PSU PC’S SHUT DOWN A bad virus protection update from McAfee shut down computers worldwide Virginia Vickery Vanguard staff

A faulty software update released yesterday morning by McAfee, a company that provides computer virus protection services, caused computers to be shut down around the world, including many at Portland State.

The update caused the anti-virus software to detect a “false positive” after it was downloaded onto computers. It deleted a Windows file essential to the operating system’s functions, according to Sharon Blanton, chief information officer of the Office of Information Technologies.

“This file was bad—it caused McAfee to look at a file that belongs in Windows’ system and view it as basically a bad guy,” Blanton said.

was made as a self-preservation mechanism. Some computers were sent into a continuous loop of booting up and then shutting down again, Blanton said.

“Thousands [of computers] could have been affected but we stopped the antivirus updates as soon as we realized what was happening,” Blanton said. “OIT-managed labs and classrooms were hit.”

Macintosh computers were unaffected by the event.

A software fix was released later in the day by McAfee, which Blanton said OIT was testing on a handful of computers yesterday afternoon at about 3 p.m.

“We have already successfully applied a fix to a test group of computers. We will continue to roll the fix throughout the night,” Blanton said late yesterday.

About 750 computers were slated to receive the fix last night.

McAfee issues periodical routine updates, which are grabbed by servers that pass them along to the thousands of computers at PSU, Blanton said. Various news outlets report that the update error only

After approximately 15 months of planning, Portland State will replace its former paper-based billing system with an electronic one next month.

Eric Blumenthal, director of PSU Business Affairs, said students will still be able to pay online via Banweb. However, under the new system, students will receive an e-mail notification that their bill is ready. Once available, students can follow a link to the Luminis portal, located on www.my.pdx.edu, where they can download their bill as a PDF file.

Blumenthal said that the primary motivation for the shift to electronic billing was to save costs.

“We’re really in a budget-reduction mode,” he said. “[With electronic billing] we don’t have to print the bills, we don’t have to pay the postage.”

In order to implement the system, Business Affairs only had to pay the Internet technology staff, as well as purchase the product, Evisions, which is used to create the electronic bills. The one-time cost totaled $50,000, Blumenthal said.

Business Affairs expects the new billing system to save the university $120,000 annually, according to Angela Bostock, assistant director of Business Affairs.

In addition, Blumenthal said the system will respect the “sustainability efforts on campus.”

Over 28,000 students attend PSU, and every term each student receives a paper bill in the mail. By

replacing the current system with electronic billing, Business Affairs will conserve a substantial amount of paper, as well as eliminate the environmental impact of physical delivery.

According to Blumenthal, Business Affairs is hoping to have the new system fully implemented on May 15, the first day of the next billing cycle.

Less waste and money: Paperless billing implemented to ease costs and environmental burden.

Business Affairs has chosen to implement it in May in order to make the transition sooner.

“By [May] most of the spring term students should have paid their bills,” Blumenthal said.

He said the new electronic billing system has “been one of the strategic initiatives for three or four years,” and has been in the making well before he or Bostock assumed the positions they currently hold at PSU. The system was not implemented sooner because students were not required to have pdx.edu e-mail addresses until October 2009, Blumenthal said.

However, now that every PSU student must have a school e-mail account, Business Affairs will send out an e-mail informing students that their statements are ready for viewing, he said.

According to Bostock, “It’ll be easier to get your statement” because students can follow a link rather than maneuver through Banweb.

In addition, students will not need to wait for a paper bill to come through the mail because students, parents and businesses can view it online as soon as it is available, she said.

According to Bostock, the new bill format should also be easier to read. The classes in which a student is enrolled will appear at the top, and charges and credits will appear below, in two separate columns.

“Its really better for parents and students,” Blumenthal said.

NEWS New sustainability leader coming to PSU Ecological and economic scholar appointed director of CSP2 Robert Seitzinger Vanguard staff

Robert Costanza was named as the director of the Center for Sustainable Processes and Practices and will assume his new position at Portland State this fall.

Established in 2006, CSP2 administers the $25 million James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation grant, according to the center’s website. Professor John Gordon, who has acted as interim director, said he is excited to work with Costanza. “[Costanza is] widely known as a leading scholar in ecological economics,” Gordon said.

