For some, walking into the Learning Resources Center Sept. 21-24 may have seemed somewhat confusing. Red life-sized silhouettes of people stood in the various corners, each bearing a different story about violence. Katrina Braxton was only 28 when a man attacked her inside her house; Russell Roberson was shot in the head by his ex-girlfriend. In one corner stood Summer Rust and her four children who were all murdered by her boyfriend. The Silent Witness Project seeks to raise awareness for domestic violence issues in their travelling exhibit. The red cutouts serve as a vi-sual reminder of those lost to abusive situations. The silhouettes speak for those who no longer have voices and are meant to inspire others to break the silence. Unfortunately, many victims and their families remain silent regarding domestic abuse until it is too late. “It makes me more aware of the signs of abuse for myself and those around me and causes me to not want to be silent if I recognized it and not be afraid to speak out,” a circulation clerk who wished to remain anonymous at the LRC said. The Silent Witness Project began in 1990 when a group of female artists from Minnesota decided to speak out against the growing rate of domestic violence. They settled on making these red figures to present the stories of 26 women who had been killed as a result of domestic violence, as well as a 27th figure to represent the other women whose murders went without justice being served. All 50 U.S. states are now involved with the project, along with several other countries, and it has successfully helped to reduce the number of victims. The goal is to have “zero domestic violence murders by 2010.” The project has certainly had an effect on those at the LRC. “I just think it’s very sad,” Jillian Whitaker, business major, said. “They all died so tragically. I don’t understand why the little babies had to get killed.”

The annual Student Lead-ership Retreat brought to-gether students from the student senate and various clubs to learn networking skills Sept. 25-26. The event took students from RSC to the Renais-sance Hotel and the UCO ropes course. Before the students left the school, they were asked to introduce themselves and played games that al-

lowed them to learn more about each other. In the opening program, Lisa Pit-siri, executive director of institutional advancement, explained that internships and career fairs are great ways to learn about new jobs. The leadership retreat taught skills in making connections in order to get those jobs. Pitsiri said students come to school in order to have a career in the future, and

one of the most important factors in getting a job is networking. By going on the lead-ership retreat, students were encouraged to social-ize with other groups and make new connections. Student bonded through games that taught them valuable team building skills. Teamwork was one of the key points at the UCO ropes course on Saturday. Participants started out

with games that required them to work together and learn to trust one another. For some this wasn’t easy. “Jumping into a net sounds fun until you are face-to-face with a 35 foot pole,” Elexandria Murchin-son, sociology major, said. But generally, everyone learned to trust in each other and to encourage those who thought they couldn’t do something simply because it was too scary.

“The trip felt like a fam-ily outing. I’m glad I was invited,” Lashawn Ervin, English major, said. The trip was the first leadership retreat for Em-ily Fisher of Student Ac-tivities, and it was consid-ered a success. “The Student Leadership Retreat was such a great experience,” Fisher said. “I really enjoyed getting to know each of the students and watching them bond with each other.”

The stigma of mental ill-ness makes it hard for the diagnosed to accept the re-ality of the situation. Gene, who is diagnosed with schizophrenia, spent two years of his life in denial of his disease. Schizophrenia is a disease causing halluci-nations, auditory or visual, sometimes both. Gene, like seven oth-er panelists from Unity House, an outpatient be-havioral health center, spoke of his battle with mental illness to raise awareness Sept. 23 in the

Student Center’s dining room. Dr. Joanne Stafford, di-rector of special services, introduced the HEROES panel, encouraging people not to lose sight of recov-ery when dealing with mental disorders. At one point, Gene lost sight. He stopped taking medication, believing he wasn’t sick, and the wom-an he lived with during the time didn’t know he suffered a mental disorder. She only noticed his “para-noia.” Finally, he came to terms that he had schizophrenia when a counselor from

