Office cleared out, locked upHUMAN TRAFFICKING
Student aims to educate youth on traffickingSooner promotes awareness among middle-school, high-school students
PAIGHTEN HARKINSAssistant Campus Editor
Middle and high school-aged children will receive an ed-ucation on human trafficking this semester and next year after an OU student won a $10,000 grant to promote a sus-tainable, peaceful future.
University College freshman Lucy Mahaffey was one out of about 100 people who received a Davis Projects for Peace grant about two weeks ago. Since hearing she’d received the grant, she’s been working with the state superintendent of education and state coalition director to develop a cur-riculum to teach teenage children about human trafficking, Mahaffey said.
Human trafficking cases have been prosecuted in all 50 states in the U.S., according to the Oklahomans Against Trafficking Humans website. So far, 83 percent of the pros-ecuted cases involved sex trafficking, and 17 percent in-volved labor trafficking.
While Mahaffey is planning to present at youth groups and high schools, her primary focus is on middle school-aged children because that age group is the most common to be sold into sex trafficking, she said.
“I felt like this could really empower the kids. I think that they’re really overlooked — they’re the most vulnerable, but they’re also the most powerful,” Mahaffey said.
After visiting one school, Santa Fe South High School in Oklahoma City, Mahaffey said the reception has been posi-tive, although it takes some time to explain to students what human trafficking is and why it’s an issue, she said.
Some children know about trafficking, but many have no idea it still exists, Mahaffey said.
She tries to relate to kids by focusing on trafficking through the lens of the Internet and smart Internet prac-tices, considering many instances of trafficking in the U.S. happen as a result of children being online, Mahaffey said.
About one-third of the estimated 30 million children on-line will go and meet a person they met online, she said. However, once they go and meet them, that person isn’t re-ally considered a stranger anymore.
“It’s the fact that these kids have known someone online for a year and then they say, ‘we’re friends so I’ll go meet them,’” Mahaffey said.
In her presentations, Mahaffey will stress the importance of only adding people you are familiar with, as well as not meeting in person people you only know online, she said. If

OU NROTC student to receive award of $1,000 based leadership ability
CEREMONY
The � rst recipient of an award recognizing an out-standing OU Naval Reserve Of� cer Training Corps mid-shipman is to be honored during a ceremony today.
Alan Tompkins, OU NROTC midshipman 2nd class, is to receive the � rst Captain Robert J. Kelsey Leadership Award during a ceremony at 3:30 p.m. at the universi-ty’s ROTC center.
Tompkins is a junior at OU and plans to commis-sion into the nuclear power program, according to a press release. Kelsey, who died in 1992 after a battle with cancer, was a Navy � ghter pilot during the war in Vietnam.
The award includes a $1,000 scholarship, said Kelsey’s brother-in-law, Ron Frost. The scholarship endowment was established by the Kelsey family and will be administered by the Oklahoma City Community Foundation.
“The award is based on leadership ability,” Frost said. “And, Tompkins is very deserving to have it in honor of Robert.”
Frost said Kelsey’s parents, wife and six of seven siblings will travel from around the country to attend the ceremony.

OU administration has cleared out and locked up the Students for a Democratic Society’s off ice in Oklahoma Memorial Union after dis-covering a person had been drinking alcohol and living in the office.
The administration removed items from the office that were “a nuisance and causing bulk” after they evict-ed the society last week, said Clarke Stroud, OU vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students. The door to the office has since been locked. The owners of any of the removed items will have to contact Laura Tontz, director of Oklahoma Memorial Union, to get their things back.
“We boxed [the items] up, and we
took pictures. Everybody’s going to get everything back — nobody’s losing anything,” Stroud said.
A notice currently is taped to the door of the office saying to contact the union’s Administrative Office to get into the office.
W h e n T h e D a i l y called the number on the notice to get access into the office and see what items had been removed, the call was transferred to Stroud’s office phone, but he was not in his office to take the call at that time.
On April 4, The Daily received a tip that someone had been drinking alco-hol and possibly living in the Students for a Democratic Society office, and after further investigation, that infor-mation was confirmed.
“The SDS office should never have been utilized in that manner,” Stroud said.
Since The Daily ran a story about the situation on April 9, OU adminis-tration has been checking the society’s office to reach the person who was liv-
ing there, Stroud said.The day after the
story ran, Tontz told The Daily in an email she had not had any r e p o r t s o f p e o p l e drinking in student or-ganization offices.
OU administration also has been trying to reach out to the so-
ciety’s leadership to find the person who was living in the office, but so far they have been unsuccessful, Stroud said.

