Day of the Dead comes to OU Campus to hold Dia de los Muertos event on Friday TONY BEAULIEU
Life & Arts Reporter
Dia de los Meur tos is a Latin American holiday commonly translated as “Day of the Dead.” Despite its macabre evocations, and close
proximity to a certain other spooky holiday, scares are not what one should expect from one campus event this Friday. The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and OU Student Life are hosting a Dia de los Muertos festival from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday outside and inside the museum. Student Life and Fred Jones
Museum’s Day of the Dead will feature activities for every age group. From face painting and crafts, to live music and traditional Day of the Dead “sugar skulls,” the event organizers are hoping to offer something for everyone. “We’re encouraging visitors to get a real hands-on experience,” said Michael Bendure, Fred Jones Museum SEE HOLIDAY PAGE 2

Midterms are stressful for all students, but for some new OU students, they can be especially exhausting. As midterms come to an end, members of The Oklahoma Daily’s Freshman Experience project have a better idea of how much work college actually can be. Most agreed the most stressful part of midterms is how they all seem to happen at once. University College freshman Christina Hamilton felt “totally swamped” by all the work she had around midterms, and on her birthday weekend, no less. “There’s a lot of work to do and not enough time,” Hamilton said. “But I will finish it; I always do.” Hamilton had a difficult start to the semester because she felt too far from her home of Trinidad and Tobago. She has since made friends that she said are great and she even met two people from Trinidad who took her to an international party. “I have my little Trini connection,” Hamilton said. “I’m pretty happy here right now.” For University College freshman Jessica Graro, the semester has been busy with philanthropy events and getting initiated into Gamma Phi Beta. Luckily, her midterms kind of came and went so she could spend more time with her sorority. Her midterms were random and unpredictable. While she spent a bunch of time holed up in her room studying, she didn’t find any too difficult. “All of it was just kind of overwhelming,” Graro said. With all the excitement of playing in the Pride of Oklahoma each weekend, midterms crept up on University College freshman Spencer Smith. He had a few late nights and started to learn some time management skills, but overall felt confident in his grades. “Although midterms are stressful, they help a ton,” SEE MIDTERMS PAGE 2

ACTIVISM
Incarceration to be discussed Weather Festival this Saturday Activist-in-residence Gwen Jones holding panel Q&A MOLLY EVANS
Campus Reporter
OU’s new activist-in-residence is holding her first event on campus Monday to show members of the community solutions to reunite families torn apart by female incarceration. Activist-in-residence Gwen Jones will head the forum, called “The Not So Merry Go-Round: Stopping the Cycle of Incarcerating Women and their Children,” w ill take place at 7 p.m. Monday in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Regents Room. The event will include a panel discussion and Q-and-A with several speakers, said Jill Irvine, co-director for OU’s Center for Social Justice. The forum will include Sen. Constance Johnson, sociology professor Susan Sharp and Cheri Fuller of the Redeeming the Family’s Oklahoma Messages Project and Robin Khoury of Little Light Urban
Ministries, Irvine said. The women will discuss the reasons for and consequences of Oklahoma’s high rate of female incarceration, Irvine said. Oklahoma leads the nation in the number of people incarcerated per capita, with the majority of incarcerated offenders having committed nonviolent crimes, such as drug possession, according to the 2012 report from the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Many women who are incarcerated have children, so the discussion will consider both the economic costs as well as costs to the families of these women, many of whom are incarcerated for nonviolent crimes, Irvine said. “It’s an incredibly important issue. I think this is a moment when nationally there is a lot of discussion about incarceration,” Irvine said. “Oklahoma is a state right in the center of it because we do have one of the highest rates of incarceration.” Along with her affiliation at OU, Jones currently works as the executive director SEE PANEL PAGE 2

The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art decided to get involved this year because of their fall exhibit, “Libertad de ExpresiĂłn: The Art Museum of the Americas and Cold War Politics,â€? which focuses on Latin culture. “Because of the kind of exhibit it is, with such a large Latin component, we thought this would be a good way to generate participation with Latin culture,â€?

of Student Life. Together, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum and OU Student Life have worked hard to make OU’s Day of the Dead like no other in the world. “Even though we don’t do it like they do in other countries, we like to put our own little twist on it,“ Garcia said. Fred Jones and Student Life are encouraging
attendees to dress up for the event, though it’s not a common custom elsewhere. “We’re encouraging visitors to wear costumes, whether they be traditional Dead of the Dead, or Halloween,� Bendure said. Overall, Bendure said he hopes Friday’s Day of the Dead will be a fun learning experience for participants.
“It will be a positive and fun atmosphere that will open visitors’ eyes to multiple aspects of Latin culture,� Bendure said. Tony Beaulieu anthonybeaulieu78@gmail.com

