Black-belt student claims world title

Police offi cer will teach self-defense maneuvers, how to avoid becoming a victim

HILLARY MCLAINThe Oklahoma Daily

Learning self-defense may not be at the top of students’ to-do lists, but one student group is working to put it there.

“College campuses have a high-er rate of sexual assault than any-where else,” said William Patton, Criminology and Sociology Club secretary.

For the first time, OU Police Department Sgt. Tim Tucker will teach students protective ma-neuvers at the Criminology and Sociology Club’s self-defense class Monday night.

Tucker has taught self-defense classes in the past, b u t m o s t h a v e been limited to the members of spe-cific organizations, said Brandi May, club president.

T a r g e t i n g younger students who aren’t used to the college life-style yet, this event will also focus on a realistic look at sexual assault.

“It’s not always walking down a dark alley,” said May, criminology senior. “It could be at a bar or a party. Alcohol is often involved, and the attacker coerces you into going somewhere with them.”

May said that most sexual as-sault actually happens behind closed doors and Patton, crimi-nology senior, said most sexual assaults are committed by a friend or acquaintance.

Three forcible sex offenses and six aggravated assaults were re-ported at OU in 2009, according to the Sooner Safety Report.

Measures that OUPD takes to ensure student safety include the more than 100 blue light emer-gency phones installed across campus, which dial directly to the on-duty dispatcher.

“We can reach anywhere on campus, typically, in two min-utes,” OUPD Lt. Bruce Chan said.

These blue phones run as far south as the National Weather Center and as far north as the Max Westheimer Airpark.

Proceeds from the cost of the event will go to the David T. Wright memorial scholarship for sociol-ogy and criminology undergradu-ate students.

David T. Wright was an OU so-ciology and criminology graduate who was killed in Afghanistan last year, May said.

The Student Association of Bangladesh will present Bangladesh Night from 7 to 10 p.m Sunday in the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Meacham Auditorium.

The association has hosted Bangladesh Night annually for 10 years as a way to give OU students and faculty an opportunity to learn about Bangladesh and its culture.

“It’s a great honor for me and [the Student Association of Bangladesh] to host Bangladesh night,” said Ahsanur Rahman, association president

The night will be fi lled with cultural performances and video presentations centered around Bangladesh and the student group, Rahman said.

“This is the time where we get to experience how diverse and cultural-minded OU students, faculties and staffs are,” Rahman said.

Following the performances, a Bangladesh-style dinner will be served at the Jim Thorpe Multicultural Center.

“As most participants are not Bangladeshi, they learn that even if they did not know about or have been part of this organization, they can join and be part of a wonderful cultural society,” Rahman said.

Institute will offer in-state treatment, construction will be completed in June

KATHLEEN EVANSThe Oklahoma Daily

Construction of the new OU Cancer Institute can now be completed, thanks to a $12 million gift from two donors, the OU Health Sciences Center announced Thursday.

Peggy and Charles Stephenson’s contribution is the largest single donation made to the HSC.

President David Boren wanted to raise $50 million in private funds, in addition to state fund-ing already secured, to complete the OU Cancer Institute building. Before the Stephensons’ do-nation, only $38 million had been raised.

“We had to reach $50 million in private gifts to totally finish the building and really be on our way to bringing together the talent we need to be certified as a certified national cancer center,” Boren said.

Construction on what will be named the Peggy and Charles Stephenson Oklahoma Cancer Center began in October.

The goal was to create a nationally recognized cancer center in Oklahoma so citizens would not have to travel out of state for treatment or settle for lower-quality care.

This is not the first gift the Tulsa pair has do-nated to OU, Boren said. They also are responsi-ble for donating a combined $24 million toward the Stephenson Life Sciences Research Center on Norman’s south research campus.

However, this building and what it stands for are particularly special to Peggy, because she is a breast cancer survivor and understands the importance of high-quality care, she said.

“I do remember the caring doctors and the medical staff helping me through tests, x-rays, biopsies, surgery and chemo,” she said. “These are the same things doctors here at the Cancer Institute of Oklahoma will do using the most ad-vanced technology.”

Now, more Oklahomans will have the oppor-tunity to stay at home and receive treatment.

“We will save lives every day here in this build-ing, and Peggy and I are very pleased to be a part of this project,” Charles said.

