The OU Law School will use a $1 million grant from the Chickasaw Nation to estab-lish a chair position that should attract lead-ing Native American Law scholars.

The school received the money to cre-ate the Chickasaw Nation Native American Law chair in October, according to the press release.

Because the chair position is endowed with $1 million, it will allow for research opportunities and advancement in the field, thus drawing in many professors to apply for the position, said Casey Delaney, the College of Law’s assistant dean of aca-demic affairs at OU College of Law.

The professor that receives the chair will become a permanent faculty mem-ber, Delaney said.

This endowment is the first of its kind in the country and will help students be-come specialized in Native American law, Delaney said.

Mixed reviews for Campus Corner’s “smart” meters

SAM HIGGINSCampus Reporter

After three months of the new “smart” parking meters outside Campus Corner businesses, business owners and parking enforcement officers are still finding kinks in the system.

Parking enforcement officer Omar Twitty said he has had some trouble with the park-ing meters because of an 18-second delay between when a car leaves and when the meter resets.

Occasionally, a vehicle will immediate-ly take the spot of another vehicle that has pulled out, and the meter will still have time on it. If a person looks at the meter before the 18 seconds have elapsed, some think there is still time left on the meter, resulting in a ticket.

This is one of the biggest problems parking enforce-ment has had, occurring at least once a day, Twitty said.

N o r m a n P o l i c e Department public infor-mation officer Captain Tom Easley said Twitty can only prevent customers from using other drivers’ time on the meters if he sees them walking away without feeding the meter after it resets.

“If Omar is kindhearted and believes them, he will allow them to put money into the meter and allow them to go on their way,” Easley said.

City of Norman traffic engineer David Riesland said he knew about the delay when the meters were first installed, but he didn’t know it was still a problem. When he was told about the ongoing issue of ve-hicles being ticketed due to the delay, he

said he would bring it to the manufactur-er’s attention.

“It’s been kind of a growing process. A lot of growing pains along the way,” Riesland said. “The sensors haven’t worked the way we thought they would work. Apparently, this is yet another issue with how they operate.”

The “smart” meters, which can be paid with credit and debit cards as well as coins, were installed over the summer, according to the City of Norman website.

With the new meters came a parking price increase to $1 per hour and a 2-hour parking time limit, which has sparked con-cern from some Campus Corner business owners.

Joe Gil, who has owned and operated Joe’s Taverna for the past 20 years at 435

Buchanan Ave., feels the new meters will drive away business, literally, because customers can only stay parked at a meter for two hours. Once that time is up, customers must move their cars or cut their trip short.

“That’s not reasonable. People come here to shop and eat, and they have to move their car. That’s not right,” Gil said.

Gil also took issue with the price increase.

“Why do you have to raise it to $1 an hour and then $2 for the second hour? I don’t understand, because there’s no need to charge that kind of money,” Gil said.

While Gil thinks the meters will take away his business, some Campus Corner merchants have embraced the new meters.

defended the installation of the new meters.Stewart said the rates on the existing meters were going

to rise anyway, and the new meters are more convenient for the consumer.

“The goal of a parking meter is to always have a number of free spaces available,” Stewart said. “So there is a certain percentage of in and out and in and out all the time.”

Despite the issues, Stewart believes the meters have been working well and are doing their job to get people in and out of parking spots.

Stewart said the number one consumer of parking spac-es, from his observations and from a study the city con-ducted, were employees and students going to class, both of which would routinely plug the meters.

“So far, they have been working absolutely wonderfully.

Most everybody I’ve talked to has been able to find a park-ing space very easily without having to loop the corner two or three times,” Stewart said.

Stewart did admit, however, that there have been a few drawbacks.

“We’ve run into a few situations where two hours has not been long enough for them to eat and shop when they want to come down here and shop,” Stewart said.

Our View: Entrance security needs to be equally established in on-campus residences.

Our university does a good job of protecting its students from harm. We receive text messages in the event there is an intruder breaching campus’s bor-ders, there are emergency stations lit up in blue all over campus and the OU police promptly respond to emergency calls.

