Cameron University hosted the Red River Career Expo from 3-6 p.m. on March 7 at the Aggie Rec Center.

The primary purpose of a college career fair is to provide students with opportunities to explore potential career paths, connect with employers, and gather information about internships and job opportunities. These events bridge academia and the professional world, allowing students to engage directly with representatives from various industries.

Spanning across the basketball court, the career fair featured about fifty booths from a wide range of companies, including Fortune 500 corporations, local businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Representatives from these entities engaged with students, discussing career paths, job requirements and their application processes.

“Don’t be afraid to talk to people. Don’t be afraid to share what you’re interested in. Don’t pass it up because it doesn’t look good at first glance.”

building and interview strategies to navigating the complexities of the job market, attendees had the opportunity to arm themselves with the tools and knowledge necessary to thrive in their professional endeavors.

City of Lawton accounting department representative Kaitlin Nunley mentioned the variety of jobs the city offers.

“Being the municipality, we have a ton of departments that can fit a ton of different majors and a ton of different personalities,” Nunley said. “What would you be interested in? Where can we fit you at?”

In the dynamic landscape of today's job market, companies can now offer a wide array of employment opportunities across various industries and sectors. From tech giants and conglomerates to innovative startups and global corporations, these multifaceted companies cater to a broad spectrum of skills, interests and career aspirations.

In her role as a potential employer, Nunley offered a distinctive viewpoint on the qualities and attributes sought by employers.

Red River Career Expo Network, Explore and Connect

With many freshmen and sophomores also attending the career fair, Cunningham wanted to offer a piece of advice for future expos.

“Make sure you have a resume, and make sure you know the actual steps of your career,” Cunningham said. “Some of them require internships, some of them require, you know, two years of work beforehand.”

Despite the large number of companies there, some students, like senior Benetria Cunningham, expressed their disappointment in the lack of diversity.

“I think there should have been a little bit more variety of options because I feel like they didn't have a lot,” Cunningham said.

The career fair also served as a platform for students to gain invaluable insights and advice from seasoned professionals.

From resume

Cameron University’s Work-Based Learning Experiences Coordinator, Isabella Myers, played an executive role in organizing the fair. Many factors and steps are required to host an event like the Career Expo: contacting vendors from those who attend every year to new companies, community outreach, networking and much more.

Myers’ main goal is to set students up for success after graduation.

“I just really wanna get our students jobs after they graduate,” Myers said. “You see a lot of students who have such potential through working with them and it's like — how do I get other people to see their potential?”

Local businesses and companies that attended included, but were not limited to, Scissortail Children’s School, Comanche County Memorial Hospital, KSWO, KCCU-FM and the City of Lawton.

“Don’t be afraid to talk to people. Don’t be afraid to share what you’re interested in,” Nunley said. “Don’t pass it up because it doesn’t look good at first glance.”

Students should take full advantage of the career fair. Some goals to strive for going into the expo include networking, recruitment opportunities, engaging with alumni and professional development. Nunley wanted students to understand the importance of networking.

“Don't skip booths. Even if you think they might not be hiring something you want, you never know what you may miss,” Nunley said. “Don't skip connections, you know, if somebody offers you their card — take it.”

College CU Style

Sarah Monk Staff Writer

From cowboy hats to skinny jeans, students at Cameron University blend a style of comfort, individuality and the latest trends on their campus.

Stepping onto campus isn’t just a journey into higher education, but also an immersion to the microcosm of trends within the fashion of students.

The undisputed champion of college fashion and comfort meets style; athleisure remains supreme.

Sweatpants, leggings, and oversized hoodies with sneakers, create the campus atmosphere, allowing students for a comfortable yet stylish fit for classes.

For some students, what defines the athleisure wear is the overall practicality for campus activities, but athleisure wear isn’t always available to students such as Hannah Owens, who works a full-time position outside of campus.

