Members of Delta Gamma sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity took home first place in the 77th annual Sing competition. Coming in second place was Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and in third was Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. The Sing competition took place on Friday. The night consisted of 11 performances from pairs of men’s and women’s organizations, with each performance containing three songs. A panel including George Caldwell, Amy Hendrix, Karen Swanger and Dr. Brad Townsend, reviewed and scored the performances. During intermission, two OSU groups — Outspoken, the men’s a capella group, and Hui o Hawai’i, OSU’s Hawaiian club — performed for the audience. Along with the first, second and third place awards, some of the other awards given were for best vocals, a tie between Kappa Kappa Gamma

The International Spring Festival included booths, food, games and live performances from many different cultures, and was hosted by the International Students of Oregon State University. Volunteers laid out a large culinary spread with food from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East to accompany the festivities, which took place on Sunday. “We are here; we are visible,” said Ugo Uba, director of ISOSU. Uba, a senior majoring in psychology and minoring in Spanish, hoped that sharing this festival with others would convey the sense of community these cultures have at OSU. “We may not be of the dominant culture, but we feel that [what] we have to offer to the public is just as important, and people need to get educated about the work we do,” Uba said. Some booths had pamphlets about the respective culturally centered clubs, while others had games and other entertainment. David Ni, event coordinator for ISOSU and a senior in the undergrad pre-pharmacy program, said the International Spring Festival has always been about sharing existing cultural communities at OSU, including cultural affiliates and clubs. “We forged our program with the intention of it being as inclusive and wide as possible,” Ni said. “This year’s Spring Festival will be unique in that we’re taking on a new challenge of incorporating a variety of international BBQ items to our menu.” According to Suzanna Shakya, the internal community coordinator and a senior in civil engineering, one of ISOSU’s goals was to make the diverse cultures present at OSU visible to the larger community. She hoped for attendees to learn about cultures different than their own. “I hope that this provides an opportunity, not only for the larger OSU community, to learn about cultures other than their own,” Shakya said. “But I also hope that this festival gives people a chance to engage and learn about the global issues as well.” Shakya hopes that when students see ISOSU’s work, they will be encouraged to join ISOSU or become involved in extra-curricular activities at OSU. The cultures represented at ISOSU’s International Spring Festival vary from year to year so next year, so there is no telling what next year will bring.

about how great it was to see the students representing “what we’ve taught them” in relation to the history of the military. Julie Manning, the mayor of Corvallis, gave a speech about the importance of each ROTC student remembering the reason they joined the service as they continue on through college and life. “ROTC is already actively involved in serving the community,” Manning said. Throughout Manning’s speech, the units stood perfectly still. Army ROTC student Ashley Clarke said the event required “lots of practice and discipline.” The discipline was evident when the students marched perfectly in time to the drum cadence. During the presenting of the colors, the ROTC students and the spectators stood still and silent as the branches carried out tradition. Kate Virden, news reporter news@dailybarometer.com

Ya’an earthquake affects Oregon State n

Chinese Association raises funds to provide assistance to victims of Ya’an earthquake By Kyle Reed The Daily Barometer

The Chinese Association at OSU is holding a fundraiser in response to the earthquake that struck Ya’an, China, on April 20. The earthquake, which measured a magnitude of 7.0, left 196 dead and more than 11,500 injured. The tremor also displaced many Chinese residents, leaving more than 2 million homeless. More than 1,300 aftershocks

were felt following the quake. “It’s sad to say that every time an earthquake hits China, people get killed because our buildings are not earthquake proof,” said Cheng Li, president of the Chinese Association. “I think, through our actions, that more and more people will get to know about this earthquake and more and more people will pay attention to this disaster.” The fundraiser has been going on for approximately a week, and will end on Wednesday. Thus far, they have raised approximately $1,100. All earnings will be given to actor Jet Li’s One Foundation, which is currently raising

money for the disaster. The Chinese Association is a student organization that creates cultural events like China Night, as well as communication events like the current fundraiser. One of the main goals of their group is to build a bridge of understanding between the incoming Chinese community and Corvallis. “Nowadays, Oregon State has more and more Chinese students coming in, and a lot of our community [sees] only one side of Chinese students,” Li said. “They see their fancy side. They see they’re driving fancy cars, sports cars, emma-kate schaake | THE DAILY BAROMETER like BMWs, but they are not seeing that Business students Ye Liu, senior, and Olivia Lin and Yue Zuo, both freshmen, set up a table for Ya’an earthquake relief as part of the Chinese Association.

