AROUND THE WORLD TO OU

Four international students discuss their lives in the U.S.

In his home country …Once students choose their majors, they

must stick with them, which forces students to decide what they want to do with their entire lives immediately after high school, Sietins said.

He came to OU because …OU’s liberal arts programs and scholar-

ships for international students appealed to him. He also liked that the university al-lowed students to change their majors over the course of their college experience.

It took some time for Sietins to adjust to …• Size of the campus: Sietins said he went

from a school with about 200 students to a school with 20,000. “The huge community just overwhelms me sometimes,” he said.

• Warmth of the people: In Latvia, Sietins said, people aren’t as friendly or polite. If you were walking down the street and some-one smiled at you, you would think there’s something wrong with that person, he said.

• Hot weather: Sietins said in Latvia, his family is experiencing fall-like weather. “I had never experienced such a warmth in my whole life,” he said.

In his home country …After completing his undergraduate de-

gree in his native country, Abraham worked as an aircraft maintenance consultant and was sent all over the world on business trips that lasted one to two months.

He came to OU because …Abraham said the U.S. has some of the

best engineering technology in the world, which makes it a prime place to improve himself as an engineer. He also said the U.S. seemed to be a good place to expand his view of the world and learn about new cultures.

It took some time for Abraham to adjust to …

• Eating schedules: In India, meals are much more structured, Abraham said. In America, he sees people eating constantly. “You eat when you walk. You eat when you study,” Abraham said.

• Transportation: In India, people rely on public transportation, Abraham said. “Here it’s just opposite. You don’t have public transport and everybody has cars,” he said.

In her home country …Vidovic is from the Croatia-Bosnia area,

where wounds from the bloody conflict that occurred in the 1990s still have not healed.

She came to OU because …OU has a strong emphasis on internation-

al students and studies.Vidovic said it was nice to feel that other

students were aware of international stu-dents like her, and it was nice to feel sup-ported as she explored a new country.

It took some time for Vidovic to adjust to …• Food: Vidovic said in Croatia, people

do not eat sweet meats. Food such as sweet and sour chicken shocked her when she first came here, Magdalena said. She couldn’t eat for her first two weeks at OU.

• Clothing: Vidovic said when she arrived in the airport in Oklahoma, the first thing she noticed were the cowboy boots and hats, and she thought people only wore those clothes in movies.

• Standard measurements: Magdalena said she is still adjusting to America’s mea-surement system after two years in the U.S.

In his home country …O’Kane’s home university, the University

of Wollongong, heavily encourages stu-dents to study abroad. “I think that’s why the university does it, because it’s great motivation to achieve something better,” O’Kane said.

He came to OU because …O’Kane had the option of studying in

California, but he said he found Oklahoma more appealing. “I wanted something a bit more true America,” O’Kane said, “So I thought, you know, I’m going inland to Oklahoma.”

It took some time for O’Kane to adjust to …• Driving on the right: Used to driving on

the left side of the road and walking on the left side of paths, O’Kane said walking on campus took some adjusting. “It took me about two days to figure out I’ve got to walk on the right because I just kept running into people,” he said.

• City size: O’Kane said all the American exchange students at the University of Wollongong said Oklahoma was in the mid-dle of nowhere. “The middle of nowhere in Australia is so much more remote,” he said.

Prices in vending machines rose recently, but don’t ex-pect it to happen again in the near future.

OU’s agreement with Coca-Cola and Great Plains Coca-Cola, the local distributing service in charge of vending ma-chines, includes scheduled price increases. Prices increased on Aug. 1, but won’t increase again until after July 2018,

when the contract expires.Last year, a 12-ounce bottle of Powerade cost $1.15 at a

campus vending machine. This year the same drink costs $1.25. Twenty ounce bottles of carbonated drinks increased from $1.35 to $1.50, according to the contract.

Most of the prices increased by 10 or 15 cents, and none of the price increases surpassed 25 cents. The items that in-creased by 25 cents were cold food and 16-ounce cans of en-ergy drinks, according to the contract.

