GOVERNMENT
Research projects at risk from shutdown Students and researchers will be unable to submit new proposals for funding STAFF REPORTS
While the government shut down won’t affect federally funded programs at OU in the short term, some faculty 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 compromise couldn’t be reached between the house Republicans and Democrats on a spending bill. Depending on how long the shutdown lasts, federally funded research at OU shouldn’t be affected, Droegemeier said. Because federal research already has been funded by grants, the shutdown won’t affect those researchers much, he said. However, as long as the shutdown lasts, researchers won’t
be able to submit any new proposals and researchers won’t get any new funding. “That’s a pain,” Droegemeier said. Another issue the shutdown presents is that faculty can’t talk to the program officers of their grants, and they can’t make changes in existing grants, like if they need to purchase new equipment, he said. While grant-funded research is only marginally affected in the short term, researchers on federal contracts already SEE SHUTDOWN PAGE 2
TRANSPORTATION

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.
Volunteers provide rides for students Inflating CART fare Exchange students find new avenues of transport SIMENG DAI
Campus Reporter
Many exchange students who don’t have cars are finding it difficult to navigate Norman for basic necessities like groceries, but fortunately various organizations are helping transport them around the city. To counter their transportation issues, many students turn to alternative 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 engineering senior from Germany, 40 minutes to walk to Homeland. “I really didn’t care, and I did need some stuff,” he said. In Germany, most people take the train, he said, so he was used to not driving places. After that experience, though, Rupp said he wouldn’t walk anymore and now biking would be his chosen form of transportation. While some students try to walk or bike given reasonable weather conditions, 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 didn’t 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 environmental 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 didn’t 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 churches help exchange students go to Walmart, including Grace Life Church. Church volunteers take 15 students 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. “Small deeds have huge impacts,” SEE SMALL DEEDS PAGE 2
won’t hurt wallets
Plans to raise fares and upgrade vehicles will have a minor impact on students ARIANNA PICKARD Campus Editor
Student fees will not be affected if the Cleveland Area Rapid Transit’s 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 hasn’t increased in 18 years, to buy new vehicles. “We need the money to replenish our fleet because it’s aging,” Holland said. “They’re 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 service’s funding. The fees won’t officially be raised until after public hearings are held, which probably will take place in November, Holland said. “I believe it’ll have to go in front of the Norman City Council, once those hearings have been held to let residents weigh in,” she said. “It’s not set in stone yet.”

While arrests related to liquor law violations on campus increased by 22 percent last year, arrests related to drug law violations decreased by 34 percent, according to the 2013 Sooner Safety and Fire Report released last week. Liquor law violation arrests 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 drug law violations are published ever y year in the Sooner Safety report, which compiles three years of reported crime offenses and information on fire safety and statistics, said Br uce Chan, OU Police Lieutenant. It also includes information on educational programs regarding substance abuse, sexual harassment and assault policies. Other findings in this year’s report include a jump in reported forcible sex offenses on campus from two in 2010 to eight in 2012. Another increase in on-campus crime was seen in motor vehicle theft from five total reported offenses in 2010 to 11 in 2012, according to the report.

SMALL DEEDS: Groups SHUTDOWN: long-term help meet basic needs issues arise for students Continued from page 1 Jon said. A n o t h e r, A n t i o c h Community Church, has been taking students to Walmart every Sunday for three years, said Crystal Mendez, one of the leaders for Antioch’s Walmart Rides Ministry. Antioch has 12 drivers in total, and eight drivers work every week. They take 30 students per week on average, Mendez said. “It’s always a blessing to help people,” Mendez said. Yesika Ramirez, a computer science senior from C o l o mb i a, ha s g o n e t o Walmart via the Antioch buses several times. “[I] didn’t expect the market 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

are being impacted. So far, some of those researchers have received stop work notices, saying they aren’t 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. “It’s sort of business as usual right now for a few days,” he said. While the shutdown means many government employees are being furloughed, and other federally funded institutions 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, it’s built into the current modern dynamics of our party system,” he said.

