ELECTIONS
Norman votes finalized Jungman will continue OU partnership after win Editor’s Note: Greg Jungman is Student Media Director Nick Jungman’s brother. KELLY ROGERS, Campus Reporter TAYLOR BOLTON, Visual Editor
Norman voters approved the proposition to renew the Public Safety Sales Tax, and also voted in Greg Jungman for Ward 4 councilman, representing OU’s city ward. They also voted Jerry Lang for Ward 6 councilman. Unofficial results indicate Ward 2 may have a run-off election between Clint Williams and Aleisha Karajala on June 24 because neither received over 50 percent of the vote, but an official decision won’t be
made until Friday. After polls closed at 7 p.m., 7,458 people had voted in total for the proposition, with 50.9 percent in favor of the renewed half-percent public safety tax, which was originally approved in 2008, according to a sample ballot. Ward 4 The incumbent, Jungman, received 832 votes, or 62.3 percent, beating William Hickman and Rhett Michael Jones for the position. “We worked really hard. We thought we had the votes. We were pretty confident,” Jungman said at his watch party Tuesday night. In office, Jungman plans to continue the city’s partnership with OU on programs, such as the City Center Master Plan, where Norman and OU are splitting the bill to improve Campus Corner and downtown Main Street,
Jungman said. Ward 2 and 6 Williams received 769 votes, or 49.6 percent, and Karajala received 433 votes, or 27.9 percent. Matthew Leal and Gary D. Caissie got a combined 349 votes, or 22.5 percent. Williams ran on a platform to protect Norman’s water supply and resources, such as Lake Thunderbird. Williams also wants to invest in resources for firefighters and policemen, according to his website. Ward 2 was an open seat because Tom Kovach didn’t run for re-election. Lang won Ward 6 with 566 votes, or 52.2 percent, beating out incumbent Jim Griffith. Kelly Rogers, kelly.n.rogers-1@ou.edu Taylor Bolton, taylorbolton@ou.edu

POTENTIAL STORMS
Severe weather expected to hit this afternoon Students should be familiar with refuge centers well before storms KELLY ROGERS Campus Reporter @KellyRogersOU
A
s storm systems develop, Oklahoma forecasters predict severe weather conditions across the state beginning this afternoon. Although these conditions aren’t necessarily an indicator of a tornadic activity threat, Scott Curl, a National Weather Center Forecast meteorologist, said tornadoes cannot be completely ruled out. “We’ll just have to watch as these storms develop and take on their own characteristics to know for sure,” Curl said. The storms are expected to move toward the eastern part of the state into the evening, Curl said. Large hail and potentially damaging winds are the primary concerns for this storm system, Curl said. Gary McManus, a state climatologist with the Oklahoma Climatological Survey, said today’s storm conditions are fairly normal for this time of year. “The upcoming weather is just a natural spring time occurrence for Oklahoma,” McManus said. “But each new tornado season can change at the drop of a hat.” With Oklahoma’s current drought situation is looking similar a dry spell in 2011, McManus said weather patterns are important to consider when trying to predict the weather. “Continuation of the current drought is expected, and could even worsen though we’re getting storms,” McManus said. The precipitation from isolated storms is not enough to rescue Oklahoma from drought. Following the drought three years ago, Oklahoma saw 50 tornados just within the month of April, McManus said. That doesn’t mean Oklahoma’s drought is indicative of an active tornado season, but it’s still something to consider, McManus said. “It’s important to expect the worse,” McManus said. “That way you will always be prepared.” With the recent update to severe weather safe spots on OU’s campus, McManus said students should look at the maps now, not an hour before the storms hit Norman. “Preparedness is key,” McManus said. “It could save your life.” For more information about OU’s refuge areas, go to the emergency preparedness website.

A professor from the University of Delaware is visiting OU on Wednesday to tell Sooners there isn’t a contradiction between science and religion. The presentation, “Science and Religion: The Myth of Conflict,” is this year’s True Family Lecture, an annual event sponsored by the OU Catholic Student Association and St. Thomas More University Parish, according to a press release. Stephen Barr, Catholic scholar and physics professor, will discuss how science and religion do not necessarily contradict one another. OU professors Allen Hertzke and Charles Kenney chose Barr to be the event’s speaker because of his interpretation of religion and science. “We thought this would be particularly appealing to the OU community because it crosses the fields of science and religion, and I know a lot of students wonder about whether their religious faith is in conflict with the scientific world they live in or their courses on science,” Hertzke said. The lecture is open to the public and will be held in OU’s Law College’s Dick Bell Court Room. The lecture starts at 7:30 p.m. and is expected to last about an hour, with a question and answer session after the lecture. “I like to emphasize to students how the university is a wonderful place for an exchange of ideas, and I think at one level it’s an opportunity for students to not only learn but to continue that conversation afterwards,” Hertzke said.

