Please take pride in your new community and get involved when and where the opportunity arises. Treat People Well In a community where people are respectful, kind and interested in one another, a sense of pride builds naturally. Treat people as you would like to be treated, and your actions will come full circle. As a student and member of the University of Oklahoma residential college community, you are free to be yourself as you explore the richness that the OU experience has to offer. However, issues of human dignity, equality and safety are non-negotiable. Refrain from and discourage behaviors that threaten the safety, freedom, comfort and respect all OU community members deserve. Speak Up When something needs doing or improving, speak to your Resident Mentors and Graduate Tutors. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. Report Problems If something is not working properly, report it. Help the Residential Colleges to be the best they can be. The online maintenance request can be found here: http://ou.edu/residentialcolleges/. Help Keep OU Beautiful Simple actions like picking up litter when you see it and recycling your waste are contagious. Our communities and campus will look better, and you will be doing something important for the environment. LIVING IN A COMMUNITY The staff of the Residential Colleges strive to provide a pleasant and safe community for all students. Each member of the community has a responsibility to be courteous and observe basic personal safety practices.

ROOMMATE BILL OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES Sharing a room with someone is like any other relationship — to be successful it requires openness, flexibility, respect, and compromise. Right from the beginning, it is very important to communicate openly with your roommate. Learning to live with another person, to acknowledge and respect each other’s differences, and to allow one another the space to grow is one of the most valuable parts of the residential college experience. This declaration outlines basic rights and responsibilities that will help healthy roommate relationships develop. 2 As a roommate, YOU have the following RIGHTS: • To read and study free from undue interference in one’s room. • To sleep without undue disturbance from noise, roommate, guests, etc. • To expect that a roommate will respect one’s personal belongings. • To a safe and clean environment in which to live. • To free access to your room and facilities without pressure from a roommate. • To personal privacy. • To be free from fear of intimidation and physical and/or emotional harm. • To expect reasonable cooperation in the use of shared appliances (refrigerator, etc.) and a commitment to honor agreed-upon procedures. • To host guests during approved visitation hours who respect the rights of your roommate and other college residents.

  • How to Build a Residential College
    Vi e w p o i n t How to Build a Residential Co l l e g e by Robert J. O’Hara ritics of higher education in the United States have been missing their proper target for many years. It Cmay be true on some large campuses that “tenured radicals” and trendy courses have politicized the curriculum and brought about a local collapse of Western civilization. But it is also true that radical professors have been annoy- ing the establishment since Peter Abelard disturbed the church fathers in medieval Paris and trendy courses have been objects of scorn since Harvard University first allowed its students to substitute French for Hebrew (in 1787). The real crisis in higher education today is not about the curriculum, it is about the poverty of student life. At most large universities in the last 40 years, the faculty have given up all responsibility for the lives of students outside the classroom and the resulting vacuum has been fil l e d with nonacademic residence life departments. For a gener- ation, troubles such as out-of-control dormitories, social iso- lation, alcohol abuse, institutionally promoted segregation, and a complete lack of connection between the classroom and life outside the classroom have plagued universities that nevertheless advertise themselves as “caring” and “ s t u d e n t - c e n t e r e d . ” The solution to the problem of the poverty of campus life is simple and radical: we must return the faculty to their proper place—not just as teachers in the classroom R o b e r t J.

    Rgreekl2.ttf © Copyright 2006 Vernon Eugene Kooy PhD This font is an expanded version of earlier versions, hence named Rgreekl2, which stands for Renaissance Greek with Ligatures version 2.0. It is a large font with approximately 960 glyphs and uses Unicode WGL4 numbering to accommodate the number of characters. However, semantically It is not a Unicode font. It is beta encoded similar to other Greek fonts which use beta encoding. This font is freeware and may be used and distributed freely. I retain the copyright however, in order to make improvements, expand it, or otherwise come out with an improved version. It is not an imitation of any particular font such as those of Robert Estienne, Holbein or Aldus Manutius. It is rather a composite font which incorporates many glyphs (sorts) from each of the many early printers. It is hoped that this font gains a modest distribution and not be a mere curiosity. The font is meant to imitate early printed Greek from the age of incunabula to the end of the 18th century. It is not the intention of this font to make Greek any more difficult or obscure than it already is for beginning students. The font is essentially a font for scholars. This font is organized in such a way that it can be used either as a standard Greek font or a font with Ligatures. The basic Latin section contains control codes and keyboard characters for standard Greek with ligatures for and The Latin supplement section contains Unicode control codes, kai\, ou ou=. prepositional prefixes, alternate letter forms and essential diacriticals.

Second!Reader!! ii ABSTRACT Author: Natalie Sullivan Title: Writing Arabizi: Orthographic Variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic on Twitter Supervising Professors: Dr. Barbara Bullock, Dr. John Huehnergard How does technology influence the script in which a language is written? Over the past few decades, a new form of writing has emerged across the Arab world. Known as Arabizi, it is a type of Romanized Arabic that uses Latin characters instead of Arabic script. It is mainly used by youth in technology-related contexts such as social media and texting, and has made many older Arabic speakers fear that more standard forms of Arabic may be in danger because of its use. Prior work on Arabizi suggests that although it is used frequently on social media, its orthography is not yet standardized (Palfreyman and Khalil, 2003; Abdel-Ghaffar et al., 2011). Therefore, this thesis aimed to examine orthographic variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic, which has rarely been studied as a Romanized dialect. It was interested in how often Arabizi is used on Twitter in Lebanon and the extent of its orthographic variation. Using Twitter data collected from Beirut, tweets were analyzed to discover the most common orthographic variants in Arabizi for each Arabic letter, as well as the overall rate of Arabizi use. Results show that Arabizi was not used as frequently as hypothesized on Twitter, probably because of its low prestige and increased globalization.

Besides, fellow assistants are also in charge of monitoring students’ activities and developing students’ soft skills and leadership. Thus, this study aims to identify the understanding of the roles among fellow assistants and to analyze the relationship between established guidelines with fellow assistants’ comprehension about their responsibilities. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires to the Institut Pembangunan Felow (IPF) of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Johor Bahru (UTM JB) who were willing to participate. The finding reveals that majority of the respondents have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
