September 20,

Texas state Rep. Rhetta Bowers changes course, launches bid to replace US Rep. Colin Allred

gress.

DALLAS — Texas

state Rep. Rhetta Andrews Bowers on Tuesday launched a campaign to replace Democrat Colin Allred in Congress.

Bowers, D-Rowlett, had announced she was running for reelection to the state House instead of Congress. She reversed course Tuesday and joined the crowded field for North Texas’ Congressional District 32. As of last week, Bowers was still raising money for her Texas House campaign through email solicitations.

She’s now part of a Democratic primary field that includes fellow state Rep. Julie Johnson of Farmers Branch, trauma surgeon Brian Williams of Dallas, Dallas lawyer Justin Moore and many others.

Allred, who has represented the northern and eastern Dallas Countyanchored district since 2019, is running for Senate to unseat Republican Ted Cruz.

“I’ve dedicated my life to serving others and improving people’s lives,” Bowers said in a news release. “Now more than ever, we need leadership in Washington focused on getting things done for people.”

Bowers said the fundamental rights of Americans are under attack.

“With our democracy and fundamental rights under attack, I am running for Congress to protect those rights and stand up for equal opportunities for all, so that every Texas family, small business, and community can thrive,” she said.

Johnson, now Bowers’ rival for the District 32 seat, questioned why Bowers changed her mind about running for Con-

“It’s curious that Rep. Bowers has flipflopped on her previous statement about running to Texas voters,” Johnson said in a statement, adding that Bowers “had only $81 left in campaign funds, much of it spent on personal expenses.”

“This race will require significant resources to make sure Democrats win up and down the ballot,” Johnson continued. “I am still the candidate with the best ability to raise and deploy the necessary funds to ensure Democrats hold this seat.”

In response to Bowers’ entry into the race, Williams said his unique experience made him the best choice.

“As a trauma surgeon, veteran and gun safety advocate, I got into this race back in May because I have the frontline experience to take on the major challenges facing our community,” he said. “I have had to tell too many families that they’d lost their loved ones to gun violence, I’ve cared for women suffering from reproductive emergencies, and I’ve seen how our broken healthcare system is hurting patients.”

The Dallas Morning News has reached out to Bowers for comment.

In a video announcing her congressional campaign, Bowers highlighted her participation in the 2021 quorum break by Texas House Democrats to stall a Republican bill that made sweeping changes to the state’s election laws.

“When Texas Republicans decided to gut voting rights, my colleagues and I went to Washington to deny them a quorum and fight for federal voting rights legislation,” she said, adding that she stayed away from the Capitol for the entire quorum break.

Just how historically bad was OSU’s loss to South Alabama? You have to go back to the ‘90s

Staff Reporter

Kendal Daniels and Lyrik Rawls got confused on a South Alabama wide receiver running in motion.

The two OSU defenders bit on the fake jet sweep, or a fake run to the right, and got caught too far inside. That’s when Jaguars running back La’Damian Webb busted through the broken coverage and scored a 65-yard touchdown to put the Cowboys away in a historic upset at Boone

Pickens Stadium. The Cowboys lost 33-7 to South Alabama, a Sun Belt team which is no pushover, the Jaguars won 10 games last season, but that’s not the point. The point is that was the biggest nonconference home loss for OSU since 1991.

‘A Haunting in Venice’ is twisty and tedious

A good murder mystery film is a lot like making a cake.

If it turns out right, the final product will be a complete success and seem as simple as can be. But if you make a single mistake in the recipe, it will become immediately noticeable that you did something wrong.

It’s safe to say that “A Haunting in Venice” didn’t get the recipe down.

The recipe for making a good murder mystery is far more complicated than one may realize. A solid cast of characters, an engaging mystery and plenty of believable clues that can be interpreted in many different ways are just a few of the ingredients to making a compelling film.

In hindsight, there’s a reason that there are such few great films in the genre. “A Haunting in Venice” isn’t necessarily a bad film, but it does a lot

Iowa State brings familiarity, tough defense to matchup against OSU

The Cyclones, sitting at 1-2 following a 10-7 loss to Ohio University (the Bobcats, not the Buckeyes) last week, are seeking to turn the tide of their season against the Cowboys.

