Homecoming crash survivor makes every step count at Remember the Ten Run
Stetson P ay n e News Editor
From the first to the last each day, Kelly Murphy’s limp shows every step she takes hurts. But she doesn’t walk as if she’s wounded or broken. Murphy walks defiantly. Under the same American flag at Boone Pickens Stadium that flew at half-staff after the crash almost six months earlier, Murphy walked across the line at the Remember the Ten Run. The Oklahoma State University alumna is recovering from injuries suffered at the Sea of Orange Homecoming Parade crash Oct. 24. Murphy, 41, said she has no memory of the crash because of her head injuries, but she doesn’t fully know where she is at in recovering. “I work out some, but my legs are still not all the way healed,” Murphy said. “They say nine months to a year before I’m not in pain every step. “When there’s trauma involved, they say they don’t really know how your body’s going to take it.” The Remember the Ten Run raises money for MONDAY, APRIL 18, 2016
OSU’s University Counseling Services in honor of the 10 members of the OSU basketball program killed in a 2001 plane crash near Strasburg, Colorado. This wasn’t Murphy’s first time at the run. When she and her friends were at OSU, Cowboy basketball was the pulse of the university. After they graduated, the group of friends started coming back to honor the Ten after the 2001 plane crash. Murphy and the rest of her “squad” have competed in the Remember the Ten Run before, and the Kappa Alpha Theta pledge sisters made a tradition of eating cheese fries at Eskimo Joe’s after each run. But Murphy said those runs were different. Now, they’re about more than getting together with her friends. “Before, we just did it for fun; it wasn’t about finishing because we knew we’d finish,” Murphy said. “But now, it’s a lot more painful.” Walking has become a new way for Murphy to heal after the crash, she said. Because both legs are healing, Murphy said unless she’s consistently off her feet, recovery will take longer. But staying down was never part of the plan. Murphy has been in boot camp since January, and she said if nothing else, the extra effort has helped her deal with the
pain mentally. “I figured if it hurts to walk, I might as well do something else, too,” Murphy said. “Maybe that’s slowed my progress, but it’s helped my psyche. “Being around people who aren’t hovering around you to rest or relax, they want what you want.” That same attitude has garnered a following from her friends and the community, and several groups have reached out to walk with Murphy at events, she said. Erin Scott, Murphy’s pledge sister, said her friend’s mindset doesn’t surprise her. “She’s one of the strongest women I know,” Scott said. “When this first happened, I think our whole group of friends knew that she would overcome this. “I don’t think she’s ever stopped to feel sorry for herself. She’s always striving to move forward.” After an hour of walking, Murphy and the squad rounded the corner at Athletic Avenue and Knoblock Street for the final stretch. Between the event fencing lined with what remained of the orange and black crowds, the tears started flowing. “I think we were all glad we were wearing our sunglasses because we were all just crying,” said Amy Parrish, Murphy’s pledge sister. She said she’s glad the community has rallied

Relay For Life brings students, survivors together against cancer
Riley Medill S taf f R ep ort er
Viola Mendenhall sits at the end of her table in the Colvin Annex. Every year, rain or shine, Mendenhall makes sure she’s there. Over the years, Mendenhall has seen many Relays for Life, and she’s gotten all too familiar with their purpose. As she watches, Mendenhall wears her bright orange Oklahoma State hat and purple Relay for Life shirt. But it isn’t the color of the shirt that stands out; it’s the word across the back: “Survivor.” In 1963, she discovered a concerning lump and told her physician what she had found. Her doctors feared it might be cancerous and had it removed. After rounds of testing, Mendenhall learned she had thyroid cancer. Fortunately for Mendenhall, she fully recovered and moved on in life. This time with a new goal, to help get the word out and spread cancer awareness, which is exactly what Relay for Life is trying to accomplish. Rachel Keffer, the Relay MONDAY, APRIL 18, 2016

