Freshman sets records after Olympics rejection

aggie Nichols and her teammates walked onto the stage, looking out into the darkness that masked the crowd. Shades of pink on the screen flashed behind them and speakers blared, announcing the 2015 World Championships.

Nichols was ner vous — her teammates were jittery, anxious. As they headed toward the floor, lights fired up — Nichols was in her element.

After nine days of comp e t i t i o n s , t h e 2 0 1 5 Wo r l d Championships were over and Nichols left Glasgow, Scotland, with a team gold medal and a bronze on floor — she could see the path toward the Olympics.

Nichols proved she could compete on the highest stage.

She attacked it without fear, a prerequisite for a sport filled with threats of height, speed and embarrassment.

“You’re flipping on four inches and when you nail a routine or nail a skill that you’ve been working a lot for, it’s just a great feeling,” Nichols said about balance beam. “I think it’s kind of like a daredevil feeling when you’re flipping on a four inch piece of wood.”

But it was one step closer, two steps back — Nichols suffered a right meniscus tear during

training for the 2016 Pacific Rim Championships on her Amanar vault in April.

“She had proven herself, and up until that day and the year before, every national team assignment she’s had, she’s been one of the ones that has always proven themselves.”

SIMONE BILES, OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST “It was heartbreaking,” said Simone Biles, five-time Olympic medalist who competed at the meet and was once Nichols’ roommate. “It was 2016, you don’t really want any injuries before Olympic trials. ... She was really positive about it. She was like, ‘It’s better now than later on in the year, so I can fulfill the rest of my dreams.’”

PAXSON HAWS/THE DAILY

Freshman Maggie Nichols smiles at her teammates before the Perfect 10 Challenge Feb. 10. in Oklahoma City. Nichols retired from elite gymnastics three days after the Olympic trials.

Forced to withdraw, Nichols used rehab as a time to learn how to better take care of her body.

“I think that I did become stronger through those periods of time when I couldn’t train fully in doing gymnastics, but I could train fully with therapy and other conditioning and eating right,” Nichols said. “I think that took me a step further when I came back and was healthy to do everything again.”

After less than three months of recover y, Nichols competed in the June 2016 P&G Championships on bars and beam, taking 13th and 10th place respectively. “(Her recovery was) one of the fastest I’ve ever seen, it was pretty remarkable,” Biles said.

“Everyone was so surprised. ...

But to see someone come back so fast and routine so flawlessly and perfect, we were all like, ‘Oh my God, she’s crazy.’”

The Olympic trials began 11 days later. Nichols and 13 other gymnasts competed for two days for five spots to represent their country at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. At the end of it, she was in sixth place.

“She had proven herself, and up until that day and the year before, every national team assignment she’s had, she’s been one of the ones that has always proven themselves,” Biles said.

The young women were brought into a room, holding hands and awaiting the news.

“You could feel all the tension building up,” Biles said. “All the coaches are in there, all the athletes were with each other, and you’re just staring at the floor because they have so many minutes to decide.”

National Team Coordinator Martha Karolyi walked into the room, said it was one of the toughest decisions she had to make, according to Biles, and she announced the team, but Nichols did not make the cut.

“I was pretty disappointed not

making that team and a little bit confused just because I got sixth and didn’t even make an alternate spot,” Nichols said.

Three days after the announcement, Nichols retired from elite gymnastics.

“I talked to my coach and talked to my parents, and we thought it was the right thing for me to do, to move on to college gymnastics,” Nichols said.

So she did.

“I think she has poured herself into a new goal, a new objective, a group of young women where she feels like she’s a part and a member,” OU coach K.J. Kindler said.

L earning ever ything from time management to working on improvement rather than getting upset, Nichols made headway and inserted herself into a starting slot. Showing off a perfect 10 routine on bars at the intrasquad while no other Sooner topped a 9.875, Nichols was pleased but knew there was more work to be done. “(I’ll be working on) making sure I stick all my landings, no little wobbles or little flex toes or anything,” Nichols said after the intrasquad competition. “Just perfecting everything and getting stronger and getting everything super consistent.”

