How OSU’s homecoming evolved from modest beginnings to a nationally recognized event.

Missouri and Illinois may bicker about

which has the oldest home-coming, but Oklahoma State might have the claim to the greatest.

Homecoming at OSU is celebrating its 96th year as an alumni-sanctioned event and has come a long way from its roots in the Harvest Carnival in 1913. Originally an annual event to unite the community of Stillwater and the univer-sity, the Harvest Carnival was where people voted for the Harvest Queen from a list of candidates.

In 1920, the OSU Alumni Association, then known as the Former Students Asso-ciation, announced an annual “Home Coming Day” in which preparations were made to accommodate 10,000 people and 75 percent of the alumni, according to the 1920 Redskin, a former OSU yearbook. The original proclamation called for “nothing short of the larg-est home-coming day to be held in the Southwest.”

Because of the small class size and relative youth of the university, every OSU alumnus and alumna, a total of 90, was able to attend the event, said Chase Carter, alumni associa-tion director of marketing and communications.

An annual part of the Har-vest Carnival, which came to be a part of homecoming, was a parade through downtown Stillwater. David Peters of the special collections office in

the Edmon Low Library, said the parade and football game seemed like a natural fit be-cause of the Rose Bowl game.

“Initially, it was a way of kind of tying the commu-nity and the college together,” Peters said. “That’s why you would kind of start on Main Street and would close down Sixth Street and Washington Street.”

Early on, the football game wasn’t the centerpiece of

homecoming, as the parade on Saturday morning was the real spectacle. Peters said the parade was a chance for people who had the day off to catch up with former friends from college.

“In the old days, the stan-dard afternoon game was at 1 o’clock, and there wasn’t much changing in times,” Peters said. “So they would do the parade in the morning, and often times, people would meet at

the same spot every year.”High school bands from

across the state, politicians during election years, and floats fraternities and sororities built were some of the high-lights of the parade. Back then, the Greeks had no pairings, so the few houses, along with the residential halls, built their own floats, Carter said.

It wasn’t until the mid-1940s when the football game began to overshadow the parade. The schedule usually worked out so that a high-profile team such as Oklahoma or Nebraska was the featured homecom-ing opponent. Student groups such as the Ag-He-Ruff-Nex, similar to the modern day Paddle People, were beginning to bring more attention to the games, Peters said.

With the increased attention to the game and school pride came heightened competition between Greek houses. The fraternities and sororities had al-ways decorated their houses and doors for homecoming, whether it was with banners or ribbons.

The Greek community was forced to stop decorating its houses, though, in 1940 be-cause of fire safety regulations, according to the Alumni Asso-ciation’s official 2015 home-coming publication. Instead of halting decoration altogether and building only the floats, the sororities and fraternities began to pair and moved the decora-tions from their houses to their

Evolving Tradition: How OSU’s homecoming became ‘America’s Greatest’

News I Oklahoma State University’s homecoming has come a long way from its roots in the Harvest Carnival in 1913. In its 96th year, OSU’s homecoming has grown into a nationally recognized event.

lawns.Carter said the students

were mostly left to their own devices on the building of the decks.

“There certainly was no rulebook,” Carter said, “Back then, the alumni association was really just in charge of reunion dinners and other events for alumni; the students did their own thing.”

Jerry Gill, alumni asso-ciation president from 1984-2006, said the house decora-

tions were a source of rivalry between the houses, and it hasn’t ceased.

“It’s human nature; we want to put our flag in the ground and claim our land,” Gill said. “The house decorations show pride.”

The decorations became so well known that alumni started to come to Stillwater a day earlier to see the artwork. Each year, the O’Colly pub-lished routes showcasing the best homecoming attractions. Because of traffic congestion

as time went on, the streets were eventually closed, Carter said.

“1966 was the first year that they actually closed the streets,” Carter said. “That’s when it evolved to where people started to walk around and look at the decs. That’s where the name ‘Walkaround’ came from.”

With the tradition and popularity of homecoming growing, the event became nationally recognized in 1999. That year, the Council for

Advancement and Support of Education issued OSU the Circle of Excellence award for its homecoming festivities.

“That’s where the initial start of ‘America’s Greatest Homecoming’ came from,” Carter said.

