tobacco committee to form next week Boren to choose panel members, spokesman says CHASe CooK

Managing Editor

The tobacco committee to determine the guidelines of a potential smoking ban next semester may be assembled next week, a university spokesman said.

President David Boren is assembling the committee and the plan is to have the committee finished by next week, OU press secretary Michael Nash said.

“There is still more consultation necessary to gather the students, faculty and staff that will make up the committee,” Nash said.

Emails to staff members to volunteer for the committee

were sent out Thursday afternoon by Staff Senate chairwoman Fran Stephens.

The emails asked for staff members to submit their intent to volunteer by mid-day Friday and asked for smokers to come forward as well.

The committee was created by Boren after his State of the University address to the Faculty Senate on Monday.

Boren’s said the reasons

behind creating the committee were to save money from picking up discarded cigarette butts and cleaning damaged benches and trash cans. Boren also cited health reasons as a factor driving his decision to create the tobacco committee.

The administration will have more information on the committee once positions are filled, Nash said.

“I don’t do anything special to get there faster. I cut through the grass sometimes, but I’m always late,” Powell said.

And Powell isn’t the only one who has no shortcut.

“I don’t have any shortcuts; it’s pretty much a straight walk to my classes,” said Michael Wiggins, University College freshman.

As well as being late to class and being forced to sit in the front row everyday because of the lack of seating options, Powell said she is extremely fearful of the bikes, scooters and longboards as she traverses campus.

“I catch myself looking over my shoulder [for them],” Powell said.

The OU volleyball team is back in action this weekend, hosting its second tournament of the season at McCasland Field House.

The Sooners will welcome Boise State, Texas Southern, Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Arkansas-Little Rock for the Oklahoma Invitational.

Oklahoma comes in ranked No. 22 in the country, but reeling from its first losing streak of the season.

After drop- Santiago ping a 3-1 reStrePo match to Miami (Fla.) last Saturday, the Sooners blew a 2-0 lead at Wichita State on Wednesday night, falling to the Shockers, 3-2.

Tootling around campus on a bicycle or blades is the norm for many students at OU. And with the plethora of longboards zipping by, some may forget the art of hoofing it across the South Oval.

This routine mode of transportation is slower than biking or skating, but for one student she is content to keep her feet firmly planted on the ground.

Atheists form campus club

Students create group to push for camaraderie

Campus Reporter

Today around campus A lecture from the 12th Series of David Ross Boyd Lectures, titled “Popular Song as Moral Microcosm,” will take place from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Sam Noble Museum. The lecture is free.

“From Pacifist to Warrior-Christ: Jesus in Medieval Imagination,” a free lecture sponsored by the Medieval Fair, will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in Room A/B of the Norman Public Library, 225 N. Webster Ave. Women’s volleyball will host Texas Southern at 2 p.m. and Arkansas-Little Rock at 7 p.m. at McCasland Field House.

Women’s tennis will host the Sooner Fall Invitational all day at Headington Family Tennis Center.

A new club on campus is working to reverse students’ misconceptions about atheism.

Atheist and Skeptic Association for Progress is one of the newest organizations recognized by OU. The group was founded last semester by junior foreign affairs major Cass Mays.

President Nathan Cranford said many people believe atheism is an absolute claim that no god exists, but it is actually a school of thought that believes in the lack of evidence in the existence of a higher power.

He said he feels prior to the inception of the organization there was not much of an outlet for atheists to socialize with one another, much less congregate on campus.

But Cranford said he thinks the organization serves as a filler to that void.

WHERE: Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Associate’s Room

Philosophy senior Nathan Cranford chalks information about the second meeting of the Atheist and Skeptic Association for Progress student organization Tuesday on the South Oval.

“We also want to be an active voice on campus, so some sort of opposition to the majority of other clubs mostly religious affiliation clubs,” said Cranford, philosophy senior.

Philosophy and civics junior Alexander Graham was one of 10 people who helped start the club.

“I was really just curious to see if there were any other atheists at OU because it

would be nice to have a little bit of camaraderie with somebody that shares like views with you because OU is a very religious place” Graham said.

“Surprisingly, there are quite a few (atheists).”

Reception to the organization has been mainly positive, and Cranford said even a few Christians showed up to the first meeting to see what the group had to say and to better understand an atheist’s

views.

Graham said the club mostly attracts philosophy and sciences majors, such as psychology, physics and engineering.

Zoology and computer science professor Tom Ray is the club’s adviser and was recommended for the club because he is a member of the Norman Naturalism organization.

