PRIDE CONTROVERSY
‘It’s for everyone after me’ Pride members concerned with future of band ARIANNA PICKARD • CAMPUS EDITOR Members of OU’s Pride of Oklahoma marching band were called into President David Boren’s office Tuesday after over a hundred members confronted their director with concerns after their first performance.
Pride’s leadership team and seniors were asked to meet in Boren’s office after addressing their director, Justin Stolarik, on Monday about issues they have with recent changes made to the band, said melophone player Isaac Blaxton.
In the meeting, Boren assured Pride Pride alumnus and Isaac’s father.

OPEN HOUSE
Campus Activities Council hosts open house for students Students interested in joining CAC should attend open house MOLLY EVANS
Assistant Campus Editor
Students interested in getting involved with Campus Activities Council, the event planning branch of OU’s Student Government Association, should attend open house Wednesday. All students can come to meet this year’s event chairs for each committee, which range from University Sing to Film Series to Homecoming, said KatieBeth Gardner, public relations chair. The open house will begin at 7 p.m. in the Jim Thorpe Multicultural Center, Gardner said. The hour-long session will have students breaking into different groups, according to the NADIA J ENCHASSI/THE DAILY committee that interests them, so they learn Ladan Radfar, mechanical engineering junior, gets a coke float on Aug. 21.

Gardner made a connection with the council’s program, Sooner Scandals, an annual Broadwaystyle performance showcase among greek and non-greek student organizations, after attending the open house her freshman year, she said. “This is where people really first come to get involved in CAC,” Gardner said. The open house not only benefits interested students but also event chairs by putting faces to all the CAC applicants through one-on-one interactions, Gardner said. “That chair is not just somebody who sits in an ivory tower,” Gardner said. “It’s somebody who’s [the student’s] friend and somebody to be their contact.” For those who cannot make the open house, applications for the various committees with their corresponding deadlines are available on the CAC website.

“There are people that are just very gung-ho about the changes and say we just need to support him and go forward, and there are others on the complete opposite end,” he said. “I’m somewhere in the middle. I think some of the changes are good — some of them are bad.” Blaxton said he’s mostly worried about freshmen performers who might not get the same experience he had over the last three years. “I just want everyone else after me to have the same experience as I had,” he said. “I had three awesome years in Pride up until this year.”
“The Wisconsin band uses a lot of chevron formations that look like the letter W in all their drills, and now our band does the same formations.” Ryan Lemons, Pride Alumnus
One of the changes made to the band this year was to decrease the number of freshmen members on the field. Freshman trombone player Jody King said he was upset about not being able to march on Saturday. He said he chose to come to OU when he could’ve played for North Carolina, and now he doesn’t feel like he’s going to get the same quality of experience. “[Freshmen] are who I’m fighting for,” Blaxton said. “It’s not for me — it’s for everyone after me.” M e m b e r s a l s o w a n ted OU’s original pregame p e r f o r ma n c e b a ck, b e cause they’re concerned the current performance matches the University of Wisconsin’s, he said. Pr ide alumnus Justin Brown sent The Daily still frames comparing the new Pride pregame drill with the University of Wisconsin pregame, and the two look identical. “Frustrating to see OU copying other universities rather than setting the standard for others,” said Brown, who graduated in 1996 after spending four years on the Pride drumline. Pride alumnus Ryan Lemons agreed that t h e p re g a m e s h o w h a s been changed to mimic Wisconsin’s. “ The Wisconsin band uses a lot of chevron formations that look like the letter W in all their drills, and now our band does the same formations,” said Lemons, who graduated in 2002 after
playing trumpet for Pride. After Saturday’s game, Pride alumni posted on the Pride of Oklahoma Band Alumni Facebook page concerns about changes to the performance they saw. “The band alumni page was turning into a fist fight, because there’s a very clear battle line that’s been drawn between people who say they’re going to back whoever the director is, and then there’s people who are like ‘that’s bullshit we’re not going to do that — it’s wrong’,” said Pride alumnus Nick Nicholson.

