Noble overcomes early deficit to win mayoral election mayor of Stillwater. In all, 2,108 votes were made in the mayoral election. Noble received 1,177 and about 56 percent of the votes, and Hopkins received 931 and about 44 percent of the votes. “I am in shock,” Noble said. “I thought based off name recognition that I

After two months of campaigning, debating and answering questions from citizens, Gina Noble was elected mayor of Stillwater Tuesday night. Noble, an Oklahoma State media and strategic communications professor and city councilor of two years, ran against former vice mayor and city councilor Chuck Hopkins. Over the past two months, Noble and Hopkins worked diligently to convince voters why they should become mayor. Hopkins’ campaign focused on planning and studying to make city decisions, and Noble’s campaign was focused on the people and the voice of the citizens. Hopkins and Noble spoke at many forums to discuss their views on issues residents were concerned about. The economic development of downtown Stillwater and fracking were issues residents made sure they heard their candidates talk

would not win this.” Noble immediately thanked her son, Braxton, for the hard work he did in helping with her campaign. “Special thanks to my son, Braxton, for the hard work and support during the campaign,” Noble said. See Noble Page 12

about. Noble’s stance on fracking was consistent with her campaign platform and was similar to statements she has made at city council. Noble said more than 1,000 feet between drill sites and homes, schools, churches and hospitals is necessary due to lights, noise, fumes and trucks. Hopkins said the distance

proposed by city attorney John Dorman of 660 feet would be a reasonable distance from homes, schools, churches and hospitals. After numerous forums, which ended on Thursday, April 2, early voting opened up on Friday, April 3. Hopkins had a 31-vote lead after early voting and absentee voting was tallied, however after two precincts

were recorded in election day voting Noble took a 194 to 171 vote lead. As more precinct results were recorded, Noble’s voting lead continued to grow along with the excitement at Noble’s election party. A little more than 15 minutes after Noble initially took the lead, all 21 Payne County precincts had been recorded and she was elected

Anthony Allen charged with unlawful possession of marijuana Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

Oklahoma State center Anthony Allen was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana Friday, according to the Oklahoma State Courts Network. The district attorney’s office issued Allen a letter to appear May 5 at 1:45 p.m. before the Payne County Court. On Feb. 25, Police officers arrived at Allen’s on-campus residence in response to a reported smell of burnt marijuana, according to an affidavit.

After officers knocked on the door, Allen answered and confirmed he was a resident, the report states. Allen gave police permission to enter the room, where they smelled, “a strong odor of freshly burnt marijuana,” according to the affidavit. Police asked Allen if anyone else was in the residence and found two men in one of the bedrooms. One of the men was OSU starting point guard Anthony Hickey and the other is only identified as “Chavis” in the affidavit. Police asked the men if they had any marijuana. The men said they did not and Allen and Hickey both gave officers permission to search

the apartment, the affidavit states. As officers searched Hickey’s room, Allen asked an officer to close the door and then said he and a friend had just had just finished smoking marijuana in Allen’s room. Allen told police the friend had since left, the report states. Allen also told officers Hickey and Chavis were not involved, according to the affidavit. Allen then took an officer into his room, opened a desk drawer and pulled out a small, clear bag containing what appeared to be marijuana, according to the report. Police did not find any

other drugs or paraphernalia in the apartment. An officer issued Allen a summons but he was not arrested, according to the affidavit. The substance in the bag later tested positive as 1.6 grams of marijuana. An OSU athletic spokesperson said Allen did not travel to Oklahoma State’s game at Texas Tech on Feb. 28 as a result and faced no further disciplinary action. Allen, a 7-foot junior, averaged 1.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 7.2 minutes per game in the 2014-15 season. — Kaelynn Knoernschild contributed to this report news@ocolly.com

Corey Kent White gives another

emotional performance on ‘The Voice’ Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

Corey Kent White, an OSU student and talented country vocalist, returned to the stage of NBC’s “The Voice,” for the live playoff rounds Monday night. Looking dashing in a button-up and dark suit, White gave a passionately romantic performance of “Make You Feel My Love,” — the Garth Brooks version originally written by Bob Dylan. It is no surprise that White chose this song, considering multiple

talented artists, including Brooks, his wife Trisha Yearwood and Adele, have covered it. After the performance, judge Adam Levine said he was hoping for more of a climax at the end of the song, but was still pleased. White’s coach Blake Shelton was more impressed by the emotion that White brought to the stage. “More importantly, the mark of a great country singer is to move people with the story and your emotion, and not what you can do vocally.” Shelton said. “That is what makes you special and makes you stand out.”

Corey Kent White channeled his inner Garth Brooks during “The Voice” live playoff rounds.

Although in a previous interview White said it was not necessary to

have every performance be extremely emotional, it was clear in the live playoff

NBC

rounds that it comes natural to him. “I thought that was a

great job, dude,” Shelton said. Whether White moves on in the competition depends on America’s votes — with White hoping to score the country vote. The two contestants with the most votes from each team will continue on to the live rounds, beginning on April 13. Coaches will then pick one last contestant on their team to continue competing. The other will be sent home. The voting results will be aired Wednesday on “The Voice,” at 7 p.m. on NBC. news@ocolly.com

SGA rules candidates in violation of election rules; expert says otherwise Stetson Payne @Stetson__Payne

