When Annie Wells, a junior in accounting, and Stacey Wai, a senior in merchandising management took on the job of planning and organizing the 2015 Dads Weekend at Oregon State University in late May, they knew they were in for a challenge. “We’ve been working on this for months, but it is exciting to finally see everything coming together,” Wells said with a laugh. The 2015 Dads and Family Weekend will look much like past Dads weekends have, yet this year new ideas and activities will be introduced in addition to the those traditional ones. This year’s theme is “New Horizons.” “We’re focusing more on the future of OSU. In the past few years OSU has gone through a lot of changes, new logo, new building, new coaches, so we thought it would be cool to focus on the future and where OSU is heading,” Wai explained. This year’s Dads Weekend will feature events and activities from Friday, Nov. 6 to Sunday, Nov. 8. Starting with a welcome table in the MU Lounge from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Friday is capped off with two Comedy Shows, starting at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. in the LaSells Stewart Center. Saturday will start early and will continue up until the OSU football game. There are multiple events happening throughout the day, including
the Dads and Family Weekend Challenge Course Day starting at 9 a.m. and a wide variety of activities and presentations from OSU clubs and organizations in the SEC Plaza from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Dads and Family Weekend Car Show will be held in the MU Quad starting at 10 a.m. and will run until 2 p.m. along with Kettle Corn in the Quad. For those that aren’t attending the game, the MU Commons will be selling Root Beer Floats. “Explore the university, explore the area. Walk to the college open houses. Being on campus and the feel of it is part of our day to day lives as students, and is something our parents don’t get to see,” Wells said. With performances from the Divine and Outspoken, acappella student groups in the MU Rotunda starting at noon on Saturday in addition to all the other events, Wells and Wai hope that there is an activity that every student and family can enjoy. Kelsey McCall, a junior in business operations management, and Curtis Orona, a junior in bioengineering, are responsible for putting on the annual Dad’s Weekend Comedy Show. The show this year, featuring co-headliners Myq Kaplan and Dan Cummins, has traditionally been a hit among students and their families. “The Show is a good place

SSI holds open forums on campus Gold-level bike Sustainability meetings friendly campus engage students, encourage change By Chloe Stewart News Contributor
The Student Sustainability Initiative will be hosting a series of monthly open forums called “FYI SSI” as part of their efforts to reach out to more of the OSU community. The “FYI SSI” program was started thanks in large part to senior sustainability and marketing major Aaron Bredl. Bredl has been interested in
getting involved with the student sustainability since his sophomore year, but has previously been frustrated by the lack of outreach. This year, he decided to make a visit to the SSI and suggested that informational sessions like this one could help interested students get involved. “I just wanted to have a positive impact whether it be on a local or on a larger scale,” Bredl said. This series of forums is one of the new ways that the SSI is trying to expand their connections, scope and impact on campus this year. The SSI hopes to engage with more students and get more people enthu-
siastic about and involved in the vision of a more sustainable future. Kendall Dunlop, SSI outreach coordinator, is one of the key players in these efforts. “Environmentalism has been a very exclusive movement in the past, and the SSI really works towards not being that way and making accommodations for everybody and making sustainability an accessible goal for all people,” Dunlop said. In addition to hosting monthly open forums, the SSI will be utilizing social media, holding other events, like their

OSU receives top honor in bike safety By Sean Bassinger Senior Beat Reporter
In terms of being a bicyclefriendly university, Oregon State University has gone for the gold. The League of American Bicyclists recently awarded OSU with the Gold-level award for most bicyclefriendly university, the organization’s top honors award. University officials announced word of the honor in a press release Thursday. Established in 1880, the league currently offers a variety of tools and resources available to organizations and communities interested in enhancing their own bike use environments. Efforts to improve and enhance education on the subject include movements to “create safer roads” and help distribute “information, advocacy and promotion,” according to the organization’s website. “We applaud this round of (bike friendly universities) for raising the standard of
what a bicycle-friendly campus looks like,” said Ameila Neptune, program manager of the league’s Bicycle Friendly University program, in a press release from OSU. Though OSU received silver-level recognition back in 2012, this is the first time the university has reached the gold list, according to Meredith Williams, associate director of transportation services. “We’re only one of 12 universities in the country that has the gold medal,” Williams said. Williams said she’s thrilled about the recognition,which she confirmed will allow for greater expansion and education of continuing bicyclist needs and programs at OSU. “It’s a great recognition of the fact that there are so many employees and students who do ride their bikes,” Williams said. Additional information on bike safety and resources available on campus can be found at transportation. oregonstate.edu. news@dailybarometer.com

