after pilot program, osu introduces beer to sporting venues H allie Hart E d i tor-in -c h ief @ halliehart

When football fans file into Boone Pickens Stadium for Oklahoma State’s season opener, they will encounter a multitude of new features.

They will see an enormous video board on the exterior wall of Gallagher-Iba Arena that faces Lewis Field. “Cool zones” in the venue will offer them fans, misters and free water stations.

And if they’re 21 or older, they can buy beer without leaving the stadium.

Starting fall 2018, OSU is introducing beer sales to its sporting venues, OSU Athletics announced Thursday in a press release. OSU will also enact a no re-entry policy this season at football games.

In Boone Pickens Stadium, as many as 22 sites next to concession stands will vend beer, including craft selections. Sodexo, OSU’s concessions partner, will manage the beer sales.

In a meeting Dec. 1, 2017, the Board of Regents for the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges approved a proposal to implement a pilot program for alcohol sales to the general public at OSU athletic events, no longer limiting beer vending to guests in club levels or suites. This pilot plan was enacted at Cowboy baseball games and WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2018

Cowgirl softball games throughout the spring 2018 season.

During OSU baseball’s first two-game weekend series at home, attendees bought 290 beers.

At each game, fans with proper identification were permitted to purchase alcohol until the end of the seventh-inning stretch.

Chad Weiberg, OSU’s deputy director of athletics, said he noticed two favorable outcomes of the pilot program.

“I think the feedback that we got from the fans was very positive about it,” Weiberg said. “Also, it did not have an impact on the fans that chose not to partake in it, either.

That was something that we watched very closely, and both of those were answered positively.”

After reporting the announcement Thursday, the O’Colly received an assortment of reactions on Facebook and Twitter. Many commenters said they looked forward to purchasing alcohol at sporting events, but others expressed worries about beer spills on seats and potential fights.

Beverly Drysch, a California resident and a mother of two OSU students, said she supports the beer sales but isn’t sure if the no re-entry policy is necessary.

“I don’t think that’s gonna affect the way beer sales go one way or another,” Drysch said in a phone interview. “I think monitoring it with ID

checks and some kind of hand stamp so you’re not overserving is probably a better way to handle it.”

Weiberg said OSU’s goal is to keep fans in the venue during games, from kickoff through the second half.

“We also firmly believe that our fans are part of our team,” Weiberg said.

Lynnea Berges, a marketing and human resource management junior at OSU, said she knows many students drink before football games and then leave after the first two quarters to imbibe more.

“Hopefully, this will give them a reason to actually stay in the stands,” Berges said in a phone interview.

As changes to the game day atmosphere are implemented, Weiberg is considering fans’ safety.

He said patrons can’t buy more than two alcoholic beverages per trip to a concession site, and beer vendors will have proper training and certification.

Berges said she hopes vendors can identify symptoms of alcohol poisoning and overheating, not selling alcohol to those who are dangerously intoxicated.

“I know alcohol dehydrates you very quickly, and that stadium gets very hot very quickly,” Berges said.

At each football game, sales will stop at the start of the fourth quarter.

“We are striving to provide the best experi-

ence possible for our great Cowboy fans in and around Boone Pickens Stadium,” Weiberg said in a tweet Thursday.

“Information we gathered in this process indicates binge drinking decreases on campus when beer is available in stadiums.”

In a press release, Leon Jones, OSU’s chief of police, expressed a similar perspective.

“These changes will enhance game day safety,” Jones said. “Other schools that we have talked to have experienced a decrease in overall consumption and overuse of alcohol in and around their stadiums once they

introduced sales in the venue, and we believe the same could happen at Boone Pickens Stadium.”

Weiberg said Sodexo is also the concessionaire for Texas and West Virginia, the other Big 12 schools that sell alcohol at athletic venues.

The Mountaineers made the decision first, starting beer sales in 2011, their last season in the Big East.

Texas implemented alcohol sales at athletic events Feb. 28, 2014, at its softball team’s Texas Invitational Tournament. Darrell K RoyalTexas Memorial Stadium, Texas’ football venue,

started offering beer and wine to fans during the fall 2015 football season, said Matthew Watkins of The Texas Tribune.

The choice was popular.

After Texas’ first football season of vending alcoholic beverages, it made $1.8 million from alcohol sales, according to Texas records that Benjamin Wermund cited in the Houston Chronicle.

