Journey to the center of OSU

By BAILEY POWELL NSO Editor

Moving away from home can be scary. But the move is just the first step toward a huge adventure that will make some of the best memories of your life.

Knowing a few hot spots and tips will help to make the transition easier.

The Strip is right across the road from campus on Washington Street. Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, Jimmy John’s, and J.R. Murphy’s are three highlights of this alwaysbusy street.

Great meals off campus include Hideaway Pizza, 230 S. Knoblock St., a Stillwater classic with great pizza and better service; Eskimo Joe’s, the city’s top tourist destination at Elm and Duck (you know to try the cheese fries, right?); or Thai Cafe, an exotic treat that’s tucked away at 502 S. Husband St. If you’re looking for a nicer evening out, Brooklyn’s, the Ranchers Club or Freddie Paul’s are the perfect places to dine. Brooklyn’s, 701 S. Main St., offers contemporary comfort food, the perfect date meal.

For a dressier family atmosphere, Freddie Paul’s, 1707 E. Sixth Ave., offers steaks, ribs and seafood. The Ranchers Club, located in the bottom of the Atheron Hotel in the Student Union, is the hottest on-campus spot for a hand-cut steak.

Not only can you enjoy the finest cuts of streak, you can pair it with a bottle of wine.

Students will be happy to know that you can charge this date to your bursar’s account.

Stillwater offers a host of things to do off campus, at night and on weekends.

Carmike 10 shows the latest movies, while Frontier Lanes has open bowling.

Nature lovers will also enjoy the Botanic Garden, a peaceful oasis located just west of campus.

There are a multitude of churches in many denominations -- check online for your church of choice.

Stillwater offers other religions as well. A mosque is located near campus at 616 N. Washington St. for Muslim Stillwater residents and students. news@ocolly.com BOTANIC GARDEN at Oklahoma State When: Open daily, dawn to dusk Where: Highway 51 near Sangre Road Cost: Free Website: botanicgarden.okstate. edu

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Oklahoma State University’s student groups, clubs and traditions means there’s never a dull moment on campus

By BAILEY POWELL NSO Editor

Campus is packed with activities and clubs including the Student Government Association, Greek Life and more than 450 student organizations.

SGA is the governing body for students at OSU, and offers many chances for students to get involved with committees and entities under the SGA umbrella. SGA serves at the student voice on campus.

Another great way to get involved is through one of the many Greek organizations on campus. Fraternities and sororities offer immediate friends and a family away from

home. Greek life hosts an array of activities including Coke dates, formals and philanthropic opportunities.

Greek houses host recruitment before the school starts, so watch your okstate email for more information.

Greek life also plays a huge part in OSU’s nationally renowned homecoming. For weeks before the big game, campus buzzes with one word: pomping. Hundreds of hours are spent pushing tiny squares of tissue paper into chicken wire to create massive house decs and floats for the day of the game.

The night before the game, Greek Row lights up with mov-

ing images made by these tiny squares for Walkaround, an annual event that draws thousands of alums back to town. This is an absolute must-see in the fall, as every house does its best to outdo the other with the biggest, newest and most innovative design.

Although homecoming is one of the biggest days of the football season, each football game comes with a slew of traditions. Two hours before the game, the Cowboy Marching Band, head football coach Mike Gundy and his team take The Walk down Hester Street as cheering fans

Sorority members “pomp” in preparation for Walkaround, part of OSU’s homecoming.

spur them toward Boone Pickens Stadium.

Once at the game, the Paddle People’s boom is hard to miss. This team of highly devoted fans beat wooden paddles against the stadium to cheer on the Cowboys. When the Cowboys score, Bullet, a jet-black horse riden by the Spirit Rider,

wields an OSU flag across the turf.

After the game, the OSU family comes together arm in arm to join in the school’s alma mater.

HOT FUZZ: OSUPD strives for safety

By BAILEY POWELL NSO Editor

O’COLLY FILE PHOTO

Members of the OSU Police Department survey the campus during a police expo.

While college is scary for students, it’s not a walk in the park for parents, either.

While there is crime on campus, it is almost entirely non-violent.

According to police, the biggest threat on campus is larceny. And parents will rest easy knowing that OSU is consistently ranked among the safest schools in the Big 12.

Police recommend that you lock your belongings and don’t leave anything sitting out where someone could walk away with your valuables.

The Oklahoma State

University Police Department has 33 sworn officers to keep campus safe. These officers are available 24/7, 365 days a year.

For students who are walking around campus late at night, OSU offers the Safe Walk program, where a public service officer will walk students wherever they need to go from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Students can request an officer by calling 405-744-6523.

Parents may also appreciate that dorms are available only to those who live there, protected by a swipe system.

Students need to have their student IDs to get into any res life building -- your

MAD MONEY Block tuition simplifies cost of OSU, but don’t forget fees

By BAILEYPOWELL NSO Editor

An investment in your education isn’t cheap. Here is a breakdown of what you will spend on tuition, fees, and room and board at OSU. Block tuition covers students who take 12-18 hours worth of classes. The rate is $3,720.75 per semester for in-state students and $10,013.25 for out-of-state students. This cost does not include room and board or fees.

