Lattin’s failed free throw turns Hield into superstar

uddy Hield had 33 points as Khadeem Lattin strutted down the floor and beat his chest as he made his way toward the free throw line. “I got it,” Lattin screamed amid the crowd of 16,300 in Phog Allen Fieldhouse. Wi t h t h e s c o re t i e d a t 7 7 against then-No. 1 Kansas, Lattin had a chance to etch himself into Sooner lore with just seconds on the clock. A chance to be the final shining moment in snapping a 23-year losing streak in Phog Allen. A chance to upend a topranked Kansas team for the first time in 13 years. A chance to pave the road to the top spot in the AP Poll, a road

untreaded since 1990. But as Lattin stepped to the foul line, the ball hit iron on the front end of the one-and-one. Kansas sealed the rebound and a trip to overtime. The rest is history. Oklahoma and Kansas duked it out for three extra periods, and the Sooners fell short in a 109106 triple-overtime loss to the Jayhawks. A tough night for the Sooners, who had three players log over 50 minutes in a losing effort. However, Lattin’s miss at the charity stripe might have been the strongest force behind Hield’s newfound superstardom. In extra time, the Bahamian dazzled a national audience against the top-ranked team in

the nation on the road. Three overtimes later, Hield’s night was not just impressive — it was historic. Hield joined Sooner greats Stacey King, Brent Price and Wayman Tisdale as the lone players to score 46 or more points in a game in the program’s history. Hield edged former Oklahoma forward Alvin Adams for eighth on the all-time scoring list while converting a personal-best eight three-pointers in Lawrence. The senior guard has since led the team to its first No. 1 ranking in 26 years, filed six additional 25-plus point games and outdueled LSU forward and player of the year candidate Ben Simmons in a thrilling, come-from-behind road victory.

The Naismith front-runner has elevated himself from a local household name to a prominent figure in college basketball. From Kevin Durant to Chris Paul, Hield’s future NBA colleagues have paid respect to the 22-yearold’s game. College basketball writers and national pundits continue to rave about his character and work ethic almost as much as his performance and play. As the postseason approaches, it is becoming safe to assume that Buddy Hield will win Player of the Year. The senior guard is posting more than 25 points per game and is still in the ulta-rare 50/50/90 club in the middle of February. As for his teammate, Lattin has long since recovered from

his foul line folly against Kansas. The sophomore forward was front-and-center of a game winning tip-in against No. 11 West Virginia to secure the 70-68 victory and the team’s 15th win of the season. “It’s kind of a like a redemption for me,” Lattin said after the game. Lattin and Hield now boast shining performances this season. Lattin found himself back on the right side of closing moments, and Hield can place a 46point line on his resume when he submits it to Naismith voters. And it’s all because of one missed free throw.

The Sooners held the nation’s leading offense to just 19 points in the first half. Oklahoma put on a defensive clinic, holding conference All-American guard Kirk Hinrich to just four points. Guard Hollis Price won Big 12 tournament MVP with 23 points.

The Sooners led 47-26 at the half and gained a 32-point lead four minutes into the second half. Kansas made a strong rally, but guards Hollis Price and Quannas White paired 19-point outings to secure the win for the Sooners.

Oklahoma possessed a 15-point lead by the break and held Kansas to just 22 points at the half. Freshman guard David Godbold broke out against the eighth-ranked Jayhawks, posting 15 points and seven rebounds.

Forward Romero Osby contributed a game-high 17 points while guard Steven Pledger tallied 15. The game was secured by then-freshman guard Buddy Hield with a steal and an after-the-buzzer two-hand slam to elicit a court storming in Norman.

With the game tied at 73, the Sooners had 5.4 seconds to run the length of the floor for a last-second shot. After a layup grazed off the rim, Buddy Hield swooped from the perimeter to deliver the game-winning tip-in.

