OSU looking for alternatives to SafeRide

COURTESY OF TONY RAGLE/OU DAILY

The University of Oklahoma has a free taxi system for students so they can find safe rides home on weekends.

Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k Sometimes a safe ride home comes with a cost. SafeRide and pro-

grams like it, which offer students a safe ride home typically after a night of drinking, are commonplace on many college campuses across the nation. But not at Oklahoma State University.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2014

“I have met with representatives from SGA and other groups and talked about SafeRide every year for the last 14 years,” said Lee Bird, vice president for student affairs. “I meet with students regularly, we offer our ideas, it just

doesn’t go anywhere.” Bird said one of the main obstacles the university encounters is determining a fair way to pay for the program. “How can we do it without taxing all students (only) to have some stu-

O’COLLY

dents drink irresponsibly (which) compels the need for a SafeRide program?” Bird said. Bird said that if a program financed by student fees were implemented, the board of regents would need to approve the fee — a seemingly unlikely decision. “The interest in doing a student fee to allow people to have a safe ride home when they are irresponsible enough to drink to a point of not being able to drive, I don’t know if that’s going to be the first new fee that we put forward,” she said. The University of Oklahoma, which established a SafeRide program in 2004, finances its program through the president’s office of the university, making the program available to students at no charge, said Brynn Daves, director of student affairs operations and student programs. “OU SafeRide is contracted with local public transportation companies (Yellow Cab of Norman and Airport Express of OKC) to provide stu-

dents safe, confidential and free transportation within Norman city limits on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings every weekend of the year, including game days,” Daves said. Daves said OU implemented the program to discourage drinking and driving. Within the last year, Stillwater Police and OSUPD have given a combined total of 96 DUIs to drivers ages 18-25. Bird said that although safety is important, consuming alcohol beyond the legal limit is a choice. “We’re enabling a program for people to get drunk and have a safe ride home when I would rather spend the time and energy trying to get people to be a little bit more responsible,” she said. “Safety is a big deal, but I don’t see it as mission critical. I have a right to protect students…but (drinking) is really a choice.” Bird said she doesn’t know how successful a SafeRide program would

Alumna’s influence stems across the globe the school. There, it didn’t take long for Nalley to realize she was ahead of the curve. “On Fridays, we used to have these math contests, so I’d study really, really hard,” Nalley said, “We got to go to the board and do math problems, and as long as we kept doing them, we got to stay at the board … I’d win a whole bunch of them against everybody in the school.” When she wasn’t practicing her math skills, Nalley was reading. The small school library didn’t have many books, but it did have Marie Curie’s autobiography. Nalley read the book dozens of times and found her role model in Dr. Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Fourth grade brought about some change as Nalley moved to a larger school with about 100 students. There she remained at the top of her class. Just when Nalley was getting into the math-science swing, Sputnik, the Russian satellite launched. American leadership knew it needed to do

Bailey Powell @OColly Anne Nalley’s journey to becoming one of the country’s most influential female chemists and a Nobel Peace Prizenominated humanitarian started with a petition. Nalley, an Oklahoma State University alumna and chemistry professor at Cameron University in Lawton, knew by her freshman year of high school she wanted to learn more advanced math and science. “There was a bunch (of ) us that knew we wanted to go to college and knew that we wanted to be scientists, so we circulated a petition,” Nalley said. “There was 17 of us that signed the petition to start a physics class — 16 boys and me.” Nalley’s education began in a little one-room schoolhouse with 13 children in the entire school. Every day, she and her four siblings would walk or ride their horse and buggy about a half mile to

more to stay up with the Russians, so it launched a summer program to involve young Americans in the hunt for scientific information. Nalley’s physics profes-

sor recognized her talent and applied for her to be part of the program at Oklahoma State University. She was accepted after graduating from Checotah

High School in 1960. She was the only girl from Oklahoma accepted and one of only six from the rest of the country. These women worked alongside 20 men during the six-week summer program. That was all it took for Nalley. She found her passion for chemistry and never looked back. As a graduate student at OSU, Nalley worked as a teaching assistant. When she began applying for jobs, no one would hire her for a corporate position. She was a woman in the wrong field. But her supervisor, Colonel Breedlove, made a phone call. Don Owen, president of Cameron University at the time, answered. There happened to be a chemistry position open. Soon afterwards, Nalley packed her bags and headed south. She has been teaching there for nearly half a decade. While at Cameron, Nalley earned her Ph.D. from Texas Women’s University because Cameron was attempting to become

an accredited four-year university and wanted her doctorate to come from out of state. She has served as the President of the American Chemical Society, where she learned there weren’t enough female leaders in chemistry around the world. She has spoken to young women around the world to help guide them toward chemistry positions. She knew there was a need for more women because they provide a different perspective and a more rounded point of view. This work, as well as multiple symposiums, helped her receive the 2015 American Chemical Society Award for Encouraging Women into Careers in the Chemical Sciences. However, Nalley’s work goes far beyond that. Nalley runs an animal refuge on her property in Chickasha where she has 69 cats, two horses and a plethora of other animals that only come to her See CHEMISTRY Page 9

