orman resident Daniel Harris, 58, is known for his long beard, paint-stained jeans and different names — Da n , Da n ny , M r. C ra ckp o t, teacher and baker, but his favorite is potter. The year was 1977, and Harris was working in Trisom Bakery near South Bend, Indiana, when a co-worker suggested he take a pottery class. Harris heeded the advice and found his passion. “When I closed my eyes that night, I saw the wheel spinning, and I didn’t dream about pottery, but I knew I was going to be a potter for the rest of my life,” Harris said. After taking a few classes, Harris decided to embark on an independent study at Notre Dame, where he met his wife. Carol Wahpepah, Harris’ wife, said before meeting Harris, she had heard of a potter who made teapots for ar tistic purposes rather than tea. Wahpepah thought it was strange until she saw his work. “I just thought it was pretty amazing,” she said. “I never even thought about pottery. I tried when we were dating, and it was really hard.” After two years at Notre Dame, Wahpepah and Harris moved to Norman, where he received a bachelor’s and master’s degree of fine arts in ceramics at OU. Currently, Harris creates series based on single words, and he sticks to a unique philosophy when it comes to moving clay, he said. “When I throw the pot, I don’t want to intrude on the surface. I want the pot to be itself,” he said. “That’s a pretty insane idea. I would say that’s pretty close to religious.” Now, 38 years after his first pottery class, Harris will be a featured artist at The Mayfair Festival of the Arts in late May, while his work is already on exhibit at The Mid-America

Potter y show in Kansas and can be found at local boutique, STASH, he said. Alongside these achievements, he has taught full-time as the art teacher at Irving Middle School for the past 21 years, he said. Har r is made the decision to teach after learning fulltime potters spends six to eight months on the road marketing his or her pottery and the remaining months of the year cranking out work, he said.

“When I throw the pot, I don’t want to intrude on the surface. I want the pot to be itself. That’s a pretty insane idea. I would say that’s pretty close to religious.” DANIEL HARRIS, NORMAN RESIDENT AND POTTER

“I used to work at the national camp for the blind back in New York, so I always enjoyed teaching, and I thought as a school teacher I get four months off a year to make pots,” he said. As a potter marketing his work full-time, Harris would make just enough to cover the cost of living expenses. The median annual pay of craft and fine artists in 2014 was $44,400, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These factors confirmed Harris’ desire to make pottery out of love rather than striving to sell enough pottery to make a living. When Harris sells his work, mugs are $25, bowls are $20, serving bowls are $65 and Harris’ signature teapots range from $300 to $1,600, he said. Rebecca Bean, owner of STASH, said her first impression of Harris was how quirky, charming and modest he was about his work.

“He said, ‘Yeah, you know, I do some pottery,’ then he brought it in, and I thought, ‘This is the coolest, most unique pottery I’ve seen coming out of Oklahoma,’” she said. Bean found out Harris was a local celebrity after uploading a picture of him on STASH’s social media with the news that the store would sell his work, she said. “Every former student of his flooded in. We sold out within 48 hours of putting his work on the shelf, and he had brought in quite a large collection,” she said. Harris’ popularity can be attributed to the way he encourages his students’ creativity and allows them to express themselves, Bean said. “He’s beloved in this community,” she said. “What an incredible gift he is to us.” Hannah Wahpepah-Harris, Harris’ daughter, said she still has miniature clay pieces her father made for her dollhouse when she was a young girl. Wahpepah-Har r is star ted a Facebook page for her father to continue to spread awareness for his work, she said. “I know he does (pottery) for himself because he loves it,” she said. “I don’t think selling is his full focus. But I’ve started posting pictures of his mugs on Monday and calling it Mugshot Monday.” Harris works in his outdoor studio from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends when he isn’t traveling or spending time with his family. Harris is currently working on his “lazy teapot series” and hopes to teach pottery fulltime at OU in the future, he said. “I’m just looking forward to the next day and working on some ideas that I have,” he said.