Costanza is currently the director of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont. He holds a doctorate in systems ecology from the University of Florida, and was previously the director for the University of Maryland Institute for Ecological Economics.

“I’m very excited to come to PSU. I view it as an opportunity to change higher education and address sustainable practices for the better,” Costanza said. “This will give us

a venue for ongoing discussion of solutions. There’s been a lot of ink on sustainability problems, but not a lot on solutions.”

Costanza is also the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Solutions, a nonprofit publication focusing on environmental, social and political issues, according to its website.

He said the editorial office will be moving to Portland and that it “has a lot of direct connections to the sustainability agenda at the center.”

“I’ve had a lot of experience with living laboratories [and] have contacts around the world that could help enhance that concept at PSU,” he said.

Gordon said that Costanza’s leadership of CSP2 “has the potential to transform PSU to the next level of excellence in sustainability research, teaching and outreach,” and that the Miller grant and the center’s location “in the ‘living laboratory’ that Portland and its environs provide are an additional and important reason to expect great progress.”

Costanza has also served as president of the International Society for Ecological Economics and was an editor of its journal, Ecological Economics. Costanza said he will likely remain a fellow with the Gund Institute while leading CSP2, in addition to his fellowships with the Stockholm Resilience

Center and the National Council on Science and the Environment.

“Attracting a person of Bob’s stature signals that the approach we have taken is a good one,” said Provost Roy Koch in a press release.

“We look forward to him joining us in the fall.”

The search for a permanent director of CSP2 yielded dozens of candidates nationwide, according to CSP2 fellow David Ervin, who is also an economics and environmental management professor.

Ervin said Costanza’s interdisciplinary approach to issues will benefit PSU and will “fit in well with Provost Koch and President [Wim] Wiewel.”

“I think he will be a tremendous asset and I’m really excited about him coming here,” Ervin said, “I think he’ll be able to attract national and international students and faculty…he’s the kind of person who will embrace Portland culture [and] the PSU motto to let knowledge serve the city.”

Earth Day festival today Student-organized festival promoting sustainability Sharon Rhodes Vanguard staff

Today, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., Students for Leadership in Ecology, Culture and Learning, the Portland State University Environmental Club and the Sustainability Leadership Center are throwing an Earth Day festival in the PSU Park Blocks.

PJ Houser, the Environmental Club coordinator and a senior majoring in environmental studies, said that the students and organizations involved wanted “to actually do sustainability, to show sustainability in action.”

PSU’s Environmental Club hosts an Earth Day party annually, but this year Students for Leadership in Ecology, Culture and Learning and the Sustainability Leadership Center partnered with them, Houser said.

According to Houser, “the SLECL wanted to make an interactive festival to create sustainability education.”

All three groups “wanted to reach the greater campus community with an interactive demonstration of sustainability in action,” she said.

“PSU Earth Day 2010 is the culmination of a full week of

‘Sustainability in Action’: Studentled sustainability projects across the city,” according to Portland State's website.

In addition to hosting the Earth Day festival in the Park Blocks, students have planted gardens at Portland public schools, organized a sustainability bike tour, and planned a series of eco-documentary film screenings for Saturday, April 24, at the Fifth Avenue Cinema.

Among their goals, Houser said the Environmental Club, the SLECL and the SLC hope that the Earth Day festival will educate students and the general public about sustainability and increase enthusiasm among the already informed.

They also want “to address real campus issues with sustainable development projects [and] contribute in aligning campus groups in discussion, collaboration and celebration,” Houser said.

The first event scheduled is a campus sustainability tour, which will meet at the cob oven between Smith Memorial Student Union and Neuberger Hall. Tours will run between 10 and 11 a.m. and again in the afternoon from 2–3 p.m.

At noon, Alan Durning will speak. He is the founder of the Sightline Institute—a research and communication center—based in Seattle and author of a number of books including This Place on

Celebrating Earth: Organizers of the event want to inform and inspire.

Earth 2001: Guide to a Sustainable Northwest (2001), will give a speech.

From 12–4 p.m., students will demonstrate how to cook in a cob oven, an oven made of an adobe-like mixture of clay, straw and sand.

Six bands will perform throughout the day: The Soul

Mechanics, Morning Teleportation, Luck One, Sudden Anthem, Off the Grid and Everyday Prophets.