Starting as a homecoming competition in 1936, it was originally a Singing competition between fraternities. When the fraternities went inactive during World War II, the sororities took over the competition. It was when the fraternities came back that Sing became what it is today: a huge Singing and dancing competition between Greek I am organizations.

I think a lot of houses really picked up the competition this year and it was fun to watch.”

Open minds provoke open discussions

Let Scouts be H who they are I

nclusivity has been on our minds lately. Or, rather, the lack thereof has been on our minds. Boy Scouts of America’s National Council is scheduled to vote on May 23 to either keep its current policy — which bans open homosexuals from joining the organization — or to include homosexual youths within the organization. It’s no question in our minds: Of course Boy Scouts of America should be inclusive. And, as the Corvallis GazetteTimes reported, “virtually all of the Corvallis parents” involved within the local Scouts troop share this opinion. It seems our local Corvallis troop is quite full with forward-thinkers in comparison to several other troops throughout the country. In a national Voice of the Scout survey in February, the organization asked more than 1 million members of the Scouting community to share their stance on the issue. The results indicate 61 percent of the Scouting community still support the current policy. Just to be clear, the current policy “does not proactively inquire about the sexual orientation of employees, volunteers, or members,” which we agree it shouldn’t. If only it stopped there: Boy Scouts of America does “not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the BSA.” If we’re OK with remaining in the closet to receive the preparedness in making ethical and moral choices like the Boy Scouts of America’s mission statement says or to help teach young boys in doing so, Boy Scouts of America would accept us? So, this policy encourages people to lie? Well, that seems to go against following ethical or moral standards. The policy also goes against aspects of Scout law: to be brave and trustworthy. We would think Boy Scouts of America would embrace open homosexuals. After all, it takes a certain amount of bravery to come out in the current political climate and still be involved in an organization that claims homosexuality a “sin.” We would think Boy Scouts of America would foster trustworthiness by allowing for an honest space where boys and men — homosexual or not — could learn and embody such values as being friendly, courteous, cheerful and reverent, which are other aspects of Scout law. It doesn’t seem friendly, courteous, cheerful or reverent to discriminate against youths or adults who identify as homosexual. The resolution states, “No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.” While this is a step forward, and we applaud the organization for at least attempting inclusivity, the resolution should also apply to adults who wish to be part of the organization. We strongly urge Boy Scouts of America to wake up and nationally recognize its current policy has been hindering all Scouts and Scout leaders from adhering to its own law and oath. Stop discriminating. Vote to include all, regardless of sexual orientation.

Editorial Board

omosexuality is immoral. Now, let’s see how many people actually bother to read this article, and how many stop at that statement, write letters to the editor bashing me and make themselves look like idiots. You see, I personally believe that homosexuality is immoral. Call me backwards all you want, but I do. Now that I’ve stated my views, though, let’s move past them for a moment. My views of morality may not be the same as yours. Whether or not there is a “correct” moral system has been debated for ages, but simple observation shows that everyone has their own moral code. Is any specific moral code more or less correct than others? Well, no. Not really. In my view, at least, people are born equal. My views are neither more nor less valid than yours. How does this relate to anything, you may ask? Read on. Moral validity has everything to do with the validity of law. Virtually all law has a moral basis; even laws against murder, which virtually all people agree is wrong. See? People believe that it is wrong. That’s really all there is to it. Right and wrong are by their very nature subjective, moral matters, so almost all laws have some basis in morality. Prohibition? That was morality. Child labor laws? Also a moral argument. It is by this sort of argument that those who feel that homosexuality is immoral argue that it should also be illegal. (Disclaimer: I am not equating homosexuality and murder. I am just using an extreme argument to lead into a valid point.)

