Along with the bonfire, four football players came out to talk to their fans about their hopes for the game. The Beavers were victorious beating Arizona 38-3. Friday night was the Civil War volleyball game. As the female athletes came out onto the floor they were welcomed by screaming fans. They played with their own special Beaver talent. Alpha Phi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon competed against Hawley Hall during the annual tug-of-war contest held at half time of the football game. The men and women of Hawley Hall came out the winners. Along with the tug-of-war, many different living groups wanted the chance to show their love of Oregon State by decorating their houses.

The athletic events called on many for support. They ranged from football to soccer and swimming to crew. All around campus the expertise of the athletes showed through in the special beaver spirit that they themselves possessed. Both the young and the old came out in all types of whether to show their compassion or support for their beavers. Some painted their faces while others painted their stomachs. No matter how they showed their own unique support for the orange and black, they all came together as one. Many felt that simply wearing the letters of Oregon State is enough.

Saturday was filling with many more activities. Moms were invited to the MU to get pampered, watch Cool Shoes perform, play Vo Mama Game Show , walk around the renaissance Faire, and look at the art, gifts, and crafts, along with many other activities happening around campus.

The events ranged from sporting events such as football, softball and kickball to talent and beauty shows like Mock Rock, Anchor Splash, and Miss Minerva. People from all around the community benefited from these amazing events that took place all throughout the year. Approximately one event every weekend took place to raise money for a deserving organization. The amazing students of Oregon State took time out of their busy schedules to acknowledge that there were people in this world less fortunate then themselves. Kids, mothers, homeless and many more are just a few that benefited from the events that took place. Sometimes people needed a little extra help and that was just what these organized events did, they helped people through tough times in their lives. The money raised saved a new born baby, or the food collected allowed a family to eat a nice dinner, or the care that the supporters of the event gave may have helped a family through the cancer story that they shared. Everyone helped in their own way and to some it created a miracle.

The Blazers and Sorties combined to shoot 74 percent from the field in the first half of pre-season action as defense for both squads was hard to come by in Gill Coliseum. The second half was all Portland as the Blazers pulled away for a 110-98 victory led mostly by the reserves. The Blazers built a 45-38 lead midway through the second period, but Vladimir Radmanovic, a 6-foot-10 forward, hit three 3-pointers to bring Seattle back. After halftime the Sonics cooled down considerably, going a miserable 4-20 in the third period and shooting only 3 percent for the second half. Before the game Brent Berry, Oregon State '95, and Gary Payton, '90, were given a standing ovation by the crowd. Barry was gracious enough to give a few words, although most of them were in praise of Payton who Berry referred to as a hall-of-fame point guard. It's good to be back here at Oregon State, said Barry. I thought it would be nice to say something to the fans before the game. When asked about the turnout of the crowd for the contest, Barry said, The crowds were a lot bigger here when G (Payton | played. Story contributed by A.J.

Many musical groups have made appearances at OSU over the past year. A few highlights were Floater, 800 Octane, Stereocrush, Michelle Branch, and One Fry Short. Floater, an amazing rock trio that got their start in Eugene made a second appearance April 18th, 2003 at the hot new dance club, Escape. Each Floater album had a different sound, but all have the same 'art rock' vibe. Though the band consisted only of 3 members many said the band brings more musical ability than similar groups twice their size. Once you've experienced Floater, their music will hook you and you will wonder where they've been your whole life. 800 Octane brought a little rock 'n' roll to the OSU campus. 800 Octane labeled their music super rock . The music was known to some to be loud, punchy, in-your-face power chord rock. Michelle Branch brought a sense of cheer and excitement to her performance. Though the turn out wasn't great she still managed to put on an energetic show. This was only a small sample of the musical talent presented at OSU.

The weekend of October 3-5, 2002 was the grand opening of Escape, a nonalcohol, student oriented nightclub, located in Snell Hall on OSU campus. Different types of entertainment could be found there every weekend. During the first half of the year on Thursday nights it was opened from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. for dance night. Friday night was hip-hop from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Saturday, doors opened at 9 for live bands. The club also provided a place for daytime events or could be rented out. The club was more commonly used on a rental base. Escape was made possible by donations from the campus community. Jason Rodriquez, an OSU student, worked on the plan for quite some time with the help of various people in the OSU community and loads of help from student involvement throughout the process. A recent survey at OSU indicated that students felt there were few alternatives for entertainment and social gathering spots on campus or in the community, especially alcohol-free locations. These types of clubs were an ongoing trend in many campuses across the nation and were increasing in popularity.

They used different colors and fabric to put their own spin on a special look Hmade just for them. Some of the styles had been around for years and some come and go with I the different generations. Among college students the looks they possess were ever changing. Everyone liked to express their own unique style. Around us were so many different styles that it was so hard to categorize just a few. Those who liked to dress in the top of the line clothes, found that specialty stores that sell dirty washed jeans and collared shirts was the place to go. The preppy look, as many would call it, was a very popular look among college students. A way for them to show that their way of being comfortably dressed was by wearing the earth tones and tiny tees. Another group of young individuals liked to where very comfortable hoodies and jeans, known as the college look. The flared or baggy jeans and hooded sweatshirts were being worn by many. The sweatshirts came in all colors and were worn by both sexes. Wearing black and red and creating fun different looks with their hair was another group of people. They liked to express themselves by dying their hair and wearing plaid skirts and army boots. Many liked to wear baggy pants and big tennis shoes as they made their way to class. They were into fashion and being their own unique person. Finally were those that surround us everywhere, the athletes and athletic supporters. They were a group of individuals that were wearing sports jerseys, sweatpants, and running shoes. Many people could be seen with the special colors of orange and black around this campus whether they participated or supported. Everyone around us had their own sense of style and how they chose to show it was their own. Some dyed their hair and others supported their team. The looks that people possessed will go down in history and some will never be forgotten.

This year was no exception. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration has always been successful, said Phyllis Lee, Oregon State University Celebration Committee Head and Director of Office of Multicultural Affairs. Success was not based on the number of people attending the events, but the quality of the programs, said Lee. Any Community, One Dream: Diversity, Unity and Hope was the theme for this year's celebration and the committee maintained that vision as they planned and implemented 30 different events. Lee said, Planning involved many people with different perspective and it helped empower the students to learn and make things happen.” More than two dozen people were on the planning committee and many more volunteered throughout the celebration. The highlight of this celebration was the 21st annual Peace Breakfast held on Martin Luther King, Jr. day. This breakfast entertained 250-300 guests with student speakers and award ceremonies.

The Student-Athlete Advisory IT committee presented it's first ever show case at the CH2M Alumni Center last year. The showcase, titled The Other side brought out Oregon State athletes' other talents. The committee, which was made up of two representatives from each athletic team and four from football, put on the event to raise money for the Joe Zaher Scholarship fund. Zaher, who passed away on December 1, 2002 due to injuries sustained in a car accident, was a huge asset to the men's soccer team physically and emotionally. This whole thing was happening tonight basically to keep the awareness of Joe alive, SAAC head Courtney Carter said. It was planned before his passing for alumni and booster clubs and the people who supported us to see our other talents — but we turned it into a chance to remember Joe. The evening began as men's soccer head coach Dana Taylor said a few words about the memories of Zaher and soccer player Stephen Hensor, who died earlier. Following Taylor's speech, a short video put together by the team was played, highlighting Zaher's time at Oregon State. Following many great performances. Bob De Carolis, Athletic Director closed the night by reminding audience members that Zaher will always be remembered.

Students in the College of Agricultural Sciences came from a broad range of backgrounds and pursued an even broader range of careers, from traditional production agriculture to such disciplines as environmental law, food technology, and bioresource research. Students in the College of Agricultural Sciences knew that the world was their classroom. They had the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge in fun and exciting field and laboratory settings—capturing wildlife, exploring ecosystems, and creating new food products, to name just a few. Some students pursued internships internationally— studying cheetahs in Africa or working in royal gardens in Great Britain. Others participated in the study abroad program at Lincoln University in Canterbury, New Zealand. No matter how diverse their background or interests, the students in the College of Agricultural Sciences enjoyed the opportunity to join numerous student organizations. With over thirty clubs to choose from, extracurricular opportunities abounded. During May, the Agriculture Executive Council sponsored the very popular Ag Day festivities in the MU quad—inviting the OSU community to celebrate agriculture and enjoy Oregon's abundant natural resources. Oregon State University was one of the leading five to participate in the Sun Grant Initiative. The Sun Grant initiative was designed to be an Extension Program dedicated to research on renewable energy and biobased, non-food industries. Its purpose was to use agriculture to reduce dependence on imported fossil and produce viable economic alternatives to bolster the Nation's independent farmers. The program hoped to enhance America's energy security and promote economic opportunities in America's rural communities through the development and implementation of biobased energy technologies.

