‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ gives chilling, emotional prequel
of thousands of footsteps, each sound puts the viewer on edge.
Amid the chaos, our central duo finds peace and friendship.
“A Quiet Place: Day One” takes us back to the start of the apocalyptic events with intelligent characters, moments of humanity and silence.
Like its predecessors, this prequel film creates an atmosphere in which the viewer is highly aware of every sound. The big-city setting allows the film to play around with the sound design.
The attention to detail in the sound is exceptional. From the roaring of fighter jet engines to sirens signaling the impending disaster to the cascade
Samira, or “Sam” (Lupita Nyong’o), is a terminally ill cancer patient. The poet lives in hospice care with her support cat, Frodo (Nico & Schnitzel). With nurse Reuben promising to grab a pizza in the city, she attends a marionette show.
During the drive to the city, jets fly overhead and several police cars speed by, their sirens blaring. While at a convenience store, military vehicles race past, but Sam thinks nothing of it. She gets on the bus just as the aliens or “Death Angels” fall from the sky.
Amidst the dust and screams, Sam gets knocked out. She wakes up
in the theater to Henri (Djimon Hounsou) shushing her. Henri and his family were at the marionette show. Some moviegoers may recognize him as the man on the island from “A Quiet Place Part II.”
A significant plus for this movie is that the characters are smart. The disaster is just starting, but everyone knows that silence is the key.
Sam reunites with Frodo and Reuben but tells Reuben that she is going to get pizza. Before he can dissuade her, the building’s generator fires up, and it is too late in his attempts to shut it off. An alien snatches Reuben from the alley, killing him.
Sam and Frodo leave the theater in pursuit of pizza. During her trek, Sam happens upon two children hiding
Three CAS faculty members named Research Faculty Fellows for Strategic Transdisciplinary Initiatives
Skye Cooley
Oklahoma State University professors Drs. Skye Cooley, Katherine Hallemeier and Yolanda Vasquez were recently named College of Arts and Sciences Research Faculty Fellows for Strategic Transdisciplinary Initiatives by Dr. Camelia Knapp, CAS associate dean for research.
In their roles, Cooley, Hallemeier and Vasquez will lead innovative, interdisciplinary research in each of the college’s three pillars: arts and humanities, social sciences, and math and sciences. As fellows, the trio will work with the associate dean and the research team to support CAS research and promote creative activity within the college.
“Drs. Cooley, Hallemeier and Vasquez will play an integral role in positioning the College of Arts and Sciences as a leader in OSU’s overall research landscape,” Knapp said. “I look forward to what they will accomplish with our 24 departments and six interdisciplinary programs and centers and am eager to work alongside them to support our diverse research opportunities.”
An associate professor in the School of Media and Strategic Communications, Cooley will serve as the research fellow for the social sciences pillar. With experience leading research groups, Cooley hopes to leverage his experiences and passion for transdisciplinary research in this role.
“My experience leading the MESA group has shown me how powerful it can be to have a place to onboard new faculty and orient them around making broader community impacts with their research,” Cooley said. “Academics are often so reputationally concerned or line-of-inquiry-specific that we forget that our work is supposed to be reaching others and making a difference.”
Cooley said his background as a social scientist in communications will serve him well in establishing interdisciplinary relationships.
“I would like us to build a space where researchers here at OSU know how to get involved in impact-focused research,” Cooley said. “Most academics come to the profession because they want to make a difference. I hope my impact in this role is making it a little easier for them to know how to get started and be successful.”

in a fountain. Like Lee Abbott in “A Quiet Place,” they have figured out that running water masks sound. After discovering the creatures cannot swim, the military begins water evacuations, using helicopters to lure the “Death Angels” away from the evacuees. Sam points the children in the right direction, but the rising tide of footsteps draws the monsters back, and a massacre ensues. In the mayhem, Eric (Joseph Quinn) emerges from a flooded subway tunnel and follows Frodo to Sam. She tells him to head toward the boats, but he refuses to leave her, opting for pizza.

