PRICE COLLEGE

Entrepreneurship escalates to No. 10

The OU Price College of Business now has the 10th-best entrepreneurship pro-gram in the country, ac-cording to a recent report by Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review.

To evaluate schools, the magazine looked at course requirements, faculty and student ratios, accomplish-ments of graduates and ex-tracurricular business activ-ities, according to the maga-zine’s website.

In 2010, OU ranked No. 15 in the country, according to the magazine. The University

of Houston ranked first in 2010 and 2011.

“What has happened ... in the past decade is that what happens in the classroom is no longer enough,” said Jim Wheeler, director and co-founder of OU’s entrepre-neurship program, in a press release.

Wheeler said OU’s en-trepreneurship program supplements classroom les-sons with real-world experi-ences, such as trips to Austin and San Francisco to meet actual professionals, as well as study abroad tours in Italy and China. The college also offers pitch competitions to students.

Transfer students flocking to OUCredit equivalency can be a headache for newer Sooners ANGELA TOCampus Reporter

Since 2000, the number of fall and summer trans-fer students had been de-clining slowly.

But that was before 2011.

More than 1,600 trans-fer students enrolled for fall and summer 2011, said Michael Hoggatt, as-sociate director of pro-spective student services of transfer students, in an email.

Fall 2010’s new trans-fer enrollment for fall was 1,126 and 118 for the sum-mer — a 1,244 total and 356-student difference from this year ’s num-bers, according to OU’s Institutional Research and Reporting statistics.

In fall 2000, the number of new transfer students for fall and summer com-bined was 1,829 students.

The majority of these new students come to OU from community colleges, Hoggatt said. Many factors determine students’ deci-sion to transfer.

“Some transfer because the major they would like to pursue is not offered at their current institution. Others transfer simply because they would like to earn a degree from the University of Oklahoma,” Hoggatt said in an email. “I believe most students transfer to OU because of the quality of the degrees offered and the support they receive from faculty and staff.”

Transfer student Dallas Franklin, advertising ju-nior, decided a new major meant she needed a new institution.

F r a n k l i n m a -j o r e d i n j o u r n a l i s m at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah before she decided to transfer to OU.

Franklin said she trans-ferred because she wanted to switch to advertising; Franklin said she believed OU had a better advertis-ing program than her for-mer university.

Most of Franklin’s cred-its transferred except for one. Because the credits for that particular class did not transfer, Franklin had to repeat the class.

Sooners learn new approaches to studying

JaLisa Green/tHe daiLy

Student Learning Center director Mark Walvoord writes key points of effective studying during Monday’s Student Success Series seminar.

JALISA GREENStaff Reporter

Student Learning Center director Mark Walvoord guided a Student Success Series seminar on appropri-ate study styles Monday in Adams Center.

Walvoord recommended making connections with lectures, forming concept maps and comparing notes.

“Being able to visually put together the components in lecture with your own notes, helps with the long-term memory of the information you need for an exam or writing an essay,” Walvoord said.

Participants were asked to put together categories of subjects and discuss study strategies. For instance, a

student in science or math classes wouldn’t make flash-cards but would work alone, see tutors or make personal visual diagrams to under-stand the material.

This differs from art class-es, where simply going to Google or discussion groups may be the best way to un-derstand the material.

Walvoord said studying or learning is an experiment to find what works best for each

student. Some find it easy to study with background noise, time their study ses-sions or avoid distractions.

Walvoord said taking the material and making it rele-vant to daily life is a concept students can use.

“The things I will take from this as an instructor in talking to freshmen are the different strategies that really help relate the mate-rial to you. You are your best teacher,” Walvoord said.

T h e S t u d e n t S u c c e s s Series is mainly aimed at freshmen, but multidisci-plinary studies senior Kelsi Miller found herself con-firming the styles she al-ready uses.

“Definitely go to the semi-nar,” Miller said. “Even if you think you are studying the right way, you find some-thing new or confirm what you already do.”

