Judge upholds stadium ruling OU will appeal decision despite injunction ANDREW CLARK

Assistant News Managing Editor @Clarky_Tweets

OU must award the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium construction contract to Haas Metal Engineering Inc. after a Cleveland County district judge upheld a temporary injunction to stop the renovations.

In an order filed Monday at the Cleveland County district court, District Judge Thad Balkman said HME Inc. is required to post an injunction bond in the amount of $178,770. Of the total, $153,770 is

for damages OU may sustain resulting from the halting of the construction and $25,000 is for reasonable attorney fees, according to the order.

Balkman determined that, following an Oct. 23 hearing, HME Inc. was the lowest bidder numerically, and it was indeed a responsible bidder for the project. As a result, Balkman ordered OU to suspend construction.

OU will appeal the decision and said construction will continue despite the injunction.

Stoops statue causes concern

Detective Justin Kammerer plays with his partner, Officer Barros, at the OU police department Oct. 27. OUPD’s K-9 officers are trained to detect trace chemicals commonly used in bomb making.

Joe Castiglione angry at surprise showing

Detective Justin Kammerer and his partner Officer Barros, and Master Sergeant Greg Vollmer and his partner, Officer Caesar, are four of OUPD’s finest. The only difference is that Barros and Caesar are not only their partners in the field, but their dogs at home.

OUPD runs one of eight teams in the state with K-9 officers, such as Barros and Caesar, trained for bomb detection, Vollmer said.

The officers said the dogs work with many different substances in order to recognize the smell and be able to detect them.

“We don’t work with all substances,” Vollmer said, “some are just too volatile to have in the police department or to have our dogs working with.”

The dogs don’t work with drugs, either, Vollmer said.

It’s important the dogs are the best at what they do, and that is detecting explosives, the officers said. They can’t be dividing their time.

A statue of Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops that was spotted being transported through Norman on Monday is meant to be placed on campus but will not be erected until a later date, OU athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a statement Monday evening.

The statue, which looks similar to those already on campus of former coaches Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer and Bennie Owen, was seen heading down Lindsey Street on the back of a truck.

Castiglione said it was always part of the plan to honor Stoops with a statue, but that a date for its dedication was not set and the university did not know the statue was being brought to campus Monday.

“Several years ago, when we began the process of recognizing our most accomplished coaches, we certainly included Coach Stoops in our planning,” Castiglione said.

OU not planning to change firearms policy Texas law permitting guns has faced protests BRYCE MCELHANEY News Reporter @bryce_mac

A new state law allowing guns to be brought onto college campuses in Texas has been met by student protests, and OU has no plans to change its gun policy.

Guns on campus are prohibited by university policy, which states “firearms and munitions of all types are prohibited on all property owned, leased, or occupied by the Board of Regents at all times except as specifically authorized,” according to OU’s Board of Regents Policy

Manual.

OU President David Boren said putting guns on campus would be a serious mistake, and nothing would do more to compromise the safety of OU students.

“Putting the best protection is to have an instant communication system, which we have, and a highly trained emergency SWAT response team,” Boren said in a statement.

“To allow amateurs who are not members of the SWAT team to have guns is to invite terrible tragedies based upon mistaken identity.”

Boren said having guns on campus will also hurt the university in its ability to attract outstanding students, faculty and staff.

OU alumnus Tony Beaulieu said although Texas has passed a law to

allow guns on its university campuses, this doesn’t make it a good idea for Oklahoma.

“I am opposed to guns on any campus. In general, I don’t think adding guns to any situation makes anyone safer — ever,” he said.

“I saw in Austin they were protesting with the dildos. I thought that was great. I’m totally behind that movement,” Beaulieu said He said with laws changing in Texas, he expects it to come back in Oklahoma as a proposal.

Spanish professor Chris Kneifl said he is against allowing guns on campus too.

“I think it would change the dynamic on campus and dynamic in our classes,” Kneifl said. “When we think about what a university

traditionally has been and ideally what it should be — a place of learning … where the free exchange of ideas can take place.”

Kneifl said he doesn’t buy the idea that more guns could make a campus safer.

“Unfortunately, campus shootings do seem to be on the rise, or we’re hearing more about them, but I don’t think the answer to that is letting people walk around with guns,” he said.

The issue is complex and is a larger societal problem, Kneifl said.

“I don’t think the answer is putting guns in the hands of students, faculty or anyone else other than the law enforcement,” he said.

OU alumnus Tiffany Lennemann said as long as the proper tests or

measurements are taken, it could be beneficial.

“Make sure all the mentality tests are there. Overall, I think it would be a good thing,” Lennemann said.

