U.S. Congressman John Sullivan ran unopposed in 2010, but he will not have that luxury in 2012.

John Olson, a graduate of the University of Tulsa School of Law, hopes voters in Oklahoma’s first congressional district are ready for a change in representation.

Sullivan has been in office since 2002, when he defeated Democrat Doug Dodd in the race for an open

seat, one of Oklahoma’s five in Congress.

Olson’s wife and spokeswoman Zsa said that her husband was in-spired to run during last year’s budget battles. Olson is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan and an active Army Reservist.

A training weekend he helped plan was canceled in April 2011, as a U.S. government shutdown loomed. The soldiers went unpaid, and Olson was furious. “He saw a lack of character and concern (in Congress),” Zsa said.

In Afghanistan, Olson wit-nessed firsthand what he called government waste. The U.S. was sending uniforms to Afghan forc-es, who had no place to store the clothes. “They would take the

stuff and burn it,” Olson said.“The military is a microcosm of

what’s going on in our country,” Olson said. “You have people los-ing unemployment benefits and education benefits.”

Olson and Zsa make decisions as a team. The couple, whose six children attend Union Public Schools, say they are concerned about the quality of education in Oklahoma.

They see education as a criti-cal to move people out of poverty and say they are concerned about the budget shortfalls schools face. “Can we cut some waste so that we can afford to invest in schools?” said Zsa.

Olson’s focus on education ex-tends to those in the workforce. Zsa said, “We are firm believers that you can be retrained into a job.”

Zsa said that the response to her husband’s candidacy has so far been overwhelmingly posi-tive. “It’s almost like a bomb was dropped,” she said. “I think now is a great opportunity. We have an incumbent who has been there far too long.”

Despite the nascent campaign’s optimistic tone, Olson faces a tough race against an incumbent whose popularity has climbed in every election. Olson acknowl-edged problems with name recog-nition and money.

Major items on Sullivan’s legis-

lative agenda include tougher im-migration laws and protecting the energy industry in Oklahoma.

“We always say, when things don’t go right, look left. We’re looking left,” Zsa said.

Olson said that he was in favor of a gradual withdrawal from Af-ghanistan. “I don’t favor a hard and fast timeline,” he said.

Olson also represented himself as fiscally responsible. “Our bud-get is huge. There are things that need to be downsized,” he said. He referred to Sullivan as a “Wash-ington insider,” criticizing him for “97 percent party line vote.”

When asked about his chances against a 10-year incumbent, Ol-son gave himself modest odds: “50/50,” he said.

The Student Association Senate passed legislation this January

allocating funds for renovation of the Mabee Gym racquetball and squash courts.

The “Taking Ownership” Rac-quetball and Squash Courts Resto-ration Act, popularly known as the “Racquetbill,” was passed Jan. 24 and authorizes the SA Executive Committee to spend up to $7,000 to “refurbish, renovate, and cele-bratorily re-open” the deteriorated Mabee Gym facilities.

Katlyn McGouran, a commuter senator who is the act’s legislative sponsor, made her case before the

Senate by noting that the $6,000 or $7,000 required for the courts’ restoration “is equivalent to a few large events which we typically fund every week.”

Senator McGouran also praised the courts’ potential to combat the effects of the sedentary academic lifestyle, saying that SA could em-phasize “the importance of pro-moting physical well-being on our campus.”

The bill, which was authored after statistical research by the Office of the Treasury indicated greater-than-expected use of the courts by students, faculty and staff, passed with the unanimous consent of the Senate.

SA President Grant McCarty signed it and the SA Executive Committee presented it to a sup-portive President Steadman Up-ham on Jan. 31.

“It’s exciting for SA to provide something of permanence on cam-pus that will benefit not just stu-

dents this year, but for years to come,” McCarty said.

The next step for the Racquetbill is imple-mentation. Student As-sociation officials hope to have the racquetball facilities re-floored and the walls repainted before the end of the semester so that re-opening can be enjoyed by this year’s students.

Although the details haven’t been confirmed, Student Asso-ciation officials hope to have the courts closed, spruced up and re-opened all within about an eight-day period in March. March has been chosen because most stu-dents will be gone for a week over Spring Break, and if all goes well, there will be new racquetball fa-cility waiting for them on their return.

If the funds are available, the Student Association hopes to pur-chase rackets and balls that stu-dents can check out for free from

Campus Recreation. It remains unclear whether those rackets would be stored somewhere in Mabee Gym, or at the equipment check-out center in the Collins Fitness Center.

(Full disclosure: the writer, John Lepine, is SA Treasurer.)

“Racquetbill” passed, courts will get renovation

The Student Association will spend $7,000 to improve the deteriorating facilities in Mabee Gym by the end of the semester.

TU races past Marshall Thundering Herd

amanda sChEnKStudent Writer

Golden Hurricane fans expect-ing a show Saturday night

got exactly what they came for, with back-and-forth scoring be-tween TU and the Marshall Thun-dering Herd.

With a final score of 79–70 in favor of the Golden Hurricane, sophomore Jordan Clarkson helped push TU ahead, scoring 21 points over the course of the night. This win moved Tulsa into second place in the C-USA stand-ings, with a 7–2 record in confer-ence play and 14–9 overall.

The game opened up with the Herd matching Tulsa score for score. TU expanded a small lead halfway through the first half when Jordan Clarkson hit a three point jumper to push TU to 20 points versus Marshall’s 13.

The spectators hit their feet at this shot, and the team responded to the momentum by adding 17 more points in the following nine minutes, finishing the half up 37–30. See Herd page 4

Allie Stewart / CollegianJunior guard Scottie Haralson looks for opening against Marshall Saturday night. With the 79–70 win, coach Doug Wojcik tied for most wins in school history.

Students searching for a straight-forward and effective way to im-press grad schools or employers will get a chance to capitalize on their work and possibly earn some cash.

All undergraduate, graduate and law students are invited to join the 15th annual TU Student Research Colloquium. Since 1998, the uni-versity’s colloquium has offered a local platform for students to gain valuable research conference cre-dentials and presentation skills.

Students can present any con-tinuing or completed work, includ-ing course projects and Tulsa Un-dergraduate Research Challenge projects. Entries are accepted from any field on campus and research does not need to be experimentally based.

This year’s event will be held March 31—April 4 in conjunction with the 86th annual meeting of the Southwest and Rocky Moun-tain Division of the American As-sociation for the Advancement of Science.

One of the few interdisciplin-ary professional meetings in the country, AAAS-SWARM allows people throughout the community to learn about research across all disciplines. Teachers, high school students, professionals, students and faculty from colleges and uni-versities in the surrounding area will also be participating.

TU’s colloquium allows stu-dents to dodge many of the ob-stacles that regional research conferences entail. Students can present locally, without the incon-veniences of travel or applying for

conference reimbursement. The conference also offers cash prizes for the best student presentations, with additional opportunities for prizes through AAAS-SWARM.

