No new thefts have been reported since Sooners were notified Friday morning about an outbreak of stolen catalytic converters from campus parking lots.
These types of thefts have happened on campus before, but have been spread out and random, said OU Police Major Bruce Chan.
Chan said he doesn’t know why so many car parts were stolen last week, but students should be aware of their sur-roundings and report any
suspicious behavior they see to avoid more thefts in the future.
Chan said the emergency notifications many students are receiving via text mes-sage is a very useful tool to in-form the student body, and is just one of the many tools OU provides to ensure the safety of their students.
From Oct. 21 to Friday, five catalytic converters were reportedly stolen from cars parked in parking lots on and near the OU campus, accord-ing to a text alert from OUPD.
A mass text from OU’s Emergency Communication System was sent Friday morning around 11 a.m. to notify students about the
outbreak of catalytic convert-er thefts.
Catalytic converters con-tain precious metals that can be re-sold to scrap yards, said Ashley Spores, an employee at Performance Muffler.
Spores said their employ-ees have repaired two cars involved in last week’s thefts, belonging to an OU staff member and student.
Both of these vehicles were Toyota 4Runners, a popu-lar target for this kind of part theft because of how elevated they are, Spores said.
“These cars have been tar-gets of this kind of theft for years,” Spores said. “They’re

Be it a hectic school and work schedule or a dead phone, nothing can slow down entrepreneurship and supply chain management junior Brent Bowles.
That’s why Bowles started working on a new device to keep phones charged and people connected even without an outlet.
Bowles Ventures, his limited liability company, is putting the finishing touches on Mobile Oasis, a project involving phone chargers. Bowles hesitated to reveal all the details but said he is testing products currently and hopes to have a product on the market before the semester is over.
“When you go to a football game, concert or anything like that, and your phone dies, what do you do?” he said. “Whether you’re working or connecting socially and you want to make plans after, you have no way to do that.”
He’s currently working on a solution to that problem and trying to bring a product to market that’s going to be a little different.
For the first month of this semester, Bowles began run-ning surveys to get an idea of how Mobile Oasis might be received by students.
“I wanted to find out if I’m the only one with [phone bat-tery life] problems to make sure I’m not crazy,” he said.
Some of his survey data showed that 86 percent of re-spondents wished they had a way to charge their phone away from home or the car and 90 percent wanted their phone charged more quickly, he said.
Bowles credits his momentum with the time manage-ment skills he developed from his studies, recognizing how limited his time is with so much to do.
“You think you realize what’s important,” he said. “Where you invest your time, that’s what classes provide. In the real world, it’s about getting things done. When you look at the greats, they were always about getting things done, even if it flopped.”
Despite a lack of time, Bowles cannot slow down even with an array of odd jobs and an internship taking three days of his week, he said. And his projects are entirely self-funded, he said.
Shaun McMahan, an engineering junior, lives with Bowles and sees firsthand how busy he is.
“It seems like every day he gets home and either studies or sleeps,” McMahan said. “He is not home very often. He leaves at 7:30 a.m. and usually doesn’t get back till 7 p.m.”
Bowles said he relies heavily on energy supplements to

OU’s College of Engineering has received a $70 million gift from an Oklahoma City company to support retention scholarships and other methods of increasing the engi-neering workforce.
The Oklahoma City-based Dolese Bros. Co. donated more than $200 million of its stock to OU, Oklahoma State
University and Kansas State University to benefit their engineering programs, according to a press release pub-lished on OU’s website on Oct. 22. Each school received around $70 from the gift.
This year, the funds permitted the doubling of the number of incoming students at OU’s College of Engineering in a summer camp to boost retention through math readiness, team projects and orientation to college life, according to the release.

Students will showcase their nation-alities with apparel, jewelry, handmade items and native foods representing their cultures at an annual event 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday on the South Oval.
The International Bazaar, held by the International Advisory Committee each fall, showcases the many nationalities on campus through culturally adorned booths and musical performances, said Hillary Medina, IAC president and inter-national security studies senior.
Items representing various cultures will be for sale, and there will also be a scav-enger hunt, musical and cultural perfor-mances and kids’ activities, Medina said.
T w e n t y - t h r e e i n t e r n a t i o n a l
organizations participate in the bazaar, mak-ing it the largest multicultural event of the fall semester, Medina said.
“I would say hundreds of students come and go during the event over the course of the day,” Medina said.
Mariam Ghassan Edwar, architectural en-gineering senior, participated in the Bazaar last year as the president of the Arab Student Association.
Edwar, who is from Baghdad, Iraq, along with fellow association members, displayed traditional hats and scarves from their native countries in the Middle East, he said. The members sold about 20 items and provided free snacks to attract passing students.
Eunji Lee, accounting junior, participated in the bazaar last year as the president of The United World Student Association.
”It was a great idea to integrate with the local community and the general body of the university,” Lee said.

