OPINION

Editorial: OSU mishandled communication Tuesday Students, community members were confused, frustrated by university’s response to threatening social media posts

By LAUREN SLUSS, RILEY YOUNGMAN Editor-in-Chief, Web & Mobile Manager An ominous tweet from the university’s official Twitter account. A slightly less-vague, yet still unclear alert from officials over two hours later. Finally, the all-clear. The next day, an email sent out defending the university and calling for broader community involvement and reaction.

Confused what we’re talking about? So were over 32,000 Oregon State University students, staff, families and community members following university alerts that social media posts threatening violence against the OSU campus were being investigated.

To bring everyone up to speed, here is a quick recap of what took place Tuesday, Feb. 27: Tuesday morning, a former OSU student named Christopher Strahan tweeted threats of violence towards OSU. The university was made aware of these tweets through SafeOregon.com, the Oregon State Police statewide tip line.

OSU subsequently tweeted this message at 11:52 a.m., “Our public safety officials are aware of recent concerning tweets and are investigating. As always, we encourage students and the Oregon State community to report any concerns to OSU Public Safety at 541-737-7000.”

Two hours later, around 1:50 p.m., OSU students recieved an email alert repeating that Oregon State Police were investigating social media posts threatening violence at OSU’s campus.

Another email alert was sent out an hour later stating the individual believed to have authored the social media posts was in custody.

We were on campus while these events were taking place Tuesday. We received the university’s tweets and subsequent emails. We as students, however, did not feel safe or even slightly reassured by the university’s communication.

From reading OSU’s tweet and emails that day, no student was informed what these

threats were. No student was made aware how the university was investigating. No student was even assured that their next class wouldn’t be the scene of a school shooting.

What we were assured of, however, is the presence of a monumental breakdown in communication from university administrators.

From reading OSU’s tweet and emails Tuesday...no student was even assured that their next class wouldn’t be the scene of a school shooting.

This was apparent from the numerous calls for OSU to clarify their initial tweet and the clear outrage from students and family members who felt helpless in the situation. Without the context needed to fully understand the situation and potential danger they were facing, several students made the decision to leave class and avoid campus for rest of the day. Instead of stepping in to further clarify or reassure students they were not in immediate danger, the university chose to merely state they were investigating the social media posts many students had already seen.

In a time where school shootings are commonplace, we as students are looking to our administrators to assure us we are safe and our well-being is prioritized. It is clear in this case that the university and the administrators failed the students they are employed to serve.

Not only was the student body given inefficient information, but we were also accused as being part of the problem.

Another all-students email was sent the

following day, authored by Vice President of University Relations and Marketing Steve Clark and Vice President of Finance and Administration Mike Green. In this email, Clark and Green outlined the events that took place the previous day and how the university responded.

However, instead of acknowledging the missteps from the university or the public’s response, the email called out the community.

Clark and Green noted the threatening social media posts had been active since early Tuesday morning, yet the university was not informed of them until 12:02 p.m.

“As a community,” the email then stated, “we all must recognize that such a delay is problematic. We encourage all members of the OSU community--and the public--to immediately say something if you see something.”

Absent from that letter? The signature of Ed Ray, the OSU president. The signature of Suzanne Tannenbaum, the OSU director of Public Safety. The signature of Dan Larson, the interim vice provost of Student Affairs.

It is worth noting the university was notified

of the threats through an anonymous tip made through the internet. They did not discover it themselves. The community did their part to be vigilant and say something when they saw something. At the time of these tweets Strahan had 19 Twitter followers.

It is the university’s obligation above all else to monitor and proactively seek out threats and danger to the campus community.

We know this individual has a criminal history relating to this type of behavior.

We know software exists that can monitor social media threats. We know OSU employs professionals to keep the public safe. And yet, Tuesday was still a frightening and confusing day to students.

OSU needs to own up to the fact they failed their students in this situation.

The leaders of the university, starting from the top with President Ray, need to further consider how their communications are received and learn from this incident. We as students put our trust and faith in our university officials to keep us informed, educated and protected--and it’s time our administrators do just that.

OSU Department of Chemistry progresses skin cancer research New treatment studies fight melanoma, possibly other cancers

MELIND A MYERS | ORANGE MED IA NETWORK Elizabeth Kaweesa, a graduate student, examines cancer cells through a microscope. Kaweesa studies specifically how mensacarcin affects cancer cells.

By MELINDA MYERS News Reporter New research out of the Department of Chemistry shows promising results in anti-cancer treatments.

Assistant Professor Dr. Sandra Loesgen has brought mensacarcin research from the University of Göttingen to Oregon State University.

“The bacterium is from German soil. Next to the university there, and that was before 1998,” Loesgen said. “My doctoral adviser Axel Zeeck team isolated this Streptomyces bottropensis and they found mensacarcin; they could purify it and they could identify the structure.”

Graduate student Elizabeth Kaweesa looks specifically at how mensacarcin affects cancer cells.

