SPORTS: Victor the Viking Mascots are the real win SPORTS: Victor the Viking Mascots are the real winners Laura Kowall • May 24, 2023 Even if you aren’t a big fan of sports, chances are you could name some teams by identifying the mascot that represents them. You’ll see a mascot running around at games giving high fives and providing silly photo opportunities, along with making sure there is enough energy from the fans to make the team feel supported.   The origins of mascots for sports can be traced back to various cultural and historical influences including folklore and mythology, often borrowed from the cultures surrounding the community. Creatures like lions, tigers and bears are used because of their association with strength and bravery and often represent the desired qualities of a team and instill a sense of pride and identity.   One of the appealing aspects of mascots is their whimsical nature. Mascots often have exaggerated features, colorful costumes and playful personalities that add a touch of lightheartedness and fun to sporting events and other special occasions where they are needed as representation of the team.    Link to full story in bio Photo 1 Courtesy of Troy Wayrynen Photos 2-3 Courtesy of Larry C.

NEWS: PSU’s evolving online course fees Online c NEWS: PSU’s evolving online course fees Online courses are an expensive venture, and finding an equitable solution is a complex endeavor Isaiah Burns • May 17, 2023 Each term, students spend $22 per credit on all online courses. This is separate from the base tuition and is used to fund the unique factors that go into conducting online courses, such as specialized faculty training and the costs of up-to-date technology.   The fee for online courses was initially $35 per credit hour, but was brought down to $22 per credit in the fall of 2022. The previous and the current fee is charged only for courses that are fully online, excluding hybrid, remote and attend-anywhere classes.   For many students, the fee provides another financial hurdle to jump through. Yet some don’t have a choice when it comes to registering for classes offered solely online that are required for their degree. And if classes aren’t using the physical resources that in-person courses do, what do the fees fund?

Arts: Remembering Darcelle XV Legendary Portland d Arts: Remembering Darcelle XV Legendary Portland drag queen’s legacy lives on Alyssa Anderson • May 17, 2023 The Portland arts community lost a legendary drag performer and community activist when Darcelle XV passed away from natural causes on March 23, 2023, at the age of 92. Hailed by the Guiness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest drag performer, Darcelle touched countless lives during a 56-year-long career—a fact made evident when his celebration of life event at Portland’s Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall sold nearly 3,000 tickets in under an hour. Darcelle’s fellow drag performer and longtime collaborator, Poison Waters, said people flew in from all over the country to honor Darcelle’s life and legacy. “Darcelle taught me how to be a person, not just a personality,” Poison said. “It speaks a lot to [his legacy] that so many people were there from all around. Locally, he was a part of almost every major non-profit organization in one capacity or another. He worked with the homeless before it was the houseless crisis. He’s always worked with the houseless people in the whole town, in the surrounding area, and neighborhood.” Born as Walter Cole and raised in the Linnton neighborhood of Portland, Cole lived a “conventional” life with his wife and two children, according to the Darcelle XV website. Cole served three years in the United States Armed Forces Signal Corps during the Korean War, before returning to Portland and using funds he received from the military to start up his entrepreneurial endeavors.

Sports:  Portland Pickles put a twist on summer b Sports:  Portland Pickles put a twist on summer baseball The league offers out-of-left-fields events for everyone Laura Kowall • May 17, 2023 Soon enough our days of due dates, deadlines and note-taking will come to an end, and we will need something aside from catching up on sleep to fill the time. After you’ve tended to your tomatoes growing in the garden or dried off from your swim in the river, perhaps sipping an ice-cold beer in the shade while being entertained by a group of talented young baseball players might just be your best option.   Nestled in the southeast neighborhood of Lents, you’ll see the summer sky illuminated by Walker Stadium, the home to Portland’s whimsical collegiate, wood bat baseball team, the Pickles. Since 2016, the Portland Pickles have been providing a night of affordable fun for families, friends and company parties by offering an out of the box promotional schedule to accompany their 41 home game season. Each game is presided over by the organization’s seven-foot-tall dill pickle mascot—aptly named Dillon—that makes his rounds for photo opportunities or an especially plushie high five.   Not only is it easy to find yourself at Walker Stadium having a good time sitting on the berm in the grass with pals, you can also enjoy a highly competitive game of baseball as well. Since their inaugural season, the Pickles have been able to produce a winning record each season, with the exception of 2020 due to COVID-19 lockdowns. And many of these young athletes have gone on to sign contracts with Major League Baseball teams.

Opinion: Senate Bill 614 goes too far The bill wou Opinion: Senate Bill 614 goes too far The bill would allow an unacceptable invasion of privacy Ian McMeekan • May 17, 2023 We have all heard of police body cams and their varying range of effectiveness. But are they enough? Some in our state government say it’s not, and that police need to know more before an arrest. Senate Bill 614, currently working its way through the Oregon State Legislature, would allow law enforcement to collect far more information about citizens than they can now. This bill is a blatant breach of people’s privacy, and it goes against Oregon civil rights law. For that reason, it cannot be allowed to pass.   Senate Bill 614 would “[permit] law enforcement agency to collect and maintain information about a person’s political, religious or social views or activities if the information was collected and maintained for lawful purpose, including activities carried out in accordance with policy for officer-worn video cameras,” according to the Oregon State Legislature summary of the bill. This is a clear violation of fundamental Oregon civil rights law, which “prohibits police from gathering and maintaining information about people’s political, social or religious views without probable cause to believe a crime has occurred,” as reported by Willamette Week.
