Library printer failure, printing demands lead to lines, wait time By Chris Correll
THE DAILY BAROMETER
Near the start of the term, students rush to classes in buildings they’ve never heard of, scramble to finish homework and inevitably crowd the library printers with requests for novel-length papers. So when one or more printers go out of order, frustrations can get high. Slowdowns tend to happen when students are in the biggest hurry: late in the hour during transitions between classes.
Someone who needs to print just before class starts may have to wait. Students who have suffered delays are offering their own solutions. “They need to add more printers — two or three more,” said Anna Stargel, a senior in natural resources. “Some people print off huge textbooks. If they had one printer designated for 50-plus pages, it would help.” Other criticisms are targeted not at the number of printers, but the printing system itself. A single request of 100 pages or more can slow down the process for everyone.
One alternative for printing large documents is to go use another service besides the Valley Library. A student wanting to place a large request can submit their order online to printing and mailing services out of Cascade Hall and pick it up at the front desk. But many students still rely on the Valley Library. BeaverPrint system is a new component of printing on campus.

Since Tebeau Hall’s opening fall term, a second clinic featuring same-day appointments has been open on Oregon State University’s campus. But many students never got the memo. The new facility, the Tebeau Hall Same-Day Clinic, held an open house Jan. 15 to get self-promotion going. Since it opened fall term, the Student Health Services’ extension has been relatively quiet presence. Students can get many of the services they’d find at Plageman Hall. Daniel Casebier, a junior in civil engineering, was unaware a second clinic had opened. “I hadn’t heard of it,” said Casebier, who felt the location was a key factor. “There are a lot of students that are required to live on campus in that area.” With a clinic off of Monroe and another by the eastern dorms, SHS has effectively doubled its presence on campus. The ill and injured now have a second source of treatment, but this Tebeau clinic serves a more specific purpose. Several years ago, the rising student population started straining SHS staff. The waiting time for a sudden injury could be up to two hours. “Our building is pretty well maxed out on where we can see patients. We’d already moved our physical therapy over to Dixon, and we didn’t have room for any more clinicians,” said See TEBEAU | page 4

Students serve students at SafeRide, providing transport, conversation after dark By Kaitlyn Kohlenberg and Sean Bassinger THE DAILY BAROMETER
In the 12-passenger van with the local top-40 radio station playing, riding with SafeRide is more like getting a ride from a friend than a university-organized transport service. “I’ve had some fun conversations,” said Sofiya Popova, a senior studying merchandising management. “(I like) being able to actually hang out with people and know it’s not just some
