Students Against a Factory-Farming Economy are pairing up with the national nonprofit organization Real Food Challenge to ask OU Housing and Food to implement a “real food calculator” to determine what percentage of “real food” OU purchases. The calculator will evaluate how much of OU’s food is either grown or produced locally, fairly, sustainably or humanely.

Hannah Kindle, University College freshman, has her name written in Bangla at the Scripts of World Writing Booth in Oklahoma Memorial Union Monday afternoon.

A student organization is working with OU Housing and Food Services to measure what percentage of food served in the Couch Cafeteria is produced locally, fairly, sustainably and humanely.

Members of OU’s Students Against a Factory-Farming Economy are collaborating with Real Food Challenge, a national nonprofit organization, to encourage OU to implement a “real food” calculator.

“Real Food” is any food that is either grown or produced locally, fairly, sustainable or humanely, said Bridget Burns, international and area studies senior and president of Students Against a Factory-Farming Economy.

Members of the organization would use the calculator to evaluate the inventories of food purchased by OU and determine whether it meets the criteria for “real food,” Burns said.

Students’ names were written in scripts from around the world at the inaugural event of OU’s International Education Week on Monday.

About 20 international students wrote students’ names and other phrases in their native languages at the Script Writers of the World event

in Oklahoma Memorial Union to inform Sooners about unfamiliar cultures and languages.

Manabendra Saharia, meteorology graduate student, was at the event, writing students’ names in his native language of Assamese, which is spoken by more than 13 million people in the Assam province in northeastern India, he said.

“When it comes to more popular languages like Arabic, people have heard of them. But for smaller languages, this is a way to expose people

to them,” Saharia said. “Maybe they’ll Google it when they go home. Maybe they’ll want to study there.”

International Education Week is a nationwide effort for universities to encourage cultural diversity and understanding, said Tasha Overpeck, international and area studies senior.

The week’s events also are meant to encourage students to study abroad.

according to Child Welfare Information Gateway.

While the intensity of child abuse varies, online child pornography falls in that abusive category.

For those abusers who post graphic material online, the material will be out there permanently and, if not quickly blocked or removed, will remain out there forever.

This is why Microsoft and Google’s precautions are a good thing; we need to protect children’s reputation and prevent them from these traumatizing circumstances.

It’s also important to note the difference between child porn and adult porn. Much of adult online sexual content is posted and shared by choice. Children, on the other hand, are not legally allowed to give consent. Law enforcement agencies do what they can to deter child sex abuse, but with so much online activity since the evolution of the Internet, a big portion of that responsibility now falls on the shoulders of Internet companies.

These online changes will have a global impact because Google will block child sex abuse searches in more than 150 languages around the world.

We’d be naive to think pedophiles will not find new ways to share their pornographic images, but blocking child sex abuse searches is an sound attempt to decrease the injustice of online child abuse.

Feminism does not represent the word’s negative connotation

Gov. Chris Christie speaks at a town hall in March 2011.

Christie doesn’t have a chance in 2016

O

n November 6, Opinion Columnist Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie won reelection by a landslide, gaining 60 percent of the vote. Since the beginning of the race, he led his opponent by nearly 30 points. He carried the maJohn Black jority of nearly all age groups johnblack@ou.edu as well as Hispanics and women, despite his opponent being a woman.

This is the sort of coalition national Republicans can only dream of forming. This accomplishment is remarkable considering that only one year ago, President Barack Obama won New Jersey with 58 percent of the vote. These numbers are the result of four-years-worth of aggressive, competent and tempered coalition politics.

If Christie runs in 2016, he will win and be an effective president. That is, if the Republicans nominate him.

Christie boasts he balanced the New Jersey budget every year he has been in office. This is true, but it isn’t the biggest accomplishment considering his government is constitutionally required to do so. However, the fact that he did it by reforming the ballooning state pension obligations and not by any significant tax increase is an accomplishment. His administration also took on New Jersey’s powerful teacher unions to strengthen tenure requirements, and it signed legislation to cap the rate at which property taxes may be increased.

What secured his reelection was Hurricane Sandy. One year ago, days before the 2012 election, the governor abandoned the election to tour the state with Obama, and lashed out at anyone who called him out on it, citing his responsibility to New Jersey over any sort of obligation to not do anything that may help the president’s image.