disagreeing with them, and they tend to want to force their opinions on others, just like their opponents. It’s a great issue for seeing peoples’ true Now, to be fair, I personally do not colors about equality, acceptance and believe that homosexuality should freedom. The problem is not gay people. I love be illegal. Why, you may ask? I do not believe that it should be illegal gay people; they tend to be some of the because, while immoral, it causes no nicest people I meet. The problem is harm; in fact, it is probably a good people who place themselves above thing for society. It makes people their fellow man or woman, whoever happy. After all, I believe people should they are. I am not superior to you; my have equal legal protections, whether views are not better. However, you are not superior to me. or not we agree with That is the equalthem. However, I’m ity we really need to going to take this I am a straight, work on: equality of farther, just as a Christian, opinion. We, as the test: What if I were supposed “intellecto say that prostituRepublican, NRA tuals,” the “future of tion should be legalmember, and I want our country,” need ized? I mean, if it is to get past the childbetween consenting to legalize gay ish “I’m right, you’re adults (i.e. no one is marriage. wrong” that permeforced into it), isn’t ates modern debate that the same idea, and get down to the that people should real business of probe able to do what they want without moral busybodies or the state stop- moting true freedom and liberty of ping them? How about polygamy, as thought for all, be they Christian, long as all parties consent? I’m willing Muslim, atheist, gay, straight, to bet that there are people who want Republican, Democrat or whatever to legalize gay marriage who would other label you can come up with. I am a straight, Christian, cringe at such ideas as being just flat Republican, NRA member, and I want out wrong. I wrote this article with the express to legalize gay marriage. So screw your purpose of getting to that final ques- stereotypes, get past your intellectual tion. You see, I find that those who superiority (all of you, on all sides of oppose gay marriage are often fairly the aisle), and recognize that we’re all intolerant of people disagreeing with human, and all of our opinions have them, and they tend to want to force worth and value.

ASOSU not representative of student body

call shenanigans on the Associated Students of OSU general election. The irregularities are astounding, the voter turnout underwhelming and far from representative — you’d get better results polling a human sexuality lecture — that everyone should be wondering what happened. I’m dumbfounded. A month ago, I’d never even heard of Brett Deedon and Victoria Redman. Worse than their obscurity was their anonymity. I didn’t know their platform, their views on tuition and the First Year Experience, or even their first names. Their Facebook page is cryptic, and has significantly fewer likes than their opponents’. Far from damning evidence, I know, but it seemed to indicate a level of obfuscation that persisted into their official elections packet information. Confusing catch-phrases with statements of policy, they traded on spectacle instead of substance to win voters — and it seemed to work. At least for the almost 4 percent of the student body who voted for them. Hardly a mandate. So, apart from utter lack of recognition on the ballot, I was astounded to hear that the elections had been extended so INTO students could participate. Worthy, I’m sure, but why wasn’t this wrinkle ironed out ahead of time? This isn’t the first time that elections have been run with INTO students participating. Indeed, I’m sure the two INTO students who voted appreciated ASOSU bending over backward to make sure their voices were heard. I’d be interested to see what the numbers looked like at the original closing time. At the very least, every vote after the original closing time should be discarded. A more democratic option would be a total re-vote. Speaking of democracy, the current vice president of ASOSU, Dan Cushing, has publicly stated the organization is anything but a student government — which makes a fair amount of sense. ASOSU is far from representational. Eighty percent of its members belong to fraternities or sororities. The gross insularity of ASOSU is readily apparent in the crass politicization of trivial matters, the petty infighting and the rampant cronyism. One bad apple is not indicative of the entire system. Rather, it seems as if the entire orchard is corrupt. The penetration of the Greek system into university organizations is most readily apparent in ASOSU, which controls a budget in excess of 1 million of your dollars. Filling vacant executive positions with fraternity brothers or friends from the sorority is insulting to the student body, and an abortion of democracy. The lack of accountability of the Greek system is symptomatic of the parochial elitism under which ASOSU operates. More than simply bad policy, it breeds a conspiratorial culture of obstructionism. Deedon and Redman are themselves members of the Greek system. Deedon is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Redman is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. Nearly half the voters were members of a fraternity or sorority, and nearly a third lived in Greek houses. Those numbers don’t mean anyone cheated. You could argue that they’re just better at organizing their constituents — but that’s the point. The entire student body is their constituency. By relying on Greeks to assure their victory, Deedon and Redman have announced where their interests lie and highlighted the fact that ASOSU is no longer a student government, but rather annexed to the Greek system. Shenanigans. t

