The ban is over.

Oklahoma State University is bringing electric scooters back to campus three months after they were banned.

When the Bird rental scooters arrived on campus in August 2018, students were seen zipping along the sidewalks to class in a timely fashion. The scooters, which provided an extra source of income for students, became an overnight sensation.

The excitement was short-lived. OSU enacted a ban on the motorized scooters on Oct. 15, 2018.

The ban inspired students to take action, and, with the efforts of students like Jadan Terrazas, their voices were heard.

“A group of my friends and I had been charging the Birds, and we had a group message about it beforehand,” Terrazas, an agribusiness pre-law sophomore, said. “When the email came out, we were worried about our money disappearing cause we were making almost $100-150 a day sometimes. One of my friends kind of jokingly said, ‘Well, we should start a petition, and get them back.’ And I said, ‘Well, we should do it.’”

The petition reached around 4,000 supporters after the first day.

After Terrazas met with Joe Weaver, OSU senior FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2019

vice president for administration and finance, plans were being made to bring the motorized scooters back to campus.

Michael Bird, a biosystems and agricultural engineering freshman, is one of the numerous students who used the electric scooters on occasion.

“I’m really excited about (the return of scooters on campus),” Bird said. “I’m a big fan of the scooters because they really cut out being late for class, and they’re a lot of fun to just ride around on.

It’s something relatively cheap that you can just step out of the dorm and do with your buddies, and it’s a good time. I’m glad they’re coming back.”

The removal of the scooters was due to the safety concerns and permitting issues on campus, according to an announcement from OSU. With the extra preventative measures that are being taken with the new partnered company, Bird said he has a lot of faith in Spin.

“After reading what the university said about that situation and after it was made clear what happened, I feel like Bird and Lime blew their chance,” Bird said. “OSU took our complaints very seriously. They tried to find a remedy and Spin gave them the best offer. Spin promised that they could control and offer cheaper scooters. I feel like maybe the service will be a little

bit better. I’m open to it.”

While some OSU students have long awaited the return of the rental scooters, other students, like Loretta Lacy, are not as thrilled.

“I hated them in the first place and I still hate them now,” Lacy, a zoology pre-vet junior, said. “I walk everywhere because campus is pretty small.

Having them in a small area with a lot of kids seems pretty dangerous.”

After witnessing friends getting injured and hearing of others getting hurt, Lacy said she is concerned about the possibility of injuries becoming more common with the return of the motorized scooters.

“I know that before they were banned, a bunch of girls that would go fast and hit rocks would end up hurting their face and they would break their arms,” Lacy said. “This one girl ended up having to get a skin graft on her forehead because it got tore up. I just don’t wanna see kids at school getting injured like that, and I don’t wanna see other kids getting hit or run over or tripping over them.”

Steve Spradling, director of OSU Parking and Transportation Services, said he feels Spin was the better option of the companies to bring on campus because of their respectful nature and willingness to comply to campus regulations.

“The reason for bringing them back is because OCOLLY.COM

cover s t o ry the students wanted them,” Spradling said. “(Vice president Joe) Weaver told them we would, but we would bring them back in a responsible way.”

OSU decided to work with Ford Motor Co. scooter franchise, Spin, which gives students a cheaper option as well as enforces greater parking restrictions on campus.

Spin was founded in San Francisco, CA, in November 2016. The company’s first dockless mobility operation began in July 2017.

The contract between Spin and OSU called for an initial launch of 200 scooters on Jan. 14, but the scooters didn’t arrive on campus until Thursday.

Spin is required to pay

$236 per unit per year, according to the contract between Spin and OSU. Despite the original plans for a launch of 200 scooters, about 50 appear on the Spin app on campus as of Thursday.

Spin believes a smaller launch and phase-up is the correct approach to ensure a smooth launch and effective establishment and enforcement of rules regarding parking and riding behavior, despite Stillwater’s past experience with rogue launches from other scooter companies, according to the contract between Spin and OSU. The scooters will be open to students and the general public and will feature GPS tracking to ensure that the rentals will be parked properly

in designated locations.

