Dan Arnett challenges Congressman Dan Boren RICKY MARANON The Oklahoma Daily

Republican Dan Arnett announced Wednesday he will run against U.S. Rep. Dan Boren in the 2010 election for Oklahoma’s second district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Arnett, a law student and legal intern for Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater, announced his intention to run exclusively with The Daily.

“I’m a firm believer that if you want

something done right, then you have to do it yourself,” Arnett said.

He said Boren is more concerned with maintaining his position than making real change for the people in his district.

“He doesn’t want to DAN rock the boat, and he ARNETT doesn’t use his vote for real change,” Arnett said.

“The most he’s done is author bills naming post offices and supporting resolutions that recognize special groups on holidays.”

Arnett, 24, equated Boren’s alleged inaction to “taxation without representation,” and said he is only a conservative because of convenience.

“He is conservative on two issues — [abortion] and the second amendment,” Arnett said. “On everything else, he aligns himself with President Obama.”

Arnett said his issues go beyond ideological disagreements.

“The most important issue will be the economy,” he said. “I also want to simplify the tax code, make social security benefits inheritable, give the president the power of a line-item veto and present measures that will

make representatives more accountable.”

If elected, Arnett will be 26-years-old when he takes office. He said his age gives him an opportunity to represent his generation.

“Younger generations are becoming more politically active,” he said. ”The median age for representatives is 50, and if I am elected, my generation will have another voice in Congress.”

Congressman Boren said he is busy doing the job Oklahomans elected him to do last November, and hasn’t formally announced his future plans.

First, Kelly missed OU’s Fiesta Bowl loss to West Virginia with a quadriceps injury. Then came his pro day, where, according to reports, Kelly lashed out at some Sooner coaches after a last-minute switch in running surfaces might have contributed to his less-than-stellar time in the 40-yard dash.

“I guess I learned from it a little bit,” Kelly said. “I should have talked it over more with [director of sports enhancement Jerry Schmidt]. I’m sorry for the way I blew up.”

Those concerns about injuries, speed and attitude caused Kelly’s name to slide into the second round of the draft, where the Washington Redskins selected him with the 51st overall pick. His quadriceps injury, along with arthroscopic knee surgery in August, limited Kelly to five games in his

New credit card law will benefit students

ILLUSTRATION BY LIZ GREENE/THE DAILY

A bill recently signed into law by Presdent Obama is designed to reduce credit card debt by requiring people under 21 to prove they can repay debt before they are issued credit cards.

Graduating college seniors have high hopes and high credit card debt COLIN CURLEY The Oklahoma Daily

Last month, President Barack Obama signed the Credit Card Act of 2009, a bill that will regulate credit card companies from charging excessive fees and to limit interest rate increases.

The bill also restricts credit lines to $500 or 20 percent of income for people younger than 21.

The bill, scheduled to take effect in July 2010, is designed to protect consumers in debt from surprise fees resulting from paying bills online or by phone. Credit card companies will also have to provide an explanation and 45-day notice before any rates are increased.

Restrictions will also be placed on consumers. People under 21 trying to acquire a credit card must be able to prove they or their legal guardians can pay off the debt.

According to Campus Progress, a student-oriented political think tank, aggressive marketing by the card companies and multimillion-dollar agreements with universities have presented young people with ample opportunities to borrow money they can’t repay. College seniors with credit cards are graduating with an average balance of $4,100, a 41 percent increase in the past five years, the group says.

Steven Atkins, anthropology senior, said he recently paid off his credit card after being in debt for a few months.

“I was walking down the South Oval one day and saw a Bank of America stand giving out credit cards,” Atkins said.

“I decided I needed to establish credit so I signed up. After receiving my free blanket, I went straight to the bars and ran up all my tabs. I guess I got a little carried away.”

OU press secretary Jay Doyle said OU offers several educational programs and counseling to help prevent credit card abuse and poor money management.

“OU’s Financial Education & Counseling Center provides students with free information about managing

their finances,” Doyle said. There are also workshops for students to learn about budgeting and debt management, he said.

Doyle said more than half of incoming freshman are enrolled in the “Gateway to College Learning” course, a course available only to freshmen that provides information and resources for how to succeed in college. Each class includes a unit on financial issues faced by college students.

