Catlett wall falls; no Sooners injured OU will re-carpet, not replace wall CHASE COOK
Assistant Campus Editor
The walls came tumbling down wasn’t the line of a song in Catlett Music Center Wednesday night. A half wall near a lounge in the music hall, which housed a phone booth in the center, fell down Wednesday night for unknown reasons, Facilities Management Director Brian Ellis said. It was taped off and left over night, but the crews
came by and cleaned it up Thursday morning. Nobody was injured, he said. “It’s a little bit of a mystery why it tipped over like that,” Ellis said. “The bottom line is that it’s gone and we removed it, and it’s no longer there.” There are no plans to install a new wall, Ellis said. There were already plans to re-carpet that area of the Catlett Music Center so OU staff will just carpet over the location where the wall fell, he said. Chase Cook chaseacook@gmail.com

Silent auction to give homes to homeless EMMA HAMBLEN Campus reporter
The Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work and the Graduate Social Work Association are hosting a silent auction to raise money for a nonprofit program that provides homes for homeless families with mental or physical disabilities. This is the first year that GSWA has partnered with the Homeless Alliance to raise money for the nonprofit’s Supportive Housing Program, said Annie Smith, Homeless Alliance intern

and event volunteer and a social work and public health graduate student. Smith, community liaison of the GWSA Administrative Community Practice, said she suggested that GSWA collaborate with the Homeless Alliance to hold the auction. Many of the families that benefit from the Oklahoma City nonprofit’s subprogram usually have single moms or dads, Smith said. These families see a case manager weekly and receive a lot of support from the Homeless Alliance. The holidays are usually a hard time of year for these families, so the Homeless Alliance will use the money raised to hold an event to make the
holidays more special for the kids, Smith said. The auction will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 16 in Anne and Henry Zarrow Hall, Room 120. All proceeds will help the nonprofit organize the event for 20 families supported by the Supportive Housing Program, said Crystal Navarro, social work graduate student and president of GSWA. The alliance has received great donations from companies and individuals, Navarro said. The auction also will feature two raffles, one of which will offer participants a chance to win a variety of smaller see NONPROFIT paGe 2

As the shaving progressed she shouted out, “Is it cute?” and the crowd began to clap and whoop wildly. Once her head was completely shaved, she said the experience was really satisfying. “I had a lot of time to prepare for being bald … but there’s not really anything you can do to [prepare you],” Raadschelders said. “It was just really rewarding and I just felt really good.” A lot of the people volunteering to have their heads shaved are doing it either because they’ve had family members affected by cancer or they think it’s a good cause, Tran said.

Admission likely will cost the same as tickets for performances in the School of Music, but that is not yet determined, Ellis said. Dream course professors are given a $20,000 endowment to bring speakers or performers to the university, Senior Vice President and Provost Nancy Mergler said. Ellis and her colleagues that also teach the class were able to bring in four professional string quartets to play Beethoven’s quartets at OU through this endowment. In addition, OU’s faculty string quartet and honors undergraduate string quartet will be performing during the semester, she said.

University Sing gets picture perfect Six U-Sing acts to sing, dance, dazzle Erica Laub
Life & Arts Reporter
Sororities and fraternitites are joining forces to sing their hearts out again for Campus Activities Council’s annual University Sing musical show. Each fall, sororities and fraternities compete for which house has the best singers and performers. The theme of this year’s show is picture perfect. “We encouraged acts to choose a picture from an OU yearbook and tell a story about the people in the picture,” vocal music senior Elvie Ellis said. With this information, student organizations paired up and picked directors, and their directors began drafting scripts and songs for their act. Fast-forward through the summer, and the 12 acts that had decided to participate began practicing for auditions. The acts perform one acapella song, one choreographed song and another song with l i m i t e d m ove m e nt a n d minimal dialogue to convey their picture, Ellis, vicechairman of act relations, said. In U-Sing, sororities and fraternities work together in pairs or groups to come up with their own individual theme that will coincide with the overall theme of the show. Each act usually has a chorus of about 36 people with three to five lead characters

that tell light-hearted stories with a happy ending, Ellis said. After auditions, six acts are chosen to move on to the big show in historic Holmberg Hall, Ellis said. The acts that move on get six more weeks to prepare for performances during Dad’s Day Weekend. Participants have put in countless hours of rehearsals for several weeks. “Immediately after tryouts, we learned who all made it and began practicing right away,” University College freshman Marissa Dodson said. “We practiced for eight hours every week, and then the week of the show it is more like 15 hours per week. Going into U-Sing, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect and had no idea of the time commitment it would be, but it truly has been such a great experience, and I would do it all over again.” U-Sing is one of the best ways for freshman pledges to get involved with their houses and OU tradition, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member Dodson said. “I have developed a special bond and friendship with not only my pledge class but also with the Sig-Ep

boys,” Dodson said. “I owe these invaluable friendships all to U-Sing.” U-Sing per for mances started Thursday and will r u n t h ro u g h S a t u rd a y . Winners of the show will be announced Saturday night. “We are really excited about and proud of all of the acts in the show this year, and although there is going to be some fierce competition, we on U-Sing Exec believe that it is more about having fun with friends and celebrating one of the [oldest] traditions at OU,” Ellis said.

