Freshmen to present research Students will show results of academic research program JESSE POUND News Reporter @jesserpound
Freshman students will present posters about their research experiences on Wednesday as part of the culmination of this year’s First Year Research Experience program. The First Year Research Experience program gives freshmen a research adviser and allows the students to participate in research in different subject areas.
Sixty-seven students participated in the program this year, said program co-director Naga Rama Kothapalli. Students from 21 majors participated in five different research areas this semester; however, the program still has room to grow, and she would like to see more research areas added, Kothapalli said. The program’s largest research discipline is chemistr y and biochemistr y, Kothapalli said. Other research areas include psychology and mathematics. Some students improve their research techniques dramatically in the program and also learn how
to read scientific literature, Kothapalli said. Chemical engineering freshman Ryan Johnston said that the program is not simply students making copies and coffee for professionals. “We definitely are doing the research,” Johnston said. Johnston said he came to OU because he wanted to be able to do research and spent about 10 hours a week working for the program. All 70 students who applied in the fall were placed in a research lab, but some chose not to continue with the program due to time constraints, Kothapalli said. The program is in its
fourth year, Kothipalli said. Of the 17 students who participated in the program’s first year, each one who decided to apply to medical school was accepted, Kothapalli said. About 50 percent of participants choose to continue doing research the following fall, Kothapalli said. As part of the program, students must work in the lab 10-12 hours per week and attend a two-hour meeting once every two weeks, Kothapalli said. SEE RESEARCH PAGE 3

I mean, he cast my short and a film for Francis Ford Coppola in the same month.” As a tribute to classic films of the ‘80s, “Movie Magic” recreates several iconic movie scenes, including the flying bicycle scene from “E.T.,” which McIntosh

created with a greenscreen and a simple frame, he said. But more ostentatious is the film’s tribute to “Back to the Future,” which features a modified DeLorean DMC12 identical to Doc Brown’s legendary time machine. McIntosh met the car’s owner, Gary Weaver, serendipitously at a Huey Lewis and the News concert in 2011, he said. A longtime fan of “Back to the Future,” Weaver maintained a blog, BTTFParts, about converting the DeLorean into a time
machine. “I met him and I said, ‘You’re THE Gary Weaver!’” McIntosh said. “We talked and clearly we had a mutual love of ‘Back to the Future’ and movies in general […] And years later, I told him I had this idea for a movie.” Although many of the DeLorean’s scenes were shot with a greenscreen in a studio, the car does not travel back in time in the movie, McIntosh said. McIntosh said post-production of “Movie Magic”
is nearly finished, with only some color correction work remaining. When it’s done, the movie will join “Another Night, Another Murder” in his portfolio of projects to show future employers or investors, McIntosh said. After graduating in May, McIntosh hopes to work with movies, perhaps in Austin, Texas or Los Angeles, but ideally right here in Norman, he said. “I’d like to stay here to be a bigger fish in the small pond of Norman filmmaking,” McIntosh said.

