Ray talks student success

Brian Nguyen | THE DAILY BAROMETER

Ed Ray spoke at the annual “State of the University Address” last Friday in Portland, discussing future student success initiatives and an update on OSU.

OSU President Ed Ray discusses the future of the university By Riley Youngman News Reporter

Speaking in front of over 700 students, business professionals, alumni and community members last Friday in Portland, Oregon State University President Ed Ray gave his annual “State of the University Address.” Student success was at the forefront of Ray’s vision for the future of OSU, and several initiatives and goals for the next four years were carefully laid out and explained. Ray also provided an update on all that OSU had accomplished in the last year. “Today’s address is also a call to action,” Ray said beginning his speech. Ray has pledged that by 2020, Oregon State University will raise its first-year retention rate for all students from the current 83.8 percent to 90 percent. In addition to this, Ray has also stated that the university is aiming for the six-

year graduation rate to increase from the now 63.1 percent to 70 percent for all students. Ray also touched on the subject of student debt, saying that this is a burden that needs to be reformed. According to Ray, OSU has downloaded 11 years of academic data, for 80,000 students, and will perform predictive analytics, using the data to identify paths that succeed and paths that fail to get a sense of what has and what has not worked for students. This information will then be used to provide students with the most efficient paths possible through OSU, leading to the least amount of debt. “The better the information you have, the better choices you are going to make, the faster you are going to get done, the better your education, the less debt you’ll have,” Ray said. The average Oregon resident undergraduate has an unmet annual need at OSU of $7,256, leading to debt.

Ray also recapped the numerous successes that OSU has had in the last year. According to the university, enrollment online, at the OSU Cascades Campus and at the Corvallis campus exceeded 30,000 for the second year in a row. In the last year, OSU faculty has conducted $309 million in research, which equates to almost double the combined total of Oregon’s six other public universities. According to Ray, last fall, more than 41 percent of the entering freshman class has a high school GPA of 3.75 or greater. Ray hopes that as years go on, OSU will become the top school of choice for Oregon’s most accomplished students. In 2015, the OSU Foundation raised $130.8 million in donor gifts to the university, the largest fundraising year in history Ray said. Ray also talked about OSU’s Marine Studies Initiative,

Arrest made in parking garage break-ins OSP catch one suspect in car thefts on campus By Sarah Weaver News Contributor

Ed Ray

An arrest has been made in connection to a string of car break-ins at the Reser Stadium parking garage on the Oregon State University campus going back to late January. Oregon State Police are not releasing the name of the suspect. Stretching back to week three, the break-ins have been happening during the evening hours and most commonly been occurring in the parts of the garage where there

is less foot traffic. The suspect had stolen valuables including basketball shoes, clothes and money. On Jan. 22, sophomore computer science major Jacob Royer came back to the garage after studying for a midterm and found his car’s left window had been shattered. Nothing was stolen from his car. That same night, he saw another student in the garage report a break-in. “When I was there, there was some kid a few spots down who had his car broken into at the same time,” Royer said. Royer and other OSU students said they have stopped parking in

Continued from page 1 including plans to build a new “worldclass” research and academic building in Newport. A $20 million anonymous donation has been made towards the project, with $24.8 million more being provided by the Legislature through state bonds. According to Ray, by 2025 up to 500 students will be in Newport engaged in marine studies, with 700 more in Corvallis doing the same. “This will provide $71 million in vital annual economic stimulus to coastal communities whose economies have struggled for many decades,” Ray said. “Over the next decade, the statewide cumulative economic impact of this initiative will exceed $280.” Oregon State University’s College of Forestry will open the $60-70 million Oregon Forest Science Complex in Corvallis to accelerate the Ray announced that OSU and 10 other major public research universities have come together to create the “University Innovation Alliance” that will aim to increase undergraduate enrollment for Pell-eligible students, raise retention and graduation rates for all students and eliminate achievement gaps for low-income students, students of color and first-generation students.

Criminal Mischief A man and his wife were sitting inside their home at the kitchen table when one of the windows shattered. The husband thought that something exploded inside of the home after the window shattered. The police officer discovered a 14x14 piece of plywood beneath the broken window.

