Sebastian Shetters, a physics junior, said it was inspiring to see these Thursday evening, Oklahoma programs for middle school students.

She said NENS sented to people without any context collaboratively builds a culturally or critique from the group to ensure

its relevance. NENS creates culturally specific curriculum for each nation.

NASA funds NENS through its Science Mission Directorate, which funds all NASA missions. In 2015, NASA started the Science Activation program as a way to share NASA’s data with the public. Gardner-Vandy said because NASA is funded by taxpayers, it has a responsibility to share its information with everyone.

Gardner-Vandy spoke about her background growing up in Oklahoma but going to Arizona and joining a cohort aimed at helping Native

American students seeking master’s and doctorate degrees in STEM fields.

This is where she learned about Native American culture.

“I did not grow up with my family thinking it was important to learn about Choctaw culture,” GardnerVandy said. “This is how things have gone, sometimes for decades, within Oklahoma with the context of families that have been here for a long time.

My great grandmother did not want to be Choctaw.”

show, Brooks called out a student after he asked for music majors to raise their hand. It happened to be Isaac Jones, the student who sang for Brooks last year during a seminar in Stillwater.

Brooks remembered Jones and asked Jones to sing “Tennessee Whiskey,” and it left Brooks, and the crowd, speechless.

“That was definitely the most nervous I’ve been to sing in my life,” Jones said.

“When they put the spotlight on my face, I turned and saw a thousand faces looking at me. That was definitely a core memory for me.”

Jones sang the first verse of the song, leading into the chorus, but the crowd interrupted and cheered for him. Brooks wanted to hear the chorus.

The way Jones sang his version of the song included added-on vocal runs that went up and down the note scale.

The Cowboys had three home runs. Shortstop Marcus Brown fired up the “Gap Band” in the second inning with his solo homer. Second baseman Roc Riggio had a solo home run in the third inning, as did catcher Chase Adkison.

Holliday said Adkison deserves credit after his performance the last two months.

“I thought Roc was pivotal, as was Marcus,” Holliday said. “Like I said, if we were giving out a mid-season or this point in the season MVP, Chase Adkison gets it.”

Despite getting the Sunday win, Tevin Tucker, Mountaineer shortstop was instrumental in WVU’s success against OSU. On Friday, Tucker scored two runs.

On Saturday, he went 3-3 and on Sunday he went 4-5. Holliday has coached against Tucker for four seasons, but Holliday said something was different about him in this series.

“He played tremendous, he had a great series,” Holliday said.

“That was the best I’ve ever seen him play. I think he’s a senior now, he’s grown in many ways.

He’s a much better player than he’s ever been.”

During the five game skid, Holliday and certain athletes stated that while their opponent had success with timely hitting, the Cowboys did not. OSU flipped the narrative on Sunday. The Cowboys avoided their first six-game losing streak since 2018 and moved to 24-13 overall and 8-7 in the Big 12. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Chase Davis Ben Abrams gets the start on the mound for game two vs WVU.

OSU error proves costly, clinches series for Mountaineers

Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter A screaming ground ball forced David Mendham away from his perch at first base.

Mendham moved to his right, collecting the ball and delivered a throw to pitcher Isaac Stebens, who raced in to beat the batter to the bag.

The throw was on time but spiked in

the dirt. Stebens couldn’t come up with it.

The play, scored a single and error on the throw, delivered a go-ahead Mountaineer run. It defined the game, a 9-5 West Virginia Win. With two outs, the mistake gifted No. 25 WVU another at bat.

Landon Wallace, Mountaineer left fielder, deposited a three-run home run ball into the terraced concrete seating, magnifying Mendham’s mistake.

“The ball got put in play, kind of took us a little out of position, created a little awkward angled throw and they capitalized on that,” Holliday said. “Obviously, the swing behind it was a big swing because it put some distance between us and them at that

sports Watts-Brown struggles early, Cowboys fall to West Virginia in series opener

Daniel Allen Staff Reporter In a normal outing, Juaron Watts-Brown can often be seen skipping around the mound out of excitement after recording a strikeout.

Teammates feel that fiery persona. The sporadic bursts of energy warrants second baseman Roc Riggio to call him “a spark of energy.”

None of that, however, was on display in No. 18 OSU’s 6-3 series-opening loss to West Virginia on Friday evening. A strikeout was often followed by a disgruntled head twitch or an emotionless facial expression – eagerness to escape a jam, inning after inning. In all four innings pitched, Watts-Brown was engrossed in one, three of which came with the bases loaded.

West Virginia second baseman JJ Wetherholt – who entered the series leading college baseball in hits (46) – posted a lead-off solo home run on the first at-bat of the game. What in most instances would be a footnote to a remarkable outing by OSU’s ace pitcher proved to be a foreshadowing of the next four innings.

