BACK TO SCHOOL | Fresh faces arrive at OU

P

roviding a break from a long day of move-ins and orientations, OU officials welcomed the newest class to OU Thursday afternoon at the Lloyd Noble Center for New Sooner Convocation.

Routine work at the Duck Pond caused portions of OU to lose power for about 35 minutes Thursday afternoon, said Chris Shilling, university spokesman.

Shilling said construction workers tripped a power wire at about 1 p.m., which left many campus buildings without electricity.

Lauren Royston, Housing and Food Services spokeswoman, said the residence halls did not lose power and freshman move-in day continued to run smoothly.

With members of the Pride of Oklahoma setting the mood for a Sooners’ welcome, speakers, including UOSA President Franz Zenteno and OU President David Boren, addressed the class of 2014 about becoming a member of the “Sooner family.”

Talking from his experience as a foreign exchange student at OU, Zenteno told the crowd how proud he is to be a part of a diverse community.

“No matter where you come from, what you look like, once you become a Sooner, you will always be a Sooner,” he said. “I would like to welcome each new Sooner to this great Sooner family.”

Coming from all 50 states and from 111 other countries, new freshmen came to OU

Who was impacted The following buildings replied to The Daily and confirmed they were affected by Thursday’s power outage: » Lloyd Noble Center, 2900 S. Jenkins Ave. » Bizzell Memorial Library, 401 W. Brooks St. » OU College of Law, 300 Timberdell Road » Gittinger Hall, 760 Van Vleet Oval » Copeland Hall, 800 Van Vleet Oval » Kaufman Hall, 780 Van Vleet Oval » Dale Hall, 433 W.

Dorms were unaffected by a 35-minute power outage across campus on Freshmen Move-in Day, allowing more than 3,000 freshmen and their families to move into the dorms without a hitch and with a high turnout of student volunteers.

Jenn Doughty, manager of administrative operations, said Housing and Food Services was excited to welcome new students to the OU community.

Julia Hammond, elementary education sophomore, said she volunteered to help freshmen move in because she knows how stressful it can be.

T h e O U In f o r mat i o n Technology Department will add a different flavor to Campus Corner with the relocation of its IT Store to the old Harold’s Stores Inc. Future university construction plans forced the store to vacate its previous location at 1305 S. Jenkins Ave. “We hope students will

find the new location to be just as useful as the last one,” said Nick Key OU IT spokesman. “We also hope more people will stop by now that we are on Campus Corner.”

Key said the new store will be double the size of the Jenkins store and will have space for students, faculty and visitors to view demonstrations on new technology offered by OU and sold in the store.

Key said students can use the new store just as they would the old one.

“We’ll still offer products for sale and offer discounts for students,” he said.

Students shopping at Campus Corner said they hope the new store will bring a different experience to shopping and dining in the area.

“I hope more people will come to Campus Corner,” said Kassidy Lee, health exercise science junior.

“Campus Corner has a lot of restaurants, but if you don’t want to eat, there really isn’t much else to do.”

Lee said she currently

goes to the IT store’s old location and the new location will entice more people to visit the store.

“I think more people will take advantage of the discounts since the location is at Campus Corner,” Lee said.

Gianna Reese, finance sophomore, said the store will bring more diversity to the shopping area just north of campus.

RECRUITMENT The “Think 3” campaign was founded in response to past years’ post-recruitment surveys, said Bijan Azimi, IFC vice president of recruitment and energy management senior.

“Our ultimate goal with the ‘Think 3’ campaign is to have recruits approach the recruitment process with an open mind, and in turn, more of them will join the great fraternity system at the University of Oklahoma,” Azimi said in an e-mail.

Last year 770 men registered for recruitment in the fall, and 570 men signed a bid with an OU fraternity chapter.

Azimi said he anticipates a similar number of registered recruits this fall, and hopes more men will sign bids by following the “Think 3” campaign.

Parents at the meeting asked about topics such as financial obligations, spring recruitment, bid acceptance and time commitments once their sons have pledged a fraternity.

attracted by academics, the campus and affection for the university.

University College freshman Whitney Parker of Houston, Texas, said the beauty of the campus and OU’s engineering program made her want to come to OU. “I’m actually the first in my family to go to an out-ofstate university,� Parker said. “My family still jokes with me about why I didn’t decide to go to a Texas university when I’m from Texas.�

Âť The Bizzell Memorial Library will host OU Libraries Orientation. Students will learn how to access the library’s online resources, plus take a quick tour of Bizzell.

