Tuition, fees to increase 4.8%President Boren proposes 2 percent increase in pay for faculty, staffCODY PHILLIPSNews Editor

OU regents increased tuition and fees by 4.8 percent for fiscal year 2015 on Monday at the June regents meeting in Ardmore.

President David Boren cited in-creases of fixed costs and flat funding from the state as major reasons for the tuition and fees increase during his presentation to the regents at the Noble Foundation Conference Center.

“As you know the budget for the university, as the budget for higher education in the state this year was flat, there were not cuts, which was certainly good news, but also there was no increase to cover our fixed costs,” Boren said.

In-state residents will see an in-crease of $5.70 per credit hour, mak-ing it a total cost of $137.60 per credit hour. Non-residents will see an in-crease of $19.50 per credit hour, rising to a total $425.80 per credit hour.

Boren additionally proposed his plans for a 2 percent or a $1,000 minimum pay increase for all school faculty and staff. Boren described the inability to show appreci-ation to the gardeners, carpenters, secretarial staff and

others who maintain the university as a major drawback to the university.

“We call ourselves a family, and we are. We are concerned about each other,” Boren said.

This increase will not be paid for by the increase in tuition and fees but by internal savings.

These increases in non-resident tuition and mandatory fees keep the cost of attending OU lower than Oklahoma

State, which charges $20,026 a year while OU holds at $19,500 a year. The cost of resident tuition and fees at OSU is $7,441 and at OU is $7,341.

Additionally, the OU College of Law will not receive an increase in tuition or fees.

The regents meeting will continue Wednesday when the board decides on whether to name the lower level of the Neustadt Wing of Bizzell Memorial Librar y the “Peggy V. Helmerich Collaborative Learning Center.” This level is being renovated to become an intellectual writing center.

The board will also consider a pro-posal related to the construction and naming of a simulation and education center at the School of Community Medicine at the OU-Tulsa Schusterman

Center. The regents continue to meet this week through

Wednesday.

What better place is there to celebrate the World Cup than South America? Student Matthew Brownlee, who is cur-rently studying abroad in Brazil, has had the opportunity to learn about Brazilian culture as well as join in the festivities. Brownlee left to travel earlier in February and began study-ing at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.

“Being born and raised in Oklahoma, I thought Tulsa was a decent sized city,” said Brownlee in an email. “I stand cor-rected. Rio is a huge city, about 9 million people. So that was the first big thing to get used to. I was lucky enough to live two blocks away from the famous Copacabana beach, so as you can imagine, I frequently visited daily.”

Since arriving in Rio, Brownlee has learned a lot about the social and political structures of the region. In the months preceding the World Cup, there were protests across the country. Citizens protested against the government for fi-nancing the FIFA World Cup instead of medical and edu-cational facilities. Transportation also became an issue, as there were bus drivers on strike who declared that they were not being paid well.

“The inequality in this country is immense,” Brownlee said. “There are so many homeless people in this city right next to extremely wealthy ones. I have learned how to oper-ate in a big city. Like going out at midnight and not coming home until 7 a.m. is normal and can leave you with some crazy stories. Making sure you get the right bus is impera-tive. It’s very easy to end up somewhere where you shouldn’t be. I learned that Rio is no more dangerous than any other big city. Yes, there is crime. I fortunately have never seen any

or been attacked.”As tourists flooded into the country, excitement about the

World Cup became more prominent. Brownlee watched the World Cup at the Copacabana beach, where a FIFA Fan Fest was being held. This event included a large screen, room for about 20,000 people and immense energy and excitement. People could also watch the World Cup on any television screen in the country.

According to Brownlee, another good location to watch the game includes small neighborhood bars called Botecos.

“You sit outside on plastic deck chairs drinking your 6 reais (Brazilian currency) Antartica half liter that you share with all your friends and cheer on your team in comfort,” said Brownlee.

As the second session of Camp Crimson begins, Zac Stevens and his staff prepare to welcome freshmen on campus through the newly added Hi-Rickety week.

Stevens became the coordinator for Camp Crimson in 2005 and has since helped the camp double in size. Each year ,his staff gets larger and more diverse, continu-ously expanding along-side the growing number of incoming freshmen.

The team of leadership at Camp Crimson serves, as the information highway to the students, showing them all they will need to know about University life and how to be a successful Sooner in and out of the classroom. They do this by intentionally forcing the students to interact with other, unfamiliar freshmen to encourage them to step outside their comfort zone.

“Our whole philosophy in the program is to facilitate the beginning of relationships with students so that when they start classes in the fall, they already have their feet on the ground,” Stevens said.

To facilitate this operation it requires volunteers and time. The latter is something Stevens has fully sacrificed for Camp Crimson to make it as beneficial as possible for the incoming freshmen and the OU community. Stevens has had a substantial influence on turning Camp Crimson into what it is today.

“I began with Camp Crimson as a grad student, I just wanted to help out in whatever way they needed me and after working on staff for two years, the director position opened up, and everything fell into place,” Stevens said.

The camp runs Wednesday to Friday of each week, but in the days before, Stevens is responsible for training both the new small-group leaders (SGL) and the orientation guides (OG). The leaders are un-dergrad students who work in groups of three to lead about 20 stu-dents during the week. This small group will help the campers build

friendships Stevens hopes will ex-tend into the following semesters at OU.

