Emergency phones bring old-fashioned security to OSU campus Ke lsy Sc hlotthaue r Sta ff R eporte r @ oc o lly
The emergency phones dotting the Oklahoma State University campus are analog phone lines, making them comparable to dinosaurs in this digital age. OSU police Lt. Mark Shearer said the emergency phones’ installation, which many students call “blue lights,” began in the 1960s. He said as campus grew, more emergency phones were installed, bringing the total today to 104. He said emergency phones cost about $4,000 each, not including installation, maintenance or phone line costs. Emergency phones were originally installed on campus so students, who did not have cell phones, could contact police in an emergency situation and receive a timely response. Now that having a cell phone is the norm, some argue the emergency phones have lost their purpose. Lee Bird, OSU vice president for student affairs, said most people on campus have a personal cell phone, so they basically have an emergency phone with them at all times. Bird said for the 16 years she has been at OSU, the emergency phones have made people feel safer but haven’t been used much. “I think it’s … technolMONDAY, MARCH 6, 2017

ogy that, for our particular campus, has probably outlived its usefulness,” Bird said. As campus growth has slowed at its present boundaries, so has the installation of emergency
phones. Shearer said the only emergency phones being installed this year are in the new Fourth Avenue Parking Garage. Shearer said OSU will continue to install emergency phones because
they serve as a last resort in an emergency situation. “You have to have a number of different options available to people in order to be able to give them a good, solid safety net,” Shearer said. “(If you) start removing some of these options that these individuals have, in essence you’re … cutting a hole in that net. And the more options you remove, the bigger the hole in that net becomes until finally, somebody falls through that net.” Shearer said the emergency phones are “oldschool” but they can be helpful in some cases. Although most people have mobile devices, their

cell phones could be out of battery, locked in a car, lost or broken, and they might struggle to find a signal in steel and concrete buildings, Shearer said. In 2016, 134 calls were made from emergency phones, according to OSUPD data. Shearer said only a handful of calls are for “real emergencies.” Most calls made from emergency phones tend to be students “horsing around” or kids who come to campus for events, he said. “(Kids) see that light up there and they see that huge, round red button, and they just can’t resist pushing that button,” Shearer said. Although the juveniles are forgiven, Shearer said adults who press the button and run off could be charged with misuse of a 911 system, a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500. Along with being “outdated,” he said some complain the emergency phones are an eyesore. Steve Dobbs, OSU grounds and landscape manager, oversees campus beautification. He said his crew’s job is to make sure the campus looks perfect when potential students come to visit. “Students can make up their minds … within the first 15 minutes they step foot on campus based on what the campus looks like,” Dobbs said. “(A beautiful campus) relays
a message that we take care of our campus and our grounds and facilities, and therefore it implies that we’re going to take care of our people.” Dobbs said he doesn’t dislike the emergency phones and understands they are intended to be noticeable in the event of an emergency. He said he wants the campus to look its best but safety is a priority. Katie Bell, a nutrition sophomore from Colorado, said when she visited OSU for the first time, she didn’t even notice the emergency phones. “It’s just a safety precaution, something that every campus feels the need to have,” Bell said. “I think they’re still useful because anything can happen. If I absolutely need it, … that’s my option.” Shearer said many students have similar opinions as Bell about the emergency phones: It makes them feel a little safer, regardless of having their cell phones. “Even though they’re outdated by technology, they’re still serving a purpose,” he said. “Are they utilized very much? No. But if it’s only used one time, and it saves a life, is it worth it? I think, for right now, they’re serving a purpose.” Kelsy Schlotthauer is a multimedia journalism sophomore from Edmond.

A MESSAGE FROM GOD! That awesome statement in Hebrews 1:2; “(God) has spoken to us by his Son...” is riveting and challenging. If we were told there was a message from the president of the United States waiting for us on our computer, or coming to us in the mail, what would we do? Maybe, put it on our list to consider in the next few days? I doubt it! Most certainly we would be checking it out immediately. It would be important to us! Jesus said this about his message. “For I did not speak on my own accord, but the Father (God) who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.” (Jn.12:49-50 NIV)

Jesus was very exact in sharing with us God’s message because it was so important. This Jesus was the one who fulfilled the many scriptures in the Old Testament. Signs and wonders that he performed while on earth were a demonstration and witness that God was with him. After his death on the cross for our sins, he was declared to be God’s Son by his literal resurrection from the dead.(Ro.1:4) We are told that “we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard”: “how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” “... it was at the first spoken through the Lord (Jesus), it was confirmed to us by those who heard, God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders and various miracles..,” (Heb.2:1,3-4 NASB) We truly need to listen and consider God’s message that was given for us all! God has spoken to us by his Son!