The institute plans to begin treating patients this June, Boren said.

Win marks fi rst time an American-trained competitor has won Jiu-Jitsu championship

RYAN GERBOSIThe Oklahoma Daily

Justin Rader, health science graduate student, knows what it takes to suc-ceed. He has a bachelor’s in health and

exercise science from OU, is working on his master’s in dietetics and is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

Now, Rader can add Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion to his accomplishments. Rader won the 2010 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi World Championship on Nov. 7 in Los Angeles.

Jiu-Jitsu is a form of martial arts focused on grappling. Rader said his featherweight title was a culmination of years of training with his teacher, Rafael Lovato Jr.

Lovato won the heavyweight division, making the pair the first student-teacher duo to become black belt champions without the gi, the traditional Jiu-Jitsu uniform.

Rader said he doesn’t draw his motivation from medals.

“I used to go out, and I would put too much pressure on myself to win,” Rader said.

Rader said he believes the right mindset is important to his success.

“I ask myself to go out and grapple as hard as I can, and then I will be able to walk away with my head held high, win or lose,” he said.

Along with compet-ing in tournaments, Rader has taught classes at Lovato’s school since 2006.

Rader said he is able to stay motivated and manage his time between training, teaching and schoolwork, though it is a challenge.

“I sacrifice a lot of sleep,” Rader said. “I go to school all day, and then I’m at the gym for four or five hours every day.”

Rader started martial arts training with wrestling when he was four years old.

His motivation also comes from the people around him, he said. He met Lovato when he began his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training at 12 years old.

“He’s the main influence in everything he has taught me, my game and my Jiu-Jitsu,” Rader said.

Over the past few years, the pair has trav-eled around the world competing in tourna-ments, Lovato said.

They also spend around 20 hours a week training, strategizing and teaching, Lovato said. The two have a strong relationship off the mat as well.

“He’s more than just a teacher to me,” Rader said. “He’s one of my greatest friends and someone I really respect and look-up to.”

Lovato said he feels that Rader has become “kind of like a little brother” since they’ve

known each other.Lovato is the owner of Lovato’s School of

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Oklahoma City. Lovato made a name for himself as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter by winning the 2007 World Championship.

It is very uncommon for an American to win the world championships, as only six black belts have done so.

“It’s still a sport dominated by Brazilians,” Lovato said. “To see an American to win is pretty rare, to see a teacher and student to win has never been done before.”

Rader also is the first champion to win after being trained by an American and was Lovato’s first black belt after receiving the honor in August.

In high school, Rader was the Oklahoma high school wrestling runner-up in the 145-pound weight class.

Rader then continued his Jiu-Jitsu train-ing while attending OU. He graduated in December 2008 with a bachelor’s in Health and Exercise Science.

Rader plans to use his experience and his studies to one day have his own gym.

Band members say they use nature, interest in birds to create sound of music

JOSHUA BOYDSTONThe Oklahoma Daily

Austin three-piece Shearwater began as the side proj-ect of Okkervil River members Jonathan Meiburg and Will Sheff, but as the folk rock project launched to unexpected heights, the demand of recording and touring for both bands led to a shake-up in 2008. Meiburg — who is also a graduate student in ornithology — stayed on as chief song-writer, while Sheff split back for the father group.

The band released its sixth full-length album (“The Golden Archipelago”) earlier this year and is currently on tour in sup-port of it. Meiburg took the time to chat with The Daily about birds, Thor and the Peace Corps.

THE DAILY: Much of your music is tied together by the loose theme of island life; how do you recreate that mood with music without sounding so kitschy? MEIBURG: (laughs) Are we able to do that?

THE DAILY: I wouldn’t be asking if you didn’t.MEIBURG: Well, I’ve always been so inspired by my trips across these different islands during my fellowship studies, and they are all such uniquely beautiful places. I didn’t want to be so obvious like a lot of island music tends to be. I wanted it to be more about the feeling

coming from the birds, the water and the shells rather than the clear and present nature of them.

THE DAILY: How does having your songwriting/album concepts informed by your fellowship surveys differ from most songwriters?MEIBURG: I think we are all just kind of looking around in the dark (laughs). I think you just kind of try to find a tread to follow, and for me, it has been my studies.

