Imhoff, Lane disqualified as SGA heads for runoff election Stetson Payne @Stetson__Payne

The SGA presidential election is moving into overtime. A runoff election for SGA president will be held April 14 between Kyle Hilbert and Mason Taylor. SGA election results were announced at 10 p.m. Thursday. Hilbert carried 46 percent of the vote, with Chance Imhoff — who was disqualified Wednesday night after polls closed — in second place with 32 percent. Taylor carried 20 percent. A total of 3,709 votes were cast, with over 1,700 going for Hilbert. SGA is moving to a runoff because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote. However, Imhoff will not be part of the process after a week filled with controversy. Late Monday night, the Student Government Association Supreme Court banned Imhoff and Jacquelyn Lane from campaigning

for the rest of the SGA presidential election. Things only got worse for the candidate pair on Wednesday night. In a 4-1 decision, the court found that the candidate pair violated Monday night’s ban after a student photographed a campaign sign still visible near Adams Market, along with an Aframe sign next to Chi-O Clock.

A subsequent 4-1 vote disqualified the candidate pair from the election. Voting had actually closed in the election several hours earlier. Imhoff did not wish to comment on this story. Monday’s late ruling specified that all campaign materials had to be removed by 8 a.m. Tuesday. That decision was made at nearly 1 a.m., leaving only hours for the defunct campaign staff

to scour campus in order to remove signs, posters and other materials before morning. A senator took a picture of a campaign sign at Adams Market on Tuesday morning. A secondary complaint in the hearing concerned the A-Frame sign at Chi-O Clock. LASSO Senator Andrew Latham, who took the photo, said he filed the peti-

tion because he felt it was his job as a senator. “I petitioned the Supreme Court because I wanted to ensure that they were aware of the potential violations to their previous ruling,” Latham said in an email. “I feel it is my duty as an SGA senator to ensure that all SGA rules and regulations are being followed. “In this case, I felt that those rules were being vio-

lated, which was the reason for my petition.” Monday’s initial ruling found Imhoff and Lane in violation of election rules for campaigning at an Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature meeting on March 12. In that ruling, the court found that OIL was an open meeting of SGA. Campaigning at an open meeting of SGA is under the rules’ zero tolerance section, calling for immediate disqualification from any election. The decision that OIL was an open meeting of SGA was met with skepticism by a national expert on open meetings, Oklahoma State professor Joey Senat. OIL’s faculty adviser Brandon Lenoir also said that the group is not a governing body of SGA and only a mock legislature. Rather than punish the candidates to the subscribed extent of SGA bylaws, the court decided on an alternative punishment in which campaigning would be suspended through the end of the campaign. news@ocolly.com

Opinion: SGA Supreme Court cost Imhoff, Lane shot at presidency EDITORIAL BOARD

This week’s Student Government Association Supreme Court hearings were lacking something, namely an expert. As a result, Chance Imhoff and running mate Jacquelyn Lane have lost the opportunity to win the SGA presidency. Imhoff and Lane placed second in the inital election with 32 percent of the vote. Now, the SGA eletion is going to a runoff because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, but Imhoff and Lane won’t be on the ballot. The question at hand was whether Oklahoma Inter-

Against the opinion of experts, the SGA Supreme Court ruled Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature is an open meeting.

collegiate Legislature was an open meeting of SGA. SGA bylaws state under Title IX section 4.3.1 that “No candidate/candidate pair may campaign in the SGA office, or within open meeting of the Student

Government Association.” Imhoff and Lane spoke at an OIL meeting March 12, and the SGA Supreme Court ruled at nearly 1 a.m. Tuesday that OIL was indeed an open meeting of SGA, meaning Imhoff and

Lane violated SGA’s “zero tolerance” campaigning rules and faced immediate disqualification. The problem with that? OIL is a mock legislature with no governing or even advisory power to SGA,

though it is affiliated. The group operates in the same way as Model United Nations, with non-binding resolutions and bills for student practice in writing legislation. The Oklahoma Open

Meeting Act states under Article II Section 524, “ … committees whose purpose is only fact finding, advisory, informational, or recommendatory are not subject to Open Meeting Act.” The court saw no experts on open meetings law, specifically the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act. That alone is cause for concern. When someone’s candidacy is on the line, the court should exhaust every resource possible to get the right ruling, regardless of how late or how long the hearings may be.