“Each [textbook] that instructors may choose has a chapter that focuses on financial success and the use of credit cards,” Doyle said.

Atkins said he has never heard of any educational programs offering financial advice, however.

“It sounds like a good idea,” Atkins said. “It is pretty poorly advertised though.”

OU currently holds a contract with Bank of America, allowing it exclusive rights to market its cards to students, staff and alumni.

“For many years, the University of Oklahoma has had an agreement in place with a single credit card company,” Doyle said. “By having an agreement in place, the university has a way to control marketing efforts.”

Doyle said the funds received from Bank of America are designated for campus improvements.

Unusual intersession course gathers students from across the globe

JACOB VOGT/THE DAILY

International students Wouter Van Der Star and Autje Gittel distinguish colony colors from bacteria samples drawn from the Norman landfill.

Course focuses on microbes which break down pollutants KYLE WEST The Oklahoma Daily

Microbiology professor Joseph Suflita isn’t teaching your typical intersession course.

His class is composed of 24 students from around the world who came to Norman specifically to study how biotechnology can be used to clean the environment. Twelve students traveled from Europe for the course, and 12 are from the United States.

“I think it’s a real feather in OU’s cap that this was chosen as the place that students from all over Europe and the U.S. have come,” Suflita said. “I’m pleased that OU is able to host them.”

Allan Simonsen came from Copenhagen, Denmark, to take part in the course.

“It’s been really great, definitely. We’ve met a lot of scientists that work in the same field,” Simonsen said. “We’ve learned a lot. The Norman landfill is a good place to study what we’re learning about.”

Suflita said the Norman landfill is a national research site for microbial biodegradation education.

“People come from all over the world to experiment in the Norman landfill,” he said.

The course is sponsored by the U.S. – E.U. Commission Task Force on Biotechnology Research.

Suflita said one of the most important things about the course was to bring students from the U.S. and E.U. together.

He said the course is meant to foster an international community between students and professors, while preparing students for a future using microbial degradation — the breakdown of environmental pollutants using microbial processes.

“These are people I hope that will be collaborating with each other for a long time,” Suflita said. “We’re not so different, and our contamination problems are not so different. Let’s focus on what we have in common instead of our differences.

Pollution doesn’t know borders, so we shouldn’t either.”

While imports grew by 215 percent in volume from 2004 to 2008, 5,100 domestic workers’ jobs were eliminated at four tire plants, including the one in Oklahoma City, according to the union.

The union has argued that the imports have disrupted the domestic market.

The OU IT Store is providing free cleaning and disposal of old university-owned computer hardware this week as part of their “Spring Clean-up” initiative.

University employees with out-of-date or dysfunctional equipment can e-mail OU Information Technology and arrange a pick-up time.

The OU IT Store normally charges $65 for erasing information from items over 6-years-old, but will provide the service free of charge through Friday.

OU IT spokesman Nicholas

Key said there are two reasons for the clean-up campaign.

“The first function is a green function,” Key explained. “All of the items that are dropped off we send to be recycled or trashed in an environmentally positive way. The other function of this is that we wipe [the memory] to Department of Defense standards so if there is any proprietary information we get that information.”

Key said the clean-up is for departmental computers of any age, make or model.

University employees can arrange a pick-up time by sending an e-mail to itstore@ ou.edu.

Festival celebrates Native American culture MEGAN MORGAN The Oklahoma Daily

The annual Red Earth festival, featuring Native American art, dance and culture is this weekend in Oklahoma City.

Dubbed “Oklahoma’s outstanding event” by the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation, the festival attracts talented artists from across the U.S., said Eric Oesch, director of communications for the event.

“We have an art market with over 200 artists from across the country,” Oesch said. “And it’s also juried, so the artists must be accepted first.

This ensures the quality of the art.”

The dance competition will include more than 100 tribes competing, including Native Americans from all over the country, and even from other countries. Prizes will be awarded.

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the festival. In addition to the many tribes that will be represented, there will also be an emphasis on Oklahoma Native Americans.