keep himself awake because he won’t even let fatigue stop him.
“It’s a lot of long days and nights. I don’t usually go to bed until after midnight,” Bowles said. “Since I’m in school, I don’t have as much technical know-how, so sometimes it is slow-going.”
Initially interested in polit-ical science, Bowles had not really considered entrepre-neurship, he said. During his senior year of high school, Bowles attended E-Week, a program hosted by the Price College of Business’s Center for Entrepreneurship.
The program focuses on introducing Oklahoma high school students to the world
of entrepreneurship and teach them business leader-ships skills, according to the program’s website.
For Bowles, it was a turn-ing point.
“[Entrepreneurship] was something I was interested in, I just didn’t totally realize it until that camp,” he said.
N o w i n t o h i s j u n i o r year, Bowles feels he can make a di f ference w ith entrepreneurship.
“I come from a family of teachers and educators, so the whole 9 to 5 job is some-thing that’s expected, and that’s fine,” he said. “But I feel you can work for 40 years, get a watch, a ring and a plaque on the wall. But I don’t care if it has my name on it. I want something to change the status quo.”

Our View: The truth should never be censored.
It’s Oct. 16, 4:36 p.m. Grambling State University journalism se-nior David Lankster, Sr., sends out the first of a series of tweets that would spark the Gramblinite controversy, a situation lined with suspicion, censorship and moral injustice.
You may have heard of Gramblinite’s football team, but that isn’t the only thing from the university stealing headlines across the U.S. these last couple of weeks. Like OU has The Oklahoma Daily, Grambling State has a school newspaper called The Gramblinite.
The Gramblinite’s online editor was originally fired, and the voices opinion, also known as the opinion editor, was temporarily suspended. What did they do to deserve these actions, you might ask? It wasn’t for inappropriate articles filled with libel. It wasn’t for making up false identities to incorporate in their articles and columns. No. It was a form of intimidation and punishment for doing what journalists do, what these two students did — report the truth.
This public university is located in Grambling, La. These stu-dents’ story caught our attention when we heard they were fired and suspended for working in the best interest of their fellow stu-dents. Because their motives were to clear the confusion on cam-pus regarding what was going on with the school’s football pro-gram and athletic department’s poor facility conditions, they got
in trouble by their adviser.The newspaper’s adviser, Wanda Peters,
is in charge of the student publica-tion. While students work hard to put together a finished product each week, no page makes it to the
printer without going through her first. She has the ultimate power to approve or not approve the content that fills each page, and if she doesn’t like something,
she’ll advise the edi-tors to take it
out.We don’t believe any adviser should have the authority to so
much control over a publication that is written and put together by students for students — it’s called a student newspaper for a reason.
Let’s recap the puzzle pieces we have so far: online editor Lankster tweets certain pictures and ends up getting fired, voices editor Kimberly Monroe gets involved in a school rally organized by the school’s Student Government Association president and
gets suspended for participation, and Peters is entitled to do what she wants with the paper.
On Oct. 16, Lankster started chronologically tweeting pictures he and the sports editor were able to get of the athletic facilities’ physical conditions, including tiles that were missing, mold on the walls and the beat-up workout equipment.
The issue was one that few, if anyone outside of the football team, knew about. The pictures triggered the stampede, but it wasn’t the only thing stirring up a storm between the stu-dents and the administration. A rally was organized in an effort to call on the administration to come forward with a clear story of what was going on, because students knew something wasn’t right.
“People across campus were trying to get an idea of what was going on with the football team when there was no practice on Wednesday and commotion on Thursday,” Lankster Sr. said.
The first article published about the school issue was published by the Shreveport Times. According to Lankster, the article published inaccurately quoted the school’s SGA president on the matter, and the SGA president was furious.
“The SGA president came to the newsroom late Wednesday while we were trying to get the paper out, and he said, ‘this is not what I said,’” Lankster said.
He claimed the administration was putting out a differ-ent story, one that didn’t reflect the truth, but, rather, one that sugar-coated the football team’s circumstances and reasonings for not attending practices or games.
This is where Monroe approached muddy waters. Her involve-ment with the rally landed her in Peter’s office shortly after, where she was told she would be temporarily suspended.
But Monroe wasn’t just temporarily suspended for participating in the rally, she also had caused tension between her and Peters when she decided to run an article written by the SGA president himself.
“The SGA president came in (the newsroom) upset and had his USB, saying, ‘this needs to be printed,’” Monroe said.
She said the SGA president wrote a letter correcting the mistakes the media had made, and since she had room to publish it on her page, she was more than happy to run it.
The weekly newspaper’s print editions are printed every Thursday. That Thursday, however, no one was reading the SGA president’s note — it never made it to print.
“Thursday evening, he called and was like, ‘Kim, did you see the paper?’” Monroe said. “So I picked up a paper, and I saw that (Peters) had replaced his portion with an AP story, an editorial roundup.”
While something like this should’ve been expected, it is ridicu-lous that this is a common occurrence at this school newspaper in the first place. The adviser, who also is a professor, has clearly never taken an ethics class before — she deliberately swapped the stories because of her disapproval of it running and a hidden agenda. Not only is that poor journalism, that is pure censorship, violating the students’ First Amendment rights and hindering the truth from being exposed.
A student-run newspaper needs to be controlled by students, not a biased adviser. Advisers should be there to offer advice and support the nature of the news organization, not censor content. Here at The Daily, our adviser sits in our editorial meetings and of-fers suggestions, brainstorming to help us to create the best prod-uct each day. These students haven’t worked with another adviser, so until this issue gained national coverage, they hadn’t realized it wasn’t the most functional way of running a newspaper.
“We’ve grown under this woman, we’ve never worked for
another publication,” Lankster said. “So we’re thinking this is the way to go. After you do your personal round of edits, put it on the page and after the copy editors, then it’s Ms. Peter’s turn.”
Monroe and Lankster spoke in a session at this fall’s College Media Association conference held in New Orleans that sev-eral members of The Daily’s editorial board attended over the weekend.
In order to be fair, we attempted to get in touch with Peters sev-eral times, leaving messages and calling during the last week. She has yet to reply.
Lankster and Monroe found the conference to be eye-opening after seeing and hearing other student editors’ responses during the session. Student editors from college papers across the coun-try attended the conference. Now that the two have been exposed to the procedures other newspapers work with, they’re consider making some changes to how their own school newspapers run.
As of Tuesday, Monroe decided that, regardless of the recent is-sues at the paper, she is going back to work there and will continue to do her job. Lankster said he most likely will continue to work at the paper as well.
Both students said even if they knew they would have to go through these rings of fire, they would do it all over again. The pic-tures made the administration upset, but the conditions needed to be known about. The SGA president’s words needed to be accu-rately portrayed, and people deserve to know the truth.
“There’s no censoring the truth, and I think Ms. Peters over-stepped her boundaries,” Lankster said.
We applaud Monroe and Lankster for their desire to expose the truth, regardless of the consequences. No one should ever be afraid to speak up, whether you are a student or out in the real world. It is pathetic that censorship is taking place in college news-papers, but this story encourages us to prevent that here at The Daily and encourage other college newspapers to continue in-forming the public with the truth.

