NAVIGATING NORMAN Road construction won’t clear up anytime soon
NORMAN BUSINESSES FEELING AN IMPACT
Because so much of Norman is under construction, The Daily put together a guide to some of the roads that are closed and under construction. Here’s how to interpret our map: 1
Denotes a business, which will line up with a quote to the right Denotes a road closure — take a detour or alternate route Denotes an area under construction — you might hit traffic here
We asked Norman business owners and managers how citywide road construction has affected their businesses. Here’s what they said: 1. Ross Dress for Less Frankie Henthorn, store manager: “We’ve been impacted significantly. We’re hard to get to, so a lot of people just go to the Moore Ross instead. They reconstructed Ed Noble Parkway right in front of us last month, so pretty much the last 30 to 90 days have been terrible.” 2. Home Depot Jack Lacey, operations manager: “Very much so. (It started) probably right when the construction started. We have probably 10 calls a day asking, ‘what’s the best way to get there?’ It started when the overpass was closed.”

3. Gaberino’s Homestyle Italian Laura Duprez, owner: “Business is down, honestly. It’s hard to know what to attribute that to— hard to know what the reason is. There are a lot of new restaurants in the University Town Center, which I think people are checking out, so I think that has hurt business a little bit. The construction — I’m glad we’re not on Lindsey Street, for sure.”

4. Boot Barn Becky Allen, assistant manager: “Oh, it’s killed us. It’s affected our business a lot — it has dropped dramatically. (It started) whenever they closed down Lindsey — when they were working on Main Street, it was just a little bad. Customers have complained. They’re used to following the billboards, and now they can’t do that because the exits to get here are closed.” 5. Applebee’s Kevin Ford, manager: “It actually hasn’t. Chili’s closed about a month ago on this side of town. Our business stayed the same. We’re hoping to see more growth when construction ends, but for now, the construction on the outer road hasn’t even affected us.” For more responses from local businesses, go to oudaily.com. compiled by: Emma Keith, @shakeitha_97

TANNER OSBORNE • @TANNEROSBEAR
ngoing construction projects across No r m a n h av e l e f t many city streets closed and congested, and the work will not be finished soon. Claudia Deakins, Norman’s chief communications officer, said some of the construction projects around the city are for road improvement, while others are utility projects. Many of these projects have caused portions of streets to close or have created heavier traffic than normal. Deakins said some of the street closures are due to routine street maintenance, and some are part of a Robinson Street waterline replacement project. Others, she added, are a result of a repair program financed with federal relief funds. The various projects are being handled by different organizations. The construction at the Lindsey Street bridge, which goes over Interstate 35, is being ma na g e d by t h e O k l a h o ma Department of Transportation. The waterline replacement project is a city project and has
resulted in a number of lane and median closings along Robinson Street, Deakins said. A road improvement project, managed by the city, has resulted in lane closures on Main Street between Flood Avenue and Pickard Avenue. According to a June press release from the city of Norman, that construction will last for several months. However, at least one lane in each direction will remain open for traffic. The Lindsey Street ramps off I-35 are closed and will remain closed until early 2017, said Cody Boyd, a spokesman for the ODOT. Highway 9 is also undergoing an improvement project, which is being handled by ODOT. A short span of Berry Road is also closed just south of Robinson Street. A construction endeavor of this magnitude does not come without cost. The waterline replacement project, responsible for the closures of several Robinson Street junctions, will cost $3.4 million, Deakins said. “Norman is investing millions of dollars in infrastructure in the community to enhance the
quality of life and improve infrastructure for many years to come,” Deakins said. “In terms of utility projects, this is a rather large one.” Deakins said the current waterline is deteriorating, especially between 24th Avenue Northwest and 36th Avenue Northwest, and due to the deteriorated state, the waterline could burst and cause unplanned road closures. Boyd said studies from past years show that about 155,000 vehicles use I-35 each day in Oklahoma, and between 80,000 and 90,000 vehicles go through the Lindsey Street ramp area of I-35 every day. He added that onsite engineers have seen more congestion on Highway 9 and Main Street due to the closing of the Lindsey Street on-ramp. “It’s a very complex project, trying to keep traffic moving throughout,” Boyd said. Despite the road closures around the city, some OU freshmen who moved in Aug. 18 were not bothered by it. Freshman Rachel Willmann said traffic was bad getting into the city. However, after
getting through the rough patches, Willmann said the simplicity of the move-in process made up for the heavy traffic. Inte r i o r d e sig n f re s h ma n Norma Gomez said the traffic was not bad getting in. “It was a pretty good flow,” Gomez said. “It wasn’t that kind of stuck-in-place traffic … It was flowing, but a bit slow.” Boyd said ODOT is communicating with OU about what streets and detours would be most effective for rerouting traffic during construction. There were no special plans put into place to accommodate move-in day traffic, he said. Boyd said ODOT will keep an eye out for football traffic in the coming weeks as OU’s season nears. “There will definitely be some growing pains this year,” Boyd said. Tanner Osborne

