The class of 1921 met at the large tree and dedicated it and the surrounding ground as sacred to their class and to all seniors in years to come. It was a tradition that each senior class would bury something beneath the tree, not to be unearthed until their class reunion. The tree, once located on the grounds outside of Benton Hall, is now just a memory. Photo from 1927 Beaver Yearbook Opening .

Staff members helped each student by giving them the resources and assistance they need to become part of the OSl' community. SOAR was an excellent source for any possible question or snag that students may have encountered along the way. Connect week was one of their most well-known activities. It occurred one week prior to the start of fall term. This year it lasted the week of Sept. 20-25, 2005. Rick DcBcllis, an orientation program organizer, mentioned that Connect week actually lasted more two and a half weeks instead of one. This was due to the fact that there was a program called Footsteps that occurred before Connect week. Footsteps was an organized trip that allowed freshmen and transfer students to meet new people while participating in a fun and exciting atmosphere away from the campus. This years trip was white water rafting. This year SOAR also worked with downtown businesses, public safety, and hundreds of students and faculty volunteers to “...Roll out the orange welcome mat, said Marcus Langford, another orientation program organizer. The programs, like Late Night at Fred Meyer, that occurred during this special week gave students an opportunity to connect with incoming students, staff, the OSl’ campus, and the overall Corvallis community. In the end. there were relatively 150-175 programs for new students to choose from. One of those programs was the new student walk. It consisted of students dividing into their particular major anil college anil then walking with one another from the Memorial Union quad to Gill Coliseum, just as they will ilo four years dow n the r« ad during commencement. This new tradition started in 2004 and will continue to occur during every Connect week in the future. I-angford 1 relieved the student walk was a key factor in the first chapter in a student’s book of their college experience. After all, each student might as well start out with one fixrt ahead.

After more than 14 months of construction noises and anticipation forming, Reser was at last raised and ready in time for the for the start of the 2005 football season. There were several reasons for the renovation. It was declared a necessity for recruitment of future football players anti to give the team the competitive advantage. The new placement of the student section also had the football team enjoying its much louder cheering section. “It brings more excitement to the game, and makes it harder on the opposing team,” said senior receiver Joshua Hawkins. The renovation was highlighted by new orange and black seats, ensuring every visitor faced Beaver Pride. The first 14 rows were reserved for students, anti were prepared to holt! 3,000. Above the student section was the brand new donor section which had 3,500 seats under the cover and 5,000 uncovered scats. The Club I .eve I had 3,600 seats anti gave fans 25,000 square feet of space. In private indoor boxes the Founders l.oge held 200 seats for the University President and other high-ranking community members. The Founders Ix ge had its own wait-staff, foot! anti beverage service, private access to the I )ge Club with a field view, a flat panel television, radio, and press box sound options. The stadium was said to lx one the most state-of-the-art stadiums in the Pac-10 Conference though it still ranked ninth in size among Pac-10 stadiums. Completed, Reser stood ten stories tall at around 150 feet or ten stories. In addition to the 300,000 square-foot stadium expansion, a five-story, 1,000 car. 330,000 square-foot parking structure, which happened to lx- the first in Corvallis, was the largest in Benton Count)’ history. To complete Reser s facelift, a new FieldTurf synthetic surface was added during the spring Reser was originally built in 1953 and had already gone through several modifications through its 52 years at OSU. Its original name was Parker Stadium, in honor of Portland businessman and alumni Charles T. Parker, class of 1907, who headed the fund-raising efforts and played a large role in its initial construction. Hopes were always high for the stadium to seat many more than originally constructed. A quote form the Oct. 1952 Oregon Stater reads, “eventually, the stadium will be enlarged to a seating capacity of around 60,000.” This was a “Raising Reser” prediction 52 years before it actually happened. The stadium was renamed in 1999 after alumni Al and Pat Reser donated a significant amount of money to the stadium. The plaza located just outside the stadium remains Parker Plaza in memory of Charles Parker, and was the location of many pre-game activities. After a short renovation, Reser awaited many winning seasons from the Beavers, as were the 43,000 fans in the stands. Though not as big as other stadiums in the Pac-10, Reser s beautiful new stands had as much spirit as a stadium could handle.

It was a building with high expectations due to the fact that OSl was striving to lx- one of the top 25 engineering departments in the nation. Another goal was to win the Gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design award. In 2005 no school on the west coast had yet received this award. To become a “green” building, construction and design were monitored with great care. I Each aspect was analy zed anil reviewed before it was put into the plan to lx- built. Everything from the materials of the building to the use of alternative transportation such as buses to get there were taken into account to help the building be energy efficient and lxttcr for the surrounding environment. Martin Kelly, a 1950 graduate alumnus for whom the building was named, made the ultimate personal contribution by giving the gift of $20 million to the College of Engineering to help fulfill the dream. That was then matched by $20 million from the state of Oregon and another S5 million in smaller private contributions came in to complete the $45 million project. “During construction, the college set out to make the first appearance a ‘wow’ factor, said Chris Bell, the Associate Dean. “A better environment to work and interact with peers.” The building achieved its “wow” factor with four stories and 153,000 square feet of space. Each floor as a result contained atriums, alcoves and lounges, as well as faculty and student offices. There was also the Ilea fe, another place where people could meet and share ideas. Terri Eiez, Director of Electrical I Engineering Computer Science, believed that collaboration was key to the success of all the programs that were currently under way. Those programs, such as harnessing the ocean’s energy, the creation of transparent electronics and many others, would build a bet-ter future for Oregon and the world. The buildings official grand opening was held on Oct. 29 with a large turnout from the community. People of all ages including students, alumni. Benny, and engineers came to celebrate a momentous occasion in OSl' engineering history.

A mere SI2 could get a person a Friday night that included glitter, glam ami gender. Before the show, the chairs filled up with a chattering, excited audience. Cameras were readied, places were taken, and shocks were in store for the evening. Drag queens were walking around talking with friends, family and new people while the audience waited for the show to start. It was a great opener of what to expect. Senior l.uke Sugie, also known as I.ucilla, was the co-director of the Rainbow Continuum and the former 2003 and 2004 queen. She and Mona, another former queen, honored their memories by hosting this years Drag Competition. A lot of preparation went into the show. The performers had to find clothes that tit and were glamorous while learning the aura of being a woman. Dan Nguyen (Riki) commented that it took four weeks for the trans- formation from masculinity to femininity to become complete. “We have to walk the walk and talk the talk which doesn’t come easily,” he said. l;or the show, it only took about three hours to prepare everybody in their makeup ami costumes for their skits. latcilla and Mona introduced each performer with funny wit and creative outfits, spotlighting the great shows and shocks. Seven people competed on stage for the king and queen of the show. Fach danced and played out their act to the top dance music of the 1990s ami 2005. The crowd responded positively. Dollar bills were flying, a nice tip especially for those that were performing for their first time this year! The king and queen were chosen after each performer presented two separate routines. During intermission, the audience voted on their favorite male and female drag performer. The show then went on to provide more entertaining, somewhat scandalous exhibitions before the crowning. More skin was revealed, a total eye opener for the audience! Towards the end of the night, each vote was taken into account ami totaled to reveal the audience’s love for the 2005 Drag Competition king and queen: Brock and Lady Rcmcdios! What a night students could have for only SI2! Since the Drag Competition was a success, the Rainbow Continuum planned to host a spring drag show where professional drag queens from Portland would perform. Also, other just as enjoyable events promoting the queer pride at OSL' were planned. Story by Izabela Chamot vents . Trot Cio fX audience before introducing the next performer.

These events gave students a chance to enjoy Beaver spirit and participate in competitions of their own. Greek houses and campus residence halls took part in an annual competition of decorating their houses with the best Beaver spirit they could find. Football fields and Beaver pride filled the yards and windows of QSU student living facilities Friday afternoon. In the spirit of I lomecoming students helped to Paint the Town Orange,” the theme of this years Homecoming. Orange and black signs tilled the lawns and windows displaying “Beaver Nation,” “Beaver Believer” and “Dam those Wildcats.” Miniature football games, graveyards, boxing rings and tailgaters were all yard themes. The winners of this year’s competition were Acacia and Pi Beta Phi who created a W ildcat graveyard. It was the traditional football field with the same beaver that occupies the center of Reser Stadium and a boxing ring complete with Benny duking it out with the Wildcat. Another celebration was Benny’s Birthday Bash which was held in the Memorial I'nion quad on Oct. 2. Throughout the quad many of Benny’s fans were able to enjoy the music and entertainment. People cat cake, and t(K k pictures with Benny the Beaver. There were raffles and many activities. People had fun while celebrating 53 years of Benny. A man who had graduated from Oregon State in 1952 said, “Benny used to be so mean looking, and now I l x k at him, wanting to take a picture with him. It’s a wonder what happens over a few years. At Benny’s bash those who came to celebrate were also able to learn about his life, how he became our mascot, and about the changes in costuming. Benny the Beaver was not the first mascot of Oregon State. Instead, a coyote named Jimmy was in fact the first official mascot. A bulldog, who was never recognized as an official mascot. followed him and in 1893 there was an actual human mascot named John Robert Newton Bell who was the team’s most avid fan. In 1945 Benny the Beaver was introduced. Ken Austin was the first student to appear as Benny at an C )regon State athletic event, which was in Sep. 1951. Austin, who graduated in 1953 was recognized as an outstanding student for his sch x l spirit. With time, the Benny costume came to have many faces; in particular an angry face and a calm face. The angry face was for games and the calm one was to interact with his fans. To conclude the week, the Beaver football team t x k on the University of Arizona. The game brought many students, as well as alumni who had attended class reunions, together to cheer on the Beavers. All the festivities created a great game day atmosphere. The football team played hard, making the game close, but in the end lost to University of Arizona 29-27. Story by Vanessa Bosch, Devon Faber and Amy Jack Events i. 7ra( fions brand new look.

Dad’s Weekend started off with a golf tournament at Tryst ing Tree and the comedy show starring Jim Breuer, former cast member of Saturday Night Live, also known as “(ioatboy.” At the beginning of a sold out show, the microphone malfunctioned and Breuer had to improvise with some quick thinking Believe it or not, he used hand puppets! I Ic also mentioned the football team in some of his jokes, but he quickly moved away from that when the spotlight accidentally flashed. Wow, you guys arc intense!” Breuer laughed as he opened up for the rest of the show. The rest of the show was based on Breuer s father and his experience of being a father himself. This allowed the audience to be able to relate and made the laughs just that much more enjoyable. After the show, the laughs continued as dads and their students relayed more jokes to one another. As they left LiSells Stewart (.'enter to go enjoy the night, the audience agreed that the comedy show proved to be the perfect way to kick off the Classic Dads Weekend. Saturday opened up the most opportunities to spend time with Bop, especially with the football game against Stanford. There were plenty of other options for bonding time. The Hot Rod Car Show in MacAlexander Ficldhousc and the Whose Your Daddy?” game show were also good ways to pass the time. Touring the campus was also widely favored. Many dads toured and marveled at the brand new Kelley engineering building Freshman Shelby Ross and her dad. Dave, were happy renting movies, going out to dinner and just hanging out together. Of course, the football game was included in their list of things to do. If renting movies was not on their list, students and their dads could watch “La Bamba or The Motorcycle Diaries, both of which played Friday and Saturday night in the Ml' Journey Room. For those who did not get tickets but still wanted to watch the big game, the MU Commons played the televised game on a big screen. Those who were able to attend the game against Stanford bundled up and enjoyed a Beaver pastime. The hot chocolate flowed as temperatures dropped down into the low 50s. The temperature did not stop diehard Beaver fans from seeing the game through to the end, even if Stanford squeaked by three points ahead to win the game. In the words of senior Kate Drury, Dad’s Weekend rocks my socks off! I lowcvcr. that phrase was not quite as popular as what was overheard both in Rcser Stadium and all across campus. The mantra of the weekend became “Don’t forget dads, we accept cash, check, money order and most major credit cards. ink, wink.

As the days in November grew shorter ami colder, it could only mean one thing: It was time tor the biggest football game of the year. Welcome to Civil War Football 2003. Many Heaver students traveled to Eugene to cheer on their team as more than 200 students camped out days in advance to purchase tickets. One of these Students was senior James Campbell. Campbell and his group arrived on Monday night to start camping out, even though tickets didn’t go on sale until Wednesday morning. Campbell was part of a group of students that organized a list to make sure that nobody could show up in line on Wednesday morning without having to bare the cold. Sure I was the front of the line, but I knew that if I was in the back I would want someone to do the same for me. Campbell said. This meeting of then ranked number 10 Oregon (10-1,7-1) and Oregon State (5-6. 3-5) was the 109th time the two teams played each other. Since 1997, the home team has won every game and that tradition contin- ued this year as the Ducks won 56-14. Sophomore Ryan Gunderson got his first college start and completed 22-43 passes for 175 yards. 11c threw one touchdown and four interceptions. His touchdown pass was for two yards to senior Josh Hawkins in the third quarter. The Beavers also scored in the second quarter on a two-yard run by sophomore Yvcnson Bernard. Senior Mike I lass, who going into the game leading the nation in average receiving yards per game with 142.5, had ten catches for 107 yards. This season I lass set a conference record with 1,532 yards and is currently second in the Pac-10 in all-time yards with 3,924. I le is the only player in Pac-10 history to have three 1.000 yard seasons. In school records Hass set the records for career receptions (220) and single season receptions (90 in 2005) and also shares the record for career receiving touchdowns (20). As far as the Civil War g x-s however all I lass hail to say was, everything could have gone better. In other Civil War action, the Beavers won the Fourth Annual Civil War Blood Drive for the third consecutive year. The blood drive, which is sponsored by the American Red Cross anil the Dine Memorial HIixkI Hank, was held Nov. 1-16 at both L'O and )Sl'. The final tally was OSl' 2.673 donors and L'O had 2,220 donors. Story by Amy Welch vents t7ratA onjt Beavers.

