OSU or CSI: Professor conducts paint analysis research for criminal investigation
Forget watching CSI — forensic work is happening right here at Oklahoma State University.
In 2006 Barry Lavine, a chemistry professor at OSU, was approached by a man named Scott Ryland from the Orlando crime lab and asked to begin scientific research on paint samples and pattern recognition techniques for investigative work.
Since then, Lavine has began his student-involved research at OSU and scored two grants from the National Institute of Justice, with a third one on the way.
The lab has pulled in about $1.2 million in grants.
Lavine’s research has had a nationwide impact on criminal investigation.
“When you have a car accident, a hit and run, a clear coat (of paint) is

transferred,” Lavine said. “A lot of times, that is all you get.”
Before this research began, investigation was based solely on the colored paint. Sometimes, how-ever, there is not enough color pigment to reference it to color standards.
The group has used in-frared spectroscopy, which uses wavelength to study and analyze the paint. It also uses computer pro-grams Lavine designed to prove that information can be gained from the clear coat. The group uses com-puter technology to isolate different layers of paint from infrared images.
This information can then be used to help track down the paint involved in criminal investiga-tion — and ultimately the criminal— in a more timely fashion.
A lot of the work involved in the project is simply to speed up the process of both paint and clear coat analysis, Lavine said.
Before this, if they did
not have colored paint, they had nothing to go on.
Students have been ex-tremely helpful and active in this research, he said.
Although most of the experimental research has already been completed, students are still tweaking his computer programs and performing analysis on the results.
Matthew Allen, a com-puter science sophomore, has been assisting with research since the summer of his freshman year.
“This is decomposing very complex problems into simple solutions in-stead of the busy work you get in classes,” Allen said.
“It is amazing.”Collin White, a fifth-
year analytical chemistry graduate student, has been working on this research since the beginning of the year and said he gets a lot of help from Lavine.
“This is the biggest project I have ever had,” White said. “It is pretty exciting when I get good results.”
White said he works
with the pattern recogni-tion software and that the experience will be includ-ed in his dissertation.
Experimental work began at OSU in 2013 and will be ongoing thanks to the grant money the
United States Department of Justice provided.
“We needed to buy an (infrared) microscope and support more students,” Lavine said. “The grant money has provided every-thing that was needed.”
Lavine said the students involved are contributing to research that will make up the next generation for microscopy in forensic analysis.

Stillwater residents strive for a smokeless community
Restrictions on smoking and tobacco use could soon become more stringent in Stillwater.
The Stillwater City Council has permitted the creation of an ordinance that would ban the use of tobacco products within 50 feet of playgrounds, picnic shelters and ballfields.
The council will later decide whether to approve the ordinance.
At the city council meeting Nov. 3, members of the Stillwater Wellness Committee presented facts about tobacco trying to persuade the council to create a ban and adopt a “gold standard” ordinance.
The gold standard ordi-nance would prohibit the use of smokeless tobacco products on all city owned and operated property.
The city also has the option of implementing a “basic” level ordinance, which would prohibit smoking on all of its owned and operated prop-erty.
Suzy Harrington, Oklahoma State Univer-sity chief wellness officer; Becky Taylor, OSU tobac-co prevention coordinator; and Julie Croff, an applied health and education psy-chology professor at OSU, have been discussing the issue with city councilman Miguel Najera since mid-summer.
Najera said he ap-proached the group after learning about other cities around the state that have
KAYLA HODGIN/O’COLLYThe City of Stillwater is considering an ordinance that would ban smoking within 50 feet of city owned and operated property.

