While Fall Jump traditionally sees a larger number of people both jumping and in attendance at the event itself, this year still saw large recruitment numbers for some fraternities.

Mushroom danger increases in spring Ideal environment for mushroom growth puts foragers at risk of consuming poisonous fungi Seth Gin Practicum News Contributor
Spring has arrived, and although the rainy season has not completely yet left, sunny days are no longer a distant fantasy for Oregonians. The occasional bit of sunshine ushers in tank tops and good cheer, but also mushrooms. Corvallis’ unique environment makes it an ideal location for a diverse array of mushrooms, many of which people find tasty. Mushroom foragers have already begun the hunt this season, looking to fill their paper bags with a bounty of morels and other fungi. “After a rainstorm when it is sunny, mushrooms come out” said Genevieve Weber, a mycologist at Oregon State University. Summers are too dry and winters often too wet, but morel mushrooms begin to appear early in the Spring, Weber said. “Chantrelles and hedgehog mushrooms come out mid to late fall.” Mushroom foraging is not all morels and chanterelles, however. Oregon is also home to countless less-thanedible fungi. The genus Amanita, for example, contains the Marioesque Amanita muscaria—a white-spotted red mushroom known for it’s intense hallucinations and considerable nausea-inducing capacity. “You won’t have a good time with it” Weber said. Other infamous mushrooms in the Amanita genus include the highly toxic death cap, and the aptly-named “destroying angel”, both of which cause excruciating pain and large scale organ failure that ultimately end in death unless several major organ transplant procedures can be done quickly, according to Weber. There are several edible mushrooms within the
See Mushroom, Page 8

Although some mushrooms and other types of fungi are edible, there also exist a wide variety that are inedible and present dangers to those that consume them, including poisoning. Some mushrooms look similar to other types that are consumed recreationaly, which presents further danger.
CORRECTION: In the Friday, April 8 edition of the Daily Barometer, the picture that ran alongside the article “OSU fined by the EPA” had a barrel of radioactive materials. The fine that the univeristy agreeed to pay was in relation to hazardous waste, not radioactive materials. The Daily Barometer has removed these pictures from the online publication and apologizes for the mistake. CORRECTION: In the Wednesday, April 6 edition of the Daily Barometer in the Saul Boulanger and Chip Campbell profile under the “ASOSU voting open” story, the group Allied Students for Another Politics (ASAP) was incorrectly identified.

Divest Initiative to eliminate fossil fuels passes OSU Divest
Corvallis, OR — OSU students came together in a 78 percent vote in favor of the OSU Foundation divesting from fossil fuels. They united amidst messages of the risk climate change poses to the future they are investing in by attending OSU, and the vulnerability of those threatened globally. The question remains, will the Foundation hear the students or let continue investing in the most extractive industry in the world? “This is the students’ choice because this
planet is where we will raise our children, and watch our grandchildren blossom. This is our future and we chose in favor of the divestment of fossil fuels because we simply can not afford the alternative,” explains Amy Hickey, student organizer with OSU Divest. “We have petitioned for over a month gaining support for the cause and advocating for our futures.” Nearly two years, the OSU Foundation officially decided against fossil fuel divestment after meeting with students. At the time, students asked

the Foundation to hold off on making a decision citing feelings of not being heard in the meeting. The vote in today’s ASOSU election comes after a Faculty Senate resolution calling for divestment in 2013 and a unanimous ASOSU Senate resolution in 2014. “Students have been asking OSU to stop choosing profit over our lives for years, and we have continued working with students to build enough power for them to hear us,” recalls Jesse Pettibone, student organizer with OSU Divest.
“Decision makers at every level have been gambling with our futures my entire life and now we cannot stop demanding better. There’s too much at stake.” With the end of another academic year approaching, the OSU Foundation has a unique opportunity to stand with students in this moment and pledge to divest while they finalize plans for reinvesting in ways that align with OSU’s mission. baro.news@oregonstate.edu

The Oregon State baseball team completes the sweep on Sunday with a 7-1 victory over Central Arkansas. The Beavers (22-7, 5-4 Pac-12) got a four-hit shutout from sophomore left-hander Luke Heimlich, who went 7 2/3 innings and tied a career high, seven strikeouts, in the series finale against the visiting Bears (13-17, 5-7 Southland). “I thought he really changed speeds well,” said head coach Pat Casey. “I thought his stuff was good, and he kept the ball down.” After throwing 21 pitches in the opening frame, Heimlich settled into a groove, making quick work of the Bear batters. “The first inning was definitely not a pretty inning,” said Heimlich. “Then the third and the fourth inning was when it really clicked and I was finding my offspeed. I wasn’t bouncing as many, my misses were small and at the location where I wanted, so I was more consistent from the third on.” “It’s hard to play defense when you are kind of standing around for a while,” said sophomore left fielder Christian Donahue. “I think

