Excited.

Over whelmed.

Nervous. Uncertain of what’s in store for you.

I remember each of these emotions and thoughts pumping through my body the first time I stepped onto the Oregon State University campus as an official student. I had just left my home, flew 1200 miles to a city I’d been to once, not even knowing anyone who lived in the state of Oregon.

My first thought was, “Yay! Freedom!”

My second was, “Shoot, what now?”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Welcome back to school From the desk of OSU President Ed Ray

OMN ARCHIVES

Oregon State University President Ed Ray smiles in his office. Ray became the 19th president of OSU in 2003.

Welcome to the 2017–18 academic year.

We are proud to serve you—and Oregon, the nation and the world—with an unwavering commitment to inclusive academic excellence, cutting-edge research and outreach and engagement.

For us, excellence is not just an abstract concept. We understand that the more outstanding we are and the more exceptional our graduates prove to be, the more positive and powerful impact we can have on the lives of those we serve.

I am most proud of OSU’s greatest contribution to society: our graduates. And we only achieve this contribution through the dedication and efforts of world-class faculty and staff.

Oregon State University is an authentic community, where getting things done and serving others define us.

Throughout the coming year, Oregon State will celebrate its 150th anniversary as a land grant university and will provide a spotlight on what this university has accomplished—and what its students, faculty, staff and alumni will achieve going forward. Our students will be a major part of this OSU150 celebration.

This fall, Oregon State also will evaluate the names and namesakes of four buildings on the Corvallis campus. These buildings

are Avery Lodge, Arnold Dining Center, Benton Hall and Gill Coliseum. Concerns have been raised that the namesakes may have held or espoused views that were exclusionary or inconsistent with our university’s values. Participation by our students will be an important part of this process.

This year’s incoming class of approximately 8,800 new students represents diversity, excellence and the prospect for incredible success.

Here is an early scan of our new students, as of September 1: •Approximately 7,130 are undergraduates and 1,670 are graduate students.

•25% are students of color.

•Almost 1,600 are first generation students.

•Approximately 4,735 students are Oregonians from every county of this state.

•2,850 come from the remaining 49 states and military bases worldwide.

•253 incoming students are veterans.

•Nearly 1,220 are international students from 80 different countries.

•25 new students had per fect SAT math scores, and 10 had perfect SAT verbal scores.

The university’s future success will always be defined by its students.

Looking ahead, I recognize that we have much to do to achieve our aspirations. We will improve our retention and graduation rates without any achievement gaps for underrepresented, first-generation or Pell-eligible students. Every OSU student will have at least one experiential learning opportunity. These internships, undergraduate research appointments, study abroad programs, club and leadership activities will prepare every student for success in a global community and economy.

We will take additional steps to ensure that Oregon State is a community committed to inclusiveness and social justice, and a place that celebrates diversity.

We can achieve all of these things. And I am confident that, working together, the best is yet to come at Oregon State University.

Go Beavs!

Oregon State University’s Disability Access Services is a campus resource that provides various modes of access across campus for students with disabilities.

The DAS office is housed on the second floor of Kerr Administration building. According to the DAS webpage, DAS is present on all OSU campuses.

“About 12 percent of students on campus have a disability of some sort. About three to four percent of students disclose that to a disability services office,” Martha Smith, the director of DAS, said in an email. “That seems to be the same for OSU. We had 1006 students registered with DAS last year.”

Students can register with DAS either online or in person at any point in the term, according to the DAS webpage.

“The Disability Access Services programs are intended to give access to university activities for students,” Smith said.

DAS ensures that students with disabilities are able to access specific academic environments such as labs, field trips and classes, according to Smith. There are also ways for

students to request help with in-class note taking, extended test times and interpreters for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.

According to Smith, University Housing and Dining Services also works with DAS to create accessible housing on campus, incorporating wheelchair accessibility and mobility supports where appropriate.

Oregon State University approaches implementing disability access using a practice known as universal design, according to Smith.

Gabe Merrell, the director of access and affirmative action and deputy ADA coordinator for the EOA. universal design can be used beyond physical disabilities, it can be incorporated into almost any practice.

“It’s the design of the environments to be usable by the widest number of people without need for modification,” Merrell said.

According to Smith, evidence of campuswide accessibility in action can be seen in the Student Experience Center and the Learning Innovation Center.

See DAS, Page 7

“Every entrance is accessible, the classrooms are bright and easy to find and the text that is used for signs is easy to read,” Smith said.

“There are different seats of different sizes in the LINC building lecture halls, as well as wheelchair accessible desks.”

Oregon State University works in compliance with the American Disabilities Act to ensure an accessible environment, according to Smith.

