Candidates seek to unite fraternities on campus and maintain competition ELYSSA SZKIRPAN Campus Reporter
Candidates for Interfraternity Council President discussed issues ranging from recruitment to stereotypes in the greek community and the campus alcohol policy at the annual IFC Presidential Debate on Thursday from 7 to 8 p.m. in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Will Rogers Room. Spencer Falcon, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and biochemistry junior, is running with the intent of helping IFC chapters achieve greater academic success, IFC President Nick Coffey said. Falcon also is set on reviewing IFC’s recruitment processes to help chapters of smaller size grow in number, Coffey said. Falcon has held several positions within his fraternity, ranging from intramural chairman to philanthropy chairman, according to Coffey. Falcon said his desire to run for IFC president began with his dedication to the fraternities. “My motivation for running for IFC president stems from you guys,” Falcon said during the debate. “I want to make IFC more transparent.” Falcon specifically touched on issues of increasing diversity within smaller houses to help promote their house sizes, as well as unite the fraternities on campus, while maintaining friendly competition between them. Marketing and finance junior Drew Knox is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha and the current IFC vice president of programming. Knox concentrated his platform on IFC responsibilities, including alcohol policies, aiding smaller fraternities in their recruitments and housing during the debate. “IFC serving fraternities is its first priority,” Knox said. “We want to randomize the [alcohol policy] and hold houses accountable. We want to work with student conduct and continue this relationship. It’s near impossible to change this policy, so we need to work [together].” Falcon also agreed with promoting more tolerance

OU expanding digital materials World War II
collections catalogued
Plan to enhance classroom experience
Items in poor condition, left in limbo for 70 years
EMMA HAMBLEN Campus Reporter
OU has launched a digital initiative calling for faculty to implement new learning technologies in the classroom. The initiative is based on creating a more dynamic learning experience and lowering costs for students, said Mark Morvant, executive director of the Center for Teaching Excellence. This initiative w ill focus on maintaining what OU excels at and enhancing it with digital formats. President David Boren announced the digital initiative in a letter to OU faculty in August. OU must challenge itself to use videos and online courses materials to allow more time for discussion, student engagement and hands-on experiences in the classroom, Boren said in the letter. These technological implementations, however, should not replace classroom

learning, Boren said. The initiative seeks to leverage a number of tools such as iTunes U and iBooks to enhance students’ learning, said Nick Hathaway, OU executive vice president and vice president of administration and finance. iTunes U is a library of digital video content that the university and academic community can tap into, Hathaway said. It has a strong
educational component, and OU has developed an iTunes U presence through lecture series like “Teach-In on America’s Founding.” The power of the platform makes it an effective way to distribute content, Hathaway said. He said he hopes this video library can eventually be used as a tool for professors who want to have students SEE ITUNES PAGE 2
Collections dating back to World War II in OU’s Sam Noble Museum of Natural History are just now being cataloged by OU student volunteers after a delay of about seventy years. The cataloging process for these collections came to a halt after 1941, said Jenna Domeischel, volunteer and graduate student. “It is an amazing experience to look at something that has never been catalogued, essentially left in limbo for over 70 years,” she said. “Knowing why it was abandoned also adds another level of history, connecting those artifacts to a historic event within our cultural memory.” Certain collections need more immediate attention than others,
and the collections excavated by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s and 1940s are in need of the most care, said Elsbeth Dowd, collections manager for the archeology collection, in an email. “The sheer quantity of material excavated during these periods and the poor quality of the materials the artifacts were once stored in (brown paper bags and thin sandwich baggies that are now disintegrating) make these collections a high priority,” Dowd said. A amount of items excavated during the time period and the disintegrating brown paper bags and then sandwich baggies that were used to store the artifacts make these collections a high priority, Dowd said. Cataloging is a neverending process, she said.

