Varsity Revue raises more than $33,000 for Stillwater United Way H ay ley Sull iva n Sta ff R epo rt er @ o c olly

Members of the Greek community dazzled and danced across the Seretean Center Concert Hall stage for Varsity Revue.

The annual philanthropic performance raised more than $33,000 for Stillwater’s chapter of United Way. Performances took place every evening Wednesday-Saturday.

United Way is a nonprofit agency that brings together local nonprofit organizations to benefit the entire community and help with its needs.

United Way’s Stillwater chapter partners with 22 nonprofits, including the American Red Cross and Stillwater Mobile Meals.

Last year, Varsity Revue raised more than $28,000 for United Way. The goal this year was $30,000, which was exceeded by more than $3,000.

Varsity Revue is one of OSU Greek Life’s biggest performance events of the year. Sororities and fraternities pair up and create an 11-minute show with a medley of parody songs that pertain to each group’s chosen theme to tell a story.

Greek chapters had their casts audition for the show individually. Judges selected eight sororities and eight fraternities to participate in the performance based on the auditions, and Varsity Revue executives randomly drew to create the pairings.

Carly Ferris, of Alpha Omicron Pi, and Trent Wakefield, of Kappa Sigma, perform “Barbie and Ken” for Varsity Revue on Saturday.

Kappa Delta and Phi Gamma Delta won first place, best song choice and best choreography.

Their theme was “Take Me Out to the Ballgame!”

The 1950s-themed show featured a baseball game and rivalry between waitresses and the baseball team that frequents their diner.

Madison Rash, a human development and family science senior, and Maggie Chipman, a marketing sophomore, were Kappa Delta directors for the show.

After November’s auditions, the performers practiced frequently until the night of the awards ceremony, they said.

“Trying to tell a story

with the choreo is obviously my favorite part because that’s what I direct,” Chipman said. “I think it’s fun to not only say, ‘Hey that is a great, amazing dance,’ but we’re telling you a story about it, and we want to draw that audience in. So, I think it’s fun to watch it go from ground zero and build its way up to, here we are, Saturday night, dripping sweat, but it’s totally worth it.”

Rash has participated in Varsity Revue each of the past four years. She said she loves the diversity of the community, getting to meet people and seeing friendships build over the years.

“Every year, themes are just original and different

and so unique in their own way,” Rash said. “It’s just neat to see how us college students can come together and use that creative side. We’ve got engineers, math majors, history, science, but it doesn’t matter because we’re all creative, and we can all do something like this.”

Alex Able, a sports management senior, and Mason Congdon, a strategic communications senior, served as directors for the Gamma Phi Beta and FarmHouse show.

Able said she enjoyed seeing hours of hard work come together for the casts.

“I think it’s really stressful, but it’s also really fun to get out there and do

what you love, and it’s for a great cause,” Able said.

Congdon, who won the award for best male director, said he and Able didn’t know each other before the show but are now “the best of friends.”

“The great thing about Greek shows is it takes people who would’ve never met and throws them together every night for a couple months, and then they become some of your favorite people,” he said.

Zeta Tau Alpha and Beta Theta Pi won second place for their show “Stuck in Metropolis,” which featured a young girl in the world of her favorite superhero TV show.

The pairing also won most

philanthropic, best vocals, viewers’ choice and most entertaining. Zeta director Kacey Brewer won best female director.

Pi Beta Phi and Sigma Nu received third place and the award for best costumes for their show “Order up!,” in which the owner of a diner and her two children strive to save their family restaurant from closing.

Gamma Phi Beta and FarmHouse received fourth place for “Coney Island,” a show about elderly people enjoying a day at the New York amusement park. The pairing also won best theme and best male performers.

Chi Omega and Sigma Chi received fifth place for “Clash of the Show Choirs,” in which public and private school show choirs face off until they have to unite to compete in a national competition.

Eight hundred people attended the sold-out Saturday night performance and awards ceremony.

Rash said after four years of participating in Varsity Revue, one aspect comes first to her mind.

“I’m definitely going to remember the people,” Rash said. “I’m going to leave with lifelong friends, I think, and that’s the whole show community, not just in our cast.”

OSU alumni upset about high Colvin membership cost J u li e McElroy Sta ff R epo rt er @ o c olly

Stillwater residents have found the Colvin Recreation Center to be unaffordable, despite some being Oklahoma State University alumni.

OSU students pay a reduced rate through student fees. Full-time faculty and staff at OSU and Northern Oklahoma College can use the Colvin free of charge as a part of their benefits packages.

However, for those in the Stillwater community, it can be a stretch to pay $275 a semester on top of parking fees at the Colvin.

1981 graduate of OSU, and his wife, Robin, have experienced the high prices firsthand.

