As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent. -Arnold Schwarzenegger i4� student life Football games are full of fun and excitement especially when the Beavers are winning their Homecoming game. Here, Dwan Edwards works with his teammates to tackle a wildcat. Photo by Jeremy Scholz Homecoming is defined as a return to one s home or an annual event held by a university for visiting alumni. Throughout the 2003 Homecoming week various events were held to commemorate this exciting event for avid Beaver fans. People traveled from near and far to support their favorite team. Some were alumni and others were strong supporters. No matter the shape, si e or color Beaver fans joined together to fill Rescr Stadium to welcome back a victorious team. The week was kicked olT with a bang as living groups on campus decorated their liv ing quarters orange and black. There were football fields everywhere as the dorms and the greek houses competed for the coveted Homecoming trophy. Along with the spirit points that were awarded for the most decorated house, there was also a tug-of-war. The final round was held at halftime of the football game. There was also the yell like hell. which brought students together the night before the big game. Students walked or ran together to the parking lot of Rescr Stadium where a huge bonfire took place. The captains and coaches of the football team spent time speaking about their plans for the triumph over the Arizona Wildcats. They ended the bonfire by burning a stuffed wildcat to show what they were going to do to the team. The Beavers came out victorious with a score of 52-23. Once again, a wonderful and exciting Homecoming game for Beaver players and Beaver fans. Along with football, the Men s Soccer team also had a victorious Homecoming weekend. They played California at the Beaver Nation and brought home a victory of 3-1. All in all. it was a very proud weekend for the Beaver fans, one which will Ik remembered for years to come.

Photo by Jacob Perry «!� • ft rtat • n i Dad. Father. Papa. Daddy. Pops. Old man. They may be called by a variety of names and come in all shapes and sizes, but on the w eekend of October 17-19. they flocked to Oregon State University for Dad’s Weekend 2003. A Golf Tournament kicked off the weekend on Friday afternoon. Dads could enjoy time with their offspring on Friday doing any number of things. The Casino Buffet offered food, gaming, and prizes. Later that night, students and their fathers could work off all that food w ith laughter. Jay Lcno gave a comedy show in Gill Coliseum, allowing the audience to sit back and laugh their socks off. Back in the Memorial Union, the original version of Ocean’s 11 was shown twice a night on both Friday and Saturday nights. For those who cared to brave the river. Saturday saw some students drag their dads (or was the other way around?) to the Dad’s Weekend rafting trip. And for those who preferred to stay inside, the Memorial Union Recreation Center hosted an eight-ball tournament as well as a bowling tournament. Outside in the Quad, the annual Oregon’s Strongest Beaver contest was held. Also in the Quad, students and dads could get root beer floats, participate in the Dad I look-alike contest, get food, listen to music, join in on the “Who’s Your Daddy” game show, or buy some of many souvenirs of the weekend. Going back inside the Memorial Union, fathers and children could relax and get an upper back massage or show their silly sides in a Dad I photo. And as the most important activity of any fall Saturday at Oregon State, the Beaver football game could be watched, not only at Reser Stadium, but also on a big screen tv in the Memorial Union Commons. After such an event-filled Saturday, Sunday morning’s Beaver Brunch with Dad seemed quite tame. There were some highly competitive BINGO (known at Oregon State as BEAVS) games, but those who left w ith prizes seemed quite content with their rewards. Throughout the weekend various buildings, such as Dixon Recreation Center and the C raft Center, were open for the visiting fathers to enjoy (as long as they were accompanied by a student). In just one weekend many of the visiting dads got the opportunity to see and experience much of w hat their students experience w hile attending here at Oregon State. Many students got to enjoy their dad’s company for a weekend as well as experiencing the sometimes rare treat of being spoiled by a loving father.

Photos by Jeremy Scholz and Michael Benda The feathers flew and a battle raged in the Memorial Union Quad as 766 students and faculty attempted to swing their way into the Guiness Book of World Records. It started as a class project. In Small Group Problem Solv ing. Lige Armstrong. Erin Givens. Heather Huff, Amec Samuelsen. Margaret Swank, and Hilary Wilcox took their project even further. After weeks of planning and advertising, they set out to guide OSU to infamy on November 14. 2003. The last record set for largest pillow fight was in June at the Anderson County Courthouse Square in Gannet, Kansas. That fight drew 645 people. With 766 fighting students, the bring-your-ovvn-pillovv event was fun, light hearted and only a little bit violent. As the crowd waited to start, pillow-less bystanders rushed the MU lounge for couch cushions so they could join in. Then, just before I pm. the fighting commenced. The Quad was a mass of people and pillows. It was like my fantasy...except there were guys, said Elliott Weed a fighter in the event. To be official, the fight had to last sixty seconds, but that wasn't a problem for most. After getting pumped up for the fight for nearly an hour, the crowd cut loose and the battle raged on for several minutes. By the time it was over, the Quad was left with trampled sweaters and pillowcases, and more than a few pillows were deemed unusable. The record was sent to Guiness offices in London, but has yet to be confirmed. In any ease. OSU saw its sixty (or more) seconds of fame.

