Art Exhibit evokes emotions about Native Americans

BY Sa r ah St ewart Staf f reporte r

Stillwater is getting a taste of the vital and prominent role women play in indigenous cultures.

Oklahoma State University’s Museum of Art is housing “From the Belly of Our Being: art by and about Native creation” until Jan. 28. In the exhibit, contemporary Native American female artists provide insight into how the women in their creation stories continue to influence women, shaping what is considered feminine behavior and gendered roles.

Twenty artists contributed to the exhibit, exploring and expressing the effects their

tribal feminine forces have on them personally through their artwork. The art includes sculpture, painting, ceramics, jewelry and installation, which incorporates the site or display into the piece.

Artist Cara Romero said in her tribe, Chemehuevi, women are taught their strength as women and lifegivers is all-powerful. Her tribe raises women to believe they are respected as equals.

In the exhibit, Romero used her art to promote the values of respect, love and beauty that the women of her tribe’s creation narratives believed in.

The art is also a way for

the artists to remain connected to the feminine forces of their tribe and to help others do so, as well.

Oklahoma State Museum of Art

Stillwater native Anita Fields, known for her representations of cultural ideals and items, hosts workshops

in which participants create a human figure that represents a woman who impacted their lives in a significant way.

In one such class, a participant, Julie Teubner, teared up as she created her clay art.

“This is a woman, and she’s not one woman,” Teubner said. “She’s several women that influenced my spiritual life.”

Fields said she shared Teubner’s emotion, recognizing the effect of consciously observing and thinking of the women who have played important roles in their lives.

“A simple activity of making something out of clay can spark those remembrances and feelings,”

Fields said. “And as an artist, you’re constantly doing that, constantly going to that place of memory to re-create something, or just how can we express it.”

A calendar of various programs related to the exhibit is available at museum. okstate.edu/exhibitions/bellyofourbeing.

look at other colleges in the area and identify the gaps that need to be filled to effectively serve the community.

“We’re really trying to look at this in a datadriven way as to what programming exists and needs to exist in the Tulsa market,” Fry said.

“What’s most popular, most viable, most needed — we’ll continue to work on that.”

The analysis is in its beginning stages, and Fry said it will be a few weeks before OSU receives the initial results.

Closing the gap

Sandefur said one issue the administration needs to work hard at is making sure OSU-Tulsa resident faculty feel as if they are a part of OSU-Stillwater.

“I think going forward, we all think that having the provost at OSU-Tulsa also having an appointment at OSU-Stillwater will improve the channels of communication and make it easier for the two campuses to cooperate with one another,” Sandefur said.

Since she took on her new role, Fry has worked to individually meet with all OSU-Tulsa faculty, which is about 60 people, and said she plans to conduct student focus groups.

She said she also hopes to get input from students involved in organizations on the OSU-Tulsa campus about academic changes they would like to see.

Barnett said Fry brings relationships with administrators in Stillwater,

OSU-Tulsa has hired a consultant to analyze what degree programs are vital to the Tulsa marketplace. Pamela Fry, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, said the data will help the university better serve the Tulsa community.

which will potentially help the administrations at each campus establish better working relationships with each other.

“With Dr. Fry now over there two to three days a week, we’re not out of sight or out of mind, and we’re at the table,” Barnett said.

He said the biggest issue is OSU-Tulsa being represented when policy discussions are taking place.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2017

“Some things that work in Stillwater policy-wise, may not work here,” Barnett said.

For example, Barnett said he had to request an exemption from block tuition rates at the OSUTulsa campuses because most students take only six to nine credit hours at a time. Forcing students to pay for 15 credit hours would have put him out of business, he said.

“Hopefully, now with

Dr. Fry, she would be at the table with that issue early on, and that would never come up,” he said.

The vision

When OSU-Tulsa opened, former OSU President Jim Halligan’s vision was to have 20,000 students enrolled at the campus by 2020.

