Cannon had been arrested multiple times in Cleveland County over last two months for trespassing, indecent exposure and outraging public decency. Norman’s Police Department issued a statement acknowledging the video and recognizing that its content could appear disturbing. However, the arresting officers’ actions were justified given the circumstances, Norman Police Chief Keith Humphrey said in a statement. “To our Norman community, we have nothing to hide and will be totally transparent as the law will allow. I can assure you that the actions were justified, and hopefully each of you will understand when details are presented in the very near future,” Humphrey said in a statement. “The use of force never looks good, and the application of force by an officer is never received as a positive action by the community.” Humphrey said in the statement that more community education regarding the use of officer force may help combat negative perceptions of the use of such force.

OU students line up Aug. 28 in front of Bizzell Memorial Library for Mu Chi’s initiation ceremony. Mu Chi Is a non-profit, coed fraternity OU and was formed as a way for military veterans to find a place on college campuses.
Veterans find a place on campus New Mu Chi fraternity recruits students DAISY CREAGER NEWS REPORTER Though the military and fraternities might not seem closely related, a group of students is combining the two this fall. Created by advertising senior Drew Hendricks, newly formed coed fraternity Mu Chi is recruiting military vets, active service members and civilians.
A veteran himself, 28-year-old Hendricks is still a sergeant in a division of the reserves for the Marine Corps. Hendricks said he also worked in public relations for the Marine Corps. He created Mu Chi because he sees a lack of communication between veterans and civilians on campus. “Nobody says it, and it’s not malicious, but the military doesn’t have much

International friendships made in OU Cousins program Exchange students make new friends and experience southern culture at OU EMILY SHARP News Reporter @esharp13
International and American students will be paired together at OU Cousins’ kickoff event from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 16 at the Jim Thorpe Multicultural Center. OU Cousins was created in 1996 to pair an international student with a local student who has similar hobbies, general interests and time commitments. The students then go to events together, such as pumpkin carving or a barbecue, said Tanner Ticknor, OU Cousins student director, in an email. Students interested in participating in OU Cousins can register at any time, although Ticknor suggests students register as soon as possible.

“They came to Oklahoma, and we’re trying to give them the best southern experience we can and we have events tailored to that,” Tierney said. “At the end-of-year event ... there’s two-stepping and everyone has cowboy hats and all that. [We’re] just trying to give them the southern feel and get them out of their comfort zone a little bit.” Tierney got involved in OU Cousins because he has a best friend in Japan and studied abroad. Tierney wanted to continue that experience and give foreign exchange students at OU a welcoming experience. Asia Perkins, psychology senior, said her favorite memory as an OU Cousin was the time she took a Chinese foreign exchange student to the OU-Texas game. “It was her first time out of state and traveling the U.S.,” Perkins said. “She was so excited, taking pictures and amazed at everything.” Emily Sharp emily.a.sharp-1@ou.edu

Continued from page 1 wanted to give veterans a different kind of attention than what is offered on campus. “The best thing you can do for a veteran is not give him money; it’s not give her support; it’s giving them something to do,” Hendricks said. “Give them a mission. Give them a purpose beyond active duty service.” The fraternity will put members into groups of one veteran and two civilians to promote unity, Hendricks said. “There’s going to be a lot of accountability and a lot of teaching people how to be accountable for other people,” Hendricks said. “There’s something really powerful about being in an organization that makes people care about other people.” Mu Chi provides an avenue for veterans to help young people by teaching them something that is important in the military: leadership, Hendricks said. “Everything we do in the Marine Corps has to do with developing someone below you so that they can take your position someday, and I notice a severe lack of that on campus,” Hendricks said. “It’s not that college students don’t have the capability. It’s just that there’s not much of a challenge to become leaders.” In addition to teaching leadership skills, veterans can provide insight for students planning on joining the military, Hendricks said. Ca r p e nt e r, t h e Nav a l Reserve Officers Training Corps’ battalion commander, will be commissioned as a naval officer next year. “It really appealed to me to have people with those life experiences I can talk to before I go and do it myself,” Carpenter said. “It will enrich my understanding of the military, which will help me train to be a better officer.” As well as utilizing veterans’ experience and skills,

Origin of the incident Two individuals were walking along Campus Corner down Asp Avenue when Cannon started closely following them, according to the witnesses’ statement given to Norman police. The individuals moved to the side for him to pass, and Cannon wouldn’t pass them. According to the witness statement, the parking attendant near Hurts Donut Company told the individuals Cannon was masturbating behind the individuals. When the individuals turned around, Cannon allegedly took his hand out of his pants and asked the individuals for a cigarette lighter, according to the witness statement. Cannon appeared intoxicated, according to the witness statement. Cannon left after seeing the individuals approaching the building. The witnesses felt “completely uncomfortable” knowing Cannon was following them but were more “disgusted” the parking attendant saw Cannon allegedly masturbating behind them, according to the statement.

