COVID-19 days action Monday, October 4, 2021

containing information about the “key demands” as well as instructions for joining the event were shared through various group chats. Hannah Rath, a psychology major, said the movement was supposed to impact students and faculty. “We were hoping to get a return to spring 2021 social distancing,” Rath said. Additionally, she said the lack of COVID-19 response is putting some students in tough situations. “Many faculty, staff and students have expressed that OSU’s lack of COVID response is making them actively consider leaving OSU, despite never considering leaving prior to the pandemic,” Rath said. “Part of the reason these COVID advocate groups exist on campus is because we want OSU’s environment to be safe enough for students, staff and faculty to feel comfortable coming to school/work without needing to fear for their health and safety.” When it comes to a campus response, Rath said she hopes the administration will show the amount of appreciation and empathy the students deserve.
Oklahoma State students participated in a campus wide event last week to bring awareness to COVID-19 regulations. Last Monday and Tuesday, some OSU students led a movement called COVID Days of Action, which aimed to draw attention to the university’s COVID-19 regulations, and how those students feel the university relaxed its measures too early. The studentled initiative encouraged students to attend classes virtually and professors to hold online meetings rather than in-person instruction. Dr. Kristin Olofsson, assistant professor in the department of political science, said one of her students emailed her, demonstrating their concerns with COVID-19 regulations. “The student described goals of and expressed their dissatisfaction towards the administration’s handling of the COVID-19 situation this fall,” Olofsson said. Infographics were shared via OSU COVID Action Advocates’ social media to give information regarding the event. Posts news.ed@ocolly.com

a law in Oklahoma that was passed in November 2015. Thomison said she wants to utilize college students in particular and partnered with Oklahoma State University to organize a marketing PSA camp for educating college students on the negative effects of texting and driving. “I want college students to know it’s about what they can do rather than what not to do when it comes to texting and driving,” Thomison said. Looking back, Thomison said she has become a better person and has seen a lot of growth within herself after being crowned Miss Oklahoma State University. Thomison said it has taken perseverance and pushing herself to get where she is now; her advice to young girls who are thinking about competing is to go for it. “This organization has taught me to be passionate and to put myself out there; I would have never met the women I have met if I wasn’t a part of this organization,” Thomison said. As for Kayla Loper, the director of the Miss Oklahoma State University pageant, meeting the girls and building relationships with them is the most rewarding part of her job. “The women I see entering this pageant are some of OSU’s brightest; I enjoy being a part of the recruitment process,” Loper said. Loper is originally from Kansas, but has lived in Stillwater and has been the manager of Arts, Culture and Entertainment for five years.
When talking to Miss Oklahoma State University title holders and contestants, bravery and perseverance describes the pageant journey. Julianne Thomison, Miss Oklahoma State University 2020 and 2021, proves this to be true. Thomison is from Tulsa, OK and attended Oklahoma State University to earn her masters in communications. Her love for pageants began when she was 13 years old. “I’ve been competing in pageants since I was 13, so for a decade now,” Thomison said. Thomison said she didn’t grow up in the pageant world, she wasn’t introduced to pageants until one of her friends competed in Miss Oklahoma’s Most Outstanding Teen. In 2012, Thomison was named Tulsa’s Most Outstanding Teen. “My first pageant was a disaster, but from that moment on I fell in love,” Thomison said. In 2020, Thomison was crowned Miss Oklahoma State University, as well as 2021 when the pageant was postponed due to COVID-19. Thomison said it has been a “crazy” two years, and a lot of preparations go into the pageant. “It takes a team; having an opinion on politics and being aware of what is going on around you and translating it to others is extremely important,” Thomison said. “It takes having a servant’s heart and being prepared to give back.” Thomison chose to give back by advocating for anti-texting and driving for nine years and lobbied for See Queens on 2

