Welcoming Moms and Family OSU Moms and Family weekend kicks off Friday, runs through Sunday By Lauren Sluss News Reporter

Beginning today and continuing through Sunday, the Oregon State University campus will be welcoming thousands of mothers and family members to celebrate the annual Moms and Family Weekend, allowing students to showcase their college lives. “This weekend, mothers and family members are able to get a glimpse into their student’s life here on campus,” said Linda Howard, MUPC Advisor. “It’s an opportunity for them to see how involved and engaged their students have become with the university.” MUPC Event Coordinators Annie Wells and Stacey Wai, along with MUPC Director Jessica Hammock have been planning this weekend’s events since the conclusion of Dads and Family Weekend last November. They were able to reach out to OSU facilities, colleges and Corvallis community partners in order to produce over 45 different events for mothers and family members to attend this weekend.

“It has been very successful every year,” Hammock said. “It’s really fun to see all the families come to town, and campus comes alive with all the events. People are always very happy to be here.” Moms and Family Weekend began in 1924, and this year helps maintain its long history of being largest revenue generating weekend for the city of Corvallis throughout the entire year, according to Wells. “This weekend is a part of OSU tradition,” Wells said. “It brings together not only families, but also the entire community.” Families are encouraged to check in at the welcome table located in the Memorial Union concourse today from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., and again tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to Wells. “We will be offering a lot of merchandise for mothers and families to purchase, including shirts, wine glasses, tumblers, pins and charms,” Wells said. “We also will be able to answer any questions and direct families in the right direction.”

Families will also be provided with programs containing the weekend’s itinerary. After check in, Friday’s events include Paint Nite, All University Sing 2016 and will conclude with the Country Western Dance Club dance. Saturday’s events will begin early with the Moms and Family Weekend Brunch in the MU Lounge from 9 to 11:30 a.m. The brunch will cost $12 per plate. The winner of the 2016 Mom of the Year Award will also be recognized of the 2016 Mom of the Year Award. This year’s winner is Vicki Blakely, mother of Kelly Carroll. Students were asked to submit an essay prompt answering why their mom was special, and the winner was selected by an MUPC committee, including Wells. “There were a lot of very touching entries, and it was very difficult to choose,” Wells said. “The winners will receive two brunch tickets, two comedy show tickets and two fashion show tickets.” After having the opportunity to visit over 30 different events throughout

Saturday, including Mom’s Challenge Course hosted by Dixon Recreation Center and an art festival in the SEC Plaza, mothers and families will be able to attend the night’s final event—the Comedy Show featuring Roy Wood Jr. and Kyle Dunnigan. Tickets are available online or at the door of LaSells Stewart Center. Sunday’s events begin with the Give Us 5k Walk/Run, and conclude with a ballroom dance from 6 to 9 p.m. These events allow students to give their mothers and family members a taste of what they do at the university, according to Hammock. “This weekend highlights what’s going on at OSU,” Hammock said. “So many great things happen on campus, and students are given the opportunity to show what they have been up to this past year or few years.” The events of Moms and Family Weekend would not have been possible without the help of student volunteers,

THE 30TH ANNUAL OSU HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL WEEK

THE TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT: FROM AUSCHWITZ TO FORGIVENESS Free and open to the public

Speaker: Eva Mozes Kor In 1944, at the age of ten, Eva Mozes, along with her family of Rumanian Jews, was taken to Auschwitz. Her parents and two sisters perished there. She and her twin sister Miriam were spared, but only because they were used for experiments by Dr. Josef Mengele, the most notorious of the Nazi doctors. After spending the 1950’s in Israel, Eva immigrated to the U.S. For many years, she has lived in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1984, she organized a foundation called CANDLES, which tracked the survivors of Mengele’s experiments and in 1995 she established a Holocaust museum in Terre Haute, to provide and promote Holocaust education. Mozes Kor is also well known for her work on peace and forgiveness; she has personally forgiven the Nazis, even Mengele, for what they did to her during World War II.

The tight-knit Tinkles

Tres Tinkle and his mom Lisa Tinkle, meet up after the Beavers 85-70 win over Southern California on Jan. 24.