Photos by Jacob Perry What do a birthday party, a candlelight procession, education and peace have in common? All were a pari of this year’s January 12-23 Martin Luther King celebration. Sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and various student organizations, this year the OSU community commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s life with a week-long celebration. This year's theme was Building the Dream: Reaching each Other, Teaching Kach Other. Students were asked to sign a pledge showing their support for nonv iolent social change, equality, justice, freedom and peace. The week started off with a birthday party at the Black Cultural Center on January loth. Other events included a dance at Club Escape, a bone marrow drive in the MU. a childrens’ celebration,a community service fair and numerous lectures, movies and discussions on various topics. Most of these events were open to the OSU student body as well as to the Corvallis community. Some of the movies shown in the MU lounge addressed such issues as race, gender and class. Participants were asked to come with an open mind and to broaden their horizons. One of the most well known events was the 22nd Annual Peace Breakfast, held on January liJth. Later on, a candlelight procession was held in the Memorial Union quad, followed by a discussion. Students, faculty and staff came together this year to celebrate the life and achievements of a famous man. Martin Luther King's dream of a world without boundaries became perhaps one step closer to becoming a reality on OSU’s campus this year.

Brody Lowe, founder of the group, and Matt Slaugher play guitar and Stephen Down is the drummer. Photos by Tina Buescher Being bored on a Friday or Saturday night was not an option this year OSU students and Corvallis community members. There seemed to always be a local or soloist playing at one of the bars or restaurants in Corvallis. OSl’ also offered events this year to get local artists heard on and around campus. If anyone wanted to get a taste of the local music scene, all they had to do was tune OSU's own television or radio station. KBVR, and listen to the weekly Locals Live show, which showcased local talent. One local group. Civilian, has five members: one of whom is a senior at OSU and another who is an alumni. Guitarists Geoff Moser and Brandy Greig. drummer Klias Nolde. and bassist Jeff Schmid have played at local places around Corvallis and are working on producing their first Cl), file band has twelve original songs thus far and is always happy to book a gig. Brodylowe is another local band that could often be seen at Bombs Away Cafe. Brody I .owe, an OSU graphic design major, founded the music group. Matt Slaugher is the guitarist and Stephen Down is the drummer. The group is coming out with a nine-song Cl) and are continuously practicing and working on new songs. Another local group who gained their popularity and recognition through house parties, is the group Overtones. The band members all moved in together and started the group. Kver since they played at their Halloween house party. Overtones has been booked up. No matter what their music taste. OSU students and community residents were sure to find a new favorite band in Corvallis. Thanks to KBVR and their production of Ixnrals Live, many students and community members were given the opportunity to hear these local bands as they gained |x pularity.

Whether studying, relaxing, or just getting away from it all, everyone has a favorite place to be outside of class. Photos by Lea McVcy Freshman to graduate, every student at OSU found a place to hang out. Some studied while others s| ent time with their friends. No matter what the reason, one thing was certain: just as the student Ixxly of Oregon State is diverse, so were the places they chose to hang out. There were places right on campus to study, eat. talk or just hang out in. One of the most popular places was the Ml' quad. On a sunny day it was full of students playing frisbee or reading and enjoying the fresh air. As the weather changed, most jx-ople moved inside where they could enjoy the warm, comfortable atmosphere. There were |x ople everywhere in the MU. They were relaxing on couches or using the free computer access in the student lounge. All year, the Ml' and the MU quad bustled with |x-opIe. After the sun went down many students look some time tor themselves away from the classroom and the stresses of student life-. Students could Ik- found in the bars around Corvallis. There were a great many to choose from, both close to campus and downtown. Near campus there were Clod’s and Tailgater’s. while downtown there were Headline, Peacock, AJ’s. Cantina, Fox Firkin, and Squirrel's. These places are home to bands, mouth-watering food. wild drinks, and lots ot fun. These locations were enjoyed by many, especially on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. When students needed a little energy boost, or a place to study in the wee hours of the morning, many headed to one of the various cafes and colfee shops around campus. These hangouts, such as John Henry's and Bombs Away Cafe, were notorious for providing a welcoming and enticing atmosphere for everyone. Students and faculty alike used their free time to find places that they felt comfortable in. Regardless of who you are or what you do tor fun. Corvallis had an option for everyone. Story by Colleen Moran student hangouts 27 Do not go gentle into that good night. -Dylan Thomas 28‘Student life The 2003-2004 school year at OSU will be remembered for all of the major changes to the campus. Everywhere students and faculty look, there is construction going on. While Weatherford Hall gets a much needed face-lift, the new Kelley Engineering Center takes shape on the other side of campus. The look of the campus is changing as OSU grows by leaps and bounds. Photos by Michael Benda and Jeremy Scholz It is often said that change is inevitable and nowhere lias this been more obvious than at Oregon State. This school year saw three construction sites take shaj c on campus. While students attended class w ith a background of constant construction noise, the outcome of all that clashing cannot be ignored. This year, one of the oldest buildings on campus got a much-needed renovation. Built in U)2S, Weatherford Hall was remodeled and retrofitted to become the home of the new Austin (Entrepreneurship Program. When it o|H ns in Kail goo k Weatherford w ill not only be a residential hall but a community within a community. Students will be able to live, eat and learn all in the same place thanks to classrooms, a cafe and a library. In addition, the building’s wireless Internet will allow budding entrepreneurs to create new ideas wherever and whenever. The building will not only house students, but visiting professors, industry leaders, and a live-in enterpreneurship professor. Weatherford will become an important meeting place for industry leaders of today and tomorrow. On the other side of campus, many students and faculty members have watched the progress of the Kelley (Engineering Center as it slowly grows from a hole in the ground to a four-story, state-of-the-art building. When the new engineering building opens in Fall iiOQ5, it will provide students and faculty with w ireless classrooms, office clusters and an K-cafe. Not only will the colleges of Klcctrical (Engineering and Computer Science have a new home, they w ill also have a sustainable building, built with green design ideas in mind. The Kelley (Engineering Center will be an energy efficient building that will be a home worthy of w hat OSl s goal is: becoming one of the top i� ' engineering colleges in the nation. No matter where one looked on campus this year, something new was taking shajH . Weatherford Hall, and the Kelley (Engineering Center show how OSU is adapting to future needs.