The club’s goal is not to be a place to rant about religion; rather before each meeting, the club collects specific questions over topics of discussion to take place, for instance “does atheism lead to nihilism?”

As of now there are 30 official members who meet every two weeks on Sundays.

Disney darling pounces into theaters ‘The Lion King’ re-released in 3D

GO AND DO See it in 3D

Laron Chapman

WHEN: 9:05 p.m. today

Students suffering from Disney nostalgia will be given the opportunity to rekindle your cherished childhood memories with the exclusive two-week theatrical release of ‘The Lion King’ in 3D which roars into theatres Friday.

Almost two decades ago, the classic children’s film captivated viewers of all ages, broke major cinematic records and influenced an entire generation.

WHERE: Moore Warren Theatre, 1000 S. Telephone Road, Moore.

The added 3D is the only refinement made to the film.

As a pre-Pixar, traditional animation feature, the film’s change reflect our current, tech-savvy culture.

Film and media studies professor Katrina Boyd said

Disney Studios has always managed to produce impacting films without unnecessary gimmicks.

Boyd said she isn’t a fan of the film’s re-release.

“The film is sufficient in its original form, gripping children on a primal level,” Boyd said.

Following its theatrical release in 1994, “The Lion King” became the highest grossing animated film of all time.

The film’s music also won two Academy Awards, for Best Original Score by Hans Zimmer and Best Original Song by Elton John and Tim Rice, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”

“‘The Lion King’ teaches young viewers the value and importance of friendship, manhood, perseverance and acceptance.”

Wesley jackson, film and media studies senior

It also inspired a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical in 1997.

Drama graduate student Phoebe Daugherty said the film was ahead of it’s time in regards to provocative storytelling,.

“The Lion King is essentially William Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ relocated in an African Savanna and splashed with color. It is a stirring and timeless tale

of courage, destiny and romance made applicable for kids,” Daugherty said.

The film has the power to inspire and educate young viewers about a myriad of issues, said Wesley Jackson, film and media studies senior.

Jackson took a Children’s Cinema course last year that gave him a unique perspective on the film, which he had not tapped into as a child.

“‘The Lion King’ teaches young viewers the value and importance of friendship, manhood, perseverance and acceptance. It demonstrates how courage solidifies one’s place in their community,” Jackson said.

While spr inkle d w ith cheerful humor and vibrant images, many of the film’s themes are mature and challenging, film and media studies senior Macy Hoover said.

“I remember weeping like a baby when Simba’s father, Mufasa, was trampled to death by a stampede of wildebeest. I haven’t re-watched the film since it first came out,” Hoover said.

Students’ feelings cloudy with a chance of moodiness Weather shift calls for clothing change Brooke Buckmaster Life & Arts Reporter

After what seemed like an endless summer drought, central Oklahoma finally experienced a drop in temperature Thursday that drastically changed students’ usual day wear.

T h u r s d a y ’s h i g h w a s 64 degrees at 2:30 a.m. — jeans and coat weather — a dramatic change from Wednesday’s 86 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The feelings among the OU student body about the weather were not mutual.

University College freshman Alexandra Arcuri expressed no discomfort with the mildly cold air. Wearing merely blue jean shorts and a T-shirt, she had no complaints.

“I don’t really think its that cold,” Arcuri said. “I’m okay with basically any weather, it’s a nice change from the constant drought.”

Some such as Arcuri showed no discomfort in summer attire; others dressed as if preparing for a blizzard.

“It’s really cold and I wish it would be summer again.

Some students said they found the weather change annoying.

Despite the drizzle, students and faculty didn’t let the inconvenience affect their schedules.

Anthropology sophomore Alyssa McCollon said that she likes to expect the unexpected Oklahoma weather.

“I love this weather, it’s my favorite,” McCollon said.

“Whether it’s a million degrees or raining — you get used to the bipolar-ness.”

The weather change has affected everyone in different ways. But the weather shift does not stop here.

According to the National Weather Service, Saturday’s temperature is predicted to rise to the mid-80s.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Smoking ban result of factors We are very pleased to see that OU is having a serious discussion about smoking on our campus.

Already more than 530 U.S. colleges and universities are completely smoke free, which in Oklahoma includes the OU Health Sciences Center, the OU Tulsa Campus, Oklahoma State University-Stillwater Campus, Oklahoma State University-Tulsa Campus, University of Central Oklahoma, Oklahoma City University and the University of Tulsa.

Numerous factors motivate the decision to become smoke-free: • First, secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in nonsmokers, who have chosen not to smoke.

