Sid Cooper, assistant director of building services at the Memorial Union, releases a screw near a window on the second floor of Snell Hall. Water trapped in the seams of the wall from previous rainfalls pours out into a bucket for more than 30 seconds.

Snell Hall will continue to function as a center for general occupancy following the completion of the Student Experience Center.

Constructed as a temporary residence hall in 1959, Snell was repurposed in 1977 to adjust to an expansion of activities and programs at the Memorial Union. When built, construction on the five-story building was intended to serve a growing population of returning war veterans who wanted to enroll at Oregon State University.

Marcey Bamba, assistant director of clinical services at OSU’s Counseling and Psychological Services, started working in Snell around the year 2000.

“When I started here 15 years ago, I was told this was a temporary building,” Bamba said.

University to potentially provide all Oregon State studentathletes with free food, snacks

All Oregon State student-athletes may soon have access to unlimited meals and snacks, should the university decide to implement a policy recently approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association Legislative Council.

The policy, which goes into effect August 1, allows Division I universities to “provide meals and snacks to student-athletes as a benefit incidental to participation in intercollegiate athletics,” according to a NCAA Legislative Council report. Adopted during the council’s April session, the decision permits, but does not require, institutions to offer such amenities.

OSU is a certified NCAA Division I institution, making it eligible for the potential provisions change. Division I universities must follow a strict set of rules as established by the Legislative Council. Compensation for food is just one such regulated category.

As of yet, OSU has made no official decision regarding the adoption of the new policy.

“Student-athlete welfare at Oregon State University is a high priority,” said Steve Fenk, OSU associate director of communications. “We have made a commitment to healthy eating habits by adding a full-time nutritionist who will start July 1. As our philosophy relates to this specific proposal, OSU athletics will be in line with our fellow Pac-12 Conference members.”

Currently, OSU student-athletes receive a certain number of meals per day depending on their sport and scholarship package.

“Everyone (who is on full scholarship) gets a scholarship check for the same amount,” said OSU women’s basketball guard Ali Gibson. “Football gets three meals a day, but that gets taken out of their scholarship check.

We get one meal a day, four days a week, but a bigger scholarship check.”

Under the current system, OSU athletes receive their allotted meals in the Valley Football Center. Athletes must check in and choose whether they will stay to eat or take a container of food to go. Gibson said this policy exists to cut down on the number of athletes taking extra food for their friends.

The athletics department has yet to decide if it would use the same location and system under the new policy, according to Fenk.

Gibson, a junior studying economics, said the extra meals and snacks would help many student-athletes financially.

“I have people on my team who have to pay for things separately (without help from their parents), and they definitely have to budget,” Gibson said. “If you’re on your own like most people are in college, food does become an issue or something else will have to suffer.”

Kathy Jederlinich is on a mission to brighten Corvallis with community-made art for everyone to enjoy.

A community art educator for more than 30 years, her passion for art and community involvement inspired her to start workshops at the Benton County Fairgrounds in what she calls the Backbone Murals and Mosaic project.

“The people are the backbone of the community,” Jederlinich said. “Without people, there is no community.”

There are myriad art projects being constructed within the Backbone Murals and Mosaic workshops. One main piece in progress will be a mural made of 600 individual tiles carved with locally found plants and animals that, when stained and put together, will create a scene of rural Oregon wine country.

Jederlinich has taken this project to schools, the Corvallis Farmer’s Market and the Corvallis Senior Center for the community to paint. She has more than 300 of the tiles finished.

When the project is completed, it will be installed in the garden area at the fairgrounds.

“What a beautiful way to give back to the community,” Jederlinich said.

Jederlinich has worked as an art educator with all ages, from kindergarten students to adults, and she hopes this type of community art involvement will start here and spread to all areas of the community.

“You don’t have to have any experience,” Jederlinich said.

“I’d rather they come explore the possibilities.”

Jederlinich said she often has people who are intimidated by art and say they don’t know how to create.

“There is no right or wrong in art,” Jederlinich said. “Once

you know the technique, you can do it. I never do something that you can’t succeed at.”

Angela Johnson was one participant Tuesday learning how to carve an owl into a clay tile. She heard about the workshops and decided to try it without much prior experience.

“I just wanted to come and learn how to do mosaics,” Johnson said.

That is exactly what Jederlinich hopes people will do. She said the learning process is constant, and she is always finding new ways to do things with the help of her students.

