SGA faces multicultural member shortage Montinique Monroe @iAmMontinique

The faces of the Student Government Association don’t exactly match the faces of the student body. Some students said they fear multicultural students at OSU are not fully represented because not enough multicultural students attend SGA meetings. About eight of 50 senators in SGA come from the multicultural community. About 11 of 110 people in SGA as a whole come from the multicultural community. Kent Sampson, director of campus life, said there are several benefits available to the multicultural community. He said all students pay a fee per credit hour, generating money to finance student events. Sampson said every student pays a nickel per credit hour, which generates about $27,000 to finance the Multicultural Action Committee. The money raised for MAC has to go toward multicultural programs. Sampson said SGA also has a speaker’s board, which exists so students can bring big-name speakers to campus. He said students pay about 25 cents per credit hour, generating about $100,000 a year to finance this service. Sampson said one of the speakers during the year has to be of multicultural background, according to the speaker’s board bylaw.

Jeremiah Murray, Board of Regents for A&M College’s liaison for SGA, said his main purpose for joining SGA was to help people whose voices are often overlooked in governmental bodies. “Anytime you don’t have representation, you will get taken advantage of,” Murray said. “That’s been true in history. That’s been true everywhere.” Murray said part of the blame for the lack of diversity in SGA goes to the students, but it is also SGA’s responsibility to reach out to different organizations and actively recruit multicultural members. “I think SGA as an entire governing body could use more diversity,” Murray said. When it comes to diversity in SGA, Murray said students who do not take the opportunity to attend the meetings are at a disadvantage. After attending her first SGA meeting last Wednesday, sociology student Tracey Woolridge said she learned many things she did not know were happening on campus. She said a possible reason students from multicultural backgrounds are not involved in the organization is because they may feel less significant than others. “I did not know what the Student Government Association was, and this is my second year here,” Woolridge said. “For the longest time, I just kind of felt like that was

something secluded that I couldn’t be apart of.” SGA senator Brice Kemajou from Cameroon said as a first-semester student, he became involved in SGA because he searched for ways to get involved. He said one of his purposes as senator is to have students know more about SGA without having to look for it. “I think they’re representing the school of around 35,000 students who are coming from different places, so maybe a way of helping them is to be them as well,” Kemajou said. “What I mean by that is the senate can have more students who can understand cultural

heritage and cultural backgrounds.” Kemajou said because SGA and students coexist, the multicultural community needs to seek ways to get involved in SGA, and SGA needs to continue to reach out to the multicultural community. SGA vice president Charlie Gibson said her involvement in the organization began her freshman year through freshman representative council. Gibson said people of different cultural and economic backgrounds have the opportunity to be in SGA as much as they want involvement. “Our whole reason for running is that we wanted

O’COLLY

to involve everyone and be a fair representation of campus,” Gibson said. “It would be great if all the organizations came to us, but that’s just not realistic. In reality, we need to go to them.” Gibson said representatives have attended International Student Association meetings to let international students know what SGA is. She said she is familiar with some international students who attend the meetings and hold positions in the organization. “I don’t know (if traditionally) the communication has been as open as we’re hoping for it to be this year,” Gibson said. “I

think we’re making strides toward it already, but that’s definitely an area that has to be a continual process and the communication has to be open all the time.” news@ocolly.com Up Next

SGA group recycles tailgating trash for a cause After the game, volunteers round up the bags and take them underground to be sorted. The volunteers look for aluminum cans and plastic bottles, but they have found everything from diapers to a half-eaten racks of ribs. Together, most of the bags are about 65 percent recyclables, 35 percent trash. Finally, after all the trash has been sorted out, volunteers take the recycling to Habitat for Humanity, which turns in the recycling and uses the money it receives for organizational purposes. “(It makes me) more aware of the footprint that we leave on the university,” said English freshman Corby Covalt. He is a first-year volunteer. Even with anywhere from 20 to 50 volunteers, this process can take hours. Dennis herself has stayed recycling until 1:00 a.m. Pre-vet sophomore Shanlyn Hufley has been working with the project for two years. To her, the experience has been “very humbling.”

