Even though most of us at ESCAPE are still trying to get through the daily grind as students, we think it’s nice to know campus will be ready for our return someday as alumni. Decorative boards on the South Oval, the homecoming parade and, of course, the football game are all things to look forward to when we return home.

But for now, we get to enjoy them anyway. To get the most of your homecoming experience, be sure to check out this issue full of the things that make the fall tradition great.

If you’re still caught up in midterms and don’t have time to take advantage of all the festivities, there are a few other fun alternatives in this issue for you to enjoy, too.

Above all, enjoy this week of OU spirit, and make sure to show some respect to the ones who came before us.

food drive: continued If going out to buy cans seems like too much work, Housing & Food Services is providing a convenient alternative. Throughout the food drive, they will have items for sale from $1 to $3 that can be added to an order. Students can use cash, meal points or Sooner Sense.

“We couldn’t do it without [Housing & Food Services],” Sullivan said. “I think they’re why we have raised so much in the past.”

From a student perspective, this option makes giving a lot more convenient.

“It’s great because a lot of students don’t have the transportation or time to run to Wal-mart and buy cans,” Sarah Campbell, human relations senior and SGA Vice President, said. “With our busy schedules, it makes it really easy to make a big impact.”

Many organizations and departments will be involved in the drive, including SGA. At the end of the drive, Campbell said SGA will hold a canned good sculpture contest among the participating organizations to celebrate a successful drive.

“It’s a way to showcase what they’ve collected as well as a way to show off the artistic abilities of the organizations,” Campbell said.

Campbell, who has participated in collecting goods in the past, said that the drive is a good time to consider the well being of others.

“As college students, we have a lot of resources and it’s good to think about the people who don’t have those resources,” Campbell said. “This is a great chance to give to back to those who are not as fortunate.”

Raid your parents’ (or your own) pantry for stray cans.

Have a virtual food drive. Ask your friends for cans on social media, collect what they will give you and donate what you receive.

Instead of buying a mooching upperclassman a meal at the Caf, use extra meals to buy goods from Housing & Food Services.

Go on a non-perishable goods shopping trip with friends and enjoy giving back together.

Have a competition with your roommates! Whoever collects the least amount of goods during the drive buys the others dinner or finally cleans the apartment/house.

ill Snyder was the orchestrator of one of the biggest turnarounds in college football history. Before the coach arrived in Manhattan, Kansas in 1989, the Wildcats had gone winless in 27 straight games.

Snyder resurrected the program, and his incredible feat has been dubbed the “Miracle in Manhattan.” The coach has won more than 60 percent of his games with the Wildcats, and the program has become a fixture in the bowl calendar.

Several coaches learned under Snyder’s tutelage, including Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops. The Sooner coach is always quick to credit Snyder for jumpstarting his career. See which coaches have stemmed from Snyder’s tree:

home field ADVANTAGE Late season home games could help Sooners

brady vardeman | @bradyvardeman

REST OF FALL 2014 FOOTBALL SEASON

T

he Sooners’ schedule often features four home games early in the season. While most fans enjoy several opportunities to trek to Norman in September and October, the team pays a stiff penalty by having fewer home games late in the season.

This year, Oklahoma caught a break.

Four of the team’s six home games will be played in the end of the season, the value of which cannot be understated. Despite an early loss at TCU, the schedule sets up well for OU to make a push for the conference crown.

Home dates against Kansas State, Baylor, Kansas and Oklahoma State make up four of the final six games.

Each of these teams gave the Sooners fits last season on the road. Yes, even Kansas. The Jayhawks led early in the game before OU realized it was playing football and took control. Kansas State and Oklahoma State took Oklahoma down to the wire.

Baylor took down Big Game Bob’s squad in a rowdy Thursday night match in Waco.

The team, coached by wizard Bill Snyder, coming to Norman Saturday was the second-most recent squad to down the Sooners at home.

That was during Kansas State’s chris michie/the daily

best season in school history. However, this is not the Wildcat team of 2012.

This year figures to be different for OU. With an 87-5 home record in the Stoops era, the magic of the Palace on the Prairie is known across the college football landscape.

Of course, there are penalties to pay for the lineup.

