ACADEMICS
OU plans biotechnology program Concentration in the field will be offered first, with full degree intended for future JUSTINE ALEXANDER News Reporter @caffeinejustine
Students who are interested in biotechnology may be able to choose it as a major as soon as next semester. Plant biology and microbiology majors can earn a concentration in biotechnology, said Amy Callaghan, chair of the biotechnology curriculum committee. For others it may soon be a major, she said. “Biotechnology plays a really important role in society, including bioremediation, drug discovery, medicine, and development of biofuels,” Callaghan said. “As far as we’ve been able to tell, there are no
biotechnology bachelor degrees available in the state … This is bizarre,” Laura Bartley, OU assistant professor and biotechnology curriculum committee member said. A lot of life science is becoming more molecularly oriented, she said. Gordon Uno, chairperson of the department of microbiology and plant biology, brought the idea for a biotechnology program to the faculty and formed a committee about two years ago, Callaghan said . “Our department felt we were poised to essentially spearhead the effort,” Callaghan said. The department started by gathering information based on biotechnology majors and concentrations at other universities including Cornell, University of California, Davis and Rutgers, Bartley said. Bartley asked friends working in different biotechnology industries what they want to see in recent graduates applying for jobs, she said. Students may be interested in the concentration because
there are a variety of jobs in biotechnology, Callaghan said. “Both graduate schools and industry want somebody who doesn’t need a lot of training to get going fairly early,” Bartley said. The bioPHOTO PROVIDED technology concentration Amy Callaghan, biotechnology could allow students to concurriculum committee chair tribute more quickly to a biotechnology lab or a dissertation in a research-focused program, Bartley said. The concentration will also provide students who want to go to medical or pharmacy school a foundation for what they’re going to see in their careers, Callaghan said. SEE BIOTECH PAGE 2

F
or a little over two weeks, Brian Britt has been back as the director of The Pride of Oklahoma. However, that has been more than enough time for band practice to completely change, said Kristen Baird, secondary science education sophomore and member of The Pride. “Everyone has a better attitude,” Baird said. “Now that they feel like the band is going somewhere, they’re invested [in practicing].” The director of The Pride from 2001 to 2012, Britt was also the assistant director of the School of Music and taught classes. He left OU in part for his family, Britt said. “There just weren’t enough hours in the day for me to feel like I was doing the quality of work that the university deserved,” Britt said. “Also just to have energy left for my wife and my daughter.” After resigning, he and his family moved to Richardson, Texas, where Britt was the Director of Fine Arts for Richardson Independent School District, Britt said.

However, after some conflicts between former Pride director Justin Stolarik, who replaced Britt, and the students were brought to the attention of OU President David Boren, Boren gave Britt a call, Britt said. “He contacted me after visiting with the students, and at that point we began to visit about strategies to When I came to help the program,” Britt OU, band was really said. “Ultimately he asked me to come back.” the first thing I got After discussing the move with his wife, Britt consult- plugged into, so Mr. ed Boren about the param- Britt was like a role eters of his position and the model to me.” two were able to reach an agreement, Britt said.

about coming back and working with these wonderful students,” Britt said. Britt’s relationship to outside supporters of The Pride played a role in Boren contacting him, Britt said. “Given the circumstances, I think he felt that it was important to bring in someone who could establish trust quickly,” Britt said. According to biochemistry senior Andrew Ross, Britt’s role in his first two years of school was a vital one. “When I came to OU, band was really the first thing I got plugged into, so Mr. Britt was like a role model to me,” Ross said. “Having him back, especially for my last year in Pride, is a great way to end things.” After being in an administrative position, Britt said he forgot how much he enjoyed working directly with students. “It’s been really rewarding to be back on the field, do some teaching, and be part of that daily interaction with them again,” Britt said Daisy Creager Daisy.C.Creager-1@ou.edu

PEOPLE TO KNOW
White using victory for good Miss OU pageant winner using platform to convey dangers of drunken driving DAISY CREAGER News Reporter
When her name was announced as the winner of Miss OU, public relations senior Claire White asked the emcee if he was being serious. “It was one of the most emotional times I’ve experienced as a student at OU,” White said. “I was shocked, truly shocked.” White said that in high school, she competed in Miss USA, Miss Texas Teen and Miss International. “I actually saw [pageants] on an episode of ‘Made’ on MTV,” White said. “It was ‘I want to be a pageant queen.’ I thought, ‘I want to be a pageant queen, maybe I should do that.’” After senior year of high school, she decided to take a break from competing. However, a desire to educate others and to be a role model compelled her to compete again, White said. “I remembered that the pageant system always made me feel that I could influence others and get other people passionate about what I’m passionate about,” White said. In preparation, White met with interviewers, a personal trainer and researched her platform extensively, Miss OU pageant director Tessa Traxler said. “She is a go-getter,” Traxler said. “She set her goal to be Miss OU and she got there.” Her passion for her platform made her performance in Miss OU on Oct. 4 different from other pageants she has competed in, White said. “I put my whole heart into it,” White said. “Ever since I made this my platform I knew that I wanted to influence peoples’ lives in a positive way, and I wanted to make sure that no one had to go through what I did.” White said her platform, titled “Don’t drink and drive #survive,” drew inspiration for her platform from the death of her friend Byron Chew in 2009 as a result of drinking and driving. “No one should have to go through the pain that all of his relatives and friends did,” White said. “My goal is to make sure no one [experiences] the consequences of drinking and driving because they should already know not to get behind the wheel.” White is using her title as a megaphone to educate the community about the risks of drinking and driving, she said.

has already made appearances at Longfellow Middle School, pageant contests in Noble, Oklahoma as well as community events. “Claire has some experiences in life that she uses to really ground herself,” Traxler said. “I think her goal-setting and her perseverance are huge.” White said the pageant and her title have given her grace, poise and confidence. “It has given me real life experience that I never thought I would get from a pageant,” White said. In addition to educating the community about her platform, White said that she plans to train to compete in Miss Oklahoma in June. “I have already started making waves in the community that I hope will continue to be bigger waves at the state level, and eventually at a national level, hopefully,” White said.