Students and faculty enjoy showings of traditional dances and songs from all over the world at these events. Photos by Paolo Tomka and Justin Runquist of The Daily Barometer Oregon State University prides itself on having great diversity. One thing that effects many of the students here arc the impact that various cultural clubs have on the campus and the way of life for many students. Students were able to participate in events that took place on the campus throughout the year. Involvement is key. C roups were created to allow individuals to come together and share something that is meaningful to them, their culture and heritage. In these gatherings other students of diverse backgrounds were welcomed to come and learn about other's ways of life. Kach cultural center on campus and other groups have set aside a night, or for some a week, to show what they are all .about. During these gatherings, friends are interacting, new friends are being made, fashion is l eing expressed, both traditional and current, along with enjoying great linxl, dance, and music. All of these events are very fun and interactive for those who choose to participate. The ISOSU Spring festival was held in the Quad during Mom's Weekend. The atmosphere was like that of a fair with cultural groups being represented in booths around the Quad. The theme of the festival was Where the World Unites . The festivities were enjoyed by all those that attended. The Vietnamese Student Association organized their annual Tet Show which illustrated the unique culture and tradition that they have. There was dancing, musical performances, comedy skits, a lion dance and martial arts, all exemplifying the importance of the Vietnamese culture at Oregon State University. Culture is all around us. Whether it is the hula, the Tet Show, or a good old fashioned Native American cookout, we all have so many talents and history to share with everyone. This is especially expressed in the cultural diversity on campus. Story by Melissa Tuttle cultural diversity 31 Philanthropies 32 student life ’One more lap around the MU Quad!' Walkers join in for Relay for Life to raise funds for cancer research. Photos by Lea McVcy Every year the students of Oregon State University participate in various on and off campus philanthropy events. From Greeks to independents money is raised and time is spent to help the less fortunate. The student body gets very involved in each different philanthropy that is held locally. There are events that support hospitals, children, various diseases, the homeless and the hungry. Students find new and interesting ways to get the information out to the community to raise awareness. Every year the Greek community comes together to help out those less fortunate then themselves. They play sports, hold events in the quad and even some create haunted houses. All of the money that these groups collect goes to an organization that is predetermined. The houses choose from thousands of various charities to donate their money to. Along with raising money, the members also share their time. They go to hospitals to visit the sick, or to the blood drive to either volunteer or to participate. They do not do this for recognition, but to raise awareness. and give a little of themselves to help make someone’s life that much better. There are also a great many other groups on campus that are very active in philanthropies. Indoors or outdoors, the students seem to find a way to get involved. One of the most important services that the students provide to the Oregon State community is the blood drive and AIDS awareness. So many lives are saved on a daily basis because of thousands of students and faculty giving up a half hour to donate. Each year the students some up with even more amazing ideas of how to help others. 1 his is a great community that not only care only about themselves but about the health and happiness of everyone.

