Mariachi band ushers in Hispanic Awareness

JACKIE DOBSON/O’COLLEGIANAcatic, a Mariachi trio, played on the Student Union Plaza on Monday afternoon to draw attention to Hispanic Awareness Week.

Oklahoma State wrestler Eddie Klimara, 20, was dismissed from the team after his arrest early Satur-

day morning on suspicion of possession of cocaine and public drunkenness.

Anthony Jewett, an employee at Redneck Yacht Club in Oklahoma City, saw Klimara put a small bag containing a white powdery substance into his front pants pocket in a bathroom at the club, according to an Oklahoma City Police Department report.

Police arrived on scene about 12:30 a.m. and seized the bag, which tested positive for cocaine and weighed .21 grams, according to the report.

The arrest report states Klimara had a strong odor of alcohol and was slurring his words.

The officer on scene asked Klimara how much he had to drink. Klimara said “a few beers,” accord-

ing to the report.Police arrested and

mirandized Klimara, who said he wanted an attorney, according to the arrest report.

While on scene, Kli-mara’s mother arrived and said, “My son doesn’t do coc, he smoked weed when he was in high school, but he has never done coc,” the report states.

Klimara was booked in

Oklahoma County jail and released on $3,000 bond.

Friday night, Klimara lost 7-6 in sudden victory to Iowa’s Cory Clark, pre-venting him from reaching All-American status in the NCAA Division I Wres-tling Championships in Oklahoma City.

OSU wrestling coach John Smith was not avail-able for comment. Klimara was the only OSU wres-

tler not present Saturday during the team awards ceremony.

In between classes at Oklahoma State Univer-sity is probably the last place you’d expect hear the deep sound of a Mexican guitarron.

Students were treated to songs like, “Rancho Grande” and “El Son de la Negra,” Monday afternoon at the Student Union Am-phitheater in celebration of Hispanic Awareness Week.

The Hispanic Student Association started off the week with ‘Mariachi Monday.’

Mariachi band Acatic performed at the Student Union amphitheater, giv-ing OSU students a taste of Mexican music and heritage on their way to class.

CuCo Guerrero, Acatic

Hunter Lane

member and native of Mexico, has been playing mariachi music for most of his life, and via a transla-tor, Guerrero said mariachi represents Mexican heri-tage and culture.

Jennifer Perez, finance junior and HSA treasurer, said HSA wanted people to hear the music and get interested in Hispanic culture.

“Last year we had a good outcome with the mariachi band,” Perez said. “We want people to ask what going on here and what we’re doing this for. We want people to know about the events that we’re going to be having.”

The HSA will hold events all week that will involve students and give them a better understand-ing of Hispanic culture.

The events include piñata making, Hispanic themed Family Feud and Fiesta Friday.

This week’s events lead

up to the HSA’s biggest event of the year, the annual Miss Hispanic Pageant.

Susana DeLoera, health education junior and HSA member, said the pageant is sure to draw a crowd.

“We’ll be doing stuff all week, but Saturday is the most important day,” De-Loera said. “The pageant is always one of the best events we put on all year.”

The Miss Hispanic Pageant is Saturday in the Little Theatre at 6 p.m.

The Stillwa-ter Public School system will move to a new grade-level configuration system beginning August 2015 as part of a plan to cut district spending.

The Stillwater Board of Education voted in favor of the new system Monday night, which would move fifth grade from the elementary to the middle school and ninth grade from the junior high to the high school.

The plan would save the district from building a seventh elementary school, which would cost $25 million in construction costs and $680,000 a year in recurring fees, Stillwater Superin-tendent Ann Caine said.

“We wanted to take pressure off of the elementary schools,” she said. “We would have three to four empty classrooms in each of our elementary schools. We wanted to find a sustainable way to save money.”

The grade shifts would make better use of the district’s resources and facili-ties, Caine said.

“There’s room at the high school for growth,” she said. “It’s good for kids and a better use of tax dollars.”

