Homecoming will display the OSU ‘experience,’ bring families together together the generations of OSU alumni and bring back memories Harvest Carnival, said Blayne Horn, executive and agriculture economics major.

Homecomings are where Horn’s OSU experience began.

“Attending homecomings with my family were my first times on campus and one of the reasons I am now a student at OSU,” Horn said. “I’ve only missed two homecomings in my 22 years.”

More than a hundred years ago, homecoming featured only a harvest carnival. But it has evolved into a weeklong celebration for the whole community.

“There are a million traditions that make up homecoming,” university concierge Matt Fletcher said. “The most important ones are the dying of the fountain, the signs on Library Lawn, Harvest Carnival, street painting on Hester, walkaround, Homecoming & Hoops and the game. So … everything.

You have to do it all, it’s like

Once a year, a sea of orange splashes across Oklahoma State University for homecoming, bringing an estimated 80,000 OSU supporters to Stillwater.

Soaked in tradition, OSU Homecoming has been named “America’s Greatest Homecoming.” This year’s theme — “The Experience” — allows students and alumni alike to share what makes OSU and homecoming so special.

“This year’s title is perfect because homecoming is an experience on many levels,” said Lea Henricks, who graduated from OSU in 1989. “It’s a different experience for everyone, but put them all together and they make up the OSU experience.”

The Homecoming Executive team took more than three hours to decide on the theme. Members wanted something that would tie

COLLEGE SKI & BOARD WEEK

a homecoming checklist.”

House decs, one of the most popular homecoming traditions, are at the top of many people’s lists.

Paired Greek houses create 18-foot by 80-foot decs. Each member spends about 10 hours a week on construction.

“Walkaround is hands down the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,” Horn said. “The streets are blocked off and 80,000 people are walking around looking at the decs that have been worked on since September.”

Friday’s Walkaround makes for a huge reunion; you never know who you’re going to bump into.

“When my husband and I graduated, there was no Facebook,” Henricks said.

“When we left, we were disconnected. Homecoming is a place to connect and reminisce.”

There are many activities that make up homecoming, but recalling memories and reconnecting with old friends is the most special one.

“Traditions are meant to

bring back memories and nostalgia,” said Mackenzie Kulig, a member of Zeta Tau Alpha. “So when I come back for homecoming as an alumna, I’ll have many of the same memories like pomping, of walkaround, of tailgating, of the game, as the students then.”

Made up of years of traditions, and thousands of experiences, OSU Homecoming stands out from other homecomings because of the people who bring it to life.

With around 5,000 students graduating a year and becoming OSU alumni, homecoming continues getting bigger.

“It’s such a fun chance to get the whole Cowboy family back together again,” Fletcher said.

“Homecoming is one big family reunion. Everyone has a unique experience when they are at OSU, and homecoming is a place to showcase those remembered unique moments.”

2 OSU football players arrested on public intoxication complaint Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

Oklahoma State football players Jhajuan Seales and Juwan Offray were arrested after 4 a.m. Sunday morning in a Whataburger drive-thru lane.

Tulsa World was the first to report the story.

Stillwater police were dispatched to the Whataburger at 4:16 a.m. in response to an intoxicated person passed out in a gray 2014 Ford Focus with Nebraska tags, according to the arrest report.

Police found Seales, a 20-year-old wide receiver from Port Arthur, Texas, in the driver seat and Offray, an 18-year-old cornerback from New Orleans, in the passenger seat.

Both were asleep in the car, according to the report.

Police woke up Seales and Offray by knocking on the car windows, and the reporting officer noticed both men seemed “very lethargic and confused” with red, watery eyes, according to the report.

Seales fumbled with his car keys “for about a minute or so” and Offray had to physically help Seales turn off the ignition, according to the report.

After Seales opened the car door, police noticed a strong odor associated with alcohol coming from inside the car, the police report states.

Police records indicate Seales exited the car and was unsteady on his feet.

Seales admitted to drinking and was placed under arrest for suspicion of public intoxication at 4:23 a.m., according to the police report.

After placing Seales under arrest, the reporting officer moved the car from the drive-thru lane and

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2014

parking it in the southeast parking lot of Whataburger before securing it, the report shows.

Police said Seales fully complied with the arrest Offray initially stepped out of the passenger seat before reentering the car

and putting what police later identified as a state championship football ring into the center console, according to police.

