THAT’S GOING TO COST YOU AN ARm AND A LEG

Members of SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS AS THEIR NEW PISTOL PETE STATUE HAS ALREADY BEEN VANDALIZED.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pistol Pete carving vandalized P I PE R REES E STAFF REPORTER @ P_N R eese

Vandalism struck Oklahoma State University’s Greek neighborhood with a severed arm and pistol.

The Pistol Pete carving in front of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at OSU was vandalized this past weekend.

The arm and pistol were removed and stolen from the statue.

Clayton Coss of Clayton Coss Chainsaw Carvings was commissioned by the SAE fraternity to carve Pistol Pete into the trunk of the tree previously found

in the house’s lawn. The project took Coss about five days to complete, which included cutting the tree down and carving the stump.

Chris Busby, a member of the SAE Alumni Board, said that this wasn’t the first time the carving was vandalized.

“It happened once back in May, with just the pistol being taken from the statue,” Busby said. “Mr. Coss was told about it a couple of months ago and he said he could make a new one with some steel bars in it so people couldn’t cut it off.”

Busby commissioned

PIPER REESE/O’COLLY

Coss to repair the carving and replace the missing pistol, along with steel bars in the arm to prevent future vandalism. This cost around $1,200 to complete.

Those improvements

did not deter vandals from striking again. Busby was informed about the carving being vandalized once more, this time with an entire arm missing as well.

Video surveillance is

being analyzed at the SAE house in hopes that it will give the fraternity a lead.

A police investigation is underway.

Busby is offering a $1,000 cash reward for the

return of the arm and the name of the thief.

“I will never reveal the source that gives me the lead or the missing arm back,” Busby said.

More than anything, Busby is disappointed in the destruction of the art.

“The carving is a tribute to OSU,” Busby said. “It’s there for the university and for everyone to enjoy.

Mr. Coss is very proud of it and I do not want to call him back to tell him the arm was stolen.”

Allied Arts’ “Shakespeare on the Lawn” gives students an opportunity to perform Megan Hays STAFF REPORTER @ m egtherep ort er

People go to college to pursue a career, and in the journey to get the degree, some passions can get left behind in a high school auditorium.

In the spirit of grassroots productions, Oklahoma State University’s Allied Arts is working with students to get them back in touch with their theatrical roles in the upcoming production of Shakespeare on the Lawn.

Kayla Loper, the manager of arts, culture & entertainment for the program, is hopeful that student talents will come

out of the woodwork and make the new program an exciting tradition.

“This is the first time we’ve ever done this program,” Loper said. “We have auditions because it will be a completely

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2019

student-run production, so both the technical side and the cast.”

The idea, based on the nation-wide productions of Shakespeare in the Park, came to Allied Arts from two students who

PIPER REESE/O’COLLY

missed the stage, Ashely Fallhauer and Adam Glover.

“I did it because I missed being in like a theater production since high school,” Glover said. “There are chances

OCOLLY.COM

on campus but usually you never know how to join like the OSU theatre productions or the other ones are politics based to join. Last semester I took a class where we had to design a productions that we’d want to put on someday and I came to Ashely and I was like ‘I want to do the idea we had freshman year to do Shakespeare on the lawn.’’

College classes can make it hard to meet people and do projects outside of a student’s selected major. The preparation of Shakespeare on the Lawn is centered on students from different majors coming together to bring the production

to life.

“I think it is really important that universities continue to encourage students to be well rounded in that sense to either practice their hobbies or stay connected to the arts while still getting a degree in something considered more mainstream in terms of cash flow in the future,” Loper said. “I think we create better, more well-rounded people by encouraging people to do that.”

At auditions last week, students from zoology to engineering were waiting for their turn to show their acting skills. Students like Jacob Schuck, a computer science STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 5

Coach Mike Gundy isn’t sure whether Calvin Bundage will play or sit out when the Oklahoma State football team faces McNeese State on Saturday.

“We might hold him out again this week,” Gundy said. “Just depends on how he’s feeling.”

