Stillwater woman pleads guilty, sentenced to 10 years in prison Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k
A Stillwater woman pleaded guilty Friday to accessory to first-degree arson and was sentenced to 10 years in a correctional facility. Rachel Marie Willis, 37, appeared from Payne County Jail before Payne County court with her state-appointed attorney, Virginia Banks. Willis admitted to having knowledge that a felonious crime was committed by her dead husband, Ralph Willis, who was shot and killed by Stillwater police Jan. 29. Firefighters responded to a structure fire at 115 W. Scott St., near Hall of Fame Book Trader, the morning of Jan. 29 and found William C. Marg, 64, dead with multiple stab wounds in his apartment, according to the affidavit. Rachel told investigators she confided in Marg, her neighbor, after an altercation with Ralph Jan. 27. Rachel told Marg the she was “tired of being abused by Ralph,” the affidavit states. Rachel
said Marg called a preacher who then showed up at Marg’s home and picked her up. During the drive, Rachel “decided she did not want to leave Ralph” and asked to be taken home, according to the document. While she was gone, Ralph got into an altercation with Marg. He later told Rachel that he had killed Marg, the affidavit states. Rachel told investigators that Ralph talked about ways to dispose of Marg’s body and mentioned dumping the body, the document states. The morning of the fire, the couple was seen carrying three duffle bags, which they placed into a shopping cart and pushed to a friend’s home, according to the document. Officers recovered the luggage and found a Coleman camping fuel can containing a small amount of fuel and an empty lighter fluid bottle among clothes, towels and family pictures in picture frames, the document states. Investigators determined that two fires were intentionally set in the Willis’

kitchen, according to the document. Later on the day of the fire, police tracked down the couple and Ralph was subsequently shot and killed by Stillwater police officer Cody Manuel after a foot pursuit. Rachel was arrested by SPD because of outstanding warrants in Nowata County. On Feb. 9, Willis was charged with two counts of
accessory to a felony, including first-degree murder and first-degree arson. Friday morning, attorneys for the state, Kevin Etherington and Debra Vincent, asked the court to dismiss the first-degree murder charge after consulting with Marg’s family. In a victim’s impact statement, one of Marg’s family members, Hannah Delaney, expressed how the crime has

affected her personally. “At this point I do find myself more caught up in mortality,” she wrote. “I am more sensitive to crime shows and certain normal ‘sayings.’ I am more wary of being alone, or meeting strangers in non-public places.” She also represented her family’s views on Willis’s potential sentencing. “We as his children would
like to see her punished for what she did do, but not stiffly enough to WILLIS not consider that she was a possible domestic violence victim as well,” she said. Next-door neighbor and Oklahoma State health prevention sophomore Carson Tate described Marg as friendly. “He was real nice, a really nice guy,” he said. “He always offered us food (from his garden). It was really sad to find out what happened.” Associate District Judge Stephen R. Kistler dismissed the first-degree murder charge. He proceeded to sentence Willis for firstdegree arson, a crime that carries a maximum of 17 1/2 years in prison and/or a fine of $12,500. Kistler ordered Willis to serve 10 years in a correctional facility, receive “intensive” substance abuse treatment and pay court costs. news@ocolly.com

New SGA President Hilbert done with elections, ready for the fall Stetson Payne @Stetson__Payne
Student Government Association President Kyle Hilbert is done with Supreme Court hearings and the politics of election seasons. Now, he’s ready to take on SGA’s agenda for next fall. Hilbert and his running mate Taylor Dennis won the April 15 runoff election with 58 percent of the vote, defeating the pair of Mason Taylor and David Hidinger. This year’s election cycle was embroiled in contro-

versy after Chance Imhoff and Jacquelyn Lane were punished for violating election rules hours before polls opened, resulting in the pair’s disqualification two days later. Hilbert said he’s more relaxed now elections are over, but the contest did change him for the better. “Throughout the election process, I learned a lot about myself,” Hilbert said. “There’s a lot on my plate, a lot on Taylor’s plate, and we learned what our limitations are. “As far as the positive things, you learn so much about all your friends. And it’s just really cool how many people it takes
to pull off a campaign. There were over 100 people who contributed to it.” Legislation for the long-awaited SafeRide program at Oklahoma State is expected to finally see the senate this fall. Hilbert said though he can’t take credit for it, he hopes to see the final product this fall. “That’s been talked about for three, four years,” Hilbert said. “Next year, it looks like, will finally be the year where it comes to fruition and see if it’s going to happen or if it’s not going to happen. I think next year’s going to be the year for that.”
Election controversies this April fueled debate on SGA’s Title IX bylaws dealing with election rules, specifically its “Zero Tolerance Policy” for violations. The Zero Tolerance Policy requires disqualification for violating a select set of guidelines for elections, including restrictions on campaigning. Title IX reform is a regular occurrence in SGA, and next fall will likely be no different with an expected overhaul of violation policies. Hilbert said Title IX reform is difficult and he understands both sides of

