Manzer teaches last class, leaves lasting impact zach h ak e news editor @ z ach_hak e

Lee Manzer smiled as he opened a photo on his computer.

“You know who’s coming to my class Friday?”

Manzer asked Josh Wiener, the department head of the School of Marketing and International Business at Oklahoma State University.

“You’re going to think this is neat.”

Manzer pointed to a woman in the photo and turned to Wiener with an ear-to-ear grin.

The photo showed Manzer and his wife Saundra

with their three children, Bryndon, Brandye and Britton, at Manzer’s induction into the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame.

WHAT IS VALUABLE? (Part #3)

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”

(Mt.13:44 NIV) First of all, it seems that this man is not looking for a treasure. He stumbles across it, but in so doing, he sees the great value of what he discovered.

In our society, because the Christian message has been around for many years, there is a tendency to not value God’s offer of an eternal kingdom.

It has become just a religion with a certain creed with outward rituals.

With this attitude, it is easy to not give it the preeminence that we should. We put temporary, urgent things in the forefront of our lives and minimize the most important. What a great mistake.

This man saw the great value of MONDAY, MAY 7, 2018

“Has she ever been?”

Wiener asked Manzer.

“Never,” Manzer said.

After more than 40 years of Manzer’s teaching career at OSU, Saundra was

finally going to attend one of his lectures.

Manzer frequently tells his students stories about Saundra and their kids, but Friday was the first time students were able to put a face to the stories.

Friday’s classes marked another milestone for the Manzers.

Manzer will retire in August, and unless his summer course fills up, Friday marked the last time he will teach a class at OSU. Manzer began teaching at OSU’s business school in 1975, serving in a variety of positions such as Director of Graduate Studies, Head of the Department

of Marketing and student adviser. His primary focus has always been teaching, though.

Born in Hominy, Manzer came to OSU in 1959 and studied chemistry and mathematics. His dedication to teaching sprouted after a two-year mission trip with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to Washington, D.C., where he discovered his passion for people.

After later taking a position as a chemist at Dow Chemical in Michigan, Manzer realized he wanted to teach and accepted a call to instruct a marketing class at OSU in January

1970.

“During that time, I always wanted to teach, and my experience in (Washington) D.C. taught me that,” Manzer said.

“I thought it’d be nice to teach people who are interested in what you had to say. I thought that was college students.”

what he found and sold all he had. The temporary things became secondary, and he bought the field including the treasure. What is in the field besides the treasure? Many things! Our life span has many temporary challenges, disappointments, and hindrances. There are situations that arise that we never expected. However, if we see the value of the treasure that we have found in Christ, we can persevere. We can overcome cynicism, passiveness, discouragements and temptations. We can trust the one who walked this way before us, and fully overcame; Jesus Christ. “...for the Joy (treasure) that set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Heb.12:2b NIV) Jesus saw the many who would believe, see the value of the salvation of God, and follow him. The price he paid was worth the kingdom he would open to all.

We can follow his example!

games for nearly 30 years, said though he enjoys scoring the games, the true gift isn’t his great view of the action.

“I said, ‘I’ll tell you what the biggest thing is,’” Manzer said. “It’s when I’m sitting right here, and three seats down, Bryndon is doing the game looking just like that. Now that’s something.”

Although being the official scorer is just something Manzer does on the side, he said some of his favorite memories are of watching his son Bryndon play on the historic court.

Bryndon, a former OSU basketball player under legendary coach Eddie Sutton, frequently appears on ESPN and was previously

a Big 12 Network analyst, handling pregame, halftime and postgame television assignments. Bryndon primarily works as an investment advisor but said he loves working games at GallagherIba Arena with his father.

“It’s just icing on the cake when I’m doing games in Stillwater and my dad is there,” Bryndon said.

The hourglass Manzer and Larry Reece sat on the sideline of Eddie Sutton Court in GallagherIba Arena.

The two have worked hundreds of games together over the years, and Reece said Manzer’s impact on OSU is nothing short of remarkable.

“I call him legendary,”

Reece said. “He’s probably the most popular professor that I’ve ever known of. He’s one-of-a-kind. He’s one of my favorite people, and I think Oklahoma State’s just been blessed to have him all these years.”

Manzer and Reece have the same birthday, Feb. 19,

and have had hundreds of life talks over the years.

During these talks, Reece said he realized what a great storyteller Manzer is.

Reece, the public address announcer at OSU basketball games, turned to Manzer, who has been a mentor and a friend to Reece

for years.

“Dr. Manzer, it seems just like years are flying by, faster and faster,” Reece said.

Manzer chuckled and pondered for a moment.

