As students rush to be presentable for their moms this weekend, local shops are gearing up for extra business.

“This weekend has the largest economic impact in the community,” said Linda Howard, Memorial Union Program Council adviser.

Howard expects that the Moms and Family Weekend comedy show at LaSells Stewart Center, which holds 2,400 seats, will be nearly sold out. MUPC has also invited more than 130 art festival vendors for Moms Weekend.

Moms and Family Weekend allows businesses to make extra income with the extra people — and, thus, extra money — in town. “[Moms and Family Weekend] is the busiest weekend of the whole year,” said Cindy Tran, owner of Tokyo Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar. Cloud Davidson, owner of Cloud emma-kate schaake | THE DAILY BAROMETER and Kelly’s Public House, said Jessica Klein, owner of Mod Pod, assists a customer in her store on Thursday.

A former OSU football player pleaded guilty Thursday to stealing DVDs from K-Mart and Grocery Outlet and to possession of heroin.

Benjamin James Motter, 24, of Philomath, pleaded guilty to one count each of theft I, burglary I, robbery III and possession of heroin. In exchange, the Benton County District Attorney’s Office dismissed six counts of property and drug crimes in four different cases.

Motter was sentenced by Judge William A. Locke to 36 months of formal probation with an eight-year suspended sentence. He must complete the Benton County Drug Treatment Court Program and have no contact with any of the victims involved in these cases.

“I am extremely sorry for my actions and am grateful to the court for giving me a chance to turn my life around,” Motter said.

Police arrested Motter on April 5 after he stole two backpacks and 69 DVDs — worth more than $1,000 — from K-Mart and a reusable bag full of DVDs from Grocery Outlet, where he had a scuffle with an employee.

Motter also broke into a home and stole Xbox games and controllers. He tried to sell his bounty to the local Gamestop, which reported the attempt to police.

After the arrest, a search warrant was issued for his red Ford Explorer, where authorities found baggies with heroin residue and a Nike bag containing a digital scale, bent spoon, used and unused cotton swabs, tourniquet and used syringes.

His attorney Robert Corl Jr. said he is a “young man who has done very well with his education and athletics” and had “used Oxycodone as a form of medical treatment for a lower spine injury.” After his prescription ran out, he discovered that heroin was cheaper, Corl said. That led to “incredibly poor judgement.”

The Oregon Supreme Court meets with Pre-Law society to talk about real aspects of law

By Kate Virden

The Daily Barometer

The American flag stood proudly next to the Oregon flag, and seven inky black cloaks behind a table clad with microphones facing the lone podium and eclectic audience of OSU students, staff and Corvallis residents — all in professional attire — sat with eyes wide open and anticipation to learn.

The Oregon State University Pre-Law Society invited the Oregon Supreme Court to campus for two oral arguments on Thursday.

The court’s arguments were open to the public. The majority of the audience in LaSells Stewart Center consisted of Oregon State students interested in pursuing law.

After the two arguments, there was a lunch where students were able to interact one-on-one with their state justices and learn more about the practice of law.

Justice Dave Brewer had only good things to say about the experience. He spoke about the importance of meeting students and hearing their questions.

“It’s the best experience as a judge,” Brewer said.

Brewer and fellow Justice Martha Walters both highlighted the realities of going into law.

Part of the goal of the event was to shed light on the true aspects of law. Kathryn Kennemer, a senior double majoring in political science and psychology, is president of the Pre-Law Society, and she acknowledged that inviting the justices to OSU has never happened before.

Justices and lawyers are known to pay extreme attention to the details in their cases. For instance, the second case was Noble v.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife. The actual case was argued less than the question of the definition of a stream because that could impact the final verdict.

The attorney in charge of civil appeals at the Department of Justice, Denise Fjordbeck, explained the process the justices take when coming to a decision. She said the time frame is often six months, during which the justices learn all the things they can about the case, including the little details, and might start on one side of the argument and change somewhere in the time frame.

ROTC detachments come together for annual review Once a year, the detachments of Oregon State University’s Reserve Officer Training Programs come together and march side-by-side.