America votes Corey Kent White to top 12 on ‘The Voice’ Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

Corey Kent White, an Oklahoma State student and country singer, performed a group number Wednesday evening as he awaited America’s voting results on NBC’s, “The Voice.” White, with the rest of Blake Shelton’s team performed, “I’ll Take You There,” by The Staple Singers. Shortly after, it was revealed that America voted White and teammate Meghan Linsey to continue on Blake Shelton’s team

for the final phase of live performances. Shelton chose to save other teammate Hannah Kirby. The top 12 performers, including White, will now compete against each other each week during a live television broadcast. The audience will vote and the three performers with the lowest number of votes will give a second performance in order to obtain an “instant save.” It is no surpirse that White was voted on, considering his last emotional performance singing Garth Brooks’ version of “To Make You Feel My Love.” “I don’t think every song has to be that emotional. It just has to be believable,”

White said after the knockout rounds. “That’s what I’m looking for when I pick a song.” America’s votes left Shelton with one major decision — who to save on his team. “I know that this is by far the toughest decision that all of us have to make as coaches because now we’ve come far enough that we’ve developed a relationship,” Shelton said. “I’m going to be moving Hannah forward.” White, Linsey and Hannah Kirby are the three contestants from Shelton’s team to continue on in the competition. The two singers with the lowest votes will be sent

‘Game of Thrones’ 5th season premieres Sunday Brandon Schmitz @SchmitzReviews

Ten months’ worth of parody videos and Internet memes have built up to this. Thankfully, the wait is nearly over, for “Game of Thrones” returns to HBO Sunday at 8 p.m. The increasingly popular adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series enters its fifth season. Considering the show’s emphasis on political musical chairs, most characters find themselves in dramatically different places than they were at the beginning of season

four. Although “Thrones’” fourth year picked up about midway through the third novel, elements of books four and five were touched upon, too. It will be easier for the show to cover “A Feast for Crows” and “A Dance with Dragons” at once, for the two books run concurrently. With Martin’s sixth entry set to release in 2016 at the earliest, more character arcs will undoubtedly catch up by the end of season five. The show runners definitely recognize this, though, for this year’s run will reportedly deviate from Martin’s source material even further. Some characters who

‘True Detective’ releases first trailer for Season 2 Miles Clements @MilesDailyMovie

Prior to Thursday, the only thing “True Detective” fans knew about season two was the cast, which didn’t mean much considering all of the cast members who made season one unforgettable won’t be returning. HBO’s highly anticipated second season now has a face to go with the hype. The first trailer is now available for fans to drool over for the next two months in preparation of the premiere on June 21. The trailer is one minute long, disclosing some vital information regarding the show’s tone, which looks much like the first season’s eerie landscape. Although there’s no dialogue to reveal any narrative details, fans get a taste of what they’ve been missing since we saw Rust and Marty close out the compelling first season. This season, another strange homicide introduces us to three officers and an experienced criminal residing in California. Colin Ferrell plays Ray Velcoro,

a detective in a similarly compromised situation we saw from Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) in season one. Vince Vaughn, who is one of the more interesting casting choices this season considering Vaughn’s resume doesn’t necessarily coincide with the tone of “True Detective,” plays a criminal who may end up losing everything he’s built. This could spark a new career path for Vaughn with help from the show’s acclaimed writer, Nic Pizzolatto. Vaughn isn’t the only cast member who may redefine his career in eight episodes. Rachel McAdams stars as Ani Bezzerides, a detective questioning the system she works for, who finds herself in the middle of a crime that reeks of criminal collusion, not to mention the billions of dollars involved with the case. The show is built as an anthology, where each season will clean house, bringing in new cast members to fill different roles surrounding a different crime. The trick is providing the same thematic elements that made the first season a hit. For the short amount

of time we get to watch, the trailer seems to mirror what the first season did well, but the first season’s story was just as intriguing and intellectually stimulating as the acting, writing and aesthetic treatment. It’s how well all of the show’s captivating elements worked together that earned season one a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Miniseries or Television Film. The drastic geographical change from a Louisiana State Police force to L.A. County should offer up some entertaining changes to the popular series, but don’t expect season two to deviate too far from what earned it so much praise last time around. If we are truly in the “Golden Age” of television, which is a buzz that seems to be focused more on extended cable package networks (HBO, AMC, Showtime, etc.) rather than major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.), “True Detective” is sitting comfortably with today’s top-tier shows. news@ocolly.com

