Quarter of bike thefts occur at dorms Traditions Square and Union among highest places for theft ARIANNA PICKARD Campus reporter

Cate Tower might be the safest place on campus to park your bike.

About $160,000 worth of bikes have been stolen from students, faculty and staff on OU property over the last five years. Cate Tower had the fewest reports of theft with only 12 occurring in the fiveyear span.

Since Sept. 2007, 424 acts of bike-related larceny resulting in losses of $50 or more

have occurred on campus totaling up to $159,139.04, according to public documents. Starting in 2008, an average of about 89 bikes were stolen each year.

About one-fourth of the thefts occurred at Walker, Adams, Couch and Cate centers, according to public documents. OU Traditions Square and Oklahoma Memorial Union were the most common areas for bike theft with about 43 and 40 acts of larceny, respectively.

Bicycles are one of the most common types of property stolen from students at OU, according to the OU Police Department website.

“More people are bringing bikes to campus – it seems like we’re having more bikes every year,” said OUPD Lt. Bruce Chan.

The two best ways to keep your bike safe are to register it for free with OUPD and always lock it to a bike rack with a dependable lock, Chan said.

Registering the bike with OUPD gives OUPD the greatest chance of recovering a stolen bike because specific

information such as the bike’s serial number is kept on file upon registration, Chan said.

“We have to be able to tell one blue trek bike from another blue trek bike,” Chan said. “We have to have that serial number. That’s why registration is ver y important.”

When someone reports a bike theft, OUPD commonly checks local pawnshops, and they often will find that someone has pawned the bike, Chan said. If they find the bike there, they will notify the bike owner of its location and tell the pawnshop owner

The journal is looking for Honors College students of all majors to serve as editorial board members on

the journal’s review board or its executive committee.

The journal reviews Honors College student papers from all majors and determines what to put into the peer-reviewed journal, according to a press release.

“Members on the board learn about their own writing and learn valuable experience,” said Marie Dallam, Honors College professor of religious studies.

The review board

members read and rank submissions and discuss criteria for publication. The majority of their work will be from January through March. The executive committee has more responsibility in the overall decisionmaking and the production process. Their work is spread throughout the 2012-2013 academic year.

Previous experience is not necessary, and there is room for designers and

artists along with people interested in editing and publishing, according to a press release.

The board begins work this fall, but interested students should be prepared for a yearlong commitment with the board.

The main benefit of consolidating the services is increased communication with student parents, Gunderson said.

There are about 150 students on the email list for the Graduate Parent Programs, Wesley said, all of whom will receive emails regarding upcoming events and opportunities. There also is a Facebook page that details upcoming events.

In Monday’s story, “President’s Associates dinner brings prestigious names to OU,” the article erroneously stated the nation’s deficit as $4 million. Bowles and Simpson released a report in 2010 with a plan to reduce the nation’s deficit by $4 trillion by 2020.

In Monday’s story, “Sexual assault abroad usually goes unreported,” Susan Sasso’s title was incorrectly reported as the vice president of Student Affairs. Sasso is the associate vice president for Student Affairs.

In Monday’s story, “Sooner returns from DNC,” it was incorrectly reported that Democratic delegates voted to support Israel. The delegates voted to support Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel.

If the House and Senate are required to discuss and vote on every allocation to every private organization an agency partners with, each appropriations bill would become a chance to politicize the issue of which groups best provide public services.

It would become an annual chance for some legislator to make a dramatic stand in an effort to win brownie points for his re-election efforts — consequences be damned.

This plan is being developed not on the basis of actual abuses but on the imagined potential for abuse.

So the proposal would trade an imagined possibility of misuse for a proven opportunity for it.

State agencies already are accountable to the state Legislature for how they use their funding. As it is, these proposed changes only would make it more difficult for agencies to do their jobs and easier for politics to get in the way.

But if legislators really are concerned about increasing fiscal transparency, we stand by that goal.

The expenditures of state agencies and the state budget are available in the easy to use data.ok.gov database. Lawmakers simply should require agencies to specifically report funding passed on to nonprofits in a dedicated document so the data is more readily available to both lawmakers and citizens.

Honor 9/11 by remembering context

Draconian foreign smoking laws show how bad it can get

E

very year, we are Opinion Columnist told we should remember what happened on this day in New York City. This suggestion is certainly a good one, but while we remember the Sept. 11 attacks, we also must understand them.

