ASOSU prepares for year ahead Executive branch, legislative branch, Student Fee Commitee focus on student engagement

By JOE WOLF Web Producer While many students take a summer to work, travel or explore other passions, the new leadership of the Associated Students of Oregon State University will be working to prepare for the academic year.

The student government, designed to mirror the U.S. federal government in some respects, is made up of an executive branch, a legislative branch and a judicial branch. The legislature is made up of a Senate and a House of Representatives, with senators serving two year terms and representatives only one.

Executive Branch In the executive branch, one of ASOSU President Justin Bennett’s priorities over the summer is formalizing a relationship with TurboVote, an online portal used by some universities to help students register to vote and receive absentee ballots. A representative of the company reached out to the student government expressing an interest integrating the portal into MyOSU. In the meantime, a stand-in website could be set up by the end of fall term.

“During our voter registration drives we would encourage people to register through that portal,” Bennett said. “The other side of that is a lot of advertising to get the word out.”

Bennett also wants to train and prepare next year’s executive branch staff to begin their roles by the end of the summer. Each ASOSU president is given the power to staff their cabinet. Bennett, who served in last year’s executive branch, renamed his old position from director of government relations to legislative affairs. The responsibilities, working with the state and federal legislature to advocate for student issues, remain the same. The other four director-level positions are the directors of PR and marketing, diversity initiatives, community initiatives and the chief of staff.

Below these positions, there are assistant directors under legislative affairs and PR and marketing. There are also eight coordinator positions across a diversity team and a community team, Bennett explained. The diversity team is made up of coordinators for queer affairs, multicultural affairs, women’s affairs and international affairs. These roles are usually filled by individuals who identify as the identities served, but this is not a requirement for hiring.

“The diversity team offers representation to marginalized communities and act as liaisons into those communities,” Bennett said. “The community team deals with broader topics such as environmental issues.”

Legislative Branch Aiden Tariku, who serves a dual role as vice president in the executive branch and president of the Senate, plans to hold Senate meetings to discuss legislation and confirm coordinator positions hired in the executive branch.

Another summer project will be holding an internal election during the first meeting to elect a Senate president pro-tempore.

“The Senate pro-tempore presides over Senate in the absence of the vice president and will be delegated tasks that the vice president may need assistance with,” Tariku said in an email.

Beyond these legislative and administrative goals, Tariku stressed preparing the nine new senators in a chamber of 12 with information about their roles.

“I’m beyond thankful and excited to be working with such a worthy and dedicated group,” Tariku said via email. “They’ve already proven themselves to be passionate about the work they’ll be doing, and I’m not only excited to see what they all accomplish as student representatives, but as individuals.”

I’m beyond thankful and excited to be working with such a worthy and dedicated group.

AIDEN TARIKU Vice President of ASOSU

Tariku and Speaker of the House Carol Moreno split Congressional training over two days this summer. Moreno said one of the issues faced in previous years is representatives losing interest in the summer due to lack of interaction with the leadership and the rest of the chamber.

“A goal that Vice President Tariku and I set out for this year was to have more activities leading up to the inauguration in order to develop stronger relationships with members of Congress and to increase retention,” Moreno said via email. “In April, we held a Congressional social at the OSU challenge course.”

The first of the more formal trainings was already held in June, including a series of workshops on the history of the student government, its constitution, campus resources and how to properly format legislation. Moreno noted all members of Congress will be required

to receive cultural competence training to prepare them to represent all students in the OSU community.

Another goal Moreno noted was a focus on updating the section of the ASOSU website regarding Congress.

“It is our hope that designing a new Congressional page will allow us to have biographies on senators and representatives, as well as a legislative folder that will allow the general public to easily access legislation,” Moreno said via email.

In addition to internal changes in her own branch, Moreno said she and the other leaders within ASOSU are working to improve integration between different branches.

“A challenge that many representatives expressed this last year was feeling rushed and ill-informed through our student fee process. At times, representatives would not see budget proposals until they were asked to vote on them,” Moreno said in an email. “This is something that we have already been working to improve through a series of Student Fee Committee improvement meetings.”

Student Fee Committee SFC Chair Theresa Thurston echoed Moreno, citing the difficulties of previous cycles where concerns over fee levels were not reconciled between members of the SFC, which recommends the budgets, and Congress, which approves them. This led to budget levels not being passed and required differences to be worked out in a mediation process.

