ELECTIONS

Candidates: different means, same ends Presidential contenders hope to bring students together, CAC offers new events MATT RAVIS

Campus Reporter

SGA OU’s Student Government Association presidential candidates Ernest Ezeugo and Jackson Lisle’s goals for the 2013-2014 school year aim to unite the student body, though in different ways.

Lisle wants to create a comprehensive calendar marking the events of all registered student organizations, he said, according to Daily archives. This would be a simple way to bring the student community together.

Ezeugo is looking to unite the student body by communicating with the administration to combat the rising tuition costs, he said, according to Daily archives.

If elected, Lisle would create an SGA Crew, an ongoing application process that would allow any student to become involved in student government, he said, according to Daily archives. One of Lisle’s priorities is to move SGA applications online in an effort to improve sustainability.

Ezeugo would like to create a “South Oval 2.0,” which would place student government representatives in popular places on campus to make them available to students, he said, according to Daily archives.

He wants to see more open communication and transparency in student government, with mandatory training for registered student organizations, he said.

Sangirardi and Sewell’s successes:

St u d e nt G ov e r n m e nt Association President Joe Sangirardi and Vice President Rainey Sewell said the relationships they’ve established during their terms will stay with them long after the specifics of bills and technical victories are forgotten.

Joking and relaxed in their offices, Sangirardi and Sewell explained they are nostalgic but content with their time as SGA leaders.

“We’re at the point now where we’re getting really reminiscent,” Sangirardi said.

Sangirardi and Sewell’s terms as president and vice president will come to a close with the election of new SGA leadership today a n d We d n e s d a y . B o t h Sangirardi and Sewell have had a successful year in SGA — including an official name change, increased cooperation among branches and streamlining of governmental processes, they said. They hope whoever takes the helm will continue the trend of

“To me, I think it’s the cooperation that all of the student government branches have had this year,” Sangirardi said of what he is most proud of as SGA president.

Sangirardi and Sewell entered their roles facing a tradition of combativeness between SGA, The Oklahoma Daily and even among the student government branches, Sangirardi said.

One of their main goals was to approach SGA leadership with open minds and to work together on major issues, Sangirardi said.

“I think we’ve had unparalleled productivity for the past year, and I think that’s in large part because we’ve gotten along so well and worked to build consensus on everything we’ve done,” Sangirardi said.

CAC Campus Activities Council chair candidates KatieBeth Gardner and Sam Kiehl both bring prior CAC leadership experience to their campaign bids, but they see the organization’s goals for the 2013-2014 fall and spring semesters differently.

Gardner said she wants the Campus Activities Council and the campus to grow and work together, while Kiehl said he wants to focus on strengthening the interpersonal ties of the organization from the inside and incentivize its systems, according to Daily archives.

The International Involvement Fair is the first of five events the Student Government Association has planned for its annual Human Rights Week.

The purpose of Human Rights Week is to raise awareness of domestic and international human rights issues among the campus community, said Rainey Sewell, vice president of SGA and communications senior.

The teamwork established early on by Sangirardi and Sewell allowed them to have success in events throughout the year, such as OU Votes and the Big 12 Student Government Conference.

OU Votes was a campus initiative involving debate and election night watch parties resulting in over 1,000 students turning out to vote in the November election for the president of the United States, Sangirardi and Sewell said.

Sangirardi and Sewell also organized the annual Big 12 Student Government Conference after OU was chosen to host the event, which took place in November. The event, which included delegates from nine of the 10 Big 12 universities, was a huge success and gave other student government leaders a new appreciation for OU, Sangirardi and Sewell said.

A major internal success Sangirardi and Sewell had was reducing the Code Annotated, the document containing governing codes for SGA, by 35 pages.

Continuing the streamlining process, the pair restructured the executive branch to more evenly delegate responsibilities, putting

the chief of staff in charge of the 35-member Cabinet, Sangirardi said.

“Not only do I spend my time differently than other presidents had to before, but I’ve been able to spend it on the things I think a student body president should be spending it on, like making tough decisions,” Sangirardi said.

As part of their re-evaluation of SGA, Sangirardi and Sewell were able to save over $30,000 in student activity

fees by reorganizing SGA programs and raising funds from other university departments, local businesses and student organizations.

Perhaps the most obvious success of Sangirardi and Sewell’s tenure as SGA president and vice president was the name change of the organization from University of Oklahoma Student Ass o ciation to Student Government Association.

Achieved last semester, both agreed the name

change is already having an impact in the current SGA campaigns.

“I hear people saying SGA,” Sangirardi said. “The only time I ever heard UOSA was when it was in the sentence, ‘What is UOSA?’” he said.

