PHOTOS OF SOME ARTWORKS DESCRIBED IN STORY PROVIDED BY THE FRED JONES JR. MUSEUM OF ART WEBSITE
OU museum houses forty pieces with Nazi connections from WWII A
fter OU was sued for housing a piece of art that was looted by Nazis during World War II, The Daily discovered that the university’s museum currently has 40 pieces of art with Nazi connections. PAIGHTEN HARKINS DIGITAL MANAGING EDITOR @PAIGHTEN HARKINS The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art currently has 40 pieces of art with Nazi provenance, according to the Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal and confirmed in a statement from OU officials in an email from OU press secretary Corbin Wallace. The Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal is a searchable database of items in U.S. museums that could have ties to Nazi Germany during the times when Nazis were looting art from occupied countries. The Nazi era is typically considered between 1933 and 1945, when World War II ended. To be added to the registry, a piece must have been created before 1946 and acquired by the museum after 1932, changed owners between 1932 and 1946 and it must have been in continental Europe during those years, according to the database’s website. The database stores information from 175 self-reporting museums. The database is a registry of 29,031 individual items with Nazi provenance. The piece involved in the lawsuit is a painting by French impressionist Camille Pissarro, “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep (La bergère rentrant des moutons).” Leone Meyer filed suit against OU in May 2013 to reclaim the painting, which was stolen from her family by Nazis occupation forces and the Vichy Regime in Nazi-occupied France sometime
LEGISLATION
between 1940 and 1944. “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep” was donated to the Fred Jones museum by Aaron and Clara Weitzenhoffer in 2000. Aaron and Clara Weirzenhoffer are the parents of OU Regent Max Weitzenhoffer. The Weitzenhoffer College of Fine Arts is named after the family, which has been a longtime university donor. Some of the items with Nazi provenance in the museum include “Portrait of Alexander Reid” by Vincent van Gogh, “Riverbank at Lavacourt (La Berge à Lavacourt)” by Claude Monet and three other pieces by Pissarro: “Nude with Swans,” a lithograph of “Nude with Swans” and “The Meadow at Eragny (Le Pré à Eragny),” according to the database. All of those pieces were donated by the Weitzenhoffers. The statement said many pieces in the museum’s collections are gifts to the museum, and all pieces reported on the database were gifts.
Nazi-era provenance and museums
provenance in American museums, Blanton said. During the economic boom, many wealthy Americans began collecting art, which was now available in large quantities after the war. OU’s statements echoed Blanton’s, but it added that before the mid-’70s record keeping was inconsistent for the pieces that flowed into the U.S. after World War II, meaning many of the wealthy Americans who bought these suspect artworks were unclear of the art’s origins. In many cases, like in the case with “Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep,” the piece’s new owners died and the works were donated to museums like Fred Jones Jr., Blanton said. The portal was created for just that reason, Blanton said. The portal serves a two-fold purpose: to help museums that may have art with Nazi-era provenance and to help heirs find pieces looted from their families. “It’s not easy work. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of investigative work that goes into this,” Blanton said. When asked how OU specifically deals with art after finding it has Nazi-era provenance, the statement said the museum uses donor-completed and provided provenance research. If museum officials find it necessary, they will conduct additional provenance research. The statement said that museum officials are unaware of any pieces of art “that have established ownership other than in the university or the OU Foundation.”
Because of the breadth of art looting during the Nazi era, it is fairly common for museums to have some pieces of art in their collections with some Nazi provenance, said Dewey Meyer’s suit against the university prompted criticism Blanton, American Alliance of Museums strategic commufrom community members and lawmaker Mike Reynolds, nications director. who warned of future lawsuits regarding the different pieces The looting, which confused the provenance of many of Nazi-era provenance art housed at Fred Jones Jr. pieces of art by switching hands so many times, and the economic boom for the U.S. following World War II are two SEE ART PAGE 2 factors that contribute to the prevalence of art with Nazi-era

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
Affirmative consent policy considered Newly elected SGA Student congress to gauge student interest in changing sexual misconduct policy DANA BRANHAM News Reporter @danabranham
OU’s Undergraduate Student congress will gauge student interest in adopting an affirmative consent policy after California lawmakers recently passed similar legislation. Earlier this year, California passed a statewide law requiring all its colleges and universities to adopt affirmative consent policies: policies that require “affirmative, conscious and voluntary” agreement from all parties before engaging in sexual activity, according to the bill’s text. Affirmative consent policies are often referred to as “yes-means-yes” policies, while policies like OU’s are “nomeans-no” policies. As OU’s sexual misconduct, discrimination and harassment policy defines consent, “‘no’ must always mean ‘no,’ and the absence of ‘no’ does not mean yes.” With reported cases of sexual assault on the rise over the last few years —both at OU and nationwide — Daniel Pae, Undergraduate Student Congress academic affairs chairperson, said OU should consider adopting an affirmative consent policy.

