Mr. and Ms. International competition overcomes adversity, celebrates diversity ZACH HAKE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF @ ZACH_HAKE

The 2018 Mr. and Ms. International OSU competition almost never happened.

Despite Monday’s snow day, unfortunate illness and technical difficulties that nearly derailed Wednesday’s pageant, the International Student Organization found a way to put on the show and crown the winners.

The Student Union Theater, filled with eager spectators from a variety of different ethnicities and cultures, was the venue for one of the biggest events ISO hosts each year. Eight contestants from five countries competed for two $500 scholarships.

The Mr. and Ms. International 2017 winners Mr. India, Yash Tiwari and Ms. Nepal, Riva Nayaju, emceed the event.

Tiwari and Nayaju both said they were thankful for the opportunity to represent ISO and they were excited to pass on the title.

This year’s competition featured a talent phase in which contestants would perform an act for the audience and a question and answer phase in which contestants would have one minute to answer an open-ended question on stage.

Mr. Nepal, Kumar Shrestha and Ms. Iran, Ghazal Foroutan were named Mr. and Ms. International OSU 2018. The runners-up were Mr. Chi-

na, Zhiyuan Xu, and Ms. India, Sreejita Biswas. Xu and Biswas both received $250 scholarships.

Shrestha’s act featured a traditional Nepal dance.

Shrestha didn’t mess a step, smiling from earto-ear during his entire performance.

Shrestha, who said he is normally not one to perform in front of others, looked as though he’d been dancing his whole life.

“To be honest with you, I really used to be a shy person,” Shrestha said. “I used to be interested in dance, but I never used to dance. I knew I could dance, so I started looking at videos and teaching myself. My sister also helped teach me, and we started watching the videos together and I began learning the dance.”

One thing Shrestha said he is looking forward to most as Mr. International 2018 is learning more about all of the international students at OSU. “After winning this title, I’m looking forward to participating in all of the ISO events,” Shrestha said. “I’m excited to represent my culture and showcase my talents. I hope to become friends with all the international students around OSU, regardless of their ethnicity and background.”

Foroutan completed a live artwork for the audience during her performance. Foroutan used old and broken watch pieces to construct her artwork and she glued gears, watch faces and metal

bits to a canvas, which later revealed a colorful rendition of Earth.

Foroutan said she has always been an artistic person, but she started working with watch pieces at 7. She said her art is a way to express herself and connect with people from all over the world.

Foroutan said she was proud to represent her home country of Iran in the competition.

“I’m happy to represent my country and I got to win,” Foroutan said.

“I know there’s a lot of plans and events coming up and I’ll be taking part in all of them. I’ve met the most wonderful people. I’ve always loved meeting people from other countries and becoming friends with them. That’s why I moved

here and it was one of my first goals to meet all these amazing people and become friends with them.”

It has been years since a student from Iran has been crowned Ms. International OSU, but Foroutan said she is honored to be the one to represent her country and culture.

“It’s been so long since someone from my country won Ms. International OSU,” Foroutan said. “I really want to represent my culture and my country more. I want to introduce new aspects and things to the ISO, like my art.”

Chuong Do, the president of ISO, said he was proud of how the event turned out and how his team handled adversity.

Do said he was worried the event wasn’t going

to happen, but he said everyone who helped deserved a big pat on the back.

“The snow day on Monday wiped out one of our important preparation days,” Do said. “A few of the important people in the operation also fell ill at an unfortunate time.

At one point, we were actually talking about having to cancel it. It was a really big effort for all the contestants and the help and support from the Student Union staff and the most awesome ISO team ever helped put this event on on time and like this.”

The event also featured guest performances from OSU senior Cole Norton, who performed his original song “Chances,” and Ms. Asian OSU, Courtney Brendal, who

performed the Butterfly Lovers’ Violin Concerto, which two Chinese composers wrote in 1959.

As the night drew to a close and audience members filed out into the halls for refreshments, Foroutan and Shrestha stood on stage and took photos with their friends and supporters.

“It’s a great achievement for me,” Shrestha said. “It means a lot to me and I think winning this title is an honor. I was so ready to do that and I’m thankful they were all here to see it.”

Review: ‘The Girl in the Spider’s Web’ lacks character development MEGAN HAYS

CA M PUS NEWS E DI TOR

@ O C OLLY

For a movie with an iconic role, “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” fails to deliver a story fit for the character.

The movie is loosely based on Stieg Larsson’s original novel series involving a hacker and vigilante with a tragic past, Lisbeth Salander.

In this soft reset of the series, Claire Foy plays Salander, and actor Sverrir Gudnason plays journalist Mikael Blomkvist.

The story takes place in Salander’s comfort place of Stockholm, Sweden, and begins with Salander doing what she does best, ruining an abusive man’s life.