“In determination of its cytotoxicity, it’s very selectively cytotoxic against melanoma,” Kaweesa said. “In our lab we screen compounds on colon cancer cell lines, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer but mensacarcin

is very selective to melanoma and it also acts really fast.”

Kaweesa said mensacarcin induces programmed cell death, or apoptosis.

“We observe that mensacarcin enters the cell and causes cell death within 20 minutes,” Kaweesa said. “My main objective is to study the mechanism of action. We know that it does kill, but we need to figure out how it causes melanoma cell death.”

Energy metabolism in the body involves different processes like glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, Kaweesa said. These reactions happen in and around the mitochondria, an organelle used specifically by cells for energy production.

“Based on fluorescence imaging and different cellular assays we know that mensacarcin targets the mitochondria; it therefore affects the energy metabolism,” Kaweesa said. “But we’re yet to figure out how it disrupts energy metabolism leading to cell death. It could be via any of the mitochondrial processes, so we’re yet to figure that out.”

Loesgen said melanoma is a unique cancer due to the body pathway it exploits for energy.

“Normally, you have (adenosine triphosphate) production done by oxidative

ARUP INDRA OSU/OHSU Associate professor phosphorylation. Cancers need a lot of energy; they need to grow fast,” Loesgen said. “Most of the times, the oxidative phosphorylation is highly increased to supply the energy for

cancerous tissue. But in melanoma we see it’s glycemic. So it’s using a different pathway and that makes a difference.”

Glycemic means that the cancer derives its energy from glycolysis, the first step in energy metabolism, Loesgen said.

“So melanoma cancer cells are very different compared to other cancer tissues. I think it’s a big theme and we see many papers coming out where people try to utilize this metabolic weakness or difference,” Loesgen said. “So if we have molecules that could target energy metabolism that could be very selective with less side effects, I think it’s kind of a revolution right now. That way of targeting.”

Associate Professor Arup Indra in the OSU/ OHSU College of Pharmacy has worked on melanoma cancers for over 20 years.

ME L IN DA MYE RS | ORAN GE MED IA NETWORK (ABOVE) Dr. Sandra Loesgen (left) and Elizabeth Kaweesa (right) research the mensacarin compound, which is derived from Streptomyces bottropensis.

(BELOW) A sample of Streptomyces bottropensis sits in a petri dish, which has cancer fighting properties against melanoma and other cancers.

Skin cancer, Continued from page 4 of the fact that squamous cell carcinomas are aggressive but they could be receptive, they could be treated with chemotherapy and surgical removal,” Indra said. “But melanomas, they often metastasize very rapidly.”

The most challenging aspect at this point is obtaining funding to go ahead with preclinical trials, Indra said.

Loesgen said that despite the promising results observed, the chances of reaching a final drug for melanoma treatment are slim.

“It takes years. It takes 15, 20 years from the stage we are at,” Loesgen said. “And the amount of compounds, I think 5-10,000, that are probably in the pool that mensacarcin is in now, one makes it (to a final product). One of 10,000. While we have the best hopes, it might not be this one.”

According to Indra, the preclinical animal models generated in his lab are unique because they contain specific gene mutations in skin cells that are found

in humans. Using an animal model may overall be the most effective way to test anti-cancer efficacy of new drugs including bioactive compounds isolated from different resources.

“Mice are an ideal model where it is manageable, you can do things within a year or two. The diversity or heterogeneity is relatively less and so it’s a good fit model to do things rapidly,” Indra said. “A mouse can resemble human skin in a lot of aspects. It could be more cost effective, more controlled and it could be done in a more effective way.”

Loesgen said testing with animal models is regulated by both the National Institute of Health and the Food and Drug Administration.

“If you look into the guidelines, they’re really, really strict in how

many mice need to go into an assay, the fewest possible are sacrificed in a very detailed way.

This is all very regulated,” Loesgen said.

“And it’s also expensive, that kind of work. So we are looking into initial efficacy and dose texploration, with only few mice per test. And the collaborators on the clinical side, they are very experienced.”

According to Indra, these preclinical studies may consider new angles of approaching melanoma treatment studies.

“These are unique in a sense because we consider the microenvironment effect,” Indra said. “What that means is the cancer and the associated effect of the environment, which is very often ignored for cells in isolation.”

Kaweesa said if a product is not generated, there are still benefits of completing the research process.

“We might not be able to develop mensacarcin as a new drug for melanoma; hopefully we can in our lifetime. Even if we do not, all the assays and protocols we’re developing, all the pathways we’re digging into provides insight on how to develop targeted cancer therapies, therefore contributing to the research world,” Kaweesa said. “And maybe other scientists, or even younger scientists in years to come will use the same techniques and develop them further.”

Furthermore, though research has been focused on melanoma it may be effective in treating other kinds of cancers, according to Loesgen.

“And it seems to be effective in glioblastoma, which is a really aggressive form of brain tumor for which it is really important to have tools,” Loesgen said. “We do not know if it carries over the brain barrier yet, so that’s something we need to study. Mensacarcin’s application in melanoma is one avenue we are exploring, but there might be other cancers, more aggressive ones.”