Stevens’ staff works full time during the summer doing the behind the scenes activities so Stevens can focus on training the leaders and guides In the trainings, which last an entire week, SGLs and OGs learn leadership skills that will likely benefit them in the classroom and the workplace.

“It doesn’t matter what is needed of them,” Stevens said. “Whether it’s folding T-shirts or painting banners, my crew can do it all, and they do it well.”

Stevens’ responsibility for Camp Crimson does not end when the

campers leave after their last day of camp. He is responsible for hiring new staff and finding qualified small group leaders each year. The hir-ing process starts in the months following camp and continues until the months before camp starts.

Camp Crimson is traditionally open to freshmen, but they also offer a transfer session for transfer students. The cost is $240 for a three-day, two-night stay on campus. It includes meals, a yearbook and T-shirts.

OU offers a scholarship for Camp Crimson so students with finan-cial needs have the opportunity to go to attend.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2014

Youʼll be faced with a fast pace this year, making it important not to take on too much. Leave time to rethink your agenda so that you donʼt wear yourself out. With careful planning, you will have the endurance to get ahead and reach your destination.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you donʼt have a full grasp of what is going on, ask someone who does. Trying to guess your way into or out of a situation will get you nowhere.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you are in search of some information, get at least two points of view. You could lose out on an opportunity if you are too quick to accept the fi rst opinion that comes along.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have great ideas, but you may fi nd your estimates way off target. Before you do any spending, make a realistic outline to determine what your budget can withstand.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your ideas will not go over well with everyone. Be prepared to defend your actions and prove your methods to all opponents. Donʼt hesitate, or you will be questioned.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Travel and learning experiences will go hand-in-hand today. Life-altering changes can be made if you are open to new and untraditional concepts, information and philosophies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --Get serious about your fi nancial situation. You can make the most of your future by building a solid base. Go back to the drawing board and fi nd new ways to bring in more cash.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) --Donʼt use past problems as an excuse for current diffi culties. Whatʼs done is done, so face the facts and deal with whatever is holding you back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --You will have to protect your reputation and your assets. Be wary of someone who tries to take advantage of your good will. Charity begins at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Itʼs a great day to spice up your life. Spend time shopping for something that will make you feel and look good. A little confi dence can go a long way.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Problems with a personal or professional partner will escalate if left to fester. Make the fi rst move by being honest and direct about your feelings or concerns.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Love and romance should highlight your day. You will receive some compelling new information that will help you make an important, life-changing decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Donʼt spend a lot of money on over-the-counter enhancement products. A confi dent air and a pleasing disposition will get you further ahead than anything you can buy.

Instructions:Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. That means that no number is repeated in any row, column or box.

Summer has officially begun, which means the outdoor show and concert sea-son is in full swing. When heading out the door to attend a music show, we tend to get so caught up in the excitement that we often forget thingsand do not realize we’ve left them until it’s too late. So, to keep us from making these mistakes, here’s a list of 10 tips and tidbits to prepare for attending a show.

Look into what kind of show you will be attending. Is it going to be held on a lawn, in a parking lot, on a rooftop or in an indoor or outdoor venue? Plan your outfit based on the concert’s location. Additionally, check the event schedule to find out what time your favorite artist is playing, so you can plan ahead to get the most out of your day.

Once you decide on a concert to attend, keep an eye on the weather on that day — especially if it will be an outdoor show. This way, you will know whether to wear sunscreen or rain boots.

While out and about, drink plen-ty of water. You wouldn’t want to miss out on enjoy-ing the concert due to lack of hydration. Find out if the venue will allow you to bring in outside drinks or if hydration stations available. Camelbacks and clip on water bottles are beneficial for daylong events and prevent you from of misplacing your bottle.

Bring sunscreen and bug spray to protect your skin. Even if it isn’t 90 de-grees and sunny, there still is a chance for sunburn. Now that it’s summer and the bugs are buzzing, you’ll need to avoid bringing home sunburns and bug bites.

Withdraw cash ahead of time. Don’t wait until you get to the event to use the ATM, because there might be an additional fee. Make a pit stop at the corner gas station the morning of or the night before. Also, split up the cash into differ-ent pockets. Place some in your wallet, pant pock-et, shirt pocket and even shoes. Doing so will help prevent you from being pickpocketed.

Festivals and shows entail a lot of walking, so make sure to have a supportive shoe. Closed-toed shoes are preferable for avoiding trash and mud on the ground and preventing injury from people who may step on your feet.

Chances are there will be limited to no seating at outdoor events. Invest in a lawn chair or bring a blanket. It allows for a more relaxing time and your feet will appreciate it.

Venues may not allow big bags into the event. To avoid getting turned away by security due to an overly-large bag, try a fanny pack instead. They may not be the most fashion-able accessory as they bring back nostalgia of ‘90s fashion, but they do the job. Ladies, try a small-er, side-shoulder bag or a larger clutch. There are many different styles to choose from, so there is surely one to fit the occasion.

Check the event’s social media. Follow them on Twitter, like them on Facebook or any other form they have. They will post updates leading up to the event and even on the day of containing information of the even or any type of schedule change.

Before any show, event, festival or concert, check the website or fly-ers for concert guidelines. They should include what you may or may not bring into the venue, any dress code policies and anything else that may be prohibited. This will save you time, money and disappointment.

Here are some ways to prepare yourself and get the best out of your summer show season
