UPDATE: Stillwater man killed after attempting to help abused woman, affidavit states Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k

A local man was killed after a neighbor came to him looking for a way out of an abusive relationship, according to an affidavit released by Payne County Feb. 24.

William C. Marg, 64, was found dead with multiple stab wounds in his apartment after firefighters responded to a structure fire at 115 W. Scott St. the morning of Jan. 29, the affidavit states.

Firemen discovered the “partially clothed bloody male” lying on the floor of the apartment, the affidavit states. Officers noticed blood WILLIS smears on the refrigerator door and a doorjamb, the document states.

The upstairs tenant, Rachel Willis, 37, reached out to Marg two days before he was found dead,

according to the affidavit.

Rachel told investigators she confided in Marg after an altercation with her husband, Ralph, on Jan. 27. Rachel told Marg that she was "tired of being abused by Ralph,” according to the affidavit.

Rachel said Marg called a preacher who then showed up at Marg’s home and picked her up, the affidavit states.

During the drive, Rachel “decided she did not want to leave Ralph” and asked to be taken home, according to the document.

While she was gone, Ralph got into an altercation with Marg and told Rachel that he had killed Marg, the affidavit states.

Rachel told investigators Ralph talked about ways to dispose of Marg’s body and mentioned dumping the body, the document states.

The morning of the incident, the couple was seen carrying three duffle bags, which they placed into a shopping cart and pushed

to a friend’s home, according to the document.

Officers recovered the luggage and found a Coleman camping fuel can containing a small amount of fuel and an empty lighter fluid bottle among clothes, towels and family pictures in picture frames, the document states.

Investigators determined that two fires were intentionally set in the Willis’ kitchen, according to the document.

Next-door neighbor and Oklahoma State health prevention sophomore Carson Tate described Marg as friendly.

“He was real nice, a really nice guy,” he said.

“He always offered us food (from his garden). It was really sad to find out what happened.”

After Stillwater police determined both individuals had warrants out for their arrests Jan. 29, SPD spotted the couple

entering WalMart on Perkins Road. Rachel was arrested, but Ralph was shot and killed by SPD officer Cody Manuel after a foot pursuit, according to the release from the DA’s office.

Rachel Willis has been charged by Payne County Court with accessory to murder in the first degree as well as accessory to arson in the first degree.

Willis is being held in the Payne County Jail on

JACKIE’S 6-PACK: Best hot drinks Jackie Dobson @OColly

Hot Toddy

This is by far my favorite hot drink. It’s simple, and I strongly believe it can cure any sickness. Hot Toddys are made of whiskey, lemon juice, sugar and boiling water; I use honey instead of sugar. This is easy to make in large batches and everyone will love it.

Peppermint Hot Cocoa This is a standby at my house. This recipe calls for your favorite hot chocolate, peppermint vodka, a candy cane and some whipped cream. Make the hot chocolate as directed and add the rest. Welcome back to the best parts about childhood.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2015

This weekend is not supposed to be pleasant, so why even go outside? The best snowy days are the ones spent under a blanket enjoying good company. Adding some delicious drinks to the mix might make for an even better day. These drinks will do some work to keep you warm and let you have a little more entertainment while watching movies and playing games with your friends.

Irish Coffee

Coffee, cream, sugar, whiskey. I wish I could ask for all that at Aspen. Anyway, if you need a little caffeine boost and some whiskey for the extra warmth, this is the drink for you. It calls for Irish Whiskey but I’m not picky, just make sure you choose something smooth.

Mulled Wine

This calls for red wine, bourbon, nutmeg, cloves, a lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. You put everything but the cinnamon sticks in a pot and cook till warm.

Once warm, serve and add the stick. It’s delicious, just not as simple as adding a little something to your regular drink.

O’COLLY WEEKEND

Hot Cider and Fireball

Another simple, yet tasty drink. Use your favorite cider, whether that is from a baggy or your family’s famous crockpot cider. Now serve in individual mugs and add a shot of fireball to each. The cinnamon goes really well with the cider.

Irish Tea

This is my take on Irish Coffee. I’m much more of a tea drinker. Same simple ingredients, this can work with any tea, but I find it works best with Earl Grey and English Breakfast. Make a whole pot of it and share it with your friends too.