North Care, the organiza-tion running Unity House, visited him, and then, Gene realized he needed to find his way to the path of recovery. Unity House serves those with mental ailments so that they can achieve recov-ery. Unity House’s mem-bers run the day treatment program with aid from case managers, according to Frank, a panelist who was diagnosed with organ-ic brain syndrome, a dis-ease where the mind’s basi-cally wiped clean and then everything the patient had known must be re-learned. Frank said Unity House

welcomes new members by telling them they’re no longer just an individual; they’re part of a family. Case managers’ ratio is one to approximately 14, and there are about 140 members at Unity House, according to Phil Francis, case manager. At Unity House, mem-bers pick classes instruct-ing topics such as anger management, building self-esteem, and managing voices. However, the fact some members experience hal-lucinations such as voices often leads to stigma, pre-cisely the reason why Uni-

ty House sends its mem-bers into the public to lead discussions. Gene felt that sometimes people treat the mentally ill differently. But he said the HEROES panel gives new insight to the public. “The more we go around talking to people, I feel like it’s starting to change,” Gene said. He also named educa-tion as an important tool to eliminate stigma. “It’s not as much a stigma as it used to be,” Kathy, an-other panelist, said. “Now it’s like I’m free to talk about it.”

Music Stand

Leaving a legacy, missing an icon

Music lost an icon Sept. 16 with the death of Mary Travers from the trio “Peter, Paul and Mary.” Now you may be asking yourself why should you care that a folk musician from the 1960s has died? With serene songs that we now associate with drugs and the hippie movement, they pro-tested the Vietnam War and brought to light social issues we would have been happier as a country to sweep under the rug. Their songs captured succinctly the angst of the era and the profound hypocrisy of

racial discrimination as well. How many of us sang or still hum “Puff, the Magic Dragon?” The song about the loss of childhood innocence resonates in people today and remains be-loved by children. “Leaving On a Jet Plane” remains a tranquil song of coping with, moving on or losing loved ones as they fly off to something else. The band recorded at least four Bob Dylan songs and their success with his songs such as “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright” allowed the singer/poet to fi-nally reach success with his own albums. Their renditions of his songs let people finally recog-

nize Dylan’s brilliance and get beyond his “original” voice. It is perhaps for the Dylan songs that I will remember the trio most. Born well after the sixties, I cannot relate to the turmoil and my recollections of the Vietnam era are limited to what my parents and teachers thought and felt about this war, but still the lyrics speak to me. The philosophical “Blowin’ In the Wind” that questions the nature of war and peace, but never offers any answers and haunts listeners. “Yes, ‘n’ how many deaths will it take ‘til he knows/That too many people have died?/The answer, my

friend, is blowin’ in the wind/The answer is blowin’ in the wind.” The answer is left elusive like the wind, for me. And my favorite, no mat-ter the singer, “The Times They Are a-Changin.’” An anthem for racism, poverty, discrimina-tion, and a wake-up call for the “them;” you know the pinhead-ed bureaucrats who were keep-ing the country in the 1940s. The lyrics call for action and as a song of protest it still delivers today. Music lost a voices for activ-ism last month and to fill the void left behind all we have is “blowin’ in the wind.”

No doubt you followed the steps in last week’s piece on how to be on reality television, and no doubt it worked. So you made it this far, but how do you stay on top? How do you keep your spot as the “numero uno” attraction on reality TV? It won’t be easy, but this will make it easier if you simply follow these steps provid-ed by us at the 15th Street News. 1.) Know the game. You might ask yourself, well, what does that mean? Since last week’s guide

pretty much promised you the reality show of your choosing (assuming you followed all the steps), then it might be difficult to remember which reality show you’ve landed. Let’s face it. You’ve been inundated. Whether it be Survivor, American Idol, or Big Brother, it’s important you fol-low the absurdist rules of the particular television show. After all, you’re in it to win it, right? Now we could discuss strategy, but you’re way too smart for that ,so without further adieu, here’s the next step.

