Containing game day trouble

Open container, MIP citations still possibilities on game day

By Riley Youngman News Contributor

Another brisk, fall Saturday afternoon in Corvallis and the streets are filled with orange and black. The smell of hamburgers being cooked on gas grills wafts through the parking lots surrounding Reser Stadium as the thud of bean bags on plywood corn hole games pierces the chatter of those gathered on campus. The Oregon State University campus is the final destination for thousands making the pilgrimage to watch their beloved Beavers take to the field.

Tailgating on campus before OSU

football games is a tradition, but the amount of alcohol present and consumed on campus may not be as legal as many may think.

Despite popular belief, there are no city ordinances that allow for an exception to open containers in public or on campus during OSU football game day.

However, certain rules are in place to allow for tailgating to happen as usual.

“This policy has been in place for a number of years and allows for specific rules on football games days allowing for alcoholic beverages to

be served and consumed in tailgating situations,” said Steve Clark, OSU vice president of university relations and marketing, citing Oregon State risk management policy.

An open container violation is a Class C Misdemeanor and can come with up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of $1,250.

“Tailgating is designated to certain areas that are designated by the athletic department,” said Patti Choate, an insurance representative for OSU Risk Management. “These people pay fees, to use certain areas, and cannot leave that area with alcohol.”

Because OSU contracts law enforcement to the Oregon State Police, open containers laws, which exist only as city code, are not enforced by city police.

According to the City of Corvallis ordinance code 5.93.040.010.06, consumption of alcohol, possession of an open container public places, including any street, alley, public grounds, building, or place open and available to the general public, or while in a motor vehicle on premises open to the public, is prohibited.

Craft Center to raise money by selling artwork Adopt a Pot: lonesome pottery sale gives new hope to abandoned crockery

By Jessie Shirley News Contributor

Heather March | THE DAILY BAROMETER

Completed pottery art pieces wait in the Craft Center to be picked up by their creators. Other pieces wait to be sold at the pottery sale on Friday.

IN THIS ISSUE >>>

The OSU Craft Center hosts the Lonesome Pottery sale today in the Memorial Union’s Trysting Tree Lounge from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Many of the available pieces have been abandoned or donated by members and instructors of the Craft Center.

The Craft Center is a non profit organization which according to Sage Zahorodni, senior agriculture and sustainability major and Craft Center employee, makes sales like this crucial to continuing operations.

“A lot of people think we are supported by funding from the school but we aren’t,” Zahorodni said. “We rely a lot on community support and member involvement.”

The center recently hosted another event dubbed the “Throw-a-Thon,” where members and staff were invited to throw and build ceramic

pieces specifically for the purpose of being donated to the sale.

“We provided the clay and they provided the talent,” said OSU alum and craft center employee Dennis Moss.

Moss added that the sale is a good way to gain community awareness for the center.

“The pieces are all handmade by our members and staff,” Moss said. “Customers see pieces they like and want to learn how they could make them themselves.”

The center offers classes in not just ceramics, but many other crafts as well. During these classes, if members are unsatisfied with their work or forget to pick them up after the class’s completion, the pieces are donated to the sale in an attempt to reduce waste and provide a cheaper alternative to buying full priced items.

“It’s a form of artistic recycling. We discount the pieces and they go to new homes,” Zahorodni added. “The sale is also right around the holidays so the pieces make nice but cheap gifts.”

Priced anywhere from twenty-five cents to

Students find power in campus protests

By Thomas Curwen, Jason Song and Larry Gordon Los Angeles Times

If the University of Missouri was the spark, then the fire didn’t take long to spread.

Since the resignation of its president and chancellor Nov. 10, protesters have organized at more than 100 colleges and universities nationwide. Social media sites have lighted up with voices of dissent, and what began as a grievance has evolved into a movement.

Inspired by the marches in Ferguson, Mo., and Black Lives Matter, students are taking to social media to question the institutions they once approached for answers.

Calling for racial and social reforms on their campuses, they are borrowing tactics of the past — hunger strikes, sitins and lists of demands — and have found a collective voice to address their frustrations, hurt and rage.