Gay marriage became legal in Oklahoma and four other states on Monday. Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k The U.S. Supreme Court rejected appeals of lower-court rulings that had struck down same-sex marriage bans, making gay marriage legal in five states, including Oklahoma, on Monday. “For the state of Oklahoma, it doesn’t get much bigger than this,” said Troy Stevenson, executive director of The Equality Network. “As of today, 25 states now have marriage equality — that’s half of the

states in the country. It’s huge for couples throughout the state and honestly throughout the nation.” Shortly after the Supreme Court’s decision, courthouses all across the state began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. “Our district attorney and court judge directed us to commence issuing licenses at about 1:30, 2 p.m. (Monday) afternoon,” said Lisa Lambert, Payne County court clerk. Lambert said by Tuesday afternoon, the clerk’s office had issued one license to a same-sex couple. “We don’t have a line,”

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2014

she said. “We’ve had phone calls in general regarding how people can get a marriage license.” To obtain a marriage license, Lambert said couples must come to the courthouse together with their driver’s licenses and letter stating that the couple has completed premarital counseling, if the couple has participated. Licenses are $5 with a letter and $50 without, she said. Lambert said the process to create a marriage license takes about 30 to 40 minutes after the application is completed. Connor Terry, Oklahoma State Queers and

Allies president, said he is shocked the decision was made so soon. “Most people were expecting some form of a decision to be made some time next year, and the fact that (the Supreme Court) decided instead to decline reviewing all of the cases concerning marriage equality is wonderful news,” Terry said. “There are many couples in the state who have been waiting for this day for years or even decades. It makes me very happy to know that when and if I want to, I can be legally recognized as married here in Oklahoma, and hopefully in all of the

O’COLLY

other states too in the near future.” Although the LGBT community is celebrating an enormous victory, The Equality Network is already preparing for future obstacles equal rights advocates may face. The Equality Network, a Tulsa-based organization that promotes pro-equality legislation, is currently looking at non-discrimination legislation at both the state and municipal levels, which supports employment protection for LGBT individuals. “Oklahoma is one of the few states that at this point does not have employment protection

for LGBT individuals, so there is the chance that people that get married could lose their jobs. And, that is what we are going to continue to fight against.” Oklahoma joins Indiana, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin as states in which same-sex marriage is legalized. Six more states — Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas, West Virginia and Wyoming — might have to lift their bans on same-sex marriage because of the Supreme Court’s rejection of the appeals. news@ocolly.com PAGE 4

Senate candidates debate key issues Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k State Sen. Connie Johnson (D - Oklahoma County) and U.S. Rep. James Lankford (R - Okla.) met in the Student Union Theater on Tuesday night to hash out the today’s issues. What ensued, however, was a respectful debate between two candidates. EBOLA Lankford stressed that the U.S. needs to verify whether people coming from West Africa have had contact with those infected by the virus and commented that President Barack Obama is doing a “decent” job handling the issue. He also called the U.S. to action by saying, “No other place in the world is better equipped than we are to deal with this disease, and it would be wrong of us as a nation to back up and say that we are just going to let half a million people die in West Africa because we are afraid.” Johnson referred to the disease as “the most dire world health issue of our time.” Johnson said that because of our “mobile society,” no one would consider it a hassle to participate in extra screening at ports and airports. “Until we get this virus under control, I don’t think any measure is too extreme,” she said. MARRIAGE EQUALITY Johnson said states

should not have the opportunity to define marriage. She argued that Oklahoma’s demographics have changed since 2004, when voters defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Johnson ended by saying that “we have a basic duty to respect humanity.” Lankford began his time by saying, “Every person is created in the image of God, every person. Every person has value and worth.” Lankford pointed to the fact that the 10th Amendment states that all issues not outlined in the constitution are reserved for the states to decide. Lankford said defining marriage is “uniquely a state issue” and said the federal government should not be involved. HEALTH CARE: A RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE? Johnson and Lankford agreed that quality health care is both a right and a privilege. Lankford said the wrong way to go about health care is to federalize it. “I don’t find anyone who thinks the health care system is working well right now as far as the payment system,” he said. He stressed health care will only become more complicated and expensive at the federal level. Johnson highlighted that the U.S. now has a healthcare proposal that is making a difference in the lives of Americans. Johnson pointed out that Oklahoma is ranked 48th in

the nation for health care. “That says to me that not only should it be a right, not only should it be a privilege, it should be a necessity,” she said. “Government exists to provide those things that we can’t do individually. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY Lankford and Johnson agreed that protecting religious liberty is essential. “I am absolutely, adamantly protective of religious liberty,” Lankford said. He said all people have the right to choose to be a part of any religion they choose, if they choose one at all.