Once the season began, Nichols earned her place in the lineup as an all-arounder for Oklahoma. Although the Sooners scored a 198.025 — then the highest in the nation for a meet — Nichols still wasn’t done improving her routines.

At the first away meet against West Virginia on Jan. 21, Nichols scored her first regular-season perfect 10 with her Yurchenko 1½ vault, contributing to an program-best record from freshmen in the all-around with 39.875. Two weeks later, she had another perfect 10 on beam.

Seven days after that, she scored her third 10 on floor w ith Biles in attendance in Oklahoma City.

MAGGIE NICHOLS’ RECORDS • Program record in all-around with 39.875 against West Virginia • First freshman in OU history to achieve perfect 10 in three events • Second-most 10’s in program history • Has highest mark by a freshman in her first meet with 39.725 Source: www.soonersports.com

“Before I went, I said, ‘Give me some of your power,’ and (Biles) did,” Nichols said after the meet. “I kind of just changed my mindset a little bit, and I really wanted to go out there and have a lot of fun.”

Seven days after impressing Biles, Nichols added added another perfect 10 — again on beam. Although Nichols has four perfect 10’s in her freshman season, she’s not without a blemish: Her season-high on uneven bars is 9.975.

“I personally think Maggie is learning right now,” Kindler said before the most recent meet where Maggie scored her fourth perfect 10. “Yes, she’s gotten three per fect 10’s, but the y weren’t all in the same night.

She’s totally capable of doing that. ... When she has that thing going on from top to bottom, event after event after event, watch out.”

OU reaches Ugandan women College builds selfsustaining school in African country HANNAH PIKE @h_pike_

The Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education is working with a Catholic nun from Uganda to develop an adult basic education school and its curriculum for women in Gulu, Uganda.

The school launched in June 2016 as an extension of Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe’s St. Monica’s Vocational School for Girls. Its goal is to teach English, mathematics and basic skills to women whose educations were disrupted by the Lord’s Resistance Army, a militia that began attacking villages and taking children captive in the 1990s. Many of the women were abducted as children and used as child soldiers and sex slaves.

Sally Beach, education professor, has spearheaded the team from OU that is creating additional curriculum for the women and working with their current teachers to implement culturally appropriate active teaching and learning strategies.

“It’s really moving what we are doing to the next level,” Nyirumbe said. “It’s giving our people the confidence — not only the students but also the teachers.”

Nyirumbe visited OU Feb. 9 and spoke about the importance of and need for improved education in Uganda.

Northern Uganda was in a state of conflict for more than 20 years with the Lord’s Resistance Army active in rebellion. When the rebellion

moved from Uganda to its neighboring countries around 2006, the men who had been soldiers in the Lord’s Resistance Army were resettled and offered compensation, while the women were offered nothing, Beach said.

The experiences of these women make them different than the typical student, Beach added. Because of this, Beach and her team of graduate students have visited St. Monica’s multiple times to better understand the students they are creating the curriculum for, as well as to support the teachers at St. Monica’s, Beach said.

Kate Raymond, doctoral student, said many of the women have the knowledge, but they do not have the vocabulary to express that knowledge.

“So for example, when we first went and we were assessing women, we asked them, ‘Do you know how to add?’

And they would say, ‘No.’ Because they didn’t know that vocabulary word of ‘addition.’

But if you said, ‘Let me show you what I mean by adding,’ and gave them an example, then: ‘Yeah, I can do that,” Raymond said.

In addition to creating curriculum for the students, Beach’s team is creating a teacher resource guidebook to aid the teachers at St. Monica’s, all of whom have full-time jobs outside of teaching, Beach said.

“If you look at the teachers we have, I don’t say that they are not good teachers, but they are teachers who have been a product of the conflict which lasted for the last 20 years and, of course, that conflict disrupted the quality of education,” Nyirumbe said.

