Police reveal steady records Alcohol related events unaffected by games JESSE POUND news editor @jesserpound

Game days at OU bring an influx of celebratory people and their drinks of choice, but this has no effect on how many alcohol related incidents OUPD deals with on a given Saturday. Police records from the 2014 season of all Saturdays between Aug. 1, 2014, and Nov. 30, 2014, a time period encompassing five OU home games, showed that whether or not there was a home game had no effect on the number of alcohol related incidents. The highest amount of alcohol related incidents for a game day was Sep. 13, 2014, when Tennessee came to town. However, there were just five incidents on this date, the same amount as Oct. 25, 2014, when OU had a bye week. There was not a single alcohol related incident on Nov. 8, 2014, when the Sooners hosted Baylor. The pattern has held this year. There were three incidents on Sept. 5 for the game against Akron, one for the Sep. 19 game against Tulsa and one for the Oct. 3 game against West Virginia. OUPD gets assistance from a number of other agencies on game days, but all the reports generated would come from an OUPD officer, said OUPD Major Bruce Chan. When asked if police officers are more likely to overlook a publicly intoxicated person in the hectic game day environment, Chan was non-committal. “I wouldn’t say yes or no to that (question),” Chan said. “The likelihood of getting a public intox on game day is probably more related to what the officer is presented with.”

Junior quarterback Baker Mayfield dodges Baylor defenders at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas on Saturday. Mayfield’s pass to fullback Dimitri Flowers helped toss his name into the Heisman Trophy conversation.

MAYFIELDʼS MOMENT BAKERʼS PERFORMANCE LANDS HIM FIRMLY ON THE HEISMAN RADAR

BRADY VARDEMAN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR • @BRADYVARDEMAN WACO, Texas — With 4:58 left in the fourth quarter, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield took the snap from the shotgun on third down and goal. The Sooners, up 37-34 and again threatening on the Baylor 7-yard line, were looking to put a nail in the coffin of a cold and rainy night in Waco, Texas. Mayfield dropped back and looked for an open receiver. One, two, three… His darting eyes saw nothing acceptable, so he momentarily tucked the ball, looking to run.

Four, five… Just yards ahead of Mayfield a Baylor defender hurtled toward him. Running was no longer an option, so he dropped back once more.

NEWS Girl Up aids education Leaders visited OU to raise funds to be distributed by UN MARY SMITH

news reporter @marysmitty21

A new organization focused on raising money for disadvantaged girls across the globe recently interviewed students for leadership positions. Leaders of Girl Up, an organization that is part of the United Nations Foundations’ adolescent girl campaign, according its website, have brought the movement to OU for the first time after being a part of it in high school, Guadalupe Garcia, a sophomore and president of Girl Up, said. Garcia was very active in Girl Up in high school and wanted to see that her experience with it continued on into college, she said. The group’s goal at OU is to raise funds, which it will donate to the United Nations,

who will then distribute the funds evenly throughout its programs in several countries, including a country in Central America, India, the Middle East and three countries in Africa, Garcia said. The organization aims to “help the hardest to reach girls living in places where it is hardest to be a girl,” according to the organization’s website. Girl Up’s goal to provide girls with resources in areas where they lack sufficient resources attracted Garcia, because she has experienced women’s inequality firsthand. She was born in Mexico and lived there until she was eight, and in that time she saw how the standards of her community put women in an unequal position. It is typical for girls to not attend high school and get married and start a family at an early age, Garcia said. “When I got here I just saw what support girls were getting. I saw that they were being encouraged to do as much as they could to pursue

a higher goal than the one that they already had,” Garcia said. When she was older, she also realized that her aunt was physically abused by her uncle, since that was more socially acceptable in Mexico. These experiences have made Garcia passionate about spreading education. “[She] definitely [thinks] educating people on human equality … can help both girls and guys,” she said. Sophomore Lucero Peralta, the organization’s vice president, came from Mexico and, after visiting, shares similar ideas with Garcia. She saw how much the ideals for women differed in the United States and in Mexico when it came to education, and she said she’s grateful that her father wanted more for her and moved their family to Oklahoma. She is now the first person in her family to attend college. “I feel like having an education is one step closer to equality … I think if a woman

is more educated, then she will have more power,” Peralta said. So far Girl Up’s leaders have focused on the logistics of starting a new organization on campus and garnering members and those interested in other leadership positions. Its goal for this year is to gain awareness and get their name out so they can have more support, Peralta said. One of the groups long term goals is to put on a powder puff football tournament, Peralta said. Despite Girl Up’s name, males are welcome as well, said sophomore Sydney Mills, the group’s treasurer. She said the most important quality they’ve looked for in members is a passion for Girl Up. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve been involved in nothing or involved in 20 things, what we looked for most was passion,” Mills said.

