U n i v e r s i t y C o l l e g e freshman Paige Briscoe always has her nose in textbooks, but the de-mands of college have her envious of students who seem to manage so effortlessly.

“I don’t go out and am always working, yet I still feel stressed out about all of my classes,” Briscoe said. “I don’t know how some people are doing it.”

But Briscoe is not the only college freshman feeling added pressure.

Almost half of fresh-man college students are feeling the strain of uni-versity life and perceive their health to be average or below average com-pared with their peers, according to a recent study.

Of the students who p a r t i c i p a t e d i n t h e University of California’s H i g h e r E d u c a t i o n Institute study, 51.4 per-cent said their health was above average or in the top-10 percent compared with their peers.

This is a 3-percent de-crease since 2005, ac-cording to the report.

Some students at OU link their personal health issues to overwhelming classes, time manage-ment or not know ing what teachers expect.

Briscoe said the tran-sition from a small town and high school has con-tributed to her stress.

U n i v e r s i t y C o l l e g e freshman Vanessa Ochoa said dealing with time management is the main reason she feels stressed.

“There isn’t enough time to get everything done,” said Ochoa, who stays up late working on homework and has to wake up early for Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.

According to the study, 9.7 percent of U.S. fresh-men said there was a very good chance they would seek personal counseling,

OU static on e-book learning materials

UNy chaNCampus Reporter

The Kindle Fire recorded 95,000 orders the first day of sales on Sept. 28, according to marketing firm eDataSource, but the iPad challenger is not prompting OU to increase its use of e-academics.

It is still early to speculate if the sales of Kindle Fire will surpass the iPad’s, but wheth-er Bizzell Memorial Library will purchase more e-books is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, said Karen Rupp-Serrano, collection devel-opment officer at University Libraries.

Currently, e-borrowing from the library is still PDF- or ebrary.com-based, which are not customized for any

electronic reader or tablet.University libraries have

recorded an increasing number of students using e-books in the past few years, but further successes are at the mercy of the publisher, said Sarah Robbins, direc-tor of strategic initiatives at University Libraries.

“We can’t just use [an] e-book aggregator and convert all the books by ourselves,” Robbins said. “Whether Kindle Fire or iPad 2 would allow more students to access e-learning materials depends on the copyright owner.”

Books offered online are carefully selected.

“We tend to buy e-books in the subjects that the uni-versity offers at a distance,” Rupp-Serrano said. “On the other hand, we also evaluate factors such as whether the

Campus libraries offer books in PDF format to students

publisher offers a discount for e-books. This is important when book price has been in-creasing over time, and our traditional book purchase has decreased as a result.”

E-books also are more suitable for a public library, where people would check out a book on a Kindle and read it at their pleasure, Rupp-Serrano said. For an academic library like Bizzell, most users still prefer to read a hard copy so they can ref-erence from different pages quickly.

OU may not offer e-reader accessibility, but it does offer students mobile options.

Blackboard Commerce, the education software com-pany that also provides the Sooner OneCard online management system, has provided an iPad application parallel to OU’s Desire2Learn system.

OU provides the OU4YOU app for iPhone users only. This app allows students

to check a campus map, C l e v e l a n d A r e a R a p i d Transit’s service update and renew library books, but it does not support any class-room management func-tion. Course content on D2L still needs to be accessed via computers.

Management information systems professor Nathan Stout said he remains neutral about tablet’s impact.

“Economics aren’t every-thing. If we reduce the cost of a TV, would they buy more? Yes, but would they use them in the classroom? I doubt it,” Stout said. “Functionality and ease of use — two key fea-tures to adoption of technol-ogy — should be considered

when prognosticating about the future of [Information Technology].”

Stout is known for his elec-tronic teaching method for his MIS 2113 class, in which he uses an e-book that he can highlight and put notes in. He also records videos for students to review the use of Microsoft Access and Excel after regular class hours.

However, Stout said e-books cannot replace the traditional textbook because students can’t sell them back, though the e-book cost is typ-ically lower than the hard-copy cost minus the buy-back value.

