Sooner celebrates World Cup Study-abroad student parties alongside Brazilians at beaches and bars Danielle Talley,
Life & Arts Reporter
What better place is there to celebrate the World Cup than South America? Student Matthew Brownlee, who is currently studying abroad in Brazil, has had the opportunity to learn about Brazilian culture as well as join in the festivities. Brownlee left to travel earlier in February and began studying at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. “Being born and raised in Oklahoma, I thought Tulsa was a decent sized city,” said Brownlee in an email. “I stand corrected. Rio is a huge city, about 9 million people. So that was the first big thing to get used to. I was lucky enough to live two blocks away from the famous Copacabana beach, so as you can imagine, I frequently visited daily.” Since arriving in Rio, Brownlee has learned a lot about the social and political structures of the region. In the months preceding the World Cup, there were protests across the country. Citizens protested against the government for financing the FIFA World Cup instead of medical and educational facilities. Transportation also became an issue, as there were bus drivers on strike who declared that they were not being paid well. “The inequality in this country is immense,” Brownlee said. “There are so many homeless people in this city right next to extremely wealthy ones. I have learned how to operate in a big city. Like going out at midnight and not coming home until 7 a.m. is normal and can leave you with some crazy stories. Making sure you get the right bus is imperative. It’s very easy to end up somewhere where you shouldn’t be. I learned that Rio is no more dangerous than any other big city. Yes, there is crime. I fortunately have never seen any
or been attacked.” As tourists flooded into the country, excitement about the World Cup became more prominent. Brownlee watched the World Cup at the Copacabana beach, where a FIFA Fan Fest was being held. This event included a large screen, room for about 20,000 people and immense energy and excitement. People could also watch the World Cup on any television screen in the country. According to Brownlee, another good location to watch the game includes small neighborhood bars called Botecos. “You sit outside on plastic deck chairs drinking your 6 reais (Brazilian currency) Antartica half liter that you share with all your friends and cheer on your team in comfort,” said Brownlee.

High hopes for Hi-Rickety

1: Camp Crimson staff member “K-Cash” addresses the campers. Crimson Chaos included many ice breakers to help get the campers aquainted with each other.
Camp Crimson coordinator discusses volunteer recruitment, training and leadership “Our whole philosophy in the program is to facilitate the beginning of relationships with students so that when they start classes in the fall, they already have their feet on the ground,” Stevens said. To facilitate this operation it requires volunteers and time. The latter is something Stevens has fully sacrificed for Camp Crimson to make it as beneficial as possible for the incoming freshmen and the OU community. Stevens has had a substantial influence on turning Camp Crimson into what it is today. “I began with Camp Crimson as a grad student, I just wanted to help out in whatever way they needed me and after working on staff for two years, the director position opened up, and everything fell into place,” Stevens said.

campers leave after their last day of camp. He is responsible for hiring new staff and finding qualified small group leaders each year. The hiring process starts in the months following camp and continues until the months before camp starts. Camp Crimson is traditionally open to freshmen, but they also offer a transfer session for transfer students. The cost is $240 for a three-day, two-night stay on campus. It includes meals, a yearbook and T-shirts. OU offers a scholarship for Camp Crimson so students with financial needs have the opportunity to go to attend.

My advice to incoming campers:
“I definitely did not like Camp Crimson my freshman year. It just wasn’t for me. However, since I applied to be an SGL, I have had nothing but great experience on the other side of Camp Crimson. I was welcomed with open arms, and it has been a great experience so far.”
“To pay it forward. I want to be able to have the same impact on campers that my SGL had on me.”

Here are some ways to prepare yourself and get the best out of your summer show season
Chances are there will be limited to no seating at outdoor events. Invest in a lawn chair or bring a blanket. It allows for a more relaxing time and your feet will appreciate it.
KATELYN GRIFFITH Print Managing Editor @Katelyn_Brooke
Summer has officially begun, which means the outdoor show and concert season is in full swing. When heading out the door to attend a music show, we tend to get so caught up in the excitement that we often forget thingsand do not realize we’ve left them until it’s too late. So, to keep us from making these mistakes, here’s a list of 10 tips and tidbits to prepare for attending a show.
Venues may not allow big bags into the event. To avoid getting turned away by security due to an overly-large bag, try a fanny pack instead. They may not be the most fashionable accessory as they bring back nostalgia of ‘90s fashion, but they do the job. Ladies, try a smaller, side-shoulder bag or a larger clutch. There are many different styles to choose from, so there is surely one to fit the occasion.
Look into what kind of show you will be attending. Is it going to be held on a lawn, in a parking lot, on a rooftop or in an indoor or outdoor venue? Plan your outfit based on the concert’s location. Additionally, check the event schedule to find out what time your favorite artist is playing, so you can plan ahead to get the most out of your day.
Check the event’s social media. Follow them on Twitter, like them on Facebook or any other form they have. They will post updates leading up to the event and even on the day of containing information of the even or any type of schedule change.
Once you decide on a concert to attend, keep an eye on the weather on that day — especially if it will be an outdoor show. This way, you will know whether to wear sunscreen or rain boots.
Before any show, event, festival or concert, check the website or flyers for concert guidelines. They should include what you may or may not bring into the venue, any dress code policies and anything else that may be prohibited. This will save you time, money and disappointment.
While out and about, drink plenty of water. You wouldn’t want to miss out on enjoying the concert due to lack of hydration. Find out if the venue will allow you to bring in outside drinks or if hydration stations available. Camelbacks and clip on water bottles are beneficial for daylong events and prevent you from of misplacing your bottle. ILLUSTRATION BY ELIZABETH SNIDER FOR THE DAILY

Bring sunscreen and bug spray to protect your skin. Even if it isn’t 90 degrees and sunny, there still is a chance for sunburn. Now that it’s summer and the bugs are buzzing, you’ll need to avoid bringing home sunburns and bug bites.

Withdraw cash ahead of time. Don’t wait until you get to the event to use the ATM, because there might be an additional fee. Make a pit stop at the corner gas station the morning of or the night before. Also, split up the cash into different pockets. Place some in your wallet, pant pocket, shirt pocket and even shoes. Doing so will help prevent you from being pickpocketed.
