After 16 years of service, OU’s history department chairman is stepping down to devote more time to teaching and research.

Robert Griswold announced his plans to step down as department chairman in July.

“I think the department is ready for a change,” he said, adding that he is eager to devote more time to teaching and research.

Members of the history department voted last week to nominate candidates

for the new department chairman.

All three candidates expressed prior interest in the position and were then nominated by their colleagues, Griswold said.

British history Professor James Hart, British history professor Judith Lewis and ancient history Professor Daniel Snell were selected as

colleagues and students and candidates.

Faculty-in-residence adjusts to program, campus life Schlupp lives with two sons, daughter MIKE WORMLEY Campus Reporter

The double doors to the north side of the Walker Center front desk hide the great room of apartment 123 — the center’s facultyin-residence apartment of that center. A scan of the apartment reveals clusters of overstuffed armchairs, long couches and bookshelves filled with movies and books in English and German.

The inhabitants of the eclectic space? Ingo and Andrea Schlupp, their sons Nils and Jan and daughter Lab. The family members are natives to Hamburg,

Germany, who have lived in Norman since 2005 but only just returned in August from a one-year hiatus.

As a zoology professor Ingo said his greatest challenge in adapting to the U.S. was learning the process of funding through the National Science Foundation for his work in the lab.

Andrea Schlupp, a homemaker who will be attending classes next semester, said her largest adjustment came with the placement of their children when they first moved to Oklahoma. Nils, the eldest, was 15 years old at the time and entering ninth grade. Both Nils and Jan are now students at the University of Oklahoma.

She described the education “I’m glad I got this system in Hamburg as one chance. It helps in which students know me understand early on whether they will be attending college or not how difficult it is and what the focus of their with all the things studies will be.

and then the Faculty-inResidence program, Ingo said that there were many rewards.

“I like to show the students that I am a person with a personal life,” Ingo said. “We have always opened up to students.”

He said he gets an energy from incoming aspiring learners and helping them with early experiences is his main motivation for joining the program.

NROTC begins football relay Run to Texas spans 217 miles MIKE WORMLEY Campus Reporter

Football head coach Bob Stoops placed the game ball for the upcoming OU-Texas game into the hands of Lauren Winn Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps midshipman Wednesday morning to kick off a run that has become a 15-yearlong tradition.

The run spans the 217 miles from the doors of the Ar mor y on Brooks Street to the Cotton Bowl and into the hands of the referees. Staff Sergeant Tom Watts, battalion executive officer of the Naval ROTC detachment, said this year there will be 82 runners running in teams of two or three for 10-to-15-mile legs carrying the ball “without fumbling it” to Dallas for Saturday’s game.

“There will also be between one and five midshipmen on the road at all times,” Watts said.

The run should end Friday when OU’s Naval ROTC will meet up with the University of Texas’ Naval ROTC detachment, who will have completed its own 220-mile run, for a game of flag football. mike wormley mike.wormley-1@ou.edu

Having only been active in the program since August, the Schlupps have hosted one event and participated in another. They hosted Oktoberfest, which attracted about 100 people Sept. 28 to the lobby of Walker Center — which had been decorated in Bavarian blue and white and offered visitors “Germanlike” food.

Ingo said he was overwhelmed by the event at first. The Schlupps have said they plan to do 10 additional events ranging in ideas from mocktail or non-alcoholic cocktail parties, adopt-acop events, bagel breakfasts, midnight pancakes, sundae Sundays and international events related to Germany and study abroad.

Beyond the events, Ingo said their living space is open to students for use, including the kitchen.

“Last week, we had [a resident adviser] come and ask if we had the tools for carving a watermelon,” he said. “We told her she could just use the kitchen if she wanted.”

Andrea said this openness is a carryover from when their sons were in high school and brought friends over, including public relations senior Emma Hunsaker.

“I actually thought the parents hated me for the longest time,” Hunsaker said. “I would show up to harass their sons, so there’s this running joke, whenever I would show up at their house the mom would be like ‘oh it’s that Emma girl again!’ But they are really cool people.”

Hunsaker said she found

interpersonal discrimination is a fact of life for many.

But we’ve seen that it does get better. In order to continue this trend of progress, GLBTQ Americans must come out and be counted, and their fellow citizens must do what they can to make their communities safe places in which to exit the closet.

So do your part to make this community inclusive.

If you’re an ally, work to ensure your fellow Sooners feel safe enough to live honestly. If you’re a member of the GLBTQ community, consider coming out.

In the end, today is a fullfillment of the promise made by one of the first openly gay politicians, Harvey Milk, before he was assassinated: “If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.”

