Hubbard returns, OSU back in Big 12 Championship conversation J e r e my Ko lok S po rts R ep ort er @ Je r emyKo lok

Canada’s Cowboy will return to Stillwater for another ride.

Oklahoma State’s star running back Chuba Hubbard posted a video on his Twitter account shortly after 5 p.m. Monday to announce highlyanticipated news for OSU football fans.

After weeks of deliberation to open the new year, Hubbard revealed his intentions to return to school to play for the Cowboys again in 2020 rather than enter the 2020 NFL Draft, as many suspected he would decide to do.

“Returning. In. 2020,”

the video said at the end of a montage of highlights from Hubbard’s spectacular 2019 campaign.

As his tweet rippled throughout the OSU community, optimism and hype for the Cowboys’ next season shot through the roof, fittingly, in the hours leading up to the final college football game of the 2019-20 season, in which LSU defeated Clemson to win the College Football Playoff National Championship.

As the season concluded, Hubbard’s numbers remained at the top of the rushing list.

OSU’s Canadian speedster led the nation in rushing yards with 2,094 and all-purpose yards with 2,334 in his redshirt

sophomore year in 2019, which was the 18th-best rushing total in NCAA Division I history and the second-best in OSU history behind Barry Sanders’ Heisman Trophy-winning 1988 season when he set the NCAA record with 2,850 yards.

After rushing for 158 yards in the Texas Bowl in December to finish the year, Hubbard joined Sanders as the only players in OSU history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season.

NFL draft experts have labeled Hubbard, who is listed at 6-foot-1 and 207 pounds, as one of the top running backs eligible for the 2020 draft, and had he declared for the NFL, he was expected to be picked

anywhere between the second and sixth round.

“You may not understand why ... But we do,” the OSU football team captioned a photo of the 2019 offensive linemen surrounding Hubbard in a group hug. The photo was posted immediately on its social media accounts Monday after Hubbard posted his announcement video, which was produced by OSU Athletics.

With All-American wide receiver Tylan Wallace’s New Year’s Day announcement that he’d return to school because he’s “after a Big 12 Championship in 2020,” and believes OSU has “the team to do it,” and

the Cowboys expecting to return starting quarterback Spencer Sanders, Hubbard’s announced return has Cowboy fans throwing around the term “Big 12 Championship” with sincerity for the first time since Mason Rudolph and James Washington roamed campus.

In Hubbard and Wallace, OSU returns the only duo in the country with at least 2,500 career rushing yards and at least 2,500 career receiving yards. The Cowboys also expect to return 10 of 11 defensive starters and 21 of 22 defensive players from the two-deep Texas Bowl depth chart.

“See you in Jerry’s

World,” OSU linebacker and fellow Canadian Amen Ogbongbemiga tweeted in reference to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which is the annual site of the Big 12 championship game.

“Life is good,” Hubbard simply wrote, next to a Canadian flag emoji, to accompany the announcement video in his tweet.

As Cowboy fans celebrate and prepare their expectations, the NFL will have to wait another year for Hubbard, who decided the incentives weren’t enough to pull the Canadian Cowboy away from Stillwater just yet.

GIVING BACK: A Residential Life coordinator encourages students to volunteer R e i d Rom ine O ’C olly C o ntr ib uto r @ o c olly

On a warm and breezy Saturday afternoon, 20 students from Oklahoma State University worked together to rake and pick up leaves that have fallen from the trees surrounding the Payne County Youth Shelter.

Nearly 40 trash bags full of leaves and brush sit piled up on the street, but the students aren’t done yet. They have already been working for an hour, and they still have another hour and multiple bags to fill.

This isn’t a club. These are not students who got in trouble.

These students are residents from OSU’s residence halls who just want to serve their community through a program called Alternative Spring Break.

Fred Dillard is one of many members of the department of residential life staff at OSU, but he is one of a few who uses his position to help the Stillwater community outside the boundaries of the campus.