A computer programmer contacts Salander to hack into the United States National Security Agency to delete a program with the capability of controlling all of the online security systems of the world. Her hacking alerts Edwin Needham (LaKeith Stanfield), who flies to Stockholm to find the program.

Throughout the course of the movie, the two find a way to work together to go against Salander’s sister who wants the program to sell to the highest bidder.

The movie includes references to the past movie as well as other things that a new viewer would miss like Salander’s abusive father.

Foy’s acting throughout the entire movie was amaz-

Actress Claire Foy stars in “The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” the continued story of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”

ing to watch. The moody and guarded Salander could be easy to overplay, but Foy shows her capability to reveal the little cracks in the wall Salander built up. She also demonstrates her talent in a script that seems to lack the expected suspense of most

psychological thrillers.

Although the plot isn’t boring, it isn’t as surprising as a thriller should be.

All but one of the twists were somewhat cliche. It felt as if the overall story acts as a chapter to explain Salander’s behavior, but it does not progress the

series story forward in any way.

The characters have no dynamic nature to them, which creates a lack of character development.

The main villain in the film is Salander’s sister, Camilla. She had the potential to be a complicated villain, but her character was never given the chance. This lack of character dimension seems to affect every character in the film. At a critical scene near the end, Salander seems to be no different than she is at the start of the movie.

“The Girl in the Spider’s Web” has a lot of engaging action sequences, but the camera movement in some of them is too choppy to give the audience a clear picture of how the fight is

happening. The choreographer did make a smart choice in having Salander use the environment around her to her advantage.

The movie has several highs, including Foy’s acting ability and action sequences, but it lacks a new original story to add depth to those elements. Fans of the first movie or book series might enjoy seeing the familiar characters and the explanation the movie offers, but new fans are left in the cold with a storyline that is painfully bland.

OSU cross-country set to make statement at NCAA Championships DAVI D M OOR E STAFF REPORTER @ R U NDAVID M OOR E

The long hours of training, the hot summer runs and the seemingly endless days of grinding are reaching a pinnacle.

Oklahoma State crosscountry will finish its season Saturday in Madison, Wisconsin, at the NCAA Cross Country Championships.

This will mark the 16th consecutive year the Cowboys compete in the NCAA Championships and the seventh appearance in the past nine years for the Cowgirls.

The Cowboys and Cowgirls will look to redeem themselves after a poor performance in last year’s final race. The women’s

team finished 30th and the men 29th with 31 teams in each competition.

The women run first in the 6-kilometer race at 10:45 a.m. The men’s 10K is at 11:45 a.m. The races will take place on the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course. OSU comes in with prior experience, having raced on this course at the Nuttycombe Invitational in September.

There is one alteration.

The men’s race at the Nuttycombe was only an 8K. Dave Smith, OSU’s coach, said the extra 2 kilometers are a significant change that doesn’t help the Cowboys.

“Typically (the extra 2K) has been to our benefit,” Smith said. “This year, due

to injuries, illnesses and a little bit of a lack of training, we’re not maybe as good at 10K as we are an 8K.” Smith said mental toughness is an important part of racing in the 10K and the Cowboys have a group that can handle the extra

distance.

Throughout the season, the Cowboys and Cowgirls have had consistent lead runners. Ashenafi Hatte and Isai Rodriguez have led the way for the men during the past months. Sinclaire Johnson has made a significant im-

pact all season long for the women.

OSU will find it critical for these leaders to compete well and will rely on strong finishes from those scoring.

Molly Born, a freshman, is one example of a runner who is vital for OSU. Born finished second for the Cowgirls at the Nuttycombe Invitational and the Arturo Barrios Invitational. She didn’t score in the Big 12 Championships or the Midwest Regional and will look to regain her form in her first NCAA Championship race.

“I want to try my best and try to run as a pack,” Born said.

Luis Martinez, a senior, concludes his collegiate cross-country career this Saturday. Martinez is a

veteran runner who has been running for the Cowboys since 2013.

Martinez will race in the NCAA Championships for the third time Saturday. He said he believes if the Cowboys race right, they can finish in the top 10, and he has hopes to finish in the top 40 as an All-American.

“I want to remember that I did my best,” Martinez said.

“However good it is, I want to be able to say that I really couldn’t have done better.”

Cowboys, Piccininni open season with two road tests WA D E HAUG EN copy chief @WAD E_HAU GEN

A trip north to take on two top-20 teams.

That’s what the No. 4 Oklahoma State wrestling team will embark on this weekend when it takes on No. 20 South Dakota State and No. 13 Minnesota in Brookings, South Dakota and Minneapolis, Minnesota, respectively.

The Cowboys are coming off a disappointing season in which they placed outside of the top 10 in the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships for just the second time in program history.

