OSU-Cascades campus in transition n

OSU campus in Bend will become 4 year university in 2015, will then welcome first freshman class

By Alex Crawford The Daily Barometer

The same factors that make Bend one of the premiere tourist destinations in the state will also attract students to Oregon State UniversityCascades campus as it expands to a four-year university, officials from Bend say.

“Higher education adds a significant stimulus to local tourism industries and OSU-Cascades will be no exception,” said Doug LaPlaca, president and CEO of Visit Bend, the city’s tourism bureau and sports commission.

Becky Johnson, vice president of the Cascades campus, said the goal is for OSU-Cascades to have their first freshman class in the fall of 2015. The Oregon University System has already approved the expansion and OSU-Cascades is currently in the process of hiring faculty and establishing a physical campus. Currently, the university, which is the first and only branch

campus of OSU, only offers junior-, senior- and graduate-level courses.

According to Johnson, visitors to the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis spend an average of $39 million a year. Many of the visitors to Corvallis come for sporting events, something that OSU-Cascades doesn’t yet offer. Still, move-in day, move-out day, sibling days, parent days and alumni days all provide occasions for friends and family of OSU-Cascades students to visit Bend.

“Any university has a lot of visitors that come in addition to the students,” Johnson said. “In addition to eating at the restaurants, many will stay overnight. Many will ski at Mt. Bachelor.

Also, a lot of people who come as tourists come to live in Bend later because they like it so [much].”

LaPlaca noted the importance of tourism to the Bend area, saying it is hard to find a segment of the local economy that is not affected by tourism.

“Tourism is a major pillar of Bend’s economy,” LaPlaca said. “There are 2.2 million visitors a year [in] Bend, and 80,000 year-round residents, that’s an enormous influx for an area of this size.”

Bend’s proximity to the Cascade Mountain Range and the Deschutes River makes it a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. Taking advantage of Bend’s location, OSU-Cascades is one of the only schools in the nation to offer a degree in tourism and outdoor leadership.

“We get a lot of students from across the country who are interested in that degree,” Johnson said. “There is no question that location is one of our key factors that we market and that will help brand us. You can get OSU-quality education in this unique location, with an incredible quality of life.”

OSU President Ed Ray helped to provide the impetus to expand OSU-Cascades to a four-year school during a State of the University address he gave in Bend last spring. His call upon the university and the Bend area to expand OSUCascades was met with a standing ovation by the 1,000-person crowd in attendance.

“Bend is the largest population area in the state of Oregon that doesn’t have its own fouryear university,” said Steve Clark, OSU vice president of university relations and marketing. “We support the state’s educational goals and support the Central Oregon population, economy and

community culture by helping to expand OSUCascades to a four-year university.”

OSU-Cascade’s expansion is also in line with Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber’s 40-40-20 plan, the goal of which is for 40 percent of Oregonians to have an undergraduate degree or greater, 40 percent to have an associates degree or greater and 20 percent have at least a high school education by 2025.

For the 40-40-20 plan to be effective, the state’s universities will have to take on an increase of tens of thousands of students each year.

Clark noted that it would be unrealistic for the Corvallis campus of OSU to take on an additional 15,000 students each year, but by expanding OSU-Cascades, managing the growth of OSU and increasing online enrollment, the plan could see fruition.

“To compete in today’s society and for Oregon to prosper as a place we need to improve the education achievement of all Oregonians,” Clark said.

Vocaldente, an a capella group from Germany, brings comedy, melody to Corvallis

By Ryan Dawes

The Daily Barometer

Vocaldente, a five-person a cappella group from Hanover, Germany, performed a concert at the Whiteside Theater Thursday. Members from the Corvallis community were treated to about two hours of crisp harmonies, witty jokes and an insight into German culture at the free event.

“I think the whole audience, including myself, had a lot of fun,” said Sebastian Heiduschke, assistant professor of German at OSU. “The Whiteside was the perfect venue for this kind of event.”

The concert opened with an arrangement whose original song, “Let’s Misbehave,” was a jazz piece written in the 1920s. The group explained after the song that it was the purpose for the night – to have Spaß, the German word for “fun.”

The performance provided just that.

Oregon Dance offers unique creative outlet n

Annual Oregon Dance spring concert takes place this weekend at the Majestic

By Lara von Linsowe-Wilson The Daily Barometer

Oregon State University performance group Oregon Dance will be presenting its 34th annual spring concert for two days starting April 26, at the Majestic Theater in downtown Corvallis.

In addition to the main troupe, the concert will also feature the OSU Vietnamese Dance Club and select students from Linn-Benton Community College and guest performers.

“These concerts have given me an opportunity to pass on the wonderful legacy of modern dance,” said OSU professor of dance Carol Soleau, founder and artistic director for Oregon Dance.

Soleau is going on her 36th year of teaching at Oregon State. To this day she believes there is no better place for modern dance than where it began, in universities.

When Soleau first created Oregon Dance, it was a group of various dance teachers throughout Benton County. Then, as things began to pick up

speed, students were invited to perform in the concerts. Today, the troupe is made up entirely of OSU students.

