Shattering the stigma Tuesday, September 7, 2021
Oklahoma State’s Red Pantry Committee Alyssa Hardaway Staff Reporter
The Oklahoma State’s Red Pantry Committee (RPC) members are providing free menstrual hygiene products to OSU students and faculty as well as the Stillwater community. As the RPC’s mission is fighting to eliminate period poverty within the Stillwater and OSU community and to end stigmatism coming with menstruation. Participating in many different events, RPC educates students on the problems with period poverty within Oklahoma and around the nation, as well as recruit students to be a part of a committee working to make a difference. RPC held a menstrual hygiene week last spring with events such as an art contest, displaying winner’s art pieces in the Student Union, guest speakers and different fundraising events. Tess Haddock, the Executive Director of RPC, helped plan the event. “We are hoping to host See Stigma on 2

Q&A with Katey Anderson: A Fresh start Jaxson Malaby Staff Reporter
As the third week back in the fall semester on campus came to a close, Katey Anderson, a human development and family science major, provided her insight into what it’s like to be a new cowboy. Q: What are your general thoughts about being a college student? A: Being a college student is awesome, especially here at OSU. You have so many resources and activities around campus and it’s so comforting. You’re given all the tools and it’s up to you to make it happen. Q: How are your classes so far? A: All of my classes so far are going very well. The professors are great about giving a full rundown of the whole semester and it’s really helpful. Q: What do you miss most about home? A: What I miss about home is definitely my family, but it makes it so much easier knowing they are excited and proud of me. Q: What have you enjoyed the most about being away from home? A: What I’ve enjoyed the most about being away from home would have to be the freedom. It really transitions you to being more independent and responsible. Q: What are you looking forward to the most about being a cowboy? A: I’m really looking forward to meeting new people around campus and attending the sporting events.
Oklahoma State’s freshmen class size is around 4,000 students.

News erty speakers in the nation, Dr. Anne Kuhlmann, spoke on a virtual platform which was very exciting for the committee and students who attended, said Haddock. “I think the Red Pantry Committee goes beyond just helping people with accessibility, I mean yeah that is our main goal,” Haddock said. “We want people to be able to have accessible products, but we also want to break that stigma of talking about it.” Menstruation is often associated with “nastiness”, said Haddock, but this
committee has helped others along with myself feel more comfortable sharing about menstruation experiences. “We have to restock the pantry in the Student Union on a weekly basis, there are a ton of students who are in need of it or who can’t afford the super pricey listings available to them,” Rosa Gorham, the director of RPC, said. The committees are open to anyone who wants to join, said Gorham, students have the option to join one of three subcommittees, the education subcommittee, the marketing subcom-
mittee or the fundraising subcommittee. With hope to end period poverty, the RPC at Oklahoma State has three locations in Stillwater. One location is off campus at Our Daily Bread, with the other two locations being on campus at the Family Resource Center and the Student Union in room 211P. The pantries stay fully stocked with a variety of different sized pads and tampons. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Cowboy Marching Band
Return of the home field advantage
Sydney York
The Cowboy Marching Band is ready to return to normalcy.
Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter
Home field advantage was lost across the entire country in the 2020 college football season. Due to limited fan capacity, and smaller spirit groups, Boone Pickens Stadium was not the environment needed in order to make visiting teams uncomfortable. Boone Pickens Stadium is renowned as one of the loudest, and best fan experience stadiums in all of college football. A major factor: the Cowboy Marching Band. Last season, each member of the Cowboy Marching Band was only allowed to attend one game each. The groups at each game were not able to take the field at pre-game, nor halftime.
In 2021, Boone Pickens Stadium will be back to full capacity. With the full marching band back in the stands, they are hoping to recreate a rowdy setting. Seniors are excited to get to have their last season spent on the field. “Everyone is really excited for game days,” Cowboy Marching Band President, senior Ethan Crawley said. “It’s exciting to march again… last year, we were in the stands, and we didn’t get to do a pre-game performance, we didn’t get to do the reason we are in marching band, which is to perform,” Crawley continued. “I’m excited to get everyone on the field and do a full pre-game performance in front of all the fans.” After experiencing the season last year, they understand the greatness a “normal” season is.
“We saw what we didn’t get to do last year, and want to make it really great this year,” Cowboy Marching Band drum major, senior Doug Bell said. The Cowboy Marching Band hopes they will be able to create the best fan environment, and a hostile habitat to opposing teams, whenever they play Oklahoma’s best fight song. “It’s gonna be something that most people have ever experienced before,” Bell said. Even though Boone Pickens Stadium will operate at full capacity to start the season, the Cowboy Marching Band is taking the advised precautions in order to keep the stadium packed all season. “What we have is a really resilient group of people who are excited to be here,” Bell said. “At the end of
the day our core focus is supporting the athletics of Oklahoma State,” Doug Bell continued. “We are fully committed right now,” Crawley echoed, “all of our practices have been really great, high energy, we’ve got a lot of work done… we’re ready for our first halftime performance,” Crawley continued. The traditions of the Cowboy Marching Band, and game day traditions at Boone Pickens Stadium is what makes game days so special. The Cowboy Marching Band, and all of OSU’s spirit groups are excited, and committed to making Boone Pickens Stadium the loudest, most hectic stadium in the country, in order to support the football team’s success, and craft the best fan experience possible. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

