In Defense of Library
Masturbation
endra Sunderland, the woman
media outlets insist on degrading
by calling “Library Girl,” has pleaded
not guilty, claiming that the video was
recorded and released without her
consent. Is that a great legal defense?
Not really, considering the crime was
the fact that she did it, not that it
was recorded. But it’s an incredibly
important point to make, because
the deeper issue we should be looking
at here has nothing to do with the
library and everything to do with how
a woman is being treated because of
the cultural context of the crime she’s
accused of.
What was once one video is now well
over a dozen because her identity
went national and anyone in possession
of a cam feed recording of her has
re-uploaded them with her name
attached. Pornographic actors and
actresses have long used pseudonyms
to protect themselves from this kind
of breach despite their work being
completely legal, yet our culture feels
the need to victimize them further once
they’ve been outed.
Personally, as someone who has sworn
allegiance to individualize sovereignty,
the entire thing makes me sick to my
stomach. I find it impossibly frustrating
that the media has avoided the
issue altogether and all school and
city officials have done is the public
relations pee-pee dance. You’d think
those fancy master’s degrees would
get you a rhetoric more than one step
above the commenter on the GazetteTimes joking about how her lawyer
should “drill his client a little better. HA
HA HA.”
The important thing happening here is
that a woman’s life has been turned
upside down through no fault of her
own, but we’re all too fixated on a pair
of exposed breasts in the OSU library to
address it. Par for the course in a society
that hates women.

ver since the tsunami that hit
Japan caused a gate over hell
to open and nuclear-tainted sushi
to roam free across the planet,
Oregonians have been bracing
themselves for the possibility of one
hitting here. Good news, doomsday
preppers: a team of engineers at
OSU have just released what they’re
calling “one of the most precise
evaluations” yet on the effects of a
tsunami hitting the Columbia River.
David Hill, an associate professor
of civil engineering at OSU and one
of the authors of the study, noted
their surprise at discovering that
the tides were much more important
to the potential damage than the
amount of water flowing in the river.
“The maximum reach of a tsunami
on the Columbia will be based on the
tidal level at the time, and of course
This is all good news, and the best
part is that it’s more reliable good
news than we’ve ever had before
on the subject, due to the extensive
research by the team at OSU.
the magnitude of the earthquake
causing the event,” Hill commented
in a press release.
The main bullet points are:
• Water level increase of about 11.5
to 13 feet just offshore.
• 25 miles downriver, near Welch
Island, water would rise only
about 1.6 feet.
• 50 miles in, near Longview, WA,
water would have no measurable
change.
“There have been previous models
of Columbia River run-up as a
result of a tsunami, but they had
less resolution than this work,”
said Hill in the press release. “We
carefully considered the complex
hydrodynamics, subsidence of
grounds that a tsunami might cause,
and the impacts during different
scenarios.”
The flood maps they created with
this research can now help land
owners and land use planners make
preparations for such an event,
which hopefully will not happen
until after I’ve moved away.

City Club of Corvallis has teamed
with the League of Women Voters
for a moderated town hall of sorts on
this whole subject.
According to City Club,
“The goal: articulate
grass roots priorities for
community livability.
By gathering residents
to describe what makes
Corvallis a great place to
live and documenting the features
that we value, these organizations
will help set the stage for further
consideration of a vision for the
city’s future.”
The forum is on Monday, March

