Senators, universities at odds regarding guns on campus Stetson Payne @Paynekiller211

In all 50 U.S. states, citizens have a right to bear arms. But those rights usually come to an end when stepping onto a college campus. In Oklahoma, a letter of consent from the president of a university is required to concealed carry on campus. Now, several state legislatures are attempting to change that rule for universities. Oklahoma is no exception. State Rep. John Enns (R-Enid) and Sen. Ralph Shortey (R-Oklahoma City) have authored bills in each house this session that would allow concealed carry on college campuses for students and faculty. “The numbers are out there, campuses are not safe places,” Enns said in a phone interview. “There wouldn’t be all these rapes and armed robberies with concealed carry. If campuses were safe, then we wouldn’t need law enforcement.” The issue is a major concern for higher education lobbyists this year, with

Oklahoma’s major universities being opposed to the bill. The OSU/A&M Board of Regents have spoken out against legislation since it first appeared last summer. OSU President Burns Hargis commented on the issue as well. “OSU remains strongly opposed to guns on campus,” Hargis said in a prepared statement. “The people who come to our campus every day — students, faculty and staff — have expressed their opposition as well. We believe guns on campus would create a tension that we don’t need. It’s fraught with risk.” University of Oklahoma President David L. Boren, a former governor and U.S. senator, had also been vocal about his opposition to the legislation. In a statement to the O’Colly, he stressed student safety. “I personally feel a strong sense of responsibility for the safety of our students,” Boren said. “Placing guns on campus, except in the hands of highly trained law enforcement officers and professionals, would be a serious mistake and only lead to tragic results.” At OU and OSU, polls have been conducted among

students and faculty that show a majority opposes allowing guns on campus. A poll by the OU Political Science department showed a nearly 70-percent majority. OSU’s Student Government Association is also opposed, having sent repeated recommendations to the administration against guns on campus. SGA Sen. Phillip Eby, representing the Off-Campus Student Association, authored the most recent recommendation. “I’m 100 percent against the idea of students carrying firearms on campus,” Eby said. “Guns have no place in a university environment, where learning is supposed to be the most important thing. All guns do in the hands of students on campus is bring in fear and disrupt the learning environment.” Several students also said they take issue with allowing other students to carry concealed weapons. Colin O’Leary, a psychology senior, said that guns on campus should be in the hands of only police officers. “I understand the argument for concealed carry for protection and stuff,” O’Leary said. “But I generally feel really safe on

Arkansas, Kansas and Wisconsin allow institutions to opt out of concealed carry on campus.

campus, and I’m not sure I would feel quite as safe if just anyone could have a gun, even if they are licensed appropriately. “I’d personally just feel more comfortable if guns were just restricted to campus police.” Kendall Glades, a business management sophomore, said students shouldn’t need guns at all. “I get concealed carry, but I don’t really see any point why anyone should need a gun on campus, except

possibly like a police officer,” Glades said. “There’s no need for it on campus.” OSU Chief of Police Michael Robinson has also been a staunch opponent of the measure. Although he considers himself a Second Amendment advocate, he said he doesn’t see the statistics or logic that points to these answers. “To make the argument that campus would be safer, if carry was allowed, it’s just absurd,” Robinson said. “No rational person that doesn’t

have an agenda to push can look at the data and say, ‘Yeah, this makes sense.’ “I’m not an anti-gun person at all. I’ve hunted all my life, my family hunts, I have a son and son-in-law that both have carry permits. I’m not anti-gun, but this just doesn’t make sense.” Enns argued that the frequency of sexual assaults on campuses necessitates allowing concealed carry, but Robinson vehemently disagreed. “The sexual assaults that

we have reported, that pan out, are without fail date rape-type situations,” Robinson said. “They’re not situations where a firearm would come into play anyways. They’re not some poor woman being accosted by a stranger and dragged off into the bushes and raped.” Of sexual assault cases on campus during Robinson’s almost 12-year tenure, he said he sees no exception to that rule. “I can’t think of a single case where a firearm would have made a difference if a female had had one,” Robinson said. Active shooter situations are among the most dangerous on campuses for multiple reasons. Although much less likely than an accidental shooting or suicide, the risk remains, and campus police

departments rehearse for such a scenario. With concealed carry, the shooting capability of a permit holder comes into question, along with the problem that responding police officers have to be able to discern between shooters. “Even police officers sometime have trouble hitting what they’re shooting at in stressful situations,” Robinson said. “The other problem is police getting there, you get a call for a shooter, and you get there, and five people have guns. You don’t know who the bad guy is and who the good guys are.” Robinson also spoke about the darker problem with guns on campus. Suicide is a major problem among college-aged individuals. “College students have a

lot of stress,” Robinson said. “The majority of them are away from home for the first time, going through a lot of relationship problems they left in their hometown.” When asked about the risk posed by suicides, Enns said he was not concerned about any rise in student suicides. “(Suicides are) not going to matter either way,” Enns said. “There’s nothing that’s going to stop suicides.” The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention cites suicide as the third-leading cause of death among 15to 25-year-olds. And of all suicides, 51 percent are committed with a firearm. The Uniform Crime Report published annually by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation details the crime rates by department