“The law is a minimum, it’s a floor. And so I think the university recognizes, certainly we as an office, that the floor isn’t always where we want to be,” Merrell said. “So we want to do better than that where we can.”

According to Alex Axelsson, assistive technology manager at DAS, when approaching accessibility on campus, DAS works to recognize all barriers that students might face.

“We try to incorporate open-mindedness and accessibility in the environment,” Axelsson said.

In the last academic year, DAS created approximately 12,000 minutes of captioning for content, according to Axelsson.

“Captioning provides a great level of universal design due to the fact that it’s beneficial to everyone,” Axelsson said. “If you are studying in the library and you cannot have sound, captioning makes the content accessible to you. If you are watching a video in a loud environment where you cannot hear the content, captioning makes that accessible to you.”

According to Merrell, universal design effects not just individuals with disabilities, but everyone.

“Someone should be able to use as much of our space as possible,” Merrell said. “We shouldn’t limit them to certain spaces just because that’s what the law said we are allowed to do.”

2017 Preview

Oregon State Fall Athletics

By Riley Youngman, Sports Chief

Football

Three games into the 2017 season, the Oregon State University football team is at a breaking point. Blown out by Colorado State University in the season opener, the Beavers rebounded against Portland State with a 35-32 win. However, the season took a turn for the worse when the Minnesota Golden Gophers ran over the Beavers (literally, putting up 253 rushing yards on the OSU defense) to a 48-14 win at Reser Stadium. As the team heads to Pullman for a make-or-break game against Washington State University, team leaders including starting quarterback Jake Luton and receiver Jordan Villamin remain optimistic.

Freshman safety David Morris recorded 17 tackles in the game against Minnesota, the most notched by an OSU player since the 2010 season. According to the Athletics Department, only 10 players in school history have tallied more than Morris.

He leads the team with 25 tackles on the season entering the WSU game.

Defensively, OSU has allowed 138 points to be scored over three games so far, averaging 46 points against per game. OSU allowed 366 points to opponents over the entire 2016 season, averaging 30.5 points against per game overall.

Offensively, standout tailback Ryan Nall leads the team in rushing with 205 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Luton has started all three games and has recorded 674 yards passing with four touchdowns and four interceptions. Tight end Noah Togiai and Villamin lead the team in receiving with 180 and 132 yards respectively, as well as one touchdown each.

In the press conference following the Minnesota game, Luton put an emphasis on learning from the mistakes that have been made, and using them to grow as a team and individually. Villamin recognized that while the two losses this season have not been easy to handle, the fate of the season rests on upcoming conference play.

“If we can get on the road from here we’ll be fine, we just need to learn from these couple of losses and move on,” Villamin said in the press conference.

Opening Pac-12 play on Sept. 19, the OSU women’s volleyball team has started off the 2017 season by winning seven of their eight games. With only three games remaining before conference play begins against Oregon, the Beavers close out their non-conference games against number one ranked Minnesota, Idaho State and Boise State in the Boise State Classic this weekend. Currently, the Beavers rank tenth nationally in hitting percentage.

After being named to the Pac-12’s preseason first team for the second season in a row, senior outside hitter Mary-Kate Marshall continues to be one of the stars of the team. She is approaching the rank of third all-time in history for the number of kills, and currently sits at 1,531 in her career. In addition to her Pac-12 recognition, Marshall has also been awarded the MVP for the team’s first two tournaments this year, as well as being named to the all-tournament team for the games played in the North Texas Challenge tournament. Other players that have earned all-tournament honors at this point include freshman Kylee McLaughlin, redshirt freshman Haylie Bennett and freshman Maddie Goings.

Other notable storylines from the team include junior Kayla Ellis’ journey to 1,000 digs, a feat she is projected to accomplish this season.

With eight starters returning this season, the OSU men’s soccer team is hoping to improve upon their 7-8-3 overall record from 2016.

Currently at 2-4, the team has registered two 1-0 wins, with the most notable coming from an overtime win against UNLV on Aug. 28. Jones scored just 50 seconds into the overtime period to win the match on the golden goal rule.

Senior forward Timmy Mueller is entering the year as a threetime Pac-12 player, which includes being named to the Pac-12 preseason team this year. Mueller netted five goals last year, enough to finish only behind forward Jordan Jones who ended the season with six. Both Jones and Mueller both have a goal and an assist apiece this season.

In an interview for the “Return of the Beavs” article in the Aug. 28, 2017 issue of The Baro, Mueller noted that in his last season at OSU, he is determined to leave behind a legacy of hard-work, grit and tenacity.

“We are a team that will not stop; we will win every ball.

