UPDATE
Library construction almost over Former Bookmark Café area will be open for students later this month PAGE JONES News Reporter
After over a year of construction, Bizzell Memorial Library’s updated Lower Level 1 will soon be open for students. Construction on portions of Lower Level 1, the area that once housed the Bookmark Café, will be complete Sept. 15 when the Peggy V. Helmerich Collaborative Learning Center will open, said Sarah Robbins, a representative for the library. The learning center project cost $5.7 million and was funded by state allowances and private donations. The Helmerich family donated $500,000 toward the project, according to provided records and the library website.
The new collaborative learning center is geared toward group study and giving students space to work together, Robbins said. The center is designed with large open windows for students to see into the library’s Canyon Garden, according to a press release. Eight new study rooms have been added for students to use for practicing presentations and for studying as a group. The rooms are equipped with white boards and digital displays for students to connect their laptops or tablets, Robbins said. “The purpose of the space is to engage the community,” Robbins said. The Bookmark Café will return to its original location after being temporarily relocated during the construction, Richard Luce, Dean of University Libraries said.

Players of alternative sport take equality matters even higher
MEGHAN WHITING NEWS REPORTER @HEYITSMEGHANW
TONY RAGLE/THE DAILY
OU’s 2013 Quidditch team, the Crimson Firebolts, gets fired up at pratice.
AT A GLANCE What is Quidditch? Quidditch is a fictional competitive sport from the book series “Harry Potter.” The sport has been adapted so players who aren’t witches and wizards can play the game by mixing elements of fictional game, such as players running around with a broomstick between their legs, with real sports, such as rugby, dodgeball and tag. The rules Each team is comprised of seven players who must play with a broom between their legs at all times.
The players Chasers: Score points with volleyballs. Each time a chaser scores, his or her team gets ten points. Beaters: Disrupt the game by chucking dodgeballs at players to knock them out of the game temporarily. Keeper: Guards the goal hoops to prevent chasers from scoring points. Seeker: Runs around the field to catch the snitch, which is a yellow ball attached to the waistband of a neutral player in a yellow uniform. Once the snitch is captured, the game ends.

OU’s Quidditch team is taking Title IX a step further to create a playing environment of total equality by not only including male and female players, but also players who don’t identify within the binary gender system. The rule is outlined by the US Quidditch Association’s Rulebook under Title 9 3/4 and states that each team can only have a maximum of four players who identify as the same gender. In simpler terms, the gender rule essentially ensures that every player on the field must be able to see at least two other players on the field who won’t identify as the same gender as themselves, said Zach Little, secretary and acting president of OU Quidditch. The goal of Title 9 3/4 is to not only to create equality but also a large range of diversity on the teams, according to the US Quidditch website. Luz Gutierrez, OU Quidditch librarian and chaser and keeper for the team, said the equality and diversity is what she loves most about being a part of OU Quidditch. “I’m a huge feminist,” Gutierrez said. “We just put everything out there, and it’s never a problem. No one is ever going to judge.” This nonjudgmental environment is another aspect of OU Quidditch that draws students in, despite differences team members may have in gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs. “We just make the environment welcoming so that they won’t be afraid and will want to join,” Gutierrez said. Last year the team included members who identified as transgender, and this year the team has atheists playing along with devout Christians, OU Quidditch captain Andrew Gillingham said. Gillingham, who is bisexual, said he feels completely comfortable being open about his sexuality on the team. “Everyone is polar opposites and it just works,” Gillinham said. Last year was the first time OU Quidditch participated in tournaments, and now the team is certified to play in other tournaments throughout the season. SEE EQUALITY PAGE 2

The café has been renovated to match the aesthetic of the new learning center and has an expanded menu, Luce said. The café will also include more customer seating areas, according to a press release. Construction on Lower Level 1 of the library has been underway since August 2013, and library administrators are eager to open the new space to students, Luce said. “We’re really excited about it and excited to get students into the new space and see and hear the reaction” Luce said. A commemoration ceremony for the new space is set for Nov. 7, when OU President David Boren will speak. The Helmerich family will attend, Robbins said.
While the team doesn’t have tryouts open at the time, students interested in joining can show up at one of the practices and learn the game, Little said. If there’s enough interest, an A and B team could be created to accommodate players with different skill levels, Little said.

