HOMECOMING
Week of fun to encourage spirit at OU
Activities based on the “Drawn Together by Tradition” theme will occur all week
RACHAEL MONTGOMERY Campus Reporter
After months of planning, pomping and building, the time has come for students to unite in a week of spirit-building competitions, activities and free food, culminating in the annual homecoming game. Student organizations have been planning since last semester around the theme “Drawn Together by Tradition.” Organizations chose any animated movie, comic or TV show to represent their group, said Kassidy Cook, CAC homecoming chair and petroleum engineering senior. “The goal is to bring campus to life,” Cook said. The week leading up to the game will begin with the annual banner competition Monday, in which groups that are often paired together, such as a fraternity with a sorority, design a banner that represents their theme but also incorporates OU. The banners are then hung up on the Oklahoma Memorial Union parking lot for alumni and the panel of judges to see, according to the CAC University of Oklahoma Homecoming 2013 Representative Handbook. There will also be a benefit night at Chipotle on Campus Corner Monday night, according to the handbook. The next activity is the South Oval board competition that will begin Tuesday morning, according to the handbook. Taylor Grant, Chi Omega president and multidisciplinary studies senior, said she and her sorority have been preparing for the South Oval board competition since the spring. Chi Omega has been paired with the Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Nu fraternities to participate in the homecoming competitions. Their theme this year is “The Lorax,” which they will be incorporating into all of their activities. Royalty voting will also begin Tuesday, according to the handbook. Wednesday’s activities will include the Homecoming Hold-Up at noon on the South Oval. During the holdup, participating groups nominate one person from each SEE FESTIVITY PAGE 2

Sooners can learn about issues dealt with by members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community from various OU professors on Tuesday. Sociology, history, political science and anthropology professors will discuss different aspects of the GLBT community, said Kasey Catlett, the graduate assistant for OU’s LGBTQ Advisory Board. “The professors focus on different areas. We want to make sure a diverse group of faculty join the discussion,” Catlett said. Anthropology professor Tassie Hirschfeld covers some gender and sexuality issues in her classes, and this will be her first time participating in an LGBTQ panel discussion. She said she’s met a number of GLBT students since she’s been teaching at OU, and many of them have had

The world doesn’t seem so large and intimidating to Nelisiwe Mtembu, who attended a United World College school in South Africa before coming to OU. “The best part of UCW is … you can go to different parts of the world, and you know that you have a friend there,” Mtembu said. “You can just pick up your phone, call somebody, hang out.” Mtembu is one of 87 students from United World College programs around the world at OU this year, said Craig Hayes, coordinator of the Davis United World College Scholars Program. Created after the Cold War era to instill values of peace and cross-country collaboration, United World College schools are attended by students aged two to 19 in Europe, Africa Asia, North America and Central America, according to the college’s website.

OU partners with the Davis United World College Scholars Program, which was created 13 years ago to encourage U.S. colleges a n d u n i ve rsi t i e s to a ccept international students from United World College schools, Hayes said. “Most of the Davis Program partners are private colleges/universities, so this makes OU winning the Davis Cup even more significant,� Hayes said. OU is one of 91 universities and colleges partnering with the Davis Program, which includes Ivy League schools like Yale University,
Sigma Phi Epsilon. “Each week has been different, but for the most part pomping and building has taken up most of our time,� Chapin said. Pomping involves bunching up tissue paper and gluing it to the structures that hold up the float, such as chicken wire or wooden boards, according to the handbook. Finally, winners of all the past week’s competitions and the homecoming king and queen will be announced at halftime at Saturday’s game.

klahoma’s 34-19 win over Kansas was scary at times, especially in the first quarter. The Sooners eventually woke up from their post-Texas hangover, but their issues did raise a few questions about the Oklahoma team.
FIRST QUARTER FAILURE Oklahoma came out flat to start the game. After a quick first down, its drive stalled. Next thing we know, Kansas running back James Sims is tearing apart the Sooners’ defense. Suddenly, Oklahoma found itself down 7-0 in the first quarter. Overall, Oklahoma couldn’t find any momentum on either side of the ball. Junior quarterback Blake Bell (pictured right) couldn’t move the ball through the air, and the running back committee couldn’t carry the entire weight of the offense.

DEFENSE SAVES THE DAY
Somewhere in the second quarter, the defense found its rhythm. It shut Kansas down after that, and the Jayhawks finished with only 201 total yards. While some may be panicking about the OU defense, it currently ranks No. 9 in the nation in total defense and scoring defense and No. 4 in pass efficiency defense. However, the Sooners rank No. 43 in rushing. Since sophomore defensive tackle Jordan Phillips’ injury, there have been some problems with the rushing defense. Freshman tackle Jordan Wade (shown left) has not been able to step up in Phillips’ absence.
SPECIAL TEAM MISHAPS Saturday saw a slew of special teams mistakes. Oklahoma gained six points off Kansas’ mistakes in the kicking game. Oklahoma blocked a punt for a safety, senior defensive back Aaron Colvin (pictured right) returned an extra point for a safety, and Kansas missed two extra points, overall. In addition, Oklahoma also missed an extra point and had a punt blocked.

