Hispanic Student Association celebrates culture, tradition Alyssa Gregory @AlyssaMGregory

Lively music, bright colors and spice-infused dishes were some of the samplings of Hispanic Heritage Month. Beginning Sept. 15 — the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries — the fiesta lasts until Wednesday. About 6 percent of the Oklahoma State University’s student population is of Hispanic descent. The month highlights their culture. “Hispanic Heritage Month provides the opportunity for people to learn about the many aspects of our beautiful, multifaceted culture,” said Lorena Mayorga, a communication sciences and disorders junior. “It enables students to experience another culture right here on campus.” The Hispanic Student Association hosted several events throughout the month to celebrate Hispanic

traditions, including a mariachi band performance. It also participated in the Fiestas de las America, a festival held on Sept. 27 to celebrate the mutlicultural heritage in Oklahoma. Thirty HSA members entered a float in the parade and won the Higher Education division for its fourth consecutive year. On Wednesday, Latino Live will wrap up the month-long festivity with traditional music, food and activities. The event starts at 6 p.m. at the Murray Parlor and Patio, which is on the corner of Monroe and University. Family is one of the most important parts of Hispanic culture. “The Hispanic Student Association made me feel welcome my freshman year, and over the years the members have grown to become my family,” said Jennifer Perez, four-year member and current HSA president. Become a part of the HSA family by contacting Brenda Morales at 405744-6538, following HSA

Curiosity drives OSU professor’s research Bailey Powell @OColly I have a question. This statement has been the driving force behind Polly Campbell’s career as a zoology professor. When Campbell was in her mid-20s, she worked as a zookeeper, where she noticed the bats would segregate themselves into smaller groups within the larger group. Perplexed, Campbell took the next natural step: research. She headed to the Harvard University Library. Neither she nor

the librarian on staff could find a single journal on the species of bats at the zoo. That’s when Campbell had her “ah ha” moment. “I realized there was so much that’s not known,” she said. “That’s what has kept me excited about science for many, many years — the simple act of identifying questions that are interesting.” This quest for information led Campbell to a doctorate from Boston University. With a continued love for bats, her doctoral research project took Campbell to Malaysia. She studied bats in their natural habitat. She was

looking for an answer to how a population’s genetics were related to their environment. Campbell worked on a few post-doc projects after graduating before she

KAYLA HODGIN/O’COLLY

Polly Campbell

came to Oklahoma State University for her first professor position and a new animal to work with. She now studies the

mice behavior. One of her focuses is what happens on a genealogical level when different species cross breed. Most mammals take in two copies of DNA — one from each parent — and the dominant gene is what will show in the mammal. But Campbell looks at about 150 genes that are expressly shown. This means the animal may get two genes, but one is completely dominate. This “silencing” is caused by methylation, a chemical modification that blocks transcription, the first step in gene expression. Campbell is cross-

breeding different kinds of mice such as the common house mouse and an Algerian cousin. This cross breeding is the first steps to deciding what happens to the brains of hybrid mice, as their imprinting process has been disrupted. Once she has concrete information from her test, these results may lead to answers for us humans. We also experience the same disrupted imprinting problems. Her research is far from over, but this is an exciting field with a lot of room for questioning. news@ocolly.com

Is Ebola a threat on campus? Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

The Center for Disease Control has confirmed your worst fear — that Ebola has officially reached the United States. Ebola is a virus that causes viral hemmorrhagic

fever disease, one that is often fatal to humans. It is spread among humans via contact with the blood or bodily fluids. Despite the Twitter, Facebook and other social media frenzy, it turns out that contracting Ebola is not a big threat to Oklahoma State University, and there is no reason to be alarmed.

From ocolly.com

Sure, you may have Ebola if you have been coughing, but more likely it is the common cold. Sure, you may have Ebola if your stomach has been hurting, but it could also be that Crunchwrap Supreme you ate from Taco Bell at 2 a.m. Sure, you may have Ebola if your eyes appear red, but you could just be tired from all that late night studying.

