GREEK HOUSING
Construction pushes fraternity to hotel Alpha Tau Omega members reside in NCED Conference Center Hotel RACHAEL MONTGOMERY Campus Reporter
An OU fraternity’s members have been living in a hotel for over a month as they await the completion of construction on their house this semester. With the official completion date of construction on their house being pushed to October, members of the Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity were unable to move into their new house in August. Instead, they are temporarily living at the NCED Conference Center and Hotel off Highway 9. Although the final completion date is set for sometime in October, members living in the hotel should be able to move in two to four weeks, said Jason Christian, Alpha Tau Omega member and mechanical engineering sophomore. Members were told just two weeks before school started the move-in date would be pushed back for construction on various parts of housing, such as the parking lot, Christian said. The delayed construction was largely due to rain and
other unforeseen factors. As of today, students have not yet received a set completion date from the building company. They expected to be out of the hotel by Sept. 15, but due to unforeseen building constraints, their stay will be extended until further notice, hotel general manager Yves Badaroux said. The hotel has no issue with extending their stay. “We are just playing it by ear,” Badaroux said. The members occupy 50 rooms, but there are more than 50 of them staying at the hotel because some share rooms SEE HOTEL PAGE 3

ENVIRONMENT
City works to reduce mosquito threat Workers help prevent spread of West Nile Virus BENNETT HALL Campus Reporter
The City of Norman has a plan to lessen the threat of West Nile Virus this mosquito season after four cases have been confirmed in nearby Oklahoma County. These numbers are down significantly from September last year, when there were 40 confirmed cases and two deaths, according to the Oklahoma City-County Health Department. The numbers are down due to heavy rains in July, that washed away many of the mosquito eggs that typically thrive in shallow standing pools of water, said Stephen Warren, a vector control expert for the City of Norman, leading mosquito prevention efforts. Despite heavy rains washing away many eggs, of the four confirmed cases of West Nile Virus this year, there has been one fatality, proving that even with fewer mosquitoes, the virus is still a threat, Warren said. Warren said the first step to control
the virus is for Norman residents to call the city with any questions or concerns after receiving bites in or around their homes. City workers will respond by going out and either fogging the area or setting small traps for the mosquitoes. The chemicals use fog are harmful to humans and the environment, so the city uses this process only when there are 50 or more mosquitoes in an area because a breeding ground is probably nearby, he said. The city uses less invasive, pesticide-filled mosquito traps on a day-today basis, Warren said. The traps are small, inexpensive and harmless to humans, he said. These traps are activated in the evening and attract mosquitoes with a light bulb, after which the mosquitoes are blown into a jar filled with pesticide, Warren said. Residents concerned with mosquitoes in their area can call the city and request that a trap be set up and maintained every few days by the pest prevention team, he said. Citizens can get a trap set up on their property with or without reports of mosquito activity. This serves as a

pre-emptive system to keep the mosquitoes away, he said. The City of Norman has been using these mosquito prevention tactics for the past 30 years and is pleased with the results, Warren said. Along with prevention measures like traps and aerosol fogging, there are the even more simple measures to abide by, he said. Residents should always use normal precautions, like making full use of bug sprays containing the effective chemical DEET, wearing long sleeves and pants when working outside and minimizing standing water in pots and low lying areas around their home, Warren said.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — A temporary hospital building is slated to open this year in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore after a deadly tornado struck the community’s hospital in May. Health officials promised to rebuild a permanent hospital after demolition crews began tearing down the 45bed facility and two adjacent medical office buildings in June. In the meantime, Norman Regional Health System officials said a temporary facility is expected to open in late November or early December, The Norman Transcript reported Saturday. The emergency and urgent care treatment facility will have CT and X-ray capabilities and a lab. That means outpatient lab services can be performed in Moore while the new hospital is being built. Joplin, Mo., also set up a temporary hospital after a deadly EF5 tornado hit the town in 2011. The same company that did the work there will lease modular units to the Norman Regional Health System in Oklahoma for two years. About 170 employees and 30 patients were inside the medical center on May 20 when the deadly twister moved from the nearby town of Newcastle toward Moore. Patients, employees and an estimated 300 people from the community took shelter in the building’s cafeteria on the ground floor of the main building as the tornado raked Moore. The tornado killed two dozen people and injured SEE HOSPITAL PAGE 3

Students looking for informal feedback on writing assignments can join writing groups led by other students this semester. Honors Writing Groups are entirely student-led and unique from other writing resources on campus because they offer informal, conversational peer feedback as opposed to structured guidance.