Dad acquaints son to OU life Camp Crimson director impacts students’ futures DAISY CREAGER Staff Reporter @daisycreager
When 5-year-old Caskey Stevens goes to work with his dad, instead of roaming around cubicles or sitting in an office, Caskey watches relay races, goes to pep rallies and hangs out with college students. Zac Stevens, the director of Camp Crimson and Caskey’s dad, brings Caskey to campus during camp for one-on-one time as well as to expose him to what college is really about, Stevens said. “As he gets older, he’ll start to see this as the college experience that it is,” Stevens said. “If you grow up with two parents on campus, you may get burnt out on being around the college life all the time, but it’s cool that he gets to be around the fun stuff.” Caskey does not have an average experience at his dad’s work because his dad does not have an average job. Stevens directs and develops several orientation programs on campus including Camp Crimson for incoming freshmen and transfer students, a transfer student leadership class and Sooner Orientation Weekend (SOW), which is held during the first weekend before the fall semester begins, he said. “There’s a lot of people who think that when SOW weekend starts, I’m done,” Stevens said. “A lot of people don’t know about the rhythm of it. During camp
2015 we will be making plans for camp 2016.” When Stevens was hired in 2005, there were two weeks of camp where approximately 1,000 freshmen attended, Stevens said. This year, there will be five weeks of camp and about 2,200 freshmen are expected to attend, Stevens said. Lori Stevens, associate director of the graduation office and Zac Stevens’ wife, said that as the camp has grown, so has its impact on student graduation. “I think that it’s definitely one of the programs on campus that impacts our student retention,” Lori Stevens said. “Camp Crimson does a great job in helping students find their identity here and really feel like OU is home and [that they] belong here and get acclimated to college life sooner rather than later.” Zac Stevens’ role has had an immens e impact on Camp Crimson’s growth and how the experience affects students, said Kristen Partridge, the director of student life. “[He has an] ability to be a motivational inspiration to students,” Partridge said. “[Through camp I’ve seen] him connect our student leaders to this idea that everyone belongs here and that you deserve to feel that way.” Camp is important for everyone involved, because it has a direct impact on the way they experience OU, Zac Stevens said. However, he put emphasis on his impact on the training of small group leaders, he said. “We need to do more to give those small group leaders a better picture of what they need to do to be a good

leader,” Zac Stevens said. “For some of them, this is the first intense experience they have of investing in somebody else and helping them grow and develop, and it just gets in their blood. Zac Stevens compared his role to Playing For Change, a foundation that compiled a series of CDs of musicians around the world playing the same songs. “I’m the guy who brings together all these musicians, and it’s my job to make sure that they are all playing the same song so that together we can make great music,” Zac Stevens said. Zac Stevens compared his and his wife’s roles in the university as bookends. He
brings students in and she helps them leave. “We actually do get to work together on some projects,” Lori Stevens said. “We talk about work at home, and we bounce ideas off each other. OU has a family feel and that’s one of the reasons we chose to serve here.” Partridge, who has known Zac Stevens since they were 15 years old, said he has improved orientation programs for freshmen, transfer students and parents during his time at OU. “I’ve seen him really take a lot of the projects that we use to do and change them into better versions of themselves,” Partridge said. “It’s been really instrumental in
not only getting students to come to OU, but then fall in love and stay here.” Zac Stevens’ inclusive personality and humble spirit make him a good leader, Partridge said. “He attracts people to [his] projects,” Partridge said. “Everyone wants to come work with Zac, everyone wants to be a part of his team because he’s very inclusive to leadership and ideas. He has created the kind of experience, even for upperclassmen, that makes them feel like this place belongs to them.” Zac Stevens’ passion for students and other people make him exceptional at his job, Lori Stevens said.
“I am amazed at how thoughtful he is about the experience for students and how invested he is in making sure that the experience is a growing one,” Lori Stevens said. Lori Stevens said her husband is an educator at heart and that exposing Caskey to that as much as possible will help him in the long run. “Hopefully he values his education and becomes someone who seeks that for others,” Lori Stevens said.

RESEARCH: Participants in program explain benefits of academic work Continued from Page One The program also counts as three hours of academic credit, Johnston said. Johnston said he does not plan on returning to his lab in the fall because he wants to try to do research more related to chemical engineering. The techniques learned in the program have been helpful in academic work, Johnston said. “By the time we got to our o-chem lab, we already knew how to do a lot of the lab stuff,” Johnston said. Chemical engineering freshman Sean Nguyen said that the mentor and team
that you work with has a big impact on how much you learn from the program. “ The people who you work with are just as important as the area you’re going to do research in,” Nguyen said.

