To start off “Banned Books” week, RSC held a panel to discuss the concept of government control over the censorship of books.

KOCO Eyewitness News Anchor Wendell Edwards moderated the panel; which consisted of Rep. Jason Nelson, Former Corporation Commissioner Jim Roth, and Executive Vice President of the Oklahoma Press Association Mark Thomas.

The panel discussed the need for caution in deciding to ban a book and the ways that Oklahoma has dealt with this issue. The central question remains, is it right or wrong for government to decide what is banned or what is not.

One issue discussed was the King and King book by Linda de Haan, which became the focus of removal attempts by politicians to ensure that young children had no access to it. Some community members found the book offensive because it teaches acceptance of people’s choice in life partners which differ from societal norms.

“When deciding what to do about this situation we came to a compromise, with the book and other books of sensitivity being added to a ‘parental’ section,” Roth said. This was done to allow the books to remain accessible to all.

An audience member questioned the policy of selecting and segregating books to the parental section based on their content. “We wanted to allow books to be accessible to everyone, but to appease some there needed to be a compromise,” Roth said.

The panel went on to discuss the difference between censorship and self-censorship. The two are considerably different. Censorship, by law-making entities, reflects the banning or limiting of accessibility of selected books for everyone.

Self-censorship is an individual taking the responsibility to maintain their ethics by limiting access specifically for themselves and their children without compromising the greater accessibility of others.

“’Offense is subjective and becomes the responsibility of those parents who

should be aware of what a child reads,” Roth said. On this issue the panel agreed that forcing others to limit their access to knowledge is wrong and that individuals who take offense to a book should ignore it, so that others don’t lose accessibility.

When Edwards questioned the panel about whether the government had a right to control access of information. The panel agreed that such control would diminish human rights and would create a frightening environment.

Laws to restrict accessibility of books infringe on rights granted in the Bill of Rights. “Government does not represent an individual but the majority and minority equally,” Thomas said. To ensure that the community has input in their library collections, community library boards are formed to determine which books reflect the neighborhood values.

When the panel adjourned, they agreed that banning a book limits the forward progress of a democratic society and hinders intellectual development.

Discussing the concept of banning books

Fashion Week was held recently in Milan, Paris and New York City to showcase the new Fall Fashions. Red was a huge part of the event, in every shade imaginable. Metallic and fur are still going strong, along with bold prints, polka dots, and a comeback from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Finally, the hemline has lengthened, while the maxi dresses and the “midi” skirts are in this fall.

These runway styles seem fun in theory, but are they easy to put into practice? Especially for the perpetually broke college student, who lives on a budget; with the staple of their diet being a trip to Taco Bell and the ridiculously priced Starbucks coffee. Fashion Week represents the standard of style for that quarter of the year, (since Milan Fashion Week is held four times a year). Keeping up with the ever-changing trends can prove to be a hassle, for both the mind and the wallet.

A college student is more likely to buy a simple black pea-coat than a fur lined trench coat for one, and TOMS or tennis shoes are a more sensible

choice than lace-up heels for running around campus between classes and activities. Fall represents a change of pace from the spring and summer styles. The clothes get thicker, more layered, and a little darker in color.

The stylists should change their focal point from the small minority of the population that can afford a $5,000 coat, to the majority of the population that spends, on average, 5.4 percent of their income on apparel. Due to inflation rates and

rising costs, the ability for a student to afford what’s “in” for the season is

practically nonexistent. And besides, who wears a fur lined trench coat to class?

There again, is the impracticality of the trends. A student is more likely to show up to class in sweats or jeans and a hoodie, than a dress and heels. They should have a runway show dedicated to sweat pants.

On the opposite end of the spectrum from clothing is food. The Java Rose Café

has recently reopened and is serving Starbucks coffee, much to the delight of the student body. Yet, the question stands, $4 dollars for coffee? Designer coffee is nothing new, what with the introduction of the Starbucks chain, and the opening of two stores within a five-mile radius of the campus. (For those of you who don’t know; there’s one on 29th in Target and one next to the AT&T store also on 29th)

It’s easier than ever to spend that $4 dollars on a fancy coffee fix; And those who “need” more than one cup may find themselves spending into the $12 dollar range. For the fall season, Starbucks runs a range of Pumpkin flavored items, such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin. From designer foods to designer clothes, the constant emphasis on “designer” is overwhelming and desirable to everyone. The trend may sound appealing, but may not be exactly practical for the college student, or anyone on a budget.

