Students who have applied to run for UOSA office will take the next step as they attend a mandatory meeting that lays out the ground rules for campaigning.

The meeting helps avoid controversy by giving all of the candidates the information needed in order to campaign fairly, UOSA Election Chair Cole Jackson said.

The filing period to run in the Nov. 6 and 7 UOSA general elections closed Thursday, and candidates now must attend one of the meetings at 1 or 6 p.m. this Thursday.

Thirty-seven positions in UOSA must be filled, according to an email from UOSA. These open seats include the Interfraternity Council President, the Panhellenic Association President, the National Pan-Hellenic President and the Multicultural Greek Council President, as well a s 3 3 U n d e r g ra d u at e Student Congress District Representative positions.

Students who wanted to run filled out a form under the General Elections tab on the UOSA website, J a c k s o n s a i d . T h e s e students were required to be in good standing w i t h t h e i r a c a d e m i c department, which had to be confirmed by the dean of their college, and be members of whatever district for which they were running, Jackson said.

A s s o o n a s t h e information from the students’ applications is verified, the students’ names will be put on the ballot. The candidates will have the two weeks before the elections — the weeks of October 22 and 29 — to campaign. Each candidate will receive a portion of the UOSA Code Annotated that pertains to the elections, and they will be required to follow all of the campaign rules laid out in that portion.

Students can vote at elections.ou.edu with their OU 4x4. OUIT will collect that data, which Jackson will then process and turn in to the Undergraduate Student Congress, the Graduate Student Senate, Superior Court and General Council within 24 hours of the polls’ closing.

Members of the Karate Club spar during a club meeting Friday in Sarkeys Energy Center.

SAM HIGGINSCampus Reporter

Sarkeys Energy Center: home to fossils, geology classes and, yes, karate.

The lobby of the Sarkeys Energy Center may seem like an unusual

place for a martial arts practice. However, that is where the Sooner Karate Club meets every Friday and Sunday.

The group, which consists of 15 members, was started three years ago by Henry Badra — a geology student who has since graduated. Ryan Lago, a black belt, now leads the group. Lago has been practicing the art of karate since he was in the 4th grade.

“Martial arts is a very humbling experience,” Lago said. “So we’re all very open to learning new things. It’s formal in the sense that you are learning new techniques every day, but it’s also informal because it’s kind of an

experiment. It’s trying to apply that principle physically. That’s what I enjoy about karate, and I think that’s what people find rewarding.”

E n g l i s h j u n i o r Dylan Alford has been a member of the club for about a year. He says he was never physically active as a kid, but he has found a niche in the Sooner K a r a t e c l u b t h a t provides a way for him to become active.

“ I h a d n ’ t d o n e a n y t h i n g r e a l l y physical before. I just

haven’t been interested in it,” Alford said. “I figured I should be active as I get older and do new things. Martial arts is just the thing that sounded

Ring Ceremony to honnor philosophy professor

Sooner Ally book club to discuss bullying related to the coming out experience

an award-winning ou philosophy and religious studies professor will be honored at ou’s annual ring Ceremony on Friday.

ou philosophy professor tom Boyd has been teaching at ou for 40 years, according to a press release. He retired from fulltime teaching in 1997 but was talked out of retirement in 2002 to join ou’s religious studies program.

Boyd, who specializes in philosophy of religion and ethics, recently has been concentrating on the relationships between different world religions and between religion and culture.

the oklahoma Foundation for excellence awarded him the medal of excellence in 1996 for his contributions and pursuit of excellence as an educator, and he is currently in high demand, as he speaks at campuses across the country regarding religion.

Boyd and his wife, Barbara, were the fi rst to participate in the Faculty-in-residence program initiated by president Boren in 1996, press secretary michael nash said.