We are battlers—we will play the full 90 minutes and then some,” Mueller said in that interview. “That’s the kind of legacy and mentality that we as a whole group of seniors want to leave behind.”

Three of the Beavers’ next five games are at home. The team will open up Pac-12 play on the road at Washington Oct. 1, and will then take on UCLA at Paul Lorenz Field in Corvallis on Oct. 5.

Women’s Cross Country The OSU Women’s Cross Country team will open their season on Sept. 16 at the Sundodger Cross Country invitational in Seattle, Wash. After having their first race of the week cancelled last weekend, the team is looking to open the season on a positive note. First-year head coach Louie Quintana, who is joining the team after 16 years at Arizona State University, is looking to bring the cross country team into the national spotlight.

“There is great potential with this program and I’m excited to team back up with coach Dave Dumble (the current OSU assistant coach and a former ASU assistant) to move this program up the ranks in the Pac-12 Conference and NCAA,” Quintana said in a press release put out by the OSU athletics department. Quintana will also serve as the head track & field coach for OSU. Following the race in Seattle, the Beavers will head to Eugene for the Dellinger Invitational on Sept. 29. As of the latest ranking, the team was ranked twelfth in the West Region by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. In the same rankings, seven other Pac-12 teams placed ahead of OSU.

Senior goalkeeper Bella Geist punts the ball in a game vs. BYU on Sept. 11. Geist is closing in on the all-time school record for career saves at Oregon State.

Women’s Soccer

One of the biggest stories to come out of the OSU women’s soccer 2017 season so far is senior goalkeeper Bella Geist’s march towards the program’s all-time save record. Sitting at 326 saves through her career, and only seven games into the season, Geist is averaging just over four saves a game this year. At this pace, she will overtake Michelle Mitchell’s record of 341 saves in the next several weeks. Outside of OSU, Geist has been named the Pac12 goalkeeper of the week, is ranked ninth all-time in Pac-12 history for saves, has made an appearance with the U.S. Under-23 National Team and leads the NCAA in active career saves.

Through seven games, the team is 3-2-2, and will open Pac-12 play against Arizona State on Sept. 22. Eleven of the 19 total games the Beavers will play during the regular season will be played at home on Paul Lorenz Field in Corvallis. Linus Rhodes is entering his tenth season as the head coach of the team, but is entering his 18th season being on the coaching staff. This season Rhodes has brought on Vanessa Valentine to be the assistant coach, and has promoted Michelle Voiland from assistant coach to associate head coach. Rhodes became the OSU women’s soccer program’s winningest coach in history early this season with 83 total career wins as of Sept. 15, 2017. From OSU Athletics, Valentine has credited Rhodes with putting the program on a path toward success. “(Rhodes) has a vision for our program, and he sticks to that vision,” Valentine said in a release from OSU Athletics. “It’s all about making sure our players have a great experience and making sure the program is always moving forward.”

This year’s team is senior heavy, featuring seven players in their fourth year of the program. Through the first seven games of the season, all seven players have started each match. In addition to Geist, some of the standout players in the senior class include forwards Nikki Farris, Natalie Higgins and Emma Jones, as well as midfielder Kayla Latham. Farris led the team with assists last season as well as tying for goals scored with six.

Beyond these sports, there are more teams that will see action throughout the fall. Both men’s and women’s golf will play in a variety of invitationals, but will do so away from Corvallis. Men’s and women’s rowing will be in Corvallis on Nov. 18 for the Orange & Black Regatta. Women’s and men’s basketball will begin their preseason games in November, and are scheduled to play several of them at home in Gill Coliseum. Finally, the women’s swimming and diving team will also be active throughout the next three months.

APCC offers community engagement, learning opportunities

By Caleb Chandler, News Contributor In the heart of the Oregon State University campus, plants native to Asia surround one of the few buildings constructed from the ground up: the Asian Pacific Cultural Center.

Located on Jefferson Way, the APCC offers opportunities for members of the Asian and Pacific Islander community to engage in cultural experiences and is open to all members of Oregon State University to learn about diversity.

“We provide opportunities for learning around the intersectional experiences of Asians and Pacific Islanders,” said Reagan Le, assistant director with the APCC, via email. “We do this by providing transformative learning opportunities through student employment, civic engagement, professional development and program/events.”

Inside the building are an array of physical spaces for students to participate in activities such as social engagements during club events, academic tutoring, preparing meals in the community kitchen and studying.

According to Le, the APCC focuses on students of Asian and Pacific Islander descent, but it is a learning space for all to feel welcome and safe, regardless of race, gender, sex, ability and other social identities. Everyone is free to enjoy and take part of the events that take place year round put on by the center and

affiliated student organizations.