In the 125 years OSU has been in Stillwater, many things have come and gone through its campus. However, every fall since 1920, there has been a homecoming expe-rience.

Gill said when he came

to OSU, many universities stopped putting as much of an emphasis on homecoming, but he is glad OSU has been loyal to its tradition.

“It’s recognized as one of the top, if not the premier, homecoming celebrations in America,” Gill said. “You can talk to any alumni association, and they will confirm that.”

Homecoming is fast approach-ing at Oklahoma State, and so are the crowds of alumni, families and students.

The university and the city of Stillwater are again taking on the annual challenge of hosting thou-sands of attendees at this week’s homecoming events.

Melisa Parkerson, director of student programs for the Alumni Association, said OSU is expect-ing more than 100,000 people to come to homecoming events throughout the week with 80,000 expected on Friday alone.

Friday’s events, including the Walkaround and Homecoming & Hoops, draw huge crowds to campus. Visitors pack the streets to see what the OSU faithful call

“America’s Greatest Homecom-ing Celebration.”

Parkerson said the university works closely with the Stillwa-ter to set up safety measures, emergency management and barricades when the crowds flood campus.

Students on the homecoming executive team have been work-ing since spring to prepare the logistics of the event, Parkerson said.

Rob Hill, City of Stillwater emergency management direc-tor, works with OSU to manage safety at the events. The city and the university have emergency response measures in place, Hill said. This includes first-aid sta-tions, emergency medical plans, law enforcement and fire safety, among other preparations.

“OSU wants it to be a suc-cessful event,” Hill said. “The City of Stillwater wants it to be a successful event. Oklahoma State University and the City of Stillwater are almost synonymous when it comes to homecoming, and working together and doing what it takes to make a successful program.”

Hill recommended attendees bring their cellphones, flashlights

and Band-Aids to the event. Groups can easily get separated, and young children, especially, can get lost, Hill said.

Knowing the names, ages and outfits of everyone in a group will help security crews find anyone missing. Hill said visitors bring-ing children should take a group picture at the event so emergency staff know exactly what a missing child looks like at the event. This

makes it easier for staff to find children among the crowds and reunite them with their group.

Hill advised attendees to be aware of their surroundings. Vol-unteers, police officers, firemen and city employees will be at the events to ensure safety and assist anyone who needs help.

Despite the extensive need for preparation, Hill and Parkerson said they are looking forward to

homecoming. Parkerson said OSU students

work hard to put on the events, and she’s excited to see their ef-forts come to fruition.

Hill said he enjoys the prepara-tions despite the difficulties.

“Homecoming is a challenge,” Hill said. “At the same time, it’s a fun challenge.”

Homecoming weekend is approaching, and local busi-nesses in Stillwater are pre-paring for the mass of people it brings.

Increasing stock, advertis-ing and discounts are keys to surviving homecoming weekend, local business owners said.

Sarah Cazzelle, The Curty Shack co-owner, said she starts to stock up two weeks in advance to make sure the eatery has everything it needs.

“We also do radio adver-tising, and of course, put it on Twitter and Facebook to inform about things that we are doing,” Cazzelle said.

The Curty Shack is hosting a hot dog eating competition this year, awarding the win-

ner free hot dogs for a year and a T-shirt. The competi-tion will be at 8 p.m. on Oct. 24, and the business is taking nominations via Twitter.

“We just try to talk to people, word them out and also upgrade the building a little bit,” Cazzelle said.

The Curty Shack will also sell a cold beverage and a hot dog for $5.

Shannen McCroskey, a Rhinestone Cowgirl sales associate, said the shop begins thinking about T-shirt designs in the summer.

“We try to do something fun and different, and in mid-September, we start buying in more inventory like T-shirts, accessories and little things like that,” McCroskey said.

Rhinestone Cowgirl will have a booth during Walkaround, equipped with a tent and generator.

“More than anything, it’s just about getting more inventory and trying to get some extra sleep to prepare for long, busy days,” McCro-skey said.

Rax Brown, Downtown Marketplace manager, said

he is keeping an eye on the weather, which could poten-tially affect the weekend’s profits.