Harassment/Resisting Arrest A woman said she was confronted by a woman who pushed her in the face causes herself to stumble backwards. The woman was later identified and confronted by police officers. She became combative and began kicking and pushing police officers. The woman attempted to kick the police officers.

The officers then ‘escorted her to the ground.’ Then a man with her then also confronted the officers and was ultimately ‘escorted to the ground’ as well. Harassment A woman said she was confronted at a park. A woman was threatening her verbally and physically. She said she first made contact with the woman at a small restaurant.

Members of the alliance include Arizona State University, Michigan State University, The University of Texas at Austin, University of Kansas, Purdue University and Ohio State University, as well as others. “I am committed to doing what’s right to address the inequality in higher education and to better ensure the success of all people now… and in the future,” Ray said, speaking on diversity and inclusion. Ray called for improvement in how OSU serves students of diverse backgrounds. Speaking on graduate students, Ray noted that those students with the highest amount of debt are often seeking graduate and doctoral degrees, then called the achievement gap in this demographic shameful. “Higher education in America is deepening the divide between the haves and have nots, and this chasm is tearing at the fabric of society and undermining our democracy,” Ray said. Ray affirmed that he is 100 percent committed to student success, and that he will not walk away from his job without one more effort to significantly - and successfully - increase student success. “We will provide every member of our university community a culture of equity, inclusion and social justice … within which everyone can flourish,” Ray said. “And I mean everyone.” baro.news@oregonstate.edu

from a good distance away. In response, the DPS and OSP have enlisted a bike patrol to check on the garage at night.

The Department of Public Safety has advised OSU students, staff, and faculty to not leave valuable items in their cars, even if they lock them. According to Senior Trooper Huff Meyr of OSP, it’s difficult to make these arrests because break-ins typically occur at night when the garage is at its quietest and potential suspects can hear police cars

GREENVILLE, S.C.—Clergyman Tim Squire says Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas “got me off the fence and off the sofa” with his fiery opposition to abortion and determination to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood. “Someone has to speak up for the voiceless,” Squire, a Charleston County resident, said Tuesday at a Cruz rally in Mount Pleasant, S.C. “America has been involved in an abortion holocaust since 1973, and Ted Cruz wants to turn that around.” Just what the Cruz campaign wants to hear in the Palmetto State. The Texas senator has been the most aggressive of the remaining six GOP presidential contenders in courting South Carolina’s conservative evangelical voters, who account for 51 percent of the likely voters in Saturday’s primary. “Cruz is having to make an extra-aggressive play to try to get them off of their tendency in South Carolina, which is to spread out their vote to whomever they like, and get them behind him as the ‘Christian can-

didate’ or ‘evangelical candidate,’” said Scott Huffmon, a political science professor at Winthrop University who is director of the campus’ polling initiative. Buoyed by the evangelical support that helped power his victory in the Iowa caucuses, Cruz hit South Carolina confident that his stances against abortion and Planned Parenthood, and his belief that only persecuted Christian Syrian refugees, not Muslims, should be allowed to resettle in the U.S., would help him win over the state’s religious voters. Only one problem: Donald Trump. “He’s doing better among blue-collar and less-educated evangelicals, and probably, also, among those who are a little bit less connected to their religious institutions and communities,” said James Guth, a political science professor at South Carolina’s Furman University who is co-editor of “The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Politics.”

Civil War in Eugene NCAA Tournament hopes still alive as Beavers face Oregon By Josh Worden Senior Beat Reporter

A lot has happened since Oregon State and Oregon first matched up on Jan. 3. OSU won that game in Corvallis 70-57, but it has been the Ducks who have leapt to the top of the Pac-12 standings by going 9-3 since then. OSU is 6-7 in conference with three wins of their last four, while Oregon lost both games last week at California and Stanford. Still, Oregon heads into Saturday’s 7 p.m. Civil War game in Eugene while ranked No. 16 in the nation with a 15-0 record in Matthew Knight Arena this season. “People are trying to say they tripped up last week,” said head coach Wayne Tinkle. “Well, they played arguably one of the best home teams in the conference — Cal. And they drew Stanford after that, who were reeling after a tough loss to us. So it’s tough on the road, no matter how talented you are. You can get beat when you’re not at your best.” Though the Ducks have lost two straight, they are still 6-2 in the last month and three of their six losses this year were by four points or less. Still, that doesn’t worry the Beavers, whose win over Oregon in January ended a four-game winning streak for the Ducks. “They were playing hot right before they played us, too, last time,” said senior guard Langston Morris-Walker. “But they’re a great team. Coach Altman does a great job with their guys, but I like our chances on Saturday.”

