Barack Obama wasn’t the only fresh face in the election. In August. Republican nominee John McCain announced that Alaska governor Sarah Palin would be his vice-presidential running mate. Sarah Palin received a large amount of media criticism. She was the brunt of many jokes especially on Saturday Night Live in impressions done by comedian and actress Tina Fey. There was no doubt that 2008 was going to be a very special year. Americans felt that Barack Obama would be a beacon of hope and would represent their individual needs. Oregon State University students showed their support for their candidates of choice by promoting themselves in the Memorial Union quad. One popular method of support was the O bama shirts using the OSU O and lettering to spell Obama. Some of the measures featured on the ballot were Measure 57 which increased sentencing for specific crimes, it passed, as well as Measure 54, which amends the constitution standardizing eligibility for school board elections with other state and local elections. Whether Democrat or Republican all Americans can agree that this election was the most important.

PAP'S mBKBNP OB Grateful Dads! This year OSU welcomed dads for a special weekend to share with their kids. The theme for the event filled weekend was Grateful Dads . Some of the events included a strongest man competition as well as tours of the campus buildings many people dont get to see too often. One of the highlights of every Dad's Weekend is the comedy show. This year students and their fathers got to enjoy comedian Kevin Nealon. He performed two shows, one at 6pm and another at 9pm so as many people could go as possible. Saturday is the biggest day during Dad's Weekend. Many greek houses on campus join each other to barbeque and give their dads a chance to see their respective houses and meet other members and parents. After everyone has filled their bellies it's off to tailgate for the football game. This year OSU hosted the Cal Golden Bears for the Dad's Weekend football game. The Beavs had been riding a 5 game winning streak and they were shooting for the Rose Bowl. Every year the OSU Football team puts on a good show for the dads. This year was no different as the Beavers stomped over Cal getting them one step closer to their goal: The Rose Bowl. Oregon State hosted a great Dad's Weekend in 2008 filled with laughs, fun, and excitement. We will just have to wait and see if next years can top this one!

The parade was full of flats and student groups. An old OSU tradition; the parade had gone on hatitus for many years was brought back two years ago. Later in the evening was the much anticipated Oregon State University Axizona State University homecoming football game. During the second half of the game the tug-of-war finals took place which resulted in winners Delta Upsilon and Chi Omega. The game ended with a socre of 27-25.

Kelly Cornado Homecoming 17 12th Civil War 4 i The 112th annual Civil War would be one of the most important Civil Wars in history. As the last regular season game of the year, the Beavers had huge stakes riding on this matchup. If the Beavers could beat the Ducks, they would be Pac-10 champs and be headed to the Rose Bowl. This game started off toe to toe with offensive strikes coming from both teams. With his brother on the sidelines injured, James Rodgers would need to play even harder along side Sammie Stroughter and Shane Morales. During the 3rd quarter James was injured after being horsecollared on an offensive play. Losing James Rodgers was the last straw that broke the camels back. Nothing was going the beavers' way . Costly turnovers, and lack of offensive plays along with an Oregon offense our defense couldnt stop make for a hard game for OSU fans to watch. Everyone was in shock, some people even in tears. The Ducks quickly surged ahead in the second half, but it seemed as though we could still catch them, however everytime we would score to lessen the gap, the Ducks would score again to widen it back up. In a 65-38 loss, the Beaver's Rose Bowl hopes were crushed and the team was devastated. Even though Oregon State wasnt going to the Rose Bowl, the Bea- vers were very proud of what they had accomplished throughout the season and could now look ahead to being victorious against Pittsburg in the Brut Sun Bowl.

Many students choose to come and either volunteer or give blood. Red Cross runs the entire blood drive and it is a great way to get students involved in saving lives. When one student donates their blood it saves at least three lives. Blood Drives at Oregon State are quite successful and many people show up to donate their blood. There are many students who come to the blood drive who have never given blood before, and it is a great opportunity to students to donate their blood. I was really nervous to donate my blood, but it was worth it in the end because I knew that I saved lives. said Freshman Victoria Chapman. During Fall Term there is a Civil War blood drive were both Oregon State University and University of Oregon participate in. The two schools compete against each other to see which school can donate the most blood. So not only is there a competition on the field with football, but there is also a great competition between blood donation. Everyone had a lot of fun during the Civil War blood drive and everyone wanted to beat the Ducks and show that the Beavers could donate more blood. This year the Beavers came out victorious and won the Civil War Blood Drive. Not only do people come and donate blood but there are many people who come and vol- unteer during the blood drives. Students help run the blood drives and help the Red Cross with whatever they need. Many volunteers have numerous responsibilities to make sure the drive runs smoothly. Some people help with sign in. others help with refreshments, and there are many other jobs that volunteers help out with. Without the time of the volunteers, the blood drives would not run as smoothly as they always do. All in all, blood drives at Oregon State are very successful, and they help save many lives. With all the students, faculty, and community members who come and donate blood and or volunteer, the blood drives would not be as successful as they are.

Michelle Hancock, a junior, went to Thailand with her family. “It was really cool to get out of the United States and go some place completely different than what my family and I usually do!” Michelle even got to ride an elephant and spent Christmas traveling around Thailand. Other students such as Casey Hanf, a senior this year at Oregon State, went back home to Redmond. Hanf was able to see old friends and family while back home. It’s always cool to go see old friends over break who I haven’t seen in forever. Marissa Webster went home back to Gladstone. She went to see the Portland Blazers play. Her hometown got tons of snow and she was able to go sledding, build snowmen, and play in the snow. While many students went back home for the break, many also went on trips. All in all, break was spent visiting and hanging out with friends and family. Written By: Kimiko Elliot 24 Student Life Above: Kimberly Thompson attempts to create a sand angel in Hawaii.

