FRESHMAN EXPERIENCE

Four freshmen in their first weeks at OU This story is a part of the The Oklahoma Daily’s multimedia Freshman Experience project following five new Sooners through their first year of college. CARMEN FORMAN • SPECIAL PROJECTS EDITOR

Melanie Purdy Melanie Purdy thanked God out loud for the healing she hoped would come. The next day, God delivered, she said. Purdy was at an InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Bible study when she was asked to voice her prayers. Like she does frequently, she prayed for her dad who was diagnosed in February with stage four liver cancer.

MELANIE PURDY

Her dad called the next day with good news — his doctor had CT Scan results and said the tumors had shrunk by about eight centimeters. “Our hope is really renewed right now,” Purdy said. “This is just the encouragement we both need and that my dad needs to go forward,” Duane Purdy was told his cancer was inoperable and that even with chemotherapy treatments, he had no more than five years to live. He went to treatment sparsely and skipped more and more often because of the bleak

prognosis and the painful chemotherapy. The family supported this decision, she said. “It seems like more possibilities are open and maybe for him, doing the chemo isn’t pointless,” Purdy said in a choked voice. “It isn’t just causing him pain when, ultimately, he’s not going to make it.” While Purdy was rejoicing over good news, other freshmen were going to first football games, going SEE FRESHMEN PAGE 2

DISCUSSION

NEVER FORGET

Sooners remember those who lost their lives Students took a moment to remember 9/11 by placing flags in the ground on the South Oval Wednesday morning. Members of Sigma Alpha Lambda provided 100 flags for students passing by to stick in the grass south of Bizzell Memorial Library, said accounting and prelaw junior John Farley. Within 30 minutes, all the flags were in the ground. “Even a small gesture like placing a few flags on campus can have a significant impact,” Farley said. “We felt this was a very good way to show our appreciation for people who lost their lives.” Farley said he saw several students walking by stand still for a moment to look at the flags and reflect. “I think we should all take a moment to reflect,” he said.

MID-AMERICA CONFERENCE

Upcoming event to discuss minority culture Lectures and workshops will highlight transnationalism MAX JANERKA

Campus Reporter

A conference spotlighting transnationalism and minority cultures will be held Sept. 26 through Sept. 28 on campus. The event will include two keynote lecturers Jonathan Holloway, an African American studies professor at Yale University, and Shari Huhndorf, an ethnic studies professor at the University of California at Berkeley, said Janet Ward, conference organizer and OU history professor. Holloway, who also teaches history and American studies, will discuss diaspora using his new book “Jim Crow Wisdom: Memory and

Identity in Black America Since 1940” as a reference in his lecture, Ward said. Huhndorf, Native American Studies director at Berkeley, will lecture about gender and transnationalism based on her new book, “Indigeneity and the Politics of Space: The Gendered Geographies of Native Women’s Culture,” Ward said. While the event is part of the Mid-America history conference consortium, its focus is more interdisciplinary, Ward said. There will be almost one hundred participants from many disciplines and universities, Ward said. The conference will include workshops organized by archivists and curators at the OU History of Science Collections, Western History Collections and art museum highlighting transnational and minority materials, she said.

Panel speaks about Syria Conference to explain conflict BENNETT HALL Campus Reporter

In an attempt to bring Syrian conflict to the forefront of students’ minds, O U ’s e x p e r t s o n t h e Middle East are holding a panel discussion at 8 p.m. Thursday in Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The panelists will discuss developments leading to the present state of p olitical unrest in Syria internally and with other countr ies, said Mike Boettcher, journalism professor and correspondent-in-residence at Gaylord College. “This is an effort to bring students in touch with world events,” said Boettcher, who is one of the panelists. Several OU faculty and administrators felt that OU students weren’t very concerned with the issue of chemical weapons and how the U.S. should respond to them, Boettcher said. Boettcher said he can remember a period in the 1970s when college students like himself were highly informed about the events of the decade, particularly the Vietnam War, because the possibilities of the military draft were an immediate concern to their lifestyles. “These days, the issues of going or not going to war resonate less with students SEE SYRIA PAGE 2

to certain opportunities, you need to marry someone who can take care of you. Such views aren’t as prevalent in society anymore, and Bush should have worded her statement differently. As those kids grow up, it’s important they’re taught the fundamental ideas and attitudes of today’s society, not the previous generation’s view of women as less equal or inadequate compared to their spouses. For all we know, the girls Bush spoke to may grow up to become president someday, providing their husbands the opportunities Bush had as first lady. However, we’re willing to give Bush the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps during her speech, she didn’t actually mean anything more than marry someone who you’ll love forever, someone who will respect you and help you do what you enjoy doing. After all, she and former President George H. W. Bush have been married for 68 years. That’s the mindset we would like to believe she meant, but given her age, it is likely her idea of “marrying well” is different than what most of us would feel marrying well is today. In the end, no matter what the intentions or thoughts behind her statements were, they came across as a stale principle of what once was. We want our kids to know they can grow up to be whatever they want and love whoever they want to love, regardless of social or political status.