Tres Tinkle shares a close relationship with his mother, Lisa Tinkle. By Josh Worden Senior Beat Reporter

After the Oregon State men’s basketball team’s 85-70 win over No. 21 USC on Jan. 24, Tres Tinkle began to make plans for the rest of his evening. Fresh off an 18-point, seven-rebound performance, the freshman forward wasn’t thinking about a big party. Instead, he ambled over to his mother Lisa an hour after the game ended with Gill Coliseum nearly empty. “Text me if you guys do anything,” Tres said. “Love you.” Tres, a four-star recruit turned-starting forward for OSU, chose to play college basketball for his father, Wayne Tinkle. Wayne had never coached Tres at any level of basketball, so the experience was unique for both when preseason practices began. What isn’t new is the close bond between Tres and Lisa that has strengthened even further now that both still live in the same town. It was Tres and Lisa, after all, who lived together during Tres’ senior season of high school basketball in Missoula, Mont., while Wayne was busy building a program in Corvallis. With Tres’ older sisters off to college and beyond, it was just mother and son. Since the Tinkles were trying to sell the house, there was almost no furniture at all; Tres slept on an air mattress in the same room as Lisa whenever she was in town.

“We really got by with the bare minimum,” Lisa said. “We made it work. It was simple but you do with what you have.” “It was good having her with me and showing her support and love for me,” Tres added. Both Tres and Lisa valued their time together in Missoula, but it wasn’t as if they weren’t close already. Though Wayne never coached Tres until college, Tres’ third grade YMCA team coached by Lisa won the league championship. Lisa was home more often throughout Tres’ childhood, and Tres could tell she would be the more emotional parent of the two if he chose to attend college far away. “My dad would say, ‘Yeah, see you at Christmas’ or something like that,” Tres said with a laugh. “It was tough with my dad, being away from him for my senior year and missing his first year (at OSU), but I’m happy I kept with my mom.” “I wouldn’t trade those years for anything,” added Lisa of living with Tres through his senior year. Tres, who is not ashamed to call himself “a momma’s boy,” is still able to enjoy the fruits of being a son while at OSU. While most of his teammates at OSU don’t have the privilege of seeing their family often, Tres doesn’t take for granted how close his parents still are: even during the season he would drop by his parents’ house for dinner as much as twice a week.

Lisa Tinkle cheers on Tres and Wayne earlier this year in a game against USC on Jan. 24. His mom understands he’ll still often choose to spend time with teammates at friends away from home, Lisa is still completely capable to spoil Tres: since she still has a copy of Tres’ car key, she surprises him by leaving some desserts in his car on the occasional weekday morning. “Cookies, brownies, apple pie: she does it all,” Tres said. “All my roommates love it, too.” “His dad probably won’t like me doing that,” Lisa said, smiling. “It’s the next best thing to having him home.” Wayne may or may not

have qualms about the sugary treats, but he knows how close Lisa and Tres are and his coaching commitments have made him see the value of family time. “I’ll come home and he’s been there with her for a few hours,” Wayne said. “I think it’s great. I’ve seen their relationship go from being the mother and the little child to where they’ve kind’ve got an adult relationship now. And it’s cool. Makes me a little jealous from time to time.” As much as Tres and Lisa are able to connect in nonbasketball ways, Lisa can hold

her own when it comes to the hardwood. Her YMCA coaching championship was no fluke: the 6-foot-2 forward was inducted into the Montana Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. She scored 1,470 points and grabbed 830 rebounds while playing at Montana. As much basketball success and experience as Lisa has, though, she lets Wayne do most of the coaching. “She definitely knows her things as much as she said she doesn’t,” Tres said. “But I hear stories from other people.” Growing up, Tres and his sisters had a running joke: if their father said after a game they could have played better, it was normal. But if their mother thought they played poorly, that’s when they knew they had really messed up. “You know you played bad when mom — who normally is kindhearted and nice — would let you know,” Tres said. While Wayne and Tres built a new coach-player connection this year, Lisa has found a new role in the trio in addition to being a mother. With Tres experiencing Wayne’s hardnosed coaching for the first time, it wasn’t easy for Tres to adapt to the new side of the relationship. Lisa quickly became a “sounding board” for Tres when he needed to speak his mind. “Wayne’s a tough coach. He’ll yell and scream, and it’s tough to get used to that,” Lisa said. “Hearing that from his dad, (Tres) needed someone