Tenth, 11th and 12th-grade students will still have an open campus during lunch periods, and ninth-grade students will continue to

have closed campus lunch periods.

Plans for the fifth and sixth-grade middle school remain unclear, Caine said.

A proposal to move Stillwater High School to a modified schedule was delayed until Monday to give teachers additional time to find ways to cut costs without altering the schedule.

High school students currently attend four 90-minute classes a day.

It allows students to complete two sets of classes each school year.

The modified schedule would have students at-tend seven classes a day, three days a week and a block schedule on the remaining two days.

The proposed schedule would reduce the high school staff size.

Many parents attend-ing the meeting expressed concerns about the sched-ule change.

Kandi Spear said the changes would limit her child’s opportunities for concurrent enrollment.

“I don’t know any student who wants it changed,” she said. “There would be no way to con-tinue concurrent enroll-ment.”

The school board won’t hold a meeting to discuss a schedule change un-less teachers aren’t able to reach a solution, Caine said.

“I’m hoping they come up with a list that will have additional savings,” she said. “So, we do not have to get rid of the cur-rent block schedule.”

OPINION@OCOLLY.COM

To say Oklahoma State’s 2013-14 season was a disappointment is an understatement.

The excitement of Marcus Smart, Markel Brown and Le’Bryan Nash turning down the NBA for one more run in Stillwater created excite-ment and expectations the team couldn’t come close to matching.

The Cowboys were pre-season co-favorites to win the Big 12, but finished seventh.

The 2014-15 season boasts more questions than answers for OSU. The Cowboys will need to replace two all-conference players and maybe more as they look to rebound from a disappointing 2013-14 campaign.

Key Losses: Marcus Smart, Markel Brown

Returning: Phil Forte, Brian Williams, Kamari Murphy, Michael Cob-bins, Leyton Hammonds, Christien Sager, Jackson Perez, Marek Soucek, Alex Budke, Ford Stuen.

Up in the Air:Le’Bryan Nash: It’s

@Kieran_Steckley

Kieran Steckley

hard to imagine Nash being a four-year player at OSU, but that’s exactly what might happen. Nash was OSU’s most consis-tent player this season, averaging about 14 points a game while shooting 52 percent from the floor.

Nash said he is 50-50 on whether he will stay at OSU for his senior year or declare for the NBA Draft.

Nash is looked at as a second-round pick in the draft. He would be the No. 1 scoring option next season if he stays.

Travis Ford:Ford has seemingly

been on the hot seat for the past three years. He has won only one NCAA Tournament game in six seasons as coach, which came in his first season. There was much discussion regard-ing Ford’s contract and any buyout possibilities when the Cowboys were in the midst of a seven-game losing streak. OSU Athletic Director Mike Holder hasn’t spoken publicly about Ford’s job status, but he certainly has a decision to make.

Gary Gaskins and Stevie Clark:

Both are now off the team for different reasons. Gaskins left the team for undisclosed personal reasons while Clark was

kicked off for multiple run-ins with the law.

OSU hasn’t gone on the record regarding Clark and Gaskins’ future with the program, but with the team losing its starting backcourt, Clark’s produc-tion might be needed.

Recruits:F Joe Burton: Burton is

a four-star prospect out of Humble, Texas.

ESPN ranks Burton as the 15th small forward in in the 2014 class and 59th overall.

Rotation spots on the wing are scarce, but the 6-foot-6 Burton possesses good shooting range and rebounding ability. Burton should see playing time at both forward spots.

G Jared Terrell: Terrell is the second four-star re-cruit OSU signed. Stand-ing at 6-feet-3-inches and weighing 220 pounds, Terrell is listed as a shoot-ing guard, but he is likely a contender to replace Smart as the starting point guard. ESPN lists Terrell as the 79th best prospect and the 15th ranked shooting guard.

