Entrepreneurial future Institute for the Study of Free Enterprise Logan Smith Staff Reporter The Institute of the Study of Free Enterprise (ISFE) is a campus organization which aims to “foster campuswide discussion on issues related to value creation in society, competitive markets, economic freedom, personal liberty and human flourishing.” In subjects such as agriculture and education, the group applies its major principles of free market to real world happenings. Dr. Steve Trost, director of the ISFE, spoke on his plans for the group next year. “Encourage students to be independent thinkers,” Trost said. “That really is kind of the essence of our involvement with students.” Each Monday night talk is sponsored by the ISFE and followed up with a student discussion Tuesday afternoon. Sponsored by and separate from The Institute of the Study of Free Enterprise, the Free Enterprise Society (FES) is a campus-wide, student-run organization with similar goals. See Future on pg. 2

Artistic touch

40th Annual Student Juried Exhibition displays student talent By Ellen Slater Staff Reporter Oklahoma State University students’ art pieces are officially on display this week for the 40th Annual Juried Expedition. The annual show gives students a chance to submit five pieces of art, whether it be 2D, 3D, or graphic art from any art course that they have taken at OSU. Courtney Juen, an OSU student studying fine arts with a focus in ceramics and printmaking, has two pieces in the show that she has been tirelessly working throughout this semester. “It’s a huge honor to have my work selected and displayed amongst my peers, and was an affirming personal push to continue making work and putting it out there,” Juen said. Juen said she hopes to teach ceramics one day. She is inspired by her own teachers and mentors she

has had here at OSU. The art community has played a huge role in her experience as a student. “The most lifegiving

part of the department for me has been the mentorships and friendships that are fostered within the studio,” Juen said. “Whether we’re

collaborating in classes, laughing in the studio at 2 a.m., or grabbing dinner; there’s a closeness between us all that transcends friendship and becomes more like family.” Awards and placements for the art show are predicted to be announced Monday evening at the latest. Around 200 pieces were entered into the show in hopes of being put on display, and 36 were picked to be exhibited. Pieces range from Courtney Juen’svase, Mindful clay, and Averi Adams’ sculpture, Life Blood. These are just two of many other pieces by their fellow classmates. The art show will be on display in the Gardener Gallery located on OSU’s campus. It is open from April 19-30. Everyone is encouraged to go and support these cowboy and cowgirl art students after a semester of hard work. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

News Future... Continued from pg. 1 This semester, Oklahoma State students have been able to attend multiple lectures that have been given by the group in the student union. These lectures include topics such as “Decentralization: The End of Social Media as We Know it?” and “Why Breaking up Big Tech will Limit the Free Exchange of Ideas.” Trost spoke on the recent growth of the FES student body at meetings. “When I first got involved…maybe twelve folks show up at a meeting.” Trost said. “But two years ago we were averaging 80 to 90.” Although student turnout in recent years has been high, covid restrictions have lowered those numbers for the past year. Besides lectures and other educational materials, the organization offers networking events, field trips, and other educational activities. One of the lectures given was by Jared Meyer, member of the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), and the broadcast is available to be watched on OKSTATETV. Trost concluded the interview with a remark on his hopefulness for what students gain from the institute’s available resources. “Our hope is that…they’re exposed to some ways of thinking that they might not have otherwise been exposed.” Trost said. “They can go out into society and be more critical.”

Bernard-Converse, Brown excited for spring game Dean Ruhl Staff Reporter For cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse, it’s the atmosphere. “Fans, family and friends,” BernardConverse said. “Everyone is just coming back and enjoying the time and competing and having a good time with our brothers. That’s what I’m looking forward to.” Running back LD Brown had similar thoughts. “You can tell in the town it’s a different sense of energy,” Brown said. “It’s just people knowing they’re allowed in and being able to watch football.” Oklahoma State’s spring game details were released Tuesday. The game will begin at noon and conclude at 2 p.m. on April 24 at Boone Pickens Stadium. The roster was di-

vided into two teams, Orange and Black. Fans will be able to attend but are asked to socially distance. Coach Mike Gundy said the game will begin with a short practice and 7-on-7 events. Two 20-minute halves will be played, with a 5-minute halftime. Scoring, rules and stoppage will work like a regular season game. “This is the first time we’ve (been able to play a real football game in spring) since I don’t know when,” Gundy said. “We think that’s what our fans Jerry Larson want to see.” Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy argues with the referee in the first half of an NCAA Gundy said he college football game against Baylor, Saturday, Dec. 12, 2020, in Waco, Texas.