Shooter sent to OU Medical Man threatened to shoot nearby people on Classen ANDREW CLARK

assistant news managing editor @ClarkyTweets

O ne person has been transported to OU Medical Center with at least one gunshot wound after an officer-involved shooting in

Norman on Sunday evening. The Norman Police Department was called just after 5 p.m. on reports that a man was making threats to shoot people near the 1700 block of Classen Boulevard, said NPD public safety information officer Sarah Jensen. The man was inside of a home and went outside when he made contact with officers, Jensen said. Shots were then fired upon contact, harming the individual.

It is unclear at this point if the individual fired shots at the officers before officers fired at him, Jensen said. Jensen said it is not clear if the individual had a previous criminal record or how many wounds he suffered. The police department is also not releasing any information about the individual at this point, she said. No officers were harmed in the incident. Saturday morning, one person was shot multiple

times on Campus Corner in Norman and was transported to a hospital, where the individual is in stable condition as of 4 p.m. Sunday. Jensen said the incident Sunday and the incident on Campus Corner Saturday do not appear to be related. Andrew Clark andrew.clarkou@gmail.com

An image of a trash can overflowing with garbage, including alcoholic drinks. Police records from 2014 show that a home game had no effect on how many alcohol related incidents occurred on campus.

INTOX: Continued from Page One

“We handle alcohol related cases on game day on a case by case basis, and we take the action that’s appropriate for each of those,” Chan said. Even if there is obviously more drinking on campus during game days, the tailgating scene does not violate the university’s alcohol policy. OU President David Boren made OU a dr y campus in December 2004 in response to the death of a fraternity member from alcohol poisoning that September. OU’s alcohol policy actually only applies to dorms and

campus housing, including fraternity and sorority houses, according to the OU student handbook. This is how the garbage cans piled high with beer cans after a game don’t violate the “dry campus” rules. The lack of enforcement regarding alcohol is nothing new for tailgaters. Tony Fuselier of Tulsa said he was not even aware that there was a “dry campus” rule for the University. He said he’s been tailgating behind Copeland Hall for 10-15 years and been coming to OU games for 35 years. He said nobody has ever bothered him about his drinking. Jesse Pound jesserpound@gmail.com

Vigil to be held by Seed Sower Organizers hope that gathering will allow conversation PAGE JONES

news managing editor @pageousm

A vigil will be held for the victims of the tragic attacks in Paris at 9 a.m. today by the Seed Sower statue on the South Oval. Later, there will be a candlelight vigil at 5:30 p.m. in the same place, said Emmanuelle Chiocca, the organizer of the event. The event is meant to show support for the victims in Paris, but also to show that they will not blame people for the attacks who do not deserve it, Chiocca said. “I saw on the Internet a lot of really disgusting comments, and I hope that we can fight that together,”

Chiocca said. The goal of the event is to gather enough people to be able to engage in conversation about the events in Paris, Chiocca said. “I hope we can talk, we can educate each other, we can discuss, so that we do not draw conclusions very easily,” Chiocca said. Chiocca is from France and has been attending OU for three years. But while she is not from Paris, she said she still feels the pain from her home. “Most of my friends are in Paris, and before I came to OU, I spent about a year and a half in Paris,” Chiocca said. The death toll of the attacks is currently at 129, with more than 300 others injured. MARKUS SCHREIBER/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Holocaust foundation honors Paris victims Signatures will be sent to Paris in show of solidarity ANDREW CLARK

