Vending machine prices max out Costs will not increase again until 2018 when OU’s contract expires JESSE POUND News Reporter @jesserpound
Prices in vending machines rose recently, but don’t expect it to happen again in the near future. OU’s agreement with Coca-Cola and Great Plains CocaCola, the local distributing service in charge of vending machines, includes scheduled price increases. Prices increased on Aug. 1, but won’t increase again until after July 2018,
when the contract expires. Last year, a 12-ounce bottle of Powerade cost $1.15 at a campus vending machine. This year the same drink costs $1.25. Twenty ounce bottles of carbonated drinks increased from $1.35 to $1.50, according to the contract. Most of the prices increased by 10 or 15 cents, and none of the price increases surpassed 25 cents. The items that increased by 25 cents were cold food and 16-ounce cans of energy drinks, according to the contract. The agreement between OU and Coca-Cola and Great Plains Coca-Cola began in August 2008. The recent increase is the last one in the contract, which runs through July 2018, according to the contract.

TRANSCRIPTION
History rewritten at library Scholars are needed to transcribe historic documents
CHILDREN
Family structure influences obesity Health Sciences Center researchers find childhood obesity rate trends
DAISY CREAGER News Reporter
PAIGE WRIGHT News Reporter
The University Libraries staff is calling upon scholars and history buffs to help transcribe centuries-old documents. For its Transcribing the Past Project, Western Histor y Collections has opened up documents from the Civil War, and officials are asking interested people to help transcribe them. “Transcribing original hand-written materials can be a very tedious, time-consuming project if it’s done all at once by yourself, but if you get a lot of interested people working on it a little bit at a time, it’s a much easier task,” said Kristina Southwell, associate curator of the Western History Collections. One purpose of the project, which began in 2011 and will continue through 2015, is to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, Southwell said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn firsthand what it was like to participate in the Civil War from these letters and diaries,” Southwell said. “The more generations we get removed from the war, I think the truth what it was like for the everyday enlisted person is less and less known.” Each document in the Civil War collection will

be transcribed separately by two anonymous people. Then, the Western History Collections staff will compare the transcriptions using software that will highlight inconsistencies between them, and the committee will select which one is closest to the original document. The documents will then be published on the OU Libraries website, Southwell said. The project will also make the documents more easily accessible to students as well as to the public. The transcriptions will be easier
to read as well as searchable on computers, Southwell said. “It’s easy nowadays for people to pull up e-books and other things on the internet, but until recently, accessing original manuscript materials was very difficult,” Southwell said. The OU Libraries received a grant from The Amigos Fellowship and Opportunity Award Program for the project. They are using it as a research project to explore the use of crowd sourcing to make other collections more accessible in the future.
The transcriptions will raise the profile of special collections at the OU Libraries, Southwell said. “There are a lot of great collections here on many different topics, not just Civil War materials that students can use,” Southwell said. “We hope that this will inspire some students to come by and see what else we have.”
Researchers at the Health Sciences Center found links between childhood obesity and the child’s family structure. The new report suggests that factors relating to family structure, such as infrequent family meals, insufficient physical activity, not having siblings and having a personal TV in the child’s bedroom, play a role in childhood obesity, according to the press release. In all cases, those factors were correlated with higher childhood obesity rates. The report’s principal investigator, Susan Sisson, is an assistant professor of behavioral nutrition at OU. The study also found living in a household with two parents doesn’t always prevent factors that may cause childhood obesity. Belonging to a blended family — a family that includes children from a previous marriage of one or both spouses — with two parents increases the risk for childhood obesity, according to the press release. Sisson began looking into the topic after reviewing other studies, which showed correlations between divorced parents and childhood obesity, but Sisson wanted to determine if children in single-mother homes or two-parent, blended families were at risk, according to the press release. “Some of the other research that we started to look into, there wasn’t really a lot that looked at the role of family structure,” Sisson said in a video news brief on Aug. 27. Though the research was conducted from data compiled from a survey from April 2007 to July 2008, the results shed a different light on the numbers than previous research. Links between obesity and blended families were apparent, according to the press release. The study covered two biological parents, two adoptive parents, blended families and single mothers, sorting the rest of the family structures into “other,” with very little information on the other family structures, and no information on statistics of children with same-sex parents, either adoptive or with a single biological parent with a same-sex partner, according to the press release. The report was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