Boren suggests pay cuts for himself, others Proposal would cut his pay, vice presidents’ and deans’ by 3 percent ANDREW CLARK @Clarky_Tweets

OU President David Boren has proposed cutting the pay of many deans and vice presidents of the university as part of a money saving initiative amid a statewide budget crisis. Boren has proposed to cut his own pay and that of 26 other OU vice presidents and deans by 3 percent to save almost $250,000, O U p re s s s e c re t a r y C o r b i n Wallace said. The proposed cuts would take place July 1. The money saved will go toward need-based scholarships for students, he said. Not all deans and vice presidents will have their pay cut, however. Wallace said any dean

or vice president who makes less than $200,000 will not receive a cut, including Scott Mason, the vice president of governmental relations; Matthew Hamilton, the vice president of enrollment; and Nicole Judice Campbell, the dean of University College. The salary reductions are part of Boren’s plan to cut the university’s budget by $20 million amid a statewide budget shortfall. Other administrators affected by the pay cuts include Kyle Harper, the executive vice president and provost; Clarke Stroud, the vice president for Student Affairs; and Jabar Shumate, the vice president for the University Community. Ed Kelley, the interim dean of the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, who is also facing a 3 percent pay cut, said there had been plenty of informal discussion regarding the cuts prior to their announcement. “I picked up on some of it last week, and my guess is that this

has been discussed since ... the middle of January right before the semester began,” he said. Kelley also said he believes the pay cut is to show that the people atop the university’s hierarchy are unified in moving to eliminate the budget deficit. “I think (Boren) wanted to make sure that everybody here, at a time when it is very unlikely for there to be pay raises … that the people here who were doing well salary-wise, that they were contributing to what was going on,” Kelley said. OU’s administrative costs are among the lowest in the nation and have been cut in half, down to 4.5 percent, since 1994, Boren said in a press release. Boren has also unveiled other initiatives to cut the university’s budget, including a voluntary early retirement plan, reductions in purchases and travel and a reduction of faculty and staff by attrition.

Those eligible for Boren’s voluntary early retirement plan will be notified of their eligibility Feb. 15. The cutting of OU’s budget stems from the state playing less and less of a role in funding it. State appropriations comprise 15.5 percent of OU’s total operating revenue budget for the fiscal year 2016, while they comprised 31.3 percent of the university’s total operating revenue budget in the fiscal year 1995. However, the total amount of money state appropriations contributed to the budget has increased by about 11.56 percent since 1995 when adjusted for inflation. Kelley said the challenges the state is facing may be the toughest it has faced since the 1980s, when low oil prices caused an economic crisis in the state. Andrew Clark

Is Hield decade’s best? Performance places gaurd in running for best player of 2000s SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

Buddy Hield’s heroics in Oklahoma’s win over Texas on Monday night were well documented. He scored the Sooners’ final 12 points, including a game-winning 3-pointer that left 1.3 seconds on the clock and a stunned Texas bench. The conversation around Hield has moved beyond a National Player of the Year discussion. He’s already secured that. Hi e l d ’s p e r f o r m a n c e against Texas — and this season — provoked Alec Brzezinski of Sportingnews. com to wonder if Hield is the best college basketball player of the last decade. The season isn’t over, but Hield has provided a large enough sample size to compare his numbers to the best of the best in recent years. Hield is averaging 25.7 points per game, second in the country to Howard’s James Daniel. While he likely won’t lead the country in scoring this season, that figure would have been enough to pace the country in three of the last four seasons. But Hield’s scoring hasn’t been the most impressive part of his season. Rather, it’s his efficiency that’s turning heads. Hield’s shooting percentages currently sit at 51.8 percent from the field, 50 percent from 3-point range and 90.2 percent from the free throw line. The last college player to reach each of those