“This better preparation will include a more rigorous check to ensure students have the opportunity to access information, as well as an emphasis on attending the meetings, presentations, hearings and events that the SFC uses to inform itself on units, including unit presentations, SFC deliberation and open hearing,” Thurston said via email.

Thurston, who served as vice-chair last year, also intends to improve outreach with the student body through informational materials and an updated website.

“Although relatively small compared to tuition, student fees are not pocket change either,” Thurston said via email. “Being aware and involved in the process is an important opportunity for students to voice their concerns as well as learn more about the experiences possible for students on campus.”

Oregon State University’s School of Arts and Communication, home to the art, music, new media communications and theater arts departments, is preparing to receive a modern arts and education complex in 2022.

On April 19, 2017, President of Oregon State University Ed Ray sent out an all-student email confirming that a $25 million donation was made by an anonymous donor to Oregon State University’s School of Arts and Communication within the College of Liberal Arts. The donation will serve as the base of its funding.

Larry Rodgers, the dean of the college, explained the initial gift was just the beginning of the project. With additional fundraising increasing the total amount of private support to $30 million, Rodgers said the university is also seeking approval for $30 million in state bond support, turning the complex into a $60 million endeavor. The LaSells Stewart Center, which serves as a performing arts and conference center, will be the foundation of the renovation.

“Currently LaSells is approximately 40,000 square feet and we are enlarging the new building to over 100,000 square feet on the same location,” Rodgers said. “This building will show how much OSU values the arts to prospective students in the future. Every great university has a great library and student union, and every great university should have a place for students to interact with the arts.”

Chris Chapman, the director of bands, is

excited about the future project and what it will provide for both faculty and students.

This building will show how much OSU values the arts to prospective students in the future.

Every great university has a great library and student union, and every great university should have a place for students to interact with the arts.

LARRY RODGERS Dean of the College of Liberal Arts “We are thrilled about this,” Chapman said.

“From what we understand there is going to be a band and orchestra room, choir room, full classrooms, offices for each faculty member and space for equipment and instrument storage.”

See ARTS COMPLEX Page 5

COVER STORY ARTS COMPLEX, Continued from page 4 The music department will be greatly affected by the planned upgrade, Chapman noted. The music program will be relocated from Benton Hall to the new complex. Constructed in 1887, Benton Hall was the first academic building built on campus, initially housing 140 majors.

AKS H AY PAWA R | OR ANG E MEDIA NETWOR K Steven Zielke, the Patricia Valian Reser Professor of Music, sits down and discusses the plans for the School of Arts and Communication.

As the college began to expand, programs left Benton Hall for other buildings better suited for

their work. The department of music is the last remaining program in the building today.

“We are still here and we love Benton and I think our students love Benton,” said Steven Zielke, the Patricia Valian Reser Professor of Music. “But it is remarkably inadequate in terms of a good place to study music.”

Due to a lack of soundproofing throughout the building, the rooms in Benton Hall are unsuitable to rehearse or perform in, Chapman said.

“If you hear one student playing, the whole building would be able to hear them practicing,” Chapman said. “Students do not practice here because they do not want their mistakes to be heard by everybody, and making mistakes is a part of the process.”

Zielke said that windows must remain open when his choir is rehearsing, as the lack of air conditioning causes difficulties when he teaches and rehearses.

“Outside there may be a leaf blower,” Zielke said. “Leaf blowers play pitches, mowers have pitches and it’s really hard for us to sing when there’s a pitch-emanating device right outside our windows.”

Beyond the technical improvements, Zielke said one of the things he looks forward to is having all of the arts in one building where they can interact with each other.

“Once we start sharing a building you will see more collaboration between the arts,” Zielke said. “We do some already, operas and musical theaters, but I think you will see more ongoing collaboration with music and art, art and theater, and maybe dance someday.”

Even students that have never taken an art class, been in a play, sang in a choir or played in a band will be greatly affected by investment being made with the art and education complex, Zielke said.

“Arts make the entire environment better,” Zielke said. “This will not only improve the reputation of the campus, but it will improve the education of the campus regardless of major.”

OSU offers resources to make Honors College more accessible Students struggle to manage program expectations

For many students, college can be a scramble to compile an impressive resume, glowing recommendations and high-impact experiences as they work toward a degree. The subset of students who enroll in the Oregon State University Honors College can face an additional set of dilemmas, but also gain access to a unique set of opportunities.

