PRIDE OF OKLAHOMA

OU Cousins kicks off year with popcorn

Former director disapproves of hiring process President David Boren responsible for choosing Pride director candidate ARIANNA PICKARD Campus Editor

Long-time Pride of Oklahoma director opposed OU President David Boren’s choice to hire a candidate from the University of Wisconsin as the new director.

Former Pride director Gene Thrailkill, who was on the search committee to find a new director of the band, told Boren in an email in March that he wouldn’t endorse Justin Stolarik as the new director, according to an email obtained from an open records request for all complaints sent to Boren in regard to Stolarik.

Thrailkill’s email to Boren was sent March 2, two days after Boren officially named the new director. In it, Thrailkill quotes an email he’d sent to Boren ranking his preferred candidates before the director had been named.

“Should that individual [the new director] be Dr. Stolarik, I could not, in good conscience, give my endorsement,” Thrailkill wrote in the email.

Thrailkill said serving on this search committee differed from every other search committee he’s served on during his approximately 40 years at OU, because there was no open vote to determine which candidate would best fill the position.

“Anytime you have a search committee of any kind, there are different opinions, and at the very end, there’s a vote and the committee comes to an understanding of the person they choose and that’s it,” he said. “There was no vote as such in those meetings.”

Instead, after discussing candidates, Boren told the search committee he was going to be the person to choose the candidate and asked them to email him ranking the candidates, Thrailkill said.

“There was no going around the room and saying, ‘I vote for this person,’” he said. “Every committee I’ve been in, that’s the way it’s handled.”

Boren said in an email that every member of the search committee voted and the votes were counted,

OU Police respond to threat An unattended package found near Jacobson hall was found to be nonthreatening STAFF REPORTS

A suspicious package left near a statue south of Jacobson Hall on the North Oval was deemed nonthreatening after OU and Norman Police Departments called in a bomb squad and surveyed the package.

The area was cleared around 1:20 p.m., about 30 minutes after OU issued an emergency alert to students, asking them to stay away from the area.

A student reported the package to OUPD. OUPD then contacted the Norman Police Department’s bomb squad for assistance, said Norman Police Capt. Tom Easley.

Once the police got to the area, they took measures to ensure the safety of the area, but those procedures are classified, said Clay Bolin of the Norman Police Department’s bomb squad.

Sooners Against Sweatshops met with President Boren Friday, Sept. 6th to discuss affiliation changes with the Worker Rights Consortium.

Organization shows concern with current fair labor group Fair labor group may have conflict PAIGHTEN HARKINS

Assistant Campus Editor

OU’s Offices of Legal Counsel and Licensing are looking into requests made by members of Sooners Against Sweatshops, a group advocating for OU to affiliate itself with a new fair labor-monitoring

group.

Currently, the Fair Labor Association is monitoring the factories OU uses to produce merchandise to ensure they meet fair labor standards, but the Sooners Against Sweatshops members asked President David Boren in a meeting Friday to consider affiliating with the Worker Rights Consortium, said Luke Bartz, Sooners Against Sweatshops co-president

The reason the group is advocating for OU to switch its affiliation is because the Fair Labor Association receives the majority of its funding from the companies it’s going in to monitor, which presents a problem, Bartz said.

Pride: Alumni, fans send Boren complaints Continued from page 1 but Thrailkill was not in the majority. “Mr. Thrailkill was given a warm welcome when he arrived as the band director, and I would only hope that he would join in giving the new band director a hospitable welcome,� Boren said in the email.

After he found out Boren’s decision to choose Stolarik as director, Thrailkill sent a message to Pride alumni saying the committee had been searching for someone to change the pre-game, half-time and basketball performances by the Pride. “I am deeply saddened by what has happened to the national respect that Brian (Britt) and I have built over the past 42 years,� Thrailkill said in the message. “I have received emails and calls from band directors, and your decision has shocked them considering the total lack of respect nationally for the Wisconsin Band.�

Thrailkill served as Pride director for 30 years until he retired 12 years ago. As director, he established traditions that would be carried on by Brian Britt, who served as director for 12

years after Thrailkill. “[Britt] did a fabulous job of continuing tradition,�

OU Bands director William Wakefield told The Daily in March.

