Anti Trans Activist Riley Gaines met with Protest on the Park Blocks
The event was hosted by the PSU Chapter of Turning
Point USA
Anti Trans, Political Activist and Former College Athletic Swimmer Riley Gaines was invited to the Portland State University campus on May 5 by the PSU chapter of the conservative group, Turning Point USA. Prior to the event’s 6:30 p.m. start time, protestors gathered in front of the entrances to Smith Memorial Student Union (SMSU).
Five arrests were made in relation to the protest. According to a source familiar with the matter, two of those arrests have been confirmed to be PSU students.
Campus Public Safety Office (CPSO) coordinated with SMSU building administrators to close the building to general student access prior to and after the event. According to building administrators on scene, this was due to safety concerns of people
being “ghosted” into the building. Private event security were stationed at various entrances to SMSU, with Gaines being escorted by private security.
The event took place on the third floor of SMSU in the Smith Ballroom. Originally, only the third floor was going to have restricted access to event ticket holders. During the event, PSU Vanguard was notified by CPSO on scene that the building was going to be closed for the rest of the evening and would return to regular operating hours May 6.
“I’m a big supporter of Riley Gaines,” said Aimee Reiner, a Politician and Former Republican Candidate for the Oregon State Legislature. “I am a former Division I collegiate athlete. So being that she’s advocating for women in women’s
spaces and women’s sports—and when I talk women I’m talking biological women, that’s important to me.”
The speaking engagement was attended by people from all over Oregon who wished to express their support for Gaines. Gaines’ presence on campus likewise brought PSU students out to the Park Blocks to protest the Turning Point USA event.
“We are here to stand for trans rights and stand against antitrans rhetoric,” said Finn Cunningham, a PSU Student, associated with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
Graffiti written on the Broadway entrance doors to SMSU read statements such as “Save a trans girl, shoot a TERF [Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist]” and “F*ck Riley.”
The graffiti was removed by the following day.

Riley Gaines Visits PSU, Accidentally Transitions After 72 Hours of Contact
High and Radical Acceptance
Quotes are not fact based and are for satirical purposes.
PORTLAND, OR — Former NCAA Swimmer and current gender panic roadshow headliner Riley Gaines arrived on the Portland State University (PSU) campus on Monday, May 5, to deliver a much anticipated speech titled “Protecting Women’s Sports (Because Really it’s SOOOO important).”
Organizers expected a protest, or maybe a glitter bomb. No one expected a personal transformation.
“I was just here to rile up the libs. It used to be my very favorite thing,” Gaines said in a follow-up press conference, now sporting a mullet, a nose ring and a ‘Trans-Rights are HumanRights’ Hoodie. “But somewhere between the vegan donut and
the cacao ceremony, I realized… I’m not who I thought I was.”
Gaines looked visibly shook by their experience.
Witnesses say the shift began slowly, and potentially by accident. Gaines—who was supposed to be speaking at Smith Memorial Hall—wandered accidentally into a lecture titled, “Gender constructs during Collapse of Capitalism.” Then she was spotted journaling in the Queer Resource Center’s meditation dome, weeping openly while reading Leslie Feinberg’s novel, Stone Butch Blues. By day three, she was spotted at the local queer bar, Doc Marie’s, discussing Judith Butler over a non-alcoholic IPA.
“She came in hot, like, super binary energy, like a gemini with a taurus rising!” said T, Portland local and self proclaimed spiri-
tual guide. “But we just, like, accepted her. No agenda. Just vibes. And something about that made her crack, funny no?”
Gaines—now going by the name River—has announced plans to stay in Portland, citing an overwhelming desire to “knit and deconstruct colonial gender norms.”
When asked if she regrets her previous statements about transgender athletes, River paused and then answered, “Honestly, I think I was just swimming away from myself the whole time. For the first time, I feel like I’m home.”
The Riley Gaines Center has since rebranded as “The River Collective: Swimming in the Fluidity of Self,” and is launching a line of gender-neutral swimwear made entirely from recycled MAGA yard signs and the tears of devastated Fox News hosts.
