Sustainability degree offers eco-education Combines current science, business, cultural classes for overarching major CHASE COOK The Oklahoma Daily

For the first time, students can focus on multiple aspects of environmental sustainability in a new degree program within the geography department.

The new environmental

sustainability degree is unique because it will offer three different tracks that emphasize the science, business and cultural aspects of sustainability, said Aondover Tarhule, geography department chair.

Sustainability covers how businesses and people are affected by environmental change, said Darren Purcell, assistant professor and undergraduate adviser for the geography department.

“Sustainability is really focused on how we manage our society, how do we manage our businesses to deal with these challenges,” Purcell said. “We want to conceptualize these [issues] and come up with solutions.”

The choice to add the business side will help students learn how companies handle becoming environmentally conscious, Tarhule said. The social emphasis will teach students about

environmental sustainability issues pertaining to certain cultures, Tarhule said.

The degree was broken into three different tracks because of the difficulty in covering all aspects of sustainability, Purcell said.

Nancy Mergler, provost and senior vice president, said the program was spearheaded by the geography department, but it offers interdisciplinary studies from

different colleges. It was created mostly with existing coursework, but some of the upper division courses and the capstone may provide unique coursework, Mergler said.

“I believe this generation of students is passionate to make informed decisions about Mother Earth and the sustainability of SEE DEGREE PAGE 2

The UOSA Undergraduate Student Congress approved to modify a task force at its meeting Tuesday night in Adams Hall.

The Academic Advising Task Force is a part of UOSA that works to improve the advising process at the university.

However, it has been forgotten about and fallen to the wayside, said Jason Robison, Academic Affairs committee chairman.

They have spoken to the people in charge of advising, who expressed interest in UOSA reviving it and allowing for more student input, Robison said.

Originally, the task force was composed of nine members: three from the Faculty Senate, three from the Employee Executive Council and three from UOSA. Now, the body will have two members from each academic college, as well as two representatives chosen by the Academic Affairs committee of UOSA and two chosen by the Academics Department of the UOSA Executive Branch.

Also, Congress approved voting locations for the upcoming November elections. Spots include Dale Hall, University housing, the bus stop in front of Price Hall and the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

They also approved the four members of the election board who will make sure elections are smooth and clean, election board chairwoman Natalie Jester said. Congress was going to expel representative Sam Peyton, who instead resigned.

Question attempts to nullify Voters to decide Sharia law’s SQ 744, prevent amendment place in Oklahoma courts Experts question legality, consequences of conflicting ballot measures LAURA HAMPTON Contributing Writer

Written in response to State Question 744, the intention of State Question 754 is to prohibit the state constitution from imposing predetermined formulas to the legislative appropriations process.

The measure, authored by Rep. Leslie Osborn R-Tuttle, would nullify SQ 744 and also protect the existing legislative process for distributing funds to state entities.

“We have a really good appropriations process at the legislature,” Osborn said.

“And we really try to make an informed decision to spend taxpayer’s money as wisely as possible.”

Rep. Rex Duncan, R-Sand Springs, and Sen. Anthony Sykes, R-Moore, co-authored the measure and commented on SQ 755.

The League of Women Voters hosted a Town Hall meeting Oct. 14 in Norman to discuss SQ 755 and the rest of the upcoming state questions.

At the meeting, OU law professor Rick Tepker said he thinks SQ 755 is a frivolous measure that will disrupt Oklahoma commercial contracts in a global economy.

Tepker said if international law, as a category, is thrown out, than the disruption of commercial expectations may be too difficult for people to negotiate around and continue to have good business.

“As the old conservative adage goes, ‘If it’s not broke, don’t fix it,’” Tepker said. “Well, that needs to be applied with SQ 755.”

DEGREE: Geography program inspired by others nationwide Continued from page 1 living our lives as humans,” Mergler said.

Berrien Moore, college of atmospheric and geographical sciences dean, feels the degree will be great job training.

