OSU or CSI: Professor conducts paint analysis research for criminal investigation Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

Forget watching CSI — forensic work is happening right here at Oklahoma State University. In 2006 Barry Lavine, a chemistry professor at OSU, was approached by a man named Scott Ryland from the Orlando crime lab and asked to begin scientific research on paint samples and pattern recognition techniques for investigative work. Since then, Lavine has began his student-involved research at OSU and scored two grants from the National Institute of Justice, with a third one on the way. The lab has pulled in about $1.2 million in grants. Lavine’s research has had a nationwide impact on criminal investigation. “When you have a car accident, a hit and run, a clear coat (of paint) is

transferred,” Lavine said. “A lot of times, that is all you get.” Before this research began, investigation was based solely on the colored paint. Sometimes, however, there is not enough color pigment to reference it to color standards. The group has used infrared spectroscopy, which uses wavelength to study and analyze the paint. It also uses computer programs Lavine designed to prove that information can be gained from the clear coat. The group uses computer technology to isolate different layers of paint from infrared images. This information can then be used to help track down the paint involved in criminal investigation — and ultimately the criminal— in a more timely fashion. A lot of the work involved in the project is simply to speed up the process of both paint and clear coat analysis, Lavine said. Before this, if they did

not have colored paint, they had nothing to go on. Students have been extremely helpful and active in this research, he said. Although most of the experimental research has already been completed, students are still tweaking his computer programs and performing analysis on the results. Matthew Allen, a computer science sophomore, has been assisting with research since the summer of his freshman year. “This is decomposing very complex problems into simple solutions instead of the busy work you get in classes,” Allen said. “It is amazing.” Collin White, a fifthyear analytical chemistry graduate student, has been working on this research since the beginning of the year and said he gets a lot of help from Lavine. “This is the biggest project I have ever had,” White said. “It is pretty exciting when I get good results.” White said he works

with the pattern recognition software and that the experience will be included in his dissertation. Experimental work began at OSU in 2013 and will be ongoing thanks to the grant money the

United States Department of Justice provided. “We needed to buy an (infrared) microscope and support more students,” Lavine said. “The grant money has provided everything that was needed.”

Lavine said the students involved are contributing to research that will make up the next generation for microscopy in forensic analysis. news@ocolly.com

Stillwater residents strive for a smokeless community Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k Restrictions on smoking and tobacco use could soon become more stringent in Stillwater. The Stillwater City Council has permitted the creation of an ordinance that would ban the use of tobacco products within 50 feet of playgrounds, picnic shelters and ballfields. The council will later decide whether to approve the ordinance. At the city council meeting Nov. 3, members of the Stillwater Wellness Committee presented facts about tobacco trying to persuade the council to create a ban and adopt a “gold standard” ordinance. The gold standard ordinance would prohibit the use of smokeless tobacco products on all city owned and operated property. The city also has the option of implementing a “basic” level ordinance, which would prohibit smoking on all of its owned and operated property. Suzy Harrington, Oklahoma State University chief wellness officer; Becky Taylor, OSU tobacco prevention coordinator; and Julie Croff, an applied health and education psychology professor at OSU, have been discussing the issue with city councilman Miguel Najera since midsummer. Najera said he approached the group after learning about other cities around the state that have

taken the initiative to become smoke-free. Forty-two cities in Oklahoma have already adopted a gold standard ordinance, according to information presented by the Stillwater Wellness Committee. “We, as America’s Healthiest Campus, cannot even get our city to apply for (the title) ‘StateCertified Healthy Community’ because we don’t have an ordinance,” said Harrington, who spoke at the council meeting. Although there is no official way to rank the health level of a college campus, Harrington said in October that OSU trademarked the phrase “America’s Healthiest Campus” as a way of becoming closer to that goal. If a gold standard ordinance is approved, the City of Stillwater will be eligible for $120,000 in grants for wellness projects from the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust, Taylor said. The city will be eligible for $20,000 if a basic ordinance is passed. Najera and Harrington agree that even though the grant money would beneficial, the main focus is the health of the community. “To have our community also be tobacco-free will be wonderful for our students and our employees in that we can go out and be smoke and tobacco free out in our community, in addition to on campus,” Harrington said. She argues that an ordinance would increase the health and economy of the Stillwater community.