As the State Turns
By Johnny Beaver
Disaster Movie Cost Fun, Too Lit Up Maybe, and Other Miscellany
Poltergeist V or Jaws VII or
Cover Oregon
Just when you thought it was safe
to read “As the State Turns”...
I have more to say about Cover
Oregon. Though the corporation
that runs the failed hack job of
a health care exchange is being
dissolved in a vat of acid as we
speak, it’ll be leaving a snail trail
of debt behind it—to the tune of
hundreds of millions of dollars.
And just to pour salt in the wound,
millions of that are tied to legal
costs and other random nonsense.
If you recall, $300 million alone
was borrowed from the feds to fire
the damn thing up, not to mention
another $26 million in state
money. And we can’t forget that $3
million of that went to those awful
hipster commercials, as well as
the billboards (but I won’t pick on
those because I liked them... media
bias at work!).
So where did other chunks of
the money go?
• $240 million went to Oracle,
the company that developed the
exchange website.
• $9.1 million was spent hiring a
ton of people to process paper
applications by hand when the
exchange wasn’t working.
• $1 million was paid to First
Data’s useless assessment of the
system and Clyde Hamstreet’s
Super Ultra Turnaround Team
that, coincidentally, was also
useless.
• $1.9 million paid attorneys to
threaten Oracle’s attorneys.
• $6.6 million was spent on
an assessment of the broken
exchange and suggestions about
how to get the horizontal mambo
with the federal exchange going.
• $23 million went to some other
failed stuff that’s too depressing
to talk about.
And let’s not forget, that’s the
snail, not the trail. What’s to come
has a lot of unknowns attached to
it, but will undoubtedly total in the
tens of millions. If the state goes
for the jugular in court against
Oracle, the financial burdens
might go poof in an explosion of
smoke and the $5.5 billion they’re
asking for... but I’m not planning
on holding my breath.
Weed vs. Electricity: The Battle
of Ashland
Indoor pot operations threaten
to jack electricity prices up in
Ashland, which has some residents
feeling a little... stoned. Okay, that
didn’t work. I just really wanted to
use a pun.
Oregon’s favorite little “I’ve heard
of it but I’ve never been” attraction,
Ashland is on a system where the
city purchases power from the
Bonneville Power Administration.
With extremely power-hungry
grow houses poised to crop up as
soon as pot legalization is given
the full green light, citizens
and officials are afraid that the
increased consumption will bump
them up from a Tier 1 consumer to
a Tier 2 consumer with the power
administration, which would come
action-packed with rate hikes.
City administrator Dave Kanner
has informed the city that he will
be presenting them with proposals
to help meet the issue head on, but
no direct plan has been detailed as
of yet. One possible solution, even
if it is just partial, likely lies within
standards for lighting, heating,
ventilation, and the like, forcing
growers to use power-saving
equipment.
When asked for comment, one
anonymous grower merely said,
“Gnarly.” Good lord, I am not
funny today at all.
Tidbits, Anyone?
The snow depth at Crater Lake
has hit a record low, despite being
at 104% of its normal precipitation.
The reason? It has been warmer
out. Please, please, take a moment
to step back and calm your nerves.
I know this was shocking.
Multnomah County reports a
total of 240 cases of syphilis
in 2013, which is several times
more than was reported just a few
years earlier. In fact, the disease
was almost completely wiped
out on a national scale before
2000. Now that it’s making a big
comeback, we can only imagine
that it has something to do with
the millennials’ obsession with
everything “retro.”
Portland city leaders are about
to get a face full of “Ban the Box,” a
movement
that has been
campaigning to
remove the “Have you
been convicted of a felony?”
question from all job applications
in the city. Considering our
country’s entire penal philosophy
is that of rehabilitation, it might
be nice for those who have served
their time to actually stand a
chance at finding a job. There is, of
course, bickering about minutiae
on both sides (okay, only the
opposition’s side), but c’est la vie.
I’ve personally seen a few people
get completely boned by the system
and suffer for it for many years
after their release, so I can only
imagine how often this goes on
across the country. Hell, I’ve had
huge difficulty finding part-time
work and I’m squeaky clean. And
charming as hell.
Bill Currier was selected to be
the new chairman of the Oregon
Republican Party. And that’s
literally the extent of how much
anyone cares about that.