Although Corvallis is home to many talented dancers, OSU does not have an actual dance degree program, giving students few means to pursue their love for the art form.

Instead, these stuR.L. Milstein CONTRIBUTED PHOTO dents were drawn to Oregon State for academic and other reasons, forcing them to leave their tap shoes and ballet slippers at home. Oregon Dance looks to give these students an outlet to keep the dance going.

“The wonderful thing about Oregon Dance is that it’s for students without the benefit of a dance program,” Soleau said. “They grew up in dance. They love to dance. They are so happy to find a venue to keep up with their

passions.”

Two of the dancers to be featured in this weekend’s performances are OSU students Sean Carrigg and Maryam Baghdadi.

Carrigg, 21, has been dancing since the age of 10, and has been participating in Oregon Dance for the past two years.

“Dance has allowed me to express myself in ways that can’t be done with words,” Carrigg said.

“Dancing makes me feel free and allows many of my everyday stresses to dissolve away by providing a creative outlet.”

Bagdadi, also 21 and a member of Oregon Dance for the past two years, has been dancing for a total of 16 years.

“Dance to me means an escape where I can focus on whatever I want to focus on, instead of being told what to do,” Baghdadi said.

One of the more serious pieces to be showcased, “Isle,” was written by Soleau’s brother. The dance explores the relationship between Adam See DANCE | page 2

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. Senate approved a measure on Thursday aimed at ending budget-related air traffic controller furloughs that have been blamed for widespread flight delays this week.

A bipartisan agreement giving Transportation Department budget planners new flexibility for dealing with forced spending cuts cleared the chamber unanimously.

“It will be good news for America’s traveling public if Congress spares them these unnecessary delays,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said. “But ultimately, this is no more than a temporary Band-Aid that fails to address the overarching threat to our economy posed by the sequester’s mindless across the board cuts.”

The House was expected to take up the proposal on Friday.

The plan also would allow authorities to protect 149 control towers at small and medium-sized airports that are slated for closure for budgetary reasons.

Controller furloughs and the planned closure of towers that are privately run but overseen by federal aviation regulators have become political flash points in the partisanfueled debate over spending in Washington.

They have been highlighted by many to illustrate a clear nationwide consequence of the $85 billion in government-wide cuts that took effect in March and may otherwise not be apparent to the public.

Vocal and politically powerful aviation interests have argued that the budget cuts affecting their industry would hurt business, travelers and cost jobs. More than 600 million people fly U.S. airlines each year, figures show.

VOCALDENTE n Continued from page 1 The group sang a cappella arrangements, without the use of microphones or anything else other than their bodies, of songs from a variety of genres, ranging from a German lullaby to an a cappella version of a song that originally was from the nu-metal genre.

“We try to cover all different types of music,” said Tobek Kiel, who sings first tenor in the group.

During songs, they also manipulated the sounds of instruments such as horns, violins and drums with their voices. Their precision brought a positive reaction from the audience.

Furloughs affecting some 15,000 Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers began this week with the agency saying it had no flexibility to avert them without action

by Congress.

Under the sweeping austerity triggered by congressional inaction on deficit reduction, the FAA was required to cut $600 million from its budget.

The proposal approved by the Senate would allow the Transportation Department to adjust funding to “prevent reduced operations and staffing” for the remainder of the current federal budget year, which expires on September 30.

More than 863 flight delays were attributable to furlough-related staffing shortages on Wednesday at air traffic facilities in Chicago, New York, Washington, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, Detroit and Dallas, the FAA said.

By comparison, there were more than 2,100 delays due to weather and other factors, the agency said.

Controllers are spacing planes farther apart at key centers so they can manage traffic with current staffing, the FAA said.

The deal designed to loosen the grip of spending cuts on aviation moved quickly through the Senate.

“Something rare has happened in Washington; the Senate came together on a bipartisan basis to put common sense before politics,” said Republican Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas.

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins said she worried that continued FAA furloughs could jeopardize jobs throughout the travel and hospitality industry.

Along with their singing, the group also danced and added some small theatrical performances into several of the songs. Between songs, they used humor as transitions, which sent the majority of the audience into a roar of laughter.

A song that brought forth a very enthusiastic reaction was an arrangement of “I’m A Country Boy,” where air-fiddling, mock horse-riding and several other western spoofs was included in it.

“I’m glad they included that song,” Heiduschke said. “It was my favorite.”

Volcadente was founded in 2004, consisting of two tenors, a countertenor, a baritone and a bass. Since then, it has

When it comes to choreographing her own dances, however, Soleau likes to make sure the audience leaves with a smile on their face.

“One of the things I take very seriously is humor,” Soleau said.

Carrigg and Baghdadi will perform as a duet for a comedic piece written by Soleau called “Can We Dance?”.

Burning down the house: On April 24, at 7:00 p.m., Oregon State Police was dispatched to an exploded pipe next to a building east of McNary Hall on 11th Street, and determined it to have been a burnt cigarette receptacle. At the same time a Department of Public Services student officer came upon a post that had smoke coming out of it. Apparently students have been stuffing cigarettes in the posts and using them as ashtrays.