Police also observed a strong alcoholic odor on Offray’s breath, and the report also indicates he had watery eyes and

slurred speech.

Offray gave police a friend’s identity with a May 24, 1996, birth date according to the report.

Police said Offray then argued with the officer after being told he was under arrest on a public

Juwan Offray

STILLWATER PD

intoxication complaint.

Offray said he was not intoxicated, but later told police he had attended a party at Aspen Heights with teammates but stayed in the car to sleep, the report said.

The officer proceeded to arrest Offray, according to

O’COLLY

the report.

At the jail, police discovered Offray lied about his identity when the booking sheet from the detention officer had a different name, according to the arrest report.

Offray told police he lied about his identity because he was scared and “did not know what to do.”

The officer informed Offray that using a false identify when it would create liability is a felony in Oklahoma.

Offray was only charged with suspicion of hampering because he confessed to lying and a liability was not created, according to the report.

Both players were released from Stillwater Jail at 11:30 a.m. Sunday — Seales on $149 bond on a public intoxication complaint and Offray on bonds of $149 for public intoxication, plus $549 on the hampering complaint.

Seales, a redshirt sopho-

more, is fourth on the team with 13 receptions for 236 yards and is three touchdowns.

Offray, a freshman, has played in all seven of the Cowboys’ games this season, recording three tackles.

OSU (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) has yet to publicly comment on the players’ status for Saturday’s game against West Virginia.

Klimara reinstated on OSU wrestling team Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

Coach John Smith dismissed Eddie Klimara (above) in March after Klimara’s arrest.

Oklahoma State wrestling coach John Smith announced at Monday’s media day that Eddie Klimara, who was dismissed in March, has been reinstated.

“Officially (he) was added back to the roster late last week,” Smith said. “He had to go through a set of things that we wanted him to go through that I’m not going to make public.”

Klimara, a junior, was arrested on March 22 on suspicion of public drunkenness and possession of cocaine. The arrest came after Klimara was beat out

in the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.

Klimara was at Redneck Yacht Club in Oklahoma City the night of the arrest, where an employee saw Klimara put a small bag containing a white powdery substance into his front pants pocket in a bathroom at the club, according to an Oklahoma City Police Department report.

Police arrived on the scene and seized the bag, which tested positive for cocaine and weighed .21 grams. According to the report, Klimara had a strong odor of alcohol and said he had had “a few beers.”

Klimara’s mother arrived at the scene and said, “My son doesn’t do (coke), he smoked weed when he was

in high school, but he has never done (coke),” according to the report.

Smith said that Klimara has been taking steps since his dismissal to rejoin the program.

“One of the issues was what was gonna be your (Klimara’s) penalty from the law standpoint and what was going to come of it,” Smith said. “I think through his work since that day, he’s put himself in a pretty good position, not just with the program but for himself.”

In June, Klimara was charged with one count of possession of a controlled dangerous substance. On Sept. 8, he entered a plea of not guilty. sports@ocolly.com

Scientist promotes education through insects Savannah Evanoff @SavannahEvanoff

Students take selfies with millipedes, a department head hosts a giant walking stick on his shoulder and children play with cockroaches and caged tarantulas bigger than your hand at OSU’s Insect Adventure, the only live bug petting zoo in the state.

Andrine Shufran, the extension specialist and coordinator of Insect Adventure, said she adores the dynamic environment she works in.

“I am past the point where I can even describe the way I feel about insects,” Shufran said. “I am very passionate about this group of animals.”

Shufran followed in the footsteps of her entomologist father and embraced the role of insects in her life.

She wanted to share that with the world. Her goal with Insect Adventure is to promote education using insects.

“Kids have such insight and curiosity,” Shufran said.

“They are fascinated with insects, so they make a wonderful teaching tool.”

Phil Mulder, department head for Entomology and Plant Pathology at OSU, said he quickly recognized Shufran’s passion for insects and talent with kids.

Mulder coordinated with the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service, which helps finance the program, and created her full-time position as extension specialist within a day. “(Shufran) has done

amazing things,” Mulder said. “This program has ballooned into something tremendous.”

Mulder couldn’t have said it better. Insect Adventure holds more than 80 different species of bugs and gives more than 300 presentations a year throughout the state.

Shufran holds the only full-time position but has employed six part-time students, numbers which she said she hopes grow in the future.