Kiehl said if elected he would focus on extending co-programmed events out to even more organizations than before, according to Daily archives. By co-programming events with more multicultural groups on campus, Kiehl said CAC would be able to improve campus diversity programs.

Gardner said support of diversity on campus by means of increasingly working with multicultural groups would be a goal of hers as well, according to Daily archives.

Both Kiehl and Gardner said their campaigns stress diversity and inclusiveness within their respective committees as well as on campus.

and prevent ignorance to social injustices, attended the fair to recruit more members, said David Mahaffey, religious studies and professional writing sophomore.

The group also raises awareness of international inequality problems like gay rights problems in Uganda and Russia and female genocide in India and China.

“We’re raising awareness about current inequality issues in society such as continuations of sexism and racism as well as issues of heterosexism and bias against trans people,” Mahaffey said.

Danni Mullins, a microbiology junior running the Amnesty International table, said she joined the organization Monday morning. She had more than a dozen people signed up for the organization by noon.

The Amnesty International table had over a dozen pamphlets and fliers drawing

attention to human rights issues around the world.

There was a flier for Amnesty International’s Urgent Action Network, an organization that asks members to write letters to various individuals and organizations asking them to stop human rights violations.

On one Urgent Action Network postcard, Rebiya K a d e e r, a p r o m i n e n t Uyghur leader in America, said, “I don’t believe that I would be alive today without the support of Amnesty International.”

Amnesty International at OU will be hosting a letter writing party Thursday, Mullin said.

Letter to the editor

Voting is a simple way to be involved Voting is one of the simplest yet most important responsibilities we have as citizens. Every single vote is significant and every single vote matters. It’s one of the few moments when we can express our views and be heard just as equally as any other person.

It’s election time at OU, and when I walk around the South Oval and pass the numerous campaign signs I have to remind myself that it’s not November of 2012. At this time a year ago, we encountered one of the lowest voter turnouts in university history, which, by all tokens, is completely unacceptable.

This time around everything has changed. The positions of SGA leadership are once again contested and so far the candidates have operated methodical campaigns.

This election cycle we’ve been able to witness the full potentials of social media: the combination of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram in the various candidates’ endeavors.

The results have been astounding, and we should all be very proud of the efforts to make students aware of the diverse range of platform issues. I have no doubt that each of these candidates are fantastic fits and highly qualified for the respected positions they vie for. Furthermore, I firmly believe that the future of SGA and our university community as a whole are in good hands moving forward.

That being said, I have a challenge for each and every student: vote. Today at OU voting has never been easier.

In fact, last semester I submitted my own ballot via iPhone on the way to class. The amount of information and campaign resources available today are astounding. It should almost be inexcusable for a student not to vote.

These past few days the campaigning seems almost unavoidable — a Facebook friend changing their profile picture, a user on Twitter retweeting a campaign promise, a compilation of student interviews in a YouTube video and picture of chalking posted on Instagram. In addition, endless links to the campaigns’ websites containing detailed information regarding their respected platforms are readily available. There is no reason for any student to be misinformed. The candidates have reached out, now it’s our turn to respond.

We have a responsibility to inform ourselves and cast our ballots for our student leaders. These leaders make a difference in many ways both at our university and in the surrounding community. I encourage every student take time to look at these candidates and make an educated decision on April 2 and 3, as not only a representative in Student Congress but a concerned fellow classmate. A student government is only as strong as the involvement of its students and together we can show how far we’ve come in only a year.

Don’t just do the right thing, do your duty — vote.

Ozair Naqvi is a member of Student Congress.

Rent a fake mourner for your next funeral F

uneral homes usuOpinion Editor ally are associated with sadness, but I had to laugh when I read about fake mourners. It sounds ridiculous and yet, ingenious.

This rather peculiar business, known as RentAlex Niblett A-Mourner in the U.K., ofalexandra.g.niblett@ou.edu fers professionally trained mourners available to attend funeral services, for a small fee.

For just $68, you can rent a mourner to attend the funeral service. The mourner commits to a 2-hour shift, and will be there to grieve with you and the other attendees.

These fake mourners, or actors, are informed of important details about the deceased person’s life before the funeral just in case the friends or family members approach them and ask questions.

So let’s get this straight; people pay actors to show up at their loved one’s funeral, prep them beforehand with the deceased’s biography, grieve with them at the funeral, watch them cry and “relate” to the other attendees, say goodbye and move on with their lives. Am I the only one who finds this unusual?

If this floats your boat, I can respect that. It does, however, make me question just how special the deceased person was if it is necessary to hire complete strangers to act like they personally knew him or her. Is grieving with those whose lives were actually touched by this person not enough? It’s a question worth considering.

