College of Business putting on ‘An Evening With Management Professionals’ By Cameron Ray News Contributor
The Career Success Center in the College of Business, along with management faculty and the Management Club at Oregon State University, will be hosting “An Evening with Management Professionals” today from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in Austin Hall 102. The event provides a great opportunity for students to learn what it is like to be a manager in different companies and in different roles, according to Holly Hill, the assistant director of the Career Success Center. Students will be able to learn from, as well as network with management professionals from a number of companies including Columbia Sportswear, Marquis Health and Target. “The goal is to give management students an idea of what it’s like to go into a management position,” Hill said. The companies are bringing multiple managers of different capacities anywhere from three to four people. They will speak about what their day-to-day is like, and discuss the best and the worst things about being a manager. According to Keith Leavitt, an associate professor and a program director for Management in the College of Business, the event will help management students bridge the gap between being a student and becoming a professional. “This event is one of many opportunities that are coming up to let our students take the reigns in their own career development,” Leavitt said. Management students will be split into sessions based on their indicated management interests. These sessions will consist of two 45 minute discussions with single companies. The discussions are driven by student questions toward the professionals. Following the two sessions there is a networking reception to meet with all the employers, where students can ask more personalized questions and meet with companies not involved in their sessions. Students will be meeting with companies who are looking to the event to hire students right out of school. “The majority of jobs are not advertised. They are not
found from online postings. The majority of people who find professional careers do it through their networks. So networking and connecting with individuals who know people who are hiring or who are hiring themselves—this is another opportunity to help students grow their professional network,” Hill said. According to Anthony Klotz, assistant professor and faculty advisor for the Management Club in the College of Business, management students are unclear of what a career in management looks like. There are not many opportunities for them to gain management experience as a student and this event is designed to help them better understand their future careers. The Management Club was the core of the planning
team for this event, they partnered with the Career Success Center to select companies for the sessions. This is the first time the management major will have a dedicated event for meeting and networking with companies and they plan to make it an annual event, according to Klotz. The Career Success Center’s objective is to help students become competitive, land internships, and get jobs. They work with students on résumés, internship searches, hold mock interviews, and more all to support students. The Management Club meets weekly in Austin 116 and is open to students. baro.news@oregonstate.edu

Get to know your student leaders: Isamar Chavez

ASOSU Task Force Director of Campus Affairs, Isamar Chavez, a first year transfer junior double major in liberal studies and education at her desk located in the SEC.
ASOSU Campus Affairs Task Force Director, Student Advocate By Sarah Weaver News Contributor
As the Associated Students of Oregon State University’s Campus Affairs Task Force Director and a double major in liberal studies and education with a peace studies certificate, Isamar Chavez has a lot on her plate. However, no matter how busy she may be, she always makes time to help others and make OSU a better place. Working a total of five jobs and making both the academic President and Dean’s List in her time at Chemeketa Community College, Chavez made the time to follow her passion for serving others and being active in the community. The summer after her freshman year at Chemeketa, Chavez volunteered as a counselor for a program at the 4H, a nonprofit organization aimed to advance youth development and designed for Latino youth to learn more about higher education. The program was run by Mario Magaña, one of OSU’s 4H state outreach coordinators. This was where Chavez was first exposed to the leadership of the OSU faculty. “I thought ‘Wow, these people are so awe-

some—If they got that at Oregon State, maybe I could get some at Oregon State too,’” Chavez said. After attending and testifying at a Ways and Means Budget Committee, where she was one of many students trying to make a difference , Chavez was approached by current ASOSU President Cassie Huber. “Hearing other student voices within that space really gave me the motivation,” Chavez said, referencing how it motivated her to push herself to do things she’s never done before. Huber asked Chavez if she had ever done any work with student government before, and after telling Huber that this was her first time doing anything like this, Huber suggested that Chavez look into ASOSU. According to Chavez, as the Campus Affairs Task Force Director, her primary job is to promote the safety, livability and academic success of all OSU students. “The way I see it is when students question their safety it affects their livability and therefore impacts their academic success, so I didn’t realize how big of a challenge it would be to identify all of the different factors that come into play in regard to student safety,” Chavez said. Chavez plans on promoting and fostering a safe environment for OSU students, specifically taking into account the experiences and safety of students of color. She also collabo-

