After discussions about equality and representa-tion, OU student leaders eliminated stipends for the executives of five organiza-tions Sunday at a meeting of the Graduate Student Senate.

T h e “ K e e p i n g O u r Promise Act of 2013” was approved with 36 votes in the GSS after receiving a majority of votes in the Undergraduate Student Congress in March. The amendment eliminates the salaries and stipends of positions that no longer affect the entire student body, starting fall 2014, ac-cording to the legislation.

The positions no lon-ger receiving funding are the Housing Center Student Association pres-ident, the Interfraternity Council president, the M u l t i c u l t u r a l G r e e k Council , the National

Center offers free iBook for organic

chemistry labs

HALEY DAVISCampus reporter

Students in organic chemistry labs may be getting their assignments in a way they never have before thanks

to an initiative by The Center for Teaching Excellence.The center has created an interactive iBook for

organic chemistry labs as part of their Textbook Alternatives Initiative.

The center’s main goal is to save students money while still adequately teaching them, according to their website.

Originally students would have had to pay $30 for the organic chemistry lab manual, but the iBook is free to OU students and available through iTunes.

The iBook version of the book is different from the print version because it includes videos as

well as feedback quizzes, said Mark Morvant, executive director of The Center for Teaching Excellence.

There also will be a PDF available for stu-dents on D2L, he said.

Students can save $30 by purchasing digital copy instead of print version

Note: some of this infor-mation is paraphrased. After The Daily found out about there being alco-hol in the Students for a Democratic Society office in Oklahoma Memor ial Union, we assumed drink-ing in the office was against university policy, or at least state law. However, the le-gality of it isn’t as clear as it would seem.

We talked to Maureen Shanta, public integrity and

compliance official for the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission, and city attorney Jeannie Snider. Both explained the situation was ambiguous, and there was no right or wrong answer.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e Oklahoma statute, drinking alcohol or any other intoxi-cant in a public place is ille-gal. This means people can drink in a private residence or area without fear of legal consequences. However, how public places are de-fined can get a little muddy.

Q&A with city attorney Jeannie Snider:

Q: What is consid-e r e d a p u b l i c

place?

A: Streets, sidewalks, parks, some park-

ing lots — anything not owned by a private citizen … but places people can get to easily.

Q: How do you de-t e r m i n e w hat ’s

private?

A: It would depend o n t h e p l a c e. It

does get a little dicey. You’d have to take them space-by-space. A hair salon could be open to the public, even though it’s privately owned.

Q: W h a t a b o u t a n office?

For students facing homelessness in the Norman community, a lack of resources to serve their needs may be to blame for a portion of their problems.

As finals and summer vacation approach, many students are look-ing forward to leaving their classes behind and returning home for a few

months of rest. However, not every student has that option.

More than 33,000 university stu-dents in the U.S. are considered homeless, meaning they don’t have a family home to which to return during academic breaks, accord-ing to data compiled from the 2011 FAFSA.

In the past 12 months, local homeless shelters and food pantries have seen a definite increase in the number of people requesting their services, said Linda Barnes, vice di-rector of Mission Norman.

Mission Norman, which offers a variety of services for those in need, currently is in the process of build-ing housing for homeless families that will be completed this fall, but the organization will not be able to offer housing for individuals without children, Barnes said.

“People [who] come in just need-ing shelter, we’re not going to be able to help them,” Barnes said.

In such cases, individuals might be recommended to The Salvation Army, which offers emergency hous-ing for five days, and individuals

may be granted an extension, if they are employed, for up to 30 days. After that, individuals must vacate, Barnes said.

East Main Place is another local organization that offers shelter, and it has helped university students in the past, programs coordinator Randi Brockhaus said.

Anyone seeking assistance from East Main Place has to fill out an ap-plication and get a letter confirming they are homeless, said Brockhaus.

Researchers battle their own numbers

AcADeMics

PAIGHTEN HARKINSassistant Campus editor

With OU supporting more postdoctoral fellows and non-faculty Ph.D. re-searchers than it has be-fore, and with federal re-search expenditures rap-idly rising, researchers are seeking help to distinguish themselves amidst such a competitive pool.

For graduate research assistant John Wickham, the answer to distinguish-ing himself from a group of other researchers is fairly simple: You just need to question the status quo,

and in doing that, you’ll develop your identity as a researcher.

However, no matter how much questioning you do, in a field of researchers as large as OU’s, and one that seems to keep growing, these re-searchers need more than questions — they need re-sources, he said.

“For a lot of research, for a lot of knowledge build-ing, you can pursue, what-ever you pursue it’s going to take resources,” said Wickham, who also is a con-sultant for the interdisci-plinary research program at the Center for Research Program Development and

Pan-Hellenic Council president and the Panhellenic Council president, accord-ing to the legislation.