Nonprofit finds old dogs permanent homes Senior Dog Rescue of Oregon works to foster, save older-aged dogs

By TRISTAN BAILEY Practicum Contributor Over 3.2 million dogs enter shelters in the United States annually, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

For 20 years, the Senior Dog Rescue of Oregon has worked to provide aging dogs with loving homes. Jenny Sullivan has worked with SDRO for over a decade and is now the organization’s Foster and Adoption Coordinator.

“We are a nonprofit, all-volunteer rescue group whose focus is on rehoming older dogs, mostly in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon,” Sullivan said. “We don’t have a shelter; rather, all of our dogs stay in foster homes or in their

original homes until adopted.”

Dogs come to SDRO for a variety of reasons.

Sullivan estimates that well over 1,000 dogs have been rehomed by the group since its creation.

“They come to us in many ways. Sometimes they’re in shelters having been given up by their owners. Sometimes maybe a dog is ill, and the owner just can’t afford to take care of it anymore,” Sullivan said. “Some (dogs) are abused and neglected. They end up being the most loving; they just want to please you.”

Before a dog can be adopted, several things must first occur, said Sullivan. Potential adoptees are required to fill out an application and pay a small fee, after which a home visit is conducted. If approved, the dog can undergo a two-week trial period, during which any veterinary needs are taken care of. After the trial, SDRO does the final paperwork, and the dog has its “forever home.”

Robin Donaldson is a Corvallis resident who has adopted two dogs through SDRO, most recently in February.

FEATURE Senior Dog Rescue of Oregon, Continued from page 6 “The first (adoption) took a couple of weeks,” Donaldson said. “Jenny came out and visited my house to ensure that it was a safe environment for a dog. Afterwards, she was able to connect me with a family that was moving to Connecticut and couldn’t find housing that accepted their animal, so I adopted their 12-and-a-half-year-old dog named Lucy. Jenny really played matchmaker during that process.”

For Donaldson, the decision to adopt a dog was easy.

“I just wanted to give a good life to a sweet, old dog that had lost its home. Also, an older dog may need more attention than a young puppy, and as a retired person I have the luxury of time,” Donaldson said. “I could promise that I could be with the dog and not be going off to work. Given that the dog is older, its energy needs would be a little more in line with mine; I guess I just liked that I could have a slowed-down companion.”

Donaldson said that it was an emotional experience to adopt a dog in its later years, knowing that it may not have much time left.

“It is (emotional). But it’s worth it to me, especially as I age, to provide as many dogs as I can with a wonderful life and a loving home,” Donaldson said. “You just have to kind

Just because a dog is old, doesn’t mean they don’t have healthy good years left. They may not be as quick, but they’re still wanting to please.

JENNY SULLIVAN Senior Dog Rescue of Oregon Foster and Adoption Coordinator fosters are entrusted with their care. Sylvia Chiang is a veterinary medicine graduate student at OSU and has fostered three dogs through SDRO. “I started fostering once I moved out of my parents’ house,” Chiang said in an email.

“There are background checks just as with adoptees, so you fill out a form and they come

inspect your house.”

Chiang said fostering can be a very positive experience for OSU students.

“I would 100 percent recommend (becoming a foster with SDRO) to students who are responsible,” Chiang said in an email. “Student life can be stressful and lonely at times, and these dogs can help you through that.”

SDRO regularly hosts fundraising and adoption events in the Corvallis area, said Sullivan.

“Every first Saturday of the month at Petco we have an event where people can come and meet the dogs,” Sullivan said. “Pet Day is another event we do in May, which is at the same time that (the university does) Mother’s Weekend. It’s at the university, that’s a fun one.”

Sullivan stressed that older dogs are equally as deserving and in need of love and care as young puppies are.

“Just because a dog is old, doesn’t mean they don’t have healthy good years left. They may not be as quick, but they’re still wanting to please,” Sullivan said. “They still want to be loved, and they can be a good friend.”

Sullivan added that if anyone is interested in fostering, they can go to the SDRO website and fill out a foster application. Everything is paid for by SDRO to care for the dog while it is being fostered.

COVER STORY

No. 1 Beavers start season with win Beavers win 3-2 against Hartford University at home Friday

By MUNIR ZAREA Sports Contributor

Oregon State University came home for the first time this season and kicked off a four game series with a 3-2 win against the Hartford University Hawks. This marks the fifteenth straight home opener win for the Beavers.

The game started off slow, with the first three innings having no scores. Things started to pick up when sophomore Tyler Malone hit an RBI single to get sophomore Adley Rutschman the first score in the bottom of the fourth.

But the high-fives didn’t last too long. Hartford answered big in the top of the sixth with a pair of scoring runs to take the lead.

The first of the two came from Hartford junior Chris Sullivan. As fielder’s choice, Sullivan pushed Hartford freshman John Thrasher to home plate to tie the game.