This renewed commitment to education at OSU presented an exciting opportunity to reinvent the new School of Education to meet the educational challenges of our time. The School had new programs and a new spirit. Professor and Dean of the School of Education Sam Stern hoped that ...our new School of Education will become known for our creativity, our connection with others, our attention to culture and our caring for everyone we work with. The new School of Education offered an array of graduate degrees and programs to prepare teachers, counselors, educators, and other educational professionals for careers in schools, community colleges, business and industry. Additionally, the College Student Services Administration program prepared college student services professionals, and 4-H Youth Development, a statewide program with faculty working in every Oregon county to prepare volunteers to provide educational experiences for youth in and out of school. Many of the programs transcended traditional boundaries and reached out to students in new ways. The Community College Leadership and Adult Education Programs met off-campus so they were more accessible to working professionals. The Early Childhood Elementary Education Program provided internships in an inner-city Portland elementary school and supported to earn teaching certificates for bilingual teaching aids in Salem-Keizer. The Counselor Education Program had an innovative summer-sequential program to help classroom teachers become counselors, and the web-based Professional Technical Education Program reached students throughout the state.

Prior to my enrollment at Oregon State I worked with children who were at risk for drug-abuse, teen-age pregnancy, and high-school drop-out. I worked extensively with eight boys as a mentor. My role was to cultivate a loving, caring, and long-term relationship with each child. I assisted them with long and shortterm goals along with teaching social, physical, and academic skills. After spending countless hours imparting life values, I inevitably developed a love for teaching. As a student enrolled in the Oregon State Education Program, I believe that education is one of the key solutions to society's problems. Coupling the high quality training I'm receiving at Oregon State University and the strong interpersonal skills I developed as a mentor, 1 am optimistic that my passion to help and serve others will flourish and extend in a greater way both qualitatively and qualitatively.

I am finishing my graduate MAT program in education and am looking forward to a fulfilling career starting as a third grade teacher at an international school in Holland. Why Holland you might wonder? My background is that I was born and raised in Holland. At the age of 15 my family moved to Oregon. Living in Holland during my most impressionable years of my life left me with a strong infinity to my native country. After receiving my undergraduate degree I returned to Holland and became a kindergarten teacher for two years. This gave me the strive and push to continue my career in the international system, being able to identify and relate to many of my international students. It seems that my dreams have come true. Identifying a goal and keeping your focus on that goal in the beliefs that you can achieve it, is your first step toward success. Stick to your dreams, as they will come true. Story by Tracy VanderHave Tracy VanderHave academics spot fight ♦57 Engineering Oregon State University's School of Engineering moved up in rank from number 83 to number 70 in the nation this year. Since it was founded in 1891, the College of Engineering was originally a design of the Oregon State Land Grant. Approximately 26,000 engineers have graduated since. The school had eight different departments that included: bioengineering, chemical, civil, environmental, computer science, electrical, industrial, manufacturing, mechanical, nuclear, and radiation health. It was one of 400 accredited engineering schools and it doubled its number of top student applicants as well as its amount of research programs. The important ingredients were people and ideas, and It was the young people who developed the ideas, said Dean Ron Adams. This year the school had 3,700 students enrolled, 3,100 of which were undergraduate and 600 of which were graduate. It also added five new significant research programs. One of those was the plans for a laboratory which was under con- struction for the study of tsunami waves. The lab will recreate the waves and a top tsunami research has been recruited for the facility. OSU Engineering was chosen as a location for this new lab partly because of its understandings of the physical aspects of creating the waves. The other reason was the fact that, we had some of the best information technology, said Dean Adams. The Kelley Engineering Building was under construction right in the heart of the campus will be ready for the fall of 2004. It will be the new site for the electrical and computer sciences branch of the engineering program. We had a group of people who were passionate about developing the next generation of engineers and created new ideas that had an impact on society and touched people's lives, and that was what was driving out success, said Dean Adams in conclusion.

So when I started asking how things worked they were more than happy to give me the tools and information necessary to fuel my curiosity. One such example was when 1 wanted to know about electric circuits, my dad bought me a build your own telephone” soldering kit. After building that phone, I knew I wanted to know more about circuits and some day my job would involve them. Attending Oregon State and majoring in computer engineering was an easy choice for me since 1 loved math and science and wanted to be able to design new computer hardware. The summer after I graduated from high school I was selected to attend National Youth Science Camp for a month in West Virginia along with two people from every state. That was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. 1 had the opportunity to try out so many new things and meet so many new people who shared my interest in math and science and all other things nerdy. My freshman year involved a lot of learning for me. 1 found that it was no longer possible to simply attend class and do only the required homework and expect to get an A. College took work, and a lot of it. However it wasn't all work and no play. I became a huge fan of Beaver football and cheered them on through their 11-1 season.

Advice to underclassman: Go to class every day, do every homework assignment, and use the free tutoring available. I have enjoyed computers all of my life, and being able to study as a Computer Engineering student has been an awesome opportunity for me. My grandmother bought my family our first computer in the early 1990s. Our house was burned down shortly after, and the computer melted with it. A few years after that, our grandmother bought us another computer. 1 learned a lot about how computers worked, and how to fix them due to the fact that I broke it so many times, and had to fix it before I was caught! I was lucky enough to show great promise, from my middle school to high school years, in computers and had many opportunities and encouragement from teachers and family to continue on.

Students experienced a rigorous, demanding, hands-on, professional education. The educational environment was warm and supportive. College of Forestry students were a friendly, close-knit group. Professors taught their own classes and interacted with students daily. They were caring and accessible—students and professors were on a first-name basis. The undergraduate experience was enriched by senior capstone courses, field courses, on-site visits, and professional meetings. Student-led clubs and activ ities helped students develop leadership skills and gain valuable contacts with working professionals. Oregon State Univ ersity's College of Forestry has been educating professionals for a century. They have earned a reputation as a world-class center of teaching and learning about forests and related resources. They offered undergrad- Forestry uate and graduate degrees in four departments. Forest Engineering, Forest Resources, Forest Science, and Wood Science and Engineering. They also jointly offered an interdisciplinary undergraduate degree in Natural Resources and several interdisciplinary graduate programs. They operated about 14,000 acres of College Forests, most of it within minutes of campus. Oregon State University was a Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant university, an NCAA Division I university, and a member of the Pac-10 athletic conference. It was the only Oregon school, and one of just 88 nationwide, to carry the prestigious ranking of a Carnegie Research I institution. The mission of the College of Forestry, as part of Oregon's Land, Sea, and Space Grant University, was to educate and engage the next generation of scholars, practitioners, and users of the world's forest resources, to conduct distinctive problem-solving and fundamental research on the nature and use of forests and related resources, and to share our discoveries and knowledge with others.

After high school, I left for college feeling like I knew who I was and where I was going, but after five years of college I am a very different person. At first, I could walk all the way across OSU without recognizing anyone, but now I can barely go between buildings without seeing someone I know. Through classes, the Forestry Club, Tau Beta Pi, and other activities 1 have met quite a few people and I have made some good friends. I have also become somewhat of a legend in the forestry circle for having the Zen-like ability to sleep in class, wake up to answer a question, then go back to my siesta.

Mary's Peak was like a childhood friend and served as my westerly bearing. To the east lay the snow capped Sisters and from within those mountains come some of my best memories of horse camping, backpacking, fishing, and skiing. As farmers, my family vacationed during the winter since our summers were spent harvesting seed. We traveled to Mexico on more than one occasion, to Brazil for the adoption of my brother and sister, and many other exotic locations. 1 remember distinctly our camping trip to Wyoming in 1992. It was then that I was introduced to the Tetons. These mountains, rising directly from the Jackson Hole valley, were more rugged than 1 could imagine.

Talking to the Park Ranger was one of those times. The beauty of God's wonderful creation has shaped and driven me, while it is people that have inspired and directed me.

Eddie Hometown: Elgin, Illinois Year in school: Senior mentally and Junior credit wise. Reason for attending OSU: My girlfriend (Alice Lau) encouraged me to come to Oregon State University. Major: I first wanted to attend the College of Business but I was not interested. I took a couple of courses in HDFS and I knew HDFS was something I saw myself doing and being happy with. Challenges overcome to get here: Growing up without a father and the environment I grew up in. Eddie Maldonado moved from Elgin, lliinios to Corvallis in 1998 to attend OSU. Photo by Eddie Maldoiiado Eddie Maldonado poses with his girlfriend Alice Lau, who encouraged and recruited Eddie to attend Oregon State. Photo by Casey Campbell As I was growing up I had a tendency to get into a lot of trouble and ended up in the Juvenile court system. This is the one system most kids try to avoid. While other kids were participating in team sports, school activities, volunteer programs, etc., I was out on the street with my older brother believing to have a good time. Shoot! I was having such a good time, that I spent about three years (in total) of my teen life (between 13 18 years of age) behind bars. I lived with my brother and my mother; I grew up on the east side of Elgin, Illinois. My neighborhood was rough so you had to learn to survive or people would take advantage of you; worst yet you could end up dead. I learned to protect myself and I did this by only trusting myself, my grandmother, and my closest friends. I had no support or direction from home, (my mother worked from 4pm till midnight) my mother had to work to make ends meet. I started to get into trouble when I was 11 years old. I was out hanging with my friends on the streets. Being with my friends I was always in constant danger, I was fighting (I got stabbed twice; once in the back and once on my hip), skipping school, and doing illegal substances. At this time, I did not see a future for me or for any youngster who grew up in my hood. When I entered high school things turned around. I had a counselor who really motivated and showed me that she cared. She was the first adult to show me they were interested in my life and what I did with it. She made me realize that I did have a future and that I am not only limited to the East side of Elgin. She helped me get connected to the community and with my school. She was the caring adult that every child needs. Now I just want to do the same thing my counselor did for me for other teenagers. I want to show someone that I care. What I am most interested in is being a role model for kids that are growing up in the same unfortunate circumstances as I did. 1 want to show youth that success is for everybody and it is reachable. That it doesn't matter what neighborh x d you grew up in, it doesn't matter if your from a poor-single-parent family, have no father, have had troubles with the law, or any other troubles in you life; you can still succeed. I believe that I have a lot to offer.

