The Student Government Association president and vice president are working this semester to create a dialogue be-tween students and SGA, while continuing to work on their other causes, such as scholarship funding and volunteerism.
President Ernest Ezuego and Vice President Madeline Grunewald plan to create a new online forum for students
to voice their ideas, concerns and solutions for campus di-rectly to SGA and the administration, Ezuego said.
The new program is tentatively called Engage OU, an online platform with a range of topics where students can provide feedback, leave messages, participate in polls and more, Ezuego said.
“Basically, it seems to be a forum for people to discuss with the SGA things they want to change,” Ezuego said. “There is no set date for its completion, however.”
Additionally, Grunewald advocated for more communi-ty service involvement in her campaign and partnered with OU’s Leadership Development and Volunteerism office for events such as the Sooner Service Saturdays and Gov. Mary
Fallin’s Bedlam Food Drive Challenge, Grunewald said.There will be more community service events planned
throughout the spring semester, such as hosting a lobbying conference called Big 12 on the Hill.
Big 12 on the Hill will coordinate a lobbying effort be-tween all the Big 12 schools at Washington, D.C., Ezeugo said.
One of the major parts of Ezeugo and Grunewald’s cam-paign last semester was increasing scholarship revenue to fight the rising costs of higher education, which they will continue that mission this semester, Ezeugo said.
Online platform allows students to give feedback on changes they want to see

A student star t ing his first semester as a secondary so-
cial studies education major walked into a class of 100 people, looked around and only saw three other males.
Until recently, Jeffrey Moeder was an account-ing senior. Males made up 63 percent of the Michael F. Price College of Business, so males and females were al-most always equally repre-sented in his classes.
When he walked into this education class, the gender divide was apparent.
“It was kind of strange at first. I had always heard there was a gender divide, but I didn’t realize how se-vere it was,” Moeder said.
In fall 2012, less than one-fourth of Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education stu-dents were male, according to the 2013 OU Factbook. This compares to a total campus enrollment in fall 2012 that was nearly split down the middle with 50.7 p e rc e n t m a l e a n d 4 9 . 3
Annual ball needs volunteers
The Women’s Outreach Center is seeking volunteers for the 10th Annual Pink and Black Ball to bene� t the � ght against breast cancer.
Student volunteers are needed to table in Oklahoma Memorial Union to spread breast health awareness and sell both admission and raf� e tickets for the Pink and Black Ball, said Melanie Adams, Women’s Outreach Center program coordinator. Students can email the Women’s Outreach Center with the dates and times they are available.
Tables will be set up in various locations in Oklahoma Memorial Union every Tuesday and Wednesday from noon to 2:00 p.m., Adams said.
Presale tickets for the event are $15 and $20 at the door Feb. 8 from 8 p.m. to midnight in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Molly Shi Boren Ballroom.
All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to breast health, Adams said.

A free, beginning Chinese language course taught by a Beijing professor through the Confucius Institute is open for enrollment through Feb. 4.
Responding to student feedback, the Confucius Institute opted to offer the non-credit, spoken Mandarin Chinese course for free to the public, director Sharon Gou said.
“We’re just going to try it to see if we can have more students by not charging the fee,” Gou said.
This Chinese course prepares students with no prior experience to pro-ficiently engage in informal conversations on a variety of topics, accord-ing to a mass email.
The textbooks will also be provided for free, course instructor Fengzhen Yang said.
Yang wants to give students a taste of Chinese culture in the courses, she said.
“If (students) have a chance to study in China, they will be prepared for their future study,“ Yang said.
Yang recently transferred from Beijing Normal University and will stay in Oklahoma for the next three years. She will continue teaching the course’s second level in the fall semester, she said.
Every semester the institute has offered courses to teach Oklahomans Chinese language and culture, Gou said.
In addition to language courses, the institute offers scholarship and study abroad opportunities. Last year, 17 students traveled to study in China for up to a year on Confucius Institute scholarships, Gou said.
Yang’s Mandarin Chinese course is open to the public and will meet from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Request a registration form by sending an email to [email protected] or calling 405-325-0208 before the first class on Feb 4.

