OSU students share thoughts on Trump selecting a new Supreme Court justice before the election By Chloe Morrissey After the passing of supreme court justice Ruth Badger Ginsburg, the question arose: should President Donald Trump elect a new Supreme Court justice before the presidential election? The O’Colly received statements from members who have been involved in College Republicans and College Democrats who shared their opinions on this: Michael Baughman, a junior marketing major at OSU who is a registered Republican: “The tragic death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg shocked the country as we lost a brilliant judicial scholar and a pop culture icon. While I did not agree with a number of her stances, I immensely respected her service to the bench on the highest court in the land. The president however, has a constitutional obligation to fill that vacant seat on the Supreme Court. Since we do not live in a dictatorship, the Senate as well, has a constitutional obligation bestowed by the people to check the president’s power. Many have pointed to Senate majority leader Mitch McConell’s actions in 2016 when President Obama nominated Merrick Garland and Republicans blocked his nomination from getting to a vote. The people elected a Republican Senate during Obama’s last year to check his power. I would say the exact same thing if the people elected a Democrat Senate in 2018. It is all up to who has control of the Senate and the White House. If the country had elected a Democrat Senate and a Republican president, then they would have to negotiate on the pick. The people, right now, want conservative justices on the bench, justices who look at the constitution as set and stone that can only be amended by congress, that is why they elected a Republican Senate and a Republican President.”
Jared A’Latorre
Sam Barron, a senior agriculture business major with a pre-law emphasis and a minor in legal studies at OSU who is a registered Democrat: “In light of the recent passing of progressive Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, all politically-inclined eyes will be trained on the senate and their upcoming confirmation hearings once a nominee is announced, which President Trump said will happen Saturday. With Mitch McConnell leading the Republican controlled senate, progressives fear there is little they can do to stop President Trump from creating the most conservative Supreme Court since the 1950s. Unfortunately, they are correct. Trusting McConnell to conform to his own precedent set in 2016 during the infamous Garland blockade is a fool’s errand. That leaves Democrats with very few options, given that Republicans already have the 51 necessary votes to move to the hearing stage. On one hand, they could continue to call on the preservation of our country’s “norms” as they have throughout Trump’s term. This strategy has yielded little success. On the other hand is a more interesting option. If the House of Representatives were to vote to impeach President Trump a second time, the confirmation process would likely be ground to a near standstill, potentially buying the Democrats enough time to vote Trump out of office. It would be a petty move, but given what’s at stake, it may be the only feasible option left. If I were a House member, I would certainly be urging Speaker Pelosi to do this.”

A new exciting talent has arrived in Stillwater, and it’d be crazy if anyone thought who it might be just seconds before kickoff. LD Brown had nine carries for 63 yards on Saturday against Tulsa. His rushing output shows the Cowboys are already showing that the running back position is strengthening — and quickly. Brown rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns as a redshirt junior in 2019, but he looked a lot better against Tulsa. In a game of sloppy play on offense, nothing was going right. Chuba Hubbard couldn’t get anything going for a while with the Tulsa defensive line swarming the backfield. Hubbard averaged 3.4 yards per carry, with Brown averaging an even seven yards per carry. And his contributions went beyond that. “In pass protection, he stepped up and hit people in the face, when he had the chance to rush the football, he ran extremely hard and he did a really great job with ball security,” Gundy said. “I was thrilled with him, he played better and more aggressive and had more fun in that game than he had in his career here.” Hubbard, who went for a rushing touchdown to start the opening quarter, complimented Brown on his performance. “I’ve said it since day one, our running back group is talented, as you can see, LD is LD,” Hubbard said. Brown was all smiles and credited his teammates when asked about his game last Saturday. “I’m just playing football, that’s what that

is,” Brown said. “Offensive line was creating holes and it’s our job to hit them, so that’s really all there was to it.” On how he could improve his game, even Brown himself thought his way of excelling was unusual. Brown said he’s gotten bigger, playing over 200 pounds, which allowed him to be more phsyical on the field.. But he was in a tough spot trying gain weight in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. The solution was to be in a routine — and repeatedly. “Eat, sleep and really repeat,” Brown said. “Our nutritionists do a good job of watching what we partake into our bodies.” Dillon Stoner, who is one of Brown’s longtime teammates, had nothing but the best of words to say to him. Not only have they been teammates, but they’ve been closer than that ever since their first year of college. “I was so freaking happy for him,” Stoner said. “We came in together, we were roommates freshman year, so to watch him get those opportunities to make the most of it has been really cool to see.” From camp, all the way to now is exactly why people will be seeing more of Brown on the field in the near future. Stoner said Brown has had a great camp and is going to continue to squeeze out all he can from his opportunities. But Brown’s appeal goes beyond that. “If you don’t like LD, then something is wrong with you,” Stoner said. “He is one of the most likeable dudes on the team and everyone respects that guy, so everyone loves to see him be successful on Saturdays.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

