Sarah Campbell, who earned a H.B.S. in Microbiology in 2002, explored quite a different field from her afore-
mentioned major in her thesis which centered onArthurian
Legend in the Modern Realm. She investigated the roles
that women played in the Arthurian tale (as told by Thomas
Malory) and studied their historical impact on the development of attitudes towards women today. While one
may frequently dismiss myths as children's
bedtime stories or moral lessons envel-
oped in a world of fantasy, Campbell
stipulated that "These beliefs are passed
down from generation to generation and
propagate themselves into something that is
a part of the heritage of the group even if these
beliefs are detrimental to the society in the mod-
ern age." Morgan Le Fay, traditionally seen as
a heartless, evil sorceress, is reinterpreted as
the most misunderstood and worthy female
heroine of the tale - posing as the one independent woman willing to go out on a limb
for her desires and ambitions. Yet the image that perpetuates our society is that of
the ever devoted, beautiful and fairly help-
less woman. It is suggested that the
Arthurian legend may in fact be responsible for the huge focus of our society today on outward
appearances, cosmetics, and fashion.
Sadie Wilson graduated in 2002 with a
H.B.S. in Speech Communication. Her thesis was one of the few that went against
the normal recommendation of avoiding subjects too personal/emotional,
yet did so with overwhelming success.
Sadie was the Student Body President of
events like these "can really happen at anytime, to anybody,
anywhere."
David Klinkenberg also graduated in June, 2002 with
an H.B.S. in Political Science. His thesis was the achieve-
ment every musician dreams of his own record deal with
Epic Records. Both a singer and a violinist, David documents his experience and gives tips for succeeding in the music world. Talent, contacts,
perseverance, and yes, even image are im-
portant. He familiarizes the reader with
general insight on picking the right manager, agent. producer and lawyer, and
demonstrates the role each individual
plays in the music business. His thesis also includes case studies of individual success stories that serve as models to
the aspiring musician or singer. Many would-
be musicians believe a record deal
comes equipped with top agents in ei-
ther Nashville or Los Angeles, but
David argues that finding the spotlight
requires more than just connections:
"those getting discovered met the right
people through hard work and dedication." Becoming famous is a multi-faceted
and often frustrating process, but the bottom line is hard work is essential in obtaining fame.

her master's degree in management in 1997. During her
Oregon State University has sent many successful students out into the world. Numerous graduates have achieved
substantial success and recognition in their respective fields.
Another OSU alumnus, Debbie Johnson.joins the ranks of
these elite graduates. Her story is not one of length, but of
depth. Since her graduation, Debbie has accomplished so
much that the College of Engineering awarded her the Outstanding Early CareerAchievementAward in 1999, an honor
only given to the elite few who accomplish a career's worth
of achievement in less than twenty years.
From the beginning Debbie showed promise for a bright future. She was a recipient of
the Presidential Scholarship and the sole recipient of the Mentor Graphics Scholarship
(a full ride scholarship from Mentor Graphics). During college, Debbie not only held a
3.9 grade point average but also participated
in kayaking, symphonic band, the Science
Math Investigative Learning Experience
(SMILE), and was a Girl Scout leader for at-
risk teens. Debbie worked as an intern at
stay in England, Debbie published some of her research done
for her master's degree.
Nortel Networks offered Debbie ajob working in telecommunications as a project manager in North Carolina.
During her first two years at Nortel she received three promotions, she went from project manager to manager, manager to senior manager, and senior manager to Director of
Engineering for the Nortel circuit board assembly plant in
Raleigh. While Debbie worked for Nortel, she received the
Nortel Top Talent Award, and was one of only thirty
people to be selected regionally to the Leadership Raleigh program through the Chamber
of Commerce.
After two years as the director of engineering (which was divested to Solectron).
Debbie quit herjob to raise her two children (now 2/2 and 3'/2 years old). In January of 2002, Debbie accepted a teaching position in the College of Engineering at Oregon
State University, where her intensely successful engineering career originated. She
teaches honors statics and is working
on a committee including members of
the College of Engineering and the
College of Business to create an en-
Intel after high school and then at Mentor Graphics in Wi Isonville after her first
year ofcollege. Mentor Graphics also
provided Debbie with an internship in
Germany after her second year.

DAM THE BREACHING
POETRY AND ART
The Poem
By Crystal lves
Adam
Sherman
Troubled soul and anguished heart
Unite to form the embryo
Safely housed in an iron shell
Countenance disguised that none may know.
What beast lies beneath the façade
Terrified, dark, alone and forlorn?
Ever struggling to break free of its prison
Until the moment the poem is born.
Lake Timpanogas
By Thom Young
Such depth, such grace, such beauty
Fluidity

This creature with polished
Golden scales.
Why did you swallow the stars?
Why did you consume the Universe?
There's no point in playing innocent with me

As I peer down at your complacent waters
My eyes penetrate your unfathomable depths
Your impassive beauty beguiles dark intentions
But I can see through your transparent facade
Born of fear, trials and tears
Emotion flowing as lifeblood
Crystal wings unfold in the darkness
Light cascading like a flood.
I can see The Stars of the Big Dipper shining
Who can truly comprehend
Gasping for air from beneath your placid surface
This
creature
of strife and broken heart?
Shuddering with fear, longing for home
Yet its glance is captivating
Trapped forever beneath your liquid sky
From it my eyes cannot part
The Moon, too, stares from within your wet dungeon
Eyes wide and mouth agape
Who could imagine such scintillating beauty
Lines etched into his weary face
Rising from the deepest pit?
The Wind feels betrayed by your malevolent actions
I may not understand the creature
She parted with a final whisper,
"Farewell to lost love"
She has abandoned you to flirt with other waters
The black Forest stares at you, alone and perplexed
Arms outstretched, questioning your cosmic depths
Autumn Romance
Roots clenched like sharp talons
By Jacob Rankin
Frustration unleashed into the dark soil
Through which your wicked life-blood seeps
I love the autumn months
The Mountain towers high with a smirk on her brow
I love the leaves that fall
Now she rules the heavens with a narcissistic embrace
But Pumpkin Pie, you're the one
Jagged crown on her head, declaring dominion over all
I love most of all.
She nods faintly at you for usurping the stars
You tantalize my taste buds
Entranced by the fear of the captured Universe
Your spices are an art
I dread The Moon's intimate knowledge of your abyss
You
not
only
have my attention
me
But the dark mystery of your void casts a Siren spell upon
You have my heart.
Foreboding liquid midnight too much to resist
I love not so much the flaky crust
As I gaze from the boat back into your depths
But in the middle, din'
I feel a deep longing to feel deeper yet
Proving true beauty isn't on the outside
So I implore of you with fearful curiosity
It comes from deep within
Lake Timpanogas, "When will you swallow me?"