Portable devices such as e-readers or tablets have their

place, but OU may have to wait a bit to make the switch.

“Attendance checking or other in-class activities would be really great using any por-table devices, but we’ll have to wait until there are apps that span all platforms that are instructor friendly and have a very low cost,” Stout said.

“If apps that are appropri-ate for the classroom are cre-ated at an economical price, there would be some benefit and usage,” he said. “Most would agree there could be an increase in communica-tion, which would in turn benefit the university.”

norman weather center extends research to Indian ocean island

Rachel TeRRyContributing Reporter

The National Weather Center in Norman is extend-ing its research and mobile capability more than 9,000 miles to an island in the Indian Ocean.

T h e A t m o s p h e r i c Radiation Measurement Data Quality Office, located in the weather center, has added a mobile facility on Gan Island in the Maldives to collect data on atmospheric anomalies.

The Gan Island research project is associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation Investigation, now called AMIE-Gan.

AMIE-Gan measures the area where the Madden-Julian Oscillation — a 30- to 60-day wave — begins east-ward by observing the atmo-sphere, ocean and air-sea interface, according to the office website. A combina-tion of radars, satellites and atmospheric soundings pro-duces data that researchers can use to identify deficien-cies in climate models and improve prediction abilities.

“ F r o m t h e N a t i o n a l Weather Center, [ARM] has special connections that

allow us to view private data on the servers that users from other IP addresses cannot do,” said Brandon Sullivan, data analyst for the office. “Also from the NWC, we hold conference calls and meet-ings with site scientists and team members all over the

world, from both our offices and conference rooms.”

For the National Weather Center and ARM, the project will help researchers to fur-ther monitor the tropics to the mid-latitudes.

ARM currently has three stationary sites around the

world: in the north slopes of Alaska, the southern Great Plains and the tropical Western Pacific. With exist-ing mobile sites already set up, the Gan Island location will help researchers to fur-ther explore the MJO.

“Each site has its own

collection and Internet sys-tem,” Sullivan said. “That connection allows data to be uploaded to a central server. That way us analysts actually can work from any location.”

The research project will continue through March 2012.

Facility will study weather anomalies in the Maldives

OU Health Services and Women’s Outreach Center will join forces with Health Huts from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 18 and 19, as well as Oct. 25 and 26.

The huts, which will be lo-cated on the South Oval, will give students the opportu-nity to ask questions and re-ceive breast health tips.

Students should routinely check for signs of breast can-cer, said Maggie Pool, assis-tant director for clinical ser-vices for OU Health Services.

“Every woman, at least starting probably (age) 18 and above, needs to do a clin-ical breast exam every year,” Pool said. “What I mean by clinical is that a doctor is ac-tually going to do it, and most of the time that corresponds with a woman’s annual exam or their pap smear.”

yearly check-up, Pool ad-vises women to do monthly self-examinations.

“There’s no specific guide-lines anymore for how often you should do a self-breast exam, but most physicians will tell you go ahead and do once a month,” Pool said.

It is important to do self-examinations the same time each month so they do not coincide with menstrual cy-cles, Pool said.

The American Cancer Society estimates about 2 3 0 , 0 0 0 d i a g n o s e s a n d 39,000 deaths due to breast cancer in 2011.

Tips for decreasing breast cancer chances include

maintaining a healthy weight, exercising and limiting alco-hol intake and postmeno-pausal hormone use, accord-ing to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The organiza-tion also encourages breast-feeding if possible.

Though October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, Pool said breast cancer is a year-round issue.

“It’s not that we shouldn’t be doing this all year long, but there’s so many different health issues for men and women and for the campus that sometimes it’s nice just to be able to raise awareness during a specific month,” Pool said.

Tanning bed use banned for underage people starting 2012

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California girls who dream about sun-kissed skin wil l have to wait until they turn 18 before they can get the effect from tanning beds under a new first-in-the-nation law.