C Mitch Solomon: Solomon is a three-star recruit out of Bixby High School in Bixby, Okla. The 6-foot-9, 220-pound Solomon is praised for his good range given his size and high motor. ESPN

FILE PHOTO BY TYLER DRABEK/O’COLLEGIANJunior forward Le’Bryan Nash recenty said he is 50-50 on whether to return for his senior year.

ranked Solomon as the top player in Oklahoma.

G Tyree Griffin: Grif-fin, a point guard out of New Orleans, is the latest player to come to OSU from Louisiana. He com-mitted to OSU only last week. Griffin possesses traditional point guard size, standing at 5-foot-10. He too will look to take advantage of Smart leaving the program for the NBA.

G Jeff Newberry: New-berry is coming to OSU from the junior college ranks.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound point guard is an early favorite to start. He recently said he is ready to step in and lead the team as Smart did.

Outlook:It will be hard enough

for the Cowboys to re-place Smart and Brown, but the possibility of

losing their coach and most consistent player will make the task more daunting.

Ford has put together another solid recruiting class, so OSU still has the pieces to make noise in the Big 12.

Winning at least 20 games and making the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive year is a reasonable goal.

BRIAN SPURLOCK/USA TODAY SPORTSPoint guard Tiffany Bias defend an inbounds pass in the first half Monday against Purdue.

See Sweet 16 Page 3

With about 14 min-utes left in the Cowgirls’ second-round game of the NCAA tournament Monday against Purdue, their chances of winning took a major hit.

Tiffany Bias ran into teammate Liz Donohoe and went to the floor,

immediately clutching her left ankle in pain.

Coaches helped Bias to the locker room, leav-ing freshman Roshunda Johnson to step in at point guard.

Johnson did all that was asked of her and more, scoring nine of her 16

points in Bias’ absence as Oklahoma State upset No. 4-seeded Purdue 73-66 and secured a trip to the Sweet 16 in West Lafayette, Ind, at Mackey Arena.

“My mindset was, you know, I’m the point guard now,” Johnson said. “I was just doing everything I did in practice and just so happened (it) came good to me.”

It’s the first time since 2008 and the third time in school history OSU (25-8) has made the Sweet 16.

“Just very, very proud of this team,” OSU coach Jim Littell said. “I thought their unity and chemistry on the floor tonight was just unbelievable.

“We said that we couldn’t go into this game and have one or two people play, and we just had great contributions out of everybody.”

Bias came back to play

with 2:44 in the game to the relief of teammates, coaches and fans and stayed on the court until the final buzzer sounded.

Johnson wasn’t the only player to step up for the Cowgirls. Brittney Mar-tin, LaShawn Jones and Liz Donohoe all scored in double digits for OSU.

Donohoe scored 12 points, all from 3-point range. LaShawn Jones pulled down 12 boards and scored 16 points for

the double-double. But the biggest performance came from Martin.

The sophomore finished the game with 20 points and 20 rebounds; at half-time, she already recorded a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds.

City council increases debt limit

@OCollyCity

Caele Pemberton

Stillwater city council voted Monday to approve an increase in the Stillwater Utility Authority debt limit.

SUA will now be able to borrow 40 percent of last year’s revenue in order to improve infrastructure around the city, Mayor John Bartley said.

The previous limit, which was outlined in a four-decade-old bond indenture, was 10 percent.

SUA generates about $65 million every year, accord-ing to the annual finance report.

With the limit set at 10 percent, SUA was allowed to borrow about $6 million.

The vote came after months of discussion, dur-ing which citizens and even

KAELYNN KNOERNSCHILD/O’COLLEGIANAfter listening to hundreds of opinions, the city council voted to increase the Stillwater Utility Authority’s debt limit.

council members were con-vinced the decision would be beneficial.

Councilor Cody Scott was against the increase at first.

“Initially, I was absolutely against it because I didn’t understand what was going on,” Scott said.

After working with city staff and the other coun-cilors, Scott changed his mind.