Although the United States has indeed received its first case of a travelassociated Ebola diagnosis, the likelihood of an outbreak here is extremely low. The only grounds for concern are if you and your West Africa-visiting roommate share the same razor and both suck at shaving, you and your West Africavisiting significant other

Ebola is transmitted only through direct contact with the blood or bodily fliuds of an affected person.

exchange sloppy kisses or if you dress up as a vampire for Halloween and actually start sucking the blood of some tasty West Africavisiting person. Keep in mind that in each scenario, one of the participants must already be infected with Ebola. What are some of the things that are more likely to happen than you getting ebola? 1) Getting an A on every exam your entire college career. 2) Not waiting in line for food at the Student Union during lunchtime. 3) Not seeing orange on campus any given day of the week. 4) Not owing the bursar’s office any money. 5) Pretty much every other thing. “I have Ebola,” said no one on campus ever, just for your information. Although Ebola is a very serious threat in West Africa and should be taken seriously, as long as OSU students remain aware they can rest assured that they will not be getting Ebola. If you would like more information about Ebola, University Health Services provided the following link: http://uhs.okstate.edu/ ebola-outbreak WHAT IS EBOLA? Ebola virus is the cause of a viral hemorrhagic fever disease. Symptoms include: fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, lack of appetite, and

abnormal bleeding. Symptoms may appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, though eight to 10 days is most common. HOW IS EBOLA TRANSMITTED? Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected symptomatic person or though exposure to objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected secretions. CAN EBOLA BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE AIR? No. Ebola is not a respiratory disease like the flu, so it is not transmitted through the air. CAN I GET EBOLA FROM CONTAMINATED FOOD OR WATER? No. Ebola is not a foodborne illness. It is not a water-borne illness. CAN I GET EBOLA FROM A PERSON WHO IS INFECTED BUT DOESN’T HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS? No. Individuals who are not symptomatic are not contagious. In order for the virus to be transmitted, an individual would have to have direct contact with an individual who is experiencing symptoms.

OSU App Center competition returns Evan Kiely @OColly Come up with an app idea. Maybe you’ll get a job. The Oklahoma State University App Center is taking applications for its third-annual competition. Deadline for idea submissions is Nov. 3, 2014. Last year, computer science sophomore Marcus Andreo Gabilheri finished with one of the top 10 app ideas and won $500. Ganilheri entered the competition despite just two years of programming and telematics experience.

The competition gave him an opportunity to develop his skills. Winning got his name out there, and he soon landed a job, Gabilheri said. Winning the competition also helped give him a resume boost and better understanding of computer science. One year later, he has the advice for those thinking about entering this year’s competition. Computer science professors and staff from the App Center and technology center could always help with development of an app or app idea. “Don’t be afraid…[and] don’t wait till the last week to start working on

an idea,” he said. “I lost a lot of sleep.” The App Center is currently in Phase I. During this step, the program receives ideas from contestants — team or single member. The phase began Sept. 23. CSAA Insurance group and AAA Oklahoma are sponsoring the competition, themed “Insurance Telematics.” Insurance telematics is the use of data to enhance the insurance experience, said Brady Culbertson, OSU App Center business intern. The concept should help prevent accidents, get ready for catastrophes, encourage better driv-

ing, prevent home damages and reduce injuries overall. Students, faculty, staff and alumni are encouraged to participate. Teams that enter and win will divvy up the prize money among their members. Prizes will be handed out to the top 10 ideas selected on Nov. 14. The top 10 ideas will receive $500. From there, the top 10 will have until Nov. 20 to submit a storyboard. The next day, each team or individual contestant will have two minutes to present their idea to group of judges. Judges will include OSU App Center and

OSU technology center representatives, as well as representatives from CSAA Insurance group and AAA Oklahoma. That day, two contestants or teams will be selected from the top 10 and will receive $750, totaling $1,250 in prize money. Prize money is awarded via check. Phase II details have not been specified, but will take place next semester. This will be the development stage. The app center will work with ideas from Phase I. Computer developers programmers are encouraged to help with Phase II.

Carmichael finds French gem in Tresfield Dekota Gregory @dekotagregory

TREVOR GREER/O’COLLY

Laurene Tresfield has started every game for the Cowgirls since coming from France in July.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2014

Oklahoma State linebacker Josh Furman traveled from Annapolis, Maryland, to become a Cowboy, but that distance doesn’t compare to Laurene Tresfield, an Oklahoma State soccer player who joined the team in late July from Roissy-enBrie, France. “I made the decision to come here to OSU because I wanted to discover a new type of soccer and also learn better English,” Tresfield said. Oklahoma State coach Colin Carmichael took notice of the 5-foot-6 defender in December at a showcase event in France. Carmichael has a history of recruiting international talent in the past, and he felt that Tresfield was the missing piece to the Cowgirls’ backfield. “Hearing about (Tresfield), she kind of fit what we were looking for,” Carmichael said. “A bigger, stronger kid that can play defender or defensive-mid, so I went and watched her play and thought she was very good.” After discovering Tresfield’s talent, Carmichael’s next task was to get the French recruit to Stillwater. As an international recruit, Tresfield was unable to make an official visit to Oklahoma State, but she was able to use the Internet to research the

