CAMPUS SAFETY
Operation SafeWalk: A campus necessity The University offers a variety of services to keep students and faculty safe all year JOEY STIPEK
Special Projects Reporter
Sean Abbott, health and exercise sophomore, and Anica Taylor, occupational therapy senior, prepare to walk from Cate Center to the College of Law with students needing an escort on a cool October evening. Abbott and Taylor are SafeWalk resident advisers who make students feel safe by escorting them wherever they need to go on campus. After their walk, Taylor and Abbott settle into SafeWalk headquarters with their homework and food bought from the Cate Center cafeteria in preparation for an evening of
meeting and escorting students, faculty and staff who want someone to walk them to a campus destination. SafeWalk is just one of the safety services offered on campus. Bicycle registration, the emergency command system in the residence halls, emergency blue phones and SafeRide are all examples of programs and services aimed directly at keeping the campus safe, OU Housing and Food spokeswoman Amy Buchanan said in an email. SafeWalk is free to use, according to Housing and Food’s website. The coverage area is from Elm Avenue to Jenkins Avenue east-to-west and from Boyd Street to the Lloyd Noble Center north-to-south. SafeWalk also provides service to the north and south Greek houses adjacent to campus. SafeWalk originated in the early 1990s because the
Housing Center Student Association noticed a need on campus for this type of safety service, Buchanan said in an email. As demand increased over the years, Housing and Food switched from using volunteers to having paid SafeWalk positions. The university pays $24,855 per fiscal year to fund and operate SafeWalk, according to records requested by The Daily. $24,480 of the funding is split among 16 RA salaries, averaging $1,530 per employee. The remaining $375 in funding is spent on SafeWalk’s phone costs. SafeWalk applicants must complete a 16-week class and apply and interview for an RA position, Buchanan said in an email. Abbott and Taylor both cited their desire to give back to SEE CAMPUS SAFETY PAGE 2
CHALK ART
Students bring color to South Oval The homecoming tradition of chalking the South Oval continued this year CAITLIN SCHACHTER Campus Reporter
AARON MAGNESS/ THE DAILY
Student organizations invaded the South Oval armed with chalk to compete in the annual Homecoming Sidewalk Chalk Competition Thursday afternoon. All of the chalk designs were related to this year’s theme, “Drawn Together by Tradition,” said CAC member and microbiology sophomore Johnson Truong. Judges will choose winners who best incorporated the theme, among other requirements, Truong said. Several of the designs were representations of animated Disney or Pixar films, like “Hercules,” which was done by Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. “We chose the movie Hercules as our theme because he proves to his father that he is a hero,” said criminology junior Kadie Waddle. “We wanted to bring the sense of being a hero back to the university.” The Hispanic American Student Association and Delta Phi Omega sketched the characters from the animated movie “Madagascar.” “We chose ‘Madagascar’ because all of the animals come from different species,” said microbiology sophomore Lindsay Barron. “We are such a diverse organization, and we embrace each others’ differences like the characters do in the movie.”

VIDEO GAME
Brains and bias: Video game created at OU Virtual world teaches gamers about brain fuction MAX JANERKA
Campus Reporter
You’re pursuing an international terrorist organization around the world, trying to find the group and stop them from doing further harm. With American intelligence agencies on your side, you infiltrate laboratories, workshops, warehouses and mansions in pursuit of the group’s members and leaders and the materials they are smuggling to collect vital data and plan the agency’s next official strike. But you must choose your targets carefully, because faulty reasoning on your part can let the real bad guys slip away. The catch? You’re playing a video game — but it’s more than a video game.
This game, which was created by Norah Dunbar, association communications professor, and a team of researchers and developers, is called MACBETH and it teaches you about the way your brain works and how to be less biased in real life when making decisions. MACBETH’s development started three years ago as a contracted project from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, said Yu-Hao Lee, a postdoctoral researcher at OU’s Center for Applied Social Research. MACBETH is actually the second game of its kind that has been produced at OU, Lee said. The first game dealt with psychological phenomena including bias blind spot, confirmation bias and fundamental attribution error, Lee said.