Get to know your student leaders: Student Sustainability Initiative Director Jesse Pettibone
Heather March | THE DAILY BAROMETER
Sustainability Director Jesse Pettibone is working to improve sustainability on campus and has political aspirations for the future.
Pettibone leads SSI, aims to inspire student activists on campus By: Chloe Stewart News Contributor
This year, Student Sustainability Initiative Director Jesse Pettibone will be fearlessly leading the charge for positive change within the OSU community. Back when Pettibone started his first year on campus, he got involved with DivestOSU, a student activist group that is part of a national movement to combat investment in unjust social and political systems. His involvement with the SSI began early in his academic career at OSU. After being denied a position in the student staff, he was invited to serve on the fee board, which is responsible for helping develop and approve the SSI budget. He later applied for the position of director and was selected to take over. At the core of Pettibone’s work is a
near lifelong desire to make a positive impact on the world. Much of his studies and efforts are focused on environmentalism, social justice, and empowering students. Within the OSU community, he is particularly adamant about encouraging young people to get involved with the causes that they feel passionate about. “At the SSI, my goal is I really want to find a way to create a space for students to be active, to be activists and organizers,” Pettibone said. When those spaces and networks are available, Pettibone believes that young people can both find a sense of community and enact positive change. After changing his major four times and constructing an impressive resume, Pettibone will be graduating in the class of 2016 with a degree in environmental sociology. Hailing from the small town of Myrtle Creek, his commitment to activism has helped him find a sense of community and work about which he is passionate at OSU.
Although he will be graduating this year, Pettibone’s activist visions are far from over. Many of his goals, both short and long term, are focused on creating a better future. After college, he hopes to continue working with activist groups to build connections with people across Oregon. He even has political aspirations. “I want to be governor of Oregon,” Pettibone said. “I want to tour Oregon and like engage people and get to know people and build relationships with different communities.”
At the SSI, my goal is I really want to find a way to create a space for students to be active, to be activists and organizers. Jesse Pettibone Student Sustainability Initiative Director
For those who still have a few years of their college experience ahead of them, Pettibone recommends making the most out of time spent at OSU. “There are amazing opportunities here, so take advantage of them,” Pettibone said. “Try as many things as you think you might be interested in and don’t be afraid to quit them all.” news@dailybarometer.com

Injuries have depleted the UCLA defense, this should help the Oregon State offense that is starting to play better. Before the season started I chose this game as Oregon State’s upset victory, I’m sticking with it. Beavers win 28-20.
OSU will win another game this season, but it won’t come this week. Beating a ranked opponent is a tall order for a team with five straight losses, though the Beavers should keep this one close. Bruins take a 27-21 win.
This has all of the signs of a trap game for UCLA. They are coming off a closer than expected win against Colorado and their defense is badly injured. Look for OSU to pound the rock and win a tight game. OSU 21-17.

Beavers face Ducks in final game of the season Three seniors play their final game for the Beavers as they look for the win against rival Oregon Friday By Garrett Martin Sports Contributor
The Oregon State women’s soccer team concludes their season this Friday at Lorenz Field as they face off against the Oregon Ducks in this year’s Civil War matchup. The Beavers (6-9-3, 2- 8 Pac-12) are coming off a pair of home losses last weekend and are looking to snap a four game skid. Despite the recent struggles, head coach Linus Rhode knows how important it is to end the season on a high note. “It’s the Civil War,” Rhode said. “There’s a lot of in-state pride (and) we want to go out with a bang” While Friday’s match is a big rivalry, it also serves as “Senior Day” as Oregon State says goodbye to three of their seniors. Midfielder Gwen Bieck, defender Amanda Tewes and goalkeeper Melanie Trumbull will all play their final game in a Beaver uniform. “Our Seniors have been, in their own way, great for the team,” Rhode said. “They’ve been great teammates and have contributed a ton to get the team going in the right direction.” The Ducks (5-13-0, 2-8 Pac-12) have lost seven of their last eight games but are coming off of a big victory against Washington on Sunday. They are looking to use that momentum to bring them their first win in Corvallis since 2003. Oregon sophomore goalkeeper Halla Hinriksdottir will play a big part in the outcome of Friday’s match. She has 37 saves on the year and is allowing 1.14 goals per game. The Beavers have a slight advantage in several categories in what otherwise looks to be a very even matchup. OSU goalkeeper