“All the major companies are creating divisions of sustainability,” Moore said. “[They] are looking at how they sustain their enterprise ... how do they manage an

enterprise for the longterm.”

The degree was created after the geology department held surveys looking at other programs around the country, Tarhule said.

Purcell just returned from a conference regarding sustainability and he feels that OU’s program is competitive.

“Some departments and schools across the country simply took the words environmental off their course

descriptions and slapped on sustainability,” Purcell said.

“We have a clear concentration of courses that are the core that are dealing with sustainability.”

The degree sheets have not been finalized yet, but the degree will require 18 hours of core coursework from one of the three areas of emphasis, Purcell said.

Some classes will be available this spring, but the full degree will be available fall 2011.

Neck ties spell success for OU student Sooner’s self-named tie company may be featured in national magazine DHARA SHETH The Oklahoma Daily

An OU student with a penchant for design is on the verge of making it big with his tie collection.

After creating his own tie company, Hitsman Ties, during the 2009 winter break, health and exercise science senior Michael Hitsman may have ties featured in a spring issue of GQ magazine.

“I have a few of his [Hitsman’s] ties on my desk right now and I really like them, so I will probably be shooting one of his ties for the magazine,” said Lisa Cohen, GQ senior editor.

Cohen received photographs of Hitsman’s ties f ro m o t h e r s e n i o r e d i tors at the magazine and asked Hitsman to send her samples.

“He is already on our radar screen, which is very good,” Cohen said.

After becoming frustrated with the ties available in stores and the prices at which they were offered, Hitsman began making his own ties. He found the material, created the pattern, sewed the tie and pressed it himself.

Upon liking the first tie, Hitsman decided to make 20 more and sell them around campus as an experiment.

“I took the ‘selling out of the back of your car’ method, selling them to guys in my house, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and I wore them around as much as I could so they could sell themselves,” Hitsman said.

After taking this initiative, business started building up, and Hitsman was even asked to make ties for a wedding.

Earlier this month, he launched his online store.

Hitsman’s ties are made of cotton, silk or wool. The ties are priced at either $65 or $75, depending on the

The tie patterns are classic but the tipping — the diamond part at the bottom — is unique for each tie, Hitsman said.

Although he originally made the ties himself, Hitsman now uses MJB Manufacturing to keep up with the growing business.

MJB Manufacturing has made neck-ties for 30 years.

Hitsman’s ties are finished by hand, said Keith Moore, MJB general manager.

Working with clothing is a family trade for Hitsman.

His great-grandfather and grandfather were clothing tailors in Wichita, Kan. Hitsman’s father owned a clothing store and currently owns a custom costumemaking company.

“Honestly, I was praying that I could have some sort of idea that would give me something to do with design,” Hitsman said.

OUR VIEW STATE QUESTION BREAKDOWN

Corn for lieutenant governor Editor’s note: In preparation for the Nov. 2 state elections, The Daily will endorse key candidates and state questions.

Not only will we have our first female governor after the Nov. 2 elections, but we will also have our first male lieutenant governor.

Three candidates are on the ballot: Republican Todd Lamb, Democrat Kenneth Corn, and Independent Richard Prawdzienski.

The role is an important stepping stone for many politicians who may become governor.

This year’s gubernatorial candidates, Republican

Mary Fallin and Democrat Jari Askins, have both served as lieutenant governor.

The lieutenant governor has a role similar to the U.S. vice president : he or she serves as governor when the chief executive officer leaves the state, becomes incapacitated or resigns. He or she serves as Oklahoma State Senate president, casts a vote if there is a tie and presides over joint sessions of the state legislature.

Lieutenant governor serves a four-year term and has no term limitation.

In short, the position is mostly symbolic and doesn’t hold any real power, except

for moments at a time. So why do they run on tickets separate from the gubernatorial candidate?

If they have no major legislative power and are second in command, why would citizens vote on a candidate possibly opposed to the governor?

Our government should make it easier a choice to make and have the candidate for governor pick a running mate, and then voters will get both with one vote.

