Shannon’s suspension upheld The junior linebacker’s permission to stay on the team has been revoked JOE MUSSATTO Sports Editor @joe_mussatto

The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled Monday to allow the university to enforce its one-year suspension of junior linebacker Frank Shannon, according to The Oklahoman.

Shannon was suspended after an alleged sexual assault in January when the school found him in violation of the Title IX sexual misconduct policy.

He had been granted a stay by District Court Judge Tracy Shumacher to remain enrolled in school and on the football team. The State Supreme Court ruled the stay should never have been granted, according to The Oklahoman’s report.

The linebacker led the team in tackles in 2013 and stood

in silent protest on the sidelines during the team’s opening game against Louisiana Tech.

He and his lawyer, Aletia Ti m m o n s , m a i n t a i n e d that the university had no grounds to suspend Shannon when no criminal charges were filed against him.

Catherine Bishop, OU’s Vice President of Public Affairs, said nothing in it has changed following Monday’s court ruling.

“The final decision of the internal disciplinary process

was suspension of the student for one year,” Bishop said.

“Federal privacy law and other legal considerations prohibit the university from discussing the case further.”

Contrary to the statement, Shannon still appears on the Oklahoma football roster and at his Monday press conference coach Bob Stoops said the issue hadn’t been resolved.

The athletic department declined when asked to comment on the situation.

Benjamin will specifically discuss drone warfare against civilians, which is the topic of her latest book, “Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control,” Irvine said.

“I think it’ll be a very interesting way to think about what’s going on in the world,” Irvine said. “We have a lot of great speakers on campus, but it’s rare to have one with such experience with peace activism.”

Lunar Sooners hold free astronomy outreach programs KATE BERGUM ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR @KATECLAIRE_B A group of students plan to travel to church groups, scout troops, schools and camps this year to spark interest in outer space.

The Lunar Sooners, a student group that holds free star-gazing events and a s t ro n o my d e m o n s t ra tions, met for the first time Monday evening to discuss their plans and goals.

The group was initiated after physics and astronomy graduate students Sara Barber and Jeremy Lusk received the Thatcher Hoffman Smith Creativity in Motion Grant and were awarded $10,000, which they have put toward funding the organization.

Barber, the unofficial president of Lunar Sooners, said that she and other graduate students have held informal astronomy outreach programs since 2012.

Classes, camps, parks and other groups have contacted OU’s physics and astronomy department over the past few years asking for workshops about outer space, Barber said.

Brian Friesen, physics and astronomy graduate student and the organization’s unofficial vice president, said that many of the groups that requested the graduate students to hold events heard of them by word of mouth.

Pe ople who attende d OU’s Star Parties, campus star-gazing events hosted by physics and astronomy graduate students, would sometimes refer friends and relatives to the department for private events.

Now that the Lunar Sooners have money from the grant, these informal outreach programs will be available to more people, Barber said.

Previously, the graduate student volunteers only held events for groups who could reimburse them for travel and lodging costs, Barber said. Now, the grant will pay for such expenses,

EDITORIAL

Unconscious exclusions of nude Our View: We encourage our readers to actively redefine “nude” and consider the subtle examples of racism they encounter every day.

Imagine this: you are a young African American woman who has run to the local department store to grab a “nude” colored bra to wear under a sheer outfit, say a game-day dress or a work interview blouse. But when you get to the store there is no “nude” lingerie, at least not for you. Bras in slightly different shades of pale peach abound, but there are few to no options for darker-skinned women and they aren’t advertised as nude-colored. How would it make you feel that the fashion industry and society at large has based its ideal of nude on Caucasian people? That the color of your skin doesn’t count as “nude?”

Fortunately, one lingerie company is shining a light on this glaring discrepancy and is actively redefining nude. Nubian Skin creates nude lingerie and hosiery for women of color and is built on the foundation that all women should have access to the same beauty products. The concept is so new that the brand’s online storefront hasn’t launched yet, but we posit the company will do quite well.

After all, it is filling a hole in the market that larger lingerie brands have chosen to overlook.

Nubian Skin’s mission to bring nude products to women who aren’t white made us think about other subtle examples of white privilege we see in Nude color bras aren’t catered for all skin colors. stores every day. For example, whenever you’ve had a minor cut or scrape and gone to reach for a Band-Aid, have you ever used one that wasn’t considering nearly a third of the U.S. population made for light-skinned people?

people who aren’t white.

We encourage all of our readers to think critically about the small instances of racial bias they encounter each and every day. While you may not have ever had to deal with being unable to find flesh-colored products in the actual color of your skin, it is the reality of commercialism for millions of Americans.

Would you use tapingo? How would you use it?

“I would use it to my advantage to pick up food during my 15-minute breaks. Without it, there would be no time to wait in a line, have them make it and get to class on time.”