The agreement between OU and Coca-Cola and Great Plains Coca-Cola began in August 2008. The recent increase is the last one in the contract, which runs through July 2018, according to the contract.

TRANSCRIPTION

History rewritten at library Family structure influences obesity

Scholars are needed to transcribe historic documents

PAIGE WRIGHTNews Reporter

Researchers at the Health Sciences Center found links between childhood obesity and the child’s family structure.

The new report suggests that factors relating to fami-ly structure, such as infrequent family meals, insufficient physical activity, not having siblings and having a personal TV in the child’s bedroom, play a role in childhood obesi-ty, according to the press release. In all cases, those factors were correlated with higher childhood obesity rates. The report’s principal investigator, Susan Sisson, is an assistant professor of behavioral nutrition at OU.

The study also found living in a household with two par-ents doesn’t always prevent factors that may cause child-hood obesity. Belonging to a blended family — a family that includes children from a previous marriage of one or both spouses — with two parents increases the risk for childhood obesity, according to the press release.

Sisson began looking into the topic after reviewing other studies, which showed correlations between divorced parents and childhood obesity, but Sisson wanted to de-termine if children in single-mother homes or two-par-ent, blended families were at risk, according to the press release.

“Some of the other research that we started to look into, there wasn’t really a lot that looked at the role of family structure,” Sisson said in a video news brief on Aug. 27.

Though the research was conducted from data compiled from a survey from April 2007 to July 2008, the results shed a different light on the numbers than previous research. Links between obesity and blended families were appar-ent, according to the press release.

The study covered two biological parents, two adoptive parents, blended families and single mothers, sorting the rest of the family structures into “other,” with very little in-formation on the other family structures, and no informa-tion on statistics of children with same-sex parents, either adoptive or with a single biological parent with a same-sex partner, according to the press release.

The report was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

The University Libraries staff is calling upon schol-ars and history buffs to help transcribe centuries-old documents.

F o r i t s T r a n s c r i b i n g the Past Project, Western Histor y Collections has opened up documents from the Civil War, and officials are asking interested people to help transcribe them.

“Transcribing original hand-written materials can be a very tedious, time-con-suming project if it’s done all at once by yourself, but if you get a lot of interested people working on it a lit-tle bit at a time, it’s a much easier task,” said Kristina Southwell, associate cura-tor of the Western History Collections.

One purpose of the proj-ect, which began in 2011 and will continue through 2015, is to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, Southwell said.

“It’s a wonderful opportu-nity for the students to learn firsthand what it was like to participate in the Civil War from these letters and dia-ries,” Southwell said. “The more generations we get re-moved from the war, I think the truth what it was like for the everyday enlisted per-son is less and less known.”

Each document in the Civil War collection will

be transcribed separate-ly by two anonymous peo-p l e. Th e n , t h e We ste r n History Collections staff will compare the transcrip-tions using software that will highlight inconsisten-cies between them, and the committee will select which one is closest to the original document. The documents will then be published on the OU Libraries website, Southwell said.

The project will also make the documents more easi-ly accessible to students as well as to the public. The transcriptions will be easier

to read as well as searchable on computers, Southwell said.

“It’s easy nowadays for people to pull up e-books and other things on the in-ternet, but until recently, ac-cessing original manuscript materials was very difficult,” Southwell said.

The OU Libraries received a grant from The Amigos Fellowship and Opportunity Award Program for the proj-ect. They are using it as a research project to explore the use of crowd sourcing to make other collections more accessible in the future.

The transcriptions will raise the profile of spe-cial collections at the OU Libraries, Southwell said.

“There are a lot of great collections here on many different topics, not just Civil War materials that stu-dents can use,” Southwell said. “We hope that this will inspire some students to come by and see what else we have.”

Our View: We believe Oklahoma must be held accountable for its violation of the First Amendment by closing the blind during Clayton Lockett’s botched execution.

Death row inmates across the U.S. have been used as guinea pigs for new or little-tested lethal injection methods in recent months. In fact, one of the most well-known instances of a botched execution happened right here in Oklahoma on April 29. Clayton Lockett, who received the death penalty for the 1999 murder of Stephanie Neiman, writhed on the execution table in obvious agony for nearly an hour after being administered an untested cocktail of lethal drugs.