Most of the tools used in workshops are not exactly what you might find in a traditional art studio. She has foam food containers and wood blocks that have been cut and pressed into shapes for paint stamping on old vinyl banners.

“There are a lot of reclaimed, recycled products. I totally believe in it,” Jederlinich said.

Many of the ceramic pieces for the mosaics come from broken plates and tiles. Jederlinich scours Craigslist for unwanted

donation materials.

Tool and supply donations are always accepted.

Participants are encouraged, but not required to give a donation to keep the workshops available for everyone.

Jederlinich hopes these

workshops will produce art for visitors to enjoy and foster a sense of community pride and fulfillment for participants.

“They can create a legacy,” Jederlinich said. “It’s bragging rights. You can come back years later and say ‘I did that.’”

Jederlinich has not set an end date for the project. She hosts workshops Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

The nursing students also discovered discrepancies between state law and Gervais School District’s sex education curriculum. Oregon requires schools to teach about both abstinence and contraception, but the slides did not indicate specifically how Gervais strayed from state law.

The presentation also pointed at the lack of access to condoms and information as a problem. Forty-two percent of Gervais High School students surveyed responded that they “never” or “sometimes” use anything to protect themselves from pregnancy or sexually

Shriners Hospitals for Children provide donkeys and miracles

By Ted Shorack DAILY ASTORIAN dailyastorian.com

ASTORIA — Surgeries were a regular occurrence for Judy Coulombe during her childhood.

As her bones failed to develop properly, her left leg wouldn’t stay straight.

But when she was 5 years old, circumstances changed.

Her family was introduced to Shriners Hospital for Children in San Francisco. “I never thought I was going to walk on that leg again,� she said. “They perform miracles.�

Coulombe’s family would eventually move to Astoria in 1955 and continue with Shriners Hospital in Portland. Shriners Hospitals provide specialty care to children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate, regardless of the patients’ ability to pay.

Coulombe graduated from Astoria High School in 1962.

The now 69-year-old resident of Clatsop Care Center in Astoria made a trip out Saturday to support the organization that has meant so much to her. Coulombe attended Donkey Basketball at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, a Shriners’ fundraising event. “When I heard it was for Shriners, that made me want to go all the more,� said Coulombe.

Coulombe hollered and cheered as riders passed the ball and did their best to shoot.

TED SHORACK

| DAILY ASTORIAN

The 69-year-old Clatsop Care Center resident was able to attend and wanted to support the event because of everything Shriners Hospital did for her as a child.

During halftime, she was able to get up close and pet one of the donkeys.

Shriners step in Coulombe’s first surgery on her leg occurred at a Sacramentoarea hospital, where her family had lived after moving from Minnesota. When she was a toddler, her left leg began to bow outward and it became shorter than her right leg. “I’ve seen pictures of it and I don’t know how I walked on it,�

Coulombe said. It caused her to have severe sideaches.

The hospital put her in a cast and had her use a lift to keep the legs at equal length. But the bones in her left leg started curv-

ing again. Her father heard from someone at work about the San Francisco Shriners Hospital.

Coulombe stayed at the hospital for a month as X-rays were conducted and surgeons learned more about her condition.

Doctors eventually conducted two surgeries and fused vertebrae to correct her lower spine.

Coulombe was also placed in a 20-pound body cast and stayed at the hospital for three months.

While she was at the hospital, Coulombe kept up her spirits by appreciating the flowers outside the hospital and talking with other patients. She was also eager to get out and receive a bicycle her parents had promised her.

The doctors told her she would be able to ride a bike after the cast was removed. “Because of them, I rode a bike,� she said.

After returning home from Shriners Hospital she looked for a bicycle with her parents. They didn’t have any luck at first, but one day, after returning from school, Coulombe was surprised to find one when she went out to do her chores. “I went out in the back and there’s this blue Schwinn bike,� she said.

Working around the problems Coulombe’s legs never fully developed after the surgeries, however, and she faced ongoing difficulties. “People can be very cruel,� she said. “I was very short and they would point at me and call me names I don’t like.�

When the family moved to Astoria, Coulombe was taken to the Shriners Hospital at Northeast 82nd Avenue and Sandy Boulevard in Portland for additional braces on her left leg and an operation. The hospital is now at Oregon Health & Science University.

As she got older, Coulombe was able to drive with adjustments to the pedals. She got her license when she turned 25 and bought her first car that same year. After taking a civil service exam, she went on to work various jobs at Tongue Point Job Corps for 13 years.

and a turkey sandwich recipe influenced by their respective regions’ cultures. Additionally, one of the entree options had to be considered heart healthy, one had to be vegetarian or vegan and one had to be gluten-free.

