Alumna crowned Miss Okla.Class of 2012 graduate hailed beauty queen Saturday night at Mabee Center in Tulsa

STEFANIE TAPKENews Reporter@stefftapp

It’s been a long journey for OU alumna, Alexandra Eppler, whose sixth and final appearance on the Miss Oklahoma stage proved the wait was worth it.

Standing in the top two, just as the year before, Eppler was prepared to hear her name called as first runner-up and see the end of her pageant career without ever win-ning a Miss Oklahoma title. But her worries didn’t last long.

Eppler, a 2012 OU graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree, was crowned Miss Oklahoma 2014 on Saturday night at the Mabee Center in Tulsa and will now compete in the Miss America Pageant.

“I feel like I’m dreaming,” Eppler said. “God’s timing has just been so perfect. I couldn’t be more thankful. I never really considered it a loss the past five times, I just thought God’s timing wasn’t right for me and this time it was.”

Eppler was right. It was nothing short of perfect timing, as she would’ve aged out of pageant eligibility after this year at 23.

Despite many who doubted she’d ever earn a state title and urged her to give up her pageant dreams, she took her last shot this year, representing the town of Enid, Oklahoma. She has held titles such as Miss Oklahoma State Fair 2010, Miss Tulsa 2011, Miss Moore-Norman 2012 and Miss Edmond Liberty Fest 2013.

“It’s been kind of crazy, but it’s been absolutely wonderful,” Eppler said.

Eppler will receive a $16,000 cash scholarship as part of her winnings, which she plans to use to attend graduate school after completing her reign as Miss Oklahoma, she said.

Eppler came to OU and worked four part-time jobs as an under-graduate student. These, along with her winnings at regional pageants, allowed her to graduate from college completely debt-free.

As Miss Oklahoma, Eppler is most looking forward to the opportunities the crown gives her to impact the lives of others.

“Being able to put my crown on a little girl’s head, dance around the room with her, tell her she’s the princess now, and make her feel beautiful and special is what it’s really all about,” she said. “I know through this system and organi-zation I’ll have opportunities to impact lives all across the state.”

Eppler has enjoyed working as an eigth and ninth grade

science teacher at The Academy of Classical Christian Studies in Oklahoma City since August 2012. But she will give up teaching for now to devote 100 percent of her time to fulfilling her role as Miss Oklahoma and preparing for the upcoming Miss America pageant.

“Although I will miss teaching and my stu-dents, I know my role as Miss Oklahoma will allow me to continue to impact people’s lives, in even more ways than I can now,” she said.

For now, Eppler is focused on preparing for the national pageant, which will incorporate the same areas of competition as a regional or

state pageant, but are “just much more intense,” she said.

Eppler will start training for Miss America immediately with the help of her new team, the Miss Oklahoma Board.

“I have an amazing team of people behind me,” she said. “They’ll be call-ing me saying are you eating right? Are you reading? Are you working out? You know, because I have to be at the top of my game. I have to be in shape and I have to know what’s going on in the

world. I’m confident that I have the best team in the nation behind me.”

Eppler succeeds Kelsey Griswold and will compete in the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City on Sept. 14.

media bring Students launch social media campaign to benefit grieving family

Photo Provided

OU Graduate student Lena Khander (pictured) and two undergraduate students, Angie Tran and Tory Kappel launched an orginization with the help of social media to help a grieving family in Khander’s community.

Cody PhilliPsNews Editor @codyrayphillips

Graduate student Lena Khader never anticipated just how influential the student-led organization she found-ed would be. Then, the death of Luis Rodriguez at Moore Warren Theatre put her in just the position to help a griev-ing family.

With the help of two OU undergraduate students, Angie Tran and Tory Kappel, Khader successfully organized a student-led organization in the fall of 2013 for high school students of south Oklahoma City and Moore. They decided to call the organization “Making Herstory.”

Compelled by the problems she saw in her communi-ty, Khader started Making Herstory to discuss sexism and racism in a feminist space. Weekly facilitations encour-aged the students to independently ask questions of the world around them. Typical exercises for the students in-cluded identifying sexist stereotypes in Disney princess-es or pinpointing the problems with the way Christopher Columbus was portrayed in grade-school history classes.

When Rodriguez died during police incarceration, Khader led Making Herstory students through a planned facilitation, searching the library for news on Pearl Pearson, Oscar Grant and Vincent Shin. All were victims of alleged police brutality. The ensuing conversation that night quickly turned to Rodriguez, with students asking what they could do to help the family.