After years of tradition, Wakefield said Stolarik was chosen because OU was ready to focus on more creative elements and entertainment value. “Since we’ve had 42 years of continuity, we’re stepping out a little bit,� he said.

Following OU’s first football game on Aug. 31, 35 complaints about the Pride’s performance came to Boren through the President’s Action Line, according to the requested records.

Out of those complaints, several were from donors saying they would not continue donating money if the band’s performance did not change. “I do not consider the threat to withhold donations to be a significant problem,� Boren said in an email. “In fact, thus far, donations are running slightly higher this year compared to the same time last year, which was one of OU’s best years ever.�

As a whole, the complaints were from students, alumni and other fans

Continued from page 1 risk of bias,� he said.

Sooners Against Sweatshops would like OU to partner with the Worker Rights Consortium because they are an independent monitoring body, he said.

Boren thought the meeting went well and that it was both informative and constructive, university spokesman Michael Nash said.

In the meeting, Boren told the group he would get back to them with a response in two to three weeks after consulting with the Offices of Legal Counsel and Licensing, Bartz said.

the complaints about the band are coming from a relatively small group. “ The loud cheers and applause last week for the Pride of Oklahoma represents the general opinion of our fans and alumni far better than a small organized campaign. I hope that the band will move on and give their full cooperation to their new director,� he said.

Boren has relayed the information to the offices and they are looking to see how the potential partnership could impact OU and its partners, Nash said.

Many of the members of Sooners Against Sweatshops were a part of an organization called Alta Gracia Coalition.

The group met with Boren in the spring requesting that 50.1 percent of the apparel sold in the OU Bookstore be purchased from living wage companies like Alta Gracia. “This is a different cause,� Bartz said. “It’s a redirection of those energies.�

Bartz believes OU has leverage over the factories producing its merchandise because of the sheer number of people

willing to buy OU memorabilia.

If OU were to partner with the Worker Rights Consortium, OU could use that leverage to pressure factories to change their labor practices in order to use their services, he said. “There are a lot of problems all across the world, as anyone who’s paid any attention can see,� he said. “But the trick is to address the problems that you have leverage over.�

As of Aug. 23, 180 colleges and universities in the U.S. are now working with the Worker Rights Consortium, including Texas University and Notre Dame, according to the press release.

Attacks against Syria justified Re-educate yourselves on Islam O

n Sept. 7, President Obama advocated for a US military intervention in Syria to prevent the Assad regime from continuously using chemical weapons against its own people. Polls show that before the presidential speech, the public opinion tended to be opposed to such an action. So is the leading trend among the US representatives of both houses of Congress.

Despite his efforts to involve the U.S. in “limited and targeted action” in Syria, if the vote was to occur immediately, President Obama would most probably suffer a setback. This would send a “horrible signal” to the international community.

For most, it is out of the question to engage in another Iraq. Which was an expensive, purposeless, damaging war. The country has not entirely recovered from the 2008 economic crisis and war equals big figures. The evidence of the use of chemical weapons gathered by the American, British and French intelligence forces don’t call for action either; evidence is not strong enough at this stage. Sending loved ones into a distant country for matters not directly related to national security has become unbearable.

Syria — and this is more than just a geography lesson — is not Iraq.

President Obama said it: “No American boots on the ground,” only airstrikes on chemical weapons arsenals. Bombing such facilities from high above, probably with drones piloted thousands of miles away will protect marines’ lives, as well as hundreds, if not thousands, of civilians’ lives on the ground.