Those who completed the requirements of the University Honors College received OSU's I most prestigious undergraduate academic recognition: an Honors Baccalaureate Degree in their major, jointly awarded by the Honors College and the college in which their major was located. The University Honors College strove to facilitate an innovative, cooperative learning community. Motivated students and faculty aspired to create unique opportunities in the classroom, in the laboratory, and outside the traditional university setting. The UHC encouraged leadership, creativity, communication, and service. UHC graduates left the university with the insight and ability to explore and realize their visions for a positive future. Many unusual classes were available for UHC students, including a variety of one-credit colloquia and three-credit special courses. One of the special characteristics of the UHC was that students could nominate either their favorite teacher or favorite classes to be taught in the UHC curriculum. Through these and other enrichment experiences, students gained insight and are introduced to new perspectives. They interacted closely with faculty and one another, enhancing the sense of UHC community Co-curricular activities were an important aspect of the UHC experience and such activities reinforce the ethics of leadership that are integral to participative learning. UHC students had the opportunity to engage in various forms of service learning: acting as peer mentors, leading UHC Forums, serving as teaching assistants in various classes, or providing community service through many different projects. After completing their coursework, the senior project was the last hurdle facing UHC students. Whether it was a traditional research project, a creative effort, or a service-oriented exercise, the capstone project was designed to be the integration of a student's undergraduate experience.

Liberal Studies introduced students to diverse subject matter. In addition to this breadth of new knowledge, students developed communication skills and the ability to think critically. In the College of Liberal Arts opportunities for academic success and enhanced professionalism were provided to all. Students gained the skills and knowledge required to integrate creative problem-solving, with a sense of social responsibility and involvement in activities that enriched the cultural life of the university, Oregon, and the entire world. Students in the College of Liberal Arts received individual attention in student learning communities and had the opportunity to interact in small groups with their professors, many of whom were also their academic advisers. This more personal environment and interaction resulted in the possibility of going beyond surface knowledge to a deeper understanding of the discipline being studied and how it impacted human knowledge, commerce, art and science. The qualifications and accomplishments of the faculty members in the College of Liberal Arts were truly impressive. A strong commitment to teaching by a faculty of great personal achievement and learning ensured that students will receive an excellent education by enrolling in one of the majors offered in the College of Liberal Arts, where successful futures began. Graduates of the OSU Liberal Studies program had careers in a many fields. They were attorneys, business entrepreneurs, writers, school teachers, actors, nurses, graphic designers, and administrators. They worked in marketing, public relations, personnel, government, retail, radio TV, publishing, computer hardware and software, business, and industry. A Liberal Studies program experience could also be a springboard for certain graduate degrees. For example, the Liberal Studies program was a terrific major for students interested in a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree for a career in elementary or secondary education.

I had always been somewhat artistic, but had only taken a introductory course in art. I decided to try and pursue it at the encouragement of my parents I chose to look into graphic design. I liked it but found that I have no love for computers. After taking a printmaking class I decided that I needed a good understanding of the fine arts in order to be successful in any creative field and decided to focus on fine art media here at Oregon State. I have enjoyed the challenge of printing and find that switching to art was a dangerous but good decision. The amount of work and the difficulty of this major is more than anything I have tried. I enjoy the variety of experiences in the art field and also the hard work that it takes to produce good work. I have many interests, but really love to surf, yes even here in Oregon. Due to my demanding major I have had little time to search for waves. I hope that in the future I will be able to split my time between family, art, and surfing in warm water.

Positions held while at OSU: President and treasurer of the Iranian Student Association and the Montage Student Art group, member of the University Convocation and Lecturers Committee and director of MUPC Women's Leadership. Reason for attending OSU: Four year scholarship to pursue art as a major. Artist Tala Madani was featured in the Giustina Gallery located at I .a Sails Stewart Center May of 2003.

Tala Madani spills the world onto canvas. I am Iranian, she says. And Iranians are generally political, aware and interested. My mind is in politics and they (art and politics) just kind of mingle. It's like a quote she heard growing up: When two cultures collide, art happens. As a child growing up in Iran, Madani was introduced to painting during summer art classes. And when she moved to Corvallis in 1994, she learned about jumpstart, the art department's intense summer program for high school students. The next year she enrolled and look photography and painting. She was captivated. The professors offered her a glimpse of an artist's lifestyle, she said. Unlike nigh school art teachers, the college professors were artists themselves. Until then, art hadn't been a career $� oal. Painting was for fun, she says. “For summer Madani says the scholarship helped her decide what field of study she wanted to pursue. She says her work seems dark and often makes people uncomfortable. It's like the lights are off in my paintings, even if I'm working with white or yellow, she says. Madani loves school and wants to earn her M.F.A. in the United States, but she also longs to go back to Iran, where she would try to push people to question the political and social norms through her art. But Madani said aside from her art, sne also wants a day job, although she doesn't yet know what kind.

Their research productivity, the national and international reputations of their faculty, and their success in obtaining external funding allowed them to make significant contributions to global oceanic and atmospheric sciences knowledge. COAS was a graduate research college, and one of the eleven colleges of Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. Their college was a member of the Joint Oceanographic Institutions, a nonprofit corporation comprised of U.S. academic institutions that conducted ocean sciences research and management. Within the college, there were six discipline groups: Atmospheric Sciences, Biological Oceanography, Chemical Oceanography, Physical Oceanography, Marine Geology and Geophysics, and Marine Resources Management. COAS had fifty-two tenure-track faculty, a full-time Dean, and two half-time Associate Deans. There were thirteen research faculty with eighty-eight research support staff, including post-doctoral researchers. In the spring of 2002, there were eighty graduate students. The diverse research activities of their one hundred scientists included many of the significant current developments in oceanography, atmospheric science, and geophysics. Their faculty was active in the international Ocean Drilling Program, using submersibles at seafloor spreading centers and subduction zones, and collecting data from satellites for oceanographic and atmospheric research. Within the college, interdisciplinary research programs were growing in geochemistry, air-sea exchanges, satellite oceanography, and in the development of instrumentation for remote and on site sampling in the ocean, using laser and fiber-optic techniques to complement satellite data. These programs linked oceanic physics and biology by making biological, chemical, and physical measurements on the same time and space scale.

Like many students in the program, I took several years off between undergraduate and graduate school. I'm so glad 1 did, as it gave me an incredible chance to travel, volunteer and work in a variety of places, and ultimately it helped me decide what to focus on when I returned to school. After graduating from the University of Maine, I held several real (paying) jobs, but the volunteer experiences were usually more interesting and a lot more fun! I volunteered for several months at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys, and later at the Caribbean Marine Research Center in the Bahamas. My favorite job up to this point, was doing hydrographic survey work (mapping the ocean floor, in this case to update nautical charts) in Alaska. While the work itself was interesting, it was really the experience of living on a ship, working in the field and getting to see Alaska that was most enjoyable. That job is also what first brought me to the northwest, and ultimately to OSU. My time here at OSU has been great. I've made incredible friends, received a great deal out of my academic program, and have loved being in this area of the country.

Photo by Eric Appel My story begins when I was teaching mathematics ana physics at a private high school in the mountains above Palm Springs, CA. I had been there for 4 years, and that summer I decided to do something different. I took my mountain bike, panniers, guitar and all my gear to Anchorage; I was going to spend the summer riding south to the Mexico border. On the northbound ferry from Bellingham to Juneau, I met folks who were going north to work in the canneries for the summer in X'aldez, AK. My route was to take me through Valdez, so I planned on visiting (I did). Friendships grew and we exchangee! addresses, etc... My ride was spectacular, another huge storv in itself, but it ended in a rather abrupt fashion when my bike and gear was stolen from the side of the road while I was watching whales swim just off the Oregon coast. The loss of my journal, address book and personal effects brought me to tears; 1 would not be able to reconnect with the many wonderful people I had met. The school was in trouble financially; we were told after Thanksgiving break they would close the doors at winter break (only a month notice). Well, a road trip during that Thanksgiving break fortuitously took me to San Jose, where mv friend from the Alaska adventure lived. He was studying meteorology at SJSU, and introduced me to' the department chair. Upon return to the school, and hearing the news, I called him and asked if he would take me into the program and find me funding. He paused, but said yes! He found me work with IBM developing graphics for climate models; and when IBM closed their scientific center he connected me with NASA Ames. That is when I started studying the climate on Mars. The rest, as they say, is history.

