OPEN HOUSE

Campus Activities Council hosts open house for students

MOLLY EVANSAssistant Campus Editor

Students interested in getting involved with Campus Activities Council, the event planning branch of OU’s Student Government Association, should attend open house Wednesday.

All students can come to meet this year’s event chairs for each committee, which range from University Sing to Film Series to Homecoming, said KatieBeth Gardner, public relations chair.

The open house will begin at 7 p.m. in the Jim Thorpe Multicultural Center, Gardner said.

The hour-long session will have students breaking into different groups, according to the committee that interests them, so they learn more about what goes into planning certain events, Gardner said.

Gardner made a connection with the council’s program, Sooner Scandals, an annual Broadway-style performance showcase among greek and non-greek student organizations, after attending the open house her freshman year, she said.

“This is where people really first come to get in-volved in CAC,” Gardner said.

The open house not only benefits interested students but also event chairs by putting faces to all the CAC applicants through one-on-one inter-actions, Gardner said.

“That chair is not just somebody who sits in an ivory tower,” Gardner said. “It’s somebody who’s [the student’s] friend and somebody to be their contact.”

For those who cannot make the open house, applications for the various committees with their corresponding deadlines are available on the CAC website.

Students interested in joining CAC should attend open house

PRIDE CONTROVERSY

‘It’s for everyone after me’

CHRIS JAMES/THE DAILY

Drum major Logan Stalcup, college of fine arts senior, drags his feet down the field as he leads the Pride of Oklahoma before the game.

In the meeting, Boren assured Pride members that any frustrations they felt after their performance Saturday were not matched by their fans, said Blaxton, botany senior. He told them to give Stolarik time to implement the changes he’s made to the performance.

Blaxton said he doesn’t feel comfortable with the band’s performance be-cause members are not being given proper instruc-tion or feedback to help them adapt to the changes.

“We’re just being told that what we’re doing is good and that we’re just going to do it again and make it better — there’s no how to make it better,” he said.

After Saturday’s performance, Pride members met and compiled a list of issues to address to Stolarik, said Allen Blaxton,

Pride alumnus and Isaac’s father. The list included the director improving commu-nication with members and staff, voicing more detailed feedback about what they’re

doing wrong in practice and including more Pride mem-bers in performances.

L e a v i n g t h e m e e t -ing, Isaac described how he fel t af ter Saturday’s performance.

“I’ve been in Pride for four years, and the way I felt on Saturday is not a feel-ing I’ve ever felt after any performance,” he said. “It’s just not something that I’m used to — being uncom-fortable in the group with what I’m performing.”

Responses to the band’s changes this year are divided among members.

Members of OU’s Pride of Oklahoma marching band were called into President David Boren’s office Tuesday after over a hundred members confronted their director with concerns after their first performance.

Pride’s leadership team and seniors were asked to meet in Boren’s office after addressing their director, Justin Stolarik, on Monday about issues they have with recent changes made to the band, said melophone player Isaac Blaxton.

PriDe: Band alumni unhappy with new directorContinued from page 1

NOTABLE SPEAKER

Sports journalist comes to Gaylord for discussion

A nationally known sports journalist and oU alumnus will discuss the future of the college foot-ball postseason at 3 p.m. saturday in the Gaylord College of Journalism and mass Communication auditorium.

Bill Hancock, execu-tive director of the Bowl Championship series, will talk about the BCs legacy and explain the new play-off system, the College Football playoff, which begins next year, Gaylord College spokeswoman Celia perkins said.

the BCs is a polling system that configures bowl game match-ups among the top ranked college teams, and the

new system will take effect in the 2014-2015 season, according to the College Football playoff website.

Hancock is the first exec-utive director for the new playoff system in addition to the BCs and he was the first director for the nCAA Final Four, perkins said.

As a 1972 Gaylord College alumnus, Hancock will visit in part to commem-orate the college’s centen-nial celebrating 100 years of excellence in journalism education at oU, perkins said.

the free and open to the public event will precede saturday’s football game against West Virginia University.

the talk will also be streamed live on the col-lege’s website.

playing trumpet for Pride.After Saturday’s game,

Pride alumni posted on the Pride of Oklahoma Band Alumni Facebook page con-cerns about changes to the performance they saw.