He is one of the most well known and respected activist of all time. King was most famous for giving his ”1 Have a Dream speech. He was assassinated in 1968 by James Earl Ray. His legacy will always be remembered. King’s birthday has become a nation holiday for people to remember all the positive work he did and the doors he opened for civil rights. Here at OSU students remember Martin Luther King with two weeks, January 8-23rd, filled with activities. The Black Cultural Center hosted The Voices Project which included I Am A...' and Being Black’ where students. staff, and falculty could share how they idintified themselves and the opportunities and challenges they share at OSU. This year there was Sign the Pledge a student wall where students could declare their support towards equality and social change. On Monday, January 19th (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) the MU hosted its 27th annual Peace Breakfast. This included awards and music; followed by a student panel comparing MLK to newly elected President Obama. King’s ”1 Have a Dream ’’ speech was also read at the breakfast. Monday there was also a birthday party in King's honor at the Black Cultural Center and a candlelight virgil on the MU steps. The celebration ended with Social Justice Through Hip Hop, a concert that included Hip Hop artists that talked about social equality and performed. Following Social Justice Through Hip Hop was the All University Dance for OSU students at Club Escape. The two week celebration helped OSU students appreciate Martin Luther King and all of his efforts and his significance on our history.

Every year it is very interesting to see what each designer can make out of recyclable items and when the show comes, everyone is astounded with what is created. The DHE department holds the fashion show and challeged students to create outfits that are created with only recyclable items. All the students had a great time creating their different outfits and loved how each of their creations turned out. There were many different designs and each made with different types of items. Designers used all of their creativity to make their garments and make them the most unique out of everyone elses. The models were student volunteers and they were amazed at each garment and how well put together they were. They couldn't believe that the garment was just made out of recyclable items and they had a lot of fun showing off each design down the runway. The fashion show was a hectic night where designers were putting the last touches on their garments and making sure everything was put together. The show was a success and many people came to watch the runway show. Many people in the audience enjoyed every design created and was also surprised with how much can be made with items that most people just throw away. Year after year, students create great clothing and put on a great show for everyone to see. Story By: Morgan Cummins Layout By: Erica Chamberlain Recycle Fashion Show 29 Dance Against Hunge, Dance Against Hunger was put on in Milam Auditorium this year and it was a great success. There were many people that came to participate and watch. The event was trying to raise money for people who need money for food. With so many people going without food, the students at Oregon State University decided to put on a show to raise money to help the cause. The show had many different groups that performed and it was an entertaining night for all that attended. Each dance group had their own style and there was all types of dancing during the show. People enjoyed the variety of dancing that was displayed throughout the performance. Not only was there dancing, there was also students who went on stage and sang. The night was full of music and dance. People showed their support with buying their ticket to watch the show and many people also donated their money to the great cause that the event was standing for. Elite Dance team and many other groups on campus came to show off their dance moves. Each group wanted to dance for the cause and had a great time with the entire event. Every year there are events that go on that students put on to raise money for a cause that the students are passionate about. This year was about raising money for the hungry and making sure that Oregon State helps out with the hunger issue, even if they only help some people. Oregon State students show how they care about the world and want to make it better. Written By: Jasmine Wagner 30 Student Life | 0r|tigi ts3te ).wi left:Students show their support by dancing.

Benny is the face of Oregon State University and is the proud Beaver that is all the different campus events that go on from different athletic events to big campus wide events. Benny always shows his energy at everything he does and makes sure everyone is having a good time. The Oregon State mascot does his job well and even shows some muscle when ups he can do at football games. This year during Dad's weekend Benny dressed up as Elvis for the OSU dad's and performed with the marching band during halftime. During the halftime show during Homecoming, Benny and Darth Vader fought with light sabers in an epic battle on the field. Also this year, Benny was joined by Benny Jr. who showed up on Oregon State gear for younger Beaver fans. Without Benny Oregon State would not be the same. Benny shows the true Beaver spirit and makes sure the rest of Oregon State shows it too.

She was very ex- 'hoto By: Jennifer The common thing for spring break is to travel. Many students here at Oregon State plan trips for the week with either their family or friends. It’s a great time to get a good break from school and see parts of the world. It’s also great because they come back with great stories to tell their friends and memories that will last a lifetime from the experience. One student, Maddy Higgins, went to the state of New York. Maddy was able to do a log of sight seeing as well as shopping in the hottest places in New York. It was a little bit of a culture shock for her because it was not like Oregon at all. Another student, Jennifer Meyer, went on an exciting road trip to Forks Washington. She read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer previous to spring break and made plans to see where the book took place. During her trip she was able to go the cafe where Bella and Edward had their first date. Roberto Garcia traveled for spring break. He went to Japan and the Philippians to see his family. While being on the opposite side of the world, he got to enjoy spending time with his friends, family, and some nice sunshine. Colter Bennett and some friends spent a week of intense mountain biking and traveling to the best places. One spot they went to was in Utah called the Slickrock Trail.

