Local stores out, chain stores in Rising rent prices are driving away iconic Campus Corner businesses SARAH PITTS
Life & Arts Reporter @s_spitts
Campus Corner is known for its unique boutiques, local restaurants and being easily accessible from campus. Such a great location in Norman is bound to have expensive rent, but the high cost is starting to turn away local businesses. Small shops, family-owned restaurants and college bars
make up the character of Campus Corner, but that may not be the case much longer. BeLoved Bridal Boutique was asked to vacate Campus Corner to make room for a CVS, said owner Andrea Mantooth. The store moved to downtown Norman on Main Street. “The rent over here is half the price that it was on Campus Corner,” Mantooth said. “We wish that the owners would keep campus a local hot spot with local businesses, but that doesn’t seem to be in their plan.” Campus Corner was established in 1917 to provide local goods and services to OU students and staff who, at the time,
were not allowed to have a car on campus, according to the Campus Corner website. The proximity to campus provides the shops and restaurants with a large consumer base to support the smaller local businesses. Having this combination of local businesses and high consumption results in a better economy for Norman, according to Keep It Local co-founder Bryce Bandy. Keep It Local works with local businesses around Oklahoma by helping market them and inform people about the best local spots. This way, local businesses have a SEE COMMUNITY PAGE 5

Medieval Fair still in session Lecture and film educate on Medieval times Friday JAYE PELLEY

lthough the Medieval Fair ended weeks ago, Norman citizens can still learn more about the time period with two events this Friday. The Medieval Fair Free Lecture Series offers free lectures for people interested in the Middle Ages. Friday OU history professor James Hart Jr. will give a lecture titled, “The
Extraordinary Journey of Finch and Baines.” The lecture will focus on the lives of two men trying to build careers during the Middle Ages, said Joyce Coleman, co-organizer of the Medieval Fair Lecture Series. Through their stories the audience can understand more about European society, diplomacy and intellectual exchange, according to a press release. The lecture will take place from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Norman Public Library, 225 N. Webster, according to the press release. The next medieval event will be a
screening of the film “And They Sang a New Song: Twenty-four Musical Elders at Santiago de Compstela.” The screening will take place at 7 p.m. at stART Norman, 227 W. Main Street, according to the press release. The film is by OU’s Susan Caldwell and Eugene Enrico. A question and answer session will follow the screening, according to the press release. The film discusses the interaction of spirituality, music and sculpture in one of the great medieval cathedrals, Coleman said. Jaye Pelley, ojayepelley@ou.edu
During the first semester of Janux, OU’s open interactive learning community, around 17,000 people enrolled in the courses to learn anything from the chemistry of beer to civil rights and civil liberties. Janux allows students to take courses for class credit or just for the learning experience. This semester, the program offered 13 courses. In addition to the thousands of people enrolled in the free, not-for-credit version of the courses, approximately 1,000 students are taking the Janux courses for OU class credit, said Erin Yarbrough, associate AMY MCGOVERN vice president for web commu- PROFESSOR OF POWER AND ELEGANCE OF nications, marketing and new COMPUTATIONAL THINKING media.

Through the combined efforts of the on-campus organization Crimson and Green and OU Facilities Management, internal energy conservation goals set years ago have been accomplished. Since the project goals were announced in 2008, they have been completed or are ongoing to keep up with the continual renovations of buildings on campus, said Jason Hancock, past campus utility analyst who currently works between the university and Corix Institute to oversee OU’s utility projects. These renovations include: • vending machine misers that power down machines when no one is around • lighting replacements to decrease wattage output • air-conditioning unit upgrades • water-efficient toilet systems

Experts to tackle suicide issue Seminar addresses suicide prevention EMMA SULLIVAN Campus Reporter
OU Outreach will be hosting a health seminar next week in partnership with the Norman Regional Health System to discuss suicide prevention in Oklahoma.
WEATHER
After doing research on suicide prevention around the world, Renelda Freeman, OU Outreach health seminar’s planner and coordinator, said she found serious gaps in U.S. prevention programs, which prompted the seminar. Oklahoma has the 13th h i g h e s t s u i c i d e rat e i n the nation and for 15 to
34-year-olds in Oklahoma, suicide is the second leading cause of death, according to a press release. The seminar will be based on the Circle of Care Methodology theory, which holistically approaches the issues and care required to address suicidal “ideations, attempts, completions and the aftermath,” according to

in her course are “testing the waters” of computer science. Some of the enrolled students are adults who are considering going back to school for computer programming. Others are still in high school and are trying to see if pursuing a major in a computer-related field would be a good fit for them, Trytten said. Even with such a high number of students, the course has been going smoothly. The students largely help each other online by answering each other’s questions, Trytten said. Students can also use three interactive tutors. One advantage to the online courses offered through Janux, McGovern said, is that students can do the classwork on their own time. “I get student emails at 2 a.m.,” McGovern said. “I’m not awake at 2 a.m., but students are, and they’re doing their course work.” They can also start and stop the lectures as they wish, McGovern said, which would not be possible in a traditional classroom setting. The online format of the courses also gives professors more flexibility. Trytten said she will be teaching a Janux course this summer even though she won’t be in the state. “If I had to be in a classroom in Norman, I wouldn’t be able to teach the class this summer,” Trytten said. McGovern said she expects the number of Janux courses offered at OU to grow. She also expects education will move more toward a format like Janux’s — one that blends technology and traditional classroom elements. Jessica Woods/The Daily