Michaela Zucker, a senior in the class and team leader for the Asian cuisine group, said she learned a lot about the work it takes to plan a menu. Zucker mentioned that making market orders and transposing their recipes into quantifiable weights and amounts for large-scale cooking was a particularly timeconsuming part of the process.

Tabeya and Zucker shared the goal of exposing the Oregon State community to new flavors, but Tabeya mentioned some concern over the African stew her team would be serving as an entree, saying that while the recipe was delicious, many people are reluctant to try new foods.

“It might be challenging for people to taste (recipes) from different countries, but that’s our target,” she said. “We spread new taste in the community. All the menus look great and are very exciting.”

The team leaders — Tabeya, Zucker and their classmate, Natalie Eriksen — each said that the team coordination was initially the most difficult part of the project.

“We’re classmates,” Zucker said. “I’m not their mom, so it’s hard to get everyone to take responsibility. But everyone’s pretty good about it.”

After her first day on the job, Eriksen said that despite a hectic lunch hour, it was exciting to see the culmination of their class’s work.

“We had a lot of good planning, which made it less crazy,” she said. “It’s been really nice seeing everything come together, seeing all our recipes and seeing all our decorations out.”

Tabeya, Zucker and Eriksen all agreed that taste-testing the recipes earlier in the term was the best part of the experience prior to their serving day. Each had their own favorite recipe for their menus.

Tabeya, though concerned about the recipe, said their African stew was her favorite.

Zucker said her team’s fresh spring rolls are detail-oriented, but sure to be delicious. Eriksen said her group’s turkey sandwich recipe was a surprising blend with green beans and a dry salsa.

“Our event is just to expose people to the different cultural dishes,” Zucker said. “(To) get them excited about different flavors and fresh, delicious healthy food.”

and her colleagues on the fifth floor have witnessed everything from leaky roofs to random rat infestations during times of intense downpour.

“We don’t have any funds to get us to a different place, so we’re kind of stuck here,” Bamba said. “I guess I’m going to retire here. I don’t know.”

Sid Cooper, assistant director of building services at the MU, said the non-traditional thin walls within Snell act as a testament to the building’s original purpose.

“This is meant to keep weather out only, and it did a good job up to a certain point,” Cooper said.

As the building continued to age, problems began to arise.

On most floors in Snell, there are noticeable coffee-colored water stains running down the walls next to windows.

In some cases, minor water leaks have stained screws and thin metal beams.

“Every one of these is a seam, and water can penetrate those seams,” Cooper said.

When it rains, water becomes trapped in the walls and can sometimes leak out if certain screws are removed. In 2003, a mycologist came in to survey the building and concluded it was safer to keep the water contained, according to Cooper.

“It’s denying mold the oxygen it needs to grow,” Cooper said.

Steve Carpenter, the mycologist who conducted the survey for mold in Snell, said removing the water completely could seem both tedious and meaningless since rainwater would continue to collect over time.

“It’s not going to hurt anything if you leave it closed,” Carpenter said.

If people do become sick or concerned, it’s Carpenter’s job to evaluate buildings to see if a mold problem truly exists.

Kaitlyn Kohlenberg Campus reporter managing@dailybarometer.com

“What little mold we found (in Snell) was basically environmental stuff that comes in through the window,” Carpenter said.

Since the walls in Snell are composed of completely inorganic materials, greater amounts of mold cannot grow either way.

“Snell is a very unusual structure,” Carpenter said. “I’ve never seen a structure that was made out of aluminum sandwiches with fiberglass in the middle.”

In most cases, individuals will develop what Carpenter describes as “sick building syndrome” if they believe there’s a mold problem in any structure.

“There’s mold everywhere,” Carpenter said. “People are carrying mold back and forth, in and out of buildings, all day long.”

Cooper said rumors in regards to the building’s condemnation started around the time that talk of construction began for the new Student Experience Center, just east of the MU. Due to the building’s age and most programs moving to other locations, Snell has not received any significant repairs.

“We knew we weren’t going to be here that much longer,” Cooper said.

Snell Hall will remain as a space for organizations in need of occupancy during times of displacement. Currently, three cultural centers operate out of the fourth floor due to continuing construction efforts.

The estimated cost of demolition would range around $800,000, according to Cooper.