The Oregon State Triathlon Club held and ran the triathlon. The event had more than 350 participants and it is one of the first triathlons of the year held in the Northwest. The Freezer is a sprint distance triathlon where racers swim 500 yards, bike 12 miles and run 3.1 miles. Oregon State’s Triathlon Club sponsors the event and makes sure that everything runs smoothly during the race. The race is timed with timed chips that the rac- ers wear and once the participants reach the finish line, their time was recorded. The Freezer has become very popular and this year it only took 90 minutes for the registration to be completely full compared to three years ago when it took a week. It is great that the Freezer is becoming more popular, because it brings more attention to Oregon State and the OSlTs Triathlon Club. The triathlon was very successful this year and everything ran smoothly. Many people showed up to participate along with people who came to cheer on their favorite person. Although at the end of the race everyone was exhausted from the triathlon, it was rewarding to all the participants. With the Beaver Freezer being so successful, the OSU’s Triathlon Club can’t wait until next year and see how many more people will come and participate. Story By: Crystal Hoang Layout By: Erica Chamberlain ASOSU Elections This year the ASOSU Election was a very close race for the 2009-2010 President and Vice-President position. The two candidates that it came down to Van Drimmelen-Schock and Ferris-Madrigal. Both candidates worked tremendously hard to get as many votes as they could. Ferris-Madri-gal were both part of Greek Life and they wanted to be able to have Greek Life more represented in ASOSU. They went around to the different Greek houses to campaign and get as many votes as they could. The debates were held in the Memeorial Union in order for students to come, watch and listen to what each candidate had to offer and make their decision on who they wanted to vote on. This year there were many different topics that came up and each candidate took their questions and answered them well. Along with ASOSU President and Vice-President, there were other positions that were to be voted on such as President and Vice-President for the Memorial Union Program Council, Speaker of the House, ASOSU Senators, and many other positons. Voting was online and people would just login with their ONID account and vote for the people they wanted for each office. ASOSU promoted voting through- out the entire election process and tried to get as many students to vote as possible. In the end, Van Drimmelen and Schock won the ASOSU President and Vice-President position by a very small margin. Every candidate worked very hard and in the end all the candidates got a taste of what elections are all about.

This year there baseball games that place during mom’s weekend. All the games were at Goss Stadium. They played a game on Friday and lost, Saturday and won, and Sunday and won. It was a great weekend for the mom’s to support the team with their children. The seats were filled with moms, relatives, siblings, and beaver fans. It was a great event for students to take their mom to because they were able to experience the beaver believer mentality we students feel here on games days. One of the best things for the parents to see when they are here for a visit is our beatiful campus. There were many tours three offered this year. On Friday, pa-took retns were allowed to go to class with the students. Throughout the v eekend there were campus tours, self-guided library tours Dixon tours, and more. Most students take advan-tage of this weekend with their family and spend as much time with them. The students love when their mom comes be cause they can finally go to Win-co where they can stock up on food for the rest of the term, or they can go to the malls and buy a new wardrobe.

Story By Kimberly Thompson Layout By Erica Chamberlain a Snow in the Quad J Snow in the Quad is a great event that MUPC puts on. Cricket sponsors the tour and brings all the snow into the quad. This year during the spring the quad was filled with snow for a day and there were different athletes that showed off their skills off the ramps. There were snowboarders and skiiers and throughout the day one by one each athlete went down the ramps and made impressive jumps. Students had a great time watching each person go down the ramp and see what tricks they were going to do and the MU was packed with students passing by and waching. Snow was great to have in the Memorial Union Quad when students passed by to see what was going on. Everyone was amazed at all the snow that was brought and the different ramps that were set up for the different tricks that were being performed. Everyone liked having a break from their day to watch the snowboarders and skiiers make crazy jumps. I had a great time watching all the snowboarders. Snow in the Quad is great said Kelsey Turner. It was a beautiful and great for the event and everyone had a blast. Every year Snow in the Quad keeps getting better and better and students enjoy at-teneding the event.

It could either be graduate school or looking for their first job out of college. As the morning progressed with the cheers and screams of excitement could be heard as the graduates arrived in front of the Memorial Union. As the graduates walked to Reser Stadium for the last time as a student of Beaver Nation the excitement turned to a more serious note, as they were to approach their achievement of graduating from Oregon State University. There were 4,451 receiving their degrees today at the 140 th commencement. There was 46 out of 50 state represented, as well as 51 countries. The average age was 25, with the oldest being 75. and the youngest at 20 years of age. There was also a father-daughter graduating together. Sam Brady with a BS in Advanced Chemistry and Christy Jones BS in Business. The sun did make a slight appearance before the giving out of the Doctorate degrees. But overall the day was just what it was expected to do, that it would be a day that the graduates will never forget. Let the Beaver Spirit be with them in what ever these graduates do in the future.

At the start of the 2008 college football season almost every sports analyst predicted OSU would finish 6th place or lower in the Pac-10 and be headed to a bowlless holiday break. This was not about to phase Mike Riley or the rest of the team and coaching staff. We had two strong quarterbacks. Lyle Moevao and Sean Canfield, and Sammie Strough-ter was back for his senior year after he was granted a medical redshirt in 2007. This year the Beavers had a star freshman recruit in Jacquizz Rodgers from Texas. Quizz followed his one year older brother James to OSU which would make for a brutal offensive attack for the Beaver offense. The season kicked off of August 28th when the Bcavs headed down south to play the Stanford Cardinal. Though the Beavs played tough, they lost a close game 36-28. The next game proved to be even more challenging when Oregon State played at Penn State who was a top 25 team. The Beavs couldnt stop the Nittany Lions offensive assault and dropped their second game 45-14. An 0-2 start left the football team wary of the rest of the season as they had a tough schedule ahead of them The Beavers first home game was versus Hawaii and they came out with their first win of the season which gave the Beavers some much needed confidence for their next game, at home versus 1 USC. On September 25th, the Oregon State football team became giant killers once again. The beavers beat 1 USC 27-21 at Reser Stadium in front of a sold out crowd. USC could not stop the offensive onslaught of Movao, Stough-ter, and the Rodgers brothers and the defensive assault led by Slade Norris. Victor Strong-Butler, and Andy Levitre. Fans rushed the field at games end. With the great upset game against USC, the Beavers had a great rest of the season winning their 5th bowl game in a row. The Beavs had a great season proving sports analysts wrong.

