BcvcScrs at Braver Bits A group of students and a dog are enjoying themselves as the band plays the classic Surfing U.S. A.- Four different bands provided entertainment for the small crowds. Vacancy At the 14th St. field, people wander the desolate grounds. Because of the weather, the attendance was at an all-time low. but the people that did go enjoyed the Corvallis food and the entertainment available. A Bite in the Air Overcast weather limits Beaver Bite attendance The move from the Memorial Union Quad to the 14th St. field didn't stop the Beaver Bite's continued tradition of live entertainment, food from Corvallis restaurants and of course rainy weather. Still, the show went on. The highlight of the May 18th event was the music. Bands included Soma Trio, Red Over White, Tourists and Lip to Lip. Each band played two hour intervals which made it nice for the listening public. Everyone got a different taste of music. The food at the Beaver Bite was outstanding. Any type of food desired could be found. Toa Yuen provided Chinese food. Yogurt Mill was there with soft serve frozen yogurt and various specialties, TOGO'S provided the sandwiches. Burton's catered their family style cooking. Domino's had their various pizzas available, Nearly Normal's showed up for the cautious vegetarian and The Wet Burrito was there with their enchiladas and other Mexican specialties. for the past two years attendance has plummeted at the Beaver Bite. Contributing factors were the never changing weather and the lack of popular bands. Last year a lot of people came out for the Crazy Eights. The brave crowd at Beaver Bite was a mixture of people from children to students to senior citizens. The event was sponsored by MUPC, KBVR. KEJO KELY, and KBVR-TV. The event was simulcast on KBVR to spread the music all over Corvallis, so not just the brave ones could enjoy the concert. Entertainment was also available. OSU Elite Dance Team provided some funky dance steps and Brinkcr Gildcrslceve, winner of the MUPC Night at the Improv provided stand-up comedy for passer-bys. The Beaver Bite was great fun for the bands, the students and the community of Corvallis. Denise Rohrbeck 16 Beaver Bite

University Day traditionally was held at the beginning of the academic year, before the start of fall term classes. Displays were set up so that visitors and honorees could admire the different departments and services OSU offered. OSU honored employees who reached longtime service anniversaries. Among the many departments displayed were the Communication Media Center which provided all the media equipment for the university and departments from the College of Science and the College of Agriculture. The departments set up their displays that depicted a historical theme After a lengthy reception with food and beverage, guests were asked to stay for President Byrne's address and the awards ceremony which honored faculty and staff for their achievement in teaching and advising as well as awards for faculty service, outstanding employees, dedication to the university. The ceremony also honored the top graduate and research assistants at OSU. Many faculty and staff were honored with plaques and applause from the audience.