Houser said, “We all bring unique and much-needed skills to the table, and are all ignorant in some area. Let’s learn and share and create a better world together!”

Lee resigned, McClain cleared

Ron Lee

J-board dismissed charges against McClain, accepted Lee's resignation Vinh Tran Vanguard staff

Ron Lee resigned from the Student Fee Committee after months of impeachment and the mediation proceedings.

On April 9, the ASPSU Judicial Board issued a letter explaining that there was no evidence that McClain, president of Portland State’s PreLaw Society, embezzled funds for the group.

Former Student Fee Committee member Ron Lee, who was also a former member of the Pre-Law Society, accused McClain after she failed to report his membership payment.

The incident gained traction after the PLS’ academic advisor and philosophy professor, Kevin Hill, took up correspondence with Lee via e-mail. In the e-mail, Lee accused Hill of intimidation and threatened to have Hill, a lawyer, disbarred.

Hill has since resigned as advisor for the PLS. Impeachment charges were then brought against Lee by Senator P.V. Jantz, who claimed Lee abused his power as an SFC member and caused damage to a student group’s reputation.

In the letter issued by J-board chair Brad Vehafric, the board found that it was within the purview of Lee

to inquire about deposits of funds by an SFC student group. The board also cleared McClain of any financial mismanagement.

“The Constitutional and Judicial Review Board has also unanimously accepted the resignation of Ron,” Vehafric said in an e-mail.

McClain said she is satisfied with the outcome but recognized that the impeachment process could have gone better.

issue in a long time.

“I think that the university administrators need to step up and help mitigate allegations like this instead of just students,” McClain said. “I believe they would be able to do things more by the book.”

Domanic Thomas, Students Activities and Leadership Programs advisor for ASPSU, said he believes the entire impeachment process should have been avoided from the

“I believe that there were a lot of people who had gotten involved that shouldn’t have been involved—at some point, everyone was out for blood,” McClain said.

“I believe that there were a lot of people who had gotten involved that shouldn’t have been involved—at some point, everyone was out for blood,” McClain said.

Since the impeachment process first became public, Lee received criticism from several members of the PLS and the J-board on its listserv. McClain also recalls an unpleasant encounter with Lee where he intimidated her so much that she had to file a report with the Campus Public Safety Office.

According to McClain, the impeachment process did not go as smoothly as it could have because ASPSU had not dealt with such an

start as it presents the students involved and ASPSU in a poor light.

“As far as the outcomes, the positives do not outweigh the negatives,” Thomas said. “The only positive outcome is that it makes people more aware and hopefully leads to [a] better and more objective process in the future.”

As a pre-law hopeful, Lee is required to disclose all details about making allegations against McClain upon taking the bar exam in order to become a lawyer.

“Even though I was wrongfully accused by Ron, I do feel sorry for him because this is going to follow him for the rest of his career,” McClain said. “I

wish him the best of luck with his law school future, but this is going to make it really hard for him.”

McClain also said she is forever affected by the incident as well.

Although she was cleared of any wrongdoings, McClain said she is required to disclose the incident to the bar, which will then proceed with an investigation which can take up to one year.

“I’m going to have to apply early for the board and they’re going to investigate [the incident] before I can be admitted,” McClain said.

“Normally people apply their sophomore and junior year [of law school], but because of this I have to start my freshman year.”

Lee declined to comment as of press time.

McClain said she has planned to continue her involvement with ASPSU by applying to be a chief justice for next year’s J-board. She also started a new student group, Portland Animal Welfare, which will serve as a resource for students with animals. The group was recently approved by SALP. “I’m really excited—law is going to be my career but animals are really my passion,” McClain said.

After months of accusations, Ashley McClain said she is happy to shift her focus back to school work, with a new goal of finishing her prerequisites for the School of Business Administration.

McClain and the PLS will be on hand when the chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court speaks on campus on May 7, an event they will help put together.

Beatrice Morrow Cannady, Oregon civil rights activist A Force for Change, written by Kimberley Mangun, is the first full-length study of the life and work of African American journalist Beatrice Morrow Cannady, according to a press release.

On Friday, April 23, Mangun will give a presentation at Portland State about Morrow Cannady, who was a prominent Oregon civil rights activist that pushed for better race relations in the first half of the 19th century.