the argument. “It’s really difficult because you know, you give people too much leeway
and no rules and then people can do whatever they want,” Hilbert said.
See HILBERT Page 4

Hilbert: New SGA president looks to put controversial election behind him.
From Page 3 “And then you give too many rules then people get disqualified for technicalities and things like that. “Where do you find the balance of what’s good and what isn’t? It’s going to be a challenge, we’re going to try our best; the senators are going to try their best to make it good.” The senate approved Hilbert’s executive staff at the final SGA meeting this semester, among them former presidential candidate Mason Taylor, who will serve as Hilbert’s chief of staff.
MONDAY, MAY 4, 2015
Hilbert said he was excited to see Taylor’s name among the applications for staff positions and that the two formed a close friendship throughout the campaign. “We’d be at the same meetings, and we’d be sitting by each other before, during and after the meetings,” Hilbert said. “We just developed a really good relationship. With that we realized you know that either way, whichever one of us won, we were going to be working in SGA and going to be working together. “He’s just an incredible guy, and I’m looking forward to working with him.” Before filing for candidacy in January, Hilbert said he reached out to
SGA Senate Vice Chair Allison Slagel about running for president. Slagel previously ran for SGA president in 2014 0 but lost to outgoing President Matt Chuning. “One of the things she told me, and this was something that was encouraging to me throughout the whole process, was that even if she knew last year she would lose, she would go back and do it all over again the same way,” Hilbert said. “She’s so thankful for the friendships and the things she learned, she would do it all over again, and that was encouraging for me that this is worth it either way.” news@ocolly.com

Green means Go: Versatile senior pacing Cowboys Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz
Gage Green chose to play at Oklahoma State because of its history of players like him. There have been other Cowboys to catch and play outfield, including Cowboy Baseball Hall of Famer Mickey Tettleton. Several have moved up and down the lineup. But what really stood out to Gage was the Cowboys’ grit and toughness, the same he displays every time he steps onto the field. “When I came here (on my visit), I just got the sense that the players were a tough, gritty bunch,” Gage said. “I liked the atmosphere of it. … When I thought of Oklahoma State and what it kind of represented, I always got that sense of a bunch of tough, gritty individuals, and I really liked that about it.” The hominess and history meant a lot to Gage, too. He’d grown up hearing his father, Scot, talk about players like Tettleton, Robin Ventura and Pete Incaviglia. Wherever he played, Gage wanted to stay close to his hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas. He essentially narrowed his choices between OSU and Oklahoma. After he stopped in Stillwater, he canceled his other visits. “He had gone to OSU, and I think he’d been in MONDAY, MAY 4, 2015

love with it right from the get-go,” Scot said. “… He liked both programs, but I think he loved the home feel of Oklahoma State. That really grew on him. He loved the tradition of the place, too.” Gage also drew interest from Vanderbilt, where an assistant coach named Josh Holliday was recruiting him. “I knew he was just that tough kid, that winningtype kid,” Holliday said. “… You knew he would make his mark and get on the field. I just remember that when he called and told me that he was going to Oklahoma State, he was excited about it, and I said, ‘Hey, it’s a great place, and I know that from experience. Good luck to you.’
“Paths ended up crossing there a couple of years later.” When Holliday became the coach at OSU in the summer of 2012, he and Green spoke over the phone again. Green had just completed his freshman season as a Cowboy. He played in just 31 games, hitting .237. Holliday called to let him know the Cowboys wanted him back. “That was definitely a relief when I heard that news, and I was able to just enjoy myself for the rest of the summer,” Gage said. “I was excited to get back here. Honestly, this coaching staff is probably the best thing that’s happened for me since I’ve been here.” See GREEN Page 6