Despite OSU coach Mike Gundy being unfamiliar with a three-quarterback system, losing to non-Power Five opponents and hearing boos from fans in Boone Pickens Stadium, he’s familiar with something he’ll see this upcoming Saturday.

The Iowa State Cyclones.

Like OSU, Iowa State has had its offensive struggles. It currently sits at 127th in total offense (270.3 yards per game). The defense, though, is keeping the team afloat, ranking top 10 in the country in total defense (253.7 yards per game).

The Cyclones’ schematics are familiar, too, since they also run a

three-man front, something OSU has adopted under new defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo. It’s not the same, but it’s close enough to give both offenses a well-grounded idea of the opposing defense based on the scheme they practice against.

“We’re not identical in what we do, but there are similarities,” Gundy said. “They’ll be more similarities in this game than the times we’ve ever played against Coach (Matt) Campbell.”

A low-scoring, defensive-first game on a rainy day in Ames seems

inevitable. With both offenses sputtering so far this season and both defenses having to carry the majority of the workload, it may look more like the Big Ten than the Big 12.

But at least for the Cowboys, it’s still Iowa State. It’s still Matt Campbell. It’s still Jack Trice Stadium. They know what they’re getting into.

“They are what (I have) known for years,” Gundy said.

BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 3

Tessa Dorrell Staff Reporter

6 K ANSAS STATE

Kansas State couldn’t keep up with Missouri, falling 30-27 to the former Big 12 foe. The game came down to 61-yard field goal, which set the SEC record.

KSU (2-1) beat itself in most situations. The Wildcats had seven penalties for 65 yards and had many dropped passes. The loss dropped KSU from No. 15 in the AP poll to unranked.

7 UCF

Week 3 wasn’t great for the Big 12. The O’Colly is releasing its Big 12 power rankings each week, and here’s where everyone stacks up after Week 3.

1 TEXAS

(AP NO. 3)

The 3-0 Longhorns hold onto the lead spot. Texas beat Wyoming 31-10 in Austin on Saturday, but the game was much closer than the score shows. Wyoming led 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, and the Longhorns’ sluggish start meant big plays were necessary to secure a win.

The No. 3 Longhorns are 3-0 for the first time since 2012, and their star-studded roster makes them the team to beat going into conference play.

2 Oklahoma

(AP NO. 16)

The Sooners steamrolled Tulsa 6617 on the road Saturday, improving to 3-0. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw for 421 yards and five touchdowns and was 28-of31 with one interception. Three of Gabriel’s receivers ended the game with more than 100 yards.

The Sooners offense has the power to put up points against any team, but the Sooners’ only hope of moving up in the power rankings comes with a Red River Rivalry win in Week 6.

3 Kasnas

Kansas is 3-0 after knocking down Nevada 31-24 in Reno on Saturday. Devin Neal and Daniel Hinshaw Jr. combined for 137 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Jalon Daniels threw for 298 yards and went 21-of-27 passing.

The Jayhawks did not have the toughest nonconference schedule, but their offensive power will make waves in the Big 12.

BYU

The Cougars conquered the Razorbacks in Fayetteville on Saturday, 38-31, and they sit 3-0 on the season. Kedon Slovis threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns, including a pass to Chase Roberts, who snagged the ball for a game-winning, one-handed catch with eight minutes left.

The Cougars were fortunate with some penalties against Arkansas, but that does not mean the BYU won’t do damage in the Big 12.

5 TCU

8

The Knights are 3-0 after beating Villanova 48-14 in Orlando on Saturday. UCF lost starting quarterback John Rhys Plumlee late in Week 2 against Boise State, but sophomore quarterback Timmy McClain stepped in to tally 321 passing yards and two touchdowns.

This was McClain’s first start since 2021 when he played for South Florida.

West Virginia

West Virginia pieced together a “Backyard Brawl” win against Pittsburgh, 17-6 in Morgantown on Saturday.

Both teams struggle to score in the 106th edition of the series. WVU held the Panthers to their fewest points in the series since 1996 and 73 yards of offense in the second half. The Mountaineers (2-1) scored 10 points off interceptions.