SPREADING WINGS: Veterinary Hospital to get new edition Nuria Martinez-Keel @OColly

STETSON PAYNE/O’COLLY

Chance Imhoff, the President’s External Chief of Staff, reacts to the justice’s ruling Thursday night denying the appeal of the presidential candidate for the upcoming SGA presidential election being unopposed.

Potential candidates appeal denied, SGA presidential election to be unopposed Stetson Payne @Paynekiller211

In an emergency meeting early Friday morning, Student Government Association’s Supreme Court denied the appeal of presidential candidate pair Chance Imhoff and Jacquelyn Lane in a 3-2 decision, making the upcoming SGA presidential election unopposed. The pair was seeking to reverse the Election Agency decision to declare them ineligible for the election after missing the filing deadline. Imhoff ’s appeal relied

on Senate Bill 11, which was passed Jan. 28. The original filing deadline for the presidential election was Jan. 26, by which time no candidate pair had filed. At the Jan. 28 senate meeting, Senate Bill 11 was passed unanimously, which moved the election back one week due to a scheduling conflict with Big 12 on the Hill, a major lobbying event in Washington D.C. that SGA would send a delegation to. In SGA’s constitution, Title IX Section 3 states that the filing deadline will be five weeks prior to the day of the election at 5 p.m.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2015

Imhoff attempted to argue that because Senate Bill 11 was not signed until Feb. 2 by President Matthew Chuning, the filing date had passed with no candidates on the ballot. He also challenged that the SGA Attorney General Nick Westhoff had violated the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act by not making everyone in SGA aware of his opinion on the filing date. The ultimate plea by the plaintiffs was to declare all current 2015 filings void and open a 48-hour filing window from 8 a.m. Monday to 8 a.m. Wednesday. For the full story, visit ocolly.com/news

The Boren Veterinary Medical Hospital at Oklahoma State University is getting a needed upgrade. The Center for Veterinary Health Sciences is building a new wing onto the northwest corner of the hospital. The construction is underway and is expected to be finished in June. The total cost of the construction is $7.2 million, said Gary Shutt, director of OSU Communications. The new wing will be used for department and faculty offices, which currently are located in the hospital basement, Reed Holyoak, head of Veterinary Clinical Sciences Department, said. Forty new offices are being built. Holyoak said the new addition has been overdue for years. “We’ve been in this cubicle setting for decades, and the problem with that is that we as clinicians need to communicate with our clients,” Holyoak said. “It’s very difficult to have privacy in this environment.” A conversation in one cubicle can be heard in the others, which makes it hard to protect clients’ privacy. It also distracts other faculty members who are doing work. Holyoak said that the department recruits some

of the best veterinary doctors, and it has been difficult to have lacking facilities for faculty of such expertise. Jean Sander, Dean of Veterinary Medicine, spearheaded the project to build the new office wing. Holyoak said OSU President Burns Hargis visited the faculty offices and agreed to improve the facility for the hospital’s doctors. Hargis dedicated $5 million from a university general revenue bond to add on to the hospital, Shutt said. The Center for Veterinary Health Sciences will pay the remaining amount. Originally, the department hoped to build an auditorium for teaching, as well. But so far, there has only been enough money for the offices.

“As soon as someone finds a few million dollars, we’ll have a new auditorium,” Holyoak said. Should a donor decide to provide funds, the auditorium and the office wing could be named in his or her honor. Not only will the new wing improve the hospital, but it also could benefit the Stillwater community, Holyoak said. “A majority of the people, even in Stillwater, do not realize that we’re open to the public,” Holyoak said. “Our faculty are here to conduct high quality veterinary medicine as well as to teach, and so if the structure of the building adds to the appearance of the hospital and it helps us bring in more patients, then that’s a good thing.” news@ocolly.com PAGE 4

Case continued for woman charged in homicide, arson Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k

