Oregon State beat Stanford for the Homecoming game thanks to offense like this. | Photo by Melissa Cady The 2007 Football season brought to mind three great games: Cal. WSU. and Oregon. Upsetting Cal in their own backyard seemed to set the pace for the rest of the Beavers' season. Only having lost to number 13. USC. the rest of the season looked extremely promising. The Beavs powered through Stanford with a 23-6 victory. Next up on the chopping block was UW where OSU pulled away narrowly with a 29-23 win despite being robbed a touchdown by the officiating crew and the Huskies' near fumble TO return. To finish off the Washington schools, the Beavers took the trip up to Pullman and made quite a statement. The 52-17 domination of WSU can be attributed to eight forced turnovers and OSU having the number 1 run defense in the nation. The Beavers'commanding victory was the second victory in Pullman since 1984 in 11 meetings. With the pace set and high expectations for Oregon, the Beaver team got a real boost when word came that Dennis Dixon's knee injury would be keeping him fom starting at the game. The Beavers made the 40 mile journey to Autzen stadium to meet for the Northwest's oldest rivalry. The civil war was more than just an in-state rivalry, it was bragging rights for the state. The opening of the game showed that OSU was there to break the losing streak at Autzen stadium. Despite the early turnovers, the Beavers and Ducks traded the lead all the way to the final quarter when OSU tied it up. Oregon struggled to get down the field and into position for a field goal. Caught in the confusion and play clock dwindling down Oregon missed their game winning field goal and sent the game to overtime. The first OT ended with UO and OSU trading TDs. The second OT opened with the Beavs' James Rodgers running the ball for a quick seven point lead after Alexis Serna's PAT. OSU held Oregon out of field goal range and on the 4th down the Beavers stuffed the ball for a loss and took the victory. Final score: 38-31. Winning the Civil War showed exactly what the season was about, the Beavers were a team to watch out for. (Above) Redshirt Freshman. Dwight Roberson comes to a halt after running down the field.

Kristin Murray. the team was made up mainly of sophomores, juniors and a lew freshmen. Jill Sawatzky was their only starting freshman and received the Pac-10 honorable mention for a freshman. Another one of 2007 Oregon State volleyball’s stronger players was sophomore Rachael Rourke, who aquired 505 kills in the season and an average of 4.51 per game. Rourke and middle blocker Lexie Rathgeber were named to the Pac-10 Conference All-Freshman Team in the 2007 season. Rathberger also made a name for herself and ended the season with 77 block assists and 89 total blocks ranking her among Oregon States top freshman in history for both categories. The women of Oregon State volleyball showed tremendous dedication over the 2007 season taking home six wins across the season, all the while their heads held high. The 2007 bailer-ladies traveled to Pullman. WA to play versus Washington State over fall term’s much needed Thanksgiving holiday break. The women traded wins with WSU after having beat them in the beginning of the season. Competitively, they knocked off two ranked opponents. They beat Hawaii in three games and the number four ranked team UCLA in five games. Oregon State Volleyball, along with Arkansas, was one of the only teams to defeat an opponent ranked in the top 10 of the NCAA. | Story by Melissa Cady and Erin Murphy (Above) Great volloy!

In the fall, the men held nothing back, immediately getting first place for their first two tournaments: the OSU Giustina Memorial and the Opus NW Husky Invitational. In the following tournaments, although not ranking as high, the Beavers showed great progress compared to their 2006-2007 season. Many other impressive results included first place at the NW Winter Shootout, second place at the Oregon Duck Invitational, and third place at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic. In the spring, the team more or less maintained the same ranking they had managed in 2007. At the Pac-10 Men’s Golf Championship in Fairfax, CA, the Beavers came in eighth place.

In September of 2007, the team started out with bang, finishing 2nd at the Giustina Memorial Classic while the men’s team took home the championship trophy. Subsequent tournaments, however, left more to be desired. For the next three competitions, the team placed 7th, 14th, and 16th, in succession. Coach Rise Lakowske, nevertheless, stayed positive and said at the Heather Farr Memorial, “Overall, we would have liked to perform better but there were a lot of positives to take from this tournament as we move forward.” The Beavs ended their fall season with a 4th place win in Hawaii. In the spring, the team played distinctively better, never placing less than 10th in any of their competitions, though overall performance was still a bit inconsistent. The team’s rank at different tournaments was jumping from 4th, to 7th. to 4th, to 8th, to 3rd. and finally 10th at the Pac-10 Conference Championships. At the Championships, with a team total of 14 birdies, Coach Lakowske commented, “I think we have a great group of players to work with and a terrific base to build successful teams in the future. We will use this result to motivate us as we go forward. | Story by Toan Ngo (Above) Julianna Uhrik at the Giustina Memorial Classic.

In the past few years the league had suffered personal losses and was beginning their rebound back showing strength and a great coordination with eachother. Although the team had its standout players, the coaches and players themselves weren't out to focus on that. “No one individual is above the team; it’s all about the team, ' said Head Coach Dana Taylor. This great team easily became a great group of friends and were very tight knit. The soccer program also focused on its five C's; Culture. Competition. Character. Community, and Classroom. The team did a community service effort every year and was a part of the Adopt-A-Beaver program. In the program they assisted soccer coaches and had a huge effect on the youth involved. The team was also very proud of maintaining their high GPA's. Beaver players often posted GPA's of 3.0 and higher and the Beavs had more academic honorees in 2006 than any other Pac-10 team. | Story by Melissa Cady r (Right) Ball handling, senior Alex Christensen grabs the ball, ready to throw it back in the game after an out-of-bounds kick. | Photo V courtesy of Sports Information (Below) Keeping it together, junior Josh Cameron and senior Nick Webb work together to fend off the other team’s attempts to steal the ball. | Photo courtesy of Sports Information (Left) Stealing, senior Nick Webb makes a run for it down the field trying to avoid the competition. | Photo courtesy of Sports Information (Above) Safe, junior goalkeeper Packy Deeniham jumps to catch the ball from going in the net. | Photo courtesy of Sports Information (Left) Gotta guard it!

Practice continued throughout the season at 8:00 in the morning for more than two hours before they would continue on to classes. Working hard was not an issue for these girls. Setting goals as a team was what was most important for this tight-knit group. In their extremely successful game over Lamar the ladies won with an 8-0 score and really managed to show off their ability to be consistent and take care of the things they needed to work on. Jodie Taylor posted her second hat trick of the season scoring in the 42nd. 81st and 84th minutes of the game. Red Nixon also scored a hat trick scoring in the 26th. 62nd and 77th minutes of the game, while Najma Homida started the scoring at the 13th minute and ended it at the 84th. The 2007 season was also a lot more about getting their forwards to score goals, it included a lot of passing and created a chance for the whole team to play better soccer in general. The team was made up of mostly sophomores, but had five seniors. Something that was a hinderance this year, however, was six different girls had knee surgeries. It played a major role in how the team worked and how the season ended on a less positive note. Despite being plagued by injuries the girls competed in most games and ranked tenth in the conference. In the last game of the season the seniors were celebrated and though spirits and confidence were high the team was unable to finish off the season with a win. They fell to No. 5 Stanford by giving away two goals. Caitlin Seeley managed fives saves in the end to keep the Beavers from fallling any further. Next season promises some very talented players and a hope that they will have a more consistent season.

They practiced at the OS Horse Center for weekly two-hour practices as well as clinics and participation in parades, including the OS Homecoming Parade in November. Drill performances were choreographed maneuvers set to music on horseback. The OS Drill Team prides itself on its speed when performing, adding an element of danger to a fast paced performance. In only it's fourth year of existence, the Drill Team took first place in the short program for the CC riders competition in Vancouver. WA managing to take second place overall. In June. 2008 the team traveled to Reno. Nevada to compete in the Reno Rodeo competition against teams from all over the Northwest. To further awareness of Drill and the existence of an Oregon State team, the drill team performed in OHSET demos to recruit young high school girls interested in western horsemanship. The drill team also held play days as fundraisers, which invite the surrounding community to a day of gaming events including barrel racing and pole bending. The yearly fundraiser become very popular with the community and a great opportunity to integrate the surrounding community into Oregon State students' activities and academic lives. | Story by Patty Heintz m 33 Flag football is a slightly tamer version of regulation football. The main difference being that no one gets tackled in flag football, theoretically. This sport is more a matter of stripping your opponent’s waistline (of flags, that is) before they score. Once a player’s flags are removed, they're down. Men and women share the spotlight and work together as a team. Although technically tackling is not allowed players understandably try to get away with as much rough-housing as they can. A wayward tackle her.e, a shove there; they are not above a good role in the mud. Also unlike regular football a wider range of people are able to get involved. They encourage all levels of sporting experience to participate and get a better grasp on the technical aspects of the game. Men and women get to play together on the same team at an even keel. Showing an interest and passion in the sport is just as. if not more, important than skill and ability because it’s all about fun and trying hard. | Story by Melissa Cady (Above) David Uth scored six touchdowns in one game. | Photo by Brian Tsai (Above) Garrett Garber dodges his opponent to keeps his flags on. | Photo by Brian Tsai (Above) The Newmanators team revels in the glory after a good fight and a fun game.

Ngo played for the Metros. | Photo by Tracey Cox For the Tsunami Surfers it was all about the natural talent of the players involved. Other than one practice at the very beginning there were no regular practices to interrupt the students’ academic schedules. The season started in October and ended late in November. A number of players who were very dedicated went to every game but many members simply came when they could. On the days with high numbers, scores were more even as the teams had a better size distribution and gave players chances for breaks during the game. Though the Tsunami Surfers lost the first game, they stormed back and won every game after that, playing a total of five games. Having a fairly even amount of men and women on the team was a big help because one of the rules for intramural volleyball was that both genders be involved in every play during a game. “I think that’s part of the reason we lost the first game. said Aubree Oberst. “It was kind of a weird rule and we weren’t ready for it. Working conscientiously as a team and including everybody made the friendships tight and the teamwork tighter. | Story by Melissa Cady tramurals V all 35 spods (Left) Woodwind section musicians play for the Oregon State High School Band Competition.

Oregon State Univeristy hosts two weekends reserved for one member in every family. In the fall. Oregon State students, staff, and faculty are asked to bring their dads along for a weekend of off-beat activities to get everyone involved with OSU fun. The 2007 Dad's Weekend went down November 9th-11th. There was the trad-tional comedy show hosted by the MU Programs Council held twice Friday night that featured Jim Breuer at the LaSells Stewart Center. As a bonus for dads who still have it in them to run around with their kids - no matter how old - Dixon Recreation Center offered free admission to any and all dads accompanying their OSU student. Earlier on Friday the Craft Center opened its doors to dads to dabble in the arts with their sons and daughters. There were bowling tourneys, a hot rod car show, a BBQ at Tailgaters. a Who's Your Daddy? game show, even a Dad and Me look-alike contest. To sugar-coat the enormous treat that was this great weekend. Beavers won their football game against the UW Huskies. Dad's all over campus got to live it up that night. As to be expected, thousands of Beavers had to ship Dad back home to Mom with a warm Sunday send-off. For anyone not completely worn out by Friday and Saturday, there was a brunch bingo in the MU Ballroom that morning. Dad's Weekend was an enriching experience for students to show their families just what goes on here when students aren't sleeping or studying. Dads said it was an odd role reversal to be brought to school by their kids, after so many years of the opposite. Only this time, no sac-lunches!

