Part one: Alcohol violations in the greek community CARMEN FORMAN • SPECIAL PROJECTS EDITOR

wo campus fraternities have been punished for alcohol violations this semester, and evidence shows these abuses may be a widespread problem in OU’s greek community.

These make the fourth and fifth alcohol strikes given out this calendar year, according to records. Delta Upsilon and Students for a Democratic Society received their first strikes in the spring, while Sigma Chi received a second strike. That makes eight organizations,

with seven of those being fraternities, that have organizational strikes, according to the Student Conduct website.

About nine OU fraternities were under investigation for violations of the Student Alcohol Policy after the first week of the semester, according to emails.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Gamma Delta were notified Oct. 2 of their first strikes for multiple alcohol violations, records show.

The OU alcohol policy states all fraternities and sororities will be dry. That means alcoholic drinks aren’t allowed inside the houses or on the grounds surrounding them. see BOOZE page 3

While these students were off campus, emails and records show student drinking in fraternity houses has been a problem this semester — with two chapters getting organizational strikes for Student Alcohol Policy violations.

Here’s the thing about OU basketball coach Lon Kruger: He doesn’t separate his personal life from his coaching life.

It wouldn’t have worked that way.

There are a lot of people who try to separate family and work, but Kruger said he’s intentionally done the opposite. His wife, Barbara, said that was the only way she could see how balancing the two could work “I don’t even think — by not having to Lon knows, but choose.

A lot of it has to do after our first date, with the way Kruger I knew I wanted to was raised. He grew up in Silver Lake, marry him.”

Kan. When he lived there, the populaBARBARA KRUGER, tion was less than LON KRUGER’S WIFE 1,000.

“We thought we had the best of everything,” Kruger said.

The entire community was supportive. It was a typical small town — everybody knew everything about everybody.

And it was that upbringing that shaped his perspective on life and coaching.

The core of everything came from what he learned from his parents: never think of yourself, if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all and always help others.

It was those same qualities that made Barbara so sure she would marry him after their first date.

“I don’t even think Lon knows, but after our first date, I knew I wanted to marry him,” she said.

The two met when they were both students at Kansas State University. He was a basketball and baseball player, and she was on the pom squad.

“I really always thought baseball would be the career opportunity.

I grew up in the ‘60s thinking I was going to be a major league baseball player.”

Kruger eventually graduated from Kansas State with a degree in business administration.

He never really thought about life after graduation, and his life just took a natural progression into coaching.

If you buy a magazine for 75 cents and sell it for $2, you’ve made a profit.

That’s the simple marketing strategy two college students are using to fight homelessness in the O klahoma City area by producing a magazine for homeless people to sell as a source of income.

Ranya Forgotson, OU marketing senior, is co-founder of The Curbside Chronicle, Oklahoma’s first street paper, or magazine.

Forgotson and her partner created the bi-monthly magazine this summer to bring light to the growing homeless population in Oklahoma, which had increased by 8.8 percent in one year to 5,032 homeless people in 2012, according to the State of Homelessness in America 2013 report conMichelle Nehrenz/The Daily ducted by the Homeless Ranya Forgotson, marketing senior, started The Curbside Chronicle in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma’s first Research Institute. street paper. Homeless people can sell the magazine for profit so they don’t have to panhandle, and artiSo far, Forgotson and cles in the magazine include articles about and by homeless people.

“Social enterprise allows you the opportunity to give them a boost but also allows them to keep their dignity because they’re earning their way.”

Whitley o’connor, sociology and human and organizational development senior, vanderbilt university

her partner have produced three issues of the magazine, which include articles written by and about homeless people in Oklahoma City as well as stories about local businesses and events.

Oftentimes, homeless people are only defined by the situation they’re in, not by who they are, Forgotson said. She wants to help end the stigma surrounding homelessness by providing an opportunity for homeless people to speak out.

Whitley O’Connor, sociology and human and organizational development senior at Vanderbilt University, co-founded the magazine with Forgotson.

O’Connor, an Oklahoma native, had seen the positive impact of street papers in Nashville and wanted to bring a street paper to Oklahoma, he said. “ There’s nothing better than seeing someone

overcome their obstacles,” O’Connor said. “Social enterprise allows you the opportunity to give them a boost but also allows them to keep their dignity because they’re earning their way.”