Oregon State couldn’t take advantage of early opportunities to jump on Central Arkansas, standing four baserunners in the first two innings. The Beavers finished 3-16 (.188) at the plate with runners in scoring position. “I didn’t think we got enough quality at bats from the middle of our order, I thought we could have done a better job there,” Casey said. “When we get guys on we need to bring them home.” The struggle at the plate can be attributed to the lack of quality pitches the Beavers were seeing. OSU batters were patient at the plate, drawing seven walks from Bear pitchers. “It’s kinda hard sometimes when you don’t have a lot of hits, when you look at a lot of walks, you don’t get a lot of opportunities to swing the bat,” said Casey. “Our main focus was to have really good, quality at bats,” said Donahue, who finished with two doubles and a single. “(We wanted) to strike the balls that are in the zone, and take the ones that aren’t. We did really good this weekend at that.” The Beavers broke through for two runs in the third innings, aided by fielding error from the Bears. Donahue started the inning off with his second double of the game, then freshman second basemen Nick Madrigal reached on a walk. Donahue and Madrigal pulled off a double-steal, advancing to second and third, bringing up Jack Anderson.

Follow election with more action By Sean Bassinger Forum editor
L
ooks like we’ve survived another student government election season. The Associated Students of Oregon State University elections have concluded with the preliminary results showing that the ticket of Rachel Grisham and Brett Morgan have won with more than 40 percent of the overall vote count, according to official voting documents from the ASOSU elections website. Joshua Kaufman, following a close election, was also selected as Speaker of the House. In addition, our student government will see a variety of incoming House, Senate, Student fee committee members and So what could happen next and what will this mean for the future of OSU students? I’ll tackle the “ugly” side of politics first with the following answer: Not a whole lot. Student tuition costs, fees and other miscellaneous expenses will remain as they are, assuming someone upstairs (“upstairs” being the administrators in Kerr and the Oregon legislature) does not find a new, elaborate reason to raise university prices or cut state funding. It’s already disheartening to see how the State of Oregon has
classically paid more for corrections than higher education. Data from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, which appeared in an October 2015 article from The Washington Post, ranks Oregon as No. 2 in this regard. Task forces will have little, if any, impact on the continued founding of new programs, initiatives and engagements on campus. Finally, the elections processes, student attendance at rallies, student legislative meetings and student government events will remain low. Again, this is arguably the worse case scenario, assuming that the majority of students remain apathetic and student leaders receive no additional support from administrators. None of this should be expected or accepted, especially if student voter turnouts continue to improve. Now, let’s talk about the good that could happen. Grisham, Morgan and their administration could continue to extend their hands out to other campus organizations in an effort to engage more students and student organizations than ever before. Programs such as OSU Divest, which seeks to cut down on fossil fuel companies that the university supports, would continue to reflect what task forces can be capable of. The more students that rise up and send a message in regards to their desires and needs, the more impact and action we’re likely to see from our government and administration. This could affect everything from tuition prices to textbook costs and other student funding woes. I’ve personally seen a good

Grisham and Morgan took in around 40 percent of the overall votes Friday. handful of students participate inside and out of student government organizations, but we still need more. The less students who interact with college-level politics and reach out in some way, shape or form to make a difference, the more our university and state leaders will only see this as a sign of apathy. So to Grisham, Morgan and all the other incoming student representatives, I ask you this: Please stick to your word as best you can, and always reach out for more. Don’t think of this as “just another resume booster,” but as an opportunity to truly repre-
sent students on a greater scale and seek out greater amounts of change to help benefit students in the years to come. Prove to any naysayers or doubters (not just limited to news publications or political opposition forces) that you’ll make this the year that things finally turned around. And as for the candidates who did not win their desired seats, continue to get involved in your campus community. I heard some great points brought up during the ASOSU election debates, but that’s just it: We’ve heard great points for years. When the lip service ends, we don’t often see too much
more outside of arbitrary funding conflicts and “committees on committees” (yes, this was a thing at one point).
Make this the year.