Professor seeks to reveal true SpartaLECTURE
MATT RAVISCampus Reporter
The Spartans portrayed in popular culture are a far cry from the original protec-tors of Greece, said an OU professor in a lecture about Greek Liberty and Spartans on Monday.
Eric Robinson, professor and candidate for OU’s G.T. and Libby Blankenship Chair in the History of Liberty, gave the lecture to dismiss popu-lar misrepresentations of the Spartans, spurred on by re-cent Hollywood movies like “300.”
To get his point across, Robinson made volunteers from the crowd assume the role of Spartans and formed into the phalanx — an an-cient Greek combat forma-tion — and then coached them on how to better defeat the Persian enemy.
The formation was made popular by “300,” which d e p i c t e d t h e B a t t l e o f
Thermopylae, Robinson said.
The movie was realis-tic in the way it depicted Spartans, but the similarities stop there, Robinson said. The Persians, who opposed the Spartans in the Battle of Thermopylae, were unfair-ly depicted as slavish and oppressed.
Most people are familiar with the Hollywood depic-tion of Spartans as strong, heroic men, but it can also be argued they served as “cruel masters,” Robinson said.
The slave population of Sparta, called Helots, out-numbered Sparta’s popula-tion by 7:1. Because of this, the Greek government de-clared war on the Helots, effectively allowing the Spartans to murder them with no social or legal reper-cussions, Robinson said.
The Spartans, who were raised to be tough and re-sourceful from a young age, toed the line between the heroes Hollywood has made them into and the cruel, vengeful people some
scholars argue them to be, Robinson said.
Robinson is a candidate for the chair position that Rufus Fears held before his death in October of 2012, vice provost Kyle Harper said.

TRAFFICKING: ‘Slavery issue of vulnerability’Continued from page 1
ANNALISA MANNING/THE DAILY
Lucy Mahaffey, University College freshman, recently received a $10,000 grant to inform schoolchildren about human trafficking.
you have to meet with some-one, don’t go alone, she said.
Mahaffey said she plans to go to schools and youth groups statewide with her grant money. Before the end of the semester, she and her team of volunteers plan to travel to seven or eight more schools in Oklahoma to present, including some in Shawnee, Pawnee, Chandler and others.
To Mahaffey, one of the most important ways to end the prevalence of trafficking is by making people aware of it. That’s why during her presentations, she’s going to encourage students to have fundraisers for groups against human trafficking or draw chalk art to raise aware-ness, she said.
One of the issues facing the discussion of trafficking right now is it’s almost taboo — or at least comes coated with negative connotations — and some parents or school administrators aren’t com-fortable discussing traffick-ing with children.
“I think it’s really sad that parents don’t want to have these conversations with their kids … You need to be having those conversations,” said John Putnam, public re-lations and human relations junior, who is working with Mahaffey.
While 13 is the most com-mon age for children traf-ficked in the U.S., being forced into slavery can hap-pen to anyone, Mahaffey said.
“Slavery today, modern day slavery, is not an issue of race, chains or gender. It’s an issue of vulnerability. Any

social class and gender in any country can be vulnerable,” she said.
Right now Mahaffey has a core group of four or five other students helping her with the presentations. As well, she has around 80 vol-unteers interested in the cause, she said.
However, while Mahaffey
was the one who received the grant, that’s not the core of the matter, Putnam said. The focus is on human trafficking and making sure people are aware.
“It’s about the issues,” he said.

