Over-enrollment and limited space cause course to be canceled next fall

MOLLY EVANSAssistant Campus Editor

An engineering course will be canceled by fall 2014 because of over-enrollment, expanded programs and a limited amount of lab space at its off-campus, partner-ing facility.

Design and Manufacturing II (ISE 3304), is a course OU offers with accompanying lab sessions held three nights a week at the Moore Norman Technology Center, said Sarah Young, industrial systems engineering senior who took the class last fall.

The course teaches OU engineering students of all dis-ciplines to transform computer-designed models into tangible products, Young said.

The course is the “brainchild” of Raman Shivakumar, a professor at the College of Engineering, and it has been for 20 years, he said.

Each fall, the course is capped at 48 students deviating 16 students into each of the three available evening lab sessions held in the precision machining classroom at the Moore Norman Technology Center, Young said.

Young worked with equipment such as lathes, drill presses and grinders, she said.

Unlike at OU’s facility, students could work simulta-neously with the same tool on the same skill because the technology center has multiple machines in a row, Young said.

The class offers students the best possible skill set in the Southwest, Shivakumar said, and to cancel the class is to minimize that skill set and decrease the marketabil-ity of the students.

The technology center evaluated its technical training programs ear-lier this year and decided to expand their Precision Machining career pro-gram by adding evening classes, said Stephanie Royse, director of market-ing at Moore Norman Technology Center.

“Due to a f inite amount of lab space, MNTC will not be able to offer the classroom to the OU College of Engineering on weeknight evenings beginning with the fall 2014 semester,” she said.

The technology center offered a Saturday class option, but with the busy Saturday schedules of both stu-dents and the instructors during the fall, Shivakumar decided against it, he said.

“This has been a valued partner-ship with OU for many years,” said Jane Bowen, superintendent of Moore Norman Technology Center.

Bowen said she was open to find-ing a solution and working with the College of Engineering.

This program is the only one of its kind among regional universities and without it, student will not get the unique experience and training, Shivakumar said.

Because it’s the only class of its kind, many industrial systems engineering and mechanical engineering students sign up for the class every year, said Katy Rubin, industrial systems engi-neering senior.

Rubin, who is the president of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, currently is taking the class and is con-cerned that if professors don’t voice

their opinions, the class definitely will be canceled, she said.

“I believe if this class disappears, [industrial system] engineers and other engineers will not be as market-able to companies and will weaken our degree immensely,” said Rubin.

When Young was applying for an engineering internship, the interview-ers told her they would not have con-sidered her if she had not acquired the skills from Design and Manufacturing II, she said.

The class gives students not only hands-on technical training with the machines but also the conceptual skill of understanding the feasibility of exe-cuting a design, Young said.

“We are learning a hard skill that will help us become better engineers,” Rubin said.

Norman parking enforcement officers will start issuing warnings followed by fines for cars parked illegally on the sidewalks, espe-cially on game days.

Parking always has been an issue, particu-larly with the football crowds, said Norman Police Capt. Tom Easley. Vehicles parked on sidewalks create a safety issue for pedestri-ans, bicyclists and persons with special needs — particularly those using wheelchairs — by forcing them into the street and in harm’s way of passing cars, Easley said.

“Game days are the worst because people park everywhere and anywhere they can,

including private property,” he said.Vehicles parked on residents’ grass for a

fee is illegal also, but violations typically are warned or waived, because it does not typi-cally jeopardize the public’s safety, Easley said.

“A great deal of the public simply [isn’t] aware it’s a violation,” Easley said.

Several complaints about the parking issue led the police department to issue the new vi-olation policy, Easley said.

Parking, stopping or standing a vehicle on a sidewalk violates Chapter 20, Sec. 805, of Norman’s City Ordinances.

On non-game days, violators most likely will receive a warning, but game-day viola-tions may result in an automatic fine, de-pending on the parking enforcement officer, Easley said.

After a full week and 300 gal lons of cr imson and white paint, Owen Field is ready for a football game. The next day, clean-up and preparation begins again.

OU ’s footbal l players aren’t the only ones pre-p a r i n g t h ro u g h o u t t h e week for Saturday’s game. Facil it ies Management, Field Management and Athletic Department work-ers spend the week prepar-ing the field for action, said Sue-Anna Miller, a Facilities Management employee.

