HIDDEN HISTORIES

@OCOLLY

Map Room offers window to the past Stetson Payne @OColly In the northeast wing of the Edmon Low Library’s basement lies a room holding decades of history.

Not just in text or historical photography, but maps.

John Phillips, director of the Oklahoma Digital Map Collection, manages the Map Room and its two student staff members, Erin Pearson and Brandon Cloud.

Pearson, a secondary education major, handles digitization of the vast collection of maps while Cloud, an engineering major, manages requests for information and sorts the thousands of aerial photographs used to lay out the region before satellites.

The room serves as a public records catalogue for on-campus and offcampus requests. Phillips has a pair of master’s degrees from Oklahoma State in history and library sciences. The degrees seem fitting seeing how he has worked at Edmon Low for 41 years in the government records department on the fifth floor.

The process involves digitization, taking historic maps of Oklahoma and former Indian Territory and adding them to a retrievable and moreeasily dispersed Internet document via the United

States Geological Survey and other government agencies.

“We’ve digitized approximately 8,000 maps … the vast majority of them Oklahoma-related,” Phillips said.

Some of the maps on file date to the earliest Western documentation of Oklahoma by the Zebulon Pike Expedition in 1810.

In addition, there is a large collection of maps that outline an original plan for two states: The western portions of present-day Oklahoma retaining its name and the eastern portions called Sequoyah.

Beyond the historical importance of these documents, many of them fetch high prices among collectors and traders for original works.

For instance, some original globes used in classrooms can bring $75,000, and maps of the never-incorporated state of Sequoyah also bring a pretty penny.

“The original Republic of Texas map from 1844 sells for $8,000 to collectors and traders,” Phillips said.

The incredible collection ranges from topographical maps of individual areas throughout Oklahoma dating back as far as the 1930s prior to the development of the many hydroelectric dams on rivers and creeks across the state.

“If you’re from Tulsa and you wanted to see

what the land looked like around Keystone before the lake was there, we can show you that,” Phillips said.

Most of this imagery derived from overhead aerial photography collaged to create full-size imagery when magnified under a glass.

Before digitalization, the room’s purpose was housing and answering information about historical print maps dating through years of both USDA and USGS surveys.

Specifically, the Map

Room handles information requests from across the state; there are Map Rooms at several libraries across the state, including the University of Oklahoma and the University of Tulsa.

These collections range from older maps dating to Indian Territory, up to much more recent USGS topographical maps generated from satellite data.

For instance, topographical maps and overhead photography can be retrieved for nearly any location in present-day

O’COLLY

Oklahoma or formerly Indian Territory; building locations can be identified before their construction, and often the purpose of study is agriculture.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture commissioned most of the older surveys. The agency used the information on arable land to assess any possible damage done to agricultural interests by weather phenomena such as floods. These older flyovers (which have since been either digitalized or turned into topographi-

ELIZABETH SHAFER/O’COLLY

cal maps) catalogue the area from the days before satellite imagery.

Phillips estimates well over 100,000 flyover missions were carried out to develop this catalogue of imagery dating to the Dust Bowl Era.

Academy Sports + Outdoors coming in 2015 Natalie Price @nprice42

TYLERDIRECTORY/FLICKR

Academy is coming to the new retail development to be built on Lakeview and Perkins roads.

The company that is committed to offering the best brands at low prices — everyday, plans on opening its doors in Stillwater.

Rumors of an Academy Sports + Outdoors filled the streets in Stillwater, and these rumors were put to rest Monday evening.

Academy Sports + Outdoors released a statement confirming its plans to open its first store in Stillwater in 2015. A specific date or month has not been released at this time.

“We are excited to offer active-minded families in Stillwater a new and convenient location to shop before heading out to Boomer Lake Park, hitting the links at Lakeside Memorial Golf Course or getting ready for the next little league season,” said Ken Attaway, Academy Sports + Outdoors executive vice president and chief operating officer.

The talk of the Academy

coming to Stillwater started after a city council meeting in August. The council passed a plan at the meeting that created a tax increment allowing the city to use sales tax to pay 25 percent of the investments of the development.

Two local business owners and one city councilor voiced opposition to the plan at the city council meeting, deeming it unfair to local businesses.

“I’m not upset that Academy is coming,” said Chris Norris, owner of Chris’ University Spirit. “I am upset by the way are getting here.”