Today at 10 a.m., the ROTC programs — Army, Navy and Air Force — will participate in a Joint Services Review in the Memorial Union quad. This year, the Navy ROTC has organized the event.

Previously, the event was put together by the Air Force ROTC. The ROTC attachments will have their presentation judged, as is customary at the event. Julie Mannning, mayor of Corvallis, will be this year’s guest speaker and reviewer.

An open reception will be held after the review at 11 a.m. in the Memorial Union. The event is free and open to the public.

MOTTER n Continued from page 1 ditions set in court,” Deputy District Attorney Michael Wynhausen said, “the state will have no problem prosecuting, proceeding a parole violation, to apply the eight-year prison sentence.”

The program will provide a “change of thinking, and I am eager to work with you through this journey,” Locke said.

Motter played 14 games in his college football career, 11 as a senior, when he recorded 13 tackles for the Beavers, including one tackle-for-loss and a forced fumble. He began his career on the offensive line and later moved to defensive tackle before the 2010 season.

Motter was pursuing a degree in exercise and sports science and was scheduled to graduate in March.

Editorial

Yeas & nays Y

ea to — holy cow, it really is, it’s actually spring, really actually spring!

Nay to all the warm weather making us think this might have something to do with global warming and other things that keep us up at night, like that paper we should be writing.

Yea to good-looking men not wearing shirts. We like muscles and such.

Nay to men running around shirtless when it’s only 65 degrees out. We get it, bro, you spent all winter in the gym, guzzling down protein powder and getting swoll. But just because the sun came out and it’s a nice day does not mean you get to go shirtless.

Put it back on; there are rules here.

Yea to ASOSU Congress finally getting around to proposing legislation.

Nay to the fact that it required a deadline for them to actually get off their tushes and do something for once.

Yea to OSU baseball for sweeping USC last weekend — we enjoyed watching the wins.

Yea to Maggie Doremus — and all sorts of athletes and people in general — who work hard and stick with things and their team.

Nay to the almost empty classrooms we are now seeing. Just because the sun is out does not mean you get to skip class.

Yea to moms and moms weekend.

Nothing we could ever write could sum up how great moms are. We love you, Mom. Yea to Jason Collins coming out this week. We’re proud of him, and we’re glad to live in a society that is more and more accepting every day.

Nay to people who still think that whatever a person’s orientation is poses a problem. Get over your antiquated ideas.

Yea to Damian Lillard winning Rookie of the Year.

Nay to the NBA being rigged.

Yea to puppies with Frisbees.

Nay to people who bring dogs to class or to work. Unless, of course, you need one because you are blind, or your job requires one because you are a police officer, or you dismantle bombs. Otherwise, you should probably keep your pet at home. They are distracting.

Yea to all the fun activities going on campus this weekend and next week.

Nay to still having to go to class instead of just having fun.

Nay to factories not being safe and workers dying in a completely preventable disaster.

Yea to the weekend forecast of sunshine and warm weather.

Nay to the stack of books we need to read this weekend to catch up.

Yea to making it to the halfway mark in the term — it’s all downhill from here.

Yea to it being yet another Friday.

Enjoy the sunshine and call your mom and tell her you love her if she doesn’t visit this weekend. And for those of you seeing your mom, take her out to a nice dinner and tell her you love her. She’ll really like it. Stay classy, Corvallis. t

‘Ask an ethicist’ Greetings members of the Oregon State University community. My name is Thomas McElhinny, and with the help of my cohorts in the applied ethics master’s program here at OSU, I would like to help address any ethical conundrums, concerns and challenges we might face.

Discussing ethical concerns, and morality more generally, are often volatile conversations. Questions concerning what it might mean to live a “good” life,

how to act when values conflict and how to cultivate ethical habits are long standing and important avenues of inquiry. Every week I intend to offer my perspective on situations sourced from the OSU community, and perhaps punctuate by answering emails with original content I find important, interesting and nutritive.

Speaking of emails: I need your help. Do you have an interesting ethical question or situation in your life? Email me at: AskAnEthicistOSU@gmail.com.

It can be anything from a concern about lifestyle

choices, conflicts with neighbors or business practices here in Corvallis. Surely, this is not an exhaustive list and I expect to see some novel questions.