A university should be safe and encouraging environment for all students, and they shouldn’t feel threatened or be threatened by anyone.” DANIEL PAE, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT CONGRESS ACADEMIC AFFAIRS CHAIRPERSON
Pae said he would like to survey the student body to gauge support for that kind of policy change and, depending on the results, work with OU administration to see if they’re open to a policy change. Because the policy could broadly impact OU, Pae, a political science and economics sophomore, said he wants to see what issues students might disagree on in relation to an affirmative consent policy. “We’d mostly want to know: do you support a change from ‘no-means-no’ to ‘yes-means-yes’ in the university policy, and I think that’d be the main question,” Pae said.

officers announced Kunal Naik to become SGA president and Alex Byron to be vice president PAGE JONES News Reporter @pageousm
Kunal Naik and Alex Byron have been elected as the president and vice president of Student Government Association after running uncontested. During his first days in office, Naik said he wants to focus on learning about what his predecessor, Matt Epting, did for OU, making sure those policies and programs are sustainable and combining them with his own innovative policies. “I’m really proud of the work that me and Alex and our team did and I’m really excited to get started,” Naik said. About 5.3 percent of the student population voted in this year’s presidential elections, an improvement from last spring’s uncontested election’s 2 percent voter turn out, said Taylor Petersen, election board chairperson. Petersen said he is happy with the turnout because of the improvement and because uncontested races generally don’t have high numbers. SEE SGA PAGE 2

DOCUMENTARY
Film to tell stories of veterans Co-creator Gaylord professor to speak after film showing CAITLIN SCHACHTER News Reporter
With Veteran’s Day less than a week away, tonight students can watch a documentary that honors U.S. veterans and hear from a woman who helped create it. G a y l o rd C o l l e g e w i l l be holding a screening of the award-winning documentary “Veteran’s Day 11.11.11” at 6:30 p.m. in Gaylord Hall’s Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation Auditorium, according to a press release. Suzanne Popovich Chandler, broadcast and electronic media professor, was part of the group of photographers and videographers who worked on the film, according to the press release. Only 15 of 40 stories were selected for the final documentary, and Popovich Chandler’s was among them, according to the press release. The film follows various veterans through one day and illustrates what it’s like to be a veteran, according to the press release. “It is an exploration of history from Civil War to present day conflicts through the eyes of people who lived it,” Popovich Chandler said. The film features 15 profiles, which are woven together by a panel of five veterans who discuss common themes, Popovich Chandler

said. Veterans narrate the entire documentary in their own words with no additional script, Popovich Chandler said. This style of documentary is compelling because it allows the audience to feel close to the people in the film, and it shows that effective storytelling doesn’t have to be over-produced, Popovich Chandler said. The contributors of the film used their own equipment and often paid their own travel expenses to capture veterans’ stories, though their work was not guaranteed a spot in the film, according to the press
release. “When an audience l e a r n s [ Ve t e ra n ’s Day ] 11.11.11 was made totally by volunteers to honor our servicemen and women by a collection [of ] award winning storytellers, my hopes are that the film inspires students interested in filmmaking and multimedia journalism to develop their storytelling skills, go out into their lives and communities and share stories students care about,” Popovich Chandler said in an email. Popovich Chandler said she hopes students who attend the screening can have an impact on others
by telling stories that mean a lot to them, Popovich Chandler said. At past screenings, veterans have thanked Popovich Chandler for her work, often with hugs and tears, she said. “When students study the craft of visual storytelling, use technology at their fingertips and combine their vision with their hearts, students can and do make a difference in other p e o p l e’s l i ve s t h rou g h media,” Popovich Chandler said in an email.

