Final Four festivities

OSU club cyclist dies in bike accident By Riley Youngman News Editor

ADAM WOOD | THE DAILY BAROMETER

The Oregon State womenʼs basketball team returned to Corvallis Tuesday, bringing back the Dallas Regional Championship trophy. The team was in good spirits as many laughs and cheers were shared amongst the crowd and players.

Team returns to Corvallis, ready to face UConn in Final Four Matchup By Michael Kiever Sports Reporteer

The OSU women’s basketball team gathered in front of hundreds of fans to celebrate the monumental achievement According to OSU radio announcer Mike Parker, it was one of the greatest days in Oregon State athletic history. And the OSU women’s basketball team showed up late. Fresh off an airplane from Dallas, the OSU women’s basketball arrived back in Corvallis about an hour after hundreds of Beaver fans had gathered in Parker Plaza in front of Reser Stadium to celebrate Oregon State’s first Final Four berth. The Beavers defeated Baylor 60-57 Monday night in the Elite Eight.

The Beavers looked like movie stars as they got off the bus at Parker Plaza, taking in a raucous welcome from the fan base. Fans cheered and waved pictures of the players’ faces as the team took the stage. It was a fitting show of support from a fan base that had the team’s back all year long. “You don’t have to win every game to get support at Oregon State, but when you do, just look around,” head coach Scott Rueck said, pointing out to the crowd and eliciting cheers. “We don’t just do this for us. We understand who we represent and we take that seriously.” Several players had the chance to speak on stage during a surprisingly revealing Q&A session with OSU broadcaster Ron Callan. Senior

guard Jamie Weisner admitted that she slept with the Final Four trophy, and Senior Deven Hunter professed that it was the team’s ultimate dream since her freshmen year to make the Final Four. “It’s not a dream anymore,” Hunter said. “It’s an amazing opportunity to get to play the best team in the country.” As a whole, the rally served as both a tribute to the team as well as a thank you to the fans. OSU recorded an average attendance of 4,356 fans per game at Gill Coliseum, while the teams they faced on the road had an average attendance of 2,421 fans per game. OSU president Ed Ray and

29-year-old Albany resident and Oregon State University graduate student Randall Fox died last Saturday after losing control of his road bicycle while riding downhill and colliding with a guardrail. Fox was competing for the OSU Cycling club team near Auburn, Washington at the University of Washington Omnium when he crashed. According to Steve Clark, the Vice President University Relations and Marketing at OSU, Fox was a Ph.D. student focusing in thermal fluid sciences. “Members of the Oregon State community are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Randall,” Clark said in a statement from the university. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Randall’s wife, members of the cycling team, his friends and his OSU colleagues.” Fox is survived by his wife Leslie Fox, his parents Greg and Judy Fox, in-laws Rosemary and Paul Minner, and his siblings Jana and Brian Fox. “He was at peace and surrounded by his wife, Leslie and immediate family at his passing,” Fox’s family released in a statement. The family has asked for privacy at this time. “He always offered to provide office hours for classes in which he was the graduate teaching assistant,” Fox’s professors said in the statement from the university. “If another faculty member needed anything, Randall was the first to volunteer. He just recently spent all day pulling together calibration equipment for another faculty member’s students.” Sentiments regarding Fox’s kind hearted nature and passion for cycling were echoed by his club teammates as well. One of Fox’s teammates, Rutger Farry, a junior in computer science, met Fox through the club and raced was in the same racing category as him. Farry was behind Fox when the accident occurred. Farry described the incident, saying himself and a competitor from another university saw Fox lose control of his bike and hit his head on the guardrail. Farry and the other racer immediately stopped and ran back up the hill to Fox’s side. According to Farry, Fox and others were trying to catch up to the main group when the crash happened. “There was a car following us, a race car, and there was a ski patrol lady who knew first aid, and another man who called 911,” Farry said. “The hill we were on was really steep.” Those in the car and Farry has been on the Oregon State Cycling club team for the last year, but has not began competitively racing consistently until the last few months. This is the first accident of this kind he has seen or heard of while racing. “How fickle life is,” Farry said. “Randall was a great guy and I was looking forward to many more races with him.” According to his cycling computer and those of his teammates and competitors, Farry estimates that Fox was travelling more than 50 mph at the time of the crash. Farry said Fox was wearing a helmet, as is required by the collegiate rules. Fox was airlifted from the scene of the accident by helicopter, and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. “Holding his hand as the paramedics arrived was the saddest and most power-

Captive’s experience in Iranian prison By Ellie Silverman

Oregon State University parking officials say that the need for more parking spaces on campus is a common misconception and that the zonal parking system and parking enforcement system have a greater impact.

