Double or nothing in printing IT increases print charges nearly double to cover printing costs for printing lab MIKE BRESTOVANSKY Campus Reporter @BrestovanskyM

The cost to print from university printers has effectively doubled, rising from 5 cents to 9 cents, and the discount for duplex printing has been canceled. The increase in printing charges is because of an increase in the cost of maintaining a printer lab. Items like toner, ink and paper cost more, leading to an increase in charges, said Becky Grant, communications manager for OU Information Technology.

These rising costs outweigh the revenue made from printing, Grant said. “This effectively means that we are taking money from other areas of our budget to subsidize lab printing,” she said. The printing charges are the result of an eight-month study into the costs of printing at OU computer labs. The new model is based on historical data that will allow OU IT to break even on printing spending, she said. “We are not looking to turn a profit on printing, just to ensure that printing revenues cover printing costs and do not take away from other, critical areas of our budget,” Grant said. Because of the heightened costs, OU IT members have suggested students use digital submission services like

Desire2Learn or Dropbox. Last semester, OU printers managed by IT printed 1.7 million individual print jobs, said Sarah Robbins, director of public relations and strategic initiatives for OU Libraries. This equals roughly 22 large trees worth of paper, Grant said. Therefore, changing to a digital submission program would be cost-effective and would also lower the campus’ carbon footprint, Grant said. While Robbins is hopeful students will take this opportunity to explore paperless options, until spring statistics are available, nobody can say for sure how student behaviors have changed. Astronomy senior Sam Strother said he prints in the SEE PAPER PAGE 2

Viewers do not need to RSVP for the live stream event and can show up at any time during the day, according to the TEDxOU website. Attendees had to apply for tickets, which have been sold out since early December. This year, more applicants applied than were tickets available, curator Adam Croom said in an email. The event typically sells all available tickets, which helps fund the event in the future, Croom said. Aside from a few small sponsorships from Student Affairs, the OneU Store and Fowler Volkswagen, the event is completely reliant on ticket sales, Croom said. “TEDxOU sheerly exists because there is a demand for tickets, and we wouldn’t be able to do if the community didn’t keep coming back,” Croom said.

The forum, called “Panama Canal: 100 Years On” will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Jan. 24 in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Scholars Room. At the event, speakers including historian Julie Greene from the University of Maryland, business scholar Noel Maurer from Harvard Business School and Panamanian architect Raisa Banfield will address environmental affects of having the canal, such as connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, said Alan McPherson, director of the Center for the Americas. “We can’t wait to talk about the building of it, its

rebirth: Nonprofit organization sparks small changes for global payoff Continued from page 1 science interns will play an instrumental role in Earth Rebirth’s H2Ownership program, which is working to create an online self-reporting system to track waste and chemicals in Oklahoma water sources. Through public participation, the initiative is designed to show individuals how they can be involved in water quality issues. Interns in the program map projects and build a water database, said Darren Purcell, an associate professor in the department of geography and environmental sustainability. Purcell said several students from his department interned with Earth Rebirth last semester. “In the nine years I’ve been here as undergrad advisor and faculty member, I think it’s probably the first time we’ve had a real service-learning approach,� Purcell said. Rather than embracing a fear-mongering approach toward issues plaguing water supplies, like many other water awareness programs, Earth Rebirth advances a data-driven approach, reinforcing positive lifestyle changes, Sartain said. “You can’t change the world by telling people what they do wrong. You have to tell them how to do something better,�

Sartain said. “Otherwise, they’re just not going to listen to you.� The organization’s stance toward gradual social change was a major draw for advertising junior Katelyn Griffith who volunteered last year, organizing cleanup crews and snapping photos in the wake of the Moore tornado. “What I like about (Earth Rebirth) is they’re all about, like, going eco-friendly and helping the Earth, but they’re not the people just shoving it down your throat,� Griffith said. “They want to just, like, expose you to it, and show you these simple little things that you do every day that could actually be more effective than you realize.� Currently the group needs more volunteers, Sartain said. The interns are doing a lot of work, but the nonprofit’s founder is always looking for volunteers to help. Purcell described Sartain as having lots of ideas and boundless energy, reminding him of Gru, the warmhearted super-villain from the animated film, “Despicable Me,� who attempts to steal the moon. “He just needs a small army of minions,� Purcell said, “He’s Bennett Hall/The Daily got lots of great ideas.� Andrew Sartain, interdisciplinary perspectives on the environment