CAC election results by the numbers

Aimee Schnebeck defeated Daniel Moreno in Monday’s runoff election for Campus Activities Council chair, after neither candidate received the percentage of the vote needed to win in the March 30 general election. Here’s how the vote broke down:

41 percent of vote

TOTAL VOTES

2,151 469

fewer votes were cast in the runoff election than in the general election

A campaign manager for unofficially elected Campus Activities Council chair Aimee Schnebeck has admitted to a campaign violation. Photos sent to The Daily by Annie Shen of Daniel Moreno’s campaign show Isaac Hill in a shirt supporting Schnebeck’s campaign attempting to give students an electronic polling device in the Oklahoma Memorial Union. Moreno finished second in Monday’s runoff election with 41 percent of the vote. Hill, Schnebeck’s campaign manager, admitted in a phone call Tuesday morning that he committed the violation. Hill said he didn’t know what he was doing was a violation and that he stopped after he learned he was in violation. Hill is the former president of the Black Student Association and was a candidate in November’s election for Student Government Association president. According to Title VIIElections of SGA’s Code Annotated, campaign members are forbidden from approaching students with a voting device while wearing any kind of promotional material for a campaign on the day of an election.

When: March 1 Filed against: Schnebeck campaign Outcome: $15 fine

AIMEE SCHNEBECK When SGA Election Board Chair Abbey Taylor was asked about the incident, she said the election board is meeting Thursday to discuss all grievances. Taylor said the board will discuss what action it will take if it believes the code has been broken. The punishment for breaking the code is a fine. Moreno first declined to comment when asked about Hill’s violation. When asked if Hill’s violation potentially skewed the election, Moreno said, “I think he broke a campaign rule.” Moreno also declined to comment about any grieva n c e s p o t e nt i a l l y f i l e d against his campaign. The Daily cannot confirm other grievances of the runoff election because they are not posted until after the election board has finalized election results with the Superior Court. The Daily will publish all grievances filed during the runoff

when they are made public Thursday. At least one grievance was filed against each campaign during the general election. Seven grievances were filed against Schnebeck’s campaign, which resulted in two fines. Moreno’s campaign received three grievance filings but no fines. Jacob Nguyen’s campaign, which was eliminated from the race after the general election, received one grievance and one fine. Staff Reports

Leukemia survivor gives back Relay For Life exec knows struggles of cancer firsthand LAUREN MASSING @LaurenMassing

An OU student who survived cancer is giving back to OU’s annual Relay for Life after the event celebrated her triumph a dozen years ago. Hope Wieden, a health administration junior, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at age 9 after she started experiencing symptoms at summer camp. As a 9-year-old girl, she should have had abundant energy to enjoy her time at camp, but that was not the case. Wieden had a hard time keeping up with her peers, she felt fatigued and tired, and she could barely walk up the hill to get to her cabin without feeling worn out. When her parents picked her up, she described her symptoms. Her mom, who was a nurse at the time, assumed it was just the flu and took her to a clinic the next day for a checkup. After her blood tests returned with an alarmingly high white blood cell count, Wieden was transferred to OU Children’s Hospital where she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. For the next six months, she underwent numerous rounds of chemotherapy. “I basically lived in the hospital because that kind (of leukemia) is pretty rare for children to have, so they had to treat it really aggressively,” Wieden said. After six months of chemotherapy, Wieden was cancer-free and was able to return to school after a short period of rest at home to rebuild her immunity. “I had some complications along the way, but for the most part (I) came out of it pretty well … we luckily caught it pretty early,” Wieden said. Wieden said despite the circumstances, she

remained positive throughout the entire process. “Honestly, I think it’s kind of nice being a child because you’re kind of naive at that age and it’s just like, ‘Oh I’m just sick. I’ll get through this; it will be fine,’” Wieden said. To entertain herself while in the hospital, Wieden said she would color, do crafts and watch TV. Twelve years later, she still thinks about how her illness affected her family. “I think it was way harder on my parents than it was on me,” Wieden said. “Like yeah, I felt bad and that kind of sucked, but it was definitely way harder on them to see their child suffering.” Wieden said she felt weak,

fatigued and out of breath and slept most of the day. She said the chemotherapy made her feel nauseated, caused her to lose weight and made her hair fall out. “I was kind of mad because I had just grown my hair out, like I had just gotten it to the length that I wanted, and I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? Now it’s going to fall out,’” Wieden said. One bright spot of Wieden’s time in the hospital was the invitation she received to come walk the survivor lap at OU’s Relay for Life. That was the first time she had heard of Relay for Life, and at 9 years old, she got to walk the survivor lap on the South Oval.