Gomis Out, Payton II bruised

Senior forward Daniel Gomis has been ruled out for Saturday’s game and possibly longer, according to coach Tinkle. Gomis has missed the last four games with a stress fracture in his right shin and missed time earlier in the year with a broken hand. “We don’t anticipate getting him back anytime soon,” Tinkle said. Tinkle added that the rest of the team is generally healthy despite a few “nicks” here and there. Senior guard Gary Payton II, for example, is wearing a shooting sleeve on his left arm due to a bone bruise he sustained in last week’s Stanford game while attempting to block a fast break dunk attempt.

“I just tried to block his shot, and he dunked it quick,” Payton II said. “I hit my whole elbow on the backboard. I’ll never do that again.” He’ll wear the shooting sleeve until it stops hurting, which he estimates will take a couple weeks. When he plays, though, the pain level is only a “discomfort.”

Bracketology

NCAA Tournament expectations for the Pac-12 are becoming clearer as the season enters the home stretch. OSU, with five games remaining before the conference tournament, is right on the bubble of making the field of 68 teams come March. This week, USA Today and CBS Sports put OSU as a No. 8 seed, while ESPN had OSU in the top eight teams just outside the bracket. “It’s there for us to take it, we’ve just got to buckle down and fight,” Payton II said. “I just want to win all the games,” MorrisWalker said. “I don’t know how many games we have to win or what our placing will be in the NCAA Tournament. I try to stay away from that. But I know the more games we win, the more likely we are to get in, and I know we’re right on the bubble.”

Brooms at the Ready

When the Beavers face the Ducks on Saturday, they will be attempting to complete a Civil War sweep for the first time in six years. In the first Civil War game this season, Gill Coliseum’s first sellout crowd since 2012 witnessed OSU take down Oregon, 70-57, with freshman forward Tres Tinkle’s 19 points leading five Beavers in double figures. The Ducks never held a lead in that game and trailed by as much as 18 in the second half. Sophomore forward Dillon Brooks, who currently leads Oregon with 17.2 points per game, shot 4-of-11 from the field and 1-for5 on 3-pointers, totaling 13 points. “He’s a good player and we just hope to be able to stop him (on Saturday) the way we did last time,” Morris-Walker said. OSU will have to travel to Eugene for this Civil War, though the Beavers did win their first road Pac-12 game of the year a week ago versus Stanford. Still, OSU is just 2-13 in Pac-12 games away from Corvallis under coach Tinkle. “This is another big rivalry game,” Tres said. “(We) treat it like a home game just because it’s up in the air for anybody.” On Twitter @BrightTies

was out there making defensive stops, making key plays for my team to help them win. That’s all I can do.” “There’s going to be days where stuff is not going your way, so no matter what you have to go out there and make a contribution to your team.” Last season was different, when Duvivier was OSU’s second leading scorer at 10.7 points per game. But with five freshmen getting playing time this year, Duvivier is scoring 6.4 points per contest and his 11 points versus Stanford last week is his only Pac-12 game this year with double digit scoring. “Malcolm has always had a career of ups and downs since he’s been here,” said senior guard Langston Morris-Walker, who has been in the program even before Duvivier arrived in Corvallis. “I think he’s doing a good job at doing his role as good as he can and staying positive. He’s really helping people, he’s really helping the freshmen and that’s a credit to him.” “We’re just so deep this year, everybody’s role is changing,” added freshman forward Tres Tinkle. “It’s someone else’s night every single night. He had a great game against Stanford, and we can get that out of him every single time.” This year, Duvivier doesn’t try to elevate himself to a level outside of his role. He simply calls himself “that fifth guy that gels everyone together,” which may be as critical of a position as any other. He has to bridge the gap between the five seniors and five freshmen who are playing this year, organizing the offense and spearheading the defense. In OSU’s defensive zone, Duvivier will have to secure the perimeter Saturday against Oregon’s talented athletes like Tyler Dorsey and leading scorer Dillon Brooks. And when OSU has the ball Saturday, he’s content to take shots when they come, facilitating and not forcing the issue. Maybe he’ll score 18 points again, or maybe he’ll go scoreless. But either way, Duvivier could be a catalyst for the Beavers’ success or failure in the Civil War.