DEBATE: Candidates focus on greek image Continued from page 1 for alcohol regulation on campus. “I know a lot of people disagree with the alcohol policy, but it’s there to protect us,” Falcon said. A surprising topic candidates touched on was the image of the Greek community. “Through the media, we’re seen as conceited…but we’re good people and we care,” Falcon said. “I want to access the image we have around campus,” Knox said. “[Others] really crack down on [it].” Both candidates provided plenty of new ideas they hope to accomplish in their

Knox promised to continue the work he’s accomplished as this year’s vice president of programming, as well as his efforts to provide the same amenities that are offered in traditional OU housing, such as free Wi-Fi and printers in each fraternity house.

The University College Action Centers are utilizing those interactive pilots as a way to engage students in learning. Some faculty are looking to replace hardcopy textbooks with digital material on iPads and tablets, replacing static text with more interactive digital formats that reduce costs for students, Morvant said. A group of faculty in the College of Education is looking to implement tablets into its classrooms next spring. A seminar workshop open to all faculty to discuss how to implement the iPad in the classroom will be held Nov. 14 and 15, Morvant said. Seminars and presentations for students about how to best utilize this technology to interact with professors will be offered in addition to the training for faculty. Boren said he is excited about the possibilities of individualizing and improving students’ education through new technologies and would like to encourage open-content on the Internet to reduce reliance on certain expensive textbooks.

OUR VIEW
Celebrate Native American heritage in Nov. Our View: Students should take advantage of a cultural education that is accessible during Native American Heritage Month in November.
GO AND DO Native American events and art exhibits around Norman
Few states have a culture grounded in Native American history like Oklahoma. Native Americans constitute 8.9 percent of Oklahoma’s population, and Oklahoma has the second largest number of Native Americans in the U.S., according to 2010 U.S. census data. But Native American customs are foreign to many in a homogeneous American culture, especially at OU, where only 5 percent of the student population identifies as Native American, according to the OU Factbook. Native American Heritage Month is celebrated by various government agencies, The Our View is the majority such as the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the National opinion of The Daily’s Park Service and the Smithsonian nine-member Institution. Grassroots programs editorial board presented at OU to students by students are even more important to keep the Native American cultural heritage alive and to best represent a very small community on campus. Students should attend events and visit exhibits on campus this month to better understand a culture and people so important to Oklahoma’s history and development today — to ensure the culture is not lost. Native American culture brings valuable perspectives and diversity to various institutions and

sectors within the state, OU included. The OU College of Law continually is recognized for its strong representation of Native American students. In 2011, more Native Americans enrolled in the OU College of Law than any other represented minority, and in 2009, OU had the largest number of Native American students in the country, according to the OU Factbook. The university’s Native American population continually shows it is making gains by affixing strong scholarship to growing Native American studies undergraduate and graduate programs.

important resource for studying Native American policy, status and conditions. In terms of economic gains, last year, the Native American community added $2.5 billion in state income, $10.8 billion in state production of goods and services and supported 87,000 jobs, according to a report released by Oklahoma City University’s Economic Research & Policy Institute. Take the time this month to visit some of the many Native American museums and education centers in the state, but don’t forget local events in Norman, too.

After losing to Notre Dame at home last weekend, the No. 12 Oklahoma football team looks to bounce back when it takes to the road, facing off against Iowa State at 11 a.m. on Saturday in Ames. The 5-3 Cyclones are coming off a 35-21 w in against Baylor. “Iowa State has done really well,” coach Bob Stoops said. “They are well coached, and they’re an excellent team in how they execute plays. They have played well this year on the road and at home; they’ve been very tough.” Bu t h i s t o r y i s o n t h e Sooners’ side: Oklahoma h a s l o s t b a c k- t o - b a c k regular season games only once under Stoops (when the Sooners lost to Notre Dame and Texas in ’99), and a Stoops-led squad has never lost to Iowa State — one of only two Big 12 teams with that distinction, the other being Kansas. “We are a pr ideful p r o g r a m ,” s e n i o r quarterback Landry Jones said. “We have a lot of pride in what we do, and we are not going to shut it down. W h e n ga m e day c o m e s around we are going to put our best guys on the field and we are going to play hard.” Against Baylor, Iowa State senior quarterback Steele