Sophomore midfielder Kayla Latham (No. 4) runs through the line of teammates prior to the team’s game against Washington on Oct. 30. The Beavers will play their final game against Oregon in the Civil War. Bella Geist has 85 saves on the year and is allowing 1.10 goals per game. She has 211 career saves and is climbing the ladder in the Oregon State record books. Geist is 41 saves away from 3rd place for saves in a career. Oregon State dropped last year’s match in Eugene by an 84th minute goal, but they are 11-8-4 all time against the Ducks. The Beavers will also look forward to playing in front of their home
crowd one more time. “It’s always nice to play at home,” Rhode said. “It’s a great way to end the season.” With a win on Friday, the Beavers would finish with seven wins on the season, which is an improvement from last year’s winless campaign. On Twitter @garrettmartin40
Volleyball hopes to improve at home
Beavers get revenge against Western
Beavers hope to end six game losing streak against Stanford, Cal
Oregon State wins exhibition game at Gill
By Michael Kiever Sports Contributor
After another week away from Corvallis, the Oregon State women’s volleyball team will return this week to play California on Friday and No. 11 Stanford on Sunday at home. The Beavers will look to build on this past weekend, where they extended their losing streak to six games against Colorado and Utah. The Beavers (4-18, 2-10 Pac-12) won their last game on Oct. 11, winning 3-0 against Cal (9-14, 3-9) in Berkeley. The Golden Bears have seen improvement since then, and have currently won three out of their last five conference games. “Cal has had a resurgence,” said head coach Terry Liskevych. “They started slow in the Pac-12, but they’ve won a couple of matches.” During practices this week OSU has been working on serving, which was an important aspect when they previously beat Cal. “What worked for us last time we played Cal was strong serving, so we’ve made sure to key in on that again,” said senior defensive specialist/ libero Darby Reeder, who recently hit her 1,000th career dig. “Blocking is also a big deal, as well as keeping our defense in and lengthening rallies in order to give our hitters a good chance to put the ball down.” A pair of senior middle blockers in Lillian Schonewise and Lara Vukasovic lead the Golden Bears, containing them is a top priority for the Beavers. “Cal has two players that we need to make sure we stop, Schonewise and Vukasovic,” said
The BEST
Liskevych. “Both are seniors, and both are their leaders.” OSU will then host a talented Stanford (155, 9-3) team at Gill Coliseum. OSU played the Cardinal earlier this year on Oct. 9, when they lost 3-0. Stanford has played well this year despite losing senior middle blocker and reigning Volleyball Magazine Player of the Year Inky Ajanaku. “Stanford’s a very talented team, they have five or six All-Americans on their roster,” Liskevych said. “They have the best freshman, Haley Hodson, maybe in the last five years of college.” Hodson, an outside hitter, has started all 20 matches for Stanford and has been named Pac12 Freshman of the Week four times this season. Stanford also features redshirt sophomore Merete Lutz at middle blocker, who towers over the net at six foot eight inches. “Stanford has big hitters they like to go to,” Reeder said. “Serving tough is key to get their team out of system early, so our blockers can stay a step ahead of their offense.” As a team, OSU has a few goals they would like to accomplish against both teams this weekend. “Our team goal is to keep (Cal and Stanford’s) hitting percentage down, lower than what we had them before,” said junior defensive specialist/libero Rachel Buehner. “Just playing together as one unit.” While OSU has not had the most favorable results through the season so far, the important part is that they have kept playing hard. “I think we’ve played hard every match, and for that I’m proud of this team,” Liskevych said. “They compete. Now, we just have to be better in skill.”

A year after losing a home exhibition game to Western Oregon, the Oregon State men’s basketball team pulled away late in Thursday’s game in Gill Coliseum, taking a 76-57 win. Freshman forward Drew Eubanks recorded a doubledouble with 10 rebounds and a team-leading 16 points on 5-for-9 shooting. He also had five blocks and one assist, helping OSU take a 50-12 advantage in points in the paint. “Those highlight dunks pumped us up and gave us momentum,” said freshman forward Tres Tinkle. The Wolves took a 30-29 lead with 3:19 left in the first half, but ceded the advantage 19 seconds later on Tinkle’s layup. OSU used the freshman forward’s bucket to open a 8-0 run to close the half. The Beavers also scored 17 of the

joined in the lineup by Payton II, junior guard Malcolm Duvivier, senior guard Langston Morris-Walker and senior forward Olaf Schaftenaar. Eubanks scored the first points of the game on a fast break layup and the first four substitutes were all freshmen: Gligorije Rakocevic, Tres Tinkle, Stephen Thompson, Jr. and Derrick Bruce. The only freshman who did not play was Kendal Manuel, who is out for the year with a broken leg. OSU freshman combined for 46 points, getting 14 from Tinkle, 12 from Thompson, Jr. and four from Bruce. OSU ended with 55 rebounds to WOU’s 34, and also won the fast break points battle, 27-3. The Wolves only had one second chance point. WOU redshirt sophomore guard Alex Roth, who spent two years at Oregon State before transferring, finished with 14 points. OSU will open the regular season Nov. 14 at 4:30 p.m. in Gill Coliseum against Northwest Christian. On Twitter @BrightTies

