n Battle of the Bands winner MetaMantra opens Flat Tail, sets stage for Hoodie AllenBy Lara von Linsowe-Wilson

The Daily BaromeTer

Thousands of fans from all over the state of Oregon brought the MU quad to life this weekend for the annual Battle of the Bands and Flat Tail Music Festival. During the two-day event, loyal groupies, partygoers and music enthusiasts alike put sports affiliations and school rivalries aside to follow the event’s theme of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Music.”

Band members trod the stage in their best all-American attire to match the patriotic theme, performing for a sea of red, white and blue. As the sun went down on the heart of campus, flashing lights and neon glow sticks kept the energy flowing well into the night.

The weekend’s events kicked off

Friday with OSU student bands compet-ing for the opening spot in the festival. The bands Radion and Lacota brought out a number of fans decked out with homemade T-shirts and posters. The evening covered a wide range of musical talent and genres, with performances ranging from soulful covers to elec-tronic beats to angsty songs about ex-girlfriends.

This was Lacota bassist Evan Gütt’s second year participating in the Battle of the Bands competition, yet he still experiences the same rush when play-ing for the large crowds that the festival brings in. When he attended his first Flat Tail festival a few years back, Gütt was jealous of the bands that got to perform.

“It’s a real rush to be part of the show now,” Gütt said. “The best part is just

getting up on stage and playing my heart out. There’s no better feeling than when the songs my band and I have put so much work into perfecting are well-received by the people listening.”

Finishing off Friday night was last year’s Battle of the Bands champion and fan-favorite, Tuesday Nights. Although they were not eligible for this year’s bat-tle, some of their members also played

for other bands in the competition.“I started playing bass when I was

13 because I always loved music and wanted to play something, and my best friend let me borrow his bass,” said Nick Wright, bassist for Tuesday Nights, Lacota and the Northwest post-punk band MetaMantra.

“MUPC does a fantastic job pulling everything together every year, and it’s always an awesome opportunity for local musicians to share their music with a big crowd on a big stage,” Wright said.

At the end of the night, audience reac-tions and votes from MUPC declared MetaMantra the winner, and the band had the opportunity to perform a sec-ond time and open the Flat Tail Music Festival Saturday evening.

n Students engage Saturday Market attendees about health related issues, caution against misuse of medication

By Courtney GehringThe Daily BaromeTer

Oregon State University Pharmacy students set out to promote healthy lifestyles in the community and spread awareness about the dangers of misusing medication.

On June 1, the OSU Pharmacy school had booths at the Corvallis Saturday Market. The pharmacy students stood in white lab coats beneath a three-tent-long assemblage of information brochures, awareness games and blood sugar screenings. After purchasing local produce and baked goods, attendees could learn the ins and outs of proper medication use and poison control tips and could also have their blood pressure checked.

The pharmacy students’ booths consisted of multiple stations. The first station was designed

to educate the public of the dangers associ-ated with poison control. Children consuming medication they should not, often because they mistake it for candy or food, results in 20,000 deaths a year. The booth contained games and stickers to better children’s awareness of this danger.

“We do this so we can show kids how similar medicine and candy can look,” said Emmalee Thornton, a student of the OSU College of Pharmacy. “We are trying to educate kids that they shouldn’t be picking things up off the

ground and eating them if they don’t know what they are.”

The pharmacy students also go to local elementary schools and give 30-minute pre-sentations on the dangers of children eating medication that can potentially harm them.

The booth helped educate not only chil-dren on the dangers of consuming medi-cation they shouldn’t, but also adults. The Operation Medication Therapy Management

n Participants jog side by side with their pets in Heartland 3K Pup Run at Crystal Lake Sports Field

By Hannah JohnsonThe Daily BaromeTer

Pups and their owners gathered at the Crystal Lake Sports Field to share the sun-shine during the Heartland Pup 3K event.

“I was pleased with the participants’ attitudes,” said Yanelly Gonzalez, one of the event coordinators. “They were very grateful and supportive for the Humane Society.”

Participants finished sooner than the planning committee had expected. Once the majority of the people finished, they had a raffle drawing to hand out prizes.

Some of the participants weren’t just there to get a workout with their pets: some gave the event committee dona-tions to the Heartland Humane Society.

“I learned the power of communicat-ing with people,” Gonzalez said. “I found

it interesting that when I would talk to people about coming to our event, some of them had already heard about it from flyers or from their friends and family. I found it interesting that you didn’t nec-essarily have to speak to people face to face in order for them to find out about the event.”