Substantially more women than men major in education
percent female students.Other students have no-
ticed the divide as well, like early education senior Abby Sonnefeld.
“I am a senior … so my classes are relatively small.
But there’s 15 of us in my section of peers, and there’s one male,” said Sonnefeld.
Sonnefeld thinks the reason for the drastic divi-sion is a phenomenon that stretches farther than the
OU campus.“Women, I think, are
viewed as more nurturing than men, so I think that’s why they might dominate the profession now,” she said. “I think it’s a gender
role and societal issue more than men just (not wanting) to be teachers.”
Moeder also believes the difference is attributed to gender roles.

Donor, supporter dies at 96
Leading OU supporter and donor Henry Zarrow died in Tulsa on Saturday night.
Zarrow, 96, supported many OU programs, including the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, according to the press release.
The Zarrow Foundation also donated the lead gift for the construction of Zarrow Hall, which houses OU’s social work program, according to a press release.
“We have lost a giant,” OU President David Boren said in the press release. “Henry Zarrow’s generosity had no limits. Through his care for others, he taught us all how to live.”

He said it might have to do with the societal expectation for men to be the major provider in a relationship, which wouldn’t work with a teacher’s low pay.
However, College of Education dean Gregg Garn attri-butes the divide to many factors, including the historical female dominance in the profession setting expectations for today’s students, as well as OU’s numerous major options.
Whatever the cause, the gender divide in the College of Education is the largest of all predominantly female col-leges at OU, which may contribute to the college’s unique learning environment students have noticed.
Though unsure whether his perceptions were a result of the gender make-up of his classes, Moeder felt that his college of education classes were very collaborative, rather than competitive like his previous accounting classes.
“People were much more interested in helping others out,” he said.
Sonnefeld praised the collaborative nature of the class-es as well. She said because the classes were mostly com-prised of women, they were more emotional and pushed
the students to “feed off each other’s energy.”“It’s created a group of friends, like a network, that I don’t
necessarily know would have happened with other ma-jors,” she said.
Garn believes seeking diverse classroom environments is key to “strengthening” the college, as it gives students the chance to collaborate with people who come from differ-ent backgrounds and perspectives.
He said the college has discussed seeking wider diversi-ty by communicating with student groups, or connecting successful education students with undecided students in order to provide “a better, clearer face” on what it means to be an education major.
Garn is seeking more than a fixed number of students in standard diversity categories, though. He said he is keen to find students with extraordinary passion and “great talent.”
“If we could have a better balance (of gender), that would be perfect, but I think … it’s even more important that we just get high quality people.”

EDUCATION: Historical dominance a factor in gapContinued from page 1
ILLUSTRATION BY TAYLOR BOLTON
“So what’s your major, and why did you choose it? What do you plan on doing after you graduate?” How many times have you been bombarded with these questions? And how many times have you given a completely arbitrary answer to save face because you’re about as close to knowing the answer as you are to figuring out who John Galt is?
Excluding the minority of students who are fortunate enough to know which ca-reer they want to pursue before or at the start of college, I posit that most students get to college, choose something seem-ingly lucrative they don’t necessarily hate and, just like that, their fate is sealed.
Ironically enough, it seems as though more and more students graduate with de-grees in something completely unrelated to their occupation.
Take, for instance, psychology majors: only 25 percent of psychology baccalau-reate recipients continue on to graduate school—a fundamental prerequisite for nearly any job in the field of psychology. This helps explain the bleak 19.5 percent of undergraduate clinical psychology graduates who are unemployed.
It’s completely understandable for stu-dents to choose not to proceed to grad-uate school. After all, who wants to take out even more student loans, thus dig-ging an even bigger hole of debt to pay off once they finish graduate school? It’s
ironic, considering we go to college to get good jobs to make money, which we then owe. So, why is it, then, that psychology is ranked No. 2 on The Princeton Review’s list of the top 10 college majors?
I have two theories: First, students choose psychology because they find it genuinely interesting and figure they’ll deal with the prospect of graduate school when the time comes. Second, because they want to get a bachelor’s degree in something, regardless of whether it has any connection to their future career, and decide that psychology would at least provide them with pertinent knowledge of themselves and everyone else, while simultaneously being just as good as any other major.
This begs the question: Does it even matter what you choose to major in? Wouldn’t it just be easier to choose a major that would seem to offer the most lucrative career options and go from there?
To be fair, this dilemma is not exclusive to psychology majors, but to students in several other disciplines.
Consider music majors or journalism majors for that matter. We’ve all heard the perpetual warnings that careers in those fields are not only limited and highly com-petitive but aren’t as lucrative as a job in engineering, for example, would be.
However, times have changed, and job security is not certain in any line of work, whether it’s high paying or not.
So what exactly should you consider when choosing a college major, better yet, the right college major?