On Tuesday, we endorsed Democratic candidate Jari Askins for governor. Because we feel candidates for governor and lieutenant governor

ought to run on the same ticket, our endorsement of Askins is also an endorsement of Corn.

Corn is the candidate best suited to fill the “vice president” role of lieutenant governor, and would enforce the check on the Republicandominated legislature.

He has served Oklahoma well in the state senate, proposing cuts to wasteful government programs, such as the Governor’s Cabinet, while holding onto social services that matter.

Comment on this column at OUDaily.com

Daily’s vote The Nov. 2 election includes 11 state questions. The Daily will outline each question and form their opinion. For information on today’s questions, see page 1.

SQ 754 —

We say: NO

Written for the sole purpose of countering SQ 744, this measure has the potential to take the power of prioritizing the state budget out of the hands of the lawmakers with prohibitions on ways lawmakers decide to appropriate funds.

The ballot language also makes it permanent, which could be a major hindrance in the future.

SQ 755 —

We say: NO

Oklahoma couldn’t miss out on the Islamophobia in America. If passed, SQ 755 would outlaw the use of Sharia Law in state courts. The idea that these courts use or could use Sharia is ridiculous, and the measure implies Oklahoma’s Muslims are all extremists trying to subvert U.S. laws. Let’s not marginalize the state’s Muslim population.

COLUMN

How and why State Question 754 a misguided, newspapers reactionary initiative to SQ 744 endorse candidates Editor’s note: The Daily normally runs a media literacy GUEST COLUMN UMN column by Sarah Cavanah, Sarah interim executive director of Cavanah Oklahoma Scholastic Media and former Daily staff writer, every week to give readers a behind-the-scenes look at The Daily and media coverage in general.

Civil discourse in the media does happen. Unfortunately, it often happens behind closed doors.

Monday, I got the rare opportunity to watch as The Daily decided which gubernatorial candidate it would endorse.

Most newspapers issue endorsements before elections, but most don’t let anyone see how they come to their decisions.

Not every paper issues endorsements. In recent years, the paper has gone back and forth on the policy. After all, the philosophy of American newspapers is to provide information so the public can make informed decisions, not to tell the public which decisions to make.

I know something about the candidates and issues in this election. But other than to assure us that they are “conservative,” Oklahoma candidates this year have been a little low on specifics in their statements.

The Daily put out a great election guide, but even then newspaper objectivity can sometimes get in the way of common sense. Newspapers hold that they have to give both sides time, even if one side is patently ridiculous and completely irrelevant (looking at you, “No Sharia Law” question).

Many people think it’s perfectly reasonable to let journalists who spend all day researching, talking, writing and reporting about politics to give their more biased opinions.

And that’s what I took away from watching The Daily debate the candidates for governor — they know their stuff.

Listening to some of The Daily’s editorial board list of possible outcomes of either side winning, including expected countermoves of minor players in Oklahoma’s legislature, reminded me of what the Sunday political talk shows used to be like. There was fair assessment, members playing devil’s advocate and no concern for how someone down the line would take something out of context and ruin a career.

No one cried. No one insulted each other. No one pandered to some small but influential group. They discussed — reasonably. The only heated moment came when they were debating whether using an aspect of one of the candidates’ past was fair journalistically or important for the endorsement. Many thought it couldn’t be proven conclusively and another thought that it was frustrating to not be able to point out what they saw as a major hypocrisy in one candidate’s campaign position.

In the end, though, they came to agreement and no one called anyone any names. The endorsement ran in Tuesday’s paper. You may not agree with The Daily’s position, but I can assure you the editors put a lot of thought and effort into it. I only wish we could see more of that process every day, instead of the unfounded accusations, ratings and reader grabs and general viciousness that have seeped into American media like a toxic sludge.

I’m sure that we’ve all heard plenty about State Question 744 and what i t s u p p o s e d l y w i l l d o.

However, another state question has been posed to the public in response to SQ 744 — and despite the problems it could potentially bring up, it’s getting rather little press.

