Artist brings African Exhibit to Stillwater Brandon H av e n s Sta f f r ep o rt e r @ O C o l ly
The Student Union Atrium recently gained a 25-foot long tapestry, lent from the
OSU Museum of Art. Artist Olaniyi Akindiya, who goes by AKIRASH, made the tapestry as part of his art exhibit being displayed in the OSU Museum of Art. The show, titled Wakati: Time Shapes African Art, merges ancient African art techniques with contemporary art. The main art piece at the exhibit is made from cardboard boxes that were collected from homeless people. “The museum is doing a good job of getting artists to this place,” AKIRASH
said. “This art, you interact with it.” The tapestry in the Student Union is an attempt to capture students’ attention. OSU Allied Arts wants to increase students’ awareness of visual arts on campus and in the community, said Brandon Mitts, special events coordinator of Allied Arts. “What we try to do is use our space to expose students to art,” Mitts said. “We want students to know what’s going on and be a directional device to direct them to the different art galleries.”
Brandon Haven/O’COLLY Artist AKIRASH’s exhibit, titled Wakati: Time Shapes African Art, will be on display in the OSU Museum of Art until Jan. 16. Admission is free and open to the public.
Brandon Haven/O’COLLY The 25-foot long tapestry in the Student Union was made by artist Olaliyi Akindiye, who goes by AKIRASH. The tapestry will stay there until mid-January.
AKIRASH was born in Lagos, Nigeria and majored in biochemistry until he discovered his passion for art, according to ro2art.com. He studied at the Institute of Textile Technology, Arts and Design at Lagos State in Nigeria. He graduated in 1996. In 2000, he founded ARTWITHAKIRASH, a nonprofit organization that contributes to developing communities. He performs worldwide and has won numerous awards and grants. Matt Williams, a sociology senior, said he likes the
tapestry. “I agree it’s a good way to get people to come see the exhibit because when you give students a piece, they want to see more,” Williams said. “I like getting a piece of the art exhibit because I can’t always make it to the exhibit, so it’s nice to have one piece where I can see it.” The tapestry will hang in the Student Union until midJanuary, when the exhibit at the Museum of Art will end, Mitts said. AKIRASH encourages students and members of the community to visit the
exhibit. “After I leave, you can’t see this art anymore,” AKIRASH said. “You should come to it. ... It’s only a few minutes downtown.” The Wakati exhibit will be on display until Jan. 16. Admission is free, and the museum is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The exhibit is in the OSU Museum of Art at 720 S. Husband.

OSU student develops competitive fitness app
Jacob Widstrom Sta ff Rep o rt e r @ o c o l ly
An Oklahoma State student made headlines last year when he created an app that has more than 5,000 downloads on the Google Play Store. Marcus Gabilheri, a computer science junior, created a fitness app, FitHub, for OSU’s app contest last year, when he took first place and the $4,000 prize. The app allows those who have wearable workout devices, such as Android Wear or FitBit, to track their data in one place and compete in games with friends. The idea came to Marcus because he had a Fitbit and an Android wearable and wanted to compare the two trackers. Gabilheri said he put the money he won toward investing in development.
“I bought a new laptop and different fitness trackers for the app,” Gabilheri said. “It got a lot of popularity from the Google contest, but there are still more things I want to work on before putting it out there.” Gabilheri is working on a FitHub app for the iPhone that will be available by the end of the semester. “There’s no point in having you be able to compete with your friends if you’re limited by the type of phone you use,” Gabilheri said. Gabilheri is a native of Brazil and came to America after meeting his wife, Carissa Gabilheri, who is also an OSU student. Marcus said he liked computers and did computer maintenance while living in Brazil. “I decided to learn programming while I went through the application process for my green card,” Gabilheri said. “It is more rewarding and more fun.” Earlier this year, Gabilheri entered FitHub in a Google app contest, which required contestants to create an app, or update an existing one, that uses GoogleFit. Judges looked for fitness apps that are innovative, fun to use
and offer real benefit, among other criteria. Gabilheri was one of 12 grand prize winners. Gabilheri has also developed a few other apps, one he was most proud of was his Inbox Dashclock Extension app. The app allows viewers to access their inbox app more easily and allows an unread count for the user’s Gmail. “I use the app, but wanted to know how many unread emails there were,” Gabilheri said. “This was about two afternoon’s work of code.” Gabilheri said he has many apps that he hasn’t put into the store because they were only designed for fun or helped him learn a new concept. The apps he does release are because he’s fulfilling a need. Gabilheri works as a developer for the OSU Plants & Soil Sciences department. He works on OSU’s app Canopeo, which is used to quantify the percent canopy cover of live green vegetation for agricultural crop, turf or grassland based on downward-facing photos taken with a mobile device. Gabilheri explained
Kayla Hodgin/O’COLLY
Marcus Gabilheri created an app, Fithub, for OSU’s app contest last year and won first place.
OSU recently got another grant, which will fund the Fieldcaster project. Fieldcaster will be an app that uses weather data and soil moisture to help make the predicted yield from the Canopeo app more accurate. Gabilheri also is the founder and organizer of the Google Developers Group. He described this organization as a workshop for professional developers. “I tried to give it as a lecture, but that didn’t work,” Gabilheri said. “No one wants to come after class and another person talk.”
The Google Developers Group recently hosted an event and taught a group of students how to make a magic eight ball app. Gabilheri explained and demonstrated how to make the app. “After a few hours, the students left and they had an app they made and could show off to their friends,” Gabilheri said. Two of Gabilheri’s friends participated in the GDG event in September. “I learned about new libraries, which is always good when you get more experience,” said Max Short,
a computer science senior. “He’s a good programmer. He gets things done.” Aaron Weaver, a computer science senior, said he admires Gabilheri’s dedication to teach people. “It’s bold,” Weaver said. “Jumping into the community and wanting to change things is extremely courageous.” Gabilheri hopes to get an internship with Google and gain experience before graduating from OSU in 2017. news@ocolly.com

