OU’s Student Government Association will be polling the student body during November general election to gauge interest in having an American Sign Language course at OU. The course would count as a foreign language credit and would be a part of the Modern Languages, Literatures and Linguistics department, said Connor Bourland, public relations chairperson for the Undergraduate Student Congress and the bill’s author.
the class will be written by next semester, Bourland said. Part of the future legislation will include a petition for faculty to teach the new course and funds to pay faculty salaries, Bourland said.

ith her round glasses and tendency to knit scarves during class, junior Anastasia Malouf said her classmates think her interests align more with those of an elderly woman than a college student. “It’s funny because I wear these glasses, and I’m knitting and people are like, ‘You’re a grandma!’ and I’m like, ‘I know! I’m so happy!’” Malouf said. Malouf, a religious studies major, started OU’s Knit & Purl Club last year to meet people with similar interests after she transferred to OU as a sophomore. “I basically started it to meet new people and to meet people with similar interests, and I just love knitting, and it’s so therapeutic,” Malouf said. “So I started this thing on Facebook, and people came over to my house and we’d knit and hang out and talk.” The group began through Facebook, and then people started coming over to Malouf’s house to hang out and knit. It eventually became an official student group in March. From there, Malouf wanted the group to be more philanthropic with their knitting.

STUDENT AFFAIRS
Last year, the club volunteered with the Christian Family Institute in Tulsa to teach kids how to knit. Meteorology junior Rachel Frazier, who has been part of Knit & Purl since its first meeting, said the children were excited to learn to knit. “There was one kid — a guy, actually — who came and he just fell in love with it. He was like, ‘This is so amazing. This is so relaxing,’” Frazier said. “It was so great to see him fall in love with it.” This semester, Knit & Purl plans to make hats and booties for babies in the Oklahoma City’s Children’s Hospital, Malouf said. While Malouf said the group’s Facebook group has over 50 members, relatively few people show up to the meetings. Frazier said she hopes the club will grow and encouraged students of all levels of knitting expertise to give it a try. Even if students don’t know how to knit, Frazier said the group was “more than happy” to teach them. “We just want people to come, people that share the same passion for knitting that we do,” Frazier said. “We want to find those people in the OU community and try to get them to come and hang out with us.” SEE KNIT PAGE 2

OU archaeologists will open their labs for public tours and demonstrations Saturday for Oklahoma’s Archaeology Month. This October marks O k l a h o m a’s f i r s t e v e r Archaeology Month, with museums and archaeological centers hosting events across the state. “O n e o f t h e g o a l s o f this month is to learn about all the archaeological projects happening in Oklahoma right now,” said Stephanie Stutts, a graduate research assistant for the Department of Anthropology. Events will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday in Dale Hall, room 905, with coffee, donuts and discussions with archaeological staff. Attendees can then visit four labs around campus to learn about their projects, Stutts said. T h e f i r s t l a b, r u n b y Bonnie Pitblado, is where researchers study Native American sites in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Visitors can view recovered artifacts and learn about archaeological methods and procedures, Stutts said. Another lab of

Aside from the community benefit, Malouf and Frazier agreed that knitting is personally rewarding. “I’m the kind of person who tries to go through things really quickly, and this is something that I actually have to keep up with. So I like that. It challenges me,” Malouf said. “I just think that knitting’s just a great thing to do in life. I know that sounds really cheesy, but you can just make so much out of just one little skein of yarn.” Frazier, who’s been knitting for about two years now, said she was impressed with what other people can make by knitting. “I can never see myself being at that level ... but it’s kind of cool to watch ... yourself create something that you can wear or give to other people and people will actually appreciate it and actually like it,” Frazier said. “That’s what makes it special for me.” While Knit & Purl was a registered student organization last spring, it wasn’t re-registered in the fall. Malouf is currently working to re-register the group.
Later on in her career, Boren invited her back to work with him in Washington as a tax and budget adviser, legal counsel and legislative director, according to a 2004 article in Sooner Magazine. Garrett also clerked at the Supreme Court.