Even highly trained intelligence analysts have cognitive biases, and this can lead them to making bad judgments that can threaten the safety of the country. So the intelligence community reached out to several universities to help them come up with a training program that can teach about and help mitigate these biases,

Lee said. That’s where MACBETH comes in. The Daily had a chance to play the video game to see how the game works and how it helps train people to ignore their biases. In the game, the player takes the role of an intelligence analyst and acts as mission control to a field
agent who actually does the investigating. Over a number of stages, the player analyzes evidence found in different locations, such as a lab or a mansion, and checks it for three kinds of cognitive bias: anchoring bias, projection bias and representativeness bias. Any unbiased evidence must then be analyzed to

decide whether or not the target being investigated was an actual threat. “One of the most difficult parts in designing the game is designing the mitigation strategies into the game mechanics,” Lee said. Since both games were designed as “spy games,” the designers wanted the ingame decisions to reflect the work done by real analysts, but they wanted the game to still be fun, Lee said. To do this, the team created a backstory to the game and made sure each piece of intel, or secret information, the player could collect was relevant in some way to the threat assessment. “We want the players to feel that learning these biases can help them make better assessments and solve the case,” said Lee.

OU looks to spring upset against ninthranked West Virginia on senior night
JULIA NELSON Sports Editor
RYAN GERBOSI
In 2008, No. 2 Texas Tech came to Norman to take on the No. 5 ranked Sooners. On Saturday, No. 10 Texas Tech will come to Norman to take on the No. 15 Sooners. This sounds familiar. Coach Bob Stoops challenged fans to get loud for that game in 2008, and he’s put out the same challenge for this week. “Yeah it would be awesome if we could re-create that atmosphere and everybody jump in and do their best to try to affect the game, build some excitement and all,” Stoops said. “We’ve got to do our part; it’s a lot easier to be excited when you’re playing well so we’ve got to hopefully give them some things to cheer about and jump in the game.” It will be a close game, there’s no doubt about it, and fan support could push Oklahoma’s struggling run defense and quarterbacks to perform at a higher level. It could also rattle Texas Tech freshman quarterback Davis Webb. He’s been a gun-slinger so far this season — putting up impressive numbers even for a veteran quarterback. However, he operates in a pass-heavy air raid offense that Stoops is familiar with. “I think as much as anything we are very familiar

Sophomore linebacker Frank Shannon tackles a Texas Tech ball carrier in last year’s matchup in Lubbock, Texas on Oct. 6, 2012. The Sooners won comfortably, 41-20, for their first Big 12 win of the season.
with this type of offense because its roots are with Mike Leach, Hal Mumme and all those guys, and we still have elements of it in our offense,” Stoops said. “It’s that same system that Tech has had for a good number of years now. Kliff has his wrinkles to it and all, but again, all those principles you can see, Kliff was taught by Mike Leach. So we recognize it. It’s still difficult to stop though.” Oklahoma’s No. 9 rated pass efficiency defense will be a good match for Texas Tech’s No. 2 passing offense. Tech may be 7-0 at the moment, but some have doubted their high BCS ranking. If
Tech walks away with a victory, it will be a huge win for coach Kingsbury and his entire football program. For Oklahoma to succeed, it will need to find an offensive rhythm early and find a way to get junior quarterback Blake Bell comfortable. It will also need to eliminate third down situations, if possible. Third and long has proved to be a weakness in the past few games for OU as it slows down momentum on both sides of the ball. The defens e can’t b e expected to stop the Red Raiders if it’s constantly on the field. “It’s not just about keeping
them off the field, but keeping us on it,” Co-Offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. “That gives us the ability to score points. If you convert third downs and do a good job in the red zone, that will change how the game is played.” Whatever the case, Saturday is shaping up to be a good game. It could mirror the results of 2008, or it could have a completely different outcome. Oklahoma will face off against Texas Tech at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday in Norman.