A similar amendment was discussed in Fall 2012. The “Give the Money to the Students Act” proposed the elimination of stipends for four of the five positions that will no longer receive funding from SGA starting Fall 2014.

Joe Sangirardi, president of SGA, said he vetoed the previous bill after it’s approval in the GSS because there hadn’t been proper di-alogue with the orga-nizations affected by it. At that time, presidents of those organizations were not notified about the legislation until it entered the legislative process.

Without previous de-cisions about the legis-lations, they automatically were forced to defend themselves, Sangirardi, a let-ters senior, said.

This time there were discussions about equality, representation and al-ternative sources of funding, Sangirardi said. The 2013 proposal to cut stipends listed the same four positions named in 2012, but added the Housing Center Student Association president.

“I don’t think the legislation is as thought out as it could be,” Allie Kallmann, HCSA presidents, said.

Kallmann, a mathematics and letters senior, said she is worried that eliminat-ing the monthly $290 stipend for her po-sition may put greater burdens on future

officeholders.Kallmann said she commits at least

20 hours a week to HCSA and has en-rolled in at least 15 hours each semester, making it difficult for her to get a job.

“I seriously doubt that without the stipend I would have been able to give HCSA that time and still do well in my classes,” Kallmann said.

SGA should have communicated more with the organizations and dis-cussed alternative sources for stipends, Kallmann said.

Alternative funding for stipends have been discussed, Sangirardi said.

Student Life declined to pay the stipends be-cause they don’t want to treat their organiza-tions unequally. Most of those affected have decided not to seek al-ternative sources of funding, he said.

But money isn’t the major issue that con-

cerns SGA, Sangirardi said.“ It w a s n ’ t a b o u t t h e m o n e y ,”

Sangirardi said. “It was about putting all organizations equally.”

All positions that receive a stipend through SGA should be directly re-sponsible to SGA and the student com-munity, Sangirardi said. The Greek councils and Housing Center Student Association have become too auton-omous and don’t represent the entire student body.

In a letter to the OU Daily published in November 2012, Sangirardi stated that at one point the Greek councils, the Student Bar Association, the HCSA and the Commuter Student Association col-lectively represented the student body,

and their presidents were part of the SGA president’s cabinet.

That’s no longer the case, Sangirardi s a i d . T h e C o m m u t e r S t u d e n t Association no longer exists, which means the presidents of the Greek councils and HCSA no longer collec-tively represent the whole student body.

The Student Bar Association presi-dents will continue to receive stipends because the bar association is a part of SGA, according to the constitution.

All first year students under the age of 20 are required to live on campus. Participation and representation isn’t optional like it is for the Greek organiza-tions, Kallmann said. HCSA represents all students that go through OU housing at one point or another.

But there are still students that are left unrepresented by HCSA like grad-uate students, transfer students, and students over 20 who choose to live off campus, Sangirardi said. Students shouldn’t have to pay for positions that don’t represent them.

However, SGA isn’t severing ties with the Greek Council and HCSA, Sangirardi said.

Kallmann said she would still like to have a stipend available for future HCSA presidents. She said she is dis-cussing alternative sources of funding with Andrew Carlough, management information systems junior and author of the bill.

“Hopefully we will be able to work to strengthen our relationship with SGA,” Kallmann said.

Enrichment.In the 2012 fiscal year, OU’s

federal research expendi-tures neared $60 million, which is about double what they were nine years ago, ac-cording to Norman campus financial support services statistics.

Only a small increase in federal expenditures oc-curred between 2003 and 2008, starting at $30 million in 2003 and never reaching above $40 million over the next five years, according to the statistics.

Starting in 2009, more growth occurred in the next three years than it had in the past five years, according to the statistics. It grew from just over $40 million in 2009 to $60 million in 2012.

Because of this fast growth, OU has had to adapt to these changes.

For the most part, grants have helped add to the re-search campus, with new fa-cilities and centers, but one center was developed spe-cifically to help researchers get their foot in the door of research at OU, said Kelvin Droegemeier, vice president of research.

In 2010, Droegemeier helped create the Center f o r R e s e a r c h P r o g r a m D e v e l o p m e n t a n d Enrichment, which served as an analog for all services re-lated to researchers, he said.

“We constantly, in my of-fice, try to help researchers be successful in scholarly activities, and we do every-thing we can to help them se-cure funding and be success-ful in the creation and dis-semination of knowledge,” Droegemeier said.

The center, located on the

research campus, is open to any researcher looking for any sort of guidance, al-though people mostly come looking for money, said Marilyn Korhonen, associate director of the center.

“I think most people come here thinking they want money, when probably what they need is a path for being

successful,” she said.To help the researchers

distinguish themselves in such a large, competitive pool, those working in the center offer help in many dif-ferent ways, from funding, to framing research ques-tions, to helping researchers collaborate on projects with those from other disciplines, Korhonen said.