Hammond said. “There’s a lot of volunteers wandering aimlessly around because there’s so many. I remember last year there were only two volunteers in my parking lot.�

There was a smile on Beth Bareford’s face as she waited for her son, University College freshman Jeremy Bareford, to pick up his room keys. Beth said everyone was helpful in giving her information about where they needed to go and what to do. “I’ve figured you all had done this a million times,�

While speaking to the crowd about what OU has to offer students, Boren also took time to encourage the class of 2014 to become leaders. “We are locked in a struggle for the future of this country to maintain greatness of this country,� he said. “There are people who believe that the greatest days of this country are behind us; this is a challenge that is set before all of us, it is a challenge especially set before you.�

STAFF COLUMN

Hug Westboro Baptists till they need Huggies This column’s headline is not meant to be ironic or a joke.

I sincerely wish for everyone to hug, not hate, the members of Westboro Baptist Church. More on that later.

A long time ago, in a city far, far away I worked for a warehouse and moving company. It was important to know which tool to use — a claw hammer for instance — while on the job.

This is a difficult task, because there are a variety of tools.

For example, I’ve also worked with tools — in this case, “tool” refers to a stupid person, which surprisingly didn’t make the list of no-no words from Mizzou’s college of journalism.

These coworkers, many of whom enjoyed the progressive-rock stylings of Tool, were never the right tools for the job. I could stand never listening to Tool, the musical group, ever again.

Another musical group I don’t care for is Lady Gaga. A religious group that shares my un-care for Lady Gaga is Westboro Baptist Church.

Westboro un-cares for her music so much that they protested at her Oklahoma City concert this July. The Oklahoma Daily reviled this protest in an editorial shortly after the concert.

The Daily’s editorial sugThe leadership and gested that Westboro protests represent the “oppomembers of Westboro site of everything the Bible Baptist Church stands for.” The Bible, not certainly act like tools unlike a claw hammer, is a on occasion. ” tool. Left alone in a room, the Bible doesn’t stand for anything. Its unique assembly of words, sentences and chapters are usable for good and evil.

The leadership and members of Westboro Baptist Church certainly act like tools on occasion.

Here, I employ Urban Dictionary’s definition of tool: “someone who is a complete idiot … someone who can’t

think for themselves; an asshat.”

In addition to protesting at military funerals with signs reading “God hates fags” (the third word did in fact make Mizzou’s list of no-no words), they also picket outside schools with Gay-Straight Alliances like Oklahoma’s Charles Page High School.

Responding to Westboro with hatred is the common, perhaps natural, instinct.

STAFF COLUMN MN Where The Daily’s descripBryan tion of the church as “crazy, Honeycutt delusional, egotistical and irrational” may be accurate, resorting only to name calling will not repair the problem. Returning to Westboro the ignorance and fear they send forth into the world isn’t the right tool for the job.

Over 10 years ago, Westboro cited the Onion News article “’98 Homosexual-Recruitment Drive Nearing Goal” as a credible source.

By taking the Onion seriously they were guilty of, if nothing else, ignorance to satire. Is it really fair to attack Westboro when they are at such an intellectual disadvantage? That sin is embraced by newspaper editors on occasion.

The greater sin is to label Westboro’s wrongs — like using hate speech and representing Christians as hypocrites — and in doing so, act like tools.

Using hostility to fix Westboro’s bigotry is the wrong tool for the job. My suggestion: go to a protest and (if physical contact is legal) hug these people. Show these people the selfless and unconditional love that is supposedly “everything the bible stands for.” If the congregants of Westboro Baptist Church think this world is such a crappy place, what better way to refute them than by hugging the crap out of them?

Congratulations, you made it!

The twelve-week journey between tossing your mortarboard and slamming the door on your parents is over.

During this summer trek, you may have read pieces on “How to Succeed in College”, but for your freshman year, I believe it is better to learn how not to fail.

Unlike K-12, where the law forces parents and administrators to keep you in school, OU has neither the capacity nor time to ensure that all 21,000 students graduate. No bells, nine absence policies or calls home.

To overcome the odds of failure, I would like to offer a few pieces of advice.

First, and most important, join a group. oup.

With its prestige and size, STAFF COLUMN MN OU is just large enough to be lonely. Whether ok the group is based on re- Andrew Cook ligious beliefs, a hobby or a small country in the Mediterranean, finding an organization will do wonders when homesickness sets in, or you fail your first test.

On Student Life’s website, studentlife.ou.edu, there is a list of 423 free student organizations, ranging from Linguistics Club to the Jugglers Association.

Can’t find one that fits? Create your own and the university will help you fund it!

