Cowboys look to show off improvements at spring game Oklahoma State football spring game

D e k o ta Gregory S p o rt s R e p o rt e r

The Oklahoma State football team has been behind closed doors since March. Saturday, the Cowboys will be unveiled. OSU will host its spring football game for the second straight year at 1 p.m. in Boone Pickens Stadium. “I’m very excited,” OSU receiver James Washington said. “We’ve been out here practicing every day with nobody there watching and going to, depending on how many people will be there, just showing off what you’ve been working on the entire spring, and showing everybody how good the whole team’s gotten, and that’s what we look forward to.” OSU coach Mike Gundy said the team plans to be on the field for an hour and 15 minutes with a running

clock. The Cowboys will divide into two teams, orange and black, and kickoff each half. “We’re excited about the game on Saturday and getting the guys out there and letting them play a little bit,” Gundy said. OSU will use the extra practice time to improve; however, the Cowboys will also take advantage of the opportunity to appreciate their fans. OSU players will be available to fans for pictures and autographs on the field after the game. Admission is free. OSU will also host its 10th Anniversary Remember The Ten 5K and 10K Run at 9 a.m. Saturday starting at Boone Pickens Stadium. “We want to let (the fans) enjoy themselves and have fun,” OSU lineman Zach Crabtree said. “They get a

chance to come down and interact with us afterwards, and that’s always fun as a player to see the people who support you so much.” Crabtree is one of five starters returning from last season on the offensive line. The Cowboy line has combined for 97 career starts, which is the most in the Big 12 Conference. OSU will need the experience to improve a 3.6 yards per carry average from last season. The Cowboys also return all of their running backs in the backfield, including three seniors and an addition: Barry J. Sanders, who plans to join the Cowboys in the summer. He is the son of Barry Sanders, OSU’s lone Heisman Trophy winner, and will not participate in Saturday’s spring game. “You can just see the camaraderie between the running backs and the offensive line,” Crabtree said. “I think it’s really grown and came into one, and when that happens, we’ll get the results we are now.”

Satellite camp ban contains Cowboys’ national brand H ay d e n Barber Sp orts Edi to r

Texas and beyond won’t see much orange from the Big 12 anymore unless it’s burnt, on game day or in a recruit’s living room. Friday, the NCAA approved a proposal that limited collegiate programs to run athletic camps in only their facilities. The proposal is effective immediately and

has received a great deal of backlash from coaches across the nation; Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy was one of them Wednesday. “Just really disappointed of the opportunity that’s gonna be taken away from potential student-athletes,” Gundy said. “I don’t understand the concept of the thought that’s being put into taking away, schools, coaches potentially seeing young men that could be involved in getting an education.” Satellite camps were useful, Gundy said, because they allowed the universities to come to the players versus the players forced to come to the universities. OSU held football camps

throughout Texas, including one at L.D. Bell High School in Hurst. Years ago, Zach Crabtree was there. Crabtree, from 30 minutes away in Mansfield, Texas, wasn’t a camper at the L.D. Bell satellite; he had already signed with the Cowboys. He said it was nice to meet with coaches and hang out with those who would coach him for the next four years, though. Prospective players won’t have that opportunity going forward. “It’s a lot more convienient for them,” Crabtree said. “It’s definitely disappointing. It’s sad, but you gotta move on. You gotta keep on going.”

The Big Ten, AAC, Conference USA and MAC voted to retain the camps. Those against included the ACC, SEC, Pac-12, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Big 12. One of the Big 12’s best quarterbacks, Mason Rudolph, went to a lot of camps throughout his high school years in South Carolina, but he said his visits to Stillwater were what sealed his signature, not camps. Nevertheless, OSU was a bit of a pioneer in regards to the satellite camps, Gundy said, starting about a dozen years ago. Gundy said it’s disheartening that young people who might not be as financially fit to travel hun-

dreds or thousands of miles to Stillwater won’t have the opportunity to see what OSU is like from their hometown. “As of now, unless somebody finds a way to change

the plan, those days are over,” Gundy said. “And I just think that’s sad.” f o l l o w H ay d e n : @HK_Barber

San Antonio selects Martin with 25th pick in WNBA Draft fr o m Staf f R ep ort s @ oc ol lys ports

Thursday night, Oklahoma State’s Brittney Martin became the fourth Cowgirl to be picked in the WNBA Draft. The San Antonio Stars selected Martin with the 25th overall pick and the first pick of the third round. Martin was the second pick the Stars had in the draft, as they picked Connecticut’s Moriah Jefferson with the second overall pick.

“(Martin) put up big numbers quietly throughout her career,” according to ESPN’s scouting report. “Always around the ball and does everything well except shoot from deep.” The Stars are the remnants of the Utah Starzz, one of the eight original WNBA teams. Martin, the Big 12 Player of the Year, is a native of Syracuse, Utah. Other Big 12 players selected included Texas’ Imani Boyette, West Virginia’s Bria Holmes and Baylor’s Niya Johnson.

