The film “For the Bible Tells Me So” will screen at 7 p.m. today in Meacham Auditorium at the Oklahoma Memorial Union. It is hosted by the Women’s Outreach Center and the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Friends student organization and will be followed by a panel discussion. The film examines five families with homosexual children and how homosexuality has affected the family members’ lives, religions and relationships. Kathy Moxley, director of the Women’s Outreach Center, said both organizations feel this is an important issue and the film will compel students to explore their own values and upbringing. “We hope people take advantage of this being shown on our campus,” Moxley said. The panel will be comprised of Rev. Amy Venable of St. Stephens United Methodist Church in Norman; Barbara Boyd, director of OU Religious Studies; and Rev. Loyce Newton-Edwards, an associate pastor in Oklahoma City. “The speakers will be able to demonstrate that there are a lot of religions open and accepting to all individuals,” Moxley said. Boyd said she has not seen the film, but her faith teaches her to love and accept people, not judge them. “What they’ve asked me to do is to respond to the film, which will give me [something] to talk about,” Boyd said.

Bette Scott, director of Career Services, teaches etiquette to students from the Honors College in a manners symposium Friday afternoon in the Henderson-Tolson Cultural Center. The lecture focused on proper manners during meals in an effort to prepare students for life after college.

Career Services is doing its part to disprove the adage “chivalry is dead.” Friday afternoon, the director of OU Career Services, Bette Scott, led 20 Honors College students through a two-and-a-half hour crash course in professional dining etiquette as part of the Joe C. and Carole Kerr McClendon Honors College’s first Effective Professional Self Presentation Symposium. “Since there are people who are hired to do what

I do in corporate America, then that means that you (as entrants into the job market) should realize how important it is,” Scott said to the students. She said her experience has taught her the importance of etiquette. She leads similar programs for the College of Law, the College of Earth and Energy and the Athletic Department. Major corporations have also hired her to teach professional manners to their new recruits. International and area studies senior Danielle Hardré attended a similar program three years ago, but wanted a refresher course to boost her confidence. “I’m so glad etiquette hasn’t disappeared,” she said. “I just like feeling classy and knowing what to do in a professional situation.” The rules of etiquette have changed so much since
