Read-out to combat practice of book banning Hundreds of books are challenged yearly for language and cultural reasons ARIANNA PICKARD Campus Reporter

Sections of banned and challenged books will be read aloud Wednesday to protest censorship and re c o g n i z e t h e nat i o na l Banned Book Week.

The OU School of Library and Information Studies and the Oklahoma Library and Information Studies Students Association will

be holding a Read-Out from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday a n d We d n e s day o n t h e South Oval, according to the school’s website.

“Last year, they set up a table and took turns reading aloud, and it was so cute to see all these college students sitting down listening to each other read aloud to teach tolerance,” said Cecelia Brown, professor and

director for the OU School of Library and Information Studies.

Each year, the American Librar y Association receives hundreds of reports from libraries, schools and the media on attempts to ban books in communities

across the country, according to the association’s website. The association holds a Banned Book Week to raise awareness of and condemn censorship to ensure free access to information.

These books are challenged for different reasons, ranging from language to culture to anything that people disagree with, Brown said. A successful challenge results in these books being banned from schools, public libraries

Club sports offer variety 15 registered club sports offer students competitive play level BROOKE HANKINSON Campus Reporter

About half of the sports teams at OU are not NCAA-sanctioned but are club teams that compete despite low support.

There are 15 sports clubs on campus that range from sailing to women’s lacrosse and coed field hockey to paintball, according to OU’s fitness and recreation website.

A club sports is a student

organization registered through Student Life that has met and maintained the established criteria for Sports Club Council membership, according to the fitness and recreation website.

Club sports have many differences from NCAA teams at OU, primarily being scholarships, uniforms and support, women’s rugby club President Torri Triplett said.

Triplett said her club team — the Oklahoma Roses — does not receive any scholarships for school. The team’s funding sources come from alumni donations, fundraisers and funding from

UOSA — about $1,500 a year.

One of the reasons OU has varying club sports versus NCAAsanctioned sports is because of Title IX, which states there has to be a balance of funding and scholarships between men’s and women’s sports. Football takes a large amount of funding for men’s sports, said Nathan Barry, men’s soccer club president.

The men’s soccer club plays in the Oklahoma College Club Soccer League, which includes clubs from Oklahoma schools and the University of Arkansas, Barry said. Teams compete for a full season and then in the league

playoffs after the regular season is over. Barry said he also registers the club in the tournaments throughout the year. For many years, the club has competed in the National Intramural Regional Sports Association’s regional tournament in the fall.

RESEARCH

OU students study fly genitalia Researchers observing flies to find cancer cure PAIGHTEN HARKINS Campus Reporter

An OU researcher is looking in an odd place to better understand cancer and the evolutionary changes that affect the genes that may cause it.

Assistant professor J.P. Masly and a team of students

oud-2012-10-2-a-001,002.indd 1

are studying the genitalia of four closely-related species of fruit flies to find out what causes changes to the shape and size of the posterior lobes of the genital arch — the male fly’s genitalia — and why those changes exist.

This eventually could lead to more information about identifying and treating cancer, considering the team is looking at cell growth and division, which

are both closely related to cancer.

“That, I’ll say, is our long term goal, but it’s not our immediate goal,” Masly said.

The imme diate g oal?

Identifying the functionality of the varying characteristics of the genitalia.

Researchers have studied hundreds of thousands of flies so far — averaging between 25,000 and 30,000 in one sitting, Masly said. Of

the flies they have studied, Masly has observed that the size and shape of the genitalia differed greatly among them. For instance, o n e s p e c i e s’ g e n i t a l i a would be wide and plateaushaped, while another’s was long, straight and relatively thin.

While there are significant changes between the males in the group, the females

Snippets of civic education will be available to the public when OU debuts a website today featuring videos on Amer ican government ,including a weekly series of short lectures called “Freedom 101.”

The website, freedom. ou.edu, will disperse information from the Institute for the American Constitutional Heritage, a program created in 2009 by OU President David Boren to stress the teaching of constitutional foundations as part of the college curriculum, according to a press release.