The months of January and February were full of events that allowed the community to become a part of the civil rights leaders dream. Speeches, discussions, art exhibits, and a good old-fashioned birthday party complete with cake and ice cream marked his Jan. 15 birth. Kings birthday party, which was held in the Ixmnie B. I larris Black Cultural Center, featured an impromptu discussion which covered a variety of topics for participants to ponder while they enjoyed the birthday sweets. One of the primary goals of the evening was to motivate the audience to start making positive changes in the world through peace. Kings original message of equality through non-violence was also frequently covered. Speakers used historic and current examples to promote their messages. “Katrina gave a lot of people a wake up call. I low do we turn our feelings into something that will create change? Larlean Wilson Huey from the I'jima education office asked. The importance of knowing black history was also enforced many times. “A lot of our young people don’t know our history, folks who had to struggle don’t pass it down because it’s painful,” I luey noted. “People think what happened a long time ago doesn't affect them. The past has and always will affect the future until it’s dealt with, said senior Lutomia Kuto. An emotional candlelight vigil was held in honor of MI.K on Jan. 16. Participants walked from the Black Cultural Center to the steps of the MU. A photo exhibit from Corvallis featuring freedom marches and fundraising for voter registration in the South taken in the 1960’s tilled the MU Concourse for close to a month as well. The list of other events that were held in the name of Martin Luther King, Jr. this year was impressive, starting on Jan. 9 and going well into February. Finding a way to celebrate his life was not hard to find. C )ther events included art exchanges, book anil poetry readings, prayer services, video presentations, and numerous discussions each hoping to convey King’s message of creating social change and civil rights in our country. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed that, “( )ur lives begin to end the day we become silent alx ut things that matter.” In his memory campus members spoke out about issues important to our lives and hold celebrations every year for him so that we do not fall silent.

On Feb. 13, students from the department of design and human environment showcased their latest fashion creations, all in the name of sustainability. Don’t let the words recycled fashion mislead: these designers could give some of the fashion industry’s biggest names a run for their measuring tape. Repeat Performance: Trash bash featured a runway of designs entirely made of recylced materials. Fach designer had a SIO budget for his or her piece. The low budget led the students to get creative with their materials. The final results included pieces made from bubble wrap, plastic water bottles, business cards anti coffee insulators. Design anti human environment faculty member Mary Pedersen said most of the budget money students had went towards hardware they could not glean from another source, such as zippers ami snaps. Pedersen was the advisor for OSU’s chapter of Fashion Group International, a nonprofit professional association of over 6,000 members. The OSU chapter began in 1991 and was the first of its kind in Oregon. Although Pedersen was the advisor, she was quick to point out that students did nearly all of the work for the Trash Bash. Students took the theme of always recycle to heart ami created high fashion pieces literally from trash. Plastic bag dresses seemed to be one of the themes of this year’s show with everything from black garbage bags to Carl’s Jr. take-out bags becoming halter dresses anil ruffles. The materials they found as well as their environment inspired the student designers. Kendra Thysell designed and modeled the first dress of the night. I ler pink anil black party dress was made out of garbage bags anil tissue paper.

No matter where the raw materials came from, the fashion these student designers were able to create showcased not only their understanding of apparel design, but also their creativity. After all, it takes real talent to create high fashion from lowly trash. Story by Colleen Moran and garbage bags tor her Madonna-inspired creation.

To help support the nations blood supply, Oregon State University has participated in the Civil War blood drive against University of Oregon for the past four years. ()rcgon State won the last three Civil War blood drives. University of Oregon won the first in 2001. To meet the needs of hospitals and their patients in this region the northwest blood drives needed to collect at least 5,(KK) units of blood a week. C )regon State also held two other blood drives during the year.

All the blood that was collected during the blood drives was shipped to various hospitals in ()regon and southwest Washington to help the millions of patients in need of blood. On their website the American Red Cross stated that there was a person in need of blood every two seconds in the United States. There are eight types of ret! blood cells. AB negative is the rarest I 1 xkI type but O negative has been the most in need because it is the universal type. Type O blood can be taken by any person in need no matter what their blood type. I lowever, every type of blood was needed. Blood transfusions can lx- used for trauma victims due to accidents and burns heart surgery, organ transplants women with complications during childbirth, newborns anti premature babies and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or other diseases such as sickle cell disease and aplastic anemia. This year ()rcgon State had over 3,300 donors with the most during the Civil War blood drive. Each component of blood can be transfused to different individuals with different needs. Typically, each donated unit of blood, referred to as whole blood, is separated into multiple components, such as red 1 1«xh1 cells, plasma, platelets and ervo-precipatitated Al II ', which helps blood to clot. Therefore, each donation can lx- used to help save as many as three lives. All together, this year C )regon State has possibly saved over 10, 500 lives. This was a huge incentive for giving 1 I xk1.

Guests were greeted at the door by students like Hawaiian native Charity Kama, who gave them a hug and a lei made out of shells. After this welcoming, guests walked under an umbrella and into Gill, which looked more like a community center than a Division I gym. The floor was covered with tables topped with pineapples fresh from the islands and photos of I lawaiian sights. The stage, with its bor-der of palm fronds, was ready for the variety show later in the evening. Before the show guests were invited to have a real taste of the islands in the form of pa’ina, or dinner. Members of the I lui () I lawaii club, who spent almost six months organizing the l.uau, spent most of the clay cooking the meal. I lawaiian favorites, such as Kalua pig, shoyu chicken, chicken long rice, and lomi lomi salmon were devoured by the crowd of OSU students, alumni, family and community members. Topping it all off was a dessert of hau-pia, a sweet coconut flavored jello type of treat. Throughout the dinner guests were treated to the sounds of I lawaiian group Pari and the northwest group Kalakoa. The main event of the night was the variety show. ()ver 40 students and community members, including the children of some OSC staff members, spent weeks learning and perfecting the intricate steps of the dances. Mach dance came from a specific South Pacific island and told a story or represented a group. A crowd favorite was the dance of the Maori men of Aotearoa. As the program explained, the Maori men would perform a war chant, or haka, before going into battle. The fierce and intense motion of the haka accentuated the size of the warriors’ Ixxlies while the loud, furious words were meant to scare the enemy. One of the highlights of the night was when the dancers invited some of the men in the audience to join the group on stage and learn a part of the Maori war dance. The audience was delighted when President lid Ray hopped up on stage. While no amount of pleading would get him to remove his shirt, Ray gamely let loose a war cry anti stuck out his tongue. Although the l.uau brought a bit of the islands to Corvallis, it was more than a cultural night for the main landers in the audience. It was a taste of home for members of OSU’s large Hawaiian community. The fixxl, entertainment anti sense of community seemed more like a gathering of a large family than a major college event. The theme of the night was Na Mo’olelo, or “The Stories,” but the real stories were the ones audience memlxrrs told each other for the next week as they reminisced about this year’s I Aiau.

On April 26, students and community members gathered in the Memorial Union Quad and participated in Take Back the Night. The rally, march, and speak out had been bringing people together from varying backgrounds together to raise awareness and speak out against violence toward women, since 2002. Take Back the Night ended a series of events and activities put on by several campus groups and organizations for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. F.rin Garvey, the student in charge of the event, put in five months of hard work to make sure the night would be a success. The night began with a poetry reading by several of the winners from a poetry slam the week prior to the march. The poets expressed their opinions about sexual assault through verbal rants and animated gestures, which set the energetic tone for the rest of the evening. As the sky turned from dusk to black, guest speaker Rachel Griffcn climbed the steps of the MU and told her story of sexual assault and how she worked through her pain. Her ston- made people aware that sexual assault could happen to anyone, and talking about it was the first step to making changes. Griffcn was personally opposed to Sexual Assault Awareness Month because she believed the subject should be talked about all year long. “Healing comes from hearing others speak,” Griffcn said. Griffcn, a college graduate from Denver, Colorado, encouraged the women in the audience to think about the women they knew, and maybe who they were,” and use that as motivation to speak out. With the speaker's inspirational words in mind, the women and men eagerly lit their candles and began their march through the Corvallis streets. As they walked, they chanted in one-loud voice, “What do we want? Safe Streets! When do we want them? Now!” Participants marched together, but for their own reasons. “1 think it is disappointing that females cannot feel safe walking even a block or two at night,” said sophomore Britta Jaques, sexual assault resource advocate for Delta Gamma. She said she participated to help people sec the magnitude of the problem. With a police escort downtown, the crowd marched to the front of the courthouse in order to hold the speak out. It was an opportunity where women and men shared their feelings regarding sexual assault and violence against women. It was also a time for victims to share their stories in a confidential and supportive environment. Overall, Take Back the Night brought a diverse group together to stand up and take action to make Corvallis a safer and more aware community. Women’s Affairs Task Force Director and OSU junior Christine Stephen said, 1 hoped the event would be empowering to women and inspirational for all people.” Story by Christine Jennings-Garant [vents nu Photo by Devon Farber women in the audience to speak out for silenced victims.

'I bis year the tradition continued as hundreds of OSL- moms swarmed into Corvallis to spend the weekend with their students. The Memorial Union Program (Council had arranged a full weekend for students and their moms. From a comedy show to a talent competition to the annual fashion show, there was something on the schedule to suit every taste. One of the highlights of the weekend was the comedy show Saturday night featuring stand-up comedian Jim Gafftgan. Sides were hurting from all of the laughing while Gafftgan performed his signature “Hot Pocket skit about a popular snack food. OSL’ families had the opportunity to view the latest fashions in the Memorial L’nion ballroom Saturday afternoon. Although the room was packed, the models were calm, cool and collected as they dazzled the audience with their professional runway manner that they had been practicing for weeks beforehand. I .east anyone forget the true reason for being a Beaver, the University I lousing and Dining Services put on a special awards banquet. Academic All-Stars, students with a 3.0 or higher GPA and who also lived in student housing, were invited to bring their moms along to a noon banquet on Saturday to celebrate their academic accomplishments. Meanwhile, the Memorial Union quail slowly tilled up with a crowd of students and their moms as well as pass-ersby. The time had come for the mother daughter look-alike contest. The contest has always been entertaining and this year proved to be no different. Judges, along with some help from the crowd, picked senior Mercedes Hartshorn and her mother, 1988 OSL' graduate Karen Bach, as the pair who looked the most alike. I hail no idea who was the mother and who was the daughter, said freshman Mandy Schafer. A mother-daughter game show followed, matching mother-daughter combos against each other for their chance to prove which pair knew each other the best. A mother-son duo also steppeil in this year. Questions ranged from embarrassing moments to birthplace and date. Moms and their students could also be seen around Corvallis, bonding while they pained pottery at The Pottery Place, stocking up on groceries and exploring the weekend nightlife together. By Sunday the time had conic for moms to pack up their cars while their students brought out another week’s worth of homework. The laundry pile might have to wait until the next visit from mom, but the memories of Mom’s Weekend will remain. Story by Emery Garcia.

This year was no different when LaScUs Stewart Auditorium sold out for the All-University Sing. Students showed up with their moms during the Mom’s Weekend rush to see the ladies and gentlemen from various Greek houses compete for the title of Sing champions this year. “This is the first year since 1951 that SING was held outside of Gill ,” said Casey Culham, Sing chair. “I lolding it in the Austin Auditorium in La Sells Stewart Center started out as a tricky endeavor, but it ended up turning out pretty well.” The Kappa Kappa Gamma Phi Delta Theta group rocket! the Broadway musical “Mamma Mia.” In the show, a girl is determined to have her biological father at her wedding; however, she needs to find out which of three men he could lx-. She invites all of the potential men to her wedding. The men arrive to the wedding of the daughter who is about to be married, but they do not know why they have been invited. The songs, all originally performed by the musical group ABBA, were incorporated into this musical. The play debuted on Broadway in 2001, and was a hit among viewers. The show originally opened up in London in 1999, but became such a hit that it was on Broadway ami selling out tickets within three-years. Twelve groups had auditioned for this Sing, with only 10 of the groups filling slots on the cold Friday night. Each of the groups had a different theme-ranging from “Chicago” to “The Wizard of ) .” “Sing is an amazing thing to watch, said RJ Sohler, who performed in “Mary Poppins with Delta Chi and Alpha Phi. “Nothing like seeing fraternity box's dress up ami put on makeup. The other big thing for me is that 1 do it for the moms, especially my own.” The Best Costume award ended up going to the performers of “The Wizard of Oz,” as Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow ami Glenda the Good Witch danced merrily around the center of the stage, singing popular songs from this classic musical. Best choreography went to Kappa Alpha Theta and Sigma Chi, who performed pieces from “Chicago;” The red anti black dresses worn by the female performers added some-great contrast to the already moving melodic lines. The final scores were based on a combination of two separate performances that were performed back-to-back the same-night. “Sing was a huge success this year, said Jenny Kuhn, an event chair. “It was the first year that there has ever been two shows, one at 6 p.m. and one at 9 pm. Phi Delta Theta ami Kappa Kappa Gamma took first place with their performance of “Mamma .Mia, but all of the groups had wonderful performances.

