Haunting at Sackett
Aaron Newton | THE DAILY BAROMETER
Rumors of paranormal activity in dorm linked to a 1970s murder By Lindsay Free News Contributor
When he moved into Sackett Hall his freshman year, Andrew Miles had already heard the rumors that a ghost roamed the dorm. He didn’t give much thought to the stories, until late one night when something very strange happened. “I was laying in bed, and suddenly there was a banging noise that wouldn’t stop,” said Miles, who is now a senior studying agriculture business management. According to legend, the ghost of Sackett Hall is that of a young woman who was murdered by infamous serial killer Ted Bundy. The ghost is rumored to reside mostly in the basement area of Sackett, but mysteriously rustling curtains and doors that occasionally slam shut of their own accord are cited as evidence that the ghost sometimes wanders the dorm’s halls. While paranormal activity cannot be proved, there is some truth to the story in that a murder did occur in Sackett Hall. Roberta Kathleen Parks was 20 years old when she went missing on May 6, 1974. She was originally from Lafayette, California, and was studying world religions. The days leading up to her disappearance had been stressful, as she had recently broken up with her boyfriend and fought with her father, who suffered
a massive heart attack on the day she went missing. Her father survived the heart attack, but Parks was still very upset. Even so, that evening Parks left her dorm room in Sackett around 11 p.m. with plans to meet friends in the Memorial Union. She never arrived. Parks’ remains were identified a year later in the Taylor Mountain area east of Seattle, along with the remains of three other young women murdered by Bundy. The disappearance of Parks remains a mystery. While some rumors among students suggest that the murder took place in Sackett, it is not known exactly where Parks was abducted, and Bundy was never actually seen on campus. “To our knowledge, Ted Bundy was not identified on campus, and he never admitted to being on campus,” said Steve Clark, OSU’s Vice President for University Relations and Marketing. A charismatic, handsome, and by all accounts normal-seeming man, Bundy was one of the most notorious serial killers of the twentieth century. Before his death, he admitted to the murders of 30 young women and girls, including Parks, but he is suspected of killing up to 100. He was executed in the electric chair at Starke State prison in Florida on January 4, 1989. Bundy was never charged for Parks’ murder.
Regarding Sackett Hall, the rumor that it is haunted likely stems from a desire to understand the tragedy of Parks’ murder. “When you hear the story of someone who suffered a tragedy and had a connection to a certain building, I don’t think it’s uncommon to have a fascination with that person’s connection with the building maybe continuing on after death,” said Jennifer Viña, Director of Marketing and Communications for University Housing and Dining. While Viña has heard anecdotes of ghost sightings in Sackett, nothing has ever been substantiated, and there are no records of any students reporting paranormal encounters to UHDS. “A lot of what we hear is just rumors and anecdotes from years past,” Viña said. “There’s a lot of fascination with the idea of ghosts or afterlife, especially on a college campus.” Ghost stories are common on college campuses, with the rumors usually focusing on the oldest buildings. Sackett Hall was built in 1948, and is one of OSU’s oldest residence halls still in service. The old hardwood floors creak, heaters clang, and the building’s unique eight-pronged layout creates strange echoes.

With this year’s Halloween weekend just around the corner, Beaver nation is getting ready to celebrate. And as the festivities draw near, the university is committed to ensuring that its students get more treats than tricks. In order to do this, many organizations and branches within the university are sponsoring events and advising students to stay safe and courteous this Halloween weekend.

ways. With this in mind, members of the OSU community like Stephen Jenkins, Director of UHDS Resident Education, are working to ensure a positive Halloween experience. “Our biggest concern always is for the health and safety of our students and residents,” Jenkins said in an email. The university will be taking steps over the course of Halloween weekend in order to combat the potential for trouble. Specifically, there will be increased presence of law enforcement on campus and Safe Ride will be available. Additionally, many groups will be putting on university-sponsored events to provide students with safe and fun activities to attend. One of the groups putting on an event is the Student Events and Activities Center, who will be putting on this year’s Beaver Bash

