It was deemed the most important election of our time, and everyone from MTV to the Democrats to the Republicans wanted your vote. As the October 12 deadline for voter registration in Oregon loomed, ASOSU put in a final attempt to gain as many new voters as possible. The result was 5000 Loud! The free, non partisan event was held in the MU Quad on Thursday October 7, and featured live music from campus favorites such as Jahbong, Amadan and Sweater Club. Another incentive was the beer garden, provided by Bombs Away Cafe and Full Sail Brewing Company. And the most important ingredient: dozens of ASOSU volunteers, dressed in blue Beaver Nation t-shirts, clipboards in hand, eagerly asking that age old question, Are you registered to vote? Many enthusiastic crowd goers helped the event receive a good turnout. From those who just wanted to enjoy free live music and drinking (for those of age) or the political end of the spectrum, with rousting, enthusiastic speeches from activists of ASOSU, it was a great opportunity for all to get a chance to be encouraged to get active, get out there and VO’IT.

On October 11. the Pride Center celebrated their grand opening of a brand new building on official National Coming Out Day. Under a tent outside of the newly renovated 1940 s era bungalow on A avenue, the Pride Center threw a huge party with speakers coming from across the nation to welcome the third center of its type in Oregon. In her keynote address Kathleen Saadat, a Portland based civil rights activist, gave the crowd homework for the next 20 years. She challenged students, faculty, staff, and community members to become activists... move out of [their] comfort .one daily... make teachable moments out of off color jokes.' Roey Thorpe, a second keynote speaker of the evening, also gave homework. First, she said, get involved politically, because everyone can make a difference. Second, she encouraged students to defend their own education, break down social and political barriers and learn all they can to support and understand everyone. Each of the speakers commented on their pride in the Oregon State campus and community. Because of what they’ve done for the soul and spirit of our community,' in Larry Roper s words, the Pride Center is a place worth being proud of, as a place where understanding is taught to the campus and community. The Pride Center opening was truly a proud day in the lives of many people. Luke Sugie and Grctchcn Bates, the External and Internal Coordinators, respectively, of the Pride center this year beamed with pride at the cutting of the ribbon to officially open the house by President Ray. After the ribbon was cut people were able to simply wander through the center. ’’Basking in the joy of (the) place, said by Deb Burke. Young children also joined in the festivities. Over a dinner provided by the center. The Sissy Duckling, a book that enforces values of acceptance and understanding of all people, was read to some of the young children. The center emphasizes a secure setting for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, and allied students with plenty of information and support services for students and community members of OSU. Through being a visible part of the campus community and putting on events to educate the public the Pride Center will promote understanding and acceptance of the LBGT community.

Photo by Lea McVey On Saturday, October 30, most students began their day by sleeping in. For the 150 members of OSUs marching band their day took a slightly different note. While the football team was in Arizona, the band hosted their annual marching band competition. 19 bands representing high schools from around the Willamette Valley braved the rain and descended on Reser Stadium in the early morning hours to begin the competition day. For the OSU band members, this was a day to show what it meant to be a college band in front of an audience who understood every detail. “These people come just to sec the bands. They get it. They understand what we're doing, said Brad Townsend, the band director. At the end of the day, the OSU band , dance team, and color guard gave one of their best performances of the year, a performance made even more memorable when the entire audience took to their feet at the end of the show.

Loud pumping music, check. Excited audience, check. Sexy women in high heels, check. But this isn’t any typical nightclub show—this is the Rainbow Continuums 3rd Annual Drag Show. Held on October 29th, 2004 in Club Escape, a full house of 300 watched women and men trade genders for a night while lip-syncing to hot dance tunes. The emcees this year were Mona Littlelaudcr and Ben Malic ., who entertained the crowd between acts with jokes and double entendres. A popular event, organizers had to turn away people at the door for the second year in a row. Competitors lip synched to such tunes as Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and Prince’s Erotic City. Exhibition acts included the Beastesses from the Eastcsses doing Lady Marmalade and last year’s Queen of the Beaver Eucilla DcMorc performing Santa Baby. The show concluded with Mona Eittlelaudcr’s Rhythm of the Rain. Participants Dick and the flanging Chads had this to say about the competition after their performances of Ballroom Blitz and You Can Ixave Your Hat On : It was a learning experience. Dick, aka Darlene Valencia, said that she saw the performance last year and had to do it this year. The opportunity to get up on stage and do something so different was one I couldn’t pass up. Performing is such a rush. Not only was the drag show an entertaining experience, it was educational as well. During the show, Mona Littlelaudcr, Lucilla DeMore and Ben Malitz explained the concept of gender as a continuum. Finally, at the end of the show the Queen and King of the Beaver were crowned: performers Kiki and Aiden took home the awards, bringing the 3rd Annual Drag Show to a close. UPcIose Luke Sugie Luke Sugie was waiting in anticipation for the show to start; he still had a day to wait. All his hard work and preparation was about to pay off. Luke, aka Lucilla DcMorc, his drag name, is planning on wearing a bustier with a robe and of course heels. I have a small foot so it is easy for me to find shoes. Lucilla says on finding heels. Shopping is usually done at Nordstrom, Goodwill, Ebay or Ross. I started doing drag shows with people that made me feel comfortable. 1 have been doing drag shows for two years now, says Luke. Lucilla made her first big debut on Halloween and last year was crowned queen. While the crowd outside was growing cold and impatient, the queens and kings were busy getting ready inside. It usually takes about and hour to get ready when I am dressing up as a queen and fifteen minutes when I am dressing up as a king, Luke says. Tonight Luke was spending about an hour getting ready because he was dressing up as a queen. The atmosphere was vibrant with lights flashing, music blaring and the crowd dancing with the beat. I he kings and queens were sporting suits, top hats, sequent tops, short shorts and a handful of colorful wigs. I he performers danced to music such as Lady Marmalade, Wake Me Up Before You Go Girl and One Girl Revolution.

Photo by Hank Hirsch It oil has to fit together -Mike Riley bl On a sunny but cold Saturday the Oregon State Football Team pulled off a Homecoming victory. Coming oft a road win at the University of Washington, the Beavers tore up Washington State University 38-19 at Reser Stadium. The Beavers scored three touchdowns and one field goal to go up 24-3 at the half. The Beavers cooled off slightly in the second half, but not enough to give Washington State a chance. They scored two more touchdowns to end the game. One of those touchdowns was a 79-yard run by tailback Rvan Cole. This was Cole’s first career touchdown and a big one for the Beavers. Cole, a sophomore, led the team in rushing yards with 12 carries for 104 yards. Senior quarterback Derek Anderson also had a good game, completing 18 out of 39 attempts for 270 yards. With a Homecoming win under his belt, Anderson became even closer to breaking several of Oregon State’s records. 1 think in the future when we look back, (Anderson] will have a very productive winning legacy and, obviously, most all the records, said head coach Mike Riley. This season was the first time since 1974 that the Beavers beat both Washington and Washington State in the same season. I think our line is doing better, and I think our backs are seeing the holes and running hard, which they have been for the most part. It all has to fit together. And we found a pretty good variety, inside-outside stuff, and that also helps when you can have a little success, said Riley.

Halloween Halloween 2004 gave a new vibrancy to Oregon State University’s traditional colors of orange and black. From block to block the entire Corvallis campus was littered with the ceric spirit of All Hallows Eve. Everyone discovered a different way to celebrate the night. In residence halls many coeds positioned spooky decorations throughout their halls, while others attempted to be ten again, all dressed up and ready to trick-or-treat. 26 Fall Term Those too old to go out and hunt for candy found another excuse to get gussied up: Halloween parties. Heaven and Hell appeared on earth the night before Halloween for Chi Phi, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Phis gathering. The extremely popular party not only featured a basement transformed into hell and a dance floor transformed into heaven, but a large entrance line. Meanwhile, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Phi Epsilon's shindig was a huge success. Freshman Jodie Hee explains her thoughts on her first frat party, everyone there was very scandalously festive. Costumes ranged from princesses to fairies to gangsters, even Scooby Doo made an appearance, each and every individual attempting to be the most original. Another popular Halloween hang out was the FIJI Haunted House, which was a total success, said Melissa Killian. Sigma Kappa had so much fun helping put it on. We hope to carry on the success next year. Crowds of customers enjoyed the scary ghouls and the creative rooms featured in the house, and most left raving about how immensely frightening the spectacle was. Whether trick-or-treating, getting down on the dance floor, or getting a tour through a house straight from hell, Beavers gave new meaning to Halloween, in the meantime making scores of memories.

The Sweater Club, Runaway Came. Winfield and Embcrghost all performed at the fill concert. Groups from all over campus, including MUPC and Student Involvement, banded together to put on the concert. It was intended to replace the annual I leckart Street Dance, which did not take place because of renovations on Heckari Lodge. With the participation of many more organizations, the concert evolved to include a speech from MUPC president Jarvez Mall, a free barbecue, and presentations from OSU's multicultural groups. The concert also moved the annual festivities from the west end of campus to the east end. A stage and food were set up on the lawn near Callahan and McNary. Despite the chance of rain, plenty of students turned out to rock away the stress of midterms. After such a successful show, organizers hope that it will continue as an annual concert.

In the first two games of the season, the women shut out San Diego State 1-0 and beat UC Santa Barbara 2-1 in overtime. The Beavers beat New Hampshire 4-0 and UNC- Greensboro 2-1 to claim the OSU Nike Invitational at Lorenz field. Playing in Virginia, the Beavers shut out Richmond 2-0, to start the season 5-0-0. This was the first 5-0-0 start for OSU since 1995. However, the path took a turn and the Beavers lost seven of their next eight games which included a 3-2 overtime loss to Virginia Commonwealth. One of the brightest spots for the Beavers this season was beating the University of Oregon 3-0 in Eugene. Said head coach Steve Fcnnah, Rival games are always very nervous and close. It was exciting to come away with a win, especially a convincing win. The Beavers went on to beat Washington State 1-0 and tic Cal-Berkelev 0-0 in double overtime. I hey capped off the season with convincing wins against No. 10 Arizona and Arizona State. Against ASU, the Beavers put forth a tremendous team effort. The only goal of the game came with one minute remaining in the second overtime when junior Stacey Mescher passed the ball to freshman Jodie Taylor. Taylor sneaked by the defenders in an excellent play to score the winning point. Taylor was later named the Pac-10 freshman of the year, the first OSU woman to receive the award since its inception in 1997. OSU wrapped up the regular season with its best Pac-10 record since the conference expanded to a full 10 teams for the sport in 1997. The Beavers posted their first overall winning record since 2000 with a record of 10-9-1.