Need for more parking a ‘misconception’ OSU officials say more spaces are not needed By Gaby Mudd News Contributor

Due to the cost of parking spaces, commuters have been parking on campus without permits which limits the spaces for others who have purchased passes. Oregon State University students are encouraged to buy parking passes early, in order to park on campus for spring term. Currently, there are a little over 4,800 commuter spaces and 1,100 resident spaces purchased right now according to Mark Zandoenlla, the parking manager of transportation services at OSU. There are also monthly and metered parking spaces available to students looking to commute to campus. Zandoenlla encouraged students to buy parking passes early on to ensure that they receive a spot. “It assures (commuters) a spot and there is a certain peace of mind knowing you have a spot available to you, it is one less thing to worry about in the morning,” Zandoenlla said. Zandoenlla explained that there is plenty of parking availability readily accessible to students that need

passes and there is not a growing need for the university to create more parking spaces. “It is a common misconception that we need more spaces,” Zandoenlla said. “But the zonal parking system and our parking enforcement system have a greater impact than just making more spaces.” Zandonella also addressed the common misconception that parking services just enforces traffic violations and described why enforcement is important to the parking system. “Enforcement makes sure that students who have paid for a spot have room in their lot to park,” Zandonella said. “If someone who has not purchased a pass parks in any of the lots that require one, they are taking the spot of someone who has paid.” Trinity Whitaker, a freshman in human development and family sciences and preeducation who lives in Finley Hall, spoke to her struggles in purchasing a residential parking pass last term. “I tried to purchase a pass during week eight of winter term, and I was told there was no parking passes available,” Whitaker said. “I was told to park in places that passes were not required on or off

Most of the time it is not about having the accesibility to park on campus, it becomes more about affordability. Isamar Chavez ASOSU Director of Campus Affairs

