Student flown to hospital after vehicle, bike accident Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k An OSU student riding a bicycle was struck by a pickup truck on campus Friday morning.

Twenty-one year old Steuart Hensleigh, who was riding a blue Schwinn bicycle, was headed north

on Washington Street, veered left and proceeded into the intersection between two turning vehicles, according to an accident report.

Hensleigh reportedly had no brakes and collided with the right front corner of a 2012 Chevy Silverado driven by 20-year-old Connor Cline.

The report states Hensleigh was not wear-

ing a helmet.

Cline was traveling south on Washington and began turning left onto Hall of Fame Ave. when his vehicle was struck.

Cline was not injured.

Hensleigh was airlifted to the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City. He suffered injuries to his head, trunk, arms and legs. news@ocolly.com

Cobbins out 3 more games due to NCAA ruling Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz It looked like the Cowboys would be getting their center back right away, but they’ll have to wait three more games.

The NCAA ruled that redshirt senior Michael Cobbins would be ineligible for Oklahoma State’s exhibition against Missouri Western on Saturday, as well as the Cowboys’ first three regular season games, an OSU spokesman said.

The ruling is the result of Cobbins playing a total of five minutes in two games during his redshirt season in 2010-11.

He will have to sit two

games for every game he played in during the redshirt season. Cobbins also missed most of last season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.

“We put in some different waivers to not have to sit out any ‘cause he sat out 21 games last year,” OSU coach Travis Ford said. “To me, that should have sufficed.

For the student-athlete, if you’re all for the student athlete and what’s best for them, he did have to sit out 21 games last year.

“We petitioned to try to get him not to have sit out any. … We didn’t get that.”

Prior to the injury, Cobbins averaged 4.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 13 games, all starts.

Originally, the NCAA ruled that Cobbins would sit out the first four regular

season games.

But Ford looked at the situation of Wisconsin forward Duje Dukan. Dukan, like Cobbins, was originally ruled by the NCAA to sit out the Badgers’ first four games before a waiver permitted Dukan to count a scrimmage and exhibition toward his ineligibility. Ford was able to argue the same for Cobbins.

“Just (Friday) afternoon, in the middle of practice, I got the word back that yes, he could sit out the exhibition game,” Ford said. “Now, he will sit out this exhibition game and the first three games.”

Cobbins will be able to return to the court Nov. 21 when the Cowboys face Milwaukee in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Ford, aware of Cob-

bins’ eligibility issues, scheduled four games prior to the Cowboys’ trip to Las Vegas for the MGM Grand Main Event in order to guarantee Cobbins’ return when OSU faces Oregon State in Las Vegas on Nov. 24.

Ford was unsure of the reasoning behind Cobbins having to wait until his final year of eligibility before serving the four games.

In Saturday’s exhibition, senior Marek Soucek started in Cobbins’ place. Soucek picked up three fouls and failed to score, but grabbed four rebounds to go along with two blocks.

Transfer Anthony Allen, who’s 7-feet tall, played 20 minutes off the bench, but he also went without a basket and turned the ball over four times.

Ford said that while Cobbins is out, he’ll need better performances out of Soucek and Allen.

“The five spot, we’ve got to get more from,” he said. “I was not happy with the five spot at all. They’ve got to get a score. … We’ll spend an enormous amount of time this week trying to get those even more ready than even today.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs.

Youth director Alton Carter is the boy behind the bricks Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

Foster children succumbed to the cruel and unusual punishment of carrying stacks of heavy bricks for several hours in their frail arms, wondering what they had done wrong to deserve such unjust treatment.

This, along with many other forms of abuse and neglect, made up the unimaginably adverse childhood of Alton Carter, an Oklahoma State alumnus and the current youth director at First United Methodist Church of Stillwater.

At a young 8 years old, Carter entered the foster care program. He was placed into multiple foster homes throughout Oklahoma until settling in an abusive ranch in Perkins. Here, his brickfilled fate awaited him.

“A lot of my foster parents should not have been foster parents,” Carter said.

His childhood included violence, unpaid bills, malnourishment and fear instilled by his abusive guardian at the ranch.

“We just were not being taken care of,” Carter said.

