Today is the preferred deadline for seniors to apply for December graduation, and those seniors can apply for graduation through Ozone.

Seniors should apply by today so there is enough time to flag student records for review so the student can be cleared for graduation, Graduation Office director Becky Heeney said in an email.

Also, it gives seniors time to meet with degree clearance advisers to check for any unfinished business before graduation, such as submitting official transcripts for schoolwork done outside of OU, Heeney said.

RESEARCH

Soil samples help drug advances OU research team unveils treatments for various diseases JUSTINE ALEXANDER News Reporter @caffeinejustine

You don’t need a pharmacology degree to help develop new drugs. You just need a bag of dirt.

The Natural Products Discovery Group, a research team on campus that develops drugs from naturally occurring microbes, is asking for community members to contribute to their research by submitting earth samples. The goals of the crowd sourcing are twofold: to spread information about the scientific process and drug discovery and to identify bioactive compounds from soil samples supplied by volunteers, said Robert H. Cichewicz, the group’s principal investigator.

After receiving dirt from volunteers, the group’s researchers test bacteria and fungi from samples for reactions against cancer, dan- Staphylococcus aureus, gerous microbes and diseas- more commonly known es from parasites, Cichewicz as MRSA, according to the said. group’s website.

with this research are mailed in with prepaid postage, but OU students can hand-deliver bagged samples with signed waivers to Cichewicz or to his assistant, Candace Coker, he said.

Though some of the group’s work relies on dirt samples, they also work with other materials. Cichewicz and fellow investigator Brad Stevenson are working on a project culturing organisms from carrion, he said.

But before students b r i ng t h e i r m o l d y l e f tovers or roadkill, Cichewicz asks they send an email for permission and safety purposes.

Volunteers who send in samples will receive updates about the research, but the results take time and can be

discouraging, he said. “I’ve been doing this since 2005 ... and we’re down to maybe three compounds that are even worth talking about in terms of future potential,� Cichewicz said.

Once in a while, Cichewicz has even seen fungal extracts that encourage cancer cell growth, he said.

This type of investment risk is part of the reason pharmaceutical companies are not participating in natural product discovery research, Cichewicz said.

Time and effort are also factors, Cichewicz said. The drug development process is a 12- to 15-year process in itself, and it can be challenging to culture the organisms, he said.

“There are no major pharmaceutical companies with a natural products program anymore,� Cichewicz said. “It puts a lot more responsibility on labs like ourselves.�

The funding climate is also not great in this area, but everyone in the biomedical sciences is having difficulties right now, he said.

JOURNALS: Officials will examine value of titles Continued from page 1 The cancellation marks the beginning of a process during which OU officials will determine which titles are most useful to students, Rupp-Serrano said.

Access to titles through the Oxford journals program will end after December, Rupp-Serrano said. However, some of these titles can be accessed through other databases, RuppSerrano said.

OU formerly had access to a large number of Oxford journals through the Greater Western Library Alliance, RuppSerrano said.

This kind of agreement is known as a “Big Deal� in library jargon, Rupp-Serrano said.

Other institutions in the Greater Western Library Alliance include Oklahoma State University and the University of

Colorado at Boulder, according to the alliance’s website.

The Oxford journals were evaluated based on data about their total usage, cost and cost per use, among other considerations, Rupp-Serrano said.

OU faculty feedback was encouraged during the evaluation process, Rupp-Serrano said. “We also sought feedback from departments and the subject librarians that work with those departments,� RuppSerrano said.

However, Cichewicz said he isn’t discouraged. “Nature keeps producing things that the human mind has never even fathomed,�

Cichewicz said.

OUR VIEW

October highlights fight for marriage equality Our View: LGBT History Month is an important

opportunity for students to learn about LGBTQ issues and be part of an accepting campus environment.

October is LGBT History Month, and we believe it’s important to take these 31 days to engage in events hosted by OU’s LGBTQ programs and practice acceptance toward all Sooners. LGBT History Month gives us an opportunity to learn about the important contributions of LGBTQ individuals throughout history and engage in discussions about continued efforts for true equality in the U.S. The fight for marriage equality in the U.S. has advanced in recent years with state judges ruling gay marriage bans unconstitutional across the country.

