This is how the word perspective is defined. Those found in the Oreson State University campus and community have perspectives that reflect the environment, diversity, and unity found within this institution. Each individual has a different and unique perspective or outlook on elements within their life here at OSU. These perspectives are as varied as the individuals themselves and are formed from personal experiences, backgrounds, knowledge, values and aspirations. Each aspect of campus life is viewed differently and has a different meaning to each student, staff, faculty, administrator 2 • opening Photo 8y Stacy TcHC'ra Photo By Joe Murray opening • 3 4 • opening or visitor who is found here. These dif- ferent individual perspectives are reflected when you look at those found within this university. Students at Oregon State University were given an abundance of opportunities not only throughout the year, but throughout their collegiate career to experience perspectives of those who they agreed with, those they opposed, and those they learned from. Students gained new perspectives and insight through their involvement in academics, student life, sporting events, organizations and living groups. All of these aspects of Oregon State University proved to be invaluable to a student's college experience. OSU students gained new perspectives through academics no matter what their age. For those attending Oregon opening • 5 State straight from high school they viewed moving away from home as an opportunity to define themselves and gain a sense of independence. For students enrolling from a two year institution this meant the next step in their education. Oregon State was also home to a increasing number of students who were returning to school to gain perhaps an additional degree or were experiencing being a college student for the first time. Each of these students held a different perspective regarding their education and the measures necessary to gain that knowledge. Students who were part of an organization, living group, greek house or sports teams gained a new perspective when they were given the opportunity to work with others who shared a common goal to gain a common result. These 6 • opening PTxXO By Joe Murr� y opening • 7 8 • opening students were required to accept the different thoughts, ideas and attitudes of others in order to remain focused on the outcome.In the situations when students were living with those they had never met and were beginning to share their life with, their individual perspectives became very important. A persons perspective on life is just as unique and differentiated as their fingerprint, and Oregon State University not only facilitated the discovery of new perspectives but fostered those which contributed to the diversity of campus. “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” - Arthur Schopenhauer opening • 9 Ph xo By NkoIc Wickcni 10 • student life division • 11 Many fun events were planned for students to enjoy with their dads. The first night was a night of laughter at the Comedy Show. Dad's and students enjoyed themselves sharing a few laughs invoked by Don Friesen. Photo By Jo« Murray For the first time in the recent past dads who visited for the weekend had the opportunity to attend an OSU football game. This experience was made that much better when the Bcavs were victorious over Cal. Photo By Janette Letcht One of the events put on for the weekend was the car show. The show was attended by many students and dads wandering through the MU Quad. Photo By Janette le tht The OSU football game proved to be the main attraction of the weekend for many students and dads which was made obvious by the lines of people making their way to Reser Stadium. Photo By Janette le ht 12 • student life Anthony Ramos, MUPC Dad's Weekend Director stated, Dad's weekend has become a great tradition here as we're going on our 65th year at OSU, the weekend is a great time for dad's and students. Hoping for better weather and an increased turnout of dads, the weekend for the 1999-2000 school year was moved to November 5-6 as opposed to it's traditional February date. The transition was accepted well as between 3,000-3,500 dads were in attendance. These men were able to attend the car bashing that took place in the Memorial Union brick mall, the radio airplane show, or the classic and luxury car displays, with their sons or daughters. Also, for those avid sport fans, the move to fall term provided the men's preseason basketball game and the OSU football victory game against the University of California. The comedy show format was changed from last year to be more like a comedy club and featured Will Keim and comedi- an Don Friesen. Keim, a well known motivational speaker and new-comer to stand-up comedy, opened the act for Friesen which was held in the Valley Football Center. The traditional hot air ballon rides were brought back once again and took place in the library quad where the balloon was tethered for safety. Cost for the rides were $2 for one person and $3 for two. If all of this was still not enough, the Dad's Weekend movie “Matrix played all weekend in the Milam Auditorium at different times throughout Friday and Saturday. The MU Recreation Area was hopping with all sorts of things to do such as bowling and pool. In addition, the library and several colleges gave tours to give dads an idea of where most college students spend their time. All in all Dad’s Weekend is a time for bonding, sharing, and having fun. Dad’s Weekend gives dads a chance to see what goes on and see the campus. Also it's a time for dads to check up on us, said Ramos.

Photo By Brody JicStson 14 • student life Beavers Although one team had to lose, fans of Oregon State and University of Oregon had high hopes for the post season bowl games. Leading into the 103 Civil War Oregon State and University of Oregon both held records of 7-3 and neither had plans of settling quietly into defeat. A full stadium of 46,115 football fans from around the state and region filled Autzen Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 20 to watch the Ducks and Beavers face off for the biggest battle between the schools since the early 1960's, when both teams were vying for similar bowl positions. Festivities surrounding the Civil War game included everything from friendly rivalries to un-sportsmanlike taunting and slander from opposing teams. Tom Huggins, OSU Alumni class of 1972 and founder of Eola Hills Winery, charted six school buses full of both Beaver and Duck fans to and from the game providing food, drinks and a fun atmosphere. Janice Lync, coordinator for Oregon State Alumni events through the University's Alumni center, orga- nized a tailgater in Eugene that catered to over 300 Beaver fans. According to Lawson Knight, Assistant Director of Development for the Oregon State Athletics Department, Eugene spectators and fans were not exactly welcoming. Knight said, ’a standing room only crowd two rows deep of Ducks encircled the 200 allotted Beaver seats, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. While most Beaver fans were forced to watch the game from their home televisions, several pre-game events were arranged for OSU students by the Memorial Union Program Council. Civil War t-shirts and buttons were sold and an all day Pep-rally was held in the Memorial Union where green duck shaped cookies were served and tapes of last year's OSU victory over Oregon played in the background. Even with a loss to the Ducks of 25-14, Beaver fans left with high hopes for the following year back in Beaver territory.

Photo By Catty Campbell 16 • student life Like many other schools across the country, Oregon State students were expressing themselves in different ways all the time. Body modifications have become more and more popular. It was not uncommon to walk around campus and see a large variety of tattoos and body piercings. Oregon was one of the safest places to get pierced because it was among the states that required piercers to be licensed and registered. The program, run by the state health division since 1995, required that facilities met prescribed safety, sanitation and sterilization standards; established disclosure and risk factors that must be posted for the public,- and provided for a consumer complaint process. In a clinical report about body piercing, Myrna Armstrong, a registered nurse at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, Texas, wrote that Gauntlet International, a California-based chain of piercing salons, has estimated each of their 30 piercers performed as many as 1,500 piercings a year. A little closer to home students were getting a variety of locations pierced, both visible and hidden whether it be at businesses right off campus or throughout the area. More permanent than piercings, and often times more noticeable were tattoos. Tattoos have always been a popular part of our society, but in the last few years they have become a much more prevalent commodity. Even though they were more serious, tattoos were more popular than piercings on campus. However, if you wanted to have a name tattooed, you may be surprised to know that most studios will only put names in green or red because they were the easiest colors to remove.

Oregon State's last Homecoming football game of the century brought the team one step closer to the first winning season in 29 years. The football game was an amazing finish to a full week of homecoming events. From the annual pie-eating contest to Benny Beaver's birthday party. Students and alumni had a variety of activities to keep them busy. Friday night at Gill Coliseum the Homecoming concert was held featuring the up-and coming swing band, Pepe and the Bottle Blondes. Students danced the night away, barely stopping to breathe. The year's homecoming winners, Sigma Chi, with the help of Alpha Phi, showed their Beaver spirit with lawn displays and Yelling like Hell on Saturday morning. The OSU Alumni Association held an Alumni Fellows reception to honor prominent OSU graduates and gave them an opportunity to share their experiences with current students. Before the football game the Alumni Association also put on a barbecue tailgater, allowing hundreds of former OSU students to reminisce and talk about old times . Tours of some of OSU’s newest features were also given, including the Valley Library. These tours allowed alumni to see how their generous donations were being utilized. The traditional Beaver Walk prior to the game paraded the team down 26th Street to Parker Plaza with a warm welcome from supporting Beaver Believers of all ages. OSU's defense dominated the game, with seven quarterback sacks and two interceptions. Antonio Battle had a 50-yard touchdown run, and the Beavers only had one turnover in their first 1999 Pac-10 win. The 55-7 loss given to the Bruins was the worst lose they have seen since 1930. story By Came Mecklem d triumph at homecoming • 19 Beaver fan’s came out from all walks of life to support their team.

Photo By Liu Petersen 22 • student life The Big Brother Big Sister program was rejuvenated and looking for enthusiastic students to join in. The Big Brother Big Sister program had been inactive for over a year because it lacked a director. Throughout the rebuilding year it was under the direction of Christian Greene. Greene took on the task of re-vitalizing the program with enthusiasm and vigor. The program, formed in 1965, was the one only one in the Coivallis area. It was responsible for 91 matches of bigs' and littles. The greatest area of need, according to Greene, was for more male volunteers. Greene believed that the reason for the shortage of male role models was the potential for a male to labeled as a pedophile if they were seen spending time with children that were non-related. Green said that this should not interfere with the decision to volunteer because there was nothing wrong with a male spending time with a child in a big brother role. Greene, who herself had been volunteer- ing for three years, was asking volunteers to commit to at last nine months. This would allow for good bonding between the little and the big and stability for the child. When asked about the kinds of children involved in the program, Greene was adamant that they come from all types of family situations and backgrounds. The common perception is the kids come from broken or dysfunctional families, says Greene. The reasons for kids becoming involved in the program was as varied as their backgrounds. Greene liked to become acquainted with each volunteer to get a better feel for helping match a child with a volunteer. Greene showed the volunteer several potential matches and allowed the volunteer to choose a child from a picture and biographical information. It is ultimately the big's choice in whom they choose for their little, stated Greene.

Contributed Logo The donation by the Roscr family led to great improvements to the football field, as well as a new name.

Photo By Brody Jackson A donation by the Roser family, long time OSU athletic supporters, led to the renaming of Parker Stadium to Reser Stadium. Photo By Janette le cht 24 • student life 5 Northwest Dodge Dealers regon State University went through many exciting changes this past year. From the renaming of Parker Stadium, to the hiring of a new football coach. Each new step helped the OSU Athletic Department in a positive way. The new Reser Stadium came through a sponsorship from the Reser family. The Reser family owns the corporation, Reser Fine Foods in Portland. As long time supporters of OSU, specifically the HOEC and athletic departments, they agreed to fund this part of the program. It became apparent, that while funds from OSU were not always available, college sports were forced to generate new revenues through sponsorships. Those sponsorship were generated through large corporations. Mitch Barnhart, OSU athletic director said, With those corporate dollars, in return for that revenue, the Reser family gets recognition in places of programs.' Depending on the amount of money donated, that sponsorship can include the renaming of a stadium, or help with the fix- ing up of Parker stadium. The new football coach, Dennis Erickson, also helped OSU Financially and competitively. With a couple of championships behind him, Erickson provided credibility to the football program, the coaching staff, and the players that he has been working with. By bringing existing credibility, Erickson helped the fans start to believe that they could compete. With a great recruiting class and a competitive returning class, Erickson had a very well prepared team on his hands. The Beavers had their first winning record in 30 years, and it was the first time they had gone to a bowl game in 35 years. An exciting change, involving the Northwest Dodge dealers buying rights to the Civil War game, created a partnership between rivals, OSU and University of Oregon. This four-year partnership was a multi-million dollar package, given that each university would receive several thousand dollars each year in revenue.

Approximately 600 siblings came to Oregon State University February 18 and 19 to spend quality time with their siblings. There was such a big turnout for the 1998-99 Siblings Day that the Memorial Union Program Council decided to make this a full weekend just like Mom’s and Dad's Weekends. Kat Stinson, the Memorial Union president said, 'I have always wanted Oregon State to have a Siblings Weekend ever since my older sister went to school here. Last year her wish came true. She told Kevin Lyons, then the president, her idea and together they formed a committee to put together Siblings Day which turned out to be a success. Oregon State was the only university in Oregon to have a Siblings’s Day. Most university’s only have parents days. The planning of this year's Siblings Weekend took just over seven months to complete with the hard work of thirteen committee members. Their budget for putting the weekend together was around $4,500 and they were able to make around $2,500 from ticket sales held around campus. Committee member Mindy Barker said, Registration numbers have gone up substantially from last year and our goal is to make Siblings Weekend and annual event. Approximately 400 siblings came to siblings day last year. Those that helped the MUPC with the event included the Culture Centers, the Athletic Program, Administration and other parts of the OSU community. Sophomore Angie Smith said, It was great opportunity to have my sister come down and see what my life at college is like. Program advisor of the Memorial Union Council, Machelle Kennedy said, I would like to see more interactive events put on by different departments on campus to show the talent and what is done here at OSU by students, and I really liked the involvement of the Cultural Centers in providing activities.

Photo By Janette Le cht 30 • student life Oregon State University students were working hard for their money during the school year. According to Dee Safley, of the student employment office, there were as many as 2,500 students working on campus. This is a great opportunity,” she said, not only for the students who live on or around campus, because they have less traveling to do, but also for the university because it lessens our federal tax burden. Minimum wage for the students started at $6.50 and for undergraduates was not to exceed $10.82 per hour. There were a variety of jobs on campus, I don't know one facility that doesn't offer student employment, stated Safley. Jobs were also offered as a work-study program through the financial aid department. Of the 1,700 students awarded financial aid about 1,000 students accept it, explains Laurie Franklin of financial aid. Work-study was a system that cooperated with the government to help pay stu- dents. If the student worked on campus the government would pay 75 percent of the students wages and the department hiring must make up the other 25 percent. If the job was off campus then the government payed 60 percent and the employer must come up with the other 40 percent. OSU payed out approximately $75,000 a year for the work study program. When asked how it related to other schools Franklin explained, I know that the University of Oregon gets more money from the federal government because they have a higher enrollment than we do here at OSU. Sophomore Melissa Hagel began working on campus after quitting her off campus job. It is so much easier working on campus, then off. You meet more people and it is hardly a commute, also they are much more flexible with school schedules.

Photo By Casey Campbell 32 • student life Drink ving. Drinking and Driving has always been a hot topic on college campuses and at Oregon State it really started to make an impact. With the loss of numerous OSU students throughout the year the subject hit especially close to home. Oregon State, along with other local and state organizations and agencies continued to try to open the eyes of the student body to dangers and alternatives after a night out. When students returned to campus to begin the 1999-2000 school year, they were greeted with a multi-media program called Beer, Booze Books. The program was designed to create a culture that supported the silent majority of the community who abstained from drinking or drank at low-risk levels, said David J. Visiko, health educator at OSU Student Health Services. During the year there was also a week dedicated to the prevention of drinking and driving on the OSU campus. The display entitled 'Drugs. Drinking. Driving. Don’t. traveled throughout the community and made appearances to educate the public about how to make smart choices regarding driving and demonstrated the dangers often encountered when an individual's judgement was impaired. As part of this display a vehicle that was wrecked due to a person driving under the influence was placed in the quad for students to observe. Besides this dramatic illustration of DUI consequences, Oregon State Police were present to answer any questions as well as give students a first hand chance to experience the fatal vision goggles. Approximately one million people are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes annually. Alcohol involvement is the single greatest factor in motor vehicle deaths and injuries. Only 4% of all crashes involve the use of alcohol, but 41 % of fatal crashes do.

