New data project to boost water research Information about Oklahoma water conditions compiled in web portal KATE BERGUM
Campus Reporter @kateclaire_b
The Oklahoma Water Survey is launching a Water Data Web Portal, which will pull together resources regarding Oklahoma’s water, to be showcased at 10 a.m. Friday at the Stephenson Research and Technology Center. Data is important for understanding water conditions in Oklahoma — especially because water supply can be very low in the western part of the state, said Desmond Yee Ming Ho, Information Technology specialist for the Oklahoma Water Survey. There are plenty of resources for people trying to research
water supply, Ho said. However, these resources come from a variety of organizations and can be tedious to find. Instead of making researchers weed through different organizations’ resources, the Water Data Web Portal will synthesize data from agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey and various Oklahoma tribes and make them available on one website. This will make research simpler, Ho said. “That’s our goal — to make it as easy as possible,” Ho said. Portal users can access a Geographic Information System Map of Oklahoma and look at what data is available for a selected area, Ho said. Ho said the portal’s data is currently limited, but there are resources available for most of the state. The Oklahoma Water Survey has been working on the Water Data Web Portal for a year and a half, Ho said.
GO AND DO Water Data Web Portal showcase
When: 10 a.m. Friday Where: Stephenson Research and Technology Center’s Core classroom
The first version of the portal will be available toward the end of this month. The portal will be updated as time goes on and a second version will be released eventually, Ho said. Additionally, Ho said the survey will publish a user manual that will detail how to use the portal’s functions. The demonstration is open to anyone interested in the new resource but is geared primarily toward researchers, Ho said. Kate Bergum, kate.c.bergum-1@ou.edu

Iconic JJ’s Pizza a staple for Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity Owner Jim Brooks relies on fraternity for business TRACI KERN
For The Oklahoma Daily @TraciKern
If it weren’t for the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, OU football and a handful of loyal customers and alumni, one small Norman business might not stay afloat. Jim Brooks said when his family bought JJ’s Pizza Stop at Lindsey Street and College Avenue in 1991 there weren’t as many pizza places in Norman. With the influx of more businesses, Brooks relies on his regulars to turn a profit at the 23-year-old business. “All the alums come here. It’s probably 75 to 80 percent Lambda Chis, and then the rest is football fans that come in,” Brooks said. “It’s a lot of business; it’s what makes or breaks the year.” The restaurant is located next door to OU’s chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house. Fraternity member Cole Wasemiller said he likes the restaurant’s overall feel. “Great atmosphere, cheap beer, great pizza, great environment,” Wasemiller said. “I’m always with my buddies here. It’s just a great time, especially on a game day.”
WEATHER
Wasemiller said he’s come to know Brooks personally from the two years he’s been eating at JJ’s Pizza Stop, and he believes he’s a great owner. Other Lambda Chi Alpha members, like Matt Knies, also said they like going there to watch games and because they like the atmosphere. Knies said Brooks talks to the customers and asks how their day is going, which he really likes in a business owner. Despite it’s popularity among Lambda Chi Alpha members and its loyal customers, the restaurant is only open four days a week. Brooks said he couldn’t afford to stay open more days than that. At first, the restaurant was open seven days a week, but with increased competition, Brooks has slowly decreased the restaurant’s hours. Most recently, he cut Tuesdays. “It just got to the point where Tuesday was a losing day every day,” Brooks said. “And now, even just being open four days a week I’m still doing the same amount of business or more that I was doing before that with less labor, so it’s kind of working out.” Brooks and his father, Jerry Brooks, took over JJ’s Pizza Stop in 1991 when it was still called Crusty’s Pizza.