“This is the United States of America we live in, so we should protect the religious liberties of every individual,” he said. “Now, there are some in the Islamic faith that cannot practice their faith apart from the government also being aligned with their faith.” Lankford said that one can’t be an individual who would try to “undercut” the U.S. government. Johnson said for the government to try to interfere with religious liberties would be an “embarrassment” and “a slap in the face to the people who choose to be different.” Johnson referred to religious liberty

O’COLLY

as a personal issue and said the government should not be addressing it. Johnson said people came to America searching for religious freedom and that is would be “unacceptable” to try and restrict Americans. REVIEWS “I thought it was an absolutely wonderful debate,” said Derek Wietelman, political science and statistics junior and president of OSU Young Democrats. “One thing I really appreciated, not only from Connie but Mr. Lankford as well, was just that both sides actually answered the ques-

tions. They didn’t just talk in lofty rhetoric or political rallying cries, but they actually answered the questions that were asked. As a politically astute person, that ‘s one thing I respected.” ”It was probably one of the most informative debates I’ve ever been to,” said Lucas Sheets, agricultural economics senior and president of OSU College Republicans. “We got to hear about the real issues and not squabbling back and forth. They were just both very straightforward. I thought that was really refreshing.” news@ocolly.com PAGE 5

Flowers ‘making a name’ after first OSU start Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

Larry Stephens approached Oklahoma State safety Tre Flowers before the Cowboys’ 37-20 win against Iowa State on Saturday and told Flowers the words he had waited all week to hear: “It’s on you.” Stephens, a senior and OSU’s regular starter at strong safety, did not practice leading up to the game after suffering a reported Achilles injury against Texas Tech. He was going to be a game-time decision, but wasn’t able to play. For Flowers — a redshirt freshman — the first reaction to getting the start wasn’t joy. It was nerves. “It’s crazy,” Flowers said. “If you’re not nervous, I don’t know what you’re doing.” Four quarters later, the nerves gave way to a little bit of pride. In his first start at OSU, Flowers held

ing up passes and making big tackles. He even covered for me on one play.” Flowers’ performance also earned praise from OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer. A sign Flowers has come a long way since Spencer said no young safeties impressed him this spring. “His role was big,” Spencer said. “Tre could start and be fine. Tre is that third guy that we shouldn’t blink with … I think he did great. Those young safeties are really maturing fast.” And despite Flowers and Sterns, a sophomore, being left to anchor OSU’s defensive backfield, there were no communication breakdowns or other mishaps resulting from youth. That’s likely because Flowers and Sterns have forged a strong chemistry since being AAU basketball rivals as early as age 9. The safeties developed a friendship through the recruiting process in high school when Flowers played at Converse Judson

try to do extra. Watch film and whatnot. He would see me with my cleats, he’d go back, get his cleats and go run with me. Or if I see him going to work out, I have to go with him. We constantly keep each other going.” And though his relationship with Sterns served as a constant, starting wasn’t the only change Flowers faced Saturday. He also had to switch his jersey from No. 7 to No. 31. That’s because he and wide receiver Brandon Sheperd both wear No. 7. But because OSU has both players on its kick coverage units, one player has to switch jerseys, and Sheperd had the seniority. “Coach (Mike) Gundy actually picked 31,” Flowers said. “He says it makes me look kinda bigger, so I actually like it.” Flowers said he was reluctant give up No. 7, mainly because of what it meant to him in high school. “We were called ‘the Money Team’ in high

athletic, and his uncle, Erik Flowers, played seven seasons in the NFL. Flowers’ brother, Rodney, plays football at Langston. His sister, Aleshia, played basketball at South Florida, and his cousin, Dimitri, is a freshman fullback at Oklahoma. Thanks in part to that bloodline, Flowers is a gifted athlete and doubles as a long-jumper for the

OSU track and field team. So regardless of what number he’s wearing, Flowers’ natural ability and breakout performance Saturday laid the groundwork for a strong future at OSU. “It doesn’t really matter,” he said. “(The player) makes the number. Now I gotta make a name for myself.” sports@ocolly.com