“The reality of it is the building is still sound, and the systems that provide support for the occupants are still operating,” he said.

PORTLAND — If you had a heart attack, Scott Brawner is first person you would want on the scene. Brawner has been a firefighter with Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue for 20 years, and has performed CPR “more times than he can count.”

Brawner was off duty last Friday working on the treadmill at 24-Hour fitness and listening to Pandora when an alarm sounded on his phone.

Two years ago, The Tualatin Valley Fire District began using Pulse Point, a smart phone app that notifies first responders and citizens who’ve been trained in CPR when they’re within walking distance of a person in cardiac arrest.

Clackamas Fire District 1, where Brawner lives, has also started using the app.

Brawner describes the app as interactive and intuitive to use. A map popped up on his phone,

schools can’t,” Anderson said.

“Overall, I think it’s a good thing to do and a step in the right (direction) for the NCAA.” The NCAA’s ruling came just weeks after University of Connecticut point guard Shabazz Napier told reporters he occasionally goes to bed hungry due to his scholarship’s failure to cover provisions like food. Although the association’s decision appeared to be in response to Napier’s statement, a debate around student-athlete wellbeing has been simmering for years.

As of yet, OSU has made no official decision on adopting the new policy, according to Fenk.

student-athletes alike.

“I’m thankful to have parents who are helping me out financially, but a lot of people don’t have that opportunity,” Anderson said. “I’m working this summer, but it’s tough because some guys are playing baseball all summer, too, so they don’t have the opportunity to go and work all summer to save up.”

The new policy poses potential logistic difficulties like finding additional funding and ensuring only student-athletes receive the free food. Fenk said the university has not finalized a budget plan, looking both internally and externally for guidance.

Yet the proposal stands to serve as a possible recruiting bonus, offering students a unique financial break.

“I can see it becoming a recruiting advantage if some schools can do it and some

man on the baseball team, agreed that playing Division 1 sports leaves little time for much else.

“It’s a full-time job, and that’s how everyone looks at it,” Anderson said. “We’re waking up early to lift and are done by 5 o’clock — you spend a lot of time doing it.

I don’t know anyone that’s on the team and has a job on the side. That tells you it’s very time-consuming.”

Anderson himself would be greatly impacted by the new policy, should OSU decide to adopt it. As a walk-on, Anderson has no athletic scholarship check or meal card to pay for his food. The NCAA’s approved proposal, however, accounts for scholarship and non-scholarship Rebolledo found himself fighting for his true identity.

Literally.

“There were times when I would get in a physical fight,” he said. “That I put myself out there to get hurt scared me.”

His experience in high school made him pull away from the LGBTQ community at OSU. Rebolledo did not want to be a part of any community.

But not long into his university experience, Rebolledo was encouraged by brothers in a fraternity to learn more about Greek life.

“They made the environment so welcoming,” he said. “I ended up joining and becoming a brother. I think it was one of the best decisions I made.”

Rebolledo thinks his experience with Greek life, as a student who identifies as gay, was rare.

“I never, in a million years, thought a frat boy would come up to me and say, ‘You

Brawner says he felt of moment of shock when he saw Basse’s face. He’d seen Basse working out in the gym an hour earlier.

“I picked him up out of the front seat, laid him on the ground, and performed CPR. I think my rescuer just kicked in at that point,” Brawner explained.

Brawner estimates he performed several hundred chest compressions, breaking many of Basse’s ribs, before a fire truck arrived and on-duty firefighters took over.

A spokesman for the Clackamas Fire District says Basse is expected to recover fully with no loss of cognitive function because CPR was administered so quickly.

should join our organization,’” Rebolledo said.

The issue of sexuality, Rebolledo said, gets swept under the rug. He feels members are afraid to come out and face their house with the truth.

“The social norm is not to talk about the issue,” he said.

He doesn’t think other houses in the Greek community will be inspired to host their own pride panel.

But Katlyn Taylor, president of Kappa Delta Chi and representative for the United Greek Council, hosted the event with other members in her sorority to spark a change.

“The Greek community and the LGBTQ community don’t really have much interaction,” Taylor said. “I’ve never heard of there being an outright issue with inclusivity, but I also know that it’s not something that is commonly discussed.”

tifies as a lesbian, attended Tuesday’s panel out of curiosity. She thinks the panel raised a lot of important issues. More importantly, the environment was one of acceptance.

“A lot of times, when you put labels on things, it can dehumanize it,” Means-Brous said in reference to sexual identity.

