Oklahoma State police and parking authorities keep students out of the Monroe Street Parking Garage on Thursday.

OSU Investigates Bomb Threat By TARYN SANDERSON Crime Reporter

both buildings and began the sweep, OSU Communications Director Gary Shutt said.

Oklahoma State University Police are leading an investigation to find the caller who said a bomb was planted in the university bus terminal.

Robinson said he felt it was unnecessary to evacuate adjacent buildings because there wasn’t an immediate threat to those areas.

OSU evacuated a part of campus after a bomb threat was received Thursday morning. Nothing suspicious was found after two evaluations of the area, police said.

Shutt said campus safety emailed and texted out an alert at about 10 a.m.

At 8:45 a.m., a caller made a threat toward the OSU Multi-Modal Transfer Terminal and Monroe Street Parking Garage. OSU Police Chief Michael Robinson said he believed the voice to be a woman and came from a campus phone. “She specifically made a threat to the ‘bus terminal’ and specific to this building,” Robinson said. “I believe it was an Oklahoma area code.” Robinson said they are pursuing the phone number to identify the caller. At 8:46 a.m., OSU Police Department arrived at the transfer terminal and garage. They immediately evacuated

Stillwater police officers were not allowing students to go into the garage to access their vehicles after the alert was sent to students and faculty. Oklahoma Highway Patrol performed the initial sweep. Police did an additional sweep after the patrol’s initial sweep, Shutt said. The OHP bomb squad arrived with trained dogs to evaluate the area. “We called in bomb squad because they are more efficient sweeping the area with the animals trained to find explosives,” Robinson said. At 10:55 a.m., OSU sent another alert out to students and faculty to let the university know there was a temporary bus terminal set

up between Hall of Fame and Scott. Robinson said that the OSU police department is taking this very seriously. “It's a crime, and I believe it's form of terrorism,” Robinson said. “It's intimidating the lives of citizens and innocent people.” Robinson added students would not be allowed into the garage until OHP is done. At about 1 p.m., students were allowed back into the garage, and vehicles were entering and exiting. At 1:30 p.m., OSU Communications sent out an alert that the OSU Multimodal building and Monroe Parking Garage was open and operating normally. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol bomb squad found nothing suspicious following a secondary sweep of the facilities, the alert said. Communications consulted the legal department on the phone number the threat was made from and will not release the number, associate director of communications Carrie Hulsey-Greene said.

JACKIE’S SIX PACK This’ll get you drunk. BULLY! PORTER BOULEVARD Alcohol Content: 6.0% As far as porters go, this is pretty good. There is a bold flavor that gets you past the bitterness of the brew. This is a porter I could actually drink.

BARD’S GOLD BARD’S TALE BEER COMPANY Alcohol Content: 4.6% This is just beer. But it’s gluten free, so if that’s what you’re into, then pick this up. I would buy a 30 of PBR before this on any given night.

IN HEAT WHEAT FLYING DOG Alcohol Content: 4.7% This is the worst wheat beer I’ve had. It lacks flavor, and as soon as you pop the top, you smell the bitterness about to ensue.

ESCAPE ROUTE SAMUEL ADAMS Alcohol Content: 5.0%

Samuel Adams never disappoints me. This beer is smooth and flavorful, and exactly like the name, gives you an escape from the cold.

By JACKIE DOBSON Staff Reporter CRISP CIDER HORNSBY’S Alcohol Content: 5.5% If you don’t drink because of the taste of alcohol, this is calling your name. This cider is super crisp and sweet. You could easily pass this off as apple juice. OATMEAL OPA CHOC Alcohol Content: 6.75% This native brew is pretty good. I wish it stayed true to its oatmeal name, but it’s still pretty tasty. This beer would go great with a burger or a steak.

OSU Aims to Halt Losing Streak Against Rivals By CODY STAVENHAGEN Sports Editor Three weeks can feel like an eternity. If you don’t believe it, ask the Oklahoma State Cowboys. “Not being used to losing, and then losing four or five games in a row, it has you thinking a lot,” OSU guard Markel Brown said. Nineteen days ago, OSU was the No. 8 team in the country and contending for a Big 12 title. Then it lost to Oklahoma in Norman. Then to Baylor, then Iowa State and Texas Tech and Texas. Nineteen days, five losses, 0 wins. In the process, Stevie Clark got dismissed from the program and Marcus Smart received a threegame suspension. “This has been a roller coaster ride for sure, off the court just as much as on the court,” guard Phil Forte said. Tuesday, in their first game without Smart, the Cowboys lost to Texas by 19 points. They trailed by 21 at halftime. The Cowboys weren’t themselves. “Not at all,” Brown said. “Man, not at all.” That’s been the case the past five games, and not only in terms of performance. Without Clark, Smart and injured center Michael Cobbins, coach Travis Ford had no choice but to play unfamiliar faces. Former walk-on Christien Sager is now the first man off the bench. Walk-on Mason Cox — who Ford said only practices 60 percent of the time due to academic obligations — played six

