Hundred-degree weather was shattered by a rainstorm hitting Edmon Low Library Lawn on Thursday.

Students left their umbrellas at home and welcomed the down-pour of water from the fire truck hose, just as much as ALS Associa-tion will appreciate the drops of money do-nated to the cause.

The ALS Association is a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and research money for ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

After a challenge by Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis, students dominated the Ice Bucket Challenge. This ALS fundraiser has gone viral, and it’s the hottest thing on social media right now. OSU students raised $800 for the cause and chal-lenged Florida State University.

“I got challenged this morning,” sophomore Sophie Gibson said. “The timing couldn’t be more perfect, and it’s so

hot, I think I’m going to enjoy getting cooled off. Plus there is no ice, so it won’t be too bad.”

Hundreds of students joined thousands of ice-bucket beaters, which have included Bill Gates, Mark Zuck-erberg and OSU coach Mike Gundy. Since June, the challenge has since raised $42 mil-lion — more than nine times as much as usual. Facebook and Twitter pages crowded with challenges and accep-tances continue to raise awareness about ALS.

ALS damages motor neurons in the brain that controls muscle movement. This causes the muscles to not be able to work, and over time, the muscles dete-riorate from not being used. Most often ALS affects those ages 40 to 60 years old. The aver-age lifespan of some-one diagnosed with ALS is three years, said Aaron Lukaszewski, assistant professor of psychology.

With 15 cases a day diagnosed, ALS is a challenge to be over-come. Bucket by bucket and dollar by dollar, being crazy is paying

off.“There’s been criti-

cism that it’s kind of gimmicky,” said Gary Shutt, OSU communi-cations director. “How can you argue with raising over $30 mil-lion in a few weeks? I don’t see, really, how you can complain about what the initia-tive has done. It’s raised awareness and a lot of money for research.”

Like pop culture normally does, this chilling challenge has trickled down from the celebrities to the “com-mon man” and is still going strong on social media.

“I normally don’t participate in stuff like this,” junior Drew Smith said. “Coinci-dentally though, my cousin just challenged me yesterday and I think it’s going to feel like you just jumped from a hot tub to a pool.”

Prepared to drip-dry the a mile walk back home, junior Jon Gill said, “It felt like I was taking a shower… outside … in public … with my clothes on.”

‘Goat Squad’ keeps Stillwater greenCaele

Pemberton

@CaelePemberton

Have you “herd” about the Goat Squad?

The City of Stillwater has been letting goats eat on city grass since 2011. The program is designed to save the city money and clean up areas of city lawn mowers can’t reach, said Blake Schaich, multimedia technician for the city. The goats cost about $1,650 altogether.

The program started with the city borrowing goats from Langston Uni-versity, which has a similar program, Schaich said. After the first year, the city decided to start buying its own goats.

The squad has been at Myers Park since early July. Later this week, Brad Eads with fields services and his crew will load up

been cut three times, Eads said. The goats don’t run away, though. Instead, Eads has found them wait-ing by the shed or near the park.

“That’s what kills me,” Eads said. “Once they have their territory, they know that’s where they’re sup-posed to be.”

People can walk up to the fence and pet the goats, but the city asks that people not feed them.

The squad has a Face-book page, City of Still-water Goat Squad, with 953 likes. People can find the names to some of the goats in the photos, like Parker, who was born over the summer. Jackie Lee said the page helps her stay updated on where the goats will be.

“If (people) drive by and see a bunch of goats, this is why we have the goats out here,” Schaich said.

the 25 goats and move them to Ingham Park.

The goats have person-alities, Eads said. They’re generally friendly and act just like pets.

“They want you to pet on them and scratch them, and if you go pull leaves off the tree they’ll eat that through the fence,” Eads said.

Jackie Lee and her hus-band, Leon, who live right next to Myers Park, said they love seeing the goats each year. The herd seems to bring more and more people to the park each weekend, they said.

“I miss them when they’re not here,” Jackie said. “We really love the goats.”

The city buys goats from Perry Livestock Auction each spring near April. In October, the city will sell the goats back.

WILL GOD GUIDE YOU?

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;I will counsel you and watch over you.”

“Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understandingbut must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.” (Ps. 32:8-9 NIV)(Ps. 32:8-9 NIV) Here is a plain, straightforward promise from the Bible, from God. He says he will instruct and teach us the way to go. He will also giveus counsel and watch over us. In your inward parts, does that “ringa bell” with you? As you think on this promise, does it bring a senseof assurance to your heart? God is encouraging you and givingconfidence; it is a first step as a Christian in an adventuconfidence; it is a first step as a Christian in an adventure withGod.With this promise he makes it clear that it is his will to leadand direct your life. In John 5:19-20, Jesus tells us that he can do nothing by himself. God must guide him in In John 5:19-20, Jesus tells us that he can do nothing by himself. God must guide him in the works that he wants him to accomplish. Then he makes this statement; “For the Father (God) loves the Son and shows him all he (God) does.” Jesus is confident in God’s love for him, and knows he will guide his life and work. In Jn.17:23, Jesus communicates something wonderful to us. He tells us that God loves us even as much as he loves his own Son. Since this is so, then we can be sure God will guide and watch over us just as he did Jesus. His love for us guarantees his faithfulness to direct our lives in his will. His Love is susure; His promise is sure! Let us not be like the horse and mule, which has no understanding, and has to constantly be yanked into line. We are told that our lives are to be lived in faith based on the character and promises of God. Let’s choose to actively trust our lives and his guidance into his hands, and be in expectation of God working. He is faithful!

TIM AHRENS/O’COLLYMadison Mercado scored in the Cowgirls’ 2-1 loss on Sunday.

Cowgirls drop chance at revenge against RazorbacksChad

Waters@RCWaters333

Oklahoma State couldn’t avenge last year’s loss, falling again to Ar-kansas 2-1

The Cowgirls had a chance of revenge against the Razorbacks on Sunday night, the team that ended the OSU’s season last year in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

“I’m not sure the best team won tonight and I feel like we were very un-lucky not to score a couple more goals tonight,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said.

The defense struggled

early allowing Razorbacks midfielder Claire Kelley to score 64 seconds into the game.

Despite the Cowgirls outshooting the Razor-backs 9-4 in the first half, they still found them-selves down 1-0 at the break.

OSU came out the second half putting pres-sure on Arkansas with three shots in the first five minutes.

“In the first half it felt like we weren’t aggres-sive enough in the box,” Carmichael said. “For the second half we just told them to keep going and finish off plays.”

One of the players who came out strong

was Cowgirls midfielder Madison Mercado, who scored the only goal of the night for the Cowgirls on a beautiful left-footer that went top shelf off an assist from fellow midfielder Allie Stephenson.

“Second half I thought (Mercado) played excel-lent,” Carmichael said. “She got us back into the game by scoring a big time goal. Hopefully we’ll see more of this from her as the season goes on.”

The Razorbacks broke the 1-1 tie when forward Ashleigh Ellenwood scored for Arkansas in the 87th minute to take the lead and seal the win for the Razorbacks.

Despite the loss, Carmi-

chael is pleased with his team’s performance.

“I thought the whole team just played a lot better,” Carmichael said. “We looked more orga-nized and played a lot better then we did last Friday night in Norman.”

Cowgirls struggle with depth lackingDekotaGregory

@dekotagregory

Oklahoma State struggled Friday night in its season opener in Norman, but the Cowgirls’ missing piece may still be in Canada.

OSU (0-2-0) was without leading scorer Courtney Dike, who recently repre-sented Nigeria in the Un-der-20 FIFA World Cup in Canada, taking second place after losing against Germany. Dike led the team with 13 goals last season and her absence may have attributed to the Cowgirls’ 2-0 loss and offensive woes.

“You don’t want to say Dike is gonna make a

Stephenson matched Beffer with three shots, along with fellow junior Madison Mer-cado, but like Beffer, both failed to post a number on the board. Natalie Calhoun also added two shots of her own.

Dike will return Friday for OSU, and the Cowgirls are likely looking forward to her presence on the field. They missed her in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat against No. 23 Arkan-sas in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The schedule also doesn’t get any easier with Dike’s return to Stillwater. Dike’s homecoming will be against defending national runner-up No. 2 Florida State on Friday.

Freshman Anna Beffer attempted to step up in her first career match, but failed to find the net on three at-tempts. Two of Beffer’s shots came in the first half.

“First half Anna was really our best attacking threat. I thought she looked the most likely to create something and certainly had a couple of good looks at goal,” Carmi-chael said. “Second half she didn’t do quite as well, but we shouldn’t be relying on Anna. We should be relying on some of the upperclass-men to get us through that.”

