Academic excellence earns invite to presidential inauguration for student Most of us will have to watch the 44th presidential inauguration on TV, but Vananh Nguyen will be experiencing this historic event in person. Nguyen, an OSU student, has been selected by the National Society of Collegiate Scholars to attend the inauguration of the 44th president. She will be attending NSCS' University Presidential Inaugural Conference on Jan. 17 to 21, in 2009. Shasta trip loses grip on OSU Greeks For Oregon State University’s Greek houses, Mother’s Day weekend traditionally has meant plenty of fun and sun - and beer and booze - on Lake Shasta in Northern California. Not anymore. Local fraternities and sororities have largely abandoned the annual rite of party passage in the wake of a 2005 death. That year, Delta Gamma member Gina Zalunardo, 23, committed suicide. "Mother’s Day weekend used to be a big weekend," said Deputy Gary Van Dyne, with the boating safety unit of the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office. On Thursday, however, there were just five houseboats on the lake with college students from Corvallis. Casey, Oregon State build for the long run on diamond When Pat Casey took Oregon State to the College World Series in 2005 for the first time in 53 years, athletics director Bob De Carolis doubled the coach's salary. When the Beavers won their first baseball national championship in 2006, De Carolis doubled Casey's salary again. When Oregon State made it back-to-back titles in 2007, De Carolis was in a pickle. "We were tapped out at that point in terms of another major raise," De Carolis says. "So I gave Pat my office."