minutes against Texas. It’s the opposite of ideal for Ford, but it’s working out for Cox. After Cox put up two points, three rebounds, two steals and a block to lift the team’s energy, Ford said Cox could get more playing time going forward. “I know we’re not playing our best right now, but if they need someone to step in and give some energy to the team, I’m more than willing to do it,” Cox said. But with a Bedlam game coming Saturday at 1 p.m. in Gallagher-Iba Arena, the Cowboys shouldn’t be lacking energy. OSU lost to OU by 12 in Norman and walked off the court to the tune of “Little brother” chants from the Sooner crowd. “We’re not the best of friends with OU,” Brown said. “You have to be excited for this game.” Despite being down to a thin rotation, Ford said he hopes his team will play better than it did against Texas.

Tyler Drabek/O’Colly Oklahoma State’s Markel Brown is taking over point guard responsibilities for the Cowboys during Marcus Smart’s three-game suspension.

Without Smart, Brown is taking over point guard responsibilities, Forte is starting and all players are adjusting to altered roles.

Shutdown Spangler

Ford said more time in practice should make a difference in the Cowboys’ play. And so too could the emotions of Bedlam.

Get Buckets

“Bedlam is always an exciting game, high-energy game,” Ford said. “No better time to start playing better. “

UP NEXT FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2014

KEYS TO THE GAME

OU forward Ryan Spangler scored 15 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in the first Bedlam meeting. The Cowboys have struggled with rebounding and low-post play since Cobbins’ injury, but they will have to find an answer for Spangler or pay the price.

OSU couldn’t hang with a hot-shooting Texas team largely because the Cowboys shot only 35.6 percent and 26.3 percent from 3. The Cowboys are typically hard to stop when they are hitting perimeter shots. But when the strokes are off, the outcome tends to be the opposite.

Adjust Accordingly

Markel Brown will have to get more used to handling the ball and running Ford’s offense smoothly. The Cowboys are temporarily without a true point guard and that means the entire offense is thrown off. Brown and other players need to benefit from a week of practice to sort things out and move on.

Education at the heart of OSU’s art collection

Along with the exhibition, a catalog stands as a lasting document to remember the opening exhibit at the Postal Pla za Galler y. It incorporates 10 percent of the collection through photos and descriptions of each piece.

Paintings, sculptures and prints make up the majority of the collection, which began in the 1930s by former art department head Doel Reed. It became a platform for teaching students the value of art. The Oklahoma State Universit y Museum of Art is striving to encompass the importance and love of art through its inaugural exhibition Sharing the Journey, on display through May 24. The exhibit, housed in the Postal Plaza Gallery in downtown Stillwater, showcases the university’s permanent art collection. Louise Siddons, faculty curator of collections and assistant professor of art history, believes the exhibit brings much more than art to the community.

“The pieces allow people to talk to each other about what we love and why we love it,” Siddons said. “It stretches people’s idea of the potential Stillwater has and fulfilling that potential.”

Museum extends the classroom STORY BY K AITLIN LOYD

Education is at the center of the OSU Museum of Art’s mission. The facility is expanding as a resource for faculty and students across many academic disciplines. “The OSU Museum of Art is a teaching museum commit ted to providing opportunities for students to experience art through exhibitions and programs that enhance the academic mission of the university,” said Victoria Berry, director of the OSU Museum of Art. Professors, such as design, housing and merchandising assistant professor Mar y Rupper tStroescu, are incorporating the current exhibit into their coursework and lectures. Ruppert-Stroescu uses pieces from the permanent collection to enhance her “heritage of dress” curriculum. In addition to studying t h e S h a ri n g t h e Journey cat alog, students must visit the museum. “The museum gives students a three-dimensional ex p e r i e n c e w i t h objects they would otherwise see only in a book,” RuppertStroescu said. “Students are able to gain inspiration

for their own designs by getting an idea of the styles that guided society throughout history.” Architecture students have had the opportunity to design spaces for the museum through assistant professor Jeanne Homer’s comprehensive studio course. “Using the OSU Museum of Art as an educational museum h a s h e l p e d our students think about connections between front-ofhouse exhibit and all aspects of the museum’s layout,” Homer said.

