Students short on cash can still give back by donating blood during Campus Activities Council’s Homecoming Week.

Homecoming kicked off Monday with a blood drive from 1 to 4 p.m. in Cate Center.

How much is a study of breast cancer tumors and treatment worth? About $2 million.

Michael Ihnat, pharmacy professor at OU Heath Sciences C e n t e r, a n d h i s c o m p a n y DormaTarg, which has a partnership with the university, are recipients of a National Institutes of Health grant to study dormant breast cancer tumors.

“Dormant sounds like a good thing, but the problem with that is they reactivate,” Ihnat said.

“When they reactivate, unfortunately, they’re impossible to treat by normal means. ... They become resistant to conventional drugs used to treat cancers.”

Prior study of this type of tumor was challenging because there was no animal model researchers could use, Ihnat said.

In 2009, his lab developed an animal model and a possible drug targeting the tumors, and this grant will develop the model and study how the drug works.

Once the group finishes developing the model, other researchers will be able to use it to study dormant tumors as well, Ihnat said.

So far, researchers have an idea of a protein the drug targets to block processes that lead to cellular development, but they are not sure yet, Ihnat said.

About 230,000 new cases of breast cancer occur every year, and there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors, according to the American Cancer Society. Many appear to go into remission after treatment but later experience an aggressive reoccurrence.

“Hopefully, most will never have reoccurrence, but unfortunately, in some aggressive forms, almost 80 percent reoccur in other spots or the same spot,” Ihnat said. “Again, the problem is this: It’s a very different tumor than it was before, so it’s almost untreatable.”

Numbers vary on how many forms of breast cancer are the dormant, possibly reoccurring type, Ihnat said. Some say 10 percent, and others say 80 percent, but much of it depends on the life span of the person and length of remission.

Ihnat said he understands see CANCER paGe 2

Aviation student Allison Foster shows Bryan Seldon and his son, Jacob, one of OU’s planes during the fifth-annual Max Westheimer Airport Aviation Festival on Saturday. The event, held on an awaygame weekend, includes aircraft displays, control tower tours and displays from local law enforcement.

For French exchange student Victor Vimeney , American student-teacher relationships were a culture shock.

“It’s surprising how more friendly teachers are here — they smile, they make jokes, they actually listen to what you have to say and they don’t mind being asked questions,” said Vimeney, a logistics management student.

“When you give a good answer, they encourage you,

and when you give a wrong one, they encourage you,” Vimeney said.

Vimeney said he thinks teachers at OU generally are more available for their students than his teachers were in France. “[OU professors] give you their email, their phone number. ... They always say, ‘Don’t hesitate to contact me,’” he said. “In France, they would say, ‘Don’t contact me unless it’s really important.’” see INTERACTION paGe 2

Corrections The Oklahoma Daily has a commitment to serve readers with accurate coverage and analysis.

Readers should bring errors to The Daily’s attention by emailing dailynews@ou.edu.

The stark contrast may come from the more active distinction between professional life and private life, but the difference is that at OU, it’s OK to talk about non-classrelated topics, Vimeney said.

French foreign language student Sidonie Monier also noticed the difference.

“After a class, the teacher proposed a few of us to go and have a chat in his office.

It seemed a bit weird; I wasn’t expecting that from a teacher,” Monier said.

The interaction covered more than the class.

“There’s even a student who came in the office in tears, and we comforted her all together,” Monier said. “In the end, going to his office was a great way to know not only the teacher but other students from the same class.”

Many exchange students at OU like the American teaching style better, and one even had the opportunity to adopt these teaching methods.

Matthieu Desmaison, a former exchange student, decided to stay at OU to work as a French instructor.

“Last year, I watched how teachers were behaving with me, and that helped me know how I could behave with my students this year,” Desmaison said.

Aubrie Hill/The Daily

David Miller, aerospace and mechanical engineering professor, chats with one of his classes before beginning his lecture Monday.

Most of Desmaison’s students are close in age, so finding a balance between being a professor and a friend is tricky.

“I’m trying not to mix my friends and my students. I won’t add them on Facebook o r t a k e t h e i r n u m b e r,” Desmaison said.

Desmaison adapted his teaching style to match what he liked about American professors.

“I’m teaching more the American way. Even grade-

wise, let’s say, I’m nice,” he said.

Some professors maintain that style because of habit.

“I’m just old, and I’m doing things my way,” said David Miller, aerospace and mechanical engineering professor.

