South campus inconvenienced by parking changes Students, faculty must now either buy a permit or walk twice the distance KYLE SALOMON The Oklahoma Daily

OU research campus students are still affected by the new parking permit policy at Lloyd Noble Center, despite OU President David Boren’s allocation of 600 extra spots to the north central side of the lot. In the past, students and faculty members who work at the research campus would park in the southeast corner of the Lloyd Noble parking lot and then walk across

The OU Interfraternity Council fall recruitment came to a close Wednesday night when all of the fraternities gathered in the Will Rogers Room in the Oklahoma Memorial Union to sign their fall pledges. Fall recruitment began Aug. 21, when a mandatory meeting was held for all recruits. After tours of houses and meetings with fraternities, rushees were allowed to sign an unbinding bid card Tuesday night before the official signing on Wednesday. With registration numbers falling this year from 2009, some didn’t expect signing numbers to be as high. However, there were 573 bid cards signed Wednesday night, SEE IFC PAGE 2

saving than fast food, but possessing that mindset in college could carry over into students’ adult lives after they graduate, Radcliffe said. “We’re here at OU to study and become professional adults, so why not learn how to cook like an adult too,” she said. Shopping at the farm market opens some students’ taste buds to new flavors, said Shorty Toland, Elma’s Produce of Purcell sales representative. Toland said an OU student once randomly came to the market and walked away with a bag full of figs — a fruit the student had never tried. “She’d never tried figs in her life, and after she tried one of ours, she said they were her new favorite fruit,” Toland said. “If she hadn’t have come to the farm market, she might have never tried a fig.” The market also offers goods on the sweeter side.

» This day in OU history

Aug. 27, 1992 Students for Choice advocate reproductive rights OU’s chapter of Students for Choice began fall of 1992 aiming to promote state and national candidates who protected religious freedoms and reproductive rights. The group organized “Choicefest” — a concert that provided information about the pro-choice candidates. Students from the group suggested that protecting abortion rights was safer than allowing women to die while performing illegal abortions. Softball coach returns from brain aneurism OU softball coach Michelle Thomas returned to her job after taking a nine-month break to recover from a brain aneurism. After a long rest period and weeks of therapy, Thomas regained the ability to endure a whole day without naps or breaks. Thomas attributed her speedy recovery not only to her doctors, but also to her fiancé, OU men’s golf coach Gregg Grost, and to the support she received from the university. *Source: The Oklahoma Daily archives

slightly up from the 2009 mark of 570. Pledge classes varied in size from 67 signing with Phi Delta Theta to some houses not signing any new members. The excitement of all the pledges signing their bid cards was evident throughout the night as there was much clapping, smiling and cheering from all who were involved. University College freshman Tom Incorvaia was very happy after he signed a bid card for Pi Kappa Phi Wednesday night. “I was drawn to Pi Kappa Phi because of the their community service opportunities and the opportunity to build your own fraternity,” Incorvaia said. University College freshman Blake Robertson was

also happy with his decision to sign a bid card for Sigma Chi. “All the guys at Sigma Chi were really awesome and welcoming,” said Robertson. “ The brotherhood of the guys at Sigma Chi really attracted me to this Fraternity.”

Sigma Chi rush chairman and junior Greg Kaplan said this is the best pledge class he has seen in his time at OU. “All the hard work from the brothers of Sigma Chi has really paid off,” said Kaplan. IFC President Daniel Jones said the night went well.

“We signed 573 men to houses, which is the most in IFC history,” said Jones, communications senior. “I think the ‘Think 3’ approach that we provided to the students where they focus on only three houses really helped with our signing numbers.”

WikiLeaks necessary for democracy WikiLeaks, an organization dedicated to anonymously publishing classified documents, has recently come under fire for publishing more than 90,000 Afghanistan war logs. These logs meticulously chronicle a long, secretive history of brutality, deSTAFF COLUMN N ception and corruption at the behest of American intervention. Evan The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian DeFilippis Assange, has since been routinely harassed with a variety of threats, among these a false rape allegation purportedly initiated by the Pentagon to root out Assange during a stay in Sweden. Therein lies the question: If the folks at the Pentagon are so afraid of Assange and his tiny donation-funded organization that they would start a smear campaign of death threats and baseless accusations, just how much are they hiding? It’s my contention that information deserves transparency. Knowledge about how our tax money is spent and where our supposedly accountable government is acting undoubtedly demands visibility. Without this transparency a democracy is impossible. The fact that WikiLeaks has leaked more classified documents in the past two years than the rest of the world’s media combined isn’t a testament to WikiLeaks’ journalistic superiority; it’s a disgraceful reminder that 99.9 percent of the news we read and television we watch is a broadcast of half-truths so delicately manufactured by those with vested interests as to become completely meaningless. WikiLeaks fills the journalistic void that has long been vacated by corporate-sponsored news stations that have substituted information for histrionics and objectivity for political expediency.

