Tornado strikes, Sooner spirit remains in tactPAIGHTEN HARKINSCampus Editor

Overnight, the south side of campus that normally houses OU students became a temporary home for hundreds of people dis-placed by the tornadoes that sliced through central Oklahoma on Monday.

On its first night of operation as a tempo-rary shelter, Walker Center housed 101 peo-ple, including four National Guard mem-bers, said Catherine Bishop, vice president of Public Affairs, in an email.

After spending the night, individuals were given meals at Couch Restaurants, which was open throughout the day as a common area,

and access to other resources, like a counseling service, Bishop said.

As well, laptop stations have been set up for individuals who need Internet access, and OU em-ployees are helping with activities to keep children entertained, such as games and movies, Bishop said.

The Brown family was displaced from their home during the pro-cess of moving when the tornadoes tore through Moore, mother of two Melisa Brown said.

The family was living with Melisa’s mother when the torna-do hit, after moving from their old home. During the storm, Brown huddled in a storm shelter with about 15 other people. When she emerged from the shelter, her mother’s house was gone.

While their old house is still standing, it’s without electricity and gas. That’s what brought the family to OU, she said.

“It feels like home,” Brown said, comment-ing on the hospitality she’s received since coming to stay at OU.

Brown didn’t know how long she and her family plan to stay in the residence halls.

In Walker Center, donations of things like soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bottled water and diapers have been rolling in all day, vol-unteer Kate Bernard said.

For one volunteer, the outpour of support from the Norman community has proven the giving na-ture of Oklahomans and people in general.

“It reaffirms my faith in humanity, personally,”

said Ryne Young, Housing and Food market-ing intern.

“It goes to show how true American spir-it is — and Oklahoma spirit. That is how Oklahoma is.”

Young worked all day Tuesday to take in-ventory and make room for the incoming do-nations, he said.

“I feel like Walmart right now,” Young said.Despite the donations, victims are lacking

female hygiene products, infant formula and allergy and cold medicine, Bernard said.

Donations brought to Walker Center will be used to help families in the residence halls.

In the wake of a strong, destructive tornado that flat-tened neighborhoods and homes, officials from the OU Police Department and Norman Fire Department stress the importance of taking storm precautions.

The most important thing to do during severe weather is to pay attention, wheth-er it be to the radio or the TV, Norman Fire Chief James Fullingham said.

One of the best ways t o d o t h a t i s w i t h a weather radio, which makes a noise like an alarm clock when severe weather warnings are is-sued, he said.

“ W h e n y o u g e t w a r n e d — y o u h e a r the sirens go off — it’s not time to go outside and look at the sky; you need to be in a shelter,” Fullingham said.

Once you’re indoors, the safest places to go are the lowest lev-els of buildings, may i t be a

basement or first floor, and in the inner most interior space without windows, OUPD spokesman Lt. Bruce Chan said.

While you shouldn’t leave a building once sirens go off, if you need a safe place to go during a storm, the rec-ommended refuge areas on campus are the Bizzell Memorial Library, the Physical Sciences Center and the res-idence halls that have basements, he said.

For students living in apartments, they should seek shelter in a bot-tom-level apartment, Fullingham said.

“If you’re in an apartment building, make friends with the people downstairs,” he said.

National championship or bust for this year’s Sooner squadCOLUMN

ASTRUD REED/THE DAILY

The No. 1 Sooners allowed only six runs in their three regional games against Marist and Arkansas. The Sooners are turn-

ing heads, run rul-ing postseason op-

ponents, dominating their sport and having a good time doing it. The No. 1 Oklahoma softball team is on a collision course to bring home its sec-ond national title in school history.

This isn’t a surprising

Joe Mussattojmussatto@ou.edu

SOFTBALL BEAT WRITER development or breaking news, but something that has culminated throughout the spring and now into the summer. After losing the final game in last year’s Women’s C o l l e g e Wo r l d S e r i e s , Oklahoma (50-4) is the favor-ite to win it all in 2013.

OU began the postseason by rolling over its regional opponents this past weekend by a combined score of 41-6.

“They won’t say they know that they’re good, but they know they’re good,” coach Patty Gasso said follow-ing her team’s regional win Saturday.

S o p h o m o r e L a u r e n Chamberlain, OU’s lead-off hitter, is the driving force

behind the Sooners’ starting lineup that features eight hit-ters with an average north of .300. The only starter hit-ting below that mark is se-nior Jessica Shults — team

captain, All-American and OU’s all-time career home run leader.

Chamberlain, who’s hit-ting .459 with 27 homers, is one of three National

Player of the Year finalists on Gasso’s squad. Let me repeat that incredible fact: Of the 10 finalists for softball’s ultimate individual award, three wear crimson and cream.

OU ’s other two f inal-ists have a lot in common. Both are senior pitchers, lef t-handed and nearly unbeatable.

Keilani Ricketts (29-1), last year’s winner of the honor, and Michelle Gascoigne (18-3) have shut down the opposition throughout their career, and nothing has changed in 2013.

If the Sooners don’t re-turn to the WCWS, if they don’t win, the season is a disappointment.

It’s national title or bust for the Sooners.

Set the soundtrack to your summer with our “Summer Thangs” playlist on Spotify. Follow the Daily Arts account to access all Life & Arts playlists.

The spring semester is finally over and now the sum-mer relaxation period begins. Students, faculty and staff may have plans for this summer, but if you’re

like me, you’re looking forward to some of television’s hot-test shows hitting the airwaves again. Both new and return-ing shows will have you glued to your TV and avoiding the inevitable heat this summer.

Sadly, TV shows can’t last forever, and two shows are making their final return to TV this summer. Showtime’s “Dexter” and AMC’s “Breaking Bad” will conclude after this season. However, there are some new shows that look some-what promising and will have their premieres this summer.

When I first saw the preview for ABC’s “Mistresses,” I sim-ply thought it was another attempt to cast a well-known ac-tress — Alyssa Milano (“Charmed”) — as the lead and hope she could carry the weight of making the show successful. However, after I saw the first season’s trailer again, I changed my mind.

The show follows four friends as they struggle with their relationships, each in their own ways, but what complicates things is when we learn they are mistresses. Being the ille-gitimate girlfriend of an already married man complicates things, and for this reason, I think the show will make this summer extra hot.

Mistresses premieres at 9 p.m., June 3 on ABC.

Making its final return to television for its eighth sea-

son, “Dexter” returns this summer for what many believe will be a bloody finale to one of the best shows in recent years. After finding out about Dexter’s (Micheal C. Hall) secret in last season’s finale, his step-sister, Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) is conflicted and doesn’t know what to do with her newfound information about her brother. How will she live with knowing what her step-brother has done? Can Dexter make it through the final season without being ousted or caught?

Tune in at 8 p.m., June 30 on Showtime to find out.