Students spent the first two years on the Corvallis campus and the third year at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. The fourth year was spent in experimental clerkships in a variety of locations throughout Oregon, Washington, and other states. To be eligible to enter the four-year Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) professional program, the student must have completed the pre-pharmacy curriculum, which involved approximently three years of undergraduate study. Required courses include general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, calculus, microbiology, physics, and physiology. In addition, courses in writing, speech, economics, and psychology were needed. Professional pharmacy students participated in many student-led professional organizations and activities that helped develop leadership and communication skills. Students also had the opportunity to attend regional and national pharmacy conferences. The goal was to fully prepare students for the many challenges and opportunities that pharmacy provided. The nationally renowned faculty numbered twenty-nine, who had strengths in all areas of pharmaceutical science and clinical pharmacy. Individual faculty members were recognized for teaching excellence and outstanding research and professional activities. Among the College's leaders in pharmacy education and research were Year 2000 OSU Distinguished Professor, James W. Ayres, Ph.D., and William H. Gerwick, Ph.D. whose research focused on the exploration of marine algae as sources of new and useful biomed-icinal agents. The College of Pharmacy boasted a new Pharmaceutical Care Learning Center (PCLC), which gave students first hand experience with patient education, disease state management, immunization and physical assessment skills, and pharmacy-related computer applications.

It was there at OHSU, I really became interested in medicine, or dentistry, or something like that. I was 25 and I HAD to start my life going. 1 flipped a quarter high in the air and it landed on a Chicago medical school letter. Medical school was the most brutal and hellish experience of my life. I started to realize that I REALLY didn't want to be a doctor after all. 1 went back and got a second bachelor s in teaching and did that for 6 years. I was interested in hard sciences again, so I decided to apply, and here I am ready to embark on a new career at the age of 40.

In fact, it would have been at the bottom of a list that from time to time included being a Radio City Rockette, a museum curator, and even the person who schedules guests for David Letterman. After graduating from high school, I left Alaska for college only to became a member of the Major-of-the-Week Club. I tried out quite a few majors before I settled on English Literature. After a few years of less-than-fulfilling jobs, I decided to do what I should have done in the first place: I sat down and figured out what I wanted out of a career. The career choice that seemed to make sense was the one that had been staring me in the face all along: pharmacy. My father is a pharmacist, and my sisters and I were in the store stocking Pampers and dusting bottles in even my earliest memories. It had never occurred to me that my dad might have been on to something good. (Thankfully, he has refrained from the dreaded I told you so. ) So how could I, a liberal arts major, suddenly become a scientist? With a lot of hard work and the most amazing friends and study-buddies I've ever had, to give me lots of love and support. There were many days when it didn't feel like it was worth it. But then there were those days during my internships where I did something special for a patient, or caught something no one else had caught, and actually played a meaningful part in another person's life. That has to be one of the best feelings in the world, and it makes all of the late nights and student loans worth it. After all, pharmacy is not about making a lot of money; it's about making a difference. Story by Susan Thompson Susan Thompson Pharmacy academics spotlight ♦ 85 Science One of the largest academic units on campus, with 14 departments and programs, the College of Science offered undergraduate degrees in classical disciplines and in integrated cross-disciplinary areas. In addition, eleven preprofessional programs in the college prepared students who wished to enter a medical profession or another health-related field. Moreover, the College of Science offered the basic science courses essential to the education of every student at Oregon State University. Science continued to play an ever larger role in our society. It has impacted the way we lived, how we did business, and the choices we made on a daily basis. Science has touched ever)' aspect of our lives in one way or another. As a result, new careers and new career opportunities have emerged for people with backgrounds in science. For instance, developments in the emerging areas of biotechnology were fueling a boom in technology careers, while the law, business, journalism and many other more traditional careers have become increasingly dependent on scientific principles and processes. The skills and principles learned as an undergraduate in science proved invaluable in any career field that required the analysis and interpretation of scientific data. The bottom line was this: people with backgrounds in science found themselves increasingly in demand. In addition, an undergraduate degree in science was excellent preparation for many professional and post-graduate programs Special programs in health-related fields were offered by the College of Science to help students meet entrance requirements for professional schools in dentistry, medical technology, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, optometry, osteopathy, pharmacy, physical therapy, physician assistant, podiatry, radiation therapy, and veterinary medicine. Research and instruction in the College of Science were enhanced by their context within a university of outstanding professional schools in engineering, oceanography, agriculture, forestry, and pharmacy. Science students could enrich their degrees with courses from these areas.

Story by Tami Halleck Tami Halleck Science academics spotligfit ♦ 8g Veterinary Medicine The College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University had a unique approach to veterinary education. Each year 28 residents of Oregon and, through I the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) Compact, 8 residents from Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming, were selected to enter the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. The strict limit in class size made it the smallest Veterinary College in the country. A limited number of non-resident positions were a part of this group. The 36 Oregon-sponsored students took their first year of professional study at OSU, then transferred to Washington State University for their second and part of their third year of study. At the end of March in their third year, they transferred back to OSU to finish the third year of instruction and to take their final year of study. Completion of the professional program led to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. This unique approach to veterinary medical education had been accomplished through a formal arrangement with the 1 College of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University, Pullman, and the University of Idaho, Moscow. A minimum of six years was required to obtain the DVM degree. Two or more years of pre-professional (pre-veterinary) training must have been taken at Oregon State University, Washington State University, the University of Idaho or institutions having equivalent courses, followed , by four years of study in OSU's professional program in Veterinary Medicine. After completing the program, graduates received their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree ,DVM, from Oregon State University. More than half the graduates from OSU's College of Veterinary Medicine remained in the beautiful state of Oregon to practice veterinary medicine. 4 Story by the College of Veterinary Medicine Top right: In lab, Jennifer Smith concentrates while applying an external fixator to a fractured bone model.

I then changed my major to biology and filled the prerequisite courses for admission to veterinary school.

After graduation Peter Vellutini plans to move to Loomis, California to pursue small animal care. Photo by Jill Bartlett The four years of veterinary school in the Oregon State University Washington State University program have been both the most difficult and the most rewarding years of my life. A prevailing truth in my veterinary education has been the benefits gained from an endeavor that are directly proportional to the time and work that one dedicates. With this truth in mind, I have tried to make the most of opportunities in my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine curriculum. Also in light of this truth, I am enthusiastic about dedicating hard work and long hours to clinical practice, as this will give me the skills that will empower me to provide quality medical care for patients throughout my career. I attribute my success in school to the support from my amazing wife and to God's loving hand on my life.

Challenges to overcome: Getting accepted into veterinary school, moving to WSU for two years, making many good friends at WSU then leaving again, grueling hours in clinics (but worth it), finances, and long distance relationships. Biggest fear anticipated upon graduation: Finally going out and being responsible for the health and welfare of client animals and hoping the pertinent information that 1 have been taught throughout is readily accessible in crucial moments. Hometown: Heppner, OR People often talk about their calling” to a certain lifestyle or profession. I believe that mine was when I was fairly young, about six or seven I think, one evening in a barn with a foaling mare at my aunts house. I sat on the fence that night and watched the veterinarian assist the mare with the difficult foaling and I remember being mesmerized by him and what he was able to do for the mare and foal. From that point on I was determined that I was going to become a veterinarian. I grew up in a small farming and ranching community in eastern Oregon. I guess one could say that I grew up on the back of a horse. I was involved in 4-H, rodeo, athletics, and many other activities typical of small town life. Animals have always been and always will be a huge part of my life. When asked the question, What do you want to be when you grow up? my response has always been the same, '1 am going to be a veterinarian!’ The journey has been challenging, frustrating, memorable, fun, and definitely worth it. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of the Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 2003. We started out as 36 young and naive strangers who became very close friends over the course of four short years. I have learned many lessons and developed relationships that will last a lifetime. Sara Greenup knew as a child that veterinary medicine was her calling in life. It was in her small hometown that she grew up, where she fell in love with animals. Sara Greenup puts forth a gentle hand when working with the animals that come through the hospital.

Oregon State's football team took advantage of the post season and made a bowl game appearance. The sea of orange and black made it down south as an estimated 25,000 Beaver fans filled Bank One ballpark to see the mighty Beavs take on the Pittsburgh Panthers for the first time in history. Led by fourth year head coach Dennis Erickson, the Beavers had every reason to believe that they could come out on top at the 2002 Insight Bowl. Days before the big game, Beaver fans had no problem showing their pride as the festivities began early in the town of Phoenix. The night before the big game, Beaver Nation took over the popular Phoenix hot spot Majerle’s to party up and show their orange and black pride. With chants and songs and dancing and music, Beavers fans took advantage of every minute and showed that it was a great time to be a Beaver. Hours before kick off, fans had another chance to gather, as the Alumni Association put together a pep rally that helped get beaver fans adrenaline going. With appearances from former running back Ken Simonton and a speech from former OSU president Paul Risser, fans were pumped and ready to go to the big game. It wasn't hard to find anyone not dressed in black or orange, and fans filled the streets near Bank One ballpark headed for the big game. The game started off with a bang as both teams put up a good fight. Going into halftime all tied up at ten, if the second half was anything like the first, the capacity crowd was in store for another exciting half. Instead, in the second half the Panther's looked like a brand new team, and from then on it was Pittsburgh's game. Quickly, Pitt jumped out on top with a 17-10 lead, but the Beavers could only respond with a Kirk Yliniemi field goal. Then the Panthers added two more late fourth quarter touchdowns and when the Beavers tried to respond. Panther fans started to celebrate the predictable win before the game ended. Though, the Beavers got blown out by 25 points on national TV, they still kept their heads up and acknowledge what happened. That was a rear end kickin' 'Erickson said. I gotta give them (Pittsburgh) credit; it's very disappointing for our seniors. The Beavers left the game knowing that true champions are not built easily. Sadly for the OSU's seniors, they had to end their final season on a sad note. I'm disappointed this is my last game, senior linebacker Nick Barnett said. I have a lot of bad emotions right now. Although Barnett, and the rest of the graduating seniors will not be able to avenge the loss of this years Insight Bowl game, they can leave with a memory of a great experience and know that their team will be in good hands. Look on the bright side, we got a lot of guys coming back next year, said quarterback Derek Anderson. Everybody we got coming back is excited for next year.

