GOVERNMENT

Research projects at risk from shutdown

STAFF REPORTSWhile the government shut down wont affect feder-

ally funded programs at OU in the short term, some fac-ulty research projects could be hindered if the shut down continues.

The real consequences of the government shut down will arise if the shutdown lasts for more than a few weeks, said

Kelvin Droegemeier, vice president for research.The shutdown occurred Monday night when compro-

mise couldnt be reached between the house Republicans and Democrats on a spending bill.

Depending on how long the shutdown lasts, federally funded research at OU shouldnt be affected, Droegemeier said.

Because federal research already has been funded by grants, the shutdown wont affect those researchers much, he said.

However, as long as the shutdown lasts, researchers wont

be able to submit any new proposals and researchers wont get any new funding.

Thats a pain, Droegemeier said.Another issue the shutdown presents is that faculty cant

talk to the program officers of their grants, and they cant make changes in existing grants, like if they need to pur-chase new equipment, he said.

While grant-funded research is only marginally affected in the short term, researchers on federal contracts already

Students and researchers will be unable to submit new proposals for funding

TRANSPORTATION

Volunteers provide rides for students Inflating CART fare wont hurt wallets

CHRIS JAMES/THE DAILY

International students wait outside Kraettli Apartments, Sept. 29, for a trip to Walmart. Students like these rely on transportation provided by different organizations on campus.

Plans to raise fares and upgrade vehicles will have a minor impact on students

ARIANNA PICKARDCampus Editor

Student fees will not be affected if the Cleveland Area Rapid Transits bus fare is increased.

CART director Doug Myers told Norman city leaders on Monday that he is considering raising the cost of bus fare, but student fees will not be raised as a result, said Vicky Holland, OU Parking and Transit spokeswoman.

Student tuition includes a fee to pay for CART services, which transports about 450,000 students to campus from Lloyd Noble Center and about 163,000 on the apartment loop route each year, Holland said.

Since students pay for CART services with fees, the only students who would be affected by the increase in bus fare are students who ride the sooner express, Holland said. The fare for the sooner express route, which buses students from Oklahoma City to campus, would increase from $2.25 to $3.

Holland said CART officials are considering raising the fare, which hasnt increased in 18 years, to buy new vehicles.

We need the money to replenish our fleet because its aging, Holland said. Theyre quite costly.

The vehicles cost about $400,000 each and have about a 12-year life span, she said.

C ART is funded mostly by the Federal Transit Administration and OU, Holland said. Passenger fare only makes up a small portion of the services funding.

The fees wont officially be raised until after public hear-ings are held, which probably will take place in November, Holland said.

I believe itll have to go in front of the Norman City Council, once those hearings have been held to let residents weigh in, she said. Its not set in stone yet.

SIMENG DAICampus Reporter

Many exchange students who dont have cars are finding it difficult to nav-igate Norman for basic necessities like groceries, but fortunately various orga-nizations are helping transport them around the city.

To counter their transportation is-sues, many students turn to alterna-tive methods like walking, using public transportation, riding with friends and sometimes hitchhiking to and from their destinations.

One exchange student decided to test his legs and walk to Homeland on Main Street during his first week on campus.

It took Denis Rupp, an industrial en-gineering senior from Germany, 40 minutes to walk to Homeland.

I really didnt care, and I did need some stuff, he said.

In Germany, most people take the train, he said, so he was used to not driv-ing places.

After that experience, though, Rupp said he wouldnt walk anymore and now biking would be his chosen form of transportation.

While some students try to walk or bike given reasonable weather con-ditions, others take the bus. However, some have found that when they take the bus to get groceries, the errand can

turn into a disaster.The second week of the semester,

Edwin Vega, an electrical engineering senior from Colombia, took the bus to Walmart at 6 p.m.

As he was leaving Walmart, Vega met some friends and they talked for what he thought was a short time.

Looking at the sun, Vega thought it was only 7 p.m., but when he checked his phone it was 9 p.m. and he had missed the last bus.

Realizing this, he ran to the bus stop

with all the groceries.I was almost crying, Edwin said.Not knowing what else to do, he tried

to hitchhike back home, but that plan failed.