In addition to the general presentation sessions, AAAS-SWARM also invites a keynote speaker annually. The 2012 John Wesley Powell Memorial Lecture, the conference’s keynote address, will be held at 7:30 p.m. April 1 in the Lorton Performance Center.

This year’s guest is Dr. Lau-rence C. Smith, Professor and Vice-Chair of UCLA Department of Geography and Department of Earth and Space Sciences. Smith’s lecture, titled “The World in 2050: Four Forces Shaping Our North-ern Future,” is free and open to the public.

Last year the colloquium saw entries from 139 students for oral and poster presentations. One of these participants was Cody Mar-tin, who presented his research project titled “Kinetics of the Chlorination of Caffeic Acid.”

Martin, a junior chemistry ma-jor who has participated in TURC and the Chemistry Summer Un-dergraduate Research Program, said, “The colloquium was a really convenient opportunity to present my research since it was just a couple minutes away.”

Hope Geiger, Senior Graduate School Admissions and Student Services Coordinator, has been organizing the colloquium for six years, and encourages students of all disciplines to apply. Geiger said that students will “get to list a professional conference on their resumes and talk about their re-search with research professionals from across the country.”

The entry deadline for abstracts is Feb. 14. For more information about this year’s event, visit www.aaas-swarm.org and www.utulsa.edu/research-colloquium.

SOMALIA

The United Nations has declared that Somalia’s famine conditions have ended. However, officials note that the situation remains se-rious.

The U.N. credits better access to food, a better harvest and signifi-cant humanitarian assistance with the alleviation of famine condi-tions.

For the past six months, Soma-lia, along with neighboring Afri-can countries, has been facing by drought. But with militant groups like Al Shabab stopping the Red Cross from distributing aid in rural areas under its control, political in-stability is proving just as fatal to Somalis who have been forced to flee Al Shabab-held regions.

Although harvest levels were the highest in 17 years, Somalia still holds one of the highest mor-tality rates in the world. Some 1.7 million people remain “in crisis” and 325,000 children are malnour-ished.

As Mark Bowden, the UN’s hu-manitarian coordinator for Soma-lia stated, “The gains are fragile and will be reversed without con-tinued support.”

Americas

COLUMBIAFARC, a left-wing rebel group, has killed more than a dozen police of-ficers and civilians by detonating

bombs in front of police stations in the southern town of Tumaco and Villa Rica in the west. Tumaco is the hub of drug trafficking and the setting of cartel rivalries over Pa-cific coast drug smuggling routes.

A nighttime curfew has been imposed and three hundred police officers have been sent to Tumaco for security and to investigate the attacks.

Colombia’s Minister of De-fense, Juan Carlos Pinzon, has offered a 1,200 million peso ($670,000) reward for information leading to the capture of the FARC rebel suspected of the attack, who goes by the alias Rambo.

Thus far, police stations have been targets, and at least one po-lice commander has been killed.

Asia

CHINAThousands of citizens from the fishing village of Wukan recently voted for 11 people who will in turn elect new leaders for the town.

This comes after nearly two months of ousting corrupt officials and initiating a protest movement against the local authorities. Many villagers blame Xue Chang, Party secretary for the village since 1970, for agreeing to real estate deals that robbed the local villag-ers of arable land.

Communist Party officials ended the protests nonviolently by agreeing to the election and to investigating both the shady real estate deals and the death of a pro-testor who died in police custody.

Many villagers believe that the man, Xue Jinbo, was tortured to

death by the local police. Howev-er, his family hopes his death will not be in vain since many are vot-ing in the village’s first transpar-ent election in decades, a possible first step towards true democracy. Communist Party officials have appointed a protestor as the Party secretary for the village until elec-tions occur.

Europe

UKRAINEMore than 100 people have died in one of the coldest winters to hit Eastern Europe in decades. Emer-gency services have estimated that 64 victims were homeless and have set up 3,000 heated tents and food shelters to treat the homeless and Ukrainians across the country.

Health officials have asked hos-pitals and shelters to keep home-less people even after they have been treated to protect them from the cold. Colleges and schools have closed and the government is urging people to be patient.

This comes as the country’s gas supplier, Gazprom, noted that Ukraine has already exceeded its gas intake per their contract. Rus-sia supplies gas to countries like Ukraine and its neighboring Ser-bia, Bosnia and Bulgaria.

If Russia discontinues gas ex-ports as they did in 2009 amid al-legations of Ukrainians siphoning Russian gas, it would leave those neighboring countries with possi-bly fatal gas shortages.

Ukraine’s Emergencies Minister Viktor Baloga has advised citizens to get up in the morning, work and exercise,” since “it hasn’t killed anyone yet and only makes a per-son fitter.”

To combat the cold, he recom-mended running “8–10 km every morning and taking a bath in cold water, all year round.”

This week, The Collegian takes you back in time to 1977, the year that Apple became a corporation and the original “Star Wars” film was released. This article, from the Feb. 9 issue, discusses an exciting new tech-nology called the computer and its impact on music after the days of disco.

The interim saw TU moving to the beat of a different drummer, one having at least a nodding acquaintance with R2D2. As host of the symposium “New Directions in Mu-sic,” the university featured a concert of computer music recordings, as well as lec-tures and discussions on the subject.

Perhaps the best known of the many “stu-dents” was award-winning composer, Aaron Copland, who lectured at the symposium, in addition to participating at the event. Co-pland is internationally renowned for his innovative compositions. From early child-hood, Copland was fascinated by music.

“There was a basic attraction to sound

itself,” Copland said, “It was very power-ful, and I decided I not only wanted to play music but write it.”

A Pulitzer Prize winner, Copland noted he liked computer music because it is exciting.

“It wakes you up,” Copland said.Dr. James Justice, professor of mathemat-

ics in charge of the program, agreed about the possible impact of the new music field. “The computer handles complex rhythms and can be tuned any way you want. It pro-duces tones that are accurate to many deci-mal places and provides timing that is accu-rate to the millionths of a second,” he said.

Although recognizing the creative poten-tial of computer music, Copland expressed a few reservations about the new discipline’s success.

“Tapes and records are drawbacks to mu-sic because there is never any difference from one playing to another. One of the de-lights of live music is that each performer and conductor has differing interpretations,” Copland said at a news conference at TU.

“However,” Copland continued, “I’m sure this will change with time. Some-

one will give us a button to press that will change the way a tape recording sounds. I don’t know how it will be done, but it will be done.”

Computer music research has been under-way at the University of Tulsa since 1971.

“A number of composers around the country are composing solely for the ma-chine,” McKee said.

Explained simply, the process of turning a piece of sheet music into computerized sounds requires five steps. First, the notes are coded by receiving the corresponding numbers. The numbers fed into the comput-er where the machine, making literally mil-lions of calculations, changes numbers to voltages. The voltages are sent to a digital-

to-analog machine which concerts the volt-ages to electric signals. The electric signals are fed into an amplifier or speakers. The result—music.