Performances by the groups included selections from such musicals as “Annie Get Your Gun,' Grease,’ Aladdin,” Oliver, “110 in the Shade, and The Best Lil’ Whorehouse in Texas. These groups were comprised of between thirty and fifty members each and worked for four months with the help of a song leader and choreographer to create their six-minute routine. Most groups were practicing every day as Sing got closer. After all of the performances were complete it was Sigma Pi and Alpha Chi Omega with first place, Delta Upsilon and Delta Gamma in second place and Alpha Gamma Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon in third place. The award of best costume went to Lambda Chi Alpha and Kappa Kappa Gamma who performed Guys and Dolls,-' the spirit award went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Kappa with Grease, and best choreography went to Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Chi with their performance of Hello Dolly. The 2000 Sing was attended by approximately 4,200 people including family, friends and community members. Beyond the Greek routines there were also performances by the OSU Elite Dance Team and the Sing Consultants. Throughout the evening there were numerous special awards given to those at Oregon State, including the Outstanding Professor Award which was presented to Audrey Bach, a professor in the College of Business and an ASOSU legal consultant. This Mom's Weekend tradition was once limited to only the fraternities and was a homecoming event. Sing was originally a fraternal event started in 1936 as part of the university homecoming festivities but during World War II the sororities took over the tradition and it came to be associated with the annual Mom's Weekend. ifc sing 0 35 The Oregon State Outdoor Recreation Center provides outdoor equipment to students at a minimal cost.

Sales and rentals were up in local shops and the potential that Oregon presented to the community in the way of outdoors environment was just outstanding. “It's just great, the amount of people coming out and getting interested,” said Emily Babcock, a sophomore at OSU. Babcock worked at the Department of Recreational Sports and really loved the exposure she was able to obtain to the outdoors. 'People are right in the transition between seasons so we're seeing a little of each in the rental department, Babcock said, pointing to an empty rack where many snow shoes used to hang. We've been cleaned out of cross-country skis as well, she said. The Department of Recreational Sports ran an Outdoor Program that in recent years has become rather popular in the local area. The Outdoor Program provided recreational opportunities in outdoor settings around and throughout the state of Oregon. The primary focus was to introduce new skills and activities to students, the OSU community as well as those interested within the city of Corvallis. All the activities provide recreation, education, and fun, said Sheila Evans, director of Recreational Sports on campus. Oregon State University also provided an Indoor Climbing Center. Located just under the west end of Reser Stadium, the Indoor Climbing Center was free for OSU students with a small fee for others. This, according to Evans, was just a precursor to the real challenge that the beautiful Oregon nature provided in its rocky cliff faces and looming mountain ranges. 'It's amazing how many people, lots of them from outside the OSU community, come in to get just climbing cards let alone a card for access to Dixon, said Steve Stevens, former employee of the I.D. Center in the Memorial Union. Story By Jothan Lawrence osu after hours 37 The annual Mom's Weekend fashion show was once again a popular event.

Corvallis hotels were booked months in advance and restaurants were also hit hard. American Dream Pizza saw an increase in business of roughly 30 percent on Saturday. Manager Mark O'Brien estimated that it sold around 250 pizzas that night. He said the weekend proved to be exciting, fun and hectic. The moms are fun to help, he said. Campus life became a little more lively for the weekend also. The 2000 fashion show, Urban Underground,” was a popular stop, with 4 showings. The Fashion show began in 1923 when Mom's Weekend was called Mom's Day.” In the last few years evening shows became necessary because all of the day time shows were selling out. For Urban Underground there were 47 models -- male and female -- including eight mothers. Models tried out for positions in the show and attend workshops, continually rehearsing for two a months prior to the dress rehearsal. The apparel was provided by Corvallis, Eugene and Portland area vendors. Another popular event was the renaissance fair. Many local vendors gathered in the MU quad for this event. The real appeal of the fair was that it was always a fun gathering for people of all ages to experience. Other fun things to do in the Quad as part of Mom's Weekend festivities included free carnations for moms, a clown, Cool Shoes' dance entertainment, carriage rides and a Mom-and-l look-Alike contest. I think it will be something everyone should see. There are a lot of wonderful artists in the area that will be showcasing their talents, said Kathy Jederlinich, office coordinator at MUPC Friday evening featured comedian George Wallace, who has been named Best Male Stand up Comedian by the American Comedy Awards.

In 1916 the Beaver name finally stuck when the yearbook which was renamed The Beaver. But when did Benny come into play? First there were the attempts at having a live beaver. However, Bevo had very little success. The first ever reference to Benny Beaver was a large wood and chicken wire beaver covered with plaster of paris. This Benny was mounted on a frame with wheels and made an appearance at all of the football games. In 1946, Benny was smashed to death. On September 18,1952, the rally squad introduced the new Benny Beaver in an effort to increase school spirit. In a Beaver headdress a student, later revealed to be Ken Austin, attended all of the athletic events. The costume has changed over the last 50 years, and has emerged to be a full beaver outfit. After more than 45 years, Benny Beaver changed once again. In 1997, the football team began using an updated version of the beaver logo but it wasn’t used by all of the sports programs. At this time the traditional logo, the smiling Benny wearing a hat, wasn’t officially retired but it was decided that a new logo was needed. It was in 1998 that the new more aggressive Benny appeared. This new tough guy Benny was chosen out of more than ten beaver logos presented. The OSU Athletic Marketing department felt that OSU needed a more aggressive, sport looking logo. The logo chosen was the least aggressive looking out of the group. So what does it take to be Benny Beaver? Lots of energy, School spirit, strength and time. A former prospective Benny said, It is very hard to see and it gets very hot. you have to be willing to be Benny. It takes up a lot of time, but it can be worth it to see the crowd in a frenzy. Story by Anne Perrin benny beaver • 41 I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are just details. - Albert Einstein I like to think of Katy as a shooting star, her presence touched the lives of many and her brightness could never be explained in words. She was a ball of life: quick to smile and quick to laugh. Katy was a true friend-and like a shooting star she will never be forgotten. - Lynn Simmons Katy was very creative and never missed a chance to wish someone well with a flash of markers, glitter, and poster paper. - Kyle Winkler I always remembered Katy as always having a huge smile on her face, and being there to help me out on any problems I would have. This one time I was visiting every one at Hawley Hall and Katy asked me if I had finished my page of notes for my Econ test the next morning. I had totally forgotten about the test, and started stressing out about it. well Katy saw my dilemma and came to my rescue with a copy of her notes. Katy was not only my study partner, she was a great friend, and I will never forget her as long as I live. - Matt Flock I have been sitting at this computer for a while now trying to think of something special to write about Katy. There arc too many things that come to mind to write on this little sheet of paper. I remember moving into the dorms on the very first day and walking past her room. She had it all set up and things just looked so cozy. I remember specifically thinking. That girl looks like she is nice. I did not get to know her until a little while later, but I was right. Katy was a joy. she was probably the nicest, most positive person I knew. Every morning I passed her room on the way to the shower, she would smile at me and give me a big morning sunshine! It is the little things about Katy that I will always treasure. She taught me a lot. She taught me about scrapbooking. Germany, sheep, kindness, life and death. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Katy. I miss you. -Heidi Semct Katy was always someone you could talk to. Her good attitude and sense of humor would always cheer you up when you were down. She was one of my best friends, and because of her my first year here at OSU will be unforgettable. • Dan Allen 42 • student life ne Saturday we planned on staying in the dorm. Katy bousht a box of Oreo's and a carton of milk. With an empty box of milk and only 2 cookies left, Katy and I were in need of exercise. So we went dancins. Katy rarely danced before, but the smile on her face told you she was loving it. - Lynn Simmons Katy Zollner, where to start? No matter what mood I was in, just seeing her constant smile would cheer me up. Katy brought life to Hawley Hall. If she was around, you would know. Katy is one of those people that will always stand out in my life. There is a special place in everyone's heart for Katy. She is missed deeply. - Bob Schaffer I hesitate to write about Katy only for fear of not doing credit to who she was. Katy Zollner was my friend. Katy was everybody's friend. Katy always had smile on her face. Katy always knew how to bring a smile to your face. That is what I admired most about her. Katy had a way of approaching everything and everyone, including herself,with a lighthearted seriousness. Most of all, she always made time for her friends, and as I said before, everybody was Katy’s friend. It is a tragedy everyone couldn’t be blessed, as I know I was, to know Katy, don't worry, you were still her friend. I know I will miss her, everyone will miss her. - Justin Guy Katy will always hold a place in my heart. I met Katy my sophomore year of high school in Bend right after she moved from Roseburg. We sat together in German class and remembering back, her sense of humor about the Frau was when I first realized just how special Katy was. I'll never forget seeing Katy for the first time after she returned from Germany. Her hair was shorter and blonder and she seemed like she could take on the world. Katy was the kind of friend most people only pray for with her optimism about the future and her gentle heart. My heart aches when I hear her name or think of her. Her positive spirit and adventurous soul is truly a loss to us all. I miss her. I will never forget what she had to share with me as I know all of her friends will never forget what she shared with them. - Allison Jordan I feel quite unqualified to capture Katy's life in a paragraph, 1000 pages would not do justice in describing her life and how many people she touched. I was so happy that she was moving in with me and we had great plans for our room and we made it very cozy. One of the best things I learned from Katy was how to laugh, even if things were not looking good. She could be having the worst day, and still be able to laugh and smile. I miss Katy very much, but I am confident that she is smiling up in Heaven. - Jen Wade Katy Zollner was a freshman at OSU in Agricultural Sciences and was unfortunately killed by a drunk driver in January of 2000, she will be greatly missed. in loving memory • 43 Comedian Craig Carmcan was one of the performances found at the 2nd annual Midnight Madness.

Photo By Michael Benda 44 • student life The 1999-2000 season’s basketball halftime acts made Summer Wright’s job quite more notable in the Oregon State community. Wright was the director of the sports marketing department at OSU and her work was catching spectator’s eyes, most notably at the men’s and women's basketball games. 'In the past we’ve had a lot of local dance groups and contests at halftime, and while those may have been entertaining we decided to step it up and bring professional entertainment to the college said Wright. With creative acts ranging from a women balancing bowls on her head, to acrobatic dogs, the response to the new entertainment was nothing but positive. According to Wright, OSU was among one of the few colleges that brought in professional entertainment for halftime. We’ve got a lot of our ideas and information about the acts from the Portland Trail Blazers. Many of these groups performed at Blazer games and were recommended. When they came here, some of the acts said it was their first time performing at a college. The sports marketing department's job was not to bring people to the games, but rather to keep people coming back. Once people get to the games our job is to make them want to come back. People come to watch the game, but we need to do whatever we can to add entertainment, and make it more enjoyable for everyone, said Wright. The Marketing department was primarily responsible for creating marketing plans for all 15 varsity sports. This included ticket sales, advertising, in game promotions and putting on a good show in a family environment.

Photo By Barry Schwartz 46 • student life “i The 131st Graduatins Class at Oregon State University took their walk on Sunday June 11th. For the first time in history, the ceremony was split into two sections to try to alleviate the seating problem of the years past. In the 1999 ceremony, between 900 and 1000 ticket holders were turned away due to lack of seats, said Barbara Balz, commencement committee chair. The splitting of the ceremony, with graduate students in the morning and undergraduates in the afternoon, did not mean more tickets, but did mean that people would not have to be turned away. The split also helped to shorten the ceremony, which has lasted in excess of three hours in the past. The Graduate student ceremony was a little over one hour long with the Undergraduate ceremony lasting just over two hours. The split of ceremonies accommodated all students and family and friends with shorter ceremonies and greater opportunity for seating. Balz says that this solution was only temporary and that a combined ceremony was being planned for 2001 to be held in Reser Stadium. We're particularly excited about moving to Reser because that does give us a lot more seating possibility. We want to be at that point where anyone who wants to see a student graduate can come see that. Close to 2,100 students attend the graduation ceremony, this was only about 55% of the students who graduated. Oregon State University's first commencement ceremony took place in 1870 with three bachelors graduates, one of whom was Alice Biddle, whose statue now stands in the MU quad. The first Master of Arts was given in 1876. Graduates numbered about 10 in the late 1880's when commencement was moved from the City Hall to the College Chapel. This was when the College moved from 5th Street to the new campus. Story By Lindsey Westberg commencement • 47 President Paul Risscr and Kinsey B.

For one, they were the largest college in the University. For another, they had 15 academic departments in their college (five were shared with the College of Science and one with the College of Engineering). Another difference was that there were no degree requirements for the college as a whole,-but instead, the requirements were specific within each of the different departments. The College of Agriculture in OSU has been one of the highest award winning colleges in the nation. It was firth nationally for graduate degrees and fifteenth nationally for the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded. The College of Agriculture Sciences performed four vital services-mstruction, research, extension, and international agriculture-which were closely tied to the human and natural resources of the state of Oregon and which supported the economic development of the state and of the Pacific Northwest. In the year 1998-99 the College of Agricultural Sciences had 65 students who graduated with a masters degree, 261 students who graduated with a bachelor degree and 31 students who graduated with a doctoral degree. The success rate of students who got jobs after graduating from the College of Agricultural Sciences was about 100 percent according to Dean Du t son. Students in the College of Agricultural Sciences had one of the strongest student populations on campus with a unique and professional executive council. Due to the many opportunities supplied by the college, students could become actively involved in one of the twenty-two clubs and student associations available. The Agriculture Executive Council served as a peer governing board to these clubs and was responsible for the coordination of campus involvement. The Agricultural Executive Council not only offered chances for students to develop leadership skills and team working skills, but it also brought students together for memorable experiences and friendships. Becoming an involved student was vital to one's success in his or her pursuit of an education. Last year the College of Agricultural Sciences had a couple of major achievements. One major achievement was that John Buckhouse, a professor in the Oregon State University Department of Rangeland Resources and a nationally known range management specialist, received the Trail Boss Award.

Another major recent achievement in the College of Agricultural Sciences, was the grand opening of a new building in Portland, known as the Food Innovation Center. This center was dedicated to the development and marketing of new food products and to promoting economic development and diversification through five different ways: (1) Creation of higher value food products (2) development of new products (3) alteration of existing products to fit new markets (4) identification of new markets, primarily along the Pacific Rim and (5) the creation of appropriate packaging for new markets. Last year the College of Agricultural Sciences received additional funds from the legislature, from Agriculture experiments, from the OSU Extension Service, and some for the forest research program.

The College’s programs, all accredited by the AACSB-The International Association for Management Education, were designed to equip its students with knowledge, values, and intellectual skills to, among other things, understand the context in which business was conducted and to make sound business decisions. We expected our graduates to succeed in their chosen careers. The College encouraged both faculty and students to establish and maintain significant interaction with businesses and the business community. The College was well-positioned and committed to ensuring that all graduates were proficient in information technology management. Also, each student must have completed an outside minor to complement the course of study and or career goals. Graduates of the College were in high demand by companies of all sizes, ranging from local to international coverage. Over 80 recruiters visited the College each year. During the 1999-2000 year there were almost 1,800 business majors, 250 business minors, and hundreds of other OSU students who completed business courses. The College maintained a targeted MBA program that linked management education with OSU’s well-known academic strengths. The student body was diverse, bringing broader contributions to the classroom and underscoring the importance of the global dimensions of business. We expected our faculty to convey a strong sense of professional obligation to each student who took classes in the College. The faculty, through their core responsibilities of teaching, scholarship, and service, provided a high quality and timely education reflecting current business theory and practice. The faculty served the interests of the state and region through professional service. The Austin Family Business Program, nationally known for its scope and excellence, contributed to hundreds of family businesses through seminars and training. Working with a larger number of business partners, the College was poised to launch an internship program to provide students with first-hand business experience. The College operated an on-campus product testing site for companies like Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, and Intel to expose students to technological innovation and applications.