CONSENT: OU looks at changing assault policy Continued from page 1 Pae said that affirmative consent supporters believe the policies are more declarative and distinguish more clearly between consent and non-consent, while critics say the policy change would put more blame on the accused in the event of sexual assault. Should the student body choose to adopt an affirmative consent policy, the Student Congress and the Graduate Student Senate would work together to write a concurring resolution to present to the administration, Pae said. In the meantime, however, Pae said he wants to hear from students and organizations about their stance on OU adopting an affirmative consent policy — “They can also be co-sponsors on the resolution, if they wish,” he said. While it’s uncertain whether affirmative consent policies like California’s would be welcomed at OU, Pae said that because they affect students’ safety, they are important to consider. “A university should be a safe and encouraging environment for all students, and they shouldn’t feel threatened or be threatened by anyone,” Pae said. “Any possible remedy to make our campus safer and better for every student should be strongly considered.” Dana Branham, branham.dana@gmail.com

ART: Resignation not connected to lawsuit Continued from page 1 Since then, Emily Neff, former museum director, resigned on Oct. 15 after serving in the position since January 2014. OU President David Boren said her resignation is not linked to the lawsuit. Following Neff’s resignation, Reynolds sent a letter to the American Alliance of Museums, formally known as the American Association of Museums, requesting an investigation into Fred Jones Jr. because of potential violations to the association’s ethics and standards code. Reynolds also sent a letter to Boren asking him to clarify the circumstances surrounding Neff’s resignation, which came a day after Reynolds had asked the university to clarify its position involving the painting. In May, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed Meyer’s suit with the university for lack of personal jurisdiction, since the case involved people living in Oklahoma, not New York where the case was based, according to provided court documents.

OUR VIEW
Sooners should vote in Oklahoma Our View: We urge all OU students to take their
voting rights seriously and encourage out-of-state students to register to vote in Oklahoma.
Tuesday’s midterm elections may be over, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stop thinking about politics. In fact, voter turnout in Oklahoma was so depressingly low Our View is that we feel compelled to clarify the majority opinion of voter registration options to our felThe Daily’s low students so they might particinine-member pate in future elections. editorial board Only 41.6 percent of registered Cleveland County voters cast ballots in Tuesday’s elections. Less than half of the registered voters in our county cared enough to actually make their voice count. We’ve heard outrage from Oklahomans both around campus and on social media about the outcomes of the midterm elections. Instead of lamenting four more years of Gov. Mary Fallin, turn your unhappiness with the election into positive action for the future. Voters ages 18 to 29 made up only 13 percent of the national electorate on Tuesday. We understand midterm elections might not have the glamour and hype of presidential elections, but they are still critical in determining the nation’s leadership. Republicans dominated Oklahoma and the midterm elections in general, yet young voters chose Democratic candidates by a 13-point margin or 55 to 42 percent. Voters under 30 did not make their voices heard Tuesday, and the resulting sea of red proves it. We encourage all Sooners to vote, and we also
urge out-of-state students to change their voter registration to vote in Oklahoma. There is a lot of confusion among college students who leave their home states for school about where and how they can vote. We believe confusing and complicated voter registration laws hinder young voters, especially college students. Students can register to vote in Oklahoma while maintaining residency in their home state. Transferring your voter registration to Oklahoma will not qualify you for in-state tuition and it will not require you to change your driver’s license or car title. Registering to vote in Oklahoma simply means you live in Oklahoma and want to vote where you live. We believe it’s more valuable to change your registration to vote in the state where your college is located than to rely on remembering to request and fill out absentee ballots. Even if you’re not from Oklahoma, if you’re an OU student you will likely MORE INFO spend nine months out State Election of the year or longer in Board address Oklahoma, so Oklahoma politics will directly affect PO Box 53156 you.

an Oklahoma voter registration form and send it to the State Election Board at least 24 days prior to an election. After you register to vote in Oklahoma, it’s critical to research and select candidates you truly believe in, don’t just vote straight-party or vote for candidates because your parents or friends are voting for them. Voting is a right and a privilege — a privilege that deserves critical attention and care. We call on OU students to register to vote in Oklahoma, the state where they will generally live for at least four years. If more OU students — whom we know are smart and capable young citizens — get involved in Oklahoma politics, it might be just the force necessary to elect candidates that represent our demographic.