Fortunately, there are multiple events this month offering education and discourse about gay marriage, in particular, an Oklahoma case involving the state’s constitutional gay marriage ban.

An event hosted by the Norman chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays — PFLAG — on Friday at the University of Oklahoma Law School will feature the defendants and attorneys of an Oklahoma lawsuit challenging the state’s 2004 constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

In 2004, Sharon Baldwin and Mary Bishop sued

Sally Howe Smith, a Tulsa County court clerk who denied the couple’s request for a marriage license.

The case was advanced in January after a Tulsa federal judge ruled in the couple’s favor. The judge’s decision was subsequently upheld by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and has since made its way to the Supreme Court. Smith, the court clerk in the lawsuit, has asked the Supreme Court to review the case, making it one of several similar state cases before the The Our View Supreme Court. is the majority The case is a landmark victory opinion of for gay rights in Oklahoma and The Daily’s follows the trend of courts ruling nine-member editorial board states must abandon bans on gay marriage. Baldwin and Bishop will both be in attendance at the Norman PFLAG event Friday.

The appeals court judges who upheld Bishop and Baldwin’s lawsuit ruled that Oklahoma’s constitutional state ban of gay marriage violates the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees due process and equal protection for all citizens. We agree with supporters of marriage equality that marriage is a basic right in the U.S., a right that should not be denied based on your gender or that of your partner.

Furthermore, we believe it is essential for students to engage in LGBTQ events that honor the lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual and queer individuals have suffered throughout U.S. history.

Sooner Ally — an OU student organization that promotes awareness, knowledge and acceptance of LGBTQ issues — is hosting “A Community of Hope” on Wednesday, a candlelight vigil intended to promote remembrance and celebrate the LGBTQ community.

It’s important for Sooners to attend this event to learn about human experiences that differ from their own and to pay tribute to the injustices LGBTQ people frequently suffer. This year’s candlelight vigil will also feature Paula Sophia Schonauer as a guest speaker. Scholnauer was Oklahoma City’s first openly transgender police officer and is a veteran of Operation Desert Storm. Schonauer retired as a police officer to run for Oklahoma State House, which might make her Oklahoma’s first transgender state representative as well.

We encourage students to engage in LGBT History Month events as a way to grow culturally and show mutual respect for every person at OU, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation or creed.

Q&A:

indie-pop artist soko Before Foster the People and Fitz and the Tantrums perform, French musician Soko will take the stage in OKC

KEATON BELL LIFE AND ARTS REPORTER @KILDEBELL

T

his Thursday, Foster the People and Fitz and the Tantrums will be performing at the OKC Downtown Airpark. While you may go in specifically to sing along to “Pumped Up Kicks” or dance around to “The Walker,” chances are you’re going to be transfixed by the time the opening act is finished.

Born Stephanie Sokolinski in Bordeaux, France, in 1986, French musician Soko is an indie-pop wunderkind. With tenderly restrained vocals that cut to the core of her lively songwriting, Soko is like the chipper offspring of Bjork and Keren Ann. She originally burst onto the scene in 2007 when her debut single, “I’ll Kill Her,” became a major hit in several European countries. For a while, Soko looked destined to break out as “the next big thing” with her various film projects and “it girl” status. But after announcing herself “dead” as a musician in 2009, she finally reclaimed the spotlight with her electrifying debut album, 2012’s “I Thought I Was An Alien.” Buoyed by the stunning track “We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow,” the album reintroduced Soko to the world as an artist already in charge of her craft. She wasn’t some onehit wonder out for stardom but an artist ready to pursue something she truly loved.

Now Soko is ready to unleash her burgeoning creative passion onto the world. We’ve already had a taste of what Soko has been cooking up with her latest release, the atmospheric single “Love Letter.” In between her film projects, upcoming album and tour dates with Foster the People, it’s looking like this will be the year she reclaims the spotlight.

