OU alumnus creates meditation labyrinth to be housed in library Blayklee Buchanan Managing Editor
A man looked down over the rail of the winding staircase of Bizzell Memorial Library where six chairs sat at the bottom of Lower Level Two. These stairs twisted down like a labyrinth, to the area where there will soon be another: a meditation labyrinth called Sparq. The man is Matt Cook, OU alumnus and night supervisor at Bizzell. The labyrinth, currently sitting in pieces in his house, was his idea. Sparq is comprised of a metal frame that stands 13 feet tall, stretching roughly 13 feet wide. It works via an iPad that connects to a
projector that beams light onto the ground into the shape of a labyrinth. From there, whoever enters the labyrinth can walk, do yoga or even dance on the projected pattern. Meditation labyrinths are meant to increase work productivity, and companies like Google have already implemented their use for stressed workers. But Sparq is a different kind of labyrinth. Unlike other labyrinths that are typically permanent instillations in the ground, Sparq uses the projector to allow the user to choose his or her own pattern for meditation. Sparq has six projections to choose from, all of which are based from different cultures.
The development of Sparq started when Cook was researching for his master’s thesis in philosophy. He researched with his professor, Jim Hawthorne, looking for ways to increase cognitive ability by modifying the environment. Cook wrote his dissertation in May 2012 on the extended mind or how the human mind extends into the environment. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, connected by a mass of neural fibers called the corpus callosum, which allows the left and right hemispheres of the brain to communicate with each other. Cook read a study while

The bicyclist collided with a vehicle making a left turn at the intersection, said Norman Police Sgt. Joel Formby, who responded to the incident. “(The vehicle) turned, and they collided as he was coming through the intersection,” Formby said. The first responders to the accident helped the bicyclist sit up and lean against the traffic control sign as they treated him. The victim was given a towel to hold against the left side of his face as he bled from several cuts. The bicyclist sat there for several minutes, visibly shaken from the incident, while responders took his blood pressure and asked him several questions about the accident. One EMS at the scene of the accident noted that the victim’s inquiries will likely require stitches.

Speaker enlightens students on truth of ancient Egyptians Professor presents at OU symposium Caitlin Schachter Campus Reporter
A misunderstood notion in the Western world is that everything started with Greek civilization, an African American Studies professor from Temple University told OU students on Thursday. Molefi Kete Asante said by the time “The Illiad” was written by Homer in 800 B.C., Africa had already gone through four golden ages. “If you start with Greek history, you start too late,” Asante said. “You don’t have
most of the world’s history.” Asante gave the keynote speech for OU’s “Celebrating Sankofa; Honoring Africa” symposium. Kelly Damphousse, interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, explained Sankofa means leaving a place but not forgetting where you’re from. In his lecture, Asante talked about tracing his roots back to Africa to find out where his ancestors came from. “Figuring out who you are is a fundamental issue for African Americans,” Asante said. “We come from one of the oldest societies on Earth.”
Asante dispelled some of common misconceptions about the history of Egypt, a nation he said is more monumental than Greece and Rome combined. “Europeans could not accept the fact that Egyptians were black people — they didn’t think they could build the pyramids,” Asante said. “Horatius said that ancient Egyptians weren’t black. He thought they were blackwhite people.” Nadine Pietzonka, a foreign exchange student and English and religious studies major, attended the lecture on Thursday. “I found it interesting that

Europeans tried to find excuses that the pyramids weren’t built by black people,” Pietzonka said. Asante explained that Arab people did not come to Egypt until 639 A.D., and the first major Arab city, Cairo, was not built until 640 A.D. Micah McGee, English and Arabic senior, attended the lecture and said he had always been taught that Egypt began with Arabic culture. “Since I’m an Arabic major I’ve been taught that Egypt started with Arabic culture, Jacqueline Eby/The Daily not African,” McGee said. “I Molefi Kete Asante addresses the crowd and gives the keynote didn’t know that it was start- speech during Celebrating Sankofa; Honoring Africa celebration ed by the Africans.” Thursday afternoon in Zarrow Hall.