In December, when House Republicans refused to appropriate relief funds, he declared that “New York deserves better than the selfishness we displayed last night; New Jersey deserves better than the duplicity we saw last night,” he said.

“There’s only one group to blame for the continued suffering: The House majority and their speaker, John Boehner.”

Speaker Boehner acquiesced shortly afterward, passing the bill with Democrats and a minority of Republicans.

This initiative to defy the party platform where it is wrong defines his term as governor. He did not appeal the New Jersey Supreme Court’s decision to allow gay marriages and signed legislation that banned gay conversion therapy. He supports strong restrictions on guns, supports the sort of comprehensive immigration reform passed by the Senate earlier this year and strongly criticized the Islamophobia present in groups like the Tea Party, calling them ignorant as he defended his nomination of the first Muslim-American to the New Jersey Supreme Court.

He is one of the few remaining Roosevelt Republicans in a field of extremist, far-right Republicans that dominate Congress. He shows the ability to run a competent coalition government, even among a legislature with a majority of Democrats. That isn’t because he himself is a Democrat in disguise, but because he is a natural governor, leader and dealmaker. His blunt personality dominates the room and his belief in his cause of a sensible fiscal policy and a government conducive to business success makes him a natural leader.

“Let me give the answer to everyone who is watching tonight: Under this government our first job is to get the job done and as long as I’m governor that job will always, always be finished,” he said on election night. That is a message that Americans are receptive to in this age of total dysfunction in Congress. Given his success in New Jersey, one might have confidence in his promise.

But to become president he must first be nominated to run. He won’t be. 2012 showed the Republican nomination a circus-like race to the right, with each candidate trying to be more outrageous than the other in his positions.

Governor Christie won’t play that game, and his record certainly couldn’t back up any swing to the right.

After the 2012 election, Republican insiders promised a tempered primary, and a reformed Republican party. That party shut down the government on a moribund quest to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. America will lose the chance of having a great president.

eminism is “the Opinion Columnist belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities,” according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary. So why do people feel the need to say, “I’m not a Darian Storms feminist, but…” when havdarianstorms@gmail.com ing conversations about sexism in the work place, equal pay, and abortion, etc.?

When most people think of a feminist, they picture bra burning, hairy, angry women with picket signs in protest of some sexist piece of legislation. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I think that it’s important to understand what being a feminist means in this day and age — and how everyone (unless you’re a misogynist) is, in fact, a feminist.

To be a feminist, you only need to believe one thing; women are people and deserve to make choices for themselves. That’s it.

No need to riot in the streets in the name of equality. No need to refrain from shaving your legs, wearing makeup or having kids and a husband. You don’t have to be a lesbian to be a feminist either. Hell, you don’t even have to be a woman to be a feminist!

Men or any other gender identity can be feminists just as well as women. Doctors, teachers, lawyers, people of all races and ethnicities and sexualities… literally anyone can be a feminist.

But the question remains — why is feminist still seen as a bad word?

My theory may seem a little extreme, but hear me out.

The people in power — mainly men — intentionally portray the feminist movement as something too extreme and outrageous for the general public, as though it’s something dangerous. It’s not a threat to society. The revolutionary notion that women deserve to be paid the same as men, deserve to make choices for themselves and their own bodies, and deserve to be represented fairly is not, by any means, too extreme.

It’s true that in most ways, things are better for women today than they were 50 or 60 years ago. But in some ways, things are worse. Women are constantly sexualized and objectified today, in all walks of life. From Megan Fox’s character in Transformers only existing so that straight men will have something to look at, to Hillary Clinton being asked about her choice of clothing instead of her position on a pressing economic issue. Sexism is everywhere, which is why being a feminist is so important right now.

So the next time you find yourself saying, or hear someone say, “I’m not a feminist, but…” stop and think about it.

Feminism really is for everyone.

SGA committee to discuss new scholarship solutions

OU has been ranked No. 6 out of 25 universities based on its affordability, academic quality and accessibility by CollegeAtlas.org, a college polling and statistics website.

The ranking system judges school on three main criteria: academic quality, economic value and high admission rate, said College Atlas’ Jani Crawley in an email.

Universities like Yale, Princeton and Harvard that typically top college lists have low admission rates every year and, therefore, were not included near the top with OU on the “A-List,�

Crawley said.

