OU could increase faculty workload Extra courses to help increase compensation JEFFREY NYONI Campus Reporter

I nc r e a s i n g t he nu m b e r of courses professors must teach to a minimum of four courses per year on average for faculty members, and increasing the use of digital technologies to replace

textbooks and to lower student costs were among the topics OU President David Boren discussed during his state of the university address to the Faculty Senate on Monday in Jacobson Hall.

Because compensation for faculty members has been frozen because of cuts to OU’s budget in recent years, Boren proposed increasing faculty workloads to

increase compensation.

Compression issues also exist in terms of bridging the gap between salaries of newer faculty additions versus older facult y incumbents, Boren sa id. The university often must hire new faculty at salaries higher than the salaries of incumbent faculty members because of current market prices.

Boren discussed the availability of digital material as an aid to education efforts with Boren stressing that online materials would not replace existing courses. He said faculty must lead the school in determining the appropriate use of digital material in education.

Future goals for the university also include taking steps to

complete a comprehensive evaluation of university curriculum and increasing the graduation rate from 68 percent to 75 percent, Boren said.

Boren also commented on the collaborative efforts between OU and Oklahoma State University that have saved $15 million in Information Technology costs. see SPEECH pAGe 2

fOOTBALL Austin Woods in remission after lymphoma diagnosis TOBI NEIDY

Sports Reporter

On OU’s official athletic website, junior offensive lineman Austin Woods’ short biography doesn’t accurately describe the student-athlete.

Sure, all the usual information is there: Woods is listed as a 6-foot-4, 293-pound guard from Rockwall, Texas. There’s a little factoid about how he won a Cotton Bowl art contest in consecutive years back when he was in the first and second grades, and the last section also explains that he chose to don the No. 50 jersey to pay tribute to his father, who, as a coach, reserves that same number for the team’s starting center.

But missing from the particulars on the limited website space probably is the most important story that defines the person that is Austin Woods: OU’s special teams’ starting deep snapper fought and beat cancer while not missing a beat on the field this season.

The Battle Begins During last spring’s practices, Woods said he noticed swollen glands around his neck during what seemed like a routine sore throat.

After ruling out several potential ailments, he went to see an

oncologist and received devastating news: He had stage three Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer in the lymphatic system that hurts the body’s ability to fight infection.

Immediately, Woods said he began to think about how he was not going to let cancer affect his life.

He opted to take the road less traveled.

“I wanted to stay in class and continue

working out,” Woods said. “Doing that, I could keep the right attitude to beat this.”

Woods met with his doctors in Oklahoma City to get chemotherapy treatments every two weeks. The poisons being pumped into his veins to help fight off the cancer have a notorious history of robbing patients of their daily strength, forcing Woods to entertain the option of using his redshirt year.

But Woods said he was determined to let opposing defenses be the only thing beating him on the gridiron.

“It’s all about your attitude,” Woods said. “You can’t control how you feel every day, but you can control your attitude.” see WOODS pAGe 6

Professor dies of heart attack Sooners can play Leo Whinery’s life to be celebrated Saturday PAIGHTEN HARKINS Campus Reporter

A retired OU professor of many talents died Sunday morning of a heart attack, following years of poor health.

Leo Whinery had been teaching at OU since 1959 and was most well known as a scholar of evidence law, which deals with determining what type of evidence is admissible in court, said Drew Kershen, professor of law emeritus.

Whinery became one of the leading experts in his field in Oklahoma, and even on the national level, Kershen said.

“[Whinery] was known internationally as a leading expert in the field of evidence.

Above all, he was a caring member of the OU family,” OU President David Boren said in a statement.

Although Whinery retired from OU in 2003, he still taught a few classes as an adjunct professor in the years following, according to his biography page. He also was very active within the university, attending lectures and events regularly, law professor David Swank said.

Whinery hosted the annual OU Cousins BBQ at his farm and has done so since 1995.

The barbecue is the largest event the group see FACULTY pAGe 2

Does the new open-carry law protect rights?

Owner amends policy after clarification ARIANNA PICKARD Campus Reporter

Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers in Adams Center made its food more accessible to students by changing its policy regarding meal plans before the restaurant opened.

When the university signed a contract to open a Raising Cane’s restaurant in Adams Center, it agreed only to allow a student to use a meal exchange to buy a sandwich combo, according to the contract. If students

wanted an item on the menu other than the sandwich combo, they wouldn’t be able to purchase it using a meal exchange from the university meal plan, regardless of the item’s price.

Before the restaurant opened Oct. 19 , new employees at the Raising Cane’s in Adams Center grew concerned student customers would be upset if they could only use their meal exchanges to buy one item from the menu.