Zoe Austin, a zoology senior, started working at Insect Adventure this semester and says she loves working under Shufran.

“To be honest, when I first started working here, I did not really like insects,” Austin said. “But I mean, how many people can say they hold giant insects on

The wasps at Insect Adventure get their stingers removed so people can hold them.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2014

the weekend?”

After watching Austin pull out different species of walking sticks, cockroaches and beetles for visitors, it is easy to see she fits right in.

Chris Dinges, a psychology graduate student who researches animal behavior, volunteers at Insect Adventure and cares for wasps that visitors can see and hold.

“They are awesome,” Dinges said. “The variation in behavior is just amazing.”

People who work at Insect Adventure are avidly enthusiastic about bugs, making it fun and inspiring for others who might originally fear bugs but later allow them to crawl up their arms.

Despite her overwhelming love of insects, Shufran swats a fly in her office and feels the need to explain.

“We do not have any bugs at home,” Shufran said. “People always come in here apologizing for killing bugs, and I am like, ‘You don’t think I kill termites if they are tearing down my house?’”

Shufran said the program is the best of two worlds.

“I really like animals, and I really like people,” Shufran said. “I am bringing the two together.”

Mulder said he wants the program to gain more exposure. To accomplish this, Insect Adventure will hold open hours on the first and third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is $2.

“It is not just holding critters; you could make a career out of this,” Mulder said. “I hope the greatest benefit that comes out of it is recruitment of potential

students.”

With Shufran’s team of lively workers, and the large amount of harmless, fun insects to interact with, this goal seems more than possible.

“This is how kids get involved in science for a lifetime,” Shufran said.

Investigation finds Sports Illustrated’s allegations ‘fundamentally unfounded’ Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

The NCAA will issue a notice of allegations involving three possible Level II violations regarding the OSU football program stemming from Sports Illustrated’s 2013 five-part series, “The Dirty Game.”

Despite the possible violations, a comprehensive review by the NCAA Enforcement Staff and The Compliance Group — an independent firm hired by the university — found the allegations of misconduct in “The Dirty Game” to be “fundamentally unfounded.”

Investigators interviewed about 100 people and reviewed more than 50,000 emails, according to a joint release from OSU and the NCAA. The interviews include current and former coaches, administrators, studentathletes, students and recruits.

The release also noted that some individuals outside the university “refused to cooperate.”

The Compliance Group, led by veteran investigator Chuck Smrt, cost the university $221,000 as of Tuesday, OSU director of communications Gary Shutt said.

The NCAA defines a Level II violation as “a significant breach of

conduct.” That includes “violations that provide or are intended to provide more than a minimal but less than a substantial or extensive recruiting, competitive or other advantage.”

The violations are as follows: • From January 2008 to October 2012, OSU failed to follow institutional policies and procedure regarding student-athletes’ drug use. Five former players who tested positive for banned substances were allowed to play in intercollegiate athletics without disciplinary actions as mandated by the university’s drug policy.

None of the players were multi-year starters, and two left OSU after the positive test, according to the report.

• The football program organized and oversaw the Orange Pride support program from 2004 to 2013. The students in the program “were not designated in a manner consistent with the institution’s policy for providing campus visits or tours,” meaning all hosting functions of Orange Pride were contrary to NCAA legislation.

• A charge of failure to monitor involving the previous two allegations. The NCAA’s report alleges OSU “failed to adequately monitor its football program to ensure compliance with NCAA rules.” Smrt said there is

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2014

a failure to monitor in about 80 percent of cases, “If you have the first two, that means you didn’t do something, you didn’t educate, you didn’t monitor.”

OSU coach Mike Gundy said he was glad to see the program cleared of major wrongdoing.

“In the aftermath of the Sports Illustrated series, the right thing to do was examine the program,” Gundy said in a release. “I have attempted to operate our program with integrity and have reinforced to our coaching staff the importance of compliance with NCAA rules.

If we had any shortfalls, I wanted to know.

“While I am pleased, but not surprised, that the claims in Sports Illustrated were fundamentally unfounded, we continue to work with the athletics administration to ensure a clear understanding and application of our policies.

From the moment I was chosen to coach my alma mater, I have made decisions to create a NCAA compliant environment, while ensuring studentathlete welfare.

“I love my players and want them to succeed in life by making good decisions and respecting the rules.”

