University wells used to water on campus not subject to Norman’s water conservation

CHASE COOKThe Oklahoma Daily

OU does not have to directly ad-here to Norman’s current water conservation efforts, but the uni-versity does make an effort to use less water when it can, OU Facilities Management director said.

OU has its own well system which supplies the university with non-potable water that is used for irrigation purposes across cam-pus, Facilities Management direc-tor Brian Ellis said.

Because OU’s irrigation water is supplied by its own wells, it doesn’t have to follow any conservation ef-forts by the city of Norman, Ellis said.

Norman’s water conservation efforts is at stage two of three and mandates residents and commer-cial users not to water their lawns between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. with re-strictions applying during water-ing times, according to the city’s website.

The conservation effort is man-datory and was applied because the city’s demand for water ex-ceeds the current supply by more than 3 million gallons a day, said Ken Komiske, Norman’s utilities director.

Excess demand is purchased from Oklahoma City which is under its own pressures due to the weather, Komiske said.

Expanding freshmen class causing camp’s enrollment to swell by 250 students from last year’s overall enrollment

NATE FEKENThe Oklahoma Daily

Camp Crimson, OU’s student orientation program, will have a re-cord number of students attend the camp’s three sessions this July.

The near 1,800 students participating in this year’s camp will shatter the old Camp Crimson attendance record, said Zach Stevens, Camp Crimson director. As of right now, there will be 250 students more for the entire camp compared to 2010, Stevens said.

The camp’s Boomer session will run today through Saturday, the Sooner session is July 21-23 and the OKU session is July 28-30, Stevens said.

As freshman enrollment has continued to grow, Camp Crimson is getting attendance from close to half the students from each class, Stevens said.

“We would really love to see that number continue to grow because, we feel it’s really a beneficial program,” Stevens said.

Tragedy should offer lessonOur View: Austin Box’s death should open our eyes to the struggles of dealing with chronic pain alone.

The death of Austin Box is a tragic loss for the OU community. He was a beloved team member, friend and student, and he will be greatly missed.

What’s truly sad is that Box’s death was an accident due to a mixture of pain medication.

What’s worse, the medications weren’t even prescribed to him, El Reno police dis-covered Wednesday. He had been taking them illegally, likely to sooth chronic pain.

Box had a history of injuries sustained playing for the OU football team. He injured his knee and back but fought both times to rejoin the team.

Injuries like these can linger for a long time, and Box may have had a particulary bad day and needed some relief but didn’t want to tell anyone. So he took the pills, and a Sooner lost his life far too early.

We must take this tragedy and turn it into a learn-ing experience for the rest of the Sooner Nation. This isn’t a local issue — the misuse of pain medication is a national issue.

About 5 percent of young adults in America mis-use pain relivers, according to a survey by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Chronic pain is a complicated and difficult condi-tion. Treating it is difficult, and without proper guid-ance, it’s possible patients can develop an addiction.

Box probably struggled in silence because many who thought they knew all there was to know about

him were surprised by his death. This goes to show sometimes we do not know what is going on with other people unless they tell us.

There are other people on OU’s campus who suf-fer from chronic pain, and most of the time that pain is invisible to us. So if someone asks for help, give it to them.

You do not know all the reasons they might need it. And unless you suffer from an invisible problem yourself, you do not know how hard it can be just to ask for help sometimes.

Lupus, depression and fibromyalgia are just a few of the things besides injuries that make it difficult just to get through the day.

“Our greatest regret is that Austin did not feel he could share his pain with those who loved him and those he touched,” Austin’s parents said in a statement to the press.

Admitting limitations and problems to other people can be one of the most difficult things for a person to do. When it does happen, it is the job of everyone else to be as supportive as possible. Maybe it couldn’t have prevented Box’s death, but it would ease a great deal of suffering if people with chronic pain problems received more support.

To those who do struggle with addiction, depres-sion or pain of any sort: Get help. The world will not always give you the support you deserve, but Box’s death shows that struggling alone is not enough.

Medications not prescribed to BoxEl Reno police discover OU LB illegally acquired pain pills that killed him

JAMES CORLEYThe Oklahoma Daily

None of the six prescrip-tion drugs found in OU line-backer Austin Box’s system were prescribed to him, El Reno Police Chief Ken Brown said.

The police department checked the drugs against Oklahoma’s prescription-monitoring database, and none of the five pain-killers — oxymorphone, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromor-phone and oxycodon — or the anti-anxiety drug alpra-zolam found in Box’s system when he died May 19 had been prescribed to him.

The death was ruled ac-cidental, according to Box’s toxicology report released Tuesday.