A Stillwater woman appeared in court Friday after being charged with two counts of accessory to a felony Monday in connection with a homicide and arson that occurred Jan. 29. Rachael Marie Willis, 37, appeared without counsel and was appointed an attorney. Willis’ case was continued until March 2 at 9 a.m. Willis was charged with accessory to murder in the first degree as well as accessory to arson in the first Willis degree on Feb. 9, according to Oklahoma State Courts Network. Willis was arrested Jan. 29 for outstanding warrants and is being held in the Payne County Jail on $250,000 bond. Willis and her husband, Ralph, became persons of interest after a body was discovered in an apartment fire at 115 W. Scott St. Jan. 29. The incident is being investigated as a homicide and police have identified William C. Marg, 64, as the victim of the crime. Police believe Willis

aided Ralph the morning of the fire by gathering the couple’s items and fleeing the scene to avoid arrest and prosecution “with the knowledge that William Marg died at the hands of Ralph Willis,” according to the affidavit. Willis also reportedly “willingly and maliciously” assisted Ralph by removing personal items with the knowledge that a fire would be set, the affidavit states. On Jan. 29, after investigators discovered the couple’s criminal background, Stillwater Police began searching for them. SPD spotted Willis and his wife entering WalMart on Perkins Road. Officers approached the two about 20 minutes later, and the couple ran south. Officers pursued the couple on foot, quickly caught up with Rachel, who was

arrested for outstanding warrants, and followed Willis to 604 E. Maple Ave., where neighbors said he jumped the fence behind the house and was shot and killed by a police officer. Willis was shot one time in the chest, according to a press release from SPD. The name of the officer who fired has not yet been released. SPD continues to investigate the homicide. Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is examining the officer-involved shooting. If Willis is convicted, she could face a maximum of 62 1/2 years in prison and be fined a maximum of $12,500.

Plans in motion for new Wesley Foundation building Alex Newton @OColly

At the time of its construction, the Wesley Foundation building was considered state of the art, yet the building has visibly aged, and change is something that has been looked at for quite some time. Built in 1956, the Wesley Foundation has been a staple on the Oklahoma State University campus for many years. The foundation’s mission has been to create followers and leaders in a community of faith, shap-

ing both their lives and others around them. “We know that the condition of our facilities are keeping many students from being a part of our ministry,” said Michele Crater, a marketing intern for the Wesley Foundation. “Our executive director, Rev. Michael Bartley, sat down with our board of directors five years ago to discuss what we could do to be a place that students are drawn toward. It came down to building a new facility.” The new building will be no small feat. It is projected to cost near $6 million, with $2

million already raised, according to a press release from the Wesley Foundation. The project is being funded by the Wesley Foundation Board of Directors and the United Methodist Foundation, along with help from individual donors. “(The new building will have) shop, study spaces that will showcase student artwork, a worship space and a recreation area, including an area for sports equipment rentals and a climbing wall,” Crater said. Construction will take place at its location at University and Washing-

OSU students and professors march to make a change Montinique Monroe @iAmMontinique

They marched in silence. They stood tall. No words were spoken, you could barely hear any breathing. There were onlookers, some who avoided the marchers and others who stopped to take pictures. They did not speak; their signs spoke for them. It was a solemn yet empowering moment. It was an outcry to all of Oklahoma State University, a call to end Islamophobia. Islamophopia is nothing new, but the recent deaths of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, sparked an opportunity to openly discuss the fear of Muslim people at OSU. Friday morning, students and

professors came together in silence to honor the lives of Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha, three Muslim students who were shot and killed near University of North Carolina. The silent march began at Agriculture Hall. The group marched down South Monroe Street, eventually marching past the Chi-O Clock and ending in front of Edmon Low Library. It was a mixed group, some who identified as Muslim and some who didn’t. Vibrant hijabs covered the heads of the Muslim women, representing their religious practice. They were proud. They held signs that read “Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does,” and “Whoever kills a life unjustly is as if he killed all of mankind,”

Collica goes ‘beast mode’ in Penn State win Dekota Gregory @dekotagregory

Penn State’s Zack Beitz pinned Oklahoma State standout Josh Kindig in the second period, and the lively Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd fell quiet. The fall gave Penn State a 12-6 lead thanks to two early falls. Just a match later, Anthony Collica took the stage to upset Dylan Alton, and by the sound of the crowd, it was as if Kindig’s loss never occurred. Collica’s 24-9 technical fall over Alton, who is ranked No. 8 according to InterMat.com, put Oklaho-

ma State within one point in the dual and gave the Cowboys all the momentum they would need to make a comeback. “It fired up the bench pretty intensely,” Eddie

Klimara said. “We started saying (Collica) was going ‘beast mode,’ so it was pretty exciting to see that.” Collica came out slow, trailing 2-1 after the first period, but the sophomore

erupted in the second period. In a quick turn of events, Collica escaped and scored a takedown to take the lead. Shortly after the takedown, Collica tallied three more nearfall points

and controlled the rest of the match. “I was just like, ‘I gotta do a bigger job than I’m supposed to do,’ and I just went out there and wrestled tough,” Collica said. The Collica victory paved the way for an Alex Dieringer major decision over Garrett Hammond, which gave Oklahoma State a 15-12 lead and would ultimately set up a storybook ending for the Cowboys. Austin Marsden was the deciding factor in the dual, but not without the help of Collica’s win. “That match got me really excited, that really got me excited to compete,” Marsden said. “It got me just jacked up to go upstairs.