One of the best things the center does is it helps re-searchers collaborate, be-cause in his research and in his experiences working at the center, he’s found that’s really difficult for the re-searchers to do, Wickham said.

“There’s just something in-herently difficult for a scien-tist to do this. Many of them do a good job, but for most of them, it’s not in their DNA, so to speak,” Wickham said.

Before the center, there weren’t many opportunities for researchers to work things out in relation to their work.

They essentially were left on their own, because, while

in the university setting there are resources available to researchers, there still were many unanswered ques-tions, he said.

“What supplies do they need? Do they need a lab-oratory? Are they going to have to travel somewhere? All those kinds of resourc-es,” Wickham said. “It’s a big undertaking that you take on as a new faculty member fig-uring out how you’re going to piece everything together and make it happen.”

This confusion made it harder for researchers, es-pecially the news ones, to succeed and standout by forming their identity as a re-searcher, he said.

“I think what it is helping form your own sort of identi-ty of what kind of knowledge you’re going to pursue and how you’re going to pursue it,” he said.

North Carolina man attempts to save children from falling soil

stAnLey, n.C. (Ap) — the north Carolina father who was working in a two-story-deep hole that collapsed says he worked frantically to save his daughter and her cousin who died under a wall of falling dirt.

thirty-one-year-old Jordan Arwood of stanley was operating a backhoe sunday night in the pit when the walls caved in on the children. the bodies of the two young cousins, 6-year-old Chloe Jade Arwood and 7-year-old James Levi Caldwell, were dug out Monday morning.

Arwood is the girl’s father.in his fi rst media interview, Arwood told the

CHiCAgo (Ap) — Former state rep. robin Kelly has won the special election for Jesse Jackson Jr.’s vacated illinois congressional seat.

the Matteson democrat was widely expected to win tuesday’s contest over republican community activist paul McKinley. the strongly democratic Chicago-area district includes suburbs and rural areas.

Kelly easily won the special primary in February from a crowded fi eld of candidates including former Congressman debbie Halvorson. the main issue in that race quickly became gun control and Kelly’s campaign received a $2 million boost in ads includ-ing ones on television targeting Halvorson. Kelly is in favor of an assault weapons ban and has vowed to be a leader in the federal fi ght for gun control.

Jackson resigned in november. in February, he pleaded guilty to charges accusing him of mis-spending campaign funds.

Air Force to ground combat aircraft amid financial worries

East Main Place allows people to live at their location and assists in finding and helping with down payments on other hous-ing, said Brockhaus.

“Predominantly what we see from OU stu-dents is that they’re seeking rental or utility assistance with some regu-larity,” Natalie Gardner, di-rector of programs for Food and Shelter, said. “I would encourage any students having issues to call and ask to see if there’s anything we can do. If we don’t have what they need, we can refer them to someone else.”

Despite the variety of or-ganizations in Norman that seek to help the homeless, there aren’t a lot of options for people without children, or who don’t qualify for more specialized pro-grams that help those suffering from mental illness or substance abuse, Gardner said.

There currently are about 600 homeless people in Cleveland County total, including between 200 and 250 children, according to

a Norman Transcript article.Bridges is a program that provides af-

fordable housing on a sliding scale to high school students who have a job and are liv-ing on their own due to a family crisis. Rent is 30 percent of the student’s income, and the program provides the support to allow the student to graduate from high school. Post-graduation, some of those students

choose to attend OU or Oklahoma City Community College and may continue to receive assistance from the Bridges program, Debra Krittenbrink, executive di-rector of the program, said.

Since 2010, Bridges has had four of its graduates at-tend OU, though more may have transferred in from OCCC, Krittenbrink said.

“In my personal opinion I think aware-ness about homelessness is lacking,” Afton Redmon, sociology senior and intern for Food and Shelter, said. “Since Norman is a fairly cheap place I didn’t think there would be as much of a need as there is, but there’s a lot of college aged people who need our services.”

“I would encourage any students having issues to call and

ask to see if there’s anything we can do.”

BROCK VERGAKIS, MELISSA R. NELSONthe associated press

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The U.S. Air Force plans to ground about a third of its active-duty force of combat planes and a top general warned Tuesday that the branch might not be able to respond immediately to every event when needed.

The Air Force didn’t im-mediately release a list of the specific units and bases that would be affected on Tuesday, but it said it would cover some fighters, bombers and airborne warning and control aircraft in the U.S., Europe and the Pacific.

Gen. Mike Hostage, com-m a n d e r o f A i r C o m b a t Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, said the branch would focus its budget and resources on units supporting major missions, like the war in Afghanistan, while other units stand down on a rotat-ing basis.

“The current situation means we’re accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new con-tingencies as they occur,” Hostage said in a statement.

The Air Force says, on aver-age, aircrews ‘lose currency’ to fly combat commissions within 90 to 120 days of not flying and that it generally takes 60 to 90 days to conduct the training needed to return aircrews to mission-ready status.