EDITORIAL
Congress should be ashamed Our View: The government shutdown is ridiculous and could have been avoided.
As predicted, our government shutdown yesterday. And we’re angry about it. In a letter written yesterday addressing federal employees regarding the shutdown, President Barack Obama explained that Congress has failed to meet its responsibility to pass a budget before the fiscal year that began yesterday. He proceeded by saying “Today, I wanted The Our View is the majority to take a moment to tell you what you mean to me — opinion of The Daily’s and our country.” nine-member If you couldn’t guess, he editorial board went on to express his appreciation and praise for the millions of Americans who are employed by the U.S. government. It’s nice he acknowledged the public, but it’s difficult to believe in words that, at the end of the day, are just blotches of ink on paper. Obama’s 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 haven’t 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 congressmen’s 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 hardworking federally employed workers to stay home and miss days of pay while you tirelessly bicker? At this point, we don’t care what political party looks bad. Do the Republicans look like fools right now? Of course they do. But they aren’t solely responsible for this pitiful corruption in Washington; Democrats are too, including our president. No one
in congress should be paid until the shutdown is over. Congressmen and congresswomen who are responsible 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 politician’s speech may be, we’re not interested to hear anymore. We just want to see our government get its act together and end this ridiculousness that’s costing taxpayers every single day. Congress, we’re speaking to you. Make America your No. 1 priority and listen to us — don’t selfishly shut down the institution we pay you all to run. It’s part of your job to run a successful government. The government never should have to succumb to shutting down — it was ridiculous in 1995, and it’s just as unacceptable now. Our congressmen and congresswomen should have at least devised a temporary plan and make their absolute best efforts to prevent this government shutdown from happening. It’s pathetic enough that on the 123rd anniversary of the founding of Yosemite National Park, it’s closed. But to demonstrate to America and the world your lack of strong leadership, you made our country look bad. Our government clearly wasn’t concerned enough about the consequences entailed in a government shutdown. In the future, properly represent the strong country we can be, or get out of office.

911 should only be used in real emergencies Y
ou’re driving just a OPINION EDITOR 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 Alex Niblett around 2 a.m. when the paralexandra.g.niblett@ou.edu ty’s 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, they’re really not OK. It’s 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 wasn’t 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 I’m older (and a lot more mature) I don’t find it funny at all to prank call the police or call for irrational reasons, and I hope you don’t either. They’re not there to play telephone, they’re 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 McDonald’s 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 cashier’s 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 CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 show on the Ridiculist… and talk about ridiculous. Lesson here is, don’t 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 rollerblading around one of Lloyd Noble’s 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. Alex Niblett is a journalism senior.

pawn shop in Austin. “I’m 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 playing and kicking around. Our group just kind of formed from there and started playing more gigs.” Rare for an independent band with no label experience, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears were signed almost right off the bat. Lewis said the band enjoys having free reign with creativity. “And with this record company, Lost Highway Records, we still have so much creative freedom,” Lewis said. “For now, they really just distribute 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 Lewis’s James Brown-like vocals and screams. “I’d 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 they’re obvious influences, I
still try and do my own thing.” Now that Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears are performing on a more regular basis than when they originally started, Lewis said he is feeling more at home on the stage. “When you’re on stage, you’re not worrying about anything else but performing,” Lewis said. “It’s like that with any aspect of being a performer. When you perform, it’s just that. Even when you’re recording in the studio, you feel like you’re the only person in the world in there.” With the new album out and a slew of performances set for the season, what is next for the blues rockers? “With the new album just out, we’re not thinking too far ahead,” Lewis said. “I mean, we’re always thinking about new songs and things
like that, but right now we’re just gonna chill, have fun with these upcoming performances and ease into whatever’s next.” Bendure said the evening’s 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 reaction to art,” Bendure said. “When the performers are dancing, it’s them responding to the way the artwork made them feel and reinforces that idea of individual experience.” Keaton Bell kildebell@ou.edu

t’s the time of year when those final few dog days of summer transition into the first grey-skied days of fall. By this point, you’re most likely sick of tank tops and one-hundred-degree temperatures. Instead, you’re ready for layers, pumpkin-spiced everything, and Hocus Pocus reruns on ABC Family (or maybe that’s 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, here’s a list of some of our favorite contemporary and classic songs for the perfect fall playlist.

Indie duo Cults has a dreamy sound perfect for fall.
1. Cults, “High Road” — Lush and haunting, “High Roads” finds sets singer Madeline Follin’s lovely, abstracted vocals over a layered guitar landscape. The result is perfect for a rainy autumn day — gray, cold, with leaves scattered across the road. 2. The Black Keys, “Never Gonna Give You Up” — Sounding like it was snatched right out of ’60s R&B, The Black Keys Jerry Butler cover is the only love song you’ll need this fall. 3. Blitzen Trapper, “Shine On” — On the first single from their upcoming album, the “Furr” crooners have churned out what sounds like a bluesy campfire song. 4. Fleet Foxes ,“Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” — Fleet Foxes IS fall. It has delicate harmonies, acoustic guitars and beards. In this song, they’re singing about forests, birds, tall grasses and cold mountain air. You’re welcome. 5. Mountain Man, “Sewee Sewee” — What’s more autumnal than three ladies who call themselves Mountain Man singing stripped-down folk songs? Besides titles like “Buffalo” and “Honeybee,” this gem of a tune will fill your mind with thoughts of tall

