Hester Hall has undergone a complete ren-ovation and is ready to serve OU’s interna-tional community now more than ever.

Following a charge from OU president David Boren, the College of International Studies is expanding their resources to reach more students than ever and plan to flourish in their new $13.5 million hall.

Located at the intersection of Elm Avenue and Brooks Street, many students walk by Hester Hall but few walk through the building. CIS hopes to change that as the 89-year old building completes its 18 month renovation in time for the fall 2014 semester.

“A major new feature is the addition on the west facade of the three-story element,” univer-sity press secretary Michael Nash said. “This space will provide students with a quiet study area on the first floor. The addition has become the new front door of the college.”

Nash said this new space will provide CIS stu-dents access to important resources, all within

the same facility.Constructed in 1925 Hester and Robertson

Halls were the first dormitories built by the university and were available exclusively for women. The halls housed their last class of students in 1972 and have since served several functions until being closed for renovations.

O U ’s d i r e c t o r o f A r c h i t e c t u r a l a n d Engineering Services, Brian Holderread, ex-plains the process of remodeling Hester Hall.

“A lot of it was taking what the space gave. They’ve redone what was needed, and it really was a gut and remodel,” Holderread said.

Tammy BoydLife & Arts reporter

The place to be next Friday night is the Diamond Ballroom. Chiodos, along with co-headliners Bless the Fall, are bringing the Crowd Surf America tour to Oklahoma City.

Chiodos is a big fan of crowd surfing.

“More than you would probably imagine,”Craig Owens, lead vocalist said. One of my idols is Iggy Pop, and I like to do what he did during shows, walk out on the crowd’s hands and then crowd surf back.”

In addition to Iggy Pop, Owens counts among his musical influences Freddie Mercury, Jeff Buckley, Jack White, Mike Patton and Trent Rezner.

“I like eclectic, and I like real artists,” Owens explained.

For him, honesty and integrity as an art-ist are crucial. “I don’t want to feel like I’m

being lied to or sold something,” he said.Other band members have other influ-

ences that Owens declined to list. “Because I would probably get them wrong,” he said with a laugh.

But the broad range of influences and diversity of musical tastes come through clearly in their music, particularly in their recent album “Devil.”

Although Chiodos is con-sidered a post-hardcore band, Owens doesn’t com-pletely agree.

“There’s not really a genre for us,” Owens said. “Genres are limiting.”

For Owens and Chiodos, making music is about ex-pressing individuality. For, “Devil,” that included in-corporating rhythm, melo-dy and harmony that reach well beyond the traditional “loud and fast” technique of post-hardcore music.

Fans can expect a high-en-ergy show with a set list that encompasses both older

songs as well as tracks from “Devil.” That’s in addition to lots of crowd surfing as well as co-headliners Bless the Fall.

“All the bands push the fans to give that much more energy,” Owens said. “People

can expect a sweaty, good time.”Right about now, the B-movie horror

buffs out there are probably wondering why Chiodos sounds vaguely familiar. Chiodo is the surname of the brothers who made “Killer Klowns from Outer Space,” a campy late-1980s horror flick.

Owens and Matt Goddard were enjoying a horror-movie binge one night shortly be-fore, the high school talent show their first gig. The guys realized they needed a band name, and as a joke, named their band “Chiodo Bros.” after their then-favorite filmmakers.

“The name just stuck, so we kept using it,” Owens said.

The name, like the band, has endured. Chiodos formed while the guys were in the

10th grade in Flint, Mich. For most of the band members, Chiodos is the first band they put together and the only band they have ever been in.

Like many bands, they fell prey to the ex-cesses of success and had to separate for a while, according to Owens.

“But now we are much stronger and when problems come up, we handle them like men,” he said.

Tickets for the July 25th show are on sale at Buy For Less locations in Oklahoma City or online at diamondballroom.net. “Devil” is available for sale and can be streamed on-line at chiodos.net.

4 5 July 23-July 29, 2014

The bottom floor is designated for students, class-rooms and academic advising, while upstairs has offices and conference spaces for fac-ulty and staff.

The breezeway connecting Hester Hall and Robertson Hall has been re-modeled as well.