Students raise awareness, donations for North Dakota pipeline protesters A graduate assistant led an effort Tuesday to collect food and monetary donations in support of groups protesting a pipeline that will run through North Dakota. In the Copeland Hall offices of OU’s department of Native American Studies, OU graduate research assistant Corey Still collected $250 in donations as well as nonperishable food and camping supplies. Still, the national president of Sigma Nu Alpha Gamma, a Native American fraternity, said collecting the donations was a statewide effort. “As a national board, we decided that we wanted to do something to help raise donations and raise awareness about what is going on,” Still said. On Wednesday, Still took the supplies and donations gathered to northeast Oklahoma, where a group of supporters will gather all the donations and leave Thursday morning for North Dakota. Still said one of the issues with the Dakota Access pipeline and other pipelines is that they go through and SIANDHARA BONNET/THE DAILY around the main water supply “and not just indigenous Protest leaders for No Plains Pipeline speak to the media before the board meeting about the Plains All American Red River peoples’ water sources — all people’s water sources,” he Pipeline proposal at Norman city council chambers Wednesday. said. “This is a gathering of multiple nations from across the country going out to there to support this and to support the rights of our water,” Still said.

Protesters speak out against pipeline permit Proposal to install Red River Pipeline draws controversy ABBY BITTERMAN @Abby_Bitterman
More than 25 protesters gathered at the Norman city council chambers to protest a permit granted to install a pipeline that will run through a southeast portion of the city. The protest was during the Wednesday Norman Board of Adjustment meeting, in which board members were supposed to hear a proposal to repeal the permit granted by the Norman Floodplain Permit Committee to the Plains All American Red
River Pipeline. Before the hearing began, protesters gathered outside the city council chambers, holding a tribal flag and signs. They also chanted, “No water, no life, no Plains Pipeline.” Stephen Ellis, an associate professor of philosophy at OU, argued before the Board of Adjustment that the Floodplain Permit Committee should not have granted the permit for the pipeline. After Ellis spoke, Adam Hall, a representative for Plains All American Pipeline, claimed Ellis was not qualified to make the appeal because he is not geographically affected by the pipeline.
After Hall’s claim, one of the board members motioned to vote on whether Ellis was eligible to argue. Eventually, the board voted 2-2 that Ellis did not have the standing to argue and could not speak further following the board’s vote. Protesters were upset because only four of the five Board of Adjustment members were present at the meeting. After the board members voted, the protesters chanted loudly again, which continued for several minutes after the hearing ended. “B e caus e one pers on failed to show up and do their job tonight, we have this,” Casey Holcomb, a co-organizer of the protest,

