A coalition of OU students will petition President David Boren a third time regarding living wage clothing companies today in front of Evans Hall.

The Alta Gracia Coalition will deliver another letter at 3:45 p.m. to Boren asking him to support the goal that 50.1 percent of apparel sold on campus be purchased from companies that pay laborers a living wage by this fall. Alta Gracia, a factory in the Dominican Republic, is one such company, said Clay Burns, economy, finance and energy management senior and member of the OU Alta Gracia Coalition. see COALITION paGe 2

OU Startup Weekend will return for its third consecutive year today, Saturday and Sunday at a new venue.

This year’s event space will be at the offices of the Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth at OU’s Research Campus, said Reneé Selanders, OU Startup Weekend coordinator.

“This new location, with nine different collaborative work spaces available, will highlight CCEW’s role as the event host and a strong supporter of the weekend’s entrepreneurial activities,” Selanders said.

Over 75 OU undergraduates, students from other surrounding universities and

“People who want to create business plans for things like websites, iPhone apps or food trucks can come and participate,” Selanders said.

Participants vote on the best pitches Friday evening, Selanders said. This way, only the best ideas are expanded throughout the rest of the weekend — just like

Last year, norman residents raised $10,000 at the polar plunge, Lightle said. the goal for this year was to beat that total and have 50 participants. the money raised at this event and others like it across the state will help 9,500 athletes participate in oklahoma’s special olympics, Lightle said. the pool used for the plunge was donated by pleasant pools and will be on Campus Corner, Lightle said. students can register to plunge at http://www.sook. org/polar-plunge-norman.html Max Janerka Campus Reporter

American students can socialize with international students over cups of coffee to help international students and their families improve their English every Thursday.

English Conversation Café was designed to improve international students’ English vocabulary and knowledge of American culture, according to the OU International Student Services website. The conversation café is also open to students from the Center for English as a Second Language and families of international students.

This semester, students will meet 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Thursdays in Hester

“I want to spread my culture to the community and participate in as many activities as possible,” Yamkasikorn said. “That’s a way to interact more with American students and better improve my English.”

International students also come to ask questions about campus services and programs, Yamkasikorn said. They feel more comfortable asking these questions around their peers instead of going to ask student services.

But not many American students attend prog ra m s l i k e t h e E n g l i s h Conversation Café, Yamkasikorn said. There was one native English speaker and five international students at the first session this semester.

Norman gardens could spark local green movement

W

ith the spark OPINION COLUMNIST of the current green revolution taking hold around the world, countless forms of similar innovation are bubbling up within the community.

Individuals, small groups, Andrew Sartain big groups and compaandrew.sartain@ou.edu nies — many recognize the best outlets to bring environmental and economic change, but they fail to take the initial action to reach out to the others in the community working on synonymous projects.

A good example of this is community gardening concepts. There is much eagerness in Norman to implement this idea, yet the lack of long-term commitment it has been able to build has hindered its success. Not a week goes by I don’t hear of another small group of people or an organization that has been heavily interested in setting up a community garden, but has struggled with funding, participation, popularity, etc.

Why is collaboration so important to community innovation? Particularly in the environmental movement, people will get eager to attack an issue and it seems as though there is a lot of potential to address countless problems, but they lack the coherent coordination to bring ideas to full fruition.

Rather than there being 50 community gardening ideas in Norman, we need to implement a platform that allows these ideas to easily and conveniently come together so that 50 half-developed community gardens can turn into 6 full-scale, successful gardening concepts.

The ideas that will inherently change the perceptions and actions of a local community will be the ones that incorporate the people in procedures, both in development and in operation.

In a rapidly-shrinking world, one idea can stimulate community implementation.

Whether this is recycling, gardening or energy use — individual effort only gets you so far. True success in these fields is accomplished collectively.

So to the visionaries within the community who long for their brilliant ideas to be executed, make an effort to find each other — you are not alone. To those without ideas of their own but who want to take action and make a difference — you too are not alone.

Let’s make daylight saving time ride slowly into the sunset

C

hange is always OPINION COLUMNIST tricky. Some love it, and some hate it. Consider a change on Facebook — the company makes just one cosmetic change to the appearance of our news feeds and profiles, and many are immediately Alex Niblett annoyed and against it. After alexandra.g.niblett@ou.edu some time though, we get used to it, start to like it and move on with our lives.