Weather might threaten the weekend’s events this year with the possibility of rain from Thursday, rolling through game time at 2:30

p.m. Saturday.“The weather tends to have

an effect on sales on home-coming weekend by probably 20 to 30 percent, or maybe even more if the weather is really bad,” Brown said.

He also said he thinks the football game kickoff time is

beneficial for the business, as people have the morning to come into the store.

“If they play an 11 o’clock game, it will hurt the sale, so I’m happy the game is set to 2:30,” Brown said.

The Oklahoma State football team faces Kansas in its homecoming game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. The 6-0 Cowboys gave their thoughts on the importance of OSU’s homecoming events and the game itself.

Quarterback Mason RudolphOn the game day atmosphere“We know it’s going to be a crazy homecoming atmo-sphere, and there’s going to be a lot of alumni here. But we’re going to approach it like any other game and prepare for it like we have up to this game.”

On whether he’ll attend

any homecoming events“Friday night is the Walkaround, but we’re al-ways in the hotel. We won’t be able to participate in that. Some of the stuff throughout the week, you’ll see me on campus. But other than that, no. I wish (I) could see all the pomping on sorority and fraternity row.”

Defensive End Emmanuel OgbahOn the importance of homecoming“It’s another game. We take every team seriously. Kansas is a great team com-ing in, so we have to prepare for them. Last year, we lost on our homecoming game, which was saddening for us. This year, we just have to step up and beat Kansas. My first year, I experience the

Walkaround as a redshirt. I got to go to it, and it was pretty cool seeing those sights.”

Cornerback Ashton LampkinOn if homecoming differs from a typical game“I just take it as another game. No game is more im-portant than the next game, so this is the most important game of the season. I’m not really getting into the homecoming shenanigans. If we win, I’ll understand that at a later date. But I’m not worried about that type of stuff. I’m worried about the game.”

On the campus atmosphere“I really don’t go on campus that much, so I really don’t

know how it is. I’m straight from the academic center to the football field to my house. I really don’t know what’s going on on campus that much. I’m sure it’s a pretty big deal. When I drive around the sorority houses or fraternity houses, they’ve got all the pomping stuff go-ing on. So that’s pretty cool; that’s probably the only thing I really get to see.”

Offensive lineman Zach CrabtreeOn the homecoming atmosphere“There’s a lot more people in Stillwater. A lot of people here. Anytime it’s a day game here at Boone Pickens and it’s sold out, whether it’s now or a couple of weeks from now, it’s always a great atmosphere. There’s

always a great feeling. But there will just be a lot more people here. You can expect that. I don’t know that there’s any different feeling than what a normal game would be.”

On his favorite part of homecoming“I think the Walkaround is cool. I think it’s cool, the floats that they build. Just to see all the different moving pieces and stuff, to see how that works. That’s mind-blowing to me.”

Coach Mike GundyOn the craziness of Friday night“I think homecoming here is special. It’s the largest homecoming in the country, give or take.

There’ll be 30-35,000 people here Friday night. It’s a great time for kickoff at 2:30. The tailgating on this campus has changed considerably over the last five or six years. But espe-cially with homecoming, you can tell it’s going to be a big day and everybody’s going to be here. I get 250 different people wanting tickets and they all want four. That’s the equivalent of about 1,000 tickets. That’s the good thing. Bad thing is I have to tell them ‘No, I don’t have them.’ The walk the night before, the 30,000 people that will be here the day before the game really makes it a spe-cial event for our school.”

Homecoming week is alive and well in Stillwa-ter, and Cowboy basket-ball will bring a special twist to Oklahoma State fans at Friday’s Home-coming & Hoops.

The team will play an intrasquad scrimmage but only after a secret addi-

tion to the pep rally it has planned for students and fans in attendance.

“We’ve got a surprise for the fans actually, so I hope everybody is excited for it,” junior wing Leyton Hammonds said. “We’re going to put on a show.”

The nature of the surprise was kept closely guarded but was guaran-teed to be worthwhile.

“It’s definitely different, so hopefully the people that come will enjoy it,” senior guard Phil Forte said. “Kind of get a twist to the night.”

