“There is no financial crisis at PSU,” expert says Dr. Howard Bunsis critically examines 2010 Oregon University System audit Joshua Hunt Vanguard staff

Portland State University is overestimating expenses, underestimating revenue and overpaying administrators says a financial expert after analyzing the 2010 Oregon University System audit.

Dr. Howard Bunsis, a professor of accounting at Eastern Michigan University, presented a financial audit of Portland State and the OUS on Friday, May 20, in the Academic and Student Recreation Center.

The presentation, organized by PSU’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, offered the 2010 OUS financial audit as the best evidence that academic cuts at PSU are unnecessary.

“Both the OUS and PSU are in solid financial condition,” Dr. Bunsis said. “That may surprise you, but that claim is really incontrovertible.”

The audit was performed by KPMG, one of the four largest global financial auditing services.

Bunsis stressed the importance of audits in assessing the financial health of an institution.

“Budgets are plans of what may occur,” Bunsis said. “Audited financial statements report what actually occurred.”

ADAM WICKHAM/VANGUARD STAFF

Finances: After interpreting the 2010 OUS audit, Dr. Howard Bunsis argues that budget cuts at PSU are unneccessary.

According to the audit, PSU reported a profit of $30 million in 2010, leaving it with reserves in excess of $60 million. This $60 million in unrestricted assets was reported just one year after the PSU-AAUP agreed to voluntary pay cuts for PSU faculty.

According to OUS figures, PSU reported profits of 7.2 percent in 2007, 6.3 percent in 2008, 5.3 percent in 2009 and 7.1 percent in 2010.

“The profit margin for PSU in 2010 was 7.1 percent,” Bunsis said. “Wal-Mart doesn’t make that much, but in 2010, PSU did. Congratulations. This is evidence that the 2009 furlough was unnecessary. It’s also evidence that cuts to academic programs are not necessary at PSU, and that the administration is straying AUDIT ON PAGE 3

Katrina Petrovich Vanguard Staff

ASPSU has collected student testimonies that document the ways in which Portland State students believe the proposed 9.2 percent tuition increase will affect them. ASPSU plans to take the testimonies to Salem when it lobbies the Oregon State Legislature for increased funding for higher education.

According to ASPSU Communications Director Brandon Harris, the student testimonies were collected because ASPSU wanted to include students in the policy process that governs their education. He said that the ASPSU-gathered testimonies will be presented to the Legislature during public hearings, as evidence for the need to continue funding for higher education.

According to Harris, ASPSU provided three methods for student input and testimony submission: paper forms, online statements and even a Facebook “question,” but little interest

Portland’s religious leaders share an evening of interfaith dialogue at PSU Erick Bengel Vanguard staff

A rabbi, a reverend and a Muslim brother met on Thursday, May 19, before a modest but attentive nondenominational audience in Portland State’s Urban Center to engage in a crosscultural interfaith dialogue.

Architecture department receives $485,000 grant to build sustainable orphanages in Haiti Solomon Hanson Vanguard staff

The Portland State Department of Architecture recently learned that it will receive part of a Partner University Fund $485,000 grant, which will fund collaborative efforts between PSU and Ecole Speciale d’Architecture de Paris in designing and building sustainable orphanages in Haiti.

Sergio Palleroni, associate professor of architecture at PSU, feels that the nature of the grant itself is significant.

“It’s not so much the amount,” Palleroni said, “but usually it is received by [Ivy League schools], by Harvard.”

Palleroni believes that continued recognition and opportunities such as this will allow PSU to be a world leader in the field of sustainable projects.

PORTLAND (AP)—A transient was seriously burned when his sleeping bag caught fire in a campfire under a bridge in Portland.

Battalion Chief Merrill Gontermann says the man in his 50s was taken to Legacy Emmanuel Medical Center with burns over a significant portion of his body.

The Oregonian reports the fire was spotted Sunday evening by a driver on the Portland Highway who noticed something on fire and moving at the 42nd Street overpass. He stopped, extinguished the fire and called for help.

Ranchers cheered by lifting of wolf protections MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—Ranchers in Western states said they’re hopeful the removal of gray wolves from the federal endangered species list will make it easier to hunt the predators and stem losses of cattle and sheep.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service earlier this month formally lifted federal protections for more than 1,300 wolves in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Utah. That will allow hunting of the carnivores that ranchers say have taken a steady toll on their livestock over the past two decades.

Tex Marchessault, a cattle rancher near Dillon, Mont., said he’s lost several young cattle over the years, and other livestock have been injured in attacks. Government trappers killed a six-wolf pack on his

land a few years ago, but another pack soon took its place, he said.

Updates with 20 riding out tornado in convenience store cooler JOPLIN, Mo. (AP)—A massive tornado that tore a 6-mile path across southwestern Missouri killed at least 89 people as it slammed into the city of Joplin, ripping into a hospital, crushing cars like soda cans and leaving a forest of splintered tree trunks behind where entire neighborhoods once stood.

Authorities warned that the death toll could climb as search and rescue workers continued their efforts. Their task was made more miserable as a new thunderstorm with strong winds and heavy rain pelted part of the city with quartersized hail.

City manager Mark Rohr announced the number of known dead at a pre-dawn news conference outside the wreckage of a hospital that took a direct hit from Sunday’s storm. Rohr said the twister cut a path nearly 6 miles long and more than a halfmile wide through the center of town. Much of the city’s south side was leveled, with churches, schools, businesses and homes reduced to ruins by winds of up to 165 mph.

Buildings, Bunsis said, represent not only the majority of PSU’s financial assets, but also may be part of the reason that university administrators are hesitant to spend some of their cash reserves.

“If all revenue ceased today,” Bunsis said, “PSU could continue to operate for two entire months. That’s pretty good for a rainy day fund. Why have these cash reserves and not use them? These cash reserves could prevent the need for academic cuts.”

Bunsis added that while PSU has seen a large increase in tuition over the past several years, it

has also seen cuts to instruction and academic programs.

“There has been a shift from instruction to administration, and at the same time, students are paying more and more tuition,” he said.

The PSU-AAUP is currently engaged in collective bargaining with university administrators, negotiating the terms of the contract for the coming biennium.

“This analysis really shows very plainly what is happening here at PSU,” said Mary King, vice president of collective bargaining for PSU-AAUP and an economics professor at PSU. “With Howard’s credentials, I don’t think anyone can argue with this analysis.” ■

Bunsis, who is also secretary treasurer of the national AAUP, said that Oregon’s disinvestment in higher education does not necessitate the kind of drastic cuts that are being proposed by PSU administrators.

“PSU has a wide variety of revenue sources,” Bunsis said. “$30 million of federal stimulus money is gone for the 2011–13 biennium; however, that decline is not debilitating. The OUS has many other revenue sources, they don’t rely heavily on this support.”

A key talking point in the presentation of the 2010 OUS audit was the matter of unrestricted asset reserves, which were in excess of $60 million at the end of the 2010 fiscal year.

These represent liquid, unrestricted assets, and

Palleroni explained that the application for the grant grew out of such a collaborative effort with Marie Aquilino of Paris, who contributed to the writing of “Beyond Shelter,” a book approaching the subject of architecture and human dignity.

Professor Evan Thomas of PSU’s engineering department and director of SWEET LAB (Sustainable Water, Energy and Environmental Technologies) said that the scope of the project in Haiti was noteworthy as well.

PSU has since issued a statement responding to the presentation, part of which stated: “This is not an objective analysis. What is clear is that the Oregon Legislature has not yet determined the extent of cuts in store for Oregon’s public universities in 2011–13, nor has the State Board of Higher Education set tuition rates for fall 2011. Those amounts are critical to determine Portland State’s budget for next year. Once those amounts are announced in the coming weeks, both the university and AAUP bargaining teams will have the kind of information necessary to move forward with negotiations and reach an equitable contract.”

A State Department statement called the visit by Jeffrey Feltman, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, “another signal of the U.S.’s support” for the rebels’ National Transitional Council, which it called “a legitimate and credible interlocutor for the Libyan people.”

Obama leaving Ireland early as ash cloud looms DUBLIN (AP)—The White House says President Barack Obama will leave Ireland early due to safety concerns over a cloud of ash from an Icelandic volcano that is moving toward Europe.

Officials say Obama’s schedule in London, where he will spend two days, has not been affected at this point.

struction of the orphanages outside Port-au-Prince. The orphanages themselves will be unique in that they will be both sustainable and also serve as schools with a focus on teaching local trades, according to Palleroni.

The project will ultimately include an education exchange, sending PSU students to France and hosting French students here at PSU. Palleroni was frank in his appraisal of student motives for involvement in the project.

“There’s a growing interest among the students to change the world,” he said.

Commenting on the role of the project’s participants, Palleroni said, “We’re essentially activists that believe that architects and engineers should serve the public good.”

While both Palleroni and Thomas do currently have projects in Haiti, Thomas explained that they are currently only in the initial project design phase for work on the orphanages.

Both Palleroni and Thomas said that the grant will help the project become an “umbrella” effort, serving to unify a number of projects already in progress. ■

was generated. He estimated that ASPSU only received about 40 responses.