Queens... Continued from 1 “Prior to this roll, I didn’t have any experience and flew blindly, but I have had great support from families of title holders,” Loper said. “They have helped guide me.” Loper said there are 15 girls competing, normally there are 8-10. Loper said she expects the show to be entertaining because there are more girls. “Audience members are going to see a high caliber of talent and entertainment,” Loper said. Everyone must start somewhere, there are firsts for everything. This holds true for Natalie Leding, a contestant in Miss Oklahoma State University. Leding is from Colleyville, TX and is a junior majoring in strategic communications. The Miss Oklahoma State University pageant will be Leding’s first pageant in 10 years. “I haven’t competed since I was little, and I have never competed in Oklahoma,” Leding said. Leding said she wants to start because she wants to be able to motivate people and spread positivity while also helping her parents who do everything they can to get her through college. Leding said one lesson has stuck out to her the most during her experience. “You are in control of your own happiness, no one else; diving into this world has exposed me to knowing that it is ok to be different and if it is meant to be, it will be,” Leding said. Leding said she does go through hard days, but reminds herself it has shaped her into who she is today. “You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to be you and that is perfect,” Leding said. Leding stays true to herself, especially when she is performing. Leding said she has been involved in dance, cheer, theater and singing her whole life. For Miss Oklahoma State University, Leding has chosen trick roping for the talent portion. “The bright lights, pressure and hundreds of people staring at me makes me so happy and excited, I love performing because I feel God is calling me to do so,” Leding said. Putting oneself out there might be the opportunity they have been looking for, this opportunity came to life for Millie Bryant, who was crowned Miss Oklahoma State University 2022. Bryant is from Athens, Georgia and is a senior studying strategic communications. Bryant is also widely known as Oklahoma State University’s twirler. Miss Oklahoma State University is Bryant’s first pageant. “It’s been an absolute whirlwind, it’s been crazy readjusting to being competitive in baton twirling to this, but I try to compare it to that,” Bryant said. Bryant said her twirling coaches told her she needed to get into pageants. “I always thought I wasn’t cut out for it, but then I just told myself I was going to try, if I don’t place or if I don’t win, that’s totally fine,” Bryant said. Bryant said this experience has been eye opening for her, especially after winning the title. “This experience has taught me that I can do anything I set my mind to, I had a goal and I went for it,” Bryant said. “If I could, I would go back and tell myself it will all be worth it.”

One Puppy Paving the Road to Recovery for Another Puppy Sierra Walton Staff Reporter
Born with upside down paws, Siggi was physically limited from birth with a rare and severe deformity in her elbows. Siggi, a black and white spotted rat terrier puppy, came to the Oklahoma State Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) this May to undergo surgery with hope to leave with the ability to walk. Dr. Erik Clary, a small animal surgeon at OSU VTH, saw this case once before in 2019 when the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine made
headlines with Milo, a puppy with a similar deformity. “Back in 2019, I learned firsthand what ‘going viral’ meant as Milo’s story was picked up from the OSU newswire and distributed across the globe,” Clary said in an OSU news article. “I never expected anything like it, but once it was unfolding, I purposed to deliver the message that as severe as a pet’s condition may seem, it may still be within the reach of veterinary care.” Thanks to the coverage of Milo’s case, the OSU veterinary teaching hospital did that when an animal rescue shelter, Dallas DogRRR, got Siggi. The staff at Dallas DogRRR immediately
turned Siggi to the OSU veterinarian team to achieve a similar outcome as Milo, and give Siggi a higher quality life. “As with Milo, Siggi’s problem looked like it was in the paws but it was actually in her elbows,” Clary said in the OSU news article. “For reasons not fully understood, these patients’ elbows come out of joint early in life and the result is severe rotation of the lower front limbs and an inability to walk. At most, they might muster a crawl that seems most uncomfortable and is poorly suited for a dog’s life.” The OSU veterinarian team at VTH went to work correcting Siggi’s
deformed limbs. After completing surgery, a checkup seven weeks following the surgery proved Siggi’s bones were healing in the correct orientation. “At that stage, the task then became one of teaching her how to walk and she proved a fairly quick learner.” Clary said in the OSU news article. “Lorraine, her medical foster with Dallas Dog RRR, did a fabulous job implementing an incremental rehabilitation regimen that now has Siggi doing many things that puppies like to do, including chasing a ball in the yard.” news.ed@ocolly.com

SFC Welcomes Back a Fellow OSU Alumni! Monica Harden, D.O. is Now Accepting New Patients of All Ages
OUR FINEST HOUR! In the beginning days of the 2nd World War, England was in terrible straits. Nazi Germany had conquered all of western Europe. Only the English channel separated England from the German army. They were being bombed relentlessly. It seemed hopeless. Prime Minister Winston Churchill challenged the people not to give up. He said, “If the British empire lasts a thousand years, may it be said; this was their finest hour.” He said, “We will fight them in the streets. We will fight them in the fields. We will fight them in the hills. We will never give up!” The British won in the end. It was their finest hour!

It is easy to think one’s finest hour is when everything seems to be going well and there is great success, however the depth of a person’s commitment and heart most likely is found during the hard times. Jesus’ eternal exaltation came not from some successful outward exploit, but “but being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name...every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” (Phil.2:8-11) The cross was his finest hour!
The apostle tells us that everything works together for good in the Christian’s life to make us more like Jesus. (Ro.8:28-29) When we have the opportunities to serve in difficult situations; when we face hard decisions and challenges and walk on with God, we are on our way to being conformed to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is time to trust God’s love and faithfulness and walk with him. This hardship may be our finest hour!

