ALPHA DELTA GAMMA FIRE

House remains unlivable Investigation for the Alpha Delta Gamma fire ongoing SHAIDA TABRIZI Campus Reporter

Six weeks after the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority house caught on fire and displaced the women living there, officials are still unsure of what caused the fire. The investigation into the cause of the fire is still in progress and has yielded no new results, said Jim Bailey, chief deputy of the Norman Fire Department. While the house looks livable from the outside, damage from the fire, as well as interior flooding caused by a burst pipe has rendered it uninhabitable until fall 2015, said Kylie Frisby, president of OU’s Upsilon chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta. After the fire, Alpha Gamma Delta

women were offered their choice of university housing in both of OU’s apartment complexes, Traditions Square and Kraettli Apartment, and the residence halls, according to Daily archives. Currently, there are 41 women staying in OU facilities, 16 in Cate Center and 25 in Traditions Square apartments, said Amy Buchanan, assistant director of marketing and communications for OU Housing and Food Services. Sooners Helping Sooners began work accepting donations to help the women displaced by the fire the day after it happened, according to Daily archives. The most recent update from The OU Foundation reported that Sooners Helping Sooners has received about $4,500 for the Alpha Gamma Delta fire, said Carmen Bao, associate director of Operations and Student Organizations, in an email.

Sooners Helping Sooners has also contributed $15,500 toward aiding the students who lived in the Alpha Gamma Delta house, Bao said. Sooners Helping Sooners officials not only helped them financially but also helped the women with dry cleaning to get traces of smoke from their clothes, Frisby said. Despite lacking a house, during spring rush, Alpha Gamma Delta recruited 40 new women, Frisby said. The fire took place on Frisby’s second day of presidency, and while it has been stressful, she has enjoyed working to fix the house, such as helping to choose an architect for the reconstruction, Frisby said. “It’s been awesome working with alumni and OU officials to find a new place to live,” Frisby said.

Speakers to kick off Eating Disorder Week Event will spread awareness and aid to students through Goddard resources KELLY ROGERS Campus Reporter

An OU alumna is speaking to current students about the importance of healthy eating habits for National Eating Disorder Week. Janice Blakely graduated from OU with a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1964 and later went Janice Blakely on to receive a master’s degree in library science. But between the studying and playing sports, there was another part of her life that no one knew about, Blakely said. “It’s a secret disease,” Blakely said, referring to the multiple eating disorders she suffered from, beginning at age 9. From Sunday to this upcoming Saturday, speakers, such as Blakely, and events will raise awareness for eating disorders, to educate those who may not know much about the topic and encourage those who may be struggling with one to seek help. With this weeks theme being “I had no idea,” Blakely expresses the same feeling by describing her experience growing up with multiple eating disorders. “I just thought I was clever,” Blakely said. “No one talked about these things when I was growing up.” After suffering from bulimia, anorexia and binge eating on her own for 36 years, Blakely decided to seek help from her doctor at age 45. “I’m in recovery,” Blakely said. “I have a support team, and I’m very grateful for them.” Blakely said a person cannot recover alone, and organizations like the National Eating Disorder Association are helping more and more people find the support they need to tackle their disorders. Registered as a volunteer speaker with the National Eating Disorder Association, Blakely wants to share her story with others to raise awareness for this personal and potentially life threatening issue. OU will have Health Huts set up on campus and an informational table in Oklahoma Memorial Union where students can get more information about National Eating Disorder Awareness week, said Maggie Pools, a registered nurse and the health promotion coordinator

HISTORY

Campus archivists complete congressman’s collection Carl Albert Congressional Library adds papers of longtime Oklahoman legislator KATE BERGUM Campus Reporter

After years of sifting through about 400 boxes of papers, archivists at the Carl Albert Congressional Library finished sorting through a collection of materials by James Jones, a Tulsa area congressman from 1973 to 1986. The Jones papers are a good addition to the archives because of Jones’ distinguished career and passion for budget and tax issues, the library’s director Cindy Simon Rosenthal said. “Any time you give us someone who had a long career, a leadership position that was substantial and who had a cause, you’re working with a collection that will have endless value to researchers,” Rosenthal said.