OPINION
CALLING FOR CHANGE After the first quarter, many started questioning Bell’s effectiveness as a quarterback. Though, Bell finally got the job done in the second half, it didn’t satiate Sooner Nation’s hunger to see sophomore Kendal Thompson (pictured left) enter the game. Others called for redshirt freshman Trevor Knight to go under center, so he could learn. While fans seem divided on who should be quarterback, one thing is for sure, they aren’t happy and want change.
MILLARD’S INVOLVEMENT Senior fullback Trey Millard(pictured right) is the do-it-all player for Oklahoma. He can run the ball, catch the ball, block and in the absence of a tight end, he can line up there, too. So far this season, Millard has been used mainly as a blocker to pick up an extra defender on a blitz. On Saturday, he finally got the ball in his hands a little bit more. He recorded three runs for 36 yards and caught two passes for 13 yards.

Put your best foot forward and strive to excel. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Not everyone will be able to keep a secret. Don’t share personal information and you will avoid becoming the topic of conversation. Follow a dream and explore new endeavors. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your generosity can be your downfall. Offer love, affection and hands-on help, not your hard-earned cash. Emotions will surface and demands will be made, but you must be strictly practical. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’ll learn something valuable if you mingle with people who have expertise you’d like to tap into. Ask questions and share your thoughts to attract an interesting offer.

STUDENT LIFE
Campus preachers cross lines Homecoming Prize Wheel: Today marks the first day of Homecoming Week. Go to Oklahoma Memorial Union’s first floor lobby for a chance to spin the Happy Homecoming Prize Wheel. The event lasts from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Religious visitors cause discomfort BRIANA HALL LIFE & ARTS REPORTER Though some students gather around the self-proclaimed preachers that invade the South Oval, the majority of students have learned to walk past the taunting. While this taunting is, according to some, an appropriate exercise of the preachers’ rights to freedom of speech, their speech seems to have increasingly negative effects on students. Dylan Cunningham, University College freshman, has recently expressed his disdain for one preacher on campus by twerking in the middle of the man’s rant, said he believes these negative effects are serious. “I definitely think it could greatly bother people, and I really don’t feel like that’s under freedom of speech,” Cunningham said. “I don’t understand why the university allows them to stay.” These effects, which can be long-lasting, beg the question of whether the preachers presence on campus is free speech or actually a public disturbance and perhaps even harassment. When Cunningham decided to twerk in front of the preacher in effort to draw attention from the man and show people that they shouldn’t waste their energy on him, he noticed the man was visibly bothering the crowd around him. “I was listening to him talk, and he was making everybody mad, and it was bothering me because it doesn’t m a k e G o d l o o k g o o d ,” Cunningham said. Remembering the day, Cunningham said, “He was literally just yelling at anyone, and he told this one kid who was wearing pink shorts that he was a faggot going to hell.” That same kid wearing pink shorts is a University College freshman named Timothy Crisp who has, thereafter, learned to deal with the harassment of at least one of the preachers on campus. Crisp recalled his encounter with the preacher called Gary in a laughable way, though he does admit that Gary’s comments did negatively affect him at first. While walking down the South Oval, Crisp said he had consciously decided to walk past the preacher man in order to not give him the attention that, Crisp believed, he was looking for in his speech. Yet, Crisp said he was surprised to see Gary pointing straight at him as he walked by, yelling across the crowd.
Tuesday Noon Concert: Relax in the middle of the day with a Tuesday Noon Concert featuring Professor Gregory Lee playing the violin. The event goes from noon to 12:30 p.m. in Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art’s Sandy Bell Gallery. UPB Mid Day Music: Listen to some tunes while grabbing lunch in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Will Rogers Food Court. Connor McBryde will provide the musical talent for the Union Programming Board’s Mid Day Music series from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Trombone Choir: OU’s School of Music will present a Trombone Choir at 8 p.m. in Catlett Music Center’s Sharp Concert Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Fuego Friday: OU’s School of Art & Art History will host it’s annual Fuego Friday Iron Pour. The location is still to be determined. See the OU Daily later this week for details. CHRIS JAMES/THE DAILY
A preacher speaks with a student on the south oval. Some students believe the preachers bring too much negative speech to the university.
“That faggot right there in knew I would know the right the pink shorts is going to thing to say.” Finding comfort in the hell, because only faggots would wear pink shorts,” the very religion that he was viciously and publicly accused preacher said.

inappropriate and harsh, it gives students a chance to stand up for their beliefs in the face of ignorant criticisms. “I’m upset that he would do it, but it’s something that is allowing kids to stand up and speak for themselves, which is a great thing that we need to learn,” Crisp said. “It gives kids on campus a chance to step up and grow a backbone — start using our political rights that we have as a country.” Cunningham, who pointed out that slurs against homosexuality are often overlooked when it comes to state institutions halting cases of harassment, still said he believes in upholding people’s rights to express their views. “I think he should be able to express his religious and political beliefs, but I don’t think he should be allowed to use vulgarity while doing so,” Cunningham said. In the meantime, students can only mirror people like Cunningham and Crisp who have stood up against the negative effects that these preachers have on students. Cunningham, looking back on his twerking, recalled the audience’s reaction when “all the cheering and roaring drowned out what he had to say.”
Tomato Dodge 5K: The Tomato Dodge combines a fun run with a tomato food fight. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. See tomatododge.com for more details on registration.
