New Colvin Performance Studio offers space for personal, small group training Zach Collums @zachcollums
Personal fitness training has a new home at Oklahoma State. On Tuesday, the Colvin Functional Training Studio had its grand opening, where attendants were able to test out the new equipment and participate in fitness classes. The new addition gives the Colvin a dedicated area for personal training, as well as an area that will hold group fitness and specialty classes for smaller groups. The training studio, which cost $1 million for renovations and equipment, was financed through student fees. Jason Vlastaras, assistant director of student fitness, said the reason for building the training studio was to expand the fitness services the Colvin provides, specifically in regards to personal and small group training. “(The services) had grown so big that we

really needed a more dedicated space to train clients,” Vlastaras said. The studio is located in the northwest part of the Colvin and has two floors. The top floor is available for personal training and small group training, and the bottom floor is home to an area where patrons
can train with plyometric boxes and medicine balls, as well as free weights with trained supervisors. “I think (the training center) really sets us apart from any other wellness organizations in the nation,” Vlastaras said. “I can’t think of another university that has a dedi-
cated performance space where you can perform a multitude of movements from plyometric jumps on a box … that’s specifically for students.” Grant Irby, a fitness graduate assistant at the Colvin, said the training center elevates the level of excellence provided at the
Colvin. “To have a space where students can use functional equipment in bright new creative ways and also allow for a discrete setting for personal training to occur where clients feel comfortable working oneon-one with their trainers just exceeds what a
normal college experience would provide,” Irby said. The studio is open 9-11 a.m., 1-4 p.m. and 8 p.m. to midnight Monday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, the center will be open during regular Colvin hours. news@ocolly.com

Goat milk’s health benefits inspire new ice cream Sarah Eddings @SarahEddings
If there were ever going to be a Cinderella story written about two guys and some goat milk ice cream, it would be based in Stillwater. Billy Goat Ice Cream is a wholesale manufacturing company located in Stillwater. RaShaun Robbins and Caleb Neil, who will both be graduating from Oklahoma State University in May with a master of science in entrepreneurship, created the company. It all started when Robbins was studying to get his undergraduate degree at Langston University. “Langston is really
well-known for their goat research, so I decided to go check out what that was all about,” Robbins said. After arriving at the American Institute for Goat Research at Langston University, Robbins devised a business plan that incorporated several local goat farms to produce goat milk ice cream. He then took his idea to a competition at Langston and ended up winning first place. Four years later, Robbins met Neil at OSU’s 2013 Pitch and Poster Competition. Robbins and Neil decided to team up and propose the business plan for Billy Goat Ice Cream and won that, too. Recently, Robbins and Neil partnered with Keystone Food Services

in hopes of getting their products into stores. But the road to success wasn’t always an easy one. “There were a lot of highs and a lot of lows,” Robbins said. “I remember when we first started out, we were rigging homemade ice cream makers in my apartment just to make samples to pass out to vendors. “We even tried putting it outside during the winter to get it to freeze a few times because we were having some problems with that.” But luckily for them, they’ve moved production from Robbins’ apartment and into Billy Goat Ice Cream’s own production building, where they can produce 24 quarts of ice

cream in six minutes. Billy Goat Ice Cream has five flavors, but Robbins and Neil are looking into adding some fruit-based ice creams to the mix soon. “There are health benefits that come with eating goat milk ice cream. People who are lactose intolerant can

digest it a lot easier and there’s less fat in goat milk ice cream,” Neil said. “And most of the time, people don’t even realize that it’s goat milk ice cream that they’re eating because the taste is so similar to regular ice cream.” Besides goat milk ice
cream, Robbins and Neil also had some advice to pass on to younger aspiring entrepreneurs: utilize your networks, go through all of the necessary steps and always remain positive — even in the low times. news@ocolly.com

Where comedy began: Second City comedy troupe to perform at OSU Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff
In the age of bad commercials, cheesy pick-up lines and trademark phrases like “that’s what she said,” it’s difficult to pinpoint where laughter began. Thursday in the Seretean Center Concert Hall, you can experience how some of today’s best comedians got their start. Second City, a sketch and improvisational comedy troupe, will be perform as the fourth performance of the 2014-2015 Allied Art series at Oklahoma State.
Brandon Mitts, special events coordinator, said the event could sell out because Second City is such a popular group. “You will see a comedy act a lot like what you would see on Saturday Night Live,” Mitts said. “A lot of the people from Second City go on to be world famous actors.” Second City began as a small cabaret theatre in Chicago in 1959 that went on to churn out some of today’s most famous actors and comedians. Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey all trained with Second City, just to name

a few. Although filled with renowned alumni, the Second City performance will be even more special because they tailor their script for each audience, meaning that much of the comedy featured will be OSU-related. Mitts said the Allied Arts Selection Committee filled out and submitted a survey to Second City that highlights primary OSU and Stillwater topics from which to build their comedy act around. Get excited because jokes will likely be made regarding Garth Brooks, our rivalry with the University

dren for $10 and non-OSU students for $18. Mitts said the tickets are worth it for the level of comedy you will get. “We want to bring comedy in January when people
get back from the holidays,” Mitts said. “Something light to lift peoples’ spirits up at the start of the semester.” news@ocolly.com