Guest column

Come out to honor efforts of those who fought for our progress “Mom, I need to tell you GUEST columnist something.” It was my senior year of high school and I’d found the courage to come out. “I think I’m gay.” The onslaught of questions inquiring why I think I’m gay was an unexpected consequence of the Joe Sangirardi conversation. joe@ou.edu The summer before this, I attended my first church camp. I was raised Catholic, but found myself out of my element at a United Church of Christ camp. Given the option, I chose to attend a workshop titled, “Mentoring Queer Youth.” I was the youngest in the room by a decade or two and the only nonminister. I’m not sure if it was ever explicitly said, but I did get a message from the workshop: ‘If you’re not a part of the solution, you’re a part of the problem.’ This prompted an intense and insightful self-reflection that led to me coming out, which led to the conversation with my mother.

My greatest fear wasn’t being rejected by my friends or family in high school. When I came out, my Eagle Scout ceremony was a month away. That’s what I was worried about.

I had wanted it since the second grade. I kept replaying in my head what one of my Eagle Scout interviewers had asked me: “Can anyone ever take this way from you?” I had been silent. He said, “No.” I hadn’t been awarded it yet,

though. And I had a month to go. Thankfully, the month passed and things were fine. Fellow scouts and troop leaders found out and nothing happened. In fact, I made it a point to call guys out who called each other “gay” and “fag.” They always shut up.

Over the last four years since I came out, I’ve been asked many times if I will join the movement of scouts who rescind their achievement in protest of the Boy Scout’s anti-gay policies. Whenever I hear the interviewer’s question in my head, I now have an answer: “No one can take this away from me.” That applies to the Boy Scouts of America, too. I refuse to give it back because there are gay boy scouts — no policy will change that. So, I still have my Eagle and my pride. And now I advocate for the scouts to change its policy. Things will change. They already are changing.

Nearly a week ago I attended the Oklahoma Regent’s “Student Leadership Retreat” in Oklahoma City. In the closing session, the speakers asked the more than 200 students what issues are most important to our generation.

“Healthcare!”

“Guns!”

“Jobs!”

“The environment!”

I realized the time to yell things out was closing, so I spoke up. “Marriage Equality!”

There was applause. Yes, applause. I was awestruck.

The speaker calmed everyone and said, “I think what we’re really talking about here is gay marriage.” He then

conducted a poll: “Who here supports gay marriage?”

Half the room raised their hands. “Who is against it?”

A dozen or so raised their hands. That confirmed it for me. Our generation is different, even in Oklahoma. Over 29 institutions were represented at this session, from Panhandle State to OU. Half of them openly supported marriage equality.

We have inherited a culture more accepting than ever of the GLBT community. Times like last Friday help me understand what that means. People have fought for gay rights for decades to give us the opportunity to hold events like the candlelight vigil on the South Oval last Wednesday without protest. We are indebted to them for this gift — for the acceptance, not just tolerance, they fostered.

Four decades ago, police ransacked gay clubs and city ordinances were passed barring gays from teaching. We have come a long way since then. We didn’t do it, though.

The generations before us did. They were brave. They were strong. They were patriotic. They advocated. It’s our turn to pay it forward, if not for the third grader who gets bullied for being gay, then for the people who dedicated their lives so we could hold hands walking down the South Oval.

We have our dignity and rights as a community, and we should think about who we are and say, “No one can take this away from us.” It is our turn to make a change. Stand up. Stand out. Let’s move our generation forward. It takes each one of us.

Joe Sangirardi, UOSA president

order to protect yourself in a joint endeavor you have with another, it’s imperative you make your views known right up front, or else decisions might be made that bypass your interests.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Hopefulness and optimism are needed in all of our lives, but you can’t leave out realism either. It takes a lot more than just wishful thinking to make things happen the way we want them to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Accept people for who they are, and not for what they can do for you. If your motives are purely self-serving, it will quickly be perceived, and you’ll look bad in the eyes of others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s not unheard of for family members to pull in different directions, which could happen today. It takes harmony of purpose to get anything done.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Flow with events, instead of resisting changes that others want to make. If you work with them, things will turn out well in the long run.

FOOTBALL

Special teams could be key vs. UT Former Penn State teammates will meet at Cotton Bowl TOBI NEIDY

Sports Reporter

The battle for Red River bragging rights between Oklahoma and Texas usually pits fellow Texan natives against one another in the historic matchup on neutral soil in Dallas. Currently, the Sooners have 47 players who call the state of Texas home.

“Being from Texas, we usually go down the roster and look at the names and towns and say, ‘hey I played against him or that high school in the playoffs’,” senior defensive end R.J. Washington said.