Forgotson said she has long been passionate about homelessness issues and plans to make a career out of working with nonprofits, so the two were put in contact by a mutual friend and decided to launch The Curbside Chronicle this past summer.

The Curbside Chronicle has had both commercial and social success so far, O’Connor said.

“We’ve sold a few thousand magazines already, and we’re getting a great reception from the community,” O’Connor said.

The current goal of the

in depth What is street paper?

• A street paper is “a newspaper that primarily addresses issues related to poverty and homelessness and is distributed by poor or homeless vendors,” according to the North American Street Newspaper Association.

• There are currently 43 street papers in the U.S. and The Curbside Chronicle is the first one in Oklahoma, Forgotson said.

and a viable source of income by selling copies of the magazine for profit, Forgotson said.

An interested homeless person is given the first 15 copies of the magazine to sell for free, and if they enjoy selling, they can sign a vendor’s contract and buy additional copies of the magazine for 75 cents and sell them for $2.

Forgotson and O’Connor work with their vendors on managing money, helping vendors move into better housing and searching for job opportunities, Forgotson said.

“We have housed two vendors so far and are working to find an apartment for a third right now,” O’Connor said.

The staff at the magazine is currently small, and Forgotson welcomes any students interested in design, reporting or volunteering to assist with the business portion of the magazine, she said.

“We think it’s a great opportunity for college kids, just because we’re in college

doesn’t mean we can’t do big things,” Forgotson said.

Forgotson and O’Connor currently are working to secure grants allowing one or both of them to be fully employed with The Curbside Chronicle following graduation, Forgotson said.

She plans to work with the magazine until she feels it’s sustainable enough to be passed on to new leadership, she said.

BOOZE: Fraternities, club violate policy TIMELINE OF EVENTS Aug. 23 — An underage student, who was taken to the hospital, said she had been drinking at Delta Upsilon, Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Delta Theta parties and possibly slipped a pill at one of the houses.

August

Sept. 8 — A female student was found vomiting in a trashcan near the Walker Center resident adviser office. She said she had taken shots at Delta Upsilon earlier in the night.

Oct. 2 — Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Gamma Delta were notified of their first organizational strikes for multiple alcohol violations.

September

October

Sept. 8 — Four intoxicated Phi Gamma Delta members caused a disturbance at the Stubbeman Village shopping complex, and one was issued a citation for possessing alcohol as a minor.

Aug. 16 — Norman police officers were called to 1029 Chautauqua Ave. on a report of an unconscious person and found members of Beta Theta Pi having a party.

Sept. 20 — Two members of unidentified fraternities left the Oklahoma Memorial Union intoxicated and swaying. Both had fake driver’s licenses.

Source: Records obtained from OU’s Open Records Office

Violations Sigma Alpha Epsilon:

Strike punishments:

• OU police reported numerous members were intoxicated at the chapter’s house when a student fell from the roof on Aug. 13. The man who fell was fine, chapter president William Dille said following the incident.

• A photograph obtained by Student Conduct showed several people, including underage new members, drinking beer inside the house.

• OU police and Student Conduct officials interviewed a woman who reported drinking at a party in the house.

• 22 new members, most of whom were intoxicated, disrupted the Delta Delta Delta philanthropy Delta House of Pancakes.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s president didn’t respond to The Daily’s requests for comment.

“The new SAE members come to this philanthropy event every year intoxicated and with a purpose to be silly, but this was unlike any other year,” a member of Delta Delta Delta said in an email to members of OU Student Conduct and Student Life. Sigma Alpha Epsilon members threw water and food on parents and grandparents, broke at least six chairs, climbed up the fire escape and threw food down, threw food and juice on cars as they left and reeked of alcohol and vomit, she said in the email.

When called for comment, then Delta Delta Delta president Brittany Burge said, “I think that’s kind of over and done with and I appreciate you inquiring, but I’m not interested in answering anything.”

Phi Gamma Delta: • Student Conduct investigated four incidents involving alcohol that occurred within a month of the beginning of the school year.

• The incidents included alcohol found during Student Conduct alcohol checks and people claiming to have consumed alcohol at the chapter house.

• Three underage new members said a large party happened at the house, and they were served alcohol.

• In a written response to the investigation, the chapter failed to take any responsibility for the party or other events but instead mentioned “strong-arm tactics” used by members of Student Conduct.

Phi Gamma Delta’s president didn’t respond to calls or emails for comment.

