Benny Beaver is the official mascot of Oregon State University . The adoption of a beaver as the university's mascot is linked to Oregon's history as a territorial leader in America's early fur trade. The Oregon Territory was well known for its large populations of beaver and the region became a stronghold, in the early 1800s, for the Hudson's Bay Company 's beaver trapping operations. Once Oregon acquired statehood in 1859, the beaver continued as the state's symbol and was later adopted as Oregon's official mammal in 1969.
In addition to the industrial association, the beaver is known as a dam builder and this trait fits naturally with one of the university's leading programs, engineering. cite web |title=Facts and Statistics - February 11, 2003 |url=http://engr.oregonstate.edu/about/statistics.html |publisher= Oregon State University OSU College of Engineering |date=2003 |accessdate=2007-12-02]
History
The university's yearbook staff was actually the first known organization on campus to adopt the beaver for a name and did so in 1915. The popularity of the yearbook's name eventually helped to solidify the beaver as the university's official mascot. cite web |url=http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/archives/chronology/chron_1910.html |title=OSU Libraries - Chronological History |publisher= Oregon State University Library |date=2004 |accessdate=2007-12-07]
The university's first documented use of a beaver as a mascot was found in a 1942 yearbook photo. In the photo, students are posing next to a statue of a beaver inscribed with the name "Benny Beaver." cite web |title=OSU Sports History Minute - February 16, 2001 |url=http://alumni.oregonstate.edu/eclips/history/sportshistory05.html |publisher= Oregon State University Beaver E-Clips |date=2001 |accessdate=2007-10-16] Although this is the university's first documented use of a beaver mascot, there is considerable debate as to when the beaver was first used. Alumni from the early 1900s have claimed the school used the Beaver as a mascot as early as 1910. However, no known documentation exists.
Prior to the beaver, Oregon State's mascot was an individual known as John Richard Newton Bell (1893-1928). A longtime member of the university's board of regents, Bell became hugely popular among the students for his ritual of marching to the Marys River after each of Oregon State's Civil War (college football game) victories. He was said to have tossed his top hat into the water as a token of celebration. Earlier mascots include "Jimmie" the Coyote (1892-1893) and "Bulldog" (1906-1910). The beaver mascot's name, "Benny," was officially adopted in 1945.
The early Benny Beaver "cartoon" icon/logo "(shown right)" was created by, famous graphic illustrator and former Disney employee, Arthur C. Evans . As the art director for Angelus Pacific Company , cite web |title=Angelus Pacific Website |url=http://angeluspacific.com/History.html |publisher= Angelus Pacific Company Company Website |date=2007 |accessdate=2007-10-16] Evans submitted his design to OSU and it was approved for use in 1951. His logos were used at hundreds of other universities and high schools throughout the nation.
The first appearance of the beaver mascot, in costume , during an athletic event was on September 18 1952 and made by Ken Austin. cite web |title=A History of Athletic Mascots at Oregon State University |url=http://www.osualum.com/s/359/index.aspx?sid=359&gid=1&verbiagebuilder=1&pgid=402 |publisher= Oregon State University OSU Alumni Association |date=2001 |accessdate=2007-10-16] Austin later founded Newberg, Oregon -based A-dec , the largest privately-held dental equipment manufacturer in North America. Austin is also a major Oregon State donor. cite web|url=http://alumni.oregonstate.edu/stater/issues/Stater0209/feature5.html|title=Building a Better Mousetrap|publisher=OSU Alumni Association|accessdate=2007-12-03|last=Edmondston|first=George P.]
Between the early 1980s and mid-1990s, Benny was often joined at sporting events by a co-mascot, known as "Bernice Beaver."
In 2001 the Benny Beaver costume changed to match the new logo, but was not well accepted by younger fans. cite web|url=http://digitalcollections.library.oregonstate.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/archives&CISOPTR=1436&REC=15 |title=Benny Beaver (Interim)|publisher=Beaver Yearbook Collection|accessdate=2007-12-07] In 2005 the mascot costume was changed to a more family-friendly version. This is the version in use today (2007) "(left)". Benny wears #00 at football games and #6 at basketball games.
Current Design
The mascot logo has seen several alterations since its inception. It was last redesigned in 2000 by Morrow Creative Group cite web |title=Morrow Creative Group Website |url=http://www.morrowcre8v.com/ |publisher= Morrow Creative Group Company Website |date=2007 |accessdate=2007-10-16] of Portland, Oregon. The new version "(shown top)" was officially adopted by the university in 2001 and often referred to by fans as the "Angry Beaver." The make-over came about, in part, due to several major alumni contributions to remodel and expand the university's football stadium ( Reser Stadium ).Fact|date=December 2007

1. Sarah - 1 star - I went to the Comedy and Magic Club for a function and I was extremely disappointed. The schedule was completely off and the performances were lackluster. The comedians seemed unprepared and their jokes fell flat. The magic acts were predictable and unimpressive. Overall, it was a waste of time and money.
2. Mike - 2 stars - I had high expectations for the Comedy and Magic Club's function schedule, but it failed to meet them. The lineup was not as advertised, with some performers missing and others substituted without any prior notice. The shows felt rushed and poorly organized, leaving little time for the audience to truly enjoy the acts. The entire event lacked the professionalism and polish I had hoped for.
3. Jessica - 2 stars - I attended a function at the Comedy and Magic Club, and while the venue itself was nice, the schedule left much to be desired. The performances were hit or miss - some comedians were funny and engaging, while others were forgettable. The magic acts were average, with nothing particularly captivating or innovative. It felt like a mediocre night out, and I expected more from a well-known comedy club like this.
4. Mark - 2 stars - I was disappointed with the function schedule at the Comedy and Magic Club. The performances lacked energy and originality, making them forgettable and unmemorable. The comedy acts felt forced and the jokes were predictable. The magic acts were mediocre at best, failing to impress or leave a lasting impression.