Harris said that the majority of the testimonies were negative. Common themes among student responses included having to take out more student loans, or taking fewer credits in order to lower academic costs. Many students also admitted that a longer path to graduation would be inevitable due to the tuition increase.

Monty Herron, a PSU sophomore, was quite vocal about the financial hardship the increase would mean for him. In his testimony, Herron offered his own alternative solution to the budget gap.

“Maybe we could offset some of [the tuition increase] by NOT pouring so much into an athletic program for less than 300 students out of 30,000,” he wrote.

PSU junior and ASPSU University Affairs Director Laken Harrel’s testimony said that the tuition increase would limit opportunities for many prospective students wanting to attend

PSU, and lead to a less diverse campus. However, she also wrote, “This increase is one of the only ways to keep many places on campus from [experiencing] a huge decrease in funding.”

While Harrel’s response seems to indicate some understanding that the tuition increase is mostly beyond PSU’s control, Harris said that this is not the case with most students. In his experience, the majority of PSU students are not familiar with the complicated budget and legislative system that dictates tuition increases.

“President Wiewel is doing the best that he can for students,” Harris said. “This is [an issue] at the state level.”

PSU President Wiewel proposed the 9.2 percent increase for in-state undergraduate students and 6 percent for graduate students to the State Board of Higher Education at the recommendation of the tuition advisory committee. The tuition increase is an attempt to make up the estimated $23.7 million funding gap PSU faces.

The board, which is housed in the Legislature, will vote on the proposed tuition increase on June 3. The Oregon University System will adopt accepted budget allocations for the 2011–12 academic year next September.

Harrell, in her testimony, summed up the reality of the tuition increase.

“I think that this increase is probably the least dreadful option in either direction of the funding and tuition spectrum,” she wrote. ■

Promoting diversity: Portland poet Turiya Autry will perform at tomorrow’s festival.

PSU has hosted the Roots Festival since 2006 when multicultural campus groups proposed the event as a way to combat stereotypes and further discussions about diversity. The program was fully student run until 2009, when the Multicultural Center was put in charge of its organization.

Previous festival themes have included “Diversity in Education” in 2006, “Diversity in Communication” in 2007 and “Diversity in Politics and Activism” in 2008.

This year, Multicultural Center graduate assistant Diego Hernandez created a student organizing committee for the event during winter term. Eleven students participated on this committee, according to Hernandez.

The 2009 and 2010 Roots Festivals were simpler than those in the past, according to Hernandez.

“It was not as engaging as past festivals, and it was not really connecting to the origin and purpose of the original event,” he said.

In an effort to organize a festival that was closer to the Roots Festival’s original vision, Hernandez met with Student Activities and Leadership Programs adviser Tana Atchley this past fall. Atchley had helped students organize the festivals from 2006 to 2008.

“She filled me in with the history and stored documents of the past events,” Hernandez said.

“From there I learned the original vision for the event, and I wanted to bring it back to that.”

The theme for this year’s festival is “A Peoples Movement, Fighting for Democracy and Freedom.” The theme was inspired by recent democratic movements in the Middle East and was chosen to recognize the importance of appreciating democracy and freedom.

“Though we come from different backgrounds, ideologies, cultures and communities we can unite under the same believe that freedom is a universal right,” Hernandez said.

This year’s festival will showcase eight performers, including Portland poet Turiya Autry, who has also performed at the Roots Festival in previous years. Autry will be performing both old and new work, including poems from her recent chapbook, “Love is Also a Four Letter Word.”

“In regards to my art and writing, a lot of my work speaks to the intersections of identity, which shape my life and worldview,” Autry said.

Also performing will be Mark Gonzales, who has appeared on HBO’s “Def Poetry,” Fox News, “Mun2” and National Public Radio.

“He is an educator, spoken word artist, poet and is known for his work on human rights and especially bringing awareness towards Palestine and Gaza,” Hernandez said.

The Education Activities Speakers Board is helping to fund this performance, which begins at 4 p.m., according to Hernandez.

Other artists appearing at this year’s festival include DJ Andy, Los Amigos de la Sierra, Speaker Minds, Blacque Butterfly, Kalo Roots and Ava Cantos.

Students will also be performing from 2 to 3 p.m. Student performances include PSU Tango, Alejandro Lucano, Yacoub, Christopher Ramos, Daniela Garza and Efrin, Valery and Corrine and Christopher Lee. The Roots Festival will last from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The schedule for this year’s Roots Festival is available on Facebook and the Multicultural Center website. ■

Sea lion massacre

This bud is for you… if you’re sick What medical marijuana clubs are really about When someone hears “Marijuana Cafē,” quite a few notions and stereotypes often pop into their heads—perhaps a thought of stoners sitting around smoking or munching on their strain of choice.

Living in Portland with a number of such cafes, it is not uncommon to hear sentiments that clientele of these clubs kat audick are taking advantage of the legal system—that somehow these clubs are just a loophole providing ample excuse for potheads to get high as a kite.

Not so much.

It’s no secret that getting your hands on a medical marijuana card isn’t rocket science. If you can fake having insomnia, migraines, back pain or other similar, difficult-to-prove ailments, you can land yourself a card in a matter of days.

It’s just that simple, if you’re willing to be put down as a registered card carrier.

It is this misuse of obtaining a medical marijuana cards that can rub people the wrong way, and unfortunately this notion carries over when it comes to the cafes. It’s doubtful that the public would have half as much of an issue

if all the visitors were people medicating only serious ailments.

While some user’s reasons may seem less legitimate than others, all card carriers seem to receive the same amount of scrutiny. Authorities are quick to place heavy-handed judgment when it comes to the legality of such marijuana cafes and clubs. There is a huge question of necessity for such facilities when legal smokers can partake in the privacy of their own homes.

Perhaps a closer look at such facilities would put their minds more at ease. These clubs have been set in place so that individuals suffering from various ailments can have a place to go, free of judgment, to share a supportive atmosphere.

Portland professional comedian Tristian Spillman has performed at such clubs.

“It’s not a pot party. It’s people who are on medical marijuana,” Spillman said. “If you want to go to a pot party here in Portland, I bet if you try really hard I’m sure you can find one. But this is something else.”

Most attendees are people dealing with or trying to overcome serious medical afflictions. From chemotherapy patients to people diagnosed with AIDS, patients seek refuge in these clubs where they can enjoy the social environment while medicating among others who share their experience. It’s unfair to label such settings as solely hippie pothead hangouts when they provide

such a comfortable setting for people who can really benefit from it.

With most prescriptions, patients can take it, and move on with their day. This is not the case with medical marijuana. It is difficult to find other medications that suffer from such scrutiny, caution or the necessity to create communities in order to feel secure to merely take a dose.

“Everyone there feels a sense of proprietorship. It’s someplace they can go to feel real safe,” Spillman said. “From my experience, I saw a lot of comedians come in there and want to tell Cheech and Chong jokes and basically be stoners, but [the audience] didn’t appreciate that.

They just wanted regular jokes.”

Many of these clubs have the full support of their community, as contributors from Portland donate plants, buds and baked goods from local establishments.

All in all there really isn’t a massive difference between these clubs and conventional bars, except that bars serving alcohol are already socially accepted. If bars are allowed to serve anyone over 21, no matter what their personal reasons to imbibe are, marijuana bars should be able to serve their customers who have a medically legitimate reason to smoke.

If anything, the latter have even more reasons to remain in operation.

“These aren’t stoners. These are cancer patients with medical needs. People with fused spines.

They want to have a place where they can feel safe, use their medication and hang out someplace where people won’t judge them.” Spillman said.

Marijuana cafes have experienced an ease in legal concerns ever since President Barack Obama decided to soften the federal stance on medical marijuana in 2009. They create a sanctuary for people who would otherwise be confined to medicating in the rooms of their own house. It’s likely as time goes on Portland will see more medical marijuana joints popping up all around town—no pun intended, of course. ■

Last week the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ruled for the second year in a row that sea lions could be removed from the Columbia River and killed. The sea lions are perceived as a threat to already dwindled salmon populations, which carry out a spring run this time of year. But is this an accurate perspective?

Are sea lions truly such a threat?

NOAA authorized that states could kill up to 85 sea lions per year, if they are determined to have been eating salmon. This policy has resulted in 27 sea lions deaths since 2008, 14 of them last year. However, salmon deaths caused by sea lions are estimated by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to be between 0.2 and 4.5 percent.

Officials claim that they will commit their best efforts to the half-hearted attempt at trapping and relocating sea lions to zoos, though very few facilities have made a commitment to accept the sea lions in the previous years, and trapping is very difficult. Likely, the animals will be shot and killed if caught eating salmon and not trapped.

Sea lions have hunted salmon along the Columbia River for thousands of years. Claims are made that this is now problematic for the salmon population because the Bonneville Dam creates a bottleneck effect with its fish ladders, created to offset the blocking of salmon migration from the dam.

This bottleneck effect makes the Bonneville Dam a prime hunting site for the sea lion, something that fisherman amongst others have observed, thus making the sea lion a target for competition over salmon.