EDITORIAL
It’s all-or-none on Capitol groundsOur View: All religions should be represented on state Capitol grounds now that the Ten Commandments statue has been erected.
Who wouldn’t want to sit on the lap of a gigantic statue of Satan at their state Capitol? That dream soon may become a reality in Oklahoma after a Satanist group revealed plans earlier this month to place a 7-foot-tall stat-ue of the devil on the lawn of the Capitol in Oklahoma City.
In all seriousness, we should be no more as-tonished by the Satanic Temple’s proposal than by the shiny new Ten Commandments mon-ument placed at the state Capitol in 2012.
We believe that be-cause the state gov-ernment already has opened the door to re-ligion, it should allow all religions to be rep-resented at the Capitol, whether they are Satanist or not.
The separation of church and state is a fundamental value of the U.S. government. It’s right there in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an es-tablishment of religion, or prohibiting the free ex-ercise thereof …”
Yes, the words “separation of church and state” do not appear verbatim in the Constitution. However, anyone with a basic understanding of the Founding
Fathers knows they did not intend the U.S. to be a Christian nation.
As products of the Enlightenment in the 18th cen-tury, the Founding Fathers were skeptical, logical men who struck against concentrated central au-
thority and chose to omit any reference to God in the Constitution.
Oklahoma residents should be enraged that our state govern-
ment allowed a monument to the Ten Commandments to
be erected at the Capitol. Placing a physical testa-ment to Judeo-Christian values on government property tangibly and ob-viously violates the sep-aration between church and state.
The lack of statues or tokens for other world religions at the Capitol suggests that the Ten Commandments mon-ument is an endorse-ment of religious be-liefs by Oklahoma’s
government.Assuming any one religion fair-
ly represents Americans and
Oklahomans is close-minded, illog-ical and ignorant. At a university like OU,
which includes exten-sive reciprocal study abroad programs, we see and interact with
members of countless faiths on a daily basis.
As such, it is only right that if the Oklahoma state government is going to allow Christians and Jews to be represented at the Capitol, it allows other
religions to be celebrated as well — including Satanism.
The New York group that proposed the statue of Baphomet, a goat-headed representation of Satan, hopes the monument will “be a historical marker commemorating the scapegoats, the marginalized, the demonized minority and the unjustly outcast,” according to a prepared statement in a CNN article.
Logically, why shouldn’t the statue be included alongside the Ten Commandments? If our state government is open to mixing politics and religion, we should be able to see more than one theology represented.
The state also has received requests for mon-uments from Hindus and the satirical religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We say, the more the merrier! While one monument to one religion makes the Oklahoma Capitol look bi-ased, a garden of statues to vari-ous world religions would pres-
ent an air of acceptance and open-mindedness.Unfortunately, it is unlikely we will see any
new religious monuments in the near future. The Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Committee has said all further statue proposals are on hold until a lawsuit over the Ten Commandments monuments is settled, according to the CNN article.
Both American Atheists Inc. and the American Civil Liberties Union are suing to have the Ten Commandments removed, citing it represents gov-ernmental endorsement of religion.
While it might be a fun tourist attraction to have dozens of religious statues littered around the state Capitol, we hope that the ACLU will prevail and the Ten Commandments will be taken down.
There are enough issues for Oklahoma to focus on, such as improving education standards, without the distraction of religious monuments. The state government should keep church and state separate and focus on creating legislation that will actually benefit the majority of Oklahomans.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
New band director destroyed established pre-game routine
When Brian Britt gathered the Pride of Oklahoma around the ladder early and announced his imminent retirement last fall, it hit deep. The man was and always will be a father figure to every one of his students. The Pride
didn’t know who would come next, but we had an idea that it’d be the then-assistant director of the Pride. Imagine our surprise when a dark horse candidate appeared to fill the position.
Fast forward through spring and summer 2013: There’s ru-mors and snippets floating around about the new band direc-tor, but nobody can confirm anything because of a crippling lack of communication. Despite the uncertainty, many Pride members were optimistic and were looking forward to chang-es and a new season.
The Pride met before the regular school session to work out who makes the band, to condition, dust off our skills and get the wheel on a major campus organization rolling again. The summer ’13 camp greeted all of us with rain all week, in addi-tion to a man in a visor and a new way of doing things. High-step marching reminiscent of the 1980s (and Wisconsin’s band) led the charge, described by roughly three people as “exciting,” despite the obvious tradeoff in musicality of the band. Dance steps, straight line field drill and musical arrangements followed the “new style” (all of which are found in the Badger Band).
What Justin Stolarik failed to realize is that his band expected more: not more “showmanship,” but better results than what made it to the field this season. On Labor Day, more than 100 members of the Pride met with demands to improve the band. When placated by university officials with the promise of change, this passion and drive dissipated, surfacing again only when most of the tuba section boycotted re-hearsal. He didn’t want better cheese, he wanted different cheese, and while it may smell good to him, to us it’s rotten.
Stolarik may have “a greater vision that has to move in small steps,” but I have found no student who regards whatever steps we’ve taken to have a positive impact on the fans, the students or the staff. Student leadership within the Pride was told expressly that “the average fan enjoyed [the performances].” Frankly, this is in direct conflict with every conversation I’ve ever had with fans. I’ve been approached in my bank, at work, volunteering and even buying groceries and asked what happened to the band this year.
The Pride had a signature: Our pregame routine was essentially unchanged since its inception during the time of Gene “Coach” Thrailkill. That signature changed, not with baby steps, but with a sledgehammer this season. We had something great, rec-ognized nationwide as a top-10 pregame, rich with traditions, familiarity and pride.
Now, we have some cheese. We have a rancid, repulsive and very rotten cheese.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2014
Don’t agree to more than you can manage this year. Focus on whatever will benefi t you most, and delegate everything else. You must be disciplined and dedicated in order to meet your goals. Re-evaluate your plans to make certain that they are realistic.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you stay informed and talk your way through complications, you’ll be able to fi nd solutions to whatever you face. Changes to your home will be benefi cial.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you are feeling run-down, allow yourself some time to rejuvenate. You can start a business partnership with a person who will add value to a project. Take care of yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t be overcome by fi ts of anger. Focus on accomplishing reasonable things that will lead to personal satisfaction. It’s a good day to check things off your list.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’ll have momentum and should be able to complete your agenda. Creativity will lead to all sorts of interesting new projects. Love is on the rise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may need to walk on eggshells, or you could end up in an argument with someone at home. Hold off on talks until late in the day to increase the likelihood of a more favorable outcome.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Heed the advice of others and you will discover all sorts of salient details. Catch up on your emails. A relationship can thrive if you put in the hours.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Learn from experience, especially when there is money involved. You can improve your fi nancial future if you take a direction that you’ve wanted to pursue for some time.