Oct. 1 (all day)The Wellness Center will be hosting

the “Treadmill-athon” in which students attempt to run 26.2 miles. Those who finish the run receive a t-shirt with “I survived” on it. The first 25 students and community members along with the first 25 faculty and staff will be put into drawings for prizes. Sign up today at the Wellness Center lobby front desk.

This September The Oklahoma City Museum of Art celebrated college month. Admission was free for college students who presented a college ID. wrapping up the month long event was College Night, held on Sept. 22.

The event included a rooftop concert with music from Born in November featuring C-Plus, an Oklahoma City soul band. The big draw was for the latter-half of the evening, when the Museum screened award-winning college-made films submitted to the deadCENTER Film Festival, which included a range of documentaries, narratives and animation films.

Coffee and free stuff was offered throughout the evening to attendees, as well as a photo-booth to help document their evening at the museum.

For attendees who enjoy participation, there was an interactive trivia contest that took part through social media outlets, as well as salsa lessons and the ability to speak with

museum curators about the special exhibitions currently available.

To view the museum at a discounted

rate, a student level membership is offered throughout the year. The cost is $20 per year, and essentially pays

for itself within two visits, with college student admission normally costing $10 with an ID.

RSC celebrated Hipanic Heritage Month Sept.27, with music, free food, and a Hispanic themed Family Feud game. (For those without the Game Show Network, Family Feud is a game where two teams compete in a battle to provide the most given responses to various survey questions. One hundred students and faculty were surveyed for each of the questions, and some of the answers shocked not only the contestants but also Rubin Murcia, emcee for the event. Hispanic Family Feud was an entertaining way to get students and staff involved in the festivities, since they made up the teams.

While everyone did a great job and gave it their best, ultimately the “Leadership Team” won the game and proved to have the most Hispanic knowledge. The game was amusing and friendly, and there were no sore losers. In addition to Family Feud, there was a small display of Bolivia and Puerto Rico, and a $30 gas card was awarded to one of the survey participants. Dr. Joanne Stafford helped put the event together.

The Student Senate and leaders from various campus clubs met in the Student Center Friday, Sept. 23 to discuss how best to meet the needs of students. Kirby Harzman and Emily Fisher organized the event, which included opening remarks from Dr. Jeanie Webb, vice president for Student Affairs.

“You’re the ones that can make changes for the good of the students.” Webb said.

Webb spoke on the various styles of leadership, and why some are more successful than others. “Leadership doesn’t mean being a bossy bully.” Webb said, “Being a leader means people want to follow you.”

After Dr. Webb’s remarks, Harzman and Fisher discussed with the students their roles as leaders and the ways to ensure their clubs or organizations receive everything they need to function.

After the meeting adjourned, the Student Activities Retreat began with a bus trip to Bricktown. Once there, everyone ate lunch at Chelino’s.

Following lunch, the group convened at Oklahoma City’s

Laser Quest, where they played several games. The event served as a metaphor for leadership. When you enter the laser tag room alone, no one watches your back. Those who formed teams and worked together saw the most success.

Many of you may have noticed that the current Java Rose is distinctly different from the former Rose Café. The transformation happened over the summer break as Carson’s Catering Services took over the management of the cafeteria and Rose Café.

The newly dubbed Java Rose serves Starbucks coffee and associated items such as muffins, salads, and pastries. “We took what worked for OCCC and brought it to the Java Rose,” Kristen Starkz, manager of Java Rose, said.

The convenience of being able to get coffee and food seems to be a positive selling point for the night class students on campus. “I’ve had a lot of customers over the last couple of weeks and got a lot of positive feedback,” Starkz said.

Students, faculty, and staff may have noticed the high prices in Java Rose. “The pricing of the Java Rose are the same as those on the OCCC campus which has been popular among students there,” Starkz said.

The difference in pricing is in the packaging of the food. Before the transition, a customer would be able to get a basket deal where a hamburger and order of fries was offered together instead of separately. Now there are

no combined prices for the food. The drawbacks for some students

who visit Java Rose may be the price of the gourmet coffee. “Why would I buy a $5 dollar coffee from Starbucks when I can get a $10 dollar bag of Millstone and it tastes just as good,” Melissa Buchanan, Pre-education major said. The distinction in coffee comes from the type of coffee bean and its differing effects.

Espresso, which is used in much of the Starbucks and Java Rose coffees, is more stimulating than that of regular coffee. The amount of espresso used in a cappuccino is less than the amount of milk used because of its potency. Many cultures have differing versions of espresso, for instance Arabic coffee has ten times the jolt that espresso does and consequently is served in smaller portions.