According to the release, the biography examines her interaction with the period’s African American leaders, artists and intellectuals, such as W.E.B Du Bois, Langston Hughes, Roland Hayes and James Weldon Johnson.

In addition, the biography reveals ‘the black experience in Oregon’ and the crucial role African Americans played throughout the state’s history, according to the press release.

Mangun is currently a professor at the University of Utah’s department of communication.

However, before earning her Ph.D. at the University of Oregon, Mangun worked for alternative media publications as a magazine publisher and as a freelance writer. Her articles have been published in American Journalism, Oregon Historical Quarterly, Pacific Northwest Quarterly and African American National Biography.

Mangun’s presentation is part of the Positive Cross-Cultural Collaboration Speaker Series, which is funded through the Diversity Action Council in the Office of Diversity and Equity at PSU. The presentation will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at 338 Smith Memorial Student Union. The event is open to the public.

remember the little things Newspace Gallery hosts two shows detailing the tiny moments that make up life Roger Wightman Vanguard staff

This April seems to be family month at galleries across town.

Newspace Center for Photography is no different, with both of this month’s shows capturing the artists’ children growing, playing and just being kids.

New Jersey photographer Elizabeth Fleming’s newest exhibit and first-ever Oregon show is titled Life Is a Series of Small Moments, which documents Fleming’s children growing up.

Portland photographer Bryan Wolf has a similarly-themed exhibit

titled The Peaceful Outdoors. Both accomplished photographers in their own right, Fleming and Wolf ’s work complement each other well as a reflection on our own childhoods, the process of growing up, and the simple things that make life beautiful.

Newspace Center for Photography is not your typical photo gallery. It functions as an end-all, be-all for photographers and lovers of photography.

Functioning both as a resource center for photographers and as a gallery space for enthusiasts, Newspace stands out as an organization truly devoted to promoting photography and helping emerging artists achieve their goals.

Running as a non-profit, Newspace is also a photography school, teaching over 35 courses per quarter ranging from

beginning to advanced, from technical to the mundane. The Newspace gallery exhibits artists both emerging and renowned on a monthly basis, allowing a plethora of varieties of photography to grace its walls.

Fleming is entirely East Coast.

Born in Philadelphia, educated in St. Louis, trained in Brooklyn and now a mother living in New Jersey, Fleming’s images stick out as being entirely relatable. By capturing images of life as it actually happens we find that a more heightened sense of humanity is present in her work.

The idea was to capture the things that a normal parent would never photograph. Things like a pee stain, frizzy hair or a mess left in the kitchen sink. Reflecting on the small things, Fleming is able to paint the bigger picture of what actually makes up the majority of our lives. Moments

that a parent would surely forget are the moments most precious to Fleming’s work—whether it is the simple ruffling of a used bed or the left-open refrigerator—these are things we should never forget.

A similar story can be told of Wolf ’s work—it too is a reflection and an attempt to capture the little things. Wolf ’s work, however, is more aimed at addressing these moments within the outdoors, correlating the peacefulness of nature with the peacefulness of family time.

Wolf has a clear mark on the Portland photography world, serving as a participant of Photolucida and the Portland Grid Project as well as founder of Portland photography group Lightleak. His photos document the curiosity provoked by nature, the world of backyards and the joy of family time.

While a majority of Portland art shows choose to showcase works that cater to a younger and hipper crowd, Newspace’s April exhibits offer something unique and engaging. Both exhibits provide content that is clever and crisp, reminding us to savor every moment not just the ones that stand out.

small band, big XDS packs an explosive sound into their small lineup Scott Ostlund Vanguard staff

The phrase “experimental dental school” may bring up reminders of braces, talky orthodontists or unethical World War II practices, but drop that sentence around the Portland music community and listeners will be quick to point at the local band, which recently shortened its name to XDS. Led by Jesse Hall, XDS will play tonight at Holocene with four albums and 11 releases in all. The band has lived internationally and has produced in other countries including Japan, Portugal and Australia.

“Over a period of three weeks we fasted on oranges and wrote the bulk of four albums,” Hall said. “Shoko [Horikawa] and our cat Honey Bunny stay at home and act as silent writers, like that crazy guy from the Beach Boys. At first it was about creativity and discipline...now it is all business and partying. I have a new drummer playing most of the shows. His name is Ben Tyler. Currently I am really having fun doing this.”