CAMPUS REPORTER

Licensing, the process regulating the use of OU trade-marked material on merchandise, contributes to OU’s self-sustaining athletic department by contributing part of the $7 million athletics gives back to the university.

Licensing director Renata Hayes said licensing is important to monitor how OU’s trademarks are being used. The purpose of licensing is to make sure items produced are consistent and in line with the university’s style guide.

Another reason to license is to make money because producers are willing to pay to use OU logos.

The Oklahoma Department of Intercollegiate Athletics’ annual re-port showed athletics generated a gross revenue of about $93.7 million, of which $3.7 million was from licensing. The revenue is then pooled and dis-tributed, Hayes said. Last year, about $7 million of the total athletic revenue was given back to the university.

The licensing process requires any person or organization printing merchandise

retook the course, Franklin found out that, in fact, the credit would transfer — an error she credits to unclear advising.

“The adviser that I had at first told me that it didn’t count, and then when I went to go get advised for the sec-ond semester, they said that it should have counted,” Franklin said. “It was just a big mess that I think they

weren’t clear on why it didn’t c ou nt. S o s o m e p e o p l e thought it wouldn’t count, some thought it would. It was just confusing.”

Figuring out transfer cred-its can often be a headache for most transfer students, said Matt Hamilton, OU vice president for Enrollment and Student Financial Services, in an email.

OU accepts all for-credit transfer GPAs and hours, but not all transfer work will always apply to a student’s

degree, Hamilton said, just as not all credit hours at OU will apply to a degree.

All transfer students must meet certain requirements, but required GPAs and hours differ among OU’s various colleges.

For example, the College of Liberal Studies requires students to have a transfer GPA of 2.00 after more than 60 hours have been attempt-ed but also requires a 2.50 if fewer than 60 have been attempted.

OU’s Office of Admissions has an equivalency table on its website that shows which courses will transfer from in-state colleges and universi-ties, as well as several out-of-state colleges, Hoggatt said.

If a course equivalency table does not exist for stu-dents’ previous institutions, they may seek assistance es-tablishing course equivalen-cies by contacting the Office of Admissions’ Transcript Evaluation Section or the OU Transfer Liaison.

w ith var ious OU trade -marks to request permis-sion through the marketing department.

These trademarks include the interlocking OU, the word “Sooners” and other images and words listed on SoonerSports.com.

To be licensed, student or-ganizations first must fill out a form about the club and the vendor they are using for printing a product.

After the form is submit-ted, marketing may approve, change or reject the design.

Hayes said marketing ap-proves four types of licenses:

• The largest category is the standard license agree-ment, including 325 to 330 larger, out-of-state compa-nies that produce OU mate-rial such as Nike Inc.

• More than 100 licensees not interested in mass pro-duction participate in OU’s in-house crafter’s program.

• Between 25 to 30 local companies also receive li-censes to distribute mer-chandise in Oklahoma.

• The internal campus supplier license is more commonly seen on cam-pus, Hayes said, because it includes about 25 organiza-tions such as clubs, fraterni-ties and sororities.

M e n ’ s s o c c e r c l u b

president Chris Jones, sci-ence e ducat ion s enior, said the process wasn’t complicated.

However, the club found hurdles when it ordered gear from a company in Texas, which caused logo approval from OU’s marketing officials

to stall, Jones said.Embroidery paperwork

then took OU more time to process, he said, because the gear had to be sent to an ap-proved company.

“It took a while to get all the paperwork done and start the process,” Jones said.

Our View: Sen. Tom Coburn’s plan to cut billions from Medicare targets the elderly while ignoring the root causes of inflated spending.

Oklahoma’s own Sen. Tom Coburn, a Republican, and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., re-quested a chance Wednesday to present their plan for $500 billion worth of cuts to Medicare before the “super committee” in charge of developing a deficit-reduction plan. Their plan would raise the eligibility age to 67 over time, raise the price of seniors’ govern-ment medical insurance — as well as their out-of-pocket expenses — and cap how much of their health care can be paid for by supplemental policies.