Oliver, Brown dominate as OSU stays undefeated Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter Collin Oliver: A+ Collin Oliver was doused with water and Gatorade by his teammates on the sideline.
Oliver sacked Baylor quarterback Gerry Bohanon on fourth and 10 with a minute remaining in the game. In his first start of his Oklahoma State career, the true freshman totaled five tackles, two for loss, three hits on the quarterback, and a sack. OSU secondary: C+ The Cowboys defense only allowed 158 passing yards. However the stat sheet does not tell all. OSU cornerbacks were often beat by Baylor receivers, and safeties were sometimes out of place. Without the pressure applied by the defensive line,
Baylor may have been able to connect on more deep passes. Baylor receiver Drew Estrada caught a 40-yard pass over corner Jarrick Bernard-Converse in the second quarter. Tyquan Thornton caught a 44yard pass which set up a Bears touchdown in the fourth quarter. Jason Taylor, however, had an impact on the game, with a key pass breakup and a tackle for loss. Tanner Brown - A Alex Hale was not the starting kicker for the Cowboys on Saturday. The former junior college and
UNLV walk-on kicker, Tanner Brown, made his first start for OSU. Brown made all three of his extra points and a 20-yard field goal for the Cowboys in their 24-14 win over Baylor. Weather: A+ It was a beautiful night at Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday night in Stillwater. Throughout the game, it was in the low 70 degrees, clouds which blocked the sun, and a slight breeze when the sun went down. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Cowboy defense key in win over Baylor Chris Becker Assistant Sports Editor
those two Baylor drives netted two yards, six plays and both ended in punts. “They had their backs against the wall again. That has happened several times this year. We talk a lot about their discipline and toughness, but also their attitude and focus and body language,” Gundy said. In the first half OSU held Baylor to just six rushing yards, 0-6 on third downs and zero points. Baylor came into the game averaging more than 42 points and 490.8 yards per game. The Cowboy defense held Baylor to just 14 points and 280 yards in large part to a ferocious pass rush, run defense and strong secondary. Clinging to a three point lead late in the fourth the Cowboys defense not just one stop but two consecutive stops without allowing a first down. Following the second stop the Cowboy offense would drive down to ice the game with a touchdown. The Cowboys defense despite injuries at the LEO position was able to stifle a high-flying, hard-hitting Baylor offense to continue the dominance and undefeated season. “We take a lot of pride in (changing the defensive narrative at OSU). Coach Knowles tells us that we should all the time because that’s our job and no one else is going to do it besides us. We take a lot of pride in it,” cornerback Jarrick BernardConverse said.
Collin Oliver came sprinting around the Baylor right tackle. Baylor quarterback Gerry Bohanon stepped up in the pocket as Oliver continued his hunt for the quarterback. Baylor was facing a fourth-and-10 with less than 1:30 remaining in the game with Oklahoma State leading 24-14. Oliver went low around the tackle and grabbed Bohanon by the legs and brought him down to the turf of Boone Pickens Stadium. “He’s going to get to the quarterback a bunch in his career,” coach Mike Gundy said. Collin Oliver was starting his first game as a Cowboy, but has played now in all five of OSU’s games. Oliver was jolted into a starting role after Trace Ford, Brock Martin and Tyren Irby were all injured. Oliver made the most of his opportunity, notching two sacks, five tackles and three quarterback hurries. “He’s going to gain confidence each week,” Gundy said. “He’s holding up OK.” The Cowboys defense were put into difficult situations multiple times throughout the game due to offensive turnovers. Baylor drives started at the OSU 36 and 31 yard line after Spencer Sanders interceptions. In total sports.ed@ocolly.com

the game. The Cowboy defense is near the top. OSU’s defense was the biggest reason the Cowboys took down the Bears on Saturday. The Bears came in averaging more than 40 points per Chris Becker game and more than 400 yards. The Assistant Sports Editor Cowboy defense held the Bears to just 14 points and just 280 yards. The CowOklahoma State found a way to boys held Baylor 3-15 on third downs win, again. with two of those coming in the first The Cowboys took down Baylor drive of the second half. The Cowboys 24-14 in front of a loud Boone Pickens defense has been tested throughout Stadium here are three takeaways from the season being put in bad spots from
offensive turnovers, but they’ve passed every test thus far. Spencer Sanders’ reward is greater than the risk. Spencer Sanders threw three interceptions on Saturday, but he also threw a perfectly placed touchdown to Rashod Owens and ran for 76 yards. The turnovers aren’t good, but his ability to run the ball and still make big plays despite the turnovers make him a viable option. Sanders led the team in rushing against Tulsa and had multiple big runs against Baylor. Rashod Owens has found his
spot in the OSU passing attack. In just his second year with the Cowboys Owens has played all three wide receiver positions in the Cowboy offense. Through that he’s been able to fill in for missing receivers in the Cowboys offense this season. On Saturday, Owens lined up at the X receiver for OSU, and again made plays when his number was called. Owens caught three of his five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. sports.ed@ocolly.com