As for the evidence; contrary to the Iraqi swindle, there is evidence for the use of chemical weapons. There is evidence of Assad regime not being state member of the 1993 Chemical Weapons Conventionthat prohibits the use of such. There is also evidence of more than 100,000 casualties since the beginning of the civil war in 2011.

Finally, money. President Obama called for a “no open-ended operation,” once more only involving airstrikes, not soldiers. The intelligence knows where to hit. Maybe we should stop calculating now and begin thinking about something crucial.

One hundred thousand human lives have found death in this terrible ongoing civil war.

That’s more than the size of the football stadium we have here at OU. We cannot say we don’t know. We cannot say we must not act because Syria is a sovereign country, for I’m not sure I would call my country sovereign if it were to try to kill me.

Maybe the US, UK, France and others are broke. But what do our morals tell us? Is it responsible to see a scene of violence and just walk away? How does it feel to not give a hand when someone’s really in need? What is it like to be in Syria right now?

oday marks the 12th anniversary of the most tragic event in recent American history.

Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that the four airliners were not the only thing hijacked on that day. Those 19 men also hijacked my religion, and I want it back.

It is necessary, respectful, and demanded by propriety that we use this day to reflect in solace on all of the lives lost and families torn on that day. However, we should also recognize that this day is an opportunity not only to mourn, but to build a new future.

Twelve years later, there is still a deeply entrenched environment of mistrust and hostility against American Muslims. This fear and mistrust of Muslims is founded primarily upon a lack of understanding and ignorance.

According to a 2010 Pew research poll, 55 percent of Americans admitted that they do not know very much, if anything at all, about the Islamic faith. Only 53 percent said they knew someone who was a Muslim. It is even more alarming that from the time Pew started collecting these statistics in 2001, they have barely nudged forward.

The mistrust is also caused by us Americans listening to the wrong voices.

For far too long, we have allowed a plethora of pseudo-scholars, so-called “experts”, and ideologically driven activists to monopolize our national discourse on

Islam, turning Islamophobia into a multimillion-dollar industry.

Allow me a short message to my Muslim brothers and sisters. If we Muslims fail to tell our story, the vitriolic fabrications and tall tales about Islam present in mainstream media will only continue to increase.

Ignorance may be bliss, but in Islamic theology, humans were never promised heaven on earth. As such, we must continue to educate, and, perhaps more importantly, de-educate at every opportunity.

I would never venture to say that there is no radical presence among some Muslims.

Indeed, there is a radical presence amongst all religious groups today. However, it is important to realize that the radical few do not represent the majority of the world’s second largest religion’s adherents, most of whom believe in in the spirit of verse 32 of the fifth chapter of the Quran, which declares the taking of one human’s life to be equivalent to taking the life of all of humankind.

As I write these words, I can already hear all the voices, both Muslim and non-Muslim, telling me to leave it alone. “People are too sensitive,” they say. But I refuse, because I believe the hyper-sensitive environment which surrounds such events only serves to stifle the critical discussions that help us progress as a nation and a people.

Magazine tackles OSU recruitment sports columnist

A

s a child, one of my favorite short stories was Danish author Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” The moral of that story involves a situation where observers of an individual with overwhelming power share in the ignorance of an obvious fact, despite each of them recognizing the complete absurdity of the situation at hand.

I couldn’t help but be reminded of my favorite childhood short story this weekend when news broke that Sports Illustrated was running an in-depth investigative feature on alleged impropriety within the Oklahoma State football program from 2001-2007.

Allegations include: • Payments from coaches and boosters to players • A bonus program for players making big plays as recent as 2011 (former special teams coordinator and current West Virginia associate head coach Joe DeForest was accused of running the alleged bonus program) • Academic corruption involving the changing of players’ grades and tutors turning in work with athletes’ names on it • Sexual relations with hostesses and drug abuse among players in the college’s recruiting program This latest episode of

The Sooners run the ball against Oklahoma State in a Bedlam matchup Nov. 24, 2012. Currently, the Cowboys are the subject of a Sports Illustrated five-part series detailing multiple NCAA violations it uncovered while researching the program’s fast rise to the national spotlight. The magazine accuses OSU of paying players, academic fraud and providing drugs and sex to recruits.

