Food on Campus Panda Express

By MELINDA MYERS, News Contributor On the southwest side of the Memorial Union Commons sits Panda Express, a restaurant that serves Chinese cuisine to Oregon State students, faculty and visitors.

Those walking through the MU quad outside cannot cross without catching a tantalizing whiff of orange chicken.

Kevin Herren, a manager at Panda Express, has been working there for over seven years.

His favorite dish is the green bean chicken, and sometimes eats there on his off days to the astonishment of his coworkers.

“We’re different from fast food. We hold a high standard, you know, try to be a sit-down kind of restaurant,” Herren said. “This location is a little different in its layout and clientele, but we still hold a high standard.”

On any given weekday at lunchtime, one can find long lines in front of the Panda Express counter. Signs laid out by Commons staff ask patrons to queue respectfully in anticipation for their lunch.

“We do have pretty long lines. It’s interesting

Coffee on Campus JavaStop

By LIZZY WIEGERS, News Contributor At JavaStop, students, faculty and other visitors can expect a consistently good cup of coffee as well as fun and inviting vibes, according to Erin Carter, manager of JavaStop.

These are the main things that set it apart from other coffee shops on campus. All the coffee comes from Portland Roasting Coffee.

“The roastery is located in Portland, but they source directly from farmers in Guatemala, Costa Rica and Africa to name a few,” Carter said. “They strive to build relationships with the coffee farmers as well as the communities.”

PRC does training at JavaStop, as well as ongoing trainings at their facility that baristas can participate in, according to Carter. This allows the cafe to have baristas who make excellent coffee and care about the drinks they make.

TIE: North Porch/ Trader Bings specialty and seasonal drinks, Carter added.

“We, along with our MURFS (MU Retail and Food Services) sister locations, do a monthly drink special as well as the holiday specialties like pumpkin spice lattes, peppermint mochas and eggnog lattes,” Carter said.

Those who go to JavaStop can get more than just a cup of coffee, or tea.

“The vibe at Java stop is fun and inviting,” Carter said, “We have comfy soft seating for relaxing and visiting, as well as tables for meetings or homework. Most of the time you will find our Java stop staff in the café even when they aren’t working.”

JavaStop is located on the second floor of the MU, right by the lounge. It’s open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

Mikayla Pivec, Basketball

Ryan Nall, Football

By JARRED BIERBAUER, Sports Contributor Just starting out her second basketball season at Oregon State University, point guard Mikayla Pivec has caught the attention of many from around the Pac-12, and the entire nation. Since she stepped onto the court in late 2016, her name has sat high among the stats sheet and has yet to come down.

In her debut game against Lamar University, Pivec tallied up a team-high of three steals.

From that point on, number zero has been electric for the OSU girls basketball team.

OMN AR C HIVES Sophomore point guard Mikayla Pivec defends herself against a Colorado University player.

Pivec also throws javelin for the women’s track and field team at OSU.

As a freshman, Pivec averaged seven and a half points, five rebounds and two assists per game while holding up a .423 shooting percentage. After her performance, she was awarded a spot on the 2016-17 Pac-12 All-Freshman Team.

With basketball in offseason, Pivec decided to join women’s track and field late to throw the javelin 142-4 feet, the fourth longest recorded throw in OSU history.

Now a sophomore, Pivec is off the track and back in the gym. The 2017-18 basketball season is currently underway and Pivec has yet to cool down. With 14 games played, she is averaging 12.4 points, seven rebounds and five assists per game, as well as maintaining a .500 shooting percentage.

Women’s basketball head coach Scott Rueck is happy with Pivec’s performance thus far.

“I’m really proud of Mik,” Rueck said. “I love the way she’s approached it, and now she’s playing a different position. That’s a lot to take on, it’s been really impressive and she’s a great example to our team.”

Following the departure of senior point guard Sydney Wiese, who is now with the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks, there were some large shoes to fill on the court for the Beavers.

Having played shooting guard last year, Pivec stepped into the position and continues to make an impression.

