inflatable slide shaped like a shark.

The slide was primarily meant to garner attention from the student body and have them learn more about the SSI and water conservation, sophomore natural resources major and SSI Water Projects Coordinator, Tara Dunn said.

The pledges offered advice to students as to how they can conserve water in whatever way best suits their lifestyle, such as avoiding over-

watering lawns and gardens, drinking bottled water or using alternative modes of transportation that use less fuel.

According to Dunn, 228 students signed the water conservation pledges.

While the SSI hosted a gardening party later on Tuesday night, Water Wonderland was their last large-scale event of the year.

“It’s kind of our last hurrah,” Dunn said. baro.news@oregonstate.edu

By Alexandra LaCesa Practicum Contributor

Initially established as the Asian Cultural Center in 1980, and officially establishing in 1990, the Asian Pacific Cultural Center (APCC) took its current name in 2003.

Embracing their 26th year at Oregon State University, the APCC is one of the many places on campus that offers a friendly hand to students while promoting diversity.

The APCC was recently reopened in 2015 at its new location across the street from the

Weatherford residence hall on the OSU campus, with the goal of creating a comfortable and welcoming place for students to come in and spend time.

Student Liaison Keanu Chee, has been working at the cultural center for the past year.

Recommended for the position by his cousin, Chee saw the opportunity to gain leadership experience, applied and went through various steps of training get the position.

“As far as the required training, we do a lot of team building activities,” Chee said.”You go through social justice training, how to identify inequalities on campus and they teach you how to respond and not react.”

Being a liaison, Chee not only

offers his time to the APCC but acts as a resource for any questions or concerns his peers may have for him.

“We are always zoned in on what we are doing, our main objective when people come in is to show them as much attention as possible,” Chee said. “If we don’t have the resources here, we will definitely help find them.”

According to Chee, his favorite thing about the APCC is that it has more to offer other than cultural aspects on campus.

“Besides the people I work with and my boss, it is a very studious place,” Chee said.

“Sometimes people look too much at the cultural part and not enough at the resource part,

Monday morning a group of Oregon State baseball players gathered outside of Reser Stadium.

Shock had taken over the players with one thing that was on all of their minds: “What now?”

Caleb Hamilton picked up his golf clubs for the first time since last summer. He, along with teammates Scotland Church, Michael Gretler and Tommy Paul spent their Memorial Day playing 18 holes at Trying Tree Golf Club.

After playing 54 baseball games since the middle of February, a round of 18 holes provided a break from the game that has engulfed each of them for the last three months.

“We got away from OSU baseball,” said Hamilton. “It was a chance to bond in ways outside of baseball.”

As good of a time as hitting balls around the golf course may have been, there was an underlying frustration.

“Something didn’t work out in our favor,” Hamilton said.

What didn’t work out in their favor, was being left out of the postseason play for only the second time since 2005, and first

NUMBER

Straight years that OSU baseball had made the NCAA Tournament

since 2008.

The team held a private viewing party at the Loge at Reser Stadium and felt good about where they stood in the conference. They had won series’ against three of the top four teams in the conference, winning two of three against Washington and eventual Pac12 champ Utah, while sweeping Arizona State to open conference play.

Even with losses to Portland, Washington State, California and to Oregon in the Civil War, there was a consensus feeling that they would hear their name called.

“We only can control what we did in this series and we did our job,” said head coach Pat Casey after Sunday’s game. “I understand that there’s some games that we lost that could hurt us, but I’m confident that we have done what we need to do to get in the tournament.”

“I thought it was a 95 percent chance we would get in when I went to bed (the night before,)” said freshman pitcher Bryce Fehmel on Monday.

At a private viewing party held in the Loge in Reser Stadium, the team’s anxiety level grew higher and higher as each regional began to fill up. Pundits projected that the Beavers would play in the Lubbock, Texas regional, once that regional had filled up, the room grew quiet. When the final regional was announced, the room became dead silent.

I understand that there’s some games that we lost that could hurt us, but I’m confident that we have done what we need to do toget in the tournament.

Pat Casey Head Coach Sixty four teams heard their name called—including Utah, Washington, Arizona State and Arizona from the Pac-12—but Oregon State was not one of them.

