The Sigma Alpha Iota Inter-national Music fraternity hosted a silent auction Friday with bas-kets, art work and a guitar signed by a famous Stillwater resident in an effort to raise money to benefit Moore tornado victims.

The silent auction, which was in the Seretean Center, was hosted to raise funds for mu-sic programs destroyed in the summer’s Moore tornadoes.

The funds raised will go through the National Association for Music Education, as well as SAI Philan-thropies, Inc., said Riley Larson, nutritional sciences junior and SAI treasurer and co-fundraising chair.

“(NAfME’s) goal is to raise money specifically for the Moore tornado victims,” she said. “And we’re helping them out with the profits made from the auction.”

Larson set a goal of raising $1,000 going into the event. SAI was able to raise nearly $1,300.

“We at SAI are very proud of what we have accomplished in the name of music, and so thankful for all the faculty and community members who made our evening such a success,” she said. “I hope they are aware of what their dona-tions have helped us accomplish.”

Thirty baskets were available to bid on, with the baskets carrying donated items totaling more than $3,000.

There’s a new president of the OSU Alumni Asso-ciation: Chris Batchhelder.

Larry Shell served as president of the association since 2009 and was an OSU Foundation employee for 30 years. He retired Friday.

He said he knew it was re-tirement time this summer.

Shell said he used past people in important leaderships posi-tions as guides for what not to do.

“Saw a couple occasions where people stayed in positions for way too long and decided it was time,” Shell said. “I promised myself I’d retire when it’s supposed to be time, and that’s what I’ve done.”

Shell, an Oklahoma native and resident of Glencoe, said he plans on farming and rais-ing livestock with his new time.

The most rewarding thing he’s taken part in during his time at OSU is the develop-ment of the Conoco Phillips Alumni Center and its ben-efit to recruitment, Shell said.

OSU President Burns Hargis said Shell will over-see Batchelder for the next three months in an interview.

Alumni relations will be one the most important and continuous challenges, Batchelder said.

“One of our biggest challenges will be keeping alumni connected on everything in this world where people have elec-tronic success to everything, but we still want to show them the benefit being a part of this,” Batchelder said.

The board named Bachel-der president Aug. 16, he said.

Shell’s influence, respect and presence will be tough to replicate, Batchelder said.

“He’s the most diligent thinker. His presence is once that will tough to replicate and he’s one those peo-ple you can tell truly cares about you and cares about what you’re saying,” Batchelder said. “The staff looks at him like a father figure.”

Batchelder was assis-tant vice president un-til becoming president.

Janet Vincent, a recep-tionist at the Conoco Phil-lips Alumni Center, has worked with Shell for 14 years.

“I’m excited for new blood, but we’ll miss Larry’s calm, prestigious presence,” Vin-cent said. “He’s an out-standing leader and friend.”

The then-No. 15 Texas Tech Red Raiders entered their game against then-No. 18 Oklahoma State as the fastest guns in the West, but the Cowboys had the quicker draw Saturday in Lubbock.

In a shootout filled with mo-mentum swings, OSU held on for a 52-34 victory, pushing the Pokes to 7-1 on the year and retaining a tie for second place in the Big 12.

OSU moved to No. 15 in the Associated Press Poll.

“I thought it was the first game this year we played to-gether in all three units,”

OSU coach Mike Gundy said.The Cowboys set the tone early

by jumping out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. The Red Raid-ers were able to rebound and keep the game close, but ultimately fell short despite entering as one of the country’s most potent offenses.

“It was a good effort to battle back,” Tech coach Kliff Kings-bury said. “We come out and get a three-and-out two drives in a row, and then we’re just chas-ing them the rest of the half.”

Playing to a common theme of the season, the OSU de-fense was on the prowl all game, forcing three turnovers and a blocked punt on special teams.

But in a change of events, the Cowboy offense finally brought its game for a second consecutive week.

Despite throwing two in-terceptions, quarterback Clint Chelf showed a return to last year’s form. Chelf threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns on 18-of-34 passing and also added 90 rushing yards for two scores, including a 67-yarder — the longest OSU run of the season.

“To be able to put some bad plays behind him and still perform like he did on the road is a really good thing to see, and I think our team fed off that,” offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said.