for Life staff partner for OSU, said the goal of the relay is to not only promote cancer awareness but also raise money for cancer research. “In Oklahoma alone, 19,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer this year,” Keffer said. “That’s a huge number of people, and in college particularly, we need to do a better job getting that information out there.” Keffer said Relay for Life works with several colleges throughout the state to help spread cancer awareness among young people. Being proactive in the battle against cancer at a
young age is something near to Mendenhall’s heart. She has been to several of the events at OSU’s campus and is a member of the Stillwater survivor team. Mendenhall said the turnout of students for the event is a big step forward for cancer research and vital to future success. She’s been going to Relay for Life events for 18 years, and each one is special to her. “It’s an inspiration to me just to see the number of people involved that are interested in trying to help,” Mendenhall said. As she watched the young faces at the event,
she thought about the time to come, and it gave her something to look forward to. “I’ve think we’ve got hope for the future,” Mendenhall said. “College students have so many other things going on. “For them to take time to do this is really, really special to me.” In preparation for the event, several students at OSU have planned yearround to ensure a quality relay. Emily Thill, a senior English major, said she’s been working with fellow students each week for the past year. Thill is the primary student organizer
OCOLLY.COM
of the event at OSU. “We planned all summer long,” Thill said. “And we’ve spent at least 10 hours every week since August.” The event not only included the relay, in which participants walked laps around the annex, but also a relay race, live music, food, drinks, and other games and activities. Thill said she’s been working with the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life since high school. Like most people at the event, Thill has ill-fated connections to cancer. “I’ve had a lot of friends who’ve lost parents or
siblings,” Thill said. “One of my best friends in high school had cancer. “That pushed me to do something.” Not all of the participants in the event, however, were college students. Some traveled from across the state to support the cause. Sandi Jones and Stephanie Birdwell drove from Moore to participate in OSU’s Relay for Life. Jones and Birdwell are cancer survivors. Jones was diagnosed with nonsmall cell lung cancer in 2014, and she has been in remission for 18 months. Birdwell battled and beat Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and throat cancer more than 18 years ago. Birdwell is the western Oklahoma volunteer coordinator for Relay for Life. She said OSU’s relay was her sixth event this year alone. Birdwell said she first got involved with Relay for Life in Moore eight years ago, and has been hooked since. And since battling cancer herself, Jones has joined the cause. “I go to as many relays as she can drag me to,” Jones said. “Even though it may not be the most visible thing, it’s invaluable, the money that’s raised by Relay. “Just from a participant’s standpoint, it’s priceless.” f o l l o w o ’ c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

OSU students help the Stillwater community in the Big Event
M at t Villareal Staf f R ep ort er
About 1,300 Oklahoma State students flooded the Willard parking lot on a brisk Saturday morning. Each was ready and willing to give back to the community that houses them for nine months out of the year. “The whole point of the Big Event is to go out and
say thank you to the community of Stillwater,” said Alex Marianos, director of the Big Event. “They’re so kind to essentially lend their city to us for two semesters. So we just like to go out and say, ‘Thank you for everything you’ve done.’” The Student Government Association event featured OSU students helping out at multiple locations around Stillwater including homes, businesses and even Fairlawn Cemetery. “So often, we are just confined to our campus,” Marianos said. “To be able to expand upon that and see where we’re really at and the people who are really
making this community so wonderful is really why we do it.” Elementary education sophomore Austin Hughes said the unity of a big group helping the community kept him coming back and helping for a second consecutive year. “Everybody needs help,” Hughes said. “It’s awesome having a group of people coming out and saying they want to help people.” The event is also a good chance for OSU students to connect with the people of Stillwater, like Lorelei Hejduk. Hejduk, an OSU alumna, has lived in her house on Monroe Street since 1959.
“I went to Oklahoma State when it was Oklahoma A&M,” Hejduk said. “I really appreciate what (the students) do.” One of the volunteers raking leaves at Hejduk’s house was construction management senior Ryn Ramirez. “It’s not just helping the community, it’s helping the residents,” Ramirez said. “Hopefully later on in life there’s going to continue to be generations that want to take care of the earth and generations of the past.” Ramirez has participated in the Big Event since her freshman year and said she enjoys how enormous the event is every year. “There’s so many people,

so many organizations,” Ramirez said. “It’s great to get there in the morning and see everyone getting coffee and donuts. … You’ll just kind of walk around and meet people. It’s just really cool.” Alex Marianos attributes the success of the event to her leadership team of about 35 members.
“They have done an enormously fabulous job,” Marianos said. “They’re just incredible to work with. They’re really the ones who put all of this together this year, and I’m just here for support.” F o l l o w M At t : @ m at t _ v i l l o 3