Bailey Powell @OColly

It is dark, it is smelly and it is hot. It is the area underneath Boone Pickens Stadium where the Student Government Association Sustainability Subcommittee sorts through tailgaters’ trash after every home game. The Tailgate Recycling Project has run for about seven years, and President Taylor Dennis and Vice President Chelsey Johnson are the leaders of the subcommittee. To Dennis, sustainability is about providing resources for tomorrow. “Without programs like this, we wouldn’t have resources in the future,” Dennis said. Each game the subcommittee hands out about 40 green trash bags to tailgaters to make recycling easy. There are also always dispensers around campus. Some tailgaters confuse these bags with regular trash bags.

COLLEGE SKI & BOARD WEEK

A team of freshman engineers showed up to OSU’s latest game against UTSA. Davis Frohrip, Dominick Richerd and Briar Lohsten agreed the sorting was a great way to earn points for other organizations, and the people they got to work with made an unglamorous job fun. “It gives me faith in humanity because it shows that there (are) more people like me that want to help,” Lohsten said. Next game, SGA Sustainability will unveil new dispenser designs. It is important to be educated about recyclables before throwing away valuable resources. SGA Sustainability is always looking for more volunteers, whether you come with a group or show up alone. “We love people who are willing to give back to the community,” Johnson said.

Spears School bringing famous faces to state By KAMI FORAY Staff Reporter

Wozniak is his name, and business is his game. Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University brings in outstanding individuals from around the country to speak with students and residents alike. This year, it has invited David Brooks, a New York Times columnist; Moira Forbes, president of ForbesWomen and Steve Wozniak, Apple cofounder and chief scientist of Fusion-io. No state-allocated funds were used to pay the speakers. Instead, they

were paid from sponsorships, funds received from ticket purchases and OSU Foundation funds. Forbes will cost $17,500, Brooks will cost $120,000 and Wozniak will cost $135,000. Brooks will speak at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Tulsa on Nov. 4 and the Cox Business Convention Center in Oklahoma City on Nov. 5. Forbes will speak at the Cox Business Convention Center on March 11, 2015 and March 12 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Steve Wozniak will speak at the Cox Business Convention Center on April 7, 2015 and at the Mabee Center in Tulsa on

the same day. The purpose of the speaker series is to bring in speakers who wouldn’t normally come to Oklahoma, said Mandy McKinney, program speaker for the Center for Executive and Professional Development at the Spears School of Business. “With technology advancing, particularly with Apple, we thought Wozniak would be a good speaker,” she said. The Spears School of Business works with students to decide whom they want to invite and where the speaker series will be held, McKinney said. This year, the series is

being held in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. McKinney said it is important students hear these people speak because it will help them have a competitive edge and help them when they enter into the corporate business world after graduation. “It is important to know current events and to interact with business individuals before they graduate,” McKinney said.

Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak will speak in Oklahoma in April.

A GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISE! “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” (Ps.32:8 NIV) This is a wonderful promise from God. Notice the context of the promise. He is speaking of the man whose sins are forgiven; whose sin the Lord does not count against him. (v1-5) He is honest hearted (no guile). He is the one who takes refuge in God. Here is a person, honest about his sin; admits them to God. He has humbled himself. God makes wonderful promises to the humble. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.” The Bible speaks of people who think they know the right way, Here, God is promising to give teaching but it leads to death. He and direction that will truly guide a person’s life. This is a direct promise from the faithful God, who does not lie. I will guide your life!! The apostle Peter speaks of God’s exceeding great and precious promises. (2 Pet.1:4) This is one of those promises to embrace. p God also promises counsel (wisdom). In the book of proverbs it is clear that humility is the strong quality of wisdom. In James 3:13 we are told “who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” say, “…the wisdom that comes from heaven is first pure then Then he goes on to sa peaceloving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” (Ja.3:17 NIV) Our life will take on these great qualities that will encourage and help others. Finally, Finall God promises, “I…will watch over you.” Can you imagine this? God will have his protective eye on you continually. The promise implies 24 hour protection. No wonder we are told “all things work together for our good to those who love God…” (Ro.8:28) The great and faithful God has promised all of this to those who will turn to him and honestly trust him.