“That was just a really cool experience ... it really made an impact,” Wieden said. “It’s really funny because I was raised an OSU fan, and I had no idea I was going to end up coming here and be on Relay exec here.” Wieden is on the public relations committee and is one of the survivor chairs for Relay for Life. She participated in Relay for Life as a freshman, but decided she wanted to be more involved and applied for exec as a sophomore. “It’s cool to be on the other side of things and get to put it together and see how much goes in to it; it’s like a yearlong process of planning,” Wieden said.

Emily Taylor, a supply chain management senior and vice chair of public relations for Relay for Life, said she likes working with Wieden because of her upbeat personality and commitment to the cause. “Every time I see her, she always has a smile on her face,” Taylor said. “She is passionate about Relay for Life, and I really appreciate her willingness to make Relay at OU bigger and better than ever.” Kyndle Young, a nonprofit health science senior who works closely with Wieden on Relay for Life, said Wieden is not only hard-working but kind. “Hope is a very inspiring

woman; you can see a lot of strength in her,” Young said. “She just exudes this leadership capability and is very helpful and sincere with people.” Wieden said she plans to stay involved with Relay for Life even after she graduates. “It’s definitely allowed me to connect with a lot of different people and to share what God’s done in my life,” Wieden said. “You meet more people than you would think that have been through the same thing in one way or another.” Lauren Massing lmassing@ou.edu

Fourth annual 5k celebrates late employee Organizers hope race raises $20,000 for cancer patients EMMA KEITH @shakeitha97

A run on OU’s campus this weekend will honor the life of a former OU staff member while benefiting cancer patients. The fourth annual Cody’s Run will be held Saturday at OU’s David A. Burr Park. The 5K honors the life of Cody Ponder, the former d i re c to r o f t ra n sp o r t a tion for OU Parking and Transportation Services. Ponder pass ed away in November 2013 after a period of fighting esophageal cancer, during which he received treatment at OU’s Stephenson Cancer Center. W h i l e t h e r u n ra i s e d around $15,000 and had 267 participants last year, organizers hope to raise $20,000 and register more than 300 runners this year, s a i d Jo h n n i e - Ma r ga re t McConnell, director of OU’s Student Learning Center and Ponder’s widow. Profits from the run will benefit the Cody Ponder Emergency Endowment Fund. The fund will assist

patients undergoing treatment at the Stephenson Cancer Center because of a need that Ponder and McConnell saw in their time at Stephenson, McConnell said.

“We chose to keep the run going to honor his family’s effort as well as to raise awareness about the cost involved with cancer treatment.” JOHNNIE-MARGARET MCCONNELL, DIRECTOR OF OU’S STUDENT LEARNING CENTER

“ We ov e rh e a rd ma n y families around us discussing how they would have to make changes if they would be able to pay a bill,” McConnell said. “The fund helps current cancer patients at Stephenson with immediate needs like buying groceries, paying a bill or providing lessons for their children, so that their lives are as uninterrupted as possible during treatment.” McConnell said that while Cody’s family held

the first run in Ardmore four years ago, they moved the run to Norman the next year in order to honor Cody’s life at OU. “We chose to keep the run going to honor his family’s effort as well as to raise awareness about the cost involved with cancer treatment,” McConnell said. “He was a leader on the regional level, a member of Norman Chamber leaders and was active in several area nonprofits,” said McConnell, who also noted Cody’s passion for his job at OU. “He really believed that providing transportation could help people better their lives.” O n -s i t e re g i s t r a t i o n opens at 7:30 a.m., while the 5K will begin at 8:30 a.m., and the 1-Mile Fun Walk will begin at 8:40 a.m. For those who wish to donate but cannot attend the run, ghost runners are available, McConnell said. A ghost runner will participate in place of the absent donor. Registration is open until the 5K begins at 8:30 a.m. Emma Keith

