RUNNING ON EMPTY Students struggle to succeed while hungry SIANDHARA BONNET • @SIANDHARAB HANNAH PIKE • @H_PIKE_

It’s 11 a.m., and she can already feel her stomach grumbling. Joelle Glimp, a social work and professional writing junior, has skipped breakfast. Again. As usual, her food for the day consists of either a small peanut butter sandwich or some pasta she made herself. Maybe she’ll have dinner, but maybe she won’t. It’s gotten to the point where she can no longer finish a full meal. Glimp fits in easily with other OU students — she is involved in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma — but what separates her is an invisible affliction she faces daily: hunger. “I don’t think people would assume that by looking at me because I’m involved in a sorority, but (my dues are paid through) full-scholarship,” Glimp said. “I think people have made a mold for what people who are hungry look like, and I don’t think people would think it would look like me.” Although she grew up in a traditionally affluent area, Glimp describes herself as being from a lower-middle class family. She’s grown accustomed to living somewhere not befitting her socioeconomic status, she said. Rather than living in her sorority’s house, Glimp lives with roommates in a house close to campus. She also struggles with rent. “I’ve always been dealing with financial distress, especially with my bursar,” Glimp said. “Sophomore year was definitely more difficult, especially because it was my first time having to pay rent ... Since then, monetarily, this year has been by far the worst and by far the hardest.” Her mother works 40 hours a week at a special needs facility, and her father works 80 hours a week doing self-employed production of mechanical equipment, she said. Both financially contribute to Glimp’s education as best as they can. “I think the hardest thing in a day is feeling guilt,” Glimp said. “I don’t want to worry my family, and I never want my family to feel like they didn’t provide for me. I am eating in the sense that

Baker, also an SGA presidential candidate, faces food insecurity himself and benefits from SNAP to alleviate some of this pressure. “To me, no one at all should ever have to worry about where their next meal comes from,” Baker said. “You’re in a constant financial debate with yourself. This paycheck, what do I do with it? Do I pay my rent, utilities or put gas in the tank? Get my car repaired so I can make it to work or make it to school? Or do I use it for food because I’m hungry?” There are food pantries in Norman, but most are not within walking distance of campus, which makes it difficult for students who do not have a car or cannot afford gas. “People act like there are resources just overflowing from a well, and I haven’t found that yet,” Glimp said. McFarlin United Methodist Church’s food pantry and Mission Norman are the two food pantries closest to campus. McFarlin, located on 419 South University Boulevard, is open every week Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mission Norman, on 2525 East Lindsey Street, is open at certain times every weekday but only allows food pickup once every 30 days. “We’re trying to help people,” said Gene Barnes, the founder of Mission Norman. “We need students to come help us. Our shelves are pretty bare, and I think other pantries are experiencing the same thing. Right now we’re praying —we’re praying for food.” Glimp describes dealing with food insecurity as “a black cloud” that follows her, but said she remains hopeful because of her faith, friends, family and “deep reservoir of self-worth.” “My dignity is not swayed by my circumstance,” Glimp said. “I am still just as capable, just as qualified, just as important as the person next to me who is not going through this.” Kathryn Lynn contributed to this report.

New law protects waste management workers, prevents fatalities Norman drivers must slow down around waste trucks or pay a hefty fine starting Nov. 1 due to a new law designed to protect the fifth most dangerous occupation in the U.S., according to a press release. Bret Scovill, the solid waste manager of Norman, said he believes 36 people in the U.S. waste management industry were killed in vehicle accidents last year. He has been in the waste management industry for 32 years and said he sees the need for this law. “I personally witnessed, over the years, a few fatalities,” Scovill said. The new law requires motorists to slow down or change lanes, if conditions are safe, when a garbage truck is in use. Those in violation could, “upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months or by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars or by both such fine and imprisonment,” according to the Oklahoma law. Scovill said he seeks to raise awareness, not just of the new law and possible citation, but also of the dangers that come with the job. “We’re trying to get the message out to as many people as we possibly can — please be aware — and we always have tried to get that message out, even when we didn’t have a law,” he said. Violators could potentially owe more than they have, but — despite the large citation — the law’s goal is to ultimately protect the working men and women, Scovill said. “It’s something that we needed to do for a long time,” he said.