We understand the urge to target Medicare, a program that has swollen from 16 percent of federal spending in 2007 to 20 percent in 2008, and is only continuing to grow, according to the Congressional Budget Office. In difficult economic times like these, we have to be willing to make difficult deci-sions about what to cut. In this spirit, we support raising the eligibility age. But cutting funding not only to as essential an area as health care, but to the health care of seniors who are often on a fixed income and yet need medical care the most, is unacceptable.

The best way to save the Medicare program and reduce its swelling budget is to fight the rampant waste, fraud and abuse of the system. Medicare made $47.9 billion in improper payments in 2010 alone, according to the Office of Management

and Budget, a little more than 9 percent of total Medicare spending. And from 2000 to 2007, Medicare paid dead physicians 478,500 claims to-taling $92 million, according to a congressional in-vestigative committee. These infractions should be punished with jail time, not just fines, to underline the seriousness of this abuse.

But these reforms still would not cut enough from the inflated budget. If Coburn and Lieberman really want to reform the Medicare program, they should be look-ing to the root cause of runaway spend-ing: the high cost of health care. Medicare continues to pay drug companies more and doctors less, while the government turns a blind eye to pharmaceutical indus-

try practices that artificially raise costs. The sena-tors’ plan treats the symptoms, not the disease. We don’t know exactly what can be done to fight this problem, but we do know that the senators’ plan is too simplistic to effectively combat this complex problem.

We applaud their efforts to reduce the crippling federal deficit, but the senators should make sure they’re looking in the right places for a solution, and exploring all of the complex and varied op-tions to find the right course of action. We should exhaust every option before we penalize the strug-gling elderly. Contact Coburn and tell him that Oklahomans are not willing to sell out the elderly while lawmakers fail to fight fraud and abuse.

Private issues tarnish electionsIf you asked me

what I remember about President Bill

Clinton’s administration, the only thing I could tell you was he had an affair with a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky.

Clinton was in office from the time I was born until I was 8 years old, and I know nothing about what he did with those years. But thanks to Google searches, I will always be able to learn about his relationship with Lewinsky.

Scandals, controversies and questionable actions seem to be what fuel the media. Society cares more about what public figures are doing behind the scenes than what they do in office. It’s almost as if we would rather read articles with a slight entertainment value than articles about poli-cies and what people stand for.

In every presidential election, people dig to find infor-mation that could tarnish the reputation of a candidate. People wondered if Barack Obama was actually a U.S. citizen. Others wondered what kind of mother Sarah Palin was after her teenage daughter got pregnant out of wedlock. With the upcoming 2012 election, Rick Perry’s transcript from Texas A&M has been released, showing he wasn’t exactly the best student.

Even smaller-scale elections have their own

controversies; in previous years, UOSA has dealt with is-sues of campaign violations that seem to overshadow the point of the elections. Ask anyone what they remember about last year’s Campus Activities Council election, and they’ll probably say something about illegal emails sent in support of now-chairwoman Melissa Mock’s campaign.

But should all of these issues be aired to the public? If an average American has an affair, no one but the parties involved will care. If someone with no intention of run-ning for office has a bad transcript, oh well. But replace the average American with a public figure and it will be splashed across newspapers, magazines and websites in a matter of hours. So the question arises: Do we as a society have a right to know the personal issues of public figures simply because of who they are?

The answer can never be simply yes or no. It could be argued that we deserve to know because it could affect their credibility. If Clinton was willing to lie to us about an affair, what else is he willing to lie about? This also is where you could argue we don’t deserve to know because it was a personal issue that in no way was related to the presidency.

Controversies always are going to be present in any type of election. And they will probably be deemed more im-portant than pressing issues at times. But they shouldn’t be the only things we know about candidates. As a society, we need to stay informed about what people are doing right amid all the stories of what they’re doing wrong.

OPINION COLUMNIST

The U.S. Supreme Court began its new term Monday,

and there are some inter-esting cases coming up.