“When you have events like this, everyone is invited (and) that brings the issue to a more personal level.”

Still, she was not inspired to join Greek life. The community, she said, creates little opportunity for someone in the LGBTQ community to be comfortable.

“I would love to see more things like this on campus,” Means-Brous said, “see more of the Greek community be involved in events like this to feel comfortable.”

Wetzler should have won Pac-12 Player of the Year

I

t was not surprising to see Oregon State players named as the Pac-12 Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year.

The No. 1 Beavers dominated in the conference, and have some of the best individual players in the nation.

What was surprising was that it was Jace Fry, not Ben Wetzler, who was named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year.

To be clear, this is not an indictment on Fry. The junior left-hander has been outstanding all year, and his statistics would warrant this award nine out of 10 times.

This is that 10th time.

It is baffling that the Pac-12 did not give the honor to Wetzler. There is only one non-statistical factor that differentiates the two pitchers: Wetzler has two suspensions in 2014, Fry has none.

We have seen this kind of action at the professional level in baseball.

The Baseball Writers’ Association of America has decided to play God in recent years by omitting players who have been linked to the use of performance-enhancing drugs from its ballots.

That’s something I vehemently disagree with, but that is another conversation.

Wetzler — unlike Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro and the gang of balloon heads — did not cheat to achieve on-field success.

His first suspension was for using an adviser during contract negotiations with the Philadelphia Phillies. His second was for breaking a window at a residence he thought was his own, while he was intoxicated.

The latter suspension was valid, the first is questionable. Neither of the suspensions affected his on-field performance.

A person giving him legal advice for a major league contract did not contribute to his nation-leading 0.74 earned run average. Punching glass did not make it more likely for him to throw a complete-game shutout against Washington in his next start. It probably made it more difficult.

At least the baseball writers are neglecting players whose actions significantly improved their performance. If not, Ty Cobb would never have sniffed the Hall of Fame. That guy assaulted a man with no arms, was a blatant racist and sharpened his metal spikes to take out players when he slid.

Wetzler’s actions, while the subsequent suspensions may have been warranted, did not make him the dominant pitcher he is.

Fry has had an incredible season.

He has four complete-game shutouts, one of which was a no-hitter. His ERA, WHIP and wins this season are all in the national top 25.

Wetzler’s season, however, has been otherworldly. He is allowing a hit every 2.1 innings and an earned run every 11.9 innings. Wetzler’s ERA is first in the nation, his WHIP is third and his wins are tied for ninth.

The question shouldn’t be: Is Wetzler the best pitcher in the Pac12? It should be: Is he the best pitcher in the country?

Fry has Wetzler beat in innings pitched (because of the 11-game suspension at the beginning of the See STRAUSBAUGH | page 6

Conforto, Fry earn top honors n

Conforto named Pac-12 Player of the Year, Fry named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, 5 other Beavers honored THE DAILY BAROMETER

Oregon State left fielder Michael Conforto and left-handed pitcher Jace Fry received two of the Pac-12’s highest honors Wednesday.

Conforto was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year and Fry was named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year for the No. 1 Beavers.

It’s the second-straight season Conforto has been named the Pac-12 Player of the Year. Fry becomes the first Oregon State pitcher to be honored with the award since 1999, when it was the Pac-10.

Oregon State joined Arizona State and Stanford as the only two teams in the conference to have both the player and pitcher of the year in the same season.

It’s Conforto’s third time earning postseason honors in three seasons, as he was the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year two seasons ago. This year, he ended the regular season as the Pac-12 batting champion with a .364 average. He also led the league in slugging percentage (.578), on-base percentage (.518), runs scored (50) and walks (50).

He was second to teammate Dylan Davis in runs batted in (55) and total bases (108), was third in home runs (seven), fifth in doubles (15) and seventh in hits (68).

Conforto also proved to be a weapon on defense, accounting for five outfield assists this season.

Fry, meanwhile, earned his first career postseason honor in his first full season back from Tommy John Surgery since his freshman campaign in 2012.

The junior left-hander ended the regular season tied for most wins in the conference with 11, and his 1.43 earned run average was third in the Pac-12. Opponents hit just .192 against him (second in the Pac12) and he struck out 94 batters (third in the Pac-12).

Fry threw four complete games this season, all of which were shutouts. The four outings tie him for second-most in a single season at Oregon State, just one shy of Cecil Ira in 1963.

