Traditions connect OSUCascades with main campus Darwin Ikard The Broadside

reating traditions students can count on boosts morale and institutional loyalty. With the Oregon State University-Cascades extensions set for 2015, student government hopes to create traditions with staying power. “It’s a way to be connected with the main campus,” Activities Coordinator Victoria Odinet said. During the 2012-2013 school year, members of the Associated Students of Cascades Campus have been working to establish annual traditions that students will be able to count on as the school transitions into a four year university, according to ASCC President Rachel Mayhill. In fall 2012, students rode the rally bus to Corvallis to attend a Beavers football game, according to Odinet. ASCC orchestrated this event, and there are hopes to do it again for spring baseball. “These are things we definitely want to pass on. I envision, when we are a four-year school, that rally bus will be full,” Odinet said.

news Natural gas testing at COCC could double your MPGs Anna Quesenberry The Broadside

▼ An internal combustion engine similar to one that will be used in the natural gas testing at COCC was set up by Research Project Manager and OSU-Cascades Alumnus Dusty Stewart.

Tired of sitting in long lines at the pump? Imagine being able to fuel your car from home for half the price. The research being conducted in Central Oregon Community College’s Automotive Technician Laboratory could someday make that dream a reality. The United States Department of Energy awarded $700,000 to Chris Hagen to fund the natural gas research project. The project’s goal is to tap into natural gas as a resource for transportation. It’s being led by Oregon State University-Cascades’ Energy Systems Engineering assistant professor Chris Hagen. “We have a lot of natural gas in this country,” Hagen said. “By some estimates, 100 years of natural gas at our current consumption rates.” However the natural gas must be compressed, explained Hagen, by way of a 125 horsepower electric motor, coupled with an internal combustion engine. The engine will act as a compressor, condensing the gas to fuel the automobile. If implemented, the research will allow residents the option to hook a vehicle up to the same natural gas line they run in their homes, for cheaper than going to the pump. “It’s $1.50-$2.00 a gallon of gasoline equivalent,” Hagen said. “So basically for the same amount of energy, it’s going to cost half as much.” Hagen and his team are in the process of narrowing in on a final design before beginning testing. The project will be managed by Dusty Stewart, OSU-Cascades’ first Energy Systems Engineering graduate, who considers himself fortunate to have started working on the project as an undergraduate. “You wouldn’t get an opportunity like this if you were at a larger school,” Stewart said, “because the jobs would go to graduate students.” There are challenges and benefits that come with doing the research at OSU-Cascades campus, according to Hagen. Since it is such a new campus, there are currently no graduate students and no facilities. “It’s the only research going on here in Bend,” Hagen said. “It’s a pretty exciting project.” Photo submitted by Dusty Stewart

ASCC, from Page 1 New this year was the creation of club sports, with the introduction of both Alpine and Nordic skiing. To kickoff the 2013 winter season, 20 OSU-Cascades students took the rally bus up to Mt. Bachelor with OSU’s mascot Benny the Beaver making an appearance, according to Odinet. “Its cool for students to get together,” said Odinet. “It gets people excited about OSU, and gets them involved outside of our campus.” As the number of students at OSU-Cascades grows, Odinet is hoping that the campus can have a positive impact in the community through volunteer work.

“We are working on incorporating volunteer work in the community at least once a term,” said Odinet. “I would like to see an annual student volunteer day, where students go out sideby-side with student government.” Rachel Mayhill has also been working to get an annual event implemented. “One of my largest goals this year is to leave [the students] with an end of the year celebration,” said Mayhill, “where all the entities of OSU-Cascades can come together to celebrate their accomplishments. I’m hoping it will be an annual thing.” Mayhill has been working with both faculty as well as planners to make sure

that the students’ voices are heard in all conversations about the expansion. “Any [OSU-Cascades] student is invited to participate in the discussion,” said Mayhill. “I hope to have as much input as possible.” Mayhill and Odinet will be graduating in 2013, and are hesitant to implement anything too constricting on future governments. Still, they both share excitement for the future. “We are growing and changing and so this is a great opportunity to be a part of that change,” said Odinet. “We all really care about seeing it move forward.” (Contact:dikard@cocc.edu)

