Every day, Andrew Steadley aims to put 110 percent into everything he does.

Not for pride or accomplish-ment, but for a lifelong obliga-tion he feels he has to fulfill.

His obligation isn’t because of a life-saving surgery or loss of a loved one, but merely because he exists.

Born in Blagoveshchensk, Russia, on the Chinese border, Steadley said he considers himself blessed from the start. He said his birthmother drank while he was in the womb, and when he was born in 1994, there were two abortions for every birth in Russia, accord-ing to a Forbes article pub-lished in February.

“I was put up for adop-tion, but I should have been aborted,” Steadley said. “The fact that I’m here today, is, in my eyes, a miracle. So for me to look at my life and say, ‘I’m not going to do 100 percent,’ is kind of a slap in the face to God, in my opinion.”

Steadley never knew his birthmother and doesn’t know anything about his paternal family. Without his father’s signature on his Rus-sian birth certificate, he said he believes he was an illegiti-mate child. Steadley said the circumstances of his adop-tion still bother him today.

“That has always puzzled me, always made me ques-tion,” Steadley said. “Some days I’ve questioned God. Why was I allowed to be ad-opted, and the other hundred million or so children up for adoption weren’t? Because there’s tons of children up for adoption across the world, so why me?”

Steadley was adopted at the age of 3 and grew up in Bixby. Only last year did Steadley officially become a

U.S. citizen. The process was delayed because of missing paperwork from his adop-tion, he said. The discrep-ancy kept him from getting a job in high school.

He started his own land-scaping business at 14 and discovered his love for plants, leading him to his studies first in horticulture, and then in agriculture busi-

ness at OSU. His obligation for 110

percent is evident in his work with Student Government Association. He serves as

chairman of the Committee on Student Organizations, overseeing the regulation of student groups on campus.

Before OSU, Steadley attended Tulsa Commu-nity College and served as its SGA president for two semesters. Before arriving in Stillwater, Steadley said people told him he may not be cut out for OSU student government.

“I was told ‘Hey, you’re not going to do well in student government, you might not be able to get in,’” Steadley said. “So when I got here I was like, ‘OK

Andrew, you need to make a voice for yourself and show them that you know what you’re talking about and that you’re willing to do the hard work.’”

Steadley didn’t waste time making his presence known, setting the tone for the future in one of his first senate meetings. From the third row back, Steadley spoke at length about the latest Board of Regents meeting, refer-encing nearly 200 pages of meeting minutes and docu-ments he’d read to put his presentation together.

Steadley was appointed as a liaison to the board only a week earlier. Liaison reports

at senate meetings are typi-cally short anecdotes about upcoming events or meetings for a certain group or body, but Steadley wanted to raise the bar.

Senate chair Josh Jackson said Steadley’s generous atti-tude toward serving students makes him a valuable asset to the organization.

“He’s an extremely eager senator who’s willing to fill in any role asked of him,” Jackson said.

Since the first report, Steadley’s detailed presenta-tions have become a joke for their longevity compared to others.

“I just love giving reports,”

Steadley said. “I love updat-ing people about what I’m doing as a senator and what SGA is doing. Because if they don’t know what you’re doing, then your role in student government becomes nonessential.”

Lee Bird, vice president for OSU Student Affairs, has met with Steadley about student concerns on several occasions and said his excite-ment about OSU and how he handles his leadership role is admirable.

“I think that where some students would say, ‘Oh, this isn’t a really big role, I won’t worry about it, nobody else is worrying about it,’” Bird

said. “I think he takes what he’s doing, the opportunity, very seriously. … I think the things he’s involved in, he’s invested in and he wants to do his best.”

Steadley doesn’t like to talk about his faith, but he said he can’t help but feel thankful for the things in his life that make it possible for him to put 110 percent into everything he does.

“I look back and every in-stance where I see a blessing in my life, and I think I’m only here because God put me here,” Steadley said. “I feel really blessed.”

Don’t let the bed bugs bite

You might have more roommates than you pre-viously thought.

The presence of bed bugs on campus seems to be a recurring issue at OSU. Since July 1, there have been 21 positive cas-es of bed bugs on campus, according to Residential Life data. Eight cases have been confirmed in family and graduate housing, and 13 in single student housing.

Eric Brinkman, a mechanical engineering junior, who resides in Iba Hall, was affected by bed bugs over the weekend.

“I flicked one off my

shirt one morning after waking up,” Brinkman said. “It definitely is creepy. They have treated a few other rooms on the second floor in Iba, and another guy on the fourth floor reported bed bugs as well.”

Shannon Baughman, associate director of Operations for Housing and Residential Life, said that compared to other universities, OSU has a low occurrence rate of bed bugs.

“They’re everywhere,” Baughman said. “They’re in five-star hotels, movie theaters. Basically any-where someone sleeps or rests.”