Dad’s Weekend t was the first weekend of November, and campus was invaded by student’s dads. Dad’s Weekend, a yearly event that happens fall term, ran November 5 through 7 this year. Ever)’ year clubs and organizations work hard to provide activities to participate in. MUPC members organize the campus sponsered events. This year students could take their dads to watch movies in the MU, an intramural golf tournament put on at the trysting Tree Golf Course, Casino Buffet, a Dad and I Lok Alike contest, a bowling tournament at the bowling alley in the MU., the football game against USC, and the comedy show at Gill Coliseum. Dixon Rec Center also allowed dads to use their facilities for free over the weekend. Dads and students could visit the climbing center, work out, go on a white water rafting trip, or get a massage. Sororities and fraternities also participated in Dad’s Weekend. Two houses were paired up for the weekend and they created a schedule for the members of each house to participate in together. They held barbecues, casino nights, and a Sunday morning brunch to say goodbye. Each year, Dad’s Weekend gets bigger and better and new traditions are formed. Who knows what future years will hold in store? Right: These Beover fans are all decked out to watch the Oregon State game against USC during Dad's Weekend.

Not many would. But during Friday night of Dad’s Weekend, Drew Carey and Colin Mochrie risked their Screen Actors Guild insured feet for the sake of comedy, said fellow comedian Greg Proops. They were all live at Gill Coliseum as pan of the comedy act Improv All Stars. Students, faculty, dads, and many other members of the OSU community gathered for the hour and a half of hilarious comedy. Improv All Stars members present were Drew Carey, Sean Masterson, Greg Proops, Colin Mochrie, Charles Esten, Brad Sherwood, and pianist Laura Hall. I thought the best pan was the last skit with the mousetraps. Drew and Colin were trying so hard to not step on those traps! commented John Calkins. Calkins, who was at the show with his daughter, freshman Amber Calkins, was one of the many dads in the audience. What’s up Beavers? was Carey’s opening line. I’ve been looking forward to coming here just to say that: what’s up Beavers? Carey started off with jokes about Paris Hilton, the Democratic Party, and international politics. He introduced the rest of the improv crew as the best improv performers in the whole wide English-speaking world today. The Improv All Stars entertained everyone with a scries of funny skits, songs, and lots of audience participation. Besides dancing on mousetraps, the All Stars played Freeze Tag, Greatest Hits, and many other popular games from the comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway? Esten and Sherwood even serenaded Sandy Jameson, head advisor for the Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering department. During the game of Jeopardy, hosted by Colin Mochrie a.k.a. Alex Trebek, the All Stars took on an alias to come up with questions to the audience’s one-word answers. Carey was Robot John Kerry, Proops was an OSU student who just couldn’t graduate, and Esten was the world’s smallest giant. Before the show was over, the All Stars wished OSU the best of luck in that Saturday’s game with USC. Proops said, We all live in Southern California, but none of us are from there, so we hope you win. The show came to an end with a standing ovation from the crowd.

The competition is held at Peavey Arboretum and consists of several different events. The events included axe throwing, block chopping, pole toss, pole climbing, men’s and women’s double bucksaw, and Jack-and-Jill sawing. All of the members who competed from OSU were part of the OSU Forestry Club. In all there were five teams competing from Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. When all was said and done, Spokane Falls Community College came out on top. The Beavers were not far behind in second. Angie Hoffard won the choker race and Amanda Lindsey won the underhand chop on the women’s side for OSU. Gary Williamson won the overall title for the men. “The OSU team has a lot of first time competitors and we were extremely happy with their performances. The leadership displayed by the upperclassmen was exceptional, said senior captain Nick Gerritsen. Above: Members of the OSU forestry club participate in competitions at the annual Fall Frost.

The Beavers would fall short en route to a (8-10-1) season. But nevertheless they played their hearts out at every game, falling just short of victor)' more than once during the season. The men were lead this year by seniors Chad Bartlome, Brian Johnson, and Evan McNeley. Sophomore Robbie Findley, 2003 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, and junior Ryan Johnson also made significant contributions. The Beavers opened the season with a 1-0 exhibition win over Northern Illinois followed by a 4-2 win over Valparaiso. Oregon State then topped No. 21 Rhode Island to win the Joe Zaher Stephen Hensor Classic for the second year in a row. They dominated St.Bonaventure, 2-1, and Cornell, 5-0, to win the OSU Diadora Clif Bar challenge at Lorenz Field. However, Pac-10 play wasn’t as nice to the Beavers as they hoped. They were winless until November 7th when they knocked off No. 7 UCLA 1-0 in a very competitive match that included 38 fouls and three yellow cards. Ryan Johnson scored the only goal of the game in the nineteenth minute. The guys did really well, OSU head coach Dana Taylor said. We finished on one great opportunity. To cap off the season the Beavers defeated No. 9 Washington in overtime play. Findley scored three goals including the winning shot in overtime. The Beavers were able to overcome several player injuries to play a solid game and end the season with an upset victory. Story by Amy Welch Men's Soccer 41 Above: Carlos Cornejo.

The concert was appropriately titled American As Apple Pie” and featured pieces reflecting the American spirit. Playing to a crowded house, the wind ensemble performed selections from such notable composers as Samuel Barber and Aaron Copland. The pieces, chosen by conductor G. Mancho Gonzalez, were meant to represent American life. The very funky piece Motown Metal, composed by modern composer Michael Daugherty, particularly pleased the audience and featured the brass section of the wind ensemble as well as the percussion secton. The concert also featured The Department of Homeland Security March as the most recently written piece in the concert. The march was written especially for the United States Coast Guard band by composer Lewis J. Buckley. The overall mood of the concert was upbeat, the audience was appreciative and the student performers did very well in their first concert of the school year. Bassoonist Megan Elbert declared the concert a success, attributing it to both the students’ hard work and the new conductor. We have really made a lot of progress. I was pleased with our performance and can’t wait to start working on the pieces for the next concert. Story by Lindsay Jansen Above: With the drums ready to go. the band has its rhythm.

Civil War Blood Drive hen most of us think about the Civil War, we think of the most dramatic football game of the year. However, during the week of November 8-11, another annual Civil War event took place in the MU Ballroom, the Civil War Blood Drive. Over a thousand OSU students and faculty rolled up their sleeves to donate blood to the local Red Cross chapter. To encourage donations, a friendly competition took place between OSU and UO to see which university could collect the most blood. For each pint of blood donated by one Beaver fan, three people were helped by that blood or by blood products. Tim Lippert, a representative from the Red Cross, encouraged everyone who could to donate an hour of his or her time to give blood. “Ever)’ two seconds, someone needs blood,” Lippert said. “There is no other place to get blood other than from donations.” Lippert went on to say that most people donate blood to help others, as they would want someone to help them if they had a loved one that was in need. “You’d want someone to do it for your family.” One person who understood this concept of helping others was the president of the OSU Blood Drive Association, Alison Hammett. Her mother needed blood once and was helped by a donor. This act prompted Hammett to donate blood as often as possible. Hammett understands the value of every single pint of blood, “It’s important and valuable because it saves lives.” At the end of the four-day drive, over 3,000 OSU students and faculty had donated blood. Others had donated their time as volunteers. Whether they came alone or with friends, members of the OSU community did their part to help those in need. Of course, a little friendly competition with the school down the road only helped to encourage Beaver fans to donate their blood. Story by Colleen Moran Term Above: Despite her nerves, this student concentrates on the benefits of donating blood. Photo by Troy Smith Civil War Blood Drive 47 Arguably the largest, most well known event that happens in Oregon is the Civil War football game. When both teams are playing for a spot in a bowl game, as happened this year, all eyes were on the action in Reser Stadium. On that memorable night, it was a good time to be a Beaver. Despite naysayer taunts of quarterback Derek Anderson's less than perfect performances at past games, the intimidating field presence of U of O quarterback Kellen Clemens, and the rivalry between the universities, the loyal fans of Beaver Nation turned out in swarms to support their Beaver football team. The sea of orange and black clad fans in Reser Stadium witnessed history in the making on November 20th, the night of the 108th annual Civil War. It was a night of firsts. U of O coach Mike Bellotti had his first losing streak since becoming the Duck’s football coach. OSU’s quarterback Derek Anderson had his first game with no more than one interception. He also passed for 351 yards, and scored four touchdowns. OSU freshman kicker Alexis Serna scored almost as many points by himself as the entire Duck team. On top of all this, OSU ended the game with the most points of either team since the first Civil War game in 1896. At the end of the night, the Beavers had earned their bid to a bowl game. The final score: Beavers 50, Ducks 21. Senior wide receiver Mike Hass reflected on the up and down season the Beavers had. In the end he said, “A lot of people thought we couldn’t do it [make it to a bowl game], but we...just had faith in ourselves and we came through.” 48 Fall Term Story by Colleen Moron Opposite page: Jonathan Pollard, a senior linebacker, tries to keep Ducks away from Derek Anderson long enough for him to find the wide reciever.

Those that tryout for the team are judged on tumbling, cheering, stunting and dancing capabilities. When the tryouts were completed, there were over 40 members on the squad. The men and women that made the squad were then divided between the two different squads, the Black Squad and the Orange Squad. If you are a sports fan you can see them cheering at any football game, as well as the men or women’s basketball games. They also cheer for the women’s volleyball team, as well as help at youth clinics, and middle school clinics. They participate in tumbling classes, partner stunt classes, and other competitions to further their talents and experience. The Oregon State Cheerleaders practice almost daily and spent many tireless hours perfecting the tumbling and stunting that we get to enjoy as an audience member. This year the Oregon State Cheerleading squad worked extremely hard to reach a goal that had yet to be accomplished. They worked hard enough for the opportunity to compete in the Universal Cheerleading Association Collegiate Nationals. This competition took place in Orlando, Florida on January 16, 2C05. This was the first time the Oregon State squad had made an appearance at this elite competition. The Beavers were the highest placing Pac-10 squad at the competition and even placed higher than the previous years’ national champion. Despite some difficulties with the music, the squad was able to put on a performance that earned them 9th place. They are already looking forward to the competition next year and hope to bring home another title for the Beaver fans.

