Ann Hargis pursues passions, leaves impact at OSU Nu r i a Ma rt ine z- K e e l News Editor @k ar at eNuria

As the sounds of a jingling dog leash and clacking paws approach, Ann Hargis follows close behind.

The First Cowgirl of Oklahoma State University enters the room with a smile as she and her therapy dog, Scruff, calmly greet new and familiar faces. She often appears as so, chatting with OSU students, employees or campus visitors while their hands brush over Scruff’s coarse white fur.

The two are a common sight on campus, as Scruff is as a member of Pete’s Pet Posse, a team of trained therapy dogs who promote emotional health.

Since her husband, Burns Hargis, accepted the position of OSU president nine years ago, the First Cowgirl has spent plenty of time out and about, working on wellness initiatives, teaching yoga classes and walking Scruff with the Pet Posse, a program she helped establish in 2013.

The involvement is nothing new. Ann has always been active.

It’s a habit that started when she was a child growing up in Dallas.

“I think I was always a tomboy,” she said. “I just would rather be outside playing baseball with the guys and basketball with my brothers and be outside playing than be inside cooking or playing with dolls.”

As she enjoyed sports, her love for leadership and

involvement grew. She participated in student government, clubs and church work throughout high school and college.

Ann’s longtime pursuit of fun and enjoyment — the same drive that pushed her

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 2017

to play outside her childhood home and be active in school and church — later helped her decide to major in Latin and math at the University of Texas.

After enjoying a class with a Latin professor whom she

found entertaining, Ann continued taking the language’s courses again and again, all the way to a Latin degree.

She found her home in math classes, as well.

“My better courses were in math, so I thought, ‘Well,

OCOLLY.COM

I’m going where the grades are, and I’m going where I’m having fun,’” she said.

“It was like playing games.

It wasn’t studying, and so I ended up majoring in math not because I was dedicated.

It was just I thought I wasn’t in college. I was just working puzzles the whole time.”

Ann graduated from Texas in 1966, an era in which women commonly pursued limited careers. Many at the time would have expected her to become a secretary, teacher, nurse or housewife.

She decided to be a computer engineer instead.

Ann moved to Houston to work for IBM as a software engineer, a career then new to women. She said she didn’t feel any different from her male co-workers but discovered she almost surely was receiving a lower salary.

“I didn’t know at the time, but I found out later that I was paid less for the same amount of work and responsibility,” she said. “I thought,

‘That really isn’t quite fair,’ but at the time I didn’t know, so it wasn’t an issue.”

In 1968, she was living in the Three Fountains Apartments, a hotspot for young, single Houstonians, when a law student named Burns paid a visit to his friend Tom. He worked at the county assessor’s office in Houston, and the men, both OSU graduates, sat around the pool that day while Burns played his guitar.

Then, Ann Whiting appeared wearing an orange MuMu dress with her hair in curlers.

“I mean, it certainly was not what you would consider the ideal attire for attraction, but there was something about her that I really liked,” Burns said.

After some prompting from Tom, Burns decided later to call to ask her for a date. She agreed.

They were married in June 1969.

OSU students, health employees discuss contraception options Han na h Edmon dson Sta ff Reporte r @o c o lly

Some women consider birth control a wonder drug.

It’s popular for several reasons, many of which have nothing to do with contraception, including helping to alleviate irregular menstrual periods and cramps, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, Primary Ovarian Insufficiency, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and acne.

Nonetheless, birth control has been caught in political crosshairs for decades.

The recent election cycle has spurred women across the globe to join the fight for reproductive rights.

Although no concrete change has been made to reproductive rights thus far, motions to retract federal funds from all organizations associated with abortion are underway.

The most dramatic implication of this defunding is the threat it poses to Planned Parenthood. The services Planned Parenthood provides to women, 3 percent of which involve abortion, are intended to bring affordable, reproductive health care to women of all backgrounds and incomes, according to its website.

The Women’s Clinic within Oklahoma State University Health Services offers similar services to young women on campus.

