‘Boomer Sooner’ causes issues Undergraduate Student Congress votes against congratulatory resolution STAFF REPORTS

The Undergraduate Student Congress voted against a resolution Tuesday amid concerns of the resolution’s use of the phrase “Boomer Sooner.”

The resolution, authored by Humanities Repres entative B r i a n O w i n g s, w o u l d h av e been Congress publicly saying “Boomer Sooner” to congratulate OU athletic teams. The resolution would then have been distributed to representatives of those respective teams.

Another representative proposed a hostile amendment to strike the phrase “Boomer

Sooner” due to the controversy surrounding it, but the amendment was defeated by a hand vote.

Opponents of the resolution argued against it because of the controversy of the phrase “Boomer Sooner,” an issue brought to the forefront in September by student group Indigenize OU, which argued that the phrase contributes to the erasure of Native people

and their history. Others worried that it would show favoritism to sports teams over other campus groups.

The resolution was defeated by a vote of 13 for and 20 against, with one representative abstaining.

Fest to bring truckloads of food Concertgoers’ chow options range from tacos to turkey legs EMMA KEITH @shakeitha_97

This year’s Norman Music Festival will feature plenty of talent and flavor, and not just from the stages and musical acts.

The festival will host 15 food trucks from all around the Norman and OKC area to showcase their work and feed the masses. The food truck scene will be an eclectic mix of old and new, featuring everything from Thai food to Czech treats.

While concession stands are a festival tradition, the large lineup of full-service food trucks is a newer addition to Norman Music Festival, said Joshua Boydston, a member of the festival’s board of directors.

“Last year was kind of an increased focus on getting food trucks as opposed to just kind of concessions, corn dogs, that kind of thing,” Boydston said. “Everybody loves the lemonade, corn dogs and funnel cakes, but I’d say last year was kind of the start of a bigger push for food trucks, and hopefully this year is a really good experience.”

While several trucks are new this year, a few have participated in the festival in years past. Boydston said Big Truck Tacos, an Oklahoma City-area taco truck and a participant in the festival since its first year, is expected to be one of the more popular trucks.

While Big Truck Tacos

had humble beginnings at the festival, it is now popular enough to work the Opolis Lot, a prime spot featuring only one truck, said Marlena Vair, truck and catering director for Big Truck Tacos.

“Our first year being there, it wasn’t as popular as we had hoped, but that was the very first year, so it wasn’t as organized,” Vair said. “But now it’s more organized, a larger crowd. It’s gonna be a great turnout, I believe.”

Though new to the Norman Music Festival scene this year, Coit’s Food Truck also has an established and beloved local name.

“Coit’s was started in 1954,” owner Dean Coit said. “They sold hamburgers, hot dogs, breakfast items, so everybody has their own favorite items. My family shut it down in 2012, and we were kind of missing it, so we’re just doing just the food truck right now.”

Coit said he and his family are prepared to sell thousands of their signature hot dogs and root beers at the festival.

While sit-down restaurants are also available to festival patrons, the food trucks seem to do just as well as the brickand mortar-establishments, Boydston said.

“It kind of depends on what the patrons want out of the experience,” Boydston said.

“But everyone does really well. The trucks and the vendors that participate every year are always really eager to come back.”

Boydston said that trucks’ participation is first-come, first-served based on applications and payment of deposits. While some trucks apply on their own, some are

invited by the festival’s board based on reputation or board members’ experiences with the trucks.

Let’s Do Greek, a family-owned Greek truck, was one of the vendors that received an invitation.

“We’re so happy and lucky,” Let’s Do Greek owner Marsha Aguilar said. “Of course we jumped on the chance. You know, the process has been really easy.”

However easy the application process, truck operators at the festival must be prepared to stock up on supplies, plan ahead on routes into the festival and serve some of the thousands of patrons expected to attend.

Boydston said that last year’s estimated attendance was 80,000 people, and the

festival board hopes to bring out at least 75,000 this year.

No matter what their past experience with the festival, truck operators are enthusiastic about what the weekend may bring for their businesses. Aguilar said her family is excited to join the festival lineup for the first time.

“We’ve always gone to the Norman Music Festival just as spectators because we just love it,” Aguilar said. “It’s such a fun thing. So to be asked to be a part of it is just fantastic.

“We’re hoping just having the truck out there is a lot of marketing, and people will get to eat our food, and hopefully we’ll get some venues out of it in the future.”

