Columbus Day windstorm damage, 1962. On Columbus Day in 1962 (October 12th), a severe windstorm (75 mph sustained winds) moved inland from the Pacific Ocean and caused $50,000 damage to the OSU campus. Fifty-five trees were destroyed and another 43 were damaged including many in the Memorial Union quadrangle as shown here.

This clever image shows part of the inside of the cup through the dog's snout. It was probably made by double printing, where separate negatives were made with and without the dog, partially exposing the paper to the image without the dog, then finishing by exposing the image with the dog.
