sexual assault, three of which are classified as forcible rape, according to police reports. The increased number of these reported sexual assaults may not be because of an actual increase of these attacks on campus, said Clarke Stroud, vice
president for Student Affairs and dean of students. Any report of sexual assault is disconcerting for OU, and the university has made a concentrated effort to give students the resources they need with programs SEE ASSAULT PAGE 2
‘Julius Caesar’ takes a modern twist
Arezzo campus opens course in July PAIGHTEN HARKINS Campus Reporter
A new microbiology study abroad program will infect OU’s Arezzo campus next July and make it easier for science majors to earn credit while abroad. The summer program will include OU’s basic immunology and pathogenic microbiology courses and will join two other science programs already offered in Arezzo — Organic Chemistry/ Chemistry & Wine Culture and Chemistry & Art. Science classes offered abroad are a rare phenomena for a number of reasons, immunology professor Casie Collamore said in an email. “I think part of the rarity is because it seems daunting to offer hard science courses in a four week time frame,” she said. “Some subjects just can’t be tailored to fit such a tight schedule and expect the students to really absorb the material. Another problem is that many hard science faculty also have research labs that require their attention, and it is difficult to leave the lab bench and their students for a long period of time.” This isn’t the first time the microbiolog y department has attempted to offer classes abroad, Collamore said. A few years ago, pathogenic microbiology professor Tyrrell Conway submitted a proposal to teach a microbiology class, but it was denied because it wasn’t going to be taught alongside a second course. As microbiology advisor, Collamore spoke with a number of microbiology students who wanted to study abroad but couldn’t because none of the offered classes SEE ABROAD PAGE 2

OU’s Financial Education and Counseling Center is killing two birds with one stone with a program that provides jobs and work-study opportunities to students and offers free help to academic departments. T h e S t u d e n t Wo r k e r Assistant Team program provides academic departments with filing, mail campaigns, data entry and general office duties. “[The program] helps students earn a living as well as network to other departments,” coordinator Shanna Stanton said. “It helps departments who are low

Economist has founded multiple financial groups EMMA HAMBLEN Campus Reporter
An economist named “the father of financial futures” by Time Magazine in 2007 will discuss his most recent publication on financial derivatives at a dinner and lecture at OU next month. Richard Sandor uses personal experience in the global markets to illustrate the power of f i n a n c i a l i n n ov a t i o n in “Good Derivatives : A stor y of Financial and Environmental Innovation,” according to an OU press release. The reception will start at 6 p.m. on Oct. 1 in Sandy Bell Gallery in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. Dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. A book-signing will follow the dinner, university spokesman Michael Nash said in an email. “Mr. Sandor is one of Amer ica’s most wellknown economists. His expertise in global economics will make for a very interesting discussion on today’s current financial climate,” Nash said.

UOSA plans another big tailgate party The University of Oklahoma Student Association will hold its tailgate party for the Kansas State football game from 3 to 6 p.m.
Saturday at the intersection of Lindsey and Asp. Thomas Owens, cochair of UOSA’s Sooner Freshman Council, said the amount of food will be comparable to what UOSA had at the latest tailgate. Between four and six hundred hot dogs and three cases of chicken sandwiches were bought for the Florida A&M tailgate party, Owens said, and
600 to 1,000 people attended. UOSA Vice President Rainey Sewell said many of the supplies and food items for the tailgate are donated by Housing and Food Services even though UOSA sponsors and hosts the event.

Record number of research awards received OU’s Norman campus faculty received an all-time high in research awards this past year. The Norman campus received a record $93 million in research awards for the 2012 fiscal year, according to a press release. “During a challenging economy, our faculty worked exceptionally hard to achieve this remarkable record, which benefi ts the state of Oklahoma by continuing to spur economic growth,” President David Boren said in the release.
Norman campus research expenses have increased by more than 70 percent over the past 10 years. This funding will be used to support a new department of the Interior Climate Science Center, renewal of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Research and a new Center of Biomedical Research Excellence, according to the release.