After a dissapointing loss to Oregon in the Civil War, the Beavers had their sights set on beating Pittsburg in the Brut Sun Bowl. Pittsburg was ranked 20th in the nation and was the 3 point favorite heading into the game. Oregon State was not going to let that phase them. On December 31st, in El Paso, Texas the Beavs met the Panthers on a beautiful sunny day. From the start it was a defensive match up. For most of the first half each team was punting everytime. Neither team could produce much offense. Towards the end of the second quarter Justin Kahut nailed a field goal to put the Beavs up 3-0 going into halftime. This would be the only score of the entire game. After numerous efforts, Pittsburg got close enough to try for a field goal in the closing minutes to tie the game, but it was no good. The missed field goal sealed the deal for OSUs Sun Bowl victory. This victory was hugely due to the great defensive efforts of the Beaver defense. Victor Strong-Butler was named the Sun Bowl MVP, but said he couldnt have done it withouth the tremendous efforts of everyone else. After the game you could see it in everyones eyes how elated they were. Mike Riley had such pride in his eyes and in his voice when he spoke of his team. Winning the Brut Sun Bowl was the culmination of a very successful season for the Oregon State Beavers.

The calenders have pictures of the team and biographical information. Since the team is self-funded these calenders help the team significantly so they can continue to entertain sports fans everywhere. The dance team makes appearances at all Beaver football games and men’s basketball games as well as high schools, volleyball games, women's basketball and other events on campus. Many of the dances the team does are incorporated with the OSU marching band as well as the Oregon State Cheerleading squad. Football games are an ideal place to see the dance team and the marching band or cheerleading squad perform to- i gether. Being on the dance team puts you right in front of the field so dance team members see everything. Sophomore and dance team member Autumn Borroz's favorite moment being on the dance team was the USC game. Hearing everyone screaming Ohh-ess-uuu at their top of their lungs was exciting says Autumn Costumes are a huge part of dance team. The signature costume is a sparkley orange tube top and black pants. Most of the costumes being orange, black, or white with the beavers logo on them. The Oregon State University dance team generally dances to jazz or hip-hop and on occasion will do lyrical or modern dancing. Story by Morgan Cummins Dance Team 95 n k f i-i - - - AV— Stick it!

The women that make up this team did a good job this season and with all the miles they had to run, it was rewarding to them in the end. Beavers opened up their season at the Husky Classic which was on Valentine's Day. The Husky Classic was an indoor meet and it is one of the largest indoor meets in the country. Sophomore Abby Chesimet and Hannah Soza-Hodgkinson both ran the 3,000 meters, freshman Lorine Cruz and Casey Masterson ran the mile, and sophomore Jackie Brown ran the 800-meters. Casey Master-son broke Oregon State’s school record at the Husky Classic with a time of 4:51.87. Near the end of the season, the track team took nine people to compete at the Pac-10 Championships where women ran in the 1,500-meters, the 5,000-meters, and the 10,000 meters. Casey Masterson qualified for the regional finals in the 1,500-meter race and finished 11th at the West Region Finals with breaking an OSU record of a time of 4:25.81. There were seven women on the track and cross country team who earned the Pac-10 All-Academic First Team. The track team also earned the USTFCCCA Academic Accolade.

Teams gathered together on week nights and at various times during the weekend to battle it out on the courts to the best of three games to 25 points. Those teams that won two out of their first games continued on to the playoffs. The various league brackets included both all-women's and all-men's leagues, along with sorority and fraternity leagues, and co-recreational leagues as well including both men and women. Rules for the co-rec league specified that an equal number of men and women were to always be on the court, if a team touched the ball more than once, both sexes had to be part of the play, and the six-player formation on the court had to alternate male and female as well. Some felt these rules were difficult to abide by at times, but they were nonetheless in place to ensure equality among all team participants. The competition was tough, but those teams that weren’t as strong tactically still came away with a positive experience. The involvement in this year’s season of intramural volleyball was successful, and hopefully will continue to be so in the years to come. Story By Erica Chamberlain I.M.

With class sizes under 20 students and the opportunity to build personal connections with professors, the classroom environment within the UHC is inviting and close-knit. The Honors Baccalaureate Degree offered through the UHC is OSU's most distinguished degree and can be completed in any undergraduate major offered at Oregon State. Only a few schools in the nation offer this degree. Along with the hard work and dedication the UHC students put into their schooling, there is also a broad range of extracurricular activities put on by the UHC that are very popular and widely enjoyed. There is a fall barbecue at the beginning of every year to welcome new UHC students, also there are weekend trips planned every term including a camping trip, a rafting trip, and, in the winter, a ski trip where students stay in houses in Sun River, Oregon and can ski, snowboard, or go inner tubing at Mount Bachelor. Also, the UHC organizes a food drive in participation with the OSU food drive. Other events this year included a Dean and Friends lunch hour each term that gave UHC students the opportunity to meet with the Dean of the UHC and some of his colleagues to ask questions of their choice within a wide range of topics. There was also a Presidential Forum this year where students came and posed questions about their economic concerns to OSU President Ed Ray. One of the great things about the UHC is that that although it involves only a small number of students on campus, it strives to incorporate all Oregon State students m their activities. The UHC is a community that is known to be very welcoming to all students and embraces anyone that wants to join in on the activities within the UHC. Another of the many benefits of being a part of the UHC is a helpful resource in the basement of Strand Agriculture Hall. The SLUG, an acronym for Students Learning Underground, is a comfortable place where students come to study, use the Internet, print off papers for class, and often just relax. With all that goes on within the UHC. there is no doubt it will only expand and strengthen in the years to come.