The Beavers schedule was among the toughest that they have ever played. The Beavers started out strong winning their , first five non-conference games. However breaking into the PAC 10 proved to be a bigger challenge. They ended their seven game losing streak and claimed their first PAC 10 victory in the first of two Civil War games. OSU dominated Oregon in all three games. Before playing a streak of ranked teams including Arizona and ASU, injuries kept key players out of the game. Our defense has been doing its part but we need to get a little more aggressive on offense, we need to find ways to hit the ball on the floor and increase our points. pointed out Coach I Somera, A big piece of our offense is Jocelyn Hannaford and Katrina Nelson who are both out with injuries. The girls are going to have to step in and make it happen. Beavers found another big win against Cal when Karah Rhoades had 16 kills backed up by Allison Lawrence with 15 kills. Katelyn Healy hit a perfect 1.000 with 8 kills and no errors on 8 swings. The Beavers improved their performance in their games in the Bay area. The offense was outstanding as Megan McMillan led the Beavers with 19 kills, just shy of her career high. A strong showing by Jocelyn I lannaford with 13 kills in her first match back after knee surgery. The defense was led by Nikki Neuburger with 18 digs and Allison Lawrence with 16 digs. Laura Collins (above right) was named PAC 10 player of the week for her efforts in the Bay area games coming up with 106 assists 17 digs and 9 kills. The Beavers came up short in their second Civil War match up against the Ducks losing 1-3. Allison Lawrence led the Beavers with 22 kills while Karah Rhoads hit a .303 with 14 kills. Solomon and McMillan each had 10 kills a piece. OSU came to a rough finish ending their season with a win against the Portland Pilots. Freshman Karah Rhoades and Senior Michelle Solomon (above left) each had 14 digs. We're a better team than we were a month ago, stated Coach Somera, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us before the 2003 season.

Not only did the team set a new winning-record of 13 wins in the season, but it was also the first time in school history that the Beavers advanced to the NCAA Men's College Cup Tournament. The Beavers began the season on a high note picking up wins at Gonzaga and Airforce. Then in the month of September the team embarked on a three-game road trip in New York where they defeated Marist, Siena, and the University of Albany. It was back to Corvallis for the first week of school and the Beavers had to take on in-state rival Portland. With 32 seconds remaining in the game, freshman Joe Zaher brought the team the 2-1 victory. Zaher gained control of the ball in the left corner of Portland's third, and dribbled through three defenders to the center of the box for a 10-yard shot past the Portland goalkeeper. Later on in the season, Oregon State traveled up to Seattle where they took on the University of Washington. Freshman Matt Johnson's first career goal lifted the Beavers to a 3-2 win over the I luskies, and it was the first win for OSU against the Huskies in the 18-game history. After dropping losses to UCLA and Fresno State, the Beavers had another chance to show the Huskies how good they really were. In early November Washington came down to Corvallis with a chance for revenge on Oregon State, but what they got instead was a fired up Beaver squad. Junior Alan Gordon (at right) scored three goals to give the Beavers a 6-3 win over the Huskies. The team was left with a do or die situation at the end of the season. While failing to gain a win versus Stanford, Oregon State still had a chance of going to the NCAA tournament if they defeated No.5 ranked California when they came to Corvallis for the Beavers last home game. The Golden Bears were not prepared for what Oregon State had in store. Aaron McHardy (at left) scored two goals and led OSU to a 3-0 win over California and the teams first ever invitation to the tournament. The NCAA tournament put a bittersweet end to a great Beaver season. Oregon State was knocked out of the first round of the tournament 2-0 against Portland, but were in no way disappointed with the results. The Beavers accomplished more than expected this season and how to continue the record breaking tradition in the years to come.

Story by Taslui Rassuli Huttos by Casey Campbell and Jeiemy Schol The 106th Civil War was definetly a war to remember. With bragging rights and a bowl game on the line, Oregon State's football team knew going into it that this was a game that could change the destiny of their season. The game began with the score tied 3-3 in the beginning of the first quarter, but stxm it became a Beaver ball game. Steven jackson (at right) ran 16 yards for his 14th touchdown of the season to bring the Beavers ahead 10-3. Then second quarter came when Jackson caught a pass from quarterback Derek Anderson and ran 69 yards for another touchdown. However, Oregon came back midway in the second quarter. Duck quarterback Jason Fife hit Kennan Howry with an 84-yard scoring pass. Howry then ran for 11 yards to tie the game up at 17. The Beavers went into halftime ahead of Oregon when Anderson found wide receiver Shawn Kintner for a 10-yard scoring pass to make the score 24-17 going into the half. The second half of the game was dominated by the Beavers. Midway through the third quarter, Oregon State extended their lead to 31-17 when Anderson found wide receiver Kenny Farley and made a 19-yard scoring pass. Jackson came back in the third quarter to prove why he's one of the top running backs in the country. Jackson ran down the right side of the field for 39-yards knocking down every Oregon defender that came his way. After getting pushed to the sidelines, Jackson brought the Beavers to a 38-17 lead on a 1-yard scoring dive. The Ducks tried to come back late in the game. I lowry made a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown, but Anderson came back with a 40-yard scoring pass to James Newson to finalize the score at 45-24. Oregon State's last home game was an opportunity to have all Beavers demonstrate their skills. Cole Clasen (at left) saw time at wide receiver and made two catches for 22 yards.

With wins and losses the Beavers managed a new beginning, guided by first year head coach Jay John. John brought with him a more open, ejuicker paced style of play that the Beavers were lacking the previous years of play. This allowed fora faster, moreaggre-sive offense that generated more excitement j among the players and the fans. The season began with a heart-wrenching home loss against Idaho. The game went into overtime with Ihe visitors coming out on top, 76-73. Over the next month, the Beavers kept the wins coming through out the non-conference schedule. I lowever, the Beavers first major loss came in the I Vic-10 opener when Oregon State fell to Arizona j State 67-47. The upset created a chain reaction of losses th.it wasn't reversed until the men faced Washington State at (iill Coliseum near the end of January. The game was important for both teams as neither the Cougars or Beavers had won a conference game yet. l ight defense and red-hot shooting gave Oregon State their first conference win with a score of 63-48.1 .ead by a dynamic trio of senior starters Brian Jackson, Phillip Ricci (at right), and Jimmie j I taywood, the Beavers were able to pick up three more wins against Washington, USC, anti UCIA. Also giving Ihe Beaver lineup some power were sophomores f.S. N.ish and Tloyd North III (at left). Nash usually helped the Beavers, coming off the bench with his red hot shooting and powerful defense. North started 21 of 2Hgames this season averaging 5.3 points and 3.6 rebounds. In I'ebmary, the Beavers looked as if they'd lost their confidence with a series of five defeats that included four at home. But in the month of March, Oregon State was able to bounce back in a 61-60 triumph against visiting USC. The win gave the Beavers a I Vic 10 Tournament berth and landed them in 6th place.

Photo by Casey Campbell WALKING THE they road of SUCCESS The 2002- 2003 basketball season turned out to be an exciting year for the Oregon State's women's basketball team. The lady Beavs finished the regular season in a tie for fifth place in the Pacific-10 Conference standings. This season was the third best finish for the team, while having Judy Spoelstra in the position as head coach. Considering that we had only two returning starters, we overachieved in many ways, Spoelstra said. The team excelled and had a great year. The Beavers finished the regular season with a 12-2 record in games played at Gill Coliseum, and a 2-11 record in games played outside of Corvallis. The girls that really stepped up were Hollye Chapman (at left), Brina Chaney, and Leilani Estavan, Spoelstra said. With many games on and off the road, there were for sure a few favorites that settled within the team. The season highlight was definitely beating Washington at home and scoring over 100 points, Spoelstra said. It was great to see Michelle Smith (at right) have a career best of 22 points during her second to last game as a senior. In regard to having high expectations for next year, Spoelstra said, We had a great blend of incoming talent this year. The team had a lot of chemistry and set a strong foundation for an even better 2003-2004 season. After the regular season, the Beavers were able to take on the post season with an invite to the Pac-10 tournament down in San Jose, California. Sadly, the trip was cut short as the lady Beavs fell in the first round to Arizona. Despite the loss, the team managed to advance to the WN1T tournament. The Beavers lost in the second round to Fresno State, 58-57 after defeating UNLV at home in the first round, 77-58.

