WORSE THAN YOU THINK S
Title IX receives more assault reports than any other agency
PAGE JONES | @PAGEOUSM NEWS MANAGING EDITOR
exual assault is a worse problem at OU than what is reported in the Sooner Fire and Safety Report. OU’s Title IX Office has received 70 more sexual assault reports since 2012 than the safety report shows. There have been 122 sexual assaults reported to the Title IX
office between its establishment in 2012 and Sept. 2, 2015. Compared to 52 assaults cited in the safety report, including 20 assaults reported to OUPD, according to police reports obtained through the Open Records Office and the 2015 Sooner Fire and Safety Report.

Reporting to the Title IX office is anonymous and guarantees privacy unless the victim decides to press charges. But part of Title IX is also mandatory reporting. If someone or some department is a mandatory reporter, they are required to tell Title IX when they’re aware of a sexual assault. Anyone who works for the university in a position to know about possible resources is a mandatory reporter, said Kathleen Smith, assistant Title IX coordinator and sexual misconduct officer. “It could come from a professor who someone has reported to, and they are letting us know that someone has reported to them,” Smith said. Resident advisers are also considered mandatory reporters, which is important because the most assaults occur in the residence halls, according to OUPD reports. Between 2012 and Aug. 1, 2015, three people were reported to have been assaulted in Walker Tower, two

in Couch Tower and three in Adams Center. RAs are trained to handle when a survivor reports to them, Diane Brittingham, director of Residence Life, said. As part of their training, RAs are required to report to the Housing and Food office or to Title IX, but they are not allowed to tell fellow RAs or other students. “They (also) share with a (survivor) what their options are; they can call an advocate; they can call the police (or) they can choose not to share,” Brittingham said. “The important thing that we do… is that we give the power to the student.” The Sooner Fire and Safety Report is an annual report that contains information for students for their safety.

department. In 2012, 12 “forcible sex offenses” were reported, 22 were reported in 2013 and 18 were reported in 2014. The 2015 numbers have not been released yet. Survivors have to come to OUPD, and often they feel less comfortable doing so, Kathy Moxley, director of the Women’s Outreach Center, said. Moxley said someone who has been assaulted might not report it to the police for personal reasons. “They may want to move forward in their mind, and reporting it to the police is a decision that means telling their story over and over again and (they think) ‘I may or may not be believed’, ‘I may have to face my assaulter again’,” Moxley said. “And the reality is that cases in the court system take a long time to move through that system, even if the district attorney takes the case.” SEE ASSAULT PAGE 2
OU must award the Gaylord Family-Memorial Stadium construction contract to Haas Metal Engineering Inc. after a Cleveland County district judge upheld a temporary injunction to stop the renovations. In an order filed today at the Cleveland County district court, District Judge Thad Balkman said HME Inc. is required to post an injunction bond in the amount of $178,770. Of the total, $153,770 is for damages OU may sustain resulting from the halting of the construction, and $25,000 is for reasonable attorney fees, according to the order. Balkman determined that following an Oct. 23 hearing, HME Inc. was the lowest bidder numerically, and it was indeed a responsible bidder for the project. As a result, Balkman ordered a temporary injunction enjoining OU from continuing construction. OU will appeal the decision and said construction will continue despite the injunction.

The OU Undergraduate Student Congress voted to request more research be instated to find fraudulent or stolen paintings from the Nazi era of 1932-1946. Monday, the congress met to consider multiple bills, one of which proposes further and more in-depth research be enacted by the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. This research is called provenance research. “Provenance research, which is the history of an artwork’s ownership, is an important part of work completed by modern museums,” according to the piece of legislation presented by Ryan Echols, a Fine Arts District Committee representative. The purpose of this article would be to make sure the museum is conducting the necessary research they need to do, Echols said. SEE SGA PAGE 3

NEWS ASSAULT: Continued from Page One A few resources on campus are confidential. The Women’s Outreach Center sponsors OUAdvocates, a 24-hour hotline for any kind of gender-based violence, from sexual assault to dating violence.The program is confidential and does not report to the Title IX office unless the victim wants to, Moxley said. “Their job is to support the victim. They provide immediate crisis intervention and referrals to counseling,” Moxley said. While the job of OUAdvocates is to support and make a survivor feel safe, advocates also let the survivors know their options. “We’re always going to talk to them about reporting options, whether it’s the police or Title IX,” Moxley said. An advocate is even welcome to join the sur vivor and guide him or her through Title IX’s investigative process, Smith said. After the report is made to Title IX, the office gives the survivor a brochure listing all of his or her options, including reporting to the police. Title IX then has a 10-day window to contact the victim. After which, two investigators gather evidence by