Maybe it’s time to consider changing daylight saving time.

Better yet, let’s not change it. Let’s end it. I could definitely get used to not worrying about changing my clocks or waking up an hour earlier each spring; this year it’s on March 10.

The first Daylight Saving Bill was drafted in 1909 but was opposed by many people, farmers in particular. Daylight saving time was first officially adopted on April 30, 1916, to replace artificial lighting in an attempt to save fuel for the war effort in Germany.

Inspired, President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched yearround daylight saving time in the United States on Feb. 9, 1942, with intentions to save additional energy resources during World War II. After World War II ended in 1945, daylight saving time caused a number of problems — some problems that still exist today.

Daylight saving time has been implemented in the U.S. since World War II, but as of 2007, it has been nationally set to begin at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and end at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November each year, excluding Hawaii and Arizona.

Daylight saving time may have some minor positive aspects, but the cons cannot be overlooked. First, daylight saving time is an inconvenience. Clocks need to be adjusted, and software updates can be affected.

As if different time zones are not already a challenge, imagine the simplicity if transportation industries did not have take daylight saving time into account. Confusion is so easily created thanks to different regions of the country and

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This could be a good day to enhance your financial wherewithal. If you know of anything you can do that would open such doors, do it now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Most of your associates had better step aside when they see you coming, because once you get on a roll, there will be no stopping you, regardless of what’s in your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will have no trouble accomplishing whatever you set your mind to.

Obstacles will melt away in the face of your energetic momentum. Enjoy the ride.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Putting yourself out for others without hesitation will make you feel good, mostly because you won’t make them feel obligated to you in the process.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t hesitate to elevate your sights when establishing your objectives. All you have to do to perform some remarkable feats is believe in yourself to the fullest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If there is an important agreement that you need to negotiate, you’re likely to find this to be an excellent day to do so. You stand a good chance of coming to a quick understanding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Because your modus operandi is exceptionally efficient, you won’t waste any time performing your assignments, particularly those that involve a joint interest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Many times, two heads are better than one. This is likely to be one of those days when your efforts could be doubly effective, all because of another’s aid.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because you unselfishly desire to help another, your efforts could bear large fruit. As a result, you could receive some extra rewards that you didn’t seek.

The semi-formal soirée will be held from 8 p.m. to midnight in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Molly Shi Boren Ballroom.

“For this year’s Ball, we hope to raise over $10,500 for Komen and have over 400 attendees,” Moore said.

THEATER

Production uses mobsters to symbolize Nazi Germany ‘The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui’ satirizes the rise of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany COLLIER MCKINNIS Life & Arts Reporter

Starring an ensemble cast of various drama students, University Theatre will present the play “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui” to the general public this weekend.

Written by German playwright Bertolt Brecht, the play highlights main character Arturo Ui’s rise to power as a mobster. Ui uses his newfound power to intimidate and murder his way into the role of a mob boss in 1930s Chicago. Along with his various henchmen, Ui then moves on to do the same in other U.S. towns.

“He [Brecht] kind of sheds light on the ridiculousness of Hitler’s rise and the blindness of the public in the way that people can be manipulated,” acting junior Brooke Reynolds said.

The play is a satirical allegory for the rise of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.

Several characters in the play parallel key figures in that historical time period such as Arturo’s parallel to Hitler. Key characters that parallel real historical figures include Ui’s henchman Ernesto Roma who portrays Ernst Röhm, Dogsborough who represents Paul von Hindenburg and Giuseppe Givola who depicts Joseph Goebbels.

“It has so many different elements to it,” Reynolds said.

“There’s a lot of spectacle to

the whole production that’s fun to watch.”

Throughout the play, the audience sees Ui transform from a charming, charismatic Chicago mobster into a ruthless, murderer that sieges the town. The ironic title “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui” highlights the point that Ui’s inevitable rise to becoming a murderer is partly the people’s fault.

“I hope people get the message of the play,” acting junior Matthew Percival said.

