Home games bring DUIs, PIs Alcohol related offenses doubled compared to away game days in 2013 PARIS BURRIS

Crime Beat Reporter @ParisBurris

Drunk driving and public intoxication around campus almost doubled during OU home football game day weekends compared to away game day weekends during the 2013 football season, according to OUPD reports.

Last year during home game days, 43 reports of DUIs and 22 reports of public intoxication occurred during game day weekends with one report of open container and

one report of a minor in possession of alcohol, according to OUPD reports.

Most of the crimes occurred in or around Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and just north of the North Oval on Boyd Street about half a mile away.

To compare the reports, The Daily requested OUPD reports for every game day and the day after during the 2013 season beginning Aug. 31, 2013 with the University of Louisiana-Monroe game and ending Jan. 3, 2014 the day after the Sugar Bowl game against the University of Alabama.

From there, The Daily found the average number of reports per day and compared the percent change from each average.

The festivities will be a good chance for students to learn about Chinese culture, said Paul Bell, chairperson of the board of directors for OU’s Confucius institute.

The Confucius Institute works under a Chinese agency called Hanban — roughly translated as “Chinese Language International” — whose goal is to promote and fund Chinese language education throughout the world.

OU had the first Confucius Institute in the Southern half of the United States, Bell said. Since its start in 2006, OU’s Confucius Institute’s primary focus has been Chinese language education for kindergarten through 12th grade.

The Confucius Institute also works to help students study abroad in China.

OU intern receives prestigious medical research award Recipient plans to use money to analyze an unresponsive form of blood cancer CAITLIN SCHACHTER News Reporter

An OU intern medical assistant is one of 10 people in the world this year to receive a prestigious award to conduct medical research.

Dr. Hossein Maynami, chief intern medical assistant of the College of Medicine, is one of 10 recipients selected for the American Hematology’s Society’s HONORS Award, according to a press release from OU’s Health Sciences Center.

When asked how it felt to receive the award, Maymani said he viewed the award as an investment in the OU Health Sciences Center to help train other physicians and physician scientists.

“It’s a testament to all of the support and mentorship on campus,” Maymani said.

M. Dewayne Andrews, OU Health Sciences Center senior vice president and provost executive dean of the OU College of Medicine, views Mayamani’s award in a similar light.

“This award from the American Society of Hematology is a tribute to the dedication of Dr. Maymani and to the quality of his research projects here at the OU Health Sciences Center,” Andrews said.

CRIME

Assault, trashcan throwing in reports Home game day weekend campus crime reports include various minor incidents CHRIS JAMES

Special Projects Reporter @CLJamesAperture

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Daily received police reports from last weekend on Thursday. Anyone seeking archived logs of police report records must submit a written request to the OU Open Records office. The office fills these requests as they would a normal request, meaning the requests can take several days to fill.

Assault and battery and a student throwing a trashcan led OUPD’s crime reports from the Sept. 12-14 weekend, which included the OU-Tennessee football game.

OUPD and other law enforcement agencies provided security for OU’s Sept. 13 game against Tennessee.

Approximately 85,266 fans attended the game without any major incidents, according to Officer Ralph Sade Jr.’s report.

However, OUPD responded to minor incidents throughout the game: • Ashley Nicole Coe, 30, was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication during the OU-Tennessee game on Sept. 13 at the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, according to officer Justin Hewett’s report. • OUPD arrested Jeremy Ray Shadrick, 38, for allegedly possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia during the OU-Tennessee game on Sept. 13 at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, according to officer William Lewis’ report.

Shadrick was cited and released. • A victim reported being assaulted by Christopher Carlton Toney, 34, around 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 13 near the 600 block of Elm Avenue, according to officer Michael Riley’s report. The victim filed assault and battery charges on site.

Toney was arrested. • OUPD arrested Braxton Neil Banning, 23, on suspicion of public intoxication after he allegedly ran from officers during the OU-Tennessee game on Sept. 13 at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, according to officer William Lewis’

Because there are typiPublic intoxication: 11 cally thousands of people DUI: 2 around campus on game days, and many of them consuming alcohol, safety is OUPD’s first concern on game days, OUPD spokesperson Lt. Bruce Chan said.

Increasing staff patrol, staffing a command post and coordinating with The Norman Police Department as well as other university departments are a few of the precautions OUPD takes to provide security. “Those are just general practices and protocols we undertake every time that we host a big special event, whether it’s a football game or commencement or any other large-scale public gathering,� Chan said.

Crime prevention

Arresting people isn’t law enforcement’s main concern, Chan said. “The safety of the individual as well as the safety of the community is our primary concern when we interact with or contact somebody who is intoxicated,� Chan said.

Instead of arresting someone, police may help the intoxicated individual hail a cab or call a friend to get them home, Chan said.

Students might not realize that The Oklahoma Daily is part of OU Student Media, a department in Student Affairs, that comprises publications beyond the student newspaper. We appreciate our sister publications and want to highlight one in particular all Sooners should support: the award-winning Sooner yearbook.

Whereas The Daily is published five days a week, Sooner yearbook has time to create one incredibly polished product commemorating an entire year at OU. The students who work everyday to make Sooner great have a long track record of producing award-winning content, and we encourage all students to purchase a copy of Sooner to commemorate their time at OU. Last year alone, Sooner won a staggering 15 Gold Circles — awards granted by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association — and is a finalist this year for the Pinnacle award honoring the best yearbook of the year.

