Sooners conquer VolunteersWomen’s World Series open Thursday, OU determined for a repeat victory.

MIKAELA MCGHEESports Reporter@mikcatcher

After a three-game series against the Tennessee Volunteers, the Oklahoma Sooners are headed back to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City to defend the national title they won last year at ASA Hall of Fame Complex. Going into the upcoming series, the No. 7 Sooners have a 50-11 record.

“I have to start by saying we give God the glory for this win and this opportunity to play on a day of such tough competition,” coach Patty Gasso said. “We saw this team come together and give it all they had freely and with determination. I’m very proud of the effort.”

If the Sooners play in the series like they did against Tennessee, then OU might just be crowned national cham-pions for the third time since 2000, when the Sooners won their first national championship.

The Sooners have several returning players who are prepared for the road to another title. A key player miss-ing from last year’s lineup is stand-out pitcher and hitter, Keilani Ricketts who started 208 of 220 games during her time at OU. Ricketts hit .334 with 156 RBI. Time will only tell if the Sooners will bring another trophy back to Norman after this tournament.

The Sooners still havr Lauren Chamberlain who has been consistent. Against Tennessee she went 3-4 with 2

RBIs. Chamberlain’s defense has also been great this season with a .988 fielding percentage.

More big playmakers for the Sooners are junior Callie Parsons and sophomore Erin Miller, who hit .500 against the Volunteers. Miller and Parsons both have experience that will serve them well this week when they travel to Oklahoma City.

What helped the Sooners dominate Tennessee and what will help them in the future is the teams ability to score. OU had 13 hits off 31 at-bats against the Volunteers, hitting .419 as a team. Numbers like that are undeniable.

Not only is OU remarkable of-fensively but defensively, as well. Against Tennessee, Kelsey Stevens was on the mound for OU. There she threw 115 pitches in 7 innings, had 5 strikeouts and only allowed 2 runs, one of which was an earned run.

“I felt like I was keeping the hitters off balance and making them work for every out,” Stevens said. “It was really the same game plan coming in and just controlling the at-bat. I just

felt really confident.”The Sooners have proven themselves to be tough competi-

tion as they head to Oklahoma City, where they will face No. 2 Alabama at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

OU softball players rush the field to celebrate with their team-mates after their win in 2013 at the Women’s College World Series at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. So far this year, Oklahoma is 6-4 after playing at the Easton Tournament in Fullerton, Calif, and the Littlewood Classic in Phoenix, Ariz.

Race for the open seatSenatorial Primary

Six senatorial candidates hope to win Tom Coburn’s vacant office

James Lankford

Kevin Crow

Randy Brogdon

Constance Johnson

Former Falls Creek Youth Camp director, current U.S. Representative and University o f Te x a s g r a d u a t e , Ja m e s Lankford has vowed to continue in Congressman Coburn’s footsteps. “I am w i l l i n g t o wage a hard-fought campaign for the opportunity to con-tinue Dr. Coburn’s conservative legacy,” said Lankford. He has been praised for his diligent community activism, all while representing Oklahoma in Washington D.C. much of the year.

Lankford was an integral part of the budget impasse, causing the government shutdown. However, voters in Oklahoma could have seen this as a positive since it was a political grandstand against President Obama’s agenda. Lankford has been the odds-on favorite to secure the Senate seat.

The youngest Speaker of the House in Oklahoma history, T.W. Shannon has garnered endorsements from Republican heavy-hitters such as Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2006, representing District 62.

Shannon’s past work history includes chief administrative

Jason Weger, current para-medic and EMS instructor, holds a B.S. from the University of Oklahoma and expects an M.P.A. in Public Policy in May 2014. Weger is a conservative Republican and advocates a small government. He proposes cutting all federal programs by 20 percent and says he will not accept a full salary if elected.

Dr. Kevin Crow teach-e s a w i d e v a r i e t y o f courses at the University o f S c i e n c e s a n d A r t s o f Oklahoma. Many are political-ly historical including “The Roman R e p u b l i c , ” “ P o l i t i c a l G e o g r a p h y of the Modern World,” and “Ideology and Mass Culture in the Modern World.” He has been recognized as an outstand-ing teacher, having won the Regents Award for Superior Teaching in 2008 and 2010.

Constance Johnson, the lone Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat, was first elected to the Oklahoma State Senate in 2005. Born in Holdenville, Okla., she earned a full scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. She was featured on the Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show” for advocating women’s reproductive rights in Oklahoma, leading to the defeat of the “Personhood” Bill (SB 1433). She is a mother of three and a new grandmother. She focuses on giving back to the community and is active in PTA.

A special election on June 24, 2014, will fill the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Tom Coburn. In November 2013, Coburn announced he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, forcing him to retire two years before his term ended.

Deadline to register for this election is May 30, 2014.The election will include six candidates: Republicans

James Lankford, T.W. Shannon, Jason Weger, Kevin Crow, Randy Brogdon and Democrat Constance Johnson.

officer for the Chickasaw Nation, field representative for for-mer Rep. Watts and served the same position for Rep. Tom Cole. Shannon champions conservative values, advocating small government. He is James Lankford’s strongest compe-tition to fill the seat.

Jason Weger

T.W. ShannonA former state senator,

Randy Brogdon was brief-ly a Republican candidate for Governor of Oklahoma before returning donations to run for U.S. Senate. He has previous-ly served on the Appropriations Committee, as Chair of General Government and Transportation Subcommittee, on theBusiness and Labor Committee and as the Vice Chair

of Energy and Environment Committee. Brogdon was the closest Republican to Mary Fallin in the 2010 Republican Gubernatorial Primary with 39.4 percent of the votes.