Throughout her career, Pivec has had some stellar performances on the hardwood.

During her sophomore debut against North Dakota, she put up 15 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists and three steals as the new starting point guard. In their most recent game against USC, she hit a half-court shot at the first quarter buzzer.

Freshman forward Taya Corosdale follows up on Pivec’s improvement.

“She’s growing so much,” said Corosdale.

“Playing point guard, that’s definitely different for her. She’s doing really good.”

Number zero has certainly made a difference on both ends of the court for OSU these past two years, and with the national championship looming ever so close, Pivec will be the one to watch.

By GUNNAR BOAG, Sports Contributor Junior running back Ryan Nall was voted as the “Best Student Athlete” by students at Oregon State University.

Nall, who is majoring in speech communication, plans on foregoing his senior year for the NFL Draft. Throughout his career at OSU he amassed 28 touchdowns and multiple academic honors.

Ryan Nall joined the OSU football team in 2014 out of Central Catholic High School in Portland, Oregon. It was there that he rushed for 22 touchdowns and earned 6A Offensive Player of the Year.

Nall would find his first significant playing time in 2015 after the Gary Andersen head coaching change. He entered the season as a tight end or H-back, but was moved to running back as the season progressed. He finished the season with 455 rushing yards and three touchdowns, along with a Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention Award.

2016 gave Nall a significant increase in reps,

as he totaled 951 yards on the ground and added 214 receiving yards—while missing two games. He would finish the season with 15 touchdowns. These statistics earned him Pac-12 All-Conference Honorable Mention and Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention.

In his junior year, Nall added 1,050 total yards and ten touchdowns to his resume.

Nall finished his career with 2,216 rushing yards; he is the only player in OSU history to have three rushes of 75-yards or more. His 24 rushing touchdowns are good for seventh place in school history.

He added a Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team nomination and a CoSIDA Academic All-District 8 honors nomination as well in 2017. Athletes must have a 3.30 GPA or better to qualify for the award.

Nall became a favorite amongst the Beaver faithful, with an eruptive performance against Oregon in 2015, as well as helping the Beaver’s earn their first Pac-12 win in the Andersen era against California in 2016.

Ryan Nall finishes his career at OSU as the eighth leading rusher in school history.

ORANGE MED IA NETWORK ARCHIVES Junior running back Ryan Nall completes a pass during the 2017 Civil War at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. Nall will forego his senior year to enter the NFL draft.

LOG AN HOWEL L | ORAN GE ME DIA N E TWORK Assistant Professor of Social Media Daniel Faltesek has worked at Oregon State for six years.

By ANGEL XUAN LE, Practicum Contributor To a student, New Media Communication is just a class for media. With his colorful suits and surplus of La Croix, Daniel Faltesek shows the world that it’s way more than that.

Daniel Faltesek is an assistant professor of Social Media at Oregon State University. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Iowa and has been teaching media studies at OSU for six years.

Faltesek has taught multiple courses from basic to advanced courses relating to different facets of media. As a New Media Communications professor, Faltesek believes students should be given definitive information that can be adapted to the rest of their lives.

“Information is weird,” Faltesek said.

“Most of the information that is easily verified and can be proven to be concrete fact is not the information that really matters. The information that really matters are at fault with what we generally call social facts.

They’re not things like how many people are unemployed, and the things about society, like what unemployment means. These things are all really complicated constructions. In 2017, you have way less editing happening in media. You have way more access to the means of distribution. You’re in a whole new

Jun Bum Shin

world of information.”

Faltesek also wishes to promote selfreflective learning in a student in ways that they think about their thinking. A student should learn the flexibility to apply their knowledge not just within the classroom, but also with varying situations, according to Faltesek.

“Every class has different learning objectives. So there’s going to be different things you get from each one,” Faltesek said.

“What I really want students to leave with is not necessarily normative content. I don’t have a list of knowledge bits that I want them to spray back at me. I want them to leave with a greater capacity for understanding and taking on new challenges. I want them to leave with a higher sense of self-efficacy. That they feel like they understand what’s going on and that they can affect change.”

