In a farewell speech on the last day of
class for winter term, one of my professors
urged us to be more concerned with our own
happiness than with money or prestige as we
chose our careers. He reminded us that none of
us have as much time on Earth as we think or
hope we will, and we should make every day
count as we live for what really matters. I was
truly touched.
I went up to my professor after class to
thank him. In the ensuing conversation, he
asked what my career plans were.
"I'm not sure what I want yet," I replied,
"maybe I'll just end up as a science writer on a
local paper."
"Oh, but you could do so much better than
that! A national paper at least!" he said.
This combination of events got me thinking. We Honors students spend a lot of time
feeling pressured to pursue prestigious and
lucrative careers, simply because we know we
have the ability to do so. But, just because we
can, does that necessarily mean we SHOULD?
What about the students whose fondest
ambition is to be an elementary school teacher
or a stay-at-home parent? These two paths
carry the most important responsibility within
our civilization: providing our children with
a strong foundation of knowledge and love.
Isn't that a worthwhile mark to leave on the
world? Shouldn't we be asking our best and
brightest to at least be open to these options?
Yet, in terms of pay and respect, teachers and
stay-at-home parents are among the most undervalued. Where are our priorities?
I would ask all iiy classmates to consider
this question: What shame is there in a humble
future if it's the one you want?
WINNER!

Writing a letter from the editor is a lot like
writing a college admissions essay. You've got
to be original, funny, insightful, and absolute/v
completely mind-blowing/v brilliant or your life
is ruined.
Okay, maybe that last part only applies to
the college admissions essay. I read something
online yesterday that said it's pretty much the
most important paper you'll ever write in your
life. No pressure, right? I've never gotten much
practical advice on writing this all-important
document. In high school the sample essay they
gave us concerned a boy who overcame great
diversity because he only had one arm. That's
kind of hard to top.
This year, the admissions essay reared its
ugly head again when I applied to grad school.
Grad school essays have become the bane of my
existence. I pretty much spent an entire summer and fall term thinking about what on earth
I was going to write. Now, I need to refine the

art of interviewing if I want to be more than just
talk. In other words, it never seems to end. My
advice to juniors: start now!
So maybe my letter from the editor isn't
as agonizing as all that. But I still feel the need
to offer some insight in this space, without
sounding too much like an admissions essay.
Honestly, the UHC made my college experience so much more valuable. I like where I am
nowin terms of the people and experiences
I've had through my majorbut those connections can take four years to fully develop. The
UHC was there from the very beginning, offering solid advice, a full jar of candy, and an
office full of friendly ears ready and willing to
listen. I wouldn't trade my experiences at the
UHC for anything, and I hope that, at the end of
four years, everybody here can say the same.

Art Missionary
by UHC Professor Charlotte Headri
All right, you have me in
a corner. I am a professor of
theatre arts in the Department
of Speech Communication in
the College of Liberal Arts. To
date, I have taught or supervised
several colloquia for the Honors
Co1lege one series was on our
1997-1998 Shakespeare season
and the other colloquia was on
how to experience a play.
After 22 years at Oregon
State, I sometimes still feel that
I am doing missionary work for
the arts on this campus. It is so
hard for me to understand why
all students don't take advantage of the wonderful theatre

program we offer here at
Oregon State. The University

theatre majorsand yes, we
do have a major!
While we welcome
everyone as actors and crew
on productions, we want to
see every freshman taking
advantage of all five productions (sometimes more) every
year and continuing to attend
the theatre until graduation.
That's 20 plays, 20 classics,
hours of entertainment, fun,
and knowledge. As I tell my
students, the more you know,

Of All the Places in the World...
We ask international students: Why OSU?
by Lea Wilson
A thick file labeled "study
abroad" hangs in my drawer, keeping the phone bills and old scholarship applications company. In it are
brochures, maps, general requirements, lists of estimated expenditures, and possible class equivalencies, all with highlighting and
careful notes-to-self in the margins.
I cannot wait to get out of here. But
it occurs to me that somewhere on
the other side of the world, another
eager college student rummages
through a stack similar to my own,
looking for the perfect school, and
somewhere right here on campus,
probably not more than a couple
of floors from me, is an exchange
student who already made that
decision. Why, when they had the
entire world to choose from, did
they choose Oregon State?
In fact, I do indeed live near
a foreign exchange student. Miyuki Kurihara, from Kanagawa,
Japan, is an international student
at Texas State University. She is
on exchange at OSU as an exercise and sports science major.
Miyuki will spend all four years
in the United States, returning
to Texas when her year at OSU
is done. When asked why she
chose OSU, she sat cross-legged
at her desk looking very Oregonian in her fleece pullover and
gave me a very honest answer.
She is at Oregon State because
her first two choices did not take
foreign students. That, and OSU
had a program that matched her
major. She explained to me that
she picked up a list of literally a
hundred schools, and the easiest
way to narrow down was by the
programs. Like many in college,
parental pressure was also pushing from the background, urging

