The smell of curry and the sound of bagpipes, traditional storytellers and children’s laughter filled the classrooms and hallways of Collings Hall on Friday.

Je a n n i n e Ra i n b o l t C o l l e g e o f Education’s Celebrating Diversity in Education-Family Food and Fun Festival was the grand finale to a week of events celebrating diversity in education.

The festival featured speakers on

Korean, Chinese and Chickasaw cultures. Native American storytellers, dancers, children’s crafts, storybooks read by student volunteers, a potluck featuring ethnic foods and kilt-wearing bagpipers added to the festival’s events.

The event was a celebration, a chance to come together as a community and share the traditions of a variety of heritages that exist within the college and the university, said Patricia Hardré, associate dean for graduate programs and research for the College of Education.

However, it was also a chance for children and adults to experience aspects of different cultures and

remember education is not about the classroom but about the ways people interact in their differences, Hardré said.

“The fact that we’re all so different allows us to learn from each other,” said Katie Chadwick, counseling psychology doctoral student who ran a crafting booth. “If we don’t appreciate those differences, we can’t really learn and grow.”

The organizers of the event realized that vision of community as the week went on. As the concept of the festival grew, student organizations and faculty with a variety of cultural backgrounds see CULTURE pAGe 2

National Weather Center’s Flying Cow Café joins Fitter Foods The Flying Cow Café in the National Weather Center has joined the Fitter Foods initiative at OU. Fitter Foods puts items on restaurant menus that contain less than or equal to 500 calories, 15 grams of fat and reduced sodium, according to the OU Housing and Food services website.

The initiative is in response to a survey from students who wanted healthy options, said rhonda Winkelman, Housing and Food services manager for the National Weather Center.

The unveiling of Fitter Foods was strategic timing, Winkelman said. “you see in the spring semester that people like healthier options,” Winkelman said. “people have resolutions.”

In addition to previous menu items, the menu now features healthier versions of past dishes and completely new dishes. Nutritional information is also available on the menu for each item.

“It is a good idea that they are trying to emphasize it and try to put the word out that it is alright to eat healthy,” said meteorology sophomore Katy Franks.

Entrepreneurs and inventors came together for OU Startup Weekend this weekend to pitch ideas ranging from an app to help students buy and sell used textbooks to a cheat-proof calculator app to replace expensive calculators.

Facilitated through OU’s Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth, OU Startup Weekend is held to bring students and inventors together to make Oklahoma a place of entrepreneurial spirit, executive director Jeff Moore said. Moore would like to see students pairing with entrepreneurs and inventors in order to see PITCH-FIRE pAGe 2

Sooners get dressed up for a good cause Ninth annual pink and black ball raises money, awareness for cancer research HALEY DAVIS

campus reporter

Sooners danced the night away in a sea of pink and black Saturday to help support breast cancer awareness and raise money to find a cure for the disease.

Organized by OU’s Women’s Outreach Center, the ninth annual Pink and Black Ball was held from 8 p.m. to midnight in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Molly Shi Boren Ballroom.

The alcohol-free, semi-formal event gathers students, faculty and staff together in their best pink and black outfits to support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation and raise money and campus awareness for breast cancer.

The ball featured a live jazz band for the first hour of the night, with a live disc jockey providing club music for the remainder of the evening. Refreshments, hors d’oeuvres and a chocolate fountain were available to keep attendees well fed all night. mIrIAm meZZeTTI/THe dAILy Last year, 394 people attended the event, raising over education sophomore Veronica Hassink and Katie Skonezny $10,000 for the foundation, said K.C.

stepped up and came together, forming a network of partnerships that isn’t often seen within the department, Chadwick said.

The Celebration of Diversity in Education Week began on Friday, Feb. 1, with a presentation by Claudia Swisher called “Linking children’s and young adult literature to multi-culture canon”.

Other presentation topics included international education, discovering personal culture through art and issues of race, gender and identity in education.

The week was wrapped up quietly with a sunrise run led on Saturday morning by Navajo high school teacher, cross-country coach, and award-winning educator Shaun Martin, according to the event schedule.

