The first Mr. OU Pageant sponsored by the Union Programming Board took place Friday to raise awareness for Movember, men’s health awareness and men’s health charities. The event was held at 7 p.m. Friday in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Meacham Auditorium. Each semester, one executive member of UPB hosts an event, and this year UPB Secretary Dehra McGuire created the Mr. OU Pageant. “I got the idea for a masculine pageant from my high school,” McGuire said. “All the students looked forward to it every year, and they always packed the auditorium. So I thought if it was that popular in high school, why not bring it here to OU?” Fourteen male contestants of all ages competed for the title in four different events includIN DEPTH ing sports wear, talent, formal Get involved wear and interviews, according to the event’s Facebook page.

Frysinger, a finance junior who represented the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, said he entered the pageant because it sounded like fun, and he had worked with student government before.

Beginning Nov. 26, students will get to taste the 23 flavors of Dr Pepper on campus. OU has been prohibited from selling Dr Pepper on the Norman campus since 2008 because of its exclusive pouring rights contract with Coca-Cola Refreshments, according to the contract. Because CocaCola Refreshments recently acquired Great Plains CocaCola Bottling Co., the university now will be allowed to offer Dr Pepper as well, univesity spokesman Michael Nash said. Great Plains CocaCola, a bottling company in Oklahoma City, is the sixth largest bottler of CocaCola in the U.S., according to its website. It has the bottling and
distribution rights for Dr Pepper in Oklahoma, said Nash. The Coca-Cola Co. acquired Great Plains Coca-Cola for $360 million on Oct. 25, according to an Oct. 27 article on NewsOK.com. Great Plains is now a part of Coca-Cola Refreshments, the North American bottling company, granting CocaCola Refreshments the right to sell Dr Pepper, Nash said. Because OU has a contract with Coca-Cola Refreshments, OU now has the right to sell Dr Pepper on campus. The first products — Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper — will start appearing in bottled form, according to a press release. Fountain transition and set-up will begin as soon as possible. “The university is very pleased that Dr Pepper is now part of the contract,” Nash said. Arianna Pickard aripickard@ou.edu

glimpse into Lebanese culture Event features Middle Eastern nation’s traditional cuisine, song and dance JENNA BIELMAN Campus Reporter
To cap off OU’s International Education Week, the Lebanese Student Association hosted its annual Lebanese Cultural Night to inform the community about its culture. The main purpose of the event is to inform OU students and members of the Norman community about what the Lebanese culture is — to go beyond what the media portrays by having participants experience what it means to be Lebanese through dance, food and videos of life in Lebanon, said Hiba Baroud, president of the Lebanese Student Association. The event was held at 7 p.m. in the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History. Students and families gathered at the sold - out event to learn more about Lebanese culture. People socialized at their tables before the event began, enjoying bowls of mixed nuts on the tables. The atmosphere was open and welcoming with a diverse group of people. The event began with singing the U.S. national anthem, which was then followed by the Lebanese national anthem. The dinner included a catered traditional Lebanese cuisine, including hummus, baba ghannouj, tabbouleh, falafel, grape leaves, kafta and more. The video
aboutL e b a nese history and its c u l t u re wa s shown during dinner. The event also included trivia about Lebanese culture, and during the final portion of the event, the audience got to experience traditional oral poetr y called Z ajal — traditional Dabkeh dancing and belly dancers dancing while balancing swords on their heads.

Be sure to declare your pitchforks at Tullamarine.” Sorry to those who wanted to renounce their citizenship, but it looks like you have no hope for resisting the schemes of a pro-choice, gay-loving president. The states themselves are making advances to move forward in a way that fits with the new normal. Such changes would take place regardless of who was elected as president. Arizona and New York, in particular, get a standing ovation from me. Arizona has just elected the first bisexual member of Congress, Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. New York also has just elected its second openly gay member of Congress, Democratic Sen. Sean Patrick Maloney. They will join Tammy Baldwin, the first openly gay senator. This is a big step for our country. By electing these legislators, the citizens of their districts are paving the way for the new normal we desperately need. More and more members of the GLBTQ community are living an open lifestyle, myself included. Having men and women who are open about their sexuality in such high positions of power sends a great message to the next generation. It shows one can make it to the top regardless of sexuality — that it’s not all people see. It is part of who you are, yes, but first and foremost you are a human being who has something important to offer. America is moving forward and accepting the inevitable. We will one day — and hopefully soon — establish equal rights. Senators Sinema and Maloney are a part of this. And if anyone doesn’t like it, Australia isn’t the answer. Might I suggest Yemen?