My aim in this column is not simply about “solving” ethical puzzles, but about engaging the OSU community in a discourse centered on ethical issues. I hope this column will not only unlock some of the expertise already available in our networks, but expand it.

See you next week.

Disclose housing information to future student renters D

ear Ask an Ethicist, I am finishing up my final year here with OSU and the city of Corvallis. While my experience has been largely positive, my current land-lord is an unresponsive check-cashing machine with a reputation for taking an unjustifiably large portion of “refundable” damage deposits. In addition to this, there are facets of my current house, which seemed nice initially, but are lacking.

If any duties, what do I have to inform future student renters of unforeseen and undesirable aspects of their future rental situation?

-Senior Itus Thank you for your submission, Senior. Corvallis is most certainly a renter’s market, as far as temporary housing goes. Finding affordable housing near campus can be quite difficult once one becomes aware

Thomas McElhinny

The Daily Barometer he or she is are looking for a place to study as opposed to party. As the going rate for a room near campus edges toward $500 per month, picking a place to live, frequently for at least a year, is an important decision.

While I can certainly understand why landlords and management companies charge damage deposits for students, a notoriously destructive population, Oregon does have certain protections and obligations for tenants. Don’t be another reason for landlords to distrust the student population, act like adults. Still, everyone who rents should take a look at Oregon Tenant Rights and Duties to ensure the implicit contract between renters and landlords are observed

above and beyond their lease. If you believe your landlord is not living up to his or her responsibilities, the student fee supported Office of Student Legal Services can be a great asset.

I have been very lucky in my time here in Corvallis to rent from a number of good-humored folks. That said, over half of my closest friends have had to sue their landlords in the past.

One such friend was even invited to a taping of Judge Joe Brown to seek remediation for a past-due refund of his damage deposit. According to the law, landlords “must account for the deposit within 31 days after the termination of the tenancy and the return of possession to the landlord.”

As for your obligation to inform future renters, it seems clear that we, as students, should work together to ensure a better housing market for all of us. Of course there will continue to

be a flood of willing tenants, but over time I believe that solidarity between us will be beneficial. If your landlord fails to repair faulty facilities in a timely manner, you should certainly pass this information along to new tenants so that a landlord cannot blame the damage on both of you and collect twice. If this has the double effect of signaling to prospective tenants that they should not move in, so be it.

We, as student renters, should be working together and with landlords to reach a happy medium wherein folks that damage property are accountable, and the rest of us find quality housing and management. t

For the record, the decision was based on the right to privacy.

I find it interesting how Murga states that prolife people need to take a women’s studies class when the pro-life movement is made of roughly half women according to a 2011 Gallup poll, among other polls. Murga also hypocritically tells pro-lifers that slamming their beliefs on other people is asinine when he is doing the exact same thing. Murga brings out the classic line “if you do not like abortions, then don’t get one.” I wonder if he would agree, then, with “if you do not like guns, then don’t get one.”

The sum of Murga’s viewpoint seems to be that his beliefs are the only valid ones because he says so, and those who don’t agree with him are sexist, sign-toting fanatics with no arguments to stand on. And now we get to the purpose of my playing devil’s advocate: Murga’s beliefs do no service to the pro-choice movement. He is misinformed, prejudiced and belittling. Some of his arguments are decent, but enough are either logically inconsistent or based on outright falsehoods so as to render his entire work questionable. The prochoice movement needs intelligent advocates, not half-baked demagogues.

ost of us take our standard of living for granted. We have huge technological advancements, such as the move of everything to the Internet. We also have incremental changes in products, such as the increased comfort in shoes. We get these marvelous goods and services thanks to entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs are vital to the economy, taking risks by employing those who won’t risk everything to start a business.

Sure, janitors perform “dirty” work, but entrepreneurs provide the jobs to do the dirty work when others fear the risk.

Entrepreneurs are heroes and deserve some of the highest praise for their deeds to society.

Entrepreneurs see a need in the market to be filled and bring that service or product to the consumers. They invest time, money, work and anything they can to succeed because failure means unemployment and no income.