When you put the words “for” and “profit” in front of “education,” the word “exploitation” surely follows. The more I read about forprofit colleges, the more this proverb proves itself true.

Today, for-profit higher education is a $23 billion industry, dominated by powerhouses like Apollo Group, ITT Technical Institute and DeVry University.

The implementation of for-profit schools in the American higher education system takes an already scandalous system and turns it into an all out racket — a racket that preys on firstgeneration college students, minorities and taxpayers alike.

Leave me a loan Many have decried this as degrading to women; others have suggested that this affords women an unequal status in Hasidic Judaism.

But it doesn’t. The removal of any images of women in the paper is merely their policy. As an orthodox religious paper, Der Tzitung does what it can to follow its own set of laws and doctrine. The removal of these women is essentially a technologically advanced version of censor bars.

Censorship is a relative term, and can become a tricky subject, especially in the world of journalism. People react strongly to obvious censorship, citing dystopian dramas and conspiracy theories whenever the word even comes up. However, censorship is more than just the choosing, or denying, what information to share. Censorship can also be any act which ensures that content is consistent with a publication’s values or policies.

In the case of Der Tzitung, censorship was by removing content that goes against their religious policies. For the New York Times, it might be an image of a woman’s breasts or a photo of a brain-dead accident victim. A high school paper might censor a photo of a teacher doing a keg stand. And for an orthodox Hasidic publication, this might be a photo of a woman.

This paper has been removing women from its photos for years; it has only been brought to attention now because it is such an iconic image and because one of the women in question is particularly famous. The readers of the paper clearly have little to no problem with the policy; if they did, it is doubtful that they would continue to read it. The paper does not need to apologize for following its policy as strictly as it follows its doctrine.

The problem lies with those who want to make the removal into something more than it really is. It is not a dismissal of Clinton and To-

Should we just accept that humans have the right to these salmon, regardless of their status as soon-to-be-endangered species, even though we have countless other food sources? We have the rationality to make that choice, while the sea lions do not.

Historically dams have been responsible for an estimated 70 to 95 percent of the human-ind uced deaths to downstream migrating salmon, and 40 percent of upstream migrating salmon. This is a result of a multitude of interwoven environmental reasons, including blocking and flooding their habitats, killing fish as they run through turbines, inadequate water pump screens which

can suck up and kill tens of thousands of fish and many others.

If we are really serious about saving salmon populations, lets stop punishing the sea lions for just being sea lions. Action needs to be taken to remodel our dams to be salmon safe, a project that will come at little cost to our electric bills (an estimated maximum of $18 a year.) and at great gain to the salmon and other river inhabitants of the Columbia River.

In the meantime we should allow our moral compass to guide us not only in how we react to the sea lion massacre, but also when we decide what goes on our dinner plate. ■

For-profit education exploits taxpayers, underprivileged

Uproar over removing women from photo is an overreaction

This is, however, entirely dishonest since before the building of the dam, Celilo Falls, farther along the river, created the same effect, drawing hoards of sea lions to its all-you-can-catch salmon buffet.

Myths and legends aside there are three real controllable culprits to blame when it comes to low salmon populations: Over fishing, the damn dams and ineffective habitat protection and renewal.

It is ironic that while a potential 4.5 percent threat to salmon population by the sea lions is enough to warrant the death penalty, it is completely legally sanctioned and supported that three times that number of salmon, over 10,000, be killed by the commercial fishing industry.

GUEST OPINION

Photographic freedom Hasidic Jewish newspaper Der Tzitung has recently gotten itself into some controversy regarding a photo they published in relation to the death of Osama Bin Laden. The problem wasn’t so much over what was in the photo, rather what wasn’t.

The now famous “Situation Room” photo was missing two people: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Director for Counterterrorism, Audrey Tomason, the only women in the photo.

Since the modification came to light, much of the world has voiced its disbelief, and some have protested the action. People condemned the removal as an attempt to “change history” or to dismiss the efforts of the women involved.

Despite the paper issuing janieve schnabel an apology for altering the photo against its terms of release, some feel the apology was not good enough, and that reparations must be made against this grave injustice.

However, why is writing two women out of a photo such a grave injustice?

It was not merely Clinton and Tomason who were not in the paper. Der Tzitung, like most orthodox Hasidic papers, does not show any images of women in its publication, regardless of significance. It is their attempt to comply with an unspoken set of “modesty laws,” which essentially forbid the publication of anything that may inspire illicit or improper thoughts.

It is important to note that Der Tzitung is not the only orthodox paper to remove Clinton and Tomason from its pages. De Voce and other similar papers have also done the same.

mason’s roles in the government. It is simply a modification of a photo.

Photos are edited for release in most publications, whether to “improve” a person’s looks or to clarify the photo. People are routinely added to or removed from photos. Time magazine recently modified a photo so that President Barack Obama looked to be sharing a joke with Ronald Reagan, with a note that it had of course been edited, it was used as the cover of the issue.

Although the policy of removing women from photos may be difficult to understand for those unaccustomed to it, it is no different than airbrushing out varicose veins or removing a makeup artist from a picture.

Don’t get so wound up about it. You wouldn’t expect to see an orgy on the cover of your daily newspaper; don’t expect an orthodox publication to go against its readers’ expectations either. ■

Just how are these schools so profitable when public colleges and students are both facing serious financial crises?

Student loan default rates are skyrocketing, public universities are scrambling to find funding from financially distraught economies, and yet, Apollo Group, the nations largest for-profit college, racked up $4.5 billion in revenue last fiscal year. What’s going on here?

When for-profit colleges recruit, they don’t look for the “best and brightest,” the most financially stable, or the most capable of making good decisions.

They look for the poor, the undereducated, the first-generation student, the minority, the war veteran or anyone else who is capable of getting big financial aid handouts.

According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, while only 25 percent of college stu-

dents across the nation come from households that have annual incomes below $22,000, 46 percent of for-profit college students come from households with incomes below $22,000.

Students at this income level have the highest access to Pell Grants and student loans, which make up 88 percent of University of Phoenix’s revenue.

These for-profit behemoths are hugely profitable because, well, tax payers fund them.

Aiding the underprivileged?

Though it could sound as though these schools are giving underprivileged students a shot at a higher education who otherwise wouldn’t be able to (if this were true, I’d be all for for-profit schools), the graduation rates for students that attend for-profit colleges is a measly 22 percent.

That means 78 percent of students attending for-profit colleges are at a high risk of perpetuating their poverty via student loan debt without a degree or a job to work it off.

Nice.

Doom by default According to those who graduate from forprofit colleges, they have a median debt of $31,190, which is much more than the average median of $17,040 at private, nonprofit institutions and $7,960 at public colleges.

For-profit colleges have no interest in caring about students’ ability to payback a loan because they’ve already received their funds from the government.

Forty-six percent of all money loaned to students at two- and four-year for-profit colleges in 2008 eventually went into default.

In fact, for-profit college students make up just 11 percent of the student population, but

account for 26 percent of student loans and 44 percent of federal student loan defaults.

Who’s being oppressed by these schools?

Minorities, taxpayers, veterans and pretty much every underrepresented population.

Forty-six percent of students at for-profit schools are black or Latino.

Sixty-nine percent of the students at forprofit schools are women.

Taxpayers make up most of their funding — everyone has something to lose to these schools.

A grand scam For-profit schools are sharks lurking in academic waters, preying on taxpayers and underpriviledged students. They don’t care about their students’ well-being, society’s well-being or anything that strays too far from their ultimate goal of racking in government money.

When a college spends more money on advertising than it does on the actual implementation of its education, you should know something is wrong. ■ *This article was originally published in the Daily Emerald. It is reprinted here in its original form.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Progress and clarification Thanks for the attention to our Exito! initiative in your May 17 front-page article [“Students seek results from Exito program,” May17]. Let me clarify a few misconceptions expressed by some of the students quoted in the article.

La Casa Latina, the cultural and support center for Latino and Latina students, opens June 8 in Smith Memorial Student Union. It has taken time to commission and complete the student artwork that will be prominently featured in the center. In the meantime, PSU has moved forward with $150,000 in Equal Access Scholarships, and the nonprofit PSU Foundation also is raising private money for more scholarships. We are awarding $100,000 annually to academic departments to help hire diverse faculty members.

Admissions has hired a new bilingual counselor, produced Spanish-language brochures, sponsors bilingual college nights and conducts bilingual family and student orientation sessions. The Bridges program also helps Latino and first-generation and ethnically diverse students transition to college. Other programs include Gaining Awareness and Networking for Academic Success (GANAS) and a year-long series of social and cultural events, outreach and support activities for students and their families.

These are just some of increasing efforts to expand opportunities not only for Latinos but all underrepresented groups at Portland State.

Exito means success in Spanish, and the benefits that come from the success of these students will be shared by everyone at the university and across Oregon.

Witness to the trial I went to part of Adam’s trial and the police lied. It was clear. That is why the jury only convicted him of resisting arrest. Which begs the question—arrest for what? I personally like him better for fighting back when he was assaulted, which is what it feels like when a cop grabs you and throws you down.