The title of this sleeper is the No Mandated State Expenditures Act, or State Question 754. What it will do is prevent the state constitution from mandating the legislature to use predetermined formulas, expenditures of other states or expenditures of any entity in determining appropriations of funds.

In essence, it is an attempt to stop SQ 744 through a back door approach.

SQ 744 would increase per pupil spending to the regional average, and set that to the minimum expenditure.

State Question 754 blocks the education initiative, in particular, through a clause stating it applies to measures passed at the same

time. Altogether, this sounds a bit small-minded in purpose for something put before the people to decide.

Now here’s the kicker: Within the wording of SQ 754 is the small detail stating the measure can neither be amended nor repealed.

That’s right, once it’s on the books it is stuck on the books. And what if both 744 and 754 pass?

This leaves little doubt that if both pass, it will likely require years of litigation to resolve the issue, costing legal time and taxpayer money.”

Needless to say there would be many issues with the situation. In most states, the situation is cut and dry.

Conflicting measures would be decided by the measure that receives the most votes.

The problem for us is that what happens in such a

situation is rather vague, according to Oklahoma law. This leaves little doubt that if both pass, it will likely require years of litigation to resolve the issue, costing legal time and taxpayer money.

So who authored this squirrely legislation? State Sen. Todd Lamb, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor. I won’t go into detail as to my own position on the man, other than say I was not at all surprised to see his name on this bill.

What surprises me, however, is who has been the most vocally opposed to SQ 754. Askins opposes it, Fallin can’t make up her mind — but former gubernatorial candidate and tea party sweetheart Randy Brogdon has been the one to step up and publicly denounce this piece of legal pettiness.

According to Brogdon, 754 will jeopardize 26 funding formulas used for determining appropriations (he counted).

Honestly, this is the first time I’ve ever agreed with him on any point that I’ve

STAFF COLUMN MN

Buck Roberson

heard him speak about. As usual though, Brogdon’s heart is in the right spot but his head isn’t.

The wording of the state question is “constitutional formulas,” not legislative formulas. All it would do is prevent the constitution from mandating the use of specific formulas, so in reality the legislature can use whatever methods they so choose.

Thus SQ 754 would do little other than try to block 744 and end up stuck on the books, an amendment as pointless as it would be permanent.

Even if you oppose State Question 744, don’t vote for 754. It’s legal trash.

Comment on this column at OUDaily.com

As seen on OUDaily.com » Editor’s note: This comment appeared online in response to The Daily’s Monday editorial, “OUR VIEW: Look at the facts — Vote ‘no’ on SQ 744.” In preparation for the Nov. 2 state elections, The Daily will endorse key candidates and state questions.

Oklahoma politicians are the HIGHEST paid in the region, and yet our education is the LOWEST. Arkansas legislators make less than half of what Oklahoma’s do, their people make less per capita than Oklahoma’s — and yet they invest more in education than we do. But we can’t afford 744?

YES WE CAN. It would require going over the budget, yes, but we should be doing that anyway. If Arkansas can afford to spend much more per child than Oklahoma, while they make less per capita, then we can afford some cuts in certain areas. Also, this is a comparison to just one state in the region - look at Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico, all of whom pay their legislators even less than Arkansas does - and all of whom spend much more per child in education.

The bill cannot lay out specifics as to how it will be paid; we do not know what future problems may come, and saying “it will be paid through this means” would cause more problems. It’s actually better for the bill to allow the budgetary committees to come up with a means to pay for education than to decide for them.

— Sarah Cavanah, professional writing and journalism graduate

As far as other state agencies being cut, the question you need to ask is this: where are your priorities? If education is at the top of the list, then it should be funded FIRST. How about cuts to the amount of money we spend incarcerating those on non-violent drug charges? Oklahoma has some of the highest incarceration rates in the country, yet does not have the highest crime rates this does not make sense.