Being in the color guard is more than just spinning a bright flag at football games. It’s about having Beaver Fever. This is a group of talented individuals who know how to work hard and still have fun. Some team members were pan of their high school’s color guard. Some joined just this year. No matter what their level of experience, they all pulled together to put on a great show each and every time they took to the field. Performing was a favorite aspect of color guard for many members. Team captain Melissa Smith explained, “Performing is fun, [because of] having all the attention on you. When the music began, these ladies lit up the field with their smiles and enthusiasm. If they were not on the field, they could easily be spotted in the stands leading dances along to the football tunes of the OSU Marching Band. As the football season came to a close, guard members reflected back on how they had gone from a group of individuals to a team. They recalled the long, grueling hours of band camp in September, as well as their first halftime performance in the pouring rain. They laughed as they remembered their performance at the foggy USC game. Most of all, they spoke of the fun they had had together. As senior Niky Poole explained, color guard is a unique, enjoyable experience because, “You get to be around friends who share the same interests as you.” Story by Colleen Moron Above: Guard members take a break from cheering to pose for a photograph.

They were there to hear The Spirit of OSU, a free concert put on by the Oregon State choral program. The OSU Meistersingers kicked off the evening with Old Dan Tucker, an American folksong, and continued with a few spiritually enlightened songs such as Holy is the Lord and Going Up to Glory. They then completed their segment with some old favorites such as the Beaver Medley, Beaver Born and Hail to Old OSU, inviting the crowd to join in, which they did, eagerly and excitedly. Bella Voce followed with the Traditional Irish blessing to showcase their harmonies, as well as Ave Maria, Away From the Roll of the Sea, Go Where I Send Thee and Noche de Lluvia, which was accompanied by two dancers, Trevor Cochran and Rebecca Robison, who tangoed and waltzed along with the rhythm of the music for all in the audience to enjoy. Rounding out the evening, the female group Divine and the male group Outspoken both performed, singing more contemporary picks arranged differently to accompany more people. Both groups were smaller than the previous performers, as to better showcase individual voices. Outspoken received some laughs over the comedy in their presentation and many were blown away by how beautifully Divine sounded together. Overall, the evening was a success, and a great standard was set for the remaining performances throughout the year.

In fact, it was their first season since OSU disbanded both of its cross country teams in 1987. Led by coach Kelly Sullivan, these ladies left their mark on the OSU history books while also setting the stage for the new cross country program. The 2004 team was a mix of die-hard runners ranging from freshman to seniors. Some team members were the best at their high school. Others practiced in Reser on their own, hoping for the day when OSU would again have a cross country team. Sullivan spotted sophomore Ashley Younce during one of those runs and invited her to join the new team. “It’s real exciting to be a part of a first team. I think it’s great and a it’s a great opportunity for everyone involved with the program,” Younce said after joining the team. Others, such as former Duck runner Taylor Bryant, transferred from other universities for the opportunity to join a new team headed by a well-known coach. Even though their team was new, these 26 ladies proved themselves to be a force to reckon with in the Pac-10. At Eastern Washington in early October, their first meet, the team placed second. Later in the month, OSU hosted its first cross country meet in Avery Park in 17 years. Junior Katie Magnuson led the Beaver runners, placing 15th out of a total of 64 runners. These talented ladies exceeded expectations at Regionals, where they finished 16 out of 29 teams. Even though this was the first year for the new women’s cross country team, they reminded the Pac-10 that the Beaver runners were back, and they will continue to be a force to be reckoned with.

Study Abroad:Tunisia 65 ovembcr saw the opening of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town on the OSU stage. The play, directed by Marion Rossi, was produced by efforts of students, faculty and community members. The script is a picture of life and death in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire— it is told as a story of love and marriage. Grover’s Comers is a small town akin to the towns of America. With character that could belong anywhere, it is truly Our Town. Rick Wallace opens and moderates the play as the narrator, edging in from the wings to take part in the unfolding drama. The careful narration paints a simple picture of town on a bare set, accented only by furniture and lighting. Rebekah Carey and Bob Simons play Emily and George, two teenagers who grow up in adjacent houses and sharing adjacent dreams of Our Town. One day, in the town drugstore sipping ice-cream sodas, the two discover that they share the same dream—each other. The neighboring boy and girl regard each other with the all the batting eyelashes and confusion of teenagers in love, but Wilder wrote of much more than that. George must grow from his obsession with baseball into a man—a husband. The play ran for two weeks. With its large supporting cast of actors and production staff, Our Town proved another success for OSU’s theater program. Story by Hank Hirsch Above: El Graff plays Professor Willard.

In addition to this the Oregon State Volleyball team reached a team goal of being, the best team in Oregon, as senior middle blocker Amanda Eggert expresses. This success merely forshadowed the season to come. Another peak of the season was forcing number 1 ranked University of Washington to five games. After losing the first two matches 20 30, 37-39, OSU cam back to win the third and fourth 30-16, 30-27, only to be disappointed by losing 15-10 in the fifth game. Nevertheless these matches made the Oregon State volleyball team on of only five teams in the season to force the Huskies to play all five games. The volleyball team ended the season with gratifying wins over the University of Oregon and the University of Portland while hosting the Oregon State Showcase in Corvallis. Earning their bragging rights for another year by beating the Ducks in all of the opportunities available. Finishing the season with a 12-16 record these women contribute much of their teams success to pure chemistry between teammates. Eggert illustrates why this positive vibe improves the season, It definitely helps throughout a long season if you get along well with your teammates. Outside hitter Allison Lawrence sums up her ideas on the 2C04 volleyball season, through belief, hard work, and unity we achieved, in my opinion, the highest level of volleyball that OSU has ever seen.

This motto spurred the renovation of Reser Stadium, which began with the groundbreaking ceremony in May of 2004. With a planned bigger capacity, a revamped visitor’s section, as well as the very first escalators in Corvallis, 2004-2005 was all about Raising Reser. Phase one of the project included a new seating capacity of almost 43,000, which promised 8,000 more Beaver fans a chance to see the games. The home side was updated and redesigned to accommodate the fans with the best in comfort and convenience. In the second and third phases, the visitor’s side was renovated to mirror the new home side seating. Also, the south end zone got a second deck, completing the bowl. With the new seating on both the home and visitor’s sides, as well as the south deck, the total capacity of the new Reser Stadium was raised to 55,000 seats. The third phase also included a new parking structure. Located next to Halsell Hall, the parking structure will serve the thousands of new ticket holders to Reser Stadium. The new field is slated to be ready for use in late June, just in time for football camp. By September 3,2005, organizers plan to have fully completed the project. The first game played will be against Portland State University. 'I he Athletics Department is excited for the opportunity to make Beaver Nation even better. As their web site explains, the Raising Reser project is about expanding Beaver Nation, both in memberships and in the form of a state-of-the-art venue designed to enhance [the] Beaver football experience for years to come. Story by Samantha Hudson Do you remember that group of amazingly talented ladies who performed to music by the OSU Marching Band at every home football and basketball game? Yes. they did have pompoms. No, they were not cheerleaders. They were the thirteen members of Oregon State's Dance Team. Part athletic team, part Marching Band group, the members of OSU s Dance Team thrilled crowds at both Reser Stadium and Gill Coliseum during fall and winter term, as well as at an away game at the University of Washington. While students only saw the fast-paced routines and beaming smiles during performances, the Dance Team worked long and hard behind the scenes to make their routines seem effortless. Before even making the team, potential members had to go through three days of tryouts the previous spring. During those strenuous days they demonstrated their technical skills, such as split leaps, pirouettes, and flexibility. They also learned a funk routine and the fight song, as well as performing a short routine of their own choreography. At each step of the tryouts, the ladies were evaluate on their abilities and showmanship. The thirteen who made the team truly were the best of the best. With their infectious spirit and their ability to get the crowd excited about the game, the OSU Dance Team entertained sports fans at two of OSU s most popular sporting events. Just don't call them cheerleaders. Story by Colleen Moron Above: Dancer Cambria Cloud practices her moves before a football game.

Photo by Katrina Murphy The Beavers proved themselves to be a dominate force to be reckoned with in the Pae 10 by the end of the 2004-2005 sea- son. Beginning the year with a 1-4 win to loss record, the team never gave up. and they created a huge turnaround with impressive plays, scores and statistics. The season was underway after a loss to the LSU Gators. The team surprised everyone across the nation when they outplayed the team the whole game only to lose in the final minutes of overtime. Back at home in Corvallis, the team pulled out their first win against New Mexico, with a score of 17 to 7. The Beavers struggled to maintain a winning streak however, losing the next two games against 22 Arizona State and 10 California. At this point, head coach Mike Riley and the team decided to give the season another chance. Following that decision was a three game winning streak against Washington. Washington State and the Arizona Wildcats. The Beavers dominated in all three games, all high scoring and keeping all opposing offensive play at a minimum. A second chance for the team to prove themselves came next, against the 1 team in the country, USC. The Beavers played well, dominating the field even through the cloud of fog that encircled Reser Stadium. They held off USC for two thirds of the game, until the Trojans made a comeback and went on to steal the win. It was a sad ending to another hard fought game, but the Beavers’ optimism set the stage for the team to easily win their last two games. The next win was at Stanford, as the team geared up to play the Ducks at home for the 2004 Civil War on November 20. They played their last game of the season perfectly. They clearly had control of the game on the field, and won it easily 50 to 21; also claiming bragging rights as they earned the highest score of either team in the whole history of the rivalry. The win also secured the Beavers a bowl game, making it the perfect ending to a near perfect season.

