OU officials are responding to a survey of students conducted last semester by initiating more use of technology inside and outside the classroom this fall.

OU Digital Campus, supported by OU Information Technology and the Center for Teaching Excellence, includes several objectives that focus on the adoption of a learning management system, e-textbooks and videos within class layouts, said Becky Grant, communications manager for OU Information Technology.

Part of the initiative is to improve students’ experience with OU’s current learning management system, Desire2Learn.

Sixty-three percent of students who were surveyed earlier this year noted that they are more involved in courses that use a technological component, such as

Grant said 97 percent of the students surveyed said they used D2L, so the purpose of this initiative is to increase students’ use of technology so they can exceed in class.

The Digital Campus campaign will begin with a pilot

OU’s “After Trayvon” panel discussion event held in August has won the Diversity Program of the Month award from the National Association of Colleges and University Residence Halls.

Labor: Speakers to discuss unfair conditions Continued from page 1 for Sooners Against Sweatshops. The “living wage” that workers make at the factory is enough to allow them to save money while paying for things like education for their children.

“There’s more than just taking a shirt off the racks,” Shauberger said.

Some Alta Gracia apparel is sold in the OU bookstore on Asp Avenue, but Shauberger said she hopes this event will encourage students to ask for and buy more products made in factories that support labor rights.

“People like OU T-shirts because there’s an OU logo on them,” Shauberger said. “Alta Gracia can make these shirts for the same price, so pick up an Alta Gracia one instead of a Nike one.”

Shauberger said students often hear horror stories about sweatshops, but they’re not given any solutions they can actually help carry out.

“This is an event where students can find out what they can do and how to get connected,” Shauberger said.

Luke Bartz, co-president of Sooners Against Sweatshops and Russian sophomore, said hearing people talk from firsthand experience is the best way to learn about an issue.

“You can read stories in textbooks or hear them from a friend of a friend, but really the best to way to learn something is to either live through it yourself or talk to someone who has lived through it,” Bartz said.

Although factory workers in the garment industry may be far removed from the average OU student, the work they do can be seen all over campus, Bartz said.

“I mean anyone who walks out on game day will see a few 1,000 OU shirts,” Bartz said. “So it’s something that’s actually connected to students, the faculty and fans of OU.” This is a unique opportunity to talk

with individuals who make OU clothing firsthand and can discuss the difficulties they’ve faced in the garment industry, he said.

“The amount of work and effort that goes into the whole process — it’s not something you even realize or think about if you’re not directly engaged with these individuals,” he said.

Kennedy met Maritza and Yenny when she and some other members of Sooners Against Sweatshops visited the Alta Gracia factory this summer.

Kennedy said she’d heard about sweatshop conditions in the garment industry her whole life, but actually getting to hear workers tell their stories made the issue real.

“As members of a larger body of the university, we’re able to impact companies that control these factories and control what these people’s lives are like all over the world.”

Leah Kennedy co-president of the group and music composition and vocal performance sophomore

The Alta Gracia building used to house a company that had sweatshop conditions, so a lot of the workers she talked to in the Dominican Republic had experienced those conditions, Kennedy said.

“They had to work for their rights and organize and find out how to assert their rights and demand that they be treated fairly and paid a living wage,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy said one thing she learned while she was in the Dominican Republic is that students have power over the companies suppor ting sweatshops.

“As members of a larger body of the

university, we’re able to impact companies that control these factories and control what these people’s lives are like all over the world,” she said.

Members of the national United Students Against Sweatshops brought Maritza and Yenny to the U.S. to speak to college students, Kennedy said. The members will discuss Friday how their organization has affected some large companies by making a change at their universities.

Large corporations that don’t support fair wages may seem overwhelming to students, Kennedy said. But students have the power to change those companies if they can convince their universities to stop buying their products.

“The more of us who stand up for workers’ rights and demand that the university label only be put on things that are made with conditions that allow workers to unionize and fight for their rights... if we demand that then you know they can’t turn us down,” Kennedy said.

Sooners Against Sweatshops is a new OU student organization this fall, but members have already begun meeting with President David Boren about buying more products made in factories that support labor rights, Kennedy said.

“This is our first semester here, so we’re really hoping more students get on board,” Kennedy said. “We’re really hoping we can be a long-term group that can lead OU to be a university that truly does support fair labor practices.”