Bundage, a senior linebacker from Edmond, is recovering from a back strain and didn’t travel with the Cowboys to Corvallis, Oregon, in their opener against Oregon State.

“Calvin had a setback about 10 days ago, and so we held him out,” Gundy said.

Gundy said he won’t receive health updates about players until Tuesday, but Bundage doesn’t need surgery.

“It’s in a pain tolerance mode, and those things are hard to measure,” Gundy said.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2019

For the second straight week, Malcolm Rodriguez is listed as a starting linebacker on the depth chart with Bundage behind him. The chart has an “or” between Bundage and Na’drian Dizadare, a freshman from Shreveport, Louisiana.

Rodriguez, a junior from Wagoner, logged nine tackles against Oregon State.

Trace Ford brings Jordan Brailfordlike adaptability to Cowboys H AL L I E H ART CO-EDITOR-IN-CHIEF @ H AL L I E H ART

Trace Ford has played in only one Oklahoma State football game, but he has shown his potential as a versatile defender.

Ford, a freshman from Edmond, made his collegiate debut in the Cowboys’ season opener victory against Oregon State on Friday. Although former OSU standout Brailford has started his NFL career with the Washington Redskins, the Cowboys have a new adaptable defensive end in Ford.

Coach Mike Gundy said Ford’s athletic skill is similar to Brailford’s.

OCOLLY.COM

“He moves around like Brailford does,” Gundy said.

“We feel like he’s athletic enough to move around and do some things we did with Jordan.”

Although coach Gundy noted Ford doesn’t have the experience or power Brailford brought to the team during the past season, he said Ford is quicker than Brailford.

“Trace is really fast and can cover a lot of ground once he sees what’s going on,” Gundy said. “And it seems like he processes information really quick.”

At Edmond Santa Fe High School, Ford was a four star recruit, according to 247Sports.

In his first OSU game, he had a quarterback hurry and two pass breakups.

freshman.

“I was in theatre all throughout high school and I loved it,” Schuck said. “I love the idea of the stage, I loved especially the people I met there. I loved being around people who were so performative and so dedicated to making a great show and dedicated to making people happy through that show.

I want to be around those people.”

Like Schuck, Sam Leach, a chemical engineer, wanted to get involved with the production but in a different way.

Leach wanted to work on the technical side of producing the show.

“I used to do a lot of tech when I was in high school, I was the stage manager for three of the shows we did,” Leach said. “I just really missed theatre. I just graduated and I wanted to get involved with something here and I’m just really excited that I can now.”

While they enjoyed and missed the stage, for students like Schuck and Leach a degree in fine arts didn’t map onto what they wanted to do

in life. It could be on the backburner but does not fit with their goals in life.

“Realistically with everything in the fine arts there are only two paths you can properly take with it, you can go through to education or you can go to performance,” Schuck said. “I don’t see myself as much of an educator and as a performer, it is such a difficult life to lead. There’s so much stress involved with it… The most important thing to me is not being able to do something I love but doing it with people I love and being able to create family and that’s almost impossible to do in a performance setting.”

While the stage might not be part of a student’s future plans, the involvement still allows them to experience things and people outside of their major. The advantage to having all of these students from varying backgrounds creates new ways to solve problems that arise from creating a stage production.

“I’m hoping that the different academic backgrounds of our cast and crew will help us work together on the

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2019

idiosyncrasies of this play as Midsummer but then also what we’re doing as this being an outdoor set,” Fallhauer said. “People different affinities for say, lightening or knowing how sound works or being able to build things or maybe collaborative leadership skills, I think it is really important for these people to flex their academic backgrounds and push that aside to be theater people again.

It’s a good thing for college students to practice what they’re learning in a setting that there is a diverse array of backgrounds and skills.”

The first Shakespeare on the Lawn will be the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. on Library Lawn. The production is meant for OSU students by OSU students.

“With all of the majors coming together we have, our shows production kinda looks like our school itself,” Glover said. “So everyone coming together to make this show what it can be, just like every student here is trying to make OSU look like a really good school.”
