Pot petitioners seek monetary helpIssue didn’t make ballot this year, but supporters are hopeful for next yearDANA BRANHAMNews Reporter@danabranham

Although medical marijuana legalization won’t be on the state ballot in November, the group peddling the petition reg-istered over 24,000 new Oklahoma voters during their cam-paign throughout the early summer.

Once the July and August registration numbers are account-ed for, the number of new registered voters is expected to grow to over 40,000, said Chip Paul, chairperson for Oklahomans for Health, who led the petition push.

Over the summer, members from Oklahomans for Health asked citizens to sign a petition to put the issue of medical

marijuana legalization on the November ballot. The petition needed over 155,000 signatures, but thousands of signatures were rendered invalid due to improper formatting of many of the petitions, Chip Paul said.

As the signature pages came in via mail, it became “painful-ly obvious” that many of them were not properly formatted, Chip Paul said.

“There’s all these formatting rules, so if pages aren’t format-ted correctly, they’re just immediately thrown out and don’t count,” he said. “So, we have numerous amounts of those, regrettably.”

Chip Paul’s wife, Cindy Paul, who worked as the treasurer throughout the campaign, described the frustration they faced as they tried to recover from numerous invalid signatures.

HOWDY WEEK

Increase in misconduct may be because of new reporting systemGLORIA NOBLENews Reporter@glorianoble_

Over the last five years, the number of reported aca-demic misconduct case, which includes cases of cheat-ing and plagiarizing, has increased by 130 percent.

In 2008, the number of reported academic mis-conduct cases was 226. Since then, the numbers have risen every year, with the exception of 2009 when cases dipped to 220. In 2013, the number of reported cases was 520, said Breea Clark, associ-ate director of Academic Integrity Programs.

Created in 2004, the Integrity Council enables s t u d e nt s a n d f a c u l t y members to oversee and manage possible cases of academic misconduct.

Th e r i s e i n re p o r t s doesn’t necessarily mean students are cheating or plagiarizing more. Faculty and staff have told Clark they have more confidence in the new reporting system and are now more likely to re-port academic misconduct, Clark said.

Part of the system is ownership. We

are trying to make it personal. Why would you want someone to make a better

grade than you did?”BREEA CLARK,

MEGHAN WHITINGNews Reporter@heyitsmeghanwhiting

President David Boren has a new right hand man who, in the spring, was roaming the South Oval just like any other student.

Corbin Wallace was hired as the new press secretary and assistant to Boren, following the departure of previous secretary Michael Nash. Wallace graduated from the Price College of Business in May with an under-graduate degree in business administration.

At OU, the press secretary is responsible for all communication with the president’s

office. The secretary also coordinates the president’s media availability and helps other university departments work with the media, according to the official job description.

Before Wallace got the job, Bijan Hosseini, one of Wallace’s friends and fraternity broth-er, said he would joke around with Wallace and suggest he apply for the job.

“Then I remember one day Corbin came

up to me kind of smiling and told me that he had applied and gotten the position,” Hosseini said.

Wallace was a top 12 sophomore and ju-nior and named Big Man on Campus. He also volunteered at a Christian summer camp as a counselor, and served as vice president of finance and vice president of public relations in his fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon.

“I have always had a very wide range of in-terests in my life and have tried to take ad-vantage of different opportunities,” Wallace said in an email. “Since I had so many dif-ferent interests, I tried a lot of different stu-dent groups and activities out before college, which allowed me to get involved in a lot of different organizations.”

of the people who had signed to see if they would sign again,” Cindy Paul said. “It was heartbreaking, but it’s OK. That’s how we learn — by making mistakes.”

The group plans to campaign again next year, Chip Paul said.

“We’re going to be back — we’re not going anywhere,” he said. “We’ve bought some influence by virtue of the voters we’ve registered and the people who have signed the petition.”

Chip Paul said that some of the group’s shortcomings stemmed from weaknesses in fundraising and a lack of momentum in areas outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

“We started in Tulsa, we got everything rolling good. That never really even hap-pened in Oklahoma City until probably the last two or three weeks of the campaign,” he said.

Chip Paul said he would like to open offices in Oklahoma City and other larg-er metropolitan areas in Oklahoma in the future to kick off a petition drive in those areas, instead of just Tulsa.

Cindy Paul said that improvements on fundraising plans would help the group

succeed next year.“We just need better funding, we need bet-

ter people that can help out monetarily with the campaign. That would really be the best thing for us,” Cindy Paul said.

Oklahomans for Health also faced difficulty in their petition drives due to run-ins with the authorities who would ask the group mem-bers to leave, she said.