By Josh Worden Senior Beat Reporter

When Oregon State takes the floor in Matthew Knight Arena at 7 p.m. Saturday for the 346th Civil War, Malcolm Duvivier won’t be expected to lead OSU in scoring. He might not even score at all — the junior guard didn’t have a single point in the first game against Oregon this year, a 70-57 win. But that won’t decide how effective Duvivier is. In fact, scoring is the least of his worries right now. “Me, I’m the type of guy that just does whatever we have to do to win,” Duvivier said this week, days before his seventh Civil War. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder from Toronto describes himself as “mainly a defensive player,” though he has offensive flair, winning the team’s preseason dunk contest his freshman and sophomore years. In his history of Civil Wars, however, Duvivier has been especially quiet offensively. In three of his six games against Oregon, he has gone scoreless. He’s committed 10 turnovers while going 2-for-11 from 3-point range, but he also had a career game in Gill Coliseum last year, posting 18 points with three assists and three steals as OSU nearly upset Oregon in a 65-62 loss. He hasn’t scored 18 points in the 25 games since. But, Duvivier’s scoring totals are not what decides the team’s overall success. When the Beavers snapped a four-game losing streak to Oregon on Jan. 3 this year, Duvivier went 0-for-2 from the floor in 24 minutes and did not get to the free throw line. He wasn’t happy with parts of his offensive performance, but the fact that he had no points in the win didn’t bother him. “I was kinda frustrated at myself because I missed shots that I usually make, so from that aspect I was frustrated,” he said. “But as a whole, it was a team effort. I was happy. I

Beavers play last home games OSU will play USC and UCLA to finish four-game homestand

By Jonathan Parrish Sports Reporter

No. 7 Again

The Associated Press Poll gave the Oregon State women’s basketball team a No.7 ranking Monday, one spot up from being No. 8 last week. The ranking matches the highest in the program’s history. As the season winds down, the NCAA Selection Committee begins to arrange teams in seeding for the fast-approaching NCAA tournament. The selection committee tagged the Beavers as the No. 7 team in its second top-10 release of the year.

Taking Care of the Rock

OSU is fresh off winning the first half of a four-game homestand that will mark the Beaver’s last regular season games at Gill Coliseum. One factor that played a significant role in OSU’s two wins against Colorado and Utah was the play of junior point guard Sydney Wiese. In the Beaver’s 73-50 victory against the Buffaloes, Wiese posted eight assists. In the 72-53 win against the Utes, Wiese did two better, going for 10. In that two-game stretch, she only committed three turnovers, giving her a phenomenal 6-to-1 assistturnover ratio in the weekend sweep. Head coach Scott Rueck raved about Wiese’s performances against the mountain schools, impressed with her ability to facilitate the offense while making few mistakes. “She set the tone, I felt, for our weekend,” Rueck said following the Utah win. “It was taking care of the basketball and her teammates were the recipients of a lot of good

looks because of it.” Limiting mistakes will be critical for the Beavers’ upcoming matchups against USC on Friday and UCLA on Sunday. When OSU went on the road against the two teams earlier in the season, the Beavers averaged 20.5 turnovers per game that weekend, committing a season-high 26 in a 71-51 loss to the Bruins. “I look at that weekend as an aberration in a way,” Rueck said. “Not to take anything away from what UCLA did to us, but at the same time we’re completely different, and having experience back at the one is completely different. Freshman guard Katie McWilliams, who started in place of the then-injured Wiese, committing seven turnovers in the first matchup with the Bruins, knows how important the UCLA game is. “We’re going have to play super well,” McWilliams said. “We have to come out right away because I know when we played them last time we didn’t come out strong.” “We need to play our game and hopefully come out with

a win,” she said.