Ethical apparel

Students fight for compassionate clothing Sooners Against Sweatshops pen letters, compete with rival Mike Brestovansky Campus Reporter

OU’s fair labor awareness group began a new letter-drop campaign to increase the amount of ethically-made apparel available at the OU Bookstore. Sooners Against Sweatshops is competing with OSU’s branch, which is holding a similar campaign to see which school can get more ethically-produced clothing available on campus. Currently, the OU Bookstore only has one rack of clothing that has been produced by Alta Gracia Apparel, a Dominican fair trade clothing manufacturer, said Leah Kennedy, Sooners Against Sweatshops co-president. Companies like Nike and Adidas, which are notorious for their unfair labor practices, produce the majority of available clothing at the bookstore, Kennedy said. “According to our research, Notre Dame has a lot of Alta Gracia clothing available on their campus, so we thought, ‘If they can, why can’t we?’” Kennedy said. The group is pushing Alta Gracia because several of its members traveled to the factory and were impressed by how employers treated workers, Kennedy said. Despite urging from the group, OU’s

Education graduate student and OU Bookstore sales associate Symone Bryant sorts Alta Gracia apparel Wednesday. Sooners Against Sweatshops will be starting a friendly rivalry with Oklahoma State University to see which school can stock more of this fair-trade clothing label in their respective stores. Currently, the OU bookstore has one rack of Alta Gracia tees and sweatshirts.

Bookstore Director Tina Wieden said the Follett Higher Education Group, the bookstore’s operator, is committed to providing products that are ethically manufactured. Wieden said Follett was the first college bookstore retailer to demand vendors

History: Staff finishes filing, adds documents to growing collection Continued from page 1 days he worked eight hours on the collection. “There are days when you think you can’t stand to look at another ream of facts and figures of tax policy,” Lay said. “And then there are some days when you find a letter from a constituent and you think, ‘Wow, this guy is really passionate about what he believes.” Psychology senior Heather Bateman, who has worked at the archives for three years, said that while

sorting through 30 years’ worth of newspaper clippings, she gained an appreciation for complexity of the political process. “It’s not like School House Rock, where you learn, ‘I’m Just a Bill,’” Bateman said. Andrew Gourd, an anthropology and library information studies graduate student, found a letter written by his grandmother while sorting through the papers. “It was just pure coincidence,” Gourd said. “Her name was just sitting on the top of a folder.” Additionally, Gourd said

he realized he wanted to pursue library and informational sciences as a dual degree because of his archiving experience. Archives officials are trying to collect the papers from all Oklahoman legislators, Rosenthal said. Lay said her and other library staff are available to help students learn how to utilize the archive system. “It looks intimidating, but we’re here to help,” Lay said.

Sarah Khaleghipour, Junior elementary education major, works on James Jones archives at Monnet Hall. The OU archive department just finished processing a big collection on James Jones, a former Oklahoma Congressman from 1973 to 1986.

The bookstore’s management is continuously seeking out and supporting fair trade companies like Alta Gracia, Wieden said. On Friday, Sooners Against Sweatshops members dropped a letter off at OU President David Boren’s office, to inform him of the cause and request a meeting with him. The group will continue to leave a letter every week until Boren responds. “We might include some cookies, too,” Kennedy said. Nadir Nibras, an OSU student involved with their Alta Gracia campaign, said while it is unfortunate that most university apparel is being made by people who are not making a dignified living wage elsewhere, the OU rivalry is beneficial for the cause. “I think the competition between OSU and OU to get more Alta Gracia clothing on campus is a great idea,” Nibras said. “It’s a good way to use the healthy rivalry that our universities have to help make the world a better place.” Sooners Against Sweatshop’s new campaign follows the success of last semester’s campaign, which led to OU becoming an official affiliate of the Worker Rights Consortium, an independent labor rights monitoring organization. “We’ll be thanking President Boren for working with us last semester, and hopefully he’ll respond quickly, before OSU beats us,” Kennedy said.

“The life-size display will help draw people to the table with facts about the average American woman’s body compared to Barbie, an impossible goal,” Pools said. Although eating disorders immediately trigger a gender divide, Blakely said, this is an issue that doesn’t discriminate. More and more males are becoming body conscious, and eating disorders can affect anyone, Blakely said. Goddard has resources for students who are seeking help from counselors and dietitians to help students with eating disorders and body image disturbances, Pools said. While recovering, Blakely channeled her thoughts into writing as a therapeutic way for her to cope, she said. After writing numerous poems and short

stories inspired by her conditions, Blakely said she realized she needed to share her experiences with others to let them know they are not alone. “College is one of the most vulnerable times,” Blakely said. “This can affect your social life, physical health and even your relationships, and I think this is the age group that needs to be especially aware.” It was a long road for Blakely, filled with four hospitalizations and support groups, but it was her vibrant and accepting attitude, she said, that helped her get to the recovery stage she is in now. “It’s not a choice. It’s an illness,” Blakely said. “And if my story can reach out to at least one person and inspire them to ask for help, I would be fulfilled.” More information about eating disorders and awareness events can be found on the National Eating Disorder Association website.