Faltesek continually revises and updates his teaching methods to better assist with student success. Through his research, he wants to give the most up-to-date and interesting ideas for students.

“The students at the end of the day are everything,” Faltesek said. “Research is fine.

I really like it. I like publishing books and whatever else. The biggest change you can make as a university professor is the change you make in your students.”

AARON TRASK | ORANGE MED I A NETWORK Marys Peak, located off the Alsea Highway, covered in snow in early December.

Mary’s Peak is the tallest peak of the Oregon Coastal Range, totaling 4097 feet.

Marys Peak

By SYDNEY SULLIVAN, News Contributor

Roads swirl around a mountainous peak and the excitement in the air rises. Glimpses of waterfalls can be seen off the road. When the car is finally parked, it’s a short walk to one of the first views on the Peak. The cascades are laid out on the picturesque setting with the ocean in the distance; and yet this view is only the beginning of what Marys Peak has to offer.

Marys Peak is a place where students can go, and do go, in order to hike, see the ocean, conduct research and experience this unique mountainous structure.

“It is what we call Oregon’s island in the sky,” Dave Eckert, a member of Marys Peak Alliance, said, quoting Bob Lilly.

Marys Peak is deemed so significant for three primary reasons, according to Eckert.

The physical, ecological and cultural aspects of Marys Peak all play an important role in why it is so special.

“There’s nowhere else you can see that whole expanse, it’s just spectacular and gives us a sense of where we are and who we are,” Eckert said.

The physical aspect of Marys Peak is most outwardly seen, and most easily seen by the general public who go to Marys Peak. Emily Abrams, operations coordinator of The Adventure Leadership Institute, talks about how both physical activity course classes and ALI take advantage of the physical diversity provided

by Marys Peak.

“We’ve done all sorts of activities up there, from hiking, to canyoneering, rock climbing and even cross-country skiing,” Abrams said in an email. “We go up there because there’s a wide range of activities we can do, and it’s super close to Corvallis.”

ALI takes several classes up to Marys Peak throughout the course of the year including PAC 316 Rock 2 and PAC 313 Canyoneering, according to Abrams. The classes use the climbing area about halfway up the peak, and also program activities at a creek running along the road known as Parker Creek.

“It’s the highest peak in the coastal range of Oregon, and it serves as an iconic peak that separates the short journey from Corvallis to the coast,” Abrams said in an email.

Tim Schley, an Oregon State University student studying New Media Communications, has had the opportunity to take the classes which go up to Marys Peak and loved them.

“It’s an incredible classroom for our outdoor activities and classes,” Schley said in an email. “It’s a beautiful area and offers us a ton of opportunity

for teaching and fun.”

According to Schley, he has also taken friends and family members up to Marys Peak to enjoy the view.

“Whenever friends or family come to visit, it’s one of the first places we visit,” Schley said in an email. “Whenever I see it on the horizon from I-5 I get excited because I’m almost home.”

PAC class participants and ALI aren’t the only people from OSU interested in Marys Peak though, according to Eckert. Marys Peak is consistently being used to conduct experiments.

“OSU has used Marys Peak as a research facility you might say, since the early ‘20s,” Eckert said.

A current research project occurring on Marys Peak is demonstrating how quickly one insect is adapting to climate change, according to Eckert.

This research may have global significance as we learn how the Earth and its inhabitants can survive with changing atmospheric conditions.

The special environment of Marys Peak is perfect for such studies.

“This project is making global significance and telling us a lot about climate change,” Eckert said.

According to Eckert, Marys Peak is not only important to members of OSU, but also to the local tribes. The cultural significance of Marys Peak is deeply rooted in history, and remains a place of great importance for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and Siletz.

The Marys Peak Alliance works with these tribes in order to preserve cultural history and significance, Eckert added.

The MPA is currently working to name Marys Peak tributaries with the Confederated Tribes, according to Eckert. They are still going through the State and Federal naming process.