Electrical engineering senior Evan Tisdale said it would make him nervous.

“I don’t really trust people’s confidence in those kinds of (situations),” he said.

Tisdale said statistically, most of the time more guns leads to more danger than benefit.

“Generally, there’s very few situations where if something as bad as a shooting did happen on campus, usually you’re not going to know SEE GUNS PAGE 2

Tracking the path of presidents SGA boasts many accomplishments despite hardships BRIANNA SIMS News Reporter @briannana18

The OU Student Government Association presidential position has s e e n re s i g n a t i o n s a n d shortened tenures caused by erratic election reforms and resignations. However, those who have held this position have still accomplished much for the university and SGA. In April of 2013, Ernest Ezuego and Madeline Grunewald took office as the president and vice president of SGA. But, in February 2014, Ezuego resigned as President due to unforeseen personal circumstances. At the time, SGA didn’t have an appointment process established.

“That’s actually a unique part of SGA history,” current president Alex Byron said.

“We didn’t have legislation put in place at the time to establish an appointment process after the line of succession, so congress passed legislation to fix that.”

For the remaining two months of the term, Grunewald served as both the president and vice president of SGA until the new leaders succeeded her.

Following Ezuego and Grunewald, Matt Epting and Sarah Campbell made history by serving the shortest presidential term in SGA history.

Epting and Campbell’s transitional term was half t h e l e n g t h o f p re v i o u s terms because of a referendum passed in 2012, which changed the timing of presidential terms.

How e v e r, Ep t i n g a n d Campbell viewed this short term as a challenge, not as a handicap.

The pair was able to get a lot done for the campus despite only being in office for one semester, Epting said.

They worked on projects

such as allotting a new restroom at the intermural fields, working on the Turn Up for Transit initiative to reduce parking congestion, creating a student consulting program which became CAC Core, creating an SGA team to address individual student concerns, introducing the One Campus, One Book initiative and constructing the Rah! Council to motivate participation of students in activities.

“The shortened term motivated us to get as much accomplished as we could. It motivated us to work harder and faster,” Epting said.

Epting and Campbell left office in November, and Kunal Naik and Alex Byron

stepped in.

Before Byron became the president of SGA, she was the vice president to Naik, who resigned in June of this year. In a previous Daily article, Naik said he believed he couldn’t bring the necessary dedication to the position of president.

“I would love to continue this opportunity, but I also have an obligation to my physical and mental health,” Naik said in the release.

His resignation followed an incident last December, when Naik was arrested for public intoxication. When he resigned, Byron took the position of president, leaving the role of vice president to be filled this September.

Rugby honors fallen players Tradition connects current athletes with rich history DAISY CREAGER New Editor @daisycreager

Late on May 11, 2014, 30 people gathered in the foyer of the OU rugby clubhouse.

Surrounded by team photos, flags, jerseys and trophies, they watched solemnly as a coach pulled a thin rope, lifting a pair of cleats to the ceiling. The small black shoes with white stripes held ashes of a former player.

When a current or former member of one of the OU rugby teams die, a pair of their cleats is hung from the clubhouse ceiling in a ‘boot raising ceremony.’ When Sue Bryant, the female founder of the OU rugby team, died in 2014, her family held her wake at the clubhouse, leaving some of her ashes in her shoes to commemorate her dedication to the team, women’s rugby coach Holly Iker said.

The tradition started in the 1990s when a male rugby player died after being hit by a train, Iker said.

At boot raising ceremonies, family and friends share stories of the player, the shoes are raised with a levy system

and and those in attendance sing the rugby song. The ceremony and addition of the boots to the ceiling allows the players’ spirits to live on, women’s rugby player Bethany ‘Beezer’ Grissom said.

“To have them there forever, people ask about them, and they don’t die in a way,” Grissom said. “Everybody has memorials for people who pass on, and that’s just one of our ways of memorializing them.”

Colorful framed jerseys, plaques, photos, awards and golden eagles clutter the walls surrounding the cleats.

Since the first pair of shoes was raised, 13 more have

been added to the ceiling.

Grissom said the decorations of the clubhouse promote the history of the teams, shrouding them in tradition and pride.

“Every group has their traditions and that’s an identifier of who you are,” Grissom said. “I feel it’s important that new girls know of the traditions, they know what they stand for. It gives you a feeling of being a part of something that has a rich history that is passed on and is unique.”

Economics and premed senior Andrea ‘Big-A’ Gimondo said the tradition is an important part of the team’s history.

DOGS: Continued from Page One own dog,” Vollmer said, “and at the end of the day they come home with us too.”