IFC makes homecoming donations Zach Baden @ZachBaden After being confronted with the rising cost of house decorations for OSU’s famous homecoming celebration, the members of the InterFraternity Council decided to do something about it. Every year, fraternity and sorority pairings, residence halls, living communities and university colleges commit thousands of dollars to constructing house decorations, floats and yard signs to welcome back thousands of alumni. The cost per organization can vary significantly. For example, Phi Gamma

Delta treasurer Tyler Konarik said his fraternity spent $12,500 on its house decoration in 2013. Similar to universities paying fees to be part of the NCAA or a conference, fraternities pay dues to belong to IFC, their governing body. So leaders decided to raise those dues for every member of each IFC fraternity by $5 and deposit the funds from the raise in the Alumni Association’s Homecoming Endowment. IFC secretary Todd Edmonds introduced the bill during the first IFC meeting this fall and it was passed with a two-thirds vote. Edmonds said the bill is expected to raise about $11,000 this year and more

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

than $110,000 over the 10year life of the raise. Batchelder said he was impressed by the initiative shown by the council. “That gift will make IFC one of the largest donors to the Homecoming Endowment,” he said. “That is something we’re very excited about because they recognized that those dollars go directly back to their members. It was a great commitment by IFC.” At the end of the spring 2014 semester, IFC members decided they wanted to make a long-term commitment to try to ensure the celebration would continue to thrive for years to come. So, leadership approached the Alumni Association

about possibly making a donation. Its president, Chris Batchelder, said he is glad that people inside and outside the university are seeing the need. “Our homecoming is recognized as America’s greatest homecoming celebration, so we are very proud of it,” Batchelder said. “But at the same time, it is also very expensive to the Alumni Association and the living groups.” The Homecoming Endowment was established as part of the Branding Success campaign and seeks to preserve the 90-year tradition. So far it has raised $1 million of its $3 million goal. This milestone means the Alumni Association, for

the first time, can use up to five percent of the total fund each year from interest gained in the account. The payments are made in the form of refund checks to subsidize a portion of the cost for each pairing or living community based on chapter size and total expenses. Melisa Parkerson,

director of student programs for the Alumni Association, said with the new contributions the amount of money spent each year will instantly double. “In the past we have, out of our budget, given $20,000 per year back to the living See IFC Page 12

Lack of turnovers doesn’t dampen Spencer’s spirits

Kevin Peterson recorded three tackles and two pass breakups in the Cowboys’ 43-13 win against UTSA on Saturday.

Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim

Talking to Glenn Spencer after Oklahoma State’s 43-13 win against UTSA, you’d think the Cowboys forced five turnovers. On the contrary, they forced only one, an interception from Ashton Lampkin on the last play of the game. That didn’t stop the defensive coordinator from flashing a rare

smile when talking about his defense, which allowed 206 yards of offense against the Roadrunners (1-2). “We just won a great game,” Spencer said. “Turnovers weren’t there, but the kids just played a hell of a ball game. They got off the field so many times. They did great against the run. They played physically and had a lot of great tackles.” Those are strange words coming from Spencer, who makes the entire defense run if it doesn’t meet his

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

turnover quota. “Certain teams it’s five, certain teams it’s three,” OSU cornerback Kevin Peterson said. “He wants three, but we really aim for five. “We still gonna be running tomorrow for that. Coach Spencer really preaches turnovers, no matter who you play. They could have zero yards rushing, zero yards receiving, but if we don’t get turnovers, we still gonna run.” Lampkin’s pick-six saved the Cowboys (2-1) from

playing two straight games without forcing a turnover. Before that, the Cowboys had gone 19 straight games with at least one forced turnover, dating to a game against West Virginia on Nov. 10, 2012. It’s a radical turnaround from the 2013 defense that was among the nation’s best at forcing turnovers; the Cowboys forced 33 that season. OSU is breaking in seven new starters on defense, so there’s some margin for error early on. But if the

O’COLLY

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

defense plays like it did against UTSA week after week, there might not be much to complain about, even if the Cowboys can’t force a turnover. “Defensively, I thought our players competed for the most part,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “We tackled really well. We were physical. They took that challenge and played physical. We had three missed assignments on the one drive where (UTSA) scored in the second half. “Other than that, I

thought they were the key to the game.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Texas Tech When: Sept. 25 at 6:30 p.m. Where: Boone Pickens Stadium TV: ESPN PAGE 6