Adding insult to injury, a lawsuit recently filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, The Guardian and The Oklahoma Observer attests that correctional officers lowered the blind be-tween the execution chamber and the viewing area 16 minutes into the execution — presumably after it became obvious Lockett would not die a humane death. This is an abhorrent and clear vi-olation of the First Amendment’s freedom of the press.

The death penalty exists as the ultimate punish-ment in 32 states, but we believe the government is no better than the criminals on death row if it cannot ensure humane deaths for inmates. And the fact that Oklahoma correctional officers and prison medical officials felt they could literally ob-scure the process from the public eye is terrifying.

Laws exist permitting the media to view and

report on executions because without that over-sight the public would have no way to hold the government responsible for its actions. In fact, “Meaningful access to, and oversight of, execu-tion proceedings is critical to the public’s and the courts’ ability to assess the propriety and law-fulness of the death penalty,” according to the lawsuit.

It’s frightening enough knowing the death pen-alty exists in our state, but it’s un-thinkable to imagine a society that permits prison executions to be carried out with no level of trans-parency. Thankfully, that is not the case, but the officers in that Oklahoma death chamber veered dangerously close to making it re-

ality when they shut off Lockett’s death from the viewing reporters.

Our justice system hinges on public oversight throughout the judicial process, from the court-room to the execution chamber. By lowering the shade, Oklahoma prison officials effectively nullified freedom of the press and violated the public’s ability to oversee legal proceedings. We hope the ACLU is successful in its lawsuit against Oklahoma, and that in the future prison officials are held to the standard of transparency the First Amendment demands.

EDITORIAL

Open execution chambers Graduate research needs an archive

COLUMN

There is a need for an online archive of under-graduate senior theses and capstone projects at OU. It’s not because undergraduates can’t

think of original topics themselves. It’s almost the oppo-site. Undergraduate research would be held to a higher standard and given more weight if seniors could build off past students’ research. In fact, the nature of research and capstone experiences demands an archive. This ar-gument is particularly true with experimental capstone experiences that do not end with publication in a re-search journal, but it is also true with other kinds of cap-stone experiences.

Let me concede that some undergraduates may find it difficult to choose a topic, but that is the most superfi-cial argument for the archive. Students could be able to piggyback off of past student’s work. That’s bad, right? Wrong! That is the nature of research, in my view at least. There is hardly such a thing as completely original re-search. For example, it would be difficult to add to the collective knowledge of microbiology from the ground up without first inventing a microscope or discovering the physics of optics be-fore that and so on. This is not even considering new, necessary mod-ern hurdles like ethical standards set by review boards. (I’m looking at your rabies vaccine test-ing, Louis Pasteur.) All researchers are standing on the shoulders of giants who themselves stood on the shoulders of giants.

This brings me to my next point. For one, it’s more interesting when research is a motivated hunt for an-swers. Students wouldn’t have to repeat some of the same uninspired projects year after year, and the graders wouldn’t have to keep reading about them or lend as much guidance with topics. More importantly, students could actually get a chance to be truly inspired by past work and to contribute new knowledge. Then, provided public availability, other sources outside of the univer-sity could potentially expand upon that knowledge. This could lead to OU undergraduate research getting some serious attention, which looks good for students and for the university.

Even the act of archiving our work itself would be beneficial. It would encourage a polished report and honesty. If my name is going to be publically attached to something, I want it to be the absolute best in every way and not just the minimum for my target grade. I would imagine that the temptation to fabricate data for conve-nience would also be minimized since the work would be out there for public scrutiny and duplication. Again, this is the nature of research. Experiments have to be re-peatable to be meaningful, and what better way to show students how it’s done?