“It’s a strong statement from OSU that we’re financially invested in building a culturally relevant and inclusive space for students,” Le said via email.

Beyond the physical structure, the APCC has created a strong community of student clubs that have created a home away from what they know, according to Nat Chutipanyaporn, an OSU alumnus and former president of the Asian Pacific American Student Union club.

“Corvallis is a college town, so chances are that people are not from the town, so it is really nice that people come together and form that community,” Chutipanyaporn said.

Currently, 17 student-organized clubs make up the APCC community and are available to students.

“As for the educational part, being asian, you’re called asian, but there are sub cultures beyond that, which helps when people come from different backgrounds of the asian culture, and there are so many of them,” Chutipanyaporn said.

Within each club, members have an opportunity to join an officer team to gain leadership experience and create new friendships with other students. Chutipanyaporn said he gained knowledge from his position in leadership that has helped him beyond

Oregon State University.

“The leadership position has helped beyond OSU and it provides people skills. You can’t go to class and do homework and get those skills,” Chutipanyaporn said.

An opportunity for members of the clubs are the annual culture shows that showcase communities within the APCC. Food is often provided by the club that reflects the traditional taste of the culture represented.

Julie Nguyen, an OSU Vietnamese Student Association member, found her place within the Asian and Pacific Islander community after attending a culture show.

“I didn’t commit myself until the culture shows started. It made me really feel at home because everyone was working hard together to make the show,” Nguyen said. “It wasn’t one person who made it possible, it was everyone as a whole. That made me want to be more involved in the API community.”

According to Le, cultural resource centers are safe spaces to develop a feeling of community where students can get a sense of belonging. They engage in multiple opportunities that are designed for critical inquiry and learning.

“It’s a home away from home for some folks and also a space to further develop their understanding of their multiple identities,” Le

The annual Asian and Pacific Islander Welcome Event is on Sunday, Sept. 24 from 4-6 p.m. at the APCC. For further information, the APCC is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays.

“Make an effort to talk to people, because that’s when you really get the most out of it and make those connections,” Chutipanyaporn said. “Whatever it is, get involved with something.”

ECC fosters inclusion, welcomes all cultures

Women’s Center Women’s Center Welcome 12 • DAILYBAROMETER.COM • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2017

Oregon State University’s Ettihad Cultural Resource Center works to highlight the rich culture of southern, southwestern and central Asia, as well as northern Africa, by developing programs that increase the visibility of students with ancestors from this region, according to Dr. Amarah Khan. Khan serves as the faculty supervisor of the ECC and is also the Associate Director for Global Diversity Initiatives in OSU’s Department of Diversity and Cultural Engagement, which oversees all campus Cultural Resource Centers.

“I come from a long career in promoting diversity at the international level.

I worked with various international aid agencies to develop gender-based equity programs in rural communities,” Khan said in an email. “My own identity as an immigrant and an international student drew me into working for one of the key diversity and inclusion efforts on campus.”

This commitment to inclusion and diversity is reflected in the name of the

center itself, which means ‘unity’ and has roots in multiple languages from the region: Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Hebrew, according to Khan.

While some on campus think of the ECC as a Muslim-only center, Khan explained this is a misconception.

“While the geographic representation is central to our mission, we include and welcome all cultures and identities regardless of what faith an individual practices,” Khan said via email. “There are a lot of members of our community who are born in the U.S. but take pride in their heritage elsewhere too.”

One of these proud community members is Khawater Hussein—an Oregonborn Yemeni American, second year undergraduate student in pre-mechanical engineering and one of two Leadership Liaisons at the ECC this year. Hussein began her time at the center as a Volunteer Coordinator winter term last year, because she wanted to find a sense of community with others who shared

similar cultural norms.

“I have been able to find constructive and effective ways to bridge the divide between my cultures personally, and I would like to help my community members find a sense of belonging and find opportunities that are open to them to make their lives easier,” Hussein said in an email.

The ECC broadens their reach to the greater OSU community through a number of events held throughout the year. According to Erich Pitcher, the Associate Director for Research and Communication, one of the most well-known events is the spring Ettihad Cultural Festival.

“This is an event that shares cultural traditions and creates community amongst the nations and peoples represented throughout the Ettihad region,” Pitcher said. “Dance, music, food all bring people together.”

CCCC supports retention of culture, heritage

By The Baro Staff

Originally established in 1972 as the Chicano Cultural Center, the Centro Cultural César Chávez is one of the seven Cultural Resource Centers at Oregon State University. Located across from Reser Stadium, the cultural center fosters community, cultural education and academic success by hosting events and meetings and providing access to educational resources.

