It’s one for the books.

Oregon State University students and community members gathered in the Memorial Union plaza to set a world record for the largest Native American style flute circle.

The record will now stand in the Guinness World Records at 350 total participants.

Past and present students of the Music 108: Music Cultures of the World course, taught by Jan Michael Looking Wolf and his wife Rhonda Reibach, played songs with their flutes as they were filmed for their audition for the Guinness World Records.

“As I got through half the 100 meters, I wanted to quit. Not only that, but I was five feet tall so I basically just held onto the rope,” said Meesha Baldree, a junior in communication. “It was a lot harder than I thought.”

Pushing the humvee was part of the first annual FIJI Push put on by Phi Gamma Delta, also known as FIJI, that took place this Saturday to help raise funds for the United Services See PUSH | page 2

Events

Stolen bike A man reportedly secured his bicycle on a bike rack behind an Oregon State University building. At around 8 p.m. he noticed his bike was missing. The complainant does not know the bike’s serial number and estimates the bike’s value to be around $700.

Saturday, May 23

Broken car window A woman called Oregon State Police to report that the rear window of her vehicle had been broken while she was parked in an outdoor parking lot overnight. She told OSP that her vehicle had been “fine” the previous day when she parked around 5 p.m., and that she saw the damage Saturday morning around 7 a.m. The building staff that own the lot reportedly do not have video cameras for the area she was parked at.

According to the woman, nothing had been taken from the vehicle, and there is no suspect information at this time.

Stolen stereo A student called OSP to report that his stereo had been stolen from his locked car. The student stated that his vehicle had reportedly been fine on May 17 around 6 p.m., and that he noticed the damage around 2 p.m. on May 23.

The student thinks his stereo was a Sony, and black. The vehicle reportedly does not start now since various wires were ripped out when the stereo was stolen. The estimated damage and replacement value for the stereo is around $200, and OSP states that

crimes committed include second-degree theft, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and second-degree criminal mischief.

Meetings

Assault University Dispatch received a complaint around 7 p.m. of an assault on the Oregon State University campus. Two OSP troopers arrived at the scene and the suspect had left prior to police arrival. There were reportedly two victims and one witness to the assault. The witness and victims remained on the scene, and the victims did not wish to press charges against the suspect. The suspect was then located at his residence and issued an exclusion from all Oregon State University property.

Friday, May 22

Fraud A man came to the OSP office to report that he agreed to sell an item on Craigslist, and that a potential buyer had contacted him asking him to cash a check and send the difference back so that the “movers” could be paid.

The event gathered over 200 participants, many of which were drenched in sweat as they battled to accomplish pull-ups, push-ups and pulling the humvee to the best of their ability.

Because of the efforts of those involved, FIJI Push raised around $1,000 for the United Service Organizations, which supply activities and care-packages for troops in hundreds of locations around the world.

Peter Halajian, a natural resources freshman in Phi Gamma Delta, assisted in coordinating the event and got University Calzone, a restaurant located on NW Monroe Ave., to participate.

“We worked out a deal where they will give to (United Services Organization) 20 percent of profits made from that day for anyone who went in, purchased food and mentioned FIJI Push,” Halajian said.

Halajian is a member of ROTC Army and the National Guard, who were able to supply the Humvee. The event was an opportunity for people to recognize the charity and be informed about United Services Organization.

New scavenger hunt concludes Greek Week celebrations Success of Greek Week showcased by mass participation at closing ceremonies Thursday

By Calvy Yue THE DAILY BAROMETER

Students clad in bright neon clothing participated Thursday in the final day of Greek Week, which is dedicated to the celebration of the many fraternities and sororities at Oregon State University.

The last day of festivities featured a scavenger hunt around campus, as well as the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council Closing Ceremonies.

The day’s event, which was planned since the

Looking Wolf said to the crowd.

The circle played multiple songs learned from the class, some more traditional to Native American culture and some more modern scores. “On Native American flute, the cool thing is that you can play not just indigenous music, but also modern music,� Looking Wolf said. “I hear a lot of students learning songs from their favorite movies too.�

Payton Hummell, a senior in zoology, had taken the course in the past and witnessed the Native American flute circle. “It was cool to see, it sounded really awesome,� Hummell said.

