his first trial. The previous verdict divided the nation over issues of police racism, domestic violence and the quality of justice. The Civil jury used the lesser standard of preponderance of evidence rather than beyond a reasonable doubt to obtain a unanimous decision on all counts against Simpson for the June 12, 1994 slayings. I think that this gives a little bit of solace to each of the divided camps, said Alan Dcrshowitz, part of Simpson's defense team at his murder trial.

This year the team will be in Nashville to tape six shows for the program. Three years ago the OSU Pure Country Dance Team went o Knoxville, Tenn., for the Wild Horse Saloon T.V. show. The excitement that has been building for this trip is tremendous. The group has been practicing long and hard to make their representation of Oregon State something to remember. All of the students on the team will be attending this year. Heidi Lively, one of the team members said, This is really an exciting time for us all, we were planning on going last year, but because of some unfortunate circumstances we weren't able to attend. We're definitely going to make up for it this year. In 1993, OSU Instructor Gordon Sievers was asked to organize students from his Country Western I II dance classes to perform at Oregon State's Spring Dance Concert. What evolved from that experience was the Pure Country Dance Team, which has officially become PAC157, a course within the physical activity curriculum. The class offers something for the people who are more advanced (than I 11 classes), said Sievers. The course concentrates on couples dancing, which Gordon choreographs. The students practice two-step, cha-cha, waltz, east-coast swing and cowboy swing. It's not just a college class, it's an opportunity to show that we can set a goal and achieve it, adds Lively. Anyone who registers for the class is eligible to be part of the team. The class is held four hours a week Monday and Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. in the Women's Building, with occasional practices on Sundays. The dance team is just coming off of a recent appearance at the McMinville Grange Hall, before a packed house, where they performed as a fund-raiser for Nashville..

Photo by Scung-Ho Hong The Ye HEAVEN'S 39 members of the Heaven's Cater cult committed a mass suicide near San Diego. All of the suicide members ranged in age from 20 to 72. were women and 18 were men. While investigators were at first stumped by this mass suicide, they later discovered that it was connected to the Hale-Bopp comet. The members of the cult apparently believed that they were engaging in a war against evil and had been summoned home by the comet. The cults home office was a $1.6 million dollar mansion where they created various Web pages as their income, often for the entertainment industry. Their company name was Higher Source (also referred to as Heaven's Gate ). While maintaining their legitimate Web business the group was apparently planning their mass suicide. They specifically timed it to coincide with the appearance of Comet Hale-Bopp. They even used a picture of the comet, which they considered a signal to leave Earth, as a screen-saver, law enforcement officials said. The cofounder of the cult. Marshal Herff Applewhite, 65, was also found dead. Applewhite had begun his campaign to convert members in 1975. He met with a partner in Waldport's Bayshore Inn and both claimed to be millions of years old. The Two , followers said, were said to be references to the witnesses of Christ foreshadowed in the Bible's Book of Revelations. The book says that the prophets are destined to be killed by a beast before being resurrected to heaven. The Two were from Texas. Applewhite had been a patient in a psychiatric hospital and his partner (a female) was a mother of four and a nurse at the hospital. The couple continued around the nation gathering followers. Eventually some members drifted away and The Two went underground in 1976 but they maintained a loyal following. The fellow Heaven's Gate members who did stay willingly committed the suicide act. The victims apparently committed suicide in separate groups with 15 the first day, 15 the second and the other nine on the third day. Each had a plastic bag over their heads.

There's nothing quite like a bunch of pizza to attract an enthusiastic crowd of college students. At 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5th, smack in the middle of the MU Quad, the Alpha Phi sorority's philanthropy got underway: a pizza eating contest to benefit the American Heart Association. 1 think it's great that the Greek system supports national causes like the American Heart Association, said sophomore Gretchen Gast, a member of Alpha Phi. It's really fun to participate. Each pair of competitors paid $6 for two 14 inch pizzas, courtesy of Pizza Pipeline. The rules were simple: either be the first team done, or if that didn't occur, then be the team to eat the most pizza in 45 minutes. The worthy competitors came from two residence halls, two sororities, and 12 fraternities. After paying the entry fee (which, along with an Alpha Phi philanthropy fund, paid for the pizzas), living groups and spectators placed monetary bets on which team would carry away the victory. People bet on who they think will win, and that's the money that goes to the American Heart Association, said Leslie Gretz, Alpha Phi's philanthropy chair and event organizer. The winners of these bets received donated prizes rather than money. Local businesses who contributed prizes included Knights on Monroe, Happy Trails, Papa Murphys, Little Caesars, Subway, Burger King, Yogurt on the Hill, TCBY, and Sunriver Coffee. Competition began promptly at 3:30 p.m. after a loud crowd had gathered. The Gamma Phi Beta women were some of the few females competing.The winners were two men from the Theta Chi fraternity: Scott Swearinger and Joe Poitras. It took them about five minutes to complete the task, according to Swearinger. When asked how he felt, he replied, It hurts.

Woods closed with a 3-under-par 69 over the 6,925-yard course. Woods, the youngest champion in Masters history, set or tied nine tournament records. One of the records was his 72-hole score of 18-under 270. Another was his stunning 12-shot margin over runner-up Tom Kite, who closed with a 70 . Kite was quoted as saying, The best I could do today was go out and try to win the silver medal. Nobody was in the hunt today except Tiger. Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd shared the old scoring record Nicklaus had posted the largest winning spread, nine shots in 1965, until Woods came to town. The win was historic for Woods in more ways than one. Woods became the first non-Caucasian to in a tournament that, for many years, excluded black players from their course. Lee Elder was the first black to be invited to Augusta, in 1975, He came from Pompano Beach, Florida to join Woods' huge gallery for the final round. Elder was quoted as saying, This win by Tiger has the potential to be even bigger than Jackie Robinson's breakthrough in baseball. No one will turn his head when a black man walks to the first tee after this. After sinking his last and final putt Woods was in the arms of his father, then his mother, Kultida. And they were all in tears. Kite, captain of the U.S, Ryder Cup team, offered Woods his congratulations for the win and for clinching a spot on the team. Kite later said, If he didn't have enough points, I think I would pick him. After receiving the winner's traditional green jacket. Woods received a call from President CLinton. He's laid up with a bum knee and said he watched the whole tournament, Woods later said. Woods earned $486,000 for his win at the Masters Tournament. Not to mention his (guessed to be) $40 million dollar contract with Nike. Nike president Phil Knight said, The sports marketing world never has seen a pair like we have (Woods and Michael Iordan).

The music is loud, the lights are low, and someone offers to buy you a drink. You accept. You turn your head for a split second. Then you turn back to your friends and continue drink You wake-up 16 hours later. If anything, you can recall only bits and pieces of the night. You can't remember where you were, or who you were with. You can't even remember leaving the bar, let alone setting down your drink. This is a classic scenario of someone who may have been drugged with Rohypnol. Rohypnol (row-HIP-nall) is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It dissolves in a drink within 10 - 15 seconds Its effects are like valium, only 10 times stronger. But most startling, and most dangerous of all, is that this drug is not only potentially fatal, but also has the ability to create a temporary state of amnexsia lasting eight to 32 hours. It is called the date rape drug. Rohypnol is a sedative appearing in tablet form. It is legally produced outside of the United States for medical purposes, used for reasons similar to America's use of valium. However, possession, use, sales and production of Rohypnol is illegal in the United States. Rape and sexual assault cases linked to this drug are arising all over the country, especially in college atmospheres. Although no reports have hit Oregon State University, it is important to increase awareness of the drug. Corvallis' small size makes the bar scene fairly ;popular here, and bats are one of the most common places for Rohypnol to appear. It may be difficult to know if someone has been given this drug. Some of its effects are drowsiness, disorientation, dizziness, shifting levels of consciousness, and loss of inhibitions.

