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. Story by Enn Durdel civil war • 15

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.