Liar, liar, pants on fire: On April 22, officers responded to a fire alarm activation at the International Living-Learning Center. A fire alarm had been pulled on the first floor.

After everyone was allowed back into the building, Wei-Shiang Lin came forward and admitted that he pulled the alarm by mistake. After reviewing the tape it was apparent that he pulled the alarm intentionally. He was contacted between classes and transported to Benton County, where he was cited and released.

“It’s a great thing to get to see the world doing what you love to do,” said Christoph Grasse, who sings countertenor. “You also get to see places and connect with people from other countries in ways that you probably would never get to as a tourist.”

The vocal group performs songs of which they arrange themselves, specifically contemporary and modern music from the past 100 years. They also have written their own pieces. Stylistically, they focus on keeping their performance

they try,” Carrigg said. “They fall asleep and dream they are the best dancers in the world, only to wake up and realize their hopes were a little too high. I’d have to say this one is my favorite.”

Soleau seems excited about the performance as well.

“My students this year are a wonderful group of really talented young people, and I think the audience will be really surprised about the innovative ideas and how good the dancers make them feel,” Soleau said.

“I love to do it, and that’s why I’m still here,” Soleau added. “34 years is quite a

“By doing a cappella, you have your instrument, which is your voice, with you all the time,” Kiel said. “You don’t need any amplification, and there is also nothing separating you from your audience.”

Volcadente intends to perform many more times in the future, and they plan to return to Corvallis. To express their appreciation of the town and their desire to return, they say: “The audience in Corvallis is fantastic,” Kiel said. “We look forward to visiting again.”

The show will start at 7:30 p.m. both days, and ticket prices are $15 general admission, $10 for students and seniors.

All members of the OSU community are encouraged to attend, with all money going back to the dance program to help keep the arts alive on campus.

“The purpose of the show is to entertain,” Baghdadi concluded. “There is a large variety of pieces, some serious, some funny, and even guest performers in order to incorporate everyone’s tastes.”

As I am sure you are aware, the lead singer, Count Grishnackh, is currently in jail for killing another band member because he was becoming more satanic than him. After he broke out of jail and began burning down churches — to keep a low profile, obviously — he was reincarnated and began the band Burzum. Am I a bad person if I purchase his music?

-Robin Graves Thanks so much for your question, Robin. I was not acutely aware of this situation but I have seen the documentary, “Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey,” which briefly outlines some of Count Grishnackh’s more nefarious

deeds along with an interesting anthropological exploration of various metal genres.

To take this question down to its more moral root, it seems as though the question at hand has more to do with how we use our consumerist “vote” to support various firms or organizations. Another version of your question might be something like, “X business is causing Y harm: Am I in any way responsible for perpetuating Y harm by providing material resources to X business?”

However beautifully written, the argument offered to support the use of the r-word boils down to “the end justifies the means.” This is not so. My concern for individuals far exceeds my requirement for immediate visceral reactions to my statements. Powerful discourse with sword-like words can take a back seat to human kindness. We may not change the world quickly by removing a painful epithet from common speech. However, we can take the initial step by removing that thoughtless, discriminatory barb, the most typical use of the r-word.

Self-esteem matters to the quality of life for each of us. Let’s shield it with our words.

What I learned in college: College is mostly a waste

I

’m 28. I have nothing wise to say about the world. But, when I thought about how I only had weeks left at Oregon State, I figured I should go out with a walk-off homerun, the sort of thing that wins the game and keeps people talking long after you’ve left the field.

So in the coming weeks I am going to be looking at things I would like to change and reflecting on others.

I am not going to say college has been an entire waste of time, but it has been underwhelming.

Instead of it being the life-defining challenge with a mixture of selfdevelopment and full of fun and partying, college has been an expensive exercise in self-control amidst frustration.

It has been frustrating having to take classes where I learned absolutely nothing — like HHS 231, because seriously, I don’t need a 10-week class telling me I need to eat more veggies, drink less and exercise more — or just general eye-rolling and boredom, like my history class earlier this week where members of the class discussed their favorite novels and personal life for 90 minutes.

I know a college degree is valuable, and I’m not going to drop out five weeks away from getting my degree.

I am also not saying that universities or liberal arts educations are not valuable, or at least valuable to some. But it hasn’t been to me.

Perhaps it is because I am a bit of an autodidact, a self-taught person. I love to read books. Even when I wasn’t going to school, I would read novels or non-fiction books, whether they were about history or journalism.

But college is mostly a $10,000-a-year experiment where some intelligent people tell you what books to read, and you either write about it or talk about it or both.

I like talking about the books I read.

Over a beer or coffee I’ve been known to go through whatever ideas are floating through my head. So I don’t see the benefit of paying money so I can listen to others talk about ideas, especially when it seems like most of the students who participate in class discussion are just saying what they think the teacher wants to hear, or just love the sounds of their own voices.

