OU alumni donate $1 million Hudsons aid public health research with annual fellowship BRIANNA SIMS News Reporter @briannana18

Two distinguished OU alumni have donated $1 million to the College of Public Health to establish an endowment for two annual fellowships, OU President David Boren announced in a press conference Tuesday.

Leslie Hudson served on the advisory boards of the College of Public Health and the OU Breast Institute as well as a specialist in biostatistics and epidemiology in

the OU College of Public Health, according to a press release.

“We’re happy to give this gift and anxious to see the future,” she said.

Clifford Hudson, the president and CEO of Sonic Corp., received the OU Regents’ Alumni Award in 2001 and went on to receive an honorary doctoral degree in humane letters from OU, according to the press release.

Jennifer Green and Dana Mowls, two doctoral students at OU, have been selected as the first Hudson Fellows and will use the money to research public health concerns, Gary Raskob, dean and regents professor of the OU College of Public Health, said. Green, a firstyear Ph.D student, is focusing her research on teen and unplanned pregnancy.

Mowls, a third-year Ph.D. student, is focusing her research on the effects of tobacco on public health, and said she is deeply honored to represent her peers as a fellow.

Raskob said the fellowship is “a wonderful force” toward students’ pursuit of advanced doctoral degrees.

“There’s a financial burden that students face all the time, and this will be a major help to them, and at the same time support them and their pursuit of really rigorous research that will hopefully help improve the health of not only Oklahoma, but the nation,” Raskob said.

Green said money from the fellowship will allow her to not worry about debt as she pursues her

DAISY CREAGER News Editor @daisycreager

A couple of months into Ed Kelley’s appointment as interim dean of Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, the college has already experienced major changes.

Kelley, who served as the director of experiential learning for Gaylord from May 26 - July 15, has laid off several staff members and reappointed another position within a week of

being appointed dean.

Kelley said his work on the Gaylord Board of Visitors as well as the Gaylord Advisory Committee prior to that gave him insight into Gaylord and its needs.

“I came in knowing a lot of the members of the faculty as well as the staff and that gave me a lot of confidence coming back to OU,” Kelley said.

“It would have been a lot more difficult if I had been away for 40 years and came back not knowing anyone.”

OU’s newly appointed dean of the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy, Mike Stice, plans to help the college produce the best minds in the energy industry.

Mike Stice, who was named dean on July 30, said he’s happy to work long hours in his new position, “but it’s not any easier than being a CEO.”

Stice said the move onto the 15th floor of Sarkeys Energy Center has been a bit of a homecoming for him, and it is “the best office on campus.”

After Stice graduated from Norman High School in 1977, he earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from OU. From there, he said he went to Stanford and then excelled through the business world, finally landing last year as CEO of Access Midstream.

Lincoln Riley had a choice to make.

It was 2002 and he was trying to walk on to Mike Leach’s Texas Tech team. Riley was one of eight quarterbacks on the Red Raiders’ roster that summer, and Leach was only going to carry five.

“He could throw the ball a little bit and he was decently accurate but he threw side arm and I knew he wasn’t going to play for us,” Leach said.

But Leach saw something in Riley. He saw the young quarterback pick up his air raid offense in just two days. He saw that Riley had a good head on his shoulders with a lot of potential.

So he didn’t offer Riley a spot on the team — as a player, that is.

Leach offered a discouraged Riley a student assistant position. It was unpaid but offered him a better future than the one he would face as a walk-on. He took the job, eventually working his way up to graduate assistant and then inside receivers coach.

After Texas Tech fired Leach, Riley called plays for the Red Raiders on the way to a 41-31 Alamo Bowl victor y over Michigan State in 2010.

president of the Black Student Association over the summer.

Kadira said she has been involved with BSA for four years now, rising from secretary of the organization’s freshman action committee all the way to the highest office.

Kadira said she plans to have BSA work more closely with the National Panhellenic Conference and OU Unheard, of which she is also a member, to promote better unity among the black community.