After a year of ongoing frustrations in the Senate and Coburn’s recent cancer diagnosis, his retire- Jacqueline Schlasner jschlasner@gmail.com ment comes as a surprise only because it’s a couple of years early. “My commitment to the people of Oklahoma has always been that I would serve no more than two terms. Our founders saw public service and politics as a calling rather than a career. That’s how I saw it when I first ran for office in 1994, and that’s how I still see it today,” Coburn said in a statement. The senator’s initiative to only serve two six-year “My commitment terms in the Senate is to the people of admirable. Rather than spending a lifetime in Oklahoma has the Senate, rehashing the always been that same viewpoints and becoming increasingly furI would serve no ther removed from conmore than two stituents as time goes on, terms. Our founders restricting the number terms a congressional saw public service of representative can serve, and politics as a seems like a sound move, calling rather than a especially considering Congress’ current 13 percareer.” cent approval rating. Before presidential Sen. Tom Coburn term limits had been established, Thomas Jefferson cautioned, “If some termination to the services of the chief Magistrate be not fixed by the Constitution, or supplied by practice, his office, nominally four years, will in fact become for life.” In 1951, the 22nd Amendment limited presidents to two terms, but it appears Congress needed some term limits as well. Without imposing those same limitations upon the number of Senate terms, the U.S.’s longest-serving senator, Robert C. Byrd, had spent a little over 51 years in office at the time of his death. Six other senators have spent at least 40 years in the Senate, and another 17 senators have served for more than 35 years. The House, however, has the longest serving representative in Congress. Rep. John Dingell, of Michigan’s 12th district, has been in office for about 58 years – a 30-term career, thus far. When a representative’s career begins to span twenty years or more, I question how relevant their decisions are to the people they represent. Both the shifting of personal convictions and disconnection from their voters over time can create a situation in which a person in a position of power could find themselves bowing to ideology or commerce when creating law rather than doing what’s best for the people they represent. In a Congress that sees frequently-returning representatives, an open seat offers the chance for Oklahomans to vote for a different person, a different viewpoint to represent them and hopefully improve the floundering Senate. Additionally, the timing of the special election for the open seat will force any representatives to abdicate their current position before running for the open seat. And, as a state that has had two Republican senators for the past 20 years, an empty GOP spot should attract an interesting array of prospects. With a ballot that includes the gubernatorial election as well as two senate seats, it promises to be a rare interesting midterm election for Oklahoma. Study up on the candidates and remember to vote this November because, in Sen. Coburn’s words, “as dysfunctional as Washington is these days, change is still possible when ‘We the People’ get engaged, run for office themselves or make their voices heard.  After all, how else could a country doctor from Muskogee with no political experience make it to Washington?” Jacqueline Schlasner is a professional writing graduate.

Will shoot for money OU player films trick shots for Hayden’s Hope Ryan Gerbosi

Men’s Basketball Beat Reporter @ryangerbosi

After his first round of finals as a freshman in December 2011, OU guard James Fraschilla tried to find a way to fill his time after practices during winter break. “We didn’t really get to go home for break, so I was just bored,� Fraschilla said. “All we do is practice, and that’s it.� With the extra time in the gym, Fraschilla and his teammates began trying trick shots, leading the Dallas native to turn his boredom into a good cause. On Monday, Fraschilla released his third trick shot video for Hayden’s Hope, an organization raising awareness and funds for pediatric organ donations and transplants. The walk-on guard shot the first video in his spare time, but received plenty of attention, thanks to shots like one from the second level of Lloyd Noble Center and another off the back of a golf cart. The first two editions have been viewed over 88,000 times, surprising Fraschilla and leading him to make the videos a tradition each winter. “I was real surprised. I had never done anything like that before. I started doing it for fun and attached the Hayden’s Hope thing to it,� Fraschilla said. “I just wanted to do it again.� Hayden’s Hope was started in 2011 by ESPN’s Dari Nowkhah, after his newborn son died after not receiving a heart transplant. Fraschilla met Nowkhah, an OU alumnus, through his father, Fran Fraschilla, a former college basketball coach and current colleague of Nowkhah at ESPN. “When I found out about the organization, it was really something I fell in love with,� Fraschilla said. “I put that on the first video. And when it blew up, however many hits

Fraschilla and Knight went on a mission trip to Haiti together in May and are visiting again this year. “I called (Knight) up, and when he got back from San Antonio, we came in here for 30 minutes and got two shots in,� Fraschilla said. With help from Knight and Bilas, Fraschilla is hopeful he can spread Hayden’s Hope and OU basketball even more. “People knew (Knight) before, but after that Sugar Bowl performance, I’m hoping that will help it blow up,“ Fraschilla said. “Football fans who may not know too much about the basketball program will get a look at our facilities, and they’ll see Trevor in it and get some exposure.� Ryan Gerbosi Rgerbosi@ou.edu