They will also remain at a controlled speed of 10 mph in campus areas, and allow for students to sign in with their university email address to unlock at half the price of Bird and Lime scooters.

An updated scooter parking map is currently in the works.

Users can also select a Spin Unlimited Membership, which grants unlimited rides up to 30 minutes per ride starting at $14 per month. There is also a yearly plan for $49.

When it comes to the potential risks of safety and parking issues, Spradling said that proper measures are being taken.

“Safety is always a concern, but we’re working really hard to get parking

locations in place, which we did not have an opportunity to do when the other scooter companies launched without our knowledge,” Spradling said. “Spin contacted me personally through email, and when I told them that we weren’t prepared to launch a scooter share on campus, they were very respectful and didn’t just show up like the others did. I feel like they have more integrity than some of the others.”

The Honors College at OSU Top students can get an enriching educational experience

Oklahoma State University’s Honors College is housed in Old Central on the Stillwater campus.

Oklahoma State University has one of the nation’s top 10 honors curriculum, according to the book "Inside Honors 2018-2019: Ratings and Reviews of 50 Public University Honors Programs."

The ranking is the highest in the state.

Within the OSU Honors College, high-achieving students are challenged with unique experiences that allow them to grow as individuals and prepare for the bright futures that lie ahead.

What is an honors education?

OSU students with the Honors College have opportunities to study abroad, like these Cowboys at Cambridge.

As defined by the National Collegiate Honors Council, an “honors education is characterized by in-class and extracurricular activities that are measurably broader, deeper, or more complex than comparable learning experiences typically found at institutions of higher education. Honors experiences include a distinctive learner-directed environment and philosophy, provide opportunities that are appropriately tailored to fit the institution's culture and mission, and frequently occur within a close-knit community of students and faculty.”

“THIS PAGE PRODUCED AND PAID FOR BY OSU BRAND MANAGEMENT.”

Why seek out an honors program?

Students enrolled in our Honors College benefit from a one-of-a-kind experience. Honors College students have access to all of the resources and amenities of a large public university, coupled with top-rated curriculum tailored for them. Honors students can expect a supportive and tight-knit community, numerous opportunities for growth, an enriched academic experience, extensive interaction with top faculty and exceptional preparation for life after college.

A broad experience

At OSU, an honors education focuses on educating the whole person beyond the basics of earning a degree.

Character and service are key aspects of our program, represented by everything from our community outreach projects organized by the Honors College Student Association to undergraduate research opportunities, social events and life-changing studyabroad experiences.

How to qualify

Eligibility requirements vary a bit for incoming freshmen versus students already attending OSU. New freshmen must have: • ACT composite score of 27 or higher or an SAT-R score of 1280 or higher (critical reading and math only) • High school grade point average of 3.75 or higher. (Weighted high school grade point averages that are certified by high schools may be used.)

Students other than new freshmen will be eligible on the basis of OSU and cumulative college grade point averages that meet eligibility requirements for continued honors course enrollment.

Students with previous college credit (other than new freshmen) must have: • Fewer than 60 credit hours: 3.30 minimum GPAs • 60-93 credit hours: 3.40 minimum GPAs • 94 or more credit hours: 3.50 minimum GPAs TO LEARN MORE about what the OSU Honors College program offers and how to get involved, visit honors.okstate.edu.

Review: ‘A Real Good Kid’ offers soul-searching journey J e t Turn er, E n t e rtain men t E d i tor

Mike Posner takes us through an introspective look on his life in his third studio album “A Real Good Kid.” “Hello, you are about to listen to A Real Good Kid. The album is 40 minutes long and is meant to be listened to in one sitting, straight through. It is meant to be listened to without texting, without emailing, without outside distraction of any sort. If at this time you are unable to devote 40 minutes of undivided attention, I politely ask you turn this off and return at a later time.”

These words spoken at the beginning of “A Real Good Kid” set the tone for what becomes a soul-searching journey through the tragedy

Posner has experienced over the last three years.