The teachers have to

Sexual assault occurs near OU over the weekend, investigation ongoing The OU Police Department has reported that a sexual assault occurred Saturday near the intersection of Berry Road and Robinson Street.

The report says a woman was walking alone westbound on the north side of Robinson Street when someone grabbed her from behind, forced her near some trees and assaulted her.

The male suspect was not able to be identified, but was approximately 5 foot 5 inches tall, had an average build, had dark hair and wore a light-colored long sleeve shirt and light-colored pants, the report says.

OUPD’s investigation into the incident is ongoing.

manage teaching classes of around 40 students, often with students at different learning levels, Beach said.

“Our job is to do ourselves out of a job,” Beach said. “We want it to be self-sustaining, and so we’re providing the help and expertise with the idea that the teachers on the ground there that we’re working with now will become the leaders as the schools expand.”

Many of these women’s children are not accepted in their communities, because children belong to the tribe of their fathers in Uganda, and many of them do not know who their fathers are, Beach said.

Because of this, the women have no right to land or to return to their villages, and they are “ostracized, feared (and) blamed,” she said.

Raymond said that when she was teaching at St.

Monica’s, something one woman said to her showed her why this work is so important. The woman told Raymond that she always thought to herself when she was unable to help her children with homework, “It’s OK. They’re really smart. God must have a plan for them.”

Then she heard about St. Monica’s and thought, “Maybe God has a plan for me, as well.”

“It gives these women a sense of identity and purpose that people not only accept them as family, as they do in St. Monica’s, but are willing to work with them so they can be self-supporting members of the community in ways they’ve never been able to be before,” Raymond said.

OU junior earns scholarship to help improve lives of LGBT community The OU LGBT Alumni Society awarded its second annual scholarship to English literature junior Victoria Bergman.

The $5,000 award is given in two parts — one part for living expenses and one part to be used toward an LGBT-focused internship for credit, said LGBT Alumni Society treasurer and OU press secretary Matt Epting.

The LGBT Alumni Society, founded in 2014, has been raising funds to support the scholarship and completed its $50,000 endowment in late 2015, according to a press release.

“Victoria stood out as a student. And her dedication to the LGBT community really shows,” Epting said.

The scholarship will allow Bergman to pursue her dreams of improving the lives of those in the LGBT community, she said.

“There are so many students here at OU who come from towns where they’ve never seen any sort of public support for the queer community. ... I just feel like this is my first step on the path towards being one of those people who can make the world a little bit of a better, more hopeful place for the LGBTQ community,” Bergman said.

Bergman said she hopes to use the scholarship to pursue an internship focused on LGBT advocacy.

For pre-nursing freshman Rand Salous, God is everything. The Quran asks that she be modest, and so, like millions of Muslim women, she wears a hijab.

The covering brings her peace, she said, but often others see her and feel pity.

“I feel like some people may feel sorry for me. ‘Oh, that poor girl, she probably has to do all these things. She’s probably forced,’” Salous said. “I’m not. It’s my choice. Everything I do is for me.”

In the West, the liberated individual does not cover up or hide, she said, but Salous is not hiding at all. Her modesty makes her stick out from the crowd.

“I think modesty is very empowering,” Salous said. “Every woman’s different. Every woman chooses how they want to express themselves in different ways, and I think everybody should be able to do that.”

eight “degrees,” from 40 to 48. Meanwhile, support of President Donald Trump’s attempted temporary travel ban shows a significant portion of Americans may still feel apprehensive toward Muslimmajority countries.

Biology pre-med junior Amanah Fatima does not need polling to tell her that this apprehension exists. Fatima was raised Muslim but never considered herself particularly religious until she came to college. It was through religious studies courses and firsthand analyses of holy texts that she really began to come into her faith, finding God through academia.

She does not wear a hijab herself, but as a Muslim woman, she echoes Salous regarding the clothing article most symbolic of the perceived female oppression within the religion.