Support yOUr theatre programs Our View: OU’s University Theatre’s season starts this month, and students should support fine arts on campus.
OU’s University Theatre season kicks off next week on Sept. 19 with a musical rendition of “Carrie,” and we encourage all students to support their peers by attending the shows. OU President David Boren supports patronage of the arts, and we agree that attending and endorsing arts events is hugely important. On top of all of this, students can receive special reduced prices when purchasing season tickets for University Theatre. And for the first time ever, theatre-goers can buy single tickets to University Theatre online through the college of fine arts’ website. You have until September 14 to The Our View complete the season subscripis the majority tion form and return it to the OU opinion of Fine Arts Box Office. Students The Daily’s can purchase tickets to all nine of nine-member University Theatre’s shows for $75 editorial board or pay $40 for a variety package of four shows; both offers are relative bargains considering students routinely shell out over $100 for a single ticket to the OU-Texas football game. In fact, the variety pack comes out to $10 per show — less than what you would pay to go see a movie — for a live theatre production. Movies can be watched over and over, but each individual theatre production is unique in its human performances. Even better, supporting University Theatre shows the student-actors, production workers and directing crew that OU cares about and appreciates the hours poured into each show’s preparation and execution. We believe attending plays and musicals enhances cultural understanding and provides a higher level of entertainment as opposed to zoning out in front of the TV after

MORE INFO How to buy University Theatre tickets: Ticket packages: Students can buy ticket packages by filling out the University Theatre season subscription form online at ou.edu/finearts/universitytheatre.html and, either mailing it to the OU Fine Arts Box Office, or dropping it off.

Pros and cons of the newly unveiled iPhone GUEST COLUMNIST

esterday, Sept. 9, Apple unveiled its highly-anticipated iPhone 6 and its iPhone 6 Plus in Cupertino, California. Rumors flew for quite some time surrounding both the release date and the specifications of the new cellular device. The newest iPhone includes quite a few changes from recent models, including a different design and larger size. While this column primarily focuses on the iPhone 6, there are certain features of the iPhone 6 Plus to mention. The screen for the iPhone 6 Plus will feature a 5.5-inch screen as opposed to the base model’s 4.7-inch screen. It will also include a 1920 x 1080 resolution as opposed to the iPhone 6’s 1334 x 750 resolution.
cstephens15@ou.edu
• The iPhone 6 will feature an improved camera. It will have increased photo resolution and reduced light pollution from the camera’s flash. • The screen includes a new Retina HD display with a feature called “gaze detection,” which will be able to detect the user’s gaze. This will allow the phone to go to sleep if the user is no longer looking at his or her phone, and may save battery. • Increased storage capacity will be available in the iPhone 6, with the largest option including 128GB of storage. • There will be two size options for this phone, rather than only one. The larger size is predicted to release a few weeks after the smaller model and will be called the iPhone 6 Plus. • The iOS 8 update will include a health monitoring application that may be synched with AppleWatch, another new Apple product.
• While the larger screen size may be nice, it will take some getting used to for users who prefer a smaller phone size. • The phone may be more difficult to fit in a user’s pocket and may also be more challenging to use with one hand. • There is no 32GB option for the iPhone 6. The options are now 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. This could be an issue for users who prefer the current, 32GB model. • The iOS update may not be compatible with certain applications in the short term.
The iPhone 6 does offer quite a few new features to Apple users. We’re looking forward to testing them out once Apple releases the new models on September 19. PHOTO PROVIDED