“We want to continue providing an outlet for Oklahoma Indian artists to sell art,” Oesch said.

He also said that the art featured at Red Earth from Oklahoma Natives is especially noteworthy.

“One thing that makes Oklahoma Native Americans so unique is the art is so diverse,” Oesch said. “It provides Red Earth with a wide variety of art to showcase.”

Every year, the festival names an “Honored One.” This honor is awarded to a Native American master artist who has contributed to, and supported art all throughout his or her life.

Jereldine Redcorn from Norman has been named this year’s “Honored One.” “I was ecstatic, very pleased,” Redcorn said of her reaction. “It was a complete surprise.”

Redcorn’s art is a form that has not been attempted in a long time, she said.

“I’m a traditional Caddo potter, reviving it from how it was made 500 to 600 years ago,” Redcorn said.

Redcorn herself is of Caddo descent. She does a lot of research about her tribe, and about Native American pottery techniques in order to bring back this lost art.

The process is extremely labor intensive, she said.

“I want to make them just like my ancestors did and try to replicate the tools they used, and what was in their minds when they tried it,” Redcorn said.

But despite the difficulties of the process, Redcorn said she wanted to revive the style because no one else was doing it, and because she wants to inform others.

“I want to educate people that have no idea what this style of pottery is,” Redcorn said.

Caddo design is “wonderfully abstract,” Redcorn said, and it is very high quality.

Festival attendees will have the opportunity to see Redcorn’s art in addition to many others.

Red Earth kicks off on Friday at 10:30 a.m. with a parade through the streets of Oklahoma City around the Cox Convention Center.

“The parade is unique —other festivals don’t have that,” Redcorn said.

“I think it creates excitement.”

CONAN SETTLES IN TO ‘TONIGHT SHOW’ CHAIR Some people might have tuned into to NBC at 10:30 p.m. this week expecting the same old gray, but instead, were hit with a burst of red.

Conan O’Brien took over “The Tonight Show” Monday after a 16-year stint hosting “Late Night.”

Five years after it was announced that Conan would be the new host, the show fiJOSHUA BOYDSTON nally came to fruition, and for the most part, it did not disappoint.

Conan landed the “Late Night” show from virtual obscurity. After brief gigs writing for “The Simpsons” and “Saturday Night Live,” Lorne Michaels gave a nod of approval toward O’Brien, and despite no on-screen experience, he landed the job.

He learned fast, and presented a style of humor that wasn’t a brand formulated in some focus group.

It was unique, fresh, irreverent and sometimes downright weird. Come to find out, this was just what many people wanted.

A “Walker, Texas Ranger” lever, selfdefecating bear and insulting dog-puppet later, it was time for Conan to step onto an even bigger stage, and luckily it was still the same old Conan.

That isn’t to say there weren’t changes.

Most noticeably, the move from New York to L.A., which Conan has been using for joke fodder, like his first Lakers game or a guided tour of Universal Studios.

The voice of “Late Night” is gone too.

I will sadly miss the wacky, awkward Joel Goddard as announcer.

However, I am thrilled to see Andy Richter as the new announcer. He was an integral part to Conan’s early years

Now, I cannot help but wonder if the humor might be a little tamer with the earlier time-slot.

There was a bit of a softer edge to the first two episodes of “The Tonight Show,” and while the material was still extremely funny, I will be pining for those raunchy, irreverent jokes if they don’t make an appearance in the near future.

I have mixed feelings about the production values as well.

“The Tonight Show’s” new set is very sleek, the video shorts are glossy and the graphics are refined. It’s nice to see Conan with a much bigger budget for the show, but there was something I liked about the — for lack of a better word — crappiness of some of the gags on “Late Night.”

That sort of homemade feeling warmed my heart, but I’ve enjoyed the

quality of the digital shorts, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else Conan will do with an inflated budget.

These minor changes are like jewelry, though. They might be something you dislike looking at, but what makes something truly beautiful is the heart.

And there is no stronger heart than Conan.

Conan is the sort of guy who feels like a better friend than your actual friends.

He is honest, loyal and true.

I dare you to find anyone who can be as consistently funny as he is, especially considering the fact that he and his staff come up with new stuff every single night.

