DISABILITYINVISIBLE

Biology and letters Senior KC Poe balances school, research and arthritis every day. Despite what many people see on the outside, she and many others power through their days with chronic illnesses weighing them down.

When letters and biology senior KC Poe uses the elevator, even just to go up a few flights

of stairs, it’s not because she’s lazy. She has arthritis that affects many of her joints. Some days, stairs are her obstacle. Other days it’s typing a paper.

While the arthritis makes her joints painful to use, for Poe, the lack of understanding about her disabil-ity can be a bigger problem than the pain.

“There are a lot of problems that can come with [arthritis], but what I get out of this as the biggest issue is that if I’m hurting, people can’t always tell,” Poe said. “What they will assume is that I’m lazy, and that’s not fair at all.”

Invisible disabilities, Poe said, are handled differ-ently than visible ones — say, if someone was in a

wheelchair. Throughout Poe’s time at OU, her invis-ible disability has been an issue with professors and fellow students who don’t understand that although she may look OK, she’s suffering. And Poe isn’t alone. In 2010, approximately 21.1 million people aged 15 to 44 who live in the U.S. reported they have some kind of disability. Those individuals didn’t classify their disabilities as severe and didn’t specify they needed assistance, according to the Americans with Disabilities 2010 report.

Because people don’t realize Poe has arthritis, sometimes she has to tell them herself, which is often stressful and not something she wants to do. Poe’s been in situations that if her disease had been visible, nobody would have commented.

“Some people are very cautious with people who have visible disabilities, because they’re afraid of saying something that would hurt their feelings or something that is a very sensitive topic,” Poe said.

However, because strangers can’t see her disease they’re more prone to say something, such as the time she was chastised for taking an elevator to a low floor. Then she feels she must explain herself.

“It’s hard to talk about, I’m sorry,” Poe said. “It’s personal. It’s something I have to work up to.”

Invisible disabilities can also create difficulties in the classroom, Poe said. For instance, Poe must al-ways tell her professors about her disease and also work to complete assignments on time despite ar-thritis flare-ups.

STAFF REPORTS

The OU Black Student Association kicked off its annual BSA Week with campus events every day from Monday to Saturday.

The first event of the week is a canned food drive that start-ed Monday and continues through today. Students can do-nate canned goods at the Student Life suite on the third floor of the Oklahoma Memorial Union. The donated goods will benefit Norman food pantries, said Brittny Dike, BSA’s special projects coordinator.

On Wednesday, students can gather at the Henderson-Tolson Cultural Center for some soul food and games from 7 to 9 p.m. Students can socialize with each other while playing cards, board games and other activities like Twister, Dike said.

Thursday’s event, called “Black & Brown Lives Matter,” is a

commemoration of the victims of police brutality that will be held at 7 p.m. in Dale Hall. The event will include a moment of silence and a candlelit prayer, Dike said. Berthaddaeus Bailey, political science and economics junior and the winner of last semester’s Mr. Black OU Pageant, will also speak at the event. Rashid Campbell, an African and African-American studies senior, will perform a spoken word presentation.

On Friday, students can watch and listen to their fellow students at OU’s first official rap battle at 7 p.m. in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Meacham Auditorium.

BSA Week will conclude with the Show-N-Tell at 7 p.m. Saturday in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Meacham Auditorium. Members of the BSA’s umbrella organizations — including the Essence Dance Team, the National Society of Black Engineers and Women of Power — will provide perfor-mances singing, dancing and more, Dike said.

After BSA Week, the next annual event the BSA will hold is their Thanksgiving dinner. Next semester, BSA’s events will include a conference with similar organizations throughout the Big 12 and the Mr. and Miss Black OU Pageants, Dike said.

Learn how to code and develop apps for iBeacon with fellow students at OU’s Hackathon starting Sept. 28. The applications are due Wednesday.

DAISY CREAGERNews Reporter

Technologically savvy stu-dents can try their hands at programming and app development for OU’s first iBeacons Hackathon to cre-ate a technology the univer-sity may use.