Who’s who? Six candidates vie for their chance to be Oklahoma’s next governor

Incumbent Gov. Mary Fallin will be running for reelection to a second term in office.

According to her campaign website, since her first appoint-ment to off ice, she has bal-anced the budget, restored the Oklahoma savings account and increased education funding while managing to cut taxes. However, the not-so independent investigations of the botched ex-ecution, the minimum wage hike bans and Fallin’s cutting of vari-ous agencies in next year’s budget are unpopular and could cost her votes.

Ewbank is a Republican candi-date who is known as a technolo-gy professional and a Libertarian activist. Ewbank is a former pastor and believes the role of Church and State are different.

His campaign platform consists of two principles: “Do everything you have agreed to do,” and, “Do not encroach on other people or their property,” according to his campaign website.

For Dax Ewbank, “Liberty is the issue,” according to his cam-paign website. Other than lib-erty, though, he believes the state income tax should be abol-ished, and he would like to return healthcare back to the free mar-ket. Ewbank also tackles issues like education, state sovereign-ty and individual liberties in his platform.

Moody, another Republican candidate, is an attorney and a marijuana legalization activist.

His campaign slogan is “God, grass and guns,” according to his alliterative billboard adver-tisement. Moody believes that non-violent offenders who are in prison for smoking mari-juana should not be there. He also thinks law-abiding citizens should be able to carry guns with-out a permit or a license.

Moody has no campaign web-site but can be found on both Facebook and Twitter.

Dorman is the only Democratic c a n d i d a t e o f t h e e l e c t i o n . Dorman, a state representative and a former state legislative aide, expressed his reasons for running on his campaign website: “I love Oklahoma. I love this land. I love her beauty. I love her diversity. And most of all, I love her people.”

The main issue Dorman is fo-cusing on is education. Dorman doesn’t support the Common Core State Standards Initiative, the education policy champi-oned by the National Governors Association, but says it’s up to the local schools, bipartisan leader-ship to decide.

Prawdzienski is the former chair of the Oklahoma Libertarian Party.

He was also an independent candidate for lieutenant gover-nor in 2010 and for the state sen-ate seat for District 41, which in-cludes Edmond, in 2012.

Prawdzienski is a supporter of individual rights and limited gov-ernment. He said that individuals should have the right to control their lives as long as it doesn’t forcibly interfere with others. He also said there should be a debate on the issues related to immigra-tion. He is the second pro-legal-ization candidate on this list.

Though Prawdzienski does not have his own campaign web-site, his platform has been dis-cussed in an interview with red-dirtreport.com. His campaign’s Facebook page includes his biog-raphy and hosts a treasure trove of Prawdzienski’s political opinions.

Willis is a former educator and currently an owner of a small business. According to her cam-paign website, she, like a majori-ty of the candidates, would like to focus on education and advocates against using the Common Core in classrooms.

As a cancer survivor, Willis is also very interested in health care. She believes that prevention and wellness, not expensive treat-ments, are the best way to revamp the current system. Willis also ad-vocates a pre-HMO health care service that balances both con-temporary medical advances and alternative treatments.

Willis’ campaign message is “Balance.” She asserts that once Oklahoma is able to find bal-ance in these key issues, we will boost our economy and come up with new solutions for age-old problems.

Come for Shakespeare, stay for the castMay 28-June 3, 2014

Brandon GalushaLife & Arts Reporter

Shakespeare is a man of many words, and “Henry V” is full of them. Featuring an incredible director and a stellar cast, “Henry V” conquered my approval.

There are several things Tyler Woods, the director, can do with elegance. Woods understands how to bring Shakespeare to life and capture the ambience of war and unity. Not only was the direction for the actors good, but the stage direction was superb as well.

The use of the pillars on the four corners of the stage was surprisingly effective. The pillars changed positions through-out the play as the setting changed.

No offense to Woods, whose directing was remarkable, but I would have bought a ticket just to see Andrew Rathgeber and Jeremy Eoff. These two wonderful actors were meant for the spotlight.

Rathgeber, who portrayed Henry V, was made to give a Shakespearean soliloquy. This leading man definitely set the tone for the entire play. Much like the character he portrayed, Rathgeber radiated courage and unified the entire cast with his performance.

Watching Rathgeber portray Henry as he glided around the stage from nearly every angle, trying to win the affection of Catherine, was hysterically perfect.

Much like Rathgeber, Eoff’s performance was spectacular.Eoff, who portrayed Lord Scroop and Louis the Dauphin

of France, was perhaps my favorite actor of the play. He may not have been the lead, but his performance was nothing short of spectacular. His non-verbal scenes, in which he was a minor character, were just as riveting as the scenes in which he captivated the audience with words. I can still picture Eoff’s portrayal of disgust as Louis the Dauphin of France and Catherine kissed hello. It was a truly wonderful performance.

My only complaint was that Act 2 felt a little drawn out and slow at times, but for the most part, the play was outstanding.

“Henry V” is a journey full of family, country and honor that transcends history. It is definitely worth your time to ex-perience the creative mind of Tyler Woods and the wonderful acting that compliments it even further.

For those wishing to attend the play, tickets for the play can be purchased online at reduxiontheatre.com. The Reduxion Theatre is located at 914 N. Broadway Ave. in Oklahoma City.

If you would like to see more of Woods’ great directing, he will be working on “Lysistrata”, which will come to the Redux Theatre on August 8. Rathgeber will be on a nine-week tour across Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming and Washington playing Mercutio in “Romeo and Juliet” and Touchstone in “As You Like It.”