It was an especially important game for players who wouldn't be back the next year. Swancutt. a senior, said It felt really good to go out of my last game as a Beaver w ith a win.

The play was directed by Charlotte Headrick and reproduced from a new translation by Erie Hill, specially made for the production. Written roughly 500 years ago. the story is still a timeless classic comedy. Callimacho has fallen in love with Lucrestsia who is married to the foolish Nicia. Ligurio tricks Nicia. who wants an heir, into thinking that Dr. Callimacho has a special formula that is made from the mandrake root that would enhance Lucrestsia's fertility. Chaos explodes and. as it turns out. the end justifies the means. La Maiulragola was the first production performed on Withycombe Hall’s new Shakespeare Stage. The stage was recently designed by associate professor emeritus Richard George, and it served the play well. The cast consisted of Paul Pistey (Ligurio). Mike Bcdncy (Nicia). Holly Marquardt (Lucertisia), David Fox (Callimacho), Kendra Thysell (Siro), Gieselle Blair (Sostrata). Ryan Hodges (Brother Tinoteo) and Arin Dooley and Amy Edwards as the narrators.

The two were very different kinds of sites: the first, known to students as Facebook, was a university-oriented networking site while the second was an internet forum that caters exclusively to Oregon State students. Created in 2004 by Harvard University student Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook spread to campuses across the country, including Oregon State. Students had an opportunity to create a personal profile and add friends to a directory list. As part of the profile, students could search for people in their classes, clubs and living groups around campus. In addition to allowing networking around campus, it helped people to stay in touch with friends on other college campuses. Junior Jared Watson said, Facebook allows me to keep in touch with friends from past classes as well as friends from high school who don’t go to Oregon State. By contrast, the student-run forum Beaverchat.com allowed for a different kind of networking. As an online forum, it allowed students to post topics and replies to various kinds of discussions, everything ranging from politics, sexual practices, and social events. Beaverchat appeared in January of 2003, put together by senior in HDFS Phankeo Yi, who initially started the site has a central place for posting classifieds. Beaverchat later grew into a hybrid of a social forum and a classified forum. When Beaverchat first started it was rare for members to meet in public. 'I'wo years later, Beaverchatters regularly organized public social events, which included movie nights, poker nights, and parties.

Photos by Paolo Tomka Vagina Monologues Eve Ensler's play comes to OSU 116 SlWinter Term In anticipation for Valentine's Day, OSU students put forth the extra time and effort to truly express their feeling of love and admiration for that special person in their lives—themselvcs. This year’s V-Day concluded with Eve Ensler's energetic, comedic, and often controversial stage performance The Vagina Monologues on February 10th and 11th. The play, which was based on Ensler’s sexually driven interviews with over 200 women of all races, ages, and social backgrounds, was meant to shed light on the mystery of feminine sex organs and to personify female sexuality. The show, which was performed by an all ages female cast of local thespians. took place at the LaSclls Stewart Center. Cast member Darlene Valencia said that being surrounded by a diverse group of women was. “empowering. I “T he women are older, younger, have all different types of majors; some women’s families are against it. and others have no shame about what they are doing,” Valencia explains. The subject matter of the play is the reason why The Monologues are often surrounded with controversy. The acts in the performance ranged from the explicit depiction of rape and murder in war-torn Eastern Europe to the lighter comedic demonstration of the types of orgasms a woman could have. Regardless, The Vagina Monologues are performed annually at universities nationwide. This year’s performance at OSU donated a large part of their proceeds to the Corvallis Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence. Cast member Joey Carroll said. “Getting together with such a diverse group of people and working toward such a worthy goal is such a great experience.” She added. “There is no better way to spend your Valentine's Day.

Photo by Troy Smith It’s about fighting for everything and not letting opportunities slip through our fingers -Coach Tanya Chaplin OSU’s Women’s Gymnastics team began the 2005 season with high expectations. Their goal: to win the NCAA National Championships. With a promising group of nine new freshmen and two seniors who returned after being sidelined by injuries last year, the gymnastics team was off to a good start. On January 4th OSU, ranked 12th in the nation, scored their first win of the season at their meet against Washington, Cal State Fullerton, and Sacramento State. The ladies of OSU were especially strong in their floor routines, an event which had been one of their strongest throughout the years. Later in the month OSU went up against M2 Utah. However, the OSU vault team swept the medals with scores ranging from Therese Videan’s 9.55 to Heather Justus’ 9.835. By their meet on March 4th, the OSU team had extended their winning streak to ten meets. The beam team continued to meet the pressure of competition and produce high scoring routines. Perhaps some of this was due to the strong friendships that the team formed. As junior Chrissy Lamun said, “Our chemistry has been nothing but amazing...everyone wants to be here.” A highlight of the season was their performance at the Pac-10 Championships, where OSU placed third. Coach Tanya Chaplin was named Pac-10 coach of the year and freshman Megan Devencenzi shone on the vault with a score of 9.9. The ladies also received All-Academic honors with eight team members achieving GPAs of 3.7 or above. By the end of the season, the OSU gymnastics team had proved they had what it takes to stand up to some of the best teams in the nation. Although they did not meet their pre-season goal of becoming the national champions, they did give OSU fans something to cheer about.

Barely a year ago they were a relatively unknown band more famous for their chalk messages in the Memorial Union Quad than for their music. From there they became a wildly popular Battle of the Bands group. On January 21, Sweater Club stepped into OSU band history when they released their first CD. Rather than just making the CD accessible on their website, the band hosted their very own show to celebrate this huge accomplishment. Their CD. F.xposition. was released to a hometown crowd at the Ballroom Rock Spectacular! in the MU. The six songs on record included their hit “Gods Are Fragile Things.” As loyal fans know. Sweater Club's music is unique. It defies nearly every definition of a college rock band. Which is exactly how band members Guy Cappiccic, Evan Churchill. Matt Jager. Alee Krctchun. Dave Stanley, and Grant Thomas want it to stay. They say that their music is influences by life and that they do not want to be confined to one definition of music. They described their combination of ska. punk, reggae, jazz, and rock as “...very intricate, dark, and rocking.” No matter how they are described, one thing that is certain is Sweater Club’s popularity with the OSU community. After all. it takes quite a following to encourage a band to take the plunge and record a CD.

The Memorial Union Ballroom was ornately decorated in an international theme. Days, weeks, months, and even years of preparation came together at the 2005 Repeat Performance Fashion Show: Ravishing Rubbish from Around the World, presented by the Oregon State chapter of Fashion Group International. One by one, models paraded down the runway, wearing the carefully handcrafted, earth-friendly designs of the aspiring designers. The designers drew inspiration from just about anywhere: cereal boxes, newspaper, magazines, old aluminum cans, bed sheets, garbage bags, tarp, old clothes, duct tape, and paper mache. Some pieces were actually wearable, such as reconstructed t-shirts; and others were just for show, like a top strung together out of oyster shells. Halfway through the show, there was an intermission, with performances that fit the mood of the evening. First, the cultural dance group H.M.O.N.G. performed a beautiful exotic dance, followed by Jeni-Kaye Fisher, who belly danced. At the end of the show, the audience had an opportunity to cast their vote for their favorite of the 58 pieces.

The open source revolution, that is. Free and open source software, such as Linux, has become more popular in the past few years, spurring the creation of groups such as OSU’s Linux Users Group. On one busy day during winter term, the group hosted Linux InstallFest. Sixty lucky computers and their owners became Linux lovers. It was the first InstallFest for the group, who has been active on campus for two years. It attracted about fifty' people, some with questions about how to use Linux, and others who were already users and just wanted to promote it. The community based nature of Linux creates a platform for groups such as the Linux Users Group to grow. 'Hie first InstallFest was so successful that the Linux Users Group hosted a second round soon after. Around seventy people turned out. Last time, we had a room and filled it. This time, we got a room twice as big and filled it, said Alex Polvi, a sophomore in Computer Science. “It shows so much support for open source. The Linux Users Group supported the open source community in other ways, too. They participated in Gentoo Bug Day in February.

The Vert Fest was held at the indoor climbing center at Dixon Rec Center on campus. This was the thirteenth year that the Vert Fest took place. Over 70 participants, including 14 children, signed up to show what they were made of on the rock wall. The competition was divided into three sections: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Entrants in each category competed by following a path to the top of the wall with different paths and different holds being worth more points. Competitors were also judged by the difficulty of the wall they climbed. Rec Center employees awarded the winner of each category a hand-made climbing medal. Old holds were made into beads and strung on climbing cord necklaces, and each had a medal engraved with the place they won. A raffle was also at the event and entrants won t-shirts, chalk, and climbing items. Many of the people who came out to help have done it each year the Vert Fest has been held and some were newcomers this year.

Participating houses earned points by checking in at the Quad. Houses received points for wearing the themed oufit of the day, such as Greek letters on Monday, or OSU gear on Tuesday. Some houses, like Tau Kappa Epsilon, went all out. On the “Wear Blue Day” the TKE’s came completely decked out in blue clothing and blue face point, while playing the “I'm Blue” song. Students wore blue on this day, because blue is the color for awareness on child abuse. Students also had the opportunity to donate money to the charities through penny drive.

The Beavers opened the season with a win against UC Santa Barbara, but lost to UCLA. They followed with a loss to California, 1 but rebounded with a win over San Jose State. In Long Beach, California at The Speedo Cup the Beavers placed 2nd in a field of eighteen teams. Over the course of the three-day event, OSU won nine event and broke six school records. Freshman Courtney Eads was the only OSU swimmer to compete at the U.S. Open where she placed third in the 200 yard butterfly.

During their trip, the Beavers beat Dartmouth and Rice, while falling to Hawaii. In January, the team was dealt losses by Arizona and Arizona State. The Beavers rebounded, however, by beating Idaho and Washington State at home at Stevens Natatorium. It was a very good meet, OSU I head coach Larry Liebowitz said. The girls did an outstanding job of showing the kind of swimming they are capable of.” They ended the conference season with a close loss to Washington. 1 The Beavs finished the season (A overall and 1-5 in the Pac-10. At the Pac-10 championships in Federal Way, WA, OSU qualified in five events to the NCAA championships with Eads, Embertson, and freshman Felicia Castenada qualifying. At the NCAA championships in West Lafayette, IN, the Beavers best finish was from Castenada who finished 19th in the 100 yard breastroke. A seventh place team finish is the highest a school without a diving program can finish at the Pac-10 Championships. We still achieved many of our goals, Liebowitz said. We came in seventh at the meet and we scored over 500 points. And we can all count on the Beavers being back next year, ready to compete with the best of them.