• Paying Student Conduct a $500 fee • All chapter members must attend an alcohol education program, such as the Sigma Chi Choices program that was created in response to OU student Blake Hammontree’s alcohol-related death in 2004.

• All members are required to work on a community service project.

“At some time or another, we’ve had some allegation or information for most of our chapters,” Ashmore said. “Most of the time, there’s not enough information or no other information that would substantiate a claim of violation.”

While Student Conduct does investigate all allegations, sometimes if violations aren’t as severe, Student Conduct will require chapters to attend alcohol education programs like the Choices program instead of issuing strikes, he said.

The university created the Student Alcohol Policy to educate students on drinking and teach them to drink responsibly, said Clarke Stroud Dean of Students and Vice President for Student Affairs. The policy, enacted in 2005, has decreased “large-scale, complete(ly) open, free-for-all parties,” increased fraternities investing in their houses by fixing them up and created SafeRide as an offshoot, Stroud said.

“We’ve really worked hard to make sure people understand the expectations, but (we) also work toward consistent enforcement year in and year out,” Stroud said. “And again, I think when you look anecdotally at how far we’ve come in the past (eight) years, I think we’ve come a long way in terms of our students behaving and acting responsibly and making better decisions about alcohol.”

The strikes will last for three years and end in 2016.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC ACCESS During the Regular Meeting Of The University of Oklahoma PUBLICATIONS BOARD 9:30 a.m. Friday Copeland Hall, Room 146

Sexual Assault An email to Student Conduct and Student Life employees alleged a rape occurred in one of the fraternity houses. On Sept. 7, a resident in Walker Center asked his resident adviser about the Sexual Misconduct Office. In a private meeting with the RA, the student said a female friend of his had attended a fraternity party the night before and become intoxicated. Once she was drunk, a male “took advantage of her sexually without her consent.” The female student then asked her male friend for help purchasing and taking a morning-after pill.

“The resident was very upset about the situation and in complete shock, thus, the RA conversed with the resident for roughly two and a half hours until the resident felt comfortable enough to return to his roommate for support,” the email said.

Of the 60 cases of sexual assault reported to the Sexual Misconduct Office since 2012, five involved fraternities, according to records from the OU Open Records Office.

These numbers reflect only a portion of the actual number of sexual assaults that happen on campus.

National statistics show about five to 10 percent of He felt as if all of sexual assaults on college campuses are reported to university officials, Title IX Coordinator for the Office of his ability to decide Sexual Misconduct Laura Palk said in an email. what he wanted to Sexual assaults often go unreported because victims do for himself had blame themselves, worry about being believed, fear rebeen taken away.” taliation or worry about getting the perpetrator in trouble, she said.

NATE DEANGELIS, When residents report sexual assaults to RAs, the SENIOR RA job of the RA is to guide students through the process of what happens next, RA Alexa Hudak said. RAs are there to explain the process of filing a report and seeking counseling while being as sympathetic as possible, she said.

Resident director Lena Tenney has helped residents and friends through “more times than (she) can count.”

“It’s made me really wake up to the fact that sexual assault and sexual violence is something that is very real and happens on a weekly basis,” she said. “You can cite as many statistics as you want, but most people don’t recognize it as a real problem until someone has told them their story. And that was me.”

Senior RA Nate DeAngelis said he only dealt with one case of sexual assault — a male resident who reported being assaulted at a fraternity house. The male resident had initially gone to another RA, but she was overwhelmed and directed him to speak with DeAngelis.

“It was one of those things where, had he been sober, he wouldn’t have put himself in the situation that he was in and other people would not have been able to put him in the situation he had been in,” DeAngelis said. “That was a huge part of the reason he came to us. He felt as if all of his ability to decide what he wanted to do for himself had been taken away.”

Editorial

AR Wear is a clothing line that offers wearable protection to prevent rape.

Our View: Don’t be fooled ­— rape culture can affect

anyone at any time, and as students, we need to take care of ourselves and be aware of our surroundings.

On Nov. 4, the University of Wisconsin’s school newspaper, The Badger Herald, received a Letter to the Editor from a Wisconsin political science junior named David Hookstead who claimed that rape culture doesn’t exist in America. We beg to differ.

Hookstead’s argument suggests rape culture doesn’t exist and that it is no different than our country’s murder culture. He also claimed, “(rape culture) aggressively paints men as dangerous and as the root of evil.”