to class and extracurriculars like

But Nancy has always looked
for a challenge, and never saw it
as something that she couldn't do.
After all, Nancy chose the fisheries
and wildlife major though science
is her worst subject. In fact, that's
the exact reason she chose it - to
improve.
"The purpose of undergrad is
to expand yourself," she says. "I
want to learn something new."
Next fall. Nancy will graduate
with a minor in French. She would
graduate in the spring if she worked
at the Hatfield Marine Center, but
she sacrificed a term to do crew
instead.
"You just schedule for it,"
Nancy says. "If you really want to
do it, you can."
She has to be to

grueling eight-minute
race, full of intensity
and anaerobic effort.
The team travels to
places such as Virginia, Seattle, and the
Bay Area to compete
against other schools.

Nancy says about
the team, "that it's

"Life is good," she says, "and deserves

D'Anna, however, never needs that random jolt in her family. The five-membered
Piro clan has always been close, continually
eating family dinners as far back as D'Anna
can remember. She doesn't need to be aggressive there. Her father, mother, two older
brothers, and she are perfectly content with

"We always pick on each other."
D'Anna says. "And fight."
Gymnastics, school, and family are routine for D'Anna. After all, they've all been
a part of her lifestyle since she joined the

But if she ever needs a

Tunisia: Not Just Camels
VII
VI
But they have that too!
by Douglas Van Bossuyt
Yes it's true. Tunisia does
have camels. In fact, it has a
lot of them. Tunisia, a Maghreb
(North African) state, is located
on the ancient caravan routes that
spanned the Sahara supplying
Imperial Rome with gold, spices,
slaves, and other more exotic
treasures. That's not all that Tunisia has though.
Tunisia is only about 150 ki-
lometers away from Sicily. This
has long made Tunisia an easy
target for foreign powers. First
the horsemen tribes of the East
swept across Tunisia somewhere
before 1000 BCE. Afewhundred years later the Phoenicians set
up shop. Rome came to control Tunisia after three long and bitter wars,
which ended in the complete destruction of the capitol city of Carthage.
Rome ruled Tunisia off and on from
146 BCE until the Islamic conquest
of Tunisia in 647 CE.
The marks of Rome and of the
Phoenicians can be seen all across
Tunisia to this day. At almost every
large town and many small villages
Roman or Phoenician ruins can
be seen or are known to be under
foot. Many of the oldest mosques of
the country are built with columns
scavenged from Roman ruins. In the
Grand Mosque in Kairouan alone
there are 414 of these borrowed pillars.
With the coming of Islam,
Tunisia came under the rule of yet
more foreign powers, this time from
Photos by Douglas Van Bossuyt
the East and, occasionally, from the
West. In 1881, France took over
Tunisia just as it had Morocco and
Algeria several years earlier. Tunisia still bears a heavy mark from
French occupation. Finally, in
1956, Tunisia was granted independence. This was the first time since
the horsemen of the East came out
of the Libyan Desert that Tunisia
was under its own self rule.
Today, Tunisia is a vibrant
quasi-socialist and quasi-democratic state sitting at the crossroads
between the Arab world, Africa,
the Mediterranean, and Europe.
The current president, Ben Ali, has
ruled Tunisia since 1987 when the
first president, Habib Bourguiba,
"retired" due to old age. President
Ben Ali just won a glorious victory
at the ballot boxes in November,
capturing an astounding 96 percent
of the vote for a third term in
office. Okay, so democracy
here might not be perfect, but
at least people are voting.
Now back to the camels.
When I first came to Tunisia
I expected to see a camel in
every garage and tied to every
lamppost. Instead, I found
that the vast majority of camels reside in the south in the
desert. Tunis, the capital city
and where I live, doesn't have
many camels. In fact, I haven't
seen any! The real spot to see
camels is in and around the
desert oases of the south. Douz