Roland sparks OSU’s run game Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz Oklahoma State’s offense had been missing one of its key leaders, but he returned Saturday with authority. Running back Desmond Roland was OSU’s leading rusher against UTSA after missing last week’s game against Missouri State with a rib injury. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound senior ran for 95 yards on 21 carries with two touchdowns in the team’s 43-13 victory against the Roadrunners. “Against this team, Des is able to smash it up in there and kind of move the pile,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “There’s an advantage to what he brings to the table.” Both of Roland’s touchdown runs came from the 1-yard line, with the first putting the Cowboys up 7-3, a lead they wouldn’t relinquish throughout the game. It was important for the Cowboys to get Roland back not only for his onthe-field talent, but also his intangibles. With Roland out last week, an injury to quarterback J.W. Walsh left the offense without its two main leaders. “It was real hard,” Roland said. “I feel like we didn’t have that leader on our side of the field. Once J-Dub got hurt, I think

we all got a little down and upset about that. We didn’t have nobody to just bring the troops together.” Roland made sure that wasn’t an issue this week. “I had to get everybody and tell them to come on and start playing,” he said. “We keep letting them hang in, they’re going to beat us, so we picked it up and starting making plays as an offense.” Defensive tackle James Castleman has seen Roland’s leadership at work. “He’s a go-getter,” Castleman said. “… He’s always uplifting, pushing somebody, teaching somebody, everything. “To have him out there tonight was great. I loved it. I love watching him. I love seeing how he held people up, teaching the guys.” It was strange for OSU to be without Roland, who played in 25 of 26 games in 2012 and 2013. OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich described Roland as tough, durable and dependable. “He brings a dynamic package ’cause he’s strong,” Yurcich said. “He carries the ball well. He secures it well, and he understands pass protections. … That’s what you want out of a tailback, the complete package.” Rennie Childs and Tyreek Hill complement Roland in the backfield. Even with those two also garnering carries, Roland is the workhorse of the group. “I value it a lot,” Roland

Notebook: Garman likes the deep ball

Jhajuan Seales catches a 32-yard pass from Daxx Garman in Saturday’s game against UTSA at Boone Pickens Stadium.

Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim

Daxx Garman brings to the offense what Oklahoma State fans have wanted from J.W. Walsh all along: deep throws. Garman aired it out to fans’ delight, leaving them to watch anxiously and see if a Cowboy could pull it down. They probably didn’t expect him to look downfield as often as he did, though. In OSU’s 43-13 win against UTSA on Saturday night, Garman completed

16 passes for 315 yards and two touchdowns. Five of those completions were good for more than 30 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown pass to James Washington in the first quarter. But more often than not, Garman seemed to pass first and look for open receivers later. “I think we went through a little bit of a learning phase with him,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “We have to take advantage of his ability to throw downfield. He settled on his own. He was fine.” Although Garman’s ability to throw an accurate deep

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

ball is valuable, both Gundy and offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich are looking for him to be patient and look to intermediary targets as well as those running 30 yards down the sideline. “We can help him out, I can help him out a lot by trying to keep it a little bit more simple for him,” Yurcich said. “I think his mistakes were he was thinking too much, and that’s a direct reflection of my ability to make sure that we’re not making it too complex. “You’re taking those shots downfield and you have to live by the sword or die by the sword, so to speak.”

OFFENSIVE LINE STRUGGLING With a young unit and a new coach, the offensive line can be expected to face some growing pains this season. However, allowing four sacks along with pressure on the quarterback against UTSA is not what the Cowboys need to deal with. Conference play begins next Thursday, and Gundy said the team can’t afford to have the offensive line struggling to hold its own. “We’re going to have to move people out of there if we’re going to play in this league because we aren’t

O’COLLY

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

going to be able to protect and throw the ball down the field every game,” Gundy said. LAMPKIN IMPROVES The defense seemed ready to play its second straight game without forcing a turnover. Then, on the final play, cornerback Ashton Lampkin picked off UTSA quarterback Blake Bogenschutz and ran it back 50 yards for a touchdown. Fellow starting cornerback Kevin Peterson said Lampkin has come a long way in the two weeks since

playing against Florida State. Lampkin picked off a pass in that game as well, but it was accompanied by several pass interference and defensive holding calls. This time, his game was clean. “He’s been good since we came to the school together,” Peterson said. “We’re roommates now, and he’s been doing as best as he can. People don’t really throw at him a lot now; today, I think he only got like three or four passes. But he’s really had it, he’s just now getting his opportunities.” sports@ocolly.com PAGE 8