BRIEFS Healthy lifestyle program open to students at campus fitness center Starting Oct. 1, the Huston Huffman Fitness Center will offer weekly meetings aimed toward helping students fill their plates with healthy eating options. The Full Plate Living Program encourages participants to eat “power-up” meals by filling their plates with fiberrich foods that can improve digestion and lower risk of cancer and heart disease, according to the Full Plate Living Program’s website. The program focuses more on changing food habits and eating patterns to stimulate permanent weight loss instead of a temporary fix, said Heather Kirkes, fitness and outreach coordinator. “With all the choices on campus, sometimes it’s hard to make the right choices when it comes to food,” Kirkes said. Full Plate meetings will be held at noon Wednesdays in the Huston Huffman Fitness Center. All participants must pay a $45 fee that covers materials, books and manuals. Those interested in learning more about the Full Plate Living Program, or finding Full Plate Diet recipes, can consult the lifestyle plan’s website. Students interested in joining the Huston Huffman Fitness Center’s Full Plate Living Program can email heatherkirkes@ou.edu to learn how to register.

Students interested in teaching new Sooners about OU can attend an interest meeting from 9 to 10 p.m. Monday in the Jim Thorpe Multicultural Center. The meeting will teach students about small group leaders. Small group leaders work with new Sooners during Camp Crimson, OU’s incoming student camp, to make new students’ transition to OU easier. Kate Taylor, 2013 and 2014 small group leader, said she likes being a small group leader because of the friendships and experiences students can have at Camp Crimson. “I think the best thing about Camp Crimson for both [small group leaders] and incoming freshman is that it’s the first time we get to truly showcase what it means to be a part of a family,” Taylor said. It’s the small group leaders’ jobs to put incoming students’ fears about coming to college at ease and give them a support system, Taylor said. “It’s magical to see the bonds that form from that, because they last a lifetime,” Taylor said.

EDITORIAL
Quidditch team sets excellent policy Our View: We commend OU Quidditch’s broad
definition of equality and encourage other student organizations to promote fair representation of all gender identities. Equality on college campuses is a short-list pursuit for most university officials: just look on any college’s website and you’ll see claims of diversity and fairness splashed on the homepage. Equality is critical in college, and we wholeheartedly support any campus organizations actively promoting acceptance and tolerance. Which brings us to OU’s Quidditch team. OU’s resident “Harry Potter” fans have taken their club’s commitment to equality much farther than simply having men and women on the team. In fact, the team welcomes members who do not identify with the binary gender system and players of all sexual orientations. We commend OU Quidditch for its all-encompassing stance toward equality and hope their devotion to acceptance inspires all campus organizations to broaden their definitions of equality. Colleges are legally barred from discrimination based on sex by Title IX. Title IX, a part of the U.S. Education Amendments of 1972, states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education The Our View program or activity receiving federis the majority opinion of al financial assistance.” The Daily’s Title IX is the basis for equality nine-member on college campuses, but we love editorial board that OU Quidditch not only follows Title IX but also expands equality to promote fair representation of all gender identifications. In fact, the U.S. Quidditch Association has a provision in its rulebook, “Title 9 3/4,” that states the association uses gender rather than sex in its policies and encourages gender acceptance. The nonjudgmental atmosphere of OU Quidditch attracts diverse students from all over campus, The Daily reported. Representatives from

the club explained that the gender rule basically means that “every player must be able to see two other players on the field that do not identify as the same gender as themselves,” The Daily reported. We believe this is an excellent strategy to ensure OU students interact with and learn from individuals who differ from themselves. Too often campus organizations are composed of members from similar backgrounds with comparable identities. But OU Quidditch’s policy of equality promotes an environment in which students from all different walks of life learn and work together toward a common goal, winning their quidditch matches. No club at OU is allowed to deny membership based on sex, and we know the majority of student
organizations promote equality and acceptance. We commend these organizations and encourage them to take a page from OU Quidditch’s playbook by supporting equal representation of all gender identities, not just the binary system of male and female. Every student at OU deserves to feel accepted on campus, and policies like OU Quidditch’s gender rule go a long way toward ensuring students can see themselves fairly represented at their university.