R e t u r n i n g g r o u n d -ed units to mission ready

status will require addition-al funds beyond Air Combat Command’s normal bud-get, according to Air Force Officials.

“Even a six-month stand down of units will have sig-nificant long-term, multi-year impacts on our opera-tional readiness,” Air Combat Command spokesman Maj. Brandon Lingle wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

For affected units, the Air Force says it will shift its focus to ground training. That in-c l u d e s t h e use of flight s i m u l a t o r s and academ-i c t r a i n i n g to maintain b a s i c s k i l l s and aircraft knowledge, Lingle said. Aircraft main-tainers plan to clear up as much of a backlog of scheduled inspections and maintenance that budgets allow.

On the same day, the U.S. Navy confirmed that the Blue Angels aerobatic team would be cancelling the rest of its season.

Tom Frosch, the Blue Angels lead pilot and team commander, announced the news late Tuesday at the team’s Pensacola Naval Air Station headquarters stand-ing in front of the one of the iconic blue-and-gold jets. Frosch said the news marks the first time since the Korean War that the team would not make the air show rounds.

“The Navy held off as long as possible with the hope of salvaging some of the sea-son,” Frosch said. “We hope

we’ll be turned back on for 2014.”

As the news trickled out, business owners and resi-dents of the coastal enclave where the team is based were disappointed.

“I just think it’s sad that there are political games being played. I doubt the Blue Angels are even half of 1 percent of the entire Navy budget,” said Lloyd Proctor, co-owner of Blue Angel Hot Tubs in Pensacola. Proctor and his wife named their business after the team 10

years ago.“ T h e y

have nation-al name rec-ognition and they are loved by people ev-e r y w h e r e ,” Proctor said Tuesday.

Most held o u t h o p e

that the grounding was tem-porary and that the season could somehow be salvaged.

Thousands of fans flocks to Pensacola Beach each July to watch the team fly over the white sand and turquoise surf. It is always the biggest tourism revenue weekend of the year, said W.A. Buck Lee, president of the Santa Rosa Island Authority. Lee said he had hoped that the six fighter jets would be allowed to con-tinue practicing as a team and the Pensacola Beach show could be replaced by a routine practice over the beach.

Instead, the Navy an-nounced Tuesday that the six elite pilots would main-tain only minimum flight hours to remain qualified in their F/A 18 Hornets and that

squadron practices would end for the remainder of the season.

“The economic impact of the show for us is more than $2 million,” Lee said. “People are going to start cancelling their hotel rooms and will hurt businesses here.”

A spokesman for the Navy said team members would be allowed to fly minimal hours to maintain flight proficiency in the F/A 18 fighter jets, but the six-jet squadron would discontinue group practices for the remainder of the sea-son. The elite pilots selected to serve a two-year rotation with the team are among the top Navy’s top fighter pilots.

Many are graduates of the Navy’s famous Top Gun fight-er tactics school.

Forsch said the team will continue its focus on com-munity outreach and on Navy and Marine recruiting.

“To be a part of this team in any way is an honor and there is an obligation to con-tinue that legacy of the Blue Angels that inspired me and others to fly and to join the Navy and the Marines,” he said.

“They have national name recognition

and they are loved by people everywhere.”

bOOZe: Officials unsure if alcohol in private offices violates statuteContinued from page 1

A: I think you could make argu-ments on both sides if someone

was in that office drunk. It’s dependent on the situation, but [the office] is open to the public. If you were in a classroom at Dale Hall drunk, that’d probably be public. But if it was a professor’s office? That may be different … Private office? That’s probably private. Beaird lounge? Probably public.

Q&A with Maureen Shanta, public in-tegrity and compliance official for the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission:

Q: What’s the difference between low-point beer and intoxicat-

ing liquors?

A: All beverages containing more than 3.2 percent alcohol by

weight and all mixed beverage coolers constitute intoxicating liquors. All bev-erages containing more than half of 1 percent alcohol by volume and not more than 3.2 percent are defined as low-point beer.

Q: If it’s illegal to drink intoxi-cating liquors in public, what

about parks?

A: Parks are public because the general public can go there. If

it’s a private party, that doesn’t apply be-cause it’s not a public event.

Q: How do you make an event pri-vate in a public park?

A: We require them to restrict the area. It’s got to have some sort

of boundary so people know this is where they can consume and to prevent the

uninvited from approaching into that area.

Q: Do people have to have permits for these private parties in public

places?

A: They have to get a license from us, and this permits them to conduct

certain activities without being in violation of the law.

Q: How does this work during foot-ball games? Surely not everyone

has a permit in that situation.

A: Low-point beer is permitted only if you’re not getting drunk from

it. Enforcing it is difficult. Sometimes, like during a football game, it’s not the priority that they’re drinking in public, it’s the fights that result from it.