are your hydration levels OK?
Taylor BolTon/The Daily
A hydration color chart is taped above a urinal in the men’s restroom in Gaylord Hall. Hydration color charts like this one have been placed inside Gaylord Hall restrooms and allow students, faculty and staff to determine their level of hydration based on the color of their urine.
Chart says lighter urine is healthiest
Ethan KochCampus Reporter @sportsmaestroOU
PaightEn harKinsCampus Editor @PaightenHarkins
Students in Gaylord Hall may not be keeping them-selves hydrated, and the as-sistant dean of the college wants to change that.
To combat the issue, a se-ries of hydration color charts now line the Gaylord Hall restrooms. These charts out-line how to determine your level of hydration based on the color of your urine — from pale yellow to red.
The lighter the color, the more hydrated you are, ac-cording to the chart.
J o h n H o c k e t t , a s s i s -tant dean for the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, got the idea for the charts after teaching a Gateway course in the fall, he said in an email.
In the course, Hockett was reminded how important a healthy lifestyle was for stu-dents, and staying hydrated is a big part of that.
“Healthy Sooners are hy-drated Sooners,” he said.
Hockett has a long histo-ry with hydration. In sum-mer 2012, Hockett’s family was a namesake for Camp
Crimson, and one of the mantras of the week was “Hydrate or die,” he said.
The charts have caused some conversation among students and staff who visit Gaylord Hall, with one staff member asking Hockett how he knew Gaylord Hall’s students weren’t hydrated.
“I responded many stu-dents don’t flush the urinals in the men’s restrooms in Gaylord Hall — let’s just say the evidence suggests a less
than hydrated state. Enough said,” he said.
Public relations senior Annahlyse Meyer said she doesn’t need the charts to know when she’s dehy-drated, but that could be because she’s a certified nurse’s aid.
For the rest of the Gaylord Hall students, the charts may be beneficial since they don’t have the same medi-cal background, she said.
Regardless, Meyer said
the signs were probably not needed since most peo-ple can tell when they’re dehydrated.
“( The signs) are well placed for what they are but unnecessary,” Meyer said.

