KVRO - FM (101.1)

Oklahoma State doled out $439,040

in parking tickets last year to drivers who didn’t own a parking permit.

It issued another $333,280 in tickets to drivers parked in restrict-ed areas or in lots where their permits were invalid.

Expired meters? $78,730.

The fines are a part of the more than $1.3 million the university handed out in citations for bad park-ing in its 2015 fiscal year, according to OSU Park-ing and Transportation Services records. Of the $1.3 million, OSU col-lected $854,586. That’s in addition to the $2 million the university made off parking permits.

Steve Spradling, direc-tor of OSU Parking and Transportation Services, said the majority of tick-ets are issued to people who don’t buy permits.

“That’s the number one thing we tell people to avoid getting a ticket,” Spradling said. “Buy a permit. Park where you’re supposed to. It’s not that complicated.”

But for some drivers, finding a parking space can be challenging.

“For a while, (parking) was fine, but now they’ve started a new garage on Hester,” psychology senior JD Landers said. “(Parking) is a little more difficult and less conve-nient.”

Landers parks in the

student commuter lot near University Avenue and Hester Street. Construc-tion of the Fourth Street Garage closed almost half of the lot.

“I would park in another lot, but it’s farther away from where I’m going to class,” Landers said. “It’s usually easier just to wait and find a spot.”

As OSU’s enrollment increases, university ad-ministrators have looked for new ways to secure parking for students, fac-ulty and staff.

In 2008, the univer-sity opened the Monroe Street Parking Garage, on Monroe and Hall of Fame, and added 1,100 parking spaces to campus. The Wentz Lane Park-ing Garage, behind North Murray Hall and north of Stout Hall, added 645 when it opened in 2013.

More parking grumbles could be reduced for Stillwater residents and visitors in August as OSU opens the Fourth Street Garage, behind the new Performing Arts Center on University Avenue and Hester Street. The $12 million parking garage will replace the 500 parking spots lost to the new Performing Arts Center and add another 200, Spradling said. The garage will primarily be for commuter students and include some staff and faculty parking. About 70 of the spaces will be metered.

But as the need for added parking increases,

so does the need for fund-ing.

Since 2009, the cost of a residential hall park-ing permit has increased by 134 percent from $44 to $103, and student commuter prices have increased by 130 percent from $54 to $124, accord-ing to OSU Parking and Transportation records. Permit prices for faculty and staff have increased by 130 percent from $54 to $124. Prices for the Fourth Street Garage have not yet been set.

Drivers can expect an-other 4 percent increase in fall 2016, Spradling said.

OSU Parking and Transportation receives about $2 million from parking permits every year, Spradling said.

Raising the cost of park-ing permits is necessary to finance parking construc-tion projects, he said.

“We have to do it to be able to pay for that $12 million parking garage,” Spradling said. “… We’re trying to keep (price in-creases) small, a little at a time rather than five years

ago we hadn’t had an in-crease in 12 years, and we had to go up in chunks of about $20 a year for three years just to get where we could pay for the Wentz Lane Garage, not pay for it in its entirety but to be able to pay the debt service on it.”

About $1 million in

parking ticket and permit revenue went toward the construction of the Fourth Street Garage, Spradling said. The university borrowed $11.4 million through the Master Lease Program to finance the remaining costs.

The rundown on parking citations at OSUC I TAT I O N S A N D PA R K I N G

When school is in session, about 17 OSU Parking and Trans-portation employees are on the lookout for parking violations.

Two full-time employees and 15 part-time student employ-ees patrol 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and work a six-hour patrol Saturday, said Jay Doggett, Parking Enforcement supervisor of OSU Parking and Transportation Services. OSU po-lice can issue tickets at any time.

Student employees start at $10/hour and are usually given a $0.50 raise after each year of employment, Doggett said in an email.

Parking enforcement officers are trained in procedures and

regulations upon hire, said Steve Spradling, Parking and Transpor-tation Services director. At the beginning of each school year, parking enforcement employees receive instruction with assistance from the OSU Student Conduct Office and OSU police in han-dling confrontations, as well as general security and safety issues.

In fiscal year 2015, OSU col-lected $854,586 from parking tickets. The university col-lected $826,890 in FY2014 and $777,246 in FY2013.

Ticket revenue goes into OSU Parking and Transportation Services’ general ledger account, meaning citation revenue doesn’t finance a certain area or project, Spradling said.

People who wish to appeal a ticket can visit parking.okstate.

edu. Appeals must be submitted within 14 days from the date the citation was issued. Parking meter and boot release citations are not appealable.