Rather than letting his dark memories drag him down, Carter has used them for inspiration setting out to make a difference for today’s youth.

“I have always had a passion for this because of my childhood,” Carter said. “It

is hard to make an impact if you do not believe in yourself.”

EMPOWERED THROUGH EDUCATION Carter became the first person in his family to graduate high school, he said. No one had even finished 9th grade before him.

He graduated from Cushing High School with no intentions of attending college, but he soon received his bachelor’s degree in sociology. Carter said Martha McMillian, a former OSU staff member, kindly enrolled him without his permission.

“I had tons of helpful people in my life, from a 4th grade teacher who brought me groceries to a woman who enrolled me in school because she wanted me to go so badly,” Carter said.

“I just knew at some capacity I wanted to finish school and find a way to make a difference in young kids’ lives — rich, poor, neglected, black or white.”

IMPACTING TODAY’S YOUTH Carter used his degree and passion for helping kids to become a youth director, working on almost eight years at FUMC, where he leads 6th-12th grade students.

“I do not like the word ‘job,’” Carter said. “It is literally a lifestyle.”

He embodies the lifestyle of a youth director, said Mike Chaffin, senior pastor

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2014

at FUMC. Carter has a warmth of spirit and enthusiasm for life, which draws people to him.

“Because of his life experience, he is able to empathize with youth who are going through the trials and challenges of adolescence,” Chaffin said.

Carter and assistant youth director Janelda Lane lead a service-oriented youth group that operates under the slogan “Gaining momentum to change the world.”

Carter said about 90 kids participate in their youth group. But he stressed its success is not based on numbers.

The youth has done a variety of missionary work, including going to Mexico to help build a church, helping host a fundraising rodeo and organizing an annual fundraising dinner for Special Olympics.

A few weeks ago, the group showed up to a local low-income apartment complex with chili cheese dogs to feed the families and stayed for hours to play with the other children.

One of the youth’s favorite activities is when they are separated into groups, placed in vans and given a mystery assignment to show random acts of kindness. Sometimes they put $25 in an envelope and are assigned to use this money to give back to the community in some way.

Carter said they do this activity about twice a year.

Carter’s inspirational assignments have led them

to bring ice cream to the fire station in support of those who risk their lives everyday, pay for people’s car washes in line to pay it forward and bringing supplies to a homeless shelter to help those in need.

“It is his calling to work with kids,” Lane said. “He is a leader at our church, but more than that, he is a leader in the community.”

Lane said they receive positive feedback from parents and church members all the time about Carter’s impact, making it obvious that his mission to make a difference for kids has grown

O’COLLY

beyond just an idea and become a blatant reality.

A FAMILY MAN Carter says people often ask him what motivates him to move beyond his dark past and make a difference in the world. His response remains the same.

“To be a good father,” Carter said, beaming with pride for his family.

He said his mom had five children by four different men, but he acknowledges that there is a blank space on his birth certificate where a father’s name should be written. This drove him to

embody the father role that was so absent in his own life.

Carter enjoys fishing with his two sons — Kelton, 16 and Colin, 14 — more than anything. He has a loving wife, Kristin, whom he met at OSU. “I make tons of mistakes, and in this day and age, kids do not want to see perfect people; they want genuine people,” Carter said. “They see me broken sometimes when life is not great.”

Carter says his children have seen him cry and undergo trying times even as an See CARTER Page 11 PAGE 4

Competitive bass fishing is more than a hobby Stetson Payne @OColly

COURTESY OF ALEX BOURGEOIS

Cody Brodwater fishes for bass at Lake Tenkiller. His goes with his partner, Alex Bourgeois.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2014

Safe light; those two words mean different things for different people.

But to a tournament bass fisherman, it means the green light to throw the boat in gear and speed off to the first fishing spot. Often just before the official sunrise, the cold and foggy mornings are only the beginning of the stress and workload that accompany a long day of fishing.

Fishing from a 20-footlong Champion bass boat, freshmen Oklahoma State Bass Fishing Team members Alex Bourgeois and Cody Brodwater launch out, wide open throttle, roaring across the waves of the lake.