Applications for the hack-athon, which are available on OU’s One University web-site, are due Wednesday. T h e e v e n t w i l l b e h e l d Sept. 26-28 in Oklahoma Memorial Union and is open to all students.

Participating students will be put into groups and given two days to work on a project using iBeacons, small plas-tic boxes that send informa-tion to apps on IOS devices using Bluetooth, said David Goodspeed, Information Technology’s campus stores engagement manager.

iBeacons, which may be used in the future as part of OU’s Digital Initiative, are an emerging technology that could enhance students’ ex-periences, Goodspeed said.

“We’ve got to find ways to enhance the student experi-ence, drive down the cost of education and explore new emerging technologies that could bring all of this togeth-er,” Goodspeed said.

For the hackathon, rep-resentatives from Dom & Tom, a web development

OU’s first iBeacons Hackathon is open to all OU students

firm, will be working with students and teaching them how to code and develop apps for iBeacons.

D om & Tom has held other hackathons and con-ventions to help students learn about programing and how apps are used in the real world, said Tom Tancredi, Dom & Tom co-founder.

“A lot of students come out of school and know how to do things in theory but don’t have the experience to know how to work well with teams or use certain programs,”

Tancredi said. “It’s like say-ing, ‘I have the hardware and the supplies to build a house, but where do I start and how do I do it?’”

By hosting hackathons like the one at OU, Dom & Tom representatives hope to teach students how to apply skills, use information and work with teams. They also want students to learn what it’s like building a product from start to finish, Tancredi said.

As well as connecting stu-dents with professionals, the

hackathon is meant to con-nect students to each other and give them an avenue to explore the world of coding and developing, Goodspeed said.

“We want to give the stu-dents the opportunity to get their hands on something that they may not be able to do in their classrooms,” Goodspeed said. “We want-ed to balance out the skill sets, so we opened it to any-body and everybody.”

The outcome of the hack-athon will determine the fu-ture of the event, as well as the use of iBeacons on cam-pus, Goodspeed said.

The event is sponsored b y t h e O n e U n i v e r s i t y Store, Union Programming Board and Dom & Tom Web Development.

Learn to code tech appsOU tradition dictates Sooners should not cross over seal until graduation

JUSTINE ALEXANDERNews Reporter@caffeinejustine

Signs asking students to keep with OU tradition and not walk on the newly erected university seal in front of Bizzell Memorial Library were installed Friday.

While walking on the seal won’t damage it, said Director of Facilities Management Brian Ellis, university spokesper-son Corbin Wallace said walking on the seal is an issue of respect and a new tradition, not costs.

The s ig ns read, “ In keeping with OU tradition, please do not walk on the University Seal.”

The signs and posts were installed to prevent people from walking or cy-cling over the seal, like any other seal at the university, Wallace said.

W a l l a c e s a i d s t u -dents know not to walk on the seal in Oklahoma Memorial Union near Beaird Lounge. The tape and signs on the South Oval seal were installed Friday rath-er than after the seal was erected because university offi-cials noticed individuals walking and riding over the seal.

There is one time Sooners should walk on the seal, though, and that’s at their graduation, Wallace said.

After donating the hand-cast bronze seal to the OU Foundation, OU President David Boren and his wife, Molly Shi Boren, wanted to create a new tradition that students wouldn’t walk on the seal until graduation day, Wallace said.

The graduation walk makes walking over the seal like a right of passage, Wallace said.

The signs asking individuals to not step on the seal are expected to stay posted for a while to remind students and inform visitors of the tradition, Wallace said.

DISABILITY: Students face difficulty with classesContinued from page 1

JUSTINE ALEXANDERNews Reporter@caffeinejustine

Reasearch leaders from 22 universities stretching across 12 states met last week to discuss ways to improve each other’s research, with an emphasis on regional issues.

The think tank, the first meeting of Central and Southern Plains Vice Presidents/Vice Chancellors for Research, aimed to help representatives from universities in the same region collaborate to tackle problems beyond their individ-ual capabilities.