10 TIPS TO ENJOY THE NORMAN MUSIC FESTIVAL 1. Hydrate. Outside food and beverage are not allowed, but bottled water is.

2. Chairs are only allowed on festival grounds until 6 p.m., so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on staying later, bring a blanket or two to sit on.

3. Have a game plan. Look at the schedule online beforehand, or download the free Norman Music Festival app so you know which bands are playing, when they perform and on which stage.

4. Bring cash. You never know which vendors will accept credit cards and which will not.

5. Bring an external battery pack. With all the pictures and videos you will be taking on your cellphone, the last thing you want is a dead device.

6. Consider taking an Uber, especially if you are of age and you plan on drinking. This will also avoid a parking headache, since you will be dropped off right outside the festival. Uber is offering a $20 discount for new users with the code â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;NORMANMUSIC.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 7. Check the weather. If rain is in the forecast, bring an umbrella or rain jacket so the rain doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruin your fun.

8. Bring a small backpack, cross body bag or fanny pack to hold your essentials.

Oklahoma native, Samantha Crain performs at the Norman Music Festival in 2014. Crain will be returning this year.

Folk singer empathizes

Samantha Crain brings songs of struggle to Norman MIA PONS

@miaisabel4

With powerful lyrics, soulful melodies and an intense voice, Samantha Crain, an Americana-folk musician and Shawnee, Oklahoma, native, will be one of several headliners at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Norman Music Festival.

Crainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under Branch & Thorn & Tree,â&#x20AC;? contains interpretations of the struggles and strengths of characters worldwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have more life to write about than just simply heartbreak,â&#x20AC;? Crain said.

Crain wrote the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elk City,â&#x20AC;? found on her album, about the time she drove through Elk City and met a woman at a restaurant while having dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lady also sitting at the bar began telling me her whole life story without any prompting from me,â&#x20AC;? said Crain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was having a hard go at it. I took her story and turned it into this song.â&#x20AC;?

Elk City, the now sleepy little town, had an oil boom in the 1970s that attracted

many job-seeking people.

The song is about a woman who came for that reason but ended up stuck, Crain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe people have a hard time, naturally, feeling empathy for people that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like them. So this is an attempt at showing an underdogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life to people that have led a different life, and my hopes that it leads to empathy,â&#x20AC;? she said about the universality of the song.

Crain, a member of the Choctaw Nation, said she has never felt like she belonged â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to a group or space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to terms with that, for myself, is that the displacement my ancestors were forced into during the Trail of Tears â&#x20AC;&#x201D; part of that still runs in my blood,â&#x20AC;? Crain said.

She thinks that might be why she searches for a place to belong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is why I tour, why I travel,â&#x20AC;? Crain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, the searching, that poured out onto paper in the form of songs.â&#x20AC;?

Crain has been on several tours through the U.S. and Europe since 2011, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support I receive from those crowds is nearly the entire reason I can still

make records,â&#x20AC;? Crain said.

Crain also made the point that the U.K. and Ireland revere music more than the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like musicians have been forced into a type of prostitution almost in the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have become merely liquor salespeople and party starters, which I fail miserably at since the majority of my songs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t upbeat and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sexy.â&#x20AC;?

Crain has played at the Norman Music Festival before. In 2014, she led the peaceful protest against the band Pink Pony, whose members said they would be wearing full regalia during their set at the festival.

Crain said since then she has been touring in Europe but is looking forward to the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is a good mix of bands and artists playing really something for everyone,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While the festival brings depth to and opportunities for artists and musicians, Crain points to how funding education is even more important when it comes to promoting the arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as we try and come up with cool new ways to bring arts to the forefront of a growing and

modernizing state, none of it matters much if we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spending money on the education of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, and first, integrating art and music into their learning throughout their childhood,â&#x20AC;?

Crain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for me to even think about our tiny music scene as thriving until these basic social infrastructure issues are solved.â&#x20AC;?

Samantha Crain will perform at 6 p.m. Saturday, on the Bud Light Depot Stage.

Check out her latest album on iTunes.

9. Make sure you check the Norman Music Festival website so you know which items are allowed and which ones arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The last thing you want is to be turned away because you showed up with a cooler (Which arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed, by the way.)

10. Have fun! With the end of the semester just around the corner, chances are youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more than a little stressed.

So grab your friends and enjoy a night of good tunes and good food.