Oklahoma State added to its transfer portal class Saturday. OSU softball announced via X that Megan Delgadillo, an All-Big West First Team outfielder from Cal State Fullerton, is heading to Stillwater. She has one year of eligibility remaining.
This past season, Delgadillo started all 58 games she appeared in and had a career-best .417 batting average, bringing
19 batters home on 86 hits. Her most impressive stat, though, was stolen bases. She stole a nation-leading 44 bases and won the New Balance/NFCA Golden Shoe Award.
The Riverside, California, native adds some experience to this year’s transfer class and becomes another option for head coach Kenny Gajewski’s outfield. She’ll undeniably be used for base running, though. Delgadillo is the fifth player OSU had added via the portal.

Katherine Hallemeier
Hallemeier’s interest in transdisciplinary research sparked in graduate school, where she worked alongside a diverse team doing HIV/AIDS research. Hallemeier, an associate professor in the Department of English, will serve as the research fellow for the arts and humanities.
“My research and teaching in the field of anglophone global literature has been consistently transdisciplinary,” Hallemeier said. “The study of English often leads you in multiple — sometimes surprising — directions, from history and politics to data analysis and bioethics.”
Hallemeier said she anticipates taking a collaborative approach to her role as a research fellow.
“I look forward to working with faculty, students and staff across the humanities and CAS, including my fellow Faculty Fellows and the CAS Research leadership team,” Hallemeier said. “I’m hoping to contribute to the development of workshops and symposia that foster transdisciplinary connections across the university.
“I also aim to prioritize the development and promotion of resource guides that address funding opportunities and opportunities for research that includes community engagement within the humanities.”
Yolanda Vasquez
Vasquez has been a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry for 12 years and will be serving as the research fellow for the math and sciences pillar. Vasquez said she has participated in interdisciplinary opportunities over the years that have helped her forge relationships with faculty across the CAS disciplines.
“As a materials scientist, I often interact with chemists, biologists, engineers, and physicists to either evaluate materials’ properties or to help develop the applications of these materials,” Vasquez said. “Having experience communicating science with a diverse group of investigators and an understanding of how they think about certain problems will position me to help bring teams together to tackle problems that need a transdisciplinary solution.”
In this role, Vasquez said she hopes to enhance communications and reduce barriers to math and sciences statewide.
“One of my goals is to better connect Oklahomans with our scientists and mathematicians at OSU,” Vasquez said. “The expertise housed within mathematics and the sciences can collectively help solve larger research problems in our communities, but sometimes we can be siloed due to field-specific expectations about which scientific questions are considered worthy of our time. By connecting with our communities, we can get a better understanding of how we can make a difference and have an impact here in Oklahoma.” These new numbers bring the city’s total cases to 5,179 with 16 deaths and 4,697 recoveries.
On the state level, the health department reported 1,837 new cases, bringing the total confirmed positive cases to 356,816. The state also reported seven new COVID-19 related deaths, bringing the total to 2,994. There have been 314,236 total recoveries since COVID reached Oklahoma in March.

It is never confirmed, but Eric seems to be dealing with a mild panic disorder. Eric experiences several moments of paralyzing fear, but Sam and Frodo can snap him out of it.
The best part of the film is Sam and Eric’s unlikely friendship. The two survive multiple “Death Angel” encounters, and Sam opens up to Eric about her illness through a poem she wrote.
Poetry is an outlet for Sam’s emotions, and throughout the film, poetry acts as a storytelling tool, propelling the narrative and conveying Sam’s apathy towards her situation.
Eric’s understanding and receptiveness to her artistry later prompts Sam to reveal why she is obsessed with obtaining pizza.
After an encounter with a “Death Angel” in the flooded subway tunnels, the pair swim for their lives, almost drowning. They make it to a cathedral, and Eric leaves to find Sam’s medication.
When he returns, Sam confides she wants a slice of Patsy’s Pizza because her dad used to take her to get one after finishing up his gigs at a nearby jazz club. Sam knows she is going to die, but she wants to do it on her terms.
Her motivations only strengthen Eric’s resolve to help her. The trio makes it to Patsy’s but finds it destroyed. Not giving up hope, Eric takes Sam to the jazz club where her father played piano.
In a beautifully sweet scene, Eric tracks down some pizza and writes Patsy’s on the box. Sam and Frodo share a slice of stale pizza, and he makes her smile when he performs a magic trick with a nearby deck of cards.
The bar scene is the best in the film. Their world is falling apart, but Eric creates joy and gives Sam one last pleasant memory.
Finally at ease, Sam and Eric head for the docks. The horns from the evacuating boats draw in the creatures, and Eric begins to panic. Sam hands him Frodo and reassures him before using a crowbar to smash car windows and lead the monsters away.
Eric and Frodo both escape to the water, and with one last nod, Sam and Eric go their separate ways.
Eric finds a poem from Sam in his jacket pocket. The poem tells him to take care of Frodo and thanks him for making her feel alive for the first time in years.