The Our View Since 1997, Sooner has also won is the majority opinion of nine Gold Crowns, five Pacemakers, The Daily’s 30 Best of Collegiate Design and 10 nine-member Best of Show rankings. editorial board Sooner is unique because its staff takes inspiration from magazines.

It reads like a magazine, Sooner editor Max Inmon said. The yearbooks are like a “time capsule for the year,” Inmon said. “We always try to make it as engaging as possible.”

We believe that commitment to creating an engaging and visually striking product is what earns Sooner its rank as one of the top collegiate yearbooks year after year. The yearbook also experiences perennial success because of its student workers, said Seth Prince, digital and design adviser to Student Media.

“I believe Sooner, like The Daily, succeeds thanks to the strength of its students and the investment they make in this as a real-world training ground for their careers,” Prince said.

Student organization rules need updating procedures seem obsolete.

The first rule in question involves chalking. Did you know that sidewalk chalk for RSOs must be in yellow or white water-soluble chalk?

If you didn’t, it may be because the chalk color rules are increasingly ignored.

may be breaking the rules responsibly or that someone, maybe Batman, is silently enforcing the rule. I can see how too many fliers could pollute campus, but I think the rule could be relaxed a little.

More importantly, some procedures can inhibit student organizations’ activity. It’s not clear where registered student organizations cannot meet. There are forms to meet in classrooms, in the Oklahoma Memorial Union and on the South Oval, but there is not a clearly designated procedure for student organizations to meet up somewhere like Campus Corner. The Student Travel Authorization Request form for student organizations only applies if the destination is more than 50 miles from the campus, according to the student travel policy. Perhaps the Waiver and Release of Liability form applies to these situations, but the procedure to meet near campus isn’t readily apparent, if it even exists.

As such, if a group decides to meet near campus without approval, they likely won’t go through

all me insane. Call me a fanatic. Call me what you will, because I just spent nearly six hours waiting in line for the new iPhone 6. I woke up at 2 a.m., got dressed and grabbed a quick bite to eat before leaving for the AT&T store off 24th Street in Norman. There were eight people already in line when I arrived — not a bad showing for such an early hour.

I set up camp (a folding chair and my homework) and admired my surroundings. It was a cool 64 degrees, sticky humid and the sky was cloudy and dark. The roads were empty, the businesses were closed and I could hear a train’s horn sound off in the distance over a chorus of crickets.

Three of the people in line picked up a game of tennis — sans net, of course — in the empty parking lot. One of them, a high school student named Skyler Hoffstatter, had been waiting in line since 5 p.m. the day before.

I asked him why he had decided to line up so early. “I like to be first,�

Hoffstatter said.

People steadily queued up behind me. Five hours later, our line had grown to nearly 50 people.

It would turn out that this would be one of the shortest AT&T lines in the Oklahoma City metro.

I asked a few of the other people why they felt the need to wait in line for the iPhone. I got a few good answers, but I think Best Buy employee Taylor Hill summed it up best. “I’d rather wait 10 hours

than 10 weeks to get my new phone,� Hill said.

When 8 a.m. struck and the doors finally opened, Hoffstatter was the first to get the new iPhone. He chose to go with the larger version, the iPhone 6 Plus, in gold.

I couldn’t help but notice that he was switching from a Samsung Galaxy S5.

Hoffstatter said his main reason for switching was he liked the design of the iPhone better, and he preferred the metal casing of the iPhone to the plastic of the Galaxy.

Hoffstatter said he wanted his phone to work for him, not the other way around. “Android is too complex,�

Hoffstatter said.

Justin Martin, who was also switching from the Galaxy S5, agreed with Hoffstatter. In addition to aesthetics and ease of use, Martin said he felt the fingerprint scanner on the iPhone was faster and more reliable than the swipe style scanner on the Galaxy.

them, it was my turn to get the new iPhone. I wanted a black iPhone 6 Plus, but all they had left in the Plus variety was gold. In fact, that was the only iPhone Plus AT&T had left — the last of a total of nine — so it was either gold or nothing until November, according to Apple’s website. Fortunately, it was my preferred storage configuration: 64 GB. All in all, it was a surprisingly fun experience.

It was an excuse for complete strangers to come together and talk to each other. It felt a bit like tailgating minus the booze. I can’t say that I’ll be doing it again next year, or ever again for that matter, but I don’t regret having done it. My only concern now is whether or not I made a huge mistake by buying the absolutely massive iPhone 6 Plus.

o Keith Ford, no problem. It was Alex Ross who got the start, but freshman Samaje Perine who stole the show. At 5-foot11, 243 pounds, Perine may not be the quickest guy on the field, but chances are he’s right up there with the biggest. Perine used that power to run for 242 yards on 34 carries and four touchdowns, three coming during the Sooners’ second half surge. Perine became the third true freshman to rush for over 200 yards in a game.

n two games against West Virginia, Trevor Knight hasn’t exactly performed up to par. Last year in Knight’s initial quarterback campaign he struggled at home against the Mountaineers and was eventually replaced

by Blake Bell because of an injury. Knight again struggled in the first half Saturday night, specifically with his accuracy. It also didn’t help that his receivers couldn’t hang on to the ball.

fter a tough game last week against Tennessee, the offensive line bounced back with a solid performance against West Virginia. Knight’s issues weren’t because of a lack of protection. In a hostile environment, Knight calmly collected his offensive line and made sure they knew what was going on. Not to mention they did an excellent job opening up holes for Perine.