The week started out with decorating to get in the festive spirit, and continued with tug-o-war preliminaries. On Thursday there was a volleyball game and later that evening the famous Homecoming Bonfire in the Callahan dorms parking lot where the winners of the homecoming court were announced. On Friday there was the 40th reunion for the class of 1967 and the 45th reunion for the class of 1962. On Saturday, the big game day. it started early in the morning, there was the Eat and Run with a 5k walk run. The exciting Homecoming parade was a great way to get students more connected with the whole celebration. The Homecoming king and queen were junior Miles Dodge and honors senior Nicolette O'Donnell. lt was amazing when they announced my name because I really had no idea who they were going to pick. said O'Donnell. At the game Oregon State owned Stanford with a score of 23-6. Stanford only made two field goals while the Beavers continued to dominate them throughout the game. During halftime the Beaver baseball team got their second National Championship rings and the Greeks battled it out in the tug-o-war. After a short but fierce struggle it was the Kappa Delta and Delta Upsilon team that prevailed. | Story by Melissa Cady (Above) Senior Nicolette .

Constructed in the Memorial Student Union Quad, the large white tent took up the majority of the quad and students found themselves maneuvering around it all week. The tent was the setting for the OSU Capital Campaign launch that was held Homecoming Weekend. Oregon State produced its best and brightest shows for attendees.The purpose of the campaign was to raise money for the college. The campaign's ultimate goal was to raise S625 million. The total raised had already reached $350 million by the time the campaign was publicly launched on the 26th. The campaign slogans “An Historic Moment” and ‘This Amazing Place summed the event up nicely for Oregon State. The point of the campaign being to remind those who know Oregon State University of just how wonderful it is to be a part of it. The money raised by the campaign was designated for new scholarships and fellowships, and faculty positions; to benefit Oregon Staters. At the presentation launching of the campaign. President of Oregon State. Ed Ray. announced a $77 40 Fall million commitment from public and private donations to the Onus Pauling Science Center construction and research. This university is about enriching lives. said President Ed Ray. The campaign began in 2004 and by 2007 had already received over 400 commitments of $100,000 or more. The fact that so many people came forward so quickly demonstrates how much we believe in this investment.’ Pat Reser. co-chair of the campaign said following the launch. | Story by Erin Murphy Friday afternoon, everyone affiliated with OSU is hot on their toes getting ready for the campaign launch.

The weekend, for fans was a dim forecast, quite literally. Not only were Beaver fans headed to an away game to stand four hours outdoors in December but weathermen everywhere were warning of snow. Also staring down the Beavers was the first possibilty of a win in a decade. Though, since 1996. the pattern had been home-field advantage for these Oregon teams, this year was special because U of O's strongest player and starting quarterback. Dennis Dixon, sat out the Ducks' last two games due to injuries. The game startod off with a sigh of relief for Oregon State. Before all the seats were even filled that winterbitten Saturday. Beavers had already taken the lead with a touchdown in the first 3 minutes. U of O was having a very difficult time getting the first down and Duck fans found themselves cheering ‘DEFENSE more often than usual. They did. however, score one touchdown in the first quarter making it 21:7. Fans in orange and black were convinced we had the game in the bag until just two minutes before half-time, the Ducks scored two touchdowns and two EPs in a span of 40 seconds! The stadium was in an uproar for half-tme. (Above) Autzen Stadium is void of Duck fans within minutes of the Beavers' win. Beaver fans, however, celebrated on the field and in the stands for some time after. The fall of 2007 Beaver-Ducks Civil War Game was held in Eugene. OR. | Photo by Tracey Cox It seemed that the OS players couldn't keep hold of the ball long enough to get near the endzone. The Ducks scored another touchdown in the third quarter to bring U of O into the lead. This was the fire under Beaver butts that it took to get back in the game. The Beavers tied it up 28-28 opening the fourth quarter. After that, neither team scored for the remainder of the regularly scheduled game. The Civil War went into overtime - then again, into double overtime! Beavers finally pulled out the win by running in a touchdown and holding back the Ducks in their returned efforts. Beavers won the 2007 Civil War game 38:31. Fans rushed the field to cluster their glory and turn the yellow and green field bright orange for the first time in 10 years. | Story by Erin Murphy (Above) John Reese, a sophomore and tight end for Oregon State Football, made it three yards with a University of Oregon Duck on his back before he was finally tackled. | Photo by Toan Ngo 42 Fall Malachi Lewis. | Photo by Tracey Cox The STPO, (Left) Oregon State Senior, Dorian Smith celebrates with a Beaver lover after the win.

The Beavers finished third in the Pacific-10 Conference (6-3). but ended the season at a fourth-place bowl game after being snubbed by the Sun Bowl for Oregon. The Beavers beat the Ducks on their home turf a week before the announcements were made. In the Emerald Bowl, the Terrapins took a 7-0 lead on its first drive of the game. The Beavers were forced to punt three plays later and it looked like Maryland came to play. Alexis Serna was roughed up on the punt and Lyle Moevao hurt his elbow. Sean Canfield hit James Rodgers on a 14-yard pass and that put the Beavs back in the game. Both teams struggled in the second period but the Beavers managed to score with 16 seconds left in the first half. The Terrapins tied the game early in the fourth period and the rest of the game turned into a battle for field position. The Beavers were deep in their own territory twice in the period but could get a good drive going. The Terrapins could not get out in front. A final punt by Maryland made it to the one yard line making the Beavs look at 99 long yards to score. But Maryland never got a chance to play on offense again. Yvenson Bernard and Rodgers had big plays that took time off the clock and the buzzer found the Beavs in front by one touchdown. It was a fitting end of a collegiate career for Bernard who was named the game’s MVP with 38 carries. 177 yards and one touchdown. The Beavers ended their 2008 season with a final record of 6- 6.

Many areas of study were available tor students through the college. Botany, Animal Sciences. Crop and Soil Science. Microbiology and Fisheries and Wildlife Science were just a fesv of the choices available. Over 25 undergraduate and graduate degree programs are offered in agricultural science. Departments within the college did much research. The fisheries and wildlife science department partnered with Hatfield Marine Science Center on the Oregon Coast to do research projects and community service. The Department of Food Science and Technology partnered with the Astoria Seafood Lab also on the Oregon coast, to be involved in teaching opportunities. The Horticulture Department hosted the High Desert Green Industry Conference and a Plant Sciences Seminar Series. The College of Agricultural Science provides a diverse array of opportunities for students. The Oregon State University Extension Service helped to improve the environment and the economy of Oregon. Faculty of the OSU Extension Service are working in just about every county in Oregon. The Extension Agriculture Program was made up of 19 work groups that focused on crops and plant products, animals and animal products, economics and policy related to natural resource agricultural, technology issues and opportunities, environmental quality, and food processing and value-added products. These groups worked together throughout the year to make improvements to Oregon’s environment. Over 30,000 volunteers helped the Extension Service with educational programs in Oregon. The College of Agricultural Science had a great year meeting their goals and helping to improve our state and environment in multiple ways. Through teaching, research, and volunteering, students, faculty, and volunteers came together to share their values with others. | Story by Andrea Houk (Above) Members ol the Fisheries and Wildlite Club gather tor a picture on Lookout Creek Old Growth Trail in the Willamette National Forest.

The School of Commerce became one of twelve in the nation. Over the past five years, the College of Business has been increasing in the number of students who enroll. Accounting. Finance. Marketing Management, and International Business are a few of the areas that students choose to study. The undergraduate program in the College of Business gave students experience and a good management background. Most popular in the College of Business was a business minor for students. There were many opportunities for students that included a background in business or marketing. Over 2.000 students were enrolled in the College of Business and the college offered seven options for students. In addition to the 2.000 students, another 1,600 students from other colleges took business classes. Events in the College of Business include educational speakers and lectures as well as internships and clubs for students to participate in. One lecture was given by Lorrie Vogel and was titled College of Business Sustainability. The college also offered mock interviews for students to practice, as well as a Winter Career Fair. Other opportunities for students included a Finance Club, and an Investment Group for students to gain extra experience. Ancillary Programs were another part of the College of Business. These programs were to provide students and others with experiential learning opportunities. The programs offered were The Austin Entrepreneurship Program. The Austin Family Business Program. Business Solutions Group. Close to the Customer Project. Executive Education, and Sustainable Business Initiative. The Austin Entrepreneurship Program was held at Weatherford Hall and provided students with hands-on experience in entrepreneurship courses. The Business Solutions Group gave students an opportunity to test products and develop software for potential clients. With all the opportunities the College of Business had to offer, there is no question why it was so popular with students at OSU. A large majority of students at OSU took a business class whether or not they were enrolled in a business major or minor. Business courses were effective in educating students and supplementing their degree even for students studying under other departments or colleges. | Story by Andrea Houk (Above) Weatherford Resident Hall is home of the College of Business Austin Entrepreneurship Program. | Photo courtesy of Thuy Tran (Abovo) Team S-Ray took the $10,000 grand prize at (Above) Bernie Newcomb (front center) (Coilego of Bu$i-tho Now Enterprise Challenge.

To some, it is just a building that you do not want to get too close to for fear one of the rocks will crush you as you stroll by. For others, it is like a second home; the place where the majority of their classes are held and where they study or work. Students, staff and faculty come and go. but the building has seemed to last forever. Sadly, this building was not meant to last forever. In 2008. plans were in the works to rebuild Education Hall starting that summer. The construction was expected to take 12-15 months to complete, meaning the building would be ready before the fall of 2009. Education Hall has an interesting history that began over 100 years ago. It has suffered from two severe fires and the most famous graduate from OSU met his wife in this building. Linus Pauling, the only man who was awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes, met his wife. Ava Helen Miller, in this building while teaching Chemistry. On the first day, during the first class he had ever taught, he muttered these words. Will you tell me what you know about ammonium hydroxide. Miss... Miller? According to Pauling, these words changed his life. The Education Hall had a history that suited its new identity. The students who filled the halls every day wanted to become educated and make a difference in the future like Linus Pauling so many years ago. The program built connections for students, professors, departments. schools, states and countries. Over the 2007-2008 school year, the College of Education was working hard to refine its already developed program. The staff and student collaboration was amazing, with fantastic results. This program is one of the best in the state, if not the country.” says one College of Education student. “It is reassuring to know that I am in good hands here. The program is still growing. The coursework and requirements for the program made it highly involved within the community. The program had reached out as far at Lebanon and continued expanding. There seemed to be very few limitations when it came to this program. The possibilities for this college’s future were endless. | Story by Jamie Suter the Coliogo of Education undergraduate program, celebrates with family at the awards ceremony hosted by the College of Education.

As of 2008, the engineering program at OSU was one of the top 25 engineering schools in the United States. The number of students in the college continued to rise over the year, as did the number of faculty members. The department had exciting goals to both increase the number of faculty in the department and the amount of research that they do. These goals were set in hopes of being achieved within the next five years. At the end of 2007, 766 students graduated with their degrees from the College of Engineering. This was a record high for the number of graduates from the college. The research done by the college also topped out at a record high of S27.5 million. From civil, biological, chemical, mechanical, to electrical and nuclear engineering, the college was one of the most diverse the university had to offer. Many students took time away from Corvallis to do an internship within their department. Two internship opportunities that many students took advantage of were MECOP and CECOP. These were the Multiple Engineering Cooperative Program and the Civil Engineering Cooperative Program. These programs were set up for Engineering majors to intern with a company that partnered with Oregon State. The students gained professional experience from these programs. Many groups and organizations were available for those in the College of Engineering. The Solar Vehicle Team was one fun way for students to participate. In this program, students and faculty came together to create a solar powered vehicle. Human Powered Vehicle Team as well as various other groups were available for students. Some other groups included the Society of Women Engineers, the Microgravity Flight Team, and Engineering Without Borders. As one of the top departments at Oregon State, the College of Engineering certainly set high standards. The department as a whole did extensive research as well as prepared a record number of students for rewarding careers. The engineering programs have achieved high goals as well as set new ones to continue to improve in the future.