taken the initiative to become smoke-free.
Forty-two cities in Oklahoma have already adopted a gold standard ordinance, according to information presented by the Stillwater Wellness Committee.
“We, as America’s Healthiest Campus, can-not even get our city to apply for (the title) ‘State-Certified Healthy Com-munity’ because we don’t have an ordinance,” said Harrington, who spoke at the council meeting.
Although there is no official way to rank the health level of a college campus, Harrington said in October that OSU trademarked the phrase “America’s Healthiest Campus” as a way of be-coming closer to that goal.
If a gold standard ordinance is approved, the City of Stillwater will be eligible for $120,000 in grants for wellness projects from the Tobacco Settle-ment Endowment Trust, Taylor said.
The city will be eligible for $20,000 if a basic ordi-nance is passed.
Najera and Harrington agree that even though the grant money would benefi-cial, the main focus is the health of the community.
“To have our commu-nity also be tobacco-free will be wonderful for our students and our employ-ees in that we can go out and be smoke and tobacco free out in our community, in addition to on campus,” Harrington said.
She argues that an ordi-nance would increase the health and economy of the Stillwater community.
She said the amount of deaths caused by tobacco-related diseases per year in the state of Oklahoma is equal to the amount of students in the 2014 fresh-man class at OSU.
Harrington also said tobacco use costs each Stillwater resident $700 per year for lost productiv-
ity and health claims. Najera said although an
ordinance is possible, the council is more likely to approve a resolution.
A resolution, unlike an ordinance, would not be lawfully enforced and would instead only encour-age residents to abstain from tobacco use.
“I think we’ll see a benefit either way,” Najera said. “We’re very close to getting something on the books.”
The City Council will discuss the issue at its next meeting, Nov. 17 at 5:30 p.m.
Both Taylor and Har-rington encourage students
to attend the meeting.“Be politically active
if you feel one way or another,” Harrington said. “As America’s Healthiest Campus, we’ve been able to reach for the gold, and we’d like our community to reach for the gold.”

Notebook: Texas looks less beatable
OSU’s matchup with Texas is what many consid-ered before the season to be the Cowboys’ last winnable game on their schedule.
But with the 33-16 win over West Virginia on Saturday, the Longhorns are looking more threatening than they did just a couple months ago.
OSU coach Mike Gundy said Texas’ improvement hasn’t come as a surprise to him.
“From an outsider looking in, their quarterback has gained some experience,” Gundy said. “They have good players. They’re still

big, strong and fast and can run and make plays.”
Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes was only 11-of-29 yards against the Mountain-eers, but
Texas’ defense kept wide receiver Kevin White from scoring, while defensive end Cedric Reed had 12 tackles and three sacks in Saturday’s game.
GOOD BREAK
The Longhorns’ defense could easily stifle an OSU offense that has been ineffective in its last three games, but offensive coordi-nator Mike Yurcich said the bye week has given coaches extra time to prepare.
“Anytime you get an off week, what we want to do is take a real good look at yourself and self-scouting,”
Yurcich said. “We were able to do that and also try to get a head start on the Texas game plan. (We) try to establish that game as early as possible to implement it into practice so you can try maximize your repetition of the plays you’re going to run on the (November) 15th.”
For players, the week off was a chance to relax a little. Defensive end Emman-uel Ogbah said the team needed the break.
“The best part was the rest,” Ogbah said. “We really needed that rest because a lot of guys played a lot of snaps.”
ROLAND BACK, DOING BETTER
OSU running back Des-mond Roland is expected to return Saturday against
Texas after missing the Kansas State game with the death of his mother.
Roland will join the team’s other seniors in their last game at Boone Pickens Stadium.
The Cowboys’ running game, which managed 112 yards rushing against the Wildcats, could use Roland as a counterpart to Tyreek Hill.
Gundy said Roland ap-pears to be doing well since returning.
“He’s back and with the team, which I think is the best thing for him,” Gundy said. “In my opinion, when you have a situation like that, the sooner you can get back into an everyday lifestyle is beneficial.”