Parking info: While the festival may be free to all, parking around downtown Norman will not be. However, any festivalgoerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best bet for ďŹ nding parking will be around the Cleveland County Court Clerk building and in the surrounding residential areas, according to Public Safety Information OfďŹ cer for Norman PD Sarah Jensen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like on an OU game day, we put up a reminder to people to make sure that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re parking legally, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not parking against yellow curbs, blocking driveways or ďŹ re hydrants ... we just want people to park safely,â&#x20AC;? Jensen said.

Punk rock group Power Trip will perform at Norman Music Festival this weekend. The band just returned from a tour with Lamb of God and Anthrax.

Punk rockers to take Norman

Band in middle of two-continent tour to stop in Norman ALLISON WEINTRAUB @AllieFrances12

Punk rock group Power Trip is not messing around when it comes to bringing intensity to the band’s music and its upcoming performance at the Norman Music Festival.

Lead singer Riley Gale brings that intensity to everything that he does. He got into the punk scene naturally, living in San Diego during the hardcore punk renaissance.

“I had a cousin who was a couple years older than me,” Gale said. “He liked all that kinda early Fat Wreck/ Epitaph scene. He got me into NOFX and Stung Out. I could download an MP3 overnight of a new band, so every day I would go home

from school and and download one MP3 on like a 52k connection. Then the next morning, I would get up early and listen to it.”

Ever since those fateful middle school years, Gale has been heavily invested in the punk scene.

“I had a band in high school that was just like a crappy punk band that played like backyard birthday parties, and then about the time I was 17, I was able to start my first band that actually recorded and played around,” Gale said. However, Power Trip didn’t form until 2008.

Gale knew guitar player Blake Ibanez, whose band would occasionally open for one of Gale’s earlier bands.

“I had been sitting on this idea to start this band that had this specific sound,” Gale said.

Gale posted about it online and Ibanez responded.

“Our parents lived in the same neighborhood, so I was like, ‘the next time that I’m in town visiting my parents, maybe we’ll get together and jam,’” Gale said. “I was pretty wary because I was 22 and he was only 16. Then as soon as we got together and started jamming, we wrote like three songs that day.”

Meanwhile, Ibanez was still in another band called Reality Check.

Gale said that was an easy problem to fix. “They just kicked out their singer, changed their name, and that was Power Trip,” he said Rhythm guitarist Nick Stewart and bassist Chris Whetzel, were part of the deal. The band’s drummer Chris Ulsh is the newest member, but also the drummer who has been around the longest.

Together, the band has an impressive touring schedule, just coming off a tour

with Lamb of God and Anthrax.

Power Trip’s songs draw from a variety of sources.

Gale likes to write about “where we’re heading as people because that’s what hasn’t been written yet, and that’s what let me have something interesting to talk about — rather than writing the same songs again and again,” he said Gale admits he’s heavily influenced by science f i c t i o n , bu t a l s o d raw s from Michel Foucault’s “Discipline and Punish,” writing songs about medieval torture. Specific torture devices, executioners, taxes and the development of the prison system all make appearances in songs.

“All metal songs can’t be

rainbows and sunshine, so sometimes it’s some kinda grim stuff, but usually I try to make it feel empowering,” Gale said, laughing.

Gale sometimes draws from his own reading, which is varied and voracious.

Currently working his way through “Autobiography of Mark Twain,” he said he highly recommends the novel “Sphinx” by Anne Garreta, a member of the French experimental literary group Oulipo.

Gale also reads a lot of comics.

“It’s easier to read in the van,” he said.

With Power Trip in the middle of a massive tour spanning two continents, having played with some heavy-hitters like Foreseen,

Death Side, Gag and Lower Species, it doesn’t seem like they’d have time for anything else. Gale said that they have “something for the U.S. that we haven’t announced yet,” coming up this summer.

As for the band’s set on Friday, “so much depends on the crowd,” Gale said.

“I know that we’re going to come out there, and we’re going to play hard and fast.

Since it’s free, I expect basically any kid who likes punk and hardcore in Oklahoma to be there.”

Power Trip will be playing at 11 p.m. Friday on the Fowler Honda Gray Street Stage. Check out the band’s latest album on Spotify.

BSA condemns budget Organization takes issue with process of SGA allocations STAFF REPORTS

The OU Black Student Association criticized the process of receiving funds from the Student Government Association in a letter Wednesday, despite receiving more primar y funding than any other organization in its classification.

The funding for var ious student groups was a p p rov e d a t Tu e s d a y ’s Undergraduate Student Congress meeting. BSA was awarded $10,000 in primary funds, more than any other non-administrative organization, but only about 12 percent of the $82,340 the organization requested.