Teach-In an invaluable experience Our View: OU’s third Teach-In offers students an opportunity to learn about a war that OU does not offer a specific class on, so we encourage students to take advantage of the full day.

We know a lot of students wish they could get a college experience — friends, parties and freedom — without the stressful part of that experience: classes. However, what we have to remember is that, first and foremost, we are here for the classes and to earn degrees that will change our lives. In addition to typical classes, OU affords students the opportunity to hear from experts on a plethora of subjects through special lecture sessions, such as the annual Teach-In event. March 10 will mark OU’s third Teach-In, and the focus of this year’s event will be the Civil War, according to The Daily’s archives. The all-day event is open to everyone and will include both a lunch and dinner, The Daily reported. We believe OU’s Teach-In is an awesome opportunity for students to hear from historians about a pivotal time in U.S. history, and there’s free food too! When else in our lives will we be invited, for free, to learn from professors from across the nation about the Civil War, a war that changed the course of the U.S. forever? Post-graduation there will be limited free lectures, concerts, operas and plays to attend. Outside of these four years, we will most likely never again receive the cultural opportunities we are offered at OU — at least not without a hefty price tag. We urge students to attend the The Our View Teach-In and take advantage of is the majority the learning opportunities availopinion of able at OU on a daily basis. We The Daily’s love TED Talks, and those are the eight-member equivalent of an extra lecture, so editorial board why not get out of bed and go to a real-life lecture event?

secure some free grub. And who knows, you might learn something. In fact, we can almost guarantee you will learn something new about the Civil War during the Teach-In. With lectures like “Visualizing the Civil War: Three American Artists” and “Where Did Freedom Come From?” there is little doubt you will hear facts about the Civil War you never knew before. Remembering and learning about our past are so important in understanding where we’ve come from and where we’re going. Please, attend the Teach-In and revel in the excitement of becoming

better educated about the history of your own country. There was a whole lot more to the Civil War than a bearded man in a top hat and Yankees versus Confederates. And really, how else could students better spend their time on a Monday in March than by expanding their knowledge base and gaining a better understanding of an event that helped shape the identity of the U.S.?

‘Great War’ a tough lesson learned for world Opinion Columnist

We need a generation that encourages unbiased opinions and supportive remembrances about the war.”

Rich Turnbull rturn021@ou.edu

ecently, I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by historian Jay Winter. Winter is a professor at Yale University and is a subject expert on World War I. Typically known as the “Great War,” World War I was the first war of its kind. Many factors played a vital role in the war, including technological advances that had never been seen or used before. World War I was a war of great tragedy, in which ordinary men leaped into the great unknown. We, as a generation, need to remember and commemorate World War I, but why? Winter focused on World War I’s transformation of the laws of war. Gas warfare was a key point in his discussion and the weapon paved the way for the use of new technology on the battlefront. Gas warfare began before the invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula, Winter said. Mustard gas was the primary weapon used in World War I, and in 1918,

Save yourself embarrassment by forming conclusions based on facts that youâ€™ve verified yourself. Trust your own judgment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have a great deal of creativity, and you should use it to your advantage. Your insight and intuition could lead to a new moneymaking opportunity.

Get together with some close friends or trusted relatives for some stimulating conversations. You will get moody and restless if you spend too much time alone. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will unintentionally hurt some feelings if you act in haste today. Spend your time studying up on one of your many interests, and stay away from conflicts and arguments. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Shake your lethargic attitude by doing something physical. Walking, swimming, cycling or hiking will not only engage your muscles; they will also help to release your imagination. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You are a dynamic and talented individual.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Sooners excited for KU challenge

‘‘

OU can prove itself by beating topranked Kansas RYAN GERBOSI,

Men’s Basketball Beat Reporter @RyanGerbosi

To be the best, you have to beat the best. With a matchup against the best team in the Big 12, third-place Oklahoma will try to do just that. The Sooners (20-7, 9-5) are on the road against No. 8 Kansas (21-6, 12-2) tonight with a chance to take sole possession of second place in the Big 12. “Every time you line up in the Big 12, you expect to play against a very good team,” OU coach Lon Kruger said. “Kansas is the best team right now. That’s the difference, I guess. They’ve distinguished themselves as the best team in the league.” Oklahoma knows better than any school that winning in Allen Fieldhouse is always a tough task for the visitor; the Sooners haven’t won in Lawrence since 1993. Still, the squad is enthusiastic about the challenge. “Why not?” said sophomore Buddy Hield when asked if he was excited to play at KU. “I think it should be fun up there.” Freshman point guard Jordan Woodard has not

playing in that,” Woodard said. Oklahoma lost the first game against the Jayhawks this season at home 90-83. In that matchup, OU was able to contain freshman star

and Kansas leading scorer Andrew Wiggins. But Kansas found other ways to score, namely fellow freshman Wayne Selden Jr., who finished with a team-high 24 points. The