2.) Crush the competition. Well, duh, you could be think-ing. “I already knew that!” But did you? Did you really? Do you realize how important backstab-bing has become to the Ameri-can culture? Now we want you to think of the worst thing you could do to a person, a close friend even, and we want you to do ten times worst than that to your fellow contestants on TV. If you don’t have the heart, then you might as well fold up this newspaper and put it away because there’s no way you’ll sur-

vive step three. 3.) Sell your soul to Satan. This may not seem very practical. At least not at first. But how do you think the thousands before you survived their time on reality television? Well, yeah. They sold their soul to Satan. Now that you’re informed—once again—with a sure fire for-mula to success—once again—go out into the real world, which is reality television, and be some-body. And next week, be here for how to win your soul back from Satan.

All right, I know we are all in college, but let us go back to el-ementary school for a moment. Why, you may ask? Because it is an emergency. Here is a quick spelling guide whether it is for your English paper, a D2L post, or a Facebook status because it’s unfathomable to be at the college level and not know the difference between to, too, and two. To: is a preposition used for a phrase such as “I am going to the store,” not “I am eating lunch to!”

Too: is an adverb used for a phrase meaning in addition to or also such as “I am eating lunch too!” Two: means more than one and less than three. That’s its only meaning. For example, “I had two sandwiches for lunch.” Another amazing invention at your disposal is SPELL CHECK!! There is a spell check feature in both Microsoft Word AND D2L. Again, it is not hard to let the computer make that extra sweep before you post or

print. Realize, though, that spell check is not perfect. It won’t catch everything, so be proactive when presenting your work. (It especially will not catch hom-onyms). Now you may be saying, “Why the heck does it mat-ter? People know what I’m talk-ing about. I’ve made it this far.” While all that may be well and good, you only do your-self a disservice when you post on D2L or Facebook something that’s misspelled and someone

has posted right above you the same thing…SPELLED COR-RECTLY! Last example: “I wuld not like realy too haf to come to this meetin because idk. The postion it puts me in dosent work for me it wuldnt be beneficalfor me.” And what does this mean? If you know what this means, you are a prime candidate for spell check because the rest of us have no idea.

FAMILY MATTERS: Domestic Violence Shatters Lives

Visual Display Project: An Educational Representation on Domestic Violence

The Visual Display Project is an opportunity for students to share their interpretations of domestic violence and to disseminate information on this topic. The competition will consist of visual displays of students’ research and interpreta-tions. The visual project may be a poster or a three dimen-sional presentation.

DEADLINE for submission is 4:00p.m. Oct. 16. Submit to Social Sciences Division Office, SS 108 or Spe-cial Services & Student Outreach SSB 101. Projects will be displayed in the Social Sciences building until judging on October 30th. A $100 cash award will be given to the 1st Place Winner and a $50 cash award will be given to the Student’s Choice Winner.

General Suggestions for Developing an

Effective Poster/Project

1. Design a visual poster/project that contains key compo-nents of your topic. Prepare a sign for the top of your post-

er board (these usually run the length of the board) with

large clear font/lettering. Use block lettering and large print as the poster

may be viewed from 3 to 5 feet

away.

2. Keep il-lustrative ma-terial simple in charts and

diagrams. Use matte finish for photographs to reduce glare.

3. Make proj-ects as self-

explanatory as possible.

4. Complete registration form and turn in with your proj-

ect.

CELEBRATING LATINO HERI-TAGE - Actress Desiree Rodriguez portrays three of the most important women in Latin American history dur-ing the musical performance of “Tres Vidas.” The show has been touring for less than two weeks this season, but has been performed for 8 years. Tres Vidas celebrates the lives and work of Frida Kahlo of Mexico, Rufina Amaya of El Salvador and Al-fonsina Storni of Argentina by pre-senting scenes from their sometimes tumultuous lives. The three unconven-tional women’s stories are emotionally charged and demonstrate the power of