“The CCCC exists to support the different ethnic and cultural peoples’ pursuit of their educational goals and the retention of their culture,” according to the CCCC webpage.

“Further, it strives to inform both the respective cultural groups and the greater university communities about issues central to the Chicanx/Latinx/Mestizx culture and heritage.”

During the school year, the center is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Fridays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, according to Kevin Santos Flores, the assistant director of the CCCC. The center also provides access to tutoring every Monday evening from 5-9 p.m..

According to Tiffanie Rivera-Di Lucio, the student success peer facilitator at the CCCC, the CCCC has many resources freely available for all members of the OSU community, including a community kitchen, computers with access to free printing, as well as both lounge areas and quiet areas for prayer or meditation.

“Due to the name of our center, a lot of people think that you have to be Latinx in order to come into our center, but that is false,” Rivera-Di Lucio said in an email. “I love meeting new people and building relationships, so seeing a new face coming into our center always brightens up my day.”

Rivera-Di Lucio says anybody interested in engaging is welcome to stop by the CCCC dur-

ing work hours, but another way people can get involved is by attending events.

According to Santos Flores, there are currently two major events planned that will be hosted by the CCCC. On Tuesday, September 26 from 4-6 p.m., the CCCC will put on the annual ¡Bienvenidos! event to kick off the school year. At this event, the center welcomes returning and incoming students and provides a space for Latinx student organizations to table and recruit student involvement, Santos Flores added.

The CCCC will also be partnering with the Native American Longhouse Eena Haws for their annual Dia de los Muertos celebration, which usually takes place on Nov. 2, according to Santos Flores.

“The event is one of the most important

events in the community because it highlights the continent’s indigenous traditions that are used to celebrate the life of family members who have passed away,” Santos Flores said via email.

According to Rivera-Di Lucio, the CCCC is not just a location for events or a provider of resources, it was also a space for her to find a sense of community and belonging during her first year at OSU. “Being away from home and transitioning to a new lifestyle was tough, but getting involved with the Centro and DCE as a whole turned my life around,” Rivera-Di Lucio said in an email.

“I was able to come into a space where I felt welcomed and safe, and I would only hope that students and community members feel the same way.”

“The Native American Longhouse Eena Haws represents the Indigenous people of the Americas and Pacific Islands,” said Luhui Whitebear, assistant director of the NAL Eena Haws, in an email. “We honor and respect that these regions cover thousands of Indigenous cultures.”

A common misconception is that the NAL is only for Indigenous people, according to Whitebear.

“In addition to offering a space for Indigenous students from these regions to feel welcome and a sense of community, we also host events that help educate the broader campus community on Indigenous

The Native Connect event will kick off the year on Sept. 27, in order to unite the different students and organizations on campus.

Soon after, Day of the Dead will be held on Nov. 2, in collaboration with the Centro Cultural Cesar Chavez in celebration of Native American Heritage Month. More events are listed on the NAL website.

The NAL maintains a close relationship with both the Chepenefa Band of Kalapuya and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.

“Our primary purpose is to be a resource for students to build community and learn more about each other,” Whitebear said.

“We hope to see you stop by to learn more about us soon!”

BCC highlights inclusivity, community

By Avalon Kelly, News Contributor In 1969, an Oregon State University football player was kicked off the team for refusing to shave his afro and sideburns. This lead to an uproar among the African-American students on campus.

As a result, 47 African-American students staged a walkout to protest the incident.

These actions and their repercussions sparked a conversation that lead to the formation of the Black Student Union and, later in 1975, the creation of the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center.

Now the BCC continues to provide a space for African and African-American students at OSU. Their location, on the intersection of Memorial Place and Monroe Avenue, offers tutoring, printing, movies, games and conversation, along with scheduled events designed to promote inclusivity and community.

“We’re part of Diversity and Cultural Engagement, so I guess the uniqueness is that we have seven cultural resource centers and not every campus across this country, especially around the globe, has something like that,” said Terrance Harris, director of the BCC. “So that’s a uniqueness in itself, and a space that we can actually dedicate towards African, African-American, black, diaspora, you know, history, legacies, excellence.”

The concepts of both legacy and excellence play directly into the center’s goals for the upcoming year, according to Harris.

They will focus on evaluating what those topics mean and how they apply to students.

Events and programs throughout the year will explore these ideas and many others while tying it together with a sense of

fellowship, Harris added.

Taking place on September 20 in the BCC is the event Black Connect. It will offer an opportunity for incoming students to interact with their peers, BCC staff and several student organizations. Groups represented include the Black Student Union, African Student Association, Black Graduate Student Association, National Society of Black Engineers, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and National Panhellenic Council houses represented on campus.