Smith said. “You can see yourself progressing and learning, which is really cool.� Though Audra Brulc didn’t have her midterms all at the same time, or any terrifying tests, she still didn’t breeze easily through her classes. Brulc did well on midterms but said she is still adjusting to classes and tests harder than those in high school. She has had to develop study habits since she never had to study for a test before, she said. “It’s still emotionally a lot of ups and downs because I still do stress out a lot about school, and that’s still really really draining,� Brulc said. University College freshman Melanie Purdy was frustrated because her midterms delayed her leaving for fall break. She had an exam Thursday before break and had to leave for Austin City Limits music festival later than expected. Purdy bought her tickets at the last minute and enjoyed her football free weekend seeing some of her favorite bands like Passion Pit. “I loved doing something spontaneous like that,� Purdy said. Smith, on the other hand, didn’t see the weekend as relaxing, but as a time to show off all the hard work he put in the week before at Pride rehearsals. The Pride worked extremely hard during the week prior to ensure everyone was ready for the big OU-Texas game, he said. “Not only does the football team want to be better than the Texas football team, but our band wants to be better than the Texas band,� Smith said. More than half of the first semester of college is over for freshman and these five are learning more about themselves every day. Some are finding it more difficult than they expected to fit in, find their place and pass their classes, while others are having the time of their lives. “I’m really starting to get used to life at OU, it’s pretty nice,� Hamilton said.
“Many people still fear tornadoes and should learn why they have no reason to fear them,� Bird said. As well, every hour local news channels such as KFOR, KOCO, KWTV and KOKH will be launching weather balloons, according to the press release. Each channel will also have their helicopters on display, Bird said. Children can also watch the Lego Robotics demonstration and get their faces painted, she said. Different organizations like the Thunder Girls,

COLUMN
Obama said if he was the owner of the Washington Redskins, and he knew the name was “offending a sizable group of people,” then he would “think about changing it” during an interview with The Associated Press. This isn’t just a jab at Washington’s football team; this is a message to all institutions and teams who use this derogatory term as a mascot name. If we’re going to be unsupportive of Washington’s football team name, it is only fair we note some of the schools here in Oklahoma that deserve equal attention and criticism for their choice in mascot. In Tulsa, Union public schools use a Redskins mascot. Despite the amount of criticism they’ve received, they have yet to change it. Northeastern State University, however, has changed its mascot from the unfavorable “Redmen” in 2007 to “Rowdy the Riverhawk.” Even our own university once had a controversial mascot known as “little red” until it was abolished by former OU president J. Herbert Hollomon who claimed it was “degrading to Indians.” “No institution established in our society should countenance hurt or injury to an individual or a group of individuals in the official name of the university,” Hollomon declared. (Records of this information provided by the Lawrence Journalism World on April 17, 1970.) These types of derogatory names need to be replaced with non-offensive, less insulting names. It’s not hard to do. Cooper posed the question, “Starting today, if we were starting a new football team, would anyone even think about naming them ‘redskins’?” We all know that answer. The answer is no — and Snyder, you can put that in caps. We deprecate the use of this term and refuse to use it in future publications. This will be the last time you read “redskins” in The Daily, unless we are quoting someone else’s words.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The moral lessons of an immoral practice Addressing fundamental issues was S not publicity stunt
ea World is one of the OPINION COLUMNIST most famous amusement parks in the world, offering families and children the opportunity to get close to animals that the vast majority of people would never get to see in the wild. CNN aired a documentary Andrew Sartain called “Blackfish,” detailing the andrew.sartain@ou.edu history of SeaWorld and the captivity of whales. The documentary clearly took a biased stance, attacking the largest marine park in the world for its tolerance of inhumane treatment and overwhelming dangers of its personnel. The story extensively focused on the largest killer whale in captivity, Tilikum, a massive 12,500-pound male who has been involved in three peoples’ deaths. There is no doubt SeaWorld and other aquariums have provided unprecedented research and education about these animals to the public understanding of the species. After all, some of my fondest childhood memories that allowed me to develop a passion for animals and nature vividly include Sea World, Dolphin Cove, the Believe show and the fireworks at the end of the night to dream it all away. But rarely do we sit there imagining that behind the walls of our celebratory bliss is the suffering of animals that may be even more emotionally complex than humans. Many studies offer reason to believe that whales, dolphins and porpoises could be equally complex on a cognitive level as people. In fact, whales possess a region of the brain, that humans do not, that extends off the portion of the brain that creates emotion. The social interactions of these animals can even be considered more important than the family structure of humans as they remain with each other through life, whether it is with siblings, children or extended family within the pod. Ironically, the fundamental lesson taken from the captivity of these highly intelligent animals is that they shouldn’t be held captive at all. To start, these animals travel over 100 miles a day just to explore in the wild. Space requirements that adequately stimulate and house larger animals like killer whales cannot be met in an artificial environment. If we recognize the essential nature of these animals, it becomes evident that it is inhumane to subject them to the procedures we do. Whales and dolphins are traded, sold and bought before being shoved into aquariums with other marine mammals from all different parts of the world. These animals are forced to interact with other whales and dolphins from completely different regions and varying distinct