Help light the way for intramural athletes

Between balancing jobs, extracurricular activities and classes, it’s unrealistic and unfair for students to be able to play only while the sun is up. Better lit intramural fields would likely increase student involvement, and offer more opportunities for students to interact, the Daily reported. If OU wants to back up its
bragging rights about being one of the best schools in the Big 12, it should make its intramural playing facilities on par with other universities in our conference. For example, Oklahoma State University has 20 acres of lit fields, and the University of Texas boasts lit fields as well, the Daily reported. We certainly want to be better than OSU and UT in any way possible, so improving our intramural playing fields is an obvious, beneficial way to enhance our standing. Likely, all it would take to get university funding for lit fields is student backing. So if you enjoy playing intramural sports, whether to blow off

There is no reason for OU students to have to go to off-campus fields and pay the City of Norman for lighting, as many recreational soccer players currently do. Tell your Student Government Association representative OU should improve its intramural fields and let us know you agree as well by tweeting at @OUDaily. There is no limit to what students can achieve if we come together in support of a common goal.

he Oklahoma women’s gymnastics team heads to the NCAA championships this weekend in a quest for the program’s first national title. The second-ranked Sooners will kick things off in the semifinal round at 1 p.m. on Friday in Birmingham, Ala. OU is slated to face stiff competition in the semifinals: No. 3 LSU, No. 6 Georgia, No. 7 Michigan, No. 10 Stanford and No. 11 Illinois. Oklahoma faced four of those teams in regular season play going 4-1. The second semifinal includes No. 1 Florida, No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Utah, No. 8 UCLA, No. 9 Nebraska and No. 15 Penn State. OU defeated the Crimson Tide this season but lost to Florida. The top three from each semifinal will continue on to the Super Six at 6 p.m. on Saturday. If the Sooners perform to potential, an Oklahoma versus Florida rematch might be looming. The two teams are not strangers. Oklahoma was the

runner-up last year in the NCAA Championships to none other than the Gators. Senior Taylor Spears said a rematch would be full of emotion. “It is really exciting to be able to face Florida again, especially since we also faced them this season and lost. It would be really cool to win it,” Spears said. In order for the Sooners to come out victorious over the Gators, they will need to keep their momentum from regional championships rolling. Sophomore Maile’ana Kanewa had an outstanding night at regionals, and said the Sooners clicked in the competition. “I think that everyone’s energy levels were high, and that helped as each person went to compete and allowed us to build on one another,” Kanewa said. The Sooners will need to be on-point this weekend in order to come out on top against some heavy competition, which includes two teams that have been ranked No. 1 at some point this season.

Coach K.J. Kindler is confident in her team, and said something sets Oklahoma apart from the rest of the field. “Our grace and beauty, the way we present ourselves with class and our sportsmanship, are impeccable,” the coach said. “Our team is gracious and humble, and those all are important, but I think our artistry really makes us stand out.” Oklahoma is hungry to add a national championship to its trophy case. The Sooners do not have an easy path to the top of the podium, but they are more than capable of making it there. The team is not focusing on last year’s second place finish to Florida, but the emotions that can fuel the Sooners to victory this season. “This is a new year and a different team,” Kindler said. “This is a stronger team, a healthy team and a smart team. To be quite honest, in all the years I have been here, this is the most prepared team to win a national championship,” Kindler said.

There are plenty of fish in that sea who will be happy to start talking to you. • One way to discover if the person is either cool or a creeper is by sporadically messaging him or her. If he or she replies immediately and continues to message you long after you’ve taken a break from the convo, consider moving on. • Don’t swipe guys to the right or message them when you’re drunk. Remember these two things: They know how many miles away you are, and the messages you’ll wake up to — just, no. • If you’re looking for a hookup, sign up. It’s like FedEx’s overnight shipping — quick delivery. But if you’re looking for a husband or wife, maybe try a coffee shop, or anywhere with that thing called “human interaction.” All jokes aside, you need to know your priorities before you get Tinder. I originally made my account for fun, just to see what all the hype was about, and, more importantly, to get a mental break from schoolwork. But I realized it’s not for me. I’m happy for those who enjoy Tinder, but I’m not okay solely judging people based on their looks. This app isn’t for the Tinder-hearted. Alex Niblett is a journalism senior.
COMMUNITY: Local shops preparing to move Continued from page 1 better chance of drawing in customers and finding success in their community “Up to three times more of the money stays there with the local, independent vendors, as opposed to a franchise,” Bandy said. Keep It Local works with 15 to 20 businesses in Norman, including Crimson and Whipped Cream, Antique Garden and Tulips on Campus Corner, Bandy said. Like BeLoved, Studio Zen has also recently moved from Campus Corner to make room for the CVS. “It was our hope to stay and we tried to negotiate a renewal. However, a renewal was not offered to us,” said owner Melanie Luster. Studio Zen started on Campus Corner and experienced a tremendous amount of growth while they were there, Luster said. She and her business partners had always been patrons of Campus Corner, and she said they were excited to be a part of it when they had the opportunity. Luster said there are a million reasons to support local businesses, including the character and sense of community they bring to a city. “Locally-owned business owners are often active and heavily invested in the interests of the community,” Luster said. The Earth also announced the relocation of their cafe on March 25 on

Facebook. “Campus Corner is not economically viable for us to stay any longer,” the Facebook post said. The owner of The Earth could not be reached for comment. Crimson and Whipped Cream owner Ashleigh Barnett said her business would have to reevaluate the cost of staying on Campus Corner when their lease is up. “If the rates increase, we may not be able to stay on the Corner,” Barnett said. Crimson and Whipped Cream relies on local regulars to help carry their

business through the dry summer in a college town. However, each year has been better than the last, Barnett said, and she thinks it’s great products and costumer service that makes the difference. To Barnett, a university goes beyond education and has an atmosphere extending into the community. “If the surrounding area is all chain businesses without local personality, what makes the university attractive to prospective students?” Barnett said. “Local businesses are the flavor that makes each community unique.”