One of the problems facing university research is lack of funding, said Kelvin Droegemeier, OU Norman campus vice president for research.

For the last 20 to 30 years, the research and development portion of the Federal Research and Development budget has decreased, along with decreasing state and local ap-propriations, Droegemeier said.

If the trend continues, Droegemeier said the system is unsustainable.

Mary L. Good, founding dean of the University of Arkansas’ College of Engineering, offered solutions to some of the problems, such as financial issues, facing uni-versity researchers.

The solutions ranged from coordinating research part-nerships with other universities, to encouraging legisla-tion to promote research, to convincing individuals that research is important, Good said.

“The only way we can get states to improve state support to universities is to get them to understand that we are not only assisting but essential to economic development,” Good said.

The group agreed to focus their future collaborative re-search efforts on water and energy, food and agriculture, advanced manufacturing and aerospace and unmanned aerial systems, Droegemeier said via email.

SCHOLAR’S WALK

Leaders spoke about regional issues and importance of collaboration

Poe said she works with the Disability Resource Center on campus, and they help make accommoda-tions for each of her classes, making the subject easier to broach with her professors.

Junior Elizabeth Knapp deals with similar difficul-ties in the classroom. Knapp, who has obsessive-compul-sive disorder and an undiag-nosed issue that makes her extremely fatigued, said her disease limits her academic ability.

“It’s definitely made it re-ally difficult for me to focus on school the way I want to,” Knapp said.

Knapp wants to be accept-ed into a Ph.D program, but sometimes can’t complete assignments because of her disability. For example, a teacher may assign a read-ing during class, but some-time between that class and the time the reading is due, Knapp will start feel-ing unwell and won’t do the reading.

“It’s frustrating to feel like I can’t do everything I want to do,” Knapp said.

Mental illness is large-ly misunderstood by those who haven’t dealt with it, Knapp said.

“In college, it seems like anyone who hasn’t expe-rienced [mental illness-e s ] , d o e s n ’ t k n ow a ny -thing about them,” Knapp said. “I wish that they were just a common topic of discussion.”

Like Poe, Knapp said she has a hard time broaching the subject with people.

Knapp hasn’t spoken with any of her professors about her disease because she’s afraid of how they’ll react.

“I don’t talk to any of my professors about this stuff, because I’m scared that they’re going to think I’m not good enough,” Knapp said. “Of course, it’s not my fault. I still work hard in spite of it, and I feel like that’s a pretty good thing.”

F r e s h m a n K a r i n a Haritonov has a different kind of disability; she’s au-tistic. While autism affects people in different ways, Haritonov is especially sen-sitive to sound and touch, sensations that might not bother other people.

“If you touch someone, you don’t expect them to be

super sensitive to it and all of a sudden they start scream-ing at you, and you don’t know what you did wrong,” Haritonov said. “It’s just lit-tle things that — I mean, it’s fine. I can avoid them.”

Av o i d i n g s i t u a t i o n s that could be troubling to Haritonov has been more difficult since arriving at college, she said, as people aren’t necessarily aware of her disability.

“For me, a lot of people misunderstand, and they assume things,” Haritonov said. “If you’re in a wheel-chair and you can’t go up stairs or something, people are like, ‘Oh, it’s okay, we can help you’ but if you’re in a crowded, loud place, and you can’t function, then

people are like, ‘Oh, you need to suck it up.’ I don’t like that.”

Poe, Knapp and Haritonov agree that what they and many other people facing invisible disabilities or dis-ease want is simple: kind-ness and understanding.

“When you have an in-visible disease or other problem, you’re not feel-ing as confident in yourself because you aren’t at your best,” Poe said. “You’re hurt-ing. How can you feel like you can do anything pro-ductive or constructive if you feel like your body’s de-stroying you? You can’t.”

Our View: OU Votes makes registering to vote simple and OU students have a duty to exercise their democratic right to vote.

