Baboons to move to new home Plans for animals’ transition curently still in early stages ANNA MAYER News Reporter @AnnaMay136
OU Health Sciences Center is now working to form a plan of action for moving its baboons from the closing breeding facility in El Reno to new institutions and centers across the nation. The baboon program first began in 1999 and continued to run without interference until Sep. 8 when OU President David Boren
announced the program will be “winding down” after many complaints against the facility’s animal treatment. Now the university must decide what to do with the baboons at the facility. “I hope they have a good fate,” said Kathleen Conlee, vice president of Animal Research Issues for The Humane S o ciety of the United States. “They deserve a peaceful life and sanctuary.” OUHSC is working closely with the National Institute of Health, researchers and stakeholders to transition the animals to different facilities, said James Tomasek, a

professor in the OU College of Medicine and the baboon program spokesman. Tomasek said no biomedical research was conducted on the baboons at the Fort Reno Science Park, and only observational behavioral studies designed to “improve the welfare of the colony take place.” The baboons are experimented on
elsewhere. Although plans of moving the colony are still in an early stage of development, the National Institute of Health (NIH) did give an idea of what the physical movement of baboons will be like. “There are ver y safe methods to move nonhuman primates within the U.S., most often by special
trucks that are outfitted to move this type of animal,” according to a statement from the NIH Division of Comparative Medicine. “Nonhuman primates can be moved very safely and without detrimental effects to their health by the specialists who do this.” NIH also reassured that the primates are most often moved as family groups; however, the location of where the baboons will end up is still in question. “There are, potentially, other domestic institutions to which the baboons can be sent,” according to the statement.
The Humane Society of the United States added its input in regards to what should happen with the baboons. “The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) applauds the decision announced to phase out its role as a primate research institution,” HSUS said in a statement. “We urge the university to work with accredited sanctuaries to retire the baboons, who have been forced to endure so much.” In the university’s statement made last week, SEE BABOON PAGE 2

Sixty-five dogs that were confiscated from a Norman residence Sept. 11 in response to an anonymous tip sent to Norman Police Department are still in need of rescue, according to an NPD press release. The NPD responded to a complaint on the 11th about excessive barking at a residence in southeastern Norman, according to the release. After NPD knocked on the door and received no response, they acquired
a search warrant for the premises. When they executed the search warrant, officers seized 65 dogs from the residence, 22 of which were puppies ranging from about two days old to about one week old. Additionally, two of the dogs were pregnant at the time of confiscation and could have delivered their litters at any time, the release says. The City Ordinances of Norman rules that no person can harbor or keep more than two dogs or three cats of six months of age on any lot, premises or in any structure without a commercial, rescue or private kennel license. The condition of the puppies is still being evaluated,
but it is believed that all the puppies are adoptable, public safety information officer Sarah Jensen said. The animals are currently eligible to be rescued, but are not currently up for adoption, according to a Norman Animal Welfare Center employee who wished to remain unidentified. Interested parties may contact the shelter at 405292-9736 or visit the shelter, located at 3428 Jenkins Ave. The Norman Police Department could not be reached for comment Monday.

NEWS BABOON: Continued from Page One President Boren cites a lack of prioritization of the program as well as the financial and time costs as reasons for shutting down, and he mentions a possible OUHSC plan to create a transition support program for its faculty and staff. The latter has not yet been established, but OUHSC has “three to four years” to create that support program. As for the financial and time costs, Tomasek said “OUHSC must carefully prioritize and assign limited funds to research areas in close alignment with its new research strategic plan.” Boren first announced his intention to investigate the situation in El Reno early in August after the facility began to draw more and more public attention. E a r l i e r t h i s y e a r, t h e United States Department of Agriculture cited cases