Engineering's eight departments that offered research and instructional programs was equal to 20 percent of the student body. The College enrolled 2,421 undergraduates and 411 graduate students. Our faculty, which included professional and academics, totaled 183. We were proud of the accomplishments of our students, alumni, faculty and staff and we had a long tradition of engineering excellence. Our undergraduate enrollment continued to grow as we attracted many of the brightest Oregonians to our program. The 1999-2000 school year’s freshman class grew by 13%. Our students-many of whom participated in our successful Multiple Engineering Cooperative Program (MECOP) -entered their professions with excellent preparation. 100% of our June 1998 graduates who sought employment landed jobs to jump start their careers. Once again we placed well in many of our student competitions including construction, automotive engineers and waste management. Our graduate studies and research programs contin- ued to bring national recognition to individual faculty and departments, and to the College in general. Our collaboration with other institutions resulted in combining our unique strengths to create services that had a larger value than the sum of their parts. Our graduates continued to make highly valued contributions to business, governmental, and academic organizations throughout the world and our students and faculty were among the best in the country. Our seniors continued to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam in the upper 90% range. Engineering degrees were awarded by the following departments and programs. •Bioengineering •Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering •Chemical Engineering •Electrical and Computer Engineering •Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering •Mechanical Engineering •Nuclear Engineering •Physics •Research Centers: •Center For Advanced Materials Research •Extension Energy Program •O.H.

When forestry students returned in the fall they no longer had to travel all over campus to see an adviser, visit the dean, or pop in for an instructors office hours. Richardson Hall, the new headquarters for the College of Forestry on campus brought all four forestry departments together in one building for the first time. Located next to Peavy Hall on the east end of campus Richardson Hall was a success with the faculty. We are really enjoying our new facilities in Richardson Hall, for the first time all the departments in Forestry are together. Pam Henderson, Head Adviser, said. Perhaps the biggest news of the year was the announcement that Dean George Brown was retiring. Brown spent 33 years at OSU, 10 years as Dean. The College of Forestry welcomed Hal Salwasser as the new Dean. Salwasser officially began his new role in July. Forestry students had plenty to be excited about as well. During the year the college expanded its interna- tional studies programs, by adding several new areas of the world for students to further there educational experience. New on the list were South Africa, Eastern Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Students participating in forestry clubs helped cohost the annual Scx:iety of American Foresters National Convention held in Portland. The students were honored by the Society of American Foresters for their support and efforts in hosting the event. Forestry students were pleased as usual about the education they received at OSU. “I love being outdoors, fishing hunting, camping, anything. Being a fisheries and wildlife science major, I have a great opportunity to leam more about my interests, more about my environment, Steven Miketin Junior in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences said. The great thing abut the College of Forestry is the fact that your classroom is outdoors, there is nothing better than having the outdoors as your classroom, Cliff Lascink, Senior in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences said.

'Society is constantly changing,' head advisor Kim McAlexander said. 'There were human needs that this college had to meet, and required change.' For the Home Economics and Education programs, change was rapid. Working with families, health care services, and assisting people with life decisions required the proper education and understanding. These changes were seen through the text and content of the department's new brochure. Each change brought new meaning to the programs, and a challenge for the students involved. There were seven majors in the college, which included Apparel Design, Housing Studies, Interior Design, Merchandising Management, Human Development and Family Science, Nutrition and Food Management, and Technology Education. The Home Economic department changed one of their majors from Interior Merchandising back to Interior Design. This change occurred to fit the needs of the students so they were provided with a well-rounded understanding for this major. Human Development and Family Sciences added two new options, Early Childhood Development and Gerontology, giving this major six different options to choose. Early Childhood Development was added for students who wanted to focus mainly with young children in a preschool or as young as daycare age. Gerontology was added to provide an interdisciplinary approach to the study of aging, and prepare students for careers in community services, health science, nutrition, health and physical education, housing, pharmacy, counseling, and health care administration. Kim McAlexander believed these changes would help the students understand human needs, and in turn direct them down a promising career path. 1 see these changes as being positive in the classrooms and department. This will definitely benefit students in the years to come,” said senior Merchandising Management's Julia Keirle. The College of Home Economics and Education improved tremendously to meet the human needs of the individual, family, and the community. As long as society continued so would the College of Home Economics and Education. c. . „ .

The College consisted of two departments: the department of Exercise and Sport Science and the department of Public Health. Both of these departments were actively involved in teaching and research. The Exercise and Sport Science department has garnered national and international attention for its research and scholarly activity. Much of the research within recent years involved the study of biomechanics, muscle physiology, bone density, and even the application of biological models to robotic movement. Popular undergraduate programs in EXSS included athletic training and fitness program management. Graduate programs offered the M S. and Ph.D. degree in biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor control and learning, sport pedagogy, sport exercise and psychology, and sports medicine. There was also a one-year Master of Arts in Teaching program in physical education. The department of Public Health offered B.S., M.S., M.P.H., Ph.D. and M.A.T. degrees in several areas of Public Health. Major areas of interest included health promotion and education, health care administration, epidemiology and environmental health and safety. The College of Health and Human Performance also conducted all PAC (Physical Activity) courses at Oregon State University. Recent years saw the program grow to include ballroom and swing dancing, rock climbing, yoga and tai chi courses. Intramural sports were also a large part of the College's activities. Each year several thousand students participated in some form of organized sport activity through intramurals. The College's labs were housed in one of the most beautiful buildings on the OSU campus, the Women’s Building. Built in the early part of the century, the WB is a neo-classical treasure. On the basement level were the Biomechanics Lab, the Biological Controls Lab, and the Muscle Physiology Lab. The building also housed several dance studios, a full gymnasium and a swimming pool. The College also had offices and facilities in Langton and Waldo Halls. Recent additions to the College's activities included a Special Motor and Fitness Clinic sponsored by the United Way, in which students participated in design- Students in one of the step aerobics classes learn the various movements of a new workout Beyond step aerobics the College of HHP offered aqua aerobics, deep water aerobics, and dance aerobics.

Liberal Arts graduates had unlimited opportunities for careers when they graduated and had the creativity and flexibility to tackle many different vocations. Liberal Arts graduates had a multitude of career opportunities including but not limited to: •Artists •Lawyers •Teachers •Business Executives •Politicians •Authors, and the list goes on. A Liberal Arts education was not just about the vocation that you can pursue upon graduation. It was the celebration of life, the analysis of our history, our cultures, our society. Liberal Arts was a study of the human condition: our soul, essence and being. A Liberal Arts education could give you an understanding of where we've been and where we are transferable to within the working world. Liberal Arts students were able to: •Analyze and think critically •See the 'Big Picture' •Learn Collaboratively •Think Outside of the Box •Leam and Relearn The College of Liberal Arts made outstanding contributions to the campus community every year with our tremendous theatre and music departments. The art department continued to draw very talented students to OSU who have also enriched the campus community. The Philosophy department with their Ideas Matter lecture series was well-received with noted speakers such as Arch-Bishop Desmond Tutu. College of Liberal Arts faculty created learning opportunities that challenged students and pushed them to think. Faculty Student relationships were important in the College of Liberal Arts as demonstrated by the Discovery Group program that helped First-Year students interact with their professors outside of the classroom. For reasons like this and many others, the OSU College of Liberal Arts was very much like a small liberal arts college within a large university. The unofficial motto of the college was, 'I think, therefore I am... in the College of Liberal Arts. So if you considered yourself a thinker, the College of Liberal Arts could be for you.

An exceptional faculty and the most sophisticated computing center in academic oceanic research, together, drove the high powered activity of the college. In addition to ocean cruises, data was collected by marine and atmospheric scientists via satellite and other tools of modem technology. COAS' faculty and student researchers came from all over the world and could be found pursuing research all over the world--at Crater Lake, off the coast of Oregon, in the Arctic and Antarctic, in Siberia, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. This occurred both on land and on the sea studying hydrothermal vents, seismic activity, whale migration, the atmosphere of Mars, turbulence in the oceans, coastal processes, pollutant organic matter, application of scientific research to areas where population, marine environments, and public policy intersect. A hallmark of the college was its interdisciplinary, collaborative atmosphere. COAS was the home of the Oregon Climate Service, the Center for the Analysis of Environmental Change, and the Native Americans in Marine Science program. The college has developed an interactive public exhibit for OMSI, and served as the central office for the Ridge Inter-Disciplinary Global Experiments (RIDGE) of the National Science Foundation. The Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport was affiliated with COAS, and the college's research vessel, the R V Wecoma, was berthed in Newport between research cruises. The college exclusively offered Master's and Ph D. degrees in all of its programs except for Marine Resource Management which did not offer the doctorate. Although there was no undergraduate degrees available through the college, there was an undergraduate oceanography minor for students to combine with academic majors based in other colleges across the Oregon State University campus.

Hospital, institutional, pharmaceutical, and academic Pharmacy, were just a few of the career options. Community pharmacy, which accounted for 60 percent (120,000) of pharmacists, interacted with the community and the doctors extensively, so that they stayed up to date with new information and the proper use of drugs. Hospital and institutional pharmacy included about 38,000 pharmacists, working in hospitals or nursing homes. They had a more direct interaction with patient care. 'I would like to work for a retail pharmacy for a short amount of time, then go into teaching at the university level and maybe some research,” first year Pharm. D. student, Brian Osborne said. When thinking about going into the College of Pharmacy students should have also thought about some of the classes they were going to be taking. Medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, pharmacy practice and law, and therapeutics were just a few. Some of the classes in the three year pre-pharmacy program were; organic chemistry, biology, calculus, microbiology, physics, and human physiology, that was not including the baccalaureate core classes. Being a part of Pharmacy includes a lot of stress and a lot of hard work, you need to be outgoing, and well rounded to be a good pharmacist, said first year Pharm. D. student Kim Williams. Pharmacists were in a position of trust, and an essential part of the nation's health care system. They needed to be uniquely educated, and be willing to face new challenges, expanding responsibilities, and be in a field of ever-growing opportunities. OSU offered many different advanced degrees in this field. Master’s and doctorate in pharmacology, pharmaceutics, biopharmaceuticals, and many more were offered. After four years in OSU's professional pharmacy program, graduates would receive a Doctor of Pharmacy degree in Pharmacy (Pharm. D.). This term we have 70 students in the first year professional program, 100 in the second year, and 90 graduating, Dean of Pharmacy, Keith Parrott said. (Out of 300 applicants] we interview about 75-80 people for the professional school per year, and not all are accepted. The average GPA to get in was a 3.2 to a 3.3, it was not required to have a high GPA to get in, but it was Learning how to properly use the stethoscope is just one of the facets of the field that Pharmacy students experience.

I was a chemistry major at another school, and looked into the school of pharmacy here at OSU and thought that it would be a good idea to apply, andYl got in, said Williams. 'First I got my degree in Biology, went to medical school, then started teaching science to middle and high school kids. After a while I decided that I wanted to do more with my life, did some research, looked at a few different fields and found OSU's College of Pharmacy, said Osbourne. At age 37 Osbourne was not the oldest in any of his classes, the age go from 20-late 40's, ...they all have a well rounded personality, and a good science background, said Osbourne. Thr College of Pharmacy looked forward to the future with the addition of a new Pharmaceutical Care Learning Center. This center would brinf OSU's College of Pharmacy into the 21 's century, with new lab settings. It would consist of a patient care pharmacy, a pharmacy information Resource Center, and a sterile products extemporaneous compounding area. This renovation would provide donornaming opportunities for both facilities and equipment. OSU would be taking the former prescriptions lab and the former library and using to make the PCLC. It was dedicated on October 7,1999. The College of Pharmacy first started in 1898 at Oregon Agricultural College with a four-year program. Over the years pharmacy has grown considerably, beginning with the 1983-1984 school year it became the College of Pharmacy. As of April, 1999 the college had 27 faculty members, 9 staff members, and approximately 280 students in the professional program.

Dean Frederick H. Home announced his retirement as Dean of the College of Science at Oregon State University; he had been Dean since 1986, 13 years. Dean Home began teaching chemistry after the transition was completed. The interim dean of the College of Science, Sherman H. Bloomer, took over for Dean Home in January. Professor Bloomer was a professor and chair of Department of Geosciences, here at OSU. At the beginning of the 1999-2000 school year the SMILE Program, Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences, was selected to receive the 1999 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. According to the SMILE newsletter, 'OSU SMILE was one of five institutions nationwide to receive this award. The award included $10,000 grant and a commemorative presidential certificate. The SMILE Program was started in 1988 to help educate and mentor youth in science. The program focused on Native American, Hispanic, African American, and economically disadvantage youth. The program started out in four schools in Oregon working with grades four to twelve. As of 1999, the program was in 10 school districts with 600 participating students. The third piece of news in the College of Science was when the David and Lucile Packard Foundation awarded Jane Lubchenco and Bruce Menge, Valley Professors of Marine biology at OSU, with a $17.7 million grant to conduct ecological research. According to OSU News Service, the grant was also awarded to three other universities with leading marine science programs in California. All the universities will participate in PISCO, Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans, over a five-year period. The lead scientist will be Professor Lubchenco. The focus of the research has been to study the interaction of fish, invertebrates, and algae in marine communities along the Oregon and California coast. They have been using sophisticated monitors at 31 sites from the mouth of the Columbia River to near Los Angeles, according to OSU News Service. The college also received around $15 million from Research assistant.

Compared to other American universities, Oregon State University is unusual in that the training of secondary and middle school science and mathematics teachers are entirely in the College of Science. This is a great advantage for teachers in training, because of the science and math faculty’s community involvement. Chairs of physics, biology, chemistry, and math departments are very much connected to teacher training, Dean Home said. Dean Home said, The shortage of physical science and math high school teachers is a national crisis, and that's why the entire College of Science has taken teaching training seriously.

Each year, the college accepts only 36 new students. For the 1999-2000 school year, close to 1,000 people applied for the 36 slots available. Female applicants outnumbered male applicants nearly three to one. Of the 36 slots, 28 were reserved for Oregon residents. Residents from member states of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming) filled out the remaining eight positions available for the entering class. Even though the competition was fierce and many students made personal sacrifices to be the best in order to be among the elite 36; students felt it was all worth it. Shalet Abraham, a 28-year-old graduating senior from Eugene, Ore., said, Tve known since I was seven that I wanted to be a veterinarian. Students know going in they will not get fabulously rich as a veterinarian, it's not like aspiring to be a lawyer or a medical doctor. The prospect of a modest income compared to the amount of work that goes in to becoming a veterinarian did not, however, discourage the students. The dropout rate was almost nonexistent at the College. The freshman Class of 2003 was cloaked with their first lab coats and badges by the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association president, Jerry Boggs, and by the interim dean, Bill McCulloch. This formal ceremony was held Sept. 24,1999, recognizing them officially as students of veterinary medicine. Later in November, the college hired a new dean. Dr. Kelvin Koong. Koong replaced the recently retired dean, Dr. Robert Wilson. Koong previously served as associate dean at the College of Agriculture. His biggest challenge for his first year with the college of Veterinary Medicine was planning and preparing for the college to go to a four-year program residing solely at OSU, complete with its own small animal clinical facilities. Year 2000 College of Veterinary Medicine seniors completed a four-year course of study during the year, but not all their time was spent at the OSU campus. The OSU college participated in a regional veterinary medicine program with Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., and with University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho.

The students study nutrition, physiology, anatomy, and histology. Their second year found them transferring to Pullman to acquire their training and get their small animal clinical experience at WSU. There they learned about virology, pathology, and pharmacology. Students remained in Washington for part of their third year to study diseases of many species (particularly the major domestic species, some exotic species, and poultry). Students also went through their small animal clinical rotations at WSU before returning to OSU to finish up their senior year. After transferring back to Oregon for the remainder of their third year and for their fourth year, they went through their large animal clinical rotations and took classes covering highly specialized areas of animal care and treatment. During the year, the College of Veterinary Medicine researched endophyte toxins of Oregon-grown grass seed (effecting horses, cattle, and sheep), the role of antioxidants in nutrition, and equine protozoal myeloencephalopathy (the most serious disease facing horses in the U.S. at the time). Highlights for the year included the Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy Symposium which marked the beginning of collaboration between the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Health and Human Performance. As a result of this collaboration, the first specialty program of its kind in physical therapy and rehabilitation for animals was made available to veterinary medicine graduate students this year.

