Parking services ramps up ticketing

Woman cited for public indecency for allegedly recording pornography in Valley Library

Oregon State Police cited a former Oregon State University student for public indecency after she allegedly shot a pornographic video in the Valley Library. Before the video was taken down from PornHub.com, it circulated on social media outlets such as Facebook. “This is a video we understand was made several months ago,” said Steve Clark, vice president for university relations and marketing. After learning about the alleged incident, the university made a report with OSP, according to Clark. To Clark’s knowledge, there has been no discussion of excluding the woman from OSU property. An OSP trooper cited and released the woman Jan. 27 at approximately 2:30 p.m., according to police logs.

A parked car receives a ticket Wednesday afternoon. Parking Services is ramping up ticketing this term following last term’s grace period.

Cody Roos, a third-year student in accounting and finance, always parks on campus after 5 p.m., never worrying about getting a ticket. Yet, even when he parked in a familiar spot by Fairbanks Hall without a “no parking” sign at 7 p.m., Roos returned an hour later to find a bright orange envelope sitting on his windshield. “I have parked in the spot before and never had any issues,” Roos said. “I won’t be parking in that spot again, but I filed an appeal because I feel that they should have given a warning rather than a $30 ticket. I haven’t heard anything back from TAPS about accepting my appeal.” Fall term, Oregon State University implemented a new zonal parking system in which commuters can purchase permits of varying costs that correspond to specific lots on campus. With the implementation of zonal parking and the continued use of short-term lots and metered spaces, commuters continue to have trouble finding their feet on campus. See PARKING | page 4

Like thousands of other students starting at Oregon State University this year, chemical engineering major Ben Rosene is a freshman easing the into uncertainties of college life. For the past few weeks, on top of keeping up with his classes, he’s been to multiple rehearsals for a musical concert aided by three different choirs. It’s a demanding job on its own, and even harder as a busy student. Rosene is gearing up for Jan. 29’s scheduled production, “Music and Hope,” one of the professionallevel compilations the Corvallis-OSU Symphony will perform this year. During the symphony’s warmup, blaring noises from dozens of instruments warming can make it difficult to hear neighboring musicians. Rehearsals can last several hours, and for Rosene, much of it involves sitting and waiting while other instruments play through their sections. He spends most of it laughing and talking with friends in his section near the back of the stage. According to Rosene, the moment a concert starts makes all the time spent “mastering the technicalities” worthwhile. “It’s a huge adrenaline rush,” he said. “That’s really what draws me to keep playing music. I’m generally a pretty introverted person, so being able to sit in front of 1,000 people and play is … it’s a little bit scary, but I’m so well prepared, I don’t really have to worry about that.” Rosene was introduced to music at a young age, excelling in his middle school band program and entering the Portland Youth Philharmonic his sophomore year of high school. The philharmonic is where he developed his fondness for symphonic concerts. From there, he was eventually introduced to OSU’s

symphony by a former instructor. As an orchestral trombone player, he sets aside at least an hour each day to practice outside of rehearsals. “A lot of it is just listening to the music,” he said. “I’ll go through the piece one or two times on Spotify, just so I can know what all the entrances are. (I need) to know exactly what it sounds like two measures before I come in. The fundamentals come down to getting your tone good, your pitch more solid, working out intervals and having a more flexible range.”

Microbiology junior Jacqueline Gillon said “the majority of players” practice in their spare time to branch out and develop their own material. “That’s how we actually become better players — it’s by inventing our own stuff,” Gillon said. “There’s the symphony, but then we also have other ensembles. Some students get together and play quartets, which is just a way to learn new styles. A lot of time students have a concerto, which is a solo for their specific See SYMPHONY | page 4

The Associated Students of Oregon State University House of Representatives met Wednesday night to discuss various fiscal and structural changes they are hoping to enact between this year and next. They discussed the finalization of the budget put together by the Student and Incidental Fees Committee. There were two presentations regarding ASOSU affiliates: their government affairs task force and SafeRide. Mackenzie Zathan, external coordinator of SafeRide, gave a presentation on the “revamping” of SafeRide. She discussed funding for the program, and voiced concerns that lack thereof is “preventing program growth” for all students that use the service. Rachel Grisham, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, talked briefly about recruiting students to protest at the Capitol for a student tuition freeze. Bills 06.04 through 06.10 were read. The bills would create constituency seats for the Pride Center, Women’s Center, Black Culture Center, Etihad Cultural Center, Centro Cultural Cesar Chavez, Native American Longhouse and Asian and Pacific Cultural Center. The seats would be added to the existing 25. Speaker of the House Saul Boulanger See ASOSU | page 4