In September, woodland manager Sara Leiman received the 2007 Regional Oregon Volunteers ward for her excellent work. For almost 30 years, Leiman has been managing 3,500 acres of conifer forest. The award Leiman received recognized her efforts in helping other women in her field. In October, Oregon State’s forestry program was ranked as the number one in the nation. This data was tabulated after surveys were distributed to deans across Canada and the United States. OSU’s program is one of the country’s largest, which operated on 14,000 acres of forest land. “We build on the foundation of science-based knowledge about forests and their many values, uses and services, said Hal Salwasser, dean of the College of Forestry. In the spring, Oregon State University awarded the Mason Prize for Integrity and Moral Courage. Recipients of the award were graduate students Cristina Eisenberg and Daniel Donato, both of whom were part of the College of Forestry. The students were given the awards in recognition of their respective achievements while facing individual adversities.

In the winter, in the same week as Valentine’s Day, the Peer Health Advocates, sponsored by Student Health Services, produced “The Vagina Monologues” by Eve Ensler. The production was performed in the LaSells Stewart Center and consisted entirely of OSU students. The show was geared towards women empowerment. “It is also about women coming to terms with who they are internally, said Stacey Edwards, coordinator of Peer Health Advocates. In May, students who studied Nutrition and Food Management were able to put their knowledge and skills to the test. The class, led by graduate teaching assitant Amy Frasieur cooked various tasty dishes using only local ingredients and served them through Pangea in the Memorial Union. Aptly named “A Taste of The Valley,” the week-long program was able to offer students salmon burgers, penne with chicken and spring vegetables, and even turkey cranberry arugula sandwiches! Just a week later, another department of the College gave residents of Corvallis yet another chance to satisfy their senses, this time, the visual. At the end of May, the Department of Design and Human Environment put on their fourth annual Student Design Exhibition and Fashion Show. This year’s theme was “A Century of Design: Celebrating 100 years of the Design and Human Environment Departments” and the event took place at OSU’s CH2M-Hill Alumni Center.

Offering majors in 13 departments and options in 17 areas, the College of Liberal Arts included Music. Art. English. Economics. Hispanic Studies and many other majors. Students in the College of Liberal Arts also had the option of receiving an International Degree. Many opportunities were offered to students in the College of Liberal Arts. Internships, scholarships. and study abroad were just a few opportunities for students. Many language students took advantage of the study abroad program to gain firsthand experience in another country. Leadership opportunities were also offered within the College of Liberal Arts including the Ambassador of the College of Liberal Arts program and Leadership in Social Change awards. The Leadership in Social Change awards were scholarships given to students who interned with a non-profit organization with a cultural, social, or economically liberal or progressive mission . The student was required to complete an eight to ten week internship in the summer and in turn, received funds while on the internship as well as a scholarship for the next fall. Departments within the college put on events throughout the year. The music department put on various events such as Chamber Music Corvallis, and the OSU Symphonic Wind Ensemble. In November. “BAND-O-RAMA was put on by the OSU Symphonic Wind Ensemble. Jazz Combo, and Marching Band. During homecoming weekend they played stadium favorites and tried out their new stuff. One of the lectures held was titled. “Shakespeare at Sea: The Third Voyage of the London East India Company by Richmond Barbour. OSU Department of English. Another lecture given by Neil Browne. OSU Cascades Department of English was titled. John Dewey. William Carlos Williams. Denise Levertov and the Ecology of the Everyday . Other events included guest speakers and lectures, art exhibits, and presentations. The College of Liberal Arts website listed up-to-date event schedules throughout the year. With over 300 faculty members and a large population of students, the College of Liberal Arts provided creative education and an inviting environment to students of Oregon State University.

COAS offered graduate research programs that included master’s and Ph.D. degrees in marine resource management, atmospheric sciences and oceanography: biological. chemical, physical, and marine geology and geophysics. The undergraduate Oceanography minor was suggested for students in the College of Science, fisheries or engineering. The minor also provided a broad environmental science background for students who planned to become high school teachers of earth or life sciences. Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) offered opportunities for undergraduates to participate in research at sea or in the world-class analytical laboratories at COAS. In 2008, three COAS researchers—Dudley Chelton, Robert Duncan and Anne Trehu— were named as fellows to the American Geophysical Union. Dudley Chelton specialized in the use of satellites and remote sensing techniques to observe and measure large-scale ocean conditions. Robert Duncan researched topics such as how “hot spots” form island chains in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the bombardment of the moon by meteors, and the role that volcanism may have played in the extinction of dinosaurs. Anne Trehu studied the structure of the crust and lithosphere in the Cascadia subduction zone and coordinated seismic arrays to monitor earthquake activity throughout the West. The EarthScope National Office was established at COAS. EarthScope was a nationwide program to explore the North American continent and understand physical processes that cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. OSU researchers teamed with Woods Hole and Scripps on the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative. OSU was named to lead a component to be located in the Pacific Northwest's coastal ocean. | Story courtesy of the College of Oceanic Atmospheric Sciences 62 Ac.ifiom cs (Below) Part of the expedition team led by Chris (Below) Professor Jim Mourn, holds on to OSU's towed Goldfmger conduct coring operations off Sumatra turbulence platform.

Students interested in pharmacy have five options within the college. These include the pre-pharmacy program, early admission program, pharmacy minor, the Doctor of Pharmacy degree, and graduate research studies. Student groups associated with the College of Pharmacy kept students updated with endless opportunities to further their education and careers in pharmacy. Some to choose from for students were the Pre-Pharmacy Society, which was an organization open to all pharmacy majors. As well as monthly meetings, they held field trips, guest speakers, social events, and community service projects. The Pre-Pharmacy society was a great way for those interested in pharmacy to meet peers and get involved. Other opportunities were Rho Chi and Phi Delta Chi, which were the Greek organizations associated with the College of Pharmacy. Within the College, students also participated in the Oregon State Student Pharmacists Organization and the Executive Council. These opportunities helped students take leadership and responsibility as well as learn about professionalism to further their knowledge of pharmacy. Much research was also done within the college. Through both the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Department of Pharmacy Practice, faculty of the college did research in three areas. Included were medicinal chemistry and natural products, pharmacology, and pharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics. The faculty of the college worked on several projects throughout the year. A few of the projects included infectious disease research, drug use public policy, and new vaccines and delivery methods. Both students and faculty in the College of Pharmacy worked hard all year to better the health of individuals. They are researching and continuing to gain knowledge that will help others. The goal of the pharmacy program was “to produce pharmacists who are independent scientists dedicated to providing a better quality of life.” | Story by Andrea Houk 64 Academics (Above) OSU Pharmacy students participate in the Bi-Mart Health Fair.

These are the majors of the college of science. To seek out new life and new paradigmes of understanding. To boldly discover what no human has ever known. This year, the College of Science tackled these goals with a great selection of over 15 majors and an even better selection of students. Among them are the math majors who, as part of a Math Club fundraiser, executed a very successful Pi-Day on March 14. They sold out 50 pies in record time and made deliveries to math classes at 1:59pm, making delivered pies arrive at 3 14 1:59 (a number close enough in percision to the 3.141592... to suit almost any scientist). To enhance the special day. math students sold pies to the tune of “Oh, number pi! Oh. number pi! Your digits are unending.” (A trancendental parody of “Oh Christmas Tree ) Elsewhere in the college of science, Professor Stetz taught an introduction to Cosmology class, encouraging students to think about dark matter, the origins of the universe, and cosmic background radiation. The College of Science also stretched to connect its different pieces. New classes in mathematical ecology helped bring together field experts and mathematical experts to try and solve some of the worlds most important issues. This year’s student body included numerous study abroad students, including Christina Murphy who participated in OSU’s new study abroad program in the Galapagos (05), proceeding to Ecuador (06), and to Chili (07), studying aquatic species and their protection along the way. | Story by Jason Siefken (Above) Oregon State University Pre-Vetermary Medical Association students travel to Florida (or the APVMA Symposium. | Photo courtesy of OSU APVMA (Below) College of Science students scour the rocky Oregon coast for sea creatures to study on their field trip.

The college was established in 1975 in response to a greater demand for veterinarians in Oregon. Because of this demand, the State Legislature wanted students to have the opportunity to study veterinary medicine in Oregon. In 1980. the animal clinical service was established at OSU. In previous years, students had to complete a year at Washington State University to receive their degree. In 1979. the first student class received their DMV from Oregon State. Opportunities within the College of Veterinary Medicine included the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program. This program gave training in biology and medicine and included domestic animal species as well as clinical disciplines. Elective training was also an option for students that included zoology, exotics, wildlife medicine, marine sciences, clinical nutrition, and various clinical specialties such as dermatology, cardiology, oncology, and surgery, and others. The College of Veterinary Medicine also offers internships for students in areas such as internal medicine, surgery, cardiology, and anesthesiology. Graduate programs in the college were mainly in areas such as animal health, interactions between humans and animals, environment, and the use of animal models to study diseases impacting public health. Outreach programs were another aspect of the College of Veterinary Medicine. The Lois 8ates Acheson Veterinary Teaching Hospital, the Animal Medical Learning Center, the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, and the OSU Extension Service were ways for students to find outreach opportunities. The Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory was an opportunity for seniors to work with faculty to gain hands on experience. Students in the College of Veterinary Medicine at OSU have experienced many opportunities to help the community whether it be through partnering with the Oregon Humane Society, or traveling in and out of the State to volunteer their knowledge. There were many options for students who wanted to major in an area of veterinary medicine. Internships, hands on experience, and an exceptional faculty made it possible for students to earn their degrees in the College of Veterinary Medicine. | Story by Andrea Houk (Below) Barry Downie poses with a miniature (Below) Under Rural Veterinarian Practice clinician Dr. Jacob mare and her (oal wearing Oregon State s colors.

The Honors College offered advanced classes of smaller sizes and that extra something missing from the impersonal auditorium lectures so many students have gotten used to skipping. For the Honors College, the purpose was to provide students what they needed to reach their goals, period. The SLUG. Students Learning Underground, was in the basement of Strand Hall and was dedicated solely to Honors students and their classmates studying, relaxing and getting work done on campus. It was required that students in the college maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher but with the commumty-like class sizes and accommodating professors, most members of the UHC said they couldn't imagine how hard school would be if they only took the regular classes. We try to be like a second home.’ said Academic Liaison Heather Boren. The Honors College, besides offering free printing and smaller classes, held frequent study sessions, study breaks. BBQs. picnics, camping trimps. guest speakers and its annual Sun River rafting trip. These events were planned by the Honors Advising and Activities Committee (HAAC). Students who endured that kind of torture earned an Honors degree which put the extra sparkle on their transcripts that they worked so hard for all their lives. It was not just perks, parties, and perlectionism in the Honors College. Any member could tell you all about their unique experience with a fourth p; the professors. Freshmen professors of Honors core classes, like Dr. Richard Nafshun teaching Honors General Chemistry and Professor Eric Hill teaching Honors Writing, were a great way to open up the college to new students. What better way to feel at home than having a Chemistry professor who's more like a brother always blowing things up and telling you not to taddle. or having a writing professor who's more like your father advising that you not mention your one-time demeaning summer job on your graduate school application? | Story by Erin Murphy frame while Max Brugger and (Below) Cameo Cheung shows off her rubber ducky Jack-O-Lantern she carved in the SLUG.