Boyd will retire at the end of the academic year in the spring, according to nash.

this year’s ou ring Ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. in oklahoma memorial union’s courtyard, according to a press release. the ceremony will honor graduating seniors, alumni and Boyd.

in the event of rain, the ceremony will be held in oklahoma memorial union’s Beaird Lounge, according to the press release.

they will be reading and discussing “it Gets Better: Coming out, overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living” by dan savage. the book club is open to everybody.

“We chose the book because the typical college students are at that age where they are trying to fi nd themselves and come into themselves,” Catlett said. “the book provides multiple voices, including numerous famous people like ellen deGeneres, Hillary Clinton and president obama. the book also addresses bullying in all forms, not just in the gay community; it hits on all forms of the spectrum of sexuality and gender identity.”

members with different backgrounds and styles, the club does not have a formal ranking system.

Lago said that this works to their advantage, as members can learn and build off each other, taking techniques from different styles.

“A lot of the principles of the styles are the same,” Lago explains. “We encourage each other to retain competency in their own styles. Our goal isn’t to change; it’s to build on what you already know and start growing if you haven’t done it before.”

The fetus carnival is back.Today and Wednesday, a group called Justice for All plans

to install giant pictures of aborted fetuses, miscarriages and lynching and Holocaust victims on the South Oval; these pictures will be large enough to see from most of campus. If you’ve never had the displeasure of seeing this display, you won’t be able to avoid it.

The company line from JFA is that this spectacle is supposed to promote “dialogue.” I don’t know about you all, but when I’m interested in genuine conversation , I don’t show up with a script, images of suffering and genocide to make a point, or

paid volunteers and bussed in high school students.JFA is trying to use the weight of social stigma to shame

people out of seeking abortion care. Talk to their “volunteers” if you like, just don’t let them fool you into thinking this is an honest attempt to change minds. It’s manipulation and judgment that doesn’t even bother with a disguise.

What I can guarantee you is that as an individual student I will be on the South Oval as often as I can during those days to talk about reproductive justice: A framework that helps us address injustice and includes fighting for birthing rights, remembering the history of and current forms of

coercive sterilization, supporting gender self-determination, preventing destruction of the environment, guaranteeing consistent and affordable access to abortion care, securing food, shelter and medical care access for every person, etc.

So come find me if you want someone to talk to you, in plain terms, about this framework and how it gets us past the same tired divisions and rhetoric you’ll see from JFA. I’ll be holding a sign (“I had an abortion and it saved my life”). Hope to see you there.

Our View: There is a right way and a wrong way to watch the presidential debates.

The third presidential debate of the season begins at 8 tonight and will feature the presidential candidates responding to pre-screened questions from the audience in a town hall format. To help prepare you, here are a few tips for getting the most out of the debates.

Watch with an open mindThe debate’s primary purpose is to

educate voters on the details of the candidates’ views in their own words. If

you go into the debate expecting to have the exact same views when it’s over, you’re unlikely to learn anything valuable.

So, unless your goal is simply to get your blood pressure up, you should approach the debates with an open mind.

Of course, if you come into the debates already

knowing who you plan to vote for, nothing these candidates say is likely to alter that plan. But the ever-evolving discussion surrounding the election is

about more than who you vote for.In a well-moderated debate, candidates reveal

details about their past actions, their future plans and the effects those plans will have on the nation. It is a time to deal in data and facts, allowing viewers

to compare the minutia of the candidates’ platforms.

It’s essential to do this accurately and fairly for the candidate you oppose, but it’s even more important for the candidate you support. You can criticize a candidate’s debate performance and find fault in his plans without changing your vote.

And if you are one of those undecideds, the debates are a chance to actually listen to the candidates’ views with less interference from the opposing party’s attacks.

Ignore the rhetoric and focus on the facts.

But be skepticalYou cannot take either candidate at his word. The

most important thing you can do during the debates is fact-check every claim made by either candidate.

If you’d rather devote your focus to the candidates’ performances during the debate, you can check any of the major news sources or fact-checking websites for comprehensive coverage when the debate ends.