As of Saturday, it will have been over a month since the Sooners played a game on Owen Field. Stoops said in a press conference before the Texas game that he didn’t prefer that long of a break between home games.

However, I implore the coach to think of things differently.

If all four teams due to visit Oklahoma got the Sooners away from Norman, the schedule would be much more daunting.

Baylor looks unbeatable in its shiny, new stadium.

Oklahoma State would certainly be a tough test once again. It took three quarterbacks to win in Stillwater last year. Now, there are not even three quarterbacks on the Sooner roster ready to play.

Instead, Oklahoma only needs to travel to Iowa State and Texas Tech to close out 2014. While Ames, Iowa, can be daunting for opposing teams (just ask the Pokes), neither Tech nor Iowa State poses a serious threat to the Sooners.

It has been repeated over and over again by Soonerfaithful and media alike: This schedule sets up perfectly for a late-season run.

Despite an early stumble in Fort Worth, OU is still a major contender in not only the Big 12 but the College Football Playoff race as well.

The Sooners face the Wildcats Saturday, known for their mistake-free football

fter Kansas State’s six-point loss to then No.5 Auburn at home on a Thursday night in September, Wildcat coach Bill Snyder told reporters that his team beat itself.

He was right. An interception in the endzone and three missed field goals deprived Kansas State of an upset and national-recognition. Well, sort of.

Even though its schedule shows a loss for the Auburn game, teams around the Big 12 took notice of Snyder’s Wildcats.

After an off-season that seemed to only feature talk of Oklahoma and Baylor winning the conference, Kansas State looked like the third contender.

Since its battle with the Tigers, Kansas State has downed UTEP and Texas Tech to improve to 5-1. It enters battle against Oklahoma on Saturday with a quarterback who leads the team in both passing and rushing.

“I don’t see it as out of the norm,” Snyder s a i d . “ T h a t ’s what our quarterback does.”

That quarterback, senior Jake Waters, has more than a little help on the offensive side of the ball. Through five games, receivers Tyler

Lockett and Curry Sexton have hauled — “The Miracle in Manhattan.”

Before his arrival in 1989, Kansas in nearly 750 of Waters’ 1206 passing State had a cumulative record of 299yards.

Major: Spanish, health and exercise science Representing: Chi Omega A: I think that, I’m definitely grateful to be in this position.

And, I know that one of the things I’ve found that’s helpful during my college experience is being willing to be vulnerable and ask for advice and ask for help. So just being willing to seek out advice and seeking out those relationships with other people … and just kind of enjoying that relationship.

Major : public affairs and administration Representing: Campus Activities Council A: Be thankful for the opportunity we have to go to the University of Oklahoma. Show gratitude to those that helped you get here and seize every opportunity that OU has to offer.

Major: public relations Representing: Interfraternity Council A: Something I constantly have to remind myself is a quote from Walt Disney: “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I know it sounds cheesy — I mean, it’s Disney — but it’s true. Look at things in the news, like how high student debt is … seniors like me are going into that world, and they think, “There’s nothing we can do.” The quote, I think, says not to be a victim of circumstance: we have a spot in the world as Sooners, we just have to claim it.

Major: psychology Representing: Union Programming Board A: To rephrase the question ... I hope I represent an appreciation for tradition, deviation from the norm, and that ... whatever you want to do, just go out and do it.

Kylie Frisb y Major: public relations Representing: Alpha Gamma Delta A: I think just really be passionate about what you do and make sure you’re making a difference with what you do. I think not doing things for the résumé or campus climbing, all that stuff — it’s not about that. It’s really about being passionate about what you do and really making a difference in the lives of the people you’re around.

Major: psychology Representing: Crimson Club A: OU is very interesting in that it, from my experience, employs a lot of faculty and staff that really do care for students. Sometimes students might not take full advantage of that. I sense that, obviously it’s hard for them to reach out to the entire student base, but from my experience and from a few people I know, if you reach out to the faculty and staff here, they’re so warm, and they’re very nice. And they’ve made my experience at OU amazing and completely different than if I had just gone at it alone or even just with my friends or my peers.