I was curious to know if there are places in Norman offering this special service. Havenbrook Funeral Home does not employ fake mourners, nor does Primrose Funeral Service, both located here in Norman.

General Manager of Primrose Funeral Services John Davenport said he has heard about a funeral home in the Dallas area offering this service, but not locally.

“We do not have any fake mourners on our staff,” Davenport said. “I am unaware of any (funeral homes) in Norman or even in Oklahoma City that do.”

The funeral home Davenport referred to in Dallas is called Golden Gate Funeral Home. This funeral home has been in business since 1980 and was recently featured on an episode of TLC’s new reality show “Best Funeral Ever.”

In a phone interview with one of Golden Gate’s funeral directors Carolyn Haynes, she explained what a fake mourner is and how the process works at Golden Gate, but not before quickly correcting me on something — these actors aren’t fake mourners, they are professional mourners.

Whoops. Is there really a difference though?

“A professional mourner is a person that a family can hire to come to the service to mourn over the deceased, and they can (act) softly … just sit there and just tear. Or they can actually show an expression of how they feel about the person that has passed away,” Haynes said.

“These people are trained to show these emotions … and out loud.”

“A professional Golden Gate’s professionmourner is a person al mourners are required to take a training class to learn that a family can how to mourn properly, hire to come to the Haynes said. To take the 1.5 hour-long training session, service to mourn have to call in advance over the deceased you and set up an appointment and they can (act) for the next available session, or you can call and softly … just sit make an appointment to there and just tear.” audition for a professional mourner position.

Carol Haynes, If you’re an aspiring Golden Gate Funeral Home actor and don’t go far in Hollywood, you don’t have to worry; with this kind of job, you’ll make money for your emotional acting skills.

Golden Gate charges $250 for each professional mourner to attend a funeral, Haynes said. This means people are really buying into this.

There are, of course, a couple of requirements if you want to be a professional mourner. You have to be 18 or older, and you must be somewhat talented at acting. This is a legitimate business. “[A relative/friend] will meet with the professional

mourner, and they will tell them [how they’d like the professional mourners to mourn], or [a trainer] will evaluate the situation and determine how far they need to go,” Haynes said.

If someone hired a professional mourner to attend my funeral, I would be offended. If anyone hires professional mourners to attend my funeral, I will probably haunt them.

On a serious note, this could be a decent part-time job if you enjoy acting.

TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2013 In coming months, you could be luckier than usual in bringing things to successful conclusions. Although you should be able to depend on Lady Luck’s help, you must also lend a hand.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be extremely careful that you don’t achieve your purposes at the expense of someone else. It would severely damage your image.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Usually you can do quite well in partnership situations, but this isn’t likely to be the case if your aims differ considerably from the other party.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A potentially profitable endeavor that has been dormant for quite some time could become active, but you’ll need to redesign it in order to capitalize on it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t get too closely involved with someone who has a dubious reputation.

Take plenty of time to really find out what your potential partners are all about.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you’re giving a price quote for a job or service, be sure your estimated cost is as accurate as possible. If not, you might work very hard but earn little.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When required to manage a serious

situation for another, don’t treat it indifferently. If you make a mistake, everyone will pay.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you’re not on top of things, someone might seize the reins and make a decision in his or her best interests, not yours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Guard against an inclination to hold on to an idea long after it has proven to be unproductive. It’s important to think on your feet and change your mindset to suit new circumstances.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Strive to be logical when making an assessment that would directly affect your financial position. It would likely prove to be disastrous to put all of your hopes on Lady Luck.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In order to be a true leader, you must not be afraid to take charge of situations, even if you don’t have a lot personally invested in their outcome.

Lyrics create ethereal universe for listeners life & arts columnist

At a glance ‘Dormarion’

T

elekinesis, the name of Seattle’s indie rock artist Michael Benjamin Lerner, released its third album, “Dormarion,” with Merge Records today.

Listeners may be surprised by this album’s mature and well-rounded set of tracks.

Upon listening to the album, I was initially skeptical of the rock sounds that seem to be used by every other artist nowadays. And, admittedly, it took a few listens to truly appreciate most of the songs, but let me be concise and upfront when I say this is a good album.

The first track of the album, “Power Lines,” introduces itself with a quick,

Rating: Released: Today Top tracks: • Power Lines • You Take It Slowly • Symphony

summery strumming and simple vocals, but quickly evolves into a nice balance of vocals and percussion-based rock sounds. The catchy track uses the idea of listeners as a “we,” adventurously “searching” together for some unknown, and ensures the catchiness of the rest of

Seatle-based Telekinesis released its third album, “Dormarion,” today.

the album.

While the next track continues the excited indie rock sound, the lyrics of a few songs caught my attention.