Photo Provided By Kalena Bell Glkey Hall, in the center of the Oregon State campus, is the home of the College of Liberal Arts. When Oregon State University was first established in 1868 as Oregon State College, it began as a typical small Liberal Arts school, but the emphasis on liberal studies soon decreased as the college expanded into the math and science areas. In the 1960s though, the popularity of the Liberal Arts program expanded and 1971 is the official year the College of Liberal Arts became a part of Oregon State University and d it has been expanding every year since that date. Now with over 2,800 undergraduate students within the College of Liberal Arts and over 290 faculty members, the College of Liberal Arts has grown a great deal. To date, there are seventeen unique areas where degrees in both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees are offered. Also, there are constantly new majors and minors being added to the list including two different options—new media communications and women’s studies—that are soon to become their own majors. Some may ask what the term liberal arts all entails. It is a wide range of topics combined within the Social Sciences, Humanities. and the Fine Arts and Performing Arts departments. It can range from topics of criminal justice to foreign language study to the artistic creations of painters, photographers, musicians, and graphic designers to anthropological studies in the area of archeology. The most valuable aspect of a liberal arts education to students is the wide range of skills that are incorporated within each major. All strive to provide students with not only a firm hold on the topic of their major, but also strong social and communication skills that are necessary for success in the their future careers. With a strong emphasis on providing students with a well-rounded education, students are not merely learning one task with in their major, but gaining mastery of a range of social and communicatory skills, and are continually challenged to use creativity in all aspects of their schooling. This very beneficial characteristic of the College of Liberal Arts has and continually will prove to give Liberal Arts students a head start on what it takes to be successful in whatever career path follows their education at Oregon State University.

Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport is a coastal facility used for research and to conduct studies amongst students in this college. These students have an advantage attending a university that is located to close to the ocean. Oregon State hosted a seminar about the concerns and effects of global climate change. Global climate change could be a potential issue for studetss in this college as they work in jobs and research the way that the climate of the environment effects the ocean and the plants and animals livng in it. This is an important issue to students studying marine life . The college of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences is a college specifically for graduate stuends working on their masters or persuing a doctorate. For undergraduate students it can only be studied as a minor. Which is useful for students who plan to persue a career in high school education with specific knowledge in marine and oceanic climates. With only 100 students, making it the smallest college at Oregon State., this college works on a very small scale. Many of the studies done by students are in-terdisplinary. This allows students to explore their own options in terms of learning and discovery. Degrees offered in this college are Atmopsher-ic Sciences, Marine Resource Management, and Oceanography with concentrations in Biological Oceanography, Chemical Oceanography, Marine Geology Geophysics, and Physcal Oceanography. Although the college of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciencs is small its vatality to our environment is important.

Pharmacists are your primary conduit to medications. and one of our principal goals is to improve the quality of life for those who come to us for help. But faculty and students in the college also conduct innovative research that will lead to the life-enhancing drugs of the future. The College of Pharmacy has been an integral part of Oregon State University for more than 100 years, and we continue to play an important role in helping the university achieve its strategic goals and vision. Through the research and teaching of our world-renowned faculty, we seek to promote healthier, better lives for the people of Oregon. We recognize that the field of pharmacy is expanding and evolving, and we strive to offer the tools and knowledge that our students will need to adapt and thrive in tomorrow's pharmacy profession. The three foundational goals of the College of Pharmacy are to provide excellent professional education for our students and continuing education for practicing pharmacists; to foster outstanding and innovative research; and to contribute to public health by developing and promoting ways to provide medications safely and affordably. The OSU College of Pharmacy also has a very strong history. A department of chemistry and pharmacy was established in 1898 at Oregon Agricultural College with a four-year program leading to a B.S. degree in pharmacy. This four-year curriculum was an exception in pharmaceutical education of that era. Most pharmaceutical curriculums wore two-year programs through the first quarter of the twentieth century. An interesting fact some may not know is that the College of Pharmacy wasn't the original name. The name was changed beginning with the 1983-84 academic year, the School of Pharmacy became the College of Pharmacy. Graduates of the school of Pharmacy continue to do great things after they graduate as well finding positions in community, hospital, and nursing home pharmacies, in the pharmaceutical industry, government services, and in pharmaceutical education.

The University Exploratory Studies office in located in Waldo Hall. Waldo Hall is also home to the Writing Center and the Academic Success Center. Both these centers are very useful and most students do not use them to their full advantage. The university has these specific centers to ensure that everything runs smoothly in the students college career, and if it's not going smoothly they are there to help. If students have any questions or needs to talk to advisor about what they are going to do with their lives, the University Exploratory Studies Program is amazing at helping people do what they want to do with their lives. They have helped many students througout the university and have found the right major for each person. The college also has many different activities that has students meet one another and socialize. At the beginning of the year everyone during Connect week had their convocation walk and it is a lot of fun for students to meet who else is undecided about their major and see that they are not the only ones. All in all the University Exploratory Studies Program helps out students figure out what they want to do with their lives.