Hailey Powell, an international business sophomore and employee at the Raising Cane’s in Adams Center, joined her coworkers to inform the restaurant’s owner

of how important meal exchanges are to students with meal plans, Powell said. The owner agreed to change the policy so students could use meal exchanges for more items on the menu before the restaurant opened.

“We weren’t quite sure how the meal exchanges worked,” said Chad Achord, who owns both Raising C a n e ’s r e s t a u r a n t s i n Norman.

Achord said he thought students with meal plans only could use meal exchanges to buy one item on the menu. Once students and the university explained to him how the meal plans see MEAL pAGe 2

Now, students can use meal exchanges to buy any item from the restaurant, and if the price of the item exceeds $7, students can use meal points to make up the difference, Achord said.

“When we went into it, we were going to honor the meal plans, and once I became versed on how to do it, we said this is the way we’re going to do it,” Achord said.

“Professor Whinery was always very gracious and welcoming to our students and was always eager to begin planning for the following year’s barbecue, “ Wolber said.

Swank remembers Whinery not only professionally as a great professor and colleague but also a man of many gentlemanly trades, he said.

“He was sort of a renaissance man; a classical musician, raced horses, rode horses, a faculty member and a teacher,” Swank said.

Whinery played violin and bred horses on his farm southeast of Norman. He specifically bred a German horse known as a Trakehner for dressage and hunterjumper, Kershen said.

As a longtime family friend, Kershen remembers how fascinating both Whinery and his wife, Doris,

were because of their many talents.

“It was just interesting to go out to the farm and see their farm and see their horses and see their riding. He was a man of many talents…professionally as a scholar and a judge, and then his talents in music, and breeding and selling and showing of horses,” Kershen said.

Whinery is remembered as a great scholar and colleague, a multi-talented individual and for his work with OU Cousins.

“Professor Whiner y will be missed dearly by the thousands of students who had the opportunity and pleasure of enjoying the OU Cousins BBQ at the Whinery Ranch,” Wolber said.

University departments are participating in their own activities for the food drive, but the sculpture contest is only for student organizations, Sewell said.

UOSA is organizing the campus food drive and sculpture contest as part of Gov. Mary Fallin’s Fall Food Drive for the second year in a row.

Fallin’s office reached out to the deans of students at OU and Oklahoma State University, Sewell said. OU dean of students Clarke Stroud took Sewell with him as a delegate to talk to Fallin and OSU’s leadership about the food drive in August.

The participating organizations collect cans individually and then bring those cans to the sculpture contest, Zuerker said. There will be two winning sculptures — the one with the most cans and the one that is most creative.

Kraft Food donated several cases of food that will be given to the winning organizations, Zuerker said.

The university-wide food drive will not end until

Thursday, so UOSA has time to collect all of the cans and take them to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, Zuerker said.

Any canned, non-perishable food items can be donated at the UOSA office, Zuerker said. Freshmen also can use leftover meal exchanges or meal points at any OU Campus Dining restaurant to purchase cans to donate.

“There are so few opportunities that we have to make a direct impact on people in our community, and I just think that a canned food drive is such an easy way to make an impact on someone’s life,” Zuerker said.

Zuerker said she hopes that eventually the food drive will be recognized as a staple fall event on OU’s campus so it can impact the community in even greater ways with each passing year.

A marijuana plant grows at the Northwest Patient Resource Center medical marijuana dispensary in Seattle. Votes this week by Colorado and Washington to allow adult marijuana possession have prompted what could be a turning point in the nation’s conflicted and confusing war on drugs.

Clearly, Oklahomans may not be ready to follow in the dramatic footsteps of Colorado and Washington. But there are things Sooners can do right now to work toward a solution.

Oklahomans should encourage prosecutors in the state to follow the lead of New York City and other districts: Use their prosecutorial discretion to avoid taking on marijuana-related charges. This would free up legal resources for serious offenses.

At the same time, Sooners should join the contingent of Oklahomans strongly advocating for marijuana legalization and voice their opinions to their legislators. Even if nothing happens right away, your efforts could be part of the gradual process of educating lawmakers and changing your neighbors’ minds.

Lana Del Rey’s new album worth every cent LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST

hat is it with artists rereleasing albums as revamped editions?

Katy Perry did it in March with “Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection,” and now Lana Del Rey is doing it Nov. 13 with “Born To Die — The Paradise Edition.”

Not that I’m complaining, because even the slightest whisper of a new Del Rey song has me scouring the Internet for free downloads.