KAYLA HODGIN/O’COLLY

The City of Stillwater is considering an ordinance that would ban smoking within 50 feet of city owned and operated property.

She said the amount of deaths caused by tobaccorelated diseases per year in the state of Oklahoma is equal to the amount of students in the 2014 freshman class at OSU. Harrington also said tobacco use costs each Stillwater resident $700 per year for lost productiv-

ity and health claims. Najera said although an ordinance is possible, the council is more likely to approve a resolution. A resolution, unlike an ordinance, would not be lawfully enforced and would instead only encourage residents to abstain from tobacco use.

O’COLLY

“I think we’ll see a benefit either way,” Najera said. “We’re very close to getting something on the books.” The City Council will discuss the issue at its next meeting, Nov. 17 at 5:30 p.m. Both Taylor and Harrington encourage students

to attend the meeting. “Be politically active if you feel one way or another,” Harrington said. “As America’s Healthiest Campus, we’ve been able to reach for the gold, and we’d like our community to reach for the gold.” news@ocolly.com PAGE 3

The bye week gave players like Emmanuel Ogbah needed rest.

OSU’s matchup with Texas is what many considered before the season to be the Cowboys’ last winnable game on their schedule. But with the 33-16 win over West Virginia on Saturday, the Longhorns are looking more threatening than they did just a couple months ago. OSU coach Mike Gundy said Texas’ improvement hasn’t come as a surprise to him. “From an outsider looking in, their quarterback has gained some experience,” Gundy said. “They have good players. They’re still

big, strong and fast and can run and make plays.” Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes was only 11-of-29 yards against the Mountaineers, but Texas’ defense kept wide receiver Kevin White from scoring, while defensive end Cedric Reed had 12 tackles and three sacks in Saturday’s game. GOOD BREAK The Longhorns’ defense could easily stifle an OSU offense that has been ineffective in its last three games, but offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said the bye week has given coaches extra time to prepare. “Anytime you get an off week, what we want to do is take a real good look at yourself and self-scouting,”

Yurcich said. “We were able to do that and also try to get a head start on the Texas game plan. (We) try to establish that game as early as possible to implement it into practice so you can try maximize your repetition of the plays you’re going to run on the (November) 15th.” For players, the week off was a chance to relax a little. Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said the team needed the break. “The best part was the rest,” Ogbah said. “We really needed that rest because a lot of guys played a lot of snaps.” ROLAND BACK, DOING BETTER OSU running back Desmond Roland is expected to return Saturday against

Texas after missing the Kansas State game with the death of his mother. Roland will join the team’s other seniors in their last game at Boone Pickens Stadium. The Cowboys’ running game, which managed 112 yards rushing against the Wildcats, could use Roland as a counterpart to Tyreek Hill. Gundy said Roland appears to be doing well since returning. “He’s back and with the team, which I think is the best thing for him,” Gundy said. “In my opinion, when you have a situation like that, the sooner you can get back into an everyday lifestyle is beneficial.” sports@ocolly.com

Sterns’ dedication to learning goes beyond time with Cowboys

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

Jordan Sterns had 20 tackles in OSU’s 34-10 loss against West Virginia on Oct. 25.

Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim Jordan Sterns doesn’t have the speed of Tyreek Hill; nobody on Oklahoma State’s football team

comes close. Watching the film after the Cowboys’ 34-10 loss against West Virginia backs that statement. But a closer look at Sterns, a sophomore safety, proves he plays as if he was Hill. “If you watch the tape, when the ball’s not even

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2014

on his side, just watch his cleats,” defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. “Watch his cleats turn over and how fast they’re going all the time.” OSU’s loss against the Mountaineers on homecoming weeks ago was the team’s second straight, and

the performance sent fans to their cars, tailgates and homes early. They had grown sick of watching the offense sputter, scoring on two consecutive drives and then failing to do anything more. WVU didn’t pull away until the end, when the Cowboys’ Daxx Garman threw an interception that would be returned to the end zone. The game was close, primarily, because of Stern’s hustle on the field. Twenty tackles is the type of individual performance that can anchor a defense for that long. “It was really a blur,” Sterns said. “I was kind of shocked when people told me. I just wanted to fly around. Last week, I feel like I floated too much. “Today, I just wanted to go out there and play with an edge. My teammates did a good job of keeping their guys contained, and I just did my job.” OSU coach Mike Gundy wasn’t as thrilled about Sterns’ stats. Not because of his effort, but because they existed in the first place. “Too many tackles for a safety,” Gundy said. “We’re aware of that.” Had things gone differently for Sterns before coming to OSU, he might not have had the chance to make 20 tackles. Sterns’ quick rise to starting for a young OSU secondary — he’s the only

O’COLLY

underclassman in college football this season to make 20 tackles in a game — came years ago at Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas. Like linebacker Josh Furman and cornerback Ramon Richards, Sterns hasn’t always played on defense. He was thrown into the role. Steele’s coach, Scott Lehnhoff, was the offensive coordinator when Sterns played there and had more experience with him than any secondary coach or defensive coordinator had ever had. “Jordan actually started out as a running back; he played there his freshman year, and I think junior high and his youth career leading up to it,” Lehnhoff said. “As a sophomore, he played fullback for us on a state championship team.” Sterns’ first position change was for good reason; Malcolm Brown, a Texas running back, and current Texas Tech running back Justin Stockton were in the backfield. Add in a dual-threat quarterback in Tommy Armstrong Jr., and there wasn’t much room for Sterns’ ability to run the ball any longer. That led to the second position change, one of an entirely different nature. “All of the staff, we talked to Jordan about switching over to defense,” Lehnhoff said. “So

he went to safety in the spring of his sophomore year.” Sterns struggled at first, as most players who make position changes do. That didn’t change the way he approached practice or any other part of the sport. Ask Ryan Simmons, OSU’s middle linebacker and a former player at Steele, about Sterns’ work ethic. You’ll find out quickly it is omnipresent and has stuck with him from position to position, from high school football to Saturdays on national TV. “He would come up there trying to talk to the coaches and he’d be in the weight room lifting,” Simmons said. “He was definitely a motivated young guy. He just wanted to be around this. “Nothing has changed with Jordan. He’s always been hungry.” That hunger drove Sterns to slowly improve in his new position until it was as if he’d always played safety. Lehnhoff said Sterns came about his junior season, and from there it only got better. In his senior season, Sterns’ stat sheet piled up. He had 58 tackles and six interceptions, two of which he took to the end zone for touchdowns. The Associated Press See STERNS Page 9 PAGE 5

Q&A: Jeremy Seaton manages fullback, tight end duties Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz You play both tight end and fullback. How’d you develop that versatility? Jeremy Seaton: I couldn’t even tell you how that came about, honestly. Whenever I came here, I was a tight end. That’s what I was expecting to play, just tight end. Whenever I got here, I realized that I could maybe play a little bit of fullback. After begging (OSU running backs coach Jemal) Singleton to throw me back there a couple times, he finally gave a chance in practice, and the rest is history. For you, what’s the biggest difference between those two positions?

