Mustang statue an OU staple for some residents

T

RYAN BLACKBURN • CAMPUS REPORTER

he feral horse had been rearing back outside the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, along the intersection of Boyd Street and and Elm Avenue for about seven years.

The black horse, with its glowing red eyes, left its street-side location in 2012 for repairs, prompting a whirlwind of discussion about the horse’s whereabouts and its place of prominence in Norman culture.

Mustang, created and sculpted by Luis Jiménez, was given to the university in 1998

by Jerome M. and Wanda Otey Westheimer, said Mark White, chief curator of the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. For many Norman residents, the horse became a staple of the city’s culture, whether they liked it or not.

“I think I liked the statue because it was controversial,” said Mark Levy, Norman

resident and an English teacher at Norman High School. “Even if you don’t like it, it’s hard not to notice it and talk about it.”

While the sculpture was one of many gifts by the Westheimer family, Mustang stands out because of its glowing red eyes and former place of prominence on Boyd Street.

Thus, when it was moved, some Norman citizens were concerned.

“I like the statue; I remember when it was installed,” Norman resident Craig Nolan said.

“I’m disappointed it’s not outside anymore,

“Mustang” originally was installed on the corner of Boyd and Elm in July 1998. In 1999, the statue was moved inside to be included in a Luis Jimenez exhibit, Working Class Heroes: Images from Popular Culture, White said.

Despite destruction, severe storms have given much needed rain, experts say RYAN BLACKBURN Campus Reporter

Much of Oklahoma no longer is in the severe drought that has dogged the state for months after the series of storms that recently hit Norman and other areas.

While the storms that brought the rain over the course of the last few weeks were incredibly destructive, the water also helped to fill some of central Oklahoma’s reservoirs, said Dave Parson, director of OU’s School of Meteorology.

In the central part of the state, rainfall totals range anywhere from 7 to 10 inches, according to data from the Oklahoma Climatological Survey.

Norman almost has met its rainfall total for 2012 within the first five months of 2013. Right now, the rainfall total for the year is 22.73 inches. Last year, it was 22.8 inches, according to data from the Oklahoma Climatological Survey.

Because of all the rain, Lake Thunderbird is full, and much of the eastern and central parts of the state have moved out of drought status, Parsons said.

On top of that, many of the state’s reservoirs have been filled close to capacity, he said.

Yet some of those storms were destructive.

“The events of this past May are tragic, and all of

Oklahoma feels for those affected,” Parsons said. “The good news is that as the summer continues, we see the risk for tornados typically decrease.”

However, while the end of May signifies the end of tornado and severe weather season, it also may indicate the last of the rain as the harsh Oklahoma summer comes into play, Parsons said.

The temperature outlook for this summer is going to be above normal, according to the National Weather Center’s three-month prediction forecast.

SOFTBALL: ROAD TO REDEMPTION

JOE MUSSATTO

Softball Beat writer

The No. 1 Oklahoma softball team’s goals coming into this season were clear: Make another trip to the Women’s College World Series and bring home the trophy, a feat that alluded coach Patty Gasso’s squad in 2012.

The Sooners went 47-4 during the regular season and have started the postseason with a perfect 9-0 record, which has helped them put themselves in a position that has them one win away from winning the program’s first national championship since 2000.

Here’s a map looking at key moments since last year’s WCWS that have helped put OU in the driver’s seat in Tuesday night’s championship round matchup against Tennessee:

April 19-21, 2013: For many, the winner of the Red River Rivalry series in Austin would determine which team would win the Big 12. The Sooners won two of three from a Longhorn team that later made a WCWS appearance.

May 10-12, 2013: With another conference title in sight, the only thing standing in OU’s way was Oklahoma State. Ricketts and Co. had their way with the Cowgirls, sweeping the series by a combined score of 19-1.

June 3, 2013: The Sooners looked down-andout in the 11th inning Monday in game one of this year’s Women’s College World Series, but OU plated three runs in the 11th to tie the game and walked off in the 12th on sophomore first baseman Lauren Chamberlains two-run homer to left.

Did the journey end here, or did the Sooners bring home a trophy? See OUDaily.com for championship coverage.

Feb. 18, 2013: After a tough loss to end the 2012 season, Ricketts opened the 2013 campaign with the first of her six no-hitters of the season. This win set the tone for the rest of the season.

June 6, 2012: After going up 1-0 in the 2012 Women’s College World Series championship series against Alabama, the Sooners dropped the final two games of the series to hand the Crimson Tide the national championship.

March 1-April 14, 2013: Domination. That’s the best way to describe what OU did during the middle portion of its season. The Sooners went 22-2 heading into the Red River Rivalry.

May 5, 2013: The Kansas Jayhawks were the last team to beat OU. Since then, the Sooners have gone N-0, including 9-0 in postseason play coming into Tuesday.

May17-25, 2013: The regular season was just a formality for a team that only lost four games. Now the road to Oklahoma City began, and the Sooners swept through the regional and super regional rounds with ease, outscoring opponents 59-8.

BOOKS

Y

ou’re sitting at your summer job doing menial office tasks and thinking “How could I better spend this time?” Simple. Read a good book. Lucky for you, I’ve compiled a list to make it easy to find the perfect novel to consume your mind from 9 to 5.

LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST

“The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand: Don’t let the dense text bother you. This novel is worth every one of its 694 pages. Our friends over at the School of Architecture will Luke Reynolds enjoy Rand’s first novel, which is about high society, gender reynolds.luke5@gmail.com roles and, you guessed it, architecture. From the beginning of the novel, you are introduced to 20-year-old Howard Roark who is the definition of egotism. Roark goes through his adult life trying to become an architect, not because he wants money or fame or circumstance, but because he simply loves seeing his buildings constructed. Rand will make you reconsider most of what you think about society, yourself and what you are doing with your life.

“The Time of Our Lives” by Tom Brokaw: Listen up journalism majors — Tom Brokaw will take you behind the scenes of

all of his most important reporting assignments and give you a brief history of the last 30 years. The book is informative, interesting and you will get to know a little bit about Brokaw and how he became the journalist he is today. If you are looking for a light-hearted novel, I would skip to number three. On the other hand, if you are looking for a well-written autobiography that reads more like a novel, then I would highly recommend it.

3.

“All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” by Robert Fulghum: Deep-thinkers and critics beware; this is not the book for you. “All I Really Needed to Know” is an easy read. It is full of wisdom and laughs, and the writing exemplifies that. Fulghum takes you with him through his daily life and tells stories that end up being life lessons.

Luke Reynolds is a University College freshman.