it was 9-0 where there would be no pressure at all,” said head coach Pat Casey. “But Fry is Fry. He doesn’t back away from anything.” A regular starter and arguably Oregon State’s best pitcher last season — he tallied a 5-3 record and 2.45 earned run average in 13 starts — Fry said getting back on the field for the first time wasn’t what he expected. “[My emotions] were surprisingly fine,” Fry said. “I took a couple deep breaths and the guys in the bullpen helped me out, telling me to slow down and take my time.” Fry’s teammates might have been more emotional to see the sophomore finally back in action after 11 months of physical rehabilitation and hard work. “I think we were more excited than he was,” said sophomore Michael Conforto. “I got goose bumps when he came in because it’s such a tough surgery to come back from. I think he did great considering the amount of time it took him to come back. It’s amazing that he’s already back in Pac-12 play.” Fry’s roommate, junior Ben Wetzler, got the start for the Beavers, allowing one earned run while striking out 10 batters in 6 1/3 innings. Wetzler has allowed only two earned runs in his last three starts combined. “I didn’t think he had his best stuff today but he battled,” Casey said. Freshman Andrew Moore had his best start as a Beaver in Saturday’s 5-0 victory. The right-hander nearly threw a no-hitter, giving up two base hits in nine innings. Moore moved to 9-1 on the season and lowered his ERA to 1.37. “He kept the ball down, and he was able to move the ball over both sides of the plate while throwing three pitches for strikes,” Casey said on Saturday. “He changed speeds quite a bit. He was impressive.” Offensively, Oregon State enjoyed one of its more balanced weekends of the season, scoring six runs apiece on Friday and Sunday and five on Saturday. The Beavers only managed seven hits to Cal’s 13 on Sunday, but still managed six runs thanks to three home runs. Senior Tyler Smith and junior Jake Rodriguez both hit their second long balls of the year, while senior Danny Hayes hit his third.

Fry hadn’t pitched for Oregon State (37-8, 17-4 Pac-12) since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June. The left-hander made his season debut on Sunday, walking out to the mound to a warm ovation from the fans at Goss Stadium.

raig Robinson, Oregon State men’s basketball head coach, met with the media on Friday, and naturally, a lot of the talk centered around the loss of Ahmad Starks, who will transfer closer to his hometown of Chicago. In a column last week, I discussed the effect of Starks’ decision. Sophomores-to-be guards Victor Robbins and Langston Morris-Walker were rather candid in what they told me, suggesting that OSU will improve defensively. Robbins even went as far as to say OSU “will be better, actually” next year. Both players expressed confidence in their abilities to make up for the loss of Starks, who started 73 games at OSU and leaves as the program’s all-time leader in 3-point field goals made. It didn’t take Robinson long on Friday to acknowledge Robbins’ and Morris-Walker’s comments. “As we’re trying to build up a bench, when you lose a guy, it’s going to be a tough blow,” Robinson said. “Fortunately for us, we started building that bench. We got a couple of guys, Langston Morris-Walker and Victor Robbins, who have talked to the Barometer and said they’re ready to step up right away.” Though he may not have wanted them to be so blunt publicly, Robinson appeared to appreciate Robbins’ and Morris-Walker’s confidence. Over the course of the informal press conference, Robinson was asked about several points I raised in my column. • Robinson was asked what he thought about Robbins’ assertion that OSU “will be better” without Starks. “What I like about Victor: he’s really confident,” Robinson said. “Had he