Nothing breeds innovation like necessity, and necessity allows entrepreneurship to bring us services and entertainment like restaurants and sports.

Entrepreneurs introduced and utilized machines to perform work for us, making employees more productive. Like Henry Ford’s assembly line, which made more cars than any other competitor, lowering his price and allowing more people to own cars.

Entrepreneurs took risks with untested technologies in an attempt to profit, but actually advanced society by satisfying the people. Andrew Carnegie risked everything by building the first steel bridge, which crossed the Mississippi in St. Louis. The risks he took — his business and life — brought us a greater society.

The advancement of society comes from entrepreneurs and the risks they are willing to assume. Not everyone can

We love our moms “I love my mother.”

It’s a phrase that isn’t said enough — by me and most other people.

I had a much different upbringing than most. It was just my mom and I. There were no siblings other than a half-sister who lives in Florida with my dad.

But we made do.

My first real memory in my life is when my mom told me we were going to a baseball game. We lived in Pleasanton, Calif., which is a 15-minute drive from the East Bay. She asked if I wanted to go see the San Francisco Giants or the Oakland A’s.

My response: “I’ve heard of the Giants before, so let’s go see the A’s.” Both of us have been diehard fans since 1997.

When I was in second grade, we moved to Oregon — where my mom had lived for most of her life. We settled in Eugene and have lived in this beautiful state since.

The list of things I’ve learned from my mom could go on for 2,000 words, but the most important things — sympathy, critical thinking, kindness, how to read and write well — are the ones that will remain for the rest of my life.

It’s never easy being a single parent, and only one child in the house makes the dynamic stranger.

Looking back 21 years later, she did an impressive job as a mother, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

I love my mother.

-Warner Strausbaugh Managing editor *** My relationship with my mother isn’t necessarily a typical one. Especially considering I’m her firstborn — and, let’s face it Mom, the clear-cut favorite child — we’ve never really interacted like a lot of mothers and sons do.

This little anecdote sums my mom up perfectly: For my 21st birthday, she took one of my best friends and me to Reno, Nev. She helped teach me how to gamble and made sure there was always a drink in my hand.

She insisted we pull allnighters to take in everything the city had to offer.

Probably not what the prototypical mother would have done.

While she’s always wanted me to succeed, my mom was always the first person to heckle me when I struck out in my high school baseball games or did anything embarrassing. A lot of moms would probably yell at others for doing those sorts of things to their children, but she always instigated it.

We spend half of our time making fun of each other (I’m way better at it than she is), but we always enjoy our time together.

When she comes to visit this Sunday, I expect the first thing out her mouth will be something insulting and potentially vulgar. I can’t wait to fire back with something much worse.

My mom may have never coddled me, but she succeeded in preparing me for life. We don’t always finish our phone conversations with “I love you,” but that’s because we don’t have to.

Everyone always says they have the best mom in the world. But those people are all wrong. I do.

I love you, Mommy. Happy early Mother’s Day. P.S. This counts as a Mother’s Day gift, right?

-Andrew Kilstrom Sports editor *** My mom is a wonderful teacher. Not only does she educate as a profession, she also leads me by her example. Any time I think critically of others or jump to conclusions, my mom teaches me that if we all lived for each other, we would all make the world a much better place to live in.

Back when I had blond curly hair, living in the Bay Area, my mom always gave the most she could. When we moved to Oregon, that same care never faded. To this day, she teaches me how to care for others, how to ask questions, listen to what others have to say and how to see that everyone on this planet is worthwhile.

You’re the best, Ma. Love, -Jack Lammers News editor *** A woman with the desire to have 11 children is one of two things: crazy, or — no, I take it back, just crazy. My mother is crazy, but she is also supportive, loving, truly altruistic and has a great sense of humor. How else would she deal with paint spilling on her brand new carpet (note to all you

fort-makers, don’t use gallons of paint to hold up the sheets), watching the same episode of Veggie Tales 874 times or dozens of broken video cameras because the 5-year-old with sticky fingers also happens to be the next Steven Spielberg?

These things didn’t matter, as long as we were happy.

And we were.