Kennedy said university spokesman Michael Nash told her that Boren is going to meet with the Trademark Initiative Committee next week to discuss their possible affiliation with the Workers Rights Consortium, which is what Sooners Against Sweatshops is recommending OU get involved with.

“We definitely have a constant line of communication — we were really pleased to get a first meeting with President Boren,” Kennedy said.

quickly degenerating into battles of position expressed in extremes. The discussion at the event focused on questions of how the tragedy happened [instead].”

Lena Tenney, masters of education and public administration graduate student, nominated “After Trayvon” for the award after witnessing the emotional impact the event had on everyone in attendance.

“Social justice is important, but it can be a challenging topic to discuss,” Tenney said. “‘After Trayvon’ was done so well. It challenged or altered the perspectives of all who attended. It was one of the best events I’ve gone to on campus.”

Tenney was involved with the National Association of Colleges and University Residence Halls during her time as an undergraduate, so once she saw the award listed on the website, she filled out the nomination, she said.

“After Trayvon” first won the regional Diversity Program of the Month award, a category that includes colleges from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico. Last Friday, Tenney found out that After Trayvon won Diversity Program of the Month” for August at the national level as well. “[The award] is a great honor, and I think that it reflects OU’s outstanding students, staff and faculty,” Davidson said.

EDITORIAL

First Amendment shouldn’t protect the Klan Our View: Prohibiting

KKK rallies will take America one step closer to achieving an indiscriminate society.

A Maryland-based Ku Klux Klan group planned to rally at Gettysburg National Military Park on October 5. It’s mind-boggling that KKK groups still have the audacity and will to exist in today’s society, but what’s more surprising is the fact that they were granted a special permit to hold an event there.

The permit was approved because the KKK group has a right to exercise its First Amendment rights. While the disastrous government shutdown is negatively affecting Americans across the U.S., one good thing it has done is halt the rally from taking place. But it shouldn’t take a government shutdown to hinder KKK groups from publicly congregating and rallying — the event itself should be banned, no matter what amendment protects it.

We no longer live in the 19th and 20th centuries — our nation has significantly progressed from

beatings, shootings and much more, often times killing innocent African Americans. The current KKK groups are stained with this reputation, and any event or rally that encourages injecting racism back into our society should be prevented from happening.

This group does not deserve the right to rally.

Barack Obama as our president, but the majority of Americans voted him into office. Apply that same concept to whether KKK groups are allowed to rally. We have a hunch that today, the majority of Americans would not approve of public rallies supporting racism.

Just like we voted to elect a new president, we need to have a national vote on whether or not rallies encouraging public discrimination should be allowed, regardless of what the First Amendment protects. If the majority of people are uncomfortable and disapprove of public KKK rallies taking place, they should not be allowed.

The “freedom of speech” line is so abused sometimes, and it’s a poor excuse to allow this type of public behavior.

The rallies are unnecessary and do no good for the community. If anything, it’s only ignominious and poorly represents our country.

Meatless days can reduce animal cruelty

Climate change still a pressing issue

P

resident Bill Clinton, GUEST COLUMNIST once known for his love of fast-food, has been making headlines for his recent dietary change.

He’s swapped the Big Macs, chicken nuggets and fried shrimp for veggie burgers, beans and fresh fruits and Kenny Torrella vegetables. ktorella@humanesociety.org After years of battling heart problems — even undergoing quadruple bypass surgery — Clinton took his doctor’s advice to reduce his meat consumption and increase his intake of plant-based foods. He reports that the results have been tremendous: losing 24 pounds, feeling more energetic and seeing a welcome drop in cholesterol levels.

Clinton isn’t the only one turning over a new leaf. From Usher to Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres to Kristen Bell, people everywhere are eating less meat. Even Mike Tyson, once known for biting off a human ear, is now limiting his ear consumption to those of the corn variety.

The movement toward more plant-based meals is also taking root on college campuses, with more than 200 universities leading the charge with “Meatless Monday” campaigns in their dining halls.

Nationally acclaimed food writers such as The New York Times’ Mark Bittman and The Washington Post’s Joe Yonan are helping the nation discover meat-free dishes that will leave you impatient for the next meal. Eating your vegetables? If you don’t know the possibilities that phrase encompasses in 2013, you are missing out.