If you like to multi-task and would rather have live analysis, social media can help. The Twitter accounts listed here will offer live fact-checking

from experienced researchers, journalists and political analysts. If you hear a claim that hasn’t yet been checked, you can tweet with the hashtags #factcheckthis or #PolitiFactThis.

Whichever method you choose, just be sure to fact check any claims before believing them, forming opinions based on them or — most importantly — dispersing them to other voters.

Keep your priorities straightIgnore the rhetoric and focus on the facts. While a

candidate’s attitude sometimes can reveal important details, the debates should not be performances.

Unless it’s about a personal subject, any claim that cannot be fact checked should be disregarded as a political tactic.

Let your opinions be swayed by numbers, facts and specific plans to improve the nation — not by political theater.

EDITORIAL

How to watch tonight’s presidential debate

Editor’s Note: This is the second column in a two-part series on misogyny in gaming culture. Read the � rst part on OUDaily.com.

Misogyny in gaming culture goes beyond the

obnoxious online behavior of some gamers. Online or offline, sexism is a factor, because in many cases it is written onto the game disc itself.

Sexism in games is less explicit than sexism in gamers, mostly because the former is subliminal whereas the latter is yelled through a microphone. Game developers don’t intend to insult the person playing their game — their insults are accidental.

Of course, that doesn’t make them any less harmful. I’ve identified three major obstacles facing women who want to see themselves and their sex properly reflected in games. It is my hope gamers, female and male, will recognize each as a problem and pressure the gaming industry to correct it.

UnderrepresentationPerhaps the most clear indication of sexism in the video

game industry is how few female characters it produces, let alone female protagonists. As in film and literature, women are underrepresented in games.

Many, if not most, gamers seem to recognize women are underrepresented in games but fail to appreciate just how absurd the disparity really is. Though women make up about 50 percent of the population, a study done in 2009 by social psychologist Dmitri Williams shows they only make up about 15 percent of video game characters.

The disparity no doubt widens when one only considers protagonists. It’s no secret female characters typically function merely on the level of sidekicks and other minor roles. This, too, was confirmed in Williams’ study and many others.

Online journalism sophomore Miranda Sanchez pointed out while women are still severely underrepresented in games, there is a light on the horizon. She said she hopes, with the growing number

of games that allow character customization, women characters will be seen more. She specifically cites the “Mass Effect” series as an important example.

“In ‘Mass Effect,’ you can [make your character] a girl,” Sanchez said. “That’s the kind of thing that’s giving more freedom to female gamers. Customization … is a bit more inviting to women.”

TropesFemale video game characters tend to be badly

written. Not in the sense that their dialogue comes across as clunky or nonsensical, but badly written in the sense that their characterization is based on overplayed tropes that reinforce sexist ideas.

A well-known example is the “damsel in distress,” possibly the most popular female trope in video games. Countless female game characters embody this trope, including many of the most well-known ones, from Princess Peach of “Super Mario” fame to Cortana from the “Halo” franchise.

In the context of individual games, tropes such as this might not seem harmful, but when they’re widespread, they become problematic. It should worry us so many female characters are classified as helpless, male-dependent damsels. The trope reflects badly on women in general.

Other popular tropes include the “femme fatale” and the ”sexy sidekick,” both of which are self-explanatory. One should note what all these tropes I’ve mentioned have in common is their tendency to define females only in relation to men, and usually as something that will fulfill their sexual desires.

The science of sexist tropes and the way they’re applied in video games is complex and detailed. But fortunately, there’s a good, free resource on the web for learning about them. I recommend to every gamer the work of the feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian.

Sometime in the next few months, Sarkeesian will begin releasing a series of videos dissecting how women characters are treated in games and how their treatment is justified by tropes.

Keep an eye on FeministFrequency.com to catch the series when it launches.

Sexual ObjectificationLike female characters on television and the

big screen, female characters in video games are sexualized relentlessly.