Councilor Gina Noble said she wishes the council had considered higherpaying jobs rather than new retail opportunities.

The store, which will span nearly 63,000 square feet, is expected to create 125 new jobs in Stillwater.

Academy will provide many services including an archery lane, a digital golf simulator, hunting and fishing licenses, propane exchange and racquet stringing. Along with these services, Academy will have

COLLEGE SKI & BOARD WEEK

a selection of local team gear.

There are currently seven Academy Sports + Outdoors stores in Oklahoma, the closest one is 54 miles away in Edmond.

Students have expressed their excitement about the new sports store coming close to campus.

“Although it’s no Target, I am still excited about Academy coming. It’s just one more place I don’t have to wait until I go home to shop at,” said Emmie Humphrey, a human development and family sciences junior.

Academy is committed to active community support and giving back to local communities through partnerships with youth organizations, outdoor conservation programs and sports teams. It is partnered with the Oklahoma State Cowboys and has been for the past five years.

“We’re looking forward to opening next year and being an active member of the Stillwater community for years to come,” Attaway said. news@ocolly.com

Furman shines at new program, new position Annice McEwan @annicemcewan

Defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer may have run into yet another hidden gem among college transfers.

With the success of last year’s Kansas transfer Tyler Patmon, it was unlikely Spencer would find another player with three years of Division I experience, especially amid a season that returned only four starters on defense.

But he did.

This year, OSU added Josh Furman to the roster.

Furman, a senior from Annapolis, Maryland, played three years at Michigan before graduating last May. With one year left of eligibility, Furman decided to explore his other options.

“I was just looking at teams across the nation to email and get in contact with,” Furman said in an OSU press release. “I seen that Oklahoma State was losing a lot of people on defense.

“So, I thought that was a chance to email them and reach out and see if they can get back in touch with me.”

OSU’s coaching staff did get back to Furman and told him he would have to earn a spot during summer workouts.

Spencer said he knew he was taking a risk by allowing a player to join the team without prior experience in the program.

“When you get some-

body in like that, you’re taking a chance because you had no history with him,” Spencer said. “You meet him a couple of times and boom, he’s here in the summer and you’re hoping you get good reports out of the weight room.

“And then in camp, you’re just hoping, hey, this kid can take coaching.”

In Maryland, Furman was listed as one of the state’s top recruits. After leading Old Mill Senior High School to a state championship, Scout. com rated Furman as a four-star prospect and the seventh-best safety in the nation.

After receiving offers from programs like Maryland and Illinois, Furman decided on the University of Michigan, but his time there was average.

Although Furman was a two-year letterman, the safety recorded only three career starts and contributed primarily to special teams.

The depleted OSU defense would prove to be the perfect fit for Furman, but it would require one last switch.

Furman, who also played running back in high school, moved to the star linebacker position.

Furman said the change worked in his favor.

“It’s been a little bit different, but I played a lot of outside linebacker in high school,” Furman said. “So the transition is not that much different, but it’s a lot of schemes that we

play in the defense that compliment my abilities on playing in the defense.”

Fellow linebacker Ryan Simmons noticed Furman’s experience at safety has helped contribute to the hybrid position he

plays now.

“He’s done a great job,” Simmons said. “He’s very fast. Out in the field he’s more used to that safety look and being out on the field with one-on-one coverage with the receiv-

O’COLLY

ers. He’s more comfortable in that position.”

Senior safety Larry Stephens said Furman has adapted well to the new position, but the change from one program to another hasn’t been easy

for him.

“Basically, (the hardest part was) learning a new defense,” Stephens said.

“I think at first he had a little trouble with it but

Column: The Daily O’Collegian is out Catherine Sweeney @CathJSweeney

Notice anything different?

We’ve made quite a few changes around here.

For years, the refrain has bounced around campus: “The O’Colly sucks.” Did you think we hadn’t heard?

If so, you were wrong.

The editors sat down together last semester and became the first to say it out loud. “This isn’t working.”

We realized we weren’t serving you, our readers, to the best of our collective ability. So we decided to

change things up.

We changed our name.

We wanted to take a symbolic step forward, making it clear that we were breaking away from who we used to be. The Daily O’Collegian ended this summer. The O’Colly is now Oklahoma State’s official student newspaper.