The MPA not only focuses their attention on cultural preservation, but also on land preservation, according to Eckert. MPA formed out of concern for a project the forest service was doing in regards to bulldozing on the land.

“We debated how we could deal with that and we thought the best thing was to work with them not to fight with them,” Eckert said.

Ever since then, the Forest Service and MPA have worked together with a mutual respect for one another, according to Eckert. The Forest Service considers what the MPA has to say and takes them seriously. Their partnership has ended up being beneficial to the Forest Service, MPA themselves and, most importantly, to Marys Peak, Eckert added.

“It’s just a nice place to be whether you’re alone or with other people,” Eckert said. “It just brings out the best in people.”

WinCo Foods

OSU Student Health Services

By SYDNEY SULLIVAN, News Contributor Food is an absolute necessity, and when it comes to college supermarkets, WinCo was voted number one by students for Best of Beaver Nation for a reason.

Do you have money to spend on food and no clue where to go? Well, if savings is the goal, WinCo is the best bang for your buck, according to Noah Fleisher, director of Corporate Communications for WinCo. “We call ourselves the supermarket low-price leader and I believe we’ve done that,” Fleisher said.

Cutting out the middleman makes prices more convenient for shoppers, and having the store be employee-owned gives WinCo a unique place amongst other competitors, according to Fleisher.

“From the very top to the very bottom somebody owns a stake in the company and that makes a big difference in how employees

treat others,” Fleisher said.

Many people are drawn to WinCo because of their customer service oriented business, according to Fleisher. Not only do people like to shop there, but they like to work there as well.

“You have a say and you have a voice and that’s a big difference when you have a say in representing the whole company,” Fleisher said.

There is plenty of representation to be had at WinCo. In fact, the letters in WinCo represent the five states where the store originated, according to Fleisher. When the store first originated in the mid-’80s, WinCo stood for “Winning Company”. Today, WinCo has branched out to more than just the five states and can be found in Arizona, Utah and several others.

“An inside tip about WinCo is the salt and vinegar wings are really, really good,” Fleisher said.

Student Health Services staffs clinicians, health educators and other professionals to provide comprehensive primary care, according to Rishi Seshadri, chair of the Student Health Advisory Board. SHS also oversees a number of public health initiatives and provides other important services like substance abuse rehabilitation and resources for sexual assault survivors.

“With its three locations on the OSU campus, students are able to walk over before, after or between their classes rather than travelling elsewhere,” Seshadri said.

In general, it is also much easier for an Oregon State University student to get an appointment at SHS than at a private clinic off campus, according to Seshadri. In addition, SHS can be much more financially affordable for students.

“OSU students who have paid the health fee can schedule an appointment or utilize many other services at no cost,” Seshadri said.

Additionally, Seshadri says SHS employees truly care about the health of the students at OSU. “Providers at SHS are passionate about college health issues and have devoted their careers towards improving the wellbeing of college students,” Seshadri said.

According to Seshadri, any of the professionals at SHS are experts in college health issues, which results in better care for OSU LOGAN HOWELL | ORANGE MED I A NETWORK students.

Early Morning Eats Broken Yolk Cafe

By AVALON KELLY, News Contributor

If you’re driving through Third Street in downtown Corvallis on any given weekend morning, you’re likely to find a crowd of people waiting outside a small storefront. That storefront, for eight hours a day, is home to one of the most popular breakfast spots in town: the Broken Yolk Cafe.

Owners Brooke and Brandon Dale opened Broken Yolk’s doors during March of 2007 and have been serving the Corvallis community ever since. The restaurant focuses primarily on breakfast, but does serve lunch on weekdays. Dishes vary in influence from American to Spanish to Asian, all with a made-from-scratch twist.

Another member of the team who’s been on

board since the restaurant’s inception is Jessica Gordon, the manager and a server on the floor.

“Broken Yolk, to me, is a funky little breakfast joint,” Gordon said. “I mean, we’ve got a little bit of everything for everyone, I like to think. There’s something, I think, for every palate.”