Cars: Hybrids andMyan
E
lectric Compared
’91 Lincoln Wasn’t Self-Conscious… No, Not at All
By Maggie Nelson
Honda Fit EV
Ford Fusion Hybrid
etting out to find the best hybrid
or fully electric vehicles available
on the Corvallis new car market, my
trusty ’91 Lincoln Town Car and I
had been tasked by some editorial
dice roll to follow two rules in our
search: to only consider cars available
locally, and further to select the most
efficient model on each lot.
gallon less on average than the Civic,
and they both get a city average of 44
miles per gallon. I prefer the drive of
the Fusion overall, based mainly on
comfort.
S
I started with the Honda Civic and
meandered all the way to a fully
electric Nissan Leaf. On the way, I
tested the Ford Fusion, the Prius and
Prius C, and finally the Volkswagen
Jetta Hybrid. There are other hybrids
available in Corvallis, but I included
only those which achieved the highest
miles per gallon offered on each lot.
I did a simple assessment based
mainly on style, comfort, handling,
and agility.
Honda Gadget Love
Although no longer available to
lease, I got to ride in the owner of
University Honda’s personal Honda
Fit EV, which was disappointingly
less like a spaceship and more just
like a human-sized RC car. The
Civic Hybrid however, had the most
intriguing gadgets and gizmos of all
Toyota Prius
the green cars I test drove here in
Corvallis. The 2014 Civic Hybrid gets
a combined city and highway average
of 45 miles per gallon, and has a
sportier look to it than most hybrids.
The brakes seemed to be a tad on the
touchier side and the blind spots were
rather egregious, but the Civic made
up for these downfalls with a nifty
passenger-side camera, known as the
LaneWatch. As you signal to turn,
this camera turns on, displaying all
the pesky areas you can’t see in the
mirror or in your peripheral vision.
For a place like Corvallis, where
bicyclists run rampant, some obeying
traffic laws and others cycling under
prison rules, this sort of camera truly
comes in handy.
Ford Luxo-Shark Comfort
Next I hit up Ford and checked out
the Fusion Hybrid. This hybrid
seems to be marketed toward
the ultra-macho but ecologically
attentive community in fear of being
emasculated by the other Priusstyle hybrids. It doesn’t conform to
the aerospace, turtle shape of many
hybrids, and instead resembles
something more aggressive,
somewhat shark-like. Although
seemingly more like a luxury sedan
in build, in terms of leg space,
especially in the backseat, the Fusion
seems much snugger than the Civic
and Prius. It only gets 3 miles per

Toyota Gets Cargo Space Gold
While the Prius C will never be much
of a “grocery getter” and had a bit of a
cheap feel to it, there’s no ignoring its
combined city and highway rating of
50 miles per gallon. I would suggest a
little more patience with the C when
accelerating onto highways. It’s a bit
sluggish, even compared to Eco Mode
in the Leaf. The Prius has the same
average miles per gallon as the C, but
scores much higher on the comfort
and interior style scale. I found the
gas/electric display of the Prius to be
a bit unnecessary and distracting. At
times I found myself playing a game
trying to only light up the battery
section of the electronic display car
on the console, rather than trying to
stay on the road. I’d say the Prius
takes the gold for extra cargo space
and roominess, but lags far behind
in style. I also felt the Prius lacked
in agility compared to some of the
others.

Cuteness
Where all of the other vehicles I
saw were wanting in cuteness,
the Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
compensated for its competitors.
This vehicle seems to be aimed at
a younger market with its sportier
feel and peppy handling. It can
certainly compete at an average of
45 miles per gallon, but costs a bit
more in comparison to its hybrid
counterparts with a sticker price of
just a dash over $32,000. Despite
the higher price, I continually found
myself returning to this one, quite
possibly because of the genuine and
surprisingly non-villainous sales
reps I encountered at the dealership,
but more likely because of the style,
smooth transitioning, and agility.
Not to mention, I won’t actually be
dropping any real dough on this
vehicle—I am a writer, after all.

However, I didn’t feel nearly as
akin to an Australian fairy working
to save my beloved FernGully as I
hoped I would. Perhaps if my drab
salesman were more of a kooky
Robin Williams character, I could
have better entertained the fantasy.
Outlandish expectations aside, the
Leaf had decent get up and go, unless
switched to Eco Mode, which is a
battery-saving drive mode. I test
drove the 2015 Leaf S, which gets a
combined city and highway average
of 114 miles per gallon gasoline
equivalent. The Leaf gets an average
range of about 84 miles per charge,
and can be fully recharged in about
five hours with a 240 volt charger.
If you drive primarily in town and
can bring yourself to drive a car
reminiscent of a Pokemon character,
then the Leaf seems to be a pretty
smart investment.
Nissan Offers Fully Electric Leaf
As I pulled up to these dealerships
in my Detroit parade float, I got
more than a few second glances. In
fact, while nearly laying frame in
the Keiffer Nissan lot, a few lovely
salesmen emerged from their cozy
office chairs just to step outside and
throw a couple pesky remarks my
way. My predetermined impressions
of driving the Nissan Leaf were not
terribly far off from the real thing.

