One University Store attracts large crowd One University Store has successful opening MAX JANERKA
Campus Reporter
A line of students reached down the hall, around the corner and up a flight of stairs waiting for the grand opening of the One University Store at 10 a.m. on Monday. Payton Kaleiwahea, a computer science sophomore, and Michael McDonald, a computer science senior, were among those
students who had been waiting since the previous evening outside the new technology store located on the first floor of the Oklahoma Memorial Union. Although the two had shown up at around 9 p.m. on Sunday, they were not the first in line, Kaleiwahea said. There were around seven students who stayed overnight, and most of them slept near the front of the store, McDonald said. The One University Store, with its mission to inspire students and increase involvement, is supposed

to reach students all across campus, McDonald said. There is a similar program, Software Studio, already in place in the School of Computer Science, he said. Despite One University’s grand mission, it is likely that many of the students in line shared a goal with Kaleiwahea, who was there to buy a new laptop. At the grand opening, Apple computers were up to $350 off the original price, and the first 200 people in the store would receive SEE IT STORE PAGE 2

We’re increasingly seeing libraries as [a] multi-modal space, meaning the mode isn’t just study, it is a mix of things.” RICK LUCE, DEAN OF LIBRARIES AND ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT FOR RESEARCH FOR THE NORMAN CAMPUS BLAYKLEE BUCHANAN • MANAGING EDITOR
Library renovations won’t stop with Lower Level One
R
enovations to Bizzell Memorial Library’s Lower Level One are just the beginning of many updates to revamp library space and advance technology, changing the way students use the library. One of the main uses for Lower Level One is to bring students together to promote collaborative learning, said Rick Luce, dean of libraries and associate vice president for research for the Norman campus. Luce said he aims to engage campus in a dialogue about how libraries are changing and how that affects OU. He has held around 15 meetings with faculty and students, including representatives from Student Government Association, called town halls, he said. One thing Luce realized was Bizzell is set up for another generation, one that was used to sitting down and studying at a desk. While it was made for that kind of study setting, Bizzell didn’t have a space for groups of students to work together — something students are doing much more often now. The last renovation Bizzell underwent was when the Doris W. Neustadt Wing was added in 1983, Luce said. “A lot has changed in 30 years,” he said.

The vision to create an essential space for students and faculty is where libraries are headed, said Karen Antell, head of references and outreach services at Bizzell, in an email. “The future of libraries is devoting more space to people, not materials,” she said. One of those spaces, known as the collaboratorium in Lower Level One, will be technology-enabled and will fuse library and classroom materials together, Luce said. Lower Level One will contain two small studios — one for students and one for faculty. The studio will be equipped with technology for recording audio for projects, Luce said. But Lower Level One is not the end of renovations for Bizzell. It’s just phase one of updating the library because a collaboratorium is not the only type of space needed, Luce said. “It’s one end of the curve. It’s all about collaboration and spaces to work together — to study together in a group,” he said. “The other end of the spectrum is to think about places like the Great Reading Room ... But then there will be a lot of places in between.” The beginning stages for renovating the main floor of Bizzell are
A $20.3 million federal grant to advance medical research has been awarded to OU’s Health Sciences Center, in collaboration with other Oklahoma health institutions . The grant came from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a branch of the National Institutes of Health, said Greg Elwell, public affairs specialist for t h e O k l a h o ma Me d i ca l Research Foundation, which is collaborating with OU to use the grant to advance research.

gift cards worth up to $1000, Kaleiwahea said. “The deal is really amazing: $350 off of retail is really unheard of, even on Black Friday,” he said. Kaleiwahea said he was less enthused about the $5 gift cards awarded to the first few people in line who had waited for the opening for about 12 hours. Approximately 200 people were in line when the store opened at 10 a.m., said Erin Yarbrough, director of web communications at OU.