I seek out people who are smart, and I ask them what they are reading.

In fact, I have several stacks of books sitting around my house waiting to be read that were either purchased by me or given to me. So I am definitely going to continue reading and educating myself long after I leave college, much like I did before I arrived.

For many, college is the last time they will pick up a book or they will engage in discourse about anything, and college might be for them. But for those of us who will continue to read and remain knowledgeable, do we truly need college? I’m not sure we do.

Universities are good for putting together intelligent people, and providing researchers the resources they need to solve important problems.

But as an undergrad, I have felt like I have been marking time, spending many a class staring listlessly out the window or rolling my eyes when that one person in the front of the class starts talking, yet again, derailing the whole lecture. Most times, I leave class frustrated or bored, instead of feeling intellectually challenged or See ILER | page 7

All eyes will be on the QBs, as they should be T

welve months ago, a quarterback emerged in a spring game.

It happened 45 miles south of Corvallis.

Marcus Mariota, still a relatively unknown redshirt freshman at the time, put on a clinic at the University of Oregon football team’s spring game.

Mariota was in the midst of a quarterback battle with Bryan Bennett.

Bennett came in as the favorite to win the job. He had experience as Darron Thomas’ backup (369 passing yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions).

Mariota was on the scout team.

But Mariota’s eye-opening performance last April — he completed 18 of 26 passes (69.2 percent) for 209 yards, one touchdown, one interception, 106 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns — was the first step on his way to winning the starting spot.

Mariota ended up being the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, First Team All-Pac-12 and the constant for the nation’s fourth-best offense.

Bennett transferred to Southeastern Louisiana.

That’s the end of the Ducks talk, but the point resonates in Corvallis.

The spring game can matter, especially when the starting quarterback position is nebulous.

It’s funny how much can change in a year.

When two quarterbacks were battling for a spot on “Team Nike,” the Beavers had their guy.

Sean Mannion was the starter — no questions asked.

He was the quarterback of the future for a team that appeared to be rebuilding after a combined 8-16 record in 2010 and 2011.

On a team bursting with talented underclassmen at nearly every position, Mannion was the catalyst behind a team built to win in a year or two.

Then, to the surprise of most, the Beavers kept winning.

After Mannion tore the meniscus in his left knee and required surgery, Cody Vaz picked up right where Mannion and the Beavers left off.

Baseball looks to bounce back n

After losing 2 of 3 against UW last weekend, OSU aims for a series win against Southern California at home

By Andrew Kilstrom The Daily Barometer

When asked what his team needs to do to beat USC this weekend after losing a conference series to Washington last weekend, head coach Pat Casey responded with three words: “play better baseball.”

Last weekend, the No. 5 Beavers (31-8, 11-4 Pac12) dropped the first two games of a three-game series to Washington, before getting wins in game three and then against Seattle U in a 14-inning thriller.

“It’s hard for people to understand the game of baseball,” Casey said. “It’s not as easy or as fixed as people would think. It’s hard to play, it’s hard to win, it’s hard to catch the ball, it’s hard to get the ball to bounce where you want it to bounce and we just

shot ourselves in the foot [against Washington].”

Getting a series victory against USC (16-23, 8-10) will be important if OSU wants to remain in first place in the Pac-12 standings.

Oregon State already started the process with the win over Seattle U on Monday. While it took the Beavers 14 innings, getting the win was the most important thing.

“Seattle U, ever since I’ve been here, has played us really tough,” said junior catcher Jake Rodriguez.

“That was a huge win for us.”

The hero in Monday’s win was junior reliever Scott Schultz. Schultz threw the last 7 1/3 innings of the game, allowing no runs and only two hits.

The right-hander established himself as OSU’s best pitcher out of the bullpen last season, and has continued where he left off. “[Schultz] was awesome,” Rodriguez said. “I don’t think the coaching staff wanted to throw him that long, but he just kept coming in the dugout saying, ‘give me the ball, give me the ball’, and he took it

upon himself to stay in the game.”

Pitching has been Oregon State’s strong suit all season, but the Beavers struggled on Saturday against Washington.

The staff could get a lift soon with the anticipated return of sophomore Jace Fry. Fry was arguably OSU’s best pitcher last season, before the left-hander injured his elbow in the NCAA Regionals.

The injury required Tommy John surgery, but Fry threw a live bullpen at Thursday’s practice, and could be ready in the next couple weeks.

“He’s really close and I’m excited for him,” Casey said. “Everybody felt like he was going to be ready to go last weekend and we didn’t want to do that.

When he’s ready he’ll be ready, and we just don’t want to push it.”

Fry started last season, but because he’s returning from serious surgery and OSU already has three See BASEBALL | page 6

Football plays spring game Friday n

OSU plays annual spring game Friday, televised on Pac-12 Networks

By Sarah Kerrigan The Daily Barometer

Oregon State football takes the field at Reser Stadium Friday night for the spring football game, which will culminate spring camp.