In addition to educational materials and one-on-

With birth control being a politicized topic, many women across the United States have protested for better access to birth control and more reproductive rights.

one guidance, the University Women’s Clinic offers annual Pap testing, contraception services, testing for sexually transmitted infections and a licensed registered nurse, who serves as a campus resource for victims of sexual assault.

Pamela Stokes, the nurse manager at UHS, is instrumental in providing personalized care for clients seeking help.

“Our clinical staff can sit down and have a oneon-one conversation and address any questions or fears that patients may have about their health,” Stokes said.

The clinic, like Planned Parenthood, strives to make health care accessi-

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 2017

ble to low-income clients.

Stokes highlighted the flexible payment options of UHS. “We don’t want financial resources to be a barrier to those seeking care,” Stokes said. “We encourage women to speak to a health care provider so that birth control can be individualized.”

On the national spectrum, health care providers have witnessed a surge in intrauterine devices following the recent election.

The IUD is an increasingly popular form of long-term birth control; its spike in popularity is likely a response to President Donald Trump’s plans to pass the American Health Care Reform Act of 2017,

which would limit women’s accessibility to birth control.

Prasanna Fernando at the Stillwater Women’s Clinic has observed an increase in female patients interested in long-acting, reversible contraceptives.

“I have seen patients that are on both sides of the political debate concerned over their access to contraception who are scrambling to get three-, five- and 10-year LARC placement,” Fernando said.

Fernando said he sees a large number of high school and college students, many of whom have come to the clinic afraid to discuss their unplanned pregnancy.

“I always counsel them that when the environment around them is fraught with uncertainty, they must actively engage that environment and formulate a plan,” Fernando said.

Jasmine Fain, a professional writing sophomore and current president of Her Campus at OK State, part of a community of collegiate journalists, expressed her dissatisfaction regarding the recent perceived threats to women’s rights.

“I would like to see all sides represented in the government’s decisions,” Fain said. “Today, I’m afraid women aren’t being considered equally.”

Caitlin Smith, a health education and promotion sophomore and Her Campus member, echoed Fain’s concern.

“People, men in particular, often have misconceptions about birth control,” Smith said. “Many Americans aren’t informed on all of the benefits of birth control.”

The women of Her Campus see journalism as an effective mode of advocating for women’s reproductive rights and destigmatizing feminism.

“As an organization, we’ve been very vocal,” Fain said. “Girls need to be informed and develop their own opinions on the issues.”

The future of women’s reproductive rights rests in the United States House of Representatives and Senate, which are maledominated legislative bod-

ies, which men dominate 635-125. Consequently, defenders of Planned Parenthood and accessible women’s healthcare have devised a number of ways to get involved.

Health care providers in Stillwater are already expecting governmental shifts. Regardless of the political climate, UHS professionals assure students their doors and ears will stay open.

“University Health Services staff are available to field any questions that patients may have regarding their health, and we will do the best we can to educate students if any large-scale changes occur,” Stokes said.

The women of Her Campus said the best way to combat fear is with knowledge.

“Birth control should absolutely be a part of sexual education,” Smith said. “Girls deserve to know what their options are.”

Medical professionals such as Fernando encourage conversations about birth control to reveal its myriad benefits, as well as its importance.

“Girls who had that discussion early describe it as a liberating and empowering conversation that enabled them to take control over their life and future,” Fernando said.

Editorial: Women cannot stop moving forward O ’C o lly e d i tori a l b oa r d @ocolly

Editor’s Note: This special issue was purposefully written by female journalists, led by the O’Colly’s news editor, Nuria Martinez-Keel, and the lifestyle editor, Aubrie Bowlan.

At the O’Colly, we believe women are defined not by their obstacles but how they overcome them.

As we near the end of Women’s History Month, we emphasize the im-

portance of empowering women every month, every week, every day. This special issue recognizes this need; we aim to highlight and acknowledge women in every walk of life, especially on our campus. Everyone has a mother, sister, female family member, female friend or girlfriend who can be empowered and supported. The fight for equal representation and rights isn’t a fight for only women; it’s for everyone.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 2017

Our editorial board includes three women, one of them being our editor-in-chief. Being in these positions has given our female editors a voice to shed light on issues affecting every type of person on our campus, majority or minority, man or woman, black or white.

