For college athletes, the abundance of pressure that comes with being a student-athlete can be
Abby Cage Gunnar Gundy, the son of OSU head coach Mike Gundy, is acclimating to a backup quarterback role.
because of college athletics alone— although that plays a huge part in it — but primarily because of his last name.The Gundy name has been engraved in the OSU and Stillwater community for decades, largely due to the profuse amount of success. Through 17 seasons as the head coach, Mike Gundy tallied 149 wins, cementing himself as the winningest coach in program history, while recording seven seasons with 10 or more wins, 16 winning seasons, two New Year’s Six bowl victories, and the program’s first Big 12 conference title along the way. Gunnar felt the burden of carrying that last name on his shoulders throughout his high school career at Stillwater, and now during his college career at OSU. “The first year was awkward,” Gunnar said. “Everyone is getting used to me being his kid. My other teammates didn’t really know how to react to me (at first).”For Gunnar, the best part of playing in his hometown is simple — fulfilling a lifelong dream of playing college football for OSU.Gunnar recalls days and nights of watching Cowboy football games on his home television, dressed in an orange OSU jersey, occasionally with a helmet around his head. In those moments, the boy would search for his father through the pixels on his home television and watch him pace the sidelines.

As the years went by, Gunnar began to wonder what it would be like to play under his father and potentially be the next Gundy at OSU. “I’ll admit it, I’ve always wanted to play football at Oklahoma State,” Gunnar said. “As time went on, I wanted to play here and do what (my dad) did here to a certain extent.” Gunnar had to develop a level of composure during his high school days, and it was much needed. From chants generated by opposing student sections, to sly comments in post game handshakes or in-game action, to occasional attacks and negative comments on Twitter, the secondyear college quarterback has learned a lot from his past experiences and learned to keep his composure in tense moments.Gunnar’s former coach at Stillwater High School, Tucker Barnard, says the level of confidence he has shown over the years has built him for moments like this, a sentiment he’s said since Gunnar won the starting job on varsity his sophomore season. “When he won the starting job that early I knew the kid was different,” Barnard said. “If he ever does get to that point (of being the starter) it’s going to be really hard. I can imagine the level of tolerance toward mistakes will be really low, and I feel for him in that sense. But I know it’s what he wants, and I know he can handle it. He did it in high school, he can do it in college.” Mike also played a part in his son’s ability to properly dissect his two personas both on and off the football field, by simply letting him grow on his own. He said as difficult as it may be, he realizes in the long run, it’s simply what is best for his son. “It’s extremely difficult for both of us, but what I do is I just stay away,” Mike said. “It’s best for me to stay away and let (Tim Rattay) coach him, and let them function and let him make mistakes a freshman quarterback (makes), and then let him grow and develop.”Asthe 2022 season approaches, Gunnar is willing to accept his role on the team. Whether it be second or third string quarterback, staying true to his humble mindset is something he plans to do this “Beingyear.here in Stillwater for such a long period of time and being around Oklahoma State and the Cowboys for my entire life basically, I’ve always wanted to come here,” Gunnar said. “OSU’s always been home in my opinion, and I enjoy it too much.”

start at defender was her 60th in as many matches, so there aren’t many players on the squad with more experience in a Cowgirl uniform. But even for her, it was refreshing to get in on some offense and do something unfamiliar.“I’ve only had one other assist my whole time being here,” Jackson said. “So just getting two today made me feel really good.”

Mackenzie Janish Cowgirl defender Ally Jackson doubled her career assist total Sunday afternoon in a 4-0 win over Missouri State.
As Olyvia Dowell’s shot found net on the north goal of Neal Patterson Stadium, a thought raced into Ally Jackson’s head. “It Butworked.”thedebate was this: Who did the credit go Momentsto?earlier, Jackson, a starting defender, looked to the sideline and made eye contact with coach Colin Carmichael, who had a message. “Look in behind them,” he said. A few seconds later, in the 61st minute, Jackson had possession of the ball and did just that. The senior zipped a pass behind the Missouri State (0-1-1) defense and down the left side, where Dowell, a senior forward, had a driving lane to the goal. The play resulted in an assist for Jackson and the final goal of the Cowgirls’ 4-0 win over the Bears Sunday“Soafternoon.I’mclaiming half credit,” Carmichael joked. “But no, amazing ball, and she has that ability to pick out passes and play people in.” Jackson acknowledged Carmichael’s hand in the play and seceded some of the glory to her coach, but made sure to let him know her playmaking had something to do with it. “I’ll give credit – half credit – to him,” Jackson said. “Because obviously it was my ball.” A defender typically doesn’t typically record many assists – Jackson had only one career assist before the match, despite starting every game the last three seasons. But her background and style of plays give her that ability. Jackson played up front in high school and was an effective scorer, so she likes to push further up the field. Teammates and staff often tease with the defender at practice because of her tendency to move forward. “I like to go (forward),” Jackson said. “(Carmichael) always tells me to kinda go back a little because he gets a little worried. But yeah, I like to go forward. It’s fun.” The assist to Dowell was her second of the night, doubling-up her career total in just one match. The first assist came in the fourth minute on a pass from midfield to freshman forward Gracie Bindbeutel to give the Cowgirls (2-0) the early lead. “I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ball from Ally,” Bindbeutel, who scored her first goal off that very assist, said. “It was literally right on my foot. I just had to do the job and put it in theJackson’sgoal.”