Jason Byas While there are not good jason.l.byas-1@ou.edu reasons for murdering almost 3,000 innocent civilians, it’s also important to realize most evil is not self-aware. There are very few — massmurderers included — who openly would declare themselves “the enemy of all that is good and decent” as if they were a villain in the first Power Rangers movie.

So it seems like a good idea to be wary of explanations for al-Qaida’s actions that run along the lines of “they hate us for our freedom.”

Osama bin Laden was very explicit about the sorts of things that fueled the attacks: American military presence in Saudi Arabia, economic sanctions on Iraq that caused mass-starvation, attacks in Somalia, support for the Russian government against Chechnyan rebels, support for the Israeli government against the Palestinians and plenty of other things unrelated to American freedom.

Notice that all of those reasons had a couple of qualities in common. First, they involved intervention of some sort in the Middle East. Second, the American public was largely unaware of them.

Which is why Sept. 11 is a key example of what the CIA calls “blowback.” As former CIA consultant Chalmers Johnson explains, blowback describes “the unintended consequences of foreign operations that were deliberately kept secret from the American public. So that when the retaliation comes, the American public is not able to put it in context, to put cause and effect together, and they come up with questions like ‘Why do they hate us?’”

Once again, whatever unjust actions the American

government has committed, absolutely nothing ever can come close to justifying the murder of innocent civilians.

That being said, if we are serious about never wanting terrorist attacks to happen again, we must not continue to turn a blind eye to the actions of our government that might provoke another attack.

Unfortunately, and disgustingly, the need to remember Sept. 11 has been used by opportunistic politicians promoting just the kind of things that might foster resentment and build numbers for anti-American terrorist organizations. Most obviously are the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been prime recruiting grounds for al-Qaida.

This indicates a troubling cycle. The American government either kills someone’s loved one through collateral damage or by supporting a dictator who kills. Enraged, they join or somehow otherwise support terrorist organizations.

Those organizations then attack civilians in either the U.S. or one of the American government’s allies. Enraged, Americans overwhelmingly support another foreign intervention, and the cycle begins anew.

What is missing from both enraged responses is context.

The actions of the American government do not justify killing American civilians. The actions of terrorist organizations in any country do not justify the occupation and inevitable killings through collateral damage of civilians anywhere.

Gaining consciousness and becoming aware of the context changes everything.

Do not allow politicians to prey upon your emotions while furthering their political agendas and, in turn, ruthlessly kill innocent civilians. Once you understand that politicians are part of the very cycle that murdered nearly 3,000 people in New York 11 years ago, you can divert your energies toward solving the problem rather than toward perpetuating it.

letter to the editor

Explore OU’s international community

A

s a child, I wandered away from my father at the grocery store in search of adventure.

Now, I still wander through foreign airports, bus stations and streets in search of something more.

In each country I visit, I discover new tastes, languages and landscapes. When I realize there is still more to experience, I leave again for a different country. This wanderlust habit is very expensive.

I found a solution to my desire for adventure and culture in OU’s international student community. OU has 2,000 international students from over 100 different countries.

It is hard to recognize OU’s international community when walking down the South Oval, but there are 27 international student organizations on campus that welcome students interested in exploring their culture.

Through my work on the International Advisory Committee, which represents all the international student organizations, I help organize the largest cultural events on campus and perform in many of the distinct culture nights. Most importantly, I meet great friends from around the world with different perspectives on life. They constantly teach me aspects of their culture I would learn

n recent decades, opinion columnist smokers in the U.S. have seen law and public opinion turn against them. In Oklahoma, we’ve seen this sentiment incarnated in local and state policy. But these laws are only the tip of the iceberg.

Scott Houser O ve r s e a s, t h e Hig h Scott.A.Houser-1@ou.edu Court of Australia recently upheld a more extreme measure — cigarettes now must come in packages displaying graphic images of smokingrelated diseases. The Australian government not only is resorting to shock tactics to forward a political agenda, it is setting precedents that weaken private property and individual liberty.

Cigarettes in the U.S. are taxed at higher levels than other goods, private institutions are forbidden from allowing smoking in their own facilities and citizens constantly are bombarded with government anti-smoking advertising.