With its current enrollment at 2,400 students, it’s unlikely the campus will meet the proposed

OCOLLY.COM

goal.

“That was my vision at the time, and indeed the probability it will be realized by 2020 is indeed remote,” said Sen. Halligan, R-Stillwater.

Halligan said he supported the creation of OSU-Tulsa because he believed OSU needed a “vibrant” presence in Tulsa for the city to succeed.

“In order for Oklahoma to succeed, both Tulsa

and Oklahoma City must succeed— they are the economic engines of the state,” Halligan said.

He said he believes making OSU-Tulsa larger is one of the keys to Tulsa’s growth and prosperity. In the future, he would like to see more of a focus on biomedical engineering and majors tailored to healthcare, he said.

“That, to me, is a real opportunity for the future,” Halligan said.

Likewise, Barnett envisions OSU-Tulsa growing and accommodating younger students.

“I see (OSU-Tulsa) growing,” Barnett said.

“And I see our student body, if we do this right, maybe getting a little bit younger.”

He said no further administration changes at OSU-Tulsa are being discussed.

Although it might not be feasible to enroll 20,000 students at the Tulsa campus in four years, OSU administrators are undoubtedly hoping these changes will help spur revitalization at OSU-Tulsa.

“I don’t know that we’ll ever have 20,000 students there,” Sandefur said.

“Right now it’s viable. It’s OK. But I think we can make it a vibrant, alive place.”

Zipcar Deal brings convenience to OSU Students BY lu ke Garz a Sta ff Reporter

Students no longer need their car to escape the confines of campus.

Oct. 3, Oklahoma State University announced its partnership with Zipcar, a car-sharing network.

Zipcar has two cars on campus, a Ford Focus hatchback and a Ford Escape. Both are available all day, every day.

The partnership comes at no cost to OSU. The only thing it loses: two designated parking spots for Zipcar’s vehicles.

Two cars for thousands of carless students doesn’t MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2017

seem like much, but Steve Spradling, director of Parking and Transportation Services, said if the service succeeds, more cars will be provided.

Spradling, though, has reason for skepticism.

OSU had a partnership with another car-sharing company before Zipcar, but it had limited success. Cars’ batteries died between uses, creating an inconvenience for people who scheduled to drive them.

“It went over real good at first,” Spradling said. “But then there were issues with the cars not staying charged well, so people started losing confidence in them.”

This time around, Spradling said he believes the combination of newer technology and a better marketing strategy will help the service succeed. He also recommended Zipcar vehicles have periodic maintenance checks.

A representative from Zipcar did not reply to multiple requests for comment.

College campuses are easy to navigate on foot, but if students have an interview off-campus or need to go to the store to purchase food or clothes, not having a car puts them in a bind.

Peter Cahoon, a mathematics and statistics major at OSU, had a Toyota Co-

rolla before it was totaled.

He then bought a used car only to have it break down on him shortly after.

“If there’s something really interesting going out way into town or you want to go to Walgreens to pick up something that’s not sold here, then you’re going to have to walk,” Cahoon said.

“That takes time, and you’re going to have to schedule that.”

OSU students can pay a $15 fee to become members of the service. After the initial payment, rates start as low as $7.50 per hour and $69 per day. Insurance and gas are included. The service allows students to

OCOLLY.COM

reserve a car for as little as an hour or up to a week before returning it.

Cahoon said not having a car saves him money on insurance and gas, but he would use the service a few days out of the year if he needed to go far off-campus for something.

“Everything I need is within walking distance, but everything I want needs some wheels to make it comfortable,” Cahoon said.

“I have no problem walking.

I’ve walked forever.”

Not having a car undoubtedly puts students at a disadvantage. The time, energy and stress when planning a ride or leaving early to

walk could be eliminated if students take advantage of the newly added service.

“I do know that we have a lot of out-of-state students and even international students that don’t bring a vehicle to campus, so it’s just another option for them,” Spradling said. “It’s gonna give them another opportunity.”