It’s a chance for students and fans to get a glimpse of what the 2013 season will look like for the Beavers. It is also a chance for the younger players to get a better feel for what game day preparations feel like.

“There’s a little bit of hype with it, fans come out to watch,” said head coach Mike Riley. “It’s good for some guys because it has a different feel than practice.”

Spring games in the past have taken the format of a controlled scrimmage between an even distribution of first-and second-string players. It is expected to be a similar format this year, as well.

However, this year the game is to be televised on the Pac-12 Networks. Riley said that having the game televised does not change how he is going to approach the game. He does not want to change anything that might add a higher risk of injury to his players before fall camp.

That being said, the players are excited for the game and

the chance to play in front of fans again.

“Guys are really juiced for the spring game,” said sophomore running back Storm Woods.

“The community’s talking about it, people on Twitter are hitting us up, so we’re excited to get out here and show people what we’ve got.”

Fans can expect the players to come out with intensity like a real game. That game day mentality is good practice for the younger players to adjust to the more electric setting.

“I think it is good for the young guys to get that feel of getting ready for a game and go through a game day scenario,” said junior quarterback Sean Mannion.

The spring game is more intense than a normal practice, but the players also try not to let the extra hype affect their game.

“I try not to psych myself out about the spring game,” Mannion said. “But I think it’s important to finish on a strong note.”

The scrimmage format allows the players to focus on particular aspects of the game, depending on the situation the coaches present. The players are looking to take advantage of the game-like situation to hone their skills one final time before the offseason.

The Oregon State softball team received just one vote in this week’s USA Today coaches poll, the fewest it’s received this season.

But ask the Beavers (27-17, 4-11 Pac-12), who welcome No. 23 Arizona to town this weekend, and they’ll say things are trending up.

OSU is coming off a 1-0 win over No. 10 California on Sunday. The win, which snapped a streak of 13 consecutive losses to Cal, came on the Golden Bears’ home field and against the reigning Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, Jolene Henderson.

“It was a really big win,” said senior shortstop Elizabeth Santana. “It’s been awhile since we’ve beat Cal, so that win was definitely good. It was even sweeter because we beat them with their No. 1 pitcher.”

OSU’s Tina Andreana pitched a complete

TRACK n Continued from page 4 “But they looked at the history of the sport, track and cross-country. The school’s very first national championship was in cross-country, men’s cross-country, in 1961. The track program was very competitive, it had Olympians, gold medalists; Dick Fosbury created the ‘Fosbury flop’— I mean, it was a very storied program.”

With Tracktown USA just down the street, and knowing the school’s history in the sport, the university decided to bring back the women’s cross-country team and women’s distance in track, without a facility, 16 years after the programs were disbanded.

Although this came with much excitement, the administration had to be ready to answer tough questions like, “When are

game, two-hitter in the win.

“Tina was fantastic throwing a two-hitter against the No. 10 team,” said head coach Laura Berg. “Yet at the same time, it’s frustrating to know that we can do that all the time.”

Consistency has been an issue for the Beavers all season, as they’ve beaten quality opponents such as Cal and No. 17 Stanford yet been blown out by unranked teams such as Utah.

This weekend, their test comes in the form of the Wildcats, who have struggled with consistency themselves lately.

Arizona (28-19, 5-10) has lost six of its last eight and resides in second-to-last in the Pac-12, just ahead of the last-place Beavers.

Arizona’s downward spiral began on April 9, with a nonconference loss to New Mexico State, and has included three losses to Oregon and two losses to UCLA since then. The losses to the Bruins, which occurred last weekend, are particularly eye-popping considering the lopsided scores of 13-3 and 9-1.

OSU lost two of three against Arizona in Tucson, Ariz., last season.

“They’re a scrappy team, they play quick softball, they play lots of bunts, lots of slaps,” Santana said. “They’re a speed team. Mike

Candrea, he’s a smart coach. He’s going to try and cause some havoc.”

Candrea is in his 28th year as UA’s head coach, and has won eight national titles and made it to 21 CollegeWorld Series in that time.

He also served as head coach of the Untied States national team — which Berg played on — for the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games.

“I played for Coach Candrea with the national team, so I know they rely a lot on being aggressive, causing people to try and hurry up, speed the game up,” Berg said.

With No. 6 Oregon and No. 16 UCLA the only two conference series remaining for the Beavers, this weekend may be their best opportunity — on paper, at least — to pick up a second conference series win and strengthen their NCAA Tournament at-large profile.

“We’re just trying to take that into Arizona and stick it to Arizona,” Andreana said.

“They’re a quality team, they’re ranked, they’re Arizona, they have a name. But very beatable.”

you going to build a track?” and “When are you going to bring back the men’s program?”

“They’ve been open to all that,” Floeck said. “And they’ve been working beside our program, which is why this facility is here, which is all fundraised and donor driven. Now this year we’ve been able to add throwers, jumpers and hurdlers.

And then being able to put on meets is gigantic too.”

The Whyte Track and Field Center is only phase one of a three-phase process.