COVID-19 update By Ryan Boyce On Sept. 23, Oklahoma’s State Department of Health’s COVID-19 dashboard reported 350 active cases in Payne County with 311 cases coming from Stillwater. No additional deaths were reported. The dashboard reported 12,412 active cases across the state of Oklahoma with an additional 8 deaths from yesterday.
Those numbers bring the total death count in Oklahoma to 970 total deaths over the course of the pandemic. Although the dashboard reported decreases at both the local and state levels, the active case count across the U.S. has consistently risen for the last four weeks. The Oklahoma Department of Health recommends that masks be worn in public places and especially indoor spaces like schools and restaurants.
Avoiding large groups of people and crowded areas is a great way to do your share in stopping the spread of COVID-19.

Taylor's Restaurant changes its dining structure
By Amelia Jáuregui Taylor’s Restaurant at Oklahoma State University offers a unique learning experience for hospitality and tourism majors with new to-go dining structure. There is no denying that COVID-19 has affected every aspect of life in some way. From a normal education experience, to even just sitting in a restaurant, life has changed. Unfortunately, for student’s in the hospitality and tourism department, they’ve been hit with a large obstacle. Silvio Ceschini, professor of this experiential lab, has been making changes to their usual dining plan, to accommodate for current times. “This semester, Taylor’s moved from a traditional selfserved buffet style to an interactive station system similar to what we see in Las Vegas hotels or large resorts but with an extra component: in a to-go setting,” Ceschini said. “With the guidance of the instructors, the students produce, preset and serve the food to patrons from these stations in high qual-
ity to-go microwavable containers.” A large portion of their education and experience comes from interacting with people and serving others, yet the way that restaurant-goers interact with one another in this current environment is very different from what people are used to. However, for Taylor’s Restaurant, students and staff have worked hard to make adjustments that continue to give students hands-on education along with a good customer experience. For those unfamiliar with Taylor’s, it is a student-run restaurant on campus that also serves as an experiential learning lab. Taylor’s serves food from cultures all around the world. Ceschini knows that change is never easy, but it can be used as a learning tool for real world applications. “When we designed this system, the issue was to assure that students still get the educational objectives expected from this course,” said Ceschini. “We believe that this pandemic situation created an opportunity for the
students to see in real-time how to adapt to a crisis management scenario while maintaining all the goals of the operation.” For graduate student and teacher’s assistant Katherine Ruck, COVID-19 has shown first hand the realities of this industry. “Learning to adapt is so important in hospitality and tourism because the world is constantly developing and we have to keep up,” Ruck said. “Our industry is centered around customer satisfaction and trends, so COVID [sic] is giving students a chance to learn how to change with the world.” Although the experience is very different, Ruck is making the most of her teacher’s assistance experience. “Having the opportunity to connect with underclassmen is super fun for me,” said Ruck. “When I was in the Taylor’s lab, the TA’s were super fun and became a huge part of why I enjoyed my degree. Getting to be that for someone else is really fun for me.” entertainment.ed@ocolly.com
THE SOUND OF RAIN! “Elijah was a man just like us...he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.” (Ja.5:17-18 NIV) “...Elijah climbed to the top of (mount) Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. ‘Go and look toward the sea,’ he told his servant. And he went up and looked. ‘There is nothing there,’ he said. Seven times Elijah said, ‘Go back.’ The seventh time the servant reported, ‘A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.’” (1 Ki.18:42-44 NIV) We have to be reminded often that the people mentioned in the Bible were people just like you and me. It is easy to classify them differently because they are mentioned in the Bible, and God worked in a very real way through their lives. After he had told the king that the drought was over, Elijah climbed to the
top of Mt. Carmel and got on his face before God. He was praying. Seven times he sent his servant to look for a sign of rain. I am not sure how this happened, but it seems he would pray and send his servant to look. Nothing! He would pray again and send his servant again until he saw a small cloud to the west. Not only did he believe in prayer, but also in persevering until something happened. Over and over we are encouraged in the Bible to persevere; don’t give up praying. Elijah was a human being like you and me. He prayed until the answer came; the abundance of rain. It came with refreshing and then fruitfulness. Possibly you are praying for a specific need, maybe a greater reality of God; or for God to help in another ’s life. God is not limited in hearing and answering! Let’s not give up until it comes.

