This is the latest in a series of Israel-related controversies at Harvard following Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Oct. 7. An explosive student group letter blamed Israel entirely for the attacks, setting off a firestorm on campus. This discrimination complaint involving Ganz goes back to the spring when the Harvard Kennedy School

professor faced bias allegations against three Jewish Israeli graduate students. After a third-party investigator found that Ganz subjected the students to anti-Israel and antisemitic discrimination, the university has still not publicly reprimanded the prof, according to the Brandeis Center.

Students, families, and alumni “ooh” and “ah” as they view the clever craftsmanship of each intricate piece of “pomp” during walkaround. Walkaround at OSU is part of what makes Homecoming unique. This year, walkaround was held at 5:30 p.m. on Fri-

day. This year’s theme for the pomping decor was “The Year of the Cowboy.” This was chosen because OSU’s sacred mascot, Pistol Pete, turned 100 years old this year. Each house integrated this theme in a different way, and creativity shone through each masterpiece. See Walkaround on 6

Gundy quotables, preparing for OU offense, Leon Johnson III’s redshirt update Ashton Slaughter Assistant Sports Editor OSU coach Mike Gundy met with the media on Monday for his weekly press conference heading into the Cowboys’ matchup against Oklahoma. With the final Bedlam for the foreseeable future just days away, here are a few key notes from Gundy’s presser. But first, some quotes from the OSU coach. Gundy talking about how the Bedlam rivalry has changed over the years: “I would go to parties in Oklahoma, and they’d say, ‘(Brian) Bosworth and (Paul) Migliazzo, and some of those guys were here,’ and so I had to make a decision whether were we gonna have confrontation there and who was with me. You know, those guys — I could kick ‘em in the shin and run like hell — but, you know, I’m not dumb, so we had to make those decisions. Because, I mean, what kind of frame of mind was Brian going to be at that point? Had he taken a Vitamin C and had a few drinks, well, he might not be a guy you want to talk to at that point.” Gundy joking about his sideline interaction with running back Ollie Gordon II this past Saturday: “I need to become a counselor; the C I got in psychology my second year of college must’ve provided some insight.” Gundy on Gordon’s potential with advertisements: “As he progresses in his career, as he handled things, he could market himself for a huge future in advertisements, commercials and stuff, cause they’re looking for guys like that. He’s a good-looking guy; he’s big; he’s got a beautiful smile; he’s got a great personality; he likes to talk to people; they’ll be all over him.” Gundy telling a story about Barry Sanders’ diet when he was a Cowboy: “The nutritionists that we have that feed our team and stick things down their throat — vitamins and gummies that give them energy and all the stuff we have now — they could not work (with him) because he lived on Snickers and cookies.” Alright, let’s talk football. Gundy on OU offense, Bedlam preparation The Cowboys’ defense, though improved, still has the 101st-ranked rushing defense. Enter the Sooners, who have a big-name quarterback in Dillion Gabriel but aren’t afraid to rush the ball, for offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby’s offensive foundation is running the ball. This isn’t Cincinnati or another new Big 12 team (which OSU will see in the last three games of the season), so Gundy has a clear idea of what OU is going to throw at his team.

Ethan Scott OSU coach Mike Gundy shared a humorous story about parties with Brian Bosworth and Paul Migliazzo, among other things, at his weekly presser.

“We have to play physical up front,” he said. “They still want to rush the football… they believe in the width of the field — flipping the ball out in the flat and controlling the perimeter.” The OSU strategy is to run the ball, play physically, and work in some passes in between. Despite the Bedlam rivalry game, Gundy says this approach won’t change. “We can’t get out of our box, or we will not play well;

we’re not good enough to get out of our box and lose sight of what we have to do and recover,” Gundy said. “Now, I’ve had teams that could — this team’s not one of them.” Looking back on Leon Johnson III’s play, the status of injured Cowboys In the absence of Jaden Bray, Tayln Shettron and Blaine Green, Leon Johnson III stepped up against Cincinnati. The senior D-III transfer wideout had five catches for 149 yards, leading OSU in yards

in a game with multiple guys down. As for the injured players, Gundy said they’re “hopefully getting some of the injured players back.” With Johnson’s emergence, though, it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t continue to get reps whether the other receivers return or not. When you perform like that in a game like Homecoming, it’s hard to look past it. “Until we get a young man on the field in a game, we

never know what they can do,” Gundy said. “...He’s a perfect example of nobody would have thought that he could’ve come in (for) his first game… and perform at the level he did.” Talk about him appearing in more games this season has been substantial since Johnson could still redshirt this season and save his eligibility for next season. However, Gundy says it doesn’t look like Johnson will be redshirted for the time being. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Courtesy of OSU Athletics/Bruce Waterfield OSU defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo said he tries to be the same whether his team is playing Cincinnati or OU.

OSU’s Bryan Nardo “fully on-board” with Bedlam rivalry Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter Bryan Nardo is no stranger to fierce rivalries. Oklahoma State’s rookie D-I defensive coordinator coached in “The Turnpike Tussle” with Emporia State versus Washburn University, the longest running Division-II rivalry. When he was a graduate assistant at Ohio, the Bobcats played Miami OH in “The Battle of the Bricks.” At his latest stop before OSU, Gannon and Mercyhurst

competed in “The Battle of the Niagara Cup. Those schools are just a few blocks away from each other. On Saturday, Nardo will coach in maybe his biggest rivalry yet. Bedlam. And not just any Bedlam, perhaps THE Bedlam, as the rivalry will not be played for the foreseeable future when Oklahoma moves to the SEC. “Once I get somewhere, I get fully on-board with who we’re supposed to wanna beat,” Nardo said. “I think that’s the only way you can be great at something is to fully dive into it. I’m excited to get to work on it. I’m gonna get some sleep, go to Church then get to work.”