Phase two is adding all the amenities to the track: bleachers, scoreboard and an entryway. Phase three is reinstating the men’s program with an endowment — all of which will be paid for by fundraising.

The Beavers were joined by the University of Portland and Willamette University earlier this season in Corvallis

for their first home meet, and although today marks the last home meet for the Beavers, the team is more eager to compete than ever.

“I’m a little sad, but I’m excited to compete out here at home again and have all of my friends, who have never seen me jump before, get to watch and to get to compete with everyone,” said senior high jumper Kristin Oenning.

Athletes from all over the state will be competing in Corvallis Friday, including athletes from UP, Western Oregon, Concordia, Southern Oregon, some postcollegiate unattached athletes and the University of Oregon. The Ducks had approached the team last fall about hosting a meet this weekend, and the Beavers jumped at the chance.

“We’re calling it a high-performance meet, because we have entry standards and we want to see really good competitions and really fast races,” Floeck said.

“We envision this meet as being a place where athletes from our program and other programs throughout the state and country can come here, and run fast and get good marks in the field events, and chase qualifying marks for national races, regional races and championship races.”

Most track and field athletes will be competing at the Whyte Track and Field Center, aside from junior Taylor Nowlin, who will travel down to Stanford, Calif., on Sunday for the Payton Jordan Invitational in hopes of improving her mark for the Pac-12 regional meet in the 3,000-meter steeple chase.

“Obviously, there’s a lot going on that day between the spring game, and baseball and softball,” Floeck said. “But if people are big fans of track and field, this is going to be one of the best meets this year in the state of Oregon.”

Events will kick off at 3 p.m. for the BeaversFriday afternoon at the Whyte Track and Field Center, located next to the softball and baseball fields.

Oregon State looks to get the most out of its last two spring games, takes on U-23 Portland Timbers, alumni team in Saturday doubleheader at home

By Sarah Kerrigan The Daily Barometer

Oregon State men’s soccer welcomes back the Portland Timbers U-23 and OSU alumni for a doubleheader at Lorenz Field this Saturday.

The back-to-back games provide the players with a good representation of the level of fitness needed for their fall season.

“It is going to be hard, but it will be good practice for the fall, because [be] the second game, you are exhausted,” said sophomore defender Bjorn Sandberg.

During Pac-12 play, the team usually plays on Friday and Saturday, which can be a hard turnaround. This doubleheader will give the team a better sense of what conference play is like.

“That’s what it’s going to be like in Pac-12 play,” said junior midfielder Josh Smith. “A lot of wear on our bodies, getting used to it will be good.”

The two games also provide the team with much-needed minutes against different opponents.

In the eight-month gap between the end of conference play and the few games they play in the spring, the team is only able to play against themselves.

“It is a good opportunity for the guys to get more minutes against different opposition,” said head coach Steve Simmons. “They play against each other quite a bit, so any time they get a chance to play in matches against others is crucial.”

The competition that the U-23 team brings is a good challenge for the Beavers. Many of the Oregon State players are expected to play with the U-23 team in their summer season.

It offers the participating players a feel for each other in a more competitive, dynamic situation.

“There are going to be a number of guys that are going to be playing for them, so I am sure they are going to want to see how those guys are progressing,” Simmons said.

The players are excited for the high level of competition that the Timbers will bring to their spring schedule.

“I think everyone wants to step up to the plate and show that we are in business this season,” Sandberg said.

The alumni game takes on a different dynamic than a normal match. In one sense, it is more lighthearted and fun, but on the flip side, the Alumni are also looking to show they are still capable at sticking with the college kids.

“We usually have a pretty wide gap between generations,” Smith said. “We will have guys that have been around from the beginning of the program, and then ... guys that were just seniors last year.”

Despite the alumni game having a more casual atmosphere, the team is looking to improve with every game they play.

Last weekend against Concordia, the team was able to create good chances in the attacking half, but was unable to get the finishing touch to score.

“Probably the only piece missing last week was capitalizing on chances created,” Simmons said. “When you create a lot of chances, you want to be able to score goals.”

The team is looking to capitalize on more than just scoring goals this spring, but is striving to capitalize on the short time given in spring to prepare for fall.

“Every game is a game, and since we only play seven or eight spring games, every single one is important to establish our game plan for the fall,” Sandberg said.

ANNOUNCEMENT

•Summer Barometer Editor

The Oregon State men’s golf team is headed to California to begin postseason play. On Monday, the Beavers will play in the Pac-12 Championships along with the rest of the conference.

The tournament, hosted by UCLA, will welcome a field that includes some of the premier NCAA men’s golf programs. The Pac-12 is a powerhouse when it comes to golf, and the Pac-12 Championships will have that talent on full display.

The conference’s top five teams are all ranked in or near the top 10 in the nation, and that includes No. 1 California.

The Golden Bears have had three of their players ranked as the No. 1 golfer in the nation at some point during the season,

STRAUSBAUGH n Continued from page 4 OSU was 6-0 and No. 7 in the nation behind the arm of Vaz. And then Seattle happened, and Shangri-La started collapsing.