Although it is not of-ficially on the agenda, the challenges to President Barack Obama’s health care bill probably will make it to the court. The lower courts have turned out opposing opinions, and the president is pushing for action by the court on this issue. It is possible the Supreme Court will take up one of the cases.

On the official agenda this term are many large civil cases. The reason this particular term is important is because it could alter the criminal justice system in the United States completely.

The court will hear a case about the police needing to get a warrant to place tracking devices on a suspect’s car. Also, whether you can be strip-searched in jail for a minor

offense. Right now, they can do both those things without repercussions.

One of the bigger cases on the docket is Federal Communications Commission v. Fox Television Stations, about how much control the FCC has over television net-works, dealing specifically with impromptu moments of partial nudity and expletive use on television series and specials.

There also is a case about whether religious institutions have to follow federal non-discrimination policies when dealing with disabilities. This case began after a teacher with narcolepsy who taught secular subjects at a Lutheran school was fired. This is an important case because it deals with how religious institutions deal with employ-ment and whether they have to follow anti-discrimination laws, which could affect other discriminated groups.

There are many other cases before the court this term, and I encourage everyone to look into to how the courts may alter your lives.

OPINION COLUMNIST

Re: “Gender-neutral housing opens door to more prob-lems,” published Sept. 28

Gender-neutral housing has been in consideration by multiple organizations at OU for several years now and, as Delaney Harness states, many students aren’t aware of the proposal.

Students — especially those living in the residence halls, since they are the ones this proposal directly im-pacts — are encouraged to know what issues are being discussed and feel comfortable voicing their well-in-formed opinions.

The problem the Housing Center Student Association has with Harness’s column is that there is currently no such imminent policy change, and if there were, the as-sociation would make it a priority to inform residents.

A s t h e a s s o c i a t i o n ’s General Council chairwom-an, I am somewhat surprised by the implication that the council, which is the asso-ciation’s legislative body, is this “tight-lipped” group. P e r t h e O p e n M e e t i n g s Act, every meeting agenda and piece of legislation the General Council votes on is posted on its website, hcsa.ou.edu, before midnight on the Friday preceding our Monday meeting.

There is an “OU Housing Center Student Association” Facebook page, and you can follow @OUhcsa on Twitter. The Housing Center Student

Association maintains a strong online presence to keep residents involved and informed.

Additionally, there was an association representative at every floor meeting this year to talk about the oppor-tunities we present for Housing leadership. We were also at Camp Crimson.

We were at the South Oval involvement fair, and the SOW involvement fair on the Walker-Adams Mall. We talk about the association at the Resident Student Association meetings (held at the respective centers’ RSA offices at 9 p.m. every Monday in Adams, Cate, Couch and Walker and at 9:15 p.m. at Traditions East and West).

However, further advertisement, especially concern-ing the association’s large-scale discussions, is a sug-gestion we will take to heart and implement.

The Housing Center Student Association also would like to clarify the status of the gender-neutral housing proposal. At the Sept. 19 meeting, members of Students for a Democratic Society and Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Friends presented the current version of their proposal, followed by a General Council discus-sion and Q-and-A session.

Opinions on the topic were by no means unanimous — in fact, several of the issues that were presented in Harness’s column were brought up. The discussion was tabled after nearly 20 minutes of conversation, and after discussion next week, we anticipate it will be sent to committee for further deliberation.

As you can see, there is no legislation. We don’t have a fully formed, comprehensive opinion on the topic. If the association develops one, it will be after further dis-cussion, introspection and research. What the Housing Center Student Association does is to promote the needs of residents.

We encourage anyone else with that interest to come to our meetings at 7 p.m. Monday nights in Couch Center Room 131 or to email us at hcsa@ou.edu.