“I don’t wear a hijab because that’s my personal choice. I have friends that do, and that’s also their choice,” Fatima said. “It doesn’t make me less of a Muslim because I don’t wear one, and it doesn’t make them any less Muslim because they do.”

Although never specifically mentioned in the Quran, the hijab has become synonymous with virtue and modesty in Islam, valued traits in all Abrahamic religions.

Fatima said she is unsure which developed first — her Muslim identity or her American one. Both are

The OU Undergraduate Student Congress moved into a formal debate over a resolution aimed at supporting international and immigrant students at its meeting Tuesday night.

The resolution went through a period of questioning for close to 20 minutes before Congress formally moved into a time of debate, which requires Congress members to put their names on a list to argue for two minutes each for or against the bill.

Four people argued against the resolution, which was intended to show solidarity with students affected by President Donald Trump’s temporary travel restrictions and to thank Jabar Shumate, vice president of university community, for a statement he put out after the order was issued to reassure students of their safety and value.

One argument against the resolution was for its use of

the word “ban” to describe Trump’s executive order temporarily restricting travel from seven Muslim-majority countries. Opponents also wanted to strike various clauses in the resolution. Another argument was that the resolution supported the unlawful entry of immigrants into the United States.

Those in favor of the resolution argued that it showed support of university policies to keep international and immigrant students safe t hat w e re already in place, and that showing support in a time where stud e nt s a re feeling unsure of their CARLOS futures is RUBIO important.

Ca r l o s Ru b i o, c o - au thor of the resolution and an Undergraduate Student Congress representative, emphasized this point: “As an immigrant on this campus, as an immigrant under (DACA), I feel so good knowing that the university is on my side, and I feel so good knowing that Jabar Shumate

deeply important to her, and though she has little trouble unifying the two, she said the rest of society often does.

“I really feel as though there’s this idea that exists today that America and Islam are opposites, and that’s not true,” she said.

Biases about modesty and stereotypes regarding religiously justified abuses toward women are largely to blame for negative views of Islam in the West, she said.

People have trouble seeing the line between Islam and the culture of a given country where it is practiced, she said

— trouble seeing where one begins and the other ends.

There is a difference between Islam in America and Islam in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, biology freshman Nabiha Ahmad said. The problem is people have a clearer picture of how the religion is abused overseas than how it is practiced in their own backyards.

“A lot of Muslim countries are very patriarchal and have men in power that abuse it.

They do that by making sure women don’t really get a say and then claim it’s under Islam when they can’t really

back themselves up,” Ahmad said. “People see that and think, ‘This is Islam,’ when it’s not. It’s just power and greed.”

Ahmad was rais e d in Edmond, Oklahoma, the daughter of Pakistani immigrants, both devout Muslims.

In the summer following eighth grade, Ahmad made a pilgrimage to Mecca. There she felt spiritually enlightened and chose to begin wearing a hijab in high school.

Though her peers distanced themselves, her close friends stuck by, growing closer still.

Assumptions would vary, she said, fielded from non-Muslims and Muslims alike.

Eventually she decided to quit wearing the hijab for her own reasons. She was not particularly bothered by the new treatment she was receiving, though she never felt she was the person people expected her to be.

“I don’t exactly pray five times a day or any of that type of stuff. Some people wouldn’t consider me very religious, but I think I am,” Ahmad said.

She has faith, and she follows it. Like many Americans, her religious adherence is not always consistent. There’s nothing wrong with that, she said.

“Islam is very simple.

People make it out to be very harsh and demanding and cruel, and I just don’t think that’s what it is,” Ahmad said.

“I urge you to follow through with this legislation because it not only makes me feel safe, but it makes all students feel safe.”

The resolution passed with a vote of 27-1-2, with one vote against and two representatives abstaining.

Ali Klima, main author of the bill and chair of the Congress’s Human Diversity Committee, said she was pleased with the passing of the resolution.

“I thought it was important to address this right now given our current political climate, given Trump’s uncertainty of how to proceed with the DACA program, given the fact that several students have come forward to us addressing their fears and concerns with deportation, I feel like this is really important to announce right now,” said Klima, political science and constitutional studies senior.

