OU, OSU to face off in bedlam blood battle Drive to be held in the Armory BROOKE HANKINSON Campus Reporter

A blood drive competition between OU and Oklahoma State starts today to collect blood for patients across

Oklahoma.

The Bedlam Blood Battle with Oklahoma Blood Institute will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day this week in the Armory’s North Armory Room, according to a press release.

OU will compete with OSU to see which university can

collect the most blood from donors on campus.

Every two seconds, someone needs blood, according to the press release. Blood donors w ith O klahoma Blood Institute provide every drop of blood needed by patients in more than 140 medical facilities across

Oklahoma, including all hospitals in the Oklahoma City metro area.

Aimee Hanneman’s son, Bennett Hanneman, is one of these patients. Bennett Hanneman is an 8-monthold boy who has been a patient of The Children’s Hospital at the OU Medical

Center, with hematologists and oncologists working since Aug. 2 to diagnose him.

Aimee Hanneman said Bennett Hanneman wasn’t acting like himself, so she decided to take him to his pediatrician, who ordered a blood test and found his

hemoglobin levels were extremely low. Bennett Hanneman’s hemoglobin levels were 1.7 when he was admitted into The Children’s Hospital.

OU Children’s does not yet have a diagnosis, but Aimee see BLOOD pAGe 2

Newsletter serves Professors to retire in spring Barbara Boyd “That’s probably to unite students Tom, the thing I will miss to teach final class ‘Don Quijote’ becomes a forum for Honors students PAIGHTEN HARKINS Campus Reporter

Students in OU’s Honors College have begun an effort toward an ideal and closeto-perfect university education through a student-run publication.

The weekly newsletter is called the Don Quijote Honors College and takes cues from the famous hopeless pursuer Don Quixote himself, said William Lonn, coeditor of the newsletter. The newsletter serves to give students the opportunity to have a more comprehensive, self-guided university education. “[The newsletter] is kind of

like an unrealistic ideal of what 21st century education should be,” Lonn said. “The idea is it’s a hopeless pursuit toward an ideal.”

The idea for the publication came to Honors College Dean David Ray a few years ago, but it didn’t take off until this year, Lonn said.

The students who contribute have the opportunity to write essays or reviews on four different topics covering subjects like William Shakespeare’s plays, Edith Hamilton’s books on Greece and Rome, Richard Feynman’s lectures on introductory physics and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano concertos.

The four topics were chosen because they are great starting places from which to leap see ACADEMICS pAGe 2

An award-winning OU philosophy and religious studies professor will end a more than 40-year tenure when he retires at the end of the academic year.

Tom Boyd retired from teaching full time in 1997, but President David Boren talked him out of retirement in 2002 to join OU’s religious studies program.

Boyd, who specializes in philosophy of religion and ethics, recently has been concentrating on the relationships between different world religions and between religion and culture , according to The Oklahoma Daily’s archives.

most — working with students; I love sharing with them.”

TOM BOYD, PROFESSOR

Parting indefinitely this time will be bittersweet, Boyd said.

“We’ll come back to visit, of course; we’ve made so many friends here,” he said.

“We’re realizing that we’re doing things now for the last time. It’s liberating on one side, and it’s like, ‘Awe, really?’ on the other.”

Boyd and his wife, Barbara, will teach their last course ,“Religious Problems in Contemporary Literature,” this spring , and Boyd said he’s really excited about the Honors course.

“A lot about a religious

tradition can be captured in a story,” Boyd said. “It becomes living. It’s no longer abstract or theoretical. It’s about people desperately trying to simply engage their lives through faith — I like that.”

The Honors s eminar, capp e d at 22 students , will take place from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays next semester and will include student presentations and a lot of interactive learning, Boyd said. Enrollment for the junior-level, three-credit-hour course is filling up.

“That’s probably the thing I will miss most – working with students; I love sharing with them,” Boyd said.

“I’m not the expert type who tells you how and what to think. I listen, invite, engage, challenge and thrive on see FACULTY pAGe 2

Th e St u d e nt Me d i a Publications Board announced its choice for The Oklahoma Daily’s new editor in chief for the spring semester after the current editor in chief resigned.

Mary Stanfield was selected in a 6-2 vote on Friday to replace current editor in chief Laney Ellisor, who resigned for health reasons.