SGa: Members raised $1.5M in scholarship fundsContinued from page 1
Last semester, Ezuego and other members of SGA collect-ed $1.5 million in additional scholarship funding since the fall, he said.
“As the first administration to take on such a task in recent history, I’m glad that we have set the bar high,” Ezuego said.
Ezeugo said SGA members will continue collecting money through options like scholarship funds and taking suggestions from the scholarship task force, he said.
Ezuego and Grunewald will also participate in Higher Education Month activities in February. The goal is to get students talking about the changes in higher education funding and on Feb. 11, students will be able to lobby for change, Ezeugo said.

At the end of 2013, A Great Big World seemed like it was
destined to be the next big thing. Out of nowhere, these two plucky musicians from New York City were thrusted into the mainstream based on the success of their soul-ful hit, “Say Something.”
On that track, singer and pianist Ian Axel croons “Say
something, I’m giving up on you,” and “I’ll be the one, if you want me to.” His vocal performance is subdued and quietly painful, reflecting the genuine hurt in the lyrics about a rela-tionship gone south. Add a powerhouse guest performance from Christina Aguilera, and you have one of the most hauntingly beautiful ballads in recent memory.
All of this makes it an even bigger shame that A Great Big World’s debut disc “Is There Anybody Out There?” is de-cidedly lackluster. Which is not to say that there is anything particularly awful about the disc. It is just another indie-pop record from a group that is likely to be just another face in the crowd.
Tracks like “I Really Want It” and “This Is The New Year” are jaunty numbers with lyrics like “be everything you al-ways wanted” and “if there is a maker up above, then why is nobody listening?”
But it really all goes in one ear and out the other as forget-table pop-rock. And the further you get into the album, the
more it all starts to sound eerily familiar — like the big-ger (and better) musicians and bands that A Great Big World so blatantly attempts to imitate.
You can catch glimps-es of Fun. in the roaring “Rockstar.” In fact, “Is There Anybody Out There?” almost feels like an album of out-takes from Fun.’s, first album, “Aim and Ignite.”
Though A Great Big World has a lot of work to do if it wants to make a voice for itself, there are still hints of greatness present.
Even if this debut is a bit on the bland side, it will be interesting to see where A Great Big World goes from here. They have nice voices and inject a certain show-manship into a few of their
standout tracks. They just need to figure out what it is they possess that makes them stand out from the other groups waiting for their 15 minutes.