to vent to, and that someone would be me. But that’s really all I can do. I have trust in what Wayne does with his freshmen. You have to break them down before you build them up and start good habits. I just said, ‘you have to trust the process and trust your father. Everything will be alright.’” Things have certainly gotten easier for Tres, who earned a starting spot five games into the conference schedule and is averaged 13.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this year, both good for second on the team. Highlighted by a career-high 23 points and 11 rebounds versus Quinnipiac along with a 19-point outburst against Oregon the very next game, Tres’ growth comes as no surprise for Lisa. “He’s got a work ethic like no other,” she said. “I’ve never seen anybody that loves the gym more than he has.” The feeling is mutual between all members of the Tinkle family.

OSU comes home

By Brian Rathbone Sports Contributor

eavers vs.Trees. Nature’s nemesis will square off on the diamond of Goss Stadium when Oregon State hosts Stanford for a pivotal Pac-12 matchup this weekend. Ten of the 11 teams in the Pac-12 are in striking distance of claiming the Pac-12 title, and Oregon State and Stanford are both in the thick of it. This matchup has everything. There of course is the elite hitting of the Beavers (26-11, 8-7 Pac-12) where they will try and hack away at the strong pitching staff of the Stanford Cardinal (19-16, 7-8). Who’s going to win? Let’s break this series down. OSU batting vs. Stanford pitching OSU’s offense is ranked in the in the top-three of the conference in nearly every offensive category. They lead the Pac-12 in batting average, slugging percentage and runs per game. Of the eight players who have 100 at bats on the season, four players -- sophomore Christian Donahue, freshman Nick Madrigal, junior Logan Ice and sophomore Jack Anderson -- eclipse the .300 mark with Donahue batting .380. Three more players -- junior Trever Morrison,sophomore KJ Harrison and sophomore Kyle Nobach -- all have batting averages between .295 and .299. There aren’t many weak spots in the lineup. The Stanford pitching staff is essentially the Oregon State offense, in terms that they are the top staff in the conference the same way OSU is the top offense. They are the lone team in the

Pac-12 to have a team earned run average (ERA) lower than 3.0 and have the lowest opponents batting average. Tristan Beck, who has a 2.19 ERA, is the ace of a staff with five pitchers of a sub-3.0 ERA with at least 20 innings pitched. (Fun stat: Stanford has two two pitchers with an ERA of 0.00 and one pitcher with an ERA of 99.00.) Advantage: Oregon State, slightly OSU pitching vs Stanford hitting There is no Matt Boyd, Jace Fry, Ben Wetzler or Andrew Moore on the Beaver’s staff anymore. They no longer have Drew Rasmussen and Sam Tweedt, who suffered season-ending injuries. But they do have senior Travis Eckert and sophomore Luke Heimlich. Eckert, who has been thrust into the role of the team’s ace with the string on arm injuries that plagued the rotation, has been nearly unhittable at Goss Stadium. In his four home starts this season, Eckert has 0.89 ERA in 20 1/3 innings. In four starts since being inserted into the weekend rotation from the bullpen, Heimlich has pitched 28 1/3 innings, allowed only four runs on 16 hits. He is slated to make the start of Saturday. Only the Oregon Ducks have a lower team batting average than Stanford. As a team the Cardinal are batting .247 and have scored 164 runs this season, only four runs more than the lowest scoring team in the conference. The Cardinal are going to test the Beavers’ defense by putting the ball in play. As a team, they have the fewest number of strikeouts and walks in the conference. Advantage: Oregon State In the field: The Cardinal don’t make many mistakes in the field, they have only committed 18 errors on the season, by far the lowest in the Pac-12. For a quick comparison, Trever Morrison alone, has committed 10 errors on the season. Oregon State doesn’t have a bad defense by any stretch, but have committed nearly 27 more errors. Advantage: Stanford Coaching:

JOSHUA LUCAS | THE DAILY BAROMETER

KJ Harrison rounds third base against Washington on April 2. Mark Marquess is in his 40th season as the head coach, excuse me, Marquess is in his 40th season as the Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball at Stanford. He has 131 postseason wins and 14 College World Series appearances. Casey, who has ONLY been heading the Oregon State baseball program since 1995, has made four trips to the College World series-winning two--since 2005. Advantage: Push. Both these coaches/director of baseball have accomplished a great deal managing teams. Casey has the rings, Marquess has the longevity and is already a member of the American Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame. All-Name team: Oregon State has some pretty sweet baseball names, leading the way is Logan Ice. but then

there’s “Magical” Nick Madrigal, Scotland Church, Billy King and Tommy Paul (not to be confused with Tommy John). There are some gems in the Cardinal lineup as well. Beau Branton, Nick “Sounds like Conforto” Bellaforto, Colton Hock, Jesse Kuet, Daniel Starwalt. Advantage: Hock tips the scale to Stanford. How the series plays out: Oregon State has swept Stanford the past three seasons--winning 11 straight, but that was when Oregon State was a dominant program in the Pac-12. With questions still being resolved in Oregon State’s pitching staff, a third consecutive sweep may not happen. I’m taking the Beavers at home with a 2-1 series win. See you at Goss.

Off-campus hot spots for moms By Sean Bassinger Forum editor

o here we are again at Mom’s and Family weekend. Between the on-campus activities offered, the annual presentation of Sing and other performances, this arguably has to be one of the most entertaining times (especially when we hit after hours at the bars) of the year.

Sure enough, Oregon State University campus will be the place to hang out for a majority of visiting families. But maybe your family feels a bit adventurous and wants to learn more about the surrounding communities. What other options to do you have? Naturally, I could list restaurants and local businesses for days, but I’d rather not play favorites. Instead, here’s a list of multiple options for general activities while your mom and family unwind in (or near) Corvallis. Marys Peak Though it’s quite the drive out past Philomath, you won’t find a better getlost-in-nature viewing spot than Marys Peak. At an elevation of 4,097 feet, Marys Peak stands as the highest point of elevation in Oregon’s Coast Range, which makes it the most “prominent peak to the west of Corvallis,” accord-

Bald Hill Park Another excellent outdoor location on the edge of Corvallis, Bald Hill Park has multiple trails, beautiful trees and Regardless of (you guessed it) a magnificent hill with an extraordinary view. Bald Hill Park what you choose would be an ideal location for taking the to do, have a edge off and snapping some stunning blast and stay photos with mom and family. Make sure you’re properly dressed, though—the safe. hike up can get a little muddy at times. Avery Park This is by far one of the most classic must-visit locations in Corvallis. Between the flowers, open fields, playing to the United States Department of grounds (essential for those of you with Agriculture. You’ll likely want some sort super young siblings) and the classic of hiking gear or clothing If you plan train, Avery Park never disappoints. This on wandering out into the wilderness, is an ideal location for something that’s but the near-summit parking lot won’t not too far outside of Corvallis—the require much in the way of prepara- park entrance nearest to OSU is just past tion—just don’t forget your camera, Reser Stadium and off Western—and for someone who may be less prepared for binoculars or other viewing devices.

heavier adventures such as Bald Hill or Marys Peak. Historic downtown Corvallis If you’re not huge on hikes or nature walks, downtown Corvallis is an excellent stop for some restaurants, shops, bookstores and beautiful waterfront views. If you’re winding down from other activities, downtown is especially ideal for later night outings—a good portion of the bars and restaurants don’t close until 11 p.m., midnight or 2 a.m. Regardless of what you choose to do, have a blast and stay safe. Many of you will come to love the town as a home away from home (if it’s your first time here, that is). Party on, moms.