Except it’s even worse. Because programmers quite

literally mold the characters, the number of absurd, outright unrealistic visual depictions of

women is even higher than in other media.

The average female video game character is incredibly skinny,

scantily-clad, big-breasted, fair-skinned and athletic. Also, her facial structure is radically different than

anything you’ll ever find in the real world.

This sexualization is dangerous for many reasons, but mostly because

it portrays women as mere objects for pleasure and decoration, not as feeling and

thinking persons. Both sexes are done a disservice being

exposed to this notion.Sydney Vaughn, a European studies

and astronomy junior, was so disturbed by the sexualized depiction

of female elves in World of Warcraft she actually changed the race of her character to avoid it.

“Originally I was a Blood Elf, but I switched over to Draenei, which is ...

a totally mythical creature that doesn’t even really have a human form,” Vaughn said.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2012

Far more opportunities than usual are likely to come your way in the year ahead. Put everything to good use, and don’t make the mistake of taking anything for granted -- waves of good fortune don’t last forever.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Instead of assessing things from a realistic, practical perspective, you’ll be inclined to see things as you would like them to be. That spells trouble.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- For some strange reason, you could feel obligated toward someone to whom you owe nothing. Although this will be readily apparent to onlookers, you’ll be hard to convince.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The results aren’t likely to be any good if you join forces with someone who treats lightly an issue that you take seriously. Be more selective of your allies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s not that you’ll be plagued with a lack of imagination -- it’s more likely that your schemes will count for little because you might be too lazy to translate your ideas into action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You might be tempted to get involved with someone whom your better judgment tells you to avoid. If you ignore that wise voice within you, you’ll regret it later.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The only way you can be successful

is to personally manage all your endeavors to their conclusions. The things you don’t supervise could quickly run amok.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This might not be the best day to start a program that requires tremendous self-discipline, such as a diet or an exercise regimen. It isn’t likely you’ll have the necessary staying power.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you need to purchase something expensive, it would be a good idea to bring along an adviser who is truly value-conscious. Chances are, you won’t recognize a bum deal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The best way to be truly effective is to understate things. Being ostentatious or displaying a gaudy taste could severely and permanently damage your image.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Instead of striving to be realistic as per usual, you could feel that the world owes you a living. Because life disagrees with you, unfortunately, disappointment is likely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s OK to get involved in a pleasurable pursuit, just be sure you can afford it. Plus make sure your cohorts are willing to pay their fair share.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It’s never a good time to take important things for granted, especially where your work or career is concerned. If you get too complacent, it could quickly lead to your downfall.

national championship or bust for OU

Kedric KitchensSports Editor

The Oklahoma women’s basketball team is ready to compete for a national championship this season.

The coaches and players echoed the sentiment when the team held its first official practice and local media day Monday afternoon.

“Our goal is a national c h a m p i o n s h i p,” s e n i o r guard Whitney Hand said. “You can smile and act like we don’t mean it, but that is my definition of success.”

Hand also said, although she is trying, it’s difficult to temper her excitement about the season.

“It’s one of those seasons where you are so excited and you don’t want to be too excited,” she said. “You don’t want to have all of these crazy expectations, but they are genuine.”

Hand said her excitement and expectations have been reinforced by the look and feel of the team.

“It feels different, it just does,” Hand said. “You walk in the gym and there is just a different look in people’s eyes.”

Hand also said the team is more talented all-around than it has been in the past.

“We’re really talented, that ’s a big one,” Hand said. “We don’t have any of those players that we are like, they’re OK. Everyone i s t h e r e , e v e r y o n e i s prepared.”

After taking a preseason

t r i p t o A u s t r a l i a , w h e r e t h e team played f o u r g a m e s a g a i n s t A u s t r a l i a n t e a m s , M o n d a y ’ s practice was the first of the official season. And coach Sherri Coale said

the team did well.“I don’t think I could

have asked for today to have gone any better actually,” Coale said. “It was a really productive two hours.”