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

In addition to being a capable blocker, Jeremy Seaton has four catches for 54 yards this season.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2014

Seaton: Really, they’re a lot alike. The only thing is at tight end, you’re on the ground; you’re a lot closer to those defensive ends. They have less moves to make whenever you’re that close. I think tight end’s a little bit easier for me ’cause whenever you come across and you’re trying

O’COLLY

to hit one of those ends, they have all of the bag of tricks that they have, all of their moves, so when you’re a tight end, you kind of take away some of those. Does playing both positions ever get complicated for you? Seaton: Sometimes. We have a lot of calls for the same plays, but they’re completely different for the two positions. There are some times whenever I’ll line up at position and I’ll hear that call and I’ll think of what I’m supposed to do for that other position first, but as I’m lining up, it starts to just come together, and you know where you’re supposed to go. Offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich has called you one of the more important players in the offense because of your versatility. What does hearing that mean to you? Seaton: That’s nice to hear, but I don’t know if that’s true. There’s definitely a lot of guys on the team that are making a lot more plays than I am. In practice, how much time do you spend at tight

end compared to fullback? Seaton: It’s kind of 50-50. At the very beginning, a couple of the individual periods, I’ll go to tight end, and then I’ll come back to fullback. Then, the second half of practice is all team, so I’ll just jump between both positions and kind of just trade out. What’s the key for you and your teammates to beat Texas on Saturday? Seaton: Honestly, just going out and executing our assignments that we have, not doing anything more than what you’re supposed to, and just doing the assignments that you have to do. That’s really all we need to do to win. sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Texas When: Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m. Where: Boone Pickens Stadium TV: FOX

Cowboys searching for leadership Dekota Gregory @dekotagregory Oklahoma State will feature a plethora of new faces this season, but three familiar names will help teach newcomers the winning tradition of Cowboy wrestling. Returning All-Americans Alex Dieringer, Josh Kindig and Austin Marsden will look to take over the leadership positions of the young team. “We do need that leadership,” coach John Smith said. “Between (Dieringer) and Kindig and Austin Marsden.

“We need to see that leadership.” Dieringer will be the only returning national champion this season after an impressive run last year in the NCAA Tournament. “Obviously you get a lot more confidence after you’re on top, but Coach always tells me it’s the second one that’s even harder, so I’ve just got to keep training hard,” Dieringer said. That work ethic is how Dieringer plans on taking hold of his newly given leadership role. “I lead by example,” Dieringer said. “I don’t talk very much. I just lead by example.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2014

“I work hard and do extra workouts so they follow me by doing that.” Dieringer and Kindig, who finished runner-up at 149 pounds at the NCAA Championship in 2014, have already made an impact with their way of steering the team. “Everybody wants that competiveness from Kindig, and everybody wants the hard work from Dieringer,” sophomore Nolan Boyd said. Boyd put together a solid resume last year at 184 pounds. As a freshman, he tallied a 29-13 record and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after finishing second at the Big

12 Tournament. Although Boyd has already made a name himself, he doesn’t feel like he’s ready to guide the team. “I haven’t done much yet,” Boyd said. “There’s not really a reason for them to follow me.” Fellow sophomore Anthony Collica also accomplished an impressive rookie season. Collica claimed a Big 12 title at 141 pounds while compiling a 31-9 record. He will move up to 157 pounds this season, and is already trying to make an impression on his younger teammates. “I’ve been trying to work hard in the room,”

Collica said. “I try to lead by example.” The Oklahoma State team will be filled with talent and potential this season and could find more success than expected if a strong leader arises. sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Northeastern Oklahoma A&M When: Sunday at 4 p.m. Where: Miami, Okla.

Big 12 Roundup: Baylor, TCU make statements against KSU. Week 12: Bye 5. Texas 5-5 (4-3) The Longhorns picked up a big home win, beating a ranked West Virginia team 33-16. Texas had a good performance from running back Johnathan Gray, who had 10 carries for 101 yards and three touchdowns. With this win, the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game against Oklahoma State becomes huge for both teams as a win will mean bowl eligibility for the winner. Week 12: at Oklahoma State

With a 41-20 win against Kansas State, TCU jumped into a potential playoff spot in the new College Football Playoff rankings.