“The band alumni page was turning into a fist fight, because there’s a very clear battle line that’s been drawn between people who say they’re going to back who-ever the director is, and then there’s people who are like ‘that’s bullshit we’re not going to do that — it’s wrong’,” said Pride alumnus Nick Nicholson.

The page has been made into a closed group acces-sible only to alumni, be-cause officers of the Alumni Association decided the on-line conversation was “too raw and candid to be read by current students and people outside of the Pride alumni,” Lemons said.

“We did not want the cur-rent members of the Pride to see alumni members arguing and fighting over what’s going on,” Nicholson said. “They don’t need to see that, and they do not need to be influenced by that.”

D espite the changes, Blaxton said nothing is worth sacrificing the band’s performance altogether.

“I don’t ever want there to not be a band at a football game or anything like that,” Blaxton said. “I don’t just want to give up on what our mission as a band is.”

The Daily was unable to reach Boren for comment after the meeting.

Arianna Pickard aripickard@ou.edu

“There are people that are just very gung-ho about the changes and say we just need to support him and go forward, and there are others on the complete op-posite end,” he said. “I’m somewhere in the middle. I think some of the changes are good — some of them are bad.”

Blaxton said he’s most-ly worried about freshmen performers who might not get the same experience he had over the last three years.

“I just want everyone else after me to have the same experience as I had,” he said. “I had three awesome years in Pride up until this year.”

One of the changes made to the band this year was to decrease the number of freshmen members on the field.

F r e s h m a n t r o m b o n e player Jody King said he was upset about not being able to march on Saturday. He said he chose to come to OU when he could’ve played for North Carolina, and now he doesn’t feel like he’s going to get the same quality of experience.

“[Freshmen] are who I’m fighting for,” Blaxton said. “It’s not for me — it’s for ev-eryone after me.”

M e m b e r s a l s o w a n t-ed OU’s original pregame p e r f o r ma n c e b a ck , b e -cause they’re concerned the current performance matches the University of Wisconsin’s, he said.

Pr ide alumnus Just in Brown sent The Daily still frames comparing the new Pride pregame drill with the University of Wisconsin pregame, and the two look identical.

“Frustrating to see OU copying other universities rather than setting the stan-dard for others,” said Brown, who graduated in 1996 after spending four years on the Pride drumline.

P r i d e a l u m n u s R y a n L e m o n s a g r e e d t h a t t h e p re g a m e s h o w h a s been changed to mimic Wisconsin’s.

Our view: We encourage students to return their parking permits and get their full refund while they can in an effort to stimulate OU’s momentum to solve our campus’s parking issues.

It’s no secret to anyone who parks on campus; the parking situation is ridic-ulous. Students, professors and visitors struggle to find a parking spot some-where on campus on a daily basis.

You can’t just park anywhere you want. Campus parking spots require a specific parking per-mit, varying from commuter parking permits and OU hous-ing permits to faculty/staff permits and evening permits.

Our university attempts to convince students that pur-chasing a parking permit will save us time and help us avoid the rush. It doesn’t. Every morning, our campus is flooded with drivers search-ing for an available parking spot.

We could sit here and complain about how the school and surround-ing proximities poorly prepared for the increase in student drivers over the past few years, but that won’t get us anywhere. We need to analyze the situation and call for more immediate action from our university to find a parking solution.

OU has 15,035 parking spaces avail-able on campus. That sounds like a lot, and yet the majority of us always seem to have a difficult time finding an available parking spot. One explana-tion could be the number of parking

permits distributed. As of Aug. 29, 14,035 parking permits had been is-sued out to people inclined to park on campus this fall.

Let’s break that number down. Of the 14,035 already distributed, 4,426 are for faculty/staff, 6,020 are commut-er permits, 2,371 are housing, 262 are priority housing, 219 are Headington hall, 359 evening, and 378 commuter law permits.

According to these numbers, there are 1,000 parking spots avail-able on a daily basis for the remaining parking permit owners. If there are that many unoccupied, why are so many students consistently chal-lenged to find a spot?

We found out how many OU parking spots are reserved for each type of permit so you can calculate how many available spots there may be for you, depending on which cate-gory you fall into.