The Oklahoma soccer team earned a pair of wins this weekend, defeating Nebraska in an overtime thriller and Central Arkansas in a blowout. The No. 21 Sooners (4-1-1) went into the weekend having not played a game away from Norman this season, but they stepped up to the task admirably. After yielding a goal in the sixth minute to the Cornhuskers, Oklahoma got back on track in the 71st minute when sophomore Ayana O’Neal scored an equalizer. The game went into overtime with the score knotted at 1-1, but sophomore Madison Kinzer put Oklahoma up for good in the 107th minute. It was another quality victory for the Sooners. “Anytime you go on the road and play a team like Nebraska, you’re going to have to be at your best,“ coach Matt Potter said. “I thought our performance showed maturity. We had a game plan, we stuck to it and it worked for us.� Following an emotional victory at Nebraska, the Sooners had a long travel day on Saturday to get prepared for an offensive-minded Central Arkansas squad. Un i ve r s i t y o f C e nt ra l Arkansas has scored at least one goal in every game so far this season, but the Bears never found the back of the net on Sunday. Oklahoma defenders only yielded one shot in 90 minutes of play, and there weren’t many offensive opportunities. On the other side, the Sooners scored goals in the 21st, 30th, and 39th minute against the Bears in the first half, before tacking on two more at the end of the game.

Sooners tame the Golden Hurricane with ease Here are the top five take aways CARSON WILLIAMS & DILLON HOLLINGSWORTH • SPORTS REPORTERS
1. SHEPARD DELIVERS CAREER GAME
3. TURNOVERS KEY FOR DEFENSE
Something about Tulsa brings out the best in Sterling Shepard. Saturday, Shepard reeled in eight catches for 177 yards and one touchdown, matching a personal best for receptions and setting a career high in receiving yards. Shepard now moves past Travis Wilson, Quentin Griffin and Albert Hall on the career receiving yards list for 19th place with 1,450 yards. In two games against Tu l s a, S h e p a rd has totaled 16 catches for 3 0 0 y a rd s and four touchdowns.
The Sooners’ defense showed why it’s one of the best in the country. The unit forced four turnovers including an interception returned for a touchdown by senior linebacker Geneo Grissom — his second pick in the last three games. Sophomore cornerback Zack Sanchez snagged his fourth interception in his last five games, spanning back to the end of last season.
2. KNIGHT CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

Wide receiver Sterling Shepard
4. RUNNING BACKS PROVIDE SPARK
Trevor Knight continues to provide solid quarterback play for the Sooners. In Tulsa, Knight looked more like the player he did against Alabama than he did in last week’s win against Louisiana Tech. He threw for 299 yards on 21-of-34 passing and two touchdowns. In addition, the San Antonio native scored on a 31-yard run, marking his first rushing touchdown of the year and third of his career.
Keith Ford, Alex Ross and Samaje Perine have showed that their inexperience doesn’t phase them. The three combined for 233 yards rushing and three touchdowns, including an 82-yard score for Ross who was playing in front of his hometown. If the first two games are any indication, Oklahoma’s running backs coach Cale Gundy should have no worries on production from his three ball carriers this season.

5. GASTELUM EARNS SCHOLARSHIP Following the game, coach Bob Stoops awarded fifth-year walk-on Caleb Gastelum not only with a game ball, but a scholarship as well. Gastelum had a career day at linebacker one week after replacing sophomore Jordan Evans who was ejected after being called for targeting. He recorded eight tackles along with an interception in the endzone in the final minute of the game.