Shortly after, a bloop single and two walks loaded the bases. A hit batter plated another run.

It was already 2-0 West Virginia in the first inning.

Watts-Brown escaped the inning, but his struggles didn’t end there.

The Mountaineers (24-10, 4-3) capitalized on Watts-Brown’s early-inning struggles, plating four runs – three of which were earned – through his four innings pitched on Friday. “(West Virginia) did a

A two-run inning from the Cowboys (23-12, 7-6) in the bottom of the fifth trimmed the deficit to one.

However, runs plated by the Mountaineers in the top of the seventh and ninth extended their lead back to three. It provided a sustainable cushion for a series-opening win for West Virginia, giving OSU its fourth consecutive loss and the

Davis Cordova The McKnight Center hosted Garth Brooks Friday and Saturday.

Brooks...

Continued from 1 “When Garth wanted me to finish the chorus, it was really gratifying,” Jones said. “It felt like Garth honestly believed that I was a skilled singer and that was incredible to hear him say those things. I love singing for crowds, so I knew as soon as he looked at me and started talking, I had to jump on the opportunity and try and steer him to how I sang last time.”

Brooks taught students major chords, the ‘Cowboy D’ and the legendary country artists that inspired him.

Major chords are what a song is usually based from, instrumental wise. Songs are played in chords, providing a pleasant sound for the ear.

The ‘Cowboy D’ is a chord that’s popularly used. Brooks sang “Hallelujah,” Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” and Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush” to demonstrate how popular it is.

George Strait, Randy Travis, Merle Haggard and Bob Seger were some of the inspiring artists Brooks told stories and praised about.

Brooks said all he ever wanted to be was like Strait.

Brooks ended the show with “Friends in Low Places,” and allowed the crowd to film the ending.

Saturday’s concert provided boosters and donors of OSU to at-

tend, but for a price.

When the announcement of these concerts happened, OSU President Kayse Shrum said the goal for scholarship fundraising was $1 million.

Shrum announced Friday that Brooks’ concerts raised $2 million.

Brooks said doing things like this feels good and that he’s proud to be an OSU alumnus.

“President (Jimmy) Carter says that ‘There’s a light inside your soul that only glows its brightest when you do something for somebody else instead of yourself,’” Brooks said. “I’m the first guy to say I’m from Oklahoma State. I love it here because you guys handle everything with class and always put the kids first, which is pretty cool.” entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

Gardner-Vandy said it wasn’t until her generation expressed pride and curiosity about their culture and heritage that they began to learn more about their language and culture. She said having grown up apart from her Choctaw culture, she only knew science as a Westernized institution. She said Native Americans have an indigenous way of knowing and thinking about science.

Gardner-Vandy said the Science Activation program’s mission states it wants programs that will serve underserved populations. She spoke about how underrepresented indigenous people are within STEM fields and said she asks herself why.

Gardner-Vandy said Native Americans not pursuing STEM fields may be because the way American education focuses on STEM is through inherently Westernized methods. She said Western thought approaches science through statements like “I want to understand this,” whereas the indigenous way of knowing is through questions like “What is my relationship to this?” and “What is this telling me?” She said Western thought has entitlement and power to it, whereas indigenous thought is more nuanced and ecological.

Gardner-Vandy also addressed historical injustices Native Americans have faced, and how education was one institution that perpetuated anti-Indigenous ideologies, such as the Carlisle boarding school that aimed to strip away Native Americans’ culture. Gardner-Vandy said this generational trauma still has an impact.

“If you went into a school and they said that your culture was not important, that the way your family taught you was not right, then you’re probably not interested in participating,” Gardner-Vandy said.

Jerret Carpenter, a senior in philosophy and natural resource ecology and management, said he has experience with NENS because he is a student leader in OSU’s Center for Sovereign Nations.

“I already knew the guest speaker,” Carpenter said. “I just mainly came to support her.” news.ed@ocolly.com

News The Almighty S promotes women in architecture Taylor Carroll Staff Reporter The Women in Architecture Collection showcase was held on Tuesday to promote females in the field.

Sara Mautino is the current visiting assistant professor and manages the Cunningham architecture library.

She helped plan and execute the Women in Architecture Collection Showcase to show the success of female architects and inspire more women to join or continue in it.

“Only 22% of licensed architects in the US are women and 45% of the students in architecture school are women,” Mautino said.

“So, there’s a huge drop. And we’re just trying to find ways to make women more visible in the profession.”