Potential ban on AP classes would cost students Financial Benefits of AP Courses

Catherine Sweeney @CathJSweeney

$2,000

$2,000 The Oklahoma legislature’s proposal to ban Advanced Placement U.S. History courses, which has garnered criticism nationwide, would cost many Oklahoma State students hundreds of dollars.

And one legislator’s desire to ban all AP classes would cost students thousands.

Advanced Placement classes let high schools teach university-level material. College Board, a nonprofit corporation, designs a curriculum for the course, then offers a standardized test to students at the end of it. Universities grant credit in the corresponding class for passing scores.

House Bill 1380 aims to bar state funds for the U.S. History course.

Rep. Dan Fisher, RCanadian, authored the bill.

His argument for the ban is the curriculum places too much focus on “what is bad about America,” according to the Tulsa World.

College Board’s testing fee is $91. A three-hour Oklahoma State course costs roughly $750 for instate students and $2,000 for out-of-state students.

These figures don’t include fees by individual colleges, like the College of Arts and Sciences fee.

More than 1,500 current OSU students received AP credit in at least one history course, including U.S. history, according to

the university’s Office of Institutional Research and Information Management.

Despite the economical boon to students, the bill passed in its House Common Education Committee hearing.

But it doesn’t end there.

Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, was a co-author

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2015

on the bill. During the bill’s public hearing, she equated the College Board curricula to Common Core, a national education curriculum. The nonprofit organization was criticized for the same reason: It attempts to standardize American education. Common Core opponents believe individu-

al states, schools or teachers should have autonomy in the classroom.

Because the state enacted legislation to repeal Common Core last year, some legislators, including Kern, believe all AP courses should be banned in the same vein.

Gene Perry serves as the

O’COLLY WEEKEND

policy director at Oklahoma Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank in Oklahoma City. The organization aims to provide information and analysis for better governing in Oklahoma.

Perry specializes in education policy. He suggests AP curricula are dissimilar

from Common Core for a variety of reasons. One stands out.

“AP classes are voluntary,” he said.

Students still have the option to take the “on-level” courses, which are usually less rigorous.

Because of the more intense nature of the courses, some students say receiving college credit isn’t the only benefit the classes offer.

“AP classes made the transition to college workload less of a shock, which I think helped me be more successful early on,” said OSU student Corinne Stevenson.

Many students who receive AP credit do so in more than one course.

“I got 18 hours from AP credit,” Kyle Riedemann told the O’Colly via Twitter.

Assuming his school didn’t pay his test fees, Riedemann would have paid $546 for them. For the same credit, the Edmond native would have paid about $4,500 in tuition and fees.

He bypassed a semester of classes and saved almost four grand, excluding living expenses.

The bill, which seeks to ban only the U.S. History course, passed in committee 11-4 on Monday, so it will go to the state’s house of representatives for a vote.

Despite its early stage, the bill has made waves nationally. It caught attention from various media sources including the Washington Post, Fox News, CNN, The Guardian and The Onion. news@ocolly.com PAGE 4

Student ID security threat lessened, system could be improved with cost Stetson Payne @Stetson__Payne

Every student ID is a plastic passport. Each one has access to meal plans and bursar accounts, and it’s the only way to get inside a residence hall.

But early 2013, a student found a gaping hole in the security of Oklahoma State University ID cards.

Although OSU IT fixed the hole, the technology remains as susceptible to fraud or duplication as any credit card.

An OSU website designed to be used by employers was the problem. Users could type in a card number to see if that number was valid; the idea was that businesses could check if a student ID was real, for the purpose of discounts or other needs.

In late 2013, Sam Snelling, at the time an information technology senior, found that the website put every ID at risk of being compromised. As a project in his information security class, he had to find a security hole in the OSU network.

A single computer program, known as Scraper, could use that webpage to get a list of every valid ID number by simply running down every eight-digit combination possible. On Sunday, he posted his full report online.

Snelling tested his hypothesis about copied cards with a video demonstration in which he videotaped two on-campus purchases using

In 2013, a student discovered a security hole in OSU ID cards. The problem was fixed, but the technology remains susceptible to common fraud as any credit card, said Eric Maynard, OSU IT campus security office director.

the demo Pistol Pete card number shown on OSU’s informational website about IDs. The card was a blank white card that was attached to Snelling’s bursar account.

In both cases at the point of sale, the cashier accepted the blank card. The video showed that while the card was attached to the Pistol Pete name, the charge was put on Snelling’s account.

