JUMPING AHEAD Sooners focus attention on upcoming conference play

he No. 3 Sooners are 3-0 heading into conference play after notching a 56-14 win over Tulane Saturday night, but their victory didn’t come without cause for concern. Oklahoma was riding high a f t e r u p s e t t i n g t h e n - No. 2 Ohio State 31-16 on Sept. 9 in Columbus, Ohio, but it’s often big games that allow teams to get ahead of themselves. The Sooners fell into that funk this w eek, star ting slow against Tulane, and bringing up the question of whether they’ll be able to keep their momentum going before their next big game. “For the most part our mentality was good,” Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said. “We weren’t at our best early in the week, and I thought we started to respond as the week went on, as we continued to challenge them as coaches. I think we’re growing, but I think we’ve got to understand you’ve got to put together complete weeks if you want play complete games.” OU struggled early against Tulane, with junior tight end Mark Andrews giving up a fumble, and the Sooners’ defense allowing 205 yards two minutes into the second quarter. Senior quarterback Baker Mayfield said the slow start was due in part to not being as focused in practice, something he

KELLI STACY • @ASTACYKELLI takes full responsibility for as a leader. “The Ohio State game was not our highlight of the year,” May f i e l d sa i d . “ We have n ’ t played a conference game yet, so we’ve got to focus in and take it one week at a time and just really play with that chip on our shoulder like we did and like we have throughout this year. You can’t take a win for granted. Tonight wound up being a good win, but it started way too slow and we’ve got to improve on that.”

“You can’t take a win for granted. Tonight wound up being a good win, but it started way too slow and we’ve got to improve on that.” BAKER MAYFIELD, SENIOR QUARTERBACK

Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said OU’s play wasn’t completely unexpected, as big games tend to have that effect on teams. “That game plays on you mentally and physically,” Stoops said of the Ohio State game. “That was a very emotional game and that can wear on you. It was physical, we got back late, it was a late night… It was a little bit of

a struggle getting them up this week, but we were able to execute good enough on both sides of the ball to distance ourselves from that team.” The Sooners aren’t slated to play another big game until the Red River rivalry on Oct. 14 when they play Texas. They face Baylor in Waco, Texas, on Saturday before coming back home to take on Iowa State on Oct. 7 and then heading into a bye week. Neither the Bears (0-3) nor the Cyclones (2-1) are ranked, but OU needs to get out of the lull it was in at the beginning of the game against Tulane if they want to avoid an upset and keep their momentum high for the ever-unpredictable game against the Longhorns. Despite starting slow, the Sooners were still able to manage an impressive win, with 631 total offensive yards. They were able to rebound thanks to a pick six by sophomore corner Parnell Motley in the second quarter. “We’re very excited about the poise our guys kept,” Riley said. “We know we’ve got to play better early, but when you can respond like that, when things don’t go your way, you’ve got a chance.” Kelli Stacy

Art curator gets creative at Fred Jones Jr. Collection caretaker readies exhibits for public’s enjoyment ROBYN CRAIG @robyncraig21

Walking through the Eugene B. Adkins gallery’s white walls, curator Hadley Jerman’s face filled with excitement as she showed her favorite painting in the collection, “The Village” by Ernest L. Blumenschein. The painting displays an aerial view

of what Jerman believes could be a funeral event for the people of Taos, New Mexico. The buildings merge with the landscape, a feature of the painting that Jerman loves. Providing a background for both the painting itself and the artist, Jerman’s voice filled with enthusiasm, citing facts about the artist that a regular museum visitor may never know. “I always think about his connection to music and how everything holds together in his paintings compositionally, in a way I think is like music. It’s like a type

of composition,” Jerman said. Jerman is in charge of rotating collections through the Eugene B. Adkins gallery collection, whose American West theme matches Jerman’s master’s degree and doctoral work. Jerman began working for Fred Jones in July 2016. Growing up, Fred Jones was the first museum Jerman, a Normanite, remembers visiting. “It seemed kind of natural, I think, to apply for a position here,” Jerman said. Cur rently, she is w orking on her checklist that involves

rotating the current Adkins gallery, consisting of paintings and sculptures of southwestern American art — combining two facets of her job, meticulous research and creativity. METICULOUS WORK Various sculptures are featured on the gallery’s floor, and beautiful paintings hang on the walls. Jerman is responsible for this delicate arrangement, holding high standards that can be seen in her long to-do list. Putting together an exhibit can take Jerman up to two years.