Thus, Honors Writing Groups will meet over a meal or hang out while casually talking about writing, he said. The other aspect of the groups will be electronic, using Google Documents to share writing and allow other members to provide comments. The groups will be organized by purpose of writing, offering help with everything from expository essays to lab reports, he said. Members can reveal their areas of writing proficiency and provide assistance to each other accordingly. Though affiliated with the Honors College, any student can join the groups, Dixon said. The group had an informational meeting on Thursday and will schedule formal meeting times as more students show interest.

Silence isn’t always golden — Applaud for Pride Our View: We join the others who want to see our marching band performances reflect tradition, but we don’t agree that being silent after band performances is the right way to influence that change.
Students and guests were welcomed to last weekend’s game by more than the ticket scanners; they were greeted with various chalked messages lining the sidewalks. Some were etched, “save the pride,” while others said, “bring tradition back.” No matter how each square of pavement’s words were strung, every message encouraged one common, specific thing — be silent. In an effort to extend the message of disappointment toward this year’s new Pride of Oklahoma director and the marching band’s lack of enthusiastic presentations, anonymous people chalked these messages across the north part of campus to motivate the lively crowd to fall silent instead of to applaud the Pride’s performances. We share the same desire to bring tradition back and to witness the Pride perform in a similar manner it used to, but we don’t agree with the concept of silence to create this change. Chris James/The Daily Sometimes, silence is appropriate, but not in this The Pride of Oklahoma’s drum line plays during Saturday’s game against Tulsa Golden Hurricane. case.

T
he past few weeks have taught us all a valuable lesson: change is not always for the better. I am speaking, of course, of the new direction of the Pride of Oklahoma under Pride director Justin Stolarik. It would be easy to take this letter in the usual direction. Yes, Stolarik is not qualified. Yes, he did use the Wisconsin W’s in our home opener against Louisiana Monroe. Yes, his drills and song selections are incredibly dull. Unfortunately, there are no signs from the university that changes will be made. If we have to live with Stolarik, we might as well get the most out of him. A new band director can bring lots of change, and it does not all have to be bad. A few semesters ago, a woman in my Diversity in the Workplace class told her story of trying out for drum major in the Pride. I personally cannot confirm or deny her story, but the impression she was given was that regardless of her skill or merit, Oklahoma was simply not ready for a female drum major. This is now my fourth football season at OU and my fourth season to watch a male run out on the field in the iconic strut that Sooners have come to know and love over the years. I am not writing this to attack any drum majors, past or present. I simply have not found any evidence of past female drum majors at OU. That is a problem. Maybe there is one on the books but not in recent history. Surely one female would have been the drum major in my time here. Many would try to write it off as a coincidence, not discrimination of any sort. That is simply naïve, and it is time we changed the culture here in Oklahoma. It is time we encouraged more female leadership at this university. This should not be an issue in 2013. I am not saying we should just select a woman as the next drum major. What I am saying is that when the right woman comes along, we should make sure that she gets the position on her own merit and that discrimination is not standing in her way. So Dr. Stolarik, are you listening? You do have the ability to make great changes, and if you are here for the long haul, why not make this one of them?

In Oklahoma’s 51-20 victory over Tulsa, the Sooner offense looked more traditional than anything the team had used earlier this season. The defense, while holding the Golden Hurricane to two touchdowns and a pair of field goals, looked a little more lax. The Sooners are about to take a bye week before heading to Notre Dame, but there are still some major takeaways from Saturday’s game.

SHARE THE LOVE Bell’s 413 passing yards came from a collection of receivers. Ten different receivers got their hands on the ball at one point or another. Leading the way was sophomore receiver Sterling Shepard. He had a career high of eight catches for 123 yards and two touchdowns. This was Shepard’s first multi-touchdown game. Also making an appearance was senior receiver Jaz Reynolds. He hauled in an 82-yard catch early in the first quarter. Not only did the catch give Reynolds 1,000 career-receiving yards, it also became Oklahoma’s longest non-scoring reception in school history.
3.
BELLTHROWER? Junior quarterback Blake Bell got the starting nod Saturday and made the most of his opportunity. In the midst of his 413 yard outing, he broke the Oklahoma record for most yards by a quarterback in his first start. The previous record holder? Sam Bradford. Not too bad for a guy most thought could only run the ball. The Belldozer became the Bellthrower. He looked calm and collected in the pocket and handled himself as if it wasn’t his first career start. It looks like all those third-down and goal-line conversions helped Bell in the long run. Bell did so well that coach Bob Stoops announced Bell would start in Oklahoma’s next game against Notre Dame.
EARLY STURGGLES After two games with over 300 rush yards, the run game took a backseat this week. In part, Tulsa forced a more pass-heavy game, but also, the coaching staff said they wanted to establish Bell as a passer. Senior running back Brennan Clay took the most carries out of the bunch but finished with less than 50 yards for the day. Fellow senior Roy Finch led the group in yards with 68. He was helped by a 48-yard run in the fourth quarter. But the surprise of the game was freshman Keith Ford. Coaches raved about Ford all through the off-season, but he proved himself to be a tough, physical back Saturday. While Finch succeeds in space and Clay does best off-tackle, Ford might be the best between-the-tackles back on the Oklahoma roster.