I’m just as enamored with Conan now as the first night I caught a glimpse of him as a young kid, beneath the covers and unable to sleep.

No matter what, with Conan at the helm, “The Tonight Show” will always prove to be a great show.

OUR VIEW

“Vouchers show up in the news because Republicans like to use them to score political points, but their impact on the D.C. school system has been negligible. The real action in school reform is going on with the efforts of DC Mayor Fenty and Schools Chancellor Rhee to negotiate a new collective-

bargaining agreement with the teachers’ union and exert more control over how public schools are managed. Even “school-choice” is hardly being advanced by voucher-based private schools. The real choices are happening with public charter schools.”

New credit card laws beneficial to students P re s i d e n t O b a m a’s credit card bill, which limits the amount of credit people younger than 21 can access, will help college students from slipping into poor credit decisions that may affect them for the rest of their lives.

By limiting the amount of credit students can receive, the bill will deprive us of the options we have to access debt – which is good news.

Credit cards have often led to unfortunate circumstances of college students racking up debt that often can’t be repaid. According to Campus Progress, the average senior graduates owing $4,100.

Although some people believe that college students should be

responsible enough to live independently, it is still the first time that we have been introduced into the world of debt.

H o w e v e r, s t u d e n t s aren’t alone in this world.

Because our university offers courses on personal finances and limits the amount of credit card companies who campaign on campus, students are able to receive the help they need to understand their financial situations.

The world of debt is full of pressures to be eligible for the latest deals, receive free blankets and, if treated improperly, will sign your soul away.

Fortunately, the bill will help keep these worries aside, and keep us out of trouble.

CART inadequate for most students Being in Norman without your own transportation isn’t easy. Unless you are one of the few living and working right off campus, getting a ride anywhere around town can be quite challenging.

Calling a taxi can take up to an hour, which hardly works for people on a busy schedule. Riding a bike is always a great option, that is, until you have to go grocery shopping, and horses are quickly going out of style.

While most cities have public transportation to help those who do not have their own car, Norman’s public DARA transportation system rarely provides MIRZAIE customers with adequate options.

Cleveland Area Rapid Transit, or CART, is in charge of the bus system in the Norman area. CART has five bus routes in Norman, three running in the Norman area, and two going to Oklahoma City and Moore. Each of the Norman routes takes about an hour for the bus to run the full route. Apartment complexes across the city also provide shuttles to and from campus.

CART runs from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The hours may seem to fit in a lot of people’s schedules, but many students in night classes can be left without a ride.

Last semester, I had a class that got out at 9:30 p.m., which meant I either had to find another mode of transportation home, or forget about taking the CART system altogether. I was lucky to have my own vehicle, but many college students are not.

Public transportation does not just have to be for those who do not have another way of getting around.

It provides customers with many advantages, you can save on gas money, keep unnecessary miles off your car so that your ’92 Corolla will keep running for another year, or my own personal favorite, use the bus ride to finish that homework you forgot to do before class.

Expanding public transportation in Norman would also help clear up congestion on the streets. We have all seen Lindsey Street back up for miles, and parking on campus might actually become a reasonable option for students if there is less cars taking up spots.

Running a few more bus routes and expanding hours would have huge benefits across Norman. Instead of simply taking the bus to and from campus, people could be able to take the bus to run their everyday errands, without worrying about if they would be able to get home or take two hours to pick up trash bags from Wal-Mart. Plus students should never have to be left on campus without the University providing some option to get them home.

Challenge your habitual ‘little white lies’ I couldn’t decide what to write about this week, so I decided to ask some of my friends. I received lots of unique suggestions, but one friend adamantly insisted that I tell the world her story.

Apparently, someone at the Civic Center lied to her about something or someone.

I’m sure you don’t want to hear about that, but it did get me thinking about honesty.

Most of us will let just about anything come out of our mouth without thinking and lying is no exception. I started keeping track of how often I told lies and I was very surprised. I have always thought myself to be an honest individual. I just tell little white lies every once in a while to be polite.

But as the week wore on, I realized that this is not the case. I lied about the dumbest and most important things – how I was feeling, if I was hungry, if I minded if someone smoked. On their own, these lies didn’t seem important, but when I stepped back and looked at the big picture,

I realized how dishonest I was being.