OSU sells a limited number of permits in areas with limited parking spaces and a default per-mit that never sells out, Spradling said.

Drivers with permits will always be able to find a parking space, but it might be pushed farther out into an overflow lot, Spradling said.

The university oversells permits because not everyone who owns a permit will be on campus at once, Spradling said. Selling spaces one-for-one limits park-ing because it could leave empty spots unavailable, especially for commuting students.

This year, OSU sold 20,157 permits, according to OSU Park-ing and Transportation Services

records.

She was that kid in the neighborhood who was al-ways outside.

For Oklahoma State fresh-man guard Karli Wheeler, the outdoors is a sanctuary.

“It allows you to get away from whatever is bother-ing you,” Wheeler said. “I remember I would go outside in the front driveway and just shoot and just play basketball until literally like 2 in the morning. My dad would have to come out there and be like, ‘Hey, you need to come in because I need to go to bed.’

“I just didn’t really get tired of it, and it was just my escape.”

The Cowgirl combo guard played it all growing up — basketball, track, football with the boys. As a senior in high school, she was named

the Texas Class 5A player of the year, and during the winter, Wheeler shoots for the slopes.

“We go to Angel Fire (in New Mexico),” Wheeler said. “We have a place there, and we go up and hang out. … We’ve been to Breckenridge, Colorado. We’ve been to Wolf Creek (in Colorado).”

It has been a family vaca-tion for years.

“I started out skiing,” Wheeler said. “When we first went, I skied, and the last couple of times, I’ve snow-boarded.”

SPORTS I Oklahoma State Freshman Karli Wheeler spends her free time either outdoors or in the gym.


January11th-17th

But mostly now, you can find the freshman in the gym.

Basketball consumes about 50 percent of Wheeler’s time, she said. It defines her.

Wheeler comes from a sports-minded family in Plainview, Texas, a town

about half the size of Stillwater

near Lubbock known for its flat prairies and big skies.

“Because there wasn’t a lot to do in Plainview, that’s what we did was play sports,” Wheeler said. “… Really, that was all there was to do. We would sign up for (youth) ball, Little Dribblers, outdoor soccer, so that’s re-ally all we did.”

From her days in the small community gyms of Level-

land, Texas, Wheeler devel-oped a jump shot, which has carried her to Gallagher-Iba Arena.

With the shooting guard spot a revolving door for the Cowgirls this season, Wheeler has shown glimpses that she’s the answer. Her best performance this sea-son came in the right place: home.

Wheeler posted 19 points against Texas Tech, a Big 12 foe that the Lubbock-area native turned down. With friends and family on hand, the little dribbler from an hour away put on a show.

“I don’t know why (it happened), but I am super excited it was against Tech,” Wheeler said.

s p o r t s wo m e n ’ s bas k e t ba l lOSU coach Jim Littell

expects a great deal from the freshman. With the face of the program, senior Brittney Martin, on her way out of Stillwater, Wheeler will have a chance to fill the void.

“I have no doubt she’s go-ing to be a really good player over her career here,” Littell said.

Wheeler will have another chance to stand out at noon Saturday in her first Bed-lam tilt. The Cowgirls (12-4 overall, 2-3 Big 12) have hit a rut after dropping three of the past four games, with the only victory coming in Wheeler’s breakout perfor-mance against TTU. Consis-tency has been an issue, and with Oklahoma (12-3, 3-1)

coming to Stillwater, the is-sue is emphasized.

The challenge is daunting.Nevertheless, the little,

dribbling snowboarder from the Texas panhandle and the Cowgirls have a shot to right the ship.

Story by Alex Marianos

At Oklahoma State University diversity is more than just the number and demographic makeup of the student population. Since 2008, the university has required all undergraduates to complete a course with the diversity (D) designation in order to satisfy the diversity component of their bachelor’s degree.

Dr. Jason F. Kirksey, Vice President of Institutional Diversity, has been instrumental in the addition and cultivation of the diversity requirement. He says there are many options for students to fulfill this requisite.

“It is not the same course for every student,” Kirksey said. “Students can choose from about 100 courses per semester that carry a (D) designation.”

Each college has (D) designated classes so students can choose diversity

courses that apply to their area of study and degree they are pursuing. Students can also choose to take a diversity course from another college.

"While the university’s diversity course requirement is an innovative approach, it would be ideal to also have a unified course all students are required to take. There can never be enough opportunities to learn about diversity on our campus,” Kirksey said.