Q: Where can people be drunk in public?

A: In Oklahoma, there’s no legal place other than the privacy of

your own home to be drunk.

Q: What about if you’re in a hotel room? Or camping at the lake?

A: If you go to a hotel and rent a room, the law applies that it is

your domicile, so you have the rights there like you do in your own home. If you’re at the park and camping, they can say that’s the privacy of your own home. If you’re on the lake in a boat, you’re not going to have a problem.

Q: And an office?

A: That’s a very good question. I would have to understand the cir-

cumstances before I take action.

As an American Indian with a strong cultural

background, I have been exposed to incidents or phenomena that cannot be dismissed simply or explained by science or duplicated by the scientific method. I also have met many other individuals, often referred to as “peoples of tradition,” who have related stories and experiences similar to my own. Many of them are educated people and grew up being taught the princi-ples of rationality, reductionism, science and the scientific method in school.

The experiences we have would be defined as “spiritual” rather than “scientific.” These spiritual, nonscientific ex-periences force us to consider the limitations of traditional science, so you should consider them too. That’s right, I said it: Science is not nearly as objective as it is claimed to be. If you scientists, skeptics, militant atheists or rational-ists reading this are stretching your fingers, getting ready to write zinging responses or letters to the editor, hear me out.

I have read, or been exposed to, much of the same liter-ature, media and learning processes as you have. I am just as skeptical as the most jaded among you. Yet, I still stand by my statement that I, and many others, have seen or ex-perienced things so convincing or compelling they must be taken into account as more than just “projection,” myth, superstition, imagination or wishful thinking.

I, and many like myself, have had no choice but to recon-sider or redefine these terms based on my experience. I am here to tell you if you base your world view on only science and reductionism, rationality or the scientific method, you are getting only a partial and limited view of the wondrous cosmos we live in.

Many Native Americans, indigenous or religious/tradi-tional people from outside the mainstream Western culture know, rather than merely believe, there is more to spiritual experience than science can explain. We are forced to live in two worlds at once — one of reductionism and linear thought and one of spirituality and nonlinear thought.

Allow me to define what I believe faith is — as opposed to the popular misconceptions of what it means. Simply put, one cannot have faith without doubt. True faith is com-posed of three inseparable parts.

In Latin, these words are: notitia, knowledge or a prop-osition to be believed or not; assensus, a simple assent to truth via intellect and the testing of an idea; and fiducia, resting upon a conclusion, being convinced of its reality.

This points out the big difference between real “faith” and belief. The faith I am referring to here is something I know, rather than something I merely believe. I know there is such a thing as the spirit world and what we call God. Because of this, I must acknowledge that science is often an ideology or exclusionary system of ideas in itself.

During Native American Heritage Month, do yourself a favor and open yourself up to the possibility that your own faith or beliefs, or lack thereof, are not complete and may even be your own form of superstition. Why? Because that’s what learning and the college experience is all about.

Scott Starr is a Native American studies senior.

Our View: College students are best situated to help their peers avoid homelessness.

On Tuesday, The Daily reported on a story about Students for a Democratic Society allowing a home-less person to live in its student organization office in the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Conoco Phillips wing. It may be easy to ignore a problem we don’t see every day, but when the OU com-munity is confronted with homelessness on campus, it is important we examine the conditions that create homelessness and ask what the OU community can do — and is doing — to help.

Homelessness in Oklahoma affects peo-ple of every age. A study of homeless students by the Department of Education in 2011 found that 6,979 children under the age of 18 were identified as homeless and received special services through the department. In some Oklahoma districts, 5 percent of the population is homeless.

College students are not immune from housing problems. Too often, college students find them-selves in over their heads. Financial aid applications in 2011 showed 33,000 students reported they were homeless, according to a report by USAToday.

Homeless students live in their cars, stay on friends’ couches or sleep in homeless shelters. These conditions can impact a student’s school perfor-mance. Children who are homeless perform worse academically than housed children, according to a study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

In Norman, the problem is particularly bad among college students. The largest group of individuals under the poverty line are 18 to 24 year olds. This number is more than twice the average for Oklahoma as a whole. In short, more college-age Norman residents are poor and are more likely to be homeless.

Options for homeless people in Norman are limited. Food and Shelter for Friends is a soup kitch-en and shelter program that provides services to Cleveland County families and individuals in need. The shelter’s housing program is only for families, but homeless students could use shower and laun-dry facilities and eat in the soup kitchen, director of programs, Natalie Gardner said.

OU’s new initiative, Sooners Helping Sooners, also is doing what it can to help prevent students from becoming homeless. Sooners awarded $11,650 to students in emergency situations last semester,

according to the organization’s website. The efforts of these organizations are incredibly

admirable but there is more we can do. The best people to help students in need are other students. At Oregon State University, the Human Resources Service Center coordinates with students to provide food and other services for students in need.

