EmmA HAmBliNCampus Reporter

T h e U O S A E x e c u t i v e Branch was sent a notice for violating student govern-ment rules on advertising the offices of student elec-tion chairman and election board.

T h e U O S A G e n e r a l Counsel released an opin-ion after a UOSA Graduate Student Senator pointed

out that the election legis-lation regarding the hiring of the election chairman and election board was not handled in a timely fashion. Senate Chairman James Cook brought the claims to the general counsel, which included the selection of the election chairman and poll locations by the deadline, the questioning of the elec-tion board members and whether the positions were advertised correctly.

The counsel’s opinion stated even though elec-tion chairman legislation

was approved after dead-l i n e, i t w a s d o n e s o by Undergraduate Student Congress and Senate, which implicitly waived the dead-line, according to the opin-ion. The counsel also said the Senate knowingly waived its right to question the elec-tion board members. The only problem counsel found was that the UOSA Executive Branch violated the Code Annotated by not advertis-ing the election positions to the full extent required by the code.

Unless new facts come to

light that warrant further ac-tion as outlined under Title III of the code, the notice is as far as the counsel will take the measure at this time.

It was brought to the Senate’s attention that the election legislation was not presented in a timely fash-ion, and this concerned some of the senators, Cook said.

Presenting these concerns to the counsel was not so much a check on the student body president as it was on UOSA as a whole and ensur-ing that every OU student’s

right to a transparent elec-tion was met, Cook said.

“The fact is, we’re going to have an election that has been approved by the General Counsel,” Cook said.

However, any OU student has the right to file for an ap-peal to the counsel’s opin-ion, which means it would be taken to the Superior Court.

While students rush to polls to vote for the next U.S. president, they also have the chance to vote on three initiatives involving OU student government and student life.

The UOSA fall elections take place during the same week every year, and many years they happen to fall on the same day as the presidential elections, as it did this year, said UOSA President Joe Sangirardi.

At this year’s fall UOSA elections, students can vote on two referendums and one question, Sangirardi said.

One referendum would change the name of the University of Oklahoma Student Association to the Student Government Association, and another would change the UOSA presidential term from a year starting in the spring to a year starting in the fall , Sangirardi said.

Staff Reports

Early voters flock to polling stations

ARiANNA PickARD Campus Reporter

A steady line of voters has crowded the Cleveland C ou nt y E l e c t i o n B o a rd Office for three days to vote early for this year’s election.

A n e s t i m a t e d 6 , 4 0 0 Cleveland County resi-dents will have voted early in this year’s election, said Jim Williams, the executive secretary for the Cleveland County Election Board. This is more than the 6,000 early votes during the 2008 elec-tion, Williams said.

This year’s early voters make up about 4.3 percent of Cleveland County’s 150,000 registered voters.

“The line has remained continuous every day from open to close,” Williams said.

Early voting began Friday, and the office was open

SQ 758

Lowered tax cap slows rate of increase of revenuecHElSEy kRAfTFor the oklahoma Daily

Oklahomans will cast their votes Tuesday on a state question that would change the cap on increases of real property taxes for some property from 5 percent to 3 percent.

The state constitution states the fair cash value of property cannot increase by more than 5 percent in any taxable year. If State Question 758 passes, the cap on property will decrease to 3 percent for some property, in-cluding homestead-exempted property and agricultural land.

Rep. Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, said he supports this measure. Because property taxes are a rare area in public policy where homeowners receive a tax increase without being able to vote on the increase, he said he has seen homeowners in his district frustrat-ed by rising property taxation levels.

This is especially true for senior citizens, who often are on a fixed income, Murphey said. If the measure passes, property owners should not see their property taxes double for about 25 years, he said.

Opponents of the measure say voting for this measure will deprive public school dis-tricts and other common education entities of revenue.

Steven Crawford, executive director of the Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration, said the council opposes the measure because it will negatively impact the revenue stream for public education.