O’COLLY

university. “I chose Oklahoma State because Coach Colin is good, and I thought the university was good,” Tresfield said. Tresfield’s arrival to Stillwater quickly aroused many obstacles for both her and the OSU coaching staff. Tresfield, who speaks very broken English, would meet and play with new teammates and coaches — none of whom spoke French. “From our standpoint, yes (the language barrier is the biggest adjustment), because obviously it’s tough to communicate at times,” Carmichael said. “Just different cultures, different teammates, different style of play, just being away from family. “There’s so many different factors.” Tresfield was forced to adjust to the American culture on the fly, beginning practice as soon as she stepped foot on campus. But the defender made an immediate impact for the team. Tresfield started at defender in the season opener at Oklahoma and has started every game of the season thus far. The Cowgirls started the 2014 campaign on a slow start, losing their first six games, which may have been a new experience for Tresfield. In 2012, Tresfield led FC Juvisy Essonne to an Under-19 French championship and finished second the next two seasons. She was also a member of the French Under-17

National Team, where she earned two caps in 2011. When Oklahoma State finally captured its first two victories of the season in mid-September, it left a smile on Tresfield’s face. She smiled even more in a 2-0 win against Dayton on Sept. 28. Sixty-three seconds into the match, Anna Beffer sent a cross through the box and found Tresfield. The newcomer took the pass in stride and immediately tapped the ball, which traveled past the goalie and into the back of the net for Tresfield’s first career goal with the Cowgirls. “I feel happy,” Tresfield said with a grin. “I feel very happy, and I was proud of my team.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Oklahoma When: Friday at 7 p.m. Where: Cowgirl Soccer Complex

Health help: OSU offers classes, counseling Bailey Powell @OColly “I don’t have time to work out.” “I’ll just make it up for it next time I go to the gym.” “I’ll just stop by McDonald’s before class. That would be more convenient.” “That won’t happen to me. “ Anyone ever thought something like that? If you have, you’re not alone. Time is one of the biggest excuses experts in the health field hear. Students often struggle to find enough time for everything already on their plate. Whether this is work, studying or resume-building activates. The responsibilities add up. This leaves little time for a person to take care of him or herself. However, students could develop more energy and better all around health by working out 30 minutes a day. GET ACTIVE Jeanne Croka, assistant director of the Colvin Center, walks her dog every day to stay fit. She points out that physical fitness at any level can help a person live a better life. “I think it just helps you live your life whole-heartedly,” Cronka said. Students can begin with choosing the stairs over the elevator, walking instead of driving, or even just taking a longer route to class. Anyone who wants to kick it up a notch can try

out any of the classes offered at the Colvin for free. These classes include Yoga, Zumba and CORE, an abdominal workout class. For a complete list of classes and times, visit wellness. okstate.edu. GET HELP Students who are a little hesitant about going to the gym may find it helpful to bring a friend. Agriculture senior Peter Laurence-Owen and finance senior Davis Johnson can attest to the benefits of bringing a friend to the gym. “I think it’s easier because we can keep each other accountable,” LaurenceOwen said. “It’s easier to stay motivated because you have someone to talk to along the way.” As helpful as it is to have someone to help motivate you, it may be even more important to have someone to talk to when you are trying to learn a more healthy eating choices. Oklahoma State offers consultations for $15 for any student or $25 for employee who would like help with healthy eating. Since 1991, nutrition counselor Elizabeth Lohrman has guided people to eating right through eating a variety of foods that are less fried and more nutritional. She also works to make healthy living something that is sustainable. Healthy meal-planning isn’t meant to take out yummy cakes and cookies; it is meant to put those things in perspective with the other foods that we eat.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2014

“Treats in moderation are part of a healthy normal meal planning,” Lohrman said. “Moderation is key.” LOOK AROUND CAMPUS Take time to plan your meals. This will give you a better idea of what you are eating, and what the nutritional value is of those foods. For those who don’t have time, this doesn’t mean you can’t eat healthy. University Dinning Services serves freshly made sandwiches, fruit, salads and other grab-and-go items at Twenty-Something, the Union Express, and Adam’s Market. These are quick, cheap items that can refuel quickly without hurting your health. These items are labeled with “Choose Orange” stickers. The sticker symbolizes that the food is in line with the American Heart Association’s guidelines for healthy eating. The sticker is even found on more than the quick grabs. It also labels snacks, drinks and anything else foodrelated that is healthy. HAVE FUN, BE SMART Whether you are eating better or starting a new exercise program, the key is to enjoy what you are doing. “Do something that you can do for the long run,” Lohrman said. If you enjoy it, you are more likely to make a lifestyle change that will benefit you for the rest of your life. Having a healthier lifestyle can become much more difficult if a person is

