Football season ticket sales lower than expected

Two Oklahoma

State professors are revolutionizing the way human waste is disposed, and they are doing it right beneath your feet.

In the base-ment of Engineer-

ing North its an inven-tion that will disinfect

and dewater feces. It is the creation of OSU chemical

engineering professors Gary Foutch and AJ Johannes, who,

with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, have

built a small-scale device that could impact the welfare and

livelihood of countless people living in developing countries.

“Basically, this is not a new concept,” Foutch said. “We are just extending the tech-nology into a new area.”

Foutch said that in many developing countries there are community latrines, which are essentially out-houses with a pit in the ground beneath them. These pits have to be cleaned out and transported often or they will fill up with too much waste.

Foutch and Johannes said they believe their invention will

offer a safer, cleaner and more useful solution to this prob-

lem.“It’s using the concept of viscous heating to de-

stroy organisms and then take what-

ever solid waste is left and

make it

safe for transportation or subsequent handling without spreading disease,” Foutch said. “Instead of having a mass sitting there 24 hours a day, we can spend 10 minutes disinfecting it.”

Foutch said many places in developing countries are trying to integrate the reuse of the treated waste into their economy.

“(It can be used) either as a poten-tial energy source, using solid waste as a source for energy, or used back in agricul-ture,” he said.

Foutch and Johannes are longtime pro-fessors at the university, both beginning their work at OSU in the early 1980s.

The professors began designing the de-vice about a year and a half ago, after re-ceiving a Grand Challenges Explorations grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

“The original idea was all Gary’s,” Jo-hannes

s a i d , “ I n fact, he came up to me one day and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got this great idea.’”

The highly prestigious grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has helped the professors immensely, while also producing widespread attention for

their creation.

Foutch and Johannes were chosen from thou-sands of applicants for the funding and were invited to attend the Re-invent the Toilet Fair in Seattle in early August.

“There were many different groups there, and we were the only ones do-ing something like this,” Foutch said.

Where most groups at the fair were trying to reinvent the common household toilet using every-thing from nanoparticles to so-lar energy, Foutch and Johannes

were showing their unique de-vice, which Johannes says is

a case of finding a “simple solution to a complex prob-

lem.”“We don’t think this is

going to replace any toilets here in the U.S.,” Johannes added, “although Dr. Foutch and I have talked about other applications, such as feed lots.”

As the long, cylindrical device hums into a repeti-tive rumble, Foutch elabo-

WONDERtorium sees high turnoutBy ALexA IvIns

Campus Recreation Reporter

Free admission to the Okla-homa WONDERtorium was one incentive that drew in a whopping 1,043 visitors on La-bor Day.

Executive Director Ruth Cavins said diversity was appar-ent on the holiday.

“The day’s visitors consisted of people from 41 different zip codes, which included 35 Oklahoma cities and towns, as well as a number of people from states in addition to Oklahoma including: Texas, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas and Georgia,” she said.

For many, it was their first time to see the new Oklahoma children’s museum.

Lynda Halley, the museum’s PR and marketing coordinator, said the turn out on Labor Day is a true indicator of how much North Central Oklahoma is benefiting from a children’s museum.

Halley said the workers at the museum were not sure how good the turnout would be.

“We were skeptical about what our attendance would be this summer because the school year months are when we have the most field trips,” she said. “We had projected and bud-geted for the years’ attendance at 13,500 people, but by March we had already met that goal. Today our total attendance is more than 40,000 and they year isn’t up yet.”

The WONDERtorium chil-dren’s museum has been open since October 2011 and aims to inspire curiosity and learn-ing through play with its 14 different hands-on, interactive exhibits. Included in them, is the Generation Station Barn exhibit where children can milk a cow and collect eggs to be delivered to the Generation Station Store, which is another exhibit of a 1900s style general store.

Also featured at the museum, is a medical center where the children can play by dressing up

and pretending to be a patient or medical staff. There is an of-fice to check in patients, a pre-tend surgery area with a dummy of the human body that has re-movable organs, and a nursery area where life-like babies can be cared for.

The rest of the museum is home to an array of other play areas like the A-Mazing Air-ways station, where kids engage in physical activity by sending scarves and foam balls shooting through air duct tubes or splash about at the Water Play exhibit. There is a Forest Playground exhibit that holds a climbing a wall, a tree slide and a hollow log.

“Exhibits like these that meet school PASS objectives and prompt imaginative play is beneficial because imaginative and interactive play has been shown to enhance cognitive development in children,” Hal-ley said.