This week, I challenge you to do the same thing.

For one week, make a mental note every time you tell a lie, no matter how unimportant the lie seems. I suspect that you will be very surprised come next week.

So, we all lie to some extent, but why? To be sure, sometimes we lie to protect others.

We would never tell our significant other that their facial hair looks absolutely hideous, nor would we admit that yes, in fact, that dress does make you look fat. I don’t know if you can call these sorts of white lies “right,” but certainly, our society has grown to accept them.

Other lies, however, are done to protect ourselves: our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions. You see, honesty is more than just not telling lies, it’s also about disclosing the unadulterated truth. We have a tendency to obscure facts or simply speak vaguely in order to avoid showing people what’s really inside of us. There are things

we like to do, things we don’t like to do, and things we can’t live without that we refuse to tell our friends about.

We wrap ourselves in the fear that if our friends found out who we really were, they wouldn’t like us anymore, or perhaps they would think differently of us. But this disguising of the truth harms us more than we think. If we spend our whole lives trying to hide the fact that we actually love to play “Dungeons and Dragons,” we are robbing ourselves of meaningful relationships built on honesty and trust. It may be painful to admit these hidden truths about ourselves, but it is ultimately for the better.

I met one of my first college friends on the first day of college and he seemed like a cool, popular, easy-going ladies’ man.

These things aren’t entirely untrue, but I later found out that in addition to his cool demeanor, behind close doors, he is a complete Star Wars nut, and I don’t think lesser of him for that. In fact, I admire his honesty to the world—it takes a lot of guts

to admit that side of you.

The point is this: we all have secrets— little lies we tell ourselves and our friends every day—but while those secrets seem to be protecting us from the harshness of reality, they are actually devaluing our relationships and preventing us from friendships built on trust and honesty.

It sounds cliché, but you’ve got to be true to yourself, and that means being true to others as well. My second challenge for you this week is to disclose one of your “little secrets” to a friend. It doesn’t have to be anything ground breaking, just something you have kept from them because you were afraid of damaging that friendship. I think you’ll find that removing that burden of secrecy will make that bond between you and your friend even deeper.

Here, I’ll even go first: I love the J. Geils Band. Their music is upbeat, cheesy and 100 percent 80s, but I love it.

See, that wasn’t so bad.

OUDAILY.COM

Paris prepares for Monarchs premiere Transition to professional game has been difficult JAMES LOVETT The Oklahoma Daily

Former Sooner star Courtney Paris will make her WNBA debut Saturday when her Sacramento Monarchs take on the Seattle Storm in the season opener.

The former All-American and National Player of the Year was selected seventh by the Monarchs in April’s WNBA Draft. She averaged 27.4 points, 18.9 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2.5 assists during her senior season at OU, and recorded an NCAA record 112 doubledoubles.

Par is grew up attending Piedmont and Modesto Christian high schools in southern California, less than 100 miles away from the Monarchs’ arena.

Although she was considered the most dominant college player last year, Paris said she’s unsure how much action she’ll see in her professional debut.

“I don’t think I’ll start, but whenever I’m in there I’ll try to do the

best I can,” Paris said Tuesday from the Monarchs’ practice facility. “If we played our game today, I probably wouldn’t be ready for it.”

Paris said the speed of the professional game and the rapid transition from college to the WNBA has been hard to manage.

“It’s kind of the same transition coming from high school to college,” she said. “Only in college, you get there in the summer and meet all your teammates and lift and workout, and then you have a month of practice and start playing games. Here, you get here, start playing games and then your third week they start cutting people. It’s a big transition in a little amount of time. The speed of the game is also a lot faster because the shot clock’s only 24 seconds” Although she plans on settling down in California for the time being, Paris said she wouldn’t forget about her Oklahoma connections.

“I’d like to come back [to Oklahoma] as often as I can, but you never know when you’re gonna have a day off,” she said. “But, I have to come back cause my hair lady’s down there.”