The next score came directly after, with the Beavers allowing sophomore Zachary Ardito to hit a single RBI and pushed senior TJ Ward to home plate.

With the score of 2-1 Hartford, the Beavers needed to bounce back. After a full inning

of no scores, Rutschman stepped up big and hit an important double to score a double RBI, granting OSU the final score of 3-2 to finish the game.

OSU senior pitcher Luke Heimlich pitched 7.2 innings. He put up six strikeouts and allowed six hits with two runs.

Freshman Christian Chamberlain made a brief appearance, allowing a walk from the only batter he faced.

Junior Dylan Pearce made his first appearance of the game in the eighth inning and made his first save of the season to finish the game off strong.

The Beavers played without the 2017 Pac-12 Player of the Year Nick Madrigal, who injured his wrist sliding into home plate in the comeback game against the Ohio State University on Feb. 23 with the final score of 10-8 Beavers. With Madrigal out indefinitely, the Beavers have shined the light on outfielder junior Trevor Larnach.

Larnach has put up a .484 batting average this season as of March 2, making him one of the top in the team.

This game seemed to be a tough one for him, as he went 0-4 on the plate against Hartford. With his early leadership, the Beavers seem to have the momentum to keep moving at a brisk pace.

OSU baseball seems to be at the top of their game so far this season, boasting the impressive 12-game winning streak, and having multiple polls ranking them at and around the top of the list.

Beavers sweep Hartford OSU starts off season undefeated

By EMMANUEL GIOCOCHEA Sports Contributor The Oregon State University baseball team (12-0) struck wins in their Saturday doubleheader and Sunday game against the Hartford Hawks (1-7). The Beavers won their 20th consecutive home game, the longest active streak in the country, entering this Sunday’s 12:05 p.m. series finale.

In their first game, junior outfielder Trevor Larnach got OSU their first pair of runs in the bottom of the first inning with a double to right field that allowed junior infielder Cadyn Grenier and junior outfielder Steven Kwan to score.

In the same inning, sophomore infielder and catcher Adley Rutschman hit a single that allowed Larnach to come home.

Then in the seventh, the Beavers added to their lead thanks to a fielding error on a throw to first that gave Adley Rutschman a chance to score an unearned run.

In the eighth, Grenier tripled to right center, giving Kwan the opportunity to score once again.

Kwan had a big offensive day in general, reaching base three times, getting two hits and a walk. He also stole three bases in the win, on top of his two runs.

Junior Bryce Fehmel allowed just one single hit to Hartford sophomore infielder Zachary Ardito in the fifth inning—on his way to his third win of the season.

“I was honestly feeling like I was behind some of the batters I shouldn’t have been behind, so that made it more difficult,” Fehmel said.

Fehmel finished with four strikeouts and did not issue a walk. He hit a batter in the ninth and faced just two batters over the minimum.

“He’s just really good all the time,” head coach Pat Casey said about Fehmel. “He just constantly comes out and pitches and competes and throws the ball where he wants, and that makes a big difference.”

Fehmel improves to 3-0 on the year with the win.

In their stunning second game of the day, Rutschman drove home two with a double in the seventh inning to send the OSU baseball team to a 5-4 win over Hartford.

“I don’t know if he was trying to go in, but it ended up being middle-in and I was able to turn on it and pull it down the line,” Rutschman said.

The win sent the Beavers to their doubleheader sweep of the Hawks after Fehmel tossed a one-hit shutout in a 5-0 win earlier in the day.

The game-winning double was the second of the weekend for Rutschman, who drove in two from the right side of the batter’s box on Friday.

Rutschman’s double pivot, on a 3-1 pitch, landed to the left of junior outfielder Ashton Bardzell, enabling Grenier and redshirt freshman outfielder Joe Casey to score.

Sophomore pitchers Brandon Eisert and Jake Mulholland threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings, and tossed a perfect ninth, to finish off the Hawks. Eisert improved to 1-0 on the year, while Mulholland picked up his third save.

Larnach doubled home two runs in the first inning, and Kwan tallied two hits and three steals to offensively help even the bases for the Beavers.

Rutschman and Grenier both drove in runs in the win, with the latter’s coming on a triple to the gap in right in the eighth to make it a 5-0 game.

Beavers ended the series with a 5-0 win, scoring four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Larnach’s grand slam sent in runners Rutschman, Grenier and Kwan to put the beavers up 5-0.

Rutschman also scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the fourth inning.

OSU’s next game is Tuesday, March 6, at 5:35 p.m. against University of Portland (5-6) at home and aired on Oregon State Live Stream.

Campus resources provide mental health support Counseling & Psychological Services may have wait times, address emergencies first

By SYDNEY SULLIVAN News Contributor Counseling and Psychological Services is not the only resource available on campus for students seeking support with mental health.

While wait times are possible for most students seeking individual counseling, CAPS works on a triage schedule which prioritizes individuals in higher risk situations, and will always get help immediately for students in an emergency situation, said Ian Kellems, director of CAPS. Kellems said CAPS is the primary mental

health agency on campus. It offers a wide range of services in order to help students figure out what type of support would be most helpful.