assistant news managing editor @Clarky_Tweets

The Holocaust Remembrance and Restitution Foundation, Inc. will host a candlelight vigil and memorial service tomorrow in Oklahoma City to honor victims of the recent terror attacks in Paris. The services will be held at 1:30 p.m. at the Oklahoma City National Memorial courtyard and Survivor Tree. “( The memor ial) was the most logical of sites to be chosen (for the vigil),”

said Eric Sundby, the presi d e nt o f t h e Ho l o c au s t Remembrance and Restitution Society at OU. “It was the site of a terrorist attack itself.” More than 120 people were killed after terrorists from ISIS coordinated attacks on six locations throughout the French city. French President Francois Hollande has called the attacks an “act of war.” According to a release from the foundation, the service will include “members of national, state, and local governments, religious communities and cultural community leaders, as well as educational leaders from across the state.” These guests will include Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin and Grant Moak, the

French Honorary Consul in Oklahoma City. “What I truly do hope for Paris is they remain steadfast, they hold their heads high, they pick themselves up and they brush themselves off ... and move forward,” Sundby said. “I truly hope that they find, and we help them find, whoever did this soon.” At t e n d e e s may ap p l y their signatures to a sign that will be sent to France to show solidarity, according to the release. A candlelight vigil, moments of silence and prayer and speeches will also be carried out at the event. MATT DUNHAM/ASSOCIATED PRESS

French President Francois Hollande said more than 120 people died Friday night in shootings at Paris cafes, suicide bombings near France’s national stadium and a hostage-taking slaughter inside a concert hall.

Attack terrorizes Paris, leaves many injured Seven attackers employed guns and explosive vests ASSOCIATED PRESS

PA R I S — T h e a t t a c kers worked in three synchronized teams, wearing matching suicide vests and carrying the same weapons. In an excruciating half-hour, they unleashed their terror. One suicide bombing after another at the national stadium, sprays of gunfire in the crowded restaurants and streets of central Paris, and finally a hostage standoff that drenched a 19th-century dance hall with the blood of dozens of young people out for a night of rock music. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said three suicide attackers died near the stadium, three in the concert hall, and one further south on the same boulevard. Here is how it happened, based on accounts from French authorities and witnesses. 9 p.m. Kickoff of the FranceGermany soccer match at the French national stadium and the beginning of the rock show at the Bataclan concert hall. Both packed with fans, the match includes French President Francois Hollande among spectators. In the audience at the Eagles of Death Metal show is the sister of French striker Antoine Griezmann, who started in Friday night’s game. 9:20 p.m. A man with a Syrian passport and an explosives vest blows himself up at Gate D of the stadium, killing himself and a bystander. The match continues. 9:25 p.m. Gunmen in a black rente d S eat L e on op en fire on a bar and a restaurant — Le Carillon and Petit Cambodge — killing 15

people and leaving more than 100 shell casings of different calibers, including 7.62 mm, strewn at the scene. When the shooting starts, Emilio Macchia, an Italian book designer visiting for a publishing fair, starts to run from the Carillon. “A girl opened the door to her building and let us in. We hid inside with 10 or 15 other people. I still remember one girl, she said she’d seen one huge man shooting. That’s when I realized it was a terror attack.” 9:30 p.m. A second suicide bomber approaches Gate H of the stadium, blowing himself up but claiming no other victims. 9:32 p.m. Gunmen in a rented Seat Leon open fire on a La Bonne Biere bar on La Fontaine au Roi street, just around the corner from the restaurant shootings. Five people are killed. About a hundred shells are left on the ground of different caliber, including again 7.62 mm. 9:36 p.m. Hollande press es the cell phone to his ear inside the glass-lined booth

overlooking the soccer field, absorbing the horror tearing into the French capital for the second time this year. The digital clock above him ticks away the seconds in red: 21:36:49. Just then, gunmen in a b l a ck S e at ca r att a ck Charonne street, killing 19 people. Sebastien Jagreau, a witness who arrives shortly afterward, says the bodies of the dead and wounded were sprawled on tables and the ground. “We saw a lady on the first table. I thought she had bump and then we realized it was a bullet in her head and not a bump. She was stretched on the table with her beer next to her. Then I see a guy crying because his wife was dead. Then we go on and we realize we are in the middle of a pond of blood.” Again, about 100 shell casings are left on the ground, including 7.62 mm. 9:40 p.m. A black Volkswagen Polo parks outside the Bataclan concert hall on Boulevard Voltaire, and three people emerge, opening fire as they enter the packed venue. Eagles of Death