Both of them are layered up and wearing gear to keep them warm during the cold run.

The two make up one of several fishing teams for Oklahoma State. They fish from the same boat and are responsible for all of their own equipment.

From the boat down to the lures they use to catch the fish, nothing comes easy — or free.

They’re also full-time students. It involves a lot of traveling and logistics, not to mention some serious resources to get there.

There are three key things that make it most difficult for full-time students.

“Time, driving around and the gas money,” Bourgeois said.

O’COLLY

Weekends are completely scheduled, with tournaments on Sundays with Friday and Saturday available to practice, or pre-fish. Ideally, the team likes to be able to get seat time in the boat out on the water prior to the competition.

Familiarization is key, with navigation, recognizing patterns in the fishing bite and plenty of other variables that can’t be accounted for back in Stillwater.

Most events during the fall season are in Oklahoma, such as Keystone Lake, Lake Eufala, and Lake Tenkiller, where the team hosted the Nov. 9 tournament. During the spring, however, the team travels to nationallyknown bass fishing bastions like Lake Dardanelle in Arkansas and Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas.

A lot of time not spent in the boat fishing is almost always spent hauling the boat to the lake.

Plus, because you can’t exactly keep a bass boat in the Wentz Lane Garage, each weekend trip starts with Bourgeois and Brodwater driving to Claremore, where they keep the fishing gear and boat.

Despite the sheer logistical difficulty behind the competition, that is not what the team says is the most difficult part of collegiate fishing.

“At the end of the day, when you don’t have any fish in the livewell, that’s when the pressure starts to get up,” Bourgeois said.

In football or basket-

ball, you know you will get a chance to get the ball — or at least make a play to change the game — all the way to the last seconds. With fishing, you are entirely dependent on the bite, and you’re dependent upon getting the fish into the boat. If the fish don’t bite, there’s not much you can do as a competitor to fix that other than try to find the next best option with lures.

Brodwater and Bourgeois are also different in their approach. Some teams use technology and maps extensively to plan their day of fishing; this team relies solely on spots it knows and what it hears.

“Usually we get insight from friends and people we know beforehand,” Brodwater said.

The environment on the boat can be intense, under so much pressure to perform and control things beyond your reach.

When someone makes a mistake, be it a rookie error or simply a bad judgment call that results in losing a fish, the other team member knows how to handle it.

“If one of us misses a fish, you know usually not to bag on them when they miss it,” Brodwater said.

Although Bourgeois and Brodwater enjoy the sport, the work, money and stress that come with being part of OSU’s bass fishing team make one thing clear: This is not just a hobby. news@ocolly.com PAGE 5

BEHIND THE MUSIC: Arts major spends 13 hours a day in Seretean Center

AMANDA TAYLOR/O’COLLY

Corrine Bean spends about 13 hours a day in the Seretean Center for Performing Arts.

Amanda Taylor @amandajmtaylor

Being a music major at Oklahoma State is not an

easy endeavor.

Most music majors spend between 70 and 80 hours a week in the Seretean Center for Performing Arts. Sometimes they are there for 12 or more hours a day. Obviously,

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2014

that time is not spent only in class.

Corrine Bean, a senior instrumental music education major with an emphasis in cello, routinely spends about 13 hours a day in the Seretean.

“I actually spend more time at the Seretean than at my apartment,” Bean said.

This time is divided among practicing, classes and studying for nonmusic classes.

Bean said she gets to the Seretean at 6 a.m. and doesn’t leave until 8:30 or 9 p.m.

“I have to get there early to warm-up,” Bean said. “And we have to practice more than our primary instrument, too.”

Instrumental music education majors have to take seven hours of other instrumental lessons.

For Bean, this means she has had to take classes that cover brass instruments such as trumpet, trombone and French Horn.

She also takes classes in woodwind instruments, like bassoon, oboe and clarinet.

“I’m also going to take string methods,” Bean said. “It’s beneficial for string players to take because we learn techniques for the other instruments.

So I’d learn violin, viola and bass.”

The major requires her to take a vocal class, too.

This semester she is a part of the University Singers, one of the main choirs on campus.