However, Title IX’s numbers are only 3 percent of the sexual assaults that national statistics would suggest occur, based on OU’s student population. Title IX may be seeing more assaults reported to it than any other agency at OU, but if national statistics are to be believed, survivors still don’t feel comfortable coming forward. “S o m e o f i t m i g ht b e pressure from other people to minimize a situation,” Moxley said. “The victim may not realize what happened to them. They might minimize it themselves.” Moxley said the way culture talks about survivors may also prevent them from coming forward. “There is a lot of, I think with sexual assault cases, some self blame. That our culture puts on the victim,” Moxley said. “When we say things like ‘Was she drinking?’ ‘Was he drinking’ or ‘What were they wearing?’... we victim blame.” Page Jones pagejones@ou.edu

Showing that bald is beautiful Volunteers to shave heads to raise cancer awareness MARY SMITH
news reporter @marysmitty21
One of OU’s service fraternities will be hosting an event in November on the South Oval in support of childhood cancer awareness in which volunteers will be shaving their heads. The co-e d fraternit y, Alpha Phi Omega, will hold this event for their philanthropy, St. Baldrick’s, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m on Nov. 3. St. Baldrick’s is an international charity whose funds go toward childhood cancer research. The hair will be donated to St. Baldrick’s, who then distributes the hair to other organizations that can make wigs out of donated hair, said Alpha Phi Omega treasurer Josh Cook. The hashtag #baldisbeautiful has been used on social media in months leading up to this event to get the message across, and the use of social media has even inspired people to volunteer, said African American Studies and human relations junior Jessica Caldwell. “This event is to show kids that they’re beautiful either way … and to stand in solidarity,” said Leslie Morales,
Alpha Phi Omega’s vice president of service. Standing in solidarity with children going through cancer means that those who volunteer to do so will do as another popular hashtag for this event says and that is #bravetheshave. In 2012, a former member of Alpha Phi Omega, senior Kitty Raadschelders, shaved her own head and was among thirty other volunteers who did the same that year. “I got a lot of confidence in it, and for myself, … it makes you see your inner beauty, and it’s just such a great cause,” Raadschelders said. “It was fun seeing my hair in all the different stages when it was growing back.” Caldwell is planning on following in those footsteps come November, along with several of her friends, including one that is traveling from out of state to join her, she said. She has already done a lot to fundraise and spread awareness. For example, she wears a button that says “every three minutes” that is supposed to provoke conversation, since every three minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer in the United States, Caldwell said. Alpha Phi Omega’s main cancer awareness event, though, is the head shaving itself, and witnessing other

Will also be a raffle, games and St. Baldrick’s merchandise for sale. Why: To stand in solidarity with children who have cancer and show that bald is beautiful — hair that is cut will also be donated to be made into wigs, and all proceeds will be given to St. Baldrick’s to further cancer research.

The OU Board of Regents approved the installation of a larger video scoreboard i n t h e Gayl o rd Fa m i ly Oklahoma Memorial Stadium to replace the current, smaller one. The video scoreboard planned for the south end zone is projected to be the second-largest collegiate scoreboard in the country with an area of about 7,806 square feet. Auburn University owns the largest collegiate scoreboard in the nation with an area of 10,830 square feet.
The university is required to keep the scoreboard construction within a $5 million budget and work only with Daktronics, Inc., the company viewed as the most valuable to OU, according to the October Regents meeting agenda. There is funding available and set aside in the Athletic Department budget for the south end zone project, according to the agenda.

of the two future residential colleges were announced. The donors are Tim Headington, after whom Headington Hall is named, and Linda and Archie Dunham. The residential colleges will house sophomores, juniors and seniors, and a parking garage will be constructed alongside the colleges as well.