Mautino said the profession is a male dominated and needs to improve. She said the AIA, American Institute of Architects, have released a report on the biases in the profession. It talks about people of color, members of the LGBTQ community and women and their experience of discrimination in architecture. It also discusses ways to improve bias.

The Women in Architecture Collection showcase had many books on display written by the female authors like Leslie Kern along with past female architecture students’ designs. The event had snacks and activities to encourage people to come.

One of the activities was writing a trait of female architects down on a paper puzzle piece and sticking it to a board. When all pieces

Taylor Carroll The Women in Architecture Collection promotes female architects.

were placed on the board, it replicated Zaha Hadid’s Dongdaemun Design Plaza in South Korea. Many of the female students, including Ryan Thompson, look up to Hadid as a great inspiration for female representation in architecture.

Thompson is a thirdyear architecture student and part of The Almighty S, who helped put the event together.

The Almighty S is a women design club that helps empower women in architecture,

graphic design and interior design. This event is part of a design week that every architecture club is participating in to come together and benefit the design school.

“I think it’s important because I feel like they [women] are not recognized enough,” Thompson said.

“And in my opinion, I think women have a lot to bring at the table, especially in design fields.”

Olivia Bailey is a thirdyear architecture student and

member of The Almighty S who helped put the event together. She said that it’s important for female students to see women being successful in architecture. She also said there are barriers, but the event shows that they can overcome them.

“It’s really important to kind of see the female architects that we have here and support for them,” Bailey said.

Rylan Flecker is another third-year student who is a

part of The Almighty S that put the event together. She said it was a good turn out for the event because past graduating class members came along with other female students and families.

“Especially the younger years, it’s important to show the support of the women [in architecture],” Flecker said.

“It’s always fun to see representation.” news.ed@ocolly.com

wide making it the highest grossing Japanese film of all time.

With such a decorated resume, you would think that “Demon Slayer” has a groundbreaking story, but “Demon Slayer” has one of the more generic plots of the newer anime on the scene. “Demon Slayer” takes place in the early 1900s where demons wreak havoc on the people of Japan. Demon slayers are swordsmen who are tasked with slaying these demons. Fairly a simple plot, but “Demon Slayer” takes advantage of the plot structure being simple by focusing on the fights and the characters.

A lot of the credit to “Demon Slayer’s” breathtaking visuals and fight scenes goes to Studio Ufotable, which is known for some of the best animation in the industry. However, most of the credit needs to go to

Gotouge since his fights were the blueprint for Ufotable, and Ufotable was not the studio to make “Demon Slayer’’ one of the highest grossing manga of all time.

“Demon Slayer’s” characters are also a draw in for the series. The “Demon Slayer” character pool is fairly small, but Gotouge does a good job of making each character interesting and giving them their time to shine whether that be with an emotional impact or in a stellar fight scene.

“Demon Slayer” is now back with its third season covering the Swordsmith Village arc of the manga, which shines light on a new cast of characters alongside series protagonist Tanjiro Kamado. The third season is currently airing a new episode every Sunday on Crunchyroll. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

‘Star Wars’ Celebration 2023 recap Hayden Alexander Staff Reporter The force was strong with fans of the intergalactic universe last week as Star Wars fans were treated to several exciting announcements about their favorite galaxy far, far away.

The annual fan convention, Star Wars Celebration, was held over three days, and fans were treated to new trailers, talks with Star Wars actors, new movies and show announcements.

In case you couldn’t attend the event overseas in London’s ExCel center or missed the announcements debut on social media, I’ve got a quick recap of every new and exciting thing coming to the “Star Wars” universe.

Arguably the biggest news to come out of London is the reveal of three new movies set to take place in three different eras.

Daisy Ridley, who played Rey in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, will be reprising her role in a movie set to take place 15 years after the events of “Episode Ⅸ: Rise of Skywalker” as Rey attempts to rebuild the Jedi order. The film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, hopes to reignite the love for the sequel trilogy and add more to the story to tie it all together.

Dave Filoni, a director, screenwriter and producer on multiple “Star Wars” projects, is set to helm the film that will serve as the culmination of the widely popular “Mandaloiran”

series currently streaming on Disney+.

The final film announced in the lineup is a film that takes place 25,000 years before the events of “Episode Ⅰ Phantom Menace” and will explore the origins of the Jedi.

The director of the box office hits “Logan,” “Ford v Ferrari,” and “The Greatest Showman” is directing the project.

There has yet to be any word on the release dates for the upcoming three movies.

As for other rumored “Star Wars” projects, Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, confirmed that Taika Watiti, Shawn Levy and Rian Johnson’s movies are all still greenlit. However, she confirmed that Rogue Squadron, a story about elite rebel pilots, is tabled for now.