If you argue that other agencies cannot afford to be cut to make way for education, fine. But do not say that education is among your highest priorities — that would be a lie. If you do not believe that the Oklahoma government could afford cuts to other places in favor of education, fine - but do not tell me that you believe in the importance of education, because that is a lie. Your words need to match with your actions, and if you truly believe that education is one of the most important things we can do for our children, then vote YES on 744. If you vote no, then you lose your right to claim that you believe education is important.

South still winning division war Three Big 12 North teams beat South teams Saturday in cross-division play. That doesn’t mean the winds of change are sweeping in the North’s favor.

Iowa State, Nebraska and Missouri all picked up key wins over Texas, Oklahoma State and OU. Texas Tech, Baylor and Texas A&M also downed Colorado, Kansas State and Kansas. That’s a 3-3 record for the North, improving its overall crossdivision record to 5-7.

After Saturday’s conference games, the idea that the North may be taking over this season has crossed a few minds.

Though the South lost a few battles, it’s still winning the war.

Missouri and Nebraska are the North’s heavy-hitters. After this season, the Huskers are headed to the Big Ten. Sprinkle in that Colorado’s also jetting for the Pac-10 — when do we start saying Pac-12? — and the North’s just one contender.

The Big 12 also will switch to a round-robin format for conference play next season. That means no more

@OUDailySports Coach Bob Stoops Follow The Daily’s sports desk Twitter for quotes from coach Bob Stoops’ weekly Tuesday press conferences.

Stoops: You have three opportunities inside the 20 yard line and come away with zero points, you’ve really jeopardized your chance to win. #Sooners

Stoops: Give Missouri the credit — they made the plays in the fourth quarter and we did not. #Sooners

Stoops: Colorado is a much better team than its record reflects. #Sooners SUE OGROCKI/AP PHOTO

Nebraska redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez passes during the Nebraska-Oklahoma State football game Saturday in Stillwater. The Cornhuskers beat the Cowboys 51-41.

Stoops: We have invested in kickers, more so than anybody. It’s frustrating. (3 kickers, 1 punter on scholarship with 1 more kicker promised a scholarship) #Sooners

Stoops: I’m very aware of our inconsistency kicking the North Division and South Division, no sides to compete for supremacy, no more conference civil war and no more championship game prize waiting at the end.

Kansas State’s 35-7 win over OU in the 2003 Big 12 Championship evened the titles 4-4. It was also the last

time a North team has won.

The South is 6-0 since then.

Even if the Huskers or Tigers win this last one, the North waited too long to jump back to relevance.

Every South team has a winning record. The North has only three above .500.

When it’s everyone against

everyone next season, no one will care whether a team used to be North or South.

When Big 12 football ends in January, so does any chance the North might have had to be the top dogs.

ball. It’ll be on my mind the rest of the year. #Sooners

Stoops, on missing Gerald McCoy: How can you not?

He was the third pick in the NFL Draft. You don’t just replace him. #Sooners

Stoops, on the freshmen: You guys know I don’t talk about freshmen classes much, but these guys are really special. #Sooners

Stoops: Ronnell Lewis has a chance to be back this week.

He’s recovering well. #Sooners

Sooner sports stock report RISING: ANA-MARIA CONSTANTINESCU The senior tennis player won her second straight Central Region doubles title Monday, beating the No. 1 seed pair with freshman Alice Radu.

EVEN: BRIANNE BARKER The setter and leader of the volleyball team has put up consistent numbers all season. After putting up 30 assists last weekend against Tech, the junior now has eight straight matches with at least 30 assists.

FALLING: JIMMY STEVENS The junior kicker missed a 30-yard field goal against Mizzou, and football coach Bob Stoops admitted in practice Monday that he’s encouraging his staff to be scouting junior college kickers for next season.

Stoops: In our conference, I think it’s been obvious anybody can beat anybody. #Sooners

Stoops, on coaching own son: No, I don’t think I would.

This job is pressured enough, demanding enough to have family in the middle of it. #Sooners

Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2010 SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) When entertaining, if you permit a pal to bring along an additional guest, you won’t have anyone to blame but yourself if it creates a problem for you. Grin and bear it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Do your best to restrict a sticky family issue to the household. By allowing outsiders to get involved, you are asking for additional problems to be introduced.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - When involved in a group endeavor, try to include people of different stripes and textures so that you don’t have any complaints. Not to do so is asking for big trouble.