The Oklahoma WONDER-torium is at 308 W. Franklin Lane in Stillwater (just north of the Stillwater High School

football stadium). Hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.

Admission is $6 per person plus tax or $4 per person for groups larger than 12. Ame-

nities offered include: mem-bership/group rates, room and facility rentals, and rental space for birthday parties or field trips for schools, clubs and social groups.

For more information, con-

tact the WONDERtorium at 405-533-3333 or view their website at www.okwonderto-rium.org for upcoming sched-uled events.

The summer of the “Dark Knight” has concluded.

After the wake of the May release of the “Avengers,” Chris-topher Nolan won the crown for biggest summer impact.

Numerous flops happened in between the release of those films, kid’s films, game-changers and whole lot of mediocre. Tech-nically, “Men in Black” falls un-der the superhero category, but was unable to deliver the punch “Avengers,” “Dark Knight” and “Spiderman” all enforced.

In accumulation, films that flopped this summer including “Chernobyl Diaries,” “Piranha 3D,” “Rock of Ages,” “That’s My Boy,” “Witness Protection” and “The Watch,” which earned a combined $190 million at the box office. Comparing that to the “Avengers” and “Dark Knight Rises,” which racked up $2.4 billion, it looked as if the summer in general was a flop when looking at the dollar signs. Two movies should not carry an entire four-month period.

The cultural impact of the summer was the polar opposite of a flop. We saw the “Avengers” explode on the scene and create a buzz about the future of super-hero films and the new age of audience approval.

Then, to wrap up the sum-mer, The “Dark Knight” crushed all successors in the superhero genre with Nolan’s final piece in his “Batman” universe. His dark resurgence of the character has

left future “Batman” writers cry-ing in its wake.

Without even mentioning the $700 million “The Amaz-ing Spider-Man” brought in, the super hero scene made this summer bearable at the movies. Without these three films, we as an audience would have had to pump ourselves up for “Ice Age: Continental Drift.”

Compared to the mediocre super hero performances last year, we had an excellent sum-mer at the theater. “Thor,” “X-Men First Class,” “Green Lan-tern,” and “Captain America” all were released last summer. The buzz for these films lacked something special that we found this summer. Both the “Thor” and “Captain America” origin films were solely made to gain audience recognition for the “Avengers” that would release a year later.

Films such as “Madagascar 3,” “That’s My Boy,” and “Abra-ham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” leave us wondering, why?

As we bask in the glory of this summer’s blockbuster hero stories, we should not forget the summer we had in 2008. “Iron Man,” “Indian Jones,” “Speed Racer,” “Incredible Hulk,” “Hancock,” Guillermo Del Toro’s conclusion of the “Hell-boy” franchise, and “The Dark Knight” were all released in the three-month span totaling $3.5 billion.

Compared to that, we had a less than stellar viewing ex-perience this summer, but the public doesn’t agree. According to IMDb, 60 percent of view-ers were satisfied with the hero movies in 2008 versus the 88.5

percent of viewers satisfied with this summer’s hero films.

Technically, this summer was better than last summer when it came to film income and culture relevance, but we cannot for-get the films that defined last summer such as “Bridesmaids” and “The Help” that resulted in a resurgence of strong lead-ing roles by women. That, as we saw, reflected at the Oscars with “The Help’s” Octavia Spencer winning best actress in a sup-porting role and “Bridesmaids” being recognized for the original screenplay.

The combined gross for last summer’s super hero films calcu-lated a $1.4 billion stream. This summer, the heroes brought in half of that in their respected opening weekends. Obviously, the bar for next summer has been set.

Even so, next summer may surprise a few people with “Iron Man 3,” “Star Trek 2,” “Man of Steel,” and the “Wolverine” all looking to make an impact in the new culture of “Nolanized” heroes.

THEATER TALK

By AMy JensOn

General Assignment Reporter

On Sept. 11, 2001, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center Towers in New York City.

The crash killed 2,792 people, 343 being firefight-ers and paramedics, accord-ing to NYmag.com.

Tim Greene, a student at Columbia University, was going uptown to Columbia when the first plane hit.

“I watched both towers fall on television,” Greene said. “At the time, it looked like an atomic bomb had been dropped on lower Manhattan. I thought to myself, I just watched both my friends die.”

Teresa Shahadi, a family member of someone in New York City during the crash, said she saw a friend she knew get carried out dead.

Mona Barrios, a family member of someone in New York City, said she could see the smoke rising from where the towers used to stand.