Sterns’ dedication to learninggoes beyond time with Cowboys
Jordan Sterns doesn’t have the speed of Tyreek Hill; nobody on Oklaho-ma State’s football team

comes close.Watching the film after
the Cowboys’ 34-10 loss against West Virginia backs that statement. But a closer look at Sterns, a sophomore safety, proves he plays as if he was Hill.
“If you watch the tape, when the ball’s not even
on his side, just watch his cleats,” defensive coordi-nator Glenn Spencer said. “Watch his cleats turn over and how fast they’re going all the time.”
OSU’s loss against the Mountaineers on home-coming weeks ago was the team’s second straight, and
the performance sent fans to their cars, tailgates and homes early.
They had grown sick of watching the offense sputter, scoring on two consecutive drives and then failing to do any-thing more.
WVU didn’t pull away until the end, when the Cowboys’ Daxx Garman threw an interception that would be returned to the end zone. The game was close, primarily, because of Stern’s hustle on the field.
Twenty tackles is the type of individual perfor-mance that can anchor a defense for that long.
“It was really a blur,” Sterns said. “I was kind of shocked when people told me. I just wanted to fly around. Last week, I feel like I floated too much.
“Today, I just wanted to go out there and play with an edge. My teammates did a good job of keeping their guys contained, and I just did my job.”
OSU coach Mike Gundy wasn’t as thrilled about Sterns’ stats. Not because of his effort, but because they existed in the first place.
“Too many tackles for a safety,” Gundy said. “We’re aware of that.”
Had things gone dif-ferently for Sterns before coming to OSU, he might not have had the chance to make 20 tackles.
Sterns’ quick rise to starting for a young OSU secondary — he’s the only
underclassman in col-lege football this season to make 20 tackles in a game — came years ago at Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas.
Like linebacker Josh Furman and cornerback Ramon Richards, Sterns hasn’t always played on defense.
He was thrown into the role.
Steele’s coach, Scott Lehnhoff, was the of-fensive coordinator when Sterns played there and had more experience with him than any secondary coach or defensive coordi-nator had ever had.
“Jordan actually started out as a running back; he played there his freshman year, and I think junior high and his youth career leading up to it,” Lehnhoff said. “As a sophomore, he played fullback for us on a state championship team.”
Sterns’ first position change was for good reason; Malcolm Brown, a Texas running back, and current Texas Tech run-ning back Justin Stockton were in the backfield. Add in a dual-threat quarter-back in Tommy Arm-strong Jr., and there wasn’t much room for Sterns’ ability to run the ball any longer.
That led to the second position change, one of an entirely different nature.
“All of the staff, we talked to Jordan about switching over to de-fense,” Lehnhoff said. “So
he went to safety in the spring of his sophomore year.”
Sterns struggled at first, as most players who make position changes do. That didn’t change the way he approached practice or any other part of the sport.
Ask Ryan Simmons, OSU’s middle linebacker and a former player at Steele, about Sterns’ work ethic. You’ll find out quickly it is omnipresent and has stuck with him from position to position, from high school football to Saturdays on national TV.
“He would come up there trying to talk to the coaches and he’d be in the weight room lifting,” Simmons said. “He was definitely a motivated young guy. He just wanted to be around this.
“Nothing has changed with Jordan. He’s always been hungry.”
That hunger drove Sterns to slowly improve in his new position until it was as if he’d always played safety.
Lehnhoff said Sterns came about his junior season, and from there it only got better.
In his senior season, Sterns’ stat sheet piled up. He had 58 tackles and six interceptions, two of which he took to the end zone for touchdowns.