That upperclassman may have needed to be junior Allie Stephenson. Stephen-son was second on the team in goals last year, includ-ing three game-winners.

difference; that’s probably disrespectful to Oklahoma, but whenever it’s your num-ber one scoring weapon, it’s gonna effect,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said.

“But we can’t use that as an excuse, because we created enough looks at goals. Courtney is obviously a big part of our team, but we’re not gonna use that as an excuse. We should have scored on our own without Courtney.”

Even with Dike missing in action, OSU stayed ag-gressive but couldn’t manage to punch in a goal. OSU outshot the Sooners 14-7 in the game including eight shots in the first half when OU did all of its damage on only four shots. sports@ocolly.com

Notebook: Cowboys aware of media hypeAnnice

McEwan@annicemcewan

In his last press confer-ence before OSU’s season opener against Florida State, coach Mike Gundy discussed the hype sur-rounding Saturday’s game with the media.

Regarding whether the buildup made it easier to motivate his team, Gundy said the players themselves create a lot of the motiva-tion from outside sources.

“I think it’s much easier nowadays because they know everything before they actually get to us, with the exposure, with social media,” Gundy said. “They know more about the other

“I told them, ‘Just think.’” Gundy said. “‘This is awe-some. Last year you were playing high school ball and now you’re playing against Florida State. It’s pretty cool.’ And they kind of looked at me like they thought I was joking.”

As one of the few return-ing starters on Oklahoma State’s defense, junior line-backer Ryan Simmons said the freshmen will have to make up for their inexperi-ence with effort.

“When it comes down to it, it’s all about who can make the plays,” Simmons said. “(It’s about) who can hold themselves account-able and be mentally tough when you’re fighting fatigue, and when you’re out there on the field and it’s the fourth quarter and there’s seconds remaining.”

Seminole perspectiveAfter practice Thursday,

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher spoke with reporters about his team’s preparation for the Cowboys.

Fisher listed several attri-butes of the Cowboys amid questions of what kind of a threat OSU poses.

“They’re a very well-coached team that knows how to win, knows how to play hard, can create a lot of points on offense,” Fisher told Seminoles.com.

“I think they’ve estab-lished themselves. I mean, they’ve been in Cotton Bowls, they were No. 3 in the nation a couple years ago and had a legitimate ar-gument to be in the national championship game.”

guys than we do.”Defensive coordinator

Glenn Spencer also weighed in on the team mindset.

“I’m not an idiot,” Spen-cer said. “I realize they see what’s on television and they know how this game’s getting hyped … As a coach, you’re trying to, every day you go out on the field, you’re trying to get better than the previous day.”

Eight freshmen keep Gundy up at night

The looming ques-tion concerning the game against Florida State is how well the young players will fare against a team like the Seminoles.

Gundy said he lost sleep one night trying to count the eight freshmen that will play at AT&T Stadium.

Greek community seeks to return to original values, purpose

ZachBaden

@ZachBaden

Old habits die hard, but dead habits may return harder.

For more than a decade the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs has sought to reemphasize the original purpose of fraternal organizations from which Greek houses have notoriously deviated. Although each chapter differs, fraternal values share the common thread of enhancing the academ-ic, social, philanthropic and general success of undergraduate students.

Progress has been difficult and time consuming, but undeniable.

In an almost unprec-edented move in March 2014 — spurred by threats of lawsuits and rising insurance costs — Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s Supreme Council voted to introduce a national new member program that takes effect for the first time this week at the Oklahoma Mu (OSU) Chapter.

The program dubbed ‘The True Gentleman Experience’ strictly limits new member activities to an academic process over a period of about 96 hours.

“The education of our

members will shift from a new-member (pledge) term to a holistic edu-cational period in which members learn about the Fraternity’s values, mis-sion, creed and history and develop personally over the course of their collegiate tenure,” an offi-cial fraternity press release said.

OSU Fraternity and Sorority Affairs manager Ival Gregory said he be-lieves this may be the start of a massive shift in new member programs.

“I’ve spoken with lo-cal and national chapter leaders and a lot of people are interested to see how this experiment goes and based on that changes

could be made,” Gregory said.

OSU officials haven’t simply waited for reforms to be made nationally. Until Gregory was hired in 2000, the position of Fraternity and Soror-ity Affairs manager had been part time and lacked strong enforcement of campus rules, despite fra-ternity and sorority mem-bers already maintaining a higher average GPA and large quantity of philan-thropy hours compared to other students.