The cheapest living options for students living on campus are the community-style living units including Parker, Wentz, Stout and Iba. These dorms come with a living space and a community bathroom for only $413 a month.

From there, the prices go up as the buildings offer more privacy and are newer. The newest dorms on campus, University Commons, will run $655 per month for a shared room. The most expensive, and private, option is the large bedroom in Bennett.

This one-bed, one-bath apartment will run you $759 a month.

For more information on dorms check out reslife. okstate.edu.

Students who want to explore the option of living off campus their first year can check out the clasFRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015

Fees (per credit hour) Student activity fee (general): $4.70 Student activity fee (campus rec): $3 Student development fee: $2 Health Services fee: $5 Advising and assessment fee: $7.90 Library automation and technology fee: $13.75 University technology infrastructure maintenance fee: $10.15 Academic facilities fee: $14.50 Academic records fee: $4.35 The O’Colly fee: $0.30 Transit/ Parking Services fee: $2.30 Life safety and security fee: $3.50 Academic excellence fee $17.50 Student Union renovation fee: $4.35 Total for general fees per credit hour:

sifieds in the O’Colly for rentals or check Craigslist for a roomie.

Once you figure out where to stay, the next hurdle is the meal plan.

All incoming freshmen must have a meal plan their first year on campus.

Freshmen must buy at least a bronze-level plan for $1,225. This meal plan can be used at any of the 30 dining options on campus.

For anyone who feels they need more, other plans include silver for $1,475, gold for $1,750 and platinum for $2,050. Just remember when selecting your plan you can always add money, but once your money is on your meal plan it cannot be taken out. Any money that does not roll over will go to the university.

For more information on meal plans check out dining.okstate.edu.

OSU services help students stay healthy and productive

By BAILEY POWELL NSO Editor

New experiences, new surroundings and new people; college life is stressful. Luckily, Oklahoma State University provides resources to help.

University Counseling Services are located on the third floor of the Student Union. Students can seek help from anything from stressing about grades to substance abuse. The first four sessions are free for students. After four sessions, the price is $10 per session.

Preparation is another great way to avoid stress.

In the middle of campus is the student’s best resource for studying: the Edmon Low Library. Open 24 hours most days during the regular semester, the library offers students a quiet place to study, such as the fourth floor, or rooms for group study, located next to Café Libro, the dining option in FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015

the library.

Also located in the library is the Math Learning Success Center, MLSC. This center, located on the fifth floor of the library, offers tutoring to students in any math course.

If you are looking for somewhere more quiet, there are a few places around campus to check out. The Human Sciences Building hosts a cozy little café that makes the perfect place to study. The Student Union also has a few more quiet spots. The bottom floor is full of comfortable chairs and is usually less busy than the rest of the building. Computers are also available on the fourth floor.

For those who need help writing, the Writing Center is located on the fourth floor of the Student Union and is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and 10:30 a.m. to

MLSC

Where: Edmon Low Library Website: math.okstate.edu/ mlsc

5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The center is staffed with experienced writers who help make any paper better.

Even the most prepared people get stressed. Pete’s Posse and the Reboot Center are two great resources.

Pete’s Posse is composed of playful, loving dogs that love to be petted, identified by their orange harness.

The Reboot Center, located on the third floor of the Student Union, provides a relaxing atmosphere for students to work on handling stress. Students play games while the computer monitors stress levels.

To advance in the game, a student must relax.

REMEMBER THE TIGERS Before we were the Oklahoma State University Cowboys, the Tigers of Oklahoma A&M prowled the plains

By BAILEY POWELL NSO Editor

Oklahoma State University has a long history rich with traditions, many of which are forged from athletics.

Before you attend your first game, it’s helpful to understand our school’s history.

We weren’t always Cowboys and Cowgirls. When OSU opened its doors in 1890 as Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (OAMC or Oklahoma A&M), we were officially the Tigers. But students at

the time didn’t like the name and quickly began to call the student body the “Aggies.”

In 1923, the Aggies found Pistol Pete, their new mascot, after a long search to replace the tiger.

Their inspiration was Frank Eaton, was a U.S. marshal from Perkins. Legend has it that six men killed Eaton’s father in cold blood, and he eventually hunted them all down to avenge the murder.

Eaton was a frontiersman through and through, even once shooting his gun and

leaving a bullet hole in the Student Union -- at least, according to the stories.

In 1924, the media shook things up. Charles Saulsberry, editor of the Oklahoma City Times, began to call to the sports teams the Oklahoma A&M Cowboys.

The name stuck.

On May 15, 1957, Governor Raymond Gary officially changed the name of the university to Oklahoma State University of Agriculture and Applied Science.

Even with all the changes

to OSU, some traditions have been around since almost the beginning.

“The Waving Song” first picked up steam back in 1908. Now, after every score, OSU fans sing along and wave one arm back and forth above their heads to replicate the motion of the waving wheat of the Great Plains.