OSU discussion panel considers effects of prison overflow Consequences of prison overflow in the United States leave activists, OSU professors concerned By Marcus Trinidad News Contributor
On Thursday there was a panel discussion on prison population and politics in the United States held in the Memorial Union Journey Room with two Oregon State University professors and a social activist from the #BlackLivesMatters movement. The topics ranged from the privatization of prisons, mandatory minimum sentencing and people’s lives during and after their time behind bars. According to OSU’s School of History, Philosophy, and Religion page about “Citizenship and Crisis,” “The United States, which makes up less than five percent of the world’s population, held almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners.” At the pannel, Teressa Raiford, Oregon leader for #BlackLivesMatters played Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” video — a song about police brutality, and a system that targets black citizens with a chorus that sayss “All my life I have to fight / but we gon’ be alright.” “What that should tell you is that (the African American community) understands all the numbers. And all the numbers is why we get killed,” Raiford said. “We don’t educate our kids with numbers, we use Tupac and hip hop, their art, to teach them what happens on the streets to save their lives.” According to associate professor at Oregon State University Brett Burkhardt, the public is starting to become more aware of the effects of mass imprisonment. “The rise in incarceration is historically unprecedented and without equal in the industrial world,” Burkhardt said.“It has become so common that it affects almost everyone.”
Burkhardt said the current system may be making people’s lives in prison harder. He said that numbers show how private prisons discipline their inmates more often than public facilities. Guard unions also have a bottom line. Burkhardt explains guard unions need to ensure their job security by supporting politicians who have a law and another order agenda that will increase incarceration. Whether they are public or private prisons, they both have invested interests to lock more people behind bars. OSU Professor Michelle Inderbitzen believes many people are in prison beyond what is necessary or desirable. Inderbitzen has worked with juveniles in the Oregon State Penitentiary who are first time offenders given sentences of either 25 years to life or 30 years to life in prison. She has seen prisoners donate whatever money they make in prison to charities in the outside world. Even though prisoners only make, at most 100 dollars a day, they still want to do good. “They are very aware of the stigmas that they carry as felons once they leave prison, but they still try to make the best of it,” Inderbitzen said. “The prison is their whole world for a decade, it will be a hard transition for all of them but they are doing all they can to prepare.” Both professors have researched this extensively with studies and numbers, but Raiford emphasized how this continues to impact people every day. “(African american kids on the street) can beat any thesis you put up in front of them because this is their life. They’ve been behind the bars, and on the streets, and they know more
about this problem, and they haven’t even been to college,” Raiford said. Associate professor and moderator for the panel Christopher Nichols hopes these kinds of panels help create a greater discussion that can lead to change. With three different perspectives of the American prison system being applied to one issue, it creates a more comprehensive approach the problem “People usually treat issues as one-offs; it’s just Ferguson, it’s just Baltimore, it’s just prison,” Nichols said. “But what threads them all together and analyzing that is overlooked, and that is why we have this program.” According to Nichols, one of the purposes of this panel is to raise awareness of the issues for our students and our local community. He sees it as a way to have OSU faculty experts use their knowledge and perspectives to apply it to a crucial issue and generate discussion that they cannot get in the classroom. According to Raiford, students are not learning the right things in school to make real change because there is no money in the business of social change. But Raiford believes that any CEO or anyone thinking of a STEM career in America needs to be part of this program. “People need to study anthropology, people need to study philosophy, people need to study social justice, people need to participate in this program because that’s the only way we can make real change,” Raiford said. “And that’s the only way we can save lives.” news@dailybarometer.com

