Council adopts public smoking rules Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k A full house of Stillwater residents greeted city councilors Monday night as the council prepared to vote on more stringent smoking and tobacco restrictions. The council approved a tobacco-free resolution in a 5-0 vote. The resolution states that outdoor areas within the Stillwater parks system are to be tobacco-free. Before the vote, many residents were present to listen and give their opinions about the proposed restrictions. Randi Eldevik was the first resident to speak with the council. Eldevik spoke in favor of the resolution, but believed an ordinance would better suit the city. “I think the rules should be as stringent as possible, and I would like to go beyond what is being proposed, in fact,” Eldevik said. “The trouble with resolutions is that they have no teeth in them; ordinances do.”
City Attorney John Dorman addressed the council about the legalities regarding the proposed ordinance and resolution. He explained that state statutes limit the city government, and said that if an ordinance were to be approved, it would be limited to prohibit smoking. “(A resolution is) broader, but won’t have the full force of the law,” Dorman said. Dorman mentioned that Oklahoma City approved a similar resolution in 2012, which requests that parks and outdoor areas remain tobacco-free. Thad Leffingwell, head of the department of psychology at Oklahoma State, spoke to the council with the Stillwater youth in mind. “I would argue from the perspective that … tobacco use is adopted by young people, not by adults,” Leffingwell said. “If we can get young people through adolescents and very early adulthood without smoking, they are very unlikely to become smokers.” He argued that an ordi-

nance or resolution would send a message to young people about the dangers of smoking. Resident David Mizelle presented facts about heart disease and secondhand smoke and said that he thought the proposed restrictions would send a positive message. “I frequent the dog parks and public parks
here quite often, and secondhand smoke is just a nuisance to me, my friends,” Mizelle said. “I would like the freedom to breathe in public spaces.” After the vote, the council members agreed that the resolution would serve as a baby step to potential restrictions in the future. After the meeting
adjourned, Councilor Miguel Najera said he believed the council made the right decision by approving the resolution. “I’m glad, I’m excited,” Najera said. “I think this is the best option … giving (residents) an option instead of punishing them right off the bat.”

Expert to speak on marijuana’s effects Stetson Payne @OColly University Health Services is helping community members get schooled in weed. OSU’s Share the W.E.A.L.T.H. will host a speaker from the Drug Free Action Alliance on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Student Union Theater. The topic for the night is “The Naked Truth about Marijuana,” focused on the science behind the drug and its impact on the brain. Tony Coder, assistant director of the organi-
zation, will present the lecture. UHS educator Kari Pratt saw Coder speak at a national anti-drug conference. She decided to seek him out and ask him to come to OSU. “Marijuana has pretty steadily been a common drug for students in the college-aged population, and we’d seen this gentleman present at a conference this summer and really thought he had a great message,” Pratt said. “We thought it would be interesting to have someone from outside the university to come in and present a message, and basically just deliver some information to students.
“I think he can bring a really unique perspective to college students. He’s not going to do it in a manner that’s preachy or telling you what you

should or should not do. He’s just going to present the information to you.” It’s also not geared only toward the student population, but to professionals
as well. The presentation also comes within a few weeks of recreational marijuana being legalized in two additional states — Alaska and Oregon — and the District of Columbia. Coder will also address this trend. “He also spends a pretty significant time talking about … the pros and cons of legalization,” Pratt said. The presentation will also feature door prizes for attendees as an added incentive. Brittney Rochell, OSU communications specialist, said there is not a contract for Coder’s lecture. news@ocolly.com

Witnesses: OSU football players involved in fight at off-campus party Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k Witnesses told police multiple members of the Oklahoma State football team were involved in a large altercation at a house party over the weekend. Stillwater police were called to a house on North Duck Street around 3 a.m. Sunday to assist with a large fight, according to the incident report. When officers arrived, people were seen fleeing the home, and one of the officers said he could see a fight taking place inside the house. Officers entered the house and attempted to break up the fight. After fighting stopped, witnesses told officers that OSU football players assaulted at least three people at the party. Witnesses also told officers that at one point, OSU student Dante Rocco and OSU football players got into a fight for an unknown reason. Rocco was reportedly knocked down onto a couch in the living room and was beaten while lying on the couch. Witnesses said a friend of Rocco’s tried to lean over and protect Rocco from getting punched when OSU football players began punching him. Afterward, the victim complained that his jaw hurt. Multiple people reportedly pushed Rocco into a small room to separate
him from the others inside the house. A source who attended the party told the O’Colly the football players at the party included most of the starting defense. One of the homeowners told officers he had invited 20-25 people to the house after the OSU football game. He said OSU football players were at the party and a number of them were involved in the fight, but