“It’s a pretty cool idea, and if I lived on campus I might use it. It doesn’t really save me enough time to be worth it since I eat there like once a month. Also, I tend to hang out with friends when I go to the Union, not take things to go. So I really don’t need it.”

“If it’s accessible and really easy to use, then I’ll use it. Being able to skip the line is an amazing feature and would make the app worth having.”

- Cooper Sills University College freshman

“I would use it all the time. When I get out of class it’s about the same time everyone else gets out for lunch. I would order it and pick it up and skip the 30-minute line.”

“If you don’t have time in between classes to wait and sit and eat it would be helpful. My Wednesdays are super packed.”

ach fashion devotee has her very own signature style.

Don’t let the workplace inhibit your sense of individuality. Proper business casual attire can be attained whilst you maintain your sense of self. The easiest and most foolproof way to place your own twist on boring business casual is by adding accessories. A couple of staple pieces will ensure that your ensemble will look uniform, but still unique. These tips will ensure your wardrobe is ready for the career fair:

LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST

Bailey Chambers baychams92@aol.com @baichambers

1.) Shoes Stunning yet simple heels are a perfect choice for adding modern elegance to slacks or a pencil skirt. The worst part about wearing heels is not being able to forget that you’re wearing them. With heels, you can be professional and poised with a more formal edge. Make sure the ones you choose for the fair are well seasoned and broken in. The more comfortable you are in what you wear, the more confident you’ll feel. If you’re more of a flat–shoe kind of gal, sleek leather flats can dress up any ensemble.

2.) Skirt A simple pencil skirt can instantly bump your look up to the business level. While they come in an array of colors and lengths, the classic high waisted bottoms are both flattering and classic. The pencil skirt will keep you from delving into the world of women’s slacks or worrying if a skirt or dress hem it too long or too short for the occasion.

5.

4.

3.) Bag Over-sized bags are a must for carrying all of my necessities — from my giant laptop to a pair of flip-flops to replace my heels when the day’s teetering gets the best of me.

Essentially, it’s as big as my backpack but sleek enough that it’s still called a purse. Store your career-ready résumés and notepad in here for the day’s meet-and-greets.

4.) Shirt To stay professional, stick with more neutral tones, or colors that aren’t too loud or distracting. Crazy patterns and fluorescent colors can take away from the business-ready vibe you’re going for, but little details like ruffles or a bow keep the entire look feminine without going overboard with glitter or sequins. Keep it simple.

3.

2.

5.) Blazer To complete your look, top everything off with a tailored blazer. No matter what you decide to wear, a nice jacket strongly finishes the outfit.

Y

ou can bet that the ladies will be dressed to impress at this week’s career fair, but not every guy knows how to stand out. Don’t be upstaged by your female counterparts, guys. There are plenty of easy ways to make an impression of your own while keeping things tasteful. Slacks and a jacket are the perfect foundation for a career-ready outfit, but these five items can make or break your suit and give you the confidence you need to wow your prospective employers. With men’s fashion, it’s all about the minutiae. We’ll start on the floor and work our way up:

Graham Dudley graham.l.dudley-1@ou.edu

1.) Shoes Few things can make an outfit like a good pair of shoes.

If your slacks and jacket are black, stick with black shoes.

They might not be as flashy but a polished pair of black shoes can impress and perfectly complement the rest of your ensemble. If, however, your pants are khaki-colored or navy blue, go with a pair of brown, leather Oxfords.

They’re trendier and more original than their black counterparts and will make any employer pay attention.

2.) Socks You’ve got the sleek black pants, jacket and shoes on, and you’re looking sharp. But you also kind of look like you’re going to a funeral. Nothing can remedy the situation faster than bright socks. No, don’t roll up your pants to show them off or something weird like that. Your prospective employer is only meant to catch a glimpse — but bright socks are hard to miss, and they’ll make you stick in mind for being just the right amount of irreverent.

5.

4.

3.

3.) Watch A nice watch is something worth investing in, but if you don’t have a nice one, wearing any watch at all definitely makes a difference. In this age of cell phones, watches are suddenly ornamentation — so going the extra mile and wearing one is impressive. It’s usually best to stick to black or brown, and a leather strap always looks nice. Keep it classy.

4.) Belt Brown shoes? Wear a brown belt. Black shoes? Wear a black belt. My belt is reversible and takes care of both these needs. If you have a different colored belt, don’t wear it to the career fair. The end.

5.) Tie Finally we’ve arrived at the manliest of the man-cessories — the tie. A good tie can make or break your outfit, but don’t go crazy. In a business setting there’s nothing wrong with playing it safe. One great way to be both edgy and professional this year is to opt for a knit tie — it’s both office-ready and young. Of course it’s totally acceptable to go tieless these days, even with a jacket. Use your best judgment.
