26 ♦ student fife Philanthropies ITT very year many people, especially the Greek community, came together to JCihost many different philanthropic events. 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. Story by Melissa Tuttle Many talented women from different living groups on campus show how they excel in both the classroom ami they competed for the title of Miss Minerva.

Blazers I'T'he Blazers red hot shooting ruined the homeaiming for Seattle's Payton JL and Barry. 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.
