OSU mourns loss of first AfricanAmerican enrollee Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k

The Oklahoma State University community is mourning the loss of a woman who was “an inspiration to people of all races.” Nancy Randolph Davis, 88, died Monday at 9:55 p.m. at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City, said Temple McKinney, Davis’ son-in-law. Davis began having autoimmune seizures about two weeks ago and was admitted to the hospital for observation after having frequent blackouts, said Calvin Davis, her son. Before the seizures began, Davis was living in Oklahoma City and was relatively healthy, he said. Davis, the first AfricanAmerican enrollee at OSU, was turned away twice before she was admitted to the university in 1949. She graduated from OSU in 1952 with her master’s degree in home economics

and went on to teach. In 2001, OSU named one of its newest residence halls after Davis. The university also offers three Nancy Randolph Davis Scholarships and has dubbed Feb. 1 as “Nancy Randolph Davis Day.” President Burns Hargis highlighted her “courage and persistence” in a statement released Tuesday afternoon “The Oklahoma State University family is truly saddened by the passing of one of our most revered pioneers, Nancy Randolph Davis,” Hargis said in a press release. “She believed strongly in the power of education and her courage and persistence paved the way for countless African-American students. Mrs. Davis was an inspiration to people of all races. She will be missed.” A service for Davis will be held at True Vine Ministries, 3701 Spencer Road, in Spencer on Saturday, Davis said. The time of the service is to be announced. news@ocolly.com

Column: Nancy Davis broke barriers By OSU NAACP

Nancy Randolph Davis enrolled at OSU during a time when segregation was legal in Oklahoma, and the only way she could attend a predominantly white institution was if she went somewhere out of state. After seeing her friend, Ada Lois Sipuel, become the

first African-American to be accepted at the University of Oklahoma, Davis enrolled herself at OSU despite the institutional racism she would experience. Not only did Davis break barriers by becoming the first AfricanAmerican to be enrolled at Oklahoma State University, she was also

SGA Presidential Debate shows unified interest in outreach Stetson Payne @Stetson__Payne

Tuesday night’s Student Government Association Presidential Debate gave the student body a preview of the three presidential candidates and their respective priorities. As far as those priorities go, all three candidates have one major thing in common: Student outreach. Each candidate, Chance Imhoff, Kyle Hilbert and Mason Taylor, expressed a strong interest in marketing SGA to the student body. The common goal among them is bringing more students to SGA ac-

tivities and better communication between constituencies and its members. Chance Imhoff said student involvement in SGA was vital to its existence and for the benefit of all students. “The biggest issue facing SGA is making every student a part of it,” Imhoff said. “We must brand SGA so students know what opportunities are available.” Kyle Hilbert said an extra step of an opendoor policy to all students would help with outreach in addition to previous programs and activities. “It’s great to have programs to bring students in,” Hilbert said. “We also need to reach out to stu-

dents to meet with them in person.” Mason Taylor said it would be a priority in his administration to reach out to students and have them involved with SGA. “One of the biggest things we’re concerned with is getting students engaged on campus,” Taylor said. The candidates disagreed on nothing, and the environment was less of a debate, and more of a conversation. Ideas and suggestions were discussed for each candidate to summarily agree with and add to. The atmosphere was anything but the backand-forth drama of typical political debate, as candi-

dates did not rely on buzz words or talking points to draw attention to their platform. Taylor said the atmosphere shows the true nature of the candidates. “It felt like more of a forum than a debate,”

Taylor said. “Which is great because it shows that we’re all on the same page, working for the students and creating a better OSU.” Hilbert said the debate was a good experience

and showed that all three candidates were qualified for the job. “It was an incredible experience,” Hilbert said. For the full story, visit ocolly.com/news

Candidates discuss priorities as mayoral election draws near Evan Kiley @OColly

Mayoral candidates Chuck Hopkins and Gina Noble are anxiously awaiting the April 7 municipal election. Noble is an OSU media and strategic communications professor and has been a city councilor for two years. Hopkins is a retired OSU adjunct researcher and former vice mayor. The candidates have made themselves available through several speaking events, forums and debates.

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY FILE PHOTO

Gina Noble has served on the city council for two years.

