Off the pitch with senior defender Whitney Wernimont

First off, congratulations on your first goal. How did that feel? Great. It was a great feeling to get my first one on the road and especially in overtime.  It was a really cool feeling.   What is your best memory from soccer or Oklahoma State? Probably winning Big 12 last year.

The United States celebrated the 90th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which officially granted women the right to vote,  on Aug. 26.

Interestingly, though, women could vote in Oklahoma more than a year prior. A popular vote passed the measure in the state on Nov. 5, 1918, despite two previous failures in the state legislature.

The line between Harry Potter’s world of magic and fantasy and our world (or as fans refer to it, the muggle world) has been blurred.  

And some Oklahoma State University students aren’t complaining.

Senior wide receiver Colton Chelf has worked his way from unknown high school player to potential contributor for the Cowboy receiving corps.

Senior running back Kendall Hunter is  quiet, yet his actions are loud.

David Paulsen takes everything in stride.

During his senior season at Walton High School in Marietta, Ga., the three-star recruit received many offers from FBS programs, including Oklahoma State.

But the one offer the 6-foot-3, 237-pound running back and defensive end wanted the most was from his childhood favorite Georgia Bulldogs.

After verbally committing to the Cowboys in November 2008, Paulsen began to get excited about the possibilities of playing away from home and experiencing a new part of the country and Big 12 football.

An orange tie with an image of Pistol Pete’s guns blazing is a new addition to Robert Sternberg’s wardrobe.

Sternberg’s office is still relatively bare because he only began working as the OSU provost Aug. 2, 2010.

“Several things contribute to my desire to come to OSU including my belief in the land-grant mission,” Sternberg said. The second reason is because I believe President Hargis is tops as a president.”

Unlike many beauty pageant contestants, Anna Marie Costello, the current Miss Oklahoma International, got her start competing at an older age.   At 24, Costello was crowned Miss Oklahoma International 2010 on March 6 at the Stillwater Community Center. 

Amateur Radio Club makes a comeback after nearly signing off

Oklahoma State University’s Amateur Radio Club is making a comeback.

Having been around since the 1920s, Amateur Radio Club is one of the oldest clubs on campus.

But just two years ago, the club’s outlook was bleak.

With only one member, who was a senior and about to graduate, the club was seemingly coming to an end

Da Vinci’s Italian Restaurant, 2280 N. Perkins Road, brings the taste of Italy to Stillwater.

Owners Reno Dobroshi and Avnor Dalipi opened the restaurant, named after Leonardo da Vinci, in June.

The menu is filled with dishes made from authentic Italian family recipes. Everything from pasta to sauces is made daily from scratch.

Gundy discusses player statuses and new role

Coach Mike Gundy commented on the status of junior defensive end Jamie Blatnick and junior safety Victor Johnson at OSU’s Media Day on Monday.

“From a legal standpoint, Jamie’s situation has changed and I’m still gathering information on Victor’s situation,” Gundy said. “I am pretty up-to-date on where we’re at with Jamie. We will have discussions with Jamie this week and then make the decisions about his options for Saturday. I still want to gather all the information before I make a final decision on Victor.”

Zac Robinson and Sam Bradford suited up on the same football field on Thursday night for the first time since their classic 2008 shootout at Boone Pickens Stadium.

Only this time, there was no Big 12 South title in the balance and the two former Oklahoma stars seemed far from equals.  

Ironically, the first and last quarterbacks selected in the 2010 NFL Draft, OU’s 2008 Heisman Trophy winner, Bradford, and OSU’s all-time passing leader, Robinson, both traveled to Foxborough, Mass., for a preseason game with their respective NFL teams.

The Nepalese Student Association celebrated their camera-captured culture through fashion, song and dance during the closing program of the 1930’s Nepal photographic exhibit at the Sheerar Museum of Stillwater History on Sunday.

The Student Union Ballroom rumbled with the sounds of hip-hop, salsa and reggae music at the International Student Organization’s Welcome Back Dance Party on Friday.

The Payne County fair entertained hundreds of residents from nearby towns this past Wednesday through Saturday.

Last year’s freshman class had 3,148 students, according to OSU 2009 enrollment trends research, which gives OSU 407 more freshman students crowding U-too dining, waiting in line at the bookstore and playing Frisbee on Library Lawn.