Those who completed the requirements of the University Honors Collese received OSU’s most prestisious undergraduate academic recognition: an Honors Baccalaureate Degree in their major, jointly awarded by the Honors College and the college in which their major was located. The University Honors College strove to facilitate an innovative, cooperative learning community. Motivated students and faculty aspired to create unique opportunities in the classroom, in the laboratory, and outside the traditional university setting. The UHC encouraged leadership, creativity, communication, and service. UHC graduates left the university with the insight and ability to explore and realize their visions for a positive future. Many unusual classes were available for UHC students, including a variety of one-credit colloquia and three-credit special courses. For example, students explored Oregon's ecology systems and social arrangements as components of ecosystems.

Through these and other enrichment experiences, students were able to gain insight and were introduced to new perspectives. They interacted closely with faculty and one another, enhancing the sense of UHC community. Co-curricular activities were an important aspect of the UHC experience and such activities reinforced the ethics of leadership that were integral to participative learning. UHC students had the opportunity to engage in various forms of service learning: acting as peer mentors, leading UHC Forums, serving as teaching assistants in various classes, or providing community service through many different projects.

Activist groups claimed that the WTO's insistence on open markets lead to environmental and health concerns, and labor exploitation. Widespread vandalism and violence was the result of the actions of only a few dozen, causing nearly $20 million in damages to local merchants. The deployment of the National Guard, a city-wide curfew, and more than 500 arrests were also a result of the violence. Police and others blamed a small group of anarchists as the source of the vandalism in an otherwise peaceful protest. The anarchists neither denied nor accepted the blame. The Clinton administration called for environmental and worker safeguards to be implemented when negotiating trade agreements, a policy which developing nations hotly protested, as inexpensive labor is their only means of financial sustenance. The talks ended in a turmoil Friday night as no agreement upon an agenda for a new round of trade talks could be reached and protesters celebrated in victory. 'This victory has wildly surpassed all our expectations,' said Jeremy Simer of People for Fair Trade. 'People all over the world recognized the opportunity to focus everyone's energy on stopping one of a handful of international organizations that are chipping away at our democratic institutions.” However, delegates of the 135 member WTO attribute the lack of success of the talks to the squabbling among negotiators, not the protesters mayhem.

Elian Gonzalez was found clinsing to an inner tube off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale after a boat carryins his mother, stepfather, and eleven others sank on its way to the U.S., late November, 1999. Elian, after being treated for sunburn and dehydration was released to relatives in South Florida, as his mother and stepfather had died in the accident. Elian's father, Juan Miguel, demanded the boy be returned to him in Cuba, but many Americans, especially exiled Cubans felt differently. Riots and protests broke out in downtown Miami, as hundreds of demonstrators halted traffic and broke through police barricades. On January 5, 2000 the Immigration and Naturalization Services decided Mr. Gonzalez, as Elian’s closest surviving relative has the right to choose whether or not Elian will return to Cuba, a decision that lead to more protesting. A subpoena was then issued by Indiana Representative Dan Burton to have Elian testify before a house committee, postponing Elian’s return. The hope was that Elian would be granted U.S. citizenship, thus being able to bypass the INS decision, and making it harder for him to return to Cuba, a place many Americans feel is detrimental to Elian's health, happiness, and prosperity. Elian’s relatives in Miami have filed a case for a political asylum hearing, something that is granted to every refugee, but since Elian is still a minor the court can rule that only Elian’s father had the right for the asylum request. Despite visits from Elian's grandmothers and father, and an order from Attorney General Janet Reno stating that Elian should be returned to his father, Elian remained in the United States through the month of May. During May three federal judges debated whether the six year old wais too young to apply for political asylum and if being from the Communist country of Cuba compromised his father's parental rights and abilities. If the three judge panel ruled against the Miami relatives, there was little likelihood that the Supreme Court would hear their appeals, resulting in Elian being returned to Cuba with his father.

Contributed Photo 122 • news In the court case of the year, Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson declared Microsoft guilty on several counts of violating antitrust laws and using the monopoly power of its Windows operating system to thwart competition and 'violently crush competitors during the week of Jan. 15, 2000. The two-year long trial ended with discussion over proposed break-up plans. Multiple plans including two and three-way splits of the software giant were advised and rejected for many weeks after the ruling, with the two-way plan finally decided upon on June 7,2000. These two portions would be an operating system company and an applications company. The break-up plan was designed to take away the ability to leverage Windows into other markets, which is what the case was all about, said Glenn Manishin, an antitrust attorney with Patton-Boggs. A major issue with drawing up the plans was how to figure out how to rein in the Windows monopoly without turning the courts into a de facto software regulator, said a Justice Dept, official. A monopoly ruling had not occurred since the mid-1980's when AT T was broken up. AP PTxxo The South Carolina Legislature approved removing the Confederate battle flag from the Capitol dome May 18,2000, ending months of bitter debate by lawmakers in the only state that flies the banner above its Statehouse. The agreement came after months of debate, marches, and protests that attracted thousands of flag supporters and opponents to the Statehouse. The deal moved the banner to a 30-foot flagpole at the monument to Confederate War dead located near the Statehouse. The NAACP said it would continue to lead its boycott of the state under the plan, saying the site in front of the Statehouse is still too prominent. The flag has flown above the Statehouse since 1962, when it was raised to commemorate the Civil War centennial. Critics said it was also raised in defiance of the civil rights movement. While supporters said the flag was an important part of the state's heritage; opponents believed that it represented slavery and racism. AP Ptxxcvtoj Kraiky spring • 123 In the tiny capital city of the nation's most rural state, Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont signed into law April 26, 2000, the most sweeping same-sex partnership law in the United States. The law allows for civil unions for same-sex couples. Though legally not the same as marriage, civil unions provide virtually all the legal rights and benefits of a traditional marriage, such as joint property rights, shared health care benefits and hospital visitation and inheritance rights. Gay and lesbian couples can obtain a license from their town clerks and then have their unions certified by a judge or member of the clergy. Couples would have to accept the burdens of a union as well. To break up a civil union, couples would have to go through family court to obtain dissolutions, just as when married couples divorce. No other state has as far-reaching a law, and the civil unions might not be recognized in other states. At least 30 states have banned gay marriages, and Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal recognition of homosexual marriage and allowed states to ignore same-sex marriages licensed elsewhere. Gay and lesbian couples have been fighting for the right to be married in a civil ceremony since the 1970’s.

The march on the Capitol drew around 750,000 participants, many carrying signs of loved ones felled by bullets. There were 65 other marches held nationwide for the mothers not able to travel to Washington. President Clinton and the First Lady started the march with a call for gun registration, child safety locks and other gun-safety laws. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 32,000 Americans die from gunfire each year through murders, accidents and suicides. Those marching were demanding what they call common sense gun legislation, including the licensing of gun owners and registration of guns, which are common practices in many developed countries. While the march attracted many lawmakers and celebrities, the main speakers were mostly victims. Participants in the march included an art teacher from Columbine High School, and the mother of Kayla Rolland, the 6-year-old killed by a first-grade classmate in Michigan this winter.

The animals came from Martin Creek Kennels, who allegedly provided the animals from local animal shelters when the animals had reached the 10-day limit before euthanasia. However, the protesters cited the many U.S. Department of Agriculture violations the owner of the kennel had committed, which included fabrication of animal documentation and lack of veterinary care. It was documented that individuals from Arkansas and Mississippi found their stolen pets inside this facility. In 98 percent of the cases, it was reported that ownership of the animals could be traced and verified by the USDA. The protesters aim was to stop both the use of the Martin Creek Kennels as the animal providers, as well as the use of healthy, adoptable animals for mock surgeries.

However, no matter how loud the home crowd became the Beavers could only pull off three wins including an overtime win against 3 Arizona in the final seconds of the game. Preseason play of 99-’00 looked hopeful for OSU winning 9 of 13 games. Two of those wins came from the SoCon Holiday Hoops Tournament in Greensville, S.C. The Beavs beat Clemson 53-35, holding the Tigers to their lowest score since 1970. They also beat South Carolina State, 92-57, who went on to be 1 in the MEAC and seeded 16th in the NCAA finals. However their home streak of 6 wins during the preseason was abruptly halted by a Pac-10 opener loss in the Civil War. The 67-49 loss to the Ducks was followed by two more home losses before Oregon State pulled together on the road to beat both Washington schools. Success was shortly lived as the team dropped five games in a row before beating both Washington teams again with home court advantage. The final win came at home against 3 ranked Arizona. Senior Jason Heide blocked Arizona's Jason Gardner with 14 seconds left. Heide recovered the loose ball, passing it to Deaundra Tanner who threw up a three pointer with 0.2 seconds remaining. Many called this the highlight of the season as the ball fell in for the 70-69 win. However that would be the last win for the '99-'00 season. They went on to loose two more before wrapping up the season 5-13 in conference and 14-17 overall. Story Continued on Pase 149 Tm real excited about next year with our new coaching staff.

After all, the women finished a sur-prisins fifth in the Pac-10 after being picked to conclude the year in eighth place by the conference coaches. The team exceeded expectations and went head to head with some of the nation's top teams. OSU’s record was its best in four seasons. But that just wasn't good enough for Oregon State. The Beavers wanted to earn a postseason berth, either via the NCAA Tournament or the Women's NIT. With three games to play, that dream was still alive, as the Beavers were still in the hunt for a Pac-10 title. The team was only 1 game out of first place and played two teams ahead of them with a chance to move up the standings, needing only one win. Then something happened. A loss in overtime at Arizona was followed by a defeat at Arizona state. Then a questionable officiating call at Oregon might have cost the Beavers a chance at finishing with a .500 record. OSU wound up 14-16 overall and 10-8 in conference play. It was OSU's best record, both overall and conference, since the 1995-96 season. The Beavers would not be a part of March Madness, but would be as ready as ever to compete for a Pac-10 title next season. Our goal at the beginning of the year was to try to be 9-9 or 10-8, Spoelstra said of her team's Pac-10 objective. We felt like, had we done the job preseason-wise, that that would have been enough to get us in the NCAA tournament. The Beavers dropped their Pac-10 opener to Oregon before a loss at Stanford. At 4-10, things looked bleak, and Spoelstra’s job seemed to be on the line. Story Continued on Pase 153 ‘Sissel has really made a tremendous impact on this program.

Oregon State established a Pac-10 defensive record in a victory over California by holding the Bears to 33 points, the fewest points scored by a Pac-10 team in a conference game. Throughout the season, Spoelstra praised her team's work ethic, and other Pac-10 coaches took notice. It was Spoelstra's ability to mold and harvest their desire that earned the praise of her peers, and that resulted in her award as Pac-10 Coach of the year. But the fifth-year coach gives all the credit to her players. I think it’s a great award for the whole team and the staff. Everybody just did a good job of working together,' Spoelstra said. We've got 12 young ladies right now who are totally into this program and really buying into the whole philosophy, and that makes a big difference.’ Replacing Sissel Pierce and Reda Petraitis won't be easy, but Ericka Cook and Kristina Rukstelyte will be able to step into starting roles with strong offseason training. The Beavers may also be able to solve one of their problems for the last five years: by having a true point guard. 'This is the makings of another outstanding year, Spoelstra said.

The team of 16 women began the year with three returning gymnasts who earned All-Pacific-10 honors during the 1998-99 school year. The team also took on seven freshmen, five of which competed at the 1999 Junior Olympic National Meet. 'Having seven freshmen was a big transition. It has proved to be successful though. I think with all the returnees and the added freshmen makes for an awesome team with lots of depth,” said Come Young, senior team member. The transition into college gymnastics was a big challenge for the seven freshmen. Both Annie Campbell and Tanya Ricioli commented on needing to adjust to college competition after competing in club gymnastics for so long. But the two freshmen seemed to adapt quickly to college sports as they both began earning first and second place all around honors. The OSU gymnastics' season began with a second place victory in a four team meet against Michigan State, Ohio State, and Louisiana State University. The team entered the competition with unbridled energy. This aggressiveness contributed to five falls, suggested head coach Tanya Chaplin, after the meet ended. The next two meets were characterized by late comebacks. The win against Brigham Young, with a score of 191.5, showed strong performances on the floor, vault, and beam.

The varsity eight won the petite final and went on to take fourth in the grand final. They were the second fastest Pac-10 crew in the race. This feat hadn't been accomplished since crew became an NCAA sport in 1996.

The team pulled together at the Stanford Invitational to win and post their fastest time of the season of 6:33.6. OSU made waves at the Pac-10 Championships where they upset USC and finished third behind Washington and Cal. This placing was good enough to send them to the NCAA Championships for the third time in four years. The crew got off to a slow start in the Level III Championships but they picked up the pace to finish only 0.6 seconds behind USC. Head Coach Charlie Owen was pleased with their overall performance and improvements throughout the season and commented on the loss of a strong senior class. 'Looking to next year, I'm excited. We've got a really strong novice class coming up, and a lot of people are excited about rowing,' Coach Owen stated. ‘We're losing a lot of experienced people from the first boat, but I think we'll make up for that.

The primary responsibilities were to meet and greet fans, fire up the crowd and make a lot of noise! Stunting, dancing and tumbling were important, but the atmosphere of the arena came first. Oregon State Cheerleading consisted of two co-ed squads. The Black squad cheered at Football and Men's Basketball games. The Orange squad cheered at Volleyball and Women's Basketball games. Both squads were required to attend any special functions, appearances or other events as scheduled by the Athletic Department. Cheerleading was a program funded by the OSU Athletic Department and was not NCAA sanctioned. Oregon State Cheerleading had its own set of rules and regulations set by the OSU Athletic Department. During the 1999-2000 season the squad attended the O'ahu Bowl with the football team and other events while in Hawaii. They stunted and cheered with the band at three pep rallies held at Ala Moana Shopping Center, Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and Bishop Square. They also made a special trip with part of the OSU football team to Kapialam Women and Children's Hospital. The team did not attend any competitions during the 1999-00 school year but with a new head coach, Amber Bezates, hopes were high for the 2000-2001 season. Story Submitted by OSU Athletics It was a great opportunity to be a part of history that the Oregon State football team made this year. We loved to be in Hawaii to support them in the O’ahu Bowl. We are looking forward to making improvements next season with a new coach and find more ways to energize the atmosphere at sporting events.” Krista Fischer Michelle Flanigan cheers the OSU chant with the crowd during an Beaver Football timeout.

The team had a day of rest to recoup from jet lag on Sunday which they spent on mopeds, shopping, site-seeing and on Waikiki beach, just outside their hotel. However, Monday was full of appearances that the team had been scheduled for. A press conference was held each morning at 9:00 at different locations with different players and coaches each day. Then it was straight to practice at lolam High School. The week proved to be full of both times for play and time for work. Each afternoon was different with various activities. Monday, a team photo was taken at the Polynesian Cultural Center and a luau was given in the teams honor later that evening. They were treated to local tradition though some were hesitant of the food. Senior wide receiver Imam Percoats told reporters the next morning at the press conference, 'I didn't think I'd like the food but that surprised me with Teriyaki chicken and salad. I enjoyed that the most.' On Tuesday the team traveled to visit Pearl Harbor and to see a great piece of American history. Wednesday they were taken to the Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park for an afternoon of fun and relaxation and then on Thursday the team attended the team banquet in the evening. On the final day before the bowl game a selected group of football players and cheerleaders visited a local hospital and the children that were there which wrapped up their social visits. The team had a curfew of 11:00PM during the end of week, reassuring the players would be rested for the game. Many of the players families were able to attend the big game and spend Christmas with their sons.