Although they only had about 20 people that pre-registered for the event, some people that had come to let their dogs play at the park saw that the event involved running with dogs and decided to take part in the event.

“I chose to come to the event today because I overslept for the Run in the Hills event earlier this morn-ing,” said participant Flo Leibowitz. “In the end, it worked out though because this was an opportunity for me to support

the Heartland Humane Society, where I got my kitty, Sierra. I thoroughly enjoyed the event and loved seeing all the differ-ent kinds of dogs today — the different varieties and mixes.”

Annie Lai, another member of the event committee, said she was glad the event was received well. She appreciated how par-ticipants did not just come for the race, but also interacted and met with other participants and their dogs, if they brought any.

Looking forward, the committee hopes to integrate the event

with the Oregon State University campus.“I think that it might have been a little

better if we could have found a place on campus to hold the event rather than

and Medication Reconciliation section of the fair preached the dangers of misusing medication.

“200,000 people a year unfortunately pass away from medication related events, and they are not always relat-ed to overdose,” said Kenith Fritsche, a second year student at the OSU pharmacy school and the patient care commit-tee chair. “The fifth leading cause of death in America is medication-related events, and that is what we are trying to prevent here.”

Fritsche said it is common for people to have multiple doctors and multiple phar-macists, which creates a prob-lem because some people are receiving duplicate therapy. Many people do not keep track of what medication they are on or the doses they take.

“Through the school I was doing a medication recon-ciliation rotation at a Salem Hospital,” Fritsche said. “There was this couple, the wife was in bed unconscious and the husband had this crin-

kled up piece of paper with these medications scribbled on it and doses. It was very unorganized.”

In order to help commu-nity members — especially the elderly — organize their medications and avoid dupli-cating therapy, Fritsche and others created a medication record sheet to give out to community members in order to help them manage their medications. The sheet has spaces to record medication names, dosages, how often the medications should be taken and when to stop taking them.

Fritsche said that, especially with pain medication, people need to pay attention to when they are suppose to stop treat-ment. Oregon is currently one of the most at-risk states for respiratory depression and death caused by pain medica-tion misuse.

Along with the record sheet, the booth had bookmarks with the dos and don’ts of taking pain medication to hand out. Other bookmarks for other medications, like birth control, were also available.

The third part of the fair dealt with patient self-care.

The self-care committee of the OSU pharmacy school is involved in patient education projects. These projects are designed to help people edu-cate themselves about their bodies and issues they may be having with their health. Students passed out bro-chures and answered ques-tions regarding health issues and preventative care.

seek a doctor. Pharmacy stu-dents tested blood pressures for those interested, before market-goers continued on to other vendors’ booths.

The OSU Pharmacy School not only hosts events at the Saturday Market but other cul-tural events around Corvallis.

“We are trying to promote that individuals in the com-munity can access their phar-macists,” Fritsche said. “We are the most accessible health care provider in the health care field.”

off of campus,” Lai said. “There were also a lot of other events going on this weekend since it was the weekend before dead week, which may have been why there was still room for other participants to take part in our event.”

Beyond bringing the event to campus, Gonzalez added that Heartland Humane Society could involve its ani-

mals in the future.

“Although we did this event to help support the Heartland Humane Society, I feel that if this event were to happen next year, that maybe it would be even better if the Humane Society brought some dogs with them to show the pub-lic,” Gonzalez said. “That way they would be less in the background.”

Storm prediction agency scraps furlough plansWASHINGTON (CNN) — The federal

agency which issued tornado warnings this week has suspended plans for across-the-board employee furloughs that would kick as the summer hurricane season kicks in.

Ciaran Clayton, communications director for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the agency is canceling plans to furlough its 12,000 employees for as many as 20 days between July and September, when the federal fiscal year ends.

The cuts would hit the agency amid what their own forecasters announced a week ago is expected to be an above-

normal hurricane season.NOAA announced the cuts earlier this

year as a cost-saving measure necessitated by the forced federal spending cuts known in Washington as sequestration.

An internal memo sent to NOAA employees late Friday from agency head Kathryn Sullivan cited recent deadly tor-nadoes around the Midwest. The memo was published by The Washington Post.