3 takeaways
Abby Cage
Celebration after the first touchdown by Martin to start the 2021 season.
Missouri State proved OSU needs new plan for run game Chris Becker Assistant Sports Editor Oklahoma State didn’t win as easily as it had anticipated in the season opener against Missouri State. The Cowboys escaped with a 2316 win, here are five takeaways from the game. The run game has to be better on
every front OSU offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn said it best. OSU’s run game was “very” concerning in its 23-16 win over FCS Missouri State. For a team that seemed to be set in the running game before the season with four guys with experience, the 54-yard performance was abysmal. The OSU offensive line shifted from last season, with elite level pass blocking and lackluster run blocking, the opposite of the 2020 campaign. Now it is just one game, but the OSU offense needs the run game to click in order for the offense to reach the level that Dunn and coach Mike
Gundy want to see. Tay Martin will fit seamlessly into the No. 1 receiver role Tay Martin had just 149 yards all of the 2020 season, he had 107 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys first game of 2021. Martin’s role shifted over the offseason into the No. 1 receiver, the Z-spot, after the departure of Tylan Wallace. In the Cowboys season opener he didn’t miss a beat. On the second OSU offensive snap he and Shane Illingworth connected. He capped that drive with a touchdown. The Cowboys needed to fill the holes of Wallace and Dillon Stoner, and Martin seems to have filled his.
The defense is still the commander of the team It didn’t take long to see that the Cowboys defense is still good. The defense faced 83 plays and gave up just 16 points, and only one touchdown. When the defense was called upon, even in bad situations, they held down the fort. Missouri State had not one, but two drives late in the fourth quarter with the chance to tie the game, and the Cowboy defense squandered both of those chances.

JESUS IS THE LORD! As Christians, this is a basic truth we are to live by. Decisions that we make are to be considered in the light of the scriptures and in prayer. The Lord Jesus has promised to instruct and guide us in the ways we are to go. (Ps.32:8) This is a wonderful promise, along with others, that can fill our hearts with thankfulness. He will surely lead as we look to him and accept his guidance. His ways are perfect! (Ps.18:30)
Peter was preaching to the Jewish people, telling them that Jesus is Lord. Paul is reminding the Colossians that when they first received Christ personally, they received him as Lord. In the end, every knee with bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. (Phil.2:10-11) Christians are doing this now. There is nothing much clearer than this!
Because of the temptations of self-centeredness, we need to remind ourselves of this central truth. God loved us so much that he sent his son to free us from our sins, and be our shepherd to direct our lives in what is eternally best for us. Let’s be rooted and strengthen in this way. When temptations come we are already settled in our course. We are going to walk in God’s will; Jesus is the Lord!
crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts.2:36 NIV) “So, then just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” (Col.2:6-7 NIV)