Q&A: Jeremy Seaton manages fullback,
tight end duties
You play both tight end and fullback. How’d you develop that versatility?
Jeremy Seaton: I couldn’t even tell you how that came about, honestly. Whenever I came here, I was a tight end.
That’s what I was ex-pecting to play, just tight end. Whenever I got here, I realized that I could maybe play a little bit of fullback.
After begging (OSU running backs coach Jemal) Singleton to throw me back there a couple times, he finally gave a chance in practice, and the rest is history.
For you, what’s the biggest difference between those two positions?
Seaton: Really, they’re a lot alike.
The only thing is at tight end, you’re on the ground; you’re a lot closer to those defensive ends. They have less moves to make whenever you’re that close.
I think tight end’s a little bit easier for me ’cause whenever you come across and you’re trying

@NathanSRuiz
to hit one of those ends, they have all of the bag of tricks that they have, all of their moves, so when you’re a tight end, you kind of take away some of those.
Does playing both positions ever get complicated for you?
Seaton: Sometimes. We have a lot of calls for the same plays, but they’re completely different for the two positions.
There are some times whenever I’ll line up at position and I’ll hear that call and I’ll think of what I’m supposed to do for that other position first, but as I’m lining up, it starts to just come togeth-er, and you know where you’re supposed to go.
Offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich has called you one of the more important players in the offense because of your versatility. What does hearing that mean to you?
Seaton: That’s nice to hear, but I don’t know if that’s true.
There’s definitely a lot of guys on the team that are making a lot more plays than I am.
In practice, how much time do you spend at tight

end compared to full-back?
Seaton: It’s kind of 50-50.
At the very beginning, a couple of the individual periods, I’ll go to tight end, and then I’ll come back to fullback.
Then, the second half of practice is all team, so I’ll just jump between both positions and kind of just trade out.
What’s the key for you and your teammates to beat Texas on Saturday?
Seaton: Honestly, just going out and executing our assignments that we have, not doing anything more than what you’re supposed to, and just do-ing the assignments that you have to do. That’s really all we need to do to win.

Cowboys searching for leadership
Oklahoma State will feature a plethora of new faces this season, but three familiar names will help teach newcomers the win-ning tradition of Cowboy wrestling.
Returning All-Ameri-cans Alex Dieringer, Josh Kindig and Austin Mars-den will look to take over the leadership positions of the young team.
“We do need that lead-ership,” coach John Smith said. “Between (Dieringer) and Kindig and Austin Marsden.

“We need to see that leadership.”
Dieringer will be the only returning national champion this season after an impressive run last year in the NCAA Tourna-ment.
“Obviously you get a lot more confidence after you’re on top, but Coach always tells me it’s the second one that’s even harder, so I’ve just got to keep training hard,” Dier-inger said.
That work ethic is how Dieringer plans on taking hold of his newly given leadership role.
“I lead by example,” Dieringer said. “I don’t talk very much. I just lead by example.
“I work hard and do extra workouts so they fol-low me by doing that.”
Dieringer and Kindig, who finished runner-up at 149 pounds at the NCAA Championship in 2014, have already made an impact with their way of steering the team.
“Everybody wants that competiveness from Kin-dig, and everybody wants the hard work from Dier-inger,” sophomore Nolan Boyd said.
Boyd put together a solid resume last year at 184 pounds.
As a freshman, he tallied a 29-13 record and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after finishing second at the Big
12 Tournament. Although Boyd has already made a name himself, he doesn’t feel like he’s ready to guide the team.
“I haven’t done much yet,” Boyd said. “There’s not really a reason for them to follow me.”
Fellow sophomore Anthony Collica also ac-complished an impressive rookie season.
Collica claimed a Big 12 title at 141 pounds while compiling a 31-9 record.
He will move up to 157 pounds this season, and is already trying to make an impression on his younger teammates.
“I’ve been trying to work hard in the room,”
Collica said. “I try to lead by example.”
The Oklahoma State team will be filled with talent and potential this season and could find more success than expect-ed if a strong leader arises.