10/3

TUESDAY, OCT. 4, 2011

By being methodical and organized, your probabilities for achieving success in the year ahead could be better than usual. Try to focus on where your greatest potential lies and move less meaningful objectives to the bottom of your list.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- There is a strong possibility that both you and your associates will have low fl ash points. Of course you can’t do anything about their grumbling, but you certainly can about your own. Smile a lot, for starters.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Nothing can be resolved if you don’t bring issues out into the open, where friends and family alike can help. The worst time to restrict their input is when you need assistance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take the edge off the pressure by paying down at least a small portion of an outstanding fi nancial obligation. Letting it fester will merely lead to a major infection.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Use your feistiness and be as-sertive by pushing for everyone’s interests instead of your own. That way others will be in your corner, helping you get what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This might not be one of those lucky days when you’ll be able to get others to help you, but others might be fortunate in getting you to help bear their heavy burdens. Relax; you’ll get your turn.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be diplomatic if you encounter some-one who used to be a friend but with whom you’ve had a falling out. If you wish to keep your good standing with the rest of your pals, you need to play it cool.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It behooves you not to be demand-ing or abrasive when handling a complicated matter. If you act like a real wisenheimer, you’ll be left alone to fend for yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let a heated discussion develop by trying to force your opinions onto someone who has told you that he or she isn’t buy-ing what you’re selling. You won’t change this person’s mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Even when encouraged to do so by someone who has made it big, don’t take any unreasonable risks pertaining to your fi nancial affairs. Let others do the gambling.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Hold off until you feel comfort-able if you fi nd yourself being squeezed into making an impor-tant decision under pressure. Take all the time you need to balance your alternatives.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Use your common sense when it comes to working with unfamiliar tools or materials. Be sensible about taking safety precautions when attempting to do something that could be dangerous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If out there, try to take lightly anything that is meant simply as a joke. It’s to your advantage to chortle along with the crowd.

Paul simon“songwriter”(Record label)

Rating: 1/2

Paul Simon will be 70 this month. He can still sing better than most singers one-third of his age, and he proves it in his new collec-tion of songs, “Songwriter.”

S i m o n h a n d p i c k e d his collection himself. Covering his entire musi-cal catalogue, “Songwriter” includes music from his early genius with Simon & Garfunkel to his most re-cent works.

Megan Deaton is a journalism sophomore.

Relient k“k is for karaoke”(Record label)

Rating: 1/2

While a cover album of decidedly non-Christian rock songs might seem out of Relient K’s range, their quirky sound brings some-thing different to these tried-and-true tracks on “K is for Karaoke.”

The album is an in-teresting mix of 80s, 90s and present day remakes with songs such as Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”.

Students gather momentum at art event in Tulsa

Alex NiblettLife & Arts Reporter

Tulsa’s Brady Arts dis-trict will host the Oklahoma Visual Art Coalition’s annual art exhibition this weekend, featuring work from up-and-coming artists from all over Oklahoma.

“Oklahoma Visual Arts Coali t ion’s Momentum Tulsa: Art Doesn’t Stand Still” will begin at 8 p.m. Saturday, ending at midnight.

The work at the exhibition will include paintings, pho-tography, sculptures, films, performances and large-scale installations. In total, 60 artists will participate in the event; three of these art-ists were named the “spot-light artists” for fall 2011.

Out of 15 applicants, Jessica Tankersley, visual arts junior, was one of the three awarded the Momentum Spotlight award, receiving $1,500 to create a work of art and the chance to interact with a curator.

“The money makes it pos-sible to execute this piece and this opportunity gives me experience with the cu-rators who guide the vibe of the show,” Tankersley said.

This annual event gives young aspiring artists a chance to show the world what they are capable of cre-ating, coalition director Julia Kirt said.

OVAC supports young artists who live and work in Oklahoma and are under the age of 30, according to OVAC’s website.

More than 120 artists ap-plied to be in the event, Kirt said.

“This event encourages young artists because it is a good experience to compete and have their work shown,” Kirt said. “It is a good place to see the wide variety of young artists in Oklahoma.”

Tankersley said she cre-ated a unique electronic sculpture called “Twitter Heart” with moving latex that works to represent the valve of a moving heart. As long as people keep tweeting the word “heart,” it will keep working, she said.

“It demonstrates that peo-ple can’t live without social-networking — it’s like a vital organ,” Tankersley said.