ESPN’s College Gameday to preview OU-Kansas rematch in Norman ESPN’s College Gameday will visit Norman to preview the rematch between Oklahoma and Kansas on Feb. 13. This is just the second time in the program’s history the Sooners have hosted College Gameday in Norman. The ESPN crew made an appearance at Lloyd Noble Center in 2006 as No. 24 Oklahoma and No. 4 Texas squared off. OU took down the Longhorns 82-72. The Sooners and Jayhawks are a little more than a month removed from their triple-overtime instant classic in Allen Fieldhouse Jan. 4. Oklahoma fell short 109-106, despite a career-high 46 points from guard Buddy Hield. The Lloyd Noble Center will open its doors at 8:30 a.m. for ESPN’s 10 a.m. show. John Walker, sports reporter

Senior guard Buddy Hield drives to the the basket during Tuesday night’s game against Texas Tech at Lloyd Noble Center. Hield is the unanimous player of the year favorite.

three plateaus? Utah State’s Jaycee Carroll eight seasons ago. Hield’s efficiency from the 3-point line is especially impressive when compared to his constituents. Since the 1994-95 season, Hield is one of two players to shoot at least 50 percent from long range on at least eight 3-point attempts per game. The other? Troy Hudson, who accomplished the feat with Southern Illinois in the 1996-97 season. It begs the question — is Hield really college basketball’s best player since the turn of the century? Take a look at his shooting numbers compared to the other seven guards who have won

the Wooden Award in that time frame. Hield ranks first in field goal percentage, first in 3-point percentage, first in 3-point makes, third in points per game and second in rebounds per game. His two biggest competitors are J.J. Redick and Jimmer Fredette. Redick and Fredette both made — and took — more field goals than Hield in their respective National Player of the Year seasons. Both took more threes than Hield, but neither made as many. Both scored and assisted more, but neither grabbed as many rebounds. Redick probably has the best case to challenge

Hield for the unofficial title of “best guard since the turn of the century.” Unlike Fredette, Redick faced the nation’s best on a night-tonight basis while playing for Duke in the ACC. Redick also scored more points at a more efficient rate than Fredette did. The season isn’t over, but Hield’s first 23 games are a good start toward one of the best college basketball seasons in recent memory. Spenser Davis

Campus stars to take stage

Dancing event will feature faculty, staff chosen by students MIA PONS

@miaisabel4

OU students and faculty will participate in Dancing with the Stars this Friday. The Union Programming Board will host Dancing with the Stars in Meacham Auditorium. The first place prize is a donation to Soonerthon in the winner’s honor. “It’s a fun way to get people interested in faculty and staff and get other people around campus interested in UPB,” said Dancing with the Stars Program Director Jordan Weaver. Participants chose to do this event so they could invite different campus leaders to come and see what UPB is like, Weaver said.

Ever y participant was nominated. The pool of candidates consists of Camp Crimson namesakes, people from the Student Life office and popular professors that students have emotional pulls toward, Weaver said. “t,” Weaver said. “We looked at people who were in multicultural organizations like Mr. Asian OU (and) people who work in the science departments like Dr. Tarren Shaw. (We are) really just trying to get as many different parts of campus covered as possible to accurately reflect what OU is about.” The event will consist of eight couples — each made up of one star and one dancer. A lot of responsibility fell on the dancer to choreograph and teach the star the two-minute routine, Weaver said. “Dr. Shaw and I have had

a ton of fun preparing for the event,” contestant Taylor Jarmon said. “The first time we spoke, he told me he wasn’t afraid to ‘ham it up,’ which is something that is right up my alley! So we’ve had a blast.”

“The biggest thing was making sure we had different areas of campus covered.” JORDAN WEAVER, PROGRAM DIRECTOR Weaver said it was up to each star and his or her partner to begin practicing. “I know for sure the faculty and staff have been practicing a lot,” Weaver said. “A lot of them have been practicing for about four weeks — two or three times a week.”

