Pot petitioners seek monetary help Issue didn’t make ballot this year, but supporters are hopeful for next year DANA BRANHAM News Reporter @danabranham
Although medical marijuana legalization won’t be on the state ballot in November, the group peddling the petition registered over 24,000 new Oklahoma voters during their campaign throughout the early summer. Once the July and August registration numbers are accounted for, the number of new registered voters is expected to grow to over 40,000, said Chip Paul, chairperson for Oklahomans for Health, who led the petition push. Over the summer, members from Oklahomans for Health asked citizens to sign a petition to put the issue of medical
marijuana legalization on the November ballot. The petition needed over 155,000 signatures, but thousands of signatures were rendered invalid due to improper formatting of many of the petitions, Chip Paul said. As the signature pages came in via mail, it became “painfully obvious” that many of them were not properly formatted, Chip Paul said. “There’s all these formatting rules, so if pages aren’t formatted correctly, they’re just immediately thrown out and don’t count,” he said. “So, we have numerous amounts of those, regrettably.” Chip Paul’s wife, Cindy Paul, who worked as the treasurer throughout the campaign, described the frustration they faced as they tried to recover from numerous invalid signatures. “We tried everything we could.

Gov. Mary Fallin speaks during a news conference in Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Fallin said she supports the legalization of an oil derived from cannabis, but says she remains firmly opposed to legalizing all medical marijuana.
pot: Group strives to get signatures Continued from page 1 of the people who had signed to see if they would sign again,” Cindy Paul said. “It was heartbreaking, but it’s OK. That’s how we learn — by making mistakes.” The group plans to campaign again next year, Chip Paul said. “We’re going to be back — we’re not going anywhere,” he said. “We’ve bought some influence by virtue of the voters we’ve registered and the people who have signed the petition.” Chip Paul said that some of the group’s shortcomings stemmed from weaknesses in fundraising and a lack of momentum in areas outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. “We started in Tulsa, we got everything rolling good. That never really even happened in Oklahoma City until probably the last two or three weeks of the campaign,” he said. Chip Paul said he would like to open offices in Oklahoma City and other larger metropolitan areas in Oklahoma in the future to kick off a petition drive in those areas, instead of just Tulsa. Cindy Paul said that improvements on fundraising plans would help the group
succeed next year. “We just need better funding, we need better people that can help out monetarily with the campaign. That would really be the best thing for us,” Cindy Paul said. Oklahomans for Health also faced difficulty in their petition drives due to run-ins with the authorities who would ask the group members to leave, she said. “It was disheartening,” Cindy Paul said. “You take it very personally when you’re trying to do something like this, and the authorities are making it hard for you to get what you need to do accomplished.” Oklahomans for Health members contacted the American Civil Liberties Union for assistance. “For the most part, [interference] stopped after we got loud about it and contacted the ACLU,” Cindy Paul said. Despite the petition campaign’s shortcomings, Chip Paul said medical marijuana legalization will make it on the ballot next year. “We just know from being out there that this is easily doable. The signatures are there. Oklahomans want this in incredibly large numbers,” he said. “There’s no question about that.” Gloria Noble, glorianoble@ou.edu

Secretary: Wallace looks to future Continued from page 1 Hosseini said Wallace joined Sigma Phi Epsilon to mentor the younger men in the group. “I really admired that most about Corbin,” Hosseini said. Even though Wallace is new to the job, he already has something in common with his two most recent predecessors: they graduated from Price College of Business, too. Blake Rambo, who served as press secretary from 2005 until 2011, graduated from the college with a business administration degree.
Previous press secretary Michael Nash, who served from 2011 up until this past spring, graduated with a degree in entrepreneurship and venture management. Nash, Wallace’s most recent predecessor, left the position to study law at OU Law. Wallace is not sure what he’ll do once he leaves the position. “As for my future career, I am not sure what that will hold,” said Wallace. “So I will try and just take it one day at a time.”