Q&A: New OSU softball COACH gajewski talks transition to osu
Jose Bouquett S p ort s R ep o rt e r @josebouquett
On adjustment to OSU “Man, it’s been awesome. Finally feels like we got our feet on the
ground. Feels a lot like home. We’re doing good. Family is doing good. Our coaching staff and their families are doing good. I think everyone is finally getting to where this is good. Feels like home.” What he likes about the team “Shoot, I think with our team, I’m loving their effort. That’s one thing we talk to them about. We talk to them about that no matter what, every day, we’re going to bring the same effort. They’ve been above and beyond what I
thought we were going to get, to tell you the truth. When you come into a team or program that hasn’t had a lot of success here in a while you’re kind of concerned about team chemistry and things like that. We haven’t had any issues like that. It’s actually been the complete opposite. I just love the way they’re together, and I love the effort that they bring each day. I just Jose Bouquett/O’COLLY love the fact that they’re Kenny Gajewski, a former Oklahoma baseball player, willing to be coached.” became Oklahoma State’s softball coach in June.
Expectations for 2016 “Expectation-wise, you know I expect us to
play well. I don’t know any other way. I mean, I told our girls from day
one, we’re not going to lower our standards. STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 8

Kenny Gajewski is looking to bring his championship pedigree to Stillwater. The new coach of the Oklahoma State softball team joined the program in June, the same month he, as an
assistant coach, helped the Florida Gators win their second straight national championship. A former University of Oklahoma baseball player, Gajewski spoke with the O’Colly after one of the Cowgirls’ fall games to talk about his adjustment to orange and black, the difficulties of being a new coach and what it’ll be like coaching against his alma mater.

We’re gonna come in here and expect to win every game, and if we don’t win, we are going to go back to the drawing board and figure out why, and we’ll coach it up, and we’ll see how we’re going to do the next day. My expectations are for this team to come out and play their tails off every day and to give this school everything they’ve got every day. My expectations are we’re going to have great crowds here that are going to feed off our energy and success, and I know being in this conference
before, I know what Oklahoma State means to people here. I know that they respect hard work, kids that are playing hard and having fun, and you know if we do that kind of stuff, which is what I expect, my expectations are high.” On freshmen who will make an impact this year “Shoot, we got some good freshman, and they’re all gonna play. We’ve got Taylor Lynch, who’s going to see good time in our infield. We’ve got Madi Sue Montgomery, who’s gonna play in our infield and our outfield some. We’ve
got another kid called Asea Webber, who’s an Oklahoma kid. She’s gonna see time in our outfield; she’s a lefthanded bat. We’ve got Berkley Faulkner, who’s a freshman, as well. She’ll catch some and give our other kid a break. I’ve just learned that you need to catch two kids, so those two kids are gonna get a ton of reps, a ton of games, a ton of at-bats.