Give us a break, not another ticket
Parking problems a miscommunication
T
he parking issue opinion editor on our campus is starting to drive me crazy. A commuter parking pass cost me $195 for the school year. I thought it was going to be worth every penny, but as we Alex Niblett enter our third week of Alexandra.g.niblett@ou.edu school, I’m debating whether or not it’s even worth a dime. Unless I want to take a chance and hope a car miraculously deserts its sacred spot, I need to get to the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium parking garage by 8:45 a.m. to snag a remaining spot. The parking permit isn’t beneficial. Another problem is the abundant amount of parking tickets issued out everyday. When I drive up and down the parking garage, I almost always spot a ticket-distributor. They patrol the garage, scoping out the next unfortunate commuter to give a ticket to. The other day, I had to park at a parking meter because I had driven around parts of campus for 30 minutes trying to find a commuter parking spot. I put enough change in the meter to cover me for 1.5 hours and came back to my spot two minutes after the meter time was up. I didn’t notice the little yellow envelope resting under my windshield wiper. As I backed out of the parking spot, the nearby ticket disputer told me to put my window down. When he handed me the ticket, I asked, “I have a ticket, even though I paid for the last hour & a half?” He dryly informed me that I couldn’t dispute it because, technically, he was at my car when the meter reached zero minutes. I may sound skeptical, but I’m becoming convinced that they literally walk around and wait by the meters to distribute tickets. At this point, it’s tempting to just park somewhere and leave one of my collected yellow envelopes under the windshield wiper all day. Parking at the Lloyd Noble center may be my best bet in avoiding being a participant in the parking spot scavenger hunt or receiving parking tickets. The entire parking issue is a disappointment. To OU and the ticket patrols, give us a break. It’s enough that we have to pay a fee for the parking permit, don’t pettily penalize us. It’s not our fault the parking system is flawed.

If you spent any time on the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s first floor this past week and heard a wonderful melody coming from the cafeteria, it was probably the musical styling of participants in the Union Programming Board’s “Mid-Day Music� program. Volunteers offer their musical talents and time to make use of the piano located on the first floor. Here’s a little taste of what Tom White, a piano performance and piano pedagogy doctoral student, does and why he does it:
M
ornings can be stressful, and here in college land, who has time for breakfast when you’re already struggling to let go of the snooze button? Planning ahead can help, and these pre-made breakfast sandwiches are a quick alternative to settling for just a granola bar to get you going. I decided to put my own vegetarian twist on the recipe found on a blog called “Undressed Skeleton,� that’s full of great ideas for healthy snacks.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Scramble eggs in a medium sized bowl, mixing the diced bell pepper in at the end. I only used the egg whites out of personal preference, but including the yolk won’t change a thing in the cooking process. Evenly divide the scrambled egg mix into six of the spaces in your muffin pan, filling them about 1/3 of the way. Sprinkle pepper on top before putting in the oven to add some spice. Place the filled muffin pan into the oven for 10 minutes or until the egg becomes firm and golden around the edges.
Set the muffin pan aside to cool.
4 eggs Provolone cheese slices
Once the egg and cheese have been added to your sandwich, it’s time to wrap them up. You can use wax paper and tape or put your sandwiches in Ziplock bags.

Did you select your own music, and what made you choose that particular piece?
: :
Do you typically perform in front of crowds?
: :
What is your favorite piece of music?
Last year, I basically played pieces that were going to be in my recital, so I could practice playing them in front of audience. But my basic philosophy is to play some of the best classical music written for piano while students are casually eating lunch or reading in the Union and to expose them to this kind of music in a casual way and, hopefully, make a small difference in their day.
Wax paper Tape
As a doctoral piano student, it is expected that we perform often and in front of audiences. Recitals have been a constant part of my piano study, both as a graduate and undergraduate student. Playing at the Union is a much more relaxed environment than I’m used to, and that’s really what I like about it.
It’s early, you’re hungry and you only have about five minutes before you’ve got to be out the door. But wait, you definitely have frozen breakfast sandwiches that are just seconds away from satisfying that morning hunger. After freezing, these grab-and-go sandwiches can be heated up in the microwave for about 60 seconds on high, turning your sandwich over at the 30 second mark. Wrap in a paper towel to keep moisture in while reheating, and you’ve got breakfast ready to go. Once you’ve mastered planning ahead for breakfast, you can really get creative with what you put in them. Add bacon, other veggies or a different kind of cheese depending on your taste in early morning meals.
If I had to pick a favorite piano piece, it would be Beethoven’s “Waldstein Sonata.� There are so many reasons why that piece is amazing that if I tried to explain them all, I’d end up writing a book.