study by surveying staff and faculty. Betsy Martens, OU-Tulsa professor of library and information studies, was the one who challenged Cook to test the effects of one labyrinth pattern over another, which is the third part of the research plan and has never been tested before, Cook said. Cook thinks the use of culturally-specific labyrinth patterns might evoke a sense of cultural identity in users. He said it might cause someone to engage in their culture in a
way they haven’t before. “Given the choice of labyrinths, would people gravitate toward a pattern that represents their culture?” Cook said. After finals week is over, Cook plans to take Sparq to the Schusterman Library on the OU-Tulsa campus where he will continue research to see if Sparq is a good fit for members of that academic community.

simply put, bullying is about exclusion while hazing is about inclusion. Not all hazing is bad. We don’t see the harm in events like scavenger hunts and wearing certain colors on certain days — those don’t hurt anybody. Instead of hazing being completely banned from campus organizations including sororities and fraternities, we suggest the university “hazing” to a certain extent, as long as it’s appropriate. We can build a new system and still maintain students’ safety from severe hazing. If a group wanted to hold a mandatory event for it’s pledges for example, the organization’s house president could propose the event to a form of higher authority to seek approval. Creating mandatory events helps create unity among the sorority or fraternity — that’s how it’s been for years. With an improved system, the greek houses’ new pledges can show their dedication to the organization without being bullied. On that note, members of organizations should not allow dangerous hazing activities and should speak up for those who are being hazed or bullied. Hazing doesn’t have to be what we see in movies — we can redefine it.

Sooners to tackle Iowa State in final home game of the season
OU signs one 3-star prospect, two 4-star recruits for 2014-15 season On just the second day of the early signing period, three new players formally joined the Oklahoma basketball program by signing their national letters of intent as announced by coach Lon Kruger. Dante Buford, Khadeem Lattin and Jamuni McNeace will join the team as freshmen at the beginning of the 2014-2015 season. "All three are really quality people who want to be Sooners," Kruger said in a press release. "They want to be here, they’re good students, rangy athletes and good teammates. They’re all similar with their qualities, and they fit perfectly in terms of what we’re looking for." The trio of signees all are listed at 6-foot-7 or taller and will have the opportunity to bolster the Sooner frontcourt. Both Buford and Lattin were tabbed as four-star recruits, while McNeace was a three-star prospect.

With Big 12 title hopes nearly impossible, an offense that has regressed over the course of the season and an injury situation that has devastated the squad, Oklahoma faces a difficult task. The No. 18 Sooners (7-2) have to get up — and get up early — to face an Iowa State team that occupies the conference cellar with Kansas. The toughest test for Oklahoma won’t necessarily be outmatching the Cyclones (1-8), but rather, overcoming the recent rough path the Sooners have limped through while at the same time not looking past Iowa State. Coach Bob Stoops’ squad ends the season with two tricky road games at Kansas State and Oklahoma State, but the Sooners recognize that this Saturday’s opponent is at the top of the priority list. “They play extremely hard for four quarters,” co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. “They’ve been on the wrong side of the scale for most of the year. They’ve played in some close games.” And while it’s clear OU is respecting the Cyclones, this weekend could provide the struggling Sooner offense with ample opportunities to boost its confidence as the season winds down. The Sooners only managed 237 yards of offense in

The point-producing attack Sooner Nation has become so accustomed to over recent years has been missing this season in Norman. And according to junior quarterback Blake Bell, a lack of consistency is the side’s main problem. "You have to keep working,” he said. “That's the only way to do it; just keep practicing and working with the wide receivers and the unit as a whole. Penalties and third downs, it just seemed like if it wasn't one thing, it was something else. We just have to be consistent." Both Bell and the coaching staff have preached getting the ball to OU’s top playmakers as the top priority. Senior Jalen Saunders may be the Sooners most targeted

