F ro m m u s i c i a n s t o presidential candidates, the biannual Groovefest brought together people from various backgrounds Sunday at Andrews Park. Groovefest is the long e s t- r u n n i n g h u m a n rights music festival in the world, according to the OU chapter of Amnesty International. The festival is a good outlet for human rights awareness, chapter president Paul Schaettle said. “Seeing the Norman c o m mu n i t y c o m e to gether for many different causes, all in the same spectrum, is awesome,” Schaettle said. A sprawling path wound through the festival booths, some glittering with stained glass jewelry and others littered with fliers and information. The booths looked down on a amphitheater and centered on a stage, where local bands showcased their talent and young human rights advocates promoted their causes with speeches and monologues. At $10 for a booth slot, the festival was more about raising awareness and community involvement than making money s a i d L i n d s e y Ma r t i n , owner of the Scissortail School of Art in downtown Norman who ran a jewelry booth at the festival. “The festival might not bring in a lot for me in sales, but it’s just fun to come out and be with the community,” Martin said.

Spending time at a U.S. university doesn’t always bridge the gap between college life and a U.S. family experience, but OU’s exchange students are trying to find that missing piece with host families. O U ’s F r i e n d s t o International Students program offers exchange students the opportunity to develop relationships with volunteering American families they don’t live with. Families serve as hosts for
one semester, but can continue for the full academic year, according to the program’s website. B e n e d i kt Ka c z m a r, a German aerospace engineering graduate student, said he got involved so he could get a closer look at real American culture. “I really like my host family, and the fact that we are several exchange students in the same family, we all get really close very rapidly,” Kaczmar see HOST PAGe A2

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Football belongs on field, not in class As OU-Texas nears, I’m reminded again of the one thing I really detest about this university: the fact that football is the most important and pervasive thing on campus. The week of our first football game, one of the players was ineligible, but he got cleared to play. When his name was announced at the beginning of the game, the crowd of 85,000 went wild.
I couldn’t help but think, “Not only does this guy who almost wasn’t even eligible to play get the praise of 85,000 people on the football field, but he also gets it in my classroom — the place on campus that is supposed to be focused on students and their education.” You see, the first week of class, three out of my five professors took time out of class to
talk about OU football. Now don’t get me wrong, I love OU football. I am a season-ticket holder and will make my way down to Dallas this weekend for the game. So what’s the problem? The problem is by bringing football into the classroom, you completely demean students by making them feel like whatever they’re doing is less important than football.

Assassination violates our Constitution
W
ith the asOPINION COLUMNIST sassination of Anwar al-Awlaki, the United States enjoyed a military victory at the expense of its constitutional principles. Awlaki, a American citizen of Yemeni deSteven Zoeller scent, was killed Friday stevenv.zoeller@gmail.com in Yemen, where he had been in hiding since 2007, by a Predator drone without any attempt at capture or any attempt at due process of law. Yes, he was a terrorist. But he was also an American citizen, which means he was entitled to certain rights. That fact alone should be a point of serious concern. So I’m not accused of playing down Awlaki’s crimes, let’s be clear that he wasn’t a good guy. In life, he was popularly named the “bin Laden of the Internet” for his vast online presence, which spanned popular websites such as YouTube and Facebook. He was a charismatic man, skilled at luring disillusioned youth to al-Qaida and motivating them to carry out acts of terrorism. Awlaki is commonly associated with the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, the attempted Christmas 2009 underwear bombing and the attempted car bombing of Times “It was wrong, Square in 2010. but at least It’s not hard to imagine a conceivable, that generic terrorist being hunted our government mercilessly for his connection those incidents. However, might hold captive to the fact that Awlaki possessed foreigners without United States citizenship makes his case surreal, to say appeal, but it the least. boggles the mind As officials reportedly told to know now that The New York Times in 2010, “it not even the title is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an American to be of ‘citizen’ can approved for targeted killing.” protect us now.” As constitutional lawyer Glenn Greenwald boldly said in his Salon column last week, “the due-process-free assassination of U.S. citizens is now a reality.” Such a proclamation as Greenwald’s might seem reactionary at first, but after one allows it to sink in, they will realize it contains nothing factually wrong. Simply put, the president of the United States ordered for an American citizen, like you or me, to be killed. Accordingly, he was blown up without due process. Whether or not this breach of the Fifth Amendment was justified is the subject of fierce debate on the blogosphere. Plenty of people take Greenwald’s position that the assassination was an outrage or at the very least an uncomfortable exercise of government power. Quite a few others, however, are willing to cut the Obama administration some slack. The latter crowd likes to emphasize that Awlaki was a clear and present danger, and like a man firing a gun in public, he had already surrendered his right to due process. This line of argument is at times persuasive, but not enough to ease the queasy feeling left in the stomachs of American citizens like myself. It was wrong, but at least conceivable, that our government might hold captive foreigners without appeal, but it boggles the mind to know now that not even the title of “citizen” can protect us now. At best, this sets an uneasy precedent and a further step towards authoritarianism. Don’t bother asking what this means at worst. Steven Zoeller is a journalism sophomore.
OU wasn’t founded just to have a great football team. It was founded to provide hardworking young people with excellent educations. And you know, I get it. OU football is a big deal.