The indoor climbing facility is a new luxury to the students and another way for students to work out and sweat it out. Pictured here are various students enjoying a good workout around campus. Photos by Jeremy Scholz and Katrina Murphy Come on, one more set. Keep going. Don't forget that swim suit season is coming up. Your legs are starting to jiggle. Whatever your motive is. students find one to participate in various physical activities all over campus. There have been studies done that show that you need at least three half hour sessions of exercise a week to stay healthy. People are doing just that by staying active in all types of weather. They are running, bicycling, or even just walking. Kacli of these is a great way to make you feel so much better. With the new rooms and gyms oj en at Dixon, more and more students are taking advantage of the great opportunities. They are able to work out and watch their favorite TV show, sw im laps in the cool water of the pool. or play a little one on one with their best friends. Regardless of the activity, all of these students are getting exercise. They are getting in shape and prolonging their life. Along w ith the other major improvements to Dixon, there is now a bigger and better climbing facility. Students are able to climb on their own once they have passed a series of tests. This is a great new way to work some of the muscles that are not normally thought of while trying something new and exciting. Throughout the w hole year, students are also given the opportunity to participate in various IM sports. They are given the choice of everything from volleyball to basketball and soccer to football. No matter what your forte, there is a team out there for you. Oregon State sees the importance of physical activity so various classes are offered to provide just that. With certified instructors to show the right way to | ertbrm a certain technique, students are having fun. earning credits and getting into shape. Students at OSU are finding ways around campus to Sweat It Out.

Photo by Jeremy Scholz, Paolo Tomka, and Kacy Kizer of the Daily Barometer. Beaver spirit is around each and every day. It is obvious and disguised, it is near and far, but mostly it is orange and black. Students on Oregon State’s campus wear orange and black with great pride. No matter the time of year, a true Beaver fan will be able to Ik- recognized. Every different sport, group, or gathering each base their own set of fans. Some come with large O s and yell at the top of their lungs, while others sit quietly and contently in “normal” clothes watching their favorite event. Since OSU is so diverse, this makes the Beaver fans very diverse. Each and everyone has their own special attire. It is a way to supjxn t. gain confidence and wear clothes that the rest of the population will probably never Ik seen in. Along with the dress that is worn by many, there is also the ever presence of noise. Huge air filled sticks are banged together to make a unique sound, along with the screams and yelling of encouragement to a team and frustration to an official. I low could we forget about the bands? They march, sing, bang on drums and much more. Noise is a great way to show support. Voices are Beaver fans claim to fame. It is just another way to show their continued pride. The Beaver fans are unique. They come in all shapes and sizes, from new born infants up to alumni who graduated in 1930. It is this great combination of people that make the Beaver spirit come alive. People come from all over to show their support for a team whether winning or losing, they will always be heroes in the eyes of many.

Pictured on this page, Rita Rudner and Maria Branford rock the house with laughs at the annual comedy show. On Saturday morning, moms enjoy brunch in the MU with their children. And who could forget about the up and coming fashions of OSU students, being debuted in the fashion show located in the MU Ballroom. Photos by Katrina Murphy Paolo Tomka On any other college campus, students might object to the idea of s|K nding an entire weekend with their mother. Not at Oregon State! Once a year moms receive the royal welcome at an event sponsored by the Memorial Union Planning Council. The tradition of a yearly Mom’s Weekend can Ik- traced all the way back to 1924. While some things have changed since then, the memories students made with their moms, or their grandmothers, aunts, or sisters will surely he rememl� cred all year long. The 2004 Mom’s Weekend featured a New York theme that turned the MU Ouad into an urban center. Students and moms alike had no end of activities during the three-day event. With around i.ooo moms on campus this was one of the largest Mom’s Weekends in OSU history. Students and their moms were easy to spot in their I Ix� ve Mom T-shirts. The weekend kicked off with a fashion show in the MU Ballroom. After admiring the lovely fashions, students and their moms had their choice of the various games and activities. One such game was the Yo Mama Game show, where students and their moms were tested on how well they knew each other. If that game was not enough. KBVK-FM hosted a Name That Tune Contest with hit songs from yesteryear. Students could see their family resemblance in the Mom and I Look-Alike contest. Throughout the weekend there were various dinners, brunches and even a wine garden for students and moms to indulge in. One of the highlights of Mom s Weekend was the 6Sth Annual All-University Sing in which Greek houses paired up to delight and entertain with their renditions of popular Broadway show tunes. Whether Mom describes a student's ow n mother, or someone who was like a mother to them, the KOth Annual Mom’s Weekend was a great opportunity for students to have fun. make memories, and most of all. to spend some time with that special someone.