400

Rueck, with Sunday’s win against Utah, reached his win No. 400 for his coaching career. Before coaching for OSU, he coached the George Fox’s women’s basketball team for 14 years, where he compiled a total of 288 wins. In 2009, he won a national championship at the Division III level with a perfect 32-0 record, being named national coach of the year as well. For the Beavers, the Utah game was Rueck’s 112th overall win, and 57th Pac-12 victory. In total, Rueck has a 71.2 win percentage in his career. “It’s great to see coach get his 400th win,” senior forward Deven Hunter said. “He’s a great coach and knows how to win, clearly, so it’s a good to see that, and it helps the program.” Rueck and the rest of the team can go for their 13th and 14th-straight wins this weekend, which if accomplished, would tie the program’s longest winning streak since it was done in the 1982-

I was never a huge fan of baccalaureate requirements. Extra math classes, extra science classes and other core requirements outside of our true passions should be the last thing we focus on, correct? I wouldn’t say so. Though often frowned upon, the addition of other requirements to my credit count (so long as they’re not too obscure) has benefited me in more ways than it has restricted me. When I first returned to school at LinnBenton Community College, I didn’t see much sense in having to take so many extra credits outside of writing and journalism, my first major of choice. But as I began to explore other classes and topics, I started to understand reasons why this was important.

The subject of gun control has been a hot-button issue sure to flare the passions of people on both sides of the argument. But no matter what your personal belief about guns happens to be, I think we can all agree that they’re not going away anytime soon. Since they are potentially deadly weapons, it is extremely important that people understand how to operate one of these weapons safely, even if you never plan on owning a gun. Before Tuesday, Feb. 16, I had never even held a gun, much less fired one. However, since I knew it’s something I was bound to see sometime in my life, I decided that it would be smart to learn how to operate one. I figured that if I were ever in a situation in which I’d need to use one, I could at least know how to fire it in the least dangerous way possible to myself and those around me. Luckily, the Oregon State University Pistol Club offers certification lessons for just $5 and an hour of your time. The club meets every Tuesday and Saturday, with training beginning at 6 p.m. and the range opening between 7 p.m. and 7:30. Jordan Jones, the head coach of the Pistol Team and a staff member of the college of engineering, was the one conducting my training, and said that the Pistol Club’s main goal is to educate students about the importance

of gun safety. “The main thing we want people to take away from this is the safety aspect of it,” said Jones, who has been shooting since his time in the Boy Scouts. “Of course we want people to try it, enjoy it, have fun, but the safety training for firearms is our main goal.” The OSU firing range is limited to .22-caliber pistols. Before the training started, I had to read a short booklet outlining the important rules of handling a .22 pistol (though the rules apply to any gun). The first thing I learned, and which was reiterated several times during my training were the three main rules of gun safety: Always point the gun in a safe direction. The gun must be unloaded unless it’s being used, and always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire. I was made to repeat these rules at random times during training until I had memorized them. The next most-important rules were what to do in the case of a cease-fire. Jones said that although a cease-fire is rare, it’s a crucial piece of gunsafety knowledge. Potential reasons for a cease-fire would be any kind of emergency in which it would be essential that everyone stop shooting immediately, like a medical emergency, power outage or natural disaster. If someone calls a cease-fire in the range, everyone must stop shooting, put their pistols on the bench, step away from the guns, and repeat the command to make sure everyone in the range has heard it. After the initial talk about safety features, I was given a quick quiz to make sure I knew the safety features, and then I got to check out one of the pistols. I started out with plastic inert dummy rounds, so I could practice my stance and holding the gun before

there was any actual ammunition in the magazine. Once I had shown that I could successfully load, unload, and fire the pistol, the range was opened and I was given a box of bullets. At first I was apprehensive about firing the pistol, but after a few shots, I got more comfortable, which, as Jones pointed out, is the reason the Pistol Club holds its training sessions. It’s important to note that “among children, the majority of unintentional shooting deaths [...] occur when children are playing with a loaded gun in their parents’ absence,” according to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. This simply stresses how criti-

cal it is that people learn how to safely handle a gun, preferably at as young an age as possible. If you have never fired a gun before, and are willing to give it a shot (pun intended), I highly recommend going through the Pistol Club’s training process. You never know—it could save a life. “Most people are going to come into contact with a gun at some point in their life,” said Jones as he closed up the range at the end of the night. “They should at least know how to be safe with it.” The opinions expressed in Keating’s column do not necessarily reflect those of The Daily Barometer staff. baro.forum@oregonstate.edu