game’s final 21 points. Senior guard Gary Payton II grabbed 17 rebounds despite feeling “really ill,” according to head coach Wayne Tinkle. Payton II missed practice on Wednesday with flulike symptoms, but played 29 minutes Thursday and had seven points and seven assists. Tres Tinkle addedwith 12 points and six boards. Coach Tinkle said WOU head coach Jim Shaw jokingly requested before the game to not let the game turn “ugly” if the Beavers started to build a lead. “I told him, ‘Jim, we lost this game last year and we’re beat up, too,’” Tinkle said. Both teams went back and forth for most of the game before OSU’s late run, holding the Wolves to one field goal in the final 5:58. Western Oregon did not score in the first 4:53 of the game, missing six shots in the meantime with three turnovers. OSU scored the first 14 points of the contest. Eubanks was the only freshman to start the game,

Continued from page 2 annual Earth Week campaign and their weekly garden work parties, and seeking collaboration with other organizations on campus through their Going Beyond Green Campaign, which is still in development. This campaign will seek to provide other student organizations with information and resources about how to make their groups and events more sustainable. According to SSI Director Jesse Pettibone, another strategy that the SSI will be utilizing this year is an overall shift in focus from small, disjointed projects to a bigger picture, longer-term strategy. “We are shifting from focusing on these individual topic areas and doing small projects inside of those and looking bigger picture and realizing that we’re looking to create a culture of sustainability and create lasting change,” Pettibone said. There are three primary initiatives in this big picture vision: growing food security for all students, the construction and utilization of the living laboratory throughout the university community, and making the OSU campus climate neutral by the year 2025. These three initiatives seek to expand the SSI’s efforts from solely environmental sustainability to a more holistic view of sustainability, including social and economic sustainability. Another of the SSI’s functions is supporting sustainability projects and research around campus. Students can apply for grants to research or implement sustainable practices. They will also be posting information about a number of new internships on Nov. 16. To learn more, the SSI has a website and a weekly e-newsletter with information about volunteer opportunities and events. The next “FYI SSI” session will be Dec. 2. news@dailybarometer.com

The uncomfortable truth about free speech By Michael S. Roth The Hartford Courant
As we prepared to honor military veterans at Wesleyan University’s first home football game, I sought out one of our engaged and thoughtful student vets. Bryan Stascavage had published an opinion piece in the Argus, the school newspaper, raising critical questions about the Black Lives Matter movement. The reaction to his provocative piece was intense: some students were angry, some hurt and still others wondered what editors of the Argus were thinking when they published an essay that questioned a civil rights movement that has claimed the hearts and minds of so many of us on campus. I trust the editors thought that Bryan’s essay would spark real conversations – the kind that make newspapers a vital
part of so many communities’ cultural ecology. Sure, the editors got more than they bargained for. Some students argued that the essay was racist (I don’t think it was), or at least that it participated in systems of racist domination (what doesn’t?). They made the important point that opinion pieces like these facilitate the ongoing marginalization of a sector of our student population; and they angrily accused the Argus of contributing to that marginalization. I’m very glad these important issues were made public – sometimes quite forcefully. Those who think they favor free speech but call for civility in all discussions should remember that battles for freedom of expression are seldom conducted in a privileged atmosphere of upper-class decorum. Unfortunately, in addition to sparking conversation, the op-ed also generated
calls to punish the newspaper. Protests against newspapers, of course, are also part of free speech. But punishment, if successful, can have a chilling effect on future expression. Many students (I think the great majority) quickly realized this and, contrary to what has been reported in the press, the student newspaper has not been defunded. Students are trying to figure out how to bring more perspectives to the public with digital platforms, and I am confident they can do this without undermining the Argus. Commentators, perhaps weary of their impotence in the face of the perversion of free expression in politics by means of wealth, have weighed in on this so-called threat to free speech on college campuses. “What’s the matter with kids today,” these self-righteous critics ask, “don’t they

Letters to the Editor In response to Degeneffe’s Nov. 2 letter to the editor Mr. Degeneffe encourages us to maintain our skepticism. I agree. Skepticism is healthy, skepticism is good – it mandates that we look upon the world we live in with a keen eye, perpetually seeking to revise our understanding and verify the claims of others. Skepticism is a tool for breaking down bad ideas and working to build better ones from their pieces. Skepticism is not a tool for causing harm. It is not a license to take action at the expense of others, and in fact, that is the precise kind of behavior that we should be skeptical of. The simple legality of a choice does not make it a good choice. Skepticism encourages us to ask whether practices – say, cultural appropriation – are of any practical use. There does not seem to be anything useful about purposefully, or accidentally, insulting others, particularly when we should know better. But even then, the idea of “saving