“Larry, I figured out life is like sand in the hourglass,” Manzer said. “When there’s a whole bunch of sand up at the top, it looks like it’s going real slow, but you start to get less and less sand up at the top of that hourglass, and it looks like it’s going 90 miles an hour.

“That’s life.”

The first pitch Manzer wasn’t worried about his arm.

Manzer was a fast-pitch softball player when he was younger, so when he was

asked to throw out the first pitch at the OSU baseball game April 17 against Oral Roberts, he was ready.

Just to be sure, though, Manzer went outside the Business Building under the shade of the trees near Old Central to practice for his big moment.

The follow-through was there, the leg kick was working and his form looked good to go.

Brandye, Manzer’s youngest daughter, said there was something she had to tell her dad before he threw out the first pitch. The Manzer family has always been sarcastic, Manzer said.

“The family has two requests before you throw out that first pitch,” Brandye said. “One, don’t hurt STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 4

yourself. And two, don’t embarrass the family.”

As he walked off the front of the pitcher’s mound at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium after throwing a nice fastball to junior right-hander Joe Lienhard, Manzer had fulfilled both requests.

He waved to the fans, smiling, as usual.

The grandkids For the Manzers, God comes first, family comes second and OSU comes third.

As Manzer approaches retirement, he said he plans to continue using his free time to advise businesses and speak at events, but most of all, he plans on spending it with his family.

“We see our family a lot,” Manzer said. “We don’t have any drama.

(I’m excited) to support the grandkids more.”

Saundra said she sees a lot of Manzer’s qualities in their grandson Brooks, Bryndon’s oldest son.

At church, Brooks walks up and down the aisles, shaking hands both young and old.

“Hi, how are you doing?” Brooks says with a smile.

His love for people is infectious, Saundra said, but it’s not the first time she’s seen it in this family.

“They’ve got that gene,” Saundra said.

“The rest of us just kind of stand back. I just looked at him and MONDAY, MAY 7, 2018

thought, ‘My goodness, it’s another one. It’s another clone.’”

Manzer and Saundra don’t travel much, but Saundra said that might change now that the two will have plenty of time to go places. Saundra and Brandye are avid St. Louis Cardinals fans.

“I’d like to go to spring training with the Cardinals,” Saundra said. “I’ve been worried about a cruise, but I think I might just go for it, even if I get motion sickness. If we don’t try it and I don’t do it, who knows, maybe we’ll love it.”

The last class Manzer’s 9:30 a.m.

Intro to Marketing class started off like all the others.

Students filed in, taking their seats as Manzer talked to students in the 8:30 a.m. section who stuck around after class.

In this last class before finals, Manzer went over the rest of the information his students would need for their big exam.

With about 20 minutes left in class, a group of special guests entered the room. Students began to whisper and look at the special guests, but Manzer kept teaching, wrapping up one of his last lectures with the same sarcastic humor he’s known for.

“Class, I’d like you to meet someone special,” Manzer said. “My beautiful wife Saundra is here for the first time along with our children

Britton, Brandye and Bryndon and our awesome daughter-in-law Janie.”

The class applauded as Manzer hugged Saundra in front of his podium.

“You guys have heard me talk about her once or twice, right?” Manzer said jokingly.

Saundra is the subject of several of Manzer’s stories, and she answered their questions.

“Yes it’s true,” Saundra said. “I do have a Coke every morning.”

The class laughed as she went on to tell about how Manzer proposed and how the two met.

Manzer then introduced the class to Zach Hake/O’COLLY his children, who all Lee Manzer and his wife, Saundra, joke with his students at Manzer’s last class at OSU on Friday. thanked their father and wished his class the best.

“He really loves you guys,” Britton said.

“That’s why he’s been doing this for all these years.”

“That’s true,” Manzer said.

Manzer thanked his students, whom he jokingly calls the ‘troops,’ as they came up one by one to shake his hand for the last time.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better father,” Britton said. “He’s not just a great dad and professor, he’s a great man, too.”

Manzer smiled and hugged Brandye.

“Life is good, ain’t it?” Manzer said.

calf fry 2018 draws attention to stillwater ta elor co n n el l

entertainment editor

@tae m con n el l

Tumbleweed manager Philip Randolph said Calf Fry 2018 was a continuation of what they’ve always done.

Saturday, the last day of Calf Fry, Randolph said he estimated Calf Fry to bring in close to $800,000 of revenue for the event alone.

“It’s a tradition for Stillwater,” Randolph said. “A lot of people that went to school at OSU look forward to it and come back. “It’s kind of like a last big party before the semester is over.”

Tumbleweed organizes the show and reaches out to performers based on whom they want to visit and who is available.

“I always try to put local guys on the shows,” Randolph said.

