Zach Pajak shows the humorous side of Alceste, the main character of “The Misanthrope.” The production held its final showing on Sunday.

This past weekend, families and students congregated to watch local actors clothed in elaborate costumes and dramatic makeup present the stylish and witty comedy, “The Misanthrope.” Oregon State University Theater presented its rendition of Moliere’s classic French comedy. A total of six performances were held over the past two weekends in the Withycombe Hall Main Stage. The play was directed by Tinamarie Ivey and featured a cast of both students and locals. “The Misanthrope” is a popular satire of manners set in 17th-century See MISANTHROPé | page 7

Conference brings about conversations on masculinity n

The Healthy Masculinity Conference features presentation from spoken word artist among other sessions tailored to men regarding health, culture By Kyle Reed

The Daily Barometer

Spoken word artist Carlos Andres Gomez gave a live presentation in the Memorial Union lounge as part of the Healthy Masculinity Conference. The conference took place on Thursday and Friday, and addressed issues surrounding masculinity in modern society. Gomez discussed these issues during his performance as he detailed his own journey of self-understanding. “I was really moved by a lot of what he said,” said fifth-year student Alex Pederson. “It was raw, and I could identify with that, and it felt very genuine and real. It’s not like there was some barrier between him and us, it was like we were talking to him and we were all there together.” Much of the keynote speech made reference to Gomez’s book, “Man Up,” which contains a written record of his experiences as well as a collection of poems. Gomez uses these See MASCULINITY | page 7
