Harris in the House OSU students react to first female Vice President Tuesday, November 10, 2020
By Anna Pope
Kamala Harris etched her place in history as the first woman, African-American, and graduate of a historically Black college to be elected vice president of the United States. Some Oklahoma State University students view her election as an overdue milestone welcoming more possibilities of how American leadership can look. Sen. Harris has a record of being the first. In addition to her recent success, she is the first woman and Black person to serve as district attorney of San Francisco, the first woman and person of color to be California’s attorney general, the first Black senator from California, and the first person of South Asian descent to serve in the U.S. Senate. Construction Engineering Technology freshman Alejandra Lozano said seeing Harris assume the second highest office in the country is an encouragement to women, especially women of color, to aspire to their full potential.
“It shows our country is moving more toward inclusion,” Lozano said. “To show the world that we can have diversity in politics and diversity on the world stage, showing that yes, we are diverse and that’s what makes our country great.” One hundred years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote and before the 2020 election, a female vice president was only in theory. Veterinary Senior Laura Edwards said it is a long time coming but is still inspiring to have a woman be vice president. “For us (the general public) to see this woman that has come so far and whose parents have come so far and to actually be accepted as the vice president is just so exciting,” Edwards said. Edwards said electing a woman of color in the nation’s second-highest office is not only a gratifying moment for women but for all Americans. However, she says she worries this progression will have backlash during the next election because not everything is going to be solved in four years. Graphic by Maddison Farris

“My favorite part of this weekend is getting to hear countless stories from all of the residents saying how much they appreciate everything that we do,” Sawatzky said. “It is very fulfilling to know that all of the hard work planning the event truly pays off in the end.” Especially in 2020, planning an event during this time is a challenge within itself. For Lizzie Schneider, chair of the sponsorship committee, the added difficulties and precautions made the success even more memorable.
“Although everyone was physically distant, I saw people come together in ways that I don’t think could be achieved except through service,” Schneider said. “Yes, our goal is to serve the elderly of our community by helping to clean up their yards, but the personal benefit is also amazing. In these somewhat dreary times, Into the Streets allowed us to share some joy with the Stillwater community.” While it seems that many businesses had been hit with the pandemic, the support for
COVID-19 update By Ryan Boyce
On Monday, the Oklahoma State Department of Health’s COVID-19 dashboard reported 396 active cases in Payne County with 271 coming from Stillwater. No additional deaths were reported from yesterday. At the state level, the dashboard reported an increase in active cases to a new total of 20,129 with 6 additional deaths from yesterday. This brings the death toll to 1,444 over the course of the pandemic in Oklahoma. To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and promote public health, the CDC website recommends frequent handwashing, social distancing of at least six feet, and the use of masks. According to the CDC website, COVID-19 can spread even before symptoms show up, so caution is always advised.
the community, whether verbally or monetarily, did not falter. “These are tough times but as a sponsorship executive, I was extremely proud of how helpful and supportive the community continued to be,” Schneider said. “We were able to rely on all the consistent donations we usually need in order for the event to be a success. And it definitely was a success.” Freshman Jenna Williams also found this event to be more than just another service
opportunity, but a chance to get to know others better while making an impact on her new community. “I loved getting to work together with my team to accomplish this huge yard that was completely covered in leaves and getting to see how happy the lady was who we had the opportunity to help,” Williams said. “I would recommend Into the Streets because it is a great way for us college students to give back to the Stillwater community and serve others.”