Art imitating a student’s life Gender roles and death are central in Raux’s portfolio MIA PONS

@miaisabel4

Different communities’ cultural practices on gender identity and responses toward death have inspired an OU student’s senior thesis. Sculpture student Erin Raux is finishing her senior thesis as well as her Master of Fine Arts this semester. The thesis showcasing her work and the work of others is on April 8 at Mainsite Contemporary Art in Norman. “My ar t is continually affected by a fluid social environment and the ever-changing definitions of the world around us,” Raux said. OU’s program has allowed Raux to have the freedom to explore different ideas and to create and learn about anything she finds interesting, including gender identity, community and cultures, she said. “Experiencing the loss of a loved one is an inevitable part of being human. It cannot be escaped,” Raux said. “Presently, I am examining the topics of connection, loss, history and death itself in my own work, and in particular how our culture copes with these topics through objects of memory.” Raux said community and culture are very important to her.

PROVIDED BY ERIN RAUX

Sculpture senior Erin Raux sits in her studio Feb. 5. Raux takes inspiration from her surroundings and will showcase her work April 8 at Mainsite Contemporary Art.

“Two-Spirited,” a work from her undergraduate years, was centered on gender identity. “Much of my work before I got here and when I got here was about gender roles,” she said. “I was seeking out other cultures’ ways of dealing with gender roles and gender identity.” Asking those questions about different cultures helped lead her to her thesis. In her second year at OU Raux lost her grandmother, and she believes this changed the trajectory of her work and what mediums she used for her creations. “I think mixed media is the perfect way to describe what I do,” she said. Raux says that plastic flowers on grave markers are surrogate memories of loved ones. She calls her recreations of traditional American burial rituals

awkward and dreamlike. Her work uses mundane items like pantyhose and wax to give a perception of skin and body. She aims to engage the viewer with the surreal sense of loss and connections, Raux said. She has yet to finalize what works to feature, but is planning on including somewhere around seven pieces. “To be completely honest with you, I don’t know yet. I was just given my space at Mainsite,” Raux said. “That makes things more physical for me; I can start to imagine what goes where. I’ve gotten a pretty lovely space, and I want to show what I’ve done.” Mia Pons

T h i s y e a r, e a c h a c t c h o s e m u s i c f ro m l e g ends like Freddie Mercury, Tina Turner and Michael Jackson. Weaver said they had to choreograph based on the song and will be scored based on how they incorporate different styles of dance into their routine. L a s t s e m e s t e r ’s U P B Comedy Fight Night winner Ashley Leisten, who is hosting the event, will join the judges Friday night. Some of the judges include Kasey Catlett, assistant director of LGBTQ and health programs in the Gender Equality Center and a veteran judge for the event; biology professor Doug Gaffin, last year’s Dancing with the Stars winner; and former contestant Vicky Bumgarner, who is a volunteer coordinator in OU’s Office of Leadership and Volunteerism. Weaver said they also

wanted to try doing something different this year by having same-sex pairings. Weaver said they have always paired male dancers with a female star because “it’s just they way it goes.” “But we wanted to show we don’t necessarily buy into gender-binary stereotypes ... to showcase that UPB is an open and welcoming environment to all.” Catlett said it’s refreshing to see this change in the kinds of dance partner pairings. “It’s great to have this representation on such a platform,” Catlett said. “Not only is this beneficial for the LGBTQ community but the university as a whole. Dancing shouldn’t be limited by the genders of the pair, as that only limits the art created by two people.” Mia Pons

Taiwanese portraits show workingclass community in a realistic light

Portraits by a Taiwanese artist will be featured in an exhibit this Friday in the Lightwell Gallery at the OU School of Art and Art History. The exhibit, “An Odyssey from East to West,” will open on Friday. It will include portraits of working-class Taiwanese people by artist Shih-jaey Tseng until Feb. 26. “The portraits are an attempt to describe the reallife aspects of an inadequately represented group in southern Taiwan,” Tseng said. “North Taiwan frequently depicts this group as laid-back and unmotivated. My goal is to provide witness to the daily events that comprise their lives.” Tseng, an OU graduate, is an associate professor of photography in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The portraits are a part of an ongoing project to introduce the lives and cultures of these Taiwanese people to viewers, he said. The Lightwell Gallery is located on the second ﬂoor of the OU School of Art and Art History. The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Jessica Barber, arts and entertainment editor

Euripidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; classic Greek traged,y â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Trojan Women,â&#x20AC;? opens Friday in the Weitzenhoffer Theatre and describes a familiar story to audience members, said director Susan Shaughnessy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you have to do is turn the news on to see the situation of the Middle East, and I absolutely think we are talking about the same thing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Trojan Womenâ&#x20AC;? focuses on the women left to deal with the desecration of Troy, the loss of their families as they are sold off as slaves and the deaths of their husbands. The play centers around Queen Hecuba and her daughter Cassandra, who embark on a journey characterized by prophetic gifts and enslavement as Agamemnonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concubine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Euripides wrote the play because Greece was unnecessarily killing men, children and enslaving women,â&#x20AC;?

For Jones, it means understanding that apps like Tinder are great for something casual but not meant for serious relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tinder is pretty much only for hookups, not that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet cool people that way, but the expectations behind it is not to go on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;realâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dates,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. Although casual dating has become accepted and commonplace, it influences how relationships are formed and causes some young people to think that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? relationship is something to fear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of stuck in this never ending cycle of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;talking.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You go out but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not actually dating. Somehow putting a label on it is scary and off-putting,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. Carl Roberts, letters and

Student aids mayoral hopeful Sophomore’s love for candidates fuels work on campaigns ELIZABETH ANDERSON @lizziewynne

An OU student who is experienced in working on political campaigns is now managing a mayoral campaign for a city councilmember. S i n c e D e c e m b e r, Courtland Vogeding, a political science and international studies sophomore, has been managing the campaign of Lynne Miller, a Norman city councilmemb e r w h o i s r u n n i ng f o r mayor of Norman. Ly n n e M i l l e r, a n O U graduate, has lived in Norman her whole life. According to the City of Norman’s website, she has worked for Norman Public Schools for more than 30 years. Vogeding said Miller is highly involved in her

church and local volunteer organizations. “She’s really been a community advocate and leader. She always has her hand in some organization, trying to make Norman better in some way,” Vogeding said. As campaign manager, Vogeding says she keeps t ra c k o f Mi l l e r ’s m e e tings, contacts voters, recruits volunteers and hires interns. Miller said in an email that Vo g e ding ’s role in the campaign was limited at first, but as Vogeding has proven herself capable, her responsibilities have increased. She said Vogeding’s help has been especially valuable in managing the budget, organizing fundraisers and finding student volunteers. This is her first time to manage a campaign and her first involvement in a municipal election, but Vogeding is hardly new to

this field — she has been volunteering and working in various political campaigns since eighth grade.

“She’s really been a community advocate and leader. She always has her hand in some organization, trying to make Norman better in some way.” COURTLAND VOGEDING, POLITICAL SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MAJOR

Vogeding said the first campaign she was involved in was that of John Olson, who ran to represent Congressional District 1 o f t h e U. S. H o u s e i n 2009. Olson didn’t win, but Vogeding said her involvement inspired her to continue to volunteer for campaigns. She said since

volunteering for Olson’s campaign, she has also worked for Cyndi Munson, the first Asian-American woman to be elected to the House of Representatives in Oklahoma, and Victoria Vazquez, who was elected to the Council of the Cherokee Nation. Vogeding said she and Miller met through Cindy Ro s e nt ha l , t h e c u r re nt mayor of Norman and the director of OU’s Carl Albert Congressional Research Center. Vogeding is an alumna of the center’s National Education for Women’s Leadership program. Lorna Vazquez, assistant dire ctor of N.E .W. Leadership, said the fiveday residential program hosted at OU in May gives u n d e r g ra d u a t e w o m e n f ro m a c ro s s O k l a h o m a valuable opportunities to meet other women in politics. The program seeks to help and encourage women

