PAGE JONES NEWS REPORTER @PAGEOUSM

he OU Board of Regents approved several actions today — but not before holding a surprise celebration to commemorate OU President David Boren and Molly Shi Boren for their 20 years of service to OU. People from throughout OU attended the celebration, held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Beaird Lounge, from students and resident advisers to staff members and alumni.

A small group from the Pride of Oklahoma played OU’s fight song for David and Molly Shi Boren when they made their appearance.

Several groups paid tribute to President Boren and his wife at the meeting, thanking them for their contributions to campus over these 20 years.

After resolutions from the Staff Senate, SGA and the Regents were presented, Molly Shi and David Boren addressed the assembly.

“I think Molly and I are the two most blessed people in the world, to be able to work I think Molly and I somewhere like this,” David Boren said. are the two most David Boren went on to blessed people in thank the students of the past 20 years, saying that the world, to be able he believes OU students to work somewhere are some of the best in like this.”

OU president and first lady David and Molly Shi Boren attend a Regents meeting in Oklahoma Memorial Union Wednesday. University faculty and students surprised the Borens with a celebration marking the 20 years of hard work and achievements President Boren has had at OU. Boren said it’s “not work to be with your best friends and people you love every day.”

past year, according to the press release.

The Meinders Foundation’s gift will support projects focused on curing diabetes and will establish The Meinders Foundation Research Enrichment Endowed Fund at Harold Hamm Diabetes Center in Oklahoma City, according to an OU press release.

After the announcements, the Regents approved naming the OU College of Nursing after Fran and Earl Ziegler. The Zieglers have given approximately $4 million to the College of Nursing over their lifetime, according to the agenda for the October regents meeting.

Naming of the College of Nursing after the Zieglers is due to all their contributions made to the college and in memorial of Fran Ziegler’s passing in 2002, according to the agenda.

The Regents approved the OU administration to begin talks with a construction company to build the new residential colleges.

The residential colleges will target upperclassmen so that they can stay on campus like upperclassmen on other campuses do, David Boren said.

The residential colleges will look similar to Headington Hall but on a smaller scale, and the first two will be located south of Lindsey Street, David Boren said.

Next, the regents approved the renovations to the union’s Chik-fil-A restaurant to accommodate its expanding menu.

The cost of the renovations is estimated at $669,750, which will come from the Housing and Food Services budget, according to the agenda.

Finally, the Regents approved the official re-hiring of Brian Britt as the new director of the Pride of Oklahoma.

Recycling journey of paper and plastic Nationwide efforts

Volunteers wanted to help clean up after football games as part of challenge

News Reporter

When you throw away a newspaper or an aluminum can in one of the recycling bins in the residence halls, what happens to it?

The Daily wanted to know and contacted Brian Ellis, the director of Facilities Management, to explain how the recycling process starts in the residence halls.

Custodians place the recycled items in blue bags and trash items in black bags. The custodians then take the bags and sort them.

The recycle items go to OU’s recycling plant and the trash goes to the dumpster, Ellis said.

Recycling staff dumps the contents in the recycling bags onto a conveyor belt, and then the contents are compressed into bales.

The bales are bundled and packaged for transport to companies that Facilities Management sells the materials to, Ellis said.

All profits made from items recycled go back into

CERAMICS

Artists fire up at Fuego Friday Fundraiser for Red Clay Faction takes place tomorrow DAISY CREAGER News Reporter

The public will have the opportunity to watch art in the making and purchase ceramics made by OU faculty and staff Friday.

Fuego Friday, a ceramic kiln firing demonstration, will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. at the ceramics facility at 401 E. Congress St., according to a press release from the School of Art and Art History.

Literally translated to ‘Fire Friday,’ the event will showcase the art of students and faculty and serve as a fundraiser for the Red Clay Faction, a student-run ceramics group, according to their web page.

Stuart Asprey, a ceramics professor, said attendees will watch artists create pots at the event. “ It ’s pretty stunning.

There’s nothing like it visually,” Asprey said. “[Attendees] will see these red-hot pots being removed from a kiln, be moved to a reduction bucket and then within about 10 minutes, you have a pot in your hand.”

At the event, ceramics students will use salt, Raku ware and high fire reduction kilns to make their pottery, all of which reach temperatures above 1,000 degrees, said studio arts graduate student David Stevens.

Besides having the opportunity to purchase finished pots, the public will be able to purchase pre-made pieces that they can then glaze and put in a kiln at the event, according to the press release.