I had to go upstairs right away and start my warm up because I knew that match got me motivated to win too for this crowd and this school, especially against Penn State.” For the full story, visit ocolly.com/sports

MY SOUL FOLLOWS HARD AFTER YOU! “My soul followeth hard after thee.” (Ps.63:8 KJV) “My soul clings to you.” (NIV) Here is a man, David, who is wholeheartedly following God. Little wonder he is called a man after God’s own heart. As we read Psalm 63 it is hard to miss the commitment and desire he has for the Lord. “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you.” (V1) God was a personal God to David. “You are my God”, he says. It brought on a fresh challenge and response. “I will seek you earnestly.” Following the Lord and learning of him became a top priority in David’s life. “I have seen you in the sanctuary.” God was real to David.

I was very self-conscience. It was a challenge, but now has become a part of an act of worship. He is worthy! This is not just a religious exercise that we turn off and on every Sunday or holy day. “On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.” (v6) Have you ever sang to God on your bed, while you are shaving, when doing the dishes or cutting the lawn? He is our God, our companion and helper. Let’s follow hard after him.

Notebook: Big win for the Cowgirls in the game to give the Cowgirls a double-digit advantage.

Chandler Vessels @chandlervessels

JOHNSON SHINES For the past couple of weeks, the Roshunda Johnson on the court has not been one fans have been accustomed to seeing. She has been flu-ridden, and it has made her lethargic. But against Iowa State, Johnson showed the energy that had been hiding. She led the Cowgirls with 15 points, went 3-of-5 from deep and didn’t commit a single turnover. “I think she’s feeling better,” Littell said. “We need Ro to play well on both ends of the floor. I thought this was one of her better games in a long time. I’m really proud of what she did defensively tonight.” Johnson is a major piece of this team. The Cowgirls will need this type of play to be consistent of her if they expect to make a run into the postseason.

Coming into the game, the Cowgirls knew how important it was to win. A victory was the difference between third and last place in the conference. Luckily for them, they succeeded, earning a 60-48 victory over Iowa State on Saturday. This win marks the third straight for the Cowgirls, and they have won four of their last five. It puts them at third place in the Big 12 standings. After a rough patch in which OSU lost four straight, this is a major turnaround. “I think our basketball team is continuing to grow a little bit each time out,” coach Jim Littell said. “We’re building, having a little bit of momentum. The kids are fighting, and they’ve been very coachable lately and buying in to what we’re wanting to do.” BALANCED SCORING It’s hard to beat a team with multiple options, and the Cowgirls had a plethora Saturday evening. Seven players logged major minutes, and each one of them scored. “It’s a very versatile team,” Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said. “They have interchangeable parts. Big kids that can go in and out.

“Diana hasn’t played much this year,” Littell explained. “Her attitude has remained very good. Her work ethic has remained very good, and that’s hard for kids that are accustomed to playing all the time coming from high school. It says a lot about Di’s character and ability

to stick with something. She showed a lot of passion on the floor, hit some big shots and also did a good job guarding Nikki Moody.” In the second half, it was Martin, who scored nine of her 11 points in the half and finished with a double-double.

GIA backs Cowboys in upset of Penn State Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim

Neither coach John Smith nor members of the Oklahoma State wrestling team were the true winners of Sunday’s dual. Instead, it was Gallagher-Iba Arena, which saw a raised stage, a premiere dual and one of the larger crowds in recent years. Before the Cowboys’ 21-18 upset of No. 5 Penn State, the average attendance of OSU’s home wrestling duals was less than 3,000, and some duals brought far less fan interest than that. It’s a large step in the wrong direction for

the nation’s most successful collegiate wrestling program. Sunday saw a return to GIA’s historic wrestling past, as 4,691 fans, mostly clad in orange, created an atmosphere worthy of the top-10 matchup. “I thought it was good,” Smith said. “I thought it was exciting. I appreciated the people who came out. I liked the stage. I thought that created a good environment for us, and we was able to deliver. “It’s been two years since we’ve really won a big dual meet.