Haunted House to raise heart rates, money for Jackson Street youth Shelter Phi Gamma Delta hosts Halloween Weekend to raise money for non-profit Riley Youngman
News Contributor While many students use Halloween Weekend to occupy the streets and take a break from their rigorous academic responsibilities, the members of the Kappa Omicron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, more commonly known as FIJI, at Oregon State will be found at their house both Friday and Saturday nights. The twist though, it’s all in the name of charity. Phi Gamma Delta’s annual haunted house, or “Terror on 25th Street”, is a longstanding tradition with the Corvallis chapter, and is put on every year as a fundraiser for the local non-profit organization, Jackson Street Youth Shelter. “Last year we brought in roughly $2,300,” said Ian Schacter, a sophomore in microbiology and one of the FIJI Haunted House Coordinators. This year we are looking to at least double that amount. Jackson Street Youth Shelter is one of our main service partners and we want to
donate our time as well as our dollars.” This year’s theme for the event is “Blood on the Bayou,” taking on a southern Cajun spin. Citing a successful last few years, Schacter said the aim for this year is to make the event the biggest one yet. “We are hoping to have 1,000 people attend the Haunted House this year over the two nights we’re open,” Schacter said. In addition to the members of Phi Gamma Delta, this year’s haunted house will include members from three different sororities as well. Chi Theta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Sigma Delta Omega will all have members present at “Terror on 25th Street,” performing in a wide variety of functions. “Chi Theta Phi is a fairly new sorority on campus, and the girls wanted to get involved with something that would be impactful,” said Sydney Juell, a senior in graphic design and the Philanthropy Chair of Chi Theta Phi. There has been contribution from other organizations in addition to FIJI in the past, but due to the events growth in popularity, this year has more outside involvement than ever before. “There have been a few girls involved the last several years, but this year we wanted more
of the house to be a part of this,” said Rachel Ramirez, a junior in accounting and management and the Philanthropy chair of Kappa Alpha Theta. “This is one of my favorite events of the year. I’ve had a lot of fun planning it and am excited for the opening. The Haunted House really helps the community,” Francisco Flores, a junior in public health and the other Co-coordinator said. “We had several people not make it through the house last year because they were too scared, and this year we are making it even scarier.” The haunted house itself has been described as fun, yet terrifying, by many who have gone through in previous years. Those at Phi Gamma Delta invite anyone in the community to come through, whether they be students at OSU or families from the area. “If you are looking for something exciting Friday or Saturday nights please come by,” Schacter said with smile. “It’s for the kids. To be able raise a significant amount for an organization we work so closely with, and one that really deserves the donation as well, is an amazing feeling.” “Terror on 25th Street: Blood on the Bayou”
We had several people not make it through the house last year because they were too scared, and this year we are making it even scarier. Francisco Flores Co-Cordinator of the haunted house will be open to the public from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday, Oct. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 31. The house is located at 348 NW 25th St., Corvallis, OR. Admission to the haunted house is $5 per person, with all proceeds directly benefiting the Jackson Street Youth Shelter in Corvallis. news@dailybarometer.com
OSU to throw Halloween party on campus Annual Beaver Bash offers safe celebration By Sean Jacobs News Contributor
For many, Halloween is an eerie and mysterious time of the year. For OSU’s Diversity and Cultural Engagement and Student Leadership and Involvement organizations, there are greater risks than hazardous partying—losing the chance to share in this world tradition, our cultures with one another. OSU’s Diversity and Cultural Engagement center, along with the Student Leadership and Involvement group will be providing an
place for people to celebrate, it is about students sharing their worldly perspective with one another. “Its an option for students who don’t want to party and have no place else to go, just sitting in their dorm rooms, alone in their costumes” said Aimee Cannella. “I love Halloween,” said Anna Karleskind. “Always been way into it. Decorations, costumes, the works.” Karleskind maintains that although she has no qualms with the typical Corvallis nightlife, she is looking for more than just a party. “This term is super hectic for me and so many people have been coughing on campus and at work around me” Karleskind said. “It’s just
alternative array of activities for all students Oct. 31 from 7 p.m to1 p.m. in the Memorial Union. Food, exotic animals, a silent disco and a Halloween classics movie marathon are among the activities in store for the 2015 Halloween Beaver Bash. Robin Ryan, Associate Director of the Student Events and Activities Center stresses the importance of learning about other cultures through a collaborative effort. “Coming together as a community to share the traditions of death, dying, and the unknown,” Ryan said, is at the heart of the third annual beaver bash. This year’s “Bash” is about more than providing a safe
something new to do that wont set me back like a night of partying.” If nothing else, the Halloween Beaver Bash will be a safe place for students to enjoy themselves and get into the Halloween spirit into the late hours of night with friends and fellow classmates. Whether or not you plan on going out or staying in, your Oregon State University invites you to share take off your mask and stay a while— share your culture, get to know some rando’s, eat awesome free food, dance with headphones in and, spoiler alert, come kick it with an alligator. news@dailybarometer.com

The Retreat will be throwing a halloween party on Friday.
News Contributor “Trick or Retreat Halloween Bash” will be hosted at The Retreat this Friday to help raise money for the Boys and Girls Club. The event is expected to draw in a crowd of about 3,000 people. It is open to residents and non-residents of The Retreat. But the event sold out of tickets quickly, according to Parker Vernan, the leasing ambassador for The Retreat. Tickets sold out only after 52 minutes of being released. They ran out of tickets so fast that Vernan was not ready for the response after they sold out. “At first I was thinking ‘What

There will be performances by DJs NoFox, Parker Play and WillSTEP, with catering offered by the Early Bird Kitchen food truck. Vernan hopes The Retreat will create a safe environment where everyone can enjoy food and music to celebrate Halloween and support the Boys and Girls Club.

The Beavers have learned from their four Pac-12 losses. Will they beat the Utes? No, but it might be closer than you think. Utah’s running game will fuel a late surge, however, for a 31-13 win.
This might be the most lopsided game in the Pac-12 this year. The Beavers will keep the game close for a quarter, but Utah’s offensive and defensive prowess will dominate OSU all night long on their way to a 55-14 Utah win.