If you’re looking for some suggestions on what to order, the hobo hash is the most popular dish, according to Gordon. This dish is a favorite of Oregon State alum and NFL quarterback Sean Mannion, as well. Other popular menu items include the eggs Benedict and the Cajun skillet, Gordon added.

“I feel like after a decade now, I would like to think that we are a staple of Corvallis,” Gordon said. “The owners are amazing; Brooke and Brandon, they do a lot for the community.

They sponsor a lot of sports teams, we help out

Dutch Brothers prides themselves on the relationships they build with their customers.

“The main thing that separates us from the other coffee shops is, we’re not in the coffee business but we are in the people business,” Wyland Morales, assistant manager at the Washington and 26th Dutch Brothers, said.

In contrast to some of their other competitors, they focus on their customer engagement and relationships, according to Morales.

“We engage with our customer, get to know them and are there for them rather than just make them a drink,” Morales said. “That’s what makes us different.”

Like other coffee shops, they have regular customers who come in every day, according to Morales. The baristas know them by their name and choice of beverage. Whether the

customer is a regular or not, they get to hear a lot of amazing stories, Morales added.

They don’t have one type of customer, according to Morales. Everyone who goes to Dutch Brothers is unique in their own way.

They all have their story to tell and the baristas get to hear them. The baristas are there to have fun.

“Positivity is contagious,” Morales said. “We try to come in everyday with a positive mindset.”

Having this mindset about work makes the baristas actually want to come to work, according to Morales. They get to hang out with their co-workers and forget about the stressors they have outside of work.

“One thing we always like to say is we will leave our problems at the door. When we are here, we are doing what is best for the customer,” Morales said.

By ERICK DURANO, Practicum Contributor Local Boyz, a popular Hawaiian food staple located in Cobblestone Square, a building on the corner of 14th and Monroe, has been famous among students for their hearty and delicious island style meals.

According to Kim Marchesi, co-owner of Local Boyz, her and her husband Roy started the business when Roy woke up one night from a dream wherein he had owned his own Hawaiian Café. Roy Marchesi was born and raised in Honolulu, where he grew up surrounded by Hawaiian delicacies. Kim and Roy Marchesi promptly opened up shop in 1993, in the same location as they’re in now, amidst a snowstorm, having had to close early because they ran out of food to feed demand.

After that fateful snowstorm, Local Boyz

started growing into a well-known spot in the Oregon State community. They became so big, in fact, that they had to tear down a wall to expand their services from take-out to having dine-in options as well, according to Kim Marchesi.

“There was a juice bar over in that area around 1999, and they went out of business. The landlord offered the space to us and we went from 14 seats to about 35 afterwards!” Kim Marchesi said.

The Marchesi’s have recently taken a step back and allowed their son, Rocco Marchesi, to take over for main operations. According to Local Boyz’ website, they are open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays from noon to 7 p.m.

“Our sweet shoyu chicken is definitely one of our fan favorites, then the next two would have to be our Hawaiian style steak, and our ribs!”

Kim Marchesi said.

Beginning with its first store in Ohio in 1982, Buffalo Wild Wings now operates in every U.S. state. It has even become an international name with locations in Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In total, there are 1,200 operating restaurants.

Jim Fisher, the general manager of the BWW in Corvallis, has been with the company for four years. Fisher believes BWW is popular in Corvallis because of the connection the restaurant has to Oregon State University.

“Our partnership with OSU has definitely kept us plugged in and involved with the students,” Fisher said. “We’re actively involved with several programs over there, including Rec. Night at Dixon, as well as hosting the Coach’s Show on a live radio broadcast. Our guests can join us on Tuesday nights during basketball season from 6-7:00 p.m. and on Wednesday nights from 6-7:00 p.m. during football season.

