Parking ticket appeals process stagnates Several dozen reviews still needed; more members required for decisions CHASE COOK The Oklahoma Daily

New legislation and last spring’s run-off election for student body president stalled UOSA’s confirmation of Parking Appeals Board members.

As a result, 117 appealed tickets have not been processed and students have the ticket charges sitting on their bursar bills.

Confirmation of Parking Appeals Board members normally occur at the end of the spring semester,

said Alexandra Philbrick, human resources management senior and Parking Appeals Board director. However, they weren’t confirmed in May due to UOSA run-off elections.

UOSA President Franz Zenteno said Student Congress plans to pass legislation that will expand the board from six to 10 members during Tuesday’s UOSA meeting. The Parking Appeals Board members will also be confirmed, he said.

“There were a lot of tickets last year,” Zenteno said. “We are adding people to make [the board] more efficient.”

Once confirmed, the board will begin working through the 40

appealed parking tickets, Philbrick said. Tickets have been piling up because the appeals board, the sole decision-maker on appealed tickets, hasn’t started the process.

In addition to the 40 appeals awaiting the board’s review, 77 tickets must be reviewed by parking office appeals coordinator Melissa Stewart before being put on the docket for the Parking Appeals Board.

Philbrick said the number of tickets should not take long to process.

“We can easily make that up in a matter of a week or so,” Philbrick SEE APPEALS PAGE 2

Center plans cataract prevention in China Project will mark the first international effort by the Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth DEBBIE DAVIS The Oklahoma Daily

The Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth will go international for the first time in OU history this fall with a project that will build a sustainable business model to prevent and reverse the symptoms of cataracts in China.

The project in China was brought to light by Dr. Lloyd Hildebrand, the cofounder and president/CEO of Inoveon Corporation. Hildebrand is an associate professor of ophthalmology at the OU Dean McGee Eye Institute.

“Dr. Hildebrand has participated in and led several voluntary missions to treat eye diseases in China over the past four years and is an alumnus of the program himself as a mentor for team Nantiox in the spring of 2008.” said program director Mariana Barrientos.

Hildebrand is considered the “inventor” for this project.

The UOSA Undergraduate Student Congress voted Tuesday to reject a bill clarifying the impeachment process of UOSA judges because they were concerned it would be used to unnecessarily impeach justices.

The bill was previously passed by the Graduate Student Senate Sunday with a vote of 54-1, with three people abstaining and no debate. It stated that the legislative branch could impeach judges for reasons other than those explicitly stated in the current code.

“Most students don’t understand what is going on,” sophomore representative Forrest Bennett said. “With this ability to just impeach willy-nilly, are you concerned that we may overuse this sort of very sobering ability?

“I’m just concerned we might use [impeachment] more often because we might take advantage of those who don’t understand what is going on.”

Graduate Student Senate Chair Silas DeBoer argued that the bill would not serve as a means of empowering the legislative branch but would rather give more focus to the impeachment process and provide better checks and balances.

DeBoer asserted that the bill did not have anything to do with prior attempts to impeach justices, addressing another concern expressed by representatives.

Overall, Tuesday’s vote failed by a count of 7-13, with five people abstaining.

The Congress did approve a bill extending the amount of time UOSA has to fill a Superior Court vacancy.

The time was changed from 30 days to 45 days, and members approved the bill 19-3, with four abstentions.

This bill passed unanimously at Sunday’s Graduate Student Senate meeting.

Undergraduate representatives also approved unanimously to appoint committee leaders.

The next Undergraduate Student Congress meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Adams Hall room 150. All students can attend.

97 percent of law graduates pass bar exam Graduates from the College of Law achieved a 97 percent passage rate on the Oklahoma Bar Examination — the highest passage rate in the state and 20 percent higher than students from out-of-state schools.

“Our students’ success with the bar is a testament to the quality of our students and our faculty. The entire OU Law community is proud of their performance,” Dean Joseph Harroz Jr. said in a press release.

The Oklahoma Bar Examination is administered in February and July.