OU loses weekend game series Sooners drop two of three matchups during weekend set SPENSER DAVIS Baseball Reporter @Davis_Spenser
Oklahoma (30-17, 10-5) dropped two of three against Sam Houston State in a three-game set in Norman this weekend, equaling its win total from last season. The Sooners took the first game 3-2 but dropped Saturday’s matchup 4-3 in 11 innings. OU rallied late in the rubber match, but couldn’t come all the way back and fell 8-5, with senior right-handed pitcher Robert Tasin picking up the loss. Junior infielder Kolbey Carpenter was once again a factor on Friday, blasting a solo home run in the eighth inning that proved to be the difference. It was Carpenter ’s team-leading eighth home run of the season. While Friday’s game was status quo for the Sooners, Saturday’s battle was anything but. Junior catcher Chris Shaw was nearly the hero for the Sooners, sending out a tworun homer to give OU a

3-2 lead. It was also Shaw’s birthday. “Just getting some confidence back at the plate, [that home run] was definitely big for me,” Shaw said. “No better day to do it than my birthday I guess.” But sometime in the middle innings, with his team
leading 3-2, head coach Pete Hughes disappeared from his standard duty along the third base line. Assistant coach Mike Anderson, who filled in for Hughes, said post game that he “just wasn’t feeling well.” However, the coach’s absence was later attributed
to chest pains, and it was announced that he would spend the night under obs er vation at O klahoma Heart Hospital South. He missed Sunday’s game but is resting in good spirits. “I don’t think we got a hit [after I came in],” Anderson joked, “So this one is on me.”
But the peculiar events didn’t stop there — while his head coach was receiving medical attention, junior outfielder Craig Aikin was getting involved in some extracurricular activities. According to Anderson, Aiken was being barked at by the Bearcats’ dugout
during an at bat late in the game. The opposing pitcher, thinking he had strike three, fist pumped violently while coming off the mound, drawing a reaction from Aikin. After the at-bat, Aikin ended up in a shouting match with three Bearkats before the things diffused. According to Anderson, Aikin handled himself well considering the situation. “I went down and told the umpire,” Anderson said, “‘We’re pretty fortunate that my guy handled it the way that he did,’ I thought Craig handled himself with class.” Aikin, who was not made available for comment after the game, never appeared to calm down entirely as the game continued into extra innings. The loss on Sunday gave the Bearcats the series win and stole momentum from a Sooners squad with a tough remaining schedule. The Sooners will be in action next on Tuesday as they take on Wichita State in a midweek matchup on the road. Spenser Davis davis.spenser@ou.edu
OU takes series over Kansas Sooner softball leaves Kansas with pair of wins, one loss JOE BUETTNER
Women’s Basketball Reporter @Joe_Buettner
The Kansas Jayhawks walked senior Lauren Chamberlain eight times in three games, but their strategy to contain the NCAA Division 1 all-time home runs leader didn’t account for Oklahoma’s other hitters. OU suffered a loss Friday night in extra innings to the unranked Jayhawks. However, the Sooners responded with a 13-0 win Saturday in five innings and a 7-4 win Sunday to take the series in Lawrence, Kansas. Freshman Paige Parker started all three games and
allowed just five hits in the three-game span. Three of those hits came Friday night in Oklahoma’s lone loss of the series. Parker struck out seven batters that night; however, two of the hits she gave up were tworun home run shots. The loss gave Parker her fifth defeat of the year, but she helped pitch a shut out Saturday in a 13-0 blowout victory for Oklahoma. The Sooners scored four runs in the fourth inning and five more in the fifth. Juniors Kady Self and Whitney Ellis combined to bat in five runs and helped Oklahoma dominate Kansas. OU delivered again Sunday with a 7-4 victory, which handed Kansas its 10th loss of the season and secured Oklahoma a share of the Big 12 softball title. The Sooners tacked on
three runs in the first two innings Sunday and added four more runs in the sixth to insure the win. Parker improved to 23-5 with senior Shelby Pendley seeing time in the circle this weekend in relief. OU will get a three-day break before heading to North Texas Thursday night after playing five games in the past seven days. O klahoma and Nor th Texas are set for a 6 p.m. first pitch. Following OU’s date in Denton, Texas, they’ll return home for a two-game series with Utah Valley before its final two regular season games with Oklahoma State.