At OU, there is a lot you can do to help. Sooners Helping Sooners holds events to raise funds for stu-dents. You also can work with organizations that provide low-cost medical treatment and mental health services. Homelessness is just a symptom of larger social issues. Helping address the root causes decreases the number of vulnerable citizens

Helping students you know is the best way to get involved. Many students are too afraid or ashamed to admit they are suffering from financial or housing problems that could lead them to become home-less. Just being supportive and helping your friend to access programs already available can make all the difference. There is no reason for any Sooner to be homeless. By giving just a little, you can make a huge difference in the lives of vulnerable OU students.

Homelessness at any college is unacceptable

Tonight, I encourage my fellow students, peers and members of the OU community to attend the Campus Activities Council Oklahoma Creativity Festival benefit night at Café Plaid from 7 to 10 p.m. This event is a celebra-tion of an undervalued aspect of all individuals: creativity.

Creativity is unique because you don’t have to be the next Dr. Seuss or da Vinci to be creative. Creativity is every-where and in all that we do; all you have to do is open your eyes and listen.

Everyone has the special ability to do something unique, that is what makes creativity so extraordinary. So go ahead and pick up the pen, the paintbrush, play some notes on the piano and express your ideas.

We want to celebrate and inspire the breath-taking, the fascinating, the interesting, the abstract and everything in between.

The OU student body represented at the council’s Oklahoma Creativity Festival has incredible talent and creates many diverse, beautiful things.

Tomorrow night is an occasion to appreciate, as well as enjoy all of the creative minds we have at this institution. Musicians, poets and artists will be displaying their finest renditions and pieces of art for the entire community.

It is hard to imagine a world without creativity; thus, members of the council’s Oklahoma Creativity Festival executive committee are excited to share this outlet of expression with our peers. In the words of the late, great Albert Einstein, “Creativity is contagious, pass it on.”

Christopher Corbaz is a member of the Oklahoma Creativity Festival’s executive committee.

Many of the people making the big decisions impacting the 20,000 plus undergraduates on campus are not widely known by undergrads. In hopes of bringing these people to the surface, I touch on the three most important people on campus you should know.

•Nicholas HathawayNicholas Hathaway is executive vice president and vice

president of administration and finance. The last descriptor, “finance,” is key: Hathaway watches over an annual budget process totaling $810 million in university-related spending.

If you have ever dealt with, for example, the Graduation Office, Parking and Transportation Services, or the OU Police Department, you have dealt with Hathaway. If you have ever connected with the Graduation Office or Sooner Success Program, you have connected with a program initi-ated by Hathaway.

In an email to me he said, “I’m always working with President David Boren to make OU an even better univer-sity. I always love and appreciate student ideas in regard to how we can improve.” Evidence of this improvement is OU’s recent growing interest in Apple. OU has started to embrace the Cupertino company through iTunes U and Hathaway was instrumental in College of Education students receiv-ing free iPads.

•Sandra TarabochiaSandra Tarabochia came to OU just a few years ago. As an

assistant professor in the Department of English, Tarabochia is co-director of First-Year Composition, those two required writing classes 2,000 plus undergrads slough through.

Tarabochia is a name to know as the plan is for her to eventually take full control of the First-Year Composition of-fice. A bright, engaging person, she tells me “Every decision we make involves considering students’ needs, interests, sit-uations. I sit on campus committees as a representative for first-year writing, all in an effort to give students the most valuable learning experiences we can.”

While she does teach classes, many undergrads may graduate from OU without ever knowing her name or di-rectly working with her. But she will soon be watching over a program introducing undergrads to writing at the college level.

•Kyle HarperThe last name should be most familiar. At least his pic-

ture should be as it is on the OU homepage and promo-tional material. He is an associate professor in the depart-ment of classics and letters and director of the Institute for the American Constitutional Heritage.

In December, Kyle Harper skyrocketed to near the top of the administrative ladder at OU and is now the senior vice provost. Few people on campus are making more im-portant academic decisions impacting undergrads at OU than Harper. He still teaches classes every semester, and expresses a passion for teaching, but with changes loom-ing on the horizon at OU, Harper’s role as senior vice pro-vost will be one to watch.

Harper explained to me, “I am hoping to provide strate-gic insight into curriculum development and digital initia-tives. My role is to ask, continually, how we can maintain and enhance the impact of place-based education in a time of enormous change in the world of higher education.”

When Harper asks questions like this, changes will come and his decisions will impact you and the courses you take.

At OU, we are lucky to have dedicated administra-tors. People who may not always be in the classroom but make the decisions about what goes on in the classroom. Hathaway, Tarabochia and Harper are positioning OU to move forward. As concepts such as massively open online courses gain traction, look to these three to be at the fore of change.