After games, everyone in the stands is encouraged to remain stand together, arm in arm, and sway to the hymn, singing along with the alma mater.

Alma Mater Proud and immortal Bright shines your name Oklahoma State We herald your fame Ever you’ll find us loyal and true To our alma mater O-S-U

Ride ‘Em Cowboys Ride, ride, ride, ride, Ride ’em Cowboys, Right down the field!

Nightmare on Elm Street Take care to avoid traps that snare many OSU freshmen

By BAILEY POWELL NSO Editor

College life is not as it seems. Confusion lurks within the shadows. Take these tips to avoid being the next victim of the Nightmare on Elm Street.

First and most importantly, give yourself time. The day you move in, the headache begins in the dorm parking lots. Within the first few days of being on campus, all students must purchase a parking sticker and print off a temporary one until that sticker can arrive in the dorm mail.

Watch where you park.

The OSU parking police patrols the lots to look for anyone parked incorrectly.

Students must park in their designated Residence Hall (RH) parking from 5 a.m.-5 p.m. Outside of those hours staff parking opens up to students, but all 30-minute loading zones, handicap and reserved parking is enforced 24/7.

The residence hall parking lots are oversold according to OSU Parking. Meaning you are not guaranteed a parking spot, and you are not likely to get a spot close to the dorms. This is why you need ample time to drive circles around the parking lots in order to find a spot. The best time to move your car is from around 3:30-6 p.m., when many students have to give up their parking spots.

Stay informed. The O’Colly prints every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and is packed full of FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015

information about happenings on campus and in Stillwater. For more up to date information, check out O’Colly.com where news is updated on a daily basis. You can also follow @ OColly on Twitter.

Be prepared if you wish to eat in the Student Union at lunch. Many lines can take some time to get through during the peak lunchtime hours. Chic Fil A is one of the worst culprits with a line running more than 20 people long almost everyday at lunch.

Many places in the Union are only open for a few hours each day, so when they are open the Student Union is full of chaos as people decide whether or not to wait in line for their favorite food.

For more information on Campus Dining check out dining.okstate.edu Finally, things will go bump in the night in the dorms. But, don’t worry. It’s probably just a resident on another floor on a different schedule. People are always moving around in the dorms and it’s never really quiet. But, just turn on some music or the TV and you can drown it all out.

Other than a TV or way to play music be sure to bring shower shoes and a shower bag. Everything you need to shower has to be moved every time you shower so a bag comes in really handy.

You will also need eating utensils. They wont just magically appear after you microwave your mac and

Storage is another must.

Yes, the dorms do have a lot of storage options.

However, most of these options are too high for most people to reach on a daily basi. Flat storage containers will fit nicely under your bed and add easily accessible room.

Everything is a little less scarier with family and friends. So whether your combating the Union at lunch or flying through the parking lot to find a spot, when you get back to your dorm, have things that remind you of home. Bring pictures, quotes, or what ever else you find comforting. And, of course, call your mother!

Dear Freshmen: Here’s my advice

By BAILEY POWELL NSO Editor

Do what scares you. This is my motto and what has led to one of the most amazing, and busy, experiences of my life.

While this guide is designed to help you find your way around OSU and Stillwater, you still need to navigate your life.

I just recently finished my freshman year and I have some advice for you.

Most importantly: You are you. That amazing, beautiful person is all you will ever need to be. Don’t bend to peer pressure or pressure from those who care about you. College costs too

FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015

much money and takes too much time for you to waste it doing something you’re not passionate about.

If you haven’t found your passion, that’s OK. Changing your major is not the end of the world.

Sometimes you have to figure out what you don’t like before you can find what you love. Other times, you just find you like something else more than the current path you’re on.

The world is about to open up. You’ll discover there are degree paths you didn’t even know existed. Don’t be afraid to explore. Your adviser is amazing and will do his or her best to make

every credit you take count for something.

Because eventually, you will find something you are passionate about, and when you do, don’t hold anything back.

As a sociology/ strategic communications major with hopes to work in the non-profit industry, I know first-hand the struggle between wanting to get a degree that will make me money and getting a degree that I love.

I’m choosing my career path based on what will make me happy, not what others want or what will fill my wallet.

Just remember, you wake

up every morning to go to a job. Why would you want to go to one that feels like work?

And while everyone seems to look at the end game, it’s going to take a long time to get there. Enjoy every moment.

Even finals can be fun with the right people. Be open to new experiences.

Check out a few student clubs. You’ll find friends with similar experiences.

Be kind to everyone you meet. This isn’t just advice for college. You never know what someone is going through or when you might see them again.

Finally, everyone is busy.

O’COLLY

‘Don’t bend to peer pressure or pressure from those who care about you.

College costs too much money and takes too much time for you to waste it doing something you’re not passionate about.’

If you’re working two jobs, some one else is working three. If you’re in a super long lab struggling, some one else is, too, with a kid at home to care for. These are real-life examples of

people I have had the pleasure to meet.

Strangely, the people who do more usually complain less.

Good luck in college. Do what scares you!