into a bye week before playing Oklahoma State on Nov. 22.
Week 12: Bye
2. TCU 8-1 (5-1)The No. 5 Horned
Frogs made slight work of No. 13 Kansas State, taking out the Wildcats 41-20. TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin got the job done with his arm and his legs, having 342 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns.
While the Horned Frogs should not get
ahead of themselves, they have a significantly soft last three games of the season and have their eyes on a playoff spot.
Week 12: at Kansas
3. Kansas State 7-2 (5-1)The Wildcats did not
live up to the hype on Saturday getting crushed by No. 5 TCU 48-14. A big part of this debacle was that Kansas State only gained 34 rushing yards as a team.
KSU fell to No. 13 in the AP Poll and will look
to regroup going into a bye week before a Thurs-day night game against West Virginia on Nov. 20.
Week 12: Bye
4. West Virginia 6-4 (4-3)West Virginia fell apart
in Austin on Saturday, losing to Texas 33-16. With this loss, the Moun-taineers dropped out of the AP Top 25 with just two games remaining on their schedule.
WVU is also head-ing into a bye before the Thursday night game
against KSU.Week 12: Bye
5. Texas 5-5 (4-3)The Longhorns picked
up a big home win, beat-ing a ranked West Virgin-ia team 33-16. Texas had a good performance from running back Johnathan Gray, who had 10 carries for 101 yards and three touchdowns.
With this win, the Longhorns’ game against Oklahoma State becomes huge for both teams as a win will mean bowl eligi-bility for the winner.
Week 12: at Oklahoma State
6. Oklahoma 6-3 (3-3)Oklahoma got embar-
rassed at home against Baylor on Saturday, losing 48-14.
This loss dropped the Sooners out of the polls, but perhaps the biggest loss was that of quar-terback Trevor Knight, who got carted off of the field with an injury. OU will have to figure out its quarterback situation on the fly as it travels to Lub-bock to play Texas Tech this Saturday.
Week 12: at Texas Tech
7. Oklahoma State 5-4 (3-3)
The Cowboys are com-ing off of a bye week as they look to end their three-game losing streak.
The Pokes are still searching for one more win that will give them bowl eligibility, but with a strong performance by Texas on Saturday, this win looks even harder to capture.
OSU will face the Longhorns this Saturday where the winner will go to a bowl game and the loser likely will not.
Week 12: vs. Texas
8. Kansas 3-6 (1-5)Kansas was able to get
its first Big 12 win on Saturday as the Jayhawks beat Iowa State 34-14.
Following the game, the KU student section stormed the field and tore down the goal posts to commemorate its first conference win. This celebration will be short-lived, as the Jayhawks will face off against TCU on Saturday.
Week 12: vs. TCU
9. Texas Tech 3-6 (1-5)The Red Raiders had
last Saturday off. Tech has three games
left this year and bowl chances are slim to none with opponents like Okla-homa and Baylor awaiting them.
With that said, the Red Raiders do have a chance to pick up another win against Iowa State on Nov. 22.

SternS: the Sophomore Safety played in the backfield in high School before Switching to defenSe
From Page 5
Sports Editors selected him to the Class 5A all-state first team, and he also earned defen-sive MVP honors in his district.
Now, Sterns is starting on a Divison I football team and leading it in tackles. But Lehnhoff isn’t surprised.
“I’ve watched him play quite a bit on TV, and he’s always around the football,” Lehnhoff said. “I think he’s disappointed that he dropped some
interceptions this year, but I tell him, ‘Those things will come, man. They’ll slow down and will come to you.’
“He’s got a nose for the ball and enjoys the physi-cal part of the game.”
Sterns has had to be a leader this season. Larry Stephens, who originally started alongside Sterns, has been out with an Achilles injury since a Sept. 25 game against the Red Raiders.
Sterns said it was dev-astating for Stephens, who tore his ACL against Mis-sissippi State in the 2013 season opener and missed the entire year.
As Stephens recovers and tries to return to the field, Sterns now plays with redshirt freshman Tre Flowers at safety and
true freshman Ramon Richards, who also took over when a teammate went down with injury against Texas Tech, at cor-nerback.
Both Sterns and junior cornerback Kevin Peterson
have been thrown into more of a leadership role than before. Sterns has taken it in stride; for a player who’s seen two po-sition changes, one gradual and one sudden, it comes
easier.Lehnhoff said it speaks
to the type of person Sterns was at Steele, both on and off the field.
“He was a mature kid; one of those kids who kinda always seem older
than everybody else,” Lehnhoff said. “He’s very wise to how the world works, and I think that helped him become a leader of our program. I think he’s been a leader up
at Oklahoma State’s pro-gram, even in his young career.
“Both years now, he’s been selected to the lead-ership council. It says a lot about him, and I’m very proud of him for that.”
Now, as the Cowboys’ losses pile up and a trip to a bowl game seems more and more in doubt, Sterns and other leaders echo the same words week after week.
“We have to bounce back,” Sterns said. “Me and my teammates need to get back together, talk about the game today and let it go, just like last week. After that, all we have to do is come back out next week ready to play.”
Regardless of whether the Cowboys can get
that elusive sixth win and guarantee a game past Bedlam on Dec. 6, Spen-cer has been pleased with Sterns’ development.
Heading into the next few years, he could improve as fast as the feet that carry him on the field.
To Spencer, the young safety is the type of player he wants on his defense: Determined and playing with a lot of heart.
“By how he plays, you can see inside his heart,” Spencer said. “He’s going to get nothing but better. Some guys, you just don’t know.
“And I know he’s the kind of kid that’s go-ing (to) just improve and improve.”