We’ve all heard the same lecture from high school history teachers, on the local news and from our parents: voting is important. Many of us have ignored that message, most of the time because figuring out how to register to vote is a confusing, time-consuming process. However, thanks to OU Votes, student voters have no excuse for not registering to vote this semester. Even better, Sooners can engage in the democratic process while earning further bragging rights over Oklahoma State University.

OU’s Student Government Association is helping remove the frustration register-ing to vote can cause through OU Votes, a cam-paign associated with Campus Compact, a state-wide organization that hosts a competition among public Oklahoma universities to see which one can register the most students to vote, The Daily reported. Sooners will compete against Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma City Community College and the University of Central Oklahoma. We already know OU runs the Sooner state, but let’s prove it to everyone else by registering the most students to vote between now and Oct. 10.

Fortunately, registering to vote in upcoming midterm elections is as easy as dropping by SGA’s offices any weekday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

now until Oct. 10. Even simpler, students can also grab a voter registration form from SGA’s table in the Oklahoma Memorial Union Mondays and Tuesdays until the deadline.

We love that rather than just saying “go vote” SGA is actively helping students through the reg-istration process. SGA will have voter registration forms for Texas and Oklahoma voters at both its office and its table in the Union, and SGA mem-bers will help other out-of-state voters locate their

appropriate forms. Nearly every semester we encourage students to vote, from local City Council elections to this year’s mid-term gubernatorial election. Exercising your constitutional right to vote is not only a privilege; it’s a duty to represent your voice.

As younger voters, we often fail to re-alize how much our Senate members’ and gov-ernor’s decisions affect our daily lives, but then complain when we have to deal with the con-sequences. For example, have you ever been angered by Oklahoma’s Congress consistently slashing higher education funding? Or how about all the ridiculous things Governor Mary Fallin does that students then mock? We can change that. And it’s as simple as taking advantage of OU Votes, completing your registration and voting for candidates who accurately represent your values during the Nov. 4 midterm election.

Comment online at OUDaily.com

President Boren, among others in the admin-istration, has done well advocating for stu-dents. However, I cannot help but wonder

after President Boren’s 125th anniversary campaign announcement — are we, as students, doing our part? We know tuition will rise, and we know this adminis-tration needs our help. We know OU has many hidden problems. Being good stewards of any place is leaving it better than we found it. What are we as students doing to improve OU?

We have the power to speak up. I am currently study-ing abroad, writing from a country where free speech is not possible. Speaking out isn’t merely a duty, it’s a gift from our forefathers. Despite tuition increasing, num-bers of minority students falling, lack of funding for several programs and sustained awkward relations be-tween Greek chapters and councils, we stay silent.

Why don’t we rally and campaign at the state cap-itol? Why don’t we push the administration to give minorities and individuals with families not receiving financial aid and scholarships a chance? Why don’t we demand that important programs that are underfunded get the money they need? Why, in our Greek system do we not reach across councils and have honest dialogue?

We, as students, have two options: We can let these problems silently fall through the cracks and pass them on to future classes. Or, we can have the courage to begin honest discussion. President Boren is doing everything he can to make OU better. Will we do the same?

GUEST COLUMNEDITORIAL

Fulfill your duty by voting

The Our View is the majority opinion of The Daily’s nine-member editorial board

No, we don’t think bras are racist.

Our editori-al published Sept. 8 titled “Replacing the fashion industry’s definition of ‘nude’” encouraged read-ers to actively redefine the color “nude,” as it’s com-monly limited to describe-ing the light-tan color asso-ciated with Caucasian skin.

Three days after we published the editorial, Fox Nation, a web forum operated by Fox News, published an article called “Bras Are Now Racist…,” which was an aggregated post from National Review Online called “Bras Are Now Racist Because They Come in ‘Nude.’”

The post begins by stating our Editorial Board “declared that bras are racist because they come in colors named ‘nude,’ since non-white people’s skin isn’t that color when they’re nude.”