2nd Volunteer Garrison brings war back to life

Sam Grubenhoff S taf f R ep ort er

Brian Barton has died several times. Sometimes he dies twice in the same weekend. Then he gets up, dusts off his wool coat, places his forage cap back on his head and packs up his musket and black powder to head back to the 21st century for Monday morning classes. Such is life and death for a student in Oklahoma State’s Civil War re-enacting 2nd Volunteer Garrison. “So if you’re standing in front of a cannon and it goes off, people know they should probably die,” Barton said. “After the battle’s going five, 10, maybe 20 minutes, sometimes (the commanders) start telling people to die. Other than that, it’s completely voluntary.” Barton, an agriculture business law senior at OSU, has been involved with the club since he stepped on campus as a freshman, and like death as a re-enactor, it was voluntary. One day, early in his FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016

first semester, Barton was walking from the library to the Student Union when he happened upon one of the many club tables that dot the pathways along Library Lawn. A replica, navyblue Union Soldier’s coat lay on the table in all its woolen glory, accurate down to the brass buttons, which struck him as odd. “I teased ‘em a little bit: ‘Well why isn’t that a Confederate uniform?’” Barton said. After growing up less than an hour away from Stillwater in Drumright, Barton’s curiosity was justified. Oklahoma, though only a territory at the time of the Civil War, was Confederateoccupied territory. Barton might have felt quirky if not for his grandmother, who took him out to a re-enactment in Yale when Barton was in elementary school. In the spring, after his introduction to the club, Barton went out to the same reenactment his grandmother had taken him to as a child to see if his interest remained. What he found surprised him. “I really enjoyed it,” Barton said. “It was a different experience living it versus watching it, and I enjoyed the culture; I enjoyed the people. As much as (the club) is about history and service,

sam gruenhoff/O’COLLY The Oklahoma State Civil War re-enacting club gives OSU students interested in history, specifically the Civil War, an outlet to re-create specific battles from that time period.

I come back because I enjoy it, and I enjoy the people.” Barton’s passion for the club was a primary factor in the role he played to get the club back on track and for the Student Government Association to formally recognize the club. Although the club was not officially formed until 2012, OSU had students involved with Civil War reenacting since 2006 when a former OSU student, Collin Jefferson, approached a man who went by “Game Store” in informal settings and Jim Trent in professional ones in Trent’s now-closed Stillwater comic shop. Jefferson, a freshman at the time, had met Trent at the same Yale re-en-

actment Barton had been to as a child, and he was looking to join. “He was just stunned there were so many ablebodied young guys running around one campus that weren’t Civil War re-enactors,” Trent said. “And, by gosh, why don’t we start a club?” After the club was officially formed in 2012, interest began to fizzle, Barton said. Former members began to graduate, and the skills and leadership were not passed on. However, unlike the re-enactors, the club refused to die. In 2014, interest began to pick back up, and now the club has a full slate of officers and 30 registered students, which Barton said he is immensely

OCOLLY.COM

proud of. Charlie Sasscer, the club’s president, said experience plays a large role in his decision to participate as well, but the practical, classroom application of what reenactors do should not be overlooked. “The older re-enactors, they’re a wealth of knowledge,” Sasscer said. “You’ll probably learn more at one re-enactment than you’ll learn in your history classes.” Sasscer, an animal science freshman from Park Hall, Maryland, said many of the battles discussed in his history classes at OSU or otherwise became easier concepts to grasp once he began participating with the re-enactors because,

instead of reading about the events, he was living them. Barton said that point of total immersion is exactly what many in the hobby are looking for. In December 2014, Barton was participating in a re-enactment of the Battle of Prairie Grove, which happens bi-annually on the first weekend of December. His objective was to charge a plantation house that sat atop a hill with other Union reenactors and take it from the rebels, which is easy when the battle’s winner is predetermined. However, the cannons surrounding the house present a problem. “Whenever I hear the first cannon go off, my heart jumps,” Barton said. “I get scared because you’re looking in front of you and there’s several hundred Confederates all holding guns, and they’re about shoot at you. And then you realize, ‘Wait, this is a re-enactment.’ but for a few seconds there’s that re-enactor’s moment where you feel like you’re back in the Civil War. “There are those moments where you get to live history, and for that moment, it feels like you are back in time.” follow sam: @GHoff17 PAGE 5

news

alexia tate/for the O’COLLY Stephen Clarke, associate professor in nutritional sciences, assists a student, left,. Clarke is the Faculty Council chair and believes students will see tuition increases next semester.

alexia tate/for the O’COLLY Clarke said OSU students should expect to see larger course sizes with fewer sections offered. OSU officials are preparing to cut nearly 14 percent from the budget July 1.