What made you want to participate in Mid Day Music?
I got involved with Mid Day Music last year when I played as a fundraiser for the Music Teachers National Association collegiate chapter at OU. This year, I decided to do it on my own just for fun.
ingredients
Warm up the English muffins by putting them in the toaster or placing the whole breakfast sandwich on an indoor grill or skillet.

Analysis
Offense debuts new look Read option allows Knight to use legs
‘Stripe the Stadium’ on Saturday Fans will be encouraged to “Stripe the Stadium” Saturday against West Virginia. It was done successfully last season against Notre Dame, and the athletic department has sponsored another “Stripe the Stadium” effort this season. Fans sitting in even numbered sections should wear crimson, and those sitting in odd numbered sections should wear white. Students sitting in the general admission student section should wear crimson. Those who are interested can purchase this season’s “There’s Only One Oklahoma” shirt and hat for the game. The items will come in both crimson and white and will be available at the OU Bookstore or online at shop.soonersports.com. During the game, the football team’s recent co-Big 12 title will be celebrated.

OU’s third offensive play from the line of scrimmage on Saturday night gave Sooner fans a glimpse of what they might come to expect this season. But understanding the two previous plays are just as important. Play No. 1: Read option for the Sooners, Trevor Knight hands off to Brennan Clay, no gain — the transformed offense didn’t take long to show up. Play No. 2: Knight’s throw is incomplete, intended for Jalen Saunders — a little shaky, but then again, it’s his first throw in front of 85,000 fans. So, on third and long, after two plays that didn’t produce, Trevor Knight takes the snap, sees no one open, and tucks it. The redshirt freshman quarterback making his first collegiate start scrambled for 24 yards and picked up the first down. We l c o m e t o t h e n e w Oklahoma offense. How many times in the Stoops era have we seen a quarterback comfortable picking up a third and long with his legs? Not many. Whether it was the nerves of making his first start or not, Knight looked far more confident in his ability to run the ball rather than throw it. While co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said he wants to see a better stat line through the air for his

Redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Knight runs the ball against Louisiana-Monroe Saturday. He rushed for 103 yards, the most by a Sooner quarterback since 2001. The Sooners debuted a new read option style of offense to better fit Knight and the other mobile quarterbacks on the roster.
quarterback, the coaching staff knows what they are going to get from Knight: A young signal caller that, if he finds a rhythm with his throws, will be a nightmare for opposing defenses to face. The San Antonio native finished with 103 rushing yards against LouisianaMonroe, the most by an OU freshman quarterback since Steve Collins in 1989, according to soonersports.com. But it wasn’t just Knight running around the Warhawk defense. Oklahoma’s backs totaled another 183 yards on the ground, including 66 from senior Damien Williams. The running backs ran

hard and were noticeably physical against a lesser quality defense. The ground game had to be counted on when the air strike wasn’t firing. Saturday, Knight and fellow quarterback Blake Bell
totaled just 124 yards through the air. In any other year for a Stoops team, this number would signal a terrible outing for the offense. Thirty-four points against a Louisiana-Monroe defense isn’t stellar in the land of the Big 12, but it’s far from terrible. Sure, like Heupel said, the Sooners want to be more efficient passing the ball, but for the first time, they don’t necessarily need to be. Gone may be the days of the usual 400+ passing yards, because Knight and his corps of running backs are doing things a little differently in Norman.
McLaurin named Big 12 offensive player of the week Monday Senior middle blocker Sallie McLaurin has been named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for her play through Sept. 1. The Sooners just wrapped up their play at the Holiday Inn West Invitational in Kalamazoo, Mich., where McLaurin was named the tournament MVP. She sallie led the Oklahoma offense with a .456 mclaurin attack rate and 4.10 kills per set. She also totaled a team-high 11 blocks, eight digs and four assists over the weekend. She is now second in the Big 12 in hitting percentage and tied for fourth in kills per set This award is McLaurin’s seventh weekly award and her second career Offensive Player of the Week distinction.