Even if most new and returning shows air in the fall, this winter is looking to be one killer season
for television. The coming months will see the return of hotly anticipated pro-gramming, such as “Downton Abbey” and “Girls.” But along for the ride are some new shows with some heavy buzz, among them crime drama “True Detective,” law comedy “Rake” and pirate drama “Black Sails.” To help lead you through the busy television season, here is your guide for what return-ing shows to binge on and what debuting shows you need to check out.
New Programming:True Detective — What it’s about: Using multiple
timelines, “True Detective” follows two cops (Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson) on their hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana that spans seventeen years. Why you should check it out: Do I really have to explain it? It stars two of the most compelling film actors working today in a gritty crime drama on HBO. And judging from the stel-lar premiere, “True Detective” is already gearing up to be one of the best dramas on television.
“True Detective” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on HBO.
About a Boy — What it’s about: Based on the 1998 novel and 2002 film of the same name, “About a Boy” is the story of a successful bachelor songwriter who finds his world turned up-side down when a single mother and her 11-year-old son move in next door. Why you should check it out: Even if the premise sounds a bit trite, the source mate-rial is anything but. Add to it that it is from the mind of “Parenthood” creator Jason Katmis, and “About a Boy” may just be the breakout hit of the season.
A special premiere of “About a Boy” is set to air Feb. 22 at 10 p.m., following the Olympics on NBC.
Crisis — What it’s about: “Crisis” follows a rogue group that kidnaps a busload of kids with powerful parents, among them CEO Meg Fitch (Gillian Anderson), ex-CIA analyst Thomas Gibson (Dermot Mulroney), and the pres-ident. Why you should check it out: The fact that Gillian Anderson (Scully!) is back on network television should be enough to make you tune in. Also, early reviews of the first few episodes have been overwhelmingly positive, with many comparing it to noteworthy shows such as “Homeland” and “Scandal.”
“Crisis” is set to air March 16 at 9 p.m. on NBC.Looking — What it’s about: “Looking” is a come-
dy-drama that follows a group of gay friends living in San Francisco navigating the perils of modern dating. Why you should check it out: It is like “Queer As Folk” for a new gen-eration, just fewer stereotypes. With the always charming
[‘Looking’] is like ‘Queer As Folk’ for a new generation, just fewer stereotypes.”

Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey), left, and Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly), right, discuss a news article in the Netflix original series “House of Cards.” The show will return for its second season on Feb. 14.
Jonathan Groff as the lead, “Looking” makes for surprisingly funny and heart-tug-ging television.
“Looking” airs Sundays at 9:30 p.m. on HBO.
The Red Road — What it’s about: Set in a small Native American community, “The Red Road” tells the story of a criminal leader who sets up an illegal agreement between a compromised local cop trying to protect his wife from a tragedy that involved her. Why you should check it out: “The
Red Road” boasts an incredible cast from Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo in “Game of Thrones”) to Julianne Nicholson (“August: Osage County”). Also worth noting is the fact that the Sundance channel has had a pretty spectacular track record with original programming as of late. “Top of the Lake” and “Rectify” were both spectacular television shows, and “The Red Road” looks on par.
“The Red Road” premieres Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. on Sundance.
Returning:House of Cards — What it’s about: “House of Cards” tells
the story of House Majority Whip Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) who, after getting passed over for appointment as Secretary of State, sets out to exact revenge on those who betrayed him. Why you should catch up: “House of Cards” plays like a more serious version of “Scandal” but is just as addicting and entertaining. It says a lot about the cast when Spacey is not even the best actor on the show. Robin Wright, Corey Stoll and Kate Mara add to the show’s con-siderable prestige. How much to get caught up: One season of thirteen episodes.
The whole second season will be available for streaming Feb. 14 on Netflix.