Amelia Clark, a sophomore from Denton, Texas, majoring in graphic design and French, used pieces from the museum for a presentation in her Art History Survey II course last fall. “I am so glad I was give the opportunity to analyze these objects because it truly helped me understand modern art a little better,” Clark said. “I look at art now as having deeper and more complex meanings and look forward to exploring more of what this museum has to offer.”

HOPE FOR JENNA By WILL CARR Muisc Reporter Music is something that can affect emotions, take people to a different place mentally and, in this case, raise money for one little girl. Tumbleweed Dancehall will host the Hope for Jenna Benefit Concert for Jenna Brown at 9 p.m. Friday. Jenna Brown, 8, is a girl who loves to play on the computer with her sisters, read and draw. Brown also spends a lot of her time in doctors’ offices and getting tests run in hopes of finding out why her hands shake. “She has a tremor condition, at least that is what I call it,” said Jennifer Brown, Jenna’s mother. Her life is full of what her mother calls good days and bad days. The MRIs say Jenna has a healthy brain, and doctors have ruled out any type of serious damage. Doctors cannot seem to figure


out what is causing her hands to shake, and no matter how many doctors the Brown family visits, the tests all come back inconclusive. “If you looked at her medical record, you would think she’s a normal, healthy 8-year-old,” Jennifer said. Jenna has seen a variety of doctors in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and the price of having to drive to cities from Stillwater is a burden that falls on Jennifer, a single mother of three. The Brown family is hoping to have a genetic test done soon and that the test gives results about Jenna and her condition. The genetic test, along with other doctor bills and the price of gas, is something that would be hard for Jennifer to pay for herself.

with the costs of Jenna’s treatment and tests. “It was her idea,” Jennifer said. “I take no credit.” Wolftongue got everything set up and got three bands to play at the benefit concert. Redland, Tear Stained Eye and Don and the Riff are going to perform to raise money for the Brown family. Bill Crane of Tear Stained Eye said he knows Wolftongue, and she told him about Jenna’s condition. “We’ve done benefits before, and it’s kind of the responsibility of musicians to give back,” Crane said.

That is when Jennifer’s friend, Jessica Wolftongue, came up with the idea of a benefit concert.

Jennifer said the support she and her family have received has been overwhelming. Even little things, like having their breakfast paid for at Jimmy’s Egg in Stillwater by strangers who recognized Jenna, mean a lot to her family.

Wolftongue runs Lone Wolf Entertainment in Stillwater and was looking for a way to help her friend

If coming to the benefit show is not an option, there are other ways for people to help Jenna.

O’COLLY WEEKEND

fundraising is about more than just paying for the genetic test and the price of gas. It is about making Jenna’s life a little easier.

96% CRITIC APPROVAL

After Lego’s success in the gaming community with titles like “Lego Star Wars” and “Lego Indiana Jones,” it was only plausible to anticipate a film. The computer-animated comedy directed and co-written by Phil Lord and Chris Miller follows construction worker Emmet Brickowski (Chris Pratt) as he discovers he’s the chosen one to defeat the wicked Lord Business (Will Ferrell). Lord Business plans to glue the world together, but with the help of the Master Builders and your favorite Lego characters, Emmet poses a serious threat to Lord Business.

Crushing the box office with a $69 million opening weekend, “The Lego Movie” attracts children and adults alike. Critic approval is high with a massive 96 percent critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 93 percent audience approval rating. The animation is a key aspect in the film’s success. It’s the first ever full-length Lego film to hit theaters, and the three-dimensional animation will impress even the most critical spectators. It’s a PG comedy, but it seems to please all ages. This is probably because of most viewers grew up building and creating their own adventure stories with the the Lego brand. Pratt isn’t alone in this star-studded adventure. Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Will Forte, Morgan Freeman, Dave Franco and Jonah Hill help

make this side-splitting nostalgic thrill ride a film to be remembered. Since 1949, The Lego Group in Denmark has been manufacturing toys and developing movies, games and several theme parks including Lego Land in California. Five hundred and sixty billion Lego parts have been manufactured since the construction toys hit the market. In 1997 the group branched out to video game development. “Lego Island” was the first computer game to be released and won “Family Game of the Year” that same year at the Interactive Achievement Awards. Now gamers can play as many of their favorite pop culture superheroes and action film stars in a Lego universe. Not only is “The Lego Movie” a fun and entertaining film, but it will expose the inner child in every audience member.
