In last issue’s Publisher Note, we wrote about the recent con by which Southern Oregon Univer- sity was scammed of $1.9 million when someone or persons apparently requested funds wired to a bank account as partial payment for construction of the school’s new gym. In the column, we raised questions about the leadership from the university’s president, who is completing her first year at the campus. We based those questions and assessments on talking with students who voiced their frustration that they felt as if they were not fully or completely informed about the “situation,” and also from talking with several faculty members who voiced a lack of faith with the new president. Apparently, the editorial did not sit well with some members of the administration at SOU. A few days after the publication of the article, we received lengthy email from Joe Mosley, SOU’s Director of Community and Media Relations, saying that we were wrong in our assessment, if not our facts (and our grammar). In a separate and more formal letter to the editor, Mosely laid out a few of the guiding principles for the administration, in the context of this incident. He wrote:

“The ‘Profiles of Leadership’ column published in the Messenger’s most recent issue included some factual inaccuracies. I appreciate the opportunity to correct them. • Southern Oregon University did not publicly disclose the crime when it was ini- tially discovered to avoid compromising the initial phase of the FBI’s investigation and SOU’s own efforts to recover a portion of the diverted money. • Transparency is a key value of the university, and has been a goal in this case from the onset. After the investigation’s initial phase, SOU leaders including the president made it a priority to meet with student leaders to personally address the issue and answer all questions they could at that time. After that meeting, other campus constituencies and the general public were informed of the incident. • SOU is cooperating fully with the FBI investigation and is continuing to pursue its own inquiry as to how and why this particular crime occurred. To date, about a third of the amount stolen in the computer fraud incident has been returned to SOU, and the university is working through multiple channels to recover or be reimbursed for the remainder. • SOU’s tuition increase was necessitated by increasing costs and flat state funding, and was approved by the Board of Trustees before the fraud occurred. Tuition rates, academic and student support programs, and the positions of faculty and staff will be unaffected if the fraud case results in a loss of money. The university will share more information about the case – and about our review – as facts emerge and the investigation develops. Joe Mosley Director of Community and Media Relations Southern Oregon University

We do hope to continue to learn more about how and who perpetrated the scam against SOU. For example, Mosley says that one-third of the funds have been recovered. Does that mean the identity of the thieves is known? How were the funds recovered? Moreover, to back up the claim that the scam was sophisticated (and, hence, the administration less at fault), we have been told that the FBI says there have been similar scams at 60 other universities. However, we still do not have an answer to the question: How many of those university administrations “fell” for the scam? Ultimately, being able to pinpoint the fault or non-fault of the administration is not just an academic question. The answer to that question helps answer an important question about our current lifestyles, in that it helps show how vulnerable we all are—our institutions and individually—to cyber scams and attacks. And, that is a tricky question to answer: If the administration did blunder this incident, that means there should be concern about the leadership at SOU. However, if the university administration is completely blameless because the scam was sophisticated, that means the internet is a more dangerous and trustless place. There seems to be no good answer to that question.

GR ANTS PASS: In late June, Grants Pass city council passed regulations for short-term rentals, like the popular AirBnB site. The new regulations arrive within the context of other cities throughout Oregon, and the world, setting in place regulations for short-term house rentals.. With short-term rentals steadily gaining popu- larity, cities have scrambled to put in place to manage the burgeoning business, with estimated revenue of $3 billion for AirBnB this year alone. There is no standard yet, as each city seems to be managing the short-term rentals in their juris- diction on an individual basis. Tourist cities like Bend have limited the number of AirBnb rentals and collected taxes on those allowed, while Ash- land has all but banned them.

BRITT FESTIVAL FINE ART POSTER growing at The CREDIT: JAMIE MCPARTLAND Farming Fish. No matter how gifted or experienced the artist, art can be a constant teacher. Jamie McPartland claims she’s no exception. For its 33rd year of showcasing Britt Festivals visually, McPartland’s art piece, “Arcadian Triptych,” has been selected as its Fine Arts Poster for this season. Triptych is a piece repre- sented on three panels or in three different forms. She says, “I still feel like a student of art, working on my history.” Studying painting in New York at Hunter College, McPartland spent countless hours in museums throughout her life, especially in France and Mexico. She describes “Arcadian Triptych” as “a mash-up. Everything from Schiele, Klimt, and Toulouse Lautrec to Mexican amate bark paintings to Wiener Werkstätte postcards to rugs and textiles.” The piece ended up at different destination than she originally intended it. “Originally, I wanted the piece to have qualities of both Art Nouveau ads, like Mucha’s and the kind of aesthetic you see on things like vintage candy tins in France, combined with ‘60s psychedelic rock posters,” she explains. “But that’s not really what I ended up with as I felt my way through the process. Content-wise, my hope was to embody the idyllic atmosphere of the festival as I’ve known it, hopefully without being too on- the-nose, which I might have been.” Her artist statement mentions: “Jamie’s interest is in the lay- ering of folk art traditions, organic materials and culturally relevant references. The resulting work will hopefully transcend aesthetic boundaries and provoke conversation.” The piece will no doubt provoke conversation. Framed in what looks like a ripped olive green border, a musician plays a guitar and sings in the center of the piece. To the left is a young girl clearly enjoying the concert, and to the right is a couple enjoying the show more intimately. The girl, musician, and couple are separated in their own panels, with a curved line design in the background, crowned with several trees. The sky goes from light to dark, just as most shows occur over the course of a warm summer’s evening.

DANIEL SMITH

Gout is an extremely painful condition characterized by re- current attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis. Usually one joint becomes swollen, red, tender and warm. About 50% of the time, it is the big toe, but other joints may be involved. Gout oc- curs when uric acid (a natural waste product of protein me- tabolism that eventually gets excreted in the urine) builds up in the blood to an excessive level and starts to crystallize. It is these crystals that land in the joints, tendons, or surrounding areas and cause intolerable pain. Historically, gout was known as the “disease of kings” because it tended to afflict royalty and those who had the means to indulge in “rich” diets heavy on meat, alcohol, and fats.