Undergraduate Student Congress meets on Sept. 29 in the Devon Energy Hall. Congress met Tuesday night to discuss gun laws on campus and held a moment of silence for the victims of the tragedy at the OSU homecoming parade.
SGA: Continued from Page One Eric Sundby, the president of the Holocaust Remembrance and Restitution Society at OU, attended the meeting and presented the bill to congress alongside Echols. They provided information to the plethora of questions brought to the floor. If the artwork is found to be from the Nazi era, the artworks will be given back to the original artists or reinstated to the prior location, Sundby said. Sundby has many connections to the Holocaust, one of which being that he’s had family members pass away from
the tragedies people faced during this time. Forty paintings at the museum are listed on the Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal, a registry that tracks paintings that changed hands in continental Europe during the Nazi era. Some of the museum’s works have been also questioned of being in the arms of a Schutzstaffel member at some point in time, being stolen from German citizens and sometimes burnt due to their affiliations. Sundby said that some of these antiquities can never be replaced. The bill passed through congress and will be seen by the Graduate Student Senate on Nov. 8. Congress also saw legislation asking to make election days holidays and establishing the polling sites for said
elections. These sites will be located at the Bookmark Cafe in the Oklahoma Memorial Union by the front entrance and in the Cate Center Rock Garden. Congress also heard legislation that would keep OU a gun-free environment, reiterating OU President David Boren’s assertion that guns on campus do more harm than good. However, this proposition was tabled due to proposed amendments and confusion as to why the bill was needed, as similar legislation passed in 2014. Congress will see this proposition again in two weeks. Brianna Sims brianna.m.sims-1@ou.edu

In 1992, BBC aired a Halloween special called “Ghostwatch.� “Ghostwatch� was presented as a live investigation into a haunted house.
This exercise in subtlety is one of the most chilling aspects of “Ghostwatch.� When things start to escalate, and Pipes makes his true power known in the second half, it is absolutely terrifying. Gone is the comfort provided by the familiar decorum of the BBC. Pipes is here now, and he could even be in the home of the viewer, channeled right into his or her living room through the television set or at least that was the sentiment of the UK during the broadcast. “Ghostwatch� caused a national panic due to people not realizing that it was a hoax.

hen we think of horror movies, it is natural for our brain to conjure up the scariest images it has retained from the gruesome side of cinema. But music can
often be just as spine-tingling, and there is a certain art to crafting a truly memorable soundtrack to a horror movie. The most common approach is a generic
orchestral score with the jump scares punctuated with a sudden hit of strings. It’s become so commonplace that we’ve grown to expect it. But I would like to highlight five times where
the soundtrack is just as much a work of art as the movie itself.

Suspiria Suspiria is about an American ballet student who travels to the Black Forest of Germany to train at a prestigious dance academy. However, the academy is actually a coven of witches. The soundtrack was composed by the Italian rock band Goblin, and it is positively primal in the way that it gets under your skin. A mixture of pounding
drumbeats and shrieking vocals gives way to the hypnotizing beauty of a celeste, which then gives way to the whispered ramblings of a madman.