integrity: 46 more misconduct cases reported in last academic year Continued from page 1
Integrity Council cases from 2008 to 2013
Each academic misconduct case is overseen by a group of three students and two faculty members. The group is intentionally comprised of more students than faculty, said Jay Vinnedge, vice president of the Integrity Council. “We give our perspective — a student perspective,” Vinnedge said. Part of the reason students are reporting more cases, Clark said, is because they now have the tools to report cases and they don’t want other students to have an advantage on assignments by cheating or plagiarizing. “Part of the system is ownership. We are trying to make it personal. Why would you want someone to make a better grade than you did?” Clark said. Gloria Noble glorianoble@ou.edu

The packed parking situation often causes students to park in odd places like side streets and even grassy areas.

live near Lloyd Noble Center or at an apartment complex with a shuttle service can always use the Cleveland Area Rapid Transit bus system that services OU and the city of Norman. While taking shuttles or buses might seem like a hassle, it’s a cost-free way to get to class on time. If hopping city buses isn’t your style, you can always set up a carpool with friends. Students are much more likely to find a parking spot if they carpool than all drive separate vehicles. For more athletically inclined students, biking or walking to class is a transportation option that offers health benefits as well as savings on gas. Instead of moaning about the permit price increase to fund ultimately beneficial parking garages, tune up your old bike or call friends to set up a carpool. While we understand driving to class might feel more convenient, taking advantage of existing transportation options is actually less stressful and will save you money.

Suspensions loom over players sports reporter
O
ne has already been suspended for the whole season, another has a sexual assault scandal hanging over his head and two others have their immediate playing futures in the NCAA’s grasp.
Much has gone right for the football program this off-season but with the season opener just days away, Oklahoma
will be without one key player as three others await clearance. Here’s who they are and how they might be replaced: Dillon Hollingsworth dillon.j.hollingsworth-1@ou.edu
Just a few months ago, Joe Mixon was the poster child for the benefits OU was poised to reap after OU upset Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Now, he is no longer on the roster after being suspended for the entire season because of his alleged assault. With OU’s current inexperience at running back this season, Mixon was positioned to contribute as a true freshman. His suspension leaves the Sooners with a stable of running backs that have a combined 26 carries for 153 yards. Sophomores Keith Ford and Alex Ross look to be the front-runners for playing time, as they are the only ball carriers with any experience. Sophomore Daniel Brooks and freshman Samaje Perine also have a chance to get carries given the position’s wideopen competition.
In one of the bigger moves this off-season, junior wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham was released from Missouri and transferred to OU. Green-Beckham was Missouri’s second leading receiver in 2013, but was dismissed from the team after being accused of pushing a female student down a flight of stairs. He was never charged, but his acquisition raised questions about what kind of presence he would bring to the program. As with Shannon, there is no definite answer on whether or not Green-Beckham will see the field for OU in 2014. The Sooners have appealed to the NCAA for a waiver to let him play this season, but nothing has been decided. Green-Beckham, a second-team All SEC member in 2013, would be a welcome boost to arguably the weakest position group on the team. Junior Sterling Shepard will be the unquestioned leader of a very young and unproven receiving corps.
Joe Mixon
After a season battling Davis Webb for the starting quarterback gig at Texas Tech, walk-on Baker Mayfield made a surprise move and transferred to Oklahoma. The decision was puzzling, as sophomore signal caller Trevor Knight had just established himself as the Sooners’ starting quarterback with his stellar Sugar Bowl performance. Plus, behind him were four scholarship quarterbacks. But with Kendal Thompson’s transfer to Utah and senior Blake Bell’s switch to tight end, room has cleared for Mayfield to claim the second-string spot. But his status is still up in the air as OU’s appeal for him to be eligible this season makes its way through the NCAA. On Monday, coach Bob Stoops alluded to redshirt freshman Cody Thomas being the backup at this point, but that could change if Mayfield becomes eligible.
baker mayfield
Junior linebacker Frank Shannon’s 92 tackles led the team last season. But it is still unclear whether or not Shannon will suit up at all for the Sooners in 2014. Shannon has been suspended from the university for a year after a Title IX investigation into an alleged sexual assault. No charges were filed against Shannon, and he has been granted a stay delaying the decission on his suspension, but the case is ongoing. Losing a leader on defense and the team’s leading tackler will be a tough blow for OU, but not many teams can claim the defensive depth the Sooners can. Sophomore Jordan Evans is most likely to replace Shannon after an encouraging freshman campaign and off-season.