“It’s sketchy each year,” said Hamilton. “We felt good that we beat three of the top teams (in the Pac-12).

What made the decision all the more shocking, was how the Beavers had been playing the final two weeks of the season.

Entering the final week of the regular season, the team was well aware that their postseason hopes were hanging in the balance. Taking two of three games

Staff Picks: NBA Finals Who wins the series?

I’m going with the Cavs. They took the Warriors to Game 6 last season without Kevin Love or Kyrie Irving, unlike last year both are healthy (knock on wood) going into the Finals.

Whoʼs your MVP?

The King not only gets his third ring, but also gets his third Finals MVP. He hasn’t shied away from expressing he’s upset that Steph was named the first ever unanimous regular season MVP. This will be his payback.

By Brian Rathbone Senior Beat Reporter

Basketball fans. Who could ask for a better match up? Fans get to see the (relatively) new kid take it to the player who has dominated the basketball spotlight since his high school years. Fans get to see LeBron James desperately fight for a championship and not become the second most losing player in NBA Finals history. And they get to see the nets set to fire by both teams’ extraordinary three-point shooting.

By Max Braly

With only Kevin Love to defend him, Draymond Green will average an easy triple-double for the duration of the series and earn the title of Finals MVP.

Sports Contributor

After seeing #DubNation come back from a 1-3 deficit, the Warriors take this series and repeat as champs. The Warriors motto is “Strength in Numbers” and their depth and the superhuman ability of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will propel them to their second straight ring.

Curry. He didn’t have a great Finals statistically last season, and he watched his teammate Andre Iguodala be named Finals MVP even after he won the regular season MVP. He will put Kyrie Irving through a washing machine as he averages 30 points per game.

Letters to the editor

Farewell from outgoing student representative

DENNIS VAN TINE | ABACA PRESS

Today marks the end of my tenure serving in the student government as ASOSU senator (2015) and ASOSU graduate representative (2015-2016). It was about 100 volunteering hours of talking to constituents, practicing parliamentary procedures, writing bills and resolutions. Most importantly, this was a challenge to my colleagues and myself to truly represent the student body in our decisions.

I’m thankful to all student leaders who helped me pass important bills. Together, we helped to fund and support student organizations especial-

ly those who bring innovative ideas to light. During the past year, I contributed in authoring and sponsoring important resolutions such as (JR-07.01) that called for supporting students of protected class from acts of discrimination. With no doubt, ASOSU needs to do a lot more. And that can’t happen without students showing up and speaking up. Just like what happened last week.

Today, I reflect on the time earlier this year when I joined the university lobbying day in Salem. It was the day where I discovered that the state legislators are not doing enough

to support higher education and the future of Oregon. I am determined to change that by running for the State House representing Corvallis and Philomath in Salem. I ask students, faculty, and staff to support my campaign atsami2016. com. Because the basic, yet critical, question that I’ll keep asking will stay the same: “Am I putting my priorities consistent with the priorities of the people who I represent?”

Whatʼs next for Clinton, Sanders Restroom ethics

une 7, which may come to be known as “the day of political reckoning,” is upon us.

The Democratic National Convention will not take place until July, but the primary contests of what continues to be one of the wackiest election periods of our time will reach a pivotal moment in a week for now.

California, which will award each candidate a mixture of 500 total delegates, will take place along with the primaries in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and a South Dakota Caucus. In addition, Puerto Rico will hold its primary, which offers around 60 delegates, on Sunday, June 5.

Bernie Sanders, everyone’s favorite Larry David impersonator, could easily be awarded the majority of delegates. This would not necessarily put him ahead of Hillary Clinton, but his campaign could reaffirm claims that his uphill battle continues with great force (and a very good chance of persuading the superdelegates at the DNC).

and nieces, could surprise and astonish (and likely infuriate the “Berner” masses) if she “clinches” the nomination as many news outlets have predicted, and sweeps through victories over the next week.

Either way, there’s a pretty good chance we’re looking at a contested convention, as neither one of the candidates would likely win the nearly 2,300 delegates needed (that’s pledged delegates, not superdelegates) for the party’s nomination.