The week also included several showings of the films “The Color of Fear,” which deals with racial issues, and “Racing the Rez” which documents Shaun Martin’s work on the Navajo reservation.

Martin said he led discussions following each showing and spoke with faculty and local high school students regarding his methods of utilizing culture as a catalyst in education.

“It’s a very simple process,” Martin said. “I’m using an ancient practice, the form of distance-running and our Navajo culture, and relating that to the Western idea of education to help prepare [my students] to be progressive individuals for their own futures.”

pitch-fire: Students given 60 seconds to pitch ideas for products, service Continued from page 1 “commercialize reality.”

Over 80 people attended the event, which is double the size it was last year, said Startup Weekend facilitator Jon Rossi.

Attendees pitched their ideas in “pitchfire” style, meaning the individual giving the idea had only 60 seconds to explain what his or her planned product or service does, why it matters and who they would need to make the idea a reality.

After the pitch-fire, attendees voted on the best ideas. At the end of the weekend, the groups presented what they worked on, and were judged by a panel for customer validation, the business model, execution and viability as a product or service. Seth Lewandowski, entrepreneurship senior, pitched an idea for selling used textbooks.

Instead of selling books back to the bookstore, students can use an app that would cut the middle man out, thereby making the buying and selling of textbooks simpler and easier on students’ wallets, Lewandowski said.

The idea reverberated positively with the

oud-2013-2-11-a-001,002.indd 2

crowd, since most of them were OU students.

Jordan Williams, management information systems senior, also wanted to use technology to streamline a process that hasn’t been changed in years.

His idea is a web service that automates the substitute teacher process, making it easier for school administrators to find adequate coverage for teachers who are absent, Williams said.

Another idea presented was for a “cheatproof” calculator.

Teachers usually do not allow the use of anything other than a simple calculator, i.e. no tablets or smart phones. This often forces students to buy calculators that may cost up to $150, said Christopher Demetree, entrepreneurship and venture management and general management junior.

To solve this, the app would require teacher authorization, Demetree said. Instead of carrying around multiple devices, the student could use just one.

EDITORIAL

Will your rep vote against fighting abuse?

Our View: Congress bickering over programs to

protect rape and abuse victims? It’s Déjà vu.

They’re at it again.

Some legislators in the Hill are threatening to stand in the way of the reauthorization of an almost 20-year-old law that protects victims of sexual and domestic abuse.

The federal Violence Against Women Act, first passed in 1994, provides more than $600 million annually to 25 programs that help prevent and respond to violence against women.

Congress failed to reauthorize it for the first time in 2012, due to partisan bickering, and its provisions expired in September. Now, with a new attempt to reauthorize the bill, last year’s carnival is repeating itself.

Though it has been reauthorized twice with unanimous support — both times with improvements — Republicans are again challenging the reauthorization on the basis of certain provisions added to the act to ensure it covers all victims.

Including, apparently, some victims they don’t find it necessary to protect.

The Senate is expected to pass the full version of the act today. But the House, like last year, will likely be a different story.

What does it do?

The impact of the Violence Against Women Act cannot be overstated, and extends beyond the federal level. It has provided more than $4 billion to state and local agencies in its history. Norman alone has received $100,000, according to Daily archives.

COLUMN

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Students’ brains not fit for marriage Greasy foods will damage students A s Valentine’s Day OPINION COLUMNIST approaches, the promotion of love between youthful couples upon my Facebook feed is as juvenile as teenage poetry.

To make matters worse, every week another preNathan Cranford mature engagement is annathan.a.cranford-1@ou.edu nounced. To those recently married before the age of 24, I wish you the best of luck, but as a friend, do not expect me to congratulate you.

Students are prone to go to college to look for a potential spouse as much as a job. This intention is overlooked.

Are young students mature enough to commit to a single lifetime partner?

Psychology suggests the answer is no. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports rational decision making, as found within the frontal lobes, is not fully developed until age 25. This suggests young adults should hesitate to act upon life changing decisions — especially when those motives have emotional undertones.