Conclusions
According to my painstakingly
scientific testing, or lack of a quick
dodge in an editorial meeting, these
are the top hybrid and electric cars on
the Corvallis market today. What it
comes down to is lifestyle and budget.
As for me, street cred is a much
higher priority than gas mileage, or
more truthfully, because my humble
writer’s budget can’t allow for such
extravagances at this time, I’ll have
to stick with my trusty Town Car.
orvallisite Jerry Rooney has
taken the Smart Car idea to a
new level: he is the proud owner
of an ELF tricycle. The
ELF is a pedal, solar,
and electric hybrid,
traveling at top speeds
of 20 miles per hour
and weighing about
150 pounds. The ELF
can be powered by
pedaling or by running
the electric motor,
which has a 14-mile range when run
continuously. When Rooney initially
purchased the ELF, the tricycle
cost $4,000 as a special Kickstarter
incentive. Today, the cost is around
$5,500.
Manufactured in Durham, North
Carolina by Organic Transit, the ELF
bike is legally allowed anywhere
a bike can go. Equipped with a
protective shell, headlights, side
mirrors, brake, and turn signals,
the ELF bike proves spacious, and
in Rooney’s opinion, safer than a
bicycle due to increased visibility.
Rooney has been an avid bike rider
for many years, and
strongly believes that
anybody who is able
to should “get around
on their own will.”
Rooney is pleased
with the comfort and
convenience his ELF
provides, and has had
only a few issues with
maintenance and durability.
Upon purchase, the ELF is shipped
from Durham, a process that
can take up to seven months.
Although the wait time may be a
bit dismaying, the benefits of the
ELF are undeniable. The ELF has zero
emissions, shelters the driver from the
weather, and provides exercise to
the extent that one pedals. In a city
such as Corvallis, known for its bike
friendliness, you may start seeing
more of these.

Little-Known OSU Emergency Food Pantry
Gets National Attention
There Is a Free Lunch… Breakfast and Dinner, Too
Words by Christian Smith and Photos by Lauren Nichols
W
ith online access codes,
ridiculous parking rates, and
the increasingly overpriced oncampus stores, it is becoming more
and more difficult for some students
to cover basic necessities. Though gas
prices are thankfully down for the
moment, food costs continue to rise
globally. Eating instant noodles every
night of the week is a surprisingly
viable option when faced with a choice
between healthy food or student
loan payments. Luckily, student
volunteers have taken the initiative
to alleviate the problem a bit here in
Corvallis.
distributions only twice per month,
usually on a Monday or Wednesday
(with some exceptions). This might
seem to lessen the “emergency”
nature of the pantry, though they do
have an additional system in place to
account for this. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on normal weekdays you can head to
Snell Hall Room 233 where they keep
a few nonperishable items handy for
students who find themselves in a
pinch. Since the organization is run
by students who work on a volunteer
basis, it is limited by a shortage of
funding and resources that would
allow the pantry to be fully open more
often. Funding comes mostly from
regular donations and fundraisers at
this time.
Located on campus at OSU’s Snell
Hall/MU East International Forum,
the Emergency Food Pantry is an
invaluable resource for Corvallis
residents with food insecurity. Run
by students, and in collaboration with
Linn-Benton Food Share and the
Oregon State University Foundation,
the pantry provides food that is free,
safe, and easily accessible to those in
need. Food is prepared off-site, then
organized at the pantry inside cooled,
frozen, and dry rooms. Participants
are given snacks and videos to watch
while they wait in line.
Although the pantry aims to be a
highly charitable function for the
community, it is still a relatively
unknown resource compared to other
campus programs such as student
tutoring or the Counseling and
Psychological Services (CAPS), which
garner more consistent publicity.
The pantry office receives many calls
from other schools asking about
their process and model. There is
apparently some appreciation for
the program across the nation and
even internationally, with at least
one South Korean school expressing
interest. A more widespread and
larger Emergency Food Pantry
initiative could very well attain
greater funding and much-needed
publicity for this type of student-run
organization.
Anywhere from 50 to 150 households
are supported by this initiative,
depending on the time of year and
whether the school term is in session.

Deputy and Reporter Talk Stray Dogs, Policy Changes
I
was taking my dog for a walk
on a recent afternoon when two
unfamiliar pooches joined us from
parts unknown. Unfortunately,
Brown and White, as I would come
to call them, had no tags. In my
experience, most strays will find
their way home. But these two were
more interested in following me to
mine.
So, I dropped off my own pup at
home and grabbed two leashes.
We walked the neighborhood. But
Brown and White didn’t lead me to
any open gates, and no neighbors
recognized the pair. We headed
back to my house, but my pooch
made it clear she would not be
allowing any strays into her house.