vocal languages. In the wild, these animals stay with their families their entire life. Is this OK for us to disrupt? Within the last 50 years, scientists claimed that whales had no thoughts. Anthropomorphic features like emotion are characteristics we like to claim are solely our own. Yet, yearby-year, science is proving us wrong. Humans have developed a knack for punishing the natural things we love in order to enjoy them more. How do we solve this problem? Can we solve it at all? Intelligent mammals, such as whales and dolphins, have proven to us they should not be captive, especially in prison-like tanks with no natural representation. The research conducted by these places is amazing, but the procedures tolerated as a by-product are not. Is there some sort of middle ground where marine parks on coastal regions could provide sanctuaries for whales and dolphins while still educating people? It is difficult to determine whether to suppress education or to suppress the majesty of a natural intelligence. No matter where you stand, there is one story in which we can all make a difference. The punishment that Tilikum has suffered in the marine show business for more than 20 years is wrong. We should all find some compassion to let him live out his life in a sanctuary where he can feel the natural rhythms of the ocean he was taken from at only 2 years old.
ongratulations on what I assume is Corbin Brown’s freshman debut in the Oklahoma Daily newspaper. I understand it is trying to one’s faith to come into college and become exposed to new ideas. I had a lot of very rigid ideas before I got out of homeschooling and I have radically changed my mind about many things since attending classes at OU. I am mostly writing because Brown’s column contains a lot of fallacies that weaken his position and renders it into a piece that could offend certain groups of people. In the first paragraph, he mentioned, “In discussing abortion, contraception, and gay marriage, the pope said he hoped to diminish the Catholic Church’s image as an antiquated institute [which should be institution].” By disagreeing with the Pope, he is saying that abortion, contraception, and gay marriage are not important issues that need to be addressed to the church, that they are fleeting fancies of the secular world. Geocentrism and predestination were not fads fashioned by secular scholars — they were central doctrines propagated and promoted by the Catholic Church to fit the worldview promoted by the Bible. Comparing abortion and gay marriage to these are apples and oranges. Abortion and gay marriage are not abstract theories on ‘natural philosophy’ or dogma. They are very real struggles for feminists and women, and for gay men and women, to achieve equality. When the Pope, or in fact anybody, addresses and supports these issues, he isn’t just trying to present himself as a good guy for publicity and positive press. Whenever anyone says these things, they are trying to address fundamental inequalities and a history of suppression and abuse. So, sure, “A Catholic Church that positions itself as an institution less than divinely-inspired will do little to help” itself- but what about the millions of OTHER people it is supposed to help? I hope he can educate himself about these issues, and see through the eyes of others. Michael Cole is an anthropology senior at OU.

In Big 12 soccer, only the bottom team is left out of the conference tournament. With just one game remaining, Oklahoma is that team. The Sooners (4-12-1) are in ninth place with just three points in conference play as they enter Friday’s match at eighth-place Kansas. With a win Friday, the Sooners would jump the Jay haw k s i n t h e st a n d ings and earn a spot in the postseason. A loss or tie in Lawrence sends OU home until next fall. “It’s life or death,” said senior defender Kathryn Watson. Oklahoma finds its season on the line because of a slow start in Big 12 play. After beginning conference play 0-4, the Sooners managed to pick up a 1-0 win at TCU on Oct. 18 to keep them in the hunt for a seed in the tournament. On the same road trip, however, OU couldn’t earn a result against Texas, dropping the team back down to the bottom of the standings. The Sooners almost pulled off an upset against West Virginia last week, leading late in regulation, but fell 2-1 in double-overtime. Had OU won, it would only need a tie against Kansas to ensure a spot in the tournament. OU coach Matt Potter said the team would stick to what it knows for the final game and hopes the team will represent the university in a positive way. “The game plan doesn’t change,” Potter said. “We have one more game to play,