This means that the card scanners only check that the card has a valid ID number and an active bursar account, but do not cross reference the name with the account.

OSU IT Campus Security Office Director Eric Maynard said that with the website loophole closed, the risk of a massive identity theft is greatly reduced.

“I would think it’s been

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2015

improved a little bit because that website is gone now,” Maynard said. “There’s been some training at the point of sale systems, so it’s brought some attention to the issue.

So I think security’s been improved a little bit.”

Snelling declined an interview with the O’Colly, but he did make a follow-up post to his blog detailing some questions about the report. He particularly emphasized that student IDs should be kept secure in the same way as credit cards.

“You really should treat your Student ID like a credit card,” Snelling said in his follow-up post. “Even if you allow someone to see the front of your Student ID (and see the card number in the bottom right), someone could theoretically clone

your card with very little work.”

Card readers can be purchased on Amazon.com for less than $150. The cards’ entire technology is on the black stripe on the back of the card, otherwise known as a magnetic strip or magstripe.

Each mag-stripe contains coded information about the card, specifically the card number and associated student. Mag-stripe technology is the standard for scan cards across the country, including student IDs, Snelling said in his report. Even with the website loophole closed, the risk for fraud still exists. To copy any mag-stripe card, only a card reader and a blank card is needed.

It’s the same risks people face every time they use

O’COLLY WEEKEND

their credit card. Skimmers can be used to steal credit card information and can work the same way with student IDs. Maynard said the technology and security of both the IDs and credit cards are the same.

“They’re just as susceptible to skimming as credit cards,” Maynard said.

The more secure option than the present mag-stripe technology is chip and PIN. Each card has a computer chip embedded in the scanned portion, which asks for a user-unique PIN from the consumer, according to a Forbes article from 2014.

Chip and PIN is already widely adopted in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Most U.S. retailers are expected to move to chip and PIN in the coming

years, phasing out the traditional chip and signature method.

Although it could lead to greater security, Maynard said there are significant hurdles to bring chip and PIN to OSU. “There’s cost, efficiency, the infrastructure,” Maynard said. “You’d have to change infrastructure. There’s a cost involved with all of that; re-issuing all the cards, the inconvenience of perhaps having a PIN number or some secondary piece of security on the card.

“It would definitely improve the security, but at what cost?”

Maynard also said he wasn’t aware of any criminal cases that had used this method for compromising ID numbers.

“I’ve heard of cases where people have used stolen cards but never duplications,” Maynard said.

That said, an emphasis has been placed on security at the point of sale, Maynard said. Cashiers have been retrained since the video demonstration to not accept blank cards, and student employees have been educated on steps to avoid fraud.

If students, faculty or staff feel their card has been lost or stolen, they can use O-KEY account services to deactivate their ID online at the identification card page.

Students should also contact the campus police department at 405-744-6523 or 311 if they think any criminal activity such as fraud has taken place. news@ocolly.com PAGE 5

OSU HOSTS BIG 12 STUDENT CONFERENCE Conference chair Braelyn Johnson decided the theme a year ago when she and her team began the planning process.

“I decided on the theme after hearing a speech called “The Clock Will Not Be Turned Back by former NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins,” Johnson said. “We want to focus on the work of our black forefathers and work to continue that within the African American community.”

Oklahoma State University is hosting the 38th Annual Big XII Conference on Black Student Government. OSU African American Student Association is sponsoring the three-day conference, which began Thursday and will conclude Saturday evening with a banquet and awards ceremony.

Ashtin Calvin is the current president of OSU’s African American Student Association and is excited for the opportunity to share what the organization does for the African American community at OSU. The purpose of the Big XII Council is for black student

connections within the African American community.”

Calvin said.

The conference is open to schools outside the Big 12.

There will be more than 600 attendees from more than 40 different colleges and universities across the nation.

OPINION: Hacking Oklahoma State University’s student ID report is more than alarming, it’s a sign

By JACOB HARMAN O’Colly IT

I have been with the O’Colly since August 2011, back when it was still The Daily O’Collegian. I’m the O’Colly’s Network Administrator and overall IT department.

I came across this posting on Reddit’s netsec subreddit that was titled “Hacking Oklahoma State University’s Student ID.” Intrigued, I clicked the link and began to read a very informative report from Sam Snelling, an OSU alum. I was impressed to see that this was found as a part of a class project, and fortunately someone with good intentions found the vulnerability.

