Union garage getting makeover Evan Kiley @OColly The Student Union parking garage is getting a new look, but it’s losing some of its capacity.

When the garage is completed, it will have 40 fewer spots, said Mitch Kilcrease, Student Union director.

But he doesn’t think the cut will be too serious.

“There will be no noticeable difference in the number of spots,” he said.

Permit prices and hourly fees won’t change during or after construction.

The overall goal of the project is to renovate the garage’s look, making it more appealing to visitors and parents, Kilcrease said.

And the more people to park, the better. The garage’s revenue goes back into the Union to pay for electricity and other charges, Kilcrease said.

Money from the garage can help cover some of

the Union’s costs and keep them away from students.

The parking garage updates will create design continuity on campus.

They will feature construction of a bricked facade like the garage’s neighbors, The Atherton Hotel and Student Union.

The renovation will also give the parking garage wrought iron accents.

In addition to superficial improvements, the garage is going to see some structural improvements.

It’s getting a new ramp leading to the lower level of the parking garage, and the upper deck will be redeveloped and paved over with new cement.

In 2012, the Union received $65 million for renovation, which included funds for neighboring Atherton Hotel and the parking garage south of the Union. The hotel’s improvement funds are going to electrical and plumbing projects.

This summer marked the beginning of projects on the hotel and garage.

Some students and resi-

dents might worry construction will cause traffic, Kilcrease said. But OSU and Lambert Construction Co., the company heading the project, have

worked together to ensure construction is done after regular school hours and at times that don’t conflict with student and visitors activities.

Scheduling well can’t prevent all contruction issues.

The mid-level parking garage — aligned with the basement of the Ather-

ton — will be closed six to seven months at some point, Kilcrease said. news@ocolly.com

Cowgirls ground the Flyers Nicklaus Ramsey @NickRamsey32

A long home stint can help any team, especially the Oklahoma State Cowgirls.

OSU finished off its extensive home stretch against the Dayton Flyers on Sunday, winning 2-0.

In typical Cowgirl fashion, the first goal found the net early in the first half when Laurene Tresfield scored from an Anna Beffer corner. The goal occurred 63 seconds into the match. It is the fastest goal scored all year for the Cowgirls.

“Yeah, not satisfied but pleased,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said. “We are getting better.”

Late in the first half, Courtney Dike chased a pass into the box and was tripped up by the goalkeeper.

Carmichael explained the complex situation.

“The keeper tried to make a play on the ball, but we felt like she missed the ball and took Dike,” Carmichael said. “The official said he had the better angle and waved it off.”

The Cowgirls (6-6, 1-0 Big 12) came out in the second half with an offensive mindset. In the 48th minute, Beffer scored from 6 yards out, assisted

by Courtney Dike. It was Beffer’s second goal on the season and the freshman has showed no signs of nerves.

Laurene Tresfield (right) scored 63 seconds into Sunday’s match, the Cowgirls’ fastest goal this season.

“I just want to do what I can to play for them and I do what I can to lead on the field,” Beffer said.

“I try to do what I can do to help and be a leader on the team.”

The Cowgirls’ defense allowed two goals over a six-game home winning streak. During this streak, junior Delaney Kiely was key, for she matched up against opposing teams’

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2014

more dominant offensive weapons.

The harsh heat Sunday greatly affected the Cowgirls defense, which resulted in several substitutions throughout the game.

“No question, we knew it was hot and more (concerning) than the minutes our kids had to play on Friday,” Carmichael said.

“We figured that Sunday

was going to be that way.

(Dayton) didn’t have a Friday game, so we just wanted to come out fresh.”

The rest worked for the Cowgirls, who felt the heat immediately.

“Playing game after game, back to back is pretty tough, and we needed subs,” defender Natalie Calhoun said. “It definitely affected me in the first half. I was gassed

O’COLLY

in the first half, and taking a break was nice.”

The Cowgirls finished off their home stretch a perfect six wins and zero losses, allowing only two goals and scoring nine.

They go to Kansas and Texas Tech this Friday and Sunday and return home to face Texas Christian University on Oct. 10. sports@ocolly.com

OSU to host gubernatorial, senate debate Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k

COURTESY OF WIKI COMMONS

Oklahoma State University will host both a gubernatorial and a senatorial debate as part of the OSU Debate Series: Decision 2014.

Oklahoma gubernatorial candidates — incumbent Republican Mary Fallin and Democrat challenger Joe Dorman — will debate at 7 p.m. Oct. 2 in the OSU Student Union Theater.

