Editor’s Note: Molly Evans previously worked for The Daily as assistant continuous news editor and in various reporter positions.

After casting their ballots, students can watch the elec-tion results as they come in with free food and company at the Election Night Watch Party.

The party, held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Cate Main, will start just before the polls close at 7 p.m., said Madison Hobson, public affairs and administration senior.

OU Housing and Food will provide chips, salsa, cook-ies, punch and other snacks, and the Carl Albert Center and Department of Political Science will provide pizza, Hobson said.

Student Government Association, Carl Albert Center Civic Engagement Fellows, the Graduate Assistants of Political Science, Adams Center and Society of Professional Journalists are all working together to hold the event, Hobson said.

“We all have the same goal to include students,” Hobson said.

Students will be able to watch results on a giant inflat-able screen, said Alyssa Rice, SGA’s external affairs chair.

The Society of Professional Journalists is participating in the event because it seemed like the most fitting for their monthly meeting, said Molly Evans, president of the organization.

“If you’re a journalist for a general newspaper or online news publication, you’re usually covering the elections,” she said, “But for journalism students, a watch party can still at least show them how they are covered, particularly in the broadcast medium.”

A FEW KEY CANDIDATES

JESSE POUNDNews Reporter@jesserpound

While voter registration has de-creased in Oklahoma since 2000, voters who are registering are choosing to register as Republicans at a faster rate than Democrats.

Historically, the percentage of Oklahoma voters registered as Democrats has been much higher than the number of Oklahomans registered as Republicans. In 1960, 82 percent of the 1,019,759 regis-tered voters were Democrats. From 1960 to 2014, the gap between the two parties has gotten increasingly smaller, according to election board statistics.

Despite Republicans having only 1,283 more registered voters than Democrats in Oklahoma County in 2010, Mary Fallin won Oklahoma County by a margin of over 29,000 votes, according to statistics from the Oklahoma Election Board.

These differences held true in the 2012 presidential election year as well, with both Mitt Romney and Senator Tom Cole winning by comfortable margins in Cleveland County, despite more registered Democrats in Oklahoma, accord-ing to statistics from the Oklahoma Election Board.

The drop in total voter regis-tration happened as Oklahoma’s population grows. The state had 3,450,654 residents in 2000 and had an estimated 3,850,568 residents in 2013, according to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Editor’s Note: The data in this article is taken from a beta version of the Oklahoma State Election Board’s voter information request system. As such, there is a slight margin for error in the numbers provided.

Millenials account for less than 10 percent of Cleveland County’s registered voters this year, according to data from the Oklahoma State Election Board.

Only 11,829 people in the age range of 18 to 24 are regis-tered to vote in Cleveland County, making up only 8 percent of the county’s almost 145,000 registered voters, according to the election board’s voter information request system.

will speak at the event, Hobson said. Hertzke will provide insight into politics while Baines will discuss how politics specifically affect education, Hobson said.

Other members of the political science department, such as graduate teaching assistant Sondra Petty, will attend the event as well.

Petty’s main role is to motivate and inform political sci-ence students about the event, she said. She also gets a lot of ideas she can incorporate into her American Federal Government lectures from watching students participate, Petty said.

A Facebook page called OU Votes has been set up to share information about the voting process, and a booth will be set up on the South Oval for sharing information Tuesday, Hobson said.

“Even if you’re not from Oklahoma, the politics here affect you,” Hobson said.

UPDATE

Fatt Hedz calls seizure illegal

BLAYKLEE BUCHANAN/THE DAILY

Fatt Hedz on Campus Corner has been closed after an alleged ille-gal search and seizure of all their merchandise by the Norman Police Department.

PARIS BURRISNews Reporter @ParisBurris

An event that seemingly emptied the shelves of a Fatt Hedz Smoke and Novelty shop located on OU’s campus cor-ner has resulted in accusations of illegal search and seizure and some questioning what really happened.

A video posted on the Fatt Hedz Instagram, @FattHedz420, on Oct. 23 describes the store’s brief recollec-tion of the event:

“Sad day,” the video’s caption said. “Norman sheriff de-cided to do an illegal search and seizure last night. We asked them if anybody said or did anything wrong, he said, ‘No it’s just implied that we sell paraphernalia.’ Took everything. Even broke into our safe. Took all of our ‘for tobacco use only’ signs. Said even our magazines were paraphernalia. Wiped us clean. Wow.”

