OSU students compete for chance to cross Europe one Red Bull can at a time
S ava n n a h E va n o f f Ent e rta i n m e n t E d i to r
Three Oklahoma State University students hope Red Bull will fulfill its slogan and give them wings. Lexie Davidson, Rylie Carter and Maggie Rahhal are a team in the Red Bull “Can You Make It?” challenge. They are competing against college students from 50
countries to fly to Europe for free April 12-19, but there’s a catch. The winning teams will use only Red Bull cans as currency to survive and travel. To compete in the challenge, the team submitted a written application detailing why it deserves to go to Europe and a video representing the team’s identity.
Team name: The Oklahomies.
“I think we all just have a mutual passion for traveling and being spontaneous,” said Carter, a strategic communications junior. “We’ve all traveled internationally before on our own time, and then once we heard about this competition, it just sounded like all three of our personalities. “Nothing sounded cooler than spending a week together in

Europe ... and having to scavenge around with Red Bull cans and try to survive.” Carter and Rahhal have been friends since kindergarten, and they met Davidson when the three pledged Kappa Alpha Theta sorority their freshman year. The Oklahomies must first get enough online votes to be in the top 18 of 162 teams in the United States south region to pass the first round. Red Bull will inform the top 18 teams from the south region Thursday and select four to be part of the 165 teams to go to Europe. Red Bull will publicly announce selections March 7. People can vote online via Facebook on the Red Bull “Can You Make It?” challenge website. Ross Morales, a friend and

but The Oklahomies have consistently remained ahead in the state, Davidson said. “I honestly thought at the beginning of this process, ‘Man, we’d be doing really good if we got 500 votes on this,’” Davidson said. As of late Tuesday night, The Oklahomies have more than 2,200 votes on their video. “I feel like we’re constantly in a group chat, the three of us, like, ‘Oh my gosh this video has this many votes,’ ‘we just dropped this place,’ or ‘oh my gosh, we’re gaining votes,’” Carter said. The Oklahomies’ one-minute video features the team waving the Oklahoma state flag and gallivanting around Stillwater and the OSU campus. The Edmon Low Library bell rings loudly in the background toward the end of the video. “The bell actually just hap-
pened,” Rahhal said. “We were filming in front of it, and we didn’t even think about it. And then it went off.” Morales often told the women to be themselves on camera, said Davidson, a strategic communications junior. “So that was us all natural, running, doing piggyback rides, just having fun and laughing,” Davidson said. “We really wanted it to represent who we are and not just be this acting that a lot of videos do that we saw, and I think (Morales) did a really good job capturing that.” Rahhal, a math and Spanish junior, said it’s unfortunate some of the other videos in the challenge feature locations with beautiful scenery such as the Florida beaches. “We’ve got Boomer Lake over here,” Carter said. “Will that do?”
The team submitted the video Feb. 14 and promoted it on social media, Davidson said.
Mission: to gain votes.
“It was funny at first because we knew the ultimate goal of this video was so cool and so worth it,” Carter said. “But then once the video was made and it was time to submit it, we were like, ‘Wait, are we actually about to blast our faces all over social media?’ ... because that’s not our personalities.” The team has reached out to other Theta chapters to gain support, Carter said. “That part alone has been cool enough of an experience to see people actually supporting us in this crazy, random idea,” Carter said. Davidson said going to Europe would be the adventure of a lifetime.
Final destination: Paris.
“Once we get to Europe, we’ll be dropped off in one of five destinations,” Davidson said. “From there, everyone has to get to Paris; that’s the end location. You literally have to travel across country borders to get to Paris in seven days.” Red Bull will invite members of the first team that arrives in Paris to be Contiki Travel Ambassadors for the summer, where they will travel across Europe visiting attractions. Red Bull employees will take away team members’ phones and money and give them a GoPro camera and stockpile of 24 Red Bull cans in return once they are in Europe. There will be checkpoints where the teams can get more Red Bull cans, Carter said. “I think we will run into some rough patches,” Rahhal said. “You have to be really vulnerable and accept help and know that you’re
not going to be able to do it by yourself. It’s going to be hard to be like, ‘I don’t have a place to stay. I don’t have food. I don’t have money. Someone provide me with those things.’” Madeline Milby, an elementary education junior and friend of the three women, said she definitely doesn’t think she could do it. “The three of them are really creative and just love adventure,” Milby said. “So it’s the perfect thing for them.” The team will find out March 7 if it will get its wings. “I think we’ll just be so excited to be there with each other that whatever’s making us mad we’ll be like, ‘Hey, we’re in Europe,’” Carter said.