Finally, a bus came up with the sign that said it was out of service.

I didnt think it would stop, Edwin said.

However, it stopped about 200 yards away from him and he ran toward it, he said. When the door opened, the driver asked how he could help him.

Edwin tried to explain his situation, but his broken English hindered him. Eventually, the driver was able to help

him and Edwin got home.For those students not yet familiar

with the bus schedule, missing the bus is a common occurrence.

Daira Gonzales Zurita, an envi-ronmental engineering senior from Bolivia, had a similar experience after she caught the return bus from Walmart and waited at the Brooks Street Transfer station for a ride back to Traditions West Apartments.

She thought the bus would be stopped for a while, so she didnt run to the bus when it came. Before she realized it, the bus had gone and she had to wait for another 30 minutes.

My ice cream was melted, Daira said. I was so worried about my ice cream, and I was so upset.

That was her last time to take the bus to Walmart, she said.

In addition to CART, two church-es help exchange students go to Walmart, including Grace Life Church.

Church volunteers take 15 stu-dents by a mini bus every Thursday or Friday.

Jon Gagnon, the campus pastor for Grace Life Church, believes one of the ways you can help people is to make them feel loved.

Love is practical, Gagnon said.Taking students to get groceries is

a simple way to help them and make them feel loved, he said.

CRIME

Report outlines crime statisticsUrges students and faculty to be aware

CHRIS JAMES/THE DAILY

OUPD patrols the area during the rush parties held at the beginning of the semester.

MOLLY EVANSAssistant Campus Editor

While arrests related to li-quor law violations on cam-pus increased by 22 percent last year, arrests related to drug law violations de-creased by 34 percent, ac-cording to the 2013 Sooner Safety and Fire Report re-leased last week.

Liquor law violation ar-rests increased from 107 to 131 from 2011 to 2012, and drug law violation arrests decreased from 44 in 2011 to 29 in 2012, according to the report.

St a t i s t i c s o n c a m p u s crime such as liquor and dr ug law violat ions are published ever y year in the Sooner Safety report, which compiles three years of reported crime offens-es and information on fire safety and statistics, said Br uce Chan, OU Police Lieutenant. It also includes information on education-al programs regarding sub-stance abuse, sexual harass-ment and assault policies.

Other f indings in this years report include a jump in reported forcible sex of-fenses on campus from two in 2010 to eight in 2012.

A n o t h e r i n c r e a s e i n on-campus crime was seen in motor vehicle theft from five total reported offenses in 2010 to 11 in 2012, ac-cording to the report.

H o w e v e r, t h i s y e a r s Sooner Safety also features significant decreases in vi-olations, particularly in the

total number of burglaries that occurred on campus dropping from 29 offens-es in 2011 to eight in 2012, according to the report.

W h a t I w o u l d s p e c-u l a t e i s t h a t students, fac-ulty and staff members are paying great-er attention to locking doors and their of-fices and dorm rooms, Chan said.

The report is helpful not only for the safety of the OU community but also for OUPD to observe crime

trends, Chan said.Th e re p o r t i s w r i t t e n

in compliance with the Jeanne Clery D i s c l o s u r e o f C a m p u s Security Policy and Campus C r i m e S t a t i s t i c s Act 20 U.S.C. S e c t i o n 1 0 9 2 ( f ) , a s a m e n d e d , Chan said.

But before t h a t f e d e r a l l a w w a s e n -acted, crime statistics were submitted an-nually to the

FBI for national publication within the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, he said.

Sooner Safety includes cr ime rep or ts and uni-versity violation statistics compiled by the OU Police D e p a r t m e n t , N o r m a n P o l i c e D e p a r t m e n t , Division of Student Affairs a n d t h e O U A t h l e t i c s Department.

The recently released 2013-2014 OU Rights and R e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s C o d e, which reviews student con-duct policies, is also avail-able to the public.

A copy of the document can be obtained online at studentconduct.ou.edu.

Printed copies are avail-able at the Office of Student Conduct, located at 660 Parrington Oval or at a stu-dents particular college on campus.

What I would speculate is

that students, faculty and staff

members are paying greater

attention to locking doors and their offices and dorm rooms.