More budget cuts mean less faculty, fewer classes for students BY Alexia Tat e

Co nt rib utin g W riter

Oklahoma State University students could pay more in tuition and fees for fewer courses with more students per class and fewer faculty members to teach them in the fall because of expected state budget cuts. OSU officials cut 3 percent from the university budget in December and another 4 percent in March. But an estimated $1.3 billion budget shortfall expected for the state’s upcoming fiscal year has OSU officials preparing to slash up to 14 percent from the budget starting July 1. “Will we be able to offer all of the classes that are needed? Probably not, because we won’t have all of the faculty to teach them,” FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016

said Mary Bryans, OSU’s chief budget officer. OSU’s Faculty Council chair agreed it’s a “good possibility” courses will be cut, resulting in larger class sizes. “And that’s where (the students) feel it a little bit,” Stephen Clarke said. OSU already has a 20:1 faculty-to-student ratio, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2016 college rankings. In about half the courses, 20 to 49 students are enrolled. About 16 percent have 50 or more students. Nearly 34 percent have fewer than 20 students. Clarke said larger classes change “the style a professor would or should use in the classroom.” “This very much limits what you can do in the classroom, and that’s not fun for

(students),” said Clarke, an associate professor in nutritional sciences and a Faculty Teaching Fellow. Clarke said departments also could cut electives from the course schedule. “Based on the college’s priorities, they are going to make strategic decisions to decrease funding here and help maintain funding at a reasonable level here,” he said. Higher education officials expect their budget to be cut between 3 percent and 14 percent, said Jason Ramsey, CEO of OSU/A&M Board of Regents. OSU officials won’t know how much has to be cut until late May when the state legislature and Gov. Mary Fallin agree on a budget. “At this point, we really

don’t know what will happen,” said Sen. John Ford, chair of the Senate Education Committee. “It is still between the House, the Senate and the governor, and there is a lot of negotiation going on about what compromise needs to be made so we can have a balanced budget.” OSU cut all the excess from the current budget in December and March, officials said. “It is extremely difficult to take midyear cuts like this,” Ramsey said. “We started FY 16 believing we had this amount of money, and now we only have this amount. And there is no revenue coming in.” Clarke said the next budget cuts will likely result in faculty lines not filling when

OCOLLY.COM

faculty members leave. “At this point, we’ve trimmed as much fat away as we can,” he said. “If you have no fat to cut, you’re going to have to start cutting individuals. That’s where nobody wants to go, but that’s the reality of it.” Clarke said he didn’t know whether that would mean layoffs, but faculty members leaving is a concern. “There are faculty who are looking at the state of higher education in the state of Oklahoma, and it’s not a rosy picture,” Clarke said. “And there are faculty that we have talked to that have started looking at other institutions and are planning on moving. It’s not pretty.” Bryans said OSU officials don’t want the budget cuts to affect students’ experience at

the university. Bryans said she doesn’t know whether tuition will be increased. But Clarke sees it as inevitable. “If we’re going to function, we have to make up the difference somewhere,” he said. “We have limited places that we can do that now, and one of those places is tuition. “The reality is, where else are we going to get the money?” Ultimately, Clarke said, students should expect larger classes and fewer choices for courses. “You can’t continue to cut without having an affect on the quality of education,” he said. f o l l o w o c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

Today’s Birthday (04/15/16). Go for what you most want this year. Detail plans for a work initiative launching after 5/9, with travels and studies after 8/13. Partnership flourishes over the next two years, beginning 9/9. High energy work after 9/1 leads to an introspective phase after 9/16. Find peace. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Hang out with family and friends today. Stay patient with misunderstandings. Someone brings home a surprise. Trust a crazy hunch. Play like a child (especially with children). Follow your heart where it takes you. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Important news arrives. Circumstances could startle you. Share with your family. Talk over the requirements. Listen and learn from a mentor who helps you find your path. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Sift through data and determine your message. Discuss concerns and address solutions. Your team is enthusiastic. Take detailed notes on what gets worked out. Set guidelines. Establish the rules. Do what you promised. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 9 -- Someone wants quick action, but the possibility of error looks high. Provide context to expand their view. You can see what needs to change. Try new procedures cautiously. Recognize the value of the past. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- New developments change the assignment. Gain strength from the past. Provide leadership, and the pieces fall into place. Keep or change your promises. You get more done with a clear conscience. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- You can solve this puzzle. Take time to think things over. Make long-term plans. Devise an outline, and share it with the people involved. Rest and the answer comes when least expected. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Disagreement on your team requires sorting out. Consider everyone’s view as equally valid. Emotions can get tangled, especially when words get twisted. Listen more than you speak. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Professional matters have your attention. Avoid gossip, and keep on track with deadlines. Postpone expansion until current tasks are completed. Consider advice from loved ones (especially children). Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- You can get the funding for a desired trip. Alternate between physical exercise and quiet reverie. Choose security over more volatile options. If in doubt, wait. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Invest time or funds into home, family and real estate. A new idea works with help from a partner. Choose words carefully to avoid an argument about money. You don’t have the full picture. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- Expect lively communications today. Gossip and risky business lead to conflict and upset. Anticipate disagreement. Ignore criticism for now. Keep quiet and follow your intuition. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 9 -- Pour your energy into your work to match the quickening pace. Replenish reserves and keep up on your chores. Slow down and speak clearly to avoid miscommunications. Patience is required.