“I was really hesitant about being in choir because I don’t have a strong voice,” Bean said. “But now I wish I had been participating longer. I really love being one of Dr.

O’COLLY

(Christopher) Haygood’s students.”

Bean said Haygood reminds her of why she wanted to be a teacher in the first place.

He is a passionate choir director and an inspiration to her in the world of teaching at the professional level.

All of this is on top of their non-music classes they have to study for.

Their general education requirements match all other general education requirements for students in the College of Arts and Sciences.

“Getting to senior year, you learn how to deal with being busy,” Bean said. “Everyone is in the same boat. This semester I just feel a bit more thinly spread.”

It can be overwhelming for students to spend so much time practicing their instrument, studying for classes and attending classes on top of that. However, the music professors are very understanding and sensitive to the students’ schedules.

“Dr. (Meredith) Blecha is very good at teaching to an individual student,” Bean said. “What I really love about her is she is very approachable if I am feeling overwhelmed.

She’s very understanding and tries to help in the best way possible.”

Blecha is the associate professor of cello and Bean’s primary instructor.

Bean also participates in many ensembles at Okla-

homa State.

She is the leader of Corrine and the Bachstreet Boys, a small string quintet.

They recently played at Hideaway for the Halloween at Hideaway programs.

Corrine is enrolled in the Honors College.

Her honors thesis will be her senior recital, where she will play three highcaliber cello pieces and an original composition by herself.

“I plan on being a film composer like my man Brian Tyler,” Bean said.

“He composes a lot for the Marvel movies.”

Igor Karaca offers private lessons in composition, and Bean has taken advantage of them since her junior year.

Composing for her senior recital is something Bean is excited for; she has been working on the piece since the beginning of the year.

If she doesn’t end up composing, she plans on teaching and working her way up through the conducting world.

Currently, Bean is rehearsing for a concert with the University Singers, the operatic concert Messiah and preparing for an opera next semester in February.

“Despite all the long rehearsals and all the music I’ve had to learn, I will always love music and the Cowboys,” she said. news@ocolly.com PAGE 6

Career Week to offer development opportunities Amanda Taylor @amandajmtaylor

If you’re looking for motivation to jumpstart your career, you’re in the right place.

Career Week kicks off Monday at Oklahoma State University. During the week, Career Services will provide opportunities to students by offering events and workshops that will help enhance students’ professional careers.

Starting Monday, there will be 12 programs that showcase some of what the office of Career Services offers to OSU students.

The career consultants from every college teamed

up to create a selection of events that will speak to all students, regardless of their major.

“They really wanted to do something for the students,” said Lindsay Vallaster, assistant director of OSU Career Services. “It’s actually National Career Development Month, and this year, we decided to celebrate.”

Some highlights include a workshop for past and current athletes that will teach about how to use athletic experience in a future professional career and a workshop for women on how to look at your wardrobe and use what is available to dress like a professional.

“These are topics career consultants talk about all the time,” Vallaster said. “This is an opportunity to shed

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2014

light on the kind of diverse resources to help students.”

Corey Ciocchetti, the keynote speaker, will be presenting at 6 p.m on Wednesday. Ciocchetti is a professor of Business Ethics and Legal Studies at the University of Denver, which is rated in the top 10 universities for producing students with high ethical standards.

“Inspire Integrity: Chasing an Authentic Life” is a presentation that speaks to the theme of the week.

Ciocchetti is a seasoned motivational speaker and will bring that essence to the student body.

Career Services hopes that the keynote speech will challenge students to look at their priorities and make sure that they align with things that will bring them

a sense of happiness.

“We want students to find their niche,” Vallaster said.

In addition to the amazing opportunities it is providing, Career Services is giving an incentive to come to the events. Prizes will be offered at all of them.

The Cintas Corp. has donated two suits that will be given away at the keynote event Wednesday, one for a boy and one for a girl.

Career Services offers this sort of advice all through the year. The subject matter is not exclusive to this week, and it encourages students to approach the career consultants with questions anytime.

“These are topics the consultants speak on all the time,” Vallaster said. “This week is really an opportu-

nity to shed light on our office and show the diversity of resources available to students.”