Next, pick the major you If you get involved, enjoy. Although engineerdo what you love ing can lead to wealth, you will likely find that and hold onto your pennies with all your freshman Engineering Orientation was a lost three might, I believe you hours after you switch to will find that the best letters junior year.

Look through the OU four years of your life catalog and find the major have just begun.” that peaks your interest, not your pocketbook. It may mean a cut in starting salary, but I promise you will be happier to graduate in four years.

On the subject of money, the “broke college student” stereotype did not appear on its own. Nothing causes stress like 32 cents in your checking account. To keep more of your 32 cents, you must constantly defend it from the university.

If you are not careful, the costs of parking tickets and dorm visitation fines can easily destroy your plans to save up for an iPad or the new Ugg boots that are just so cute.

In nine months, these tickets alone cost me $300-400.

If you think no one is watching while you park in priority or sneak your girlfriend in past midnight, a parking attendant or resident adviser will appear from behind the soda machine and hit you with a $25 fine.

So, there is my advice. If you get involved, do what you love and hold onto your pennies with all your might, I believe you will find that the best four years of your life have just begun.

HOROSCOPE

By Bernice Bede Osol

Copyright 2010, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

Friday, Aug. 20, 2010 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Those with whom you’re involved will expect you to do what was promised regardless of how you feel. Not feeling up to the task will be no excuse, so try to do the best you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Don’t allow yourself to get enthralled with someone who is already spoken for. Pursuing forbidden fruit will not only cause you to waste time on what you can never have, but also create major problems for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - There is nothing wrong with your earning capacity, yet it could be a day of downs for you financially, when expenses get thrown at you from left and right. Bite the bullet and handle it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Just because the person you choose to do business with happens to be a friend, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to get important clauses in writing. Each party could be expecting more than they should.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Spoiled youngsters could expect that all that you’ve done for them in the past should be standard procedure, and could make some unreasonable demands on you. Don’t let them get away with such behavior.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - A number of people you’ve always thought of as being allies might be only partially in accord with your ideas and/or purposes. However, even that support could also erode if you’re not careful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - You might be in for a big surprise when all that flattery you’re using on someone doesn’t work. Try again, but this time use honesty and humbleness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Unless those you’ve hired to do a certain job are given exact instructions, you aren’t likely to be satisfied with their work.

Remember, the fault will be yours, not theirs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Although it might usually cost you a dollar for a dollar’s worth of value, you might have to give more than you’ll get in order to have something you want. Don’t buy what you don’t need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Get your priorities straightened out, or you could end up wasting all your time catering to someone who hardly ever notices you, while ignoring a good pal who has always been there for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - There are indications that, when doing business, you will be tempted to go with someone new and untested because you think you can get a better deal. Unfortunately, it is likely to be a poor decision.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - If you find your mate or partner has a case of the grumbles, it’ll be a mistake to respond in kind. By being even more affectionate than usual, you can be the substance that sweetens the soul.

LIFE&ARTS With the bloat of the summer cineplex behind us, The Daily’s Laron Chapman looks back at the films that occupied his summer, for better or worse.

“Dinner for Schmucks” Directed by Jay Roach Odd does not even begin to describe Roach’s (“Meet the Fockers”) dreadfully unsuccessful attempt at comic farce.

Introducing one peculiar character after another, then intentionally putting them through shame and humiliation proves more cruel than hilarious. Had it not been for the charm and wit of actors Paul Rudd and Steve Carell, this would be one dinner party audiences would not regret skipping.

“The Expendables” Directed by Sylvester Stallone A tribute to the fallen action legends of the ’80s and ’90s, Stallone’s gloriously silly “The Expendables” is a wild ride worth taking. Viewers looking for brains or coherence should take strong caution, embrace their inner badass and relish this brutal action thriller for all its campiness and amusement.

Laron Chapman

With an already impressive track record providing films such as the brilliant “The Dark Knight” and the fiendishly clever “Memento,” Nolan has crafted his masterpiece Directed by Ryan Murphy with the dazzling sci-fi thriller “Inception.” With first-rate special effects, intelligent and moving performances and a America’s “Pretty Woman,” Julia Roberts, traveled around wildly inventive narrative, “Inception” is arguably one of the the globe in need of some good old-fashioned soul-search- year’s best films. ing in the faithful adaptation of author Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir that garnered a hefty cult-following in 2006.

“The Last Airbender” “Th Directed by M. Night Shyamalan Dire Just when viewers thought Shyamalan (“The Jus Happ Happening”) could do no worse, here comes a film so painfully pain unwatchable, he deserves an award for solemnl emnly believing it would ever pass as entertainment.

