Young Oklahoma voters falling short Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k Take a look at the stats, and you’ll see that Oklahoma has a tough time luring its young adults to the polls.

Oklahoma was reported as having the second lowest voter turnout rate for 18 to 29-year-olds at 27.1 percent, according to a 2012 U.S. Census report.

Oklahoma is categorized in the bottom five states for young voter turnout, accompanying Hawaii, Arkansas, Texas and West Virginia.

“It just might be the nature of politics in this state,” said Brandon Lenoir, OSU assistant professor of political science.

Both Lenoir and Erica Townsend, assistant professor of political science at OSU, make the case that because Oklahoma is a heavily Republican state, young voters who identify with other parties may be less likely to vote.

“(Young voters) feel like (the Republican) vote will be represented regardless of whether they vote or not, and if you are a democrat you feel like (your) vote is not going to be reflected,” Townsend said.

Lenoir also mentioned that students aren’t typically inclined to be involved in the democratic process unless they feel obligated or have a per-

sonal stake in the election.

“If you have a strong sense of civic duty, regardless of the cost associated with voting, you’re going to (go vote) because you, as an American, feel obligated,” Lenoir said. “(Voting) monetarily it isn’t too expensive, but it is time consuming,” Both Lenoir and Townsend said it might not be worth the time investment for students to

follow a campaign, wait in line at the polls or request an absentee ballot.

Townsend said that voting takes more effort on behalf of young adults attending college out of state because those students must request an absentee ballot.

She said students must stay in tune with the voting deadlines of the state in which they are registered, requiring a great

deal of commitment.

“You have to, a month ahead, decide that this is something you care enough about to request the ballot and fill it out and get it back in the mail,” she said.

Lenoir points out that young voters are hindering themselves by not casting a vote and therefore forgoing proper representation of their age bracket.

“The groups that vote

in high numbers are better represented,” he said.

“They get more of the political pie.”

Lenoir said the younger crowd might get overlooked because politicians don’t get a penalty for ignoring young voters who emerge in such low volumes.

“Young people want politicians to start paying attention to young people’s issues —if they voted in higher numbers that would happen,” he said.

Lenoir said there is no particular solution that will motivate young people more apt to vote.

“The problem is, there isn’t a one size fits all solution,” he said. “For some people, just talking about politics is enough to get them interested, exposing them to the news can help, taking a class can peak their interest…but for other people it takes more.

“I think that until someone wakes up the students, or younger generation, they’re going to continue to be low voter turnout.”

MATT SILVERSTEIN

Matt Silverstein’s platform EDUCATION Silverstein supports “sufficiently” funding education in Oklahoma. He wants to set clear, thorough national standards for core subjects and have state and local districts ensure students meet those standards.

He believes science, math, technology, engineering and the arts are vital to the success of the economy.

EQUALITY FOR WOMEN Silverstein’s website

describes him as an “adamant fighter” for women.

He strongly supports the Violence Against Women’s Act, equality for women in the military and women’s health issues.

VETERANS Silverstein says the most concerning issues for returning military are finding good jobs, decreasing the poverty rate, receiving VA claims promptly and obtaining medical care for both physical and mental

ailments. Silverstein condones reaching across the aisle and working together for veterans.

SPENDING Silverstein advocates taking “responsible steps” to deal with debt in Washington. He claims to be running to re-establish a secure federal fiscal foundation and make investments in areas like education and high-tech research in order to let the economy flourish.

Jim Inhofe’s platform EDUCATION Inhofe supports transferring “decision-making power” from the federal level to state and local levels. He says increasing state and local control and insisting on teacher and administrator accountability is not only good for Oklahoma, but also the nation.

VETERANS Inhofe prides himself in authoring legislation that enhances veterans and

active military education benefits as well as provisions to create Traumatic Injury Centers of Excellence, which addresses treatment, rehabilitation and dietary needs of injured service members.

SPENDING Inhofe says he is “fully committed” to a limited government. He says the practices of federal bailouts, stimulus and “unprecedented growth” of federal programs must

stop. Inhofe says he will always support lower taxes and “less government intrusion.”

HEALTH CARE According to his website, Inhofe fully supports repealing Obamacare and replacing it with “common-sense” medical reform like portable health insurance and medical malpractice reform. He says government bureaucrats have “no place” in medical decision-making.

Oklahoma legislature 101

By STETSON PAYNE AND

CATHERINE SWEENEY

WIKI COMMONS

The Oklahoma State Capitol is located along Lincoln Boulevard in Oklahoma City.

Like the federal legislature, Oklahoma’s is bicameral.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives has 100 members, and the Oklahoma State Senate has 50.

