festival attendance increases despite storms
ARIANNA PICKARDCampus Editor
Even with a thunderstorm driving many attendees indoors Friday, the Norman Music Festival drew in over 5,000 more at-tendees than last year and brought in over $1 million to the city of Norman.
Over 60,000 people attended the sixth an-nual Norman Music Festival on Thursday
through Saturday in downtown Norman, which was a significant increase from the estimated 55,000 attendees last year, said Stefanie Brickman, member of the Norman Music Festival publicity committee.
This year was also different from past years because of the significant increase in attendance on Thursday and Friday, even though the rain pushed many attendees in-doors on Friday, Brickman said.
The Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates the amount of money the festival helps bring into the city each year by
considering the resources visitors use when they travel from other cities to attend the event, Brickman said.
“When people come to Norman for the festival, they’re going to be eating, they’re going to be gassing up their cars…” Brickman said.
The attendance at the festival grows and the quality of the event improves every year because of the increasing community sup-port and involvement, Brickman said.
“This is truly a Norman effort,” she said.More than 100 people from the Norman
community and surrounding areas volun-teered to help with the event this year, she said. Volunteers do a little bit of everything, from handing out water bottles and set-ting up stages to aiding the bands on stage, cleaning up the streets and moving bicycle racks.
Despite the high attendance this year, only one attendee was arrested throughout the three-day festival, Brickman said.
“Which is amazing, considering over

OU student organizes historical tour of east Oklahoma
MAX JANERKA Campus Reporter
An OU doctoral student has helped organize a historic tour of eastern Oklahoma to tell the story of the events in the early 20th century that formed the political views of Woody Guthrie and other civil rights protesters of the time.
The tour will take place July 7 to July 14 and will be cen-tered around the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okemah, Okla., said Rachel Jackson, English composition rhetoric
and literature doctoral student. She teamed up with Global Exchange, an international human rights organization, to organize the tour.
Woody Guthrie was a famous, or perhaps infamous, folk singer who penned “This Land is Your Land” as a protest song, Jackson said. He was a civil rights activist and argued on behalf of the poor and working class.
Guthrie’s popularity in his native state of Oklahoma has surged in recent years, with his 100th birthday celebration last year and the transportation of the Woody Guthrie ar-chives from New York to Tulsa this year, Jackson said.
Members of Global Exchange decided to center a tour on him to show how Oklahoma influenced Guthrie to become
an activist, she said.This is the first Global Exchange tour to take place in
Oklahoma, tour coordinator Jenny White said.Global Exchange’s organizing director had an internship
working with Native American tribes in Oklahoma as a stu-dent, and when she heard that White was from Oklahoma, the director suggested they consider a tour in the state, White said.
This tour was planned in collaboration with Jackson, who planned out the itinerary, she said.
“I heard Rachel getting interviewed on KPFA, which is part of Pacifica, a progressive radio station, and I thought

An OU doctoral student recently helped to organize a historic tour of Woodie Guthrie this summer of his landmarks and other historic protesters in Oklahoma.
wow, this woman really knows her stuff,” she said.
Jackson also has coordi-nated with academic ex-perts to lead the tour in sev-eral places, and Jackson will follow the tour part of the way as well, she said.
People from out of state should be interested in this tour too, because Oklahoma has a very interesting early history, White said.
Oklahoma, along with parts of California, has a history of people migrat-ing during times like the Dust Bowl and World War II, she said. While many of these people were radicals for their time, their descen-dants have become very conservative, striking an in-teresting contrast.
Participants wil l visit towns around Guthrie’s hometown of Okemah that capture Oklahoma’s early cultural makeup, Jackson said.
O n e o f t h e s e t o w n s i s a n a l l - b l a c k
community established before Oklahoma gained statehood, she said. After the Civil War, many blacks fled to Oklahoma to escape Jim Crow laws, which did not apply in the territories.
Participants also will visit the John Hope Franklin
Reconciliation Center in Tulsa to learn about the 1 9 2 1 Tu l s a R a c e R i o t s, Jackson said.
Not many people under-stand Oklahoma’s full his-tory, she said.
“Stereotypes always leave out the full picture,” she
said. “This tour is about connecting the dots be-tween Woody Guthrie and Oklahoma’s history.”
60,000 people were there,” she said. “[Norman Police Lt. Jason Callaghan] was very excited to share that statistic.”
The organizers are able to bring in more famous bands as the event grows each year, but this year they were proud to headline the event with JD McPherson from Tulsa, Brickman said.
“So that was kind of fun
— I’m sure for everybody — to have literally a home-grown band headlining the music festival,” she said.
More than 300 bands rep-resenting a wide variety of music genres performed at 20 different locations at the festival this year, she said.
“I think that no matter what your genre is, what your taste is in music is, you were going to find a band that would fit you,” she said. “You might be listening to one and then walk over to
another.”Because there were so
many stages, it was difficult for Brickman to say which band attracted the largest audience, but some of the Saturday night performers probably brought in some of the biggest crowds, she said.
F e s t i v a l g o e r s a r e n ’ t charged to attend the event because of the amount of community support and corporate sponsors, as well as some grants from dif-ferent art organizations,
Brickman said.“I think everybody who’s
involved loves the unique aspect of it being a free festi-val, and making art available to everybody,” she said.
Norman Music Festival organizers don’t take a break once the event is over — they begin planning next year’s festival the day after it’s over, Brickman said.
“We look at what worked, what didn’t work and what we can do better,” she said. “So the planning is 365 days.”