Take sustainability Addicting ‘Divinity’ issues more seriously does not disappoint By Mahalee Evans Forum contributor

arth Day—the modern environmental movement that started in the 1970’s is the “largest secular observance in the world,” according to the Earth Day Network. Since the ‘70s it has evolved into a theme that we now call “sustainability.” But what is sustainability? Is it planting trees? Is it saving the manatees? Most people don’t have a bigger picture idea of what working towards a sustainable planet involves. The problem with sustainability is that many just see it as a fad. It gets tweeted about and posted on Facebook, but most people miss the point in their square one-by-one snapshots on Instagram. Although unfortunate, it’s not necessarily the fault of the masses. Companies big and small play on the senses of consumers to make them think they are “helping the planet”, when in reality it’s just a scam. The Clorox Green Works line for example, isn’t actually any more environmentally friendly than the normal Clorox line. The compostable cleaning wipes rate in the high concern category for cancer, have longstanding respiratory effects and contain skin irritants

Greenwashing contributes to the dilemma of the sustainability fad.

and allergens, according to the Environmental Working Group. Clorox is one of many companies that partakes in “greenwashing.” Greenwashing comes from the term “whitewashing,” which is used in situations when companies use false language or other means to prevent people from learning the truth about their products. Greenwashing is similar but is used in an environmental context. Some other known products that partake in greenwashing are Volkswagen cars, Huggies diapers, Lululemon activewear and LG and Samsung refrigerators, according to the New York Times. Greenwashing contributes to the dilemma of the sustainability fad. Another big culprit is the fashion industry.

They advertise their “organic cottons” and shirts that say “Save the Planet,” but really do nothing to contribute to helping the planet themselves. But because being eco-friendly is so popular and fashionforward, they either have to keep up or shut up. On the same note, what does it really mean when companies say they are “eco-friendly”? By definition it means earthfriendly or not harmful to the environment, but companies can say they are eco-friendly all they want and as a consumer, it’s up to you to do the research on whether or not that is true. All of these things help to blind people into thinking that sustainability is about wearing the organic clothes and using the “green” cleaning products while the people who are actually trying to educate the public about what it really takes to lead a sustainable lifestyle get labeled extremists and paranoid. So if you care about this sort of thing, make sure to do your research before purchasing something that claims to be green. Don’t give them money for lying. And if you don’t care about this sort of thing, you should. The opinions expressed in Evans’s column do not necessarily reflect those of The Daily Barometer staff. baro.forum@oregonstate.edu

Split Screen, KBVR-TV

as the modern era of online gaming got you down? Longing for the old days of local multiplayer dungeon crawlers like “Gauntlet” and “Baldur’s Gate?” Consider picking up “Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition” for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Linux or Mac OS. With added console support, two-player split screen co-op and a ton of new game content, the enhanced edition of “Divinity: Original Sin” makes this game ideal for anyone who hates to game alone. “Divinity” is rich in game content with more than 100 hours of quests. It provides players with a massive open world environment that is filled to the brim with unique characters, storylines and—most importantly—loot. Players are free to explore this world as they please, but without close attention to detail they may quickly find themselves in over their heads. Outside of the starting city of Cyseal, “Divinity” is rampant with orcs and the undead, and nearby encounters are completely unforgiving to low level characters. Split Screen does not recommend leaving Cyseal until your characters reach level three and have a full party of four heroes (you start with two). In order to reach that level ,you will need to complete quests, which is where it gets interesting. When you accept a quest in “Divinity,” you will have to pay close attention to the dialogue with the quest giver, as that is where all of the details of the quest hide. You won’t get a mark on your map, so you’ll have to use these details—they are sometimes cryptic or misleading—to find your way to your objective. That’s right, this is a game that actually forces you to read and pay attention, rather than slamming on the X button until your thumb bleeds to get to the next fight.

But when you do get to the fight, “Divinity” does not disappoint on any front. With turnbased combat systems that utilize action points and allow you to control every character in your party or split them up between you and a friend, this game actually plays an awful lot like the tabletop classic “Dungeons & Dragons.” With its well developed world and in depth character customization, you might even forget you aren’t rolling dice. Your characters are quite customizable. You start the game by creating two main characters for the purposes of the main storyline, and you can recruit a variety heroes that you meet in the game to join your party. All your characters can be developed through the game’s classless leveling system, which allows you to choose from all the available skills, abilities and attributes for every character. You are given presets to start building your character off of, but these are just suggestions that could be changed as much as you like. You