rates with other task force directors to host a sexual assault prevention and bystander awareness program for student leaders. In addition to these, Chavez is also a member of the Classroom Improvement Worker Committee, in which she helps decide what classrooms at OSU should look like in the next 10 years. The committee focuses on creating improvements such as making classrooms less crowded and remodeling some of the older buildings on campus. Chavez is planning on creating focus groups comprised of students in different colleges within OSU to see what they think needs to be changed at the university. Even though the students she will be talking to will most likely not be at OSU for the next ten years, she still wants to hear their input and what they have to say. “Unfortunately they won’t be here for 10 years unless they’re studying for their PhD or something like that but I think that students’ voices are very important to administrative efforts,” Chavez said. One of the things Chavez enjoys about her job is meeting the students and helping them realize how much power they have at OSU. “There’s something special about interacting with students and hearing what they want to do in the world, and also hearing what’s not working for them at the university and feeding off of their ideas, I took a lot of responsibility off of that,” Chavez said. With roughly 30,000 students, Oregon State University has the same amount of people as Chavez’s hometown of McMinnville, OR. Chavez said that she often thinks of the members of her community back home. Thinking about the hardworking members of her home-
town and likening them to the students at OSU keeps her going even on the harder days. Chavez’s days start at 7:30 a.m. when she first gets to the office where she goes back and forth between meetings, work, collaborating with her fellow Task Force Directors, going to events and going to class. Women’s Affairs Task Force Director and sophomore liberal studies and education major Abby Pasion discussed how she, Chavez and the Wellness Affairs Task Force Director are currently working on a Bystanders Awareness Program with Student Health Services. According to the Graduate Affairs Task Force Director and college student services administration major Jeff Baxter, the Accessibility Affairs Task Force Director Dakota Train and Pasion, who wokr with Chavev daily, Chavez brings a fun air into the workplace. “She can dance,” Baxter said. Those that collaborate with Chavez allude to her upbeat attitude and work ethic as the driving force behind her work. “When she comes into a room she fills it with positive energy,” Pasion said. In her spare time Chavez likes spending time with her roommates, doing lyrical hiphop dancing, hiking, and going back home to McMinnville. She is also involved in other student organizations including MASA and MEChA. “I’m really grateful to be here, meeting the students, hearing their voices, their concerns, their dreams, there’s a lot of really talented people at Oregon State University—that’s what I admire,” Chavez said. baro.news@oregonstate.edu

Ruth Reichl talks food Provost Lecture Series continues on campus Wednesday night By Lauren Sluss News Contributor
Co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Oregon State University Foundation, the Provost Lecture Series will be hosting best-selling author and food critic Ruth Reichl to speak about her novels and food expertise on Feb. 17, at 7:30 p.m., in the LaSells Stewart Center. According to the Director of Communications in the College of Agricultural Sciences Peg Herring, Reichl’s expertise in the culinary field is a testament to Oregon’s reputation for leading the nation in food culture. “Oregon has over 220 different crops as well as the finest wineries, breweries, seafood and meat, and OSU’s programs have won along with the state’s food distinction,” Herring said. “Ruth being here recognizes that prominence.” Reichl began her career as a restaurant critic and food editor for the Los Angeles Times from 1984. She then moved on to become a restaurant critic for the New York Times from 1993 to 1999, leading her to become the Editor-in-Chief of Gourmet Magazine for 10 years until its closing. Most recognizable as a writer and editor, Reichl is the author of several bestselling memoirs including Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table and Comfort Me with Apples. Her third memoir, Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise, is set to become a full-length movie for Fox 2000 films. Currently working as an editor-at-large for Random House, Reichl’s fifth memoir, My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes that Saved my Life was released on Sept. 29, 2015. Reichl’s experience and expertise with cooking is what drew the
Provost Lecture Series to select her as speaker, the Director of University Events Shelly Signs said. “It’s great to have a renowned foodie coming to our campus,” Signs said. “We’re definitely a good culture, and that’s what she is going to be speaking about.” Reichl’s expertise appeals to OSU’s agriculture and science programs as well, and her lecture will benefit students studying in these fields, Signs said. “There are several different avenues of engagement in Reichl’s lecture,” Signs said. “If you are a student here, whether you are studying food science or the best practices for growing, Reichl’s lecture will provide firsthand experience with food practices.” According to Professor of Crop and Soil Science Andrew Ross, although Reichl’s lecture will attract students studying agriculture and food science, it is open to the public and will appeal also to those who are just looking for entertainment and an interesting account of a world renowned author and food critic’s life. “She has an amazing career and a fascination with food all over the world,” Ross said. “She has the potential to capture it in really interesting ways.” Reichl’s lecture will not only include talk of her culinary expertise, but also stories from her time as a critic and editor, Signs said. “She’s a really good story teller. When I heard her speak last October, she told stories as her time as a food critic, and having to eat at restaurants in disguise so they didn’t know she was critiquing the food,” Signs said. “You need to come and experience this in person because you won’t have the opportunity to later.” More information about the lecture can be found on the Provost Lecture Contributed courtesy of the osu foundation Series’ webpage.