“The best thing is to just come by and see the events,” Harris said. “You don’t have to be black to come to everything, everyone is welcome.”

According to Trenton Joiner, a leadership liaison with the BCC, the best way to get involved is just going in, talking to the people there and making yourself known.

“My freshman year, I started just coming to the BCC,” Joiner said. “Not being from Oregon, there was the situation that there weren’t as many black people around. This became a home away from home.”

According to Harris, students are encouraged to come in, chat with the staff and enjoy this sense of community anytime. The center is open Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fridays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center also has an email list which students can join to stay informed, Harris added.

Justeen Quartey, the president of the Black Student Union, says the staff at the center wants students to feel welcome and wanted as part of the community. All students, no

“While our name is the Women’s Center, we work with students from all gender identities and we strive to focus our work on gender justice through a lens of intersectional feminism,” said Whitney Archer the associate director of Diversity and Cultural Engagement, and assistant director of the Women’s Center, in an email. “In many ways, our community is connected through our shared values of feminism and social justice vs. a shared gender identity.”

According to Archer, the 2016-2017 staff worked together to form a statement which continues to ground and guide their work today.

According to the OSU Women’s Center webpage, the Women’s Center was established in 1973 with the goal of transforming concerns into actions.

“The WC was founded at the same time at the Women Gender & Sexuality Studies and is one of the oldest university women’s centers in the U.S.,” according to Archer.

According to Joiner, the biggest step in entering one of the cultural centers is asking questions.

That’s the same at any cultural center, they’re places where you can come and feel welcome and that’s the purpose.”

“I think our community is unique because the individuals who make it up are unique. Our community’s culture is not monolithic. We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, even different communities too,” said Miriam Wojtas, a student leadership liaison at the Women’s Center, in an email.

This place is amazing and has so much wealth of knowledge and love to give.

Elijah Stucki Graduate Assistant at Womens’ Center

“For that reason, we are charged with continually fostering community that is intersectional—that way it serves as many folks as possible.”

According to Wojtas, the Women’s Center has been a place where they have felt community and belonging on campus, as well as been pushed to think critically and love social change.

“I just want to see the people I love feel nourished and cared for by the work that comes out of the Women’s Center,” Wojtas said in an email.

The Women’s Center is a place for students, as well as community members, to come in and enjoy anytime they would like, according to Wojtas.

From checking the center out online, to just walking in the building, there is no shortage of ways to get involved.

The women’s center is a resource for all students regardless of their identities, according to Elijah Stucki, a graduate assistant at the Women’s Center.

Anyone can have free tea, coffee or water while talking to amazing people within the community.

“The Women’s Center is my home away from home. Where I’m pushed to be uncomfortable in my social justice journey as well as loved during it,” Stucki said in an email. “This place is amazing and has so much wealth of knowledge and love to give.”

According to Stucki, one of the goals for the women’s center this year is to build and extend their community.

“There is a volunteer program at the Women’s Center called F.A.B or Feminist Action Brigade. They work on programming and projects that the Women’s Center staff does,” Stucki said in an email.

“We do feminist feasts together and we have discussions on social justice topics.

We also hire ten student staff every year to work and do programming through the Women’s Center. Please get involved!

We’d love to see you.”

The Pride Center welcomes all non-LGBTQ+ allies on campus.

Pride Center provides safe space

By Melinda Myers, News Contributor The Oregon State University Pride Center is a campus safe space intended for the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Queer) community at OSU. Through education and outreach, the Pride Center creates an open and non-judgemental space for individuals interested in learning more about human sexuality and gender identity.

“The Pride Center is a physical space, staffed by students, that provides connection to resources, community, and support for LGBTQ+ people and education for nonLGBTQ+ who want to be better allies,” said PJ Harris, a student liaison at the Pride Center in an email.

The Pride Center was first established on campus in 2001 as the Queer Resources Center, according to the OSU Pride Center webpage. In Spring of 2004, the OSU community voted to change the name to the Pride Center to support a more welcoming and inclusive environment.

“People can volunteer, attend events, or simply come and hang out. Many first time visitors think they need a reason to come and visit, but their reason can be as simple as getting a glass of water, relaxing on the couches while scrolling through social media, or just saying hello. Being in the space regularly can lead to conversations, opportunities, and many friendships,” Harris said.

The Pride Center offers services such as a study space, a lounge and a library of books concerning queer history and culture.

Campus Student Health Services also works in congruence with Student Health Services to provide care for students who identify as trans*, according to the Student health webpage.

Non-LGBTQ+ allies on campus are welcome and encouraged to participate with the Pride center.

“Whether or not we are affected, it is

important that we show up for each other’s communities,” said Christine Hoang, a student leader liaison in an email.