We changed to a tabloid format. You now turn the pages like a book instead of folding and unfolding a mess.

With the change in paper came a change in design philosophy. Instead of a boring newspaper look, we proposed via social media a magazine look — more graphic, focused on photos. With your likes

and retweets, we saw a resounding endorsement.

We changed our publication days, cutting to three days a week. The stories we were giving you weren’t up to par. We didn’t have enough writers to dedicate to news, and we didn’t have enough editors to ensure quality. We run three issues a week, but work the same amount of time, which freed us up for the last change.

We changed our focus.

You guys aren’t picking up papers. You’re opening links in tweets. You’re seeing us on Facebook. In the past, we treated all online media as an afterthought.

We realized we have to meet you where you are.

Half of our editor staff started working on online exclusively. The website got its own writing staff and photographers. The newsroom split in half.

So what do you think?

We’re only four weeks in, and God knows we still have so much to do. But we can’t give you what you want unless you tell us what that is.

Childs grows up with role in OSU backfield Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

The hardest player to tackle in the Oklahoma State backfield might not be Tyreek Hill with his supreme speed or Desmond Roland with his brutal strength.

Instead, try sophomore Rennie Childs, who brings a combination of quickness and power along with his biggest and newest asset: A determined attitude.

“Man, he runs hard,” OSU offensive lineman Zac Veatch said. “I could probably tackle him if I had to, but I don’t think I’d want to.”

Linebacker Ryan Simmons said he agrees, and he knows from plenty of experience in practice.

“I’m going agianst him,” Simmons said. “He hits the hole hard, he’s not afraid of anything, any contact. He can run through tackles, he can juke you, he has good breakway speed, so Rennie is defintely a threat within this offense.

“He is defintely a tough one to tackle.”

For Childs, earning compliments didn’t always come so easy.

He spent his entire freshman season in the shadow of experienced backs Jeremy Smith and Desmond Roland. Childs was a talented freshman, running for 200 yards on 41 carries, but coaches

threw him into a fire he wasn’t totally prepared for.

Even in the spring, running backs coach Jemal Singleton said Childs had growing up to do. But part of that was because Childs was so good that he played as a freshman and skipped the pledge period most newcomers go through.

“He deserved his playing time,” offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said. “He worked extermely hard. But as a coach, you like to see a player be groomed and earn his stripes, not to say that he hadn’t. But I understand what Coach Singleton meant by that, for sure.”

Childs was subject to plenty of criticism from Singleton and other coaches all the way through spring camp. He looked to Roland as a mentor, where he said he learned what it meant to have the work ethic of a Division I running back.

Childs and Roland meet to talk about their goals before every practice.

“I have personal goals; I’m pushing myself evey single day,” Childs said.

“Of course, with (Singleton and Roland’s) help, it’s put me to the point I’m at. I’m glad they’re in my life.”

And it looks as if Childs has figured out what growing up as a player is all about.

“The way he runs in the game, he runs in practice,” Simmons said. “He has high expectations for himsef and he’s proving it.”

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2014

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

Rennie Childs scored two touchdowns against Missouri State. “He’s not afraid of anything,” linebacker Ryan Simmons said.

With Roland nursing a rib injury last week and coaches wanting to preserve Hill’s touches, Childs took on a bigger workload against Missouri State.

Childs carried 12 times for 39 yards — nothing eye-popping, but he did earn tough yards on carries up the middle and plowed his way to two touchdowns.

“I miss my boy Des and everything, but getting the

carries that I did, I took advantage of it,” Childs said.

Yurcich said he didn’t take that or anything Childs has done as a surprise.

“He’s an explosive guy,” Yurcich said. “Good strength, can break a tackle. Can shake you, and then has good speed so he can take off on you.

That makes him a little bit scary for a defense.”

Despite his balanced

O’COLLY

running style and sturdy 5-foot-10, 205-pound frame, Childs’ most important — and most overlooked — strength could be his abilty to pass protect.

“It’s very valuable,” Yurcich said. “If you’re going to bring a will linebacker, he’s going to get picked up. That’s a very comfortable feeling for a quarterback to have.”

Now it’s about learning and growing even more.

With recent history as evidence, if Childs does that, his role and stats will likely do the same.

“I’m more comfortable in the backfield,” Childs said. “Not being so timid and nervous. I’m glad I got experience last year, so this year when I step on the field it wouldn’t be like, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m out here for the first time.’