She has been working on a temporary exhibit set to open next October since “almost immediately” after she began working at Fred Jones. The two-year planning includes an 11-step checklist that begins with writing a proposal, requesting loans and finishing off with working with the museum’s prep department to bring together the exhibit. The design of the exhibit is where Jerman’s creative eye comes to her benefit. What see CURATOR page 4

Students rally to support DACA Crowd assembles to back children of immigrants at OU IPEK DUMAN

@Ipek_Duman1

OU students and faculty members gathered in solidarity with students affected by DACA before a crowd of more than 100 at a “Support the Dream” rally Sept. 15 on the South Oval. The rally came 10 days after President D onald Trump announced a decision to rescind DACA , o r D e f e r re d A c t i o n f o r Childhood Arrivals, a program providing work and travel permits for two-year periods and protection from deportation to undocumented immigrants who came to America as children. Trump reached an agreement with top Democrats Wednesday to protect the 800,000 DACA recipients in the country. Ja b a r S h u m a t e , v i c e president for the University Community, said the event was about making sure the 80 DACA students on OU’s campus understand the university is committed to helping them stay here. “We will stay vocal and vigilant, and we won’t stop until policies are embedded,” Shumate said. Judith Huerta, a speaker from Dream Act Oklahoma, said DAC A brought the promise of protection from deportation and gave her the ability to legally work in the U.S. “(Rescinding DACA) is an attack on people of

color from white supremacists,” Huerta said. “We refuse to be used as bargaining chips to pass hateful policies.” Several of OU’s DACA students also lent their voices to the event. Carlos Rubio, industrial and systems engineering sophomore, said his parents shouldn’t be demonized

for providing him opportunities. “I stand here as a community member, as a student and as a dreamer,”

Rubio said. Vanessa Meraz, director of the Student Government A s s o c i a t i o n ’s d e p a r t ment of inclusivity, said

“I stand here as a community member, as a student and as a dreamer.” CARLOS RUBIO, INDUSTRIAL AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SOPHOMORE

in planning the event, her goal was to provide more information about DACA in general, as well as share personal stories from those directly affected by the ending of DACA. “More needed to be done,” Meraz said. “I think it’s more powerful when it comes from the people who are affected, and I’m

affected by the termination of DACA.” Psychology sophomore Diana Prieto encouraged crowd members to keep calling their representatives and to keep fighting. “I’m fighting for my sister because she doesn’t have a voice,” Prieto said. “I’m tired of the limitations we have, because this is my home.” Daisy Barrios, mechanical engineering freshman, said she attended the rally because the event was relevant to her own life. “As a kid, my father was an immigrant, and he didn’t get an education because he didn’t have the DACA opportunity,” Barrios said. “It just breaks my heart. We live the same life.” Pre-nursing sophomore Rosi Jimenez said DACA has completely changed the course of her life. “When I was in high school, I didn’t plan on college. I didn’t even know if I was going to graduate from college,” she said. “(After DACA was passed) I began trying hard in school and got scholarships for college. DACA motivates the Hispanic community so they know they can get farther in life.” Th e e ve nt c o n cl u d e d with a prayer and a short chant led by Meraz:“Sí se puede,” which translates to “Yes we can.” Ipek Duman

OU student-led group tailors tutoring to kids Organization looks to student interests for teaching help NICK HAZELRIGG @nickhazelrigg

When Matt Nguyen meets a student he’s about to tutor, the first thing he looks for isn’t academic ability. Instead, it’s personality and interests — the building blocks of a relationship that Nguyen says is central to the tutoring process. “When I see these kids, I see them as potential friends,” Nguyen said. “But how do you become friends with someone? You find commonalities with them.” The microbiology senior is the president of Catalyst for a Better Future, an OU student-led nonprofit organization that partners with local community service groups to provide academic tutoring to underprivileged children. Finding these commonalities, Nguyen said, not only makes the children more comfortable with the tutor but also helps with the tutoring process. “If they like playing video games, I can find a way to link math or science back to that, and they’ll be more interested in learning about it,”

Nguyen said. “We build relationships through commonalities, and we build trust through helping them with their subjects.” The Catalyst for a Better Future group, which has nearly 30 members, tutors youth from elementar y school through high school, most of whom come from broken households and are struggling financially, Nguyen said. Mathematics senior Younji Sohn is vice president of the group and said she also tries to personalize her sessions to the specific students she is tutoring by learning about their personalities. “Part of building trust is first of all showing them you’re competent in the subject you’re teaching them,” Sohn said. “Then, you want to do something like play games with them, show them you can have fun. We tutor them right after school, so they’re often pretty worn out.” Nguyen said when the students are more successful in school, they feel better about the tutoring and are excited to come back to learn more. Biochemistry junior Asim Ali, treasurer of the Catalyst group, said his goal wasn’t just to help the students learn, but to help them become more interested in

school as a whole. “I enjoyed learning about astronomy, and a girl I was tutoring said she was interested in that subject,” Ali said. “We want to broaden their horizons like that.” Ali said he often tries to emphasize different learning techniques, such as using mnemonic devices and memory games to help students learn subjects more easily. Sohn said she has discovered a passion for working with and helping kids t h ro u g h h e r t i m e w i t h Catalyst. “ The most impor tant resource that we have is knowledge we are gaining from the university,” Sohn said. “Therefore we want to utilize knowledge to our maximum strength to empower people in our community. Working with these kids opened my career up to possibly getting involved in pediatrics.” Nguyen said there will always be room for improvement in education, but through Catalyst he is able to make a difference. “I don’t think I’ll ever stop doing this, trying to be a support to my community,” Ali said. “That’s what I believe matters most.” Nick Hazelrigg