When it looked as if the Beavers had two capable signalcallers, they actually opened the floodgates to an issue that just might have derailed, what could have been, an unforgettable season.

In the last seven games of the season, Mannion started four times and Vaz started three. The Beavers went 3-4 in that span.

Keep in mind which teams those wins came against: An Arizona State team in the midst of a mid-season collapse, a 3-8 Cal team that had already checked out and Nicholls State — no explanation necessary.

Head coach Mike Riley has already made it clear that this battle is going to drag out into fall camp. We likely won’t know who the starter will be until mid-to-late August.

So why does it matter now?

It’s a chance for one of these quarterbacks to separate from his counterpart.

Beaver fans will be watching, people from around the country will be watching on the Pac-12 Networks and, most importantly, the coaches will be watching.

It will be the first and only time for everyone to see these two in a live setting, with the first-team offense and defense going at it with full contact.

Which one has the better rapport with Brandin Cooks — arguably the most important player on the team with Markus Wheaton gone — will be telling.

The same goes for who passes the eye test — who exudes confidence in his throws and in the huddle.

The difference between OSU being a Bowl Championship Series team and playing in the Emerald or Las Vegas Bowl hinges on this quarterback

In the field is also the runner-up to the national title last year, UCLA. The Bruins are the No. 5 team in the nation, and have the seventh-ranked golfer.

Just behind them is No. 6 Washington.

Last year at the Pac-12 Championships, the Huskies played poorly and slipped down to a seventh-place finish.

The 2012 Pac-12 Championships were actually played in Corvallis at the Trysting Tree Golf Course. The Beavers, who were familiar with the course, scored well and ended up placing fifth. They hope to replicate that sort of performance this year on a course that is much more foreign to them.

Within the Pac-12, No. 7 Stanford and No. 11 USC are also ranked highly.

Although the Beavers are not ranked in the top 25, they are capable of competing.

2012 Quarterback Statistics

Earth Week April 20-27 TODAY’S EVENT:

At their most recent tournament, Oregon State saw one of its own players claim the individual title.

Nick Chianello shot 11-under-par to claim the top spot at the ASU Thunderbird Invitational, and he was the first individual title winner for Oregon State since 2009.

At the Invitational, the entire OSU team looked poised for a top finish. After the first two rounds, the Beavers sat at 4-underpar and were tied for second place. They looked primed to compete for the title.

However, their final round of play was a bit of a letdown, as they shot 5-over-par.

They ended up sliding to a sixth-place finish.

Chianello and the rest of the Beavers will head to Los Angeles to prove that their two-round performance in Arizona was no fluke.

n case you are unaware, the Memorial Union Program Council has just announced the band lineup for this year’s Flat Tail Festival. I am less than satisfied with their selections.

Students on this campus and in the community have a wide range of musical tastes, and the MUPC missed the mark to satisfy people’s unique preferences.

Give Corvallis rock, country, folk, dance, rap, just a little bit of everything. The Northwest, especially Portland, has so much to offer for a variety of great local music, but this year’s festival does little to demonstrate that.

The problem was that I assumed too much of MUPC. I was under the impression that every year they have a different genre headlining than the previous year, and that the bands will be very diverse. Obviously this is not the case.

I guess MUPC has a lack of musical knowledge. With the artists they have selected to play, they demonstrate that they are not concerned with anyone else’s taste in music.

Congratulations MUPC, you have royally ticked me off.

The biggest disappointment of this year’s Flat Tail is that the headliner will be

Kurt Hagan

Guest Column Hoodie Allen.

Well done, MUPC — two white rappers in a row. The crowd during Macklemore’s set last year was beyond trashed, overly rude and overall just terrible concertgoers.

You’d think the MUPC would have learned their lesson.

I was hoping for some variety. I love my rock ‘n’ roll music but I also appreciate good hip-hop as well.

For instance, Mosley Wotta is the only artist I am looking forward to this year. He is a hip-hop artist who rhymes with positive and poetic lyrics. He is based in Bend and is going to kill it at this year’s festival, because his raps are backed with talented musicians who understand what hip-hop is all about.

This is my last term at OSU and I have to leave this beautiful campus with Hoodie Allen as my send off. I’m quite frustrated. The bottom line is that MUPC failed this year and we all have to suffer through another terrible hiphop set by a goofy white bro.

I already had before college.

But what is a liberal arts degree besides a luxury item invented by a bunch of white upper-class males in the 19th century to train their sons and daughters to sound smarter at cocktail parties? The problem is, I don’t attend many cocktail parties.

Instead of being a luxury commodity, it is now a necessity to

thinking, “Gee whiz, that’s a novel idea.�

This may have to do with the fact that I am a history major, and it is harder to quantify the skills or knowledge gained from a liberal arts degree — and many of those skills I feel

ETHICIST n Continued from page 3 enable or encourage it. Sweatshop labor, slave-like conditions, exploitation of the natural environment and other unjustified harms are clearly difficult to avoid in our globalized consumerist economy, but our purchasing choices do send signals to the current market paradigm. This is an empowering thought.