Q: What are you most excited about on this tour with

Foster The People? What sort of tips or ideas have you picked up from them, or vice versa?

a:

Oh my. Well, it’s my first real American tour with a real band and all, and I’m about to perform so many new songs, so I’m really excited to test out the new record and finally play it live. I had never even heard all of these songs played live all together out of the studio, so this is huge for me. Mark (Foster, frontman for Foster the People) is a really good friend, and he has been so supportive of me and my music, and I got to spend time in the studio with them on a writing session. They’re so good at their instruments, so creative, so fast, so inspired. It’s really amazing to witness such a vivid creative energy, and very inspiring to be around.

Q: What are some of the biggest differences you’ve

noticed touring in America versus touring in your native France?

You’ve labeled yourself “self-destructive” and your fashion has often been called “punk-chic.” But when taking into account that you live a clean lifestyle free of meat and drugs, do you think people automatically like to make assumptions about you and your music?

This is just the only outlet that I’ve found that allows me to survive, really. I strive for real emotions, raw feelings and passion, and translating all of that into acting, music GO AND DO and writing is just the most natural and Foster the vital thing in the world for me. There’s just People, Fitz and no way around it. It’s like I need to put all of my thoughts and feelings into an outlet the Tantrums and transform my fears and depression and Soko into something a little more positive.

Some people think because my voice is so raspy and I’m French that I must smoke a lot of cigarettes, but I’ve never even smoked one cigarette in my whole life. And yes, I’m self-destructive, just like every other artist that isn’t scared to put themselves out there, raw and open … We all have our quirks. It’s just about whether you assume it or not.

SAFETY

Professor to make quake video Scott Hodgson’s films teach earthquake safety tips

BY THE NUMBERS Past Oklahoma earthquakes

PAGE JONES

Earthquakes recorded Tuesday

News Reporter @pageousm

An OU professor is leading an effort that will provide people with practical information about what to do when earthquakes strike.

Broadcast and electronic media professor Scott Hodgson, who won an Emmy Award for his video “Suddenly…On an Average Day,” is well-known for his videos that explain what to do after an earthquake.

However, Hodgson’s current video project, in collaboration with Southern Illinois University, will instruct people what to do before an earthquake happens.

Hodgson wanted to make preparedness videos that provided specific instructions, something safety websites don’t always do, he said. For example, though the Federal Emergenc y Management Agency website tells people to attach hot water heaters to their walls in case of an earthquake, many people don’t know how to do this.

“When you look at websites like [FEMA’s], all you see for preventative measures are text and graphics, so what we want to do is make videos showing people what to do,” Hodgson said.

The videos will also detail how to make an earthquake to-go kit, what to put in it and where to put it, Hodgson said.

To weather earthquakes safely, people need a kit under their beds, Hodgson

“The most reported injury during the Napa Valley earthquake was cut feet,” Hodgson said. “Because it took place at night, people were asleep when it happened, and when they got out of bed there was glass

GRADUATION: Seniors graduating in December should check degrees Continued from page 1 To apply for graduation, seniors can visit Ozone, go to the Academic Tab and scroll to the Graduate Sooner module toward the bottom right of the page, Heeney said.

“It can dramatically trip up after-graduation plans for a student to realize that [they] won’t be cleared to graduate because they have missed a degree requirement,” Heeney said.

After OU has finished video production, SIU will distribute the content to the various emergency agencies for each state, starting with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, which has given a grant

to SIU to make the videos, Henson said.

The agency will ultimately decide whether the videos are distributed, Henson said.

Hodgson said he is optimistic about the outcome and hopes the video will

eventually be distributed to all states.

Filming is expected to begin in May and, though Hodgson and a few other professionals will help, it will be mostly student-run, Hodgson said.

“We are looking for people with passion for production, but we are also looking for carpenters to help build some of these sets, and we’re doing a lot of special effects,” Hodgson said.

OU will receive $165,000 from the IEMA grant to go towards set production and special effects, Hodgson said. The money will also go toward paying some students working on the project, Hodgson said.

While filming begins in May, Hodgson will begin set building and constructing scenarios over the next few months, partially in some of his classes.

The Oklahoma volleyball team will be carrying momentum from its comeback win against Kansas over the weekend into its match Wednesday against TCU. On Saturday, the Sooners (10-4, 1-0) faced Kansas and overcame a two set deficit to win the match 3-2. They will take the energy from that match and use it as motivation against the Horned Frogs. “We’re still riding on that high, and it will definitely show it in our next game,� junior outside hitter Kierra Holst said.