The music is ambitious, which takes after the band’s experiences and hopes for the future. As they look for more shows and travel opportunities, XDS has taken to recording another album featuring live talent and layering.

“We are making a new record... live electronic music, live looping,” Hall said. “A new guitar is being built for me by Dan Bjorkie (Trade Up Music) that has four outputs and can play four amplifiers at once as well as a foot synthesizer.”

The band has been a duo since the beginning in 2005, but with drummer Horikawa on hiatus Tyler has filled in. Live, the band fills a venue with mixed sounds and looped parts which more than make up for less manpower. Holocene, which is known for dynamic shows and experiential performances, is a venue that fits XDS well.

Tonight XDS will share the stage with Brainstorm and Total Bros.

Brainstorm and Total Bros are also duo bands from Portland, yet the groups contrast well with XDS. Each has an abstract presence, which differentiates them from other local talent.

Tonight’s Holocene show is just the beginning for XDS as they set their

sound

sights on releasing their new album and chasing down new performance experiences.

“Hopefully we will go back to Japan, Europe, maybe Russia if things work out,” Hall said.

Those experiences will come in large part to the high amount of Portland shows the band has done, including previous shows at Holocene. With artistic influences such as Paul Thomas Anderson (director of There Will Be Blood) and Zach Galifianakis, you can anticipate a wide-ranging show spurring from both musicianship and life experiences.

“I am looking forward to loud sounds and projected films,” Hall said. “Grainy mechanical sounds with gentle pop songs...a light show.

Smiling people…come out, it’s a Wednesday! Pretend like you have nothing to do the next day.”

By combining the electro layering of XDS, and the lights and video combination of Holocene, Hall’s hopes will be exactly what audience members receive at tonight’s show.

Whether there are Thursday plans in store or not, tonight’s ticket at Holocene looks to be a great opportunity to hear from some dynamic indie duos in the Northwest.

Spring into that frosty mug Tasty spring seasonal beers around town

Vanguard Arts & Culture | 5 April 22, 2010

This day in history: April 22

Bianca Blankenship Vanguard staff

In 1509, Henry VIII became King of England following the death of his father, Henry VII.

April showers do indeed bring May flowers, but April also brings some much-deserved attention to the craft of brewing. This is the time that breweries release their spring seasonals. Some are repeats of previous years, some are new to the palate, and most are worth a try. Here are some of the best spring seasonal brews that can be found locally.

In 1707, novelist Henry Fielding was born in Sharpham Park, Somerset, England.

In 1864, Congress authorized the use of the phrase "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins.

Ninkasi: Spring Reign Ale Ninkasi doesn’t skimp on strong flavors in their Red and IPAs, so it’s no surprise that their Spring Reign Ale is a bit of a kick in the tongue for a spring seasonal. Like most spring seasonals, it’s flowery and tangy, but this one throws in an extra dose of hops. It’s good for the warmer spring days to come.

Upright: Flora Rustica Just over a year old, Upright has already made a name for itself.

Responses to their brews are either ones of amazement or confusion.

The brewery certainly toys with unusual flavors and puts different spins on Belgian beers. Flora Rustica is a saison-style beer that’s light and tangy. The addition of calendula flower adds a sweetness to it that’s interesting and out of the ordinary.

Oakshire: O’Dark:30 Beer lovers have been raving about this Cascadian dark ale, also known as a black IPA. It’s unusual to see a brewery put out dark beer for a spring seasonal, but the black IPA has become increasingly popular with Oregon brewers over the past year. Like any IPA, it’s fairly hoppy and sharp, but Oakshire complements the ale with hints of chocolate and coffee.

Deschutes: Twilight Summer Ale The Twilight Summer Ale isn’t exactly a spring seasonal, but it’s already hitting store shelves and its name deserves a mention. This beer supplies everything that a hot summer day requires: It balances sweet and bitter flavors just right.

Deschutes comes around with this fruity, crisp ale every year and it has yet to disappoint.

Laurelwood: Altenberg Lager Laurelwood comes out this week with its Altenburg Lager, a new spring seasonal in an old German style.

Laurelwood brewer Hans Gauger visited Germany last year to learn about drying malts over an open fire.

The process lends the malts a smoky flavor that adds complexity to the beer. The lager is sure to be one of the most unique spring seasonal releases.