Dante Rocco
couldn’t give the names of the players. He said the north door window of the house was broken during the altercation, presumably by Rocco when he was isolated. In addition, a small medicine cabinet mirror was damaged during the fight. The homeowner said he and his roommates would like to pursue charges on Rocco for breaking the window and mirror. Additionally, an officer wrote that upon his arrival, he saw Rocco shirtless and running directly toward him with “fighting posture” and a towel wrapped around his right hand. When Rocco realized he was running to-

ward an officer, he turned his attention to a female nearby, began yelling at her and looked as if he was going to assault her, the report states. While officers attempted to arrest Rocco, he continually tried to pull away and escape the officers’ grasps and resisted commands to provide his hands to the officers, according to the report. Once transported to the city jail, Rocco began threatening an officer while going through the booking process. Rocco shouted “I will beat your bitch n----ass” and continued to yell “un-cuff me and I will beat your bitch ass,” according to the report. He also told the officer to take off his “gun and badge and then see what happened.” Officers suspected Rocco to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. Rocco is charged with resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by threat. This is Rocco’s second run-in with the law this year. In June, he was charged with possession of illegal drug paraphernalia and pled guilty to the charge in early October. Rocco was ordered to complete a drug and alcohol evaluation, submit to random drug testing for three months and eight community service hours. The homeowner and Stillwater Police did not respond to requests for comment. sports@ocolly.com O’COLLY

Pop Art fashion show puts futuristic spin on the past Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff
It may not be Project Runway, but it is a project, and there will be a runway. Oklahoma State apparel design and production seniors have been working hard to prepare garments for the Pop Art fashion show, which takes place at OSU’s Postal Plaza Gallery on Wednesday at 6 p.m. Mary Ruppert-Stroescu, assistant professor of apparel design and textile science and member of the faculty advisory board for the museum, suggested this chic location because of the upcoming James Rosenquist exhibit. The modernly styled models will strut through the gallery surrounded by large pieces of authentic pop–art. “Artists kind of set the pace for fashion down the line,” Ruppert-Stroescu said. “Soft pop is a strong trend for next summer.” In mid-September, Ruppert-Stroescu assigned her advanced apparel design students three sketches of pop-art garments, one of which to be featured in the fashion show. She said the class discussed pop iconography, made a mood board with directional imagery and even visited the Philbrook museum to help them grasp pop-art and gain inspiration for their designs. The fashion show will channel the mod subculture of the 1950s and ’60s with clumpy eyelashes, bobbed hair and eye-catching

colors — but with a touch of denim and the future’s creativity, she said. Hannah Coury, an apparel design and production senior, said she is making a body suit and white denim vest for the pop–art fashion show. The fabric of her bodysuit is a pattern of intertwined lips and snakes. “My theme is biting words,” Coury said. “My parallel is society and how they take words and twist them.” Another senior, Danielle Dear, said she is also designing a jumpsuit and jacket. She describes hers as more punkish, urban wear. “I am a little more rock ’n’ roll than most people,” Dear said. After the show, the fashion designers will receive a grade on their completed garment; one that RuppertStroescu said will be based

Postgame alma mater tradition in question Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim
RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY
The OSU football team does not typically sing with the student section after a loss.
‘Gotta get in the locker room, talk to Coach Gundy. That’s been the routine. ... Usually after the games (we lose), we all have upset players.’ OSU LINEBACKER RYAN SIMMONS, on whether the football team should sing the alma mater with fans following a loss
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2014
After Oklahoma State lost on Senior Night against Texas on Saturday, fans stood in the cold as the players walked to the locker room. Once the final whistle blew, the Cowboys shook hands with Longhorns. Some were friends, former high school teammates who embraced and took photos together. That was the end of OSU’s postgame activity on the field. It didn’t include the postgame singing of the university’s alma mater, which any fans who did not leave Boone Pickens Stadium early joined each other arm in arm for. It wasn’t until recently the conditions of players singing the alma mater came into question. On Oct. 25, West Virginia spoiled the Cowboys’ homecoming game in a
O’COLLY
34-10 win. Most of the fans left early until the crowd size resembled that of Orange Blitz, OSU’s substitute for a spring game, in April. It was the Cowboys’ first home loss since Oklahoma beat them in 2013, and as they did after Texas won Saturday, OSU’s players forwent singing the alma mater with fans and headed straight to the locker room. “Not if we lose,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “I didn’t set that standard. I just do what they tell me to do.” Former coach Les Miles began the tradition of players and coaches singing the alma mater in front of the student section after wins in 2002, according to OSU’s athletics website, okstate.com. There are 25 words in OSU’s alma mater, which is played or sung after all athletic events regardless of the outcome. Seven stand out: “Ever you’ll find us, loyal and true.”
Players don’t think too much of it. However, punter and kicker Kip Smith said he could understand fans’ frustrations. “I could see that, especially since a lot of people travel,” Smith said. “But, to my knowledge, we don’t sing the alma mater at home. I wouldn’t know.” Linebacker Ryan Simmons is also rooted in the tradition Miles started. He said it’s more important to address any problems after a loss than to sing the alma mater with the fans. “Well that’s something that we’ve always done. I don’t think we’ve done that in any of the games we lost at home,” Simmons said. “Gotta get in the locker room, talk to Coach Gundy. That’s been the routine. “Usually after the games (we lose), we all have upset players. I think we do the alma mater after we win, so I’m not really sure how they (fans) may feel, but it’s something that I have to follow along and

