Push for penny sales tax begins Boren’s education initiative officially filed ANNA MAYER News Reporter @AnnaMay136

OKLAHOMA CITY — The campaign for a proposed sales tax to fund education began Wednesday after a group of Oklahoma teachers led by OU President David Boren filed paperwork with the Oklahoma Secretary of State to launch a petition for the tax. The initiative suggests raising

Oklahoma’s sales tax by 1 cent to benefit state education. If successful, the income generated by the tax would decrease the teacher shortage, improve college affordability, increase literacy rates, improve graduation rates and expand career training, according to a press release. It should also provide early learning opportunities for atrisk and low-income children. However, the tax increase would give Oklahoma one of the highest sales tax rates in the nation. “We came to the sales tax as a last resort,” Boren said. Boren said

polls showed that raising property or income tax was unpopular among Oklahomans. Boren was the first to present this tax as an option for solving the education crisis in Oklahoma. Boren emphasized that he will be pursuing this venture as a private citizen. Boren is heading a group called Oklahoma’s Children, Our Future to promote the initiative. “Oklahoma is not just a place that believes in equal opportunity for the affluent,” Boren said.

A Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication alumna has entered the final stretch in the completion of her film that has been in the works for three years. The film, “Struggle & Hope,” focuses on several towns around Oklahoma that historically and currently have all-black populations. Kari Barber, the film’s director, received a bachelor’s degree in journalism from OU. Barber is currently an assistant professor at the Reynolds Jo u r n a l i s m S c h o o l a t t h e University of Nevada, Reno and has been a part of 13 films, she said. The project, according to Barber, has two parts. The first is a website that has over 20 video documentaries and an interactive capability that allows users to share their stories if they belong to one of these historical towns. The second is a longform documentary that follows five main characters in four Oklahoma towns. Barber said she has set the project’s first deadline for the beginning of March 2016. She said she appreciates the pressure because she likes the teamwork aspect and the push to fundraise. “(I) want as many people as possible to see this film and know about the towns and know about the history and know about these really interesting stories in Oklahoma,” Barber said. The project has been funded by the Oklahoma Humanities Council and by Kickstarter donations. Barber said she wants the film to be screened at every film festival in Oklahoma, especially in the towns that have a part in the project. She hopes to show the film on TV and make it available to schools for educational purposes as well, she said. Mary Smith mcsooner19@gmail.com

NEWS HUGS: Continued from Page One breaks, up until then, and it was like, ‘finally, we can sit down.’ And at the end it was like ... not only did we just break a world record, but now we also get to not do this ever again.” It all began last semester when Thompson approached Kannenberg before final exams. “I feel like the driving force was procrastinating from finals,” Thompson said. “I’m a big fan of novelty, and it felt like a great idea to break a world record.” Thompson was certain about breaking a partner record, which is something done with another person. He just wasn’t sure what. “We looked up a bunch and settled on longest hug, because it’s something that we don’t really need a specific skill to be able to do or (have) a specific speed of doing things,” Kannenberg said. “We basically just needed to power through it.” Kannenberg and Thompson applied to break the world record last semester but didn’t hear back until August. Once they knew that they had been approved, they decided to follow through. However, they weren’t prepared for the curveball thrown their way that would lengthen their hugging time by about three hours. “We had heard about a couple trying to break this

In order to eliminate partisan politics from the process, Oklahoma’s Children, Our Future is trying to gather enough signatures on the petition in 90 days to add the sales tax proposal to the November 2016 general ballot. That way, Oklahoma citizens can vote on it. The petition will need 135,000 signatures to appear on the 2016 ballot. At the conference, several advocates spoke about the tax. Boren began the press conference, followed by Chickasaw Governor Bill Anoatubby, mother of two Lindsey Barbour and interim superintendent of Oklahoma City Public Schools David Lopez. “To provide a quality education for their children is the best help we can give them,” Boren said. “That’s the American Dream, to rise to the top.