The best advice my mom ever gave me was to hold onto family. Things, hobbies and friends may all come and go, but you’re stuck with your family forever. So you might as well get along. The older I get, the more I realize she couldn’t be more right.

While being the real-life “Cheaper by the Dozen” had its ups and downs, one thing is for absolute certain: I cherish every second of it. I think my 10 siblings would agree that the love we have for life and each other is all thanks to our mother.

So here’s to my mom. When I grow up, I hope I’m half as wonderful as you.

I love you.

-Jackie Seus Photo editor *** Often, my mom says she grew up with me and my brothers. Now that I’m closing in on the age she was when she had me, I completely understand that.

Having been raised with two brothers, I don’t

usually hang out with or relate well to women.

But my mom is my best friend. Whenever I have an issue, be it extremely private or something like needing a toothbrush, I know I can call her.

She’s always worried she didn’t give us enough, or that she wasn’t there for us when she went back to college. Despite what she thinks, she has never let me, or my brothers, down.

She’s never wanted to hold us back and keep us tucked away in her house so we could spend forever together. She’s always encouraged us to explore. She is a strong, intelligent woman. And she’s a fantastic mother.

Even when I totaled the mini van, tattooed my collarbone, spent all night driving up the mountains with my friends and skipped classes for a Taco Bell run — because, it’s high school, and Taco Bell is far more interesting — I knew she’d be there for me. She may have been fuming with rage, but she was still there.

From my mom, I’ve learned how to excel in this world. I’ve learned how to advocate for myself. She taught me how to care for others and to think things through before impulsively reacting. She’s been the biggest role model in my life.

I love you, Mom. -Megan Campbell Forum editor

The defense, in particular, has improved since Smith returned from a hand injury.

Most of the Beavers’ errors have come in the infield this season, but Smith’s defensive play has improved the unit’s play recently.

“Being away from the game was tough, especially watching us have some defensive struggles,” Smith said. “I was ready to go right away and help them defensively and offensively. Defense has always been the strength of my game and I felt like I’ve kept getting better every year.”

Smith looked better at the plate from weeks past against USC. He went 5-for-14 over the weekend.

The Oregon State track and field team will look to continue its success this weekend with athletes at the Oregon Twilight in Eugene at Hayward Field, and at the Pacific Twilight in Forest Grove.

Only a few athletes, sophomore Kinsey Gomez, freshman Emily Weber and junior Taylor Nowlin, will be sitting out this weekend, resting, and preparing for the Pac-12 Championships next weekend.

In a race that was set up specifically for them to shine, Gomez and Weber stole the show at last Friday’s home meet in the 1500-meter race, taking first and second place, respectively.

At Hayward Field, freshman Morgan Anderson and Hayley Hunt will run unattached in the 1500-meter race. Lauren Graebner, Ashley Mayfield and Maureen Tremblay will join Hunt in the second heat of the 1500-meter race. Carly Januzzi will represent the Beavers in the 800-meter and Taylor Hunt in the 400-meter race.

In field events, freshman Sara Almen will join freshman Lucinda Howard and Kristin Oenning in the high jump for only her second outdoor meet this season. When high-jumping for the Beavers during her indoor season, Almen was just shy off the qualifying mark to go to nationals. The national indoor tournament takes the top 16 athletes and Almen was ranked 19th with her jump of

Men’s rowing competes at Windermere Cup n

Oregon State is expecting to compete in front of up to 30,000 spectators on Saturday in Seattle

By Sarah Kerrigan The Daily Barometer

The Oregon State men’s rowing team heads to Seattle on Saturday for their final set of races before the Pac-12 Championships against the toughest competition the Beavers have faced to date. “We are pretty excited we get to race some out-of-conference opponents,� said head coach Steve Todd. “It is a really good opportunity to compare ourselves to some teams that we won’t see until nationals.�

Oregon State will face No. 1 Washington and two nonconference opponents, Dartmouth and Cornell. “It is a really big race for us,� said sophomore coxswain Eric Sumner. “We haven’t had a chance to race any East Coast

schools.�

Last weekend, the Beavers faced No. 2 California with the gameplan of focusing on internal achievement instead of comparison.