Coach Travis Ford and his Cowboys look to play a memorable part to what is perennially a special weekend for the OSU

family. “It’s always exciting,”

Ford said. “Homecoming at Oklahoma State is like nothing in America. It’s

the best, the biggest, the greatest. It’s always a fun week.”

The final homecoming as students is an exciting

and emotional time for OSU seniors, particularly the basketball players that play an important role in the weekend.

“I’m very excited; it’s my last (homecoming), so I’m looking forward to it,” senior Jeff Newberry said. “Just trying to take in the moment.”

In addition to the pag-eantry and planned antics provided in the pep rally, the actual scrimmage will give Cowboys fans a first look at a team with plenty of questions around it after the departure of several key players from last season.

“We’re excited to roll the ball out and give the fans a glimpse of what is

to come this year,” Forte said.

Gallagher-Iba Arena will open its doors for Homecoming & Hoops at 7:30 p.m. Friday, and the festivities featuring the men’s and women’s bas-ketball teams will begin at 9 p.m.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With basketball season only weeks away, excitement is building at Oklahoma State.

Although Big 12 coaches picked the Cowboys to finish seventh in the confer-

ence, players said they feel that with hard work, they could finish higher.

“We’re a blue-collar team, and we’re going to get what we give,” junior wing Leyton Hammonds said Tues-day at Big 12 Media Day. “How hard are we going to work in prac-tice? How many times are we going to come to practice and say, ‘OK, we’ve got to give it ev-erything we’ve got’? We can’t slack. We’re not the team that can take a day off in practice.”

It will take a lot of work, as the Cowboys must replace three of

their top four scorers from last season. Sever-al players will be thrust into new roles, and there is still a lot of ambiguity surrounding the team’s outlook this season.

Coach Travis Ford said that as of now, only two starting positions are solidified: Phil Forte and freshman Jawun Evans, both guards.

“It’s going slow,” Ford said. “There’s just a lot of starting from kind of the baseline, teaching 12 to 13 guys where usually you’re trying to get six to seven guys. But every-body’s going to have a

Tuesday’s Puzzle SolvedBy John Lieb 10/21/15

Cowboys said they feel there is no reason they shouldn’t finish higher than predicted.

“We know what we’re picked,” Forte said. “We know what people think. We were kind of in the same situation last year, so that isn’t really going to bother us. We can use that as motivation, sure. But we’re just trying to get better every day.”

Hammonds working in new roleHammonds is one of

the players asked to play a new position this season.After playing small forward last year, Ham-monds will be asked to spend more time inside at power forward because of the Cowboys’ paucity of post players. It’s not an entirely new position to Hammonds – he played the four in high school – but it’s been so long since he’s played there that he had to shake off a bit of rust.

“When I came in col-lege, I was moved to the three because I shoot a lot of 3s and stuff,” Ham-monds said. “But working with coach (Bill) Grier, he retaught me how to use the basics of the game and play with my back to the basket. I’ve embraced the role.”

After averaging only 2.3 points and one rebound per game last season, Hammonds might have to be the most improved player on OSU’s roster. Ford said it’s a matter of having confidence in him-self. The same goes for sophomore center Mitch-ell Solomon.

“Him and Mitchell Solomon have got to have

much bigger roles,” Ford said. “They need to have the confidence and the understanding of what’s expected out of them and go out there and play with that confidence. They were two really solid role players at times last year. Some games they got more minutes than others. This is the year where they both need to under-stand that they’re high-minute guys that need to produce. Their roles have drastically changed.”

Newberry looking to carry hot hand into this season

Jeff Newberry is an-other player who will look to increase his role this season.

This offseason, he worked on becoming a better scorer, honing his ability to shoot off the dribble, make mid-

range jumpers and shoot 3-pointers.

Newberry’s game came together in the second half of last season, after he struggled early transition-ing from junior college to Division-I basketball. He scored a career-high 23 points in OSU’s final game of the regular season at West Virginia and said he is hopeful he can continue that strong play this year.

“I just felt like myself again,” Newberry said. “In junior college, I was the top recruit, but when you come in to play with other great players, you have to fit into the system and stuff of that nature. So I just started feeling more comfortable in the system and started feel-ing like myself again, and that’s the way I’m playing into this season.”