They don’t just stop training after a certain point. They work two hours a day, four to five days a week, to keep their talent and skills sharp, Vollmer said.

Caesar has been in training as a bomb detection dog since he was 6 weeks old, Vollmer said. He also won officer of the year for 20122013, and Vollmer said when he walks Caesar around the campus, people tend to know him by name.

A point Vollmer emphasized was that the dogs are not only amazing resources for both detecting explosives and protecting citizens, but also for forming connections with the people they serve.

“People are our most important tools,” Vollmer said.

Kammerer’s partner is Officer Barros, or Bear, as they call him.

Kammerer said, unlike Caesar, Barros was trained outside of the country and

brought in when he was already 14 months old. At that age, Kammerer said, the dog already has the personality that he is going to keep, and they just lucked out that Barros was sweet and capable of being around people.

“Most of these dogs are very alpha in their mind set,” Kammerer said.

He explained that does not mean the dogs are aggressive or violent toward people, or even other dogs, it just means they were usually kept apart from one another so there wouldn’t be any one dog trying to be the alpha.

Both officers agreed having

a K-9 partner is absolutely no different than having a human one. In fact, Vollmer said, in some ways the connection is deeper.

“You have to know your dog as well as he knows you,” Vollmer said. “They’re with you 24 hours a day, home to work.”

Kammerer said the K-9 officers are like any other partner or officer; they have their good days and their bad days.

“There are some days where you can just tell that they aren’t feeling it,” Kammerer said. “They feed off of our energy, so if we’re having a bad day they might

to be connected to that history,” Gimondo said. “A lot of those up there are either people who started the team or were some of the first generations of rugby players here and I feel like if we lose that history then we lose a big part of what OU Rugby is.”

Both Grissom and Gimondo said they want their shoes hanging from the ceiling one day.

“It’s special and it’s one thing that separates us from other teams,” Grissom said. “I’ve got a pair I don’t wear anymore that I’m just saving.”

too.”

While setting up for a demonstration of Barros’ skills, Kammerer plays with the dog while Vollmer hides a small tin with a substance that Barros has been trained to detect.

Kammerer takes Barros to the parking lot and allows him to sweep back and forth across, and as he does Greg explains what is happening.

He says that they are doing what they call quartering the source, done downwind so that the dogs can better pick up a scent.

As Barros approaches a red trailer, he looks around for a second and then sits down, firmly and definitively. He looks straight ahead and Kammerer approaches and removes the tin can from under the trailer.

“They don’t paw at it like narcotics dogs do, because it could blow up,” Vollmer said.

“We don’t do that. They sit, and then we run really fast, and we’ll point at it. If you ever see that, us pointing and running, try to keep up.”

Byron appointed Aver y Marczewski as vice president, and they will serve SGA until this November.

They have continued the work that Epting did with Turn Up for Transit and the One Campus, One Book initiatives. This year, the executive branch was focused on the issue of diversity and addressing individual student concerns on campus.

Both Byron and Marczewski agree one of the biggest accomplishments they’ve had during their time at SGA was the work they did for Indigenous Peoples’ Day. “I think it was our greatest accomplishment, because it wasn’t something that was completely started in House

STOOPS: Continued from Page One “While statues of Owen, Wilkinson and Switzer have already been dedicated, Coach Stoops preferred to wait until a later date,” Castiglione said.

“Even though approvals of design, sculpting, production and storage took place, it was determined that the dedication would occur at a yet-to-be-determined point in the future. We did not receive any advance notice that the statue was to be transported to campus at this time. Moreover, we are extremely disappointed

and brought to us and carried out. You don’t have as much buy in it with the student body sometimes,” Byron said. “With a project like this — why it means so much to me — there were students on our campus that were unhappy with the lack of representation our indigenous community was receiving, so they came to us and addressed that and aired that problem, and we were able to liaison and offer information on how they could go about working with us, and how we could work together in order to advocate for their goal.”

They said they want the future leaders of SGA to continue this conversation and the work and research that the previous presidents have started in order for this campus and community to grow and prosper.

in the lack of consideration, respect and care that was shown in delivering the statue to Norman. This was completely unnecessary. It certainly is not reflective of the way we feel about Bob or the respect we’ll show him when his extraordinary achievements are properly celebrated.”

Once Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer retires at the end of this season, Stoops will be tied with Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz as the longest-tenured coach in college football. He has led Oklahoma to a national title and eight Big 12 titles, and his 175 career wins at OU are the most in school history.

Hunter Hayes is a country artist that is changing the game, using streaming services like Spotify and social media to produce new music and get close to his fans. “The whole year’s been about trying new things,�

Hayes said.