SPORTSTomorrow ››Pick up Wednesday’s paper for a preview of Saturday’s OU-Texas matchup and a breakdown of what to watch for in Dallas.

If you follow OU foot-ball, you’ve heard by now: The Sooners

dropped in the AP poll from No. 2 to No. 3 after starting the season at No. 1.

If you’re upset about OU dropping in the poll in consecutive weeks, don’t be. There’s too much foot-ball left to play to become angry about such things.

One of the two teams ranked ahead of the Sooners — LSU (No. 1) and Alabama (No. 2) — won’t stay there because they play each other Nov. 5. Oklahoma is still the No. 1-ranked team in the Coaches poll, and the BCS poll — the only poll that counts — won’t be out for weeks.

So relax.Despite what most col-

lege football pundits write, the polls aren’t indicative of the absolute best team in college football, and they’ll never be — at least not until the end of each season, when a national champion is crowned.

As long as the BCS exists and programs like Boise State and TCU are putting together undefeated seasons without playing against the aforementioned teams, an argument could be made for why any team that wins the BCS championship isn’t the true national champion.

Also, a playoff system of the top eight teams or more would fix the BCS. In that case, Oklahoma wouldn’t have to defend its drubbing of Ball State on Saturday.

Yes, OU put up 62 points and allowed just 6 to a Ball State team that was 3-1 en-tering Oklahoma Memorial Stadium last Saturday.

But it was Ball State — a sentence I’m sure AP voters

used to justify their votes.The pollsters have demon-

strated a love for SEC teams, and for good reason — the SEC owns the last five BCS national championships. The road begins and ends with that conference.

In the Big 12, however, Oklahoma State seems to be the only team with enough firepower to derail the Sooners’ chase for an eighth national championship.

But that means OU will have to first lay to waste No. 11 Texas (4-0), No. 20 Kansas State (4-0), Texas Tech (4-0), No. 24 Texas A&M (2-2) and No. 25 Baylor (3-1) — each capable of beating OU.

So before fans get upset about OU’s ranking, wait to see if the Sooners get through October unscathed.

You wouldn’t want an-other 2009 Missouri debacle, would you?

Pre-game analysts Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, David Pollack and Desmond Howard will host ESPN’s Saturday college football coverage from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Kirk Herbstreit, Brent Musberger and Erin Andrews will be the broadcast team.

Franks to rejoin Sooners in time for Red River Rivalry

Sophomore wide receiver Trey Franks was reinstated, OU coach Bob Stoops an-nounced Monday afternoon.

The receiver, who was suspended for the Missouri and Ball State games for violating unspecified team rules, will be active for Saturday’s OU-Texas game.

It’s unclear how much playing time he’ll see, though, with the emergence of sopho-more Jaz Reynolds during Franks’ suspen-sion. Reynolds led the Sooners in receiving against Ball State with 141 yards.

Texas sophomore quarterback case mccoy (6) hands off during the Texas-bYu game. mccoy has split time with freshman David ash.

GreG Fewellassistant Sports editor

In last year’s Red River Rivalry, Texas looked like a team struggling to find an identity on offense.

Not so this year.After benching last year’s

starter, Garrett Gilbert, Texas’ offense has been producing big numbers with a pair of dual-threat quarterbacks.

Sophomore Case McCoy and freshman David Ash split time at the position, mean-ing defenses have to plan for two different players who can both do damage in the air or on the ground.

“It’s hard because you have to try to figure out which ten-dency each quarterback will have,” OU junior cornerback Demontre Hurst said. “But overall, I think we just have to go in with the mindset that both of their quarterbacks can do both jobs. If we do that, then we’ll be just fine.”

The other factor in the Texas offense f inding a rhythm is freshman run-ning back Malcolm Brown. The freshman is averaging 4.8 yards per carry as the Longhorns’ featured back.

“He’s a really good running

back,” OU senior defensive end Frank Alexander said. “He’s very fast, athletic and can get out on the perimeter very quickly. We’ve just got

to take that part of the game away from them.

“If you can stop the run game, you can control the game.”