Right next door to Chick-fil-A is Sbarro, a great choice for pizza on a budget. They have a wide variety of styles ranging from cheese to loaded supreme. For only $5.29 or less, you can get any unstuffed pizza and a breadstick. If you don’t care for the breadstick, practically anything on their menu will ring up less than $6. And because most of the items are pre-made, people are served quickly and the line for Sbarro is usually the shortest in the union.

Six options around campus with meals below $6

y John’s Jimm
If you’re a bit of a health nut like me and prefer your food to be a little less processed try The Laughing Tomato. Also in the union food court it is by far the best option. Some of their stuff can be pretty pricy, but if you’re smart you can get a decent sized meal for cheap. My favorite combo is a half-size wrap and a side. Any wrap works, as does any side, and no matter how you slice or dice it the price will be no more than $5.40. It’s slimming for your waist but not your wallet. You can’t beat that!
k-fil-A Who doesn’t love chicken? Located in the union food court, Chick-fil-A is a great choice if you have a hard time deciding what you want from menus. They’ve got chicken, and that’s about it. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You can get a chicken sandwich and fries for only $5.78. The only downside is there is usually a big line. But you know what they say: “good things are worth waiting for.”
Taco Mayo
Located in the Cate Center food court next to the dorms, Taco Mayo is by far the cheapest option on campus. Most of their items are under $4, but they also have a value menu where items are only a $1 or so. You can even create some of their more expensive items for much less by mixing some of the cheaper ones.
The Union Market in the Oklahoma Memorial Union has been open for barely two weeks, but it is the only restaurant on campus that offers both à la carte and traditional made to order food. The made to order stuff can be a little expensive, but if you go the à la carte route, you can get a meal for relatively cheap. Most premade sandwiches, for example, are only $4. You can also get a bag of chips for only about $1.30. That totals out to only $5.30. The variety of sandwiches and potential sides is massive, and the combinations are more massive still. That means, unlike most other places listed here, you can get something different and not worry about breaking your budget.

Right next to Starbucks on Campus Corner lies one of the speediest sandwich makers in the world. They’re so fast that I usually have my meal within 10 seconds of ordering it. Ten seconds! Now that’s fast. What’s more, they’re even cheaper than Subway. For only $5.40, I can order one of a plethora of delicious 8-inch sandwiches from their menu. Now, granted, for that price your meal won’t come with chips or a sugary drink, but honestly the sandwiches are so large that you are probably better off without the extra carbs.

et’s face it, college is expensive. After paying for tuition, fees, rent and horrendously overpriced books, there’s not much money left to spend on the little things. Things like life-sustaining, body and mind-nourishing, “oh my gosh I can’t function without it” food. But fear not, you’re not destined for four years of ramen noodles. In fact, it you look hard enough, Thomas Bernstein tbernst1990@ou.edu you can actually find delicious meals that are quite affordable. Better yet, I’ve already done some of that searching for you. Below is a list of six places where you can eat for $6 or less. You’re welcome.

Printmaking event to offer original art designs A collection of unique prints will allow art enthusiasts to own a piece of local talent BAILEY CHAMBERS Life & Arts Reporter @baichambers
This tee party does not require dainty lace or crumpets, but it does require a blank t-shirt and an appreciation for original art. Bring a blank surface for printing to the Sixth Annual Tee Party, sponsored by The School of Art and Art History, the Printmaking Department and Print Club from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday at the School of Art and Art History building. An eclectic collection of prints will be ready to transfer onto your plain tees, socks or pillowcases — for free. Blank t-shirts will also be available for purchase.
These designs can’t be found anywhere else since each and every design is one of the original prints made by several art students and faculty. Marwin Begaye, OU’s assistant professor of printmaking and painting, said this annual event promotes community within the art school and Norman natives who take an interest in the school of art. “It’s a way to get the community together, for professors to meet new students and for students to meet each other,” Begaye said.
GO AND DO Sixth Annual Tee Party When: 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday Where: School of Art and Art History Price: Printing is free, but blank t-shirts will be available for purchase at the event.