The bar exam must be passed before a person can become a licensed attorney in the state of Oklahoma, according to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

OU graduates will be admitted to the bar at 10 a.m. Sept. 23 in the chambers of the House of Representatives at the Oklahoma State Capitol.

He said a lot of the tickets come from parking garages, which confuse new students.

Students who get tickets and feel like they were wronged, or they didn’t know any better, should use the appeal process, Adamo said.

“We want to tell them where they can park,” Adamo said. “Not punish them for

parking in the wrong spot.”

Students who receive parking tickets and want to appeal, must do so through the parking office website.

Appeals can be handled two ways. Appeals must be submitted as an online petition and include a small written defense statement, or students may request a personal appearance with the appeals board.

If a student chooses the

latter, a meeting will be setup with the appeals board, and they can make their case in person. Students that make an appointment and don’t show, will have their appeal overruled, according to the parking rules and regulation handbook on the parking website.

Decisions made by the appeals board — whether they sustain, reduce or void a ticket — still incur a $5 fee.

Super Wi-Fi and relationships “Super Wi-Fi”—it sounds a bit like technology used in a cheesy sci-fi B-movie, but that’s what the Federal Communications Commission has dubbed the soon-to-be-released bands of airwaves which seem likely to change how we think about wireless technology.

This is the first time in a quarter century that the FCC has approved the use of unused and unlicensed bands in the spectrum, called white spaces, and the possibilities seem to far outstrip those of 1985.

In that year, a number of bands were released to general use, which has since then led to everything from garage door openers to our current system of Wi-Fi. However, since the 2009 switch from analog to digital TV took place, there have been a number of white spaces widely considered prime real estate for technological development.

These bands, once used to broadcast television programming, use lowfrequency waves, which means that, in comparison to the bands of the

spectrum currently used for Wi-Fi, information can be sent farther, through obstructions more easily (including cement walls), and retain a more reliable signal, all while requiring less power to transmit.

So just what does this translate into for consumers, more specifically college students? For one, Wi-Fi coverage will obviously be better.

Yo u ’ l l n e v e r a g a i n need to search for a hotspot. Most cities will have wireless access virtually ever ywhere and coffee shops will lose an advertising point.

Your Grandma who lives in rural Oklahoma? She’ll finally be able to Skype you.

This released range isn’t likely to remain as simply excellent Web coverage either — the possibilities are endless.

We are on the brink of a revolution in connectivity like we haven’t seen in decades But this isn’t likely to be all peachy. There have been whole books written simply dealing with

technology overload, so how much more can we take?

I worry that this will cripple the already weak bonds between people in a world where “friend” means virtually nothing. We no longer have to see people in order to retain the facsimile of a relationship, and the possibilities soon to open up will only make it easier to fake connections.

Oftentimes we only wake up to isolation when Internet service is bad. If it remains good no matter where we are, will we ever have this wake-up call?

Super Wi-Fi is likely to drastically change technology over the next few years.

I only hope our relationships can handle it.

“The Middle” Network: ABC Premieres: 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22 Frankie and Mike Heck are back in the fictional Orson, Ind., for a second season of the comedy “The Middle.” Axl, Sue and Brick, their three dysfunctional children, are also here. After a successful first season, the Hecks continue to deal with everyday family challenges in a quirky, comical way. Frankie continues to stand up and be supportive of her children and their combined struggles of being academically challenged and socially awkward while working as a failing car dealer. Mike also lends a hand in the parenting and in the absurdity.

— Leesa Allmond

“Undercovers” Network: NBC Premieres: 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22 Fans of NBC’s “Chuck” are sure to enjoy J.J. Abrams’ latest adventure into network television.

“Undercovers” offers an action spy drama with a somewhat worn premise: ex-CIA agents (who happen to be married) getting drawn back into the old profession. Cue jealousy, mystery and cool action sequences.

— Sydney Allen

“Survivor” Network: CBS Premieres: ieres: 7 tonight Why is “Survivor” still on? Because people withoutt lives need TV, too. “Survivor” is finally legal lebrating it’s 21st season, which is sure to and celebrating be just as pointless as the previous 20, except me they are in Nicaragua! However, we this time should take a moment to pay our respects, becausee this is one of the founders eality TV craze we are still of the reality encing today. After all, who experiencing else do we have to thank for “I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!”??