Ellisor, professional writing senior, said she will continue her responsibilities through Dec. 14.

“I am honored to be chosen to lead The Daily in this unusual situation,” Stanfield said.

Stanfield, a philosophy senior, started working at The Daily in spring 2009 as a columnist. The next three semesters, she worked as a columnist and copy editor. When she returned from studying abroad in spring 2011, see MEDIA pAGe 2

Hanneman said that Bennett Hanneman’s blood samples were sent to Baylor’s medical center, and results are expected in the middle of December.

Bennett Hanneman has received seven blood transfusions since he was admitted in the beginning of August because his hemoglobin levels were below 8.0, Aimee Hanneman said.

Aimee Hanneman said her son receives one blood transfusion around every 10 to 14 days and had to receive a continuous low feed for the first 24 hours after he was admitted.

“Without blood donors, my son wouldn’t be here today, and I just want to thank donors for their time and for giving something so small that makes such a difference,” Aimee Hanneman said.

B e n n e tt Ha n n e ma n ’s aunt, Julie Watson, is OU Football Coach Bob Stoops’ secretary.

Aimee Hanneman said that Stoops makes it a habit to visit patients at OU Children’s, and he visited Bennett Hanneman.

“We will always remember

his kindness that he showed my family,” Aimee Hanneman said.

Everyone who donates blood could save a life and give patients’ families peace of mind, said Leslie Gamble, Oklahoma Blood Institute’s d i re c t o r o f c o m mu n i t y relations.

Stanfield’s goals for The Daily include ensuring the paper’s quality and consistency and reaching out to recruit a more diverse staff — students who come from a variety of backgrounds and bring a variety of strengths and interests to The Daily.

“I want to reach out to groups on campus who have traditionally been underrepresented in The Daily’s products,” Stanfield said.

“The Daily should represent the entire Sooner experience and be a vital resource to every corner of the campus community.”

Stanfield said she sees The Daily as a forum for student

constructive arguments.”

Religious studies senior Lacey Garrison said she’s especially interested in the course, as she spent the past three semesters with the two

professors. Garrison took “Religion, Culture, and the Meaning of Life” with Boyd last fall and “Introduction to Religious Studies” with his wife, and Garrison studied abroad with the couple to study the Protestant Reformation this summer.

She said she recognizes unity building will be an important first step.

“The biggest challenge for any editor in chief is to unite a new editorial board behind the paper’s mission and a particular vision,” Stanfield said.

She intends to hire an editorial board she trusts, taking their experience and ideas into account as she plans how the newsroom will move forward.

when trying to learn about those broad fields, Lonn said.

One contributor to the newsletter focused on two chapters in Hamilton’s book, “The Greek Way,” which outlined the Greeks as the beginnings of Western culture, University College freshman Benjamin Clark said.

The newsletter features two essays about a selection of the four topics each week. That may change, however, because of the increased interest in the project.

Students also have brought up the idea of adding more topics, such as important or classic works of literature, Lonn said.

“Dr. Ray said…there are

1,000 kids here on campus who are as smart as anyone at any university. The problem—the thing that keeps us from being like Yale—is that we’re separated,” Clark said.

“There are 19,000 between those 1,000 smart kids, very smart kids. He thought this newsletter might start bringing a few of them together.”

“I’m ver y fond of the Boyds,” Garrison said.

Garrison recently found out about Boyd’s plan to retire and said the news was disheartening.

“I think he’s the most humble and genuine person I’ve ever met,” she said.

“They’ve both benefitted me greatly, and they will be missed dearly.”

Boyd and his wife will be moving to New Mexico, where they hope to write

books, get involved with certain educational programs for struggling Hispanic youths and further live their lives volunteering, he said.

“There’s no telling what else we’ll do,” Boyd said.

“We’re just thrilled.”

to decide your right to resell possessions

I

n the heat of the opinion columnist election season, an important story with potentially profound effects has been overshadowed by nittygritty political stories.

Currently, the U.S, Supreme Court is Scott Houser evaluating the case of scott.a.houser-1@ou.edu Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons — a case that could have a profound impact on your daily life.

In this case, Supap Kirtsaeng, a Taiwanese exchange student, made more than $900,000 by purchasing cheap foreign editions of English textbooks, shipping them to the U.S. and reselling them on eBay for substantial profit.