Metal is several songs into their show and playing to a full house. The attackers enter, apparently unnoticed over the loud music, armed

with automatic weapons, their bodies wired with explosives. Among the hostage-takers is a Frenchman, one week shy of his 30th birthday, convicted eight times between 2004 and 2010 for minor crimes and flagged for ties to Islamic radicals. In a brief communication with security forces, the hostage-takers invoke Syria and Iraq. As the attackers repeatedly fire on the audience, people escape from side doors of the venue, some dragging bodies with them. One woman clings to a second-story window, trying to get out of the line of fire. Among those to escape is Griezmann’s sister. At that moment, a suicide bomber detonates his vest further down Boulevard Voltaire. The bomber is the only victim. 9:53 p.m. A suicide attacker about 400 meters (yards) from the

stadium detonates his vest, identical to those of the others with TATP explosives. No one else is killed. 12:20 a.m. Security forces storm the Bataclan. Two of the attackers detonate their suicide vests; a third is shot by law enforcement and the vest explodes. Eighty-nine people are found dead, and many critically injured. Philippe Juvin, an emergency room doctor at the Georges Pompidou hospital, said he has never had to care for so many victims at once. “The majority were gunshot wounds inflicted with weapons of war, of high caliber, in the thorax, the abdomen, their legs and arms. Also, the psychological trauma. The people that witness these kinds of events are deeply affected, even if some may not be physically injured, it hurts their soul. That is why we had a psychiatrist with us.”

Hayes lights up campus CLASSIFIEDS Jessica Barber jessiedylan16@gmail.com @JessicaDylan16

Hunter Hayes lit up the Lloyd Noble Center Saturday night, showcasing wide ranging instrumental and vocal chops in his two-hour set of high-energy country rock. On a stage flooded with spotlights, Hayes shone bright, capturing the audience with his contagious charisma and vibrant performance. From the moment Hayes took the stage with his opening song, “Tattoo,� it became clear he is a force to be reckoned with. Dynamic and personable, Hayes immediately connected with the crowd, making the show seem less like a basketball stadium filled with college students, middle-age parents and young families and more like an intimate performance for each individual audience member. The multi-instrumentalist’s passion for music and love for his fans was readily apparent, as every onstage moment was devoted to singing, playing the guitar,

piano or mandolin and engaging the crowd. Hayes established an ongoing dialogue with the boisterous crowd, playfully joking and at one point even leading them in a chant of “Boomer Sooner.� He declined to add “Texas Sucks,� but the loud Lloyd Noble crowd said it for him. Later in the show, Hayes pointed out the birthday sign of a fan that had just turned “21,� which also happens to be the title of his new single and EP. Hayes came off more like a longtime friend than a five-time Grammy nominee, never more so than when, about an hour into his set, he stopped in the middle of his song “Flashlight� to help a girl who was standing in the very front row that appeared to have passed out. He pointed to the girl to get aid from the local crew and handed her a water bottle from the stage. As soon as the situation was resolved, Hunter picked right back up where he left off. The crowd responded by turning on the flashlights on their phone, making the song’s lyrics a reality. Seeing an artist be a person and not a performer is rare, but Hayes was kind, professional and humble, thanking the local crew for how great they were and the audience for coming even though the Baylor game was going on.

Hunter Hayes sings and plays guitar in the Lloyd Noble Center. Saturday night’s concert began at 8 p.m. and featured Ryan Lafferty as the opening performer.

Most of all, Hayes is a great performer and musician. The arrangements for his most popular songs stayed true to the radio edits, throwing in blazing guitar solos and fiery instrumental breaks. A musical prodigy as a child, the 24-year-old Hayes is already recognized in the music industry as one of the finest guitar players and all-around musicians in the business. He continued to prove his talent throughout the night, his vocals strong and his knack for knowing how to arrange songs and how to play each instrument even stronger. Towards the end of his set, Hayes sat down at a piano to play both “Invisible� and “Wanted,� the two songs pulling at audience heartstrings with all eyes on

Hayes. Hayes then picked things back up with “21,� a cover of Walk the Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance,� his hit “I Want Crazy� and an encore of “Love Makes Me� from his first album. The crowd was dancing, screaming lyrics and having the best time, feeling like old friends with Hunter Hayes. Nashville-based singer/ songwriter Ryan Lafferty opened the show to a warm audience reception for his songs and a few cover tunes like Taylor Swift and Kendr ick Lamar ’s “Bad Bl o o d ( Re m i x ) � a n d R . Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix).� Like Hayes, Lafferty also established a connection between artist and audience that lasted throughout his set.