“The events over the past week, includ-ing more devastating tornadoes tonight in Oklahoma and Missouri, remind us how important every single employee within NOAA is to the health, safety, and well-

being of this nation,” she wrote. “I want to thank you all for continued commitment and dedication even in times of danger to your lives, families and property. The work you do truly is important to each and every American from coast to coast.”

The memo said a “new sequestration plan” had been developed and “we are cancelling our intent to furlough all 12,000 of our employees.”

In May, NOAA forecasters predicted between 13 and 20 named storms in the Atlantic this hurricane season, which began on Saturday and runs through October.

For a third day, police, protesters clash in TurkeyISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN)

— Protesters hurled rocks and police fired tear gas in Istanbul on Sunday, the third day of demonstrations.

Thousands of protesters remained in control of the city’s Taksim Square after security forces abandoned the district Saturday following 36 hours of vicious clashes and angry demonstrations against the government.

Demonstrators erected makeshift barricades at the entrance to the square, which holds huge symbolic importance for Turkey’s left-ist political parties and labor movement.

There were reports of con-frontations in at least one other neighborhood in Istanbul and in cities such as Ankara and Adana, where a man told CNN the situation was bad. Police fired tear gas in Ankara to dis-perse demonstrators.

“There is civil police arrest-

ing people all over the place,” Cenker Kardesler said by phone. “The police tried to corner the people. They came at us from both sides.”

In Taksim Square, tensions remained high between pro-testers and police, but the scene was calmer than it had been in recent days. Many people helped municipal work-ers in their cleanup efforts.

But on Friday and Saturday, this bustling neighborhood was a battleground as riot police used water cannons, tear gas, pepper spray and armored personnel carriers to prevent protesters from enter-ing this transit and commercial hub at the heart of the city.

Saturday afternoon, police withdrew after firing sever-al last volleys of tear gas at crowds, sending thousands of screaming people fleeing for cover.

Police used similar tactics in the Istanbul neighborhood of

Besiktas early Sunday, a resi-dent said. A woman who was on her way to buy groceries told CNN she saw police using tear gas and people fleeing in terror.

Turkey’s semi-official news agency reported that more than 700 people have been detained since Tuesday, and most have been released. Andalou News Agency said 58 civilians are still hospitalized and 115 security officers have been injured.

There have been protests in 67 of Turkey’s 81 provinces over the past four days, Andalou reported.

What began as a small sit-in to protest against the govern-ment’s plan to demolish a park in Taksim Square has swelled to the biggest protest movement against Turkey’s prime minister since Recep Tayyip Erdogan was elected more than 10 years ago. The crowds have been chanting “Tayyip resign” and

“shoulder to shoulder against fascism.”

In a televised speech on Sunday, Erdogan remained defiant.

“I ask in the name of God, Tayyip Erdogan is a dictator? If you are the kind of person who can call someone who serves their people a dictator, then I have no words for you,” Erdogan said.

He went on to praise his accomplishments overseeing a decade of unprecedented economic growth in Turkey. He also defended his record as a leader who has planted many trees.

“They are putting on airs saying we massacre trees,” he said. “We have planted approx-imately 2 billion trees.”

But many of the demonstra-tors say their anger is no longer directed against the proposed government plan to demolish Gezi Park, the last green space in central Istanbul.

University is about learning, growing, not trainingOregon State University’s

blatant discrimination against the humanities

and liberal arts is ridiculous. For the past several years students have seen the consolidation of depart-ments, a wanton disregard for student education and a growing emphasis on collegiate sports to prop up university rankings.

You see the discrimination in the way scholarships are worded and in the dismissal of any research not done in a lab as something unwor-thy of study. You see it whenever money is diverted to the stadium instead of the seminar. You see it whenever a new building is erected as a temple for profit instead of a sanctuary for learning.

Let’s be clear about something: The primary function of a univer-sity is not to create and maintain the best football team. A school was never judged great because it had a winning season. Anyone who says otherwise is either willfully igno-rant or just plain foolish. Neither is its function to train a particular skill, such as computer coding, accounting or somehow instilling business acumen. Instead, a uni-versity exists to expand your mind. Its chief purpose is to make you a better person.

President Ray has committed the school to excellence. But in doing so he has diverted money and attention from the core values of the university system and instead invested it in new buildings for the College of Business and creating a first-rate sports program.

What’s wrong with being the best school? Why do we have to celebrate the excellence of our football team over the excellence of our scholarship, the brilliance of our students or the innovation of our programs? Why can’t we be the Harvard of the West Coast? Or better still, why can’t Harvard be the Oregon State University of the East Coast?