That same day, a website called Weasel Zippers posted six paragraphs of our editorial with no additional com-mentary besides its title, “University of Oklahoma Op-Ed: ‘Nude-Colored’ Bras Are Racist, An Example Of ‘White Privilege’…” and an introduction of sorts that states, “Also deemed racist: Band-Aids (no, not making that up).”

That post was then aggregated by Red Flag, a website dedicated to “Aggregating the News the Mainstream Media Distort and Ignore,” and given the same title incor-rectly making it look like we had written that “nude-col-ored bras are racist, an example of white privilege.”

Also that day, a website called The Federalist Papers posted an article titled “Attention White Women: The Color of Your Bra May Make You a Racist,” that be-gins by stating, “According to the Editorial Board of the

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

Concentrate on making important per-sonal improvements. You will make great strides in your efforts to help others, but you must also remember to help yourself. Once other people notice and assess your talents, your ideas will be readily accepted and opportunities will appear.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Donʼt be hard on yourself. You may have made some questionable choices, but you shouldnʼt second-guess your next move. Trust your intuition and refuse to let uncertainty be your downfall.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Exciting romantic encounters lie ahead. Do-nate your time to community events, causes or activities. New acquain-tances and old friends will infl uence the changes that take place in your personal life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Con-sider a different venue for something youʼre planning. Property deals could prove lucrative, but overspending could obviate any gain, so be practical and remain well-informed regarding investments.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A positive outlook and strong work ethic will put you in a position to make favorable changes. Put forth the effort to share your ideas and let your personality shine through.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your self-esteem may be low if you have been beating yourself up over past disappointments. Give yourself a break. You have the energy and the know-how to outmaneuver your opponents.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Consider the steps necessary to realize the bright future you are seeking. You have the ability, so make a serious effort to take one step closer to your goals.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your judgment may be clouded today. If you are feeling upset over a recent dispute, you should slow down and take a deep breath. Rushing through the events of the day will cause unnecessary setbacks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Emotional complications will preoccupy you today. Make an effort to face head-on the issues that arise. Overindulgence or overspending will not fi x the prob-lem; it will only make matters worse.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will feel satisfaction if you catch up on your chores. Reorganize or rethink what will really make you feel happy and content. A garage sale will help you simplify your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will gravitate to the fast lane today. Social activities and group events will fi ll your schedule and bring pleasing results. Trust in your skill, knowledge and ability to communicate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Stay out of the limelight today. Listen and learn while keeping a low profi le. You may discover some enlightening facts that have eluded you in the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have knowledge and insight into what others desire. Your willingness to make a positive difference in the lives of people experiencing diffi culties will boost your self-esteem and reputation.

ONLINE EDITOR Oklahoma Daily, the color of your bra may make you a racist!”

Just to be clear, we never declared bras are racist because they come in colors named “nude,” and in no way did we say the color of your bra might make you a racist.

We used our editorial to explain how limiting nude-colored bras to one color, in this case light-tan, shows how the fashion industry and society at large has based its ideal of nude on Caucasian people. We then commended a lingerie company called Nubian Skin for designing nude-colored clothing in different shades.

This isn’t the first time the definition of the color “nude” has been debated in the media and fashion world. The Associated Press was criticized for de-scribing a dress Michelle Obama wore in November 2009 as “flesh” colored, after which the AP revised the description to “champagne,” according to May 2010 articles published by the New York Daily News and The Guardian.

We did not write that editorial to condemn the fashion industry, manufacturers, bra-wearers or bras themselves as intentionally racist. The purpose of our editorial was to shed light on one aspect of so-ciety — the definition of the color “nude” — that is built upon the assumption that light skin is the norm and every other color is the exception.

But since the Internet makes it so easy for con-tent to be copied, pasted and altered at the speed of lightning, we want to use this instance to encourage readers to look at content in its original form before basing their opinion on an aggregated version.

