Guest commentary: Others deserve shot at sports
Jan. 28, 2007I was just made aware that OU has cut the men's outdoor/indoor track and field program. I am in absolute shock. I have heard of this happening at other smaller schools, but I would have never guessed it would or could happen at my alma mater. Ever since I graduated, I have tried to come back every year and take in a track meet. Because of the track team, I didn't feel a need to be a part of the crowd or a sorority or any sort of group to make myself feel a part of. Track and field gave me a real sense of self-worth. I was fine being a strong individual. It instilled in me real confidence where there was none, and over the years it has grown. I was lucky to be an integral part of a MAC Championship team and every time I look at my ring, to this day, I feel love for the coaches, the team and OU. Other kids deserve to get a chance at what I had. Track and field is needed at OU ... both the women's and the men's.

Jan. 28, 2007LUMA, a show that uses LED lights, color mixing and remote controlled props while being performed in the dark, will be performed tonight at Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium. The performance is a special add-on show for the Performing Arts Series in an effort to appeal to a broader audience, said Andrew Holzaepfel, associate director of the Office of University Events.

The high contrast of light and dark will make the show enjoyable for the visually impaired, said Marlin, a former juggler who created the show in 1999.