The cop who arrested him said that he was being belligerent (or something to that effect) when he was being processed. There was a video of that, and it turns out she was lying. It was clearly shown in the video that he was being cooperative while being processed. I just think resisting arrest is a cop-made-up offense, when a person is innocent of other charges and that is the only one that sticks.

You think someone elected student body president would know that an acquittal doesn’t mean [“Summer misdemeanors cloud spring election,” May 18]. Instead, it means the state failed to meet its burden of proof. What a joke.

Disturbing I think most people could care less about the arrest [“Prior arrest surfaces for ASPSU president-elect,” May 20]. What disturbs me most about this article is the terrible writing. If the Vanguard was any good at what they do, they would have found out about this report when it actually happened, not 8-9 months later. I guess that’s what happens when a bunch of college kids think they are good at what they do.

I’ve had a serious issue, this year, that forced me to “deal” with the administrative bureaucracy [“Collective bargaining underway at PSU,” May 13]. Long story short, it took nearly two months and meetings/emails with nine individuals until my problem was taken serious. What do the administrators do that legitimizes their bloated paychecks? I am completely against the private market BUT in so many ways the private market would have quickly handled my problem. In the private sector (which I still hate, very much) my problem would have been, either, fired or investigated IMMEDIATELY. In the realm of the PSU administration: Say something will get done, while doing nothing. Instead of taking a proactive approach the administrators nodded, smiled, and tried to convince me that something would be done. The outcome: Nothing, absolutely nothing (which is, likely, still the case as I was told that I’m not allowed to know their outcome!). The administration reminds me of a group of teenagers working over the summer: They do as little as possible, live as high as possible, and try to impress each other with their appeal (in this case materialistically; I’m sure they have plenty of water-cooler conversations pertaining to their conspicuous consumption and bourgeois acquisitions). Cut the administration IN HALF, open more positions for professorships, hire more TAs, and pay faculty more!

officer, according to the police report. A jury acquitted him of all charges except for one count of resisting arrest.

The incident occurred while Rahmlow was serving as a member of the Student Senate.

“The judicial system has its flaws, but justice was served that day,” Rahmlow said at the press conference.

Although Rahmlow had previously told the Vanguard that he would publicly display the documents pertaining to his arrest and trial at the press conference, no such documents were produced.

Reflecting on the responsibilities of elected office, Rahmlow acknowledged that because his new role as ASPSU president is a public position, a leadership position and a representative position, information about his criminal record warrants a public discussion.

“I live today in a glass bowl, and rightly so,” he said. “I represent 26,000 students…and I feel very endowed and very humbled to be in that position.”

Rahmlow expressed that he cares a great deal about the university and its students, and that as a public servant he knows he will be held to a much higher standard of behavior, a responsibility he said he’s “eager to meet.”

Although the incident is “in the past,” Rahmlow said that he’s continuing to face the aftermath. He’s dealt with the incident personally, and now he must deal with it professionally.

“The mistakes that night have taught me a great deal,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot about myself, a lot about life, a lot about school, a ton of different lessons that have changed me, that have changed my personal character, my understand-

ing of a variety of things.”

According to Rahmlow, he’s now in a position where he has to earn back his reputation and his trust not only from close friends and family members, but also from the students of Portland State.

“That’s how all public servants should be gauged,” he said. “We should have to earn the public’s trust.”

“I can only hope to be judged on my actions in office, what I accomplish, how I work, how I do my job…I hope that people feel the same way, and if they do, trust will be restored.”

ADAM RAHMLOW

When asked if he would have held a press conference on the subject of his arrest if the Vanguard hadn’t published its Friday article, Rahmlow said, “Perhaps not right now.”

He added, however, that he was pleased to have the opportunity to give full disclosure.

“I’m glad that the article came out,” he said.

Rahmlow said that his rap sheet was not fully known among ASPSU members or his opponents in the presidential race, though he reiterated that certain individuals in both camps knew of it.

FAITH FROM PAGE 1

Religious leaders discussed how hard it is for different cultures to coexist peacefully in a post-9/11 world The evening’s three-member guest panel featured Rabbi Daniel Isaak, senior rabbi at Congregation Neveh Shalom in Southwest Portland; Reverend Henry Greenidge, founder of the multi-ethnic Irvington Covenant Church; and Brother Shahriar Ahmed, president of the Bilal Mosque Association of Oregon.

Isaak called the event an opportunity for “cross-pollination” among the three major Abrahamic faith traditions. It focused on how individuals and groups in a post-9/11 world can peaceably coexist and learn to understand each other in a global milieu of many different languages, cultures, races and religions.

According to the panel, humanity must outgrow its tendency to fear the unfamiliar and instead look for entry points of empathy in the lives and experiences of those whom we tend to believe have nothing in common with us.

“Xenophobia is a product of a lack of familiarization,” Isaak said. “It’s a very dangerous fear that we have of the ‘other.’”

He explained that the relatively new openness to gay marriage in the United States, for example, is simply the result of discovering that many of us personally know gay people with hopes and dreams like the rest of us, and who want to enjoy their lives just like anyone else.

“There is so much disinformation out there, and part of it stems from a lack of relationships,” Greenidge said.

Greenidge recalled being taught to fear Catholics and the devotees of other religions during his Evangelical upbringing. However, he has since arrived at the conclusion that such apparent differences serve as “foundational distractions” in the modern age and prevent us from learning to identify with others.

We can overcome these distractions, he said, by building relationships with those whom we are prejudiced to hate or to fear.

“Faith is lost from amongst us. Society has decoupled from faith. We believe we can do everything, but we cannot,” Ahmed said, attributing this absence of faith to the degeneration of family values in the U.S.

However, “true faith cannot be brought back with fire and brimstone,” he added.

The men took turns relating their experiences as members of religious communities and how their faith has sometimes put them at right angles to their culture.

Isaak blames sensational journalism and the media at large for helping to foment the divisions among ethnic and religious groups in America.

“The most outrageous spokesmen for religion, for race, the ones who have the most violent or intolerant positions, are the ones who get the microphone,” he said, “which leads to a radicalization of our entire society.”

Stories reflecting harmony between religions don’t earn as much copy space or media attention as “a lunatic minister who wants to burn the Koran,” Isaak said. He believes it is up to the public to condemn such radical leaders and their fringe positions.

Despite the proliferation of social media and the “shrinking” of the globalized world, Greenidge believes that “we are probably—especially in America—lonelier than ever.”

“We’re finding more and more ways to put up more barriers, to separate ourselves,” he said.

“What we need, in my view, is to find ways to connect and to listen to our narratives so that we can actually talk to each other.”

Ahmed echoed this view.

“We have to learn to talk at a very gut level, at a very human level,” Ahmed said. “We must learn to interact in the face of tensions.”

According to Isaak, America is a “very strange experiment” in coping with diversity on a large scale. People need exposure to cultural diversity, he said, because it can become dangerous when one group gets to “set the tone” for their entire culture. The more diverse our population, the more experienced we become at understanding others.

“It doesn’t matter what we look like, or what people profess in terms of their relationship with God; down deep we’re all the same,” he said. ■

Masters of arts Portland art students ready to show off Kynna Groff Vanguard staff

Everyone likes to feel that their work is appreciated. Whether praise comes in the form of a comment made, or just a show of support, there’s no denying the positive effect it can have on a person. In the next couple of weeks, the inaugural graduates of the Master of Fine Arts Applied Craft and Design Program will be exhibiting the projects they completed for their practicum portion of their degrees. It’s the perfect opportunity to take a few moments to appreciate the fine work done by budding local artists and designers.

The exhibit is entitled “Make Way” and will run from every day from noon to 6 p.m., May 23 through June 17. It’s the culmination of two years of design and artistry work by the graduates. The projects by the 13 students will be on display in the Galleria Building at the corner of Southwest 10th and Morrison. The focus of practicum students is to explore the convergence of the practices of art, craft and design.

One student who’s gotten a lot of notice recently is Laura Allcorn. For her project, she cre-

ated a set of tools that can be used by humans to make pollinating crops and other plants easier.

Though she mostly designs jewelry, Allcorn expressed concern over Colony Collapse Disorder, a phenomenon in which the worker bees in the hive simply disappear. Since 2006, CCD has been blamed for a drop in honeybee population in North America, which in turn has created a drop in food production. Allcorns work throws attention not only on CCD, but also on ways in which humans can create a sustainable future.

This sustainable future idea is one of the driving forces behind the MFA Applied Craft and Design Program, as one of the program’s many aims is to encourage social and environmental responsibility. Created together by the Oregon College of Art and Craft and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, it’s the only graduate program of its kind.

The MFA degree program combines mentorbased learning along with a year round parade of visiting artists who work one-on-one with the students to give students a program which focuses on hands-on work, entrepreneurial skills and strategies, and environmental engagement.

Student curriculum is self-directed and offers students the challenge of bringing life to their ideas. The goal of such a curriculum is to aid students in developing a strong artistic voice, which

they can use with entrepreneurial skills to help a client realize their ideas. It’s all about simultaneously making a living and making a difference.