One of the most important documents explaining and defending civil disobedi-ence and civil rights will be read aloud and discussed from 1:30 to 3 p.m. today in Bizzell Memorial Library’s Boorstin Collection Room.
The “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” written by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963, will be read in honor of the 50th anniver-sary of the document and of the protest to which it spoke, history professor Ben Keppel said. This event is one of 207 taking place throughout the country, coor-dinated by the Birmingham Public Library in Alabama.
After the reading, there will be a discus-sion about why this letter is still important 50 years later and if all the things King worked for have been accomplished,
Keppel said.“I hope students understand that
even though Martin Luther King [Jr.] has been dead for 45 years he is still very relevant in our society. We as a society still have a lot of work to do to combat racism as well as economic equality. It’s not just about race,” he said.
Both the reading and discussion are open to the public, Keppel said. The nine-page letter will be split into 18 parts with 18 different readers, eight of which have already been chosen and the rest of which will be pulled from the audience.

SGA has control over how the offices are used, but the university has an overriding obligation to make sure the offices are safe, secure and sanitary, Stroud said.
“With the condition of the office we had to do some-thing,” Stroud said. “…We had to get the place cleaned up.”

“He hasn’t been there as far as we can tell in quite some time, and we’ve got resources for him,” Stroud said. “We’re prepared to do whatever we can to help him, but we can’t locate him.”
OU Student Life direc-tor Kristen Partridge told The Daily on April 8, it’s the Student Government Association president’s re-sponsibility to take action if a student organization is misusing an office in the Conoco Student Leadership Wing of the union, where t h e s o c i e t y ’s o f f i c e i s located.
Administration will get involved if students are participating in illegal ac-tions in the office or actions prohibited by the Student Conduct Code, Partridge said.

Our view: Students should participate in year-round service.
The Big Event on Saturday was a great opportunity for students to show the civ-ic-minded spirit we try so hard to foster at OU but it is only one day. Students should capitalize on the success and enthusiasm of the Big Event to make service a regular part of their lives.
It says volumes about our student lead-ers that The Student Government Association puts so much time and effort into organizing students to reach out to schools, parks and other areas in need of cleaning, service and volunteers. This year, 5,347 students volunteered — that’s over 10,600 pairs of hands pulling weeds, building greenhouses and performing other needed tasks in Norman and Oklahoma City.
To be eligible, a non-profit organization must apply for volunteers. Most organizations are schools, food pantries, hospices, parks and church-
es. SGA also provides materials for some projects like the greenhouse at Roosevelt Elementary school.
The impact of a one-day community ser-vice event is certainly felt throughout the community, but the real benefit of the Big Event is in fostering a civic attitude in stu-dents who may have never participated in a
community service project before.Students can then use their newly gained service
inspiration to help out elderly neighbors by sweep-ing off their driveways or bringing in their papers on a cold day. These small acts of service are the defini-tion of community.
Greek organizations exemplify this spirit. There was a large greek presence at the Big Event but it is
only one of the many service projects fraternities and sororities engage in throughout the year. We should all follow suit.
Other than helping your neighbor, you can partic-ipate in many of the extremely important projects in Norman and Oklahoma City addressing hunger, poverty and other social issues. You can find a list of over 100 deserving organizations on newsok.com.
The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is a good place to start. Students interested in helping alleviate hunger in Oklahoma can simply sign up to attend one of dozens of shifts to help pack food, garden or distribute food to community members in need. Whatever you choose to do, we hope Big Event was the beginning, not the end, of students’ service this year.