Gov. Jerry Brown an-nounced Sunday that he had signed into law a bill that prevents children under 18 from using the popular tanning method. The law takes effect at the start of next year.

Although Texas has banned the use of tan-ning beds for children under 16, the bill makes California the first state to set a higher age limit.

Thirty other states also have some age restric-tions on the books, said the bill’s author, state Sen. Ted Lieu.

Un d e r c u r re nt l aw , children 14 and under in California cannot use the beds, but those ages 15 to 17 can do so with permis-sion from their parents. Illinois, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island have considered an age limit similar to California’s but have yet to enact them, said the Democrat from Torrance, Calif.

Our View: Physical books pave the way to learning, but e-books pave the way to a well-stocked wallet.

Let’s face it: e-books are the next big thing. We know many of you are filled with the deepest ire just hearing that statement, ready to expound the virtues of physical books. Maybe its that new book smell, or the satisfaction of holding it in your hands and watching the page count dwindle. Maybe its that in-stinctive sense that digital reading somehow doesn’t “count.” We’re not sure exactly, but we share your concerns. On the other hand, the rise of e-books could mean good things for college students.

Put aside your images of rainy days with a good mystery novel and think about textbooks — these are some of the most expensive books available. They are a constant drain on student budgets and can be a serious chiropractic nightmare. But an e-book version would diminish both the price tag and the weight, as well as being conveniently available from anywhere on a tablet, e-reader or smartphone.

Retailers can offer e-books at a lower price because they cut out the cost of production, shipping and stocking. Many textbooks are currently available online or in e-book for-mat, and some students already have started using them instead of physical books. But availability, especially of the most expen-sive science texts, is still limited. OU could do a lot more to encourage the suppliers it buys from to create online versions of their texts. The university bookstore could even devote resources to helping students find e-book versions of their re-quired textbooks.

Professors also can use this new technology to help lessen the financial (and physical) burden on students. When they create their reading lists at the beginning of the year, they could be sure to choose books with a digital version available. And they could be sure to point students in the direction of this version before the year starts and many already

have bought their books. Some professors have hopped on this bandwagon, but it should be a much more widespread practice at OU.

And even outside the realm of textbooks, e-books could improve Sooners’ lives. The Norman Public

Library recently started checking out e-books, but the OU library system hasn’t yet adopted this approach. Not only would this allow students to check out books more easily and carry them around in portable technology, it also would allow OU to make more books available. The lower costs of e-books means OU could widen its selection, even during budget cuts.

Yes, there are limits to this technology. And of course physical textbooks must always remain an option for students without easy access to the Internet, or for those without the financial means to buy a tablet or e-reader who need the book in class. But supporting the option of e-books will cut the monetary burden on students, make textbooks more convenient and greener option and eliminate the worry of leaving behind that one vital textbook.

COLUMN

Don’t fear the preacher

A pastor of a Baptist megachurch, Robert Jeffress, said

Friday that presidential can-didate Mitt Romney, a mem-ber of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is not a Christian and is a mem-ber of a cult.

I’m mildly amused by Jeffress’ remarks, because I see many parallels between his evangelical Christianity and the Latter-day Saints. Both religions have a huge numbers of followers. The Southern Baptist Convention has 16.2 million members, according to the 2009 Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches, while the Mormon church has more than 14 million mem-bers, according to its website. Both religions’ members pro-fess belief in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and both reli-gions emphasize mission work and family.

In fact, under the theological and scholarly definition, cults are merely offshoots of a major religion considered different enough to be in its own category. From some perspectives — and certainly in some historical periods — evangelical Christianity could be viewed as this kind of cult. But Jeffress clearly meant the more popular definition of cult: that of a harmful, manipulative small group based around “crazy” religious beliefs that presents a real danger to its adherents. I certainly wouldn’t claim his beliefs fall under this category, but its equally hard to see how Romney’s do.

