As we complete the academic year and look back at the senseless tragedy last October, we remain grateful

for the incredible outpouring of love and support the Oklahoma State University family and Stillwater community received. It was truly overwhelming and heartwarming. The response from

the Cowboy family and beyond has strengthened and sustained us over these many months. We continue to lift up the families of the four precious lives that were lost in the tragedy, as well as the many survivors who are still recovering physically and emotionally. First Cowgirl Ann and I visited with the survivors and their families and have marveled at their resilience and resolve.

As we have done in previous times of tragedy, our campus and the extended Oklahoma State family have rallied together to support and comfort each other following the parade incident. That is the Cowboy way. Together, with a heavy but hopeful heart, we will move forward. And, we will remember. f o l l o w o ’ c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

Letter from former SGA President Kyle Hilbert fo rm er SGA P re si den t K yl e H ilb ert

The Cowboy family hurts together, and we also heal together. As we look back and grieve our lost loved ones, we are reminded of the resolve of this family. No campus should have to experience the turmoil we have. Through it all, we have learned that as Cowboys, we truly are Stillwater Strong. Not because

of some slogan or our strength as individuals but because of our reliance upon one another. As Ecclesiastes says, “A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” How much more difficult to break is the bond of hundreds of thousands of Cowboys? As we reflect, let us never forget the sacrifices made. Spend a little more time in prayer, hold those we love a little tighter and

open our hearts a little wider. The core of life is our family – and no family has a tighter bond than the one at Oklahoma State University. This is not because of the shared color orange, but because of the strength that we have when we stand swaying back and forth, arm-in-arm, Stillwater Strong, loyal and true. f o l l o w o ’ c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

Editorial: 6 months later, we are still strong O ’C olly e di tor ial b oa r d

A lot can change in six months. We learn new lessons. We walk new paths. We meet new people. But we remember what we learned before. We remember what got us here. We remember to spend time with lifelong friends. We do not forget Nikita Prabhakar Nakal, Bonnie Stone, Marvin Stone, Nash Lucas and all others who were affected. The homecoming parade crash on Oct. 24 changed all of us. Whether we were at the scene, tailgating down the street, at home across town or hundreds of miles away, we felt it MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2016

in our guts, in our eyes, in our hearts. Maybe it changed how you valued your education. Maybe it changed each step you took. Maybe it changed how you spoke to those you love. Everything changes, but nothing does. We still remember how we felt that day. The words were unbelievable. The pictures seemed impossible. The thoughts felt imaginary. But it was real. We cried, and even if we couldn’t, we wanted to. The nation talked about Stillwater that day, but we will talk about it for the rest of our lives. It will take more time than we’ve had to fully

understand what happened Oct. 24, and we may never understand it. But we have a start. We have stories. These stories are not about us as the O’Colly. It’s about us as a community. It’s about the people in our classes, on our campus and in our town. We will pass stories down to our children and our children’s children. We will pass on chapters of the togetherness of Stillwater that day along with the other tragedies this city has dealt with. We are still loyal. We are still true. We are still strong.

But Bryans said OSU wouldn’t use the same money to help soften the blow of budget cuts expected for the fiscal year starting July 1.

be cut until state legislators complete the budget in late May. But university officials have said those cuts will likely result in higher tuition and fees, fewer courses, and fewer faculty members. In December, OSU had to cut 3 percent, or about $3.3 million, from its state appropriations. That amounted to about 1.35 percent of its overall budget, the university’s vice president for administration and finance told the Faculty Council in

January. Joe Weaver described the cut as difficult but not disruptive. OSU cut another 4 percent, or about $4.2 million, from its state appropriations in March. “The university was able to manage through the 3 percent and 4 percent reductions by cutting reserve funds,” said Shutt, OSU’s director of communications. Reserve funds are dollars that OSU departments have left over in their budgets at the end

of the fiscal year. The reserve funds are carried over to the next fiscal year and many departments set aside a “onetime fund” to be used only when necessary, Shutt said. Weaver also told the Faculty Council that the 3 percent cut would “not impact any student’s graduation or course work,” according to the minutes of the January meeting.

news

Calle Ocho brings downtown Stillwater to life Riley Medill Staf f Rep orter

For one Saturday night in Stillwater, the usually sleepy downtown area came alive with the sound of a mariachi band reverberating throughout the alleyways and sidewalks. People came from all around to see what was happening on the 7 Avenue cor-

ridor stretching from District Bicycles to Red Rock Café on Saturday. It was none other than the Calle Ocho: Latin Street Festival. The Latin Dancing and Cultural Club at Oklahoma State University hosted the festival, which not only included live traditional Latino music and dancing but also face painting, carnival games, and a slew of food trucks and vendors. Alyssa Baker, the treasurer of LDCC, said the group had not hosted the event in eight years and felt it was time to bring it back. Baker, a civil engineering senior, said it was a hard task, but the LDCC collectively was able to pull it off.

“I just wanted to do something fun at the end of the year,” Baker said. “We wanted something that really brings OSU together with the Stillwater community and the Latin community.” The LDCC brought in several performers for the event, including dancers from Clips N’ Hips dance studio in Oklahoma City and members of Orquestra de Calle, a prominent Cuban band. Kansas City Latin band Son Venezuela headlined the event. Evan Hoffman, a member of Son Venezuela, said he was impressed with the festival and thought it could be helpful in promoting Latin music in a fun environment.