Community Church, has been taking students to Walmart every Sunday for three years, said Crystal Mendez, one of the leaders for Antiochs Walmart Rides Ministry.

Antioch has 12 drivers in total, and eight drivers work every week. They take 30 stu-dents per week on average, Mendez said.

Its always a blessing to help people, Mendez said.

Yesika Ramirez, a com-puter science senior from C o l o m b i a, ha s g o n e t o Walmart via the Antioch buses several times.

[I] didnt expect the mar-ket could be this far, she said.

In Colombia shops were very close to home, and her family used to buy food twice a week.

Ramirez feels lucky to have the people from the church take her to get groceries.

It takes gasoline, time and energy to take us to Walmart

and they ask for nothing back, she said.

Solne Guy, a foreign language junior from Germany, shares a host family with four exchange students.

Except for one week, their host family has given them a ride to Walmart every Tuesday, she said.

We are so lucky to have a host family like them, Solne said.

Even with the help of her host family, she would still like to have a car to help her get around like she had at home.

SHUTDOWN: long-term issues arise for studentsContinued from page 1

are being impacted.So far, some of those researchers have received stop work

notices, saying they arent allowed to work on that particular research project, Droegemeier said.

However, none of these implications mean much in the short term, and the number of active federal contracts to federal grants is significantly lower, he said.

Its sort of business as usual right now for a few days, he said.

While the shutdown means many government employ-ees are being furloughed, and other federally funded insti-tutions and programs, like the National Parks System, are effectively stopped, the shutdown is a product of the type of government we have, said political science professor Allen Hertzke.

To some extent, its built into the current modern dy-namics of our party system, he said.

Our View: The government shutdown is ridiculous and could have been avoided.

As predicted, our government shutdown yesterday. And were angry about it.

In a letter written yes-terday addressing feder-al employees regarding the shutdown, President Barack Obama explained that Congress has failed to meet its responsibility to pass a budget be-fore the fiscal year that began yester-

day. He proceeded by saying Today, I wanted to take a moment to tell you what you mean to me and our country.

If you couldnt guess, he went on to express his appreci-ation and praise for the millions

of Americans who are employed by the U.S. govern-ment. Its nice he acknowledged the public, but its difficult to believe in words that, at the end of the day, are just blotches of ink on paper.

Obamas letter stated, As one of my predecessors, President George H.W. Bush, once said, There is nothing more fulfilling than to serve your country and your fellow citizens and to do it well. And that is what our system of self-government depends on.

Words are only as strong as the actions that back them up, and we havent seen much action on Capitol Hill these last few days. We hope the rest of Congress has heard this quote before, and more

importantly, we hope it would understand it.We pay for these congressmens salaries and put

our trust in them. But our government has let us down.

To the politicians influencing the end date of this shutdown do you expect us to sit here and do nothing as you casually allow some of our hard-working federally employed workers to stay home and miss days of pay while you tirelessly bicker?

At this point, we dont care what political party looks bad. Do the Republicans look like fools right now? Of course they do. But they arent sole-ly responsible for this pitiful corruption in Washington; Democrats are too, in-cluding our president.

No one

in congress should be paid until the shutdown is over. Congressmen and congresswomen who are re-sponsible for this monstrosity to happen in the first place should feel the same inconvenient discomfort as those who are financially affected are today.

No matter how eloquently worded a politicians speech may be, were not interested to hear any-more. We just want to see our government get its act together and end this ridiculousness thats costing taxpayers every single day.

Congress, were speaking to you. Make America your No. 1 priority and listen to us dont selfishly shut down the institution we pay you all to run. Its

part of your job to run a successful government.The government never should have to

succumb to shutting down it was ridic-ulous in 1995, and its just as unacceptable

now. Our congressmen and congress-women should have at least devised a temporary plan and make their absolute

best efforts to prevent this government shut-down from happening.

Its pathetic enough that on the 123rd anniver-sary of the founding of Yosemite National Park, its closed. But to demonstrate to America and the world your lack of strong leadership, you made our

country look bad.Our government clearly wasnt concerned enough about the consequences entailed in a

government shutdown. In the future, prop-erly represent the strong country we can be, or get out of office.

