ACADEMICS

New tool forecasts enrollmentInformation meant to aid administrators in making decisions about course caps

KATE BERGUMAssistant News Editor@kateclaire_b

Though class enrollment for spring 2014 opens for stu-dents this month, faculty have been working behind the scenes to prepare resources using a new piece of technol-ogy to predict enrollment trends.

This summer was the first time a refined version of a course and major predicting tool created for University College was made available to departments across OU,

said George Bogaski, academic counseling professor for the college.

While Bogaski previously sent data and information to faculty in some colleges, this summer he provided more specific graphs, Bogaski said.

Using the tool, Bogaski can see trends across majors and predict the strain on some courses.

“We can help expect and manage these waves of stu-dents and manage resources wisely,” Bogaski said.

Bogaski makes the information from the prediction tool available on a private website. Faculty across OU colleges and academic departments don’t have to use it, but it is available for them, Bogaski said.

“I just peddle information,” Bogaski said.

Faculty from University College and College of Arts and Sciences use the tool more than other colleges, Bogaski said. This is because those colleges offer “service courses,” or general courses that students from many departments must take to fulfill major requirements, Bogaski said.

The College of Arts and Sciences caters to students from various colleges by offering courses such as economics, which business majors need; math and chemistry, which engineering majors need and biology; which pre-medicine designated students need, said Victoria Sturtevant, associ-ate dean for academic programs in the College of Arts and Sciences.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Failure to register means Dancing in Dale may be dead Former members cite time constraints, previous leader’s graduation as obstacles

MIKE BRESTOVANSKYAssistant News Editor@BrestovanskyM

For seven years, sprightly students eager for a bit of relax-ation could gather once a week in a classroom in Dale Hall and dance for an hour or two with fellow students.

But now, students who are hot to trot with springs in their steps will have to look elsewhere: Dancing in Dale is dead.

Former member Austin Savala said group members should have seen it coming. Dancing in Dale had been offi-cially registered as a student organization at OU in previous semesters, but this semester the group chose not to register.

“We’d been student-run and student-led this entire time,” Savala said. “We were trying to avoid having to in-volve faculty, because they might try to impose stuff on us

when we’d rather just go ahead and do what we thought was best.”

At Dancing in Dale’s first meeting this semester, an OU faculty member asked if the group had reserved the class-room they were using, Savala said. Upon learning that they had not, the faculty member said there would likely be con-sequences for future unsanctioned activity.

The jig was up.Ian Scruggs, the member primarily in charge of orga-

nizing the group, graduated the previous May and no-body seemed likely to replace him. A post on the group’s Facebook page, which boasts over 250 members, terminat-ed the group indefinitely.

“If it had happened a year or two ago, when there was a bit more impetus and we had a bit more membership … we would have probably officially registered,” Scruggs said.

Without leadership, most of the group members were too busy to organize another group, Savala said.

Student organizations will cover the South Oval with chalk murals Thursday in celebration of homecoming.

This year’s homecoming events started Monday and will end on Saturday after the game, according to OU Campus Activities Council’s official website.

The theme this year is “Bound As One,” and those organizations competing in the homecoming com-petition must display this theme in a variety of dif-ferent activities, said Daniel Moreno, sidewalk chalk chairperson.

This year, 17 student organizations are competing in the homecoming chalking competition, Moreno said. The organizations will chalk murals in designat-ed sidewalk square spots along the Michael F. Price Walkway on the South Oval.

Check-in begins at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, and the actual chalking process will take place from 1 to 3:30 p.m., Moreno said.

Homecoming is the only time of year when student organizations are allowed to chalk murals in a variety of colors, Moreno said.

During the rest of the year, organizations are only allowed to use water-based yellow and white chalk.

While homecoming allows for more leniency with colors, only pastel chalk, including grey, can be used, Moreno said. This is so the chalk drawings fade away with weather and foot traffic.

While sidewalk chalking is only for OU’s student organizations, sometimes outside organizations and businesses chalk on campus without permission.

Last week, Aspen Heights Apartments chalked a mural outside of Copeland Hall in a variety of differ-ent colors. OU SGA President Matt Epting contacted the business and informed them of the chalking regu-lations, said Matt McAllister, Aspen Heights sales and marketing manager.

“We are working closely with the division of student life to understand the proper protocols for on-cam-pus chalk art,” McAllister said.

