Industrial Building fire, July 1992. The fire destroyed half of this building, including most of OSU Printing & Mailing Services’ facilities and equipment. The losses were valued at $1.9 million for the building and $4 million in printing equipment. The Industrial Building was originally constructed in 1947 to house the Forest Products Lab. The destroyed portion of the building was reconstructed in 1996, and the entire building was renamed Cascade Hall. (P120, Accession 2009:011)

Fish Disease Lab tanks, ca. 1991. The lab was completed in 1990 with a grant from the Bonneville Power Administration, matched by funds from OSU. Its purpose is the study of infectious organisms of salmonids and other freshwater fish species. The facility includes an area with stock tanks, an experimental area with more than 250 tanks of various sizes, an isolation/quarantine lab, and a multi-user lab space. Today it is known as the John L. Fryer Salmon Disease Laboratory. Dr. Fryer established OSU’s fish disease research program. (P57, Accession 2006:046)

Campus Recycling crew, 1992. Recycling and other sustainability issues have been part of OSU’s campus culture for many years. During World War II, OSC students regularly participated in scrap metal drives and recycling of nylon stockings – materials badly needed for the war effort. Today’s Campus Recycling program was established as a part of Property Management Dept. in 1979, and originally focused on paper recycling. Campus Recycling’s current program is very comprehensive, and includes paper, metal, glass, plastic, cardboard, batteries, and computer/electronics recycling, collection of compostable food waste and packaging material, and educational events to inform the campus community about sustainability and waste reduction.

He was often heard on OPB’s Oregon Considered radio program and the Seven Days television program. He was a faculty member in OSU’s Political Science Department from 1984 to 2011, and served as department chair his last eight years. (P57, Accession 2006:046)