If a pending application to the National Science Foundation is granted, TU will, according to Justice, become one of the outstanding computer music centers in the world.

The TU center is very research-oriented, Justice added. The math prof has presented papers at international as well as national conferences on computer music.

A two-LP album is scheduled to be re-leased including all the computer-generated sounds and recordings played at the sympo-sium.

attacked after the match. Fans believe that the police allegedly

failed to search for weapons prior to the game, turned off the lights to give the ri-val club an advantage over Al Ahly and closed the gate on the Cairo club. The fans, dubbed “ultras,” were the most vocal against Egypt’s interim government and the Cairo club has had the most violent bat-tles with police over the past three months.

Protestors in Cairo’s Tahrir Square be-

lieve that the police consciously failed to intervene as retaliation for the ultras’ role in the protests against the current military regime. The riots have reached casualties in the hundreds, with at least 600 people injured and a dozen killed as the police threw tear gas and rubber bullets.

The government has detained the head of security and the chief detective of the district, and the current head of the Egypt’s government, Field Marshal Mohamad Tan-tawi, has called for three days of mourning.

Jan. 234:00 p.m.Officers responded to a complaint of miss-ing items in the Case Athletic Complex. Upon arrival, officers discovered that a to-tal of six victims had items missing from the football locker room. Officers viewed the film footage and concluded that a male non-student entered the building and went through belongings. The suspect was identi-fied and TPD notified. TPD is filing for an arrest warrant.

Incident update: Campus Security was able to identify the suspect in the thefts from Case Athletic Complex. The suspect used the stolen credit cards at local shopping centers. Campus Security was able to work with local agencies and verify the individual

through surveillance footage. The case has been turned over to TPD.

5:02 p.m.Officers responded to the complaint of prop-erty damage in the Brown Village Lot. The reporting person stated that his vehicle had been struck by a car parked beside him. The subject did not witness the accident.

6:00 p.m.An officer on patrol observed a domestic dispute in progress in a vehicle at 8th and Harvard Avenue. Upon contact, the officer observed a scratch across the female’s face and a verbal exchange between the two parties. TPD was contacted. Neither person was affiliated with the university.

6:26 p.m.An Officer was dispatched to the university-owned garage at 12th and Harvard to the re-port of a stolen trailer. Upon arrival, the of-ficer met with the reporting party who stated that the utility trailer had been parked in the fenced in area of the lot. The trailer was se-cured with a hitch lock. There was no report of authorized use of the equipment.

Jan.2410:06 a.m.An officer on patrol witnessed a vehicle col-lision in the DRC Lot. A driver was backing out of a marked stall and struck a park car. Contact was made with the owners of both vehicles and information was exchanged. There were no reported injuries.

11:05 p.m.Campus Security dispatchers observed an unidentified subject in the McFarlin Library restricted Special Collections. The subject was observed carrying items to the stair-well. An officer was dispatched but the sub-ject had left the area. Officers searched the area and made contact with the individual and identified him as a contactor. Campus Security confiscated the contractor’s keys until authorized possession could be veri-fied.

Jan. 27

3:30 a.m.An officer on patrol saw an ambulance

parked outside of John Mabee Hall. The of-ficer determined that EMSA had been con-tacted for an ill student. The student was transported to St. John’s Medical Center.

9:00 a.m.An officer was dispatched to the report of a burglary from John Mabee Hall. The of-ficer met with the victim who stated that he had left his room locked with the lights off. He returned approximately one hour later and found the room open with the lights on. There were various electronics missing. A copy of this report has been sent to Housing.

3:12 p.m.Officers responded to a fire alarm at Keplinger Hall. Upon arrival, officers re-sponded to the zone indicated on the fire panel and were not able to locate a fire or smoke source. The Physical Plant was no-tified. A Physical Plant employee and a technician from Mac Fire systems suspect-ed a malfunction in the equipment.

Scoreboard:

Five hours and fifty-three minutes: That is how long it took Serbia’s world No. 1 Novak Djokovic to best Spaniard Rafael Nadal in a grueling 5 sets in this year’s Aus-tralian Open final, 5–7, 6–4, 6–2, 6–7(5), 7–5.

The match, the longest Grand Slam Final in the Open Era, ran deep into the night, forcing many tennis fans into settling for a next-day replay.

Each player faced brutally tough semi-final encounters. Nad-al beat Roger Federer 6–7(5), 6–2, 7–6(5), 6–4 in three hours and for-ty-two minutes in one semi-final, and Djokovic beat Andy Murray in the other semi-final 6–3, 3–6, 6–7(4), 6–1, 7–5 in four hours and fifty minutes.

The victory represented Djokovic’s third straight Grand Slam victory, with each one of those victories coming against Nadal in the final. It also repre-sented Djokovic’s seventh-straight victory over Nadal, with each one of those matches coming in tour-nament finals.

Nadal jumped out to the early lead by capturing the first set 7–5 in a scratchy display of tennis from both players, each playing far from their best.

In the next two sets, Djokovic started to assert himself, winning them comfortably 6–4, 6–2, while Nadal seemed to be temporarily

off his game.The fourth set alone lasted

nearly an hour and a half, and witnessed both players finding their stride. Down two sets to one and 3–4 0–40, Nadal showed his trademark fight and willpower to spectacularly rally and win it in a tie-breaker to force a decisive set.

In the final set, a rejuvenated Nadal raced to a 4–2 lead, and Djokovic looked dead tired. With the match almost over, it looked like Rafa would be the one hold-ing the trophy.

But at 4–2 30–15 up, Nadal missed an easy put-away back-hand by millimeters. This gave Djokovic a second-wind, or per-haps a third or fourth or fifth-wind, after how long the two were doing battle.

Suddenly Djokovic was gallop-ing across the court like it was the first set. He broke Nadal at 5–5 and then served for the match at 6–5. He was two points from victory at 30–0 when Nadal summoned one last burst of energy. Nadal made several freakish gets to award him-self a break point, but he could not convert.

Djokovic ripped his shirt off after the victory, because this was more than a tennis match. It was an inhuman show of athleticism and stamina from both players.

After the match, Andy Roddick tweeted: “Djokovic-rafa. absolute war. Physicality of tennis has been taken to another level in the last 5 years. 6 straight hours of power/speed,” and several other players echoed his thoughts.

This was Djokovic’s third Aus-tralian Open title, and his fifth Grand Slam Title, while Nadal, de-spite the loss, still holds 10 Grand Slam titles.

Ranked Tulsa tennis dominate Big 12 foes:

Tulsa’s men’s and women’s tennis scored wins over ranked op-ponents this weekend as the men defeated No. 24 Texas Tech 5–2 and the women triumphed over No. 31 Oklahoma 5–2.

Each team was aided by su-perior doubles play as both Tulsa teams were awarded the all-impor-tant doubles point before engaging in the singles play.