of OUHSC violating the Animal Welfare Act at the Fort Reno Science Park, which then prompted Stop Animal Exploitation Now, a national watchdog group, to send a complaint specifying OUHS C’s alleged infractions. There are even cases dating back to the beginning of last year that show evidence of cruel treatment. On Jan. 16, 2014, one infant was found dead and partially cannibalized 24 hours after its birth. Similar instances were repeated on several other occasions within a few months of each other, according to OUHSC pathology reports. After the university’s statement on Sep. 8, several animal rights groups, in addition to HSUS, praised the decision to shut down the Baboon Program, including PETA. Statement from the Humane S o ciety of the United States: It seems clear that the University of Oklahoma has been failing the primates at
its facility and simply isn’t equipped to provide appropriate care. The Humane Society of the United States applauds the decision announced to phase out its role as a primate research institution. We urge the university to work with accredited sanctuaries to retire the baboons, who have been forced to endure so much. Primate research is expensive, time consuming and often provides misleading results. The university should instead invest in 21st century science and the development of humane, non-animal alternatives that are less costly, much more relevant to human health and therefore more effective at solving human health problems. By choosing this new path, the university has the opportunity to become a cutting-edge research institution. Anna Mayer anna.n.mayer@gmail.com

Agenda Item 16: Resolution concerning management of the university’s classified Defense Information Program According to the agenda, “the University Oklahoma holds a ‘SECRET’ facility clearance (FCL) to allow university personnel to work
with governmental agencies on national security-sensitive projects.” The regents, as well as a few other high ranking officials, maintain personnel security clearance in order to manage the facility. The proposal suggests that the regents designate a managerial group to monitor access to classified infor mation, adher ing to federal regulations. Doing so, regents would have to agree that they “do not require, shall not have and can be effectively excluded from access to all classified
information disclosed to the University of Oklahoma; and will not implement policies that would cause the Managerial Group to violate federal regulations, policies and/or practices dictated by the NISPOM.” Check the OU website for the full agenda. Anna Mayer anna.n.mayer@gmail.com

New vice president fills vacancy with passion Marczewski places value upon Sooner Freshman Council BRIANNA SIMS News Reporter @briannana18
The OU Student Government Association president has selected a new vice president, filling a hole in the hierarchy of the SGA executive branch. SGA President Alex Byron held interviews last week to fill the vacant vice president position and selected Avery Marczewski, who was serving as chief of staff for the SGA cabinet. Marczewski, a business senior, fills the position that became available after President Kunal Naik s t e p p e d d o w n i n Ju n e. Byron, previously the vice president, took over Naik’s

role, leaving the vice presidency open. “She’s extremely intelligent, well qualified for the position and is really passionate about Sooner Freshman Council as well as advocating for mental
health resources,” Byron said. The Sooner Freshman Council is important to both Byron and Marczewski, Byron said. It gives freshmen the opportunity to thrive on campus with involvement in Student Life activities, preparing them for the different situations they will encounter during their first year. Due to her previous work as chief of staff, Marczewski has an understanding of the administration’s interests, Byron said. Byron and Marczewski will lead SGA as the head of the executive branch until new student leaders are selected in elections later this semester. Brianna Sims Brianna.M.Sims-1@ou.edu

Classic car club won’t be coming to campus Sophomore drives idea through long list of restrictions BRIANNA SIMS News Reporter @briannana18
A possible student organization that would work on classic cars was turned away due to concerns about safety and liability. Civil engineering sophomore Kyler Norman began creating his student organization, Sooner Classic Car Restorations, by rallying members on campus. “The process I took is probably a little backwards of most clubs. First, I managed to get a lot of interest though a flyer I posted to some of the existing car groups in Norman on Facebook,” Norman said. He gained a tremendous amount of support within the first three days of posting his idea, Norman said. He said they were promised a car, a trailer, tools, $3,000 worth of parts and $1,000 in small donations. Along with his online flyer, Norman distributed flyers to the freshman at the OU Involvement Fair on Aug. 21 and gained 30 members through that, Norman said. A group must have a minimum of 10 enrolled student members to register as a student organization,
according to the OU Student Life website. Norman succ e ss f u l l y a c q u i re d t h i s amount. All he needed now was a faculty or staff member to represent them. Norman contacted John K. Antonio, assistant dean of Academic Affairs, with all of his information and ideas so Antonio could represent his organization. Antonio promptly emailed him back and agreed to talk to the engineering department about the idea. When Norman met Antonio in person a few days later, however, Antonio revealed the news. “While he seemed interested in my idea, he told me that the liability on the college would be too great. He told me that North Campus and the Engineering Practice Facility (EPF) were too full for another club,” said Norman. When asked how the race teams were deemed safer than SCCR, Antonio told Norman that the competition guidelines protect the college from liability issues, Norman said. “As I mentioned to Kyler, our policy is to allow only competition teams to use our Engineering Practice Facility that compete in sanctioned collegiate events through a national professional society. This was the primar y reason why we could not accommodate this