Drop-by tours every Friday or by appointment any day
I called Animal Control and got a
Corvallis Police Department (CPD)
operator, and was informed that
the Animal Control officer was off
duty until morning. I explained
that I could not keep the strays at
my house. The operator advised me
to “let them go, and hope that they
find their way home.”
Flustered, I called the nonemergency number for the Benton
County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO).
This operator gave me the same
answer. She explained that the
BCSO Animal Control officer, even
if she were on duty, would not pick
up a stray within city limits.
As luck would have it, I had
previously interviewed Animal
Control officers Michele Tracy
(CPD) and Erica O’Neil (BCSO)
for a different article. According to
both officers, CPD and BCSO have
access to Animal Control vehicles
and equipment when they are off
duty. Both departments also have
24/7 access to Heartland Humane
Society, where stray and dangerous
animals are kenneled. In cases
when an animal is dangerous but
Animal Control is off duty, a police
officer or sheriff’s deputy will
respond.
But on this day, I was being
advised to put these two stray
dogs into a potentially dangerous
situation, releasing them to fend for
themselves.
I have since reached out to both
CPD and BCSO to clarify their
policies. Corvallis Police Lt. Cord
Wood confirmed the policy of his
department, which he referred to as
a “community policing” approach.
During Animal Control off-hours,
they advise callers to deliver the
animals to Heartland or keep them
until Animal Control comes back
on duty. There is no third option.
Wood confirmed that CPD will not
send an officer unless the dog is
dangerous.
He pointed out that CPD would love
to have a full-time Animal Control
officer, but only has the budget for
their current part-time position.
“We do the best we can with the
resources we have,” Wood said.
BCSO Sgt. Randy Hiner stated
that deputies do pick up strays,
even when Animal Control is off
duty, but he would discover later
that this was not reflected in BCSO
policy. The operator referred to
current policy correctly when she
stated that no deputy would come
to aid Brown and White.
Sgt. Hiner has since changed the
Animal Control program policy to
reflect the more helpful practice.
803.4.9.2 Residents finding
stray animals may turn the
animal over to its lawful
owner, transport the animal
to the Heartland Humane
Society, or hold the animal
until the Animal Control
Program Manager or a Patrol
Deputy is available to come
pick it up. So the next time you find yourself
rescuing a stray dog on a holiday or
a weekend, I recommend calling the
Sheriff’s Office. If you call the CPD,
you might not get an answer you
can live with.
As to Brown and White, a generous
neighbor took them in for the night
and they were reunited with their
family the next morning.

U.S. regulators doing to better protect the
hundreds of millions of Americans who
live near one of the nation’s 99 operating
nuclear reactors, including the Columbia
Generating Station (CGS) in Washington
State? What are some of the known risks
at CGS and what is being done to address
them? And what is the future of nuclear
power in the Northwest in the face of
climate change?

Folk bands, Corvallis, folk bands. What can I tell
you; if you’re not in the mood for some sort of folk
band on any given night, you may want to invest
in starting your own non-Americana slinging
outfit. In the meantime, Mr. or Mrs. Picky, you’ll
just have to settle for these really quite talented
bunches out of Portland. This show will be a
good one to attend with a beard, if that’s in your
repertoire. The Moonshine is an enjoyable genrebender that feels a bit like if Paul Westerberg
started a folk band. Only, you know, I might
actually go to see this group.

this rock ‘n’ roll revival is going to something
something Boris the Spider. Oh duh, Substitute… I