Most outside organizations who chalk on cam-pus are unaware or not familiar with OU’s policies, and calling and informing them typically fixes the problem, said OU’s Real Estate Operations Property manager.

HOMECOMING

South Oval chalk murals showcase homecoming spiritSTAFF REPORTS

OU’s homecoming week began Monday as the weather washed out the first of the week’s events.

The day-long downpour forced the Campus Activities Council to cancel the Homecoming Kickoff on Monday evening. However, students still set up booths on the South Oval to offer free food, and the banner competition between OU student groups began at the Union Parking Garage.

Homecoming events will continue throughout the week:

Tuesday• Students can vote to choose this year’s homecoming

king and queen, both of whom will be revealed during halftime of the football game this weekend. Voting will close Wednesday evening.

Wednesday• OU fraternities, sororities and other student groups

will display their homecoming boards on the South Oval.• Students can gather at the Huston Huffman Fitness

Center at 7 p.m. for a Night at the Huff, which will fea-ture dodgeball, volleyball and basketball tournaments between student groups.

• Students interested in getting a workout outside of the Huff can gather at 8 a.m. Thursday for a Barre3 class on the South Oval.

• At 1 p.m., student groups will compete to create the best sidewalk chalk designs on the South Oval within three hours.

Friday• OU will honor its alumni with a Ring Ceremony at 4

p.m. at the Oklahoma Memorial Union.• At 7 p.m., the RAH! Rally will begin at the Lloyd Noble

Center.

Democratic challenger Rep. Joe Dorman, left, speaks as incumbent Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin looks on during a gubernatorial debate Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014 at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla.

Our View: The Daily is calling on Joe Dorman and Gov. Mary Fallin to participate in a second gubernatorial debate at OU’s campus.

We believe Oklahomans deserve more than one public debate between the candidates for gover-nor, and we feel the best place for a second de-bate would be right here at OU. On behalf of The Oklahoma Daily we call on Gov. Mary Fallin and Democratic challenger Joe Dorman to participate in a second public gubernatorial debate on OU’s campus. The Daily — as a nonpartisan news orga-nization — is willing to sponsor a second debate and would be happy to partner with other non-partisan organizations to sponsor an on-campus debate.

We feel a debate at OU would give Oklahoma voters, and young voters in particular, a chance to learn more about the potential leaders of this state. The candidates for Oklahoma governorship should publicly debate their plans for bettering the state more than once, and what better place to do so than at OU, Oklahoma’s flagship university. Even better, we already have a moderator — OU’s political science department Chairperson Keith Gaddie.

We asked OU President David Boren to partic-ipate in the cause, and he said OU will sponsor the debate and provide a venue if it’s hosted by a nonpartisan group and requested by the two candidates.

Rather than wait for Dorman and Fallin to re-quest a debate at OU, we are proposing a second debate and asking the candidates to respond to The Daily’s call.

We believe public debates are essential for a fully functioning democracy and are a critical way for political candidates to share their goals and beliefs with their constituents. Debates can make or break a political candidate, and they serve to prove competence and confidence to potential voters.

Debates are also critical for the opposing candi-date and incumbent to explain why or how their political viewpoints differ. For all of these reasons

and more, we believe it is essential to provide more than one opportunity for Oklahoma voters to hear from their gubernatorial candidates.

Fallin and Dorman participat-ed in one public debate on Oct. 2, which was hosted at Oklahoma State University, and both can-didates are OSU graduates. The gubernatorial candidates clearly favor university settings for public debate, so why not hold a second debate at OU? After all, Oklahoma

is the Sooner state.We also feel it’s critical for the candidates to

hold more public debates in an effort to increase

voter turnout in Oklahoma. In the 2010 guber-natorial election, only 27 percent of eligible Oklahomans registered to vote and actually cast a ballot, according to a study by the Pew research foundation.

Opportunities for engagement with political candidates encourage voter participation, and it’s going to take more than one public debate to encourage Oklahoma voter turnout. Let’s push Oklahoma to increase its political participation and hold a second gubernatorial debate at OU.

ENROLLMENT: Program predicts course numbersContinued from page 1

For these large, general education courses, enroll-ment prediction allows fac-ulty to determine how many incoming freshmen — who have never set foot at OU — will be enrolling in a course, Sturtevant said.

For example, this fall, roughly 20 percent more students enrolled in micro- and macroeconomics than last year, Sturtevant said.