From an evolutionary perspective, male and female mammals hold different reproductive roles and face different challenges in terms of mate expectations.

Biologically, males benefit by possessing as many spouses as possible because they can propagate each day, while females benefit by finding a long-term mate because their reproduction rate can only go as fast as the gestational period allows.

I don’t think all choices should be grounded in evolutionary theory, especially in regards to decisions that have lifetime consequences. But the insights of evolutionary psychology can help inform our decisions for the better.

Children are the game changer. Marriage often is the result of an unintended pregnancy, and the couple reasons a family provides the most beneficial environment in which to raise a child.

This reasoning has merit but can be counterproductive if the couple attempts to force a relationship to work. As a corollary, the environment is tumultuous rather than peaceful and often leads to an unintended divorce as quickly as an unintended marriage.

The impression thus far is marriage is a futile exercise.

After all, would you willfully sign up for a class in which half the students statistically failed?

To the contrary, I would argue marriage is one, if not the most meaningful relationship a person can have in life. The widow Ann Druyan describes her marriage to the late astronomer Carl Sagan, “I don’t think I’ll ever see Carl again. But I saw him.

We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.”

As heartwarming as the preceding quote is, today’s youth are enraptured by the romance of marriage rather than all aspects of marriage. As a result, youths often go into marriage with unrealistic expectations and come out with more than they bargained for.

I recognize there are examples to the contrary, but they are few in comparison to the alternative. The person married at twenty will not be the same person at thirty.

A word of advice: Enjoy your twenties. Find a stable job.

Become financially settled. Mature a little. Marry at thirty — or don’t. You can thank me later. I would be happy for anyone to prove error to this line of reasoning, but I won’t hold my breath.

It is sad to see such a publication regarding fried food on your newspaper. The views presented from your editorial simply show none of the writers are aware of the impact of consuming fried food on public health.

Plus, it is very unfortunate your newspaper somehow is promoting the consumption of an unhealthy diet among the OU community. The most deceptive part of this paragraph is questioning the validity of a scientific study. A scientific study always is based on facts and must be verified several times before it is deemed as conclusive. How can the editorial team conclude “grease is good” without any scientific validation?

I am sorry to tell you this article seems to try to promote the consumption of fried foods as part of some kind of marketing strategy for the company mentioned in the article instead of educating the OU community by teaching them how to have a healthy diet and minimize the chance of possible health issues in the future.

It is not the first time I realize that your newspaper has printed very debatable opinions about public health matters.

I recall The Daily was against the tobacco ban at OU. As an active means of communication, I believe your newspaper should not take positions in subjects that seem to be not completely understood. Providing a neutral view would be more appropriate for a newspaper led by students.

Also, I really believe your newspaper should consult with a scientific advisor to get some advice before issuing statements that directly hurt the health of the OU community. It is also very sad to read that the newspaper is planning to ship food items to the author of the study and is attempting to gain more attention by asking others to do the same.

Nathan Cranford is a philosophy senior.

The OU men’s basketball team looks to ride the momentum of its win against KU when it takes on TCU at 6 p.m. tonight at Lloyd Noble Center.

Sooners knock off No. 5 Jayhawks OU snaps two-game skid, beats Kansas for first time since 2005 Garrett Holt Sports Reporter

The Oklahoma men’s basketball team led for almost the entire game as it upset No. 5 Kansas, 72-66, Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center.

The Sooners (15-7, 6-4 Big 12) took the lead with 14:53 left in the first half and never trailed again, withstanding multiple Jayhawk runs.

Kansas (19-4, 7-3 Big 12) had a last-ditch effort at a comeback fall short after cutting the lead to 68-66 with 15 seconds left. OU held off the Jayhawks thanks to clutch free throws from freshman guard Je’lon Hornbeak and junior guard Cameron Clark.

“The key is that Je’lon likes being there,” coach Lon Kruger said. “He shot them well, even the one or two that he missed (earlier) were in-and-out, and I think the fact that he shot them well made him want to go back again later in the game.”