Teen saves on airfare 15-year-old hides in wheel well Martha Mendoz Associated Press
Oskar Garcia Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A 15-year-old boy found his way onto an airport’s tarmac and climbed into a jetliner’s wheel well, then flew for five freezing hours to Hawaii — a misadventure that forced authorities to take a hard look at the security system that protects the nation’s airline fleet. The boy, who lives in Santa Clara, Calif., hopped out of the left rear wheel well of a Boeing 767 on the Maui airport tarmac Sunday, according to the FBI. Authorities found the high school student wandering the airport grounds with no identification. He was questioned by the FBI and taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he was found to be unharmed. F B I s p o k e s m a n To m Simon in Honolulu said the teen climbed into the left rear wheel well of the first plane he saw in San Jose.
The Associated Press/Eric Risberg
A plane taxis after landing at Mineta San Jose International Airport, Monday, April 21, 2014, in San Jose, Calif. A 16-year-old boy scrambled over a fence at the airport, crossed a tarmac and climbed into a jetliner’s wheel well, then flew for five freezing hours to Hawaii, Sunday. FBI spokesman Tom Simon in Honolulu said the teen did not remember the flight from San Jose.
“He got very lucky that he got to go to Maui but he was not targeting Maui as a destination,� Simon said. He passed out in the air and didn’t regain consciousness until an hour after the plane landed in Hawaii, Simon said. When he came to, he climbed out of the wheel well and was immediately seen by
airport personnel who escorted him inside where he was interviewed by the FBI, Simon said. It was not immediately clear how the boy stayed alive in the unpressurized space, where temperatures at cruising altitude can fall well below zero and the air is too thin for humans to stay conscious. An FAA
study of stowaways found that some survive by going into a hibernation-like state. On Monday, authorities tried to determine how the boy slipped through multiple layers of security, including wide-ranging video surveillance, German shepherds and Segway-riding police officers.
FOOD: JJ’s boasts ‘good pizza, cheap beer’ Continued from page 1 was on the corner of Lindsey Street and Jenkins Avenue while Brooks was working there as a deliveryman. There were two sets of owners while Brooks was working there before he and his father bought it. After the two bought the restaurant, they changed its name to JJ’s Pizza Stop after themselves, Jerry and Jim. His father had no experience working in the restaurant business, but Brooks said he used his experience at Crusty’s Pizza to help him create their menu and run the business. “I had worked there for a few years, so I saw that it pretty much ran itself,� Brooks said. “[I] just learned as I went, reading restaurant magazines and literature and pizza magazines and stuff like that.� Brooks said the restaurant’s original location wasn’t ideal. It had no heating or air conditioning, and the landlord wanted to raise the rent. After a year at that location, they moved to their current location. At first, JJ’s Pizza Stop’s menu was simple. It started with a few subs and specialty pizzas, but Brooks has expanded the menu over the years. Now, the restaurant serves many varieties of pizza, including some that use ranch or buffalo wing sauce instead of pizza sauce. They also have appetizers, gyros, burgers and more varieties of subs. Brooks said he expanded the menu to stay competitive with other pizza places in Norman. Ever since his father died, Brooks said he has done almost everything at JJ’s Pizza Stop, from the inventory and payroll, to ordering supplies and making the food — everything except deliver food. Norman resident Brent McCutchen has been eating at the restaurant since the beginning of its existence. McCutchen said Brooks makes an effort to get to know his customers, and the food at JJ’s Pizza Stop is awesome. “It’s a great neighborhood place to go down and soak in the Norman atmosphere,� McCutchen said.

SGA: Epting and Campbell’s term to end in November, as per new rule Continued from page 1 Campbell. Grunewald’s term was less than three months after she was promoted from vice president in early February after the previous president, Ernest Ezeugo, resigned because of unforeseen personal circumstances. Epting and Campbell are preparing to begin the shortest SGA presidential term yet. The two will lead SGA during a transition year, where the term is switching from an academic year to a full calendar year, so their term will end in November. The referendum was approved in SGA’s fall 2012 general election to take effect fall 2014. After Epting and Campbell’s tenure ends, SGA presidents will be elected in the fall instead of the spring. “I don’t feel like I got the short end of the stick. The Student Government Association is so much bigger than me. It’s so much bigger than me and [Campbell],� Epting said. Epting saw SGA as an organization dedicated to taking bold action to improve and enhance the OU experience and was excited about students and friends who were actively sharing their ideas on how to better OU.