Senior corner Aaron Colvin is also questionable to play against the Cyclones. OU has already lost two senior captains to injury this season, and after Monday’s practice, defensive

The game will begin at 11 a.m. with the senior class being honored before kickoff. The group of 18 seniors has had plenty of success wearing crimson and cream, and Saturday will mark their final game at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” senior lineman Austin Woods said. “I haven’t really realized it’s the last game but I will realize when my parents are out there with me and before the game and probably walking off for the last time; I will probably be very emotional.” Joe Mussatto Assistant Sports Editor

Following a two game stretch on the road where the Sooners failed to win either game, they returned to the comforts of home where they hosted the TCU Horned Frogs. While it wasn’t perfect, the Sooners played three great sets to sweep the Horned Frogs and collect their first win in the month of November. OU played excellent volleyball as a team. They were aggressive in the front-court and were disciplined on defense, which would prove to be the X-factor in the match, as they amassed 56 digs as a team. They also had 47 kills collectively as a team, with four players collecting 10 kills apiece. The Sooners seemed to have found their groove once again, which is a great sign, as they approach the final four games of the season. The Sooners, who are now 19-7 (7-5), will look to maintain the momentum gained from their win over TCU when they face the Baylor Bears, who are 12-16 (4-8), at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16 at McCasland Field House. Head coach Santiag o Restrepo sees the recent win as a building block toward a strong finish in their final four games. “Baylor is a very talented team,� Restrepo said. “If we approach that match with

the same amount of energy and intensity like we did against TCU, we should have a solid performance.� Senior middle blocker Sallie McLaurin appeared to be re-energized, along with the rest of her teammates. She led the front
court charge, recording 10 kills and three blocks, with some assistance from sophomore setter Julia Doyle, sophomore middle blocker Kierra Holst and senior outside hitter Keila Rodriguez. With Baylor next on the schedule, McLaurin is still stressing how important passing and serving can be when playing against good teams. “Serve and pass is key f o r u s r ig ht n ow ,� s a i d McLaurin. “We have to be aggressive with our serves and make sure that we are passing as many balls as we can get to Julia. (That) will be key next game.� Rodriguez has also been a key factor for the Sooners.
Her production on both offense and defense was key in the win over the Horned Frogs. As one of the seniors on a young team, she continued to preach the importance of staying motivated, even when the team is in a slump. “Before going into any match, I would just tell my teammates to use the previous losses as motivation to get a win,� Rodriguez said. “Baylor is a good team, but if we stay focused and play hard, we should do fine.� Demetrius Kearney dvkearney1@gmail.com

Traditions combine this weekend Dad’s Day and University Sing events will share the “Walk of Fame” theme Graham Dudley Life & Arts Reporter
This weekend marks the return of two time honored campus traditions, Dad’s Day and University Sing, this year united for the first time under a single theme, “Walk of Fame.” Dad’s Day will include an entire weekend full of activities for Sooners and their fathers with the Sooner football showdown against Iowa State as the highlight. University Sing will have performances at 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday. University Sing will feature performances based on cultural icons on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, according to the Campus Activities Council website. Ryan Carter, multidisciplinary studies senior and chair of this year’s University Sing, said the performances will include a tribute to the music of Queen and a Dr. Seuss inspired story. Carter has a long history with University Sing. “I started coming to shows when I was a fifth grader,” he said. “This is like my twelfth one to be a part of.”
However, it’s his first time to chair the event. Carter said the experience has been well worth the preparation and he’s looking forward to finally seeing the shows this weekend. “The participants have put in hours and hours of work and tons of creativity, so seeing that all come together is one of the biggest rewards,” Carter said. Accounting senior Taylor Wilson is equally eager to see Dad’s Day get started. He said his year in charge of the event has taken a lot of time and effort but has been “absolutely fulfilling.” “It’s inspired me to be a better leader,” Wilson said. Wilson said working with University Sing under a common theme was a great idea, and the two organizations support each other whenever possible. University Sing even gave Dad’s Day two free tickets to its Friday night show for the Dad’s Day Father of the Year, Wilson said. Wilson said the selection of the Father of the Year was a much more in-depth process this year than in