When we got on stage it was obvious that the crowd was there to root for OSU. We were by far the loudest group which made performing there even better. You could feel the excitement that the crowd put out and it was electrifying, said band member Bryan Haynes. Everyone put on their best performance to try to compete with the other teams and pump up their own fans.

Some players offered smiles while others gave hugs, and that meant more to the kids than any t-shirt. Some of the players made a special trip to the intensive care unit. It may have only been an hour of the players time but it was Christmas Eve and many of those kids weren't going home for Christmas. Even though they were a visiting team, it was the idea that these college students cared enough to stop by.

Oregon State had a good turnout of Beaver backers but playing in the Warrior’s house made all the difference. 43,740 people came out Christmas Day to watch the only double header in college football, of which almost 7,000 were Beaver Believers. Oregon State started strong but dwindled as the game continued. OSU drove 80 yards in it's first possession for a 7-0 lead. However, the Hawaiian defense was strong and pressured Beaver quarterback Jonathan Smith and the rest of the offense for the rest of the game. Smith was sacked a total of six times. Inside Rainbow territory became a problem for the Beavers much like that of the Stanford game. They went for four field goals, missing two from 42 and 31 yards, one was blocked from 40 yards and another cleared the uprights to tie the game at the end of the first half from 37 yards. The Beavers would only score another touchdown with 1:27 left in the game. Ken Simonton was held to 18 carries for 157 yards, putting him 39 yards short from breaking Dave Schilling’s career rushing mark. Simonton scored both touchdowns for the Beaver offense, winning the MVP for Oregon State. However, Simonton looked limp in the press conference after the game, knowing the trophy wasn't good enough for the team and a win would have been better. We jut didn’t get it done offensively, he told the press. We weren't consistent enough, just like the Oregon game. With the 23-17 loss, OSU was still pleased with the winning season and it's first bowl appearance since 1965. Head coach dennis Erickson remarked, They deserved to win. They executed on both sides of the ball. We are happy with our season, we were 7-5, but we are disappointed with what happened in the bowl game. It was not how we wanted to finish.” Story By Elizabeth Erwin Ken Simonton is lifted up in celebration by junior Martin Maurer and seniors Aaron Koch and Roddy Tompkins.

Sigma Pi then went on to defeat Phi Delta Theat in the third round. In the lower half of the bracket, OJ's Legal Defense went from bottom seed to the championships, where they walked home with the All-University championship title. During the term, an open league was offered for fraternities, and open teams were offered for independents. In fall term there were 26 teams, with five to six students on each. During winter term, co-rec teams were offered. Because the Memorial Union was used for the games, it charged the students directly. The cost was $12 per night per team. Many teams enjoyed the break from studying to bowl, it was well worth the break. Bowling was a fun and relaxing activity that many friends could participate it. It was also a good way to meet new people who also enjoyed bowling. Story by Shawn McClellan The title of the year's All-University Flag Football Championship went to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Outlaws. After winning in their own independent division, the SAE Outlaws went on to defeat the fraternity finalists, Sigma Phi Epsilon. The victory came about as the Outlaws intercepted the SPE's attempted win, and subsequently ran out the clock. Hui Hme were the victors in the women's division. The game was a rematch with rivals AZA Superstars. The final score was 12-0. According to the December 1st issue of The Daily Barometer, Hui Hine went the entire season without their opponents scoring a point. The co-rec finals featured a victory of Todd's Team Strikes Back over Avery Azalea with a score of 27-6. OSU's flag football program was one of the larger intramural sports on campus. According to Noel Mingo, Assistant Director of IM sports, an estimated 1,100 students participated in the year's flag football program. Although fraternity teams could have almost a full offense and defense line-up, teams usually consisted of IT-12 members. The goal of the intramural sports program was to provide a structured, competitive, yet safe environment for students who were looking to get out and play. These usually consisted of students who played on their high school varsity teams. Separate divisions were provided for competitive and more fun-oriented students.

The guys of West Side Bonds trampled the brothers of Sigma Pi and the girls of Buck 60 Easy crushed the Lady Foxes. The hot, sweaty smell of victory, good 'ol blood and guts, would linger in the air until another year. The title of champion was on the line, and when jerseys were done being ripped, people were fouled out, all three pointers were swooshed, and the sound of the final whistle of the referee had settled, there could only be one winning team, and many, many losers. Sigma Pi was the champ of the fraternities and squared off against the squad of football men, who were numero uno in the independent league. ‘There were so many male teams competing that it was necessary to have separate teams for the independents and the fraternities,- said Heidi Gillette, event organizer and graduate student at OSU. “It wasn't necessary for the women though. One could almost smell the adrenaline and tension between the two men’s teams, in the action packed, no holds barred final. Half time saw a close game with West Side Bonds ahead 20-17. The final score was 53-45 with the win going to West Side Bonds. ‘The Sigma Pi's came out strong and kind of surprised us a little,- said Shane House, player on West Side Bonds. We're excited we won, we had a lot of guys out here which ment a lot. Buck 60 Easy made defeating the Lady Fixes look easy with a 38-18 win in the fox hole. There were not as many spectators for the women's game as there were for the men's, said Chandra Allison, sophomore at OSU. ‘But there was just as much action! The years IM basketball season was very successful with a total of 123 teams that participated, 18 women's teams and 105 men’s teams. The men's league was comprised of an A league which was the higher skill level, participated in the playoffs and lasted for four weeks. There was also a less competitive B league which lasted for five weeks. There was only an A league for women and their schedule coincided with the Men’s A league. The 2000 season saw about the same amount of teams come out and play ball as last year, with only a slight increase. It also went very smoothly and was dubbed a success. ‘There were only 10 forfeits which made the season a lot more enjoyable for everyone, said Debbi Rothmund, Secretary of the IM office. ‘There was a lot of disciplinary action taken against people hanging on the rim though, which along with dunking is illegal in our program.- Besides three non rim-related ejections, most found the season a lot of fun. ‘My team just played and had fun, we messed around and didn't take ourselves too seriously,’ said Gus Gates, junior at OSU.

The competition consisted of 20 teams, which competed for six weeks every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Intramural billiards have been a part of OSU for eight years now, averaging 22 teams each year. Despite the amount of teams that took place in the competition over the years, IM billiards has still been on a decrease, but still enough teams made the competition interesting. The standard cost for each team to compete in billiards competition was $38. In future years to come, IM billiards were hoping to have an increasing number of participants to help OSU billiards stay strong. Story by Patrick McCall It was just an awesome experience! At least that was how Keith Warner, a junior in liberal arts, described the season of Intramural Water Polo, from which the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon emerged victorious. 'It's not even really about winning,” Warner went on to add, there’s no real prize, we just do it for the sense of competition with other students.' Although, that’s not to say that the competition didn’t get heated. Junior James Owen, who also acted as president of Club Water Polo, said that the hardest part of officiating for the IM Water Polo was getting the contestants, who were often new to the sport, to understand the calls he was making. In the heat of the battle, it’s sometimes difficult to take the time to explain the rules to the new kids, explained Owens. We've got incredible officials because we recruit players for that purpose, said Kate Ritchey, sport coordinator for the IM sports. The contests are played by men’s rules, and teams can run as large as 20 members,' elaborated Ritchey, though only seven players from each team are actually allowed in the pool at one time.' We’ve tried different sets of rules over the years, from Co-Recreation rules to allowing the participants to use intertubes , Ritchey explained, But people simply didn't like them as well as standard men’s rules. Enrollment in water polo has stayed extremely steady over the years, said director of facilities and IM sports, Charlie Fisher. Fisher was not sure of the exact start date of the program, but commented, It’s been going on since before I came here 20 years ago.’ Warner sums it up best when he says, The intensity is amazing for something as small as IM Water Polo. Everyone is out there to have a good time, and it is just that.’ Story by Jacob TenPas Weekly billiard players would meet in the Memorial Union recreation center to compete in the IM Billiard games.

Our goal was to provide students with an opportunity to share experiences, learn from one another, and to facilitate networking with other cycling enthusiasts outside the campus community. The OSU cycling club supported undergraduate and graduate students of all abilities and cycling interests, and promoted cycling year round through participation in competitive and non-competitive road, track, cyclocross, and mountain biking events. Any individual attending Oregon State University was welcome to join the Cycling Club and take advantage of all the benefits it had to offer, from race and tour support to tips, to advice and coaching in developing one's ability to ride.

The club has introduced many OSU students and faculty to pistol shootins durins its lifespan. Firearm safety, operation and marksmanship were emphasized in the shootins program. The 50-foot indoor range provided an ideal setting for practicing pistol marksmanship and providing instruction to new shooters. The Pistol Club provided all equipment necessary to shoot, including pistols, safety equipment, targets, instruction and a place to shoot. Pistol shooting remained a popular pastime for OSU students, with the Pistol Club having one of the largest memberships of the sport clubs. The Pistol Club sponsored the OSU Varsity Pistol Team, which competed each year in the Willamette Valley Pistol League. The OSU team concluded the 1998-99 season as the 1st place handicap team. The club also hosted a collegiate sectional, the qualifying match for the collegiate national championships. Pistol Club officers for the 1999-00 school year were: Paul Manghelli, President; Wayne Cornwall, V.P.; Brian Scott, Treasurer,-Adam Carlson, secretary,- Brian Hibberd, Amber Stickel and Brian Kreowski, Range officers; and Bob Paasch, faculty advisor.

Garret Towne. a sophomore studying Electrical Engineering, practices his aim at the practice range. Photo by Sttcy Texe o The Oregon State University Rifle Club was a club sport dedicated to teaching gun safety while engaging in regional competitions. In the club's history there have been great moments such as placing first in NCAA competitions. Looking through the sites of a rifle aimed in on a target 50 feet down the range, one can see the difficulty in hitting the center of a small black spot an inch tall on a piece of paper. Here there were no benches to rest your rifle, it was your control of the rifle to shoot the perfect shot consistently. Scoring 10's consistently was the goal of our members. The rifle club competed in several small-scale matches in the Willamette Valley League. Shooting matches in such places as Shedd, Oregon have new meaning to club members. It was a test of their ability to work with the competition site, which were different from the OSU range. The OSU Rifle Club practiced at the Indoor Range twice a week. Between and behind several buildings, the target range provided a great place to practice the skills we needed to compete. During the year the club had many new members as well as many returning members. More women coming into the club was leading to an all women’s team to compete side-by-side with our other teams. With a close-knit club and dedication, the rifle teams will compete very well throughout the season.

Last season saw the lady ruggers advance to the Pacific coast Championships where the eventual national champion, Stanford, defeated them. During the 1999-00 season the OSU squad almost doubled its numbers of participants and jumped out to a 9-2 record for the first half of the season. The Women's Rugby Club also hosted the Pacific Championship during the season, an advantage that could help propel the ladies into the national championship of collegiate rugby. The 1999-2000 team was comprised mostly of veteran players with a few rookies sprinkled in. Ten of the returning starters competed in last year's playoff run and provide the Beavs with a great core of team leadership. They've also proved to be great role models for the new players who, for the most part, had never even seen a game before they started playing. The new players brought with them loads of enthusiasm and energy that made many of them successful in their first year.

Things started to turn around with the additions of some new players. The 1999-00 team had some unbelievable talent. With the addition of this talent, more matches were scheduled with more competitive teams. The team did extremely well and would continue to be very competitive with each additional match. Every member of the team was excited about the upcoming year. The excitement of the team made them all work hard and want to continue their success. With each practice more and more people turned up to play. Only a selected few that came to the practices were invited to play in matches on the road so the practices were both fun and intense since everyone wanted to better themselves. Everyone one who played with the tennis club at OSU was very friendly and loved the game of tennis. Tennis was a sport which needs a lot of practice and concentration to improve. For some players this was the last year they would be at OSU, they would be missed in the future years but what they gave to the tennis club would not be forgotten.

Members included those who were new to triathlon, intermediate-level triathletes, and we even had members who competed at the Ironman level. As a result, being part of the club was a perfect way for all members to share and gain knowledge as well as inspiration. Club activities included videotaping swim workouts to improve technique, offering spinning classes for bike training during the winter, providing a new triathlete orientation about the sport of triathlon, and training in small groups (especially in the spring) with the goal of competing in individual or team competitions at regional races. There were several spring distance triathlons in the area to use as training goal. One of these, the Beaver Freezer, occured in early April and was put on through the club. This was our major fund raising activity of the year and usually allowed us to pay for race entry fees for other races. The goal of the year was to send athletes to the Wildflower Triathlon in California and the Pacific Crest Half Ironman outside of Bend, Oregon, as well as to welcome new members into the rewarding world of triathlon.

The college moved into the new building in 1889, which was when this photo was taken. The building was paid for by the citizens of Benton County at a cost of $25,000. The fundraising began in 1885 with the formation of The State Agricultural College Association of Citizens of Benton County which was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring the funds to build this new college building on College Hill.' Benton Hall itself is a frame building with a brick exterior which was then cemented over in 1899. The clock that can be seen in the tower was not installed until 1988, and prior to that time clock faces were simply painted on the tower. Since it was built Benton Hall has served the university in many ways. When it was first completed it housed all of the college's labs and classrooms. It then housed the library until 1918, the President's Office until 1923 and administrative offices through the 1940's. The building is currently used to house the university's music department which has occupied the hall since the mid-1920's. While at one time Benton Hall was part of the college farm site, it now sits next to the Valley Library and is one of the first buildings seen as students and visitors enter the campus off 14th and Jefferson. OSU A chiv s photo � J8 Alpha Hall, built in 1889, originally occupied the site of the Social Science Hall. The hall was the second building built on campus and was the first dormitory built. Alpha Hall was used as a men’s and women's dormitory for it's first year and was then used exclusively as a women's dormitory until Waldo Hall was built in 1907. It was then used by the School of Pharmacy in the 1920’s. The hall was moved north twice from its original site and eventually part of the building was torn down while the remaining portion was moved to an off-campus location. OSU Archrrtt photo P16:170 244 feature Known currently to students as the Women's Center, this buildins built in 1892, has served a vast number of purposes. Originally built as the Station Building it was used for the Agricultural Experiment Station.

Though its uses have changed dramatically the building itself looks very similar to when it was first built. OSU Archrrt! photo 934 Originally named Cauthom Hall and used as a men's dormitory, what is now known as Fairbanks Hall was built in 1892. The hall was originally named for State Senator and OAC Regent Thomas Cauthom.

From 1915-1931 the hall was used as a women's dorm and as of 1927 was known as Kidder Hall. It was in 1935 that the hall was converted to classroom use and then renamed Fairbanks Hall in 1964 in memory of J. Leo Fairbanks, head of the art department from 1923-1946. Today the hall houses the art and sociology departments and is home to galleries that showcase the work of OSU students, staff, faculty and guests.

It was also used as the women's gym from 1914-1926; a rehearsal hall for the cadet band and symphonic orchestra; and even housed commencement from 1899-1910. From 1936-1950 it housed the Horner Museum, and was the Mitchell Playhouse for the college theater from 1951-1990. The building was condemned in 1990 and then restored in 1992 with a donation by OSU alumni Wayne and Gladys Valley to be used for the gymnastics program.

It was here that students of all ability levels could successfully build upon their current leadership and outdoor skills. Partnerships with OSU Recreational Sports, ASOSU Experimental College, academic departments, and other OSU programs enabled participants to interact with a wide array of faculty and staff in a variety of recreational settings. Some of these activities might have included hiking, mountain biking, camping, deep sea or fly fishing and rock climbing. In addition to these, the program took residents over water and through snow to go on rafting or kayaking trips, and snowcamping or ice-climbing adventures.