At the Pac-10 Championship baseball game on June 4, he’s standing on the sidelines, beaming in his embroidered event staff polo shirt. That’s right—he gets paid to attend OSU sporting events. The paperwork turned out to come with the territory, though. A typical week for Budnick includes at least a few hours of office work in the Athletic Department at Gill Coliseum. The rest of the week, he says, makes up for it. He’ll attend anywhere from It started during his freshman orientation. He was able to interview with the Athletic Department for a job, and chose event staff as his lirst choice. He figured it would be the most hands on athletic work, and he could avoid being stuck with a lot of paperwork every day. one to three events a week, the highlights being football, wrestling, and baseball. “Interns need to focus on one sport per season, football being mandatory, but it was a real treat to end the year being involved with baseball, because that has been my favorite sport since childhood.” Budnick’s main responsibility is for fan safety. He makes sure the stands are accessible and have the right amount of seating. During the games, he’s on standby in case anything happens. I am basically there to make sure the fans have a good, safe time. We want everyone to come back, and continue their support for the Beavers. Despite the sometimes rowdy fans, Budnick loves his job. He plans to stay on next year to keep being around the sports that he loves. As far as campus jobs go, this is a pretty good one-you get a courtside seats to all the OSU sporting events.

As part of her workload, Moser researches and writes one to two articles per week for the Daily Barometer while also copyediting one evening a week. On the Chronicle, she and her coeditor work with the senior staff to plan out the magazine and perform such tasks as article selection, article assignment, editing, and layout for the magazine. Moser enjoys her work, saying, I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. For Moser, the best part of the job is the combination of the rush from publication, seeing others reading her works or discussing her articles, and knowing she did something that helped others to learn. The worst part, however, is the rush before a deadline, though Moser counters that it is still a rush of sorts. Moser’s best work memory is of doing an article for the Daily Barometer regarding Dr. Leah Mine, a scientist using nuclear analysis on historical artifacts. She went to the university’s radiation center to interview Dr. Mine and while there received a private tour of the reactor from the scientist. In the future, Moser hopes to use her experience in extracurricular journalism, as she has discovered that she enjoys science writing. She plans on using her degree in microbiology along with this experience in journalism to pursue a career in science writing for a mainstream audience.

Usually held during winter term the day before the Superbowl, the 2005 Pledge Bowl took place on May 14th. Pledge Bowl took months to plan. Aaron Goldner, Tau Kappa Epsilon’s Vice President, was in charge of coordinating Pledge Bowl. Members of fraternities and sororities were eligible to play but only if they were pledges, freshmen, or members that were initiated in the past year. Some fraternities practiced year round to gain a competitive advantage and receive bragging rights. Usually Pledge Bowl takes place at Reser Stadium, but due to construction, the event was held at the Intramural fields. Ten teams participated, donating 90 dollars to Alzheimer’s research each. The first game started at eight in the morning on May 14 and ended at two. Whole houses cheered on the game. Tau Kappa Epsilon’s freshmen participated while the other members refereed or watched from the sidelines. The championship game pitted Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Upsilon against each other. The game was close but ended in a Sigma Phi Epsilon victory. The win earned them a trophy. The annual event was held all day and encouraged other younger members of the Greek community to come and support the men playing.

The event, meant to raise awareness regarding sexual assault and violence against women, featured events and booths in the MU Quad, a candlelight march from the Benton County Counhouse in downtown Corvallis to the Memorial Union steps, and a speakout where survivors and supporters of survivors could speak out against sexual assault. Organized by ASOSU’s Sexual Assault Prevention Committee, Take Back the Night served as a key component in the organization’s Sexual Assault Awareness Week. Prior to the march, participants could wander among booths set up in the Quad and receive information about sexual assault, supporting a survivor, and counseling for survivors. At Take Back the Night, survivors and their supporters were given a chance to express themselves regarding their experiences with sexual assault via posters and the speakout. During the candlelight march organizers led the marchers in chants and kept the group moving together towards campus. Take Back the Night started in Germany in 1973 as a result of outrage against a series of sexual assaults. The first march in the United States took place in San Francisco in 1978 with over 5000 female participants. Marches are held all over the world, and everywhere the idea that women should be safe to walk the streets alone at night is promoted by Take Back the Night.

Not only did fraternities and sororities participate, but members of the community were represented through the Corvallis Fire department and employees of Tailgaters. The event was held at Chintimimi Park on the morning of May 14,2005. The weather was perfect for a volleyball game with no rain. There were 16 teams and each team played best of two games out of three. Those that won were able to move on within the brackets. Members of the sorority acted as coaches, line judges, referees, or spectators. It took months of planning for the cophilanthropy chairs, Nicole Webb and Petria Hill, to organize the event. Their responsibilities included preparation and organization of Sideout such as public relations for the event, recruitment of teams, and going around to Corvallis businesses and asking for donations. Sponsors such as Reser’s Fine Foods and McDonald’s donated food and drinks during the event. Prizes consisted of buckets filled with gift certificates from Qdoba, Fred Meyers, Rapid Refill Ink, West Moon, and Five Star Sports.

Second-half performances included Vice Provost of Affairs Larry Roper playing the air saxophone, songs, dances, and a skit telling the story of a traditional Indian marriage. The show was hosted by Harish Jagannath, vice president of ISA, and included many guest appearances such as “50 piase.” Also included was the “Masala Mix,” a video of celebrities who “couldn’t make the show” dancing and singing to Indian pop music along with the original artists. The night concluded with a group dance from a lot of the people involved and a round of thanks to everyone that helped make India Night 2005 successful.

At the Willamette Open, their first meet in early March, this group of former high school stars and transfer students got the season off to a good start. Before their training regimen had even begun, freshman Jena-Marie Peterson competed in her first collegiate-level 1500-meter race and won. On April 9th the team headed south to Eugene’s Hayward Field where OSU placed runners in the top eight of several events. Despite being a new team, OSU women’s track had already begun to build a reputation for consistency. This attention to detail paid off for the team in mid-April when seven members were invited to California for the Mt. SAC Relays. This prestigious event brought two hundred teams from around the country together to compete in a four-day competition. Although OSU’s teams encountered a few mishaps that hindered their performance, overall it was a good opportunity to experience competing with the best from around the country. At the Pac-10 Championships in Los Angeles, the top seven team members battled scorching May temperatures to compete in the 1,500-meter, the 10,000 meter, and 3,000-meter steeplechase. Even though they came home without a medal, the ladies of the track team had an impressive first season to look back on. By the end of the season, OSU women’s track team had proved that despite their inexperience, they had the potential to become one of the elite track teams in the Pac-10.

Throughout the week, their were twenty three educational events that were free of charge. The first event was a Kick Off BBQ in the MU Quad. “It is tradition to start out with a BBQ kick” said Dau Nguyen, a sophomore in graphic design. “It is our way to invite students in this weeklong celebration, and it is our way to invite the people who inspire us through our academic career. Those people can be family members, colleagues, peers, workers, staff, of faculty.” Many workshops and activities were put on during the week. Some of the workshops were supposed to be funny, some were to raise awareness, and some brought up political issues in the community. Nevertheless, they were not there to influence anyone in any way, shape, or form. They were there to educate and raise awareness of the issues. Queer Pride Week also included a slumber party. Traditionally a camp out in the MU Quad, it was in the Pride Center due ot weather conditions in the Quad. It was a safe location, where they had karaoke, acted goofy, ate tons and tons of free food, watched movies, made smores, and danced. All were welcome at the packed slumber party. More activities like the Lube Olympics, Drag Race, and “Guess the Het” Game Show were there as events to take a break and just kick back and have a good time. These were some of the most successful events in the quad. The week long program was there to educate students in hope that whatever they got out of it, it would be a positive experience.

This is her account of the day 2pm 3pm Pouring rain! We are all hopeful that the rain will break for our event. Finally we begin set-up and the rush begins. This is the craziest time because there is so much to accomplish by 6pm, the start of the relays. Teams have begun to show up and we scramble to help them while completing our own set up. The sun is out and we are hopeful it will stay clear. Opening ceremony and survivor victory lap. At first I am slightly nervous as I look out at more than 500 faces as we kickoff our relay!! All of our work since September has been building p to this and it is perfect! 7-10pm A rush of entertainment, bands, dance groups, and the flurry of activity in every campsite. My fellow chairs and I personally thank every team. This is the most emotional pan of the relay. The Quad is lit by over 500 luminaries in honor or memory of those who have fought the cancer battle. The songs and poems bring tears to the eyes of many, myself included. 11:05pm Live KEZI interview! Having only thirty minutes to prepare I feel rather rushed and entirely too nervous! Though it’s wonderful to have them come just for our event! 11:30pm There is the ironman ironwoman competition that has begun! This competition is full of laughs and games. It begins with an obstacles course, fitness tests, a costume contest, eating contest, and a question and answer session. Finally—I can sit down! My feet are killing me! Only a few hours left. The Quad is quiet as people sleep. Catherine Mater, who is walking 40 miles in 14 hours, hasn’t slowed at all. She has unbelievable endurance! Clean up of the Quad has begun and at eight we close the relay with many thank yous and awards. Complete exhaustion as our committee leaves the Quad!