Which building to renovate next? Our View: We are glad Kaufman and Gittinger halls will receive renovations, and we want to know which buildings you’d like to see updated next.
Which buildings do you like on OU’s campus? Are there any buildings you dread having classes in? Fortunately, some of the university’s older buildings will be receiving a facelift after OU’s Board of Regents voted last week to approve $10 million in renovations to Kaufman and Gittinger halls. The impending renovations got us thinking about other buildings on campus in need of attention, and Copeland Hall is at the top of our list. The Daily’s newsroom is located in Copeland Hall, as well as several classes for Gaylord College students. Copeland is the old journalism building and still houses the offices of OU’s Student Media department. Compared to Gaylord Hall, Copeland is a joke. Journalism students go from the modern luxury of Gaylord Hall to the dim lighting, shabby carpets and permanently dusty chalkboards of Copeland Hall. There is no wireless Internet in the Daily’s newsroom, and Copeland Hall, sadly, has
none of the comfy couches and seating areas present in most of the nicer buildings on campus. We certainly wouldn’t mind a few overstuffed leather couches, such as in the lounges of Michael F. Price Hall. After evaluating buildings that could be next in line for renovation after Kaufman and Gittinger, we decided why not Copeland Hall? Even simpler advancements, like new furniture, would be a welcome change for Copeland Hall. But we know Copeland Hall might The Editorial is the majority not be the first building that comes to mind for every OU student. For opinion of The Daily’s example, non-journalism students eight-member probably have no reason to fret editorial board over the state of Copeland Hall. That’s why we want to know which building you want to see renovated next at OU. Maybe you’re a science major and are sick of the bare conditions of George Lynn Cross Hall or wish Burton Hall would receive an update. Or, as most OU students can relate to, maybe you wish the Physical Sciences Center wasn’t such a bizarre labyrinth of crisscrossing hallways and mismatched
decor. No matter your major or which buildings you frequent on campus, we know there is somewhere you’d like to see an improvement. It doesn’t even have to be a lecture hall; maybe you’re sick of your office on the research campus or want an update to your sport’s facilities. Whichever area you’re concerned with on campus, we want to know about it. We understand our fellow students are engaged in a wide variety of activities on campus and have different desires than our own, and that’s great. We want any future university changes to account for the needs of as many students as possible, and the only way to make that happen is by opening a wide dialogue on the state of a range of campus buildings. It doesn’t matter if the changes you wish to see are large or small, we want to hear your concerns. Let us know which OU buildings you’d like to see updated next on Twitter, Instagram, our Facebook page and the comments section of OUDaily.com.

While some buildings on campus are stuck in the past, Gaylord is fitted with a much more efficient and modern style both in its classrooms and lounge areas.
There seems to be a disparity in the quality of buildings on Campus. Copeland Hall is home to shoddy furniture, outdated Internet services and dismal decor.

Haley Scaman achieves feat no other Sooner gymnast has ever accomplished
W
omen’s gymnastics is a grueling sport, physically and mentally. It’s also a sport that requires charisma and finesse. Some are talented beyond expectation and have the athletic prowess and character to succeed and carry them through. OU is lucky to have one of those gymnasts. Her name is Haley Scaman. Scaman is a sophomore gymnast who has accomplished more in two years than most could ever hope in their collegiate career. She was late to join the gymnastics world, starting her journey five years later than most. “Most people start when they are three. I started when I was eight. It was a little harder for me to catch on when I was younger,” she said. No one would ever know that she started late, especially as her gymnastics career continued. Scaman competed at a level 10 for four years and made nationals each of those years in her home state of Illinois. Scaman was sought after heavily for her college gymnastics career, but there was something about OU that made her want to be a Sooner. “My freshman year was just about learning the ropes for me. College gymnastics is a lot different than club. It is more demanding, and the coaches expect more out of you. So that was a transition I had to make.” As she entered her sopho m o re y e a r a t O U, s h e thought there was no way for her to create Sooner history.

She said her mindset was to put up her best performance, not for herself, but for her team. She held the anchor spot on floor exercise all year, as well as performing at anchor on vault for multiple meets. Scaman has also been a consistent scorer for the Sooners on bars. In a meet on Feb. 9, Scaman went out to compete on floor. While it was excellent routine, it was not perfect. It scored her a 9.975. This score catapulted the sophomore to excellence. The following weekend in Fort Worth, at the Metroplex Challenge, she posted a perfect 10 on floor. This marked only the second 10 on floor in Oklahoma history and the first 10 on any event since 2010. After that meet, coach K.J. Kindler made a bold prediction for Scaman’s future and talked about the character she possess to achieve that success. In true form, Kindler never stopped challenging her gymnasts and talked about what she wanted to see out of Scaman. “Haley has a lot of charisma,” Kindler said. “She is pretty cool young lady. I would love for her to have a little bit more attitude, because she is such a humble young lady. I just know that one day she is going to come out roaring like a lion.” And out like a lion, she came. On March 7 at Lloyd Noble Center, the last home meet of the year, Scaman posted another perfect 10 on floor, which marked the first time a Sooner had score multiple perfect 10s on floor in program history. And Scaman was still not done roaring. At the team’s last regular season meet on March 14 in Arkansas, Scaman did the unthinkable: she posted another 10 — this time on vault.
