Spring Sing raises more than $16,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer Nuria Martinez-Keel @OColly

Beatlemania struck in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Saturday night for OSU’s 50th annual Spring Sing event.

Twelve pairings of fraternities and sororities danced, cheesed and sang like it was the second coming of the British Invasion.

Every performance featured one Beatles song along with several other hits that were rewritten to fit with each individual act’s theme.

Students sang about sharks, bugs, barbers and much more. The MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2015

OSU Greek community featured its talent not only for performing, but also for philanthropy.

“I think any time you get a big, diverse group of people like this together in one place with one cause, which is to raise money for a great cause, I think good things are going to happen,” said Josh White, head director from Alpha Tau Omega.

Good things did happen, in fact, as the show raised more than $16,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer, a charity involving basketball coaches and fans who raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Proceeds from ticket sales, donations, a raffle and a benefit night at Chick-Fil-A helped

gather the funds.

OSU radio broadcaster Dave Hunziker accepted the check on behalf of Coaches vs. Cancer. He said in his acceptance speech he hopes some day no one will have to donate to cancer research because a cure for the disease will be found.

Four children fighting cancer also came on stage to represent Coaches vs.

Cancer. Their appearance drew a standing ovation from the audience. “(Coaches vs. Cancer) obviously is an incredible thing, being able to bring out kids,” said Allan Cole, head director of Beta Theta Pi. “That’s what it’s all about at the end of the day. If we can raise money for that, finding a cure,

then this is fantastic.”

Every year Spring Sing brings the Greek community together to support charity and the casts.

Kappa Delta and Phi Gamma Delta placed third with their performance of “High School Cliques” which featured

jocks, preps, nerds and emos.

ROTC students tread 26 miles during Spring Break Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

Eight Oklahoma State ROTC students volunteered to end their Spring Breaks by walking 26 miles under the scorching sun of White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, through long stretches of sandy hills.

Not to mention they performed this strenuous task with 35-pound rucksacks strapped to their backs.

Led by Addy Brongo, animal science freshman and STEM scholarship recipient, these ROTC cadets trained to walk the marathon as a way of honoring veterans through the Bataan Memorial Death March.

Michael Dale, the OSU ROTC enrollment and scholarship officer, said the event memorializes the World War II soldiers who became prisoners of war while defending the Philippines.

“They basically marched them from one location to another with very little food, water or medical care,” Dale said. “A great many of them perished along the way.”

Although the memorial event is complete with water and medical stations every few miles, the ROTC cadets were still subjected to a grueling course with an especially trying region known as the “Sand Pit.” “It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” Brongo said. “It tests you

both physically and emotionally.”

After enduring the march a year ago, Brongo organized the event with the OSU ROTC because she thought it would be a fun opportunity for them to test their physical abilities “It’s pretty impressive of her as a freshman to get this together,” Dale said. “You give her something to do and she’s on it.”

This year, almost 6,000 people participated in the march. John Beaty, an OSU professor of military science, said he saw the University of Oklahoma’s ROTC along the way.

“We beat them, just so you know,” Beaty said with a laugh.

After 8 1/2 hours of

strategically pacing themselves in the course category called ROTC heavy, Brongo said they bonded in way you can’t bond when just hanging out.

“We went through some pretty intense pain together,” Brongo said.

Despite the pain of blisters, sunburns and muscle aches, Brongo said their group talked to pass the time and was the only group she heard laughing the entire course.

“You hurt — you’re tired and you just want to be done, but you keep on going,” Brongo said.

After completing the course with their rucksacks, filled with random things such as kitty litter and dog food to meet the 35-pound

limit, the group exhaustedly scarfed down a pizza and rested at a hotel nearby.

“I still feel like I’m recovering,” Beaty said.

Despite the exhaustion, many ROTC members have already shown interested in

next year’s Bataan Memorial Death March.

“I was really proud of myself for doing it last year,” Brongo said. “I know I’ll do it again next year.” news@ocolly.com

OSU professor has a haunted hobby Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvenoff

It’s easy to get lost in the world of Tim Prchal — where stories might lie within stories, ghosts might be real and Tim Prchal might just be his pen name, Tim Prasil.

In his newly published novel, “Help for the Haunted: A Decade of Vera Van Slyke Ghostly Mysteries (1899-1909),” Tim Prchal, an Oklahoma State English professor, draws you into the early 20th century for a collection of ghost-busting tales that draw inspiration from Sherlock Holmes.