Often that family includes a four-legged creature or two. ()nce a year, however, OSU students can welcome not only their mothers to campus, but their favorite pets as well when the College of Veterinary Medicine throws open its doors for one of OSU’s most popular events: Pet Day. This year marked the 19th year of the Pet Day celebration. The day Ixrgan bright and early with a 5k fun run, open to pets and humans alike. For those who needed to burn off a little more energy, there was a dog obstacle course. Owners were seen encouraging their turn- friends up and down ramps, through tunnels, and over small obstacles. Despite opinions, it appeared that the size of the dog had nothing to do with the case at which they took to the course. Besides various games and contests, such as the cat photo contest, participants were offered wagon ami pony titles, pullet! by the Colleges own Andy, the mascot of the draft horse club. For those without pets of their own, there were plenty of opportunities to pretend they had a pet throughout the day. A petting zoo included horses, llamas, a cow and a goat. Veterinary students were also available to answer any questions. Younger participants could be seen shyly bringing their teddy bears to the teddy bear hospital for a little patching up. Veterinary students put on a grave face as they examined each lx-ar and assured every anxious “parent” that their patient would be just tine with a bandage or two. Children also enjoyed a dunk tank, with interim dean Rich 11 olden in the hot seat, face painting, horseback rides and an arts and crafts lxx th. Visitors could also take a tour of Magruder 1 fall, home to the College of Veterinary Medicine. Inside one could see some of the inner workings of this unique Oregon State program, such as the small animal hospi- tal, the surgery rooms and the stables for the large animals. Whether you had a pet of your own, or you just wished you did, this one day was full of fun events for two and four-legged creatures.

For C )regon State, however, tradition also means celebrating different cultures. For thirty years Sl' has Ix-en home to one of the largest powwows in Oregon. Participants from all over the state come to Corvallis each May to honor their traditions and celebrate their heritage. Of course, the annual pow-wow is also a time to reconnect with friends from other tribes. “The pow-wow is the most appropriate way to show our culture,” said Clarissa Bertha, a graduate student in anthro-pology and vice president of the Native American Student Association. Hath year OSU students and faculty, as well as meml crs of the Corvallis community, are invited to attend the pow-wow and watch as Native Americans from around the state perform traditional dances. Graduate student Renee Roman Nose was one of those who performed at the pow-wow. I ler dance was an evolved version of the women’s traditional Oklahoma dance. I ler elaborate dress was also part of the tradition. She explained that each tribe has their own traditional dances ami regalia. Both of these elements tell a story that has been passed down for generations. The passing down of traditions was a major aspect of this year's pow-wow. Native Americans of all ages represented various trilx-s at the shows in McAlcxandcr Ficldhouse. Whole families drove from all around Oregon to attend. When it came time for the dancing to begin there were categories for everyone. liven toddlers had their own age category, and they took their dancing quite seriously. The annual pow-wow is an important tradition at OSU as it represents the sharing of cultures and people. College is a time for students to step out of what is familiar and to enjoy new experiences. life at OSL’ just would not lx: the same if it were not for our traditions.

After the march through campus, students seeded in their seats on the field of Rcser Stadium while families and friends whipped out their cell phones to find their student in the sea of black caps and gowns. Those students who had decorated their caps, some with designs related to their majors, and others with a personal touch, were easier to spot in the crowd. For a few hours that day it seemed as though all of Corvallis was focused on the commencement ceremonies as camera shutters clicked in the stands and excited students whispered among themselves. The ceremony was broadcast live on ()regon Public Broadcasting. The station began broadcasting OSU’s commencement on the radio in the 1920s. In the 1950s they switched to a televised broadcast. To date, OS I’ is the only Oregon univer- sity whose commencement is televised. While students enjoyed water Ixittles provided by the Alumni Association, speaker Warren Washington gave an address about the importance of good stewardship to the earth. Washington, himself an OSU alumnus, was the outgoing chairman of the National Science board. As one of OSU’s most distinguished graduates he used his bachelor’s degree in physics and his master’s degree in meteorology, both from OSU, to become one of the nation’s leading climate change experts. President lid Ray honored Washington and alumnus limery Castle with honorary doctorates during the ceremony. Alumnus Bernic Newcomb was honored with the Distinguished Service-Award. Newcomb’s name might have been unfamiliar to OSU students, but his nickname was well known across campus. Growing up in Scio, ()re. Newcomb was often known as “Bing,” the name that now graces his namesake cafe in Weatherford Mall. A 1965 graduate from the College of Business, Newcomb co-founded H“Trade, an online stock company. Although the registrar’s office had informed each student earlier in the spring if there was any doubt alx ut their graduating, nervous jitters melted away as one by one students were handed their diplomas from their academic deans. “I did it!” and “It’s got my name on it,” were frequently heard as each college’s newest graduates t x k their first look at that hard-earned slip of paper. As families met their students outside of Rcser after the ceremony, the joy and excitement was palatable: as well as the sense of pride parents and family members had for their new graduates.

Senior guard Lamar I lurd spoke highly of the enthusiastic students. “The Beaver Dam turns the volume in (Jill up at least two or three notches,” he said. The Beaver Dam is still a new fixture at OSU basketball games. It began in the 2000 basketball season with only 25 students who called themselves the “Miller Court Maniacs.” These students hardly stood out against the sold-out crowd. Beaver Dam was designed to act as the sixth man, in addition to the five players on the court. “I don’t consider them separate from the players because just as we have to do our part on the court, we need them to do their part off of the court to help us win games,” said I lurd, “They give the players on the court that extra boost.” Students showed their dedication in many ways. For starters, they wore their Beaver Dam t-shirts proudly. Some students added extra special touches such as players’ jersey numbers, bright orange ImkIv paint, wigs, and costumes. A Beaver Dam executive Board of five students was responsible for recruiting, organizing tail-gaters, and making game reports. The game reports gave students information about the opposing team as well as new chants to get inside their heads. Senior I lenry Kwan looked forward to taunting the other team.

From the moment the players stepped onto the court the Beaver Dam was on their feet cheering along with the cheerleaders and dancing to music coming from the pep band. “The bant! creates a great atmosphere for us to root for the Beavs!” said graduate student I.vnsey Kennedy, a third-year member of the Dam. The basketball players appreciated the Beaver Dam members enthusiasm. It did not take I lurd any time to get into game mode thanks to the support from the Beaver Dam. “When I come out of the tunnel for warm-ups, an extra surge of adrenaline runs through my body.

Just a few miles from the campus lies the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest, a first-rate place to spend a day riding horses, checking out scenic views of the Willamette Valley, or flying down steep trails on mountain hikes. The 11,250 acres of predominantly forested land contains miles of trails to suit anyone’s fancy.

The 9,065 foot volcano offered a little something for everyone, from mellow slopes for the beginner snowboardcr to cliff-drops and bowls for Unseasoned veteran skier. This year Mount Bachelor offered college students a ski two out of three day deal for only S59, making the mountain even more-appealing The OSU Outdoor Recreation Center also offered a shuttle to Mt. I lood Meadows several weekends during the winter to keep students from draining their gas tanks. On the other side of the valley, many students found the costal town of Newport to be an easy to reach weekend getaway. While surfing is an activity not usually associated with the frigid waters along the Oregon coast, a few die hards made their way into the water all year long As surfers who spent any time in the Pacific this year knew, a full ImkIv wetsuit with booties and a hood were a must. Its pretty rough, but the feeling I get when I catch a wave is worth freezing my ImkIv for a few hours,” junior Kaylan Smyth said about his addiction. Another popular outd M r spot was Mary’s Peak. At 4,097 feet this is the highest point in Oregon’s Coast Range and the most prominent peak to the west of Corvallis. On a clear day one can see both the Pacific Ocean and many of the Cascade peaks from the summit. The mountain offers great hiking almost year round, as well as perfect trails for snowshocing during the winter. “Mary’s Peak is probably my favorite spot around,” said Seth Crawford, a sociology professor at )SU. “There are sweet jumps for my mountain bike and 1 can take my dog Berkley out and try anti wear him out,” The list of gtMKl outdoor spots that students used to release pent-up aggression from midterms and projects went on and on. The Outdoor Recreation Center also offered a variety of trips into the great unknown, such as rock and mountain climbing adventures. With rentals for nearly every outdoor activity the Outd M� r Rcc Center was a great resource to get people outside. We could not ask for a better place for a Beaver to play.

The career fair has helped me open my eyes to the different jobs that are out there, especially internationally,” said I leather Hathaway, a senior in speech communication. Though the Alumni Center was far from full during most of the career fairs, employers kept coming back. The tree fairs filled the Alumni Center with companies searching for students from a variety of majors. At the last few career fairs there have been more employ- ers at the fair then students, Coplan said. “The employers want to hire ()Sl' students, that’s why they come here.” ()nc common misconception by students was that companies were only after engineering and business majors. We have a hard time telling people what major we are looking for, said Mark Morrison, himself a 1998 OSl' graduate. W hat we want covers a large variety of majors; there is no right major.” Morrison represented Stockamp Associates, a Portland-based health care systems company, at the career fairs. Booths with eager employers filled the Alumni center, each with something different to offer visitors from candy to job applications. According to Coplan, over a quarter of the company representatives were alumni of Oregon State. They always have a g � od time coming back, most say the school has changed so much, even if they only graduated five years ago,” Coplan said. Students searching for a job also had the option of going to the Career Services room inside Kerr Administration. According to the department motto, this service center allowed for comprehensive services that provide opportunities to develop skills and knowledge for career and life planning. Counselors helped students search for jobs, write resumes, or figure out basic career direction. They even offered mock interviews for those who wanted that extra edge in future job markets.

Pori-land-based indie bands Matinee, Stars of Track and Field, and Swords rocked the MU Ballroom while the crowd soaked up the sounds. The show, which cost S3 for students and $5 for non-student admission was put on to raise awareness about the radio station which has been broadcasting to OSL’ students for 40 years. Though KBVR had to shell out a small amount of cash, when all was said ami done, everyone was very pleased with the event. Representatives from the KBVR-FM station handed out a variety of free things from stickers to pins while the bands wowed the crowd. “The turnout was decent for how early the show was,” commented Nick Failing, KBYR’s specialty music director. “I’m happy with it. liven though all three of the bands were relatively unknown to many of the students in attendance the ballroom was nearly full by the time headline-band Swords came out at the end of the night. Sadly, no serious moshing erupted out of the mellow crowd though those in attendance had a blast. “I heard a little bit of them |the bands] on MvSpace, amL.yeah! shouted Stcn Frick son, a junior in biology. All three bands were growing in popularity throughout the state and brought a good turnout to the MU Ballroom. Corvallis was notorious for its slim live-music scene and KBVR-FM wanted to take a hand in changing this. KBVR began in 1966 after a national search for someone to help get a broadcasting station started at Oregon State. Richard Weinman of Indiana stepped up to the plate and became the founding father of KBVR-FM 88.7 as well as KBYR cable television Channel 26. In its first few years KBVR broadcasting only covered a four to five mile listening radius. Today’s radius is upwards of 40 miles. The student-run station was a great opportunity for students to become involved on campus. It provided professional experience and hands-on training in the field of radio broadcasting and production. KBVR-FM offered a chance for those involved to control the airwaves with the latest indie music, student produced programs, news, anti public affairs. They even offered a variety of paid staff positions for those who wanted management practice. But most importantly, in the words of DJ Lolita, KBYR rocks my socks off!

To some people, it was the sweet smell of disaster, to others it smelled just like home. “The ()Sl' I lorse Center has 65 stalls and pens that require cleaning at least once a day. The manure and dirty heckling (fir shavings) removed from the stalls is contained in a manure compost pile. A local organic farmer from Philomath removes the pile in the summer time and uses it to fertilize his crops.” It is pretty interesting though, if you think about it. Many people go to college to be professionals such as politicians, business managers, mechanical engineers, doctors and lawyers. But during their reign here at ()rcgon State, they were students just trying to make it through sc1kx 1, and sometimes you have to do it any way you can. The Horse Yard Many students attend OSL' because of the Rquine Center. There, students may opt to house their own horse, where stables and food are provided for a fee. “The average horse prcxluces eight tons (16,0(X� pounds) of manure per year! said Elizabeth Rammerstorfcr, an instructor and farm manager at OSL'. Students who kept their horses at the I equine Center were required to be at work at 6 a.m. to do some of the many chores required, like shoveling the manure and putting it onto the compost pile, feeding the horses and general upkeep were also important, and OSL students worked very hard at accomplishing just that. The Dishwashers’ Life Michael Kempton, a junior in business, spent many afternoons cleaning up the dishes inside of the Memorial Union as a dishwasher for the Pangea restaurant. This job, which he held during the spring months of 2006, allowed him to Ik pretty flexible with his scheduling needs.