The ironic thing about 9/11 was that it was a beau-tiful day, everyone was out-side and kids were playing just a few miles south of the crashes, Greene said. He saw people running uptown covered in ash.

Barrios said at first she felt disbelief. Then helpless-ness. Then fear as the events of the day unfolded. Won-dering what would be next.

It was important to go

back to work in the city and not be afraid, Greene said.

Emile Shahadi, a family member of someone in New York City during the crash, said Americans have a great spirit to rise to any chal-lenge or crisis that we face.

It took eight and a half hours to get home from the city the day of the crash, Greene said.

“My most vivid memory from that day was taking the ferry across the Hud-son River,” Greene said. “Everyone was silent and just looking at the huge column of dust and smoke from downtown. We sat in the middle of the river for a while, which gave us a lot of time to look at one of the most terrible things to have ever happened. I could hear a woman sitting behind me praying.”

The crash initially brought the U.S. together, Shahadi said.

“I’m not a huge sports fan but I will never forget that year’s world series,” Greene said. “I watched a few games at a bar in the city and there was something very special about the time. People came together and had an enor-mous sense of pride for New York and our country.”

A few days after the crash someone had written on a window covered in dust, Greene said. It read, “This is my home, this is where I work and I am never leav-ing.”

You probably didn’t see it be-cause they refused to show it to you, but it was terrible.

I’m never one to put it all on referees. I’m not that kind of person, and I don’t take “They lost because of the refs!” lightly, but in this case, I’ll go there.

The Pac-12 Conference referees that called Saturday’s game cost Oklahoma State the game.

Arizona played a brilliant game. Their offense kept the

Cowboy defense honest with short plays, and never gave them a chance to force the game-changing turnover that they made a living off of.

Was that enough to win the game? I don’t think so. The fact Oklahoma State jumped to a 14-0 lead without even break-ing a sweat says that.

But right after that 14-0 lead was when Shawn Hochuli decided he’d play and Arizona won.

Its best players were wearing stripes.

Hochuli and his goons threw 15 flags on the Cowboys, result-ing in a school-record 167 yards in penalties. The same team that had one flag for five yards in the 2011 Fiesta Bowl somehow managed to rack up one-tenth of a mile in penalty yardage, ac-cording to the Pac-12 crew.

On the other sideline, Ari-zona had a whopping four flags for 27 yards.

It all started when coach

Mike Gundy questioned a call early in the game. Arizona had 12 players on the field, but it wasn’t called and Gundy ques-tioned it.

It was there on the replay. The rule states that the player must have both feet out of bounds to be considered out of the play.

Arizona’s player was about three steps onto the gridiron and Gundy demanded a review. It was granted, and the camera shot showed Hochuli visibly annoyed.

On the next play, Hochuli called holding against Okla-homa State.

Then the onslaught of ques-tionable, and frankly terrible, calls began.

At the end of the first quar-ter, the game clock had expired for more than three seconds, yet Hochuli and his crew allowed Arizona, who had just entered the red-zone, to run a play.

The play was a fade up the

left side, and the replay on the broadcast showed the Arizona receiver clearly landing out of bounds.

Hochuli’s side-judge called it a touchdown, but it was re-viewed. It was somehow still ruled a touchdown, but eventu-ally wiped off of the scoreboard due to the game clock running down.

How hard is it to watch the game clock? Not that hard. Myself and Oklahoman col-umnist Berry Tramel both saw it expire in the box in the box, yet Hochuli and his crew who are being paid to watch for that completely missed it.

Then there was Calvin Bar-nett.

At one point, the defensive tackle was called for roughing the passer, a 15-yard infraction. That was the right call.

While on the ground, Ari-zona quarterback Matt Scott wrapped his legs around Bar-nett, and both had trouble get-

ting up.Was Scott fragrantly at-

tempting to draw another flag? I don’t know. It’s tough to say if that was the case because I’m not Matt Scott.

But players both were having trouble getting up, and the ref-eree called one on Barnett. The combined calls resulted in a 30-yard swing of field position, and eventually an Arizona score.

Oklahoma State tried to an-swer. The Pokes faced a third-and-10, and quarterback Wes Lunt threw to his right, com-pleting a pass for a first down.

Hochuli would have none of it. His back judge called hold-ing against the Cowboys on a defender more than thirty yards away from the play that had no effect on the play’s outcome.

Terrible.OSU didn’t play a perfect

game, I’m not saying that. A good number of the penalties were probably the right call. But not 15. Especially when so

many of them were judgment calls.