Alameda Brewhouse: Beaumont Bock Lager The Beaumont Bock Lager is another German-style beer, but without the smokiness of the Altenburg. It’s a darker ale that’s equally bitter and sweet, reminiscent of a dark chocolate bar.

In 1944, during World War II, U.S. forces began invading Japanese-held New Guinea with amphibious landings at Hollandia and Aitape.

Roots: Organic East Side Abbey Ale The five different malts used to make this Belgian Abbey ale give it a mild sweetness that offsets its tart flavor.

It’s much milder than most Belgian beers, and certainly less alcoholic, making it a light, drinkable summer beer.

In 1954, the televised Senate Army-McCarthy hearings began.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson opened the New York World's Fair.

Double Mountain: Empire Strikes Back IPA

In 1970, millions of Americans concerned about the environment observed the first Earth Day.

Using all English malt and hops, this beer was crafted for Double Mountain’s anniversary this spring. It’s a pretty thick beer that goes heavy on the malt and has a spiciness that’s due to the English hops used.

It isn’t as hoppy as most IPAs, which can be a relief to those wary of Portland’s highly hoppy brews.

In 1983, the West German news magazine Stern announced the discovery of 60 volumes of personal diaries purportedly written by Adolf Hitler.

However, the diaries turned out to be a hoax.

In 1994, Richard M. Nixon, the 37th president of the United States, died at a New York hospital four days after suffering a stroke. He was 81.

In 2000, in a dramatic pre-dawn raid, armed immigration agents seized Elian Gonzalez from his relatives' home in Miami. Elian was later reunited with his father at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington.

Assistant track coach hired Cassie Stilley was hired as an assistant track and field coach in March and, along with distance coach Kevin Jeffers, has been a huge part of the recent success of the distance team since her hiring. Stilley brings more than nine years of collegiate coaching experience to the Park Blocks.

Stilley comes to Portland State from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., where she coached four individual sprint champions and oversaw the men’s 4x100 relay team to a North Coast Athletic Conference Championship. She also handled all equipment inventory duties, along with coordinating workouts for sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers and middle distance.

From 2006–08, Stilley was a graduate assistant at Frostburg State and coached two All-Americans, a Division III national qualifier and eight conference champions in sprints, jumps and hurdles.

She got her start in coaching at Christopher Newport College where she coached for five seasons. Stilley coached the Captains' distance program and had 11 conference champions in the 800 and 1,500-meters.

During home meets, Stilley would also monitor all the event staff.

As an athlete, Stilley competed at North Carolina State for the cross-country and track programs.

She was a member of the cross-country team’s 1997 and 1998 ACC Championships and also won a championship as a part of the distance medley relay team.

Individually, Stilley finished fifth in the 800-meters (outdoors) and eighth in the mile (indoors) at the ACC Championships.

Golf tied for first at Spring soccer Big Sky Championship brings goal Tanya Shiffer Vanguard staff

Britney Yada Freshman Third place +3 (71–76=147)

Stephanie Johns Senior Fourth place (tie) +4 (75–73=148) Tiffany Schoning Sophomore Eighth place (tie) +5 (75–74=149)

The second day of the Big Sky Golf Championship has been a good one for the Portland State women’s golf team. After finishing the first day of competition in second place on Monday, the Vikings moved into a two-way tie with Northern Arizona University for first place on Tuesday.

Portland State led the nine-team pack on day two of the three-day event with a combined 296 strokes, and the Vikings’ first-day score of 295 was just one stroke over Northern Arizona.

After Tuesday, there are just 18 more holes left to play in the conference championship at the Ocotillo Golf Club, a 72-par course in Chandler, Ariz. The winner of the championship will advance to the NCAA Regional Tournament on May 5–8.

The Vikings tallied two of the best back-to-back rounds in school history, and are vying for their fifth Big Sky Golf Championship title in eight years. Portland State took

the title for three years straight in 2003–05 and then again in 2008. The Vikings finished last season in fifth place in the conference.

Individual standings show the five competing Vikings within the top 12 of the tournament. Freshman Britney Yada leads Portland State with a twoday score of 147 (71–76) and holds the third-place position out of 45 players.

Yada is eight shots behind Northern Arizona freshman Stephanie Kim, who leads with 139 shots (69–70).