The Beaverton native threw a no-hitter earlier this season against Northern Illinois.

In addition to being named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, Fry was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week three different times this season.

Fry was also an all-defensive team selection.

While Conforto and Fry are the biggest standouts of OSU’s postseason accolades, three other Beavers earned First Team All-

Pac-12 honors.

Junior Dylan Davis, sophomore Jeff Hendrix and senior Ben Wetzler were all named to the first team.

It was Davis’ second consecutive firstteam selection after hitting .286 with six home runs and led the conference in RBIs. He added 13 doubles playing primarily right field, but also saw significant action as a pitcher for the Beavers this season.

Wetzler, Oregon State’s left-handed ace, is a first-team selection after finishing the regular season with the lowest ERA in the nation at 0.74. He’s 21-2 over the past two seasons and opponents batted just .144 against him this season. He struck out 73 batters in 95 innings pitched.

Hendrix, meanwhile, is the last Beaver to be named to the first team after finishing the year third in the Pac-12 in batting average at .355. He hit eight doubles, two home runs and accounted for 28 RBIs in See BASEBALL | page 6

OSU’s Eiffel N

o, it’s not the MU Crane.

It’s Snell Hall.

That’s right, Snell is Oregon State University’s Eiffel Tower.

Stick with us, here. We haven’t lost our minds, even though dead week and finals are just around the corner.

Snell was designed and built as a temporary residence hall in 1959, for veterans on the GI Bill following the Vietnam War. This temporary building is now 55 years old with no plans to come down anytime soon, and is no longer a residence hall — but when new offices move in, people are still being told the building is temporary.

If you really think about it, all buildings are temporary, since none of them are going to last forever. And we’re beginning to think that the school administration has redefined the word to mean exactly that, in regards to this building.

But how does that make it like the Eiffel Tower? Snell is a slightly run-down, ugly, blue fiberglass and red brick building on a college campus. The Eiffel Tower is an iconic and awe-inspiring tourist attraction in Paris.

Well, the Eiffel Tower was a temporary tourist attraction built for the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris. It was only supposed to stay up for 20 years, but it got a case governmental priapism when the government realized the tallest structure in the world (until New York’s Chrysler Building was erected in 1930) would be incredibly useful as a radiotelegraph station and glorified antennae-holder, so it was never torn down.

But what does an ex-residence hall have to do with a tourist attraction? The Eiffel Tower has been home to many things over the years: restaurants, scientific laboratories, radio stations and even people.

Gustave Eiffel stuck an apartment on the top of the tower so he could impress important people with his view (we assume). It’s sadly no longer in use as an apartment — imagine the rent, or the walk up the stairs with bags of groceries if the elevators ever quit — but is instead a life-size diorama of the Eiffels having Thomas Edison over for tea.

We don’t have a creepy, life-sized diorama on the top floor of Snell Hall.

At least, we don’t think we do.

But even without the creepy waxwork people, the correlations between Snell and the Eiffel Tower are obvious. Snell Hall really is OSU’s response to — or copycat attempt of — the Eiffel Tower.

Except uglier, with less rust (we hope) and we don’t charge people admission or have a restaurant.

But if the administration really wants to go the distance, it should make the same commitment to upkeep that France eventually did for the Tower.

If you’re keeping a temporary structure around as a permanent erection, some changes need to be made — the first of which is to stop telling people that the building is temporary. It just makes you look silly.

We’re not asking for a paint job every seven years or anything, but maybe look into plugging the leak responsible for Snell’s water damage?

Confrontation is sometimes necessary, isn’t all bad I

ask myself all the time if confrontation is necessary — mostly under the pretense that I’m choosing my battles wisely.

Knowing when to have tough conversations is important in maintaining healthy relationships and being comfortable with yourself.

It’s important, as an adult, to know how to confront someone in a nonthreatening way, and to know when it’s appropriate to do so. For example, do you confront your roommate every time you step on her neglected hair-straightener cord, or when the kitchen sink is filled with dishes?

Or do you let those things go, hoping, passive-aggressively, that she’ll trip over the cord herself and notice on her own?

Discretion is key, as with all other things. Beforehand, determine what’s going to accidentally sound offensive

Gabi

Scottaline to the other person, and assess if the issue at hand will be received well.

Sometimes, you still have to confront someone about something regardless of unsavory outcomes.

But when you’re deciding if it’s going to be a good idea, look at the practical side of things. Figure out before instigating confrontation, to the best of your abilities, if an honest conversation will help your relationship or solve the problem at hand.