Graduation will not be held at the Moda Center this year
All 10
graduation
ceremonies are set to be held at the Viking Pavilion
NASH BENNETT
On Jan. 7, 2025, Portland State University (PSU) confirmed via Instagram that there would be no graduation ceremonies held at the Moda Center this year, and that all ceremonies will be held on-campus at the Viking Pavilion for the first time. Each school and college will now have their own dedicated commencement ceremony—with those sporting larger cohorts having multiple. This culminates in 10 total ceremonies, in contrast to last year’s four.
The School of Business and College of the Arts both had their graduation ceremonies at the Viking Pavillion last year. Talks of utilizing on-campus facilities for graduation began back in 2015, during a Faculty Senate meeting, which established an eventual phasing out of the Moda Center as a venue.
Nora Quiros—PSU’s Director of Events—spoke with PSU Vanguard to clarify the reasoning behind these decisions.
One reason for the change is, “Holding ceremonies on campus and connecting students to where they completed their academic journey while highlighting our beautiful campus to their guests,” Quiros stated.
She also mentioned how having multiple dedicated ceremonies will allow for more students and keynote speakers that relate specifically to each respective discipline.
Quiros also shared some of the logistical reasoning behind the switch, adding that keeping all ceremonies in one location will reduce travel back and forth between campus and the Moda Center for faculty and staff. She also predicts this decision will resort in shorter ceremonies overall.
It was also clarified why this change comes now, as opposed
to previous commencement seasons.
“I believe 2023 marked the final year of graduates returning to participate in commencement ceremonies who had not been able to during the pandemic,” Quiros said. “While the capacity at Moda was necessary, the ceremonies were also three or four hours long. Last year at Moda, our graduates and guests filled about 50% capacity for our morning ceremony and just under 40% capacity for our afternoon ceremony. With this in mind, a smaller and more intimate venue better matches our needs.”
It’s currently unclear whether Viking Pavilion will continue to be the sole home of PSU graduation for future seasons.
“We'll gather input from faculty and staff, and importantly, we'll survey graduates to hear directly about their commencement experience,” Quiros said.

Fiber Arts Club members work on their projects together during a club meeting.
Tie the knot at PSU’s Fiber Arts Club
Do you ever scroll on Pinterest and see amazing crochet, knitting or embroidery artwork? Well, you can now pick up the hobby here at Portland State University.
PSU’s Fiber Arts Club is welcoming all to come and learn some new skills, and even the history behind the fiber arts. Since 2023, the Fiber Arts Club has been devoted to teaching others how to gain such a helpful skill and build a strong community.
This club has some amazing opportunities to branch out and build a community through collaborations with other clubs like MECHA PDX, Las Mujeres PSU and Kappa Delta Chi Sorority.
As college students, it’s hard to destress while maintaining a social life. The Fiber Arts Club is here to provide a creative outlet for the PSU student body.
Members of the Fiber Arts Club—including one of the coordinators of the club—Stella Nicholas, shared her experiences as a member.
“It taught me a lot about time management, and being a leader, and helped me gain other skills like learning how to weave and knit,” Nicholas said. “It’s given me a lot of opportunities outside of the club, I have taught workshops with MECHA and am currently working on a research project on it.
I’m excited for more collaborations and workshops, especially on historical lecture-based workshops and just dive deeper into the history.”
A variety of the Fiber Arts Club members have been working on projects. Students have been making clothing pieces like mittens, sweaters and scarves, while others have been making plushies… including a giant-sized frog.
Event and Outreach Coordinator, Isabelle LaConte, discussed her project—which she was creating at the club.
“Right now I’m making a jumbo frog,” LaConte said. “I led the last workshop, and I made a little cat, which then I started to make a jumbo cat as well.”
LaConte came to learn this new hobby in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to pursue projects at the Fiber Arts Club.