Sooners to battle with Bears at home Baylor leads the Big 12 in 10 of 14 offensive categories Ross Stracke Sports Reporter
It has been three games since the OU soccer team stunned the nation and took down powerhouse Oklahoma State, but in that time, the Sooners have two losses and one tie and will host a tough Baylor squad at 7 tonight at John Crain Field. Tough even might b e an understatement at this point. Statistically, the Bears are dominating the Big 12, leading the league in 10 out of 14 categories and every offensive category except corners. Junior defender Annalisa Hall said she has taken notice of a different category the Bears are leading in, fouls. “They are more of an athletic team, and that’s what I have heard that they rely on is their athleticism,” Hall said. “I think it’s going to be more of them bodying up on us. It’s going to be a very physical game, not so much actually playing soccer.” Coach Matt Potter said

he is eager for the challenge Baylor poses. “I hear good things about them collectively as a team,” Potter said. “Obviously, they have got their threats up front, but I think collectively as a team that’s what I’m
excited to see.” To beat Baylor, the Sooners are going to have to play much better than they have recently. Last Sunday, they were shut out by SMU and gave up more goals (three) than they had allowed in a
single game all season. Junior midfielder Samantha Howell said OU’s recent play hasn’t reflected the hard work the players put in every day. “We are a pretty competitive team, so it’s whether
we can take what we do and practice and translate it into the game,” Howell said. “I don’t think we have been beat, just beaten ourselves.” Potter said the outcome of the Sooners’ games doesn’t always reflect how good the

teams they played actually are. “Some teams we’ve made look better than I think they were,” Potter said. “Is [Baylor] the best team we have faced so far? Maybe. I don’t know that until we get to play the game.” Howell said Baylor is a team that causes problems the Sooners haven’t seen since playing Oklahoma State. “We are expecting a very aggressive team, something we haven’t seen since the OSU game,” she said. “[Baylor] doesn’t have a star player on their team. They move the ball well, but they are very aggressive. That’s how we’ve heard they win games and that’s how they’ve won games in the past.” Luckily, the Sooners play the Bears in Norman where they have been dangerous (3-2-1) so far in the season. One other thing Oklahoma has going for it is that it has played to the level of their competition, and this upcoming competition is good.

HOROSCOPE By Bernice Bede Osol
Copyright 2012, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2012 Make an effort to keep all your promising avenues open in the coming months, especially with persons for whom you’ve done some big favors in the past. If they’re hankering to repay you, they will need a direct route. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Usually you’re a pretty good judge of character, yet for some reason you could be a bit gullible and taken in by a person pretending to be something that he or she isn’t. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It’s OK to focus more on the big picture rather than on its details, but in order to function effectively, you need to be cognizant of both.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You’d be wise not to try to keep up with friends who are able to spend far more than you can. If you find yourself along for the ride you might use funds that would be better saved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It’s highly likely that you’ll allow yourself to be influenced by a pal who has good salesmanship abilities but faulty judgment. You’ll regret it if you let this person call the shots. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you find yourself having an inclination to dominate conversations, remember, matters that may be significant to you are not of equal importance to your friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Guard against the urge to overindulge mentally, physically or
financially. If you’re participating with friends in something fun, don’t cram all your high living into one experience. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Friends and close associates are aware of your recent accomplishments, so you should stop tooting your horn. The noise you produce will begin to sound sour. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Show enthusiasm and be optimistic as possible, but also be realistic. Make sure any rose-colored outlook is founded upon a truly feasible premise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you’re a “softie,� your generous nature is likely to be imposed upon. Someone who picks up on this will try to manipulate you to his or her advantage. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your position with another is not as strong as you might want to lead yourself to believe. Take it slow and don’t rely on the other party more than is warranted. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be realistic about any problem that you have to deal with and know that it won’t automatically take care of itself. Don’t sweep it under the rug -- you might instead create a dust storm. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Why expose yourself to a large crowd that could easily bore you when you could be with a few good pals whom you always enjoy? You’ll be happier with fun, close friends right now.