Their actions seem to have hit the mark.

Last week, the dean of students at Claremont McKenna College left the university after students protested her comments to a Latina student with the offer to work for those who

“don’t fit our CMC mold.”

Tuesday night, Jonathan Veitch, the president of Occidental College, said he and other administrators were open to considering a list of 14 reforms, including the creation of a black studies major and more diversity training, that student protesters had drawn up.

Students at the University of Southern California have similarly proposed a campuswide action plan, which includes the appointment of a top administrator to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

Nationwide, complaints of racism and microaggression are feeding Facebook pages and websites at Harvard, Brown, Columbia and Willamette universities, as well as at Oberlin, Dartmouth and Swarthmore colleges.

Protesters at Ithaca College staged a walkout to demand the president’s resignation, and Peter Salovey, president of Yale University, announced a number of steps, including the appointment of a deputy dean of diversity, to work toward “a better, more diverse, and more inclusive Yale.”

For decades, students have

a maximum of fifteen dollars, the pieces are made extremely affordable compared to other artisan crafted works.

The sale offers more than just ceramic items; Other such objects have also been donated to the sale.

“There will be photographs, torch work and glass works also donated to the sale,” Moss said.

With the variety transcending more than one craft, the whole center is brought together as a single

unit.

“The sale helps everybody.” said Ron Wetz, a Craft Center member for nearly three years. “We all want to be able to keep making things and it’s good to see other people appreciate things we (the artists) might not really like.”

Everything from mugs, to plates and platters will be up for sale. Both Moss and Zahorodni stressed that the best deals are always the first to go, so arriving early will be important for a better chance at getting something of higher quality and functionality. baro.news@oregonstate.edu

Scientists to feds: Great Lakes wolves not endangered

By Keith Matheny Detroit Free Press

DETROIT — Gray wolf populations in Michigan and other Great Lakes states have recovered to the point they no longer should be considered an endangered species. That message came Wednesday not from hunting groups but from 26 scientists — many having advocated for the wolves’ protection in years past.

The wolf population in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin stands at more than 3,700 wolves, the scientists noted. The most recent winter wolf survey by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in 2014 showed 636 wolves in the Upper Peninsula.

Michigan held its controversial first, firearmonly wolf hunt in November and December 2013, with hunters killing 23 wolves in designated areas of the Upper Peninsula. Future hunts were stalled when a federal judge in December 2014 restored the wolf’s status as endangered in Midwestern states, including Michigan. It was the third time wolves had been removed from the endangered species list and put back on, said David Mech, an adjunct professor in the University of Minnesota’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology.

“The integrity and effectiveness of the ESA (Endangered Species Act) is undercut if delisting does not happen once science-based recov-

ery has been achieved,” the scientists wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe. The U.S. and Canadian wolf scientists signing the letter included Michigan State University associate professor Gary Roloff and Northern Michigan University professors John Bruggink and Pat Brown.

“The signatories are all scientists,” Mech said. “When the wolf population was low and needed protection, they were pushing for that.

But the population has reached its recovery level — actually, many years ago.”

The designation matters, Mech said, because it directs resources and attention of wildlife management agencies.

“Obviously, there’s only so much funding and effort that can go around,” he said. “The more that’s put into wolves, now that they have recovered, that’s less that can be spent on species that are truly endangered.”

The nonprofit National Wildlife Federation supports the scientists’ position.

“Professional state wildlife managers have been instrumental in helping the wolf recover in the upper Great Lakes states and need to be given authority to make the most effective management decisions,” said Jason Dinsmore,

Similar to suggestions made by scientists in Oregon earlier this week, Michigan scientists recoomend the gray wolf be removed from the endangered species list.

U.S. proposes 17-year delay in start of Hanford nuclear cleanup

By Ralph Vartabedian Los Angeles Times

The Energy Department has proposed a 17-year delay in building a complex waste treatment plant at its radioactively contaminated Hanford site in Washington state, pushing back the full start-up for processing nuclear bomb waste to 2039.

The department submitted the 29-page plan in federal court as part of a suit to amend an agreement with the state that requires the plant to start operating in 2022.