Driving and texting could turn into $2,000 ticket in Oregon Christian Gaston The Oregonian

eb. 12--SALEM -- Texting behind the wheel could cost you up to $2,000 if Oregon lawmakers have their way. Two bills in the Legislature would increase the maximum penalty for using a cellphone while driving, the highest profile effort among a number of legislative attempts to rewrite the rules of the road. Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, says the rise of texting is causing dangerous distractions and has thrown his political weight behind the effort to increase the fines drivers face if caught with their hands on a phone. “You don’t have to drive much to see people texting,” Courtney said. “It’s everywhere. It’s going on all the time. It’s just unbelievable.” Accidents on Oregon roads involving cellphones peaked at 312 in 2009, the year lawmakers put a maximum $500 penalty on using a cellphone while driving. (Hands-free use was exempted.) The number of accidents initially dropped, but has been creeping up. In 2011, 269 accidents statewide involved a cellphone. That’s a small share of the average 45,000 auto accidents that occur each year. But Courtney said he introduced Senate Bill 9 in order to put some teeth in the 2009 law. It would increase the maximum penalty to $1,000 and direct the Department of Transportation to erect signs warning drivers of the law. A tougher bill on the House

side (House Bill 2790) would increase the maximum penalty to $2,000. “If the penalties are great enough, then people will realize,” Courtney said, “OK, you can get away with it and get away with it, but the one time you get caught the penalties will be very severe.” The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 3 to 2 in support of the bill Tuesday, with the committee’s two Republicans voting against it. It now goes to the full Senate. Sen. Betsy Close, R-Albany, said she worried the fines would have an unfair impact on young drivers. Sen. Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, agreed and said he wished the bill affected distracted driving in general. Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, who works as a municipal prosecutor in Florence and chairs the committee, said most

drivers wouldn’t face the maximum fine, which is typically reserved for egregious cases or repeat offenders. Usually tickets bear a lower “presumptive fine.” The current one for using a cellphone while driving is $110. Under Courtney’s bill, it would increase to $260. Under the House measure, it would increase to $435. Cellphones aren’t the only thing that could cost you on the road. Two bills crafted by Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, would tax studded tires. Greenlick, who used to live in Portland’s west hills, said his goal is to raise money to pay for the damage the tires cause, not to ban them outright. He sympathizes with drivers stuck on snowy passes. “They ought to be able to get them, but they ought to pay for the damage that they cause,” Greenlick said.

Greenlick introduced House Bill 2278, which would tax each tire by $10, but said he’s focused on House Bill 2277, which requires studded tire owners to obtain a permit. The cost of the permit would be based on how much damage studded tires do to Oregon roadways each year. Rough figures suggest it could cost $100 per year, Greenlick said. Not all the road bills are aimed at extracting fees. Sen. Ginny Burdick wants to amend state law to require slow-moving traffic to stay in the right lanes, leaving the left lane for passing. Currently, only “campers, trailers and trucks” are required to reserve the left lane for passing. Burdick, D-Portland, introduced Senate Bill 511 in order to speed up traffic flow and improve safety. “The far left lane is meant for

passing,” Burdick said. “And you have cars that get in that lane and just use it as a driving lane and it causes other drivers to make unsafe maneuvers to get around them.” Other vehicle-related legislation aims to improve safety. Senate Bill 527 requires motorists to turn their headlights on when their windshield wipers are active. Senate Bill 444 bans smoking in a car while children are present. Both concepts have been introduced in the Legislature before, but failed to pass. The smoking ban wouldn’t be “nanny state” regulation, but would protect kids from cigarette smoke, said Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, D-Portland, the bill’s sponsor. “Secondhand smoke in that space is just as bad as smoking themselves.”

features Some drivers go out of their way to hit turtles, university student discovers By Laura Moss Mother Nature Network (mnn.com)

hen Clemson University senior Nathan Weaver first placed a rubber box turtle in the middle of a road, he was simply researching ways to help real turtles safely cross the street. But he witnessed something chilling he hadn't expected: Several drivers went out of their way to run over the turtle. The first time he conducted his experiment, Weaver put the realistic-looking turtle in the middle lane of a road near a college apartment complex in Clemson, S.C. Then he watched for an hour as 267 vehicles passed by and seven drivers intentionally ran over the turtle. Several more tried to hit the rubber animal but missed. "It was a bit surprising. I've heard of people and from friends who knew people that ran over turtles. But to see it out here like this was a bit shocking," Weaver told the Associated Press. Although Weaver was shocked to see such behavior, research shows that drivers intentionally running over the reptiles is not uncommon.

Box turtle populations are in slow decline, and one of the main reasons is the riskiness of crossing streets, which can take turtles several dangerous minutes. A 2002 study of the impact of road density and traffic volume on turtle populations found that roadkill alone contributed enough mortality to reduce the size of a local turtle population. What makes the problem even worse is that turtles reproduce slowly. It takes seven or eight years for a turtle to reach sexual maturity, and during that time, a turtle likely makes several trips across streets in search of food or nesting areas. A 50-year-old turtle might lay more than 100 eggs over its lifetime, but statistically only two or three of those hatchlings will survive long enough to reproduce, according to Rob Baldwin, a professor at Clemson's School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences. Curious if other drivers were just as likely to run over his rubber turtles as those near campus, Weaver chose a residential street next to duplicate his experiment. He placed a turtle in the middle lane of the road and waited. The second car that appeared swerved over the center line of the road and ran