Not only did Hornbeak keep Kansas at bay with his free throws, he also hit the biggest shot of the night — a 3-pointer with 1:29 remaining that pushed the Sooner lead to 66-61.

“I had passed up a couple (shots) just trying to get Roe (senior forward Romero Osby) going,” Hornbeak said. “But he just told me (to) be ready to shoot. I got it, sized it up, saw that I had a lot of space and I took it.”

While Hornbeak had the endgame heroics, the true star of the night was Osby, who pestered the Kansas frontcourt all game.

Osby finished with team-high totals in both points and rebounds, finishing with 17 and eight, respectively.

“I had a lot of opportunities to drive today,” Osby said. “I made my first few jump shots, which is kind of how you have to play against [Kansas senior center Jeff Withey]. It ended up just working out in my favor.”

Withey was one of the few Kansas players to be consistently effective, finishing with 14 points and six rebounds.

However, it wasn’t enough, as the Sooners snapped a ninegame losing streak to the Jayhawks that dated back to 2005.

This upset may prove to be important come NCAA Tournament selection time, as OU finally got the signature victory that their résumé had been lacking.

“Obviously, any time you beat a Kansas club, you feel very good about it,” Kruger said. “I’m mostly happy for the players and the fans. Those spontaneous celebrations are hard to put a value on.”

Oklahoma holds off Tulsa at home for fifth win of season Sooners swap No. 1 and No. 2 players in big rivalry win Sam Hoffman Sports Reporter

The in-state rivalry continued Friday night as the No. 8 OU men’s tennis team beat the No. 17 Tulsa Golden Hurricane in Norman.

The Sooners bounced back from their close road defeat to No. 7 Kentucky with a complete team victory as they beat Tulsa, 5-1.

The team now is 5-1 this season, pushing Tulsa to 3-4.

“Tulsa is a good team, as we know over the last few years,” coach John Roddick said. “It was a tough match.

The whole team contributed to the win, starting with the doubles point. OU’s No. 1 double tandem, senior

Costin Paval and sophomore Dane Webb, defeated Tulsa’s duo, senior Clifford Marsland and sophomore Alejandro Espejo, 8-4, and clinched the doubles point.

The singles lineup was different for the Sooners on Friday. Normally-No. 1 singles player, Paval, switched places with the No. 2 singles player, junior Guillermo Alcorta.

Roddick said it was to maintain lineup flexibility. However, he also mentioned the unselfishness of Paval and how Alcorta earned a shot to play in the No. 1 position.

“You want to have options as you go through the season,” Roddick said.

“Traditionally, throughout the season you never keep the lineup the same.

The lineup change proved no problem for the Sooners as they dominated the singles portion.

Freshman Axel Alvarez notched the second team point for the Sooners, beating senior Grant Ive 6-1,

6-2. Shortly after that, freshman Leonard Stakhovsky knocked off freshman Carlos Bautista 6-3, 6-3.

Finally, to seal the win, junior Peerakit Siributwong defeated senior Tristan Jackson 6-3, 6-3.

Once the team victory already was in the books, senior Costin Paval decided to finish his match anyway. He won in straight sets, beating junior Japie De Klerk 6-2, 6-4.

Paval said the team has been waiting for a match where they all played a complete game for a while.

“It really felt like a team,” he said. “Everybody at every position fought really hard, and the level was pretty high. You’re on the court and you can feel it. It’s the best feeling you can get in

Series portrays D.C. corruption

t’s about time a cutthroat political drama made its way to Netflix. After a long wait, “House of Cards” has proven a successful program, reminiscent of the “power is everything” tone of the famous television series, “The Sopranos” and the “relationships top achievements” theme of “Mad Men.” The program stars Kevin Spacey as Democratic Congressman and House Majority Whip, Francis Underwood. Underwood will stop at nothing to make his way to the top. Through manipulation, questionable morals and an unmatched political acumen, it is clear he will climb over those above him to one day become an unstoppable force in the United States government.