“When I lived on campus, I definitely wore like, sweatpants and stuff to class a little bit more,” she said. “But now that I live off campus and work full time, I have to be able to come to campus in work-appropriate clothes.”

For men, activewear might mean a practical and stylish approach to balancing fitness and academic pursuits.

This begs the question, is it the actual comfort of the clothing or being comfortable in mainstream wear?

However, there are others who may prefer a more grungy look, like Cameron student Matthew Halsey, who says he prefers an outdated style.

“If I had to fit a fashion trend, for me, it’s definitely athletic wear, even though I don’t wear it a lot,” he said. “Actually, skinny jeans, skinny jeans. It’s definitely the trend I take on, but it’s kind of died out.”

In many ways, campus fashion has been influenced by where Cameron is located. Living within the heart of the plains, Oklahomans carry their own blend of culture and tradition. Owens explained that outside of athleisure, she sees primarily men in western attire.

“You have your guys on campus that are definitely southern, with their button ups, jeans and cowboy boots,” she said. Rapid change of style can also be attributed to Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather; from hot, dry

summers to frigid winters, the styles range from athleisure, such as basketball shorts and tank tops, to traditional lean cuts of denim.

At Cameron, there’s a noticeable spectrum of fashion choices that surround campus; however, through its trendy styles, Owens believes there’s an opportunity for more diverse looks to surround campus.

“I don’t see many really dark, like, goth styles here quite yet,” she said. “We’re not in New York; we’re in the midwest.”

Lack of gothic substyles could be due in part to Oklahoma’s weather, or the overall lack of availability compared to metropolitan areas.

At the end of the day, the fashion landscape at Cameron mirrors its diverse students and its diverse subcultures.

Fashion serves as a powerful form of personal connection between students and others on campus.

Powerful Women in History

Brittney Payette Managing Editor

In honor of March being Women’s History Month, I want to discuss some of the amazing female leaders who have existed in the past, some of whom may not have been discussed in history classes at school.

The first remarkable woman I want to talk about is Nancy Wake.

According to the Jewish Virtual Library, Wake was part of a British Intelligence agency called the British Special Operations Executive (SOE).

She became known as “The White Mouse” because of her renowned ability to evade the Gestapo (the Nazi Secret State Police) in World War II.

Wake led a team of 7,000 people against about 22,000 German forces in the area to weaken the German posts in preparation for D-Day.

She also rode her bike 310 miles through German checkpoints to London to reestablish contact with London after codes were lost because of a German raid.

Without the codes, no supplies or ammunition could be provided because the Allies would not have the location information. She became the most decorated Allied servicewoman.

She received a number of medals including the George Medal from the United Kingdom, three military decorations from France along with the French Resistance Medal as well as the Medal of Freedom from the United States.

The next powerful female historical figure I want to discuss is Queen Amina, who was a warrior and a queen in Zazzau in what is now Northern Nigeria.

According to Blackpast.org, Amina became the lead warrior in her kingdom’s army for ten years, beginning in 1566 after the death of her parents and the crowning of her brother as king. She became Queen in 1576 after the death of her brother.

Amina expanded her kingdom’s borders through several strategic battles in neighboring towns and would personally lead her army of 20,000 soldiers to nearby towns to conquer them.

She also dominated regional trade routes and became a phenomenal architect who is credited with defensive earthen walls around her cities and military camps.

Additionally, another impressive female from history is Ching Shih, who is known by many as the most successful pirate in history.

She was born into poverty and was a prostitute before becoming an incredibly successful pirate lord.

According to Annebonnypirate.com, this pirate queen led an enormous fleet known as the Red Flag Fleet of around 1,800 ships and was in charge of an estimated 70,000 crew members. She took over the fleet after the death of her husband, Cheng I, in 1807.

Shih created and enforced strict pirate codes.

Some of the codes included the execution (often the decapitation) of pirates who gave unsanctioned orders or who disobeyed orders and punishments such as flogging or mutilation for deserters.