Two albums battle for sales A&E REPORTER

Allison Weintraub allison.weintraub@ou.edu @AllieFrances12

This week features a battle between two artists, One Direction and Justin Bieber, whose core fanbases are young women and both dropped albums last Friday. However, there are several important differences

between the two artists and their new albums. “Made in the A.M.� marks One Direction’s last album before an indefinite break. The break comes after a drama-filled year for members Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles. Some highlights include going from five members to four with the departure of Zayn Malik and the announcement that Tomlinson is going to be a dad. Justin Bieber, by contrast, is releasing his first studio album after a three-year break. He has hardly stayed

out of the spotlight in those years, having a string of runins with the law, erratic public behavior and, most notably, his increasingly rude behavior to his fans. These two artists are as prominent as they are thanks to passionate fanbases, and alienating those fans is a risk Bieber can’t afford to take at this point in his career. These albums tell a classic story: the comeback kid going toe-to-toe with the veterans who are about to retire. The two artists have both been pursuing the top album sales. Bieber is touring with

the album, hosted an event in LA that included a viewing of a short film, “Purpose: The Movement� on the release day of the album and has a partnership with Ellen DeGeneres, who will have exclusive pre-sale tour tickets on her website starting today. DeGeneres also featured Bieber on her popular daytime show in a so-called “Bieber Week�.

Shepard, Sooners shine Saturday Oklahoma finds a positive spin in last month’s Texas loss

STERLING SHEPARD

catches Shepard hauled in Saturday. His 61 receptions this season are a career high.

SPENSER DAVIS sports reporter @Davis_Spenser

WACO, Texas — No. 12 Oklahoma defeated No. 6 Baylor 44-34 on the road in Waco Saturday, ending the Bears’ 20-game home winning streak and propelling the Sooners back into the national title hunt. After losing to Baylor in three of the past four seasons, Oklahoma couldn’t leave Waco without a win if it wanted to keep its conference and national title hopes alive. Likewise, the Bears were in need of a statement win over a one-loss Sooners squad. The stage was set. The atmosphere was electric. The stakes were high. And the Sooners came through. Oklahoma needed 511 ya rd s o f o f f e n s e, t h re e turnovers and a Heismancampaign-launching day from Baker Mayfield to get it done. It didn’t look good early. OU was forced to punt without getting a first down on its opening drive. Baylor took the ball and drove it down the Sooners’ throat. Nine plays and 80 yards — and a botched extra point — later, the Bears had OU on its heels and a 6-0 lead. OU responded by driving down the field and grabbing a 7-6 lead courtesy of Samaje Perine. After trading punts with Baylor, the Sooners were in need of a big play. With a little more than nine minutes left in the second quarter, they got it with the latest career defining moment for Sterling Shepard. “That was something we saw on film,” Shepard said. “We knew the safety was going to play down a little bit and he gave us the right look and I felt like I could go by him.” All 11 Baylor defenders were within seven yards of the line of scrimmage when Mayfield took the snap. Shepard ran five yards down the field, stopped momentarily, then raced past his man. In a move Shepard would later refer to as “bad ball

career catches for the senior receiver. Shepard moved past Juaquin Iglesias and Kenny Stills for third on the all-time OU receptions list.