Losing to Kansas could have given the Sooners an entirely different outlook on their schedule going forward. It would’ve been their third loss in a row and a bad blow in their first Big 12 match of the season.

The Horned Frogs (11-5, 1-1) are a force on the outside with two talented outside hitters, Ashley Smith and Blair Pickens. They defeated Iowa State for the first time in program history at home on Saturday, and they should be beaming with confidence as they come into Norman. “We’re going to have to really focus on blocking them and having a good forehand setup at the net on each of the pins,� redshirt sophomore outside hitter Madison Ward said.

Holst and Ward also added that the Horned Frogs are a very high-energy team, and that they will need to make sure that whatever is happening on the other side of the net does not get to them. “We’re going to have to communicate a lot,� Ward said. “They’re a team with

NOTEBOOK DILLON HOLLINGSWORTH FOOTBALL BEAT REPORTER @DILLONJAMES94

Sooners prepare to face threatening quarterback in match against TCU Containing the quarterback Heading into this weekend’s game against TCU, the Sooners are prepared to face a different kind of quarterback than any they’ve played so far this season.

Junior Trevone Boykin is a threat through the air and on the ground. He’s even played a little wide receiver for the Horned Frogs.

“He’s always had great talent,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “His arm strength, his ability to make plays on his feet — he’s a very complete player. You can see his accuracy is much better, much different this year and his ability to throw the ball accurately and very precisely gives them a lot of different options across the field.”

Containing Boykin is something the Sooners have focused on while preparing for TCU throughout their bye week.

“That’s a big emphasis this week — when our D-lineman have to contain, make sure you keep him contained and keep him in the pocket because when he gets outside the pocket he’s dangerous,” senior cornerback Julian Wilson said. “Because when you think he’s going to tuck the ball and run he throws it on one foot for 60 yards.”

The OU defense has made a habit of hassling the opposing quarterback so far this season. Sophomore linebacker Dominique Alexander said it is even more important this week.

“We’ve just got to get to the quarterback so he doesn’t have all day to sit back there and just get it to his receivers,” Alexander said.

JACQUELINE EBY/THE DAILY

Sophomore quarterback, Trevor Knight, hands the ball off to sophomore running back, Keith Ford, during the game against Louisiana Tech on Saturday Aug. 30 at Owen Field. The Sooners dominated the Bulldogs with a 48-16 win.

Dominant defenses Two weeks ago, the Sooners were preparing for a match up with a high-powered offense in West Virginia.

This week they are getting ready to face a traditional defensive power in Fort Worth, Texas. Alexander said it does not affect the way the OU defense will prepare for the game.

“It’s not different,” he said. “You look at every game the same way. You just try to go out there and give it your all and give your best, and just try to hold the offense to as little points as possible.”

Opponent’s new look This will mark OU’s third contest with TCU since the Horned Frogs joined the Big 12. Coach Gary Patterson’s squad has a different style of offense than it has in the past.

“They spread it around more,” Stoops said. “It’s not totally different than what they did to us a year ago, a lot of similar formations, spread formations, empty backfield sets.

They’re not drastically different … but I think it’s different how they spread the ball, how [Boykin] gets the ball out of his hands and how he knows where to go with the football.”

Sanchez close to full health

Back from the bye

Sophomore cornerback Zack Sanchez has started every game this season while picking up an interception in each.

But Sanchez has not been fully healthy since injuring his shoulder against Tulsa in week two.

Sanchez is expected to be healthier than he has been since the injury after getting a week off before this Saturday’s game.

“He’s practiced every day, so hopefully he’s ready to go,” Stoops said. “I think he is. He’s practiced well and he hasn’t taken any snaps off. So I would imagine he’s good to go.”

The Sooners are coming out of their first bye week of 2014, and after four consecutive games it was a welcome break, senior tight end Blake Bell said.

“It helps everyone get some rest and get their legs back,” he said. “If you were nicked up from the week before you can see if you can get going for that next week.”

Bell said the extra time off also helped OU prepare for TCU. “You can watch a little more extra film on the opponent you’re playing the next week and get more tuned in with that.”