“You’ll be able to chose from any of the Raku glazes and paint your own pot, then we’ll fire it for you and give it to you so you can take

it home,” Stevens said.

Originally an “iron pour,” an event where molten iron is poured into molds, Fuego Friday has shifted to an event centering on ceramics due to the availability of the professors who run it, Asprey said.

As a result of the isolation of the ceramics building, Fuego Friday serves as an open house for the campus and community, Asprey said.

“I think it’s a really wonderful opportunity for people to see how fun and exciting ceramics can be,” Asprey said. “This really gives the general public a chance to see how much hard work, passion and excitement is

taking place down there.”

The pots will range in price from $10 to $30, and the proceeds will go to student artists and the Red Clay Faction, Stevens said.

The Red Clay Faction will keep 30 percent of each sale, and the rest of the money will be given to the artist, Stevens said.

“It helps students realize that they can make money from their art,” Stevens said.

“If we can show our students that they can make money off of what they love and what their passion is, then we’re successful.”

The money kept by the Red Clay Faction will go toward club meetings, guest speakers and a ceramics conference held by the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, Stevens said.

“There will be lectures, demonstrations and networking,” Asprey said. “It’s a very cutting edge, contemporary gathering of modern artists.”

“A lot of people buy work because they like it, but a lot of people buy work because they like the artist,” Stevens said. “It’s a good thing for our students to get used to selling themselves and their work.”

Although the event falls on Halloween, Asprey is not concerned about attendance, he said.

“I think that since it will be a party-type atmosphere, that it will be okay,” Asprey said. “I think that it will be fun enough, and that it’s early enough in the evening, that it will still allow students and the general public to go out and do Halloween activities afterward.”

German author to lecture on campus Research fellow to visit for week-long event honoring collapse of Berlin Wall EMILY SHARP News Reporter @esharp13

Students and faculty can learn about Nazi Germany’s fascination with Native American culture at a lecture from a traveling scholar in Gittinger Hall on Friday.

Frank Usbeck, a research fellow at Technische Universität in Dresden, Germany, will speak about the representation of Native Americans in Nazi propaganda at an event sponsored by the Department of English and the Native American Studies Program, according to the event’s flyer.

At the lecture, Usbeck will discuss topics from “Fellow Tribesmen,” his book about German national identity and its relationship with the ideas and cultural practices around “Indianthusiasm,” Germans’ romanticized ideas about Native American life, English professor Joshua Nelson said.

Usbeck will deliver a second lecture on Monday in Hester Hall, room 145 as part of a week-long event commemorating the 25th anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall, according to the College of Arts and Sciences website.

Usbeck’s talk will focus on “Indianthusiasm” in Socialist East Germany, according to the website.

Usbeck travels throughout the U.S. delivering lectures and conducting research, English professor Nelson said.

Usbeck knows of OU’s indigenous studies programs and has worked with OU faculty, which convinced him to come to campus, Nelson said.

Everyone is welcome to attend the free lecture, Nelson said.

Reservations for the lecture can be made by contacting Ronda Martin at rkmartin@ou.edu, according to the website.

Hossein Dabiri, Esq. CHRIS MICHIE/THE DAILY

Senior defender Molly Richey keeps her eye on the ball as the Texas Longhorns team makes it way towards OU’s goal on October 24. The Sooner’s lost 0-1.

Sooners look to end season with win at Halloween game Seniors gear up to play their last match, bid an emotional farewell BRADY VARDEMAN Soccer Beat Reporter @BradyVardeman

The Sooner soccer team is practicing at John Crain Field this week rather than its usual practice area.

The reason is that Oklahoma (8-7-3) has only one home game left on the schedule, a Halloween bout with No. 14 Kansas (15-3) at 7 p.m. this Friday.

By the time these two teams square off Friday, it will have been 25 days since OU last recorded a victory. Coach Matt Potter said a win would help boost morale. “I think anytime you can perform well at this point in the season, that’s the most important thing,� he said.

While the Sooners’ four-game losing streak may look unpleasant on paper, Potter said his team has generally executed well over the stretch and simply fallen down in key instants. “We’ve performed in moments in these games, we’ve just come across some good teams,� he said. “The credit goes to them. It’s not that we’re necessarily doing bad.�

Kansas brings a potent offense to Norman, led by midfielder211169A01 Liana Salazar. The junior has found the back of the net 11 times this year, including 4.25" twice in the Jayhawks’ most recent contest against Iowa State. As a team, Kansas has outscored its opponents 33-11.