Calf Fry gives many local businesses opportunities to peak their sales. Restaurants, clothing stores and hotels often find a lot of business during the weekend. Many residents who invite people from out of town want to show their friends and family what Stillwater has to offer.

“You can’t find a hotel room in not only in Stillwater, but a lot of times you can’t find a hotel room in Guthrie or Perry either because so many people are coming in from out of town,” Randolph said.

Calf Fry peaks not only MONDAY, MAY 7, 2018

Fans gather on Day 1 of Calf Fry 2018 at Tumbleweed.

business sales but also interest in new trends.

“Everybody buys new outfits to go to Calf Fry and goes out to eat,” Randolph said. “It brings a lot of additional revenue besides the event itself.”

KH BBQ food truck owner Susannah Stephens has multiple restaurants in Muskogee but takes a break during festival season to travel to several festivals. She said she’s been doing the food truck circuit for about 13 years.

Her food truck has been featured at multiple state fairs and other events such as Calf Fry. They travel throughout Oklahoma as well as other states.

Part of the fun of Calf Fry is getting the full experience.

Attendees are encouraged to try the famous festival’s namesake. Calf fries are made out of bull’s testicles and are fried.

During Calf Fry, the food truck cooks up to 2,000 pounds of bull testicles each year. Stephens said they don’t serve the snack in her restaurants but do cook them

for certain events.

For those who didn’t want to venture to try calf fries, the food truck offered burgers, walking tacos, barbecue sandwiches, curly fries, soda and water.

Their staff is normally small, but they hired additional staff to meet the demands of insatiable Calf Fry customers. They’re known to hire Oklahoma State students majoring in the food industry to help take care of the large number of customers Calf Fry draws in.

Ash and Jessie Jones gave an exclusive pass into their experience as VIP attendees.

They traveled from Southeast Oklahoma to get the Calf Fry experience.

“My favorite part is the experience we get to share together because it is always something we will look back on,” Jones said.

‘beerbongs & bentleys’ doesn’t meet expectations A dam Luthe r staff reporter @adamwlut h er

Lacking a fresh sound from his debut album, Post Malone didn’t deliver on the hype that surrounded his second album’s arrival.

Certain tracks from Friday’s release will make a splash on the radio and online streaming services, if they haven’t already. But overall, the album is mid-grade. It fails to reach the highs of his 2016 album “Stoney” with the same frequency.

Another issue with the album is the best songs were released as singles long before the album. This led to more disappointment on release night, especially for an album teased since late 2016.

The subject matter of the album is a mix of Malone’s usual sorrowful songs and braggadocious bangers about his fame and fortune.

The album opens with “Paranoid,” a song desperately trying to be a pop hit. It failed to grab my attention.

The second track, “Spoil My Night” featuring Swae Lee, offers a promising combination on paper. Swae’s opening verse is flat, with a flow that never feels comfortable. Post’s contribution to the song is decent, but he can’t overcome the song’s poor beginning.

Swae Lee’s guest appearance isn’t the only poor one on “beerbongs & bentleys.”

Malone opens with a strong MONDAY, MAY 7, 2018

The Come Up Show/Flickr

Post Malone’s ‘beerbongs & bentleys’ released Friday. It features 18 songs, including ‘rockstar’ and ‘Psycho.’

chorus and verse on “Ball For Me” only to have Nicki Minaj’s guest verse ruin his effort.

“Same B*****s” featuring G-Eazy and YG is another song with potential that doesn’t seem to ever get over the hump. YG’s contribution in particular is mediocre, wasting a decently catchy hook from Malone.

“Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage, “Candy Paint” and “Psycho” featuring Ty Dolla Sign are three of the top-five songs on the album. Unfortunately, all three already made the rounds on streaming services within the past year.

They have been beaten to death by now.

“Takin’ Shots” is a catchy drinking song ready-made for pregame playlists.

“Blame It On Me” is the only song in which Post vocalizes with the emotion of his earlier hits “Hit This Hard” or “I Fall Apart” from “Stoney.” On it, Malone laments how his fast lifestyle has caused him to make some harsh choices. His vocals have an autotune distortion

that is used to perfection in the song. Malone has co-production credit on the introspective track, along with Louis Bell.

Length was not a problem on “Stoney,” with its 18 tracks providing a perfect amount of depth as Malone showcased a diverse sound.

Malone wasn’t afraid to get emotional, either.

On “beerbongs & bentleys,” that same length hurts Malone. A lack of deep cuts causes the project to drag on in stretches. Far too many songs have similar sounds and lyrical premises. The album lacks the raw emotion of his earlier releases.

Ultimately, this album will perform well with the casual and soft-core hip-hop crowds, but it lacks the depth to be a truly memorable album with replay value. It wasn’t worth the wait.