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.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Conditions in general indicate that material success is in the making for you. However, unless you display proper acknowledgement to those who have helped you, trouble could ensue.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Proceed with ideas as you envision them and don’t ask for trouble by inviting people to comment on your thoughts. Everyone thinks differently, and you can be sure you’ll find a dissenter.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Don’t try to shift the blame for your personal burdens onto someone else, especially an individual who is always bailing you out. Instead thank that person for being of such great help.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - This should be a pleasant day for you as long as you don’t concentrate on little things that could bug you. Keep in mind that nothing is perfect and something good lurks in everything.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Stop exerting undue pressure on yourself and you won’t deflate your advantages. If you let the day unfold, you’ll find it to be a pleasant one where many happy things will occur.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) When conversing with friends, you should know better than to allow heavy issues to be introduced that would pit one chum against another. Keep your topics light and nonpolitical.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If you want to spoil what should be a very pleasant day, start attacking the family’s spending habits. Keep your grumbles to yourself and concentrate on all the pleasant things in your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - The quickest way to lose a friend is to attack the motives of what your pal is doing. If your conclusions are way out in left field, you would end up losing what should have been a wonderful friendship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - If you’re on a roll, be careful not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Once you achieve your objective, don’t question why things went the way they did, just move on to the next project.

Maggie Moon, human relations senior, browses at Wild Hare Beadery on Campus Corner Tuesday. The store is known for selling jewelry-making supplies and has now expanded to include vintage apparel. Wild Hare is located at 319 White St.

Bead shop branching out Campus Corner boutique offers chance for owner to make a local impact CAITLIN TURNER The Oklahoma Daily

Wild Hare Beadery provides Norman with a unique and diverse selection of beads, jewelry-making accessories and locally made jewelry. The store has now expanded its inventory to include vintage clothing, shoes and accessories.

Reese Truesdell took over and revamped the store a little over a year ago. Truesdell graduated from OU and shortly moved to New York, but after some time in the Big Apple, he realized he needed to head back home to Norman.

“I worked at the bead store when I lived in Norman and the owner of the store offered to let me live in the store and run it for her,” Truesdell said.

“At the time, she was considering shutting down the store.”

After about three months, the former owner revealed that her intentions were to sell the store to Truesdell.

“I think it is a great asset to the community,” Truesdell said. “It is a craft store that is open to the public.”

As a jeweler and craftsman himself, Truesdell also sells his own jewelry in the store and has reaped the benefits of being an artist in a small city.

“You can toil away in big cities and work really hard and never make an impact but here if you want to make something happen for yourself then you can,” Truesdell said.

The vintage clothing part of the store developed over

Kinkeade and Truesdell’s baby, Ellie, is also a featured attraction at the store.

“That is the best part of my job,” Truesdell said. “I get to bring my daughter here every day and have all of our friends and family visit us all the time.”

Wild Hare Beadery offers classes and even parties by request.

“I also do a lot of commission work,” said Truesdell, whose pieces often incorporate the old with the new — mixing antique jewelry with newer chains and charms.

Truesdell is also one of the three founders of Dustbowl Arts Market and he anticipates another collaboration with Norman Music Festival this year.

Guide to Halloween laughs All year, you are respectful of people’s beliefs and ideas. You politely nod your head while others babble on about the economy, the state of pop music and the reason why they stopped buying coffee at Starbucks.

But there is one day out of these 365 that you, darling, get to totally ignore the opinions of others and blatantly mock them to their face. If you are a girl, you have the option of doing this halfnaked — a fact I personally find liberating.

All of Halloween’s significance is tied up in fun-size Snickers and dry ice in your punch bowl — no room for family time or tradition in this holiday. So come on! Let loose a little and reflect on this past year while insulting at least one person at every Monster Mash you fly through.