“A Quiet Place: Day One” is an apocalypse movie, but its utilization of a smallscale, emotionally driven plot creates a well-focused story.
happiness and small joys through their friendship and situation. They rescued each other in more ways than one.
Frodo is the star of the show. The tuxedo kitty never makes a sound, survives everything, and helps Sam and Eric through the disaster. He is truly the hero of the film.
“A Quiet Place Part III” is in the works and is set to be a direct sequel to the 2021 film. Hopefully, the franchise can keep up its momentum and not fall prey to the too many sequels and remakes that other horror franchises are prone to.

The film ends as Sam gazes at a photo of her dad and her at Patsy’s. Sam then walks through the streets carrying a speaker hooked up to earbuds, listening to “I’m Feeling Good” by Anthony and Lesslie Bircusse. In a moment of pure euphoria, she removes the
Director Michael Sarnoski and producer John Krasinski can expand on the story and lore without overloading the audience.
The emotions run high in this film, but in the middle of the terror, Nyong’o and Quinn create moments of humbling
The “A Quiet Place” franchise takes home another win. The first film will always hold the top spot, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%, but the other installments hold their own. The slow expansion of the franchise and lore is working.

Chemistry’s Schnitzler awarded NSF grant for atmospheric aerosol research
OSU News Staff Reporter
Oklahoma State University assistant professor of chemistry Dr. Elijah Schnitzler recently received a National Science Foundation CAREER award for his project “Origin and Evolution of the Light Absorption of Biomass Burning Aerosol.”
Schnitzler’s work centers on atmospheric aerosols, or suspensions of tiny nanoparticles in the air. His research aims to increase understanding of how atmospheric aerosols affect air quality and climate, which are “two major public health concerns in the U.S. and around the world,” he said.
“Many of us have seen in pictures or experienced firsthand how these particles reduce visibility during extreme episodes of smog formation in large cities by absorbing or scattering sunlight,” Schnitzler said. “At lower concentrations, these particles may not be visible, but they still interact with solar and terrestrial radiation.
“Furthermore, many of us have experienced being surrounded by water droplets in a ground-level cloud on a foggy day. Every one of these larger droplets formed around an aerosol particle. It is through these interactions with radiation and clouds that atmospheric aerosols influence the radiative balance of Earth.”
Schnitzler explained that his team is specifically interested in nanoparticles produced from biomass burning, including regional wildfires. Those carbon-rich particles, which vary from organic carbon to elemental carbon, undergo complex evolutions that pose important questions for researchers like Schnitzler.
“The organic carbon can be emitted directly from the source as nanoparticles or form downwind from gaseous emissions, reacting with oxidants in that atmosphere throughout its roughly two-week residence time,” Schnitzler said. “The elemental carbon cannot undergo such sweeping chemical changes, but it can be coated with other materials that alter its interactions with radiation and clouds before it is removed from the atmosphere by settling or rainfall.”
Helping Schnitzler find answers in this biomassburning context are several undergraduate and graduate students. In fact, most of Schnitzler’s $742,236 NSF award will go toward student researchers, allowing them to
develop their technical skillsets and cognitive toolkits in the laboratory by using custom-built and commercial experimental apparatuses.
“The support for undergraduates allows several students each year to train and contribute in meaningful ways to exploratory work that can develop into projects for publication,” Schnitzler said, adding that funds are also allocated to lab materials, conference travel expenses and open-access publishing. “The support for graduate students will, vitally, allow one student per semester to work as a research assistant, rather than a teaching assistant, so they will be able to focus completely on research.”
Dr. Chris Fennell, head of the Department of Chemis-
try, noted that while funding is crucial, significant impact comes from having invested faculty.
“When you have fantastic instructors who really care about student learning, it’s gratifying to see these types of awards given to those individuals,” Fennell said. “What sets faculty apart who get NSF CAREER awards is their commitment to the next generation and excellence in education.
“[These faculty members] are doing creative, original research, but they are also truly committed to the education and training of students, teachers and the general population through extension activities. They are really interested in translating the impact of the science that they’re doing in unique ways.”
Schnitzler summarized his NSF CAREER award as another sign that he, his students and the chemistry department are doing significant work.
“The support is affirming for the students in the group, who worked hard the past several years to produce exciting results that helped validate the proposal, as well as for me personally as a scientist, mentor and educator,” Schnitzler said. “We are excited that the NSF Atmospheric Chemistry program sees OSU as a promising setting for research on atmospheric aerosols, today and in the future.”