Chelf had the benefit of a run-

ning game churning on all cylin-ders. Desmond Roland built on his 219-yard, four-touchdown performance against Iowa State with 96 yards and three scores.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIESFormer AGR member to face hearing

MondayOwen Hossack, 22, is facing two counts

of pointing a firearm

By TARYN SANDERSONCrime Reporter

A former O k l a h o m a State Univer-sity student and member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity will appear for his preliminary hearing 10 a.m. Monday at the Payne County Courthouse.

Owen Edward Hossack, 22, pleaded not guilty to two counts of pointing a firearm with intent to threaten during his arraign-ment hearing Sept. 30.

On Aug. 16, he allegedly pointed a loaded handgun at two pledges at an Alpha Gamma Rho pledge initiation, according to an affidavit.

According to court records, the pledges were told they were being taken to an initiation bon-fire. During the ride to the bon-fire, fraternity upperclassmen allegedly shouted at the pledges to stare at their laps, the affidavit states.

The victims told police Hos-sack pointed the gun at their heads and asked whether they were willing to take a bullet for their fraternity brothers.

Police say the gun was then fired, shattering the rear window of the vehicle.

No injuries were reported.OSU stated the university

began investigating the incident Sept. 6 and reported it to the OSU Police Department.

During an interview with uni-versity police Sept. 11, Hossack said the allegations involving the gun were true.

He said he fired the weapon at the window, which he believed to be open, to frighten the pledges.

Hossack, who was a secretary on the Interfraternity Council in 2013, was expelled from the uni-versity and Alpha Gamma Rho, OSU said.

The fraternity was placed on partial probation, according to OSU.

Alpha Gamma Rho President Mitchell Earl released a state-ment saying the fraternity did not allow or promote Hossack’s actions.

“Members of the fraternity are cooperating fully with cam-pus officials and have no further comment due to the ongoing nature of the investigation,” Earl said.

Hossack’s bail was set at $10,000, which he paid Sept. 30, Payne County Jail officials said.

Both counts are felony charg-es and are punishable by impris-onment for one to 10 years, ac-cording to court documents.

It’s a trend that con-tinues to spell victory for Oklahoma State and doom for its opponent.

For the fourth consecutive game, the Cowboys (7-1, 4-1) forced at least three turnovers and beat one of their confer-ence foes. OSU intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble against Texas Tech in a 52-34 win Saturday.

OSU linebacker Ca-leb Lavey recorded one of those interceptions, the second off Red Raider quarterback Davis Webb.

Lavey stressed the impor-tance of forcing turnovers, a category in which the Cow-boys rank high nationally.

“It’s a huge factor in win-ning, especially when our of-

fense is doing as well as they are,” Lavey said. “We want to get the ball back to them, get some points and take away some of the momentum, es-pecially in tough road games like this. We’ve been playing in front of some tough crowds.

“Coach Spencer and the rest of the defensive coach-es have done a great job at stressing turnovers in prac-tice. It rolls over to games. We’re going to continue to try to force turnovers like this because at the end of the day we’re playing against the other team’s defense.”

The Red Raiders (7-2, 4-2), on the other hand, can’t be as happy about the statis-tic. Tech is now 2-2 in four consecutive games of com-mitting three turnovers and has lost its last two contests.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury

acknowledged the diffi-culties his team has faced in the past four games.

“Yeah, that’s tough,” Kings-bury said. “You lose the turn-over battle and get outplayed on special teams against a

really tough team like that, you’re going to have a hard time winning the game.”

Despite putting up 549 yards of offense and run-ning 97 plays, Tech scored 27 points on 16 drives.

In addition to the turnovers, OSU recorded three three-and-outs, forced two turn-overs on downs and blocked a punt against the Red Raiders.

This is only the be-ginning of a hardware-h o p e f u l champion-ship season.

The No. 3 Cowboys cross-coun-try team won its sixth-consecutive Big 12 Championship in Waco, Tex-as, on Saturday.

Each of the Cowboys’ All-Americans placed in the top five. Redshirt junior Kirubel Erassa led the team with a second-place finish (22:53.9). Shadrack Kipchirchir (22:54.3) took third and Tom Farrell (23:07.1) placed fifth.

“We wanted to test our-selves the way we will at Na-tionals,” coach David Smith said. “I thought the guys put together a great effort.”