The team came away from last weekend with good personal times and with the realization that they still have another step or two to take before they are ready to compete in the Pac-12 Championship, Todd said.

The Windermere Cup is the largest event that Oregon State will attend. There can be upwards of 30,000 spectators for the day’s races, which include more than just the collegiate level. “It’s a bigger atmosphere than our national championship and our Pac12 Championships,� Todd said. “But it is not as important, so it’s a different atmosphere.�

Despite this race not having the importance of the Pac-12 Championships or

nationals, the team is still looking to treat this as another steppingstone in its season. “Windermere is just a really fun event because there are so many boats, it’s a great vibe and really loud,� Sumner said.

The loud and busy atmosphere could end up hurting the Beavers if they are unable to maintain focus throughout the races. However, Todd and the rowers feel confident since most know what it will be like after competing there last year.

The team is focusing on their starts for this weekend: Getting off clean and really driving for the first half of the race. “The start is a particular point of emphasis this week,� Todd said. “That is what we are going to have to do to be competitive with Washington, Dartmouth and Cornell.

Berg committed to putting Cavestany at the top of the order against Oregon, but said she might “shake things up� otherwise, in preparation for the postseason.

One thing Berg isn’t likely to mess with is the pitching staff. Senior Tina Andreana

has taken her game to new heights the past couple of weeks, allowing just three earned runs in her last 29 innings of work. Senior Marina Demore, who’s started OSU’s last three Saturday games, has won her last two decisions.

After facing Oregon, the Beavers will close out the regular season at home against No. 18 UCLA next weekend.

After that, they’ll likely learn

where they’ll be sent for the postseason. “Even though we passed 30 [wins], we should take every team from here on out the same as we’ve been doing these past six games,� Garcia said. “It can only get better for us. We’ll see how the postseason ends up.�

Baseball beat reporters chatting about Oregon State The college baseball season is nearing its end, and Oregon State is once again in the postseason mix. Sitting atop the Pac-12 standings, OSU looks to lock up the conference championship and prepare for a potential run to the College World Series. Sports editor Andrew Kilstrom has covered the team for two years, and managing editor Warner Strausbaugh has covered the team this past season. Like the football conversation they had a couple weeks ago, the two had a discussion about OSU’s outlook in a loose, streamof-consciousness format.

Commentary from after the conversation occurred will appear in parentheses.

Here’s the transcribed conversation: Kilstrom: Do you think the starting rotation’s the best in the nation? I don’t know a ton about other starting rotation’s, but all three guys for OSU have under a twoearned-run average.

Strausbaugh: I know that Arkansas is the only team that has a better ERA than the Beavers.

AK: So, probably?

WS: I guess.

AK: It’s funny, because that’s probably not even Oregon State’s best three pitchers. They have been this season, but I have to imagine that if [Jace] Fry were healthy, he’d be in that rotation somewhere.

WS: Yeah, when the season started it was [Ben] Wetzler as the ace, [Dan] Child as the No. 2 and [Matt] Boyd No. 3.

AK: With Fry coming back any day now, what kind of impact do you think he’ll have? [Head coach Pat] Casey said he’s going to come out of the bullpen, but do you think he’ll stick to that?

WS: I think the only way he starts a game is if he’s in Omaha. (I still hold true to that statement, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts in the final series of the season against Washington State.

That’s assuming OSU has the conference locked up by then.)

AK: I could see Casey sending him out there if he’s healthy and OSU needs him.

(That’s not really true. I’d actually expect him to start Fry.) WS: [Oregon State] needed four [starters] when they won [the national championship in 2006], and I think he’d rather go with Fry, if he looks good and healthy, than Child at this point.

AK: I’m really curious, if it meant winning a College World Series, how long Casey would leave him out there.

He would have been back for

Andrew

Kilstrom

@AndrewKilstrom about a month at that point.

WS: Assuming he’s back for the Oregon series, that would put him at exactly a month.

I really don’t know; it will be interesting. And as good as [Andrew] Moore’s been, how much trust do you give him in that scenario? But then again, Moore does have as much experience as Fry. (Yeah, definitely trust the guy with a sub-2.00 ERA over the guy coming back from Tommy John. But I still think Fry could potentially start in Omaha if things play out that way. He’s the forgotten man on this team, but his numbers last year were impressive for a freshman.)