Comment on this at OUDaily.com

Youre driving just a few miles per hour over the speed limit when suddenly you see the flashing red and blue lights in your rear-view mirror cuing you to pull over. Strike one.

You have a party at your place one weekend, and around 2 a.m. when the par-tys lively, you get a knock on your door and are greeted by a police officer. Another strike.

Sometimes we get frustrated with the police for pulling us over or calling us out for doing things we think are OK, when sometimes, theyre really not OK. Its easy to be annoyed with the police while in college because this is our time to be free and have fun not have a second set of parents to watch over and restrict us.

But in all actuality, the police are there to keep each one of us safe, and sometimes that means they have to be your

guardian before your friend.When I was younger, my friends and I would prank call

random numbers at sleepovers, including prank-calling the police a couple of times. Of course, that wasnt the wisest thing to do because, as you could probably suspect, we got in trouble for it.

I remember feeling so innocent about calling. What would it hurt; it was just a little fun right? Now that Im older (and a lot more mature) I dont find it funny at all to prank call the police or call for irrational reasons, and I hope you dont either. Theyre not there to play telephone, theyre there to take their job seriously and aid whomever calls in

need of legitimate help or assistance.A man from Atlanta, Ga., went to a McDonalds one day

and ordered seven burgers. After checking his bag when he got to the car, he discovered he only received six burgers instead of seven. He went back into the store and requested another burger, and because of the cashiers alleged attitude, the man decided it was time to call 911.

What was the result of his phone call? The police arrested him for abusing the 911 system and he spent the night in

jail. This story was previously reported by CNNs Anderson Cooper 360 show on the Ridiculist and talk about ridiculous.

Lesson here is, dont call 911 for childish reasons. But do call if you sincerely feel like your safety is being threatened.

A couple of weekends ago, a friend and I were rollerblad-ing around one of Lloyd Nobles parking lots one night when a random vehicle showed up. It would slow down, pick up speed, randomly put its blinker on for a while, come near us, and drive away again in a continuous abnormal cycle.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2013

Go outside your comfort zone in terms of getting involved in the year ahead. If you dont voice your opinion, you will have no right to complain. Back away from anyone who doesnt treat you properly. If you believe that you serve the best, youll get it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Past lessons will be a guide to a diffi cult situation that youre now facing. Youll need to act judiciously to keep the peace, and wisely to see through rampant misinformation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Dont complain if someone asks you to do something. The fuss it will cause wont be worth the aggravation. Get the job done and move on to the things youd prefer to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Fix up your space and fi nd a way to budget for something youd like to purchase. An emotional matter will escalate if you havent been completely honest about the way you feel.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Keep life simple and get what needs to be done out of the way. Avoid dealing with unpredictable people. Team up with those willing and able to contribute consistently.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Use your energy wisely and protect yourself against injury. Think matters through before you make a decision. Poor money management will require an unusual solution. Add to your skills and knowledge.

Its the time of year when those final few dog days of summer transition into the first grey-skied days of fall. By this point, youre most likely sick of tank tops and one-hundred-degree temperatures. Instead, youre ready for layers, pump-kin-spiced everything, and Hocus Pocus reruns on ABC Family (or maybe thats just me).

The same thing goes for the music we listen to. The beat-heavy, danceable songs of summer seem out of place in the misty days of fall. In its place, there are slow melodies, breezy harmonies and mellow vibes all around. In preparation, heres a list of some of our favorite contemporary and classic songs for the perfect fall playlist.

Each semester, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art of-fers a free party exclusive-ly for students at OU. Since 2008, the museum has host-ed a viewing party to let stu-dents and faculty view an exhibition before it opens to the public. They provide en-tertainment such as a DJ, free food, a photo booth and a post-party concert.

The party will start 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. The Black Joe Lewis concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. on the mu-seum lawn. The event is offered at no charge and i s o p e n t o a l l students.

T h i s y e a r , the exhibition on display is ti-tled Libertad de Expresin. O n l o a n f ro m T h e M u s e u m of the Americas in Washington, D . C . , t h e e x -hibition features artwork from Latin American and Caribbean artists during the Cold War, according to a press release.