Other negative responses to Java Rose have been attributed to the portions, or serving sizes, of its food. An increase in cost of groceries is apparent throughout the state and the nation; and reflects Java Rose’s needed price increase.

While the trend of gourmet coffee may not suit some, avid coffee enthusiasts will help keep Java Rose profitable.

“Leadership doesn’t

mean being a bossy bully.

Being a leader means

people want to follow you.”

–Dr. Webb

It might sound insane, but the Aliens are coming. In the ‘80s, aliens and UFO’s were a huge trend.

There are many popular alien films such as “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Alien Nation.” In the late ‘90s before The WB became The CW, they

aired the popular alien based show “Roswell.” Yet, in the past few years, aliens have been pushed aside for vampires and werewolves, however it seems that these foreigners are once again becoming common in today’s pop culture.

In 2011 there have been numerous amounts of alien pictures released

from the animated movie “Mars Needs Moms” to the live action flick “Cowboys & Aliens,” and even “E.T.” Director Steven Spielberg jumped back into the Alien game by producing the summer 2011 film “Super 8.”

Cartoon Network has two animated shows that contain these green creatures; their hit animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Young Justice” a cartoon that follows a team of superhero side kicks, including Miss Martian, the younger female version of the DC comic book character The Martian Manhunter.

The History Channel has even jumped on the alien bandwagon with the series “Ancient Aliens.” According to a synopsis of the show provided by TV.com, “The documentary style program presents theories of ancient astronauts and proposes that historical texts, archaeology and legends contain evidence of past… human-extraterrestrial contact.”

The question is, with the alien

phenomena on the rise, has the skeptical belief that we are not alone in the world changed? There have been many supposed sightings of UFOs and now scientists are claiming that extraterrestrials might just be the planet’s downfall.

“The extraterrestrials might proceed to kill, infect, dissect, conquer, displace or enslave us, stuff us as specimens for their museums or pickle our skulls and use us for medical research,” Scientists stated in the Acta Astronautica Journal.

This research is an interesting look into aliens; however, there is no conclusive evidence that aliens are coming to destroy us. Like Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” broadcast, today’s alien fervor may be evidence of the media’s influence; yet it must be said that some UFO sightings caught on video do look pretty convincing. Who knows; there might just be other life forms beyond the stars.

In movies, the lone protagonist rising to the occasion often resolves the conflict. Audiences like to root for the underdog. Contagion differs from traditional Hollywood storytelling in its attempt to portray a more realistic depiction of crisis management.

If this were “I am Legend,” the film would focus on one heroic scientist working in isolation, against all odds, to find the cure.

In contrast, Contagion presents an accurate depiction of how the world would deal with a virus that has killed hundreds of thousands of people. It involves several organizations working together and pooling their resources.

The star-studded cast includes Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Elliott Gould, and Jude Law. It takes a certain kind of director to juggle the stories of so many characters and keep the audience’s attention.

Steven Soderbergh is well placed as the director of Contagion; having gained experience directing the character-driven “Ocean’s Eleven” a decade ago. The on-screen chemistry

between actors of the “Ocean” films was palpable; while in Contagion, its effect is lessened by the fact that many of the stars never interact with each other. They may talk over the phone, but the actors usually share only a few scenes together. This isolation of the characters does help amplify the creepy atmosphere of the film.

Gwyneth Paltrow plays Beth Emhoff while Matt Damon plays her husband, Mitch; who struggles to keep his humanity while the spread of the virus causes societal breakdowns around him. This is not a strong film for Damon; whose portrayal of numb shock makes him look bored.

The most relatable characters in the film are the doctors; Erin Mears, played by Winslet, and Ellis Cheever, played by Fishburne. (Insert your own clever ‘red pill blue pill’ Matrix joke here.) You can feel the empathy they have for their patients, and each other.

Jude Law plays Alan Krumwiede, a blogger who fancies himself a “freelance journalist.” Who tries to uncover the reality of the disease. When he ambushes Dr. Ian Sussman, played by Gould, Krumwiede tries to get an interview. Sussman brushes

him off, saying, “You’re not a reporter. You’re a blogger. You’re a graffitist with punctuation.”

There’s no typical villain in Contagion. The virus came, not from the hubris of a mad scientist or the machinations of a terrorist cell, but

from nature. An entity that can’t be reasoned with, whose only motive is to spread. This gives Contagion a commonality with natural disaster movies. In spite of some flaws, Contagion is a disease worth catching…in theatres.