“With mowing, fertiliz-ing and painting, it takes a week to fully get ready for a game,” said Jeff Salmond, director of Athletic Field Management.

Here’s a look at the work that goes on throughout the week to get the field ready for game day:

GRASSSince the field is made up

of natural grass, crews must mow the grass, sweep the two acres of field and then check the moisture and

nutrient levels in the grass and soil before painting the field.

BOUNDARIESMeasurements are taken

before the first game of the season for yard line place-ments and to paint the side-lines and end zones straight. Each week, these dimen-sions are taken and double checked so workers can re-paint the field.

The painting is broken into sections throughout the week, with workers spending four to five hours a day for three days to finish. Lines, numbers and hashes are painted on Thursdays using stencils.

By Saturday’s game, pres-surized sprayers have ap-plied more than 300 gal-lons of custom crimson and white paint to the field.

OU SYMBOL/END ZONES

The interlocking OU sym-bol in the middle of the field is painted on Wednesdays and Fridays. When paint-ing the middle logo and end zones, the borders of th let-ters are done first, and the inside is filled in afterward.

Student section, this one’s for you.The football team relies on you for sup-

port. The entire stadium feeds off your energy. You need to be at every game, and Saturday is no exception.

If you’re buying student tickets at the be-ginning of the season, you should be going to the games.

You’ve been doing great so far this sea-son. You’ve been there, filled up the seats and stayed past halftime — well into the fourth quarter, even. You helped “Stripe the Stadium” last week.

But this week, we’ve been disappointed. It seems like everywhere we turn, students are selling their student tickets. It’s filling up our Facebook and Twitter feeds.

The OU football tickets Facebook group has over 2,000 members. That’s a big num-ber, and it’s sad that so many students have turned to that group at one point or another to sell their tickets.

The game is early — we get that. An 11 a.m. kick off doesn’t lend itself to tailgating. But really, the early game is a good thing.

We have two ideas to make the most of your early morning experience before the game: mimosas and breakfast tacos. You can thank us later.

In addition to our recommended break-fast of champions, the 11 a.m. kickoff means the temperature will be cooler than in pre-vious weeks. Typically, the day’s high will kick in around 3 or 4 p.m., according to the Weather Channel. This week’s game will be done by 2:30 p.m. at the latest. So yeah, it’ll be hot, but it will be even hotter later. Just remember the sunscreen.

Then, when you get home, it’ll be after-noon and time for prime time games. Sure

you might miss a little College Game Day in the morning, but everyone needs a break from Lee Corso from time to time.

All these reasons are just lighthearted fun compared to the real reason we feel it’s im-portant for you to go to the game Saturday.

It’s part of your job as a student.It shouldn’t be another way for you to

make money. It should be viewed as more than just a social event.

Going to a school with an established football program means something. It’s se-rious business. It’s something you get to be a part of. It’s a privilege.

There’s a reason it’s called home field ad-vantage. It’s common knowledge that play-ers play better with team support and that support is led by the student section.

We applaud your efforts so far, but we’re challenging you for more.

The Oklahoma football team can play with the elite, so why can’t our student section?

Opponents are afraid to travel to plac-es like Texas A&M, Ohio State, Michigan or LSU — the atmosphere there is over-whelming. It’s hard to go in and play well. Oklahoma should be a part of that group.

But it falls on the students. The atmo-sphere feeds off you. It’s your school, so take some pride in it.

If nobody has bought your ticket yet, take it off the market. Wake up early and go to the game.

And when you get there, cheer. Be loud. Support your team and stay the whole time. You can nap later to make up for it.

Comment on this at OUDaily.com.

If you want to make a difference during your time at OU, dream

big, ask questions and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

The Norman chapter of Citizen’s Climate Lobby helped me dream big this summer — Washington, D.C. big — and it could be your opportunity too.

CCL, a politically active environmental organization that seeks to create a political will for a stable climate, connected me with OU students, professors and professionals who are committed to exercising their personal and political power to influence policy and create change.

I traveled to Capitol Hill to attend CCL’s annual interna-tional conference to lobby with CCL for a revenue-neutral carbon tax in which 100 percent of the revenue would go back to households.

I learned about climate change from experts in the field, including CCL’s keynote speaker, James Hansen, a climate expert and retired NASA scientist.