A new study shows that married couples who watch pornography are more likely to divorce. Samuel Perry, an OU assistant professor in the department of sociology, helped conduct the study. “I had been looking at marital quality,” Perry said. “That’s how I got interested in this topic. I was looking at what made marriages work.” Perry surveyed the same subjects in multiple waves from 2006 to 2014. Perry’s study said the likelihood of divorce for subjects who began pornography use between survey waves nearly doubled. The likelihood of divorce for women who began pornography use between survey waves nearly tripled, the study says. Through the use of this longitudinal data, Perry said researchers “are able to say with more confidence that we think it’s actually pornography use that’s predicting marital dissolution.” The researchers were not able to tell whether the couples who began pornography use were looking at pornography individually or together, Perry said. However, previous data suggests “the negative effects of pornography use on a romantic relationship are typically for those couples where only one person is viewing pornography alone.” Abby Bitterman, @abby_bitterman

We’re just really concerned about this oil and the potential for it to burst, and it will burst.” Board members could not be reached for comment following the meeting. Ellis has 10 days to appeal the board’s decision to deem him ineligible to argue.

Player sidelined once again Redshirt freshman suffer from seasonending injury KELLI STACY @AstacyKelli
Head coach Bob Stoops announced Aug. 19 to his team that redshirt freshman running back Rodney Anderson suffered a season-ending injury for the second year in a row. A n d e r s o n ’s t e a m mat e s were surprised and upset, but none understood Anderson’s pain quite as well as wide receiver Jordan Smallwood. Smallwood has faced similar challenges — breaking his foot during the 2013 preseason and suffering from a torn ACL in his left knee during spring practice in 2015. “ I w a s c r u s h e d ,” Smallwood said. “I know what it feels like, and so the process of everything is just hard. I called him and told him, ‘I’m here for you whenever, no matter what it is, just give me a call. I know the whole situation, the feeling, and we’ll get through this together, and the whole team’s going to be here, too, so no matter what, I mean, you still got all of us.’” Smallwood and Anderson rehabbed together during the 2015 season after Anderson broke his leg while playing special teams against Tennessee, so the news of Anderson’s injury was especially hard for the redshirt junior. “We rehabbed really hard together, so we definitely understand the process,” Smallwood said. “He knows I’m all the way in when it comes to, ‘hey, let’s do it together again. I’m going to

Football team chooses leaders Sooners select four captains for upcoming season SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser
Junior quarterback Baker Mayfield and junior running back Samaje Perine were named the offensive captains for the 2016 football season, the team announced on Monday. Mayfield and Perine are joined by senior linebacker Jordan Evans and senior safety Ahmad Thomas. The team captains were selected by the players. “These four guys have been excellent leaders for us on and off the field and represent our program in an extremely positive manner with the example they set every day,” coach Bob
Stoops said in a press release. “They also have a great pulse of the team and will govern everyone in a positive way.” Mayfield finished fourth in the 2015 Heisman Trophy voting and won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year ; The Sooners won the conference and continued in the College Football Playoff. Perine needs just 1,056 rushing yards to tie the school record for career rushing yards. Thomas started all 13 ga m e s l a s t s e a s o n a n d snatched three interceptions. Evans is the only returning starter at linebacker this season. The Norman native had five tackles for loss last season and was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team by Big 12 coaches. He joins his father, Scott, who was a two-time captain and a three-time
all-conference defensive tackle for the Sooners from 1988-90. “You know, my dad went here, and he was actually a two-year captain here,” Evans said. “So I kind of did follow in his footsteps getting the captain as well, so it means a lot, and I’m thankful that they voted for me. I don’t think he knew at first. He told me to call him, so I figured he knew, but he was really talking about other stuff.” His dad didn’t let Evans forget that he had an additional year of captainship over him. “He said, ‘just so you know I was a two-year captain, so I got you beat on that,’” Evans said with a smile. “He was proud.” Spenser Davis