Knight knows road to recovery OU captain lived the struggle that injured Baylor star now faces JOE BUETTNER | ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR | @JOE_BUETTNER
T
he NCAA’s highest-scoring offense lost its commander for the remainder of the 2015 season Monday. Baylor junior quarterback Seth Russell suffered damage to the cervical vertebra late in his team’s 45–27 victory over Iowa State Saturday. The team announced that Russell will undergo a season-ending neck surgery that commonly requires a recovery period of six months. Before a decision was made on Russell’s season, however, Baylor coach Art Briles received a text message from Norman, Oklahoma. Following OU’s win over Texas Tech, George Knight, father of Trevor and Connor Knight, was at dinner with his sons Saturday evening. As news spread of Russell’s injury, George texted the Bears’ head coach that he and his sons said prayers for the Baylor first-year starter. Briles immediately replied with his appreciation. George Knight knows better than anyone what it’s like to see someone close to him deal with a traumatic neck injury. During the fourth quarter of Oklahoma’s home game against Baylor on Nov. 8, 2014, George witnessed his son Trevor take a potentially career-ending sack.
THE INJURY
JOE BUETTNER/THE DAILY
Junior Trevor Knight points to the sky following an OU touchdown on Oct. 17, 2015. Oklahoma beat Kansas State following its loss to Texas on Oct. 10.
Being
NUMBER ONE is nothing to celebrate.
As Baylor led Oklahoma by 27 points, a mob of Baylor defenders brought down then-sophomore Trevor Knight deep in his own backfield on a broken fourth-and-two play. His father was in attendance, and he vividly recalls the sight of his son unable to get up and struggling to move his arms, he said. “It was a horrible feeling,” George Knight said in a phone interview Monday. “I shot up out of my seat and got down to the entrance of the locker room right away.” As Trevor Knight prepared to be carted off the field, his brother and fraternal twin Connor Knight was joined by a few Baylor players. Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty and offensive linemen Spencer Drango and Tyler Edwards kneeled with the Oklahoma tight end and lowered their heads in prayer as Connor Knight was unable to be with his brother with 11 minutes remaining in the lopsided game. “It’s always scary seeing something like that happen to someone you’re so close to, and really, anybody that you’re playing with,” Connor Knight
said. “You see a big injury, and it just kind of shakes you up for a minute. “Especially with him, just seeing him go down, I couldn’t go with him. I couldn’t see if he was all right.” Trevor Knight was eventually taken to Oklahoma’s training room, where his father was waiting inside. As the cart approached the facility, George Knight couldn’t see his son with so many people surrounding the cart. But then he heard a familiar voice. “Dad! Dad! I’m okay! I’m okay!”
THE FRIENDSHIP Had Trevor Knight’s road to recovery not gone so smoothly, he might have not met Seth Russell. Trevor Knight was invited for a second time to the Manning Passing Academy this past summer. He knew of the Baylor quarterback, but it wasn’t until their time in Thibodaux, Louisiana, that they met and bonded. “We pretty much hung out the whole time,” Trevor Knight said. “The cool thing about that camp is you get to know those guys really well in a short period of time. We hung out the whole weekend.” The two were able to learn under NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning and a few more of the game’s best minds. Since their time at camp, the two quarterbacks have experienced very different seasons. They both currently play for a top-15 team, but Trevor is once again in a backup role, while Russell is lighting up secondaries in his first year as Baylor’s starter. The Bears’ gunslinger threw for 2,104 yards and an NCAAbest 29 passing touchdowns in only seven games. Their friendship made the news of Russell’s injury all the more disheartening for Trevor Knight. “You hate to see that happen to a guy, especially a guy like that — a guy that I know, and a guy that’s playing so well,” Trevor Knight said. “You don’t want to see him go down like that. It’s just a really unfortunate deal.”
THE RETURN Baylor will now have to rely on freshman quarterback Jarrett Stidham, but Russell will still have another shot next year to bounce back. Trevor Knight knows that situation well. His path at OU has taken several turns, but he’s
always been able to recover from adversity. He was injured several times as a first-year starter in 2013. Despite those setbacks, the then-redshirt freshman fueled Oklahoma’s Sugar Bowl win over Alabama. Fast forward to this year. Trevor Knight was named a team captain for the second time despite a difficult end to his 2014 campaign. And while it’s Baker Mayfield in the starting quarterback role, Trevor Knight is just enjoying getting back on the field. “It’s awesome. Any time you get a chance to play, you try to make the most of it,” Trevor Knight said. “That’s what you come to a place like this for. That’s what you play college football for — to get in the game and do big things.” Part of Trevor Knight’s resilient demeanor comes from his constant positive mood. His father said he’s always been a positive person. Other players’ parents have also noticed Trevor Knight’s positive spirit. “He’s never in a bad mood,” senior Sterling Shepard said. “My mom says that all the time. She’s like, ‘Trevor is just so happy at all times,’ and that’s just the type of person he is. No matter the situation or what happens, he’s all going to have that happy attitude.” Trevor Knight’s current role may be different. But postgame interactions haven’t felt any different for his father, who has watched OU the past few weeks rise up from its loss to Texas. Oklahoma boasts a 6-1 record with November approaching, and the Sooners control their own destiny in terms of a Big 12 championship. Trevor Knight will continue to prepare himself for his moment when it presents itself. And not even one year later after his scary injury, he has moved on and is relishing his opportunity to play for Oklahoma. “I don’t ever really think about that injury anymore,” Trevor Knight said. “It was just kind of one of those deals. It happened, and then (I) moved on. It’s not something that sits in the back of my head or anything like that. “Hopefully, that’ll be the same with Seth. Hopefully he can get back there soon because he’s going to have a heck of a career ahead of him.”