I met doctors, farmers, lawyers and students from across the country who want to be a part of the climate change conversation, but the most important thing I did in Washington, D.C. was lobby. I experienced three days of lobby training. I met with congressmen and congresswom-en (and their aides) to talk about the economics, science and politics of climate change.

On a political level, this was the ultimate way to partici-pate in the democratic process. Navigating the House and Senate buildings to meet with my representatives about an issue that is affecting our environment and posterity is about as democratic as it gets.

In terms of networking, meeting with professionals, col-laborating within a group and developing leadership skills, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was pretty exhilarating to meet with a group of people I hadn’t met before, assign talking points and rehearse for five minutes before we were sitting in Senator Cole’s office for thirty min-utes talking about CCL’s plan to reduce carbon emissions.

I learned that, despite the grandeur on Meet the Press, lawmakers are people just like you and me. We should be encouraged to reach out to them; to call, email or visit our representative’s office; or to voice concerns about our com-munity, state or nation. After all, they do work for and rep-resent us.

CCL members are regular people in that they all don’t necessarily have a science or climate background. You can understand the complexities behind carbon emissions or not. But rest assured that whatever your level of knowledge, chances are after going through three days of training or doing a bit of research, you will know more than your aver-age lawmaker.

I encourage you to join Norman’s CCL chapter to learn more about the professors, students and community mem-bers who are interested in preserving the environment and creating a climate change dialogue between lawmakers and the public.

SATIRE

Medieval feudalism is the key to successful social networking

Researchers at the University of Michigan released

a study that found increas-ing amounts of Facebook usage leads to decreases in happiness and personal satisfaction. John Jonides, a co-author of the study, said this likely is due to social comparisons made while using the site.

This has led to the rise of many theories regarding how we can improve our online social experience. One such theory posited by Rebecca Corningstone, a graduate student ma-joring in social media relations at the University of Phoenix, suggests that Facebook users adopt a friend-ing rubric simi-lar to caste systems that existed in feudal England in order to avoid feelings of sadness.

“The merits of a lord and vassal system are multiple. Not only does everyone know their place but most of your inter-actions will be with people who are comparable to you,” she said, claiming that many of us are already participating in such systems. “It’s easier to avoid social comparisons since most of your friends will be approximate to you in economic status, attractiveness, etc. There’s a significant level of com-fort there.”

Determined to test how much Facebook really effects our emotions, I reached out to several levels of the “friend hi-erarchy” to see how social media plays on their emotions. Starting at the top, I spoke with the social media team (SMT) of a popular actress, asking whether Facebook had an im-pact on their emotions.

“Definitely,” the SMT said. “When someone else is

trending, I personally start to hate myself.” A second user, who asked to be identified as The

OFFICIAL Zac, holds the 32nd longest Facebook login time in the world. Mark Zuckerburg is only at 216th.

“I would be 12th on that list, but my ex-girlfriend logged me out after our breakup. It really hurt you know? I’d do any-thing to get that time back.”

This wasn’t the only instance that Facebook had de-pressed The OFFICIAL Zac. In the summer of 2011, his friend who currently attends OU (we will refer to him as John) disappeared.

“It was traumatizing. For him to just leave like that … No one knew where he was and I thought the worst.”

After John’s account had been inactive for five days, The Official Zac posted a “have you seen me” picture of John. It gained 627 likes and was shared 112 times. Despite the best efforts of The O.Z. and his friends, John didn’t resurface for another 12 weeks until his aunt tagged him in a family photo.

Intrigued, I sought John out on campus and he agreed to meet with me. While I was used to the trauma that can be caused by social media, John’s level of denial about his own feelings were shocking. When asked whether Facebook effected his self-esteem and if he realized he was part of a complex on-line social caste he replied, “How does it, what? Self e-, what? Are you serious?”

Sensing an opportunity to break through his emotional shell, I asked about his mysterious and abrupt disappear-ance in 2011.

“Dear god, not this again. I just wasn’t on Facebook! I took the ACT and went to a family reunion in Memphis that sum-mer! Am I being paid for this?”

John became considerably more distraught and left the interview when I informed him that everything was going to be OK, and that he would not be getting paid.

Corninstone’s theory of Facebook shaming against those who don’t embrace the “rule of wall” might be a possible solution to this social problem.

“In feudal Europe, most societies and the Church un-derstood the power of public embarrassment. Stockades and mobs with rotten vegetables were a deterrent to those who didn’t properly assimilate into society. This holds true today.”