“Coach Stoops announced it to the team, and you just heard a gasp. You know, he’s a great person and everybody loves him as a person, so it just hurts to see one of our own go down like that.” Offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said Anderson is one of the more resilient players he’s been around, so he is confident that Anderson will bounce back from this injury. “It makes you sick to your stomach,” Riley said of
Anderson’s injury. “That’s the emotion I had when they told me — just flat out sick to my stomach. He’s done everything right, and you hate for any kid, but especially a guy like that, that’s worked his tail off. You know, he’s already had a couple of tough, just freaklike deals, but the confidence you have in a kid like that — he’ll bounce back just like he did from his last one, and he’ll be ready to go.” After an impressive fall camp, Anderson was looking to see playing time this season behind the power back duo of Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon. Those reps will now likely go to redshirt senior Daniel Brooks, with some help from true freshman Abdul Adams. Brooks had 28 carries for 150 yards last season, while Adams has been a constant source of praise during camp. Running backs coach Jay Boulware wasn’t sure where the team would go for backfield depth, but he says they have options with Brooks and Adams in the fold. “B eing knowle dgable and all that stuff is going to take some time,” Boulware said of the true freshman Ad a m s. “ B u t w e’v e g o t enough players in place right now where it’s going to take some time. He’s got a little time to grow. But he is very, very talented. It remains to be seen whether or not he’s going to be ready for me to put him out there and say, ‘you know what, just go. I’m counting on you, I know you know everything.’ We’re trying to get him there.” Kelli Stacy

Duo turns new page on women’s magazines
OU graduates create safe, open space for readers CHANDLER KIDD @chanannkidd
Two recent OU graduates turned a thought into a reality by creating a lifestyle magazine written by women and for women with the hope to celebrate imperfection and honesty. The idea for Beloved came to Lark Reely in November of 2014 and became a business in January of 2015 for herself and Kaitie Holland. “Today, Beloved is run by a team of 35 women and mentors who work to create a comfortable, vulnerable space,� Reely said. “I have read magazines

like Allure, Cosmopolitan, Darling and many others, but I never felt like I was the target audience,� she said. “I especially wanted a magazine that didn’t perpetuate the cycle of
perfectionism.� Beloved’s mission allows writers and readers to be understood, encouraged and challenged by pledging to “embrace confusion and
mistakes as our perspectives change day-by-day,� Reely said. Beloved is published biannually, and each issue incorporates a little bit of “the mess of life,� she said. The magazine has a unique brand and message; every issue is centered around one characteristic or theme and is written by women who are experiencing that subject. Beloved’s third issue, “The Bloom Issue,� focused on the dark part of being a 20-something woman in today’s society. The magazine also touches on issues such as eating disorders, faith and anxiety. “It is hard to find someone willing to be vulnerable. Nobody really wants it, but it is necessary,� Reely said. “There is freedom of letting
light into darkness.� Holland, the magazine’s content editor, said her favorite thing about Beloved is the team. “There is a lot of open discussion about where the magazine will go next,� Holland said. “Your voice is always heard, and for every issue, we go at it with a lot of honesty. The magazine provides a haven of beauty and grace for young women by allowing writers to write stories about their experiences. “(The magazine) is a safe place for women to read things they care about and can relate to. It is just an authentic magazine that everyone can relate to,� she said. Olivia Abiassi, Beloved’s videographer, shoots videos and conducts interviews to
raise money and awareness of what Beloved is all about. “Beloved impacted me in a positive way by allowing me to connect not only with my creative outlets but also with other young women at my university or city,� Abiassi said. “Beloved dispels the confusion of womanhood through the hardest time of a young woman’s life.� The magazine asks its writers and readers not to hide, Reely said. “We want to be perfect all the time. We are just hiding shame,� she said. “I love Beloved because you are asking people to not hide. Through writing, you can ask people to come out.� Chandler Kidd

Sami’s take on The Mont’s queso
I am home in Texas. So, I did what any devoted dip-maker would do: I grabbed my Crock-Pot and began experimenting. I created a recipe that tastes pretty darn close to the savory and seasoned flavors of The Mont’s famous queso. I asked several of my OU friends to be taste-testers, and their feedback was unanimous: I could fool almost anyone into thinking my dip came straight from The Mont’s kitchen. I am sharing my recipe in order to give back to all my fellow Mont queso-lovers who are not able to visit the beloved restaurant as frequently as I am. Hopefully, I can add a slow cooker favorite to your future tailgates and OU watch parties!