Beavers volleyball search for wins on the road Oregon State takes on Utah and Colorado By Michael Kiever Sports Contributor
The Oregon State volleyball team will hit the road again after a short stay in Corvallis. The Beavers will take on Colorado on Friday and Utah at on Sunday, and both games will be on the road. Colorado (13-9, 5-5) took the last game against OSU (4-16, 2-8 Pac-12), prevailing in a 3-0 sweep of the Beavers on Oct. 4. “One thing that Colorado did the first time we played them is that they attacked the ball really well,” said head coach Terry Liskevych. “We have to block better against Colorado, and we need to really serve tough.” Colorado is led by standout senior outside hitter Alexis
Austin and sophomore left handed setter Gabby Simpson, both of whom played well earlier in the season when OSU last played the Buffaloes. “We’ve got to stop Austin, who had a field day against us last time,” said Liskevych. “They have a lefty hitter and we replicated that in practice with our male managers who are lefty.” For the second game of this road trip, OSU will play a struggling Utah (7-14, 1-9) team. OSU defeated Utah 3-1 when they played on Oct. 2. “We won against Utah a few weeks ago,” junior outside hitter Lila Toner said. “We know their weaknesses, we know how to beat them.” Liskevych believes the key will be focusing on their own play, rather than adjusting to Utah’s game. “When you look at Utah on video, they use a different lineup every set they
play,” Liskevych said. “For that game, we just have to take our side of the net, forget about Utah and perform.” In preparation for the next two games, junior middle blocker Jessi Seumalo has continued refining her game. Seumalo had a season-high eight blocks against UCLA and is looking to build off of that performance. “I’m continuing on getting high on my blocks, because that’s what I feel is my strength,” Seumalo said. “I’ve been struggling with hitting, so trying to focus on blocking is a way I could help out with my team.” Seumalo feels confident heading into the weekend. “We have to start strong and stay strong throughout the game,” Seumalo said. “I definitely think these teams will be beatable for us.” The trip will be business as usual for OSU. The Beavers have already survived a
road trip that lasted for the entirety of their four-week preseason, where they played some of the top teams in the nation. The Beavers have already seen the worst of their schedule and can finally start to reap the benefits. “I’m glad we have travelled a lot and had a tough schedule,” said Toner. “It was hard, but at the same time it pushed us mentally.” The lessons learned from playing a grueling schedule so far may prove to be valuable for the Beavers going forward. “Against UCLA, we left everything there in the court and that’s what we’re going to do against Colorado and Utah,” Toner said. “Even though we’re tired and have negative stuff coming to us, we can still be mentally tough and win the game. We know how to be tough now.” On twitter @ @michaelkievaaa

Washington’s offense is their strong-suit, with a total of 15 goals and 1.5 per game.

Behind enemy lines: Beavers From:face a DAILY BAROMETER AD PROOF Utah team looking for a statement By Brian Rathbone Sports Editor
This week, Kimberly Brenneisen, assistant sports editor for the Daily Utah Chronical answers our questions about Saturday’s football matchup in Salt Lake City, Utah. Brian Rathbone: How has the team responded this week after suffering their first loss of the season? Kimberly Brenneisen: The Utes are definitely more focused for the remainder of the season. Before the USC game, while the players were not necessarily cocky, they may have been a little too relaxed and too confident. Even during the game they did not seem to worried about being down until it was too late to make a comeback. Now, after dropping 10 spots in the AP Poll, the players want to make a statement against the Beavers. They want people around the country to take them seriously and they do not want USC to beat them twice. They are working hard to get rid of that hangover and will come out full force and ready to get back on track. BR: With Kyle Whittingham’s name being thrown around as potentially taking the USC head coach job, has that been a distraction for the team? KB: Not really. Whittingham takes it as a compliment that his name is in the running for such a prestigious coaching job, but he’s completely focused on this team and this season. The team has saying, “All in or in the way,” and Whittingham more than embodies this. He does not pay any attention to distractions and expects the same out of his guys. He is taking the season one game at a time. Also, with how well Utah is performing right now compared to previous years in the Pac-12, nothing besides this current team is on his mind.