We appreciate the security precautions es-tablished on campus, but there’s a discrep-ancy between Headington’s security and the other housing security on campus that needs to be addressed.

When a student who doesn’t reside in Headington arrives, she or he has to wait for a Headington resident to enter or exit so she or he can have a door opened. After gaining entrance, that student has to sign in at the front desk, providing her or his name, OU ID, the Headington hall resident she or he is meeting, room number and the time she or he is signing in.

Talk about strict regulation.We aren’t knocking the security measures — it’s

good OU wants its residents to be safe. But what

about the other on-campus residents who live in the towers or Cate? They don’t have the same safety pre-cautions welcoming them home, and that’s not fair. OU needs to implement that level of security in all on-campus living facilities, or at the very least, ease up on student access to Headington’s lobby.

Students should have swipe card access to all housing establishments. If the other housing facili-

ties on campus allow Headington residents to access the main lobbies, all students should have access to Headington.

Having a noticeable difference in entry precautions among residences offers a sense of exclusiveness at Headington. Headington is part of OU’s campus — stu-dents shouldn’t feel like they don’t belong

there or are unwelcome.We know Headington is new. But when are our

campus’ other living quarters going to be renovated, and when is the security at the other dorms going to be enhanced? We’d like to see Headington’s securi-ty measures dispersed across campus. The system needs to be balanced — all students deserve equal treatment. Comment on this at OUDaily.com

US citizens should be told the extent of government snooping

The U.S. may be the only nation in the world whose high

court asks for the protec-tion of God before deciding whether prayers spoken at the beginning of town coun-cil meetings are constitution-al. Should the Supreme Court uphold their legality? If one desires a government that is less divisive, the answer is a resounding no.

Two residents of Greece, N.Y., have challenged their town council’s policy of holding prayers before each meeting. It wasn’t until these residents, Susan Galloway and Linda Stephens, filed suit in 2008 that the town coun-cil allowed non-Christian prayers to be held.

Over the course of a year, the council allowed four of 12 meetings to be opened with prayers from non-Christians. Those who led these prayers included a Wiccan priestess, a Baha’i leader and a Jewish layman. However, this plu-ralism ended in 2009 when Greece’s town council went back to all-Christian prayers.

These prayers only con-taminate the legislative pro-cess. If we want a govern-ment that will consider po-tential policies solely on their merits, injecting religion into the legislative process will not help.

Should human nature be suspended, we can expect town council members to re-view each citizen’s proposal without a shade of partiality. But if we consider the biases harbored by every individ-ual, we can safely assume that an attendee’s failure to pray would expose them to the prejudices of town coun-cil members. Additionally, a refusal to pray may cause non-Christian members of the town council to look more favorably upon that at-tendee and their proposal.

Ever since Edward Snowden leaked secre-

tive information about the National Security Agency’s espionage prac-tices, the world has been flooded with debates concerning both interna-tional and domestic pri-vacy issues.

While the president and NSA agents have spent time attempt-ing to console foreign allies and coming to terms about spying practices, too lit-tle focus has been given to Americans’ privacy.

It seems the government is more wor-ried about establishing trust with foreign allies than its own people. We do need our allies to trust us, and we certainly don’t want them turning on us because of these recent issues. But the safety and assurance of U.S. citizens should be a higher priority.

Granted, because people have a ten-dency to panic before they are proper-ly informed, many citizens who have skewed views of how the NSA has been operating are now concerned about their privacy in regards to the government’s surveillance program.

To be clear, the NSA tracks records of phone calls and duration of calls in the U.S., not specific names or subject matter.

However, if this is all the NSA is sup-posedly doing in regards to tracking its own citizens, why are we denied the right to know? If we truly are a government “by the people, for the people,” then we, as citizens, deserve to know what’s really happening in our government — espe-cially when it’s directly related to our lives.

In President Barack Obama’s state-ment regarding the NSA surveillance,

he argued that because our federal judges and select-ed officials in congress are “being fully briefed on these programs,” we should have no worries. After all, “these are the folks you all vote for as your representative in Congress.”

