My office is upstairs at the CH2M HILL Alumni Center. Nearby are huge student park- ing lots; a complex of residence halls; the Beth Ray Center for Academic Support, and the beautiful Centro Cultural César Chávez. Reser Stadium and Gill Coliseum are across the street. Beyond them is the Sports Performance Center, where varsity athletes train. Students are everywhere: Heading to or from class, studying as they walk. Trudg- EDITOR’S EDITOR’S ing sleepy-eyed toward pre-dawn workouts (or limping back from them with ice bags taped to shins or knees or shoulders). Leaning into the wind and rain, hands in >> pockets, hurrying toward the upper campus. Sitting romantically close together on a fog-shrouded bench in an otherwise empty Parker Plaza, quietly sipping hot drinks. When I pay attention, I’m reminded of how much less pressure there was on us as we headed toward graduation in 1978, confident that our degrees would get us jobs we loved. Mine did. OSU students paid $246 a term for resident tuition and fees when I was a senior; this year — despite OSU ranking as one of 44 bargain universities in North America — it’s $3,336 a term. A year’s room and board in Bloss costs them more than $12,000; in 1977 Bloss residents paid about $1,500. During my college years, without even filling out an application I could get a summer job pulling boards on a green chain and make enough money to cover a year at OSU. Today’s students would have to make something like $70 an hour to do that. I don’t know how much of this they know as I pass them on my restorative strolls, but they don’t seem to hold a grudge. Out of 20 of them I’ll get a dozen quiet but smiling nods, several friendly greetings and, if one is an ROTC cadet in uniform, a crisp “Good morning, sir!” I return to my office reminded that we don’t publish the Oregon Stater just for kicks. We do it in the belief that if we show you what’s happening here, you’ll want to remain connected. We hope you’ll be moved to lend a hand — to convince your sharp young nephew or niece to give OSU a look, to tell your representatives with letters and votes that you want better support for public higher education, and yes —and I make no apologies for this — to give, when possible, of your time and treasure. If you don’t see why that might be worthwhile, give me a call while classes are in session. You can stop by and we’ll go for a walk. q — Kevin Miller ’78, editor OREGON STATER Photographer: Hannah O’Leary ’13 Copyright 2016 by the OSUAA, Designers: University Relations and 204 CH2M HILL Alumni Center, Winter 2016, Vol. 101, No. 1 Marketing design team Corvallis, OR 97331-6303.

    Jodie Davaz Oral History Interviews, May 27, 2014 Title “Student Media in a World of Change” Date May 27, 2014 Location Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary In her first interview, Davaz provides a brief overview of her background, the birth of her interest in digital culture and the path that she traveled from her upbringing in northern Idaho to her undergraduate education at OSU. From there she lends detailed insight into her work at the campus radio station, KBVR-FM, discussing the progression of her own work as well as the culture of the station, its technical infrastructure, and its forthcoming move to new quarters. Davaz also provides perspective on the local music scene in Corvallis. Another major theme of the session is the decline in interest within the student body for the Beaver Yearbook and Davaz' aspirations for a new publication, Beaver's Digest, that will take its place. The interview concludes with Davaz answering questions about contemporary attitudes on campus, including her thoughts on issues of importance to students of the day as well as student perceptions of Oregon State University.

The east side of the complex houses some of the finest ame- nities in all of college and NFL football, including the popular Club and Loge, and a new playing surface (FieldTurf) was installed prior to the 2012 season. Prior to the 2016 season the popular Terrace was introduced to Reser Stadium providing a unique fan experience showcasing the state’s premier food and beverage. In 2017 the expanded Valley Football Center opened to further modernize the on-campus Reser Stadium. Over the last 10 years the capacity of the stadi- um has increased by 11,000 and now features some of the best viewing in all of college football. The OSU student-body sits directly behind the Beavers’ bench along the east sidelines, with pas- sionate fans in other sections. One of the unique aspects of the stadium is that the seating is close to the field, giving OSU a distinct home field advan- tage.

    Bud Ossey Oral History Interviews, November 4, 2014 Title “Building Powerhouses and the Beaver Club” Date November 4, 2014 Location Ossey residence, Tualatin, Oregon. Summary Interview #2 begins with Ossey's memories of Oregon State's participation in the 1942 Rose Bowl, played in Durham, North Carolina on account of the war. He then shares the story of the founding of The Buck of the Month Club, OSC's first athletics booster organization, which later become the Beaver Club, of which Ossey is a charter member. He likewise discusses his interactions with major figures in Oregon State's past athletics history - including Tommy Prothro, Percy Locey, Slats Gill and Dee Andros - his own experiences broadcasting Beaver basketball games from Gill Coliseum, the evolution of OSU's athletics facilities, and the growth of its baseball program. The session then shifts focus to Ossey's career working for the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bonneville Power Administration. He describes his involvement as a civil engineer in the construction of numerous power houses along rivers in Oregon and Washington. He also speaks of the flooding of Celilo Falls and of designing methods for fish to navigate through the dams constructed on the Columbia River. After reflecting on family life during his working years, Ossey turns his attention once more to the history of Oregon State athletics, commenting on his interactions with athletes Ed Lewis and Terry Baker, and broadcasters Ted Carlson and Don Essig. He also details his work as a fundraiser for the athletic department, his involvement with numerous additional organizations working to advance OSU, his receipt of two awards from the university, and his pride at Oregon State's recent accomplishments as an institution.