All-hall events sponsored by our great staff throughout the year proved to be both exciting and helpful! Our hall council was very busy rewriting the constitution, and discussing different ways to make life easier and enjoyable for all of its residents. Highlights throughout the year included our bachelor auction, which raised money for the Make a Wish Foundation, a very worthy charity. Also various events raised a great deal of money for the Katy Zollner scholarship fund. Overall, it was a very thrilling year, full of new friends, interesting experiences, and unforgettable memories. Story by Jennifer Ferns Hawley resident.

With its quiet and clean atmosphere, it also housed the Graduate Student program here at OSU. Students came from all over the world and choose the College Inn, making this residence hall an exceptionally diverse and culturally accepting environment. There were over two hundred single, double, and triple rooms and six floors of total living space. Rooms came with semi-private bathrooms, spacious walk-in closets, and a weekly housekeeping service. Having phone service, cable, and eth-emet connections in each room were added bonuses. Throughout the year the College Inn placed a stronger emphasis on community throughout the building by programming social events and participating in community service projects. In addition to meeting others through the facilitated programs, people also made lifelong friends just by hanging out in the lounge, poolroom, weight room, or dining room. The food here was always great with a wide variety of options for every meal. Residents were independent to choose their own lifestyle and this freedom was what made the College Inn a great place to live.

Each member was responsible for his part in the running of the house. Living in a cooperative house you were faced with new and exciting experiences that you could find no where else. Heckart acted as a tightly bound family where the guys could rely on each other while at OSU and in the years to come. There was always a door open and an ear waiting to listen if you needed someone to talk to. Or if you just wanted to drop in a room and hang out; we shared many moments just talking and relaxing after studying. There were many places to be at Heckart: Shooting pool in our dining room, watching a movie in the TV room, or just relaxing and playing the piano in the living room. There was always something to do. To add to the living environment, we had many activities with other coops. Each spring we hosted our annual Heckart Lodge Street Dance and invited anybody and everybody to come and enjoy the night. It was a great way to get to know more people than just the ‘guys’ in the house. Heckart Lodge was really a great place to live with our fine food, fun activities and strong community.

The Women of Oxford House (WOOHs) enjoyed the family-like atmosphere formed by students of different backgrounds. Individualism was an important attribute at Oxford, giving it an enjoyable and gratifying environment, and providing the opportunity to build strong friendships with people. Living in a coop taught cooperation and responsibility within a close-knit community. Many WOOHs took the opportunity to strengthen their leadership skills by having a position on the executive council. Members of the house were also involved with various campus organizations. Traditions were abundant at Oxford House. The Fall Ball was quite popular and winter term people looked forward to taking a break from school at Sunriver. Other activities included the annual alumni luncheon, mystery date, and Shasta trip with Varsity House. Story by Oxford House 264 • living groups Top right: Joni Bailey.

It housed 53 funny, talented and diverse sirls who made Reed Lodse an enjoyable place to live. All the sirls pitched in to make the runnins of the house 30 smoothly. Like the other coops at OSU, each member had work responsibilities for the house whether it be cleanins the spacious TV room, doins dishes from one of the meals, or wakins up up the other members on the third floor sleepins porch when requested. Our cooperative functioned as a well orsanized Sroup of individuals. More than a mere sroup, however, Reed Lodse acted as a family. We all cared for and respected each other which made livins at Reed an experience none of would forset. We had special activities that set Reed apart from other livins establishments. In addition to the frequent wake-ups, tuck-ins, and can-dle-passinss, we had a sweet little boy for a sponsor child named Brent who loved to set letters from over fifty sirls on a resular basis. We had an annual house formal where we could dress up and dance the nisht away. Every winter we took a trip to Sunriver where we skied, played in the snow, and relaxed in the hot tub. These activities and many more kept us sirls hav-ins fun between studyins and test takins. The relationships made at Reed were ones to be remembered always.

Photo by Reed Lodge Reed Lodge 267 Many other houses would boast of their many different characteristics. Some would say they had the bisgest parties; others would say they had the best GPA; still others prided themselves in the building of ‘'men.' While we at Varsity House would certainly have liked to boast about these things, it was another aspect of our house we believed distinguished this house from all others. We built men for God. Even more, we built warriors for the gospel of Jesus Christ. The central purpose of Varsity House was to bring in young kids as they begin college and through fellowship and discipleship, give them the opportunity to become mighty men of God. We, at Varsity House, also sought to glorify God through rootbeer dances par-ties, once a term, and many intramural sports. As quoted by freshman Eric Powell, VH has been a great place to live. A great place to live for more than 35 years. Varsity House was founded in the 1960’s with the purpose of providing a Christian living atmosphere for young men at OSU. It was proven that Varsity had more than achieved its goal. Story By Cameron Monzie Top right Luke Monroe and Austin Thomas take Varsity House President.

After the annual Sunriver retreat which always precedes recruitment and the start of school everyone was excited to be back and see each other. Formal fall recruitment was a huge success as we received an incredible new freshman class that had so much spunk and enthusiasm. As school fell into full swing everyone was busy with studying, club activities, social functions, and the best part of all, getting to know our new sisters. Homecoming with Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, Sigma Chi's Derby Days, and Dad’s Weekend with Acacia provided entertainment and loads of laughs for all of the women at KD As the winter months of rain and clouds set in it still didn't let the spirits of KD dwindle. There was still so much to do as the year was one of a new executive council with so much promise. In March, our Shamrock Project which was Mock Rock for the prevention of child abuse was hosted by all of the ladies at KD. Milam was filled with students to see the annual lip-sync contest that produced a very entertaining and hysterical evening. Flowers were blooming at KD as everyone returned from Spring Break. Little Shop of Horrors was the theme for IFC Sing with the gentlemen of Kappa Sigma, which contained terrific choreography and beautiful singing for Mom's Weekend. Coming with the end of the year also came tears as we had to say good-bye to those going on exchange or going on to another stage in life.

Members united by a common bond, strive to uphold the Cardinal Principles of sound Learning, Friendship and Moral Rectitude, everywhere and at all times. The Oregon Beta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta at Oregon State University was chartered in 1918. Since our beginnings, the goal of creating well-rounded college men has been our primary concern. Few experiences in a man's life are more important than those shared with his closest friends. Whether it was the daily drudgery or of seeing new things for the first time, it was these special times that would become memories for the future. This was the essence of Phi Delta Theta. As we moved into the new millennium, the Chapter would implement new changes, while still abiding by our principles. We would continue adapting to the needs and requirements of our headquarters and our university. Regardless of our changes, it was the individual members that brought life to a Fraternity, for they were the reasons for our existence. Phi Delts made contributions both on campus and in the community. Phi Delts were involved in varsity sports, campus groups, volunteer activities, as well as community service organizations. Through remembrance of our past and our preparation of the future, we ensured that Phi Delta Theta would be at Oregon State University for many, many years.

Some of our accomplishments included the Sigma Pi Fraternity International Grand Sages award, Brennan Cup, OSU Intramural sports champions, IFC Scholarship Award, and the Sigma Pi Fraternity International Scholarship Award. Although we have accomplished many heights, we never allowed ourselves to be satisfied. Scholarship, among other things, was often stressed. It was common for Sigma Pi’s all house GPA to be well above that of the university's all-men’s average. Leadership was also given importance. We encouraged our members to be involved in many leadership activities in our house and on campus. Leadership experience gained at Sigma Pi often proved valuable to the college experience as well as in the real world. Sigma Pi also realized the importance of being active in the community. Some of our numerous involvement programs included highway cleanup and the American Red Cross blood drive. Our Singled Out fund-raiser made $1,500 for our national cause, the American Red Cross. Scholarship, leadership, and philanthropy were nothing without the brotherhood that Sigma Pi had to offer. The men of Sigma Pi were always supportive of each other and willing to lend a helping hand, whether it was our outstanding brotherhood that helped us to attain the ever-growing goals and heights, we strove to achieve.

We stressed achieving academic excellence and being involved in the campus and fraternity communities. Our goal was to create strong leaders and members of the Oregon State community who were prepared to face life after graduation. In addition we stressed getting the most out of our college experience. At Theta Chi we prided ourselves on strong brotherhood that enhanced our years at Oregon State. Annual social activities included our Red Ox bam dance, Winter Formal, and the Tiki-tiki Luau held each spring. Throughout the year our brothers kept active in community service activities including Habitat-For- Humanity, Boys and Girls American Club, Corvallis Plant-a-Tree program, and Red Cross blood drives. In addition, our chapter annually held a Powder Puff football tournament, along with Alpha Phi sorority, with proceeds benefiting the Pacific Northwest Transplant Bank. Our members were actively involved in all aspects of campus life including the Interfratemity Council, ASOSU student government, OSU athletics, professional societies, academic honor societies, and Ousts First Year Experience program. Theta Chi strove to help its brothers benefit from the experiences that were offered at Oregon State and to offer a helping hand to others along the way.

Despite new classes and the stress of studying after a long break, several members still managed to make time to participate in IM Football, the local blood drive, and many other clubs and events. These included such clubs as Collegiate FFA, Fish and Wildlife Club, Crop and Social Sciences Club, and the Young Cattleman’s Organization. Winter term was very active for the men of AGR. Travis Waite, a junior in agricultural education was elected to serve as one of Oregon State’s Ag Ambassadors and Ryan Ottoman was elected to serve on the ASOSU senate for the College of Agriculture spring term. We also hosted a canned food drive in conjunction with Delta Gamma sorority and got third place in Kappa Delta's Mock Rock philanthropy. Several members also aided the Collegiate FFA during the State FFA Convention in Ontario, Oregon. During the spring, Will Johnson, sophomore and president of the Fish and Wildlife Club traveled with the club to Yellowstone National Park.

We worked hard when we needed to, but we also knew it was important to have lots of fun as well. We only accepted the hishest quality individuals for membership in our organization. As well as being unified, Chi Phi exemplified itself in sports as well. We were proud of our semi-final football team as well as our OSU Intramural Basketball team. The variety of athletic involvement continued through many other sports and activities such as softball, soccer, biking, and jogging. Another area Chi Phi exceled in was the academic arena. We had many programs in place to help each brother meet his goals for himself. Incentives included award dinners and scholarships, our academic performance was a reflection of our pride in the chapter. Chi Phi was very involved socially as well. Each term we threw at least one party. The first function of the year was our Halloween party we affectionately called Heaven and Hell. During Winter term, we had two functions. These included “Hawaiian Winter, and Powder Party, which was held at Mt. Bachelor, which was where we all got away from the pressures of school. Chi-Phi’s were great leaders at OSU, and many of our members were involved in student government and Inter-Fratemity Council. For over 170 years, Chi Phi had held its place as a top fraternity locally and nationally. Story By Chi-Phi The Chi Phi’s show off their 1st place ball in the Sigma Kappa Sideout tournament.

We were also the only nonsecret fraternity in existence today- this meant that there were no handshakes, secret meeting places, and members were aware of requirements, expectations and traditions when initiating. Delta Upsilon prided itself on its diversity, acceptins men regardless of race, religion, interest, or social group. Our house's first priority was academic excellence. We took pride in being one of the academic leaders on campus as well as being actively involved in campus activities such as: Interfraternity Council, Liberal Arts Ambassador, ASOSU Senate, IFC Sing Leaders, ROTC, Varsity Sports, Intramural Sports, The Daily Barometer, Thanes (Sophomore Honorary), Cardinal Honors, KBVR FM radio station, and many other groups and clubs. One of our most distinguished alumni, Linus Pauling, won several nobel peace prizes. Throughout the year we provided many services. Some of these included the hot tub-a-thon, which benefited Doembecher Children’s Hospital, we were the top participants in the Blood Drive, we help moved Frosh into the dorms, and we had one of the oldest philanthropy programs on campus dating back to the 50's. One of our programs was giving underprivileged children presents at Christmas with Santa.

With members involved in multiple scholastic honor societies, departmental clubs and organizations, as well as IFC, student leadership, ASOSU, intramurals, the OSU Center for Writing and Learning, and many more, Fiji’s leadership on campus was being noticed. Thousands of dollars in scholarships and many prestigious awards were awarded to our members, from OSU, International PGD, and many other sources which recognized excellence in leadership and academics. This combination of a jump in membership, the highest term-GPA of any living group in the history of Oregon State (3.29 house average in Spring 1999), the vigorous pursuit of academic and service opportunities, along with the substance-free environment of the Chapter House, created a positive setting unlike any other at OSU.

The rush class was one of the biggest since being re-chartered in 1987, having twenty-one new members. Phi Sigma Kappa was growing in size and in strength every year in existence. Our house was one of the most diversified on campus and would continue to be this way. This was what separated us from the rest.

We ranked first in the intramural title race and repeated as champions from last year. Our soccer team made it to the all-greek championships, and our softball team did extraordinarily well. Many of our members participated in the March of Dimes event. We strove to be solid in all aspects in life, giving our members an edge when they reached life after college. We added to the college experience by giving brotherhood and support to our members, while still striving to improve ourselves in academics. Our goal was to be uncommon men in an uncommon world. To be uncommon in today's world you needed knowledge in, as well as out, of the classroom. Our chapter sponsored many events during the year, such as workshops and speakers to help our members develop in all areas of their life. We were one of the only fraternities that attended Kristin's Story, a speaker on rape and sexual assault. We had over half of our membership attend the event. That was over 50 men, all learning about how to handle situations in the lives of their peers. As you can see, we had a busy year and were doing our best to create balanced individuals for life outside of Oregon State. Story By Sigma Phi Epsilon The SPE’s pose on the steps of Memorial Union.

Since its beginning at Oregon State in 1882, the ATO fraternity has been a leader in producing the highest quality members possible. Alpha Tau Omega has always been at the forefront of making men better. The 180,000+ members belonging to more than 150 chapters nationwide have shown how much of an impact ATO's are making on the world today. Alumni dinners, Homecoming, and chapter brotherhood brought our fraternity together no matter how old or far apart. The biggest part of our existence here was to provide members with an education. Our scholarship program and resource networking was good for all members and benefitted our house grades. Social life was also a big part of contributing better men into the real world. Along with other social funtions, our annual Black Butte Binder ski trip, Shasta trip, and huge Waikiki Nights function always provided a good time for our members and guests.

We believed that a healthy collese experience included a number of varied aspects. Everyone came to Oregon State to pursue academic success. However, at Kappa Sigma we felt that future success did not depend on academic achievement alone, but must be accompanied by a development of our social character as well. At Kappa Sigma we felt that while developing new brothers for our fraternity, we were at the same time aiding the growth of the individual. When one joined Kappa Sigma, they belonged to a group with proven success. Last year we were able to raise over $15,000 for the American Cancer Society through our annual Civil War Game Ball Run philanthropy. We also distinguished ourselves with a large number of members being active on campus and in the community; yet maintaining a balance between academics and social activities has never been a problem for any Kappa Sigma. With events such as our annual house dances, 'Magenta Lobster,’ and Barbary Coast they provided a much needed break from academics. At Kappa Sigma we felt confident that the knowledge and experiences we received from Oregon State and our fraternity would help us to be successful in any endeavor we chose.

The men of Pi Kappa Phi live in a three story colonial mansion that has stood strong for over 70 years. Our members were continuing to strive for the highest possible standards in scholarship, leadership, philanthropy, diversity, and athletics. With men from all over the nation, and also from other countries, our house was continuing to diversify and to grow into the chapter that we knew we could be. We were proud of our philanthropy, and PUSH America. PUSH America was the onfy national outreach project started by a fraternity to succeed. Last year we held a major event each term, such as PUSH-A-Thons, and Book Store Raffles. When it came time to take a break from life of scholars, the men of Pi Kappa Phi knew how to have a good time. With social events throughout the year Pi Kapps could meet other Greeks on campus, and form unique bonds. Our house was truly made for spring with the largest lawn of all the Greek houses. Our highlight was our annual Rose Ball in which we transformed our front yard into a giant pond and formed a 30ft waterfall. Last year we assembled a monstrous 45ft long slip-n-slide, to go along with our Bar-B-Qs and our alcohol-free yard parties.