The MFA Applied Craft and Design Program accepts students from a variety of creative backgrounds and encourages the exploration of design as a concept and the making process.

Students hone their skills in a cross-disciplinary studio environment. The program was developed for students who are interested in investigating objects and actions that benefit from the sensibilities of craft and design.

As mentioned, the practicum exhibit that will be on display is the conclusion of students’ two years of study. It’s basically the same as a thesis. Students have to write a capstone paper, stressed that intensity, dedication and consistency are the keys to success in and out of the gym; combining these virtues with an in-depth understanding of the human body and nutrition can help trainees take themselves to the next level. While there is many an adage about how a poor plan executed with passion is better than getting bogged down in details, those who apply the ever-increasing amounts of scientific knowledge (without losing that all important passion) are at a distinct advantage.

Fat loss is all the rage whenever the summer season creeps up on us, and it’s also a very interesting area to examine for aspiring fitness geeks. While the golden rule of fat loss is that an individual needs to expend more calories than they consume, there are a plethora of ways trainees can use a little scientific knowledge or understanding to speed up their progress while in this calorically deficient state. Sometimes this can mean finding ways to manipulate your body chemistry to our benefit, other times it can be as simple as seeing through misinformation.

We’ve all heard of the fat-burning zone by now. It’s regularly espoused by magazine writers, trainers, professional athletes and sometimes even academics. Heck, it’s not uncommon to find cardiovascular equipment with heart rate monitoring devices that allow the trainee to make sure they are training at the optimal intensity to maximize fat burning. Many of us have spent years almost neurotically trying to stay within the narrow confines of the fat-burning zone. After all, it sounds pretty scientific and convincing. However, the true fitness geeks, the folks who bury their noses in the research journals, were shaking their heads at us all along.

See, while we’ve all been obsessing about how much fat was oxidized (i.e., utilized as fuel) during exercise, the fitness geeks were looking at the bigger picture. While it is true that more fat is oxidized during the low-to-moderate intensity exercise, this is strictly a proportional

and present a tangible expression of the practical application of knowledge or skill in a new way. This expression can come in the form of designed educational experiences, the formation of collaborative organizations, or creating built work. The same work showcased in the gallery is also presented by the student to a formal committee. Needless to say, it’s a tense time for these students.

Head down to the Galleria Building in the next few weeks and show your support for some hard-working Portland artists. After all, as Sally Field showed us in the acceptance speech for her second Oscar, everyone likes to hear that someone likes them, they really like them. Or at least, likes their work. ■ outcome. A greater percentage of fat is used (in comparison to higher intensity exercise, which makes greater utilization of the phosphagen system and glycogen), but does this mean avoiding higher-intensity exercise is the best choice when fat loss is the goal?

As long as caloric expenditures during exercise are equal, most long-term studies (spanning days or weeks, rather than a single 24-hour period) show that exercise intensity doesn’t make much of a difference when it comes to weight loss. Most coaches and trainers don’t look beyond this fact, leading them to mistakenly believe that exercise intensity is of little consequence.

However, weight loss and fat loss are two very different things. The groups that perform lower intensity exercise for longer durations tend to lose a lower percentage of fat while also losing some lean body mass (muscle). On the other hand, the high intensity exercisers lose a greater amount of fat, but also gain lean body mass. So, though both groups may lose equal amounts of weight, the high intensity group looks much better in the end. They also wind up with better cardiovascular conditioning overall.

Furthermore, other long-term research showed that High-Intensity Interval Training oxidized nine times more fat than low intensity exercise of a 20-week period. While the exact mechanisms for this impressive disparity are still being investigated, it is believed that the HIIT exercise may have resulted in metabolic adaptions within the lean body mass of the subjects. These adaptions would cause the muscle tissues to favor the process of fat oxidization.

The moral of the story here is that it’s often wise to investigate commonly held views on training because they may only be half true. For the real nitty-gritty, seek out the real fitness geeks. Combine their superior knowledge with the unparalleled passion of an athlete or coach for the highest levels of achievement. ■

In his new book, “The Net Delusion: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom,” Evgeny Morozov calls for cyber-realism in examining the relationship between freedom and technology. It has become fashionable to invest social media platforms with democratizing power, power that Morozov has said they simply do not possess.

“Americans overstate the role that western technology, such as Facebook and Twitter, have played in recent uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt,” Morozov said at an April book signing in downtown Portland. “The role that Egyptian judges played in the revolution, for instance, is something that most Westerners do not understand.

Not only does social media give them some way of relating to it, but it can make them feel good, as though western technology is helping to bring democracy to the world.”

Evgeny Morozov, who was born in Belarus, is a visit-

ing scholar at Stanford and one of the foremost experts on the political effects of the Internet.

In “The Net Delusion,” Morozov further argues that while social media have the capacity to facilitate revolutionary action, they in no way level the playing field when opposition groups are facing an autocratic regime.

Rather, it becomes a race for media literacy, with opposition groups using social media to organize and oppressive regimes using them to gather intelligence and circulate disinformation.

Morozov related a scary story that hints at Iran’s pol-

Accanto for breakfast A well-kept secret Kat Vetrano Vanguard staff

Portland breakfast restaurants are a bummer.

I’m not talking about the food, or even the service when I say that. What I mean is, if it’s the weekend and you and your friends want any kind of breakfast—from plates of potatoes washed down with Bloody Marys or a special three-course experience with house-made bacon and champagne, you’re out of luck unless you’re ready to sit and wait.

But, don’t give up just yet.

Comune Accanto, also known as Accanto to most of its diners, has a brunch that hasn’t quite been tapped yet. Saturdays are slower than Sundays, though it is possible to come in on either weekend day and fully enjoy your breakfast without a huge side of standing in the rain.

The lack of line is certainly not the only reason to brunch at Accanto. The food served is elegant and uncomplicated, yet it’s completely

“If they can’t get to it that quickly, however, they find it becomes more effective to discredit the website.”

According to Morozov, countries like Iran prefer a more subtle approach. They infiltrate Facebook groups, use social media as a means of intelligence gathering and even outright subversion.

“These regimes sometimes go as far as posting information for a protest to an opposition group Facebook page,” Morozov said. “Then they just arrest everyone who shows up.”

Technology, Morozov argues in his book, is merely a tool. The landscape of revolution remains the same, and social media are merely a means toward achieving the same things that have always been achieved.

“Autocratic governments are not afraid of social media,” Morozov said. “What they are afraid of are organized youth movements, funded by western governments. That is what’s most

On the lighter side, start with the apricot mimosa, which is made with the apricot purée that many Italians start their day with, then finished with prosecco and amaretto. For

affordable at the same time. For example, on a recent menu you can find an asparagus frittata with morels, leeks and truffled mascarpone for $9, compared to other spots in Portland where you’ll get a big plate of eggs, potatoes, and toast for the same price. Accanto delivers—without the gut bomb, and once again, without the line.

Perhaps you do want a hangover-fighting brunch on your plate. Not a problem. You can still get rich dishes like panatone French toast or croque madame and wash it down with the Belmont Bloody Mary—which is made with tomato thyme juice.

It’s just that all of these dishes are made with a little more restraint. Your brunch will still be filling, but in that satisfying “I just had some really well-prepared food” kind of way.

Other standout dishes include the bucatini carbonara, which happens to capture the exact definition of al dente with just enough guanciale (that’s Italian for fatty perfect pork). Also try the breakfast strata, stuffed with greens and creamy chevre, served atop a swirl of marinara. And make sure to get your hands on any

icy on how to best use social media to further the government’s agenda.

“A trusted colleague, while flying into Iran, was asked at customs if she had a Facebook profile,” Morozov said.

“She told them ‘no,’ at which point they pulled out a laptop, found her Facebook profile and then took note of all of her friends on the social networking site.”

“The Net Delusion” also describes the different ways that oppressive regimes use social media platforms to subvert opposition groups. One end of that spectrum is represented by China, who immediately hacks, dismantles or otherwise destroys subversive websites. The government of China, according to Movozov, exerts an iron grip in controlling the Internet use of its citizens. They follow what he calls the “four hour rule.”

“In China, if a subversive website is discovered by the government within four hours of its creation, it is taken down,” Morozov said.

threatening to their systems of oppression. Social media does have the potential to organize opposition groups, but it has equal potential to be used against them. Overall, I think the role of social media and technology in revolutionary movements has been really overstated.”

With investigative journalism, spirited storytelling and an expert knowledge of both politics and technology, Evgeny Morozov deftly dissects many commonly accepted notions of the impact of social media on the world’s political stage. It is a bold work that stands at the absolute frontier of new media research, and it not only takes us to the brink, but also shouts bold proclamations into the void. ■

The goblin shall inherit the earth Tyler, the Creator’s “Goblin” and the darkness within Nicholas Kula Vanguard staff

T

he world of music is ruled by tastemakers, and only the tastemakers know it. When a member of the group Odd Future (OF) called “Tyler, the Creator” released “Bastard” in 2009, some of them took notice. Upon first listen, they all sighed and unanimously agreed, “Well, this is going to be huge.” And it was.