The University of Oklahoma men’s tennis team defeated the No. 2 Baylor Bears for the fourth time this season in as many matches, claiming the Big 12 Tournament Championship, after tying for the Big 12 regular season Championship. In a positive turn of events, the Sooners won the doubles point to take an early 1-0 lead over the Bears. This was only Baylor’s second doubles loss of the season; the other loss was also against OU. The No. 1 team of Axel Alvarez and Dane Webb split up, but each won their sets. Alvarez with Jose Salazar won 6-4 on court 3, and Webb with Spencer Papa won 6-3 on court 2, while the No. 1 team of Alex Ghilea and Andrew Harris lost 6-1. The good times kept rolling for the Sooners when No. 2 Axel Alvarez beat No. 1 Julian Lenz in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4. Alvarez is now 20-0 on the season, including this

win that extended the OU lead to 2-0. C o a c h Jo h n R o d d i c k made a statement about Alvarez’s play, and also his fall from No. 1 to No. 2 in the nation. “I think he is showing that he is playing the best tennis in the country right now,” Roddick said. “He is doing it in a manner that sometimes
puts out matches in complete control. He is proving that he is the best player in the country.” No. 5 Andrew Harris continued the winning ways on court 2, also winning in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, moving OU one point away from another victory and another Big 12 Championship, 3-0. However, this is where the
dual took a turn. No. 35 Dane Webb lost on court three in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3, while Alex Ghilea lost on court 4, 6-4, 7-5, tightening the dual up, 3-2. The dual did not get any better for the Sooners on court 5, where Spencer Papa lost a dramatic 7-6, 2-6, 6-2, match that tied it all up at 3. It all came down to court
6, where Florin Bragusi won 6-4, 6-7, 6-4 to take the set, match and dual for the Sooners, 4-3. This win moved the S o oners to 23-2 on the season. With two Big 12 Championships and all the momentum they could possibly want, OU is headed into the NCAA Championships. Roddick was proud of the
fight he saw out of his team. “That was a great match,” Roddick said. “A lot of credit goes to Baylor, because as you saw, that match goes either way. That was a coin -flip situation and you are not going to see better tennis than down there at [court] six. It was a heck of a match, and I was really proud of our guys for just kind of grinding through that one and pulling it out at the end.” The Sooners will await their position in the NCAA Team Championships. The draw will be announced Tuesday, April 26 at 4:30 p.m. CT. Having been ranked No. 1 for nine straight weeks and picking up two top-10 wins this weekend, Oklahoma will likely be the No. 1 overall seed. “It would be a big deal for us,” Roddick said. “The guys have earned it, and they’ve played hard all year. They’ve w o n s o m e re a l l y t ou g h matches that could have gone the other way. You still have to go out and play the tournament though.” Ryan King ryanking@ou.edu

Oklahoma is a state built on oil. In 2013 Oklahoma ranked fifth in the country in crude oil production and accounted for 7.1 percent of gross natural gas production. In fact, the U.S. oil industry has grown rapidly in recent years with the adoption of extraction methods that make it easier to remove oil and gas.

›››› People of Norman Music Fest: Daily staffers Supriya Sridhar and Dana Bran-
ham walked around Norman Music Festival, asking people what role music played in their life.
What role does music play in your life?
“Music has always brought up memories and reminded me of people and situations and really important moments in my life that a song can just bring back in a moment. Music also has its way with having a good time. We’ll stop the car and get out of the car and two step on the side of the road, we wanna dance. Music is just so near and dear to my heart.”
“A bunch of my friends are all in bands. Pretty much as long as I can remember, I’ve been going to shows and been really into local music scenes. My entire social life is based around music and I love it.” LAURA EASON
“The role music plays in my life is my mother, father and grandfather and sometimes my annoying grandma. It takes over my life, it’s kind of like my job. I can’t sleep without it. Music is just too much for me, and I’m kind of addicted to it which is also bad, but I enjoy it. I’ll let it kill me.” DEX KWASI