Ford sidelined for 2-3 weeks

Sooners prepared to take on Mountaineers

The Oklahoma offense will take the field at West Virginia on Saturday without one of its most dynamic playmakers but a duo of underclassmen are poised to keep the Sooners running.

Sophomore running back Keith Ford has been ruled out of the contest, coach Bob Stoops announced during Monday’s Big 12 conference call. Ford exited the Tennessee game during the third quarter after suffering a non-weight-bearing fibula fracture.

“It was really sad,” sophomore Alex Ross said. “I hate see-ing my teammates hurt. It’s like seeing a brother getting in-jured. I hate it.”

While there is no exact timetable for Ford to return, Stoops estimated that the featured back would be sidelined 2-3 weeks. Ford’s five touchdowns and 194 rushing yards led the team in both categories.

The bulk of the carries will now be balanced between Ross and freshman Samaje Perine — Ford’s friends in the backfield. The trio has been interchangeable for the Sooners this season.

More will be expected of the remaining two as they head to Morgantown, West Virginia, for the team’s first confer-ence clash. Ross is welcoming the idea of increased oppor-tunities in the run game.

“That’s going to be nice,” he said. “We’ll take care of it. We’re conditioned really well so we’ll take on the load.”

Taking on a heavier load won’t be a problem for Perine. The 5-foot-11, 243-pound freshman bulldozer back wel-comes the opportunity to obliterate any defender in his path to the endzone.

“I look for contact,” he said. “I’m not the one that will try to juke you.”

Ross recalled a summer workout when coaches were caught scratching their heads as they added more and more weight to Perine’s bench press bar — nothing could slow him down.

In addition to his alleged superhuman strength, Perine has done more this season than his 177 rushing yards suggest.

“He’s a really good pass protector and catches the ball well out of the backfield,” co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. “He’s a complete player.”

But as effective as Ross and Perine have been, Ford had been the lead offensive catalyst behind sophomore quar-terback Trevor Knight.

“We’re down one back that’s performed really well for us,” Heupel said. “The other two guys have to step up.”

They’ll get that chance at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

Players ready to play despite injury

Other than junior Sterling Shepard, no wide receiver had much experience heading into the season. Norvell said ju-nior Durron Neal has made big strides.

“He’s just continued to come in and make progress every day,” Norvell said. “He’s really turned himself into a good receiver and I think it’s because a lot of his hard work and determination.”

The St. Louis native has hauled in 15 receptions for 183 yards this season — more than he had all of last year.

Freshman K.J. Young has taken over the role as slot re-ceiver after Sterling Shepard moved to the outside receiver position.

Young is turning to the veteran Shepard as a model for success in the slot.

“He makes big plays and he takes his football serious,” Young said. “If I do the same thing has him, I can have the same success.”

Shepard’s fearless style of play is something Young is striv-ing towards.

“It’s the University of Oklahoma,” Young said. You’re here to make big plays. Playing with fear is not an option.”

The last time Oklahoma visited Morgantown, West Virginia, senior offensive lineman Tyler Evans was out with a torn ACL and didn’t travel with the team.

From the things Evans has heard about the atmosphere, the Sooners are in for a treat. Offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh worked for the Mountaineers before coming to Norman and told the team what to expect.

“He said it’s going to be loud,” Evans said. “They’re going to be ready because they’re defending their home turf.”

Oklahoma came from behind to edge West Virginia 50-49 two years ago and senior defensive end Chuka Ndulue still remembers what the environment was like.

“They’re loud and rude,” he said. “It’s really loud over there. On defense, we’re not going to get a lot of it but they’re very loud and very rude — almost like [Texas] Tech. I want to say they’re worse.”

CHRIS MICHIE/THE DAILY

Sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight eyes an open receiver downfield during Saturday night’s game against the University of Tennessee at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman. The Sooners are hoping for a similar outcome when they play the Mountaineers this Saturday.

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorson has instilled a high-powered offense in his four years in Morgantown. However, their defense is not one to overlook either.