The Ducks sweep OSU, win by combined score of 21-1 The Daily Barometer

Three losses, three grand slams allowed, one run scored and an ugly end to what was a six-game winning streak. The Oregon State softball team came crashing back down to reality over the weekend, losing three games to the University of Oregon by a collective score of 21-1. After playing the No. 5 Ducks close on Friday, losing 2-1, the Beavers lost via the mercy rule on Saturday (11-0) and Sunday (8-0). Both games were called after five innings. Prior to the series in Eugene, OSU had won four conference games in a row — the program’s longest conference winning streak since 2006. The Beavers (32-20, 7-14 Pac-12) had extended their overall winning streak

to six with two wins against Portland State on Tuesday. OSU’s momentum appeared to carry over into game one of the Civil War. Senior pitchers Tina Andreana and Marina Demore held the Ducks to one run through five innings on Friday, and it looked as though OSU might add another chapter to its book of late-game heroics after freshman Natalie Hampton swatted a home run in the top of the sixth to tie the score at one. But Oregon’s Jessica Moore led the bottom of the sixth inning off with a long ball to put Oregon (45-7, 18-3) back on top, 2-1, and OSU left a runner stranded on first the next inning to end the game. Hampton finished with OSU’s only two hits of Friday’s contest. Andreana, the reigning Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week, held the Ducks to two hits but See SOFTABLL | page 6

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing struggles at Windermere Cup n

Oregon Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best finish was a bronze medal in the 4-team event The Daily Barometer

The Oregon State menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top finish was a bronze in their Saturday trip to Seattle for the 27th annual Windermere Cup. The Beavers faced Washington, Cornell and Dartmouth in four races at Opening Day. The JV8+ boat placed third in the Erickson Cascade Cup between the three schools. Oregon State hung in well with Cornell and Dartmouth in the race. Dartmouth and Oregon State stayed head and head throughout the race, but a late surge in the last 500 meters brought the Beavers ahead of their Ivy League opponent by less than one second â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 6:15.6 to 6:16.5.

The Beavers competed in three other races, which included the freshman 8+ boat finishing third against two Washington boats, and coming in ahead of Washington State with a time of 6:20.6. The varsity 4+ boats â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bâ&#x20AC;? were unable to contend against Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bâ&#x20AC;? boat, coming in 15 seconds behind and were unable to break under seven minutes, like they did last weekend against Cal. Overall, the day was one for personal improvement and exposure for the younger rowers to see the spectacle of Opening Day in Seattle. With the Beaversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next race being the Pac-12 Championships, the team is turning its full attention to the task at hand for the next two weeks.

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer wraps up spring schedule n

Oregon State lost to the MLS Portland Timbers U-23 team, tied Seattle University over weekend By Sarah Kerrigan The Daily Barometer

The Oregon State menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team ended its spring season with a record of 3-1-2 with a loss to the Portland Timbersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; U-23 team and a tie to Seattle University this weekend. This last weekend of games was somewhat disappointing for the team in terms of results, but invaluable in the minutes played. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This weekend, with the results, I think we are all disappointed,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Steve Simmons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we are trying to mock the importance of results this spring for fall.â&#x20AC;? Similar to spring camp for football, the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer spring season is a chance for the younger players to step up into new roles and get their feet under them for the coming fall season. The minutes that freshmen and transfer students get in spring is crucial in their transition to the team, as well as for experienced players to break in posi-

tions left by graduating seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was just minutes,â&#x20AC;? said redshirt freshman goalkeeper Matt Bersano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost a lot of seniors, so a lot of people who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the time to be able to experience a little bit of what collegiate soccer was like was good.â&#x20AC;? Matt Arbogast, a recently graduated senior from South Eugene High School, was one of those players. He said that the most important thing about being able to play this spring was getting the chance to adjust to the faster speed of the game. Joining the team early allowed him and other transfer students to get to know the team on and off the field. In addition to getting younger players up to speed with the game, the Beavers also sought to refine their play for fall. In Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Seattle University, Oregon State was unable to connect in the final third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed a little more patience in the final third. I thought there were times that we pulled the trigger to early,â&#x20AC;? Simmons said. The Beavers were able to create good chances, but unable to put most of them in the back of the net. They did the same thing in their game against the Portland