OPINION
Though Oklahoma soccer boasts a youthful roster that can develop into a winning team in the coming seasons, Friday’s match will be the last time playing at John Crain Field for three senior Sooners. Bailey Boulware, Kathryn Watson and Zoe Dickson will play the final home game of their OU careers against No. 9 West Virginia. The three seniors have experienced plenty of ups and downs in their four years in Norman. As freshman, they contributed to the last OU team to reach the NCAA tournament. After their sophomore season, a coaching change mixed things up for the program. While OU hasn’t reached that level since, the leadership and winning attitude of the seniors have helped a program in transition, said coach Matt Potter. “They’ve really been the guiding light for everybody that’s followed,” Potter said. “In the time since we’ve been here, they’ve been instrumental in everything we’ve done.” Potter said Dickson, Boulware and Watson all set the standard for what it means to be a true student-athlete. “They’re very good at what they do in terms of soccer but, more importantly, are better people.” Watson and Boulware both are unsure of what to expect on the big night. “I’m just really excited,” Watson said. “I know I’m going to be sad and emotional because this has been such a fun journey for me.” Boulware said the result is what will be important come Friday. “Obviously, it’s going to be exciting, but we want to come out with the win,” Boulware said. A win against the No. 9 Mountaineers will be a tough one to come by.

This is part two in a two-part series.
Graduate students at OU need to know what their rights are over their theses and dissertations, and I’m afraid that the report on Tuesday’s Open Access pizza lunch misrepresents the situation. [The reports said] Karen Rupp-Serrano, director of Collection Development and Scholarly Communication for OU’s libraries, as stating that “[graduate] students must open up their dissertations to the scholarly community for comments and review in order to obtain their degrees.” The context suggests that “open up” here means, “post online.” As recently outlined to both faculty and students by Lee Williams, dean of the Graduate College, the college is developing guidelines that will potentially allow students to embargo their theses or dissertations for up to six years. This action is in response to the concerns of some graduate students that—as the Daily itself headed an article on this issue a week ago (Oct. 16)—“Free publication comes at a cost.” The cost here could be the students’ careers, since publishers might refuse to publish work based on material already available online, and professors in certain fields need publications to keep their jobs. Theses and dissertations are definitely reviewed—not by random online readers but by a committee of professors who are specialists in the student’s field, who have to approve the thesis or dissertation before any degree is awarded. Any graduate student with questions about online publication and embargos should contact the Graduate College.

Race modeled after Spanish tradition Andrew Clark
Life & Arts Reporter
Runners will soon have the opportunity to feel like they are in Spain, participating in La Tomatina. Tomato Dodge is coming to Oklahoma City at 9 a.m. Saturday. The event consists of a 5K run where runners dodge tomatoes and, at the end of the race, throw tomatoes at each other, much like the annual tomato fight in Buñol, Spain, La Tomatina. Da n ny C o p i nga, ra c e d i r e c t o r f o r To m a t o Dodge, said the fun will be never-ending. “The race starts at Wake Zone Cable Park and just goes through a bunch of trails and around a lake by there,” Copinga said. “While running the fun run, there are four of what we call ‘Dodge Zones,’ where there are people throwing tomatoes at you from everywhere.”

Have a creepy story for the Halloween season?
Tomatoes fly through the air toward a Tomato Dodge participant.
The fun doesn’t just occur during the race, Copinga said. The real battle begins once you actually cross the finish line. “Once you finish, there’s what is called the ‘Battle Zone’ where there are just t o n s o f t o mat o e s l y i n g around, and the participants all have a free-for-all and throw tomatoes at each other,” Copinga said.
Copinga said the number of tomatoes varies but usually ranges from about 25,000 to 50,000 tomatoes. Tomato Dodge’s tomatoes are soaked in water and smashed up as much as possible, in order to prevent injury from the flying fruits. Participants can also wear goggles so the flying tomato guts don’t penetrate and hurt their eyes.

“We try our best to contain injuries so that our participants’ experience is a great as it can be,” said Copinga. It is $40 after October 25 to register for the race. Participants also get a free t-shirt for the run. Andrew Clark andrew.n.clark-1@ou.edu
