State questions are often used as a way for citizens to propose and vote on amendments to the state constitution. In the case of controversial ques-tions, interest groups and wealthy individuals spend money to sponsor ads about them.

However, Oklahoma’s state questions this year are much less consequen-tial to the general public than they have been pre-viously, political science professor Tyler Johnson said.

“[They] aren’t contro-versial and affect very few voters,” Johnson said. “We don’t see politicians talking about them on the campaign trail, nor do we see commercials advocating voting for or against them.”

On the ballot this year are three questions: numbers 769, 770 and 771.

State Question 769An amendment to Section 12 of Article 2 of the state

constitution, it would allow holders of state office such as legislators, judges and district attorneys to simultaneous-ly serve in the National or State Guard or Reserves, as well as the reserves of any other branch of military.

State Question 770An amendment to Section 8E of Article 10 of the state

constitution, it would provide a homestead exemption to disabled veterans and their spouses. Those qualified would be able to sell the homestead and acquire another homestead property in the same calendar year.

State Question 771Adding a new Section 8F to Article 10 to the state con-

stitution, this will create a homestead exemption for the surviving spouse of military personnel who dies in the line of duty. The Department of Defense or US military would determine who qualifies.

All three questions concern people in positions of state offices, military members and their families. The ques-tions would have little to no impact on students if they pass, said Jeremiah McKinley, treasurer of the Student Veterans Association and economics and mathematics junior.

Every year at the end of September, OU gets bugs in the mail.

The bugs are sent from elementary schools across Oklahoma to be photographed and judged for The Oklahoma Microscopy Society’s Ugly Bug Contest. Winning schools receive a high-quality microscope and a science demonstration.

This is the contest’s 18th year, and OU research scientists Scott Russell and Greg Strout have been there for all of it.

Russell said the competition started when the Oklahoma Microscopy Society decided to organize outreach experiences. Nanotechnologist Paige Johnson of the University of Tulsa came up with the idea, he said.

Although OU processes the most bugs, the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma State University and Phillips 66 also photograph the ugly bug submis-sions using scanning electron microscopy.

Preston Larson, an OU research scientist, said that they use scanning electron microscopy in-stead of light microscopy to photograph the bugs because “it gives a cool view of the bugs and is something that kids are not as familiar with.”

The contest is limited to submissions from kin-dergarten through sixth grade. Part of the submis-sion is trying to identify the bug, so participants do a little research, Larson said.

“We’re trying to get kids interested in science at a

very early age,” Larson said.Typically the contest yields about 100 submis-

sions, Larson said. Russell said the number of bugs that come in is enough to keep them busy for weeks.

DAISY CREAGERNews Reporter

The German Club will host various campus events throughout next week in honor of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Although the wall did not officially fall until Nov. 9, 1989, OU is hosting events this week because the week leading up to the wall’s fall was full of important protests, German grad-uate student Andrea Bryant said.

“They were peaceful demonstrations done with candles and marches,” Bryant said. “I think it’s really powerful to think that such a tremendous event in history was done so peacefully.”

Bryant says that the fall of the wall signifies a change in people’s outlook on political events.

“I think it’s important to commemorate [it] because in a

lot of ways I think it’s when the world may have reinvented itself,” Bryant said.

Bryant also sees the events as a way to empower students.“It’s a chance for people to realize that their voices do

matter,” Bryant said.The events of the week are as follows:

• On Monday from noon to 1 p.m., Frank Usbeck, a post-doctorate research fellow from Dresden, Germany, will host a lunch talk in Hester Hall, room 145. It is ti-tled “Brothers in the Struggle against Imperialism — ‘Indianthusiasm’ in Socialist East Germany” and will dis-cuss how enthusiasm for Native Americans affected politics in Germany, Bryant said.

• On Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Ingo Schlupp, asso-ciate dean for faculty and research, and professor Mitchell Smith will host a discussion titled “Back to the GDR night” in Walker Center. They will discuss what East Germany was like before the fall of the wall, Bryant said.

AT A GLANCEWhat is a state question?Citizens can propose and vote on amendments to the state constitution in the form of a state question.

Oklahoma’s state questions this year concern people in positions of state of� ces, military members and their families.

BUGS: Winning schools to receive microscopesContinued from page 1

SHAWNTAL BROWN/THE DAILY

Scott Russell gives a closer look at the bugs plated in silver for The Oklahoma Microscopy Society’s Ugly Bug Contest. An estimated 90 elementary schools are competing in this year’s contest.

“We’ve gotten notices from the post office about smelly packages,” Russell said.

Larson handles much of the microscopy work for the contest, preparing the bugs to be imaged with the scan-ning electron microscope and then taking the perfect picture. He said he esti-mates a good picture takes 15 to 20 minutes per bug.