That is to say, it is. “Bastard” was only a minor commercial success, which is saying something considering the album has not yet been pressed into physicality. However, the waves it sent rippling through the music community when it dropped were unmistakably seismic. An intense amount of hype enveloped Tyler and Odd Future, and that, along with several other releases, cast OF’s first stone into the indie stratosphere.

Later, it would be Tyler’s breakout single, “Yonkers,” that brought that stone to rest. Then it cast a hundred more.

On February 16, Tyler and fellow Odd Futurer Hodgy Beats played on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” Nobody knows how Tyler managed the feat—Odd Future had only a handful of live performances under their collective belt—but it happened. Before Tyler and Hodgy could take the stage, audience members shouted “Free Earl,” a respectful nod to OF member Earl Sweatshirt, who was sent to military school by his mother for his participation in the group.

With the Roots as their backing band, Tyler and Hodgy performed “Sandwitches,” not the expected “Yonkers,” and the crowd exploded.

Mos Def emerged from the electrified audience and stormed the stage, where he yelled “SWAG!” (an Odd- Future-popularized phrase meaning “spread the word”) into the camera.

Odd Future’s fate was sealed that night.

In the wake of the “Fallon” performance, Tyler signed a one-album deal with XL records to release his follow-up to “Bastard,” titled “Goblin.” It was released on May 10, and that’s where we are now; did the hype machine bury Tyler’s “Goblin,” or did the creature disassemble the contraption and take over the Earth?

He confides in the listener that he’s just a teenager trying to do something, and it’s that one sentiment that sets Tyler apart from his contemporaries— everyone has a story but Tyler. He doesn’t know why he does what he does, and that alone makes him a harrowingly dark force on “Goblin.”

“Yonkers” was a megaton bomb of a track.

The accompanying video, which featured the young, gravel-voiced Tyler eating a cockroach and hanging himself, enveloped the hip-hop landscape in a thick layer of Odd Future’s spider silk. The indie world was waiting to see what Tyler and company were going to do next. As it turns out, it was a trans-dimensional leap that nobody expected.

To truly understand the music on “Goblin,” you must first understand Tyler himself. Two years ago at 17, he attended a community college, dropped out after four days and recorded “Bastard” while he told family members he was still in school. “Bastard” was a little goofy at times, but it showed an incredible amount of naked honesty—most of the record is about his father who abandoned him and his mom at a

young age. When he offered the record for free, the ensuing media storm essentially rewarded Tyler for his pain and suffering. Tyler, seemingly never expecting people to love and crave his personal anguish, began to write tracks for “Goblin,” and the result is a bleak, soul-paring record that seeks out the loneliest corner of your brain and squats there.

The titular opening track begins as a conversation between Tyler and his supposed therapist.

“Bastard” ends with “I’m gonna let this bullet be the hero,” followed by the lines “I didn’t deserve this” and “Bang.” That said, “Goblin” essentially picks up where “Bastard” left off, and when the therapist challenges Tyler’s inability to kill himself, Tyler admits to everyone, fans, hangers-on, record executives, friends and family, “I’m not a fuckin’ role model/I’m a fuckin’ 19-year-old emotional coaster with pipe dreams.” This sets the stage to one of the most cuttingly honest hip-hop records you’ll hear in a while.

He goes on to admit to the listener that he isn’t a very good rapper, that he dropped out of community college, his friends tell him he needs counseling, and presumably, he’s getting it. He confides in the listener that he’s just a teenager trying to do something, and it’s that one sentiment that sets Tyler apart from his contemporaries—everyone has a story but Tyler. He doesn’t know why he does what he does, and that alone makes him a harrowingly dark force on “Goblin.”

Unlike cheesy “horror-core” rap groups (which Tyler derides constantly on “Goblin”) that work laughably hard for their darkness, Tyler’s gloom seems like a natural thing. When it’s a byproduct of Tyler’s style, it allows him to instead plate us other things, like lead-dense instrumentals and viscous, palpable insight.

The record plays out much like a view into a schizophrenic head—the beats, timing and delivery are all over the map. Some synth stabs are cacophonously sour, and some backing vocals occur at intermittent times. In fact, most of the record sounds like it was made in somebody’s bedroom. Because of this, it stands as an incredibly brave release by Tyler’s label XL—a label

known for putting out records by Beck, Radiohead and Weezer. The production sounds as if it never left Tyler’s pirated copy of FruityLoops; the beats are dry and crackly, there are sampled 808 hits all over the album and the percussion is incredibly suffocating. However, with Tyler’s throaty, desperate timbre, the home-brew production soars above multi-million dollar cleanup jobs in terms of effectiveness.

The most scattered feature the album contains is long songs that easily could have been bisected. Essentially, this adds to the frenetic nature of the record, but some cases feel like add-ons. This is painfully apparent on “Fish,” where the midsong transition reveals as close to “party rap” as Tyler gets, which is slightly embarrassing. However, this light-hearted mood break only helps to convey the album’s manic-depressive confession theme.

At 15 tracks, some of which could count as two, there are bound to be a couple areas where the album misses the mark. The aforementioned “Fish” provides a break from an album that is engaging enough not to need one, and two tracks later is the mostly atrocious “Bitch Suck Dick,” which seems little more than a vehicle for members of Odd Future that are on the sidelines for a reason. Thankfully, Tyler’s verses on this track are listenable, but they’re not enough to fully resuscitate the effort.

The best thing about the lulls is that they’re not Tyler’s fault. “Goblin” is at its best when Tyler is lost in the elegy, and only loses steam when outside forces pull the song into near-oblivion.

And even then, not all the guest appearances are bad; Hodgy Beats’ contributions to “Sandwitches” are brief but well-utilized, and Frank Ocean’s sultry vocals stick to “She” rather well. “Window” is mostly a plodding dirge of strings and reverb-drenched electronic drums that works as an ethereal tour of the Odd Future team.

The final track, “Golden” is easily one of the best on the record. It begins as the conclusion to his therapy session and contains the best beat on the album, if not one of the best beats of the year. As the song proceeds, Tyler becomes increasingly angry at the therapist, who finally pushes him over the edge by saying he’d have loved to be in Tyler’s shoes at his age, to which Tyler angrily assures him that he wouldn’t. Tyler caterwauls while the therapist attempts to calm him down. His rapping becomes more frantic and heated as he explains to the listener about how success has changed nothing in his life; he’s still living with his grandmother, his mother is still in school and his only friend, Earl Sweatshirt was taken away from him. The track ends with Tyler being ejected from the therapy session, while the therapist’s voice lingers and informs Tyler that he’s actually Tyler’s conscience and that he’s just been listening to himself. Sure, it’s theatrical, but as the conclusion, it works— and the exceptional beat certainly doesn’t hurt.

On its own, “Goblin” delivers, but not in a way most were expecting from the tube sockclad Tyler they saw getting a piggyback ride from Jimmy Fallon on TV. As a two-part record coupled with “Bastard,” the album sees Tyler as an incredibly powerful artist with absolutely nothing to hide. “Goblin” is, above all else, an exercise in pathos and heartfelt content that demands repeat listens, and another level of indie rap scaffolding that sends the genre further skyward. ■

The week in bangers Our resident DJ tells you what’s hot Johnny Mayer Vanguard staff

Lemme tell you what “dubstep” is about. It’s an entire genre of music that is all bass. I’m talking morning, day, night, afternoon, bass, bass, bass, bass. It sounds good through a decent pair of headphones during your morning commute, better in a car with a killer stereo setup and best in a venue that’s taken the time, effort and resources to drop a nice chunk of change into their sound system. No matter where you listen to music, you can take the sensation of bass with you. A lot of the newer dubstep coming out is mostly upbeat, making it great, all-around good times music. Up this week are some more dubstep tracks that are sure to get you in the mood for a romp.

Basement Jaxx — “Where’s Your Head At (HULK’s Rave Monster Remix) Remixes can be a slippery slope to get on. Sometimes they’re everything you enjoyed about the original track, but hyped up with a new spin; other times the original song is so terribly ruined and sliced to bits that you cannot tell what it was when you started listening to the song. That being said, HULK’s remix of this classic electronic staple by Basement Jaxx is a dubstep mix that does much more than due justice. A nice hat crash and simple melody followed by a lengthy filter sweep gets this one going. The familiar line touts, “Where’s your head at, at, at, at?” while the kick and clap starts flowing in. A very nice bass line rolls in giving you the feel of the original but with tons of wobble. An excellent break slows things down right around the 2:15 mark.

Bass once again rolls back in to prepare you for a solid drum and sampled vocal loop to close out this one.

5:08, 70 BPM, BroTown Records, 2011

Chaosphere & Datsik — “Eradicate” A gritty, futuristic, spacey and distorted introduction give way to a heavy robot voice that alerts you, “The machine will now decide your fate.” More like, “Now you will be hit with bass and it will rule.” Heavy bass stabs punch in while the drumbeat appears from almost nowhere.