As for the Sooners, they were finally able to let loose last week in their 59-14 rout of Iowa State. Knight broke free from the chains that were holding him back in the run game. That part of Knight’s game will be crucial in the outcome of Saturday’s contest. However, that task will be much tougher against the Bears, as they rank second in the Big 12 in rushing defense with 121.2 yards allowed per game. Oklahoma expects to get sophomore running back Keith Ford back this week after missing the past five games with a leg injury. “He was close Saturday,� coach Bob Stoops said. “When you’ve got to make those sudden cuts and all, if they’re not at 100 percent it’s not going to work. So we didn’t feel he was 100 percent.� Co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said Ford has looked better in practice this week and will see how he
feels as Saturday creeps closer. Oklahoma also expects junior wide receiver Sterling Shepard to be back after injuring his groin on the first play in the win against Iowa State. A win would be huge for the Sooners, putting them right back in the race for the Big 12. However, a loss would only add on to what a disappointing season it has been. “It’s going to be very big for us, because right now we determine our own destiny,� defensive end Charles Tapper said. “So going out there, beating Baylor and just winning from now on just really could contribute to us winning the Big 12 because you never know how it’s going to finish out right now.� The Sooners have underachieved this season after receiving high expectations following the Sugar Bowl win. A win against Baylor would be the statement of the season and a resurgence in confidence.

NORMAN TO new orleans OU graduate puts his filmmaking skills to the test in The Big Easy BAILEY CHAMBERS LIFE & ARTS REPORTER @BAICHAMBERS
S
ome college grads take baby steps toward their dream jobs, and others chase right after it. Todd Greenlee chose the latter, chasing his filmmaking passion to the deep south. Andrew Horton, professor of film and media studies, had Greenlee as a student in several electronic media classes. It was through a teacher-student bond that Horton got to know Greenlee as an aspiring filmmaker. With Horton’s extensive background in screenwriting, he served as the perfect source for Greenlee and all his inquiries about the movie making industry. “Everyone knows they don’t make movies in Hollywood anymore,” Horton said. “They make them in New Orleans.” And that’s just where Greenlee’s career led him, shortly after graduating from OU last year with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast and electronic media. Greenlee said he has been interested in film for as long as he can remember, and his passions weren’t harnessed alone. Along with his twin brother, Alex, Greenlee found they both loved to tell stories. Drawing inspiration from Charlie Chaplin movies, filmmaking became the twins’ perfect outlet for storytelling. “We both just fell into it at the same time, it probably has to do with us being twins. I have absolutely no idea where it specifically started,” Greenlee said. “We made our first short film with a screenplay when we were about 14.” Since he found his unfading love for filmmaking at such a young age, Greenlee said there was never room for any other career choices. With unwavering support from everyone around, there was nothing standing in Greenlee’s way. “I always knew that filmmaking was going to be what I wanted to do so I did everything I could to end up there,” Greenlee said. “People who know my brother and I have always been very supportive with us wanting to pursue filmmaking. I think they can see the passion in our work.” Both Todd and his brother left Oklahoma to pursue careers in the filmmaking industry. Although Todd headed to New Orleans while Alex moved to Los Angeles, both now work as production assistants, working behind the scenes with film projects. Since Greenlee has been living in New Orleans, he has worked on two feature films, including a Will Ferrell and

Kevin Hart comedy, “Get Hard,” and a current production, “Trumbo.” The film will explore the career of Dalton Trumbo, a Hollywood screenwriter with a successful history that eventually comes to a screeching halt when he is blacklisted for being a communist. Bryan Cranston [Breaking Bad] will star as Trumbo, acting alongside a star-studded cast cincluding Elle Fanning, Diane Lane, John Goodman and more. The film is expected to be release in 2015. “I am very, very happy with where I am right now,” Greenlee said. “I have been able to work with some incredible artists.” But the idea of snagging a job in the film industry is nothing short of daunting considering the lack of stability within that particular job market. Networking and being in the right place at the right time, seem to be the best routes to find a
place in the field. “Filmmaking is tricky in that you are constantly looking for jobs since you are technically freelance. The thing to do is to find a group of people that you click with and love being around,” Greenlee said. “When those people get jobs, they usually help you get jobs.” Though the twins have moved from Oklahoma in pursuit of their dream jobs, Greenlee said they hope to return to the state to film their first feature film. “Alex and I still have some very big dreams. We want to eventually make our own movies,” Greenlee said. “We made countless short films, but we hope to make our first feature film in Oklahoma within the next few years.“ Being a recent graduate and having success under his belt already, reaching bigger goals will seem effortless from the outside looking in. But even so, there are challenges with every career field Greenlee said the film industry can take away hours of sleep, but reward a passionate person with accomplished goals and the drive to set new ones. “Filmmaking is fun but it is a very brutal business. Even though the hours are tough, I love every moment of it,” Greenlee said. Bailey Chambers baychams92@aol.com