Crawley said compiling the A-List started with every school in the country that was examined by U.S. News’ ranking list. “The schools were then run through a complex algorithm that took into account academic quality, acceptance rate, full tuition and enrollment sizes,�

Crawley said.

The completed A-List is comprised of 100 schools with OU ranking No. 6, Crawley said.

The full list of A-List schools will be available Tuesday on collegeatlas.org.

An OU Student Government Association committee will meet on Wednesday to discuss how to offer more scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students.

The Joint Committee for Scholarship Expansion, led by international security studies junior Lester Asamoah, is looking to devise new and practical methods of expanding the reach of OU’s scholarship programs.

Asamoah said, since it is SGA’s job to advocate for all students, members of student government have a duty to try to help incoming students as much as possible. “I think (SGA President Ernest) Ezeugo said it best last meeting,� Asamoah said. “‘A lot of people are on the fence about coming to OU. A lot of students need a little push.’ That’s what we hope to do here.�

Once the committee has finished its proposals, it will take the results to the state legislature for review, Asamoah said.

The committee’s current proposals rely significantly on university endowments. “We also want to know if there is extra money left over after scholarships have gone out,� Asamoah said. “And if so, can that money be used to help new students?

Which scholarships are claimed the most?

Which ones don’t get claimed? These are things we need to know in order to help students.�

The meeting will be held at 9:30 p.m.

Wednesday in the Conoco Student Leadership wing of the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

Young defense comes through for Oklahoma

Knight, Thompson are replacement ready quarterbacks

C

oach Bob Stoops SPORTS EDITOR won’t announce a starting quarterback before Saturday’s game against Kansas State. There will be no news on the status of junior quarterback Blake Bell’s head injury, either.

Julia Nelson It doesn’t really matter, julia.nelson@ou.edu though. Bell won’t play on Saturday, not after the success Trevor Knight and Kendal Thompson had on the field against Iowa State.

Knight came into the game early in the second quarter and ran the Sooner offense for most of the game. He looked like a different quarterback than the one who started the season. The read-option opened up the run game and gave a jolt of energy to the slugglish offense.

The pass game lagged, but with over 400 yards gained on the ground, it didn’t matter.

Knight’s improvement might have surprised a few, but Thompson’s success was really the story of the game. Specifically, his 44-yard pass to senior receiver LaColton Bester in the fourth quarter.

The deep ball has eluded the Sooner offense for most of the season, but Thompson was able to launch the bullet on his first drive in game-time. He’s the TREVOR spark the Sooner offense needs moving KNIGHT forward.

The film from the single drive he led will be analyzed and scrutinized until the next time he steps on the field. We haven’t seen much from him, but so far, he looks impressive.

Despite Thompson’s limited success, I doubt he will get the start against Kansas State. The job has been Knight’s all along, even with the Bell detour, and coaches believe he is on the right track to display his practice habits on the field.

In all reality, any change up at the quar- KENDAL terback position will yield results. For THOMPSON reasons I’m still trying to figure out, co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel runs a pass-heavy offense that doesn’t work with Bell’s skills et, but switches to a zone-read once Knight and Thompson enter the game.

Stick with that, it’s what the team practiced all summer. It’s what they’re the most comfortable with.

Just keep an eye on Thompson’s deep ball. It’s clear he has a connection with the receivers.

But keep an eye on Knight’s legs. He improves every week running the zone-read, and if his passing skills can catch up, he will be Johnny Manziel 2.0.

Saturday will be here soon enough, and we will know who will be running the Sooner offense. Bell’s injury gave these two young players a second chance at the quarterback position, and the offense another chance to grow.

Change needed to happen with the offense, and Knight and Thompson offer just that.

Injury-ridden defense must rely on young talent JOE MUSSATTO

Assistant Sports Editor

A mixture of freshmen and sophomores have b e g u n t o t a ke ov e r t h e Oklahoma defense, and aside from a few youthful mistakes, finding the endzone hasn’t been easy for OU’s opponents.

Saturday’s matchup in which the Sooners held Iowa State to just 10 points marked the third straight game OU has held its opponent below its scoring average.

After a few second half adjustments, defensive coordinator Mike Stoops’ side clamped down against the Cyclones in the. Iowa State was held scoreless over the final two quarters. “ T h e w h o l e f i r s t ha l f was really uncomfortable,” Stoops said. “I thought as the game went on, we got more engaged in the game and our whole positioning on the football improved.