over the turtle, destroying its plastic shell. For the rest of the hour, no other cars hit the fake animal, but just as Weaver went to retrieve it, another car pulled to the right to hit the turtle. "One hit in 50 cars is pretty significant when you consider it might take a turtle 10 minutes to cross the road," Weaver said. Why would someone go out of the way to run over a defenseless animal? Hal Herzog, author of a book about our relationships with animals, "Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat," says it can be about asserting dominance over another species. But sometimes it's just about having fun. "They aren't thinking, really. It is not something people think about. It just seems fun at the time. It is the dark side of human nature," Herzog told the Associated Press. To illustrate his point, Herzog, a Western Carolina University psychology professor, asked one of his classes if they'd ever intentionally run over a turtle or been in the car with someone who did. Of the 110 students, 34 raised their hands and two-thirds of them were male.

Only a small percentage of turtles survive to maturity. Turtle populations continue to decline in large part due to dangerous traffic.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND AN INJURED TURTLE IN THE ROAD â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

If you can safely retrieve the animal, do so. Place the turtle in a box and keep it in a dark, quiet area indoors. If there is debris on the turtle, you can wipe it off with damp gauze, but do not rinse the animal with running water or immerse it in water. If there's a limb injury, pack a piece of gauze over the limb and wrap gauze around it to hold it in place. It's best to let a veterinarian or wildlife rehabilitation expert evaluate the turtle before it eats, so don't offer the animal any food.

'Pre-drinking' or 'pre-funking' common among young alcohol users

Adobe Photoshop Graphic | MCT

By Monte Morin Los Angeles Times

hey call it "pre-drinking," "pre-partying" or "pre-funking," and it usually involves chugging cheap alcoholic drinks before heading out to a bar, club or sporting event. While addiction experts estimate that 65 percent to 75 percent of college-age youths engage in such boozy behavior, a Swiss study concludes

that such "pre-loaded" evenings are far more likely to end in blackouts, unprotected sex, unplanned drug use or injury. "Pre-drinking is a pernicious drinking pattern," said coauthor Florian Labhart, a researcher at Addiction Info Switzerland, in Lausanne. "Excessive consumption and adverse consequences are not simply related to the type of people who pre-drink, but rather to the practice of predrinking itself." The study, to be published in an upcoming issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, examined the drinking habits of more than 250 Swiss students. For five weeks, the test subjects were surveyed via Internet and cellphone text messages. Each Thursday, Friday

and Saturday night, the students were questioned hourly about how many drinks they had just consumed. Researchers found that when students drank prior to going to a bar or club, they drank more than they would otherwise. On average, predrinking students consumed seven drinks, and students who drank only at a bar or event consumed just over four drinks. This increased drinking was associated with a greater likelihood of blackouts, hangovers, absences from work or school or alcohol poisoning. Pre-drinkers were also found to engage more often in unintended drug use, unsafe sex, drunken driving or violent behavior. The study found that while students who drank only at a

bar or club stood an 18 percent chance of experiencing negative consequences, students who drank beforehand stood a 24 percent chance of seeing their evening end in mishap. Study authors cited several motivations for pre-drinking, which practitioners also called "pre-gaming," "preloading" or "frontloading." "Reasons given for predrinking include saving money, getting in the mood for partying, becoming intoxicated and socializing with friends or facilitating contacts with potential sexual partners," the authors wrote. Shannon R. Kenney, a sociology professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, said pre-drinking behavior was likely as prevalent, or more so, in the United

States, where the legal drinking age was much higher. In Switzerland, youths can legally purchase alcohol at age 16. Kenney, who did not participate in the study, said the concept of pre-drinking has only recently been studied by addiction experts. Because of its risky nature and prevalence, she said, it warranted closer examination. Study authors noted several possible shortcomings in their study. Among them was that only students with Internet capable cellphones could participate. Also, the study questions were extremely short, so that they could be read on a small cellphone screen or answered by someone in an intoxicated state. (MCT Campus)

One wild night with marilyn manson Jarred Graham The Broadside

early two decades after he completed his first tour, Marilyn Manson still has the same diabolical fervor that made him legendary. After a long sordid history of outrageous stage antics, the shock rocker still has a lot to offer, which he proved during his concert at Portland’s Roseland Theater on Feb. 13. The venue itself was an odd location for such a huge event. The theater was small and not particularly flashy in terms of atmosphere. Butcher Babies, a metal band from Long View, California, opened for Marilyn Manson. The band features two women on vocals, Carla Harvey and Heidi Shephard-an unusual dynamic for a metal band. Harvey and Shephard are backed by loud, droning power chords and heavy drum riffs. Most of Butcher Babies’ songs followed a formulaic metal structure, but what they may have lacked in originality, they more than made up for in sex appeal. They proved to be an effective show opener. Photo submitted by Michael Johnson