his month, the OPINION COLUMNIST Norman city complex hosted a symposium concerning the Americans with Disabilities Act and fair housing. The forum, “Opening the Doors to Accessibility,” provided Mark Brockway information on a wide mark.d.brockway@ou.edu range of housing issues related to the Americans with Disabilities Act. The act originally was passed in 1990 and ensures not just equal access to public buildings but also protection from employment discrimination and access to communication avenues — like phone, TV and Internet — regardless of a person’s individual ability. Many of the small things we encounter every day are a direct result of this act, such as closed captioning, Braille on signs and wheelchair ramps. The primary goal of the symposium in Norman was to motivate the city to more quickly adopt changes put forth in the act in building codes, code enforcement, city planning and architecture. The changes to these codes, which have been in place for years, have been implemented very slowly in some cases and often have led to Supreme Court cases in order hash out the specifics of the law. Building codes and architecture are boring as hell. When I first read the article, I figured I was lucky I was not assigned to attend the symposium and sit through lectures about how many inches a bathroom stall doorway had to be or how many feet a bus lift had to jut out to pick up someone in a wheelchair. Moreover, I was very suspect about the involvement of the government in dictating building codes, not just to public buildings, but also to private citizens and businesses. As I read on, though, my Grinch heart grew three sizes. It is easy for those of us without disabilities to be ambivalent toward the needs of people with disabilities that may prevent participation in the basic and essential processes of daily life. Going to the store or a friend’s house, talking on the phone and using technology are experiences to which I really don’t give a second thought. These efforts, however, would be significantly altered if I was blind, in a wheelchair or immobilized in some way. I, like many, always am suspect of any action and regulation by the federal government that reaches into the decisions of individuals. But after reading many of the stories about people’s experiences with the Americans with Disabilities Act, it became clear this is one area in which standardized governmental legislation and enforcement of that legislation is absolutely necessary. The reason is simple: Every American has the right to freedom of access. I cannot imagine a disabled veteran being unable to visit family across the country because the airline does not accommodate his wheelchair, or a child denied access to preschool because he needs an inhaler for his asthma. The boring changes to building codes and policies of local governments necessary to implement the act might seem like miniscule intrusions by the federal government, but to those affected by a disability, those changes can mean the difference between freedom and restriction. To those who say these issues ought to be left to the state or handled in private industry, I challenge you to read the personal stories behind the many legal cases brought as a result of the act. Before the creation of the act in 1990, individuals with disabilities had little to no legal standing to fight for equal access even to government buildings. In a culture seeking increased isolation from neighbors and with an ever-advancing distrust of others, it is perhaps natural to be self-seeking in our attitudes toward people whose needs do not fit into our ideology. The history of American freedom and empathy calls us to cast aside these blinders and look upon our neighbors not as adversaries but as fellow U.S. citizens deserving of the same attention and liberty those without a disability would expect. The strength of our nation has always come from our attitude that the protection of your rights is just as important as the protection of my rights. We now need only asks ourselves: Will we walk by, ignoring the rights our brothers and sisters, or will we reach out a hand and go side by side demanding liberty for all Americans?
OU’s soda options get a PhD
could not be happier OPINION COLUMNIST the presidential election is over. But there are some who are not breathing a sigh of relief and instead claim they will flee to Australia to escape the new president. This immature proposed Sarah Sullivan relocation is a good thing, katsar313@netzero.net though. It’s an indicator the U.S. is making progressive strides, like Australia. If you are not familiar with the Australia phenomenon, it began when Democrats said if Mitt Romney was elected president ,they would be filling out their Canadian citizenship applications. I personally had friends who were willing to pack it in and start over somewhere else. I guess I should be glad people take the issue of who is elected president so seriously. So, if the Democrats were planning to go to Canada, where were the Republicans planning to go? Brace yourselves. There were some Republicans who were set on going to Australia, even though Australia is even more liberal than an Obama-led U.S. If they are looking for an escape from the abortionloving co-conspirators of the homosexual agenda, Australia certainly is not the place. I was made aware of this proposed relocation through a post on Reddit. It addressed Republicans as follows: “To the Republicans who said they will move to Australia if Obama won: Australia has universal health care, compulsory voting, no guns, no death penalty, pro choice when it comes to contraception, openly gay politicians and judges, evolution is taught in schools, and our female Prime Minister is an unmarried atheist.

Instructions: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.
Take advantage of any social developments in the year ahead that offer you a chance to make some quality contacts. People whom you establish a friendly relationship with could prove to be of tremendous help both personally and in your career. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you’re concerned about taking a certain action, put it off until you can evaluate it more clearly. You need to first know what the ramifications could be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Getting your facts straight should always be of concern to you, but especially so if you are involved in a costly project. Be sure you look quite closely before you leap. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t be satisfied with ballpark figures concerning an important financial matter. If you’re inclined to jump to conclusions, you could get yourself in trouble very fast. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An important objective might never be achieved if you ignore the small details. You cannot be oblivious to them -- even though they’re tiny, they still matter. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This might not be one of your better days for keeping things to yourself. A smart adversary who is aware of your shortcomings might get you to tell much more than you should. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even if you feel justified in giving a
nettlesome someone a piece of your mind, you’d be smart to avoid it. It would only increase your difficulties with the offending party. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Regardless of the circumstances, don’t volunteer any unrequested criticism, suggestions or advice. Instead of getting a “thank you,� you’re more likely to get a huge reprimand. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Owing to your focus on the insignificant rather than on the essentials, this isn’t likely to be one of your more productive days. Turn that around. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Before making any costly plans that include a friend or associate, it’s best you check first to make sure that the other party is amenable. Your pal might not be on board. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Opening up a touchy domestic issue is apt to create some unnecessary friction within the household. Don’t voice anything without first considering the consequences. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Before pointing out others’ faults, you had better take a look at your own behavior. Although you might start the critique, others are guaranteed to finish it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Although you are likely to be quite adept at keeping large expenditures under control, it could be the smaller ones that pile up on you. Be both pennywise and poundconscious.

