ASME
OFFICER ELECTIONS THIS THURSDAY
ASME will be hosting its
first meeting of the term this Thursday (April 10), at 6:30 pm in Rogers 230.
There will be pizza, as always, and a recap of the Tacoma SPDC, but the primary
function of this meeting will be to select new officers for the 2008–09
academic year. The four positions that are definitely on the election agenda
include President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Other potential
positions include Webmaster, Social Chair, and Service Chair. Additional
positions may be considered as well, if you can provide a convincing argument
(and a nominee).
If you're willing to
commit a little bit of time to ASME, in return for great leadership experience
and a resume-builder, please consider running for one of these positions. To
get your name in the hat, just show up at Thursday night's meeting!

E-JOURNAL DOWNLOADING
POLICIES FROM OSU VALLEY LIBRARY: REMINDER AND CAUTION. OSU Libraries
subscribes to over 30,000 electronic journals and databases to support you at
Oregon State University. These include the IEEE Electronic Library, the ACM
Digital Library, and the journals of the ASCE and ASME. You are welcome to
use these resources for your classes and research. However, these
resources come with certain limitations. In general, users are authorized to
display, print, download or copy a reasonable portion of licensed electronic
resources. For journals, this is typically 1–2 articles. For books,
this is typically one chapter. If you need an entire journal
issue (e.g., a special "theme" issue), please contact the library and
we will see if we can arrange for special permission to use the entire issue.
Publishers do not allow systematic or substantial printing, copying, or
downloading of electronic resources (such as entire journal issues or books)
via any method including robots, scripts, agents, or other automatic
downloading tools. Systematic downloading of articles is in violation of the
license agreements signed by Oregon State University and may result in the loss
of access to the journal for all of OSU. Recently, we have had several
instances where library users have violated these terms by systematically
downloading hundreds of articles. This systematic downloading resulted in the
loss of access to the journals for a period ranging from one hour to one
day. Repeat offenses could result in the permanent loss of access to the
journal for all of OSU due to these license violations. DON’T DO IT!! If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact Laurel Kristick (Laurel.Kristick@oregonstate.edu,
737-7276) or Margaret Mellinger (Margaret.Mellinger@oregonstate.edu,
737-9642). [posted 4/7]

rural transportation corridors. The REU program will center around three
interdisciplinary topic areas: 1) Water and Fish Passage; 2) Habitat
Connectivity and Wildlife Movement; 3) Public Safety and Mobility. A
90-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 191 near MSU, which follows pristine mountain
waterways and traverses part of Yellowstone National Park, will provide an
ideal field site for students to pursue nationally replicable solutions to
these issues. In addition to their project involvement, the students’ REU
experience will be enriched by research seminars, training workshops, and
similar educational activities over the course of the 10-week summer program.
Program Dates: June 2–August 8. Stipend: $4,500 (plus an additional weekly
food stipend). Travel: Travel reimbursement up to $900 for travel costs to
MSU. Housing: Program covers all on-campus housing expenses for participants. Application deadline: April 30. For