Both teams will return to play in a tennis doubleheader Friday, with the women taking on Kansas State at 3 p.m. and the men facing Wichita State at 7 p.m.

Tulsa track and field takes tal-ents to South Bend in Meyo In-vitational:

Tulsa competed against teams from across the country this week as it participated in the Meyo Invitational. Freshman Chase Sammons and junior Chris O’Hare broke their own school records,Sammons in the weight throw and O’Hare in the 1000m run.

Junior Julian Frazier also broke his personal record, and earned a team high third place finish, in the 400m dash, with a time of 47.36.

After the meet, Tulsa track head coach Steve Gulley remarked that he “was extremely pleased with how everyone competed,” and was hopeful that the meet would “give both the men and women a lot of confidence going forward.”

Tulsa track and field will head to Fayetteville this week for the Tyson Invitational.

Date set for Tulsa Spring Game:

Bill Blankenship and the Golden Hurricane football team released the dates for both spring practice and the Spring Game this week. The Spring Game will be held on April 7, capping off the 15 days of spring drills.

Key storylines to watch are the quarterback battle to replace G.J. Kinne and the development of both the punting and kicking re-placements for Kevin Fitzpatrick.

Softball set to begin 2012 cam-paign:

Golden Hurricane softball kicks off this week as the team travels to Lafayette, La. for the 26th An-nual Louisiana Classic. Tulsa will travel to tournaments in College Station Tx. and Boca Raton Fla. before returning to the Hardesty Complex for the Hyatt Downtown Tulsa Tournament.

When the word “great” is used in sports, it is used to mean one of two things.

The first, widely overused con-notation to “great” means well-above average, as in “Dustin Pe-droia had a great year at second base,” or “Russell Westbrook is a great point guard.”

The second, more selective use means transcendent, game-chang-ing, game-defining. Names like Gretzky, Unitas and John Wooden come to mind. Think of athletes like Jessie Owens, Michael Phelps and Jim Brown and you think of athletes whose dominance in their sport was so massive that it spilled

into the greater world’s vision.One may say that Jessie Ow-

ens was just a runner, but it does not take a historian to know that a black man winning four gold medals in the 1936 Berlin Sum-mer Olympics was nothing short of “great.”

When you watched Space Jam as a kid and you heard Michael Jordan’s dad saying “shoot til you miss,” you knew you were watch-ing greatness, because that kid did not stop until he won six NBA Championships.

Greatness is Ted Williams, who in 1941 was two games away from finishing the season with a .39955 batting average that would have been rounded up to a historical, season long .400. Ted was given the option to sit out, to cement his .400 in stone or to play one last day: a doubleheader.

Maybe Ted was not satisfied with .39955, or maybe Ted just loved baseball too much not to play. Either way Ted Williams

went 6–8 in those last two games boosting his season average to .406. Ted Williams in 1941 was the last player ever to finish a ma-jor league baseball season at or above .400.

That is greatness. The point is that if you did not

catch Shaun “The Flying Tomato” White’s last run on the SuperPipe in the 2012 Winter X-Games, you missed greatness. Only know White for his goofy nickname or his goofier Stride commercials? Get online and watch some of his work.

On Jan. 29, in a run that did not even matter—he had a guaranteed first place in hand—Shaun White laid down a perfect run in the Su-perPipe, the first score of 100 ever to be granted in Winter X-Games history, for a fifth straight gold-medal in the event, all on a hurt ankle. When seeking a modern athlete to dub “great,” skip past LeBron and look no farther than Shaun White.

Although TU briefly let Mar-shall take over the lead in the sec-ond half, Steven Idlet made two free throw shots to help push Tulsa back ahead.

While scoring remained close, TU maintained the lead for the re-mainder of the game, sealing the win with Clarkson’s six straight points in the last minutes before the buzzer.

Additional high-scorers in-cluded sophomore Tim Peete, who landed a career-high 14 points over the course of the night, mak-ing this game the sixth time he has posted double-figure points this

year. Head coach Doug Wojick not-

ed the contributions of Peete and Clarkson adding in his post-game comments, noting that “Jordan Clarkson is really becoming a great player, and making a great name for himself” before adding that he “thought Tim Peete played terrific.”

The Golden Hurricane took ad-vantage of fouls made by the Herd throughout the night, with senior Steven Idlet shooting 10 for 10 from the free-throw-line.

Idlet’s 16 points in Saturday’s game puts him at 946 career points, just 54 points shy of 1000 with seven regular-season games

remaining in his basketball career at TU.

TU’s game Saturday night ver-sus the Marshall Thundering Herd marked head coach Doug Wojick’s 137 win at Tulsa, which ties Clar-ence Iba’s record for the most school wins in history. Saturday’s game, in addition to putting Tul-sa in 2 place in C-USA, was the 7tstraight win for the Golden Hur-ricane.

Wojick will look for his 138 ca-reer win and TU’s 8 straight win on February 8 when the men take on UTEP in Texas before return-ing home to play Houston in the Reynolds Center on February 11 at 7pm.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning celebrates his second Super Bowl championship after defeating the New England Patriots 21–17 in a thrilling season finale. On-campus watch parties included a gathering of the Back to the Future theme house and the traditional wings party at the John.

Head coach Bill Blankenship an-nounced that the Golden Hur-ricane football squad received letters-of-intent from 20 players last Wednesday, 13 Oklahomans among them, at a National Signing Day news conference. One pre-ferred walk-on was also admitted, bringing the total number of 2012 commitments to 21.

Visibly pleased with the recruit-ment results, Blankenship praised the 2012 class as “the deepest class in my tenure, even as an as-sistant coach here.” Though this is Blankenship’s second year as head coach, he takes special pride in them as the “first class we’ve had a chance to recruit from top to bot-tom.”

Specific points of pride for this class include football talent, char-acter, a “leadership bent,” partici-pation in championship programs and academic wherewithal. Sheer athleticism was another trait of several students, recruited with the potential to fill any number of po-sitions.

But with five graduating offen-sive linemen, there was a definite need to seek players at those posi-tions, especially since last year’s class had just one offensive line-man. Blake Belcher, Chris Wal-lace, Davis Walton and grayshirt Dylan Foxworth, all Oklahomans, were recruited with OL in mind.

Blankenship, a long-time head coach at Tulsa’s Union High School, attributed the local tilt of this year’s recruiting class in part to “tremendous relationships with coaches in this state,” going on to note that “in the last several years the number of young men playing Division I football from the state of Oklahoma averages out to over 50 per year.”

Three other recruits came from Texas, where TU “still (has) a big focus,” along with one each from Arkansas, Arizona, Kansas, Mis-souri and Louisiana. A 250-mile radius around Tulsa remains the

focus of Golden Hurricane recruit-ing and is typically the source of 80–90 percent of TU players.

Sixteen of the recruits come from schools that have posted at least one 10+ win season in the past two years. Five of them are from state champion teams, and three went undefeated.