“ My s t u d e nt s a c t u a l l y asked what can we do for the family and how can we organize around it,” said Khader, giving all credit to her students.

T h a t ’s w h e n M a k i n g Herstory decided to hold a fundraiser for the Rodriguez family, raising $250 for vari-ous costs the loss of a father brings. This number may not seem like a lot to pro-vide a family who has lost a loved one, but Khader looks past the dollar amount earned, seeing the lesson learned in producing such a gift.

“Maybe $250 isn’t a lot, but for a community organization

of 15 to 20 students from impoverished communi-ties, that’s a big deal for them, and I think it was a great organizing experience for them.”

W h e n R o d r i g u e z ’ s widow, Nair, came through the door of the Hubbly Bubbly Hookah & Cafe on the day of the event, Making Herstory students imme-diately rushed to embrace

her. Nair Rodriguez then returned the hug of every Making Herstory student.

“It was very emotional,” said Kappel, a junior microbi-ology student.

Maybe $250 isn’t a lot, but for a community organization of 15 to 20

students from impoverished communities, that’s a big deal for them and I think it was a great organizing experience for them.”

LENA KhAdEr, COmmUNiTy COUNCiLiNG GrAdUATE sTUdENT

‘‘

Making Herstory went on to organize a social media campaign to support the family. On the day of the cam-paign, Making Herstory students walked through the halls of their respective schools, asking peers if they had heard of Rodriguez. Many of their peers answered no and asked if they could hear more. Making Herstory students gladly obliged.

Khader’s students then took pictures of their peers holding a dry-erase board stating sentiments of support for Rodriguez. The social media campaign was held on Rodriguez’s birthday, so the board stated, “Today, Luis Rodriguez would have celebrated his birthday,” which stimulated more conversation among those who had not heard of Rodriguez.

Through Facebook and Twitter, Making Herstory stu-dents garnered around 300 high school students and com-munity members to change their profile pictures to the pictures taken of them in the school hallways in support of the Rodriguez family.

Rodriguez family members also changed their profile pictures in support of Making Herstory.

“It was a really good learning experience for them to see how you could use social media as a tool to really engage communities to look at societal issues and really question what’s going on,” Khader said.

Khader is now pursuing a graduate degree in communi-ty counseling at OU.

ARCHITECTURE

• Tour the town’s historic homes

AARON HOWELL Assistant News Editor

The Oklahoma Historical Society held its 26th annual Statewide Preservation Conference at the College of Architecture last week. The focus of the conference was on finding, pre-serving and sharing Oklahoma’s history and culture.

Representatives from across the state gathered to hear from 54 preservation specialists and guest speakers for informational sessions and special events about further protecting Oklahoma’s historical structures.

Norman was among many of the cities that were recognized for its preservation efforts. The historical districts in Norman operates together with OU for the benefit of one another. As one grows, so does the other.

We would like to invite you to join us as we highlight a few of the oldest and most iconic structures and districts that define our great city.

Aaron Howell, Aaronhowell45@gmail.com

Built: 1899

508 N. Peters,

This Queen Anne-style, Victorian home is not only a historical house. It is also a muse-um. Purchased by the city of Norman in 1973, a non-profit organization now operates the house as a museum. It now houses rare books, photo-graphs and artifacts from historic Norman.

Built: 1906

407 W. Boyd Street

Designed by OU’s first president, David Ross Boyd, the Boyd House is often referenced as OU’s White House, because many of the university’s presidents have lived there during their time at OU. Located adjacent to campus corner, the house is widely known and recognized by both stu-dents and residents.

Built: 1917

609 Chautauqua Avenue,

This house offers a unique opportunity to see Oklahoma history. Created by Swedish-born Oscar and Jeanne Jacobson, the house is an open environment featuring Swedish motifs. Now a Native American art center, the Jacobson House is nationally recognized for its documentation of the evolu-tion and success of Native American art in Oklahoma.

Built: 1915-1935

Located between Symmes Street to the North and Brooks Street to the South, Chautauqua Avenue on the East and Lahoma Avenue on the West.

Established in 1995, the Chautauqua district was Norman’s first-designated, local, historical district, encompassing all 153 residential structures and protecting them from alteration. Most are Colonial-style homes, which reflect the individuals who built and lived in these homes, specifically university deans, faculty and prominent individuals in Norman.

Built: 1910-1938

Located between Symmes Street on the north, Classen Avenue on the East and Miller Avenue on the northwest and southeast.