Tulsa wants to try 2024 summer Olympic rings on for size
Buoyed by its success hosting a major fi shing tournament this winter, oklahoma’s second-largest city is now dreaming of something faster, higher, stronger: the 2024 summer olympics.
local offi cials acknowledge the idea is a bit far-fetched, but Tulsa was among several small cities that received letters from the u.s. olympic committee asking whether they might be interested in hosting the games.
“some people think of Tulsa as a fl yover, dust Bowl town,” said neil mavis, a member of the Tulsa 2024 olympic exploratory committee. “many people think of cowboys and indians. ... Bidding for the olympics is the one way to change those stereotypes.”

Students raised awareness about a blood condition on campus Saturday to encourage people to get tested so they can know how to treat it.
OU’s chapter of Delta Sigma Theta held its 40th Shake it Well for Sickle Cell event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday on the Nieman Field to raise awareness for sickle cell anemia.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited, lifelong disease, which causes a per-son’s red blood cells to be shaped like a crescent, as opposed to normal, disc-shaped red blood cells, accord-ing to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s website. The disease can cause people to have long-term pain or fatigue if left untreated.
“We just want people to know that [sickle cell anemia] is out there, and if you check it early, there are ways to deal with it,” said Jessica Turner, Delta Sigma Theta president and social work senior.
Sickle cell anemia testing was not available at the event, but members of the sorority did have information about where to be tested, said Kyra Clark, chairwoman of the event and industrial engineer senior.

singing yields scholarships

heather hollabaugh, a communication senior, screams in excitement as she receives the first place award for the 2013 sooner idol con-test on saturday in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Meacham auditorium.
MATT RAVISCampus Reporter
OU communication senior Heather Hollabaugh was named this year’s Sooner Idol on Saturday after her per-formances of The White Stripes’ “7 Nation Army” and Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” made the judges praise her creativity and stage presence.
Sooner Idol, OU’s version of the na-tional singing competition American Idol, took place at 7 p.m. Saturday in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Meacham Auditorium. The competi-tion was judged by OU dance professor Derrick Minter, Mr. OU and business
senior David Postic and LaVonya Bennett, Cate Center coordinator for OU Housing and Food Services Residence Life.
Hollabaugh was accompanied by a guitar and drums for her rendition of “7 Nation Army.” For the second round of the competition, she performed “Crazy,” which was enough to convince the judges to declare her the winner of the competition and award her a $500 scholarship.
After the first round, business se-nior Craig Van Horn was chosen as the Crowd Favorite and awarded a $200 scholarship.
Next, judges deliberated and chose three contestants for round two, after which a winner and runner-up were declared. University College
freshman Grace Montie was chosen as the runner-up and awarded a $300 scholarship.
Minter, Postic and Bennett judged participants based on their “vocal skills, stage presence and ability to woo the crowd,” said emcee of the event Clarke Stroud, vice president for OU Student Affairs and dean of students.
More than 100 contestants showed up to tryouts on March 26, and only 10 of them were chosen for the competi-tion on Saturday, Stroud said.
The competition began with a dance performance of pop artist Beyonce Knowles’ “End of Time” featuring all 10 contestants. In the first and second rounds, contestants were allowed to choose their own songs.