9

Cincinnati

The Bearcats are no longer undefeated after a 31-24 overtime loss to Miami (OH). Cincinnati had beaten Miami 16 consecutive times. The loss to the RedHawks leaves questions, as the Bearcats begin conference play against No. 16 Oklahoma at home Saturday.

10 Houston

TCU trampled the Cougars (1-2) in their Big 12 debut, 36-13 on Saturday in Houston. Houston’s only touchdown came late in the first half off a 98-yard kick return. Houston has hopes of a bright future in the Big 12, but this season’s success level is still up in the air.

11 Oklahoma State

It was a sad Saturday for many in Stillwater, thanks to South Alabama. The 2-1 Cowboys fell 33-7 against the Jaguars, who picked up their second-ever win against a Power Five team. This is the first nonconference loss for the Cowboys since 2016 against Central Michigan.

12 Texas Tech

It was redemption day for the Red Raiders on Saturday. Texas Tech beat Tarleton State 41-3 at home. The mismatch was a relief for the Red Raiders (1-2) after a double-OT loss to Wyoming and a loss at home to Oregon. Texas Tech kicks off conference play against West Virginia, which is a great opportunity to see if the first two losses were due to playing good teams or if Tech really does deserve to stay toward the bottom.

13 Iowa State

The Cyclones became Ohio’s first win against a Power Five team since 2017. Iowa State lost 10-7 to Ohio on Saturday and the Cyclones are 1-2.

The Cyclones had several players, including QB Rocco Becht, who got food poisoning the night before. Then, an ISU missed field goal caused controversy in the three-point loss.

14 Baylor

Baylor’s six-game losing streak is snapped but the future still doesn’t look successful. The Bears beat Long Island 30-7 in Waco on Saturday, improving to 1-2.

It was not a pretty game. Baylor had 391 yards of offense and was 13-of-27 passing. A two-hour weather delay didn’t help sloppy game play, but there’s no reason for the Bears to move up the power rankings.

TCU crushed the Cougars, 36-13, at Houston in the Big 12’s first conference game, improving TCU to 2-1. The Horned Frogs are proving they deserve to rise in the rankings with back-to-back wins after opening the season with a loss to “Coach Prime” and the Colorado Buffaloes.

That CU game may end up being one of the toughest Big 12 nonconference games other than Alabama. The Horned Frogs may prove to be a lower-tier team later in conference play, but until then, they get to sit in the fifth spot.

OSU’s loss...

OSU nonconference home losses since 1991

2023: South Alabama (33-7)

In 1991, the Pat Jones-led Cowboys lost to two nonconference teams at home. OSU lost to TCU by three points, but the game before, the Cowboys lost by 27 points – one more point than the differential on Saturday. Arizona State walked into Lewis Field and trounced the Cowboys 30-3. The 1991 Cowboys went 0-10-1, tying Iowa State in late October. There have been a few nonconference home losses between the blowout against Arizona State in 1991 to Saturday’s game, but none come close to the 27-point loss.

Bowers’ video also featured her terse exchange with an National Rifle Association official during a Texas House committee hearing on the 2022 Uvalde massacre that killed 19 students and two teachers.

“I was able to silence the NRA in Texas, even if just for a moment,” she said. “I’m going to keep standing up for you and the progressive change we need.”

On Tuesday Bowers announced endorsements from former U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Dallas, and eight current or former Democratic Party colleagues in the Texas House. news.ed@ocolly.com

Difficult dialogues lecture discussed diversity, equity, inclusion

Bella Casey News and Lifestyle Assistant Editor

Diversity is home at OSU. On Friday, over 100 students and faculty gathered in the Student Union Theatre for a lecture on diversity, equity and inclusion.

Dr. Kimberly Burdine, a licensed psychologist, led the presentation and

discussion. For Burdine, leading the discussion represented the topics she covered.

“I couldn’t do this without folks who have advocated across centuries and beyond to make this possible,” Burdine said. “I come from working class backgrounds. I’m a first generation college graduate.”

Burdine discussed how others can create an environment that celebrates differences. At the end of the presenta-

tion, multiple attendees shared moments they felt excluded.

A transgender woman shared how her coworkers alienated her, and how she rose above it.

A female philosophy professor shared she felt her opinions were trampled by men when she was in college and questioned how this situation can be prevented.