Students had the opportunities to travel to distant regions from Tunisia to Japan, to Australia. to Chile. Study of another country or foreign language was not required for all study abroad opportunities. There were study programs for further immersion of a foreign language and for English-speaking students looking for exposure to new cultures without previous language studies. If a student was on an approved OSU study abroad program, they became full-time students, enrolled in at least 12 credits, but usually 15 while abroad. In many cases, the students had a choice of which classes they took. Other students chose to participate in study abroad opportunities to enrich their cultural backgrounds. Studying abroad taught students about the diversity of cultures, rituals, different cuisine, and many more unexpected life lessons. Most students, no matter how much they had prepared, were taken back by vast array of options for going abroad, but there were opportunities for everyone. One Spanish Major. April Haydon. traveled to Chile in the fall. She fully immersed herself in Chilean culture and thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine, which included Choripan. a type of Chilean sausage. She also had the chance to experience climbing and snowboarding in the beautiful Andes Mountains and took an adventurous boat ride through Patagonia. Many students participated in this program in Chile to improve their fluency of the Spanish language. Another option for students wanting to experience foreign cultures was International Internships. The international internships were available for students who preferred not to take college courses abroad, but rather study one trade or aspect of their major for some period of time, ranging from four weeks to 12 months. There were a large number of countries available for students to travel to. with a list of languages and cultures equally extensive. Study Abroad opened doors for students to live in new places the way locals do. and get to know people from foreign cultures on a more personal level. The percentage of the OSU population who study abroad was small, but those who took advantage of studying abroad gained valuable life experience and had an amazing time. | Story by Andrea Houk (Below) Annabel Ortega, a senior in International (Below) Scott Mauger sits with one of the locals enjoy-Business, visits the fields during her internship with a mg down town lounging.

The damage was already done though and the Beavers did not win a single game for the remainder of the season. The Beavers worked hard to achieve their goals, but never seemed to be able to compare to the rest of the Pacific-10 teams. As a result, every single game was during regular season.

On April 7th. 2008. the 20th Head Coach of the Men's Basketball team was named: Craig Robinson, who had won 19 games in the previous season and would now take on a new role to bring the Beavers back into shape. Robinson had a wealth of experience as the head coach from Northwestern and a former assistant coach for the Arizona Wildcats. Robinson took some time off from coaching to work in finance but soon began coaching students again thereafter. Robinson came to Oregon State with a plan in place to bo able to begin his career at OSU. His announcement ceremony was exciting for all those involved as the band played and the crowd cheered. Hopefully, the cheering had nothing to do with his familial relationship with the presidential candidate. Barack Obama.

Even up to the end. the Women's Basketball team was fighting. Their last three conference games showed a huge amont of determination, as in their second to last game, the Beavers beat the USC ladies by a mere point with a final score of 55-54.

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4th. 1968. The shock of his death rippled throughout the nation and the world and caused a profound resonation with all King had been saying. This year at OSU the MLK celebration week started on Martin Luther King. Jr. Day and ended with the bright and exciting MLK dance at Club Escape. The Martin Luther King.

MLK, Jr. Appreciation Week coincided with Black History Month where there were many opportunities to be open and expressive about racism, what it really means, and how it affects people. There were historical fictions and documentaries shown regarding the various events that impacted black history. There was the MLK Appreciation Breakfast along with several speaking events--all of which were open and free to the public. This was about educating all kinds of people that may not be as familiar with America's black history. The participation of so many people that week was a way of showing the immense devotion to the obstacles African Americans have had to surmount (and continue to face) to achieve an equal status in America. We can all hope that these kinds of events will continue to educate people, abolish racism, and reach an equal environment. | Story by Melissa Cady Martin Luther King, Jr, Appreciation 105 mo ENSEMBLE The Oregon State University Wind Ensemble performed at the infamous Carnegie Hall in New York City.

This year was a little different for them as they travelled across the United States to to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City. The group of Oregon State students who auditioned to be in the Wind Ensemble at the beginning of the year were told many many months in advance that the rehearsals they would be endouring would prepare them for their musical debut in New York. The ensemble flew from Portland to New York days in advance and were able to tour the city before their Sunday night performance. In addition to the Wind Ensemble, members of the Marching Band were there to show support. They also performed a pep band performance in Greely Square, just blocks away from Times Square. “The entire trip was a huge success,” said Ian Hunnicutt, a member of the OSU Marching Band. “I couldn’t have had more fun and the Wind Ensemble was just fantastic”.

Their argument was that it was not a woman's issue, but a human's issue. The women highlighted in the 2008 V-Day campaign, or the Katrina Warriors represented all women in extreme conflict with high violence, economic hardship, racism and no one to depend on for protection. The show was another success held at LaSells Stewart Center. Both shows sold out and packed the auditorium for two great nights that began with silly winces and shy giggling, then gradually elevated to a deep understanding and overall comfort with women's empowerment. Women in the Oregon State community auditioned and practiced for months for this fantastic event. Their hard work introduced show-goers to stories like My Short Skirt and “Hair” which described the reasons for how women choose to adorn their bodies, to stories like “The Flood and The Little Coochie Snorcher that Could. stories of women finding themselves and celebrating their vaginas. The show was not only about finding your g-spot and loving your vagina; it also covered more serious topics with stories like My Vagina was my Village and “I was There in the Room which told about women's pain and the burden their anatomy has been to them. The audience left with a greater sense of awareness and compassion. | Story by Erin Murphy 110 Performing Arts I am excited to finally step out of my comfort zone and to be part of something so Jamie Kincade Junior (Right) I Photo by Toan Ngo k (Left) Mollie Barbour and fellow cast members listen as Chelsey Rasmussen describes the difficulties of viewing your own vagina.

That would be the Oregon State University Basketball Pep Band. The band performed at all of the Beaver basketball home games for both the men s and the women's teams. To spice up the games a little, the band incorporated a few theme nights’, such as Formal Night. Beach Night, and Halloween in February, where each person wore a Halloween costume 10 the game.

Though being in the pep band was not required like at some other universities in the country, there was a good carry-over from the marching band, and the number of students that participate increased every year. Though you might think most of these students would be music majors, the opposite was actually true. The non-music majors outnumber the music majors, in fields ranging from English to Molecular Biology. There were also graduate students and members of the community that participate in the basketball pep band. The pep band made going to basketball games just that much more fun. adding to the charged and spirited atmosphere. | Story by Kate Brumbaugh 8askotball Band 113 MARCHING BAND In 2007, the Oregon State University Marching Band celebrated their 117th year as the oldest band in the Pac-10. They also produced their very first CD which was sold as a fundraiser to help get the band to the Cal and Washington State football games. There were a few disappointments when the OSUMB learned that their annual trip to an away football game was going to be cut due to budget constraints. In spite of those constraints, the OSU Marching Band managed to raise enough money from donors and alumni to send a pep band down to the Cal Game as well as to the Washington State game. Both times, the Oregon State Football team came out victorious. My favorite part about being in the OSU marching band is going to away games, meeting with alumni at both Washington State and Cal was a great experience, commented Andy Levin, the tuba section leader. The OSUMB dedicated themselves to working eight hours a week rehearsing music for the field shows and the stands tunes as well as practicing marching technique and drill for field performances. On top of their weekly practice, the Marching Band also practiced and performed at all home football games. Often times, the band was arriving almost seven hours before kickoff to practice, perform at beaver-walk, tailgate and have lunch before their pre-game performance. As part of that time spent together, a lot of people have become lifelong friends. My favorite part about being in band is the social aspect. I've made so many friends that I know I will be friends with for the rest of my life said Drum Major. Amanda Herbert.

BRAD TOWNSEK) DRECTOR OF ATHLETIC BATOS Dr. Brad Townsend became a part of the OSU Marching Band just a few years ago. In that time, he has developed a new routine that gives the OSU Marching Band a much more “college feel.” During the term, he and his staff managed to successfully help the band in performing a new half-time show every football game. The music ranged from “Home on the Range to Men in Tights which featured the OSU Band Dads.

This year, the OSUMB did something new. Every half-time show was (Above) Orin Clark stands on the field preparing for halftime.

With sometimes only one week to put together a full half-time show to perform in front of an audience of about 44,000 spectators, the Marching Band was often in a time-crunch. With four home games, the OSU Marching Band successfully performed four half-time shows; each show, with a different, unique appeal.

At every performance. fans also saw the OS Color Guard adding spirit and visual effect to the Marching Band performances. “We make the experience of all performances more enjoyable by accentuating the themes in the music by adding color, flair, and character, said John Roop, a sophomore on the OS Color Guard.

The twelve girls all had a biography and many group photographs were taken from the athletic facilities around campus. Still one of the hottest groups on campus in 2007 was the Oregon State University dance team. Comprised of many experienced dancers, this group definitely knew how to get the crowd motivated and pumped. The dance team performed not only at football games but also at basketball games and marching band events. “We also started doing high school dance competition's exhibition performances. We don’t just represent dance; we are part of many different aspects at Oregon State so we are involved in many different things. said Lindsay Luck, a member of the OSU Dance Team. This was the first year that the dance team published and sold their team calendars as a fundraiser for their group. The calendar, which represented the year of 2008. had a short biography about each of the twelve girls, and many team photographs. This year, the dance team promoted new costume changes to go along with the current trends. Their costumes varied depending from what the band wanted to do to the theme of half-time shows. One theme was baseball to represent the homecoming of the OSU National Championship Ring Ceremony. The team was under the new leadership of Coach Tami Smith. With her help and their hard practices, they had many routines to perform and even helped the band dads learn a dance routine during Dad's Weekend, which they performed at the Washington football game. | Story by Michael Lee This year, we did our very first OSU Dance Team calendar and I was super stoked for it because we have a fabulous team and beautiful girls.” ■Lindsay Luck OSU Dance Team Michelle La Cesa ■ dances during a football game to excite the crowd and keep them screaming.

Interest to be on the team grew as the cheerleaders became better at their stunting and tumbling. In 2007. the OSU Cheerleading squads started out with very few members and experience. They had practices twice a day for a month, once in the morning and once in the evening. By the end of the summer, the interest turned into a full squad, and the male cheerleaders outnumbered the female cheerleaders. “I'm happy to have more guy cheerleaders because it makes us feel safer and allows us the opportunity to do more elite stunts that we weren’t able to do in the past. This excites the crowd, because they are seeing things that we have never done in the past few years. said Jillian Herrington, a second year cheerleader. The all-girl squad cheered at the volleyball and women's basketball games, but was required to have a specific stunting and tumbling ability to be able to perform at football games. Because of their hard work and determination, they performed at several of the home games. The co-ed cheer team performed at all home football games and men's basketball. On occasion they would make appearances at women's basketball games and volleyball games. In addition to the sporting events, the cheer team traveled to represent Oregon State at openings for stores or at the request of other Alumni for some of their larger events. In 2007. the OSU Cheerleaders made their traditional trip to the Canby Country Club to perform a battle of the cheerleaders against the University of Oregon. This event also acted as a fundraiser for both schools' cheer squads. This “competition is a great way to show spectators how much the team has grown as a group, and see the success that they have managed to achieve. | Story by Michael Lee and Jillian Herrington r “My favorite part is the bonding aspect.

The offical men’s group at Oregon State University, the Meistersingers, had the opportunity to perform on behalf of the students in front of a large audience. Bella Voce, the all-women’s choir, prepared for a number of performances throughout the year and is audition-based. “I thought that Bella Voce was a really great experience and it really helped me transition into my freshman year as it helped me meet a lot of new people and accumulate great friends,” said Hanna Burke, a freshman in Music Performance. Two of the more well known groups on campus were Divine and Outspoken. These groups were known fortheirability to sing current pop songs and connect with the crowd. Outspoken and Divine could typically be seen singing in the quad on special occasions such as Mom’s and Dad’s Weekends and performed during many of the big events on campus including Relay for Life and Sing. “Being a part of the vocal groups at OSU is a great way to feel connected to the university. Not only do you get to feel connected to your friends, but also your musical ability. These songs you sing are going to be a lifetime of memories, especially years down the road when that special song plays in the background,” said Burke | Story by Michael Lee (Above) The OSU Meistersingers performed in the Memorial Union Lounge in front of students and faculty. They were also known for putting on performances in front of the OSU Community.

