TECHNOLOGY
Two new CORE classrooms added to OU’s Physical Sciences Center
PAIGHTEN HARKINSAssistant Campus Editor
Framing the walls are eight TVs, strategically placed so each table can have its own TV. No matter your van-tage point, you can get a look at what’s on the screen. Around the room are six round tables, configured with outlets and plugins for computers and each set with nine rolling chairs.
Known as the CORE classroom, lo-cated in the Stephenson Life Sciences Research Center, it was the first of three active learning classrooms built to satisfy OU’s digital initiative, said Erin Wolfe, director of the University Research Cabinet.
Since the CORE’s implementa-tion in fall 2012, two classrooms have been added to the main campus this fall, forcing students and professors to adapt to the new style of pedago-gy—one that uses an abundance of technology that some professors don’t have the know-how to use effectively.
The new active learning classrooms are located in the Physical Sciences Center and are modeled after the CORE classroom, just on a smaller scale, and feature all the same technol-ogy as in the CORE room, Wolfe said.
These classrooms are part of a new trend in colleges nationwide, where
professors are experimenting with new ways to get information across and help mold students with better critical thinking and problem solving skills, Wolfe said.
However, it doesn’t matter how many active learning classrooms there are if the classroom structure isn’t con-ducive to active learning, said Xun Ge, department chair for educational psy-chology who was brought in to survey students in the CORE classroom last year.
For example, the tradi-tional face-forward lec-ture style won’t be effec-tive in these classrooms because of the integrat-ed technology and over-all set up of the rooms, said Mark Morvant, di-rector of OU’s Center for Teaching Excellence .
Students in these class-es should take part in ac-tive learning, which is more problem solving and challenge based, Morvant said.
However, sometimes professors don’t have time to use all the technol-ogy in the room because they haven’t figured out how to give students the in-formation they need and incorporate other activities, Ge said.
Ge was approached last year to eval-uate how professors and students per-ceived the CORE classroom and how
each used the available technology.“[University officials] have invested
a lot in building that classroom and of course, they’d like to see the classroom is not just cool, but also helps students to learn better,” she said.
While there is research out there proving that these classrooms do facil-itate learning, Ge was focused on what exactly promotes better and more in-volved learning.
“Is it because of the big screen tech-nology? Is it because of the group dis-
cussion?” she said.While the overall re-
action by both students and professors to the classroom was positive, Ge said she is going to recommend that the class structure for those c l a s s r o o m s s h o u l d change.
M a n y p r o f e s s o r s f o u n d t h e r e w a s n ’ t enough time in class to get across the informa-
tion they wanted and also incorporate the technology like they wanted to, she said.
“It’s a new way of thinking about teaching,” Ge said.
In the conclusion to her research, Ge suggests there needs to be a para-digm shift in thinking about learning,

OU’s chapter of Sigma Nu will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 31 for its new house, which will be one of the only fraternity houses in the nation with single bedrooms.
The ceremony will formally kick off construction on the Delta Epsilon chapter of Sigma Nu’s new house, which is expected to feature 46 single bedrooms with a bathroom to every two bedrooms, said Sigma Nu President Cole Grady. Members are expected to be able to move in by Aug. 2014, and the house will be built at the same loca-tion of its current house at 1300 College Ave.
Building a new house is a result of the decision made last year to rebuild Sigma Nu’s presence on campus.
After 100 years of being active on campus, Sigma Nu members for-feited its charter at OU in 2010 because of low membership. Sigma Nu members at the time said the fraternity planned to be active again on campus after two years, and in 2010 Sigma Nu alumni began cam-paigning to raise funds for the new house.
“Our house was torn down right after they kinda closed down the chapter back in 2010...We are building a com-pletely brand new house,” Grady said.

