Police have been unable to identify a suspect, but will continue interviews with the student to see if she remembers more details from the attack, Mitchell said. Police will also try to determine whether video surveillance around the area might have captured the assault, and are following leads called in from the community. Mitchell recommends students who must walk at night do so in pairs and avoid poorly-lit streets. If a student must walk alone, he suggests the student inform someone of where he or she is going and when

he or she will likely arrive. Mitchell recommended students consider using Safe Ride, a service available to OSU students that provides late night transportation to and from campus. If a student suspects he or she is being followed, Mitchell recommends walking faster, making noise, calling 911 and using the blue light phones around campus. Police do not believe the attack is related to a series of break-ins at students’ apartments last month, said Corvallis Police Captain Dave Henslee. In those cases, a man broke into the women’s homes near the 2200 and 2300 blocks of Harrison Boulevard on Dec. 5 and rifled through their underwear drawers. Nothing was removed from the residences, but the man took one woman’s undergarments out of her drawer and laid them on the bed. The victims who woke during the intrusion described the man as a six foot tall, white, with a thin build. Henslee said Corvallis Police have no suspects in that case.

Student Experience Center reaches final planning stages Chinese cultural n

Student Experience Center, Memorial Union East construction is set to begin after 2013 commencement By Jack Lammers The Daily Barometer

In 1928, the Monticello-like Memorial Union building opened for a student population of 3,490. In 1959, Oregon State University expanded the structure for a student population of 7,729. Now, with a student population of 26,393, the Memorial Union reaches the final stages of another expansion under the working title of Student Experience Center. The four-story building will house OSU activities and programs now located in Snell Hall and some from the Memorial Union. Along with 25 other programs, the Student Experience Center will house ASOSU, Student Media and the Memorial Union Program Council. Along with the Student Experience Center, students can expect 35,000 feet of repurposed space from the OSU Beaver Store move and an 8,000 square foot covered plaza between the future building and the east wing of the Memorial Union. Plans for the Student Experience Center received student support in 2010, when a record student voter turnout supported the

increase in student fees with 70 percent approval in a referendum drafted by the Memorial Union and ASOSU. Students can attribute $48 of increase in fall, winter and spring, and a $36 increase in summer term fees to the SEC project. “Now that we are losing revenue from the bookstore, student fees

will go up,” said Michael Henthorne, Memorial Union director. “The budget we sent in 2010, though, still appears to be on target, meaning we can sharpen our pencils a bit more when it comes to aspects like heating and cooling the buildings.” This year, MU President Michael Fashana and ASOSU President

Amelia Harris have taken part in the process of finalizing the Student Experience Center, and receiving approval from both the Campus Planning Committee and Historic Resources Commission. “I have worked to tell them why See SEC| page 2