One of the publishers of these textbooks has sued Kirtsaeng for copyright infringement and the case is on appeal.

Should the Supreme Court find in favor of John Wiley & Sons, your right to resell products manufactured abroad without the consent of the manufacturer could come to an end, along with the numerous businesses who depend on the right to resell, such as Amazon and Ebay.

In U.S. copyright law, owners of products are free to resell, lend or otherwise do as they please with the products they have purchased. However, there is no uniform rule for products purchased abroad.

The fact that John Wiley & Sons were able to win the case in lower courts is absolutely ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that many expect Supreme Court justices to be evenly divided on the issue.

Justice Kegan is expected to make the decisive vote with the rest of the court split 4-4.

This case comes down to one central idea: “Do you own what you own?” In a country that takes pride in free market principles, this case should be a no-brainer.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of John Wiley & Sons, the effects on our market will be near catastrophic.

Think of everything you own that was not manufactured in the U.S.. With the decline of American manufacturing in our global economy, a large majority of our material possessions are manufactured abroad. Most phones, TVs, computers, clothing and even components of automobiles come from foreign manufacturers.

Is it really in the best interest of our country to legally kill the individuals right to resell such possessions?

Those who are in favor of John Wiley & Sons claim a decision in their favor would stop U.S. companies from shipping jobs overseas to prevent being undercut by unlicensed importers of their own products like Kirtsaeng.

While this is a real concern, stopping individuals from reselling their own goods is not the proper method for achieving this goal. If our goal is to keep jobs in the U.S., we should remove burdensome regulations — not impose new ones.

Scott Houser is a international business senior.

Put your leftover pumpkins to good use with four tips

Life & Arts Reporter

Hundreds gathered Saturday at the Donald W. Reynolds Performing Arts Center for the final sold-out University Sing performance and award ceremony.

The 64-year-old show was one of the main events for Campus Activities Council’s Dad’s Day weekend.

This year ’s theme was “Picture Perfect.” Acts were challenged to choose a photo from around campus or in a past Sooner yearbook and tell the story of the photo in a 12minute musical. The themes of the short plays ranged f ro m f l ap p e r s a n d m o b money to space exploration.

With catchy tunes and flashy costumes, the audience was tuned in the whole time.

Alpha Phi and Alpha Tau Omega’s act, titled “Raise Your Voice,” about students fighting back against a campus-wide pop music ban, won first place and was a crowd favorite.

In addition to winning the highest honor of the night, University College freshman Payne Parker, of Alpha Tau Omega, won the best actor award for his role as Stevie Turner. University College freshman Stephen Cabler snagged the best supporting actor award for his role as Stevie Turner’s lovable sidekick, Wendell.

University College freshman Chloe Voreis won best female lead for her performance in “On Top of the World,” and University College freshman Claire Cowman won the award for best supporting female character for her part in

However, there is no need to let your Halloween pumpkins go to Shannon Borden waste. Of course, there is an shannonborden@ou.edu infinite number of recipes involving pumpkins, but here are a few less conventional uses for your leftover holiday gourds:

audience members donate to their favorite act. CAC raised $3,156 for the charity, which was announced during the event.

Kylie Frisby, public relations sophomore and graphic design executive, was pleased with the way the show turned out. She said she felt everyone’s hard work had paid off.

“I was just so happy to have been a part of it,” Frisby said.

Shannon Borden, shannonborden@ou.edu

Let’s be honest, the only real world use for physics is throwing pumpkins off of balconies and watching them burst into a million pieces, right? Invite your friends over with their leftover pumpkins and go nuts. Just remember to clean up the mess. I mean, pumpkins are biodegradable, but that doesn’t give you a free pass to be gross.

Just think of how awesome the Instagram photos will be.

2. Roast The Seeds The roasting of pumpkin seeds is a tradition that dates back to the Native Americans. They have a nutty flavor and pair well with both sweet and savory spices. They are a great low-calorie snack, not to mention a source of vitamins and minerals. They also reduce inflammation for people with arthritis, which will be good in the future when we all have it from texting all the time.

3. Make A Facial Mask Fun Fact: Pumpkin is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Zinc, all of which are great for the skin. Vitamin A helps the skin heal; making pumpkin facial masks a good choice for those with sensitive skin. There are many adjustments you can make to the mask recipe (i.e. adding apple cider to reduce oil or adding brown sugar to exfoliate) to make it more suitable to your particular skin type.