OSU athletic director Mike Holder said the following: “I am pleased that the independent inquiry did not substantiate the

Sports Illustrated ran a five-part series accusing OSU of widespread misconduct last year.

primary contentions contained in the Sports Illustrated articles. Nevertheless, we take the remaining matters very seriously and will undertake the appropriate actions.”

OSU President Burns Hargis said multiple times the university would not pursue legal action against SI. When asked why, Hargis replied, “I practiced

O’COLLY

law for 28 years — I don’t telegraph when I might do something.”

Sports Illustrated released a statement Tuesday, standing by its story.

“Sports Illustrated firmly stands behind its comprehensive series on the Oklahoma State program,” the release said.

“The investigation by the NCAA and an outside consultant hired by Okla-

homa State was limited in scope but nonetheless revealed multiple NCAA violations including a ‘failure to monitor.’

“Nowhere does the report say our work is fundamentally unfounded and in fact it points to its own limitations in its ability to corroborate SI’s findings.” sports@ocolly.com PAGE 6

Students prepare for All-Night Pomp, homecoming Zach Baden @ZachBaden Eight weeks of hard work all comes down to one night.

Since groundbreaking in early September, fraternity and sorority pairings have been preparing to assemble house decorations to welcome back alumni and compete in the sweepstakes competition.

These massive building projects, known as “decs,” can be up to 18 feet tall and over 60 feet wide.

They contain a metal skeleton used to hold up large sections of pomps: artistic patterns of colored tissue paper glued in chicken wire. The more elaborate decs also include multiple spinning, sliding or opening and closing parts powered by gas or electric motors and pneumatic pistons.

Through most of the construction process, the two parts are kept separate for safety and weather concerns until the night before the judging at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Celebration begins during Walkaround at 5 p.m.

At 3 p.m. on Thursday, earlier than previous years, pairings can start hanging the grids by using boomand scissor-lifts to get to the top horizontal beams.

Participants have only about 24 hours to get all of the grids hung and all of the parts moving. That means final construction must be non-stop, giving

way to the term “AllNight Pomp.”

Despite the amount of work required, many students, like Pi Beta Phi sophomore Addie Plank, said they find the experience enjoyable.

“I think All-Night Pomp is a really fun way to get the houses united right before (homecoming) and Walkaround starts,” Plank said. “It is a grind, though.

“We started at 8:30 that night, and I didn’t leave until my 9:30 Comp I class, and many people were still going.”

Plank also said in 2013, conditions were not ideal.

Intermittent rain showers and lower temperatures marked the end of All-Night Pomp and Walkaround. “… It was really cold outside, and we had to pomp outside because there wasn’t any room,” she said. “Obviously, the weather is going to be better this year. But I really like All-Night Pomp despite as much as I like my sleep.”

There are a number of strategies each pairing can employ when it comes to All-Night Pomp.

Starting to hang pomping grids is risky. Once they’re up, all welding has to stop, in accordance with fire code. If the directors choose to start immediately, there is less time to examine all of the welds. If one breaks, the grids have to be taken down.

Another variation between pairings comes in how they organize their

workforce. Most have different shifts for members divided up either by grade or class schedule, but school work will be much less of a factor than in years’ past.

This past spring, university administrators announced that in lieu of a traditional fall break, the day off class would be allocated to the Friday before homecoming. This means that students will be able to focus solely on the preparations for the

celebration.

However, some students said they aren’t thrilled their break isn’t actually a break.

“I hate it because I really want a true break because the only thing we have is Thanksgiving,” Plank said. “But the fact that we don’t have class on Friday will be nice because now no one will have any excuse to go home early.”

But that opinion is not unanimous. FarmHouse

O’COLLY

junior Paul Rosencrans said he thinks it is better for the Greek community to have the day off.

“I think it is good that we don’t have to go to class on Friday,” he said.

“We’ll see how it goes, but I think it’ll be a lot less pressure on everyone.”

Although some make comparisons to their past homecoming experiences, others are preparing to end their first.

FarmHouse freshman Grant Carrl has attended

ELIZABETH SHAFER/O’COLLY

an OSU Homecoming Celebration before, but said he cherishes the social aspect of the twomonth pairing and seeing the work that goes into the decs.

“It’s been great hanging out with different houses, especially Zeta (Tau Alpha),” Carrl said.