WASHINGTON—While in solitary confinement in an Iranian prison, Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian journalist who was imprisoned in Iran for 118 days, looked forward to his interrogation sessions. Even if he was being beaten, he explained, at least he wasn’t alone. “In the Quran they say the worst punishment for a person is to put that person in a grave,” said Bahari, filmmaker and author of “Then They Came for Me.” “Sometimes when you’re in solitary confinement, when you’re deprived of all of your senses, when you cannot see anything except for the walls around you, you think that you’re in a grave.” Idaho pastor Saeed Abedini, who was released after more than three years in an Iranian prison, has yet to speak publicly about his ordeal. But what he is likely to have been through as a prisoner until his release in January can be extrapolated from the experience of other prisoners who, like Abedini, were in Iran’s Evin prison. While Evin prison is notorious for mistreatment of political prisoners, few specific details are widely known. Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian journalist arrested in Iran in June 2009 and charged with espionage, said he was warned sharply by his interrogator never to discuss with anyone what happened there. That may be one reason Abedini has remained silent, as have most of the prisoners who were released at the same time: Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, former Marine Amir Hekmati, student Matthew Trevithick and businessman Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari. Still, a detailed picture of life inside Evin can be put together from interviews with former prisoners like Bahari. Solitary confinement was one aspect they all had in common. All were blindfolded whenever they were taken from their cells, according to the Canadian, American and Iranian prisoners who spoke about their experiences. Another key aspect: Each prisoner was assigned to one principal interrogator who exercised authority over virtually every aspect of a prisoner’s life and served as that prisoner’s only contact with the outside world. The Washington Post reported that Rezaian was held in solitary confinement for a prolonged period. Trevithick, in an article in Time magazine, described being blindfolded outside his cell. Roozbeh Mirebrahimi, a spokesman for a human rights monitoring group, Impact Iran, said there’s no reason to think these practices weren’t imposed on all prisoners at Evin. They’ve been in use since Human Rights Watch chronicled them in a 2008 report. Iranian journalist Siamak Ghaderi spent more than a month in solitary confinement. Whenever he had to go to the toilet, leave his cell to go to an interrogation session _ or for any other reason _ he would be blindfolded. He was never allowed to see anything outside of the four walls of his cell. His sentence included 60 lashes, in addition to four years in prison for “propagating against the regime,” “creating public anxiety,” and “spreading falsehoods” for his coverage of gay Iranians and the riots after the 2009 elections. Ghaderi angered officials by interviewing gay Iranians after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the country’s president at the time, asserted there were no gay people in Iran. “They do everything to make the person confess everything,” Ghaderi said. “They do physical torture, such as being blindfolded which is horrible torture for the person. Pushing the head to the toilet bowl, not allowing the person to talk to his lawyer.” The U.S. State Department, in its 2014 report on human rights in Iran, characterized the regimen used by the Tehran government as “white torture,” which it defined as “a type of psychological torture that included extreme sensory deprivation and isolation.” Dr. Allen Keller, the director of a New York City Bellevue Hospital and New York University program for survivors of torture, said that the experiences recounted by the prisoners match his understanding of torture. “Typically torture isn’t just one thing; it’s a lot of things happening _ solitary confinement, blindfolded, repeatedly interrogated, perhaps threatened,” said Keller, an associate professor at New York University School of Medicine. “It’s the sum.” Bahari said guards called his interrogator his “owner.” His interrogator told him he would be present in his nightmares and that he knew all of Bahari’s thoughts. Even the day Bahari was released, his interrogator threatened to bring him back to Iran “in a bag” if he told people what happened inside the prison. Over 16 days in Evin, journalist Dorothy Parvaz had to continually restate her life story to interrogators. She had been held

His untimely and tragic death is heartbreaking, and our thoughts and prayers go out to this family, friends and teammates,” the director of campus affairs, spoke to how parking affordability on campus is sometimes a struggle for some who commute everyday. “From what I have been hearing from students, it seems like there are more spaces available than are being used,” Chavez said. “These students who do not have a parking pass, or cannot afford one, have to park in residential areas which becomes a problem for parking off campus as well.” Chavez explained the complexity behind students being

Second-century Christians summarized their faith in the Apostles’ Creed, and today hundreds of millions celebrated it at Easter. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

As 21st-century faculty and staff at OSU we join with Christians of all ages in proclaiming this ancient faith. Ken Funk, Mech. Ind. & Mfg. Engineering

Continued from page 3 in solitary confinement with no books or paper to occupy her mind. She was kept blindfolded during her daily walk outdoors. She was summoned for interrogation at random hours, Parvaz said, giving her no time to prepare. She remained determined, though, to convince her interrogator that she was not a spy. She kept repeating that she was a journalist for Al-Jazeera. Though disoriented, blindfolded and being yelled at, she still found it easy to remember the truth, she said of her imprisonment. “I know this is a country that sees spying and journalism as largely the same job,” Parvaz said. That makes it “impossible to win an argument.” The interrogator sometimes showed flashes of helpfulness, the prisoners said, in what seemed to be part of the tactic of forcing them to be fully dependent on them. Occasionally, Parvaz’s interrogator would take a break to peel her an orange, she recalled, or ask someone to bring her a bag of hazelnuts. Bahari was prone to migraines, so his interrogator would bang on his head. But perversely, when Bahari complained about a headache, the interrogator would make sure he received medicine, reinforcing the dependency of the relationship. “When you are facing one person, your experience is more personal, and it’s embodied in the shape of a young, strong, fat, big man who has control over you,” Bahari said. He added that it was important to maintain a sense of identity apart from one’s relationship with the interrogator. “He can beat you up whenever he wants to, he can insult you whenever he