They aim to encourage other women to speak out and others to listen, to be empowered women empowering women.

The need for women to be more present in our

leadership, locally and nationally, has never been more important. Women are not frail objects who need to be kept at home.

They are important driving forces who belong at the negotiating table for all issues facing our society.

Women need to be heard now more than ever. Women across the nation are leading movements pushing for the acceptance and inclusion of women in all aspects of life. The fight for

OCOLLY.COM

women’s rights stays relevant because of the time and energy from those who push for progress and change. They have made enormous strides in having their voices heard, but we can’t forget the women who weren’t given the opportunity. Women deserve to celebrate their accomplishments, but we cannot celebrate too long for risk of forgetting the end goal.

We cannot stop the movement.

The O’Colly will not

stop either.

The O’Colly Editorial Board is composed of Sierra Winrow, editor-in-chief; Marshall Scott, copy chief; Stetson Payne, managing editor; Nuria MartinezKeel, news editor; Aubrie Bowlan, lifestyle editor; Sam Grubenhoff, sports editor; Dekota Gregory, digital sports editor; Luke Garza, assistant sports editor; Nathan Ruiz, investigative editor; Franco Buhay, opinion editor; Jacob Harman, digital editor; Brady Moore, multimedia editor; and Kurt Steiss, design editor.

A: Just try it. Dive right in. You know, I was scared to do this, but if I wouldn’t have done it, … I wouldn’t have the experience I have now. And I was so skeptical of doing this just because I was just like, “I don’t feel experienced enough for this.’

Hijab s

N ew s

Oklahoma women say wearing hijabs is an empowering choice M auree Tur n er S ta ff R epo rt er @ o c olly

Among the choices of women’s apparel, some articles of clothing represent a deep-seated way of life.

Two Oklahoma women who wear head and neck coverings said they do so to represent their faith in Islam.

Imen Amiri, a speech pathology senior, said wearing the coverings, known as hijabs, is a personal choice and one that shouldn’t be rushed.

Amiri, the cultural officer for the Muslim Student Association at Oklahoma State University, said she was on-andoff with wearing her hijab after first putting it on at 12. She dedicated herself to wearing it, though, at 14 after living in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates for two years.

“When I came here, back to America, and I started growing up and I started realizing the

Iraq and Saudi Arabia are among the countries requiring women to wear hijabs, while France and Belgium banned full veils.

atmosphere and what was going on, this was more of like a political statement for me,” Amiri said.

“Obviously it’s religious first, but second, it’s like I want people to know I’m Muslim. I want that to be the first thing that people think of.”

The word hijab is Arabic for “veil” or “covering” and can refer to wearing a headscarf or covering a woman’s whole body. Many Muslim girls begin wearing hijabs when they reach

puberty.

For Sana Mesiya, a University of Central Oklahoma student, the hijab was part of her school uniform growing up.

“I didn’t realize the importance of wearing it,” Mesiya said. “Everyone else was doing it, and it was just a part of our uniform as girls, but now I do. … It’s a symbol of dignity, honor and respect to me.”

Mesiya said the tradition began in Arabian society as a sign of wealth

and nobility. When Islam was founded, wearing the hijab became open to women of all classes.

Some predominantly Muslim countries, such as Iraq, now require women to wear hijabs, where women must cover their heads and wear loosefitting clothing. Saudi Arabia requires a long cloak for all women and a head cover in public.

Other countries have banned forms of hijabs.

France and Belgium banned the full Muslim veil, and Tunisia, where Amiri’s family is from, has prohibited headscarves and full veils in

public since 1981.

“A lot of people do fear being themselves, and I get that hopefully with things being so open now and people are being more (active) and more just outspoken, hopefully that will give them the power to fight for who they are,” Amiri said.

In a time when women’s bodies are often sexualized, wearing a hijab can be empowering, as it forces society to look past appearances, Mesiya said.

Ultimately, the decision to wear it is a personal decision that should be considered carefully.