A man questioned the relationship between free speech and inclusion.

Andy Lester, Chair of the Oklahoma Free Speech Committee, aided Burdine in facilitating the discussion and answering questions.

Lester advocated for a relationship between free speech and inclusion. “I think we should be civil,” Lester said. “That’s what institutions of higher education do and foster and should foster civility and freedom of expression.”

‘Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake’ brings back beloved characters

Isaac Terry Staff Reporter Review

The new series, “Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake,” brings the cast of “Adventure Time” back, with time-altering consequences.

After altering the timelines while trying to bring back his long-lost love Betty, Simon Petrikov accidentally pulls Fionna and Cake, two imaginary characters from a book he once wrote, from their reality into his.

Together, they need to find a way to retrieve them while bringing magic back into both of their realities, all while they are being chased by an inter-dimensional time officer hot on their trail.

The series itself begins with a pastel-colored dream by the lead heroine, Fionna Campbell, a gender-bent version of Finn from the original “Adventure Time,” and Cake the cat, a gender and species-bent version of Jake the dog.

Most of the characters in the original Fionna and Cake universe are gender-bent and humanized versions of the original story’s characters.

Characters such as Marceline the Vampire Queen turn into Marshal Lee, a mean guitarist once again voiced by musician Donald Glover.

The scene set for Fionna and Cake is much different than the original’s vibrant Land of Ooo, with Fionna being a tour bus guide in a crowded city with any magic noticeably absent.

Many familiar faces and voices are back, with Fionna and Cake themselves making sparce appearances in the original series. Tom Kenny returns as Simon Petrikov, who now serves as an even more important character than before.

Fans also got to hear more music from the talented

Rebecca Sugar, who worked on both the original “Adventure Time” and her own show, “Steven Universe,” among many others. Her song “Part of the Madness” kicks off some major plot points already in episode 2. The series doesn’t forget its original audience, either. The tone and jokes have been

updated to reflect the now more young-adult audience that originally watched “Adventure Time.” Now, Cake can be caught telling Fionna to “Puck him up, girl,” or Fionna flashing her two middle fingers on her right hand at her boss after she gets fired. The series also shows

slightly more graphic depictions of blood and battles than previous iterations of “Adventure Time.”

Most recent reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with fans loving the mix of updated humor, familiar characters and their own love for the old series. As of Sep. 17, the show

has a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

According to IMDB, the first season is planned to have a total of 10 half-an-hour episodes, six of which have already been released.

“Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake” is on the streaming service Max.

Haunting...

However, “A Haunting in Venice” doesn’t have anything scary enough to warrant its uneasy atmosphere. To compensate for this, there are dozens of needless jump scares. Not of anything threatening, but of birds, clocks and objects falling.

The only thing worse than a stu-

pid jump scare of the villain is a stupid fake-out jump scare. Run that back for two hours, and you have all that “A Haunting in Venice” has to offer in terms of thrills.

The film simply feels like the director wanted to make a scary movie, but didn’t have a scary script, so he threw in as many fake outs and strange editing choices as possible.

It’s hard to elaborate on what I mean by “strange editing choices.” Something just feels wrong about the movie and not in a good way.

The camerawork utilizes a lot

of Dutch angles, a shot in which the camera is tilted slightly to imply shock or discomfort. “A Haunting in Venice” might as well have been filmed in the Netherlands because half of the angles are Dutch.

Characters don’t really act like people; events play out in very confusing ways. Characters randomly break out into brawls with no real payoff to it. There’s a subplot about dead children that goes nowhere. The solution to the mystery is so simple that it’s hard to feel like this needed to be a two hour film. Kenneth

Branagh’s faux French accent is really bad, which adds an extra layer of surreal discomfort.

Despite all of this, “A Haunting in Venice” isn’t necessarily bad. It’s perfectly watchable and has some fun twists, but it sure is odd.

With strange plot choices, uninteresting characters and a setting that has to be forced into being scary, “A Haunting in Venice” does not deserve to be called haunting. Perhaps “A Really Weird Film in Venice” would be more fitting.

“A Haunting in Venice” is a continuation of director Kenneth Branagh’s previous films “Death on the Nile” and “Murder on The Orient Express.”