A r o u n d A p r i l 2 0 1 3 , Bogaski told Sturtevant about the predicted in-crease of students and let her know there would be more students enrolling in the economics courses than seats available, Sturtevant said.

The news came as a sur-prise for the department, which doesn’t usually expe-rience student demand that high, Sturtevant said.

Throughout the summer, Bogaski and Sturtevant watched the number of students enrolling creep upwards and adjusted the classes’ caps accordingly, Sturtevant said.

However, Bogaski’s data from University College in-dicated that students en-rolling in micro- and mac-roeconomics would still exceed the courses’ limits, Sturtevant said. Hesitantly, she added another 100-stu-dent lecture section of mi-croeconomics, which the department chairperson agreed to teach as an over-load course, Sturtevant said.

The decision was risky, but the seats to the added course filled just before the semester began, Sturtevant said.

Had the enrollment cap remained the same, enroll-ment in the early econom-ics classes would have been capped in July, Sturtevant said, and college officials like to keep courses open for enrollment into August.

Knowing trends and pre-dicting class enrollment early on prevents emer-gencies from happening in the summer and decreases strain on academic depart-ments, Sturtevant said.

When she knows of a pre-dicted increase of students in a certain course in ad-vance, she doesn’t have to rush to “triage” the situation as fall semester approaches, Sturtevant said.

Additionally, students benefit from enrollment

predictions because it al-lows them to get into cours-es when they need to take them, Sturtevant said.

Because so many majors have very sequential course plans, enrollment predic-tions help student reten-tion, Bogaski said.

If students aren’t able to enroll in a certain course during a certain semester, they may be forced to spend another semester in school, Bogaski said.

“Problems with course availability really create a lot of friction and tension and problems for advis-ers, for families of worried students who can’t get into classes, for students who are frustrated, even for fac-ulty members,” Bogaski

said.Managing course caps is

a balancing act, Sturtevant s a i d . T h e d e p a r t m e nt s don’t want to under-predict enrollment because then students hoping to take the course will exceed the course’s limitations. Over-prediction, however, can waste departmental money and lead to course cancella-tion, Sturtevant said.

Because of this, good en-rollment prediction data is crucial, Sturtevant said.

“It keeps us from making mistakes in either direc-tion,” Sturtevant said.

DALE: Dancers plan to register as group Continued from page 1

Savala, a psychology senior, had no previous dancing ex-perience, but became involved with Dancing in Dale in his freshman year when current members visited the Honors College residence hall, he said.

“In the first week [of school] they always had a couple people coming to the Honors [College] lounge to talk up Dancing in Dale as a way to meet new people,” Savala said.

The group was founded in the 2006-2007 school year by former student Matt Giuliano under the name Sharedancers, Scruggs said.

“He started it pretty much single-handedly,” Scruggs said. “He had dancing experience and a group of friends, and … he made it go.”

After Giuliano graduated, leadership of the group shuf-fled between members before joint command was given to Scruggs and fellow member Chris Kramer, Scruggs said.

As the group’s leadership changed, so did its style, Scruggs said.

“Back when Matt was running it, we did a solid mix of swing, ballroom and Latin dancing,” Scruggs said. “But it’s kind of morphed over the years into West Coast Swing, which we’ve been doing exclusively.”

For the time being, Dancing in Dale members with the urge to cut a rug have had to look elsewhere to fulfill their waltzing wishes.

Savala said he goes to an Oklahoma City-based West Coast Swing club that has occasional parties. He is also currently taking a ballroom dancing course and occasion-ally visits Shall We Dance, another Norman West Coast Swing venue.

“But other than that, I don’t do much [dancing],” Savala said. “It’s just time. I don’t have time to do other things; I have too much to do already.”

Scruggs said he still dances when he can, but his current job at the College of Continuing Education keeps him busy — and there aren’t any other groups like Dancing in Dale, which is self-taught and free.

While Dancing in Dale may be gone, Scruggs said that it would be possible for students to create a similar group in the future. It would just involve a leader who could orga-nize the group, promote it through social media and teach people to dance.

Group members are currently rallying to register Dancing in Dale as an official student group. Those inter-ested in revitalizing the group should visit its Facebook page.