grasses, coyote calls and animal tracks (no, really, those are some of the lyrics). 6. Alabama Shakes, “On Your Way” — Brittany Howard’s powerhouse vocals and “bring it on” attitude will prepare you for the harsh winter ahead. 7. First Aid Kit, “Emmylou” — Smooth, uplifting and with a touch of country, “Emmylou” is basically the musical equivalent of your favorite fall sweater. 8. Dum Dum Girls, “Season In Hell” — Summer in Oklahoma really is a “season in hell,” and this moody pop record is a perfect way to cool off as we transition into fall. 9. Sia, “Day Too Soon” — Autumn is a time when love is in full bloom, and what better way to soundtrack it than with Sia’s beautiful ode to second chances?

1. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, “Autumn In New York” — “Glittering crowds and shimmering crowds ... the promise of new love ... gleaming rooftops at sundown.” I dare you to listen to this song without getting a warm fuzzy feeling inside. 2. The Mamas & The Papas, “California Dreamin” — The original folk band delivers a song that makes you nostalgic for the warmth of summer while smothered in the sounds of fall. 3. Simon & Garfunkel, “The Only Living Boy in New York” — These softrock crooners know how to make the best music to relax to, and “New York” is the perfect companion for those cool autumn nights. 4. New Order, “Age of Consent” — The perfect song to listen to while walking in-between classes. A tale of a relationship-gone south, it’s got a bass line so good it plays during the entire five-minute song. Wistful, playful and just plain perfect like the season it so perfectly embodies. 5. Bob Dylan, “Boots of Spanish Leather” — A wonderfully written song
about a complicated world, Dylan’s folk ballad almost seems like it was tailor-made for those lazy fall days. 6. Cass Elliot, “Dream A Little Dream of Me” — Mama Cass has the voice of an angel, and listening to this song makes you feel like she’s personally lulling you to sleep. 7. Sam Cooke, “(What A) Wonderful World” — While most people associate fall music with melancholy, Cooke is bursting with optimism on this scorching soul ballad. 8. The Smashing Pumpkins, “Tonight, Tonight” — Billy Corgan’s scratching vocals pack an emotional punch on this symphonic rock record — one that feels right at home during autumn.

ANALYSIS
Knight could play a bigger role Quarterback could be a good change of pace for Oklahoma JOE MUSSATTO Assistant Sports Editor
Redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Knight wasn’t expected to play in Oklahoma’s win over Notre Dame on Saturday, but on his first of just six plays, the former starter proved his worth. His chance came on OU’s 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-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said he hadn’t yet decided on a backup quarterback, but as Bell left the field, Knight was his replacement. It didn’t take long for the San Antonio native to show the skill that initially won him the starting job. Heupel dialed up a read-option play for Knight’s first snap, and the quarterback executed it perfectly,
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 Knight’s running abilities into the offense and use him as a change of pace quarterback.
sprinting past the Fighting Irish defense for a 30 yard gain — the Sooners’ longest rush of the afternoon. The extra yardage not only reinforced Knight’s comfort in creating plays with his legs, but also exhibited the different styles of OU’s top two quarterbacks. While each has a dual-threat skillset, it’s clear

In OU’s first two games under Knight, plent 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 primarily moved the ball on the ground. Under Bell, the classic
spread aerial attack has returned 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 primary starter moving forward, when Knight is on the field, it’s clear the OU offense changes. But coach Bob
Stoops didn’t admit to a different style of play. “That’s something you can try and muster up,” Stoops said earlier in the season to the media. “We don’t have two offenses.” And right now, the Sooners shouldn’t. Blake Bell has been superb since being named the starter. The junior has led the offense, and his stats back it up: A completion percentage over 70, 683 yards passing and six touchdowns without an interception. In Monday’s press conference, Stoops didn’t 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 implement a set of plays featuring Knight and his uncanny speed in the position. There is no quarterback controversy in Norman, but look for Knight to be reincorporated in the offense as another wrinkle to worry opposing defenses. Joe Mussatto jmussatto@ou.edu

game look? Obviously, what stands out is the way OU started the game: two interceptions,with one returned for a touchdown. However, those plays only gave Oklahoma the lead.