Please stop calling Plan B One-Step an “abortion pill.” It is not an abortion pill. It is a form of contraception.
There is an abortion pill, and Plan B is not it. The following is a comparison of the two medications:
April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. There
are many ways students can help prevent animal abuse in everyday eating. Although moral outrage is often met in response to re-ports and pictures of abused cats and dogs, little outrage is met in regards to the mis-treatment of chickens, pigs and cows.
Most people would never intentionally abuse a cat or dog; however, many people do indirectly fund the mistreat-ment of animals as practiced on factory farms by purchas-ing meat.
Within the past two years, undercover animal rights ac-tivists have taped the mistreatment of animals on factory farms. The videos reveal the burning of horses’ ankles, the use of piglets to play catch and burning the beaks of young chicks. In an attempt to thwart further documentation, 12 legislatures have proposed or enacted bills that would make it illegal to tape animal abuse on factory farms.
In spirit of these findings, the following is a compiled list of five reasons students should adopt a vegetarian diet.
1. Vegetarians live longer, healthier lives. An appro-priate vegetarian diet consisting of vegetables, fruits and whole grains can help prevent cardiovascular disease, according to Harvard Health Publications. In a study con-sisting of 76,000 participants, vegetarians were 25 per-cent less likely to die of heart disease in comparison to non-vegetarians.
2. A vegetarian diet is humane. Each year, an estimated nine billion animals are gratuitously slaughtered due to the likings of our palates, according to the Humane Society of the United States. As described earlier, the mistreatment of animals on factory farms is morally reprehensible. In re-sponse, compassionate people everywhere are adopting a vegetarian diet in order to reduce the demand for meat.
3. Vegetarians avoid noxious chemicals. 95 percent of pesticide residue in the American diet is found in meat, fish and dairy products, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Pesticides have a direct link to birth de-fects, nerve damage, cancer and other health problems.
4. A vegetarian diet is environmentally friendly. The 2 billion tons of manure produced on factory farms each year is one of the country’s top 10 pollutants, the agency re-ports. This excludes methane gases produced by cows — a chemical directly linked to the greenhouse effect.
5. A vegetarian diet helps counter the effects of aging. It’s a disturbing fact that many cosmetic companies that produce anti-wrinkle creams participate in animal exper-imentation. A vegetarian diet is full of vitamins and min-erals that can help skin maintain a natural, youthful glow without resulting to cosmetics.
A vegetarian diet speaks volumes. This list illustrates the benefits of a vegetarian diet at both a personal and envi-ronmental level. It is important to recognize we too are an animal dependent upon the web of nature and to act ac-cordingly with this fact in mind. In short, our body reflects our diet, and our diet reflects our morals.

The year ahead could bring about growth in your material hopes and expectations. Several advantageous opportunities could develop in unexpected quarters.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- To achieve some of your bigger objec-tives, you might have to do things in a circuitous way. Just be sure not to charge into walls, hoping they will crumble on impact.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Argumentative individuals will frustrate you, but the solution is obvious. Don’t involve yourself with companions who overreact to a difference of opinions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take nothing for granted in both your commercial and personal dealings. If you play things too loose, you might think you have an agreement, when all you’ve got is a maybe.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- To get along well with someone who is pertinent to your plans, it might be necessary for you to make some concessions. Failing to do so could bring things to a halt.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When sharing a job with others, be sure that no one person has more work to do than the others. Each must do his or her share.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be prepared to operate on your own if it becomes necessary. A friend
upon whom you can usually depend might let you down.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be a good sport and pick up all the piec-es after someone’s temper tantrum. This person needs to be consoled, not chastised.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s rarely a good idea to get angry with someone just because he or she disagrees with you. It’s important to keep an open mind and a forgiving heart.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Guard against inclinations to suddenly change course, especially when your goal is within reach. A shift in direction will do nothing except take you off track.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you are not successful, it isn’t due to a lack of good ideas. Although your imagination is excellent, your implementation might not be.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful that you do not trip over your own shoelaces. The only obstacles in your path are the ones you put there yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If it’s up to you to make plans for a get-together with friends, give thought to who is involved. Don’t invite anyone who hasn’t been getting along with everyone else.

I found bandages, nail polish, pil-lows, coffee mugs, posters, buttons, books, bikini bottoms, iPhone cases and lots and lots of t-shirts, all ex-tolling the virtues of a hairy upper lip. For men and women, babies and bros alike, the mustache was everywhere.
I found slogans on t-shirts that read, ‘I mustache you a question but I’ll shave it for later,’ and ‘My other face has a mustache.’ Perhaps my favorite was ‘With great moustache comes great responsibility.’
Where did all this mustache come from? Turns out the trend is a few years old but hasn’t lost steam since its origins in hipster culture.
Originally meant as an ironic state-ment about manliness and beauty, the mustache has become a versatile symbol that can mean as much or as little as the wearer intends.
While only the truly retro chic can wear an actual mustache these days, often styling it to evoke the flamboy-ant Salvador Dali, the clothes-stache is an easy way to pay homage to the classic look without actually commit-ting to it.