I’ve grown a lot like that.” sports@ocolly.com PAGE 6

Notebook: Gundy to make QB decision Wednesday Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said quarterback J.W. Walsh was scheduled to have his apparent right foot injury reevaluted Monday, but don’t expect the diagnosis to be public information.

Gundy typically doesn’t disclose injuries, and the case should be no different for Walsh, who left Saturday’s game against Missouri State in the first quarter.

But Gundy did say Monday the injury isn’t as bad as originally thought, despite Sam Mayes — a former OSU player and now a radio personality — reporting Walsh would miss six to eight weeks with a broken foot.

“That’s good news,” Gundy said. “To what extent? We won’t know. So we’ll just move forward from there.

“Unlike some of the speculation where he’s already been diagnosed with certain injuries. They must have more information than I do … Our plan is for him to take his boot off and see where’s he’s at on Tuesday.”

Gundy said he expects to have a plan in place

by Wednesday regarding Walsh’s health and how to distribute reps with Daxx Garman, who went 16of-26 and threw for 244 yards in place of Walsh on Saturday.

YURCICH: ‘TOUGH TO SAY WHO HAS THE STRONGER ARM’ Garman’s performance and impressive downfield passes were enough to get OSU players and fans alike raving about his arm strength Saturday.

But OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich surprinsgly said he’s not sure who has the stronger arm between Walsh and Garman.

“I don’t know,” Yurcich said. “I’ve never put a radar gun up to them. It’d be tough to say who’s got the strongest arm right there, as far as RPMs or miles per hour, if I were to gauge it. They both can throw a deep comeback.

They both throw the go route real well. Same thing goes for routes and everything you would gauge arm strength by.

“Those throws get there.

It’s not like we eliminate certain throws with one particular quarterback in the game versus another quarterback. It’s the same offense.”

That happens to somewhat contradict what even Gundy said regarding what changes Garman brings to the offense.

“He is a different style quarterback than J.W.,” Gundy said. “… The game plan won’t alter a lot. It will some. We still have a base system that any quarterback who has played here the last six years can execute, and then there’s a variation one way or another depending on who

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2014

that is.”

UTSA LOADED WITH EXPERIENCE The Cowboys play UTSA on Saturday at 6 p.m. in Stilllwater, and though the Roadrunners are in Conference USA, Gundy and others have said UTSA is capable of playing in the Big 12.

The Roadrunners nearly beat Arizona in their home opener, and thanks to eight returning starters and a complex offensive, OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer and his young squad are gearing up for a challenge.

“Heck yeah (UTSA’s experience) spooks me,” Spencer said. “And what they do in their scheme, you can’t do some of the stuff they do with a young offense. A lot of times the shifts and motions, that can mess them up as much as it does us.”

GUNDY FACES OLD COACH UTSA coach Larry Coker worked at OSU from 1983-89, and was offensive coordinator during Gundy’s tenure as quarterback.

For the second season in a row, Gundy faces one of his mentors. And although the Cowboys beat UTSA 56-35 last season, Gundy said he holds the highest of respect for Coker and thinks he will land another big-time coaching job.

“He’s got great people skills, and he’s smart,” Gundy said. “I don’t know

all the details of whatever happened down in Miami, but I know that he was one game away and arguably a call that could have gone either way from winning two national championships in a row.

“I don’t know what his long-term goals are. In my opinion, he’ll either come out at some point and say, ‘This is where I want to go and retire,’ or at some point, there’s going to be another job. I would think that some athletic director would eventually go to his board of regents and say that he wants to hire him.”

OSU running back Rennie Childs added he wouldn’t be shocked if there’s also some friendy trash talk going on behind the scenes.

“I think that’s pretty exciting, him playing agianst his old coach,” Childs said. “There’s probably some competition. I know if I was in his situation, I’d probably have some words to say about the game and everything, but that’s on them.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs.

Flags raise suicide awareness

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

OSU’s To Write Love On Her Arms chapter represents the number of college students who commit suicide each year with 1,100 small flags in front of Noble Research Center.

STAFF REPORTS This week marks National Suicide Prevention Week, and OSU’s To Write on Her Arms Chapter placed 1,100 flags in front of Noble Resarch Center to represent the number of college students who commit suicide each year.