THE DAILY: I know that you have studied ornithology for many years, so why did you settle on the name

Shearwater?MEIBURG: I’d always just liked the word, even before I really looked more into its habits, but it’s a beautiful, sort of poetic creature. People never really see them because they spend most of their lives off at sea.

THE DAILY: How has the band grown since it was first formed? What have been some of the biggest changes, other than no longer working with Will Sheff?MEIBURG: Well, that really was a big change right there. It was about the time of the “Palo Santo” album. It really felt like the first, true Shearwater album. I even thought about changing the name

of the band at that point. But we didn’t. I think of those first records as training records, where you try and figure out how to make records and what you want to do with them and how to write songs. There is a lot of pressure nowadays to make some definitive statement right out

of the gate, and I think it’s more realistic to expect that people are going to come into their strengths over time.

THE DAILY: You guys have released new music, EPs or full albums al-

most every year since forming. Is there an importance to keep-ing busy for you guys?MEIBURG:

(laughs) You have to keep busy, or you die. Playing shows is great fun and exercises certain levels in your mind and in your body, but then writing music is an entirely different kind of work. You have to keep that part of your brain active too.

Ban all texting while drivingLETTER TO THE EDITOR

The citizens of Oklahoma voted in favor of “State Question 755” in the Nov. 2nd elections. The bill es-sentially prevents state courts from considering Sharia (Islamic law) or international law in decisions.

While I’m not a legal expert, I cannot foresee poten-tial complications that this law may have were it to go into effect; I have no doubt that at least Oklahomans acted in good faith in an effort to protect their culture.

The accusation that SQ 755 is “xenophobic” or “Islamophobic” is naïve, shortsighted and just a form of name calling against people who acted patrioti-cally and wanted to protect the cultural foundations of their legal system. The secular legal system in America (and other Westernized nations) is funda-mentally distinct from Sharia, and we have done fine without it.

Consequently, the accusation that the bill “will hurt job opportunities” is fear mongering and motivated by a lack of vision. Islam instructs its followers to spread not only its teachings, but also its legal system across the globe.

It seems that many Oklahomans are well aware of these teachings and therefore decided to take a pre-emptive step to prevent this from happening here any time in the future.

OUDAILY.COM ›› Read the rest of The Daily’s Q&A with Shearwater songwriter Jonathan Meiburg

There’s a lot to say about ol’ Harry Potter. Whether you like the multimillion dol-

lar film and book franchise or not, there’s no denying its status as a pop culture phenomenon.

Harry has been taking us on adventures since 1998 by going through magical may-hem as well as common muggle problems that we ourselves were experiencing while growing up. While the books came to a bit-tersweet end in 2007, the movies continue to take sold-out crowds on a magical journey of (almost) realistic proportions.

That hype is once again back for its last two rounds of box office domination as “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” hits theaters today.

The amount of excitement is extreme for Potter fans, because we want to see just how well director David Yates can make J.K. Rowling’s final chapter come to life. As we’ve learned from the previous six film adapta-tions, not everything can or will be included in the movies and certain things won’t nec-essarily be depicted on screen how we envi-sioned them.

Regardless, there are some plot elements and characters too major to leave out, and considering there’s one movie left after this one, we can only hope that the producers give nine years of work a worthwhile good-bye. Here are some things to look forward to as the series draws to a close:

• Bill & Fleur’s wedding: The oldest

Weasley and the French femme’s relation-ship was left on the cutting room floor previ-ously, but this lavish set partnered with the last bit of cheer for the characters should make for great eye candy.

• The “hotness” factor: Let’s be shallow for a minute and admit that a lot of the reason you still go to the midnight showings is be-cause you’re a huge fan of one of the film’s

actors or actresses. By fan, I mean a person harboring some weird, secret crush on one of the characters.

• Horcruxes: The only reason this film would’ve been OK in 3-D is because of these evil plot devices. Harry and company are on a mission to destroy Voldemort’s enchant-ments, and there should be plenty of nail-biting suspense along the way.

• The final duel: It comes back full circle, as the final showdown between Death Eaters, the Order, teachers and students takes place all over Hogwarts. There’s no doubt this battle between good and evil will be intense. And finally, some of your other favorite char-acters will have their time to shine.