The recent Daily ed-itorial regarding access to journals

unfortunately oversimplifies a complex and important issue, missing the opportu-nity to inform students about the state of scholarly com-munications today and the University Libraries’ abso-lute commitment to serving our community. A few brief

points to consider:First, it is important to understand that publishers are

dramatically raising the price of journal subscriptions. The inflationary rate of academic journals has consistently aver-aged three times the rate of consumer price index (CPI) in-flation for the past two decades, significantly eating into the libraries’ ability to adapt to changing research needs and to purchase books. Over the last 10 years, OU has significantly increased collection budgets by nearly two million dollars despite overall fiscal constraints, but it is always our duty to make sure that we spend our resources in the ways that best benefits the community.

Large publishers use ‘big deal’ agreements to guarantee themselves a revenue stream; they are responsible to share-holders for a profit. For libraries, these agreements are sim-ilar to subscribing to cable TV: these packages require sub-scription to everything produced by the publisher, whether we want it or not, and they require a multi-year commitment with guaranteed price escalation. This constrains our ability to acquire new journal titles and books needed to support new or changing areas of teaching and research. Today, no research library can afford to acquire all titles produced in all fields ‘just in case’ they might be needed. Good stew-ardship requires us to redirect our resources to acquire the highest value journals across all disciplines and to acquire books, which are being crowded out of our budget by journal inflation.

Second, it is important to understand the benefit to the entire OU community in the way we approach publishers. By cancelling the umbrella Oxford journal contract, we can

HOROSCOPE By Eugenia Last

MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2014

Concentrate on being positive, limitless and liberated in the year ahead. Go forward with an optimistic outlook that will make others take notice. Once you have dealt with the people and situations that have been holding you back, you will be able to quickly move in a direction that suits your change of attitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your family and friends are in your corner. Your uniqueness and vivacity will bring you a lot of attention. If you get involved in youth-oriented activi-ties, you will make new friends.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be diplomatic. Consider what others say and think. If you try to force your opinions on others, you will damage your reputation. A fair-minded approach will help you get your way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Travel and discovery are highlighted today. Take a trip to experience different cultures and places that hold a special interest for you. Romance is heading your way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A profi table plan is within reach. Listen to a close friend or relative to gain important fi nancial insight. Keep on top of your personal papers to ensure that everything is in good order.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be easily upset today. Donʼt take casual remarks personally. Itʼs quite possible that oversensitivity will ruin your day if you take offense when it is not intended.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Host a get-together with close friends. A sim-

ple redecorating project will update the look of your home and give you an added boost, as well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Donʼt un-derestimate what you can do. Form an alliance with a worthy cause or charity that touches your heart. You can cultivate a long-lasting friendship with someone like-minded.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Refuse to let anyone draw you into a dubious deal. You will risk your reputation if you team up with unscrupulous or devious accomplices. If you are uncomfortable, just say no.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The personal changes youʼve been con-sidering should be put in motion. You will gain some valuable insight if you travel, pursue intellectual interests or get involved in a group discussion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your primary responsibility is to take care of personal business. Donʼt take on other peopleʼs problems or debts. If you are asked for cash, simply decline. Itʼs important to stick to a manageable budget.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take time to nurture and maintain the important relationships in your life. Cut through any emotional diffi culties by facing each issue honestly and openly in order to make a difference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You need a pick-me-up. If you donʼt already have something in mind, consider getting a pet, updating your image or joining a notable group where you can meet interesting people.

GUEST COLUMNIST

exercise control over what we purchase and redirect the ensuing cost savings to higher library collection priorities. When making those decisions, factors of relative quality, use and best fit for OU needs should take priority over an emphasis simply on number of titles. We want to spend resources by purchasing what the OU community needs, not what for-profit publishers want to package and sell us.

Finally, it is deeply important to me to emphasize that students will not have to pay for access to articles from journals for which the University Libraries do not have a subscription. They may request copies of the articles via interlibrary loan. On average, such interlibrary loan re-quests are filled electronically within two days.

To continue to enter into journal contracts that require OU to subscribe to titles that are rarely used is not the best way to manage our resources. Such contracts serve the publishing companies but not the best interest of students and faculty. If we give into them, it will mean we cannot buy important items that our community needs. OU is committed to maintaining an excellent library that wisely stewards our resources for the broadest possible benefit of our entire community.

LIFE & ARTS EDITOR

Instrument junkie duo Sam France and Jonathan Rado have

come a long way since first joining forces as high school freshmen in 2005. They may have left behind their high school years, but if there’s one thing that’s carried from the past, it’s their genuine creativity and unharnessed energy that ventures to the outer-most ledges of pop/rock experiments.