Cowgirls host pair of Big 12 opponents Victoria Dodge @Victoria_Dodge

KURT STEISS/O’COLLY

The Cowgirls have been in the ITA rankings’ top 15 for nine straight weeks.

15% OFF ALL KIMONOS!

The Cowgirls have struggled against Big 12 teams but look to dominate this weekend. No. 9 Oklahoma State is currently 3-2 in the Big 12, 16-4 overall. OSU women’s tennis is ranked in the top 10 again, moving up from its No. 13 spot a week prior, and this is its ninth week in the top 15. “We are excited to be back in the top 10,” coach Chris Young said.

“We have been consistent throughout the season and our ranking has reflected that for a number of weeks now. We have put ourselves in a good position to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament if we can finish the regular season strong.” Friday, OSU met with instate rival once again, No. 29 Oklahoma, and swept the Bedlam match 5-0. “The wind was obviously an effector, as it was last week, but I think we learned from it Sunday and became better from it and girls competed well,” Young said.

In the match against OU, Young switched Kelsey Laurente for Karyn Guttormsen on a doubles team with Viktoriya Lushkova. This upcoming weekend will tell whether the change is a permanent fix. The Cowgirls look to continue winning with the confidence they had against OU. Friday at 5 p.m., OSU takes on Kansas, and Sunday at 1 p.m., the Cowgirls face Kansas State, both in the Greenwood Tennis Center. “For this weekend, we want to put a strong emphasis on continuing

Hello Kitty backpack reflects OSU’s camaraderie Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz

Nobody likes giving up home runs. The adverse side effects include demoralized teammates, an increased ERA and — if you’re an Oklahoma State pitcher — you’re stuck with the Hello Kitty backpack. In an effort to reduce the number of home runs they allow, while also getting an opportunity to mock each other in the process, the Cowboys’ pitching staff has created a new team rule: Give up a home run, and you’re forced to carry, fill and walk around with a Hello Kitty backpack. “I think it kinda helps, honestly,” right-hander Koda Glover said. “It kinda shows everybody that that’s what happens when you give up a home run. It’s good for you.” Glover knows his way around the Hello Kitty backpack. The pink and purple sack has joined him after he allowed two home runs this season, both in late-

inning situations that cost the Cowboys a game. Although the pitches that went over the fence jump to Glover’s mind first, the backpack catches up once its straps are on his shoulders. “Once you put the backpack on the next day, you’re like, ‘OK, I can’t give up another home run,’” Glover said. “… It motivates you. The backpack’s funny and stuff, but it’s also a reminder that you did fail, so you don’t want it on your back.” Thanks to new flat-seam balls, there’s been an increase in power around college baseball. As a result, the Cowboys have already given up 13 home runs this season after allowing 16 a year ago. That’s led to Hello Kitty finding her way onto a variety of backs this season, and more players having to deal with the humiliation that comes with her. “It’s just embarrassing,” said sophomore Trey Cobb, who introduced the idea in the summer. “It’s funny on the road because all the road fans know why you’re carrying the backpack, and they just give you crap for it. … It’s not as bad at home as

it is on the road ‘cause on the road, you have to walk from the bus into the stadium with your backpack on. “It’s a fair punishment, I think.” Cobb purchased the backpack at Hastings. He looked for one that would bring the most shame to a pitcher who couldn’t keep a ball in the yard. “That took the cake; it wasn’t even close,” he said. “There were some Power Rangers backpacks and some Ninja Turtles, but they were too cool.” More than just a home run repellent, the backpack gives Cowboy pitchers another reason for mockery. “Always, always, always making fun of each other,” right-hander Jon Perrin said. “Whether you got the backpack or not, you’re fair game for some trash talk.” Perrin admitted he’s seemed to have a magnetic effect on the backpack, having allowed four home runs this season. However, he never roots for his teammates to give him a reason to take it off. “Honestly, it would’ve been best if I just would’ve

kept the backpack the whole year,” Perrin said. “Means nobody’s giving up home runs. It’s just a little fun something to do. Keep it light.” “Light” might not be the best word. The backpack will often sit in the bullpen during games, filled with snacks of the current owner’s choosing. “We were filling it up with candy,” Glover said. “But people started getting fat.” The team fills it now with nuts and trail mix, Glover said, while right-hander Remey Reed included sunflower seeds, gum and Gatorade on the list.