Contributions from the rest of the Vikings have pushed the team into its current position at the top of the charts. Senior Stephanie Johns moved from a tie for eighth in the first round into a four-way tie for fourth after round two with her score of 148 (75–73). Tuesday’s one-over par finish is a season-best for Johns.

Sophomore Tiffany Schoning is tied for eighth place after coming back from a quadruple bogey to finish two-over par on Tuesday and a two-day score of 149 (75–74).

Junior Alexia Brown tied her season-best score of 74 on Monday and is in 11th place with a score of 151 (74–77). Junior Kalyn Dodge shot a season-best of her own on Tuesday with 73 strokes, and ended Tuesday in a four-way tie for 12th place with a score of 152 (79–73).

Athletics department holds public forums NCAA recertification prompts self-study Robert Britt Vanguard staff

Portland State held the first of two open forums yesterday to measure public opinion of the school’s athletics program, but saw little student participation.

Representatives were available for four hours to provide information and accept suggestions as to how the university could improve its intercollegiate sports programs, but by the end of the forum few names appeared on the sign-in sheet and just two written opinions were given.

The forums are part of a twoyear evaluation and recertification process required of all schools in the National Collegiate Athletics Association. Every 10 years, each of the NCAA’s member institutions is required to review its athletics program and gauge performance and progress in areas specifically designated by the NCAA. The process involves a self-study, a peer review and a campus visit before the NCAA’s Committee on Athletics Certification ultimately

delivers a ruling. According to the NCAA, the purpose of the recertification is to maintain integrity in athletics programs and to assist schools in improving their programs.

Portland State is currently finalizing its self-study report before submitting it at the end of the month. The school focused its study on academic and financial integrity, commitment and compliance to NCAA rules, gender and ethnic equity as well as student welfare and sportsmanship.

According to Chip Lazenby, the university’s general counsel, the recertification process is structured so the university can identify potential deficiencies and implement plans of action to make improvements in those areas.

Athletic Director Torre Chisholm said the self-study has, so far, been an issue of fine-tuning Portland State’s athletics program. He believes the principal recommendation to the Intercollegiate Athletics Board is to increase the level of participation in sports.

Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator Barbara Dearing echoed Chisholm’s recommendation. She said an

issue identified by the gender equity portion of the study that will have the largest impact is the disproportionate level of ability for female student-athletes to participate.

Dearing said the university is looking to have the percentage of females in the athletic programs mirror the percentage of female students attending the school, and that one recommendation is to consider adding another female sport.

Other recommendations made to improve student-athlete quality of life are to improve athletic facilities and increase scholarship and financial aid opportunities.

The next step in the recertification process begins on April 30, when NCAA officials will begin reviewing the school’s self-study report. The Committee on Athletics Certification will begin a review of the report in July and a peer-review team comprised of presidents and athletic directors from other NCAA-member schools will visit the campus in the fall.

The second public forum will be held tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Smith Memorial Student Union, room 294. Students and staff are invited to attend and ask questions or offer suggestions.

Vikings lose to Seattle Pacific Nilesh Tendolkar Vanguard staff

During the spring offseason scrimmages, Portland State soccer has had difficulty regaining the goal-scoring touch that helped the team win the Big Sky regular season championship last fall. In a match against Division II Seattle Pacific at the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation on Saturday, the Vikings fell 4–1.

Sophomore Megan Martin scored the lone goal for Portland State off of an assist from junior Kala Renard. The Viks are coming off a hard-fought 3–0 loss to NCAA favorite Portland and a 1–0 defeat

by Seattle over the last two weeks.

Last year's Big Sky Coach of the Year, Laura Schott, said the goal in the offseason is to keep getting better and work toward fall tournaments.

Last season, the Vikings amassed a 10–6–4 record and scored 25 goals, almost half of which came from outgoing senior Dolly Enneking, the Big Sky Golden Boot winner and Offensive MVP. Her attacking partner and 2008 Golden Boot winner, Frankie Ross has often played on the right this season. This spring, the Vikings have managed to score just one goal from their three outings so far.

“We have been talking about who is going to step up and be the goal scorer for us this season,” team captain and senior Rachel Jarvis said.

“Hopefully we will figure it out in the next spring games and the summer.

We have some really good forwards on the team.”