request,” Antonio said. Antonio and the engineering staff were also concerned with the safety of the group, Antonio said in an email. “Our club would have taken the necessary safety precautions. I would have made gloves, goggles, coveralls and respirators mandatory when working on the car. We would also have jack stands, floor jacks and a hoist to ensure the car wouldn’t fall and hurt anyone,” said Norman. Nonetheless, Norman’s group wasn’t able to become a registered organization on campus, and they are struggling to independently work off campus due to the lack of workspace, Norman said. However, Norman reports that there is still a group of 12 friends who meet and talk about cars on Thursday nights. “This was a tough one to say no to, as virtually all the deans and many directors are car restoration enthusiasts,” Antonio said. There are currently 485 student organizations on campus however, the deadline to register a student organization is Sept. 18, so this number could fluctuate, according to an email from Carmen Bao, an associate director of Student Life. On top of having 10 members and a full-time faculty or staff member employed at the university as an adviser, a group must complete an online application and construct a constitution that meets all the necessary Student Government Association requirements, according to the Student Life website. If the organization m e e t s a l l t h e re q u i re ments, they can be registered as a student organization on campus. Brianna Sims Brianna.M.Sims-1@ou.edu
OU student will be honored McCray to speak on Native issues at White House today MARY SMITH
News Reporter @marysmitty21
An OU student will speak today at the White House as an honored member of the Champions of Change. According to a White House press release, Champions of Change are women who empower their communities. The goal for this event is to inspire girls to be leaders in their community in their own unique way, according to the release. According to the White Ho u s e w eb s i t e, A s h l e y McCray is a Ph.D. student in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine program. Her work includes studying indigenous knowledge, public health and environmental issues affecting minority communities and native students’ academic experiences. A member of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, she will be speaking on the injustice Native American students face at OU. “I feel really humbled and surprised but also really excited to have such an awesome platform to speak out about Native issues on campus and the issues that affect Native students as they try to make their way through academia,” McCray said. McCray said she will address how women inspire other leaders, the challenges

they face and how their work connects with others, as well as how they handle pushback. She is eager to vocalize the issues she has witnessed and experienced at OU on a national level. “Since 2012, Native enrollment has decreased dramatically, and I think this an indication of the way native students are treated on campus. There are very little resources available to Native students and there is very little understanding of Native identity and Native culture,” McCray said. McCray also said she thinks President David Boren was not inclusive of Native Americans with his new diversity movement, and she wants to eradicate
the term “sooner” from OU’s identity because it offends Native Americans. “Sooner reminds students that we’re not really welcome or invited here and it reminds us a lot about colonialism, cultural genocide and regular genocide and being displaced from our home,” McCray said. After speaking at the White House, McCray hopes to inspire Boren to think more about Native American students and to revitalize the support for Native students on campus.