From Page 2 be at OSU, equating the use of the program to calling a cab. “It’s not like we don’t have a SafeRide system here, even in sleepy Stillwater — we do, it’s called a cab company,” she said. “The same people that don’t call a cab and that think they can drive or aren’t willing to call a friend are the same people that aren’t going to call SafeRide.” Andy Han, a finance junior and transfer student from OU, said he

frequently took advantage of the SafeRide program that OU offers. Han said the program was easy to use and convenient. “There’ s a number on (the voucher) and then you call them, give them your student ID number and then the number on your little voucher and then tell them where to pick you up,” he said. “They’ll come pick you up and take your number and drive you anywhere in Norman.” Han said that although he doesn’t see many people calling a cab when they are intoxicated, he said students would be more apt to utilize the program if it were free. “If SafeRide was free to them, I think they would

use it more than a cab,” he said. Bird said she is working with a student who is creating a proposal independent of burdening students with fees. Jessalyn McAlister, a marketing senior and SGA business senator, has been working with university administrators for two years to establish a program similar to SafeRide at OSU. McAlister said the biggest obstacles have been cost and liability. “Programs like this can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at some universities,” she said. “I want to find a creative way to fund the program and transport students.” She said she is hopeful to have a feasible idea by

the end of the semester and believes any potential program will take a few years to get started. McAlister said that from a student’s perspective, the program is responsible and a safe alternative to drunk driving. “Students are going to drink no matter what,” she said. Bird said about 39 to 41 percent of students at Oklahoma State engage in binge drinking. “It used to be that most of the drinking would occur on Friday night and Saturday night,” she said. “Now we’re looking at sometimes Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night (and) Saturday — that’s a problem.” Bird is aware of the fact that many fraternities

and sororities use freshman pledges as designated drivers and said there are better alternatives. “I don’t like using freshman,” she said. “I don’t think you should rob people of sleep because you don’t enough common sense or dignity not to get totally blasted.” Bird acknowledges that there are successful, longstanding programs like SafeRide, but said OSU needs a creative alternative. “I’m not opposed to SafeRide programs, I’m opposed to what’s been pitched that we need to do through student fees and volunteers because I so often see that fail,” Bird said. “We will not cure illegal drinking, we will not cure drunk driving

FLU FRENZY The flu is more than just a cold; it can be lethal

Amy Leet @OColly As the colder weather approaches, it’s a sure sign that flu season is also slowly starting. Although many students may think a runny nose and sore throat are signs of a cold, it could also be the symptoms of severe flu. Preventing the flu can be difficult, especially for a

busy college student. There’s constantly homework to hand in, tests to study for and social events to attend. Sleep doesn’t seem to fit into that schedule. Luckily, there are other preventative measures that can be taken to help prevent and stop the spread of the flu. WASH UP It’s always a good idea to wash your hands throughout the day. Doing so more often during flu season is

a good way to keep clean and maintain good hygiene, according to the Center for Disease Control. Even with clean hands, it’s still a good idea to avoid touching open and sensitive areas like the eyes, nose and mouth. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF Another way to stay healthy is to drink lots of fluids and eat nutritious foods as well as sleeping and exercising regularly, accord-

ing to the CDC. Eating healthy and staying clean are great ways to prevent illness, but sometimes they just aren’t enough. GET A SHOT Vaccines can also be useful. Walmart offers flu shots once flu season begins, and so does University Health Services. Tuesday in the Student Union, University Health Services offered free flu

shots to students all day. NOT TOO LATE If students missed out on the event, it’s no big deal. Jack Henneha, assistant director of health services, said the flu shot clinic was just a way to kick off the flu season. “We will be providing it free of charge as long as supplies last,” Henneha said. “We will also be doing some outreach clinics on campus for faculty and staff.” news@ocolly.com

From Page 3 when they are on the brink of death. Whether the animals come from a local vet or off the interstate, she said she loves each one with all her heart and gives them a safe farm to live out the rest of their lives. Some animals live with Nalley their entire life, like Boots, a cat who recently passed away after 16 years on her farm. “I kept seeing (Boots’ mother) at night as I drove home, and I’d leave food for her,” Nalley said. “ One

night she brought her babies, and I was able to get her and her babies and take them home. I gave all the other babies away, but I kept him.” Her students also have a loving mentor to lean on at all times. Nalley often goes far out of her way for her students. Sometimes even almost adopting the whole family as she did with one of her past students. This student was in the military, she had three children and the father had left. Nalley bought groceries, paid rent and even babysat the kids. Student Cindy Ignaszewski in a poem wrote “If I touch one person’s life as much as you have touched mine, then I will know for sure that God has a pur-

pose for me on this earth.” Nalley is also vice president for the Malta Conference Foundation, a group that Nalley said U.S. Congress nominated for the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize. “The Malta Conferences are the only platform in the world where scientists from 15 Middle East countries are collaborating and cooperating on scientific issues, as well as developing professional and personal relationships with each other,” Nalley said. “The common language of science is used for science diplomacy, serving as a bridge to tolerance, understanding and peace between the Arabs, Iranians and Israelis, and between the Muslim world