Some swirly pad sounds and a nice drum roll set up the next installation of the bass line just shy of a minute. The bass continues in the forefront until the one-minute mark when a nice welldeserved break steps in—repeating swirly pads and futuristic sounds but preparing for yet more bass and sirens. The bass continues for just about minute and a half until a nice cymbal crash with lots of delay and heavy filter close the door.

4:15, 140 BPM, Rottun Recordings, 2011

Cookie Monsta — “Me Want Cookie” Cookie Monsta isn’t playing around with this one. An anthem for the iron-stomached champion of Sesame Street has been long overdue.

This track certainly deserves a round of applause. A simple strike of a couple of piano keys almost always makes for a great intro, and this one is no different. While the piano line continues, strings usher in the beat, drum roll, obligatory “cookie” sample from the Cookie Monster and, you guessed it, bass. This track has great little breaks about every thirty seconds or so, each with a memorable quote of the voracious, open-mouthed Muppet. A carefully placed break combining wonderful samples and ripping bass pops off around the 1:35 mark. The song remains pretty predictable and fun but is most certainly guaranteed to be a fun jam to share with all your friends this summer.

Neon black: "I'd really like to play tonight, but my hands are tied."

Briefly: Neon Indian and Sleigh Bells kick off national tour in Portland Jake Stevens Vanguard staff

This Thursday, the Roseland will be showcasing an event that sheds light on two very ambitious electro-pop bands that have quickly been rising in popularity not only nationally, but also internationally.

Declaring our very own city of Portland as their first stop in their 2011 summer tour, Alan Palomo and his group Neon Indian are rendezvousing here in town with the “up-and-coming group” called Sleigh Bells, dubbed so by Pitchfork late last year. Both of these bands have managed to successfully stretch beyond current methods of maxing out their levels of creativity and ultimately display a new and unique style that seems to be leading to the outcome that all artists dream of but only few attain: genuinely captivating audiences’ attention spans all around the globe. That perfect blend of creative genius is usually found marking the beginning of a new and innovative age of music.

Palomo, the main creative engine powering “Neon Indian,” brings to the table an unconventional, yet perfected, method involving what can only be imagined as a slow, highly tedious and

stressful process. After implementing multiple recordings taken of sounds created using a wide array of sources (everything from animal noises to the beeping of electronics) this conductor of modern sound then gets the opportunity to try and pull together all he’s acquired, to eventually starts to slowly turn into what appears to be the making of a song.

Historically, as the artist wrestles with the proverbial unchartered waters of ingenuity that always seem to catalyze the beginnings of something different and new, the reactions have been favorable. Neon Indian is no exception.

Having established an impressive amount of international attention towards them, Alan Palomo’s Neon Indian and quickly rising Sleigh Bells lead listeners into a trance. Struck with nostalgia, the vulnerable audience is inevitably whisked away into the diverse symphony.

Racing the big stage: Junior Joenisha Vinson competes along with five other members of the Portland State track team in the NCAA West Regional this week.

Vikings head to NCAA Regional The track and field team will compete in the biggest meet west of the Mississippi Gretchen Sandau Vanguard Staff

This Thursday, six members of the Portland State track team will be heading down to familiar territory at Hayward Field in Eugene to compete in the NCAA West Regional meet. The NCAA west region consists of schools from every state

“In addition, we had our highest finish at the conference meet in several years, and we were only one point away from being fifth in the conference. It's an exciting time to be a part of PSU Track.”

ASSISTANT COACH CASSIE STILLEY

found on the west side of the Mississippi river.

Some of the big-name universities showing up for competition will be schools such as the University of Texas, Texas A&M, University of Oregon and Stanford.

Out of the six athletes making the trip, four are female runners from the women’s 4x100 relay team, although most of those members will be competing in multiple events. The only member of the relay team who is not competing in any other event is junior Anaiah Rhodes. As for the other three, sophomore Geronne Black will be running the 100-meter, as will fellow teammate senior Karene King. Lastly, there will be junior Joenisha Vinson in the 100-meter hurdles.

On the men’s side, junior Tony Crisofulli will be running in the 800-meter and junior Sean

Mackelvie is competing in the javelin.

Last week, in Sacramento, Calif., the Big Sky Outdoor Championship was held. King also qualified for the International Associated of Athletics Federations World Championships, because of her performance in the 200-meter.

King won the race with a time of 23.46 seconds in the preliminary round. She then continued to the final round and won gold. The IAAF World Championship will be held in Daegu, South Korea, August 27 to Sept. 4.

This will be Black’s first NCAA regional appearance in the 100-m, and it will be Vinson’s, King’s and Crisofulli’s second regional meet.

Crisofulli, a native to Vail, Colo., shared a bit about his feelings before the race, saying that after his workout on the 20, he is feeling much more confident and ready to run, but is aware that the field will be strong.

“It’ll be a tough meet,” Crisofulli said, “Lots of good runners.”

At last year’s meet, Crisofulli finished 38th with a time of 1:50.65. He’s entering this meet ranked 22nd with a time of 1:49.02. He said his goals for this race were to make it to the semi final round and break the 1:48 barrier by finishing with a time around 1:48.20.

“Breaking the [1:48 mark] would be ideal,” Crisofulli said.

The semi-final round will be held at the national meet in Des Moines, Iowa, on June 8–11.

In order to make it to that point, Crisofulli would need to place within the top three of his first race to advance to the quarter final, where the top 24 athletes are chosen to compete. Then from there the top 12 from the west continue on to compete against the top 12 of the east.

Both male athletes, Crisofulli (ranked 22nd) and Mackelvie (ranked 21st), are both entering their events seeded in the top 25. Whereas the women, Black, King and Vinson, are ranked 40th, 27th and 27th, respectively.

Also, the women’s team moved up from sixth to fifth, and in doing so claimed their first ever All-Sport Trophy from the Big Sky

Conference. The team had originally placed seventh, but then they got moved up to sixth after a scoring correction in the women’s high jump.

The final score was 65 points, the best score out of the three years since head coach Ronnye Harrison took over. The men’s side ended up scoring 13 points.

“In addition, we had our highest finish at the conference meet in several years, and we were only one point away from being fifth in the conference. It's an exciting time to be a part of PSU Track,” said assistant coach Cassie Stilley.

As for those who are not competing in the regional meet, their season is done and they get to enjoy a small break before starting back up with

training. Stilley mentioned that some athletes, such as junior Dominique Maloney, as well as King, will be competing for their home country of British Virgin Islands, and have already started practicing.

For some track Vikings, they will return to action again during the cross-country season, which returns to competition at the end of August.

“There's not much room for down time.”

Stilley said.

More information about the NCAA west regional meet can be found online at goviks. com, and ticket information can be found at goducks.com. ■

Weather problems?

The forecast for the meet says it should be about 60 degrees with a chance of rain. Now, the rain may scare some, but the Vikings aren’t afraid to get a little wet.

“Nervous? Nah, if anything it’s an advantage because other schools don’t know how to run in the rain, but we do. We’re used to it,” junior Tony Crisofulli commented.

The Portland Timbers have truly put on a special performance thus far in their inaugural season as an MLS franchise. After Saturday's thrilling 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew the Timbers remain undefeated at home (where all of their wins have come) and are sitting in three-way tie for second place with a 5-3-2 overall record in the Western Conference standings.

Saturday’s shutout was a true test of endurance early on, as the Timber's play started out flat.

Portland managed only three shots throughout the first half and saw a few moments of panic as Columbus seemed to dominate offensively. The play was physical as the Columbus star players made their presence known early. Forwards Tommy Heinemann and Emilio Renteria were able to get early shots on frame for the Crew, but were unable to capitalize. Renteria has been the weapon for Columbus, scoring four goals so far this season, but he went down early in the first half with an undisclosed injury and did not return.

The loss of the Crew striker did not phase the Columbus play though as they attacked and did not give Portland room to pass freely. Play got chippy as Timbers forward Kenny Cooper was given a yellow card in the 40th minute for a near fight with Crew defender Julius James after trying to get inside positioning in Columbus’ territory. Just before the half, Heinemann was able to slip past Portland defenders and connect with a header from a long pass. The attempt was on target, but was deflected by Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins in an acrobatic save.

The near goal gave Columbus the momentum going into the half, despite the 0-0 score. The Timbers clearly needed to come out in the second half with more intensity and they did just that. Only one minute into the half, Timbers

Great support: The Timbers Army has been a major boost for the team, as they stay undefeated at Jeld-Wen this season.

midfielder Kalif Alhassan was able to connect on a free-kick by Jorge Perlazza. Alhassan did not have a clear shot on frame, but passed across the goalbox to an open Eric Brunner who was able to head the ball into the back of the net and give Portland a 1-0 advantage.

The single goal of the match, scored by Brunner, meant more than simply taking the lead.

As a former Crew defender and Columbus native, Brunner felt he had something to prove to his former team. The impressive play was the Timbers ninth goal from a set piece so far this

year. With 44 minutes remaining in regulation, Portland had to scrap to stay ahead. The frantic play continued as the Timbers became confident, taking seven shots in the second half alone. One final attempt at equalizing was taken by the Crew in the 87th minute when midfielder Robbie Rogers’ shot hitting off the far right goalpost, giving Portland a scare just before the whistle blew.