“Freedom 101” is an ongoing weekly series of eight short lectures on constitutional law and constitutional history given by various OU professors, according to a press release. fre e dom.ou.e du was created by Kyle Harper, director of the institute, as a way to share the resources of the institute with the public, Barteau said.

“Students should be excited about this website because if you have a passion for constitutional studies, but it is not your major, you can access information from this website,” Rachelle Barteau, Institute for the American Constitutional Heritage spokeswoman.

are all practically identical.

Thus, Masly and his team are tr ying to determine the functionality of these changes; such as, if they affect mating success, the number of offspring a male will sire or if a female will choose to mate with that particular male, Masly said.

One of the experiments the lab is running now is comparing the morphological differences between normal flies and flies that have had some gene of interest rendered non-functional, physics sophomore Julie Hall said.

To do this, the researchers replace regions of the genome from one species with the same regions from another. This will help them map regions of the genome that have a large effect on whatever trait the y are studying, Masly said.

Hall joined Masly’s lab this semester through the Undergraduate Research Assistant Program through the Honors College.

the Library Bill of Rights (the AL A’s basic polic y concerning access to information) states that “Librarians and governing bodies should maintain that parents — and only parents — have the right and the responsibility to restrict the access of their children — and only their children — to library resources,” according to the association’s website.

Any censorship by librarians, whether for protection or

any other reason, violates the First Amendment.

“Everybody should be able to read what they want to read,” Brown said.

While banning books can be an institutional practice, people also will go to measures to ban books on their own.

“Some people will go in (to a public library) and hide a book they don’t like or check books out permanently — never to be seen again,”

Brown said.

In addition to going to the Read-Out, people can get involved with fighting this censorship by “just promoting reading and reading what you want and people’s rights to read freely,” Brown said.

Fewer than 60 percent of registered voters Storm Dowd-Lukesh cast ballots in recent storm.dowdlukesh@gmail.com presidential elections, and midterm and local elections range from 5 to 40 percent — not encouraging for those who value participation.

Citizens have complained about low voter turnout for decades. Civil-minded types will point to dismal turnout as a failure to perform basic civil duties.

But voters staying home may be a sign of an improving and established democracy rather than a failing one.

On Nov. 6, millions of Americans will perform their “duties” and walk out of a polling place proudly displaying an “I Voted” sticker, proving they care about their country.

Voter registration drives sprout across the country to preach that regardless of whom you vote for, showing up is positive.

Isn’t it strange for a major reason for voting to be pride?

More importantly, is pushing citizens to the polls at all costs truly beneficial to our democracy?

There are two reasons why low voter turnout actually can benefit government and even representation.

First, those who aren’t motivated to show up to the polls are unlikely to be educated on or have an opinion about the issues and candidates. Apathy is never a good thing, but is ignorantly casting votes any better?

Second, voting on any and every issue as a matter of civic duty means voters will inevitably choose policies or platforms that don’t affect their lives, diluting the weight of every vote cast by an affected citizen.

In some cases, this is okay; an educated voter can choose an option likely to benefit all of society. However, in most instances, unaffected voters will find it hard to understand how they are changing other citizens’ lives.

Voting is a citizen’s right, not a duty. Those who choose to vote, however, ought to understand the civic duty of being an informed voter. There are no points for bubbling in ballot choices without researching their meaning.

Sooners, show up to the polls this November. Show up prepared and for the right reasons.

But understand the “I Voted” sticker doesn’t tell the whole story. Maybe the sticker should include a modifier: “I voted responsibly.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t attempt anything on your own that can be better accomplished with a competent ally. You’ll be far more fortunate doing things with a partner than by yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Something wonderful could happen for you where your work or career is concerned. However, you’ll need to be on your toes, because what develops will require an instant response.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll be on the minds of several friends who are making some out-of-theordinary plans of a social nature.