to learn about and become engaged in the political process. The program contains simulations in which participants manage campaigns and see how bills are made into laws. Vogeding said she has no interest in political consulting in the future, and her involvement so far is due to her passion for the candidates. “If I could be doing anything in the entire world, I would be working with nonprofits in the Middle East,” she said. She wants to work to expand opportunities for women to be involved in government. Vogeding said she cares deeply about liberal politics, but she doesn’t see herself running for an office. “But that’s what everyone says when they’re my age,” she said.

Headington extends weekend visiting hours Changes made to cater to students, match other halls LAUREN MASSING @LaurenMassing

The Headington Hall weekend visiting hours have been extended to match those of other residence halls as a result of legislation passed by the Headington Hall Student Leadership Association. The revised visiting hours, which went into effect on Jan. 21, were extended to 2 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in accommodation of the requests made by the residents of Headington Hall. Matt Marks, the Headington Hall Student Leadership Association vice president and a broadcast journalism sophomore, said the association recognized that many of the residents were unhappy with the current weekend visiting hours and felt it was unfair other residence halls had a different policy. “I wanted students’ voices to be heard,” Marks said. “I thought this would be a great opportunity to put together a resolution that we could present, asking administration if we could extend the visiting hours,” he said. Association members Cody Cox and Riley Eden drafted a proposal that was then approved by the

organization as a whole. From there, the proposal was sent to Headington Hall administration for approval. “Our main point that we wanted to get across was that the limited visiting hours take away from people wanting to come hang out at Headington, and we felt that extending the visiting hours would help encourage people to visit more,” Eden said.

“I think we’re moving in the right direction ... this shows people that we’re listening and that our organization is a voice and we can make things happen.” MATT MARKS, HEADINGTON HALL STUDENT LEADERSHIP ASSOCIATION VICE PRESIDENT

Marks also sent out a survey to the Headington residents to collect data regarding the potential policy change. He said 251 out of 254 responses were in favor of the reform. Marks said he is excited for the future of the association and how it is quickly gaining support. “I think we’re moving in the right direction … this shows people that we’re listening and that our organization is a voice and we can make things happen,” Marks said. “That is

really exciting to see.” Jacob Thomas, a human relations sophomore and resident adviser at Headington Ha l l , s a i d h e h a s s e e n the Student Leadership Association evolve in a positive way over the past year. “It’s definitely going places,” Thomas said. “A lot of people are getting involved in SLA now, and it’s really grown. It seems like residents are really embracing it more and taking advantage of the change that it can make.” As a resident adviser, he said it’s encouraging to see residents get involved and take advantage of the resources available to them. He is excited to see what is in store for the association going forward. Marks said the association has coordinated events for the residents, including various “snack nights,” a pie in the face event in which residents could throw a pie at an RA or administrator, a canned food drive and different movie nights hosted in the Headington theater. “This organization is all about focusing on the residents,” Marks said. “The biggest thing we are trying to do is build community among our residents. We want Headington to truly feel like home ... that’s what our organization is all about.” Lauren Massing lmassing@ou.edu

Using science to defend against terrorism Nelson was inspired by her close call in Paris SHAYLIN DAJI @ShaylinDaji

An OU professor and president of a national society for chemical scientists intends to address the topic of science diplomacy after having a close experience with the Paris terror attacks last November. Donna Nelson, an OU chemistry professor, recently became the president of the American Chemical Society. In November 2015 she was scheduled to attend the Malta Conferences in Rabat, Morocco, which draw chemists from all across the Middle East. Nelson, who was president-elect of the American Chemical Society at the time, was flying to Morocco with one of the conference organizers. After the conferences in Morocco, she was scheduled to go to Paris to meet with members of the French Chemical Society, she said. Nelson said they were scheduled to fly through Paris on the way to the Malta Conferences on Nov. 14, 2015, but terrorists struck the city the day before. Even though she was scheduled to fly through Paris within 24 hours of the attacks, she decided to continue despite the possibility of further terrorist attacks in Paris, she said. Once she arrived in Morocco, the other scientists at the Malta Conferences were happy she had not canceled, Nelson said. “All of the scientists were similarly inclined that we all wished that the terrorist activities would stop,” Nelson said. “We were all scientists of a common mind saying that (we) wished that there was more peace in the world.” Once France’s borders reopened, Nelson met with the chemists of the French