Michael Bendure, the Communications Director at the museum, hopes the exhi-bition will bring to light how important a role this artwork played at the time.

Latin American artists were just as poignant and relevant as their American counterparts, Bendure said. Visitors to the exhibit will

Blues band to play at art party

see styles such as surrealism and cubism not normally as-sociated with Latin American artists.

The party will also feature blues group Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears. Their new album, Electric Slave, made it to the top 10 on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart and has gained critical praise and positive compari-sons to James Brown.

They will be performing Thursday ,right here at OU, as part of the Campus Activities Council Concert Series. With

i n d i e g r o u p Pickwick as their opener, Black Joe Lewis & The H o n e y b e a r s will be bringing t h e i r m o d e r n soul sound to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art for the open-ing of a new ex-hibit, Libertad de Expresin: the Art of the A m e r i c a s and Cold War Politics.

The group is touring throughout North America this fall and win-ter. They have already had lauded performances at Coachella, Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits and also appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and The Late Show With David Letterman. In 2007, they were the openers for the band Spoon on a few of their tour dates.

The bands history dates back to 2006, when lead sing-er Joe Lewis was working at a

pawn shop in Austin.Im from Austin, but there

are people in the group from Dallas, Detroit, Indiana and even San Jose, Lewis said. I had been playing music for a while, but about four years ago, me and some other guys I had met just began play-ing and kicking around. Our group just kind of formed from there and started play-ing more gigs.

Rare for an independent band with no label experi-ence, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears were signed al-most right off the bat.

Lewis said the band en-joys having free reign with creativity.

And with this record com-pany, Lost Highway Records, we still have so much creative freedom, Lewis said. For now, they really just distrib-ute the record and market it but leave the creative side

to us. In that regard, we still have that sense of freedom to do what we want with our music.

Their music is an eclectic mix of roll and roll, blues, folk and soul delivered by Lewiss James Brown-like vocals and screams.

Id definitely call us a rock and roll blues group, man, Lewis said. I love James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and all of those early rock and soul artists. And even though theyre obvious influences, I

still try and do my own thing.Now that Black Joe Lewis

& The Honeybears are per-forming on a more regular basis than when they origi-nally started, Lewis said he is feeling more at home on the stage.

When youre on stage, youre not worrying about anything else but perform-ing, Lewis said. Its like that with any aspect of being a performer. When you per-form, its just that. Even when youre recording in the stu-dio, you feel like youre the only person in the world in there.

With the new album out and a slew of performanc-es set for the season, what is next for the blues rockers?

With the new album just out, were not thinking too far ahead, Lewis said. I mean, were always thinking about new songs and things

like that, but right now were just gonna chill, have fun with these upcoming perfor-mances and ease into what-evers next.

Bendure said the evenings events will also include a dance presentation titled Fallen from the School of Dance. Under the direction of professor Austin Hartel, Fallen is actually inspired by the works on display in Libertad de Expression.

A visit to the art museum is about having a unique re-action to art, Bendure said. When the performers are dancing, its them respond-ing to the way the artwork made them feel and rein-forces that idea of individual experience.

ANALYSIS

Knight could play a bigger roleQuarterback could be a good change of pace for Oklahoma

JOE MUSSATTOAssistant Sports Editor

Redshirt freshman quar-t e r b a c k T r e v o r K n i g h t wasnt expected to play in Oklahomas win over Notre Dame on Saturday, but on his first of just six plays, the former starter proved his worth.

His chance came on OUs third drive of the second half.

Junior Blake Bell, who sealed the starting position ahead of Knight in week three, went down with a leg cramp and was assisted to the locker room to receive intravenous fluids.

Earlier in the week, co-of-fensive coordinator Josh Heupel said he hadnt yet decided on a backup quar-terback, but as Bell left the field, Knight was his replacement.

It didnt take long for the San Antonio native to show the skill that initially won him the starting job.

H e u p e l d i a l e d u p a read-option play for Knights first snap, and the quarter-back executed it perfectly,

sprinting past the Fighting Irish defense for a 30 yard gain the Sooners longest rush of the afternoon.

The extra yardage not only reinforced Knights comfort in creating plays with his legs, but also exhibited the different styles of OUs top two quarterbacks.