A sold out crowd waited patiently in a line outside of Gill Coliseum that stretched past the train tracks. When the guests entered the stadium, they were greeted with a mahalo and a lei necklace mack of shells. The tables were decorated with protea flowers and a fresh cut pineapple ready for a quick appetizer. The night truly began when an authentic Hawaiian dinner of Kalua pig, teriyaki chicken, chicken long rice, lomi lomi salmon, poi, and haupia for dessert were served. Decorations, food, and souvenirs were flown from Hawaii to make the night authentic and memorable. As dinner w inded down, the Polynesian Variety show began. Six pacific regions were repa'sented; Tahiti, Fiji, Tonga, New Zealand, 1 lawaii and Samoa by thirteen performances of chants and dances. Throughout the night Luau Coordinator and Emcee Ronald Han riffled off prizes and introduced briefs acts between dances, such its humorous skits and a haupia eating contest. Past Hui O Hawaii club presidents and members were asked on stage to describe the differences between the Luau’s humble beginning 50 years ago, and the extravagant performance it had evolved into. Chutam Wu hits attended all 50 luaus at OSU, and received a round of applause when the spotlight found him in the crowd. Han closed the show by thanking the countless volunteers who made the event possible, including the Island coordinators, dance instructors, and the fifty-plus dancers that entertained the sellout crowd.

They began their ' ason . January ranked 16th in the nation and finished in June with a 43-16 overall record, one of the best records in OSu history. Along the way, several players earned high acclaim with their incredible plays. At their first game of the season the Beaver women were 3-1 at the UC Santa Barbara tournament in early February. Although they lost some games a few weeks later, by the end of the month the Beaver luck had turned around. At the Palm Springs Classic sophomore shortstop Mia Longfellow hit two home runs to secure OSU’s win in a close game against Mississippi State. Their winning streak continued through games against Portland State, UCLA, the Ducks, Arizona, Arizona State and Cal. However, in mid-April OSU lost to Stanford, which ended their winning streak at an unheard of 24 games. During that winning streak, sophomore pitcher Briannc McGowan was named both Pac-10 Softball Pitcher (for the week of March 15-21) and USA Softball National Collegiate Player (for the week of April 4-10). By May 15th the Beavers had shown that they could both win some and lose some but still end up on top when they came from behind to win the Pacific-10 Championships. Although this ensured them a spot in the Regional Championships, a loss to DePaul University kept OSU softball from the Super Regional. OSU finished the 2005 season with one of the most impressive season records in university history. OSU was also honored to have Brianne McGowan named OSU’s first ever Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year.

Put on during Mom’s Weekend, students, mothers, and grandmothers, as well as some dads, gathered in the MU ballroom to see what the talented OSU designers’ creations. With women’s styles ranging from floral patterns to flowing dresses and frilly trim, as well as casual Bermuda shorts to sexy lingerie, there was something for everyone’s taste. Five male models made the western look fashionable and rocked aviator sunglasses with their cowboy hats. Khakis and flip-flops were the new surfer inspired look for men as well. The models strutted down the runway to techno beats and rock and roll, and the crowd was supportive of the styles. The dynamic and somewhat competitive attitudes of the models created tension. During the middle of the show, the MCs held a Dance Like Richard dance off, showcasing one of the model’s eccentric and unique dance moves. The show was another success for the DHE department as well as a fun experience for students and their moms.

They were .til here to celebrate Mom’s Weekend 2005 which was held April 29th-Maylst. The tradition of Mom’s Weekend started in 1924 ;is a one day event to honor women. The theme was “Enchanting” and it was just that. The weekend kicked off on Friday with a pottery sale, dinner with Mom in the Memori.il Union, .in ice cream social, and tours of the Wave Research Lib and the Radiation Center. The highlight of Friday, however, was Bill Cosby’s performance at Gill Coliseum. Dressed in OSU sweats, the 67-year old comedian perfomred in front of a sold-out crowd. Cosby spent most of the evening making a tribute to moms and relating stories from his own life. “Thanksgiving is no longer fun,” he said in a story about the holiday, “my daughter only cooks once a year and makes me test it.” In keeping with the “enchanting” theme, the Memorial Union was decorated with balloon arches, silver stars, and chiffon fabric. Carriage rides were also free to any mom who wanted one. Saturday brought the Mom’s Weekend breakfast, the Renaissance Fair in the Quad, Mom I Look Alike contest. Tea with Mom, a fashion show, and All University Sing, a program put on by the Interfratemity Council. As Mom’s Weekend came to a close on Sunday, moms and their children enjoyed breakfast in the MU and a silent auction.

The April 30th event was also the grand opening of the College of Veterinary Medicine’s newest edition: the S14 million Lois Bates Acheson Veterinary Training Hospital and Small Animal Clinic. The new small animal teaching hospital is just the first phase of an ongoing project to expand and update the College of Veterinary Medicine’s program. Before the new edition, students in the Vet Med program had to split their time between the facilities at OSU and those at Washington State. With the new edition however, OSU’s Vet Med students can now spend all of their time in Corvallis as they train to become veterinarians. The new teaching hospital, built with both public and private funds, provides the latest technology to students. The new facility also allows the college to increase their student enrollment by thirty-three percent. Future classes of the College of Veterinary Medicine will be able to work alongside leading researchers in the new small animal teaching hospital. The Pet Day festivities were more than a showing of the latest things the Vet Med program has to offer. The day began with a 5-K fun run for twoand four-legged creatures. Throughout the day pets and their owners were able to enjoy games, a cat photo contest, a dog obstacle course, and the popular “ask a vet” program. For those without pets of their own there was plenty of information available about adoption, as well as pet care. As Dr. Howard Gelberg, dean of the College said, “Pet Day activities are always fun for the whole family, and give us an opportunity to celebrate the human-animal bond.” In the end. Pet Day at OSU came down to one thing: “How much is that dog cat goat horse rabbit in the window?” Story by Colleen Moran Right: This dog enjoys a classic game ot fetch on the intramural fields.

While OSU’s men’s golf team was not able to extend their success from the fall season i into the spring, they did prove that old saying, “It’s not how much you win, it’s how you play the game.” Despite a disappointing season, these men carried themselves with class. At the beginning of the spring season OSU was ranked 42nd in the nation with a .644 rating. The junior varsity team 1 then finished fifth at their season opener at the Washington Winter Championship at the end of February. Senior Cameron MacKenzie who finished seventh with a 6-over 150 led this young team. The varsity team tied for 11th at their season opener, the Ashworth Collegiate in California with a team total of 892 at the conclusion of the three round game. In April the team looked to improve their standings at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate competition. The OSU men were able to rebound from a rough start to place 13th with a three-round total of 907. Despite the rough weather, a rising star on the men’s golf team was born. Sophomore Mitch Gillis earned his second-best finish of 13th overall at the competition, where he carded a 5-over 221. At the conclusion of the Pac-10 Championships at the end of April, the OSU men’s golf team placed 10th with a linal score of 1,461 after the four-round game.

After one of the best seasons in years, the team continued to do well in the Series. In their final game, the Beavers were set against the Baylor Bears. They started off well, capitalizing on walks from the Bears. But by the fifth inning, the Bears moved ahead, foreshadowing what was to come in the rest of the game. While the Beavers pulled ahead in the sixth inning, they didn’t bring in the runners they needed to win the game. In the tenth inning, the Beavers lost to Baylor 4-3. The day after the game, the Beavers were met with a happy homecoming from fans who had cheered them on through the season. A celebration in Goss Stadium capped off the most successful season of baseball for Oregon State in years. The 2005 Beavers set a school record for wins in a season, which propelled them to OSU’s first College World Scries since 1952. Although the final loss was disappointing, it was a season full of victories, and the team and their fans celebrated the accomplishments in the afternoon at Goss Stadium.

Dedicated. And the women of OSU’s crew team were nothing if not committed to their sport. ■ Although their Pac-10 season opener in late March did not end as well as they had hoped, the ladies of OSU still made sure Washington State had to fight for their win. This was not a team who backed down from competition. That determination led to some spectacular performances on April 3rd at the San Diego Crew Classic. It was there that the varsity eight team beat out Notre Dame and Texas for their first win of the season. The junior varsity team also won while the novice team gave a respectable performance, finishing third. One thing was clear by the end of the competition: the Pac-10 crew teams were tough competition. A win came down a matter of seconds. All three women’s eight teams gave another great performance in Seattle on April 30. However, it was not enough to edge out the Huskies. The OSU junior varsity team came the closest to a win over the University of Washington, but the Husky boat pulled ahead to win the meet by a second. At the Pac-10 Championships in mid-May the Beaver teams gave it their all in their final competition with the novice eight team capturing the bronze.

Photo submitted by Sports Information Our crews certainly have the potential to battle the top crews in our conference. -Coach Fred Honebein In crew, medals are won and lost by mere seconds. A team’s starting time can make all the difference. Unfortunately for Pac-10 competitors, the OSU men’s crew team made sure every race came down to a matter of boat lengths. In their first competition, OSU beat Michigan in California at the Windermere Crew Classic. The varsity eight team, because of their quick start, helped the Beavers gain a two second lead in the lirst 500 meters of the race. On April 30, OSU tried their best to win over the Huskies in Seattle. The varsity eight team stayed on the Husky boat’s tail for the entire race but ended up three seconds short of a win. Even though the Beaver men came home without the gold, they proved to be one of the Pac-lO’s strongest teams as all three OSU boats finished no more than ten seconds behind the UW boats. By May 16 and the Pac-10 Championship Regatta, the OSU team had built a reputation based on dedication and hard work. All season long the men had focused on improving their own team and letting events take their course during competition time. They had also spent long hours on the Willamette River working to improve their speed during their twice-daily practices. When the Pac-10 championships rolled around, the top teams were so close in their rankings that OSU was No.4 in the Pac-10 and No. 10 in the nation. At the championships, the OSU men pushed through the tough competition, with the novice eight team winning third. The varsity eight gave it their all in a battle for second against Washington and Stanford, but in the end were narrowly pushed out of the medals. All in all, the OSU men's crew team upheld the Beaver name throughout the season, proving that sometimes, the underdog is the one you need to watch out for.