and we have to play it in the right way.” Watson said the team loves playing in this type of high-intensity situation. “We do well under pressure,” Watson said. “That’s the life of an athlete. You live for the pressure.” Ju n i o r f o r wa rd Da i s y Cardona said ever yone needs to put everything they have into the final game. “There’s nothing else to do but just leave it all on the line,” Cardona said. “We’ll play with our heart and leave it all on the field.”
Kansas (6-10-2) had its own struggles this season, as well. In Big 12 play, the Jayhawks are just 1-5-1. In seven games, they have scored only two goals, both by senior Caroline Kastor in an upset over then-No. 23 Baylor. While Kansas has trouble scoring, they can partially make up for it on defense. Three of KU’s five Big 12 losses were 1-0 results. Jayhawks keeper Kaitlyn Stroud leads the conference with five saves per match. But don’t count Oklahoma out. OU has a pretty good keeper of its own in Kassidie Stade ,who is not far behind Stroud with 4.19 saves per game, good enough for third
in the Big 12. The Sooners have also kept teams close, losing four of five conference games by only one. Whichever team wins w i l l have a rou g h ro a d ahead in the Big 12 tournament. The No. 8 seed will play first-place West Virginia. However, last season’s No. 8 seed, TCU, upset the Mountaineers in the first round and later played Baylor for the conference title. With that in mind, Friday’s game will take even more meaning as both teams eye a chance at the title. OU will play Kansas at 3 p.m. today in Lawrence, Kan.
The No. 25 Sooners have a little extra time to prepare for Saturday’s marquee Big 12 match against the defending national champs and No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns. The Sooners were scheduled to travel to Manahattan, Kan., to face the Kansas State Wildcats on Wednesday night, but the game was postponed due to bad weather. A make-up date has yet to be determined. The Sooners are currently on a four-game winning streak. Their last win was an impressive showing against the West Virginia Mountaineers, which ended in a sweep. That win gave the Sooners the upper hand in the tight race to catch the Longhorns and possibly dethrone the defending national champs and capture the Big 12 title. Head coach Santiago Restrepo understands how important this game is and how important it is for his GO AND DO team to maintain consistency against a talented Volleyball vs. Longhorn team. Texas “They are an extremely tough team,” said Restrepo. When: Saturday at 6:30 p.m. “It’s going to be important that we have a consistent Where: McCasland front line attack and mainField House tain the intensity from set to set. All of them are capaPrice: Free for students ble of making big blocks, so we’ll have to come with a consistent attack.” Their last meeting with the Longhorns, which took place on Sept. 28, is probably a match the Sooners would like to forget. The Sooners had no answer for an elite Longhorns team that dominated them in every statistical category. However, the Sooners have made huge strides since suffering that loss to Texas. They are a more cohesive unit now that has a lethal front court attack. The Sooners are lead by senior middle blocker Sallie McLaurin, sophomore setter Julia Doyle, and sophomore middle blocker Kierra Holst. They are also getting great production from young players, such as redshirt freshman outside hitter Madison Ward and freshman middle blocker Micaela Spann. Their defense has also vastly improved since the beginning of the season. The Sooners have always played solid defense, but little mistakes, that would cost them valuable points during a crucial moment, are now basically non-existent. The Sooners’ team captain and All-American, Sallie McLaurin, credits their recent success to their improved defense. “Our defense has definitely picked up,” said McLaurin. “We were a solid defensive team before, but now balls are getting dug up and really scrappy plays are being made to get the ball over the net.” The Sooners will need to continue playing solid defense when they look to avenge the loss they suffered earlier in the season and prove that their four game winning streak is the real deal against Texas this weekend.

concert
Australian singer to visit Norman for Winter Wind Concert Series Sunday Australian singer-songwriter Audrey Auld will be in Norman 7 p.m. Sunday for the latest installation of the Winter Wind Concert series. She will be performing at the Norman Depot, home of the Performing Arts Studio. Mark McClellan, vice-president of the Performing Arts Studio’s board of trustees, said the Depot is a small, intimate venue with a “listening room” environment. McClellan said no one talks during the shows, and everyone is there simply to enjoy the music. Auld is a Nashville-based country artist, but McClellan said her sound was unique. “Her genre is country, but being from Australia, she has a different perspective on country than an American would,” he said. Admission to the concert is $15. Tickets can be purchased online at ticketstorm.com or in person at the Norman Depot.

The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic is coming to the Weitzenhoffer Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday. More performances will be held at 8 p.m. Nov. 2, 7, 8 and 9 and 3 p.m. Nov. 2, 3, 9 and 10. Assistant professor of musical theater performance at the School of Musical Theater, Shawn Churchman, is directing the play. Churchman said he put a different spin on the show with this production by showing it in the Weitzenhoffer Theatre. “People who grew up with this musical will see the show as they have never seen it before, and we are ecstatic to begin sharing Shawn’s beautiful rendition of Carousel with audiences this weekend,” Brooke Lacy, musical theater senior, said. “Carousel” is the second musical written by the duo Rodgers and Hammerstein. The stor y is based on a play called “Liliom,” written by French playwright Ferenc Molnar, according