She will be leading a rather green executive staff, as Kadira is one of the few returning staff members. BSA also has a new adviser, Lauren Whiteman, who took the job in June.

BSA does not plan to roll out any new events this school year, Kadira said. Instead, they will focus on strengthening their current lineup of activities.

Black students at OU garnered increased attention at OU in the

spring as Unheard advocated for a more inclusive campus environment. The disadvantages faced by black students at OU came under more scrutiny following the release of a video of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity members using racial slurs in a chant.

OU Libraries launch app NavApp intended to help students new and old alike ANNA MAYER News Reporter @AnnaMay136

the ability to tie digital and physical resources together makes NavApp appealing for the long term. This means the app will be able to detect where its users are and can send them location-based information they might find interesting.

“Let’s say you are in front of a printer and can’t figure out how it works, the app will link you instantly to a ton of useful tutorial ‘how-to’ information,” Cook said. “Or perhaps you are a user of a certain major, like English. Soon, we will be able to give specific information based on that user, so an author talk notification might appear on your smartphone when you walk by a room where they are scheduled to speak.”

NavApp’s home screen includes a faculty button, which holds guides to specific resources, such as a faculty recording studio. Additionally, the app was released simultaneously with the Galileo’s World exhibit opening, and it provides users with details and facts about the exhibit,

according to Dwyer. It also shows the campus buildings that house the exhibit in its GPS. The idea for this new app was first mentioned by Cook and his team back in early 2014. The premise was to make the library more accessible for new students and visitors.

“Basically our aim from the beginning was to put an end to the intimidation factor that new students might feel when visiting the library for the first time, while at the same time making our diverse services visible to visitors using an increasingly prevalent piece of pocket-sized hardware, the smartphone,” Cook said.

NavApp poses as an example of OU Libraries’ recent attempts to further its relationship with technology users. Cook’s position as the emerging technology librarian was established in recent years alongside the Peggy V. Helmerich Collaborative Learning Center in an effort to research and develop campus technology.

NavApp has been in development for about a year, said Richard Luce, dean of University Libraries, Peggy V. Helmerich chair and associate vice president for research.

Luce’s team is looking for ways to use the app for onsite, experiential learning on campus. “I’m intrigued with its potential to weld physical and virtual worlds together,” Luce said.

This use of technology won’t just be a first for OU, Luce said.

“We believe the deployment of this cutting edge technology for Galileo’s World across multiple venues at OU will be one of the first uses of this technology in libraries anywhere,” Luce said.

OU Libraries’ NavApp is now available for free in both the Apple and Android app stores.

Th i s s c h o o l ye a r, O U Libraries launched its first ever smartphone app designed to help people find everything they might need in an OU library.

Named for its navigational feature, NavApp was designed to be a pocket friend for anyone roaming an OU library — freshmen, upperclassmen, faculty and visitors.

“This app is incredible,” said Aubrey Dwyer, student assistant at the Helmerich Collaborative L earning Center and public relations junior. “It has many features, including a navigation system that will lead you anywhere you want to go in the library, Anna Mayer instructions for how to use anna.n.mayer@gmail.com library technology and new services like booking rooms in the library.”

In addition to the indoor maps designed to help the lost and confused in any OU library, the app has an outdoor GPS that can guide users between the libraries and a few other buildings on campus, such as the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

The credit for creating NavApp belongs to Matthew C o o k , O U ’s E m e r g i n g Technology Librarian.

While the target audience for the app is primarily new OU students, NavApp contains other features that were meant to attract various groups of people, Cook said.

DANIEL HOANG/THE DAILY Other than its “indoor GPS” OU Libraries launches NavApp on iPhone and Android this school year. NavApp serves as a centralized system, he said he believes source of information to help students, faculty and staff better utilize OU Libraries’ resources.

RILEY’S

SPENSER DAVIS FOOTBALL BEAT REPORTER @DAVIS_SPENSER

F

ast forward to 2015 and Riley is quickly climbing the coaching ladder. Bob Stoops announced in January that he was hiring him to bring the air raid offense back to Norman after the 31-year-old spent the last five years coordinating conference record-setting offenses at East Carolina.