“I started crocheting during COVID,” LaConte said. “I needed to get my mind off things, and I think it’s a good way to use your brain power and exercise it. I think the Fiber Arts Club is a great first club. There’s no pressure or commitment, we just sit & chill, and we also bring a few snacks. It’s very helpful to get into the groove and then branch out to other clubs.”
PSU World Antiquities Guild
Exploring the ancient world, today
NASH BENNETT
The PSU World Antiquities Guild is an on-campus club concerned with the wonders of the ancient world, and exploring its many facets. They dig into the art, artifacts and cultural traditions from the time of antiquity.
They’re a multidisciplinary group corralling students from various areas of studies like Latin, Anthropology, History, Art History, Philosophy and many more. The group has a focus on challenging current biases of historical scholarship, and often employs critical discussion on modern understandings of what the ancient world was like.
The club holds regular study group sessions called, Ye Olde Study Social, where students can bring various projects they’re working on in respective classes and get feedback from students in similar areas of studies. It also acts as a great way for newer students to connect with upperdivision students and get advice from folks who’ve taken the same classes previously.
For example, students taking Latin language courses can practice together and those working on research projects can share their findings.
The club often holds one big event each term, usually consisting of presentations from current students, graduates and other scholars associated with the topic. Previous topics have included women in the art of Ancient Korea, Etruscan tomb paintings and how to acquire funding for a research project.
“ I think it’s a really special place to encourage your enthusiasm about what you’re studying,” said Shelby Morgan, Club President.
She elaborated on the importance of discussing these topics with like-minded scholars and being willing to challenge preconceived ideas of ancient history.
“PSU students are up for the task, and are very interested in [discovering] newer evidence and learning to distinguish between old scholarship and new scholarship,” Morgan said.
The PSU World Antiquities Guild’s talks are open to the public, and students interested in becoming members can learn more at PSU Connect.

Letter to the Editor
A
Dissenting Opinion on the Riley Gaines Invitation by TP USA PSU
ELIANNA GNOFFO
Editor’s Note: The perspectives and opinions printed in this Letter to the Editor are the views and statements of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the positions of Portland State Vanguard or its editorial staff. Some claims have not been independently verified by PSU Vanguard.
Yesterday, our PSU campus was host to a Turning Point USA (TP USA) event where the latest transphobic grifter, Riley Gaines, was invited to speak. Riley Gaines’ claim to fame is tying with a trans woman for fifth place behind four cis women in a swimming competition. She has been on a tour talking about how unfair it was for her to tie with a “biological man” in a race where she lost to other cis women and had worse times than other cis women swimmers in other races. Never mind the fact Katie Ledecky and other cis female swimmers have superior times to competitive cis male swimmers. Gaines was invited to speak by the local PSU Turning Point USA chapter, whose president said DEI stands for Didn’t Earn It. This person also did not win her run for President of ASPSU, so she did not earn that just as Gaines did not earn a medal in her race—perhaps she finds Gaines to be a kindred spirit in that way. That was the event in the beginning on the surface, but as the day went on, the event became something more. The entirety of the Smith Memorial Building, the main student hangout hub, became shut off in its entirety to the student body. The Women’s and Queer Resource Center shuttered early due to concerns of harassment. It’s unknown who did it—maybe only a lost student—but someone
pushed open the rear emergency exit door to the space which set off an alarm. This occurrence spooked the workers at the center. The Basic and Family Needs hubs were also shuttered early. Doors were locked, and students were steadily ushered out of the building to make way for Gaines, Turning Point USA members, Proud Boys, and other registered attendees. Even the ASPSU elected officials had some hassle reentering the building to get to their offices. There were even riot police with tear gas canisters for use against student protesters. PSU, as a federally and state funded college, does have to adhere to the constitutional right to free speech as stipulated in the First Amendment, but I do wonder where the line would be drawn. Would the college allow a chrome-domed, sieg heiling skinhead or fully robed [Ku Klux] Klan members to hold a rally in the Smith ballroom if they didn’t make overt calls for violence and paid the fee?