One of the things our guests really like checking

out too, especially OSU alumni, is all of the OSU memorabilia. People take pictures in front of it. We also have quite a few fraternities and sororities that do fundraising here by utilizing our Eat Wings Raise Funds program. We do it with all kinds of charities or groups trying to raise money.”

With 16 sauces and five different types of seasonings, BWW can cater to many different tastes. The menu additionally includes burgers, salads, desserts and several sides.

Customers are able to dine in at BWW, but also have the options of phoning in orders and placing orders online. For those who choose to dine-in, there are promotions on some nights, according to Fisher.

“Tuesdays and Thursdays are huge because of our promotional wing nights,” Fisher said.

“It’s half-off traditional wings on Tuesday and discounted boneless wings on Thursday.”

Treat Yo Self Dinner Block 15 Brewing Co.

By MELINDA MYERS, News Contributor Block 15 is a homegrown Corvallis pub and brewery that provides a unique dining and brewing experience. Block 15 has two locations in Corvallis, a pub on Jefferson and a brewery house in south Corvallis.

According to Seth Steiling, marketing director for Block 15, the establishment is dedicated to creating a brew pub with good food and beer that is a community space.

Block 15 also works with local farmers, foragers and vintners to create their menus, according to Steiling.

“We want to support and respect and reciprocate the community that has supported us,” Steiling said.

Block 15 is a brewing leader in the west, according to Steiling This is partly attributed to their cool ship program—an old and practiced Belgian practice of beer brewing that uses an alternative way to ferment, known

as “spontaneous fermentation”. This cool ship gives a unique taste that is strictly Block 15.

“The beer is inoculated by atmospheric microorganisms,” Steiling said. “This provides a unique expression of our location.”

According to Steiling, Block 15’s owners, Nick and Kirsten Arzner, create an environment where new ideas and creativity are encouraged by the staff.

“It didn’t take long to make my place here special, and that makes me grateful. I’ve never worked in an environment with so much camaraderies,” Steiling said.

Block 15 is focused on reflecting and giving back to the Corvallis community, according to Steiling.

“We see ourselves as part of the community, and we’re determined to be as much of a fixture in creating a healthy local community,” Steiling said. “We want to have a cool space with good food and beer, and we treat everyone with respect.”

Shopping The Book Bin

By SYDNEY SULLIVAN, News Contributor Personal notes are hidden inside pages of old, well-loved books. New books line the shelves with a smell of crisp paper. The environment is peaceful and glimpses of fur passing by between the shelves gives the feel of home. It’s almost hard to remember this home-like place is The Book Bin. The Book Bin on Fourth Street in downtown Corvallis is a bookstore with a little bit of everything, according to Sandra Schleicher, manager of The Book Bin. The bookstore has everything from old books to DVDs, with seasonal items coming and going as well.

“We also have our cat Tess, who is always a big hit when people meet her at the store,” Schleicher said in an email.

Many Hands Trading

Another great aspect of The Book Bin is that they provide the option of cash or instore credit to those willing to give up some books, according to Schleicher. This gives students and community members the opportunity to get more cash, or add to their already-existing collection.

“My favorite part about the Book Bin is new release day—I love seeing all the recent books that have come out, learning about new authors and exploring different genres and subjects,” Schleicher said in an email.

The Book Bin is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Book buying takes place Monday and Thursday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The buying counter is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Virgo: Aug. 23 - Sept. 22 A helpful new moon is bringing you luck. If you’ve been going on interviews lately, you might receive a juicy job offer. Or if you were trying to arrange a nice date with somebody, things will finally come together. Enjoy a period of good fortune.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 You’ll need to make up your mind as the moon provokes some strong reactions. Maybe you’ll finally realize that a romantic partner or friend isn’t good for you because he or she is toxic. Or perhaps you’ll decide what you really want to be when you grow up.

Pisces: Feb. 19 - March 20 Neptune is giving you a spacey, out-of-body feeling.

You’ll want to sit and daydream.

Or you’ll play video games and watch lots of TV. You’re taking a little break from reality, which is fine. Just don’t neglect your relationship, your family or your pets too much.