An original program from Netflix, “House of Cards” does not bring a new episode every week; it is offered a whole season at a time. The first season, containing thirteen episodes, premiered Feb. 1. The abundance of episodes is a great feature Netflix is able to offer because each installment of the series ends with a cliffhanger. However, it can be frustrating when spoilers pop up all over the Internet.

Although the series’ content may seem dry on paper, in reality it is exciting and relevant. The series explores an idea of what could really be going on in

Art Provided

Washington, D.C. and offers a fresh perspective on how our nation is run.

In the “real world,” it more or less seems like our senators and congressmen are angelic beings that sacrifice their personal lives for the good of the American people. “House of Cards” suggests the media provides a shield for these elected officials, allowing them to do whatever they please as long as any questionable decision can be covered up.

The program is accurate in displaying the legislative process at work; however, it may come as a shock to some viewers that Washington, D.C. could be filled with such an immense amount of corruption. To anyone who already has doubts about the sincerity of government

officials, “House of Cards” will only increase them.

It seems as if every episode in the series increases in severity as a way for the program’s writers to introduce the audience to their negative perception of American leadership.

The first episode hardly scratches the surface of the grounds of corruption, but following episodes dig progressively deeper beneath it.

Although it is clear corruption among political figures is the major theme of the show, there is the underlying matter of current technology and its place in Washington, D.C. From the way text messages are displayed in conversational format on the screen as they are sent and received to the manipulation that can be manifested using

social media, “House of Cards” suggests technology plays an enormous role in the disintegrating integrity of politicians.

From an entertainment standpoint, Netflix has clearly outdone itself. The show is crisp, well directed, carefully written and magnificently performed.

Even with a cast unfamiliar to most television connoisseurs, there is never an unconvincing moment.

Each episode is captivating and involving; ever so often, there will be a pause in which Congressman Underwood will stare at the audience and explain his actions or give some sort of backstory, similar to the interview sessions in “The Office,” yet in a more serious tone.

When all is said and done, “House of Cards” is a unique political drama that portrays a suggestion of how corrupted American politics could be with today’s manipulative media and abundance of technology. It is sure to captivate the viewer and place his or her mind in Washington, D.C. among the decision makers. With seamless transitions, fantastic actors and an easy-to-follow, yet strangely twisted storyline, it will keep any viewer yearning to know the next step in Congressman Underwood’s ever-developing plan.

ith little over Life & Arts Columnist a month left until spring break, many of us are finalizing plans for vacations with friends and family. However, if you’re like me and are not loaded with expendable inBrent Stenstrom come, spring break may brent.e.stenstrom-1@ou.edu seem like a bummer.

Have no fear; I have a solution for those willing to listen. Donate plasma today to save lives and precious money for your spring break, or just to earn some extra pocket money. It sounds worse than it really is.

When I first heard about donating plasma from a friend, I had my concerns, but after donating the first time, all of my doubts were silenced.

How it works: Your first visit is the most time-consuming; allow yourself at least two hours to complete the process. When you first arrive at CSL Plasma you will need to have your social security card and driver’s license.

After you read the informed consent binder, you will be told to stand behind one of the doors where an employee will determine if it is safe for you to donate. When you finish that process, you will be directed to a computer screen to watch a short video discussing what the plasmapheresis process is.

When you finish watching the video, all that is left between you and an easy payday is a simple physical exam with a doctor. When you finish the exam, you are set to start donating plasma.

The rest is pretty easy. All you have to do is sit there and let them stick a needle in one of the veins in the crook of your arm, and that’s it. The process normally takes 45 minutes to an hour to complete. Just a heads up, at the end of the process, the machine shoots your red blood cells back into your body mixed with saline. It is pretty chilly when it goes back into your body.

The money you receive per donation depends on your weight. If you weigh more than 175 pounds, then you get paid $50 for your first, second, and fifth deposits and $35 for your second See more online and fourth donations.

Visit OUDaily.com After that, your first dofor the complete story nation will earn you $20, and the second in a week oudaily.com/news/ae earns you $40.