That night, he said, he lied in bed, unable to fall asleep. “It was just knowing that if I had fixed maybe one little, minor thing, it could’ve went in,” Carroll said. “Could’ve changed our season, probably.” OSU coach Travis Ford has also said he has lost sleep this season. Before the Cowboys’ rematch with Oklahoma (21-5 overall, 9-5 Big 12) at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Norman, Ford said this year has been his hardest as a coach. With OSU near the bottom of the Big 12, it’s more than the team’s record irking him at night. “I’ve had years that were challenges and things like that,” Ford said. “But it’s also a lot tougher when things are out of your control, as far as injuries and things.”
The Cowboys (12-15, 3-11) are without their two best players, with guards Phil Forte (torn left ulnar collateral ligament) and Jawun Evans (dislocated right shoulder) done for the season. Three-fifths of their new starting lineup is playing “near 60 percent,” Ford said Saturday after OSU’s loss to Texas Tech. devin wilber/o’colly File photo Oklahoma State guard Jeffrey Carroll puts his hands on his head after Guard Tyree Griffin twisted his his missed buzzer-beater at the Bedlam basketball game Jan. 13. right ankle against Kansas on Feb. 15.

Atherton Hotel renovations almost finished
M at t Villareal Sta f f R e p o rt e r
The Atherton Hotel is in the final stages of its $20 million renovation, and the project’s architect said April 1 is the target day for its completion. “We’re getting close,” Nigel Jones said. “We’re in the final stretch. … But it’s such a big project, especially when dealing with all those hotel rooms.” The original purpose of the renovation was to restore the popular
hotel from gradual wear-and-tear damages. But once it started, Jones said it became evident more work needed to be done. “When you have to balance your toiletries on the toilet because there is nowhere to place your toiletries, it makes us ask the question if we could make the bathrooms a bit bigger,” Jones said. As the university architect, Jones is providing oversight for OSU on the project. The renovation started February 2014, and the hotel will allow for larger guest rooms and bathrooms inside the hotel. With bigger rooms, the room count inside the hotel will drop to 69, compared to 81 before the renovation. Accounting freshman Nissi Ngassa said he is aware of the
current renovation, as well as the other construction projects around OSU’s campus. He said he wished students had more input on projects. “I know construction is an ongoing thing, and it has to be done,” Ngassa said. “Sometimes I just wish (students) would get more of an input when it comes to construction projects like this. A lot of times they have an affect on student’s abilities to access different spots on campus.” The construction hasn’t hampered the Rancher’s Club’s business, the restaurant’s manager said. Business has been booming despite the renovation, Naveen Kodadhala said. “As a matter of fact, this has been our busiest time since the restaurant has been open,” Ko-
collin mccarthy/O’COLLY The Atherton Hotel remains under construction during its $20 million renovation. The construction is planned to be completed by April 1.
dadhala said. “It is a time of great momentum, and every year we are doing more.” The Rancher’s Club was added in 2005 with the purpose of matching the esteem of the upscale hotel. This project is the hotel’s second major renovation since it opened in 1950. The first was in 2004, the same year the hotel was selected
for the Historic Hotels of America program. “It was a very nice hotel, but it was beginning to look a bit tired,” Jones said. “As a popular hotel, it really gets a lot of wear and tear on it. It was in need of work desperately.” F o l l o w M at t: @ m at t _ v i l l o 3