“I understand being on council means you’re going to have to make hard deci-sions,” he said. “This is one of those hard decisions.”

Scott also spoke with 270 people through email, phone calls and personal conversations, he said, and only three were against the decision to increase the limit.

Mayor John Bartley said most of the people he spoke with agreed the decision needed to be made.

The change will affect utility-rate payers in a posi-tive way, Bartley said.

The additional funding

‘If you can improve the infrastructure without raising

rates, where’s the problem?’JON BARTLEY,

Stillwater mayor

will allow for improved infrastructure.

“If you can improve the infrastructure without raising rates, where’s the problem?” Bartley said.

The funding will be used first to improve water in-frastructure across the city, Scott said.

Eric Fladie, construction program manager for the Water Utilities Depart-ment, said the infrastruc-ture needs attention.

The city will need multiple new water towers and at least 20 miles of new pipes, he said.

“The changes they made

this evening will allow us to borrow this money and do this work immediately,” Fladie said. “It’s very ex-pensive infrastructure that is needed; it’s a must.”

Vice Mayor Chuck Hopkins spoke after the resolution was passed, saying he was glad the deci-

sion was made. He’s been working on trying to get this passed for six years, he said, and he’s glad it was passed during what he said will probably be his last meeting as a council member.

Sweet 16: johnson, martin lead osu to win.

From Page 2

“We want to go to the next level,” Martin said.

“We have things to get done. I was just — I just came in here with the mindset of, we wanted to win.

“I was going as hard as I could tonight, just running after everything.

They could have blocked me out, but I was deter-mined to get the ball. I was going to get it any way I could, let’s just say that.”

Whitney Bays scored 21 points off the bench

for the Boilermakers (22-9), who struggled to control the ball with 18 turnovers.

The Cowgirls scored 20 points off those turnovers and shot nearly 43 percent from the field in the win.

“I think our coaches schemed very well,” Littell said. “We played man, we played a 20-zone. We rolled into a 1-3-1, and we played a triangle-in-two for a lot of minutes.”

The Cowgirls will play

After 38 years in the community, one Stillwater woman and OSU graduate has decided to run for city council.

Patricia Darlington, known as Pat by her friends, decided to run after completing a celebrity @OCollyCity

Caele Pemberton

OSU alumna runs for city council

TWITTERPat Darlington received her Ph.D. from OSU in 2002.

cypher with a quote from George Burns.

“It was something like, ‘When you stop giving and sharing with the world, you might as well turn the lights out,’” Darlington said.

When the seat opened, she knew running was what she wanted to do.

Darlington became interested in politics in the seventh grade.

In the 1990s, Darlington was elected to the Stillwa-ter school board, where she acted as vice chairwoman and later chairwoman. The experience was exciting and a good learning experience, she said.

Darlington moved to Stillwater by “pure acci-dent,” she said. In 1974, she was involved in a car acci-dent, where she literally ran

into the man who would be her husband.

He lived in Claremore; she lived in Oklahoma City.

The couple needed a place in the middle, so they chose Stillwater.

Although the couple thought they would only stay a few months, they fell in love with the city.

Darlington received her Ph.D. from OSU in 2002. She moved to New Hampshire for a year, but she missed Stillwater. When she moved back, she bought a building, remod-eled it, and started practic-ing psychology, which she said could help her if she is elected to the council. She said practicing psychol-ogy has taught her how to listen.

In addition to practic-

ing psychology, Darlington has changed Stillwater in another way.

She began a senior co-housing community in 2009 that allows seniors to interact with each other while maintaining a level of independence.

With only five other communities like this in the country, Darlington said Stillwater’s is a model.

The community sold all of its slots in only five years, she said.

The community allows for spontaneous social interaction among the seniors, which Darlington said is crucial for healthy living. The experience was something new for Dar-lington.

“I never thought I’d see my name on a loan for $3 million,” she said.