Big Event draws big numbers More volunteers sign up for day of service than ever KAYLA BRANCH @Kayla_branch

More volunteers than ever before have registered to participate in the Big Event, OU’s largest annual community service event. About 5,600 students have registered to help clean, paint, haul debris and more for more than 100 different organizations for the event, said Jordin Rice, nursing freshman and special events coordinator for Big Event. This year’s Big Event will take place Saturday and it is a way for students to serve the communities of the greater Oklahoma City area. The organizations that participate in Big Event range from churches to schools to government agencies like the Norman Parks and Recreation department. Suzanne Terry, the program coordinator for the department, requested 10 students to help fill 1,000 goodie bags for Norman’s 15th annual Earth Day festival and to clean two Norman parks. She said the department has had great experiences with Big Event in the past. “Students provide great

help for an intense period of time so great things can get done,” Terry said. “We expect students to be helpful, follow instructions and be on time.” Tiffany Dixon, the principal of Roosevelt Elementary School, another organization that requested Big Event volunteers, said she believes Big Event has the power to bring the community closer. “There is a big connection between the Norman public schools and OU,” Dixon said. Dixon said she took note of how appreciative the kids and teachers are to have college students who are eager to help. She said volunteers have in the past helped clean an area of land behind the elementary school students’ playground area and that she hopes students realize how impactful their time is to schools, especially because of recent budget cuts to the state education system. “We hope to see them enjoy the community service they do, because it’s important,” Dixon said. This year, the elementary school requested 200 volunteers to help clean and haul debris from the land the volunteers have worked on in the past, Dixon said. She also said she wants the volunteers to rebuild a stage the elementary students have previously used for presentations. The area was donated 20 years

Fomer OU student involved in Panama Papers publication DERRIC CUSHMAN @derric_cushman

A former Daily reporter and OU student played a significant role in the publication of a series of stories causing protests for political figures’ resignations and outcry across the world. For mer D ai ly repor ter Ryan Chittum reported one of the biggest stories of the year Sunday with the publication of the Panama Papers for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The Panama Papers refer to a leak from one of the world’s largest offshore law firms, Mossack Fonseca in Panama. Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee who in 2013 leaked classified National Security Agency information without authorization, called the papers the biggest leak in data journalism history. In the Panama Papers leak, approximately 11.5 million files containing financial and legal records of various domestic and international companies, politicians, celebrities, criminals and public officials were exposed. Chittum said this totaled more than two terabytes of data.

“What we’ve reported is less than 1 percent of what we’ve found,” Chittum said. “I think it’s the most interesting 1 percent, but there’s still a lot there we’ve yet to report.” ICIJ, German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and numerous other media outlets from around the world helped break the stor y. Initially, the information was gathered from an anonymous source that reached out to Süddeutsche Zeitung months ago, Chittum said. Chittum helped ICIJ coordinate news organizations from around the world with more than 370 journalists in 76 different countries to comb through the information in the Panama Papers documents. The data consists of emails, cash transfers and information on shell companies held by the many clients of Mossack Fonseca. Showing the scope of the story, multiple news and media outlets from around the globe are reporting on the Panama Papers, including CNN, The New York Times and the BBC. Chittum said popular names are present throughout the documents. Domestic and international stars and political figures such as actor and martial artist Jackie Chan, Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Iceland Prime Minister Sigmundur

opportunity to come together for an important cause. “The Big Event brings all these different organizations from OU together,” Petersen said. “Even if you are registered as an individual, you are still able to help with people who want to do the same things you do.”