Iron &WineWith the release of “Kiss
Each Other Clean” in 2010, Sam Beam
of Iron & Wine seemed to have found and settled into his music niche. As Iron & Wine’s fourth album, “Kiss Each Other Clean” offered listeners all the calming folk-bliss of previous albums while weaving a
weightier rock sound throughout the tapestry of the album’s tracks that, although subtle, made all the difference in the world.
I thought Iron & Wine finally had ar-rived with its last album, but apparently Beam felt like his sound was still “far from home.”
“Ghost On Ghost,” released today, maintains the soothing, muffled sounds of Iron & Wine’s previous albums, but replaces “Kiss Each Other Clean’s” rock vibes with an entirely different kind of flare: jazz.
And quite frankly, I wasn’t impressed by Iron & Wine’s “new” sound on first lis-ten. “Ghost On Ghost” lacks the gripping grit of “Kiss Each Other Clean’s” “Walking Far From Home” and “Rabbit Will Run,” and attempts to make up for it in incessant percus-sion — perhaps best described as a fast-paced tinny sound — that only seems to clash with the muted vocals and jazzy instrumentation.
I had hoped Iron & Wine’s performance at OU on Saturday would win me over to its new sound. In one sense, I wasn’t disappointed. Beam stood on stage accompanied only by his glorious beard and acoustic guitar, wooing everyone present with a voice even more beautiful live than recorded. In this setting, new tunes like “Low Light Buddy Of Mine” and “Winter Prayers” were able to fully shine, free of additional sounds and thus allowing Beam’s untouched voice to be the focal point.
In another sense, however, the Must Stay concert failed to per-suade me. While it convinced me I love Iron & Wine just as much as ever, the new songs weren’t performed as they were recorded. And though I enjoyed them live, that’s not what I’m purchasing when I buy “Ghost On Ghost.”
Not only does “Ghost On Ghost” lack the edginess of “Kiss Each Other Clean,” but it also fails to highlight the singer-song-writer elements at the heart of older songs such as “The Trapeze

I was looking around online last week when I stumbled across a curious piece of head-
gear. Generally speaking, the hats of anonymous minor league baseball teams don’t do much for me, but the Lexington Legends were different: their cap logo was a mustache. I wanted it right away.
The obvious question of course was why. What was it about this green, mus-tachioed cap that screamed ultra-hip and desirable? I decided to do a quick survey.
“Lars,” I said, turning to my room-mate, “do you have any clothes with a mustache on them?”
He gave me a strange look and shook his head. So ended my survey.
If not for his judgmental glance, I might have mentioned I myself had mustache-patterned socks sitting in my drawer at that very moment. And though Lars wasn’t on board, a quick online search told me I wasn’t the only guilty party in the mustache fad.

One student, along with the help of World Literature Today and Women’s Outreach Center, is hosting a lit-erature contest that focuses on civil rights and social justices.
Shaina Thomas, an African/African-American studies and sociology senior, is hosting the contest for one of her class projects, she said.
Submissions can include poetry, essays, speeches, the abstracts of research papers and short stories, Thomas said.
While she has five submissions right now, Thomas de-cided to extend the deadline to Thursday, she said.
“I felt like the deadline was too close,” Thomas said. “It was a week right after spring break and what I did was extend it and make it a little more specific to the topics we’ve learned in class.”
While submissions can include any type of human rights issue, including but not limited to race and eth-nicity, women’s conflicts, GLBTQ and gender issues, she believes the African/African-American studies program at OU was a driving factor in her choice to hold the con-test, Thomas said.
All submitters will have the opportunity to perform their works at 5 p.m. Friday at the Henderson Tolson Cultural Center, as well as receive a booklet of their col-lective works, Thomas said.
Second and third place winners will receive a cer-tificate, writer’s packet and a copy of the latest World Literature Today issue. First place winners will receive a personalized plaque and a year’s subscription to World Literature Today, in addition to the other prizes, Thomas said.