The House of Representatives conducts business identical to that of the U.S. House in Washington D.C., only legislating to a state level.

Budgets and appropriations of funds are handled by both houses in a similar fashion as the U.S. Congress, along with laws or bills that pertain

specifically to within Oklahoma.

The State Senate, located in the east wing of the capitol building, has fifty members with one from each Senate District. The Senate itself has several unique responsibilities in addition to being an equal house of government.

Senators are responsible for what is known as advice and consent, with the Governor’s appointees needing to be approved through standing committees in the senate.

Both legislators for Stillwater are uncontested this year.

State Sen. Jim Halligan, a former OSU president,

has been a member since 2008.

The Republican is on various committees, including education, energy and appropriations.

Oklahoma Rep. Corey Williams is a Stillwater native and OSU alumnus.

The Democrat was also elected in 2008.

Williams is the vice chair for the committee on tax credit and economic incentive oversight. He also serves on the Conference Committee on Higher Education and CareerTech and on the Conference Committee on the Judiciary. news@ocolly.com

We must do a better job and all of that goes back to education.”

•On health care: “...Why not look at Medicaid expansion? Why not look at those funds that would address 180,000 Oklahomans — many of them children — those ones working.”

On his website, Joe Dorman pointed out that Oklahoma is ranked No. 48 in the nation for teacher pay and No. 1 for education spending cuts. He claims to be the champion of public education and wants to increase Oklahoma’s funding for it.

ECONOMY Dorman argued that economic stability and prosperity require more than cutting the budget.

He has also expressed a strong distaste for corporate tax cuts, which he says harms the budget to give a break to those who don’t need it.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2014

Dorman said he has pushed to improve statefunded medicine instead of cutting it. He has also pushed telemedicine programs, online medical information systems, to provide essential health care service to Oklahoma’s rural communities. He plans to continue pushing for a stronger broadband infrastructure for those services.

Gov. Mary Fallin implemented the Reading Sufficiency Act, which requires third graders to demonstrate they can read at an appropriate level before advancing. She created the A-F grading system for schools’ performances. She repealed Common Core academic standards and now supports Oklahomabased standards that “ensure higher levels of rigor in

ECONOMY According to Fallin’s website, creating jobs is her No. 1 priority. Fallin aims to cut taxes and supports probusiness policies.

HEALTH CARE Fallin rejected the Medicaid expansion, which according to her website, was estimated to cost the state of Oklahoma $689 million between now and 2022. Fallin negotiated an extension of the state’s health insurance program, Insure Oklahoma, which was threatened with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

• On the Medicaid expansion: “... It would cost our state over a billion dollars, which would take away from education, corrections and other topics like that.”

• “One of the things I’ve advocated is that we continue to lower our income taxes in the state of Oklahoma ... I do believe (in) letting Oklahomans keep more of their hardearned money.”

Friends and family remember Jacob Crockett Kassie McClung @KassieMcClung

Jacob Crockett, 19, was killed in a homicide on Wednesday afternoon in Stillwater.

His death left his family and friends devastated, for the kind, ambitious and caring young man is no longer with them.

“People need to know that Jacob was just a good kid. He was working hard. He was trying to go somewhere in his life. He had a support system, a great family, good friends.

He was a genuine, sweet compassionate kid. He was going to go some-

where. He loved music, he loved his parents. There’s nothing really bad you can say about him.” — Darcie Wilson, who knew Jacob for eight years.

“I know a lot of stuff is going around about Jacob and (his brother) practicing witchcraft, but that’s not true. It’s completely and totally false.

“They were good kids.

They were in a metal band, but that doesn’t make them Satanists or devil worshipers or wiccans.” — Wilson “He had a really big heart. He always tried to help people if someone had been kicked out of their house or their life had been turned upside down. (His family) would

always open their house for people like that.

They always tried to help people.” — Will Pinckney, Jacob’s cousin “(We met) junior year of high school. It was back in the day I was deep into the heavy metal scene. My hair was long, and I was wearing a leather jacket and ripped jeans … At Stillwater High School, I was just going in between classes one day and the next thing I know I hear someone say, ‘Holy crap!

Look at his jacket! Look at his hair! He looks so cool!’ I look around and see these two twins ( Jacob and his brother) … We hit it off from there. It started as having little conversations in the hallway

at school, and then we decided to start a band. I was real close to Jacob.”

— Nokose Foley, who met Jacob in 2011.

“Everyone paints an image that he was a tough dude. But that’s not really the story at all. He was, in all reality, a real happy kid with a heart of gold, a big smile.

He was always ready; if you had any troubles going on, he would sit down and talk to you. He would hit it off with whoever would try to get to know him.” — Foley news@ocolly.com Look for the O’Colly’s story on Jacob Crockett next week.