Six players turned down “le-gitimate offers” from SEC, Big 12 and Big Ten programs, opting in-stead for TU’s academic calendar and for the geographical amenities of Tulsa’s location and the oppo-nents on its schedule.

One such player is MacArthur High School placekicker Daniel Schwarz, who received last-min-ute overtures from the University of Alabama the day before Nation-al Signing Day. Schwarz, who also considered Oregon State, TCU, LSU and Texas, was the last com-mitment to inform TU of his de-cision. Blankenship commended him as a “man of his word” and emphasized the importance of aca-demics to him.

Fans can “count on (Schwarz) to kick early,” Blankenship said, especially with the graduation of senior placekicker Kevin Fitzpat-rick, Tulsa’s record-holder for all-time scoring. The success and fail-ure of field goal attempts proved decisive in Tulsa’s two closest matches last season, a 24–17 vic-tory of UCF and a 24–21 loss to BYU in the Armed Forces Bowl.

Blankenship also reflected on the way that recruiting has changed at TU over the five years he has been on staff. “When I first came,” Blankenship said, the focus “was selling the program ... Now it’s, ‘Let’s get ‘em on campus.’”

In addition to the “livability” of the campus, the athletic facili-ties have received major overhauls in the past decade, including $20 million renovations of H.A. Chap-man Stadium and the completion of the $8.5 million Case Athletic Complex.

When asked how many players will be redshirted their freshman year, Blankenship indicated that he would like to redshirt as many as possible, but that some were certainly capable of playing im-mediately. “If they can help us win next year, they’ll play next year.”

The women set the pace early on, putting up a seemingly effortless 16-point lead and doubling the Cougar’s score and finishing the first half 24–12. Tension rose in the second half when the score closed to 60–50, and the Cougars began inflicting fouls and showing their teeth. Tulsa fought to maintain the lead and finished with a decisive 67–53.

Studio 54: A Weekly Review of All Things Retro.

Elliot baumanStudent Writer

John Lennon (left), Ringo Starr (center) and Paul McCartney (right), along with George Harrison (not pictured), hide out in the Swiss Alps in an attempt to evade an evil cult set on sacrificing Ringo to their god.

It is fairly well known that the popular music scene of 1960s America was largely dominated by a number of groups originating from the United Kingdom. Bands such as the Kinks, the Animals, Herman’s Hermits and the Roll-ing Stones rode the wave of rock and roll revolution as they brought the so-called “British Invasion” to post-war America.

At the head of the “British Inva-sion” was, of course, the Beatles. In particular, the Beatles stunned younger Americans with their catchy tunes, charm and sense of style, and at least during the mid-1960s, the popularity of the group could not be beat by any contem-porary artist at the time.

While it is likely that nearly anyone could name a few songs by this 1960s super-group, the fact that the Beatles also made films is far less familiar. The Beatles them-selves produced numerous mov-ies, but the film titled “Help!” was certainly their greatest cinematic work.

That being said, it is only fair to state that praise such as “great-est cinematic work” is bit of a stretch for the film, “Help!” In other words, it is not particularly noteworthy in the grand scheme of films. Nevertheless, “Help!” is an entertaining watch.

Indeed, the 1965 hit album, “Help!” is actually a soundtrack for the Beatles film of the same name. The movie is split into three parts and depicts the four mem-

bers of the Beatles—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr—as they attempt to evade and combat an evil cult intent on stealing a valuable ring worn by Starr.

The film does largely follow this plotline, however, the producers do manage to cleverly include perfor-mances of some of the album’s hit songs, including “Ticket to Ride,” “You’re Going to Lose That Girl,” “The Night Before” and “Help!” That being said, the film is not en-tirely a promotional device for the album, but also stands as a good feature on its own.

Regardless, The Beatles are most well-known for their musi-cal talent, and such a fact shows in the film. The acting is mediocre at best. The film’s special effects are not stunning—appropriate for the 1960s.

Despite these shortcomings, the film is worth watching. If nothing less, viewers at least get the plea-sure of watching the Beatles per-form some of their hit songs from the album, “Help!”

The film is usually sold at vari-ous retro film suppliers. Vintage Stock on 41st and Yale would be more than happy to have your business.

Beatles’ “Help!” entertains

In this disturbing horror-thriller, Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) plays a lawyer sent to the eerie Marsh House to sort through the papers left by a client of the firm, Alice Drablow, following her death.

Once there, he encounters a mysterious ghost known as the Lady in Black (Liz White), and a town full of suspicious people who know more about the dark events surrounding the abandoned house then they let on. The film is loose-ly based on a novel by Susan Hill.

Setting the film in the early 20th century was an excellent decision that allowed the film-makers to ex-ploit the tensions produced when the new modern age encounters old superstition and a resurgence of interest in the occult. The con-flict between these two modes of thinking is stressed throughout the film.

There is excellent attention to detail. Each prop is carefully chosen, and period appropriate newspapers and posters are omni-present. The darkly lush colors of the countryside and the salt-marsh surrounding Marsh House height-en both the bleak isolation and the eerie beauty of the place.

As with the vast majority of horror movies, this one loses some momentum at the middle. There is a stretch of time, perhaps 10

or even 15 minutes, that features Kipps dashing from here to there in the house, going back-and-forth between rooms after hearing mys-terious sounds and seeing tell-tale signs of ghosts.

Though this is meant to contrib-ute to Kipps’ mounting alarm, the lack of dialog or definite action makes it forced and prolonged. It is difficult to continue a suspen-sion of disbelief during this seg-ment. There are also a few scenes that cut too abruptly from one scene to the next.

Many changes were made from Hill’s original novel. Things that were only hinted at during the nov-el, such as the mysterious deaths of children and The Woman in Black’s own death, were made ex-plicit. Some characters and events were completely new. For the most part, these changes were welcome; what works well to create a subtly uncanny novel does not translate to screen.

However, the ending is com-pletely different from that of the book. For sheer shock value, the movie might have won. However,

it has several lose ends that might leave viewers unsatisfied. The ending to the novel is subtler, but also more chilling.

While a well-done movie, “The Woman in Black” is not spectacu-lar, and Radcliffe’s name alone will keep it from being forgotten.

As with other actors in highly successful and well-known roles, there have been doubts regarding whether Radcliffe will ever escape his fame as “Harry Potter.”

The film did a good job address-ing this. In dress, hairstyle and fa-cial hair, Radcliffe looks very dif-ferent from The Boy Who Lived. The trademark glasses were no-where to be seen.

Radcliffe takes great efforts to distinguish his characterization of Arthur Kipps from Potter. The way he walks and holds himself are more measured and controlled. His voice is lower and steadier.

Though the film has its ups and downs, Radcliffe convincingly plays the part of a young, grief-struck lawyer as opposed to a boy wizard.

Radcliffe’s new film delivers chills

Although a decent film, “The Woman in Black” veers sharply from Susan Hill’s novel.