How do you tell if you’re clinically depressed or just experiencing situational sadness? Here are some symptoms of depression and how you can tell the difference.

LOSS OF INTEREST IN ACTIVITIES There are days where you just don’t feel like being around your friends, and that is normal. You may have depression if you do not want to do anything you usually enjoy.

Whether it’s going to the movies or playing with your dog, a prolonged lack of interest in these activities can be a sign of a problem.

APPETITE OR WEIGHT CHANGES You’ve probably heard of

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2014

or experienced the “Freshman 15,” where new college students gain weight. If you notice that you are using food to cope with negative thoughts and feelings, you may have a more serious problem than normal weight gain. Weight loss can also be a problem if you are restricting your food intake beyond a healthy level.

RECKLESS BEHAVIOR This is college, and you probably want to try new things. True risky behavior associated with depression

is much more severe than smoking with friends.

If you start excessively speeding while driving, having unhealthy sexual relationships or using drugs or alcohol on a regular basis, you may need medical help.

LOSS OF ENERGY Typical laziness on a Saturday where you lay in bed and watch Netflix is acceptable if it isn’t occurring regularly.

If you physically lack the energy to get out of bed and go to class, you may be

O’COLLY

suffering from depression.

People with this symptom feel exhausted for no reason and want to stay in bed all day long.

FEELINGS OF HOPELESSNESS So you fail your first exam and you’re pretty bummed out about it. You may be thinking that you can’t handle college or that you’re not ready for the workload you signed up for.

Serious depression can cause feelings of hopelessness that linger for several

weeks and appear in many aspects of your life. You may feel like you’re no good at your job, are an awful student, and that your friends don’t like you. These are signs of a depressive disorder.

What should you do if you or a friend exhibit these symptoms?

Colvin makes jazz and ballet classes free

By CHRIS PINA Staff Reporter

Students have a new opportunity to shake, lunge, tumble and roll thanks to a removal of costs for a pair of dance classes offered at the Colvin.

Students can now attend jazz and ballet classes at the Colvin Center without having to pay any fees or charges. These classes are Mondays and Wednesdays. Ballet starts at 12:30 p.m. and jazz starts at 1:30 p.m.

This change was enacted last spring to cut the

old $40 fee that students had to pay to partake in these courses.

Dropping the fee was a successful attempt at making both classes more accessible to all students, said Jason Vlastaras, fitness oordinator at OSU. He offered insight to the decision that has led to a higher popularity in both classes.

“It was an effort to increase participation,” Vlastaras said. “Since we’ve gotten rid of the fee, participation in the classes has more than doubled from the single digit levels they were at before.”

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2014

Geology freshman Reagan Francisco is taking the ballet class.

She used to dance preprofessionally, and said she probably would not have taken the class if it had cost $40.

She also said the program would help in her transition to college.

“I spent my whole pre-college life dancing,” Francisco said.

Claire Patton, a junior studying business management and marketing, is teaching the two classes.

now he’s getting better at it.”

Experience is one part of the learning curve Furman wasn’t missing. Simmons said Furman’s time playing at this level has added some much-needed veteran leadership to the defense.

“He knows how to keep his head, and he knows it’s a full 60-minute game,” Simmons said. “He just has to worry about whatever it is he needs to worry about. He’s been a part of games here so

he’s definitely a great part to our defense as far as experience goes.”

Furman has already outdone his performance at Michigan. In the two games Furman started for the Cowboys, he recorded six solo tackles, four assisted and one pass breakup.

“He’s a tough kid and he plays hard,” Spencer said. “So he has not disappointed yet. In the position I have him, it’s a little foreign to him from what he’s played in the past, but he wants to do good.”

Furman said he hopes to use this year as an opportunity to showcase the talent he was never able to at Michigan.

“My goal is just to make the team better and make myself better, and have a

great year for my aspirations and my dreams outside, on the next level,” Furman said. “(I want) to show the world my potential.”

So far, Furman’s potential has been as much of a surprise as the Cowboys’ defense itself.

As a part of the unexpectedly efficient defense that shook up Florida State in the season opener, Furman’s role for the rest of the season could prove invaluable.

“I’d hate to know what we would be like right now without Josh,” Spencer said. “I hope the rewards are as good for him this year, being here, as they are for us by him being here.” sports@ocolly.com