After speeches by President Ray and former astronaut and senator John Glenn, students walked up the stage one by one to recieve their degrees. Photos by Jeremy Schultz Sunday, June 13. 2001 marked the 135th Commencement at Oregon State University. While the very first graduating class consisted of two men and one woman, this year's Commencement set a university record with over k 2 0 students receiving over K3‘20 degrees in subjects ranging from anthropology to zoology. A record number of over ‘2.3(H) students participated in the Commencement ceremonies this year. Although change is inevitable over 135 years, some traditions remain the same. Students still paraded from the MU Quad into Reser stadium to the sound of bagpipes. OSU is also one of the few universities in the nation that still gives its graduates their actual diploma as they walk across the stage. At 9am. the graduate students breathed a sigh of relief as the rain cleared up just in time for their Commencement ceremony. During this ceremony. Sanjaya Rajaram was awarded an honorary doctorate from OSU Rajaram made significant contributions to his field as the former director of the Wheat Research Division of the International Center tor Maize and Wheat Research. At ‘2pm. the undergraduate ceremony under a bright, sunny sky, students listened to former astronaut and senator John H. Glenn, the first Commencement speaker in several years. In 1962, Glenn Inrcame the first human to go into space. His three orbits of Karth lasted tor 5 hours. Following a successful four terms as a US. senator. Glenn became at age 77. the oldest human to go into space on the 1998 flight of the U.S. space shuttle Discovery. At the undergraduate Commencement ceremony. John Glenn received yet another award, this time an honorary doctorate from OSU. Two degrees made their debut at this year's Commencement. The first was the Professional Master's of Science. This degree blended traditional science studies with classes in such courses as business and communications to produce graduates who plan to use their science background in the private sector. The other new degree was the university’s teacher preparation program, a dual degree that students may obtain in addition to their primary undergraduate degree. This education degree aims to bring qualified students into the world of teaching. Rain or shine, no matter what year, one thing remains the same. OSU and its community turn out on one day in June to honor those students who have worked so hard to complete their college degrees. All those long hours of studying, the stress of finals, and the tension of waiting for grades pays off when one walks across that stage and receives their tlegree from OSU. Congratulations!

Dating hack to 1868. when OSU was called the Agricultural College of the State of Oregon, OSU had provided support to the economic development of the state and the Pacific Northwest. The College of Agricultural Sciences is not only the oldest on campus but also, in many ways, is one of the largest and most successful colleges on campus. With $30 million in research grants and contracts annually and more than 300 full-time faculty, the college is thriving. Large numbers of faculty and research dollars are not the only reason the College of Agricultural Sciences holds bragging rights. The college's students and undergraduate programs sport an impressive record of accomplishments as well. The Agricultural Executive Council, the college's student government, provides governance to thirty clubs and garners $25,000 to $30,000 in donated funds each year, allowing students to participate in numerous activities such as out-of-state trips to national meetings of academic associations. 46 •academics Left: Senior Josh Mevencamp, a student worker at the Beef Center, works everyday to keep the cows alive and well.

That is just what the College of Agricultural Science did this year. Attending the event were the ambassadors for Agriculture. Forestry, and Natural Resources, and any student newly interested or joining the program. The Fall Barbecue was held to welcome new members and celebrate the new school year beginning. Everyone there prepared and ate food and participated in fun games. Another fun event sponsored by the College of Agricultural Sciences was the Art About Agriculture Tour for 2(X)4. Artwork submitted and displayed had an agricultural theme with an emphasis on portraying agriculture as a medium that can be easily understood by an audience that may not be familiar with it. Art About Agriculture was the first annual arts competition and tour exhibit with agriculture as the theme. All art there was on exhibit starting in February and on tour from May through August. A few of the many great things to see and experience during Agriculture Day. or Ag Day as it is more commonly referred to as. were live animals, a mechanical bull for those brave enough to try to ride on it. and an exhibit of a variety of farm machinery involved in the production process. Those w ho couldn't satisfy their appetite for know ledge stood a better chance of satisfying their hunger pangs with the barbecue. This was one of the chances for anyone interested in learning more about the college, and those who wanted to share their knowledge and experiences within their own particular area pertaining to Agriculture. The gathering, held in the Memorial Union Quad is an annual event held each spring, and is a great opportunity for everyone to see w hat the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences. Forestry and Natural Resources are all about. This collaboration of ideas, information, and projects included an attendance of over 150 students and faculty and over 25 clubs. Activities in the agricultural sciences are sure to have something for everyone to enjoy. Story by Elizabeth L.

For more than 2250 undergraduates. 80 MBA students and 440 business minors, the sky is the limit. With a focus on entrepreneurship, technology, business sustainability and the global economy throughout the curriculum, College of Business students have a solid launching pad for their careers. Following their studies in accounting, finance, general business, international business, management, management information systems, and marketing management. recent grads are working for Boeing. Frito Lay, Frcightliner. Gallo, KPMG and others. To help students get ready for these careers the College of Business also encouraged “experiential learning” to complement the academic program. More students participated in the College’s expanding international business exchange program. MBA teams partnered with businesses to develop business plans and growth strategies. Several students also teamed with for-profit and nonprofit communities with research projects. With the 100 year centennial approaching in 2008. faculty, alumni, donors, corporate partners and students continue to play a pivotal role in expanding the College of Business as a resource for business education.