Photo submitted by Sports Information Commencement Chris Johns has been all over the world as a photojournalist, an author, and, most recently, the editor in chief of National Geographic. Oh, and don't forget—a 1975 graduate of Oregon State University. Oregon State University has a habit of turning out graduates who are prepared for a diverse future. Of the record 4416 students who became alumni at the June 12 commencement, 125 received two degrees, while five students received three. The ceremony was held at Reser Stadium, where students and their families listened to speakers President Ed Ray, 2C04-2005 ASOSU President Kristen Downey, and president of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education Henry C. Lorenzen. During his address, Johns recalled his own experience at Oregon State’s commencement, where he took photos for the Albany Democrat-Herald. He focused on the commitment to service of leaders such as Nelson Mandela, and urged the audience to approach their lives with similar do what you can attitudes. The idea isn’t a stranger to OSU students. Ed Ray awarded Ann Streissguth, a 1954 graduate, with an honorary doctorate for her leadership in research on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The ceremony included both undergraduates and graduates, which was a return to tradition after years of dividing the ceremonies into a morning and afternoon ceremony. But there were many things that stayed the same—students received their official diplomas as they walked across the stage. Oregon State University is one of the few university left that continues to hand students their official diploma at commencement. Because of the number of graduates and the precision it takes to award each student the correct diploma, the ceremony lasted over two hours. Students spent the time examining their new degrees, chatting on their cell phones, and searching the crowd for their family and friends. When the afternoon was over, the Class of 2005 left Reser Stadium-and Oregon State University--in search of new places to conquer.

From dances to football games, the Chi O’s were always having fun. They started the year out right by pledging over 21 new members, and were thrilled to welcome them into the sisterhood. Fall term gave members many opportunities to bond at football games, Chi O Christmas, Big Lil Sis Night, and IM sports. Amid all these activities, the chapter thrived while fulfilling their six purposes: scholarship, sisterhood, campus activities, career development, philanthropy, and high standards of personnel. The sisters of Chi Omega made memories each term. During Winter term they held their annual White Carnation Dance. During Spring term they enjoyed their Barn Dance, and their philanthropy, which benefitted the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Greek Week provided the perfect opportunity for Chi Omegas to show off their competitive drive and pride in the OSU Greek community. The sisters all participated in several OSU activities including Blood Drives, Relay for Life, Beaver Dam and Homecoming. Chi Omega members continue to build strong bonds of sisterhood during their collegiate days, making friendships that will last a lifetime.

Sorority members were involved in Panhellenic, The Daily Barometer, University Honors College, the honor societies of Phi Kappa Phi and Kappa Omicron Nu, and community volunteer efforts. Intramural sports served as a life force for Kappa Kappa Gamma, which yielded teams in flag football, basketball, volleyball, and softball. Kappa Kappa Gamma began the fall with a strong rush that welcomed eighteen new pledges into the Kappa Kastle. The freshman class performed “Hercules” with Sigma Phi Epsilon in the All University Sing competition. Spring brought the annual Kappa Klassic, a gold tournament whose proceeds were donated to the Corvallis Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence.

Fall term was filled with a frantic rush, where Pi Phi’s welcomed many quality women to the house. Football games were a great weekend activity to attend to show their Beaver spirit. Winter term went by quickly. Pi Phi’s enjoyed the unusually nice weather, where many afternoons were spent rclacing in Chintimini Park playing volleyball and listening to music. Everyone got their chance to wear formal attire at Beau and Arrow, which was the main event that Pi Phi held spring term. Pi Phi’s rocked the stage with their lip-sync performance at Mick Rock and supported various other philanthropies. Pi Phi’s welcomed their moms to Corvallis during spring term to participate in the many events, with their main priority being Sing. At Sing, they performed “Paint Your Wagon” with Chi Phi, and all of their hard work was appreciated and enjoyed by the moms. Their second annual philanthropic Pi Fly also took place spring term in the MU Quad. Even though the weather many have been a bit rainy, they still had a great time supporting the local SMART program. They celebrated an amazing year with their annual Barn Dance, which was filled with plenty of laughter and good times. The school year was filled with excitement; Pi Phi participated in many events and enjoyed each other’s company and all of the OSU events.

Excelling in leadership, academics, sen-ice, and intramurals they set a high standard for future generations. Recruiting twenty-four men this summer and then winning the all Greek Football Championship was a great way to kick off the year. Hosting an alcohol awareness seminar for all Greek members set the tone for a fun, yet safe New Year. Campus involvement continued to be strong with members holding leadership positions in multiple student organizations and clubs outside of the fraternity. Sigma Alpha Epsilon continually dominated in philanthropic events. Their annual philanthropy Miss Minerva raised $2,200 for the Children’s Miracle Network. Under the leadership of President Brice Nesbitt, Vice President Doug Elder, Treasurer Chris Riper, and House Manager Kelly Brown Sigma Alpha Epsilon continued to hold itself to a higher standard.

Their hard work during recruitment paid off once again, because they achieved their membership quota for the second year running. I hey finished the school year with 80 members, making it one of the largest sororities on the Oregon State campus. Even with such a large membership. Sigma Kappa maintained a strong sisterhood by having sisterhood activities at the house at least once a week, and holding weekend-long retreats a few times a year. They held their annual barn dance in the fall at Peavy Lodge, and a formal dance at the end of winter term at the Corvallis Country Club. Sigma Kappa participated in many philanthropies this year including Sigma Chi’s Derby Days, Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s Miss Minerva pageant, Delta Delta Delta’s Recess, and Kappa Delta’s Mock Rock. Sigma Kappa held their annual lollipop sale in November with the sales proceeds going to gerontology research. They also held their annual Sidcout volleyball tournament, with the proceeds going to benefit Alzheimer’s research. Many fraternities and other members of the community participated, which made the tournament a huge success. Sigma Kappa also participated in All-University Sing this year, collaborating with members of Delta Upsilon Fraternity to perform songs from the famous musical Annie on Mom’s Weekend. As Sigma Kappa wrapped up another school year, they looked forward to what 2006 will bring. Sigma Kappa|303 Sigma Phi Epsilon Sigma Phi Epsilon strove to represent the best of the Oregon State Greek system in 2C03 by-excelling as leaders, scholars, athletes, and gentlemen. Athletics, academics, and philanthropy were three of the many areas of success. Winning Fall term grades and athletics were accomplishments for Sigma Phi Epsilon. Their philanthropy, Youth Aids with Wynonna Judd, raised over $3,000 for the program. Bringing in a solid pledge class of 23 members during formal recruitment, as well as ten informal rushees during Winter term, Sigma Phi Epsilon's drive for excellence was merely a continuation of the tradition of leadership within the Greek system as well as the OSU campus.

In 2C05 they recruited eight men through summer and formal recruitment. ATO, which is known as the “Leadership Development Fraternity encouraged its members to strive for success in athletics, academics, and positive activities. Its members were involved in the Interfraternity Council, various honor societies, the Barometer staff, professional internship programs, as well as several intramural sports each term. During winter term, ATO’s second-annual “Cuts for a Cure” philanthropy raised over $3,000 for the American Cancer Society. Willing members of the house auctioned off their hair to sororities, who eagerly cut and styled the ATO’s hair however they pleased.

The mission of Lambda Chi Alpha is to offer the best fraternal experience, focusing on personal character development through leadership, scholarship, community service, and positive social experiences. In a very real sense, this Fraternity created a family relationship among its members. It brought together a group of young men who were congenial, loyal, and helpful to one another during some of the best years of their lives-the college years. Thus Lambda Chi Alpha offered its members the nearest possible equivalent to home that could be found on the OSU campus, and such close ties often bind men together in friendships for life. Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity is one of the largest men’s gener.il fraternities in North America with more than 227, COO initiated members and has held subsidiaries (called chapters) at more than 300 universities.

Since they reopened in 1997 as OSU’s first voluntary alcohol-free fraternity, Kappa Omicron excelled in pursuit of excellence and made an irrefutable impact on the Greek community. Unafraid to take a new approach to achieving success, “Fijis were named the best fraternity on campus in 2001, 2002, and 2003. The members attained excellence each and every term. They were required to have a minimum 3.0 Mouse Grade Point Average. They achieved and exceeded this, as Fijis were a constant fixture on the list of top Fraternity GPAs. While Phi Gamma Delta emphasized the hierarchy of Scholarship, Fraternity, and Self (respectively), members were much more than academics; the Fijis of OSU held leadership positions all across the campus. Not only that, they encouraged community service. Members averaged over thirty hours each term through such activities as coaching youth sports teams, helping with high school leadership organizations, as well os their annual “Terror on 23th Street Haunted House which, in 20C4, raised over 15,000 pounds of food for the Linn Benton Food Share. With alumni ranging from All-Star athletes to distinguished scholars-as well as a US President, the Fijis have shown that they are as successful as they are united: the friendships made at Phi Gamma Delta will last a lifetime.

The elected and appointed officers comprise the officially recognized student government at OSU. The ASOSU represents students at the campus, community, state, and federal levels on issues that directly influence the quality of. and access to, post-secondary education. The ASOSU provides numerous opportunities for leadership development and professional experience in areas as diverse as political organizing and other forms of social activism. Problems continuously arise regarding student representation, educational costs and other forms of political and social injustice that requite attention from students. It is these areas that the ASOSU strives to advocate on behalf of the best interests of all students of OSU. In 2004-05 the Senates enacted legislation to create a Student Parent Committee and establish Senate confirmation of judicial Board appointments. The Senates also supported the creation of a veteran's memorial and approved the student incidental fee. The executive branch, led bv the ASOSU President Kristen Downey and Vice President Dan McCarthy, worked towards and won concrete victories for OSU students. The ASOSU fought for and won back the tuition plateau, which is scheduled to be reinstated in fall 2005. The tuition plateau is a tool that enables students to receive a well-rounded education by taking classes outside of their major, exploring them to new educational avenues. With the states disinvestment in higher education I am happy to see that OSU is prioritizing students, said ASOSU President Kristen Downey. I he ASOSU Disabled Student Affairs Task Force effectively won the relocation of wheelchair accessible sensors at the MU to better serve the University's disabled students. The ASOSU Women's Affairs Task Force won increased blue lights to increase campus safety.

