Feeling the heat Tuesday, August 31, 2021

Willistean Bennett Staff Reporter

As summer begins to wrap up, temperatures on campus remain hot and humid.

Abby Cage

This year’s summer temperatures rise as a heatwave crosses Oklahoma. States across the country have issued heat advisories since the beginning of the summer. Oklahoma has issued heat advisories weeks on end since early June. According to the National Weather Service, “A heat advisory is issued within 12 hours of the onset of extremely dangerous heat conditions… when the maximum heat index temperature is expected to be 100 degrees or higher for at least two days.” The high temperature for Stillwater, OK, in June was 100 degrees, in July it was 102 degrees and so far in August, it is 101 degrees. Although July was the hottest month ever recorded globally, according to the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Oklahoma State students are certainly feeling the heat. Kinsley Carter is a student at OSU, “(The heat) has made traveling to my classes a little longer and is physically making me exhausted.” Wyatt Love, another OSU student said, “The classrooms are pretty hot right now, especially in the Physical Science Center.” Climate change is a big factor in the heatwave, and human activity has impacted the environment in both positive and negative ways. Kristen Olofsson is a professor in the Social Sciences and Humanities division and specializes in environmental and energy policy. “The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that since 1850, human activities that release greenhouse gasses are responsible for a sig-

nificant increase in global temperatures worldwide,” Olofsson said. Along with heat advisories comes the risk of heat related illnesses and injuries, this includes heat exhaustion and heat strokes. To stay cool and safe during extreme heat conditions, the National Weather Services advises people to take extra precautions such as, drink plenty of water, wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing and check on animals when walking outside to ensure they’re comfortable in the heat. “Small changes cumulate to the greater good,” Olofsson said. “Turn off lights when you leave a room, limit your energy consumption, run your AC less, carpool instead of driving and grow plants. You can drastically reduce your carbon footprint through small life changes.”

Group effort

The Colvin provides many ways for student to stay fit.

Jax Thompson Staff Reporter

If you’re looking to stave off the freshman 15, look no further than the group fitness classes offered at the Colvin Recreation Center. These classes offer a smaller, more intimate setting to work out in, with more oneon-one attention and instruction than if you just went to the gym by yourself. They also offer a wide selection of time slots to suit students’ needs. Carley Long, a recent graduate from the veterinary medicine program, appreciat-

ed being able to attend classes at the time that worked best for her. “I loved that there are classes early in the morning. As a grad student it can be hard to get to the gym after a full day of class and clinics,” Long said. And the best part? It’s free. Hannah Bush is the graduate assistant in charge of the group fitness program. She oversees the instructors and classes, creating an efficient and accessible system. “It’s totally free, it’s included in your recreation membership, so all you have to do is sign up, and you can

go to any one of the classes for free,” Bush said. There are a variety of classes, such as spin, tai chi, yoga, barre, country-western dancing, Zumba, and strength training. Bush also teaches some of these classes. “My favorite class, honestly, to teach is spin. I like going to the music… It’s really fun because music is such a big component of spin class,” Bush said. Spin and strength training classes are some of the more popular classes, but there are also some interesting classes that aren’t as well known. Country-western dancing

is for those of you that want to exercise with cowboy boots. In this class you learn different forms of two-stepping with a partner. Zumba is a form of interval training that incorporates dancing through Latin and hip-hop music. Another under-the-radar class Bush recommends is the mindful meditation yoga class, a new addition this semester. “It’s more about slowing down and showing grace to ourselves, since we just spent an entire year in a pandemic,” Bush said. “You’re really thinking about yourself and thanking yourself for coming and showing up for a workout.”

Signing up for classes is simple, with access available at rec.wellness.okstate.edu. Class sign ups will open 24 hours before the actual start time of the session. The more popular classes such as spin fill up quickly, so those interested should reserve as early as possible. Spots will be reserved up until five minutes before the class. Classes are offered on a session-by-session basis, so there is no pressure to commit to a semester of classes, so students should just sign up for one and see what they think.

Faculty are excited to be back after a long year of having to get creative and trying to find a way to conduct rehearsals and classes around the roadblocks that Covid-19 provided. “It’s magical watching the students make music with their friends again,’’ said Dr. Austin when asked about how it feels to be back on campus with their students. Professor Megan Barth Argo, the Opera Répétiteur, is also happy to be back on campus. “It’s really nice to see students having more opportunities to follow their dreams,” Professor Barth said.