There has never been a more exciting time to expand our dining horizons. Skipping meat one day a week is not a sacrifice but an adventure. And this is reflected in the choices students are making. According to a study conducted by Technomic, over 20 percent of college students are reducing their meat consumption, and for good reasons.

One of those reasons is concern for the nine billion chickens, pigs and other animals raised for food each year, most of whom suffer in factory farms.

OPINION COLUMNIST

This is great — a point that seems redundant to the last 25 years of goal-making and completely obvious, but great nonetheless.

“Climate change is a long-term challenge but one that requires urgent action, not tomorrow but today and right now, given the pace and the scale by which greenhouse gases are accumulating in the atmosphere and the rising risks of a more than 2-degree Celsius temperature rise,” said Executive Director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP) Achim Steiner.

The question is, what will become more long-term — the detriments of climate change, or the lack of progress to fix it?

Individuals and small groups around the world are the ones creating the most significant solutions to climate change. The only thing holding these groups back are the clueless redundancies we call political leaders and the control they carry as the voice of the people.

If you — as an individual, family member, American citizen or human — care about solving climate change, stop listening and start acting.

If you want to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions, localize your lifestyle needs of food, water and energy. Grow your own food, choose renewable energy sources from providers and optimize water use.

If you want to eliminate rising fuel costs, create your own biofuel and drive a diesel or hybrid engine vehicle.

If you think human waste should be cut down across the planet, then stop putting things in the trashcan!

We can listen to the repetitive revelations of our politicians for another 50 years, or we can change our lifestyles.

Does this mean cut my lifestyle back or lower its quality and convenience?

Absolutely not. Because guess what — if you eliminate your fuel, food, water and energy costs, then you eliminate 80 percent of life’s cost. That means 80 percent of your money can be used to enjoy your life rather than maintaining it.

So don’t be scared of doing what is best for the planet.

Stop listening to what you already know and do what is clearly best for you.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its 2013 report.

It has been nearly six years since the IPCC released its previous version Andrew Sartain of the report that human andrew.sartain@ou.edu greenhouse gas emissions were “very likely” responsible for the rise in global temperature that has escalated since the 1950’s.

In the 2013 report, the IPCC double downed on this claim stating it was “extremely likely” that humans have been the dominant cause of unprecedented global warming since 1950. The report calls global warming in the 21st century “unequivocal” and states a 95 percent confirmation that most of the warming since 1950 is due to human activity. They heed the warning that we must correct our ways and make changes in order to avoid the disastrous effects looming as a result of human inaction.

Does this sound all too familiar?

It is a relief that the bulk of mainstream society has accepted that humanity is responsible for the peril being faced globally, but those who have not accepted it are fighting the inevitable realization of its accuracy, as well as their own denial.

The major problem doesn’t sit in the public perception of climate change. It is the political and bureaucratic blindness continuing to lead the public through circles of contemplative information, holding back the true progress of environmental consciousness.

After more than 200 scientific authors noted the issue and hundreds more scholarly reviews were published in the last six years, we’ve only managed to change the wording from “very likely” to “extremely likely.” Talk about progress.

The governments under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) have agreed to limit the global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius Andrew Sartain is an interdisciplinary perspectives on the to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Oklahoma won’t overlook TCU matchup Team isn’t looking ahead to next week Joe Mussatto

Assistant Sports Editor

Prior to the season, this weekend’s matchup pitting Oklahoma against TCU was expected to be a nationallyanticipated game with largescale implications, but how quickly things can change in college football.

While the contest still holds impact in the race for the wide-open Big 12, beating the Horned Frogs is now expected of the Sooners, as they look to continue their undefeated quest at 6 p.m. on Saturday in Norman.

The 11th-ranked Sooners (4-0) will face a TCU team (2-2) that has swallowed a heavy dose of adversity throughout the first month of the season. Obstacles that coach Gary Patterson’s team may not have foreseen.

Injuries, suspensions and a strong early schedule have displaced the squad from the top-25 rankings, a place familiar to the Horned Frogs in recent years.

In their second season as a Big 12 member, TCU was

picked preseason by the media to finish third in the conference. The team also received nine first place votes — one more than OU. But since then, little has gone right for the Fort Worth, Texas squad.