Since their last album, “We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic,” Foxygen has flexed their pretentious, flashy tal-ents harness all their new ideas into 81 minutes titled “ … And Star Power.”

As if the ‘70s-style bass lines and low, floaty vocals aren’t enough to bring you back into the psychedelic world that Foxygen thrives in, the genuine lyrics in tracks like “How Can You Really” are sure to pull you along for the ride.

And what a ride it proves to be — from spacey ad-libs and background noise that suggests party scenes with crashing bottles to calm in “Star Power II: Star Power Nite” to instrumental

gems like “Star Power I: Overture.”

For those not familiar with Foxygen, this album may come as a sensory overload. This band is es-pecially known for having an erratic sound, but if you listen closely, it’s more like organized chaos.

These rowdy musicians aren’t just reckless — they’re intentional. The faded synthesized sound, ostentatious song titles and unique use of spo-ken vocals in the intros

and backgrounds of songs create the perfect can-vas for all of their wildest experiments.

If you’re looking for un-conventional, look no far-ther than the track “Cold Winter/Freedom,” where heavy, droning voices and warped guitar twist and thrash into an instrumen-tal trip that will likely leave you feeling unsettled — but wait it out because before too long, the high energy piano and guitar riffs come back into play, illustrating a

tone that the song title itself suggests. It’s a rocky start, but in the end, the wham-my bar will set you free.

The great thing about 81 minutes worth of music means that we get just that much more genius and creativity from the band. Is it too much? Not at all. There’s something for everyone to like on this album, whether you’re a die-hard Foxygen lover or you’re just looking for a new song to get you across campus.

Student club asks for help building

HOMECOMING

The Engineers’ Club invites all students to contribute to its detail-oriented float

CORT FISHERLife & Arts Reporter @cort_fisher

Less pomping and more building is what the Engineers’ Club has in mind for this year’s homecoming float.

The club has been planning for their current float for months but only began working on building their float at the end of September, saidEmily Canaday, a chemical engineering senior and queen of the Engineers’ Club.

The Engineers’ Club welcomes anyone to par-ticipate in the final stag-es of building their float. The club works on their float from 6–11 p.m. at Fears Club located at 303 E Chesapeake St.

T h e t h e m e f o r t h e 2014 homecoming floats is based on children’s books. The Engineers’ Club’s theme this year is the “Little Engineer That Could,” playing off of the chil-dren’s book “The Little Engine That Could.”

Canaday said the members loved the pun associated with their theme and it also allowed for their creative juices to flow. One aspect of the Engineers’ Club’s floats has been their insistence on having something moving on everything. Showing off their creativity has also been an important part for the club’s float.

The Engineers’ Club wants to show everyone that they are not only focused on the mechanical side of their float, but also that they are detail-oriented. They plan to express this with the backboard of their float depicting a route visiting each college within the university.

This little detail also ties into the overall homecoming theme of ‘Bound as One.’

Staff Reports

CARSON WILLIAMSFOOTBALL BEAT REPORTER

After a close win against Texas on Saturday, the offense was under heavy fire. However, for most of the first half, when the offense was struggling, it was partially due to not being able to get on the field.

Regardless, co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Jay Norvell said he was not pleased with the offense when it finally took the field.

“I’m not very happy about the way [the offense] played this week,” Norvell said. “We’re not gonna sit here and pout like we’re the worst offense in the nation, cause that ain’t the truth.”

One specific example of why Norvell was not happy was Oklahoma’s struggles on third down.

Late in the fourth quarter, OU converted its first third down of the game. Ultimately, it was its only one of the game, going just 1-of-11.

“Anytime you convert 1-of-11 on third down, that’s not good enough,” Norvell said. “We’re just like everyone else in the nation. We’re trying to fix our issues and improve on them this week and it’s an important week for us to do that.”

Coaches have stressed the team is facing tough third downs because of its poor perfor-mance on first and second downs.

TCU was arguably the best defense Oklahoma will face this year. But Heupel said he knows Kansas State’s defense will give the team challenges as well.

“They play extremely hard and they play with great technique,” Heupel said.Heupel noted third down efficiency and taking care of the football as keys to winning.

He said they did a good job in those areas against the Wildcats last year and came out with a win.