The video appears to show a pan of the store’s Norman location, offering a view of empty shelves and glass cabinets.

The Cleveland County Sheriff’s office told The Daily they were not involved and had no information to give, but that the Norman Police Department were believed to be inves-tigating the matter.

Tom Easley, a Norman PD spokesman, said the only avail-able information was that there allegedly was an 18-year-old arrested at the scene. Easley said no arrest or incident report was available.

A Norman PD crime log entry shows a “special assign-ment” was conducted at the shop, located at 320 White St.,

Many details still unknown, but store representatives claim no wrongdoing

around 5:40 p.m. No other details were included. A call to a Fatt Hedz representatives at the Oklahoma City

store was not returned.After the incident, a handwritten sign appeared in the

Norman store’s window saying: We have followed all state guidelines. We have done nothing illegal. Norman PD shut us down anyway. Follow us on Instagram @Fatthedz420 until further notice. We will fight to stay open!”

The Daily will continue to investigate this story and en-courages anyone with information to contact us at daily-news@ou.edu.

“It’s a vicious cycle: mil-lennials don’t participate in elections, so lawmakers don’t keep our needs in mind,” SGA president Matt Epting said. “In turn, mil-lennials feel ignored by leg-islators and grow cynical.”

According to the data, which dates from Saturday,

VOTERS: Millenials feel ignored by lawmakersContinued from page 1 the demographic which has

the most registered voters in Cleveland County is the 25-44 demographic, which accounts for 54,067 voters, or 37 percent of all regis-tered voters in the county.

The second-greatest de-mographic is composed of adults between the ages of 45 and 64, with nearly 49,412 registered voters, or about 34 percent of the

voting population.Meanwhile, the senior

citizen demographic (com-posed of people aged 65 and over), accounts for more than double the millennial participation with 29,014 voters, or 20 percent.

“State-level politicians ought to realize that college students will be the ones leading Oklahoma into the future,” Epting said. “We’ll

also be the ones paying their Social Security and Medicare. College students ought to understand that responsibility and realize that our state government needs drastic change.”

“We can absolutely affect government, particularly at local levels, but politicians will ignore us if we stay at home,” he said.

Songs are all about crafting stories and conveying ideas, so it makes sense that some artists would use their art as a politi-cal platform. From protest songs to speaking out on issues at

concerts, musicians have a very colorful history of intermingling their work with social issues. Everyone from The Beatles to The Dixie Chicks have seen themselves as spokespersons for issues facing the nation. And as history will tell, their music has proven itself as an effective po-litical platform.

In honor of this week’s elections, here’s a look at some politically charged performers spreading their messages both locally and nationally:

Drawing from pop, glam rock and new wave music, Chainsaw Kittens were automatically a big part of the local music scene when they formed in Norman in 1989. In fact, SPIN Magazine once described their sound as “The Smiths meet the New York Dolls meet the devil.” And while they eventually abandoned the glam rock aesthetic once it start-ed to overshadow their work, Chainsaw Kittens always in-fused their music and lyrics with powerful political and so-cial issues. Nothing was off-topic for the quartet, which tack-led issues like religion, the Stonewall Riots, murderer Erik Menendez and even Oscar Wilde. Paired with a chainsaw guitar sound and Tyson Meade’s distinct vocals, Chainsaw Kittens made some of the most politically potent rock of the ‘90s.

Choice Moment: Their album “Pop Heiress” is a feast for the senses with various tracks that tackle social and eco-nomic issues. But it’s the cover art that sticks out the most, a purple-tinged photo of Patty Hearst in her gun-toting days with the album’s title sprawled across.