Currently (as I type this) many of the Oregon State Universities union employees are contemplating a strike tentatively scheduled for September. The scuffle seems to be over contracts, or lack there of. For the first time, the Oregon system of higher education is not part of the general bargaining system. The Oregon system of higher education became separate in order to do their own bargaining. This meant that the union that represents the system of higher education is separate from general services, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the other services that keep Oregon running. Being separated from these other unions means that the union representing Oregon higher education has to do their own bargaining for their own contracts. So far they have not done so well. While the dust has settled for the other unions, Oregon higher education is still struggling. The other unions have settled with a three percent pay raise in July and another three percent pay raise next July. Also, they will not receive any cuts in their health insurance. The Oregon higher education union was offered a two percent pay raise in January and another the following January. Also, the union members would be expected to pay $100 into their insurance, rather than receive a cut. The Oregon State System of Higher Education (OSSHE, the entity that the unions have to bargain with for their contracts) says that they cannot fund the three percent pay raise that the other unions have settled with. The strike would be for all union classified members. Meaning everybody who is protected by the union (electricians, plumbers, elevator repairmen...) but does NOT include anybody outside of the union. This means that the OSU employees who are unclassified or are classified as academic (professors, student assistants, administration...) will not strike. For the strike to occur the following needs to happen: OSSHE and the union do NOT agree on a contract On September 9th, all union members vote The vote majority is to strike If these items occur then their will be a union employee walkout. While it is encouraging to know that no professors or other instructors will be walking out, it is discouraging to realize how OSU will be affected. The lawns won't be cut, the leaves won't be blown off of the side-walks, the toilets won't be unplugged, the elevators won't be repaired (anybody remember moving out of Finely in the Spring of '96 with no elevators? Can we say seventh floor?) and numerous other maintenance that OSU won't have. While this may seem like menial tasks, it all adds up. OSU has some of the oldest buildings in the area; buildings which don't repair themselves. OSU's Facilities Services is responsible for most of these services which will no longer be in operation if there is a strike. Facilities Services is also the largest department on the OSU campus. This means that it is the most fundamental and one of the most important. While OSU's main priority (something that seems to get blurred fairly often) is education, its focus also has to be providing that education in a safe and attractive facility. Thus, these menial tasks are the foundation of the educational process. Since the union and OSSHE have not settled on contracts, they also have not settled on a budget. Since there is no budget then all of the union operations at OSU do not have a budget to work with. This means that no positions can be added or filled and no pay raises can be completed. While this seems to be a common occurrence after all, many companies work without a budget, it is far from an ideal one. For example, since Facilities Services has no budget they cannot fill any of their positions from which they have lost employees. Facilities Services lost a large amount of their classified, union employees last spring to retirement. Positions such as: painter foreman, alarms technician, carpenters (specifically half of it's crew) and on and on. These are positions which keep OSU up and running. The position of alarms technician is the only one on campus. This is the person who shuts off false alarms and keeps OSU's clocks synchronized. OSU only employed one individual for this task and they have retired. Without a budget OSU cannot fill this position and this means that unqualified people are having to temporarily fill the job. 92 cljea i incKeulew Strike Between now and September 6SHE and the union will be meeting at the bargaining table and hopefully they will come to a settlement that both can live with. If not, it will be a rough beginning to what could be a rough year.

Her statue stands just east of the bookstore Photo By Juan Carlos Torres JeaUiie Section 95 Buildin usan Frock was born and raised in Klamath Falls, Or- C egon, and was raised to be a good old fasnion wife. As she grew up ner Grandfather Prock and Grandma Little gave her hope that there was more to her as a person, during the summers she spent in Alturis, California, on their ranch. Feeling stifled by Klamath Falls, Susan worked four jobs, after the death of her grandfather, to facilitate a move to Eugene. Susan's plan was to go to journalism school because in high school she served as the Editor of the schtxil paper. Plans changed when she got a ioD a Carrow's restaurant, meet a man, feel in love, got married, and immediately became a stepmother. At this point school, according to Susan, hit the road . Two years later she had her daughter. Twinkle. At the age of 33 she started her life over. Susan had come to the point where she wanted to go back to school, but her husband did not support her decision and the marriage disintegrated. So she enrolled in Lane Community College half time for the first year. The next two years she went full time and completed her course work. She then went on to receive a bachelors of science in philosophy at Oregon State and is working on her masters currently. Serving her first year as the Women's Center Coordinator, but her fourth year at the center, Susan and her staff liave accomplished a lot. The first three years on staff she focused mostly on the' programing aspect of the center, but as coordinator she focuses more on relationship building. 1 try and build relationships in the community so that if situations arise then they are easier to handle. Relationships are the basis of my beliefs. If you follow me around for a week you will hear me constantly saying words like community, relationships, and how important it is. And that as a community we work together; eventhough, we have differences that we find commonalities and focus on those, and that we enjov our differences. It would be incredibly boring if we were all the same. I don't think I could stand it. I certainly don't want everyone to be just like me because then I would never learn anything, professed Susan. During this year the Women's Center was able to push through things that were previously started. One being getting a full time sexual assault position. Through a speak out and protest against how two alleged rapes, involving athletes, were handled, the Center received a letter from President Risser stating that there wouldn't be prior notification of parties not directly involved in the investigation, which'rules out notifying coaches. Another big breakthrough was that after these incidents a very fruitful conversation with Dutch Bucman. The past was put behind, and it allowed everyone to agree to communicate before making sweeping judgements and build bridges between tne groups on campus. It enabled recreational sports and the Center to have an event in February to celebrate women and girls in sports. The staff and I are quite proud of the number of people served. We have served 1550 people and of that 310 were men, Susan radiated. Personally Susan has grown too. It has taken me four vears to come to the realization that I really am a feminist, she said. She used to nave self identified feminist tell her how wrong she was and that she had a sense of false consciousness. It left her bitter. She now realizes that those women had just as much false consciousness. After a lot of work she now can see that by being a feminist, she is for the equality of women, and that is all feminism is really about. Looking back Susan tells of how she would have never made it through everything with out her kids. A strong woman, who has made this her community, Susan Prock is progressing with her fife to become once again a wife. Vet this time it is a partnership. Overcoming adversity from being stifled as a child to graduating college at 38 with a huge amount of support from her extended family and community at OSU, and about to obtain a masters there is no stopping Susan. As she puts it I'm a community creature .