Students, professors weigh in on Sanders’ free tuition plan
Nuria Martinez-Keel S taf f R ep ort er
Bernie Sanders’ promise of free tuition at public colleges and universities is popular, but economic experts are questioning whether the plan would help higher education. Sanders estimated the cost of covering tuition at all public colleges and universities would be $75 billion, according to his campaign website. His campaign did not explain how he calculated that number. 300_250 Sanders plans to put a small tax on financial speculators, who trade stocks and bonds, to pay the $75 billion every year, according to his website. The Democratic presidential candidate would have to win his party’s nomination and the general election before his policy has a chance at becoming law. Sanders has won the past seven Democratic primaries and caucuses but remains 689 delegates behind Hillary Clinton, with superdelegates included. If Sanders were to win, though, two professors and the head of Oklahoma State University’s Department of Economics and Legal Studies said the plan has several MONDAY, APRIL 18, 2016
drawbacks. Department head Lee Adkins said in an email taxing speculators is not as easy as it sounds. All finance is speculative, so it would be difficult to define who is and is not a speculator, Adkins said. If the federal government taxed the stock and bond trade, it could be detrimental, he said. “Taxing financial transactions would be akin to taxing our retirement accounts, our public pension funds, union pension funds and pretty much any other form of saving in the country (other than stuffing a mattress full of cash),” Adkins said in his email. “This would put further stress on our economy due to our aging population and loose monetary policy.” An OSU economics professor said any time something is available for free, it becomes overused. Bill McClean called it the “tragedy of the commons.” Providing free tuition means more people can and will go to college, including students who shouldn’t, McClean said. However, Sanders’ plan would cover only tuition, not room and board, McClean said. Students would still have to take out loans in parts of the country where room and board can cost up to $20,000 a year. Room and board isn’t particularly high at OSU compared to schools in other states, McClean said. University housing and meals cost $8,860 a year for Oklahoma resident and nonresident students, according
to the Office of the Registrar. However, in states where the cost of living is higher, students can expect to pay more. For example, the University of California System estimates the average cost of on-campus room and board to be $14,200 at its universities for 2015-2016, according to UC Admissions. McClean said students who drop out of school could still have taken on a lot of debt under Sanders’ plan. “If students come who shouldn’t be here, and they borrow money to do it, they take on debt, and then they realize over a period of time that … they don’t need to be here,” McClean said. “So they leave here with no degree and a lot of debt.” With more people attending, universities would need more resources to support growing student bodies, McClean said. The $75 billion price tag would start to increase and taxing Wall Street might not be enough. “That means that you have to come up with the money either from the federal government, from the states, but somebody’s got to pay the bill,” McClean said. “If society is going to pay to send someone to college, then society deserves something in return.” Certain degrees have marginal value or utility, McClean said. Majors such as history don’t have many job opportunities for graduates. The market doesn’t require as many people to study history as it does other degrees, he said. With free tuition, though, the government and its

taxpayers would have to foot the bill regardless of whether students can use their degrees once they graduate. The money spent for a diploma might not bring back any return, McClean said. Another OSU economics professor said more people attending college could bring about other problems. Mary Gade said students would have a harder time differentiating themselves to employers when more people receive college degrees. “I think that if everybody gets a college degree, then a college degree turns into a high school diploma,” Gade said. “I still want to be better than person Y, so now what do I have to do? I have to go to graduate school or professional school.” Sanders’ campaign website does not mention whether his plan would cover graduate school tuition, which is more expensive than for an undergraduate education. Student loan debt is capped for undergraduate degrees but not for graduate
OCOLLY.COM
school, Gade said. As the number of graduate students increase so would the number of uncapped loans. In other words, Sanders’ plan to make college affordable could cause the number of uncapped student loans to skyrocket, Gade said. Despite criticism of Sanders’ plan, the U.S. senator from Vermont remains popular among college students with his free tuition policy. A co-founder of the OSU Students for Sanders group said frustration about the high cost of college has contributed to the candidate’s growing popularity. Kealey Casey said some students have to give up a college education to avoid going into debt. “There are so many intelligent and ambitious people that don’t have access to (college),” Casey said. “For Bernie to just be that voice to say that we need to make this better, I think that that’s really resonated with people.” The OSU Students for
Sanders group started in August and has grown to more than 400 members, the political science and foreign policy senior said. Not all students are so optimistic about Sanders’ policy. The Student Government Association president said he is against the federal government covering free tuition. Kyle Hilbert said education is a state issue, not a federal one. Sanders’ free tuition policy would come with a one-size-fits-all system and unnecessary government oversight, the agribusiness senior said. “I don’t think the needs of the different universities are best suited by being controlled by a bureaucrat in Washington, D.C.,” Hilbert said. “The needs of students at a land-grant university in Stillwater are very different from the needs of a student that goes to North Carolina or a student that goes to school in Washington state.” F o l l o w o c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