“It’s just frustrating to me that I can’t qualify to afford using the facility that

I’ve supported for so many years,” Mark Stinchcomb said. “Our goal is just to see if (the Colvin) could have any consideration to make it a little more flexible to where we could afford to go and use it.”

The Colvin is intended to be student oriented and OSU does not want the facility to be overcrowded when students are coming to exercise, said Karissa Lowe, Department of Wellness assistant director of operations.

Although the Colvin has a list of those eligible for affiliate memberships - including spouses of OSU faculty, staff and students - it does not include OSU alumni. Affiliate membership holders

pay $100 a semester or $285 annually, which is about the amount students pay through fees.

The community membership rate of $275 a semester used to be solely available to Alumni Association members, Lowe said. However, it was difficult to determine which alumni were members of the association, and not enough alumni used the membership.

This led to the Colvin opening up community memberships to all Stillwater residents, she said.

Mark Stinchcomb said he would like to see alumni become eligible for the affiliate membership rate.

Robin Stinchcomb said she sees the punch card system as being a great alternative to an everyday membership because she travels and is not in Stillwater all the time to use the gym.

The logistics of the punch card are still being worked out, but Lowe said she expects to see the system become available to the Stillwater community in the future.

Review: ‘Get Out’ showcases the horrors of assimilative violence S ky ler O s burn E ntertai n m e n t C r i t i c @skylewo

Jordan Peele, multitalented member of the acclaimed comedy show Key & Peele, has dived headfirst into studio filmmaking and sprung to the surface with a masterpiece. “Get Out” is the most culturally significant horror film of my lifetime.

Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya), an African-American, meets the well-to-do parents of his charming but naïve white girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams).

As soon as her folks receive them at the family estate, Chris begins prodding at the mysterious behaviors of the housekeeper and groundskeeper.

Get Out/Fandango

Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya, in “Get Out.”

They are both black, but they also seem ripped from an alternate dimension in which societal power structures never advanced even slightly beyond those of the years leading up to the Civil Rights era. Indeed, instead of ending in struggle, those structures have been

solidified here into a peace as unpalatable as the most heinous racial violence.

The film’s airtight plot, its nuanced but stylized aesthetic, dedicates itself to bum-rushing us with a momentous truth – there is nothing alternative or distant about that dimension. For

some, it is an afterthought.

But for others, for those forcefully identified as “other,” it is a constant existential weight and burden.

The particular vein of racial oppression that “Get Out” details is horrific in its actualization but laughable in its backhanded rhetoric, and that makes it the perfect target for a combination of Peele’s rich understanding of genre convention and his comedic expertise. The struggle in question is that of cultural assimilation.

Black men and women, ripped from their friends, families and familiar cultural expressions, become cogs in an indifferent but efficient white machine.

How these people are so forcefully integrated, which

I will leave unexplained for fear of spoilers, delivers the perfect climactic metaphor for the physical cost of assimilation.

Peele pulls no punches on this issue. When a privileged group normalizes its lifestyle against that of another group, peaceful relations between the two are impossibile. Consumption of a subculture for the purposes of homogenization is inherently violent. Its apologists can run themselves ragged aggrandizing black physicality, but without fail, that rhetoric comes with the diminution of the black intellect and the desire to thieve that physicality from a group deemed otherwise unworthy.

“Get Out” is wish-

fulfilling and life-affirming in the way it resolves these conflicts narratively. Chris fights — for himself, for his brethren and against the widespread lie of the perfect white family minding their own business behind a white picket fence. His best friend, Rod, problem-solves with quick wit, humor and an incontestable knowledge of the ever-present threat that his skin color poses to himself and to his loved ones.

Get out and watch this powerful cultural document. Be scared, tickled and educated.

OSU music education major embraces diversity Aubr ie Bow l an E ntertai n m e n t E d i to r @au br i e _ bow l a n

Kevin Kamau has never let being in a minority affect his love for music.

Kamau, a music education junior, said he has often been disappointed with the number of African-Americans in the arts. When he graduated from Mustang High School’s class of about 700, he was one of a handful in band and orchestra.

The numbers didn’t change when he came to Oklahoma State University.

Kamau is the only African-American in the trumpet studio, and he counted on one hand the number of AfricanAmerican music majors he could think of at OSU. He said the school’s location, away from the city, and the pressures of black culture can explain the lack of African-American students in OSU’s music program.

“I wish we had more,”

Kevin Kamau, a trumpet major at OSU, encourages people of diverse backgrounds to pursue arts despite stigmas against it.

Kamau said. “I feel like there’s a stigma in black culture like, ‘Oh, we don’t do band. That’s not for black people.’”

Kamau is the first in his family born in the United States. His parents and older sisters moved to Oklahoma from Nairobi, Kenya, and their culture made Kamau’s experience different from other African-Americans’, he said.