Homecoming History Bringing alumni back year after year Daisy Creager

W

e celebrate homecoming every year. But what is it?

The short answer: It’s a way to bring alumni back to campus.

For the long answer, The Daily reached out to this year’s homecoming committee, which was tasked with coordinating the homecoming festivities.

Here’s what they had to say: “This is all for the alumni, hands down,” said Chloe this is all for the Tadlock, Campus Activities Council Homecoming chair- alumni, hands down.” person. “We can put on events for students all day every day, but this is their Chloe Tadlock, Campus opportunity to come home.”

Activities Director Because of the different contributions alumni make for OU, homecoming is a way to bring them back to campus to see how those contributions have shaped the university, said Johnson Truong, Campus Activities Council vice chairperson of finance.

“Alumni are our foundation,” said Truong, a human relations junior. “They fund everything from scholarships to buildings. They did go to this university, and they have this attachment that only alumni can have after they leave.”

While homecoming was started for alumni, that message has been lost over the years, Tadlock said.

“A lot of our students view it as a competition, but I think that this year we were able to shift the focus some so students realize a little more that it’s not about themselves,” Tadlock said.

As they planned events for homecoming week, Campus Activity Council members tried to schedule events that would bring the alumni and current students together, said Madison Perry, vice chairperson of programming for the council.

“For most participants, they don’t see as much of the alumni as we do because we’re planning events for

them,” said Perry, a business management junior. “I think getting alumni, current students and prospective students all in one place for a night, like at the pep rally, will really connect for younger students why we are celebrating.”

By bridging this gap between alumni, current students and prospective students, homecoming creates a strong sense of unity on campus that is not found with high school homecoming celebrations, Perry said.

“In high school, you don’t really have a choice where you go,” Perry said. “But here, we all chose to

come to OU. Everybody who participates in homecoming, alumni, prospective students, whatever — we all share that one thing. I think that makes a world of difference.”

Homecoming celebrations also reach out to prospective students who will have seats in the current student section of the pep rally on Friday, Perry said.

“If a prospective student is unsure and they come to homecoming and see this giant community, then they’ll think that they can belong here,” Perry said.

In the future, CAC hopes to incorporate the community in homecoming celebrations, Tadlock said.

how to survive: the book sale Use these tips to get the most of the Norman Public Library sale this weekend megan deaton | @meg_deaton

T

he Norman Public Library will host its annual Friends of the Norman Public Library Fall Book Sale this weekend. More than 50,000 gently used books sorted into more than 60 categories will be up for grabs when the sale opens to the public Saturday. Here are a few tips for book bargain hunters:

1. Become a member The book sale will open early to members of Friends of the Norman Public Library. Arrive at the library by 6 p.m. Friday to purchase a membership and get first dibs on the thousands of books for sale. It may cost you a little extra, but getting to shop before the general public just might be worth it.

5. bring cash Most library book sales prefer cash to credit, and some don’t have a credit option at all. Plus, bringing a set amount of cash will keep you from binging on too many paperbacks — a danger any book lover faces when surrounded by thousands of choices.

6. take a chance

2. arrive early If you don’t take advantage of the early bird membership opportunities, get to the sale early Saturday morning to optimize your experience. You might be surprised how feisty teachers buying books for their classrooms can be, so you’ll have to work hard to beat them to it.

If you’re not too set on looking for a particular book, try the Bag Day sale from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday. The library will provide bags for you to fill with as many books as you can, all for the low price of $5 per bag. You may not get the particular book you were looking for, but the minimal price tag could allow you to branch out and pick up something you normally might not.

3. prioritize Make sure you have a game plan. Books this cheap will go fast, so go to your favorite genre first and move on from there. Grab everything you think you might possibly want and sort it out later. You’ll have time to browse once you make sure you get that copy of your favorite book.

GO AND DO Friends of the Norman Public Library Fall Book Sale

4. Bring a tote (or lots of totes)

When: Members pre-sale from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, public sale from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, $5 Bag Sale from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday

Boxes can be clumsy and take up a ton of space. Instead, bundle up a few tote bags and use those to shop. Your arms may be tired by the end of the sale, but you can handle multiple bags on each arm and get your workout for the day, too.