“It definitely takes a lot of time and dedication but has also been rewarding so far.” news@ocolly.com PAGE 7

Dekota Gregory @dekotagregory Oklahoma State wrestling is known for its rich history, but the future is also bright for coach John Smith and his young team.

This season, the Cowboy squad will feature 33 underclassmen on its 40-man roster, including 13 true freshmen.

“A lot of new faces,” Smith said of this year’s team. “It’s a young team that I have, as far as the number of sophomores and freshmen I have in my room right now.”

The future of Oklahoma State wrestling may look promising, but Cowboy fans may need some patience to see such success.

“We’re behind right now,” Smith said. “But we have guys in the room that have good character, and that gives you a chance to move a lot faster than some teams can.

“Looking at them, pretty green right now.

Looks like we need to get a little bit tougher, and a little bit stingier on a lot of things. I think the process is going to be a little slow, but I do see the outcome being what we’re used to.”

The large freshman class includes three fourtime state champions and has a combined record of 2,101-148 (93.42 win percentage). Pennsylvania

native Chance Marsteller leads the class at 157 pounds. Marsteller chose Oklahoma State over national powerhouse Penn State as one of the top recruits in the country last year.

As a senior, Marsteller captured his fourth state title at Kennard-Dale High School and ended his high school career with a perfect 166-0 record.

Chandler Rogers, a 165-pounder, and 125-pounder Gary Wayne Harding are also fourtime state champions in the freshman class.

Harding claimed all of his championships as Collinsville Cardinal in Oklahoma, and Rogers accomplished the rare feat in two states. After capturing three state titles in Washington, Rogers helped lead Stillwater to a team state championship during his senior campaign while gaining his fourth individual gold medal.

The freshman group shows potential, however, Smith doesn’t see any of them cracking the starting lineup with perhaps one exception.

“Probably not at this point,” Smith said of the possibility of any freshmen helping fill open spots this season. “At this point in time I would say we probably aren’t looking at any of them.

“As far as the true freshmen, we’ll just wait and see, but I really believe the only weight we can

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2014

see one starting this year would be at 157.”

Marsteller could get the job at 157 pounds, but has been battling a back injury since high school.

Ryan Blees could also receive the opportunity. Blees put together a 250-25 record while at Bismarck H.S. in North Dakota.

But at the moment, the slot belongs to sophomore Anthony Collica.

Smith said Collica, who wrestled at 141 pounds this past season as a freshman, has gained too much weight and will have to move up two classes.

Redshirt freshman Dean Heil will most likely get the nod at 133 pounds to be the only freshman in the starting lineup when the season begins Nov. 16. sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs.

SGA emphasizes safety in recent bills

CAITLYN MINTON/O’COLLY

Some residents believe Boomer Park, off Boomer and Lakeview roads, lacks sufficient lighting.

Stetson Payne @OColly

The Student Government Association passed a pair of resolutions recently aiming to improve safety for Oklahoma State

students and Stillwater residents.

The first, written by John Carstens and co-sponsored by communications direc-

tor Josiah Rossdeutscher, addresses an issue regarding the on-campus Safe Walk program. Safe Walk is designed to provide a security service on campus after dark.

As of now, the program is only able to escort individuals on campus. The program uses trained student public service officers to accompany anyone from one campus location to another between the hours of 7 p.m. and 3 a.m.

That’s great if you live in a residence hall, suite, or on-campus apartment.

But if you live off campus or even in a formal Greek living house, the service is not applicable.

The resolution and concurrent recommenda-

tions by the SGA Senate included that Oklahoma State extend the Safe Walk to all university-approved housing, as well as any additional residential housing developed by the university, such as the construction north of Hall of Fame Avenue.

This is dependent on possible financing changes as well because Safe Walk is funded by a $3.50 charge per credit hour of tuition. However, the change could result in a significantly safer environment for many OSU students.

The Senate also approved a second recommendation regarding the park at Boomer Lake in northern Stillwater.

Currently, lighting along the walking path is a minimum, creating what many believe to be an unsafe area. As a result, many have called on civic leaders to improve lighting in the area.

The SGA Senate can be included, having previously called for improvements last year. In a recommendation put forward by Miranda Luster, the SGA Senate recommends that the City of Stillwater install more lighting around Boomer lake, going so far as to immediately forward the resolution to the Stillwater City Council and Parks and Recreation Department directly. news@ocolly.com