Apparently, it can get much worse.

Australia’s recent ruling not only prohibits cigarette companies from using brand logos or colors on cigarette packaging, but also requires companies to display shocking depictions of a toothless diseased mouth, a blinded eyeball under surgery or a suffering child, for example.

These laws are contrary to private property and individual liberty, and the U.S. must not follow this example.

I am not a smoker, but I find this and similar laws insulting and unjustified.

Using shock and fear to push political or societal agendas is usually a strategy reserved for dictatorships. The health impact of smoking is an important issue, but plastering graphic images on cigarette packages is not helping.

This is the same tactic used by the anti-abortion activists who display images of aborted fetuses on the South Oval.

It is disgusting, unprofessional and insulting.

The same logic behind mandating shocking images on cigarette packaging could be used to push policy with any number of terrible methods. To promote healthy eating, the government could put images of a triple bypass surgery on Coca-Cola cans. This not only would be insulting to consumers, but could cause harm to the companies.

I challenge you to find someone in our present day who is not aware of the dangers of smoking. Those who smoke are not doing so because they are ignorant of the consequences, but rather because they have disregarded them.

This is a choice that should be left up to the individual free from coercion by the government.

It is the view of many government officials that smoking is bad for society. But what is society if not just a word for a large group of individuals? Society is not a thing that is to be directed and controlled. Rather, it is a group of people who have inalienable rights to liberty.

TORN APART? By Carl Denison

HOROSCOPE

By Bernice Bede Osol

Copyright 2012, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2012 There’s a very good chance that you will feel inclined to make some radical changes in your lifestyle in the year ahead. Once you commit yourself to a constructive course, proceed without looking back.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t get too deeply involved in a risky endeavor because in all likelihood Lady Luck will be taking a day off.

Without her assistance, you aren’t apt to swing it alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do not allow your friends to convince you to do something that you really can’t afford. If you haven’t got the funds, be smart and bow out.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Should an old, unresolved family issue surface in front of others, do your best to quell it immediately, before it can make the entire clan look self-serving and nasty.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you find yourself vacillating over some critical decisions, know that hesitation will only breed complications.

Instead, trust your judgment and take bold action.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If someone comes up with a better way of doing something, don’t be so quick to reject it. If you let your ego take command, you’ll never improve.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Usually you weigh both sides of an issue, resulting in a balanced judgment. Today, however, your thinking might be more self-defeating than farseeing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Something significant can be learned about budgeting if you take some time to examine your financial situation realistically. Don’t just bewail your managerial failings -- correct them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Guard against inclinations to believe in everybody and to put your trust in those who cannot measure up to your expectations. If you fail to do so, disappointment is very likely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you don’t have an equal say, you might end up in a situation that is something like a partnership, but not quite. Be very careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you cannot arouse enough enthusiasm to handle a tough assignment, you’d be better off temporarily postponing it until you can muster up enough eagerness to do so.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Allowing dictatorial inclinations to dominate your thinking could cause you to assert your will on those over whom you have no authority, making you look like a bully. Don’t let this happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t put any limitations on your imagination, nor allow others to do so for you.

Be very sure that the thoughts that guide your thinking and actions are focused on the positive.

Q&A

Twin Shadow to perform free show MOLLY EVANS

Life & Arts reporter

Nearly two years since his September 2010 debut, “Forget,” George Lewis Jr., a.k.a. Twin Shadow, is making a southwest stop on his Ton Up tour for his sophomore album, “Confess,” w h i c h w a s re l e a s e d i n July. The show is free as part of Fowler Volkswagen of Norman’s fall concert lineup.

The Daily: Several reviews of both “Forget” (2010) and “Confess” (2012) have established your sound as 1980s new wave. How would you describe it?

George Lewis Jr.: I don’t describe it. That’s the job of the people who listen to it and the people who talk about it.

The Daily: Unlike “Forget,” which was produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, you independently produced “Confess.” Why was that important to this newest album?

Lewis: It was just about time to make it happen without having to be concerned with other people’s schedules. It was just easier to do it myself, and I was capable of doing it myself.

The Daily: You’re based in Brooklyn, N.Y., but recorded “Confess” in Los Angeles.

Why did you switch coasts for that process?

Lewis: You can’t really ride your motorcycle in New York in December.