A big reason the Sooners have higher expectations this season is thanks to three newcomers who could play predominantly in the team’s outlook.

Freshman guards Maddie Manning and Nicole Kornet and junior transfer Portia Durrett joined the Sooners this year, and Coale said they all bring something different and important to the team.

“All three of the new guys are very different and yet very much needed in their areas of specificity,” she said.

Coale said the new players a re s o h e l p f u l b e cau s e they don’t have a lot of the deficiencies newcomers typically have.

“They’re all three ready,” Coale said. “They’re more ready than most guys coming into a Division I program for the first time.”

J u n i o r g u a r d A a r y n E l l e n b e r g e c h o e d t h e

sentiments of her coach.“Not having to teach them

too much, they are really smart, makes it a lot easier for us,” Ellenberg said.

The Sooners were picked to finish second in the Big 12 by the conference coaches last week behind defending national champions, Baylor. And if the Sooners are going to make a run at a conference and national championship, they will have to get through the powerhouse Bears to do it.

“ O u r t r a d i t i o n h e r e i s t o w i n c o n f e r e n c e championships, and we h av e n ’ t d o n e t h a t i n a while,” Hand said. “I got to do it freshman year, and we haven’t done it sense. We’ve been in a drought, and that’s what we are going for.”

When asked if OU could take down the champions, Coale responded simply and definitively.

“Well, yeah,” Coale said.

Five starters return this year, three players recruited

Coach brings more than name to teammen’S tenniS

Garrett holtSports Reporter

Oklahoma men’s tennis coach John Roddick is used to his name garnering attention from the tennis world.

His younger brother, Andy Roddick, is the former No. 1-ranked player in the world and one of the most famous tennis stars from the U.S.

“ I t h e l p s r e c r u i t i n g internationally quite a bit,” John Roddick said. “If it’s a player from another country who may not know who the coach is, it helps for them to have at least some idea of who I am. It definitely helps me get my foot in the door.”

T h o s e i n t e r n a t i o n a l players should think twice, though, if they are under the impression that all John Roddick is offer ing is a famous last name.

Two years ago, OU reached the Elite 8 in the NC AA Tournament, beating third-ranked Texas in the Sweet 16. Last year, Oklahoma captured the Big 12 title by beating Baylor.

This success has endeared John Roddick to his players.

“It’s been pretty great,” senior Lawrence Formentera said. “Once he took the job, we had a really big boost i n t h e ra n k i ng s. We a l l really improved, and even recruiting has gotten better.

Everything has been better with him taking over the job.”

Similar to the players, the assistant coaches also have nothing but praise for John Roddick.

“I played for him at Georgia from 2000 to 2004,” assistant coach Bo Hodge said. “That’s one of the reasons why I took the job, because of him, along with the program.”

This enthusiasm, plus the return of sixth-ranked singles player senior Costin Paval, has the Sooners positioned n i c e l y t o hav e a n o t h e r successful season .

The team’s mood is one of confidence and experience. The Sooners are ready to head into this year with one of the best seasons in OU tennis history already under their belts.

“ I h a v e p r e t t y h i g h expectations for the team,” Formentera said. “We won the Big 12 last year, and we’re one of the teams to beat now.”

John Roddick wants to make this season the best of his career as the Sooners’ head coach.

“Our goals are always to win the conference, first and foremost,” John Roddick said. “Then in the NCAA tournament, we want to make a run to the Elite 8 or Final 4. We want to put ourselves in the position to be in the later stages of the tournament.”

John Roddick has proven he has what it takes to lead a team to the pinnacle of the

college tennis world, and his achievements far outstrip his relation to his brother and their history together.