From July 1, 2014, to June 30, 73 rooms at OSU tested positive and were treated for bed bugs, ac-cording to Res Life data. Of those 73, 41 were in single student housing, while 32 were in family and graduate housing. Eleven rooms had to be treated twice, according to the data.

Jackie Lee, OSU assis-tant pofessor of etymol-ogy, said bed bugs can easily move from dorm to dorm and will typically move 20 to 50 feet for a blood meal.

“The number one way bed bugs are spread today is by people picking up used furniture and bring-ing it into their home,” Lee said. “They’re hitch-hikers so they love to latch onto fabrics and travel in luggage and backpacks.”

Bed bugs are not known to transmit any blood borne illnesses or dis-eases, according to the Housing and Residential Life website.

Baughman said bed bugs are not an indicator of a person’s cleanliness or hygiene.

“Bed bugs do not discriminate,” she said. “Anyone can get them.”

Baughman said once a resident reports a possible bed bug infestation, Resi-dential Life calls Okla-homa State Pest Control to do a visual inspection.

“Once we get visual confirmation of bed bugs, we give the resident the opportunity to relocate, Baughman said. “There are emergency spaces set aside for this situation. Then to treat the room, we perform thermal remedia-tion where we heat up the space to over 120 degrees for several hours. Heat kills the bed bugs. After that, we leave a residual spray on the outside of the room and set traps on the legs of the bed. Our goal is to treat a room in 24 hours.”

Brinkman attests to the university’s efforts to

combat the problem. “Res life was great,”

Brinkman said. “They take it seriously, and they do a great job. Communi-cation is sometimes hard. It’s not always the most convenient, but they get the job done and make sure to follow through. It feels good to know that they really want to try and help those affected and get it taken care of.”

Halfway There: A look at the Cowboys’ other 6-0 starts

SPORTS EDITOR

Somehow, Oklahoma State is 6-0.It took two game-winning field goals, an

overtime dash and plenty of luck, but the Cowboys made it halfway through their regu-lar season schedule without a loss.

It’s the sixth time in program history the team has had a six in the win column with a goose egg next to it. Three of the previ-ous five 6-0 seasons came in the last decade, but how did all of those seasons end for the Cowboys?

1945Final record: 9-0 (1-0 Missouri Valley Conference), MVC finish: FirstThe Aggies, as they were then known, entered the top 10 after defeating No. 19

Tulsa to improve to 6-0. Led by coach Jim Lookabaugh, the first Oklahoma A&M alumnus to coach his alma mater, the Aggies beat Texas Tech and Oklahoma by a combined 87 points before beating Saint Mary’s 13-9 in the Sugar Bowl. The 1945 Aggies finished the season as the fifth-ranked team in the nation and remain the only undefeated team in school history.

1997Final record: 8-4 (5-3 Big 12), Big 12 finish: T-Second SouthAfter earning a 6-0 start and No. 12 ranking, the Cowboys suffered a 51-50 loss

to Missouri. OSU trailed 30-7 in the second half, but it rallied back to take a 37-30 lead with about two minutes to play. The Tigers responded with a game-tying touchdown with 18 seconds left, and the game was sent to overtime. In the sec-ond overtime period, Missouri hunted down Cowboys quarterback Tony Lindsay to prevent OSU’s two-point conversion attempt, giving the Pokes their first loss of the year. OSU went on to lose three of its next five games.

2008Final record: 9-4 (5-3 Big 12), Big 12 finish: Fifth South2008 was the first of what is now four 6-0 seasons for the Cowboys under coach

Mike Gundy. OSU reached 7-0, but a 28-24 loss to No. 1 Texas in Austin ended the Cowboys’ perfect run; they haven’t lost in Austin since. OSU also fell to No. 2 Texas Tech and No. 3 Oklahoma before a Holiday Bowl loss to No. 15 Oregon.

2010Final record: 11-2 (6-2 Big 12), Big 12 finish: T-First SouthOSU’s undefeated run didn’t make it past 6-0 in 2010. No. 14 Nebraska came

to Stillwater and beat the Cowboys 51-41. OSU’s only other loss that season came to another team ranked 14th. The Pokes ended the regular season with a 47-41 loss to Oklahoma that featured several lead changes. However, an Alamo Bowl victory to finish off the season jumpstarted what would become an 11-game win streak.

2011Final record: 12-1 (8-1 Big 12), Big 12 finish: FirstA team that had the second-best offense in the country, the 2011 Cowboys

began their season with a 10-0 record, reaching No. 2 in the BCS standings, but an overtime loss to Iowa State ended their championship hopes. OSU redeemed itself, however, when a Gundy-led team defeated OU for the first time two weeks later. The Cowboys then won the Fiesta Bowl, edging No. 4 Stanford and even-tual NFL first-overall pick Andrew Luck.

Sean Mathews For the O’CollyThe Cowboys celebrate improving to 6-0 after their 33-26 overtime win against West Virginia in Morgantown.