“Two things have al-ways been the downfall of social fraternities: alcohol and the new member programs with respect to hazing,” IFC president

“Anything that creates distinct classes in an orga-nization is always going to be detrimental.”

Under Gregory, one of IFC’s first acts was to install random alcohol checks to create a better living environment for freshman students. A Greek Life task force was also assembled in the late 1990s and started the an-nual tradition of bringing in speakers to highlight the dangers and point-lessness of hazing, and required attendance for all new members that took place Wednesday.

“I think these pro-active steps are great

Tim Krenz said. “It’s something we talk

about all the time, how we can take these awesome organizations with these great leaders and remove them from the connota-tion that they only focus on these two things.”

Through enforcement and education programs, Gregory wants the fra-ternities that do haze to understand it doesn’t build better members, instead it divides or even destroys a chapter.

“A fraternity is sup-posed to be one collective unit, but when you have a hazing culture you divide it into pledge classes that are pitted against each other,” Gregory said,

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLYThe Greek community is reforming pledgeship to cut down on hazing and other issues.

Stillwater, OSU bearing down on underage drinking

KAYLA HODGIN/O’COLLYViolations of Oklahoma’s social host law can result in a $500 fine.

Kaelynn Knoernschild

@kaelynn_k

Oklahoma State Uni-versity and area police are working to curb underage drinking in Stillwater.

Representatives from both parties and The Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission (ABLE) gathered at a press conference Thursday to an-nounce a yearlong collabora-tive effort to reduce under-age drinking.

“Our approach is going to be three-pronged with education, prevention and enforcement,” said Gina Pratt, senior agent at ABLE Commission.

Pratt began by present-ing the facts about alcohol and its significant presence in Oklahoma. She said Oklahoma ranks seventh for the highest rate of underage drinking in the nation.

“Alcohol is the most

people and making sure ev-eryone is under the limit and able to drive,” Lester said.

He said another goal is to enforce Oklahoma’s social host law, which puts partial responsibility on the party host for underage drinking.

“We really think that it’s important that students understand that the social host law exists, “ he said. “It’s there to sort of protect un-derage folks and keep under-age drinking from happen-ing and it’s something they need to be aware of if they are even considering hosting a party.”

The first time the social host law is violated, the party host faces a fine of $500.

Lester stressed the fact that underage drinking is “absolutely illegal.”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re at a tailgate, it doesn’t matter if you’re at a friend’s house — if you’re under 21, it’s not legal to drink in the state of Oklahoma.”

abused substance in Okla-homa,” Pratt said.

Chuck Lester, grant coordinator for Department of Wellness-Sponsored Programs, said that the university recognized under-age drinking as a problem within the community and has been trying to rein in the illegal behavior for the past two years.

“Our first thought is for our students’ safety,” Lester said. “The University Com-munity Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition got together and started to look at ways that they might be able to curtail underage drinking.”

The plan includes of-ficers monitoring the roads, investigating parties with underage drinking and checking to ensure bars aren’t over-serving patrons or sell-ing alcohol to minors.

Oklahoma Highway Pa-trol will continue to enforce its ongoing Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

because nowhere in any fraternity’s ritual does it have anything to do with the belittling or embar-rassment of those in new member programs,” Krenz said.

On the Panhellenic side, any names for potential new members that can be

Greek: ‘true Gentleman experience’ limits new member activities.

perceived as derogatory, such as pledges or babies, have been dropped and a 24-hour hazing preven-tion hotline has been established.

“Through our programs we have achieved a lot of success,” Gregory said. “Numbers have grown, grades have improved and we have great alumni that we continue to honor in our Greek Life Hall of Fame”

Other universities have taken notice too.

Every year, IFC and Panhellenic Council sub-mit awards packets based on the accomplishments of the Greek community.

In January, they at-tend the Association for Fraternal Leadership and Values conference,

the largest gathering of fraternal leadership in the world.

They haven’t come away empty handed. PanHel-lenic Council has won the award for best sorority leadership three out the past four years and in spring 2014 IFC helped complete the sweep in the central region by winning the men’s award.

For Krenz the awards simply validate what he already knows.

“The greatest thing about being a member of a fraternity at OSU is the people I surround myself with who truly make you a better leader and a bet-ter person,” Krenz said.

Correction

Due to an editor error, a mistake was printed in the Aug. 18 edition of the O’Colly.

Freshman enrollment statistics were incorrectly credited to the OSU Office of the Registrar. The data was in fact obtained from

Institutional Research and Information Management.The O’Colly regrets this error.