B e c a u s e i t means that we have to refocus our energy and attention away from the specta-cle of sports and toward shoring up failing insti-tutions within the university. It means we have to invest in a long-term program of academic excellence and forget about the easy successes and short-term losses in Reser Stadium. It means that instead of castrating the humanities and liberal arts, we need to embrace them and make this school great.

If you take a trip down past the Memorial Union, you’ll see what I mean in action. The new Austin Hall currently being constructed sits directly behind Fairbanks Hall, home of the art and sociology

departments. How can the admin-istration justify building a brand-spanking-new monstrosity behind a building which is currently inac-cessible to much of the student population?

Fairbanks Hall is a three-story building without elevators. In fact, if you are in a wheelchair or on crutches, you have to head out back and use the dumbwaiter just to get to the first floor. I’m sure Ken and Joan Austin are glad to have a build-ing named after them, but I suspect

they’d be happier if that money had been put to use repairing nonfunc-tional buildings instead. Or per-haps the College of Business intends to welcome the sociology depart-ment and the art program to their new building with open arms.

But I doubt it. Instead, these

departments will gaze from their 120-year-old windows and feel the warm glow of pride that their university decided it was better to invest in Austin Hall than in mak-ing sure students with disabilities could chat with their adviser or make their professors’ office hours.

This is not to say that the College of Business doesn’t need a new building. Certainly it does. Where

Participate in board

discussionIt’s time to have a conversation

about institutional boards at Oregon State University.

A meeting with OSU President Ed Ray is scheduled today at 10 a.m. in the LaSells Stewart Center in the Construction and Engineering Hall. Students, staff and faculty are invited to attend the meeting.

Due to the University of Oregon and Portland State University requesting individual governing boards under Senate Bill 270, Ray has asked the leg-islature for OSU to be given the option of having a board.

If the bill, still currently under consid-eration in the state legislature, is passed, Ray would then be able to inform the governor if OSU wants a board as early as Aug. 1, and no later than Dec. 31. The governor could then appoint a board of trustees made up of 11 to 15 members.

However, OSU is not required to establish a board. One thing is certain: Individual governing boards would significantly change the governance of public universities in Oregon.

While we do not see the need for OSU to have its own institutional board, it is important we as a university discuss how it should be formed if we are to have one.

The boards should not be composed of only administrators — it should also include the voices of faculty and stu-dents. A few seats should be reserved on the board for these important parts of our university.

Another worry is that powerful busi-ness interests may take too active a role in the university and its decision-making policies. We worry that deci-sions will be made to appease and benefit these powerful interests rather than making decisions that benefit the university and its students. Safeguards must be created in order to ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of students and not just the best interest of powerful donors.

The boards would create a powerful new tool to advocate for the university and its needs, especially in a time of diminished funding from the state. But it may also create another level of unneeded bureaucracy in the gover-nance of the university, and what will happen with the state board of higher education if the bill passes has yet to be decided.

We would also like to know how the board will be chosen and how long people may serve on the board. The board needs to be held accountable to someone, whether that is the state legis-lature or the board of higher education.

If the University of Oregon and Portland State University both have a board in 2014, then we would like Oregon State to have one too. Basically, if everyone’s going to make this move, OSU should too.

A positive review the second

time through After watching the entire

fourth season of “Arrested Development” twice, I can

honestly say that it was worth the wait. Yes, I spent more than 17 hours of my Memorial Day week-end making sure I could give you faithful readers an accurate review – after all, the show is all about being able to catch new jokes and refer-ences in each subsequent viewing.

After doing some searching online, it seems I’m one of the few writing a review after two complete viewings, and for good reason – it’s a lot of hours. My eyes needed a lot of rest after staring at the screen for so long. I did take some breaks, but for the most part, it was quite the bingeing marathon.

I think it’s because of the once-through method of reviewing that the reviews are so mixed, though they do lean slightly to the positive. For a show with so much intricacy, and such an overload of references, it almost removes credibility to do so.

But I don’t mean to denunciate, and most reviews duly point out some obvious flaws in the season’s overall solidity.

For one, the season gets off to a slow start. I had to encourage per-severance with a couple of friends who called me after viewing only the first few episodes. Since the new season doesn’t pick up immediately after where the last season left off, a lot of gaps have to be filled. The new style of having each episode focus on a particular character makes this a little tedious.