I am not amused by the incorrect personal attack on

Romney. As a person of faith, I find Jeffress’ remarks offen-sive. I grew up in an area with a large LDS population, and though I am not a member of the Mormon church, many of my close friends are.

I have a tough time connecting the large, diverse group of Mormons I know with Branch Davidians or Jim Jones’ Kool-Aid-drinking followers. No Mormon I know blindly follows his or her church — at least, no more than any evangelical I know. Just like most Protestant and Catholic churches, the Mormon church has many members who believe what they are told and just as many who decide their beliefs for themselves.

It would be one thing if Jeffress had attacked Romney’s stance on issues, but attacking his faith is as wildly inappro-priate as attacking a candidate’s race or gender. If Romney’s religion informs his views, ask about his views. If Romney’s religion confuses you, ask about his religion.

Romney is open to these questions. “The blessings of faith carry the responsibility of civil and respectful debate,” he said in response to Jeffress’ accusations.

If you have questions about the Mormon faith, I’m sure members of the OU Latter-day Saint Student Association would be willing to discuss their faith if you are willing to con-verse civilly and respectfully.

Baseless accusations and vitriolic speech have no place in our political arena — they only drown out useful debate about policies and positions. If Jeffress insists on contributing to the public political conversation, his future remarks must be factual and respectful.

AT A GLANCE Paper vs. electronic

Fall has come. With it comes cooler temperatures,

falling leaves, and — if last week is any indica-tion — those old friends of the student body: cam-pus preachers. In the last week they’ve reappeared, haunting the area outside Dale Hall, informing us that Satan pursues our souls and that most of us are probably going to hell.

They draw a crowd of people, block the bike lane and are not generally well-liked by the student population. A not insignificant number of students probably wish they weren’t allowed to display this way. They irritate most of us and cause inconvenience and frustration. It’s not even as if these people were members of a student organization or (as far as I know) invited by one. They’re just here, on our campus, adding nothing to it and, in a large sense, detract-ing from it.

But despite how I feel about their actions personally, I’m glad they can do what they do. Freedom of speech does

not exist so that we can express majority opinions, or so that we can express opinions only where nobody will be bothered. Speech is protected even when we may not want to hear it.

In fact, that’s the only time speech needs to be protected. If I take issue with the particulars of a message, it is not for me (or anyone else) to decide that the message ought not to be pre-sented and available in the mar-ketplace of ideas. There are lim-its where speech acts risk spill-ing over to real acts, including hate speech, calls for violence

or (as the Supreme Court has ruled) calls for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Perhaps there are also places where we want to disallow protest or limit them due to practical concerns, such as traffic or safety.

Outside these exceptions, however, all ideas are equally privileged even if we don’t like them. Of course, there is an unspoken social contract here. If a campus preacher is al-lowed to speak, we would also have to allow an atheist, a Muslim, a Jew or a Buddhist the same privilege.

As little as I like the campus preachers, I do appreci-ate one aspect of what they represent: my right to have an opinion and to express that opinion. The forces, laws and freedoms that allow that campus preacher to stay there are the same as those that enabled protestors and reformers throughout American history, as well as civil disobedience from Thoreau to King, from the civil rights movement to today’s protesters on Wall Street. It’s an important part of our national discourse, our heritage and our continued survival as a nation.

The best system is one with a capability for self-correc-tion — when it goes wrong, it can fix itself, like Wolverine. A democracy, ideally, has that capability. If things go wrong, its people can speak, vote and correct it.

I know people who would argue that this isn’t the case in America anymore — that power has become entrenched in so many places and by so much money that voters have little real say in the government. I don’t know whether or not this is true. What I do know is that for it to be false, for we the people to maintain any stake in our government, freedom of speech is the most important right we have.

As long as our opinions can flow, minimally restrained, we have a shot at maintaining the ability to recognize and correct failures or flaws in our democracy. So try not to hate campus preachers too much; they may be irritating as individuals, but as long as they can do what they do — and as long as the rest of us have the ability to counter them if we wish — we’ll be OK.