“It was disheartening,” Cindy Paul said. “You take it very personally when you’re try-ing to do something like this, and the authori-ties are making it hard for you to get what you need to do accomplished.”

Oklahomans for Health members con-tacted the American Civil Liberties Union for assistance.

“For the most part, [interference] stopped after we got loud about it and contacted the ACLU,” Cindy Paul said.

Despite the petition campaign’s shortcom-ings, Chip Paul said medical marijuana legal-ization will make it on the ballot next year.

“We just know from being out there that this is easily doable. The signatures are there. Oklahomans want this in incredibly large numbers,” he said. “There’s no question about that.”

Integrity Council cases from 2008 to 2013Each academic miscon-duct case is overseen by a group of three students and two faculty members. The group is intentional-ly comprised of more stu-dents than faculty, said Jay Vinnedge, vice president of the Integrity Council.

“We give our perspective — a student perspective,” Vinnedge said.

Part of the reason students are reporting more cases, Clark said, is because they now have the tools to report cases and they don’t want other students to have an advantage on assignments by cheating or plagiarizing.

“Part of the system is own-ership. We are trying to make it personal. Why would you want someone to make a better grade than you did?” Clark said.

NAME NAME/ORGANIZATION

Right: OU press secretary Corbin Wallace works at his desk in Evans Hall on Wednesday afternoon. Left: Corbin Wallace walks for a photo outside Evans Hall on Wednesday afternoon.

Hosseini said Wallace joined Sigma Phi Epsilon to mentor the younger men in the group.

“I really admired that most about Corbin,” Hosseini said.

Even though Wallace is new to the job, he already has something in common with his two most recent prede-cessors: they graduated from Price College of Business, too.

Blake Rambo, who served as press secretary from 2005 until 2011, graduated from the college with a business administrat ion de gre e.

Previous press secretary Michael Nash, who served from 2011 up until this past spring, graduated with a de-gree in entrepreneurship and venture management.

Nash, Wallace’s most re-cent predecessor, left the position to study law at OU Law. Wallace is not sure what he’ll do once he leaves the position.

“As for my future career, I am not sure what that will hold,” said Wallace. “So I will try and just take it one day at a time.”

our View: Parking on campus is a problem every year. Instead of complaining about it, take advantage of alternate transportation options.

The Daily reported Monday that OU’s Parking and Transportation Services is increasing parking permit prices by an average of $18 per year for stu-dent permits to help fund two new 1000-spot ga-rages that will be built in the near future. While we believe the new garages will be beneficial in the long run, we want to remind Sooners that driving and parking on campus is not their only option for making it to class.

There is much grumbling about parking at OU every semester, but complaining about parking and continuing to drive to campus every day does little to solve the problem. In fact, just because you purchased a per-mit doesn’t mean you’ll be able to find a parking spot on campus. There are 16,375 parking spots on OU’s campus, about 10,650 of which are designat-ed for student use, said Vicky Holland, Parking and Transportation Services spokesperson.

OU does not use an algorithm or formula to de-termine how many permits to sell because not all

students are parking on campus at the same time, so it would be unfair to sell permits to some stu-dents and deny permits to others, Holland said.

“If you want a parking permit, we’ll sell you one,” Holland explained. Students having difficulty find-ing parking are encouraged to return their permits and take alternate modes of transportation, such as the Lloyd Noble shuttle, which is free to all stu-dents, Holland said.

While Parking and Transportation Services is hopeful the new garages will help with the parking problem, “right now, the Lloyd Noble shuttle is your best bet if you’re having trouble parking,” Holland explained.

We have heard of students claiming they have missed class because they could not

find parking on campus, but the truth is there are many more environmentally-friendly options OU students can use to get to class on time and save gas.

For example, in addition to the Lloyd Noble shut-tle, students living at most off-campus apartments can take advantage of the free shuttle services most apartment complexes offer. Students who don’t

live near Lloyd Noble Center or at an apartment complex with a shuttle service can always use the Cleveland Area Rapid Transit bus system that ser-vices OU and the city of Norman. While taking shuttles or buses might seem like a hassle, it’s a cost-free way to get to class on time.

If hopping city buses isn’t your style, you can al-ways set up a carpool with friends. Students are much more likely to find a parking spot if they carpool than all drive separate vehicles. For more athletically inclined students, biking or walking to class is a transportation option that offers health benefits as well as savings on gas.

Instead of moaning about the permit price in-crease to fund ultimately beneficial parking garag-es, tune up your old bike or call friends to set up a carpool. While we understand driving to class might feel more convenient, taking advantage of existing transportation options is actually less stressful and will save you money.