The Pac-12 Conference’s rule says that if the game is at a Pac-12 site, their referees call the game. In this instance, it was a one-sided, blatant attack against Oklahoma State, and the Pac-12 Conference should be embarrassed.

Forget that the Pac-12 re-fused to show the game in the state of Oklahoma unless the provider bought the season rights to the conference net-work (Why would we want that here?), that wasn’t enough.

Their crew then proceeded to screw Oklahoma State out of a football game. The same team that almost joined their confer-ence last offseason.

The Pac-12 should be em-barrassed, and Hochuli’s junior-varsity crew should be calling junior-varsity games until they figure it all out.

All it takes is a single strike of a match.

Oklahoma State (1-1) lost a heartbreaker in Tucson to Ari-zona, and it was in the locker room after that defensive end Cooper Bassett said the match was lit. He said he believes he knows exactly who was to blame for the Cowboys’ struggles.

“The coaches do a great job week in and week out. We, as players, have to take over and take ownership of it and do our part,” Bassett said. “We didn’t do our part last week. The big thing is, being embarrassed like we were, it’s going to light a fire underneath all of us and get us refocused.”

As the No. 24 Wildcats (2-0) celebrated their victory, receiver Josh Stewart said the somber-ness of the Cowboy locker

room after the game is definitely something he won’t forget any-time soon, but that’s not always a bad thing.

“Being OSU, the big pro-gram, and to lose that game, it really hurt,” Stewart said. “Like last time at Iowa State, that lit a fire. I think it’s the same feel-ing. We don’t like losing. It really motivates us to work harder and be a better team.”

Stewart said while listening to the coaches this week will be important, it’ll be the attitude of him and his teammates that will be the ultimate factor.

“We can’t walk around like ‘We’re OSU’ and play like we did last year every game,” Stew-art said. “Right now, we have a lot of people doubting us, and it’s not a good feeling.”

Bassett said he knows how the feeling of defeat affects the determination going into the next game, and if his teammates don’t feel the same way, they

should rethink their priorities.“That’s one good thing you

can pull away from being em-barrassed at Arizona, it’s that everyone should be refocused this week,” he said. “If you’re not, then you need to check your pads back in and not be part of this team.”

Running back Jeremy Smith said he is trying to use all the pain and doubts to fan the flames underneath him and his teammates. Smith said that they need to take a step back and rec-ognize the players they can be.

“To know that you’re the team that you think you are and to go out there and let that hap-pen, it just really kills you inside,” Smith said. “Knowing the team we have, there’s so much talent and so many great guys on the team. Coach (Mike) Gundy’s going to be on us and we knew that was going to happen, but we’ve got to keep fighting.”

Bassett warned, however, that

Gundy might be the least of his teammates problems as they prepare for the next game.

“I’m probably not going to be the most pleasant person to be around this week at practice,” Bassett said. “But whatever it takes, I want all our guys to re-member what it felt like in the locker room at Arizona.”

Throughout the season, multiple players have stepped up and showcased their skills. One of the key players who has helped the Cowgirls soc-cer team remain hot has been forward Megan Marchesano. A senior from Bixby, Marche-sano has provided great lead-ership and spark to the team.

“She’s leading the line for us, she’s the most experienced attack player that we have, we’ve asked Megan to take on a lot of responsibility, and she’s risen to the challenge,” Carmichael said.

Recently, Marchesano was honored with the Colleg-eSoccer360.com primetime performer for her achieve-ments during week three. The streak stayed alive as she scored another goal in the Cowgirls’ win on Sunday against Rice.

“Great goal today,” Car-michael said. “She created so much for us, her hold up play and work ethic was tre-mendous. She’s been brilliant all year, I think she’s done a great job.”

Marchesano leads the team in goals (5), points (12) and game winning goals (3). She is also leading the Big 12 in game winning goals and is tied for fourth in goals and points. She said she hopes to remain consistent and pro-vide leadership to this young team as the Cowgirls contin-ue on their journey to another Big 12 championship.

Similar to Arizona, Okla-homa State is playing Loui-siana-Lafayette for the third consecutive season. The Ragin’ Cajuns have given the Cow-boys fits, particularly in 2010 when they led at halftime, but the talent disparity has been enough for OSU to pull away for comfortable victories.

The Ragin’ Cajuns have talent at certain positions but lack overall depth. Coach Mark Hudspeth gets the most out of his team, winning four games last season and knock-ing off Troy, one of the favor-ites to win the Sun Belt title, on the road last weekend 37-24.