The answer could lx- surprising. Whether an off campus student commuting in each morning or a student who wanted a dry ride to class on a soggy afternoon, like it or not, the most popular service (at least in terms of use) was Parking Services. Say that name around anyone who has ever driven on campus and responses will range from groan to a smirk to an immediate retelling of their last encounter with the parking police. Almost 8,000 parking passes are issued each year to students, faculty, staff and emeritus. That’s 8,000 people competing for approximately 6.603 parking spaces. ()h, anil on a game day, you can forget about finding a spot. Period. Every student has their own horror story about parking, especially those who lived on campus. “Sunday morning is the hardest,” said sophomore Michael Burns. “Evervone is home from the weekend anil those with gixxl spots aren’t going to drive and give them up for the week.” For those without a parking pass there were two options: pay at one of the few metered spots around campus, including the highly patrolled Bookstore parking lot, or trek across campus each day and save quarters. The bravest among us tix k a chance and parked in the free gravel lot behind Rescr Stadium. The wise remembered to plug their meters. Then there was the issue of price. Students paid SI20 per year for the privilege to park in the green lots while faculty and staff members shelled out $165. The money went to gixxl causes, such as improving parking options around campus and helping to fund the free campus shuttle. The new parking structure by Rcser was a result of funds raiseil by Parking Services, even if students were only allowed to use all four fl x rs on non-game davs. Money issues anil parking did not just revolve around permit prices. Foremost on the minding of a driving Beaver was avoiding a ticket. Indeed, watching an attendant issue a parking ticket was a common sight on campus, one that was met with a grimace: and that was from bystanders. I lowever. Parking Services did have a few beneficial perks. Parking Services employees could be counted on to help jumpstart a dead battery or retrieve keys from a locked car. They also issued free bike registration stickers in an effort to help stolen bikes make it back to their owners. No matter how you look at it, there was no safe ground when addressing such a hot topic as parking on a college campus. Either you found a gixxl spot and were the envy of all, or you got your daily exercise in hiking to and from your car parked in one of the lots on the outskirts of campus. Of course, there was one way around all the parking nightmares: ride a bike. Story by Christine Jenmngs-Garant and Colleen Moran Right: Outside of the OSU Bookstore stands Kirk St. Maur’s “The Quest.

This special concoction conjured wharf side was reason enough for students to make their way to the Oregon coastal town of Newport this year. Not even an hour and a half away, this special little town has been an easy getaway for OSU students and staff since the succulent Yaquina Bay oyster made Newport world-famous in the 1860s. Beyond seafood delights, Newport offered students activities from outside fun in the sand to shopping and aquariums. Though the weather could be described as almost wretched Compared to its Southern California counterpart, a sunny-dav stroll on a Newport, ()regon beach proved just as rewarding. With only 10,000 residents, finding a quiet spot on the beach was never an issue. Several beaches within close proximity to the town offered great camping, surfing, and tide pools galore for study breaks. Despite Newport’s small size. restaurants, museums and shops drew crowds from all over. The small wharf section of town was always a favorite among students for its salt-water taffy and seafood restaurants, including the famous Mo’s. After loading up on chowder, no visit was complete without a good shopping venture for coastal trinkets or a stroll through the Undersea Gardens. Ripley’s Believe it or Not and the Waxworks Museum both provided some unusual entertainment as well. “The wharf is my favorite part of Newport,” said senior Katy Schut'f. “1 love watching the seals.” The Oregon Coast Aquarium finally answered the question on many students’ minds as to what on earth the Chicken Turtle on the promotional billboard outside Corvallis was all about. The 29-acre facility featured more than 190 animal species. The aquarium also has six acres of cliffs, rocky caves, tide pools, nature trails, as well as North America’s largest seabird aviary. “My girlfriend and I go to Newport a couple times a year,” junior Scott Swearingen said. “She loves the aquarium and 1 buy taffy.” A visit to the Yaquina I lead 1 ighthouse on Cape Foul-weather was the perfect ending to any Newport visit. A death that happened at the station in the 1920s lead to its reputation for living haunted. The lighthouse, which was built in 1873, was used as the setting for the “Mocsko Island I jghthouse” in the 2002 film The Ring. It is now unmanned but still operational. For those who wanted outdoor adventure but left their surfboard at home, numerous fishing charters took visitors out for salmon and bottom fishing. (Tabbing anti clamming were also favorites in Yaquina Bay where anyone with a couple of crab pots or a shovel found themselves fat ami happy.

Staff members were quick to point out that anyone was welcome within the center. The APCC, as it was more commonly called, began in 1991. It was originally installed with the idea of a center that would serve as a central part of education about the Asian and Pacific Islander cultures. ()ver time the center has evolved to become one of the most active cultural centers on campus. Ten staff members worked together to take care of the day-today tasks that were necessary to ensure that the center operated smoothly throughout the academic year. Besides general office duties, the center also had a publications coordinator and a community outreach coordinator. both of whom worked to spread the word on campus about the various events that took place at the APCC “I think just from the look of our staff, our staff in not only Asian, we try to make it clear that it [the center) is for everyone ” she said. “We are just letting other people know we are here, but we are not a specific race. Anyone is welcome.” During the 2005-2006 academic year the center aimed to have about six events every term. Some of these events were workshops that covered such topics as the lei making, tai chi anil yoga, while others were more informational, such as the Chopsticks 101 demonstration. Other activities included the cvcr-popular cooking demonstrations, craft nights, dance workshops, movie nights and various forums. Each activity was open to all members of the OSU community and was often springboards for discussions about particular cultural customs and values. In addition to these events, the center was also available to 'ultural yfts cmc c emonstra - dt� OJU other groups, like the Indian Student Association, for their own activities. “The Thanksgiving event and the dead week feast are the biggest events,” said Ancien. ‘The center is just packed, both are really popular.” “Some people come in for projects, or just want to know about what we offer,” said senior Paula Jin, a Korean-American. “A lot of times we will have people walk in to use the computers and hang out because it is a place on campus.” Jin went on to say that the APCC was more than a house; it was a great resource for students and faculty. The center had a kitchen, a library, and a large collection of Chinese anti Japanese novels and even started a library this year for the Department of Kthnic Studies. Most of all, the APCC was a place for students to feel comfortable in, no matter what their ethnicity.

The Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural (.'enter maintained its location in this house on the outskirts of campus. This house was like a home to a lot of the people who use it. Not only diil it have a vast library of African-American topics, but it included a living room, a kitchen, cable television, computers and everything else ti live y ur everyday life... just as if you were at home. The Black Cultural Center, or BCC, was a place where all people were accepted. Race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, even political beliefs diil not matter here. The BCC. served several purposes, said junior Lauren Smith, the internal coordinator for the BCC. “Our primary purpose was to serve as a home away from home and a primary resource for Black students. We served the entire OSU ami surrounding communities by offering various educational opportunities for people to learn alxuit Black culture and social opportunities for people to create a stronger support network. We also served as a recruitment and retention tc x 1 for Black students by actively recruiting anil programming.” The Black Stuiient Union Cultural Center was founded on April 26, 1975. Its name changed to reflect the influence of Lonnie B. Harris, the first director of the Lxlucational Opportunities Program. I le was also a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. The BCC helped put on many nights’ worth of events ranging from activity nights to poetry readings to lx nc marrow drives this year. Their largest event was the annual Black History Month celebration. The celebration lasted for the entire month of February anil included a wide variety of events anil w rksh ps. I ' r example, students were invited to enjoy movies, such as Skin Deep,” in the Memorial I'nion lounge. They were also encouraged to stay after the movie hail finished to join in a discussion alx ut the film content. Black I iistory Month also included plenty of opportunities for students to view a live performance. These performances ranged from theatrical to hip-hop to a pixrtry event with Shihan the Poet. The month concluded with the ever-popular I Icritagc Fashion show in the Memorial Union ball-nx m. The center also held a student power workshop promoting nonviolence to achieve power. Oregon State University is unique in having cultural centers that celebrate and support students from underrepresented ami minority student populations. “I expect to see major changes for all of the cultural centers in the coming years, said Smith. I see us continuing to sene as a priceless resource at OSl .” Story by Michael Lee 'ultural Cuv ’rs Above left: Octavio Cruz-Uribe. a chemical engineering major, in a lighter moment.

This center, open to all students of every race, gender and culture, was open for many hours during the week and had an emphasis on student leadership. The original group of individuals who l egan working for and with the 4C’s began forming the structure of this community in the basement of Milam I (all in 1973. The permanent home for the Centro Cultural went through two different houses before finally making its way, four years after its conception in 1977, to A Street where it still resides. It was easily identifiable as the little white house across from Reser Stadium. Due to growing student needs and involvement, the small house was not meeting demands and they began looking for more room this year and hoped funding would come through soon to help them, expansion was an important and neces- sary goal in order to further strengthen their program, keep students involved, and teach their culture. The center was highly involved in many activities this year. One important aspect of their involvement was their re-investigation into the I ’.S. Senate bill known as MR 4437. This bill proposed adding border protection, antiterrorism and illegal immigration controls to federally regulate incoming immigrants. They worked in rallies and spoke to people about the negativity associated with their culture in this bill, and did their part to work against the bill. Although there were some worries about what this bill could do in the end, external coordinator Carlos Garcia did not believe the bill would pass. Instead, he anil the rest of the community hoped to see “the dream act.” This act would allow the Latino community with easier access to higher education by allowing students who had graduated from high school to go to college for instate costs, as a lot of students were unable to afford out-of-state tuition simply because their parents did not make enough money. In addition to speaking out for their culture, the center was able to bring established playwright I.uis Valdez and native artists to campus to speak to them, and hold nights to cook traditional dishes. Members envisioned the Centro as a place that felt like home. Were student run, we're here for students, said Garcia. “A lot of people feel shy or out of place, but we want to remind them that this place is here for a new cultural experience.” Acceptance, learning and culture were the highlights of the Centro Cultural Cesar Chavez this year. With growing numbers, the center hopes to continue the tradition of their center and promote the prominent culture. Making positive impacts at OSU while maintaining a sense of where they came from was at the roots of the 4Cs and will be for years to come.

They spent the year gathering together and celebrating its history as well as that of their heritage. This year marked the 30 anniversary celebration of the longhouse that houses their cultural center. It has been in the same spot on campus, on 26,h and Jefferson, since 1975. being well established for so long has become an important part of their identity. Due to recent expansion of their programs, they started working on getting a new, and larger longhouse built in the same place in hopes that it will better accommodate them. They hoped that this would happen in the near future. The Ijonghousc prided themselves on Ix-ing open to anyone who wanted to come participate in their everyday activities or special events. They did this by providing a kitchen, computers and couches to create an inviting environment for students, faculty and the community. Their purpose of being open was to bring people together in a positive atmosphere, promote diversity and respect all people, and educate campus of different cultures. They worked to provide educational resources to non-native peoples, as well as provide a welcoming environment and support system to those of native backgrounds. Many events were hosted over the course of the year. These events were based around cultural, academic and social themes. Regular game nights were hosted at the I xmghousc, as well as movie nights. Movie nights were unique anti made special because they brought in actors from the films they watched to speak with them about the film anti the messages they portrayed. The annual pow-wow was also participated in. Another element of the events involved other types of speakers coming to campus. Basket weaving was a traditional practice that most tribes participated in, so they chose to have someone knowledgeable in the licit! come anti present the practice to them. The major event that the Native American 1 xmghousc hosted was the annual spring salmon bake. This involved much time and work before-hand, but was a great celebration. During the salmon bake, they wanted to inform and educate people about salmon anti its significance to native peoples. They prepared the salmon in a traditional way, over a tire pit. so that everyone could enjoy it and celebrate the history it held. Cultural diversity and education was of up most importance this year to the 1 xmghousc. They looked forward to upholding traditions of their people and being involved on campus. They helped to inform those around them by keeping the traditions of their past alive.