Our view: Are you looking for real-world experience in reporting, editing, photographing, advertising or writing without the nine to five commitment? Want to be on the fast track for leadership positions? OU Student Media is hiring for the fall 2013 semester and can promise all of this and more to both traditional and untraditional students, even those with no prior media experience.
AdvertisingIn fall 2011, Student Media’s advertising de-
partment generated over $848,000 in revenue. Advertising funds the bulk of Sooner Yearbook and The Daily’s operations — only 15 percent of Student Media’s fall 2011 revenue came from student activity fees and 3 percent came from President David Boren. Because the ads the department sells determine The Daily’s paper size and publication dates, it’s an important and necessary job. Advertising employees work directly with clients to design effective messages and prepare ads for publi-cation for a readership of more than 30,000 students, faculty and staff.
FeaturesThe features department
caters to students inter-ested in writing, editing and photography, but not necessarily hard news. The features department pro-duces Sooner Yearbook, its flagship publication that regularly is named one of the top collegiate yearbooks in the country. It also produces Sower, a magazine that acquaints incoming freshman and their families with OU and college living. Additionally, the features de-partment writes, edits and designs special publi-cations, including a Norman apartment and home hunt guide and a winter gift buying guide.

dependent newspaper and website that employs reporters, editors, photographers, videographers, designers, web editors and columnists. Whether you’re interested in covering blogs and music
festivals for the Life & Arts section, speaking with politicians and the OU administration for campus news stories or interviewing student athletes and

Universal back-ground checks are dead and
gone. Yes, for the first time in a long time, reason has triumphed over insani-ty. So how did a proposal more than 80 percent of Americans support get shot down?
Was it the evil gun lobby with all their money? Was it those backward republicans? Though there is no one reason the measure failed, the legislation was a reaction to the Newtown shooting five months ago — support for the legislation faded as time passed.
I’ve heard a lot of debate from both sides on the universal background check issue, both in news media and in per-son, but I’ve not heard much from the perspective of those who sell guns without background checks. Hopefully, I will be able to provide that perspective in this article.
For those who aren’t very knowledgeable about the legal firearms market, things got a little crazy after Newtown. Many weapons categorized as “assault weapons,” such as AR-15s and AK-47s saw prices skyrocket due to increased demand. Being a gun owner and a business student, I only did what was natural — find guns at pre-panic prices and sell them legally at a markup.
Now when it comes to emotional arguments, “think of the children” tends to beat “think of the money” every
time. If you watched any liberal news outlet, you’d think selling guns without a background check was like selling crack to school-aged children.
The scare surrounding legal gun sales without back-ground checks is entirely unwarranted. At the core of the issue, guns are personal property, and laws restricting the sale of private property are unnecessary.
Mandating universal background checks would effec-tively turn private gun sales into a miniature Department of Motor Vehicles. Federal Firearm License holders are the only people who have access to background check data-bases, meaning a wait in line for any party wanting to buy or sell a firearm.
This would be especially burdensome for rural residents who are more likely to be in the market for firearms and may not live close to a license holder. This also becomes a problem when guns are inherited or given as gifts.
Of course, most people don’t have to deal with these is-sues, so they don’t care. For some reason, it is seen as inhu-man or selfish to oppose universal background checks, as if I favor convenience over the lives of children. I would argue it is selfish to force uninformed restrictive laws on people so you can pretend you are doing something good.
People who want guns are going to get them regardless of the law, it’s old technology and it isn’t going away. Stop living your life in fear, and if you absolutely need to protect yourself, just buy a gun. It’s still just as easy as ever.