• Wanda Peters is still the newspaper’s adviser for the time being and Lankster said that probably won’t change. At the CMA Conference, however, it was suggested the students at The Gramblinite take more control of their product and
deliberate on the possibilty of creating an Editor-in-chief position. Both editors will continue to work there and they claim this experience doesn’t intimidate them from sharing the truth in the future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should take a challenge or unusual situation in stride. Don’t make a big deal or draw attention to what you are doing. If you make a sudden or unexpected change, you’ll catch others off-guard and gain the advantage.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you share with others will lead to exciting activities, projects and proposals. Pay close attention to what’s going on at home. An emotional situation must be handled carefully.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Refuse to let anyone railroad you into something that you don’t want to pursue. Ask questions, but avoid arguments. Look and listen carefully before making a major decision.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Talk is cheap, but sometimes frugality is what’s called for. Stay within your budget, but offer something new and exciting, and you will have everyone entranced.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your past professional performance and jobs that brought you the most joy will help you decide what direction to take now. Contact former co-workers and make a proposal.

Even if you do not know what “steampunk” exactly is, chances are you have probably indulged in a work relat-ed to it. “Steampunk” is defined as a sub-genre where steam power is still widely used, but with elements of either science fiction, fantasy or technological develop-ments included.
N o w , s t u d e n t s c a n t a k e p a r t i n v a r i o u s events celebrating every-thing steampunk. This Friday through Sunday, OctopodiCon 2013 will take place at the Embassy Suites right here at 2501 Conference Dr.
O U ’s o w n A i r s h i p C r i m s o n St e a m e r s, a group that seeks to “unite and support Steampunk enthusiasts,” is taking an incredible interest in the event.
“A few students were really into Victorian sci-fi and steampunk, so they started an ‘airship,’” Dalynda Evans, president of the Steamers, said. “They would get togeth-er to have tea, go to thrift stores, and other DIY crafts on costumes. Just last week, we had a crafting project where we made ‘steampunk pumpkins’ for Halloween.”
OctopodiCon was created by Noddy Brothers of the Metropolitan Library System and OU English professor Bev Hale.