Both candidates are graduates of OSU. “I’m looking forward to an opportunity to share my positive vision for Oklahoma with a statewide audience,” said Gov. Fallin in a press release. “My thanks go out to OSU, OETA and the League of Women Voters for organizing an event that

will allow Oklahomans to compare and contrast their candidates for governor. It will be a spirited and fun event.”

Dorman made similar remarks in the release.

“I appreciate every opportunity to visit my alma mater and I am very pleased for this to serve as the first debate on the issues and policies facing Oklahomans,” he said.

“I firmly believe in the importance of civic engagement and dialogue in the election process. This will serve as the perfect avenue for Oklahoma voters to learn the differences in the candidates through a civil, spirited discussion. ” A panel of Oklahoma journalists, including OETA Managing Editor Dick Pryor, will ask the gubernatorial candidates questions.

OETA, a partner in the

debates, will air the debate live across the state and stream it online at www. oeta.tv.

U.S. Senate candidates Connie Johnson, Democrat, and James Lankford, Republican, will face off in the Student Union Theater Oct. 7 at 7 p.m.

Dr. Brandon Lenior, a visiting assistant professor in political science at OSU, will moderate the debates.

“Not only are the debates providing a wonderful community service, they also serve as a teaching opportunity for my students,” Lenoir said in the release. “By hosting these debates we are hopefully generating interest in the 2014 elections that will translate into a lifetime of political engagement.”

Both events are scheduled to last one hour and will also be streamed live at www. okstate.edu.

Viewers are encouraged to get involved in the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #okvotes14.

“The debate provides our students and the residents of Oklahoma a wonderful opportunity to hear each candidate’s vision for the state,” OSU President Burns Hargis said in a press release. news@ocolly.com Up Next

Column: Students owe the state votes Catherine Sweeney @CathJSweeney

Before you start complaining about how much coverage the O’Colly is giving the gubernatorial debate throughout the week, let us tell you why we’re pushing it.

Students at Oklahoma State are obligated to head to the polls in November.

We could write up some lofty opus about the beauty of democracy, about how our right to vote was bought and paid for by the blood

of patriots. We could talk about how women, AfricanAmericans and American Indians had to fight a century later for their right to vote.

We could talk about how sitting on the couch watching Netflix instead of voting is like spitting in the face of those who sacrificed.

We won’t because we know it doesn’t matter.

But you don’t get to complain unless you vote.

At the end of the day, as students of one of Oklahoma’s best institutions of learning, we owe it to the state to vote.

The governor should

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2014

be chosen by an educated electorate.

We have more of an opportunity to be educated than almost anyone in Oklahoma. We get more civics than the bare minimum high school has to offer. Our professors push us to think critically and read before forming an opinion.

Less than 32 percent of working-age Oklahomans get this experience, according to statistics released but the Lumina Foundation.

The rest of that population, people aged 25 to 64, receive less than an associate’s degree.

If Oklahoma is going to

stop being at the bottom of every good list and at the top of every bad one, educated people need to choose the leaders.

Oklahoma State University is giving its students that chance. The school is cutting out the middle man. You don’t have to pore over the candidates’ campaign pages. You don’t have to Google them. You don’t even have to follow them on Twitter. Just sit in the Union for a while and become more educated on the candidates than most of the state.

Cowgirls go perfect in homestand Doug Thompson @ocollysports

Oklahoma State coach Colin Carmichael’s team came into its stretch of six straight home games winless.

Now, it is an even 6-6.

With a 2-0 win against Dayton, the Cowgirls are as hot as ever and sit at the third spot in the Big 12 standings. Not quite the position many thought this team would be in after their dismal start.

Clearly the Cowgirls are a completely different team at home. In their first six games they were

outscored 12-6.

In their last six, they have a scoring advantage of 8-2.

“I am really proud, especially with how things started, just really proud to be back,” Carmichael said.

This string of home games was crucial for this team. Going into the first game of the homestead against Cal Poly on Sept.

12, the team’s confidence was critically low, and it was in desperate need of hope.

That is what the home games were able to provide for them.

“You are just in your comfort zone,” Carmichael said. “You are

sleeping in your own bed, you’re not on buses or hotels, playing on the field you train on every week, and your hometown fans are cheering you on.

“Those things combined just give everyone a boost.”

Playing in Stillwater has also been a huge boost to the players.