GEC responds to vandalism LGBTQ students stand together, embrace safe space EMMA KEITH @shakeitha_97

OU Gender + Equality Center faculty and community leaders met Oct. 21 to assure students that the LGBTQ community was not the target of recent vandalism in the LGBTQ lounge on campus. The meeting was set as a response to the destruction of a frame holding the lounge’s pride flag the night before. Kasey Catlett, associate director of LGBTQ and Health Programs, led the discussion, assuring students of the safety of the lounge. Catlett said the Gender + Equality Center, the OU Police Department and staff of the Oklahoma Memorial Union, where the lounge is located, are working together to find and speak with those responsible.

affected the lounge. Students said that last week, they found a blackboard in the lounge inscribed with a verse from the Bible. “This was not a direct targeting of the LGBTQ community,” Catlett said. He and Kathy Fahl, Gender + Equality director, reassured students throughout the meeting that the lounge is a safe space and was not purposefully targeted with this act. “When you first hear of things like this happening, especially to a marginalized group, your first instinct is to go that direction,” Catlett said after the meeting. “And at this moment, we don’t think it’s directly targeted, but the investigation isn’t finished, and there’s still other people we have to talk to as well.” Despite any initial feelings of fear or anger about

the incident, Catlett said the LGBTQ student community has responded well to the vandalism. “Students actually brought in their own flags,” Catlett said. “Students are holding onto this space, and they recognize that this is not a space to be feared or that is challenged by individuals, but they’re owning the space, and that’s the important part of it.” Though student attendees asked questions and expressed doubts throughout the meeting, their tones were optimistic and unified throughout the event. Jay Tyus, a pre-health and exercise science sophomore, said the initial reaction was one of anger. “This was an opportunity for people who were just feeling the confidence to come

into this room to take, like, 10,000 steps back and start from square one and rebuild the confidence to come into this room,” Tyus said. But Tyus said that initial reaction changed to one of unity and strength as the community came together. “It just goes to show you, even if somebody does come in to vandalize, whether it was because it is the LGBTQ community lounge or just to do something to do stuff, the effect it had on the community here at OU was not one of scattering,” Tyus said. “It was one of coming together for solidarity and to say, ‘This is us. We’re not going to change who we are because of your views and you’re not going to silence our voice.’” Emma Keith

OU women promote inclusivity, sisterhood

Students create new multicultural sorority, establish presence on campus MITCHELL WILLETTS @MitchBWilletts

A group of OU students is working to bring a new Multicultural Greek Council sorority to campus/d aimed at promoting inclusivity and sisterhood for women of all cultures and backgrounds. Twenty-three women are working to found Sigma Lambda Alpha on campus, hoping to have it established by fall 2017. In the meantime, they are recognized by the national chapter as an interest group called Rising Organization of SeĂąoritas Aspiring Sisterhood. They are also working with the national chapter to establish a local chapter, ROSAS member Martha Hernandez said. Although the sorority has traditionally focused o n L a t i n a s, t h e R O S A S members of OU plan on changing that. There are already students of Filipino, Native American, Pakistani, black, and white descent interested in joining, Hernandez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided we wanted to bring another multicultural soror ity here to school because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not many of them here,â&#x20AC;? Hernandez said. Sara Mata, the National S c i e n c e F o u n d a t i o n â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Research Trainee Program coordinator at OU, serves as the adviser to ROSAS. She said she feels the enthusiasm and dedication within this group is unlike anything she has seen in other sororities she has advised. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I f y o u j u s t s aw h o w many girls were in this room and the passion they have to want to do this and the sheer numbers,â&#x20AC;? Mata said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty

phenomenal, in my past experience working as an adviser, working with students, to see them be able to get it off the ground and start running as much as they have.â&#x20AC;? Although it was her idea to bring the sorority to OU, pre-med biology sophomore Gisel Gutierrez said she has no interest in being sorority president or treasurer ; she wants only to have a place to feel like she belongs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to join a sorority because of the values. I wanted to join a sorority because it was more than just being with people that look like you.â&#x20AC;? JADA SCOTT, PSYCHOLOGY AND PRE-MED FRESHMAN

Gutierrez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just liked each other and automatically clicked. Like honestly, I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve (know n) these girls for forever.â&#x20AC;? Gutierrez said she always knew she wanted to be part of a multicultural sorority, but after rushing OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma, she decided to create another option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to their events and stuff. I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in. I was awkward, in the center, while everyone was off talking to each other,â&#x20AC;? Gutierrez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them that one day, and they said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; W hy d o n â&#x20AC;&#x2122; t you ju st d o what we did and bring your own sorority to campus?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? A few weeks passed before Gutierrez met with Hernandez, and the pair later turned a vague idea into weekly Monday night meetings with regularly attending members.

Activities include organ i z i ng c o m mu n i t y s e rvice outreach, planning events and collaboration with greek organizations; fortunately, they have a strong membership base, Hernandez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really growing, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy that a lot of the other girls are not just Latinas, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more ethnicities,â&#x20AC;?