The El Reno police are investigating how Box ac-quired the drugs without prescriptions.

The OU athletic depart-ment declined to comment.

Prior to the findings, Craig and Gail Box, Austin’s par-ents, told The Oklahoman they were not aware of their son having prescriptions for the pain-killers he was tak-ing, likely to cope with pain from a back injury.

Box had a history of in-juries while playing for OU. He suffered a knee injury in 2008 and missed most the 2010 season due to a back injury before returning for the last five games.

On Tuesday, OU athlet-ic department spokesman Kenneth Mossman said when players like Box are in-jured and need to see a doc-tor, the department refers

players to certain trusted physicians.

Players have the liberty to choose whether to go to the recommended physician.

Due to doctor-patient

confidentiality, it is up to the student-athlete how much information about prescrip-tions or treatments to dis-close to the athletic depart-ment, Mossman said.

Soccer fans everywhere have been watching the magic of the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup un-fold in Germany. It hasn’t been any different for Oklahoma’s soccer team.

“I haven’t watched the World Cup with my teammates, but I’ve been watching it,” junior forward Dria Hampton said. “Marta (Brazil) is hands down my favorite player be-cause I just appreciate the way she plays the game.”

Hampton’s admiration for the quick-scoring Marta comes from her enjoyment of seeing creative scoring.

“[Brazil and Germany] are very much possession-ori-ented teams with your few special players that bring that spark to the game,” Hampton said. “I enjoy watching them because their creativity on the ball in the attacking third is unbelievable.”

But the worldwide event isn’t just an excuse to spend time on the couch — the Sooners also are using the tele-vised games as a study guide for their upcoming season.

“You’re getting to watch the best players in the world and watch what they do to make their team successful,” junior forward Caitlin Mooney said. “It’s fun to watch the different teams and different styles and try to figure out what you would do in each scenario to be successful.”

Mooney said her favorite player right now is Hope Solo since the USA goalkeeper is a strong leader on the team.

“She has continuously willed the USA to win games and has done her part to step up,” Mooney said.

OU coach Nicole Nelson is glad her team is taking this summer’s opportunity.

“It’s a great chance for them to watch professionals in their own sport do what they do best,” Nelson said. “It’s great for the developmental part of the game. And there‘s just something about the never-give-up attitudes in the World Cup that make it so exciting to watch.”

More importantly, the World Cup is getting the Sooners in the mood to reunite as a team and go after their tough, regular-season schedule.

“I’ve been able to watch six or seven games so far, and it gets me really excited about the next few months to be playing as a team again,” senior defender Michelle Alexander said.

Any gay person who has grown up in this state knows Oklahomans have a long way to go before reaching social equality.

It may be tempting to wait passively for liberal politicians to drive society in the direction of tolerance. However, a critical look at their policies shows that, despite the pro-gay rhetoric used to woo interested voters, they are most invested in maintaining the status quo.

Even President Barack Obama, who successfully ma-nipulated gay voters in 2008, is a declared opponent of same-sex marriage.

It is the people, not the political elite, who must drive societal change through direct action. One of the most powerful forms of direct action any gay individual can take is to come out of the closet — to declare their ho-mosexuality to those close to them and to refuse to gloss over their sexual orientation in general.

Homophobes who believe all of their loved ones are heterosexual will find it easy to convince themselves ho-mosexuals are a fringe group of deviants and lunatics.

However, someone who knows someone they re-spect is gay will find it more difficult to demonize homosexuals.

Thursday, July 14, 2011

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Hold off on making any important agreements with another. The aspects are such that, although people mean well, it isnít likely they would stand the test of time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- People in general tend to want to shift their burdens onto someone else, so if anybody thinks youíre an easy mark, this person will try to dump his or her work in your lap. Donít be had.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Depending too heavily on Lady Luck instead of your own abilities will guarantee you to fail at whatever it is youíre trying to pull off. Avoid getting involved in anything chancy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Donít be unduly awed by titles or trappings. Just because someone has a title doesnít necessary make him or her bigger than life. It only defi nes the job the person is assigned to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- For the sake of peace, donít let yourself be drawn into a debate with someone who loves to argue. Once this person gets started, you wonít be able to turn him or her off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Itís wise to abide by your instincts and perceptions about par-ticipating in any kind of fi nancial debate with someone who always thinks he or she is right. Itíll be a lost cause.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Underestimating the competition is always a mistake. Thus, regardless of how inept you think someone is, take him or her seriously. This person might know something to which youíre not privy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Think twice before absentmind-edly being unrealistically generous to someone who doesnít deserve it. Thereís a good chance that on impulse youíll give away something youíll regret.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have a choice, avoid any gath-ering where someone who makes you feel uncomfortable is likely to be in attendance. You wonít have any fun being miserable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It would be best not to depend on another to do something for you that you know the person really doesnít want to do. She or he will either do a bad job or totally let you down.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Donít try to impose your views on someone who you know will be unreceptive to what you have to say. All youíll accomplish is making this person stand even fi rmer in his or her beliefs.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The handling of your resources isnít likely to be your strong suit today, so it behooves you to be as prudent as you can. Additionally, it would be wise not to offer any fi nancial advice.