“The real issue is taking money away from school districts that are already struggling to make ends meet based on the last recession,” Crawford said.

Murphey said this is not the case.“It is not taking out revenue from any enti-

ties,” Murphey said. “It is simply slowing the rate of increase of revenue, not lowering taxa-tion — just the cap — so that taxes don’t in-crease more than the rate of inflation.”

However, the Oklahoma Tax Commission estimates the state question would have a $6.5 million statewide fiscal impact, accord-ing to the school administration council’s website. Public schools would lose $4.225 million in growth revenue, according to the website.

A lowered cap would impact other entities as well, such as county government, Crawford said.

through Saturday to accom-modate the 3,600 votes over the two days, Williams said.

The election board also has mailed out more than 6,000 absentee bal lots, Williams said. Wednesday was the deadline to request a mail ballot, and the board has been getting about 200 returned voter ballots per day since Friday.

There are no special pro-cedures or advance notice required for early voting, Williams said. Registered voters only have to bring their IDs to the Election Board Office and fill out a short form to vote early.

The main reason people might want to vote early is to avoid lines at their polling locations during election day, Williams said.

Unfortunately, early voters may have found themselves in line longer than they ex-pected for early voting.

Multidisciplinary stud-ies senior Samantha Carper said she had planned on vot-ing early until a co-worker told her the wait time was nearly two and a half hours. Because she thought the

wait time would be shorter, Carper said she decided to wait to vote on Election Day when she could allot more time to wait in line.

There are 95 polling loca-tions in Cleveland county for this year’s elections, accord-ing to the Cleveland County Election Board website.

The Election Board Office is more equipped to handle a high traffic of voters than the polling locations, Williams said.

“Typically, the busiest voting times are first thing in the morning and right after work, but in early voting it hasn’t made a difference

– all day there’s been a line outside,” Williams said.

that Congress had included in its election regulations — that chalking had to be done and posters had to be hung by a certain date.

In order for chalking and hanging posters to have been done exactly when they were supposed to, it would have invalidated all of the inter-views that already had been conducted and the process for assembling an election board would have had to

be completely redone. This would have meant the elec-tions would be postponed and rescheduled for a later date, Sangirardi said.

“Honestly, I have labori-ously worked this year to be open,” Sangirardi said.

If anyone has had a prob-lem, communication has been a high priority so the situation could be fixed as soon as possible, Sangirardi said.

A s U O S A p r e s i d e n t , Sangirardi is responsible for appointing an election

chair — Cole Jackson — who must be confirmed by Undergraduate Student Congress and Graduate Student Senate. The election chair must then conduct interviews for the election board. Once the election chair has chosen the elec-tion board, legislation is put forward to confirm them. If someone comes forward and says the election board hasn’t been assembled prop-erly, then the counsel has to take over, Sangirardi said.

But, the counsel decided

not to take control of the elections, and everything should proceed as intended Tuesday. Despite all of the confusion, Sangirardi said he is excited for the elections.

“I encourage everyone to go out and vote,” Sangirardi said.

State QueStion 759

Affirmative action supports equal opportunity

mikE woRmlEyCampus Reporter

W h i l e t h e S u p r e m e Cour t weighs in on the use of affirmative action in the admissions process at the University of Texas, Oklahoma voters will have the opportunity to weigh in on the use of affirmative action in the state’s em-ployment, education and contracting.

State Question No. 759 would ban the practice of affirmative action, except in certain defined excep-tions, by adding Section 36 to Article II, according to the referendum.

Suppor ters of S Q 759 believe affirmative action no longer is needed to en-sure equal opportunity in Oklahoma, would save tax-payer dollars by removing race or gender quotas from non-federally funded jobs

allowing for lower bids, ac-cording to the League of Women Voters voting guide.

Opponents, however, be-lieve that in states that have banned affirmative action, minorities and women have seen reductions in hiring for managerial positions, con-struction awards, and admis-sions to graduate schools, according to the guide.