Cowgirl tennis seals share of Big 12 title in victory
jose bouquett Sports R ep orter
The Cowgirls rushed the court and hugged Katarina Adamovic as their dream was finally realized. In front of a packed Michael and Anne Greenwood Center, the Oklahoma State women’s tennis team captured a share of the Big 12 Championship, its first championship since 2001,
with a 4-1 victory against TCU on senior day. The Cowgirl dominance of the doubles point continued but not without a challenge. The “Shimmy” team of Viktoriya Lushkova and Carla Tur Mari danced to a 6-2 victory against Marie Norris and Alexis Pereira. But the point was be decided in the last match as seniors Kelsey Laurente and Maria Alvarez fell to Seda Arantekin and Caroline Wagner, 6-3. The high-energy team of Vladica Babic and Adamovic was not denied, though, as it claimed the game and the point for OSU with a 6-4 win over TCU’s Olaya Garrido-Rivas and Mia King. Emotions overcame coach
Chris Young as he jumped and urged the crowd to make noise. “It was a tough doubles point,” Young said. “I give TCU a lot of credit. I think TCU is one of the better doubles teams we’ve faced all season.” The Cowgirls came out of the break on a mission; they knew the Big 12 title was at stake, and they played like it. Laurente and Alvarez wanted to set the tone quickly. “I knew that I had to step it up,” Alvarez said. “Kelsey knew too. It’s our senior day, and we did it.” With the score tied at 1, Laurente overpowered Garrido-Rivas 6-4, 6-4. The momentum continued on to the other senior, Alvarez; she
also claimed a victory over Pereira, 6-4, 6-3 and pushed the Cowgirl lead to 3-1. With the championship within reach, Adamovic pulled OSU to the Big 12’s pinnacle. A 6-4, 6-1 victory against Norris sealed the match and the championship for the Cowgirls. The emotions ran wild as tears flowed from the girls’ eyes. Young gave a speech to all of the fans, thanking them for attending the match. Alvarez and Laurente were honored after the match with pictures and signed jerseys from the team. Both seniors also gave speeches to the crowd and teammates thanking them for all of their support for the year. Young said he was happy

with the performance and could not express how proud he was of his seniors. “What a day,” Young said. “You couldn’t have scripted it any better. To have this type of home crowd on match day and for our two seniors to get two for the singles wins for us is just an exciting day.” Both seniors will leave a large mark on the program
as Alvarez is fifth all-time in singles victories, and Laurente is “one of the best doubles players in Cowgirl history,” Young said. OSU looks to claim sole possession of the Big 12 title when it travels to Manhattan, Kansas, to face Kansas State at 3 p.m. Friday. Follow jose:

Cornelius shines in spring game, but Gundy quiet on backup QB
N at h a n Ruiz Se ni o r S p o rts R eport er
Despite an overcast day at Boone Pickens Stadium, Taylor Cornelius shined from his first play. He hasn’t locked up Oklahoma State’s backup quarterback spot, though. Cornelius, a walk-on sophomore from Bushland, Texas, was arguably
the offensive star of the Cowboys’ spring game Saturday, completing 9-of14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. Cornelius spent the spring battling with redshirt freshman John Kolar for the spot on the depth chart behind Mason Rudolph. Although Kolar went 1-of-8 for 15 yards, OSU coach Mike Gundy wouldn’t allow the decision to come down to a 75-minute scrimmage. “We really haven’t decided,” Gundy said. “I mentioned to the offensive staff that after the first week in August, we need to establish who our No. 2 quarterback is, just from
the standpoint that it’s really difficult to get three guys ready to play in a game.” The first offensive snap left Cornelius’ hand and finished in the end zone. He found Jhajuan Seales on a slant route, and Seales ran half the field for the score. In the third quarter, Cornelius connected with Chris Lacy for a 28-yard touchdown. “He started out on fire,” offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said. “He’s had a great spring. He’s a young man that’s very capable of leading our offense, and we feel really good about his progress.” Cornelius redshirted in
2014 before playing sparingly as the third-string option behind Rudolph and J.W. Walsh last season, often only in garbage time. “I’ve enjoyed the last two years,” Cornelius said. “I’ve enjoyed the process of learning the new system and just happy for the opportunity I got here.” Kolar, possessing aboveaverage speed, has a similar skill set to Walsh and could fill the same role the Cowboys this season, though his arm is a question mark. “John’s got a different skill set,” Yurcich said. “Obviously, we can call more quarterback reads with him, but accuracy and putting the ball where
it needs to be put on each play depending on what coverage is still a work in progress.” Although Cornelius and Kolar are in competition, all the quarterbacks remain friendly, spending time together off the field. On it, though, the depth chart battle is making them better, Kolar said. “The battle’s been overall good because battling together, we all get better individually, and that’s, overall, what we want,” he said. Cornelius has certainly improved during the past two years. Once a walk-on taking a risk by heading to a Big 12 school, he finds