My iPhone is made of rare earth metals, which are difficult and often dirty to gather under ideal conditions. My iPhone is built in morally dubious conditions by businesses like Foxconn.

Further, major components of my iPhone are shipped across the Pacific Ocean at a tremendous fossil fuel cost in the age of well-known anthropogenic climate change. The more we investigate the costs of our consumerist lifestyles, the more it seems like anything short of local, conscious exchange opens us up to taking responsibility for a multitude of social, economic and environmental harms. Because of a kind of radical interconnectedness neo-liberal globalization begs us to recognize our choices should undergo serious scrutiny.

In your more specific case, that of Count Grishnackh and his new band, Burnzum, it seems as though we must ask ourselves what kind of market signals we are sending. Upon a brief amount of research, I’ve found that Count Grishnackh was released on parole in 2009, has self-identified as a neo-Nazi in the past and openly rejects Judeo-Christianity as heresy against a kind of neopaganism. The more I read, the more I found Count Grishnackh to be an organized racist and likely a supporter of eugenics, the debunked pseudoscience of the turn of the 19th century.

The fact that we participate in a globalized society is a heavy consideration. The question of whether we should support neoNazi, arsonist murderers seems more straightforward to me. I want to live in a society with less neo-Nazi, arsonist murderers, so I will not be buying their music. t

look at college and see a traditional university, like OSU, and feel not only incredibly out of place, but also have a sense of how much of this won’t apply in the real world.

There should be a better way than a bachelor’s degree to quantify dedication, success, intelligence and skill. But since there isn’t, people are forced to go through college, fulfilling unnecessary baccalaureate core or survey courses, annoyed most of the time, just waiting until the end when we can get that receipt that cost us tens of thousands of dollars. t

I’ve also learned some things too, like chemistry, and a better understanding of the Islamic world.

The demographics are different from university demographics as a whole, with far more out-of-state students being represented.

Additionally, fewer graduate students and those older than 25 are represented as well.

Not all voters participated in the survey, with a little over 1,400 taking part. Many of those who began the survey did not answer all the questions.

While less than 10 percent of the student body voted in the last election, but statistics gathered from a poll conducted at the end of the ballot show an electorate that is mostly undergraduate, female, in-state, and overwhelmingly 22 and under.

While half of those participating in the survey live in offcampus housing, 19 percent of voters live in residence halls, 17 percent live in a Greek house and 7 percent live in a private co-op.

Greek life continued to be highly represented in the voting, with 49 percent of respondents belonging to a fraternity

the background checks expansion.

The Giffords/Kelly group went up with radio ads this week criticizing Ayotte and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over their votes opposing the background checks measure and one praising Sen. John McCain for his vote supporting it.

Giffords also sent out an email to supporters asking them to pledge “to become a gun violence voter in 2014.” She said: “If you’re still angry about last week’s vote, you are not alone. But it’s up to us to do something about it, because if we don’t act, no one will.”

The advocacy organization formed by some of President Obama’s former campaign aides, Organizing for Action, bought new online ads to run on news sites and key newspapers in the home states of 10 senators, nine Republican and one Democrat who voted against the background checks issue last week. The ads are tailored to each state, such as one for New Hampshire saying “Remind Senator (Kelly) Ayotte: you work for New Hampshire, not the gun lobby.”

Among the other senators the group is aiming its ads at are: Republicans Saxby Chambliss, Dan Coats, Ted Cruz, Jeff Flake and Rob Portman and Democrat Heidi Heitkamp.

Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association will be trying to marshal its members to keep up the pressure against some of the proposals at its annual convention next week in Houston. The group said it is expecting 70,000 attendees, which would be one of its largest conventions in its history. Among those speaking will be Republican Governors Rick Perry (Texas) and Bobby Jindal (Louisiana) as well as former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum and Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

(CNN) — Vice President Joe Biden reassured leading gun control groups Thursday that the administration remains committed to pushing an expansion of background checks for gun purchases through Congress, according to one of the event’s attendees.

Biden, who has led the administration’s efforts on gun control in the wake of the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, told the meeting of about 15 participants that despite last week’s defeat of a bi-partisan measure in the Senate to expand checks at gun shows and online sales, that this was just the beginning.

“He was delivering a charge to us” to stay engaged Pia Carusone, executive director of the group formed by former congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly, told CNN summarizing the vice president’s message. “He was determined.”

The meeting included that group, Americans for Responsible Solutions, as well as Mayors Against Illegal Guns (formed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg), the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Center for American Progress, Moms Demand Action and representatives of law enforcement.

The administration has said it is committed to continue to push Congress on the issue. Biden’s office confirmed the meeting but would not provide further detail of his remarks.

“We all are in a period of discussion and figuring out what the best strategy is,” Carusone said. “It is just clear there is a strong determination on the part of the administration and all of these various groups that this issue not go away.”

In the wake of their loss, groups involved in the fight are trying to figure out ways to harness public support and build pressure on lawmakers citing polls showing about 90 percent of Americans supported 4