Jack Josewski in 1991 went back to school at the age of 39. Due to environmental legislation to protect the Spotted Owl a large number of jobs were lost in the forest products industry, and realizing how this would effect workers the state of Oregon developed plans to retrain the people effected by the legislation. Jack was one of the people to be retrained. With the state program and help from Vocational Rehabilitation he was off the Linn Benton Community College to receive an advanced welding certificate. Plans detoured when Jack met a writing professor who recognized his writing talent, and encouraged him to get involved with The Commuter. The Commuter is LBCC's weekly paper, and during his three years at Linn Benton Jack did reporting and was a photographer for a year. He then went on to serve as Editor for a year and Advertising Manager for a year. While at LBCC Jack received an Academic All American and was appointed to USA Today's All USA Academic Team, which was comprised of the top 20 community college students in the nation. Jack payed his dues at Linn Benton, and moved on to Oregon State University. Arriving on campus Jack applied and received the position of Editor of The Daily Barometer. Reminiscing Jack states, I hadn't worked for the Barometer for a day, and (they see) some scary guy just come in and take over . Jack went on to be the Editor for two consecutive years. He will elate be graduating in the fall of 1997 with a GPA of 3.7, and will be working for the Oregon Student Association, in Salem, as the Communications Director. OSA's purpose is to improve conditions for students in higher education in Oregon. When asked about his education at OSU he said, The real education I got at OSU was not in the classroom. It came from my job as the Editor of The Daily Barometer. What I learned mostly was how to deal with people, and it also had a huge impact on my out look towards diversity and minority issues. You don't do that job without it having an impact on your life . Being the Editor was made a little easier for Jack because he was an older than average student. As he puts it, Rich Bergeman told me 'you have street smarts'. That makes me sound like a thug, but I took it as 1 already have experience dealing with people . Being an older than the average college student wasn't always a benefit. He tells of how hard it was to be in a class with a bunch of 20 year old young adults who just got out of high school, and the material is fresh in their mind. Although he did say, it helps him stay focused. Jack Josewski, who would name his autobiography What a long strange trip it's been , has definately crossed the line, and a lot of them at that. From being a timber worker to Communications Director at OSA, Jack has broken barriers that most people don't even see because they are so embedded in our culture. Story By Natalie Gould Photo By Jauan Carlos Torres (')ac josewski 99 Visio uture erving as the Associated Students of Oregon State University's (ASOSU) President Libby Mitchell made her mark. Starting in late summer and continuing into mid-fall Libby had her whole staff working as a team to develop and implement voter registration strategies for the coming November Presidential election. Although it was the Presidential election, this past November held importance in that there was a lot of legislation that effected Oregonians, college students, and even Oregon State itself. So along with the reach to get people registered Libby and her team also made it their responsibility to keep the students educated and informed about what each of these bills would do to them now and in the future. During the year Libby oversaw ASOSU's three services of Saferide, Study Notes, and the Experimental College; her responsibility also included keeping an eye on the eight ASOSU task forces. The task forces have put on things such as Earth Week, Woymn's Ucrstory Month, Queer Pride Week and 1 listory Month, and many other celebrations of learning. According to Matt DeVore, the Undergraduate Senate Chair, Libby had a great vision for students' needs in the future, and because of her vision next year we can implement many of her ideas and programs. Throughout the course of the year Libby organized groups of students to travel to Salem in order to speak directly to the legislature because she felt that they as the governing body need to hear first hand what students have to say. As always Libby faced some obstacles, but concurred them. She was a great boss because of her concern for her employees. She really knew how to motivate us as a team; she knew how to bridge those gaps that appear so often, DeVore stated. If there was an employee with an issue that was distracting to their school work or their job, she would help them refocus and get back on track. Ever since I first got involved in ASOSU she has been my mentor, the person that I look up to. What am I doing know that is of her influence? Everything, everything 1 do every single day I look back and think 'what would Libby do in this situation?' because everything she has done has been like my role model. Especially because she was such an effective leader in dealing with people and trying to find solutions, commented DeVore, the new President elect. Now that Libby has completed her term as ASOSU President as well as her undergraduate work, she plans to work with a non-profit organization who represents underprivileged or under-represented groups. Story By Natalie Gould c)ltiicAell 101 hen one thinks of the term conservative Republican, negative images may come to some peoples minds. Benjamin James Binek, a junior who was born November 30,1975, proves that Republicans are not heartless or selfish. Ben spends his time and devotes his life giving to his school and community. He grew up and spent most of his life in Albany, OR and wants to stay in the Willamette Valley during his adult years. Growing up, Ben was most influenced by his father, who was supportive and patient despite Ben’s physical handicap of being born with one hand. Jim Abbott, the Major League Baseball player was also someone that Ben could look up to and respect. Even though I knew I could acccomplish things in life, it’s nice to see someone else in my position who has succeeded like that. Ben wants to work in the computer industry or marketing in the business sector. Eventually, Ben wishes to run for public office, ideally the United States Senate. With his business major and political science minor, Ben should be well prepared. Ben's handicap has been more of a positive than a negative aspect of his life. He was born with one hand, so it's natural for him. Ben has served as a role model for children, has lettered in varsity sports, and umpires baseball. Ben also works with mentally retarded adults who are physically assaultive. He was originally interested in working with the handicapped because of a friend in high school who had Downs Syndrome. Her father was able to offer Ben a position doing something that he loves and is important. Even if I had two arms. I'd probably cut the other one off because I wouldn't know what to do with it. He doesn't like fake arms except for when he is lifting weights. In everything he does, Ben rises to the challenge. Ben Binek is also an involved student at OSU. He served as the College Republicans president, which is a voice for Republicans on campus and in the county. The College Republicans aid in representing candidates when they are on campus, and Ben, especially, had a busy year due to the election. Besides his involvement with Republicans on campus, Ben is also on the Executive Committee for the Benton County Republican party. He also serves as the State Treasurer for Phi Beta Lambda, a business club. Ben is a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, which will be active when it reopens in Fall 1997. As a Senator for the College of Business this year, Ben has built a foundation for his future work in ASOSU. Next year, Ben will be stepping up his role in ASOSU as the Vice President for Undergraduate Senate, which means that he will be the Senate Chairman and oversee the student senate on campus. Ben is excited at the challenges ahead and believes it will open doors to the future. I le sees himself as a natural leader and knows he can handle whatever lies in the future. When asked what he would name his autobiography, Ben suggested The Man That Could. Based on his skills and his heart, Ben is indeed the Man that Will.

Colby De Ramus was born and raised in Bakersfield, California and Renee Clarose, a native of Mililani, Hawaii became acquainted on the second floor of Callahan Hall. At first glance the duo may appear to be ordinary college students. However, with their enthusiasm, involvement, and growing relationship with Jesus Christ, Cloby and Renee go above and beyond ordinary . Gaining wisdom as they finish up their freshman year, they expressed that they really enjoy OSU and being on their own for the first time. Renee added, I don't even mind the dining hall food . Towards the end of winter term during a discussion about their plans for spring break, Renee brought up an advertisement she saw in The Daily Barometer, which Colby later described as a wonderful accident . This seredipitous episode more specifically was the Westminster House's journey to San Francisco to volunteer at Glide Memorial. Glide as it is commonly referred to is not only a church, but it is also a huge provider of community service. A ten hour van ride kicked off the trip to San Francisco. Upon arrival late Saturday night, the group of nine stu- dents settled in at the Fort Mason Youth Hostel, their home while in California. The group's fist morning defiantly set the tone for the rest of the trip. They attended not just a church service, but a more appropriate Sunday Morning Celebration. Colby and Renee mentioned the vast number of people, the singing and clapping, and a very theological sermon. Colby summed it up as. Hopping! It truly was a celebration . The volunteering of the Westminster clan came into play at the two soup kitchens in the basement of Glide. One kitchen was aimed at women and families while the other was strictly men. Combined, the two kitchens served between 2,000 and 3,000 people per meal. Colby and Renee felt the whole experience was very rewarding. Renee continued, I had just recently become a Christian and this trip was very similar to a mission. 1 saw different levels of faith, and people growing from conversations. People were excited about what they were speaking about . Colby also reiterated how different perspectives affected her relationship with God. It takes a dedicated group off from school serving other people and the Lord. Colby De Ramus and Renee Clarose are just two examples of exceptional Oregon State University Students. Their two paths crossed and one wonderful friendship formed.

Each of these women had the struggle of being a lesbian and growing up in a small town atmosphere. There were gay people in my high school, but they were the ones who would get beat up and no one would hang out with, small towns are hard, said Suzanne. Elizabeth added, It is difficult to come out to yourself and your family, but it is even harder to be public because you don't know how people will react . Suzanne started at Eastern Oregon College, and found that she needed a network of people she could relate to so she transferred to Oregon State after her freshman year; Elizabeth started her higher education at OSU. Together they are involved in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Alliance. The main projects for the group are to help organize Queer Pride Week, to facilitate their Monday night meetings, and to coordinate between other schools and groups around. Both agreed that the real drive behind being out and their involvement in the organization is for the future. Future people who will be educated and tolerant, and future gay and lesbian people so that they don't have to go through a of the stuff the people past and present have to. The main purpose of our organization is to provide a community for gay and lesbian students, so that they don't feel alienated, stated Elizabeth. Education and retention were both two impor- tant factors to the group because if students don't feel as if they belong then aren't going to stay. There are still some people who don't support the gay community, or who don't want them to be public. One example that Elizabeth gave was a panel discussion concerning a women's basketball game during the 1996 season. People were upset because a group call the Lesbian Avengers were present and handing out flyers. Some were concerned that this would hurt the recruitment for the OSU basketball program, but as Elizabeth sees it would help. Not only would it attract gay and lesbian people, but straight people who want a school with diversity and an open mind. Even if 1 wasn't a lesbian, and I saw that I'd think 'hey, what a cool school they have a pretty open mind, offered Suzanne. As students they feel that the organization has helped them because if they chose they could go on Monday nights someplace where they are accepted for who they are. For me 1 really didn't know anyone so it helped me a lot in meeting people. It also has made me more of an activist, added Suzanne. Elizabeth stated, It makes you feel needed. And to know that you are playing such a big part in something is very cool . One thing that they each conveyed is that everyone is human. Be open minded, and don't hold people to stereotypes. Although people are different, they really are the same with feelings, emotions, needs, fears, and dreams.