Dr. Adams agrees. “It’s amazing being back, being able to function normally again.” Dr. Adams said. It’s really hard to tell who’s more excited about being back on campus, the faculty or the students. With all of the excitement radiating from the faculty and students it’s hard not to match their level of energy, especially with so much to look forward to.

Three transfers expected to impact OSU in 2021 Calif Poncy Staff Reporter

Danny Godlevske - Center Miami (OH) Godlevske is the most distinguished of the incoming transfers for Oklahoma State. Transferring from Miami (OH) he is listed as the starting center in the initial depth chart, replacing Ry Schneider, who graduated after this past season. Godlevske has appeared on the preseason watchlist for the Rimington Trophy three times, given to the top center in college football. Along with this, Godlevske was named to the Third Team All-MAC roster in 2019, his last full season. He was on pace to be a 4-year starter for the RedHawks before COVID-19 ended Miami’s season after just three games. Godlevske is aiming to provide the same thing he did for Miami in Stillwater, be a consistent force at the center position. Caleb Etienne- Left tackle Butler Community College Etienne garners the most hype of any of OSU’s incoming transfers. Arriving from Butler C.C in El Dorado, Kansas, Etienne is listed as a second option on the depth chart, behind Taylor Miterko. Coach Mike Gundy said Etienne will play against Missouri State on Saturday, assuming the battle for the starting left tackle spot still might not be decided. Beyond his ability on the football field, Etienne’s size is what stands out. He is listed at 6-foot-7, 350-pounds, but there is far more than his size to be excited about. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Etienne did not play in 2020, but in 2019 he was named a NJCAA All-American as a freshman. He was recruited by the likes of Oregon, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and many other and chose to come to Stillwater. Offensive lineman Jake Springfield is swinging to the right side to replace Teven Jenkins, leaving the left side to become Etienne’s. Jaylen Warren- Running back - Utah State OSU enters 2021 with a wealth of depth at the running back position, and right in the middle is Warren. He spent two seasons playing for Utah State prior to transferring. During the 2019 season, Warren was second on the Aggies team in rushing, accumulating 569 yards on 112 carries, and played three games in 2020 before entering the transfer portal. Warren, like Etienne, is listed as a ‘or’ option on the depth chart, but could be an X-factor for the Cowboys this season. Chris Becker A bevy on new players arrive in Stillwater this offseason, but which ones names will you be hearing this season?

Grace for it sports

Yochum nears all-time scoring record Sam Hutchens Staff Reporter 30.

No. 1 was similar to No.

Nearly three years after senior defender Grace Yochum scored her first career goal as a Cowgirl on a cross from Jaci Jones in 2019, a similar sight unfolded at Neal Patterson stadium. Oklahoma State beat Wright State 1-0 on Sunday night at Neal Patterson Stadium in Stillwater. The lone goal, scored by Yochum on a cross into the box, led to a record book revision. Yochum started running toward the back post of the goal before junior forward Megan Haines sent a cross Yochum’s way. The timing was perfect. Yochum outleapt junior Raider defender Michelle Rings and used the unoccupied airspace to head the ball into the goal. It was Yochum’s 30th career-goal — a number which moved her into a tie for fifth as the all-time OSU scoring leader. “It’s a big deal, and obviously I couldn’t have done it without my teammates setting me up and putting me in position to score goals,” Yochum said. “At the end of the day, you know a lot of them are tap-ins and my teammates would be the first to say that, but a goal is a goal.” Though the mark was

achieved in a similar was to how it was started, Yochum has built her record in a diverse fashion. “She’s very dangerous in the 18 (yard goalie box),” coach Colin Carmichael said. “She’s great in the air so she scores headers. She can score from distance as she did against Pitt. She’s dangerous on set plays corners and free kicks and penalties. She has a well-rounded game and that allows her to get on the scoresheet.” Yochum needs five goals to tie the all-time record of 35 held by Yolanda Thomas and Jolene Schweitzer. “When she came in awe knew that she was going to make an impact here at OSU,” senior defender Hannah Webb said. “And then as she matured as a player, I think that’s when she really stepped into that goal scoring spot. She’s just continued to get better each year.” Yochum said she is most comfortable playing as holding midfielder but welcomes playing a different position if need be. Carmichael planned to play Yochum at midfielder this season but has used her as a forward while forwards Gabriella Coleman and Olyvia Dowell are out with injury. Carmichael, who has been at OSU since the inception of the soccer program, is grateful for the versatility Yochum brings. “Having Grace up there gives us that extra goal threat,” Carmichael said. “She’s as good a finisher as we’ve had here. She can do it all.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