Swinger” (Around The Well, 2009) and “Flightless Bird, American Mouth” (The Shepherd’s Dog, 2007).
That being said, I think the album is worth listening to. Tracks like “Grass Widows,” “Sundown (Back In Briars)” and “Winter Prayers” — in other words, the middle portion of the album — softened the blow of the new jazz elements that were so jarring when listening to the first few songs.
And if the idea of Iron & Wine laced with jazz appeals to you, then you should definitely get the album. Perhaps even I would have enjoyed the new sound had I been ex-pecting it.

man’s facial palette. The last presi-dent with a mustache was William Howard Taft; politicians since then have avoided facial hair in an effort to appear more trustworthy.
Since then, the mustache has be-longed only to the brave, the initiated and the rebellious — until now.
We’ll call it the commercialization of the mustache, or the mustache for the masses.
For many, I suspect the mustache renaissance is an assertion of manli-ness, an attempt to remind the ladies that while we may not have testoster-one spewing forth from our faces, we can still change a flat, win a fight and sweep them off their feet.
Perhaps the female attraction to the trend
means they’re looking for a man who can do just that. It also
could mean, however, that the
woman feels capa-ble of handling all that
herself. More than ‘wearing the pants’ at home or in the office, the woman is trying to wear the mustache too. It’s a statement about the gender gap in in-come, domestic abuse, gender roles and social norms.
Or I could be over-analyzing. I feel very sporting and dashing every time I wear my special mustachioed socks. Do I really need another reason?

After dropping two-of-three against Baylor to mark the team’s first series loss in conference play this season, the No. 11 Oklahoma base-ball team looks to bounce back against Arkansas-Little Rock in a double-header starting at 3 today at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
The Sooners (28-8, 8-4 Big 12) are playing a dou-ble-header because they needed to replace the rained out game against Oklahoma State on April 2 to complete their 56-game schedule. OU and the Trojans’ already had a single game scheduled for today, so the two teams de-cided to add a second game to today’s slate.
“ W e ’ r e a b l e t o p l a y Arkansas-Little Rock to try to stay with a (Division-I) schedule,” coach Sunny Golloway said. “So being able to find a game is helpful so we can play our true 56-game schedule against D-I competition.”
OU will be playing its first home series this month and first midweek game in three weeks, and it comes back to a place it has been success-ful at in 2013.
The Sooners have a 20-2 home record this season while outscoring their op-ponents 149-72 in those 22 games. Their only two loss-es at home came against Pepperdine, 7-2, on March 1 and Kansas, 10-8, on March 30.

OUto play double-header to make up cancelled game
In OU’s 20 wins at L. Dale Mitchell Park — a place that usually gets the strong Oklahoma wind blowing out toward left field — the pitching staff has held oppo-nents to less than four runs 14 times while accumulat-ing two shutouts. Also, the Sooners have had six of their seven walk-off victories within their friendly home confines.
And OU will be playing a team it has been successful against the last few seasons.
Since 2009, the Sooners have a 5-1 record while outscoring Arkansas-Little Rock 54-30. But the last time these two teams met — in 2011 — the Trojans got the best of Golloway’s club with a 7-0 win to end OU’s 16-game win streak to start the season.
After that loss — when the Sooners were the sec-ond-ranked team in the na-tion — they went on to go 25-18 with an early exit from that year’s postseason.
Like that 2011 ser ies, Arkansas-Little Rock enters this double-header with a sub-.500 record — it has a

Junior pitcher Dillon Overton was named the Big 12’s Pitcher of the Week on Monday follow-ing Saturday’s perfor-mance against Baylor in Waco.
This is the sec-ond time the lefty captain has been honored with the award. He last earned the award Feb. 18 after allowing one unearned run on two hits while striking out seven batters over seven innings in the season opener against Hoftstra.
Overton threw eight innings of six-hit ball while allowing one run in Saturday’s victory, improving his season record to 7-2. His seven wins is the most of any Big 12 pitcher in 2013.
He struck out eight batters and walked two Bears to help improve OU to 8-4 in conference play.
This is the fifth time an OU pitcher has earned this award this season. Junior pitcher Jonathan Gray has been named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week three times, the last time coming April 1 after his third straight nine-inning, 12-strikeout perfromance.
Overton will make his next start against New Orleans at 2 p.m. at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