Alum to run for state House

Former OU leader to focus on budget in 2018 campaign SIERRA RAINS @sierrarains

A for mer OU Student Government Association president has announced his intention to run for a position in the Oklahoma state legislature. Daniel Pae, who served as the 2016 SGA president and graduated in spring 2017, announced via Facebook that he is running as a Republican to be the next representative for State House District 62, which includes the Lawton area.

“When I was here at OU, I made a similar decision to run for SGA president, not because I wanted the title or the glory, but because I felt that I had a decent plan of action and a very specific vision for what I wanted to do with the institution.” DANIEL PAE, FORMER OU STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

During his time at OU, Pae was integral to passing legislation and bringing programs to OU such as dead week reform, the bike share program and the OU food pantry. Since then, he has gone on to work in his hometown at Lawton City Hall. Pae said his decision to run for State House District 62 was based on similar aspirations to the ones he had when he chose to run for OU SGA president. “When I was here at OU, I made a similar decision to

run for SGA president, not because I wanted the title or the glory, but because I felt that I had a decent plan of action and a very specific vision for what I wanted to do with the institution,” Pae said. The four major objectives Pae said he hopes to address in his campaign are the state’s budget, education, small business and the military. Of those, the budget is his top priority, he said. “In my view, the budget is really the blueprint for any given thing. It shows you what your priorities are, what

you want to invest in and what programs you think are most important to the citizens,” Pae said. “Right now, I think the budget process is absolutely broken, just in terms of the way that members conduct themselves throughout it.” No matter the issue he tackles, Pae said he hopes to work with members of both political parties in order to achieve long-term solutions to his objectives if placed in office. “All of the challenges we face - whether it’s education,

the budget, the criminal justice system - they’re all going to require those parties coming together and working together to address them in a long-term manner,” Pae said. “I want to do my part for the sake of my generation to play a crucial role in all of that.” Pae said he is prepared to keep his promises as he did when sworn into office at OU and to provide people with straightforward plans and policies that will work to achieve the visions he has for his time in office. “My mom and dad always

taught me to keep my promises, and so that’s what I did when I was sworn in,” Pae said. “I intend to do my best in the coming weeks and months to make my case, and then ultimately, it’s up to the people of Lawton to decide who they want to be their representative.” For more information on Daniel Pae and his campaign, visit his website: danielpae.com.

OU Regents vote to make Graduate College interim dean permanent

The OU Board of Regents approved a new dean of the Graduate College at its Sept. 14 meeting. Randall Hewes, who has served as interim dean of the Graduate College since July 2016, has been named the permanent dean. “Randall Hewes is an outstanding leader,” said OU president David Boren in a press release. “The university is very fortunate that he is willing to serve as dean of the Graduate College.” Hewes has previously served as senior associate dean of the Graduate College, chair of the department of biology, chair of the Faculty Senate, a member of the Provost’s Graduate Education Task Force and member of the President’s Graduate and Retention Task Force. During his 16 years as an OU faculty member, Hewes has taught undergraduate courses in cell biology and molecular neurobiology and has mentored more than 50 students through his laboratory. His research focuses on genetic and molecular biology, and he has investigated how neurons respond to insulin, steroids and other cues, among other things. As dean, Hewes will manage 26 professional staff in the college, oversee the Graduate Council and oversee graduate admissions, enrollment and support services. Staff Reports

The OU Board of Regents has voted to approve a request to award a posthumous degree to Daniel Holland, a student who passed away while studying abroad in Germany this summer, at its September meeting. Holland will be awarded a posthumous Bachelor of Arts in Letters degree. Holland had completed requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in International and Area Studies, for which a degree will be conferred, and was 18 hours shy of a Letters degree. “I’m proud to recommend this posthumous degree,” said OU President David Boren at the meeting. “He was an outstanding person.” The decision is supported by the Department of Classics and Letters, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the senior vice president and provost, according to the regents’ agenda item. According to Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education policy, a degree may be awarded posthumously to recognize the meritorious but incomplete work of a student who is deceased. The request to award Holland with a posthumous degree will now go to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for ﬁnal approval, according to the regents’ agenda. Staff Reports

Injury list lengthens in Tulane win Poor health could make OU’s playoff goals out of reach KELLI STACY @AstacyKelli