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Guide: Get involved on campus LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST
Keaton Bell kildebell@ou.edu @kildebell
U
PB. CAC. SFC. ABC. STD. It seems that every August when school starts back up, there are more and more acronyms emblazoned on flyers all across campus. Their goals are all the same: apply for a position, come to our meeting, join this club. It sounds simple enough. See a flyer, jot down the meeting time in your journal and you’re good to go. The only problem is that with over 450 active student organizations on campus, it can be pretty overwhelming trying to figure out which clubs to partake in. Is the Union Programming Board too big of a commitment? Will the Animal Volunteers Alliance kick me out because I eat meat? Am I not cool enough to be on the Quidditch Team? There’s no need to fret. Aside from each club having either its own website or Facebook page, once you get into the groove of things it becomes easier to navigate the glut of clubs here on campus. To help make the transition a little smoother, here are some of the most popular options for clubs and organizations here at the University of Oklahoma.
big event
connect-u
What They Do: The Big Event is OU’s official day of community service, with over 5,300 students, faculty, and staff participating each year by going out and volunteering at various non-profit organizations around Norman each spring. How To Get Involved: There are currently applications out for The Big Event executive committee. Later in the year, there will be applications for being a part of the operations staff. In spring, there will be sign-up opportunities for volunteers all over campus. All of this information, applications, and more can be found at bigevent.ou.edu. Mission Statement: Whether it be a paint project, clothes organization, or yard work, this immense amount of service all occurs in ONE DAY. Think BIG. Act BIG. Do BIG.
What They Do: Connect-U operates as a mentorship program on campus that pairs incoming/current freshmen and transfer students with an upperclassman as their mentor to help them integrate into the OU community. Notable Events: Only in its second year of existence, Connect-U will occasionally host random events for all of the mentors and mentees to get together and meet others. How To Get Involved: Through Twitter (@OUconnectU), Facebook, Instagram (@ouconnectu), or e-mail (ouconnectu@gmail.com). You can also apply to be a mentor or mentee online.
OU NAACP What They Do: Currently setting up their foundation, the NAACP’s goal is to provide awareness for the injustices that occur in our society. “For now, we’re focused on creating a foundation for the group and a stable set of followers who are interested in community service, civil rights, and spreading awareness about human rights,� club president and broadcast journalism sophomore Aaliyah Ellison said. Notable Events: Times and events will be announced in the future once the group receives more interest and starts to receive applications. How To Get Involved: For now, follow the group on Twitter (@NAACP_OU) and like their Facebook page (NAACP OU).
Quidditch team
cultural misrepresentation club
What They Do: Simply put, they play Quidditch. Inspired by the game from the “Harry Potter� book series, it’s a game in many ways similar to rugby and basketball but with some twists along the way. At meetings they run drills, condition, formulate plays and recruit members. Notable Events: Tournaments are held throughout the year, which includes the Oklahoma Kickoff on Sept. 27, Cowboy Cup on Oct. 18 and the Lone Star Cup on Nov. 15 among others. How To Get Involved: All you have to do is show up to practice Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Join their Facebook group for regular updates (OU Quidditch Team).
What They Do: To further awareness through discussion and study of the ways in which women and men are represented in American media and society. “We hope that through acknowledging a diversity of opinions and influences to better understand the roles women and men play, and should play, in our society,� club president and English literature senior Kylie Gibbons said. How To Get Involved: The CMC will meet twice a month in Gittinger Hall Lounge from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., with their first meeting taking place on Sept. 8. For more regular updates, you can follow them on Twitter (@CulturalMisrep). Mission Statement: We are here to redefine and reclaim feminism as a concept and a lifestyle regardless of gender.
Union Programming Board What They Do: “We program free events in the Oklahoma Memorial Union that will engage students and help shape their college experience,� club president and psychology senior Parisa Pilehvar said. Through being a part of UPB, members can help produce these events and gain leadership opportunities. Notable Events: Night At The Union, the Foam Party, Sooner Idol, Movies In Meacham and Bingo Nights are just some of the various events hosted at the Union. How To Get Involved: All you have to do is show up to a meeting and you’re automatically a member. With no applications and no commitments, you get to decide how much or how little responsibility you’d like. Meetings are at 9 p.m. every two weeks in the Oklahoma Memorial Union. PHOTOS PROVIDED