I write as a Catholic Christian in response to Sarah Sullivan and Trent Cason’s April 26 columns. I mention my faith since Cason says more Christians should stand against evil done by Christians or be lumped in with fa-natics, and to give an idea of my theological background.
Cason states that not enough Christians vocally oppose atrocities committed by a few. He states that Christians need to vocally oppose such actions or be lumped in with fanatics. I’m not sure how few Christians Cason speaks to, but Christians vehemently oppose such actions, be it pedophilia or child abuse. For example, the current and previous pope, as well as all Catholics, was horri-fied by the abuse scandal and has spoken loudly against it. Furthermore, most Americans are Christian and the Schaible case appalls them, we speak out against these acts. I’m unclear why Cason felt we should be told to do what was already being done. Finally, he says Americans don’t care what fanatical group a Muslim bomber be-longs to. Educated Americans, at least individually, know bombers are fanatics and don’t represent Islam. We care what sect they belong to and what cleric they listen to. I would also note that if, as Cason implies, the actions of a few “taint the whole brand,” then there is no group on earth that isn’t tainted, from Americans, to Georgians, Atheists to Hindus. If you base judgment on the worst of a group, then you condemn humanity.
Sullivan fails to account for nuances of scripture. Leviticus 19 is actually a reasonable chapter, including gems like, “When an alien resides with you in your land, do not molest him,” and, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Sullivan picks fairly unimportant passag-es from that chapter, making a weak argument. Also, “Testament” refers to the pact between man and God, as such the New Testament lifts or extends some Old Testament laws. Important examples are marriage, where the law is made “more perfect” and divorce is, as Sullivan notes, condemned, and expressly stated as between man and woman. Another adjustment occurs with the lifting of food restrictions in Acts of the Apostles. Note that God gave the Old Testament to the Israelites, whereas He gave the New Testament to all mankind. The Old Testament isn’t voided but complete explanation requires a book.
In sum, both columnists set up straw man arguments attacking Christianity. However, they do make good points. For example, Christians shouldn’t reject science. Truth is truth, regardless of origin. The law should pro-tect children, who, as Cason points out, “(are) not your property to do with as you will.” As Sullivan points out, Christians have a tendency of being cafeteria with their beliefs, which is inconsistent, although Jesus said he came to save sinners, so churches don’t expect perfect members. Unfortunately, while good points were made, those points drown in what seem like attacks on the gen-eral Christian institution.

Column attacked general Christian beliefs, not radicals
I would like to reply to Sarah Sullivan’s article of April 25, 2013: “The laws of the Bible…”
To focus the argument, consider only the issue of gay marriage. On the grounds that all citizens deserve the same rights, it is unquestionable that gay couples should be allowed to marry in order to receive the same privi-leges of married straight couples.
Therefore the only relevant question is whether they may be denied these rights — either due to a religious majority, which opposes them, or arguments such as “redefinition of marriage”.
Plainly, arguments of the latter kind are mere distrac-tions; perhaps they are reasonable arguments for civil unions, but no matter. The former, however, consti-tutes the only dispute which is relevant to lawmakers. Specifically, they must decide whether their obligation to promote and enforce the rights of citizens trumps their inclination to yield to a majority view.
I think you can detect, by my very phrasing, what my opinion is. However, I don’t make law, and neither do the Christians which Ms. Sullivan accuses of being hypocritical. What possible utility, then, does her arti-cle provide? If she hopes to convince Christians to relax their views, I think her tone of unsubtle mockery will serve the opposite purpose; if she hopes to stimulate re-sponsible law which promotes rights and justice, she is simply missing the target.
What must be affirmed is a commitment to equal rights, which is the moral and, more to the point, the legal core of support for gay marriage.

The No. 14 OU men’s ten-nis team repeated as the Big 12 Tournament champions after exacting revenge on the No. 13 Baylor on Sunday in Norman.
Wi t h t h e w i n a ga i n s t Baylor, OU claimed its sec-ond title under coach John Roddick and now will host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Championship in two weeks.
The Sooners (19-6, 6-1 Big 12) knocked off No. 19 Texas, 4-1, in the semi finals on Saturday for a rematch against the Bears (20-5, 6-1 Big 12). Baylor beat OU in Waco earlier this year, 6-1.
“It’s hard,” Roddick said. “The first time was hard, the second time, harder. It’s a challenge every year and to start being in the mix every time to win the champion-ship — this is our third final in a row — and it’s just good because we’re consistent.
“Our expectation from the players is starting to really show and the confi-dence in those matches is starting to show.”
OU may be on a four-match winning-streak, but after the Bedlam win last Sunday, Roddick said there was a lot of work to do if the team wanted to win a Big 12 title. That work paid off.
“Our attitude got a lot better in the last week and a half and the competitive spirit of the guys really start-ed coming and I think that’s
what really changed it,” he said.
Junior Guillermo Alcorta, who won Big 12 player of the tournament, thought the week of practice defi-nitely made a difference, especially after losing to the Bears earlier this season.
“Once we lost to them, it tasted awful — the loss — so we decided we were going to practice tough all this week and we were all very excited about this win, so I think we deserve it,” Alcorta said.
The doubles point came down to court No. 3 after the Sooners lost on court No. 1 and won on court No. 2. The match went to a tie-break and sophomore Nick Papac and senior Lawrence Formentera were down 5-1, but rallied back to win the match and clinch the dou-bles point.
“[The doubles point] was huge,” Alcorta said. “Once we won that, we went to the locker room and said ‘now we gotta kill them.’ We knew they were nervous and stuff.