If it’s a break-up of any kind (breaking off friendships or romantic relationships), it’s important to have a face-to-face conversation,

because this shows the other person that you think they are worth your time and energy, even at the risk of possible discomfort.

We won’t always say the right things in the right way, but trying is worth something.

Confrontation over text, note, email or any other written or message-based medium can foster hard feelings and create a volatile situation. Because these methods are so one-sided, it can feel more like an attack than an informative communication, even if it seems more efficient to you.

It’s also important to avoid any sort of passive-aggression in a confrontation. People appreciate honesty. Most of the time, people recognize honesty for what it is. Passiveaggression is not even close to efficient or up-front communication.

It’s best to avoid concluding that

Dismantling, disproving, despising Rodger’s motivations

L

et me start by sending my heart to Isla Vista, Calif., and those affected by this tragedy.

Elliot Rodger killed several and wounded many Friday in the college town near Santa Barbara. The killer then took his own life, leaving behind a series of videos and a 141page “manifesto” as an explanation.

I could easily rant about Rodger’s racism, his misogynist views and general narcissistic philosophy. I could rant about guns and why

people like Rodger shouldn’t get them. I could rant about how mental health is a huge factor that needs to be bolstered in our society.

But really, the logic behind the despicable actions of this pathetic excuse of a human being revolve

around the concept of fairness and a list of what the world owes you.

Sometime around junior high and high school, I’d say the majority of us learn that life isn’t fair. Instead of whining about it, we take this in stride, accept it, mature and see the world as a much more flexible place.

Rodger must have missed this crucial lesson in life, which Mike Myatt from Forbes Magazine comments that, regarding the concept of fairness, “people’s desire and determiSee RUUD | page 8

someone’s being passive-aggressive toward you, even if you sense it from others, because misinterpretation can only make hard conversations that much more difficult. Stay away from it all together when trying to talk honestly to someone about something.

You want to know that you did the best you could in situations that call for a direct conversation. Clarity, honesty and straightforwardness are all key ingredients to a respectful confrontation. Without these, when dealing with hurt feelings and a much-needed conversation, it can all spiral out of control and lead to places you never wished to visit and things you wished you never said. t

Progress, but not for me N

ear the end of my junior year here, I noticed that Oregon State University was building something new by the Memorial Union. (It was kind of hard to miss.)

At the same time, OSU was also in the process of putting in a new book store

by Reser Stadium, fully equipped with a campus Dutch Bros.

Continuing into my senior year, I began noticing the streets in Corvallis being repaved, and that the taxpayers’ money is now going to fixing 15th Street and Washington Way on campus — and it’s about time.

But I won’t get to enjoy it.

Where was this when I had to buy books in the MU freshman year?

Or when trying to park in the MU parking lot was like a weird game of “Tron” — but only if you had change for the meter?

The theme here is something I’ve seen before. Maybe you have, too.

Just before I left for college, my hometown started getting a complete overhaul. The school I graduated from was remodeled, the streets were repaved and new traffic lights were installed — maybe I wouldn’t have crashed into my teacher’s car if it had all been there earlier. But I digress.

It’s not just the government, or the school administration: When I moved out of my parents’ house for college, my room was turned into a bonus room. It became my little brother’s “second room,” as he called it.

I’m not a subscriber to the Illuminati or the conspiracy fan club monthly letter, but these are a lot of coincidences. It’s almost like everyone’s saying “we’re better off now that you’re gone.”

I only hope I can buck this trend before I get a job; who knows what ramifications that could have? It’d be like me leaving a company that pays me poorly to only learn the next day everyone got a million-dollar bonus.

Did I miss a memo, or a meeting, where it was announced that everything is going to get better — but only after I leave?

Luckily, I’m not alone.

I’ve spoken with my friends, and they all said they went through the same thing. One guy’s parents actually got a home theater installed in See GREVSTAD | page 8

RUUD n Continued from page 7 nation can work around or overcome most life challenges.”

Rodger felt that the world owed him happiness, success and a beautiful woman to have sex with. Stereotypes of what qualifies a “man” in our society. Superficial cardboard cutouts of supposed guaranteed happiness. The frosting on a cake.

According to a timeline of Rodger’s actions leading up to the massacre in Santa Barbara by Alan Duke from CNN, Rodger wrote things in his manifesto such as: “I was desperate to have the life I know I deserve; a life of being wanted by attractive girls, a life of sex and love. Other men are able to have such a life ... so why not me? I deserve it! I am magnificent, no matter how much the world treated me otherwise.