Rewriting records Cowgirls bring home Big 12 title in record breaking fashion

Chris Becker Staff Reporter The Cowgirls went low― really low. The meteoric rise of the Oklahoma State women’s golf team continues under coach Greg Robertson. In just his second season at the helm of his alma mater, the team has won the Big 12 Championship. The Cowgirls never trailed at the end of a round in the three day event, in which they finished with a score of 34-under-par, 16 shots ahead of second place. It is the program’s 10th conference championship and third overall win of the season. The Cowgirls were powered by a recordbreaking second round where the team and Isabella Fierro broke conference records. The Cowgirls 18-under, 270 score was a Big 12 Championship record. The 270 crushed the previous record of 278 held by Oklahoma since 2014. Fierro carded a 7-under, 65, which also set a Big 12 record for lowest single round

score in conference championship history. Not to be outdone, Maja Stark came on strong in the final round. After a birdie on hole No. 2, Stark recorded seven straight pars before making the turn. Then she caught fire carding four straight birdies to start her back nine. Stark finished with a 6-under final round and 12-under for the tournament. She finished in solo second place. Four Cowgirls finished inside of the top 10 for the event, Maja Stark (12-under, second), Isabella Fierro (7-under, T-6) ,Rina Tatematsu (6-under, eighth) and Lianna Bailey (5-under, T-9). The No. 6 Cowgirls will now await their regional destination for the NCAA Championship. The Cowgirls are one step closer to their ultimate goal. The first women’s National Championship in school history. “I think everyone here wants to win a National Championship,” Stark said. “I think it would be really cool if we were the first women’s team at the school to win an NCAA Championship. We all have it in our minds.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

DON’T STUMBLE! (Part #3) “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate one another,” (Mt.24:9-10) All this I told you so that you will not go astray. (stumble) They will put you out of the synagogue, in fact a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.” (Jn.16:1-2) The are many places in the scripture that tell of persecution of true believers. Jesus said if they did it to me they will do it to those who follow me. (Jn.15:20) Many times this will separate the true believers from the false. No one likes hardships, difficulties and certainly persecutions, but the challenge comes and we don’t want to stumble and fall away.

Jesus speaks to the Smyrna church in Revelation: "I know your afflictions...slander...do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer...the Devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be careful..." Does God allow persecution and trials of different kinds? He certainly does! Couldn't God deliver them out of bad situations? Of course! Sometimes He will and sometimes not. He even governs how long the difficulties will last. These are times when we see the grace of God in wonderful ways. His grace is made perfect in weaknesses. (2 Co.12:9) That is why we are not to be offended at God's ways. Difficulties can seem to be hindering the very work of God, but the Lord is working in and through the situation to accomplish something good in the end.

OSU has midweek matchup with Mavericks Sam Hutchens Staff Reporter

Joel Devick OSU pitcher Kelly Maxwell winds up to pitch during Friday’s game of the Oklahoma State vs. Iowa State softball series on April 2, 2021 at Cowgirl Stadium in Stillwater.

The Oklahoma State Cowgirls come into their next matchup on a win streak. No. 11 OSU will play UT-Arlington Wednesday night at 6:00 PM in Stillwater. The Cowgirls (35-5) have won their last 11 Big 12 games, and 90% of their games at Cowgirl Stadium. A big reason for the win streak has been recent offensive success. The Cowgirls have scored double digit runs in three of their last five games. OSU closed out its sweep of Baylor with an 11-3 run-rule victory — a tally which took pressure off starting pitcher Carrie Eberle. “It’s good for (Eberle) to struggle, and not have the pressure of having to make a perfect pitch every time, like it’s been at times for her,” Gajewski said. “Good team win, good team weekend.”

Sophomore pitcher Kelly Maxwell is the probable starter for OSU Wednesday. Maxwell has compiled a 13-1 record. She has befuddled batters all season long and has a 1.19 ERA. Gajewski said he was disappointed to not have a midweek game last week to get his pitchers more innings. Because Maxwell pitched once over the weekend she, and senior pitcher Logan Simunek could see time. OSU welcomes a Maverick team with a 14-24 record. UTA is 0-8 against Big 12 competition this season with losses coming to Texas, Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas and Oklahoma. With Maxwell likely in the circle and the Cowgirl offense humming, OSU looks to pick up its 12th win in a row. “That’s what good teams do,” Gajewski said. “They continue to get better and they start playing their best softball this time of year.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
