Unpaid internships may be a thing of the past with recent court ruling Judge rules in favor of two interns who sued Fox Searchlight PAIGHTEN HARKINS, KELLY ROGERS
Campus Editor, Campus Reporter
Unpaid internships once meant two things: lots of work and experience for no pay. They were a tool to gain experience so one day those interns could bring in a pay check and ask someone else to get them coffee. However, a ruling by a Federal District Court judge may change the way interns function and how we think of internships. June 11, Judge William H. Pauley III ruled in favor of two interns who sued Fox Searchlight for breaking federal and state labor laws for not paying them for their work, according to the memorandum and order following the ruling. The judge ruled that, although they were hired as unpaid interns, they were doing the work of regular employees, according to the memorandum and order. The judge cited the Department of Labor’s six criteria for determining whether an intern may be unpaid during the case: • Even if the internship includes actual work for the company, it is similar to training they’d be given in an education environment • The internship is for the benefit of the intern. • The intern doesn’t displace employees and works

under close supervision with the staff. • The employee gets no immediate advantage from the intern’s work. • The intern isn’t entitled a job at the end of the internship. • Both employer and intern understand the job is not entitled to payment. At OU, there’s been some discussion about this issue for the past two years, said Bette Scott, director of OU Career Services. However, as the dispute continues over what kind of pay — or lack thereof — is
legal for internships, the decisions will not directly impact OU Career Services but will impact the students, Scott said. The goal of Career Services is to let students know about internship opportunities, but it is not responsible for giving internships to students, Scott said. “We want to make sure students are aware of the opportunities around them, and it’s up to them to apply and look further into those opportunities,” Scott said. A lot of what it comes down to when choosing an internship is understanding
exactly what you’ll be getting yourself into, Scott said. “Students need to ask themselves while they are applying for unpaid internships, ‘Is it worth it?’” she said. On top of that, going into an unpaid position, students need to be wary of what they’re entitled to as unpaid interns, and what their job requirements are, Scott said.

RYAN BLACKBURN Campus Reporter
After sp ending years working for Cleveland Area Rapid Transit, working her way up the employment ladder and finding herself a supervisor 10 years later, June Van Cleve has decided to retire. Van Cleve has had a number of jobs during her time at CART, starting as a bus driver, moving to Origins and Destinations department, to the Operation Services and Para Transit Division, which helps the handicapped and disabled, said Vicky Holland, OU Parking and Transportation Services spokeswoman. When she retired June 12, she had moved from a bus driver in charge of her one bus and the passengers on it to a supervisor in charge of 15 40-foot buses that bustle around Norman, and one that goes between Norman and Oklahoma City, Holland said. In retirement, Cleve said she plans to take some time off and to see Oklahoma

In leaving C ART, Van Cleve will miss the people she got to meet, whether they be passengers or her coworkers, she said. “I’ll miss the people I’ve worked with. There’s camaraderie here; we’ve all formed an invisible bond. I miss the people who’ve already left,” Van Cleve said. Her colleagues and passengers liked Van Cleve just as much as she liked them,

Researchers from OU and other Oklahoma universities have received a $20 million grant from a national science foundation to better understand socio-ecological systems. The $20 million grant is from the National Science Foundation Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research and will be used to help researchers at OU, Oklahoma State University, the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation and the University of Tulsa, according to the press release. Their research will focus on advancing the understanding of how socio-ecological systems can sustainably adapt to increased climate change and variability in the state, according to the press release. The researchers will focus on three main aspects dealing with human, climate and natural resource systems, according to a press release. Integrated measurement, the first aspect, will examine how to design an observation station that provides data from both the human and physical dimensions of the environment, said Renee McPherson, director of research for the South Central Climate Science Center. The second aspect, modeling and prediction, will take the information from the observation station to make better predictions of water demand during drought periods, or other types of weather, McPherson said. Finally, the third aspect, decision support systems, will provide tools so that better local decisions can be made when it comes to humans and environmental change, McPherson said.