Nowhere was this more evident than within the walls of the Pride Center. The center was founded in 2000 as a safe space complete with support services, for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgenderd and allied students. By the 2005-2006 academic year, the Pride Center had grown out of a small office in the Women’s Center and had moved into its very own house on the edge of campus. As a safe space for all, the Pride Center worked to provide resources not only for students, but to also educate the OSU community as a whole about sexual minorities. Besides holding panels and discussions throughout the year the center had an extensive library of over 600 books available for students. The friendly office staff was also available to assist students with locating the right resources or to answer any questions. One of their most visible programs was October Queer History month program. The staff of the center went all out to educate, inform and include all students. Drag queens braved the October winds to walk around campus promoting the annual drag show while Pride ('enter staff members gamely answered each and every question that students asked. Since sexual orientation can be a difficult topic to discuss, each term the Pride Center organized a panel of queer and allied students who went to classes such as 11 DP'S 240 to speak about their experiences. To break the ice anti get the questions flowing the panel often played a round of “Guess the I Ictcro,” asking students to look at the members of the panel and guess which one was heterosexual. After they realized that each panel member looked just like every other student on campus, the classes would open up and a lively discussion would follow. In addition to these events, the Pride Center also made their space available for students on an everyday basis. Anyone was welcome to drop by and use the house for studying, eating lunch or just hanging out in a safe and comfortable space. As the academic year came to a close, the Pride Center hosted their Lavender Graduation. This ceremony was a celebration of both queers and allies alike as thev completed their time at OSU. For those who frequented the Center on a regular basis to those who just stopped by for an event or program, the Pride Center was an inviting place to relax and just be oneself.

We prided ourselves on making a difference in people’s lives by spreading awareness and education regarding many issues such as eating disorders, sexual assault, issues of equality such as racism, sexism and heterosexism. We worked towards the goals set forth in our mission statement, specifically stated: We believe in the infinite potential of women; We choose to lead with passionate purpose; We provide advocacy and resources in a compassionate space; We act to promote the success of all; and We commit to equity, social justice and feminist ideals. Although the Women’s Center is geographically nothing more than a house, it is a house that has become a safe space to many anti a home to many more. Inside the center the most comfortable couches on campus surround the main living space. The walls were decorated with the art of local women; the kitchen was often occupied by folks preparing lunches, making coffee, or having great conversations; anti the library had books from authors like Kate Bornstcin, bell hooks, Marilyn Trench and Betty Preidan, to name a few. The staff of the Women’s Center was one of the most dedicated groups on campus. They were passionate about what they believed to be right and were committed to social justice on many levels. Most of the student staff were actively involved in many other groups on campus as well. The Women’s Center had some of the greatest interns and volunteers on campus as well. These individuals brought a broader perspective of diversity into the center. 'They also brought areas of campus into the Women’s Center that would otherwise never really know alx ut this great little house. In the progress of a year, we became not just great co-workers, but also close friends and a type of family that actually enjoyed spending time together outside of work. Even as the sch x l year came to a close, we already missed those graduating anti moving on to the next phases of their lives. Each of us has been impacted by tin-people we work with anti our lives will never lx: the same again thanks to these wonderful memories. However, more important than all the resources combined and the usual friendly faces, the Women’s Center was a space where many people felt comfortable, welcome and safe. It was often referred to as a home away from home. Although many people come and go over the years, those who have been affected by the Women’s Center in some wax-hold a placed in their hearts for the little blue house.

A decade later, the college established a Depart ment of Agriculture. The department was reorganized in 1908, to become a professional school of agriculture. By 2006 the College of Agricultural Sciences was one of the most successful colleges on campus. The four departments within Agricultural Sciences were animal science, fish and wildlife, bioresearch resources and food science technology. F.ach program had its own specified requirements and classes. The departments also hail various internships available for students to get experience and see what they might be doing for a career. The internship program has excelled throughout the years and became one of the top programs Oregon State is able to offer. The students who came into the College of Agriculture came from a broad range of backgrounds. Many planned to pursue careers in such areas as food science technology and environmental law, to name a few. Students in the College were quite active in what they were studying. There were many different conventions and lectures that were offered for students to better understand what they had learned in the lecture hall. The College of Agricultural Sciences supported over 30 clubs and garnered funds to allow students to attend many activities in and out of state. Many of their outings Consisted of teaching others at academic associations, while also showcasing the fantastic programs available at OSC’s College of Agricultural Sciences. The College also had an ambassador program, whose representatives were dedicated to their work. Aaron Sears was one of those ambassadors. I le helped to plan many of the ambassador activities, and hoped that his efforts would help the College continue to prevail in the future. Another person who has shared his expertise and passion for agriculture with the university for many years was the Dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences. Thayne R. Dutson. He had a huge interest in agriculture and had always had a place for it in his heart. I le showed a huge interest in learning about the earth and what happens on it over the years. Dutson began his career as a faculty member with the Agricultural experiment Station and became the Dean of the College because of his immense interest in agriculture. Many have said that he has changed the College of Agriculture in a very positive way, preparing it for the next 138 years as ( Oregon’s premier school of agriculture.

The college had almost 2,300 students and saw almost twice that many within its classes. This year, the business minor was the most commonly chosen minor among students. A large part of the College of Business was their emphasis on outreach programs and experiential learning. They believed these opportunities to become more involved added great value to the education they provided their students. The Arthur Stonchill International Exchange Program was one of the leading experiential learning programs supported by the College. It was the largest of its kind in the United States, and allowed for over 1(H) students to study abroad with a business focus. The Austin Entrepreneurship Program at W eatherford 11 all was a newer, yet still very successful program that was integrated into the normal curriculum. Students living as residents in Weatherford Mall were able to receive formal classroom education along with an informal education that was connected to their degrees. 'Phis year, the program was the largest residential entrepreneurship program in the country with 290 students participating. In order for students to further learn about the working world, speakers were brought in throughout the year to offer information anti advice al out their own experiences. There were more than 220 people that came to campus this year to participate in this program. Students also got involved in the College through internships and clubs. These provided students with experience and a network of people who could help them. Internships took place in Oregon and beyond, while the clubs were a part of student involvement on campus. Everyone involved gained valuable experiences that they planned to carry with them to the future. Jennifer Kuhn, a senior in business and communications said, I laving an internship has helped me prepare for the professional world.” In addition to these student achievements, faculty members were able to make many advances in their own careers as well. When not teaching, they kept busy by doing progressive research and having it published in peer-reviewed journals. The College of Business used many avenues for learning and teaching. Its students and faculty were able to make strong impacts on the community that will lx remembered. With new and old programs going strong, they looked forward to a successful future as they reflected on this year. Story by Amy Jack College i !

Photo courtesy of the College of Education The College of Education continued to prepare students for a world of possibilities as it expanded the number of undergraduates enrolled in the teacher preparation program, the Education Double Degree. Through this program students could earn two degrees, one in education and the other in a second field of their choice. Tliis allowed them to work in one of three settings: K-12 classrooms, communities or workplaces. Since most lifetime learning goes on outside of the classroom, many Education Double Degree students chose to teach in community settings. Graduates worked in museums, 4-II programs, discovery centers, with adult volunteers and youth development programs. 4-H Youth Development Education served every county in the state in 2006. More than 107,000 youth were enrolled and close to 5,000 adults volunteered in the program. T he 4-11 program, in conjunction with the College of Education, offered almost 200 projects covering a huge range of subject areas. The majority of youngsters who participated in these 4-11 programs lived in urban environments, although 4-11 in rural areas remained an integral part of the community fabric. I inking learning and teacher preparation with new technologies continued to l e an exciting collaborative effort by the College of Education and its partners. The George I.ucas Educational Foundation, Intel, IBM, Apple. Inc., the University of Texas and the University of California joined together with the College and others to explore innovative ways of delivering learning and improving the country’s global competitiveness. Podcasting became a tremendously popular channel for sharing ideas during the same year. The College, through the Grassroots Learning Projects, offered video podcasts of doctoral research, audio podcasts of community conversations and weekly programs on a wide selection of topics. Education technology leaders and the College of Education created the Technology Network for Teachers to link teachers with new technologies such as online student assessments and 3-D interactive maps. The network tackled topics such as: hardware, staff development and software. The College of Education and OSU served as resources for the network group. Students who graduated with an Education Double Degree in 2006 went onto workplace settings in which they met the demands for professionals interested in workplace learning, training and development. Workplace learning was important to the competitive advantage of both individuals ami employers more than at any other time in the past.

With the opening of the new Kelley engineering Center, the school of electrical engineering and computer science-had a new home. This helped kick off a successful school year anti renovations of other building used by the College, such as Appcrson I (all. While structures were Ixing strengthened anti built, ideas were following in the same footsteps. Research was possible because of collaboration within the college and with outside resources anti companies. This proved to help the faculty anti staff researchers to make-great strides in the information anti discoveries that were found. Research successes during the year included inventing micro-reactors that were used to produce biodiesel, filter blood and generate hydrogen for fuel cells. Buoys that turned ocean waves into electricity were also invented. Researchers also worked on a project to ana- lyze bridge structures throughout ()rcgon. This bridge research saved the state millions of dollars. Many more endeavors were also undertaken and had amazing results. ('enters that supported the research done within the College included the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research, Advanced Thermal I lydraulics Research Laboratories, Oregon Space Grant Program and the Western Region Hazardous Sub stances Research center. Students made many great accomplishments as well. About 75 percent of the students in the college participated in internships. Twenty-five percent of them held at least two six-month internships with prestigious companies linked to the college. The final test to become an engineer. The Fundamentals of Engineering, is a huge deal to students and the College alike as it shows the successfulness of the program. Among this years graduates the test had a pass rate of 92 percent. This is 15 percent about the national average. With all of this success, and new equipment to work with, the College of Engineering was working hard toward meeting its goal of becoming one of the top 25 engineering schools in the country. With their successful students, and innovative research, they are bound to meet that goal in the near future. Story by Amy Jack n College Above: In front of the Kelley Engineering Center.

Photo by Andrew Burton The College of Forestry added another ring onto the tree this year, bringing the world-class education center up to a century of growth. With four departments, over 14,0(X) acres of college-operated forest within minutes of campus, and a variety of sporting events, they offered students a variety of experiences in the classroom education and beyond. Fernhopper was definitely the forestry event of the year. The May 20 celebration marked the start of the college’s centennial celebration. The event also celebrated its 75th anniversary of fun. From timber sports to quiz bowls those who made it to the party got to see a broad array of what the college-had to offer. I lowever, forestry was not all fun and games. This year the College of Forestry found itself amidst heavy controversy over pcrspcc-tives on post-fire activity and forest restoration. An ()Sl‘ study released this year in the journal Science caught the attention of national news organizations from I'lx Washington Post to Tlx Oregonian. OS I’ scientists continued to reach differing conclusions regarding how forests recover with or without management intervention. While the studies continued, so did the controversy. Post-fire research was just a small piece of the puzzle for the College of Forestry. Tree ring research, nitrogen content in water, ami new environmentally friendly wood glues were just a taste of the countless other research programs the college tackled. The college g x-s by the slogan, “Through our outreach programs, we share our discoveries with the world.” Collegiate sports are not often associated with forestry, but OSU has made its mark in worldwide and Pac-10 events for years. The forestry club offers participants a chance to compete in a variety of events; axe throw, underhand chop, vertical chop, springboard, birling, choker setting, obstacle pole, stock saw, double buck, single buck, ami Jack Jill. “I never knew how to run a chainsaw or swing an axe before 1 joined the forestry club,” said junior Amanda Briesc. “It’s been a lot of fun.” Senior Ciary W illiamson was also a member of the forestry club, and a rising star on the timbersporis circuit. Williamson has traveled all over the world to compete, and placet! second at the collegiate Stihl Series nationals in 2005. “I love the sport because it is the only sport in the world where you actually get to use a tool to compete,” he said. “In fact, these are the same tools that helped build America.” With forests a plenty within minutes of campus, a long history of greatness, and promising programs anil research projects to keep the college busy far into the future, OSL' was obviously the place to lx-for those who love the woods.

Made up of four individual and unique departments and an extension program, the College was able to lx- involved all over campus and our state. Research was a large part of this year for the College. Due to their growth anil many newly acquired faculty members, their funding tripled to over $9 million. The successes the department made in research were seen in the numerous awards that the faculty won, including five of the 13 University Awards given out by President Ray. This was their third year in a row to achieve this. The Center for I lealthy Aging Research, which the college supported, hail a very successful year with their research advances. They even had the opportunity to host the 29'h Annual Gerontology Conference. Besides healthy aging, large areas of study included bone research, public health and AIDS research, and working with “Newton,” a thermal mannequin used to study human lx dics. ()ther programs supported by the College were seen all around campus. From the ever-popular Physical Activities Courses (PAC classes), to Kid Spirit, the Bates Child Development Center, Team Oregon and the Bone Research laboratory, the College of I lealth and I luman Sciences was quite diverse. Students declaring majors within the college also had tremendous successes that helped enhance their educations. Over 630 students held internships in their chosen fields; six were able to spend a month at Fu Jen University in Taipei, Taiwan, while 10 others spent two anil a half weeks in Paris and Belgium. Students also participated in and helped organize the second annual 5K Hat and Run Walk. Scholarships over $300,000 were given out for their exceptional work. Senior Nicole Poole, who majored in human development and family sciences said that, The classroom studies and internships helped me realize what the right career path was for me and prepared me for graduate school in school counseling” The college has seen great achievements. Many more positive developments will lx- seen from them in the future, with their students and faculty Ixing involved and successful in many fields.