Miller said his habit of joking began long ago.

“When I started teaching, I was 26, and I was only a few years older than my students,” Miller said. “I got my hair down my shoulders, I

was extremely scruffy looking and I wore ripped jeans and T-shirts. So I guess I was much more informal than now.”

Whereas some teachers don’t take the liberty to be too casual, Miller said he doesn’t have that problem.

“A lot of teachers who are short, female or maybe from minorities tend to be more formal to get the respect they deserve,” Miller said. “But for me, I don’t think that people calling me ‘Dr. Miller’ or ‘David’ would change anything.”

Sociology professor Trina Hope said teachers develop a special connection with their students.

“My relationship with my students is like the one with my kids — warm and friendly but also strict and with high expectations,” Hope said. “I show that I care about them, but I’m a tough teacher. I make them work hard.”

For Hope, if the students can connect with the teacher, they can connect with the material. As a result, she said she doesn’t hesitate to crack jokes and laugh with students.

As a professor, Hope said she doesn’t forget the purpose of her class, but laughing and teaching is a method of interacting with students. “‘A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down’ — that’s what Mary Poppins said, right?” she asked.

Occupy cannot back elections

A

s the Occupy Wall OPINION COLUMNIST Street movement has evolved into a national phenomenon, it inevitably has begun to broaden in scope. And, as it has proven to be longlasting enough to be taken seriously, it has begun to Zachary Eldredge accrue criticism. zeldredge@ou.edu Criticisms range from the charge that the movement is unfocused or lacks official demands to simple name calling. I don’t have space to address all these, but I’d like to address another point, raised this week by The Economist: These protests are superfluous and that all this energy should go into electoral activity instead.

Allow me to paint a picture for you. Suppose it is 2012, and you want to vote for someone who you felt would limit corporate power the way Occupy Wall Street protesters are talking about. Let’s picture a fairly likely race,

Mitt Romney versus President Barack Obama. Note that Obama wants to raise $1 billion this election cycle, and Romney will no doubt aim for the same.

You then decide to check where that money came from.

The No. 1 donor to Romney as of now? Goldman Sachs, the company that made $4 billion by betting on a collapse in the subprime mortgage market. So you look at Obama’s donors — and find that Goldman Sachs is his No. 2 donor.

Those are only the donations that actually went to their campaign, by the way. According to the Citizens United Supreme Court case in 2009, corporations are free to engage in independent election spending, so their actual spending could be much higher.

That’s what Occupy Wall Street is mad about, and that’s why the protesters don’t just pick a political candidate and put their energy behind him or her. They see an abundance of money seeping into politics and as a result they no longer trust the established political process.

Somehow, I can’t say I blame them.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Realistic actresses a refreshing sight I recently started watching the AMC series “Mad Men,” a show set in the 1960s about ad men on M a d i s o n Av e n u e . T h e women in “Mad Men” are mesmerizing.

I forgot that full-figured, c u r v y w o m e n c ou l d b e so beautiful. The character Joan Harris, played by Christina Hendricks with her hourglass figure, is a size-12 bombshell.

The notion that the media has ingrained in women today is to do anything to stay skinny. We are bombarded with images of painfully thin women in magazines and on television.

What has this standard of impossible beauty done to us? It has led to the diet industry raking in $40 billion to $100 billion per year. The constant need to diet to look a certain way has caused an overwhelming amount of health concerns.

age — one-fourth consuming fewer than 62 percent of calories needed — yet they are ones experiencing the most growth.

The images of overly thin women set unattainable standards for most women.

Pictures of women in the media are airbrushed, but most readers don’t think about the airbrushing. They think, “Why am I not as thin as this woman?”

The research group Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders, Inc. said one out of every four college-aged women uses unhealthy methods for weight control.

Women fast, skip meals, exercise excessively, abuse laxatives and use self-induced vomiting to achieve or maintain the media’s ideal body type.

Since when did being underweight become sexy?

W h y a re s o m a n y g i r l s harming their bodies to be thinner? What happened to appreciating the curves of a woman?

“No one — not models, not regular people — should have to be skinny to be beautiful.”

There are too many messages in today’s society telling women they are not good enough how they already are.

Women learn at a young age to judge themselves based upon images in the media, and when they don’t live up to the beauty industry’s standards of perfection, women become depressed, have a loss of self-esteem and develop unhealthy eating habits.