L:'.i''.i he 1997 commencement cer s mony holds a special mean V 4ng for the Nelson family of Lake Oswego, Oregon. The graduates Karen Elizabeth Nelson and her mom Bette Ruth Davis Nelson enrolled Oregon State together in the fall of 1993. Karen, a marketing major, was born on April 26, 1975 in her scenic hometown of Lake Oswego, Oregon. During her time at Oregon State she has been actively involved in campus activities that have helped her become the strong and independent woman she is today. Karen's dedication and commitment can best be displayed in her involvement with our Memorial Union Program Council (MUPC), as the Director of the Dad's Weekend Classic Car Show, and the Director of Dad's Weekend and Mom's Weekend. However, her desire to succeed did not stop there, she has also taken an active role in her sorority. Kappa Delta, as a sister and as a traveling consultant. Growing up Karen was most influenced by her mother and her father, Victor Robert Nelson. The influence of her mother is largely in part because her mother was returning to acquire a degree. Bette, a liberal arts major, was bom on February 28, 1933 and grew up in the suburbs of Portland in Oregon City. While at Oregon State University she also took on an active role on campus, as a member of the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. Unfortunatley, Bette had to leave the university to help her widowed mother and the finacial burdens back home. However, this did not stop the challenging mind of Bette Nelson. In fact, she continued her education at a nearby Portland Community College where she was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. At the age of 62, with her daughter Karen, Bette enrolled at Oregon State University to graduate with her daughter and complete some unfinished business. Returning to schcx l was not easy for Bette Nelson, she would have to overcome the fears of returning to school and competing with the members of the younger generation. However the influenced of her mother and father, Maydalena and John Davis, helped her tosuccedd. At first, Karen had some jealous and resentful feelings towards her mother, but I always had the admiration for her too, there was no need for her to return to school, but she wanted to. But Bette was not the only one that had fears, Karen's venture out into real world and eventually her ideal city of San Diego, California would offer her new challenges and experiences including finding a job, but having the goals, motivations, and a definite future plan have helper her tremendously. As Karen prepares for the future she looks towards a career in Marketing and eventually, applying to graduate school to receive her masters. For Bette Nelson, The future looks promising, as she leaves the OSU community with nearly a 4.0 GPA and a candidate for the Who's Who Among American College Students. As a true Oregonian she remains true to her hometown, by refurbishing the Davis Homestead Farm. These women are the defintion of nineties women, strong, independent, and successful. The when asked to entitle their autobiographies, Karen's would have to be Looking ahead to the future, and Bette's Where there is a will there is a way. The Nelson women are always looking to the future and always finding a the will and the way, according to Karen and Bette Nelson.

Last season we were down in Southern California playing USC on their home court. We were being very positive a n d optimistic about playing the Trojans in their own building. We knew we had to be. The Trojans are very tough to beat at home. Throughout the OSU volleyball team's history, we had never beaten the Trojans on their home court. We really wanted to beat them and to prove to ourselves that we could do it. At the same time, we were aware of their excellent home record and of the many challenges that we would have to overcome to beat them at home. 90, eather Lowe, hitter locker, awaits the ball. (Below) Magan Prieto. Photo By Kim Johnson First of all, USC's volleyball team plays very well at home. They seem to gain a lot of confidence in their o w n building. Also, their fan support at home is exceptional. Their loyal fans are very vocal and supportive. Those two factors often are what makes it impossible to beat USC at home. At the start of the first match, we came out very tentative. The crowd was into every play and it was difficult to compete. We were nervous and not playing well at all. In very quick fashion, they beat us by a score of 7-15. The second match began about the same as the first. We were still not playing up to our potential. The crowd was really energizing the Trojans and was frustrating us. We were not able to hear each other at all, let alone call plays. We took a time out and something seemed to happen. During that time-out, we came together as a team and really gelled. We came out determined to fight back and to try our best. Before we knew it, we had began to make play after play. The crowd was into it as much as ever, be we didn't let it get to us. Before we knew it, we had come back and won the next match by a score of 15-8. The third and the final match were very intense. We won the third match by a score of 15-10. We were leading the game by a 2-1 margin over the Trojans in their building. The intensity began to rise even more. We began the final match with revived energy and a new confidence that we could beat them. At the same time, the Trojans began the final match with a strong determination to not let us beat them on their home court. Both teams played very hard. We still were playing together as a team and we began to gain even more confidence with every point we scored. We played very had and ended up beating them 15-9 and won the game down on their home court. We had done it. We had beaten USC on their home court for the first time. It felt so good and we did it together as a team. 1 remember how intense the crowd was at the end of the last match and how loud they were as they tried to cheer their team to victory. I remember how after we beat them, the very same crowd that had been so loud only a few moments before, was now completely silent. They were in a state of shock. It felt so good to quiet all of those thousands of noisy fans who had been cheering for our opponent. It was nice to make them watch while we celebrated our victory in the middle of their court.

Photo By Shari Fluter 124 sAtAlettes the Next Level After years of trying to reach the next level in West Coast men's soccer, this was going to be the year Oregon State really took some steps toward the top. One step, for sure, was to play the first season in the new home field, Paul Lorenz Field. Beyond that, Oregon State hoped to reach the steps of postseason play for the first time ever. And results from the previous season showed a real positive trend: After finishing third in its divisionin the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation last season, OSU returned 15 lettermen. Eight of those were starters back from 1995's Beaver squad that finished 10-5-3 overall, 4- 2-1 in the M P S F mountain Division . We looked at t h e t e a m we had last season, and we thought we went as far as we could, said Jimmy Conway, voted the division's Coach of the Year in 1995. Looking at this year, we might have a chance at that (postseason berth). But that's probably going to be our goal this year. It's got to be. Coach Conway had other reasons to believe why e o Oregon State player is slide-tackled by the opponent. Photo By Barometer the squad of 1996 would be even better than last year, too. The Beavers brought backa host of players with scoring capability. Senior forward Dominick Conti and sophmore midfielder Fredrik Kummernes tallied 15 points each for Oregon State last season. Both had five goals and five assists. Also reaching the five-goal mark in 1995 were senior midfielder and co-captain Simon Date, sophmore forward J.P. Capodanno and junior forward Josh Dodson. Senior midfielder Kiley Couch, the other OSU co-captain, was back after a two-goal, two-assist season in 1995. Conway also ended up starting a freshman in the back - Norwegian import Svein Groem. There were big shoes to fill in that position after the team lost two excellent defenders due to graduation last year. I think though we were young, we were strong there, Conway said. in the middle of the park we were more mature and we were stronger there as well...all in all the 1996 Beavers had a fairly good balance in the team.

I played against some of the best teams in the country like Stanford and Arizona State. The field was very competitive and every single stroke was of major importance. The top twenty sch(x ls in the western US were invited to play in the eleven invitations to the NCAA tournament. After the second day of competition, our young team was out of contention for an invitation; however, on the third and last day we continued to play hard and finished with a 297, breaking our school record by three shots. 1 can't believe that nine months ago I arrived in Portland from Sweden. With the golf bag in one hand, and my suitcase and Swedish-English dictionary in the other; I met my new golf coach Rise Lakowske. Coach dropped me off at my residence hall and eight hours later I teed off for the first round of golf at Trysting Tree Golf Course. I played with Anjeanette Dabbs (jun- Tennifer Ferrante lines up ir I extra balls to practice her putting. £ Photos By Jay Cudal ior), Brandi Seymour (sophomore), and Jennifer Ferrante (sophomore). Anjeanette has turned out to be our team leader and top player for the year. Brandi has an excellent short game, and she can make the toughest putts when you least expect it. Jennifer is always smiling, has a great attitude and is always working hard. The other foursome was Andrea Hehn (freshman), Rachel Borcherts (freshman), Kathleen Takaishi (junior), and Reena Ecklund (sophomore). Andrea has been shooting for the top position all year, Rachel loves to compete and get better as the pressure builds during a tournament. Kathleen redshirted this year, and Reena had her first career hole in one this year. All together this is a very young team that has a chance to become one of the best teams in the PAC-10. I've learned a lot this year and I have realized that playing golf for a college team is not only at swinging a golf club; it is about having a good game plan, being mentally prepared, working on strength, conditioning, and eating right are all of major importance. Head coach Lakowske, with her vast experience, and assistant coach Sara Berlin, with her new ideas, has taught us all of these things. The way that they have been coaching us has lead to major improvements in our game, but has also resulted in a great team spirit. I'm really looking forward to next year, everybody is coming back and we re going to break more school records on the way to the NCAA tournament.