Prchal discovered his niche for writing after TIM working in broadcasting and writing radio commercials.

“That’s what really got me into writing formally,” Prchal said. “But I never liked the fact that I had to be limited to 30 seconds.”

Three years ago, Prchal truly took to writing and brought Tim Prasil to life, his fictional penname. Prasil is Czech for “storyteller.”

“I’m very skeptical, but there’s something about ghosts that compel people,” Prchal said.

“More than half the population believes that ghosts exist.”

Prchal began his novel by creating a story within a story, and introducing penname Tim Prasil.

Prasil, a writer himself, edits the stories of his great grandaunt Lida, who is the assistant to a newspaper reporter and famous ghost hunter of the 1900s, Vera Van Slyke.

“Vera is the Sherlock Holmes and Lida is the Dr. Watson,” Prchal said.

Vera is a take-noprisoners reporter who lacks the social skills of her assistant Lida but manages to maintain the dry humor common in Prchal’s own repertoire.

“Ghosts are like cats.

They’re real, but they hardly come when called,” Vera Van Slyke says in one of the short stories.

Cindy Sheets, a Stillwater resident and fan

novel, the characters are riddled with a guilt that resonates in every story.

“Guilt is just a common theme in literature,” Prchal said as he referenced, “The Scarlet Letter,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne as proof.

After publishing some of these short stories on WordPress, Prchal was contacted by Emby Press, which according to its biography is designed for “anyone who ever heard a bump in the night and liked it.”

Miles Boothe, publisher of Emby Press, said he sees great things ahead for Vera Van Slyke — enough so that he made an offer to publish it.

“I believe that this character could be very successfully portrayed on film,” Boothe said.

Rudolph growing as Cowboys’ top signal caller Chandler Vessels @ChandlerVessels

The Oklahoma State backfield is unusually calm.

Unlike past seasons, where talk of a quarterback battle has permeated the headlines, this year the Cowboys are committed to one man. That man is Mason Rudolph.

With Rudolph under center, the offense looks composed, too. In a scrimmage in practice Friday, Rudolph failed to score on the first drive. But the sophomore was unfazed, shredding the defense on the ensuing drive and delivering a quick touchdown.

Knowing that he will be the starter has provided Rudolph comfort and allowed him to focus on developing his game.

“Obviously, with the added amount of reps in the spring, you get more experience and you’re seeing a lot of looks,” Rudolph said.

“It’s been good and we’re just trying to keep getting better every day.”

Rudolph has seen tremendous success in a short period of time.

After making his debut in late November 2014, he led OSU to a road victory against Bedlam rival Oklahoma. After that, he had his best game of his young career, passing for 299 yards and two touchdowns in a Cactus Bowl triumph against Washington.

But there are still plenty of things Rudolph hasn’t learned. This spring, he’s dedicated himself to preparing for a full season as the starter.

MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2015

KURT STEISS/O’COLLY

Boone Pickens visited OSU’s scrimmage Friday.

“Every time I’ve seen him, he’s been in the film room, honestly,” said tight end Blake Jarwin. “He’s always in there trying to get better. If he makes a mistake out here, he fixes it the next series.

He’s a great leader.”

His meteoric rise has resulted in lofty expectations.

But Rudolph isn’t even close to his potential.

“Mason’s done very well,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “I’ve seen him improve considerably over the last six or seven practices. The one thing we all need to remember about Mason: He’s a long ways away from being a finished product. He’s only played in three games.

“But he’s going to get better every day. He’s eager, his attitude’s good and his work ethic’s good. Those things will help him become a better quarterback and a good leader for our team.”

His game has improved, but inexperience has its unique set of challenges.

Rudolph is still adjusting to the mental side of things.

“In my opinion, he needs to continue to develop lead-

ership,” Gundy said. “His attitude’s good, his work habits are good, he’s developed his body. He needs to learn to distribute the ball to the players that can make plays and take what the defense gives him.”

Rudolph will get the chance to showcase his improvement Saturday, when OSU will take the field for its spring game.

There’s no doubt fans will be watching, critiquing his every move. That’s what comes with being top dog.

But this is what Rudolph has been waiting for, and make no mistake — he’s ready. sports@ocolly.com Up Next

Cowgirls show out on senior day, beat KU 4-0 Victoria Dodge @Victoria_Dodge

The match against Kansas State was about more than just the win.