You are rewarded for creating personalities for your character and developing personality traits comes with an increase in your stats. This game is kind of quirky in its attempt to be humorous. It drops a lot of pop culture references and even more puns. But combined with its cartoonish art style, this just serves to develop the game’s unique personality. One moment you’re stealing all the art out of the local inn, the next minute you’re arguing with Hilda on the ethics of grave robbing and then you’re fighting crabs, negotiating with zombie trolls and putting out boat fires. “Divinity” really lets you do almost anything, and often requires you to think creatively to solve problems. For example, early in the game your heroes come across a ship that has caught on fire. Standing near the fire and casting a “rain” spell will put it out, but there isn’t really anything to tell you that. You just might happen to have the rain spell, and think “maybe this will stop the fire.” This really keeps you on your toes and helps to create an involved game experience with open-

It isn’t perfect—there is no sprint and the camera if fixed in your choice of two less than ideal angles (fixed overhead or an almost painfully awkward isometric). But it just does so much right that all quirks are forgivable.

Letters to the editor

Look for ways to Stay aware of local, U.S. politics benefit horses lives As part of the Oregon State University community, I am excited to see some of my peers increase their political interest, and hope to see more raise their voices. We heavily criticize recent presidents’ decisions correctly, and often lose faith that our vote will make a difference, but rather just add ourselves to those responsible for the next disaster. However, when the populous does not vote, it gives more power to special interest groups that buy candidates in mutually favorable deals. These policies don’t generate the profit for the special interest groups out of nowhere; they are reaped from the paychecks and benefits of middle class workers. Several successful presidential candidates, especially Bernie Sanders, claim to be proponents of campaign finance reform, and some have campaigned in accordance with their proposed changes. This alone has inspired large turnouts of new voters willing to change the system that feeds off their personal well-being. Sanders has been insistent that this political revolution lives in the hearts of the

people rather than in his own candidacy, and that populist outsiders are also needed in national and state legislatures. For one, a local graduate student, Sami Al-AbdRabbuh, is running for the District 16 State House seat as a progressive Independent. Sami is an engineering systems thinking who believes legislature needs to be held responsible for investigating the full complexity of community issues with an analytical and innovative mindset. Sami is also well networked into the community through his many organization memberships and leadership responsibilities.

I am saddened that OSU, a pioneer in environmental sciences, would become involved in unethical, highly controversial experiments on protected wild horses. This issue has already brought unfavorable publicity to a great University. We can all do better. The Daily Barometer’s April 18 article on Wild Horse Sterilization Research stated that “BLM first contacted OSU and the School of Veterinary Medicine and asked them to examine three potential sterilization methods as a third party researcher and determine which one is the most safe and effective, according to VP Clark.” BLM cannot prepick its research partners. OSU competed for and won a grant of its own design to participate in these experiments. The proposed sterilization experiments would be performed on 225 wild mares and young fillies in a nonsterile outdoor pen without pre-operative or post-operative standard care. Invasive and highly risky surgeries using “inferior” veterinary methodologies would be performed on these already highly stressed animals. Many will die, according to the BLM’s own estimates.

The subjects of these brutish experiments, if they survive, would no longer be wild by nature. The experiments violate the guidelines of AAALAC, which accredits OSU’s animal research activities. They would also violate the law. The Bureau of Land Management has no statutory authority to conduct invasive experimentation on protected wild horses. Assistant Professor Dawn Sherwood asserted that wild horses are overpopulating, ruining the range and competing with other species. This is an old canard. Wild mustangs have long been accused of ruining the rangelands by commercial interests that treat federal lands as their private domain. Yet BLM statistics count 47,329 wild horses on federal lands totaling 31.6 million acres in 2015. On average, that amounts to 667.6 acres per horse — hardly an overpopulation. Dr. Gus Cothran, the leading U.S. specialist on equine genetics, maintains that the majority of BLM-managed wild horse herd areas are far below the population levels required for genetic viability. Livestock outnumber wild horses and burros by at least

37 to 1 on federal lands. Cattle typically congregate around water holes; predator-wary wild horses drink and move on. Cattle and sheep, having no upper teeth, use their palates to rip the grass and often uproot forage. Equines’ teeth clip the grass down. Unlike cattle, horses do not digest grass seeds but distribute them like “seed farmers.” They coexist with livestock and with many wild species. The Administration maintains that by simply observing and evaluating the proposed experiments, OSU will distance itself from the outcomes. Yet by enabling research that abuses protected animals, the University’s good name and the credibility of its students will be badly compromised. There’s time for a reset: reject this bogus research, and instead examine ways to better the lives of wild horses and burros through humane management practices by perfecting reversible methods of fertility control and by improving the range ecology for all species.