OUR VIEW
LETTER TO EDITOR
Discovery of Ebola in Dallas should not affect OU/TX fans
‘Sooners’ should not substitute for ‘brave’
Our View: The first diagnosed case of Ebola in the
U.S. was confirmed in Dallas on Tuesday, but that doesn’t mean Sooners should go selling their Red River Shootout tickets for fear of contracting the disease. Many Sooners, including members of this editorial board, were frightened by the news that the first diagnosed case of Ebola in the U.S. was confirmed in Dallas on Tuesday. It seems like every other OU student is from the Lone Star State, and Dallas is only about a three-hour drive south of us, so it’s understandable that many students were unsettled by the diagnosis. However, it’s incorrect and ignorant to assume that by going to Texas you will now contract Ebola. Thousands of Sooners will make the annual trek down to Dallas next Friday to watch the Red River Shootout football game, and we want to offer fans an explanation of the Ebola virus as well as a few tips for staying safe and healthy as they enjoy OU’s likely thrashing of The University of Texas. First, we feel it’s important for students to understand that Ebola is a virus, not a bacteria, and that it is not an airborne illness. Ebola is a serious, often fatal virus that is first transmitted to humans from infected animals. Ebola then spreads from person to person through direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids, such as through broken skin or mucous membranes. The current outbreak of the virus in West Africa is the largest known Ebola outbreak since the disease was discovered in 1976, according to the World Health Organization. The incubation period for Ebola is anywhere from two to 21 days, and a person with Ebola does not become infecOur View is tious until they develop symptoms the majority of the disease. Early symptoms inopinion of clude sudden onset of fever fatigue, The Daily’s sore throat, headache and muscle nine-member editorial board pain. Considering the symptoms resemble those of many other more common illnesses, Ebola can be difficult to diagnose. There is not currently an official vaccine for Ebola, but two Americans — an aid worker and a doctor — infected with the disease while working in Liberia experienced full recoveries after receiving treatment in the states. We encourage students to educate themselves about the current outbreak in West Africa and consider donating to organizations providing medical care and education in impoverished regions instead of proclaiming it’s the apocalypse because
I
am a U.S. Army veteran having served during the Vietnam conflict. I want to thank Ben Huddleston, an OU music composition freshman, for his Wednesday, Sept. 24 letter to the editor titled, “Sooners: Let’s keep traditions in check.� Ben points out that he is disturbed by the replacing of the word “brave� with the word “Sooners� at the end of the “Star Spangled Banner.� I represent all my fellow veterans when I say that we agree with Ben when he states that the national anthem is the one moment of a sporting event that isn’t about the splendor of the university. Ben expresses how we veterans feel when he states that the national anthem is the one moment to stop and reflect upon the millions of men and women who have died serving in our armed forces to protect our rights we enjoy as members of this great and free country. I am a University of Oklahoma graduate who takes great pride in supporting our great university and our athletic teams. I am proud of the great support our students, graduates and fans give to our university activities and programs. We have a great tradition, but I agree with Ben that we should not substitute the word “Sooners� for the word “brave� at the end of the “Star Spangled Banner� and call it a part of the Sooner tradition. Thank you Sooner fans for your continued great support! GO SOONERS!! Delbert Cross , OU Class of 1963 and Army veteran

Dr. Edward Goodman, epidemiologist at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, speaks about the nature and treatment of the Ebola virus during a news conference at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014, in Dallas. Health officials assured that the recent Ebola case in Dallas is being contained.
Ebola dared to make it to our country undetected. The U.S. has the infrastructure and medical technology to easily handle most diseases, so a rampant outbreak in the states is highly unlikely. That being said, here are a few tips for staying safe and healthy, not only at the Dallas fairgrounds during the OU vs. UT football game, but also in general. As the Centers for Disease Control Director Thomas Frieden explained in a press conference Tuesday, the Ebola virus can easily be killed through simple hand washing. Many rural or impoverished urban areas in West Africa do not have regular access to clean water and soap — basic necessities Americans often take for granted — and that has contributed to the recent outbreak of Ebola. We encourage students to practice careful hygiene and be careful about coming into contact with other people’s blood or other body fluids. Lastly, don’t panic. The chances of a widespread Ebola outbreak occurring in the U.S. are slim to none.