Designated as a historic district in 1997, the area contains approximately 148 residential structures. Faculty members and business leaders mainly lived in these homes, which are widely diverse in appearance. This combination has helped shape Norman into the diverse, unique city it is today.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2014

Your professional dealings will suffer if you allow your personal life to interfere with your productivity. Deal with both equally, but do not mix business with pleasure. The key is to maintain a balance in your life if you want to be successful this year.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is not the day to make promises. Youʼll be confused regarding whatʼs expected of you and whatʼs not. Get clear instructions before starting a new project.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An indirect proposal will prove to be very intriguing. Follow your instincts, and get the particulars from someone who is knowledgeable in a fi eld that interests you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make sure that the attention you give to a new acquaintance doesnʼt cause a problem with a friend or loved one. An innocent gesture will lead to an unsettling disagreement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Trouble is brewing behind the scenes. If you are at all doubtful regarding a personʼs intentions, refuse to get involved. A snap judgment could cause trouble and be costly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Join an organization that appreciates what you have to offer. A partnership will develop from a mutual desire to get involved in a worthy cause or take on a new project.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --Donʼt fall for someoneʼs sob story. You will end up in a worse predicament if you hand your hard-earned cash to a schemer. Offer advice, not money.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make sure your feelings are reciprocated before making any romantic announcements. Itʼs likely that your love interest isnʼt ready to settle down. Get to know each other better before you make any rash utterances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Do your best to conceal your plans. Someone is likely to take credit for your ideas if you are too open. Listen and observe, and you will discover ulterior motives.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Join forces with someone who can help you achieve your goals. Having a partner will cut your workload in half. You will make substantial progress working as a team.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Speak up, or someone will expect you to be a follower. Make it known that you intend to forge your own path. Your original approach will draw the attention of someone infl uential.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - You are well-equipped to handle anything that comes your way. Communication and travel will fi gure prominently in your schedule. Spend your time wisely and make the most of your day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is the time to invest, not spend. Sound economic advice will enable you to add to your fi nances. Put quality over quantity and avoid lavish expenditures.

Instructions:Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.

TAMMY BOYDLife and Arts Reporter

Finally, a movie adaptation of a book that got it right, in both form and substance.

As most avid readers will tell you, Hollywood has a rare and unparalleled gift for blaspheming a great book with a ter-rible movie. The dialogue in the movies doesn’t have to be a word-for-word copy from the book, but couldn’t the screen-writers at least get the emotion right? How about getting the sequence of events in the right order?

Don’t even get me started on the blatant profiteering behind splitting one book into two or more movies.

Mercifully, “The Fault in Our Stars” is a welcome departure from this trend. Partly because there is no dystopian world that must be rendered in computer graphics, partly because the book by John Green is tremendously movie friendly but most-ly because the filmmakers had sense enough not to mess with a good thing. This movie combines the best of slavish-ly-adhering-to-the-book adaptation (the first “Harry Potter” or “Hunger Games”

movie) with totally-nailed-the-spirit-of-the-story adaptation (“The Godfather” or “A Clockwork Orange”).

The beauty of both the book and the movie is how well both captured the strength and the bravery of Hazel and Gus, who make the decision to live and, more importantly, to love, even in the face of death. No matter what your favorite part of the book is, it is all there in the movie. So are all the gut-wrenching, sob-inducing moments.

In fact, there really were only two in-stances where the movie diverged from the book. Both were confrontations between the main characters and their parents, and both were relatively minor. The downplay and omission of these two scenes did noth-ing to minimize the relationships Gus and Hazel had with their respective parents (although Gus’s family is relatively absent in the movie), nor did they diminish the anguish of being a parent who’s watching your child die. Or the injustice of being the child who is dying.

Shailene Woodley is amazing at play-ing the part of Hazel Grace Lancaster,

Overall rating out of five stars:

but Ansel Elgort was simply born to play Augustus Waters. Whether it was brilliant casting, brilliant directing, brilliant acting or some mystical combination thereof, I don’t know. Nor do I particularly care. But Elgort’s ability to completely inhabit the role of Augustus is uncanny. And the chemistry between Woodley and Elgort is perfect. The great love story from the novel remains intact in the movie.

So book lovers, rejoice! There is final-ly a movie you can see and enjoy without leaving the theater fuming at Hollywood for mangling yet another treasured story. For anyone who has not done so yet, go see “The Fault in Our Stars.” You won’t be disappointed.