While there has been a long history of honors programs at Oregon State University, the more recent establishment of the University I lonors College ami the I lonors Baccalaureate degree earned by its graduates represent relatively unique attributes among American universities. There are only a handful of institutions offering the I lonors Baccalaureate. Moreover, the qualifications of students who enter the University I lonors College are comparable to those of students in the leading universities in the country ami their curricular requirements are as rigorous as those found in the finest universities. Consequently, Honors provides Oregon State University with exceptional learning opportunities for the brightest students in Oregon, regardless of their economic circumstances. We understand at OSU that our graduates are the most important contribution that we make to the future. We declare in our strategic plan that we want our graduates to l e prepared to compete with anyone, anywhere in the world in their chosen careers. We want their service activities to their communities, the nation, and the world, to be of the greatest possible benefit to others. The University I lonors College is a critical contributor to our achieving those ends and we are all justifiably proud of our I lonors graduates.

Photo by Troy Smith The College of Liberal Arts is composed of many different cultures and concepts. each with its own unique and original image. They offer majors ranging from art to sociology, even economics. The college could be found spread all over campus. Departments were in buildings such as Kidder, Waldo, Milam, Gilkcy, Moreland, and Fairbanks halls. Due to Baccalaureate Core requirements, most students found themselves in one of these places taking a class from the College of Liberal Arts. The College of liberal Arts has been a primary part of our campus. They have been around since 1868 when the Lnglish department became the first department in liberal Arts to offer a bachelor’s degree. W ithin the college there were various great opportunities and ways for students to excel. One such program allowed stu- dents who desired to design their own major around a specified theme. This was enacted to help guide students on a path that allowed them to develop and seek skills they lielieved would be necessary for their futures. Such themes for these majors have included labor studies, working in non-profit organizations, law enforcement, bilingual communications and advertising. Another opportunity students had was to attend presentations by guest speakers. Three different authors were invited to come speak this year including Alice Fulton, Tobias Wolff, and Steven Stern. With them these authors brought to campus a wide array of books, anti spoke to students from various political, religious and poetic backgrounds. There were also variety of student-created clubs in the departments.

Photo courtesy of the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences |hc College of Oceanic-anil Atmospheric Sciences (()AS) is internationally recognized for its faculty, research, and facilities, including their state-of-the-art computing infrastructure that supported real-time oceanic atmospheric observation and prediction. OAS was a leader in the study of the Earth as an integrated system, providing scientific understanding to address complex environmental challenges. The college offered interdisciplinary master’s and Ph.D. degrees in biological, chemical and physical oceanography, marine geology and geophysics and atmospheric sciences. C )AS has been a part of the OSl campus for the last 50 years. This program sought to develop linkages between oceanic physics anil biology by making biological, chemical, and physical measurements on the same time and space-scale. The OAS masters degree in marine-resource management worked to develop leaders who were ready to meet opportunities and challenges affecting the health of our coasts and oceans. Established in 1974, marine resource management is a science-based interdisciplinary master’s program emphasizing marine-conservation, fisheries management, coastal processes, planning and hazards, marine pollution and coastal water quality. In addition to the expertise offered by the OAS faculty, marine-resource management included about 30 adjunct professors from OSl’ and other educational institutions, as well as faculty members from public agencies and the private sector, litis collaborative structure was a real strength, as students benefited front a close-relationship with organizations such as the Ore-gon Sea Grant and the I latfield Marine Science Center. The college took a leadership role-in creating an ocean observing system for Oregon. The oceanic equivalent of the National Weather Service, it provided valuable information about waves, currents and ocean conditions to a wide range of Oregon ocean users. The Oregon Coastal Ocean Observing System placed buoys in Oregon coastal waters for measuring anil monitoring. New technologies in radar that measure waves were also put in place ami models developed to pull the information together. To make the information easily accessible to the public, the data was put on the Internet as quickly as possible. Over a ten-year period. NASA planned to give OSl' S35 million to be used to build anil equip a new environmental computing center as an addition to the Burt Hall Oceanography complex. Included in the facilities were massively parallel supercom-puters and graphics anil video visualization technology. The mission of the College of Oceanic and Vtmospheric Sciences was to increase knowledge anil understanding about oceanic and atmospheric sciences, and to help Oregonians, the nation, and the world respond to the challenges of a dynamic anil changing Earth system.

Photo courtesy of the College of Pharmacy he College of Pharmacy has been a parr of the University since 1898. It began here at what was originally called the Oregon Agricultural College as a four-year program. This set the ()regon Agricultural College aside from other pharmacy programs, most of which were only two-year programs. In 1951, it became a five-year program and continued to grow. The current pharmacy plan is based on a seven-year schedule. These seven years are laid out so that the first three years are in the pre-pharmacy program and the last four years are in what is called Unprofessional program. There were approximately 450 students in the pre-pharmacy program this year and 85 Pharm.D. students. Pharm. D. refers to students in the professional program working towards earning their Doctor of Pharmacy, or Pharm.D. Students hail lots of opportunities to get involved with ceremonies anti activities correlating to the College of Pharmacy. Pharmacy students were responsible for putting on the first annual Apothecary’s Ball on Feb. 11. This formal ball was held at McMenamin’s Crystal Ballroom in Portland and was a fund-raiser for Docrnljechcr Children's Hospital. Students in lM th the pre-pharmacy and professional programs had the opportunity to get involved with the Pharmacy fraternity on campus, Phi Delta Chi as well. There were also some ceremonies and activities reserved specifically for students in the professional program. Those events included the Student Recognition banquet in which Pharmacy faculty and students had dinner and a dance as well as the distribution of awards. Another ceremony was the Graduation Recognition ceremony in which the Pharm.D. students went through all the ceremonies of graduation without getting their diplomas. The actual diplomas were handed out the next day at Commencement. A very important ceremony for the first year Pharm.D. students was the White Coat ceremony. This was the ceremony where the Pharm.D. students were issued their white lab coats and became “professionals in training” as they were called within the department. The white coat symbolizes their entrance into the pharmacy profession and the weight that lx-ing a pharmacist carries. According to Angela Austin I laney, the colleges heat! advisor, “The door is wide open to students in the Pharmacy program.” Students had the option to work in many outlets, such as community pharmacies, with the government, insurance companies or hospitals. Many received job offers before they graduated. The door truly was open for this year’s 535 Pharmacy students. In this line of study, haul work and persistence really paid off in the end.

Stu- dents were able to gain experience by shadowing a doctor for a term through the Doctor Preceptorship Program as well. There were also five study abroad programs that were specifically geared toward science students. To better understand what career options may lie ahead, ()regon States College of Science, along with many other universities, brought the Health Professions Career Pair to campus. This was the fifth year they collaborated on and hosted the event. They found it successful because many of the College of Science students were preparing to be a part of the health profession. A new addition to the college this year was the student ambassador program which was geared toward a higher level of success for both the college and the students. Working together ambassadors, chosen from various science departments, represented the college to its board of advisors, visitors, alumni, potential students, anil new students during START and Fall Preview. The ambassadors acted as a voice for the college anil passed along their knowledge anil experiences throughout the year. Bv doing this, they expressed a student view of OSl and its great science programs. liach was proud to have the responsibility of acting as a representative because each thought there were many good things that they could tell people. They also enjoyed being able to socialize with other students and participating in various activities together throughout the year. This year has Ixren one of quality for the College of Science; every student enrolled at ()Sl took science courses and shared in this success. By creating learning experiences where students actually practice science, faculty and staff hope students keep learning and then moving into fulfilling careers for years to come.

Photo by Jill Bartlett The College of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1975 and began its professional education program in 1979. The college made a lot of changes over the last few years. One change was the addition of a new small animal hospital that completed its first year of operation in 2006. The opening of the small animal hospital allowed the veterinary students to complete their entire education at ()regon State instead of traveling to Washing State University to satisfy the small animal portion of their program. Another change was that this year, the class of 2006 was the last class of 56 people; the following class si es would increase to 48. Due to these small class si es, the college was tough to get accepted ttx Only 40 Oregon resident applicants and eight out of state participants were accepted, including some from such far-flung states as Arizona, Hawaii, North Dakota, and Wyoming. I lowever, the students had a long road ahead of them once they were accepted. They had to complete four years of undergraduate prerequisites and then complete another four years of school to earn their doctor of veterinary medicine degree. To complete everything in four years the students often had 18 to 22 credit hours each term. After graduating, more than half of the student IhkIv remained in the state of ()regon to practice veterinary medicine. The College of Veterinary Medicine hail two teaching hospitals: a small animal hospital and a large animal hospital. The large animal hospital had been open for 25 years by 2006 and plans were underway to add an addition onto this building, much like the small animal hospital. T he small animal clinic offered various services such as oncology, dermatology, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery. The college also owned many animals, such as llamas, alpacas, a cow, dogs, pigs, anil mice and rats. Besides working with these animals, there were also opportunities for students to work at the Oregon I lumane Society in Portland, where they were able to have hands-on practice working with domestic animals. Not only was the college a teaching hospital, but it was also a successful research lab. Researchers here studied various diseases such as the avian flu, bacterial food poisoning, and even the effects aging has on the brain. The research was vital in the control of both human and animal disease. The College of Veterinary Medicine sent out 48 graduates this year. Most of them went on to open private practices in ()regon and around the Northwest. Story by Justine Rykken Above: Freshmen veterinary students Christina Crouthers. Tracy Connolly. Jamie Sullivan.

Photo by Devon Farber i i On the first floor of Waldo I lall, a special department was devoted to the success of undergraduate students. The Academic Success Center was responsible for coordinating all tutoring services, success classes and workshops, and the University Kxploratorv Studies Program (UliSP). Students who chose not to declare a major when they entered OSl’ were guided by the support of L'KSP. The program was not only offered to new students, but was also available for students who decided to change majors, hail returned for a college degree later in life, or who simply wanted to explore their options. The department operated like any other major on campus except, “Students just can't graduate with a degree in l eing undecided,” said Kerry Kincanon, head advisor for the program. The program put an emphasis on providing resources that assisted students in picking a major that would match their skills and interests. “We try to guide our students through the decision making process - helping them learn more about themselves,” explained Kin-canon. “We believe in the unique potential of each of our students.” No matter how different their reasons were for being undeclared, each student shared certain activities while being part of UKSP. first, each term students met with an academic advisor to help them stay on track towards making a successful decision about their future and to help them maintain a good academic record. To assist in making the actual decision, UKSP, along with the Academic Success Center, offered university-wide events and activities. ()verall, it was expected that students who participated in the program were less likely to continue to jump from major to major. The goal was that the change from I ESP to another major would be the last change in a student’s college career, Kincanon said. Most students had explored degree anti major options while they were in the Exploratory Studies Program anti were able to make an informed choice about a major that fit them. It’s a personal decision and choosing a major is hard,” said Chance Ray, a former I 'KSP student who eventually became a psychology major. “They gave me access to plenty of information which helped me make my choice.” Story by Christine Jennings-Garant University r ) ontfor • ifroy Above: Withycombe Hall is not only a place for classes, it is also where the University Theatre is located.

Study Abroad Part of the reason I came here was to change, to be put in a position where 1 was vulnerable and sometimes feeling weak in order to grow, which I have. I’ve also had to rely on 22 wonderful strangers and therefore step out of my comfort zone along with putting my trust in people whom I wouldn’t normally trust. This has shown me how many wonderful people are out there just for me to meet and give a chance. Every week I felt as though my group hail become closer. We went to school four days a week together, drank cafes con leche while we did our homework in a small cafe in Plaza Canadio, and then headed over to our favorite bar, Peter Pan. I thought I would come here, learn some Spanish, have a good time, and want to stay forever. But now I’ve improved my Spanish, made a hunch of friends, hat! experiences that 1 never thought I would have, like traveling to the Picos, Toledo, Burgos, Segovia, and San Sebastian. I’ve grown up more than I could have expected. I’m really excited to see where my life goes when I bring all the experiences that I have hat! there, all the growth and self-development, and the friendships that I’ve made anil insert them into my life back home.

Marching band this year was made up of many sections: instruments, colorguard, dance team, and feature twirler Jill Thoney. They also worked with the cheerleaders to perform big tailgating and pre-game activities, and to keep the crowd pumped up during football games. Student drum majors Nathan Patterson and Jon Sodcrberg Chase worked closely with the band, as well as Director of Athletic Bands Dr. Brad Townsend to create halftime entertainment shows that included music selections from the movies “The Incrcd-iblcs,” “The Mask” and the James Bond series. In their second show they played music by Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Tina Turner. These musical selections proved to make for great shows and provided audiences with wonderful entertainment. One of their two shows was performed at every home football game halftime show. Other performances included the Northwest Marching Band Competition, a high school marching band competition they hosted, the Beaver Jam Concert at Gill Coliseum during Dad’s Weekend and the Cal Berkeley game they traveled to. Following the Cal game the marching band made a special appearance at an Oakland Raiders game. The trip to California for these events proved to be a highlight of their season. The drumline was also given the opportunity to perform at a Seattle Seahawks game. When they took time out of their busy practice and performance schedule, many from the marching band took time to carry out band traditions together. Sundays found a group of them playing football; they even challenged the Duck band to a game during Civil War week. Another tradition carried out again this year within the band was the Rookie Talent Show. While riding the buses on the way to the Cal game, new members performed their talents for all the old members; the winner received a cash prize. In the end, many great memories were created, people bonded, and all were pleased with how successful the season turned out to be.