“We are very much against this and are recommending a no vote on State Question 759,” said Wallace Collins, the Oklahoma Democratic Party chairman. “We be-lieve that affirmative action means equal opportunity, while the Republicans see it as quotas.”

Collins said Republicans in the legislature already have eliminated committees and commissions that give minorities a voice, such as the Native American Affairs Committee and the Human Rights Commission, and that one effect this strain on mi-norities would lead to a less-ening of the general standard of living for Oklahomans.

“They were careful with the wording in the phravse not giving preferential treat-ment.” Collins said. This means that it could extend to veterans and the elderly he said. “If you read the law the only segment of society that gets preference is veterans.”

Political science junior

Kenneth Meador said he op-poses the state question be-cause there still are income and college education dis-parities between whites and minorities, as well as dispar-ities between the genders.

“There will be a time when [getting rid of affirmative ac-tion] is necessary,” Meador said. “But it has the potential of getting rid of the Veterans preference in employment, which could be an unin-tended consequence of this legislation.”

The Oklahoma Republican Party could not be reached at the time of this publication.

Our View: Your vote can matter. Use it.

Today is the day.Today, you have a chance to take part in every

level of representative democracy available to you — from the university elections to the national races. Today, you can help determine the future of UOSA, Norman, Oklahoma and the entire country.

We cannot stress often or emphatically enough what an awesome power this is. This choice is more than a civic duty; it is a significant privilege.

But, as we all know, with great power comes great responsibility. It’s easy to become disenchanted with the entire system when it feels like your vote doesn’t matter, like your choice won’t effect the outcome or like few people (maybe yourself included) really understand the issues they’re voting on. But you can fight this disenchantment.

Some criticisms of the American democratic system are valid, of course. The Electoral College sys-tem reduces the impact of indi-vidual votes in non-swing states. Many citizens vote straight party — or even go into the booth with no knowledge about some races. And

there’s a strong feeling that no matter which party takes office, the political system will remain largely unchanged.

None of that means you get a free pass today. There are some simple steps you can take to ensure

your vote has the most impact.Be educated. It doesn’t help anybody to vote

just for the sake of voting. The point is to make an informed vote for the best candidates and refer-endums. A quick Google search will help you find a sample ballot for your precinct and information about state and local races. You can find our past editorials detailing all of today’s races at OUDaily.com/opinion.

Forget the president. Yes, it’s the race with the widest impact and the one with the clearest stakes. It’s also likely all you’ve heard about for weeks. And it’s worth your careful vote. But it’s not where your vote truly has an impact. Focus on the state and local races if you want to see your vote matter and have a real impact on your community.

Think local — like on the South Oval. Though student leaders barely have mentioned it, UOSA is in fact holding elections today and Wednesday. You can vote in various polling locations acoss campus and at elections.ou.edu.

Don’t stop at voting. When the election is over, don’t forget about these important issues that have so divided the country and your community for the last few months. As important as it is, voting is just one small action you can take to make this university, this state and this country better.

So, Wednesday morning, be ready to wake up and take another small step toward real change.

Comment on this on OUDaily.com

UOSA President and Vice President Term Referendum

This proposal would move the UOSA presidential elec-tion to the fall.

Supporters argued this change would give UOSA presi-dents more time to prepare and gather a cabinet, without the void of summer.

But electing the president in the fall would mean the term would begin in the spring. This would put UOSA on a different calendar than other students and, most impor-tantly, other student groups. This would make it more dif-ficult for students to work with UOSA.

You can read the full text of our original editorial on this issue at OUDaily.com.

Student Government Association Referendum

“Shall the ‘University of Oklahoma Student Association’ (UOSA) adopt ‘Student Government Association’ (SGA) as its new name?”

This change was proposed to make the purpose of UOSA more clear. This will help in UOSA efforts to reach out to students and get them more involved, as well as making it easier for the organization to work with other student gov-ernments across the country. It will bring UOSA in-line with other such groups in the Big 12 and elsewhere.