Representatives are sup-posed to represent what they know to be the majority

opinion of the people. If the people they represent are uninformed about these pro-grams, how are these members of Congress supposed to properly discern the voice of the people?

In President Obama’s statement on the NSA surveillance, he said. “There’s a reason why these programs are classified,” claim-ing, by making the American people aware of the details of this program, “the people who are trying to do us harm are going to be able to get around our preventive measures.”

If the mere knowledge of the extent of the government’s surveillance causes our security to be breached by international re-lations, then the problem is a weakness in these so-called “preventative measures.” If informing the American people about the extent to which we are watched by our own government somehow endangers national security, the NSA needs a better system.

Maybe what Snowden did by leaking classified government information was wrong, and while it was certainly illegal, it was also beneficial to American citizens. We have always had a right to this informa-tion, and now we have it. After all, this is our country, not the government’s.

In 1962, the Supreme Court case Engel v. Vitale ruled that public schools could not prescribe a reli-gious activity for students. We should apply this same ruling to town council meet-ings. These meetings should be the last place where an in-dividual’s religious beliefs are taken into account. Ensuring that students are not coerced into praying to a particular deity i s i m p o r t a n t , but government policies affect a much greater segment of the population.

The sheer dif-ficulty of ensur-i n g t h a t e a c h religious group is able to recite a prayer at the town council’s meetings should also dissuade them from allowing any. Of course, if Greece stopped allowing any prayers in order to be fair to all groups, some would claim that the government was supporting atheism. But an alleged favoring of atheism is better than a blatant promo-tion of any one religion.

What will Christians gain from this ritual? Upon hear-ing one of these prayers, will any attendee repent for their heterodoxy and accept

Jesus Christ as their lord and savior?

I can find only one reason for the malicious segment of the Christian population to support these prayers: the alienation of non-Chris-tians. The establishment of a state-sponsored religious in-stitution would be far too ob-vious and apt to provoke the public. It is far wiser to cloak

a comparatively minor promotion of Christianity in “tradition.”

The U.S. has come a long way in terms of reli-gious freedom. For example, we now have little reas on to fear t h a t c h i l d re n , the most impres-sionable part of the populace, will be coerced into

following the religious prac-tices of their teachers.

Whether the Supreme Court upholds Greece’s town council prayers is still uncer-tain. I hope it puts a stop to this clear violation of the sep-aration of church and state. This would be a tremendous step toward establishing a government that is more eq-uitable and efficacious.

Staff Reports

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa-based Public Service Company of Oklahoma has announced plans to replace all of its estimated 520,000 utility meters in Oklahoma during the next three years.

PSO said Monday that it will replace the meters with Advanced Meter Infrastructure meters. The company says the new AMI meters are expected to be fully installed by the end of 2016.

More than 30,000 PSO customers in Owasso, Sand Springs, Okmulgee and at the University of Tulsa already have AMI meters.

The company says the new meters have web acces-sible account and energy usage information, improved energy management and outage restoration and enhanced customer service.

ENID, Okla. (AP) — A new permanent wall that has be-come Oklahoma’s official memorial dedicated to veterans of the Vietnam War will offer healing, love and unity to the men and women who served, a former prisoner of war said Monday.

Retired Air Force Col. Lee Ellis was the keynote speak-er at the dedication of the Woodring Wall of Honor and Veterans Park at Woodring Regional Airport in Enid. Ellis’ plane was shot down in 1967 and he spent the next five years as a prison of war alongside Arizona Sen. John McCain in Hanoi and surrounding camps. The wall, Ellis

said, will help ensure that the men and women who served are never forgotten.

“As people come to this wall from all over the state and maybe neighboring states to see this wall and see their friends that didn’t come home, to touch those names and to remember them, it’s going to bring healing, love and unity,” said Ellis, a leadership consul-

tant, author and public speaker who lives in Atlanta.Ellis, who has four friends listed on the wall, said that in

the back of every POW’s mind is that they will be left and forgotten about.