Determining the Morality of
Online Cigarette Purchase
A student essay by Mandi Wilson
What's a smoker to do? Though
their habit is disparaged by those
who do not share their vice, the existence of smokers in the U.S. cannot
be denied. The nation's anti-smoking
climate represents a cause of frustration for this segment of the population, largely because of the high cost
of cigarettes imposed by lawmakers
who levy high taxes on them. In addition to the three dollars and ninety
cents received by the federal government for every carton (ten packs) of
cigarettes, states charge their own
taxes, up to twenty-four dollars for
every carton in New Jersey ("State
Cigarette and Sales Taxes"). In
Kentucky, with the lowest rate, the
tax is thirty cents a carton; Oregon's
per-carton tax is twelve dollars and
eighty cents. The suggestion has
been made to increase the federal tax
by twenty dollars a carton (ibid.).
Because people are still interested in buying cigarettes-one estimate
places the proportion of U.S. smokers at a quarter of voters ("Information [. .1")-and because smokers
balk at paying such hefty fees for
their tobacco, a new means for obtaining cigarettes has surfaced. Now
cigarette stores that can sell relatively
inexpensive cigarettes because of
their locations in cheap cigarette-tax
states or on Native American reservations are providing websites where
their cigarettes can be bought. Customers then have their purchases sent
directly to them.
Although the federal govern.
ment receives its excise money
no matter what state a carton of
cigarettes is sold in, Internet sales
are not state-taxed. Therefore, for
instance, for every carton a New
Jersey smoker orders online, the
state loses twenty-four dollars in
taxes. In 1949 the Jenkins Act
went into effect, which requires
cigarette sellers who send cigarettes across state lines to provide
information about their customers
to state governments (Jones 3-4).
If a state knows who has purchased
cigarettes without paying the
proper tax, it can bill the smokers
for the past taxes; thus states have
an interest in making sure that the
Jenkins Act is followed (Jones 8).
Research in one article claimed
that five percent of cigarette retailers conducting business online or
by catalogue followed the Jenkins
Act requirement of reporting consumer information ("Information I.
.1"). Sellers on Native American
reservations "argue that they are
not required to charge state cigarette taxes or report sales to state
tax departments" (ibid.). Non-reservation sellers claim that paying
their own state's cigarette tax is
sufficient because "the sale takes
place in the state in which their
shop is located" (ibid.).
Aside from tax issues, Internet
cigarette vendors cannot examine
buyers' driver's licenses to check
that they are of age for tobacco
purchase. Customers are left to
abide by the honor system,
signifying through their use of
the vendor's website that they
are over eighteen.
The question is, are online
tobacco sales moral or immoral?
First, looking through a
consequentialist's lens, what
can be concluded from a rule
utilitarian analysis: would
more total happiness result
from smokers following the
rule that 'utilizing online cigarette purchase to evade excise
taxes is acceptable' or from
smokers following the law that
taxes should be paid and using
conventional means to obtain
their cigarettes? A careful
examination of the situation
reveals that many people can
be considered affected parties
to some degree. These parties
include smokers, online retailers, traditional retailers, state
governments and their employees, and ordinary citizens who
benefit from the services their
state governments provide with
monies gained from various
tax sources.
The availability of cigarettes online motivates some
smokers to stop purchasing
them from traditional stores.
Convenience stores' sales of
cigarettes and other tobacco
products can make up a third
of their business (Eilperin).

