There was a glitch in the OETA stream broadcasting the results, freezing the screen at the time Fallin announced her victory of Democrat challenger Joe Dorman. Student Government Association president Matt Epting found out from an alert on his phone. About 60 students attended the watch party i n C a t e Ma i n , w h i c h was hosted by Student Government Association, Carl Albert Center Civic Engagement fellows, the graduate assistants of Political Science department, Adams Center and Society of Professional Journalists. Students in attendance heard from three

OU professors, including political science professor Allen Hertzke, Society of Professional Journalists adviser Judy Gibbs Robinson and English education professor Lawrence Baines, about the importance of mid-term elections and journalists’ role in covering elections before the election results were in. Hertzke said mid-term elections have the potential to “raise up a new star” in politics, while Robinson talked about how journalism can influence elections and the ethics of reporting elections. Many of the students left after Hertzke spoke; they were promised extra credit for listening to his speech. About 40 students

remained for the results of the election, which netted fewer total voters than the 2010 general election and which included state questions that an OU political science professor said didn’t really concern students. Of those students, none held political signs or wore T-shirts endorsing candidates. The students watched results pour in from two TVs hanging from a wall playing news from CNN for national elections results and OETA for state elections results. Some students had “I voted” stickers stuck to their shirts. With 459,788 votes, 26.5 percent fewer voters voted Fallin into her second term compared to the 2010 election where she was voted into her first term. Unofficial results show that 337,728 voted for Dorman, 21.2 percent less than voted for the losing Democrat in the 2010 election. Ellen Fitzsimmons, mathematics freshman who attended the watch party, said

that though she voted, she doesn’t really agree with any of the candidates. “Most candidates don’t represent what I want,” Fitzsimmons said. Only 8 percent of

Cleveland County’s voting populations are 18 to 24, or college-aged students, according to data from the Oklahoma State Election Board. In a Nov. 4 story, Matt Epting told The Daily, “It’s a vicious cycle: Millennials don’t participate in elections, so lawmakers don’t keep our needs in mind. In turn, millennials feel ignored by legislators and grow cynical.” At the event, Epting said he was happy with the event and the turn out. Victoria Bautista, who was with the Carl Albert Center Civic Engagement fellows, said she too was happy with the event. “What’s more important to me is the conversation, and obviously everyone is just buzzing,” Bautista said.

Graduate students displayed their research on poster boards and shared their findings with professionals, professors and other students Tuesday afternoon. The Graduate Student Community held a poster fair for aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering graduate students from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuessday in Devon Energy Hall room 220. The students participating in the poster fair ranged from first-year graduate students to students almost finished with their Ph.D.s, said Oluwaseyi Ogunsola, a Ph.D. candidate and the graduate student community chair. Participants presented research they had been working on for their degrees, ranging from theoretical modeling research to experiment-based research, Ogunsola said. The fair was meant to give students experience with presenting their work to judges who challenge them with questions they will encounter in their career, said Stewart Ohler, aerospace and mechanical engineering Ph.D. candidate. “Anybody can get up and do a slide show presentation, but when you have someone who actually knows [what] you’re talking about, they’re going to ask you critical questions,” Ohler said. Some presenters shared

research they will later share at other conferences, Ogunsola said. “This is an avenue for them to get feedback and to refine their presentation,” Ogunsola said. Putting together the presentations has helped some students reach conclusions in their work that they may not have otherwise, said Arun Balakrishnan, aerospace and mechanical engineering Ph.D. candidate. “By [compiling] all of my research, I saw results that I never thought of, but I saw them when it was all put together,” Balakrishnan said. “I found some interesting patterns that I had not observed

before, and it helped me.” Additionally, the fair a l l o w e d f o r c o l l a b o ra tion between students, Balakrishnan said. “This helps me to look into other people’s research and get some points which I would have never thought of that can be applied to my research,” Balakrishnan said. The poster fair is one of a series of events that the community hopes to use to bring graduate students together academically and socially, Ogunsola said. “We wanted to improve the graduate student experience,” Ogunsola said. In addition to the poster fair, the group has organized

seminars, online student profiles, picnics and other events, mechanical engineering master’s student Jelena Milisavljevic said. “Our idea is for students to share their knowledge, concern and to gain some knowledge and to resolve their issues,” Milisavljevic said. All presenters received a flash drive for participating in the event, and the top four presentations will be given a larger prize which has not been decided, Ogunsola said.