While we disagree with his approach to the subject and his claim The Our View is the majority that rape culture isn’t an actual thing, opinion of Hookstead may have a point in his letThe Daily’s ter. Women are not the only victims of nine-member sexual violence — men are too. editorial board Unfortunately, his argument is about as weak as leaving a tea bag in hot water for five seconds — his letter turns into one long, defensive rant asking “why aren’t we teaching our daughters not to rape” and concluding with, “women are so desperate to demonize men that they’ll lie about being raped.”

While everyone is entitled to express her or his opinion, we find those who believe rape culture does not exist are somewhat naïve and ignorant of the currency — it does exist, and it’s an issue that should be prominently addressed until it is eliminated. Our intentions are not to target Hookstead but, rather, target the issue: rape culture.

Society needs to buckle down on the touchy subject and people need to be aware of situations they put themselves into. OU already educates us with the beginning-of-the-year sexual assault quizzes, and it

can provide us with resources and support systems at the Women’s Outreach Center and Goddard Health Center. But the university can only do so much — we need to educate ourselves to prevent rapes from occurring. You don’t want to be the next victim.

It’s sad that we live in a world where rapists roam and products are manufactured to prevent rape. We condone those individuals who are attempting to find solutions to the rape culture dilemma, but it’s pathetic that anyone should feel it’s necessary to wear underwear rapists will struggle to pull down or other preventative measures such as the rape-aXe. While rapes can occur anywhere at any given time, college campuses are prime locations for such occurrences.

Eighty percent of sexual assault victims are under the age of 30, according the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). The network also claims there are about 237,868 victims of sexual assault every year — that’s almost 10 times the number of students enrolled at OU’s Norman campus.

There are young people all over campus. There’s alcohol consumption at nearly every party, hormones are raging, and there are some who have the audacity to violate others with little to no remorse. Use your common sense and drink responsibly, hang out with friends you trust and report all sexual assaults.

There always will be rapists out there, and if we’re realistic, we can’t get rid of all of them. Eradicating our society’s rape culture would create a safer, healthier place to live.

We need to do everything we can to prevent the rape culture on college campuses from expanding. It’s an uneasy task, but one we can all work toward achieving.

Consumerism supports sex trafficking, forced labor

E

ven now, it’s hard to Opinion Columnist grasp the fact that millions of people are enslaved around the world, including in Texas and Oklahoma.

It shocks me to the think that one human being could enslave another through sex trafficking or forced labor.

John Putnam johnputnam@ou.edu Since first learning about the issue in high school, I’ve never understood how that’s possible. Just thinking about it pisses me off, as it should.

I’m not going to bog you down with numbers that can’t actually be verified. The truth is, no one knows how many people are being enslaved at any given time. What we do know is that the number is in the millions, and hundreds of thousands of those slaves are estimated to be in America.

We know sex trafficking and forced labor don’t just happen to women and children. There are grown men forced into slavery everyday. And while slavery has taken a new form in human trafficking, it’s still slavery. Traffickers may not always use chains the way people did in the Atlantic slave trade, but lies, coercions and threats serve the same purpose.

In October of 2011, the dismembered remains of a woman were found in a field near a grocery store in Mustang, OK — ­ less than an hour from Norman. It is

believed that 19-year-old Carina Saunders was dismembered alive in front of witnesses of a human and drug trafficking ring to coerce them into obedience.

That’s certainly a gruesome scene, maybe an extreme case. But that’s exactly how human trafficking works. Fear and deceit are the newest forms of chains.

In less extreme instances, traffickers simply lie to victims.

They promise jobs and prosperity and have victims travel far away, only to hold them in captivity. This happened to a group of workers from India who became enslaved in a factory in Tulsa, OK in 2002.

Sadly, the owner of the factory never faced jail time and even defended his actions. While this isn’t the norm for Oklahoma, it’s proof that forced labor can happen here, and we all should be aware.

The common thread in all instances of slavery is economics. Trafficking someone is about creating the supply for a demand. Children are drafted into war because militant leaders have a demand for soldiers. Foster children, immigrants and abused women are raped and forced into prostitution because there is a demand for sex. And millions are forced to work against their will for little or no compensation because there is a demand for cheap products.