And then we kind of picked 32, 32, 32 for the novelty of it, and it was over 32 hours.” After planning and confirming the rules, it was time to try, and according to Kannenberg, it was not their finest hour. “It was really, really hot because it was a small room, and there were way too many people,” Kannenberg said. “We hadn’t really figured out what to do. We hadn’t figured out how to stand yet. I was thinking, ‘I don’t know if this is actually going to happen.’” “That first hour, we had our pit crew fanning us with things at some points, and it was bad,” Thompson said. “I wasn’t sure we were going to get it at that point. As soon as the second hour started, it was better. It was less hot, the thermostat had been turned down. We got somebody to bring a fan, and that helped a lot.” As time went on, it got e a s i e r.

we’re not providing quality education. We’ve got to do something.” “It breaks my heart to see so many of my fellow teachers leaving Oklahoma schools to teach in bordering states or leaving the classroom entirely for a more livable wage,” Sheehan said. “I encourage all Oklahomans to join us in this movement.” Boren said Oklahoma ranks 49th in the nation in funding per student, and the press release cited that almost 40 percent of Oklahoma high school graduates who attend a public university arrive unprepared for the high level classes. “We have no other option but to give the people of Oklahoma an opportunity to invest in our children’s futures,” Phyllis Hudecki, former state secretary of education, said. “If we don’t address school funding now, we will continue to lose ground and lose teachers.” Toby Keith and Garth Brooks have already voiced their support for the proposal, Boren said.

and not hug each other during breaks. H o w e v e r, w h e n t h e y weren’t on breaks, the two struggled most with dayto-day activities that many people don’t think about, like scratching their noses, eating or talking with their hands. “It wasn’t that bad, not being able to feed ourselves,” Thompson said. “It was just kind of funny, a lot of points, having our friends come and scratch our head or feed us food awkwardly while trying not to block the view of the camera too much. We were also kind of delirious, so everything was kind of funny.” After all of the delirium and numbed hands, Kannenberg and Thompson were finally able to let go of each other. They let go, high-fived and then hugged once again. Then, they laid down on the sofas in Baird Lounge, called their parents and finally went home. Now, all they have to do is wait for up to 12 weeks to hear from Guinness World Records. “The good thing about a partner record,” Thompson said, “especially a will-power-related one, (is) even if there was a point where I might really have wanted to stop, not only would I have been like, ‘I can’t do this to myself and have hugged for this long and not do it,’ but there’s also the sense of, ‘I can’t do this to Ben.’”

NASA researcher speaks CLASSIFIEDS on Galileo space mission J Housing Rentals

Talk at National Weather Center focused on Jupiter

The flyby of Earth marked the first time an interplanetary device had passed the Earth, which gave some of the astronomical scientists an idea of running an article titled “Is there life on Earth?� that featured in the magazine “Nature,� Lopes said. “Turns out there wasn’t a lot of obvious evidence that there (were) large amounts of methane (that) would indicate that huge beings could exist there, which may be why no one has visited,� Lopes said. Once in orbit, the mission faced yet another problem when its satellite did not deploy properly, Lopes said. This meant that the information that would be sent back to Earth would not be as large or as complete as planned, which actually prompted the team to hire Lopes, she said. She was asked to use the limited feedback of infrared images and draw conclusions from them, she said. “It wasn’t a lot of information,� said Lopes, “but it was enough.� Galileo missed its first chance to do a close flyby of Io, the volcanic moon that so interested Lopes, she said. It did, however, do close flybys of all three of the other moons, which ended up sending back indicators of a possible subterranean ocean beneath Europa, Lopes said. This was a revelation which deeply excited the scientific community, Lopes said. The discovery excited them enough that another mission, which will focus more heavily on Europa, is planned for the future, Lopes said. The team eventually did a flyby of Io, which revealed a sulfur-ridden surface with even more volcanic activity than expected, Lopes said. “It was jokingly nicknamed the Pizza Moon because it is largely yellow,

The mission aimed to study the chemical composition and physical state of Jupiter’s atmosphere, Lopes said. It also studied the structure and physical dynamics of the Jovian magnetosphere and the chemical and physical states of the Jovian moons, Lopes said. In her presentation Tuesday, Lopes began with a brief history of Galileo Galilei and his original discovery of the four Jovian moons, which she said are nicknamed Galileo’s stars. She then moved into an overview of the history of the Galileo flight mission, which faced many problems from its birth, she said. The mission was pushed back twice and was even considered being dropped altogether, Lopes said. “We joked that Galileo would end up in the Smithsonian because it was never going to Jupiter,� Lopes said. How e ver, the Galile o mission was eventually a go, and in accordance with Lopes, with some clever propulsion science. The team of people working on the mission used the gravity of the planets to push Galileo faster, using Venus, then Earth twice and even an asteroid, Lopes said.

and the black spots could resemble olives,� Lopes said. The surface of Io was indeed volcanic, though its age and size would indicate that it should have cooled long ago, she said. One explanation given for why Io has not cooled was that the gravity of Jupiter is pulling on Io, the closest of the four moons, Lopes said. As a result, the gravity of the other three moons are pulling it another way so that the surface of Io is being rubbed and rocked, heating it up, she said.