On top of filling in the gaps, a new intricacy has to be woven, meaning less time to let the show ride freely. However, during this fill and weave, there are plenty of references and jokes to enjoy. Many are throwbacks to the first three seasons, and it took me until the second go-around to catch a lot of them.

It is about the point where all of the main characters have had their devoted episode that the show hits the ground running. Episode seven focuses on Gob, and the sparks really start to fly. One of the focal jokes of the show is the use of Ron Howard, the narrator, as an actual character, and the writers really play with this quite well.

Of course, Tobias makes a big come back, with some lines that literally made me do a spit-take. I’m pretty sure Mitchell Hurwitz, the show’s creator, knew that the first few episodes would be too slow for some, and keenly placed Tobias’ episode right in the middle with some clas-sic jokes.

A second criticism revolves around character interaction. What made the show so great was the interaction of the entire family, and a lot of that is left out in this new “individual story-line” motif. Obviously Michael still has plenty of interaction with his son, since one of his key idiosyncrasies was his over-attachment to him. But a lot of the key formulas, like the Lindsay-Tobias combo, are minimal, and others are almost completely left out. There’s even a joke in the later part of the season where I think the writers realized that two characters

Twitter rankings: Team-by-team editionThe Daily BaromeTer

At the beginning of the 2011-12 school year, the Barometer began publishing a “tweet of the day” in the sports section of each issue. Any Oregon State University student athlete on Twitter is eligible for “tweet of the day.”

By stalking student athletes’ Twitter accounts in search of tweets of the day, we’ve learned quite a bit more about the student athletes we cover. We’ve learned who’s funny and who’s boring. We’ve identified the flirts and learned who’s talking to whom. We know who goes to bed early and who’s most likely to post a Vine at 3 a.m. after a night out.

Basically, we’ve learned who’s worth following and

who isn’t.

Last year, Barometer columnist Grady Garrett ranked the top 10 student athlete tweeters at OSU. This year, we decided to rank the four most entertaining teams on Twitter. For each team that we ranked, we included a breakdown of relevant individuals’ tweet

ing styles. Think of it as a Twitter “scouting report.”Today, we unveil the No. 4 and No. 3 ranked teams. Tomorrow, we’ll reveal our top two teams, as well

as a comprehensive breakdown of which athletes and teams have produced the most tweets of the day over the past two years.

We can only hope this doesn’t scare any student athletes away from using Twitter.

No. 4: Men’s SoccerBy Warner strausbaugh

The Daily BaromeTer

Most Valuable TweeterJosh Smith (@MagicSmitty)Tweets of the day (dating back to last

school year): 7Smith is responsible for more than half of the

men’s soccer team’s tweets of the day — and there were many we chose to not pick for the sake of not having it change to “Josh Smith’s Tweet of the Day.” His humor and sarcasm on Twitter are exceptional, and his tweets inspired a nearly-2,000-word feature about the student athlete who has a 4.0 in chemical engineering. The thing that sets his tweets apart from most other student athletes: He’s not afraid to tweet out something provocative.

got me bounced from the Face of OSU bracket so early.”

• “Today I’m going to be the best person I can be. Mostly to get my Lulu score up.”

• “I would probably respect Ryan Lochte more if he smoked bowls like Michael Phelps instead

of trying to be a reality TV star.”• “My heart’s telling me this guy working

at Arco is a baller, but my mind knows that’s impossible.”

• “Half-gal of Darigold egg nog to the dome. Smashed off Christmas spirit.”

• “Commercials for Trojan Bareskin condoms must be super confusing for blind people. Bear

skin sounds thick.”• “My longest relationship this

year has been with my thermo book. Happy four months, sweetheart…”

• “Either I’ve mastered casually looking away right as I get caught star-ing, or a lot of girls on campus know I’m a creeper.”

• “Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his tweets.”

Maybe we just fall in line with Smith’s sense of humor, but his tweets

typically have us LOL-ing. Unless he’s on a tweet-ing binge about his favorite show, “The Bachelor.”