If we have not heard from you by: KB: I think there’s a little extra motivation, but at the same time the players are Date: ____________ Time: ____________ saying they are not even thinking twice Yourthey ad will run as shown. about it. They say the only thing that will really have to overcome is that the fact that Sitake knows the offensive players better than others and knows more of their strengths and weaknesses. Aside from that, the players are all just as focused as Whittingham and only once the game is over is when they will pay any attention on saying hi to their former coaches. BR: How important has it been to get Hunter Dimick back and healthy? KB: Dimick is one of the most important players on the defense and has been for a couple years now. He always goes the extra mile and is a force to be reckoned with. Although he is not really a very vocal leader, the way he goes about the game definitely influences those around him. Dimick knows what he is doing and his spot is hard to fill because of his experience and athleticism of getting to the quarterback. Although it is apparent that he will play this weekend, he needs to be at his best to give the defense an extra does of energy after a poor performance at USC. BR: How do you see this game shaking out? KB: I think the Utes bounce back and get the win, but it won’t be as everyone thinks. Oregon State desperately needs a win and the Utes are somewhat on the same boat, but they more or less need to prove that they are resilient. That they will not let one loss and get treated completely deter their entire season. That to savings on they can essentially withstand anything. It’ll uncannily be a close game where all sides of the ball great pizza! have to be in sync. The Utes will win 28-24.
Washington State (11-5, 4-4) winners of three straight games on the road, will come to Corvallis with a stout defense. The Cougar defense should prove to match though, as their starting goalkeeper, Ella Dederick, has saved 85 percent of the shots on-goal taken. “I think we just need to take a lot of shots,” Malone said. “Keep doing combos with each other and just get past them.” Winning both games this weekend would set Oregon State with an 8-7-3 record, potentially shooting them up the ranks. “Errors can be costly in this conference, and I think that’s definitely something we learned last week.” Rhode said. “Last week we definitely got punished in those areas, so we have to try to eliminate those types of mistakes.”

Les Paul Foundation hosts Halloween party at Phi Delta Theta Les Paul exhibit hopes to inspire, teach students By Molly Duddlesten News Contributor
Les Paul’s Big Sound Experience sponsored by the Les Paul Foundation is visiting OSU for the first time ever until Friday, Oct. 30. A massive 1,000 square foot trailer, located at Phi Delta Theta at OSU, houses a free interactive experience that teaches viewers about the Les Paul Foundation and Les Paul himself. Les Paul, a well-known guitarist and musician, was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar and worked incredibly hard to perfect his craft, despite many setbacks. Founded in 1995 by Paul himself, the Les Paul

Foundation is a non-profit organization that travels to schools and awards grants to struggling music departments and establishes music-related scholarships for students. “The Les Paul Foundation aims to inspire innovative and creative thinking by sharing the legacy of Les Paul through supporting music education, engineering and innovation,” said Jeff Salmon, a trustee of
the Les Paul Foundation. While perusing the exhibit and learning about this incredible individual, a viewer may wonder: “What didn’t this guy do?” This exhibit makes it so students can learn about a broad spectrum of Les Paul’s life, from his path to music to all the organizations he was a part of throughout his incredibly eventful life, all while participating in interactive activities such as creating your own multitrack and “new sounds.” One of the greatest parts of the Les Paul Foundation is that it isn’t specifically geared towards one type of person. “Whether you’re tone deaf or musically inclined, (this exhibit) empowers you to want to do something”, Salmon stated. The Les Paul Foundation experience has been open since Oct. 28 and will con-

Students can stop by Phi Delta Theta to enter the raffle on Friday, Oct. 30 from 12 p.m.to 8 p.m. The winner will be announced at 8 p.m. on Friday at the event. Stop by the Halloween Weekend Kickoff Party to hear great music from fresh, budding artists. As said by Les Paul himself, “I want sounds that have never been heard on earth. I want new sounds.” Phi Delta Theta is located on 120 NW 13th St. For more information on the Les Paul Foundation, go to www.lespaulfoundation.org or find them on Facebook under Les Paul Foundation news@dailybarometer.com.

As for Miles, his ghostly encounter had a decidedly earthly explanation. “The sound ended up just being from the heaters,” Miles said. “They’re old and make a lot of noise when they’re running.” The story of Sackett Hall is a part of OSU’s culture and history, but the question of whether or not a ghost exists matters very little in comparison to the fact that a young woman tragically lost her life. As frightening as a ghost story may be, the reality of what happened is far worse. This is one story in which the truth really is scarier than fiction.
Robichaud said. Over all, Halloween is a time to celebrate. But just like the discount candy that many people will be enjoying, Halloween celebration is great in moderation. The university and Vice President of University Relations and Marketing Steve Clark are working to maintain a fun and safe Halloween weekend. “I would ask our students and our community residents and our employees to be a good community member,” Clark said. “Celebrate safely and take good care of the community you live in.”