do what coach Gundy tells us to do.” The football team isn’t the only one to not sing the alma mater after a loss; the basketball teams also follow this routine. However, not every team avoids fan interaction after a loss. A trip to the Cowgirl Soccer Complex at a home game confirms it. The Cowgirls lost three soccer games at home this season, including a 1-0 loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Arizona. After every loss, the players shook hands with players from the other team. What happens next is different from Miles and his players or Gundy and his have done. The Cowgirls don’t sit down
in a circle and listen to coach Colin Carmichael talk to them about their shortcomings and accomplishments. First, they lead the fans in the alma mater. “It’s important, obviously, because women’s sports don’t get that much love as football or basketball,” goalkeeper Rosa Medina said. “So it’s important that we appreciate their attendance and support, because it makes a big difference during the game.” The Cowgirls had 534 fans on average in attendance at home games this season. The football team had an average of 54,387 fans at six home games. The numbers are hardly comparable. Regardless, Carmichael said appre-
ciation for the fans is still important. “I remember the days where people were bringing up lawn chairs and it was kinda like a club soccer game,” Carmichael Up Next vs. Against: Baylor When: Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Where: Waco, Texas TV: FOX
said. “And now at Bedlam games, we’re getting over 2,000 people. “It’s something that we started a few years ago,
going over to the fans, waving, clapping and letting the fans know we appreciate them coming. … It is a way to interact a little bit. … We go out there to make them proud.” Some fans believe the football players should do more to appreciate the fans, regardless of the game’s outcome. That’s what the phrase “Loyal and True” is about, said John Pickard, a physiology junior. “To me, it means having pride in your university and its teams,” he said. “No matter the circumstances. I’d definitely like to see athletes practice loyal and true also; it’s good to see that in them.” Pickard, who has seen the Cowboys lose four
home games in his time as a student, also said he finds it a letdown that some teams don’t sing the alma mater with the fans after the game. “It’s definitely disappointing,” Pickard said. “I’ve stayed in the past, and when a fan will stay the whole game but they (athletes) can’t stay five minutes after to sing the alma mater, that’s very disappointing. “It almost leads to me not wanting to stay for the whole game, even when we’re getting blown out.” Physiology sophomore Kevin Varela echoed Pickard’s view of the term “Loyal and True,” and that football players should stay for the alma mater after a loss.
He said if he were a senior, he wouldn’t want a loss to get in the way of him singing the alma mater one last time as a football player. “I could see where you’re coming from, where you wouldn’t want to sing after a loss, especially on senior night,” Varela said. “I understand that. If they don’t want to, that’s fine. “But that’s a tough thing. I think it’s really personal preference on that one. Everyone feels different about one thing or another, and when you’re a senior, it means that much more to you. Even if you’re a junior, you don’t fully understand it. It just has that much more meaning to it.” sports@ocolly.com

New women’s rights group seeks passionate members Montinique Monroe @iAmMontinique
His passion lies in gender equality, which is why he is one of seven students who chartered the Women’s Programming Advisory Council. Ivan Flores, the organization’s vice president, began his activism career in high school. He was heavily involved in Making Her Story, a youth group dedicated to empowering women and discussing feminism. Lindsay Brown noticed his involvement and asked for his help in chartering WPAC. Brown serves as coordinator of Women’s and LGBTQ Affairs in the Office of Multicultural Affairs. The council formed when two similar groups consolidated. The OSU Women’s Resource Center and OSU’s National Organization for Women chapter combined because of their similar missions and overlapping membership. As a freshman, Flores plans to continue advocating for women’s rights. He said the council stresses the importance of advocating for all women. “Often times, when someone thinks about feminism, it’s just about middle class white females,” he said. “It’s not just them. It’s also women of color, women from