Kirksey said a committee is working to create an online diversity training that all OSU students, as well as faculty and staff, will be required to take similar to the 1 is 2 many training regarding sexual violence prevention.

But the diversity class is about more than just satisfying the credit. OSU has chosen to include the diversity requirement so students have the opportunity to broaden their perspective and effectively prepare them for the world outside of college.

“We want to create the opportunity for students to be exposed to things they may not have been exposed to,” Kirksey said. “Requiring students to fulfill the diversity component makes a significant statement about the institution’s commitment to creating an environment that is truly focused on inclusive excellence and everyone has the opportunity to achieve what they have come to Oklahoma State University to achieve.”

Dr. Jovette Dew, Director of Diversity Academic Support, teaches a diversity course that attracts students from the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology called minorities in science and technology. She has also

been involved in many other diversity opportunities on campus.

Similar to Kirksey, Dew has certain concepts and bigger pictures that she wants her students to take from her course.

“Let's not be afraid of others,” Dew said. “Let's not be afraid to talk about others and our differences and similarities. I want my students to have something to contribute to the conversation when they are in the real world.”

Dew received her undergraduate degree in industrial engineering at Oklahoma State University.

“When I was an undergraduate I didn’t hear much about diverse scientists or engineers,” Dew said. “There was never a course that talked about what contributions African American, Hispanic, Native American or any other minority

had made toward engineering and the sciences. So now in our class we can talk about why there are so few women and minorities in engineering.”

Dew believes that Oklahoma State is ahead of other institutions by including

the diversity credit on the degree sheet for graduation.

“Having the diversity requirement shows how strongly Oklahoma State feels that diversity is important,” Dew said. “In today’s society you have got to be able to get along with others or at

least know how others feel. Putting the diversity requirement on the degree sheet shows forward thinking on the part of the university.”

At the end of the semester, Dew is able to see a difference in her students and the impact the course makes outside of the classroom.

The show, which was televised from the OSU campus for 15 minutes each weekday, ran for 18 years in that format. SUNUP still airs on OETA on Saturdays and focuses on Oklahoma agriculture and related issues, including information on the latest research and crop updates.

Jawun Evans might just be getting started.

After scoring 42 points against No. 2 Oklahoma on Wednesday, Evans will lead Oklahoma State into the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, for a matchup with the Texas Longhorns at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Evans, the Cowboys’ freshman point guard, came into Wednesday’s contest averaging only 10.4 points per game, but his Bedlam breakout was not as much of a surprise to those who watch him practice every day.

“I’ve seen it live, so I know he can do it,” OSU guard Jeffrey Carroll said

after Wednesday’s game. “… I’m proud of him.”

A McDonald’s All-American, Evans came to OSU (9-7 overall, 1-3 Big 12) with an impressive resume, but his scoring burst Wednesday, a Cowboy fresh-man record, showed how talented he is.

From the first time he saw Evans, the guard’s understanding of basketball is what stood out the most, OSU coach Travis Ford said.

“He’s a ballplayer,” Ford said. “… He knows when to score, when to pass. He’s a basketball player and has an unbelievable feel for the game.”

Evans isn’t only a scorer, as Ford said. He finished Wednesday’s game with

seven rebounds and six as-sists. Ford said it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Evans have games with 12 to 14 assists when opposing teams try to

shut him down, opening up shots for his teammates.

Plus, Evans is starting to get comfortable at the col-lege level.

“It’s slowing down,” Evans said. “I’m getting into the environment of the game, so the game’s getting better for me.”

His teammates have noticed, too.

“He’s playing great right now,” OSU guard Jeff New-berry said. “He’s just playing his game. I think he’s finally settled in, got over those freshman jitters.”

For the Cowboys to beat the Longhorns (10-6, 2-2), though, they’ll need more than Evans. Seven other OSU players combined for only 30 points in Bedlam.

The return of Evans’ backup, Tyree Griffin, would certainly help. Griffin has missed the past two games with a concussion suffered during practice this past week, forcing Evans to play 39 minutes against the Sooners.

Ford isn’t sure if Grif-fin will be able to play in Austin, but regardless, Evans is ready to try to end the Cowboys’ three-game losing streak, whether it takes 20 points or 20 assists, he said Wednesday.

“I’ve coached a lot (of players) that they shoot when they should’ve passed, and they pass when they should’ve shot,” Ford said. “You don’t have to worry about that with him. I knew that from day one. He has a great feel for the game.”
