 x CCer Court ‘Madness On its third anniversary, Miller Court Madness, formally named Midnight at Miller Court, introduced both OSU men’s and women’s basketball teams for the basketball season. It just changed names this year because it is no longer held at midnight, explained Amy Freeman, Director of Marketing. The annual event attracts 2,000-3,000 people according to Freeman. New men’s head basketball coach Ritchie McKay was welcomed to the world of OSU sports with some very entertaining events. I am really anxious to get going, stated Coach McKay. Coach McKay had previously coached at Colorado State University, leading them to the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) in 1999. Now leading OSU, he is the sixth coach in over seven decades of men’s basketball at OSU. This year featured both the men and women’s basketball teams who performed a variety of clever skits and entertainment throughout the evening. The women’s basketball team conducted a creative dance routine while lip-syncing to songs by the Jackson Five and Christina Aguilera. The OSU marching band and basketball cheerleading squad also made appearances during the event. Story by Jordan Ford and Lisa McDougald One of the highlights of Miller Court Madness was the rendition of “Come on Over, orginally sung by teen pop-artist Christina Aguilera. Members of the OSU women’s basketball team performed the lip sync fronted by sophomore guard Michelle listell. Hwho by Eliubob Erwin 10 A stuefent fife

Combine a rapidly growing student body, a winning football team, and swelling pride amongst alumni; we would have the formula for what could be designated one of the most successful OSU Homecoming celebrations in recent years. The week of October 22 - 28 was Homecoming Spirit week. There was an exciting schedule of activities including the Tug-of-War games, House Decoration, Bonfire, Beaverwalk and Yell Like Hell . Beaver spirits were high as a raging Bonfire was set at Reser Stadium sponsored by the Student Alumni Association. The crowd watched as a giant, paper-wrapped cougar effigy, which represented Washington State University’s mascot, was hurled into the fire. All throughout Homecoming Week, many student organizations competed against each other for participation points. The Homecoming 2000 winners were Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority and Sigma Pi Fraternity. The Homecoming football game ended the week with a bang as Oregon State won against WSU with a remarkable 24 point lead finishing the game at 30-6.

Sackctt won the competition and will be back next year to defend their title. Photo by Mklud Benda A young boy shakes Benny Beaver’s hand to wish him a Happy Birthday.