A series of serious technical questions about the plant’s design have caused one delay after another. Two of the major facilities at the cleanup site, which resembles a small industrial city, are under a construction halt ordered in 2013 by then-Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The plant, located on a desert plateau above the Columbia River, is designed to transform 56 million gallons of radioactive sludge, currently stored in underground tanks, into solid glass that could theoretically be stored for thousands of years.

The waste was a byproduct of plutonium production, which started with the Manhattan Project during World War II. The 586-square-mile Hanford site is widely considered the most contaminated place in the country, requiring 8,000 workers to remediate half a century of careless industrial practices that were done under strict federal secrecy.

The Energy Department filing shows the extent of the problems.

A 2014 review, conducted by a panel of the nation’s leading nuclear and chemical engineers, found that the partially built plant had 362 “significant design vulnerabilities,” including seals that could melt and ventilation systems that might not be able to contain radioactive gases.

Construction was stopped before that review when doubts surfaced that the complex technology for mixing of heavy sludge in large tanks would not be vigorous enough to prevent explosive hydrogen gas from forming or clumps of plutonium from starting spontaneous nuclear reactions.

The Energy Department’s legal filing cites those two issues as ongoing concerns.

The latest delay was disclosed Friday, when the Energy Department and Washington state submitted proposals to modify the 2010 agreement for cleaning up the tank waste.

Under the Energy Department’s plan, all of the operations at Hanford’s waste treatment plant would be operational by 2039, though parts could start sooner.

Washington regulators have been pushing the Energy Department to comply with the agreement but have acknowledged that a delay is inevitable. The state has proposed a start-up for full operations by 2034, a 12-year delay.

The Hanford plant consists of three main facilities: a high-

level melter that would convert the most radioactive waste into glass, a low-level melter that would vitrify less deadly material, and a pretreatment plant that would separate waste for the melters.

The low-level melter is the only plant that is still being built. Under a revised plan, the Energy Department hopes to use that part of the operation early, sending untreated waste into it for vitrification.

In a statement Wednesday, the Energy Department said it “remains committed” to completing the project.

The statement raises the possibility that if the low-level melter can be completed on its current schedule, some wastes could start being vitrified as early as 2022.

The new schedule is certain to affect the cost of the plant, which has been set for years at $11.6 billion. But final cost will be impossible to determine until the technical issues are resolved and a new construction schedule set.

Tom Carpenter, executive director of the watchdog group Hanford Challenge, said the latest delay raises serious cost issues. Carpenter noted that the federal government has been spending $690 million annually on the waste treatment plant for more than a decade. “Will Congress go along with

Another unknown is how the delay will affect plans to complete the Hanford tank cleanup. Under the original design, the plant was designed to turn out each day 6 metric tons of vitrified high-level waste and 30 tons of vitrified low-level waste. If the plant had started in 2022 and met those production goals, it could have completed the job in about 40 years, or by 2059.

But now, that completion date could be pushed out to late in this century. The waste is being stored largely in singleshell steel tanks, some of which have leaked. The potential for additional leaks grows with time.

The Energy Department filing proposed a plan for removing the waste from some of the single-shell tanks through 2024. The department has built some new double-wall tanks that are considered safer. Under the new plan more would be required.

Dr. Tech

he good news is that violent crime in the United States has declined steadily since the 1990s.

The bad news is that violent crime still harms millions of people every year and the college campus is no exception to that reality.

The good news is that Corvallis is consistently rated as the safest small city.

The bad news is that in 2012-13, 48 OSU students reported violent crimes committed against them and others have been reported this fall term.

I count violent crime to include aggravated assault, sexual assault, domestic violence and dating violence.

To grasp the meaning of these statistics recognize that every violent act harms an individual human being.

Statistics tell important stories but individuals suffer pain and harm, and the cost of violence is personal.

Think of a class that you have been in with 48 other learners – then imagine that every one of those people suffered violent assault in the last two years.

If you have not been subject to violent crime, it is important to know how you may protect yourself and those around you.

If you are among the people who have been assaulted, it is important that you know what resources are available for you because there are good people here who will help.

