BRIEFSHealthy lifestyle program open to students at campus fitness center

Starting Oct. 1, the Huston Huffman Fitness Center will offer weekly meetings aimed toward helping stu-dents fill their plates with healthy eating options.

The Full Plate Living Program encourages participants to eat “power-up” meals by filling their plates with fiber-rich 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 [email protected] to learn how to register.

Find out more about being a Camp Crimson group leader next year

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.

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 pur-suit 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 sup-port 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-encom-passing stance toward equality and hope their devotion to acceptance inspires all campus orga-nizations 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 per-son in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to dis-crimination under any education program or activity receiving feder-al financial assistance.”

Title IX is the basis for equality on college campuses, but we love that OU Quidditch not only follows Title IX but also expands equality to promote fair representation of all gender identifi-cations. 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

Students should get the most out of their tuition and fees by exploring all that OU has to offer. Many ser-vices and activities at OU are free to OU students, but

free can be another way of saying “your cost has been cov-ered by the mandatory fees you already paid.” Whether the lure of freebies or getting what you paid for attracts you, stu-dents should use some of these great services at least once.

EDITORIAL

Quidditch team sets excellent policy

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 individ-uals who differ from themselves. Too often cam-

pus 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 com-mon 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 fe-male. Every student at OU deserves to feel accept-ed on campus, and policies like OU Quidditch’s gender rule go a long way toward ensuring stu-dents can see themselves fairly represented at their university.

Students should take full advantage of free OU servicesFor your Health:+ Rent indoor and outdoor equipment from the Huston Huffman Fitness Center (camping equipment is available with fee).+ Choose from a variety of intramural sports at the Huff.+ Sign up for the Healthy Sooners 5K Fun Run on Sept. 27 at 8 a.m. (note: it is free but they want you to bring two cans of food to donate).+ Get your free flu shot Sept. 16-18, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Goddard Health Center with a valid student ID.

For your amusement:+ Stream movies in foreign languages online legally from the

Language Learning Center website. Don’t worry, there are subtitles. + Visit the always free Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.+ Visit the Sam Noble Natural History Museum, which is free to OU students and free to everyone on the first Monday of the month. + Non-honors students can participate in some honors ac-tivities. Make sure to check with activity organizers

There are definitely more perks than the ones I listed. Normally, one of my favorites would be the opportunity to visit the breathtaking History of Science collection on the fifth floor of Bizzell; however, renovations mean waiting until August 2015 to do so. They have a text that dates back to 1467 and first editions of all of Charles Darwin’s works.

I also left out a lot about the “free” activities held by the Campus Activities Council and Union Programming Board (among others) because, as they say, there’s ‘always some-thing’ going on in the union. Just in case you live under a rock, I should mention there’s a movie showing almost every weekend in the Union. Something you might not know is that you can suggest events and leave feedback on the “events” page of the UPB website. I hope you found some-thing new on this list so that you can maximize the value that comes with being an OU student.

HOROSCOPE By Eugenia Last

Copyright 2014, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2014

Embrace whatever comes your way this year. Re-evaluate what you want and make adjustments to your game plan. Flexibility and a desire for change will be required to make a leap of faith from your current position to a more suitable one. Only you can make it happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Keep your plans simple, and donʼt take on any rigorous challenges until you feel ready. A little personal nurturing will help you get back on track and be ready to conquer the world.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A few personal changes will enhance your looks and mood. Keep an eye out for a job opportunity that could lead to creative and stimulating things. Pitch-perfect timing will be necessary to advance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be proud of what you have accom-plished. Itʼs OK to let others see you shine. Your creative talents deserve attention, so blow your own horn and attract new opportunities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Recent events will open your eyes to someoneʼs motives. Donʼt let what occurs prevent you from expressing how you feel and what you want and expect.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you have been moody lately, it will be necessary to have an in-depth discus-sion with the person causing you grief. Donʼt put the blame elsewhere when half of it belongs to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Make an effort to implement positive lifestyle changes. Focus on raising your income by strengthening your skills, strategy and knowledge. If you strive for perfection, onlookers will take note.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A fi nancial opportunity is apparent. Someone may be confused by your recent attitude or opinion. Have an explanation ready, to avoid any interference regarding your plans.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A career change or a second job will help your fi nancial situation. Jump at the chance to enter into a partnership that offers long-term benefi ts and equal opportunities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Problems will occur if you are too headstrong or persistent. Do your homework before you make an out-spoken declaration, or you will have to backpedal to avoid awkwardness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Consider what self-improvements will bring the best results. You can learn a lot if you take the time to listen to opposing opinions. An unexpected party has a hidden interest in you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make your own choices. Following someone elseʼs agenda is not an effective way to advance. Aim to be more independent and self-suffi cient, and you will be noticed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A fi nancial change is apparent. Take a proactive approach and show your leadership ability. If you hesitate, you will lose a valuable opportunity that could bring you clout and economic privileges.

This is the watch Stephen Hollingshead, Jr. was

SOCCER

Women’s team conquers two opponents during weekend

SPENSER DAVISSports Reporter @Davis_Spenser

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 hav-ing not played a game away from Norman this season, but they stepped up to the task admirably.

After yielding a goal in the s ixth minute to the Cornhuskers, Oklahoma got back on track in the 71st min-ute when sophomore Ayana O’Neal scored an equalizer.

The game went into over-time 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 emotion-al victory at Nebraska, the Sooners had a long travel day on Saturday to get prepared for an offensive-minded Central Arkansas squad.

Un i v e 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.