“Look deep within

yourself, and really research it and think about it practically, as well,” Mesiya said. “Is this something you will keep up? Because I think it’s better to only start wearing it when you’re ready rather than wear it then take it off and feel conflicted. It’s a very personal and important decision in your life.”

Column: Why we need more women leaders in the media

Sierra Winrow

I’m promoting equality and equal opportunity in the newsroom and contributing to the ongoing fight for more visibility for women in media.”

Sierra Winrow

Ed itor-in- Chi e f @sierrawinrow

When I decided to apply to become the spring 2017 editor-in-chief of the O’Colly, my first instinct was to evaluate my skillset.

Was I going to be able to handle the pressure of leading a century-old organization? Did I have a strong

O’Colly Editor-in-Chief

enough code of ethics to abide by when tough situations came about? The last thing on my mind was the fact that I’d be a woman in a leadership role.

During my time at the O’Colly, we’ve had the pleasure of having a mix of both female and male leaders, all

with different strengths and unique ideas to help shape what the O’Colly is today.

Our end goal was always the same: provide students with a source of information regarding anything concerning Oklahoma State University and Stillwater. I never felt like my being a woman

would hold me back from achieving this end goal, but I did think about how it would allow me to pave the way further for women.

When I think about Women’s History Month, I think about how proud I am to be not just a woman but a woman of color in a leadership role. It shows progress in journalism, a maledominated industry, where men receive 62 percent of the bylines and other credits in print, Internet, TV and wire news, according to the Women’s Media Center.

By stepping into the role of editor-in-chief, I’m promoting equality and equal opportunity in the newsroom and contribut-

ing to the ongoing fight for more visibility for women in the media. I wouldn’t have had the chance to serve in this role 60 years ago, and I wouldn’t today if it weren’t for the rights women and people of color demanded over the years.

Women are making strides toward equality more than ever. In 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to be nominated for president by a major U.S. political party.

At our own university, Erica Stephens became the first black female SGA president in more than 30 years.

To me, this is how to promote change and how to “break the glass ceiling.”

It might be harder to see in the U.S., but there is still inequality for women. We still have a long road toward equal rights for women, especially wage equality and reproductive health rights.

Women’s rights are not only women’s rights, they are human rights that everyone should fight for. As a woman and the editor of a major student publication, I’m proud to contribute to the conversation.

As everyone should.

F em Jams

E n t e r tainmen t

women’s history month jams Hannah E d mo n d s on S taff Rep o rte r @oc o l ly

The female jam has taken many forms across the past century. Lesley Gore’s 1963 bullet “You Don’t Own Me” kicked off a feminist repetoire that has continued to expand, reaching the souls of women through their eardrums. Be it Cyndi Lauper or the Cheetah Girls, female artists have shaped the history of music and the future of femininity.

To get in the girl-power spirit, here are, in no particular order, 10 noteworthy female bangers that succeed in pumping us up and pulling us together.

1. “Woman” — Angel Olsen

This song is slow to start but quick to empower. Olsen’s voice covers feminine terrain with careful crescendos and cutting lyrics, eventually belting out, “I dare you to understand what makes me a woman.” It’s a power ballad that rings fresh and undeniably female.

2. “Rhiannon” — Stevie Nicks

A famous pin in Fleetwood Mac’s cap, “Rhiannon” became concert gold for the mesmerizing stage presence of its singer. With a shawl draped over her shoulders, Stevie Nicks roared the story of Rhiannon, a mythical witch who was as hard to define as she was to forget.

“Wouldn’t you love to love her?” Nicks’ lyrics could easily be about the spooky songwriter herself.

3. “Stronger” — Britney Spears Although Britney penned most of her pop hits for a female fanbase, “Stronger”

undoubtedly pumps the hardest. Women have a history of being underestimated, but Britney pushes us to refuse victimhood (and indulge in a dance break or two): “You might think that I can’t take it, but you’re wrong.” Tell ‘em Britney.