While each has a du-al-threat skillset, its clear

that Heupel and the rest of the staff would rather Bell pass and Knight run.

In OUs first two games u n d e r K n i g h t , p l e n -t y o f re a d - o p t i o n s a n d

quarterback-designed runs were incorporated into the offense, and the Sooners pri-marily moved the ball on the ground.

Under Bell, the classic

spread aerial attack has re-turned to the playbook. Although Bell had a number of carries against the Irish, the deep corps of running backs propelled most of the Sooner ground game.

While Bell is the prima-ry starter moving forward, when Knight is on the field, its clear the OU offense changes. But coach Bob

Stoops didnt admit to a dif-ferent style of play.

Thats something you can try and muster up, Stoops said earlier in the season to the media. We dont have two offenses.

A n d r i g h t n o w , t h e Sooners shouldnt.

Blake Bell has been su-perb since being named the starter. The junior has led the offense, and his stats back it up: A completion per-centage over 70, 683 yards passing and six touchdowns without an interception.

In Mondays press con-ference, Stoops didnt close the door on the idea of using Knight in certain situations. Both his signal callers can run, but Knight is faster and displays a higher level of elusiveness.

Much like the Belldozer package from a year ago, the OU offense could imple-ment a set of plays featur-ing Knight and his uncanny speed in the position.

There is no quarterback controversy in Norman, but look for Knight to be rein-corporated in the offense as another wrinkle to worry op-posing defenses.

SPORTS COLUMNIST

Last season held the highly anticipated matchup of histor-ic powerhouses when No. 9 OU hosted No. 5 Notre Dame.

College Gameday even rolled into Norman to see the showdown of top 10 teams.

In fact, the entire nation took their eyes away from an SEC matchup for once to see which team would have the better fortune.

It appeared OU was ready to accept the challenge, re-deem its earlier home loss to Kansas State and defeat the Fighting Irish.

They werent. In a game where OU al-

ways seemed to be playing catch up, linebacker Manti Teo had a coming out party. He anchored a defense that picked off quarterback Landry Jones and held the

up-tempo OU offense to 15 yards rushing.

Yes, only 15 yards rush-ing were to be had for the Sooners in a game that shattered their national title hopes.

Its hard for a team to win a game with only 15 rush-ing yards. The offensive line was scrutinized for is dismal performance.

So, how would the O-line respond in this years matchup? They stepped up.

OU gashed Notre Dame for 212 yards on the ground in a rematch in South Bend, Ind.

Going from 0.6 yards per carry last year against Notre Dame to 5.0 yards per carry this year made all the difference.

OU controlled the trench-es, therefore OU controlled the game. The Sooners had the ball eleven minutes lon-ger than the Fighting Irish and had 13 more first down conversions too.

Sounds like redemption in South Bend to me.

There were two gaping uncertainties approaching the 2013 season: How would OUs defense perform? And how would OUs running

game look?Obviously, what stands

out is the way OU started the game: two intercep-tions,with one returned for a touchdown.

However, those plays only gave Oklahoma the lead.

What won OU the game on Saturday was the domi-nation of the line of scrim-mage. Hanging onto the ball, moving the chains and run-ning down the clock. These minute but crucial tasks are the keys to OUs success as a team this season.

So far, the Sooners are passing the test with flying colors.

Now the key is repeating the previous success against future opponents. And dont be surprised when it hap-pens again. Look for the Sooners to repeat Saturdays performance in many games to come this season.

If OU wants a chance to play for the crystal ball for the first time since 2008, then it needs more perfor-mances like that from the offensive line.

COLUMN

Offensive line redeems itself from last season

JOSH VASCIL/THE DAILY

Junior offensive lineman Daryl Williams runs out of the tunnel against Notre Dame. The offensive line had a much better showing in this seasons match-up than it did in last seasons.

CHRIS JAMES/THE DAILY

Redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Knight runs the ball in his first career start against the University of Louisiana-Monroe. Knight was benched later in the season in favor of junior quarterback Blake Bell. However, the Sooners could incorporate Knights running abilities into the offense and use him as a change of pace quarterback.