The College of Business partnered up with University Housing and Dining in the creation of OSU s first residential college at Weatherford Hall. The College of Business also partnered with the College of Engineering in the creation of the entrepreneurship minor. Students from any discipline with an interest in entrepreneurship, can live in Weatherford. Weatherford Hall is a historic landmark on the OSU campus. The new renovation maintains its historical integrity, but includes distinctive elements such as incubator rooms, a cyber cafe, an entrepreneurship library, case rooms, conference rooms, faculty and executive suites, and more. It will enable students to live and breathe entrepreneurship 24 7 both formally and informally. The Austin Entrepreneurship Program was started by the College of Business to focus on entrepreneurship education and is dedicated to incubating, testing and launching new companies founded by students and faculty. A key component of the Austin Entrepreneurship Program is the residential college at Weatherford Hall, where students from a variety of disciplines can live and learn there, share ideas with visiting professionals and live-in faculty, and come up with the businesses of tomorrow. In addition, the program will help OSU's research and spur economic growth in the region. This project is supported by the Entrepreneurship Club, which is an integral part of it, and the club is more than 50 members strong. Students from a variety of disciplines participate in the club which hosts guest speakers each month. The College of Business has raised more than S4.7 million for the Austin Entrepreneurship Program. This, combined with S680.000 left to raise by June, will complete Phase I: the renovation of Weatherford Hall. The College of Business will then raise money for world-class entrepreneurship programming during its Phase 2 development elTorts. The Weatherford Hall renovation will be completed in September 2004 in time for students’ return to campus. Story by Elizabeth L.

In ‘2001 the School of Hducation was reestablished at OSU. signaling a new emphasis on teacher and counselor preparation for Oregon. 1 his year, the Hducation Mall became the first building on campus to be 100% w ireless. The 101 year-old building also received a new coat of paint inside. 1 listory was made w hen the State Board of Hducation granted approval for the nexv School of Hducation to offer an Undergraduate Hducation Double Degree that allows students to concurrently earn two degrees, one in education and one in the other field of their choice. This is the only education double degree offered in the Pacific Northwest. Another exciting option that came to the School of Hducation is the option for a completely online master s degree. The next' School of Hducation prepares a diverse group of teachers, counselors and educational leaders. While only I 2% of total graduate students at Oregon State called the School of Hducation 'home', the percentage of minority students in education programs is impressive - H% of OSU’s Black graduate students. 31% of OSl s Hispanic graduate students, and 23% of OSf's American Indian graduate students are in School of Hducation Programs. A series of symposia hosted by the etc School of Hducation over the last few years has included topics of school size, teaching and learning in a w ireless world, professional and technical education, and teacher burnout. These forums have brought educators, business leaders and students together for valuable conversations. 54 •academics Story by Ashley Maier Below: A graduate student, working on her internship, reads to a child during a one on one session.

Projects included the students campaigning for a school bond measure to improve schools, refurbishing a classroom, and providing free “fun days for local kids. I-ast year this group gathered together anti dedicated a Saturday to refurbishing a classroom. LAPS spent their Saturday sprucing up a classroom at Lincoln School in Corvallis, doing everything from painting walls and cabinets to just making the classroom a brighter and more interesting learning atmosphere. The fun days” are a way to replace a school day that has ! ecn cut from the school year because of budget cuts. The Friday Fun Day” w as a great success, bringing children together in a positive atmosphere for a day of fun without their parents having to worry about what their kids are up to on a day without school. It also gave the LAFS team a great day to have fun with kids and IhhuI with the kids that they are working so hard to protect from more budget cuts.

You guessed it. land mine retrieving devices! On I hursday December K 2003 engineering students came together to test their dev ices, with a range of designs, using only a remote control to guide their machines. They manipulated their machines over a simulated mine field to retrieve six land mines in a matter of three minutes and delivered them hack to a waiting receptacle so they could he safely detonated. AH the participants in the competition are juniors in Mechanical Engineering. There is a class specifically designed to allow these students to work on this project all term. The class is MK .18‘2, and each year it helps the students get ideas and the knowledge to build the machines needed to comj ete in the annual American Society of Mechanical Engineering design contest. This is an excellent example of applying engineering skills to solve real-world problems. commented Christine (� e, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at OSL Every year the American Society of Mechanical Engineering sponsors a design contest to help students understand real world applications of engineering principles. This years land mine clearing idea was in response to the plethora of mine fields in locations such as Afghanistan and Iraq and some 70 other third world countries. These students, with the help of ASME. have the potential to save lives while earning class credit. Other events the College of Engineering hosts include National Engineers Week, in February, to celebrate engineers and the work they do. and the Northwest Transportation Conference.

During the preseason, senior forward Courtney Carter suffered a broken leg in Costa Rica. Carter has been a leader for the team, so playing the season without her was going to lx difficult. They started their season out traveling to San Diego to take on San Diego State. The game started out slow, but during the second half sophomore Brianna Monka scored the only goal of the game. The game was scrappy - both teams were struggling to play on a difficult surface, but I thought our kids did a very good job”, said head coach Steve Fennah. On September 12 the ladies got the opportunity to travel to Winston-Salem. North Carolina to play in the Adidas Tournament.

