letes because of language and cultural differences in and out of the classroom, Young said.

“Ultimately, we want to

find kids who fit our culture, and to me, it doesn’t matter where they come from,” Young said. “…

Everybody is different.

I think one of the things that, hopefully, kids find about me and our program is we don’t judge them for where they come

from or things like that.

“We let everybody come into the program and be their own individual and find a place here where they can grow as people and support them in a positive way.”

Stateside, Oklahoma and Texas, predictably, have made up most of Cowboy and Cowgirl rosters during the past five years, but there have been athletes from 44 states at OSU across that time, lacking athletes from only Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, West Virginia and Wyoming.

During the 201617 school year, there were 152 athletes from Oklahoma across all 14 athletic teams, compared to the 147 athletes from Texas. This is the first time Oklahoma has had more athletes than Texas since the 2013-14 school year.

across all sports from the past five years came during the 2014-15 school year when Texans made up about 33 percent of all athletes at OSU. Football accounts for a lot of the Texan athletes.

Each of the past five years, Texan football players have accounted for more than half of the roster. Oklahoman athletes were second each year, averaging about 24 percent.

Louisiana had the third-most athletes on the 2016 football team with six players. That wasn’t always the case, though.

In 2012 and 2013, there were no Louisianans on the team, but since the

football team has added more and more players from Louisiana.

Despite the high percentages of athletes from Oklahoma and Texas, the past five OSU football teams have also been fairly diverse, bringing in athletes from Canada, France and 26 states.

“We have to understand, and coach (Mike) Gundy stresses it to us all the time, we have to recruit Oklahoma,” offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said in April.

“We have to recruit Texas, with a heavy emphasis on Dallas. Then, obviously, we have to make sure that we don’t leave any stones unturned and go where there’s tal-

ent.”

Like Texans on the football team, the Cowboy wrestling team consists of a lot Oklahomans.

Oklahomans average about 50 percent of the past five Cowboy wrestling teams, with the highest percentage being the 2016-17 season at 56.4 percent.

OSU wrestling coach John Smith said having a lot of Oklahomans on the team is key to the team’s success.

“Our championship teams have been made up of Oklahoma kids,” Smith said in February.

“With breaking up scholarships in Division I, like several of our sports

in Division I, some of these kids’ tuition fees is differently, obviously, instate and out-of-state.

“But in the end, if I don’t have four or five guys starting for me from Oklahoma, it gets tough on me. Then you’re real thin because of what it costs to get an out-ofstate kid to come in.

Right now we’ve went through four or five good years of Oklahoma wrestling.”

The baseball team might best exemplify the endless battle for supremacy between athletes from Oklahoma and Texas.

There have been more Oklahomans on the team for four of the past five

seasons, apart from this past season.

During the 2015 baseball season, 17 Oklahomans made up half of the baseball team’s roster with Texas having only 10 baseball players. A year later, the number of Oklahomans on the team dropped to 16, and this season, it is down to 14.

The percentage of Texans on the baseball team, though, has increased to 43.6 percent during the 2017 season.

OSU equestrian teams have had athletes come from a variety of states during the past five years, as no team has had more than 21 percent of its athletes from one state during the timeframe.

An increasing number of Californians are on the equestrian team, as there were only three Californian equestrian riders on the 2012-13 roster compared with the 10 who are on this past season’s.

In all of the past five years, Kansas has came third in percentage behind Oklahoma and Texas on the overall percentage of athletes, but that has dwindled as Kansas has fell from having 5.1 percent of all OSU athletes it 4 percent.

construction update

N ew s

Progress being made with construction on OSU’s campus H a lli e Hart staff reporter @ Ha rt_Hall ie

In the midst of architectural structures that have stood for many decades, a nearly 140,000 squarefoot horseshoe-shaped building with expansive glass windows has taken shape.

This structure is the new home of the Spears School of Business, and it’s one of several massive construction projects on the Oklahoma State University campus.

porary design.

“There’s gonna be a lot of glass,” Jones said.

“There will be a lot of visibility, so people will see what’s happening in these places.”

The College of Arts and Sciences’ music department will also soon gain a space for its students: the McKnight Center.

The music and theatre departments occupy the Seretean Center, but the McKnight Center, which is set to open in 2019, will allow the departments to headquarter in separate places.

The McKnight Center’s Fourth Avenue parking garage is complete, and the performance spaces are under construction this summer. The concrete frame of the structure is quickly assembled, but the formation of the McKnight Center is no simple undertaking.