Photos By Jay Cudal Three other seniors join Kingsbaker to lend experience to the club. Marty James is a three-year letterman, Jeff Richardson has lettered twice and Ryan Kelly once. James has had up and down periods during his career that started in the fall of 1992. He has a career average of 75.4, but also shares the school record with a 66 as a freshman, and won last year's University of Portland Pilot Spring Invitational. Richardson owns a career 76.5 average, and Kelly, who transferred from Washington prior to last season, has a 76.0 average. A trio makes up the junior class headed by Chris Janson. Janson was second for the team in rounds played last season with 43, and posted four top-15 finishes. He averaged 75.3 and had three rounds under 70. Janson is joined by Eric Fiskum of Salem and junior college transfer Justin Johnson to complete the junior class. Fiskum should blossom this year into one of the better players on the team, while Johnson was a top player in the junior college ranks in California (Chabot JC) last season. The sophomore class of David Crowell from Corvallis, Eric Dahm from Tualatin and Kyle Hudson showed promise last season, and should be ready to take their games to another level in 1996-97. The trio combined for 52 rounds last year. I feel confident with this team, Ketcham said. Coach Altman did a super job by laying a solid foundation for this program. When I was with San Jose State last year we were paired quite often with Oregon State Tournaments. That experience has given me a little bit more of an understanding of what these players are capable of accomplishing. As per usual the Beavers will be playing in the region's best tournaments, including the Western Intercollegiate, Arizona State and Stanford Invitational, the Ping Intercollegiate and its own Nike Northwest Classic to name a few. OSU will also make a week-long trip to Hawaii, and will make an appearance at the Aldila Collegiate in San Diego and the University of San Francisco Invitational at the Olympic Club. I think we'll be just fine, Ketcham said in conclusion. We have some strong athletic kids that possess great ball striking capabilities. We need a little work on the short game, but overall we'll be just fine. Story from 1997 Media Guide eep in concentration an OSU golfer prepares to putt.

Photo By Tuan Nugyen The first step would be a more competitive showing in dual meets, where the Beavers were 1-9 last season en route to an eighth-place finish in the Pac-10. That will take the entire team being together, setting goals and working together, Podkoscielny said. We're not going to threaten too many teams yet, but if we can take small steps forward, the rest will take care of itself. We need to be competitive against the teams within our reach. We need to win the meets and races that are close. Seven letterwinners have indicated they'll be back this season - seniors Tristy Barrett, J.J. Townsend and Shireen Taylor; juniors Lisa Daley, Heidi Eslinger and Traci Lamoure; and sophomore Gwen Walser. The Beavers will bring in nine freshmen and a transfer this season. I'd like to be competitive in the conference, and have swimmers qualify for the NCAAs, Podkoscielny said. Then, within two or three years, Podkoscielny would like to see the Beavers placing within the Top 20 teams in the nation. That's very realistic, Podkoscielny said. We want to be competitive in the Pac-10. The conference always has four of five teams in the Top 10, so if you can compete there, you have a great shot at being competitive nationally.

I finally got to experience real game situations where I was part of the action, and 1 made a difference on the floor. Before the season began, I had many expectations and goals I wanted to fulfill. I can't really say that 1 achieved those goals, but I was very grateful to have the opportunity to be out there and try. I started the season off by getting stress fractures in both shins. This kept me out of the game for about a month. I had to miss five games. I do have many good memories of our season. despite our record. It was dis-appoint-ing not to have participated in the NCAA tournament like in the past years that I have been here. But, that didn't seem to be the biggest issue. The focus, for me, was to go out and do my best and enjoy the time that 1 have left at OSU.

If they were, they the probably need to be in the pro league playing like Lady Jordan ! I can recall several game where I felt really good after the game was over. Those were the games where our team played together and everybody got involved in the game. I remember playing Stanford in Palo Alto, and we were getting beat by about 28 points. I hurt my ankle right before half time, but was able to play the second half. When the second half came around, I hit a few shots in a row and got some great steals. Other players on our team started hitting shots too, and before we knew it, we were down by less than ten points. During this scoring run by our team, I remember getting a steal, going on a fastbreak, passing to Amber Byars, who went in for a lay up. By the time we cut the score down time was running out and Stanford made some substitutions. I think our team ran out of gas trying to cut the score down! The game to an end and we lost. But I remember how good we felt after the game because we knew we had tried our hardest. We also gained respect from the Stanford team and fans because we gave them a good run for their money. I can also recall when we played Arizona here in Corvallis and we won by about 20 points. This was one of the best games that our team played all year because everyone was involved and we all played hard to beat one of the best teams in the PAC-10. I was determined to play well in this game because I had played horrible against Washington two weeks before. I also wanted to play well in front of me PAC-10 All Star coach from last summer. And I did. I had my career high of 20 points, and gained some confidence for the following games. There are many memories I recall, but paper just isn't enough to express them. 1 can truly say that this season was a learning experience for me, as well as my teammates, and it gave us even more motivation to work harder for next year, my last season at OSU.

The Beavers have also improved tremendously on the perimeter, where true freshman Carson Cunnigham from Ogden Dunes, Indiana, and junior college transfer Jerome Vaden from Connors State in Oklahoma gave the Beavers their best two point guards since Gary Payton. While talk centered almost exclusively around the Beaver's newcomers, there are some veteran players who had to provide early leadership. “There is a lot of potential for growth with this team, Payne added. We are going to have a very different atmosphere around this program. Excitement around the men's basketball program in Corvallis was at its highest point in many seasons, and with good reason.

Photo By Andy Krcminski Vo u g 148 sAthletia Line Up Wrestling is a sport that takes a lot of time and effort. After four years here at Oregon State, I was starting to get tired of all the work. I was working out and practicing all the time, but not getting any varsity time. Then toward the end of the season an opportunity came up for me to be in the lineup. I was excited at the chance to wrestle representing Oregon State University. Shortly after that match I broke my wrist, and that put an end to that season. After my chance to wrestle after all that time in the practice room, I felt that I wanted to give it one more try. Since 1 still needed a couple of classes to finish up my degree, 1 decided to come back and use my last year of eli-g i b i I i t y and finish my wrestling career on the best note possible. Coming into this year I had a lot of goals for myself. The biggest thing 1 wanted to do was to wrestle at home in Gill Coliseum in front of a home crowd. 1 also wanted to wrestle in our lineup as much as possible. These were goals ie official looks on to make Insure that neither the OSU or U of O wrestler makes an illegal move. Photo By Andy Krzeminski Photo By Andy Krzeminski that I felt that I could successfully reach. So as we started practicing, 1 began working toward those goals. I did all the things we had to do as a team, lifting, running, drilling and so on, and I began trying to get myself down to the weight I wanted to be at to have the best chance for reaching my goals. As we progressed into the competition phase of the season my weight slowly but surely came down to 177 pounds, and I began to challenged the guys ahead of me to try to make the line up. I didn't have a lot of success, but I kept working at it. Just before Christmas rolled around, I got my chance. WE were wrestling several schools on that weekend, and Coach Wells was trying to get guys a chance to wrestle. I made weight that week knowing that I would be dressing down, but not sure if i would get to wrestle. As the music started blasting away inside Gill Coliseum, and the crowd started yelling as we ran into the gym and circled around the mat, I felt like it didn't matter if I wrestled or not. This was fantastic. People were excited about our wrestling and 1 was excited to be there. The announcer introduced the wrestlers at each weight and when we came out to the center of the mat to meet the other teams' guy at 177 pounds 1 was just taking in the sights and feelings of being there. We started off with a bang, winning the first three matches in a hurry and then we kept winning as we moved up the weight classes. I had watched everybody wrestle before, but being at the side of the mat and seeing them all do so well up close and personal was a different experience. Approaching my weight I still didn't know if my teammate or I was going to wrestle. Then Coach Wells came up to me and said I was the guy. I was suddenly real nervous, and king of scared. I had wrestled a lot in college and in small tournaments for myself, but to be at home in an Oregon State uniform was awesome. I warmed up and when it came time of me to wrestle I walked out on the mat, shook my opponents hand and started wrestling. As soon as wrestling began I forgot about being nervous and just wrestled. I wrestled a close match, and could hear the crowd yelling at the end, it was so exciting. Words can't describe the feeling. Unfortunately I didn't win the match, I lost by 1 point, but the team won overall, and I got the chance to wrestle. Over the course of the rest of the season I got a few more opportunities to wrestle, but none compared to that first time wrestling at home in front of my friends, family and teammates at home at Gill. The season didn't end up as well as we would have liked as a team. We had some injuries, and some technical difficulties, but we hung in there and expect to be back next year ready to erase what happened this year. Wrestling has meant a lot to me, and I can't thank my coaches, teammates, and friends enough for supporting me and giving me the chance to be an OSU wrestler.