Love

Experience the art of dancing through a dancer's’ eyes

A

Sarah Pitts • Life & Arts Reporter

s rehearsals pound on and beads of sweat accumulate on dancers’ foreheads, a black roller and a Tiffany blue journal lean against a dance bag outside of the studio. The 36-inch, black foam roller is the densest of its kind. The pain it brings when massaging out tough muscles can only be found comforting to one type of dancer: the kind that just doesn’t deal with the soft stuff. There are only two things Megan Storey, modern dance performance senior, can’t go a day

without, and that black power massager is one of them. It may all be in her head, but she doesn’t care. She has to have her foam roller with her. In contrast, a spiral journal is the second thing she has not gone a day without, and it’s not because she considers herself as analytical. She needs help to think without feeling overwhelmed, and she just needs to have a place to write down her thoughts. These are Storey’s security blankets.

Every day, dancers face harsh criticism, self-doubt and physical injury. Daily struggles can wear down any soul, making dance one of the most demanding careers. But something even stronger than an intense physical therapy routine and a mentally calming journal keeps Storey persevering. On Jan. 18 of her sophomore year, Storey lost her sister to cancer. The two-year anniversary was Saturday. When dance is worship and faith, her sister is nothing short of a guardian angel. In moments of doubt, Stacey faces the challenges of what to do next, she finds hope in her faith. Storey has faith that she is here for a reason and that she is a dancer for a reason and that she has suffered loss only to gain an angel who keeps her going. She doesn’t have to force motivation and feels natural discipline. “I honestly believe that I was put on this earth to do this,” Storey said as she reflects on why she dances.

She holds herself proudly, sitting behind a plastic tumbler, a paper coffee cup from Cafe Plaid with her curly blonde hair tied low and to the side, opposite of her stud nose ring. She finds strength in her confidence of having a purpose and believes she has been fully equipped with everything she needs to be successful as a dancer. “I’ve never met a more dedicated performer,” said Jennifer Rader, modern dance performance sophomore. “Dance means something to Megan on a whole different level than any human being can possibly comprehend.”

Nineteen years of Storey’s life has been dedicated to dance, ever since her mom put her in dance classes when she was 3. She has been told she was moving to music before she could even walk, so her mom put her in classes as soon as she was able. She grew up dancing at the Classen School of Advanced Studies, which allowed her to declare a dance major. Between classes available at school and studio training, Storey was able to learn ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern, ballroom and even flamenco. Tap, however, is what she considered to be her forte even throughout high school. “I can pick up on musicality much quicker than a lot of other people can,” Storey said. “I hear certain beats and rhythms in the music.”

As graduation looms, she has full intentions of thriving as a performer and has dreams of dancing for a European company. After her performance career, she is interested in working with autistic kids with dance therapy. In the meantime, she rehearses for the Young Choreographers’ Showcase, which will be performed this Thursday through Sunday at the Reynolds Performing Arts Center. Despite what may seem to be a demanding schedule, Storey finds any feedback helpful and takes advantage of practicing her performance even in off-stage settings. Her work ethic is inspiring to peers who look up to Storey’s strong personality traits both on and offstage, Rader said. Storey was fortunate enough to grow up in a state with a university that offers a top dance program, and she took advantage of having that available resource. Storey struggled as a freshman, like any student adjusting to college life would, but with time, she began to find her direction and truly believes she has been prepared to be a successful working dancer. This is something the school of dance strives for and describes in their mission statement.

‘‘

It is rare to find that much talent, true humility and kindess in a person in this art form.” Emily Oliver, Modern Dance Performance Junior

Mexican Restaurant

BEST DEAL!!

Despite being an intensely inspired and determined dancer, she is still a young college student. She has dreams of being published. She bakes signature cupcakes. She helps clean a local yoga studio in exchange for classes. She loves late night Food Network shows. She loves her family. But above all else is her extraordinary love for the life she finds in dance. “It is rare to find that much talent, true humility and kindness in a person in this art form,” said Emily Oliver, modern dance performance junior, about her peer. At a glance, you may see a dancer with strength in musicality, strong grounding and passion for modern contemporary styles, but know that she is driven by something greater than herself. As someone who claims to have no memories before dance, for Megan Storey, dance is life.