It seems that OU likes to follow in the footsteps of Ivy League institutions, so I should note that Harvard, Stanford and Princeton have their own archive systems for undergraduate research projects. Though some OU departments have some record of past capstone expe-riences, most are difficult or impossible to find and the information given on the projects are certainly difficult to duplicate or build upon. Regardless, if the nature of the capstone experience is to expose students to realis-tic research and use what they’ve learned, an accessible archive would allow for a better analogue to the disserta-tion and would simply be more useful overall.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

Protect what you have worked so hard to hold on to. Careful time man-agement and the ability to delegate tasks will prevent you from becoming run-down. Keeping on top of your own ventures will be of paramount importance, so donʼt let others do the work for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Emotional issues will become more pronounced if you arenʼt honest. Be diplomatic, but donʼt lie to protect othersʼ feelings or avoid an argu-ment. Truth will be your saving grace in the end.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Plan an event with friends. An enjoyable eve-ning of entertainment will provide a welcome diversion from work-related stress and personal problems. Some interesting news is coming your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Make your fi nances a priority. Look into moneymaking schemes that will increase your revenue stream without a major cash outlay. Donʼt share personal matters prematurely. Protect your reputation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If others seem especially trying, look at your actions and consider if you are the cause. Perhaps you have been too demanding or short-tempered. Be honest and strive to be more considerate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- This is not a good time to reveal your private plans or secrets. Aim to be a leader, not a follower. Someone you trust will let you down. Cover your back and take care of your own responsibilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- One way to attract infl uential followers is to get involved in humanitarian causes. You can make a difference if you adopt a leadership position and express your point of view.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You may be feeling anxious or hurt. Rather than dwell on negative events, take this opportunity to do something enjoyable that will ease your mind and lift your spirits.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Donʼt let others make decisions for you. Plan to spend some time outdoors or get involved in a cause that you feel pas-sionate about. You will be inspired if you visit an old friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may feel burdened by the needs of an older relative. Take a moment to address your own needs, but donʼt overspend in the process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Stay on an even keel and donʼt let your emotions exhaust you. Stewing over an unhappy event will lead nowhere. Channel your energy toward love and affection instead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An industry or work-related function will provide you with the perfect chance to meet someone new and exciting. Uphold your reputation at work by performing well and putting in some overtime.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will have no problem making a lasting impression. Be prepared to step into the limelight. A physical challenge will be invigorating and rewarding.

Student sticks it to Xerox sweatshopSWEATSHOPS

DAISY CREAGERNews Reporter

While many tourists were parasailing and snorkeling during their summer vaca-tion, one student went to the Dominican Republic to protest.

C o m m u n i c a t i o n s j u -nior Dan Upp went to the Dominican Republic this summer after joining the ca mpu s g rou p S o o n e r s Against Sweatshops, which advocates on campus for equal rights for workers over-seas. The group was behind the effort to supply more fair trade apparel in the campus bookstore.

Over the summer, Upp went on a 15-day trip to the Dominican Republic through Solidarity Ignite, an organization that promotes workers’ rights around the world. While there, a group of 20 students toured a fac-tory, spoke with call center

and factory workers and protested with call center workers who answer calls for American Xerox customers.

“It made me feel extreme-ly lucky, knowing that just because I was born in the United States, I have it so much better for my entire life than people who are born there,” Upp said. “And

for people in the Dominican Republic, it isn’t even as bad as it is for people in factories in other countries.”

L o c a l s j o i n e d t h e American students and call center workers protesting Xerox against claims of sex-ual harassment, low wages and abuse of workers’ rights by management, Upp said.

“Basically all of our clothing comes from over-seas, so much of it is made in poor conditions,” Upp said. “I feel like it’s import-ant for us to do what we can to make it so that the people who are making things for us can have the same opportunities that we do.”

Leah Kennedy, music composition and human relations senior, visited the Dominican Republic on a similar trip in 2013. After she returned from the Dominican Republic, Kennedy and a friend founded Sooners Against Sweatshops, the group that inspired Upp to travel to the Dominican Republic.

“I think everyone here can agree that workers should not be treated the way they are by companies who are blatantly choosing to ignore workers’ lives,” Kennedy said.

VENDING: Snack, drink prices rise on campusContinued from page 1

These price increases apply only to items in vending machines, not the items bought at restaurants around OU, according to the contract.