Co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell said, “they’re very active, they’re very physical and they like to bring pressure. We have a lot of things to work on this week. We have a lot of challenges and we’re excited.”

In going up against their own defense during practice, Norvell sees some similarities between the two defenses.

“They come from all over the place,” Norvell said. “They love to pressure and they love to get after the quarterback and so we’re gonna have to protect Trevor [Knight] and we’re gonna have to do a great job in protection.”

A show about six kids living in a hospital sounds depressing,

right? Proving just the oppo-site is Fox’s new show “Red Band Society.”

The show is an adaptation of the memoir “The Yellow World: Trust Your Dreams and They’ll Come True” by Albert Espinosa. The show isn’t about dying — it’s about living. Once viewers make it

past the morbid reality, they will see the patients for who they are — teenagers living life.

Red Band Society transforms the view of hospitals as someplace to die into a place to live and thrive. The show’s contrasting dark and lighthearted humor bring together every aspect of the teenagers’ lives.

A comatose boy named Charlie (Griffin Gluck) narrates the show. While Charlie is unable to physically move and interact with the patients, he can observe their expe-riences as they play out.

Charlie watches Leo (Charlie Rowe), a one-legged cancer patient who has contrasting feelings about dying and his re-lationship with Emma (Ciara Bravo), a patient with an eating disorder.

The dynamic changes when two new patients, Jordi (Nolan Sotillo) and Kara (Zoe Levin), arrive.

Jordi made the decision to come to the hospital in order to be treated by the most qualified physician associated with his disease, Dr. Jack McAndrew (Dave Annable). Somehow, Jordi coerces Dr. McAndrew into treating him even though McAndrew is overbooked.

Kara, on the other hand, is forced to stay in the hospital after a fall at her high school cheer practice. Kara has a rough start with the other patients at the hospital, making some enemies early on.

While the idea of the show sounds depressing, the writ-ing and the representation of the idea bring thoughts of hope and happiness to this dismal reality.

With the expenses of inter-national study and require-ments for graduation tied to an overseas trip, raising money for an internation-al experience can be chal-lenging for many college students. One student look-ing to travel to Germany has written off applying for loans and is trying a more organic approach.

In an ensemble of blue stripes, black jeans and b l a c k- r i m m e d g l a s s e s, Angela Gutierrez is the pic-ture of effortless sophisti-cation. With a smile on her face, the international stud-ies senior began to talk about her dream of spending a se-mester abroad in Germany.

“I wanted to spend the en-tire semester there so I can become fluent and remem-ber the language,” Gutierrez said.

With a blog, business cards and plenty of fliers, Gutierrez has set out to raise the funds to take her all the way to Germany through OU’s study abroad programs.

After learning Spanish from her Venezuelan par-ents, she tr ied learning Italian — a language known to be similar to Spanish in pronunciation. But Angela

wanted to learn something entirely different. While watching a German soap opera, she fell in love with the language and made it her minor.

Gutierrez then picked Germany for her mandato-ry travel. Of course, while still here and learning bits and pieces about Germany, Angela grew more and more

excited at the opportunity to go in the spring.

“The university where I’ll be taking classes is the oldest one in Germany,” Gutierrez said.

R u p r e c h t - K a r l s -Universität Heidelberg, the university at which Angela would study, is over six hundred years old. The public research university

l o c a t e d i n He i d e l b e r g , B a d e n - W ü r t t e m b e r g , Germany, was founded in 1386. With many of America’s buildings aging hundreds of years younger, the history in Germany seems quite excit-ing, Gutierrez said.

Not only is the trip ex-pensive, but there is a tight deadline for raising the large amount of money. Gutierrez, like other students looking to study abroad this spring, has until February to raise $5,000. With less than $100 so far, Gutierrez said she’s at square one.

In order to meet the cost of a semester in Germany, A ng e l a ha s a n a c c ou nt set up at Trevolta.com/oktoger many for dona-tions. She also has a blog at Angelaaroundtheworld.wordpress.com, where she has written about her past travel experiences.
