    Doug Oxsen Oral History Interviews, December 30, 2015 Title “Raising the Bar for OSU Athletics” Date December 30, 2015 Location Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary Interview #2 begins with Oxsen's broader memories of his basketball career at Oregon State. These memories include the quality of play in the Pac-8 during Oxsen's years as a competitor, the knee injury that he suffered during his freshman year, and the contrasts that he has observed between the culture of basketball during that era with what evolved later on. A major topic of conversation is Oxsen's recollections of playing against Bill Walton's UCLA Bruins and Oregon State's upset of UCLA in 1975, a win that broke UCLA's 49-game conference winning streak. He likewise comments on his interactions with Bill Walton in later years, as well as other noteworthy players against whom he competed. The session then shifts its focus to Oxsen's life following his graduation from OSU. These reflections include a discussion of Oxsen's two years touring the world with the Athletes in Action Christian ministry; his brief stint playing professionally in England; and his private sector work with Universal Gym Equipment and the BikeE Corporation. The remainder of the interview is chiefly devoted to Oxsen's return to OSU and his activities as a fundraiser with the OSU Foundation. Specifically, Oxsen details his involvement with the Raising Reser project as well as the construction of the Basketball Practice Facility, the launch of the Everyday Champions program, and the revival of track and field as an intercollegiate sport at Oregon State.

  • The Scab Sheet: Examining the Legacy and Revival of an OSU Student Protest Publication
    The Scab Sheet: Examining the Legacy and Revival of an OSU Student Protest Publication by Chloe N. Stewart A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in Anthropology (Honors Scholar) Presented August 28, 2019 Commencement June 2020 2 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Chloe N. Stewart for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in Anthropology presented on August 28, 2019. Title: The Scab Sheet: Examining the Legacy and Revival of an OSU Student Protest Publication. Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________ Kelly McElroy The Scab Sheet is a student activist publication at OSU. Originally published in 1969- 1970, a group of students revived it in 2017 after a near 50-year gap. The fact that students deliberately resurrected this important and storied student publication suggests that students still believe this particular name and outlet have value. The goal of this project is to gain insight into the purpose, uses, and continued significance of the Scab Sheet. To accomplish this goal, I focused my exploration on identifying differences and similarities between the original and revival runs through the use of thematic analysis and some visual research. Some of the areas of significance identified over the course of this project are the topics addressed across different editions of The Scab Sheet, differences in genre and structure, and a shared theme of dissatisfaction with the institution and community of OSU. Examining these texts reveals an intriguing array of qualities shared and unique. Ultimately, I believe that both the original and revival editions of this publication serve largely similar purposes but in different ways.

  • Welcome to OSU! Self-Guided Tour of Campus
    Welcome to OSU! Self-Guided Tour of Campus Oregon State University’s main campus is over 400 acres and has 121 buildings-needless to say you will only have a chance to see a small part of it! Tuition was $10 a term in 1870 when the first degrees were awarded to a class of three (one woman and two men). There are currently over 27,000 students from all 50 states and 93 foreign countries. The Tour: (Sites can be visited in any order) Memorial Union & Quad In the Quad: The MU opened in 1928 and remains a popular place with students today. The quad (lawn) out front often has information booths, live music concerts, and students hanging out doing homework or basking in the Oregon sun. In the lounge: This beautiful area, also known as the students’ living room, features couches and chairs for between-class studying or naps. At noon on Fridays, the lounge hosts concerts for students and the public by OSU music groups including parts of the orchestra and a capella groups. All of the flags throughout the hall represent a student or faculty member from that particular country. On main level: If you are looking for a bite to eat, there are a couple of great places to get a bite on the West end of the MU. OSU students can either use cash or a debit card to purchase meals. On campus, there are 17 different restaurants, cafés, and stores to choose from. In the basement: During any free time that students have here at OSU, they can be found down in the basement playing pool on one of the many pool tables, bowling at OSU’s recreational bowling alley, and playing video games with friends.

  • TAB G Student-Athletes Briefing
    TAB G Student-Athletes Briefing BACKGROUND The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (Athletics) at Oregon State University (OSU) focuses on the holistic development of its 500+ student-athletes by providing opportunities for them to develop their leadership through academic and athletic achievement in a progressive and inclusive environment of mutual respect. Certified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), OSU participates in the NCAA Division I Bowl Championship Subdivision (FBS) as a member of the Pac-12 Conference (Pac- 12). The university sponsors 17 varsity sports (baseball, men’s & women’s basketball, women’s cross country, football, men’s & women’s golf, women’s gymnastics, men’s & women’s rowing, men’s & women’s soccer, softball, women’s indoor and outdoor track & field, women’s volleyball and wrestling). As a member of the NCAA, Athletics is governed by the NCAA and the Pac-12, and all institutions classified in the FBS must meet all the Division I membership requirements set forth in NCAA Division I bylaws. ATHLETICS AT OSU As a member of the Pac-12, Athletics subscribes to the philosophy of achieving regional and national excellence and prominence for all of its programs. Beyond serving its 500+ student- athletes by providing opportunities for participation in intercollegiate sports, Athletics also serves the greater university community by maintaining and promoting the educational achievements of student-athletes and upholding the academic integrity of the institution as a whole. In February 2018, Athletics unveiled a five-year strategic plan that includes six strategic goals. Each of the goals reflect the mission of the department, which is to Build, Excellent, Authentic, Visionary Student-Athletes by being builders, being excellent, being authentic and being visionary with student-athletes at the core of everything we do (GO B.E.A.V.S!).

    Historical Reports on OSU Building Names Amory T. “Slats” Gill and Gill Coliseum Research Coordination and Introduction Dr. Stacey L. Smith Building Historical Research Team Dr. Thomas Bahde Dr. Stephen Dow Beckham Dr. Marisa Chappell Dr. Dwaine Plaza Dr. Stacey L. Smith Oct. 19, 2017 In August 2017, the Building and Place Names Evaluation Workgroup began the process of generating historical reports on four OSU campus buildings and their namesakes under consideration. These buildings/namesakes were Arnold Dining Center (Benjamin Lee Arnold), Avery Lodge (Joseph C. Avery), Benton Hall and Annex (Thomas Hart Benton), and Gill Coliseum (Amory T. “Slats” Gill). The purpose of these reports was to gather and analyze historical evidence to explore, reveal, and contextualize the lives and viewpoints of the namesakes, and the histories of the buildings. Research Team Dr. Stacey L. Smith (OSU history department) assembled a research team made up of scholars from OSU and the broader Oregon community and coordinated the research with the OSU Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC). The research team scholars were chosen for their extensive professional credentials in history or related disciplines, their strong record of high quality research and publication, and their expertise on the eras in which the building namesakes lived or the controversies surrounding them. The research team included: Dr. Thomas Bahde (Arnold Dining Center): Thomas Bahde earned his Ph.D. in History from the University of Chicago, with an emphasis in the 19th-century United States and comparative slavery. He teaches in the Honors College at Oregon State University and is the author of The Life and Death of Gus Reed: A Story of Race and Justice in Illinois During the Civil War and Reconstruction (Ohio University Press, 2014).