• Second, secondhand smoke causes heart disease in adults, with recent studies finding that smoke-free laws reduce the rate of heart attacks by an average of 17 percent in just the first year after adoption, with the largest reduction occurring in nonsmokers.

• Third, the National Cancer Institute has concluded that “there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke.”

• Fourth, eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke on the Norman campus will have a direct and significant positive effect on the cost of employee benefits over time.

For these reasons the Faculty Senate passed a resolution in March 2010 with overwhelming support requesting that the Norman campus become tobacco free.

The following year in May, the Faculty Senate also passed a wide-ranging resolution on wellness that reiterated this request and that was approved unanimously with one abstention.

U.S. economy closely tied to Europe’s

T

he European OPINION COLUMNIST Union is so very far away from our day-to-day lives but its economy is something that could really hurt our own fragile slow recovery.

The economic powerhouse that is the Zachary Carrell European Union has zachary.d.carrell-1@ou.edu been weakened considerably after the worldwide recession in 2008. U.S. banks were closely tied to their European counterparts and to many of the nations that make up this economic and political union, and when the bubble burst, it left the Western world in financial chaos.

Greece has been one of the most troubled governments during the economic downturn. Its finances were closely tied to the American banking sector and its government spending was beyond its capacity to sustain. This led to a substantial debt that has brought the nation of Greece to the edge of default.

Last weekend, the fear of a Greek default reignited the belief that the European Union was possibly near collapse. The measures that the “Our economy European powers took to stabilize Greece are not working, and there is very closely is great worry that French and German banks — which hold a connected considerable amount of Greece’s to Europe debt in the form of government instability and issued bonds — will be unable to uncertainty can handle such a collapse.

The German government, only hurt our which single-handedly held the growth.”

European Union together, is facing an ever-more-unhappy domestic situation, as the German people grow tired of their tax money going to save other EU nations. The French state also is facing a difficult problem. Its major banks are holders of a lot of the Greek debt, and they were a major part of the toxic asset trading that lead to the recession in the first place. Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and other poorer EU member countries are facing their own financial crises.

The EU looks more and more unstable by the day. Our economy is very closely connected to Europe’s — instability and uncertainty can only hurt our growth, which is key in fixing the 9 percent national unemployment rate.

This is not the end of our society, but it is something that will hold back our recovery. Globalization has tied our fate to our neighbors, and unfortunately there is not much our state can do to alleviate the situation. We can only hope that leaders of Europe will find a solution soon before more damage is done. A Greek default would possibly cause a domino effect that would surely bring down a major part of the global economy and launch us into another recession.

One thing is very clear: We are far from getting out of the shadow of the recession, and we can only expect that our own markets and economy will continue to wildly shift. Lets hope that the United States has stabilized its economic foundation enough to weather this European storm.

FRIDAY, SEPT FRIDAY SEPT. 16 16, 2011 20 Conditions look extremely favorable for you in the year ahead, involving several major constructive changes that need to be made. Even if it isn’t you who precipitates them, they will turn out to be to your liking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Seek out a friend who has had similar experiences to what you’re going through right now.

This person can provide you with the solution to a problem that is plaguing you.

She is telling you that it might be worthwhile to give it your undivided attention.

Instructions: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you go out of your way to be warm, friendly and generous, your associates will imitate your behavior. Needless to say, it’ll be worth it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Rewards for work well done are likely to be far grander than usual, not just in the material sense, but in personal ways as well. It’s imperative that you do your best.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- As long as you maintain control over an operation in which you’re involved, you will generate desirable results. Think twice about delegating matters of importance to a surrogate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although something with far-reaching positive effects could develop, you’re not likely to be aware of all it can offer you. Stay on top of matters.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Without explanation, you might be pleasantly received by someone who has treated you with indifference up until now.

Accept the results when you get them, without resurrecting the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Lady Luck could help further your aims if you adopt a more positive mode of operation. Set your sights higher than usual and have faith in your talents and abilities.

Cougars to invade Norman OU to square off with BYU for first time Saturday

Continued from page 1 having a good team mentality ultimately is what led to the loss.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t have everybody on board with [Dunn], so that’s what hurt us,” Restrepo said. “We just have to be better about being a team and contributing to the cause.”

Restrepo said the strategy for this tournament will be geared toward getting everyone on the court and working out a definite lineup for conference play, which begins Sept. 21.

“I think the bottom line is we’re trying to give opportunities to players that didn’t play that much,” Restrepo said, “a chance to play to see that they can show what they’re capable of doing and where we go from here.”

Sports Reporter

Oklahoma soccer (4-4) looks to break away from its .500-record mark when the Sooners host BYU (4-1-2) at 3 p.m. Saturday in Norman.