Cowboys using bye week to get healthy and staying on schedule Chris Becker Despite the team looking flat for the first half and small mistakes being made, coach Mike Gundy is sticking to a normal bye week routine this week. Oklahoma State’s offense scored only 13 points in its win over Kansas State, but injuries on that side of the ball riddled the Cowboys of a lot of fire power. With a much needed bye week before traveling to take on rival Oklahoma, OSU is taking this week to rest and get healthy.
“Well, in open weeks we’ll get about half a day of practice on just fundamentals and basic football techniques, we’ll work a little on the upcoming opponent in the middle and the ladder part of the week and then we’ll get the young guys who haven’t gotten as many reps on game day,” Gundy said. “We get them a lot of work, so we can use it as a developmental week.” Despite the lackluster offensive showing in the first half, OSU made the needed adjustments mid-game and will now have the week to continue to hone other aspects of the offense. However, despite the adjustments OSU made that led to the comeback win, Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said
his team played well and took a lot of good things away from the game. “I thought they did some nice things,” Klieman said. “We played really well in the first half and in the third quarter we couldn’t get out of our own way. We couldn’t get a first down on offense and gave them some short fields, we missed a couple of tackles and that allowed a couple of explosive runs, which you can’t give Oklahoma State. We still played pretty dang well even in the third quarter.” “You hold that offense to 13 points, that’s a pretty dang good effort on defense.” Part of the problem for the OSU offense is up front on the offensive line where the injuries keep piling up. So much so that left guard Josh Sills moved to
left tackle for the game against Kansas State. Sills didn’t play his best, but Gundy understands that moving from guard to tackle isn’t as easy as it may seem to the outsider. “He can play better and he knows that,” Gundy said. “He was thrown into the fire during the game last week and we had two real practices last week then we went and played a game. Those aren’t positions you just jump out there and have as much success as people would think because the stance is different, your weight balance in your stance is different and your footwork is different on the edge than it is inside.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Likekele, Cunningham's return to Arlington
Marcus Trevino Oklahoma State basketball is two weeks away and there will be plenty of storylines throughout the season. Here are a few under the radar moments Cowboy fans have to look forward to in the near and not-so-near future. Likekele and Cunningham’s return to Arlington OSU announced the men’s basketball team will be on the road to take on UT-Arlington for the season opener. Isaac Likekele and Cade Cunningham grew up in Arlington, Texas. Cunningham transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida prior to his junior year, but Likekele stayed all four years and led his school to a state championship. Cunningham said he’s sad the arena won’t be packed with his
hometown crowd but is excited to return nonetheless. “I want my family to be there,” Likekele said. “It’s going to feel good going home.” Avery Anderson’s development Avery Anderson III proved himself to be a solid, young guard in OSU’s lineup last year. Coach Mike Boynton added guards Ferron Flavors Jr. and Bryce Williams in the offseason via transfer to an already deep position group. Boynton said although his minutes won’t be as high as the others, he expects to have an important role for Anderson this year. “He’s by far the most dynamic defender (between himself, Likekele and Cunningham),” Boynton said. “If he can come in, extend the floor and make it really hard for other teams to get an offense . . . he’ll have a tremendous value for us.” Boynton also said the competitiveness in practice will make Anderson a better player
and prepare him to potentially be the team’s leading point guard in the future. Rondel Walker’s defense A basketball recruit must be a good defender if they want to play for Boynton’s Cowboys. Being one-dimensional isn’t going to work. So it’s not shocking to hear Rondel Walker, the No. 12 high school point guard in the nation, is a good defender. However, it is shocking when Boynton said the freshman may already be the best defender on the team. Dee Mitchell said it’s Walker’s mindset and outright talent that separates him. “You have to be willing to play defense,” Mitchell said. “A lot of guys can play defense. but they don’t look forward to it. I feel like Rondel looks forward to playing defense. His size, his length, his speed and his quickness are good attributes for him.”

ACTIVE FAITH! (Part #2) “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.” (Heb.11: NIV) These Ancients of the Bible were commended for their faith. “Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.” (Gen.6:9 NIV) He believed God existed and God rewarded those who diligently sought him. His faith brought immediate action. (Heb.11:8) He did not put the building of the ark on a long “to do” list. It took 100 years to build. During that time he constantly spoke of the judgement that was coming. (2 Pet.2:5) This was the situation in Noah’s day. How about our day? Do we believe God exists? To so many, God is something of the past; one you give an hour or so every Sunday morning, because of tradition, but he does not truly count
for much in life. So this moves us to turn to things that have only temporary pleasure, and build our life activities around them. Noah and others mentioned in Heb. 11, were looking for something lasting, something God had promised. They realized they were strangers and pilgrims; living here for a short time. They were living for something better. (Heb.11:13-16) It is so worthwhile to read and reread the New Testament and consider what was the hope of the early Christian leaders; they passed on to all the believers. It was not centered in this present life. They were “running a race;” living a life centered in the example of Jesus himself, and in those who walked with him during his earthly life. We can do the same; live for the eternal, present ourselves to Christ, and let him use us to bear lasting fruit.