The stor y of how Riley ended up at Oklahoma starts with Leach and a town much smaller than Lubbock, Texas.

The beginning When Leach first arrived in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in 1989, he didn’t have much. His residence, for the time being, was a motorhome — a neglected one at that.

As he approached it for the first time and opened the door, he hesitated as he looked into a dark room.

“Don’t walk in there,” Leach thought.

He described it as a “hell hole,” lamenting the bright red-shag carpet that lined the floors and walls and the mold that coated the room.

When Leach finally found the light switch, he immediately discovered something at eye level—a furiously rotating ceiling fan. A dangerous nuisance at first, he soon discovered he would need it to survive.

“On one hand, you didn’t want the fan on because it would decapitate you if you weren’t careful,” Leach reasoned. “But it was also hot as shit in there, so you better remember that sucker is on during the night if you get up out of bed.”

That was life for Leach in 1989. At least, that was his life when he was home.

At work, his main task was to be Iowa Wesleyan’s offensive coordinator. But he also coached the offensive line, handled media relations, served as the film coordinator, worked as the equipment manager, taught a pair of classes and was a student as a way to offset the student loans he racked up in law school.

“Oh, it was wild,” Leach said. “It was tough because I was the support staff. My student assistant and I were setting up the locker room hours before the game, then we’d play the game and we’d be packing up for hours afterwards.”

Building an offense Leach owed his position as a jack-of-all trades at Iowa Wesleyan to a man named Hal Mumme.

Mumme, Leach’s co-conspirator in designing the air raid, was inspired by what Brigham Young was doing offensively in the 1970s and ‘80s, letting Steve Young and Jim McMahon throw the ball all over the field and relying on spacing to get players open.

He applied the free-slinging offense at the high school level first, helping take Copperas Cove High School in Texas from doormat to dominator.

When Mumme made the leap to college as head coach at Iowa Wesleyan, he brought on Leach. Leach had insight into the offense Mumme wanted to install from his days as an

undergraduate student at BYU. “I was looking for a guy that was going to look at me like I was crazy,” Mumme explained. “Mike was all about it.”

The 1989 and 1990 seasons were two of the best in Iowa Wesleyan’s history. Leach and Mumme’s innovative offense drummed up 405 and 406 points, respectively, in those campaigns after mustering just 66 points in 1988.

But prior to the 1991 season, Mumme wanted more.

That spring, Leach and Mumme took a 10day trip to Florida, mostly to recruit, but also for something that seemed to be elusive — an offensive edge.

At the time, Canadian Football League legend Don Matthews was the coach of the Orlando Thunder — a World League of American Football franchise that dissolved after the 1992 season.

Leach and Mumme were on a mission to find another wrinkle to add to the offense.

After sitting in on the Thunder’s practice, they found it.

It was a drill that Matthews had dubbed “bandit.” In simple terms, it was a two-minute offense that required precision and speed.

Mumme saw something beyond an offense to run at the end of a half in search of points.

His vision was greater.

“After I watched it, I turned to Mike and I said, ‘This is our edge,’” Mumme recalled.

“We’re just going to do this all the time.”

“Everyone loved Bill Walsh’s two-minute offense, he won Super Bowls with it. Let’s just do that all the time,” Mumme said.

What Mumme saw then is known today as the hurry-up, no huddle offense.

Catching on Throughout the ‘90s, the rest of the football world took note of what Leach and Mumme were doing. After the 1991 season, the duo was hired to coach at Valdosta State where they stayed for the next five seasons.

In 1997 Kentucky came calling. The athletic director at the time, C.M. Newton, liked what he saw from the air raid offense at Valdosta State. He hired Leach and Mumme because he saw similarities between what the offense could do and the style that UK basketball liked to play: fast and up-tempo.