“ S p e c t r u m : T h e A r t of Culture, Fashion and Dance” isn’t going to be an average fashion show. Matthew Griffin, event coor-dinator and senior advertis-ing major, described it as an intertwinement of varying entertainment.
The event is in conjunc-tion with the “Libertad de Expresión” exhibit at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.
“You’re going to see the best of the best of a lot of people there,” Griffin said.
“Spectrum,” which will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, is the second annual fashion show on campus. The event serves as a fund-raiser for the OU School of Dance.
Stephanie Shelton, mar-keting coordinator and ju-nior dance major, said the dance department doesn’t receive as much aid as most programs, and so this fash-ion show is a way for the stu-dents to earn for themselves. It’s also meant to create awareness of how intense the dance program is and what it’s capable of, she said.
The event is run by the students for the students. Shelton said most of the people involved are OU stu-dents, including the mod-els, and perhaps the only teachers involved are Mary Margaret Holt, Director of the School of Dance, and
Derrick Minter, Assistant Director and liaison sponsor for the event.
The majority of the out-fits on display will be from local stores on Campus Corner such as Shoetopia, Threads, Blush and Queen
of Harts Kilmyn Graf, model coordinator and M.F.A. 3rd year graduate at the OU School of Dance, said. They even managed to get a con-tract with Dillard’s from the Sooner Mall.
Perhaps what will set this show apart from the previ-ous one is how it is being ap-proached. Shelton said they are now more aware of how to promote the event. Being a marketing coordinator, she has to constantly mon-itor social media platforms, ticket sales and other event details.
Griffin said even though the first fashion show was successful, this show is doing a better job bringing
in different merchandise across Norman. The word “Spectrum” means an array of color, so the point of the show is to bring in diversity and add a sense of richness to the event, he said.
This is clearly visible in the variety of entertainment lined up for the night rang-ing from a performance by a sorority/fraternity step team to a choreographed dance routine to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” that acts as a smooth transition to the Halloween party at the mu-seum as well.

Seven conference games left on OU schedule
DEMETRIUS KEARNEYVolleyball Beat Reporter
T h e v o l l e y b a l l t e a m is gearing up to face the Kansas State Wildcats after an impressive performance against the West Virginia Mountaineers. It ended in a three set sweep, extending the Sooners current win-ning streak to four.
The Sooners’ dominant performance against the Mountaineers extended their winning streak and boosted them into a three-way tie for second in the Big 12 with a conference record of 6-2.
The Sooners have been playing excellent volleyball lately, and as a result, they have an opportunity to de-throne the defending con-ference and national cham-p i o n Te x a s L o ng h o r n s. However, they must trav-el to Manhattan, Kan., for their second meeting with Wildcats.
Their first match was at home in Norman on Oct. 12, and the Sooners won a tough four-set match. The win over Kansas State also would be the start of their four-game winning streak.
The Sooners played great team volleyball in the first match, recording a team hitting percentage of .237 compared to the Wildcats .135. The Sooners also had three players tallying dou-ble digits in kills.
Head Coach Santiago Restrepo has been ver y pleased with his team’s performance, especially
following the dominating win over the Mountaineers. However, he feels that they still have work to do if they want accomplish their ul-timate goals of winning a conference title and mak-i n g a r u n i n t h e N C A A tournament.
“With the second half of conference coming up, we are hoping to do better than a 6-2 record,” Restrepo said. “We have to main-tain the energy and contin-ue to keep building, and it starts with Kansas State on Wednesday. They are a very
tough and talented team. We have been playing very well, but every match is dif-ferent. We are going to take it one match at a time and hope to continue winning.”
S enior middle blo ck-er Sallie McLaurin had a
dominant per for mance against Kansas State in their first meeting. The All-American had 15 kills and six blocks in the win, while recording a hitting percent-age of .414 — a match high.
McLaurin also received
help from her teammates, most notably senior outside hitter Keila Rodriguez and freshman middle block-er Madison Ward. The in-crease in overall team pro-duction has been one of the biggest factors in the Sooners success.
“Everyone has been get-ting involved, and I think that’s the biggest differ-ence from preseason to now,” McLaurin said. “Julia (Doyle) has been doing an excellent job of setting us up to make plays and some of our younger play-ers like Madison have really stepped up and made plays, which has been great.”
S o p h o m o r e m i d d l e blocker Kierra Holst also has elevated her game as the season has progressed and has become a compliment to McLaurin in the front court. The Sooners will be depending on her to remain consistent as they make a run as the season winds d o w n . H o w e v e r, H o l s t knows that the team can’t get comfortable because of their recent success.
“Ending the first half of conference with a win is great, but we can’t get com-fortable,” Holst said. “We all have to concentrate and fight harder to finish strong and that starts with getting a win against Kansas State.”