After this message the album transitions seamlessly into “January 11th, 2017,” a song that relives the events of the day his father lost his long-time battle with brain cancer. Posner goes through every miniscule detail of the day, final exclaiming that “The day my Daddy die, I became a man.”

From here the album moves “A Real Good Kid” by Mike Posner/Facebook into “Wide Open,” which Artwork for Mike Posner’s third studio album “A Real Good Kid.” begins as a light-hearted guitar melody but quickly picks up to move on from something been experiencing. an electronic beat as Posner heart-breaking, whether that After these comes “Drip,” sings about his past mistakes be a breakup, the loss of a which is undoubtedly one with lovers, friends and family family member or something of the heaviest songs on the member. similar. Throughout these album. This is Posner expressThe next songs on the songs Posner talks about ing his grief towards the loss album are “Song About You” everything he must feel and go of producer and friend Avicii, and “Move On.” The songs through before he can move who committed suicide on provide commentary on trying on from the tragedy he has April 20, 2018. He struggles

with other friends in his life who he is afraid could “next,” and struggles with how he is a multimillionaire by the age of 30, yet nothing seems to be going right in his life.

Next is “Staring at the Fire.”

This song is a metaphor about how Posner has attempted to distract himself with work, women, religion and other things, yet can’t stop focusing on the loss of his loved ones.

Afterwards comes “Perfect,” an almost sevenminute long anthem about the struggles of being perfect, but the struggles Posner feels goes deeper than this. To him, it is “perfect” that his mom tells him she is proud of him the same way it is “perfect” for him to open up to someone and still get hurt by them. This song works as the climax of

the album.

“Stuck in the Middle” and “How It’s Supposed to Be” round out the album, tying it all up perfectly as Posner summarizes his thoughts.

“A Real Good Kid” is more like a symphony than an album, and each song is a movement in that symphony.

It all flows together perfectly and expresses all the grief and pain Posner has experienced throughout the last three years and how he has grown, letting all of his fans know that “the day my daddy died, I became a man.”

Payne County Historical Society to present “The Woman’s Hour” Ca i tlin Thom as S taf f R epo rt er @TheCaitT h om as

The Payne County Historical Society wants people to know that women’s suffrage didn’t come easily.

This Sunday, the Historical Society will host “The Women’s Hour,” a presentation celebrating the 100 years since Oklahoma voted to give women the right to vote. Velda Lorenz, a member of the Stillwater League of Women Voters, will talk about the history of women’s suffrage in Oklahoma.

Nani Pybus, president of the Payne County Historical Society, said it FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2019

is not only important, but also interesting to know the history.

“It’s a historical presentation about how women had to fight for the vote,” Pybus said. “And there were people against it, right? The suffragettes, in Oklahoma I believe their color was yellow, and the anti-suffragettes wore red roses. So it’s very interesting to know your history and to see what women did have to go through to get the vote. It didn’t come easily. It took a lot of politicking, as they say.”

Lorenz said the history she will speak about is important because of its impact on the world we live in today.

The Payne County Historical Society will host “The Woman’s Hour” at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Stillwater History Museum.

“Early on, women couldn’t even be on a jury, they couldn’t run for a political office, they couldn’t vote, there were lots of restrictions on what women

were allowed to do,” Lorenz said. “So the fact that our government, both in the state of Oklahoma and nationally, has so many women involved is all be-

cause of all of those people that did all that work for a hundred years and more.”

The presentation will be at the Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar from 2-3 p.m. It will be preceded by a few minutes of Payne County Historical Society membership business and followed by a small reception. Pybus encourages people to come even if they are not members of the Historical Society.

“I think it should be fun, it’s a great group of people,” Pybus said. “This sort of presentation usually draws a very wide-range of people from the community, so it’s nice to see people you know and meet people

you didn’t know before.”

Lorenz said she hopes people will take away more from the event than just some interesting information.

“As far as listening to the talk, I hope it encourages them to go out and read about the long history of women’s suffrage,” Lorenz said. “Because I think it still continues today, the rights of women, and I’m very interested in that. So I hope they are able then to read and learn more.”