Chemical Society, she said. Nelson said she asked some of these chemists how they believed the terrorist activities were impacting sciences and how science was impacting the terrorist activities. One of the members told her they could not let the terrorist activities disrupt progress and science because that was what the terrorists wanted. The members also told her science and knowledge are the best defenses against these terrorist activities, Nelson said. Nelson’s meetings at the Malta Conferences and with the French Chemical Society made her decide to focus on science diplomacy, she said. Nelson plans to speak on this topic with other scientists in her travels abroad.

“All of the scientists were similarly inclined that we all wished that the terrorist activities would stop.” DONNA NELSON, OU CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR

“We (scientists) are one g l o b a l c o m mu n i t y o f a common mind with similar goals,” Nelson said. Attila Pavlath, former American Chemical Society president, said science diplomacy is an important point to address, but he views it as a very difficult challenge that hopefully Nelson is able to overcome. To become elected as the society’s president, Nelson’s strategy included emailing all members four times to ask them what they would like to see changed, she said. Nelson said she received approximately 1,500 responses discussing issues the society’s members felt were important to address. According to the ACS website, the organization is the world’s largest scientific society with more than 158,000 members.

Nelson’s strategy of asking members what needed to be changed was “an important and needed approach for Nelson to initially become elected and to identify what needed to be addressed in the ACS,” Pavlath said. Nelson, who previously worked as a chemistry adviser for the television show “Breaking Bad,” said she identified three main items that were important to many of the society’s members. These three goals were improving job opportunities in chemical sciences, increasing the diversity in the sciences and improving chemical education. She has now added science diplomacy to the list. Nelson’s emphasis on employment opportunities in the U.S. for chemists is most likely one of the major factors that got her elected, Pavlath said. In 2015 Nelson served as president-elect and primarily focused her efforts on the employment issues chemists faced in the U.S. Nelson created the American Chemical Society Presidential Task Force on U.S. Employment of Chemists, which is chaired by Pavlath. The task force examines employment challenges for all chemical professionals in the U.S. and then gives recommendations and insights to the appropriate governance entities, according to a document provided by Pavlath. The creation of this task force demonstrates Nelson’s determination to make a change in the number of employment opportunities available to chemists, Pavlath said. One of Nelson’s interests that she focused on before becoming the society’s president was diversity in the sciences. Nelson said her work on the Nelson Diversity Surveys gave her insight on how to address diversity in the society. According to the Nelson Diversity Surveys web page, the sur veys

Lyric posters spark conversation Signs claim that Adele’s ‘Hello’ supports stalking AMBER FRIEND @amberthefriend

A series of posters from OU’s Gender + Equality Center faced online backlash last week due to their implications that lyrics from Adele’s “Hello” normalized stalking. The posters ran as a part of the center ’s stalking awareness campaign in January, using song lyrics with possibly harmful undertones to show how themes of harassment are prevalent in pop culture. Po s t e d t h ro u g h o u t t h e South Oval and in the residence halls, the poster series featured lyrics from Maroon 5, Sam Smith and Adele and stated, “even great songs can normalize sexual harassment.”