“The breezeway has been given a different feel. We got rid of the weird architecture features and gave it more of Cherokee gothic feel,” Holderread said.

Holderread said the murals that were once inside an arch visible on the outside have been put in storage, and the university will decide what to do with them in the future.

Classroom spaces are all on the same floor and in the same area, but they now have different learning set-tings, including lecture halls as well as smaller, more traditional classrooms.

“The before and after is significant,” Holderread said.

The upper two stories are identical and are modeled after the original layout of Hester Hall.

Holderread said many of the working parts in the building were from the 1950s and had already lived

their full life cycles. They were in seri-ous need of renovation.

“It’s a smart way to utilize the money,” Holderread said.

The student lounge will extend out-side into a plaza where the CIS will have events for the community as a way to incorporate international stu-dent into the OU community.

“The CIS is a unique college be-cause they are a front door for OU in many ways,” Holderread said.

Suzette Grillot, dean of the College of International Studies, is leading the new home.

“As the new home of the College of International Studies, Hester Hall will be the main hub of international ac-tivity at OU — a place where students engaged in international studies and students from around the world will

interact with internationally-oriented faculty and staff, all in one location,” Grillot said.

Grillot said the number of students taking courses

in International and Area Studies, the number of students studying abroad and the number of in-ternational students earning degrees at OU have grown significantly over the past many years. The new Hester Hall will be an attraction to even more students, as those who wish to engage in the inter-national community at OU will have a place to call home.

“As always, I am looking forward to working with my College of International Studies colleagues on a daily basis, and I am very excited about walking the halls and visiting the classrooms of Hester and in-teracting with students,” Grillot said.

Hester Hall renovations are complete, and the university is now in the process of moving in faculty and staff as well as preparing landscaping around the building. The hall will be open for CIS students and the rest of the OU community starting in the fall semester.

“The international connections that will be made every day in Hester Hall will be life changing for all of us,” Grillot said.

OU football has a long and sto-ried tradition of producing out-standing individual players, and this year is no exception. Here are Sooner football players you should track this upcoming sea-son who are already on numer-ous 2014 preseason award watch lists.

Although it is typically the of-fense that gets the lion’s share of attention and glory, the Sooners are talent-rich on defense also. There are four Sooner defenders on the preseason watch lists, and all four players are on multiple award watch lists.

Junior linebacker Eric Striker leads the pack with three award list nominations: the Bronco Nagurski Trophy watch list, the Chuck Bednarik Award watch list and the Lombardi Award watch list.

Charles Tapper, junior defen-sive end, is on both the Bronco Nagurski Award and Chuck Bednarik Award watch lists with

Striker.Redshirt junior linebacker

Frank Shannon is on the Chuck Bednarik Award and the Butkus Award watch lists.

Zach Sanchez, cornerback, is a redshirt sophomore and already on the Bronco Nagurski Trophy and Jim Thorpe Award watch lists.

Five offensive players, in-cluding two linemen and two tight ends, have caught atten-tion, as well. Junior center Ty Darlington is on the watch list for the Dave Rimington Trophy. Daryl Williams, redshirt senior offensive tackle, is on the John H. Outland Trophy watch list. Taylor McNamara, redshirt sophomore tight end, is already on the John Mackey Award watch list. Also on that watch list, is Blake Bell, red-shirt senior tight end.

Trevor Knight, redshirt soph-omore quarterback and 2014 Sugar Bowl MVP, is the offense’s triple award threat, appearing on the Robert W. (Tiny) Maxwell Award, Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year watch lists.

Last but not least, there is a special teams player also on the

award radar. Michael Hunnicutt, redshirt senior kicker, is on the Lou Groza Award watch list.

Previous Sooners, not to men-tion a slew of others, have won all of these individual awards. It is entirely possible that one of these 10 players, or any number of other highly-talented Sooner football players, might be in the running for even more in-dividual awards as the season progresses.

The ranks of OU football alum-ni include five Heisman Trophy winners, three Associated Press Players of the Year and three The Sporting News Players of the Year. In the history of the OU football program there have been 154 Sooners elected as First Team All-Americans and 462 Sooners chosen as First Team All-Conference. OU has had at least one First Team All-Conference selection every year since 1926.