1. Baylor 8-1 (5-1) Baylor walked into Norman and dominated the Sooners on Saturday, winning 48-14. No. 6 Baylor had a huge game from quarterback Bryce Petty, who completed 76 percent of his passes for 387 yards and a touchdown. The Bears are heading

into a bye week before playing Oklahoma State on Nov. 22. Week 12: Bye 2. TCU 8-1 (5-1) The No. 5 Horned Frogs made slight work of No. 13 Kansas State, taking out the Wildcats 41-20. TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin got the job done with his arm and his legs, having 342 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns. While the Horned Frogs should not get

ahead of themselves, they have a significantly soft last three games of the season and have their eyes on a playoff spot. Week 12: at Kansas 3. Kansas State 7-2 (5-1) The Wildcats did not live up to the hype on Saturday getting crushed by No. 5 TCU 48-14. A big part of this debacle was that Kansas State only gained 34 rushing yards as a team. KSU fell to No. 13 in the AP Poll and will look

to regroup going into a bye week before a Thursday night game against West Virginia on Nov. 20. Week 12: Bye 4. West Virginia 6-4 (4-3) West Virginia fell apart in Austin on Saturday, losing to Texas 33-16. With this loss, the Mountaineers dropped out of the AP Top 25 with just two games remaining on their schedule. WVU is also heading into a bye before the Thursday night game

6. Oklahoma 6-3 (3-3) Oklahoma got embarrassed at home against Baylor on Saturday, losing 48-14. This loss dropped the Sooners out of the polls, but perhaps the biggest loss was that of quarterback Trevor Knight, who got carted off of the field with an injury. OU will have to figure out its quarterback situation on the fly as it travels to Lubbock to play Texas Tech this Saturday. Week 12: at Texas Tech 7. Oklahoma State 5-4 (3-3) The Cowboys are coming off of a bye week as they look to end their three-game losing streak. The Pokes are still searching for one more win that will give them bowl eligibility, but with a strong performance by Texas on Saturday, this win looks even harder to capture.

OSU will face the Longhorns this Saturday where the winner will go to a bowl game and the loser likely will not. Week 12: vs. Texas 8. Kansas 3-6 (1-5) Kansas was able to get its first Big 12 win on Saturday as the Jayhawks beat Iowa State 34-14. Following the game, the KU student section stormed the field and tore down the goal posts to commemorate its first conference win. This celebration will be shortlived, as the Jayhawks will face off against TCU on Saturday. Week 12: vs. TCU 9. Texas Tech 3-6 (1-5) The Red Raiders had last Saturday off. Tech has three games left this year and bowl chances are slim to none with opponents like Oklahoma and Baylor awaiting them. With that said, the Red Raiders do have a chance to pick up another win against Iowa State on Nov. 22. Week 12: vs. Oklahoma 10. Iowa State 2-7 (0-6) Iowa State lost on Saturday to Kansas, 34-14. With this loss, the Cyclones became the first Big 12 team that has no chance at a six win season and a bowl game. The Cyclones will have the week off before playing Texas Tech on Nov. 22.

Sterns: the sophomore safety played in the backfield in high school before switching to defense

From Page 5 Sports Editors selected him to the Class 5A all-state first team, and he also earned defensive MVP honors in his district. Now, Sterns is starting on a Divison I football team and leading it in tackles. But Lehnhoff isn’t surprised. “I’ve watched him play quite a bit on TV, and he’s always around the football,” Lehnhoff said. “I think he’s disappointed that he dropped some

interceptions this year, but I tell him, ‘Those things will come, man. They’ll slow down and will come to you.’ “He’s got a nose for the ball and enjoys the physical part of the game.” Sterns has had to be a leader this season. Larry Stephens, who originally started alongside Sterns, has been out with an Achilles injury since a Sept. 25 game against the Red Raiders. Sterns said it was devastating for Stephens, who tore his ACL against Mississippi State in the 2013 season opener and missed the entire year. As Stephens recovers and tries to return to the field, Sterns now plays with redshirt freshman Tre Flowers at safety and

true freshman Ramon Richards, who also took over when a teammate went down with injury against Texas Tech, at cornerback. Both Sterns and junior cornerback Kevin Peterson

easier. Lehnhoff said it speaks to the type of person Sterns was at Steele, both on and off the field. “He was a mature kid; one of those kids who kinda always seem older