Ingram To Receive Women Of Achievement Honor Oregon State athletic communications

Legendary faculty member, track and field coach and athletics administrator Pat Ingram, a part of the fabric of the OSU campus since 1969, has been selected by the Oregon State Women’s Center as one of three recipients of its 2013 OSU Women of Achievement Award. The ceremony, which is free and open to the public, takes place on Friday, May 10 in the campus’ Memorial Union Lounge beginning at 3 p.m. The Women Center’s Women of Achievement Awards, which have been given out every year since 1986, “honor the commitment to and contributions of women whose work has touched the lives of students and colleagues ... [and] those who have shown to be dedicated to improving the lives of other women, but whose work may sometimes go unnoticed, unrecognized or unrewarded.” Ingram will be honored along with Candy Pierson-Charlton and Julia Jones. Student award winners are Julie Stewart, Maria Nguyen, Britton Goodale, Elba Moise. Ingram’s recognition stems from her contributions as a faculty member, beginning in 1969 and her four seasons as track and field coach from 1970-73, in addition to serving as the first Director of the Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Department at Oregon State from 1973-75 and as the Supervisor of Health and Physical Education Student Teachers from 1975-88. Among many accomplishments, her 1971, 1972 and 1973 track and field teams advanced to nationals. She also laid the foundation for the Women’s Athletic Department at OSU in the early to mid-1970’s and was instrumental in bringing the 1975 National Women’s Collegiate Track and Field Championships to Oregon State, when she served as meet director for the only such collegiate track and field national championships that have been held in Corvallis. Additionally, this award celebrates Ingram’s efforts to return women’s track and field to Oregon State; helping to raise funds for the new Whyte Track and Field Center; establishing, in her name, only the second women’s athletic scholarship (2007); and her work on the Beavers’ 2007 and 2012 Title IX Reunion dinners. This May is the 40th anniversary of Ingram’s third consecutive national track and field team. Under her tutelage from 1970-73, each of her squads earned conference titles, two placed second at the regional championships and her teams from 1971-73 finished tied for 10th, 16th and 16th at nationals. Her studentathletes amassed 11 conference event titles and eight regional event titles to go along with 13 women who earned All-America honors and two who went on to represent the United States in track and field competition. Ingram and her teams accomplished all this before scholarships for women existed, at a time when they had to raise their individual traveling expenses and when access to Bell Field was only permitted if the men were not in need of the facility. This fall is also the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Department (WIA) at Oregon State. Ingram was serving as the director of the Women’s Recreation Association, the counterpart to the men’s athletic department, when