Defense shredded in shootout Sooners were helpless to stop Red Raiders in win JESSE POUND @jesserpound

Mayfield dominates before hostile crowd Quarterback breaks Sooners’ record in return to old school

SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

LUBBOCK, Texas — When the dust finally settled on the Sooners’ 66-59 win over Texas Tech, Baker Mayfield took a breath and smiled. “That feels good,” Mayfield said, nearly three years since he last played at Jones AT&T Stadium. Mayfield’s return to Texas Tech was the story of the week, but that went with the famous West Texas wind as Lubbock was home to one of the gaudiest offensive exhibitions in college football history on Saturday. The No. 16 Sooners and the Red Raiders combined for 1,708 yards — 854 each — breaking an NCAA record (1,640) set in 2001 by Nevada and San Jose State. M a y f i e l d a n d Te x a s Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes went blow-forblow the entire second half. The Red Raiders failed to score only on their opening drive and the Sooners on their final one as they kneeled out the clock. For a barren West Texas land that has assuredly seen its fair share of shootouts in its history, this may have been the greatest of them all.

The Sooners’ win wasn’t without theatrics for Mayfield, who threw for 545 yards and a school-record seven touchdowns. It was his first game in Lubbock since leading the Red Raiders in a loss to Kansas State on Nov. 9, 2013. The Texas Tech faithful sent several unruly chants toward Mayfield, most notably in the fourth quarter as the Sooners marched toward a potential game-winning drive. “F*** you, Baker,” said a crowd that once cheered Mayfield to 12 touchdowns and a 64 percent completion percentage. Several members of the crowd donned “Traitor” shirts while others peppered Mayfield with half-empty drinks after the game. Mayfield wasn’t perfect either, picking up a taunting penalty in the fourth quarter. “It was exactly how I thought it was going to be, and I enjoyed it,” Mayfield said with an ear-to-ear grin after the win. “It’s fun. It makes it enjoyable. They come out and compete. They bring their A-game. College football is fun for that reason. The fans bring their stuff and let you know that they don’t like you. “That’s how it is every away game, they just do it a little better than a lot of people.” Mayfield didn’t make a mistake against his old club. He completed 27-of-36 passes, relying on star receiver Dede Westbrook to the tune of 202 yards.

Mayfield couldn’t afford a misstep — as good as he was, Mahomes was better. The Texas Tech signal caller tied an NCAA record for passing yards in a game with 734 and broke the total offense record with 819 yards. He tossed in seven total touchdowns. “I told s ome of the guys, ‘if you’re scared, if you don’t want to score every drive, stay in here,’” Mayfield said. “We did just that. We came out on fire.” OU escaped with a win in Lubbock — the only thing the Sooners came for. But Mayfield had a little fun at his old stomping grounds, too. “Obviously there’s a lot of history here with the fact that I came to school here, but the college football part, the people yelling the chants, that’s what makes it fun,” Mayfield said.

L U B B O C K , Te x a s — Facing third-and-long, Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes side-stepped one Oklahoma pass-rusher, danced away from another and slung a pass down the field, finding a Red Raider receiver that had separated from an exhausted Sooner secondary for a first down. Then he did it again. And again. And a few more times, for good measure. No. 16 Oklahoma (5-2, 4-0 Big 12) may have defeated Texas Tech 66-59, but Mahomes broke the Sooner defense, leaving it shattered and embarrassed on the rock-hard turf at Jones AT&T Stadium. “We had no control,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, visibly exhausted and glum, said after the game. “No kind of good from any aspect of what we were doing. Pressures weren’t good enough. Coverage wasn’t good enough.” Mahomes finished 52-88 for 734 yards and five touchdowns. Texas Tech (3-4, 1-3 Big 12) was 20-25 on third down, with seemingly no distance too great for the Red Raiders to convert. “Those are your money downs to get off the field,” head coach Bob Stoops said. “And we couldn’t get it done.” This was as much a credit to Mahomes’ legs as his arm, as he consistently slipped through and around defenders to buy time. His 819 yards of total offense set the NCAA FBS record for a single game by a comfortable margin.

CHRISTOPHER MICHIE/THE DAILY

Junior defensive back Will Johnson tackles a Texas Tech ball carrier during the game Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas. The Sooners defeated the Red Raiders 66-59.