The lesson to be learned from all this is that our actions af-fect other people, whether we know it or not. People at both the top and bottom of the social pyramid need to keep this in mind and ‘friend’ appropriately. A refusal to adapt to online hierarchical forms has negative effects on both you and your community.

FOOTBALL

Blake Bell to start against Golden HurricaneThe Belldozer will get his first start in Saturday’s matchup against Tulsa

RYAN GERBOSISports Reporter

At the end of Wednesday’s practice, the OU soccer team left their shin guards and cleats to the side.

Instead of practicing their free kicks or corners for this weekend’s games against Oral Roberts and North Texas, coach Matt Potter led his girls to the courts for a team-wide tennis tournament.

“Today was just a chance to breathe a little bit,” Potter said while his players smacked tennis balls behind him.

After losses at No. 10 Florida and No. 2 Florida State last weekend, the Sooners need to catch their breath soon. OU is now 2-4 with a third of their season behind them and Big 12 play quickly approaching.

“Obviously, it was a big weekend playing some great teams, and we all understand what we are capable of doing and what’s coming up,” Potter said.

While there were some moral victories in Florida, the Sooners aren’t happy with losses.

“There’s a lot more positives than negatives, although a program like ourselves wants to be known for winning games,” Potter said. “When you’re doing that against the country’s elite, the signs are good.”

The Sooners will try to get back to winning Friday night against Oral Roberts. The Golden Eagles are 4-1 this season and have been on a scoring spree, putting in 14 goals in their last two matches.

North Texas will come to town Sunday for the second half of the weekend set. UNT is playing well this season, posting a 4-2 record and battling No. 10 Wake Forrest to two overtimes.

Even though OU played two top teams last weekend, freshman Caren Nelson says these games are crucial.

“We can’t take them lightly,” Nelson said. “It’s nice to have two home games, but they’re still important and we’re going to defend our home field.”

JOE MUSSATTOSports Reporter

When Blake Bell takes the field this weekend, it won’t just be in his trademarked Belldozer formation, not just in fourth quarter mop up time, but as the starting quarterback for Oklahoma.

The junior will be mak-ing his first career start at 6 p.m. Saturday as the 14th ranked Sooners play host to in-state foe, Tulsa, at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Bell has always been a fan-favorite, even in the Landry Jones era, and as redshirt freshman quar-terback Trevor Knight committed three turnovers against West Virginia a week ago, calls for Bell rang from the student section.

The request was an-swered to begin the fourth quarter, but mostly due to the later known fact that Knight had injured his knee. Knight will be unavailable against the Golden Hurricane, and coach Bob Stoops an-nounced earlier this week the offensive reins would be handed to Bell.

Although the 6-foot-6 quarterback has yet to make a start, Bell has played in 22 games for the Sooners and has totaled 24 touchdowns — mostly out

of short-yardage goal line situations.

“Blake’s played in a bunch of football games,” co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. “He’s played in a bunch of big games, he’s played in high-pressure situations, he’s pretty confident as a football player. I expect he’ll handle himself in the right way and play well on Saturday.”

Opposite Bell and the Sooners will be coach Bill Blankenship’s Tulsa team (1-1). The Golden Hurricane were blown away by Bowling Green to begin the season, but over-came the loss by defeating Colorado State, 30-27, a week ago.

In Stoops’ career versus Tulsa, the coach is a per-fect 6-0, including a, 47-14 rout in 2011 — the last time the squads met. But Blankenship has continued to build a Tulsa program that rattled off 11 wins a year ago, and he pondered a question on if the gap be-tween the two programs is narrowing.

“We’ll see. We’d like to think so,” Blankenship said. “That’s exactly why we want to play them. These are the games where you measure yourself.”

The Sooners are idle next

Outside hitter Keila Rodriguez jumps for a hit during the home open-er against Arkansas on Tuesday at the McCasland Fieldhouse. The Sooners came out on top with a final score of 3-0.

The Sooners are back on the road again, this time preparing to play in the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational in Springfield, Mo.

The Sooners are coming off a bit of a shaky perfor-mance in the Portland State Tournament, in which they suffered their first loss of the season, but ended the tournament on a high note after securing a come-from- behind victory against No. 25 BYU.

The Sooners will hope to carry that momentum into the Dr. Mary Jo Invitational where they will prepare to face Alabama A&M at 4:30 p.m. today.