The season was a mix of dramatic spectrum of human emotions that sports can inspire: joys and pains, high flying, some crying, stepping up, calming down, adjusted expectations, firm surprises, new skills, and old rivalries. From illness to injury, departure to notable absence, truly, it was an unforgettable season; it was about as real as they come. January began with a flourish of high scores. Teams across the country were flying out of the starting gate, and OSU was in the thick of the pack. Each week brought new surprises. February opened with OSU's first defeat of Utah since 1992. March saw us host the 17th Shanico Inn-votational. April, as usual, bore witness to the culmination of our season: an NCAA West Regional Championship was a dogfight to the end. Still, when you take it to the edge, the risks are undeniable. We suffered some injuries, we suffered some losses, but still we did not suffer defeat. Some measure a season in win-loss percents. We measure our season in one-hundred percents! To understand the character of this team is to gain glimpse into the depths of belief that individuals can have in one another. Team members stepped up, assumed unanticipated roles, displayed incredible toughness, competed new routines, and refused to use an obstacle as an excuse to give less than everything. We had our commitment to give our 100% best effort in our practices, our preparation, and our competition, and we were not about to let this season finish without giving everything we had. Amid dousing challenges, this team's fire did not flicker. The season did not transpire as we had hoped, but then again, life is about making adjustments and learning from our experiences. This year provided the opportunity for us to lean on one another, develop new strengths, and reach to be the best we could be. Thank you for the opportunity to share what has made me one of the most fortunate student athletes at Oregon State University, the chance to be a part of such an amazing team.

But for some reason everyone knew that this team was going to be special. With ten practices under our belt, we travelled to Spokane for our first game. We didn't know each others names and definitely did not have a comfort zone with each other. We lost all three games in Spokane, but we knew that were going to be a good, if not great team. The rest of fall and winter term flew by as we practiced and waited patiently for our first game. The weather did not permit us to practice outside as the rain pinned us in McAlexander. For four weeks we were trapped there, as we grew increasingly more anxious to play our first game. Finally the dame came and we boarded the plane in anticipation, as we headed to Hawaii. We played our first game without even a single practice outside. We won two out of three in Hawaii and started one of OSU's best seasons ever. We won the series against Cal. State Sac 2-1, Oral Roberts 2-0, tied Oklahoma 1-1 (the eventual Big 10 Champs), and lost our only series to Cal. Berkeley 1-2, and L.C. State 0-3. During our regular season we split with eventual Pac 10C hampions,Washington 4-4, and beat Washington State 7-1, and Portland State 7-1.

This past year’s team established itself as a contending force, not only in the PAC-10 but in the nation as a whole. The numerous teams we beat including 1 ranked Arizona, and the various school records we broke proved that our team is on a steady rise to the top. However, just as important are the friendships that we created, and the overall closeness that we shared. We were not just a bunch of girls thrown together to make up a team; we were 18 strong women who had come together for a common purpose. This purpose was to state our presence and let it be known that Oregon State softball h a s reached a new level. A I -though our seniors will be missed, their spirit will continue to live on with us. Every single player contributed to this year's success, whether it was on the field or providing each other with the support of a teammate. From our most accomplished moment; beating Arizona 3-0, to our most disappointing; finding out that we didn't make regionals, we stood together and had each other to lean on. So while creating a foundation for the success of future years, this team will be one to be remembered, not only by its place in athletic accopmlishments here at OSU, but also by the ties that we established between one another. I look forward to the future years and successes; however, 1 will never forget the wonderful experience of my first year here at OSU; defiantly a year that will always be remembered. Story By Tarrah Beyster All American Freshman Pitcher Photo By Mike Shields 162 Athletics' SapAall 163 1M s4tAletic The 1996 97 season for the OSU Women's Crew team has been one of tremendous growth and accomplishment. Training started late September and continued through the racing season which began on April 5th. The Varsity women started the season off by placing 4th in the Grand Final of the San Diego Crew Classic, their highest placing ever. OSU then hosted the Corvallis Regatta in which both the men and the women rowed through all the competition. Oregon State made a major mark when they had a clean sweep at the dual races against both Cal Berkeley a n d Stanford at Redwood Shores, CA. In the last race of the regular season against the University o f Washington, t h e w o m e n once again showed t h e competition that they meant business. The Novice women's A boat pushed the Huskies all the way to the line and finished only 2 seconds behind them. The JV women also rowed a clean race and cut Washington's lead time in half compared to the weekend before. The Varsity boat, along with the other women's boats (Novice B, Varsity 4), also drastically improved their times and surprised the Photo By Seung Ho hosting Huskies. With 8 months of conditioning and practice under their belts, the women felt strong going into the PAC-10 Championships in Sacramento, CA. Battling both the heat and the other schools, OSU proudly displayed their aggression on the water and returned home with the team ranking of 2nd on the West Coast. The 1997 Women's Crew was definitely the strongest team the University had ever seen. They left a legacy to the program by being one of eight schools in the entire nation to be selected for the 1st ever NCAA Women's National Rowing Championships. So once again the Beavers travelled down to Sacramento, CA to row against other nationally ranked teams on a course they could basically call home. Over the course of 3 days, the women gave a valiant effort against teams they had only heard about. It was definitely their time to shine! And shine they did. The Varsity 4 struggled a bit the first day but ended it all with the sprint of their lives and captured the title of 14th. The JV boat also put together a strong race on Sunday against Dartmouth to end up placing 7th. The Varsity boat also had their share in the victories as they placed 3rd in the petite final on Sunday to bring home the title of 9th. Overall, Women's Crew ended the season as being ranked as 7th in the Nation. A precedent was definitely set with the season ending on such an impressive note. The women accomplished a present goal and also set future goals for later crews. And that's what it's all about, pushing each other and improving year to year. The only way for the program to get faster is for every rower and every crew to go out and row beyond their limits. It's a long process of finding those limits and pushing past them, but the 1997 Women's team has shown a glimpse of this starting to happen within the program. It's only a matter of years until making Nationals becomes expected of the Oregon State Women's Rowers.