OPINION
Emily McPherson, opinion editor dailyopinion@ou.edu • phone: 405-325-3666 oudaily.com/opinion • Twitter: @OUDailyOpinion
Our View: Change must continue Daily staff commits to community engagement
THE EDITORIAL BOARD
Our view: In many ways, this new semester is a fresh start, but it’s also a time when we need to address lingering issues. Our campus is still trying to heal from the SAE scandal that thrust the university’s racial tensions into the spotlight. The Daily has been fairly criticized for not fully interacting with our community and, instead, simply reporting on it from our little bubble, something our editor-in-chief addressed earlier this week. Mental health resources on campus have improved in the past year, but are still lacking. Stigmas around mental illnesses remain a problem on this campus and around the country, as well. We saw another tuition hike this semester thanks to a cut in state funding, and it’s clear that education in Oklahoma is simply not valued by our lawmakers. This semester, we want to play a larger role in finding solutions. We don’t want to just report on things as they happen — we want to have an active part in implementing change on our campus. Let’s make this crystal clear: The Daily strives to be the

independent student voice of the university, but we can’t claim to reflect the student body without your voices. We want to engage with you more than simply reading your Facebook comments and Twitter responses. We want to share your stories — what you’re passionate about. We’re making a conscious effort to be part of this community — we’re committing as an editorial board to go to one lecture, town hall, group meeting, movie night or other event at least once a week. We won’t go as reporters or editors, but as
people. We hope that’ll give us a better feel for the stories you want us to tell, and we always encourage guest columns, letters to the editor and responses to articles in our opinion section. We want our staff to better reflect the student body, too. We’re currently working on ramping up our work study program to offer more opportunities for students to be paid for the work they’re doing in Student Media. We know that by mainly offering volunteer positions, we’re limiting who can work at The Daily. We’re working to
change that. We’ve added a mental health beat to our news desk this year because we want to dedicate resources to mental health coverage. As students, we know the stressful atmosphere of college can cause or exacerbate mental health issues, and it only seems right that our university be able to provide the best possible care for its students. OU President David Boren responded to our coverage last year of mental health resources on campus by hiring an additional psychiatrist, but there is still work to be done.
Therefore, we will continue to tell students’ stories until stigmas are eradicated and quality care can be accessed in a timely manner. We also strive to be a reasonable, dependable source of information within this particularly tumultuous election cycle. While rumors, biases and accusations fly across the Internet (many, if not most, perpetuated by media outlets themselves), we intend to deliver facts and thoughtful commentary to you. This is not just limited to the national election; our readers depend on us to report on Oklahoma, Norman and OU elections, as well as political issues such as the state budget and President Boren’s penny tax. Finally, we are paying special attention to inclusiveness — both on campus and here at The Daily. We want to make staff positions available to everyone, not just to those who can afford to work a lot for a small amount of pay. We believe diversity and an environment of empathy are crucial parts of a healthy and welcoming campus. This semester, we have one goal in mind: serving you, the student body. We want to prove that to you. As always, we welcome your thoughts, comments and criticisms.
YOUR
VIEW Many freshmen are unaware of the tricks to college life. We asked upperclassmen to give their advice to freshmen on Twitter. Here’s what they had to say on navigating college:
ZOELLER POWERED @stevenzoeller
@OUDaily Lots of professors have degrees hanging in their offices unattended. Steal one to save money and time.
ERIC WAYNE PARKER II @eric_ii
@OUDaily Not to buy books until after you go to class and figure out if you can pass without it.
HAN SOLO @LeslieH_74
@OUDaily Step out of your comfort zone, please please please go to class, and go to office hours at least once for every class.
On Twitter? Stay connected.
