Top: Students tape their mouths shut and link arms as they walk to Evans Hall on Wednesday afternoon. OU’s black community organized the event over social media to draw attention to black students’ issues.

Bottom: Students embrace each other as they gather outside of Copeland on Wednesday afternoon to march to Evans Hall.

Unheard led a unity march Wednesday afternoon down the South Oval and through Evans Hall to spread awareness of the group’s complaints about lack of black representation, culture and support at OU. Before the march, senior and Unheard member Naome Kadira greeted the group and spoke of its mission. Graduate student Russell Bouyer sang to the group briefly.

Hookah brings people together

From nothing to a full Ph.D program

The story behind Norman’s only hookah lounge PARIS BURRIS

Campus News Editor @ParisBurris

Aaron Nelson didn’t know how the decision to quit his job as a cruise ship magician two days before setting sail to his dream destination — Australia — to buy a small hookah lounge in Norman, Oklahoma, would turn out.

Two years later, Nelson is happy he made that decision.

Sheikh Hookah Lounge, located at 117 N. Crawford Ave, is more than an opportunity for the Tuttle native and OU alumnus to work with Sheikh Hookah hookah.

Nelson realized he had lost his connection with people when a couple of nurses, who he worked with during his time as an emergency medical technician, told him he was “the

A decades-spanning passion for advocating the study of Native American art has earned the director of OU’s School of Art and Art History state-wide recognition.

Regents professor and director emeritus Mary Jo Watson was surprised when she found out that she would be inducted into the hall of fame for the Oklahoma Higher Education Heritage Society, an organization that promotes research and history in higher education.

“The idea is to have someone who dedicated their academic life to a quality of learning and studying in Oklahoma,” said Rozmeri Basic, interim co-director of the MARY JO WATSON school of art and art history.

Watson’s interest in educating people about Native American culture inspired her to teach the first Native American art history course at OU in 1980, she said.

“There are still pockets of great poverty, bad health and a lack of information about Indians nationwide,” Watson said.

The movement attracted the attention of many people at the university, including several Housing and Food staff members and OU basketball player Isaiah Cousins.

After hearing about the march, Cousins decided to participate since he felt he could relate to the group’s ideals.

Cousins’ main issues stemmed from his experiences with unequal treatment as a black student and athlete.

“They assume that we’re athletes because we’re tall, and they’re always asking TONY RAGEL/THE DAILY us questions about basketball,” Cousins said. “They Students marching hand-in-hand into Evans Hall during the Unheard march on Wednesday afternoon. don’t ask us ‘How are you Students used tape to cover their mouthes and marched from the South Oval to Evans Halls.

Nelson traveled to countless countries performing magic on several Carnival Cruise ships. But after the hookah lounge he frequented during his vacations home from work was put up for sale, he knew that he had to grab it.

“Buying the hookah bar has allowed me to be home,” said Nelson, a bachelor who currently lives in Tuttle about a mile away from his parents, who have recently developed health issues.

Nelson enjoyed his job as a cruise ship magician, but knew he couldn’t do it forever because of how much time he “It’s definitely spent on the job. different than your Now, Nelson gets more time with his parents. local coffee shop Nelson’s parents aren’t the where you walk in, only ones he’s gotten to connect with since buying the you get the same lounge. thing, you sit down “You can come in one in the same spot.” night and there’s a group of Middle Easterners in a corBRIAN SHEETZ, ner, there’ll be a group of HOOKAH LOUNGE REGULAR rich white kids in another corner and then some thug black kids over in another corner, and they’ll all talk and all communicate, and it’s just, they’re all on equal ground here,” Nelson said.

The lounge offers a different environment for people wanting to branch out of their monotonous routines.

“It’s definitely different than your local coffee shop where you walk in, you get the same thing, you sit down in the same spot, you got on your computer for an hour or whatever,” said Brian Sheetz, a regular customer and former employee.

Belly dancers perform at 9 p.m. every Saturday at Sheikh Hookah Lounge. Live music, comedy acts and other forms of entertainment are also occasionally part of the lounge’s atmosphere.

Nelson plans to eventually relocate to a bigger venue in Norman, since fire code only allows for up to 75 people in the current building at one time.

Nelson hasn’t visited Australia since he turned down the opportunity two years ago, but he hasn’t given up on his goal.

“Now that the bar is paid off, I can make money and start planning for that.”

A

There is no better way to begin the season than to break a school record. The team’s most prominent player showed that he hasn’t missed a step from last season by drilling seven three-pointers without a miss in the season opener. Hield works as a prolific and dependable scorer, creating good shots for himself off the dribble and in transition. The junior guard has also improved his focus and effort defensively, creating havoc in traps and playing the passing lanes on defense.

But it’s hard not to admire what he does as a scorer. Hield has logged 16 or more points 11 times this season. The Sooners have evolved from being a team that would go as far as Hield could carry them, but it is always nice to have a potential NBA talent donning crimson and cream.

Thomas has developed nicely in the past few weeks after a slow start to the season, being named Big 12 Men’s Newcomer of the Week twice. The 6-foot-8 transfer from Houston came in as a strong-bodied, two-way player who can use his strength to score inside and derail the opposition on the defensive end.

Thomas possesses the tools needed to make a formidable duo with Spangler when facing some of the bigger, more physical frontcourts in the conference.

GRADES e are just past the midway point of the men’s basketball season, and The Daily has put together its grades for the OU squad thus far.

GUARD JORDAN WOODARD:

C+

While he’s the youngest and the smallest in the starting lineup, Woodard also serves as the primary facilitator in the backcourt. The sophomore guard struggled early in the season with turnovers, but he is a shifty guard who, at his best, can initiate the offense, run the fastbreak and get to the free throw line. What is concerning is Woodard’s step back in scoring efficiency from last season. He is shooting just 31 percent from the field and 14 percent from deep. While he has room 211169A01 4.25" for improvement in his scoring percentages and his game in general as a young guard, he can still be effective in other aspects and can certainly push the ball as the lead point.

B+

Spangler continues his role as a rugged, do-it-all big that helps the team in ways that don’t show on the stat sheet. The senior forward is the shining example of hustle as he goes for loose balls, bangs in the interior and creates opportunities offensively through screens and picks. Spangler also serves as the rim protector with his brute strength. His rebounding prowess can be seen statistically. Currently, he averages 8 rebounds per game, which is good for second in the Big 12. Add in his sufficient offensive game and Spangler has logged four double-doubles midway through the season.

The maturation of junior guard Isaiah Cousins’ game has been fun to watch. Cousins has become a more controlled, smart and efficient player while maintaining his strong, aggressive nature. To start, Cousins has developed into an incredible shooter from the perimeter, hitting 46 percent of his three-point shots. The active guard is also among the club’s best rebounders, and while Cousins plays as a de facto small forward in the three-guard lineup, it is still an impressive accomplishment.

Defensively, he’s as solid as one can be in the backcourt. Cousins works against the lead defender, actively trapping and pressuring in the Sooners’ chaotic full court press.

Cousins’ overall progression is one of the reasons why Oklahoma remains among the most potent backcourts in the country.