“The one thing this wall brings to us is that these people — these men and women on that wall — will never be for-gotten. Those of us who came home must never let those who could not be forgotten,” he said.

LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST

The Fame“The Fame” (2008): The album that started it all,

“The Fame” is Gaga’s ode to pop music and pop culture in general. Whether she’s singing about “bluffin’ with my muffin” or wanting to “take a ride on your disco stick,” “The Fame” is a nice mixture of catchy beats and clever songwriting. Nothing groundbreaking but unde-niably fun.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Ever since her early “Just Dance” days, Lady Gaga has always been an artist dedicated to the strange and unique. Mixing themes about

sex, childhood, religion, life, empowerment and every-thing in between, Gaga always managed to shock and awe. Almost five years and three albums later, what is she to do when her path becomes the road most traveled?

On her newest album, “ARTPOP,” Gaga has managed to reinvent herself yet again. In her previous album, the dark, anthem-heavy “Born This Way,” you could clearly see the influence based on ‘80s pop music and arena rock. This time around, Gaga’s sound is best de-scribed as synth-pop, with flourishes of R&B, electron-ic and hip-hop thrown into the mix.

On the first two tracks, “Aura” and “Venus,” Gaga takes you to another world singing, “You’re out of this world/Galaxy, time and space!”

On the next track, “G.U.Y. (Girl Under You),” she returns to earth for a dance floor anthem that is as sensual as it is catchy. Listening to the album in it’s entirety, you can see what Gaga means when she says “ARTPOP” is “a celebration and a poetic, musical journey.”

However, this journey can occasionally be disrupt-ed by some of the more jarring tracks. On “Jewels n’ Drugs,” rappers T.I., Too $hort and Twista assist Gaga in her latest song about the dark side of fame. While the song is far from bad, it feels out of place compared to the rest of the album.

But even with those slight detours, there is still much to like about the album. Gaga is at her best when the over-the-top production takes a backseat to her vocals and unique musical arrangements. Take, for example, “Do What You Want,” an ‘80s throwback featuring R. Kelly. Gaga has never sounded better with throaty vo-cals like Christina Aguilera.

Tracks like “ARTPOP,” “Fashion!” and “Mary Jane Holland” also each stand out as unique pop numbers. “Dope” is a scorching number that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Broadway stage, and is a great example of both Gaga’s talents as a songwriter and a vocalist.

As a piece of art, “ARTPOP” won’t mark the start of a new era of music or even be remembered as a land-mark album years from now. But as a piece of pop, the album is pure gold. With a solid mix of both the famil-iar and the unique, Gaga has crafted one of the best pop albums of the year.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

The Fame Monster“The Fame Monster” (2009): If “The Fame” was

Gaga’s way of stepping into the pop game, “The Fame Monster” had her obliterating everyone in her path. Whether she’s crooning about self-pleasure on “So Happy I Could Die” or asking a guy to take a bite of her “bad girl meat” on “Teeth,” this EP shed all of the fluffiness from “The Fame” and replaced it with more complex melodies, moodier vocals and a cleaner pro-duction sound.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Born This Way“Born This Way” (2011): The album is filler-free,

with each song having it’s own unique sound and an aspect of it that makes it stick out. But with so many sounds going on at once, “Born This Way” feels frag-mented. Gaga uses heavy metal (“Heavy Metal Love”), ‘80s pop (“Fashion Of His Love”), rock (“You and I”), bubblegum pop (“Hair”) and electronic (“Government Hooker”). The result is a pretty good pop album that had the potential to be a great one if only it had a little more focus.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Co-Offensive coordi-nator Josh Heupel may need to watch

his back.The Sooners have lost

twice this season. In each of the losses, the offense was outplayed, out coached and embarrassed.

Bottom Line? Heupel may have been a great player at OU, but he has not been a

good coach.Part of it has been his inability to learn or adapt to other

offensive styles. Heupel was a pure pocket passer in his playing days. He learned from the creator of the air-raid of-fense, Mike Leach, and it shows.

The mobile-quarterback era is in full swing in Norman, and so far, Heupel doesn’t know how to use the quarter-back run.