Most of all, the fall season was about having fun. This year’s group consisted of 12 members; only five of them were returning members. The new members all had previous guard and dance experience, making the transition to forming their new team easy. The colorguard performed to the music of the marching band on the field, in the stands and during pre-football events on game day. The team members used a combination of large, colorful flags, creative spinning, dance movements, smiles anti field placements to create intricate shows that required much dedication and practice. Tossing the five-foot flag poles was one of the most complicated moves, but was also the most rewarding and impressive on the field as all the flags flew through the air together. Routines were practiced throughout the week during rehearsals with the band. Colorguard was considered a class, anti team members received university credit for their hard work and participation. They will always remember the hard work they put into these practices, sometimes even learning routines the night before a show to accommtxlate the performance place. Colorguard was more that marching down the field with flags. They looked forward to performing each Saturday at home games. The day always kicked off with an early morning practice to perfect the routines for the day, a parade around Rescr Stadium, and the Beaver Walk, a pep rally to greet the f x)tball players. Once the game started the colorguard performed a traditional pre-game show and cheered and danced in the stands. All of this led up to their big performance during the halftime show where they filled the field with color and spirit and were able to really show off their spinning and tossing skills. Besides home games the guard was able to travel to the away game at Cal, which was one of the highlights of the season. While in California, they also attended a NFL football game, and had the opportunity to perform for Oakland Raiders’ fans. This type of performance was a first for the team. Kirsten Hccsackcr, in her second year on the colorguard, said, “1 will always remember this season for the pep talks before football games, and being able to make new friends and grow closer to old ones.” For the guard, this was a memorable and successful season that brought a lot of good entertainment to the fans and gtxxl experiences to the team.

All looked amazing, and were ready to perform. There was a large crowd full of professors, students, parents and siblings, all who were ready for a wonderful vocal performance. The concert was called Music a la Carte, and the chamber choir was under the instruction of Dr. Steven Ziclke. As they began singing, their voices rang out beautifully through the auditorium. It was a wonderful sound to hear. Their voices, all so unique in quality, left the audience in awe. Before some of the pieces. Dr. Ziclke wanted to introduce the music and state its significance. His stories and descriptions were great in themselves, each with its own relevance, and intricate beginnings and endings that made everyone eager to hear the music that followed. After each section of the performance, the applause seemed to be never-ending. The students and conductor were very pleased with their work on this rainy day, as was the audience. There were seven different pieces that were performed and some performers had spectacular solos. All of the students were very talented. After the performance, the singers greeted happy family members and fellow students. Seeing who had been watching them from the crowd made it a very special time for all of the performers. Adam Grieve had been with the chamber choir for some time. “I have learned so much being here with the chamber choir-I made the best of friends, and the best of memories,” said Grieve. Grieve compared the choir to a family away from home. “There are tours to places such as Las Vegas and California,” he said. “There, you arc able to build more than a friendship, it’s more of a family.” This year’s chamber choir helped to entertain with their voices and created special friendships along the way.

Anticipation filled the air as the musicians waited to begin another amazing show. The group, comprised mostly of non-Oregon State students, prepared their instruments and filled the auditorium with a Hood of music from the stage. The sound projected as a rush of violins overfilled the ears with melodic and harmonic tunes. The large black piano in the front of the stage nearly hid conductor Marian Carlson from the audience as his big gestures forewarned exciting new movements in the piece. The symphony applauded their profound accomplishments at the conclusion of the first piece, which was about ten minutes long, while staying attentive to the helpful hints Carlson. Carlson, also currently the chair for the Department of Music shared his wealth of knowledge from many different places anti of many musical genres from around the world. One of his achievements included being a permanent honorable guest conductor for the I Icnan Province Symphony Orchestra in I icnan, China. The Corvallis-OSl Symphony performed many different genres of music, including pieces from Mozart, Beethoven, Rosini. Brahms, Verdi, and Sibe lius. Each piece was challenging, yet rewarding when finished and performed for audiences who appreciated the hard work and beauty behind the music. The group shared one passion-an immense love for the music. Ed Propst, a graduate student in Music Education, described this experience as “A way to get five to 100 people together to do one thing all at the same time.” In this special case, the idea was to make music. This year, the Corvallis-OSU Symphony celebrated its 100th anniversary. The orchestral band that began in 1906 was the oldest continuous orchestra in the state of Oregon. To bring in the next century of music anil celebrate their anniversary, an Oregon Public Broadcasting special aired on television, and the excitement of this event acted as great motivation for the musicians. Another successful year for the symphonic group left musicians and listeners alike waiting for another hundred years of great musical performances.

When the football season is over marching band members turn in their uniforms for the casual polo shirt and khaki pants attire of the basketball and gymnastics seasons. OSU is one of many universities with a basketball band, but perhaps one of the only ones with a gymnastics band. The pep band, comprised of marching band members, former high school musicians and members of the OSU band Rhythm and Beavs, performed at mens and womens basketball games as well as at gymnastics meets. The group sometimes contained upwards of 100 members while Rhythm and Beavs had about 25 members. Band members enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the pep band. Since they did not need to learn the complicated drill formations of the marching band, the men anil women had more time to focus on the music they played. The musical selection varied a bit from the marching band tunes, but one favorite song remained: a rousing rendition of the OSU fight song that band members sang with gusto. “It was fun to watch the crazy alumni,” said junior and third year Rhythm anil Beavs member Luke Woodward. “They really got into the songs.” The pep band traveled to the men’s and women’s Pac-10 basketball tournaments in I � s Angeles and San Jose. While the travel time meant students had to study on the road, the extra work was worth it as band members were able to cheer on the OSU players at their night games and explore the California cities during the day. C )nc of the most memorable performances for the pep band was at the men’s civil war basketball game against the University of ()regon. For this night band members discarded their usual attire of “Beaver casual” and prepared to go “duck hunt- ing.” liach member raided their closet for anything that would make them l K k as though they were on the hunt for waterfowl. Camouflage, waders, hats with earflaps and bright orange vests turned several pairs of eyes to the corner of the gym occupied by the band.

When the season was over band members faced a term without a sports-based band to participate in.

As the actresses opened up their newspapers during a break in rehearsal before their debut, they started speaking as comments and hurtful editorials attacking the performance were read aloud from the Barometer. “Don’t pick on people who are doing their best to reach out,” director Kimberly Gifford-Wcar said to her actresses. “It’s the silence causing the violence, not the speaking.” This event, both comical and full of serious information, addressed issues affecting women around the world. Topics included menstruation, sex, sexual assault, and female genital mutilation. One of the most tragic pieces came from a monologue called “The Memory of I ler Face.” In it, four actresses reenacted terrifying events in which women were attacked with acid that burned their faces, and described how the victims never fully recovered from the traumatic events. At the end of the play, activist and playwright Eve Knsler asks for anybody who has been abused to stand up. Of the 31 women on stage who were working towards their goal to stop violence via the Vagina Monologues, 13 of them were willing to say that they had been beat, raped or violated. Many believed that talking openly about these issues was a liberating and gixnl experience that raised awareness. As the director, Gibson-Wcar was in support of the program and said, “I’d lx- happy to attend an event where people can express what they feel.” I lowcvcr, some people did not believe the Vagina Monologues were the way to go about reducing or preventing violence against women. Some were even upset by the play. They believed some of the information presented portrayed women as vulnerable. Junior Danielle Calvin agreed with the general message of the Vagina Monologues, however she did not agree that this play was the way to go about it. Calvin had seen this presentation twice, and did not like it either time. She also did not agree that the chanting of a certain profanity by the actresses would help reduce violence against women. While the actresses in the Vagina Monologues spread the word through their charismatic performances, Calvin and the opposing side set up a table in the MU Quail to inform Students about another side of V-Day. One thing both of the groups hail in common was the fact that each side had strong opinions toward the opposing viewpoints. These disagreements were not due to what they believed, but because of the way the opinions were presented.

Made up of music and nonmusic majors, the auditioned group represents the Ix-st female voices on campus and loved entertaining with their talents. The group was under the conduction of Dr. Tina Bull, who was also the group’s founder seven years ago. This year, l-'milv Thielen joined the women as their graduate-teaching assistant and assistant conductor. To get to know each other, fun activities were planned throughout the year. Group bonding was done through barbeques and a winter retreat. These events were l x ked forward to by the group as it gave them an opportunity to know each other outside of the choir. The choir put on many concerts throughout the year. They performed together with the other choirs on campus as well as on their own. The biggest concert of the year was “Spring Sing!” The women sang seven songs during the show. Kach song was characterized by beautiful harmonies, solos and amazing energy. Two pieces were important to the song line-up. “Wind on the Downs” was by their own conductor, a special poem she put to music especially for the group to sing The other, “Quant j’ai ouy le talxmrin, by illiam Brown, was their finale. It was a very unique piece, for the translation of the poem was read before the performance so the audience had a good feel of their song. It included not only singing, but was also accompanied by percussion instruments such as bells, tambourines and chimes. Songs and performances like this made the group very special and showcased their talents. In order to further promote their group, they took their voices to many places. This year they took a tour of numerous Portland area schools during the winter months. The women of the group Itx ked forward to the opportunity to keep carrying on the tradition of Bella Voce, and performing for people all year. Their music brought them much success, as it will continue to do. Story by Amy Jack jrf r forming Left: Dr. Tina Bull leads the choir through their repertoire of songs.

About 60 Meistersingers dedicated their time to practicing for days on end for their numerous performances throughout the year. The group was completely comprised of male volunteers. It required a lot of hard work and effort. According to Bob Tucker, a junior in the Music Department, “You have to want it to be a Meistersinger.” Although the men did not have to go through an official audition, those who underestimated all the time and effort quickly discovered the dedication required to be a part of this group. Ilach member brought something unique to the table with his own style of voice anti singing. Many members were also involved in other campus activities including Cool Shoes, The Daily Barometer and many others. The Meistersingers came from many different departments and colleges on campus, giving diversity to the group. The Meistersingers were under the conduction of I lal liast-burn whose excellent leadership guided the group through their weekly practices and special performances. The group performed five to six times each term at various locations. The performances depended upon wherever the group was needed, ranging from churches to stadiums, to reunions and departmental functions. The Meistersingers were well prepared for their performances thanks to their thrice-weekly practices in Benton Hall. The group was fortunate to have members who had been with the choir since the beginning who were able to bring experience and advice to each of the sessions. The Meistersingers performed at football games and provided concerts in the Memorial Union I .ounge. As they walked around campus, they were easy to iden- tify by their black and orange striped ties and sport coats. Being a part of this group gave these men the opportunity to create memories to last a lifetime. “Its not too often that you hear a group of men singing together to make beautiful music,” Tucker said.

As one voice lx-gan to sing, the rest of the women stood with their heads down, slowly raising them as they lx-gan to harmonize, lx-gin-ning their Music a la Carte performance with their own rendition of “Down to the River.” The lounge was filled with people from the very young to the very old, some even standing in the back in awe of the ladies’ beautiful voices. Music a la Carte lx-gan at ()Sl in 1969 and happened most Thursdays during fall, winter and spring terms. It was a free concert open to all college students and Corvallis residents. The women of Divine were excited to get the opportunity to develop a fan base of the community and OSU students. bounded in 2003, the group is made up of OSU alumni and current students. Three of the founding women, Ix-ah Brake-bill, Analicia Santos and Alyssa Dart, had remained with the group since its inception. The creation of Dr. Tina Bull, of the music department faculty, the group lx-gan as a small five-member group to perform at the Vagina Monologues, “our numbers and energy have only increased since then” said founding member Santos. Before every performance the women perform their traditional pump it up routine where they gathered in a circle and chanted pump it up before they jump around anti get crazy in order to get the energy to perform. The group was self-directed, arranging the songs together as a group, or by one member. “Everyone is always eager to start new songs or to throw around ideas for arranging, said Santos, We try to keep the audience involved by ch x sing songs that are currently popular, or have been popular somewhat recently.” ()nc of the most endearing songs of their Music a la Carte afternoon was their rendition of “I lappy Birthday to their eldest memlx-r Analicia. Their performance energy helped the audience enjoy watching and listening to them. There were a few numlxrs in which the women would dance and sway to the music, encouraging the audience to clap along with them. While they usually had one or two women singing the lead in the songs, it was obvious that every member was appreciated and needed. Ever)- Friday the women held an outdoor performance with their brother group Outspoken in the brick mall next to the ( )SU bookstore. This was the most fun for Amanda I.undy because the groups were able to bounce off of the energy and singing of each other. Though they performed in many different situations anti arenas, the main goal of the women was to provide their audience with an enjoyable concert that leaves them in gtxxl spirits.