This year, Hayes has used Spotify to release his newest EP “21,� to set his tour dates and will be releasing the album “The 21 Project,� which includes acoustic, live and studio recordings of new songs, on Nov. 6 “With streaming and stuff, it’s a whole new sort of era that we’re seeing, and I’m excited for the opportunity,�

Hayes said. “As a songwriter, I think it’s really fun to think about songs and options that we have to release songs either officially or a part of another thing.�

This new era includes the ability to release songs that weren’t a part of the original album or to provide different versions of these songs for fans to hear, Hayes said. “It’s more than ‘Will it make the record?’ which is comforting to me,� Hayes said. “I’ve got close to 100 songs from both records that have been out so far, and only like 10 make the record.

And it’s fun to think the others have a place somewhere else.�

Hayes’ ‘21’ tour comes to OU other songs has inspired Hayes and his team to be creative with how they release music and to try new things, he said. “I love the fact that Spotify and students give us the chance to put new music out and get instant reactions and instant conversations with the fans to see what they’re connecting with,�

Hayes said.

This instant conversation helps Hayes and his team put together shows and albums, he said. “It’s been so much fun to kind of mess with new songs,� Hayes said. “The ‘21’ shows, the way we kind of put up the show, is not really like how we’ve ever built a show before. We took the energy sort of up a notch, and the goal was to create a show that has so much energy.�

But what makes a live show special to Hayes, he said, was that you can change it at any moment. “That every night, you know, that (energy) is in the set list, that’s in the musical arrangement, that’s in our show’s design ,“ Hayes said. “But at any moment we could stop it and just kind of go another direction.�

The show has the ability to breathe and be spontaneous, according to Hayes, which works especially well for the venues on the “21� tour. The tour features only 21 dates, including college campuses across the country.

For Hayes, playing on college campuses is a chance to bring his music close to his fans while enjoying a little taste of university life.

Lofty expectations for Sooners Veteran leadership of Hield, Cousins will prove critical DILLON HOLLINGSWORTH

Sports editor @DillonJames94

While Oklahoma football will spend the month of November trying to prove it is a national contender, just across campus the men’s basketball team will open a season in which it’s expected to contend for a title of their own.

The first AP Poll of the season was released Monday with Lon Kruger’s Sooners at No. 8. As the season gets closer, the lofty expectations at Lloyd Noble Center are receiving more validation from across the country— and for good reason.

Oklahoma returns four of five starters that finished 24-11 and made a run to the Sweet 16. A revamped bench gives the Sooners the depth they were missing last season, but the real key for Kruger’s crew is the veteran leadership at the top. Of the 15 players on OU’s roster, nine are upperclassmen.

“It’s a veteran group that’s done a lot of good things over their careers, but now the expectations are a little bit different, and we’ll see how we handle that,” Kruger said at media day Monday.

“We expect them to handle it well with the leadership of our senior group.”

The expectations are no different from the players.

The undoubted leader of the team is Buddy Hield, the guard who decided to forgo

Senior guard Isaiah Cousins practices during the first preseason warm-up at media day on Monday. Cousins is one of four returning starters from last year’s team.

the NBA draft and return for his senior season and has seen his name on plenty of preseason All-American lists.“Buddy’s game since March really has, across the board, improved,” Kruger said about Hield’s work over the offseason.

“Buddy’s just a hard worker. A really really good leader, works as hard as anyone in the country.”

Isaiah Cousins, the other guard in the starting lineup, has also seen his name creep

“He’s a great playmaker. He can really just do what he wants to do offensively, and defensivley he’ll shut anybody down. ’” KHADEEM LATTIN SOPHOMORE FORWARD

into the conversation about the potential pros who could come out of Norman.

“He’s a great playmaker.

He can really just do what he wants to do offensively, and defensively, he’ll shut anybody down,” sophomore

forward Khadeem Lattin said about Cousins.

“Whether we’re running, no matter what it is, he’s going to be first, he’s going to compete, and he’s going to challenge everyone else to do the same thing. So I mean he’s

definitely a leader that we lean on heavily.”

The Sooners will play their first exhibition game at 7 p.m. Friday in Norman against Washburn. They kick off the regular season Nov. 17 at 4 p.m. against Memphis on ESPN. When that first game comes, they will have plenty of guys who have been there before.

“Coach Kruger always talks about leadership, and I feel like we have better leaders this year. Me, Ryan

(Spangler) and Isaiah take these guys under our wings and challenge them every day in practice,” Hield said.

“I feel like we have good leadership. I feel like we can go really far.”