SPD ushers in new captain, PIO Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k
Capt. Kyle Gibbs is literally “movin’ on up.” Along with a spacious office on the second floor, Gibbs has earned the title of the new services bureau captain and public information officer for the Stillwater Police Department. Gibbs officially took over PIO duties Dec. 22 and stepped into the role of Captain Jan. 8 after former Capt. Randy Dickerson announced his retirement late last year.
BACKGROUND Having worked with SPD for more than 28 years, Gibbs has acquired experience in many areas of the field. Originally from Duncan, Oklahoma, Gibbs began his career in police work in Ada, Oklahoma at 21. Gibbs said he was initially hired as a dispatcher but decided to become an officer as his interest in the field increased. Intending to pursue a degree in engineering from Oklahoma State University, Gibbs moved to Stillwater in 1986 and accepted a job as a patrolman with Stillwa-
with his bachelor’s degree in business from OSU in 2002. He also had the opportunity to attend a 12-week training course for law enforcement officials at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia in 2005.
ter police. Gibbs spent two years on patrol before he was transferred to the criminal investigation division, where he worked for seven years. He spent three years working with the special projects investigative team
and then returned to patrol as a sergeant. Gibbs was promoted to lieutenant in 2000, and held the position for 14 years. While serving as lieutenant, Gibbs — having decided engineering was not the path for him — graduated
THINKING AHEAD Embracing his new position as captain and PIO, Gibbs said his main goals include doing more public relations and reinforcing the public’s trust in Stillwater police. He said he is also excited about a use-of-force training simulator potentially being added to SPD. The simulator
“I think it will be very productive and one that students will enjoy with what we have planned for them.” A major development in SGA is a renewed effort for more involvement with the Board of Regents. This year the organization has made a sustained effort to have a larger presence at Board of Regents meetings. The ultimate goal of the effort is to have a student representative on the board. “It will take time, but we are making progress,” Duncan said.
Students will be particularly interested in a renewed push to bring back the Orange Peel festival, which began in 1995 and ran through 2009 before being canceled due to a lack of funding. It previously brought major music and comedy acts to campus. The process of reviving the event is in its early stages, but is expected to continue through this semester. “There are some hurdles to get through before anything is finalized,” Duncan said. “We’d like to be able to do
something this semester, but there are a lot of steps before that can happen.” Spring semester is also lobbying season for SGA members. State budget shortfalls have put higher education on the chopping block for funding cuts, and SGA intends to send members to Oklahoma City to lobby for higher education. SGA will also be sending members to Washington, D.C. to lobby on major national issues such as President Obama’s recent pledge to provide no cost
two-year community college for, “those who are willing to work for it.” In addition, SGA will be reviewing a university advising system for students. The aim to improve services across the board will be addressed this semester. “Whether that means getting more advisers per students on campus or training for our advisers, we believe this is an important issue that students see a need for improvement in,” Duncan said. Other topics such as an

would allow police officers to experience a variety of situations and practice their reactions, Gibbs said. He said SPD would join a number of police departments around the state that are already taking advantage of the technology.
BEYOND THE DESK Outside of work, Gibbs enjoys spending time with his wife, Terri, along with his four children and grandson, Brenton. His hobbies include woodworking, volunteering for United Way and scuba diving. news@ocolly.com

Student Government Association has also seen changes in its agenda and a class of senators elected this past November. “We have a very busy semester coming up,” said Clint Duncan, senate chair.

Hammonds seeks productivity, consistency against Tech Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz
Leyton Hammonds has spent 1 1/2 seasons learning, but now, with health on his side, he’s ready for consistency. The sophomore forward has had an up-and-down season for Oklahoma State (12-5, 2-3 Big 12), marred by an ankle sprain in November that caused him to miss four games. The injury, suffered after landing on a teammate’s foot in practice, sped the season up for Hammonds. “It feels like the season’s been two days,” he said. “It just went by so fast. My sophomore season’s just pretty much halfway over. I feel like I’ve learned a lot this
season, especially about injuries, about team chemistry, how consistent you have to be every day to be productive out there on the court.” Hammonds’ freshman season didn’t match his personal expectations, but productivity was still a focus. “I feel like that was my best year I’ve had just (in terms of ) productivity ’cause I learned,” Hammonds said. “I wasn’t that good out on the court, but I learned how to play college basketball.” Learning last year seemed to benefit Hammonds, as he opened this season with a 16-point showing against Southeastern Louisiana in his first career start. However, the up was followed by a down, as he failed to score in the next two games before getting injured. He floated around after
that point, sitting between five and 15 minutes a game and scoring no more than five points. But he turned it on for Bedlam. After the Cowboys missed their first 15 3-points attempts and trailed the SoonUp Next vs. Against: Texas Tech When: Wednesday at 8 p.m. Where: Gallagher-Iba Arena TV: ESPNU
ers 55-33, Hammonds got the chance to play extended minutes and took advantage. He hit 5-of-7 3-pointers, tying for the team lead in points.
“He was the only bright spot,” OSU coach Travis Ford said. “Obviously, made shots, which are important. We’re just looking, hopefully, for him to build on that. … I love Leyton. I like his game. I like what he brings to the table.” When the Cowboys face Texas Tech (10-8, 0-5 Big 12) on Wednesday, Ford will be hoping that Bedlam was start of consistency for Hammonds, not just another up before a down. “It’s hard to be consistent when you’re not playing and you’re in-and-out,” Ford said. “I get all that. It’s difficult, but you have to be ready. “… We’re always looking for more scorers on our basketball team, and he has the ability to do that.”