the passage of Title IX legislation occurred in June 1972, at which time University President Robert MacVicar instituted the name change and appointed Ingram as its first director to begin in the fall of 1973. She laid the foundation for the future growth of women’s athletic competition at Oregon State all while maintaining a full teaching load. Although her coaching career had concluded, Ingram’s work continued to help demonstrate what Oregon State women could achieve in athletic endeavors. She remained on the national women’s collegiate track and field board and in 1974, at the inaugural meet at Patrick Wayne Valley Field, she coordinated the school’s first coed meet in the `international style’ on competition. That spring, Mary Budke won the national collegiate title in golf; with both Budke and current women’s head golf coach Risë Alexander finishing third in the team standings. In 1975, with Mary Stockdale and Patty Schram joining Budke and Alexander, golf returned to nationals and earned ninth place in the team competition. In the spring of 1974, Ingram also snagged the invitation for OSU to host the 1975 National Women’s Collegiate Track and Field Championships. She served as meet director for the event which featured more than 500 competitors from 200 schools, breaking all attendance records in the championship’s seven-year history. Fans at the sold-out event were treated to numerous record-setting performances and witnessed Oregon State’s own Joni Huntley capture national titles in both the high jump and long jump in leading the Beavers to finish in a tie for seventh. After that summer, Ingram ended her reign as WIA Director and became Supervisor of Student Teachers, a position which she held until her faculty retirement in 1988. As a testament to her tireless efforts, the latter half of the 1970’s saw Oregon State women’s teams thrive on a national stage. Softball amassed five consecutive World Series appearances from 1977-1981; the two-mile relay squad won the national title in 1979; and gymnastics emerged as a national power - placing fourth in 1980 and earning its first individual title in 1981. Rowing won two national boat titles and placed second overall in the 1980 championships, which also included non-collegiate crews, before the women’s and men’s departments merged over 1981-82 in conjunction with the NCAA initiating women’s sports championships. Shirley (Lagestee) Huyett, a three-time track and field All-American and one of Ingram’s former athletes, will introduce her at the ceremony. At nationals in 1972 and 1973, she finished fourth and tied for sixth in the high jump. In 1973 she also teamed with Jeri Nored, Margaret George Armentrout and Connie Larsen to place sixth in the 440-yard relay. Huyett became the first OSU woman to compete at the Olympic Track and Field Trials when she did so in the high jump in 1972. At Oregon State, she also competed in basketball, softball, field hockey and soccer and remains the school’s most decorated female studentathlete, earning 13 varsity letters. Lastly, Huyett’s stellar basketball coaching career led to her 2009 induction into Southern Oregon University’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Feds search Boston bombing suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment it, shroud it, to prepare his body,â&#x20AC;? Ruslan Tsarni said. Tsarni said he was the only family member at the funeral home and had not had contact with Katherine Russell, Tamerlanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widow. The funeral home owner, Peter Stefan, said he still has yet to find a cemetery willing to accept the body for burial. A day earlier, he had said that if no gravesite is found, he plans to ask the government to find a grave. Three cemeteries that Stefan contacted said they feared reprisals, but the funeral home owner said you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick and choose when it comes to a burial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what we do in a civilized society, regardless of the circumstances,â&#x20AC;? Stefan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I told some of them, at the immediate moment, you may fear (reprisal), but later on, when things calm down, people are going to resent you because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it.â&#x20AC;? Tsarnaevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death certificate has yet to be filed with the Boston city clerk, and there is no burial plot, according to the funeral home. The city manager of Cambridge said Sunday he would not allow Tsarnaev to be buried in the city if requested by the funeral director or Tsarnaevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difficult and stressful efforts of

the citizens of the City of Cambridge to return to a peaceful life would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and widespread media presence at such an interment,â&#x20AC;? City Manager Robert W. Healy said in a statement. Tsarnaev died April 19 after he and his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, shot a university police officer to death, carjacked an SUV and hurled bombs at officers pursuing them, according to authorities. A few days earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; April 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he and his younger brother allegedly bombed the Boston Marathon, killing three and wounding more than 260. CNN obtained a copy of Tamerlan Tsarnaevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death certificate, which lists the cause of death as â&#x20AC;&#x153;gunshot wounds of torso and extremitiesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;blunt trauma to head and torso.â&#x20AC;? The document notes that Tsarnaev was shot by police and run over and dragged by a car. It lists the manner of death as homicide and notes that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;DOA,â&#x20AC;? or dead on arrival. Authorities have said his younger brother may have run him over as they resisted arrest days after the marathon attacks. Separately, 12 people remained hospitalized with bombing-related injuries on Saturday, according to a count by CNN. None was in serious condition.

(CNN) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal authorities were at the apartment of deceased bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev on Sunday, executing a search warrant, an FBI spokeswoman said. Amanda Cox said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is courtauthorized law enforcement activityâ&#x20AC;? at the home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that Tsarnaev shared with his wife and young daughter. Workers in white hazmat suits were at the apartment, CNN affiliate WCVB reported. Cox said the search stopped for the day in the early afternoon. It was not immediately clear whether workers had taken anything from the home. On Friday, a source briefed on the investigation said investigators found explosives residue in the small apartment. It has turned up in at least three places, the source said: the kitchen table, the kitchen sink and the bathtub. Tsarnaevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, has said they built the bombs there, U.S. law enforcement officials briefed on the progress of the investigation said. On Sunday, Tamerlan Tsarnaevâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body remained at a funeral home, where his uncle said he was trying to deal with the logistics of readying the body for burial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to prepare his body, to wash