What was unusual about these codes was that they were more protective of women than other pirate codes.

Rape was punishable by death, and if the one of the pirates took a bride, they had to be faithful to her or be punished.

Shih negotiated diplomatically with Chinese officials in Canton and was granted amnesty and allowed her to keep all of her loot. Her pirates were also allowed to renounce their former lives and join the empire.

Another important woman was Virginia Apgar, who was an American doctor.

She became the director of the Division of Anesthesia at Columbia University in 1938.

She received her education from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and was the first female to become a full professor at Columbia University in 1949. She is known for creating what is known as the APGAR score.

The APGAR score system allowed for a rapid, standardized assessment to determine the health status of a newborn after birth.

The acronym, which she created using her last name, stands for Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration (APGAR.)

The APGAR score has saved the lives of countless newborns since its creation in 1952.

Some of Apgar’s other accomplishments included becoming a senior executive with the National Foundation March of Dimes and an induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY, in

1995.

The next woman I wish to talk about is someone relevant to my Bachelor’s degree of Psychology and my current degree I am pursuing (Master of Arts in Mental Health.)

Her name is Mary Whiton Calkins, and she was an American Psychologist. According to womenshistory. org, she was allowed to audit Harvard classes despite it being a male-only institution at the time.

Her professor, William James, tutored Calkins individually because the male students dropped out of James’ seminar upon her inclusion.

Calkins completed all of the degree requirements, but she was denied her doctoral degree solely because of her gender.

Harvard University denied Calkins her doctorate in 1895.

Calkins and three other women who had done graduate work at Harvard were offered doctoral degrees from Radcliffe college, which was the women’s college associated with Harvard that only did undergraduate degrees.

Since then, there are still petitions to allow Calkins to be rightfully granted her Ph.D. posthumously.

To this day, Harvard refuses to grant her the degree she so rightfully deserves.

Despite all of the barriers to her success, she went on to become the first female president of the American Psychological Association.

She also wrote four books and over 100 articles, invented what is known as the paired-association technique in psychology, and served as president of the American Philosophical Association.

These women have made indelible and vital contributions that they deserve to be remembered for.

So many other women in history deserve recognition for their accomplishments, but alas, I cannot write about all of them.

Far too many women have gone unnamed and unrecognized for their work.

They deserve to be appreciated and remembered.

In honor of Women’s History month, I ask that you take some time to contemplate some of the amazing women both past and present who have done so much in spite of the many obstacles that came their way.

CU at TRIO day in Oklahoma City

Jeramie McMichael Staff Writer

From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 28, the TRIO organization went to the Oklahoma State Capital for TRIO day. Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO) are federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.

TRIO includes eight programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students and people with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs.

TRIO also includes a training program for directors and staff of TRIO projects.

On Feb. 28, 1986, a congressional resolution declared that the day should be designated as “National TRIO Day” to commemorate the annual achievements of the TRIO programs in communities across the country.

Federal TRIO programs are educational opportunities that support limited-income students, first-generation students, and students with disabilities to enter college and earn a degree.

Since then, National TRIO Day — a day of celebration, reflection, and action around increased access to higher education for disadvantaged students.

Oklahoma partners with other TRIO programs to further the academic pursuits of Oklahoman students. TRIO referred to the three programs: Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Student Support Service, which existed within this reauthorization of The Higher Education Act and was designed to assist eligible students to begin and complete a post-secondary education.

Sarah Trout, director of Upward Bound and

talent search said that she takes pride in TRIO day.

“It’s an opportunity for people across the state to get together,” Trout said. “I’m excited to ... see what an impact we’re making.

“There were 600-something people there this year, and it’s exciting to know that we’re touching this many lives. That’s just a small percentage of who’s actually in the program in our state.”

More than 800,000 low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities — from sixth grade through college graduation — are served by over 3,100 programs nationally.