The Bulldogs are cur-rently winless on the sea-son with a record of 0-6. However, head coach Santiago Restrepo believes preparation is key when playing different teams re-gardless of their record.

“When we prepare for these tournaments, we pre-pare for each team individu-ally,” Restrepo said. “[We do this] because we are seeing three different teams at a time who all bring different strengths to the match.”

After suffering the first loss of the season to the

week before the anticipated matchup in South Bend, Ind. against Notre Dame, but senior captain Trey Millard isn’t shifting his focus away from Tulsa.

“They’re a team that’s definitely going to come in

here and play hard, a team with a lot of Oklahoma guys that are going to come back here and try to prove some-thing,” Millard said. “We’re going to get their best shot.”

And likewise, the Golden Hurricane will get Bell’s

best shot.Knight will be back in

the mix soon, and with the reemergence of sopho-more quarterback Kendal Thompson in the quarter-back battle, Bell has the chance to prove the spot is

his.“I’m excited for him. He’s

a great player and I expect him to play well,” Millard said.

Outisde hitter Keila Rodriguez jumps for a hit during the home opener against Arkansas on Tuesday at the McCasland Fieldhouse. The Sooners came out on top with a final score of 3-0.

Women travel to Springfield to represent Sooners

Pacific Tigers, the Sooners looked to the seniors on the team to help boost momen-tum for the next two match-es. One of those seniors was outside hitter Keila Rodriguez, who is embrac-ing her role as a leader on a predominately young team.

“I’ve been here for three years now, and I’ve learned from my teammates how to be a better leader, “Rodriguez said. “That has definitely helped me help the younger girls on the team, especially during dif-ficult situations.”

The Sooners hope they will not encounter any difficult situations during this tournament, however,

if they do, the seniors are confident that the younger players will be able to han-dle adversity and make the proper adjustments to win the match.

“When we lost that first game, we knew we had a chance to really redeem ourselves against BYU, but we ended up losing the first two sets.” Rodriguez said. “We told the younger play-ers to learn from the mis-takes and make up for it in the next sets, and we ended up with the win.”

There still is a long way to go in the season, and the Sooners are still improving both individually and as a team, as well as improving

on the little things that will pay dividends as the season progresses.

“We are still becoming better amongst ourselves,” Restrepo said. “When we improve on the little things, we can start applying them to the matches coming up.”

Hopefully the Sooners have learned from those mistakes and apply the im-provements when they pre-pare to face Alabama A&M, Middle Tennessee State, and Missouri State this weekend.

Monitor what’s going on in your personal life, but don’t make hasty decisions that could affect your personal fi nances in the year ahead. The experience you gain by getting involved in organizations you believe in or with people who share your concerns will pay off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Travel plans will lift your spirits. Even if you take a short trip or sign up for an evening of fun and games, it will do much to enliven your day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Emotional involvements will escalate if you don’t take care of them. Walk away from anyone who’s too demanding or not looking out for your best interest. Don’t be afraid to do your own thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Put some creative thought into your home and family life. Consider changes that will encourage you to be more innovative and adventurous. Personal improvements will build confi dence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Do what you can to help others, but don’t make any fi nancial contributions. Offer suggestions, hands-on help or even a shoulder to cry on, but nothing more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Mix business with pleasure and you will make new friends and improve your reputation. Include someone you are involved with personally, or you may face a dilemma at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)

-- You’ll come up with interesting ideas, but not everyone will share your vision. Don’t invest in a scheme if it’s too ahead of its time; it’ll keep.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you devote some time to a physical improvement regimen, you’ll be pleased by the results. You’ll have a whole new sense of confi dence, which could lead to romance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take on a physical challenge today. Size up an emotional situation and defuse it before it’s too late, or prepare to walk away for good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Put relationships and your future intentions in the spotlight, and discuss your plans with the people who count. A face-to-face encounter will help settle matters quickly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll have some good ideas, but not everyone will be prepared to receive them. Prepare to do the legwork and clear up any weak links before presenting your plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take some time to hang out with someone you fi nd intriguing. Express your thoughts and make long-term plans that will ensure your security.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Bring about certain changes that will make you happy. You won’t please everyone, but you will at least know where you stand and how you can and should proceed. It’s a good time to begin afresh.

Drawing inspiration from both contemporary and Native American sculpture, Christine Nofchissey McHorse is one of the foremost figures in Native American pottery today.