The Pride Center offers many opportunities for those interested in learning more, including volunteer opportunities and on-campus events according to their webpage.

“The best tool you can have, in terms of being an ally, is education. Do Google searches, read multiple sources, watch testimonialsbut always remember that the most reliable information on a specific identity is someone who self-identifies with it (not a third party),“ Harris said via email.

According to Harris, the best way nonLGBTQ+ people can be an ally is to lend a voice to the conversation. This can entail speaking to local representatives, other nonLGBTQ+ peers and actively changing the way inclusivity is presented.

“The best service you can provide as an ally is your voice,” Harris said.

The Pride Center acknowledges different significant dates in the queer community such as Queer history month in October, LGBTQ Connect Week and World AIDS Day on December 1st to name a few, according to the webpage.

This year’s Queer history month is centered around Queer and Trans futures, according to Hoang.

“The vision for this theme is to recreate a queer and trans future that recognizes the past, disrupts the present, and imagines new worlds beyond the realities of oppression. It is about persuading ourselves that a better world is possible, and then doing the hard work of building that reality from how we envisioned it,” Hoang wrote via email.

The Pride Center’s next event is the Pride Connect event September 21 from 4-6 p.m.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

STEFFI KUTCHER | ORANGE MEDIA NETWORK

Student Fee Committee Chair Peter Sc hwar tz intends to inc rease the transparency of the fee-setting process during the coming academic year.

OMN ARCHIVES

(Left to right) ASOSU President Simon Brundage and Vice President Radhika Shah intend to develop a web portal to track vacant housing in Corvallis and contact information for landlords and property management companies.

Letters from ASOSU Executive Branch Fellow Students, First, we would like to extend a warm welcome to all incoming freshmen and transfer students.

It is with great excitement that we welcome you to your new home. You are entering a community that is dynamic, compassionate, and innovative. It is a community that is devoted to addressing the important issues of our time, surmounting bigotry and division, and, ultimately, changing the world. We are proud to have you join us in this collective effort, and look forward to seeing all you will accomplish during your time at Oregon State University, and beyond.

We would also like to welcome all returning students back to OSU. Having spent the last few months on campus, we have become alltoo familiar with the tranquility of a Corvallis summer. We are more than ready to have campus return to its natural, vibrant state.

The students of OSU are what make Corvallis the best college town in the PAC-12—and, in our unbiased opinion, the world.

For those who are returning, you may recall the guest column we wrote in the Daily Barometer at the end of last year. In that column, we discussed three primary goals for the summer: improving the ASOSU website; facilitating the introduction of a ridesharing ordinance to Corvallis; and, finally, developing a comprehensive agenda for the academic year. We are happy to share that we have successfully followed through on these goals.

The ASOSU website—while still imperfect—has been tailored to be more userfriendly, easily updatable, and accessible.

Moving forward, we will continue to enhance the website, providing an interface that has consistently updated congressional meeting minutes, a list of all administrative committee and congressional vacancies, and resources for students to learn more about the OSU budgeting process.

We are also proud to announce that Uber and Lyft officially launch their services on September 19th, offering students practical alternatives to SafeRide, and avenues for the

city of Corvallis to be made more accessible, to all. Testimony to the City of Corvallis, correspondence with the public affairs directors of Uber and Lyft, and student voice played an integral role in bringing these services to our city. It is a testament to the power of students that ridesharing has finally been adopted.

Finally, in terms of producing agenda items for the academic year, we are excited to unveil several initiatives that will be unfolding in the coming months. In partnership with a thirdparty organization, we are producing a web portal that contains a comprehensive listing of all off-campus housing vacancies, and methods of contacting associated landlords and property management companies. This is a service not currently provided by the city of Corvallis, or by OSU. Our aim is to have this initiative completed by January, when the search for housing begins to escalate.

In addition, we believe it important to advertise that ASOSU will be sponsoring monthly town hall meetings. The first of these meetings will be located in the Student Involvement Lounge of the Student Experience Center, Thursday, October 5th, at 5pm. These town halls will be largely informal, but one agenda item to be aware of on October 5th is a discussion regarding the redrafting of the ASOSU Constitution.

Again, we look forward to the year ahead, and are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such a wonderful student body. Our ultimate goal is to improve the student experience at OSU, and to serve as advocates for all students. Indeed, ASOSU is every student at Oregon State University. Together, let’s affect positive, meaningful change.

Introducing the Life Section

LIFE

By Anna Weeks, Life Editor

Dear Reader, The start of a new school year brings a new staff, rule changes and this year, a brand new section in our beloved Daily Barometer. The Life Section will feature opinion-based writing including pieces on social justice, campus life, fraternity and sorority life, entertainment and, hopefully, much more to be added.