Saturday’s meeting against the Cougars will be the first meeting of the two programs and the last nonconference home game for OU. While the offense has been inconsistent in its weekend performances, the Sooners have plenty of scoring options to claw at the Cougars’ defense. Four players on OU’s roster have three goals each, while four Sooners have two or more assists.

Sophomore forward Amy Petrikin stepped up her game last weekend, scoring two of the three goals against Arizona. Petrikin scored her first career goal against Missouri State on Sept. 4, placing the Tulsa native on opponents’ offensive scouting reports.

OU is still relying on last year’s scoring duo, junior forwards Dria Hampton and Caitlin Mooney. The teammates combine for six goals and five assists already this season.

Defender Michelle Alexander doesn’t fly under the scoring radar either, collecting three of her seven total career goals so far this year. After scoring two goals in each of the past two years, Alexander’s ability to attack the defense with her quick feet and versatility on the run has made this senior a

BYU hasn’t lost a game since Aug. 26 and are 3-0-1 in the last four outings. Senior goalkeeper McKinzie Olson is a key factor in maintaining that streak, posting 29 saves

and two shutouts through seven games played.

The Cougars have a trio of forwards with two goals apiece in Jennie Marshall, Colette Jepson and Auna Doria.

With a total six goals and four assists between the three players, BYU’s offense is led by these teammates, who also combine for 58 of the Cougars’ 122 total shots taken this year.

Sooners set sights on second victory Rotating players during Saturday’s game will keep receivers fresh against FSU Greg Fewell

Assistant Sports Editor

Two seasons ago, OU’s receivers were inconsistent, contributing to the worry that quarterback Landry Jones couldn’t handle the burden of filling in for Sam Bradford.

Things now are different after two years. Jones, now a junior, is one of the leading candidates for the Heisman Trophy, and OU has depth at the wide receiver position.

The Sooners played their first game of the season against Tulsa without sophomore Kenny Stills, the team’s second-leading receiver from last season, and gained 417 yards through the air.

Senior Ryan Broyles, one of the nation’s top receivers, caught 14 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown. OU’s second-leading receiver was sophomore Trey Franks, who made the most of his first-ever collegiate start by hauling in seven catches for 74 yards.

Dejuan Miller also saw significant playing time. While his two catches for 14 yards do not jump off the page, the senior made some crucial catches over the middle and showed the physical presence coaches were talking about all spring.

Rounding out the receiver rotation was freshman Kameel Jackson, who made

a nice play to turn the corner and gain 18 yards with his first reception in crimson.

While Broyles and Franks saw the majority of time at wideout, receivers coach Jay Norvell said he plans to rotate players a lot more against Florida State to keep fresh legs on the field.

“It’s going to be an emotional game, and it will be warm down there. So, I can see us playing more guys, and we’ve kind of gone into this game that way,” Norvell said.

“We won’t be afraid to rotate and get guys on the field. We need them to be playing as hard as they possibly can when they’re out there, so if we need to play them in waves, that’s what we’ll do.”

Norvell said Jackson has continued to improve in practice and could see more playing time.

With Stills back and sophomore running back Roy Finch’s ability in the slot, the Sooners should be able to sub in and out without losing talent on the field.

However, a key to this game is how the rest of the receiver corps reacts when Broyles faces double teams.

In 2009, Jones struggled to find a reliable option when No. 85 was double-covered.

But this group of receivers said it is more than capable

of picking up the slack.

“Ryan is one of the best receivers in the nation,” Stills said. “So the other receivers know we have to capitalize on Ryan being double teamed. If the defense is smart, they’re going to double him. As a receiver on the team opposite Ryan, I’m just trying to capitalize on that.”

The other receivers are

ready to do their part when necessary. However, Broyles made it clear he will find a way to get his fair share of catches and said he senses a different kind of attitude in the year’s receivers group.

“I just feel like we’re hungry,” Broyles said. “We’re in the right position right now, and going into this first away game, it’s really going to put a

stamp on the season.”

Though the receivers look improved from this time a year ago, they played Tulsa’s sub-par defense.

Florida State returns every starter in the secondary from a year ago. On top of that, it is a very hungry squad after getting shredded through the air last year in Norman.

But Oklahoma has been

waiting for this game just as long as FSU has, and the Sooners are ready to play.

“We’ve been working hard for this game for a long time,” Norvell said. “And I keep hearing about how Florida State’s been looking forward to this game. We’ve been working hard for this game, too. So we’re anxious to see them on the field.”
