Earl Mitchell discusses Stillwater, OSU’s advances in diversity

1973 Redskin Yearbook Kappa Alpha fraternity members dress up for their Old South week in the spring of 1973, six years after Mitchell arrived.
Routine of time
Earl Mitchell gets up at dawn. His life is in a routine, never even occasionally sleeping in. He wakes up and listens to NPR because he said it tells him the news of the day and tells it to him straight. It’s a monotonous routine, but after all the social changes he’s seen in nearly 50 years of living in Stillwater, he said monotony isn’t so bad. Mitchell, the first black professor at Oklahoma State University, fell into the morning routine after teaching biochemistry for 40 years at OSU with his first class at 7:30 every morning. After getting his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Michigan State
A work in progress
1978 Redskin Yearbook Earl Mitchell poses for a yearbook photo. Mitchell was Assistant Dean of the OSU graduate school from 1978 to 1982.
University in 1966, Mitchell started his career as a research associate at OSU in 1967. For the first year, Mitchell, like many other first-year faculty members, lived on campus in a residence hall on McElroy Road. He said among his neighbors were many of the
international students who lived in the former World War II barracks, which stood north of present-day Willis Fields, as the rent was only $90 a month. In 1968, Mitchell and his wife, Bernice, moved to their house where they’ve been ever since.
His passion for biochemistry is matched by his interest in promoting diversity at OSU, particularly in Greek life. Mitchell, 77, sat on his couch and talked calmly about the Sigma Alpha Epsilon incident at OU last year, in which members of the fraternity sang a racist chant which was caught on video and resulted in the expulsion of two students from the university. He said when he first started teaching, blatant racism was worse at OSU. Mitchell said the attitude of that generation is present, but a lot of people don’t realize the weight and history behind the things they’re doing. As a professor for many
years, Mitchell has mastered the art of giving examples. In 2002, photos were released of a party where some members of OSU’s Alpha Gamma Rho chapter wore blackface and Ku Klux Klan attire. Mitchell taught diversity training classes with the chapter once a week for six weeks. “I was giving this talk to these kids, and I said, ‘You know you have this Klan suit there and you understand what this means?’” Mitchell said. “And one guy said, ‘You know I was there when they came up with the Klan suit, and I was offended by it, but I didn’t say anything because these are my brothers.’” STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 3

motion. Washington High School remains on 12th Avenue where it has sat since 1900. Washington High was an allblack school in Stillwater until integration in 1956. Stillwater was not only segregated educationally but also geographically, Mitchell said. For years in Stillwater, the black community lived south of Ninth Avenue while the white community lived to the north. Before integration, the basketball team at Washington High was tremendously skilled and competed with teams such as Douglass in Oklahoma City and Booker T. Washington in Tulsa, winning a state championship in its final season. Mitchell said he wrote an article about the Stillwater High School basketball team after integration because,

After telling the story of Stillwater’s history with race, Mitchell said things have changed, but the attitude is still there. While speaking to his diversity class one day, he discussed white privilege to gauge the interest of the class. “The white privileged kids, they have a special advantage that they are probably not aware of,” Mitchell said. “That is,
if you wake up in the morning, there’s a good chance that when you turn the TV set on, you’re going to see somebody that looks like you. You go to a job interview, you’re going to probably see somebody who looks like you. Wherever you go, get a driver’s license, any place you go, there’s going to be somebody who looks like you. Probably somebody who knows your parents and your environment.” Mitchell said when a black kid wakes up, he or she is in an environment where nobody looks like or understands him or her. Life is different in that way for people in the minority.

OSU in Tulsa Research Days
OSU in Tulsa Research Days is a chance for students and faculty to celebrate the diversity of research activity at OSU-Tulsa and the Center for Health Sciences. Events begin Thursday afternoon at CHS with a Three Minute Thesis Competition followed by oral presentations in Room D107. Friday’s events at the OSU-Center for Health Sciences begin with poster presentations in Founders Hall followed by the keynote delivered by Dr. Rebecca C. Fry with the Gillings School of Global Public Health and director of the UNC Superfund Research Program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She will discuss compounds such as arsenic, which are known developmental toxicants and carcinogens that affect the health of tens of milions of people around the globe. Prenatal exposure to these toxicants have been associated with poor birth outcomes as well as increased risk for cancer later in life. While detrimental health effects have been linked to in utero exposure to these agents, the underlying biological mechanisms have yet to be identified. The data from this study offered insights into the mechanisms that associate in utero arsenic exposure with potentially long-lasting epigenetic effects that may underlie disease later in life. The keynote begins at noon in Room D107 and is sponsored by the OSU Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program.