battling nicotine addiction, prescription drug use or alcohol abuse. Becky Taylor, Payne County tobacco coordinator, is working with the campus to make the environment a safer place. She often works with the city as well to implement more educational resources. “We’re at about a 23 percent prevalence rate in Oklahoma, which is better than Oklahoma has ever been,” Taylor said. “But (smoking) still has a lot of devastating effects on people’s lives and on the community” Lung cancer alone killed 159, 260 people last year, according to cancer.org. Students are encouraged to contact the tobacco health line at 800-7848669 for resources to quit. DRINK RESPONSIBLY While some students struggle with tobacco, others are struggling with alcohol.

O’COLLY

Payne County lost 40 lives in alcohol-related crashes between 20072012. Not only did the families of those who lost their lives suffer, but also the person who provided the alcohol may have been affected as well. A person who hosts a party where minors drink alcohol can become liable if a minor gets in a car wreck. The social host law was put into effect in 2006 after a 16-year-old boy was killed after a night of drinking. The law charges the host of the party with a first offence felony if a minor in their care kills someone else or dies as a result of an alcohol-related crash. “Part of our job to is to help people make smart choices,” said Chuck Lester, the grant coordinator for the Strategic Prevention Frameworks State Incentive Grant said. It is not about killing

the fun; Lester wants to focus on allowing students to have fun in a way that keeps them out of jail and on the right path for their future. Lastly, Ashley Hoobler, a prevention specialist, said part of the problem with prescription drugs is how easily they are obtained. “The majority of the way that people get prescription drugs are through their parents or grandparents,” Hoobler said. “They just leave it around once they don’t need it.” These drugs can lead to addictions and death. From 1999-2007 Payne County alone lost 46 lives to prescription drug over dose. But whether you are struggling to shed a few pounds or fighting off a debilitating addiction, Oklahoma State University has the resources to help you live a more healthy lifestyle. news@ocolly.com PAGE 7

OSU Theatre season opens with ‘Eurydice’ how much you hate oatmeal.” “Eurydice,” the first production in the OSU Theatre’s season, reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the heroine’s eyes. Because she is dead, memories evade Eurydice, and she must relearn how to live with the help of her father, all while Orpheus tries to save her. The performances are held in the Vivia Locke Theatre, housed in the Seretean

Center for the Performing Arts, and run Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m., with an additional matinee Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Distinguished American playwright Sarah Ruhl created the play as a tribute to her deceased father. It’s emotionally driven with live violin music by theater major Rebecca Ralstin. The stage is set with people on either side. As audience members watch the play, they’re watching others experience it, too. “It’s not about an amazing plot or structure but about these experiences that we have in life; like falling in love, getting married, temptation, death, loss, memory and the choices we make along the way,” director Jodi Jinks. said “Some great, some

not so great.” Staging, with its ample use of water, played an important part in transporting the audience to the Underworld, a place filled with silence, forgetfulness and no rooms. “The set, the lighting, the costumes were all like I’d imagined them when I read the play,” freshman Sean Rivero said. “I liked that the director took it and ran with it. It was abstract.” Experiencing the journey with Eurydice as she relearned facts about herself speaks to a deeper searching that theater senior Anne Uhlman said she experienced while portraying studious and curious Eurydice. “The character of Eurydice feels a lot like Anne, but she’s not Anne,” Uhl-

man said. “And that’s just one more lens to look at the world through. When I first read the play, I thought I related to Eurydice. But then through the rehearsal process, I found myself to be more of an Orpheus.” Hotel and Restaurant freshman Cody Finger, who played Orpheus, said he discovered many characteristics about himself, as well. “I love theater because you get to explore who you are as a person when you play other characters, and Orpheus and I are very similar” Finger said. “Orpheus always has his head in the clouds, and unfortunately that’s what I’m doing most of the time.” So, visit the Underworld with its cantankerous stones, interesting king and

thoughtful, memory-driven residents. Enjoy a contemporary look at an ancient myth, Orpheus and watch Eurydice transform from the static character who moved the action along, into the three-dimensional character who has power over her choices. Laugh at Orpheus’ attempts of putting his love into words and remember, never kiss a dead man … unless you like oatmeal.