Although Jay Kuruvilla, Darlington’s opponent for the council, argues he would bring diversity to the council, Darlington said she would, too. If elected, Darlington will be the oldest member of the council at 63.

She would also join Gina Noble as the only women on the council.

But Darlington isn’t focusing on the competitive aspect of the race.

“I am absolutely not run-ning against Jay,” she said. “I am running to be on the city council. I am running against people who have given up hope that their vote means anything.”

Elections are set for April 1, and Darlington urges students to vote and get involved in the council.

Richard Dermer, the owner of The Hideaway, passed away March 14 in Oklahoma City.

He began creating his Hideaway legacy in the ’50s after trying pizza for the first time at the Campus Hideaway dur-ing his senior year of high school, he said in an interview with The Daily O’Collegian last year.

“I wasn’t very im-pressed,” he said.

As a freshman at Oklahoma State Univer-sity majoring in English, Dermer got a job at the Campus Hideaway to deliver pizzas.

“Come to find out, the business was an offshoot of the Campus Hideaway in Lawrence, Kansas,” he said.

Les Gerig and David Hoffman opened the Campus Hideaway in Lawrence, Kan., in 1956. Dermer talked to Hoff-man for the first time last year, and heard how the Campus Hideaway began in Bloomington, Ind.

Gerig and Hoffman were going to school at the University of Indi-ana in Bloomington, and there was a restaurant there called The Campus Hideaway. They were regulars at the restaurant during college, and got to know the managers. Dermer said they were first generation-Italians. Hoffman and Gerig wanted to pursue graduate school, but did not have the money at the time.

“They decided this pizza place looked like a good thing,” Dermer said.

The two asked permis-sion from the restaurant owners for their pizza recipes for their own restaurant.

“They began looking for major universities in the Midwest with 15,000 or more students; they wanted big schools,” he said. “With no pizza places listed in the Yellow Pages.”

Once it was narrowed down to about 30 schools, the two men decided, nearly at random, on Lawrence. The two had $4,000 and an old car, and began to drive to check out a location. They found a place to rent for $85 a month near the University of Kansas.

The same recipes in Bloomington, Ind., were brought to Lawrence and are still used today on The Hideaway menu in Stillwater.

The business showed signs of success, and Gerig chose Stillwater as

its second location. Bruce Fields, a top employee in Lawrence, became the manager of the Campus Hideaway in Stillwater. Fields was Dermers boss for three years.

Dermer said Fields did not make much money in Stillwater for three years after it opened. Gerig decided to close the store.

“He said he decided to shut it down,” Dermer said. “He has decided Stillwater is not a good place for pizza.”

Then, Dermer said Fields asked him, “I don’t want to run it anymore, why don’t you buy it?”

Dermer, then 20 years old and in college, offered to manage it instead, and Gerig declined his offer. Then Dermer had an idea.

“I said, ‘I’ll buy it if he’ll sell it to me on cred-it; I don’t have any money either,” Dermer said.

Dermer bought the Stillwater Campus Hide-away for $10,000 in 1960 with a partner, whom Dermer eventually bought out.

See LEGEND Page 6

COURTESY PHOTORichard Dermer bought the pizza shop while in college at OSU.

“We were off and run-ning, we changed things drastically immediately,” Dermer said.

Before Dermer’s man-agement, the business averaged less than $90

average total sales a day, delivery and dining rooms combined.

“We are talking tiny, tiny little business,” he said.

Stillwater is hosting a free one-of-a-kind musical experience Tuesday evening courtesy of the Oklahoma State University Music Department.

The Netherlands-native duo, DuoAttemaHaring, is performing Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Seretean Center Concert Hall.

The pair is composed of bass trombonist Brandt Attema and harpist Astrid

@OColly

Hunter Lane

Wordly duo to perform on campus

COURTESY OF OKSTATEAstrid Haring (left) and Brandt Attema, who compose DuoAttemaHaring, are from the Netherlands.

