Resident assistants take on great responsibilities

Everyone knows that a resident assistant, or an RA, is an important person in on-campus housing.
RAs are peers who serve and supervise residents on their floor. But RAs have other duties that residents never see.

Nutrition month

In a few days the Nutritional Sciences Club will begin National Nutrition Month promotions at Oklahoma State University.

Sorority celebrates diversity

In the spring semester of 2008, the University of Oklahoma Sigma Lambda Gamma chapter was the first to show interest in helping establish a new sorority at OSU. The former Mujeres in Action subgroup of the Hispanic Student Association was the first to take a special interest in the sorority.

Gotta catch these new games

Spring break is almost here and most students are looking forward to taking the week off from classes.

Not everyone has a trip planned, though. So if you are stuck in Stillwater for the duration, like me, you might want to check out some of these video games being released this month.

Fill your springtime with the cool ambiance of Efterklang

Every change of weather needs its own soundtrack.
The recent rains are depressing to the point that in a movie, they would accompany an actor as he stares out a bus window into nothingness.

But spring is happy! It’s about relaxing outside no matter the time of day. Opening every window of the house and listening to our money at work keeping our Student Union “The Biggest.” So for this time of year, unless it snows tomorrow, I give you Efterklang’s newest album “Magic Chairs.” And yes, the band is from Denmark, but they sing in perfect
English.

Take a long, wonderful walk on Gorillaz’s ‘Plastic Beach’

OSU holds annual Pro Day

Like most other seniors, Zac Robinson and Russell Okung are spending their final semester preparing to enter the job market.

Unlike their fellow jobseekers, though, Robinson and Okung’s future employers are NFL franchises and their exams include running the 40-yard dash and doing bench presses.

On Wednesday, OSU’s departing quarterback and left tackle, along with 16 other senior Cowboys, performed in OSU’s Pro Day in one of their final chances to stand out before the draft in April.

Cowgirls won’t overlook KU

When the Cowgirls beat Kansas 70-68 earlier this season, the Lady Jayhawks were still at full strength.
But soon after, Kansas lost preseason Big 12 Women’s Player of the Year, Danielle McCray, and finished the last nine games of the season 2-7.

Cowboys vs. Sooners

The Big 12 Tournament is always a pressure-filled affair.

On each game rides the chance of getting to the NCAA Tournament, improving a seed or to at least get a last-minute upset to feel better about the year.

For the Cowboys, add the fact that they are playing Oklahoma in the opening round on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo., and it hardly seems like a joking matter.

It still doesn’t stop Matt Pilgrim, though.

Cowgirls get blown away by Golden Hurricanes

In the sixth inning, the fans’ hopes were as high as the deep fly ball Kelsey Anchors hit.

The Golden Hurricane right fielder tracked it down on the warning track, and sighs permeated through the stadium.

OSU fell to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 6-2 last night at Cowgirl Stadium, marking its first loss to an unranked team this season.

The Cowgirls (16-5) had won 10 of its previous 11 games, its only loss against No. 1 Washington, and two of their wins being against top 20 teams last weekend.

Alice in Wonderland

Letter from the editor

This weekend, Disney’s new 3D adventure, a retelling of Lewis Caroll’s classic “Alice in Wonderland,” broke records with its $116 million opening weekend haul, beating “Avatar” for the largest 3D opening on record.

“Alice in Wonderland” took in an additional $94 million overseas, bringing its total to $210.3 million. 

Wiki-feminism is true mistake

Feminism is too complicated an entity to be characterized from a few quotes pulled from a Google search or a Wikipedia entry, as fellow columnist Ashley Reynolds represented it in her column, “The feminist mystake,” which ran last Friday. 

Feminism is a political movement, an artistic movement, a philosophical movement and a lifestyle.