Tuesday’s Puzzle SolvedBy C.C. Burnikel 11/12/14

Constituency days the heart of SGA interaction
While the Midterm elec-tions may be over and the political storm in Oklahoma has subsided, there is one more big election for Okla-homa State this week.
This Tuesday and Wednesday is Student Gov-ernment Association’s annual Constituency Days.
Paired with senate and executive elections for the organization, the event is a chance for those involved to give back to their commu-nity and hear what students want to see change at OSU.
SGA will be set up out-side the Student Union at Chi O Clock talking to the student body and conduct-ing elections both days. Oh, and members will also be giving out free Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches.
Senate Chair Clint Duncan, a finance and com-mercial bank management major, explained the goal of Constituency Days at the event.
“Constituency Days is a chance for SGA to promote ourselves, and it coincides with the college elections,” Duncan said.
Elections will also be held on laptops on site so that you can meet your representative, grab a free chicken sandwich and vote in the election all at once. Voting is also available online at sga.okstate.edu.
Members will be handing out information on voting and meeting with students from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the Student Union.

COLLIN MCCARTHY/O’COLLYVictor Ndirite, statistics and finance senior, hands out fliers.
“This way we can attract some students over here to get their views, opinions and concerns about what’s going on here at Oklahoma State on campus,” Duncan said. “It’s a big promotion event.”
Senate seats are up for grabs in these elections, so everyone is encouraged to come out and vote for their representative in their re-spective living group or col-lege. Student Government Association handles a lot for the university, especially with other student organizations.
SGA also acts as a watchdog for the student body. If an issue concerning any thing from basic student rights, safety, or other hard-ship arises, SGA can put the wheels in motion to change things for those on campus by sending recommenda-tions to executive offices of the university and Stillwater City Council, as well.
“City Council and espe-cially the Board of Regents respect our opinion,” Dun-can said.
This has been the case for several topics recently, such as safe lighting near the en-trance of the Aspen Heights neighborhood, prohibition of e-cigarettes on campus, and the expansion of Safe Walk
to university approved hous-ing such as the Greek Village or nearby apartments.
“It’s up to us to, on a day like Constituency Days, to talk to students, ask them questions, and get their opin-ions,” Duncan said.
Constituency Days is dedicated to enable that interaction, and promote a conversation about what needs to be done, what is being done rightand what needs to change.
“You can talk with your friends and complain and post on social media, but that’s not going to get any-thing done,” Duncan said. “So this is your opportunity. Take advantage of it.”
Student Government Association will still hold its normal 7 p.m. meeting in Case Study 02 Wednesday as the semester’s session winds down before winter break.