“It needs to be an inclusive movement. The movement is definitely still going.” Rebecca Ortiz, the group’s president, said there are obvious minority groups on campus, but she wanted to become involved in bringing awareness to issues that women experience as minorities. “If you are an ally to women, and I mean a real ally, proactive ally, not someone that just says, ‘Hey I have a sister, I have a mom’ . . . It’s more than that,” she said. “If you’re passionate about women’s issues, if you have thought about and considered how gender shapes and really dictates a lot of our experiences as individuals, join us.” WPAC will host its next meeting on Jan. 22. The organization is holding auditions for The Vagina Monologues this week. news@ocolly.com

POINT GUARD U? Juwan Evans next in line as OSU’s floor general Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen
Travis Ford is building a dynasty. No, it’s not one that consists of tournament runs and championships, but Ford is crafting perennial success in a more feasible measure. That comes in the form of point guards, where Ford is doing the legwork to build on an already impressive resume of floor generals at Oklahoma State. The most recent player on the list is Juwan Evans, a five-star recruit from Dallas who signed with OSU last week. Evans is listed as the third-best point guard in the nation by Scout.com and is considered to be the fastest recruit in America. “Consummate point guard,” Ford said. “I think he’s the best in the country, and a lot of other people agree with me. “There are other gurus out there who may have seen him once and another guy three or four times, and they like him better … if you watch him over a period of time, he’s a game-changer. He’s that good. He’s really, really special.” Marcus Smart, who went No. 6 overall to the Boston Celtics in last year’s NBA Draft and is arguably the best player in OSU history, is the obvious highlight of Ford’s point guard track record, but it started before Smart. Byron Eaton wasn’t an
All-American like Smart, but he was a solid leader who helped Ford get to an NCAA Tournament in his first year at OSU. Eaton averaged 14.3 points and 5.7 assists as a senior that year, and Ford said he already sees similarities between Eaton and Evans. “He’s not as thick as Byron, but they’ve got similar type games,” Ford said. “He may shoot a little better than Byron, maybe. Byron was a special point guard ... There Up Next vs. Against: Milwaukee When: Friday at 7 p.m. Where: Gallagher-Iba Arena TV: Fox Sports Southwest
are a lot of similarities in how they run a team.” After Eaton, the Cowboys lacked a rock solid point guard until Smart ushered in a new energy in 2013 and propelled OSU to a No. 5 ranking at one point in his sophomore season. This offseason, with Smart gone and backup Stevie Clark dismissed after off-the-court trouble, Ford went searching for a suitable successor. He found his answer in Anthony Hickey, an LSU transfer who led the SEC in steals as a sophomore. Hickey was on the outs at LSU after disagreements with coach Johnny Jones
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2014
over classroom struggles and missed practices. Hickey was eligible for immediate eligibility thanks to the NCAA’s “Run-off ” waiver and fell in love with OSU. “It’s a basketball state,” Hickey said. “They go to the NCAA every year. Great coach. They called me this summer, like, ‘Hey, we want you. We need a point guard. Is you up for that role?’ I flew down here, checked out the campus, loved it ... I had a long talk with Coach Ford. He said if you come here, it’s a new start.” So far, Hickey has answered the bell. He has taken over as a team leader and become a valued addition to Ford’s squad. “Being a point guard, a leadership role is pretty much just assigned to you,” center Michael Cobbins said. “You have no choice but to take on that role, and he’s done pretty well.” Some aspects of Hickey’s game have even put him in the same conversation as Smart. “Anthony Hickey is one of the better defensive point guards I’ve been around, and I coached a pretty good one the last couple of years,” Ford said. Ford also signed junior college transfer Jeff Newberry and New Orleans star Tyree Griffin in the 2014 class. Hickey’s father, Anthony Hickey Sr., said Ford’s reputation as a point guard coach is part of his recruiting success. Ford was an AllSEC point guard during his college career at Kentucky under coach Rick Pitino.
“What Marcus did, that tells you (OSU is) guard’s country,” Hickey Sr. said in a June interview. “(Ford) is a point guard’s coach.” Griffin has already made his mark at OSU and has taken over the backup spot behind Hickey. With the addition of Evans, Ford plans to have a ferocious point guard tandem for the foreseeable future. “I’m just falling in love with Tyree Griffin,” Ford said. “I’m just falling in love with him. So now we’ve got two really elite point guards on our basketball team, and you have to have that.” sports@ocolly.com