These benefits are well worth any costs accrued — es-pecially if UOSA takes this opportunity to help more stu-dents understand its role on campus.

Huston Huffman Renovation Question“Would you support an expansion of the Huston

Huffman Fitness Center using funds accrued over time from the Student Activity Fee?”

It’s our job to closely follow UOSA’s activities and what will be on the ballot each semester, and even we don’t know enough about this proposal to come to a decision.

Though students have no way of knowing, this proposal would use bond funds already set aside to accomplish un-specified expansions to the fitness center.

But how much will the expansion cost? What will it entail? And what other options are there for using this funding?

UOSA failed to advertise this election and give students the information necessary for an informed decision.

eDiTOriAL

it’s finally time — vote todayThere is a referendum on the ballot today and

Wednesday asking members of University of Oklahoma Student Association — the student body — to change its name to the Student Government Association. You should vote against this proposal for three reasons: unnecessary cost, limited benefits and a misleading message.

Many of those in favor of the proposal say chang-ing the name will not cost students because neces-sary expenses will be taken from a pre-existing adver-tising budget. This notion is misguided because the cost associated with this deci-sion is whatever that money could have been spent on,

such as familiarizing students with UOSA. The benefits of a name change are nearly nonexistent.

The opposition claims that the new name will make UOSA more visible and accessible — that students aren’t involved in student government because they don’t know what UOSA is. In reality, students don’t know what UOSA is be-cause they don’t care, not the other way around. Interested students already know what it is. A Google search of “OU student government” will tell you why.

The proposed name mislabels what UOSA is. UOSA is a group to which every student belongs. By its inclusive na-ture, it is responsible for governance. The proposed name change suggests an organization only for students inter-ested in governing. Maintain the idea of UOSA as a society of all that governs, not a group that governs all.

Tyrus Ernst, economics and letters junior

State QueStion 762

Parol delays cost Oklahoma millions of dollars RAcHEl TERRyFor the oklahoma Daily

Oklahomans will have the opportunity to decide wheth-er to remove the governor from the state’s pardon and parole process Tuesday with State Question 762.

The current process of the Pardon and Parole Board re-quires the signature of the governor for approval of a per-son’s parole. Oklahoma is the only state in the nation that still involves the governor in the parole process.

“It’s an inefficient, costly, time-consuming process that takes the governor’s time away from other issues and eats up resources that could be used for fighting crime,” said House Speaker Kris Steele, R-Shawnee.

Approving SQ 762 could save taxpayers millions of dol-lars, which could be invested in initiatives to prevent crime, Steele said.

“A 2 0 0 7 a u d i t o f t h e Department of Corrections found that millions of dollars are lost every year to parole delays caused by requiring the governor to review each and every nonviolent parole,” Steele said.

Because the overwhelming majority of these nonviolent offenders are released, the money could be better spent elsewhere, Steele said.

Those opposed to SQ 762 — including Gov. Mary Fallin and Norman District Attorney Greg Mashburn — say it would remove the pa-role board’s accountability.

Taking the governor out of the process would take away the accountability of the system, Mashburn said in an interview with The Norman Transcript.

Fallin said she still agrees with the concept of the bill but has some concerns because it would not take into account the offender’s past crimes, which may be violent, according to a story in The Durant Daily Democrat. Fallin said that while she has been in of-fice, she has denied parole for 437 offenders who likely would have been granted parole by the board.

Steele said the parole process would not be any different than it is in other states.

“The parole board would be the check and bal-ance, just as it is in 49 other states,” he said. “For a non-violent offender, everything would work just like it does today — only the governor wouldn’t have to sign off on the parole once the board has made its decision.”

Steele said the governor will always have a say in parole board operations, as it is part of the executive branch and its board mem-bers are appointed by the governor.

State QueStion 764

State government would refurbish drinking waterZAc SmiTHFor the oklahoma Daily

Oklahomans w il l vote Tuesday on a measure that would allow the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to issue more bonds in order to fund the improvement of local water systems.