OU shut out in weekend games Sooners scoreless in Big 12 openers against OSU, Tech TOBI NEIDY
Sports Reporter
Oklahoma soccer isn’t off to the conference start it had hoped for. The Sooners (5-8, 0-2 Big 12) fell to Texas Tech, 2-0, on Sunday in Norman after holding the shot advantage for much of the game but failing to produce a goal. OU lost its conference opener to No. 2 Oklahoma State, 3-0, on Friday. “We’re not finishing opportunities, and we’re having to chase games because we’re giving up an early goal,” OU coach Nicole Nelson said. “We’re creating a lot of opportunities, but the end product is not there. We have to score goals to win games.” The four-game losing streak is the longest for the Sooners since 2009, when OU dropped four conference games in the month of October. Last season, the Sooners found a way to neutralize every loss with a win in the next outing. “We have to finish the chances because we don’t get a lot of clear cut chances, and we just got to put them away at the end of the day,” junior forward Dria Hampton said. “The attack has to finish, but it’s tough to chase games, too.” The teams split a pair of early shots in the game, each following fouls. Hampton took a shot in the seventh minute that was blocked by the Tech defensive line inside the box. That seemed to be the story of the weekend for the Sooner offense, which failed to score a goal in either of the weekend’s games. “We just can’t catch a b re a k ,” j u n i o r f o r w a rd Caitlin Mooney said. “We started off the season scoring a lot of goals, and we just have to get settled down and start scoring.” The OU attack led all but the last 10 minutes in shots on goal, finishing the game with 14 shots. But it was Texas Tech that did all the damage inside the net. Tech’s Jessica Disabella scored on an unassisted shot in the 36th minute to give the Red Raiders the lead before halftime. Red Raider Jessica Fuston followed with a goal in the 66th minute following a
possible offsides call that didn’t go the Sooners’ way. But the team didn’t let that hurt its attacking opportunities. Midway through the second half, the Sooners put together an offensive attack that saw five shots and two corners in just over six minutes of action. Hampton and Mooney combined for five of the shots, while Petrikin’s header went wide. “It just takes one to really open the flood gates with this team,” Nelson said. “We put together a really sharp attack; the end product is just lacking. We’ll go back to work and do a lot of finishing this week and hope we can get that first one in.” On the defensive side, Sooner keeper Kelsey Devonshire was forced to make six saves during the game. After recording six shutouts each in her first two seasons at OU, the North Richland Hills, Texas, native has only been able to register one shutout this season (BYU). Devonshire also played 47 minutes in a shutout against A l a b a ma - Bi r m i n g ha m, splitting time with reserves Tori Rocke and Lisa Jett. With both weekend losses, Devonshire fell to 3-8 for the year. “We have to stay positive and encourage everyone,” Mooney said. “We have a lot of leaders on this team looking to step up. A lot of moments when we’re down, we get quiet. We just have to keep talking and keep motivating.” Ne xt u p, t h e S o o n e rs travel to face Texas at 7 p.m. Friday in Austin. Last year’s 2-1 win in double overtime was the first by a Sooner team in Austin. “We’ve had a rough two weeks, but it can only go up from here,” Hampton said.

“We really need to focus on a good week of training, fixing mistakes here and there and taking advantage of an opportunity to go on the road and beat a very good Texas team.” “We have the talent and the potential — we just need to put it together for a whole game.”