Where are they now? By Josh Worden Senior Beat Reporter
Obum Gwacham Football wide receiver and defensive end, 2010-2014
Justin Quinn | THE DAILY BAROMETER ARCHIVES
Former defensive end Obum Gwacham powers through the leverage blocking sled during practice in August of 2014. He now plays for the New Orleans Saints.
At OSU: Gwacham was a wide receiver his first four years at OSU before switching to defensive end in 2014. He had four sacks and a forced fumble that year while earning Pac-12 All-Academic First Team honors.
Now: The 24-year-old just wrapped up his rookie season in the NFL, recording 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He was picked up by the New Orleans Saints a day after the Seattle Seahawks, who selected him in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, cut him in September. “The hardest part was having to live out of two or three bags for a couple months,” he said. “(Seattle) letting me go and having to pack everything up and leave for New Orleans within 24 hours definitely changed things up.” Gwacham didn’t buy a car or house in Seattle until he knew he would be there long-term, a choice that fortunately “paid off.” Now he lives 15 minutes from downtown New Orleans and plays with former OSU teammate Brandin Cooks.
“He was one of the first guys I saw as soon as I got down there,” Gwacham said of the Biletnikoff-Award winning wide receiver. “He’s still the same goofy guy.” This offseason, Gwacham plans to train in Portland and Indianapolis while also taking some time off for a weekend in Cancun with fellow exOSU players Joshua Andrews and Devon Kell. He only has one year under his belt in the NFL, but Gwacham already has plenty of foresight for his personal future. He’s still single but already acts like a family man. “To be honest, I am playing for my kids that I don’t have yet and for my family,” he said. “I want to make sure they’ll be proud of me and I can take care of them one day.”

Seniors must step up
By Michael Kiever Sports Reporter
Coming off an unexpectedly successful 2014-2015 campaign, Oregon State men’s basketball entered this season with a fair amount of hype. After all, star senior guard Gary Payton II decided to return for his senior season, and the 2015 recruiting class was one of the most highly touted groups that the program has ever seen. With Payton II at the helm and newly infused talent, many were excited to see what head coach Wayne Tinkle could do with a few more weapons at his disposal. Now past the midpoint of the season, the Beavers (15-9, 6-7) have had their fair share of up-and-down performances. OSU’s dominating first Pac-12 victory over Oregon started the season off well, and the Beavers’ recently strung together a three-game winning streak over solid opponents in Utah, Colorado and Stanford. While the team has found recent success, there are some areas for concern if
the team hopes to reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1990. Namely, rebounding and scoring have been the biggest issues. OSU ranks dead last and 11th in the Pac-12 in those two categories, respectively. The deficiencies in rebounding and scoring largely stem from the lack of production from the veteran players. While Payton II’s improved play will likely put him in the conversation for Pac-12 player of the year, the same cannot be said about his peers. Seniors Daniel Gomis, Langston Morris-Walker, Jarmal Reid, Olaf Schaftenaar and junior guard Malcolm Duvivier have all seen statistical dropoffs in scoring from last year. There have been less minutes to go around with the team having added depth, but the freshmen are still far from complete players. In theory, they should have the luxury of playing and growing behind their older teammates. However, the seniors’ on-court production has been less than stellar, forcing the freshmen into additional playing time. Particularly, Duvivier and Morris-Walker have not played up to expectations. The duo both began the season as starters, but Morris-Walker has already been replaced in favor of freshman forward Tres Tinkle. Freshman guard Stephen Thompson Jr. has also made a case to replace Duvivier in
the starting lineup with his recent string of big games. It is no wonder why MorrisWalker and Duvivier have seen their minutes dwindle, as both are shooting under 40 percent from the field and under 63 percent from the free throw line. The veterans have struggled to make much of an impact in rebounding as well. Big man Gomis and junior center Cheikh N’Diaye have barely been able to see the floor, and when they do finally see the light of day, the fouls mount up quickly, forcing them back onto the bench. Rebounding should not be an overlooked statistic for the Beavers. In OSU’s five of six Pac-12 victories, they either tied or outrebounded their opponents, and in all seven of their Pac-12 losses, the Beavers were outrebounded. Point guard Payton II is currently the team’s leading rebounder with 7.7 boards per game, which is more than key rotational frontcourt members Reid and Schaftenaar rebound per game combined. Having a point guard that rebounds as much as Payton II has helped keep the Beavers afloat so far, but his efforts alone may not be enough to take the Beavers to the NCAA tournament. The seniors need to find a way to step up their game to give OSU a fighting chance. On Twitter @michaelkievaaa