This weekend was senior weekend for the Cowgirls’ only senior, Karyn Guttormsen, and she and Oklahoma State capitalized with a 4-0 victory.

“Senior day is always emotional and tough and some kids don’t play their best in that environment, puts sometimes some unneeded pressure on some kids to play well for the senior,” coach Chris Young said. “The girls all obviously wanted to win for Karyn and we did that.”

No. 9 OSU is now 4-2 in the Big 12 and 17-4 overall.

On court one, Viktoriya Lushkova and Guttormsen struggled to keep a lead over K-State in the beginning but got into a rhythm and ended up winning 6-4, getting OSU the doubles point.

No. 67 Katarina Adamovic and Vladica Babic tried to stay ahead of their opponents but lost the match 6-3.

Carla Tur Mari and Maria Alvarez were on court three and breezed by their opponents to get OSU its first team point, winning 6-1.

OSU led 1-0 going into singles.

On court two, No. 109 Adamovic was a little rusty

from not playing Friday; however, she won her first set 6-4. Her second set went unfinished, and she was losing 3-2.

No. 122 Kelsey Laurente broke her losing streak with a runaway match. She won her first set 6-1 and brought the Cowgirls the last point they needed to sweep KState, winning her second set 6-2.

“It’s been a great break for her, and she’s handled it really well, so maybe that’s something to look at in the future,” Young said.

On court four, Guttormsen played fairly well to finish her senior weekend.

She dominated in her first set, winning 6-2. She lost the second set 6-1, and her third set went unfinished, losing 2-1.

Tur Mari was on court five. She won her first set with ease, giving up no points, winning 6-0. She was the second to finish her second set, with a score of 6-2.

On court six, Alvarez, who is typically slow to start, won her first set 6-2.

She was the first to finish her second set, winning 6-1.

Q&A with former Cowgirl star Tiffany Bias Jordan Bishop @Jordanbishop35

Tiffany Bias, former Cowgirl basketball standout and current WNBA player for the Phoenix Mercury, was in Stillwater on Sunday, hosting the first “Game Day Clinic” at the Stillwater High School gym from 1-3 p.m.

The O’Colly caught up with Bias after her first season in the WNBA.

Diana Taurasi play and that was my idol growing up. I learned a lot from her. This offseason I’ve really been working a lot with my change of pace and just changing my speed up. You know, I’ve always had that fast, fast, fast (speed) all the time.

I’ve been working with my trainer Irv Roland, who works for the Suns. That’s one thing I’ve really been focusing on.

O’Colly: How would you say the transition went from going from OSU to the professional level at Phoenix?

Bias: I think it’s different, you know, college it’s a business, too, but when you really get to the WNBA it’s a true business. It’s all about what they need, not really about how you feel. Of course they care about your feelings but it’s just a different type of game. You’re playing with the best of the best every night, you really have to be focused and locked in. You don’t have time to have an off night or off day even though they happen. For the most part it’s just bring your “A” game and what you can bring to the team every night.

O’Colly: Does the grind of going to all the different cities in the season wear on you?

Bias: I love traveling.

At first, it’s a little different where you go like once or twice a week and come home for a couple of days. Sometimes (in the WNBA) we will be on the road for four days or five days and living out of a suitcase. It’s a good experience. I like seeing other states and other countries. I didn’t mind it. It’s one of those things that’s a mindset, you kind of have to say, ‘Either way, I’m traveling and I’ve got to be ready.’ It’s fun, you get to travel. Especially my team this last season, we had a great group of women, we all got along and got a championship, you can’t complain about that.

O’Colly: Have you had to adjust your style of play any? I know in college you were faster than anyone else but at the pro level, they’re fast too.

Bias: It was a big learning experience for me this season. I played with a lot of greats. I watched

O’Colly: You played against Brittney Griner in college, so were you excited to be on the same team as her or were you like, “ You played against us and beat us.” Was there any tension there?

Bias: We talk about that all the time, about games

MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2015

O’Colly: Do you think that all your offseason workouts and since Diana’s gone that this season you’re going to be getting a key rotation player role or even some big minute time?

Bias: It’s all up in the air right now. The only thing I’m worrying about is coming into training camp, ready to play and giving it all that I have.

Make sure I’m ready and showing that I’ve improved from last season. I leave it up to the coaches, but I’m going to give it all that I have and workout.