The Mission states that OSU Engineering is fully committed to creating extraordinary engineers and research solutions to the world's most pressing problems, while fueling prosperity through innovation for Oregon and beyond. OSU Engineering holds high expectations for their students and they do not lower them. The college has been growing tremendously every year with 766 engineers graduating last year. There are several different areas of engineering that OSU offers which include Biological and Ecological Engineering, Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering. Civil and Construction Engineering, Electrical Engineerings and many other types of engineering. The college offers a variety of different fields of study so when starting most students start off with just general engineering and then narrow down and pick a specific field. Research and innovation are very well received in the College of Engineering. Many students have hands on projects where they have to build different items and make it work. The engineering students thrive to create something new and innovative to help make something. This year at the Expo, held at the Kelley Engineering Center, students had booths all around with their different projects ready to explain and demonstrate it to anyone that is interested. The Expo creates an atmosphere where everyone can share their ideas and test out their models of things they have been working on for months. Another interesting event that happens is that the College of Engineering holds career fairs specifically only for people wanting to hire an engineer. This is very beneficial to students who are soon to be graduating and they want to find a job. It is also beneficial to those who are not looking for a job just yet but is interested in what is out in the real world. The College of Engineering is a wonderful college and turns out innovative people who will help the change the world.

Photo provided by the College of Veterinary Medicine i Veterinary The College of Veterinary Medicine educates students in animal health and the diseases and risks certain types of animals may have. As one of the newer colleges facilities are limited. The college was started in 1979 with the first facility built in 1980. Before it was built students were required to go to Washington State University, which already had an established Veterinary Program. In 1975 the Oregon State Legislator felt the need to increase the amount of veterinarians in the state . It was then decided that the only way to increase veterinarians in the state was the have a facility to educated veteri- narians. Nearly 30 years late the university added a small animal clinic to the campus. The college has two departments. The department of Biomedical Sciences and the department of Clinical Sciences. In Biomedical Sciences students learn about anatomy, infectious diseases, and public health. In Clinical Sciences students learn about surgery cardiology and anesthetics surgery. Students in this college are given internships and are able to have prior work experience before graduating. The college also pairs with the Corvallis Humane Society giving students even more resources. The Lois Bates Acheson Veterinary Teaching Hospital was designed to give students experience with animals and practicing. The hospital is open to the public for people to bring their sick animals. A helpful resource to the students in the College of Veterinary Medicine is the McDowell Veterinary Library . It is used by faculty, students, and the community. It is full of materials about veterinary medicine as well as materials comparing human medicine to veterinary medicine.

With over fifty countries offered, some of the countries that students can study are Austria, Australia, England, Italy, and Spain. Students may go abroad for up to a year, but most usually last one term. Through the study abroad program some students are able to receive their International Degree and others are able to have an eye opening experience. It is a good experience for Oregon State students to see what it's like to live in another country, as well as travel parts of the world. Lacy Heiberg went to Australia for her study abroad. She attended Macquarie University right outside of Sydney, Australia and studied a variety of classes: Music, Anthropology, and Demographics. While Lacy was in Australia she went out and tried tons of things such as bungee jumping in the rain forest, scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, surfing, hiking everywhere, sailing in the Whit Sundays, camping on Fraser Island, and the list goes on. Mary Hall went to England for her study abroad. She is in a great place where she is able to travel to tons of places. A couple places she went where Great Britain and United Kingdom. In Great Britain she was able to find the fleur-de-lis, which reminded her of home and her sorority sisters. She also went around and saw some of the historical buildings we’ve all heard about such as Westminster Palace, Buckingham Palace and more. While being in the UK Mary has been able to go to some fun event like the Oxford vs. Cambridge boat race and the England vs. Ukraine soccer game. All in all, students have a great time going abroad and learn even more then they ever imagined. Story by Kimberly Thompson Hall finds this fleur-de-lis symbol.

Oregon State University offers many relgious and spiritual groups to give students a place to praise and a group of people that share the same beliefs as them. Campus Crusades for Christ is one of the largest and most well known religious groups on campus. Campus Crusades for Christ has many retreats and barbeques for students to get together and meet eachother. This gives them an opportunity to praise and sing together and share common interest. The Campus Crusade for Christ meets Wednesdays at 8 in the Escape Club (MU East International Forum). Another group on campus is the Lutheran Student Movement.

These include the Beever freezer, duathlon, Badminton Tourney, cross country invite and the Beaver Classic, and Beaver Fever. Sports clubs allow students who want to compete on a higher level, but do not want to be on a varsity sport. The club teams are a great way to meet people that play the same sport and want to have some good competition. Each club sets specific times to practice and they go and compete with other schools and oth- er teams around the area. Sports Clubs are great and students enjoy them tremendously and like the competition it brings. Story By Kelly Coronado Layout By Crystal Hoang Flag football is one of the clubs that students play.

Not because everyone loves fall term or because everyone is exciting for a new school year. Fall 2008 was exciting because it meant it was election season. Many groups showed their dedication by setting up booths in the MU Quad to educate and help students with voting decisions. Political groups are a great way to get educated about issues. At a typical political group meeting students share and discuss issues that they find wrong with certain branches of government. Discussing what they feel needs changed helps them with making certain voting decisions and even possibily contacting members of local and state governements to ensure change. The two groups seen on campus the most last fall were the College Democrats and College Republicans. The College Democrats were seen in the MU Quad almost every weekday starting at the very beginning of the school year going all the way until the day of the election. Oregon State College Democrats also promoted and sold the O Bama shirts which were a hit among students. The two groups debated eachother and tried to sway students to agree with their side. These groups aren't just College Republicans and College Democrats. Other political social awareness groups include: Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, Pro-Choice OSU, Right to Life, and Oregon State University Environmental Activists.