ac and cheese: a southern comfort food staple. There’s nothing better than warming your hands on a good cup of coffee in the early winter months, but a hot bowl of mac and cheese may be the next best thing. The great thing about this recipe is there hardly is one. If you ditched those measuring cups when you moved away for college, or simply, if your cooking skills can not be contained within the confines of 1/2 cups and teaspoons, this Kelly Rogers recipe is especially great. kelly.n.rogers-1@ou.edu Drawing on measurements and instructions from ‘5-minute Homemade Mac and Cheese,’ a recipe found on picky-palate.com, I decided to do some experimenting of my own and try it out. I must say, I’m a little skeptical of microwave recipes in general, as far as taste goes, but there’s no denying their convenience. If you’re a fan of the microwave as a fast alternative to the oven and a groundbreaking college staple for the exhausted student, well my friend, you’ve stumbled upon something great. That being said, you’ll still be using the stove, so don’t rule out all traditional cooking methods just yet. The first step to having restaurant worthy mac and cheese is to make those noodles the right way. Bring some water to a boil, and let them cook until they’re the perfect consistency for mac and cheese. Once you’ve got fresh pasta drained, it’s time to transform these boring, limp noodles into a real dish.

in the microwave for 20 seconds.
4.
Remove the bowl after 20 seconds, and stir it up. Be careful lifting the plastic wrap at first — this traps the steam and melts the cheese. It’s going to be hot. At this point, you may find that you want to add another small handful of cheese. Toss it in and stir.
5.
Pour cooked noodles into a microwave safe bowl, making sure not a lot of extra water ends up in the bottom of the bowl.
2.
After mixing thoroughly, put the plastic wrap back on the bowl as before, and cook in the microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
6.
Once the timer goes off, stir vigorously and you have yourself a bowl of tasty mac n’ cheese. Whether it’s bow tie or penne pasta, mozzarella or cheddar cheese, there is a lot of room for creativity with this recipe. Feel free to toss in your favorite veggies, seasonings or protein into the mix to spice things up.
Next, add a handful of shredded cheese, a splash of milk and salt and pepper to taste. This is where those measurements are completely up to you. I would suggest not letting the milk show above the rest of your ingredients, unless you want some sort of mac and cheese soup. Kelly Rogers is a journalism sophomore.

Once you’ve got all of these ingredients in the bowl, loosely cover the top with plastic cooking wrap, and place

DEDICATION Headington Hall 8:30 a.m.
Saturday, November 16 Ty T. Hartwig Family Courtyard Headington Hall 100 E. Lindsey St. In the event of inclement weather the dedication will be in the Q’s Commons Formal Living Room located on the first floor of Headington Hall.
Headington Hall is named to honor OU alumnus and tennis letterman Tim Headington, who gave the $10 million lead gift for the residence hall. Headington earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from OU, and went on to earn graduate degrees in theology and psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. He was also recognized in 2011 with OU’s highest award, the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. He is president and founder of the Dallas-headquartered Headington Resources Inc., an independent exploration and production operator in south Texas. He is also co-founder of the nonprofit Headington Institute, headquartered in Pasadena, Calif., the mission of which is to care for caregivers worldwide by determining the best ways to promote the physical hardiness, emotional resilience and spiritual vitality of humanitarian relief and development personnel. Headington currently serves on the OU Athletics Director’s Executive Advisory Council and in 2005 he was honored with the OU Regents’ Alumni Award. Thanks to his generous gift, the 230,000 square-foot, five-story housing center is home to approximately 380 OU students and student-athletes. It includes central dining, computer labs, study rooms, a theater and a faculty-in-residence unit.