If approved, State Question 764 would amend the state constitution to permit the Oklahoma Water Resources Board the ability to issue an addtional $300 million in gen-eral obligation bonds. These bonds would create a reserve fund in order to buffer against defaults on loans issued by the board to local governments.

This would allow local gov-ernments around the state to expand and refurbish their

drinking water and sew-age systems, according to an Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce report.

The costs of expanding and maintaining Oklahoma’s drinking water and sewage systems probably will exceed $80 billion over the next 50 years, said Fred S. Morgan, president and chief operat-ing officer of the chamber, in a press release.

The measure also is sup-ported by the Oklahoma Mu n i c i p a l L e a g u e , t h e O k l a h o m a R u r a l Wa t e r Association and Oklahoma Farm Bureau, according to chamber documents.

The board has issued more than $2.5 billion in these types of loans since 1985 and has experienced only a handful of defaults, according to the re-port. This program has saved taxpayers more than $900 mil-lion, according to Yes on 764, an Oklahoma City-based ad-vocacy group associated with the chamber that supports the

bill.This history of stability

demonstrates that the risk of expanding the board’s bond program is insignificant, said Joe Freeman, chief of the board’s Financial Assistance Division. Taxpayers will incur extra cost if a loan recipient defaults and the board simul-taneously exhausts its other funding, which never has hap-pened, Freeman said.

The drinking water project costs are expected to rise by $8.2 billion, and wastewater project costs are expected to rise by $12.7 billion, accord-ing to Yes on 764.

Approximately $20.9 billion in additional costs will fall on local communities if the mea-sure is not passed, according

to the report.H o w e v e r, R e p. J a s o n

Murphey, R-Guthrie, criti-cized the measure, saying that even a small risk is too much.

“The point that there have been relatively few defaults is well-taken, but a single major default could hurt the whole state’s fiscal position,” Murphey said. “By increas-ing the amount of debt the Oklahoma Water Resources Board can issue, we increase liability for the taxpayer... This could potentially leave us with more bureaucracy and more debt... However, I think the odds are probably for it passing.”

State QueStion 765

Recent lawsuits against DHS led to proposed restructuring

AlExA youSSEfFor the oklahoma Daily

Oklahoma voters will decide Tuesday whether to grant the state legislature au-thority over the Department of Human Services.

State Question 765 would abol-ish the nine-member commission of the DHS — Oklahoma’s largest state

OUDaily.comto read all six stories about these state questions in their entirety, visit The Daily’s website.

agency — and replace it with four advi-sory boards that were approved in the last legislative session.

It would give the governor the au-thority to hire and fire the director of the DHS, and the legislature would have the ability to pass laws that would be en-forced by the DHS.

As Tuesday approaches, Rep. Jason Nelson, R-Oklahoma City, said he wants to make clear that if SQ 765 passes, DHS is not going to be abolished; however, the way it is being governed — with-out accountability to anyone — will be gone.

“The constitution says the entire op-eration of the Department of Human

Services is subject to the commission — not to the legislature, not the governor, not to anybody but the commission,” said Nelson, one of the state question’s authors.

He said the decision to propose the question and change governance of the DHS was motivated by the recent criticism of the DHS’s performance and three class-action lawsuits, which he said were unprecedented among state agencies.