Suspensions loom over players

Dillon Hollingsworthdillon.j.hollingsworth-1@ou.edu

sports reporter

One has already been suspended for the whole season, another has a sexual assault scandal hanging over his

head and two others have their immediate playing futures in the NCAA’s grasp.

Much has gone right for the football program this off-season but with the season opener just days away, Oklahoma

will be without one key player as three others await clearance. Here’s who they are and how they might be replaced:

Just a few months ago, Joe Mixon was the poster child for the benefits OU was poised to reap after OU upset Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

Now, he is no longer on the roster after being suspended for the entire season because of his alleged assault.

With OU’s current inexperience at running back this season, Mixon was positioned to contribute as a true fresh-man. His suspension leaves the Sooners with a stable of running backs that have a combined 26 carries for 153 yards.

Sophomores Keith Ford and Alex Ross look to be the front-runners for playing time, as they are the only ball car-riers with any experience.

Sophomore Daniel Brooks and freshman Samaje Perine also have a chance to get carries given the position’s wide-open competition.

Junior linebacker Frank Shannon’s 92 tackles led the team last season. But it is still unclear whether or not Shannon will suit up at all for the Sooners in 2014.

Shannon has been suspended from the university for a year after a Title IX investigation into an alleged sexual as-sault. No charges were filed against Shannon, and he has been granted a stay delaying the decission on his suspen-sion, but the case is ongoing.

Losing a leader on defense and the team’s leading tackler will be a tough blow for OU, but not many teams can claim the defensive depth the Sooners can.

Sophomore Jordan Evans is most likely to replace Shannon after an encouraging freshman campaign and off-season.

Dillon Hollingsworth is a journalism junior.

In one of the bigger moves this off-season, junior wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham was released from Missouri and transferred to OU.

Green-Beckham was Missouri’s second leading receiver in 2013, but was dismissed from the team after being ac-cused of pushing a female student down a flight of stairs.

He was never charged, but his acquisition raised ques-tions about what kind of presence he would bring to the program. As with Shannon, there is no definite answer on whether or not Green-Beckham will see the field for OU in 2014.

The Sooners have appealed to the NCAA for a waiver to let him play this season, but nothing has been decided.

Green-Beckham, a second-team All SEC member in 2013, would be a welcome boost to arguably the weakest position group on the team. Junior Sterling Shepard will be the unquestioned leader of a very young and unproven re-ceiving corps.

After a season battling Davis Webb for the starting quar-terback gig at Texas Tech, walk-on Baker Mayfield made a surprise move and transferred to Oklahoma.

The decision was puzzling, as sophomore signal call-er Trevor Knight had just established himself as the Sooners’ starting quarterback with his stellar Sugar Bowl performance. Plus, behind him were four scholarship quarterbacks.

But with Kendal Thompson’s transfer to Utah and se-nior Blake Bell’s switch to tight end, room has cleared for Mayfield to claim the second-string spot. But his status is still up in the air as OU’s appeal for him to be eligible this season makes its way through the NCAA.

On Monday, coach Bob Stoops alluded to redshirt fresh-man Cody Thomas being the backup at this point, but that could change if Mayfield becomes eligible.

Freshman goalkeeper, Kali Newman dives for the ball during soccer practice at John Craine Practice Field on Wednesday.

Sooners gear up for season

JOE MUSSATTOSports Editor

@joe_mussatto

Four wins, 13 losses and one tie. Those are now insignificant numbers for the

Oklahoma soccer team. Last year’s disappointing record has made the club hungrier for a more successful recipe this time around.

“We’re looking to start a winning tradition,” senior defender Molly Richey said. “We’ll be the underdog in a lot of our games so we want to surprise people.”

After back-to-back subpar seasons, coach Matt Potter’s squad is glowing with confidence prior to its upcoming campaign.

The season begins Friday and expecta-tions have elevated from past years.

“Without question,” Potter said. “The ex-pectations of the department are what we commit to every day. We may be youthful, but we’ve got talent, energy and have taken another step forward.”

The team’s lack of veterans is glaring after a quick glance at the roster. Of the 30 players, 22 are freshmen or sophomores.

But Richey, one of only four seniors on the team, says everyone has equal footing when they’re on the field.

“Age isn’t really a factor on our team,” she said. “We’re just teammates and sisters looking to achieve the same goal.”

Sophomore forward Caren Nelson scored two goals and started six matches last season as a freshman despite missing seven games due to injury. She expects other un-derclassmen to take on a bigger role.

“We might be young but we’re willing to step up and make an impact on this team,” Nelson said.

With a crowded roster, competition for starting spots has risen during the offseason.