OU defeats Baylor in final for second straight season

Sophomore Dane Webb returns a deep shot during a singles match against Texas freshman Nick Naumann on Saturday at Headington Family Tennis Center in Norman. Webb went on to win, 6-4, 6-4, and OU won the match, 4-1, to advance to the championship finals.
It was great and we per-formed perfect.”
The momentum shifted a bit when OU dropped two singles matches on courts No. 5 and 1, but the Sooners charged back with a run of their own and took a 3-2 lead with two matches left.
Freshman Axel Alvarez Llamas clinched the cham-pionship for the Sooners when he beat Baylor fresh-man Julian Lenz in straight sets, 7-6(8), 6-3.
“ I w a s s o n e r v o u s a t the end, right now I can’t
breathe,” Alvarez Llamas said. “So happy, so happy for the team and the effort every player on the team put forth in practice and here we are now with the trophy.”
Alvarez Llamas said he was looking forward to this moment and was surprised by its intensity.
“ I t ’s u n b e l i e v a b l e , I didn’t know it was going to be like this,” he said. “I saw
the pictures of last year, of the guys winning the Big 12 [Championship], but I didn’t know it was going to be so fun. I don’t have words to describe it.”
T h e S o o n e r s s h i f t their focus to the NCAA C h a m p i o n s h i p — w i t h Sunday’s successful title de-fense — the team will host the first and second rounds of regionals in two weeks.
“Once we lost to [Baylor], it tasted awful — the loss — so we decided we were going to practice tough all this week, and we were
all very excited about this win, so I think we deserve it.”

The Joy Formidable performs Saturday at Norman Music Festival’s Main Stage, entertaining the audience with an energetic perfor-mance, smoke and lasers.

The crowd steadily grew as it came close to time for The Joy Formidable to rock the Main Stage on Saturday a t t h e N o r m a n M u s i c Festival. Festival organiz-ers threw red, blue and or-ange beach balls at the concertgoers, raising the energy level as innocent by-standers dodged the flying projectiles.
The band was s che d-uled to play at 9:30 p.m., but didn’t actually come on until around 9:45 p.m. Finally, the intro music b e g a n a n d t h e b a n d emerged from backstage, only to return after encoun-tering what seemed to be some difficulties with the sound system.
About two minutes later, the Welsh band began once more, and the audience started to cheer and shout as if the band’s first appear-ance hadn’t been somewhat of a letdown.
Smoke and lasers cloud-ed the open night sky as The Joy Formidable opened with “Cholla,” a song from its new album “Wolf’s Law.” A giant video screen behind the band depicted desert scenes and even clips from a black and white movie throughout the concert.

The Joy Formidable puts on ‘stellar’ performanceWelsh band thrills crowd with old hits and new songs
Jordan Moody, nutrition-al science junior, described the scene accurately.
“There was lots of smoke
a n d l a s e r s a n d b a l l s ,” Moody said. “There were balls everywhere.”
Enthusiastic members of
the crowd danced wildly, especially when the band played such hits as “Cradle” from its 2011 album “The Big Roar.”
Of course, the band made sure to promote songs from its newest album, playing “This Ladder Is Ours” and “Silent Treatment,” which are both on “Wolf’s Law.”
Lead singer and guitar-ist Rhiannon “Ritzy” Bryan had an unmistakable cha-risma as she charmed the crowd with her Welsh ac-cent and Cookie Monster hat.
“Why haven’t we come to Oklahoma before?” Bryan sa i d , a nd the aud i e nc e cheered in agreement.
Kayla Blood, multidisci-plinary studies sophomore, said she had never heard of the band before, but was glad she attended the show.
“I thought it was very en-tertaining,” Blood said. “I’d go with ‘stellar’ if I could pick a word.”
Despite the dropping outdoor temperature, the c ro w d d i d n o t s e e m t o lose its fervor as The Joy Formidable helped close the last night of Norman Music Festival with heavy drum beats and the flash of lasers in the clear evening sky.