Rob Wynia is Corvallis’ renaissance man. This

($6 for students)
La Sells Stewart Center, 875 SW 26th
St. 5:30 p.m. Free
OSU Valley Library, 201 SW Waldo Pl.
7:30 p.m. Free
The Giustina Gallery at La Sells will be the site of this
non-juried art show for students from elementary,
middle, and high schools around Corvallis. All
mediums will be showcased, and if your kid is one of
the artists being showcased, I’m sure you’ll be there
anyway. I like to go with 10 or 15 of my really fit and
well-dressed friends and then walk around chuckling
rudely at the work. It may hurt their feelings now, but
in the long run we’re going to make great artists out
of these kids.
Boully’s books, including The Body (2002) and
The Book of Beginnings and Endings (2007), have
won her international acclaim for her creativity
and form-bending ingenuity. See her speak live at
the Valley Library and get a book signed. Take my
advice and don’t show up with 20 copies of each
of her books and ask her to sign them all but to
“leave the name blank.” Not only will she not do
it for you, but signed books aren’t worth anything
anyway. It’s not 1993 anymore.
The name of this group is a little misleading,
right? They’re more about contra dancing and
roots music than dwarves and faeries, and I’d
much rather this was a freaky LARP dance.
Still, contra dancing is crazy fun, and it’s more
rewarding than your current plan to sit at home
and make YouTube videos of yourself ranking the
different brands of mayonnaise by blind taste test.
I mean, the production value is surprisingly good,
and I never expected your extensive use of green
screens. But I am worried about your cholesterol
level…

Contra Dance
I hate to be the one to advocate hecklers for the
kids, but American exceptionalism is suffering from
the touchy-feely European socialism of patting these
kids on the back all the time. The HVCC kids are a
talented, hardworking bunch, but I just don’t think
they’re going to take the next step unless we unload
some needlessly cruel punishment on them. But
let’s keep the criticisms music-related here, people.
I want to see catcalls about intonation, phrasing,
and timbre, not about fashion or any other aesthetic
touches. We’re trying to create superstars...
The Music Man
Corvallis High School Theatre, 1400
NW Buchanan Ave. 7 p.m. $10 ($8 for
students, $5 for youth)
Speaking of torturing kids to improve their
performances, I’ve actually seen this show, and
these kids are damn good. Somebody’s clearly
already tortured them with the high expectations
of the American stage tradition. That or they’re just
competently managed and directed by a caring
bunch of professionals. I’m betting on torture,
though. The Music Man is being produced live this
year by NBC, and is a classic of the stage and screen,
so you’ll have plenty of material to compare these
kids to. It’s the American way.

Community Movie Night
Monday, March 9
The Jordan World Circus
Benton County Fairgrounds, 110 SW
53rd St. 7 p.m. $18 ($14 for children)
I love a good circus. The clowns are terrifying,
and occasionally profound. The animals are
tragic and depressing. The ringmaster is
underwhelming and unintentionally hilarious.
And I may be suppressing some traumatic
event from my childhood, but I have the
distinct feeling that acrobats are evil… plus I
get nausea and vertigo whenever I smell hay
or cannon fuse burning. Aaaaaanyway… the
circus is in town… yay.
Science Pub
Old World Deli, 341 SW 2nd St. 6 p.m.
Free
The title of this edition of Science Pub is “In
Hot Water: Investigations Beneath the Earth’s
Surface Using Electromagnetic Methods.”
Wake me when it’s over, right bros? Anyone?
No? Oh, this is a really awesome and popular
event, you say? My bad… misread the crowd.
Okay then, let’s try this again; don’t miss this
fascinating and fun science night out when it
returns to the Old World with speaker Adam
Schultz from CEOAS at OSU. You’ll be smarter
and, if their business strategy is working at
all, more full of sandwiches for your trouble.
Darkside Cinema, 215 SW 4th St.
7 p.m. Free
Before these shows begin, Ygal frequently likes
to give a “tasteful racism” warning. Some
of the classics of CMNYK and the film reels
and other goodies he shows beforehand have
some old-timey offensiveness in them. Well,
let me do him a favor and give that warning
extra early this week. It’s Abbott & Costello’s
Africa Screams (1949). The two extremely white
comedy legends go on a safari adventure,
in a continent that’s one unending string of
stereotypes, in search of diamonds. Racism and
hilarity abound. This film is a Kanye-composed
score away from being a deep satire on
exploitation. As it is, it’s just kind of offensive
and amazingly entertaining.
Celtic Jam
Imagine Coffee, 5460 SW Philomath
Blvd. 7 p.m. Free
If you show up to this event wearing Notre
Dame gear, things will legitimately jump off.
I’ve been to this thing, and while they seem like
a pleasant bunch of low-key artist types, they
will absolutely sock you in the face if you wear
gear that’s offensive to the Irish. Oh wait, am
I writing about Celtic Jam right now? Never
mind, I was thinking of Irish Poet Cliché Night
at O’Malley’s. But that’s next Tuesday. The Celtic
Jam at Imagine is totally safe for you no matter
what you’re wearing.
Wednesday, March 11
Chuck Holst and Gary
Rowles
Bombs Away Café, 2527 NW Monroe
Ave. 7:30 p.m. Free
If there was a Mount Rushmore of Corvallis
musicians, it would have Gary Rowles’ head
and a bunch of people who were employed to
keep his head clean and make sure there was a
giant endless bowl of green M&M’s underneath
it at all times. And that’s it. Which is to say,
he’s a pretty big deal. Don’t miss him and his
ace Chuck Holst at this laidback free gig. Or
if you do, at least have the good manners to
send a card or a fruit basket announcing you
regretfully couldn’t make it. It’s called manners.
Wednesday Acoustic Live
It’s the Brutal Bridges Band for this installment
of Alliteration by Candlelight—er, I mean,
Wednesday Acoustic Live. I know I’ve been
dismissive of folky acoustic rock in Corvallis
before, but… I don’t really have a great way to
end that sentence. Les Caves does have yummy
food and good taste in live entertainment, so
I would hit this up. Additionally, I’m open to
some sort of free endless hot pretzel deal in
exchange for less sarcastic admonitions to go
to this show every Wednesday. Hint, hint…
One magazine described McNally as “the
new face of Scottish fiddling in the USA,”
which is something I had always hoped
to be myself one day. So I’ll be pettily and
immaturely skipping this show to stay home
and pout. You’d be pretty stupid to skip it
though, because she’ll be busting out her not
inconsiderable fiddle game with the excellent
Neal Pearlman on piano and Shauncey
Ali on viola. Sometimes the most talented
musicians also make the best music.