The third track, “Ghosts and Creatures,” is noticeably different in sound from the other songs and this difference represents faintly eerie

feelings of many of the other tracks’ lyrics. A few of the other tracks on the album reference various creatures such as bats and spiders, repetitively.

Although the thought of creepy animals being included in an album is a bit strange, the common thread

throughout the album made for a very complete and smooth transition through consecutive tracks.

While some tracks such as “Island #4” used some eccentric sounds, other tracks, such as “Lean on Me,” were upbeat and sure to put listeners in a friendly mood.

The song “Symphony” was quite gentle, though seemingly representative of the entire album, with lyrics that juxtapose a dreamlike state against the image of machines. Similarly, the album presents a dreamy and continuous listen, while still using the aggressive rock sounds listeners want to hear.

By the end of the album, the last track sums up all of the record’s earlier feels. In “You Take It Slowly,” the artist returns to the balanced feeling of the first track, combining the static, rock sound with clearly enunciated vocals. The lyrics reference a previous track, but are focused in a hopeful idea of potential, giving the song a content feeling of dénouement — a complete closure — to the album, and an unwritten future for the band.

When I took mine out to cut it, my crust almost fell apart. That’s why you should really make sure to

Overall, it tasted just as good and it’s a pretty easy no-bake recipe. I recommend trying it out.

Sooners host OSU in first Bedlam game Cowboys head to Norman to renew heated rivalry Jono Greco

Assistant Sports Editor

The Sooners (25-5, 5-1 Big 12) start off this tough week by welcoming Bedlam foe Oklahoma State for a midweek affair at 6:30 tonight at L. Dale Mitchell Park. The game will not count toward either team’s conference record because it is being played during the week.

But just b e caus e this game is considered a non-conference game does not make it any less important to a rivalry week that ends w ith a threegame set against the Texas Longhorns in Austin.

“This is the first time I’ve experienced the whole rivalry, so I’m excited,” said junior second baseman Hector Lorenzana, who transferred from Howard College. “I’ve been looking forward to it all year.”

A n d f o r L o r e n z a n a’s teammates who haven’t experienced Bedlam baseball before — there are five other newcomers and/or freshmen expected to be in the starting lineup tonight — how they handle tonight’s game and then the Red River Rivalry starting at 6:30 p.m. Friday will be a good sign of how they handle other tough tests throughout the season.

“You play these games — even though they’re very important at the time — you play them to be able to handle the bigger games down the road,” coach Sunny Golloway said. “It’s all part of the process, and it’s all

part of the growth they go through as individuals to how they perform in front of crowds.”

Golloway admitted he didn’t have to tell his younger players what all is going on this week, considering all they read in the media and on social network websites, but he hasn’t had to drill them with how important these next four games are because of how confident he is in them, Golloway said.

“I think this group of freshman will handle itself as well as any group that’s represented our program because of their experience to this point,” he said.

Other than getting the first win in a four-game season series against Oklahoma State (21-6, 3-2 Big 12), a win would give the Sooners the first advantage in state supremacy.

“Getting this win

Senior shortstop Jack Mayfield takes a cut at a pitch during the Sooners’ 2-1 win against Kansas on Friday at L. Dale Mitchell Park.

Mayfield went 1-for-4 during OU’s walk-off, extra-inning victory and 3-for-14 during the series, scoring four of the Sooners 22 runs.

(Tuesday) would mean a little bragging rights for Bedlam,” said freshman relief pitcher Jacob Evans, who has a 0.62 ERA in 29 innings. “Getting the first win out of the way, and it’s going to mean a lot for this program.”

The Sooners will be throwing freshman pitcher Ralph Garza Jr., who is coming off a complete-game outing against Oral Roberts last Tuesday. He allowed one run on three hits while striking out 11 batters in his first career start.

For Garza Jr. to repeat his solid first starting performance, he simply is going to have to repeat what worked a week ago, Garza Jr. said. “(I will) just try to take in what I did to this game,” he said. “Not try to do too much; not try to be better than last game. Just go off what I did last game and go from there. Hopefully it goes the same way.”

But if Garza Jr. is going to

have a chance to win two straight starts, he is going to need the pending weather forecast to stay away from L. Dale Mitchell Park.

According to weather.com, the forecast is supposed to be temperatures in the low40s and high-30s with 80 percent chance of rain.

If the weather is well enough to play ball, then this is a good time for this group of newcomers and

freshmen to get acquainted with what the Bedlam rivalry is all about.

“I heard it’s pretty crazy,” Garza Jr. said. “It’s one of the reasons why I wanted to come here. Just experience that ; to come play in Bedlam and college baseball.”