Films impress at annual screening Life & Arts Columnist

hat do a failed bank robbery, a haunting urban legend, an abandoned baby, a comical misunderstanding and a pair of missing teeth have in common? As unrelated as they seem, these elements describe the unique narratives of a collection of films screened this weekend at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art as part of the 13th annual Manhattan Short Film Festival. This event, founded by director Nicholas Mason, showcases the extraordinary talents of filmmakers around the globe, artistically illustrating the concerns of their environment. Nearly 600 film entries from 48 countries were dwindled down to 10 finalists whose work proved to be most

affecting. Each year, the festival organizers designate a week to screening the selected finalists’ work in places all across the world. Following the screening, audiences engage in a voting poll, selecting their favorite film from the series. This year,
the countries Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary, Egypt, Peru, Scotland, Canada and the United States took center stage. While rather concise and not especially lengthy, the films on display were brilliantly composed. Revealing elements of
biting humor, painful realism and intimate feelings, the screened films were nothing short of exhilarating. Each entry painted a vivid portrait of people, places and cultures not regularly given the time of day. Some of the more notable titles include “Martyr
Friday,” “Incident By A Bank,” “Mak,” “A Doctor’s Job,” “The Forest” and “David and Goliath.” These titles tackled a myriad of issues involving social injustice, criminality, the horrors and heartbreak of unwanted pregnancy, mental illness, abduction and the aftermath of the Holocaust. Egyptian director Abu Bakr Shawky’s “Friday” about the 2011 uprising in Cairo was most impressive, demonstrating a strong visual sense and compelling storytelling. However, the festival was not dedicated to merely dismal and call-to-action affairs. The films “I Love Luci,” “The Legend of Beaver Dam,” “Dik” and “Sexting” inspired several honest, painful and uproarious laughs. Canadian directors Jerome Sable and Eli Batalion’s “Dam” was particularly side-splitting. The
film, in which a group of Boy Scouts who summon a malicious monster in the woods after chanting its name around a bonfire, takes a clever plot and peppers it with sharp visuals, grisly violence, campy humor and irresistible melodies. The festival proved art is a universal language that has the power to visualize and call attention to the troubles of the world. Each film, however brief, was a poignant slice of life, showcasing each culture’s heartbreak, resilience and compassion for humanity. The shorts premiered at the festival accomplished all the above with startling clarity. A gold medal will go to the first place winner, a silver will go to second place and a bronze will go to third place, according to the festival’s website. Laron Chapman is a film and media studies senior.

HOROSCOPE By Bernice Bede Osol
Copyright 2011, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
MONDAY, OCT. 3, 2011 There are strong indications that the year ahead could be an extremely rewarding one for you both materially and socially. However, strive to lead a balanced life so that each area can develop in ways that complement one another. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Check your sources once again if there is something for which you’ve long been searching but haven’t yet found. Your persistent quest might finally reach a satisfactory end. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your views and opinions will have a greater impact on those whom you counsel than you may realistically expect. Don’t hesitate to give advice when asked.
Previous Solution
Monday- Very Easy Tuesday-Easy Wednesday- Easy Thursday- Medium Friday - Hard
Instructions: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although you may have thought those financial seeds you recently planted had gone to the winds, you might be pleasantly surprised by signs of sprouting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- New challenges can be conquered if you draw upon what you’ve learned from similar experiences in the past. Don’t hesitate to put this new knowledge to work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you have something good to contribute, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make your presence felt. However, do so in ways that won’t make others view you as a right boor. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Because hopeful, new conditions are stirring on the horizon, it is
important for you to stay in close touch with valuable contacts. You never know who might throw something your way. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you take it upon yourself to utilize all the assets at your disposal, you can get past any problems that might arise. It’s going to be up to you to capitalize on your advantages. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have a gift of knowing instinctively how to put everyone at ease. Even though you won’t play favorites, each person will go away feeling he or she received special attention. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Instinctively you’ll know how to improve your material circumstances without expecting any miracles. You’ll understand that all it takes is dedication and perseverance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- At this juncture, it’s safer to put more stock in your own judgment than in the views of others. Your ability to evaluate developments and draw conclusions is remarkably accurate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Financial prospects look exceptionally good for you, not because of luck, but because of your own ability to derive gains from multiple sources and endeavors. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The answer to whether or not someone to whom you’re attracted is just as interested in you may finally come. You’ll quickly find the answer by simply spending time in each other’s company.