AK: I trust Moore. His worst start I think he gave up four runs. That’s pretty solid for an entire year. (It’s crazy how good Moore has been. I interviewed him for a feature earlier this week for the first time and he’s a really cool guy too, one of the better interviews I’ve had at the Barometer.)

WS: I know. Having those five options to start is unreal.

We don’t really know what other teams’ rotations around the nation look like, but at least in the Pac-12 it doesn’t seem like there’s a team— (Andrew cuts off Warner) AK: There are other guys on the roster that could give you six innings, too. [Taylor] Starr and [Scott] Schultz have done it before. (Schultz could start on pretty much any other team in the Pac-12.

I’d be willing to say he could start for any Pac-12 team, actually.)

WS: Even UCLA, who has the second-best rotation in the league, their third starter has screwed up the Sunday games.

In their last three series, they’ve won Friday and Saturday but lost Sunday.

AK: Oh jeez, buzz kill.

UCLA’s just like OSU and Oregon, too. Their offense is pretty average. (In my opinion, OSU and Oregon are a noticeable step above every one else in the conference this year. Both offenses are probably average, but OSU’s is significantly better. Their starting rotation is, too.)

WS: Yeah, between those three schools, Oregon State definitely has the best offense.

AK: I was reading Baseball America and they think Oregon State has the better offense.

WS: By the way, I was doing some research for baseball

power rankings and [Michael] Conforto, before this weekend, was 8-for-43 since the UCLA series. That’s .186 he hit for a month. (College baseball stats bug me. I can’t find anything aside from the obvious stats and end up spending three hours researching too much for power rankings that approximately seven people read.)

AK: That’s a long time.

That’s surprising. That’s by far the biggest slump of his career. He hadn’t really slumped at all until then. Do you think their lineup can actually win a College World Series if they score three, four runs a game?

WS: I think it’s a better lineup than the ’06 team and the ’07 team. They didn’t have a player like Conforto. They had [Cole] Gillespie, but he’s not really the same.

AK: Yeah, but his numbers were unreal his senior year.

WS: They also had those double barrel bats, though.

AK: True. (2 Chainz) WS: There’s going to be a lot of cuts to this, I can tell.

AK: Pretty much all of it. We suck. (I really did cut a lot of it.) OK, lefty bats. They really only have three they can rely on in Conforto, [Kavin] Keyes and [Danny] Hayes.

That can’t be good.

WS: Max Gordon’s having an underrated season, though.

AK: Yeah, but how much has he played? (Max, I’ve always been impressed with your haircut and/or facial hair. Those muttonchops last year were incredible; bring them back.)

WS: [Joey] Matthews played a lot more than him in the beginning of the year, but Gordon has more at-bats now.

AK: I feel like Matthews is really good at the plate. I can’t figure out why he doesn’t play more.

WS: Eh, I don’t know.

AK: He smoked one off Carlos Rodriguez at practice the other day. So, basically, he’s the best ever. (Also, I learned the other day that Matthews broke his face from a line drive in the preseason practice and acted like it was nothing. I would’ve balled my eyes out.)

WS: [laughs] But Gordon’s on-base percentage is something like .418. You should look it up, though, before you put it in.

AK: (Gordon’s on-base percentage is actually .432.

Warner totally underestimated Gordon. Also, Warner rarely laughs at my jokes, so this was a definite highlight of my life.)

WS: Him and [Ryan] Barnes are the only ones that have more walks than strikeouts.

Warner

Strausbaugh @WStrausbaugh AK: I know him. (I played with Barnes in high school, one of my few claim to fames.

But when I say played, I really mean rode the bench. No, seriously. He’s a year older than me, and I barely even made the playoff roster that year. I sucked.)

WS: Yeah... (I can’t count how many times Andrew has mentioned that he played with Barnes in high school. It’s kind of pathetic. Note the use of “kind of ” there. Had to soften the blow.)