I am destined for great things.”

He also claimed that he was going to “give the world one last chance,” and if things didn’t go well at college, then he would seek vengeance.

Things did not go well. Rodger dealt with his dissatisfaction by pouring hot coffee and iced tea on young couples and on girls who “snubbed” him.

Because, obviously, that’s the way to get a girlfriend — become infamous as that guy who poured things on people when he didn’t get his way.

Guys have rejected and snubbed me before — does that mean it’s OK for me to pour hot liquid on them like a 2-yearold throwing a tantrum?

Or you know, go to a party, get blasted and try to push girls off of a 10-foot ledge. And if that doesn’t work, then your next step should be to blame all women, unanimously, for not wanting to have sex with you, because you think you are “the superior one,” according to Hadley Freeman’s Guardian piece on Rodger’s misogyny.

There’s a quote from Mark Twain that sums it all up beautifully: “Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living.

The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”

Rodger was an individual who chose to blame the world for his problems, instead of looking in the mirror, re-evaluating how to make himself a better person and looking at more fulfilling methods for finding happiness.

I concede that we live in a society that treats its citizens in shades of extreme, and calls for going big or going home.

Having been a wallflower myself, I understand Rodger’s fear of talking to other people, and of rejection. I acknowledge that Rodger obviously suffered from some level of disturbance, judging from the fact that he was seeing multiple therapists, the unwarranted rage in his YouTube videos and his manifesto.

But that doesn’t excuse him or create sympathy for the origins of his actions. His philosophy was twisted, his sense of what makes happiness rotted by both our society’s dogma and his own asinine tunnel vision.

At the end of the day, it’s just a damn tragedy. t

Sunday arrests lead to Wednesday drug raid

By Phil Wright

EAST OREGONIAN eastoregonian.com

PENDLETON — Pendleton police and members of the Blue Mountain Narcotics Enforcement Team raided a drug house Wednesday in Pendleton. BENT leader and Pendleton police Sgt. Rick Jackson said information that led to the bust came from arrests earlier in the week.

Neighbors said the single-story rental home at 603 S.W. Second St. had a reputation for drug dealing. Jackson said several citizens complained about the house as “a problem area” and “a drug house.”

That led Pendleton police Sunday to arrest Travis James Virgil, 26, and Kaila Leann Ruth, 26, both of Pendleton, for possession and delivery of methamphetamine.

“They had 30 grams of meth — that’s a substantial quantity in the county,” he said.

And more than enough to sell.

A “normal use” is about a quarter of a gram, according to police.

Pendleton police handed the information to BENT, which obtained a warrant to search the home for drugs, drug records, and items and materials for drug dealing, Jackson said.

Pendleton police and BENT executed that warrant about 10 a.m.

Pendleton police and members of the Blue Mountain Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team raided a house Wednesday at 603 S.W. Second St., Pendleton. was “low key,” meaning officers did not have to bust down doors and use other dynamic tactics to enter the house.

Jackson said police at the scene arrested and released Terra K. Johnson, 25, and Adam G. Saad, 22, for one count each of fre-

quenting a place where drugs are used and four counts each of endangering the welfare of a minor. Johnson was also wanted on a warrant for failure to appear.

There were two younger children and a pair of month-old babies at the home. Police also

found “user quantities” of meth during the search, Jackson said, so more charges are pending, along with more busts.

“There will be — not just probably — there will be additional search warrants in connection with this case,” Jackson said.

Summer is a great time to fill in the gaps in your schedule

Amanda McDougall Hometown: Kona, Hawaii LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Student ASLBCC Student Body President, 2 years AAOT in Education, June 2014

“

I learned that I could come to LBCC to take a lot of my transfer credits and to catch up on my math, then transfer to OSU.

• Communication

• Other general science (GS), classes for non-STEM bacc core

• Calculus

• PE 231 (Lifetime Health and Fitness)

• Literature & Arts

• Spanish, including a concentrated 101/102

• Biology

It’s a great place. LBCC gives students the ability to take their bacc core classes at the community college, which is cheaper than the university but you still get quality education, then transfer to

• HE 100 (Intro to Public Health) • Writing 227 (Technical Writing) • And many others!

Fill In The Degree Pie

Instructors give a lot of time to their students, and helped me to make sure I was taking the correct classes for transfer.