With an impressive new freshman class, and the returns many strong women from the year before, the Lady Beavs had much to look forward in the 2003 season. The squad began the season ranked as the 13th team in the nation. In their first meet at Hawaii, the Beavers were not discouraged after loosing to powerhouse UCLA. The team fought back and defeated Michigan State in their next meet. After loosing to Arizona, the Lady Beavs were finally able to come home to Corvallis, and with an impressive home crowd cheering them on, OSU was able to gain some revenge and upset the number one team in the nation UCLA, after loosing to them a month before. On Valentines day, the Beavers posted what was the fourth best score in school history at the time, with a 197.025. The Lady Beavs went 23-for-24 hitting everything but one floor routine, and counted only one score below 9.80 in the team totals. Tanya Ricioli (at right) won the floor and all-around titles, and she tied teammate Elaine Yoder for top honors on the beam. Riding on the momentum of their win over the the Golden Bears, the Beavers welcomed No. 3 Utah to Gill, and were able to defeat the Utes and make some history. Junior Lindsay Nelson led the Beavers as she won the all-around title with a career-high 39.575 and had a pair of 9.925 on vault and bars to become only the second Beaver to score a 9.90 on all four events at least once in her career. Overall, the Beavers scored a total of 49.500, which set a school-record. After the Utah win, the Beavers continued to excell as they placed 2nd in the Husky Invitational and 1st in the Shannico Invitational. For the final meet, OSU closed out the regular season with a dual meet at Brigham Young. Chrissy Lamun (at left) had a 9.95 to place first on floor. The Beavers excelled in the post season as they went on to the Pac-10 Championships to take fifth place, and even managed to gain a invite to the NCAA Regionals in Missouri. The Beavers gave it all at regionals, not counting a fall, but in the end the Beavers missed a chance to going to Nationals by placing third.

They started out the year by hosting a high school cheerleading camp during the summer of 2002, which brought them great success. They also hosted a high school cheerleading competition which brought in high schools from all over Oregon. On February 9, 2003 the Oregon State competition squad headed down to Las Vegas for the USA Collegiate National competition. The competition was two days, and at the end they came in 4th place. Although the team was disappointed with their results, they agreed that it was a great experience. The Beaver cheerleaders have been led by coach Amber Bezates for the past three years. Amber has a lot of experience in cheerleading and has done a great job coaching. One of the biggest jobs as head cheerleading coach was making sure there was crowd involvement at games and having the cheerleaders promote a positive attitude toward the University. There were two teams in which the cheerleaders performed; the black squad and the orange squad. The black squad consisted of 10 couples, which cheered at mens athletic events, and the orange squad consisted of 7 couples, which cheer at womens athletic events. Senior Nate Bauer (at right) has been a great asset to the team and will be missed in the years to come. Whether rain or shine, if there was an athletic event, the cheerleaders could be seen showing their dedication and spirit. Oregon State has been lucky to have such a great cheerleading squad.

The Beavers began the season with a rigorous month of non-conference games as they traveled anywhere from California to Texas. The Beavers were able to pick up key wins against Oklahoma State and Gonzaga during the Coca-Cola classic in Arizona, but their big test came in February against New Mexico State, when OSU was able to rally back from a 14-0 deficit and score 16 runs in the final four innings to win 16-4 at the Fiesta Tournament in Texas. Things didn't lighten up for the Beavers as Pac-10 play began in late March with their first series against California. In game one, Ben Rowe (at right) pitched seven strong innings as he didn't allow a single earned run in his seven innings of work. Sadly, the Beavers weren't able to pick up the last two games against Cal and dropped their next four games against the Golden Bears and Washington. It wasn't until the series finale against the Huskies that the Beavers were able to pick up their second Pac-10 win with a 6-5 win against Washington in Seattle. Shortstop Tony Calderon (at left) went a perfect 2-for-2 at the plate with one run and one run batted in. Oregon State's biggest win of the season didn't come around until the middle of April as they traveled down to the bay area to take on No. 7 Stanford at Sunken Diamond Field. Andy Jarvis was 3-for-5 at the plate and nailed down the Beavers insurance run as the senior knocked the ball out of the park over rightfield to give Oregon State an 8-6 lead. Regardless of the Pac-10 being the most difficult conference to compete in, the Beavers were able to end the season picking up one win from every Pac-10 opponent, but failed to grab any series wins. This season the Beavers were only honored once by the Pac-10 when sophomore outfielder Aaron Mathews was named Pac-10 player of the week for April 7-13. Mathews had a stellar week as he batted .550 with two home runs, two doubles, and eight runs batted in against Portland and Washington State. The honor came just a week after Mathews returned to action after nearly missing two months of the season after being hit by a pitch on Feb. 8.

The Beavers were a highly touted pre-season group despite being voted to finish No.7 in the l’ac-10, but it gave the squad more fuel to have a successful season. Things started to look perfect for the Beavers as they began this season with a No.23 national ranking, and were downing teams such as UNLV and Utah.

Monica I loffman (at left) earned the victory as she pitched a complete game and improved her record to 8-0. Later on in the season, Pac-10 play begin and it was more than the Beavers could bargain for. The Beavers dropped their home opener against in state rival Oregon 10-2 and it was Oregon State's first civil war loss since the 1999 season. One month later the Lady Beavs were able to rally back in full fashion as they picked up a huge win against Stanford. The Beavers had a record setting day as they scored 10 runs in the ninth inning to come away with a 15-5 upset against the mighty Cardinal. Clare Burnum (at right) contributed to the win as the senior third baseman belted a three-run homer during the ninth. After dropping games to UCLA and Washington, Oregon State was able to come back together and bounce back from their previous civil war loss as they defeated Oregon in Eugene with a score of 7-3. I loffman allowed only one hit in five innings of work. Burnum and fellow senior Steph Adams each had their fifth home run of the season as the Beavers pounded nine hits through three Oregon pitchers. The Beavers finished the season on a high note as they earned their fifth consecutive NCAA Regional tournament berth. In the first round, the No.6 seeded Beavers fell to Florida 3-2, but were able to bounce back and pick up wins against Florida State, South Florida, Florida Atlantic, and Texas-Atlantic to make it to the Regional Tournament Championship. Sadly, the Lady Beavs weren't able to continue on to the Softball World Series as they fell to Oklahoma 7-2 to wrap up their 2003 season.

The team went to Princeton, New Jersey to take on no. 7 Princeton, no. 10 Yale, and no. 15 Rutgers. On May 10 the JV and varsity teams headed up to Seattle, Washington to take on the no. 4 ranked Huskies. The varsity eight finished just 2.6 seconds behind UW and the JV eight beat the UW B team by over 10 seconds. As the season continued, the team kept on working hard to prepare for the PAC 10 championships that were held on May 18. At the championships the varsity eight came in third place, finishing the 2000 meter race in 5 minutes, 52.6 seconds. The JV eight finished their race at the championships in 6.06.8 seconds. One of the biggest assets of a crew team was the coxswain. The coxswain for the varsity eight was sophomore Dylan Moro. When asked what it took to be a coxswain, he responded, It took showing up everyday, trying to get past your own problems and your own issues and coming to practice with a good attitude. Also, being a friend to all the guys while taking care of business. On May 29th the teams had the opportunity to row in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championships.

At the end of the fall season, the Beavers wrapped up with a strong victory. All four of the boats finished in the top four. 'The first varsity eight went out and rowed a good race. Two seconds is by far the closest we’ve been to Washington at Head of the Lake. Washington is very good, so it shows that we are on the right track with what we’ve been doing , said coach Charlie Owen. The beginning of Spring term started out great for the Beavers. Three out of the four boats claimed victory over Victoria. This was the first time in twelve years that coach Charlie Owen has seen the varsity eight take victory over Victoria. On April 7 the team traveled to the San Diego Crew Classic in sunny California. The varsity eight came in third place defeating Tennessee, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Clemson. Placing third won the crew a spot in the Whitter Cup Grand Final for the first time in several years. On May 18 the Beavers competed in the PAC-10 Championships.

They also led the marching band to the Insight Bowl in Arizona bowl game on December 26. 2002. TheOSU Marching Band, directed by Dr. Brad Townsend, was made up of 140 students from all majors within the University. These students began their season in mid-September in preparation for the Fresno State game. They then participated in a week of band camp where they spent days rehearsing for their football field performances. During the fall term each student committed to two hours of rehearsal three nights a week. In addition to this, each member practiced on their own to perfect their own parts. The OSU marching band welcomed a new Director of Athletic Bands this year. Dr. Brad Townsend moved to OSU after spending six years directing the marching band at Temple University. Under the direction of Dr. Townsend, the band took a new direction by making it their goal to bring something different to each performance. The beginning of their season featured music from West Side Story and by the end of their season they featured rock music from the 80's. It was their hope to provide energetic, entertaining halftime shows as well as plenty of beaver spirit to the pregame and in the stands. To that end, the band brought back a great OSU Marching Band tradition with the Marching Beaver Spell Out. The marching band was led on the field by Drum Majors Mitch Blake and Tim Hatch. They led the marching band in performances at every home football game and at the OSU vs. UW game. They also traveled to Arizona to perform at the Insight Bowl game. In October the band hosted the OSU Marching Band Competition in Reser Stadium. Fifteen high school bands from Oregon and Washington competed and the day was wrapped up with a special performance by the OSU Marching Band. 202 ♦ performing ans Story by Karen Robinson Dr. Brad Townsend Who were those talented women who performed right along with the marching band at football games? They were the Oregon State Colorguard. These women dedicated long hours to learn and practice a number of routines and perform them during halftime. Colorgaurd was a combination of dance, music, facial expressions, equipment (flags and rifles), and props where position and timing were crucial. Students came to Oregon State from all over the country in order to perform with the exceptional program. Colorguard was offered as a class at OSU, which met three days a week for two hours a day. These students spent many more hours than class time as they perfected their performance marching and dancing down a 100 yard football field carrying a five and a half foot flag. They had the dedication to put in the time and strive for perfection. Christine Hickers was the organizations coach of the Colorguard, who was responsible for making the routines that they performed. Routines depended on what the band was playing in order to be in sync. Besides performing at football games, most members participated in Winterguard. During this season, the team performed in competitions against other universities. They also recruited new members at high school competitions. Although Colorguard was by definition a sport due to its physical and competitive aspects, these ladies proved it to be an art. The performers used the elements of expression and their equipment to tell a story.