HC students, especially those who are members of underserved communities, may struggle to pay for the extra tuition and balance honors classes with classes for their major. To mitigate this, the HC develops and runs initiatives to keep the program and all its benefits available to students from all backgrounds.

There are about 1200 OSU students currently working toward an Honors Baccalaureate degree, according to the OSU HC website. Students in the honors program must take a certain amount of honors classes, open only to HC members. These classes must include a set number of upper-division credits and colloquia credits, with colloquia classes being small classes on specialized topics. Students must also keep their GPA above 3.25 and complete a thesis on a topic of their choosing.

Steve Clark, vice president of university relations and marketing, provided statistics on student demographics within the HC. “Data gathered by the university shows that in Fall 2017, 10 percent of the Honors College enrollment was made up of first-generation students and 16 percent was made up of highneed students,” Clark said via email.

In comparison, 23.3 percent of total OSU undergraduate students enrolled on the first day of the term were first-generation, according to the OSU Spring Term 2018 Enrollment Summary. These students are the first in their family to attend a college or university.

Tyelor Reynolds, a second-year chemistry major in the OSU Honors College, is one of these students. Reynolds said his experiences receiving support from the program has been mixed.

“The extra $500 per term is definitely kind of a burden because it doesn’t seem like we’ll somehow get $6,000 worth of services or support in four years,” Reynolds said via email. “The thesis is also something that I have to rearrange my schedule, major and time around because it’s going to be a large project and commitment. I haven’t gotten any financial support from the Honors College so far, including the differential tuition

scholarships, which makes being in the Honors College kind of a sacrifice of money and time to look a little better on resumes.”

However, according to Reynolds, he has enjoyed the classes offered by the HC despite the cost, as well as the lunches and research seminars offered periodically.

“In terms of honors classes requirements, implementing classes hasn’t been difficult because they usually offer honors versions of classes I have to take anyway,” Reynolds said via email. “Colloquia are nice small credit classes which help to get up to 15 credits each term, and they are usually pretty relaxed and refreshing.”

“Data gathered by the university shows that in Fall 2017, 10 percent of the Honors College enrollment was made up of first-generation students and 16 percent was made up of highneed students.”

STEVE CLARK OSU Vice President for University Relations and Marketing

According to Reynolds, he expects to graduate Oregon State University with about $43,000 of student debt.

However, not every student who enrolls in the HC stays in the program. Carrie Sanders, a second-year biohealth sciences major and HC student, said she plans on leaving the HC soon.

As an out-of-state student, Sanders explained it is difficult for her to take the extra credits that the HC requires.

“I didn’t get much financial aid from the government or the school to begin with,” Sanders said. “I have gotten the Honors College Experience Scholarship, but that’s directed toward an extracurricular activity, not my overall tuition. That’s why I work 13-18 hours per week: to try and help with the cost.”

To make up these gaps in students’ abilities to pay, Tara Williams, the associate dean of the Honors College, explained the HC has developed a variety of initiatives to make the college more diverse and accessible.

According to Williams, their efforts are focused on three categories: recruitment, programs and scholarships. These efforts

AK SHAY PAWAR | ORANGE ME DIA NE TWORK Located on the fourth floor of the Learning Innovation Center is the main office of The Honors College where students can meet with their advisors.

HONORS, Continued from page 6 include hosting a Peer Mentoring program and free HC networking events.

“We consider a number of populations to fall within that ‘underserved’ category, certainly including students with high financial need, students from underrepresented groups, and first-generation students,” Williams said via email.

According to Williams, participation in an Honors College is immensely beneficial for students at public universities, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

“Research has found a positive association between honors education and student success as measured in a variety of ways (firstterm GPA, first-year credits earned, first- to second-year retention, and graduation rates),” Williams said via email. “One study found

that students who joined an honors college at a public university graduated at a rate that was consistently 10 percentage points higher than for similarly qualified students who did not join an honors college. Furthermore, honors college participation appeared to eliminate any negative impact of low family income on graduation rates.”

As for scholarships, students may apply for the Honors College Differential Tuition Scholarship to offset the $1500 that HC enrollment adds to a student’s tuition per year. Additionally, there are experience-based programs and scholarships offered, such as the DeLoach Work Scholarships, the Chambers Environmental Research Awards and the James Krueger Honors Fund, among others.

