It’ll be kind of a surprise to This simple memorial pays tribute see if it even survives. not to any former faculty or alumni, but to an entire culture. If someone were to break open the Kent Sumner wall behind the plaque, they’d find Assistant director of Memorial Union marketing and assessment relics of a bygone era placed inside a time capsule buried in 1978 as part of the MU’s 50th anniversary celebra- ‘‘ tion. The capsule is scheduled to be opened in 2028. Kent Sumner, assistant director of Memorial Union marketing and assessment, said in all the years he’s worked in the building, he’s never come across any record of what was sealed away in ’78, or even what kind of container the capsule is. “It’ll be kind of a surprise to see if it even survives,” Sumner said. According to “More Than a Building: The MU at OSU,” a written record of the historic building’s long history, the capsule contains “relevant materials” from both the year-long celebration and student activity, painting a vivid image of Oregon State as it was in the Carter administration. OSU alumna Laura Oldenkamp, who attended in the late ‘70s, said that for a fee, students were allowed to add their own contributions. In her case, Oldenkamp added a document detailing the poultry science club’s activities at the time.