As redshirt junior Nick

Piccininni showcased, it’s clear this year’s team has a chip the size of a boulder on its shoulder. He’d be the first to say it based on how his season ended last year.

Piccininni won a Big 12 title at 125 pounds last year but was defeated in the national tournament before he could achieve All-American status.

“I felt a feeling that I don’t ever want to feel again,” Piccininni said.

“It’s definitely a learning experience.

“I think we have a really good team, so I think the mindset is flipped. I think we’re going to be on a war path, and we’re going to be a team that’s going to surprise a lot of

people. We’re solid all the way through. We’re definitely a team in the hunt. We’re the top competition.”

Although John Smith, OSU’s coach, has echoed Piccininni’s thoughts on the expectations of this team, he also knows the challenge ahead and talked about the obstacles teams typically face early in the season.

“I will tell you this,” Smith said. “Sometimes it’s hard to get what you want out of your first few matches, especially at this level. I just hope to see some intensity there, and if you’re not having a great match, you’re finding ways to fight through it and get the victory.

“You’re not gonna wrestle how you want.

You might come close, but I doubt it. There’s gonna be some areas you don’t feel real comfortable in, and I wanna see you perform and kind of gut it out in those areas.”

At 133 pounds, OSU has a wrestler who has attracted national attention. After going 168-0 in his prep career, Daton Fix added to his resume when he won the 2017 Junior World Championships. Set to compete for the Cowboys for the first time after redshirting last season, Fix will have his hands full.

His first matchup of the season is against the topranked defending national

champion Seth Gross.

Sunday against Minnesota, he will face No. 6 Ethan Lizak.

“He’s starting off with two of the best guys at the weight class,” Smith said. “That’s his first two matches at 133 … We gotta remember, too, he’s never put the singlet on.

He’s never wrestled for us. We all have a tendency of having really high expectations, but I know from experience there’s a developmental time at these weight classes, especially the lower weights.

“Dude, those weight classes are tougher than tough. I mean tough, deep, deep weight classes … He’s got high hopes if

it goes well it goes well.

If it doesn’t, we got some learning to do.”

When asked if the Cowboys are ready for the season, Piccininni didn’t hold back, especially with how events transpired at the end of last season.

“Oh yeah, we’re ready,” Piccininni said. “I think we’re going to be as tough as ever. Like I said, last year put a bad taste in our mouth, so this year we’re going out with a purpose. We’re wrestling with a purpose.”

Cornelius blocks out Senior Day thoughts ahead of matchup with another top-10 opponent graduation will likely be suris ranked No. 24 in the naadmirably at times, esJ E RE M Y KO LOK Asst. Sports Editor @ J E REM YKOLOK

For the second straight year, the Oklahoma State football team will recognize its quarterback on Senior Day. Taylor Cornelius, OSU’s humble signal-caller, is not in the same situation as former Cowboy quarterback Mason Rudolph this time last year.

Rudolph’s graduation from OSU was surrounded with excitement and optimism for the future as he prepared to play professionally in the NFL. For Cornelius, with his last start at Boone Pickens Stadium now looming after his first and only year as the face of Cowboy football, his

rounded with a “thank you” feeling toward him from OSU fans.

At OSU’s weekly player availability Tuesday, Cornelius immediately and politely shut down all Senior Day questions, trying to emphasize that he just wants to focus on the opponent at hand.

“Not really (thinking about it),” Cornelius said.

“It’s another game. We’ve still got two more left, so I haven’t really thought about Senior Day yet.”

Cornelius’ demeanor toward personal questions says more about him than his answers ever could.

He’s never rude while answering or dodging questions from the media, but Cornelius has made it clear

No. 9 West Virginia’s offense rivals OU as potentially the most potent in the conference and it all starts with Heisman candidate quarterback Will Grier. And the West Virginia’s defense

tion and allows 20.9 points per game.

But the result of the game likely depends on which version of the Cowboys will be present, and that starts with Cornelius.

If Cornelius and the Pokes perform like they did against Boise State, Texas and OU, then they can hang with anybody in the country, even a Dana Holgorsen-led offense fueled on Red Bull.

But if the awkward, outof-rhythm offense from the Kansas State and Baylor games shows up on Saturday, then it could be a long Senior Day for the Cowboys.

Cornelius may not go to the NFL like Rudolph or Grier, but for one season, Cowboy fans will likely agree that he has performed

pecially against big-time opponents, and he should be commended for his commitment to the program.

Sticking to the program, specifically for four years as the backup quarterback before earning the starting job this season, is what Cornelius said he wants OSU fans to remember him for.

“Just someone that stuck it out and didn’t get their opportunity for a while,” Cornelius said. “But it pays off in the end for sure.”

“I feel like Stillwater’s embraced me. It’s been my home away from home.”