For the most part, it worked. The Wildcats defeated Alabama for the first time in 75 years in 1997, and it’s still Kentucky’s most recent victory over the Tide. What was eventually more important was UK’s success over Florida.

In the three years prior to the Leach era in Lexington, the Wildcats scored a combined 14 points against the Gators. With Leach calling the shots, Florida was pressured to the tune of 28 and 35 points in 1997 and 1998, which caught the attention of the Gators’ defensive coordinator at the time, Bob Stoops.

When Stoops was hired to be the head coach at Oklahoma in 1999, he asked Leach to join the staff as offensive coordinator. He wanted him to run the offense that Stoops himself

couldn’t figure out how to stop.

Then in 2000, after Leach left Norman to be the head coach at Texas Tech, Oklahoma won a national championship. It wasn’t without Leach’s influence, however.

“When I was at Oklahoma I had all of our plays drawn up on the chalk board in my office,” Leach said. “When I left the deal was that I wouldn’t erase that board, so I didn’t. “ I wa s s i tt i ng t h e re wat c h i ng t h e m play Florida State [in the 2000 National Championship Game] and I could call their plays based on alignment,” Leach said.

So now, some 15 years later, Bob Stoops has gone back to his roots. After a troubling 8-5 campaign in 2014, one in which the Sooners looked like a team with no offensive identity, Stoops has asked one of the most recent additions to Leach’s coaching tree to come run the offense that troubled him then and troubles him — along with the rest of the country — now.

That will be a challenge for the young Riley, but age has never held him back before.

“I got a lot of criticism for bringing on a guy that young,” Leach recalled. “A lot of people were quick to point out his lack of experience when I hired him on full time.

“I hired him anyways and I never regretted it,” he said.

Someday Stoops could say the same.

How the air raid got its name Mike Leach had many roles during his time at Iowa Wesleyan. In addition to being a coach and offensive coordinator, he served as the recruiting coordinator and equipment manager. He was also the team’s sports information director, which drove him to get his team attention in any way that he could.

“I remember (Leach) was always trying to get us noticed,” Dustin Dewald, former Iowa Wesleyan quarterback said. “He was sending out stuff to Sports

3

Illustrated and USA Today and trying to get us in these magazines that of course (Iowa Wesleyan) had never been in before.”

Dewald said that as a result of that attention, he began to receive letters from a child who shared his last name. The boy was also a quarterback and looked up to Dewald, who spent most of the 1991 season setting school and NAIA records.

“After a couple times, Mike was determined to get me and this kid on ‘The

David Letterman Show,’” Dewald said.

Part of getting the word out about what Iowa Wesleyan was doing meant having a name for the offense. Leach wanted something that people would recognize.

O n e n i g h t i n Mo u n t Pleasant, Leach was sitting in his apartment with a group of people when one of the men mentioned that he had an old air raid siren.

The siren eventually made its way into every home game and was sounded

after each touchdown.

The name stuck and was a perfect fit for the passing attack that Leach and Hal Mumme deployed.

“It was louder than hell,” Leach said. “The neighbors complained about having their Saturdays interrupted, so I guess we were scoring a lot of points. Eventually they made us stop.”

“They wore that sucker out at Valdosta, though,” he said.

Summer interns share lessons I

nformation about OU studentsʼ 2015 summer internships was collected by The Daily. An online poll was created asking students where they interned and the most important thing they learned from the experience. A Google Map was created, pinpointing where students interned this summer. Here are some of the best answers we recieved.

Andrew Willoughby

Rachel Campbell

Professional Writing senior The Reading Room New York, New York “I learned that itʼs vital to step out of your comfort zone to do what you love.”

Plant Biology and Biochemistry sophomore University of Oklahoma Kessler Lab Norman, OK “I learned how to fail, and how to manage responsibility while still trying to have a good summer.”

Bijan Hosseini

International Studies/Broadcast Journalism senior La Casa Learning Center Hebron, Palestine “After studying the Arab-Israeli conflict for four years, living in the old city of Hebron really brought the conflict to life.