KNIGHTED QUARTERBACK
F R I D A Y , A U G U S T 2 3 , 2 0 1 3Sports: With his improvement during the spring, it’s no surprise Knight is QB (Page 5)
JULIA NELSONSports Editor
Redshirt freshman Trevor Knight was named the Sooners’ starting quarterback Thursday night.
He beat out junior Blake Bell in a quar-terback battle few expected to last this long. Junior quarterback Kendal Thompson joined the two during spring practice, but on the first day of fall camp, Thompson broke his foot. The injury effectively took him out of the race.
The announcement that Knight was the starter followed much speculation.
“Both Trevor and Blake have competed hard and both will be ready to play against Louisiana-Monroe,” Coach Bob Stoops said in a press release. “Like every other position on our team, I expect them both to continue com-peting for the starting job.”
Knight earned rave reviews during Cotton Bowl preparations about his work on the scout team.
During the Red-White spring game, Bell ap-peared to be the superior candidate. His game-time experience helped him have a better
showing than both Knight and Thompson.Throughout the offseason, though, Stoops
stayed adamant there would not be an an-nouncement any time soon. At Big 12 Media Days, he shot down any thought Bell was the starter.
After receiving a question about Bell as the quarterback, Stoops simply responded, “You’re kind of making assumptions if you think he’s already the guy.”
A San Antonio, Texas native, Knight passed for 2,092 yards and 27 touchdowns with only three interceptions. On the ground, he rushed for 943 yards and 15 touchdowns.
He originally committed to Texas A&M, but changed his commitment to Oklahoma before his senior year in high school.

For new students: at ou, these classes are aimed at first and second year students to groom them for this type of hands-on learning.
For professors: the setup is useful for professors because they can monitor all the
students’ work on the tV screens. if the professor notices exceptional work on someone’s screen, or a common problem, he/she can project one table’s screen to the rest of the class and teach that way.