Dillard’s role as the coordinator of student leadership within the residential life department allows him to interact with residents who are looking to volunteer and provide them with service opportunities.

Studies show that only

a small amount of college students volunteer in their community while in school. The community that serves them for four years receives almost nothing in return. That is why Dillard works to provide and encourage residents to take opportunities to give back to the Stillwater community that serves as a home away from home while they attend OSU. Dillard is in his third year working at Oklahoma State. He completed his undergraduate degree at Arkansas Tech University and his graduate school at Central Missouri before taking the position at OSU’s residential life department. Originally from Conway, Arkansas, Dillard did not have much experience with volunteering before taking the job at OSU, which is why he aims to lead by example for his students.

“My goal is to be more active in volunteering personally,” Dillard said. “By me volunteering, hopefully my students will volunteer. I have noticed while working with students over the last couple of years that it is easier to show them versus telling them they should volunteer.”

In Oklahoma, only about 28.5 percent of college students do volunteer work, according to the Corporation for National & Community Service.

Joyce Montgomery, the coordinator of the student

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2020

volunteer center at OSU, said the university has logged over 1 million service hours completed by students, but Montgomery believes not all the hours are being recorded so that number should be much higher.

“There are over 500 student clubs on campus and only 27 are listed as service clubs, but we know many others do community service,” Montgomery said. “We are still grappling at ways to record that and let students know the enormity of what they are doing and solving problems in today’s society.”

A 2015 survey by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics claimed the community service rate of college students is declining year by year.

The document reveals that 27.4 percent of students aged 16-19 were volunteering, while only about 19 percent of 20-24 year-olds participated in community service.

Dillard is trying to raise that number by impacting students in a positive way and forming relationships with them that encourage them to want to serve the community. In order to inform residents about his volunteer programs, such as Alternative Spring Break, Dillard emails every resident to invite them to events so he can inform residents, like Skyla Edwards, on the opportunities he provides to

serve the community.

“I heard of this program through the email Fred sent out,” Edwards said. “This is the first time I have participated in Alternative Spring Break, but I definitely think I’d like to do it again.”

Dillard’s passion for serving the Stillwater community has impressed his residents and fellow volunteers who praise him for how he operates his programs.

“I have worked with Fred a couple of times,” Carson Elmore, a volunteer of Alternative Spring Break, said. “I trust that anything that he is running is going to be going well to help the community.”

The good news for Dillard and Elmore is that being at a university is statistically one of the best places they can be at to recruit volunteers. John Wilson, who has done research on the

subject of volunteering, believes that is because of the skills students pick up at a higher level of learning.

“Level of education is the most consistent predictor of volunteering,” Wilson said. “Education boosts volunteering because it heightens awareness of problems, increases empathy and builds self-confidence.”

Alternative Spring

Break is not the only service program Dillard is in charge of. In the fall semester, he led residents to volunteer at places such as Our Daily Bread, Habitat for Humanity and Wings of Hope.

While there are usually only 10-20 volunteers that participate in each volunteer opportunity, Dillard will continue to serve the Stillwater community and hopes students will realize what he and the other volunteers have realized about their community.

“I think it is important for students to volunteer while they are at Oklahoma State because a lot of students are not from Stillwater,” Dillard said.

“They come to Stillwater for four or more years, use the resources in Stillwater and then they leave. While they are coming and gaining a degree and getting resources, I think this is a way to give back to the community that provides so much to them.”

Cowboys strive to improve confidence before texas game H allie Hart S taff Repo rter @ hallieha rt

Two days after Oklahoma State lost its third straight conference game, Avery Anderson III ranked his basketball team’s confidence level as a six out of 10.

The Cowboys’ trust in themselves is still alive,

up, so when we shoot the ball, we have more confidence,” Anderson said.

Anderson, a freshman point guard, said he would rate the Cowboys’ confidence level as a nine, the highest it has been this season, when they traveled to New York and won the NIT Season Tip-Off in November.

Veterans and newcomers

have given an NBA team some competition.