Best Player— Melvin White, CB: NFL Draft Scout ranks White as the No. 14 cor-nerback prospect for the up-

coming draft. White’s cover-age skills are mediocre at best, but he makes up for it with his speed and nose for the ball. He likes to blitz off the corner and will catch runners in the backfield. He is quick to tackle opposing wide receivers when catching the ball, and he uses his hands while tackling to break up a pass.

Q u a r t e r b a c k— B l a i n e Gautier or Terrance Broad-way: Gautier started the first two games of 2012, but left the first quarter with a bruised rib. Gautier, a senior, started

last year against Oklahoma State with mixed results. He completed 13 of 16 passes for 106 yards and an interception, and the Cowboy defense pre-vented him from ever setting his feet comfortably in the pocket.

Broadway, a sophomore, sat out last season after transfer-ring from Houston after the 2010 season. He started one game in 2010, a 42-23 victory against Tulane. He is a dual-threat quarterback, the third consecutive the Cowboys will face to start the season. In

last week’s win against Troy, was 10-16 for 143 yards with a touchdown passing and ran eight times for 43 yards.

Deepest Position—Kicker: Brett Baer handles the teams’ field goal kicking and punts, similar to OSU’s Quinn Sharp. He was the most accu-rate kicker in NCAA FBS last season (18-20) and has range to make kicks longer than 40 yards. His punting skills are sharp as well, averaging more than 40 yards a punt.

Weakest Position—Sec-ondary: Outside of White, the Rajun’ Cajuns struggle at pro-tecting against the pass. Troy threw the ball 75 times for 528 yards last weekend, and Louisiana has forced only two interceptions in two games so far.

Injury Report— As men-tioned above, starting quar-terback Blaine Gautier’s status for Saturday’s game is un-

known with his bruised rib. Justin Hamilton, Lafayette’s starting nose guard, is not in-jured but was ejected in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against Troy. He could face further suspension.

Key Number—1: Number of bowl appearances in pro-gram history, last year’s 32-30 win against San Diego State in the New Orleans Bowl.

Famous Alumnus— Jake Delhomme, QB, 1993-96: Delhomme is the school’s career passing leader with 9,216 yards. A Lafayette, La. native, he led the Carolina Panthers to their only Super Bowl appearance in 2003, his first season as a starter in the NFL. He led the Panthers to the playoffs three times during his seven years as a starter and threw for 20,975 passing yards in his NFL career.

TOP5 TUESDAY

By Jonathan LacaBa

Res Life Reporter

Looking for some shut eye between classes but can’t go home? Well, here are the top five places on campus where you can get a nap.

Wes Watkins: Although it’s not in a central location and there may not be a lot of seating, it’s a pretty quiet and low-traffic area.

Human Sciences Student Lounge: Although the room may be small, nothing is better than getting a bite from The West Side Cafe and going to a quiet place for a nap.

Architecture Library: There isn’t a lot of seating, but it’s always quiet and not far away from the Business and Classroom buildings.

Student Union: There’s comfortable seating, but it can get noisy between all the people and construction.

Library: It’s always quiet on the up-per floors and there’s almost always a nice quiet nook for the taking.

O’cOllegian File PhOtO

ciara DixOn/O’cOllegianChemican engineering professor AJ Johannes shows off part of an invention that will disinfect water and feces.

This process of heating and stressing has proven to be very effective at destroying organisms and parasites within feces, with one section of 4-inch path on the device occasionally reaching temperatures near 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Foutch and Johannes have primarily used what they describe as basically a condensed miso paste to test their device, but have also received a helping hand in the form of fecal matter from an-other department at OSU.

“The key factor for us has been the focus on the destruc-tion of diseases, parasites, and parasite eggs,” Foutch said. “And as it turns out, we got particularly lucky that OSU is the national center for veterinary parasitol-ogy.”

OSU President Burns Hargis praised the work of the profes-sors, saying, “These are the type of creative ideas that Oklahoma State University not only em-

braces, but encourages. We are very proud of Dr. Foutch and Dr. Johannes and their efforts to truly make the world a better place, which truly embodies the mis-sion of a land-grant institution like OSU.”

Seattle is not the furthest from Stillwater these professors will travel though, as they look forward to soon presenting their invention halfway around the globe.

“The Gates Foundation invit-ed us to present a paper about this over in South Africa, so I’ll be go-ing (there) in the end of October,” Foutch said.

Through finding a simple solution to a complex problem, these two professors have created the opportunity for a safer and cleaner future in many develop-ing countries.