“ W e ’ r e l i k e n o r m a l brothers,” John Roddick said. “Honestly, we don’t talk that much tennis anymore,

especially now that he’s retired. I doubt that he’s picked up a racquet since the U.S. Open.”

baked goods for a snack to tasty pizzas and paninis for lunch or dinner. If you have a stressful test coming up, a glass of Michelangelo’s rich wine might help you relax and get your study on.

Gray Owl CoffeeIf you prefer to study in more of a classic coffee house

atmosphere, then Gray Owl is the perfect place for you. There is plenty of space and several comfortable sitting areas for you to spread out your textbooks.

“I think this is a great place for college kids because Gray Owl is open and inviting to the community,” barista Laine Bergeron said. “There is lots of space for study groups to meet.”

Gray Owl offers a variety of drinks, including organic coffees and teas.

“The light music helps keep me relaxed,” visual communications senior Carli Lewis said. “I love this place and keep coming back because their baked goods are always fresh.”

Gray Owl Coffee is located at 223 East Gray St. and is open until 11 p.m.

Alternatives on campusIf downtown seems a little too far away or

adventuresome for you, there are several other places you can go and enjoy on campus. Within walking distance are many alternatives to the library.

If you are a lounger, places like Gaylord Hall and Adams Hall have several comfy couches and tables downstairs in the lobby.

If you just have some reading to knock out or a research paper to conquer, try out somewhere other than the library. It just might spark that fire you need to cross some things off your “to do” list this fall.

Erica Laub is a sociology junior.

If you are feeling that the library already seems boring halfway into the semester, you might find that

trying out somewhere new to study can put you in the focus mode you desperately need to get to work. Here are some other places that can help stimulate you when studying for those midterms:

Michelangelo’s Coffee & Wine Bar

If you’re looking for a quiet, more sophisticated study environment, Michelangelo’s in downtown Norman at 207 East Main St. is the place to go. The coffee and wine bar offers more than just the fuel you need to keep you going — Michelangelo’s classy Italian vibe is the perfect place to settle in for an uninterrupted study sesh.

“When the library gets too crowded, it’s nice to get off campus,” history senior Elliott May said. If the library is a little too quiet for you, Michelangelo’s soothing music selection provides an entertaining study atmosphere.

“I like the music here … it really helps me to relax,” May said.

While you’re there, try a vanilla latte with ice. This drink is refreshing on a warm day and is loaded with fuel to get you through some heavy reading.

Michelangelo’s also offers a great menu ranging from

Iranian films showcase culture through festival

Erica LaubLife & Arts reporter

The OU Iranian Studies Program will celebrate Iranian cinema with a screening of a series of contemporary Iranian films this week.

“Turtles Can Fly,” directed by Bahman Ghobadi in 2004, will be screened at 7 tonight at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.

This film exposes the h a r s h c i rc u m s t a n c e s Kurdish refugee children endured the night before the American invasion of Iraq, according to the event website.

“Like many Iranian films, [this film] focuses on children in order to get around censorship code, which makes for an interesting emotional tone,” said Katrina Boyd, OU professor of film and media studies. “‘Turtles Can Fly’ is a particularly moving and devastating film.”

The Oklahoma City Museum of Art will screen “The Green Wave,” directed by Ali Samadi Ahadi in 2010, will be screened at 5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. This film follows the then-called Green Wave of the young Iranians who hoped for change during the presidential elections, according to the website.

“Baran,” directed by Majid Majidi in 2001, will also be screened at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. According to the event webpage, the film is about Lateef, an Iranian man who loses his job and becomes obsessed with his replacement, who is a woman disguised as a man, and learns lessons regarding maturity and tolerance.

“This Is Not a Film,” directed by Jafar Panahi in 2011, will be screened at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. According the event webpage, the film is a secretly-shot documentary of film director Jafar Panahi. The film was shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled inside of a cake into France. The award-winning film features Panahi’s life as he was sentenced to house arrest after appealing a six-year prison sentence and a 20-year ban on filmmaking.

“A Separation,” directed by Ashgar Farhadi in 2011, will be screened at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
