Students: This year’s welcome week not ideal >Shortened start-ofschool activities put pressure on newcomers

his year, Oklahoma State freshmen moved in later, will end a watered-down Welcome Week two days into class and are paying the most money of any class in history. These aren’t the most ideal circumstances while entering, for most, the biggest change of their lives. The governing council that set the Welcome Week schedule is composed of representatives from several major departments at OSU such as New Student Orientation, Residential Life, Admissions Office and Office of the Registrar. The committee started meeting monthly in October and decided in May upon the best possible Welcome Week schedule for students, all this after a 7 percent increase to tuition and a 3 percent increase to Residential Life rates. Gripes varied from student to student, but the one similarity was that their first few days at what many consider to be one of the friendliest universities in the nation could have been handled better. Ethan Sample, a multimedia journalism freshman, said he hasn’t hit too many roadblocks since MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 2016

Welcome to the ‘new’ O’Colly N at h a n ruiz e dito r-in - c h ief
That headline might leave you with some questions. The piece of paper you’re holding in your hands or the text you’re reading on your phone probably doesn’t look all
that different than it did a year ago. In that sense, the O’Colly is the same. We don’t have a radical design or style change as we might have had in recent years. We’re still publishing three days a week. We’re still online at ocolly. com 24/7. But as editorin-chief, I fully intend to increase the impact of that paper and text. You have questions. About this university and its quirks. About Mike Gundy and his mullet. About OSU dining and its long lines. We want to answer them
all. The O’Colly will continue to produce a print product every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Monday issues will consist of the news and events of the past weekend and the week ahead, making it your go-to guide for understanding what happened last night and preparing for what’s to come. Wednesday issues will center on entertainment and telling your stories. We’ll discuss Stillwater’s music scene, but we won’t hesitate to detail the club that’s doing a great deal of humanitarian good or the
professor who is relentlessly working outside of the classroom to make sure her students succeed. Friday issues will offer the most in-depth Oklahoma State sports coverage you can get your hands on. Not only will we track the football team’s quest for a Big 12 title, you’ll also be kept informed on the efforts of Cowgirl soccer, OSU cross-country, and various other club and NCAA-sanctioned sports. The O’Colly will provide the most coverage of sports that don’t get the attention football and basketball do.
Our website will also feature more digital and multimedia content than ever before. We intend to make the O’Colly as much a video product as it is a print product. We’ll also be adding the “O’Zone,” an online hub for blogs about OSU athletics, coverage of club sports teams, and national sports and entertainment news, in the weeks to come. Our investigative team will delve into the university’s payments and decisions, giving you a window into the choices and expenditures OSU’s administration is making
and explaining how it affects you. I want us to inspire you. I want us to excite you. I want us to make you laugh. I want us to make you cry. I want to make sure we answer every question you have, even those you haven’t thought of yet. So go ahead, ask away. Nathan Ruiz is a senior sports media and sports management major from Reno, Nevada. F o l l o w n at h a n : @ n at h a n s r u i z
you might not like it, but i do it because we care I’m sure I’ll receive backlash for writing and publishing ‘Unwelcome Week,’ and I invite that. I want you to be upset. I crave your input, good or bad. Because that means you’re invested, and that’s all I want. H ay d e n Too many things at OklaBarber homa State go by unnoticed News Editor or unknown, so when you respond to me, it means you What I am about to do is care about your university, just like I do. only because I care.

I love OSU. I wanted to be a student here since I can remember. My grandfather was a student here and died before I was born. When I put the newspaper together Sunday nights, every word is printed so our school is better than when he attended. This is personal for me. It matters at a level I can feel in my heart. I want to publish flawless papers with in-depth reporting and soul-reeling writing, but I know we will make errors. And I want you to correct me when I do. Nag me. Bother me. But let me know

whether it hurts me or helps me. I want the best for you, those who won’t read this and the university. I urge you to keep that in mind as your attitude about me changes. In journalism, it can appear writers and editors become obsessed with getting the next tip, the next story or the next job — uninterested in anything but themselves. Journalists can seem like Narcissus, falling in love with their own reflection. I fell in love with OSU, and that’s all you need to know.
Monday editions of the O’Colly will be littered with the news you need to know — unfiltered, uncovered, unbiased. My staff and I will not hold back. We will make you smile and frown. You will have your feelings hurt, and I understand why. I wish my staff could report only the daisies, but they can’t. Because we care.

uninterested, other students such as Miranda Sheppard didn’t go to Welcome Week events, which cleared their schedules before classes started Monday. “I think it’s good timing,” Sheppard said. “It gives me time to check out my classes.” Sheppard’s approach is the last thing the assistant director of New Student Orientation said she wants. “We hope the students will come to as many Welcome Week events as they can,” Palvih Bhana said. “There is something for everybody.” Bhana said Welcome
Week has been shortened and tightened this year because of classes starting earlier than in years past. The event calendar is smaller than a year ago. There is no movie night, no concert, no lawn party. Welcome Week started on a Wednesday last year after a Tuesday move-in, and it ended that Sunday. This year, it starts and ends two days later than last year. Fifty-eight events happen Monday and Tuesday, after the first classes of the semester get underway. “That’s a little hard,” Bhana said. “It was tough this year, especially with school starting, but at the
same time, we are going to offer sessions. Our presenters who do have sessions know they may not have as many people because of classes, but not everybody has a class at that time.” At a university of about 25,000, Bhana isn’t going to please everybody, she said. She is disappointed Welcome Week couldn’t include some of the glamorous events it featured before. “But I hope next year, when we go back to our normal schedule, we can do that,” Bhana said. “And bring it.” F o l l o w h ay d e n : @hk_barber