Column: OSU’s season in danger after blowout Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

If last week was alarming, as Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said about his offense, this week is red alert.

After a 48-14 loss to No. 9 Kansas State on Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas, there is no room to sugarcoat the Cowboys’ situation.

OSU has lost three consecutive games in the same season for the first time since 2005 — Gundy’s first year as coach.

The Cowboys have failed to score 20 points in three straight games for the first time since 2001.

At quarterback, Daxx

Garman has thrown six interceptions and only one touchdown in his past three games. Once heralded for his strong arm, Garman is left exposed for his inexperience and poor decision-making.

On the offensive line, youth, injuries and general dysfunction are making the Cowboys as bad as they have been in the Gundy era.

At running back, OSU is loaded when Desmond Roland, Tyreek Hill and Rennie Childs are all healthy, but the stable of backs is useless when there are no gaps to run through and the play calls are only effective in leaving fans scratching their heads.

Defensively, Glenn Spencer’s unit can be formidable at times, but with Ashton

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2014

Lampkin (ankle) and Larry Stephens (Achilles) recovering from injuries, the young group just isn’t good enough.

And Big 12 offenses are catching on.

Sure, there is reason for optimism. The young team bodes well for the future.

The players will grow with experience. Blah blah blah.

That all makes sense, and it’s true.

But if this team is really focused on the now, on the next game, like Gundy and company preach, then it’s time to face the facts.

The Cowboys aren’t “average,” as Gundy likes to say.

They are playing below-average, downright bad football.

With a 5-4 record and Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma left on the schedule, they are

in serious danger of missing a bowl game. Regardless of what anyone in the program says, that’s a huge deal.

But the real problem isn’t that OSU is playing poorly.

Anyone who looked at the roster before the season without reading through orange lenses expected it to be a down year.

It’s that the Cowboys are playing even worse than expected. Worse than is really acceptable for the level of talent that’s in Stillwater.

Before the season, 8-4 or 7-5 seemed reasonable. Suddenly, going 5-7 and losing the last six games seems like a real possibility.

OSU has a bye this week before it hosts Texas on Nov. 15, and it might be the most important week of the

season.

Figure a few things out — how to use Hill, how to maximize Garman’s strengths, how to compensate for freshmen Ramon Richards and Tre Flowers playing significant roles in the secondary — and maybe

OSU can salvage the season.

But it’s a long shot.

Go ahead. Sound the alarms.

That’s where this team is at, and it’s not likely to change. sports@ocolly.com

Allie Stephenson and the Cowgirls turned their season around with a 5-2-1 run in Big 12 play.

OSU enters Big 12 tourney Dekota Gregory @dekotagregory

Oklahoma State will begin its run for a conference title Wednesday as the two-seed against Baylor when the Big 12 soccer tournament kicks off in Kansas City.

The Cowgirls defeated Baylor earlier in the season in Stillwater, 2-0.

The semifinals will bring more of a challenge for OSU, in the form of either three-seeded Kansas or sixth-seeded Oklahoma.

Kansas gave the Cowgirls their first of two conference losses this season, a 2-1 defeat in Lawrence. OSU slid by Oklahoma in its last meeting 2-1 in overtime at Cowgirl Soccer Complex.

However, the Sooners got the best of the Cowgirls in a nonconference season opener in Norman. Oklahoma State lost 2-0 to begin a six-game losing skid.

If Oklahoma State

can manage to squeak by Kansas or Oklahoma in the semis, then the defending runner-ups will most likely see regular season Big 12 champion, West Virginia.

The Mountaineers snatched the regular season conference title from the Cowgirls on Oct. 24 in Morgantown, West Virginia, after finishing the conference schedule without a blemish. West Virginia defeated OSU 2-1 to capture the hardware and No. 1 seed. The Lady Mountaineers also ended Oklahoma State’s tournament run last season in the finals, and could do the same this year.

If West Virginia falls in the Big 12 Tournament, it will be its first loss since Aug. 29 against Duke. TCU has been the only team to give the Lady Mountaineers trouble. The Horned Frogs held West Virginia scoreless in a 0-0 tie in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU will enter the tournament as the bottom seed and will play West Virginia in the first round.

Texas Tech and Texas will

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2014

round out the tournament as four and five seeds, respectively. The winner of the Lone Star matchup will likely have West Virginia in the semis.

Without a miracle, West Virginia will be hoisting its second straight Big 12 title Sunday afternoon and adding its eighth conference title in five seasons.

A run into the finals will almost guarantee Oklahoma State a spot in the NCAA Tournament, along with Kansas, Texas Tech and the Mountaineers. sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs.