Despite the recent increase in tuition, the out-ofpocket cost for students receiving a degree from OU has decreased in the last two years.

The cost to obtain a degree from OU has lowered by an average of $7,200 since 2015, according to an OU News press release. With state education budget cuts, OU has been forced to raise the cost of tuition, according to the release.

However, the university decreased out-of-pocket costs for students through privately funded scholarships, university wide cuts and maintaining the flatrate tuition policy, among other things, according to the release.

“Maintaining access and affordability has been our top priority. I am extremely excited by this report.

It demonstrates that our comprehensive efforts to maintain access and affordability are really paying off for students and families,” OU President David Boren said in the release.

In 2016, private funding sources raised more than $17 million in scholarships for OU, according to the release. Additionally, cuts made throughout the university have contributed to the increase in the amount of scholarships available to students, according to the release.

Another factor that has contributed to the cut in the out-of-pocket cost has been an increase in students completing Advancement Placement and concurrent enrollment classes in high school, according to the release.

In hopes of keeping out-of-pocket costs low with the rise of budget cuts, the OU Office of Business Analytics plans to study tuition, fees, scholarships and other financial aid support for incoming students every year. OU also plans to require a meeting with a “money coach” next fall at each student’s time of enrollment, according to the release.

Instead, Second Wind works on a nonprofit honor system in which donations are suggested but not required. The shop works in conjunction with the First Presbyterian Church in Norman and benefits church initiatives such as mission trips and a food bank.

DEVIN HIETT @DevinHiett

For dramaturgy and stage management sophomore Maria Doutey, thrift shopping doesn’t simply bring back memories of the hit Macklemore song that rose to national acclaim five years ago. For Doutey, thrifting is a regular hobby — something she considers part of her identity and even a way of life.

Doutey began thrift shopping her freshman year of high school and now buys about 80 percent of her clothes at local thrift stores. “It’s a thing you can do with your friends. It’s kinda like asking someone to go to coffee,� Doutey said.

The key to thrifting successfully is to spend a significant amount of time in the store, about 30 to 45 minutes, taking the time to look through every article of clothing until you find something interesting, Doutey said.

When it comes to finding the best stuff, the day of the week is also important. “You can always ask the people that work there when they get new shipments or put out new things,� Doutey said. “There’s a place in Tulsa that I always go on Tuesdays because that’s whenever they have the new stuff. You wanna go whenever they’re updating everything, that’s my secret.�

Nathan Hatfield, scenic design sophomore, is one of Doutey’s good friends and

Buddy Hield key in Kings deal Former Sooner star has bright future after Pelicans trade DEREK PETERSON @DrPetey15

BUDDY HIELD’S STATISTICS In the NBA this season, Buddy Hield has played 57 games.

New Orleans).

In Sacramento, Hield also has the opportunity to reunite with Isaiah Cousins, his former teammate at Oklahoma.

Cousins was drafted by the Kings in the second round of this year’s draft but has yet to play for the Kings. He currently plays f o r t h e Re n o Big h o r n s, Sacramento’s D-League affiliate, but with the Kings turning over their roster in an attempt to retain their pick and rebuild, Cousins could be the beneficiary of a call up.

In his senior year, playing alongside Hield and c u r re n t S o o n e r Jo rd a n Woodard, Cousins averaged 12 points and 4.5 assists per game while also shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc.

Cousins’ future isn’t yet determinable, but Hield’s is a little clearer. After the All-Star break, struggling teams tend to mail it in and give their young guys run.

Young players put up big numbers on bad teams.

We saw it last season with the Suns and then-rookie Devin Booker, who averaged 10 points in 23 minutes before the break and then exploded down the stretch, averaging 19 points in 35 minutes after All-Star Weekend.

As long as the Kings’ misfortunes don’t catch up with him, Hield now has the chance to do the same and become that scoring guard Ranadive has been searching for since 2013.