Emergence difficult for stars A&E REPORTER

Allison Weintraub allison.weintraub@ou.edu @AllieFrances12

Several pop stars owe their careers to the Disney channel. However, shedding the innocent Disney image can cause some artists to go to the extreme. There’s a long history of women in Disney turning to extremely sexual music after leaving the company. Britney Spears started her career on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, then moved onto being a pop superstar. Once she was 18, she was featured on a sexual Rolling Stone cover, began to record more explicitly sexual songs and kissed Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards. Following Spear sexual transformation, Christina Aguilera, who also started on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, became dissatisfied with her bubblegum pop image soon after turning 18, recording songs like “Lady Marmalade” and “Dirrty” to shed her “good girl” image. In the 2000s, many Disney starlets struggled to find as much success after leaving the company, even when they became more sexual. The most famous example is Lindsay Lohan. After starring in many Disney movies, Lohan moved to a singing

career. She recorded some songs for her films and released a few albums. Unfortunately, in casting off her Disney image, she went to an extreme and started abusing several substances. Since then, her career has been in limbo, the public criticizes her, and her name has become a punch line. There are some less extreme examples from the early 2000s. Hilary Duff, suffered very few (if any) scandals during her career with Disney, eventually taking a break from music to start a family. However, within the last year, Duff came out with a solid performance from her “Breathe In. Breathe Out.” album, which has reintroduced her to the industry without becoming extremely sexual. Vanessa Hudgens has gone from “High School Musical” fame to staring in “Gigi” on Broadway, which has been scrubbed of any dirty jokes. However, Hudgens’ reputation took a hit when intimate pictures of her surfaced when she was 18. Current artists trying to get rid of their innocent Disney image include Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus. Gomez’s recent album release “Revival” is full of references too adult for Disney. Demi Lovato released “Cool for the Summer,” a song that coyly hints at a same-sex partner. “Confident,” Lovato’s new album, is also more mature than any of her Disney releases. Miley Cyrus has been

constantly in the news for her strange lyrics and constant references to sex, weed and living outside of society’s rules. Cyrus has been causing controversy since she was on the Disney Channel, starting with a Vanity Fair photo shoot in June 2008 that drew controversy. The photo showed Cyrus apparently topless and wrapped in a silk sheet. Since then, her career has been riddled with scandals—especially with her performance of “Party in the USA” at the 2009 Teen Choice awards and the song “Can’t Be Tamed,” while still under the Disney brand. All of these women want to be taken seriously as artists outside of their Disney pasts, that much is certain. There is a trend of these women immediately assuming an extreme form of sexuality as soon as they hit the age of consent, which may not set a prime example for younger fans. However, for older fans, seeing their idols become comfortable with their sexuality may be inspiring and motivational. The trick for all of these former Disney stars is to find the sweet spot between the two sets of fans to maximize their influence. It can be powerful to see starlets demonstrate positive sexuality, but the trick for the pop princesses is learning where to draw the line between positive sexuality and explicit pandering.

OU ceramics students will be selling premade pots the general public can glaze Friday at the annual fundraiser, Fuego Friday, according to a press release from the School of Arts and Art History. Fuego Friday benefits the Red Clay Faction, a reistered student organization, and the students that are participating, assistant ceramics professor Stuart Asprey said.

The money raised for the Red Clay Faction will help fund art events to aid students, like the visiting artist programs, exhibitions, conferences and lectures, Asprey said. “We’ve made about 30 to 40 vases for people to glaze. We’re going to fire them for you so you can take them home that night,” Asprey said. Unfinished vases will be sold for individuals to glaze. Ceramics students will also be selling their own work, including cups, bowls and pots, he said. “There’s about a 70/30 split — 70 percent of profits go to the student who made the work and 30 percent goes to the Red Clay

Faction,” David Stevens, a third-year MFA candidate in studio arts, said. The ceramics department has prepared over 30 vases for people to glaze, Stevens said. Costs for student work or vases to glaze range from $10 to $40, he said. Fuego Friday will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at the OU ceramics facility located at 401 E. Congress St., according to the press release. Jessica Barber jessiedylan16@gmail.com