Young officers asked to leave LOLITA C. BALDOR

NATION NEWS BRIEFS OKLAHOMA CITY
Executions of two Oklahoma inmates to be put on hold
The Associated Press
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — After the 9/11 attacks, tens of thousands of young men and women joined the military, heading for the rugged mountains of Afghanistan and dusty deserts of Iraq. Many of them now are officers in the Army with multiple combat deployments under their belts. But as the wars wind down and Pentagon budgets shrink, a lot of them are being told they have to leave. It ’s pa i n f u l a n d f r u strating. In quiet conversations at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Eustis in Virginia, captains talk about their new wor r ies after 15-month deployments in which they battled insurgents and saw roadside bombs kill and maim their comrades. They nervously wait as their fates rest in the hands of evaluation boards that may spend only a few minutes reading through service records before making decisions that could end careers. During the peak war years, the Army grew to about 570,000, as commanders worked to fill combat brigades and support units to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thousands of newly minted officers came in during 2006-2008. Already down to about 522,000, the Army must shrink to 490,000 by October 2015, and then to 450,000 two years later. If automatic budget cuts resume, the Army will have to get down to 420,000 — a size service leaders say may not allow them to wage even one major, prolonged military campaign.
‘‘
A sharply divided Oklahoma Supreme Court on Monday put on hold the executions of two death row inmates who have challenged the secrecy surrounding the source of the state’s lethal injection drugs. In a 5-4 decision, the court issued the stays one day before death row inmate Clayton Lockett was scheduled to be executed for the 1999 shooting death of 19-year-old Stephanie Nieman. The second inmate, Charles Warner, was convicted in the 1997 death of his roommate’s 11-month-old daughter and was scheduled to die on April 29. The ruling halts the executions until the state Supreme Court can hold a hearing on the inmates’ lawsuit. Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s office did not say whether it would appeal. “The AG’s office is trying to determine the appropriate response to address these issues,” Pruitt said in an emailed statement. A spokesman for the Department of Corrections, Jerry Massie, said the agency had not seen the order and was still preparing as if Lockett’s execution would be held Tuesday.

This Nov. 7 file photo shows Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno testifying on Capitol Hill in Washington. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, young men and women joined the military to fight through the rugged mountains of Afghanistan and the dusty deserts of Iraq.
The captains are a problem ... as we draw the Army down, those are over strength.” GEN. RAY ODIERNO, THE ARMY CHIEF OF STAFF
While a lot of the reduction can come from voluntary retirements, resignations and decreased enlistments, Army commanders will have to force as many as 3,000 officers — nearly 10
percent of the planned decrease — to leave by the end of October 2015. Of those, nearly 1,500 are captains, 550 are majors. Behind some of those big numbers are soldiers in their late 20s who will be forced out of their military careers long before retirement age and into the still struggling American job market. They would leave with honorable discharges, but without 20 years in the service they would not be eligible for retirement benefits. “The captains are a problem,” Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “Because when we increased the size of the Army we recruited heavily in certain year groups. So as we draw the
Army down, those are over strength.” The military has been through this before. In the years after Vietnam and during the 1990s as the Cold War thawed, the Pentagon pushed thousands of service members out the door, creating what some felt was a hollow military that lacked the soldiers, training and equipment needed to fight and win. This time, Army leaders argue they’re trying to do it right. They’re not asking for volunteers, because too many good people leave. So they are combing through files, looking for soldiers with disciplinary or other problems in their annual evaluations — known as efficiency reports — to weed out lower-performing officers.

Alcohol not to be sold at sports events in near-future

NUMBER ONE is nothing to celebrate.
OU will not follow other universities leads on matter JOE MUSSATTO
Assistant Sports Reporter
The Oklahoma athletic department will not serve beer at home sporting events despite the growing number of Big 12 schools beginning to tap into the revenue the beverage brings. West Virginia serves beer at football games, Texas is trialing selling alcohol at spring sporting events and Kanas State sells beer at its baseball park. While beer and wine have been sold on a limited basis in club and suite seating at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, school officials are not interested in expanding such sales to general seating areas or other venues, an OU Athletic Department spokesman sad. T h e s p o k e s m a n g av e no additional information about the alcohol policy or how it could change in the future. O U ’s i n - s t a t e r i v a l Oklahoma State University only permits alcohol sales in suites, but officials didn’t dismiss the possibility of serving beer in regular seating areas in the future, said Gav i n L a ng, O k la h o ma State’s associate athletics director. “We’re watching what’s going on at other places, but there isn’t a feeling of urgency to act at this time,” Lang said. Texas may be one school the Cowboys are watching.

CHRIS JAMES/THE DAILY
Former running back Brennan Clay runs with the ball against Texas on Oct. 12 in Dallas. Even though some Big 12 universities are starting to serve alcohol in their stadiums, including Texas, OU will not.
The Longhorns are in the midst of a spring trial period, during which beer has been sold at basketball, baseball and softball games. OU’s athletic director Joe Castiglione said he can’t prevent Texas from selling alcohol at its Austin home games, but he doesn’t support serving alcohol at the Cotton Bowl in the annual Red River Showdown. “It’s just fine the way it is,” Castiglione told the Austin American-Statesman in March. Jim Marchiony, Kansas associate athletics director, said he has discussed
selling alcohol at sporting events, but campus policy prohibits it. Selling beer at events has its pros and cons, Marchiony said. On one hand, it would increase revenue and fan experience, but on the other it would increase the chances for unruly behavior and injury, he said. Kansas State has implemented alcohol sales at its baseball games. A t To i n t o n Fa m i l y Stadium, home of Wildcat baseball, Kansas State averaged 500 beers sold per game in 2013, according
to Kenny Lannou, assistant athletics director for communications. Beer was sold from when the gates opened until the end of the sixth inning. Extra security was hired to monitor underage drinking and inappropriate fan behavior, Lannou said. They started the practice last season and have continued the to sell beer this year because of its success, Lannou said. Joe Mussatto jmussatto@ou.edu