underway, Luce said. Authorization has been given to create a master plan, but the planning has not begun. Another addition to the library will be a meditation labyrinth located at the bottom of the stairs on Lower Level Two in the Neustadt Wing, said Matt Cook, night supervisor for the library and OU alumnus. The labyrinth — called Sparq, which Cook invented — is for solitary scholars, he said. Sparq is an interactive meditation tool that projects patterns onto the ground that students can walk, do yoga or dance on. It has been shown to reduce blood pressure, according to the Sparq labyrinth website, which is useful for students who are stressed from studying. “The Sparq system is to get them up and get them walking and give them a mindful experience before they go back and study some more,” he said.
Cook said the library needs to be a relevant space for students, which is why he helped to create a system students could actually use. “You don’t need to be in a library to find the information, but in order to experience the information and internalize it and communicate it, you need an environment that is built specifically for that purpose,” Cook said. That is how libraries will stay relevant as technology advances, he said. Paying attention to how students are using technology will also help the library become a vital part of students’ lives. SGA president Ernest Ezeugo said they are primarily trying to help get the word out about the renovations. He also encouraged students to approach SGA with ideas and suggestions for the renovations. While Luce said the library is the center of campus, Antell said Bizzell should be the virtual center of campus, too. In her ten years as a librarian at OU,
Antell said she’s noticed a shift toward technology with the purpose of making research easier for students. In fact, the total number of books checked out from 1992 to 2012 has decreased by almost 40 percent, from 222,984 to 138,093, according to requested records of Bizzell book circulation. This aligns with Antell’s expectations that the library will have fewer print materials and more space for people and technology. “We should be involved in every aspect of students’ education, including all of the education that takes place virtually and remotely,” she said. Libraries are shifting from places where resources are held to interactive spaces with many purposes. “Libraries are no longer sort of a single venture, meaning a single place to go for books and information,” Luce said. “We’re increasingly seeing libraries as [a] multi-modal space, meaning the mode isn’t just study, it is a mix of things.”

hen talking OU football, there are just those names that you can’t draw comparisons too. Some are bronzed on the east side of the stadium known as Heisman Park, others have the last name Selmon, and another is referred to as, “The Boz”. There are many more, but one in particular: All Day, No. 28, a 2,000-yard rusher in the NFL — Adrian Peterson. The running back broke three NCAA freshman-rushing records in 2004 when he dazzled Sooner Nation with his combination of unmatched physicality and agility, and the current Minnesota Viking has established himself as the league’s premier back. By the end of his career, Peterson is likely to be mentioned as one of the greatest rushers of all time. The former Sooner’s name could be tossed around with those of Jim Brown, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. So, when you bring up Peterson to compare to a current Sooner, it’s not fair to either party. The

Freshman running back Keith Ford breaks a tackle against Tulsa. He is already drawing comparisons to one of Okalhoma’s greatest, Adrian Peterson. The comparison isn’t fair to either back though. While they have similar styles running between the tackles, it puts far too much pressure on Ford and inslults the legacy Peterson left at the unviersity.
“Physical and fearless are probably the two best ways to describe Ford.” comparison serves as an insult to the NFL’s superior running back, and places near impossible expectations on a kid in college. But Keith Ford may have to get used to it. The talk is already starting, despite the true freshman having just 11 career carries to his name. Ford committed to
Oklahoma as the thirdranked back in his recruiting class, according to ESPN, and the Cypress, Texas standout hasn’t taken long to make his impact felt. And, that’s just what Ford does. He makes an impact — a big one. Sure, he plays running back, but Ford does the hitting. On 11 carries, the back has totaled 66 yards and recorded his first touchdown last weekend versus Tulsa. The stat sheet is nice, but it’s in the way Ford runs that separate him from other young backs.

There’s no doubt Ford could be the future of OU’s backfield, and if that’s the case, the future appears to be bright. But for now, hold the comparison. Just to be mentioned in the same sentence as Peterson is crazy enough. Joe Mussatto is a journalism sophomore.