Sanders rallies in Springfield Presidential hopeful returns to Oregon for latest campaign stop

Sanders took to the stage just after noon for his “A Future to Believe In Rally,” and immediately dove into the issues that he has centered his campaign on, including campaign finance, college affordability and the youth vote, among others. “The young people are understanding that By Riley Youngman they are the future of this country,” Sanders News Editor Presidential candidate and current U.S. said, touching on the high level of involvement Senator Bernie Sanders made a campaign and support his campaign has seen this election stop in Springfield, OR, Thursday, drawing season from the younger demographics.

Alpha Omicron Pi and Delta Chi, a team in the competition, have been practicing their routine since week three winter term, according to Gretchen Leuthy, a coach of Alpha Omicron Pi and Delta Chi. “Over (sic) this last two terms we’ve honestly gotten really close to our partners, at first it didn’t start out that way, nobody really knew each other and it was really awkward. But we’ve had our chemistry grow a lot,” said Rebecca Albertson, a consultant for the team. “We’ve gotten a lot closer and I think that’s brought us a lot farther.” According to Albertson, the team dynamic was constructed through a regular schedule, as well as hanging out away from practice.

Consultants and coaches are all members of the fraternities and sororities they are members. One of the reasons for being a consultant is being able to use their years of training, according to Laci James, a consultant for Alpha Omicron Pi and Delta Chi. “I have been performing for 15 years,” James said. “I am able to teach them how to perform and teach them how to dance correctly.” Sing allows students from sororities and fraternities to bond, according to Albertson. The time spent together allows Sing participants to create lifelong friendships. “Outside of Sing there’s not many situations in which you have this much time to really get to know individuals within a different house,” Albertson said. “It’s just one of those college memories that everyone looks back on ten, 15 years from now.” baro.news@oregonstate.edu

U.S. Sen. and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders made a campaign stop in Springfield Thursday at his “A Future to Believe In” rally held at Island Park.

Sanders

Continued from page 11 referring to his rise in popularity among American voters. Despite losing four out of the last five state primaries, and an increase in the delegate count between Sanders and Clinton, Sanders remained adamant that he was still in the race to win the Democratic nomination. “This campaign is going to win because we are listening to ordinary people, not just campaign contributors,” Sanders said. At one point, Sanders called out the country for having one of the lowest national voter turnouts in the world. “The problem we are having now is not, in my view, that Republicans are winning elections. The problem is that the Democrats are losing elections,”

PACIFIC UNIVERSITY AUDIOLOGY

Sanders said before explaining that he believed the reason for low voter turnout among U.S. voters was because the Democratic Party has not been clear on which side they stand on in major issues that the country is facing. Sanders said that the every state in the U.S. should have automatic voter registration for every American over the age of 18, have same day registration and have open primaries. Sanders ended his speech by reminding those at the rally that primary ballots had been mailed out to registered voters and would be available immediately. He spoke for a little over an hour, then shook the hands of those that were nearest him as he was escorted by Secret Service agents away from the crowd. As of Thursday, Clinton led the Democratic race with 1,663 delegates and 520 superdel-

egates, compared to Sanders’ 1,367 pledged delegates and 39 superdelegates. According to a New York Times article, Michael Briggs, a spokesman for the Sanders campaign said that 225 staffers have been or will be laid off in the near future, an announcement that was made after Sanders’ losses in Tuesday’s primaries. Republican presidential candidate John Kasich was also in Oregon Thursday, making appearances in Portland and Medford, according to his campaign website. Oregon voters have until May 12 to request an absentee ballot if they have not received on yet, and until May 17 at 8 p.m. to return their absentee ballot for the 2016 Oregon primary. baro.news@oregonstate.edu