LIFE & ARTS REPORTER

Heavily influenced by the sounds of ‘90s grunge and ‘80s metal, Brother Gruesome is a rock outfit from Oklahoma City known for their eclectic live performances. And even if you’ve never heard their music, it’s easy to see that they’re not your average rock group. Their EP, “Mutually Assured Destruction” features a cover of a transgender man caress-ing his prosthetic limbs, and boasts songs with titles like “Needles” and “Ex Oh Ex.” Obviously there’s a lot of pent-up emotion in there. With surprisingly insightful lyrics and a sound similar to Portishead meets Nine Inch Nails, Brother Gruesome is the thinking person’s rock band.

Choice Moment: “More Celebrities” is an angry rock rant filled with anti-pop culture lyrics like “What this city needs is more celebrities; they make you believe if you’re on TV then you’re gonna be happy.”

Lead singer Wayne Coyne may now be better known as Miley Cyrus’ musical mentor (a pop culture ‘odd couple’ if there ever was one), but his group The Flaming Lips is also Oklahoma’s most famous musical export. After forming in Oklahoma City in 1983, the group rose to prominence in the ‘90s with their unapologetically weird music and lyrics, a combination of psychedelic pop and alternative rock. But lately, the band has become a sort of political melting pot both on- and offstage. Coyne is friends with Mary Fallin’s controversial daughter Christina Fallin, is a vocal supporter of Barack Obama and continues to criticize George W. Bush at live performances.

Choice Moment: “A War With The Mystics” is labeled by many as the group’s most political album to date, touching on frothy pop stars, superficial thinkers and the abuse of power. “The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song” asks listeners what they would do with all of the power in the world with lyrics like “If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich, would you do it?”

OUR VIEW

Vote today: it only takes 17 minutesOur View: We implore students to do their civic duty and vote in today’s elections to help elect the politicians they want to see lead Oklahoma.

Voting in Oklahoma takes about 17 minutes, ac-cording to a study conducted by the Government Accountability Office during the 2012 election. Seventeen minutes is less time than it takes to watch one episode of the average TV show on Netflix, and it will do you and your country a lot more good than watching “Gilmore Girls” for the fifth time, as much fun as that may be.

We urge our fellow Sooners to take those 17 min-utes today to cast a ballot in Oklahoma’s elections. We endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joe Dorman on Monday, but regardless of whom you vote for, we encourage you to make your voice count by exercising your right to vote.

We understand thousands of OU students hail from outside of Oklahoma, and we hope you will vote absentee. Out-of-state voters have at least one ballot left to cast in OU’s upcoming Student Government Association elections. Oklahoman students have two ballots to cast, the first of which is tomorrow’s gen-eral election.

Registered Cleveland County voters can locate their polling lo-cations at services.okelections.us/voterSearch.aspx.

Oklahoma voters will cast their ballots for several critical governmental positions today, including governor, two U.S. Senate seats, lieutenant governor and superintendent of public instruction. The outcomes of Tuesday’s elections will affect Oklahoma at both the state and national level, and we believe taking the time to vote is an

essential duty for all Americans.Oklahoma voters must present approved proof

of identity at polling locations Tuesday, which includes documents granted by the U.S. govern-ment, state government or a tribal government.

So get your IDs and head to the polls. Also, today’s elections are especially important for Oklahomans because it will determine the state’s

leadership in both the governor’s office and the U.S. Senate.

Oklahoma students should pay special attention to today’s elections because their voices could help elect candidates with students’ needs in mind. As we explained Monday, gubernatorial candidate Joe

Dorman’s platform is focused on education reform, which would likely benefit OU students who’ve suf-fered from consistent cuts to state funding for high-er education in recent years.

Most importantly, we believe voting Sooners should do their due diligence and research all can-didates up for election. Don’t rely on sound bites or attack ads for your political information. Tack on a few extra minutes to the 17 it takes to vote and research Oklahoma’s candidates before heading to the ballot box.