Jayhawks’ big men pitched in as well with Perry Ellis scoring 22 and adding 11 boards while Joel Embiid had six boards in limited minutes. Woodard said limiting KU’s extra chances will help the Sooners deal with the multitude of Kansas weapons this time around. “Definitely just keeping them off the boards and limiting them to one shot,” Woodard said. “They have such great size down low that if they do get it inside you have to get it out as quickly as possible. If they shoot a jumper, we can’t let them use their size to get the offensive rebound.” With strong play in both the front and back courts for Kansas, Kruger said helping out on the ball and staying focused off it will be key. “You pick your poison a little bit when you play

teams like that,” Kruger said. “Whoever’s got the ball you try to help a little bit, but you can’t help too much because that frees up someone else. Embiid and Ellis are terrific inside, so you’ve got to give them a little extra attention and when you do too much of it, it frees up a perimeter guy.” Kruger said his team will need to be smart with their shots to keep up with the No. 8 team in the country. “I think you just have to be aggressive, yet patient,” Kruger said. “You have to get shots you want; don’t settle for iffy shots. Don’t turn the ball over when they get in transition.” The Sooners take on the Jayhawks at 8 p.m. tonight in Lawrence, Kan.

The students in the School of Art and Art History at OU are featured in a unique showcase that will be on campus until Friday in the Lightwell Gallery. The Phantasma collection is an offering of different styles of art including photography, pen drawings, ceramic sculptures and lithography that depicts concepts of fantasy, science fiction, magic and illusion, said curator Sohail Shehada. “It’s all kind of non-naturalistic,” said sculpture junior Anna Lipscomb who is a featured artist in the show. Pieces displayed in the show range from abstract to satirical to futuristic and even apocalyptic. The art on display is very detailed with texture and mixed media. Studio painting junior Julie Deesomjit was able to use this opportunity to show her neon paintings in a small side room lit with black lights. “This idea that I’ve had, this is the first time I’ve had to actually show it,” Deesomjit said. Both Lipscomb and Deesomjit are debuting art in the Lightwell Gallery, but for another student, this is the first time any of his work has been showcased. Visual communication senior Shane Jensen didn’t know that his own work from Shehada’s beginning

drawing class was being shown at Phantasma. “I was actually pleasantly surprised in a way,” Jensen said. “I’ve never had anything up on an exhibit wall. It’s pretty neat.” Jensen said it was a very basic drawing but felt pretty good about Shehada putting it with all of the other student pieces in the gallery. Phantasma is also an opportunity for prospective students to learn more about the fine arts program at OU. Stephanie Maguire is a junior at Garland High School in Garland, Texas. She was at the opening reception Friday to see the gallery.

In a small but versatile studio tucked away in Gaylord Hall, students work diligently to perfectly arrange three Sony HDR cameras and numerous microphones. A few rooms down, the members of a local comedy troupe, Oak City Comedy, are waiting for their time to perform. The filmmakers and comedians are assembled for a rehearsal of the upcoming sketch comedy series,“Secret Show” which will film in front of a live audience in Gaylord Hall’s Studio D this Thursday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. Even when they’re just hanging out and eating free pizza, the troupe simply cannot stop being hilarious. It’s apparent that all of the talent and resources for a great comedy variety show are in abundance. All OU students are encouraged to go enjoy free pizza and see the show, which will consist of stand-up, improvisational and sketch comedy, Taylor Mullins, executive producer and broadcast and electronic media graduate student said. Mullins said what will make the show great is the cast and crew’s passion for what they’re doing. “It’s going to be a mix of ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’ and ‘Saturday Night Live,’” Mullins said. The live show will have stand-up comedy and improvised scenes based on audience suggestions, Mullins said. He will then edit the taping down to the funniest moments. After that, the Oak City members will write and act in sketches that will be added to the filming from the live show to make a 22-minute TV pilot, Mullins said. Kenny Madison, a founding member of Oak City Comedy, is optimistic about this format. “This way if you come to the live show you’ll get a unique experience and if you watch the taped show you’ll still get a unique experience,” Madison said. From the production stance, Mullins and his crew have to work quickly, quietly and creatively to capture Oak City’s performance. Mullins relies heavily on associate producer, Malik Carter, petroleum-engineering sophomore, to keep things running smoothly. Although Carter’s major is not related to broadcasting, it is what he’s passionate about and what he wants to do as a career. More online at OUDaily.com