Oklahoma winery Stone Bluff Cellars offers quality wine a short drive from Tulsa. Spurred to ac-tion by a LivingSocial deal and the promise of artichoke dip, I ventured to the rural vineyard on a recent Saturday. Tucked between rolling hills on a winding rural road, the winery proved to be a hidden gem.

My wine-loving companion and I began by ordering lunch. Our cou-pon was for a bowl of soup apiece, plus a cheese basket and artichoke dip appetizer to share. Since the day’s soups were not vegetarian friendly, I substituted hummus for soup. Most menu items are priced in the $6–10 range.

After ordering, we participat-ed in a wine tasting. Guests may choose three or four wines to sam-ple, and my companion and I both singled out the dry, red selections. We also tasted the semi-sweet red and were pleasantly surprised to find it fruity but not overpower-ingly sweet.

My companion and I are wine lovers, but we are not experts. The staff was friendly and helpful in il-luminating the finer characteristics of each variety we tried. We de-cided to split a bottle of the Cyn-

thiana, which was one of the dry reds, and purchased a bottle of the sweeter wine to take home.

The dining room is adjacent to the space where visitors enter and order. The open, bright space overlooks the landscape. Guests seat themselves, and on the day we went the dining room was crowd-ed, in part because of a live guitar performance. Service was slow at first but improved as the crowd abated. The food was simple and delicious, and the cheese basket was the perfect accompaniment to the wine we selected.

Stone Bluff Cellars is located at 24145 E. 191st St. South in Haskell, Oklahoma, about a 45 minute drive from the Univer-sity of Tulsa. If that sounds too far, several Stone Bluff wines are available in many local liquor stores.

They Might Be Giants is the band that gave rise to a genre. Thanks to John Flansburgh and John Linnell, nerds everywhere have music of their own. Luckily for those who love them, the band still puts on a quirky, rocking show. Wednesday night’s perfor-mance at Cain’ Ballroom featured a conga line, a giant Meg Ryan cut out, and a pair of decidedly adult puppets.

Opener Jonathan Coulton set the tone for the evening when he launched into “Code Monkey,” a song extolling the virtues of Fritos and Mountain Dew. The audience was later encouraged to give its best rendi-tion of a zombie hoard, which it managed admirably.

The band’s refusal ever to play the same show twice is a point of pride, but that did not keep them from retaining fan favorites on the set list. “Birdhouse in Your Soul” was performed with gusto before a riotous crowd, and the first notes of “The Guitar

(The Lion Sleeps Tonight)” sent fans into a frenzy.

The band also played songs from its lat-est album, “Join Us,” which were energeti-cally performed but inspired considerably less singing from the crowd. The album was available in a variety of formats, includ-ing vinyl, increasing the likelihood of im-promptu backup vocals next time the band comes to town.

It is not every band that can pack a show with the promise of songs about ancient civ-ilizations and alphabetized lists, but TMBG got the job done. The band was formed in 1981, and 30 years later it refuses to grow up. Lucky us. If you missed TMBG last week, not to worry: the band promised to keep Tulsa on its touring schedule.

2. “This Cat is Planning Something Evil”—This is evidence enough that cats are up to no good.

Obnoxiously Awesome Animal VideosAll these weeks you have been with us, dear readers, have doubtless been fruitful in turn-ing you into happy, healthy and wise water droplets in the great swirling hurricane that is our collective university life. That is to say, we hope you have learned a thing or two from our column, and that you are thus all the more productive, efficient and satis-fied.

But we know that one question has burned in the back of your minds, Golden Hurrica-noes. It nags you in the waking hours and haunts your nightmares while you sleep, though you plead with whatever higher power you revere for relief from the puzzled torment. “How,” you sob in confusion and despair, “does the Student Association fund-ing process work?”

Truth be told, there are many avenues that will lead you to enlightenment of this kind. The sacred scriptures of Student Asso-ciation are inscribed on the pages of www.utulsa.edu/sa, and the relevant text for this issue is the FA Guidelines. But the language is technical and dry, and trying to decipher it runs entirely contrary to the spirit of life-hacking.

Alternatively, you could email the SA Treasurer (john-lepine@utulsa.edu), who is, by all accounts, a nice enough fellow and moderately helpful. But in case he should die in a freak treasuring accident, here are the quick and dirty details he would want you to know about SA allocations.

There are two major categories of fund-ing: Event Sponsorship (ES) and Travel Al-locations (TA). As their names suggest, one is for funding on-campus events, and the other sponsors various trips, especially for academic and leadership conferences.

If you and your chartered student orga-

nization—the Knitting Club, say—want to host a Quilting Bee/Root Beer Kegger (be-cause no, SA categorically refuses to fund your drinking problem), you will need to fill out an Event Sponsorship application (all SA apps can be found at www.utulsa.edu/sa). ES applications are not due until the day of the event, but sending your application to sa-allocations@utulsa.edu at least two weeks in advance means you can find out whether receive money before, you know, you spend it.

A few things to keep in mind: your orga-nization can get funding for six events per year for a total of $3000 or for three events per year for a total of $5000. A more-than-one-time “event series”—like a monthly lunch meeting or a philanthropy week—can be applied for as one event, subject to all the caps of a single event and only counting as one of your three or six yearly events.

SA funds up to $7 per person for food expenses (and you will need to request a catering exemption with Sodexo if you spend more than $100 on outside food), up to $1000 for entertainment, and up to $75 for decorations and dinnerware. This money cannot be used to buy anything “non-con-sumable,” like t-shirts or easy chairs or the last pair of underpants worn by Elvis.

If your organization is going on a trip, ap-ply two weeks in advance. The trip has to be open to all students unless it is Confer-ence Travel (CT) to some official gathering, but CT funds are always cut by 50 percent or limited to $80 per student (whichever is more).

SA funds up to $150 per student for reg-istration, up to $200 per student for trans-portation, up to $15 per person per day for food, and up to $15 per person per night for lodging.

There are lots of numbers involved, no denying it, but once you submit the applica-tion, your loving senators walk with you the rest of the way until that money is burning a hole in your freshly-reimbursed pocket. It is that simple.

Study harder, live longer, trick yourself into being a better person. Hack your life.

Released in 2011, “Into the Abyss” is a wise and penetrating new documentary, but it may not be the kind of film that moviegoers expect.

Although it profiles two young men con-victed of homicide in Conroe, Texas—one sentenced to life, the other to death—it is not an issue film. It does not make political arguments or strive for propagandistic ef-fects, but rather approaches its subject from all angles in search of its deepest truths.

The documentary was created by one of the best directors, Werner Herzog, whose balanced, meditative approach is appropri-ate for the material.

Although Herzog’s disapproval of capi-tal punishment is clear, he allows the film to speak for itself through the accumulated opinions of those he interviews. At the heart of the story are Michael Perry and Jason

Burkett, in prison for three murders com-mitted in 2001.