Both teams have struggled in Big 12 play, need to win JOE MUSSATTOAssistant Sports Editor@joe_mussatto
C o a c h Sh e r r i C o a l e’s Sooners have been looking to catch a breath during the early goings of their confer-ence schedule, but an easi-er future doesn’t look to be on the horizon as the team heads to Ames, Iowa, for a tough Tuesday night test.
Oklahoma (11-7, 2-3 Big 12) has stumbled out of the conference gate and has dropped three of its last four games. Iowa State — OU’s opponent on Tuesday — dealt the squad one of these losses. The Cyclones upend-ed the Sooners in overtime, 82-75, on Jan. 5.
But like OU, Iowa State has been a recent victim of the brutish Big 12 sched-ule. The Cyclones, after 14 straight wins to start the sea-son, have lost three straight in a row — all in conference.
Tuesday’s matchup will present both sides with the opportunity of stopping or accelerating their skid down the conference standings.
For Oklahoma, picked preseason to win the Big 12, amassing more losses could soon put the Sooners’ b i d f o r a n o t h e r N C A A Tournament appearance in
doub and Coale’s 14 consec-utive trips to the Big Dance in jeopardy.
All potential panic in Sooner Nation may be di-minished if OU knocks off the 20th ranked Cyclones. A victory in Ames could catapult the Sooners back toward the top of the con-ference — a place Coale’s squads often reside.
As the Sooners have done all year, the team will rely on its veteran leaders. Of the squad’s top-four point
producers, three are seniors — Aaryn Ellenberg, Morgan Hook and Nicole Griffin.
Senior leadership is often a key component of winning on the road, something the squad has accomplished just twice in six tries.
OU had Iowa State nearly beaten just over two weeks ago, and Coale was blunt in recounting how her team fell.
“I just thought their play-ers were making plays,” she said after the loss. “We knew
what they were going to do, and we didn’t respond to it very well.”
A better response is ex-pected if the Sooners are to regain their footing in the conference standings and upend a ranked opponent for the first time this season.
The game will tip-off at 6 p.m. today at the Hilton Coliseum.

The Oklahoma men’s tennis team will begin its season at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Gregg Wadley Indoor Tennis Pavilion in Norman, where they will host Wichita State.
Ranked preseason No. 10, the Sooners look to extend their streak of two consecutive Big 12 championships to three by starting off the season strong against the Shockers.
The Sooners are carried by some of the top collegiate tennis players in the country. The team is lead by senior Guillermo Alcorta and sophomore Axel Alvarez Llamas, the No. 5 and No. 6 players in the nation, respectively.
Coach John Roddick’s squad also touts one of the top freshmen in the nation, Aussie Andrew Harris. The su-per-frosh is ranked No. 37 in the nation according to the ITA Top 125 Men’s Singles rankings. Harris will also team up with junior, Dane Webb, for doubles matches, where they are ranked No. 18 in the preseason.
The Wichita State Shockers come into Norman hoping to rebound from a 4-0 loss to No. 25 Tulsa on Friday. They are 2-1 this season and hope to build on their win total against the Sooners. For the season, they are 36-27 in singles com-petition and 12-10 in doubles competition.
Their two best singles players, Tin Ostojic and Ilija Cuic, also pair up to make a lethal duo in doubles competition. They come into the match in Norman with a combined 5-3 doubles record.
Wichita State coach Brad Louderback’s team hopes to have more success this year in Norman. The two trips his team made last year resulted in losses. The first came on Jan. 22, and the Sooners won 7-0. The second came in May, when the two teams met during the NCAA Championships. The Sooners walked away with a 4-1 vic-tory in that matchup.
The Sooners will once again be favored going into this match, but Wichita State athletics has been known to sur-prise people. Their men’s basketball team shocked the world last year when it danced its way through the NCAA tournament and into the Final Four.
Tuesday’s match kicks off a busy week for the high-rank-ing Sooners. They will host the ITA Kick Off this weekend in Norman. The ITA, which is the governing body of col-legiate tennis, holds a kick off weekend for the spring sea-son at 15 different college campuses around the nation. OU will host three other schools this weekend, which in-clude Tulsa, Northwestern and Virginia Tech.