et’s talk about Superman in general for a moment. First published in the late 1930s, Superman quickly became a patriotic icon to the American public during a time when the country was wrought with doubt and despair. The Man of Steel was idolized as a symbol of fortitude and the desire to always do what is right. To many, he came to represent tolerance among other cultures, as well as the hope for peace across the world. But despite his widespread influence and the growth of the Superman brand over the past 70 years, Superman himself always has been a considerably awkward character to portray on the silver screen. Superman is the end-all of comic book characters, and has remained as such relative to nearly every other superhero throughout the history of the medium. He’s damn near invincible, embodies over a dozen superhuman powers and has only one true weakness. Even without the more obvious flaws in his character’s story, such as the fact that everyone everywhere can somehow lose their powers of observation because of some wellplaced reading glasses, Superman has continued to be one of the most difficult superheroes to bring to life in a realistic way. That being said, this time around, director Zach Snyder has managed to introduce a unique version of the Big Blue Boy Scout that is both relevant and believable. “Man of Steel” is a Superman movie that feels fresh and modern, while paying homage to previous iterations of the story through various teases and Easter eggs. It’s not a perfect film, but Snyder’s Superman is without a doubt this summer’s must-see blockbuster. For those of you who didn’t pay attention to the trailers or any kind of Internet buzz surrounding the movie, “Man of Steel” is another Superman origins story. Once again, we follow Kal-El from his inception on Krypton to adulthood as Clark Kent (Henry Cavill), hitting all the classic beats along the way. After the destruction of his home world, his journey to Earth and his crash-landing on the Kent farm, we see Kal-El as a boy, learning his true identity from his foster parents, Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha (Diane Lane), and struggling to control and conceal his powers from the world. It doesn’t take ILLUSTRATION PROVIDED
long before General Zod (Michael Shannon), a Kryptonian engineered at birth to protect his people and ensure their survival, shows up with plans of terraforming the planet to rebuild Krypton on Earth. This clearly means the eradication of the entire human race, and that obviously doesn’t sit well with certain individuals. From there on, events unfold pretty much as you would assume. “Man of Steel” wastes very little time establishing Clark’s character, which is fine because everyone should know the traditional Superman story arc by now. But its quick pacing doesn’t work as well in other areas of the film, draining scenes of their emotional impact and leaving important narrative points unexplained. Amy Adams comes into play Lois Lane, who seems a bit more intelligent and cunning than her character has been in the past, and Russell Crowe is perfect as Jor-El, Superman’s father, who takes the stage early during some brief but spectacular scenes on Krypton. On the other hand, Cavill never seems to fully realize his role as Superman. There is no question he looks the part, but with an astonishing lack of depth in most of his dialogue, Cavill doesn’t quite fill Kal-El’s boots as well as some of those who have come before him. Unfortunately, Shannon doesn’t do much with his character either, beyond all his usual screaming and yelling. As a character, Zod was set up well to be the antithesis of Kal-El, but with Shannon’s limited acting range, he never amounts to more than a maniacally driven villain with slightly understandable motives.
The film’s strength lies in its action scenes, which consequently is the focus of most of the movie. Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan (the “Dark Knight” trilogy) do a fantastic job of updating the aesthetics of the franchise, and defy expectations by truly representing the immense power and impact of Superman’s abilities. “Man of Steel” shows you exactly what happens when two super-aliens duke it out in a heavily populated downtown area. The result doesn’t disappoint and even surpasses the kind of mayhem and destruction seen in some Michael Bay (“Transformers”) films. Along with a brilliant score by Hans Zimmer, these scenes most likely will go down as some of the most memorable movie brawls in recent history. But with so much magnificent action, other thematic elements of the film, unfortunately, fall quite short. For example, “Man of Steel” spends much of its first act presenting the very real dilemma of Superman’s alien origins. More than once, Clark’s father stresses the unimaginable social shockwave that would occur if humanity discovered they were not alone in the universe. Yet, once that moment comes to fruition, all you’re given are the typical shots of people in the street, wide-mouthed and awe-struck with their heads tilted toward the sky. Although mostly overshadowed by the film’s stronger qualities, issues like these can leave you feeling cheated and wanting more. There is a lot to be said for something that almost entirely washes away the bad taste left by 2006’s “Superman Returns,” but “Man of Steel” is far from a timeless classic. In my incredibly critical opinion, the film was very much a let down narratively. Even though Snyder was able to introduce an emotional weight that hasn’t necessarily been achieved in prior Superman movies, he missed a huge opportunity to expand on the character’s cultural significance. Regardless, “Man of Steel” delivers an overall entertaining and incredibly action-packed experience that certainly earns its place as one of the better Superman films.

he fact Sunny Golloway was a polarizing figure during his time as the Oklahoma baseball team’s coach was not a secret. Whether you’ve heard from players, fans or other people associated with the program, you’ve probably heard differing opinions about the coach who, as of Friday afternoon, is employed at Auburn. Following Golloway’s departure, which upped his annual salary to $650,000 per year for five years, some OU players said some words against him, most notably coming from junior pitcher Dillon Overton. Overton, via Twitter, called Golloway two-faced, a liar, a backstabber and a disappointment. A couple of other players, most notably former OU and current Detroit Tigers farm system pitcher Jordan John and junior backup catcher Jake Smith supported Overton’s statements. While there have been other reports, rumors and talks about some of the reasons why the players over the last few years do not care for Golloway, was Twitter really the best way of calling out a coach who left the program for a better job?

No matter the horror stories you’ve heard, true or not, about Golloway, one thing is for sure: He did his job by building the program both competitively and physically while winning consistently. If he made some enemies along the way, even if it was within his own clubhouse, that’s just how he felt he needed to run the team. Right or wrong, that’s how Golloway did things.