BIOTECH: Committee gauging student interest Continued from page 1 Right now, the concentration is not something that would be represented on a diploma, Callaghan said. However, the department plans on allowing students to request that proof of the biotechnology concentration be submitted with a job application or a graduate school application, Callaghan said. “The reason that we have a concentration instead of a major right now is in part
because we want to gauge interest,” Bartley said. In addition to gauging student interest, the concentration option will also kick-start a discussion with faculty in other departments, Callaghan said, “It’s really going to take a collaborative effort across several departments.” It would make sense to engage the biology department and the department of chemistry and biochemistry, Callaghan said. We can also envision that there may
be students who want to be more on the marketing side of biotechnology, Callaghan said. “The specializations will come later as the program grows,” Callaghan said. Microbiology and plant biology majors should start thinking about the biotechnology concentration when they start taking classes in their major, to leave them enough time to simultaneously fulfill other major requirements, Callaghan said. “It doesn’t need to be official to start working on the
requirements because they fit with [microbiology and plant biology] major requirements already,” Bartley said. Interested students should contact the department of microbiology and plant biology, Bartley said. She also encourages students to email her for more information at lbartley@ ou.edu.

Versatility vital to horn ensemble Group to perform tonight in concert that will feature U.S. debuts of several pieces
GO AND DO OU Hornsemble concert
BRYNNE FRAUENHOFFER Life & Arts Reporter
Eldon R. Matlick, director of the OU Hornsemble, gestured proudly to eight filing cabinet drawers. “I probably have one of the largest horn ensemble collections in the country,” Matlick said. Compositions written solely for horn groups can be hard to come by, but Matlick has assembled many after years of playing the instrument all around the world and directing passionate horn players and students of the OU Hornsemble. The group will perform 8 p.m. today in Catlett Music Center’s Sharp Concert Hall. Though not a conventional group of instruments, Matlick said the horn’s history has a lot to do with its unique allure. “It’s sort of an unusual ensemble for the average person,” Matlick said. “But actually the horn in large ensemble goes back to the mid-1700s.” The longest standing horn ensemble, the Wiener Waldhorn Verein, has existed since 1860 and even played during WWII. One of the historic group’s current players gave Matlick new pieces that have never been heard in the U.S. before. Some of these, such as a composition inspired by Scottish folklore, will be performed in this fall’s concert. Other pieces came from the library of the Los Angeles Horn Society, where film composers sometimes workshop cinematic scores. The horn contributes to more types of music than one might assume. In addition to classical works, Matlick said jazz and contemporary styles are just as vital to a horn player’s repertoire. Sophomore Hornsemble member Cayden Howard said
When: 8 p.m. today Where: Catlett Music Center’s Sharp Concert Hall Price: $9 for adults, $5 for OU students, all tickets will be $10 at the door.

Horn instructor Eldon Matlick discusses the upcoming Hornsemble concert. The Hornsemble will perform its fall chamber music concert at 8 p.m. tonight in Catlett Music Center’s Sharp Concert Hall.
the concert’s last song could prove most popular for this reason. “It’s got a lot of different styles in it,” Howard said. “It could appeal to a lot of different people.” Matlick contends that one reason the horn sounds so interesting is because of its versatility as a single instrument. “It can sound, in its upper range, more trumpet-like, and in the low range it will go down as low as a tuba,” Matlick said. “So we have a workable four-and-a-half-octave range.” Music majors make up part of the Hornsemble, but more than half of the group studies other subjects. “All ensembles are open for campus-wide participation,”
Matlick said. “So if they want to participate and they want to put the work in, that’s great and we welcome them with open arms.” For a preview of the Hornsemble’s sound, access recordings of over 40 past performances on the group’s YouTube page. Tickets are available for $9 for adults and $5 for OU students in advance at the Fine Arts Box Office. All tickets will be $10 at the door. Brynne Frauenhoffer brynnefrau@ou.edu

In the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game — long after the result had been decided — sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight was knocked out of the game and carted off the field. Following the game, players said Knight was ‘fine’ and, according to the OU Football Twitter account, walked out of the Switzer Center under his own power. Quarterback Trevor Knight
Stoopses 2.Wilson, share words Because of the lack of defensive adjustments, senior cornerback Julian Wilson and Bob and Mike Stoops got in an argument where Wilson clearly looked frustrated. A clip of the argument surfaced on the Internet and quickly spread, showing a prime example of how the team’s past few weeks has gone. The Sooners’ pass coverage hasn’t been great this year but it stooped to a new low on Saturday. Cornerback Julian Wilson
3.Hunnicutt’s lost mojo
It says a lot about a kicker if he serves as a team captain as well. But senior Michael Hunnicutt’s l a s t f e w games have been far from captain performances. From the start of 2013 through the Texas game this season, Hunnicutt was 32-of-36 on field goal attempts. However in his last three games, Hunnicutt is just 2-of-5. A miss on Saturday — one that wasn’t even close — shows that Hunnicutt is clearly in a slump. Kicker Michael Hunnicutt