Links to the resources noted in this column among others are available on my blog: jondorbolo.com.

I met with Judy Neighbours to learn about a new resource for OSU members - Sexual Assault Response and Prevention Alliance.

Neighbours is the Coordinator of SARPA, which was created this year and is available to counsel on a range of issues related to assault, violence, harassment, stalking and bullying.

Neighbours observed that in some parts of OSU culture sexual force is not discouraged, but talking about it is; she intends to change that and we should all help to achieve that aim.

SARPA was created partly in response to revelations this year about past sexual assault issue at OSU. OSU President Ed Ray and Provost Sabah Randhawa spoke to the press and community about making change for the better.

That they put actions to their words and invested resources to support those who suffer sexual assault and any form of violence is an impressive act of resolve by our university leadership.

The problems of violence and sexual assault are complex and require an intelligence grounded in reality to increase your own safety.

Nationwide, 82 percent of sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone known to the victim. About 50 percent of

sexual assaults involve alcohol.

Being drunk or high makes you vulnerable.

This is not to claim that alcohol causes sexual violence, but intoxication is clearly a contributing factor in both perpetrator and victim accounts.

To gain a professional perspective on the role of alcohol in assault I spoke with Sarah Cubba who tends bar at American Dream.

Cubba had a lot of important thoughts, bartenders are good at that, but the standout message she had was that awareness and moderation are crucial to staying safe.

Cubba advises setting limits when drinking, such as the amount to spend or number of drinks, and to talk to your server about those limits because their job is to help you enjoy yourself and part of having a good time is staying in control and safe.

Technology can be a friend to you when out on the town through mobile apps that help you set limits, enter your weight, count drinks, tally costs, estimate blood alcohol content and notify you when you exceed a limit.

Apps for phone and tablet include IntelliDrink (iOS $0.99), BAC Alcohol Calculator (iOS $0.99), R-U-Buzzed (iOS free), ALCulator (Android free), AlcoDroid Alcohol Tracker (Android $2.99), Alcohol Calculator (Android free), BAC Calculator (WIN free), Alc Calc pro (WIN $0.99) and Drinking Buddy (WIN $0.99).

When you are out and about, staying in contact with your social support system may help you stay safe and several apps can help.

Circle of Six (iOS, Android free) lets you set up a contact group and easily update them with a few taps.

Kitestring (web and SMS based free) lets you set up outings and alerts friends if you do not respond at a set time.

My personal favorite security communication device is the 5Star from GreatCall ($50 plus $15/month).

I prefer this small device because it is dedicated to a single purpose; press the one button and you are immediately connected to a trained operator that will help with many issues, even just someone to talk to while walking home.

Dr. Tech’s blog: JonDorbolo.com ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: SARPA: 541-737-7604 oregonstate.edu/sexualassault SafeRide: 541-737-5000 Hours: 6 p.m. – 2:30 a.m.

The 5Star operator can locate your device by GPS and will call emergency responders if you cease responding.

I believe that using a phone in a personal emergency is complex and unreliable, while a dedicated device supports direct and immediate action.

I have a 5Star in my pocket right now and bought one for my daughter.

Immediate relevant communication will be normal in our future and devices such as 5Star foreshadow these emerging technologies.

5Star is not cheap, but perhaps someone who cares will help with the cost - send this article to them and highlight the following sentence: “Hi. I am Dr. Tech and I encourage you to invest in your loved one’s safety.”

There are similar products and I am promoting the functionality that they provide, not a particular product.

Some people rely on self-defense products such as pepper spray, stun guns and key chain gadgets.

Honestly, thinking that an untrained person can effectively fight off an aggravated attacker with any weapon is fantasy.

My view is that you feel a need for self-defense tools, you should review your activities to avoid trouble rather than fight it.

Possibly the most important technology advice for some people is to unplug so that you can give full attention to your environment.

The most important point that I can make about violence and assault is to appeal to men to take responsibility for the problem. Most men never perpetrate assault, but men commit the vast majority of violence.

Brothers, let’s step up to the issues of violence and sexual assault together to bring the truth to light and work together to solve it.