Marine boot camp started at the docks my freshman year. We called it that because our freshman coach was a marine and he disciplined us accordingly, or so our story goes. All eight of us from the freshman boat and the eight from the novice boat would grab our boat's 2 x 6 x 10' board with handles on it and begin the run. It wasn't just a run but an obstacle course. As a group of eight we would run through the river, up the bank, over logs, and around the golf course. You're only as strong as your weakest link. A new coach came my sophomore year. He began something that would change OSU Men's Crew. Creating a legacy is what he called it. My legacy began the day 1 heard what every oarsman wants to hear and feel for 2,000 meters down the race course. It was a day during my sophomore year, as we rounded the bend in the river and all eight blades rang true, harmonious to the core. It was that single stroke which helped drive home the idea of striving for a legacy. The legacy gathers these strokes every year and someday will bring them all together for the fastest race an oarsman could ever be a part of. Every year we add another stroke to that legacy. My junior and senior year seemed to blend into one. The trips to Philadelphia for Nationals will be remembered, but it was the Novice Women's coach told to me that brings to light that crew isn't the only thing we ate, slept, and breathed for four years. We were on the bus trip from hell: Sacramento, Californian back to OSU, and the Novice Women's coach and 1 were seat partners. This is how she tells it. She was asleep, balled up and head bobbing with the bus, and all of a sudden heard a erk-erk-erk noise and then a slurrrrpp noise. She opened her eyes and looked right at me. I had just opened up a can of tuna fish and was sucking the juice of the can. The only thing she had to say was, That isn't proper bus partner etiquette..., as she smiled and tucked her nose under her collar and fell back asleep. You really had to be there. Story by O'Brien Hollow 170 sTltAleUcs flens ieuis 171 Intramural Gam Intramural sports were once again a big hit on campus. The sports ranged from, one of the most popular, football, to table tennis, swimming, basketball, water polo, and track just to name a few. The teams are comprised of independent and Greek members, they are separated by skill level, and most sports are free. A couple have a small team fee to help pay the officials. Once competition is under way the teams are ranked, they go through play off games, and finals until one team is the reigning champ. 172 sAtkletics ntwmwiab c amesT 173 74 s4tMeiic tv ntmnuvml panics 175 Intramural Games 176 £7ltAleUc ' 9ntmmwiat c fames 177 Cheerleading Anyone who thinks that it is easy to be a cheeleader is mistaken. The women and men of the Orange and Black Cheer Squads work hard at what they do. The Orange squad, led by Janna Ford, performs at the women's basketball and volleyball games, while the Black squad can be seen performing at men's basketball and football games. The leaders of the Black squad are Dan Creedican. Dawn Oglivie, and Kathie Bates. Says Kathie, “This year, more than any other year, I notice more team unity and that we're having more fun than in years past; with each other and with the sports that we cheer for. The 1996-7 group is composed of eight women and two men for the Orange group and ten cheerleaders and four stuntmen for the Black squad. Their coach, Kira Williams, cheered for four years at Oregon State University and is now in her second and final year of coaching the cheerleaders. The process to become a part of the Beaver Cheerleading group is selective and only the best are chosen. While in high school, a tape needs to be sent for the coach's perusal. Once the review board has liked what they saw on the tape, the athlete is invited to an intense three day tryout camp. At the camp, chants, dances, stunts. cheers, and gymnastics are taught and reviewed. In front of the judges, the cheerleader must learn a dance on the spot and show the panel how quickly they can learn and perform it. Points are distributed by the judges. Once the judges have made their decisions, the top ten female cheerleaders and the top four stuntmen are chosen for each group, respectively. It is no easy task to win the judges approval. The majority of the points are given for talent. This includes gymnastic skills and the level of difficulty. Crowd dynamics are also essential. This year, the tryouts were open to the public, so the judges were able to see the cheerleader's personalities while relating to a real crowd. The final obstacle for the potential cheerleaders is an interview process. But the work doesn't stop there. Once selected, the cheerleaders and stuntmen are on a rigorous traning program. Beginning in August, the team practices six hours a day, like any other sport. They must also lift weights two or three days a week, depending on what the trainers advise. Once school starts, practices are Monday through Friday, for ten hours a week, plus games. Next time you are at a Beaver sporting event, take notice of our enthusiastic cheerleaders and give 'em an O-S-U!!!

The year was packed with activities ranging from a ski trip and barbecue to helping in the charity wheel-a-thon and organizing a campus discussion on sexual assault. Residents were involved in the blood drives and were champions among the other residence halls for the number of donations. Always on the move, Buxton Hall was the place to be for the 1996 -1997 school year. Story submitted by Buxton Hall 190 anifUis Cousiny cNary Mall For the 1996-97 school year, McNary Hall opened as a home to the Honors College after being closed for a year of refurbishing. The completely mobile furniture and fully-enclosed showers were the envy of the other halls. The traditional activities for each quarter included free tutoring, sports at midnight, guest speakers on various subjects, and movies during dead week. Some of the activities that the residents of McNary Hall participated in during the fall quarter included a hike to Mary's Peak, a Hal- loween party, and a Beaver Open House. The activities during winter quarter included a Super Bowl party, Rubberwear, and Dad's Weekend celebrations. The spring quarter inspired numerous activities including a barbecue, a Cinco de Mayo party, a trip to the climbing center, a dance, and Mom's Weekend celebrations. At McNary Hall, residents lost sight of the comforting shores of our previous lives, only to discover lands of exciting friendships and new self-discovery.

With a wide range of activities offered this year, life for residents was never dull. Fall term activities such as the Halloween night capture the flag game and the all hall pool tournament were a great success and fun for everyone involved. Activities that were undertaken during the sunny days of spring term included a great Mom's Weekend breakfast, and the Spring barbecue and volleyball game. Intramural sports participation was also prominent during the spring term with hall sponsored softball teams competing in both the men's and co-ed divisions. This year Poling Hall was characterized by a close knit community made up of friendly, dedicated students that were supported by a capable, caring, and motivated staff that helped to make the year great.

Residents had to go downstairs, in the basement, to find people. The purpose of the activity was to help residents learn their way around the building, but there was a catch - the lights were turned off. The basement seemed even bigger in the dark and imaginations were inclined to run wild. Sackett life was good this year. One could always find something to do, and Hall Council always had activities going on. The first time that residents had S.C.R.E.A.M., a group of residents were coming back from a movie and just about jumped out of their skin! Having 30+ people screaming away their study tension at the same time was just a tad unsettling. Residents were sad to leave at the end of the year and leave all of their new friends, but also excited to see what the next year would bring.

Hall Council worked with the Staff to have programs such as TGIF (Friday night fun). Scuba lessons. Bonsai plants for the residents.

From the events sponsored by Hall Council to the late night fire drills to the staff programs, everyone could find something to do at Callahan. Though known primarily as a freshmen hall, Callahan was inhabited by some upperclassmen as well. Its good location and convenience to McNary Dining make Callahan a choice place to live.

In fact, this year there was no limit for the residents. They spent the year painting on their doors and walls, playing on their new air hockey table in the lounge, and jello-wrestling for food. No two people arc alike. This went double for Wilson Hall this year. They were host to a very unique and diverse group of people and the hall activities captured that diversity. Hemp Jewelry 101, Condom Bingo, Tye-Dye, Make a Resume, and Trick-or-Treating were only a few of the outrageous activities that went on during the year The fourth floor of Wilson was the Engineering Program floor, and several professors came to speak informally with students as part of an on-going program called Snack and Chat, designed to help students be more confident and open with their professors. Having a good time was a top priority at Wilson - of that there's no doubt! The only downside was leaving at the end of the year!

Whether it was going out to dinner as a whole, taking trips to Sunriver, or participating intramural sports. Azalea was there do ing it all. In their living arrangement, all were welcome, and much was offered. The study rooms are spacious, the sleeping porch is quiet, and the kitchen is open 24-7. In comparison to the other communities at OSU, Azalea is an excellent value. Room and Board includes three meals a day and many social activities. However, it is evident that studying remains a top priority. Fall term. Azalea achieved the highest G.P.A. out of all the cooperative houses on campus. It is a great home where lifetime friends were made and diverse opportunities to become involved could be found. Leslie Galloway, a sophomore in Liberal Studies, summed it all up perfectly by saying, Everything at Alalea - the atmosphere, events, and most of all, the people you meet -help to make the transition to college much easier.

By Joe Reporter 202 Varsity House Koinonia in Greek means authentic fellowship, which exemplifies the spirit of Varsity House. As the only Christian living group on campus. Varsity House seeks to bring a strong whitness to OSU. Living at Varsity House is similar to other living groups, but there are some differences. Phil Brown, a freshman from Hood River said, Varsity House is different from other living groups because of the good, clean, fun, and focus on God. He added, Varsity House is definately the place to be. The Thursday night Praise and Worship gatherings drew the house together with other Christians from across the campus community. Ben Miller, a freshamn in Industrial Engineering commented, I have a commonality with the people living here. Jesus Christ brings us together. Varsity house maintained a strong social calendar this year. Main highlights included a Christmas wake-up at Oxford Hose and a trip to Sunriver with Oxford also.

Kissing Rugby, and numerous Tuck-ins and Wake-ups were some of the favorites. November 1,1996 marked Oxford House's first Fall Ball. The residents rented costumes and had a dance. It was a lot of fun for all of the residents and everyone who went had an excellent time. Oxford House also had a work party every term. The Women of Oxford House (WOOH's) were woken up on these days at 8:00am by the work managers to have a quick breakfast. They were then sent off to a room of the house that they were designated to clean. Oxford's small size, family atmosphere, and exciting activities gave the residents a special place to call home.

Life at Reed Lodge this year was a time for growing for everyone. Living at Reed Lodge versus living other university housing gave each of the young women the support of family that they wouldn't have received in another living situation. It allowed everyone in the house to intimately know the young women surrounding them who constantly lended one another support, love. and the accountability one needs while in such a time of change and discovery. The house's year-long philanthropy was the support of a a foster child in New Mexico. Reed took an annual trip to Sun River andhoused a formal dance during the fall term. In the spring, they hosted the first Reed Alumni Dance. Aside from these major events, Reed alsoparticipated in many socials that involved other co-ops.