People gather to demonstrate against Iceland’s prime minister in Reykjavik on Monday. Iceland’s prime minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson insisted Monday he would not resign after documents leaked in a media investigation allegedly link him to an offshore company that could represent a serious conflict of interest, according to information leaked from a Panamanian law firm at the center of an international tax evasion scheme.

Davíð Gunnlaugsson are all mentioned in the Panama Papers documents. C h i t t u m s a i d G u n n l a u g s s o n r e c e n tly submitted his resignation after Chittum released a n a r t i c l e h i g h l i g ht i n g Gunnlaugsson’s transgressions. Chittum said it appears Gunnlaugsson has millions of dollars concealed in an offshore account. Chittum said he takes great pride in reporting on the Panama Papers. He

said one of his main takeaways from the experience is how much it can mean to a reporter’s life and career to be a part of a story that has worldwide implications. “We work in the U.S. and we have all these freedoms. We can write what we want and say what we want and not worry about getting killed or thrown in prison,” Chittum said. “People are taking their lives in their hands in some of these countries like Africa, Russia

or Latin America. They’re risking a lot to report this, and it’s really inspiring to those of us in the states to see that. It’s been the best thing about this to me. Those journalists are real heroes.” Derric Cushman

Tax cuts pinch school budgets Decreased funding for education one effect of state crisis EMMA KEITH @shakeitha_97

Oklahoma’s state budget crisis and falling tax revenue are squeezing education at all levels, and ideas to raise revenue are struggling to gain traction in the legislature. Though several other sources support education funding, state taxes are significant contributors to education. Income tax, sales tax and gross production tax, which comes from oil and gas production, are the three biggest contributors, said Gene Perry, policy director with the Oklahoma Policy Institute. “Revenue has gone down pretty significantly,” Perry said of state e ducation funds from taxes. “For a combination of reasons — most recently it’s gone down very dramatically as the economy has struggled with the downturn in oil and gas prices.” But Perry also said education funding struggles began before oil and gas revenue plummeted. “We passed a series of fairly large tax cuts to the income tax especially,” said Perry. “We passed a very large cut to the gross production tax. The revenue from oil and gas drilling went down ver y significantly compared to prior times when gas prices were high.” Even this year, Oklahoma has ignored the education crisis to cut taxes simply because the tax cuts were s c h e d u l e d i n p re v i o u s years, Perry said. According to numbers from OK Policy, 2016 brought a cut to the state income tax that lowered the tax’s top rate to 5 percent. This rate has steadily decreased since 2004, when the tax ’s top rate was 6.65 percent. This rate drop, while only affecting

the income tax, has now cost the state $1.022 billion total in revenue loss, according to OK Policy. Oklahoma’s education budget crisis is a result of purposeful government agendas, said Alexander Holmes, an OU economics professor who served as budget director for Oklahoma from 1987 to 1991. “I don’t call it a crisis because it’s what they wanted it to be. It is the result of thoughtful behavior on the part of the administration of the government,” Holmes said. “They don’t want to spend money on public services. It is worthy of congratulations that all government services will receive less money — they have met their goal.“ Holmes also noted tax cuts’ significant contribution to the downturn in education funding. “We’ve been giving away the personal income tax, we’ve been giving away the gross production taxes,” said Holmes. “This is the result of very careful planning over a decade.” Oklahoma faces some serious financial challenges in the year to come, Perry said, and not just in education. “Right now, Oklahoma is lo oking at a massive shortfall for next year,” said Perry. “It’s estimated at $1.3 billion, and if nothing is done to find revenue to close some of that shortfall besides just cutting budgets, that would mean about 14 percent across the board cuts to education and every other area of government.” But Perry also said there a re p l e nt y o f p ro p o s e d solutions to ease education funding cuts, including OU President David Boren’s proposed penny tax initiative. “A lot of people are arguing for rolling back or at least delaying the most recent cut to the income tax,” Perry said. “OK Policy has suggested an increase to the gas tax just while gas

prices are low. People can pay a little bit more at the pump because gas prices are so low anyway, and it would help counter-balance the plunging revenues from oil and gas production when those prices are low.” Holmes said the avoidance of solutions to close the budget gap is part of the plan. “They gave the tax base away over and over again, even in the face of a billion-dollar deficit.