Everyone should all take informed action to avoid assault, but we should not avoid addressing the topic.

Practicing respect for others opens new values to subjective experience.

I invite all of your responses on these issue and will post relevant technologies that you inform me of on my blog. baro.forum@oregonstate.edu

Voting important for millenials

By Sean Bassinger Forum Editor

V

oting is much more important than you may think.

I know, I know – maybe you’re not a fan of reading political stuff. Maybe you have better things to do with your time (see: “Fallout 4”) or perhaps you’re tired of the system and how screwy everything became after the Bush administration.

I can’t really blame you for thinking this way, but I can tell you

that participating in government affairs still can (and does) make a difference.

Enter the current mass media scene, where everyone speaking onair apparently knows who they want to vote for and the general election is already going to a certain candidate. Tune into any major 24/7 news network and you’ll see a colorful cast of political characters giving reasons as to why you should vote for said candidate without providing much more background.

No real history, no extensive background – this is the name you want to see when you fill in the circle come May and November.

Heaven forbid they only have your attention because of how unbalanced they appear to be.

Are the people you believe you may vote for really the best pick for you? Do you believe you’ll choose someone who is? If so, do you know

their track record in terms of inoffice (or in-life) accomplishments?

Conservatives will vote based on a set of values and structures that served us well in the past, likely under the belief that these old patters will continue to be best. Institutionally, they want to “conserve” governmental methods we’ve seen before. Liberals, on the other hand, believe in a series of changes over time, and will most often vote and deliberate based on this notion.

The latter appears to make sense in this day and age, where our everyday lives continue to change based on a variety of factors: technology, social institutions and so-on. Why vote for industrial-aged politics in the information era? These days we need to adjust for the unfortunate reality that our Facebook page template could change the next time we blink.

We’re generally OK with this. Why

haven’t our financial and political institutions taken a similar shift?

Simply put, younger generations don’t vote as much.

Voter turnouts have been lower since the 1960s, but the youngest voter brackets saw the sharpest declines, according to 2014 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Voters ages 45-65 participating in elections went from 75.9 percent to 69.7 percent by 2012 – a drop of 6.2 percent – while voters ages 18-24 went from 50.9 percent to 38 percent in the same time period.

No wonder we wound up with such a divided House of Representatives.

I know many of you out there have already learned the basics of a successful job interview. If you have trouble looking up debate topics and candidates, make a checklist. And don’t just look into what these people say during their on-air debates.

Do some digging and look into their

accomplishments.

Have they served with integrity inoffice and in the professional world?

Are there facts to go along with their arguments, or are they merely attempting to be the loudest person at the podium for no reason at all?

The primaries take place May 17, 2016. If you’re not registered to vote, the deadline is 21 days before any election day, according to the Oregon Secretary of State’s website.

There are plenty of resources on campus if you’re looking to learn more about your own political direction. Oregon State University College Democrats and College Republicans hold numerous events year-round in an effort to get more students involved with political causes.

You’re part of the decision that determines who we wind up putting in office. So get out there, look into the candidates and vote. baro.forum@oregonstate.edu

The opinions expressed in letters to the editor do not necessarily represent those of the Daily Barometer editorial staff.

Letters to the Editor

In regards to Kasamoto letter CAPS staff on “Speak Out” I am white and I support Monday’s ‘Speak Out’ On Nov. 18, the Barometer published a letter to the editor from political science student, Riker Kasamoto, where he made a sweeping assumption that the recent ‘Speak Out’ would not “likely get the support of the majority white community” at OSU. Before I comment any further on Kasamoto’s other remarks I wish to state that I am white, and I empathically support the decision to feature only the voices of students of color at the “Speak Out.” Kasamoto also claimed that white students had their First Amendment right infringed upon by being asked not to speak at the event. This is a strange claim from a student studying politi-

cal science. The First Amendment does not guarantee your right to speak, but what it does prevent is any legal sanction of your speech. Being asked not to comment does not suppress your right, being legally reprimanded for making a comment does.