Despite surrendering 778 yards to West Virginia, the OU football team was able to pull off a win thanks to its offense and quarterback.

Youth shines in Billikens beat down Rebounding was an emphasis for game against SLU Kedric Kitchens Sports Editor
Blowout victories often are a time for new or young players to get some playing time and prove whether they should get more or less moving forward. That was the situation presented to Sooner freshman guards Nicole Kornet and Maddie Manning in OU’s 68-33 win against St. Louis University on Sunday. When Manning checked in for the Sooners for the first time in the game, there was 13:07 left in the first half, OU led the Billikens, 17-0, and Kornet already had hit two 3s — which ended up being all of her scoring. Ko r n e t a n d Ma n n i n g w e re b e i n g h a n d e d a n opportunity, and the look on their faces said they knew it, and they were ready for it. Coach Sherri Coale said the freshmen knew what they had to do if they wanted to earn more minutes on the court. “[Manning and Kornet] know that more minutes for them come the better they defend and block out,” Coale said. “Those are the parts of the game where they have to show the most progression to

be able to stay on the floor.” The two freshmen finished with modest numbers: Kornet scored six points on 2-of-4 shooting, pulled down four boards, dished one assist and coughed up two turnovers, while Manning scored four points, going 2-for-3 from the field, grabbing one assist, losing two turnovers
and grabbing one steal. But, as often is said of good players who sit behind great players, the freshmen’s impact was in their intangibles. Coale said she was impressed by Kornet’s play all around, especially the parts that don’t end up on the stat sheet. “I thought Nicole Kornet
was really good,” Coale said. “And I’m talking about in the finer points of things that don’t show up (in a box score). Obviously, she hit two quick 3s, and everyone goes ‘Oh, the freshman played really great tonight,’ but that’s not what I’m talking about.” “I’m talking about jumping the ball and being
in the hoop on the weak side and defending ball screens appropriately, adhering to the scout. She was really, really dialed in defensively … I was really pleased with her.” Coale also said that Manning played well but could have been even more impressive if she took a few jump shots that Coale said she could make. “I think Maddie (Manning) did well, too,” Coale said. “She looked like she got more comfortable than she has been in the first two games. I still think she passes up a lot of shots she could make. Part of that is she knows how good she is getting to the rim, and in her own brain, that trumps the open jumper.” Earlier this week, senior guard Whitney Hand said that she was going to be all about rebounding — she finished the game with a team-high six — and, after the game, she said she challenged her teammates to do the same. “[Blocking out and rebounding] was the one thing that we all said we were going to do,” Hand said. “I think I even challenged a couple of [the other players] to carry my bags if any of them beats me. It was obvious that that was why we lost (to UCLA on) Wednesday, so that was a big emphasis.”

Key performer: Senior guard Whitney Hand turned in the most well-rounded performance, scoring 11 points, grabbing six rebounds, dishing three assists and snagging three steals.

Kornet answered Hand’s challenge, tying her career high with four boards. The freshmen will continue trying to earn playing time when the Sooners head to Honolulu for the Rainbow Wahine Showdown, kicking the tournament off with a game against Arkansas at 6 p.m. Friday.

The next film to hit the big screen is “Silver Linings Playbook,” which opens Wednesday and offers a unique spin on the romantic comedy genre. “Silver Linings Playbook” chronicles the life of Pat (Bradley Cooper) and his journey back to normalcy after a stint in a mental hospital. After Pat leaving the mental institution, and moving in with his parents, he tries to reintegrate into society. One night he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) at a friend’s house. Both Pat and Tiffany have serious mental illnesses, and throughout the remainder of the movie, we see their ups and downs psychologically as they try to make their quirky relationship work. I’m not one who usually adventures into watching romantic comedies, but with a star-studded cast, which includes Robert De Niro, I’m willing to give it a chance.

‘Django Unchained’
If you get tired of your family and decide to see a movie on Christmas Day, Quentin Tarantino’s newest western “Django Unchained,” while not in the Christmas spirit, looks like an action-packed thriller. “Django Unchained” borrows its main character Django from the 1966 spaghetti western, “Django.” In “Django Unchained,” we follow Django (Jamie Foxx) as he fights and kills his way to finding his wife, who was sold into slavery by a ruthless Mississippi plantation owner. Along the way, Django meets Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a dangerous bounty hunter looking for the same men Django is looking for. If you are looking to relax and enjoy a Quentin Tarantino movie that is sure to make you grin at the over-the-top style of Tarantino’s films, then “Django Unchained” is a perfect fit for you this holiday season. Whether you want a lighthearted romantic comedy, a film with bloody action scenes or something that will take you places you never dreamed imaginable, Hollywood will have it all this holiday season.