Cowboys victorious at Pebble Beach Cole Ward Staff Reporter
The Oklahoma State men’s golf team start their season off with a win. The Cowboys will be bringing the Caramel Cup trophy back to Stillwater after a solid start in the tournament while being led by senior Eugenio Chacarra and junior Brian Stark. OSU found themselves in a tie for third after the first round after firing a 357. They followed that up with a 350 in the second round, taking the lead, and the Cowboys never looked back from there while finishing the final round with a 355 to secure the win. Stark finished at 5-under (T3) for the tournament while Chacarra shot 4-under (T6) to secure two top 10 spots for the Cowboys. Junior Rayhan Thomas finished at E (T20), sophomore Bo Jin ended the tournament at 1-over (T24). Junior Dillon Stewart finished at 2-over (T27), while Senior Aman Gupta used a second round 66 to give him a top 35 finish at 4-over (T34). The Cowboys, who shot 1062 after their three rounds, edged runner-up and bedlam rival OU who shot 1063. Arkansas finished third at 1067. The Cowboys will be back in action at the Fighting Illini invitational, Sept. 17-19 where OSU will get a chance to play alongside defending national champions, Pepperdine.

Column: Illingworth showed the future but Sanders remains the guy Chris Becker Assistant Sports Editor Unlike last season, when news broke that quarterback Spencer Sanders was out for the Oklahoma State season opener, fans knew what was coming with Shane Illingworth. However, this was a one week thing. When Sanders is back— presumably this Saturday against Tulsa— he will get his job back. Why wouldn’t he? Coach Mike Gundy and offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn listed him as the QB1 on the original two-deep depth chart for a reason, he is their guy. It was his job in 2019, same in 2020 so it is his in 2021. No knock on Illingworth, he showed improvement from his four appearances last season. In Saturday’s game he went 22-for-40 with 315 yards and a touchdown, but also had an interception. Now, admittedly the Cowboys threw more than they wanted too because of a lackluster run game. Illingworth was up to the challenge this week, but he still had kinks in his game that need to be worked out before he’s ready to fully handle QB1 duties. He missed a couple of deep throws early, had a bad interception on an underthrown pass in tight coverage and then in clutch time missed a couple of receivers that if completed would’ve iced the game. All-in-all Illingworth played well considering it was just the first game, but he still has maturing to do. “(Illingworth) doesn’t have a lot of experience. He made some throws and he missed a few, but with where he is at in his career with experience, he played fine. The issue was we couldn’t rush the football,” Gundy said. But Sanders controlling the job has more to do with what he brings than it does to what Illingworth doesn’t. Sanders brings a new component to the OSU offense with his athleticism, ability to escape the pocket and do damage with his legs. On top of his athleticism and ability to make plays Sanders has a solid arm. Not the same cannon as Illingworth, but the combo of arm talent and running ability takes Sanders a step above. Saturday’s offensive play calling saw numerous read options called from Dunn and his staff, however Illingworth doesn’t have the same weaponized feet that Sanders does. Anytime the Cowboys ran the read option the ball ended up in the hands of the running back. With Sanders his rushing ability would allow to— confidently— pull the ball out the running backs arms and take the ball himself. Prior to the season during Big 12 Media Days in July, Gundy told reporters that Sanders had improved more in two months, over the spring and summer workouts, than he had in his first two years, which shouldn’t be taken lightly. Illingworth has shown great things that should excite OSU coaches and fans for the future. Key word: future. Illingworth is the future and Sanders is the present. sports.ed@ocolly.com