In the fall, under the huge tent which housed the OSU Capital Campaign, the Rainbow Continuum and Late Night Activities were able to make use of the space and gave audience the Cirque Du So-Gay. The tent was able to hold about 1,000 people, which made the show the largest event hosted by the Pride Center. Juniors Nicholas Rhodes and Ingrid Udd were crowned the Queen and King of the Beaver, respectively. In the spring, as part of Queer Pride Week, the MU ballroom was used to showcase another drag show. This time, the attendence was estimated to be around 500 people. Poison Waters, a drag queen performer from Portland, was invited to be one of the MCs as well as a performer. At the end of the evening, many awards were given out to valued members of the community. After the show, the ballroom was cleared to make room for a dance, which lasted until 2 in the morning. “Our main goal is awareness and visibility in the community,” said Ryan Landyn, a sophomore in women studies and one of the chairs of the Pride Week Committee.

Finishing below .500, Oregon State was the only team in the Pac-10 Conference not to reach the post-season. However, the scores do not show all the hard work and dedication the women put in. They had many accomplishment and gained valuable lessons for the following year. The women were able to upset No. 3 ranked UCLA and take a win against the Oregon Ducks in the Civil War game. Sophomore Kelly Dyer pitched a one-hitter and was supported by a strong Beaver offense, in Oregon State’s 3-1 win over Oregon at the OSU Softball Complex. The win clinched the two Dodge Civil War Series points, as well as the overall series’ title to Oregon State for the third year out of the last four in a 9-8 decision. “As a senior I made a promise to myself to do more my last term at OSU and that’s how I went to my first softball game,” said Lindsey Norman, a senior in Business. “I wish I had done this earlier, I had such a good time watching us beat the Ducks.” Even thought the women may not have gotten the wins they wanted on the field they sure got them off the field. Eight Beaver women from the team were recognized by the Pac-10 as outstanding student- athletes.

The team ended in sixth place in the Pacific-10 Conference with USC and Washington with a 11-13 record. Oregon State swept Pacific in a three-game series at Goss Stadium to cap off the season. The sweep was not good enough to get the team into the post-season tournament. Nine seniors finished the year including pitchers Mike Stutes and Reed Brown , infielders Lonnie Lechelt, drew George and Jordan Lennerton. catcher Erik Ammon and outfielders Brandon Wells, Chris Hopkins and Daniel Robertson. Pitcher Ryan Ortiz had a superb offensive year as a batter and catcher. He ended the year with a .351 patting average including 66 hits. 16 doubles, 55 RBIs and 29 walks. He hit five home runs including three grand slams. Ortiz landed on the AII-Pac-10 First Team The team said good-bye to Stutes who was the most accomplished pitcher in school history. He ended up with 287 strikeouts, second most at OSU, and 24 victories, which tied him for ninth-best. OSU played it toughest schedule in school history with more than one-third of its opponents in Baseball America's Top 10. The team played against four straight ranked opponents and finished 8-11 against top-25 teams and 4-7 against those in the top-10. The team drafted seven players to majors including Stutes, Lechelt, Hopkins, Grbavac, Lennerton, Robertson and Jason Ogata. Head Coach Pat Casey finished his 14th season at the helm. At the end of the season his record stands at 468-292-4 at OSU Before the season began, a major renovation of Goss Stadium got started. It was hoped that most of the project would be completed before the start of the season. But, as of late summer, considerable work was still being done at the stadium. | Story by Frank Ragulsky ’•A ' 1134 Spring (Right) Beaver players rest themselves in the dugout at the Stanford game while their team mates play the field.

In addition, two OSU rowers earned top 10 finishes at the Under-23 Worl Championships in Brandenburg, Germany. The Beavers began the home season with victories over Victoria and Gon-zaga before traveling to the Pac-10 Challenge, where the team met Standorf. the first conference crew of the season. After a narrow loss to the Cardinal, the Beavs moved on to the prestigious San Diego Crew Classic. OSU took fourth place finishes for the JV and Freshmen crews. The Orange and Black continued a grueling schedule the following two weeks and fought a hard race against No. 1 Washington. With the valuable in-season experience with them, the Beavers finished even with Standford in the Pac-10 Championships. The Cardinal won the tiebreaker, but the Beavers used the finish to get them to its 14th consecutive invitation to the IRA Championships in Camden. NJ. The goal at the championships was to best their 10th place finish at nationals last year. But the Beavers missed a spot in the semifinal by a mere 3.59 after finishing second to No.9 Columbia. At the World Championships in Germany David Weir, a junior, rowed in the bow seat of the men’s heavyweight four with coxswain finishing fifth in the world. John Wainwright, a senior, rowed in the bow seat of the men’s lightweight four and finished third in the B final for an overall finish of ninth. Senior James Fulmer was named to the AII-Pac-10 Conference Rowing team after manning three different seats during the course of the season. The season was Fulmer’s second in the Beaver V8+ after transferring from Rutgers. Fulmer was OSU’s representative to the AII-Pac-10 Conference Rowing team in June.

However, despite a schedule that included races against the top 16 teams in the nation, the Beavers did not get an invitation to the NCAA Championships for the second straight season. The team finished the season by being ranked seventh in the country. The victory over Washington propelled the Beavers to the No. 14 spot in the nation and got a nomination at the Crew of the Week by row2k.com. It was OSU’s first dual race in 20 years and marked the second consecutive win over UW. OSU raced well in the trip to the east coast for the Virginia Triple Dual against No.3 Virginia and No.8 Michigan State. At the conclusion of the season, Kaylie Towne received second team All-America honors for the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association for the second time. Towne also netted the Pac-10 all-conference honors for the second straight year. OSU will have a solid team for the future with Amy Hicks, Katie Humm and Jane Ivery returning.

In the fall of 2007, they peprformed as the Cross Country team and in the spring of 2008, they worked as the Track team. This year’s Cross Country team improved slightly compared to last year’s results. At the Pac-10 Cross Country Championships, the Beavs placed 7th, one place better than last year’s finish of 8th. At the NCAA West Regional, however, the Beavs held on to 13th place, the same ranking as the previous year. This year’s track team also held the same results as spring of 2007, with 10th place at the Pac-10 Track and Field Championships being the best the team could muster. This year’s result, however, should have been better. With only approximately 600 meters left in the 1,500 meters final, a change of pace led to some commotion which caused senior Jean-Marie Peterson and junior Sylvia Veal to fall. The two quickly got up and regained their form. Nevertheless, the interruption made it impossible for the two to catch up with the rest of group. Regardless of the final ranking, however, Sylvia Veal still managed to be Oregon State’s best runner this year, leading the Beavers to many victories across the Pacific Northwest. Despite the little change in ranking over the previous year’s, coach Kelly Sullivan was enthusiastic about the results. Many runners set great personal records, with some even managing to break into Oregon State’s all-time bests.

That’s what the Oregon State Intramural Badminton team practiced, finesse and maneuvering as a means of competition. The target in this game, the birdy, is not heavy or hard so it is more likely that a player who can change positions quickly and get directly underneath it will have success. The game is more like volleyball than tennis - in that the 'ball' is rallied over the net. served from the back service line, and is not meant to touch the ground. Like other racquet sports, badminton requires at least one player on either side of the net. but can be played as doubles. The men playing for the Intramural Badminton teams were mostly graduate students looking to have some fun at Dixon with their friends. They gathered a couple times a week and would swat the birdy around, work up a sweat and share laughs over the bloopers that usually ensued when physical performance was involved. | Story by Erin Murphy (Above) Badminton Club President Chayun Pipobla-banan comes to the net to save the birdy. | Photo by Toan Ngo (Above) Kien Trung Nguyen readies his raquet to hit the birdy.

Teams were composed of mainly fraternity and sorority members, as well as university groups like ROTC. Being an intramural sport, spring softball was available to men and women. Anyone could join and form their own teams however they liked. What made this sport harder, aside from the huge variety in skill between players, was that all players were required to provide their own equipment! It took a fair amount of dedication to gather enough people for teams, then bring in all the bats, balls, and gear too. Those players who’d been playing longer would teach newer members tricks of the game, like ‘squishing the bug,’ or biting your collar when swinging at bat. Though it seemed like any regular game of pick-up soft-ball, the teams were given strict rules to begin the season. With guidelines like “the mercy rule and pitching regulations, it was not just any slacker who could step in off the sidewalk, and these teams knew that. The intramural Beavers were prepared when it came to a fair game. That being said, they had a pretty great time on the fields getting to take in the sunshine once class let out and the springtime rays had set 'n- I Story by Erin Murphy (Left) Kristin Twiss from the coed A team Kappa Alpha Theta Air Force leans back for the swing.

Spring Sports Clubs Tennis Tennis has been a staple of the Oregon State sports clubs system ever since the club was first formed. Each year, students tried out to make the men’s and women’s teams and competed with other universities around the country. The men and women combined as one team during practices and allowed students to participate in its sparring matches. Pratices were usually held indoors. A ladder system was set up and those who won two sets got to play a tougher opponent and those who lost go Story by Toan Ngo (Above) Club members break after the first match to trade opponents and congratulate those previous.

During the fall of 2007, in order to try to get more numbers and participation from the student body, Toan Ngo, a senior in anthropology, set up an on-campus tournament for all students. It was a first-ever attempt at hosting a tournament of that scale for students only. In the end, there were a total of 12 teams. Prizes were given out for first and second places, as well as for a third team which won the Spirit Award (the most fun team to play against). For the men’s team, the Beavs repeated their record at Oregon College Sectionals last year, getting second place, losing only to the University of Oregon. Northwest College Regionals, however, was more disappointing. Whereas the team got eighth place last year; this year, despite being a stronger team, the Beavs ended up with an unexpected 15th place in the rankings. | Story by Toan Ngo (Left) Jesse Weller (right) catches the disc as it narrowly passes through Patrick Buermeyer’s (left) attempt to get a layout D. | Photo by Toan Ngo (Below) The OSU Men’s Team at OR College Sectionals.

Although it may be called Mom’s Weekend students were encouraged to invite sisters, aunts, and even dads to take place in the abundance of weekend activities. “It’s my favorite weekend of the year, it’s actually my favorite holiday,” said Chelsey Chandler a junior in Health Promotion and Behavior. Events included a Fashion Show, Tour of the Trees at the Corvallis central park, a Yo Mama Game Show, Mom and I Look-Alike Contest, Art Fair, SING, free step classes and several other events offered by OSU. “I’ve gone to SING for the past three years,” said Megan Walker, a junior in HDFS and Education. “The first year I was a performer, the second year I was an announcer, and this year I was an observer.” Comedians Maria Bamford and Gary Gulman entertained two sold out shows at LaSells Stewart Center. Bamford was a standup comedian best known for her performances on Comedy Central and Gulman is best known for being a finalist on the NBC hit reality show “Last Comic Standing.” The weekend also offered several sports and physical activities for moms and their kids to go to. The bowling alley offered free games for all moms and Dixon Recreation Center also opened its doors to the moms. If sitting back and watching someone else get physical was your thing there were several sport events throughout the weekend. Reser Stadium hosted a lot of moms for the spring football game on Saturday where the Beaver football team scrimmaged each other for fun. Also many moms caught one of the three OSU softball games against California and Stanford. “My mom and I can’t wait for next year,” said Danielle Carpenter, a junior in Communication. | Story by Brittany Chandler (Above) Comedian, Maria Bamford entertained a full crowd at La Sells Stewart Center along with fellow comedian Gar Gulman. | Photo by Tracey Cox (Left) MU Programs Director Raphiel Carter introduces the night's comedians and reminds students not to miss the upcoming Flat Tail Festival.