4. Donate It Most people don’t know you can donate pumpkins to local farmers to feed their animals. Instead of throwing your pumpkin away, spread the love and give the animals a little taste of fall, too.

Owen field has experienced its fair share of windy days, making Saturday’s blustery afternoon with 20-plus mile per hour gusts whipping t h ro u g h t h e s t a d i u m a normal occurrence. But by the time the 2:30 p.m. kickoff rolled around, questions arose about whether senior quarterback Landry Jones’ passing game would be affected by the turbulent currents.

Jones answered by reeling off a near flawless performance in the first quarter, completing 10of-11 passes, including a touchdown pass to junior running back Brennan Clay for the first score of the game — all against the wind.

“Give Landr y credit,” coach Bob Stoops said after the game. “Thought he did a good job, and (the wind) didn’t affect his ball much.”

Jones had an average day, finishing with 277 yards on 25 completions with two touchdowns, while Baylor quarterback Nick Florence, who came into the game averaging 377.4 passing yards per game, failed to launch the Bears’ passing game that could have beat OU. Florence overthrew his receivers, and when the passes were on the money, his receivers couldn’t haul in the balls. Whether the wind had anything to do with his performance, it was evident Baylor’s aerial attack experienced a setback in

Florence completed just 12-of-33 passes for a dismal 36 percent passing completion, Justin his lowest of Brown the season. He also failed to throw a touchdown pass in a game for the first time this season.

B u t O U ’s f o u r - y e a r starter said he knew his offense needed to make modifications because of the weather conditions.

“You have to make sure that you are going to put a tight spiral on it all night so that you can kind of cut through it,” Jones said. “The ball was moving around a bit,

and the receivers did a great job of adjusting to it.”

Adjustments that Jones said he was used to making in his career.

“Being from New Mexico, I had to deal with the wind there,” Jones said.

And Jones wasn’t the only player Saturday with that type of experience.

“I didn’t know it got that windy out here in Oklahoma, but apparently it does,” senior wide receiver Justin Brown said. “I’m used to that back east, too; it gets windy.”

The Penn State transfer also had to make his own adjustments in the game that ended up paying dividends to both his individual performance and the team’s offense surge just before

halftime. Brown had one of the biggest catches of the day, a 35-yard touchdown pass that put the Sooners up 28-17 in the waning seconds of the second quarter.

Although the diving catch was a display of Brown’s playmaking skills, the experienced receiver said he also knew how important it was for Jones to make the necessary adjustments in the passing game.

“When you can throw a tight spiral, it goes right t h ro u g h t h e w i n d , a n d Landry Jones did a good job with that,” Brown said.

Key performer: Senior The Sooners were slow guard Steven Pledger out of the gate — starting led the Sooners with off shooting 1-for-8 from 15 points — all from the floor — but received a 3-pointers. big boost from their bench, Key opponent: Junior which scored 37 points. guard Amos Olatayo “We didn’t open it really led all scorers with 21 sharp,” coach Lon Kruger points said. “I thought we were a little bit on our heels, Dillon Phillips, Assistant Sports Editor defensively, especially just watching as opposed to dictating.”

OU’s bench was led by senior forward Andrew Fitzgerald, who scored 12 points on 6-for-10 shooting.

“I took a great approach to [coming off the bench],” Fitzgerald said. “I’ve been real positive about it, and [Kruger] still wants me to be aggressive and help this team out scoring-wise.”

Fitzgerald also snagged six boards. “(Now I’m) just attacking the glass hard and putting an emphasis on going to the boards hard during practice,” Fitzgerald said. “And I think it’s starting to happen for me now; I’m attacking the board more often.”

Electric freshman guard Buddy Hield also was impressive off the bench — scoring nine points, pulling down three rebounds and swiping a pair of steals — but it was the other two freshman guards, Isaiah Cousins and Je’lon Hornbeak, who really shined.

The two combined for a 10-to-1 turnover-to-assist ratio and four steals. Hornbeak was one of four Sooners to score double figures (10), and he also added five rebounds and a block.

“It’s definitely, definitely good to know that the young guys are picking up things fast,” senior guard Steven Pledger said.
