Members of the Norman community applaud candidate Cindy Rosenthal on her victory in the Norman Mayoral elections Tuesday night.
Third time’s the charm for Norman’s incumbant mayor Cedar Floyd and Arianna Pickard Campus Reporter and Campus Editor
Energy and volume escalated as voting numbers came in faster at Norman mayoral candidate Cindy Rosenthal’s election watch party, leading up to a call from opposing candidate Tom Sherman congratulating her on her re-election. “It’s incredible to look out and see a friend,” Rosenthal said after finishing her conversation with Sherman. “This campaign — because of all the negativity — it’s important to have friends and to thank your friends.” R o s e n t h a l re “[Rosenthal] can’t ceived 54.2 perget the chromium-6 cent of the Norman with Sherman out of the water by vote, coming in second herself — we have at 37.2 percent and to work together to David Kempf receiving 8.5 percent, make those things according to unofficial election results happen.” on the Oklahoma jackie farley, State Election women and gender studies Board website. The professor official results will be released after 5 p.m. Wednesday. Rosenthal, also an OU political science professor and director of OU’s Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center, talked about her plans for Norman now that she has been re-elected for a third term as mayor. “The next three years are really, really important for Norman,” Rosenthal said. “We’re going to work we’re going to work on water, on the right issues — not on craziness.” Water probably is Norman’s most important issue right now, said Jackie Farley, an OU women’s and NAME NAME/ORGANIZATION

mayor: Spoke of importance of respecting diversity of opinions Continued from page 1 gender studies professor who helped with Rosenthal’s campaign. “[Rosenthal] can’t get the chromium-6 out of the water by herself — we have to work together to make those things happen,” Farley said. Rosenthal also talked about the importance of respecting diversity in office. “One of the things you learn from doing this job is that the most important skill is to listen to diverse points of view and respect that diversity,” she said. Rosenthal said she has worked with 24 city council members now, and she has learned that you have to respect their constituency and views to work with them, but all of them share a passion for improving Norman. “Everyone has the same goal of trying to make Norman the best place possible to live and work and raise a family,” she said. Before Sherman’s call, Rosenthal had rushed about with a sticky note and cell phone in hand as the results flowed in. About 80 people attended her watch party
“This has been a very uplifting result, and I’m excited to get to work. We’ve got lots of big challenges ahead of us, and, working together, we’ll tackle those.” cindy rosenthal, norman mayor
at the Legend’s Times Two event center in Norman, and each new data point seemed to be a self-contained unit to be celebrated or mourned despite the unpredictability of the total end result. Once that end result finally came in around 8:30 p.m., Rosenthal was ready to get back to work making Norman a better place. “This has been a very uplifting result, and I’m excited to get to work,” Rosenthal said. “We’ve got lots of big challenges ahead of us, and, working together, we’ll tackle those.” The Daily was unable to attend candidate David Kempf’s watch party because it was a private event and was unable to obtain a comment from him by press time.
Human Rights
Human rights demonstration rescheduled due to rain Inclement weather has canceled one of the events of Student Government Association’s Human Rights Week. The display on the South Oval in front of Dale Hall, called “Breaking the Silence,” would have featured volunteers wearing traditional costumes from Thailand, China, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka and Cameroon. The students would have held signs showing facts about human rights abuses in their respective countries. Because of the heavy
rainfall and chilly weather, the event coordinator decided to move the event to 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday and incorporate it in the Fair Trade Fair, which will also be located in front of Dale Hall, said the event coordinator Helga Skaftason, international area studies and zoology junior. “The event was canceled [Tuesday] because the weather simply did not
allow passers-by to stop, read and think,” Skaftason said. The display was planned to make the facts of human rights abuses more real to college students who often inundated with the sad realities of the world and thus become desensitized, Skaftason said. Atiba Williams Campus Repoter