Sooners prepare to face TCU’s strong defense OU comes off bye week improved, healthy and encouraged by coaches CARSON WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor @CarsonWilliams4
The stunning loss to TCU in 2005 still lingers in the mind of Bob Stoops and loyal Sooner fans. At the time, the Horned Frogs were a non-conference opponent that had upset the heavily-favored Sooners in Norman. Now in their third year in the Big 12, coach Gary Patterson’s squad is still known to give Oklahoma a bit of frustration. Stoops’ side has only won by a combined 10 points in their last two meetings. This year, Patterson has lethal weapons on both ends of the ball. TCU’s defense is one of the best in the Big 12 even without Preseason Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Devonte Fields, who was dismissed from the team earlier this year. “They do a great job,� co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. “They see their keys really well and they make you earn everything.� Defensive tackle Chucky Hunter and safety Sam Carter head the monster that is the TCU defense, both earning spots on the Preseason All-Big 12 Team. Hunter and Carter are two of nine returning starters for the Horned Frogs that led the league in rushing defense a year ago. TCU will have their hands full in stopping the run, even with sophomore Keith Ford likely sidelined for another week, Stoops announced Monday. They will have to contain freshman Samaje Perine and sophomore Alex Ross. One thing Heupel and the Sooners expect is for TCU to load the box and take away — or limit as much as possible — the run game that has worked so well for OU thus far. “You run the ball the way we have the last couple weeks, people are going to load it up on you,� Heupel said. Perine has quickly risen in popularity after his breakout performance against West Virginia two weeks ago. With Ford unable to go, Perine said he is prepared to take on the workload that he saw at West Virginia. “I’m always prepared to do what I have to do to help the team,� Perine said. In addition to the physical defense, the Sooners will also have their hands full with veteran quarterback Trevone Boykin who is a threat not only with his arm, but with his feet as well. “He’s always had great talent,� defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “His arm strength, his ability to make plays on his feet — he’s a very complete player.�

Sophomore quarterback, Trevor Knight, throws the ball to his intended reciever during the game against Tennessee on Saturday Sept. 13 at Gaylord Family Memorial Football Stadium. The Sooners beat the Volunteers 34-10.
Boykin is coming off a stellar performance against SMU where he led the Horned Frogs to a 56-0 shutout, earning the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose National Player of the Week Award. The junior racked up 280 yards on 23-of-36 passes and four touchdowns. “You can see his accuracy is much better, much different this year and his ability to throw the ball accurately and very precisely gives them a lot of different options across the field,� Mike Stoops said. The Sooners are coming off their first bye week of the season, and one that was beneficial in many ways. It gave players like Zack Sanchez — who has an interception in his last five games — a chance to heal injuries. It also gave young wide receivers another week to improve and work their way into the game rotation. Wide receivers coach Jay Norvell had high praise for a handful of players during the off week, including K.J. Young, Michiah Quick, Jordan Smallwood and Jeffrey Mead. “They’re going to play really meaningful snaps and it’s going to be against veteran Big 12 players and it’s going to be in a championship environment,� Norvell said.

Q&A
Artist talks about soul music, concert booked just a week after everyone started rehearsing together. How ambitious of him was that? How did it shape the beginning of this musical journey? JR: The story is actually true, and you know not just me but everyone in the band had some pretty formidable credits to their name already. Fitz is just very ‘shoot first, ask questions later.’ You know, a lot of people spend Kelly Rogers their lives debating ‘should I do this, should knrogers@ou.edu I not do this? Maybe I’ll do this in like a few @knrogers months, when I feel more confident about n a whirlwind of French charm, it.’ And that’s the trajectory that most people dreamy indie rock and soul-filled take. But Fitz is just very much, ‘You know pop, three groups will set the stage what? Let’s do this and we’ll figure it out.’ And Thursday night at the Downtown Airpark that’s one of the parts of our success, I think, in OKC for a night of distinct musical styles is his attitude. blending across the board.

actually a roadie for a friend of mine. It was a club in LA, The Troubadour, and all I had to do was unfold a keyboard stand, put his keyboard on top of it and plug it in. So that was my first time at a club and I spent the entire night in a corner just freaking out, because I was terrified about that moment that I was going to have to get on stage and plug in the
keyboard. I almost couldn’t do it because I was so terrified. But I managed to plug in the keyboard. Being as terrified as I was, it’s ironic that I do what I do now, because I have to step on stage in front of a bunch of people but luckily for me I have a big keyboard setup in front of me to buffer me.
