T h e O U W o m e n ’ s Outreach Center created a new position to accommo-date program expansion in the last several years, a representative said.

“A program coordina-tor was needed at the Women’s Outreach Center due to our expansion over the past several years,” center director Kathy Moxley said. “New mem-bers were needed to con-tinue the level of program-ming we’ve been able to enact as well as expand to new venues.”

Melanie Adams, former adviser in Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communications, will fill the position at the center. Adams said she will work with sexual assault pre-vention programming and the Sooner Ally program.

“I’ve been wanting to work for the Women’s Outreach Center for a while and volunteered fa-cilitating many programs,” Adams said. “When the opportunity came togeth-er, it was perfect.”

A d a m s s t a r t e d h e r new position Monday and is focused on the “Step In, Speak Out” pro-gram, a sexual awareness program.

Herrin, who is seven-months pregnant, has continued to teach the SummerWind Youth Ballet Camp. Herrin said the camp is tough because she teaches mul-tiple classes in a row rather than having breaks in her schedule like during the spring and fall semester. For more, visit OUDaily.com.

DEATH

Worker dies after falling from Headington Hall

NATHAN ROBERTSONCampus Reporter

A construction worker with Universal Roofing and Sheet Metal died Monday morn-ing from internal injuries after falling four stories on campus.

O U M e d i c a l C e n t e r

spokesman Eric Ferguson confirmed the death of con-struction worker Colby Shaw at 9:14 a.m. from injuries sustained after falling from Headington Hall, the new Sooner residence hall being constructed on the corner of Lindsey Street and Jenkins Avenue.

Shaw fell from the build-ing’s roof and was airlifted to OU Medical Center, according

to the OUPD report.Construction firm FlintCo,

which oversees the project, has partnered with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to conduct an investigation, company spokeswoman Dana Birkes said.

“The preliminary investiga-tion indicates that the worker involved had not secured his fall protection,” Birkes said.

The accident happened about 9:15 a.m., she said, consistent with OU Medical Center ’s t ime-of-death estimate.

OU President David Boren

issued a statement Monday on behalf of the university.

“All of us at the university are deeply saddened by this tragedy,” Boren said. “Our love and sympathy go out to the family of Colby Shaw.”

The investigation is ongo-ing to determine the specifics of the incident, Birkes said.

Jazz in June will span three days — Thursday through Saturday — and each day will offer something a little different, which is shown in the names of each night: Blues Under the Stars, Jazz Under the Stars and Jazz in the Park, respectively.

The festival also features clinics for aspiring musi-cians led by the world-class musicians of the festival.

Jim Johnson at KGOU said the seats inside have been filled. However, he said speakers will be hooked up so people can listen to the clinic outside in the shade if they can’t get a seat.

Johnson also said getting

there early could help en-sure people get a seat.

Blues Under the Stars is led by Carolyn Wonderland, a blues guitarist from Austin. Wonderland was featured in this year’s June issue of “Guitar Player Magazine.”

Composer and pianist Bert Dalton’s The Brazil Project will headline Jazz Under the Stars on Friday night.

The final headliner is six-time Grammy Award-winning saxophonist David Sanborn. He has 24 albums that have sold thousands of copies.

A f t e r Thu r s d ay ’s a n d Saturday’s shows, there will be jams where anyone who wants to can go on stage and play.

OU will not adopt gender-neutral housing but will create a coed freshman area where men and women can live — al-though still in separate rooms, President David Boren said.

Boren’s announcement follows a letter he wrote to The Daily in the spring in which he said he will make the decision before students move into residence halls in August. The letter was in response to a student-led rally March 7 in support of gender-neutral housing.

The coed area will be a pilot program with a limited number of living spaces that will be evenly balanced between genders.

The program is a step toward what other universities have, such as Oklahoma State University, Boren said in a statement.

Oklahoma State’s program has been available since about 2006, said Matthew Brown, director of

Housing and Residential Life. OSU’s program is coed by unit.Student focus groups showed a desire for this type of hous-

ing, and approximately one-third of OSU housing is coed, Brown said. Coed housing gives OSU officials flexibility when determining housing assignments, and there have been no is-sues created by it so far, he said.

The details of OU’s pilot program — such as location and size of the area — are not yet determined and will be based on student interest, but university spokesman Michael Nash con-firmed that the suites will be segregated by gender.

Reaction to decisionBoren met with the Gender-Neutral Housing Coalition,

which includes members of several student groups, on March 26 and May 2 to discuss a possible policy change and to listen to the students’ viewpoints.