The Cowboys ran well across the board; four other runners placed in the top 20. Brian Gohlke (23:36.2) fin-ished in 11th-place, Shane Moskowitz (23:36.5) fin-ished in 12th-place, Craig Nowak (23:41.8) finished in 16th-place and Chad Noelle (23:45.5) took 18th-place.

The Cowboys beat second-place Iowa State by a stagger-ing 44 points.

Farrell said experience plays a key factor in this part of the year.

“Experience is huge, espe-cially in the NCAA Cham-pionships,” he said. “The majority of us have been here before. The younger guys, who aren’t as experienced, can set themselves on how we’re running. Nationals is a lot bigger and is where ex-perience certainly comes in more.”

Preparation ends, Bias ready to lead

The Oklahoma State Cow-girls will look to win their 16th consecutive exhibition game in 10 years Monday.

OSU will host North-eastern Oklahoma in the second game of a nine-game home stand 7 p.m.

After a summer of get-ting to know the new play-ers and determining the lineup, coach Jim Littell had plenty to be excited about.

“We are returning four starters off of the team that went 22-11 and made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament,” Littell said. “I really feel that we were a team that was playing very well at

the end of the year last year, and hopefully that will carry over.”

The Pokes are ranked 21st in the Associated Press Poll af-ter last week’s dominating vic-

tory over East Central Okla-homa — OSU won 87-56.

OSU struggled in the first half on offense, but the de-fense carried them to a lead at

halftime. The offense was able to pull together in the second half and eventually turn the game into a Cowgirl blowout.

Tiffany Bias led all scorers in the game with 18 points but also lead the Cowgirls with five assists and three steals.

Bias was one of five Cow-girls who scored in dou-ble-digits last Tuesday in her first live-action game.

But it will be a season of lasts for Bias, who leads this team in her final season at OSU.

“I cannot believe it is my se-nior year,” Bias said. “I feel like I have been here forever, and I am kind of sad that it’s com-ing so quick to an end, but I am excited for this season to start.”

The Cowgirls will match up against the Northeast-

ern State RiverHawks. The last tune-up before

the season begins Friday against Lamar. The game against the RiverHawks will be the first meeting since the 1979 State AIAW tourna-ment, when the Cowgirls defeated Northeastern State.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2013 THE DAILY O’COLLEGIAN PAGE 3

A campus like Oklahoma State University, full of bright young students, is bound to have some promising business ideas swirling around. But they often get stuck on the first di-lemma: Where do I start?

The answer may lie in the School of Entrepre-neurship’s Riata Pitch and Poster Competition.

The competition, which starts Nov. 15, serves as a spi-noff of the School of Busi-ness’ Entrepreneurship Club’s “elevator” competitions.

In essence, the competition emulates the concept of an “elevator pitch,” which is a sur-prise situation in which an en-trepreneur has only an elevator ride to outline their business idea to a potential investor who just so happens to be inside.

“What an elevator pitch is, say that you’re in an elevator and that you’re someone who has an idea for a business,

and you just so happen to see your No. 1 person of inter-est that’s an investor — say, you run into Donald Trump,” said Patrick Huber, the mar-keting manager for the Riata Center for Entrepreneurship. “And now you’re in an eleva-tor and you have a minute or less to talk to him and get your pitch out and have him inter-ested in what you’re doing.”

During the competition, students will have 90 sec-onds to deliver their business idea to a panel of five judges ranging from angel and serial investors to venture capital-ists. Their presentation will also require a poster for a vi-sual aid. The top three win-ners will receive $2,000 in prize money and automatically qualify for a spot in the spring business plan competition.

“It’s a bigger competition — a business plan competition where there’s $42,000 rather than this $2,000,” Huber said. “And it’s a much harder com-petition in terms of work-load and effort that needs to be put in with research and time. Students are working on these 35-page business plans for an entire semester, and they compete in April.”

Huber said the compe-tition is open to all OSU students, even those out-side the school of business.

“We’re not excluding any-one since we’re in the Spears School of Business,” Hu-ber said. “There’s projects all across campus and students that are doing these projects, that can involve themselves here at the school of business and get a different spectrum of knowledge that they’re not getting across campus.”

Registration for the event is free and ends Friday. Stu-dents who are interested can sign up online or by stop-ping by the Riata Center in-side the Business Building.

Pokes: cowboys grab road win against red raiders in lubbock.