Yet the most disappointing statement to read came when Kasamoto wrote that “Speak Out OSU should’ve represented students under the color of Orange and Black, not just on race.” Here Kasamoto relies on a familiar trope, which pleads for colorblindness instead of critical reflection. One might imagine they are enlightened for pretending race doesn’t matter, but it is not admirable to pine for abstract unity without acknowledging the

social differences that stratify society. In order to create an OSU that can properly be represented by its school colors (which not coincidentally have historical connections to white supremacist groups—look it up), we have a responsibility first to make substantive changes to the university’s institutional makeup so that students of color can actually feel welcomed and included. Sadly, none of Kasamoto’s comments make any real attempt at accomplishing this goal.

Alexander Riccio Masters of Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) Member of Allied Students for Another Politics (ASAP!)

Tuesday ‘Speak Out’ article I would just like to point out that I, as the only white student involved in organizing the Students of Color Speak Out, was quoted several times in the Barometer article covering the event. My co-organizers, both students of color, were not quoted. But white privilege isn’t real, it must just be that I have more to say about the experiences of students of color than students of color themselves (sarcasm).

In addition, my words were taken out of context and used to make it seem like I was commending white people for showing up and listening. Let me just be clear, students of color are the ones to be commended for having the courage to share their story in the face of pure ignorance (of which they are not

responsible for alleviating) and hate.

Lastly, in the words of George Takei, “Let me try to clear something up. ‘Freedom of speech’ does not mean you get to say whatever you want without consequences. It simply means the government can’t stop you from saying it. It also means OTHERS get to say what THEY think about your words.

So if someone makes an a** of himself, don’t cry ‘freedom of speech’ when others condemn him. It only highlights your general ignorance.”

Nov. 18 letters disappointing As a white student at OSU, I was disappointed by the student letters published in the Barometer yesterday. I do not believe those letters represent the views of most OSU students. They certainly do not represent mine.

I am not sure if the letter-writers were present at the same event that I was. They complained about not feeling welcomed in the Speak Out and claimed to be victims of some sort of reverse “racism.”

The Speak Out was a space for students of color to relate their experiences. White students were not welcomed to speak

in Monday’s ‘discussion’ because it was not intended to be a discussion. We were there to listen, learn, and acknowledge the urgency of addressing racial injustice in our university.

The letter-writers dismissed the experiences of students of color, using words such as “bigots”, “over-dramatic” and “whiny”. It is not for them to determine whether other people’s suffering is legitimate. Students of color do not need “white validation.” They need collective action to stop racial injustice on campus and beyond. It also became clear to me

that a few white students in this institution are oblivious to American history, the history of this state and recent events across the country.

Finally, it is absurd to evoke “first amendment rights” to justify speaking at a forum specifically organized for others. I was about eight years old when I learned that my freedom ends where others’ begin, and that I should listen when others have something to say.

To the OSU Community, We, the staff of Counseling and Psychological Services, stand in solidarity with the students of color who courageously voiced their experiences of racism, ranging from micro-aggressions to outright hostility, within our campus community. The students’ bravery, authenticity, and vulnerability have to be met with administrative commitment to healing and change. Support is needed but action is vital, and we want to mobilize the momentum on every level: advocacy, communication, education, and policy.

We at CAPS acknowledge we have a role and responsibility in working to end violence and oppression. We join our colleagues across campus in affirming students of color. We hear you. We support and join you in your activism. And we are committed to creating a campus community where ignorance is no longer an excuse. We aim to provide institutional advocacy through individual and group counseling and through education on multiple levels, including staff development training, student retreats, and community forums.

There is a fine line between hate speech and free speech.

Living, studying, and working at a Predominantly White Institution requires resilience for students of color. We acknowledge your pain and recognize your strength.

In community,

The staff of Counseling and Psychological Services

Mizzou chancellor to keep salary

By Jeremy Kohler St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Bowen Loftin, who was stripped of his title of University of Missouri-Columbia chancellor last week, will continue to be one of the university’s highest-paid employees in his new role.

Under the terms of his transition agreement, obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch through a Missouri Sunshine Law request, Loftin will earn a base salary of 75 percent of his annual salary as chancellor. His salary this year was $459,000, making his new salary $344,250.