They then take images to the Oklahoma Microscopy Society in a fall meeting and lay out all the pictures, Larson said. Then, every-one votes on which one is the “ugliest.” The Oklahoma Academy of Sciences mem-bers also attend the meet-ings to vote, he said.

Everyone has their own criteria, Larson said. He said that his vote depends on the bug itself and the particular pose.

“I usually look for the ones that have a really inter-esting-looking personality.” Russell said. “I don’t know if they’re very ugly in my mind. I think they’re kind of neat, kind of pretty.”

After everyone picks their top choices, each school that submits a bug is sent a picture and a poster, Larson said.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen less than 75 schools competing,” said Strout. T h i s y e a r, S t r o u t e s t i -mates that 90 schools are competing.

The schools with the ugli-est bugs receive a free opti-cal microscope, a hands-on science demonstration with optical microscopes and a portable scanning electron microscope, Larson said.

Larson said that many schools don’t have any

With election day Tuesday, here are the candidates up for election and their stances on some issues:

U.S. Senate — Full TermJim Inhofe

Senator Jim Inhofe is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and he is running as a Republican for U.S. Senator of Oklahoma, ac-cording to his campaign website. Inhofe graduated from the University of Tulsa with a bachelor’s degree and was first elected to the Senate in 1994, according to the political web-site Ballotpedia.

Inhofe is regarded as one of the most conservative mem-bers of the Senate, according to his website. Though Inhofe has opposed federal student loan legislation, he did so be-cause he believes raising taxes to pay for the legislation will only hurt small businesses, according to a press release.

Addtionally, Inhofe believes in fewer restrictions on the Second Amendment, the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act and reforming Social Security.

Matt SilversteinMatt Silverstein is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is running

as a Democrat for U.S. Senator of Oklahoma, according to his website. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science.

Silverstein’s platform includes cutting wasteful govern-ment spending, supporting veterans, modernizing the U.S. military and encouraging science, technology, engineering and math education, according to his website.

U.S. Senate — Coburn Seat VacancyJames Lankford

James Lankford was born in Dallas, Texas, and current-ly resides in Edmond, Oklahoma, according to the po-litical website Ballotpedia. Lankford graduated from the University of Texas with a bachelor’s degree and from Southwestern Theological Baptist Seminary with a master’s in divinity degree.

Lankford has previously held a position in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Oklahoma’s 5th congres-sional district, according to his campaign website.

Lankford believes that the U.S. should continue to pro-duce and sell natural gas responsibly and supports the re-peal of the Affordable Care Act and reduction of restrictions on small businesses, according to his website.

Constance JohnsonConnie Johnson grew up in Oklahoma City, accord-

ing to her campaign website. Johnson graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in education, according to her website. Johnson is the democratic candidate for U.S. Senator for

microscopes at all.“The best thing is going

out after kids have won,” Strout said.

Strout and Larson often lead the science demonstra-tions at the winning schools.

Larson said he’s sure that there’s an OU student who has participated.

Strout said he hoped that by now he has met a veteran of the ugly bug contest who has become an undergradu-ate or graduate student.

“You really don’t know what these kids end up doing,” Strout said.

Overall, the researchers have probably interacted with more than 50,000 chil-dren in different Oklahoma classrooms, Strout said. In the early years, there was one winner per year, but now there are as many win-ners as the contest can fi-nancially support.

In 2013, they gave away 13 microscopes, Russell said.

Phillips 66 is the major sponsor, providing $8,000 dollars this year, Russell said. The society will cover any of the overages, which may be over $1,000.

Winners of this year ’s contest will be announced in early December, accord-ing to the contest’s website.

SCOTT RUSSELL, OU RESEARCH SCIENTIST‘‘

Total of six candidates to run for Senate and House offices in election Tuesday

Oklahoma.Johnson believes that low higher education funding caus-

es many Oklahoma college graduates to graduate with large amounts of debt, according to her website. She believes in loan forgiveness to students who will work in public educa-tion fields and those who commit to loan repayments, ac-cording to her website.

Johnson also supports reform on drug laws, increasing the minimum wage and closing the wage gap between men and women, according to her website.

U.S. House of RepresentativesBert Smith

Bert Smith is from Moore, Oklahoma, and is running as a Democrat for a seat in the House of Representatives, according to his campaign website. Smith graduated from Oklahoma State University with a B.S. in agricultur-al economics and received a M.B.A. from Oklahoma City University, according to his website.

Smith is for the Affordable Care Act and supporting mili-tary retiree’s pensions, according to his website.

