from the IT store hasn’t been part of the deal since January of this year. Federal aid money once paid for anything charged to a student’s bursar account. This changed in July 2008, when the U.S. Department of Education adjusted the nationwide cash management
rules. Federal aid dollars can only be applied to what federal regulations define as “institutional charges,” which include tuition, fees and room and board. The department implemented these changes to limit what federal aid dollars
paid, said Brad Burnett, associate vice president for Enrollment and Student Financial Services. “They just wanted those federal aid dollars to be paid for education and not other services or items that can be see BURSAR paGe 2

Sophomore wide receiver Jaz Reynolds (16) hugs fans after OU’s 38-28 win against the Missouri Tigers on Saturday at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Reynolds made his first start since being suspended and forced to redshirt the 2010 season.
Reynolds embraces shot at redemption Sophomore wide receiver steps up after suspension in 2010 JAMES CORLEY Sports Editor
A good indication a Sooner player has “arrived” is when he is commonly known to OU fans by one name. Landry. Broyles. Dom. Stills. Sam. In OU’s 38-28 shootout against Missouri on Saturday night at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, another player made a case for joining his peers: Jaz. Sophomore wide receiver Jaz Reynolds had

Since that moment, Jaz said he’s been working to get back under the bright lights. After he didn’t see significant time on the field in OU’s first two games this season, he said he started to get down on himself. But he got some sound advice that helped him wait. “My parents told me, ‘Just be patient. Good things come to people who wait.’ I finally got my chance,” he said.

Faith in hand for Oval recruits BLAYKLEE BUCHANAN Campus Reporter
Every so often, students begin the daily bustle through the South Oval and ask: Why is that kid dressed in a green body suit and trying to get me to join a religious organization? This scene may be unfamiliar to some, but on a college campus, it is one of the many ways religious organizations reach out to potential members. Some might think this alternative recruitment would deter students, but many students see this as a positive approach. The Latter-Day Saints Student Association was spreading the word ab out its Fr iday barbeque on Wednesday in the Oklahoma Memorial Union. Petroleum engineering senior Edson Cafranca of the association said having a table set up does help increase interest. “Well, what we do is, since I’m a student here, if you’re a friend of mine passing by and you see me, you’re more likely to come,” Cafranca said. Shane Kammerer, assistant director at the OU Baptist Student Union, was outside Dale Hall on Thursday with students of Paradigm. People who walked by could write on a piece of paper who they thought God was and attach it to free-standing boards. Kammerer said the purpose of this activity was not to add more members but to spread the word about the Christian organization’s events. Religious studies senior Trevor Clark said the fliers and table set ups didn’t affect his decision to join Paradigm. “Really it was more like relationships with people, friendships with people. [My friends] brought me along. Going to Paradigm was part of the relationship building process,” he said. University College freshman Amy Miller said when she makes her way across campus, the promotions don’t get her to go, necessarily, but rather just keep her informed. “Although I rarely go to the event because of the fliers, it is helpful because it lets me know that they are having an event. That way I can make the choice to go or not,” Miller said.

OU fraternities stride for domesticviolence awareness VICTORIA GARTEN Campus Reporter
Fraternity members strapped on their slingbacks, put on their pumps and strutted across South Greek on Friday to join OU Alpha Chi Omega’s campaign to end domestic violence. The sorority held its first “Walk a Mile in her Shoes” event, an international men’s march to stop rape, sexual assault and gender violence.
The national program began in 2001 after a 20-yearold Alpha Chi Omega member was raped in 1995 and committed suicide on New Year’s Eve of that year. Friday evening’s event began with Andrea Cooper telling her daughter Kristin’s story. It was this story that moved so many fraternity members to support the women on campus. “With so many women present, as well as the fraternities that participated in