Pistol Pete’s pistols misfiring caused another public relations panic in Stillwater.

OSU President Burns Hargis issued a press release Saturday to cover the college’s rear end. Hargis closed with this salacious statement of spin, “…OSU requires everyone affiliated with the university to follow the rules and adhere to the highest ethical standards.”

C’mon, man.

Hargis’ sentiment would be believable if this wasn’t the first time OSU had been accused of alleged improprieties involving its football program.

After the Cowboys’ 1988 season — when former wide receiver Hart Lee Dykes admitted to receiving $23,000 in benefits from an assistant coach to play for the team — the NCAA slapped the program with

This latest incident involving OSU football shows a continued lack of institutional control involving the football program. The NCAA should bring the hammer down on OSU given the level of precedence in how they handled previous improprieties involving USC and SMU. After all, the people in charge of running OSU’s athletic department have continually shown to observers of college football that they are wearing no clothes.

Season Preview

Offense struggles, defense becomes team’s biggest asset

Men’s golf to rely on young talent

Defense won the game against WVU

Trent Crabtree Sports Reporter

Joe Mussatto

Assistant Sports Editor

Late in the season a year ago, the key to victory for a struggling Oklahoma defense was this: Keep the opposing offense at bay and hope quarterback Landry Jones and company can put up big numbers.

For a defense that allowed 30 or more points in four of its final five games, the plan wasn’t a bad one. While it failed in the Cotton Bowl against A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and the rest of the Aggies, the plan worked against Baylor: 4234, West Virginia: 50-49 and Oklahoma State: 51-48.

Obviously, this wasn’t the actual game plan defensive coordinator Mike Stoops implemented, but the Sooner offense was good enough to bail the defense out when Stoops’ side couldn’t stop a soul.

O h, h o w t h i n g s h av e changed for the Sooners. The offense is far less efficient — the plan doesn’t work anymore.

Sure, the Sooners have been effective on the ground this season — their 305 rushing yards per game rank ninth in the nation — but OU’s offense lacks the aerial attack and big play ability Sooner fans have been so accustomed to in recent years.

After Trevor Knight completed just 50 percent of his passes and committed a trio of turnovers through the first

Titsworth and Saxton to lead the way for Oklahoma golf this season

Junior defensive back Trey Franks tackles West Virginia junior wide reciever Mario Alford Saturday. The Oklahoma defense is one of the team’s biggest strengths this season.

three quarters against West Virginia, coach Bob Stoops pulled his redshirt freshman quarterback and inserted junior fan favorite Blake Bell into the game.

However, no matter which signal caller head coach Bob Stoops gives the reins to this week versus Tulsa, neither has proven their ability to accurately throw the football.

But where the offense has regressed from a year ago, the defense is the No. 1 reason why the Sooners are off to a 2-0 start.

“This year, it’s a different defense compared to last year’s defense,” senior

linebacker Corey Nelson said. “Everyone’s just buying in, buying into what the coaches are coaching us, and everyone’s just buying into each other. We’re selfless.”

It’s a role reversal, a complete 180, and according to senior safety Gabe Lynn, it’s about time the defense has taken pressure off the offense, not the other way around.

“It’s much needed,” said Lynn, who had a fumble recovery and interception against West Virginia, . “It’s funny how it works out, you know — how we just flipped sides these past two games

— but I think the offense will come along.”

Whether the, so far one-dimensional, offense comes along or not, if the defense continues to play at this level, the Sooners should give themselves a chance in every ball game.

As coach Bob Stoops’ side gets deeper into conference play, don’t expect the defense to only allow the three and a half points per game they are now, but don’t expect to see opponents hang 40 on a regular basis either.