New coach brings experience From New Mexico to OU, the new men’s assistant golf coach is looking for success HANK TOBOLKA Sports Reporter @hanklebreaker
‘‘
This summer, men’s golf coach Ryan Hybl faced the difficult task of signing a new assistant coach after his previous one took the head coaching job at Memphis. He filled the position with Georgia native, Jim Garren. G a r re n h a s s i x y e a r s of coaching experience. He started his career at “Leaving New Southern Mississippi before taking an assistant position Mexico was not an easy decision, but at New Mexico where he helped lead the Lobos to a the people and the conference championship. Growing up, Garren ad- atmosphere of the mired professional golfer whole department Fred Couples. [at Oklahoma] “When I was only eight, Fred won the Masters and it reminded me of was right at the time I starthome in Georgia ed to take golf seriously,” he and I felt like I said. Couples sparked his pasbelong here. ” sion for the game and his JIM GARREN, love for golf has grown ever ASSISTANT GOLF COACH since. Garren played for Wallace State Junior College as a freshman and helped lead his team to a third-place ranking in NCAA Division I. He then transferred to Kennesaw State, where he earned a degree in sports management. “I wanted to stay in the game but didn’t want to be a professional golfer,” he said. “Coaching was the perfect fit.” In the five years Garren coached at Southern Mississippi, the Golden Eagles established five team records and produced four academic All-America Scholars. His success followed him at New Mexico. After winning the Mountain West conference last season, jumping jobs wasn’t taken lightly by Garren. “Leaving New Mexico was not an easy decision,” he said. “But the people and atmosphere of the whole department [at Oklahoma] reminded me of home in Georgia, and I felt like I belong here.”
CHRISTOPHER MICHIE / THE DAILY
New assistant golf coach Jim Garren speaks with The Daily about his future at the University of Oklahoma; before coming to Oklahoma, Garren served as assistant golf coach at the University of New Mexico for one season after spending five seasons as assistant coach at Southern Mississippi.
He is also excited to be a part of the winning tradition that OU’s athletic programs produce. “This is a big time, competitive program,” Garren said. “This is the type of place I want to coach.” He believes his knowledge will be his biggest asset to the program. “I have a lot of experience coaching at this level across the country and know what it takes to be competitive at a program of this caliber,” Garren said. Coaching golf is unlike coaching other sports, he said. Each player must be individually addressed as opposed to teaching the team as a whole. “You want to have each player’s mindset in the right place and help them keep a positive attitude,” he said.
“Each player is different and you must coach them according to their strengths.” Garren is very optimistic and excited to see how far the team can go this season. The Sooners will be tested, but Garren hopes his presence will make a positive impact on the team. “We have an unbelievably tough schedule,” he said. “But we have a few seniors as well as some new guys that I believe will allow us to compete at a high level this season.” Hank Tobolka hltobolka3@gmail.com

Golf team back from California No. 11 ranked Sooners look to freshmen to fill injured players spot HENRY TOBOLKA Sports Reporter @hanklebreaker
Coming off their first tournament of the year at the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course, the OU men’s golf team is enthusiastic about the upcoming season. “It was the most unique and special event I have taken the guys to and it was also highly competitive,” coach Ryan Hybl said. The Sooners took home a fourth-place finish at the California course and the strong showing has the team in full swing as they head into the season. Senior Charlie Saxon was unable to play after being sidelined for the season with a shoulder injury. Hybl turned to his underclassmen to make up for the unexpected void. “Two freshman, Grant Hirschman and Griffin Pierce, stepped up and I thought overall did a really nice job this weekend,” Hybl said. The performance of his young players was a positive
sign for Hybl. He had a hard time choosing the top five that would travel for the first two tournaments. His team is molding together quickly and pushing each other to the next level. “We want to be competitive every week but we also want to get some wins this season,” Hybl said. Senior Michael G ellerman shared his coach’s expectations. “I expect our team to be competitive every time we tee up,” Gellerman said. “I believe that if we are competitive every single day no matter what we are doing, we will have a chance to make a run in the end.” “All in, all the time,” a Navy Seal’s saying, is a motto Hybl has adopted for the team. Gellerman played a large role for the team last year on the course and is seen as a leader on the team this year along with Saxon. They are great as far as showing the younger guys the ropes as well as how to go about their business as a member of the team, freshman Rylee Reinertson said. The team leaves Wednesday for Olympia Fields Country Club near Chicago to compete in the Fighting Illini Invitational. “We are excited,” Gellerman said. “It’s an awesome course and a great field. We are ready to take our squad to Illinois