The BritWill Seymore (@WilliamSeesmore)Tweets of the day: 1British people are awesome. Seymore comes

from Manchester, England, and frequently

tweets about his team and the Premier League:• “end of an era for the greatest manager ever

in football. you’ll be missed fergie.• “suarez the cheat does it again”• “UNITED UNITED UNITED WELBECK YOU

BEAUTY”• “Millwall terrible town terrible club, no room

your racism in football”• “lets all laugh at chel-

sea , lets all laugh at chel-sea hahaha”

He also uses British slang all the time. If only we could hear him says these out loud in his accent:

• “To the lad on the train looking dodgy like you stole something, you did I

watched you steal it #standardcambridge”• “you bonkers?”• “@mickylamb93 bloody hell was mental! Rick

looks like hes going crazy next episode! Grats on your championship mate!”

• “blaaaddy freezing this morning”• “bloody hell”You know nothing, Jon SnowTravis Anderson (@travaldinho)

Tweets of the day: 3If you don’t follow Anderson on Twitter, then

you might not know just how much he loves HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

On Mar. 31 when the third season premiered, he tweeted, “Game of Thrones!!!! #GOT don’t read my tweets for the next couple of hours if you don’t want it spoiled”

Then live-tweeted dur-ing the episode:

• “IT’S STARTING!!! #GOT”

• “I love the storylines so far in #GOT”

• “Sansa has grown up #GOT”

• “King Joffery makes an appearance #SlimeBall #GOT”

We love the passion, aside from the fact that the actress who plays Sansa Stark is 17 years-old, and his tweet about her being “grown up” was very suggestive of something. But he makes up for it by saying similar messages about Khaleesi and Margaery Tyrell (both actresses are of age), and how they “do things right”:

• “Just got caught up on @GameOfThrones for

n Junior left-hander Ben Wetzler strikes out 10 batters in a one-run complete game, OSU beats Texas A&M, 6-1

By Andrew KilstromThe Daily BaromeTer

There were a lot of smiles and laughs during Oregon State’s post-game press conference after knock-ing off Texas A&M.

After one-run victories on Friday and Saturday and a come-from-behind victory in Sunday’s game to advance to the Super Regionals, there was plenty to be happy about.

“We wanted to keep it interesting for Beaver Nation,” said senior first baseman Danny Hayes. “Everyone got their money’s worth, that’s for sure. A win’s a win.”

The Beavers (48-10) won, 6-1, on Sunday behind the left arm of junior pitcher Ben Wetzler. After allowing the game’s first run in the first inning, the southpaw shut down Texas A&M (35-24), allowing only four hits while striking out 10 in a complete-game effort.

While Wetzler earned his eighth win of the season and a standing ovation from Goss Stadium after the victory, OSU preached teamwork after the game.

Both head coach Pat Casey and Hayes attributed their success this season and in the tournament to their ability to play as a unit.

“One thing [Texas A&M head coach] Childress said after the game was ‘I can’t believe how well you guys play together,’” Casey said. “I don’t think there’s a better compli-ment than that for our kids. ...As a coach, that’s as big a compliment I can get from a guy I have so much respect for.”

“We definitely don’t have any indi-viduals on this team,” Hayes added.

• “Craving some apple crisp.”

• Then again on Oct. 20: “What is it in Double Tree cookies that makes them so damn good.”

He loves his Local Boyz:• “Why is it that the one day I want Local Boyz

the most it’s closed.”• “Local Boyz really hitting the spot.”And even goes for healthy food every once

Roberto Nelson (@RobertOohssuu55)Tweets of the day: 8Like getting mad at a teammate for taking

a bad shot, Nelson isn’t afraid to call out a teammate for tweeting something he doesn’t approve of:

• “@OSU_11_Joe I hate this soo much” [in response to Joe Burton posting four mirror pics]

• “@astarks3 I hate this pic soo much” [in response to Ahmad Starks posting a picture captioned: “smooth at a young age”]

• “@32_Chocolate_Rd hash tag one deep again!!!” [more on #onedeep later]

• “@jullian31Powers I hate u Jullian” [in response to Jullian Powers tweeting 17 Emojis]

• “@OSU_11_Joe jeeez I hate u but I love u... Wait no I hate @Jullian31Powers and love u lol”

Thank you, Roberto, for holding your team-mates accountable on Twitter.

The fraudRoberto Nelson (again)Nelson’s Twitter bio: “Just a young humble

man from Santa Barbara”Let’s see here:• “@gomsses: lost...one of my better all

• “Thought I would show the world how I kill @D_Gilmore in MLB [posted a video]”

• “I want to apologize to @D_Gilmore for putting on a show in MLB tonite.”

• “So I am officially the champ of the team in fun run!!!”