Former starting quarterback senior Casey Pachall has been sidelined with a broken arm. Furthermore, reigning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, defensive end Devonte Fields, has

faced a suspension and a foot injury, and his status is unknown for Saturday.

On top of that, TCU has faced two current top-20 teams, and lost to each — No. 10, LSU and No. 20, Texas Tech.

But falling into a trap versus a capable conference foe isn’t on OU’s agenda.

Sandwiched between an emotional victory over Notre Dame and next week’s Red River Rivalry, the Sooners

aren’t sleeping on TCU. “They played a tough early schedule, but again we’re very aware of them and what a good football team they are,” coach Bob Stoops said.

And after last season’s tight 24-17 affair in Fort Worth, OU can’t afford to be comfortable on Saturday.

“Everything is all on TCU, period,” the coach continued. “Again, around here, we’re expected to beat everybody. So you only beat

everybody by being ready for everybody.”

OU’s preparation starts with how to attack one of the top defenses in the conference. Patterson’s squad leads the Big 12 in forced turnovers (12) and sacks (15). Those marks put the Horned Frogs in top-ten nationally in both categories.

This defensive dominance has been Patterson’s trademark during his 13-year tenure as head coach. Under

him, TCU has fielded the nation’s top defense five different seasons — more than any other program.

“They’re really good, one of the best coached defensive teams in the country, year in and year out,” junior quarterback Blake Bell said.

And as for how he and the rest of the OU offense plans on attacking the Horned Frogs: “We’re going to have to be really accurate with the ball and we’re going to have to be specific in our routes to really have success,” Bell said.

“Running the ball, again, will be very important.”

TCU has struggled through the first quarter of the season, but this year’s Sooner senior leaders are adamant to not allow a let-down on Saturday.

Senior linebacker Corey Nelson made this point clear.

“The focus this week has to be 10 times better than it was last week,” Nelson said. “We have to be even more focused than we were against Notre Dame because we cannot let TCU come in here and beat us. That’s when teams get beat – when you take teams lightly.”

OU hopes to bounce back after Texas loss

Bedlam offers a second chance

After its first Big 12 loss, the volleyball team needs a win against Iowa State Demetrius Kearney Volleyball Beat Reporter

The Oklahoma volleyball team is looking to rebound from a tough loss against the Texas Longhorns last weekend. The Sooners bit off more than they could chew, losing in straight sets, while dropping their first conference game of the season.

However, the season is still young and the Sooners have time to redeem themselves. The first step to getting back on track will take place at home against the Iowa State Cyclones at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The Cyclones have gotten off to a fast start winning their first two conference games, even though they have an overall record of 8-4 on the season. The Sooners, who are currently 1-1 in conference play, will look to give the Cyclones their first conference loss.

The Sooners will need to bring back the same intensity that edged out victories over Tulsa and Texas Tech to get a win over the Cyclones. That would mean getting maximum production out of the Sooners key contributors.

In the loss to the Longhorns, the Sooners were simply outplayed on the court, getting back to playing solid team volleyball will be key moving forward. Senior middle blocker and team captain Sallie McLaurin was held to just eight kills and four blocks in the loss.

Getting McLaurin going early will be key against Iowa State. Senior outside hitter Keila Rodriguez, who had another all around performance against the Longhorns, has emerged as one the key players for the Sooners this season.

Rodriguez has really elevated her play this season and she has been an important piece on a relatively young team.

The Sooners, however, have seen positive contributions from several young players on the team. Freshman middle blocker Micaela Spann had a breakout game against Texas Tech and recorded four blocks in the loss to the Longhorns.

The freshman looks poised to become more of a role player for the Sooners as the season progresses.

Sophomore middle blocker Kierra Holst and sophomore defensive specialist Taylor Migliazzo have been playing excellent volleyball for the Sooners in the past couple of games. Holst had nine kills against the Longhorns and as been an excellent compliment to McLaurin in the front court.

Migliazzo has been a reliable contributor in the back court, and the Sooners will be depending on her consistency when they face the Cyclones.

The Sooners know that every conference match counts, and winning this match against the Cyclones will be key towards winning the conference race.

A win could help Big 12 aspirations Ryan Gerbosi

The Sooners could really use a second chance.

Almost two-thirds of the way through the s c h e d u l e, O U s i t s a t 3-7-1, trying to climb out of the Big 12 cellar.