There are 2,163 faculty/staff parking spots, 1,029 commuter, 319 commuter law, 566 faculty/staff and commut-er, 945 housing, 314 priority housing, 228 Headington Hall housing, 7,212 multi-purpose, 310 reserved, 26 fac-ulty-in-residence, and 1,543 research campus. There are 380 additional spaces for physical disability parking. [Information provided by OU Parking and Transportation Services.]

OU Parking and Transportation Services Marketing Specialist Vicky Holland suggests students not buy a parking permit but take the shuttle at

As a super senior, I have had a lot of time to learn

— and I’m not just refer-ring to my studies. I am talking about all the great deals around Norman! Be wary though; while taking advantage of those deals, you are bound to commit a parking infraction if you own a car.

The biggest parking obstacle is game days, when park-ing infractions are most common, according to Norman transportation engineer Angelo Lombardo.

He cautioned me to avoid parking in places that block a driveway, are within 30 feet of an intersection, along yel-low curbs or on any unpaved surface. It is illegal to park at these places, and if Parking Enforcement cannot reach you, you could be cited or your vehicle will be towed de-pending on the situation.

I had not considered the problems that present them-selves via civic communications until I was once placed in a troubling situation.

McNellie’s Abner Ale House: home of the $3 burger on Wednesdays. When my schedule allows, you will find me upstairs enjoying a burger and a choice beverage or three. There I was, full from burgers and brew when my group decided to leave my car in favor of a safer, bipedal route home.

“Good call, Jared,” I congratulated my-self. “You are helping keep the roads safe, tonight.”

Then I saw a sign; a divine message from the City of Norman that read, “No Parking, 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.”

Woe was I! “Entrapment,” I proclaimed. “Racketeering if ever I saw it!” The anarchist-libertarian inside me, channeling William Wallace and Ron Paul yelled, “Freedom!”

Of course, I dramatize, but you see my dilemma. My group was forced to make a tough decision. Either leave the car or allow the least drunk, or most sober, per-son to drive to a less restrictive parking space. I will let you guess as to what we did, but afterward, we walked home, dreaming of a day free from the tyranny of parking authority.

It turns out that the regulation in place on Main St. is in place to allow for easier street cleaning, according to Lombardo. Cars will not be towed overnight, but leaving your car in the no-parking zone will make the city’s job more difficult.

I strongly support facilitating the betterment of our en-vironment, but we need to communicate these policies more effectively in a manner that does not force law-con-scious citizens into a difficult and potentially dangerous situation.

The parking signs carry a culturally ingrained fear of civic punishment. Due to a miscommunication, we had to decide whether to risk the cost of a ticket the next day or tipsily drive around the block.

I think we can better communicate as a community, but my initial judgments of a parking authority that tick-ets and tows for more income were off base.

Lombardo said the city has averaged $90,000 a year from parking, and after paying for enforcement, upkeep of meters and other necessary costs, the city essentially breaks even.

He added that with the new meter rates around Campus Corner and the courthouse, the parking revenue is expected to rise around $150,000 and $200,000. Any surplus would be delegated over by the city council.

“They are a necessary evil,” Lombardo said of the parking meters and regulations. “The purpose is to force turnover.”

This allows more customers to have ac-cess to local businesses. It is good for our community, and if you need to leave your car after a night of debauchery on Main St., you can do so while staying out of the city’s way.

“There are lots of niche parking places where they won’t mess with you,” said McNellie’s manager Emily White, refer-encing parking spaces on Peters St. and by the Sooner Theatre.

My unique situation and countless hy-pothetical ones highlight problems that arise when a city and its citizens do not

communicate effectively. Signs like the ones on Main St. should be more visible and prevalent.

It is up to us to be aware, but that does not mean the city should not try to make it easier for us to be. If you agree that civic communication is an issue our community should take seriously, write your city council represen-tative and cite this situation or other scenarios similar to it. Together, we can build an inclusive and informed community.

The parking issue on our campus is starting to drive

me crazy.A commuter parking

pass cost me $195 for the school year. I thought it was going to be worth every penny, but as we enter our third week of school, I’m debating whether or not it’s even worth a dime.

Unless I want to take a chance and hope a car mi-raculously deserts its sacred spot, I need to get to the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium parking garage by 8:45 a.m. to snag a remaining spot. The parking permit isn’t beneficial.

