First jump at age 85 for this adventurous 1952 alumnus

We’ll let Ron Nutting, ’52 (pictured here with his skydiving in- structor/partner), tell this story on his own: “On June 28, three Beavers made their first tandem, free-fall jump at Skydive Oregon in Molalla. The Beavers were myself and my sons Brad, ’80, and Brian, ’83. Our parachuting group also included my grandson, Col- in, and my life partner, Marilyn Mulhall, who still favors the Ducks

>> PICTURE THIS but I’m working on her. Skydiving was Marilyn’s gift to me for my 85th birthday. She knew skydiving had been on my bucket list for many years. The skydiving event was memorable to us because it was our groundbreaking first jump, it included three generations of Beavers counting grandson Colin who is an honorary Beaver, and because Marilyn, age 84, and me, age 85, are pretty old for this kind of stuff!” (Photo courtesy Skydive Oregon)

OSU’s Chi Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega celebrated its 100th anniversary on campus with a three-day gala in April, a high- light of which was a rededication of the chapter house that included an address by Steve Clark, ’75, OSU’s vice president of university relations and marketing. Chartered March 19, 1915, the chapter was the first Greek fraternal organization recognized at Oregon State. Today, it is home to 151 collegiate members. Some 412 alumnae and guests returned to campus for the weekend. Of the 362 alumnae in attendance, 21 were previous chapter presidents. The oldest member was Shirley Gilkey Pilcher, ’52; traveling the furthest was Jeannie Heide- man Stewart, ’83, Atlanta. The Class of 1983 had the most alumnae in attendance.

Before his recent election, Buehler often would be on the road for weeks at a time, teaching doctors how to use the technology. “In the product development world,” he said, “you really define the problem — that is key — breaking it down to the steps needed to solve the problem. In medicine if we don’t diagnose the problem correctly, our treatment can be harmful or, at worst, kill people. “So I think my time as a scientist and a designer and my time as a physician have helped me in my approach to solving problems in the legislature,” he said. “I have learned to ask, ‘What is the problem that we are trying to solve and how do we do it best?’ Too often, people jump to the solution before really adequately defining the problem.” Buehler also is an OSU Foundation trustee, served for several years on the The four obligations of a Rhodes “A well-lived life has three stages,” OSU Cascades Board of Advisors and was Scholar at England’s Oxford University Buehler said. “First you learn and prepare an adjunct professor in the College of are academic achievement, athletic yourself, and Oregon State prepared Public Health and Human Sciences. prowess, leadership and dedication to me very well.

1. C. e Ava Helen and Linus Pauling collection contains an envelope with clippings from Linus’ beard. When Pauling became chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical En- gineering at Caltech in 1936, his wife Ava Helen suggested he grow a beard to appear more scholarly, and Linus is seen with whiskers in a few photographs from the period. When he decided to shave it oﬀ, Linus felt the beard should be documented. As a result, the collection NEW MEMBER BENEFIT includes — preserved for posterity — some noticeably red whiskers from our most famous alumnus.

2. B. About 50 infants and toddlers served as “practice babies” for the roughly 1,500 students enrolled in the mandatory six-week Household Administration Program of the School of Home Economics from 1926 to 1947. e archives contain collections of photographic prints and records relating to the Kent and Withycombe Home Management Houses, where female students practiced parenting using babies borrowed from orphanages or from single mothers. e children usually remained at a practice house until they were two. en they would be returned to the orphanage, put up for adoption or returned to their biological mothers. DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU >> WHAT Typically, a student would act as a child’s caregiver for a week, after which responsibility for the child would shift to the next student in line. One researcher estimated that there were 41 such programs at colleges around the nation.

3. e lady was a chicken. In 2000, Violet Clayton published Ultra-Violet’s Pickled Egg Cook- book with a dedication to a hen named Lady McDuﬀ. Oregon State poultry scientist James Dryden raised the white leghorn chicken, which set a world record by laying 300 eggs in 1913, when the average hen laid 100 per year.

4. Debate. Recently, while gathering materials for a campus traditions display for new OSU students, researchers found a rather interesting insert in the 1907-08 yell and song book of the OAC Rooters’ Club, including a page of cheers for the OAC Debate Team. It’s reasonable to assume that oratory competitions drew large and spirited cheering sections, as debat- ers were huge stars during the early part of the 20th century, on the same level as today’s Beaver athletes.

GIFT OF TIMBERLAND CREATES LIVING CLASSROOM

roughout his life, Marion Matteson appreciated and benefited from the helpful timberland management advice he received from the OSU College of Forestry and its alumni. Now thanks to a generous bequest he made in memory of his mother, the college has established the Rubie P. Matteson Demonstration Forest near Henry Hagg Lake in Washington County. e 180-acre tract will show forestry students and woodland owners techniques for creating sustainable income while stewarding this living legacy for future generations.