Perry—resembling a baby-faced Steve Buscemi—stubbornly insists on his in-nocence, even as he awaits his execution, which occurred eight days after his inter-view in the film. Nothing about Perry, save his mere humanity, serves to earn our sym-pathy.

Jason Burkett, Perry’s former friend, is sentenced to life in prison. During the docu-mentary Herzog remains off-screen, asking piercing and painful questions. The guilt of these men is not in question however, the focus of the documentary is the effect their crimes had on the lives and souls of all in-volved.

Herzog finds a whole host of stories lead-ing into and out of the film’s central focus, and presents them throughout the documen-tary. Such stories include other tragedies which have plagued the families of the victims, the pain and remorse of a guard who oversaw more than 100 executions, Burkett’s father—who has spent his life in prison—and, perhaps most intriguingly, Burkett’s wife who met and married him af-ter his incarceration and now claims to be carrying his child.

This is a harrowing, mysterious film steeped in deep tragedy. Despite flashes of unexpected humor and glimmers of hope, it is often quite painful to watch. The film does not seem likely to change one’s views on the morality of capital punishment; however, the thoughts and emotions that it stirs—about life, death and faith—will linger.

“Into the Abyss” painful to watch

Herzog’s latest film delves into the minds of two men in prison and focuses on the effect their crimes had on those involved.

They Might Be Giants gives energetic performance at Cain’s

Emily CallEnStaff Writer

After 30 years of music, TMBG refuses to grow up.

Emily Callen / The Collegian

The Giants’ John Flansburgh (left) and John Linnell on the accordion combined engaging music with great showmanship on Wednesday night at Cain’s.

In late January the Department of Health and Human Services an-nounced that the federal govern-ment would begin requiring in-surance policies and health care providers within the scope of the Affordable Care Act to provide contraceptive services.

This decision immediately placed Department Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and President Barack Obama at odds with many private organizations, particularly schools, hospitals and charities af-filiated with the Catholic Church and other religious organizations.

Indeed, the Obama administra-tion made this decision knowing full well Catholicism’s position on artificial birth control.

Catholic doctrine on the topic is not a contemporary development: St. Augustine of Hippo addressed the subject as early as the 4th cen-tury. More recently, in 1968 Pope Paul VI issued his Humanae Vitae which reaffirmed what Augustine and other Church leaders taught throughout history.

Not only is Catholicism’s policy well-established, it has been con-sistent for centuries.

Catholic beliefs on procreation, conception and relationships are

rich in history and depth. Yet the Obama administration’s decision had nothing to do with the merits or risks of birth control.

The issue is one of religious lib-erty and the freedom of religious organizations to live and practice their beliefs.

Starting in August of this year the government will force Catho-lic organizations and others to act against those beliefs.

When confronted about this abuse of power, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney at-tempted to deflect criticism by noting that groups and individu-als could exercise a “conscience clause” provision in the law and claim an exemption.

However, this “conscience clause” exemption only applies to patients practicing the same reli-gion as the provider.

“That means we can’t say what we’ve been saying for 200 years, ‘Are you sick?’” said Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, retired Archbishop of Washington, D.C. “We have to say ‘Are you Catho-lic?’ And we don’t do that.”

Indeed, the Obama administra-tion made this decision lacking compromise with or appreciation of the affected hospitals and orga-nizations.

That their decision was so uni-lateral and one-sided is surprising.

In my Democratic home state of Illinois, then-Governor Rod Blagojevich issued similar regu-lations requiring pharmacists to dispense the “morning-after” pill regardless of their personal or reli-gious beliefs on contraception.

Amidst a flurry of lawsuits and uncertain litigation, Blagojevich and the state compromised, al-lowing pharmacists to decline dispensing contraceptives as long as they informed the customer of another pharmacist who would fill

their prescription.Compromise like this bears the

fruit of the new attitude Obama promised when taking office.

In his 2009 commencement ad-dress at the University of Notre Dame, Obama said “We must find a way to reconcile our ever-shrink-ing world with its ever-growing diversity—diversity of thought, diversity of culture and diversity of belief. In short, we must find a way to live together as one human family.”

However, by coercing Catholics and others into obedience, Obama disrespected the very diversity he spoke of.

This heavy-handed action has not been ignored. Even moderate and liberal Catholics voiced their opposition and displeasure with the administration.

Liberal Washington Post edito-rial writer E.J. Dionne sharply re-buked the decision: “Speaking as an American liberal who believes that religious pluralism imposes

certain obligations on govern-ment, I think the Church’s leaders had a right to ask for broader relief from a contraception mandate that would require it to act against its own teachings,” he wrote.

“The administration should have done more to balance the competing liberty interests here,” he continued, and by blithely ig-noring the concerns of many Cath-olics who previously supported his administration, “Mr. Obama threw his progressive Catholic allies un-der the bus.”

Importantly, even if the Obama administration did compromise or rescind the order, individuals are still free to use contraceptives.

There is no conflict of constitu-tional rights involved—if an em-ployer refuses to provide coverage for birth control, an employee is not prohibited from using it. The employee is then free to obtain contraceptives from any number of private or state services which often (and, it must be said, freely

and aggressively) provide it at lit-tle to no cost.

Indeed, by compelling an orga-nization to violate its own prin-ciples, the Obama administration violates the principle of religious liberty and sets itself up for a legal battle Democrats in Illinois feared they could not win in 2007.

The only conflict of rights in-volved is the Obama administra-tion’s decision to tell religious or-ganizations what to do.

Catholic schools, hospitals and charities existed to help the poor and needy long before any govern-ment program.

Here, right or wrong, the Obama administration is telling those reli-gious groups how they should con-duct their religious affairs.

By saying they cannot main-tain their religious identity, the Obama administration is wrong and should immediately exempt Catholics and others from this part of the Affordable Care Act.

Despite claims to the contrary, new Department of Homeland Security regulations for the Transportation Security Administration run a high risk of profiling.

Since 9/11, everyone has expe-rienced the irritations and hassles of heightened security at the hands of TSA.

Being herded like cattle, thor-oughly searched and robbed of ba-sic rights to oneself and one’s dig-nity have transformed what used to be a potentially pleasant experi-ence into a tedious nightmare.

These policies are all in keeping with DHS regulations designed to guard against another terrorist di-saster.

The Obama administration has responded to the complaints with a new plan that proposes to al-low more “low-risk” passengers

to pass through with little or no hassle, while continuing to place “high-risk” passengers under clos-er screening.

DHS Secretary Janet Napoli-tano announced a coming “shift away from one-size-fits-all to risk-based screenings,” using the rea-soning that “Not every traveler or piece of cargo poses the same level of risk to our security.”

This plan would allow some in-dividuals, such as frequent-flyers, those who volunteered additional information up front and members of trusted travel programs, to pass through security with little or no hassle.

This PreCheck initiative has al-ready been implemented at several airports, and the number of air-ports involved is likely to increase.