wants to,” Bahari said. “That person’s voice is the only voice you’re hearing.” The former prisoners all recounted a difficult time adjusting to normal life after their release, including nightmares, flashbacks and other symptoms of post-traumatic stress. The prisoners released in January likely are enduring a similar adjustment period, said J. Wesley Boyd, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. After traumatic events, people’s stress levels “peak soon after they leave, and over time people are going to feel better,” Boyd said in an interview. “It might take more to startle a person years from now than days after being released. For some people it may be their entire life.” While in prison, Bahari created his own universe inside his head with details from trips around the world, favorite songs and other memories. It was, he said, his escape. Parvaz would sing to herself, do cartwheels, write and rewrite stories in her head that she intended to file once she was released. Josh Fattal, an American hiker who spent 781 days in Evin and was released in 2011, would talk to himself and sing. Sometimes he would hear a knock on a wall from another prisoner. It was a “rare but amazing occurrence” whenever these moments happened, he said. Adjusting to life after prison was a “continual battle,” Fattal said. “Every day is its own struggle,” Fattal said. “There would be periods where I would feel normal for a while, where I had gotten through it and come out stronger _ and then it would come up and hit me again.” McClatchy Washington Bureau

Athletic Director Todd Stansbury both spoke about the monumental achievement of reaching the Final Four. Ray complemented Rueck on rebuilding the program. When Rueck came to OSU six years ago, he inherited a program that was struggling and had not been to the NCAA tournament since 1996. Now, they are in the Final Four. “They built it stronger, they built it better and they built it to make history,” Ray said. Stansbury thanked Beaver Nation for the support over the years and congratulated the team on winning the right way. Not only has the team had great success this year, but seven Beaver players were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic team. “We celebrate the team not just because of the wins, but how they win,” Stansbury said. “Through sport, we can teach things you can’t teach anywhere else.” Senior Ruth Hamblin, who leads the team in rebounding, blocks and free throw percentage, said there are some similarities between OSU and their Final Four matchup, UConn. “UConn is known for their discipline, but so are we,” Hamblin said. “It should be an interesting game.” The Huskies have won three straight NCAA championships, but as Ray pointed out, there is still one team left they have yet to overtake. “(UConn) has beaten just about everyone in the country,” Ray said. “You know who they haven’t beat? The Beavers.”

Where are these guys now? By Josh Warden

Roberto Nelson: OSU basketball guard 2009-2014 At OSU: Nelson finished his career in Corvallis as one of Oregon State’s most prolific scorers in program history. He is OSU’s fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,745 points, tied for third in 3-pointers with 179 and second in free throws with 486. He led the Pac-12 his senior year with 20.7 points per game and scored in double figures 84 times in his career. He played in 124 consecutive games between 2010-2014, scoring 20 or more points 33 times along with 30-plus points in six games. OSU honored him in Feb. 2014 as an Oregon State Everyday Champion. After OSU: Life has moved quickly for Nelson, who played for the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA’s Summer League after graduating. He knew he probably would have to play in the NBA’s Development League if he stayed in America, and playing in Italy appealed to him. Luckily, it “all

when his career ends. He talked in midFebruary with Craig Robinson, whose final year as OSU’s head coach was Nelson’s senior season, and Robinson encouraged Nelson to talk with the Pac-12 Networks about a job or internship. Nelson majored in New Media Communications at OSU, and loves to be behind the camera but also is interested in coaching and plans to get his real estate license. “There’s really just so many things that interest me right now,” Nelson said. “Knowing me, I’ll probably be doing something that nobody thinks I’ll be doing.” He’s a couple years removed from his last game in an OSU uniform, but he still calls himself a “lifelong Beaver” and he loves watching Beaver basketball games from Italy. “It’s crazy, but it’s fun, because now I’m a fan,” Nelson said. “That’s where my heart is, that’s where I went. I had some of my best memories in college. I can see myself out there sometimes, but it’s great to be a fan, sit back and get those sweaty palms when you’re watching and the game gets close.”

years in the NFL and one season in the now-defunct United Football League. He never recorded a catch in his career with the NFL’s Saints, Bears or Seahawks. “When you’re in the league, it’s tough. You don’t really have expectations, you have hopes,” he said. “And I probably didn’t fulfill those as much as I wanted to, but that’s life. You move on.” Hass was intentional about networking in his time in the NFL, which helped set him up with a job at Nike after he finished playing. Before he was hired, though, he spent a gap year to relax in a way he usually couldn’t during football season. “A lot of fishing,” Hass said with a laugh. “Plotting my next step, house searching, just trying to get settled down.”