All people and pets were welcomed at the event, which included dog agility obstacle courses, duck herding, pet washing, adoption centers, and a police dog training demonstration.There were also events for people as well, such as a barbeque, vet school tours, play-places for the kids to bounce in, horse rides, and even a teddy bear surgery center where kids could bring their torn stuffed animals to be operated on by veterinary students. “Pet Day was a great way to spend part of my Mom’s Weekend. My mom and I had never been before and we loved it,” said Kristen Highland, a junior in Nutrition. “We had no idea it would be so much fun to watch dogs perform in an obstacle course ” One of the biggest events of the day was the unveiling of The Lois Bates Acheson Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Large Animal Clinic extension to the Oregon State University Animal Hospital. The extension will significantly increase the experience of students, large animal owners and industries with the new care and practice facilities included in the expansion.

The Hui-O-Hawaii Club’s aim was to bring the Hawaiian culture and the spirit of Aloha to Corvallis and its surrounding communities. Gill Coliseum was transformed into a topical island paradise with tiki huts, nets, and authentic Hawaiian foliage sent in from the different islands of Hawaii. Guests were then greeted with puka shell necklaces as they entered the arena. Kourtney Goya, co-fundraising coordinator for the Hui-O-Hawaii Club, said, “Planning for this event began about five months ago. The officers held weekly meetings, which soon turned into biweekly meetings once Luau began to draw near.” The event included five Hawaiian dances, two Tahitian Dances, one Maori Dance and three Samoan Dances at the Luau. Guests were served many authentic Hawaiian dishes including: Kahlua pig, lomi salmon, shoyu chicken, poi ground taro, haupia (a sweet coconut pudding), chicken long rice and fruit punch. The popular local band to Hawaii, Koa’uka, took the stage for a much-anticipated concert.

Having raised over $78,000, the OSU Community has made great advances in fighting for a cure to find cancer. This year’s theme, “A Cure for All Countries” brought out an array of costumes and campsites. Many of the groups chose real as well as made-up countries. The OSU Marching Band team came to Relay with Santa hats, presents, and lights to represent The North Pole. Likewise, the Circle K team used Kazakhstan-a country made well-known from the movie “Borat.” The emphasis on the night was still the survivors of cancer who came together at the beginning of the event to celebrate their fight against the disease by participating in the Survivorship Ceremony. At this time, all cancer survivors are asked to begin the event by taking the walk and officially opening up the ceremony to 14 hours of walking. This walking, symbolic of the fightshowing that cancer never sleeps at night. As the night went on, bands performed and students got up and sang during the Relay For Life Idol tournament. A winner was crowned and the festivities and activities continued on. As morning approached, only a few people remained awake. The lumanarias were still lit up, each representing a person who has battled cancer and their individual struggle. The committee, led by event chairs Michael Lee and Jennifer Villalobos, had worked since October of 2007 to prepare for this event, which had approximately 1,000 registered participants. These participants ranged from students to faculty, to community members. Even family members from as far away as Idaho have participated.

Chelsea Clinton stopped by the Memorial Union Quad to talk about her mother’s candidacy. Hillary Clinton, who was running for President of the United States, ran a very tight race against candidate Barack Obama who ended up becoming the Democratic Party’s official candidate when Clinton seceded in June of 2008. Both the OSU College Democrats and the OSU College Republicans were out in full force registering people to vote. In addition to these groups, a slew of organizations began to develop on campus such as “Students for Barack Obama” and “Students for McCain ” These groups campaigned for specific individuals and worked hard to get students registered to vote. In Oregon, Barack Obama beat out Hillary Clinton by a wide margin and John McCain, who had already received the most votes, beat out all other candidates within the Republican Party. For the first time in Oregon’s history, Oregon stayed a pivotal part of the primary election process. Both Obama and Clinton came to Oregon, though neither stopped by Corvallis. Obama was represented by Tatiana Ali and Clinton was represented by her daughter, Chelsea. | Story by Michael Lee (Above) Members of the OSU College Democrats pose with former first daughter Chelsea Clinton. | Photo courtesy of the OSU College Democrats (Left) Chelsea Clinton visited with students and community members during the 2008 Primary to talk about her mother’s candidacy for president. | Photo courtesy of Greg Michaelson ve) Students for group argued many McCain's points during a debate n the groups Students for and Student for McCain. | by Toan Ngo s 1 (Left) College Republicans at a republican conference in Seaside.

Many of the residents of the house oftentimes would go out on trips with each other to go shooting, or play in the snow and ice. The group was formed in 2008 for the first time at OSU. This group focuses on being able to live in a social setting where you get the chance to meet a lot of new people, which could easily be done by attending concerts, bible studies and parties. Campus Crusade For Christ (Cru) was originally founded nationally in 1951. Since that time, they have reached 1,064 campuses. At Oregon State, there are many ways to get involved with Cru. A more intimate way to get involved with other students is by attending small groups, where similar ideas can be exchanged and discussed. In small groups, students got the opportunity to learn more about each other and develop more meaningful friendships. “I really liked Cru because it gave me an opportunity to meet other people that I know that I will become good friends with. That is an important thing when you come to OSU. Said Ian Hunnicutt, a sophomore in Electrical Engineering. | Story by Michael Lee 166 Organizations (Above) (Left to right) Nate Johnson.

The OSU College Democrats, for the important primary election year, brought Chelsea Clinton to the OSU Campus to inform students on Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton's key issues which included healthcare and education. Chelsea Clinton came to the Memorial Union Lounge and took the time to pose with every single person who wanted to meet and take a picture with her. The OSU College Democrats also brought to the Valley Library Quad an exhibit titled “The Iraq War Body Count Exhibit. This exhibit, which traveled all over the country had previously come from Souther Oregon University in Ashland. After OSU, the exhibit travelled to Sacremento. California where it was displayed on the states capital buillding. The exhibit is also planned to be displayed in Washington. D.C. later this year. The intentions of the display was to represent all of the individual death of soldiers in Iraq with individual flags instead of one flag representing only part of the population. Each white flag represented five Iraqi deaths and each red flag represented five American deaths. Although there was a few protests about the flag exhibit, many of the students were surprised to see the it and the number of deaths it represented. Each year, a suicide awareness project is developed to allow students to learn about suicide and prevention. This year, daisies were chosen for the display to let students at OSU know how many deaths resulted due to suicide. | Story by Michael Lee (Right) OSU College Democrats Vice President.

Morethan60studentsworked at the Barometer for a little bit of pay or credit — but mostly students were working to better the student media publication. This tight-knit group spent many hours each day producing the newspaper as well as brainstorming for issues to come. Each and every student participant at the Barometer produced or managed content for the final print edition and the website. The Barometer uploaded photos, stories, and podcasts to www.dailybarom-eter.com for those who may have missed the hard copy. Students who worked at the newspaper took pride in each and every production issue of the paper. Reporters covered a number of beats including ASOSU, athletics, police beat, Greek life, science and research, Corvallis, student life, policy, and more. Thisyear, the Barometerstaff traveled to the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco, California to cover the Beaver football game against the MarylandTarrapins. The Barometer was a Monday through Friday daily newspaper that printed 7,000 copies each day during the school year and one time weekly in the summer. It was estimated that more than 2 students read each copy of the Barometer. The Daily Barometer staff prided themselves on being able to hire and train any student at OSU who was interested in working for the paper and willing to learn. Because of this philosophy, the Barometer has been able to recruit, retain, and influence the lives of students looking for an extra-curricular activity. | Story by Lauren Dillard (Above) (From left to right, back row) Ashley Slocki.

Due to the Valentine Grams' popularity last year. KBVR wanted to help students celebrate Valentine’s Day yet again by taping personalized messages which were broadcasted on Feb. 14 on channel 26. 'Between students, faculty, staff, and even some local high school students, we have had a pretty good turnout this year, said Carl Leniger. a junior majoring in New Media Communications. and the producer of KBVR TV's “Beaver News. One of the biggest changes the station saw all year was international student Agnes Roche’s show where international students and American students could learn about one another's cultures called “Open World. “I decided it would be best if the international students decided what they would want to talk about rather than have a formal way of presenting each show.” Roche said. “It is also a good way to see how different cultures present themselves in different ways. Overall, the station's goal of reaching more people and incorporating their ideas was met and exceeded. “I think our biggest goal this year was to get our name out to the students. said Brittany Chandler. Director of Public Relations, “and I think we were successful at meeting our goal. | Story by Brittany Chandler (Top) Carl Leniger. Emma Sales.

The station’s goal was to educate through new artists, genres, and musical styles, as well as reach a broader audience. We pretty much offer everything and anything.” said Emma Sales. “Locals Live FM Producer. “We offer indie rock. punk, jazz, blues, funk, hip-hop. etc. and if we don’t have it then you can create your own show if you want to hear it.” Part of the station’s goal this year was to reach a broader audience and that was done by setting up booths in the quad and helping with the 8th annual Battle of the Bands. The station even kept an updated website where viewers could listen live and even learn more about some of the bands featured or the shows. The station also had a show on KBVR TV called “Locals Liv “where bands got the opportunity to showcase some of the fresh music talent. The show lasted a full hour and included lot of live music and an interview session with the band. “‘Locals Live' is probably my favorite program on the KBVR radio station right now. said Patrick Salvo, a junior in Construction Engineering Management.“One of my buddies introduced it to me after he worked there and I haven’t stopped listening. | Story by Brittany Chandler ■)rganv.i! s KBVR F The Associated Students of Oregon State University (ASOSU) was a great way for all students to get involved as students and learn about the student governement, the state government and the federal government. The organization had a huge number of task forces that catered to the needs of the Oregon State students. These tasks forces ranged from Environmental affairs to federal affairs, to campus affairs, and to community affairs. Students worked on issues that were important to them and every issue that was brought to the task force was taken seriously. All issues were discussed amongst the committee. Some of the things that ASOSU worked on this year was marketing of the Beaver Bus.The Beaver Bus was originally brought into the community because there was no transportation to get from downtown venues and back to the campus. This late night shuttle was used to enhance safety and security for all students who wanted to partake in late night activities. One of the highlights this year was the announcement of newly-elected president Ryan Mann. Mann and his Vice President Kimberly Nickerson took office on the first day of June. In addition to the task forces and the Beaver Bus. ASOSU was represented by legal advisors and Safe Ride. Saferide was a nightime shuttle that ran during the night which provided safe escorts from campus locations to students homes. | Story by Michael Lee (Above) Ryan Mann, president-elect sits in his office as the year ends.