OPINION COLUMNIST

The Sept. 7 editorial touched on a rela-tively new area the

federal government is tap-ping in to — social media monitoring. Unfortunately, they may have missed the point that this is not some kind of futuristic Orwellian monitoring; rather, it is al-ready occurring as you read these words.

Companies like Radian6 and HootSuite already offer

social media monitoring (aka “listening”) services to busi-nesses. They scan Facebook, Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn and virtually every other corner of the Internet for words per-tinent to their clients.

For example, Coca-Cola Co. could hire Radian6 to monitor its brand name so they can measure the effec-tiveness of a new YouTube advertisement. The applica-tions are endless.

While the U.S. Department of Defense’s adopting this technology raises some new rights-based questions in re-gard to what the government should and should not be allowed to do to monitor its citizens (nearly all defenses against which, by the way, have been eliminated by the so-called “Patriot Act”), the poll question that was posed by The Daily — “Does hav-ing your social media use

watched concern you?” — is not hypothetical.

Keep this in mind the next time you watch a cat video on YouTube, complain about your electric bill on Facebook or spread the good news about a new product via Twitter: Big Brother may not be listening in yet, but Big Business certainly is.

Red River Rivalry weekend ‘priceless’Members of the Pride of Oklahoma march-ing band wave their Sooner spirit as OU fans cheer for the band during Saturday’s Red River Rivalry game in Dallas. The Pride’s halftime show was part of the showing of Sooner pride that turned up for the game during the State Fair of Texas this week-end.

After waking up at 7 a.m. to retrieve my precious game

ticket, freaking out when my sorority house’s Internet couldn’t handle the mass amount of traffic and hav-ing my boyfriend claim my ticket around 7:10 a.m., I was ready to tackle the long weekend of crimson and cream craziness that is OU-Texas.

Because I live in Dallas when I’m not in school, I didn’t have to mess with hotel plans or coordinating a carpool.

The drive actually only took three hours, surpris-ing considering that the Oklahoma Department of Transportation usually has construction going when-ever mass amounts of peo-ple are heading south on Interstate 35.

I’m sure it was just a coincidence.

I spent my Friday of the OU-Texas weekend loung-ing by the pool and taking naps rather than boozing it up and going out.

I’m not really much of a homebody, but after

hearing stories about West End misadventures from my older friends, I decided to avoid the chaos.

I faced the real chaos, however, on my way to the Cotton Bowl on Saturday morning. I left at 7 a.m. — four hours before kickoff — but I didn’t pass through the fair gates until 9. By the time I parked in lot 13, a lot that was literally across a bridge from the fair, and took a tram to the actual fairgrounds, it was 9:30, and I sprinted across the fair to try to catch a view of Lee Corso and College Gameday.

The game itself was both everything I expected it would be and nothing like I expected it would be. I ex-pected us to win, but I still felt a twinge of nervous-ness when I watched Texas’ crappy pump-up video.

For some reason, I for-got there would be more than my fellow students sitting in my section, and I was hit in the head several times when the rather large man behind me waved his arms around whenever we scored. I didn’t expect that.

And surprisingly enough, every Texas fan I encoun-tered was, at the very least, respectful of the Sooner spirit. They made digs about us, but we dug right back and everyone laughed.

No one tried to start any-thing with me just because I wore crimson and cream.

I enjoyed my time at the

State Fair of Texas watch-ing my team pass, run and kick its way to glory eight rows below me, screaming like a maniac while sur-rounded by my best friends. While my bursar account paid handsomely for my four hours of fun, the entire experience was — cheesy enough — priceless.