Another problem is the abundant amount of parking tickets issued out everyday. When I drive up and down the parking garage, I almost always spot a ticket-distributor. They patrol the garage, scoping out the next unfortunate commuter to give a ticket to.

The other day, I had to park at a parking meter because I had driven around parts of campus for 30 minutes trying to find a commuter parking spot. I put enough change in the meter to cover me for 1.5 hours and came back to my spot two minutes after the meter time was up. I didn’t no-tice the little yellow envelope resting under my windshield wiper.

As I backed out of the parking spot, the nearby ticket disputer told me to put my window down. When he hand-ed me the ticket, I asked, “I have a ticket, even though I paid for the last hour & a half?”

He dryly informed me that I couldn’t dispute it because, technically, he was at my car when the meter reached zero minutes. I may sound skeptical, but I’m becoming convinced that they literally walk around and wait by the meters to distribute tickets. At this point, it’s tempting to just park somewhere and leave one of my collected yellow envelopes under the windshield wiper all day.

Parking at the Lloyd Noble center may be my best bet in avoiding being a participant in the parking spot scavenger hunt or receiving parking tickets. The entire parking issue is a disappointment.

To OU and the ticket patrols, give us a break. It’s enough that we have to pay a fee for the parking permit, don’t pettily penalize us. It’s not our fault the parking system is flawed.

campus parking needs to accommodate studentsLloyd Noble instead.

“The shuttle runs from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m.,” Holland said. She explained that the service is free to students and that the buses are a great option for students because a bus shows up every 5-10 minutes. Holland said OU plans to expand the bus service and also plans to create more parking towards the south-end of campus in the future.

As for what students who already purchased a parking permit should do, Holland recommended students re-turn them and get their money back.

“We will refund students,” Holland said. “Full refunds for parking permits

are available until Sept. 15.”It’s great that we can be refunded

the money we originally spent on per-mits, but it doesn’t solve the overall parking issue and the inconvenience it causes. Would limiting the number of parking permits sold be a decent solution? Should students take it upon themselves to organize more carpool-ing systems? Maybe permits should be distributed in accordance to students’ proximity to campus. We don’t have the answer, but we ask the OU com-munity to come up with one soon.

Talk of a new parking garage in the future is in circulation, though that won’t fix the current problem at hand. We doubt increasing the permit fees will appeal to the masses, but students resorting to park at Lloyd Noble might just be the best solution at the present time.

If we follow Holland’s advice and catch the shuttle more often, OU should make sure the lighting and sidewalk conditions to and from the Lloyd Noble center are up to par in the event a student stays on campus beyond the shuttle’s operating hours. This way, students can safely return to their vehicles at night.

If you have thoughts on the matter or care to share ideas to improve our campus’ parking issue, continue the discussion online and contact OU parking Services.

Mornings can be stressful, and here in college land, who has time for

breakfast when you’re already struggling to let go of the snooze button?

Planning ahead can help, and these pre-made breakfast sandwiches

are a quick alternative to settling for just a granola bar to get you going. I decided to put

my own vegetarian twist on the recipe found on a blog called “Undressed Skeleton,”

that’s full of great ideas for healthy snacks.

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Scramble eggs in a medium sized bowl, mixing the diced bell pepper in at the end. I only used the egg whites out of personal preference, but including the yolk won’t change a thing in the cooking process.

Evenly divide the scrambled egg mix into six of the spaces in your muffin pan, filling them about 1/3 of the way. Sprinkle pepper on top before putting in the oven to add some spice.

Place the filled muffin pan into the oven for 10 minutes or until the egg becomes firm and golden around the edges.

Set the muffin pan aside to cool.

Warm up the English muffins by putting them in the toaster or placing the whole breakfast sandwich on an indoor grill or skillet.

Once the egg and cheese have been added to your sandwich, it’s time to wrap them up. You can use wax paper and tape or put your sandwiches in Ziplock bags.

ingredients

4 eggs

Provolone cheese slices

1/2 green bell pepper, diced

Whole grain English muffins

Wax paper

Tape

It’s early, you’re hungry and you only have about five minutes before you’ve got to be out the door. But wait, you definitely have frozen breakfast sandwiches that are just seconds away from satisfying that morning hunger.

