Mak Vandruff Staff Reporter Fall of 2020 was not enjoyable for anyone. There weren’t many events, a lot of classes were online, and COVID-19 controlled most of what students could do on campus. Fortunately, 2021 is packed with plenty of fun and exciting things to do this fall season. September is almost over, but it’s still got a couple of things left in store for students. On Sept. 23 the campus will come alive with color as students participate in chalk wars. Edmon Low is the area for the event, and people will either compete as a single artist or a group. The deadline to join in has already passed, but stop by to see the wonderful artwork and watch students win free prizes for displaying their chalk drawing skills. Morale at OSU will be at a high on Sept. 25 as Kansas State comes to town. Spirit is a group that holds a bunch of different events to inspire confidence, and they will continue to do so as they lead the cheerleaders, pom squad, marching band, and football team down Hester Street for the home game Spirit Walk. For the last event of September, there is going to be a music-filled evening in the Student Union Plaza. Enjoy an open mic night on Sept. 29, where students can step up to the plate and sing their favorite song or listen to the other students belt their hearts out. If one’s not a singer, do not worry, students also have a chance to read the best poem. It is sad to see the September events flying by so fast, but October is right around the corner. See the full list of events posted up in the Student Union. Spooky month holds a whole new set of events for students to enjoy, including painting pumpkins, watching scary movies, stuffing their own plushies, and plenty more. Go have some fun this fall season and make the most of 2021. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

COVID-19 and other strains in animals Annika Warren Staff Reporter
In late 2019 and early 2020, the Coronavirus Pandemic made its appearance in humans, and animals have been vaccinated against different strains of the virus. Dr. Sunil More, a veterinary pathologist and assistant professor at Oklahoma State said the COVID-19 can be transferred from humans to animals in close contact. Caroline Kizziar, a freshman English pre-law major and pet owner, said she did not know COVID-19 could be transferred to animals. For her, she said it makes her concerned for her dog. Although it is transmissible, Dr. Rosalyn Biggs, director of continuing education at the college of veterinary medicine said, it is uncommon. However in animals, there is a specific type of animal that is more likely to get infected. Dr. More said minks are more likely to get SARS-CoV-2 from humans. Minks are also more likely to get sick because of the close contact at Mink fur farms. There are multiple types of animals that can be infected with SARS-CoV-2. In a statement, the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) said there have been some reports of COVID-19 in pets like the average house cat and large animals in zoos. However, most of these animals are infected after being in contact with an individual sick with COVID-19. The CDC also reports the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 is considered to be low. There are also specific types of coronaviruses that stay within certain animal species, for example, CRCoV, the canine respiratory coronavirus, and CCoV, the canine coronavirus that causes diarrhea. CRCoV and CCoV are not the same virus as Covid-19. Although humans can transfer COVID-19 to animals, it is uncommon. File photo

OSU icons as enneagram types File Photo
Ann Hargis represents a type 2 on the enneagram.
Ellen Slater Lifestyle Editor The enneagram is a common personality test among college students. There are nine different types of personalities on the enneagram. Here is what enneagram type goes with what Oklahoma State icon! Type 1: Dr. Kayce Shrum Type one: the reformers. Dr. Shrum is a token type one, and surely fellow type ones can relate to her. With her careful studies and prestigious background, she is sure to be organized and goal-oriented. Type ones are idealistic, which matches with Dr. Shrum’s resume as she has had many great accomplishments in her career. Type 2: Ann Hargis Type two: the givers. Type twos want to help people and Ann Hargis is a perfect example. Between starting Pete’s Pet Posse to giving people rides on her famous golf cart Clementine, Mrs. Hargis was definitely a giver. She wants to bring comfort to other people and she brings a smile to all. Type 3: Burns Hargis Type three: the achiever. Who
is more of an achiever and radiates type three energy than former President Burns Hargis? Type threes are natural leaders, which makes sense with Hargis. Type threes are successoriented. They have a strong drive and love to be involved in their communities. Type threes are bound to relate to Burns Hargis. Type 4: B-Les Type four: the individualist. No one is more individual than B-Les himself. As the hype man for OSU, he is all about expressing himself (and his love for OSU) as well as expressing his individuality, which are two classic traits of a type four. Type 5: Nancy Randolph Davis Type five: the thinker. Type fives can relate to icon and human science building namesake, Nancy Randolph Davis. Davis is a way maker and is an inspiration to all OSU students for her studies and life experiences. In relation, type fives love to learn new things and gain knowledge. Type fives are curious, and Nancy Randolph Davis was never short of curiosity as she was a lifelong learner and paved the way for many. Type 6: Pistol Pete Type six: the loyalist. Of course, Pistol Pete is just as about loyal and true as it gets. Type sixes are quality team players, and Pistol Pete is the See Enneagram on 4

SFC Welcomes Back a Fellow OSU Alumni! Monica Harden, D.O. is Now Accepting New Patients of All Ages
OUR FINEST HOUR! In the beginning days of the 2nd World War, England was in terrible straits. Nazi Germany had conquered all of western Europe. Only the English channel separated England from the German army. They were being bombed relentlessly. It seemed hopeless. Prime Minister Winston Churchill challenged the people not to give up. He said, “If the British empire lasts a thousand years, may it be said; this was their finest hour.” He said, “We will fight them in the streets. We will fight them in the fields. We will fight them in the hills. We will never give up!” The British won in the end. It was their finest hour!

