While the construction across the street from Boone Pickens Stadium on the north side of Hall of Fame Av-enue has continued, excitement about the project has been growing steadily.

The new Athletic Village, which broke ground on Aug. 1, 2011, will feature two state of the art facilities, the Sherman Smith Athletic Training Center and the OSU Tennis Center.

The Smith Center will become the athletic program’s indoor practice building and will also feature three grass and turf practice fields to its east side.

According to okstate.com, the cost of the Smith Center will come to about $16 million, with the three practice fields adjacent to it costing about $3 million.

From the standpoint of OSU ath-letics, this upgrade will help improve facilities to the level the athletic de-

partment hopes the programs can be; at the top.

Associate Athletic Director Kevin Klintworth said he thinks OSU’s ath-letic programs deserve the upgrade.

“Many of OSU’s teams are striving for success on a national level while competing in facilities that would rank very low nationally -- and even within our conference,” Klintworth said. “Our soccer, tennis and track teams are good examples of programs that are in need of facility upgrades.”

Thanks to continued work on the complex, some of these programs can rest easy for the future.

The OSU Tennis Center will be on the north side of the Smith Center.

It will feature 12 outdoor courts, six indoor courts, a player lounge and state of the art locker rooms.

All of this comes as a welcome upgrade for the tennis team, whose facilities, Klintworth said, have not received facility upgrades in a while.

“Some of our teams compete and train in facilities that have received

little or no funding for upgrades in years, possibly even decades,” he said.

A Stillwater Ju-nior High student committed suicide in the halls of the school Wednesday morning.

Cade Poulos, 13, reportedly died from a gunshot wound to the head.

Stillwater Police Capt. Randy Dickerson said officers found Poulos in a hallway just before 8 a.m. A hand-gun was at the scene when police ar-rived, he said. Police have notified the family of Poulos’s death.

The SGA Senate meeting looked more like an episode of BattleBots as senators debated the co-sponsorship of OSU Mercury Robotics and other bills Wednesday.

Mercury Robotics requested $310 to build a robot for a competition, but changed its request to $1,010 to account for an additional two robots.

The bill passed by a 21-10 margin, with six abstentions.

Senator Temitope Akande said he was annoyed with the amount of debate surrounding the bill.

“We hand out money all the time,” Akande said. “Students are going to learn from (Mercury Robotics), and I don’t know why we’re taking so much time. I’m a little pissed off about it.”

Debate on the robotics sponsorship bill followed two other co-sponsor-ship bills to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers for $1,500 and $700

respectively.The main point of controversy was

the lack of dues the members of Mer-cury Robotics have paid. The SGA will finance three robots in full.

Mercury Robotics president Lee Easton was in attendance to represent the club. He said he has high hopes for his organization.

“The industry of robotics is growing,” Easton said. “This is an opportunity for people who have an interest in [robot-ics] to kick start a career.”

In addition, the Senate passed a bill granting registered status to the OSU Hip Hop Dance Crew. The Senate also approved Election Agency members.

Next week the Senate will discuss a bill placing a constitutional amendment on the student ballot that would give LASSO students senatorial representa-tion.

The next SGA Senate meeting is scheduled for Oct. 3 on the fourth floor of the Student Union in Case Study One at 7 p.m.

One of the strengths of Texas’ offense is the speed and athleticism of its receivers. The Longhorns sport multiple pass-catchers who can hurt a defense.

The leading receiver for Texas is junior Mike Davis. Davis likes to beat defenses deep. Senior M a r q u i s e Goodwin is another verti-cal threat, while sophomore Jax-on Shipley finds holes in the middle zones of defenses.

Such a balanced attack re-quires a defense to give a vari-ety of looks to get the offense out of rhythm.

“We will do a little bit of both (press and zone coverage), depending on the receiver,” se-nior cornerback Justin Gilbert said. “There are some receivers that we will not press as much and some we will press most of the time.”

Gilbert said he sees each Texas receiver as a different threat.

“Jaxon Shipley is one of the smarter guys (on the field) and Marquise Goodwin is more physical,” Gilbert said. “I think the fastest (of the receivers) is Goodwin.”

Goodwin has the most im-pressive resume of any of the Texas wide outs. Not only is he the most experienced, but he also traveled to London in

August with the U.S. Olym-pic team as a long-jumper. He is considered to be one of the fastest players in the Big 12.

The potential of facing Goodwin one-on-one is some-thing Gilbert said he is ready for the challenge.

“I think it is going to be a good challenge for me and him,” Gilbert said. “We both are going to go out and play

hard every play. He is a hard worker and I know he’ll give me a good fight.”

As a player who prides himself on be-ing as physical as he is fast, Gilbert said he plans to exploit some weakness-

es he’s noticed on film, namely from Davis.

“(Davis) is not as physi-cal as the other guys we have been watching on film,” Gil-bert said. “I think if we get into Davis’ head, jam him up a little bit and really take him out of his game plan, it will make him back off a little bit.

“He will come out trying to strike you, but there are times where he takes plays off.”

Gilbert acknowledged Texas’ team speed but said he doesn’t think it will be a factor come Saturday.