After freezing, these grab-and-go sandwiches can be heated up in the microwave for about 60 seconds on high, turning your sandwich over at the 30 second mark. Wrap in a paper towel to keep moisture in while reheating, and you’ve got breakfast ready to go.

Once you’ve mastered planning ahead for breakfast, you can really get creative with what you put in them. Add bacon, other veggies or a different kind of cheese depend-ing on your taste in early morning meals.

If you spent any time on the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s first floor this past week and heard a wonderful melody coming from the cafeteria, it was probably the musical styling of participants in the Union Programming Board’s “Mid-Day Music” program. Volunteers offer their musical talents and time to make use of the piano located on the first floor.

Here’s a little taste of what Tom White, a piano performance and piano pedagogy doctoral stu-dent, does and why he does it:

: What made you want to participate in Mid Day Music?

: I got involved with Mid Day Music last year when I played as a fundraiser for the Music

Teachers National Association collegiate chapter at OU. This year, I decided to do it on my own just for fun.

: Did you select your own music, and what made you choose that particular piece?

: Last year, I basically played pieces that were going to be in my recital, so I could practice

playing them in front of audience. But my basic philosophy is to play some of the best classical music written for piano while students are casu-ally eating lunch or reading in the Union and to expose them to this kind of music in a casual way and, hopefully, make a small difference in their day.

: Do you typically perform in front of crowds?

: As a doctoral piano student, it is expected that we perform often and in front of audi-

ences. Recitals have been a constant part of my piano study, both as a graduate and undergradu-ate student. Playing at the Union is a much more relaxed environment than I’m used to, and that’s really what I like about it.

: What is your favorite piece of music?

: If I had to pick a favorite piano piece, it would be Beethoven’s “Waldstein Sonata.”

There are so many reasons why that piece is amazing that if I tried to explain them all, I’d end up writing a book.

AnAlysis

Offense debuts new look

Joe MussattoAssistant Sports Editor

OU’s third offensive play from the line of scrimmage on Saturday night gave Sooner fans a glimpse of what they might come to ex-pect this season.

But understanding the two previous plays are just as important.

Play No. 1: Read option for the Sooners, Trevor Knight hands off to Brennan Clay, no gain — the transformed offense didn’t take long to show up.

Play No. 2: Knight’s throw is incomplete, intended for Jalen Saunders — a little shaky, but then again, it’s his first throw in front of 85,000 fans.

So, on third and long, after two plays that didn’t pro-duce, Trevor Knight takes the snap, sees no one open, and tucks it. The redshirt fresh-man quarterback making his first collegiate start scram-bled for 24 yards and picked up the first down.

We l c o m e t o t h e n e w Oklahoma offense.

How many times in the Stoops era have we seen a quarterback comfortable picking up a third and long with his legs? Not many.

Whether it was the nerves of making his first start or not, Knight looked far more con-fident in his ability to run the ball rather than throw it.

While co-offensive co-ordinator Josh Heupel said he wants to see a better stat line through the air for his

quarterback, the coaching staff knows what they are going to get from Knight: A young signal caller that, if he finds a rhythm with his throws, will be a nightmare for opposing defenses to face.

The San Antonio native finished with 103 rushing yards against Louisiana-Monroe, the most by an OU freshman quarterback since Steve Collins in 1989, accord-ing to soonersports.com.

But it wasn’t just Knight running around the Warhawk defense. Oklahoma’s backs totaled another 183 yards on the ground, includ-ing 66 from senior Damien Williams.

The running backs ran

hard and were noticeably physical against a lesser qual-ity defense. The ground game had to be counted on when the air strike wasn’t firing.

Saturday, Knight and fel-low quarterback Blake Bell

totaled just 124 yards through the air. In any other year for a Stoops team, this number would signal a terrible outing for the offense.

Thirty-four points against a Louisiana-Monroe de-fense isn’t stellar in the land of the Big 12, but it’s far from terrible.

Sure, like Heupel said, the Sooners want to be more effi-cient passing the ball, but for the first time, they don’t nec-essarily need to be.

Gone may be the days of the usual 400+ passing yards, because Knight and his corps of running backs are doing things a little differently in Norman.