Doctor Ronald Gaddie, department chair of political science, sits in his office last fall semester. Dr. Gaddie and his associates have added a new campaign management minor that will allow students to study the subject in depth, which is not offered on many other college campuses.
Poli-sci reveals new focus Campaign management to be offered spring 2016 GARRETT WATTS News Reporter @GWattsThoughts
OU’s political science department will unveil a new campaign management minor and concentration in the spring of 2016 in order to give students of all academic disciplines an opportunity to obtain a valuable skill set. Political science students will have the option of concentrating their major within campaign management, and students of other academic disciplines will have the opportunity to minor in campaign management, a valuable course of study not found at many other institutions, said Tyler Johnson, a political science assistant professor. “This sort of concentration or minor is pretty rare,” Johnson said. The program came into fruition in order to centralize political science students’ course of study, discouraging them from taking a miscellaneous assortment of classes and giving them a tangible career path within the political sphere. The program was also created to give students of other compatible academic disciplines
an opportunity to enter into the political realm, Johnson said. The political science department will seek to build relationships on behalf of the minor with other academic departments in order to encourage students with relevant skillsets to consider pursuing a career in politics and to give them an opportunity to do, Johnson said. “You could think about a communications major taking this as a minor and going into speech writing or being in charge of messaging within a campaign. You can see someone from Gaylord taking this as a minor and pursuing a career in political or campaign advertising,” Johnson said. The minor will be comprised of classes from various OU academic departments that will give the students skills like staying up to date on relevant political science scholarship, polling, data analysis, communication and survey designing, among other things, Johnson said. Students will also have the opportunity to learn polling firsthand on behalf of OU’s own polling firm Sooner Poll, Johnson said. A c c o rd i n g t o t h e O U Department of Political Sciences’ website, achievement of the minor will require a newly designed special capstone course that will become available in the
spring of 2016. The course was designed to be more hands-on and more interactive than other courses offered by the department, with students getting the opportunity to interact with elected officials, people in campaign media and those who specialize in political polling, Johnson said. “We want people to get involved, build the skills, meet the right people, so that they could emerge with some tangible abilities they can put on a resume or talk about in a job interview,” Johnson said. Jacob Ryan, a political science and campaign management junior with previous experience working on a political campaign, said he is looking forward to centralizing his political science education and being able to back up his real world experience with relevant course work that will earn him the displayable concentration. “I was confused as to some of the courses I was taking. I didn’t really see a clear path yet. As soon as this campaign concentration started to develop, I decided that this is something I want to pursue. It’s something a little more focused,” Ryan said.

Boba tea, also known as bubble tea, is the new food fad. It originated in Taiwan in the 1980s, and only made its way over to the U.S. within the past five years. Now, however, there are entire shops dedicated to this cool, milky drink, and others that just feature it. The obsession comes from the strange and different idea of the tea. Most drinks are just that — drinks. Boba tea, however, has tiny pearls, or squares, of tapioca or coconut resting at the bottom. They provide not only a surprise for those who aren’t expecting such a thing, but a different texture in the drink. It’s almost like a smoothie with fruit or a milkshake with additions, just softer and not as sweet. “I didn’t know what quite to expect out of it, and it surprised me somewhat, but it was O.K.,� petroleum engineering freshman Kyle Luckens said. “I never had tea like that before. It’s not something I would prefer, I would probably prefer something over it.� The pearls, more common than the squares, are a relatively healthy choice. They are mostly carbohydrates, with about 80 calories per serving. They have no saturated fat, cholesterol or sodium. What doesn’t make them healthy, though, is that most people soak them in a sugary syrup to provide even more sweetness to the sweet tea. However, the tea itself doesn’t have to be sweet. “I like the taro milk and cappuccino,� health and exercise science freshman L i n d s e y Mat h e w s sa i d . “It has a different, unique flavor.� At Tea Cafe on Campus Corner and other locations, there are a number of flavors to choose from, and two different types of tea that are combined with the flavoring: green and black tea. The flavors range from avocado to rose and strawberry to almond. The powder and the milk are added together, and then comes the tea. At the Tea Cafe, it is recommended

Shepard magical in Knoxville QB, receiver key to gutsy comeback over Volunteers JOE BUETTNER
assistant sports editor @Joe_Buettner
Senior Sterling Shepard kept praying, looking up to his father and asking for one thing Saturday night. Let his team get something big. Oklahoma scored its first touchdown of the game with under nine minutes in regulation, which ignited a fourth quarter rally. It ignited a little bit of “Sooner Magic” as well. The floodgates opened, and OU’s offense scored a touchdown in its final four series Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers. It was Shepard with the final score to give Oklahoma its first lead of the night and the win in double overtime. “That’s a great player,” junior Baker Mayfield said. “You expect your great players to do things in big games. I’ve known we can lean on him. We can lean on any of our guys. It just so happened that he was left in some situations, and he was able to make plays.” Shepard found himself wide open on third-andthree, caught a strike from Mayfield, went airborne over a Tennessee defender and tiptoed the sideline toward the end zone in OU’s final offensive possession. The touchdown silenced Tennessee’s hostile crowd and put the pressure on the Volunteer offense to score.
Tennessee’s final possession ended with a Zack Sanchez interception, and O U e s ca p e d K n ox v i l l e, Tennessee, with a gritty, come-from-behind win. It was a huge moment for Oklahoma’s 2015 squad and a game coach Bob Stoops hopes will give his team a boost for the rest of the season. It was a moment, however, Mayfield and his teammates will look back on as what he described as a big deal. “I probably never dreamed of a double overtime win in front of 100,000 people, but that’s something to look back on, and it’s pretty for fun me,” Mayfield said. “You always dream of being in a situation like that where it comes down to the ball is in your hand, and it’s up to what you’re going to do. “We took advantage of it.” Mayfield grew up a Sooners fan, and Shepard’s father and uncles had their fair share of magical moments while wearing Oklahoma uniforms. The two now have their own game to look back on, despite a rocky start in Rocky Top. “We were messing up. The crowd played a factor for a while,” Mayfield said. “For us to respond, come out in the second half and come back in the fourth quarter like that, that shows a lot — that we can go into a tough road environment with over 100,000 people.” Joe Buettner joebuet@ou.edu