In Tuesday’s statement, Boren said he is not changing the housing policy because the university wants to create a sense of community by avoiding “separation by group identity.”

But coalition members reject the idea that gender-neutral housing means segregating students.

Coalition member Carly Calans said she thinks the administration is missing the point because the pilot program will be split between men and women.

“Not everyone fits into a binary gender,” said Calans, women’s and gender studies senior.

Coalition member Laurel Cunningham said she was disappointed the university will not change its housing policy but believes Boren was open to student input.

“I feel he truly did listen to our concerns and that the chang-es that he plans to implement are very important and neces-sary for the cause,” Cunningham said.

Cunningham said she can understand how the current political climate would make it difficult for OU to implement gender-neutral housing.

Work continuesThe coed pilot program is a step toward providing more

flexible options for students, said Kathy Moxley, Women’s Outreach Center director. Moxley also was involved in the

decision-making process.Calans said there needs to be more understanding about

the issues, but she said she is thrilled action has been taken in response to student interest.

Student Organizers Collective, one of the student groups that was involved in the coalition, will continue to push for the

program to be permanently adopted and then expanded, said Calans, the collective’s represen-tative in the coalition.

Elizabeth Rucker, who represented Students for a Democratic Society, said she thinks Boren and university officials believe bullying and ha-rassment are not major issues at OU. But coali-tion members are trying to raise awareness that bullying and harassment are present on campus — and they need to be addressed, she said.

“We applaud the first steps that Boren has taken to affirm adult students’ ability to chose their own living situation and protect LGBTQ

students, but more has to be done,” she said.Rucker said the coed area for freshmen is a great first step,

but officials need to continue working with students.“We want a student-led advisory committee that works

with the administration and staff to implement gender-neu-tral housing, ensure further reforms to protect students and to make the campus welcoming and safe for all,” she said.

Other stepsIn addition to the new coed area, the university will work

to improve the environment for students with special housing

needs through steps Boren outlined in a press release. These include:

• Resident advisers will be required to take mandatory sensitivity and resource training related to gender orienta-tion to help ensure students feel comfortable in their living environment.

• Housing and Food Services will respond to urgent room-change requests within 24 hours, and if officials assign stu-dents to a single room for safety reasons or special circum-stances, students can continue paying their previously deter-mined rate.

• Rewriting contracts in order to inform freshmen that they can discuss special housing needs confidentially with Diane Brittingham, Housing and Food Services associate director and Residence Life director.

• Upperclassmen who want special consideration for hous-ing options may contact Brittingham at 405-325-2511.

Brittingham and Housing and Food Director Dave Annis will work with Student Affairs to offer the resident adviser training and rework the housing contracts, Nash said.

Brittingham confirmed the new procedures and said the department is looking forward to the work. Brittingham did not comment further on Boren’s announcement.

Boren thanked the students who worked with him through-out the process.

“Cooperation among our students and staff allowed us to formulate initiatives we feel will be beneficial to all of our stu-dents,” Boren said in a statement.

TOBI NEIDYSports Reporter

Oklahoma track teammates junior Tia Brooks and se-nior Brittany Borman like to do things in pairs.

Both student-athletes won national championships in their respective events during the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships earlier this month — Brooks in shot put and Borman in javelin — and both helped lead the Sooners to a seventh-overall ranking this season, earning 10 points apiece to apply to the team’s total point count during the competition.

Both titles also were his-torical firsts for the OU pro-gram as Brooks became the first Sooner to win an outdoor championship in shot put while Borman repeated as the national champion for the second consecutive year to be-come the first Sooner to win back-to-back titles at the out-door nationals.

And now the teammates — and roommates — will tack-le one more feat together in the next two weeks: training together to compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials held at the end of June in Eugene, Ore.

“It’s nerve-racking, but we’re excited to make some-thing happen,” Brooks said. “But we’re around each other every day, so we know what we both have to do in order to succeed.”

Brooks — who already has qualified to compete for the U.S. Olympic team by obtaining an A standard with her 62-foot-4-inch throw earlier this year — will need to out-throw just one participant in the upcoming trials in order to earn a plane ticket to the 2012 London Olympic games.

Borman, on the other hand, will need to achieve the A standard of 200 feet in the javelin trials before being able to punch her ticket to the games across the pond. Her lon-gest throw currently stands at 194-feet, 11-inches.

No female member of the OU track team has ever brought a gold medal back to Norman, but having that op-portunity to get to the international stage is all the moti-vation Brooks and Borman said they need going into the trials.

“It’s been all of our dreams to try out for the Olympics,” Borman said. “And that just gets us more fired up at practice.”