“Getting those six wins just really helped the team,” starting forward Anna Beffer said. “It is just really fun to win and want to play for one another.

“We keep getting better each game, and I am really excited to see everything come together.”

Friday’s game is on

the road against No. 18 Kansas, which is 11-1 on the year and one of the best teams in the country.

Two days later, OSU will face No. 6 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.

Coming off six straight home games, there couldn’t be a tougher test for the Cowgirls, and Carmichael is all too aware of that.

“Going back on the road presents some new challenges ... going into KU will be very difficult, but we are confident,” Carmichael said.

The Cowgirls will return home the following week to play TCU on Oct. 10. sports@ocolly.com

Environmental club aims to build legacy

ELIZABETH SHAFER/O’COLLY

Nick Jacobson, a biosystems senior, helps break up the dirt at Sangre Ridge outdoor classroom to lay sod for the environmental club.

Bailey Powell @OColly Water.

We drink it. We’re 70 percent made of it. We clean with it. We even use it to sustain our crops.

But what if it were all used up or contaminated?

Environmental Sciences Club officers Thomas Moore and Sarah-Kate Hudson take this question to heart.

As children, both Hud-

son and Moore spent their time in the sun, and both found their passion for the environment while on vacation.

For Hudson, the club’s undergraduate president, her breakthrough moment was in Maui, Hawaii.

“I climbed this lava rock,” she said. “When I got up to the top and I looked out … It was just absolutely breathtaking. I realized that this is what I want to do.”

Hudson started a biology major, but realized that her love of the waters

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2014

compelled her to protect them. This led her into environmental sciences.

Although Hudson found her path through the beauty of nature, Moore found his through the struggle of poverty.

“I think what drove me to environmental science was going on mission trips”, Moore said. “Going to these places — especially Mexico — that didn’t have clean drinking water.”

They recognized our need for water, although perhaps for different uses.

We need more water

than ever, Moore said.

And in places where they do have enough, that water is becoming contaminated.

Hudson agreed, but she focuses on how polluted water affects ocean and lake life.

Because they are graduating this year, both are trying to make an impact.

The Environmental Sciences Club is open to anyone who is interested in environmental sciences, including non-majors. The purpose is to allow likeminded people a chance to get together and make a

O’COLLY

difference.

Last year, Environmental Sciences Club worked to clean up lakes around the area, held educational sessions within the group and reached out with booths at Earth Day. With the largest turnout to date, both presidents are looking to expand past their previous service projects and get back to what the club was created for. They want students to be able to come up with eco-friendly ideas and have a group behind them to help push those ideas

into reality.

Both Moore and Hudson have the reality of the real world to take into account as well.

Moore will finish up in May and head to Georgia to be with his fiancée and hopefully work on consulting projects while there.

Heading the other direction, Hudson wants to go to Alaska.

There she plans to scuba dive for research and earn her masters in environmental science. news@ocolly.com PAGE 6

Peterson uses experience to help young corner Annice McEwan @annicemcewan

The situation inside Boone Pickens Stadium during Thursday’s game was a far cry from what it had been only two years ago.

What was once a seasoned defensive unit now had only glimmers of any real Division-I experience.

Yet, there was an odd sense of familiarity that came with the Big 12 opener for junior Kevin Peterson.

After fellow starting cornerback Ashton Lampkin left the game with a right ankle injury, defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer was left with no other option than to put in freshman backup Ramon Richards.

It was a “baptism by fire,” as Spencer would later put it.

“When those guys are out there, you got to protect them sometimes,” Spencer said. “So I’ve got to do a good job of calling a game until they get their feet on the ground …

They’re on an island most of the time, unless I help them with a call.”

As Richards entered the game, Peterson said he knew exactly how Richards felt.

True, Peterson’s first collegiate appearance came in the 2012 season opener against Savannah State, but he wanted to make sure Richards knew one thing before he lined up.

“Don’t get nervous,” Peterson said. “You out there playing and just like they’re on scholarship, you’re on scholarship.

They go through practice every day just like you go through practice every day. We’re just playing a game. You do what you can do.”

In his limited action against Savannah State, Peterson recorded one assisted tackle.

It was nothing compared to Richards, who had his first collegiate interception in the second quarter.

But despite the turnover, Peterson said Richards told him he was disappointed in his performance.

Richards’ concern was a chance for Peterson to reflect on his own experience.

“I told Ramon, I was worse than that,” Peterson said. “They were airing me out every play. Coach ( Jason) Jones, who’s at Ole Miss right now, he used to get on my butt every play.”