Although they can’t replay ever y game, the Sooners get another shot at rival Oklahoma State.

The Cowgirls will be in town Friday for OU’s Big 12 home opener and the second Bedlam soccer match of the season. OU lost the opener on Aug. 30 in Stillwater.

“It brings out a different emotion in people,” coach Matt Potter said of the Bedlam rivalry.

With a home crowd on their side and the intensity of Bedlam surrounding them, the Sooners have the opportunity to turn their season around with one win. Beating OSU, however, has not been easy for OU historically.

The Cowgirls lead the all-time series 18-3-3 after winning the nonconference matchup in August. In that game, OU led early after a free kick from Abby Hodgen found the net. The lead held for less than eight minutes before OSU tied it.

Less than seven minutes

Sophomore midfielder Elise Romano runs down the field on Sept. 1.

OU plays another home game against OSU tonight at John Crane Field.

after the score was leveled, Oklahoma State was on top 3-1, eventually winning 4-1.

Potter said the first rivalry experience will help make this one easier.

“The group has shown that once it’s been in an environment it has dealt really well with a similar environment when it comes along,” Potter said. “Having played in one Bedlam game, I’m looking for the positives to come out from their learning.”

In the first Bedlam match, OSU fans packed over 1,800

fans into the Cowgirl Soccer Complex to create a raucous atmosphere for OU to operate. Seeing Oklahoma State already this season will help OU, but Emily Bowman said being at home will be the bigger boost.

“Playing at home, we’re going to get to be the aggressor, we’re going to go at

them,” Bowman said.

The junior midfielder is using the early loss as motivation to give the home fans a win.

“We’re going to have what happened last time in the back of our minds and we’re not going to let that happen again.”

T h e C ow g i r l s ( 4 - 3 - 4 ) enter the game struggling and have only two wins in eight games since beating the Sooners. Last season, OU was able to upset thenNo. 3 OSU in front of a record crowd at John Crain Field.

Still, Potter calls OSU a “very competitive team” and says OU has more work to do. He hopes the crowd will give the Sooners the edge they need.

“The [Bedlam] crowd has been incredible in my time here,” Potter said. “We’re looking for a great crowd to spur on our players because they’re playing well despite the results and I think the fans will enjoy watching them.”

O

ne romantic comedy that any guy could bear watch is “Enough Said.� Writer and director Nicole Holofcener (“Please Give�) gives us a taste of a sensible comedy without all the yucky emotions involved in Nicholas Sparks adaptations.

Holofcener has a solid cast full of talent, including Julia LouisDreyfus (“Seinfeld�), James Gandolfini (“The Sopranos�), Catherine Keener (“Forty-Year-Old Virgin�), and Toni Collette (“Little Miss Sunshine�).

The film wouldn’t work with any other cast because you can tell these guys genuinely loved working together.

The film begins with Eva (Louis-Dreyfus) as she goes about her rigorous routine of being a full time work-onthe-go massage therapist.

Her days consist of rubbing hairy chests and listening to housewives whine about their day. As if you didn’t need to sympathize her any more, she has a daughter, who is heading off to college soon.

Breaking away from the monotony of her daily life, one night she goes to a party with her best friend Sarah (Collette), and at the beginning it seems like one of those boring parties.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tavi Gevinson play Eva and Chloe, respectively, in “Enough Said.�

However, she eventually meets a poet (Keener) and Albert, a man who is introduced to her.

Initially, Albert and Eva don’t connect, but after a couple of dates they are head over heels in love.

Meanwhile, Marianne — the poet — has started seeing Eva as her masseuse and they seem to be good friends, but Marianne doesn’t stop whining about her sloppy, overweight ex-husband.

After a few visits to Marianne’s, Eva connects some dots and discovers something that leaves her with a huge dilemma.

Some people say this film could have been a rebirth for Gandolfini, who was pinned as a hard-headed mobster, but we will never

know.

Sadly, this film marks the end to Gandolfini’s career.

The actor died shortly after the filming ended, marking the end of a brilliant body of work. His performance in this film was unlike any other; for the first time in a long time you get insight into a man’s feelings during a film without it coming across as cheesy or part of the comedic relief.

This movie has its awkward moments, but it’s all in good fun.