AT A GLANCE Active-Learning classrooms
Our View: Manning’s public announcement encourages people to keep an open mind.
Originally from Crescent, Okla., Pvt. Manning is a former U.S. Army soldier who was trained as an intelli-gence analyst. The job gave Manning access to multiple U.S. secret docu-ments and confidential materials.
Manning chose to partner with Wikileaks and shared clas-sified documents, including various Afghani and Iraqi war logs, undisclosed files on de-tainees at Guantanamo Bay, documents and footage of air-strikes and more.
Manning has been held in custody since May 27, 2010, and as of Wednesday, was sentenced by a mili-tary judge to 35 years in prison. While some find the sentence to be short, others are thankful it isn’t longer.
Regardless, change is about to take place in Manning’s life, and not just from his sentencing.
Just one day after Manning’s final court appearance, Manning had an announcement of his own to make, or should we say, her own to make.
In a statement first reported by Today News, Manning revealed to the world that he intends to spend the rest of his life as a woman.
Marking the subject of her dispo-sition-reflecting statement as, “the next stage of my life,” Manning ex-plains that from this point on, she is Chelsea Manning, a female.
I love my country. This is just a nat-ural state of being
for me. I love being an American citizen and I do not wish for another person to take that away from me.
Bradley Manning, now Chelsea Manning, was sentenced to 35 years in military prison on Wednesday. She was given a comparatively light sentence when the maximum sentence pos-sible was 90 years. The courts gave her a sen-tence that they think fit the crimes, and I respect that, but the problem arises when the citizens of this nation were put into danger as a result from Manning’s reckless endangerment of the nation he should be serv-ing, as her uniform sug-gests. Chelsea Manning betrayed her country by leaking classified infor-mation, and I am angered by that fact.
In a large agency of any kind, there is only so much information that can be read through individually. Manning released thousands of classified documents. This is an unacceptable course of action, espe-cially as a member of our military. As a member of our armed forces, we expect the people in uni-form to protect our basic rights and securities. The
fact that there was such a great volume of documents means that there was no way that Manning could have sifted through every single document to see the content. Did Manning even know what she was releas-ing at the time she did so? It was Manning’s duty to protect the citizens of this nation and she did not fulfill his duty.
A hero is not the person who that opens his or her mouth to speak of evils in a governmental body. A hero is the person that takes proportional action when she sees injustice. Manning took matters into his own hands, vigilante justice if you will, and made deci-sions regarding our national security that should only be made by those that sit in the Situation Room. If my pres-ident thinks there are things I don’t need to know, I trust him enough to believe that he would not endanger my life for no reason.
To that effect, I do ap-plaud the spirit of the ac-tions that Manning por-trayed during the WikiLeaks scandal. She wanted to
make sure information that needs to be heard by the people was heard. The problem becomes that she did not think of the lives he was endangering in the process of becoming a hero. Our Constitution is designed to be full of checks and balances for the governmental bodies that preside over us. It could be said that Manning betrayed the Constitution and didn’t trust the people in power. If you don’t like the people in power in your country, that’s fine. Take it to the ballot box. Use caution and reason when dealing with problems such as this.
I am infuriated by the way Manning has taken the spotlight and tried to use it to make a name for himself. It is disgusting to watch her speak of what a hero she is when she has done nothing but take my choice away from me. I was born in this country and I reserve the right to exist in this country as I see fit.
So thank you, Ms. Manning. You helped to get information that could hurt me and my family to the people that want to destroy my country. I choose to be free and I choose to be pro-tected for my own safety. You took that choice away from me, and you cannot take that back.
Shelby Guskin is a political science sophomore.
Bradley Manning, now known as Chelsea Manning,
is an inspiration. Calling her a hero might be a stretch, but she certainly has demonstrated an act of courage when she leaked the largest amount of clas-sified files in our country’s history.
On Wednesday, she was sentenced to 35 years in prison for accusations such as violating the Espionage Act, among other things – but is this really fair?
At 25 years old, you have so much of your life ahead of you. By the time Manning gets out of prison, if she ends up serving all 35 years, she will be 60 years old. She’s going to have to spend her thirties, forties and fif-ties locked up behind bars for a crime I would consider valiant. In any given situa-tion, releasing information without the consent of the owner is a crime, though in this case the govern-ment “owned,” (or properly noted), hid secrets from the American public and the world.
I understand the princi-ples behind keeping certain information confidential to protect our national secu-rity, but the legal entangle-ment Manning was twisted in resulted in the wrong per-son being punished.
Manning released evi-dence of crimes committed not by her, but by her gov-ernment. Our government.
My question to the ideology of this sentencing called a fair trial, begins with why the classified documents existed in the first place. Our government commits a crime, sweeps the evidence under the rug, someone comes in, lifts up the rug and unfortunately gets pun-ished for sharing the truth.
Before you accuse Manning of being a crimi-nal, we need to reevaluate who the real enemy is here. She was standing up for our right to know the truth and chose not to leave us igno-rant of the actions those we elect in office are responsi-ble for.
Perhaps the name Daniel Ellsberg comes to mind here. Ellsberg was also once a U.S. military analyst who is responsible for releasing top-secret government doc-uments known as the infa-mous Pentagon Papers in 1971. The Pentagon Papers were a collection of files documenting the U.S.’s po-litically influenced military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967. Unlike Manning’s verdict, Ellsberg wasn’t convicted and never
had to serve time in pris-on. He received the Right Livelihood Award in 2006 for his rationale to push truth above secrecy.
Previously reported by the Washington Post, Ellsberg recently told the Associate Press, “Manning will always be an inspiration of civil and moral courage to truth tellers.” I couldn’t agree with Ellsberg more.
All Americans deserve the right to know what mil-itant and political actions are taking place on behalf of this country, not just the Americans who sit in the White House or Pentagon. Of course, some things do need to stay hidden in the shadows if they potentially invite or cause harm to our communities, but what is unacceptable in this case is the fact that the government is again so quick to punish the whistle-blowers before offering an explanation for the leaked information.
What is our government hoping to accomplish by imprisoning Manning for so long? We can’t be threat-ened by the chance we will get punished for sharing ev-idence that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
My blood would have been boiling if she were convicted of aiding the enemy; she was aiding Americans.

POINT/COUNTERPOINT
Is Manning the hero or the enemy?
Whistle-blower not the criminalPOINT
Manning betrayed her countryCOUNTERPOINT
She expressed how she has felt this way since her childhood and asked that people support her in this tran-sition in her life. We imagine the last three years of her life have been diffi-cult, and we applaud her bravery to be open and honest to the public regard-ing what and who she is.
Being transgender is not a lifestyle widely accepted in Oklahoma, prob-ably because not everyone under-
stands the physical and emo-tional processes a transgen-der person goes through.
It’s important that before you make judgments about transgender people, you try to understand their point of view. Here at OU, there are
transgender students who attend class just like everyone else and deserve our moral support before, during and after their transitions.
In her personal statement, Manning said she wants to begin hormone ther-apy as soon as possible. We hope her courage to share this personal infor-mation does not defer people from supporting her. You shouldn’t feel like a prisoner in your own body or a target for scrutiny.
She was ridiculed and bullied throughout her experience in the army partially due to the fact that at that time, she was a gay man who struggled with gender identity dis-order. Now that she is comfortable and brave enough to share her testi-mony with the public eye on her, she is showing others to accept and be

FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 2013
Keep your money in a safe place and keep a sharp eye on your assets in the coming months. Don’t make any questionable loans -- hurt feelings would only result. Focus on stability, security and improving your relationships with the people you care about most.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Let your feelings be known regarding an important matter. Whether you are in a relationship already or pursuing someone new, you can spark a fl ame and commit to building a happy future.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --A reunion with colleagues, peers or classmates will get you thinking about past relationships. Don’t dwell on them -- new relationships will have more to offer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --A change in the way you feel about someone is likely. Don’t overreact or jump to conclusions. Be prepared to ride out any storm you face until you have more options.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --Go out of your way to take part in an adventure that encourages learning and meeting people from different walks of life. Your overall focus could change, with positive, if drastic results.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) --You’ll fi nd plenty of ways to improve your surroundings as well as your relationships. A move due to a job opportunity looks promising. Be prepared to adapt to shifting trends.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You’ll be forced to deal with
people who are quick to judge and make assumptions. Don’t let them jeopardize an important relationship. Deal with a stressful problem before it escalates.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --Get out and have some fun. Partying with friends, taking part in a fun activity or traveling to an enticing destination will enhance your outlook and your relationships.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --You need to ask questions if you suspect you are being misinformed. Go over your personal papers and make sure you have everything in order before making a major decision.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --It’s a good cycle to fi rm up any offers or ask for perks that will make a decision easier or a change more inviting. Put your goals ahead of your personal feelings for the moment.

Nobody should be surprised.
Really.Redshirt freshman
Trevor Knight is officially the Sooners’ starting quar-terback. It’s a move only ju-nior quarterback Blake Bell should be surprised about.
Knight has been making enormous strides since he stepped foot on campus.
Nobody knew who he was until Cotton Bowl preparations started in December. Then, he was all the defense could talk about.
He lit up the scout team doing his best Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel impression. And given the struggle the Sooner defense had de-fending against Manziel, it’s safe to say Knight should see similar success this season.
In his only public show-ing thus far, the Red-White spring game, Knight had a few issues. He fumbled near his own goal line and seemed uncomfortable in the pocket early on.
But what impressed me about Knight during the spring was his ability to recover and get past his mistakes. Yes, he gave up an easy seven points on his fumble. And yes, he aban-doned the pocket far too early. But once he found his rhythm, he was impressive.
He got comfortable in the pocket. He started mak-ing his passes. He showed flashes of being the guy Oklahoma could rely on.
Most of the spring game chatter swirled around Bell and his impressive spring game showing. Nobody focused on Knight’s im-provement during a single scrimmage.