“Several years ago CAPS redesigned its services to increase ease of access, so now any student can come to CAPS without an appointment, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and meet with a counselor,” Kellems said in an email.

CAPS is a great place for students to make their initial appointment, said Kellems. From the Mind Spa to group counseling, different kinds of support services are offered which can help students regarding their mental health.

“CAPS is seeing 60 percent more students now than we were just five years ago. Keeping up with this ever-increasing demand is our greatest challenge as an agency,” Kellems said in an email. “It would be tempting to solve this challenge by drastically increasing student fees so that we could hire many more therapists, but we also understand how important it is to minimize the financial burden students experience.”

Kellems said that in an attempt to meet the increased need for students, CAPS is continually looking for innovative, cost-effective ways to help. Offering supports aside from individual therapy which students find helpful, including the mind spa relaxation room, dropin meditation groups, workshops on emotional resilience, more than 20 therapy groups each term and online self-guided resources.

“For those students who need individual therapy, there unfortunately can be a waiting period, depending on the time in the term (later in the term usually means waiting longer), severity of issues (more severe issues are assigned a higher priority), and the student’s scheduling availability (limited availability usually means waiting longer),” Kellems said in an email.

Kellems said CAPS encourages students waiting to use all of the other CAPS supports (e.g., workshops, online resources, dropin groups) as they prepare for participating in individual therapy. Students waiting for an individual therapy appointment are also

encouraged to visit the drop-in clinic if they are in crisis and need immediate support.

Cassady Gilroy, an office manager at Diversity & Cultural Engagement, said that if the doors to the center are open then there is no wait time to come in and ask for support.

“Through our programs, initiatives, workshops, conversations, retreats and especially through our seven Cultural Resource Centers, we are here to welcome individuals and support their journeys in whatever way that means for that individual,” Gilroy said in an email.

Gilroy said an invisible component of anyone’s life is the internal struggles of their identity and the communities they are a part of, and those who do not have help with these struggles can have them affecting school and personal life. Through seven different cultural centers, Diversity & Cultural Engagement strives to help students discover who they

are and identify communities they can be comfortable in, Gilroy added.

“CAPS is an amazing resource for students to have a real one on one interaction with a professional who can help guide them through their feelings,” Gilroy said in an email.

“However, some students may instead need to have that peer-to-peer interaction to feel understood and not alone.”

DCE helps underrepresented identities find places where they specifically fit in, Gilroy said. For example, SOL is a student-fee funded

organization that focuses on Queer and Trans People of Color while providing support through educational programming, student advocacy and ally building among undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and other organizations at Oregon State University. Gilroy said while this level of specificity can be difficult to find on-campus, they are kinds of resources that the DCE is continuously trying to develop.

“In regards to safety, this is both in a physical sense but also an emotional sense,” Gilroy said in an email. “Students that are struggling with identity issues for example, often can find themselves being judged even by the people closest to them. This is a setback to their development and personal level of safety which needs to be addressed. By using our resources, they can be assured that we would listen to whatever they need to say, without judgement and we would further support them in that moment.”

Judy Neighbours, director of the Survivor Advocacy and Resource Center said their office specifically provides confidential support services for students who have experienced gender based violence.

“So we provide initial points of contact when students want to disclose their experience of either sexual assault, dating violence or stalking,” Neighbours said in an email. “We provide crisis intervention, validation and support of their experience, helping connect them to needed additional services due to the impact of the violence; helping them understanding the reporting process and can accompany them if they do decide to report to either law enforcement or the university; and advocate for their needs.”

Kellems said many times students who come to CAPS can be best-served by other offices on campus like SARC and DCE when their challenges are more situational than psychological.

“For those students who would like a referral to an off-campus therapist, CAPS also maintains an up-to-date database of 40 local providers whom we can refer students to,” Kellems said in an email.

SCHEDULING FIRST APPOINTMENT AT CAPS Students who have not been seen at CAPS before can start with a consultation, either in person of via phone. No appointment is necessary; students can come by or call during consultation hours:

9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Stop by the 5th floor of Snell Hall, or call 541-737-2131.

Students who have immediate needs outside of these hours can call a CAPS licensed mental health counselor at 541-7372131. If students have an emergency, call 911 if off campus of 541-737-7000 if on campus.

Nectar Creek facility, tap room produces mead Welcomes guests of all ages

By MICHAEL ANDREW NEWEY Practicum Contributor A pint glass is perched atop a sleek wood counter. Inside sits a golden, sparkling liquid.

It’s mead, but it’s a modern take on one of the world’s oldest drinks.

Nectar Creek’s new facility opened midJanuary. Located in Philomath, it brings new talent, and allows for mead to be made more efficiently to fit demand.

Before the upgrade, Nectar Creek mead was produced in a space of only 429 square feet.

Nectar Creek is co-owned by brothers Nick and Philip Lorenz. According to Nick Lorenz, the staff would have to bottle or can their mead outside in the elements.