But Harrison Murphy of the newly formed University Park Interfraternity Council, an umbrella organization for the breakaway chapters, said Friday the claim that they were rebelling against strict party rules is untrue. “I want to say unequivocally that no, we are not disaffiliating to dodge these social event policies that were put into place,” said Murphy, a senior majoring in political science and history.In fact, he said, the 15 chapters that were members of the USC Interfraternity Council last year first recommended most of the strict rules issued by a university working group after multiple allegations of drugging and sexual assault at Sigma Nu and other fraternity house parties in fall 2021. Fraternity leaders came up with the rules to post security guards at hallways leading to bedrooms, create “sober rooms” to provide drunk partygoers with water and food, provide toxicity testing kits for those who suspect they had been drugged, and require alcohol to be served in closed containers. Some chapters even hired emergency medical technicians for parties, he said, and all social events are staffed by thirdparty security guards and licensed professional bartenders. The University Park Interfraternity Council is abiding by all of these rules and will not admit any fraternity facing misconduct allegations, he said. The breakaway fraternities in the new council are: Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Alpha Order, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Mu, Sigma Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau. Murphy said members that separated from USC did so because they felt the university’s policies toward Greek organizations were unfair and flawed. For instance, he said, USC banned all social events from November 2021 through January 2022 even for fraternities that had done no wrong. Most were not able to resume events until March due to lengthy new safety training requirements, he said. Despite months of negotiations between USC and the fraternities, the two sides could not reach agreement on the scope of sanctions or a faster timeline to resolve their conflicts. “We reached a final point where the [breakaway] groups did not want to go through another year of this type of system,” said Judson Horras, president of the North American Interfraternity Conference, which represents more than 6,200 member chapters in 57 national and international men’s fraternities.
USC strongly criticized the move to disaffiliate and invite first-year students to rush, saying in a statement that such fall recruitment “has been repeatedly shown to be unsafe for new students.” The university, which stripped the breakaway fraternities of the right to use the USC name, logo or campus Greek life resources, also asserted they were “chafing at procedures and protocols designed to prevent sexual assault and drug abuse and deal with issues of mental health and underage drinking.”

“ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be stead fast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Co.15:58 NKJ) Just about everything in this life is tempo rary. Yet, most people work very hard to have a pleasant few years in their lifetime. I would like to remind the true Christians that God is offering us an eternity of bless ing as we serve him and his purposes now.
On a warm Friday afternoon, a large crowd of young men walked along 28th Street near USC wearing sneakers, colored shorts and lanyards imprinted with their names as they visited one fraternity house after another.They were welcomed by other young men dressed in colorful T-shirts branded with their fraternity name and graphic designs — one showed a hand wrapped around a glass bottle, another played off the “Kill Bill: Vol. 2” movie poster that featured a blond woman brandishing a sword. Another showed a retro image of a woman in formal attire being offered a bottle of soda — “Rush Kappa Alpha 2022,” the shirt said. Rap and house music blasted from speakers. The guys shot hoops and lobbed a volleyball in a sand pit. And on the sidewalk, prospective and current fraternity members traded notes. “This one had the free burritos,” one said to two young men next to him. In many ways, such fall “rush” or recruitment activities are a Greek life rite of passage. But they are limited at USC. In 2017, the university banned fall rush for first-year students after multiple reports of hazing at fraternity houses and longstanding faculty concerns about the negative effect of pledging rituals on student grades and health.However, the eight fraternities that welcomed first-year students to their recruitment event Friday had all disaffiliated from USC last week. In a bold move and despite USC warnings, they decided that, for better or worse, they would rather be free from what they said are unfair university policies and chart their own course. As USC students, they remain subject to campus conduct rules and laws against hazing, sexual assault and other misconduct.
The university has posted a prominent warning against the breakaway fraternities on the campus Greek life portal: “The following groups are NOT AFFILIATED with USC. They are not subject to oversight by university staff, and have elected to forgo support resources and other benefits provided to recognized student groups. Some groups are undertaking unauthorized recruitment. Students are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to not join or affiliate with these organizations.”

For the 10th Hunger Games, Snow is granted the honor of being a tribute mentor, mentoring the female tribute from District 12, Lucy Gray Baird. Snow becomes infatuated with Lucy Gray, captured by her song-bird like voice that she uses to entertain the people of District 12 and steal the hearts of the Capitol. Snow makes it his goal to make Lucy Gray the victor of the 10th Hunger Games; for his own success and for his love for her.