OU returns, hosts family weekend
Men’s BasketBall
Dillon PhilliPsinside the Huddle editor
Fresh off a five-game European exhibition tour, the OU men’s basketball team has returned to Norman to host the third annual Sooner Basketball Family Weekend, which will take place today and Saturday.
The alumni event, which coach Lon Kruger started upon arriving at OU two years ago, features the Tip In Club Golf Classic at 8 to-night, the Wayman Tisdale Scholarship Fund Dinner at 7 p.m. tonight and the Alumni Legends Game at noon Saturday.
“Every Legends week-e n d h a s b e e n g re a t ,” Kruger said. “To see all those former players come back … and share those memories of their time on campus is really fun to watch.
Fans can attend to-night’s dinner, which will honor the Sooners’ All-Americans and 2,000-point scorers, for $50 per person and Saturday’s exhibition free of charge.
After the game, fans will be allowed on the court for an autograph and photo session with current and former players.
“[Each former player] has a crazy story: the funny story, the crazy story, the punishment story,” sophomore guard Je’lon Hornbeak said. “I’m really looking forward to hear-ing some stories.”
On Aug. 16, the Sooners returned to Norman after a week abroad in Belgium and France. While in Europe, OU played five exhibition games against five semi-pro teams: Ghent, Waregem and St. Jan-Antwerp of Belgium, and La St. Charles and Evreux of France.
“The trip was fantastic,” Kruger said. “I can’t imagine it being much better. Everyone benefitted from it individual-ly, on and off the court, and as a team.”
OU fared well, going 4-1 during the stretch with each of its wins coming by at least 18 points and its only loss com-ing by 10 to Evreux.
“Of the nine scholarship guys that played, five of them haven’t played a minute of Big 12 ball,” Kruger said. “So to get those 10 days of practice and five games, it couldn’t have come at a better time from a roster, age standpoint.”
One of the biggest bright spots of the trip was the play of sophomore forward Ryan Spangler, a Blanchard, Okla., na-tive who sat out last season after transferring from Gonzaga. The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 12.4 points per game during the trip and showcased his range, stretching the floor and shooting 63 percent from behind the 3-point line.
“Once you can hit outside shots, everything inside opens up,” Spangler said. “It’s just so much easier (to work inside).”
The Sooners’ next game will be an exhibition against Washburn at 2 p.m. on Nov. 2 in Norman. They officially tip off their season against Alabama at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8 in Dallas.

My guess is pretty sim-ple. Look at Knight’s im-provement during the spring game and multiply it by about 50. That’s how much Knight improved this offseason.
If you’re coach Bob Stoops, it’s nearly impos-sible to ignore that kind of growth.
The greatest part of this announcement, though, is the Belldozer gets to stay.
If he wants to.Bell very well could-
choose to transfer after this announcement. I hope he doesn’t. Even though Knight is a mobile quar-terback, a short yardage package like the Belldozer will be very helpful to the offense.
Knight is quick. Bell is muscle. Both are good, but they’re very different.
With rumblings of
the last yard, muscle beats speed every time.
There’s a reason Bell had to come in to get those last few yards — he’s bigger than your average running back. What a normal ball carrier can’t get, Bell can.
I don’t mean to turn Bell into a former-Florida-quar-terback-Tim-Tebow-wan-nabe. The last thing I want is for Bell to turn into the same glorified tailback Tebow has become, but the Bellzoder has pass options. Let’s use them.
At the end of the day, Knight was the best guy for the job. He’s younger, has shown a bigger capacity to grow and can start for the next four years.
Here’s to the opening of the Knight-era.

Can you hear it? As the beast lumbers its way to campus,
hordes scream and protest in vain. Still, others run to-ward the impending disas-ter. Some invite the scourge of Foampocalypse.Once every year, the foam returns to claim its annual serving of helpless human sacrific-es. Run — don’t walk — to Foampocalypse … if you dare.
For those souls coura-geous — or stupid — enough to think they can survive Foampocalypse’s annual onslaught, it will take place at 8 p.m. Friday on top of the Oklahoma Memorial Union parking garage. This is not your friendly neighborhood Starbucks foam — this foam is a ruthless, despicable vengeful mass that tastes not of premium-roasted coffee, but of soap — and suds! The Daily hereby now dedicates this space to a comprehen-sive foam party survival guide.
Stick together. Go with a group of friends, and what-ever you do, stay with your group. Those who become separated run the risk of being lost in the bubbly abyss — for good! My suite-mate from freshman year is still missing. No parent
deserves to hear the news that their son or daughter has inexplicably been swal-lowed by an insatiable foam beast from parts unknown.
Attire. Come dressed for battle. No frilly skirts or flip-flops. The foam mass is a slippery foe — literally. Wear shoes that won’t slip and that will protect your feet. Wear clothes that you’re OK with getting wet. Many walk away from Foampocolypse tattered, torn, mere ves-tiges of the human beings they once were — and also soaking wet. So prepare. Remember when it comes
to Foampocalypse the best offense is a good defense. Think of your attire as your fortifications against the foamy onslaught.
Leave all valuables at home or in your car. Marauding hordes of Foampocalypse refugees have been known to take anything that isn’t nailed down. You won’t want to take your phone into the wet, soapy battlegrounds with you and leaving it outside is never a good idea.