O k l a h o m a d e f e n d e r s 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.

JACKIE EBY/THE DAILY

Freshman middle fielder, Victoria “Tori” Bowman, tries to keep the ball away from her defender during the game against Central Arkansas Sunday at John Crain Field.

The Sooners were dom-inant all the way through on Sunday, as they were far more physical and aggressive than the Bears. The five goals scored were a s eas on high, and Oklahoma nabbed its sec-o n d s h u t o u t of the season thanks to goal-keepers Kaitlyn Fa h r n e r a n d Kassidie Stade.

F r e s h m a n Madeline Brem had two goals, the first two of her career as a Sooner.

“ T h e f i r s t goal came from all of our work on set pieces that we worked on all summer,” Brem said.

“We just worked on getting in the box and having other

runners block the other play-ers tracking us, and I just hap-pened to be the one there. It was a team effort.”

T h i s i s a s q u a d t h a t continues to play well de-s p i t e b e i n g picked to finish last in the Big 12 preseason poll.

Junior Devin Barrett, who also got on the s c o r e s h e e t against Central Arkansas, at-t r i b u t e s t h e s t r o n g p l a y to hard work

during the offseason.“From the beginning of the

Sooners defeat Nebraska and Central Arkansas

summer and going into this fall season, we decid-ed that we were going to set a precedent for our-selves,” Barrett said. “We have our upper-classmen to show the younger kids what to do, but at the same time it starts with our freshman all the way up.”

Oklahoma will look to continue its hot streak away from Norman the next two weeks as they embark on a four-game road trip.

Next w e ekend the y will face off against North Texas and Tulsa before being tested in California against Universi ty of Colorado-Irvine and San Diego.

MACI MUIRHEADLife & Arts Reporter

Lunch can be a stressful time for catching up on home-work 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 mu-sicians 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 con-cert and still have time to grab lunch on the way back to the office,” Bendure said.

Throughout the semes-ter, students and faculty from the School of Music from varying instrument disciplines will perform. The first concert will feature flute professor Valerie Watts and two of her students, Samantha Hoffman, a se-nior student pursuing her bachelor’s in music educa-tion, and Lauren Hughes, a graduate student pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts in flute performance and liter-ature. Watts said that this is a great opportunity for her students to get valuable per-

formance experience.“They all have to play required recitals near the end of

their degrees, and it’s good to get as many opportunities as they can to perform with a live audience,” Watts said.

The fast-paced concerts will include pieces from vari-ous musical styles and instruments, according to Bendure. He said that instruments can vary from tubas and harps to laptops and synthesizers. According to Watts, the

first concert will range in style from classical and Native American to jazz and rock — all with a single flute.

“It’s a smorgasbord of sound. You get a taste of every-thing,” Watts said.

Many of the Tuesday Noon Concerts will precede Gallery Talks or Art After Noon programs that provide audience members a unique opportunity to experience a lot of art in a short amount of time, according to Bendure. A Gallery Talk

‘‘ with retired OU art professor and current museum exhibitor James Henkle will follow the first concert on Sept. 9.

“It’s a really unique opportunity to combine visual art with musical art. Visitors are invited to stay and explore the rest of the museum,” Bendure said.

Bendure said he hopes visitors will recognize how big of an opportunity Tuesday Noon Concerts are, not only for the musicians, but for the audience as well.

“The University of Oklahoma is turning out amazing mu-sicians every year and the next big popular performer may come out of OU. You might get to listen to someone before they make it big,” Bendure said.

1. SHEPARD DELIVERS CAREER GAME

2. KNIGHT CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

4. RUNNING BACKS PROVIDE SPARK

3. TURNOVERS KEY FOR DEFENSE

5. GASTELUM EARNS SCHOLARSHIP

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 T u l s a , S h e p a r d has totaled 16 c a t c h e s f o r 3 0 0 y a rd s and four t o u c h -downs.

Trevor Knight con-t i n u e s t o p r o v i d e s o l i d q u a r t e r b a c k play for the Sooners. In Tulsa, Knight lo oke d more like the player he did against Alabama than h e d i d i n l a s t 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.

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 touch-d o w n b y s e n i o r linebacker Geneo G r i s s o m — h i s second pick in the last three games. Sophomore cor-n e r b a c k Z a c k Sanchez snagged his fourth interception in his last five games, span-ning back to the end of last season.

Keith Ford, Alex Ross and Samaje Perine have showed that their inexpe-rience 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 in-dication, Oklahoma’s running backs coach Cale Gundy should have no worries on production from his three ball carriers this season.

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 eject-ed after being called for targeting. He re-corded eight tackles along with an inter-ception in the end-zone in the final min-ute of the game.

TECHNOLOGY

Eight iPhone 6 features we might see TuesdayThe 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 mil-

lion 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.

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 4.7-inch 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.

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 curva-ceous design that won’t dig into your hands as much.

Even the screen will be rounded slightly.

5: Faster processor and internals

The iPhone 5S featured the world’s first mobile 64-bit processor, the A7, making it one of the most power-ful 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.

7: Mobile payments

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.

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 pho-tos 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 perfect-

ly flush as it is on the current model.

6: iOS 8

Apple actually already unveiled iOS 8, the latest oper-ating system for the iPhone and iPad, in June. It has yet to be released, however. The iPhone 6 will almost cer-tainly come preloaded with iOS 8, making it the first de-vice 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.

8: iWatch

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 mys-tery 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.

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 pos-itively massive and would dwarf the iPhones Apple is selling now.