Music provided: Bring your own lunch Tuesday Noon Concerts and Art After Noon programs offer midday break MACI MUIRHEAD Life & Arts Reporter
Lunch can be a stressful time for catching up on homework and waiting in the long food court lines, but it doesn’t have to be this way. It can be a wonderful hour filled with world-class musical performances and remarkable art — and all of this without having to set foot off campus. Each Tuesday from Sept. 9 to Nov. 25, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art will feature talented student and faculty musicians in a weekly, free event series called Tuesday Noon Concerts. These concerts, a collaborative effort between OU’s School of Music and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, will consist of 30-minute concerts every week at noon in the Sandy Bell Gallery of the museum. Michael Bendure, the museum’s director of communication, said that this is a great opportunity for people to conveniently include a bit of art in their everyday lives. “If someone truly only has an hour lunch break, they can stop, enjoy a 30-minute concert and still have time to grab lunch on the way back to the office,” Bendure said. Throughout the semester, students and faculty TONY RAGLE/THE DAILY from the School of Music The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art sits on the corner of Elm and Boyd St. on campus.

TECHNOLOGY
Eight iPhone 6 features we might see Tuesday T LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST
he iPhone 6 announcement is less than 24 hours away and the hype is bigger this year than ever before. Apple is said to have ordered close to 80 million of the new phones for the holiday season, nearly 20 million more than last year when the iPhone 5S was released. This enormous jump begs the question: why would Apple anticipate so many more sales? My guess is that they have something big in the works. Although the rumor mill is not always right when it comes to new iPhone features, it tends to have some truth buried in its many, sometimes contradictory, predictions. Below are what I believe to be the most likely rumors, ranked from most plausible to least. We’ll find out whether they are true or not when Apple gives its keynote at noon tomorrow. The event can be watched via any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV or Mac. You can also follow via cnet.com and apple.com.
Thomas Bernstein
5: Faster processor and internals
tbernst1990@ou.edu @TomDBernstein
1: Bigger screen Apple likely has something big in the works and I mean it literally. Leaked images have confirmed with utmost certainty that the new iPhone will pack a 4.7inch screen. That’s a big jump compared to the 4-inch screen in the iPhone 5S and puts it into Samsung Galaxy territory in terms of size.
The iPhone 5S featured the world’s first mobile 64-bit processor, the A7, making it one of the most powerful cell phones around. Apple looks to be improving on this with the A8 processor, which not only may be faster but will also consume less power and extend the iPhone’s battery life. The phone may also include new wireless chips that would allow for faster internet speeds, new health related sensors and possibly more RAM to allow for better multitasking.
6: iOS 8 2: Even bigger screen If you think that 4.7 still isn’t big enough, Apple may still have you covered. In addition to the 4.7-inch screen they will also release a 5.5-inch one as well. That’s positively massive and would dwarf the iPhones Apple is selling now.
Apple actually already unveiled iOS 8, the latest operating system for the iPhone and iPad, in June. It has yet to be released, however. The iPhone 6 will almost certainly come preloaded with iOS 8, making it the first device to have it. So, what’s new with iOS 8? Third-party keyboards such as Swipe and SwiftKey, new photos and messaging apps, a health-monitoring app that can communicate with your doctor and much more.
7: Mobile payments
3: Thinner and rounder The iPhone 5S is one of the thinnest phones on the market despite its age. Nevertheless, Apple has decided to make its latest iteration of the device even thinner. It will also lose its sharp edges and feature a more curvaceous design that won’t dig into your hands as much. Even the screen will be rounded slightly.
Rumor has it that Apple is partnering with all of the major credit card companies and banks to allow you to pay for things just by waving your phone above a sensor and scanning your fingerprint on the home button for authentication. This rumor is a little sketchier than the others, but would make life a lot easier.
8: iWatch
4: Better camera The iPhone 5S has one of the best smartphone cameras available and the iPhone 6 looks like it will have an even better one. In addition to a larger sensor, which allows for better low-light photos, the camera may also feature optical image stabilization. That means that blurry photos will be a thing of the past, even if you’re moving or shaking while you take the photo. The downside to all these advancements is that the camera may protrude slightly from the iPhone’s body instead of being perfectly flush as it is on the current model.
This won’t be a part of the phone itself but rather an accessory for it. Likely riddled with health sensors and featuring a high-end design, the iWatch looks like Apple’s next big thing. Its features and design are a mystery at this point as there have been no physical leaks, but some say it will come with a curved display and allow for third-party apps like Facebook and Twitter. Another big rumor is that it won’t actually be available to purchase this year, but rather be announced now and made available in the spring.