“The HC has a number of other programs for current students to support research and experiential learning,” Williams said via email.

“Financial need is taken into account for some of these, as well.”

Q&A with Danté Holloway Coordinator for Clubs and Organizations at Student Leadership Institute

By JARRED BIERBRAUER Editor-in-Chief Q: How many clubs and organizations are at Oregon State University?

Prism is OSU’s quarterly art & literary journal. We are a magazine by students, for students. Every term we accept submissions from students of all walks of life and present the best work for the OSU community to enjoy.

We accept work from all majors and in all mediums

/OSUPrism @OSUPrism @OSUPrism 10 • DAILYBAROMETER.COM • MONTH OF MONDAY, JUNE 25, 2018

Danté: We have a little over 400 total registered clubs and organizations, that includes our sport clubs which are really programs of recreational sports not really recognized.

Q: Why should students get involved with clubs at OSU? Danté: To help students get to know more people and get connected with something meaningful on campus you really care about or something that’s really interesting to them.

It’s also a way for students to potentially learn about something new. In addition to meeting new people, you learn about new topics, or about how to enhance your major.

A club could compliment what a student is studying and help them focus in that area.

We have so many professional based student organizations that cater to that need, or it could be something completely separate from their interests. Maybe a student is an engineering major but can also be a part of the gaming club for fun and relief.

Clubs can help students learn transferable skills for life. They could be a potential office for an organization, learn about managing people, running meetings, managing budgets, navigating bureaucracy, requesting funds, planning events and activities and having difficult conversations. There are so many skills that can be learned that transfer to whatever students decide to do in life either within or beyond their career.

Data shows that students who get involved with student organizations on campus are more likely to graduate, more likely to enjoy their experience at OSU, more likely to stay on this campus and to have an impact. It’s really important as a University to try and find ways to engage that. So with over 400 clubs on campus, we have over 15000 students involved with those clubs. So over half of OSU students are connected to a recognized student organization on this campus, which obviously is having a huge impact on their ability to stay and to be successful and eventually graduate from OSU.

Danté Holloway talks about his work with university clubs.

and times like that they will start getting that information naturally.

Clubs, we ask them to report when their meetings are so you can find their schedule on our website, and you can pop in to one of the meetings to get to know people.

At the beginning of the school year on the first day of classes, Sep. 20., we will have the Beaver Community Fair out at the quad where I would expect in the range of about 100 to 150 clubs to be out there tabling to recruit people. It will be the first opportunity to start to explore some of the clubs on campus and talk with some of the student members and officers of those organizations on campus.

In general, any student can just pop into our office in SEC 108 and we can help them start to identify clubs that might be of interest and who their contacts are. So, we can facilitate access to getting information about clubs and getting connected with people.

It will take a student taking some level of self-initiative to actually go to a meeting or make initial contact, but we’ll do everything we can to support a student in doing that.

Q: How can students get involved with clubs and organizations on campus?

Danté: There are some clubs that are completely open in terms of if you find their information on their website, there’s an option just to “join now.” That would get students added to the roster, and as the club is communicating information about meetings

Mike Riley named head coach of San Antonio AAF team Assistant head coach of Beaver football departing six months after his return to OSU

By JARRED BIERBRAUER Editor-in-Chief Nearly six months after being hired as the assistant head coach of the Oregon State University football program, Mike Riley was named the head coach of the San Antonio franchise of the Alliance of American Football League, according to a press release from Beaver Athletics.

Riley, who was a coach for the San Antonio team in the World League of American Football in 1991, will be returning to the Alamo City to join the eight-team AAF league, a new professional football league launching this coming winter.

The teams will represent Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Orlando, Phoenix, Salt Lake, San Antonio and San Diego, according to ESPN. “I want to thank Coach Riley for his contributions to our program and wish him the best in his new challenge,” head coach Jonathan Smith said in a press release.

Prior to Riley’s second return to OSU in 2017, he was the most successful head coach in program history with 93 wins from 199798 and 2003-14. Riley even coached Jonathan Smith, who was a quarterback from 1998 to 2001, now the current head coach of the Beaver football program.

In his past, Riley had left OSU for the NFL to be the head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 1999 to 2001, with his best record being 8-8 in 1999 season, according to the Beaver Athletics website. He then found a job with the New Orleans Saints as an assistant head coach in 2002, where they finished 9-7.