t isn’t often we see Opinion Columnist brutal honesty in politics anymore. It’s a system that rewards the status quo, where doing your job means losing your job. Once you’re in, it’s dangerous to stick your head out. Undue attention Scott Houser to a controversial opinscott.a.houser-1@ou.edu ion can be all a challenger needs to take your job and your paycheck. Presidential hopeful for 2016 Sen. Rand Paul, R-KY, stirred up controversy on March 21 when he made an unexpected statement regarding our nation’s seldom-debated drug policies. During a Fox News segment about minimum mandatory sentencing for marijuana possession, Paul stated President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush were lucky they were never arrested for smoking marijuana — if they had been caught, it would have ruined their careers. This was a rare and much needed breath of fresh air. In a country where drugs, especially marijuana, are everywhere, political discussion on a federal level has been almost nonexistent. I watched every presidential debate between Obama and Mitt Romney and can’t remember either of them answering a single question regarding the war on drugs, which imprisons thousands of people every year. I certainly knew where they both stood on the issue, which is about the same place Richard Nixon stood when the term “war on drugs” became widely used. As glad as I am to finally see somebody with political prestige call out the president on his hypocrisy, I’m even happier to see it be done by a conservative. Conservatives and Republicans, within the last 30 years, always have viewed themselves as the party of personal responsibility and limited government. Unfortunately, this self-assessment has not always been the truth, especially with regard to military spending, social issues and, of course, drugs. Adopting the principles of personal responsibility and limited government to all issues could be helpful for future Republican and conservative candidates. As liberals who are considered “cool,” such as Obama, drift more and more toward status quo establishment politics, liberty-minded conservatives like Paul have real opportunities to gain support by simply being “no B.S.” politicians. And whom do the Democrats plan to elect to run in 2016? Hillary Clinton? Joe Biden? The competition couldn’t be more status quo. With a lineup like that, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Democrats inherit the title of “out-of-touch old white people” from Republicans. Scott Houser is an international business senior.

Labeling is the key to accepting horse meat into the U.S. diet
H
ow would you opinion columnist feel if you found out what you thought was a regular old meatloaf TV dinner wasn’t made from beef? If you were told it was turkey, buffalo or tofu, you probably wouldn’t be upset. How would you Sarah Sullivan feel if you found out it was sullivan.sarah313@gmail.com made out of horse meat? Across Europe, horse meat was being labeled and sold to companies as beef. Horse meat disguised as beef was being used in frozen dinners, among other ground meat products. In Amsterdam, Draap Trading, Ltd. distributed mislabeled beef to food producers, and the horse meat was sent over many of Europe’s open trade borders including, but not limited to, France, Holland and Belgium. Horse meat was found in frozen moussaka and lasagna. If I found out my TV dinner was not beef, I would be a little concerned. When I purchase something, especially food, I expect it to be what it says. To say the least, I wouldn’t finish my horse meat dinner. However, if I went to Europe, I probably would give it a shot. It isn’t that I think of horses as food. I like horses, but I also like cows, and I think pigs are cute. That doesn’t stop me from ordering a bacon cheeseburger at O’Connell’s. When it comes to dealing with the scandal, European officials are chalking it up to nothing more than a labeling issue. The meat was “not contaminated in any way,” said Frederic Vincent, a spokesman for health and consumer policy at the European Commission. U.S. citizens, including Oklahomans, seem to be disgusted at the whole thing to the point of not backing Gov. Mary Fallin’s support of a bill that would lift Oklahoma’s ban on horse slaughtering. However, the situation here is not truly the same as the one in Europe, as the bill would not allow the sale of horse meat in Oklahoma.
Horse Meat Facts Horse meat is half the price of beef meat.
Horse meat has half the fat of beef and twice as much iron.
Horse processing is a $100 billion a year industry. Until 2006, 80% of that was from horse meat.
Until 1980, horse steaks were a revered menu item at Ivy League Clubs like Harvard.
Horse meat is high in protein. Micah Wormley/The daily
If you disagree as well, contact your state senator and voice your concerns. The issue seems to be mislabeling rather than the actual substance being consumed. No one likes to be lied to or have one pulled over on them. Probably Americans more than anyone. By not informing people they were eating horse meat, producers created unnecessary panic.
Source: blogs.phillymag.com
If they had been told before hand the food they were about to consume was horse meat, would they have been so upset at the idea of consuming this animal? I would be interested to find out. Sarah Sullivan is a professional writing junior.

ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS By Potter Stern
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you have to work on something that requires deep concentration, do your best to find quiet surroundings. Noise, disruptions or interference will negatively affect your performance. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Because your aspirations are likely to be more practical than most people’s, the possibilities for realizing your hopes are correspondingly greater.

BLOG OF THE WEEK
U English seLIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST nior Madeline Alford puts her professional internship experiences to good use in her fashion, beauty and internship-centered blog, “prof | intern.” From eyebrow maintenance to inShannon Borden tern style, this blog has it shannonborden@ou.edu all for the fashion-crazed go-getter. After three magazine internships, Alford had the urge to relate her internship experiences to her interest in fashion and beauty through one of her greatest passions — writing, according to the blog. Per the suggestion of her Magazine Interest Group adviser, Kathryn Jensen White, “prof intern” was born. “I want it to be a resource for people if they have beauty and fashion questions,” Alford said. Not only does she use her blog for beauty but also to build her professional portfolio. Alford said she gets her inspiration by reading different blogs and magazines. She uses her seven different magazine subscriptions to see what topics are trending. In her most recent post, “Low Buns-With a Twist!,” Alford discusses low buns. Make note, ladies. The high bun is out and the low bun is in. The post gives several ways to rock the new low bun trend for different occasions. Included is a photo of each hairstyle and instructions for creating the look. The instructions are so simple and the styles so doable that even the hair inept, like myself, can get the look. One stand-out post, “Brows Made Simple,” is about eyebrow maintenance. I’m sure many have experienced the pain of plucking and the horror of waxes gone wrong. Eyebrows are a pain, but Alford has tips to get us through. She gives a few tricks, like leaning your tweezers against your nose at different angles to find out where your brow should begin, arch and end. For those wanting to know about the intern experience, her posts about various internship often are humorous anecdotes about a day in the office. In “The Intern Games,” Alford compares a night at the office to “The Hunger Games,” saying that when a garment needed to get to a shoot, she and one of her coworkers “volunteered as tributes.” After a disastrous series of events getting the garment to the shoot, they rewarded themselves with a

few glasses of sangria. The odds were ever in their favor. Beauty beginners and veterans alike will enjoy her beauty posts that are simple enough to understand but packed with tips and tricks that are sure to have you looking your best. For future interns, “prof | intern” is a great source for real-life accounts of life as an intern. Shannon Borden is a professional writing sophomore.
One Saturday after a week of long hours of advancing competition, surrounded by other OU students at the closing ceremony of the regional acting competition, drama senior Lindsey Kite was just moments away from one of the biggest honors of her life. “I didn’t know if it was going to be me. They announced it as the winner being from the University of Oklahoma first, so I thought maybe it was one of the other three students from OU,” Kite said. Filled with shock, Kite was embraced by OU students surrounding her when she was announced the winner of the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship. She was presented with a certificate, which meant she would represent region six at the national Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival on April 19 in Washington, D.C. OU students have won this scholarship — one of the biggest scholarships given to performers at each regional festival — for the past three years, said Rena Cook, voice and speech professor. “She has worked incredibly hard in every department for the past four years,” Cook said. “It’s only fitting that in her last semester she gets to experience this recognition.” After Kite won the award, she picked music theater sophomore Andrew Gallop as her partner to join her at the festival. “It is definitely an honor to be chosen,” Gallop said. Kite will perform a scene from “Tribes” by Nina Raine, a scene from “Victoria Martin: Math Team Queen” by Kathryn Walat and a two minute monologue from “The Winter’s Tale” by William Shakespeare. Kite said she doesn’t view it as a competition but more as an opportunity to network with people in the industry and to learn as much as she can. The Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship is designed to provide recognition, honor and financial assistance to outstanding student performers wishing to pursue further education and includes a $500 scholarship to regional representatives, according to the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival’s website. Winners at the festival will receive a $2,500 scholarship, Cook said.