TAKING IT EASY The Sooner defense has been the surprise of the season so far, but they faced their share of struggles against Tulsa. The unit allowed more points Saturday than it had allowed all season. After the game, defensive coordinator Mike Stoops admitted his players did not prepare as strongly as they should have for the Tulsa matchup. Oklahoma heads into a bye week before heading to Notre Dame for their first away game of the season. The defense should have no difficulty finding motivation to work hard for that matchup.
TIME OUT Senior running back Damien Williams did not see the field Saturday. Bob Stoops said Williams was suspended for team issues but would return this week to prepare for Notre Dame. Senior defensive back Aaron Colvin also did not play this week after sustaining a broken tooth and possible concussion against West Virginia. True freshman Stanvon Taylor played in his absence. Taylor, along with senior defensive back Gabe Lynn, also sustained injuries during the game, but Stoops said they would both return to practice in the next couple of days.

Oklahoma sputters in North Texas loss Sooners fall to 3-5, lose first home game this season RYAN GERBOSI
Soccer Beat Reporter
What started as a strong weekend for Oklahoma soccer quickly turned sour. The Sooners dominated defensively Friday, beating Oral Roberts 1-0 on a strong showing from the back line. Sunday, however, the defense was outplayed and overmatched against North Texas. OU fell to the Mean Green at home 5-0. The weekend began as well as it could for OU. After 75 minutes of defensively oriented soccer, junior forward Daisy Cardona was able to break through and score the only goal of the game. After Jamie Iurato directed an incoming cross at the goalkeeper, Cardona was able to push the deflection into the net. Cardona came into the game as a substitute and wanted to make a mark on the game immediately. “ My whole mentality going in the second half was that I was going to score,” Cardona said. “I told the other girls that were going in with me that we have to go in and make a difference, and it happened to be me.” Cardona’s second goal of the season put OU in front

Sophomore forward Devin Barnett plays in the Sooners’ 5-0 loss to UNT Sunday. Oklahoma started the weekend hot, beating ORU Friday, but failed to score against North Texas. They are now 3-5 on the season before heading to Utah this weekend.
late, but the defensive effort from her teammates won the game for the Sooners. Oral Roberts was unable to put a shot on goal and had only two shots all game. “We didn’t just drop back, especially when fatigue became a factor,” coach Matt Potter said. “We kept our discipline and kept our organization ,and from that, it allowed us to maintain possession.” While the Oral Roberts game followed Potter’s game plan, Sunday’s effort against North Texas fell far short of expectations.
“When you don’t execute [the game plan], good things don’t happen. We didn’t play as well as we’ve come to expect. It’s not our standard and all I can do is apologize to the people who came out to watch. ” MATT POTTER, SOCCER COACH
The trouble started for the Sooners in the 10th minute. After barely missing over the bar on her first shot, UNT forward Amber Haggerty drilled a free kick from the right into the net, giving the Mean Green a lead they
wouldn’t relinquish. The OU defense had a difficult time handling North Texas star Rachel Holden. The freshman is UNT’s leading scorer this season and added three more to her total against OU.
Potter’s pleasure after beating ORU was matched by his frustration after losing to North Texas. “When you don’t execute [the game plan], good things don’t happen,” Potter said. “We didn’t play as well as we’ve come to expect.” “It’s not our standard, and all I can do is apologize to the people who came out to watch.” Freshman forward Caren Nelson echoed Potter ’s sentiment, saying that getting away from the game plan ultimately doomed the Sooners.
“We just didn’t do things well and didn’t put out our best effort,” Nelson said. The S ooners are now 3-5 this season and 2-1 at home. With Big 12 play fast approaching, OU heads to Utah to take on No. 6 BYU and Utah next weekend. The trip starts against BYU in Provo Friday night. Ryan Gerbosi rgerbosi@ou.edu