“America’s Next Top Model” Network: The CW Already premiered. Airs: 7 p.m.

Wednesdays

“Modern Family” Network: ABC Premieres: 8 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22

The award for “why-is-this-show-still-running?” goes hands-down to the CW’s “America’s Next Top Model.” At first, this was a pretty cool idea and the photo shoots were fun to see, but it quickly turned into a watch party for how crazy creator Tyra Banks’ antics would get, and now audiences couldn’t care less about someone in tears after a haircut. Don’t bother watching cycle 15 because you know you stopped watching sometime around cycle seven anyway.

— Lauren Abram

“Hell’s Kitchen” Network: FOX Premieres: 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22 “Hell’s Kitchen” is f*****g back! The oh-solovable, easygoing chef Gordon Ramsay is back for another season of terrorizing a new group of sixteen amateur chefs. It gets better: the season premiere will be two hours of Ramsay yelling curse words at everyone, as opposed to his usual one-hour bleep fest.

“Modern Family” is a fantastic show to say the least, and it’s a rare gem on a network that seems bent on only making ridiculous dramas (“Desperate Housewives” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” anyone?). The cast, highlighted by Ty Burrell and Emmy winner Eric Stonestreet, is of a perfect makeup, and the writing is spot-on. The second season should prove to be just as good as the first.

— Ryan Querbach

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” Network: NBC Premieres: 8 p.m., Wednesday Sept. 22 “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” — often referred to as just SVU — took the “Law & Order” formula, added sexual tension, an aging rapper with a lisp and the dynamo pairing of Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay and turned the spin-off into ratings gold. With the original being cancelled last season, “SVU” is now the granddaddy of the “Law & Order” series.

— Carmen Forman — Joshua Boydston

“Lie to Me” Network: FOX Premieres: 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 10 “Lie To Me” is a criminal drama where the lead, Cal Lightman, uses psychological findings to determine if his suspects are guilty or innocent.

This season, Lightman is faced with the possibility of having sent an innocent man to his death, and he must determine if a dead woman was killed from a failed assassination plot or if she was simply killed as a cover up for an even bigger story. This, combined with a couple of Lightman’s own personal issues, promise to make this an exciting season.

— Kathryne Sites

“Hellcats” Network: The CW Already premiered. Airs: 8 p.m.

Wednesdays Because the CW thinks its audience hasn’t gotten sick of drama and “beautiful people,” this college cheerleading drama is based around a student joining the squad to keep enough money to stay in college, and all of the drama, backstabbing and general distaste that comes with such things.

— AJ Lansdale

“Criminal Minds” Network: CBS Premieres: 8 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22 The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit is back to hunt down more serial killers in the sixth season of one of the best crime shows on TV. One hopes the melodrama surrounding Agent Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) will have calmed down between seasons, and we can get back to what makes this show awesome: the nut-job murderers we meet every week, Garcia’s (Kristen Vangsness) delightful

MODERN FAMILY

— Annika Larson

“Cougar Town” Network: ABC Premieres: 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 22 Forty is the new 20 on this comedy sitcom starring Courteney CoxArquette struggling to stay afloat in the dating pool while raising her teenage son. Generally geared toward an older audience, the show kicks off its second season with a guest appearance

by Jennifer Aniston as CoxArquette’s new therapist, reuniting two of TV’s favorite “Friends.”

— Margo Basse

“Law & Order: Los Angeles” Network: NBC Premieres: 9 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 29 I am sure you had been thinking, “Hey, the ‘Law & Order’ series only consumes 20 hours of my week.

Why can’t I spend all my waking hours watching some variation of the program?” Prayers have been answered in the form of “Law & Order: Los Angeles,” featuring Doctor Octop ... err, Alfred Molina along with ex-War Machine, Terrence Howard.

— JB

“The Defenders” Network: CBS Premieres: 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 22 What’s a better city to defend than Vegas, baby?