Holmes said. “ T h e re a re i d e a s o u t there, but at least so far, there’s been not any action at all by the legislature to adopt any of these ideas,” Perry said. “As of now, the legislature does not seem to be taking seriously the s i tu at i o n a n d d o e s n o t seem to be looking at the kinds of real revenue options that we would need to avoid some very harmful cuts to education and a lot of other areas.” Emma Keith

OKLAHOMA’S BUDGET CRISIS • According to OK Policy, 2016 brought a cut to the state income tax that lowered the tax’s top rate to 5 percent • The rate has decreased since 2004 when the top rate was 6.65 percent. • Policy director Gene Perry says Oklahoma is looking at a $1.3 billion

dollar shortfall for next year. • Perry said if nothing is done to close the shortfall, it will result in about a 14 percent cut to education and other areas of the government. • Perry mentioned proposed solutions to ease education funding cuts, including OU President David Boren’s proposed penny tax initiative.

Retired professor’s book snags best-seller spot Work sees surge in popularity after release of hit film MARY SMITH

@marysmitty21

Forty-three years after it was first published, a book written by a retired OU professor has finally gained significant national attention thanks to a recent motion picture. Win Blevins’ book “Give Your Heart to the Hawks: A Tribute to the Mountain Men” made the New York Times best-seller list on March 20 despite being published in 1973. The reason for the surge in its popularity can be linked to the Academy Award-winning movie “The Revenant,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Both Blevins’ book and the film are based on the story of Hugh Glass, a mountain man who lived in the early 19th century. With the success of the film, Blevins pushed for his book to be promoted the day of the Academy Awards, his wife, Meredith Blevins said. That push garnered “Give Your Heart to the Hawks” the attention it had lacked in past decades, and it became a best seller. Blevins found it funny that his book finally made the New York Times best-seller list after all this time. “It was a hoot,” he said. “I spent the whole day laughing. You can hardly think of anything sillier than that. To miss it once and to get on it unexpectedly 43 years later.” Instead of feeling frustrated that a movie with the

men kept journals and many parts of their stories were documented, the topic of mountain men just is not widely known in America, despite playing such a big role in the exploration of the West, Meredith Blevins said. Shortly before writing the book, Win Blevins worked in Los Angeles at different publications. At one work party, he and a friend began recounting different mountain men adventures, attracting the attention of a man who

owned a book publishing company, he said. He was approached by the publisher and asked to write about mountain men, so the next day he resigned from the newspaper where he worked and began his bookwriting career, he said. Tired of the city and writing movie reviews, Blevins said he felt liberated by his choice. For a period of time he worked as a river guide and rock climbed as a way to immerse himself in the world of mountain men, he said. Seeing and doing what the mountain men did helped Blevins understand what their lives were like, he said. “The West works to help you discover who you are and what you want to write,” Meredith Blevins said. After publishing “Give Your Heart to the Hawks,” Blevins has worked on dozens of Western historical fictions, three of which he wrote with his wife, who is also an author. Because of his many contributions to modern Western literature, Blevins received the Owen Wister Award in 2015 for lifetime achievement in writing literature of the West. Current OU instructor Jocelyn Pedersen, Blevins’ friend and former student, was there to document that day and said she could not have been more proud of him. “It was really neat to see him win an award for all his hard work over the years,” Pedersen said. Pedersen was one of his students around 2009 to 2010 and took some of the classes he taught at the Gaylord College of Journalism, she

said. “I learned so much from Win about the business of writing and how to be creative,” Pedersen said. “He and his wife have taught me more through conversation than I could learn out of reading several books.” After retiring from OU in 2012, Blevins has continued to write and edit others’ books before they go to publishing, Pedersen said. It does not seem like his writing career is anywhere near over because it is what he loves to do the most. “If he goes a week without writing, it’s because he’s sick,” Meredith Blevins said. “It’s like an addiction. He just never stops.” Mary Smith