Column: Historical examples show mixed bag for shortened Cowgirl season Sam Hutchens An abbreviated training camp and regular season that was essentially halved means that the OSU women’s soccer team is in uncharted territory. Because of COVID-19, uncertainty pervades the 2020 Cowgirl season. In a year with high expectations, the added obstacles will make it harder for OSU to repeat as Big 12 champions. While this soccer season is unlike anything the Cowgirls have experienced before, there are past examples that can be looked at to provide clues as to how the soccer season may go, and which team in the Big 12 — favorites or underdogs — might be most impacted by the season alterations. Since the Cowgirls are defending Big 12 Champions and are expected to do well, I thought I would take a look at how favorites in other sports have done in shortened seasons. A recent example of a shortened came in 2011, at the hands of the NBA. Players and owners were locked into an intense debate when establishing a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. When the CBA was finally agreed upon, the delayed start to the season led to the NBA teams’ schedules being reduced from 82 games to 56. In that reduced regular season NBA slate, the favorites played well. Starstudded teams like the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder were not thrown off by the lack of games and cruised to the playoffs. It was in the playoffs though, that anomalies occurred. The No. 1 overall seed in playoffs, the Chicago Bulls were defeated by the Philadelphia 76ers — a team that had barely secured a winning record — in the opening round. A hypothesis was formed around the loss. The rash of injuries that

happened to the Bulls in the playoffs was pointed to. Significant injuries impacted multiple teams in the playoffs, but the Bulls were especially crippled — losing star players Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. The notion of the reduced season having too many games, which led to fatigue among players, was floated around. While that explanation seems plausible, it hasn’t been proven. Regardless, at least one No. 1 seed — a position the Cowgirls could find themselves in — went home early in a shortened season. here are, however, historical examples where the favorites end up winning it all. In the 1982 NFL season, a strike necessitated a significant reduction of games. The NFL went from a 16-game schedule to nine — a reduction similar in percentage to 2020 cowgirl soccer season. Though the NFL expanded the playoffs to let more teams in, top-tier teams avoided playoff upsets. In fact, three of the top four seeded teams made
the conference championship games, including the No. 1 seed Washington Redskins, who were 8-1 on the year. The playoffs culminated in a 27-17 Redskins Super Bowl victory over the Miami Dolphins. Washington rolled through the postseason, and the 10-point Super Bowl victory was the closest the Redskins came to defeat throughout the entire playoffs. A final example comes from the 2012-2013 NHL season. Keeping with the trend, a labor dispute led to a lockout that extended into the regular season. The NHL played a 48-game schedule instead of the normal 82-game slate. That season was a mixed bag for teams deemed to be superior to their postseason opponents. The No. 1 seeded Chicago Blackhawks, who dominated the regular season, won the Stanley Cup finals. Not all favorites played well though. Both No. 2 seeds, the Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens, were upset in the first round on the playoffs by No. 7 seeds. The fact that both No. 2 seeds — combined record of 59-26 — lost to No. 7
seeds raises questions about a shortened season. Is a vastly reduced slate of games enough of a sample size to separate contenders from pretenders? After all, the 2019 World Series Champion Washington Nationals were just 47-42 at the season’s halfway point. These three historical examples, though all we have to go off of, should be taken with a grain of salt. To extrapolate the results of three professional sports season onto the 2020 Cowgirl soccer season would be reckless. Though significant upsets occurred in two of the above examples, upsets can happen under perfectly normal conditions as well. In conclusion, the examples show a mixed bag of results. The NBA had a favorite bounced early, the NFL’s favorite won the Super Bowl and the NHL had both. Regardless of how much stock you are willing to put into the results of seasons comparable to what Cowgirl soccer currently finds itself in, the lesson for teams of any seed should be to stay prepared. sports.ed@ocolly.com