AK: OK, last thing. Do you think if OSU gets to Omaha, and the offense falters, and they score three or four runs a game, they can really win a College World Series? I don’t

think so. I think they need to get hot at the right time.

WS: If you want to talk about an X-factor, and I hate using that term, it has to be Dylan Davis. (I really do hate “X-Factor.” Who the hell thought of that? But there’s no other word for guy-whois-valuable-to-the-team-butisn’t-the-best-player-but-ifthe-team-wants-to-win-atitle-he-needs-to-performwell. OK, X-Factor it is.)

AK: He has been their best hitter this year, at least statistically. (Davis leads the Beavers in batting average and doubles. He can also throw a baseball 100 miles per hour, in case you were wondering.)

WS: He’ll have to be big down the stretch. And [Danny] Hayes, he’s a guy we’ve talked about.

AK: Yeah, the middle of the lineup will have to deliver if OSU really wants to win the whole thing. (I don’t want to

Downtown Corvallis

sound like OSU can’t win the College World Series. If they get hot like in 2006-07, they could totally do it. I definitely think they’re the best team in the Pac-12.)

AK: That makes me think of another thing, actually, the last thing. What about their remaining schedule?

OSU has Cal and WSU left but Stanford and Oregon as well.

WS: Appel is so good. But I think the Oregon series will decide who wins the Pac-12.

AK: I can’t wait to go to that. Their press box is awesome. (No offense to Goss, but PK Park is legit. First, it’s gigantic. Goss’ press box is tiny, I usually don’t even get a seat up there. Second, there’s unlimited hotdogs and fountain drinks. Does it get any better than that?)

When the sun comes out in Oregon, everyone wants to head outside to soak it all up — including the animals.

Deemed one of the most popular annual events in Corvallis by regular visitors, the Oregon State University Pre-Veterinary Medical Association will be hosting its 26th annual Pet Day on Saturday. During the event, OSU students, staff and community members are encouraged to bring their four-legged friends out for a day of fun in the sun.

Beginning at 9 a.m., all pet owners are invited to enjoy a scenic 5K run with their pets through the OSU campus. Event organizers ask that all participants please keep their pets on leashes throughout the day’s events.

The rest of the activities will take place at Magruder Hall and will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission to the event is free and open to the public, but a few of the activities have small participation fees.

Among the most anticipated activities to be featured this year include Cow Pie Bingo, a fundraising event held by the Pre-Vet Club, where attendees will bet upon which squares a cow will defecate on.

Other activities to be featured include dog nail trims and massages, visits by rescue groups with adoptable pets, and a pet costume contest open to all species.

There are more than just the classical domesticated pets to be seen during Pet Day. Other booths and displays will feature llamas, goats and even reptiles.

“The reptile display in the Magruder lobby is very cool,” said Lyn Smith-Gloria, public information specialist for the College of Veterinary Medicine. “Some of the snakes are gorgeous and the Oregon Herpetological Society will even let you hold them.”

Many vendors and organizations will have booths at the event filled with information, free samples and other resources related to pet care.

In addition to the array of pet-related activities and events, members from the OSU College of Pharmacy will also be participating.

Representing their “One Health, One World” philosophy, the college will be offering free blood pressure and diabetes screenings to those who attend.

The College of Pharmacy also announced in a recent press release that it will be sharing information on the importance of hygiene and

Sophomore Erica Foster, a zoology major, is currently studying to become a veterinarian and hopes to someday be working at a zoo. By attending Pet Day last year, her love for both the major and the OSU community even stronger.

“I had a really good time at last year’s event, and I can’t wait to experience it all again this year,” Foster said. “It’s a great way to meet new people, play around with animals you don’t usually get the chance to see and learn more about every aspect of pet care imaginable.”

Pet Day is created, organized and staffed by students in the College of Veterinary Medicine.

It is their way of giving back to the community and continuing the legacy of public service at Oregon State.

Each year, Pet Day events are made possible due to sponsorship from the College of Veterinary Medicine and support from numerous local and national organizations, including Banfield Pet Hospital, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Zoetis, Bayer Animal Health, Nestle Purina PetCare Co., the Oregon Animal Health Foundation and the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