Consider implications of investments Following BP’s distressing incident, it is likely that the company’s stock, though risky, is undervalued, poisoned by the suffocating fines, the sticky, clinging lawsuits and the unending media glare. This raises a question: Can you invest in BP and not be a scoundrel? You may, in response, argue that BP did nothing particularly evil or risky. Plenty of wealthy gentlemen in suits are screaming about that right now. But this is really about a larger question: Can you invest in any of the many companies that are plainly guilty of various crimes, and not be a scoundrel? If you buy stock in an unethical business, you are helping that business by lifting its share price, thus increasing its credibility with other investors and letting it gain more money if it sells its own shares. Also, if you happen to buy straight from them, you are giving your money directly to that company. What is more, you are deliberately and without any sort of necessity associating yourself with notorious evildoers, while putting yourself in a position to profit from their despicable and harmful actions. Are you upset about Walmart’s unfair labor practices, or Google’s recent attacks on net neutrality and unprecedented violations of privacy? You might think about that ten years from now and not put them into your retirement account. Don’t like the war or massive defense budgets? Some of the hot companies in the last few years, like Ceradyne, became fat on a Pentagon diet. Unless you are buying enough shares to influence the direction of the company, and plan to use that power for good, you might want to consider the ramifications of being part owner in a company that produces pornography, such as Time Warner Inc. The best thing about this sort of investment boycott is that it’s much more practical than a regular boycott. All of us are regularly forced to buy from companies we dislike or don’t know; your job might require you to have the latest Apple toy made by hungry children, or you might not have the time to research each manufacturer of canned

HOROSCOPE By Bernice Bede Osol

Friday, Aug. 27, 2010 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone in dire need may seek you out for your know-how and talent, which in the end is likely to benefit you. As it turns out, you should be able to profit from being helpful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Collective effort has its rewards. While working in close conjunction with one or two other people, your team could end up making a big impact on something important.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Financial matters are likely to turn out to be more in your favor than they might at another time, so get right on them. Try to resolve and/ or conclude all financial deals. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Avoid involvements with anybody who makes demands on your time. It will be important that you’re able to operate at your own discretion and able to do what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - It isn’t likely that you will feel fulfilled unless you work on something you believe to be of importance. Devote as much time as you can possibly spare to do so.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - The things you do for those you love and not what you do for yourself will provide you with the greatest gratification. You won’t wait to be asked, but will jump right in when needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Although it generally isn’t always a good policy to mix business with pleasure, it might be one of those rare times when you should if you can. Close your deal while playing golf or tennis.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - If you need a recreational outing, plan to do something with friends with whom you are comfortable enough to let your hair down. Pretentious people will only get you more uptight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Proceed on the path you’re on by handling one step at a time, and there is every reason to believe that you’ll be able to close out a critical assignment that has given others fits.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Some kind of objective of considerable significance can now be achieved, because you’ll have the courage to go after what you want. You won’t allow its difficulty to scare you off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - This is a better than usual time to take care of neglected e-mails or important correspondence you haven’t had time to handle. Once you put your personal affairs in good working order, you can relax.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You aren’t likely to be satisfied with the status quo, because you’ll sense within you the ability to apply yourself in ways that can make good things even better. Improvement in all things will be your goal.

Season starts against Shockers Sooners expect tough competition from all three teams in Nike Invitational GREG FEWELL The Oklahoma Daily

The Sooner volleyball team will open up their 2010 season at 7 tonight inside McCasland Field House against the Wichita State Shockers. The match is part of the Nike Invitational taking place in Norman tonight and Saturday. UT-Arlington and Miami (Fla.) are also playing in the tournament. The Sooners bring an experienced squad with high expectations to the floor. However, the opening games for the Sooners will not be warm-ups. “We have to prepare for tough competition,” coach Santiago Restrepo said. “All three teams are capable of beating us at any time during the season. “(Wichita State) is a team that we have lost to in the previous two years, and we’re hoping that this is our year.” The invitational is a round robin format, meaning each team will play all of the other teams once. After opening against the Shockers, the Sooners play UT-Arlington at noon Saturday and Miami at 7 p.m. Saturday. The Sooners have lofty goals this season and are hoping for a solid start to the season to set them off on the right foot. All three teams that the Sooners will face in this

LIFE&ARTS FESTIVAL

Third time’s a charm for Dustbowl HELEN GRANT The Oklahoma Daily

The Dustbowl Arts Market will set up shop Saturday on Campus Corner for the third time, a milestone of sorts for this brainchild of three OU graduates. Katie Huskerson, Reese Truesdell and Dana Fisher worked together to plan a new kind of arts market for the first time in April 2009. Their event — the first Dustbowl — featured handmade items and works of art and premiered in August 2009 on Campus Corner. The next April, event planners of the Norman Music Festival approached the trio to host another Dustbowl Arts Market, and the second market was even bigger than the first, thanks to music festival foot traffic. Now, the festival will see its third appearance on Campus Corner Saturday. But the road to these arts market successes is a trail of friendship made from intersecting personal histories. Friends since eighth grade, Truesdell said Huskerson approached him with the idea of starting an arts market. Huskerson had observed Truesdell’s “trunk sale,” where local artists sold unique and handcrafted jewelry. She thought Truesdell did a great job handling the sale and asked for his help to plan an even bigger event. Fisher, a mutual friend, also got involved. Truesdell said their garage sales attracted large crowds because Huskerson and Fisher were known for their unique ability to repurpose vintage clothes. “People would be waiting outside for hours,” he said. “Just lined up and waiting for these vintage clothes.”” Motivated by the success of the sales, Truesdell said they believed people in the community would support a larger arts market. Fisher said the three of them worked well together and the event fell into place. It’s like building a community within a community, Truesdell said. The trio wants to feature artists that focus on the presentation, quality and originality of their art, while keeping affordability in mind. “I think all along our intention was just to give people the confidence to keep on making their own art,” he said. “Or creating and inspiring themselves to do better things.”

I know what I like. I know what I want to achieve. Experience, there’s something really cool about it. But there’s also something really cool about not knowing what the f*** you’re doing too, like when I was 18, moving to New York. I didn’t know anybody and just had raw passion.

Q: Where do you see yourself on the spectrum between pop and country/ Americana music? A: I approach all my songwriting the same. I’m such a fan of hooks and melody and just old-fashioned songcraft. What makes it country or blues or punk rock or whatever is really just kind of [the] presentation.