Tom ColeCongressperson Tom Cole is from Moore, Oklahoma,

and is running as a Republican for his seat in the House of Representatives, according to his campaign website. Cole has a bachelor’s degree from Grinnell College, a master’s degree from Yale University and a Ph.D. from OU, and has been in Congress since 2002, according to his website.

Cole said he is an advocate for higher education, working to make sure that college is affordable for Oklahomans, ac-cording to his website. Though he supports federal student loans, he believes that they should be driven through the private sector to give students and colleges more choices, according to his website.

Cole also supports strengthening national defense, keep-ing taxes low for small businesses and free-market health care.

MONDAY, November 3, 2014

The sky is the limit for you this year. If you follow your intuition, you will make your way down a promising path. There will be many surprises and changes, but you will remain in control. You will have the most suc-cess if you are open to doing things differently.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Donʼt let lethargy drag you down. Spark your enthusiasm by taking a trip or educational course, or beginning a creative project. The longer you sit, the harder it will be to get motivated.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Look for people who share your interests. There is no shortage of groups you can investigate. Find something that appeals to you and make a point to get involved.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Problems will surface if fi nancial matters are not handled properly. Gather the relevant parties in your household and allocate who is responsible for what.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Give your morale a boost. A trip to a fl ea market or local shopping area will help to break up the routine and reduce your stress level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you spend extra time at work, make sure you clear it with someone who counts on your assistance. You will face unwanted demands if you donʼt use your time wisely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Keep your priorities in order. You have a creative project to work on, but make sure you take care of your primary responsibilities fi rst to avoid interference once you start it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You should make time for family today. If you have been too caught up with your own needs, someone you love will feel left out. A day trip will help bring you closer together.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Rely on the help of friends and relatives to help you complete everything on your to-do list. The feeling of ac-complishment will make you realize the importance of your relationships with others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You will discover some unsettling news. Donʼt judge or criticize before checking out the source of the information to determine if whatʼs being said is fact or fi ction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Resist the urge to fl are up in the heat of the moment. Jealousy will cause you to judge a situation in the wrong light. Donʼt look for problems where none exist.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A demanding family member may not be aware of your situation. Express your feelings and take a moment to re-evaluate your position. Resent-ment will ensue if you arenʼt open and forthcoming.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have several choices to make, but be-fore you take a leap of faith, ensure that you have all the information needed to make the right decision. Turning back wonʼt be an option.

Our View: We endorse Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joe Dorman and encourage our fellow Sooners to do the same.

It should be obvious to anyone who’s spent time in Oklahoma that this state is one of red politi-cal values and overwhelmingly Judeo-Christian beliefs. In political TV commercials, candidates nearly always express their Christian beliefs, dis-dain for President Obama and track record of con-servatism. But, that doesn’t mean that things can’t change. In fact, we believe it’s time for Oklahomans to try a different color and vote for democratic gu-bernatorial candidate Joe Dorman on Tuesday.

Dorman has our full support, and we urge our fellow students to learn more about his educa-tion-friendly policies. Yes, Dorman is a demo-crat, but he is far from a neoliberal. We believe Dorman has the platform and values to truly help Oklahomans, and we have endured Governor Mary Fallin’s questionable policies for far too long.

On a personal level, Dorman has our vote be-cause he actually takes the time to come speak with young voters. Dorman came to our news-room in person to discuss his platform. In addi-tion, he enthusiastically agreed to The Daily’s call for a second gubernatorial debate at OU and sends us press releases frequently. Dorman cares about young Oklahomans and has the policies to back up his support.

Education is at the forefront of Dorman’s plat-form. He plans to invest in education, improve Oklahoma’s rank as 48th in teacher pay and

engage in bipartisan agreements to improve public education. We believe education is a critical issue, not just because we’re college students, but also because education is a uni-versal ladder to improve your status in life. The quality of Oklahoma’s education directly affects the state’s future because our schools mold our leaders.

We believe Oklahoma is in desperate need of a governor with a commitment to education like Dorman. Since the start of the recession in 2008, Oklahoma has suffered the nation’s largest cuts in education spending. From 2011 to 2012 — Fallin’s first year as governor — state funding for higher education fell by 9.6 percent, even as en-rollment in Oklahoma colleges increased.

Oklahoma has largely recovered from the recession, yet Fallin and Oklahoma’s congress continue to cut education funding. The re-

sult in public schools is larger class sizes, more stress on teachers and fewer resources per stu-dent. The cuts to higher education funding have forced Oklahoma’s universities to rely heavily on tuition raises and private donors. OU President David Boren has been largely outspoken against Fallin’s policy of slashing higher education, and we agree with Boren.