Despite the pressure of Kenyan culture to be in a more lucrative profession, Kamau said he has made

music his life.

“I want to be really good and be seen and known as really good so black kids will think, ‘Hey, I can do that, too,’” Kamau said. “Growing up, I always felt like I had to be better and the best that I could possibly be because I’m representing black people.”

Kamau has played sideby-side with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and has been part of OSU trumpet ensembles that have placed first and third at the National Trumpet

Competition.

Kamau said he felt lucky gets to go to graduate school for music performance because the way education is handled, especially in Oklahoma, is a “trainwreck.”

“Most of the education majors I know … go where people care about the arts and are fighting at the state level for the arts and education in general,” Kamau said. “Oklahoma definitely deters people from staying here.

It’s really sad because we produce really great educators, and even the ones who are from here are like, ‘I don’t want to

deal with that.’

“You’re fighting an uphill battle constantly.

You’re fighting the people who should be helping you and your students.”

Although he has been in the minority and felt as if state legislators aren’t doing their part to support education, Kamau said if he weren’t doing music, he wouldn’t know what else to do because he has never found the same passion for anything else.

“I just wanted to play,” Kamau said. “I’ve never felt like my color stopped me from being the best I

could be on my horn.”

Kamau said the best thing for people of color in the arts to do is to stick to it.

“If you wanna do it, do it,” Kamau said. “If you wanna do it, don’t let your friends say, ‘Black people don’t play clarinet. Black people don’t play oboe.’ Play what you wanna play, and do what you wanna do. Don’t let anybody stop you from being you.”

Burks’ footprints pave the way for new Counseling Services director K ati e Allen Sta ff R epo rt er @ o c olly

Suzanne Burks is no stranger to the tragedy that has surrounded Oklahoma State University.

Burks, an OSU alumna for her bachelor’s (1972), master’s (1986) and Ph. D. (1990), began working for her alma mater 38 years ago.

Burks worked with University Counseling Services during the plane crashes in 2001 and 2011 and the homecoming parade tragedy in 2015.

Although Burks dealt with many crisis cases throughout her counseling career, she said one issue she felt the need to address tugged on her heart: sexual assault.

Burks recalled taking a special interest in sexual assault after taking on the role of director for UCS. “It was not a position but a need that came up that we knew we needed to address,” Burks said.

“I decided to take that on, as well as my directory role.”

Rather than referring to clients as victims, Burks made it a priority to label them as survivors.

Burks went beyond what was asked of her as a counselor: she responded to sexual assault survivors any time of the day or night. She said many times, calls came from the police department or emergency room.

When some students felt weak asking for help, Burks reassured the

survivors counseling is a brave step. Counseling is a way of finding out the difficult problems one must discover to heal, Burks said.

“If your car had a flat tire and you could fix it yourself, great, but if the engine fell out, you

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2017

would probably take it to someone who knew how to fix it, and that’s all counseling is,” Burks said.

Burks retired in 2016.

“I was tired,” Burks said with a chuckle.

After almost 40 years of counseling a count-

less number of students, Burks said she knew it was time to pass the torch to a new director.

“I knew it was time to turn it over to somebody else who was younger and more passionate and had more energy physically, just like I was when I became the director,” Burks said.

That somebody else turned out to be Trevor Richardson.

Richardson earned his master’s degree in community counseling and Ph. D. in counseling psychology at OSU. Richardson said he admired Burks for her wealth of knowledge while he worked for

her at UCS. Burks was always supportive of his professional progression through the years and was an advocate for him and many others, Richardson said.

“She had an intense desire to serve the OSU student population and the university at large,” Richardson said.

For Richardson, Burks’ shining moments were in the crises few got to see.

Although she stood out for her work with students during the crashes and campuswide tragedies throughout the years, her greatest work seemed to come from those latenight calls, Richardson said.

Countless hours in the emergency room, police station and residence halls are where Burks made her greatest impact in her fellow coworkers’ eyes, Richardson said.

“Those moments are where she made a significant mark,” Richardson said. “Being there in those times of need is where I think other administrators, faculty, parents and lots of people who have interacted with her in that capacity have really been appreciative.”

Richardson took the role of director, but the sexual assault cases were divided among three counselors. These counselors work in a rotation, taking turns responding to the calls from students.

Richardson said Burks’ words of advice are always with him: Not all decisions are going to be popular. He said as director, he has to remind himself of this often.

Although Richardson valued her advice, what he took from Burks are her actions, Richardson said. She was a prime example of what every counselor should work toward.

“It comes down to being a human being and responding to people in need in their time of need,” Richardson said.

Jake Cowan pitches during Oklahoma State’s 6-3 victory against Texas State on Sunday.

The Cowboys won two games in the three-game series against the Bobcats.