Junior running back Damien Williams fights for yardage during the Sooners’ 30-13 loss to Notre Dame last weekend. Williams rushed for 29 yards on 17 carries, and OU finished the game with just 15 yards rushing.
Jantz completed an Iowa State record 36 passes on his way to 381 yards and five touchdowns — both career highs for Jantz, who lost the starting job to sophomore Jared Barnett before the TCU game and didn’t regain it until last weekend. But Jantz’s handle on the
starting spot is anything but secure, and if the senior struggles against OU’s No. 16 scoring d e f e n s e , LANDRY expect to see JONES Barnett enter the game in
relief. This season, Jantz has thrown for 1,219 yards, 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions, and Barnett has thrown for 586 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions. It’s Iowa State’s defense, however, that has OU ’s attention.
“You look at their team, and they’re playing really well; they beat TCU earlier in the year,” Stoops said. “They played Kansas State tough up there in Ames. They’re a team who always plays excellent defense, and they’re doing a nice job.” The Cyclones’ front seven

R-rated puppets to mouth off at OU ‘Avenue Q’ opens tonight at OU Molly Evans
Life & Arts Reporter
Audience members will learn the only difference b e t w e e n p o st- g ra d s a n d puppets is a pair of legs with OU’s Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre’s opening of a Tony award-winning production this Friday. “Avenue Q” essentially is a “Sesame Street” meets “South Park” musical teaching adult life lessons in the simple style and setting of the beloved children’s program but with the content worthy of an R rating, director Shawn Churchman said. The puppets are a device to convey adult situations and matters, such as racism, relationships and “What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?” through a comical and cathartic delivery, Churchman said. Starting the audition process the first day of this semester, students did not need to know the word of the day, their ABCs or what thing did not belong with the others. But, they were expected to understand “Sesame Street’s” bright, optimistic tone and diversity, Churchman said. The 10-member cast of “Avenue Q” includes seven puppets and three humans — unemployed Brian and his foreign fiancee, Christmas Eve and late child star, Gary Coleman, according to the show’s synopsis. The onstage interaction b et w e en the students operating the puppets and those portraying humans e s t ab l i s h e d s e ve ra l n e w technicalities for the actors, Churchman said. “ Yo u h av e t o l e a r n t o express yourself through the puppet, which sounds easy,”

Churchman said. “The truth is, it’s incredibly technical and complicated to manipulate the puppet where it actually looks like it’s thinking and breathing and living.” Lip synchronization, wrist intricacies and flesh-to-felt visual cues are all skills to direct quickly and seamlessly the audience’s attention from the puppeteer’s manipulation to the puppet’s story, Churchman said. “When the puppet cries, you have to know how to make its little shoulders move up and down and wipe a tear from its eye and then you move its head to go [to the side],”Churchman said. “It’s amazing how the puppet will break your heart.” Churchman recruited Cullen Titmas, a friend and member of the “Avenue Q” National Tour, for five days to develop this new and marketable skill with students, while also preventing upper body injuries, such as tendonitis, rotator cuff issues and soreness. “[‘Avenue Q’] offers them to learn a skill that they can put on their resume and now go to New York and know how to be a puppeteer,” Churchman said. Heading to New York after graduation, senior Ethan Spell will have the lead role of wideeyed romantic, Princeton and

uptight Republican, Rod to his advantage, he said. “What am I going to do with a B.F.A. in musical theater other than perform, and hopefully that’s it,” Spell said. Performing Princeton and Rod provided Spell the chance to differentiate the characters and his technical ability to
personalize the two. “Both characters kind of fit me in a way,” Spell said. “Rod is me: uptight growing up, hiding things and staying in the background. And Princeton’s the part of me that’s always been wide-eyed and, ‘I can’t wait to move on, and I want to make a difference and help
people.’ Puppetry is the means to the musical messages that “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist” and “It Sucks to Be Me” convey. These complicated adult problems are solved sceneby-scene with the small cast coming in and out of doors on the perpetual set of Avenue Q,
Spell said. “It’s not about puppets,” Churchman said. “The play is about 20-somethings trying to find their place in the world. That alone should apply to everyone. Molly Evans mollyevans@ou