The problem with this proposal is the possibility of profiling. Na-politano insists that there is no profiling going on.

She claims that this will be a more efficient and focused way of dealing with potential terrorists.

The PreCheck method uses the fact that that certain travel routes are problematic” to make informed decisions about what passengers to stop and screen more intensely and which passengers do not, statisti-cally, pose much of a threat.

There is no question about the greater efficiency that this plan will allow.

There is also little question about whether the statistical evi-

dence is lacking. Small children, for example, are not likely to be terrorists. Neither are business men or women who routinely commute between cities.

For my part, I would love to go home during school breaks with-out receiving an extra dose of ra-diation or having strangers see the holes in my socks.

However, Napolitano’s claim that this does not constitute profil-ing is false. The existence of great-er efficacy and statistical evidence do not preclude the existence of profiling.

All that they do is allow Napoli-tano and DHS to attempt to justify their actions without using such a loaded term. If the new TSA Pre-Check and targeted screening pro-grams are put into place, the indi-viduals pulled from those “certain travel routes (that) are problem-atic” will likely be overwhelming male and international.

The division between “low-risk” and “high-risk” passengers is troubling. Even if it is uncon-scious or supported by statistical evidence, profiling will certainly play a part in deciding who is “low-risk” and who is “high-risk.”

As appealing as the new, lighter strictures might seem for some, we are fooling ourselves if we pretend that these new rules are anything less than profiling hidden in the pretty packaging of efficacy and statistics.

The January decision of the Department of Health and Human Services requiring employer health insurance to cover contraceptives damages religious pluralism and religious liberty.

Contraceptive mandate violates basic liberties

Dividing passengers into “low-risk” and “high-risk” opens the door to more extreme violations of rights —this time based on sex, nationality and travel.

Dear Readers,

I hope that everyone has been having a successful second semes-ter. I especially hope that you have all enjoyed and benefitted from reading the Collegian.

I know that you all have noticed how many changes we have made in the newspaper compared with last school year. In recent weeks, we have been working even more major changes in both our design and the types of stories we want to cover.

As we hinted on the front cover, our next issue will be something of a departure from our current look. I suspect most of you, even if you

do not regularly read the Colle-gian, will not be able to help pick-ing it up.

As we roll out our new format, it will be imperative that those of you interested in addressing a problem you may have on campus reach out to us as a means of tack-ling it. We will be looking to go more in depth on the local issues important to you.

As always, we seek dedicated writers, photographers and graphic artists to join our effort. We pay!

Our thanks to all you readers. We would not be here without you.

As Western civilization moves forward it will face a critical decision: whether the profits and benefits made by a few situated in the upper echelons outweigh the prime moral imperative of man: to treat the Earth and its inhabitants with profound respect.

This civilization will survive only if it recognizes that its existence is directly dependent upon the health of planet Earth.

We are obligated to be stewards of the only home we have, to support the world population in attaining a dignified standard of living and to do so with an active con-science and consciousness.

It is our duty, as Buckmin-ster Fuller said, “to make the world work for 100 percent of human-ity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”

We must live without ecological offense. This is perhaps the most important moral imperative since the Golden Rule.

The extent to which the world is willing to commit resources to prevent ecological offense will be revealed the light of a recent discovery in Ecuador.

Oil companies have discovered over 900 million barrels of crude oil in this Latin American country, one-third of whose citi-zens live in poverty.

One half of Ecuador's income from ex-ports comes from petroleum. At today's prices, those 900 million barrels are worth more than $70 billion and would bring Ec-uador the equivalent of $10 billion.

Yasuni National Park is a 10,000 square kilometer expanse of jungle and rainforest in eastern Ecuador and is home to several of the last uncontacted indigenous peoples.

It is widely considered the most biologi-cally diverse land area on Earth. A single hectare of land in Yasuni has more tree spe-cies than all of North America.

So it seems appropriately ironic that those 900 million barrels would be discovered right below it.

Yasuni itself is priceless. Filled to the brim with ecological wonder, it could easily hold as-yet-undiscovered biological discov-eries and medical breakthroughs.

The area has already been damaged by the construction of so-called “oil” roads by Texaco to move oil in and out of some ar-eas of the park. The cleanup cost of these

roads and of toxic waste dumps of which Texaco is also accused is $16.5

billion.

Ecuador finds itself faced with an impos-sible question: permit companies to extract the crude, risking contamination on a scale equal to or greater than that which prompted an ongoing suit against Chevron, which ac-quired Texaco in 2001, or, at the economic expense of the country, protect the integrity of Yasuni.

It is a hard decision. So when the solution

Ecuador's leadership arrived at is labeled as “blackmail,” “ransom” or “ecological extor-tion”, as it has been by pundits and bloggers alike, it is not only inaccurate, but dismis-sive and wholly unhelpful.

In exchange for preserving the national park Ecuador has asked for a total of $3.6 billion in public and private donations over the next 13 years.

Ecuador is asking for less than half the estimated return for drilling. Known as the Yasuni-ITT Initiative, the plan seeks to leave the Ishpingo-Tiputini-Tambochacho oil fields untapped. This is an incredibly generous offer.

In the interest of ecological stewardship, the international community ought to do all it can to help Ecuador keep Yasuni pristine.

Doing so not only keeps this natural para-dise unmarred, it also protects the rights of the people who live within its borders and it keeps an estimated 400 million metric tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

The time has come to end the oil paradigm. Earth has seen enough of the ecological of-fenses and obsceni-ties perpetrated in the name of profit and ne-

cessity. From the massive

spill burns in Nigeria to the absurdly high rates

of deadly cancer in the aptly named Cancer Alley of Loui-siana, the oil and gas industry has continually disregarded human rights, fair business practice and plain old ethics in

the interest of its bottom line.But there is now a chance to see

something new. Germany has already pledge $50 million a year for 12 years. The U.S. should do at least as much.

Traditionally, people of African descent have been crossed out of American History annals. It is not because black Americans were not active in the American Revolution. It is not because black American people did not gain wealth from the Tulsa oil boom.

They were written out because Black people were discriminately labeled as in-ferior and incapable. Black History Month is celebrated to systematically restore the esteem, pride, and recognition of Black achievements.

Harvard educated historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a black man, conceptualized an observance for black history in the first quarter of the 20th century.

Woodson and Minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Af-rican American Life and History, an organi-

zation dedicated to researching and promot-ing achievements by black Americans and other peoples of African descent.

This group launched the first national Black History Week in 1926. By the late 1960s, thanks in part to the Civil Rights Movement and a growing awareness of black identity, the week evolved into Black History Month.

President Gerald R. Ford officially recog-nized Black History month in 1976. Since then, every American President has en-dorsed February as Black History month. Black History Month is not limited to listing names of inventors.

The events sponsored by organizations nationwide focus on endeavors of persever-ance, celebration of culture and preservation of identity. The rich legacies of people of African descent are a point of pride not just for Black Americans, but for all peoples in this nation.