Jones said the McKnight Center will feature a recital hall that can hold 200 audience members and a larger auditorium with an estimated capacity of 1,100: 900 floor seats, 200 balcony seats and a few box seats.

At its highest point, the stage house will extend up 90 feet.

Unfortunately for anyone who must travel from place to place on campus, extensive construction projects such as the McKnight Center often force roads to temporarily close. Jones explained

that because of the transportation of cool water to the McKnight Center, part of University Avenue is blocked.

“That’s essentially because of Utilities’ chilled water,” Jones said. “They’re sending the system to the PAC (Performing Arts Center), so that’s why University is closed. We’ve got to cross University, so that will get us the chilled water … for the cooling.

“You can’t just turn off the chilled water for much time and just let the building get hot. For one thing, the people wouldn’t like it, but also all the wood would start to crack if it gets too hot.”

Although closed roads are often inconveniences to students, the final results of the on-campus construction are expected to provide them with the benefits of more space for classes and up-to-date facilities.

In the case of the Spears School of Business, the new building is nearly 50,000 square feet larger than the original one.

“In their old building, they were about 90 to 100,000 (square feet),” Jones said. “This is their expansion, and it does bring a lot of state-of-theart classrooms for them.”

“Cultural barriers need to be overcome, but once those barriers are learned and overcame, it’s amazing what you can see that other people can’t,” Cohen said. “You get to make these amazing relationships.”

Cohen worked with five Ghanaian schools. Students at Little Way Academy Junior High School, where he spent a large amount of time, excelled in the public speaking competitions. They advanced to the national event in Koforidua, Ghana, where they placed first in the club meeting category and fourth in the agriculture creed category. Cohen said he was thrilled to see the students earn these honors.

Now that he has returned

“Going to Ghana was a great experience, and I’d like to emphasize how much personal growth you gain from living in a country that is completely different from your own,” Cohen said. “It really is quite a rewarding experience, and you get to meet a lot of really cool people along the way.”

Review: ‘Baby Driver’ is an easy ride with a superb cast Ta elor Co n n el l staff reporter @tae mco n n el l

“Baby Driver” crashes into theaters with top ratings almost as impressive as Baby’s driving itself. The cast is equally notable including familiar faces Jamie Foxx, Ansel Egort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm and other mentionable actors.

Baby (Ansel Egort) spirals into a life of crime after an accident in his childhood causes him to face the real world as an orphan. Baby is always on the move but has two consistent things he can rely on in his life: his recording tapes and Doc’s (Kevin Spacey) presence.

Doc finds Baby as a young boy WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 2017

and gives him purpose in life after discovering Baby’s talent behind the wheel. After Baby gets caught stealing from Doc, he must spend the rest of his childhood making it up to Doc by becoming the getaway driver to each crime he organizes.

Doc gives Baby’s life direction, but Baby’s recordings give him life.

He uses his recordings to relive his time with his parents and also incorporate day-to-day conversations into the music he makes.

Baby spends most of his time listening to music on his iPod after his accident left him with a hearing condition called tinnitus.

IMDB His love of music brings liveliness Between jobs, Baby discovers his to a somewhat bleak story about happiness can be fueled by more a young adult involved in a life of crime he does not deserve. than music after he meets a waitOCOLLY.COM

ress at a local diner who shares his love of music. When he has finally paid off his debt to Doc, he spends his freedom with his waitress Deborah (Lily James) until Doc reaches out to Baby for another job.

Baby soon realizes that even with his debt paid off, he cannot rid his life of Doc so easily. He is forced to do another heist where he meets Bats (Jamie Foxx), Darling (Eiza Gonzalez) and Buddy (Jon Hamm).

Baby must figure out a way to regain his freedom and keep his dangerous heist teammates from finding Deborah. With every teammate willing to kill for their best interest, each decision Baby makes will take him one step closer to freedom or peril.

Although the audience might

be rooting for Baby to prevail, the other characters certainly demand respect and admiration. Jamie Foxx keeps the audience on its toes with his unpredictability, while Jon Hamm is not someone to cross.

Kevin Spacey plays the crime boss to perfection with enough intelligence to make being bad look sleek.

“Baby Driver” offers style, class, love, thrills, comedy and just the right touch of darkness. Overall this movie is a fun ride that everyone has to see.