Hummell enjoyed the course, especially learning about how music mixes with Native American culture and learning

“I’ve had people come up to me and said that the changes made Greek Week more fun,“ said Cailin Palumbo, another Greek Week chair and a junior in management and entrepreneurship.

Following the scavenger hunt, the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council Closing Ceremonies, held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Chintimini Park Multipurpose Room on Northwest Tyler Avenue, easily saw an attendance of more than 150 people. The event served as a celebration, which featured a pre-ceremony, raffle drawing and awards given to Greek fraternities and sororities under the categories of Most Spirited, Most Charitable and Most Participation.

For the Greek Week barbecue, more than twice the amount of last year’s participants showed up.

Rebecca Bring, a sophomore in accounting and management and one of the Greek Week chairs overseeing the events, attributed their success to good planning and working with fellow chair members.

The scavenger hunt, which was a new addition to the schedule, had participants in 10 teams deciphering messages leading to different buildings and locations named after former Greek life members on campus.

Lisha Li, a senior in business information systems, is a current member of the class and participated in the circle. “I was excited about joining this class, and this was my first flute performance and first instrument ever,� Li said.

Li enjoys playing the Native American flute and has taken it upon herself to learn more about the instrument and what she can do with it outside of the classroom. “I searched some teachers and looked up videos onYouTube and learn at home,� Li said. “Class time is limited.�

Looking Wolf gets a lot of reward out of teaching the music course, and enjoys the diversity of students who sign up to take it. “We look at Native American

tradition, cultural diversity and how it relates together,� Looking Wolf said. “We also look at musical expression and how that plays in with culture.�

Looking Wolf began teaching at OSU 11 years ago and believes teaching cultural diversity is the greatest job he has had. “This is the greatest honor I’ve ever had, to be a teacher at OSU,�

Looking Wolf said. “I get to see the benefit of teaching cultural diversity and teaching students how to express themselves musically. It’s been a great course.�

Looking Wolf is a member of the Kalapuya Tribe, which is indigenous to the Corvallis area. His great-great grandfather Joseph Sangretta was one of the tribe members to sign the Willamette Treaty of 1855 as part of the Santiam band of the Kalapuya.

Looking Wolf is an internationally renowned and awardwinning Native American flute performer and records his own works.

Latina in the public health master’s program has had a big impact on her.

“You just don’t see a lot of Latinos in the master’s program,” Elizabeth Sampedro said.

This shared experience has allowed her to become more comfortable at OSU. Elizabeth Sampedro’s younger brother attended as well. Gabriel Sampedro is currently a freshman at Marist High School in Eugene, Ore. To his older sister, the experience of visiting during Mi Familia for him is huge.

“It brings him physically here. A lot of these kids don’t realize college is an option for them and that college is an opportunity in their future,” Elizabeth Sampedro said.

Attending the event allowed Gabriel Sampedro to connect with the OSU campus.

“I got to meet a lot of new people,” Gabriel Sampedro said.

Gabriel Sampedro feels prepared to attend college due to his high school teachers and their teaching styles. At Marist, Gabriel Sampedro has noticed that the academic environment is at a higher level.

“It has made a huge impact on me and my ability to want to go to college,” he said.

But, like many high school freshman busy with school events and a new student body, Gabriel Sampedro said he’d never thought about college, focusing instead on the moment at hand.

“I’m not making any big plans for college yet,” he said.

At some point, Gabriel Sampedro hopes to become an engineer or pilot.

The existence of Mi Familia has given many families the ability to understand what their college students lives are like as well as introduce them to available opportunities.

“It’s good for them to feel proud and part of something bigger,” Elizabeth Sampedro said.

bill to protect victims of campus sexual assault

By Joce Johnson

STATESMAN JOURNAL

SALEM — Oregon legislators have approved a bill that would boost the privacy of victims of campus sexual assualt.

The state senate approved House Bill 3476 on Tuesday, following the house’s similar action. The bill would establish a privilege for certain communications between people seeking services for domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. It passed the senate with 29 votes in favor and one excused absence. It also saw no objections in the House of Representatives, where it passed with 58 votes in favor.

HB 3476 would also prevent the use of victim information without the consent of the person seeking services.

“We know one of the primary reasons that victims do not come forward to share their stories is they’re afraid that the information they share will be told to others without their consent,” said Sen. Sara Gelser, D-Corvallis, who was a chief sponsor of the bill.