3 schools the Big 12 Conference should add to remain competitive in baseball sports
Daniel Allen Staff Reporter
Conference realignment has pushed the boundaries in many facets of modern college athletics, which highlights the need for conferences to always be willing to add and strengthen at large.
The SEC is light years above any conference in college baseball prestige. With Tennessee clinching its first College World Series title in program history this year, the past five college baseball CWS champions have been SEC programs.
The Big 12 is losing Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC this year, both of which have been productive baseball programs throughout their history. Adding bluebloods such as Arizona State and Arizona helps, but more can be done to keep the Big 12 in a premier competitive state.
That said, here are three schools the Big 12 should add in the near future.
Oregon State As of 2025, the Oregon State Beavers will be college baseball independents. Which shouldn’t be the case. A college baseball blueblood should never be an independent. But thanks to the reality of conference realignment, which led to the dreaded downfall of the Pac 12, it will be.
Hear me out – as mentioned, the Beavers are a blueblood. Three College World Series titles, 28 conference championships and seven trips to Omaha is hard to overlook. Not to mention, Oregon State always recruits well. If the Big 12 wants to even hold a candle to the SEC in baseball, commissioner Brett Yormark should consider adding the Beavers sooner
rather than later. Plus, baseball wouldn’t be the only sport of benefit – football success has come at large in Corvallis, Oregon, as of late.
Memphis Weird recommendation. I get it. But the Tigers have had talented teams in the past. The state of Tennessee is infested with premier high school baseball talent. The SEC already has a grasp of Knoxville with Tennessee and Nashville with Vanderbilt. Why not claim stake to that surplus of talent with Memphis? Sure, the program having only five regional appearances all-time is discerning. However, to draw a parallel, Cincinnati has only seven. The
Bearcats were indisputably in the worst shape of any Big 12 newcomer after the 2023 season ended. But after the hiring of Central Michigan’s Jordan Bischel, the Bearcats were among the first teams left out of the 2024 college baseball Field of 64. Who’s to say the same turnaround can’t happen with the Tigers? Given the talent within the area, it’s possible.
Outside of baseball, the Tigers are a historic college basketball program. Football has been one of the more consistent programs nationally the past decade. The facilities are top-tier. Adding Memphis all but makes sense.

OSU fans in the moment likely won’t appreciate this recommendation given the horrors the Cowboys have had with DBU on the baseball diamond in recent years.
But the reality is, the Patriots have been one of the most consistent programs in college baseball under head coach Dan Heefner, who will enter his 16th season at the helm in 2025. Since 2014, DBU is one of only five programs to have made a regional appearance each of the past 10 years, the others being OSU, Florida, Vanderbilt and Louisiana State. Since 2021, DBU owns a 24-19 record against high-major opponents.
Not to mention, the program’s home confines, Horner Ballpark, is a hidden gem of college baseball and is far more luxurious than a handful of Big 12 ballparks – seriously, if you haven’t watched a ballgame there, it’s a must. Baseball is DBU’s only D-I sport, so the Patriots would be baseball affiliates, but the positives of such a move are glaring. The in-game presentation is among the best in the nation. The university truly cares about its baseball program and that matters. Not to mention, wrestling has its laundry list of Big 12 affiliates. Why can’t baseball?