(from left to right) Math education sophomore Kristin Cunningham, psychology junior Bethany Solomon and pre-nursing sophomore Megan Byrne shop Monday evening on Campus Corner. More chain stores will be replacing the local stores.
Our View: Campus Corner should be a haven for local businesses, and we are discouraged that merchants are moving out smaller shops to make room for national chains.
We love Campus Corner for its quirky local shops, restaurants and OU fan stores. You know when you go to Campus Corner that you can leave with a unique that can’t be bought outside of Norman, and that uniqueness is invaluable. We are saddened and angry that Campus Corner is slowly losing some of its local charm because of small businesses being run out by high rent prices. The city The Our View of Norman designated Campus is the majority Corner as a special financial disopinion of trict for the express purpose of The Daily’s supporting local businesses, and eight-member editorial board we will not sit idly by as our oneof-a-kind campus attraction loses its small-town appeal. Operating a small business is not easy, but housing local businesses in prime real estate helps. Campus Corner is an optimal location for small businesses, and we would like to see them flourish. Although it might cost more, it is essential to support local businesses to promote organic growth in our city. The local appeal and livelihood of small business owners on Campus Corner is being threatened, which is forcing small businesses out to make way for large chain stores. For example, a CVS store will soon move into Campus Corner after local salon Studio Zen and BeLoved Bridal Boutique were asked to move to make room for the national chain, The Daily reported. We certainly don’t want to see national stores
taking over our beloved local district. We can go to a CVS on any other corner in Norman; we don’t need or want one on Campus Corner. Moving local businesses for national chains also goes against the city of Norman’s creation of the Campus Corner Tax Increment Finance District Fund as part of a 2001 Campus Corner Revitalization Project Plan. The fund, a special revenue fund, was created by collecting increments of Campus Corner sales tax to use for capital projects on Campus Corner, according to the Norman City Council’s fiscal year 2013 budget report. The fund is intended to “revitalize the Campus Corner commercial district,� and we don’t believe giving small businesses the boot is truly revitalizing the district. The building owners of Campus Corner are doing Norman residents a disservice by running local shops away from the district. Placing national chains on Campus Corner will have negative implications to the Norman community as well. Local business owners invest back into the community because they typically live and work in the town where their shop is located. On the other hand, profits to national chains, unless they make special efforts to give back to individual cities, typically go back into the corporate coffers. While it might be appealing for Campus Corner merchants to move out small businesses in favor of larger retailers that can pay higher rent prices, it will not benefit Norman in the long run. We believe it is more important to support local businesses and maintain the unique charm of Campus Corner.

OKC band set to play festival on heels of national tour Horse Thief to play new songs at NMF Michelle Johnston Life & Arts Reporter
Oklahoma City-based band Horse Thief ’s debut a l b u m, “ Fe a r i n Bl i s s,� came out April 15. Paired with psychedelic, folk-rock sounds, the band’s musical explorations can be heard through their calming lyrics and rhythmic vibrations on tracks like “I Don’t Mind� and “Already Dead.� The band features Cameron Neal as the lead vocalist and guitarist, Alex Coleman on guitar, Zach Zeller on keyboard, Cody Fowler on bass and Alberto Roubert on drums. Horse Thief will perform at 3 p.m. Saturday on the main stage at Norman Music Festival. “Cody and I moved up from Denton, Texas, about four years ago, and we met the rest of these guys at ACM and started [playing together] in December 2012,� Neal said. Neal and Fowler came to Oklahoma City to earn college educations at Oklahoma City University while being able to play in the band at the same time. Neal studied guitar performance while Fowler studied bass production. “Transitioning into the Oklahoma City music scene, and Oklahoma music scene as a whole, happened very easily and smoothly, and it seemed like from day one we got a lot of support,� Neal said.

Musically, it’s kind of all over the place, Neal said. “Since it’s our debut, we wanted to explore as [many] genres as we could with the sound that we have,� Neal said. “‘Fear in Bliss’ is a pretty good representation of a lot of different things that we want to explore in future records.� Once all the music was written, the rest of the album came together smoothly,