Stoops to discipline Striker, Byrd internally for behavior following Tennessee win
Freshman running back to miss rest of season due to broken leg, will receive medical redshirt
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said on Monday that Eric Striker and Hatari Byrd would face “internal discipline” for their actions after OU’s 31-24 victory over Tennessee. “Their actions —the heat of the moment and all emotional — are absolutely inappropriate,” Stoops said. “They will be dealt with in an educational manner. That’s what we do, and we’ll handle it internally.” Stoops stopped short of making excuses but acknowledged the changes that have come with the influx of social media and heightened accessibility. “It used to be they would have 10 or 20 minutes to cool down before they ever met a microphone or the media,” Stoops said. “In today’s world that doesn’t happen.” “There’s no excuses, but you’ve seen it even with some NFL guys. They play out there in a controlled rage.” Stoops said because of that it’s not realistic to expect players to be “mild mannered” immediately after a game.
Oklahoma freshman running back Rodney Anderson will miss the remainder of the season with a broken leg, coach Bob Stoops announced Monday. Anderson fractured a non-weight-bearing bone in his left leg, according to Stoops. The freshman was carted off the field against Tennessee with an air cast on his leg on Saturday. He underwent surgery to fix the fracture on Sunday. Stoops said Anderson will receive a medical redshirt for 2015. He will have four years of eligibility remaining when he returns next season. Anderson missed most of spring practice with a sprained MCL; however, Stoops never specified in which knee the injury occurred. Staff Reports

Stoops’ answer to ESPN analyst? Winning Sooners feel disrespected by onair personality BRADY VARDEMAN
Assistant Sports Editor @BradyVardeman
After ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum called Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops ‘irrelevant’ ahead of the Sooners’ game at Tennessee, Stoops refused to directly respond.
“I don’t care,” Stoops said. “He doesn’t deserve that attention from me. The bottom line is ask Tennessee and their 105,000 people if we’re relevant or not. “And he’s getting paid to promote a league. I mean, that’s what he does. And that’s OK. Everyone has to earn their money one way or another.” Even defensive coordinator Mike Stoops had comments for Finebaum after
the Sooners’ 31-24 victory in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Saturday. Mike said he didn’t have a problem with linebacker Eric Striker’s comments about the SEC earlier in the week. “I didn’t say one word to him,” Mike Stoops said. “I don’t think anyone did. What he said was nothing out of the ordinary. Paul Finebaum slanders us every time he’s on radio.” Finebaum appeared on
ESPN’s College Football Live Monday as the hosts of the show played a highlight tape of his comments about Stoops and Oklahoma over the years. “The SEC hype is out of control,” Finebaum admitted on the show. St o o p s s t o o d f i r m i n downplaying the degree to which crowd noise can affect a game. After the Volunteers went up 17-0 in the second quarter on
Saturday, the stadium publ i c a d d re s s a n n ou n c e d that the crowd had set a Neyland Stadium record of 114 decibels. “But what does it matter in the game?” Stoops said. “What I’m saying is that it didn’t change how we practiced. It didn’t change anything.” Quarterback Baker Mayfield said the noise had an impact on the offense. “We were messing up and
that’s stopping us,” he said. “Crowd played a factor for a while there. “For us to respond, coming out in the second half and come back in the fourth quarter, that shows a lot that we can go in a tough road environment, like over 100,000 people. They were loud, too.” Brady Vardeman brady.vardeman@gmail.com