Lucky you, because you’ll be penciled into their arrangements.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Influences that have a direct effect on your basic requirements and material security are both unique and favorable at present. You’re likely to profit from a strange set of circumstances.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your inclination to attempt to please everybody will end up working to your ultimate benefit. Friends and colleagues whose lives you brighten will, in turn, try to brighten yours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There are all kinds of indications that you are likely to be luckier than usual in arrangements that have profitable potential. What you gain will not be of a temporary nature.

I

’m not a person who starts foaming at the mouth when t h e p h r a s e s “A p p l e announcement” and “preo rd e r l i s t ” a re t h ro w n around, but when I heard the iPhone 5 was coming out — and so close to my birthday — I had to have it.

I’ve only had one iPhone in my life. I got the iPhone 4 for Christmas two years ago and have had the same phone since then — never lost it, never broke it, never watched it fall into a pool and became paralyzed in horror. It’s been a good phone, and I appreciate all it’s done for me. But it’s time for a change.

I got on Apple’s pre-order list on the first day it was available — I did want it as soon as possible but not badly enough to stand in line for hours at the Apple St o re — a n d I h a p p i l y tracked my phone online as it headed from China to Alaska to Kentucky to here.

When the package arrived, I ripped it open and stared in transfixed glee at the shiny beauty of my brand new iPhone 5. The glass was pure and unblemished, there were no mystery scratches on the sides, and the home button worked on the first try without me having to poke it into oblivion. I was in technological heaven.

I compared my new phone with my old one and noticed some major differences right away. As advertised, the iPhone 5 is slightly longer, slightly thinner and slightly lighter than its predecessor.

The back isn’t all-glass but rather a black sheath of other materials. After transferring all my content a n d i n f o r mat i o n t o my new phone and asking Siri some important questions (“Siri, where do babies come from?” — “from their mothers” and “Siri, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop?” —“3481”), I was ready to get down to business.

I love my shiny new phone, but Apple’s slogan that the iPhone 5 is the “biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone,” however is completely off-base.

The iPhone 5 does have an up date d U SB cable, but whether this serves an actual purpose or is merely so people can’t borrow each others’ chargers anymore is unclear. The headphone jack has been moved to the bottom of the phone, which is

really messing with my mind. The headphones, too, are shaped differently and now look like eggs rather than spheres (and are even less comfortable than the old ones).

Other than those aesthetic features, it’s basically the same old thing wrapped up in a slightly-altered package.

The biggest difference is the camera and display quality. The iPhone 5 has an 1136-by-640 resolution retina display, and the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s both had 960-by-640 retina displays — this may not mean much, but in the realm of resolution, bigger numbers always mean better quality.

The camera is still eight megapixels, but the greater screen resolution makes it seem like it takes betterquality photos.

T h e panorama feature is really cool, but I’m not sure

second roundtable discussion General topic: Print vs. Digital Delivery

how often I would use it.

My favorite update is the ability to take photos while simultaneously shooting a video. I go to a lot of concerts, and having to switch from video mode to camera mode when I wanted a picture was always a pain.

There’s also a new feature with iOS 6 called “Do Not D i s t u r b,” w h i c h, w h e n enabled, causes your phone to not light up or vibrate, so you can avoid being disturbed by the outside world — but all of those notifications get captured and appear in the Notification Center when you turn on your phone’s display.

I must be doing something wrong though, because I turned this feature on the other night and still heard/ saw texts from my insomniac friends at 2:30 a.m.

So I don’t think the iPhone 5 is worth the hype. But if you take tons of photos and concert videos like I do, then the updated camera alone is probably worth the upgrade.

Going from the 4 to the 5, I also gained Siri, so that was worth it, too.

However, if your iPhone serves mostly as a tool for texting and playing Angry Birds, then it may be a better idea to stick with your current model.

Having the newest thing is always fun, of course but definitely make a pro/con list before you shell out $300 for a phone that’s barely different from your old one.