Their year-long journey was arduous, trying at times, but the result was that of glorious near-perfection. T heir efforts culminated in a first place certificate for General Excellence from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, beautifully mounted in a fine mahogany frame. Each weekday, an army of 8- to 12-page newspapers, 10,000 strong, were delivered to Barometer boxes across campus and around the Corvallis community - not simply because their advertisers would sue them for breach of contract if they didn't, but because their almost animalistic desire to disseminate for campus the latest local, state, national and international news could not be denied. T heir coverage of Beaver sports, arts and entertainment, and a slew of unique and often inflammatory commentary was presented to broaden the mind of their deliciously impressionable readership in an entertaining and informative, yet rapidly dying, dinosaur of a medium — print journalism. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and truth. Barometer staffers held themselves to the highest standards of journalistic virtue. And like the soldiers of Sparta, their legend will live on through the 152 archived editions that may turn yellow and frail like a jaundiced child, but will forever stand the test of time and the impending nuclear winter that the future almost certainly holds for us.

Approximately 300 proposals from colleges around the nation were sent to NASA's Reduced Gravity Office for review in late 2004. The OSUMF T and their partner team, the Western Oregon University Microgravity Flight Team were accepted once again to participate in the 2005 program. As two of 50 teams invited to participate, it was quite an honor. Congratulations OSU-WOU MFT 2005 A few of the financial supporters were the Oregon Space Grant. Colleges of Science and Engineering, the Departments of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, and the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The research completed on the aircraft was unique and world class. Students involved in this team project were able to experience every aspect of a real world engineering project: proposal writing, hypothesis testing, designing actual components, testing, cost effectiveness. public presentations, team dynamics, and data analysis. Some team members were offered jobs and internships because of the experience. The project, entitled Physics Feasibility Test of a Zero Criticality Rotating Fluidized Bed Space Reactor. was an experimental program that will investigate the operation of a half scale model of a high-temperature, high-pressure helium space reactor. The OSUMFT will conduct initial testing of reactor startup sequences, and the WOUMFT will conduct testing of reactor shutdown sequences. 324 □ 0 r g a n i z a t i o n s Story submitted by OSU Microgravity Flight Team Left: The 2004 OSU MFT meets Bill Oefelein.

MBA Student Code of Conduct and .Ethics We. the students of the Master of Business Administration program at Oregon State University, are a proud community of long tradition and honor. We pledge to conduct ourselves with honor, integrity and dignity, both during our studies in this MBA program and in our subsequent leadership roles as alumni. We put forward and stand by the following codes of conduct and ethics in the interest both of being part of a stronger collegiate community and a stronger professional community after we graduate. Article One - Expectations of Academic Honesty As MBA students, we are fully committed to the specific policies and broader concepts of academic honesty held at Oregon State University and throughout academia. Our work, whether done individually or through group activities, must not be accomplished through dishonest means. These include, but are not limited to: plagiarism, willful misrepresentation of sources, and unethical assistance or input from unapproved parties. Students who commit such infractions rob themselves, and past, present and future MBA classes, of the honor and integrity that we all demand. Other students or faculty who learn of these infractions are expected and encouraged to notify the appropriate professor immediately. As MBA students, we support those who fulfill their duty bv alerting faculty to any incidence of academic dishonesty. Any student accused of academic dishonesty is assumed innocent until proven guilt)'. The student should be afforded full due process, including the right to confront his her accuser at the appropriate academic hearing. Article Two - Expectations of Personal Conduct No student, faculty member or staff member who is associated with this MBA program shall treat another with intentional disrespect. Our MBA community should be a safe haven for its students. We will not tolerate harassment, discrimination, or incivility' of any sort. We compete with each other by fulfilling and exceeding course requirements, not by attacking one another personally. As MBA students, we expect high standards of personal conduct from all of us. We expect these same high standards from MBA faculty and staff in their relations with MBA students and colleagues, both in the classroom and in any other arena where authority is used or present. Article Three - Expectations of Academic Quality We as MBA students arc quantitatively judged by grades and minimum CiPA requirements. We expect each member of the MBA program to push himself or herself, to consistently demonstrate their personal best throughout their MBA experience, and to take the personal initiative to show comprehensive improvement by graduation. We as a communin’ will be judged by the performances of past graduates: strong MBA graduates will make our OSU MBA brand a respected and valuable one for years to come. Unprepared MBA graduates hurt the very fabric of everything our program has been building on since its inception in 1965. Article Four - Expectations after Graduation While our MBA academic journey ends at graduation, our bond as OSU MBA alumni lasts all the days of our lives. We pledge to continue to support the OSU MBA program by staying connected, supporting future classes and visiting campus whenever possible to share our experiences and to inspire future graduates. By a vote of 44-1, the MBA Students have voted to adopt the new MBA Code of Conduct and Ethics. VLasie Jarvi Academic Advisor 334 H Organizations The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program in the OSU College of Business made a significant contribution to the education of future business leaders. The OSU MBA Association (MBAA) was an elected group of students representing the proud community of MBA students in Corvallis. The primary mission of the MBAA was to foster a spirit of academic community and to facilitate interactions of students with their peers, faculty and the business community. Involvement in the association provided students with opportunities for personal and professional growth. I'he MBAA sponsored events including speakers’ forums, peer seminars, informal luncheons with business leaders, and faculty student socials. Recently, the Association facilitated donations of clothing to a local charitable organization and financial contributions to the Tsunami Disaster Relief I;und to help victims in damaged areas of Southeast Asia. Over several months, the M BAA spearheaded efforts to draft and support official Student Codes of Conduct and F.thics binding all OSU MBA students to personal and academic excellence and honesty. The new ('odes were passed by an overwhelming vote in February 2005. As a result, the MBA program at OSU joined a select and elite group of business programs nationwide with customized Codes of Conduct and Ethics.

The all-women house included all ages, although a majority- of the house were newcomers to Oregon State. Daily duties, house dinners and meetings, social events, wonderful food, intramural sports, and traveling trips were all a part of living in the house. At Azalea, a general rapport and respect between all 55 members was expected and constantly encouraged. The communal living aspect, designed to help members learn to work, live, and have fun together was a learning experience for all. The executive council and co-op director facilitated many of the routine functions of the house. Returning members took pride in initiation week, recognizing all the new members and officially inducting them into the house. Though all members were prompted to get involved in house activities and events, the ladies were also encouraged to extend their work and service outward into the OSU and surrounding communities. The year was one of hard work, fun, and most of all, growth in friendships. Azalea House doors were always open to visitors and new members. I'he family grows each year in hopes that the lessons learned through communal living will enable members though their lives to make a contribution wherever their journey takes them.

In my two years as the editor of the Beaver Yearbook, I’ve learned so much, worked with a dedicated staff and made great friends, and in the end, we came out with a really great book that I hope everyone at OSU will be able to enjoy for years to come. This book’s for you! I would especially like to thank my staff, who wrote and photographed this book into existence. Frank, Kami, Lois, and the rest of the Student Media staff also deserve thanks for their constant support. Brad, thanks for keeping me on track and answering all of my questions. And what would my time have been here without Kevin, Lea, and Katrina? You guys made coming into the office fun, and helped me relax when we weren't working on the book with marathon game nights. Thank you. ...And the Squeaver lives on. samantha hudson editor-in-chicf Having the opportunity to be involved with OSU Student Media for two years has been a great experience. The Beaver has been such a big pan of my life. I want to thank Frank, Lois, Kami, and everyone else who worked behind the scenes to get the book to print. I’ll have a hard time finding such friendly and helpful people as the people here. Also a special thanks to Samantha, Lea, and Katrina for your countless hours in the office, both productive and not. And finally, let it be known that I, the business manager, beat the editor at Scrabble not once, but TWICE! 396 ■ Staff kevin irish business manager Staff katrina murphy photo editor I will never forget when the Beaver flew Hank, Sam, G. Raju, Paul, and I to Arizona to attend press conferences, Beaver Tailgaters, and other events leading up to the Insight Bowl. Not to mention being on the field for the entire game to shoot pictures and to see our OSU football team defeat Notre Dame with a 38 to 21 win! The experience was amazing! Other memorable events at the Beaver was Samantha and Kevin's attempt at a squeaver pinata and the flash box for portraits blowing up at a nearby sorority house. Thanks everyone at Beaver for such a fabulous year! This year was a new experience for me. It was my first year balancing photography for the yearbook and editing as well. It taught me plenty about time management! I couldn't have done it without my partner in crime: Katrina. I also want to thank Sam and Kevin for being awesome editors and wonderful friends. Love you all! lea mevey photo editor Staff ■ 397 PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF Colleen Moron looks over old yearbooks for design ideas. Noi pictured: John Castle, Courtney Dahl, Lindsay Jansen, Tonva Malone, Wojtek Rajstki, Paolo Tomka The 99th volume of The Beaver Yearbook was created by a staff of Oregon State University students and was printed by Taylor Publishing Company in Dallas, Texas. Brad Bieber was the Taylor representative and Robert Porter was the Taylor Account Executive. The Beaver was a fall deliver)- book and sold for $40 throughout the 2003 school year. Cover: Cover binder board was 160 point with orange and silver foil emboss. Paper: All inside pages of the book were printed on 100 coated white paper. Typography: All body copy in the book was Garamond. Captions and headlines, as well as photo and story attributions, were in Avant Garde. Design: Layouts were designed by production staff members with input from the Editor-in-Chief. Production staff members were also responsible for the stories and captions. The endsheets, cover, opening, division, and staff pages were designed by the Editor-in- Chief. Photography: All student portraits were taken by Photo Staff members with a digital Nikon D1C0. The majority of the photography in the book was done by members of the photography staff using Nikon DIOOs. All candid photos found on pages bought by Greek houses, other living groups, or organizations were submitted by representatives from their group. Computers: Cover, endsheets, and all pages were created on Power Mac G4s using Quark Xpress 4.1, Photoshop 7.0, and PageMaker 3.0. The Beaver is the official yearbook of Oregon State University and is part of the Oregon State University Student Media. The Editor-in-Chief was Samantha Hudson, the Business Manager was Kevin Irish, the Photo Editors were Lea McVey and Katrina Murphy, and the Adviser was Frank Ragulsky. Revenue for the production of the book was obtained through book sales and the sale of pages to Greek houses, organizations, and on-campus living groups, as well as advertisements sold by Educational Services, Inc of Atlanta, Georgia. 400 ■Colophon