OPEN YOUR HEART TO GOD!
“Open your heart and let him in. God will remove all your sorrow and sin. He may not pass this way again, so open your heart and let him come in.” These are words from an old hymn.
Many struggle so hard to take this step, not wanting to give up their independence; not wanting to humble themselves before God. In the Psalms, David said: “When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all the day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, ‘I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.’ And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.” (32:3-5 NLT)
It seems so simple, and it is! Yet, so many
struggle with honesty and humility. These qualities are of great importance with God. The truth is another has paid the penalty for your sins and mine. That is the good news! What we could not do (get rid of our sins), Jesus did by dying in our place. Therefore, “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven,whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.” (Ro.4:7-8 NIV)
Again, blaming friends or relatives will not help; getting religious does not help, thinking you are among the “better” people does no good. Trust what God has done for you through Christ. Get honest and humble yourself before God. Confess your sinfulness, and God will freely forgive. You will be free of guilt and stand innocent before God. Then you can begin a lasting and fruitful relationship with this great and loving God.

Oklahoma State lands 3-star athlete Foreman
Daniel Allen Staff Reporter
Oklahoma State just gained more momentum on the recruiting trail.
On Friday night, three-star 2025 athlete Kobi Foreman announced his commitment to OSU live on Dave Campbell Texas Football’s YouTube channel. Foreman was recruited by OSU head coach Mike Gundy and defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo as a defensive back, and he will likely play that position for the Cowboys once he arrives in Stillwater. However, he also serves as a star wide receiver for Berkner High School in Richardson, Texas.
Foreman chose the Cowboys over Arkansas, TCU, SMU, Houston, Memphis and others. He is currently rated as the No. 514 overall recruit in his class per 247Sports and becomes OSU’s 17th commit in the Cowboys’ class.
“The way they made me feel,” Foreman said on the live stream. “It felt like family, it felt like home. Outside of football, it’ll make me a better person and a better man.”
Here is a look at what Foreman’s pledge means for Gundy and Co. down the road.
What the Cowboys are getting in Foreman
A versatile prospect. Foreman has the makings of a premier defensive back at the college level; however, could also be a serviceable wide receiver for the Cowboys if Gundy chooses to develop him as a wideout.
But the likely and seemingly inevitable option is that Foreman plays cornerback for OSU. And that’s a good thing for the Cowboy defense.
Why? To put it simply – a lot of speed. Per the Dallas Morning News,
COPPER CREEK NOW
Foreman logged a 10.6 in the 100-meter dash. Such a metric not only shows his potential as a defensive back but also makes him a viable option as a kickoff returner for the Cowboys, potentially even as a freshman. His 5-foot-11 stature might be unorthodox for any premier defensive back. But his speed makes up for it.
As a junior at Berkner High School in 2023, Foreman recorded 32 tackles and six pass breakups on defense. Offensively, he caught five passes for 118 yards and one touchdown. What Foreman’s commitment means for OSU With Foreman’s pledge, OSU’s
2025 recruiting class ranking according to 247Sports sits at 25th nationallyt. As mentioned in past commitment staffers, OSU’s coaching staff is piecing together what could be the most talented recruiting class in the Gundy era. Foreman’s commitment on Friday night further cemented that.
Like four-star defensive line commit Michael Riles, Foreman has the potential to be an immediate-impact prospect for OSU on the defensive end, following the path of former first-year defensive standouts under Gundy such as edge rushers Collin Oliver and Trace Ford and most recently, cornerback Dylan Smith.
The Cowboys have a talented nucleus in their 2025 class with the pledges of three-star Dallas Lake Highlands safety Ayden Webb, threestar Waco Midway linebacker Donovan Jones, Riles, three-star Wichita (Kansas) Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic edge rusher Kyle Keya and others. The end of Oliver, linebacker Nick Martin, cornerback Korie Black and safety Kendal Daniels’ tenures at OSU isn’t far from ending. Thus, the pledges of the aforementioned bunch becomes all the more paramount as the Cowboys near a new area on the defensive end in the near future.
OSU added Kobi Foreman to its 2025 recruiting class Friday night.