But this year’s 107th meeting of the rivalry series also will feature a unique reunion of two veteran players who never have had the chance to run into the stadium that is completely divided between the crimson and orange.

OU senior wide receiver Justin Brown and Texas junior kicker Anthony Fera couldn’t have predicted they would be on teams this close in proximity, let alone having to face one another in such a unique rivalry game.

After the NCAA lowered the sanctions on Penn State last June, Fera, who originally is from Cypress, Texas, took off to join the Longhorns, while the Sooners picked up Brown, a very experienced receiver and punt return

specialist.

Although both players’ teams have to travel different directions on Interstate35 to get to the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, the players themselves also have taken a much different route in college football to get to this point in the season.

Brown comes into his first Red River Rivalry game after catching his first touchdown as a Sooner on a 13yard pass from senior quarterback Landry Jones last week against Texas Tech.

The Delaware native also has been a big part of the Sooner special teams unit, leading the team with 18.4 yards per punt return , good enough for seventh-best in the nation.

“Justin’s an excellent player and very talented,” coach Bob Stoops said. “He has a lot of maturity and he’s making tough plays.”

Fera was named to the 2012 Lou Groza award watch list for the nation’s top placekicker but has played only one game this season after

missing the first four games of the season because of a groin injury.

But last week, after coaches agreed he was fit to kick, Fera missed a 41-yard attempt in the fourth quarter that would have tied the game. The Longhorns ended up losing to West Virginia, 48-45, in Austin.

Fera’s miss also caused Texas to drop to 4-of-9 on field goals with none of them longer than 40 yards. This

could be a factor in Saturday’s rivalry game if the Longhorns are forced to make a choice to go up against the Sooner defense rather than settle for field goals.

Add in UT senior running back D.J. Monroe, who ran a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the win over Oklahoma State earlier this season, and OU senior punter Tress Way, who is averaging 43.5 yards per punt, and special teams could be a

deciding factor in the result of Saturday’s game.

It may not be the scenario the two players wanted, but at the very least, this edition of this fabled series will give two former Penn State teammates a chance to play on the same field once again .

“It might be a little strange after the game, but I’m not worried about it,” Brown said. “We may not even be on the field at the same time.”

I’ve only been listening to him for about a week, but this is one show for which I plan to be at the front of the audience.

Florence + The Machine 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday Normally, I hate bands with female lead singers, but Florence Welch is the main exception. After first hearing “Dog Days are Over,” I’ve dreamt of seeing Florence live. I can’t wait to hear songs from “Between Two Lungs” and “Ceremonials,” but I mostly hope she will unveil some of her new works.

o say I’m looking forward to Austin City Limits this weekend is a bigger understatement than saying OU-Texas is kind of a big deal. The minute I found out I was going, I had my game plan pretty much mapped out for all three days of the amazing festival. Add on top of that the fact that my 21st birthday falls right in the middle of it, and my year basically has nowhere to go but down. Here’s to a weekend to remember, Austin.

The Black Keys 8:30 to 10 p.m. Friday I came late to The Black Keys game and basically don’t acknowledge the existence of any album other than “Brothers” (I know, let the berating begin), but this Akron, Ohio, duo always tops my list of favorite bands. I

probably listen to “Tighten Up” about 15 times a day.

Needless to say, I’ll be unable to show my concert videos to anyone, as I’ll be scream-singing at the top of my lungs.

Jack White 8 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday I fell hard and fast for Jack White at the tender age of 16, back when he was with Meg White and The White Stripes were churning out amazing a l b u m s l i k e n o b o d y ’s business. When I found out Jack White would be playing ACL ­— on my 21st birthday, no less — I literally screamed with joy. The best birthday present in the entire world will be me squeezing my way to the front of the stage and staring in awe as one of my favorite musicians of all time tears it up.

The War On Drugs 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Friday I stumbled across Philadelphia indie rock band The War On Drugs as a fan of Kurt Vile, but I’ve got to say I like Kurt’s former band even better than his solo stuff. The War On Drugs is a combo of My Bloody Valentine and Bob Dylan, with a hint of Sonic Youth thrown in — think

bluesy Americana meets edgy guitar riffs. I’m looking forward to a roller coaster of a set, chill one minute and wild the next.

The Shins 6 to 7 p.m. Saturday The Shins is one of those bands I grew up listening to — I can pin a specific moment in my life to a ton of the songs off the Albuquerque, N.M., band’s four studio albums. Seeing The Shins live is basically going to be a solid hour of amazing music and sweet reminiscing. It’s definitely one of those “pinch me” moments that I can’t believe is finally happeninjust call me a cheese ball.