“I think it definitely started the conversation about how pop culture has messages, and these are things students are listening to. We’re certainly not saying not to listen to something, or that it’s bad. We think these are great songs. Those are some of the reasons why we chose them.” KATHY FAHL, DIRECTOR OF THE GENDER + EQUALITY CENTER

“Harassment in relationships and in relationships that end is common on college campuses, and so those issues are really important. And we’re trying to start a conversation to shift the culture to one that includes respect and boundaries,” said Kathy Fahl, director of the Gender + Equality Center. The p osters w ere designed by a student advisory group through the center, which brainstormed popular and prominent lyrics that have subtle problematic messages, Fahl said. Last week, the series was shared through Breitbart News, a conservative news and opinion website. The website’s article focused on the poster featuring Adele, which displays the “Hello” lyric, “I must have called a thousand times,” and the phrase about normalizing sexual harassment. The article’s comments are a compilation of criticism and anger, most of which accuse the campaign of overreacting in the name of social justice or misinterpreting the song’s message. Fahl said the article was the only negative response the campaign received. Despite this backlash, Fahl said she thought the posters started the discussion they were intended to spark. “I think it definitely started the conversation about how pop culture has messages, and these are things students are listening to. We’re certainly not saying not to listen to something, or that it’s bad. We think these are great songs. Those are some of the reasons why

Screening to feature documentary about youth who fought inequality OU’s African and African-American Studies Department is partnering with the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication to host a Black History Month ﬁlm event this February. The screening will feature “Eyes on the Prize,” an award-winning PBS documentary covering the Civil Rights Movement. The viewing is at 6 p.m. Feb. 18 in Gaylord 1140, said Yvette Walker, Gaylord’s assistant dean for student affairs. Attendees can arrive at 5:30 p.m. for refreshments. The showing will focus on “Ain’t Scared of Your Jails,” a segment of the documentary looking at young people uniting to face and overcome segregation from 1950-1951. After the excerpt, Walker will moderate a panel to lead a discussion over the material. “Students will see young people like themselves who took a stand during the Civil Rights Movement,” Walker said. She said she hopes attendees will be inspired by the viewing and discussion about the young change-makers of the early ‘50s. The African-American Studies Department is hosting an ongoing Black Film Festival throughout February. The “Eyes on the Prize” screening is its only collaboration with Gaylord this month.

Fahl said the normalization of stalking and other forms of sexual harassment was not limited to the songs they chose and could be found throughout mediums such as music, television, advertising and cinema. As far as the poster series, she said she is glad for the conversation it began, regardless of the interpretation. “I think that people interpret it in their own way,”

Fahl said. “Lots of people saw it and thought different things about it. That probably happens with everything we put out.” Fahl said. “We’re just glad that people saw them and had a conversation.” Amber Friend

The OU Biology Department will host a neuroscientist from Vanderbilt University next week for a presentation on electric eels. Kenneth Catania will speak from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Feb. 17 in George Lynn Cross Hall room 123. His talk, titled “The Shocking Predatory Strike of the Electric Eel,” explores what really happens when an eel electrocutes its prey. “What’s really fascinating about what Dr. Catania has done is this is the ﬁrst time that somebody has really discovered in depth what exactly the eels are doing with their electric shocks to incapacitate their prey,” said Michael Markham, a professor from the biology department. “Basically, electric eels invented the taser about 300 years before police forces did.” Markham said the talk would be accessible to anyone and, because Catania presents in an engaging manner, easy to understand. “It’s almost like listening to somebody tell a story,” he said. Markham said Catania’s research focus is predator-prey interactions and the neurobiology behind these behaviors. Besides eels, Catania has investigated star-nosed moles and water snakes. “He ﬁnds these very interesting cases of animal behavior and then very systematically discovers how the animals do these things and how the system controls these behaviors,” Markham said. The way Catania performs experiments is unique, as he does not rely on “fancy equipment” like lasers and nanotechnology, but instead employs highspeed video recorders and “very clever experimental design,” Markham said. Markham said he hopes two things attendees will take away are an appreciation for important science that uses relatively simple technology and an awareness of how little we really know about what lies behind animal behavior.