Nelson said he had files in his office of cases involving children who were harmed or died under DHS care.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2012

There is a strong possibility that you might have to make a change in your fi eld of endeavor or an institution you’re associated with. If your moves are well thought out, however, they should prove to be benefi cial.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When it comes to career matters, what you know is of far greater importance than whom you know. Trade on your experience, knowledge and capabilities, not on your social contacts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful, because a friend’s well-meaning advice might be more emotional than practical. If you’re in dire need of good counsel, seek out the opinions of a pal with a level head.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Being a bit too susceptible to other people’s viewpoints could quickly get you off course. Instead of relying on other people’s opinions, follow your own logical evaluations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s OK to be as frank as possible when dealing with others who need the facts. The truth might be a trifl e abrasive, but turn out to be less harmful in the long run.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This could be a rather disruptive day, in which you might have to deal with more unexpected changes than usual. Deal with each crisis separately, and everything will be manageable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- When

you start to demand perfection from others, you had better be prepared to be fl awless yourself. Your slightest mistake will be held up to ridicule.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Several signifi cant objectives can be achieved if you have the necessary fi xity of purpose. However, in going about your business, you need to be careful that you don’t sacrifi ce effi ciency for speed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Guard against being overly possessive of friends and/or loved ones. Even if you are one of their favorites, they need the chance to socialize with all kinds of people, the same as you do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you plan to do a little shopping, take along one of your more tight-fi sted friends who can help you monitor any extravagant urges. You could be more impulsive than you realized.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When your decisions are based upon practical premises, your reasoning is usually sound and effective. Allow sentiment or emotion to dominate, however, and it could be another story.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Keep in mind that prices aren’t always carved in stone. If there is something you’d like to buy but you think is too expensive, don’t hesitate to haggle for a better deal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Make it a point to keep your nose out of a close friend’s commercial affairs unless you’re invited to do so. By the same token, don’t let anyone get in your business, either.

After last year’s defensive meltdown in a 45-38 loss, the Sooners’ defense is more motivated than ever to shutdown Baylor.

“Back in two-a-days, I used to watch the Baylor game every day,” senior safety Javon Harris said. “I know what happened. I lost my spot after this one. For me to come back where I’m at now and go into this game and prove people wrong, I’m really confident to go into this game.”

Against West Virginia earlier this season, he had 314 yards receiving on 17 catches, including a pair of touchdowns.

“The challenge is going to be there for me — slowing him down, kind of getting him out of his comfort zone and trying to get the other

guys (in the s e c o n d a r y ) to make plays also,” Hurst said. “So it’s a big game for both of us.”

OU looks to erase mistakes in second exhibition game

KeDric KitchensSports Editor

The Oklahoma women’s b a s k e t b a l l t e a m l o o k s to shore up the last of its weaknesses when it plays its final exhibition against Henderson State at 7 tonight at Lloyd Noble Center.

OU shined in its first ex-hibition, beating Oklahoma C h r i s t i a n , 1 1 8 - 5 3 , o n Thursday. The Sooners were led by juniors center Nicole Griffin and guard Morgan Hook, who scored 23 and 18 points, respectively.

The Sooners also got solid performances off their bench from their three newcomers: ju n i o r c o l l e g e t ra n s f e r forward Portia Durrett scored 16 points and freshman guards Maddie Manning and Nicole Kornet added a combined 23 points.

“I think I shot it fairly well in the beginning,” Kornet said. “I had a lot of fun just being out there with the girls and finally playing.”

The biggest, perhaps only, mistake made by Oklahoma in the contest was losing 22 turnovers, something coach Sherri Coale said she was not happy about.

“I don’t l ike those 22 turnovers, that’s the big thing,” Coale said.

Eight of the 22 turnovers came from Manning and Kornet, who at times, were sped up by their defenders and too out of control, Coale said.

Both players, however, said they knew what mistakes they made and could, and have, addressed them in practice.

“I think [turnovers] have to do with me squaring up to the basket and looking at what

“[All the mistakes of the game] are fixable things,” Kornet said. “We’ve worked on them in practice, and I think I’ll be alright.”

J u s t b e c a u s e B a y l o r no longer has Heisman-winning quarterback Robert Griffin III, don’t think the Bears have lost any of their punch offensively. They still have plenty of firepower.

“ T h e s y s t e m i s t h e same,” senior cornerback Demontre Hurst said. “They can put it in the air, and their quarterback can run just like RGIII did.”