Hass started with Nike in 2011, combining his Civil Engineering degree from OSU with his love for sports by developing football gloves for college and NFL players. He started a new job this month with Nike, switching from gloves to football cleats. He’ll be in a similar role in the development stages, but just on a different type of gear. Hass, 33, lives in Sherwood and is engaged to be married in June. He and his fiancé, Rebecca, met at Nike. With her, Nike, fishing and more, Hass is settled into his latest stage of life. “I’m just hanging out with the fiancé and enjoying life outside of work, football and everything else,” he said.

At OSU: Rodgers more than made up for his undersized frame as a wide receiver while at OSU, finishing his career with a school-record 222 career catches and 91 receptions in 2009. The 5-foot-7, 188-pounder finished fourth in OSU history with 2,582 career receiving yards and earned First Team All-Pac-10 honors in 2009 while recording 2,328 all-purpose yards, the most in OSU history. Rodgers also scored game-winning touchdowns in consecutive games as a freshman in 2007, both in the Civil War and then the Emerald Bowl. After OSU: Rodgers’ post-collegiate career was hampered by health issues, stemming from a knee injury he sustained at OSU in a 2010 game against Arizona. After his senior year in 2011, Rodgers joined his brother and former OSU star running back Jacquizz Rodgers on the Atlanta Falcons, but two years on the practice squad was all James could muster out of his NFL career. “I don’t think it would have been a problem if I was healthy. I would probably would still be playing right now in the NFL,” Rodgers said. Rodgers enjoyed sharing the experience of playing in the NFL with his brother, but moved on to the Canadian Football League in 2014. He totaled 148 yards and two touchdowns with the Montreal Alouettes his first year and spent 2015 on the practice squad. Especially in 2014, Rodgers’ ability to play in more than just practice for the first time in three years was refreshing. “With the injury that I had, I knew

At OSU: Hass came to OSU from Jesuit High School in Portland as a walk-on. By his senior year, he was the nation’s top receiver. He won the Biletnikoff Award in 2005 as the NCAA’s best wideout, totaling 1,534 yards; every other player in the country was at least 260 yards behind even while Hass and OSU played just 11 games that year, two fewer than most bowl eligible programs.

worked out.” Nelson, who is averaging 11.3 points and 3.7 assists per game so far in his professional career, has played for two different teams in his two years: first in the city of Brescia and then in Trieste. “Ever since our last game (at OSU), everything has blown by super quick,” Nelson said. “Where does time go?” Though Nelson is overseas, he still keeps in touch with his OSU teammates, such as Joe Burton and Eric Moreland. He also remains close friends with Jonathon Hoover, a childhood friend of Nelson’s who still is a student manager with OSU. He also enjoys in his life in Trieste; he spends much of his time traveling between the gym and home, but he has his own car and enjoys the opportunities that living overseas provides. “I’m getting a chance to experience the culture, meet people from a new culture,” Nelson said. “I think that’s the beauty of basketball has been able to bring to me this early in my career. It’s been amazing.” Nelson would like to play professional basketball for as long as possible. His goal is to play for a decade, but he has plans for

it was going to be a little hard the first two years in Atlanta. I went to Canada, and the first year I was there I loved it,” he said. “I was able to actually play, which is something I didn’t have a chance to do for a while. I actually felt good.” He didn’t get playing time in 2015, but has made huge strides health-wise recently. It has been a process trusting his leg ever since the injury in 2010, but this year has been markedly different. “This is probably the first year that I’ve actually felt great, as far as playing football-wise,” Rodgers said. “If somebody was to overthrow me a ball, I had the ability this year to kick into extra gear and get the ball. And when that happened, I kinda surprised myself. I was like, ‘dang, okay, you can do that?’” Rodgers isn’t sure where his football career will take him, possibly heading back to the CFL or trying out the freshly minted Major League Football but overall just hoping to “ride the whole football thing out” as long as he can. Once football is over, he’d like to try his hand at coaching. He currently lives in his hometown of Richmond, Tex., while spending time occasionally in Oregon and keeping it “low key” in the offseason, mostly spending his time working out, playing the occasional pickup basketball game and relaxing at home. In the meantime, he’ll take pride in his brother’s success; after spending four years with the Falcons, Jacquizz played for the Chicago Bears this season. “I love it. That’s my little brother, the one I grew up with,” James said. “Just to be able to watch him play on the NFL level, competing at a high level, I love it.”