From Page 1

Freshman back Rennie Childs also boosted the ground attack with 71 yards on nine carries.

“It’s a good feel-

ing when you have flex-ibility and you’re able to stay fresh,” Yurcich said.

Tech quarterback Davis Webb threw for 425 yards, and tight end Jace Amaro caught 15 passes for 174 yards, but turnovers and other mistakes kept the Red Raiders from taking full advantage of their ultra-fast offense that got off 97 plays.

For an OSU team that

has struggled to find its identity, the road win over a higher-ranked team serves as a big remind-er the Pokes still have a shot at the Big 12 title.

“We’ve got a chance,” Gundy said.

“We’re not good enough to look past the next game, but our team’s improving.”

Auction: money raised for moore tornado victims.

From Page 1

Baskets included Still-water, Oklahoma City and Tulsa “date night” packages, various OSU spirit wear and accessories and music-related baskets — including a guitar signed by Nick Wheeler of The All-American Rejects.

This was the first time SAI has done a silent auction for fundraising, though it hosted a fundraising dinner last year.

“Last year, we had a ben-efit Italian dinner at a local church,” Larson said. “We were raising money for the OSU Orchestra to travel

to a national competition.”SAI raised more than

$3,000 with the dinner. However, it took a great deal of effort and led to the deci-sion to have a silent auction this time around, she said.

“We didn’t want to have a dinner again,” Larson said.

“It took a lot of work. It was fun, and it turned out really well, but it turned into a little more effort than we were an-ticipating. At last year’s din-ner, we had raffles as well, so we thought we’d do more of the raffle and auction side of it instead of the dinner side.”

OSU music students per-formed throughout the event.

Larson said she had a great night while also getting to benefit musi-cians in need with SAI.

“We at SAI definitely

agree that spending our Friday night in the com-pany of our fellow sisters working to support mu-sic around the world is the best kind of fun,” she said.

“We love working to assist those in need and having worthwhile orga-nizations to support such as SAI Philanthropies Inc. and the National Assoca-tion for Music Educations fund to rebuild music pro-grams in Moore make all our efforts worthwhile.”

“Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” These are the words that begin that famous, much loved hymn. May the Lord deliver us from just knowing the teaching of grace and help us to continue to experience the reality of it. Grace: God’s unmerited favor! Grace: unmeasured ability of God. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power (grace) is made perfect in weakness.”(2 Co.12:9 NIV) The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of grace.(Heb.10:29)

The new covenant sealed by Christ’s blood says: “I will forgive their wickedness and remember their sins no more…I will put my law in their minds and write them on their hearts.”(Heb.8:12,10 NIV) When God’s grace is at work something happens; reality is present. When we put our trust in Christ there is action. Our sins are forgiven and they will never be remem-bered again. God’s power begins to work in our lives. He begins a process of change, by his power, to make us like his Son. That which we could never do, God does, and it is real and tangible. He makes every circumstance work together to bring this to pass. (Ro.8:28)

Paul writes to the Philippian Christians to take the attitude of Christ. He tells them and us to humble ourselves before God for He is at work in us (grace) to desire and to do his good will. (Phil 2:5-13) Let the Lord work his purpose; his will in our lives. It is the best thing that could happen. Let’s trust and expect his grace. He will lead us and use us according to what he has desired before we were born.

We are told that Jesus is alive and exalted to God’s throne. He sits there for us as the great mediator of this new covenant. He is the guarantee that God will do (grace) what he has promised. We are challenged to come to the throne of grace; God’s present throne, to receive mercy and find grace in our times of need. The apostle tells us to come boldly (confident) that God will cause his grace (power, ability) to flow. Come with confidence, come boldly, come expecting God to work. It is open to all of us. There is reality there. There is life. There is help. God will give wisdom; he will guide; he will give strength in weakness. Go for it!

AMAZING GRACE!

A reception for Shell’s retirement was hosted Friday outside the east side of the Conoco Phil-lips Alumni Center.

Hargis addressed the crowd and said there will always be a place at OSU for Shell.

The Formal Gardens have a plaque dedicated to Shell and his wife.

Shell is a positive guy with an uplifting attitude and presence, Hargis said.

“I’ll miss just being around him because he’s a very positive guy, and you never hear him say some-thing’s impossible or can’t

be done,” Hargis said. “His positive attitude

invigorates everyone.”