The letter, written by BSA President Naome Kadira, claims the organization’s treasurer was asked questions unrelated to the BSA budget at a budgetary allocation interview, with the implied suggestion that BSA needed to make its mission less ethnic in order to receive more funding.

Th e l e tt e r s t at e s : “ In short, students who are not culturally sensitive of other communities are left to freely monopolize allocation funds at their own discretion and there appears to be no oversight or due process procedures that would survive a legal challenge.”

T h e t o t a l a m o u nt a l located to non-administrative organizations was $134,749.

The letter later says: “To say the least, the budget committe e’s allocation process is narcissistic and benefits disproportionately

SIANDHARA BONNET/THE DAILY

Black Student Association President Naome Kadira speaks with a reporter. BSA requested $82,340 for funding.

organizations such as the Campus Activities Council (CAC), in which leadership roles are continuously recycled between CAC and the SGA that only cater to the needs of the majority group organizations and majority student groups.”

BSA’s primary funding has increased every academic year since the 20142015 academic year.

CAC, the programming branch of SGA, received an allocation of $160,000 as part of a different bill dealing with funding for administrative organizations. In a report card released earlier this year, OU black student alliance Unheard demanded a concrete explanation of what constitutes an administrative organization.

SGA President Daniel Pae said the budget committee does not get to make these decisions unilaterally, with

all allocations needing approval from both legislative bodies.

SGA Vice President Michael Lutter said the total amount of funds requested every year greatly exceeds the total amount allocated.

Pa e a l s o s a i d Bu d g e t Chair Matthew Cramm, who is mentioned multiple times in the letter, has done a good job in a difficult position.

“The process is not perfect … We hope that (the next budget chair) will take into consideration these concerns and try to improve the process along the way,” Pae said.

Cramm was not available for comment before the original publication of this story. The Daily will update this story when more information becomes available.

BSA FUNDING • Black Student Association received $10,000 in primary funds.

• BSA’s amount was more than any other non-administrative organization.

• BSA received 12 percent of the $82,340 requested amount.

Over 140 faculty, staff intend to take part in retirement program More than 140 people have notified OU of their intention to take part in the university’s incentivized retirement program, according to information The Daily acquired through the OU Open Records office.

As of April 4, 146 people had notified the university of their intention to retire through the Special Voluntary Retirement Incentive program. Ninety-two of these were classified as staff, while 54 were classified as faculty.

There were 386 people eligible for the program. Nick Hathaway, the university’s vice president of administration and finance, previously said the expectation was for about 20 percent of those eligible to take part in the program.

Nearly 38 percent of those eligible have accepted the offer.

The university announced the program in January as part of a plan to close a $20 million budget gap. The retirement program was expected to account for $10 million in savings annually.

As part of the retirement plan, the retirees will receive a lump sum payment equal to 75 percent of their yearly salary, not to exceed $100,000. Hathaway previously said the funds for the lump sum will not come from the general university budget.

OU alumni awarded Pulitzers for database, breaking news coverage Three OU graduates were awarded Pulitzer Prizes Tuesday for their work in the field of journalism.

Hailey Branson-Potts and Mark Potts, who graduated from the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, were honored for their contributions to The Los Angeles Times’ coverage of the San Bernardino terrorist attacks.

Additionally, the staff of The Washington Post was honored for “its revelatory initiative in creating and using a national database to illustrate how often and why the police shoot to kill and who the victims are most likely to be.” Among the members of the staff was OU graduate David Fallis, who serves as the organization’s deputy investigations editor. The Post’s database examines every fatal shooting by an on-duty officer in 2015.

Book grants gain steam Program promotes new, less-expensive alternative texts ABIGAIL BITTERMAN @abby_bitterman

The OU Price College of Business will begin giving grants to match those given

by OU Libraries to faculty members who adopt alternative textbooks in an effort to reduce the cost of textbooks for students.

I n t h e t h i rd y e a r t h e University Librariesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A l t e r n a t i v e Te x t b o o k Initiative has been offered, 18 OU faculty members have applied to receive the grant and to begin work on their alternative textbook, said Karen Rupp-Serrano, the interim associate dean for scholarly resources and services. In the two previous grant cycles, 21 faculty members total have received a grant and been awarded a total of $51,100, according to the University Librariesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; website.

Rupp-Serrano said the money for the grants comes from funds set aside to assist with textbook costs. In addition to Price College, the College of Ar ts & S ciences als o gives matching grants to its faculty members who receive the Librariesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grants. Faculty from the colleges of Engineering, Fine Ar ts, Architecture and Journalism & Mass Communication have also participated in the grant program, Rupp-Serrano said. The maximum grant given is $2,500.