Created in 2002 by Jason Taylor and David Kmmert, the idea of an a cappella group on campus intrigued the group of then mostly freshmen and sophomores because it gave them the opportunity to sing songs that could not be done in other OSr music groups because of curriculum or tradition. It was the first time many of the men hail ever been a part of a group such as Outspoken. “We went from a rag-tag group of guys who just wanted to sing anil have fun, to a performance driven ami knowledgeable group of guys who like to sing and still want to have fun,” said senior Jason Taylor. While Outspoken performed at multiple concerts with the OSl’ Music Department, they also held their own concerts and informal performances for various student groups on and off campus. Relying on the desire to please their audience, their song choices depended upon who was in the crowd watching them. When they played to an older audience, they sang strictly oldies, such as the favored “In the Still of the Night and attempted to stay away from contemporary songs. The younger crowds enjoyed popular music, especially the song “Jesus W alks” by Kanvc West, though they also seemed to enjoy occasionally hearing oldies. As their goal was to make music and entertain, the 15 members were divided into groups of two or three for first and second tenors, baritone, anil bass, allowing for one soloist and one-vocal percussionist. Five of the nine founding members were still performing in 2006. Without distinction between new and old members, all of them went into each performance just as excited as a person in the front row who wanted to watch and listen. Megan 1 loneyman became a fan the first time she saw Outspoken perform at the All-I nivcrsity Sing during Mom’s Weekend. Honeyman continued to go to performances the following year, her favorites being the Friday shows. She described Outspoken as very laid back. There tends to be quite a bit of goofing around amongst the guys, which is entertaining to the audience, she said. A group singing only in a cappella intrigued many of the members because of its ability to change the sound of every song without changing instruments, as in a traditional band. During a performance. Outspoken could begin with Float On” by Modest Mouse and precede with a kanye West song without having changed anything but their voices. “Being able to entertain with just our voices is a blessing and gift which 1 feel is unique and makes every band member equally important, not just the front man ” explained Taylor.

They used their skills to entertain their audience while having fun at the same time. With a small team, 14 members anti one coach, the women were able to connect as a team and focus on the talents of each individual dancer. “I wanted to be on Elite because 1 wanted to continue dance through college and this team is the style of dancing that 1 like to do,” said first year member Stephanie Gibbons. Without the stress level that school sponsored teams have, the Elite members were able to be involved with their passion while still having time to have a life outside of their dance team. The focus became the fun of performing instead of the stress of getting every move correct. They created their choreography on their own, so the styles of dances they perform evolved each year with new coaches and new team members. This allowed the team to become more versatile because each new member brings in a unique dance background. Some members had a strength in ballet and others in hip-hop, and all types were integrated into performances. Before performances the women focused on warming up their muscles to prevent injuries. While some women continued to stretch and calm their nerves, others went through their routine one last time in order to drill the moves into their head. The largest event that the Elite-Dance team was involved in was the All-University Sing, something they spent the most time and worked the hardest on. The performance was their best performance of the year. In 2006 they performed to a medley of songs from different genres. The highlight for Gibbons was lx-ing able to assist in the choreography for the Sing performance, which prepared her for her position as co-head coach the upcoming year The Elite Dance team was also asked to perform at the 2006 Relay for I jfc where they got a surprise about the location of their performance. They were expecting to dance on a stage in the front of the crowd and instead were given space on the concrete sidewalk in the middle of the Memorial Union Quad with the crowd surrounding them on all sides. 1 .uckily they pulled together their choreographic skills and adjusted their dance, which involved movements on the floor, to their unexpected situation. Due to the demands of school and other outside activities, the entire team was not often able to see each other during the season. They all made time to have their end of the year celebration, giving them a chance to say good-bye to those members that will not Ik- returning for the next season. Their love for dance brought them together to join a team that gave them the opportunity to perform in front of crowds, getting the recognition they deserve, while not letting it control their lives.

Think they’re only athletic events? Think again. This spring the sold-out event on campus was “An Evening of American Opera.” This joint production between the departments of theatre and music consisted of two one-act plays that sold out for four of their five performances. “I think both the theatre and music [departments] at OSU do a remarkable job of mounting professional-quality work with limited resources even as they train many students new to both arts, said director Marion Rossi. The performance included Seymour Barabs “A Ciame of Chance,” and Douglas Moore’s adaptation of Stephen Vincent Ik-net s story, “The Devil and Daniel Webster. Rossi believed the contrast in musical and theatrical styles provided audiences with a diverse evening of entertainment. “A Game of Chance is about three knitters who long for a change in their ordinary lives. They soon learn that when one’s wildest dreams come true it is often not without some twists and turns. The Devil and Daniel Webster tells the story of Jabcz Stone, a New 1 lampshire farmer, who sells his soul to the devil so he can become rich and prosperous. After his marriage. Stone s wife encourages him to accept the help of his friend Daniel Webster, who offers to be Stone’s lawyer in a trial against the devil. Although both of these plays were in fact operas, not all who auditioned were music majors. Carrie Sigloh, who played Black beard Teach in The Devil ami Daniel Webster, was one of those students. I auditioned thinking it would be a good experience, not really thinking 1 had much of a chance because I’m not a music major nor have I taken any music classes here,” she said. Throughout the four months the cast practiced and prepared for its stage debut, the moment that stood out the most for Sigloh was a dress rehearsal in which she first heard OSU alumnus Erik I lundtoft, who played the part of Daniel Webster, sing his aria. “I just remember Ix-ing in total awe, Sigloh said. His voice gave me goose bumps, it was so g xxl. It just completely filled up the rcx m.” Indeed, each of the actors and actresses gave their Ix-st performance, one that was quite memorable for the audience. “I think the casts of both shows did an excellent job; they were dedicated, professional, prepared and worked hart! with gtxxl attitudes,” said Rossi.

It was also the last large production for director Scott Palmer. Written at the height of his comic playwriting career, this was one of Jonson’s most popular plays during the Elizabethan era. Today, however, it has rarely been performed in the United States; this was the first time it had been produced since a 1989 production in Washington DC The plot rotates around a Master Morose, played by Vreneli Farbcr, who is an old, unmarried man whom abhors noise. He hoped to find a silent woman to marry and inherit his estate so that he did not have to leave it all to his only relative, greedy nephew Sir Dauphine Eugenic, played by Susan Foster. Through a scries of twists, and help from other characters. Sir Dauphine sets his uncle up with a silent woman to marry, knowing the woman was anything but silent. After the marriage, Master Morose finds his bride speaks often, and signs his estate over to his nephew in exchange for help with a divorce. Sir Dauphine reveals the silent woman to be a man, therefore annulling the marriage, and takes over Master Morose’s estate. In the end, everyone got what they wanted. Applying Jonson’s over-the-top style to their own show. Palmer and the actors wanted everything to be exaggerated, from voice, to facial expressions to costuming. The actors had challenging four-hour rehearsals, including a week spent entirely on posing; the focus was on how to use their canes, fans, and handkerchiefs and how to stand. Actors also had to learn how to move around the stage in their seven-foot wide dresses and in wigs that weighed up to seven pounds. The huge costuming was inspired by a candy store, with each costume representing a different piece of candy in order to follow the theme of exaggera- tion. These elaborate costumes were adorned with fur, lace, colorful fabrics, overcoats, swords, canes, heavy makeup, headpieces and huge wigs. When the seven-foot dresses were lined up, it only took five actors wearing them to fill the entire stage. The wigs were also extravagant; not only were they very tall anil heavy but each had something different in them. A clock, ship, watering can and birdcage were a few items used to decorate the hair. The superb acting complimented the wonderful costuming throughout the play. It was clear the actors hail put a lot of work into their preparation for the difficult performance. Even when their character was not the focus of the scene, the acting continued in the same exaggerated and eye-catching fashion. It proved very effective in the telling of a play that had many twists and great humor.

In their crazy world of practices, performances, workouts, classes, homework and friends, it was not often they could relax together as a team. For many of the women the best bonding moments happened in the locker room before they went onto the court at C� ill Coliseum to dance for their fellow Beavers. The friendships these ladies created thrived outside of the dance floor, despite all of their incredibly full schedules. They became like sisters to one another while being able to show the pride they had for being OSU Beavers. Their love of dance was the one thing all of the women had in common. They each had a desire to lx- a part ot something they could share with the entire student population during each performance.

Story by Lauren Gilchrist Left: To the dancers, being a part of the OSU dance team meant more than just making sure the crowd was energized for basketball games. They also had to make sure there were people in the crowd to be energized.

However, OSU ran into a problem just past the 1,000-meter mark when one of the ladies “caught a crab” and lost control of her oar, bringing the boat to a halt. A crab is when the oar gets caught in the water and is forced from the rower’s hands’ due to a rower entering the blade into the water without “squaring” it. The oar must be at a 90-degree angle before and after entering the water. Even after this unfortunate mishap the novice eight succeeded in getting back in to the race and finished fourth above Kansas State and UCLA.

And whether they took academic credit, wanted a little extra money or simply wanted real life experience in journalism, more than 80 students worked in a variety of jobs to put the paper out. In addition, another group of students generated a budget through selling advertisements to operate the paper - ami offered it to readers for free - without needing any student fee money. site, joining the latest trends in new media. At the end of spring term 2006, the Barometer launched its first ever podcast - an Mp3 recording of an interview that produced a story for the print edition, listening to the interview added a new dimension to the story. At the same time, the Barometer added blogs to its Web site. The editor of the entertainment section updated the entertainment blog with commentary about pop culture. A sports blog allowed for up-to-the-minute coverage of big games for OSU teams and the editors blog opened up a new way for Barometer editors to communicate with readers. The student-run operation published Monday through Friday throughout the regular academic year and weekly during the summer term. Recently, the Barometer began to add more content to its Web As newspapers across the country tried to figure out how to stay alive in a world of falling circulation, the Barometer worked to stay ahead of the trends and continued to provide the Ixrst coverage of the ()rcgon State community.

Photos by The Daily Barometer The Daii . the hea ex yearbook For 112 years the Beaver Yearbook has been chronicling Oregon State University’s history. This year a staff of 16 writers, photographers and designers worked from September to June creating the latest edition of OSU history. The Beaver Yearbook began as The Hayseed, an 1894 printing that documented the academics, events and people that were a part of the then Oregon State Agricultural College, one of Oregon’s oldest universities. While the yearlxx k has changed names since then, the idea anil purpose behind it has remained the same. Whether a 1907 edition of The Beaver or the 2006 edition, the primary goal remains the same: capture a snapshot of student life here at Oregon State. This year the staff faced a few challenges as they worked towards their goal of 400 all-color pages of OSU life. For most of the student volunteers. The Beaver was their first step into the world of student media. Not only did they have to learn their way around the office, but they also had to adjust to computer glitches and software troubles. While it was a scramble to meet the first deadline, after fall term things began to fall into place, aided by the addition of five new i.Mac computers and new design software. By the time June rolled around the staff had come together to form a unique bond—a bond that was solidified by the time spent together as part of the “finals crew, the hilarious quotes on the quote lxiard anil the ever-expanding Wall of What, a collage of photos and clippings created during a rainy day. Whether capturing the winning goal at a football game or interviewing a professor, each and every writer anil photographer added their work to the 100th edition of OSU’s very own history lxx k.

The 2006-07 school year saw many great things for KBVR-FM. For the thirtl year, KBYR broadcasted the Battle of the Bands competition live from the MU Quad along with KBVR-TV. “Battle of the Bands is always our biggest production of the year,” station manager Ixrslic Davis said. “Its a lot of hard work, but it s always really fulfilling when we’re finished. This year, KBVR-FM also saw the addition of podcasts to their line up of offerings in conjunction with the Barometer news team, as well as a trip to the College World Series of Baseball in ()maha. Neb. The biggest event of the year for KBVR-FM, however, was the 40th Anniversary celebration. A concert was held in the MU Ballroom in February with three area bands: Swords, Stars of Track and Field, and Matinee. “People don't look at Corvallis for concerts,” Davis said. “1 was excited about a promo event about KBYR, and it also gave people something to do on a Friday night.” And even though the station is getting up there in years, it still has a long, promising future ahead of itself.

KBVR TV was seen 24 hours a day, seven days a week on cable channel 26 in the Corvallis-Philomath area. Since every minute of original programming took hours to produce, having a motivated and trained group of eager students was essential. The station programmed alx ut 20 hours of live and recorded programming a week. The remaining 148 hours ran through our bulletin lx ard system, keeping viewers informed about upcoming shows ami events on campus. Quad and battle of the Bands.

The volunteers provided culturally relevant information and promoted prevention and risk reduction skills, awareness of college health issues anti healthy behavior changes by implementing programs, events and projects that involved awareness of safer sex, HIV A1DS, drugs alcohol and other health related issues. Perhaps the largest outreach event PI 1A was involved with was the Vagina Monologues. PI IA took the opportunity this theatrical piece provided to set up booths addressing specific health concerns that college students might have had. PI IA members were also involved in service learning. Members combined service with learning objectives and reflective thinking to enhance their civic responsibility. Among other activities, they volunteered at a local soup kitchen, with Habitat for I humility and with a media literacy program for local elementary schools. PI IA was dedicated to promoting an open exchange of information, ideas, opinions and cultural inclusiveness of all students including race ethnic in', culture, gender, sexual orientation, religion faith and physical ability.