They also were featured at the Men's basketball games last winter. During the auditions, these students were required to meet several qualifications. These included being able to perform a single turn and a split leap. They also proved to the coaches that they were excellent dancers and were dedicated to learning new dance material under limited amounts of time. The OSU dance team was led by Amber Bezates, who was also the OSU Head Cheerleading Coach. I ler hard work and dedication guided this team to generate enthusiasm and provide entertainment for the fans at football games and the men's basketball games.

Day one consisted of teaching the participants a hip-hop dance routine which included a variety of dance movements. Participants would then advance to day two, where they would perform the dance in small groups in front of a panel of judges.

Each year over 8000 music lovers enjoyed the thrilling sound of this full symphony orchestra. The nearly 90 musician orchestra was co-sponsored by Oregon State University, but more than two-thirds of the players were professional musicians who were regular members of orchestras in Eugene and Portland. Directed by the professor of music and Chair of the OSU Department of Music , Marian Carlson, this Symphony Orchestra provided the citizens of Corvallis with a unique experience. Through this orchestra our community was given the opportunity to experience a strong sense of community, a characteristic of a small town, yet they were culturally enriched by a symphony orchestra whose sophistication rivaled that of a grand metropolitan orchestra. The Corvallis-OSU Symphony Society promoted and supported the orchestra though fundraising, publicity, audience development and general management. The orchestra was also sponsored by the OSU Department of Music as an academic course. The Symphonies aims were to present a regular series of concerts consisting of standard orchestra repertoire with a representation of less well-known and contemporary works. This performance opportunity allowed students and community players to become experienced performers with orchestral repertoire.

Many of these musicians also took advantage of the private lessons offered through the School of Music by the professional musical faculty. Anyone who was interested in becoming a member of this respected group of individuals had to go through a rigorous audition. The repertoire last year ranged from traditional and contemporary works for concert band, to chamber music extending from the Renaissance through the 21st century. Audiences were pleasured to hear this ensemble a few times a term. Many of the performances were held at LaSalle Stewart Center to full audiences.

The group played at various community events as well as basketball games, volleyball games, tournaments and other athletic events. Throughout the year they performed at more than 50 events throughout Oregon. Lead by Dr. Townsend, the Director of Athletic Bands, the group could occasionally be found playing right along side the basketball band Rhythm and Beavs practiced every Tuesday night from seven-thirty to nine o'clock. All the practice and hard work was well rewarded, as each member received a partial tuition scholarship for a years participation. Story by Grelchen Pedersen 210 ♦ performing cuts Imagine walking into Gill Coliseum on a Saturday evening and the stands were full of fans young and old alike, all there to cheer on the OSU basketball team. At the far end on the court, gathered in the stands behind the hoop, you saw them, a mass of students in orange and black, smiling, yelling and preparing to play a night filled with upbeat music and chants, to involve the crowd and show their support. They yelled, they hollered, and they played their instruments, for the fun of being with friends and watching a good game of basketball. Lead by Dr. Brad Townsend, the director of OSU Athletic Bands, the basketball band was made up of musicians from the marching band who wished to continue to support the athletic teams. Composed of a variety of students from all majors and grades the basketball band played all kinds of music to appeal to every fan's taste. The OSU basketball band played a vital role in helping create beaver spirit at both men's and women's basketball games. There were about sixty students last year who wanted to play their instrument and participate in this group. As a group, these students took time out of their schedules to rehearse at least twice a week for about one to two hours. Basketball games truly would not be the same without the basketball band urging on the crowd to get involved by playing the OSU anthem or a chant. They were the backbone to the cheering squad and the provider for a few fun hours of cheering on OSU sports.

Photo by Eric Appel On a campus where talent was recognized in a variety of ways throughout the year, it was not surprising that the choral department had a choir for the best singers at OSU. Founded in the 1930's, the OSU Chamber Choir was composed of twenty six students. Being accepted in to the Chamber Choir required passing a rigorous audition and committing to a year of rehearsals and performances. Lead by Steven Zielke, the Director of Choral Studies at OSU, the members of the Chamber Choir rehearsed three days a week to maintain the immaculate reputation of the ensemble. Every rehearsal was in preparation for another amazing performance. The Chamber Choir performed once a term for the Corvallis community. During the winter, the community was entertained with a musical collection titled Haydens Creation. This performance was coupled with other musical groups such as Meistersingers, Bella Voce and the OSU Symphony. Along with these performances the Chamber Choir also appeared in the Memorial Union Lounge twice a term as part of the Music a-la Carte series, to entertain the students and public. During the summer the choir represented OSU while touring in Germany with the Stugguart University orchestra. This two week adventure led them to a variety of places to entertain and showcase OSU's finest choral talent. Being a member of this ensemble was an honor and having the opportunity to be present at a performance was an event many did not pass by. Slory by Karen Robinson 212 ♦ performing cuts Meistersingers £r Bella Voce Choral Music at Oregon State University has a history of excellence in bringing fine performances to the Willamette Valley and Corvallis community. This tradition was expanded by the development of the OSU Meistersingers and Bella Voce in 1999. The beautiful voices were just the tip of the iceberg when considering everything a member of these choirs gained from a year of singing with one of these groups. The all male choir, Meistersingers, was directed by Steven Zielke the director of Choral Studies at OSU. This group was composed of sixty male students with a variety of majors. These men performed at the LaSelle Stewart Center at least once a term along with making appearances in the MU Lounge as part of the Music a la Carte series. They also entertained the crowds during more relaxed events such as the Civil War game as they sang the national anthem. The all women's Choir, Bella Voce, directed by Dr. Tina Bull, was made up of fifty eight women. They each auditioned for a spot to be among this group of women with beautiful voices. During the winter season Bella Voce joined the Meistersingers in a holiday performance for the Corvallis community and in the spring performed on a tour to Eastern Oregon. Bella Voce also performed regularly as part of the Music a la carter series and in the LaSelle Stewart Center once a term. Meistersingers and Bella Voce most often performed at the same venue to provide a highly entertaining concert. The competition to be among the members of these groups was rising and the future only promised to be more entertaining.

Photo by Paolo Tomka Voices in the Hall was the new name for the jazz ensemble who used to be known as Black Tie. The name was inspired at Benton Hall where the music department was located and by the tradition that acappela music had a tradition of being sung in any place where there was good sound. The group was student directed this year by Joseph Battrick. Joseph Battrick was chosen for the position because of his talent and experience with vocal jazz and small acappela ensembles. The music that the group performed mainly came from a repertoire of primarily jazz arrangements. Battrick usually chose the music but the group offered many suggestions. Their most recent work was a piece by Nat King Cole called Straighten Up and Fly Aunty. Auditions for the group were held in the second week of fall term. During the 2(X)2-2()03 school year there were eight members in the group. Members of the ensemble ranged from freshmen to graduate students. The group was primarily meant to be small so that the performers got more solo time. Voices in the Hall paired up with other university choirs this year such as the Chamber Choir, Bella Voce and the Meistersingers. They performed at concerts, reunions, parties, and the annual All-University Sing performance on Mom's Weekend. Story by Grelchen Pedersen 214 ♦ performing a ns The OSU theatre has been around since the founding of the university. The theatre department used to be located in the upstairs of Benton Hall. The productions used to take place at the Majestic Theatre located in downtown Corvallis and at the Mitchell playhouse, which now houses the Valley Gymnastics Center. Just recently in 1991, the theatre department moved to it's current home YVithycombe Hall. To be part of a production, one did not have to be a theatre major. Anyone interested could audition or work on a crew. The auditions during the year consisted of a 1-2 minute reading from a monologue, from Shakespeare as well as other readings, exercises, and improvs. The university theatre served the entire OSU campus and the surrounding Corvallis community The 2002-2003 school year was the season of Shakespeare. The plays that were performed included Henry V, The Merchant of Venice, Txoo Gentlemen of Verona, The Tempest, and As You Like It. They could perform a variety of performances from classics to contemporary and comedy to drama. The theatre tried to have a performance on every major period and style of drama from every five years. Lab theatre was designed as a smaller organization. They gave smaller shorter performances and offered seminars and workshops. This was organized to be more student oriented and allowed the students a chance to gain some valuable experience to help them begin a career in the field.