Exce Exceedingly dull, glacially paced and sloppily written, Shya Shyamalan has crafted not only his worst film, but the wors worst film produced so far this year.

“The Other Guys” Directed by Adam McKay Despite a few really big laughs in the first act as credited to the film film’s talented comic performers (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg), Wah the film feels like a tasteless off-brand to better fi films of its genre. Ineffectively mixing sharp satire with standard sta buddy cop conventions, the film suffers from an un unfocused screenplay and a maddeningly uneven narrative tthat proves more frustrating than comical.

“Salt” Directed by Phillip Noyce With a title like “Salt,” it has got to be a popcorn film.

Luckily, this sophisticated action thriller is seasoned with enough brains and thrills to tingle anyone’s taste buds. Add a sexy Angelina Jolie (looking better than ever) to the equation and viewers were provided with a summer blockbuster that crackled with suspense and excitement.

“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” Directed by Edgar Wright With spurts of genuine creativity, a premise chock full of invention and originality and a charming comedic cast, it’s a shame to see it all wasted on juvenile antics and self-indulgence. With films such as “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz”, there is no denying that Wright is a talented director.

However, here his pretentious and manic visual style simply grows tiresome.

“Splice” Directed by Vincenzo Natali After a promising start, this nifty little sci-fi thriller becomes reduced to standard creature feature conventions that destroy what could have potentially been a modern classic of its ever dying genre. Much to the credit of two smart performers, Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley, the film operates with a quiet depth, eerie special effects and mystic intrigue. Unfortunately, these blessings can’t be fully embraced as the film’s narrative ends on a rather dopey note.

“Toy Story 3” Directed by Lee Unkrich Woody, Buzz, Slinky and the rest of Andy’s lively toy box returned for one of the best sequels in recent memory. Here is an animated film that is every bit as imaginative, humorous and moving as its iconic and groundbreaking predecessors. It’s sure to be a front-runner in this year’s Oscar race for best animated film.

Consistency a must for Sooner receivers

Sooners open against OSU

Junior wide receiver Ryan Broyles said Thursday the lack of consistency from Sooner receivers last season was a major recruiting point for the guys they brought in this season.

“We weren’t too consistent, so the younger guys feel like they can come in and get a spot so they’ve been preparing well to do that,” Broyles said.

Call that the silver lining in the dark cloud of last season’s offensive inconsistency. But while inconsistency may have benefitted the Sooners in hindsight, eliminating it from this season’s receiving corps will be crucial to the team’s success.

Broyles is the established leader of the group, and freshman Kenny Stills is the newcomer who has quickly risen up the depth chart as a potential game-changer.

The uncertainty stems from the performance of the other returning receivers, who have not received stellar marks based on their performances so far this offseason.

“So far they’ve just been OK,” head coach Bob Stoops said Thursday. “We need some other guys to be more consistent.”

While there is still time for improvement before the season starts, Stoops’ comment isn’t exactly one that breeds confidence in the group.

Broyles was responsible for a huge chunk of OU’s receiving productivity last season, and running back DeMarco Murray was the team’s second leading receiver in catches, yards and touchdowns.

Broyles will likely lead the team in receiving again this season, but the Sooners will need someone to keep defenses honest and prevent them from stifling the star slot receiver.

Stills has been hailed as a deep threat that will open up the field, but the team should be wary of putting too much pressure on a freshman regardless of his talent.

That means the rest of the group—Brandon Caleb, Cameron Kenney, Jaz Reynolds and Dejuan Miller—will need to provide as much of a boost as possible to support the offense.

Last year and the entire offseason with Jones as quarterback should, in itself, improve the consistency. The receivers have had all summer to get comfortable with Jones and vice versa.

“Now that me and Landry have a steady relationship, things are looking pretty good,” Miller said.

For the sake of the Sooners’ 2010 season, hopefully that statement proves true. Because as much as has been made of Jones and what he needs to do this year, a quarterback can only be as good as his receivers.

OU PLAYS STATE RIVAL FOR THE FIRST OF TWO TIMES THIS SEASON TOBI NEIDY Daily Staff Writer

OU launches the 2010 season against in-state rival Oklahoma State tonight at 7 in Stillwater, marking the first time the teams have ever met outside of conference play.

This year also marks the first time the teams will play twice in a single season.

They will also play Oct. 29 in Norman.

OSU owns the overall series record 12-2-1.

“I think the Bedlam rivalry is one of the most exciting rivalries in college sports,” OU head coach Nicole Nelson said. “The additional game should continue to grow the fan base for our universities and our sport.”