Sound humble to you?

The man who speaks on behalf of all men

Jarmal Reid (@32_Chocolate_Rd)Tweets of the day: 2Listen up, ladies:• “You can’t call a guy thirsty if you posting

thirst traps... I’m jus sayin”• “I don’t understand why women always

wanna go through a man phone cause they gone get mad regardless if they fine what they lookin for or not”

• “Any woman that can’t pay for themselves when out on a date has no room to talk about a guy being cheap... $1 mcdouble is all u get-ting outta me”

Preach, Jarmal, preach!The love doctorDevon Collier (@smoothdev44)Tweets of the day: 5Though Nelson and Starks declared them-

selves the love doctors of this year’s team, Devon Collier’s timeline suggests otherwise.

On March 4, Collier tweeted: “Anybody need advice I’m here.”

I’m not sure if anyone took Collier up on his offer, but that didn’t stop him from offering his followers some tips:

• “When a female say do whatever you want, do NOT do whatever you want lol”

• “If someone breaks your heart don’t stress over it just use it as a lesson and learn from it, so you won’t do the same mistake again”

• “Don’t be with someone who does not want to be with you”

He’s also retweeted the following tips, cour-tesy of teammates:

• “When a girl cries, it’s not usually over one thing. It’s built up anger and emotions that she’s been holding in for too long” – Langston Morris-Walker

• “A wise man told me the worst thing you can do is break a woman’s trust” – Victor Robbins

And who said the OSU basketball team has no game? They seem to have

this whole love thing all figured out.

The two-day wonder:Vic Robbins (@youtightvic)Tweets of the day: 1You may know Robbins as the outspoken

freshman who came off sounding rather confident in a column titled, “Is OSU better without Starks?” Awesomely, Robbins basically live-tweeted his chain of thoughts upon seeing his words in print.

Tweets on April 30, the day the column was pub-lished: “I be going toooo hard sometimes,” “Lol it is what it is,” “I’m what you need”

Then, the next day (May 1): “I can’t wait,” “Enough talking just actions,” “Just let my game speak”

Interpretation: Robbins’s initial reaction is, “Oh crap, I shouldn’t have said that.” Then he downplays it. Then, in case his followers think he’s backing off his comments, he reiterates that he is in fact what the team needs (or this could be an unrelated subtweet directed at a girl). Then, the next day, someone ruins the fun by telling him to shut up.

Robbins has only received one “tweet of the day.” Not surprisingly, it came during this two-day period.

The Instagram guyE r i c Mo re l a n d

(EricMoreland15)Tweets of the day: 8Moreland’s the only

player on the team who routinely posts Instagram photos of himself on Twitter. And who can blame him? Earlier in this column, a Reid tweet mentions the term “thirsty.” If you’re

not sure what “thirsty” means, just click on one of Moreland’s Instagram photos and read the comments.

“We have a great group of guys, we all love each other and we’re there to pick each other up.”

The Beavers had to fight back once again on Sunday — OSU fell behind in both games earlier in the weekend — after falling behind 1-0 in the first inning.

OSU didn’t get on the score-board until the fifth inning when Michael Conforto drib-bled a ground ball up the mid-dle for the apparent third out of the inning, b u t Te x a s A&M short-stop Brandon Trinkwon overthrew first base, scoring Smith from second base.

The Beavers didn’t take their first lead until the sev-enth inning, when Hayes lined a dou-ble down the right field line, scoring Smith from second and Peterson from first for a 3-1 lead.

“I firmly believe that little things win big games,” Casey said. “There were a lot of them tonight. Peterson beating out

a throw to second was one of them that got us a run.”

OSU added some insur-ance in the ninth when Hayes singled past the second base-man, plating Conforto.

Ryan Barnes tacked on another with an RBI single, followed by another RBI single the very next at-bat from Kavin Keyes.

“We all just try to focus on having good at-bats,” Hayes said. “We don’t want to throw any at-bats away. I’m just happy we have such a great pitching staff to keep us in the one-run games.”

The pitch-ing staff was dominant all weekend for the Beavers, allowing only seven runs combined in the three games over the weekend.

Wetzler and fresh-man Andrew Moore allowed only two earned runs between the two of them in 17

innings of action.Wetzler, especially, was elec-

tric, striking out 10 batters on Sunday over 121 pitches.