While it is just a glorified practice, the magnitude of the game’s role as the final showcase of the spring is not lost on the Sooners. “The competition level I’m sure w ill be higher be caus e w e know what comes with the spring game,� sophomore cornerback PJ Mbanasor said. “Mechanics, technique — those will all be the same, but you have to make sure you pay attention to those more because what we’ve been doing all spring has led up to this and the fall to come, so it’s pretty important.� It may be just a practice, but it is the only practice of the year that is broadcasted

live on television and the only one the program sells tickets to. For Parker though, it’s just another scrimmage. “You’re going all the way down to the ground, which you probably don’t do that much in practice, so it’s a little different,� Parker said, “but at the same time, I just don’t let the light get too

Oklahoma will take the field in uniform and play for a few thousand adoring fans in its annual spring game on Saturday. While it may not be quite the same, the spring game is the closest thing to real football that fans will get until September, which makes it worth getting excited about in the eyes of many. The players, however, don’t seem to buy into the hype. “ I kind of lo ok at the spring game more as just a practice — an open practice is what I like to say,� junior safety Steven Parker said. “So that’s something that I’ll probably tell the younger guys that haven’t played in it. It’s more just an open practice in my eyes, and I don’t know how you want to see it in your eyes, but don’t let the light be too big. Just go out there, have fun, make plays and move around.�

Injuries not on players’ minds

Coaches keeping tabs on health as spring progresses SCOTT HINEY @scotthiney

After a week that saw both Du’ Vonta Lampkin and Charles Walker suffer injuries, it gave rise to the idea of how hard players should go during spring practice when so much is at risk. For players, they find that it’s best to just play as normal, hoping that everything g o e s s m o o t h ly w i t h ou t issue. “ I m e a n w h e n you ’ re playing, you don’t want to play reckless, but you just don’t go out there with the mindset of ‘I can’t get hurt,’� Dakota Austin said. “I mean, if it happens it happens.� With an already inexperienced and somewhat hurting linebacking unit, guys

a great job of looking at the reports of who’s doing what and how long they’ve ran.� The team utilizes motion-tracking gear that allows coaches to have extensive knowledge of how their players are b eing used, including their physical stamina beyond simply asking the player. “We get reports every day that kind of monitor what they’ve done with their legs — explosive movements and things of that matter. So you look at the reports and just kind of monitor and be smart with the reps.� As the team gears up SIANDHARA BONNET/THE DAILY for its spring game this Junior cornerback Dakota Austin pulls down Texas Tech junior wide receiver Reginald Davis Oct. 24, 2015.

Junior defensive tackle filling position’s vocal void Matthew Romar expected to lead defensive line SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

Oklahoma’s defensive line is expected to be a strength in the 2016 season, but the Sooners will have to replace vocal leader Charles Tapper. Leading the charge to take Tapper’s place is junior defensive tackle Matthew Romar. A Port Arthur, Texas, native, Romar recorded 23 tackles as a sophomore, but new defensive line coach Calvin Thibodeaux is looking for him to take a leadership role. “He’s got to really, accept that role,� Thibodeaux said. “He’s fighting it, but I truly believe if I want something said or I want something done,

he’s the guy that can get it done. When he talks, he’s kind of the alpha dog in our group, and they listen.� Thibodeaux, who was hired to replace Diron Reynolds as the Sooners’ defensive line coach in February, played in Norman from 2002 to 2006. He knows what it will take for Romar to step in as that vocal leader. “I struggled with it at times, but when it’s important to you, and it means something to you, at some point, it’s just going to come out,� Thibodeaux said. Romar is a veteran on a relatively young defensive line filled with young talent— a group he hopes Romar will help lead — and Thibodeaux is excited about the future. Among the young standouts has been sophomore

