Seeing Triples A Phenomenon to watch as winter App $Seeing Triples A Phenomenon to watch as winter Approaches By: Anish Arumugam & Vaishnavi Srinath Seen mostly at sunrise or sunset, sundogs are like nature’s own light show, created through the interaction of sunlight with ice crystals high up in the atmosphere. Their appearance has captured human imagination for centuries, serving as symbols in art, myth, and even weather prediction. … So, the next time you’re outside on a cold day, take a look toward the sun. If you’re lucky, you might see one or even two glowing patches of light—nature’s own dazzling display. Sundogs may look otherworldly, but they’re simply a result of sunlight interacting with ice crystals in just the right way. “Sundogs are a sub-occurrence of halos, forming from the refraction of light through small ice crystals high in the atmosphere. They typically appear on the 22-degree arc, at horizontal positions, and are best seen when the sun is near the horizon.”—Dr. Andrew Rice—Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at PSU #portlandstateuniversity #portlandstate #pdxedu #psu #portlandstatenewspaper #psuvanguard #studentnews #portlandsciencenews #portlandscience #portlandoregon #sundog #coldertemperature #icecrystal #sunrise #sunlight #weatherprediction #cold Slide 1: Illustration by Parker Patnode Slide 2 & 3: Anish Arumugam/PSU Vanguard$

The Other Red Wave Why progressive candidates won

The Other Red Wave
Why progressive candidates won where Kamala Harris lost
By: J.J. Christensen

To many, the Election results on the fifth came as a shock. Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States of America. Not only did he sweep aside the democrats in every single swing state, he also won the popular vote by – at the time of writing – about three million.
…
These numbers, however, leave out what I think are key parts of the story. Donald Trump did not expand his popular vote count very far beyond what he won in 2020. It seems like instead of voters breaking for Trump, many Democrats were undermotivated and stayed home. The Harris-Walz campaign ran one of the most right wing Democratic campaigns in recent memory.
…
Donald Trump’s base did not get larger, Kamala Harris’ got smaller.

Let's be clear on what the lesson is here: retreating from popular progressive policies on the border, on trans issues, on protecting labor and on healthcare makes for a losing platform. By running the most conservative Democratic campaign in recent memory, Kamala Harris deflated her supporters and many of them simply decided to stay home. She reinforced the popular refrain that there is no fundamental difference between the Democrats and the Republicans

AI + Design
AI sparks interests, challenging design boundaries
By: Sarah Applin

Within the modern world, our technology evolves at an unprecedented pace. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as both a revolutionary tool and a polarizing force within the design world. As a society, it is essential to understand how these technologies impact our daily lives as more and more, they further infiltrate development of innovation and tradition.

“This course introduced students to the fundamental principles and techniques of AI as it pertains to the disciplines of art and design. Students explored topics related to the implementation, impact, ethics and collaborative opportunities of AI and its various forms.”—Isabel Bo-Linn, Assistant Professor of Art + Art History + Design

The surprising Greek life on the Park Blocks
PSU’s fraternities and sororities navigate being ‘Greek” at a commuter school
By: Noah Carandanis

While not having the same footprint on campus as those at University of Oregon or Oregon State University, PSU has a handful of fraternities and sororities on campus that provide a social outlet for students from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Being situated in downtown Portland on a commuter campus presents unique challenges and opportunities to Greek organizations. PSU Vanguard spoke with the Theta Epsilon chapter of the fraternity Kappa Sigma along with the Delta Omicron chapter of the sorority Alpha Chi Omega.
…
With PSU’s commuter school culture at times providing a chilling effect on socialization on campus, Greek organizations can provide a sense of community for students during their time downtown.

“We’re really big on just community. This is a commuter school, guys don’t come here to [party], we are trying to make it a community that will have your back. We try to invest our time and resources into programs that we believe they give back to the campus of our specific university.”—Antonio Veaudry—the PSU Kappa Sigma Chapter President