“It’s easy to say he’s got good stuff, but he’s such a competi-

tor,” Casey said. “I think that separates him from a lot of guys that have good stuff.”

Wetzler was over 100 pitch-es, generally the threshold for managers to pull pitchers at the college level, when he took the mound for the final inning. Casey said Wetzler’s

competitive nature was the overpowering reason he let the junior finish the game.

“I was wondering who [Wetzler] was going to hit first, me or [pitching coach Nate Yeskie], if I pulled him in the ninth,” Casey said with a laugh. “He’s bigger than me, so I said he can go out.”

Wetzler said fatigue was never an issue.

“It was purely adrenaline,” Wetzler said. “I don’t know if I ever felt tired. I just went on the juices in my body.”

With the victory, OSU advances to the Super Regionals against Kansas State in Goss Stadium next week-end for a best-of-three series. The winner advances to the College World Series.

Hayes made it clear on Sunday that the Beavers were motivated and ready for the chance to qualify for Omaha, Neb.

“We’re not done yet,” Hayes said. “I don’t think I’ve ever played with a team as special as this...We all have one goal in our minds, and we’re not going to be satisfied until we meet that goal.”

My final criticism is the ending. A lot is left to be explained. While I understand this methodology, it’s still frustrating. Thankfully there are no cliff-hangers to really leave the audience wondering.

If I had reviewed this season after only a single viewing, I think I would have been a bit more negative in my review. But thanks to going back a second time, and catching a lot of references I’d missed previously, I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even the first few episodes were better after having an understanding of their purpose. If you haven’t watched it yet, or quit after the first few episodes, let this review encour-age you to watch it all.

else will they build better capitalists of the future, or hone the next great captain of industry? But business math and accounting aren’t indicative of the higher function of a university and in fact only serve to pander to the pocket-books and egos of donors.

Instead, the conversation in which the university ought to be engaged in is what it means to be a good person. The question they ought to be asking is not, “How much money can I make,” but rather, “How can I live the best pos-sible life?” That question isn’t answered by counting change or worrying about rankings. Certainly, the great institutions never cared about how far a high school senior could throw a silly ball. The ques-tion is answered by a robust, challenging conversation between students and the intellectuals of the past, facilitated by the greatest thinkers of today.

But you could say, and rightfully so, that you don’t come here for the liberal arts programs. And you’d have a point.

Instead, you come to Oregon State College for its engineering renown, the strength of its agricultural programs and the emphasis it places on horticulture and food science.

But wait. Oregon State College became Oregon State University in the 1960s. The change wasn’t just semantic. It highlighted that what was once an institution devoted to teaching practi-cal skills had aspirations for something more abstract and meaningful. We live with the legacy of that decision and see it in the role of the baccalaureate core in our education — and remember that an education is not about training a certain skill, but rather about the blooming of a person’s whole being.

We neglect the intellect here. We neglect the heart. We neglect the soul. We pander to the base and the fleeting pleasures of the moment. I think we can do better. I think we ought to do better.

piano beats. Mosley Wotta, DJ Vue and Sol were next, slam-ming out unconventional mixes of poetry, quick vocals, hip hop and electro.

The most anticipated per-former of the weekend was headliner Hoodie Allen, a New York-based rapper and hip-hop artist.

Before the show, Allen made appear-ances at his booth for pho-tos and sign-ings. Although he was admit-tedly worried about how the show was going to go due to a small early turnout and a seemingly even smaller Oregon fan base, his fears were van-quished when he stepped out onto the stage Saturday night. Allen’s tweet immediately fol-lowing the concert read: “OSU! Sincerely that was insane. I’m humbled to have played with such great performers and for such an energetic crowd.

#Beavers.”

Battle of the Bands and the Flat Tail Music Festival was hosted and made possible by the Memorial Union Program Council, and was sponsored in part by OSU Summer Session and Corvallis Custom.

Megan McGinty, MUPC Concert and Music Coordinator, enjoys seeing the fresh talents and increasing student involve-

ment in the festival from year to year. Not only are the volunteers who help plan and run the festival OSU students, but students are also the ones who help

decide which artists come to campus every year.

“This is an event by students for students to enhance the over-all college experience,” McGinty said. “These are the types of memories students will remem-ber and want to make in their years here at OSU.”

Lara von Linsowe-Wilson, news [email protected]


Pianist for rags + ribbons, Jon hicks, shows his versatility by playing the bass drum for one of their songs during the festival.