The content will hopefully inspire difficult, yet necessary, conversations to be had on campus, ranging from politics to pop culture.

Think of these articles as a conversation starter amongst your peers.

Readers will have an exciting opportunity to be a part of the creation of the Life Section by giving their own personal input. This is a work in progress. With each addition we strive to achieve a stronger voice and improve our coverage and reach. We invite you to be part of this learning curve.

You, as the reader, are an integral part of this newly created section because you will be the focus of content. Your experiences, opinions, advice, concerns and achievements will be highlighted and discussed. The next time you are walking around campus and see a newsworthy story, a student worth a spotlight or an idea to explore, reach out.

Become involved.

As the Life Editor, I invite email responses, ideas for topics to be covered, engagement on social media and letters to the Life Editor. This will allow the Life Section to grow and evolve with suggestions and constructive criticism from the community.

I believe these pieces will give a new spark to our student newspaper. We are hoping to inspire our readers to not only make the most of their college experience, but to share it with their peers.

Being such a new section, we expect to evolve with time. While much of the content entertains, our goal is to cover issues and areas based on truth yet utlizing the opinions of the writer, facts and at times—humor.

I have held various positions at Orange Media Network, including being a member of the street team, a multimedia contributor, the first Greek Life Blogger and currently, the first-ever Life Editor. My head is buzzing with ideas and I am excited for the upcoming year.

As a reminder, the opinions featured in the Life Section do not reflect the views of the entire Barometer staff, but rather the individual reporters.

Sincerely, Anna

Welcome to Céad míle fáilte Escapist Culture Columnist focuses on

Pop media carries importance, entertainment

By Griffin Thenell, Columnist

JOSHUA LUCAS | ORANGE MEDIA NETWORK

Griffin Thenell is a second-year studying pre- computer science. His column, entitled Escapist Culture, will feature pop culture ranging from movies and TV to games.

Hi everybody.

My name is Griffin Thenell. I am a computer science major, a TV producer and most of all, a pop culture fan. Before anything, I want to share a story because that is what pop culture is all about.

The year was 2008. A mother took her young son and his friend to the movie theater in Oregon City to go see a movie and the two boys were ecstatic. The lights went down and after the previews, the movie started. They get their first glimpse of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and they grow crazy. That was the first Marvel movie my friend and I ever saw and since then, we’ve seen almost every single one together. We have been doing this for almost ten years.

The reason I love pop culture and the reason I want to write about it, is that it is fun and it brings people together. In a world

where we never know what is going to happen next, whether it be forest fires, hurricanes or earthquakes, we can jump to music or film to escape for at least a little bit. We can use it to depict the world from a different angle or to metaphorically explain what is going on in current events.

In a presentation at the LA Times Festival of Books in 2016, Marvel Comics cofounder Stan Lee said, “Entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing.”

So why not analyze that good thing? Why not share these amazing mediums we have with as many people as possible? The scope of pop culture is endless. From comics to movies to TV to music, there is something for everybody, and the landscape of pop culture is always changing.

If Marvel releases a new comic series, Sony announces the next PlayStation or LucasFilm drops a trailer for the next Star Wars movie, there is someone out there who is excited.

And to be honest, that person is probably me. In Escapist Culture, I plan to dive right into the depths of pop culture and analyze its importance, as well as why we love it. Why are certain franchises like Game of Thrones so popular? Why does Call of Duty get released every year? Will Batman ever kill the Joker?

Spoiler—he won’t.

My knowledge is mostly in the realm of video games, movies and comics, so I plan to write a lot about that. I’ll pull insight from big name companies like IGN and Kotaku, but I also want to hear from you. If you have something in pop culture that you want me to write about or just want to share an opinion, let me know. Shoot me an email at thenellg@oregonstate.edu. So, excelsior true believers. And until I can come up with my own catchphrase, have a wonderful day.

To contact columnists with comments, suggestions or story ideas, send an email to Baro.life@oregonstate.edu or come visit with them on the fourth floor of the Student Experience Center.

social justice, politics

By Delaney Shea, Columnist

in the context of beliefs from all sides of any matter. I know that social justice and politics are quite possibly the top two things to steer clear of at family dinners to avoid serving awkward soup and pie a la regret. However, the fact that it has become the norm to come into such discussions with self-righteousness and cynicism is itself an issue that must be addressed. The term “political correctness?”

A great term to say in a crowded room when craving attention. Too often I catch people, first and foremost myself, basing whole opinions off one quote. My guess is that this stems from our culture where being wrong is a cause for ridicule, and where being able to speak empty words confidently is a huge asset. We are better than this.