If we aren’t buying fair trade, living wage or locally made products from trusted companies, there is a good possibility the products we buy are slave-made — especially if they’re cheap. The cocoa in your chocolate, the cotton in your clothing and the bricks that built our beautiful university are just a few of the many products commonly made

through slave labor.

We live in a capitalist society that begs us to consume.

Each day, we see hundreds of advertisements that pervert sex, humor and goodwill that try to convince us to buy products we don’t need. And as consumers, we demand cheap, quality products. Unfortunately, many producers have no problem abusing and enslaving workers to meet that demand.

If we’re going to keep our current economic system, we need to be conscious of the fact that we have a responsibility to the workers who make our products. By paying money to businesses that uses slave labor or don’t monitor where their resources are coming from, you’re are supporting slavery.

If we look back at institutionalized slavery in the South with abhorrence, then why are we content with another form of it? It’s the same beast with a different face, and we feed it.

So let’s do something about. Advocate for the voiceless, educate others, put pressure on your elected officials to create legislative solutions, and most importantly, put pressure on corporations to be transparent about how they make their products and where they obtain their resources — even if this means boycotting certain products. We owe it to the people we enslave.

Coach: Kruger’s experience helped him learn how to turn teams around Continued from page 1 His first head-coaching job came at University of TexasPan American. He was 29 years old.

He made a lot of mistakes, he said, but at that point people weren’t so quick to notice them.

From there, he took on the head coaching role at his alma mater, Kansas State.

While he enjoyed his time there, coaching for his old team put more pressure on him.

“The losses seemed to sting a little bit more,” he said. “There was probably a bit more pressure.”

He was at Kansas State for four years before taking a job at Florida.

There was a lot of turmoil surrounding the program at the time, and Kruger said he wanted to create an atmosphere the fans and players could buy into.

It took two years, but the Gators made it into the NCAA tournament. They played their first two rounds in New York, and then the regional game was in Miami.

It was the closest to a hometown game they were ever going to get in the tournament. The fan support in that game helped propel Kruger’s team to its first-ever Final Four appearance.

“To be able to share in that experience and see them feel good and enjoy it was really great,” he said.

And that’s really where he began his reputation for turning programs around.

Kruger will deny having any part in his success. It’s clear he believes in the players and coaches around him, and he believes that attitude is half of making a team great.

Basketball coach Lon Kruger motions to sub a player in during Oklahoma’s home opener against UNT this season. Lon Kruger has had a great deal of success during his collegiate coaching career, reaching his 500th win last season.

“That’s what it takes to turn around a team,” he said.

“Players that are genuine and who have bought in…

Show them that you’re in it for them.”

“When they see that you’re genuine about that, they want to play for each other and play for the school. They feed off that and start to have a good time competing.”

Barbara was at a loss to describe what has made her husband successful.

are drawn to that.”

His success at the college level is unparalled.

He reached his 500th win last season, and is the only Division I coach to take five teams to the NCAA playoff.

Hi s t i m e i n t h e N BA , though, is a different story.

His stint in the pros with the Atlanta Hawks lasted about three years. Then he was fired.

“It was humbling in a

positive way,” he said.

It was hard to walk into the losing culture in Atlanta, Kruger said. With teams used to winning, things come easier, but when a team is used to losing, things change so quickly. It was hard to implement his style.

“I really believe if he had had more time, he could have turned things around in Atlanta,” his wife said.

The NBA is just a different animal than college basketball, and Kruger had to learn that the hard way. He said the NBA is much more business oriented, instead of making it about people and putting them in the right positions to be effective. He couldn’t do

that in Atlanta.

After his time in the NBA, Kruger came back to college basketball and coached at UNLV. That’s where he met close friend D.J. Allen.

He helped Kruger establish himself at UNLV and push the program farther.

“Lon is just one of those guys you want to play for,” Allen said.

Kruger stayed at UNLV for seven years before coming to Oklahoma.

He’s helped turn around the culture at OU. It’s a school that’s become football-obsessed, and the fans have shifted their attention away from basketball.

Kruger came in, opened up practice, the team and the atmosphere in Oklahoma. He’s urged the student section to by in, and reached his 500th career win. In his second year at OU, he led the Sooners to the NCAA tournament.

Despite all of this, he still remains as humble as always, conscious of who he is and was raised to be.