It might seem far-fetched, but the winds of change just might come sweeping down the plains on Tuesday. In recent polls, Fallin leads Dorman by a margin as slim as 8 points. Dorman will have our support at the ballots Tuesday, and we encourage Sooners to consider ushering in Dorman for a new era of Oklahoma leadership.

After the loss to Kansas State two weeks ago, no one felt worse than Michael Hunnicutt. The senior kicker had missed two field goals and had an extra point blocked, all of which might have given the Sooners a win instead of falling to Kansas State at home for the sec-ond consecutive time. Saturday, H u n n i c u t t wa s b a ck to normal, hitting all eight extra points and nailing his only field goal attempt.

It took eight games, but Trevor Knight final-ly displayed what a runner he can be. On a day when his top receiving target was knocked out of the game, Knight ran for 146 yards on 16 carries with three touchdowns, which led the team. The Sooners amassed 510 rush-ing yards, the most in the Stoops era. Oklahoma had three different players rush for at least 100 yards, with Alex Ross and Samaje Perine combining for 254 rushing yards .

1. Three-headed monster

Kicker Michael Hunnicutt

Quarterback Trevor Knight

On the first play of the game, Knight hit Sterling Shepard (big surprise there) on a 46-yard pass down the sideline. Shepard came up limping a bit and had to be carted off the field and taken back to the locker room. Shepard did not re-turn to the game, but his in-jury was diagnosed as a groin strain, and he could have returned if necessary. Fortunately for the Sooners, the in-jury isn’t expected to be severe.

2. Sterling Shepard’s groin injury

The past few weeks, the Oklahoma defense has been badly exposed. But Saturday, Mike Stoops’ unit played like they did at the beginning of the season, allowing only 87 rushing yards. Led by Eric Striker, the front seven often brought different blitzes to put pres-sure on Iowa State quarterback Sam B. Richardson.

3. Defense back to normal

Oklahoma was 6-of-12 on third downs on Saturday, slightly better than they have been the past few games. But it’s the fourth and short that continues to haunt the Sooners. OU was 0-of-2 on fourth downs as the Cyclones shut down the Oklahoma of-fense twice in a row on fourth down in the second quarter. That’s some-thing that is a bit of a con-cern and shouldn’t even be difficult.

Ignore the myths and get vaccinated

Most people know about the flu vaccine, but what does it do and why is it necessary? And what about all of those infamous myths about

the vaccination?The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recom-

mends that everyone 6 months and older get the annual flu shot as early as possible to prevent the spread of the sickness. The vaccine contains inactive flu viruses that cause the body to develop antibodies.

“These antibodies provide protection against infection with the viruses that are in the vaccine,” the assistant di-rector of clinical services for OU Health Services, Maggie Pool said.

Flu season began in early October, but it is not too late to get a flu shot, as flu season can run through late May and tends to peak in January and February, according to flu.gov.

Though most people know that it is a good idea to get a shot, there are still many myths surrounding vaccination. The Daily asked Pool to debunk a few of the most popular ones.

• MYTH: The flu shot can give you the flu.o FALSE. “The flu shot is made from an inactivated virus (not a live virus) which is not infectious and cannot give you the flu. The nasal mist is actually a live virus, but it has been weakened and can’t make you sick. It was made to only cause infection in the cooler temperatures of the nose (it can’t survive in the warmer temperatures of the lungs, for example).”

• MYTH: If you got a flu shot last year, you don’t need one this year.o FALSE. “Flu strains change from year to year. Get the flu shot every year.”

• MYTH: The flu is just a severe cold.o FALSE. “While symptoms can be similar, influenza ill-ness has more risk of complications, and symptoms are more severe and longer in duration than a cold.”

• MYTH: The flu is only dangerous for children and the elderly.o FALSE. “While the flu is most risky for the elderly and young children, people with allergies are at risk for severe flu complications.”

• MYTH: If you get the flu once in a season, you can’t get it for the rest of the season.o FALSE. “Not true because flu infection can happen from more than one strain of virus.”

• MYTH: Cold weather causes the flu.o FALSE. “Not true except that during cold weather, peo-ple tend to stay indoors which makes illness transmission more likely.”

• MYTH: If you don’t get a flu shot before winter, there is no use getting one.o FALSE. “Flu vaccination should begin soon after

vaccine becomes available, ideally by October, but as long as flu viruses are circulating, even in January or later, you should still get the flu shot. While seasonal influenza out-breaks can happen as early as October, during most sea-sons, influenza activity peaks in January or later.”

Students can get a flu shot for free at Goddard Health Center while supplies last, according to their website. There is no appointment necessary for people over age 9.

Pool said that it is a good idea for students, especially those living in the residence halls, to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

“It is always important for those living in congregate liv-ing situations [to get vaccinated] since illness can spread easily from person to person,” Pool said.