Tessa Baker came away from the game scoring the first goal. At the end of the game, the Beavers came out with a 4-0 win. 'flic ladies continued on to tight for victories. At the Stanford game October 26th, sophomore transfer student Amy Johnson made her first Beaver appearance on the field and earned a shut out. During that game Janelle Joy made the only goal putting Oregon State 1-0. The Beavers continued to play their hardest all season. They came out of the season with a 7-11-2 record.

Tryouts were held in early spring and the young athletes who were trying out had to complete stunts, tumbling, and cheer stations. Women who tried out also had to do a dance routine. The team was very lucky to be coached by Amber Bezates. Bezates had a great background in cheerleading, including being a member of the Blazer stunt team, cheerleading for the Ducks while she was in college, and of course being the head coach at Oregon State tor the fourth year in a row. Nick Danis has been on the squad for two years and is very enthusiastic about the sport and his team. Everyone on the team has such a positive attitude and is willing to work on new skills.” says Nick. Nick believes that everyone on the team adds a different aspect and personality to the group..

As a team, you have to buckle down and finish strong.” The team has had their ups and downs this year, but in the end, they buckled down and had a solid finish. They competed in playoffs and in the Northwest Shootout. On April 28 in Tuscan, Arizona, the OSU Men’s Golf team had an eighth place finish in the IPac-10 Championships. This year’s team consisted of eight members. Sean Duncan was the only senior and the team captain. Brian Watts returned for his third year as head coach. One of the highlights of this season was the first-ever Northwest Shootout. The 36-hole event was hosted by OSU. UCLA, and Washington. This tournament was held at the Crosswater course in Sunriver, Oregon on May 3. Crosswater is one of the top courses in the United States. Although this was the tournament’s inaugural year, it was a successful showing for senior Sean Duncan. In his last competition as an OSU golfer, Duncan gave it his all for the entire day. In the end, he finished 2-under-par TO for a second place finish overall. The season's highlights did not stop with the Northwest Shootout. On May 11, the team competed in a six-man playoff at the Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis. Freshman Ryan Gilmour finished 4-under 68. With this score, Gilmour found himself advancing to sectional qualifying for the US Open in June. From weekly practice at the Trysting Tree Golf Club to intercollegiate tournaments as far away as Hawaii, the men of OSU’s Golf team heed the words of Coach Brian Watts.

Beginning the season at Number 12, these men worked hard all season and advanced to Number 7 in a US Rowing Poll, an all-time high for the OSU team. Today, the Men's Crew consists of two teams. The varsity team has twenty members, while the novice team is seventeen men strong. Most of these incredible athletes had no previous rowing experience before they joined the team. Both teams are lead by head coach Kjell Oswald, himself an accomplished crew member. The teams are also lead by assistant coach Steve Todd. Oswald completed his second season as head coach this year and is pleased with the progress both teams have made. We're taking this one race at a time. We realize that anything can happen on a given weekend, and things change, said Oswald. This year the team faced some tough competitors, but they have taken each and every meet in stride. Their closest finish yet was in early May against Cornell’s team at a New Jersey race. The OSU team l� eat Number S Cornell by one second during a tough race. At the same race OSl' finished six seconds ahead of the Rutgers University team. On May 7. the Men's Crew team hosted a race at Vancouver lake, along with Washington's team. While the University of Washington won, Oregon State's novice team, composed mainly of freshmen, had a great race and finished second. All eyes were on the Pac-10 Championships at Lake Natoma in California on May 26. The top twenty crew teams faced off over the two-thousand meter course. In their best race yet. Oregon State's varsity team pushed hard to pull ahead of Stanford’s team for a third place finish, completing the course in six minutes, 5.7 seconds. After an incredible year, OSU’s Men's Crew team finds themselves savoring their accomplishments. This dedicated team of men continue to work hard as they look forward to the challenges of a new season.

Before many other universities allowed women's sports teams to play on an equal field w ith their male counterparts, OSU’s Women's Crew team had a spot in the Intercollegiate Athletic team lineup. The season began on March t when OSU hosted the University of Victoria at Dexter Reservoir in Eugene. The Victoria team got off to a strong start, but OSU came from behind to pull a surprise victory. The team won four out of the day's five races. On April 3rd. the team headed to the San Diego Classic. The junior varsity and novice eight teams finished first and second in the qualifying rounds for the Grand Finals. The varsity eight crew also did well, placing fifth, w hich allowed them to qualify for the Petite Final. During the Grand Finals, the junior varsity eight placed sixth, while the novice eight placed eighth. The varsity eight went on to place tenth overall in the Petite Final. Although these were not the wins that some hoped for. the team had given their best in the challenging meet. On May 8th the team traveled to Dike Xatoma in Kancho Cordova, California for the Pac-io Conference Women's Bowing Championships. This meet was only the eighteenth championship race for OSU's Women's Crew. The team gave another stellar | erformance and placed fifth overall. The Women's Crew team is proof that achievements do not just happen in the heat of a racing moment. Post-season, the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association named their All-West Regional team honors, as well as the CRCA National Scholar-Athlete awards recipients. OSU’s own Julia White-1 Ioppe was named to the All-West Regional team. Natasha Nemyre and Andrea Pleven also received awards. They were made the CRCA national Scholar-Athlete award recipients.