And “Paradise” is, technically, a nine-track EP available as an individual purchase or sold packaged with the original 15 songs on “Born To Die.” What I don’t understand is why artists tie new material to old albums. Why not just release it as a brand new thing, complete with a new album title and a fresh identity?

Perry obviously did it to capitalize on the smash success of her sophomore album; “Complete Confection” included only three unreleased songs and a few remixes/acoustics/ mash-ups, which clearly wasn’t enough material to justify releasing an EP. Del Rey, on the other hand, has come a long way

since the Jan. 31 release of “Born To Die.” She’s served as the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live,” was chosen as the face of Jaguar, was featured in an H&M ad and even has a $1,500 Mulberry handbag named after her. The world has noticeably fallen in love with her, and it appears she no longer needs to prove herself.

It makes sense she would want to associate her new material with the success of her debut album. “Born To Die” sold nearly 2.8 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of 2012.

But come on, Lana, quirks and all, you’re the music industry’s golden child right now.

Anything you touch instantly becomes “cool,” and everyone wants to be associated with your retro, good-girl-goes-bad

mystique. You certainly don’t need to convince us to buy a new album, let alone an EP. Del Rey has been doling out “Paradise” tracks since mid-September with the official announcement and video release of the EP’s hauntingly freeing lead single, “Ride.” Shortly after, the music video for the classic “Blue Velvet” was released via H&M, and a week later the song was available for purchase.

Finally, a promotional video for light and ethereal closing track “Bel Air” dropped last Thursday.

The new songs certainly possess the singer’s signature vocal mix of baby-talk and deep notes, as well as typical heavy instrumentals. While the tracks on “Born To Die” flowed effortlessly into one another, the rhythm on “Paradise” is a bit more

staccato. The songs are more varied, giving us a glimpse into the depth Del Rey likely will offer on future full-length albums.

But the hype definitely has been built up. Del Rey surely has her fans (including me) dying to own this EP. It may not be worth it

to purchase the combo pack, so to speak, if you already have “Born To Die,” but “Paradise” is sure to be one of the last must-buys of 2012.

Woods: Mom’s victory against cancer provided inspiration during battle Continued from page 1

Not fighting alone Throughout the summer months, Woods continued to receive treatments, while attending two-a-days all the way through summer and fall camps. He said he noticed the difference in his strength at practice but learned how to accept the regular setbacks.

“I was more tired than usual,” Woods said. “Every two weeks, I would go get that next treatment, and it would knock me down, but I knew that it would take a couple days before getting back to full speed.”

Junior guard Bronson Irwin accompanied Woods to his treatments, something he said he didn’t expect even from his closest friends.

“We get so little free time that I didn’t want them to spend it watching me get pumped with chemicals,”

Woods said.

But Woods never was alone; at least one of his parents made the trip from their home in Texas to be with their son during every round of treatments. “ It j u s t w o r k e d o u t ,” Austin’s father, Don Woods said. “I took the summer shift, and (Austin’s mom) L i z ( Wo o d s ) t o o k o v e r once school started. We decided to let Austin get the treatments in Oklahoma because he had a great support system of doctors and teammates that helped him.”

Like mother, like son Elizabeth Woods, who is a breast cancer survivor of 15 years, battled the disease when her oldest son was just five years old.

At the time, she also just had a newborn baby — Austin’s younger brother Clayton Woods — to take care of while meeting for treatments.

Junior lineman Austin Woods (50) runs out of the tunnel at the Cotton Bowl before the OU-Texas game Oct. 13.

“I knew after each treatment, I would gradually get better,” Elizabeth Woods said. “Anytime I was feeling down, I just picked up one of the boys.”

A l t h ou g h t h e m o t h e r of two knew firsthand what her eldest son would experience after learning of the diagnosis, that factor didn’t make it any easier.

“It was hard knowing what Austin would have to go through,” Elizabeth Woods said. “And we were just so shocked and surprised that a person that was so big and healthy-looking was sick.”

B u t l i k e h i s m o t h e r, Austin Woods kept his mind off of his body’s battle by being able to concentrate on practice schedules and playbook responsibilities.

“The coaches talked about redshirting him, but the doctors said Austin needed something to look forward to, and staying active could help his treatments,” Don Woods said.

A n d Au s t i n Wo o d s’ commitment to the team didn’t go unnoticed. He purposely scheduled his treatments on Fridays so that he would have the weekend to regroup before starting the weekly summer practices.

“It’s a tough thing for someone to go through, and he went through all of summer workouts, too,” senior offensive guard Lane Johnson said. “I really look up to him because of his perseverance.”

Johnson wasn’t the only Sooner to notice Austin’s resolve.

“When we were going through workouts and you look to your left, you look at Austin, and he’s going through it,” junior center