SCOTT HINEY/THE DAILY

Senior wide receiver Sterling Shepard dives for the pylon on Saturday against Baylor at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas. Shepard propelled the Sooners to a 44-34 win with 14 catches and two touchdowns.

security”, he reached the ball out over the pylon and glided on the wet turf at McLane S t a d i u m . To u c h d o w n Oklahoma. “He makes plays, man,” senior center Ty Darlington said of the star wide receiver. “If he didn’t say a word off the field, he wouldn’t have to because he goes out there and does it with his play. And he makes play after play throughout every game.” “When we need a big play, he makes it,” Darlington said. Shepard wasn’t done. He caught another touchdown pass — just one more of his 14 receptions on the night — on a third-and-goal play to put the Sooners up 27-20 in the third quarter. That catch tied him with Kenny Stills for the thirdmost receptions in Sooners history. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was taken aback after the game when he read Shepard’s full stat line: 14 receptions, 177 yards and two touchdowns. Still, Shepard’s big day could be a blip on the radar of an Oklahoma season that looks like it has potential to extend into January. It’s arguably the Sooners’ biggest win since the 2013 Sugar

Bowl — coincidentally, the last time OU was an underdog before this battle with the Bears. But until Ahmad Thomas sealed it with an interception with about four minutes remaining, Oklahoma’s victory was anything but secure. The Sooners entered the second half with a 20-13 advantage and a chip still placed firmly on their shoulder. “The leaders, we stepped up and said ‘this second half better be our half,’” defensive end Charles Tapper said. “We worked so hard all season for that half right there.” Tapper spoke like a man relieved to be on the winning side of things after losing five games a season ago and to unranked Texas earlier this year. “All the bad things that happen to us stay on my mind,” he said. “The Texas game, the 8-5 season, losing to Baylor, losing to TCU. All those games stick in my head.” It was a complete win for the Sooners, something that had been missing over a quality opponent for some time. And not so long ago, it’s a win that didn’t seem to be possible. “ T h a t Te x a s l o s s

Seven, eight… Flowers hauled in the pass and immediately ran to tight end Mark Andrews to celebrate. After eight seconds of pure insanity, Oklahoma (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) had created a little breathing room for itself. “I had (Sterling Shepard) on the right side running a corner route, and then Mark was doing a route that I gave him,” Mayfield said. “Dimitri wasn’t in the pass originally, he was in protection.” Mayfield finished the night 24-of-34 for 270 yards a n d t h re e t o u c h d o w n s against the No. 2 passing defense in the Big 12. In its previous eight games, Baylor (8-1, 5-1) allowed 6.7 yards per completion. Mayfield averaged 11.3 Saturday. With a performance like that in primetime on national television, the junior threw his name into the ring for the Heisman Trophy. “ That’s what I said to ESPN after the game,” wide receiver Sterling Shepard said. “If he’s not in the Heisman talk, something’s wrong here. I’m always going to ride with my boy.” Shepard finished with 14 catches for 177 yards and two touchdowns, all team-highs. Even Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who generally avoids concerning himself with midseason hype, agreed Mayfield should be in the running for college football’s top award. “I don’t know how he wouldn’t,” Stoops said. “I think it’s time for that.” The plays that have earned Mayfield his Heisman hype have by and large involved him throwing on the run. While each scramble is unpredictable,

Shepard said the receivers work on getting themselves into better position during practice. “Because having a quarterback like Baker, you ne ver know where he’s going to be,” Shepard said. “So you’ve got to constantly be checking back there and seeing where he is.”

“If he’s not in the Heisman talk, something’s wrong here.” STERLING SHEPARD, WIDE RECEIVER

O k l a h o m a l i n e b a c ker Eric Striker watched Mayfield’s performance Saturday from the sideline. On the stat sheet, Mayfield’s two-yard scramble on third down and 27 in the first SCOTT HINEY/THE DAILY quarter didn’t look impressive. What Striker saw, how- Baker Mayfield talks to a reporter following Oklahoma’s 44-34 win over Baylor at McLane Stadium on Saturday. Mayfield threw for three touchdowns and ran for a fourth in the win. ever, was much different. “Did you see the play where he broke all those tackles?” Striker said. “I don’t think he got much of a gain, but geez. You rarely see that. You see different things from great quarterbacks, but that was a little something different.” While the world watches him dance in the backfield, miraculously pulling touchdowns and two-yard gains alike out of thin air, Mayfield is along for the ride just like anyone else. Not even he knows what’s coming next. “Not at all,” he said. “I’m just out there playing back yard football at that point, and that’s something I take This scholarship competition is open to ALL University of Oklahoma pride in.”