Joe Mussatto jmussatto@ou.edu

With the college golf season quickly approaching, the OU men look to make themselves into Big 12 contenders.

Entering a loaded fall and spring schedule, the Sooners will be all over the country, trying to show that they belong with conference powerhouses Texas and Oklahoma State.

Experience will be an issue with the loss of key seniors.

Seniors Abraham Ancer and Will Kropp will be gone, which will have an impact. Ancer is second in OU history in career scoring average with 72.42 average and third alltime in career birdies. Kropp has shot 14 career rounds in the sixties and has the third most eagles in school history.

Both have the distinction of shooting the lowest 18 hole scores in OU history, firing a pair of 63s at the 2011 Desert Shootout.

It will be hard to fill these voids. When the rest of the team was struggling, they knew Ancer and Kropp would be there to pick up the slack. This means the team aspect of college golf will be a focal point for the OU men this season.

In other words, the Sooners must find balance.

With the loss of these veterans, balance could be realized through young players like sophomore Beau Titsworth and junior Charlie Saxon, who have had success in key situations.

Titsworth — a Cleveland, Ohio native — played well his freshman campaign. He stepped up in last year’s NCAA championships, firing a career-low 66 in the second round. He also competed in all 13 of OU’s team tournaments last season. That experience will help him improve even more this season.

Saxon is coming off a tremendously successful season that saw him earn a top-20 finish at the Big 12 Championship and a win at the 2013 Lions Classic. This is crucial, because he experienced something rare for such a young player — winning individually. He knows he can go out and compete with the best. This confidence boost should help propel the team forward.

Crowds of people headed to the carnival rides at last year’s Oklahoma State Fair.

S

o your significant LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST other has decided it is in your best interest to attend this year’s state fair. Don’t panic. You will get through this.

The Oklahoma State Fair, in all its glory, rolls into town once a year. For 10 Luke Reynolds days, Oklahoma State Fair reynolds.luke5@gmail.edu Park is filled with rides, food vendors and enough events to keep a person busy for a month. Yet, with all of that stuff comes enough negative aspects to keep a person away from that entire area during those 10 days of “fun.”

So, if you do not make the decisions and find yourself at the gates of a modern-day hell. Again, do not panic, I have compiled a list of things to keep you smiling during your time at the State Fair:

It is hot, folks. Labor Day has passed, and we still have temperatures in the 100s. To combat the heat, dress like you don’t care what other people think of you. Break out the tank top and gym shorts. No one is looking.

really unlucky, you might get food poisoning from just one bite. That really happens.

While you are strutting around with your biceps (or lack thereof ) hanging out of your tank top, you are probably going to run into someone you know — the professor you cannnot quite figure out, your best friend’s overzealous mom who refuses to let the tradition of going to the fair go or, how could we forget, the attractive girl in your psych class who is now devouring a turkey leg. Sexy. All are possible options of people you might see at the fair. How to combat this? You cannot. You only can be prepared.

Fried butter, fried Oreos, Fried cheese, turkey legs, funnel cakes and Indian tacos. None of these things are good for your body. Are they good for your soul? Absolutely, but you will have to be careful. Eat too much of any of these things, and you will end up missing class for a couple of days while your body cleanses itself. Or, if you are

If you do not like going to the bathroom in public places, do not go to the fair. If you like having toilet paper, do not go to the fair. I am not saying all of the bathrooms at the fair are overflowing with human waste or lacking the necessary tools to have a pleasant pit stop, but I can honestly say, from experience, that several of the bathrooms are downright repulsive. Not that I blame anyone.

You cannnot expect a 10-day carnival with thousands of people to be spotless, but is a little bit of Purell in the restroom too much to ask for?

The Oklahoma State Fair is not a horrible place. In fact, it’s really a cultural experience, but as with many large events, there are downfalls. I am not saying do not go to the fair — these are just some things you might want to think about. Happy fair week!