“It just happens over time,” Kruger said of his win total. “It’s like when you give someone a gift for Christmas, and the best part is watching them open theirs. We’ve had a lot of good fortune and good memories for a lot of young players. Last year’s senior group hadn’t been to NCAA tournament. They’ll have that memory for rest of their lives. That’s really what matters. The number of wins really doesn’t mean too much. But seeing people have good memories and have those relationships for the rest of their lives feels really good.”

Men’s Basketball

Sooners have been active early this season OU takes on Idaho in its third game in five days tonight Ryan Gerbosi Sports Reporter

The beginning of the OU men’s hoops season can be described in one word – active.

The fast-paced Sooners return to the floor tonight for the third time just five days into the college basketball season. OU (2-0) hosts Idaho (1-0) in the last game the Sooners play before an eight-day layoff.

Despite the heavy workload, coach Lon Kruger isn’t too worried about his team’s energy level entering tonight’s matchup.

“It’s something to think about,” Kruger said. “Still we’ve got good depth and we’ve spaced the minutes pretty well so we feel good about the depth we have and hopefully that’ll fight any fatigue.”

OU’s roster depth will be a major benefit when stretches like this are filled with Big 12 opponents instead of early-season warm-ups.

“As the year goes on and fatigue does become more of a factor—or injury—its nice to have that depth,” Kruger said. “We have signs that we’ll be able to play a lot of people and get good production.”

In the first two games, OU showed its ability to

run the floor and play the type of up-tempo offense Kruger has emphasized.

The Sooners averaged 88.5 points in the first two games and staved off both Alabama and North Texas from making comebacks late by continuing to push the tempo.

“We’re really moving the ball offensively and making good plays for each other,” Kruger said. “We’re pushing

the ball out of the backcourt and making shots.”

Sophomores Buddy Hield and Ryan Spangler have been key weapons early.

Hield scored a career-high 19 points against Alabama, only to outdo himself in the home opener, scoring 23 against North Texas.

“The coaches want me to

be aggressive and my teammates keep telling me to be aggressive,” Hield said.

Spangler has asserted himself as the go-to man on the boards. The transfer from Gonzaga is OU’s leading rebounder, averaging 10.5 per game. He was also one rebound away from his second double-double of

the season against North Texas.

While OU’s activity offensively has been encouraging for Sooners fans, other facets of the game haven’t reached the level Kruger wants to see.

“We still have to be a little more aggressive and active defensively,” Kruger said.

“We’ve got to rebound the ball a little more aggressively and that will be a work in progress for a while.”

The defense will have a good shot to get on track against Idaho. The Vandals finished last season 12-18, culminating with a loss in the first round of the WAC tournament. This year’s Idaho squad is 1-0 after beating Western Illinois 67-63 Saturday.

Although the season is underway with a flurry of action, the Idaho game will

be the last for the Sooners until they play the last half of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in Brooklyn, NY on Nov. 22. OU plays Seton Hall to start the tournament before facing either Michigan State or Virginia Tech the next day.

Despite the big trip ahead, Kruger said his team isn’t peeking dow n the schedule to Brooklyn because of the long layoff.

“Maybe if it was on this weekend we might have more concern,” Kruger said.

“But given that it’s 10 days away, they’re looking at this as kind of a key game because we don’t play again for so long.”

Annual event to raise money for art school students

Students and faculty look through bowls made by ceramic students, Fall 2012.

Luke Reynolds

Life & Arts Reporter

There is only one place in Norman where chili enthusiasts can taste 40 different varieties of chili in a handmade bowl of their choosing.

For the past six years the OU School of Art and Art History has hosted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chili Bowlâ&#x20AC;? raising money to support various endeavors the school of art undertakes.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will be 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today in the School of Art and Art Historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second floor Lightwell Gallery.

For the third year in a row, Jessica Upson, Public Relations & Event Coordinator for the School of Art and Art History, has arranged the

Where: School of Art and Art Historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lightwell Gallery Price: $15 for bowl and chili, $8 for chili without a handmade bowl

event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Chili Bowl is a joint effort,â&#x20AC;? Upson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; To make this event happen we depend on our students, faculty, and the public to participate in the Chili Cook-Off portion of the fundraiser.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chili Bowlâ&#x20AC;? is different from many other cookoff competitions because members of Red Clay faction, OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceramics making club, spend countless hours preparing for the event by handcrafting chili bowls to hold the chili sold at the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students and faculty in our ceramics department spend months throwing, glazing and firing 200 ceramic chili bowls for this event,â&#x20AC;? Upson said.