The new facility is about a ten-minute drive from Corvallis. It includes a 5,000 square foot indoor production space away from the weather, a 1,500 square foot tap room that welcomes guests of all ages and a 1,200 square foot patio that is dog friendly.

The taproom includes 24 taps, starring their signature session meads and special meads that are taproom-only releases, according to Lorenz.

Because mead is made from fermented honey instead of wheat like beer, their session meads are gluten free. Accompanying guest taps, such as Two Towns Cider and Fall Sky Brewery, are brought from local businesses that have helped Nectar Creek in the past.

According to Cade Hearing, a longtime friend of the owners and a Nectar Creek bartender, Nectar Creek works to show appreciation to those that support them.

“We try to give back to people that have showed us love for years and years,” Hearing said.

Accompanying the brews are dishes by head chef Tony Melton. Dishes include an array of sandwiches, paninis and more. Many of these dishes are made with mead in mind or in their recipes, according to Lorenz.

At the 2015 Mazer Cup International Mead Competition, Nectar Creek’s meads won several awards. Lorenz feels the success and growth of Nectar Creek stems from him and his brother Phillip Lorenz’s passion and early start in fermentation.

The two brothers began brewing at a young age when Phillip got caught drinking beer at the age of sixteen by their mother. She wanted them to know where alcohol came from and how to control it. As a result, the Lorenz brothers began brewing at home.

“A lot of people that were studying fermentation ended up in the beer world,” Lorenz said.

Additionally, Lorenz said that schools do not generally offer fermentation courses geared towards mead, only wine and beer.

We try to give back to people that have showed us love for years and years.

CADE HEARING Nectar Creek bartender

Moving forward, Nick Lorenz plans to further expand and experiment in the mead category.

“We were wanting to make it into a style that turned it into an everyday drink. Something that’s light and refreshing, between 4-8 percent (alcohol by volume), is more like a beer that you can sit down after a day of work or being outside,” Nick Lorenz said.

Nectar Creek plans to continue to release new meads such as a sour blackberry mead, which they have planned for an upcoming release. Also in the works, is an increase in the variety of canned and bottled meads available.

Opinion: Free speech Beta Theta Pi returns to Campus serves a purpose Fraternity recruits members based on five core values

By CARLOS FITTEN Practicum Contributor

Beta Theta Pi has been recruiting new members for its expansion to the Oregon State University community since its closure in the late ‘90s.

Beta Theta Pi’s plan to return to fraternity and sorority life as an expansion with the help of new members and funding could later create a home for Beta members in OSU’s community.

Joshua Fuentes, Beta Theta Pi colony development coordinator, assists Beta in getting funding from alumni and other organizations and works with men of the chapter and advisory team to help them lay a solid foundation for when they are operating by themselves.

“We want to work closely with the university administration, primarily with the CFSL, in order to be sure we are following their rules and guidelines,” Fuentes said. “That way we are setting our men up for success while also showing them how to operate correctly as a fraternity.”

According to the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity website, the fraternity has five core values that all members are expected to uphold; they are mutual assistance, intellectual growth, trust, responsible conduct and integrity. Additionally, the fraternity’s mission is to develop men of principle for a principled life. Since the start of Beta’s award-winning Men of Principle initiative in 1998, they have seen significant improvements in the areas of academics, recruitment, risk management and leadership development.

According to OSU’s Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life webpage, there are 53 different chapters on campus. Students looking to be a part of Beta Theta Pi must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in order to participate in recruitment.

OSU previously had the chapter open until 1998 when they had to close down for financial and cultural reasons. However, Beta Theta Pi still has a record on file. Currently they are recolonizing, meaning students will be starting up a new group on campus.

“We want to be recruiting guys who are

interested in the developmental aspect,” Fuentes said. “We want to make sure we’re recruiting guys who are going to have a positive impact on the community.”

Kyle Daniel, president of the IFC, runs the IFC executive board along with 10 other members elected by each of the chapter presidents at OSU. “It’s very nice to see another large international organization like Beta come back to Oregon State,” Daniel said. “I’m in favor of expansions, I think the more the merrier.

The IFC and OSU have laid out standards for fraternities and sororities to keep up with while they remain open and a part of the community.

“I think it’s really important that we strive for community values from all of our chapters,” Daniel said.

JP Peters is the assistant director of the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life where he serves as an adviser to the IFC, Unified Greek Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters.

“I am excited to welcome Beta Theta Pi back to the OSU community,” Peters said in an email. “Nationally, they are a strong fraternity that focuses on Men of Principle.

And speaking with OSU Alumni who are a part of Beta Theta Pi, I think it would be a great addition to our fraternity community and overall OSU community.”

The IFC shows increasing interest in referring students to fraternities that might be a better suited place for new recruits, according to Daniel. Even if they aren’t a good fit for one fraternity, perhaps a different one might be a better fit.

“Each chapter has its own persona, its own characteristics that make it unique and the more chapters you have the better chance some new member has of having their fit, you know, their niche,” Daniel said.