“When an individual experiences sexual assault it is When an a devastating time in their individual lives.”

The first thing they need experiences to do is tell their story and sexual assault get the help they need, and they need to be able to do it it is a devastating in a way that does not make them fearful that their words time in and emotions will be used their lives. against them at a later time in a court of law, Gelser said.

Sara Gelser The bill had bipartisan Senator, D-Corvallis sponsorship from the House and Senate. Sen. Jackie Winters, R-Salem, spoke to the its importance.

“I agree with the good senator that we must be sure of two things: that we maintain confidentiality, and also that we have those resources so that individuals who are victims can be assured that what has happened is they will have not only have the resources but it does remain private,” Winters said.

Earlier in the session, legislators spoke to the necessity of this bill and others in the same category due to the frequency of which sexual assault is known to occur on college campuses.

Nearly one in five Oregon college students will report being the victim of a sexual assault in their college years.

Sen. Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, spoke to the qualifications of a “safe harbor”, or a place that offers services for victims where their information will remain private.

“It may be either a nongovernmental, nonprofit communitybased program that offers safety planning, support or advocacy services for victims, or it could be a sexual assault center, victim advocacy office, womens center, student affairs center, health center or other program providing victim services on campus or affiliated with a two- or four-year post secondary institution,” Kruse said.

“We wanted to find these victims a place to go to talk about their issues without it making the front page of the paper or anything like that.”

A spokeswoman for Gov. Kate Brown said the governor will review the bill once it reaches her desk.

Enloe reserved the entire Memorial Union quad and offered Smock a larger space so long as he agreed to “play by the rules.”

“When nobody intervenes, people get upset. This not only pulls them away from the library, but creates a peaceful environment for everybody involved,” Enloe said.

Merchandising management sophomore Sofija Raudys said that while Smock and Savenko’s methods of “scaring people into what you believe” are disrespectful, she’s glad OSU chose not to “add fuel to the fire.”

“You can say ‘you can’t be on campus,’ and I get it, but I don’t like that. I’m happy I’m part of a campus that can engage in discussion and talk about it.

That’s how things should be,” Raudys said.

The tone of Friday’s event was closer to a festival than a standoff between two parties.

As Wilson wrapped up his

Freshman pitcher Drew Rasmussen gets excited after a quality play during the Beavers’ win against Cal in Corvallis Saturday.

Beavers surprisingly head to Dallas After taking series against Cal, finishing No. 2 conference, OSU baseball gets snubbed to host regional, heads out on road

By Brain Rathbone THE DAILY BAROMETER

Oregon State baseball was unable to complete the series sweep against the California Golden Bears, as the Beavers used eight pitchers in the 7-4 loss Sunday afternoon at Goss Stadium.

After starting right-hander Travis Eckert only lasted four innings after giving up four runs, head coach Pat Casey went to senior Zack Reser, sophomores Kevin Flemer and Mak Fox, freshmen Luke Heimlich, Sam Tweedt, Ryan Mets and Mitch Hickey to close out the game for the Beavers (3816-1, 19-10-1 Pac-12).

The high number of arms being thrown was due complete games thrown junior Andrew Moore and freshman Drew Rasmussen in the first two games

of the series against Cal (34-19, 18-12).

“We had made our minds up that we were going to throw a lot of arms today and get some guys out there,” head coach Pat Casey said. “Hickey hadn’t thrown, Heimlich hadn’t thrown, Tweedt hadn’t thrown so we were going to throw some guys regardless of the score, because the eggs are in the barn.”

The two wins by Moore and Rasmussen secured the second place finish in the Pac-12, and with the selection committee already knowing who would be the schools hosting a regionals, the outcome of Sunday’s game would make no impact.

Nearing the end of the game, the regional hosts were announced. Despite the rocky start to the season, the Beavers finished strong down the stretch, winning their final six conference series to secure and finish second in the conference.

All of that put the Beavers on the bubble to be one of the 16 regional host sites. Unfortunately the OSU squad did not receive the bid. Now instead of

LBCC arrests at state capital important for cause O

n May 14, Linn-Benton Community College’s Student Life and Leadership representatives traveled with the Oregon Student Association to the Oregon state capital to participate in a political demonstration.