It was a place where freshman through seniors came together to live in unity, learn about diversity and cooperation, anti encounter a wide variety of situations and people with interesting and differing backgrounds. At Heed, members had the opportunity to partake of a vast array of foods, sleep together on the third floor sleeping porch, study on the ‘24-hour-quiet study porch and hangout in one of nineteen study rooms with their old and new-found friends. It was always a joy to walk through the halls of Reed and be greeted with a friendly smile and some kitid words. Cookies were also a favorite treat among the women of Reed and you could always find at least one person baking away on an almost daily basis with cookie dough at hand. Throughout the year, Reed held many events including a winter term trip to Sunriver for some fun in the snow, a formal dance to show of their moves and soc ials w here they had the opportunity to get to know the other people living in cooperative housing. The house also was involved with a child sponsorship program throughout the year. The creation of house T-shirts made it easy to spot a fellow Reedie walking through campus on a daily basis. Forever, the members of Reed w ill lx filled with wonderful memories of Reed Lodge: the girls they lived w ith, the friends they made and all of their crazy college experiences!

The goal of their brotherhood is to aide the development of men as they make their transition into the real world. This means that lambda Chi is concerned with more than typical community, athletic and social involvement. At Lambda Chi they strive to uphold the standards established in 1909 by their founding father Warren A. Cole. The ideals of Lambda Chi encompass all aspects of personal growth because they are based on Christian ideals. As fifty plus guys from diverse backgrounds labor and live under the same roof, they are instilled with the principles that create their brotherhood. This growth is reflected in the way they carry themselves with character and integrity. At Lambda Chi they strive to treat everyone equally by officially abolishing hazing in 197 2. They continually strive to uphold equality and fair treatment among all associate and full members of Lambda Chi Alpha.

The book is finally fin- ished. after three full terms of balancing classes, meetings and deadlines. This book wouldn't have come together so wonderfully had it not been for the support of many, many people. Thank you to all of the staff members for their hard work. You were all very dedicated, and that is what kept the book going. Thank you Kevin for being such a great listener and problem solver. The website looks great, it will get us off to a great start for next year's book. Frank, Lois, and Kami, thank you for all of your support and advice. Brad, thanks for answering my questions and helping me work out the cover design. Mom. Dad and Jesse, thanks for listening to my yearbook talk and helping me through deadlines. It's because of your great ability to calm me down that none of the computers got thrown out of the window. James, thank you for all of the times you picked me up at the office when I stayed late and for being so understanding when I was stressed out about deadlines. You're my third half. And finally, to the students and faculty, thank you for allowing us to create this book from your experiences at Oregon State University. Kevin Irish Business Manager When I was first appointed to the position, I felt overwhelmed by the task ahead of me. But thanks to all the help that Frank. Kami, Lois and Trevor offered me, the transition into my new role went off without a hitch. The support of the advising staff did not stop in the first few weeks, but continued through the rest of the year, and they were always willing to lend a helping hand. Our Barometer ads were created by Phil McClain, and they benefited greatly from his artful eye. And of course, a huge thank you to the staff members on the Beaver, without them there would be no book. Also a special thank you to Samantha, who made the many long hours in the ofhee more bearable. I couldn't see myself being paired up with anyone else. A huge thank you goes to the students of Oregon State University for living the active and interesting lives which filled every page of the book. 1 hope the student body enjoys our final product and continues to enjoy the book for years to come. yearbook staff 289 Oregoi ate University Campus Directory Oregon Stato University Bulletin 290 � index c £Aito r-5oKiAA J Ulone division 291 Addington, Tahnee 87 Adkins, Marley 214 Ainslie, Jason 71 Aitkin, Sarah 234, 272 Allen, Lisa 159,161 Altendorf, Erin 280 Anderson, Claire 234, 272 Anderson, Derek 107,112,115 Anderson, Jessye 268 Anderson, Kelsie 272 Armstrong, Lige 21 Arnaud, Stephanie 272 Arredondo, Andres 280 Ayers, Cheryl 272 BabinimAlan 280 Baker, Tessa 123 Balasubramanian, Maniselvan 280 Barnes, Morgan 272 Beavlavier, Matt 64 Becker, Matt 281 Benda, Mike 288 Bennett, Michelle 263 Bennett-Stroud, Julia 216 Benson, Allie 272 Bernal-Fields, Shanna 272 Bessey, Amber 281 Bettis, Jennifer 216 Betts, Eric 272 Bevens, Larry 281 Bhargava, Gaurav 281 Billmeyer, Peter 127,128,129 Binder, Monica 272 Bixby, D.D. 257, 258 Black, Amanda 272 Blakney, Jessica 272 Blevins, Holly 272 Bloom, Alex 224, 272 Bloom, Ryan 260 Bohan, Anthony 224, 272 Bondurant.