speakers to OU, spending $20,000 in both the fall and spring semesters for the main speaker and a combined $37,000 on other fall and spring speaking events, according to CAC’s budget. The remaining $3,000 was spent on miscellaneous supplies and publicity, according to the budget. Jesse Pound, News Reporter

SWEATER WEATHER

FALL FUN

Bundle up in fall style staples LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST

ith cool weather already here and colder weather around the corner, it’s no secret winter is quickly approaching in Oklahoma. In order to prepare for those chilly nights ahead, be sure to stock up on these must-haves to stay cozy this season.

Ogeoma Mbaraonye

coats and jackets It’s time to get those coats out and bundle up. Stay stylish and cozy this fall with super soft coats. You can style this up or dress it down for an everyday look. Quick fashion tip: camel-colored coats are in this fall for both guys and gals, while leather jackets give a classic finish to any winter look.

boots Be it rain boots, tall riding boots or cozy Uggs, make sure to get some boots ready for the fall to keep your feet warm. Pair these with a pair of your coziest socks for cute layers and added warmth.

tea Whether you are a green tea lover or a chamomile tea enthusiast, hot teas are a delicious alternative to coffee. Carrying a hot cup of tea with you to class also doubles as a hand warmer.

soups From chicken noodle to tomato, there are many classics that will always be comforting on cool, windy days. You will be keeping yourself warm with a simple lunch that easily complements other flavors like grilled cheese.

ince Halloween is over and fall is coming to a close, there are rotting and unwanted pumpkins galore. Here are a few ways to dispose of your pumpkin in a more creative and greener way than just tossing it in a dumpster. Macy Muirhead • Return it to Mother macy_muirhead@ou.edu Earth by composting it. To do so, remove all the inorganic things such as candles and wax, as well as the seeds. Break up the rind of the pumpkin to speed up the decomposition process, and bury it in a dark garden under “green” materials such as sawdust, paper or dried leaves to keep the critters away. • If you haven’t carved your pumpkin, make a homemade puree. Purees can be used to make all sorts of delicious treats — pies, pancakes and even ice cream. Simply cut up the rind, steam it until tender and puree it in a food processor or hand-held mixer. • Treat your skin with a pumpkin facemask. Pumpkins are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that will make your skin look and feel brand new. Mix about onefourth of a cup of pumpkin puree with one egg and add appropriate ingredients for your skin type, such as honey for dry skin or apple cider for oily skin. • If you made a jack-o-lantern out of your pumpkin, leave it out as a snack for furry friends. Deer, birds and squirrels love to get into the fall spirit, too, and they can’t waltz up to Starbucks to get their pumpkin fix. • Get some aggression out. Grab a bat, a rotting jacko-lantern, a few friends and some pent-up hostility and have a pumpkin-smashing party. Macy Muirhead is a broadcast and electronic media sophomore.

Cold weather tends to dry out our skin. Stock up on your favorite moisturizer to prevent dry, cracked skin and keep your skin looking healthy and soft. Chapstick is another must-have moisturizer for the cold weather as your face is exposed to the elements of winter.

vitamins Vitamins are necessary for every season but especially when your immune system could use the extra help. Vitamin supplements provide your body with the added nutrients to give you a healthy boost to get through flu season. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY TONY RAGLE/THE DAILY