GO AND DO ‘Caesar 2012’ When: 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and next weekend Where: Weitzenhoffer Theatre
Megan Deaton meggiejennie@ou.edu
In an election year, few plays are better suited for audiences than “Julius Caesar.” OU’s Peggy Dow Helmerich School of Drama’s production of the classic opens this weekend and puts a modern twist on a tragic tale that warns of the dangers of political ambition. For those unfamiliar with the plot, “Julius Caesar” is William Shakespeare’s tale of how Caesar was slain by Roman senators and the chaotic aftermath. The OU performers retained Shakespeare’s classic prose in their rendition, although there were many major changes to the play, including an entire shift in time period. Shakespeare’s version of “Julius Caesar” was set in 44 B.C., while University Theatre’s version transports viewers to the year 2012,
complete with televisions and iPhones. Guns take the place of swords and an ereader replaces the classic scroll for an entirely modern setting. The intimate setting of the Weitzenhoffer Theatre allows for close interactions between the viewers and actors. With such a modern setting, the actors are hard to differentiate from the theatergoers in everyday clothing. Nevertheless, it was clear that great care was taken in all of the costume and set designs. The set remained unchanged throughout the show but was versatile enough to let the audience’s imagination form the setting. With a balcony serving as a political platform, the set mimicked a political rally, but a marble platform

The play is a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” setting the play’s power struggle in the framework of a modern political election.
and stone walls sent a throwback to the Julius Caesar of early Rome. TV screens on both sides of the stage provided the perfect updated touch to the show and flashed footage from political rallies, displaying everyone from John F. Kennedy to Adolf Hitler. At first, the placement
of Shakespearean prose in such a modern setting seemed strange. However, as the plot evolved, it was easy to see how times may have changed, but the core principles of the play still hold true in modern society. Violence and greed, driven by pure political ambition, can corrupt and
destroy the most honorable of men. Fitting with the time period change, the gender roles in the University Theatre production were completely switched in some cases. Most importantly, Caesar was portrayed as a woman, while her husband took the traditional female role of
Calpurnia. Megan Deaton is an international and area studies and journalism junior.

Local band sticks together many years after graduation Tree Piece to perform at Gray Owl Coffee tonight

Nedbalek and Praizner also are in a six-piece band, The Samurai Conquistadors, which Nedbalek described as having “a pretty strict vision” compared to the riffing, laidback nature of Tree Piece. The three initially bonded over their mutual admiration for Norwegian instrumental rock outfit The Samuel Jackson Five. That, combined with the fact that none of them can sing, Morgan said, led them to the decision that Tree Piece would be an instrumental band, too. “ The biggest focus of Tree Piece has been to play SPIRITS

Some high school relationships really are meant to last. As is the case with the three members of Norman band Tree Piece — Geo Morgan, Zach Nedbalek and Josh Praizner — who have been together since graduating from Norman North in 2007 and 2008. Tree Piece will be playing a show at Gray Owl Coffee tonight, marking the band’s first performance in about five months. Morgan and Praizner met in jazz band in high school, and Nedbalek knew them both from being in a different band, Action!, with each of them. “We’ve all just been kind of jamming together in all different bands, and then we just decided to start this up as a fun little side project,” Nedbalek said. What began strictly as a way to let loose, he said, turned into something a bit more. “It started out as just for fun, and to a big extent it still is,” Nedbalek said. “When we started this, we were all in other bands that were really serious, so this was kind of our excuse to get together and play music and not over think it.”

whatever came naturally to us, and this is most definitely it,” Morgan said. “I’m not going to worry about the fact that we don’t have a singer just because most other bands do. And I don’t feel it in any way limits our ability to be expressive.” Tree Piece combines guitar, bass, saxophone and drums to create its signature instrumental sound. Other than The Samuel Jackson Five, the band members said they count such artists as Dilute, Piglet, Andrew Bird, Victor Wooten and John Coltrane as influences. Morgan said they like to experiment with the way they create the music, thus making up for any depth that may be lost with the lack of a lead singer. “We don’t have vocals, don’t really dig electronic sounds and frequently use odd time signatures, major keys and more colorful chord shapes,” Morgan said. “Not intentionally, exactly, but