The Student Government Association Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that Chance Imhoff and Jacquelyn Lane violated a campaigning rule on open meetings at an SGA Supreme Court hearing Monday night. As a result, the candidates are prohibited from campaigning through SGA election poll closing time at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Imhoff and Lane spoke at the March 12 Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature meeting to campaign and hear student concerns. A petition was filed to the SGA Supreme Court alleging a violation because of OIL’s affiliation with SGA. SGA election rules prohibit campaigning at open meetings of SGA, which is part of SGA’s zero tolerance policy on elections. The court found that the candidates were in viola-

tion, ruling that OIL was an open meeting. A national expert on open meetings said otherwise. OSU professor Joey Senat serves on the Society of Professional Journalists Freedom of Information Committee and teaches media law at the Oklahoma State University’s School of Media and Strategic Communications. Senat said that the OIL is not a public body for multiple reasons. “I would agree that OIL doesn’t meet the statutory definition of a public body required to comply with the Open Meeting Act,” Senat said. “It doesn’t appear to act as an advisory committee.” A 1979 state attorney general opinion said OSU’s SGA is an open body and therefore subject to the Open Meetings Act. The SGA Supreme Court declared that OIL was also subject to the Open Meetings Act because of its affiliation with SGA. Senat said that because of how OIL operates, it

is not held to the Open Meetings Act. “I don’t see how that reasoning applies to the OIL,” Senat said. OIL is a political science credit course for students to learn about the congressional system on a state and national level. Its bills do not affect anyone, and the group does not make policy. Brandon Lenoir, OIL’s faculty adviser and an OSU

professor, said that the organization doesn’t function as a governing body, but as a mock legislature similar to model United Nations in the form of a class. “It’s basically an applied politics class that takes place throughout the semester,” Lenoir said. “ … The open meetings laws were put into place for policy-making bodies. “OIL is more like a student organization than a

governing body. They don’t make decisions that affect other student groups. They don’t take minutes because they don’t make decisions. Each of the meetings we have are workshops.” OIL has never subscribed to the Open Meetings Act because it is a class and not a governing body. OIL’s Chair Kaelyne Yumul testified in the hearing that OIL was not an open meeting for these

reasons and cited SGA rules mirroring the Open Meetings Act. Despite this, the court still ruled that OIL was in fact an open meeting of SGA. SGA Supreme Court Chief Justice John Ivy declined a request for interview on Tuesday. Imhoff declined to comment for this story. news@ocolly.com

Bedlam Beating: Cowboys crush Sooners 24-2 Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz

Dominated. Slaughtered. Annihilated. Take your pick. No matter which you choose, that’s what the Cowboys did to the Sooners on Tuesday night. An eight-run first inning was just the start of an absolute Bedlam beating as Oklahoma State clobbered the Sooners 242. In the 310th game of the Bedlam baseball series, the Cowboys’ dominance set a record for run differential between the two rivals. “It’s fun, it’s relaxing when you’re able to jump

out to a good lead like that,” left fielder Gage Green said. “You’re able to just calm yourself. But the big thing is, just stay in the moment. “Try to play the game like it’s 0-0 each time.” The Cowboys (23-9) scored three runs or more in five of their eight innings at bat. They batted .412 with runners in scoring position. The Sooners (22-13) couldn’t get outs; the Cowboys couldn’t make them. It was absolute domination, and OSU never let up. “We’re just a gritty bunch of guys,” Green said. “We’re always going to go hard, not take a play off. That’s just how we

play.” Second baseman Tim Arakawa was the spark for the No. 9 Cowboys. He led off the first with a single up the middle, coming around to score with Donnie Walton on Conor Costello’s two-run double. He then capped the outburst with a two-run blast off the Allie P. Reynolds Stadium scoreboard, his first home run of the year. “I think we brought a lot of energy to the plate that first inning,” Arakawa said. “We found some barrels, and everybody went up there having quality ABs and we were able to have a successful first inning. “… It’s always good to pop the cherry.” The Cowboys didn’t let

up on their rivals, either. They added four runs in the third. Three more runs came in the fourth, including Arakawa’s third hit and

RBI of the night. OSU batted around in the fifth, adding five runs to take a 20-2 lead before adding another four in the

sixth, giving the Cowboys the most lopsided Bedlam victory in history.

Cowboys are building a new identity Marshall Scott @Marshall_Once

Tuesday night showed that this is not last year’s Cowboy baseball team — and last year’s team won a Big 12 Championship. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are building a new identity this season. They proved that as they tore up the Oklahoma bullpen in a 24-2 win in this season’s first installment of Bedlam baseball. “Last year was a good team,” left fielder Gage Green said. “We didn’t want to be based off that team because we are a totally different team. I think Josh (Holliday) put it the best when saying we are not defending the Big 12 Championship anymore, it’s not the same team. Like everyone else, we’re chasing after it.” The last time Bedlam was played at Allie P., it took 18 innings to decide the winner, and the Sooners were able to top the Cowboys 12-9. There was a day-and-night difference this season as OSU won by the biggest margin in Bedlam history, 22 runs. “Well last year was a great year,” second baseman Tim Arakawa said. “We kind of want to go create our own identity this year. There are a lot of similarities.” Green, Arakawa and Holliday used the word “gritty” to describe this team.

Gage Green was 3-for-6 with three RBIs in Tuesday’s win.

“We’re just gritty,” Green said. “We’re just a gritty bunch of guys. We’re always going to go hard and not take a play off. That’s just how we play, just going hard every time. We kind of base our team of the word ‘grit’ right now.” The gritty Cowboys will be back in action as they play Kansas in Lawrence in a three-game series starting Friday. The Pokes are currently in first place in the Big 12 and have won 10-straight conference series, the most in school history. “I like the way the kids