CBS’ latest addition to the plethora of buddy shows pairs B-list TV vets Jim Belushi (the lowbrow “According to Jim”) and Jerry O’Connell (NBC’s underrated “Crossing Jordan”) as ... ahem ... morally ambiguous Sin City defense attorneys. While the self-described “Defenders” may not be “Boston Legal’s” Alan Shore and Denny Crane, they have a knack for winning cases while managing to piss off the courtroom at the same time. “The Defenders” may be just another offbeat, “Boston Legal”-esque courtroom drama, but I’m hoping this little trooper’s charming sleaziness actually gives these two underrated actors — and us the viewers — material worth the while.

HOROSCOPE

By Bernice Bede Osol

Copyright 2010, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2010 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Guard against strong inclinations to take any material risks. Something might sound good, but unless you fully understand it, you’ll be taking a flyer on a potential loss.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Be particularly careful when it comes to anything that could affect some financial dealings you have with friends. Take care not to make any questionable maneuvers.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - It might seem like the clever thing to do, but getting your associates to handle things for you instead of doing the work yourself will end poorly. Be self-sufficient.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - There is nothing wrong with your ability to size up situations accurately, but that doesn’t mean you’ll follow what your common sense tells you to do. It’ll be your loss if you don’t.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Don’t do anything that could greatly weaken your financial wherewithal if things go south.

Loading up more debt will place you in a hopeless position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It’ll be hard to unwind something that goes awry between you and a few others, if neither you nor they are willing to accept what the problem might be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - More losses will naturally occur if you are impractical regarding the management of your working funds. It would be like asking the fox to watch the henhouse for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Miscalculations are possible, owing to, first, your questionable judgment, and second, seeking counsel from some inept advisors. Analyze the advice of those who don’t agree with you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Although you might see yourself possessing advantages in certain areas, your judgment may be based solely on a whole bunch of wishful thinking. Face the facts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Even if there are ample opportunities around you where relationships are concerned, it isn’t likely that you will know how to use them in ways that could benefit you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) People rarely change, so don’t place your faith in the very people who have disappointed you in the past. ust because you want to believe they’re different, this isn’t likely to be the case.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Anything you allow to slip between the cracks will crowd you into a corner as time goes on, so, if you’re smart, you’ll get all your duties and responsibilities taken care of right now.

James Corley, sports editor dailysports@ou.edu • phone: 405-325-3666

COLUMN

Fans’ Sooner spirit should not outweigh national pride Less than a week after the anniversary of the Sept. 11 atSTAFF COLUMN LUMN tacks, and in the wake of the withdrawal of combat troops Aaron Colen olen out of Iraq, the subjects of war, troops and patriotism are likely at the forefront of many peoples’ minds.

To add on to and localize that idea, the Air Force Academy football team will visit Norman on Saturday to face the Sooners.

Often times, when an opposing team travels to another stadium, they are not received with respect. Games are sometimes preceded by trash-talking and insults traded by the teams through the media, and even the occasional pre-game scuffle on the field.

SUE OGROCKI/AP For example, several players pushed and shoved each other Senior Tyler Lusher cheers during the Florida State game on the field after the opening kickoff of OU’s game Saturday Saturday in Norman. Fans should refrain from yelling “Sooners� against Florida State. at the end of the National Anthem, The Daily’s Aaron Colen says.

The game against Air Force should be different; at least I hope it is.

I understand that emotions run high and the intensity and But I think this situation isn’t about exercising our freedom. competitiveness on the field can manifest itself in post-play scrapping between players, but — particularly in a game It’s about respecting those who serve and have given their lives against a service academy — I think the game should be the so we can have the trivial freedom to cheer on a sports team.

That one word at the end of our National Anthem might epitome of respectful competition.

There has already been talk about Sooner fans’ habit of yell- not mean so much to you or me. It might seem like it’s nothing “Sooners� over the last word of our national anthem. It isn’t ing to shout over that word. But in this situation, maybe we should consider what it means to universally approved during any those on the other side of the ball, week, but against Air Force those or more importantly, the other side who think the tradition is unpatriBut I think this situation isn’t about of the world fighting this very day. otic are likely to be more vocal. exercising our freedom.