Green: Green gives Cowboys versatilty and a winning atttiude.
From Page 5 Indeed, it’s proven to be. Gage is hitting .298 over the past three seasons. This season, he’s hit a career-high five home runs and is on pace for career-highs in slugging and on-base percentage. He’s leading the Cowboys in steals for the third straight season. He was the catcher on the All-Big 12 First Team a year ago and could very well be on his way to first team recognition again. Still, Scot said the accolades mean little to Gage. He’s always wanted the ball,
but never the spotlight. It started when he was at Jefferson Elementary School in Wichita Falls, serving as a ball boy for the Rider High School football team. The coach would pick Gage up at school, and his classmates would see that he was a part of the team. “Boy, Gage just frowned at that,” Scot said. “He didn’t want any notoriety with that. “He’s always been that way.” The same is true in 2015 as Gage nears the end of his senior year. But along the way, he’s kept his head down, remained focused and been nothing more than a “team guy.” “That’s what Gage is all about,” Scot said. “As a kid, he never wanted any notoriety. He might have been a ball boy or everything else, but he sure wouldn’t speak
ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER! “Let us not give up meeting to “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another –and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Heb.10:25 NIV) We can have good or bad habits in our lives. In instant communication, fast moving world we live in, it is easy to set aside stable, important habits of life to keep up with all the action (new and exciting things) that are constantly wooing us. Sometimes it is the difficulties and pressures of life that so weigh us down, we lose heart in the value of meeting together with other followers of Christ. The apostle tells not to fall into that trap. We all need encouragement. The problems and busyness of life tend to drain away the desire, strength and zeal for a committed life to Christ. The real church is called the “body of Christ.” It is a many ld.

on the bus. He didn’t really want the notoriety.” Through consistency and versatility, Gage has become arguably the most vital ingredient in the Cowboys’ winning formula. “A lot of people feed off of Gage,” second baseman Tim Arakawa said. “Even when he’s not going well, just the positive energy that he brings, people feed off of it. If there’s no Gage Green, we’d have a lot of missing pieces. “We wouldn’t be very good, I can promise you that.” On Sunday, Gage started his 100th straight game for OSU. During the streak, he’s started 48 games at catcher, 32 in left field, 19 in center field and one in right field. His versatility isn’t only on display on the field; it shows

So many times I have been encouraged (strengthened) when I was with other members of the church. At times it comes as others share scriptures that have become real to them. Other times it is through the testimony of someone who was helped in a special way, and the Lord had made himself so real to that individual. God can work in so many unusual ways.

Orange Pride feeling effects of S.I. series 1 1/2 years later Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen
Berkley Hopkins, Dovie McClellan and Bailey Brown shared the same way of finding out that their second family could no longer exist. The three members of Orange Pride — Oklahoma State’s football hostess program — had their phones blowing up with texts April 24 after the NCAA announced that Orange Pride would be disbanded for the next four years as part of its sanctions on the OSU football program. “My phone was going crazy,” said Brown, a child life development junior.
“Everyone was sending me the link and I was like, ‘What are you guys talking about?’ Everyone was asking me questions, and I was like, ‘I don’t even know what’s going on.’” In the past 1 1/2 years since Sports Illustrated released its five-part investigative series on OSU football, the mood around the Orange Pride program hasn’t quite been the same. Part Four of the series, titled, “The Sex,” detailed how Orange Pride was used as an elicit way of drawing recruits to OSU in the early 2000s. The NCAA’s sanctions, however, had nothing to do with these allegations. Instead, investigators called most of the claims in the SI series “unfounded,” and the only
punishable issue regarding Orange Pride came through the group being run through the football program rather than the OSU admissions office. Now Hopkins, McClellan, Brown and others are left without the group they came to love. And more importantly, they are trying to defend the perception of a program that remains widely misunderstood. SETTING IT STRAIGHT Hopkins, a business graduate student, remembers the days after the Sports Illustrated series, when people from other schools were texting her, asking if she and other Orange Pride members were sleeping with
football players or recruits. Even in the past few days, Hopkins said she knows of Orange Pride members being called sluts to their faces. Sharla Curtis, OSU’s football recruiting assistant and Orange Pride adviser since 2008, said she’s heard stories of professors giving mean looks or making sly comments to some members. Before Sports Illustrated, Orange Pride’s perception was matter-of-fact. It was a group of pretty girls who knew a lot of football players. Some people might have interpreted that differently than others, but Curtis said the group’s reputation was never an issue since she took over Orange Pride. After SI, things were different.