“We just have to be on our high-horse and defend the passes and try to get the quarterback out of his comfor t zone and star t making him throw some bad passes.”

Despite losing Griffin to the NFL, Baylor boasts the nation’s top-ranked total offense and sixth-ranked scoring offense, averaging 581 yards and almost 44 points per game.

“They put a lot of pressure o n y o u r s e c o n d a r y ,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “They make you defend the field as well as anybody.”

And a large part of the Bears’ offensive production can be attributed to senior receiver Terrance Williams, who leads the country in receiving.

“He’s probably one of the best receivers in the whole nation,” Hurst said. “(I’ve) been watching him on film lately now, and he’s a good player. I can’t wait to get a

chance to go against him and go against him a lot.”

Musical theater senior Perry Sook takes on the iconic role of Shrek in “Shrek The Musical” in Alaska while taking off a year of school to pursue acting.

Student shows ogre layers in musicalA School of Musical Theatre student takes off year to let his freak flag flyErica LaubLife & Arts Reporter

Perry Sook, musical theater senior, is getting a jump-start on his stage acting career by going on tour with Dreamworks’ “Shrek The Musical” and starring in the show.

“Shrek The Musical” is the fairy tale of how an unseemly ogre shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a short temper and more than a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for an ogre of a hero.

Sook has been involved in numerous shows at OU and other venues, including “Oliver,” “Legally Blonde” and “Oklahoma!”

“From that training, I was very lucky to get summer employment at very reputable theaters after both my freshman and sophomore years.” Sook said.

Connections from other shows helped Sook land the role. “Someone who I was working with over the summer was

[cast] in the show,” Sook said. “I sent in my headshot and resumé and eventually asked to try out.”

After a round of callbacks with 50 other people, Sook made it to a callback with one other person. He got the job a week later.

“ P e r r y ’s s u c c e s s i s a c o m b i n a t i o n o f t a l e n t a n d t i m i n g ,” s a i d Pa u l Christman, director of OU’s Weitzenhoffer School of

Musical Theatre. “It’s an excellent opportunity for him to take on a lead role, tour the country and represent the OU School of Musical Theatre.”

While Sook was pleasantly surprised he got the role, he also faced a lot of rejection to get there.

“At any time you audition for a show, you are going to get turned down 90 times out of 100,” Sook said. “You’re never expecting to get it … you don’t ever expect anything to come of it because most of the time it won’t. It was such a surprise.”

Sook explained he always has loved music but didn’t know he would be able to do it as a way to make a living.

“I’ve been doing theater for as long as I can remember … I did my first show when I was 4 years old and have been doing it ever since,” Sook said. “I wasn’t always sure I wanted to do it as a career, but I always had fun with it … I had great high school teachers who pushed me in the right direction. Luckily, I got accepted into the OU School of Musical Theatre.”

With only 13 days of rehearsals, it was time to begin running the show — something to which Sook had to learn to adjust.

“It was a very abbreviated rehearsal process,” Sook said. “We rehearsed for nine days in New York and flew to Anchorage, Ala. Three days later, we opened. It was a huge change for me because I was used to getting at least a month and a half to rehearse for college shows.”

Sook undergoes a complete transformation to play Shrek. “It’s the best,” Sook said. “First of all, it’s a total body

transformation. Makeup is an hour and a half process. As far as physically goes, you’re unrecognizable from the chin up.”

Sook dons a fat suit and morphs into the green ogre. “Mentally, you’re playing an icon, and everyone knows

who you are,” Sook said. “Playing Shrek is a lot of responsibil-ity because people know who he is and what he is supposed to act like. It’s a battle balancing this figure that everyone knows and putting your own spin on it, making it your own performance.”

Even with the show running until next summer, Sook still plans to graduate from OU.

I’m getting paid to tell a story and bring enjoyment to other people,” he said. “I don’t really think of it as a job because I am doing what I love. When people are screaming and laughing, it’s a remarkable feeling. I can’t consider it work.”