There is a current investigation of Free Palestine protest students on the accusation of antisemitism, some were even expelled, but this event was host to groups which are known to fraternize with Neo Nazis and Representative Margorie Taylor Greene who has made accusations of Jewish space lasers. There was someone with a student ID handing out Nazi literature at the event. Will the college respond to these displays of antisemitism? Gaines’ movement here is the latest to speak on the premise of cis women’s safety from trans women, a sentiment reminiscent of white women’s fears of desegregation, so she’s being show-ponied about by groups well known for their desire to increase women’s autonomy and empowerment. This
event drew in other dangers to women in the form of a man who stalked some women to the point they needed to hide in student accommodations and require an escort group to leave the campus safely.
Students lost their space to study and socialize in Smith, students elsewhere had their work time interrupted, some hid in their dorms, others didn’t come to campus at all due to fear of being attacked by a cowboy cosplaying Proud Boy. Our space was taken from us. One arrest I witnessed had someone arrested without stated cause and not read her rights. The police car went rushing up the pedestrian plaza without sirens on to whisk her away. She gave her dead and chosen name to the crowd for people to keep track of her no matter where she was booked; there were concerns that she, as a trans woman, would be sent to a men’s jail. She was only one of the five people arrested yesterday.
Riley Gaines is a grown woman who has her own autonomy to stop when she wants, but she can also be exploited by conservative astroturf groups. Someone who was inside the event says her responses were not that well put together or politically salient; many of the attendees were probably invited by Turning Point to ask canned questions. Gaines is being paid for her appearances by these groups, lord knows she wasn’t going to be making a career as a competitive swimmer. Now her job, this significant chapter of her life, is going around the country to talk about how she lost a race to four cis women and how it’s all a trans woman’s fault. She could’ve spent the time getting better at swimming or otherwise reevaluating her life goals since swimming on the levels she wanted
wasn’t working out. It can be shattering to not fulfill one’s dreams, but we can choose not to take it out on others. Turning Point or other transphobes probably swooped in and stoked the flames of her despair at her aspirations not working out—their modus operandi is to exacerbate and twist people’s pain to convince them to take it out on others—so now Gaines is the temporary star who will be dumped once she runs out of usefulness to the group’s goals. Hopefully, she makes a better choice for her future once that happens.
PSU’s motto is “Let Knowledge Serve the City.” As a student in the Urban and Public Affairs program, my education from the college will more directly serve the city, and so many other students who were at the protest will serve Portland upon their graduation. We are the people who will represent PSU as we go through our working lives. What does the college really have to gain from allowing these groups on campus to frighten and harass students? Gaines is from Tennessee, and Charlie Kirk, the head of Turning Point, is from Illinois, what does their presence do for the college or the city?
Hardly any of the people who occupied the space were from Portland, possibly not even Oregon. We are currently in a time of the federal government cutting funding to higher education for not obeying demands, and detaining progressive political advocates. What is the history the college wants to write for itself? The Smith halls are being filled with the progressive choices of PSU in the past, what is it planning to do now in these circumstances? Who will PSU choose to support?

Every university in Gaza has been destroyed. Think about that. Every. Single. One.
In the face of this devastation, what are we doing here at Portland State University—an institution that claims to value education, equity, and social justice? What are you doing?
I recently lost my job—not for any legal wrongdoing or breach of contract—but because I refused to stay silent in the face of genocide. I don’t share this for sympathy; I share it because I want you to understand the stakes. Palestinians are being bombed in their homes, starved in refugee camps, murdered in classrooms, and burned alive outside of hospitals. And here, at our university, the repression may look different, but it is no less a part of the same system: silence, complicity, and putting profit over people—whether through ties to war profiteers, real estate development, or the capitalist structures that devalue human life and dignity.
We are told to stay in our lanes, to be “professional,” and to avoid “controversy.” But there is nothing controversial about opposing genocide. There is nothing radical about saying Palestinian lives matter. We must refuse to let our workplaces become sanitized sites of complicity in the name of “neutrality.”