TRIO programs provide academic tutoring, personal counseling, mentoring, financial guidance and other support necessary for educational access and retention.

Student Support Service’s academic advisor Tina Alley said that TRIO day is a day to commemorate accomplishments.

“To me TRIO day is a day to celebrate,” she said. “I take pride in what I do for students to help them succeed here at Cameron and to be able to go and see over 600 students and staff members from trio programs across the state celebrate and share accomplishments.”

More than 7,000 students with disabilities and approximately 6,000 U.S. veterans are

currently enrolled in the TRIO program.

TRIO Day offers interactive workhops on topics such as college readiness, financial aid, academic support services and career development. These workshops can be led by TRIO program staff members and other experts in the field.

These events provide opportunities for attendees to network and connect with peers, TRIO program staff, and representatives from educational institutions and community organizations.

Love in Stereo Album Review

On Feb. 16, MAX dropped his fourth studio album, “Love in Stereo.”

This album has been in the works for some time, containing hits from individual releases in the past few years like “Butterflies” and “It’s You.”

MAX has been in the music industry for well over ten years with his first big musical appearance on the Nickelodeon movie “Rags” released in 2012.

This album, while containing one of my favorite songs from Max, isn’t a step up from his previous album in most ways, and it is arguably inferior. The album lacked any substance and felt a step below typical radio pop. Max’s soundscape isn’t too unique in the pop world, but his vocals carry this album, heavily.

The first song on the album “Stupid in Love” is arguably one of the best songs he has in this album. This song features a K-pop artist from “Le Sserafim,” Huh Yunjin. The chorus of the song is fun and catchy.

“Let’s get married in Vegas / We don’t need a guest list / I don’t wanna think too much / Let’s get matching tattoos/ I don’t wanna think it through / Baby, I’m so stupid in love.”

Much like the other songs Max writes this song is about him and his wife. The song basically shows how “stupid in love” he is for her proposing some ridiculous ideas that people stereotypically have when they are stupidly in love with another person. The blend of vocals and the pop melodies used is also great and was a spectacular start to the album.

The second song “It’s You,” featuring Keshi, was released two years ago and is another amazing track on this album. This song is slower than the first song

on the album and changes the tone of the album in a good way with a seamless transition to a slower song with good vocals.

“Like this forever (forever) / White dress or whatever / I keep dreamin’ there’s a somewhere / That we grow old together / In a van or a mansion / Raining but we’re dancing / There’s a billion people out there, I can’t believe the chances.”

Max and Keshi do a great job in this song. Their vocals don’t clash but go together nicely to make this song really pop. This slower-paced song is favorable and suits Max’s vocals well.

The third song on the album is “Say Less” featuring Duckworth, and it has more of a poppy club feel to it. The song starts off upbeat and fun for the most part, but the lyrics aren’t special.

“Say less (say less) / Cause you already got me, baby / Say less (say less) / Talking’s only slowin’ us down / Do you believe in love at first sight / Or should I walk on by again? (Yeah) / ‘Cause I don’t know if I could survive / You took all my oxygen (yeah).”

This song lacks substance and doesn’t highlight anything other than sexual desires held by one person towards another. While this song isn’t the best written, it is far from the worst on the album.

The fifth song on the “Gucci Bag” is arguably the worst song on the album. The lyrics are bland and plain lacking any real depth. The chorus is poorly written and constructed and the overall vibe to the album feels less after listening to it.

“I’m in my Gucci bag (yeah) / Lookin’ so damn fly / Come and kiss me, babe (mwah) / Take me satellite high / Supernova with me (ooh) / We can burn, baby, burn / Tonight, tonight (yeah)”

The lyrics were forgettable and the overall track was lacking compared to the previous ones. The only

bright side to this song is that it was one of the shorter songs on this album.