Riley went back to OSU to be the head coach of the Beavers once again in 2003, and would collect two American Football Coaches Association Coach of the Year Awards in 2008 and 2012. He was also named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year in 2008 with a 7-2 conference record.

In 2015, Riley left OSU again to become the head coach of the University of Nebraska, where he led his team to the 2015 Foster Farms Bowl and the 2016 Music City Bowl. On Dec. 18, 2017, Riley was appointed assistant coach of Beaver football by Jonathan Smith, his third time on the OSU coaching staff.

On June 21 of this year, Riley announced his third departure from OSU to become the head coach of the San Antonio franchise in the AAF. The league completed its franchising by awarding their eighth and final team to the city of San Antonio, and will be kicking off their first season nationally next February, one week after the 2019 Super Bowl.

With no current assistant or tight end coach, the OSU football program will have to recruit new coaches to fill the positions before the season starts.

“There already is tremendous interest from coaches around the country to join our team,” Smith said via press release. “We will hire the right coach who will help us build on the significant momentum we have underway in recruiting and student-athlete development.”

The Beavers will bein their official practices on August 3, and will play their first game of the 2018 season against the Ohio State Buckeyes Sep. 1 in Ohio at 9 a.m.

By JARRED BIERBRAUER Editor-in-Chief With summer term underway, students at Oregon State University have the opportunity to get involved with summer intramural sports offered by the Department of Recreational Sports.

Students interested in tournament sports can play four on four soccer, three on three basketball, and as singles or doubles badminton. Tournaments are run using elimination brackets where losing teams drop out and winners advance to playoffs against other well-performing teams.

It’s more of a relaxing environment and there’s not all of the pressure of school going on and trying to make sure you get your homework done.

SAM RODENBERG Sports Program Coordinator Department of Recreational Sports The badminton tournaments’ sign-up deadline is July 13. Soccer comes later in the summer with registration due July 17. The

12 • DAILYBAROMETER.COM • MONTH OF MONDAY, JUNE 25, 2018

basketball tournament will be the last sport of the summer, with sign-ups on August 4.

Sand volleyball is the only league sport available during the summer. The sand volleyball league, which has a sign-up date of July 6, will extend over five weeks. Participation guarantees weekly play regardless of the team’s record. The league will conclude with a playoff bracket at the end of the season.

“Intramurals are just fun to play, especially in the summer when the weather is nice,” said Sam Rodenberg, the Sports Program Coordinator in the Department of Recreational Sports. “It’s more of a relaxing environment and there’s not all of the pressure of school going on and trying to make sure you get your homework done.”

If a student would like to register a team, they can go to the Sports Program office in Dixon Recreation Center and fill out a registration form. If a student who is not enrolled in summer classes intends to participate, they can purchase a $93 extended student membership which also allows access to the recreation center throughout the summer.

“There are individual forms that they have to fill out or a team registration form and they’ll just have their team members fill out the front and back,” Rodenberg said. “They can come and submit it and we’ll get them set up with everything that they need to know with the schedule.”

According to Rodenberg, if a student does not already have a team they can sign up as a free agent on the Dixon Recreation Center website.

“We have a majority of team sports during the summer,” Rodenberg said. “The only individual sport is singles badminton, so if a

All of the intramural sports offered are available for men’s, women’s and co-recreational divisions, according to Dixon’s Sport Programs Graduate Assistant Megan Guilfoyle.

“Some sports we have an open division which means there is no gender ratio requirement, as opposed to co-rec that requires a specific ratio of men to women,” Guilfoyle said. “For all of our summer sports, we offer the men’s, women’s, and co-rec divisions, and our goal is to fill them all.”

Joe Schaffer, the assistant director of Sports Programs for the Department of Recreational Sports, said that they’ve seen student participation in summer intramurals largely stay the same over the past couple of years.

“We started doing summer intramurals

around 2013, the one league that has really taken off for us is the sand volleyball league. We’ve changed sports from here to there,” Schaffer said.

According to Schaffer, the DRS will be instituting a new fee structure this fall for the payment of intramural sports, which will provide students the opportunity to participate in more intramural events and will make it less expensive for those who are frequently involved in intramural sports. The intramural pass will not be in effect this summer, but will be enacted at the start of fall term.

“We’re looking to a new fee structure with having an intramural pass similar to our Fit Pass classes here where a student can purchase a pass and get unlimited participation in intramural sports,” Schaffer said.