• The only fight that really matters: Speaking of intense, let’s go ahead and see the end of this Voldemort/Harry feud. If this battle of wands, will and wit is portrayed as Rowling wrote it, then audiences every-where are in for a jaw-dropping emotional rollercoaster.

• Emotional goodbyes: Animals, crea-tures and familiar characters we both loved and loathed meet their demise in this final chapter. For the sake of not spoiling any-thing, let’s just say some of the deaths will be triumphant while others will just be flat-out heartbreaking.

• A good, cheesy ending: Although many original fans have grown up, “Harry Potter” has and always will be intended for children. Therefore, the movies can be as dark and mature as they want, but the ending will al-ways be on par with a Disney Channel series. However cheesy the ending, it’ll be a wel-come transition from the gloom of the past four films, as well as a nice nod to the magi-cally cheerful nostalgia that started it all.

Jonathan Meiburg, Thor Harris and Kimberly Burke make up the band Shearwater. The group released its new album “The Golden Archipelago” earlier this year.

So many of us do it. For some reason, the temptation is too great not to. A loud tone sounds or you feel your phone vibrate, letting you know that someone has just sent you a message.

You pick up your phone, even though you’re driving on the highway and traffic is heavy, and read it. Every second or two, you glance back up at the road. You might even begin to reply, punching in a word or two and glancing up again to make sure you’re not headed for a bloody ending.

There should be a law against this. Currently, 30 states have passed laws banning texting while driving. Oklahoma ought to make itself the 31st.

A few laws came into effect in Oklahoma on Nov. 1 regard-ing the use of cell phones and driving.

HB 2276 requires drivers to keep their eyes on the road at all times, and drivers can only be cited for using their phones if they get in a wreck. Sounds a little too late to us.

SB 1908 forbids teenagers with permits or graduated licenses from using any handheld electronic device while driving. It used to be applied to all eligible drivers, but was changed in committee and excludes adults, according to the Oklahoma House of Representatives website.

Why adults were excluded is beyond us. Do you really want your parents to be allowed to text?

Both of these laws aren’t punitive enough to really curb a potentially dangerous situation.

Studies have shown that texting and reading e-mails is as dangerous as, and sometimes worse than, driving while intoxicated.

Car and Driver magazine, in a 2009 study, tested the effects of intoxication and texting on reaction times in driving situa-tions. It found that on average a legally drunk person braking suddenly traveled 4 feet beyond the baseline.

Reading an e-mail or texting while driving sober yielded even worse results. The test subject traveled 36 feet beyond the baseline while reading e-mail and 70 feet while send-ing a text. In one case, a test subject traveled 319 feet before stopping.

Those who don’t support banning texting while driving say it depends on the situation. For example, if you’re stuck in traffic, and maybe late to an appointment, you could call ahead and let those expecting you know you’re going to be

late. But this is too small a pro, far out-weighed by the cons.

Last year, use of digital devices while driving caused 1,700 accidents, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. More than half of them involved young adults or teens.

Statistics about deaths specifically re-lated to texting while driving aren’t read-

ily available. In 2002, cell phone usage caused the deaths of about 2,600 Americans, according to a study by the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis. That was just in 2002, when texting was about all you could do on your cell phone. Now you can do much more.

Consider how much time you already spend on your phone while you’re not driving, and let the time you spend on the road be a good break from your phone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - One of the qualities of your sign is that there is nothing wishy-washy about you. When events call for a strong character, you’ll be the fi rst one to stand up and be noticed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - You are likely to team up again with someone with whom you’ve been successful in the past. You’ll most likely use similar means to achieve another collective goal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - That protective nature of yours won’t hesitate to go to bat for someone who is near and dear to you, when you see s/he is in trouble and could use your help. Good for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - It might not be obvious to you, but your strength of character and determination come into play the moment you believe you or someone you love is in trouble. This may happen today.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - That wonderful optimism of yours, with its positive expectations, is what contributes to your successes. When it is coupled with practicality, as it is likely to be today, its power is awesome.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Lots of fun happenings shared with good co-workers, friends and as-sociates are likely to make up most of your day. It could be just the lift you’ve needed and have been looking for.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Any bar-riers or obstacles shouldn’t bar you one bit from doing what you want. You’re the type of person who sees roadblocks but never lets them affect you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Al-though you won’t deliberately seek out competitive situations in either your business or social affairs, they could serve to encourage you to achieve what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Provid-ed you don’t leave anything up to chance, there are strong indications that you will collect what is owed you, even if that means calling in a marker on something that is long overdue.