The Beaver staff worked to preserve each year for all its best moments for OSU students and staff. Staff members of the yearbook included writers, photographers, editors, and students working to promote business and publicity for the yearbook on campus. Students joined the organization to take it for course credit or as an extracurricular outlet for students with a creative side. Joining the Beaver staff has always been an excellent way for new students to learn everything about the institution and their campus while also illuminating them for other students. The group was designed to teach methods to students learning New Media Communications the programs of page design but that was all taken care of by the end of the first week. From that point on. the opportunities overwhelmed the ability to pursue them Most staff picked up the skills so quickly they learn it is the creativity that can put a halt in their processes. There were so many clubs and sports and new ways to integrate one's self into the college life that it was often difficult to select which ones qualify for the year's record in the book. Sports were big hits because everyone remembered going to the games or watching them from home on KBVR TV. The yearbook caught that something extra from the school, not just the athletes but their family, friends, fans, and the kids who did something else on Saturdays. There were clubs, like the juggling team, or the Equestrian Drill team, that might otherwise go unnoticed in a busy academic year. The Beaver was proud to represent all aspects of OSU. so no Beaver is forgotten. The 2007-2008 edition turned out to be a great challenge for its opening staff. The year began with three staff members, only two of whom had ever worked on a yearbook before. These three students went to numerous events on campus, like START and Beaver Fair, recruiting interested students to help make another year memorable. It was hard work following such grand footsteps of award-winning books from earlier years, but the three original staff members. Toan Ngo. Erin Murphy, and Jake Manning made it happen. Ngo. Beaver Photo Editor, assembled a staff of photographers to attend such events as Dad's Weekend. Civil War. and Late Night activities and flash their press badges to get backstage access to OSU's finest. Manning and Murphy managed business and staff writers who then took those photos, those quotes, and those unique accounts to a further extent by recreating the story in their own words for everyone to experience. Beaver staff worked through late night “pages and pizza” sessions to fill the book with memories and outstandng moments that may have gone overlooked. Students often missed the bigger picture, or the whole story, while in the classroom, or dorm room, studying. The yearbook offered the whole picture - the bigger story, for anyone looking back on their time here at OSU. This book was that visual record of what was fun. what was challenging. what you missed. The book was a reminder as if to say “In case you forgot, we re OSU. | Story by Erin Murphy (Above) Toan Ngo, Mike Lee. and Erin Murphy test out the timer on the camera.

The council was led by MU President Kate Normandin and MU Vice President Matt Vancil. Under these two leaders were 10 full-time program directors. The program directors came to MUPC with a variety of experiences and knowledge relating to public relations and organization. The 2007-2008 crew consisted of Raphiel Carter. Caitlyn DeMars. Kathryn Fitzgibbon, Hank Hirsch, Callie Lasard. Samantha Murillio. Sabreena Newman, Jen Russell. Trevor Schmidt, and Cierra Westlund. The MUPC events received top reviews as most of the programs designed from previous years had been upgraded to be bigger and better than ever before. Along with the traditional “Dad's Weekend and Mom's Weekend. there were a variety of fun and exciting events such as Battle of the Bands 8 and “Free World Music Festival which took place in the spring and summer of 2008. Also seen was the third annual “Snow in the Quad. which had more hype, followed by a larger participation the its first two years. Also receiving great recognition was the annual “Children’s Holiday Party in December. The party was put on in the MU to entertain kids with holiday games, crafts, and a visit with some OMSI regulars, the alligator, snakes, turtles, and frogs. The party gave parents some spare time for holiday shopping or just a day of rest; coincidentally, it fell on a Sunday. There were several smaller events held to gather students at leisure but the MUPC. this year, tried focusing on more personal issues to challenge students. Such events as the first ever social justice series which was presented during winter term. Also held winter term were the Men and Women’s Leadership Conferences, which were tremendous successes. The Men’s Leadership Conference. MUPC’s first ever, was held in February with keynote speaker. Mike Riley. Oregon State's head football coach. Concluding the year for MUPC was the always-popular concert weekend with “Battle of the Bands and “Free World Music Festival. The MUPC had an excellent year and learned as a team. The 2007-2008 group made lifelong friendships and big steps for Oregon State. The Memorial Union Program Council thanks Oregon State University and all its students for a great year.

In 1873, Corvallis College began its Army Cadet Corps to fulfill a provision of the Morrill Act of 1862. Oregon State University has offered military training through the college system ever since. Thanks to the National Defense Act of 1916. Army Officer training was broadened and developed by colleges and universities to establish the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Oregon State University known as the “West Point of the West in World War II. accrediting its commission of more officers than any other nonmilitary academy in the United States. Not long after the war was over, a Department of Naval Science and Department of Air Force Studies were added to the list giving OSU NROTC and AFROTC programs. The current ROTC Program is made up of three departments: Air Force Studies, Military Science, and Naval Science. Oregon State is now one of 48 colleges and universities that offer education for all three military departments. It used to be that any able-bodied” male student was required to take two years of military science and tactics, but the ROTC program has been optional now since 1962. Since women have gotten more involved in the military since the program was established, there are now growing opportunities for women to participate in the ROTC, as well. The ROTC carefully chooses these young adults through a training program designed to coordinate with their academic curricula. Their mission is to provide bright futures for these determined students. | Story by Erin Murphy (Above) Dain Cason, of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps. | Photo courtesy of Dain Cason (Left) Ken Strawn. of the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps, instructs cadets on one of their training days. | Photo courtesy of The Daily Barometer 184 Organizations AIR FORCE STUDIES The Air and Space studies division of ROTC prepared students for a career as an Air Force Officer or in the civilian federal service. Taking Air and Space Studies courses enabled students to pursue federal government career opportunities while simultaneously completing any university undergraduate or graduate degree. Air and Space Studies courses were open to all university students. The courses were taught by Air Force officers. If students desired a career as an Air Force officer they had to complete all Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) requirements. If students desired other federal service career opportunities, department programs and instructors were available to help them achieve their career goals. The U.S. Air Force’s mission was to Fly. Fight and Win in the Air. Space and Cyberspace.” Whether a student's interest lay in flying advanced aircraft, operating sophisticated outer space systems. defending America’s cyberspace infrastructure, researching and developing state-of-the-art technology, or working as a language interpreter, defense intelligence officer, medical or legal professional. the Air and Space Studies Department guided students to exciting and challenging opportunities. | Story courtesy of OSU’s Airforce ROTC (Above left) Honor Guard members.

Brought to students by University Housing and Dining services, Late Night worked hard to provide a number of events thoughout the school year that promoted activities from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., usually on Friday nights. Late Night was often known for putting on events that ranged from GINORMOUS-bigger than life-board games, to art walls, bowling, open mike, free food, and game shows. Besides a game of Clue fit for Gulliver and his travels, one of this year’s favorites was a hypnotist that was able to put more than a few students under his hypnotic control. Also, a yearly favorite was Casino Night put on in the Arnold Dining Center. Lauren Harder, a junior in Housing Studies said, “Late night at OSU was a great way to spend Friday nights with your friends and make new friends at the same time.” Every year, Late Night seems to get bigger and better at creating events that would keep audiences of all ages entertained. | Story by Michael Lee 190 Organizations (Above) A hypnotist put a stageful of students into hypnosis.

Their goal? To educate and provide resources to s u who are interested in learning about the history a culture of Latin American traditions. In previous years, the center has worked on numerous bills introduced into the US Senate. They have worked to bring activism to the university to educate the community. Cesar Chavez was a man who fought for the rights of the Latin American people all his life. In 1962. Chavez formed the National Farm Workers Association after years of injustice; watching his mother and father work for unreasonably low wages. In a combined effort with Delores Huerta, the United Farm Workers Union became a reality. By 1970. Chavez successfully developed a union that consisted of over 50.000 members. At that time, it became a goal to get laws passed that would allow for collective bargaining agreements and strikes, if necessary. Chavez began a fast that lasted for 36 days and included prominent people such as actress Whoopi Goldberg, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, actor Martin Sheen, and a number of other individuals. In 1993. Chavez passed away in his sleep. In 1994, Former President Bill Clinton provided his wife with the Medal of Freedom. America’s highest civilian honor The 4C’s is a place that represents the ideology of Chavez: freedom, leadership and culture.

Three years later, a cultural center open on campus for students of color. The Nativ Americans. Hispanics, and Blacks collective had a center to call their own. On April 26th 1975, the BSU opened a cultural center to call their own, thanks to the associated students o IOSU, the Alumni Center, and the community. After the official opening in 1975, the BSU Cultural Center’s name was changed to the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center.! Lonnie B. Harris was the first director of the EOP.

Inside of the Longhouse were a wide variety of people who were putting on events all year round to educate and inform the campus of Native American traditions. The events, made popular by years of traditions still provoked the attention of both students and the community. One of the favorite events was the Pow-Wow that took place towards the end of the year. Although it appeared to be a small gathering from the outside of McAlexander Fieldhouse, one look inside and the number of people may have shocked you. All wearing their Native American garments as symbols of their heritage, the OSU Pow-Wow was a big hit once again. Another event that was made popular after years of tradition was the Salmon Bake. This event sold out yet another year as students and faculty from the university came to enjoy the feast. In addition to the numerous events that took place as part of the Native American Longhouse tradition, the organization also focused on teaching the students in the community about the heritage and culture of the Native Americans. “I really enjoyed attending some of their events, said Ian Hunnicutt, a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering.“I really think that a lot of what they teach can be beneficial to learning about the different cultures and traditions. | Story by Michael Lee (Above) The Native American Longhouse community is like a family.

I have learned so much and hope to never stop educating myself about women’s issues. As I look back upon these four college years... I’ve had an incredible journey.” - Neha George, Outreach Activism OSU was proud of their diversity and the Women's Center was no different. Men and women were invited to any event held and encouraged to leave their prejudices at the door. A welcoming enviroment to incoming and long-time students, the Women’s Center provided a sanctuary from sexist views spread by scantily clad themed parties and the pressure to be what today's standards believe women should be. The center hosted such events as the Feminist Fair in the spring and helped with others like the Drag Shows where several members of the center were back up dancers. The center’s newsletter. Women’s Intra-campus Resource Exchange (W.I.R.E.), provided an outlet for members of the Women’s Center to discuss their issues or share their memories in an open way amongst friends, to be informative, and fun. The Women’s Center at Oregon State University left those involved permanently touched. I Story by Erin Murphy (Above right) Students gather at the Women’s Center for a lecture and free food.

I Photo by Brian Tsai i k ASIAN PACIHC r .IHHiiftU The Asian and Pacific Cultural Center (APCC), located right off campus, was a place open to all students, faculty and the community. The center, originally opened in 1991, worked to provide a sense of belonging to the different cultures at Oregon State University. Of all of the cultural centers on campus, the APCC was the one that was brought to the campus through the expressed means of the staff and faculty, and served as a place for those from over 50 countries to learn about the numerous cultures around Asia. These included national and history months, cultural nights, and hanging out with new friends. The APCC is a great place for students to hang out and get to know each other. It’s a place where friendships are made and connections are met. I valued my experience working with the APCC because I have met people that I will know for a lifetime,” said Jenny Fuiji, a senior in Natural Resources. “Everyone should feel welcomed when they come here, and we try really hard to promote an open atmosphere. The Asian Pacific Cultural Center was open to all students and provided many great reresources such as a kitchen, meeting space and lounge space where you could relax. In addition to the many things that the APCC did outside of their center, they also spent a lot of time indoors telling stories and promoting their center. The students worked hard to be able to provide an opportunity for all students to be able to come in and gain insight on what the Asian Pacific Cultural Center meant. | Story by Michael Lee (Above right) Students hanging out at the APCC. | Photo courtesy of the Asian and Pacific Cultural Center (Right) Vincent Vuong outside of the Memorial Union promoting the APCC to interested students. | Photo by Brittany Chandler 200 Organizations Asian Pacific Cultural Center j Asian Pacific Cultural (Above) During halloween, sti would take turns telling ghost S This was a great way to get to kno ers as well as learn some interesti possibly real stories. | Photo cou The Daily Barometer ! tel E? f.' ■■ (Above) The APCC hosts Asian Pacific Cultural Week in the MU Quad during Spring term.