Sadly, the album doesn’t get any better until the second to last song on “Butterflies,” which Max sings with Ali Gatie. The chorus is great and once again showcases not only Max’s vocals, but also his songwriting capabilities.

“I won’t stop getting butterflies, I / Get ‘em every time / I look into your eyes / You won’t stop running through my mind / For the rest of both our lives / You give me butterflies / I keep on getting Butterflies.”

The way Max is able to evoke emotions from his listeners in some of his songs is something he should be praised for, especially with the hand he has in the music indusrty.

Max showcases time and time again, during collaborations or other projects where he helps in production that he is very capable when it comes to the songwriting aspect of things. The problem is that out of all the tracks in the album, there are only three songs that are actually good from start to finish and two out of those three were released more than a year ago.

The album runs 33 minutes with 12 tracks. This album is relatively short, but the majority of Max’s albums run around the same length.

Overall, while I am quite fond of a few songs in the album, the album as a whole was extremely underwhelming to listen to from beginning to end. Some of the best songs on the album were released almost a year prior and have already run their course.

I think if you aren’t familiar with MAX’s music you should definitely give it a try, but if you are, “Stupid in Love” is really the only newer song I can recommend on this album. It pains me to say, but this album is a solid 6/10.

CU-Duncan Celebrates

HOMECOMING

There is no doubt that Cameron University in Duncan looks for a reason to celebrate something, and the celebrations usually involve distinctive decorations and fantastic food items. Homecoming week was no exception as CUDuncan celebrated Homecoming with the theme, “A golden university.” When students walked into the lobby at the Duncan campus, they were greeted with decorations that ranged from attention-grabbing golden garland to a giant golden fifty that commemorated Cameron’s fiftieth year of being a named university.

The highly decorated lobby was just part of the celebration as exquisitely excellent eats were made available all week long. The menu featured such items as

a nacho bar, soup and sandwich fixings, and a macaroni and cheese bar to name a few.

Student and Administrative Assistant Matthew Hasley talked about the food from the week, but when it came to the macaroni and cheese bar, Hasley was extremely enamored with the ooey gooey palate pleasing pasta and even called it fantastic.

“If I remember right, it had pepperonis, bacon, some sour cream, and we also had other cheeses you could put on the macaroni.” Hasley said, “Just a bunch of different things that I’ve never had on macaroni and cheese before, It was fantastic!”

On Feb. 22nd the featured meal on that day was barbeque chicken, pork, and smoked sausages. They had buns available for making sandwiches as well as potato salad and macaroni salad. And did

someone say desert? They had an assortment of chewy cookies that would satisfy the cravings of any cookie monsters.

Hasley was quick to give credit to organizer, Chelsea Black, as she typically provides all the food, and food is something that really brings the student’s together.

“Chelsea seems really on top of it when comes to planning for any of the events,” Hasley said. “She typically always provides food which is really nice because it really brings the student body together.”

Hasley said that the food-related events help to build comradery.

“We will hang out in the fishbowl, or we will just hang out here in this open lobby while we are gathered around the food and eating. I think that she (Black) does a really good job on making sure that we all kinda come

together for the student body that’s actually here on campus, so that’s pretty nice,” he said.

With Homecoming week wrapping up, the next big event that CU-Duncan is working toward is the annual egg hunt. The annual egg hunt is returning after a fiveyear hiatus for the COVID-19 pandemic. The egg hunt will take place from 3:30-4:30 p.m. on March 26 at the Cameron Duncan campus. The hunt is for children between the ages of 0 and 11.

Adults who pre-register their children by March 15 will be entered into a Cameron University SWAG raffle giveaway. Preregistration will also end on March 15. You can pre-register at the website https://forms.gle/ ytYPFHnqxrSbzQ4L6

PAC hosts Relax Rewind

Ciera Terry Student Life

From 6-8 p.m., March 7, in the McCasland Ballroom, Programming Activities Council (PAC) hosted Relax Rewind, an event with multiple relaxing activities for students. Activities included puzzles, board and card games, a braceletmaking station, and a station for students to make their own tea.