An art exhibit traveled from the cherry-blossomed city of Beijing to give OU students a glimpse of Chinese culture. The Zhang Sisters: Works on Paper Take a Journey from Beijing, will open 6 p.m. Thurs day in the Lightwell Gallery of OU’s School of Art and Art History with a free public reception. The Zhang Sisters, Ling, Bo and Hong, were born in Northeast China and raised in a family with deep roots in cups of watercolor and aesthetic talent. T h i s e x h i b i t f e at u re s works of art across all mediums, including paintings, prints and charcoal drawings. Ling Yan Zhang, the eldest of the three sisters, said she hopes their works will give students a taste of the sisters ‘Chinese culture and inspirations. “Between all of our works, inspiration has been drawn from where we live now and where we grew up,” Zhang said. “Through these works, I want to communicate with students the life changes we have been inspired by and

the combining of cultures through art.” Curtis Jones, associate professor of printmaking, said he was worked with the school of art for the past nine years. This particular exhibit has been on his mind to share with OU for the past two years, when he first saw it at the University of Alabama, he said. “The goal for bringing in any outside artists to feature for the students is always to inform and inspire through talented pieces of art,” Jones said. The sisters have been exhibiting their work since 2004, drawing inspiration from their parents, fine arts professors from the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang, China, Zhang said. Some of Zhang’s works

Audiences need to be more enthusiastic

hen I attend LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST a concert, the goal is to have an excellent, carefree time and dance like a five-yearold who just had a six-pack of Red Bull. Yet, what I have recently noticed both in person and in videos is that Frank Lawler a lot of spectators are comfrankharrison@ou.edu pletely stagnant. This isn’t just a hipster problem — it can happen at any type of concert. Whether it is a Drake or a Kid Rock show, I hate to see a crowd obviously miserable at no fault on the part of the performer. The main reason this is occurring is because of group mentality. When watching live music, it’s either everybody is going wild and enjoying themselves, or everybody is standing there with their arms folded — as if it is a burden for them to be there even though they chose that fate. I get it. If a band is bombing, and you totally regret being there, go ahead and be upset you aren’t getting the performance you paid for. But 99 percent of the time, the musicians on stage are putting out noises worth appreciating. I encourage people to let go of any worries of embarrassing themselves and be the spark that intiates these untamed fires of audience participation. If somebody starts dancing like nobody is watching, I promise you, somebody else will notice. Remember, it’s fun to enjoy music in public like you would in your own home singing with your friends. Being a musician and a total fan of music in general, I can only hope people continue to join together at these concerts to have an exciting time with one another. When you attend these events, the performers are putting themselves out there to ensure you have a good time. It’s only fair to get out there in the crowd and feel the glory of jamming out for the sake of not only music, but also mankind. Frank Lawler is an environmental sustainability sophomore.

combine ink painting, rice paper and canvas, bringing Western art culture and traditional Chinese art together. As a grad student, Zhang said she was inspired by Tibetan culture after spending months at a time submersed in Tibetan provinces all across China. This inspiration presents itself in the illustrations of Tibetan monks and rocks in Zhang’s

art. “We have this life experience and inspiration from the environments we’ve lived in that is reflected in our art,” Zhang said. “It’s not forced, but a subconscious mixing of cultures that happens to create our pieces.” This mixing of cultures is imperative to students learning and exposure to different art forms and inspirations, Jessica Upson,

Public Relations and Event Coordinator for the school of art, said. “The School of Art and Art History aims to bring in nationally and internationally exhibiting artists throughout the year to enhance our students’ educational experience,” Upson said. From water-colored rice paper to sheets shaded with charcoal, the Zhang sisters’ works of art combine

personal Chinese culture and western art styles to present their audience with art rich in culture. The exhibit will be on display from Sept.12 through Oct. 8.