“If the Detroit Pistons were coming in here that following week, I think our guys would have thought they could have won,” Boynton said. “...

Right now, I’m not sure who could come in here that they would be sure they couldn’t lose to.”

In the first three confer-

Waters III and Thomas Dziagwa, senior captains who have established themselves as effective shooters, had no points.

Waters said to revive their high confidence level, the Cowboys need to ignore the outside chatter.

“Don’t worry about anything that goes on outside of the gym and get back to having fun,” Waters said. “I feel like we put a lot of pressure on ourselves going into Big 12, knowing that the competition level gets a lot higher, and every game means a lot more, but yeah, we just gotta get back to having fun.”

We’ve got to find a way to get these guys believing in themselves a little bit more, and hopefully, Wednesday will be a start to that.”

Mike Boynton

The Longhorns (114, 1-2) lost their first two conference games, but they will roll into Gallagher-Iba Arena with momentum from their 64-50 victory against Kansas State on Saturday.

As the Cowboys plan to face Texas, they are putting a greater emphasis on shooting in practice, a key step in possibly creating an offensive turnaround.

“You can’t score 40 and win,” Boynton said.

“That’s just the bottom line. So we’ve got to find a way to get these guys believing in themselves a little bit more, and hopefully, Wednesday will be a start to that.”

Adam Luther/O’Colly

Lindy Waters III, a senior forward, said to revive their high confidence level, the Cowboys need to ignore the outside chatter.

but it has withered since the start of the season, when they opened their schedule with seven victories. As they prepare to host Texas at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, they are striving to boost their confidence and their offensive efficiency, two factors that influence each other.

“We’ve just got to get in the gym, put more shots

Three things to watch for: OSU Cowgirls vs. Kansas State Wildcats S u d eep Tum m a As si stan t S p ort s E di tor @asktum m a

The Oklahoma State women’s basketball team (10-5 overall, 1-2 Big 12) looks to bounce back against Kansas State (7-6, 1-1) after a loss at Baylor. Here’s what you should be on the watch for.

The Cowgirls’ resilience OSU had one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the country with matchups against No. 5 Louisville, No. 6 Oregon and No. 12 Texas

A&M, yet they still came out with a 9-3 record.

But with a narrow loss to Oklahoma and a tough one with No. 2 Baylor, the Cowgirls will look to get back on track.

They’ve been resilient all season long after losses, but this will be the game where the Cowgirls will put their resiliency on display. After shooting a season-low 25% from the field against Baylor, OSU will be looking to come out with some fire and grab a victory on the road against a conference foe.

The rebounding battle The Cowgirls have

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2020

been an excellent rebounding team this season with their size, anticipation and sheer effort. And rebounding has been a key factor in determining the victor this season. In wins, they’ve averaged 45.4 rebounds and in losses, that number fell to 33.8. The Wildcats average 43.8 rebounds this season, 14th best in the nation. Their elite rebounding prowess makes it that much more vital for OSU to grab boards - on offense and defense - for it to emerge victoriously.

Adam Luther/O’Colly

Vivian Gray and the Cowgirl basketball team are looking to bounce back after losses to Oklahoma and Baylor.

OCOLLY.COM

Turnovers will be key In the Cowgirls’

heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma, one positive emerged: the turnovers.

Prior to that game, the Sooners had been turning the ball over at an extraordinary rate, and the Cowgirls exploited that by forcing 30 turnovers an OSU season-high - in that matchup. OSU also stole the ball 19 times.

19. The Cowgirls’ pressure defense played a big role once again. And while the Jayhawks aren’t as careless with the ball, they still average 16.5 turnovers a game, which leaves the Cowgirls who have one of the best turnover margins in the country - with a hefty advantage.

An OSU student has the right to: 1. Inspect and review information contained in his or her educational records within 45 days of the day that the University receives a written request from the student 2. Challenge the contents of the educational record.