Make politics less about image it?

By Sean Bassinger Forum editor

e have a serious problem in U.S. politics right now, among other things. As the primary election season continues, the Democratic and Republican parties continue to see support for two seemingly unlikely candidates: We have Senator Bernie Sanders in the blue corner and real estate loudmouth Donald Trump in the red. In addition, we have another funny little occurrence taking place with what we call “superdelegates”: Hillary Clinton continues to maintain her lead on the Democrat side with the assistance of an additional 400+ superdelegates, which could switch candidates when the Democratic Primary Convention roles around this summer. The superdelegate system—regardless of who comes out with more pledged delegates from popular votes—could still keep Sanders shut out. Hopefully it won’t if he receives a fair win, but this is still a possibility. On the other side we have the Republicans struggling with the opposite: Trump continues to win popular votes in primaries and caucuses across the country, and there are no superdelegates to swing the vote either way. This all changed after the RNC decided to remove their superdelegate system when Mitt Romney turned out to be such a dud candidate for the party. He just wasn’t controversial enough image-wise.

Sure seemed to work out well, didn’t

And there’s the problem—it’s all about image. We say we want candidates who are about “the issues,” but what does this even mean anymore? Do we want a president who’s good at talking about “solving” these socalled “issues” when we’re angry, or a president who works to actually lead? Trump, for instance, he has the “best” people and the “best” words. Apparently he’s his own expert on foreign policy, which he said during an infamous interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Glad to hear, Don—I feel the same way about my consultation expert for “best breakfast cereals” and “best sandwiches to eat after 11 a.m.” There’s nobody better for the job than me. Well, maybe a local sandwich artist at some deli, but screw that. I have me. See the problem here? The man excels at talking about himself more than anybody else, but the majority of his voters don’t care. They’re getting exactly what they want because he doesn’t talk in circles like other politicians. It doesn’t matter what he says because many voters on the right hear word patterns much different than they’re used to, which is more than enough to sway them. So yeah, in that regard, Trump most certainly has the “best” words—they’re just not the most helpful or intelligent. As for Sanders, we see other image problems costing him votes, because if Hillary excels at anything, it’s image. Many of her current platforms weren’t even focused on until the Sanders campaign went from the status of “hah, seriously” to “oh wait … this guy could make waves.” Second, it’s less about Sanders being a terrible candidate and more about him turning out to be “not good enough.” He still appears to be the best can-

didate for the wants and needs of the working class, but this doesn’t matter in the eyes of some voters—he’s not “perfect.” Therefore, if he appears flawed by any stretch of the imagination, he loses a vote. It’s not that the man himself is unelectable, but rather this golden image his so-called “fans” have cast upon him can be taken away with very little pressure from the mass media. How dare he only tip 15 percent at a coffee shop (he and his party supposedly only purchased snacks, though TMZ felt it essential to report regardless). How dare he say white people don’t know “what it’s like to be poor” (he was quoting a black woman who told him a story, though this was easily taken out of context after CNN posted footage of a video clip that highlighted the “poor

Reach out, connect with college advisers If a bit of their good nature rubbed off on you, they succeeded at their job.