With all these ethnicities, there are many different ethnic and cultural organizations that students can join. With so many different organizations, every student is pretty much guarenteed in finding an organization they would want to join if they wanted to. Being part of these different organizations is a lot of fun for students and gives them something fun to do when at school. Students meet many people through these organizations and are able to share their cultures with one another. The organizations all have different events that they hold from the luau to different ethnic nights where there is food and entertainment. With the different cultural nights, students are able to show off their culture and the different things that their culture does. It is a great learning experience for everyone that is interested in learning about the rest of the world. All in all, these organizations bring the campus closer together.

Each team came into this election with past experiences from being a resident assistant to being the president of a fraternity, to being the director of government affairs etc. The candidates participated in a number of ways to get their names out there. They stood in the quad for hours, went house to house in the greek system, made posters and handouts, made t-shirts, spoke in classrooms, and more. After the first de- bate one of the candidate teams had to be eliminated. Students had two nights to vote and the results after the first vote left Van Drimmelen-Schock and Ferris-Madrigal in the campaign. Both teams worked as hard as they could and continued having debates. It was an intense finish though. Van Drimmelen-Schock beat Ferris-Madrigal by 7 votes in the second eliminations. Van Drimmelen-Schock had some infractions but they were overruled, which means the 2009-2010 President and Vice President of ASOSU is Chris Van Drimmelen and Kevin Schock.

Harris Black Cultural Center is to complement the academic program of studies and enrich the quality of campus life for African and African-American students at Oregon State University. The Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center came about much the same way as many Cultural Centers around the country; through student protests, sacrifice, relentless determination, and struggle. Students rose above the challenges when they were put to the test. In 1968, the Black Student Union (BSU) membership was approximately 50 Black students. In March of 1969, Educational Opportuni- ties Program (EOP) and organizations of Minority and Special Services Programs recruited 26 students of African descent and 15 other students came on their own. During the same year the BSU declared their intention to leave OSU due to discriminatory acts. Students boycotted classes and sporting events. In the winter of 1969, 25 Black students picked up withdrawal slips. Between 1969 and 1972, the number of students recruited by EOP increased from 50 to approximately 125 students. In 1970, the Office of Minority Affairs was created. Three years later, a cultural center opened on campus for students of color. The Native Americans, Hispan- ics, and blacks collectively had a center to call their own. On April 26th, 1975, the BSU opened a cultural center to call their own, thanks to the associated students of OSU. the Alumni Center, and the community. After the official opening in 1975. the BSU Cultural Center s name was changed to the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center. Lonnie B. Harris was the first director of the EOP.

The Longhouse serves as a place of multicultural and inter-cultural education. This is a place to exchange ideals and promote positive discourse for all groups. Native and non-Native people have access to information on Native cultures, traditions and the rich heritage of the Native peoples. The Native American Longhouse is used as a teaching area for traditional singing, dancing, storytelling and ceremony. The Native American Longhouse was established in 1971 but moved into its current location in 1972. The Native American Longhouse at Oregon State University is a community of people from diverse, racial, ethnic class backgrounds, national origins, religious, political beliefs and sexual orientation.

At least, that's how you'll get hooked. After you spend some time with the staff and volunteers or attend one of their many programs— like Cooking for One , The Feminist Fair , and International Women’s Voices --they bet you will want to spend more time in the little blue house. Established in 1972, the Women's Center is a great place to kickstart a career in activism, form new friendships and find resources you probably didn't even know existed. In April, 2009, a charter agreement was signed by student leaders and adminstrators promising that there will always be a Women's Center at OSU.This historic agreement reflects the value of not only the space, but also the eduction and support provided to students at OSU. Women interested in leadership and mentoring have several opportunites to get involved. The Women's Leadership Initiative offers education, workshops, networking and conference opportunities to students interested in making a difference. Everone is welcome to stop by for a visit and the staff members promise that at the Women's Center, you will always feel like you belong.

Their mission is to educate students and members of the community about the various asian cultures and to provided leadership. The APCC was established in 1991 by faculty and staff of OSU when they saw a need for a center for the Asian and Pacific Islander cultures. Students a part of APCC have a lot of fun and do many different activities and events throughout the school year. There are many times throughout the year where they cook various asian food and have a feast at the center. One of the events that they help with is the Luau in Spring Term. The students help out to make sure all the food is ordered and the show will run smoothly. Students have a lot of fun at the center and have a place to hang out when they have free time. The cultural center has been a great ad- dition and has been growing every year.

After many hearings it was decided in 2000 that Oregon State University would start the Queer Resource Center. A budget of $7,000 was granted in order to start the center. The mission of the Pride Center is to provide resources to the students who seek it. They are also about creating awarenss and promoting advocacy. By bringing students together they can help eachother with friendships, rela- tionships, and college life in general. The center itself is a great place to study and socialize with other students. There is a large staff that is willing t help students and be there for guidance. Some of the great resources that the pride center has are clipboards to browse and add information to, featuring categories such as: Scholarships targeting LGBT students, Housing Roommates wanted, Coming Out Information, Local events, General Information on Sexuality, Local groups, Local resources as well as Health information. The envionment at the pride center is very welcoming the building offers a safe and comfortable space for queer and allied students to: Hang out, Study, Eat lunch and Learn about LGBT individuals. At the beginning of the school year the pride center had its annual bar-beque meet and greet. The barbeque was a great opportunity to let incoming freshman get to know the staff and other students. The Pride Center often works hand in hand with the Rainbow Continum for events like drag shows and Pride Week.