Though other companies provide products for vend-ing machines, they are still required to sell them at the prices specified in the contract, said Dennis Murray of Great Plains Coca-Cola, because these companies are working with Great Plains Coca-Cola, Murray said.

Petroleum engineering senior Jaemin Jang said she only uses the vending machines if she forgets to bring a water bottle with her to campus. A 20 oz. bottle of Dasani water costs 15 cents more after the price increase.

NFL FOOTBALL

Former Sooners move to big leagues

When the NFL begins play this week, more than half of the league’s teams will have

at least one former Oklahoma Sooner on their sidelines.

OU has been a breeding ground for professional talent during the Bob Stoops era. Here’s a look at 10 Sooners who currently hold NFL roster spots.

In his rookie year, Stills’ 20-yards-per-catch average led the NFL last season. As Landry Jones’ favorite target at OU, Stills hauled in 24 touchdown receptions and more than 2,500 receiving yards. Now, the Saints’ receiver is looking to hook up more often with future hall-of-fame quar-terback Drew Brees.

talent during the Bob Stoops era. Here’s a look at 10

DeMarco MurrayDallas Cowboys

He rushed for over 1,000 yards twice in his college career and Murray eclipsed the mark last season for the Cowboys. The running back is OU’s all-time leader in points scored and has established himself as Dallas’ go-to ball carrier through his first three seasons in the NFL.

Kenny StillsNew Orleans Saints

Gerald McCoyTampa Bay Buccaneers

The ever-smiling McCoy was an All-American at Oklahoma but his career has reached new heights in the NFL. In four years with Tampa Bay, the Oklahoma City native has been named to back-to-back Pro Bowls. McCoy recorded 9.5 sacks and 35 tackles in 2013.

Peterson is widely regarded as the best run-ning back in the NFL and his numbers back up the claim. “All Day” rushed for more than 2,000 yards in his historical 2012 season and has scored 86 touchdowns in his seven seasons with the Vikings. Sooner Nation was awestruck by Peterson’s ability and now he captivates the whole nation on a weekly basis during the season.

Adrian PetersonMinnesota Vikings

Jermaine GreshamCincinnati Bengals

The Ardmore, Oklahoma, native has more touchdown catches and receiving yards than any tight end in Sooner histo-ry. Gresham’s game has transferred nice-ly in the next level. Set to begin his fifth season with the Bengals, Gresham has 19 touchdown grabs on more than 2,000 yards receiving.

As Sam Bradford’s successor, Jones started 50 games over four years for the Sooners and compiled one of the more underappreciated stat lines in school his-tory. But after throwing 123 touchdowns in college, the quarterback hasn’t gelled in the NFL. He enters his second season as Pittsburgh’s third-string.

Landry JonesPittsburgh Steelers

A quarterback in high school and tight end converted to defensive end in his first two sea-sons at OU, Johnson finally solidified a spot on the offensive line. Two years later, the Eagles selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft. Johnson will miss the first four games this year for violating the league’s poli-cy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Lane JohnsonPhiladelphia Eagles

The Norman native hasn’t been able to stay healthy. Broyles’ senior year at OU was cut short after tearing his ACL and, in his rookie season with the Lions, the wide receiver sustained the same injury in the other knee. A ruptured Achilles tendon sidelined him last year as the injury woes have persisted.

Ryan BroylesDetroit Lions

Since winning the Heisman Trophy in 2008, Bradford has been hampered by injury. He took home Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2010 but missed 15 games over the next three years. Things haven’t gotten easier for the Rams’ signal caller as Bradford will miss the entire 2014-2015 season after tearing his ACL in the preseason.

Sam BradfordSt. Louis Rams

Williams won award after award in col-lege, and the accolades haven’t slowed down since his arrival in the NFL. In four seasons with the Redskins, the offensive tackle has notched two Pro Bowl appear-ances and 55 career starts. Williams was selected fourth overall in the 2010 draft.

Fruit and veggie slices + peanut butter:

Spice up your lunch with some salsa or sea-soned hummus. The mix of textures is sure to cure the hunger at-tack with a flavorful kick. Hummus is also a good dip for fresh veg-gie slices.