The Pride Center affirmed the identities and empowered the lives of LGBTQQI people by providing education, outreach, program support, consultation, community development, visibility and advocacy. The Pride Center was a safe space for all members of the community to explore aspects of sexual orientation and gender identity in an open and non-judgmental atmosphere. “Whether you identify as gay. bi. or an ally, if you don’t use this resource, it’s a waste of a great opportunity. The friendships you get in here are everlasting. says Mikhelle Gattone. a dual member of the Native American Longhouse and the Pride Center at Oregon State University.

To that end, we consistantly strive to improve the OSU community. One way we have accomplished this is by putting on a philanthropy to benefit abandoned and abused domestic animals. We do this by working closely with Heartland Humane Society through volunteer services and fundraising. We participate in the Beaver Community fair-for recruitment to promote our sorority and Heartland Humane Society. We also participate in “Wine for Whiskers and “Pet Walk”, both fundraisers for Heartland. While we do volunteer a significant amount of time, we still found time to bond. Each fall we do a new and unique artistic activity. This year we painted pottery. In the Winter we had our Formal Dinner, where we dressed up and went to a fancy restaurant for dinner. We also made and sold Valentine’s Day Truffles as a fundraiser. We also go out four times a year and clean a section of Highway 34 as part of the Adopt a Highway program. This has been another great year for the ladies of Sigma Lambda Delta. | Story courtesy of Sigma Lambda Delta (Left) Sigma Lambda Delta sorority girls and the horse! | Photo courtesy of Sigma Lambda Delta Greek Life 209 Phi Delta At Phi Delta Theta we strive to live up to our three cardinal principles; friendship, sound learning, and moral rectitude. Phi Delta Theta is a place where a young man can build lifelong friendships, and become an honorable college student. It is our goal to participate in all Greek philanthropies and be active on campus. We are proud to be the winners of Greek Week 2008. Notable chapter alumni include 1962 Heisman winner Terry Baker, Kentucky head football coach Rich Brooks, and long time head basketball coach Amory “Slats” Gill. We would like to dedicate this page to brother Benjamin Gerling. He took his own life on May 5th, 2008, and will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and Fraternity brothers. Brother Gerling was a true example of Phi Delta Theta and its founding principles. He truly was, “Proud to be a Phi.” | Story courtesy of Phi Delta Theta (Below) Phi Delta Theta Winter Retreat at Silver Falls State Park.

Through active implementation of the Balanced Man Program, members continued to strive not only in the classroom, but continued its involvement in all aspects of campus affairs, including the ASOSU student government, a member of the OSU football team, and intramural sports. The OSU campus benefited greatly from the leadership of Greg Purdy, who served as the ASOSU President. Brad Gochnauer was the Senate Chair, and the following SigEp's represented their respective colleges as senators: Ian Nicholson. Jerry Klein. Conner McNay. Austin Stenger. Nathan Kuedell. Dallas Gerritz. Justin Madrigal. Derek Scott. Jason Kintz, Jon Moravec. Ryan Mann. Additionally. Khoi Le was the Chair of the Educational Activities Committee, and brothers Ryan Mann, Justin Dorsey, and Zac Willmarth served as ASOSU Task Force directors. This leadership also extended to numerous clubs and organizations on campus, such as Tyler Wilson serving as president of the Pre-dental club as well as several brothers hosting Greekside bible studies at the chapter house. Seeing as philanthropic endeavors are a cornerstone of the Greek System, the members look to find more ways to volunteer and give back to the community. They responded by amassing 1.600 hours of community service. This year a brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon started a new organization which was soon adopted as the new house philanthropy. Karmic Causes, an organization founded by brother Vishal Khemlani, was incorporated into Sig Stock. Sig Stock involved the cooperation of four fraternities raising money to build schools in underdeveloped countries by putting on a 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Block Party, and charity concert during beautiful spring weather. As the largest OSU Greek philanthropy to date, the fraternities helped raise over S22.000 to benefit thousands of children worldwide. | Story courtesy of Sigma Phi Epsilon (Below) Members holding awards after the annual national Fraternity CLA leadership meeting. | Photo courtesy of Sigma Phi Epsilon 212 Greek Life (Above) The band, Pilot Light, playing in front of our house for SigStock. | Photo courtesy of Sigma Phi Epsilon (Above) The house decorated for the Christmas light competition Between all of the houses. | Photo courtesy of Sigma Phi Epsilon (Above) The SigEp house covered in snow during the winter. | Photo courtesy of Sigma Phi Epsilon (Left) Brothers coming together and putting in over 300 man hours to make a patio and fire pit. | Photo courtesy of Sigma (Below) 2007 freshman after winning the Pledge Bowl. | Photo courtesy of Sigma Phi Epsilon Greek Life 213 Kappa Alpha Theta (Above left) Kappa Alpha Theta junior class.

We have been very involved in many philanthropies this year winning the titles of most of them. A few that stand out are Derby Days where we raised over $3000, Mock Rock where we won the dance competition, a 3rd place finish in SING, and we raised over $4000 for our own philanthropy IronBrawl! Kappa Alpha Theta also raised the most money for the Relay For Life campaign on the OSU campus. Our seniors had a lovely senior day with an OPEN to CLOSE. We also had three amazing dances, one was a fun jingle ball at the senior center, the next we decided to shake things up a bit and have a bowling dance, and the last one was at Reser Stadium with a Vegas theme that was totally memorable. As sisters we had some really fun and unique sisterhoods, including a double-decker bus to take us around to different boutiques and go shopping. On Halloween we spent some time making decorations and pumpkins with kids from around Corvallis. Overall we have had fun year together in Kappa Alpha Theta and want to wish our seniors congratulations on graduating and good luck in the future! | Story courtesy of Kappa Alpha Theta (Above) The entire sorority poses with the winner of their philanthropy event Mr. Casanova with proceeds going to the local C.A.S.A. program. | Photo courtesy of Kappa Alpha Theta (Left) Theta’s rode a double-decker bus for a sisterhood during sorority bus week where shops downtown opened their doors after hours with sales and treats. | Photo courtesy of Kappa Alpha Theta 214 Greek Life kappa Kappa Gamma Every girl should be three things: classy, fabulous, and a Kappa. This year we sure held up to our saying with a strong recruitment class, campus involvement, improving grades, radical beaver fans, and loads of community service. We made it a priority to do well in everything we put our time into whether it was Kappa Classic, Greek week with Chi Phi, Miss Minerva, Derby Days, Sing, etc. Kappa’s leadership was strong on and off campus this year with most women working in different departments on campus, tutoring children, and holding positions in the house and on Panhellenic. Kappas are also involved in OSU cheerleading, intramural sports, and OSU’s woman’s group Divine. Partnered with Theta Chi, Kappa Kappa Gamma was also named Most Improved and Runner Up for IFC Sing. We also know how to have a good time! From Margarita Ville to Sapphire Ball and many functions in between there is never a dull moment in this house. At Kappa Kappa Gamma we promote unity in a close bond of friendship, seek to instill love and helpfulness in each member so that we may attain moral, social, and intellectual excellence through out or lives after our days at Oregon State University. | Story By Mary Hall i (Above) GO Beavers!

Basing our ideals on Friendship. Justice, and Learning we create strong values in and outside of the chapter. Sigma Chi started the year with initiating 14 new leaders into the chapter. Currently we have a little over 50 active undergraduate members. Academics is a focus of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and we work hard to improve our G.P.A. term by term. We have currently taken second in Cumulative house G.P.A. in the fraternity system for the fall and winter terms. Many people may or may not be familiar with our popular Philanthropy Sigma Chi Derby Days. We were able to raise just over 14.000 dollars for Doernbecher children's hospital. Sigma Chi is also involved in many other philanthropies, including the KAO Iron Brawl, the Kappa Classic (which we placed third). IFC sing, and Pledge bowl. The strong brotherhood that is shown in Sigma Chi is tremendous. The experience we have creates memories of a life time. Besides being involved with as many possible philanthropies and academic priorities, we enjoy the social aspects of college as well. From football games to trips. Sigma Chi was able to enjoy a variety of activities. Whistler. Shasta, and random drives to different chapters around the states have been some of our favorite activities of the 2007-2008 school year. | Story courtesy of Sigma Chi 216 Greek Life Greek Life 217 218 Portraits Kelsey Abegg Industrial Engineering Jenna Bahlenhorst Business Kiersten Bailey Business Brooke Berger Health Management Aubri Bishop Undeclared Jordan Brook Mechanical Engineering Allyse Bourm Nutrition Food Management Nicholas Buccafurni Civil Engineering Melissa Cady Art Jeff Cary Civil Engineering Kelsey Cooper Exercise Sports Science Kelly Courtain Pre-Physician’s Assistant 220 Portraits David Dobson Civil Engineering Jenni Goldstein Merchandising Management Froshman 221 Luke Marque; Business Rebecca Nobh University Exploratory Studiei Hannah Page Undeclared Halie Pentin Biochemistry Brian Petersoi Undeclare 222 Portraits Lily Shorey Pre-Dietetics lanjita Ram sychology Tamal Riedman Undeclared Jessica Ross Exercise Sports Science Stephanie Spencer Education Amanda Stone Undeclared Julianne Sovince Interior Design Jordan Smalley Business Daniel Wambaugh Anthropology Devonne Wallace-Irish Political Science Miki Waldheim Merchandising Management 'r.-shman 223 Brooks Barkow Business Raphiel Cart Sociology Political Scien Alison Gemperli Psycholog Melissa Burn: Design Humai Environment 224 Portrait Linda Hamilton English Jillian Herrington Apparel Design Morgan Huey Pre-Pharmacy Sam Kopp “Octavio” Mechanical Engineering Ian Hunnicutt Mechanical Engineering Jenna Lander Human Development Family Sciences Travis Moore Computer Science Christine Lee Interiors Joel Moreno Nuclear Engineering Sophomores 225 Erin Murphy Zoology Nicole Nasholm Biology Alex Norman Business Jennifer Osburn Whitney Norman ii ii Mona Phan Biology Timmy Perston Electrical Computer Engineering Katie Parker History International Studies Chris Skelte Civil Engineering Katie Schrage Sociology Anthony Rue Business Stephanie Trinh Business Economics Andrew Struthers Business Administration Kim Weisgerber Nursing Anneka Wickramanayake Tyler Wiser Industrial Engineering Sophomores 227 Hashem Abdel-Hadi Business Administration Ellen Ballantine Mechanical Engineering Hank Bauer Economics Education Giuliana Buccafurni HDFS Early Childhood Education Zues Brunner Environmental Engineering Danielle Carpenter Speech Communication 228 Portraits Amanda Halama Business Education Samantha Godfrey Mechanical Engineering Emily Germond Fine Arts Amber Hayward Business Lauren Harder Housing Studies Chris Hancock Pre-Education Kali Knudson Human Development Kristen Highland Dietetics Patty Heintz Biochemistry Juniors 229 Megan Kunkel English Carl Leniger New Media Communications Jake Manning Business Administration Sara McMenamin Excercise Sports Science Andrea McHugh Microbiology Samir Mehio Chemical Engineering Kendra Miller English Manuel Meza Civil Engineering Lauren Moore Business Administration 230 Portraits w © i n if Trevor Schmidt English Erica Sanders Merchandising Tawnya Redding Psychology Alisha Tuladhar Environmental Engineering Jennifer Tefteller Human Development Family Sciences Tori Terjeson Merchandising Management Megan Walker Human Development Dwight Wozich History Tyler VanDomelen Aquatic Biology Juniors 231 Lindsay Aai Busin Kaileen Ami; Environmental Scient Mary Kay Bal HDFS Human Servio Stephanie Beai Biol Chris Campb Mechanical Engineerii Nick Coddmgto-Sociology NMC Tracey Cox Photograph'.