“I think they are pretty quick out of their routes and all of that,” Gilbert said. “But I don’t think any of them have (enough) breakaway speed to get away from any of us in the open field.”

The significance of Satur-day’s game against Texas can-not be overstated.

Oklahoma State is defend-ing its Big 12 Championship for the first time, and who better to start it off against than the conference’s big bul-ly off the field whose football team is on the verge of return-ing to national prominence?

In a wide-open Big 12, a win against the Longhorns would vault the Cowboys to

the forefront of the confer-ence title picture. Wouldn’t it be something to keep Texas reeling for a third consecu-tive season while continuing to grow as national power in Stillwater, despite losing the best quarterback and wide re-ceiver the school has had?

What will be the keys to the game will be? The quar-terbacks? The OSU offensive line vs. the Texas defensive ends? Joseph Randle vs. the Texas linebackers?

No, the difference will be the Cowboy supporters packed into Boone Pick-ens Stadium screaming their lungs out for the home team.

OSU fans have come a long way in terms of stadium pres-ence since I enrolled here in 2009. How much improve-ment? During my first game, part of the student section would yell as if the Cowboy

defense was on the field need-ing a big stop against Geor-gia, but it was Zac Robinson and the offense on the field instead.

There have been vast im-provements. The Thursday night game against Texas A&M in 2010 was raucous, and last year’s wild finish against Kansas State was the loudest I’ve heard the stadium in a non-Bedlam contest.

But the country, and op-posing teams like Texas, doesn’t know this yet. They were too busy watching Ala-bama-LSU during the Kansas State game last year. Yes the noise was impressive against Oklahoma, but those types of environments are expected against in-state rivals.

Saturday is an opportunity for OSU fans to make a state-ment of intimidation. With Oklahoma’s home magic with

Bob Stoops on the verge of disappearing, there isn’t a Big 12 team with a nationally re-nown crowd that brings fear into opponents such as a Lane Stadium (Virginia Tech) or Autzen Stadium (Oregon).

Boone Pickens Stadium has the acoustics and it has the unique spine-chilling chants (“All We Do Is Win,” “Orange—Power,” etc.). Now it needs a signature moment, one where it carries OSU against a higher ranked op-ponent and gives it the extra nudge to pull out the win. This Saturday is that signature moment.

It’s time OSU students and alumni to rise to the chal-lenge, make Stillwater a place feared by all and, most impor-tantly, push the home team to victory.

Farnes also said she would hear about other students mak-ing fun of him because of red hair.

“Sometimes people would call him ‘Carrot Top,’” she said. “In middle school, people would say mean things sometimes. But a lot of kids get made fun of at school.”

Eighth-grader Johanna Clark said she witnessed the shooting and discussed the incident on Facebook.

“SJHS will never be the same,” Clark said. “I was there and will never be able to get that image out of my head. Bullying needs to stop and hopefully this was a wake up call. I will never be able to walk down Mrs. Mill-er’s hallway again. One thing can make someone do permanent damage.”

Dickerson said the investiga-tion into the suicide is ongoing and he has not found any in-formation showing Poulos was bullied.

Counselors from OSU, Still-water Public Schools and Ca-reerTech will be available to students today when the school reopens, Caine said.

Community reacts to suicide

More than 120 people at-tended a prayer service at the Highland Park United Method-ist Church on Wednesday night.

Rev. Derrek Belase, the church’s senior pastor, started the evening with prayers and wishes of hope for those affected by the shooting.

“We’re here so that tradition and Christian scriptures might speak a word of hope to us,” he said. “It is important to listen to how God may be speaking to us

on this day.”Belase said he did not know

Poulos but stressed that every-one in the city should look out for each other.

“Somehow we are all con-nected,” he said. “There are ways to help one another-to reach out when you know a person may need some help.”

Belase also called Poulos’ death “a disaster” for his peers and said he hopes Poulos’ family finds peace.

“We struggle to understand the tragedy of violence when-ever it strikes, and now in the aftermath of such a tragic day on the campus of Stillwater Junior High, there is no comprehend-ing the loss and heartache we

feel,” Belase said. “Bring peace to all those whose hearts are broken, especially the family of Cade and all of those affected by today’s tragedy.”

The pastor concluded the service by telling the audience Poulos has found his place in Heaven.

“God created Cade and God loved him until the very end,” he said. “This morning, God wel-comed him home.”

After the service, eighth-grader Landon Horner said he considered Poulos a friend and was shocked to witness his shooting.

“I was struggling at first,” he said. “It was 7:57. I looked at the clock and then I heard the noise.

When the screaming cleared we found out it was a suicide.”

Horner described the imme-diate aftermath of the shooting as chaotic, with teachers yelling at students to leave the scene.

“It happened right outside The Pit,” he said. “The shot sounded like a loud balloon pop-ping, then there was screaming and running.”

It was not until after Poulos’ death that Horner learned his friend may have been dealing with depression, he said.

“A friend told me (Cade) told him he was depressed and had thoughts of suicide,” Horner said. “When he was with his girlfriend, he felt better about himself.”

When asked what message he would give to Poulos’ family, Horner said he would always re-member his friend.

“A lot of people are praying for you,” he said. “My prayers are with you.”