here is a need for an online archive of undergraduate senior theses and capstone projects at OU. It’s not because undergraduates can’t think of original topics themselves. It’s almost the opposite. Undergraduate research would be held to a higher standard and given more weight if seniors could build off past students’ research. In fact, the nature of research and capstone experiences demands an archive. This argument is particularly true with experimental capstone experiences that do not end with publication in a research journal, but it is also true with other kinds of capstone experiences. Let me concede that some undergraduates may find it difficult to choose a topic, but that is the most superficial argument for the archive. Students could be able to piggyback off of past student’s work. That’s bad, right? Wrong! That is the nature of research, in my view at least. There is hardly such a thing as completely original research. For example, it would be difficult to add to the collective knowledge of microbiology from the ground up without first inventing a microscope or discovering the physics of optics beNEWS REPORTER fore that and so on. This is not even considering new, necessary modern hurdles like ethical standards set by review boards. (I’m looking at your rabies vaccine testing, Louis Pasteur.) All researchers are standing Justine Alexander justine.l.alexander-1@ou.edu on the shoulders of giants @caffeinejustine who themselves stood on the shoulders of giants. This brings me to my next point. For one, it’s more interesting when research is a motivated hunt for answers. Students wouldn’t have to repeat some of the same uninspired projects year after year, and the graders wouldn’t have to keep reading about them or lend as much guidance with topics. More importantly, students could actually get a chance to be truly inspired by past work and to contribute new knowledge. Then, provided public availability, other sources outside of the university could potentially expand upon that knowledge. This could lead to OU undergraduate research getting some serious attention, which looks good for students and for the university. Even the act of archiving our work itself would be beneficial. It would encourage a polished report and honesty. If my name is going to be publically attached to something, I want it to be the absolute best in every way and not just the minimum for my target grade. I would imagine that the temptation to fabricate data for convenience would also be minimized since the work would be out there for public scrutiny and duplication. Again, this is the nature of research. Experiments have to be repeatable to be meaningful, and what better way to show students how it’s done? It seems that OU likes to follow in the footsteps of Ivy League institutions, so I should note that Harvard, Stanford and Princeton have their own archive systems for undergraduate research projects. Though some OU departments have some record of past capstone experiences, most are difficult or impossible to find and the information given on the projects are certainly difficult to duplicate or build upon. Regardless, if the nature of the capstone experience is to expose students to realistic research and use what they’ve learned, an accessible archive would allow for a better analogue to the dissertation and would simply be more useful overall.

Student sticks it to Xerox sweatshop DAISY CREAGER News Reporter
While many tourists were parasailing and snorkeling during their summer vacation, one student went to the Dominican Republic to protest. Communications junior Dan Upp went to the Dominican Republic this summer after joining the campus group S o oners Against Sweatshops, which advocates on campus for equal rights for workers overseas. The group was behind the effort to supply more fair trade apparel in the campus bookstore. Over the summer, Upp went on a 15-day trip to the Dominican Republic through Solidarity Ignite, an organization that promotes workers’ rights around the world. While there, a group of 20 students toured a factory, spoke with call center

These price increases apply only to items in vending machines, not the items bought at restaurants around OU, according to the contract. Though other companies provide products for vending machines, they are still required to sell them at the prices specified in the contract, said Dennis Murray of Great Plains Coca-Cola, because these companies are working with Great Plains Coca-Cola, Murray said. Petroleum engineering senior Jaemin Jang said she only uses the vending machines if she forgets to bring a water bottle with her to campus. A 20 oz. bottle of Dasani water costs 15 cents more after the price increase.
“Basically all of our clothing comes from overseas, so much of it is made in poor conditions,� Upp said. “I feel like it’s important for us to do what we can to make it so that the people who are making things for us can have the same opportunities that we do.� Leah Kennedy, music composition and human relations senior, visited the Dominican Republic on a similar trip in 2013. After she returned from the Dominican Republic, Kennedy and a friend founded Sooners Against Sweatshops, the group that inspired Upp to travel to the Dominican Republic. “I think everyone here can agree that workers should not be treated the way they are by companies who are blatantly choosing to ignore workers’ lives,� Kennedy said.