’m in my final term of my undergraduate studies. Seeing clearly in hindsight, I can honestly state it was not thanks to some sort of witchcraft or sheer luck that cultivated my success. I made it this far in my college career due to the constant dialogue I had with my academic adviser. For those who laugh and coyly admit that they have never had any sort of formal relationship between themselves and their advisers will ultimately regret this slip up in the long run. You will never know the untapped potential you can channel if you refuse to actively self-prescribe set meeting times with your designated adviser. However, not all pro-staff members are cut out for their position. Some many scoff at your dreams, trample over your ingenious ideas, and shatter your thought of ever possibly graduating. Beware of community college advising staff, they are notorious

for their lack of care or attention to your specialized issues; but lucky for us, we are granted a generally fair bunch of knowledgeable minds who feed our needs instead of breaking our moral. If push comes to shove and you and your academic advisers are not connecting with you on a level you have hoped for, there is no room for fret. Advise the head of the college in which you belong to and seek out other advisers and/or alternatives for your given situation. Realize, though, that not all advisers are created equal. A chemical engineering adviser will not necessarily be the best fit for an English major to seek out help from. Find someone who speaks your “academic language”. Someone you can see a bit of yourself in, because years down the line, look at yourself in the mirror: If a bit of their good nature rubbed off on you, they succeeded at their job. It was not until Oregon State University, when I realized what effective advising was. Know

that your adviser is not only limited to you, but to a plethora of other students. Be considerate of their time and come in with key points you desperately need to touch on. But also look out for qualities you admire in that adviser. Will they sit with you and talk about your personal life and how it can effectively influence your life path? Will they simply sit in their office and hear you rant about a terrible class? Or do they have all of the facts and figures with no general care toward you as a person? These are traits to either praise or be wary of. We all need constant assurance we are doing the right thing by seeking out a college degree … do not be afraid to open your door, step outside, and seek a little guidance from someone who can unleash every given possibility in your life. The opinions expressed in Lyon’s column do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Barometer staff. baro.forum@oregonstate.edu

white people” part). Never mind his civil rights involvement, endorsements and the size of his campaign rallys … but the moment a bird lands on his lectern it becomes an instant media-worthy sensation. So here’s the problem and here’s what we might need to do to remedy this: We need to understand that the political representatives we allow (yes, we did this at some point) to be in office affect more of our day-to-day lives than we realize. We cannot let the two-party system dictate every last aspect of our lives and then only become more interested when a reality TV star (Trump) and common household name in politics (Clinton) runs for office. Get out and vote. Hold your representatives—local,

county, state and national—accountable for their actions. When they say they’re going to do something and then do not, vote them out of office. If Sanders wins the presidential bid, get out there and continue to find ways to make our politics work for all of us again. If he does not win, get out there and find other ways to figure out how we can fix this. One thing’s for certain: If all goes as it should, the conversations will only continue as we get closer to a better resolution. In the end, we’ll only get the candidate we deserve. This could be excellent—or horrific. The opinions expressed in Bassinger’s column do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Barometer staff. baro.forum@oregonstate.edu

Tuition hikes uncalled for, reconsider admin salaries Letter to the editor It seems as though Oregon State University’s administration, financial decision makers, and board of trustees have no problem pushing forward a tuition hike. While this has been pushed a few times in the Daily Barometer, and I suppose advertised through “Orange Media,” it also seems that the timing for meetings and proposals always corresponds with the busiest or most hectic parts of the term.

to procure jobs in a market saturated by tens of thousands (residents and students) willing to work, and tens of thousands (residents and students) more who desperately need the jobs they have to keep their heads above water.

There does not need to be an increase in tuition when so many administrators are making absurdly high salaries. Adjuncts (and possibly other) professors are struggling, but it seems the last tuition increase did little to increase their salaries or chances of security. Staff is at constant risk of budget cuts—the people who do the work that goes unnoticed are one of the key components of keeping the university running. Students and residents are struggling to pay housing bills, which are driven up by the overloaded housing infrastructure in Corvallis and brought on by blatant neglect and ignorance of city and non-student community issues by OSU administration. Students are also struggling to pay tuition bills, unable

Yes, it would be great to have more state funding, but OSU is one of the largest universities in the state, and receives one of the highest percentages of funding from the state because of its size. It should not rest squarely on the shoulders of those in school to push for state funding. What are administrators getting paid for if not to make education equitable and accessible to everyone? What are they doing instead? Increasing our tuition. It seems to me that this increase will be the University’s way of flipping the bird to the students.

What about these issues suggests that increasing tuition AGAIN will do anything for the people who are necessary to the daily functions of the university?