Event Coordinator Jessi Womack supplied the tea for students.

“We got a variety pack, so that people that have different preferences or if they have an allergy to one, they have choices,” she said.

Womack’s main goal for Relax Rewind was for students to get the opportunity to step back from their midterms.

Womack said it’s good for students “to have a place to relax and hang out and just have a little mental health break for themselves somewhere they can be around people and not be studying for a moment.

“I hope students realize that it’s okay to take a break, and that it’s good for them to take a break,” she said.

PAC is an active club on campus, and they host a multitude of events each semester. PAC Co-president Alexandra Moya said PAC takes a portion of the student activity fees in order to host events like Relax Rewind.

“A portion of it goes to campus life, so that way they can provide more swag items, more t-shirts or bags, and then we get a portion of that, and we use it throughout the semester,” she said.

For more information on PAC contact them at pac@cameron.edu.

CAMERONBASKETBALL:

Heading to Semi-Finals

Ramona Villegas Sports Editor

At 6:30 p.m. on March 7, at the Comerica Center in Frisco, TX, the Cameron University men’s basketball team played against the West Texas A&M Buffs. The Cameron Aggies came out ahead, 93-89, advancing to the Lone Star Championship semi-finals.

The Aggies got off to a strong start, winning the opening tip and quickly getting on the board when Andre Washington scored an easy bucket for a 2-0 lead. But the Buffs answered right back as Elliot Kieran drove up the lane for a layup to tie it 2-2.

The Buffs got on it quickly, with Kieran shooting a layup. In the following plays, the Buffs tried to create a barrier in points but failed because the Aggies did not back down, trailing closely behind and battling back hard. Five minutes after the game started, the score box showed 9-9.

In the tied first half, the Buffs subbed out three original starters. With the three new subs, the Aggies had to adjust; that is when Zach Toussaint of the Buffs scored a three-pointer. Aggie Jaxon Ingram did not hesitate and responded with a one-point layup.

An intense back-and-forth battle played out between the Aggies and Buffs, with neither team able to seize control.

Following an Aggie layup, the Buffs made their own layup and a three-pointer. Continuing the backand-forth point trend, Ingram secured a jump shot in the box.

Neither team could build more than a five-point cushion throughout the rest of the half. When the

buzzer sounded, the Buffs had a 36-33 lead.

After a tightly contested first half, the Aggies and the Buffs continued to battle it out. The game was still very close, and both teams played with much intensity and energy.

Jaylen Thomas of the Aggies started the second half with a three-pointer, continuing his impressive

made an impressive dunk that secured the Aggie’s 54-51 lead. Reggie Prudhomme extended the Aggies’ lead further, 56-51. Another three-pointer by Dylon Andrews ensured the most extensive lead in the game.

What will you do during Spring Break?

A string of fouls saw two points a piece from Holt and Mohammed (of the Buffs) and two points from Andrews (of the Aggies).

After more side-to-side movement at the two-minute-and-16-second mark, the teams tied again, 70-70.

With the end in sight, both teams pulled together and played a competitive last two minutes of the second half.

The Aggies extended their points by five nearing the final minute of the game, but there was a comeback in the air for the Buffs getting a tie at the end of the second

In overtime, both teams got to do the tip-off again, and with a repeat of the beginning of the game, the Aggies secured

The Aggies scored nine points quickly within two minutes and 30 seconds. Toussaint got the ball shooting again for the Buffs with a three-pointer, and Larry Wise also scored with a drive to the bucket. Aggie Jalen Thomas set the scene for what would happen next by scoring the last points for the Aggies.

With one minute left, the scoreboard read 90-85. Toussaint and Kieran of the Buffs fought for a comeback that did not happen.

The game ended with the Aggies beating the number one seed in the Lone Star Conference, 93-