‘Rayman Legends’ offers great gameplay By Luke Van Hoomisen

Split Screen, KBVR TV
f you are looking for a great addition to an epic game night, consider picking up “Rayman Legends,” the second modern co-op 2D platformer in the comeback of Ubisoft’s original mascot Rayman. This legendary experience offers you and three other friends the opportunity to run, jump, slide, and punch your way through a variety of levels drawn out as beautiful paintings. There are six distinct worlds, each with their own personalities being brought to the table. You journey through levels based off of navigating a feast during the Day of the Dead, infiltrating a submarine, running down a castle under siege on-beat to a remix of Black Betty and that’s just to name a few. This game oozes with creativity, but what sets it apart from the bunch is that you can have even more fun by challenging these crazy paintings with your friends. The game can be completed solo, but getting punched into a ledge by another player or fighting over an extra life makes it all the more exciting.
The opinions expressed in Van cally inspired stages. I won’t spoil which songs they are, because the surprise is Hoomisen’s column do not necessarily priceless, but you and your buds will represent those of The Daily Barometer be adventuring to metal, surf, mariachi, staff. and even orchestral music. OrangeMediaNetwork.com This game goes for $30 through most retailers and there is a wealth of content to be found here. Past the meat of the game there are levels from Rayman Origins. Beyond just more levels: there is a versus soccer game. Here you can kick a flaming soccer ball into your opponent’s’ goal only to have them bounce it back into the air with their heads. This minigame is great for parties with four players or settling scores one on one. The games that we normally play on Split Screen tend to have those purposes in mind. If you ever need some more inspiration for an epic game night with great friends check out Split Screen on KBVRTV channel 26 at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Also be sure to check out Split Screen Radio every Wednesday at 5 p.m. on 88.7 KBVR FM. On Wednesday the 13th we will be featuring Bill Lodges, OSU professor of Digital Communications on our radio show.

Sure, there’s also an online option, but there still isn’t anything like getting salty or working together with a friend on the couch. This game shares the same philosophy as Split Screen: gaming is best as a shared experience. This game provides a healthy balance of competition and cooperation. At the end of each level the total amount of “lums” (points) that each player collected in the level is shown. There are however a multitude of semi-optional segments found throughout the game with imprisoned “teensie” NPCs who contribute to your overall completion as
the more your team gets the sooner you can progress to the next exotic world. Not to mention that missing an opportunity to help these cuties will fill your group with pings of regret. Throughout the game you will be helping and hindering each other until the very end. This whacky game even features a zany remix of Ram Jam’s classic rockabilly single “Black Betty” during a castle siege. This level contains dragons spewing fire, chains to slide down, and falling towers to jump from. The only way to survive these perils is to move and act to the rhythm of the song. Each gallery of levels has one of these musi-

Mushroom
Continued from page 3 Amanitas, but experts strongly caution against it. “I’ve been tempted, but still don’t.” Weber said, regarding edible Amanitas. Plant pathologist Bailey Williams seconds that notion. “I wouldn’t forage for anything that wasn’t distinctive” she said. Mushrooms such as morels and chanterelles are very distinctive, and their poisonous false counterparts, the false-morel and false-chanterelle are only mildly poisonous, Williams said. Beyond the realm of culinary mushrooms and toxic mushrooms is the category of recreational fungus—psychedelic mushrooms, several mushrooms within the genus psilocybe. Psilocybin, or magic mushrooms are non-descript looking brown mushrooms that give powerful “trips”. The genus is large, and many other poisonous mushrooms look very much like them. Most magic mushrooms are grown in labs with spores rather than foraged for, because of the substantial risk of misidentification. Alayna Engle, a local botanist explained there are dangers of magic mushroom look-a-likes. “Immature Cortinarius rubellus a.k.a deadly webcaps, look just like Psilocybe semilanceata a.k.a magic mushrooms, but rather than a nice
I wouldn’t forage for anything that was’t distinctive Genevieve Weber Mycologist at OSU trip, it’ll straight up murder you with renal failure, and it’ll be drawn out over a couple of weeks.” The Amanite muscaria is also sometimes lumped in with magic mushrooms, but it’s hallucinations are most often described negatively, or as Engle described it, “intense bouts of mortal terror”. Weber recalled an urgent call from the hospital to a coworker trying to identify a mushroom that had a delirious patient crying and vomiting, trapped in a nightmarish hallucination—it was Amanita muscaria. Mushroom season offers a bounty of delicious fungi to forage for, but all the experts agree, forage with well trained people, hunt for easily identifiable mushrooms, and when in doubt, don’t eat it. baro.news@oregonstate.edu