TUESDAY, November 4, 2014

A new beginning and a bright future are within your reach. Weigh the pros and cons of some advice offered to you, and make your choices based on what works for you. Good planning, dedication and determination will be what help you move ahead, not following what others do and say.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Busi-ness prospects are forecasted. Show your superiors how dedicated and responsible you are. Your excellent work habits will allow you to negoti-ate a healthy career change.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Donʼt enter into fi nancial deals with fast-talking salespeople. Consider their motives and credibility before you part with your cash or commit to anything.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Donʼt take a loved one for granted. Spend time nurturing and appreciating your most important relationships. Work and outside pressures can take a toll on your personal life and domestic situation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Consider talking to a life coach or professional career counselor. A career change will take place if you head in a direction that makes better use of your skills. Evaluate your strengths and proceed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Look for a new challenge. Someone who shares your interests will motivate you to forge ahead with a dream. Check out local facilities for interest-ing courses or seminars.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Think before you act. Becoming involved with someone who has different values and beliefs may seem exciting and exotic, but serious ramifi cations are likely to develop.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Open up the lines of communication with someone you are having a problem seeing eye-to-eye with. Donʼt make assumptions. Have an honest and meaningful discussion about your concerns.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You deserve a special treat. A new look or outfi t will boost your morale and increase your self-esteem. If you stay within your budget, it will add to your delight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your home will experience an unexpected transformation. Focus on being fl exible. Share your thoughts, but do so with diplomacy, well-thought-out suggestions and a foolproof plan.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Love is in the air. Socializing will brighten your day and bring you closer to someone special. Your quick wit and intellect will result in interesting offers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Check out the real estate market. Whether you rent or own, a move will be a pick-me-up. A career change is possible if you are willing to make a few adjustments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will have trouble making up your mind. Rather than taking action in the spur of the moment, be patient and allow yourself enough time to consider the negatives and positives.

CHRISTOPHER MICHIE/THE DAILY

Senior Abby Hodgen fends off a Jayhawk during the Halloween game against Kansas at John Crain Field. The Sooners defeated No. 14 ranked Kansas 1-0.

BRADY VARDEMANSports Reporter @BradyVardeman

The air around John Crain Field in Norman was electric Monday.

After Oklahoma soccer’s Friday night upset of No. 14 Kansas, the team returns to action Wednesday against the same Jayhawks in Kansas City.

But this t ime around, the Big 12 Championship is on the line.

When asked about facing the same op-ponent again just days after beating them, Sooner coach Matt Potter said the team was excited to be playing in the postseason.

“It can be a blessing and a curse,” he said. “Obviously there’s no surprises but you know what to look out for. At this time of year, whether it be your conference tour-nament or the [NCAA Championship], it’s always good to still have that opportunity to play.”

The squad was on a four-game skid just a week ago. After the senior night win over Kansas, there is a renewed energy around the soccer complex.

“We just had a great practice,” senior mid-fielder Abby Hodgen said Monday. “Everyone was so com-petitive and ready to get to Kansas [City] and play.”

Potter said the team is having no problem motivating itself this week.

“At this time, you don’t have to worry about motivating too many people,” he said. “We have an opportunity not afforded to every team.”

As if the team needed anymore excitement, junior transfer

defender Laura Rayfield and freshman midfielder Lizzie Luallin were named to the Big 12 All-Newcomer team Monday.

In an improved defensive showing against Kansas, Rayfield said the team got back to basics.

“It was a really physical game Friday, so we’re expecting that to come back,” she said. “We’re going to have to play on our toes and play as well as we did Friday, if not better.”

Potter said he has seen improve-ment across the board as the season has progressed.

“I think one of the habits that has defined us all year is our ability to defend as a group,” he said. “Our possession has improved, no question. As we’ve seen, when we get in front of the goal, we can take chances.”

In 2013, Oklahoma finished with one win in the Big 12, dead last in the standings, and failed to make the conference tournament. This year, Potter’s squad nabbed the No. 6 seed behind three conference wins, includ-ing two over ranked opponents.

“The credit goes to the players that have come before this group,” Potter said. “This year’s group has capitalized on that foun-dation and shown we can compete with the best.

If the Sooners manage to defeat Kansas in the first round Wednesday, they will re-turn to action against the winner of No. 2 Oklahoma State/No. 7 Baylor.

Should Potter’s squad win their second game, the final round of the Big 12 Championship will be played Sunday.

“The University of Oklahoma and the traditions of the [athletic] department are about competing on the biggest stages and we’re hoping to play our part and continue to do that,” Potter said.

Our possession has improved, no question. As we’ve

seen, when we get in front of the goal, we can take

chances..”MATT POTTER,