“This play shows just how culpable the people are in this situation as well. They let him become Hitler.”

Although the play features serious subject matter, it also has a comedy and a prominent circus theme. This element lends audience members laughs while still maintaining an air of seriousness, Reynolds said.

The play will feature other entertaining technical elements, such as snare drums

OU hosts reeling Kansas squad

Sooners start season at Kajikawa Classic

Sooners searching for signature win

OU boasts three All-Americans, high expectations for 2013 season

Garrett Holt Sports Reporter

The O klahoma men’s basketball team will have a difficult task on its hands as it tries to get back into the win column against Kansas at 3 p.m. Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center.

Both the Sooners (14-7, 5-4 Big 12) and the Jayhawks (19-3, 7-2 Big 12) come into the game on a two-game losing streak.

“We didn’t respond very well to the Kansas State game,” coach Lon Kruger said. “For the first time all year, we came out of a loss and didn’t respond like you would want to.

“I think that one took a little something out of us, and we didn’t have much pop [in the next game].”

After that 52-50 loss to Kansas State, OU came out flat against Iowa State and was handed one of this season’s worst defeats, 83-64.

On the other side of the matchup, Kansas also picked up one of its worst losses of the season in its last game against TCU. The Jayhawks shot a dismal 29 percent from the field and only managed to score 13 points in the first half of what eventually became a 62-55 loss.

“We’ve lost two games, they’ve lost two games,” senior forward Romero Osby said. “They’re going to come in here fired up. They’re still the No. 5 team in the nation until that changes.”

Freshman guard Isaiah Cousins (11) and senior forward Romero Osby (24) defend Kansas State senior guard Rodney McGruder (left) during OU’s 52-50 loss to the Wildcats on Saturday.

Osby and his frontcourt mate, junior forward Amath M’Baye, will have their hands full against Kansas’ senior center Jeff Withey.

In the last matchup between the teams, a 67-54 Kansas victor y, Withe y dominated the Sooners with 13 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and three steals.

The OU for wards will have to limit his effectiveness and also play to their potential if they hope to lead

the Sooners to the upset.

In the last game, neither player had a great game.

M’Baye finished with eight points and six rebounds while Osby had six points and six rebounds.

“All we have to do is do our job and things will take care of themselves,” M’Baye said. “I expect a lot of myself and out of this team, so the results have been OK. “I think that we can all agree that we could have

done better.”

The Sooners certainly hope they will start doing better this Saturday because this is an extremely important game for OU, M’Baye said.

“Every game is a must win,” he said. “We all want to win this game. It’s going to be a fun one.”

After months of preparation, the nation’s second-ranked team will be back in action against No. 21 Stanford on Friday morning at the Kajikawa Classic in Phoenix.

The excitement is evident within the program, and following Thursday’s practice, the team was eager to get the season underway. OU will play a sequence of five games in three days at the tournament.

Senior catcher Jessica Shults said the team is primed to begin the season.

“We’ve just been preparing and waiting to get back on the field and start the season,” Shults said. “We are prepared for what we’re going to face out there.”

The Sooners will not be able to ease into the schedule. They will face Stanford on Friday and No. 6 Oregon on Saturday — two highly anticipated matchups.

But difficult early season contests are commonplace for coach Patty Gasso’s teams.

“We’ve always had the philosophy of playing a tough schedule,” Gasso said. “This team loves that competition.

They would much rather be in a close ball game than to runrule a team.”

Sophomore infielder Lauren Chamberlain echoed the thoughts of her coach and teammates.

“We’re ready to be on the diamond with great teams,” she said.

After making it to last season’s title game, the Sooners recognize the importance of facing quality competition during the regular season.

“We’re trying to make a run for the national championship right now,” Chamberlain said. “Playing a stacked schedule is what we need to better prepare us for the end.”

Softball’s national spotlight is on this year’s Oklahoma team, which returns three All-Americans, including USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, senior pitcher Keilani Ricketts.

“We talk about staying in the moment, not looking ahead and not looking behind,” Gasso said. “That’s really where our focus has been.”

The Sooners continue play in the Kajikawa Classic on Saturday when they play Oregon and New Mexico followed by one game Sunday against Northwestern.