This romantic and whimsical couple of nuts
sold their earthly possessions and moved
their whole lives onto a bus to tour the world
playing each other’s music in a tag team
performing consortium. That sounds like a
better pilot for an HBO show about young

ox’s Empire is the most painfully,
embarrassingly brilliant show on any
network channel right now. I can’t
stop watching it and I’m ashamed of
myself, because it’s all of the things I
hate about TV rolled into one. So how
did everyone’s favorite guilty pleasure
become a ratings powerhouse and one
of the most compulsively watchable
programs around? The answer’s simple:
it’s Cookie.
For the roughly six people out there
not watching this show, Empire follows
the story of Lucious Lyon (a character
who sounds like he was named by
Stan Lee), played (poorly) by Oscar
nominee Terrence Howard, and the
music business behemoth he created
over the years, after being a charttopping gangster rapper. Making things
interesting for him (and us) is the rivalry
betwixt his three sons all vying to be heir
to the throne, a young fiancée who also
runs his company, and his ex-wife and
former business partner Cookie (played
by scene-stealing Oscar nominee Taraji
P. Henson), released from a 17-year
prison stint for drug dealing.
Oh yeah, and he’s dying of Lou Gehrig’s
disease.
I told you this show is embarrassing.

not to mention just a combination of
Dallas and Boss (the short-lived Kelsey
Grammer vehicle),” then congrats.
You’ve already picked up on just how
lazy in conception this show really is. And
it doesn’t get that much better from
there. The dialogue, acting, and plot
twists on this show are idiotic and often
enraging. Plus, if all that wasn’t enough
of a turnoff, it’s also basically a hip-hop
Glee. Each episode treats the audience
to no less than one, sometimes several,
gaudy auto-tuned monstrosities of
musical numbers.
But hidden deep in all these obnoxious
shortcomings is the genius of the
show. It is just Dallas, but with a black
cast. But for maybe the first time on
television, the power struggles of a
family of black entrepreneurs is being
played straight, by which I mean, with
no apologetics. Lucious is a scumbag,
a murderer, a homophobe, and a
misogynist. His spoiled ilk are also almost
uniformly unlikable as well, save the
one sympathetic character on the
show, his gay son Jamal. There’s racial
stereotyping galore, and destructive
ideologies are reinforced, particularly by
the one white member of the Lyon den,
the scheming and morally bankrupt wife
of the eldest son. But again, this is what
makes the show work. A more cowardly
attempt at portraying a powerful black
family would get all caught up trying to
make the characters into role models.
But they’re not role models, they’re
a power-hungry family of elites. Just
like JR was on Dallas, and Tony on The
Sopranos, and a million other white
characters were on shows where they
didn’t have to worry about what people
would think of their representation of
their race.