As some may notice today, IFC Sing is performed by both the fraternities and sororities. The reason for this is because when the men went to war, women wanted to keep the tradition going so they started performing the musicals until the men were able to come back. The sororities really enjoyed this though and wanted to continue to perform so when the men came back they proposed a plan for fraternities and sororities to perform together, and it has been going on ever since. Fraternities and sororities live for sing each year. The performers are mainly the freshmen class. It's a good way for the two houses paired up to meet each other and bond. The teams are put together and start practicing in January and practice until they perform on mom’s weekend, which is the first weekend in May. This year there were ten performances and each team worked very hard. The teams were paired as follows: Kappa Delta and Chi Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Chi Omega and Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Chi Omega and Pi Kappa Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Theta Chi, Sigma Kappa and Delta Upsilon, Alpha Phi and Sigma Phi Epsilon, Delta Delta Delta and Phi Delta Theta, Delta Gamma and Lambda Chi Alpha, and Alpha Gamma Delta and Sigma Chi. Each team did very well, and this year Alpha Chi Omega and Pi Kappa Phi were awarded first place with their upbeat performance to the musical Annie. They were also most improved throughout the four months. Second place was Delta Gamma and Lambda Chi Alpha performing Back to the ‘80s, and third was Kappa Alpha Theta and Theta Chi performing Across the Universe.

The Phi Chapter was installed at Oregon State in May of 1921, and has had strong membership ever since. We strive to inspire our women, and impact the world. Alpha Gamma Delta prides itself in providing opportunities for personal development through the spirit of sisterhood. No matter where life takes an Alpha Gam. she will always find herself surrounded by sisterhood. As the second line in our Purpose states, the health and wellbeing of our sisters has always been a primary concern in Alpha Gamma Delta. Diabetes, our chosen philanthropic focus, continues to affect our members and their friends, families and acquaintances at an astounding rate, and as a sisterhood, and we have the unique opportunity to look to each other for support and education. The Fraternity's new philanthropy campaign, Defeat Diabetes One Step at a Time, seeks to do just that. Our annual Dining for Diabetes banquet was held April 7,2009, and was once again a success! We were able to raise over $2,000 for our Philanthropy. The sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta recognize that scholarship is one of the most important aspects of university and sorority life. Together, we continually strive to achieve academic excellence. The chapter assures that each member is provided with the support, encouragement, and resources she needs to do her best in her studies. For our Studious Squirreels, we offer a quiet study room in the house, test files, assistance in finding a tutor on cam- pus, study groups within the house, and scholarship improvement plans We are pleased to announce that not only were we able to raise our house GPA above a 3.0, but were awarded Most Improved in Academics this year by the Panhellenic Council. Once again, Alpha Gamma Delta had a very successful year. Holding three house dances, various social activities and giving back over 200 hours of community service to the community the sisters continue to stay involved. We were able to gain over 30 new Baby Squirrel members through recruti-ment, and the chapter looks forward to another great year at Oregon State. Things are staying fun and crazy at the Nut House!

Photo By: Alpha Gamma Delta Phi Delta Theta Phi Delta Theta Oregon Beta's history dates back to the era when Oregon State University was still known as Oregon Agriculture College. The chapter itself was preceded by a local fraternity, the second ever on campus, named Kappa Sigma Nu. The chapter house has many great men pass through its ranks, from a Heisman Trophy winner to a governor of Oregon. Most notably though, despite its ups and downs, the chapter has always had strong support from its alumni base, further supporting the most important line in the manual of Phi Delta Theta; To transmit the fraternity to those who may follow after, not only not less, but greater than it was transmitted to me. Phi Delta Theta prides itself on the 3 cardinal priciples: Sound Learning, Moral Rectitude, and Friendship. During the 2008-2009 school year Phi Delta Theta was extremely active in the Greek and campus community. Placing first in Delta Gamma's Anchor Splash philanthropy, first place in Christmas Lights competition, second in Kappa Delta’s Mock Rock Lip-sync philanthropy, and participation in all major philanthropies and competitions including Greek Week, Kappa Alpha Theta and Alpha Phi's Mr. Mantastic, and All University SING with Delta Delta Delta sorority. With weekly brotherhood events, functions, dances and an emphasis on giving back to the community, Phi Delta Theta's alumni relations and support from the community propel the chapter even more to succeed and maintain the reputable status that is Phi Delta Theta: Oregon Beta Written By: Phi Delta Theta Layout By: Crystal Hoang ¥ New freshman pledge class receiving their pledge eertificates after the 'Phikeia' Ceremony Photo By: Phi Dello Theta !‘ ’ 1.1 Phi Delta Theta House: 13th and Monroe 1st place Christmas lights competition Photo By: Phi Delta Theta Phi Delta Theta 227 Sigma Lambda Delta Sigma Lambda Delta is an unhoused, non-traditional sorority that was founded in 2003 at Oregon State Univerity. The ladies of Sigma Lambda Delta welcome members from all backgrounds and embrace each others’ differences. Our members either attend Oregon State University or Linn Benton Community College. Our philanthropy is to assist abused and abandoned domesticated animals. We work closely with hearland Humane Society (located in South Corvallis), volunteering at the shelter and at events they hold throughout the year, we also do other forms of community service, such as the Adopt-a-High-way Program. Our stretch of highway is the first two miles out of town after the bridge on Hwy. 34. We do highway cleanups three times a year. We recently started volunter-ring for Kitten Angel Team Adoption (KATA). Every term we have a special event sponsored by the sorority for the members to take part in. Fall term we do an activity usually centered around the arts, such as going to the ballet or painting pottery together. Winter term we treat ourselves to formal dinner at an upscale restaurant. Our annual sorority retreat takes place during Spring Term over a weekend. This is our chance to kick back relax and reflect on the school year!