‘He’s got a nose for the ball and enjoys the physical part of the game.’ SCOTT LEHNHOFF, Steele High School football coach

have been thrown into more of a leadership role than before. Sterns has taken it in stride; for a player who’s seen two position changes, one gradual and one sudden, it comes

than everybody else,” Lehnhoff said. “He’s very wise to how the world works, and I think that helped him become a leader of our program. I think he’s been a leader up

at Oklahoma State’s program, even in his young career. “Both years now, he’s been selected to the leadership council. It says a lot about him, and I’m very proud of him for that.” Now, as the Cowboys’ losses pile up and a trip to a bowl game seems more and more in doubt, Sterns and other leaders echo the same words week after week. “We have to bounce back,” Sterns said. “Me and my teammates need to get back together, talk about the game today and let it go, just like last week. After that, all we have to do is come back out next week ready to play.” Regardless of whether the Cowboys can get

that elusive sixth win and guarantee a game past Bedlam on Dec. 6, Spencer has been pleased with Sterns’ development. Heading into the next few years, he could improve as fast as the feet that carry him on the field. To Spencer, the young safety is the type of player he wants on his defense: Determined and playing with a lot of heart. “By how he plays, you can see inside his heart,” Spencer said. “He’s going to get nothing but better. Some guys, you just don’t know. “And I know he’s the kind of kid that’s going (to) just improve and improve.” sports@ocolly.com

Constituency days the heart of SGA interaction Stetson Payne @OColly While the Midterm elections may be over and the political storm in Oklahoma has subsided, there is one more big election for Oklahoma State this week. This Tuesday and Wednesday is Student Government Association’s annual Constituency Days. Paired with senate and executive elections for the organization, the event is a chance for those involved to give back to their community and hear what students want to see change at OSU. SGA will be set up outside the Student Union at Chi O Clock talking to the student body and conducting elections both days. Oh, and members will also be giving out free Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches. Senate Chair Clint Duncan, a finance and commercial bank management major, explained the goal of Constituency Days at the event. “Constituency Days is a chance for SGA to promote ourselves, and it coincides with the college elections,” Duncan said. Elections will also be held on laptops on site so that you can meet your representative, grab a free chicken sandwich and vote in the election all at once. Voting is also available online at sga.okstate.edu. Members will be handing out information on voting and meeting with students from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the Student Union.

Victor Ndirite, statistics and finance senior, hands out fliers.

“This way we can attract some students over here to get their views, opinions and concerns about what’s going on here at Oklahoma State on campus,” Duncan said. “It’s a big promotion event.” Senate seats are up for grabs in these elections, so everyone is encouraged to come out and vote for their representative in their respective living group or college. Student Government Association handles a lot for the university, especially with other student organizations. SGA also acts as a watchdog for the student body. If an issue concerning any thing from basic student rights, safety, or other hardship arises, SGA can put the wheels in motion to change things for those on campus by sending recommendations to executive offices of the university and Stillwater City Council, as well. “City Council and especially the Board of Regents respect our opinion,” Duncan said. This has been the case for several topics recently, such as safe lighting near the entrance of the Aspen Heights neighborhood, prohibition of e-cigarettes on campus, and the expansion of Safe Walk

to university approved housing such as the Greek Village or nearby apartments. “It’s up to us to, on a day like Constituency Days, to talk to students, ask them questions, and get their opinions,” Duncan said. Constituency Days is dedicated to enable that interaction, and promote a conversation about what needs to be done, what is being done rightand what needs to change. “You can talk with your friends and complain and post on social media, but that’s not going to get anything done,” Duncan said. “So this is your opportunity. Take advantage of it.” Student Government Association will still hold its normal 7 p.m. meeting in Case Study 02 Wednesday as the semester’s session winds down before winter break. news@ocolly.com SGA meetings