The bowls will be available to purchase for $15, which includes all-you-caneat chili, according to a press release.

The take-home bowls are perfectly safe to hold the hot chili and are also microwave

and dishwasher safe. If participants want chili but not a bowl, the event is $8.

Four judges have volunteered for the event and will spend Wednesday morning tasting over 40 different variations of chili to determine a winner of the event.

The judges include: Bonnie Amspacher, owner of The Diner, Renee Hill of Sooner Legends, Tom Huston Orr, Director of the OU School of Drama and Byron Price, Director of the Charles M. Russell Center and the OU Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our four judges play a mighty role, as they will donate their time and sacrifice their stomachs (for the event),â&#x20AC;? Upson said.

More information for the event can be found on the art schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at ou.edu/ finearts/art_arthistory.html.

HEATHER BROWN/THE DAILY

Our model shows off his Salvation Army finds.

Beaulieu shows off his Goodwill goods.

I

set out with only $20 in my pocket, hunting for a bargain — and it was fucking awesome.

I decided to hit two of Norman’s biggest thrift stores, Goodwill on 12th and Alameda and Salvation Army on Lindsey and McGee. I quickly discovered that not all thrift stores are created equal, but they all have their own strengths.

Goodwill had a great selection of shirts — particularly men’s collared and button-up — but virtually nothing in the way of men’s pants. The jeans were a lost cause, but I did happen to find a pair of corduroys in the khaki section. I’ve always wondered if I could pull off corduroys.

With the pants in the bag, I decided to target my shirt shopping for something that would match khaki corduroys. I settled on a sandy-yellow plaid button-up.

Is plaid still in, you ask? Plaid’s always in, in thrifty town.

Despite its poor pant selection, Goodwill also had a lot of other cool finds, like this trucker’s belt with my name on the back and a new paperback copy of “London Fields” by Kingsley Amis for 99 cents that I couldn’t pass up.

With my clothes, emblazoned “Truckers Move America” belt and a tome of wry British satirical fiction tucked under my arm, I headed on to Salvation Army to find one more outfit.

FINAL TALLY

Goodwill Corduroys: $3.49 Button-up shirt: $3.49 “London Fields” by Martin Amis: 99 cents “Tony” trucker belt: 99 cents Total: $8.96

T

he first thing I noticed about Salvation Army was the higher prices for clothes. Observing that, I decided to reign in my spending as I only had $11.04 remaining in my fund. Since I went more business casual at Goodwill, I decided to go for an outfit at Salvation Army that was more casual casual.

Among Salvation Army’s much wider selection of pants, I was able to find a pair of dark jeans that fit. I then quickly located a grey/black long sleeve shirt to go with it.

While this store had a better selection of pants, the main issue with Salvation Army is, unlike Goodwill, the clothes aren’t organized by size.

This means you really have to be willing to dig to find some wearable clothes. I got lucky and was able to find threads suiting my needs rather quickly. However, I was thankful I didn’t have to buy both outfits at Salvation Army.

This anarchy of organization crossed over into Salvation Army’s other sections as well. The books were only organized by paperback and hardcover. Needless to say, it wasn’t as inviting for extemporaneous shopping.

With $11.04 left, I was able to buy two outfits and some other items. I’d say it was a successful day of popping tags. Macklemore would be proud.

With my remaining six cents, I took a time machine to 1952 and bought a Coke.

Headington Hall is named to honor OU alumnus and tennis letterman Tim Headington, who gave the $10 million lead gift for the residence hall.

Headington earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from OU, and went on to earn graduate degrees in theology and psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena. He was also recognized in 2011 with OU’s highest award, the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.

He is president and founder of the Dallas-headquartered Headington Resources Inc., an independent exploration and production operator in south Texas.

He is also co-founder of the nonprofit Headington Institute, headquartered in Pasadena, Calif., the mission of which is to care for caregivers worldwide by determining the best ways to promote the physical hardiness, emotional resilience and spiritual vitality of humanitarian relief and development personnel.

Headington currently serves on the OU Athletics Director’s Executive Advisory Council and in 2005 he was honored with the OU Regents’ Alumni Award.

Thanks to his generous gift, the 230,000 square-foot, five-story housing center is home to approximately 380 OU students and student-athletes. It includes central dining, computer labs, study rooms, a theater and a faculty-in-residence unit.