Haring. They made their debut in 2008 at the 10th World Harp Congress and were received so well, they continued as a duo ever since.

Attema and Haring are well-known artists in their craft and have performed around the world individu-ally and together.

This is the duo’s first U.S. tour and first performance of their two-week tour.

Paul Compton, associ-ate professor of trombone, performed with the duo in Argentina and helped bring them to OSU.

Compton said this is a great opportunity for people to experience something truly unique.

“This is the first duo of its kind,” Compton said. “They are both well-known

virtuosos by themselves, so you’ll be able to hear them individually, but you’ll also get the opportunity to hear the virtuosity they have together as well.”

DuoAttemaHaring has been received so well it has inspired many well-known Dutch composers to write music for its unique musical combina-tion.

Tuesday’s performance will feature music written for them by Dutch and Ar-gentine composers, as well as various other pieces.

“It will provide an inter-esting variety of sounds and compositions,” Compton said. “It’ll be something people have never heard before.”

LEGEND: richard dermer bought hideaway in 1960 for $10,000.

From Page 4

At that time, there were about four employ-ees total. Dermer and his partner added four new tables and a completely new atmosphere.

Sales tripled in the first 90 days.

He paid Gerig back within two years and bought his partner out of the company within the next year and a half. Dermer owned the Cam-pus Hideaway in full by 1964.

By 1963, he had dropped the word ‘campus’ in the name and named the restaurant “The Hide-away.”

“I thought it was kind of corny,” he said. “Since then, there’s been a debate what the name is, but it’s just the Hideaway. I have no objection to people adding ‘pizza’ to it because that’s what we are all about.

“So I was off and run-ning at 23, an indepen-dent businessman.”

Dermer and employees enjoyed the small space on 519 W. Third Street for over 20 years.

He gained employees, created tradition and prospered.

“We had a booming business by that time,” Dermer said.

In 1980, the Baptist church behind the build-ing bought the rented building on Third street, The Hideaway building.

“I had wanted to buy it from the elderly landlady, we had been trying to buy it for 20 years and she wouldn’t consider selling it to me,” he said.

The church wanted to triple his rent and have him stop serving alcohol. Dermer said he wouldn’t have been able to succeed in those conditions.

“As luck would have it, this building was vacant,” Dermer said, as he sat in a booth at the current Hideaway location, six months ago.

The south side of what is now today’s Hide-away location was an old pharmacy, and it had been vacant for about six months.

It was next to a closed movie theater at the time on the opposite side.

The building was right across the street and twice as big as the original restaurant.

But Dermer had to go in debt to buy and re-

model the building.“I had managed

to buy it, scared me half to death,” he said.

In 1990, the Small Business Administration that owned the movie theater building tried to sell it an auction to the public.

“The roof leaked, the floors were warped, the plumb-ing was all frozen,” Dermer said. “It was a great location, but it was a worthless building.”

Nobody bid the minimum bid of $80,000.

The next year, it was up for auction with no minimum bid, and Dermer bought it for $25,000.

It cost him $75,000 to tear it down about a decade later, and $700,000 to build the current building on 230 S. Knoblock St.

“It wasn’t a smooth transition,” he said. “But it all worked out.”

news@ocolly.com

A plan to decrease district spending by $1.5 million was also discussed during the meeting.

Proposed cuts in-cluded nine custodial staff members, a safety resource officer safety program at the high school, increas-ing elementary classroom sizes, six high school teaching positions and various office and teaching assistant positions.

SchooL: grade organization is changing to save the district money

From Page 1

Sheley Mitchell, a par-ent at the meeting, said she was frustrated teach-ing positions were being reduced instead of higher administration.

“The further the staff gets away from the stu-dent, the higher their pay,” she said. “The teachers make the least money. It’s directly impacting the students.”

Kevin Clark, a Board of Education member, said he’s confident in the deci-sions made.

“At the end of the day, I think we did what we need to do,” he said.