Joe Washington to promote his new book on Saturday DILLON HOLLINGSWORTH Sports Editor @DillonJames94

Former Oklahoma running back Joe Washington will hold a book signing at the OU bookstore Saturday. Washington, who has been the executive director of the Varsity O Club since 2007, will be promoting his new book, “The Seven Secrets of the Silver Shoes.” Although Washington is best known for his contributions to the 1974 and 1975 national champion OU teams, he said his book is less about the game and

more of a collection of life lessons viewed through the lens of his playing days. “People find out a lot about my life and my parents, my upbringing, how the silver shoes came about, whose idea it was and the reason for it,” Washington said. “I correlate a lot of my football stories with the life lessons I’ve come across.” Washington finished in the top five in Heisman voting and was named an AllAmerican in both the 1974 and 1975 seasons. He was the fourth overall selection in the 1976 NFL Draft and had a 10-year career in the league. In 2006, he was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame.

The goal of the book is simply to help people learn something, Washington said. “ Hop efully (it helps) someone try to continue down the right path or give them a thought process to confront if they are doing the right thing — something along those lines. Whether it’s a kid or an adult or somebody — my momma always told me this — you can learn something from any and everybody. Either how to or not to. Even people you don’t like,” Washington said. “Hopefully I can get rid of enough books where people get that one thing out of it.” Washington said students as well as parents are welcome to bring photos or

anything else they would like to have signed or just stop by and talk about football. Washington will sign from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. Dillon Hollingsworth dillon.j.hollingsworth-1@ou.edu

Sooner soccer aims to reverse road woes OU heads south for conference clashes with Texas and TCU SCOTT HINEY soccer reporter @scotthiney

After going undefeated for seven games, the Oklahoma soccer team finds itself in a place it hasn’t been since Sept. 13 — on a losing streak. After consecutive road losses to Kansas and Baylor, both by a 1-0 score, the Sooners find themselves on their first losing streak since losing games to Santa Clara and Stanford on Sept. 11 and 13. The team’s record now stands at 8-6-2, with all six losses coming away from

John Crain Field in Norman. The team continues its string of road games as it takes on Texas and TCU this weekend. Texas boasts a 4-1-1 conference record and has won three straight games. TCU sits at 2-3 in conference and has lost its last three games by a combined score of 8-1. Despite losing its last two games, Oklahoma managed to outshoot Kansas and Baylor by a combined total of 20-19. With that in mind, coach Matt Potter understands the offense isn’t completely effective, but they do need to capitalize better on their chances. “It’s very difficult to come by opportunities, but when

you do get them, you’ve got to take them,” Potter said, noting the quality of the teams Oklahoma is playing. Potter discussed the mental toll of losing games and how that doesn’t discourage him. “Obviously when you don’t score, you lose that little bit of self belief sometimes,” he said. “Practice has proven that we can still score goals so that’s encouraging.” Offensively, the Sooners have struggled recently, as they’ve scored just one goal, in their last four games with that goal coming on Oct. 2 in a 1-0 over Illinois State. Freshman Kaylee Dao scored that lone goal, and she can see what has led to

the scoring drought. “I think we just need to start working as a group,” she said. “These last couple games, its just been very individualistic.” “We’ve stopped working together and working off of each other, and work ethic is a big thing, especially defensively. We have to put pressure on the defense, and in the past that’s created a lot of chances for us,” she said. Dao may have a point. Du r i ng t h e t e a m’s s e ven-game unb eaten r un before the last two losses, Oklahoma was outscoring its opponents 10-2. Both Potter and Dao talked about confidence playing a factor, whether the team is

winning or losing. The team has had two losing streaks early in the year and after both, the team went on a winning streak. After losing the first two games of the year on the road to Furman and No. 11 South Carolina, the team reeled off three straight wins. And after its losses to Santa Clara and No. 2 Stanford in California, the team went on a seven-game unbeaten run, including three games against ranked opponents. “Well, we often talk about ‘don’t get too high when you win, don’t get too low when you lose,’” Potter said. “It’s finding that kind of balance in your performance that continues to push you

forward.” Dao echoed her coach’s sentiments when asked about her team’s confidence during the losing streak. “We’re definitely confident in our ability,” she said. “We just need to come out here in practice, work on it. I know and have confidence that in these next three games and in the postseason we’ll be able to score.” The Sooners take on the Longhorns at 6 p.m. Friday in Austin before facing TCU at 1 p.m. Sunday in Fort Worth.