“I think it’s great,” Hoffman said. “I think these events are very important. “I come from Kansas City, and around there, these types of events are very rare. The more we do these events, the more the music gets out there, and that’s something we need. Latin music, especially salsa, needs to be shared more.” The upbeat music and smell of the food trucks wafting through the air must have done the trick, too. Roger Price, a Stillwater resident, said he heard the commotion and had to come see the event for himself. “I live in the neighborhood, and I heard the music,” Price said. “It sounded

Most anticipated movies for summer 2016 BY Bran do n S c h m it z Sta ff Report er

“X-Men: Apocalypse” Releases May 27

Fox’s “X-Men” series is remarkable in that it has managed to endure for 16 years with only a couple of bumps in the road. At this point, we can forgive “Last Stand” and “Origins: Wolverine,” right? Throughout the past five years, especially, the franchise has solidified itself as one of the most reliable players in the comic book adaptation game. “Apocalypse” marks director Bryan Singer’s

fourth go at the helm. In spending so many years with a single property, otherwise gifted directors, such as Sam Raimi with “SpiderMan 3,” often run the risk of becoming creatively stagnant. Fortunately, the trailers have at least looked promising so far. 20th Century Fox Oscar Isaac’s Marvel’s newest additon to the “X-Men” “Apocalypse” series includes the character Jean Grey.

James Creek

“Warcraft”

Releases June 10 At this point, you can be forgiven for having little confidence in upcoming video game movies. From old-school stinkers such as “Super Mario Bros.” to the recent “Hitman” adaptation, video game films have done little to endear themselves to audiences. “Warcraft,” like December’s “Assassin’s Creed,” gives me hope because of the talent behind it. Duncan Jones might have a brief directorial résumé, but “Moon” and “Source Code” are not exactly bad places from which to start.

Additionally, with a talented cast that includes Paula Patton and Ben Foster, there is definitely an air of legitimacy to the project. Based on the world and the mythos, “Warcraft” is as ripe for a big-screen adaptation as the likes of “Halo” and “Mass Effect.” Fingers crossed, this will be a turning point for these movies.

“Star Trek Beyond” Releases July 22

Like the best Marvel films, J.J. Abrams’ two “Star Trek” outings are everything that summer blockbusters should be: focused, yet fun, with characters who bounce off of one another well. With “Fast and Furious” director Justin Lin stepping into Abrams’ shoes, “Beyond” looks to take a decidedly different approach. On paper, the premise captures the spirit of the original TV show, with the crew embarking on a five-year mission across the final frontier. However, the first trailer feels like an attempt to capitalize on the success

of “Guardians of the Galaxy.” The film is excellent, but it’s tone does not gel well with the universe that even Abrams’ films set up. They might be more actionheavy than the original series, but neither film is “Big Trouble in Little China” in space. Trailers are not the beall-end-all on whether a movie Paramount Pictures is good, but Marvel’s new summer film, “Star Trek it’s difficult Beyond” is directed by J.J.

Cowboys win TCU series behind massive third inning

H ay d e n Barber Sports Editor

UP NEXT When: 6:35 p.m. Tuesday Where: Baum Stadium, Fayetteville, Arkansas Broadcast: SEC Network+

Conor Costello looked like Phil Forte. In his first home start in seven weeks, Costello launched a three-run shot off the netting in left field. As he took his final steps toward the plate, he lifted three fingers on each hand. Costello was one of the many highlights in the Oklahoma State baseball team’s 11-7 victory against No. 4 TCU on Sunday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. “I can’t really shoot a 3-pointer,” Costello said. “But it was a good day, for sure.” The home run capped an eight-run third inning, the Cowboys’ highest run total in an inning since April 7, 2015, in a 24-2 Bedlam victory. OSU and coach Josh Holliday were on their way to MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2016

winning their third straight series against TCU (28-10 overall, 10-5 Big 12). “I’m thinking about three minutes ago, not three years ago,” Holliday said. “That was a heck of a series by our kids.” Cowboy starter Jensen Elliott (5-2) was among those deserving of a smile as he threw 5 1/3 innings with five hits and two runs. A jam in the top of the third almost crushed the freshman right-hander’s outing, though. After a pair of singles and a walk, the basses were loaded for Josh Watson. A Horned Frog outfielder, Watson was tied for second the Big 12 lead in home runs after adding his eighth Saturday off Cowboy starter Trey Cobb. Elliott caught Watson, his childhood friend, looking and trotted off the mound with a fist pump. “I definitely had some confidence to show there,” Elliott said. “Getting out of a jam like that really boosted

the confidence for the team.” The Horned Frogs continued to chip away at the OSU lead, scoring four runs in the top of the sixth. Catalyzed on a leadoff double, TCU scored on a fielder’s choice, another double, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly. First baseman Dustin Williams, OSU’s home run leader, answered in the bottom of the seventh for the No. 25 Cowboys (25-14, 9-6). Williams hit the first pitch he saw in his at-bat, and when he did, he paused and flipped the bat to his right. He launched his ninth home run of the season to center field. “I think that we have to play to the last pitch no matter what happens, even if we were up by eight runs like we were in the third,” Williams said. “But I think that was a big deal that we just continued putting it on ‘em.” F o l l o w h ay d e n : @HK_Barber