With music oversight from legendary
producer Timbaland and ratings that
have increased with every episode so
far in its rookie season, Empire has a
bright future. If you’re already watching,
you know who Cookie is and why you
can’t look away. If you don’t, you need
to ask somebody.

And it has the one thing no other show
on TV can boast: Cookie. The character
who best embodies all the traits of
the show. She’s ruthless, manipulative,
dishonest, driven, angry, complex, and
entertaining to death. Henson plays her
with the kind of breathless abandon that
makes TV great. Halfway into the first
episode, you can’t help but hate her. By
the start of the second episode, you wish
the show was only about her.

Hard Truths
The Orange & Black Choral and
Vocal Scholarship Concert
by Sidney
Reilly
Northern
Lights
Branded by Truth
I
’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news. The good
news is it looks like spring is almost here. The bad news
is most of you are sex criminals. Hey, I hate to be the
bearer of bad news, but according to a helpful list I saw
on Facebook, whose main tenets have been promoted
in all corners of social media at this point, nearly every
sexual encounter I’ve ever had is up for debate.
Including some of the times I masturbated.
The list in question goes over
some of what might be
considered gray areas in sexual
consent. Most of the items on
the list are uncontroversial, and
should be quite obvious: “Being
in a relationship is not consent.”
Of course being in a relationship
does not mean one party gets
to have sex with the other
regardless of whether that person
wants to or not. “Consent to one
act is not consent to all acts.”
Again, this should be obvious to
all reasonable human beings,
but of course it isn’t, and so sadly
such lists are necessary.
“If they aren’t sober, they can’t
consent.” Okay now, hold on a
second.
I’d be lying if I said I’ve never
elicited enthusiastic consent from
a person who had anywhere
from a few to more than a few
alcoholic beverages in them. More to the point, I’ve
given my consent on more than a few occasions when
I had several drinks in me. What’s more, often on these
occasions I woke up the next morning filled with regret.
But to say that consent under the influence of alcohol
is not consent is a very slippery slope. How many drinks
is too many drinks to give consent? What about for
non-sexual acts? If a person has too many drinks and
then smashes the windows of their neighbor’s house,
are they off the hook for that? Or is sex the only action
that is completely beyond one’s control once they’ve
imbibed? How much does inebriation alleviate a
person of responsibility for their actions? In the state
of Oregon, on any given Friday night, is there anyone
having sex who’s not doing it with multiple beers in their
bellies?
Let me take this opportunity to be clear; I’m not
saying it’s okay to take advantage of a person who
has had so much to drink that they can’t physically
control themselves, and certainly not a person who is
unconscious. If a person can’t walk or speak straight,
then how would one be certain they’re consenting at
all? These situations are what reasonable people would
unequivocally call sexual assault.
But unwise decisions that would likely have never
occurred without alcohol, and the buyer’s remorse
that inevitably comes with them, are certainly not the
same thing as rape. Stigmatizing a generation of high
school and college students into thinking they are is
a mistake we will most certainly regret as a society.
Especially when it’s used to defend someone who has
committed a rape. If one party can’t possibly give
informed consent when they’re at all inebriated, it
stands to reason a lawyer will soon be able to make a
convincing case that their client also wasn’t responsible
for committing the rape, because they, too, were
under the influence of alcohol.
OSU Chamber Choir,
Bella Voce, Glee and
OSU Meistersingers
Then comes the big one: “If you
have to convince them, it’s not
consent.”
Say what? This is very clearly
nonsense. If you have to
convince them, it may not be a
great idea. If you fail to convince
them, and then insist on sex
anyway, it’s most assuredly rape.
But that they didn’t simply want
to jump into bed with you sans
discussion of any kind?

was I coerced or forced into
anything, and abdicating responsibility for them to
an oversimplification of the complexities of human
interaction would be dishonest.
Again, to be clear, I’m not saying that actual coercion,
or non-physically “forcing” someone to have sex is not
rape. It very clearly is. However, sometimes people
get convinced to do things that end up being great
experiences, and sometimes end up in social disaster.
But to sweepingly declare the practice of trying to
convince a person to have sex as rape will have
weird and terrible consequences on the psyches
of millennials. I might also point out, it makes every
pornographic act or act of prostitution that has ever
occurred into a rape. For these people would clearly
not be having sex if not convinced by a financial
agreement.