“It’s so frustrating how many times it looks like we’re ready to get a sack and can’t finish it,” Bob Stoops said. The struggles were reminiscent of problems the Sooners have seen all year, beginning with the third down struggles in the season-opening loss to Houston. But the combination of Mahomes, a torrid pace of play, injuries and inconsistencies led to a record-setting day for the Red Raiders — and a nightmare for Oklahoma. “Injuries, being thin, none of that matters,” Bob Stoops said. “Like I said, we were — several times — in a position to get sacks. We’ve got to be able to get them. Other times, we’re in position to break up some balls … we’ve got to be able to break it up.” The Sooners seemed to be turning a corner recently, with a decent performance against Texas two weeks ago and the best performance of the season last week against Kansas State. The Texas Tech offense, however, was humming like a

chainsaw on full-throttle, and it tore Oklahoma apart. “We knew it was going to be a different challenge, but I don’t think we saw this,” Mike Stoops said. For as poorly as the defense played, the Oklahoma offense was unstoppable. Baker Mayfield threw for seven touchdowns and running back Joe Mixon picked up 377 total yards as the Sooners scorched the Red Raiders. Thanks to the offense, the two first half turnovers forced by the Sooners created just enough of a cushion for the win. But for the defensive side, victory rang hollow. “Our offense did an incredible job helping us. It hurts when you don’t hold up your end of the deal in any game,” Mike Stoops said. “We’ve got to look at a lot of things. Like I said, it’s unacceptable on so many levels. I can’t even begin to try to define it to you all.” Jesse Pound

Art students recognize diversity

New council hopes to illuminate issues of minorities in art ALLISON WEINTRAUB @AllieFrances12

A group of fine arts students has formed a diversity council that will focus on amplifying the voices and concerns of minority students. The council was recognized as a student group on Oct. 18. Feleacia Quezergue, ballet performance senior and president of the College of Fine Arts Diversity Council, said the council includes a board of students who gather to lead discussions about equality, talk about their personal experiences and plan larger fundraising events. The proceeds from the council’s fundraisers will support groups like Black Lives Matter and local charities whose focuses are supporting diverse communities. The council is also looking to reach out to the Harding Fine Arts Academy in Oklahoma City to show OU fine arts programs are

committed to diversity. The council is a continuation of the previously formed Task Force On Diversity. One of the key purposes of the council is inclusivity, Quezergue said. The council wants to show minority students they can be represented in the arts, maintain the diversity of the university and help students connect with one another.

They also want to create a safe environment for students. “For artists that are coming from minority backgrounds, it’s always a struggle to see yourself in the arts when it’s very recently that people are actually breaking into doing more diverse pieces,” Quezergue said. When the group’s Facebook page launched on Oct. 2, it immediately received 53 likes.

The quick reaction to the page shows how much the group is needed, Quezergue said. Eight students were present for the first diversity council meeting, and 25 were present for the second. The council is expecting the meetings to grow, Quezergue said. Alexis Ward, acting senior and the council’s historian, said the council has been helpful in overcoming the

barriers that minority actors face. Diversity shouldn’t just come from token plays or roles that tell the stories of minorities; diversity is a result of having a shifted perspective during the casting process, Ward said. “Those (plays) are great, and those are perfect, but that shouldn’t be the reason why we get cast and that we are used for something. We should be able to be cast and seen as equals to our counterparts,” Ward said. Another goal of the group is to bring concerns to fine arts professors so the professors understand where the students are coming from, Ward said. Ward brought up a few concerns she had with her professors during her end-of-theyear evaluation, she said. “I think (the professors) care about us, I think they love us, but I think they see through a certain lens of the world because they are maybe a straight, white person. They don’t live the same life as a person of color or a

person of the LGBTQ community,” Ward said. The fine arts professors were receptive to Ward’s concerns, she said. The diversity council’s sponsor is the dean of the College of Fine Arts, Mary Margaret Holt. Quezergue and Ward agreed that having Holt as the council’s sponsor was a benefit to the group. “We are prepared to work toward involving students from across the college and collaborating for diversity and inclusion as we collaborate on artistic projects and productions almost daily,” Holt said in an email. “We are fortunate to be involved with the arts because they speak across cultures, time and generations.” “By no means do I think that any faculty member wants to keep anyone down. I think it’s just the nature of what we’re fighting for. We’re fighting an institution in itself,” Quezergue said. Allison Weintraub

“The whole college experience — I used to watch it when I was growing up, how college life is here in America, and now I get to experience it on my own. First, I didn’t really know what to do, but then I asked one of my best friends and he said he was doing civil engineering and that I might want to look into that. I didn’t really know what it was, but I think I fell in love with it. So far it has been great. I like to nap. I like to bowl. Norman is a really nice college town, not too loud, not too small. It’s decent, especially when you are a student. “I miss Malaysian food. We can get a lot of food in Malaysia, a lot of restaurants are open 24 hours.