4. “All My Girls” — Daddy Issues

In case the band’s name isn’t an indication, Daddy Issues is an all-girl grunge pop band. The glittery chorus of “All My Girls” channels the solidarity of the Riot Grrrl movement while emulating the giddiness of a slumber party. “I don’t need anyone to help me when I’ve got all my girls,” is a line for the whole group to sing at full volume.

5. “Cheerleader” — St. Vincent

Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, is a guitar-slamming badass in the body of a pixie dream girl. “Cheerleader” proves alternative rock is a genre that sounds (and looks) incredible on its female residents. In her 2011 single, Annie melodically refused to be a cheerleader for the men who held her back; now, she’s a fem rock icon being reimbursed with the praise she once gave away.

6. “Rebel Girl” — Bikini Kill

On a louder note, Bikini Kill spent the ‘90s fighting for feminism in song.

“Rebel Girl” remains a punk battle cry for girls with something to say (or shout).

The all-girl punk ensemble took a harsher approach to girl-geared music, testifying against patriarchal impositions and lauding unsung feminist heroes.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 2017

7. “Independent Women, Pt. I” — Destiny’s Child

Beyoncé seems to have composed the modern fem hymnal, churning out numbers like “Sorry,” “Who Run the World (Girls)” and “Diva.” The feminist tones of her recent hits can be traced back to her days in Destiny’s Child; “Independent Women Pt. I” established Beyoncé’s place on the radio and in the hearts of independent women everywhere.

8. “She Wolf” — Shakira If you had forgotten about “She Wolf” or Shakira altogether, you’re welcome.

This song anchored Shakira’s position as a pop star whose sexiness is backed by a strong sense of self. Shakira is the titular she wolf, choosing her prey and taking no prisoners.

The howls during the song’s chorus are an added bonus.

9. “Don’t Save Me” — HAIM HAIM is comprosed of three Jewish sisters from Los Angeles, each of whom play multiple instruments and contribute to the band’s canon of girl jams. Unapologetically harping on breakups and exes, the Haim sisters echo the sentiments of a female generation tired of timidity. Just as the song’s title suggests, these sisters certainly don’t need a hero.

10. “Respect” — Aretha Franklin Need I say more?

“It has been just a fabulous 47 years, and it’s just so serendipity that we ever met in the first place,” Burns said.

“Somehow the good Lord knew we could make it together, and thank goodness I’ve had the opportunity to be with Ann all these years.”

The couple moved to Oklahoma City and started a family. They raised two children, Matt and Kate.

Ann faced the decision of working long hours as a software engineer or spending more time with her family. She chose to cut down on her work hours and continue with IBM part time.

“I loved being a wife and mother and staying active volunteering, but there was something else in me that needed to be in a professionaltype world,” she said.

“Yet, when you work part time, you don’t have the responsibility that you’d like to have, but those are the choices you make.”

Along with being married since 1969, the Hargises were again united as a team in 2008 – this time in the workplace. Burns took office as OSU president, and the two began efforts to leave their mark on the university.

Ann dove into campus wellness initiatives, following in the footsteps of OSU graduate and donor Bud Seretean.

She and the university sought to fulfill the title of America’s Healthiest

Ann Hargis has pushed for wellness initiatives at OSU.

Campus by creating new programs, such as Pete’s Pet Posse, and the first position of chief wellness officer in the nation.

Todd Misener, OSU chief wellness officer, said the university’s goal is to be the prime example of a healthy campus, and Ann has helped to achieve that expectation.

“She’s just a very compassionate, a very eager, very driven advocate for to see the wellness initiative continue to grow and evolve on our campus,” Misener said. “For us to have the tagline or the trademark of being America’s Healthiest Campus, that could not be possible without the support of leaders like her.”

As wellness programs continue to develop, Ann

remains determined.

She said she hopes the Pete’s Pet Posse program spreads to other colleges, as she recently presented the idea at a national conference in San Antonio. On the OSU campus, she said she could see program expand to horse and cat therapy.

But most of all, Ann intends to follow her lifelong dedications to health, fun and family.

“I’m in this position because Burns is president, so I choose to celebrate it,” Ann said. “I choose to have a really, really good time with it and yet be available.”