After the Butcher Babies performed, tension in the crowd was amplified when a dark curtain rose around the perimeter of the stage. The lights lowered, and Manson’s silhouette appeared behind the curtain, driving the crowd insane with anticipation. When the curtain dropped, the band launched into a powerful performance of “Hey, Cruel World.” From there, it was non stop madness. “Theatric” is the word that comes closest to describe Manson’s performance, but even that falls short. Each song saw Manson dressed in a new, elaborate costume. A particularly memorable moment occurred when Manson, dressed in the garb of a Pope, sprayed the audience with a fog machine while performing “The Love Song.” Fog wasn’t the only thing Manson sprayed into his audience. During the show, Manson also covered his audience in fake snow, beer suds and cake. Manson is certainly not shy about implementing props, but never did his use of props come off as forced or superfluous--each prop had its own significance, and only enhanced the experience. The setlist was nothing short of brilliant. Manson struck a perfect balance between new material and old favorites. Diehard fans and new fans alike rejoiced each song as the band powered through. He still has his signature scream, and his voice has not lost its intensity. After the show, no complaints were heard from the audience about songs that were or were not played. Standout songs included, “Disposable Teens,” “The Dope Show,” “The Beautiful People,” “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” and “Antichrist Superstar.” Manson knows his fans, and knows which songs they want to hear. It’s that level of dedication that makes him so beloved by his fans. Manson unquestionably has a way of captivating his audience. His shows also inspire a certain level of angst, which can lead to rowdy audience behavior. More than a few fights broke out in the crowd, which marred the experience somewhat. These weren’t brief scuffles, these were full-on brawls. With such a small venue, it’s expected to be a little cramped; anyone with claustrophobia would have done well to avoid this packed venue. Before the show, I had the chance Marilyn Manson sprays to meet Manson, which is a dream the audience with come true for any hardcore fan. The fog during “The Love line leading up to Manson’s meet-andSong.” greet booth was swarming with fans decked in platform heels, corsets and leather apparel-anything that could grab attention. Many faces were painted Photo submitted by Jarred Graham as an homage to Manson’s affinity for Jarred Graham and Marilyn Manson pose for a picture dramatic makeup. at the meet-and-greet before the concert. Manson was kind and gracious to his fans. He shook hands, joked and signed autographs for all VIP ticket holders. Fans could bring in any item or Manson to autograph; items brought forth included shirts, copies of Manson’s autobiography, and even an electric guitar. Manson also posed with his adoring fans for pictures. A solid setlist, captivating stage antics, and the chance to meet the Antichrist Superstar himself made this a night to remember. Manson has come a long ways and brought with him a storm of controversy, yet he has proved again and again that he’s a force to be reckoned with. His message of self-expression and defying social norms endures to this day and continues to inspire his fans. Marilyn Manson’s charisma knows no end, and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

tudents can feed their bodies and their brains at the Lunchtime Lecture series in Cascades Hall. The lunchtime series is hosted by Oregon State UniversityCascades, and is free to the entire community. Christine Coffin, director of Communications and Outreach at OSU-Cascades, believes that this is a way for the OSU-Cascades faculty to share what research they are currently working on. “They [researchers] developed this series on their own,” Coffin said. “We just applied a little coordination to it.” Sandy Brooke, associate professor of arts, considers the

lecture series to be a way to encourage people to come and get to know the faculty of OSUCascades. Brooke will be giving a lecture in April titled “Fate and Luck: A Series Crossing Boundaries,” which will discuss where ideas come from and if those ideas can be expressed across different paint mediums.

“When I plan, I don’t have a specific audience in mind,” Brooke said. She plans for everyone from students to community members. This will be Brooke’s second lecture over the past three years. Jesse King, assistant professor of business, gave his first lecture, titled

“Helpful and Safe vs. Useless and Dangerous: Research on the Affect Heuristic” in February 2013. This lecture was about how people use their emotions to drive their judgment. “It’s a chance for researchers to present their research to anyone who wants to come,” King said about the series.

• Time: 12-1, nearly every other academic month on the first Wednesday. • Location: Cascade Hall room 117/118 • Price: Free (pick up parking pass at reception desk if not a student) • More information: OSU Cascade Website

When King prepared for his lecture he kept it so that anyone could come and understand what his research was about. Although King has only given one lecture he has attended multiple lectures as an audience member. “It’s really interesting to go to them [lectures],” said King, “because they’re all different and it’s interesting to see the different academic disciplines.” Coffin enjoys being a part of the series. “It’s an absolute pleasure to share the work of our faculty with the outside world,” she said.