“Everybody has to be competitive and willing to put it all on the line every chance they get,” Richey said. “If you’re not per-forming, someone else is going to take your spot.”

Even when the results haven’t gone the team’s way, their winning attitude has flourished under Potter’s direction.

Now in his third year in Norman, Potter has changed the program’s culture.

“There’s no hierarchy,” he said. “We want to embrace the idea that this is a fun place to be. But it’s competitive and we’re here to work hard and win.”

The program has progressed but the wins haven’t followed. This year’s squad has a chance to change that.

“We’re looking to leave a mark on every team we play,” Richey said.

The Sooners start their season 7 p.m. Friday at the OU Soccer Complex.

Let’s face it, college is expensive. After pay-ing for tuition, fees, rent and horrendous-ly overpriced books, there’s not much

money left to spend on the little things. Things like life-sustaining, body and mind-nourishing, “oh my gosh I can’t function without it” food. But fear not, you’re not destined for four years of ramen noodles. In fact, it you look hard enough, you can actually find delicious meals that are quite affordable.

Better yet, I’ve already done some of that searching for you. Below is a list of six places where you can eat for $6 or less. You’re welcome.

There are a number of other cheap options around campus, you just have to spend a lit-tle time looking for them. Happy hunting.

Six options around campus with meals below $6

Right next to Starbucks on Campus Corner lies one of the speediest sandwich makers in the world. They’re

so fast that I usually have my meal within 10 seconds of ordering it. Ten seconds! Now that’s fast. What’s more, they’re even cheaper than Subway. For only $5.40, I can order one of a plethora of delicious 8-inch sandwiches from their menu. Now, granted,

for that price your meal won’t come with chips or a sugary drink, but honestly the sandwiches are so large

that you are probably better off without the extra carbs.

Located in the Cate Center food court next to the dorms, Taco Mayo is by far the cheapest option on campus. Most of their items are under $4, but they also have a value menu where items are only a $1 or so. You can even create some of their more expensive items for much less by mixing some of the cheaper ones.

Who doesn’t love chicken? Located in the union food court, Chick-fil-A is a great choice if you have a hard

time deciding what you want from menus. They’ve got chicken, and that’s about it. But that’s not neces-sarily a bad thing. You can get a chicken sandwich and fries for only $5.78. The only downside is there is usually a big line. But you know what they say: “good

things are worth waiting for.”

Right next door to Chick-fil-A is Sbarro, a great choice for pizza on a budget. They have a wide variety of styles

ranging from cheese to loaded supreme. For only $5.29 or less, you can get any unstuffed pizza and a breadstick. If you don’t care for the breadstick, prac-tically anything on their menu will ring up less than $6. And because most of the items are pre-made,

people are served quickly and the line for Sbarro is usually the shortest in the union.

If you’re a bit of a health nut like me and prefer your food to be a little less processed try The Laughing Tomato. Also in the union food court it is by far the best option. Some of their stuff can be pretty pricy, but if you’re smart you can get a decent sized meal for cheap. My favorite combo is a half-size wrap and a side. Any wrap works, as does any side, and no mat-ter how you slice or dice it the price will be no more than $5.40. It’s slimming for your waist but not your wallet. You can’t beat that!

The Union Market in the Oklahoma Memorial Union has been open for barely two weeks, but it is the only restau-rant on campus that offers both à la carte and tradition-al made to order food. The made to order stuff can be a little expensive, but if you go the à la carte route, you can get a meal for relatively cheap. Most pre-made sandwiches, for example, are only $4. You can also get a bag of chips for only about $1.30. That to-tals out to only $5.30. The variety of sandwiches and potential sides is massive, and the combinations are more massive still. That means, unlike most other plac-es listed here, you can get something different and not worry about breaking your budget.

Printmaking event to offer original art designs

BAILEY CHAMBERSLife & Arts Reporter@baichambers

This tee party does not require dainty lace or crum-pets, but it does require a blank t-shirt and an appre-ciation for original art.

Bring a blank surface for printing to the Sixth Annual Tee Party, sponsored by The School of Art and Art History, the Printmaking Department and Print Club from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday at the School of Art and Art History building.

An eclectic collection of prints will be ready to trans-fer onto your plain tees, socks or pillowcases — for free. Blank t-shirts will also be available for purchase.

These designs can’t be found anywhere else since each and every design is one of the original prints made by several art students and faculty.

Marwin Begaye, OU’s as-sistant professor of print-making and painting, said this annual event promotes community within the art school and Norman natives who take an interest in the school of art.

“It’s a way to get the com-munity together, for profes-sors to meet new students and for students to meet each other,” Begaye said.