When the two teams face off under the lights, Oklahoma’s seniors will take to John Crain Field for the final time. The group is the final class to have been led by a Sooner coach other than Potter.

“Whenever there’s a coaching change, it really is just that: change,� Potter said. “Sometimes it’s difficult to convince people of a new vision or philosophy. This group is an incredible group of young women, first and foremost.

They’re going to be successful in whatever they choose to do in life.�

Potter emphasized the character of the seniors off the field as opposed to their play on the field. “They’re very good soccer players but they’re better people,� the coach said. “They’ve been wonderful role models since they’ve gotten here. They’ve invested and done anything and everything we’ve asked of them.�

Potter said their investment has paid off as seniors because they are able to influence the team and play well on the field. The coach continued to speak on each of the three seniors. “Emily Bowman probably hasn’t gotten the minutes she’s craved, but when she’s called upon she’s been magnificent,� he said. “Abby Hodgen has been somewhat of the talisman. Her endeavor drives the team. She’s always creative and hungry. Molly [Richey] is dependable any day and every day. She’s just a special individual.�

Even with the background noise of practice, the genuine tone in Potter’s voice was unmistakable. “I hold them in my heart in high-regard and wish them nothing but the best,� Potterw said.

Friday, the three girls will don their uniforms and step onto John Crain Field for the 38th and final time. If the group of seniors play with even half the emotion of Potter, no one will be surprised to see an upset in Norman.

FILM

‘Horns’ explores complex themes BLOG EDITOR

J

oe Hill’s 2010 novel, “Horns,” utilizes elements of horror, gothic and mystery fiction, with satirical and poignant prose, to weave a tale of love, loss and revenge. Yet Hill also uses his twisted fairytale to explore deeper themes, like Tony Beaulieu religion and the concept of Email@address good and evil. @tonybe787 Above that, “Horns” is an under-the-cards look at what being a man in modern American society entails. This theme has moved from the page to the screen, premiering on Oct. 31 in select theatres.

Ignatius Perrish, the main character, is the prime suspect in the rape and murder of his girlfriend, Merrin Williams, which rocks the small New Hampshire town of Gideon.

Even his parents assume his guilt, and no evidence is available to condemn or exonerate him of the crime.

A year after the murder, Ig has become a bitter and resentful malcontent, the murder of Merrin still officially unsolved. As the novel opens, Ig is recovering from an allnight binge drinking session; he only remembers bits of the night before — driving out to Merrin’s death marker, pissing on a statue of the Virgin Mary — and discovers devilish horns sprouting out of his forehead.

Even after Ig finds out that the mysterious horns give him the ability to see people’s darkest secrets and desires and, better yet, to command them, he is largely helpless in his situation — only uncovering the mystery to his girlfriend’s murder by accident.

That isn’t really the point, though: “Horns” isn’t a murder-mystery. It’s a revenge tale. The more Ig discovers about the night Merrin died, the more his rage and thirst for revenge consume him … and the more of a devil he becomes.

The film adaptation of “Horns,” directed by Alexander Aja, and starring Daniel Radcliffe as Ig Perrish, explores many of the same spaces as the novel. Screenwriter Keith Bunin’s adaptation of the book condenses timeframes, peripheral characters and backstories in order to make the plot more palatable for an hour-and-a-half film. It’s mostly successful at translating the gist of Hill’s story, but with structural caveats.

Daniel Radcliffe gives a remarkable rendering of Ig Perrish and the character’s transition from vulnerable to volatile feels natural and never forced. The film leaves much of the other characters’ backgrounds off screen,

resulting in a rather breathless antagonist, and a few plot holes that viewers unfamiliar with the book may find downright perplexing.

Horror extraordinaire director Alexander Aja also ramps up many of the horror and revenge elements in the original story to create a more clearly-defined genre film, squashing many of the religious and mystical themes from the novel in the process. The result is a less-rounded story weighed down by cumbersome implications from the novel.

Yet “Horns,” the film, still manages to tell an engaging and endearing story, the center of which is the tender love between Ig and his murdered girlfriend, Merrin. At times “Horns” even plays like a Nicolas Sparks movie with more blood and guts, which is likely to make it the perfect date movie this Halloween.

AT A GLANCE ‘HORNS’ Starting: Friday, Oct. 31 Rated: R Genre: Fantasy/ Thriller