The Vikings have also been forced to play with a makeshift defense for most of their spring season.

“We will be missing at least one of our returning defenders for almost every game in the spring. We are playing without our lower back,” Schott said in an earlier interview.

Without outgoing seniors, Defensive MVP and goalkeeper Chris Lewis and defensive midfielder Nathalie Wollmann, the Vikings have conceded eight goals in three games in the offseason.

Next up for the Vikings is the Portland State Alumni game at 5 p.m. on May 1 at the Stott Community Field.

POP CULTURE ARTS & CULTURE Dinner that tastes like it's been smoked on the barbecue Katherine Vetrano Vanguard staff

As warmer days sneak onto our calendar, many of us will be cranking up the grills and letting our food get crispy on the outside with just a kiss of smoke. Unfortunately, some of us are stuck in apartment buildings or dorms with no barbeque to enjoy (or we just can’t afford it. Those things are pretty expensive).

Not to fear, all the work can be done within your own oven. Here’s a recipe, inspired by one found on the Whole Foods website, that tastes like it’s from the grill, but you can make it in the luxury of your own home.

Grilling

without

the grill Spicy Pig and Pineapple Tacos Ingredients 1 lb pork tenderloin 5 or 6 key limes 1 onion 1 large handful of cilantro 1 fresh pineapple or 2 or 3 cans, drained corn or whole wheat tortillas chili powder salt Sriracha

Method

A tangier take on the classic Pico de Gallo, this recipe calls for tomatillos, which can be found in most grocery stores.

Ingredients 1 lb tomatillos 1 large handful of cilantro juice from 5–6 key limes 1 teaspoon of sugar red pepper flakes 1 garlic clove

Method Remove papery layer from tomatillos and dice into small pieces. Finely chop cilantro, as well as the garlic clove. Place tomatillos, cilantro and garlic in a bowl. Add limejuice, sugar and red pepper flakes and taste so the meal heat and tartness are both to your liking. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for 30 minutes to overnight, and serve with tacos, eggs, or tortilla chips.

Dios Mio Cocktail Enjoy this one on a hot day with your favorite Mexican meal.

Ingredients 1 ice-cold Mexican beer (Corona, Dos Equis, Negra Modelo, Tecate,etc.) ½ ounce of Bacardi Limon 1 lime 1 ounce of tequila, any variety

Method Pour beer into a tall glass (or concoct inside a Corona bottle).

Add Bacardi, tequila and juice from the lime. Enjoy ice cold with spicy food.

Slice pork tenderloin vertically into thin strips.

Set aside.

Chop pineapple, making sure not to include the tough center, or alternatively, drain cans of pineapple, saving the juice for another recipe. Slice onion into large wedges.

Line a baking sheet with tin foil and preheat your broiler to high.

Add pineapple and onions to baking sheet, and let it broil for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally when the fruits and veggies start to get brown.

While pineapple cooks, finely chop cilantro and lime wedges.

When pineapple and onions are nicely browned, remove from the oven and put in a large bowl and cover with tin foil.

Add pork to the same baking sheet, sprinkle with chili powder, salt and lime juice. Broil for 8–10 minutes, being careful not to overcook it.

While pork cooks, put a stove burner on very low heat. Char each tortilla, a minute or so per side, until a nice brown starts to appear and the tortilla softens a bit. Stack on a plate and cover with a paper towel.

When pork is finished, take out of the oven and squeeze with the juice from several limes.

Build each taco with pineapple, pork and onions. Serve with Sriracha, fresh cilantro, lime wedges and Tangy Green Salsa.

Vanguard Arts & Culture | 8 April 22, 2010

Tonight at the NW Film Center Victoria Day David Bezmozgis, U.S. 2009 "Life is good for Toronto teenager Ben Spektor. The girl he likes might just be interested, his hockey team is playoff-bound, and his idol Bob Dylan is coming to town.

He even gets along with his sometimestaciturn Russian émigré father and peacekeeping mother.

Then, an awkward loan of just $5 to a friend sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to upset his idyllic existence. The sobering repercussions of seemingly innocent actions force Ben to self-discovery and the realization that the world is not entirely his oyster. Bezmozgis' coming-of-age story set in 1980s Canada is told with a wit and wisdom that insightfully entertains."

7 p.m.