Regardless of the outcome, both will have to likely work together in the end to ensure a Democratic victory for the White House.

Unfortunately, some supporters on both sides have seemed a bit rough.

Take, for instance, the continued conversation on the premise of “Bernie Bros.”

In a February article from The Slate, author Amanda Hess touches on the unfortunate reality of some pro-Bernie supporters who have been rather sexist when they combat Hillary fans.

She offers an objective look into the reality of the situation, also citing Glenn Greenwald’s article titled “The ‘Bernie Bros’ Narrative: a Cheap Campaign Tactic Masquerading as Journalism and Social Activism.”

The overall reality of the situation is that we merely have a select group of jerks who just happen to be making others look bad.

Meanwhile, as Greenwald’s article points out, some Hillary supporters have been just as ridiculous in their own way.

Again, each author proves a point in regards to how this seems to originate from both sides. But that just seems to be politics as of late.

The left will need to find ways to reunite regardless of the turnout.

Because, as I stated in my May 12 column, we cannot let this get out of hand.

But unfortunately, as this election season has displayed, it appears as though we’re in quite the cooperative bind as a nation.

I liked the idea that John Oliver suggested on “Last Week Tonight”: We should not care only about the primary process when primary season happens, but get angry about the disorganization later after this all boils over.

His suggestion? We should write the RNC and DNC around February 2017.

Sounds like a worthy cooperative effort to me.

Meanwhile, let’s hope that we can work together as a society and government in the near future.

We’re going to need to do something.

The opinions expressed in Bassinger’s column do not necessarily reflect those of The Daily Barometer staff.

Christian Slater once wrote that “[g]ood judgement comes from experience” (brainyquote.com).

Given recent events, it is clear that the world could do with a bit more of this Christian thinking. I’m not writing to rehash the national debate over which restroom goes with male and which goes with female (Which? Whichever!) I’m writing instead to convey my strong opposition to the continued trend at OSU to convert push-paddle and lever-action paper towel dispensers to socalled “automatic towel dispensers” in restrooms of both sexes.

Since Junior Hawkins filed Patent #US4796825 A on September 25, 1987 (a day, it should be noted, dear to my heart for very different reasons), patrons of American restrooms have been unwitting participants in a grand experiment in social as well as towel engineering. Whereas conventional dispensers enable users to select a length of paper towel tailored precisely to their bibulous desires, these new instruments of “rotation control” (Google Patents) force the infinite possibilities of that human imagination into 1-3 preassigned configurations: a so-called “short” towel of approximately 8”, a more generous “medium” length of 12”, and a vulgarly named “long towel” of approximately 16”.

The creators of automatic towel dispenser insist that these three configurations “reduc[e] WASTE and lowe[r] operating costs” (Georgia-Pacific website), and the zealotry of ATD advocates might make some sense if they had any serious evidence that unary, binary or tertiary paper towel configurations actually reduce hand towel waste. But they seldom even discuss the issue in terms of empirical evidence. Indeed, we have all experienced a situation in which our halest hand washing calls out for a bolt of towel that falls between the preassigned allotments of the dispenser’s “patented microchip” (SCA Tork Intuition II Roll Dispenser Advertisement), leaving us to either wipe the posttowel excess water from our hands upon our pants like Californians or, like Washingtonians, signal the dispenser for a second helping of towel. Surely we can therefore agree that, to paraphrase the great bard, there are far more and more diverse drying needs on heaven and earth than are dreamt of the Tork Intuition II’s imagination.

I therefore ask this great university to take a stand again the ATD’s scourge of digital dehydration.

Please join me.

the week before on the road against USC helped their cause, but a similar effort would be required the next week against UCLA. “We were in a do-or-die situation,” said Hamilton. “If we got two (wins) we thought we would get in, three wins would be a better situation.”

The Beavers left no doubt. Not only did OSU sweep the Bruins at Goss Stadium, but for the first time in program history the Beavers held an opponent scoreless for three consecutive games. Senior Travis Eckert, junior Max Engelbrecht, Fehmel and sophomore Luke Heimlich combined for 27 innings of shutout ball.