Our pressure improved on the quarterback.”

The increased pressure got to Iowa State as the Oklahoma defensive line collected five sacks for 31 yards.

Because of an onslaught of injuries that have plagued the OU defense, a number of freshmen and sophomores have been rushed into action quicker than they may have anticipated.

Stoops doesn’t cut his younger players any slack for making mistakes, but said he does realize the challenges they are facing early in their careers.

“Your reactions aren’t going to be what they are of a fifth-year senior with the young freshman,” he said. “They’re playing a lot of minutes, and it just takes time. The plus side of this is they gained a lot of experience, and that’s how we look at it.”

The experience will be vital for the Sooners heading down the final stretch

CHRIS JAMES/THE DAILY

Junior defensive back Julian Wilson tries to take down an Iowa State running back Saturday. Wilson is one of few veterans on a young defense that has performed extremely well this season.

“The whole first half was really uncomfortable. I thought as the game went on, we got more engaged in the game, and our whole positioning on the football improved. Our pressure improved on the quarterback.”

MIKE STOOPS, DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

this season and moving into next year.

On Saturday, a total of seven freshmen and five sophomores logged significant playing time for the Sooner defense. All have had to step up because of the devastating losses of two senior captains — corner Aaron Colvin and linebacker Corey Nelson.

Whereas in the past

few years the defense has been tabbed as the squad’s Achilles heel, this year’s side has given the Sooners a chance to win nearly every ga m e d e sp i t e i t s w i d e spread inexperience.

OU’s defense ranks 19th nationally in fewest points allowed per game with just over 20.

Th e n e xt t a s k f o r t h e Oklahoma defense looms

on Saturday as the Sooners head nor th for a tough matchup against Kansas State.

Coach Bill Snyder’s squad has tallied 30 or more points in each of its last four conference clashes. The suddenly efficient Kansas State offense has led the team to a four game win streak.

It’s never easy to claim a road win in the Big 12, and if the Sooners are too pull one out on Saturday it might just be up to the young Oklahoma defense.

ob Dylan may be past his music-making prime, but it seems there may still be hope. English singer/ songwriter Jake Bugg is stealing hearts and climbing charts with his bluesy blend of Dylan-inspired folk rock.

Bugg’s new album, “Shangri La,” expands on his first album, the self-titled “Jake Bugg,” and includes even more of the catchy lyricism fans have enjoyed from his past hits.

At age 19, Bugg is joining the ranks of other stars that currently are outdating their older counterparts. He’s been compared to the celebrated 17-year-old Lorde, another artist taking vintage inspirations and turning them into modern ballads.

I hate to betray my middle school love, but Bugg may be replacing John Mayer in my heart. With his skillful guitar riffs and soulful lyrics, Bugg reminds me of a young Mayer, with an even more rebellious attitude.

The angst of rebellion drives his music, which sounds like a magical mix of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and is that a little Buddy

Holly I hear? While some of his tunes like “There’s a Beast and We All Feed It,” may drive you to toe-tapping dancing, others like “Slumville Sunrise” could be the background to a London street fight.

Still others like “Pine

Trees” could be the theme song for a brooding forest troubadour. Bugg’s works are diverse, which makes listening to him an adventure. Like the legends he is compared to, Bugg has something for almost every listener.

Despite the variety in his new album, one element remains the same: Bugg’s infectious voice is the driving force behind every track.

For someone so young, his voice is surprisingly mature.

Perhaps that’s the reason behind all the comparisons to Lorde, another artist whose voice goes far beyond her years.

Yet, Bugg still appeals to a younger audience. “Messed Up Kids” is sure to become an anthem for angsty teenagers, displaying Bugg’s young rebellion. He sings, “The messed up kids are on

Bugg takes the best of legendary artists and combines them into relatable tracks that could appeal to young and old alike. I could be crazy, but Bugg’s tune “Simple Pleasures” is majorly reminiscent of The Cranberries’ “Zombie.”

With vintage inspiration and a timeless rebellious James Dean-esque spirit, Bugg is the fifth member of The Beatles born in the wrong decade. Obviously, fans of Bob Dylan, The Beatles and Jack White may enjoy Bugg’s particular style.