Consistency breeds confidence for OSU baseball @CodyStavenhagen

It was Friday night and the Oklahoma State Cowboys were locked in an 18-inning gridlock with a talented Texas team that was leading the Big 12. The players were tired. They were hungry. But one thing they weren’t was worried, instead filled with confidence as a result of an astounding consistency that has fueled OSU’s run to a No. 9 national ranking. Relief pitcher Tyler Buffett said the team was remembering when they lost to Oklahoma last season in 18 innings. They

didn’t want that to happen again. “We just kept pushing, pushing, pushing,” Buffett said. “It was kind of a general feeling in the dugout like, ‘We’re gonna win this game.’” The Cowboys (23-9) did indeed win on a walk-off home run from Corey Hassel. Then they went on to beat Texas 3-1 on Saturday and 8-3 on Friday, completing their first three-game sweep of the Longhorns since 2008. OSU has won 10 consecutive Big 12 series dating to last season. The Cowboys sit atop the conference standings. Tuesday, they beat rival Oklahoma 24-2, and it seems they have all the confidence to keep this run going.

That confidence, though, is rooted in coach Josh Holliday’s philosophy. The theme of last season was succeeding through adversity. OSU came from behind to win 28 times on its way to an NCAA Super Regional. This season’s theme isn’t just about having success, but maintaining it. “(We’re) just trying to talk about that consistent mentality, that every game if you play the same, you start to get on a roll because you just focus on preparation and the process,” Holliday said. “Next thing you know, the externals don’t get in the way of just playing it right. And we just want to keep playing it right and getting better. … Winning’s great.

Getting better and winning is even better.” The Cowboys are doing this because they practice it every day. When they arrive at the park, Holliday has a meticulous practice schedule posted. Holliday tries to be the same every day, and his talks with the team often have a similar message. For the full story, visit ocolly.com/sports

Kitty: osu pitching staff uses odd method of motivating one another.

From Page 10 OSU pitching coach Rob Walton remembers the trash talk that followed him during his playing career, but he believes the Hello Kitty backpack serves as a representation of the pitching staff ’s camaraderie. “I think it shows good chemistry between the pitching staff,” Walton said. “I think it’s theirs. Pitching staffs have to have that relationship, and they gotta own their own staff. I’m there to give them the information and to improve them, and then they’ve got to have that team, pitching staff togeth-

erness.” That togetherness means all pitchers are equal, and no one is safe from the Hello Kitty backpack, even Cowboy southpaw Michael Freeman. The senior has a 1.46 ERA this season and has won three Big 12 Pitcher of the Week awards, but he’s been taken deep this season. The lone long ball came off the bat of Arizona State catcher RJ Ybarra. Like the backpack does for OSU relievers, Freeman gave Ybarra a snack. “I just left him a cookie, and he ate it,” he said. “He hit the crap out of that ball.” When the Cowboys (23-9, 7-2 Big 12) arrive at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence, Kansas, to play the Jayhawks (13-20, 1-5) in a three-game series, the Hello Kitty backpack will be

found on the shoulders of Conor Costello. But Costello, who allowed a two-run home run to Joshua Ake in OSU’s 24-2 trouncing of Oklahoma on Tuesday, and any Cowboy who gives up a home run during the weekend set likely won’t hear any worse than what they already hear from each other. “We give each other more crap and talk more crap to each other than any team’s going to,” Freeman said. “I feel like what we do to each other prepares us. Nobody else is going to be able to get inside your head. If you can keep us out of your head, you’re going to keep everybody else out of your head.” And keep Hello Kitty off your back. sports@ocolly.com