Wermund said that figure constituted more than half of the concession sales that season at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

Texas’ stadium can hold 40,119 more people than Boone Pickens Stadium, but Weiberg said OSU Athletics can look at alcohol sales in venues with a capacity similar to OSU’s to estimate the monetary result. One 16-ounce beer will likely cost $8, according to OSU Athletics, though a list of alcohol prices hasn’t been released.

Drysch said she would like to see the revenue benefit all of OSU Athletics, not only high-profile sports such as football.

She has one daughter on OSU’s equestrian team and another daughter who is a former Cowgirl equestrian athlete.

“If it supports athletics, I’m all for it,” Drysch said. “I don’t know if they’re thinking about big sponsorships. I think that is a great idea as long as they keep it to a minimum.”

practice shows new cowboys reality of college basketball H allie Hart E d i tor-in -c h ief @ halliehart

The newcomers exchanged glances, looking for solutions they didn’t have.

The players in orange jerseys were overpowering them, and they couldn’t find a way to stop it.

As coach Mike Boynton watched, the scene that unfolded on Eddie Sutton Court didn’t surprise him.

The Oklahoma State men’s basketball team has completed six of its 10 practices for its August tour in Europe. At the fourth practice, Boynton decided to give the Cowboys a taste of a live scrimmage.

He didn’t take it easy on his new team members, pitting them against the more experienced players.

Thomas Dziagwa, Cameron McGriff and Lindy WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2018

Waters were on the orange team, along with Curtis Jones and Michael Weathers, who sat out last season because of transfer eligibility rules. The team in black jerseys included newcomers Maurice Calloo, Mike Cunningham, Duncan Demuth, Kentrevious Jones and Isaac Likekele.

Despite the new Cowboys’ shaky start, Boynton said he was happy with what he saw. He explained that it’s early preparation for the tough competition they’ll face this year.

“They’ll go out there for the first time in November at some point, and it’ll be real,” Boynton said. “There will be guys on the other team who undoubtedly will have much more experience than they will. That’s why this time of year and this trip and being able to do this is so important for this group.”

T.C. Brewster/O’COLLY

OSU men’s basketball coach Mike Boynton is preparing the Cowboys for their 10-day European tour in August.

Cunningham said he didn’t expect his team to struggle so much.

“I don’t like losing like that, so it kind of hit me a little hard,” Cunningham said. “I gotta understand that I’m still trying to learn.”

Cunningham hasn’t competed as a Cowboy before, but he is no stranger to college basketball. He is

a graduate transfer guard from University of South Carolina Upstate, where he played for three seasons after redshirting. Cunningham, who is older than his teammates, has the eagerto-learn attitude of a young player.

“I’m used to being the guy that knows everything on the court,” Cunningham

OCOLLY.COM

said. “Now, I’m starting from ground zero, learning everything all over again just like a freshman would.”

Although the orange team dominated in practice, Boynton ensured the experienced athletes had to work. In the four-minute mini scrimmage, he started the orange team in an eightpoint deficit and let the players in black jerseys have the ball first.

Waters, a junior forward, said watching the freshmen play has made him wonder about his first year at OSU. “Did I look like them my freshman year?” Waters asked staff members, thinking he didn’t.

“Yes,” they told him.

Waters might have forgotten where he started because of his recent growth on the court, but that gives him more optimism for his teammates.

“It’s a positive thing for them because whenever, two years, or next year down the line, they should be right in my shoes,” Waters said.

When Waters and his fellow upperclassmen aren’t competing against the new players, they’re uniting with them and helping them polish their skills. Waters is embracing his leadership role.

“We’ve made leaps and bounds already,” Waters said. “With the leadership on our shoulders, it takes it off of Coach’s. I think it helps our freshmen understand better what we’re trying to teach them as well, and I think that’s a big step with us.”

colvin recreation center undergoes large-scale renovations J oe l Dev ick S taff R epo rt er @ j o elyr an c h 3 r

Oklahoma State students staying in Stillwater this summer might have noticed that the construction work that has almost taken over campus has found its way inside the main recreation building.

Renovations on the Colvin Recreation Center have been in full swing for much of the summer at OSU. The final product of nearly a year of planning and months of research is less than three weeks away from reaching completion.

Todd Misener, the chief wellness officer at OSU, is heading the department during the biggest upgrade the Colvin has received since WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2018

Isaac dennis/O’COLLY

This summer, the Colvin Recreation Center at Oklahoma State is undergoing its first major renovation since 2004.