The Office of Job Placement and Career Services, located in Room 106 of the Student Services build-ing, offers all its services for free to students and the public, coordina-tor Connie Myrick said. All of its software services are Internet based and available 24/7. This final part in a four part series focuses on ad-vice the office offers to those going to a career fair. “First and foremost, you have a resume ready, and you have to dress like you’re going to a job interview because some of the companies are looking to hire on the spot,” Bill Stephenson, job placement specialist said. Stephenson said to bring at least 20 copies of your resume. “I think the best advice for dressing, for men and women

both…is to dress conservatively,” Stephenson said. “A good rule of thumb is to know what the workers wear in that field, and dress one level up,” Stephenson said. “No perfume, no gum, no smoking,” Myrick added. Stephenson said why no per-fume is that a third of the popu-lation is allergic to perfume. Stephenson said personally, he would see how potential employ-ers treat those seeking jobs to get a feel for whether or not the position would be right. As far as how to act at a ca-reer fair, Stephenson offers this advice. “Break out your manners,” Ste-phenson said. While not always the case, Stephenson said he’s seen people walk into a career fair and walk out with a job on the spot.

Dr. Steven Agee, chairman of the board of the Oklahoma City branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, strongly suggested the recession was over, during his lecture Thursday, Sept. 24 in the RSC Lecture Hall as part of the Great Issues Lecture series. Agee, who also teaches econom-ics at Oklahoma City University, qualified this statement by say-ing the U.S. wouldn’t know for sure until the National Bureau of Economic Research looks at all the data and makes an an-nouncement. This always hap-pens a few years after the fact, according to Agee, but his “pre-diction” was the bureau would eventually state Aug. 2009 or Sept. 2009 as the end of the greatest recession since World War II. A recession happens when the Gross Domestic Product falls two consecutive quarters. Agee said with the numbers he’s seen, we can expect growth in the third

quarter of 2009. Agee explained the onset of the recession. Basi-cally, millions of people took on mortgages for houses they couldn’t afford, which led to mil-lions of foreclo-sures and the fall of several finan-cial institutions, Agee said. Often, people who took on these loans were only paying interest, not the principal—the cost of the house without interest or revenue—and then expecting to sell the houses for a profit when the value of the house rose. The problem was the housing indus-try collapsed, Agee said, and the banks never got their money. “It’s like a pyramid scheme,” Agee said. “We are still in that

mess.” Agee said at the heart of the matter, to make sure a situation like this never arises again, the mortgage industry needs better supervision. The market, however, is “try-ing to find an equilibrium,” Agee said.

Nick Huckleberry, liberal stud-ies major, attended the lecture for credit in his philosophy course. He said he came to learn more about the topic at hand. “I try not to have an opinion,” he said. “It’s a little bit over my head.”

The script was written by Marjorie Agosin with music composed by Astor Piazzolla, Orlando Garcia, Pablo Ortiz, Alice Gomez, Carlos Sanchez-Gutier-rez, Michael DeMurgo, and Osvaldo Golijov. Since its premier in 1993, the play has been performed in several countries around the world and has won several awards.

Senator Michael Neary pre-sented Resolution number 001 to the Student Senate on Tues-day, Sept. 29. This Resolution called for placing “suggestion boxes” in nine buildings around the campus. “I’ve already talked to the Deans of Wellness and Humani-ties and they approve,” said Neri. “ The goal is to bring ideas from the students to the student sena-tors.” During the discussion for resolution 001, Senator LaTa-sha Bruner offered a little more background on the history of RSC suggestions. “I was on the Suggestion Box Committee last year,” said Brun-er. “We already have four boxes in existence.” According to Bruner, these boxes are located in Student Ser-vices, the Business building, So-cial Sciences building and Hu-manities building. “[RSC] already has sugges-tion boxes…let’s suggest an on-line system,” said Senator Robbie Barthel. “As long as we can get the ad-vertising out there…we can get [the students] in,” said Neary. The legislation failed on a unanimous vote.