The r isks involved in being underweight can be extreme. An underweight woman is more likely to catch a cold or have the flu because the body’s immune system is too weak.

Other effects include low muscle mass, hair loss, anemia, osteoporosis and pregnancy problems.

So why is the media pushing the overly thin body type on us when it is worse than being slightly overweight?

I recognize that there is an obesity epidemic in America, but there is also an epidemic of w omen seeking to be underweight.

Some women literally starve themselves to attain a body type that could kill them.

Why is this not as big an issue as obesity?

Women who have an average body size should not feel unhealthy or guilty that they are not a size 0. The media’s standards of beauty need to change. No one — not models, not regular people — should have to be skinny to be beautiful.

That is why I applaud “ Ma d Me n ” f o r ca st i ng characters such as Christina Hendricks and other fullfigured women who do not fit the media or the beauty industry’s standard.

A woman’s cur ves are beautiful.

New exhibit to lift Native art clichés M

OPINION COLUMNIST ore than any other state, Oklahoma is associated with Native American culture. In spite of this, for many Oklahomans, Native art has been reduced to a string of clichés Zac Smith — Navajo rugs, totem zacsmith@iww.org poles, idealized paintings of nature and so forth.

On Saturday, OU’s Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art will open its new, 27,480-square-foot Stuart Wing to the public. The Stuart Wing will house Native art installations of various genres, as well as collections of nonNative art pieces.

The variety of artworks to be unveiled at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art this weekend will work to further dispel narrow conceptions of Native Art. “You’ll see work that is typically identified as Native American because it has been reproduced and distributed in such a way that people identify it as such,” curator Mark White said. “There’s also a lot of work that one would not typically identify as Native American because of style and subject matter ...

You’ll see there is an incredible amount of diversity in what we call ‘Native American art.’”

For many Several artists of particuOklahomans, lar local significance will inNative art has clude Kiowa painters Stephen been reduced Mopope and Monroe Tsatoke, who studied and painted at to a string of OU during the school’s first clichés — Navajo few decades of existence.

Mopope and Tsatoke worked rugs, totem in a traditionally Native idiom. poles, idealized Work by Swedish-Cherokee painter America Meredith also paintings of nature and so will be featured. Meredith’s art combines traditional and forth. non-traditional iconography and aesthetics in ways that dramatically transgress the boundaries of what is conventionally considered Native American art.

“I tend to paint specific individuals and historical incidents because understanding of Native American cultures is thwarted by the proliferation of grotesque generalities,” Meredith wrote to introduce a series of paintings that juxtapose cartoon characters such as Bambi and Rocky the Flying Squirrel with Native figures and settings.

Alongside the work of Meredith will be that of Sioux artist Oscar Howe. Howe, who painted in a semiabstract style, sometimes was criticized for his failure to adhere to the norms of stereotypical Native art. In 1958, a painting of Howe’s was rejected for a Native American-themed art exhibition as “not Indian.”

“There is much more to Indian Art than pretty, stylized pictures,” American Indian Art Magazine quoted Howe as saying in response to the snub. “Are we to be held back forever with one phase of Indian painting, with no right for individualism, dictated to as the Indian always has been, put on reservations and treated like a child, and only the white man knows what is best for him?”

Martina mcbride “Eleven�

(Republic Nashville)

Rating: ÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤ

Martina McBride really likes the number “Eleven.�

Or at least that’s what all of the coincidences surrounding her latest album imply.

McBride’s 11th album, which appropriately made its debut on Oct. 11, features eleven tracks, most of which were penned by McBride herself. “Teenage Daughters,� the first single from the record, premiered in February and reached the 17th spot on the Billboard Country Songs chart.

With sassy lyrics and attitude, McBride confesses that although she loves her daughters, “honestly/ I think I need a drink�.

Another song worth a listen is “Summer of Love�, which tells of a sweet summertime romance and its inevitable end.

Her track “I’m Gonna Love You Through It� has been used to bring attention to the breast cancer awareness movement.

The song details the experiences of a woman with breast cancer and the vow of her husband to “love her through it.�

While McBride didn’t write this song, it’s easy to see why she chose it for her album, with its soulful guitar and inspiring lyrics.

The music video for the song features cancer survivors such as musician Sheryl Crow and news anchor Hoda Kotb.

McBride will be touring this new album in 2012 and will bring it to Tulsa’s BOK Center on Feb. 16.

Sydney Allen is a broadcast and electronic media sophomore.