For students looking to participate in recruitment, contact Josh Fuentes via email at Josh.fuentes@beta.org or by cell phone: (513) 839-3391. He will be in the Student Experience Center plaza or Memorial Union Quad until the end of spring term.

Last Halloween, I tried reasoning with a guy standing outside a lively pub in Cork, Ireland, dressed as Hitler and reveling in attention. It was perhaps naive, but it rapidly became apparent as he stuttered through his answers that his boisterous cries of, “I’m going to exercise my right to free speech!” and, “I don’t want to live in a dictatorship!” were fronts for a desire for attention and to herald a crudely taken up cause for a perceived injustice. Was this a singular incident? Yes. Does it represent the mindset of a whole faction of people? Also yes. Someone saying something that knowingly hurts another person must come from an injustice that only they see.

There is a difference between dictatorships and creating a respectful, equal community.

The wisest mindset is one which attempts to understand others, withholding judgement until another opinion becomes truly harmful and hurtful, then standing firm.

Chase Whitten, a third-year studying mechanical engineering, and president of the OSU College Republicans, thinks that one thing contributing to the tensions surrounding “political correctness” is continuing false accusations of bigotry, mainly by leftists.

“Devaluing another human based on their skin color or heritage is an unjustifiable act and there should be no room for it in America,” Whitten said via email. “My personal issue comes about when people start bringing race into an issue where it shouldn’t be one. Calling someone racist is a serious accusation that should not be taken lightly, and should only be done when there has been a clear act of discrimination that has taken place. When false accusations of racism occur with prevalence, it unfortunately allows real racism to blend in.”

Despite this, Whitten remains optimistic that the majority of Americans are reasonable —a smart belief.

“However, most of the conservatives I know don’t take part in this kind of behavior (throwing around terms such as snowflake and SJW), in the same way that most liberals don’t falsely accuse others,” Whitten said via email. “We have a problem in this country where the most extreme on either side yell the loudest, and then

we assume those who disagree with us are just like them.”

Anela Asovska, a third-year studying education at University of Rostock in Rostock, Germany, favors Germany’s laws, harmonizing free speech and moral responsibility.

“About the Nazi salute and other things related to that: it’s definitely not allowed to show any sign of the former Nazi regime in public (emphasis on public). You can put banners and swastikas all over your house if you like,” Asovska said via email. “No one would care, because this is your private ‘use’ and (again one part of the fundamental rights) is not to be touched by anyone. The actual possession doesn’t make it illegal, but the showing of it in public does.

It’s part of our politic of remembrance that these symbols and salutes are not allowed to be shown in public as they would, again, be against our fundamental and constitutional law. Every Nazi ideology and the distribution of such are against our constitutional law as well.”

While Germans have and use their right to free speech, they also curtail ideologies, speech and symbols representing hate toward a specific group. The First Amendment is a crucial piece of American policy. However, extra laws along the lines of laws preventing hate speech are

Devaluing another human based on their skin color or heritage is an unjustifiable act and there should be no room for it in America.

Chase Whitten President OSU College Republicans steps in the right direction.

“There is a big difference between saying your opinion and invoking or mobilizing for it, therefore threatening other individuals,” Asovska said via email.

America could take a lesson from Germany, on matters such as the Confederate flag controversy. One can argue that the flag represents Southern pride, as one can argue that Nazi symbols represent native German pride.

They represent pride based on a perceived exercising of power, power on a foundation of the control of a specific group. In the case of the Confederate flag, and the Civil War, the South wanted the power to fight a war to continue to have the right to own slaves, according to PBS. Make it uncomfortable to be racist. Fact check before accusing, absolutely, every time, but do not let anyone make excuses for bigotry.

Social and political change go hand in hand.

Make America think again.

Opinion: Digital Age music wipes out records Vinyl fights to stay alive, mixed reviews on digital music

By GENESIS HANSEN Columnist

Could it be true that music no longer possesses the voices of the truly talented, but of the masses? Has the accessibility to music diminished the integrity of the works produced?

The fruitful modern era has delivered opportunity, creativity and accessibility, but some believe that it is threatening the artistic value that music can possess.

Doug DiCarolis has been the proud owner of Happy Trails Records for 33 years. DiCarolis provides music that customers and members of the community are asking about and looking for. A longtime fan of the classics, DiCarolis says he isn’t too fond of the new way music is produced and distributed.

“In my generation you actually had to know how to play drums—which is actually an art, and takes real heart and soul to do it well, whereas I can operate a drum machine and have it sound good, even though I have no talent,” DiCarolis said.

According to DiCarolis, the audio quality of synthesizers and drum machines are a big turn-off to music. He believes that artistic authenticity is becoming endangered.

DiCarolis’ persistence and grit has kept a record store kicking in this digital age of file sharing and music streaming.

“When the digital revolution started and people were downloading and streaming instead of physically buying copies of things, about 80 percent of the record stores went out of business,” DiCarolis said. “Corvallis used to have five record stores, and now we are the only one.”