It is easy to think one’s finest hour is when everything seems to be going well and there is great success, however the depth of a person’s commitment and heart most likely is found during the hard times. Jesus’ eternal exaltation came not from some successful outward exploit, but “but being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name...every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” (Phil.2:8-11) The cross was his finest hour!
The apostle tells us that everything works together for good in the Christian’s life to make us more like Jesus. (Ro.8:28-29) When we have the opportunities to serve in difficult situations; when we face hard decisions and challenges and walk on with God, we are on our way to being conformed to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is time to trust God’s love and faithfulness and walk with him. This hardship may be our finest hour!

Enneagram... Continued from 3 most consistent player on the field or court no matter what season or sport it is. Type sixes can relate to Pistol Pete through their hard work mentality and loyally to the communities in their lives. Type 7: Mr. Orange Power Type seven: the enthusiast. Type sevens are energetic in everything they do and are always the life of the party. So, of course, the perfect match is Mr. Orange Power. The fan is known for being at all of the OSU football games is always there to spread the spirit, just as a type seven would. When type sevens go to Boone Pickens Stadium, they are always bringing energy. Type sevens are busy and spontaneous, just like Mr. Orange Power. Type 8: Mike Gundy Type eight: the challenger. Type eights can be described as “self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational,” which sounds a lot like head football coach Mike Gundy. Type eights have no issue with confrontation, just like when Gundy made it clear in his “I’m a man, I’m 40,” press conference. Type 9: Baby Bullet Type nines: the peacemakers. Type nines are just there to bring peace, no conflict. Type nines are a lot like Baby Bullet; they do not want to cause issues, rather just be in calm situations. Baby Bullet looks up to Bullet, just like how type nines love and look up to the people in their lives. Type nines like making the people around them happy, and it is pretty clear Baby Bullet does a pretty good job at that. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

Cowgirls prepare for conference play Calif Poncy Staff Reporter After a somewhat tumultuous nonconference schedule to start the season, Oklahoma State is ready to start Big 12 play. After going on a small skid, with losses to Brown and SMU, the Cowgirls rounded back into form heading into conference, rattling of wins in their last two games against Omaha and Weber State.
The impact of injuries on OSU’s season thus far cannot be overstated. The Cowgirls have been forced to play games without Kim Rodriguez, Olyvia Dowell, Gabriella Coleman, and Charme Morgan. Rodriguez’s injury to her ankle kept her out of five games, while Dowell was held out of three games following an upper leg injury, the others missed games for undisclosed reasons. While these injuries significantly hindered the Cowgirls throughout a large portion of the schedule to this point, including losses to Brown and SMU, both played without Rodriguez, OSU’s health is trending in the right direction heading into their upcoming contest with Baylor.
Game Day Ready with Greige!
_
Grace Yochum, Dowell and Rodriguez have gotten a few games with all of them heathy, and coach Colin Carmichael believes the trio’s success will have a dramatic impact on the team’s chances of winning the league this season. “If our big three, which isn’t any secret, Dowell, Rodriguez and Yochum, when they are on the field, and not just on the field but close to 100% healthy, when those kids play well we can beat anybody,” Carmichael said. With the level of talent that the Cowgirls have been missing throughout the season, the team has taken on a number of different identities. Sometimes, like against Wright State, they show themselves to be a dominant defensive unit. Other times,
like their early season battle with Pitt in which they fell 3-2, offense is the team’s primary focus, but the team is showing some signs of reaching their potential. “I think you saw a little more of who we want to be offensively this weekend, there was better movement, better ball retention, better passing, and I think that comes with Kim (Rodriguez) and Yochs (Grace Yochum) in there together, it makes us more comfortable on the ball, we just need to be more lethal in front of the goal,” Carmichael said.

OSU will hope to keep that kind of success going will the Wildcats look to slow them back down. Weakness: Air attack Where KSU flourished in the run game, they struggled to move the ball through the air in all games this season. The passing attack has been led by both senior Skylar Thompson and sophomore Will Howard with Thompson being the most recent one to take snaps for the Wildcats Both quarterbacks have had trouble finding their targets so far this season and the KSU passing offense ranks 117 in the nation. The Wildcat quarterbacks have a combined total of 449 yards going 29-48 through the air and three interceptions. Whichever quarterback is on the field Saturday

Weakness: Inconsistent wide receiver While it may be due to struggles at the quarterback this season, the wide receivers for the Wildcats this season have been inconsistent so far. Junior wide receiver Malik Knowles did have four receptions for 112 yards against Southern Illinois, that has been the only real showing for Knowles this season. Otherwise, Knowles only found receptions in the Standford game where he had only two receptions for 35 yards. Senior tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe has also only found little success this season with three receptions for 106 yards. The Wildcats have really struggled through the air this season and it is not going to get any easier against an aggressive Cowboys defense. sports.ed@ocolly.com