For years, the PSU community has called for divestment and to cut ties with war profiteer Boeing, which fuels Israel’s brutal campaign against Palestinian life. President Ann Cudd disregards the calls for divestment with the claim that PSU is not financially invested in the company. But, with PSU’s “special hiring relationship” with Boeing, we funnel our students as laborers into the war machine. That is PSU’s investment, its students. Last spring, Cudd canceled the promised open forum on Boeing, sidelining student and worker voices while posturing as responsive. Meanwhile, Palestinian students, faculty, and staff walk our campus in grief, burdened by the weight of a catastrophe that is being intentionally silenced. The genocide gets more dire with each passing day, yet Gazans are left to wonder if anyone sees their suffering. It is our students—
and students worldwide—who have shown Palestinians that they are not forgotten.
Last fall, Students for Justice in Palestine called for a “Week of Rage” at college campuses, marking one year of genocide. I joined other members of the PSU Disarm and Divest Coalition—a coalition of students, staff, and faculty—in a hunger strike.
We’ve called for transparency, accountability, and divestment. Our demands have been met with silence, obfuscation, and ultimately repression.
Now is not the time to slow down or give up. I am asking my colleagues—all faculty, staff, administrators, and fellow workers—to understand that your job security is a small price to pay compared to what has been lost in Gaza. Every university there has been obliterated. Think of what that means. And then ask yourself: What am I willing to risk to stop this?
I risked my job. And while I am heartbroken to lose this role that allowed me to support students, build feminist leadership, and foster spaces on campus where critical thought and collective action can thrive—I am okay. Nothing, including maintaining a job I love, is more important to me than standing up for what is right. Audre Lorde has taught me that my silence will not protect me. None of us are safe in a world where genocide is allowed.
If you are not a part of organizing yet, start today. There are many of us. I have been an active member of PSU Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine. This politicized cadre has been a bastion of hope, camaraderie, and action in these times of hopelessness and disconnect. The university administration wants you to feel alone. You are not. Find your people. Take risks together and take care of each other. The university will move quickly and quietly to remove people. We should all be watching out for big changes to resource centers or people who are suddenly no longer employed.
My call to action remains the same. The time to act is now. For Gaza. For justice. For the future of education everywhere.

Bill Evans and Jim Hall collaborate to create jazz euphoria
NOAH CARANDANIS
Grief has the potential to either inspire the best or draw out our worst in us.
When Jazz Double Bassist and Bill Evans Trio member Scott LaFaro died in a car accident, Pianist and Composer Bill Evans ceased recording music for months. Wounded by grief, he only came back into the recording studio in 1962 to collaborate with Guitarist Jim Hall on their album “Undercurrent.”
The conversation between Evans’ piano and Hall’s guitar throughout the long-playing vinyl record is unforgettable. The duo’s musical conversation buoys from up-tempo and energetic on the album’s opening track, “My Funny Valentine,” to more introspective and tense on songs such as “Romain.”
A personal favorite of mine is “Skating in Central Park” which brings to mind memories of simple, mundane joys. The guitar punctuates Evans’ soft piano backing with a gentle force, and the two musicians switch off giving one another the spotlight. Like any good conversation, it ebbs and flows between who is talking and who is listening. Lively, dynamic and cerebral, this album demonstrated that Evans’ was ready to step back into the soft spotlight of the jazz world.
Though it is an axiom to never judge a book by its cover—or rather an album in this instance—
“Undercurrent” has a stunning photograph visually introducing the listener to the experience. The photograph was taken by Photographer Toni Frissell and is titled, “Weeki Wachee spring, Florida.”
The ghostly, ephemeral figure of the woman in the water seems unmoored from time and epoch. I believe this cover compliments the music wonderfully. Jazz is not only the moody counterpart to studying in the fall, over cups of coffee and under swirls of cigarette smoke.
A good conversation can be listened to at any time. Indulge in this conversation between Evans and Hall, I guarantee you’ll glean at least a few nuggets of wisdom.