Fraternity life has changed throughout the years that 1 have attended Oregon State, many people would say for the worse, but I beg to differ. You see, the Greek system in general has gone under a lot of heat in recent years, anything from fighting, contributing to minors, to sexual assault. Now true these incidents could have been stopped or prevented with a little extra effort, but so could have everything that has ever gone wrong in this world. It is not fair to point fingers or label a group of people just for the wrong doing os certain individuals. Now true you may be saying that some of these things are repeat offenses that happen in fraternities, but then again do incidents like these not happen everywhere from state fairs to a local bar, and even in some of America's own households and the same goes with any other offense. Lets take this minute to open our eyes. We must quit belittling ourselves, it is time to let people be what they want to be, and let them be it in peace. The reason people stereotype the Greek system is the same reason that they stereotype everything, that they as individuals are not a part of. I think it would be common sense to realize that we are at a point in our society that we must quit being idiots and stop judging people without getting to know what they are about or what they believe in. I'm not by any means saying that fraternities don't party. quite the opposite, we know how to live it up. For those who are at this point saying, I've been to a frat party and they suck, stop and think why you are saying this, let me help you a( you probably didn't know anyone there except the buddy you snuck in with, b) you probably didn't make an attempt to introduce yourself to anyone new, and c) you don't have an open mind. Now don't get me wrong fraternity parties do get old after a while, but so did Boy Scouts and 4-H. I guess in all what I am trying to say is don't judge people unless you know them for who they are. I would like to take some time and open up the eyes of those in the Greek community, the same goes for you, we must not judge someone just because they have decided to live a different life while here at OSU, in the end we are all Beavers. As for those of you in the Greek system that are mad about the changes that have happened throughout the years, like the B.Y.O.B policy and the elimination of the big double and even six way functions, quit your crying, can't you see that it is you and your own Greek brothers and sisters that are making these new rules pass. You see if IFC and Panhellenic think that since the Greek system has such a bad name in the eyes of the public, we must kiss the University's and community's asses and make all these changes for the better, well screw that, quit being ass kissers and stand up for what you believe, otherwise don't bitch about the new things taking place. My closing comments would be to everyone that is interested in becoming a part of the Greek system, try it, in the long run you will be happy you did, but if you're undecided well try it anyway and take advantage of all the free parties and events you get to participate in, hell work the system.

The RHA also provides many other important functions for the hall residents. We have a New Student Week to help get residents acquainted with college life, said Falotico. They also supply another vital important service of refrigerator rentals to furnish those cozy dorm rooms. Study halls are set up towards the end of the term to help students with their studies.

Then the Math Learning Center is the place for you. Located in Kidder Hall room 108, the Math Learning Center (MLC) at Oregon State University offers a variety of services for students. Not only is this a quite place for students to study, but faculty, graduate students, and some undergraduate students are available to help tutor those who need individualized instruction with their math homework. The test file is another popular feature at the MLC. Students can study midterms and finals from previous math classes to prepare for an upcoming exam. If a student has missed an in-class exam the MLC can facilitate a make up test after the professor has okayed it. The center also offers calculator drop-in sessions, extra calculators to borrow, and solution manuals for homework problems. Marjorie Wilson, a senior in Biology, who used the center for help in calculus, thought the tutors were very helpful. She also commented, The test file is a great idea . Senior in Microbiology, Gary Vaughn, went to the MLC when he had trouble solving his calculus problems too. I was in a bind and they were able to show me what I needed to do differently.

The most important responsibility we have is to vote. Rev. Jackson feels, Life is about Gill Coliseum in late October. Jackson was on a Get Out the Vote tour visiting many college campuses speaking on topics that relate to the students. You as a student can make a difference in the political process here at OSU. Our school has a center called Project Vote Smart , which is a national project run locally here through the university. Ann Yonders worked on it on the national level and now is running it locally at OSU. Internships were very crucial at OSU because of this years national and local election. The project focus is to get students involved and informed in the political process.

This is the question posed to many Oregon State students at some time in their college career. Julie Eskridge, a senior, says, I think it is a benefit to live in an apartment off campus. It enhances your time management skills . After living in a sorority for two years, I was ready for my own place, said Eskridge of her recent move to an apartment. Julie is one of the many students that has joined into the trend of moving off campus for at least one or two years of college. It is less expensive to live in an apartment than a dorm. According to a recent study by The Gazette-Times, the average two bedroom apartment in Corvallis On or Off ? ranges from 450 to $600 a month, and a two bedroom house is $650 to $850. (Discover Our Town). According to Nita Slay, the Contracts and Room Assignment Coordinator at Housing and Dining Services, The average cost of living in a dorm with one roommate for the whole year is $4389. Everything is included except long distance phone calls . There is a down side to living off campus. Small luxuries that you may have took for granted before, are suddenly gone. You tend to notice little things, says Eskridge. Like no garbage disposal, dishwasher, inconvenient laundry, and insufficient heating. To most students the inconvenience is worth it.

That it didn't matter how late I scheduled MY FIRST CLASS, I'D SLEEP THROUGH IT. That I could change so much, and barley REALIZE IT. That you can love a lot of different people IN a lot of different ways. That every clock on campus shows a different time. That if you were smart in high school, so what? That you can know everything and still fail THE TEST. That you can know nothing and ace a test. That home is a great place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. That most of my education would be obtained OUTSIDE OF CLASS. That friendship is more than getting drunk TOGETHER. That I would go to a party the night before A FINAL. That I would be one of those people my PARENTS WARNED ME ABOUT. That psychology is really Biology. That Biology is really Chemistry, that Chemistry is really Physics, and that Physics is really Math! That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few years. That it is possible to be alone, even when SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS. That friends are what makes this place worthwhile!! Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before we can meet AGAIN, AND MEETING AGAIN, AFTER A FEW MOMENTS OR A LIFETIME, IS CERTAIN FOR THOSE WHO ARE FRIENDS.

I am excited, but also discouraged because I still don't have a job. I tried in Winter term to ask different professors how to contact different companies and reference me to various employers. After this conversation it gave me nothing but a dead end. It is quite frustrating being two weeks from the end of the year and not having one interview. I have watched friends and acquaintances have up to three to five interviews a week. I am not asking for that much, but why can't the companies I apply for at least send rejection letters. Are they getting to lazy to send form letters? I went to the Career Planning and Placement Center for some assistance and was surprised they no longer excepted my disk which they sold me last year that has my resume on it. It was a maze to locate the information in this center and their excuse was I should have taken their informational course that instructs a person how to use their facilities. Finally, I jumped on the Web and found some Karen Edwards Tiffany Edwards Melinda Efurd Shannon Ehleringer Mischeile Endsley Lewis Epps Stephen Erdmann Christina Estrada-Rhodahack Curtis Eyerty Gwen Farley Kris Faught Laura Feakes Tiffany Ferguson Elizabeth Ferguson-Brown Sebastian Ferrigno Boba Fett Cindy Finfrock Meredith Fitzgerald Nathan Fitzgerald Chrystal Fleischmann Ben Ford Joshua Foshay Elizabeth Foster Michael Fraser. Jr. Stanley G. Freemyers Michelle Freitas Andrew French Satoko Fukai John Gain Cornelus Gandrusma Ermanno Garall Peter Gauthier 380 Seniors sources. So far, this was my best option. I still have not had an interview but 1 am optimistic. How many times have I been told this is the best year to be looking for a job because the unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since the 1950 or was it 1970's. I am sure with my qualifications I will find a job that suits what 1 am looking for but the process does create a big headache. My advice to upcoming seniors, look for a job while your doing your summer internships. Best of Luck to All of You... I student gets informa Marci Mirich Qs tion at the Career Fair.

On a mission to accomplish this goal they put in countless hours attending events, writing, taking photos, going blind on the computers, creating unique layouts, marketing, distributing, and selling both books and pages. There is so much work that goes on behind the scenes of a yearbook. Many people assume that it just appears every fall, but in actuality it was the people mentioned on these few pages that poured their hearts and souls into making the final product. Coming together as a staff in the fall and working into the summer The Beaver covered the school year in its entirety. From the first days of class to graduation the Beaver staff was there.

To the Staff, Thanks guys! Some of you helped SO much, others not so much, but you were all very important to finishing this book! I appreciate all of tne help and time vou put into this book.