3. Have a hearing if the outcome of a challenge is unsatisfactory.

4. Submit an explanatory statement for inclusion in the educational record, if the outcome of the hearing is unsatisfactory.

5. Secure a copy of the institutional policy, which includes the location of all educational records.

6. Prevent disclosure, with certain exceptions, of personally identifiable information from the educational record.

7. File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-5901.

Withholding Disclosure of Information Currently enrolled students may withhold disclosure of directory information. A student may file a written request with the Office of the Registrar to not release personally identifiable information, including directory information. Such requests will be honored until revoked by the student. The University assumes that failure on the part of any student to specifically request the withholding of directory information indicates individual approval for disclosure.

Access to Records Students may inspect and review their educational records by making a written request to the office that maintains the records (see Location of Records below). No non-directory information regarding students’ educational records may be disclosed to anyone without written consent of students, except for selected purposes as authorized by federal law, such as: 1. To “school officials” who have a “legitimate educational interest” in the student.

2. Upon request to another institution to which a student seeks or intends to enroll or is already enrolled if the disclosure is related to the student’s enrollment or transfer.

3. In response to a lawfully issued court order or subpoena.

4. In connection with financial aid if the information is necessary to determine aid eligibility or to enforce the conditions of the aid.

5. To accrediting organizations to carry out their accrediting functions.

6. To organizations conducting studies for or on behalf of the school in order to develop, validate, or administer predictive tests, administer student aid programs, or improve instruction.

7. To authorized representatives of the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, and to State and local educational authorities in connection with an audit or evaluation of an education program or for compliance with Federal legal requirements related to those programs.

8. To appropriate officials in connection with a health or safety emergency.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2019

9. Final results of certain disciplinary proceedings related to an alleged perpetrator of a crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense.

10. To parents of a student regarding the student’s violation of any Federal, State, or local law or of any rule or policy of the school governing the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance if the school determines the student committed a disciplinary violation and the student is under the age of 21.

Parental Access to Records At the postsecondary level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect their son’s or daughter’s educational records. Information regarding educational records is best obtained by direct communication between the parent and the student. Students may consent to release their educational records to parents, legal guardians, or other individuals by providing access using the Proxy feature in Self Service or completing the appropriate form in the Office of the Registrar. Such consent should be given in an uncoercive environment. Parents of a dependent student may challenge denial of access to educational records by producing the most current copy of Internal Revenue Form 1040.

Definitions “Educational Record” refers to those records which are directly related to a student and are maintained by an educational institution.

“Directory Information” includes: student’s name; local and permanent address or hometown; telephone number; year of birth; major field of study; weight and height of student participating in officially recognized sports; dates of attendance at Oklahoma State University; degrees, honors, and awards granted or received and dates granted or received; academic classification such as freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, etc.; institutional electronic mail address; most recent educational institution previously attended; dissertation or thesis title; adviser or thesis/dissertation adviser; participation in officially recognized organizations, activities, and sports; parents’ names and addresses (city and state only).

“School official” is defined as an individual currently serving as a member of the Oklahoma State University Board of Regents or classified as faculty, administrative, or professional, and the staff such school officials supervise; the President and CEO of the Alumni Association and President and CEO of the Oklahoma State University Foundation and the staff they supervise; the National Student Clearinghouse; and contractors, volunteers, and other non-employees performing institutional functions as school officials with legitimate educational interests.

“Legitimate educational interest” A school official has a “legitimate educational interest” if a review of a student’s record is necessary to fulfill the official’s professional responsibilities to the University. School officials may have legitimate educational interests both in students who are currently enrolled and in those no longer enrolled.

Location of Records

Several offices share responsibility for maintaining and releasing information pertaining to student education records. These include, but are not restricted to: a. the Office of the Registrar for academic records, b. the Office of Student Judicial Affairs for disciplinary records, c. the Office of the Bursar for billing and payment records, d. the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid for scholarship and financial aid records, e. the Human Resources office and Career Services office for employment/placement records, and f. the Communications Service office for directory information.