Smith wrestles way into NCAA Championships Luk e Garza Asst. Sports Editor @ Luk eAGar z a
TULSA — Joe Smith’s tumultuous sophomore season was in jeopardy as the Cowboys entered the Big 12 Wrestling Championship on Saturday in Tulsa. Smith was the lone wrestler in Oklahoma State’s starting lineup who hadn’t clinched a spot in the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship in St. Louis. Smith needed a top-3 finish in the Big 12 Wrestling Championship to keep his season alive.

Instead of placing third, Smith stormed through a trio of matches Saturday and Sunday, outscoring his opponents 32-0 on his
way to his second Big 12 title in as many years. The sweep officially punched his ticket to St. Louis, where the Cow-
boys will compete for their 35th national title. Smith’s season began with uncertainty. He dealt with a right knee injury for much of the year, which limited his availability to 12 matches. Smith won eight, but four of them were by three points or fewer. Defensively, Smith was perfect during the weekend. He didn’t allow any of his opponents to register a point. He was effective on offense, too. The 157-pounder won all of his matches with bonus points, two via a major decision and one tech

fall. Smith said getting through his knee injury was mentally tough, but changing his training regimen the past couple of weeks has paid off. “I’ve had to learn how to overcome that and train around some things,” Smith said. “It’s pretty much 100 percent now, and I can do the things I wanna do to wrestle my style.” Smith faced North Dakota State’s eighth-ranked Clay Ream in the championship round. Smith recorded a takedown and four-point near fall in the first period before getting another point with
an escape in the second. Smith received his eighth and final point with more than two minutes of riding time. John Smith, Joe’s father and coach, was pleased with his team’s performance throughout the weekend. “I saw some things that he did that I hadn’t seen all year, that I hadn’t seen in his career,” John Smith said. “He did a few things that kinda sat me back on my heels, and that’s what you like to see from student-athletes.” Along with his injury, Joe Smith attributed part

of his struggles to his opponents keying in on him more. He said it’s harder to succeed after performing well the previous year, but he also thinks his team has kept a winning mentality all season.
“We wanna be the best,” Joe Smith said. “It’s not over yet, and I think that’s why we keep that mentality because we haven’t won it yet. … I think it’s really just a motivator to let us know that we’re right there with the
rest of the country. And we’re ready to go get an NCAA championship.” Luke Garza is a sports media junior from Gig Harbor, Washington. He can be reached at luke. garza@okstate.edu.
Schafer earns first big 12 title De kota G reg ory Di gital Sport s E di to r @ dekotag reg o ry
TULSA — Oklahoma State wrestler Austin Schafer had only one chance to win a Big 12 title, but that’s all he needed. Schafer handled Utah Valley’s Dustin Dennison 9-0 Sunday in the 285-pound final of the Big 12 Wrestling Championship. He got to the finals thanks to an 11-0 major decision against Ben Tynan of North Dakota State. He pinned Air Forces’s Kerry Powers in 1:38 to start his first conference tournament. “It’s awesome winning a conference title and it being my last chance and opportunity to do it and my first all in the same,”
Schafer said. “It means a lot, and it makes it that much bigger of a deal getting it at heavyweight of all things. Who would have thought three years ago?” Three years ago, Schafer was redshirting as a 197-pounder. He was in and out of the lineup at the weight class since his first year on campus. He replaced an injured Blake Rosholt as a freshman. After a redshirt year, he started in six duals as a redshirt sophomore and finished at .500. He went 1-4 in duals last season and ultimately lost the starting job to eventual two-time Big 12 champion Preston Weigel. Schafer’s opportunity eventually came again but at heavyweight.
BOYCE SHEPHERD LAW
Four-year starter Austin Marsden graduated as a two-time All-American. With Marsden gone, 285 pounds was supposed to be the Cowboys’ hole in the lineup, a hole Schafer wasn’t supposed to be big enough to fill. “I know these guys are carrying around a little bit more weight,” Schafer said. “But I’m quicker. I’m in better shape, more agile. Even when that’s not the case, you tell yourself that, and it kind of carries me through the matches that I know I can keep going in the third when they’re dying.” Schafer filled OSU’s potential weak spot as a Big 12 champion. He accumulated a 21-1 record this season and was a perfect 10-0 in duals.