The then No. 2 Sooners (3-0) struggled with injuries for the second week in a row, but still managed to get a 56-14 win over Tulane (1-2). Oklahoma has faced health issues this season, especially the past two games, with five different players leaving games. If the Sooners don’t get healthy soon, it could spell trouble for their playoff dreams, as the players who are suffering injuries are key to Oklahoma’s success. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said he doesn’t believe anyone who left S a t u r d a y n i g h t ’s g a m e suffered a serious injury, but he was unsure to what extent each player was injured. “I don’t think anything serious, but I haven’t had a chance to talk to our staff,” Riley said. The Sooners’ defense started the year with a decent amount of depth, but that wasn’t the case for long. Their depth took a h i t a g a i n s t t h e n - N o. 2 Ohio State on Sept. 9, when senior free safety Will Johnson and freshman Robert Barnes were both forced to leave the game, making OU rely o n s o p h o m o re C h a n s e Sylvie. Neither Johnson nor Barnes were cleared to play against Tulane. A f t e r l o s i ng mu l t i p l e players last week and still

defeating the Buckeyes, it was clear that the Sooners’ saying “we too deep” is something they live by. “It just showed the kind of mentality of this team,” Riley said after the Ohio State game. “They just were not going to take ‘no’ for an answer.” This week, the defense saw senior defensive tackle Matt Romar leave the game

during the second quarter, and senior linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo step out for a few plays, as well. Romar never reentered. O k l a h o m a’s o f f e n s e wasn’t left unscathed, either, with junior tight end Ma r k A n d r e w s l e av i n g t h e ga m e a ga i n s t Oh i o State and saturday’s game against Tulane in the seco n d q u a r t e r.

Motley sparks Sooners with defensive score OU cornerback turns game around in second quarter ABBY BITTERMAN @abby_bitterman

Tulane (1-2) and then No. 2 Oklahoma (3-0) were tied 14-14 when sophomore Tulane quarterback Johnathan Brantley took a snap and dropped back to pass. He threw the ball directly into the hands of sophomore cornerback Parnell Motley, who took off running with an open field in front of him. He cut across the field, picked up a block from senior corner Jordan Thomas and ran 77 yards to the back righthand corner of the end zone and took a knee. That moment was the turning point in the Sooners’ game against Tulane. “Some guys have to make plays, and Parnell’s a playmaker,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. Oklahoma beat Tulane 5614, but it wasn’t as easy of a game as the score made it

look. Before Motley’s big play, the Sooners struggled early, with a fumble from junior tight end Mark Andrews that allowed the Green Wave to score first. Oklahoma hung with Tulane, but with a slow start, the Sooners didn’t seem to be in control until the middle of the second quarter when the sophomore gave Oklahoma its first lead of the game. Before the pick six, Tulane had 205 yards offensively. After, Oklahoma only allowed 80 yards of offense from the Green Wave. “Once we got that interception return, I think that got our confidence going, and we played more aggressively within doing our job after that,” coach Lincoln Riley said. Thomas said Motley’s play was huge for the defense, especially since they were able to make Tulane go three-and-out on its next possession. “That just ignited it all,” Thomas said. “He got an interception and took it to the house, of all things. He put points on the board for the

defense.” The spark on defense also gave the Sooners a boost of confidence on offense. Oklahoma scored another touchdown on a pass from senior quarterback Baker Mayfield to sophomore running back Abdul Adams after Tulane punted. Mayfield said the team feeds off Motley and the energy he brings to the field. “He’s a guy that’s nonstop,” Mayfield said. The momentum clearly shifted after Motley kneeled in the end zone. The Ohio State hangover was done, and the Sooners took control of the game. Tulane, who had previously commanded the tempo, was silent the rest of the night. Motley’s interception was huge for the defense and the confidence of the team, settling it down and propelling it to 42-point victory. The Sooners will open up conference play against Baylor at 5:30 p.m. CT on Sept. 23 in Waco, Texas. Abby Bitterman abbybitt@ou.edu

accounted for 76 yards on four receptions against Tulane, and 233 yards on 13 receptions this season. A n d re w s ha d n ’ t f u l ly re c ove re d f ro m t h e i n jury he suffered against the Buckeyes, but played Saturday night anyway, showing how important he is to the Oklahoma offense. Riley called it a “nagging” injury, and said Andrews

will be OK. “He’s OK. He’s OK,” Riley said. “He’s had a little nagging deal, but it’s starting to get better. We had planned that if we were to get any separation we would get him out pretty quick, which we were able to do there p re tt y q u i ck l y a f t e r w e scored that first one in the third quarter.” The Sooners will look

to get out of their game against Baylor next week with minimal injuries so they can recuperate during their bye week Sept. 30. Oklahoma plays Baylor at 5:30 p.m. CT on Sept. 23. in Waco, Texas. Kelli Stacy