Nardo isn’t used to losing rivalries, either. He was 6-2 against Washburn at Emporia State. When you win “The Battle of the Bricks,” you get a mug, and Nardo has six from when Ohio beat Miami OH. When he learned Miami OH beat Ohio on Saturday, he couldn’t believe it. “Dang. Dang!” Nardo said. “What? Miami beat the Bobcats? That stinks.” Preparing for a big game is no different, though. Nardo doesn’t try to hype the locker room, letting that happen naturally. He does that for every game. He said he’s just worried about game

planning the same he does for every opponent. “Coach Gundy has a plan in place for how they get themselves excited to do what they do,” Nardo said. “I try to stay (leveled) and be the same person. It doesn’t matter if we’re playing Cincinnati or Oklahoma, I understand it’s a different perspective for people watching, but if you treat it any different, you’re going to look over something or you’re going to miss something because you’re too excited.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

sports Harvard... Continued from 1 Also, the professor was recently applauded for his civil rights work in the Harvard Gazette, the university’s official news website. The discrimination complaint is not mentioned in the piece. “The professor’s work on behalf of minorities in the sixties may be admirable, but publicly featuring him in this fashion, mere months after he was found to have created a hostile environment for his students, suggest the pledge made to the Students that the university would fully address the violations were mere empty words,” Brandeis Center officials wrote to Harvard’s general counsel. “The professor is no civil rights champion when it comes to minorities he personally finds distasteful, namely, Jewish Israelis,” they added. “He is in fact a civil rights violator, who undisputedly trampled the rights of members of his class without hesitation or apology, denigrating the Students’ identity and preventing them from participating fully in his class.” The Israeli students in Ganz’s class had been working on a project about strengthening Israel’s liberal and Jewish democracy. Ganz reportedly told the students that they had to change their project, saying they couldn’t use the term “Jewish democracy” for Israel. He compared a project promoting Jewish democracy to a project touting white supremacy.

Tribune News Service Supporters of Palestine gather at Harvard University to show their support for Palestinians in Gaza at a rally in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Oct. 14, 2023. Thousands of Palestinians sought refuge on October 14 after Israel warned them to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip before an expected ground offensive against Hamas, one week on from the deadliest attack in Israeli history.

Meanwhile, two of Ganz’s teaching fellows during the final class taught a lesson on how to recruit support for Palestinians. After the third-party investigation concluded that Ganz had subjected the students to

anti-Israel and antisemitic bias and discrimination, Harvard Kennedy School Dean Douglas Elmendorf committed to addressing the harassment and discrimination. “We need to ensure that the School fulfills these com-

mitments and that the violations of policies that occurred this spring are addressed fully and do not recur,” the dean wrote in June. The Brandeis Center is calling on Harvard to commit to university-wide changes,

including requiring all faculty and staff to undergo training on antisemitism. Harvard and Ganz did not immediately respond to comment on Monday. news.ed@ocolly.com

TRUST THE LORD! (Part #2) “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” (Is.30:15 NIV) This is what God was saying to his people, but their reaction was to reject his counsel, then struggle and try to work out their troubles in their own way. God was telling them to turn to him (repentance), stop your fretting, quiet yourselves and look to me; trust me! Let God be the objective of your faith. God never gets tired, but he strengthens the tired and weary. (Is.40:28-29) It is so easy to go the way of his ancient people; trying to work things out ourselves. When we talk of quieting ourselves; this is not passiveness or inactivity, but a turning in our thoughts to the one who has promised so much to those who will trust him. Look at Ps.123:2, “As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their

master...so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.” How about Ps.131:1-2 “...I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with its mother.” Our activity is turning and quieting ourselves before the one who is truly our helper. Returning to Is. 30; verse 18: Here is God’s attitude toward us; “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion.” Isaiah finishes by saying; “Blessed are all who wait for him!” God is good toward us because of Christ. He wants to take action, so He says stop! (seems contrary) Spent some time with him and trust him in the challenges of life. He will lead and work his way! Trust him; you will not be ashamed!

Isaac Terry Jack-o-lantern stencils provide a rough guideline for carving, but carvers can take their own liberties with designs.

Best ways to design your jack-o-lantern Isaac Terry Staff Reporter

Carving a pumpkin is one of the highlights of Halloween and fall, in general. But it can be a bit difficult to find the right stencil or inspiration for your jack-o-lantern. The easiest way I’ve learned to find cute stencils for your lanterns is to look for a jack-o-lantern stencil book. These usually come with their own

pumpkin carving tools and cost about $5. This can limit your choice. However, there are thousands of pumpkin carving outlines for free online that you can print, cut out and use for carving your pumpkin. You can even design your own and print it out. When deciding on what kind of stencil you want, you should keep in mind the shape of your pumpkin. If it’s wide, you might want a more horizontal or “landscape” style stencil. If it’s taller, you might want a taller, more vertical one.

It’s important to note that not all styles are easy to carve. Many have a lot of details, which can take longer and may be easy to mess up. It’s also important to remember that stencils aren’t set in stone. If you want to modify them, nobody is going to stop you. Add your own flare or improve the design. It’s your lantern. Once you’ve found a stencil you like, be sure it fits your pumpkin by attaching the stencil to the side you plan to carve. This is to see if you have enough carving space. Some people use push-

pins to stick the stencil on, but I prefer to use tape so that it doesn’t poke any holes into the skin that will be visible later. Don’t forget to leave space for the “lid” of your pumpkin so that it doesn’t cut into the design you want. Remember, you don’t have to have a stencil to carve a great jack-o-lantern. You can draw your own design straight onto the pumpkin or forget the outline entirely and start carving right away. There are no real rules, and you should have fun while doing it. news.ed@ocolly.com