Pretty simple set up: Protestors wore signs that read “Don’t kicker students while they’re down” and laid down on the floor of the capitol building outside a hearing room, effectively obstructing the hallways and doorways and chanting peacefully.

The protest was unpublicized and in response to the suggestion that Oregonians should receive a tax credit for next year’s filing, which the OSA feels could be spent instead on lowering tuition for college students.

Naturally, with any kind of doorway obstruction, State Troopers were called to disperse the group.

We do not hold any animosity to the students who elected to leave. That is your prerogative, and you folks determined that it was in your best interest.

But we are not going to pretend that we aren’t proud of the LBCC students who chose to stay.

As citizens of a nation built on laws, we have freedoms and limitations within that structure.

We are grateful for those who protect said freedoms and understand the necessity of removing doorway-blocking students from a logical and legal standpoint.

However, when people look back at the protests of yore, the ones that are remembered are the ones that disrupt.

Letter to the Editor Friday, May 22nd column While I do not have the space or the patience to argue with her comments and opinions regarding capital punishment within the United States, I do take great offense with the uninformed statement regarding the lack of terrorist attacks committed by the United States.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the definition of international terrorism includes the statement “(Acts) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping”.

Applying this definition, we

see that most all of our military involvement as a country has included acts of terrorism including mass destruction, coercion of governments and violence against civilian populations.

One only has to look at the illegal bombing of Cambodia authorized by Richard Nixon in 1969, or the Persian Gulf war in which the U.S. admitted to dropping bombs in order to reform Iraq, or even more currently, the drone strikes in Pakistan, which have recorded countless civilian casualties.

One could continue to go on about the destruction that the United States has left in its wake, but according to Di Raffaele, we as a country have only done “significant damage during times of war to other countries.”

Unfortunately, this argu-

Basically, they don’t know what they are doing, possibly due to lack of experience.

This is where I point out how important communication is — let your partner know what you like and you just might get it.

Here’s one reason why men in particular may not enjoy oral sex — beyond “the partner is not doing it right” idea above.

A man who has the opportunity to receive only oral sex — because he and his partner are not yet having intercourse — probably likes oral sex a lot simply because it’s all he can get. Compare that man to the man who not only could receive oral sex, but could also have intercourse. For this latter man, his penis is spoiled by intercourse such that oral sex isn’t nearly as enjoyable any more.

There are many women in particular who not only do not enjoy receiving oral sex, but

ment also falls flat. According to the National Constitution Center, the United States has not issued a declaration of war since World War II. All military conflicts have either been joint resolutions

by Congress, United Nations efforts or executed under the War Powers Act, which has been controversial since its inception in 1973.

If you, Ms. Di Raffaele, are going to express your opinions over terrorism that happens within our country, please inform yourself of the history and conditions that exist within said country.

I know it takes a little investigative power, but it will make your opinions that much more valid, instead of turning off readers with fewer facts.

type that all men are domineering and controlling. And worse, it conditions societies to accept that myth and perpetuate it to their children. It is the classic snake eating its own tail, and it is not beneficial for anyone.

As Sam Femiano and Mark Nickerson of the Center for Media Literacy tell us, “(stereotypes) are damaging because they narrow our notions of what men can be and do.”

Further, they state “(‘narrow masculine standards’) can also prevent men themselves from living up to their full potential as human beings.”

It is a healthy, positive aspect of life to be in touch with your emotions, to accept failure and to not always be the one in control.

We can teach all this to our boys and young men today and in so doing, we can work toward equality and dismantling the patriarchal societies of the past and present, which in turn can only lead to more realistic potentials for men — and that is something that truly benefits everyone.

upset in order to consider broader concepts.

It isn’t a protest unless it tries to promote change and communicates its message as clearly and peacefully as possible.

What isn’t remembered are the protests that were relegated to a special “safe” area and didn’t spread their messages.

What is remembered are the protests of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., the steady marches and the quiet logic that disrupted and demanded positive change.

Even our own fellow students followed this tradition with the die-in protest a few weeks ago in the Memorial Union quad.

Yes, pathways were obstructed, but it was ultimately to garner attention for an important message and a protest against police brutality.

If someone has to walk in the grass or step over students lying down on the ground in order for a message to sink in, maybe it will stick with them.

We commend the students who went above and beyond to reiterate how important the issue of raised tuition is for everyone.