Oregon State University obirtually impossible for a cell to
tains many of its boasting rights
from its engineering programs.
One branch of this field is bioengineering, a field of engineering
that focuses on materials that
work with the body.
Inside laboratory walls is a
whirl of bioengineering-related
research that few are aware of.
Even I, a bioengineering major,
didn't know of the research activity within Gleeson, the center for us "BioE's," until I was
fortunate enough to work in lab
room 306.
In January 2005, 1 began
to work for Jeff Tai, a doctorate
student in chemical engineering.
He was working on the purification of nisin, an anti-bacterial
protein that is extracted from
lactobacteria found in cheese.
This material has recently
gained attention because of other
microbes' inability to gain a
resistance to it. Anti-microbial
agents such as penicillin kill
bacteria by interfering with their
ability to synthesize a cell wall.
Nisin attaches to the cellular
membranes of other bacteria
and penetrates into the wall like
water splitting open rock. The
cell bursts open due to internal
osmotic pressure like a submarine that has been punctured deep
underwater. For a cell to develop
a resistance to this would be like
a building developing a resistance to demolition balls. It is
evolve its structure without compromising the functions needed to
survive (McGuire).
This unique property of nisin
interested Dr. Joseph McGuire,
who coordinates the research done
around it. Because many problems arise from fighting bacterial
infections in medical instruments
inserted into the body, the ability to utilize nisin would benefit
humanity all the more.
The instrument in focus in
McGuire's research group is the
suction catheter. Catheters are
tiny plastic tubes inserted in the
body to supply it with nutrients
or remove wastes. Suction catheters are usually placed within a
breathing tube to clear the airways
of secretions in critically ill patients. Although these tubes are
inserted sterile, the likelihood of
patients developing pneumonia
is high (Bothwell). This is due to
the inability of the body's immune
systemits main defense against
infectionsto fight anything
"outside" of bodily functions.
White blood cells do not jump into
catheters to disinfect them.
Patients who have been
infected with Streptococcus
pneurnoniae are placed under
antibiotics such as penicillin. Unfortunately, these antibiotics have
helped to develop superbugs, bacteria that have become resistant to
conventional antibiotic treatment
(Kovalich). It is ideal to be able

to prevent the infection and should
this safety guard fail, to devise a
means to successfully eliminate the
problem.
Initially, the method of preventing infection was to dip the
catheter into nisin and then place it
in vivo into, say, a pony at OS U's
veterinary research hospital. Unfortunately, the nisin washes away
in less than six hours, hardly long
enough for an in-patient who stays
in the hospital for days or even
weeks on end (McGuire).
Here the necessity for research
comes in. Our research team is

Recently the College of Liberal Arts (of which I am a proud
mmber)distributd. water bottles prominentlporting the say
ing, "I think, therefore I am... a Liberal Arts major." Of course
th&phzas is a modified version of an origin4 quote by French..
philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650).
Eecartes-oiginally said 'I think, thqefore I am.' Well actually, I
believe he said it in Latin, which would sound something more ilk
'cdgito ergo sum,'-But, regayd1ss of the langqage, themeaning.
remains the same.
When faced with Descartes' as&ertion via any medium, be it
higher education or water bottle, one must ask: what happens in
the opposite case of this assertion? If thought equates reality and
therefore existence then whathappens in the absence of thought?
lam not tri9ng to start a philosophical debate about the meaning
of life, truth, reality or any other comparably ambiguous term.
Great minds havespent many centuriesdebating these very issues; this rigorous debate has resulted in... well, more debate and
the stimulus for many a thesis and dissertation. While! do not
pretend to know the answer to these questions, I find Descartes'
philosophy an interesting lens through'which to view my.college
career.
Over the last four years at Oregon State University I have takç a varief of classes such as art .
hisiry, chemistry, calculus, ethics of rhetoric, tectonic eomorphology, etc., etc. Although I have
thoroughly enjoyed my time at OSU, like many of my peers I have wondered just how much of this
informathn will be directly applicable or useful when I get out of 'college. Is highe'r education nothiiig
more than ante of passage, a meaningless joujuey full of trials anSI tribulations that one must endure
in 'order to be an accepted member of progressive society?
But just seeing Descartes' bold statement on my water bottle makes m reconsider my somewhat
cynical aiiaIjsis of the higher ducation systeni. While I may nevr again dfreci1y pply Aristotle' 1r
tistic proofs, or randomly feelthe need to differçntiate an equation, college has nonntheless positively
inHueñced my life. I may not retain all the informaliön\that I have glean&ffrom myillustrious college
caleer, but I will lea'se these hallowed halls with something much greater tbn the knowledge I have
gained.
College has cultivated my ability to be a crj!1cal thinker. No longer can I take a take a politician's
speech, a news report, an idvertisement, or even scientific research for gnhted. I analyze every
stimulus my senses consume. Where tlte world was once black and white it is now a myriad of color
and shade. And, I now have the choicelo accept,deny, or amend information in 1rder to fit my care-,
fully nurtured paradigm.
Oregon State University has changed the way in which I think. If indeed thought equates existence then I am a butterfly hatched fropi a cocoon of ignorance, born into a bright new promising real-
ity.1 think thereforel am. an Oregon State grad!