Quality of life, infrastructure and water are three of the most discussed topics. During the forums, Hopkins and Noble were

given a few minutes to answer several questions throughout the course of an hour. “Infrastructure is always

most important, specifically roads,” Noble said. “We need to renew the sales tax of 2016, that’s going to be really important and voters have to renew it.” Hopkins said he is in favor of raising the sales tax to improve infrastructure. Noble specified that water infrastructure and improving roads was her highest priority because it is a part of the overall quality of life in Stillwater. The sales tax that needs to be renewed for 2016 has become a primary focus of the candidates. The current total sales tax paid for purchases within Stillwater city limits is 8.813 percent,

according to the City of Stillwater website. Both candidates have stressed the importance of renewing the sales tax so trans-

portation and infrastructure can be improved for the future. For the full story, visit ocolly.com/news

Cowboys zap Shockers in 8-3 win

ONLINE BUSINESS COURSES

@Marshall_Once

March Madness success did not follow Wichita State to Stillwater. No. 12 Oklahoma State had a big inning offensively in the bottom of the fourth where the Pokes scored four runs, which propelled the Cowboys to an 8-3 win over Wichita State on Tuesday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. “The guy (Wichita State pitcher Tyler Jones) did a good job keeping the ball down early in the game,” third baseman Kevin Bradley said. “The umpire was calling that low strike and he was doing a good job taking advantage of it. We were able to put together a good inning and knock them out of the game and start putting some pressure on them.” The big inning for OSU (17-7) started with Conor Costello hitting a single, then stealing second. Corey Hassel was walked on a wild pitch and Costello was able to advance to third. Then, Bradley hit a shot to left-center that scored Costello and Hassel. Chappell was the next base runner when he hit a single that scored Bradley and advanced to second on a throwing error. McCain then pocketed a ball in the right-field corner that scored Chappell and resulted in a triple. “I think it’s coming together,” pitcher Remey

Kevin Bradley scored a run to go with three RBIs on Tuesday.

Reed said. “Hitting-wise, we are starting to put some good at-bats backto-back-to-back.” Bradley had a big game at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a run scored. “Kevin did a really good job,” OSU coach Josh Holliday said. “We set the table for him and he delivered. Guys got on base, we got them in position for him, and boom, he put the swings together that got us those first three runs.” Trey Cobb (2-0) got the decision with his two innings and three strikeouts. However, the Cowboys used a plethora of pitchers; they allowed the Shockers (11-13) three earned runs on seven hits and struck out eight batters. “Our pitchers did a really good job today,” Bradley said. “When our pitchers can come out and throw strikes and work ahead and keep the momentum

up, I think it really helps our team as a whole.” Junior shortstop Donnie Walton saw his first action of the season at home. Walton, who recently returned from right wrist surgery, played shortstop in the ninth inning and was welcomed with a good ovation by the crowd. “We’re bringing him along at what we think is a good, smart way to integrate him back into full play,” Holliday said. “... When he feels 100 percent, we’ll get him back out there. He’s certainly a big part of our team.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs.

Cowboys facing big changes in 2015-16 Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

Oklahoma State faced a major transition this season after losing Marcus Smart and Markel Brown to the NBA, but the Cowboys still squeezed their way into the NCAA Tournament before bowing out with an opening round loss to Oregon. Next year, OSU will have even more changes to combat. The Cowboys will lose three starting seniors in Anthony Hickey, Le’Bryan Nash and Michael Cobbins. That means Phil Forte will likely become the man and coach Travis Ford — assuming he keeps his job despite widespread fan criticism

— will have to mold a team with even less experience. OSU is still on the recruiting trail and has four more scholarships available, but here is an early look at probable key figures for next season’s squad: PG Jawun Evans: Evans is a McDonald’s All-American recruit out of Dallas and possibly the best point guard in the country. Evans is 6 feet tall, incredibly fast and plays with a good mix of scoring ability and passing prowess. In an ideal world, Evans matches the hype and is able to be a productive starting point guard from day one. SG Phil Forte: Despite struggling late this season, Forte will return after averaging 15 points per game

Travis Ford will look to develop OSU’s young talent in 2015-16.

in 2014. As a senior, Forte will see an even bigger role as he looks to etch his name deeper into the program’s record book. G/F Jeff Newberry: After

Newberry showed glimpses of promise this season, OSU will likely lean on his versatility in 2016. Newberry is a strong defender and should improve his offensive game.

O’COLLY

If he does, he could be a key cog for the Cowboys next season. F Leyton Hammonds: Players and coaches have raved about Hammonds’ ability for the past two seasons, but he has yet to show it consistently in game settings. Hammonds is a lengthy defender and good shooter who could likely play either small forward or power forward. If he progresses as expected in his junior season, Hammonds is a prime candidate for a starting role. F/C Mitch Solomon: The Bixby native delivered respectable minutes for OSU as a freshman, but now he will be OSU’s top option in the post. The Cowboys will need Solomon to develop

more confidence offensively and hope he can be a defensive and rebounding force. Other notable players: G/F Jeff Carroll: Known for his 3-point shot, Carroll needs to become a more consistent and complete player. F Tavarius Shine: Shine proved this season he can defend and shoot. If he has a good offseason, he could contend for a starting spot thanks to his toughness and all-around game. PG Tyree Griffin: An underrated bench player this season, Griffin should see a lot of minutes next year. With that comes a better chance to show off the full extent of his game.