WALT’S WONDERS By Dennis Mooney10/10

10/9

MONDAY, OCT. 10, 2011

Establishing multiple ambitious objectives will come easy for you in the year ahead, and you stand a good chance of realizing many of your aims. But you’ll have to be careful not to take on more than you can handle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be as cooperative as possible, even if the other guy isn’t. People can be a bit touchy, so tactful handling of all your important one-on-one relationships is essential.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Co-workers or helpmates could unintention-ally cause problems for you. Thus, if it is at all feasible, do as much as you can on your own, rejecting all offers of help.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It’s always important to be extremely selective in whom you place your trust, but it is especially vital that you plan wisely when fi nances are involved. A bum choice could be costly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Stifl e any disagreement that pops up between you and your mate as promptly as possible. If you don’t, things could grow out of proportion and turn into a real fi ght.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s likely to be very diffi cult for you to quell your temper if someone should irritate you, so be on guard. A lack of control invites unpleasant confrontations aplenty.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Yielding to extravagant impulses is never a good move, yet your desires could far out-weigh your smarts. Unfortunately, you won’t have the willpower to withstand your fanciful whims.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Unless it can resolve something, don’t point any fi ngers at others, claiming they are the ones at fault for messing up, even if you believe this to be true. Let the chips fall where they may.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Even if you recognize the shortcomings of an-other, you should keep them to yourself and exercise tolerance when dealing with that person. Acting too smart or too wise makes you look bad.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There is a good chance you might have to deal with someone who is a taker. Should this person think you’re an easy mark, don’t hesitate to prove him or her wrong.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Trying to force others to give you the support you think you deserve won’t help anything. In fact, instead of facilitating matters, it might only make them worse.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s one of those days when you think you can beat the odds and, consequently, won’t hesitate to do something that goes against your better judgment. It’ll be a bad mistake.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You know it is never wise to involve yourself with friends where money or something of value is at stake, yet you are likely to do so anyway. Someone will get the short end of the stick.

DALLAS — If defense wins championships, what wins big games? As Oklahoma coaches and players told it after Saturday’s game, preparation does.

The Sooners said they were prepared to play, and that led to a 55-17 blowout win against the Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

“I felt like the coaches prepared us well for the game, and we just made plays when Landry (Jones) put the ball up for us,” sophomore wide receiver Kenny Stills said.

The preparation sure seemed to work for Stills and the offensive players, who rolled up 34 points and 453 total yards against Texas.

Much of that work was spent studying the Longhorn de-fense, which had its weaknesses exposed by BYU and UCLA earlier this season, making it clear what the Sooners need-ed to do to win, said senior wide receiver Ryan Broyles.

“We watched the film,” he said. “We felt like we had a pretty good game plan coming in.”

OU’s defense also was prepared for the game, helping the unit score 21 points and set or tie six defensive school records while forcing five turnovers and holding Texas to just 36 rushing yards. The Sooners made sure they were ready for anything Texas might throw at them.

“ I f e l t l i k e t h e b i g -gest thing this week was preparation and not get-ting caught up in all the shifts and trades that they do,” senior defensive end Frank Alexander said.

Junior defensive back Demontre Hurst echoed his team-mates to credit the purposeful training they underwent to keep their sights on the goal of beating their rival.

“The main thing for us this week was to prepare well and just focus on what we had to — just keep our eyes on the right spots,” he said.

Though the team repeated the mantra, “It’s just another game,” all last week, Stills admitted OU-Texas is special.

“There is totally a different feel out there,” he said. “It is just so exciting. We love it. I cannot wait until next year.”

Jones and his arsenal of re-ceivers gained 81 percent of Oklahoma’s offensive out-put as the Sooners handed Texas its fourth-worst de-feat in Red River Rivalry history.

Texas’ youth. The ’Horns pass the eye test — recruit-ing four- and five-star ath-letes certainly helps that — but they showed there are more growing pains to endure before Texas can be a title contender again. The Texas quarterbacks were slow to make decisions, the cornerbacks were often out of position and the offen-sive line couldn’t slow OU’s push. The Longhorns have talent, but their inexperi-ence allowed Oklahoma to

turn the game into a rout.

SuperheroesJamell Fleming. The se-

nior cornerback finished with a team-high 13 tackles and had two tackles for loss, but Fleming’s 56-yard fum-ble return for a touchdown — which happened after he ripped the ball away from Texas sophomore receiver Mike Davis — sealed his su-perhero status.