LIFE&ARTSFriday on OUDaily.com ››Read reviews of the � nal installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.”

HARRY POTTER

Poor Hufflepuff. It arguably gets the least amount of attention of the houses in the series, leaving its traits very vague.

Hufflepuff is considered by many to be the eclectic gathering of leftover students who did not have a place in the other three houses.

On the bright side, the house is well-intentioned and always dependable.

So if you have a friend who seems a little out of place but is always there for you, give some love to the Hufflepuff House.

Do you have that brainy friend who reminds you of elementary school, back when you felt like you had to prove yourself to the teacher?

They somehow manage to do every single piece of homework, always answer questions in class and never have

time to socialize. Well, they might be a Ravenclaw (we did always wonder if Hermione wasn’t secretly a Ravenclaw).

Don’t get too frustrated by your lackluster academic standing compared to them — on the flip side, you always have a free tutor.

ENTERTAINMENT

Potter fans await final movie camped out in front of theaterBeloved characters cast their last spells for an adoring audience

BRENDAN COUGHLINThe Oklahoma Daily

People heading to the Warren Theatre in Moore Wednesday may have seen several very out-of-place tents lining the sidewalk leading up to the theater.

These tents were not the tents of wayward travelers who got lost looking for a campground — these were the tents of Harry Potter fans preparing to be the first ones into the theater to see the eighth Harry Potter movie premiere at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

A s h l e y J o n e s a n d S av a n n a h Ha r r i s h av e braved the summer tem-peratures since Tuesday in order to be first in line for the final movie. They have everything necessary to sur-vive several days in a tent.

Several fans stay posi-tioned at key hot spots in the tent to circulate air. Their tent also contains an air mattress, various pieces of inflatable furniture and a television.

“I’m really sad this is the last movie. Harry Potter is coming to an end, and I’ve grown up with it for so long, but Harry Potter will always be there,” Harris said.

This week marks the end of a magical saga that began in 1997 with the publica-tion of a book that captured the imaginations of people around the world.

Tonight at midnight, the final installment of the Harry Potter movie fran-chise will be released in the-aters worldwide, finalizing a relationship with characters a generation of people have grown up with.

Current college students have grown up with Harry Potter and Co. The cast of the franchise is made up of college-aged actors, and members of this mini-gen-eration have seen and grown

up with them from scrawny 11-year-olds to full maturity (oh hey, Emma Watson).

“ T h e c h a r a c t e r s g o through the same stages that you do from 11 to 17 years old,” Jones said “You can re-ally relate to the things they are going through.”

Elementary education senior Kasey Colhmia’s re-lationship with Harry goes back thirteen years to when she began reading Harry Potter as a third-grade

student. She was 11 years old when

the first movie came out in 2001 and has spent the last few years embracing the Harry Potter obsession.

“Growing up with the se-ries really prolonged the excitement. It wasn’t as quick as it would be if you just read them all together,” Kasey said.

So we all have those friends we have a good time with but can’t really trust further than we can throw them, so to speak.

They’re probably a Slytherin.

Not stereotyping Slytherins, but they are very cunning, and even though they aren’t all Death Eaters

(supposedly), they are still fierce enough to make you a little on edge.

So if you have that super confident friend who always has to be the center of attention, ask them if they have any tattoos… that move.

And lastly, the house everyone seems to want to be a part of (I wonder why), Gryffindor.

Gryffindors are loyal, courageous and maybe a little reckless at times, but always for the right reasons.

So if you have that friend you know would defend you in a bar fight at OU-Texas even

if you were out numbered by Longhorns 20-to-2, you know you’ve found yourself a true Gryffindor.

The Sorting Hat ceremony is only one of the most epic elements of your entrance into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It determines not only what kind of person you will become but also the kind of people you will spend the next seven years of your life with. As Draco Malfoy so curtly informed us in the first book, “You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort.”

Somehow I’m not sure Draco was as great a judge of character as he thought he was.

Since, unfortunately, OU does not have a sorting hat of its own, here are some fool-proof signs to look for when determining which house your friends — and, more importantly, yourself — belong in.
