Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te mema o mua o te whare wānanga o Oklahoma, ko Levi Pettit, i tono mihi ki te iwi i te ahiahi nei, mo tana kaiārahi i tētahi waiata whakahāwea i runga i tētahi pahi i roto i tētahi ataata i rere, i ohorere ai te iwi. Ko Pettit, i tipu ake i tetahi taone nui o Dallas, Texas, i tiimata tana haerenga pouri me tetahi o ana kaiwhakawhiwhi tino kaha - ko te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera a Anastasia Pittman. I whakaaetia e Pittman tana whakapae, engari i kii ehara i te mea nui - me tuku hoki e ia he ripeneta ki nga kaiarahi hahi pango me nga akonga. 'Kua miharo ētahi he aha ahau i kore ai e kōrero ki te iwi whānui. Ko te mea pono, he ranunga mamae, he whakama, he pouri, he wehi hoki ki nga hua o aku mahi,' e ai ki a Pettit, he iti nei te wiri o tona reo i a ia e korero ana. 'Kāore au i hiahia ki te tono mihi ki te pāpāho, ki te motu katoa rānei, tae noa ki te wā i tae mai ai au ki te tono mihi ki te hunga i tino pāngia.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Mea Culpable: Levi Pettit, tetahi o te University o Oklahoma frat tama nei arahina he waiata iwi i runga i te pahi i te marama o mua, tūmatanui apologized mo ana mahi Rāapa i muri i te hui ki te rōpū o ngā kaiārahi pango. He aha tana i korero ai: Ko te 20-tau-tau, kua peia mai i OU, i kii ia 'he pouri ia, he whakama hoki' i kore ia e aukati i te waiata. I kii ano ia kaore ia i te mohio ko nga kupu i whakamahia e ia he 'he' he korero tika ki a Senator Pittman, ko te akonga 20-tau-tau i peia i OU i kii: 'He manaakitanga koe ki ahau, ki taku whaea, me taku papa. E kore e taea e ahau te whakawhetai ki a koe mo te huarahi i awhi ai koe i ahau, i whakatuwhera ai i oku kanohi ki nga mea kaore i kitea e au i mua.' I muri iho ka tono whakarere a Pettit mō tana whanonga, i hopukina ki te kāmera i te marama o mua, nā reira i whakakorehia ai te wāhanga o OU o te rōpū Sigma Epsilon Alpha. 'Kia tīmata ahau mā te mea e pouri ana ahau, e pouri ana ahau. He tino pouri ahau mo nga mamae katoa i pa mai ki a au, me te hiahia kia mohio katoa koe mai i ahau, 'Pettit, i te kakahu pouri me te taatai whero, i korero mai i te papa, i karapotia e nga kaiarahi pango. Ahakoa kāore au i te tika, e hiahia ana ahau ki te tono murunga. Kāore he take mō taku whanonga.' I kii te rangatahi o Texan kaore ia i whakaaro...
Kua tono mihi a Levi Pettit ki tētahi o ana kaiwhakawā tino nui, te Kaunihera o Oklahoma, a Anastasia Pittman. Kua whakaritea e ia he hui ki ngā ākonga pango, ngā kaiārahi hahi me ētahi atu kaitōrangapū. 'Ko nga mihi katoa o te ao e kore e huri i taku i mahi ai,' i kii a Pettit mai i te papa i te whare karakia Baptist o Oklahoma City. I kī te ākonga o mua o OU, 20 tau te pakeke, kāore ia i te mōhio he aha i 'hē' ai ngā whakahē ā-iwi i hopu ai ia e waiata ana E whakaaro ana ngā rōpū ākonga ki te tono i a Pettit ki te kōrero i ngā hui, engari kua rāhuitia ia i te whakatakoto waewae ki te kura. I kii te roia mo Sigma Alpha Epsilon kua tae ia ki tetahi kirimana i roto i tana tuhinga ture ki te Whare Wananga o Oklahoma. Kāore he mema o te rōpū kua ngaro nei i tēnei wā e peia atu. Kua peia a Pettit me tētahi atu ākonga o te ataata, a Parker Rice, i te kura.