The Ryan Broyles-Kenny Stills duo. You could make a case for both receiv-ers, but the combination of the two was lethal Saturday. Broyles and Stills ran ram-pant on Texas’ inexperi-enced secondary, combin-ing for 11 catches, 173 yards

and three touchdowns.

Frank Alexander. The senior defensive end wrecked havoc on his way to three sacks, four tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble that led to a defensive touchdown.

SupervillainFozzy Whittaker. Not

much to be excited about if you’re Texas, but the senior running back gashed OU on a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the second quarter.

JAMES CORLEY/THE DAILY

Senior cornerback Jamell Fleming (32) returns a recovered fumble 56 yards for a touchdown Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The OU defense scored three times as the Sooners beat Texas, 55-17.

DALLAS — Surrounded by a sea of crimson,

cream and an empty Texas section, the Sooners cele-brated a 55-17 beatdown of the Longhorns on Saturday.

Why OU wonDefense, anyone?

Oklahoma’s defense 21, Texas’ offense 10. There’s no other way to put it: The Sooners were completely dominant in Dallas. OU held Texas to 0.8 yards per rushing attempt, sacked the Longhorns eight times and — most impressively — recorded three defensive touchdowns. Junior defen-sive back Demontre Hurst, junior defensive end David King and senior cornerback Jamell Fleming all reached the end zone as Oklahoma set a school record for the most times its defense has scored in one game.

The air raid. While Texas stymied OU’s ground game, the Sooners turned loose their passing attack on the Longhorns. Junior quarter-back Landry Jones deliver a Heisman-like perfor-mance Saturday afternoon, completing 31 of 50 passes for 367 yards, three touch-downs and no turnovers.

Tobi NeidySports Reporter

The Oklahoma soccer team is still searching for its first conference win this season after the Sooners fell to the Texas Longhorns, 2-0, on Friday in Austin.

With a 5-9, 0-3 Big 12 record, OU continues to struggle to win after drop-ping the past five consec-utive games.

“I don’t feel like our re-cord is representative of the quality of this team,” OU coach Nicole Nelson said. “We continue to get better, and we made some adjustments that we needed to work on from last week.”

Oklahoma held an 8-4 shot advantage during the first half but surrendered a 10-2 advantage during the final 90 minutes of the game to the Longhorns.

Junior forwards Caitlin Mooney and Dria Hampton combined for five of the Sooners’ 10 shots but could not find the back of the net.

Forward Hannah Higgins was the difference maker for the Longhorns, scoring in the 21st and 71st minutes.

Luke McCoNNeLLSports Reporter

The No. 22 OU volleyball team had a chance to take command of the Big 12 race Saturday against Iowa State but instead will be returning home with its first conference loss of the season.

The Sooners dropped the match to the Cyclones, 3-1 (23-25, 17-25, -22, 19-25), snapping the Sooners’ eight-match winning streak.

Oklahoma only hit .157 for the match and were out-blocked 10.5 to 4.0.

Freshman outside hitter Tara Dunn collected another double-double to lead the Sooners. Dunn had 15 kills and 15 digs, as well as two service errors.

Senior right side Suzy Boulavsky added 14 kills, and senior setter Brianne Barker also collected a double-dou-ble with 43 assists and 15 digs.

Carly Jenson and Jamie Straube led the Cyclones with 14 kills a piece, and Tenisha Matlock and Hannah

Willms had 13 each. Alison Landwehr had 54 assists and 14 digs.

Iowa State led by as many as nine in the first set at 20-11, but the Sooners battled back, tying the score at 23. However, the Cyclones won the last two points to take the set, 25-23.

In the second set, ISU took

a 9-8 lead and kept its foot on the pedal to beat OU, 25-17.

OU rallied to win the third set to extend the match, but Iowa State came back in the fourth set and led almost the whole set to win, 25-19, and extend its winning streak over the Sooners in Ames to five years.