CLASSIFIEDS Bobby Jones, advertising managerclassifi eds@ou.edu • phone: 405-325-2521

The OU football team trav-els to Waco, Texas, this week-end to play the Baylor Bears, a perennial cupcake against the Sooners, but things may be different this year.

The Sooners have never lost to Baylor — that’s 19- straight wins. And the games are almost never close. Even when OU is bad, Baylor isn’t much of an obstacle.

Then the Bears brought in this guy named Robert Griffin, a dual-threat sopho-more quarterback from Copperas Grove, Texas, who has enough talent to get some Heisman buzz on a team that matters very little on the na-tional scale.

Griffin is what makes this year’s edition of the one-sided series interesting. Even though the Sooners were having a down year in 2009, they got Baylor at home and still had Sam Bradford. And Griffin wasn’t on the field.

This time, a relatively young Sooner team will have to overcome its road woes against one of the most dy-namic players in the nation.

That’s not to say I think Baylor should be favored, be-cause I don’t.

Some part of me still sees all the talent the Sooners will put on the field and re-members the OU team I see in Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. But Griffin has had such an impact that I actually had to stop and think about it this year, which is saying something.

Although Griffin is only

Bears ascend from cupcake to contender

ROD AYDELOTTE/AP

Baylor sophomore quarterback Robert Griffin throws a pass in the first half of the Baylor-Kansas State football game Oct. 23 in Waco, Texas. The Bears beat the Wildcats 47-42 to become bowl eligible for the first time since the formation of the Big 12 Conference.

Sooners to face nationally ranked scoring attack, weak defense in Big 12 South showdown Saturday

CLARK FOYThe Oklahoma Daily

The Sooners’ opponent Saturday is a team that has sur-prised many people this year and, behind the talent of sophomore quarterback Robert Griffin, managed to work its way into the top 25 this season.

“No question, [Griffin is] one of the most athletic overall players maybe in the league, but certainly the most ath-letic overall quarterback,” OU defensive ends coach Bobby Jack Wright said. “Their offense really flows through [him], and he’s the spark plug of all of it.”

It is no secret that Baylor coach Art Briles’ offense runs through the dual-threat capability of Griffin, but the bal-ance of the Bears’ pass-and-run attack should not be overlooked, defensive coor-dinator Brent Venables said.

The Bears rank ninth na-tionally in total yards per game, averaging 489.2 this season, also good for second in the Big 12. They rank 24th in rushing and 15th in pass-ing yards per game.

Senior running back Jay Finley has already eclipsed 1,000 yards this season. His team-best 11 rushing touchdowns are followed by Griffin’s eight touchdowns and 508 yards.

The receivers are led by junior Kendall Wright’s 798 yards and six touchdowns. Sophomore Josh Gordon is next with 651 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns. The next three receivers combine for more than 1,000 yards and four touchdowns.

The team’s offensive success is a big reason why this usually dismal Baylor squad has seven wins this year, and three of the Bears’ four losses came to top-25 teams: BCS No. 3 TCU, No. 10 Oklahoma State and No. 19 Texas A&M.

The Bears’ weakness is their defense, which has allowed 27.7 points per game this year and is 97th nationally. The Bears give up 424 yards per game to opposing offenses.

Saturday’s game in Waco, Texas, could easily end up a shoot-out between the Sooner offense, which put up 45 points against Texas Tech last week, and Baylor’s, one of the most productive in the nation.

a sophomore, he has sig-nificant field experience. He played in 12 games and started 11 of them during his true freshman season in 2008, when he threw 15 touchdowns and only three interceptions while rushing for more than 800 yards.

After an anterior cruciate ligament tear kept him out in

2009, Griffin is back and has Baylor among the contend-ers for the Big 12 South with the ninth-best offense in the country. The Bears even led the division for a short time this year.

The Bears have lost their last two games, essentially putting them out of division-al contention, but if they beat

traditional Big 12 power OU, they can solidify their place as a contender for as long as Griffin stays.

And even if the Bears don’t win, it is significant progress that, for once, the OU-Baylor game means something.