Climate changes caused Hurricane Sandy T
hough the candidates noticeably avoided climate change during the campaign, Hurricane Sandy still sparked a conversation. It’s a shame Sandy occured shortly after the debates, eliminating our chances to hear each candidate’s position on climate change and how to handle the increase in natural disasters. Nonetheless, climate change’s role in Sandy proves we cannot let controversy and beliefs hinder proactivity. Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast of the U.S. as a category one hurricane and remained the 20th largest storm ever recorded globally — nearly twice the size of Texas. The tropical force winds extended 580 miles, while the storm was about 900 miles across. Setting record after record, Sandy’s barometric pressure was the lowest on record at 940 millibars or 27.76 inches — the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. The storm surge reached 13.88 feet, exceeding the old record by nearly four feet. Even a buoy in New York Harbor managed to record a 39.67-foot wave, 14.5 feet taller than Hurricane Irene’s record 25-foot wave. Why was Sandy so powerful? Sandy was a late summer tropical hurricane that traveled up the East Coast. Most hurricanes that do so eventually work their way to open ocean and dissipate. However, a high-pressure ridge of air from Greenland pushed in and obstructed the typical path out to sea, taking Sandy toward land. This jet stream, known as a “blocking high,” is a big pressure center struck over
the very northern Atlantic Ocean. What led to this? A phenomenon in climate called the North Atlantic Oscillation, which is the state of the region’s atmospheric pressure. This state can be positive or negative, and it just so happened to change from positive to negative two weeks before Sandy. Research indicates more Arctic sea ice melts in the summer and, because of global warming, the North Atlantic Oscilation is more inclined to be negative during the autumn and winter. A negative North Atlantic Oscilation causes bigger, wavier jet stream movements across North America and the Atlantic, causing the exact type of big turn Sandy demonstrated. Then came the wintry cold front from the West, a nor’easter that pulled Sandy further into a mix of Arctic air, fuelling the power of the storm. Factor in a full moon, which creates highest tides, and you have quite the mix of power. The combination of these factors is rare, and the increase in these storms partially can be attributed to climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures played a role in Sandy, as the Atlantic Ocean was in a warmer period. This was in addition to atmospheric pressure being warmer, which caused the storm to retain more moisture only to be released later during the storm. Subsequently, melting ice caps predictions are only getting more dire. Sea level rise is projected at two to five inches by the 2020s. Over three decades, about 1.3 million square miles of Arctic sea ice has disappeared, equivalent to 42 percent of the

area of the lower 48 states. If you think these record waves are bad, stay tuned for the next few years. As these storms become more common, we will be pressured to take preemptive action. We must fight the lies about climate change and seek better solutions, despite our emotions.

OU to kick off season with road test Sooners won both exhibition games by 65 points each

Average point total of Sooners in two exhibition games.

The exhibition season is over, and the OU women’s basketball season officially will begin against Creighton at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Omaha, Neb. The Sooners showed off a deep bench and a newfound post presence in the team’s two exhibition games against Oklahoma Christian and Henderson State, beating both teams by 65 points each. Ju n i o r c e n t e r Ni c o l e Griffin and junior forward Portia Durrett led the charge for OU in the preseason, scoring 33 points and 42 points, respectively. Coach Sherri Coale said that exhibition games can skew numbers in the post because of a lack of size — the tallest player on either OCU or Henderson State is 6-foot-2 and Griffin is 6-foot-6 — but the increase in offensive production still is encouraging and something the Sooners will look to continue. Although a much better team than the two Division II opponents the Sooners have seen so far, Creighton still is undersized compared t o O U, s o m e t h i n g t h a t Griffin thinks she’ll be able take advantage of. “They’re still good, but they’re just a little bit shorter,” Griffin said. “I think I will be able to continue what I’ve been doing.” Creighton finished last season with a 20-13 record and made the NCAA

Coale said. “We really put ourself in a position to find a lot out about our team really early, so we’re looking forward to it.” Ju n i o r gu a rd Mo rga n Hook echoed the sentiments of her coach. “ I t h i n k i t ’s g re at f o r us, confidence wise and competition wise,” Hook said. “The Big 12 is, from top to bottom, about the same talent, and I just think it is
better for us to play teams like that, that are going to give us a challenge and (make you) fight through adversity and grow from the start of the season instead of tr ying to grow when conference starts.” The Sooners also start this season on the road, and Hook said that will be almost as revealing as
starting against a team like Creighton. “It’s cool to go on the road for the first game,” Hook said. “It tests what we are really made of and how tight we are and how much energy we have in that inner circle that we have to take with us.” Hook has been efficient in the first two games, posting
a 5:0 assist-to-turnover ratio so far this season, a stat that she said she has, and will continue to concentrate on. “My No. 1 thing, personally, is my assist-toturnover ratio,” Hook said. “I still need to contribute with points and everything if we want to win, but as soon as I get a turnover, I think ‘I got to be sure with the ball.’” The Blue Jays return four starters from last year’s NCAA tournament team and are led by junior guard Carli Tritz (14.4 points, 3.38 assists per game) and junior forward Sarah Nelson (12.4 points, 7.4 rebounds per game).