I was further impressed by how stupidly easy the university made the security problem to exploit. OSU IT had a website that would let you type in OSU ID card numbers to see if they were valid, and if so, their current student status. Yes. You read that correctly, a website that would allow you to type in a student ID card number,

and it would tell you if you were a student, staff or faculty.

Fortunately, due to the efforts of this group, the website was taken down.

I am pretty sure that the website exists still as some internal website that is just waiting to be discovered.

As a student, I am very aware of the general laziness toward people securing their ID cards. I have seen folks make plans about using someone else’s ID to get into the football games, and I have seen the signs in Twenty Something that note your ID card will be confiscated if you are using someone else’s ID card.

Our ID card is generally our link to the whole campus. You use it to check out computers and books at the library, gain access to buildings, get food, buy books, get into your dorm, see sporting events and even check into campus life events.

I am a senior electrical and computer engineering double major seeking a dual degree as well as a math minor. When I look back at using my card in any of

OSU IT once had a website that allowed people to check the status of OSU ID card numbers.

those circumstances, there was not any point in which I was double-checked to make sure I was who I said I was. I could just walk up, hand a card over, and then get things, and there was no second thoughts or doublechecks.

That is extremely alarming. If someone was to charge something to my bursar with my ID card without my knowledge, it would wind up causing an enrollment hold, a transcript hold, and various other problems, let alone the

money, and nothing would be able to be done about it.

The university’s ID policies are out of date (last updated 2006), and they were out of date when I was a freshman here at OSU in 2011.

I know what you are thinking: What is the big deal?

The big deal here is that in any of those instances in which you have used your ID, and to be honest, I can not tell you how many times I have used my ID on campus, my information could have been tracked, stored

and stolen.

In a post-Snowden era, security has been a higher priority in my life. Everybody jokes about how the NSA has all of your information and is listening all the time. In my mind, being tracked all over the university since I have been a student here does not resonate well with me.

Since OSU shut down the website to validate ID cards, the problem should be fixed, right?

I do not think so. The vulnerability is still there

HACKADAY.COM

in our ID system. Shutting down the website just placed a nice bandage on the problem, and outdated policies are just legal blocks to make the university not responsible for any misuse of this system.

It would be just as easy for someone to watch you buy something with your card and snap a photo of your card, and use that information to encode to a new “fake” card.

Rebounding key as Cowboys look for bounce back Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz

Teams are beating Oklahoma State on the glass, and it’s helping them beat the Cowboys on the court.

In Big 12 play, the Cowboys are grabbing a leagueworst 29.47 rebounds per game, leading to a rebounding margin of -5.33 per game, also worst in the conference. The Cowboys have had a negative rebounding margin in four of coach Travis Ford’s six seasons.

“Our defense needs to be better at rebounding,” Ford said.

Minimizing that mar-

gin has been a key for the Cowboys (17-10, 7-8 Big 12) when they succeed this season. In wins, OSU’s rebounding margin is still negative, but it’s just -1.29.

But in losses, that number becomes an atrocious -8.88, and during the Cowboys’ current three-game losing streak, the margin is -12.67.

Ford’s squad has outrebounded Big 12 opponents just twice this season, including when Texas Tech (12-17, 2-14) visited Gallagher-Iba Arena on Jan. 21.

But in Lubbock, Texas, the Red Raiders are a different team. Both of their conference wins came in United Supermarkets Arena, with one of those being a 78-73 win over No. 12 Iowa State.

TREVOR GREER/O’COLLY

OSU averages 29.47 rebounds per game, worst in the Big 12.

Their last home game was an overtime battle between them and the No. 16 Sooners.

“They’ve played well at home,” Ford said. “I don’t think I can pinpoint why.”

Ford might search for

an answer for his team’s rebounding woes off his bench in the form of Anthony Allen, while other backups, such as Jeffrey Carroll, might begin to see more minutes as well.

Ford had a quick response when asked how much he’s experimented with different lineups.

“A lot,” he said. “Everybody should get their chance to play.”

With opposing defenses minimizing the impact of guard Phil Forte, Ford is looking for other players to step up.

“We had good looks,” Ford said. “Some of those guys are more than capable of making them, and they’ll make ’em.”

Still, it’s the other side of the ball hurting the Cowboys.

“It wasn’t our offense,” Ford said. “… We need to hang our hat on defensive rebounding.