Clay saves Sooner offense with improved run game

Oklahoma State scandal is just tip of the iceberg

sports columnist

his OSU scandal is Sports Editor crazy, you guys. What Sports Illustrated is accusing their football program is serious business. They had to be completely confident in what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reporting to run it. Julia Nelson People everywhere are julia.nelson@ou.edu poking holes in the story. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know what to think about this whole situation, but for argumentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just pretend itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all true. Things are about to get real for a minute, so bear with me. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think what happened at OSU isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happening all over the country, you are very mistaken. Ohio State. Auburn. USC. And these are just the major scandals and violations weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of in recent years. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget about SMU, the first and only team to ever receive the NCAA â&#x20AC;&#x153;death penalty.â&#x20AC;? Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as extreme as paying players and giving passing grades to those who deserved to fail or as simple as guiding them into easier majors and classes, for every recruiting scandal and NCAA violation reported and reprimanded, there are teams bending, but not breaking, the rules. So for every Sooner fan pointing at the Pokes and laughing at their possible wrong doing, stop. Right now. You have no idea whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in athletic departments across the country. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing Sooners are forgetting, though â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oklahoma narrowly avoided serious NCAA consequences in the recent past. Does Rhett Bomar ring a bell for anyone? The former Sooner quarterback was dismissed from the team in 2006 for getting paid for hours he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work at the Big Red Sports/Imports car dealership in Norman. Among other things, a similar system was in place for the Cowboys, Sports Illustrated reports. To go back even further, the OU football program was in some serious hot water in 1988. Recruiting violations paired with quarterback Charles Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest for selling cocaine to an undercover FBI agent culminated in the resignation of coach Barry Switzer and a two-year TV and bowl ban in conjuction with a scholarship reduction. Oklahoma got off lucky in 2006. After dismissing Bomar from the team, it received no major punishments from the NCAA. 1988 is a completely different animal. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the inner workings of the Oklahoma athletics program well enough to suspect any wrong doing, but college football as a whole has taken a turn for the worse, and teams are fighting to stay current. It starts with one team offering benefits to players and then suddenly, others need to do the same to keep up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame really. Maybe these teams blatantly breaking football law are in the minority. I hope so, but I highly doubt it.

Sam Hoffman samhoffman@ou.edu

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt OU has struggled offensively in its first two games this season, and it has mainly been the passing game that has shown inconsistency. Coming into a season with a quarterback controversy is not always the best situation, especially when the winner of the job has not proven much of anything and just went down with a knee injury. However, there has been a bright spot in the Soonersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense that has carried the load through the first two home games this season. The running game has dominated, particularly thanks to senior running back Brennan Clay. Clay has steadily improved throughout his career and is now finally ready to lead the offensive attack as a senior. Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production and efficiency has put pressure on coach Bob Stoops to make a decision. Who will Stoops start at running back? Granted, I know the decision Stoops makes here is less important than who starts at quarterback, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still an important choice. The decision of who to start at running back is different than who starts at quarterback for one reason: offensive rhythm. If both running backs perform and do extremely well, as is the case so far this year, then it is easy to share carries while still maintaining an offensive rhythm. Yet, if one quarterback out-performs another quarterback, then it can shake up the flow of the offense and cause inconsistency from possession to possession.

evin morrison/the daily

OU senior running back Brennan Clay hurdles Mountaineer and Sooner alike on as he avoids being tackled Saturday. Clay has provided a spark for the Sooner run game this season in the absence of a stable passing attack.

In week one, senior running back Damien Williams started for the Sooners, and Clay received half the touches Williams received. However, in week two, there was a more balanced approach, and Clay not only started the game, but also ran it one more time than Williams. This balanced approach only seemed to help Clay. The more touches he got, the more explosive he looked down the stretch. It also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt when half the time Clay was resting on the sidelines while the Sooners were on offense, the 211-pound Williams was wearing down the defense methodically. Still, Clay is beginning to prove himself as more than just a kick returner and a backup running back. It appears coach Bob Stoops has noticed, too. Clay has blossomed so far this year as a reliable running back and has the numbers to prove he is

PLAYER PROFILE Brennan Clay Year: Senior Position: Running Back Statistics: 213 yards on 30 attempts, 1 TD this season.

a legitimate threat in the backfield. Clay is OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher with 230 yards on 30 carries this season. Clay also boasts a staggering 7.7 yards every time he touches the ball. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying Clay should be the starter,

because, honestly, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if he should be. All Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying is his increased production can only help the Sooners win games this year. Clay has grown as a runner each season, but this season is shaking out differently. Clay is on pace for over one thousand yards rushing as a running back that is sharing time. That can only be a positive for the Sooners. So instead of looking at the Sooners as a team that is struggling at quarterback and cannot pass, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to view them as a team that can run, and run well.