OSU, Stillwater pledge up to $3.2 million for American Airlines flights
stetson p ay n e news e di to r
Stillwater, Oklahoma State University and American Airlines are in the final stages of drafting agreements for revenue guarantees once commercial flights start this summer. The two agreements commit OSU and the city to up to $1.5 mil-
lion each in monthly guarantees for two years once flights start. The agreements are being circulated for final signatures before they are official. OSU Communications Director Gary Shutt said the money is to ensure the flights are profitable. “They’re (American Airlines) in business to make money,” Shutt said. “Everybody puts some skin in the game.” How much the city and OSU will eventually pay depends on how many tickets are sold each month. Shutt said it’s possible that if flights are full, the city and OSU wouldn’t have to pay at all. “The more travel there is, the less we will pay,” Shutt said.
OSU has committed its share from the general university fund. The city has $200,000 from a federal grant in addition to its $1.5 million commitment. City Attorney John Dorman said one agreement is between American Airlines and Stillwater, with the other between the city and OSU. The agreements outline monthly guarantees of up to $2 million for the first year and $1 million for the second. “There are provisions in there for scheduling,” Dorman said. “If for some reason the flights don’t fill up, there are revenue guarantees.” Follow stetson: @ s t e t s o n _ _ pay n e

Jensen, Cowgirls prepare for revenge against Texas
Jordan Bishop S p orts R e p o rt e r
A year ago, Kaylee Jensen wouldn’t be playing. The workload was too much; she was worn out. It’s a different story in 2016. The dog days of mid-February are when basketball players have to
come up with extra motivation. For Jensen, it’s revenge against Imani Boyette and No. 6 Texas at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Austin, Texas. Boyette and the Longhorns beat Oklahoma State 78-48 in their previous meeting Jan. 9. The Cowgirls (18-4 overall, 8-3 Big 12) were flat-out embarrassed. “It’s kind of revenge, but we need to at least show them that we can compete with them,” Jensen said. “We laid an egg, and it was so bad. They’re probably thinking, ‘We get to play them again, and we beat them so bad.’ I would probably think that, too.” OSU is in the midst of a sixgame win streak and sits at No. 20 in the AP poll. The Cowgirls are a

different team than the one a month ago that got outrebounded 38-33, Jensen said. The Longhorns (21-1, 10-1) and Boyette continue to have an astounding season, but OSU coach Jim Littell has a plan to keep up with their high-octane offense. Littell said Jensen, who is averaging 27.7 minutes a game compared to 12 last season, might be getting worn down, but the coaching staff has cut down practice time recently to keep legs fresh. “We’ve got to make sure our group comes in with fresh legs and their bodies fresh,” Littell said. “I don’t know if that’s possible at this time of year because you’ve got 18 Big 12 games. It’s a grind.” Jensen will be key to a Cowgirl win in Austin. She has been the X-factor to Brittney Martin’s consistency. Every upset OSU has had this season has been from the two playing off each other. Against

the Longhorns last time, Boyette, a 6-foot-7 forward, kept Jensen to only eight points and six rebounds. Boyette finished with 12 and 11. “I think being more physical is probably what I got to focus on the most,” Jensen said. “The biggest thing is I can’t let her bury me too deep or else she is going to score all over me.” Jensen said this upcoming stretch of the season with Texas, West Virginia and Baylor is what she prepared for in preseason workouts. She can’t let her body beat her.

Today’s Birthday (02/10/16). Community efforts pay exponentially this year. Springtime profits (after 3/8) lead to new directions in your travels and studies (after 3/23), before two years of educational exploration (beginning 9/9). A cash influx (after 9/1) shifts your financial perspective (after 9/16). Collaborate for what you love. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- If you find yourself second-guessing or with self-doubt, take quiet time to sort it out. Limitations could chafe. Examine opportunities and options. An intensely creative moment flowers naturally. Love blossoms through communication. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Ask friends for their view before making big decisions. They see your blind spots. Make no assumptions ... check your data twice. Make sure you have the latest changes. Balance professional and social obligations. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 9 -- Finish the job on time and on budget. Urgent last-minute changes could keep you late. Consider possible roadblocks to avoid them. Brevity is the heart of elegance. Don’t let them see you sweat. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Travel appeals. If you can’t go, explore through the experience of another. Don’t overextend. Find ways to conserve resources. Will a digital conference or chat suffice? Be careful and thorough to advance. Organize well. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- Do the research, for a better bargain. Organize your moves and follow the plan. Relax. It’s a good time to buy and sell. Gain and stash resources. Your partner can help. Promises made now keep. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- You’re surrounded by love. Don’t rush into anything. There’s plenty of money, but none to waste. Pay attention to your partner. Collaborate creatively. Invent how you can each contribute. Romance sparks. Find what you need. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Old assumptions are challenged. In a potential clash with authority, use your own good sense. Show respect and compassion. Your work benefits from social networking. Invite people over. Learn useful new tricks from friends. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Practice your latest tricks. You’re especially creative. Family fun and games entertain, sparking brilliant ideas when least expected. Relax and play. Explore and discover. Someone finds your enthusiasm quite attractive. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Devote time and energy to beautifying your surroundings over the next few days. Clean, de-clutter and make home repairs. Make a change you’ve been thinking about. Get your family on board first. Resolve their considerations. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Research and writing projects come together. Ignore gossip. It can come back to bite. Tempers are short. Follow the money trail. If confused, go back to basics. Build and create over strong foundations. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 9 -- Provide excellent service and it pays. Demand for your work is rising. Don’t try new tricks yet. Keep others on task, and make sure the bases are covered. Gathering with loved ones is highly recommended. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Finish a tough job before going out. An elder has some pertinent instructions. Take on the challenge. Defer gratification for now. Your work is earning admiration. Invest in efficiency. Stay out of somebody else’s argument.