BLOG REVIEW

Over-the-top blog shares tips on mastering ‘Art of Manliness’

ART PROVIDED

An old photograph of a man ironing is featured in “How To Properly Iron A Dress Shirt” on “The Art of Manliness,” a blog about traditional manhood in the modern world.

Just what precisely is a “man?” In these com-plicated times when

iconoclasm has become fe-tishized, the long-standing idea of what a man should be has been lost in the murky world of political correct-ness, changing values and complicated family lives.

Rare is the young boy for-tunate enough to have his father around, willing and able to teach him the values once passed from father to son for generations. Instead, many young men today have grown up a bit lost as to just what being a man even means, aside from their anatomy and a few clichés picked up from movies and video games. In many ways, a lot of us are lost boys rather than men.

In response to this, there has been something of a minor movement to reestab-lish the skills and values that once were a part of growing up. A prime example of this revivalism is the blog “The Art of Manliness,” authored by Brett and Kate McKay, native Oklahomans and resi-dents of Tulsa.

With the goal of “helping men be better husbands, better fathers, and better men,” there’s an article for just about any topic you can think of relating to good, old-fashioned men. From grooming tips to manual skills to etiquette, this blog has you covered. My person-al favorites are the clothing and style tips, such as the how-to for iron-ing a dress shirt or the guide to measuring yourself for clothing.

But don’t think the blog is all about formal things — one of the more interesting posts of late is a visual guide to surviving a bear attack. Many of the posts involve skills and wis-dom we know we should have learned growing up, but somehow never did.

However, probably the most unique posts have to be

Buck Robersonbuckroberson@ou.edu

LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST

the “manvotionals,” excerpts of writing from the past relat-ed to developing a character in line with traditional man-hood, such as honesty, hard

work and lead-ership. It’s cool to get a glimpse into the roman-tic notion of rugged invidu-alism straight out of the past from the likes of Theodore Roosevelt and Jack London. Sometimes, when I need a pep talk to get started on that pesky essay (or article), I’ll read a quick “manvotional” for motiva-tion, such as William James Dawson’s “The

Gains of Drudgery.”Admittedly, the site is

a bit over the top. The old

pictures, the pedantic prose and the cliché topics all make the blog seem like its writers take the subject way too seriously. One of the most commonly-used pictures on the site is of John L. Sullivan, a 19th cen-tury champion boxer who looks almost exactly like the Overly-Manly Man meme.

And, to be honest, that’s how I feel about the site to some degree. I like “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from Mulan as much as the next guy, but really, the uber-masculine man is los-ing his relevance. Societally, we’ve rejected the patriar-chy, which means being a man is not ever going to return to the way it once was, and some of the ad-vice is downright dated. We can’t just expect the past to solve our identity issues, which seems to be what the McKays are trying to do.

Of course, I certainly ap-plaud them for the effort. It seems like many of our gen-eration feel lost, and their blog is one of the few willing to give some open-ended direction rather than tell-ing you exactly what you must do or the feel-good “be yourself or whatever” stuff floating around. In fact, much of the material on the site is simply good advice, whether you’re a man, boy, girl, woman or somewhere caught in between. So, if you’re a skinny dude looking

for advice on how to start getting into shape or an out-doorsy girl looking for camp-ing tips, go ahead and check out the site.

On Wednesday, OU students will get the chance to express themselves through art while supporting OU’s own Oklahoma Creativity Festival at a bene� t night at Café Plaid.

The bene� t night will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. to raise funds for the September festival, said Christopher Corbaz, journalism junior and media coor-dinator of the festival.

The purpose of the festival is to encourage people to express themselves and their emotions through var-ious forms of art, including but not limited to songs, � lm, dance, poetry and visual art, Corbaz said.

“We want to celebrate and encourage creativity on this campus and within this community,” Corbaz said.

Café Plaid is the perfect place to foster the upcom-ing festival’s feeling of creativity, Corbaz said.

At the bene� t night there will be live performances by musicians and poets that attend OU, as well as an auctioning off of art made by OU students, Corbaz said.

All proceeds will go toward sponsoring the cam-pus-wide event in September, Corbaz said.

Network welcomes guest speaker to share story, inspire women at OU

On Wednesday, the Women’s Philanthropy Network will host the president and CEO of Victoria’s Secret as a guest speaker for its spring symposium “Giving with Style: Making a Statement Through Philanthropy.”

Sharen Jester Turney, the president and CEO of Victoria’s Secret, has spoken before at OU, but never for the Women’s Philanthropy Network, said Sharon Alexander, the assistant director of the organization.

“Our goal is for her to share her philanthropic story and inspire other women to use their time, talent and resources to support their own philanthropic goals,” Alexander said.

The Women’s Philanthropy Network would ideally encourage students to give back to OU, but want to empower women to use their philanthropic abilities and talents overall, Alexander said.

Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday and sessions run at both 10 and 11 a.m. in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Beaird Lounge. Lunch will be at noon in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Molly Shi Boren Ballroom, Alexander said. Students may attend for free, but there is a fee of $25 for public attendees. Call 405-325-GIVE to register for the symposium.

World Literature Today symposium to highlight student-run session

HeatHer Brown/tHe daily

OU’s Freedom Movement Oklahoma encouraged people to draw red X’s on their hands as part of the End It Movement’s “Shine a Light on Slavery Day” on Tuesday. The X’s are meant to be a symbol for human trafficking.

Briana HallLife & Arts Reporter

One student’s hard work is trying to make a difference in the fight against human trafficking.

Melissa Weiss, English writing senior, has taken on the heavy role of organiz-ing and enacting an infor-mational panel session for World Literature Today’s up-coming symposium.

Weiss said she came up with the idea for the infor-mational panel, found par-ticipants and organized the event throughout.

With Weiss’ help, the an-nual symposium, which val-ues expression through both writing and visual art, will spotlight the fight against human trafficking.

“We were focusing on human rights, and there has recently been a lot of legisla-tion about human traffick-ing and chil-dren being traf-ficked,” Weiss said.

She believes literature can be a powerful source of social movement.

“I wanted to tie in the whole issue,” Weiss said about the cause.

D a n i e l S i m o n , a s -sistant direc-t o r a n d e d i -t o r- i n - c h i e f o f W o r l d L i t e r a t u r e Today, said he was taken aback by Weiss’ sudden passion and interest about the cause.

“She’s very quiet normal-ly,” Simon said. “We were surprised that she proposed it.”

S i m o n s a i d W o r l d Literature Today really val-ues when students take the initiative to get involved.

“We had all the events set but this student was so per-suasive that she convinced us that it made a lot of sense,” Simon said.

In addition to the panel, OU’s Freedom Movement Oklahoma placed 270 red flags, representing 27 mil-lion modern slaves, in the shape of an X on the South Oval and encouraged peo-ple to draw red X’s — a symbol for human traffick-ing similar to that of breast cancer’s pink ribbon — on their hands as part of End It Movement’s “Shine a Light on Slavery Day” on Tuesday, according to a press release

dated April 8.J o h n

P u t n a m , h u m a n re l a -tions and pub-lic relations ju-nior and mem-ber of Freedom M o v e m e n t O k l a h o m a ’s executive com-m i t t e e , w i l l be part of the panel’s student advocates, ac-cording to the press release.

W e i s s b e -l i e v e s t h a t , along with the power of writ-ing and litera-

ture, the panel will put a face on the cause and allow peo-ple to really connect with the

issue.“I’m hoping the panel

will raise awareness to peo-ple who don’t know much about human trafficking. The survivor’s story will be particularly enlightening for people,” Weiss said.

Weiss chose experts in the subject of human trafficking to give speeches and answer questions from the public about the cause, according to Weiss.

One of the guests Weiss chose to be a member of the panel is Kristian Rose, a graduate law student who has started the organiza-tion Law Students Against

Trafficking at OU.R o s e s a i d h e m o s t l y

wants people to get a sense, through numbers and statis-tics, of how severe the issue is both locally and global-ly. Rose warns, though, the issue can be overwhelming when people know the im-mensity, through numbers, of the problem.

“When people are so over-come by the immensity, they sometimes get paralyzed. They think there’s nothing they should do in the face of such evil,” Rose said. “I hope they get a sense of the scope of the issue but more so I hope they get a sense of

how it exists locally as well as logically and how there are practical steps on how they respond.”

Simon and Weiss said the panel of students will include Putnam and Anna Irena Przebinda, with Lucy Mahaffey as moderator.

“ M e l i s s a w a s s o i n -spired—it really demon-strates a student-run event where it’s not just faculty or writers from other countries, it was inspired by the stu-dents themselves,” Simon said. “We hope that students on campus will engage with their peers in things like this.”

Rose, like Weiss, hopes after the panel people will feel empowered to join in the fight against human traf-ficking in any way they can.

“I hope that people leave with a sense of the crushing weight of human trafficking, but also a sense of hope that restoration is happening,” Rose said.

Weiss said she hopes the panel inspires people to form a widespread move-ment and really get involved.

Tonight will be the last time the No. 1 Oklahoma s o f t b a l l t e a m f a c e s a non-conference opponent until the postseason as it hosts North Texas at 6:30 at Marita Hynes Field.

The Sooners (34-2, 3-0 Big 12) are coming off a week-end sweep of No. 17 Baylor, and tonight’s contest will be a tuneup for another Big 12 series beginning Friday at Texas Tech.

Coach Patty Gasso talk-ed about the importance of having one more compet-itive game before the next conference series.

“[The players are] pretty mature in the way of know-ing that we need to get bet-ter,” Gasso said. “Anytime you play someone in anoth-er uniform, it has a different meaning.”