The agreement was signed by Loftin and former UM System President Timothy M. Wolfe and approved by the Board of Curators on Nov. 9, the same day Wolfe announced his resignation amid campus unrest.

The agreement was supposed to keep Loftin as chancellor through the end of the year, but on Thursday, the Board of Curators “accelerated the transition of authority” by immediately installing Hank Foley as interim chancellor.

Loftin remains in roughly the top 50 highest paid of UM’s 27,000 employees. Other top earners include physicians, coaches, deans and administrators.

Loftin wrote in his transition agreement that he planned to work another five years, then to become eligible for emeritus status.

Under the agreement, Loftin will also get to keep $50,000 in deferred compensation that he was paid last year – and take home another $50,000 in January – payments he was supposed to forfeit if he left the chancellor position before January 2017.

Loftin will also be paid annual stipends of $10,000 to $35,000 from the university administrator to whom he will now report.

Loftin will get to keep the $135,000 hiring bonus paid to him two years ago when he was hired from his role as president of Texas A&M University.

He’ll also get to keep a car allowance through January 2017, a laptop and an iPad. He and his wife, Karin C. Loftin, will get to stay in the chancellor’s residence rent free until the end of March, and the university will pay their moving expenses.

He’ll also be indemnified from any lawsuits against him for actions taken in his role as chancellor.

Under the agreement, he will become a fulltime administrator with at least two roles. As

director for research facility development, he will lead the university’s efforts to build and renovate facilities to meet the needs for research.

And as director of university research, he will support work at the Tiger Institute for Health Innovation. He will also continue to hold the faculty rank of tenured physics professor, and he may develop a research program at Tiger Institute where he will supervise graduate students, postdoctoral students and undergrads, and have access to startup funds.

Loftin was removed as chancellor at a curators meeting on Nov. 9, which opened with Wolfe’s abrupt announcement of his resignation.

Wolfe, who made $477,544 as president, will not receive severance payments.

Protest

Continued from page 2 helped drive social change in America, if not the world. Campuses, said University of California President Janet Napolitano, have “historically been places where social issues in the United States are raised and where many voices are heard.”

Although some of the strategies may seem familiar, it is the speed and the urgency of today’s protests that are different.

“What is unique about these issues is how social media has changed the way protests take place on college campuses,” said Tyrone Howard, associate dean of equity, diversity and inclusion at the University of California, Los Angeles. “A protest goes viral in no time flat. With Instagram and Twitter, you’re in an immediate news cycle. This was not how it was 20 or 30 years ago.”

Howard also believes that the effec-

tiveness of the actions at the University of Missouri has encouraged students on other campuses to raise their voices.

“A president stepping down is a huge step,” he said. “Students elsewhere have to wonder, ‘Wow, if that can happen there, why can’t we bring out our issues to the forefront as well?’”

Shaun R. Harper, executive director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education, agrees. The resignation of two top Missouri administrators, Harper said, showed students and athletes around the country that they have power they may not have realized before.

The protests show “we’re all together and we have the power to make the change we deserve,” said Lindsay OpokuAcheampong, a senior studying biology at Occidental.

“It’s affirming,” said Dalin Celamy, also a senior at the college. “It lets us know we’re not crazy; it’s happening to people who are just like you all over the country.”

Wolf

Echoes of the 1960s in today’s actions are clear, said Robert Cohen, a history professor at New York University and author of “Freedom’s Orator,” a biography of Mario Savio, who led the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley in the 1960s.

“The tactical dynamism of these nonviolent protests and the public criticism of them are in important ways reminiscent of the 1960s,” Cohen said. “Today’s protests, like those in the ‘60s, are memorable because they have been effective in pushing for change and sparking dialogue as well as polarization.”

Although the targets of these protests are the blatant and subtle forms of racism and inequity that affect the students’ lives, the message of the protests resonates with the recent incidents of intolerance and racial inequity on the streets of America.

Tailgate

regional representative for the federation.

But Jill Fritz, Michigan director of the nonprofit Humane Society of the United States, opposes the delisting. The group organized two ballot referenda passed by Michigan voters to protect wolves and limit the ability to hunt them last November, but the measures were overturned by a state law passed by the Legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder last year.