OUR VIEW

Watch parties positively affect political process Our View: We applaud the various OU groups that came together Tuesday to host a collaborative, on-campus election night watch party. We commend several OU groups that came together to host a collaborative election night watch party Tuesday that drew about 50 students. With young voter turnout at nauseating Our View is lows, we applaud the OU student the majority groups that came together to proopinion of mote involvement in the political The Dailyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s process. nine-member The Student Government editorial board Association, Carl Albert Center Civic Engagement Fellows, the Graduate Assistants of Political Science, Adams Center and Society of Professional Journalists all worked in conjunction to host the event in Cate Main Tuesday night. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the last time so many student groups came together to promote political interest among college students. Although student turnout was relatively small, efforts such as the Election Night Watch Party are essential for boosting young voter involvement and the right step toward making politics more interesting for college voters. We believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for students to get involved in Oklahoma politics because even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t from here, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s politics will affect you

during your time at OU. Encouraging young adult participation in elections is critical for Sooners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; millenials account for only about 8 percent of registered voters in Cleveland County. The Election Night Watch Party is a welcomed effort and we encourage OU students to take part in future on-campus election night events. Small, splintered watch parties across campus are not nearly as effective as a unified effort to promote taking part in elections. Kudos to the various organizations that took part in the Election Night Watch Party for recognizing that and coming together to host a bigger, better watch party. The collaboration of the OU groups is also an appropriate metaphor for the bipartisan efforts our politicians will ideally take part in. Drumming up enthusiasm for midterm elections is difficult, especially in Oklahoma where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often assumed Republicans will keep the state red. We believe the Election Night Watch Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offering of free pizza, entertainment and social mingling is exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to pique studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in otherwise dull politicking.

The Sooners found little problem scoring a year ago. OU boasted the second-best numbers in total offense in the Big 12 during conference play. But it won’t be easy replacing graduated starters Aaryn Ellenberg, Nicole Griffin and Morgan Hook. “I think you always have to have three you can count on to get double figures every night,” coach Sherri Coale said. “We look at this squad and think Sharane [Campbell-Olds] and [Kaylon Williams] are going to do that no matter what.” Coale is unsure who her third scorer might be, but OU has a few potential options. If Oklahoma’s preseason intra-squad scrimmage on Thursday was any indication of what’s to come, Texas A&M transfer Peyton Little might provide that extra spark. “I think you’ll see [Little] shine when we’re all on one squad together,” Coale said. “She’s ready to play with Oklahoma against everybody. You could see she’s a gifted scorer, and there’s lot of things she can do. She’s going to help us a lot.”

began in the spring working really hard on fundamentals and toughness. We had a great summer. I’ve learned about our team, and I think they’ve learned a lot about each other.” OU’s offense looked balanced Thursday with an ability to create shots from anywhere on the court. Ball movement seems to be a major theme in the Sooners’ game plan. “We want our offense to have a cadence,” Coale said. “It should have a pop to it. That means that the ball doesn’t stay in any one place for longer than three seconds.” If Oklahoma can bring its “cadence” and aggressiveness on offense to places outside of Lloyd Noble Center, the Sooners may be able to sneak in to the Big 12 title picture.

Oklahoma will be forced to involve younger players in its rotation this season. OU only has two seniors and two juniors on its 15-player roster, which doesn’t leave the team with many options for veteran leadership. Campbell-Olds has 57 career starts and the most playing experience on this 2014-15 squad. However, she’s not

finding her role to be any more difficult. “It’s not as hard as I thought it’d be,” Campbell-Olds said. “I owe that to my teammates. They make it really easy to lead, and all of them are stepping up to a role.” Junior guard Nicole Kornet has also seen a lot of playing time in her career. Her three-point shooting percentage from last year is the best of any returnee, and she’s taken a liking to her upperclassman status. “I enjoy it. All that little stuff you worried about as a freshman is gone,” Kornet said. “Fundamentals become a part of you. You can just play your game.” Maddie Manning, a 6-foot-2-inch sophomore guard, and 6-foot-4-inch freshman center Vionise Pierre-Louis looked like they were just playing “their game” last Thursday.

The team will benefit from a long-tenured coach like Coale, who is entering her 19th season with the program. Coale has taken the Sooners to 15 straight NCAA Tournament appearances and has earned four Big 12 Coach of the Year awards. “She works so hard,” Kornet said. “She’s like a second mom to us. She doesn’t just care about what happens on the court. She really wants us to be better people.” The Sooners open their season on Nov. 14 and begin conference play on Jan. 4. The team will play an exhibition game at 7 p.m. today at Lloyd Noble Center against Southeastern Oklahoma State. Joe Buettner joebuet@ou.edu