The Daily: What creative satisfaction do you get from riding your 1972 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle?

Lewis: It just really opens

your mind. It gives you time to consider everything around you: the physical and the spiritual.

The Daily: How do the themes of your debut album, “Forget,” and your sophomore album, “Confess,” contrast one another?

Lewis: I’ve grown a lot as a person the last two years doing a lot of touring and seeing the world. “Confess” has a broader scope. It’s less about my memories and more about my current life in the world around me.

The Daily: The videos for the first two singles of “Confess,” “Five Seconds” and “Patient” narrate

GO AND DO Twin Shadow concert When: 9 tonight Where: Opolis Price: Free

the adventures of two motorcycle riding friends.

This narrative was adapted from the novel “Night of the Silver Sun” that you and your friend, Eric Green, wrote. When did you find time to write a novel?

Lewis: On the road. There’s

actually a lot of free time on the road when you’re just sitting in the van or sitting in the hotel.

The Daily: Did any of the fictional themes from “Night of the Silver Sun” blend into “Confess?”

Lewis: Not really. They are very separate.

The Daily: Why was “Five Seconds” the first single released from “Confess?”

Lewis: It was just the song I worked on the longest. I just knew that would be the song.

The Daily: What do you hope your audience takes from “Confess?” Certain feelings or understanding you better?

PHOTOS PROVIDED

Lewis: I don’t make music to help people understand me. I make music to help people understand themselves a bit more.

The Daily: You’re playing for free at The Opolis on Sept. 11. What brought you to Norman?

Lewis: We’re just trying to play places we haven’t played before.

The Daily: Have you played several college towns?

Lewis: Yeah. A good amount.

The Daily: What energy do you get from those audiences?

Lewis: They’re usually more excited in a way, especially in smaller towns.

The Daily: What does the title of your current tour, Ton Up, mean?

Lewis: It’s just an old phrase that motorcyclists used to use when they were going faster than 100 miles per hour.

Student section lacks passion, becoming fair-weather fans Sports Columnist

Dillon Phillips dphillips85@ou.edu

O

U’s student section was at full force when the Sooners took the field against Florida A&M on Saturday night.

At the start of the fourth quarter — not so much.

A disappointing trend that has plagued the student section reared its

ugly head yet again last weekend.

Mass exodus.

If the Sooners are in a tight game, expect the students to stay, stand on the edge of their seats and cheer at the top of their lungs.

But if the outcome isn’t in question?

Expect to see what we saw Saturday: a fourth quarter being played in front of an empty student section.

Now I’ll be the first to give the students credit for staying as long as they did — it wasn’t until OU went up 56-10 with 6:49 left in the third quarter that students

began to file out of the stadium in droves — but watch other student sections around the country and tell me what you see.

On second thought, I’ll go ahead and tell you.

You’ll see passionate, energized students completely engaged in all 60 minutes of football. Not just the first half hour.

And although the debate of whether the SEC truly can claim its self-appointed title as college football’s best conference, its fans can claim supremacy without much contention.

Mark it down.

Every single game this season, each SEC school’s

stands will be packed with fans from the opening kickoff until the final gun.

Sometimes OU’s students don’t even make it to kickoff.

Remember how the Sooners blew a 39-game home winning streak last October by falling to an inferior Texas Tech team after an hour-and-a-half rain delay all but cleared out the student section?

Oklahoma’s students are fair-weathered fans in the truest sense of the phrase.

Let’s be honest, they’ll gear up for three games this season: Kansas State (because it’s the first conference game and the Wildcats

are poised to contend for a Big 12 title), Notre Dame (because, well, it’s Notre Dame) and Oklahoma State (no explanation necessary).

Kansas and Baylor?

I’ll be surprised to see a half-full student section at halftime.

Oklahoma Memorial Stadium has garnered a reputation for being one of the most difficult places to play in college football, and the Sooners have been near impossible to beat at home under coach Bob Stoops — in 13 seasons, Stoops has lost at home only three times.

But unlike so many other great venues in college

football, the fans who occupy it aren’t the reason it’s so difficult to exit with a win.

It’s because Stoops is a damn good coach who knows how to prepare a team to win at home.

Think of how tough it would be to beat OU at home if the student section’s intensity matched that of the players on the field.