SPORTS BRIEFS SZENDREI, NEAL TO RETURN TO LLOYD NOBLE Sooners men’s basketball head coach Jeff Capel said Wednesday that former OU players Jozsef Szendrei and Michael Neal have joined his staff.

“I told coach Capel when I interviewed that there might be more high-profile guys out there, but nobody would bring more pride and passion to the job than I would,” Szendrei said.

Szendrei, who played center for the Sooners from 2000-2003, is the program’s new strength and conditioning coach. Neal, who played as a guard from 2005-2007, is now a graduate assistant manager.

“I missed OU,” Neal said. “I missed being around the players. I missed being around the coaches. I missed the camaraderie. Professional ball isn’t what it’s like in college.”

Neal will spend two years in OU’s intercollegiate athletics administration graduate program.

BLAKE GRIFFIN AND ASHLEY PARIS RECEIVE AWARDS The Big 12 has named Oklahoma basketball players Blake Griffin and Ashley Paris as the conference’s 2008-09 Sportspersons of the Year.

The award recognizes student-athletes who display extraordinary levels of sportsmanship and community service. The winners are selected by a media panel and then nominated for the NCAA’s sportsmanship award.

Paris, a 6-foot-3 senior from Piedmont, Calif., averaged 12.6 points and 9.6 rebounds per game as the Sooners went 32-5 and lost in the national semifinals to Louisville. She actively participated in community service projects, including visits to hospitals and shelters.

Griffin, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Oklahoma City, was the consensus national player of the year as Oklahoma went 30-6 and reached a regional final in the NCAA tournament.

He routinely declined to retaliate after hard fouls, including one in which an opposing player flipped him over.

Serena Williams loses at French Open; Federer wins HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press

PARIS — Serena Williams, of all people, got a case of the jitters.

That was her explanation, anyway.

The 10-time Grand Slam champion kept finding herself in, then out of, trouble in the French Open quarterfinals Wednesday, until running out of stamina and strokes down the stretch of a 7-6 (3), 5-7, 7-5 loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova that ended Williams’ 18-match winning streak at major tournaments.

“I had an opportunity, and I got really tight, and I pretty much gave it to her,” said the second-seeded Williams, who blew a 3-1 lead in the third set. “It was like, ‘Here. Do you want to go to the semis? Because I don’t.’ She was like, ‘OK.’” The seventh-seeded Kuznetsova’s semifinal opponent Thursday is No. 30 Samantha Stosur of Australia, who defeated Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-1, 6-3. The other women’s semifinal is No. 1 Dinara Safina of Russia against No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia.

If Stosur-Cirstea was as one-sided as could be, Kuznetsova-Williams was hyper-competitive and superbly played. Until, at least, Kuznetsova (kooz-NETso-vah) took eight of the last nine points, breaking Williams in the final game.

“Honestly, I think I lost because of me,” Williams said, “and not because of anything she did.”

Williams denied she felt fatigued, blaming nerves instead.

How could that be?

“Maybe I put some expectations on myself that I didn’t put on myself initially,” she said.

Roger Federer spoke about dealing with nerves Wednesday, too, although his problems came before he began playing 11th-seeded Gael Monfils of France.

“We’re all nervous at this stage of the competition.

I felt it. Yesterday I felt it, and I felt it again today in the warm-up,” said Federer, who knows this might be his best chance to win the only Grand Slam tournament missing from his resume. “I was tired, I was nervous, and I didn’t feel really good. Then once out on court, you know, I get my act together.”

There’s an understatement.

Federer beat Monfils 7-6 (6), 6-2, 6-4 to close in on completing a career Grand Slam and earning a 14th major title to tie Pete Sampras’ career record.

Next up for Federer is No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, who eliminated No. 16 Tommy Robredo in straight sets. Friday’s other men’s semifinal will be No. 23 Robin Soderling — the man who upset four-time defending champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round — against No. 12 Fernando Gonzalez.

Federer is 26-1 against the other semifinalists, including 5-0 against del Potro.

“Doesn’t mean because I have a great record against all the players left in the draw that, you know, I’m going to win this,” Federer said, “but I’ll definitely try everything I possibly can to do it.”

He is into his 20th consecutive major semifinal, extending his own record; del Potro is in the first of his career.