Continued from page 7 realize that America depends on freedom of expression?” While economic freedom and political participation are evaporating into the new normal of radical inequality, while legislators call for arming college students to make them safer, puffed up pundits turn their negative attention to what they see as dangerous calls to make campuses safer places for students vulnerable to discrimination. But are these calls really where the biggest threat to free expression lies? I fear that those who seize upon this
Cultural sensitivity on campus: A Trojan horse for censorship, ideological hegemony
our energy for the real issues” is a false claim in and of itself. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in his widely cited dissent of Abrams v. US that, “the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.” Each of us has our own passions, takes up our own causes and fights for our own issues. It should not be shocking, given our endless backgrounds, that the market has found honoring and respecting them to be a powerful idea. What is more American than that? Mr. Degeneffe enjoys a “freedom to criticize.” I hope he doesn’t mind me outlining how very wrong he is.

so-called danger will succeed in diverting attention from far more dangerous threats. Students, faculty and administrators want our campuses to be free and safe, but we also acknowledge that the imperatives of freedom and safety are sometimes in conflict. A campus free from violence is an absolute necessity for a true education, but a campus free from challenge and confrontation would be anathema to it. We must not protect ourselves from disagreement; we must be open to being offended for the sake of learning, and we must be ready to give offense so as to create new opportunities for thinking. Education
This is a follow up to an earlier letter to the editor I wrote last week. Those curious may read the original letter on the Barometer website under the Forum tab. My aim here is to argue that certain campaigns for “cultural sensitivity” that have been appearing on campus, while they seem well meaning on the surface, may present a threat to free speech and academic integrity. An Oct. 22 article, “‘My Culture is Not a Costume’ workshop prepares students for Halloween using cultural sensitivity,” in the Daily Barometer assured us that residence halls’ Halloween workshops were about education, not censorship: “‘My Culture is Not a Costume’ is not meant to prevent people from wearing these kinds of costumes.” However, events at St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary
worthy of the name is risky – not safe. Education worthy of the name does not hide behind a veneer of civility or political correctness but instead calls into question our beliefs. We learn most when we are ready to recognize how many of our ideas are just conventional, no matter how “radical” we think those ideas may be. We learn most when we are ready to consider challenges to our values from outside our comfort zones of political affiliation and personal ties. Historically marginalized groups have the most to lose when freedom of expression is undermined by calls for safety. Just look at Prime Minister

School showed how easily that could change. The school censored a student from dressing up as a mariachi with his friends by arguing that “The fact of the matter is, a culture is not a costume.” The funny part is, he’s actually Hispanic and only wanted to celebrate his own culture. If you listen closely, you can almost hear the “cultural appropriation” narrative breaking down. Now that Halloween is over, some students at OSU want to take these bad ideas even further. The front page of the Nov. 3 school paper shows students holding signs demanding mandatory cultural competency training for all faculty. (Editor’s note: The article referenced is titled “Inspiring change with ‘WTFOSU’”. The article ran on Nov. 3 with photos of students holding a
David Cameron’s plans for silencing anything deemed “extremist” and in conflict with “British values,” or Donald Trump’s fascistic rhetoric about closing mosques as part of his effort to “make America great again.” My role as a university president includes giving students opportunities to make their views heard, and to learn from reactions that follow. As I wrote on my blog shortly after Bryan’s opinion piece was published, debates can raise intense emotions, but that doesn’t mean that we should demand ideological conformity because people are uncomfortable. As members of a university community, we always have the right to respond with our
whiteboard with their suggestion for improving OSU.) My concern is that this forced indoctrination will lead to a chilling effect whereby professors won’t want to teach sensitive topics or invite controversial speakers for fear of offending the PC thought police. For example, consider UCLA Professor Val Rust’s run in with the college’s ‘micro-aggression’ policy, or Christina Hoff Sommers’ encounter with the ‘trigger warning’ policy of Oberlin College. Racism is a serious problem, but frivolous accusations such as these will only do our colleges harm in the long run. Bart Degeneffe, senior in biology.

opinions, but there is no right not to be offended. Censorship diminishes true diversity of thinking; vigorous debate enlivens and instructs. Our campus communities, like the rest of society, will be more inclusive and free when we can tolerate strong disagreements. Through our differences we learn from one another. Michael S.
