50 years ago today, a president died OU professors recount tale of John F. Kennedy’s death, conspiracy theories after assassination BENNETT HALL
Campus Reporter
This day in history marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the late President John F. Kennedy in downtown Dallas. News of the tragedy quickly rippled across the country by word of mouth, in blaring print newspaper headlines, on radio programs and at lightning speed through living room television screens. Swift allegations pegged the assassination on Lee Harvey Oswald, who was, himself, shot and killed the following morning by distraught citizen Jack Ruby. In the days and years after this tumultuous event, Americans reconciled their sorrow, confusion and anger in many ways. The pathos of the era manifested itself with a particular prevailing conversation piece. People said to one another, “Where were you when JFK was shot?” On Nov. 22, 1963, OU history professor emeritus David Levy was a 26-year-old graduate student doing dissertation research in Washington, D.C. Levy was on his way to the United States Supreme Court Building to pick up research documents from a friend, former Supreme Court justice Felix Frankfurter. The office workers were abuzz with the tragic news, and this was the moment he learned of the attack. “I’m not sure if it was known at that point that he had died,” he said, “but I do remember the secretaries in the office were outraged because they wondered, ‘Who would do such a thing with Jackie (Kennedy) in the car?’ That’s what upset them the most.” Levy’s own flurry of feelings hit him as he left the building and drove to pick up his brother for the Thanksgiving holiday. He said he remembers the sound of Mozart’s “Requiem” playing on the SEE ASSASSINATION PAGE 2

Life & Arts Assistant Editor
As much of the country remembers a fallen president today, attention is also focused on his alleged killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the mystery surrounding his life and death. OU history professor Steve Gillon hopes to shed light on the lesser-studied aftermath of the Kennedy assassination in the two-hour documentary “Lee Harvey Oswald: 48 Hours to Live,” airing at 9 tonight on History Channel.
On the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated during a public appearance in Dallas. The death of the 35th president rocked the young U.S., igniting a sea of change in American politics and culture that resounds even today. Ten months after the assassination, the Warren Commission concluded the culprit was Lee Harvey Oswald. The troubled ex-Marine, who defected to the Soviet Union, was apprehended 70 minutes after Kennedy’s death. Oswald never got to tell his side of the story, as he was gunned down while in police custody, 48 hours after being arrested, by Dallas nightclub
LECTURE
Student leads talk on culture Sooner builds discussion on his experiences while abroad CAITLIN SCHACHTER Campus Reporter
After visiting several countries in the Middle East, international security senior Ty Isom urged students to understand the importance of cultural immersion in a lecture Thursday. Isom traveled to Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Tunisia, experiencing the culture, food and historical context of another region. Isom shared his experiences with fellow
students and emphasized the consequences of living unaware of what’s beyond the U.S. at an event for the College of International and Area Studies’ International Education Week this week. “We live in a global world,” Isom said. “If we don’t learn about these countries, we’re losing more than about half we should know about the world.” Isom discovered the extent of globalization when he saw OU and Eskimo Joe’s T-shirts for sale in Turkey.

owner Jack Ruby. Yet, the Warren Commission concluded Oswald acted alone. Many of the mysteries surrounding Oswald’s motivations were left unanswered by his death, and many details are gone with history, lost in the confusion following Kennedy’s assassination and shrouded in a dark portion of American history. Gillon is well versed on the subject of the Kennedys. “I’ve been teaching classes about the 1960s for 20 years,” Gillon laughed. “So (the Kennedy assassination) is obviously one of the key events that you have to deal with in looking at the 1960s.”

“You can find anything there even if it’s 6,000 miles away,” he said. University College freshman Lisa Pham said she learned from Isom how certain American food can be found almost anywhere in the world. Isom described how, even though he wasn’t anywhere near the U.S., he didn’t have trouble finding American fast food
restaurants like McDonald’s while he was overseas. “I learned that you can find American food anywhere,” Pham said. Isom also described authentic food he was exposed to at a souq, an outdoor marketplace in Jordan, where he tried several new dishes. “I tried a kebab for the first time,” he said. “Before I visited Jordan, I was a really picky eater.” Marketing junior Nicole Schmidt said
she enjoyed hearing about Isom’s experiences abroad. “I learned the most about how those countries’ cultures are so different than American culture,” Schmidt said. Isom encouraged students to explore overseas to experience similar eye-opening experiences. “Venture around and go to places you have no idea where you’re going,” Isom said. “Go on adventures and branch out and make new friends.”

Native American culture has much to offer N
ative culture, opinion columnist wisdom and insight offer people a way of seeing, being and thinking that is different from contemporary American and international culture. They often have the kind of spiritual basis Scott Starr I mentioned in last week’s scott.e.starr-1@ou.edu column, “Celebrate Native American History Month by studying Native American metaphysics.” Many westerners consider Native spirituality as extra-scientific, mythological or superstitious, but these presuppositions shouldn’t make you dismissive of it as primitive or superstitious Native traditions are often founded in experience, rather than lore. They teach that the properties found in medicinal plants were revealed or communicated to them by the plants themselves in a spiritual or paranormal way, not through trial and error over the course of time. This type of inter-species communication is based on the Native conception of the universe as a living, interactive network. Natives understand the earth and its ecosystem as something they, themselves, are a part of — something they have a reciprocal relationship with. Modern scientists view Earth as a biosphere, and industrial culture still largely views the earth as something that mankind is meant to dominate and consume, not harmonize with. According to the Oxford dictionary, the word paranormal is defined as “beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding.” Leaving aside the presuppositions bound up with the word “normal” in that definition, one could say that the Native American knowledge, wisdom
or experiences with other species is “paranormal” but also that these experiences have actually benefited and contributed to what is considered entirely scientific and verified, medicinal knowledge. Although the mainstream culture of the U.S. could be considered technologically advanced — able to communicate across vast distances, travel quickly and destroy things well — some more “primitive” cultures might consider today’s America woefully uninformed about interspecies relationships and communication or the interpretation of dreams or visions and other seemingly paranormal phenomenon.