NFL FOOTBALL
Former Sooners move to big leagues JOE MUSSATTO SPORTS EDITOR @JOE_MUSSATTO
Adrian Peterson Minnesota Vikings
Peterson is widely regarded as the best running back in the NFL and his numbers back up the claim. “All Day” rushed for more than 2,000 yards in his historical 2012 season and has scored 86 touchdowns in his seven seasons with the Vikings. Sooner Nation was awestruck by Peterson’s ability and now he captivates the whole nation on a weekly basis during the season.
W
hen the NFL begins play this week, more than half of the league’s teams will have at least one former Oklahoma Sooner on their sidelines. OU has been a breeding ground for professional talent during the Bob Stoops era. Here’s a look at 10 Sooners who currently hold NFL roster spots.
DeMarco Murray
Gerald McCoy
Dallas Cowboys
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
He rushed for over 1,000 yards twice in his college career and Murray eclipsed the mark last season for the Cowboys. The running back is OU’s all-time leader in points scored and has established himself as Dallas’ go-to ball carrier through his first three seasons in the NFL.
The ever-smiling McCoy was an AllAmerican at Oklahoma but his career has reached new heights in the NFL. In four years with Tampa Bay, the Oklahoma City native has been named to back-to-back Pro Bowls. McCoy recorded 9.5 sacks and 35 tackles in 2013.
Landry Jones
Jermaine Gresham
Pittsburgh Steelers
Cincinnati Bengals
As Sam Bradford’s successor, Jones started 50 games over four years for the Sooners and compiled one of the more underappreciated stat lines in school history. But after throwing 123 touchdowns in college, the quarterback hasn’t gelled in the NFL. He enters his second season as Pittsburgh’s third-string.
The Ardmore, Oklahoma, native has more touchdown catches and receiving yards than any tight end in Sooner history. Gresham’s game has transferred nicely in the next level. Set to begin his fifth season with the Bengals, Gresham has 19 touchdown grabs on more than 2,000 yards receiving.
Lane Johnson
Kenny Stills
Philadelphia Eagles
New Orleans Saints
A quarterback in high school and tight end converted to defensive end in his first two seasons at OU, Johnson finally solidified a spot on the offensive line. Two years later, the Eagles selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft. Johnson will miss the first four games this year for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
In his rookie year, Stills’ 20-yards-percatch average led the NFL last season. As Landry Jones’ favorite target at OU, Stills hauled in 24 touchdown receptions and more than 2,500 receiving yards. Now, the Saints’ receiver is looking to hook up more often with future hall-of-fame quarterback Drew Brees.
Sam Bradford St. Louis Rams
Ryan Broyles
Since winning the Heisman Trophy in 2008, Bradford has been hampered by injury. He took home Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2010 but missed 15 games over the next three years. Things haven’t gotten easier for the Rams’ signal caller as Bradford will miss the entire 2014-2015 season after tearing his ACL in the preseason.
Detroit Lions
The Norman native hasn’t been able to stay healthy. Broyles’ senior year at OU was cut short after tearing his ACL and, in his rookie season with the Lions, the wide receiver sustained the same injury in the other knee. A ruptured Achilles tendon sidelined him last year as the injury woes have persisted.
Cleveland County Family YMCA For Youth Development For Healthy Living For Social Responsibility
Trent Williams
Washington Redskins Williams won award after award in college, and the accolades haven’t slowed down since his arrival in the NFL. In four seasons with the Redskins, the offensive tackle has notched two Pro Bowl appearances and 55 career starts. Williams was selected fourth overall in the 2010 draft.