Marquise Overton. “He’s been consistent throughout this whole spring,� Thibodeaux said of Overton. “Sometimes you take that for granted, but I don’t as a coach. He does his job, and he does it well. He uses great technique, so I’m excited about him. He’s a guy that I know can go into a game and run our defense and be effective.� Along with Overton, Thibodeaux will have highly-touted players like Du’ Vonta Lampkin and Neville Gallimore to work with this season. “The thing about Neville is that all the tools are there,� Thibodeaux said of the talented sophomore. “You say, ‘hey, it’s hard to build a statue without the tools.’ He has the tools. He’s going to be a great player one day. My job is to simplify things and let him use

his athletic ability. But all the tools are there. He’s a strong, explosive kid. At some point that light’s going to click, and you’re going to look up, and he’s going to be a great player for us.� Overton and Gallimore could both play big roles for the Sooners’ defensive line in 2016. And as the Sooners close the doors on spring practice, Thibodeaux is confident Romar can be their leader — one way or another. “He’s a guy that leads by example,� Thibodeaux said. “He doesn’t say a lot, but when he does say something, it comes from the heart, and they listen, so you want to get him to talk more.� Spenser Davis

Tour group looking for unique new comedians Contest coming to Norman for open auditions Thursday LAMA AGHA @LamaAgha

The next Chris Rock could be found at the “Make Me Laugh” stand-up comedy contest in Norman Friday. The “Make Me Laugh” stand-up comedy contest will be making its way to Norman for the X-Country Comedy Tour. The contest encourages comedy, and comedians from all over the nation to spread their laughter to audiences.

Empire,” the W. Kamau Bell show and more. “I’m inspired every day by live comedy and audiences all over the world,” said Frigolette. “I couldn’t imagine not performing for a group of strangers, and my job is also what I do for fun. It’s what sustains me; it’s everything. I get to talk about farting if I want to in front of groups of people; what could be better?” There are nine contestants so far this year, Chad Hoskins, Brett James, Anthony Woska, Julia Drake, LaVell Harris, Andrew Rose, Jessi Kyle, Brad Ruekberg and Stan Silliman.

“Laughter is almost always accompanied by realization; it’s the most fun way to learn, and I like sharing that and thinking with groups of people. It’s one of the best ways to truly connect with people.” ANDREW FRANK, “MAKE ME LAUGH” ST. LOUIS WINNER

“‘Make Me Laugh’ standup comedy contest is looking for the funniest comedians in Oklahoma City to join the X-Country Comedy Tour,” said founder Dan Frigolette. “ The contest, which takes place over three rounds in April, has already found talent in seven major cities, and each city crowns its own champion and offers comedy opportunities that extend for years.” Frigolette is a full-time comedian who has been on “The Wendy Williams S h o w ,” “ B o a r d w a l k

Slots for the contest are still open for anyone to come to open auditions on Thursday, April 7, at 8 p.m. at 51st Street Speakeasy in Oklahoma City. “We are going to pick the funniest comedian in Oklahoma City over three rounds of contest and give them a bunch of prizes and future shows,” said Frigolette. “You will see a pile of hilarious comedians from Oklahoma City, along with national touring comedians.” The contest will hold live auditions, as well as allow

online submissions. After auditions, the talents will be broken into semifinals and final rounds. The top three contestants from the semifinals will make it to the finals, with only one winner chosen. The winner will receive complimentary head shots, business cards, local interviews and the opportunity to join the tour. Individuals interested in auditioning may submit a four to six minute video online at www.LaughUSA. org. Individuals who submit online have the opportunity to go straight to the finals. The contest will consist of celebrity judges, including Frigolette, NPR correspondent Ryan Drake, OKC rapper Josh Sallee, CEO of Elite Productions Waylon Clark and “Make Me Laugh” St. Louis winner Andrew Frank. Frank looks for a contestant who is a little bit different than the rest of the comedians that take the stage. “I look for a unique perspective, style and substance,” Frank said. “I want to see someone who knows who they are and can communicate that to an audience of strangers; I look for passionate individuals who possess the ethic necessary to fulfill their creative potential.” Frank started comedy at the age of 15. His first performance was at his high school talent show, and for the past eight years, he has put his all into comedy. Comedy is Frank’s fullt i m e c a r e e r, a n d h e i s