Waiting one second to yell “Sooners� seems to be a small — and I think that’s a good idea.

I’ve heard some of the things people say in protest to the price to pay to show a sign of respect to the men and women idea of not continuing the OU fan tradition: “It’s too politi- who serve the United States.

More important than any sports tradition is that we recally correct,� “I have freedom of speech� or “It’s just for fun, it member OU is only the home of the Sooners because of the means no disrespect.�

THE DAILY’S SOONER SPORTS STOCK REPORT RISING: Football’s secondary OU’s cornerbacks, specifically junior Jamell Fleming and senior Jonathan Nelson, were as different as night and day between the Utah State and Florida State games. The secondary held Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder to 113 passing yards and no touchdowns in the win.

RISING: Football’s tight ends Juniors James Hanna and Trent Ratterree caught their first career touchdowns Saturday against the Seminoles.

The pair played well and restored hope that freshman Austin Haywood can stay redshirted this season.

RISING: Volleyball team The Sooners finished their non-conference schedule in style by sweeping the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational tournament last weekend. The team had a good balance of hitting, blocking and defending in all three games. OU will need the momentum going into a tough conference schedule that includes games against three top-25 teams.

EVEN: Soccer team The team seems to be in a holding pattern. Despite an influx of new talent, OU hasn’t outdone its 5-0 start last year. However, the Sooners play a tougher non-conference schedule with more road games this season and they’ve displayed flashes of promise. When conference play begins, the direction of the Sooners’ season will come into focus.

Offense preparing for stiff defensive test Air Force’s defense poses ‘challenge,’ team says CLARK FOY The Oklahoma Daily

Sophomore quarterback Landry Jones passes the ball Saturday against Florida State. Jones says Air Force’s defense will test the Sooners.

OU will face one of the better secondaries on its schedule when the Air Force Falcons visit the No. 7 Sooners on Saturday.

Three starters return to the Falcon secondary after last season where the starting defensive backs accounted for 18 interceptions. Of those, 10 came from the two starting cornerbacks — junior Anthony Wright and senior Reggie Rembert.

Wright and Rembert both received all-conference honors last season in the Mountain West — Wright making first team while Rembert made second. This season, the Falcons are allowing 168.5 passing yards per game after allowing 154 last season.

Receivers coach Jay Norvell said while the name Air Force might not carry the weight of other teams on

the schedule, the Falcons’ corners are quality players.

“They’re good corners, they’re opportunistic, they’re all-league players, they turn the ball over, they hit you on the perimeter —they’re impressive,” Norvell said. “So our kids, when they see that film they’re challenged and it’s going to be important that we bring it this weekend.”

Last week, the Sooners moved the ball thanks to their air attack.

Sophomore quarterback Landry Jones was 30-40 for 380 yards and four touchdowns.

Many players also stepped up to give Jones and the offense additional receiving threats. Each of Jones’ touchdowns passes went to a different receiver.

Jones said Air Force’s defense will test the Sooners.

“Their secondary is made up of guys who are aggressive, they’re fast and they play the ball well, so it’s going to be a really good challenge for us to go against them,” he said.

VOLLEYBALL

OU looks to start conference play with win against Colorado tonight The Sooner volleyball team heads into conference play with a matchup against Colorado at 7:30 tonight in Boulder, Colo.

OU is 5-9 all time in conference openers, but recent history favors the Sooners, who have won four straight.

Big games from junior hitter Suzy Boulavsky, who leads the team with 3.49 kills and set a career high with 22 kills against Arkansas on Sept. 7, and junior setter Brianne Barker, who put up 57 assists at Arkansas, would go a long way to insuring a Sooner victory.

Defensively, OU has been getting a lot of help from younger players.

Freshman middle blocker Sallie McLaurin and sophomore defensive specialist María Fernanda both made the all-tournament team at the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational last weekend.

The Sooners look to continue their early-season success by opening up their Big 12 schedule with a win.

The Sooners host Texas Tech at 7 p.m. Sept. 22, also OU’s second annual Pledge for a Cure drive game.