Asphalt Orchestra rocks the Seretean Amy Leet @OColly

It was 7:45 Friday night, and the Seretean Center slowly started to fill up. With each passing minute, the number of spectators in the auditorium increased. They walked through the double doors on either side of the room, down the aisle and to their seats. It was a cold night for early September, but the Seretean Center was warm. Fall jackets hung off the

shoulders of audience members and littered the backs of the auditorium seats. Everyone patiently waited for the Asphalt Orchestra to take the stage. The Asphalt Orchestra is a street band from New York City. It has made its way around the United States and Canada, played at London’s Barbican Centre, at the TED Women conference in Washington D.C., and at New York’s Alice Tully Hall and Metropolitan Museum of Art. Asphalt Orchestra was the first of six performances to be hosted by the OSU Allied Arts office through-

out the 2014-15 school year. The faint sounds of drums and brass drifted down the left side of the auditorium as the band warmed up backstage. People repeated, “Excuse me” as they squeezed through the filled rows, making their way to their seats. At 7:53 the crowd seemed anxious as 8 p.m., showtime, slowly approached. A few friends in the front row took a selfie, and a few people were caught playing video games on their phone, trying to pass the time. At 8:06 the curtains

opened and Coordinator of Allied Arts Brandon Mitts walked to center stage to introduce the Asphalt Orchestra. The lights in the house dimmed and a group of 12 quirky New Yorkers ran on stage, instruments hanging from their necks. With perfectly planned choreography, the orchestra members bounced around the stage with a childlike enthusiasm that most likely made every audience member want to hop on stage and join them. This was the first time the band played in Oklahoma. Upon revealing this information to the audience, the

band received welcoming applause and cheers from the audience. Spectator Madison Richardson said she enjoyed the lively music and the laidback outfits the members wore. “They did look like asphalt, they were dressed like asphalt,” Richardson said, “It was kind of fun and non-traditional.” The members’ outfits, consisting of blue and gray shades, and their deniminspired, New York style mixed with their fast-paced and exciting music choices brought skyscrapers to Stillwater.

Every song they performed had gusto and excitement. There wasn’t a moment during the performance in which the audience members weren’t smiling. The powerful brass and soulful tunes kept everyone engaged and delighted throughout the performance. The next installment of the OSU Allied Arts Performance series is on Oct. 14 with Gaelic singer and Scottish music star Julie Fowlis. Tickets are available in advance at alliedarts. okstate.edu or at the door. news@ocolly.com

ifc: ifc donations will ease homecoming finances.

From Page 5 groups,” Parkerson said. “This year we will be adding an additional $25,000 directly back to the student groups.” Even though the Branding Success campaign is scheduled to end this year, Batchelder said the Alumni Association will continue fundraising due to the continual need. Also, despite the substantial contribution, Batchelder said the most important aspect of the contribution is to encourage others to follow IFC’s example. Edmonds said he is excited about the progress

made but knows it is only a start. “It’s really not a significant thing as far as the fundraising goes,” he said. “But what it does is show that we are willing to put forth even more effort so the big-time donors can come back and see that if (IFC is) willing to fund this, they should be willing to fund this.” This means not only are more donations from traditional alumni donors and community sponsors required, but also IFC and the Alumni Association want to persuade other student groups to make similar commitments. Batchelder, Parkerson and the Alumni Association will be making a similar presentation next month after PanHellenic Council, the governing body for sororities, showed inter-

est in the concept. The potentially controversial aspect that has garnered some concern in the Greek Community is every fraternity is contributing to the endowment, including those that don’t build floats, house decorations or compete in the sweepstakes competition. Edmonds said it is important everyone contributes. “Speaking from a chapter that doesn’t do Homecoming, I talked to them personally, and they are all in support of it,” he said. “We understand that Homecoming is such a giant part of our Greek Life and OSU as a whole. So any way we can make that better and our Greek Life better is something worth pursuing.” news@ocolly.com