2004. After opening in the 1960s, the Colvin has gone through a series of facelifts, but none have been more dramatic than the one that is scheduled to finish on Aug. 3.

Gone are the large center ramp that ran through the main atrium of the Colvin and

the half-walls that surrounded the old weight area. A new open-concept layout will take their place. The new design of the inside underwent extensive Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) review to ensure that the Colvin would maintain its disability friendly

status. Some smaller changes include redone racquetball courts and a new performance studio.

A significant detail of the revamp of the Colvin is that no new fee, student or otherwise, has been allocated to fund the project, but rather an accumulation of unspent revenue was used.

“This is a facility for students … (so) we by no means wanted to add an additional fee for students for this particular project,” Misener said.

Replacing the aging weight and cardio equipment and improving the layout and function of the Colvin have been the main goals of the renovation, said Matt Beck, associate director of the wellness department, and Doug Aaron, the wellness depart-

ment facilities maintenance manager.

The old cardio and weight machines will be replaced with new ones from Life Fitness and Hammer Strength, two of the premier names in the world of workout equipment.

“We got what we wanted,” Beck said. “The students are going to get an excellent product because we’ve went through approximately a year-long process of vetting everything out, and we’re doing it the right way, and it’s not rushed.”

Along with new equipment, lots of “America’s Brightest Orange,” a color that wasn’t prominent in the Colvin before the renovation, is getting added to the interior and walls. can.

“We definitely want the ‘wow’ factor,” Aaron said.

Although the Colvin renovation is a huge project happening while most of the students are gone on vacation, it is just the tip of the iceberg in a multi-faceted master plan for the future of the wellness department. Beck said this project’s completion will prove that the slogan the wellness department uses is not something it takes lightly.

“Big things (are ahead),” Beck said. “We’re not just saying ‘America’s Healthiest Campus.’ We’re actually striving to be that.”

top-5 coming-of-age films

STILLWATER’S MOST LUXURIOUS LIVING

J ustin Com eau S taff R epo rt er @ o c olly

The “coming of age” film genre is a unique one that can create varying emotions for a variety of audience members.

As the name indicates, it often captures the life of youth at a specific time and place. Here are five of the best this genre has to offer.

5. John Hughes’ “The Breakfast Club”

Hughes’ filmography proves that he knows how to make “coming of age” films that multiple generations will remember and adore. This 1983 flick is arguably his best, as no film before it or since dives into the varying social statuses of high school students with as much truth and raw emotion. The audience gets to spend a day with a jock, a burnout, a princess, an outcast and a nerd as they sit through Saturday detention together. Although this film does acknowledge the unifying fact that we all might have more in common than what meets the eye, social cliques are a harsh reality that in many ways will never fully be dissolved.

4. Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Outsiders”

Here’s a heavyweight Hollywood director shooting a film in Tulsa. Two young “gangs” measure up against each other in 1965. Although the conflict is the rich Socs versus the poor Greasers, Coppola makes the members of the Greasers our main protagonists, creating a classic underdog story that people love WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2018

Alphaville/gramercy pictures

Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused” is a classic coming-of-age film that takes place in the 1970s.

to root for. This is a smaller film compared to some of his previous epics like “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now,” but Coppola’s unique style is there without a doubt.

3. Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous”

A quick departure from the small town narrative, this film follows a 15-year-old kid who gets involved in the 1970s rock ‘n’ roll scene. In awe of bands like Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and The Who, the protagonist finds himself in over his head as he gets the chance to tour with an up-and-coming band named “Stillwater,” acting as the group’s writer/reporter. Film lovers who also happen to dig 1970s classic rock, you’re welcome.

2. Rob Reiner’s “Stand By Me”

Stephen King tends to be less than impressed when it comes to adaptations of his stories on the big screen.

However, King was more than pleased with how accurately Reiner portrayed this story and its characters in a cinematic format. The story follows four middle-school-aged friends who spend one of their last

days of summer traveling on foot in search of an alleged dead body. It is a heartwarming adventure that reminds the viewer how beautiful and life-changing great friendships can be.

1. Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused”

A film could be critically acclaimed for creating such a compelling story with believable characters that audience members almost forget they are watching a movie.

It is tough to find a better example of this than Linklater’s ‘70s-era high school stoner comedy. It follows different groups of teenagers in a small town on the last day of school/ first day of summer. Most people can watch this film and identify with at least one of the many memorable characters.

Truly capturing the ‘70s, this film is great to throw on at a party or with your old high school friends on a summer night.