Last year they also teamed up with a fraternity for a concert, hosting bands and donating the money to Plain Talk of Corvallis. The ladies of Kappa Delta were active in scholarly clubs and activities. They were constantly striving to balance their social time and schoolwork in an effort to keep up the well-rounded reputation their house has earned. The members of Kappa Delta not only found time to excel in academics, philanthropy, and social life, but they were also very active on campus. They had members on OSU's Elite Dance Team, numerous intramural sports teams, Dixon Recreation Center staff, and Panhellenic council. As well as attending games together to cheer on OSU's football and basketball teams, they cheered on their own varsity athletes in women's water polo and crew. Their sisterhood was strengthened by retreats to the beach and the traditions that they shared. They were constantly enjoying the company of each other and passerby's on their front lawn or porch swing. They hoped that all students at OSU have found the circle of friendship, fun and support that they had in Kappa Delta.

Members, united by a common bond, strove to uphold the Cardinal Principles of Sound, Learning, Friendship, and Moral Rectitude, everywhere at all times. The Oregon Beta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta at Oregon State University was chartered in 1918. Since their inception. Phi Delts have contributed greatly both on campus and in the community. Phi Delts were involved in varsity sports, ASOSU, interfraternity council, numerous campus groups and countless volunteer organizations. They received second place in the All-University Sing in 2002 for their performance in Grease and they also won many awards for participating in several other chapter's philanthropies. Within the time since their beginning, the goal of creating well-rounded college men has been their primary concern. Few experiences in a man's life were more important than those shared with his closest friends. Whether it was the daily drudgery, or experiencing things for the first time, it was these special times that became their everlasting memories in the future. This was the essence of Phi Delta Theta. As they moved into the new millennium, the Chapter implemented new changes of the benefit of its members. They had an alcohol free policy on Chapter property that was adopted in the fall of 2002. Regardless of their changes they have found it possible to still live by the unaltered bond drafted over 150 years ago bv their founding fathers. With remembrance of their past, and preparation of the future. Phi Delta Theta continued to prosper at Oregon State University.

The entirely student-run ■newspaper was published Monday through Friday during the school year by a staff of over 60 students, all juggling full ■class schedules and often second jobs. To ensure that The Daily Barometer was able to sustain itself without the help of student fee dollars, the newspaper's ■business staff worked to generate $400,000 in advertising revenue. That went toward printing costs, equipment and staff salaries and to provide a free daily student newspaper to the OSU community. In its 107th year of publication. The Barometer continued to be the most inclusive news source for the campus community. For the first time. Daily Barometer staff members printed an award-winning special edition issue during finals week of winter term to provide Oregon State University students in-depth coverage of President Bush's declaration of war with Iraq, and how the first strikes would effect campus life.

Oregon State University had a radio station called KBVR and it broadcasted on 88.7FM. Their mission was to expose the community to new music. KBVR-FM had been providing the Corvallis community with a variety of music since 1967. Their shows ranged from rock to latin and everything in I between. During the 2002-2003 school year KBVR put on a concert in Club Escape. The show featured 800 octane. Standoff, and |Zeke Davis. KBVR supported local artists by putting on these concerts, playing their albums on the radio, and spreading the word about the bands. KBVR was always looking for new Djs. At the beginning of each term, a new group of apprentices came to the station and the staff took them under their wings and taught them the ways of the station. Being a DJ at KBVR was a fantastic experience. It gave one an opportunity to listen to music they have never heard of before and they also got to meet many exciting and different people. KBVR had been working with other student organizations over the past year to try and bring the Oregon State community closer.

The Executive Council served as the intermediary between the individual fraternities and the University and the Corvallis community. The council, comprised of two members of each fraternity, served as the legislative branch of the community. The council was also responsible for judicial process, administration, education and regulation. During the 2002-2003, IFC took full advantage of their opportunities and did some extraordinary things. Among them was a rejuvenated recruitment process, a newfound series of relationships with departments across campus, and a renewed respect and appreciation for each other. The fraternity community was just that, a community. In addition to governing, IFC tried to give back to the community. Putting the Civil Back into the Civil War was probably the councils most well known program in the community.

Members of the Pagan Student Association have started a group at Oregon State University to provide support for Pagan students and staff. They also wanted to clarify many myths and misconceptions about Paganism. Pagans were nature worshippers and were not violent people. They did not want to convert anyone, and did not want people to try to convert them. The Association was started in Spring 2001. The club was the brain child of Erica Porter and Jona Hightower. They went through the committee proceedings needed to organize a new club on campus and succeeded in convincing the board and finding a faculty advisor.

They were un-housed, but were active in various aspects both on and off campus. Some of these activities included work with the Children's Farm Home, where they carved pumpkins in the I fall and bought gifts for them at Christmas. For sisterhood activities they had formal dinners, a dance, and special activities for Mom and Dad's weekends. Since they were “Sisters in Agriculture , they participated in many agriculture activities, including the annual Ag Day. Members were involved in other various clubs throughout campus, but all had a tie to agriculture and an interest in strong bonds of friendship, both of which were offered through Sigma Alpha.

Well, 1 would like to take this time to thank my mom and dad for giving me the opportunity to attend OSU. Thank you so much for the love and support you both have given me, especially when 1 was homesick during my freshman year. I’d also want to thank my brother. Matt, for giving me motivation to exercise up here and helping mom at home when I was up here studying. For the rest of my family, thank you for your support and confidence that I could do well in school and graduate on time. Elton, thanks for teaching about life and helping me whenever I needed it without any complaints. Lastly, I would like to thank all the friends 1 met and hung out through my four years here. If it wasn't for you guys, OSU wouldn't have become the home away from home that it was. You all made my four years here very special and memorable. Take care and God Bless.

Their hard work paid off with the knowledge they will soon be recognized by the school. Sigma Lambda Delta celebrates the differences that each women has that makes her an individual. The sisterhood prides itself on scholarship, diversity, and individualism. Philanthropy is important to the women also.

Over the last two years, my sister, Zoryana, and I healed the drifts that had formed between us while living distances apart and are once again each other's best friends. I have had many wonderful opportunities, met many interesting diverse people, made some lifelong friends, and have enjoyed some remarkable furtherance from some of the wonderful instructors. I can say that I believe our University encourages education, exploration, and intellectual stimulation, in a beautiful environment. Zoryana graduated last year, and after my graduation we will again be living in different places but, because of the opportunity we took advantage of while living in proximity we will never again allow distance, to distance us. I want to thank my loving and supportive parents, friends, instructors, and my sister. Thank you all for the strength, love, friendship, and support you have all offered to me. My family is my rock through the storms of life and my island of joy through the eternities of peace.

This past year as Beaver Editor has meant more to me than just employment. It has given me skills that I can use in the future and more importantly, a chance to meet many amazing people who have worked extremely hard putting together the first digital, all-color Beaver Yearbook. There are many people that I would like to thank who have supported me through out the past year. To the staff, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication that you put into this book. Without your dedication, this book would not be possible! To Frank, Lois, and Kami, thank you for EVERYTHING and supporting me as I took on the challenge of switching over to all digital and color. To Brad and Ginger, thanks for working with me as I ran into many obstacles along the way. To Trevor, my business manager and hubbv, thanks for always listening to all of my frustration and supporting me. Finally, Casey, without you, there is no way that I could have done this. Thank you for all your extra time that you gave and for putting up with me and the kids. Well, that's it. I am finally done. Goodbye OSU and hello real world! Name: Trevor Elliott Section: Business Manager Year in school: Senior Message to OSU: A man depressed with his life, was walking through a field, when he heard a faint howl from what he thought sounded like a dog. As he got closer to the sound he found a small dog caught in a muddy creek. The dog had tried to free himself but after hours of struggling he had exhausted himself. The man quickly reached down a grabbed the dog's collar pulling him to safety. The man sat on the shore holding the dog.The two never parted after that and they had both been given a second chance. I am like the dog stuck in the mud, and people who make up The Beaver Yearbook were like the man. We were both struggling but at the end we were give new hope. Thank you to Frank, for his overflowing dedication that rubbed off on the rest of us. Thank you to Kami for her insight and guidance and thank you to Lois, for without her the daily working of the Beaver would not exist. Thank you to a disciplined and dedicated staff, who went out of their way to make the Beaver outstanding. Thank you to Casey, for his artful eye for photography and countless hours of dedication. Thank you to (acque for her inspiration and consistent efforts, this book would not be the same without the backbone (acque and Casey formed for the Beaver. There are 6 billion people on earth, and nineteen thousand of us were proud Beavers. Go Beavs! Name: Casey Campbell Section: Photo Editor Year in school: Graduate Student Message to OSU: After all of these years, my reign at student media has ended. I would like to thank everyone at student media over these many years, particularly Frank. Lois, Kami, Ann, Tina and Annette. It has been a long road, but I guess it is time for me to depart and find a new road to travel. As for this past year at the Beaver, it has been great and it is all because of the people who have been here that have put in the time and effort to make it the best book ever, not to mention making the office a fun place to be. I will miss the gossip, text twist, smackdown competition and the general harassment that comes with working on the yearbook. I can’t say goodbye to everyone, but I would like to say thanks to the Pi Phi crews. Athletics editors, the poor Academics people, everyone who played softball, photographers and the kids . I make a lot of great friends and you will all be missed. Also, thank you to Trevor for selling the book and trying to get people to see your masterpiece. Finally, a big thank you to (acque for all of her hard work, time and effort she put into learning a whole new process and making a great book.