I’ve had many colleagues who took on additional credit requirements toward a writing, psychology or business minors. Think of it this way: Though a majority are under the impression that people further their education just because they “have to,” there are some of us weirdos who experience adding on to our learning experiences. Classes outside of our majors allow us to gain a variety of perspectives. One student who studies nothing but science or mathematics may dread taking an extra communication or sociology course. These course additions, however, could help them either apply their own talents in areas they never though possible before, or improve their overall communication skills for the greater good.

math course requirements), certain bacc core requirements may allow us liberal art students to spice up our degree options with something such as computer science, web development and other technical compliments we could sincerely use in more liberal arts-oriented fields. We often hear the term “STEM” to describe courses in “science, technology, engineering and mathematics” fields, but the term “STEAM”—the A added for “arts”—seems to make a lot more sense when you really think about it. We step into college knowing we’re going to have to pay a set amount of money in terms of where our tuition dollars go. It’s in this agreement and understanding that our bacc core requirements also come into effect. The overall experience helps to mold our programs and time here into what our degree eventually becomes. If we want to graduate as true, versatile critical thinkers, we’re all going to have to step outside of our comfort zones every now and again.

The ‘food movement’ Ruth Reichl gives lecture on the food industry By Taylor Collins Arts & Entertainment Contributor

Ruth Reichl has gone undercover to discover the secrets hidden by the food industry. As a well-known food critic, Reichl noticed that she would have to make herself unrecognizable to be treated like a normal customer. These experiences expanded her knowledge on how restaurants really operate. On Feb. 17, Reichl visited the OSU campus to give the lecture, “American Food Now: How We Became a Nation of Foodies.” Reichl provided insight on the ways that America’s taste has changed and progressed. Throughout her career in food writing, Reichl worked as a critic for the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and served as editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine. Reichl has also published a variety of memoirs, cookbooks and novels. Her most recent is, “My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes That Saved My Life.”

During her talk, Reichl discussed how people are becoming more active in the food movement now in comparison to when she first began her career. “I don’t think there’s ever been a more exciting time in America when it comes to food,” Reichl said. According to Reichl, the food industry is progressing in a positive way by eliminating waste, creating better jobs and fixing the current health issues. “Our food landscape has changed radically in a short amount of time,” Reichl said. Reichl has made contributions to developments in these areas by presenting less commonly talked about issues in her publications. Instead of always promoting restaurants or writing positive reviews, Reichl had the desire to discuss more important topics. She wanted readers to really comprehend where their food is coming from. “It’s important for people to know that many things happening in our food system can be changed,” Reichl said. Reichl stressed the impor-

tance of asking restaurants questions on how they obtain their food. This accountability to the public will encourage better ethical practice on the end of the suppliers. Reichl’s advice is to not be worried about coming off as rude. “I thought she did a really good job at distilling how important food is to the broader culture,” said Ian Johnson, owner of Luc, a restaurant in Corvallis that serves locally sourced cuisine. During the next segment of the lecture, Reichl talked about the impact that food has on people’s relationships and everyday lives. This portion of the discussion focused on the way people are brought together and connected by food. “Her talking about how the people in that community got introduced to their neighbors through food was to me, the most interesting part of the conversation — to start talking about how food connects everybody,” Johnson said. The event also gave people who are not a part of the industry another way of

appreciating food. Rattania Sawspanich, electrical engineer senior, heard about this event from his Food in American Culture class. “I took some notes about it, especially more of the

“There’s a lot of things that we could’ve done better and it is our privilege to make

changes.”

After the event, Reichl gave the audience the opportunity to ask questions and get personal copies of their books signed. baro.arts@oregonstate.edu