Students often overlook the fact that Career Services offers free thank you cards and resume paper. It also offers a professional portfolio for only $5.

Tours of the Career Services office will be on Friday for students who want more information.

Cowgirls dominate boards in exhibition win Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim Oklahoma State’s exhibition against ArkansasMonticello began with two free throws for Liz Donohoe that came before tipoff.

The Blossoms didn’t turn in their starting roster on time, which led to the pretip technical foul. Given the mismatch with the Cowgirls in the post, they might as well have kept giving OSU free shots.

Freshman Kaylee Jensen put up a double-double and led OSU in a dominant performance on the boards in an 87-53 win against the Blossoms on Sunday

afternoon in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Jensen scored 20 points in 18 minutes, grabbed 10 rebounds and stole the ball four times.

“She did a great job posting up, getting on the offensive boards and getting on the defensive boards,” OSU coach Jim Littell said. “It remains to be seen; she’s been playing against 6-foot, 6-1 post players and it’s going to be different challenges when the Big 12 rolls around.

“But I just gotta believe with her work ethic and the way she allows you to coach her each day, she’s going to continue to get better.”

The Cowgirls scored 54 points in the paint, and

their performance on the offensive boards almost matched that of ArkansasMonticello’s overall. OSU pulled down 20 rebounds after missing shots, and the Blossoms had 26 total.

Littell said the depth of Jensen, senior LaShawn Jones and freshman Mandy Coleman already has the team stronger in the frontcourt than it’s been in years. Once Katelyn Loecker returns from a torn labrum in her right shoulder, it might be the best he’s had.

“I think we’re deeper, and won’t have to play people major minutes like we have in the past,” Littell said.

“It’s a nice luxury to throw Kaylee Jensen in there and her do well. Maybe some of

our others will take notice.

“There’s a little competition for playing time, there’s a lot of competition (overall), and you need to come and bring your best game any time out.”

The Cowgirls had 19 assists and stole the ball 21 times on 28 turnovers from the Blossoms. The ball movement was especially impressive to sophomore point guard Roshunda Johnson, who finished with five steals and three assists to go with 14 points.

“We practice on it every day, and coach is constantly saying ‘Ball movement!

Ball movement!’” Johnson said. “We just started working on it better and better, and it shows out there.

“I would say it’s a real

big focus. It’s not the topic of the focus, but it’s a good focus.”

Junior guard Brittney Martin said that ball

movement only helps the team’s versatility, a big advantage it has this season.

“For our ball movement, it is different because our entire team can score,” Martin said. “I think the ball movement is going to be a big point all year because we’re better than we were last year.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs.

Carter: youth director strives to make a difference in stillwater community.

From Page 4 adult, but he prefers it that way in an effort to stay true to himself rather than hiding behind a positive facade when times are tough.

“They still want to be like me,” Carter said. “I am so proud of them.”

TELLING HIS STORY Looking at this tall African-American with a 6-foot plus-stature and muscular physique, it is clear that Carter is no longer the tortured little boy who bounced from foster home to foster home

and faced challenge after challenge.

Carter will share the story of his childhood and the mentality that helped him overcome it in his upcoming novel appropriately titled “The Boy Who Carried Bricks.” Carter will hold his first book signing on Dec. 7 at FUMC. He started writing this timeline of his life less than a year ago, as he wanted to wait until his mom passed away for personal reasons.

Lane conveniently illustrated the book’s cover, and it portrays a cartoon version of young Alton carrying bricks with a dark, overcast sky hanging over the ranch. The sky, no doubt, represents the darkness of his unbearable time there.

When he was a child, Carter said he tried to do a

lot of things himself rather than ask for help. He now realizes there are people out there willing to help, and he encourages youth in bad situations to reach out to these people.

“Life is so much bigger than what we see,” Carter said.

He said the novel is not meant to gain pity or compare it to adversity others have faced, but instead to tell his life story the way he remembers it and give inspiration to youth who may be in a similar situation.

“There are kids still hungry, still abused with so many problems and we just need people to help,” Carter said. “This book is aimed at bringing light on the idea that there are still kids out there like me.” news@ocolly.com