Fritz noted that other biologists — and more of them — twice earlier this year appealed to Congress not to remove endangered species protections for gray wolves.

The Humane Society of the United States supports “down-listing” the Great Lakes gray wolves to a threatened species, which would allow farmers and wildlife managers to use lethal methods if necessary to deal with problem wolves.

“If they were removed from federal protection and once again placed under state management, what would stop the states from once again initiating hunting, trapping, snaring and hounding seasons on wolves in the Great Lakes?” Fritz asked. “They want their wolf hunt and clearly will go to any length to get it.”

While Corvallis City Police do not actively patrol and enforce city ordinances on campus during game days, or any other day of the year for that matter, they still have the authority to enforce existing laws.

“You can’t have an open container of alcohol in the City of Corvallis,” said Lieutenant Cord Wood of the Corvallis Police Department. “Most tailgating is done on campus where the law enforcement is contracted to the Oregon State Police. State Police do not enforce city code on campus,” he explained.

Although open container laws are a city ordinance, minor In possession (MIP) laws exist at both a state and city level.

Staff Picks Brian Rathbone Sports Editor

I still believe Oregon State is going to win another game this year. So it’s going to come against either Washington or Oregon. I’m going with the Beavers over the puppies 24-17.

Josh Worden

Brenden Slaughter

In 2011, OSU was 2-8 before facing UW, just like this year. A redshirt freshman quarterback started, just like this year. And just like in 2011, OSU will win Saturday. It won’t be by the same 38-31 score, though.

Beavers take a 17-13 win.

Washington needs this game to be bowl eligible, and they want this game more than the Beavers do right now. Washington has one of the Pac-12’s best defenses and it will be in full effect on Saturday.

UW wins 28-7.

Wrestling takes the mat at home Beavers face off with Big Ten, Big 12 conference foes at Gill this weekend

By Danny Rice Sports Contributor

Oregon State makes their regular season home debut Saturday against Rutgers at 11 a.m. and Utah Valley at 1 p.m.

The No. 17 Beavers (2-1) are enjoying a good start to their season as they won every weight class at the Mike Clock Open two weeks ago. They followed that up by going 2-1 in duals last weekend at the Northeast duals.

They started off the day losing to then No. 10 Nebraska by a score of 25-6 but then rattled off two straight wins over No. 25 Northern Iowa 23-12 and then No. 19 West Virginia by a score of 23-9.

Head Coach Jim Zalesky was proud of his team’s performance against their competition.

“We learned a lot of places where we need to get better, “ Zalesky said. “As the day wore on, we got better.”

On Saturday, the Beavers first face the No. 15 Rutgers Scarlet Knights (5-1), a team that was also at the Northeast duals last weekend.

The Scarlet Knights were defeated early on

by No. 22 Oklahoma 19-18 but then, like the Beavers, won their remaining two duals over Northern Iowa 28-10 and No. 13 North Carolina 19-13.

Although this will be the first meeting between the two schools in a dual format, Zalesky is familiar with the opposition.

“Their team is similar to ours, “ Zalesky

best guys. Anyone can be beat. All that matters is what you do on the mat.”

Redshirt sophomore heavyweight Amarveer Dhesi, who is ranked No. 5, is not stressing about facing a high ranked opponent.

“I’m not too focused on the other guy, “ Dhesi said. “I really don’t look at rankings—they are useless to me. I just worry about what I need to do. If I wrestle smart and hard, I’ll come out on top.”

Oregon State finishes their day off against the Utah Valley Wolverines (1-2). The Beavers defeated the Wolverines 36-6 last season, but there are many changes to both teams’ lineup from a year ago and Zalesky is expecting another good test from them.

“They got some good individuals,” Zalesky said. “They’re a team that is getting better every year and they’re a pretty good Division I team.”

Utah Valley has two ranked wrestlers with senior 125-pounder Chasen Tolbert (No. 12) Aaron Newton | THE DAILY BAROMETER and senior 133-pounder Jade Rauser (No.18).