Her first traveling ex-hibition, Dark Light: The Mi c a c e o u s C e r a m i c s of Christine Nofchissey M c H o r s e , w i l l o p e n Saturday at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.

McHorse will be giv-ing a guest lecture at the museum at 6 tonight as part of the Jerome M. and Wanda Otey Westheimer Distinguished Visiting Artist Chair program, ac-cording to a press release.

Michael Bendure, the museum’s director of communication, said the lecture is an amazing opportunity for OU students to meet a prominent contemporary artist.

“There’s a lot of curvature,” Bendure said. “There’s a lot of organic shapes that you might find in nature. These works are very large, they’re very well-constructed, and

they have a very unique look and feel to them.”

Though McHorse uses a traditional Native American approach and process in her work, the end prod-uct is very nontraditional, Bendure said.

Ceramics enthusiasts who aren’t generally inter-ested in southwestern work have collected hers, he said.

McHorse has a unique way of transcending tradi-tional Native American and southwestern work to find her place among the major contemporary ceramists, Bendure said.

Her exhibition’s name, Dark Light, refers to the

sheen or sparkle seen on the black mica-rich clay in its final form, according to the press release.

Dark Light will run at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art until Jan. 12, 2014.

The time has come for America’s best paint party to make

its annual stop in Oklahoma City. Life in Color is back 8 p.m. Friday at the Cox Convention Center.

Here are some important tips for you rave-aholics to successfully survive your first paint party:

If you’re in the paint zone, it doesn’t matter what clothes you wear — you will be covered from head to toe in paint.

For the guys, I would rec-ommend wearing a plain white tee or a shirt you don’t care about, because you’re going to be sweaty and cov-ered in paint.

For the ladies, I would recommend you leave your furry boots at home, un-less you want your feet to be sloshing around in paint for the whole rave. Also, I wouldn’t care about doing your makeup or hair. Last year, I saw so many paint covered girls with mascara running down their faces, looking like zombies. I don’t want that to happen to you, ladies.

I strongly suggest you

bring as little as possible. That means your cell phone,

keys (if you’re driving), your ticket, and your driver’s li-cense. Last year, I put all of my items into a sandwich sized Ziploc bag inside of a gallon size bag, which kept all the paint gooiness off my valuables.

My next piece of advice to

help get you prepared for the inevitable drive home from the paint party is to cover your seats with a tarp. If you don’t have a tarp, use trash bags. You don’t want to ruin your car’s seats, and there is no magical button that cleans you after it’s over.

Now that the preparations

are all taken care of, let’s dive into the details of how the event will go. Last year, each of the first two disc jockeys played for about 45 minutes each, and then the head-liner came out and started

Boutique owners to throw party for the store’s third year of business

Briana Halllife and arts reporter

The ow ners of one of Norman’s popular indie boutiques, STASH, are cel-ebrating their store’s third anniversary Friday in con-junction with the monthly art walk.

The event will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. Friday at the STASH store.

Though many small shops and boutiques go under after a year or so of being open, STASH has continued its presence in the Norman art scene. The store’s employees attribute this success to the genuineness of production and sale that the store offers.

Brooke Kelty is a public relations junior at OU who works at the store. To cel-ebrate the store’s success, Kelty said Friday’s event will include music, cupcakes, food trucks, an open bar, a classic car show and a big giveaway.

Many local businesses have been contributing to the giveaway, so the prize will be worthwhile, she said.

Rebecca Bean, one of the owners of STASH, said event goers can enter to win a “ba-dass raffle prize” of $500.

Though the store has moved from selling only vin-tage items to almost com-pletely new items, Kelty said, she assured us that there are criteria for the products that are sold in STASH.

“It has to be vintage, fair trade or made in the U.S.A., and we have a lot of made-in-Oklahoma items,” Kelty said. “We don’t have anything that’s made in

playing. At this point, the paint was very minimal, but the music was good.

At some point during the headliner’s set, an hour is put on the clock on the stage — when that clock hits zero, the paint blasts ensue. Don’t worry, the wait is to-tally worth it. When the paint spray hits you, you’ll feel amazing, and the next hour to an hour and a half will be the most carefree time of your life.

You don’t want to miss this year’s event, because Adventure Club is headlin-ing. If you are into electronic dance music, come out to the Cox Convention Center Friday and let loose for a while.