It wasn’t what Peterson was used to.

As a standout player from Wagoner, Peterson said the speed and quality of opponents took him a while to adjust.

Peterson’s playing time steadily increased after the Savannah State game.

Despite having cornerbacks Justin Gilbert and Broderick Brown ahead of him, Peterson was able to wedge his way onto the field.

He even earned a start against Baylor in the regular season finale.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2014

Kevin Peterson (left) is one of the leaders on the defense in addition to being one of the top playmakers.

By 2013, Peterson had established himself as a starter, ending the season with 24 tackles and six pass breakups.

Nothing like the freshman who took the field two seasons ago.

Peterson’s growth and game experience has helped mold him into one of the team’s central playmakers. Through four games, Peterson has recorded 11 solo tackles and one interception this season, but his role

for the defense extends far beyond wide receiver coverage.

With so much game experience, Peterson remains a level head for younger players, who are in abundance this season.

“When everything’s getting bad, you kind of have to look to (your teammates) and say, ‘Aye, everything’s going to be OK,’” Peterson said. “You got to play a lot of snaps.”

Perhaps it’s that calm demeanor Peterson brings

O’COLLY

to the field that allows his younger teammates to feel comfortable enough to make plays.

Now, as a junior, Peterson remains humble about the influence he has on the team, even telling Richards something that could just have easily applied to that shellshocked freshman from Wagoner.

“I told him he’s going to be really good in the future, he’s just got to use every year to get better,”

Tip: Avoid the Colvin’s peak hours Will Tracy @OColly

Many students are painfully aware of how crowded the Colvin Center can get.

It can be difficult to get a good workout when you’re having a hard time finding a machine to use.

Kent Bunker, director of the Department of Wellness, is responsible for overseeing facilities and programs.

He said peak hours of use at the Colvin occur Monday through Thursday from 4-9 p.m.

If attempting a workout

during that time, it’s likely you’ll end up standing around waiting for your turn rather than getting the exercise that you’re there for.

“The obvious solution is for users to change their daily schedules and plan their workouts during other hours of operation,” Bunker said.

With 22,000 different visitors spending time at the Colvin in 2011, Bunker’s solution calls on students to play their part in alleviating the congestion.

The Colvin opens at 5:30 a.m. and closes at midnight on weekdays, which allows students the opportunity to exercise at

virtually any hour of the day.

With such a large number of visitors comes the power to reduce overall congestion by scheduling workouts during different times. news@ocolly.com The Colvin Center

Hours: Weekdays: 5:30 a.m. to midnight Saturdays: 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Sundays: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

CAITLYN MINTON/O’COLLY

Kent Bunker said the Colvin’s peak hours are 4-9 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

ONE GREAT BLESSING! “Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.” (Ps.32:1-2 NIV) This scripture is quoted by the apostle in the New Testament.

(Ro.4:7-8) What a tremendous blessing and peace to know that your sins, yours and mine, which aare many, will never be counted against us at the final judgment. It is clear from the Bible that it is appointed to men once to die and after that is the judgment. How can this great blessing be ours?

In the same Psalm, verses 3-5, we see a man weighed down with the knowledge of his sinfulness, yet trying to cover it, making excuses so that he can forget and not deal with his sins. Finally, he “comes clean” and honestly admits all. What happens? God freely forgives all. I believe that is why “in whose spirit is no deceit” is mentioned above.

When we aare without deceit, without guile, we are actually getting honest in our inward parts and are willing to admit our sinfulness to God. The Bible speaks of an honest and good heart. (Lu.8:15) This kind of heart will produce good fruit.

A person without guile is not always making excuses and trying to deceive himself and others. When he faces the truth squarely, admits he is guilty before God, it sets the stage for full forgiveness.

God can truly and fully forgive us because his Son, Jesus, took the penalty for fo our sins. As we honestly come to God with no “cover up,” admit our need and put our trust in Christ as God’s way of salvation, God freely forgives. Our conscience is clear and we can begin a new life in fellowship with the almighty.

This is the way to find peace

with God!

Chi-O Wish Week wraps up

By NICK CONSENTINO Staff Writer

philanthropy with fun in order to spread awareness for nonprofit foundations. This year the sorority partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network, with all proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Although the formerly weeklong event was shortened to three days by the Pan Hellenic Greek Counsel, Sakib Hossain, fire protection and safety technology sophomore of Sigma Pi, said the sorority still raised about $4,700.