The Belldozer gave Sooner fans their first glimpse at a mobile quarterback; it was an idea taken from Kansas State.

Then came the failed Trevor Knight experiment. He had the legs, but he simply didn’t have the passing prowess to run the Sooner offense. So what did Heupel do? He called to run the football — a lot.

Knight didn’t pan out, so the coaches turned to Bell to revamp the OU offense. That worked for about two games before the wheels started falling off. That didn’t derail Heupel. No. Instead, he didn’t call for a single quarterback run against Texas, only to insert it back into the mix against Kansas.

He can blame it on whatever opposing defense all he wants, but I’m not buying it.

The biggest problem is pretty simple to see. Oklahoma does not have an offensive identity. There are three senior running backs on the roster who are more than capable of moving the football. So it completely astounds me when Heupel doesn’t dial up a run play until the third series against Baylor.

OU needs to be running the ball early and often. It needs to be utilizing its talent in the backfield. It would take the pressure off the quarterback and open up the play action. OU is not doing that, and it’s hurting the offense.

But the fact of the matter is, Bell could be playing some of the best football of his life, and the offense would still be struggling because of Heupel’s play call. Many fans have started questioning the choice at quarterback, but it doesn’t matter who is under center if the correct play call isn’t there.

Heupel needs to improve offense

Julia [email protected]

SportS Editor

Bell doesn’t have the arm of former Sooners Sam Bradford or Landry Jones, but Heupel still insists on run-ning the offense like they’re still under center. The QB runs are still coming out of the Belldozer or similar formations.

Those don’t work anymore, and the read option seems to be forgotten with Bell running the offense.

Maybe this is an off year. I’m not calling for a resignation, and it seems a little dramatic to fire him after two losses this season. But if Heupel doesn’t step up his game, OU will need to find a new play caller.

Some former quarterbacks make great quarterback coaches and signal callers. Kliff Kinsgbury anyone? It’s just looking like Heupel isn’t that guy.

Chris James/The Daily

Junior quarterback Blake Bell catches an intentional grounding call when a texas defender comes close to sacking him Saturday in the red river rivalry this year. Heupel’s play calling during that game was suspect. He didn’t call a single quarterback run or play action pass.

BY tHE NUMBErS ou offense this season

Oklahoma senior center Gabe Ikard was named as a finalist for the Wuerffel Trophy as announced by the All Sports Association on Monday.

The award, named after former Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel, honors a college football player who best exempli-fies community service combined with academic and athletic successes.

Ikard, an Oklahoma City native, gradu-ated from OU with a 4.0 GPA in multidis-

ciplinary studies and is currently working towards a second degree in human relations.

The captain has started every game this year for the Sooners and anchors the middle of the offensive line.

The winner of the award will be announced on Dec. 10.

Staff Reports

OU sophomore forward Ryan Spangler was announced as Co-Big 12 Newcomer of the Week on Monday following his perfor-mance in Oklahoma’s season opening win over Alabama.

Spangler, who sat out last season after transferring from Gonzaga, was 7-for-11 from the field on Friday, netting 15 points and 12 rebounds. Both marks were career highs for the Tuttle, Okla. native.

The forward logged 30 minutes in his Sooner debut, helping Oklahoma overcome an early deficit to defeat the Crimson Tide, 82-73, in the Buckets and Boots Showcase at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Spangler shared conference Newcomer of the Week honors with Iowa State senior guard DeAndre Kane.

Staff Reports

The Oklahoma women’s tennis team concluded its fall schedule on Sunday, defeating Yale at the Northwestern Hidden Duals in Evanston, Ill.

Following a spree of losses on Saturday, the squad rebounded by taking four of five matches against the Bulldogs.

Senior Whitney Wofford, junior Abbi Melrose and sophomores Emma Devine and Zita Engbroks all earned wins against

their Yale opponent. Freshman Morgan Chumney was able to

force a third set in her match, but eventu-ally lost the contest — OU’s only dropped match of the day.

The Sooners will return to action Jan. 19 to begin their spring schedule. The team will face North Texas in its home opener.