Portland was able to regain control of possession in the closing minutes and hold onto the victory. The win was big not only for former

Crew member Eric Brunner, but for a surging and growing Timbers’ team. Keeping their confidence high and taking the winning ways on the road will be huge for Portland down the stretch as they are still looking for their first three-points in an away match.

The Timbers will next host the Dutch league champions Ajax Amsterdam in a friendly at 7 p.m. tomorrow evening. On Sunday, the team will re-enter MLS play at home against D.C. United with kick-off schedule for 2 p.m. ■

Another successful season for Vikings Portland State golf team shines on the greens as they topped the Big Sky this year Rosemary Hanson Vanguard staff

The Viking women’s golf team is off the greens until fall, but they have quite a season to look back on. Beyond another Big Sky Championship, the team broke nearly every record in the PSU record books, and had three players make All-Big Sky teams. The Viks say goodbye to their two seniors, but will return five players—three of whom earned All-Big Sky selections.

In the battle for the conference title, the Viks broke the Big Sky Championship record by six shots as they took Northern Arizona by 11 strokes. This was the sixth time in just nine seasons that PSU has claimed the title, and also the second consecutive championship for the team.

Head coach Kathleen Takaishi said that beyond the physical ability of the players to perform, their dedication helped them complete the successful season.

“They’re a hard working team; they set really high goals for themselves and they wanted to achieve them,” Takaishi complimented.

Like much of the season, sophomore Britney Yada led the way during the championship tournament. Yada was named to All-Big Sky First Team alongside junior Tiffany Schoning and freshman Lauren Taylor. Taylor was also named Freshman of the Year. Senior Kalyn Dodge

rounded off the All-Big Sky selections as she earned a spot on the second-team all-conference.

At the Big Sky Championship, Yada shot a triple bogey to start off the day, but rebounded to end the day with a tournament-record 67. She also completed the tournament with the Big Sky Championship individual title.

However, during the team’s NCAA West appearance, rather than Yada leading the way, it was senior Dodge who was the top finisher for the Viks with a tie for 56th place. The team was seeded 20 out of 24 going into the competition and likewise ended the tournament that way.

Head coach Kathleen Takaishi said that the team only travels five players to meets, but that the depth of the team enabled them to perform as well as they did.

“They all did a really good job of contributing this year, even the players that didn’t compete at Big Sky Championships and Regionals,” said Takaishi, “We’re a team and everyone was a part of that.”

The Viks performance did not end on the course. On top of their athletic accomplishments, the Viks were honored earlier in the month for their 2009–10 academic performance. The players scored a perfect 1,000 Academic Progress Rate—the fourth-consecutive perfect score for the team. The 2010–11 APR results are not available until the completion of spring term, however Yada and Schoning were already named to Academic All-Big Sky for 2010–11.

While the team is on the rise both academi-

cally and on the course, they still have to say goodbye to its pair of seniors. Brown was named Big Sky Conference Golfer of the week in February and steadily improved during her senior season—she bettered her score by more than one stroke each round compared to her junior year. Dodge played in all 12 tournaments her senior year and leaves with two PSU records

under her name.

Before the team goes back into action in September, Takaishi explained that the players would all sit down and make a list of achievements they want to work towards over the year.

“I think moving up in the rankings will be a goal and winning another Big Sky Championship.” Takaishi said. ■

Softball's postseason comes to an end

WEEKEND RESULTS THURSDAY MAY 19 Softball NCAA West Regional — Game 1: Portland State 2 at Washington 6 Top Performer: Arielle Wiser (PSU) — 1-4, 2 RBI

Vikings fall to Washington and Auburn in NCAA Regional Robert Britt Vanguard staff

NBA Playoffs

SEATTLE—Portland State went hit-for-hit with two nationally ranked teams in the first round of the NCAA softball tournament, but the underdog Vikings were unable to prevail and instead had their postseason come to an end last week.

The Vikings were eliminated from the tournament after losing to the No. 14 Washington Huskies and No. 21/23 Auburn Tigers at the University of Washington-hosted Seattle Regional.

PSU lost to the Huskies 6-2 on Thursday before dropping Friday’s game to the Tigers, 2-1.

“Right in this moment I feel disappointed, because I think that we are good enough to continue on,” third-year coach Tobin Echo-Hawk said after Friday’s loss to Auburn. “But I’m really pleased with the team and how they’ve played all year— and how they’ve persevered.”

Portland State, which earned automatic entry into the national tournament after winning the Pacific Coast Softball Conference title two weeks ago, ends one of its most successful seasons at the Division-I level with a 34-18 overall record.

But success was never a

given. The Vikings began the conference schedule with three losses in four game and a 13-15 overall record, and Echo-Hawk commented on how hard her team fought back to make the program’s third trip to the NCAA tournament at the D-I level.

“I think it shows a lot about what kind of character our kids have and how strong they are; not only individually, but more so as a team,” she said.

The Vikings immediately faced an up-hill battle in the four-team doubleelimination Seattle Regional.

Thursday’s match-up pitted Portland State against Pac-10 powerhouse Washington before a home crowd of 1,035 at Husky Softball Stadium.

The Vikings matched the Huskies (37-14) at the plate with six hits, but errors and misplays proved costly for the girls in green. Washington— the 2009 national champion and 12th seed in this year’s tournament—got on the board early after putting the Viking defense to the test.

Washington senior infielder Morgan Stuart led off her team’s half of the second inning with a hard-hit triple off the wall in right-center field and came around to score off a wild

pitch from sophomore Anna Bertrand during the next at-bat.

The Huskies increased their lead with a two-run homer to left from junior infielder Niki Williams in the third inning. Another wild pitch in the fourth allowed another run to cross the plate and two more runs in the fifth put the Huskies up by six.

“There were some things we did that allowed them to take advantage of situations when they had runners in scoring position—and that’s not typical of us,” Echo-Hawk said.

“We are pretty much known for our defense, and our defense faltered a little bit.”

Though the Vikings stayed even with the Huskies in hits, PSU stranded seven runners and was not able to bring anyone home until the top of the seventh when senior shortstop Arielle Wiser hit a two-RBI double that rolled deep into the gap at right-center.

“On the offensive side, I was pretty happy with how our kids hit,” Echo-Hawk said, “They went up there and swung the bat. We had runners on, we just didn’t have that timely hit until the end with ’Rel (Wiser) and her double.”

Wiser earned one hit in four at-bats on Thursday and finished the weekend going 2-for-7. From the pitching circle, Bertrand took the loss

to end her season with a 16-9 record. In six innings of work she struck out two and walked four.

Sophomore second baseman Carly McEachran, who hit 2-for-3 with one walk and extender her career hitting streak to eight games, remarked on the level of excitement there was during the game.

“I feel like my job is to kind of be the energy and motivator on the team,” she said. “So I was trying to push through—through thick and thin—and play that role.”

The loss to the Huskies put the breaks on PSU’s 11-game winning streak and set up a Friday meeting with the Auburn Tigers (40-19). Played under cloudy skies, Friday’s game was an elimination match for each team since the Tigers had lost 2-1 to BYU in the opening game of the regional.

As the designated home team, the Vikings took the field first and Auburn immediately began a game of small-ball.

Freshman Morgan Estell worked a leadoff walk from PSU senior pitcher Nichole Latham and advanced to second on a sac-bunt before getting driven home off a double from sophomore Kelsey Cartwright.

The Vikings tried to answer back with a single from sophomore outfielder Danielle Lynn in the second inning and a triple from junior outfielder Jenna Krogh, but both ended up stranded at base. In the bottom of the fourth, Portland State tied the game at 1-all off an RBI single from freshman third baseman Crysta Conn that brought home pinch runner Meghan Lyons.

Auburn’s Lauren Schmalz then came into the game in relief and proceeded to hold the Vikings hitless over the remaining 2.1 innings.

PSU freshman Becca Bliss made an amazing defensive play that shut down a Tigers’ attempt at a sac-fly in the fifth. After fielding a standard pop-up deep in right field Bliss made the throw to third with plenty of time to catch Estell trying to advance.

Despite the showing by Bliss, a one-run sixth inning gave

the Tigers all the advantage they would need for the win.

In her final collegiate appearance, Latham gave up six hits with two strikeouts and two walks in a full seven innings. She ends the season with a 16-9 record on the season 52-39 on her career.

Krogh went 2-of-4 at the plate against the Tigers and finishes the season batting .398—a best in the Vikings’ Div-I era and fourth-best in school history. Conn went 1-of-3 with an RBI single.

Washington went on to win the Regional and now advances to the Super Regionals to face fifth-seeded

For Portland State seniors Latham, Wiser, Brandi Campos and Susan Winningham, Friday’s contest was their last as a Viking.

During the last four years the team has made two NCAA appearances, won two PCSC championships and amassed a 121-98 record. After Friday’s loss Echo-Hawk was quick to praise the contributions the seniors have made in their time with the program.

“They came in and they left the program better than it was,” Echo-Hawk said.

“They are a huge reason for our success over the last couple of years. It’s going to be hard to fill their shoes.” ■