Stoops can break all-time win record on Saturday Win no. 158 will separate Stoops Joe Mussatto
Assistant Sports Editor
Bi l l S nyd e r gav e B o b Stoops his first full-time college football coaching gig, and now Stoops can become Oklahoma’s all-time winningest coach by beating his former boss. Career win No. 158 will be on the line for Stoops as his 20th ranked Sooners venture north to take on Kansas State at 11 a.m. Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. But for Stoops, the former Wildcat defensive coordinator, Saturday won’t be about the record or the possibility of setting it against a Snyderled squad. “Coach Snyder and I aren’t going to play,� Stoops said. “We have got teams and staffs and a bunch of people working with us, and it will be one team against the other.� And while he has perpetually downplayed surpassing Switzer’s win record, his brother and defensive coordinator did hint that setting the record by beating Snyder in Manhattan, Kan. would be special. “He’s been a mentor in a lot of ways to us,� said Mike Stoops, who also played under Snyder. “It would be somewhat nostalgic to do it there, but again we’re not really into all that.� What the defensive coordinator was more interested in is the way the Wildcats have played lately. Kansas State (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) has rolled off four straight victories and is a slight favorite to knock off OU (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) Saturday. Much of Kansas State’s recent success has stemmed from the squad’s offensive outburst. During their win streak, the Wildcats have tallied 30 or more points in each contest. The squad has been

effective in its two-quarterback approach. Junior Jake Waters is most effective as a passer while sophomore Daniel Sams excels as an elusive playmaker with his legs. “You’ve got to watch film first and know what formations each of them are in, and then you have to know what each of them are actually capable of,� sophomore linebacker Eric Striker said. “That will be the key in preparing for both of them.� And although the quarterback situation seems solved in the Little Apple, the Sooners are still struggling to find a steady signal caller. As reported earlier in the week by multiple media outlets, junior quarterback Blake Bell suffered a concussion last week versus Iowa State and will be unable to play Saturday. While Stoops declined to comment on Bell’s injury, or the quarterback situation in general, redshirt freshman Trevor Knight is expected to make the start under center.
“He won the job, not just because he can run the football, but because we thought he could be an efficient passer.� Josh Heupel, co-offensive coordinator
After losing the starting job two games into the season, Knight reconfirmed the coach’s initial trust in him by playing effectively as Bell’s replacement a week ago. “I believe he’s more confident throwing the football, and I think that will just continue to get better and better the more he does it,� Bob Stoops said. But when Knight leads
the Oklahoma offense, the Sooners have been heavily run-oriented. Despite this, co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said he will look for Knight to be effective through the air against Kansas State. “He won the job, not just because he can run the football, but because we thought he could be an efficient passer,� Heupel said.

OSWALD: OU professor featured in Lee Harvey Oswald documentary Continued from page 1 In addition to teaching, Gillon is a scholar-in-residence at History Channel — an affiliation he’s held almost as long as he’s been the founding dean of the university’s Honors College, beginning in the late ’90s. Associate Dean of the Honors College Rich Hamerla has known Gillon professionally for 13 years and said Gillon only teaches in the summer now. “ ( G i l l o n ) ha s a c l o s e understanding of the Kennedys and maybe some personal links that many people don’t,” Hamerla said. Gillon said the Kennedy assassination is something he has studied extensively over the years. “And one of the questions that’s always lingered is why Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK,” Gillon said. That was the question that sparked Gillon’s book, “Lee

Harvey Oswald: 48 Hours to Live,” the basis for the History documentary. “I was not satisfied with the Warren Commission conclusion that Oswald shot Kennedy because he was a deranged, angry sociopath,” Gillon said.
So Gillon spent the next two years doing hard research, rereading the Warren Commission and scouring every source of testimony he could find. The History Channel documentary is a companion to the book, though it isn’t

merely a promotional piece, the two are meant to complement each other, Gillon said. “It’s the first time I’ve ever done a documentary where I had to go back and change things in the book based on the filming we did,” Gillon
said. “Lee Harvey Oswald: 48 Hours to Live” is the first documentary to gain access to the Dallas Municipal Building, where Oswald spent most of the last hours of his life. Gillon says they had free reign of the building, allowing them to recreate what the interrogation rooms and cells were like. “This is the first time on television anyone has ever tried to recreate the interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald,” Gillon said. Gillon hopes the new perspective offered in the book
and documentary will encourage viewers to draw their own conclusions about Oswald. “Almost all the treatments of Oswald, especially those that are on the air this week, look at the events that led up to the assassination,” Gillon said. “Our show begins with the assassination and takes it 48 hours afterward.” Gillon said he wants to be part of the larger conversation about Kennedy, his legacy and what it means. Ab ov e a l l , h e w a n t s t o spur interest in history for viewers. “I hope that (the documentary) will inspire people to learn more,” Gillon said. “To read more about it, to think more about it and to come to their own opinion about who JFK was and also about this tragic moment in American history.”