Cowan, Cowboys top Texas State in series rubber match M ar sh all S c ott C o py Chief @ M ar shall_ On c e

Jake Cowan took to the mound in the fourth inning, and everything calmed down for the Cowboys.

The Oklahoma State baseball team defeated Texas State 6-3 on Sunday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium, the 900th victory at the ballpark, as OSU won the weekend series’ rubber match. The opening innings were a tugof-war between the teams’ offenses. Cowan (1-0) entered with the game tied at 3 and threw four innings, striking out six while allowing no runs and no hits.

“I think he did an excellent job of calming it down,” OSU coach Josh Holliday said. “Four innings of shutout relief against a team that had been very difficult to slow down was probably the key to the game for us.”

After dropping Saturday’s game, a 12-11 defeat, the OSU (4-3) bats started hot. Garrett McCain hit a

leadoff single in the bottom of the first inning, and Ryan Sluder followed suit with a bunt single. Garrett Benge hit a single to the right side, scoring McCain, and Sluder scored from third after catcher Colin Simpson grounded into a double play.

McCain, Sluder and Benge, the top of OSU’s lineup, accounted for five of OSU’s six hits. Benge finished with three RBIs, Sluder scored three runs and McCain scored two.

“Just setting the table,” Sluder said. “Benge, I’ve never seen someone that hits like that. … For me and G-Mac (McCain), we’re just trying to set the table and get on, and it worked today.”

In the fifth inning, McCain and Sluder found themselves on base again with Benge at the plate.

The baserunners executed a double steal before Benge singled to left-center field.

The runs ended up being the difference in the game.

The Bobcats (3-5) proved to be stiff competition for

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2017

the No. 11 Cowboys, as each game in the series was decided by three or fewer runs.

Friday, OSU saw itself up 8-0 before TSU fought back, and the game finished 10-7.

Saturday, the Cowboys were down 7-2 before battling back and losing by 1. The series put the Cowboys in many different scenarios, but Holliday said he hopes through that, OSU can build a consistent mindset.

“The lesson is to play every pitch the same regardless of the score,” Holliday said.

“It’s a hard skill to learn because sometimes when you get way ahead, you kinda coast, and sometimes if you were to get way behind, you don’t know how your team responds there. Then when you’re going back and forth, like today, the goal is to play them all the same.”

Cowboys earn 900th victory at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium Nath a n R uiz Invest igat iv e E di tor @ N atha nSR u iz

There are few, if any, people who have watched more Oklahoma State victories in Allie P. Reynolds Stadium than Josh Holliday.

Having attended games as a child in the stands, a batboy, a player, an assistant and, now, as the Cowboy baseball team’s coach, Holliday’s baseball memories are often intertwined with Allie P., OSU’s home ballpark since 1981. Sunday, the Cowboys’ 6-3 victory against Texas State represented the program’s 900th win in the stadium.

Holliday said he doesn’t

OSU players congratulate one another after the victory.

have a favorite.

“All of ’em,” Holliday said. “Any time the Pokes win. I think whether you were watching it from the stands, picking up a bat, experiencing it as a player and now sitting here as a coach, I

think what I love about all of them is the team expected to win no matter what because that’s what playing here’s all about.

“The come-from-behind wins, the regional wins, the legends that have dug into

those batting boxes and those mounds. At that moment in time, they were all great.”

Holliday grew up watching OSU Hall of Famers Robin Ventura and Pete Incaviglia swing the bat in Allie P. He said he remembers sitting in Section 4 behind home plate when Monty Fariss blasted a home run into the third row of stadium lights beyond Allie P.’s left-field wall. He said the ovation the team received after its 2014 Regional victory stands out, but to classify a single game out of 900 as his favorite is difficult.

“It’s only meaningful because of all the ones that happened before,” Holliday said. “Other people made this place what it is. Those of us

that have gotten to come in behind it are carrying on a tradition.

“I don’t know if I could put my hand on one historic game, but there’s just been so many of them. Nine hundred in 30 years here, it’s just crazy, right?”

For current players, with fewer memories to choose from, the decision is somewhat simpler. Third baseman Garrett Benge identified the Cowboys’ series victory against TCU last season among his favorite games.

Center fielder Ryan Sluder picked OSU’s victory against Dallas Baptist in 2015, a game in which he hit a walkoff three-run home run, as his favorite for personal achieve-

ments, but his favorite for the team came the same season, when Corey Hassel’s walkoff shot gave the Cowboys’ a victory against Texas in 18 innings.

Sluder said No. 900 speaks to the history of OSU baseball.

“It’s really cool to play at a place that there’s so much tradition,” Sluder said.

“You’ve got guys like Pete Incaviglia, Robin Ventura and those guys.

“It’s awesome to be on the team that got the 900th win.”