Tiffany Bias started at point guard from 2010-14. She is the Cowgirls’ all-time assist leader.

and stuff like that. But she’s a great person, very humble and very giving person. I was just glad that I went to a team that I knew somebody that kind of took me under their wing and showed me the ropes. During training camp, it’s a very stressful time and you can get cut at any moment. It’s just one of those things where you have to keep your head and be confident in your game. So she was really a person that I talked to and hung out with and she took me out to places if I needed food or anything like that. She’s a great person, and I’m really good friends with

Brittney.

O’Colly: You mentioned you get to see other countries, you went to Hungary after your season. Do you think that’s a trend because Diana (Taurasi) is going to sit in Russia this year and Brittney went to China last year? Is that a trend that’s spreading throughout the league, that people are going to go to Europe and Asia in the offseason?

Bias: I support Diana in whatever she has done and what she’s doing. It’s one of those things where she’s played for 11 years straight, and so I don’t think people put that in perspective on how much

O’COLLY

that wears on your body.

She’s a legend and one of the greats. Everyone in our profession is like, “You deserve it, 11 years without a break, hands down you deserve a break.” We all play overseas during our offseason. Some people don’t. I kind of did half and half this season.

Our season’s not that long, it’s only three months, four months. So taking that time off, sometimes it’s needed, especially for bodies to recover. Especially if an overseas team is going to pay. You have to think about it, it’s our job, too, and we have to make a living. Financially, it’s a smart thing.

O’Colly: When did you have the idea to come back here and do this event here in Stillwater?

Bias: I’ve always just wanted to come back to Stillwater and have a little shindig, a little camp for kids. Anytime that I can at least touch a few kids and give back. Just show them and tell them what I went through to get there. I love doing stuff like that, I love working with kids, and I love just generally giving back.

The turnout was fine and more like individual and more one-on-one time with the girls. I can spend each time and talk to them about their games and what they need to work on. If they have any questions and just share a little bit about me because a lot of people don’t know about me. They just see the outside, but no, I’m very humble, any time anyone wants to talk to me, I will talk to them. sports@ocolly.com PAGE 8

Cowboy offense sputters as Big 12 series win streak ends at Kansas Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz

The Cowboys set the table, but no one came home to eat.

Oklahoma State couldn’t get the clutch hit it needed Sunday to extend its 10-series Big 12 win streak as the Jayhawks beat the Cowboys 4-2 Sunday in Lawrence, Kansas.

“You’ve got to give Kansas credit,” OSU coach Josh Holliday said during his postgame radio show. “They pitched good all weekend long. It’s frustrating, for sure, but in the end, we had our chances. We didn’t put together enough key moments to turn the board.”

After a 3-2 loss Saturday that saw OSU go 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position, the trend continued Sunday. The No. 9 Cowboys (24-11, 8-4 Big 12) managed just one hit in nine atbats with a runner on second or third, with the team’s only runs produced on solo home runs by Bryan Case in the second and eighth innings.

“Just too many empty at-bats inside of nine innings to mount a serious rally, and as a result we end up on the wrong side of the board,” Holliday said.

Although the Cowboys won 7-2 on Friday, they trailed 1-0 and were held to four hits through six innings by the Jayhawks (15-21, 3-9).

Sunday’s loss gave OSU its first Big 12 series loss since March 21-23, 2014, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2015

against Baylor and forced the Cowboys into a tie atop the conference standings with Oklahoma halfway through Big 12 play.

“I feel like we were stuck in neutral a lot the last two days and couldn’t quite get back into that play-it-forward mode where the guys were really aggressive and attacking and playing freely,” Holliday said.

The Cowboys got a bad break in the third inning when a bunt off Corey Hassel’s bat with runners on the corners could’ve given OSU a 2-0 lead, but a throw from KU first baseman Blair Beck hit Hassel, who was running inside the baseline.

The umpires called interference, ruled Hassel out and returned the runners to the corners.

“From there, we didn’t really put back the offensive charge that I thought we were building,” Holliday said. “… We did not respond from that.”

After making a rotation change and giving ace lefthander Michael Freeman the Saturday start, OSU coach Josh Holliday and pitching coach Rob Walton went with senior southpaw Tyler Nurdin for the rubber match.

The decision was effective early as Nurdin did not allow a base runner the first time through the Jayhawk lineup.

However, in the fourth, a single and two walks loaded the bases for Beck, who hit a two-run double to rightcenter field, ending Nurdin’s outing. Beck hit .400 in the series with five RBIs. The Jayhawks added

“As a staff, we just have to rebound,” Holliday said.
