How To Master Campus Parking

Parking Tips: Brought to you by Pistol Pete to make your mornings easier:

Parking on campus can be daunting. Thousands of people come through campus every day, so what is the smartest way to avoid the crowd and get to class on time?

• Arrive Early. Resist the urge to hit the snooze! Peak parking times are between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

• Be Safe. If you are bringing an oversized vehicle to campus, keep the safety of others — and the condition of your vehicle — in mind. Parking Services request that you park closer to the middle of parking rows for safety reasons.

• Update Your Ride. Make sure you notify Parking Services of any changes — whether it is a new vehicle or license plate. You can update this information by calling 405-744-6525.

• Park & Ride. Save time and money by utilizing Park and Ride! The Park and Ride permit is the cheapest permit option and the quickest commute. There are plenty of spaces and a bus that takes you straight to campus.

NEW S

Weathers faces felony grand larceny charges, arrested h allie hart Sports Editor @ha llieha rt

Michael Weathers, an Oklahoma State point guard, is facing charges of felony grand larceny and was suspended indefinitely from the men’s basketball team.

CBS Sports first reported the news about Weathers, a redshirt sophomore, Wednesday.

Weathers, 21, was charged with one count of grand larceny Sept. 10, according to the docket on the Oklahoma State Courts Network website. Weathers was released on a personal recognizance bond filed that day, according to court records.

Police arrested Weathers at 1:58 a.m. on Sept. 9 at

J.R. Murphy’s, a bar at 306 S. Washington St., according to the probable cause affidavit. Weathers was arrested on accounts of larceny and knowingly concealing stolen property. The loss of property totaled $85, according to police reports.

The owner of J.R. Murphy’s said someone took Kathryn Grace Rollings’ debit card and that his security staff were detaining the person, according to the affidavit. Jimmy Knox of the Stillwater Police Department, who administered the investigation, went across the street and learned that the man detained was identified as Michael Kelvin Weathers, according to court records.

The affidavit stated

Weathers said “he did not know what was going on” and “he doesn’t understand.”

Knox brought Rollings to where Weathers was detained, and she identified him, according to records.

Rollings said her pink wallet was sticking out of her open purse when she waited in line to enter J.R. Murphy’s, according to the affidavit. She said she discovered her wallet was gone when she reached in her purse to show her ID to security staff at the door.

Rollings said she questioned the security staff about someone turning in her wallet, and she saw Weathers and his friends laughing as they pointed at her, according to the affadavit. Rollings said she

watched Weathers and his friends use her debit card to buy more than one drink, according to court records.

Rollings added that she saw her name printed and written on the receipt Weathers signed. Rollings said she inquired where Weathers put her debit card, and he had her Conoco Card. Her OSU student ID card fell out of Weathers’ passport book, which he also had in his hand, according to the affidavit.

When Rollings asked Weathers for her other cards, he said he had none of them, according to court records.

“Who is Kathryn Rollings?” Weathers repeatedly said, according to records.

After Rollings asked again for her possessions,

Weathers grabbed a pink wallet from his front right pocket, according to records.

Rollings confirmed it as her wallet and promptly took it from him.

When Rollings got her wallet back, she still didn’t have her debit card, according to records.

As Knox took Weathers to the Stillwater Detention Center in a patrol car, Weathers said he didn’t know why he was arrested and once said he was arrested because he is black, according to the affidavit.

Weathers could serve a maximum of a year in Payne County Jail and pay up to $1,000 in fines.

Mike Boynton, the Cowboy basketball coach, issued a statement to CBS Sports

regarding Weathers’ status with the team.

“Michael (Weathers) was suspended from team activities as soon as we learned of the incident,” Boynton said. “He remains suspended indefinitely.”

Weathers has never played in an OSU basketball game, excluding the European tour matchups. He transferred from Miami (Ohio), and eligibility rules kept him on the bench for the 2017-18 season.

Weathers’ preliminary hearing is arranged for 10 a.m. Oct. 1.

SGA Fall 2018 Joint Session discusses campus construction, student body issues jacob sturm staff reporter @ o c olly

The Student Government Association held its first joint session Wednesday night to discuss the construction on campus, the importance of voting and the highlights of the semester to this point.

Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis, Vice President for Student Affairs Lee Bird and SGA President Chase Blevins spoke at the event.

Hargis had high praise for the freshman class. “(This is) the first time we have exceeded 35 percent in out-of-state students,” Hargis said.

Hargis said out-ofstate students typically make up about 30-33 percent of the student population.

He added that another focus for OSU is student body retention. “(A class) loses, from freshman to sophomore year, about 800 students,” Hargis said.

Hargis said OSU will attempt to solve the issue through “intervening a lot earlier, where we see students struggling.”

Hargis then addressed the construction on campus.

“Our faculty and students deserve the best facilities,” Hargis said.

“But it’s buildings that allow them to have the

platform they need to do their maximum good and get the maximum benefit for society.”

One notable building under construction is the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts.

Hargis said it will reach completion next year.

“The (exterior of the) McKnight Center should

be finished by the summer of 2019,” Hargis said. “They can start working on the finishes inside.”

Bird said it’s important for students to vote despite how politicians don’t listen to students’ voices because not enough of them vote.

“If you are a patriot,

you need to be voting,” Bird said. “If you start voting, you will change the face of this state.”

Bird is retiring at the end of the school year.

“Lee has been an absolute stalwart for this university,” Hargis said.

“We are really going to miss Lee Bird.”

The hope is for OSU to find Bird’s replacement by the end of the year.

Bird said she will continue to live in the Stillwater community.

Blevins said the goal of SGA is to “make Oklahoma State University the best it can be and a university where our students feel heard and included.”

He said he is confident

the cabinet can successfully accomplish that goal.

Blevins said SGA is working to increase diversity training for incoming freshmen on campus as a response to requests received from the student body.

Blevins said he recogizes the importance of getting engaged in campus activities and organizations.

“We want to make sure that everybody else can take part in our amazing campus,” Blevins said.