Cody Taylor, an electrical engineering senior who assists Rupp-Serrano with the Alternative Textbook Initiative, said alternative textbooks are â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the most part just textbooks, but sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s YouTube videos, journal articles and just websites in general that are publicly accessible.â&#x20AC;?

Laku Chidambaram, the associate dean of academic programs and engagement, said Price College is trying a small pilot project involving four areas within the college. He said the college became interested in the grant program because it wanted to save students money.

Chidambaram said four Price College faculty members have expressed interest in the program and one has applied for the grant so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are testing the impact,â&#x20AC;? Chidambaram said.

Price College is mainly focused on incorporating open textbooks into its

OU students allowed to keep school email addresses after they graduate

SIANDHARA BONNET/THE DAILY

Students read from alternative textbooks in the library April 18. The OU Price College of Business hopes to incorporate open textbooks into classes.

classes.

Open textbooks are â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentially free textbooks that are not copyrighted and are available online,â&#x20AC;?

Chidambaram said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One big advantage is that faculty can customize these books; they can use a certain chapter or set of chapters. They can add material if they want, and they can mix and match chapters from more than one open textbook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win for both.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more affordable for the students and more flexible for the faculty.â&#x20AC;?

While this program is new for Price College, faculty members who had received an alternative textbook grant in one of the previous cycles are beginning to implement their new books into their classes. Eli Bridge, an assistant professor in the Oklahoma Biological Survey, received a grant from Libraries last year for $2,500, as well as a matching grant from the College of Arts & Sciences.

Instead of using open textbooks, Bridge used his grant money to pay a graduate student to take his lecture notes and â&#x20AC;&#x153;turn them into a simple text layout,â&#x20AC;? he said. He then created a free online textbook for his principles of physiology course to replace a $200 book he had been using. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually polled the class one time and said,

Ongoing construction on Interstate 35 will shut down a major interstate access route in Norman later this month.

Construction will close the Lindsey Street bridge over I-35 starting April 26 until early 2017. The closure will cut off all access routes to the interstate from Lindsey Street, according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

Drivers will be provided with an alternate I-35 access route through the new SH 9 East interchange.

The Lindsey Street construction will provide a new Single Point Urban Interchange, which will feature longer I-35 on-ramps and off-ramps and a wider bridge, much like the I-35 bridge at Main Street.

The construction is expected to continue into 2017, according to ODOT. Staff Reports

OU Information Technology announced Tuesday that students may keep their -ou.edu email addresses for a lifetime at no charge.

The plan to allow students to keep their email addresses forever began in May 2014 as way to help students maintain their connections to the OU family, said Courtney KneiďŹ&#x201A;, the marketing and communications manager for OU IT. However, while students may keep their email addresses forever, the other tools that come with OfďŹ ce 365 disappear after graduating. OfďŹ ce Pro Plus and other productivity tools are only licensed to active students, KneiďŹ&#x201A; said.

Recent graduates, however, may purchase OfďŹ ce 365 Personal at a discounted price on the OfďŹ ce 365 website.

2010 to Present

Woodstock Music & Art Fair in White Lake, New York (1969).

Four hundred thousand people gathered in upstate New York to attend a concert that changed a generation.Hippie subculture and its fashion promoted sexual liberation, reflecting the mottos of â&#x20AC;&#x153;peace, love, and freedom.â&#x20AC;?

South by Southwest in Austin, Texas (1987). 1980s fashion was influenced by second-wave feminism when styles became more minimalist and professional. More women were joining the workforce and using style to represent strength and power through repurposed menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trends.

Lollapalooza in Chicago, Illinois (1991). The 1990s marked the beginning of grunge, hip-hop and the rave scene. With alternative rock came alternative fashion; minimalism was back. With the help of popular and alternative musicians,grunge became mainstream for both sexes. Grunge fashion promoted eco-friendly ideas and androgyny in fashion.

Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee (2002).

This festival featured indie rock, folk-rock, Americana and bluegrass. Fashion in the 2000s was largely a mix of styles from previous decades. Its trends reflected the changes in technology taking place by incorporating futuristic schemes.

Current festival fashion embodies street-style trends of past with modern influence. Music festivals today are as much about fashion as they are about music.

Current fashion is less about placing yourself within socioeconomic class and more about expressing beliefs and finding a community.