Unwilling to conform to the system of physical abuse and hazing of underclassmen at VMI, the three cadets, James Hopkins, Greenfield Quarles, and James Riley, were led to form the Legion of Honor, in 1868. Sigma Nu Fraternity prides itself as being a leader of the Greek community. In the 70's and 80's Sigma Nu Fraternity established many leadership programs and innovations that have been modeled within the Greek community such as the LEAD program (Leadership, Ethics, Achievement, and Development). Sigma Nu was the pioneer of the Risk Reduction program within the Greek community. It’s no wonder why we were ranked 1 by the Executive Directors of all 59 national fraternities. Today the men of the Delta Tau chapter of Sigma Nu actively participate in many philanthropic and brotherhood building activities. Last December the combined efforts of the various sororities and female cooperatives on campus led by Sigma Nu collected over 300 toys for deserving children with the Toys for Tots program. Sigma Nu also participated in an annual Downtown Cleanup as part of an effort to keep our city looking clean.

Many women in the chapter also held jobs, spent time volunteering for various organizations, and held campus leadership positions. Yet when our studying and work was done, we didn't forget that college was supposed to be the time of your life, and we made it that way! Socially, we had allhouse and pledge class retreats, a formal dance and a bam dance, sisterhood events, and participated in functions with other fraternities and sororities. So if you're looking for a fun time with great friends, then there was never a dull moment at Alpha Chi Omega. The strength and membership of our chapter has remained strong since being established at Oregon State in 1915 as the first sorority on campus. Recently, our local chapter was recognized on the national level and given awards in the areas of new member education, and chapter programming, and we were ranked as one of the ten strongest chapters in the nation. Our strength came from our members who were friendly, hard-working, down-to-earth women who wanted to bring the best out of each other and out of the chapter.

They were initiated in November and were a great asset to our house. Crimson Rose, our formal house dance, was held in February and we had a great time with our sisters and our dates. Our house had its annual philanthropy, Alpha Gam Slam in March. It was a fun-filled three-on-three basketball tournament that raised money for Juvenile Diabetes. This sorority was very involved in on-campus and Greek related activities. The ladies of our sorority were also very involved in philanthropies and national hon-oraries. We had a Christmas gift exchange, and Valentine’s Day card exchange and some fun sisterhoods, these annual parties and get-togethers brought us closer and helped us realize how great it was to live in a house full of close friends and sisters. It was a great school year and we look forward to next year and many more to come.

Work week provided a chance to catch upon old times and participate in activities like community service projects. Bid Day brousht the house a pledge class of 22 bright, beautiful, and energetic women. During Fall Informal Rush, five wonderful women joined the freshman pledge class. Fall term brought many activities and achievements including placing first in Homecoming week with Sigma Chi fraternity, and winning the Powder Puff football tournament provided by Theta Chi fraternity, as well as strong participation in many other philanthropies. Dad's Weekend was also an exciting event this term which included an auction, brunch, and lots of football. We wrapped up the term with the Forget-Me-Not Formal House dance and a senior Christmas party with a visit from Santa Claus, of course! Year round, Alpha Phi's were kept busy promoting academics, service, and sisterhood. Cardinal Honors, MUPC, Chamber Choir, Beaver Club, OSU Women's Soccer, Intramural sports, volunteer coaching and honors fraternities round out the list of activities.

We placed second in the Greek Community and third in the house decoratins contest. Our Fall Formal Enchantment Under the Sea was a fun way to introduce our beautiful new members into the sisterhood of Alpha Xi Delta. We started Fall term with Dad's Weekend in which we had a pizza and football bash, initiation, and our end of the term Christmas Party and Ornament Exchanse. Durins winter term, we concentrated on our philanthropy Choose Children and sisterhood in which we put on the Garfield Elementary School carnival, made valen- tines and decorated the Heart of the Valley, and had a snow tubing get-away. Spring term we looked forward to Mom's Weekend and singing in IFC with Phi Delts , implementing our first annual Swing in the Spring Philanthropy in which we took all funded money and rebuilt parks in Corvallis, and our spring bam dance. At Alpha Xi Delta we promoted strength in unity and individuality. This was reflected through our member's participation in everything from MUPC and ASOSU to intramurals and campus academic honoraries. Our motto was Helping Women to Realize their Potential and each of us strove to incorporate this in our daily routines.

We put our hearts into fall recruitment, and our new pledges caught it too. Chi Omegas’ cheered the loudest at the Beavers football games. Chi Omegas’ made it a priority to get the best grades. It was easy to see that we get the most out of our years spent attending Oregon State University. A Chi Omega began her day reluctant to get out of bed, as most college students did. And ended after a night of studying in her room, an evening spent with the girls or a really great function kept her up to the wee hours of the morning. Even on minimal sleep, she still managed to look marvelous for her full day of classes. Evenings for Chi Omegas could consist of activities as varied as our members. For many, it was not enough to just be a passive member of a club or organization. Chi Omegas had leadership positions in MU governing board and programming, Greek task force, Mortarboard, Talons, Alpha Kappa Psi, International Fashion, and Order of Omega to name a few. A member might be training for Varsity Crew or planning for our philanthropy, Kick it the Chi-O way. She might be doing the marketing for a beaver basketball game, or spending her time as a big sis in Corvallis. Chi Omegas made it a point to be dedicated and enthusiastic about everything they set out to do.

Tri Delts started off the school year with their annual rush retreat where friendships started right where they left off the year before. Tri Delts came back eager for rush week, which successfully added an exemplary group of new girls to our family. Tri Delts philanthropies allowed them to give back to the surrounding community. The 48-hour Teeter Totter raised money for children's cancer charities. For the first time Tri Delts teamed up with Delta Upsilon for the Hot-Tub-a-thon, which contributed to the same cause. Don't forget about Tri Delts annual Dad's Weekend Pancake Breakfast that raised money for scholarships. Leadership was emphasized by Tri Delta. Many girls had offices in the house as well as their own jobs or various volunteer activities. Tri Delts could be found participating in Greek Week, Homecoming Week, MUPC, Panhellenic, and Talons. Tri Delts were also involved in OSU Cheerleading, Varsity Crew, and Intramural sports. We also knew how to play. From Bam Dance to the Stars and Crescent Ball, there was never a dull moment. Delta Delta Delta was named Most Spirited House by Sigma Chi's Derby Days. They also joined us to sing and dance for IFC Sing during Mom’s Weekend. Nationally founded in 1888 and established at OSU in 1918, our purpose has been to have a perpetual bond of friendship as well as develop a strong character. We came together to form a lifelong bond of trust, loyalty, and friendship.

We pride ourselves on havins strong membership through individuality, diversity, and leadership. The members of Delta Gamma continuously strove for excellence with our motto Do good. Delta Gamma members consistently placed high in grades, while surpassing the all-university activities and clubs including the Memorial Union Program Council, Student Alumni Association, Student Foundation, OSU varsity athletics, and many OSU honorary clubs. Delta Gamma’s philanthropic activities were highlighted with their annual Anchor Splash competition, which was named Philanthropy of the Year in 1998. This raised thousands of dollars for Aid to the Blind and Sight Conservation through a week of events involving members of the Greek community. Members of Delta Gamma were also very active in intramural sports including soccer, volleyball, football, and softball.

To honor this special occasion we held a reception with attendees from our Portland Alumni Chapter, University of Oreson’s Sigma Kappa Chapter, and OSU's President Paul Risser. Sigma Kappa was involved with a variety of activities. Our philanthropic activities include selling lolli pop's and participating in the Corvallis area Memory Walk. Both raised money for the Alzheimer's Foundation in which Sigma Kappa was the second largest contributor. We also sent supplies to the coast of Maine to help people who were unable to get necessities during the holiday season. The Snakes participated in many activities outside of the house both academic honors as well as clubs. Fall term we initiated 17 beautiful new members into our Mystic Bond. We also participated in Greek and Homecoming Week activities, and Sigma Chi Derby Days. Dad's Weekend was a big hit at the Sigma Kappa House.

The club also strove to provide an opportunity for better communication and liaison between students, the department, the College of Ag. Science, and private and public organizations which provided opportunities for field experience and leadership training. The club was ran by Co-Presidents Will Johnson and Jason yarmer. Sarah Miller was the secretary treasurer and Rebecca Goggans was the faculty advisor. With over 25 active members, the Fish and Wildlife Club was active in many areas. During the year the club participated in many field trips to help members gain experience in the field of fisheries and wildlife, which they could not gain through classrooms. Banding neo-tropical birds at Finley Wildlife Refuge, salmon seining at Yaquina Bay, birds of prey capturing at Bonnie's Butte, prescribed wildlife bums, installing osprey prey perches, surveying red legged frogs, spotted owl nest site surveys, and a trip to the wildlife forensics lab in Ashland, Oregon were projects taken on by the club during the year An important goal of the club was public outreach, par-ticularty in education. Twice a year the club helped put on Museum Days. It was a two day program that helps educate area school children about the environment around them. It was put on every fall and spring involving more than 20 members from the Fish and Wildlife Club alone. Every year in the quad, the club displayed a booth in the College of Ag. Sciences Ag Days'. The 2000 Ag day was held on May 9th and members of the club taught ffy fishing, held a casting contest, had professional and departmental volunteers answering questions related to riparian area ecology and restoration. Every spring break, members of the club traveled to far away lands to leam about natural resource issues outside of Oregon. In 1999-2000 the club chose Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding areas. In all 13 members spent six days working with biologists in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho learning about important issues in conservation and restoration. The highlights were working with wolf-biologists in the park. This entailed snow shoeing into a wolf kill and wolf behavioral studies in the morning and the evening. Bison work was also conducted. Members participated in a study examining snowmobile use and bison migration out of the park A fish biologist in the park educated members on problems facing the fishery in the area. Other stops along the way included the National Elf Refuge in Jackson, Snake River Birds of Prey Area, and a lecture by wolf expert Dr. Mech The trip was a huge success and was enjoyed by all who attended.

The SCA was a non-profit educational organization which re-created the Middle Ages and Renaissance of Europe. Unlike Humanities 101, the SCA was active learning. You learn by doing, not watching, and just about anything that was done in the Middle Ages was done by someone in the SCA. Here on campus, the Freehold offered activities in dance, costuming, music feasts, heraldry, calligraphy, martial arts (heavy fighting, rapier, archery), and many other crafts and activities. As a group, they sponsored a number of events, including the annual Mom’s Weekend Demonstration,-which highlighted our crafts, our fighting and dancing skills, and the pageantry of the Middle Ages. The demo was held in the MU quad on the Saturday of Mom's Weekend each year. In January of 2000, we hosted Winter Nights: An Evening of Living History in the MU Ballroom. Winter Nights was a four course feast with entertainment, and was open to the public.

The club was fortunate to have Professor Boris W. Becker, College of Business, volunteer as faculty advisor. The club welcomed interesting speakers, from respected companies, to the meetings to inform club members about potential job opportunities. These speakers represented organizations such as Meier and Frank, E. J. Gallo, Abercrombie Fitch, Portland Rose Garden, Adidas, and Eddie Bauer The club meetings were useful ways to find out what a certain job might entail, along with helping evaluate what opportunities exist for marketing students. Aside from meetings, the club engaged in field trips, lunches with faculty., and the General Motors Marketing Internship program (GMMl). The GMMI program allowed students to get together and develop a marketing plan to promote a General Motors dealership, primarily through a major on-campus event. The Marketing Club also reached out to the community by having fundraisers in support of Community Outreach; in the past, the club has also held 5k races during the GMMI event to raise money for this organization.

The primary goal of the Range Natural Resources Club was to bring students together in an academic and social combination of opportunities in order to provide exposure to and interactions with past, current, and future land and natural resources management professionals. These opportunities allowed students to gain a full understanding of employment possibilities in their chosen field of study and fine tune individual personal goals. The Range Natural Resources Clubs primary activity was attendance at the Society for Range Management Annual Meeting. At these meetings, students competed in inner collegiate student competitions with other university's from the US, Canada, and Mexico. At the 2000 meeting in Boise, Idaho, the OSU Range Natural Resources Club was awarded first place in the student display competition. Other events that the Range Natural Resources Club took part in was participation in AG Days, the annual Rangeland Resources Department picnic, and the annual student camping trip over Memorial Day weekend.

The members were a close group of students who selected the Turf and Landscape Management option in the Horticulture major. The purposes of this club included providing opportunities to meet with turfgrass professionals, assisting with employment, increase student activity in regional and national associations, and enhance OSU’s reputation as a national leader in the turf industry. Most of the students enjoyed the game of golf and wanted to become golf course superintendents. The Turfgrass Club was open to any students who felt they would fit in this category. The Turfgrass Club tried to merge these two activities, golf course maintenance and golfing, into various activities such as traveling to regional and national conferences, raising funds for the club by maintaining the Lewis-Brown Horticulture Farm and the CH2M hill Alumni Center, refurbishing the Children's Course (Gladstone, Oregon) in the spring, learning how to operate equipment, and gaining camaraderie with other members through golf outings and other club activities.

We bring balance and a sense of community usins knowledge and creativity while striving to realize true human-worth. We continue to grow and achieve self-actualization while never forgetting fun and enjoyment. The Associated Students of Oregon State University (ASOSU) was the officially recognized student government of Oregon State University. The mission of ASOSU was to represent OSU students in issues that affect the quality of their education at all levels: campus, community, state, and federal. Oregon State University students had the opportunity to play an active role in the university student government structure. The ASOSU staff was composed of legislative, executive, and judicial branches of elected and appointed student government officials. The legislative branch was composed of the graduate and undergraduate senates. Student senators were elected within their academic college every winter term. The executive branch consisted of the President, Vice President, and their executive staff. The executive staff consisted of the senate chairs (undergraduate and graduate), the executive directors, and the service of the task force directors. The ASOSU judiciary branch heard cases regarding disputes over the context of the ASOSU constitution. The staff worked hard to improve life at OSU through ASOSU's many outstanding achievements, events, programs, and services. ASOSU was constantly seeking volunteers and leaders. The opportunities for involvement were unlimited. There were positions that fit nearly everyone's interest. There was something for everyone at ASOSU.

Proof of all the hard work done over the academic year came durins sprins term when the newspaper won 29 individual awards from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Assoctation--highest number of any college in Oregon.The Barometer surprised the campus dunng the fall term by running four-color photos five days per week on page one. Some issues had color on inside pages. In general, the campus was appreciative of the new look of the Barometer. Fall term at the Barometer was capped with excitement of a winning football season and a trip to a bowl game for five lucky staffers. The Barometer put out a special ’bowl issue' at the start of winter term. But news of the new coach Dennis Erickson and football in general kept reader interest high all term. Editorial staff of the Barometer was bolstered during the year by a huge crop of new reporters. The news pages of the Barometer were filled to more stories about the OSU community as well as Corvallis and the area. Students were rewarded at the end of the year by nabbing many prestigious summer intemships-more than any summer in the past decade. Students were headed to the Bend Bulletin, Yakima Herald, Albany Democrat-Herald, The Corvallis Gazette Times, and the McMinville News Register. It was an exciting year for the Barometer Business Staff. Hard work, motivation, and a little fun all paid off for an unique OSU experience. The Super Star Ad-Reps consisted of Bree Hockema, Dyann Hogue, Brian Donne, Christine Miller, Trevor Baldwin, and Neal Kemer. (Honorable mention to fall term sensation Mike lauer.) These were the people students had to thank for the Daily Barometer. Without them, their effort to consistently sell advertisements which provide The Barometer with the funding it needed, none of this would have been possible. Needless to say. The Barometer had an interesting year but we consistently looked to improve, to listen to the community, and learn from our mistakes and triumphs. We were a wholly student run paper, and we continued to be proud of that. We were the voice of the campus and extended OSU community.