Daniel Faltesek has been at Oregon State University for six years and is the assistant professor of social media. He teaches introductory classes to media and does computational research on social media.

Faltesek doesn’t believe it’s right to claim that one mode of consumption is better than the other, they are just different.

“It has a lot more imperfections, and there is an interesting philosophical take on the idea of vinyl records that their imperfections make them warm and interesting and original as opposed to other media like CD or MP3, which are a lot flatter,” Faltesek said.

Vinyl may be a historical relic of musical history but listeners today aren’t concerned with the integrity of the sound. They are looking for music that reflects their beliefs and feelings.

“Where finding a place where instead of measuring or evaluating just the people that we thought were a little less risky, we’re starting to see people listen to what they want.

It’s about making the market process more coherent,” Faltesek said.

The faint interest in vinyl records could be related to hipster culture, an affection for nostalgia, or to preserve the musical era they came from.

Dominik Bartmanski is a sociology graduate from the school of Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. He is also a writer for the online journal called Consumption Markets & Culture ran by Taylor & Francis Online.

“Here, vinyl is no exception, and is an excellent example of the hybridization tendencies inherent in how this ‘new, old’ commodity is marketized in the context of the digital era of music consumption,” Bartmanski said.

We need digitized music, because the creative process is remarkable and it’s important for us to distribute what artists need to say.

“If you’re someone who was a teenager in the ‘90s, your music selection was more restricted; there weren’t a lot of options. Whereas now there are a ton of options for a fair price,” Faltesek said.

Sharable files and music streaming services create a wider bridge between the artist and the consumer, allowing musicians to efficiently connect with their audience.

It is important to take note of the history within music, but we shouldn’t let it stop us from building a modern identity.

Women in Leadership club strives to minimize gender gap Club started in College of Business, plans to hold meetings for community

By SYDNEY SULLIVAN News Contributor

LO GA N HOWELL | OR ANG E MEDIA NETWOR K Lily Beck, president of the Women in Leadership Club, based out of the College of Business in Austin Hall.

As of 2015, more than 9.4 million firms are owned by women, employing nearly 7.9 million people, and generating $1.5 trillion in sales. Yet globally, the proportion of senior business roles held by women stands at 24 percent.

Lily Beck, a business student at Oregon State

O R E G O N

University and president of the new Women in Leadership club out of the College of Business, is striving to fix the gap between men and women in the workplace.

“Women can face inequality in many ways in the workplace. It could be anything from a pay gap to not being offered the same opportunities after coming back from maternity leave,” Beck said. “Whatever it may be, there was a market that wasn’t being satisfied as far as what was offered at OSU to help women prepare for facing those inequalities.”

Beck said the main goal of the club is professional development for women. In focusing on this goal, the hope is that it will lead to more women having confidence when going into their professional careers.

“We want there to be a sense of community in the club so that when members graduate, they can come back and look at what the club did for them in the professional world. We also have a goal of ultimately being the largest club on campus,” Beck said.

Hannah Triplett, a second year business management student, is the vice president for Women in Leadership. Triplett has been working with Beck throughout the start of the club with defining goals and creating their mission statement.

“The club has started within the College of Business for a few reasons. Primarily, the initiative of improving gender equality and empowering women in leadership positions started with the Susan J. McGregor Foundation, which supports growth in these areas in the College of Business,” Triplett said in an email.

Women can face inequality in many ways in the workplace... Whatever it may be, there was a market that wasn’t being satisfied as far as what was offered at OSU to help women prepare for facing those inequalities.

LILY BECK President of Women in Leadership Club professionals.”

The organization is planning to hold meetings which support a combination of education and experience by bringing in speakers who interact with their audience, Triplett said. This will make what could be a strict lecture into a more intimate workshop experience. These workshops are intended to foster learning and help build confidence.

U N D E R G R A D U A T E

“With the title of our club being Women in Leadership, it could be easy to assume that this club is strictly catered towards educating women,” Triplett said in an email.

“However, in order to bring equality between genders, it is important for us to educate both males and females.”

The hope is to expand the club by reaching out to other colleges within the university to provide a place for students, staff and faculty to learn about women in leadership and eliminate gender inequality, Triplett said.

Sandy Neubaum, faculty adviser for the Women in Leadership club and director of Student Engagement at OSU, said the broader mission of the club is to advance women in leadership roles across the university and their chosen careers. This is why the club is open to students of all majors.

“I would like our women students to know they can be the architects of their own life’s story,” Neubaum said in an email. “One of my favorite quotes is ‘she designed a life she loved,’ I very much want our members to feel empowered to do just this.”

Beck said Neubaum came to her with the idea of starting the club. From then, the club has come to fruition and those involved hope that it provides a welcoming community.

“Even if they aren’t extremely active members, we want people to feel supported. We hope to create an environment where anyone can come, feel heard, and get resources to strengthen their confidence and develop their skills,” Beck said.

“We will do our best to support each member in every way we can.”