Take time while dating in college
By Iraiza de Vera Forum Contributor
Sex has become an expectation included in the “college experience” students crave. Instead of looking forward to learning in their classes, students are fantasizing about their weekend plans and dirty desires. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t guilty of daydreaming but I wonder if this has become a condition for most college students. People are so susceptible to the social pressure on campus that it drives their motives. As more
people complain about not “getting any,” the more sex is on people’s minds. One may think: “Should I be hooking up with someone tonight? Oh, I know! I can call (insert name here), they are definitely DTF.” Being “DTF” is suddenly an important criterion in deciding whether to hang out with someone or not. Before I formally went out with one guy who was interested in me, he wanted to arrange a date to have sex with him. I sarcastically replied, “How do you know we’ll like each other enough to do that?” “Oh, so you’re more emotional than sexual, huh? ;)” he responded. Barf. This kid knew nothing about me, but he was willing to have sex and had the audacity to make an assumption about my preferences. Not only is he assuming things about me, but he is also assuming emotions and sexuality are mutually exclusive. The most astonishing part of this interaction was the fact that
he probably is not the only one who thinks that. It made me wonder if it was common for other people to have similar beliefs. After eavesdropping on more first-year students, I realized people are afraid of emotions. People shy away from situations that put them in a place of vulnerability. As if wanting an emotional connection to the person you’re having sex with is seen as being needy. But have you ever had empty sex? It sucks. So why are college students so eager to have sub par sexual intercourse? Why do people care more about pleasing their sexual needs before their emotional ones? Emotional wellness is a part of health that college students tend to overlook. Drinking and doing drugs seems more appealing than forming intimate interpersonal relationships. They avoid emotional investment because they would rather indulge in activities that grant immediate satisfaction. College is a difficult transitional time for everyone and has been known to trigger
strong internal conflicts. One in four students have a diagnosable illness, according to research from the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Yet, first-year students tend to neglect their emotional health and prioritize temporarily pleasing activities such as drinking alcohol, doing drugs and having mindless sex. I’m not anyone’s parent nor am I a professional, but I will offer advice as a peer. Mental health is arguably the most important thing in life. Making time to keep your psyche balanced should be a bigger priority than some students choose to acknowledge. College should be about finding that balance in your life and figuring out how you define success. Ultimately, do what will improve your mental stability and health, not the nearest person who is “DTF.” The opinions expressed in de Vera’s column do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Barometer staff. baro.forum@oregonstate.edu
Change minds, change worlds By Rachel Suchan Editor-in-Chief
Ok, it’s time to talk about that big scary word that makes ever yone cringe—Feminism. Unfortunately, the images that come to mind when most people think of this word are not pleasant ones. Man haters, radicalists, lesbians, or just generally pissy PMSing angry women looking to start fights with any man that crosses their path. This reputation for bitter aggression has caused countless influential women to turn from the label and its cause. I get it, who wants
to identify with a group that makes everyone cringe? But the reality is, 90 percent of the people reading this column are feminists—whether you want to admit it or not. Here’s why: Feminism: the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. That’s it! Want to know if you’re a feminist? Do you believe that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities? Congratulations! You’re a feminist! I have heard several opinions that what is wrong with feminism is that feminists like to complain about issues without posing any real solutions, and are therefore unproductive and just flat out annoying.

Nigel Poor in the Fairbanks Gallery
Brian nguyen | THE DAILY BAROMETER
Nigel Poor, associate professor of photography at California State University, has a collection of artwork titled, “The San Quentin Report Archive Project” on display in OSU’s Fairbanks Gallery until March 1. The top left image is an inkjet print, taken at the prison on Mother’s Day in 1976. The rest are photographs that were used in Poor’s first collaboration with the men at the prison. Inmates were instructed to observe the images, then were given the freedom to write their thoughts on them.