Yep, and that radio station is KBVR FM, 88.7 on your radio dial. That's right, for over thirty years OSU students have been manning the airwaves and spinning out all kinds of music. From classical to the Clash, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Funk, Ska, Hip-Hop and any other musical genre you could imagine. KBVR prides itself in providing the campus as well as the entire city of Corvallis with an alternative to the constant banter and recycled Top 40 hits of the more popular commercial stations. Plus, with 340 watts of hip-shaking power and a forty-mile listening radius, KBVR is one of the most powerful college radio stations in the nation. Now that you know a little more about us, you're probably wondering what it takes to be involved and to have a show of your very own. Much like the skilled artisans of the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, every prospective Disk Jockey must go through an Apprentice program with a more seasoned Mentor DJ. The Mentor DJ as well as a series of classes taught by the KBVR staff will mold the young apprentice into a skilled radio announcer with the technical know-how and confidence necessary for the stressful rigors of a live radio broadcast. During the year students involved with KBVR attended the College Music Journal Conference in New York, as well as live broadcasts at a variety of OSU events. The DJ’s at KBVR represented one of the most diverse collection of students you would ever find. If you were looking for music that you couldn’t hear anywhere else, 88.7 FM KBVR Corvallis, was the station for you. Where else could you find shows dedicated to Russian Dance and Japanese music. Not only did KBVR provide a wide variety of shows, for the first time in several years, the station is broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So whenever you wanted to hear great music, KBVR was there to help satisfy your musical needs. All students were welcome to get involved with KBVR, no matter what your major, background, or musical preference. There was always room for everyone.

Photo By KBVR.FM KBVR-TV I KBVR-TV laid the framework for some very exciting changes during the past year. Along with purchasing much needed new equipment, the studios also revamped in many ways. With our Sony ES-7 professional editing system, opportunities previously unavailable to students suddenly became reality. A new field camera was also purchased for the digital format. Alumni of KBVR include anchors of state and regional newscasts, and of course the Playboy 2000 Playmate of the Year, Jodi Ann Paterson. Along with new equipment a few new events for KBVR occurred. We aired two live women's basketball broadcasts complete with our play-by-play and color commentators. With the help of three former KBVR-TV Station Managers, both were a success. Another event KBVR hosted was a forum on Race Relations which took place in the spring of '99. Panelists included: President Paul Risser and his wife Les, Ujima minority education director Paul James, members of OSU's fraternity system, and students with the goal of promoting multicultural viewpoints in our community. KBVR's portable production unit, affectionately known as The Silver Twinkie, saw much more action than in the past as a result of the Race Relations and Basketball broadcasts. KBVR-TV was broadcast on cable access channel 99 and could be seen from 7pm to midnight, Monday through Thursday. KBVR-TV was run by students and each original show seen on the station was student produced. The students involved had diverse backgrounds and came from a wide range of academic colleges at OSU. Any student, in any major, could be involved with KBVR-TV. All you needed was a desire to get involved in a fun activity. From there you could be in front of the camera, behind the scenes, or create your own show, whatever you wanted. With the help of well over 60 staff, crew, and faculty, KBVR had one of its best years, making for a fun and educational environment. With new equipment, new people, and new ideas, KBVR should only get better in the years to come. The faces you see on the KBVR today will be the leaders of media tomorrow. All of this being a formal way of saying, We are the bomb! Story By KBVR-TV David Hcgo. a post baccalaureate student in Liberal Arts, preps himself for the next KBVR shooting.

The NROTC boasted the largest ROTC membership on campus with over 100 midshipmen and officer candidates based in its own building, the Naval Armory. The mission of the NROTC Unit at Oregon State University was to develop midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically, and in doing so, to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty. The OSU NROTC provided graduates who are dedicated to the Naval Service and had potential for future development in mind, and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government Story by NROTC Billy Scott.

The council also worked to help the students in the College of Agricultural Sciences get involved and make their college years memorable. Representatives from each of the college's 24 clubs combined at bimonthly meetings and discussed pertinent issues in the college. As well as club activities, the council sponsored many all college activities. These included the Spring Industry Tour ,the Fall Kickoff Barbecue for incoming students, and Ag Day in the quad. Ag Day was a day held in the Quad, in which each of the clubs came out to show what their club was about. It was a lot of fun, with a barbeque, a mechanical bull, and all of the booths put together by the clubs. At some booths, such as the poultry club, you could leam about raising poultry, as well as holding a baby chick. The Turf club offered a putting green, and the fisheries and wildlife club taught people how to fly fish. It was a fun, interactive day where all Oregon State University students could leam more about agriculture.

Known as ’El Centro' or 'CCCC for short, it was a place where people from all back-Srounds came and met our regular visitors. Our regular visitors consisted of people from various backgrounds within the Latino Chicano Hispano community. We had students that were either descendants of or were bom in various countries such as: El Salvador, Chile, Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, Guatemala, Espana, and other various countries. To our visitors we offered a place where you could study, watch your favorite show on UNIVSION or any other cable channel, met up with your friends and hung out or attended events. If you lived in a dorm we had a kitchen where you could come and cook a meal. Student organizations as well as other departments on campus were free to come and reserve the centra. All the events that the cultural center hosted were free to the public. Our center was responsible for hosting at least 6 events each term. Our events were themed to be either, educational, social or cultural. It was up to the Community Outreach Coordinator and the Activities Coordinator to come up with events every year. Severn Durand.

The best of the best were published in one of two annual editions (winter and spring). As for the content, there were no requirements. If it could be saved on a disk, scanned, or captured by a photograph, then it was eligible. All realms of artistic experimentation were welcome to submit and all submissions were judged anonymously by all the judges. The submissions were then scored in four categories: organization, content, ability to provoke a personal reaction, and creativity. The content of Prism varied by publication depending on submissions that were received. Submissions were welcome anytime of the year and stored until the next Prism judging.

The purpose was to promote women in agriculture while striving for excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service. Sigma Alpha was founded nationally at Ohio State University in 1978 and has been at Oregon State since 1991. Through fall 1999 rush the chapter grew to 46 members. Each year the group grew with girls from a diverse range of majors. The members of Sigma Alpha had a profound interest in all facets of agriculture, even though some did not have an agricultural related major. Sigma Alpha members were involved with numerous clubs, activities, and community service on and off campus. In the Spring of 2000 the Xi chapter had our first opportunity to hold the Annual Western Regionals Conference on campus. OSU welcomed girls from Arizona and California chapters to spend the weekend.

These needs were simply worded-our opportunity to influence our community through singing. Music had the power to touch lives- both those who were singing and those who were listening. It was a powerful message to see the OSU Chamber Choir break forth into sound knowing that its membership consisted of a diverse population of races, beliefs, and academic disciplines. Perhaps it was a model for the possibilities of diversity working toward harmony. While such an experience was a dynamic one of those involved, it may have been of even greater importance to our community at large. A message of working together in a world that was increasingly growing apart. The Oregon State Chamber Choir was the premier choral ensemble at OSU and was open to all university students, regardless of academic discipline. Musical standards were of the highest level and expected student commitment was very high throughout the term and members participated in tours and outreach projects throughout the state.

Our most notable event during the 1999-2000 year was the OSU Junior Leadership Day, which brought Oregon high school junior leaders to campus for a full day and recognized their achievements and introduced them to OSU. This was completely organized and coordinated by Cardinal Honor's members. We spent much of the fall preparing for our annual fundraiser, which was the sale of Civil war buttons. The money raised was spent towards the leadership day as well as other activities. Selection into the group was based on a GPA greater than 3.0 and an exceptional record of service.

It also promoted greater public awareness and appreciation of the poultry industry. The club members sold turkeys every Thanksgiving and raised money to travel to the Pacific Egg and Poultry Association annual conference where they met industry representatives, developed contacts that could become future employers, and enjoyed a few days of vacation. Club members also worked closely with local FFA chapters and 4-H clubs. During the 1999-2000 year the Poultry Science Club participated in the Pacific Egg and Poultry Association’s annual conference held in San Diego, California. Several of the students gave presentations on topics ranging from genetics to poultry diseases. While at the conference, students were able to meet poultry industry representatives, and enjoyed many PEPA-sponsored activities such as a Mardi Gras celebration. Several of the students were awarded $2000 scholarships for the 2000-2001 school year. Story by the Poultry Science Club 346 • organizations Back row. left to right: Kyla Ryan. Darcy Wiese.

However, when director Lewis Norfleet took over as the band director the system changed to include not only a director but group subdirectors as well. Anyone who was interested in becoming a member of the OSU Marching band was welcome to participate. Students received two credits for participating in the band, and practice six hours per week. There were no official tryouts for the percussion or wind section of the group. The Marching band was not only an activity for on-campus events, since the band had the opportunity to travel to the O ahu Bowl with the OSU football team. The band members also traveled from California to Seattle, alternating every other year. There was no specific number of minimum members for to form a marching band. During the year there were 140 members at Oregon State, but Norfleet said Oregon State has had as few as 35 members in the past.

The OSU Marching Band had the addition of a color guard for the 1999-2000 school year. This was the first year OSU students had the opportunity to perform with a color guard. It has become a growing activity across the country and for the first time color guard performers had the chance to continue performing with the marching band throughout their college years here at OSU. Many may think of color guard as a flag team, drill team, or even as majorettes, but the activity has grown into more than just white boots with tassels. As marching band has developed into a more artistic and theatrical venue, so has the marching band's color guard. While the marching band performed the music, the color guard performed the visual interpretation of the music through dance and choreographed flag work. Twelve students performed with the color guard in the fall and eleven more performed with the winter guard program. Led by Band Director Lewis Norfleet and student captain Kristina LeVelle, the OSU Color Guard was successful and will continue to be at OSU.

About 65 students participated in the band, which was the second largest band at OSU, which focused primarily on students majoring outside of music. The banci was directed by Lewis Norfleet, who was director of all athletic bands on campus. The Concert band had typically three to four performances a year on the OSU campus. All students were accepted into the band, and then there were auditions to assign parts. ‘The Concert band is a group for people who want to continue playing music while being an engineering or science major,' said Norfleet. The students in the band met once a week for a two hour rehearsal. Most of the musicians do not take private lessons outside of class. I don't know about anyone else but I usually spend about three hours practicing outside of class,' said Brooke Chamberlain, a senior in her second year as a band member. The band provided an outlet for those seeking ways to express their music. 'I really enjoy it,' said Chamberlain. Story By Chnstina Piluso t ■n The OSU Sound Machine was an elite group of twelve musicians. The group performed music from almost every popular genre of music (swing, rock, ska, alternative, funk, disco and oldies). Some of the arrangements were written by members of the group. All members were students at Oregon State University. While many of the students were music majors, the group represented many colleges and departments throughout the university. The group stayed very busy throughout the entire year with various performances and concerts. Besides being members of the Oregon State University Marching and Basketball bands, the members of the group performed at volleyball and women's basketball events. The Sound Machine was also working on a recording project with the other university athletic bands which would be available sometime during the 2000-2001 school year.

The OSU-Corvallis Symphony Orchestra started in 1906 as a student orchestra. To increase the orchestra's artistic quality, professional players were added in the 1980’s. During the 1999-00 year, the orchestra had about 90-100 members, with equal participation among students, professionals and community volunteers. It was the only professional-level symphonic orchestra in the mid-Willamette Valley. The regular season for the orchestra started in October and concluded at the end of May. Three to four symphonic concerts were presented as the main series each season with an additional two or three special concerts and recitals with guest performers. The concerts usually consisted of standard orchestra repertoire with a representation of less well-known and contemporary works. The highlight of the year was the Holiday Concert in December where the orchestra performed with the OSU Holiday Concert Choir. _________________Story By Jane Lee At the OSU-Corvallis Symphony Fall Concert pianist Alexander Tutunov performed pieces from Prokofiev and Mahler. Pt 0«O By John Ohon 356 • performing arts t Similar to the symphony orchestra, the OSU Symphonic Band was started around 1905 as a student band and continued throughout the years to become one of the best college concert bands in Oregon. All members of the Symphonic Band were OSU students who went through rigorous auditions. The Symphonic Band is the top concert band at the university. Only 40 students out of the 130 who auditioned get in each year, Lewis Norfleet, Associate Director of Bands, said. The band rehearsed four hours a week and performed two to three times during winter and spring terms. Each year in May the band also represented OSU in the OSAA State Band Contest. During their concerts the band performed a symphonic wind band repertoire, with music from composers of the twentieth century. The band has also toured around the Northwest and even abroad to places such as Japan, Costa Rica and Taiwan.

Eventually, the group grew to 35 members representing academic disciplines from throughout the campus. The group was conducted by Dr. Steven M. Zielke, the Director of Choral Studies at the Music Department. In addition to performances each term, they also provided music for the campus events in the admissions and athletic departments and participated in the performance of Carl Orff’s masterwork Carmina Burana.

This comedy mixes farce and pathos satirizes many of Erdman's contemporaries while at the same time statins strongly that life is worth living. The play focuses on the tribulations of Semyon Semyonovich Podsekalnikov, who is unemployed and must depend on his wife's meagre wage for a livelihood. She mis-takingly gets the idea that he is going to commit suicide and turns to her neighbor for help. He in turn spreads the word of Semyon’s suicide and a parade of supplicants arrives, each urging Semyon to shoot himself on behalf of a specific cause. The crowd includes an intellectual, a writer, a priest, a butcher, a Marxist, a femme fatale,' and her rival. The cast consisted of twenty-nine actors. Their level of experience varied quite widely, but with many hours of hard work and a strong group spirit, they all gave a fine performance. Rehearsals began in mid-October and continued until opening on the last weekend in January. Clearly, taking part in a main stage show is a huge commitment of time and effort, but the cast felt it was well worth it. Story By Vreneli Farther In the production of The Suicide.

Could it really be over already? It seems like yesterday that I started my first book and now the second one is done and it’s time to move on. Who would have thought that I would have survived this standing, and with a smile even? The first people that I have to thank are the amazing staff that put in some long, and interesting hours to get this book done early!!! You guys never ceased to amaze me. Aside from a few stressful moments in time, the year was a great one. You pulled through when it mattered and didn't leave me stranded. To Elizabeth, good luck on your book in 2001 and I to have fun!!!! You are going to do a great job and I can't wait to see it. To Jen, thanks for getting the book off to a great start during Fall and Winter terms. The foundation you laid helped us throughout the year. To Casey, thanks for stepping blindly into this Spring term. You not only turned out to be a great Business Manager, but a photographer, Photoshop expert, and good friend. Thanks for everything and good luck in grad school. To Natalie, how’ve you been? I missed our daily, sometimes hourly, fieldtrips this year. How dare you leave me here without you!:-) To Frank, Lois, and Kami, thanks for always being there for whatever little problems arose, and they always did! Well, Frank you managed to survive working with me for two years, I hope I wasn’t too unbearable, think you can take one more?? To my family and friends, thanks for listening to me whine and complain about whatever might have been happening at the time. Mom and Dad, thanks for supporting me through these last couple years as I encountered each obstacle. Jim, thank you for giving an ear and sometimes a shoulder. Kara and Kelley, thank you both for ripping me out of the office and getting me out of here when I needed a break and wouldn't admit it. I know it had to have been hard to reason with a hermit a lot of the time. I guess I'm outta here! It has been two truly amazing and stressful years, but I wouldn't give them up for anything! look forward to being your Business Manager.
