This is the third year since the concep-

there has not been a speaker. The Big
Event chair Leslie Litton said this year's
executive staff decided not to bring a
speaker.
“We felt like it would make it more
focused on community service." she said.

Christensen went from administrator to
administrator complaining about
1 ehman's actions and threatened to sue
both lehman and the university.
Grossman finished with six state-
ments about GSS and libel. His final
statement was that the truth will win
out in the end. The presentation
letter stated that the candidates tried to ended with applause from most sena-
manipulate the rules to their benefit.
Grossman went through the steps

“It was like a second chance, we were
going to start all over," Hammers said.
That excitement dimmed, however,
after he found out about the program-
ming error. 1 lammers said that he is not
resentful about the results.
“She deserves CAC chair, and 1 really
look forward to working with her."
Hammers said.
There was no programming glitch
in the UOSA president and vice presi-
dent elections, as Alex Yaffe and Mary'
Millben face Derrick Ott and Erin
Elder this week. Yaffe and Millben gar-
nered 1.646 votes, with Ott and Elder
in second with 1,137. Andrew
LeGrand and Julius Odom were in
third with 1,013 votes, 124 shy of Ott
and Elder. Ellis said LeGrand and
Odom will not be in a run-off despite
the close numbers.
The runoff elections will start at 9
a m. Wednesday and end at 9 p.m.
Thursday. Students can vote online at
elections.ou.edu.
"It (a speaker) was bringing negative
aspects to the event."
She said The Big Event had 500 more
volunteers this year than last year when
there was a speaker.
“People get excited'about it just for the
speaker. Without the speaker, you don't
focus on that,” she said.
Even though some sites were rained
out, Litton said The Big Event was still very
successful.
"1 think the best thing is it (was) pour-
cally what happened is that the formula
was faulty ," Ellis said.
Jonathon Lunardi, director of the
Sooner Information Network, said the
problem came down to a small mathe-
matical error.
“There was a small math error in the
computer program." Lunardi said. As a
result, it showed that there was a runoff
when Lindsay Raybum actually had 50
percent of the vote."
Not every one was immediately
happy with the change. On Friday,
Hammers arrived at the Conoco
Student Leadership Center to file an
appeal of the elections. Before the
appeal was officially filed. Hammers
had a meeting with Ellis to discuss the
results. Ellis said he explained to
Hammers why there was not going to
be a runoff. In turn, no appeal was filed
because of the cancellation of a runoff.
Hammers said he was excited about
the possibility of a runoff, calling it a
whole new election.

After the presentation, a resolution
requesting a feedback system for
graduate students was passed.
Brian Epperson, drama senator,
explained that the legislation would
promote a more developmental sys-
tem than the one currently in place.
“Evaluated feedback is what we
currently receive," Epperson said.
"Many of us just receive a yearly let-
ter telling us whether or not yve are
on course."
The proposal is intended to rec-
ommend a developmental feedback
system where graduate students
would, during the second semester
of their academic year, elicit perfor-
mance feedback by preparing a list of
accomplishments or activities and a
summary of comments, concerns or
questions.

began planning their journey. Faria had a job at a biotech
company and Kampf worked as a ski instructor.
Faria said they wanted to contribute, but did not have
much money because they were recent college graduates.
The goal is to show support for people living in New York
and to provide a way for people who do not live near New
York to contribute who felt isolated like Kampf and Faria.
Kampf and Faria have two other ways for Americans to
participate. /Mong their walk they ate carrying 4.000 minia-
ture American flags. At the end of their journey, they will give

The walk is also raising money for a scholarship fund
that will support the education of Sept. 11 victims
dependents. The money raised will be consolidated with
other Sept. 11 scholarship funds.
They will also make the flags and scholarship money
available to victims of the Alfred R Murrah Building
bombing and other terrorist attacks. Their walk is not just
to memorialize the victims of Sept. 11 but all /American
victims of terrorism. Kampf said.
So far, they have raised more than SI0,000. Their goal
is to raise $30,000.
They have already walked 1,400 miles through five
states, they walk about 15 to 20 miles a day. Their entire
trip will be 3,481 miles.
/Mong their route, people join them to walk a few miles.
Sometimes, like Saturday, their friends join the walk.
Saturday they were joined by friends from Washington,
D.C., and two Oklahomans whose church was near the
Murrah building. Bob and Marcia long met Kampf and
Faria through their son who attends Johns Hopkins
University. They helped the friends while they were in
Oklahoma and gave Kampf his first change of clothes.

"Once you strip away all the details of daily life, you are
left with time to think and put things in order." Faria said.
Kampf and Faria sleep along the side of the road or
where ever they stop. A few times in Texas, they fell asleep
in fields. In the morning, they realized they were in some-
one's front yard. They have even been mistaken as home-
less by a man who was driving by and gave them $5.
But more often, people ask what they' are doing and offer
to help—with a donation, food or a place to sleep. Kampf
said he has been overwhelmed by die generosity' /Americans

thinks Americans are more united and more patriotic.
“I don’t think it’s a product (of the attacks), but Sept. 11
made people realize that there are some things more
important than their selfish needs.” Kampf said.
Thousands of people have committed to walk with the
friends into New York on Sept. 11 and carry a flag.
Their story has already reached New York, where people
have heard about the journey through the media. Faria
said they receive e-mails from survivors and families of vic-
tims of Sept. 11 thanking them and encouraging them.
