The ultraviolet and near-infrared spectra of O I in Arcturus are analyzed by a 15-level 14-transition model for O I and the Ayres-Linsky (1975) model chromosphere. It is found that the anomalously bright O I resonance lines at 1302, 1305, and 1306 A can be readily explained by a Ly-beta-pumped fluorescence mechanism as originally proposed by Bowen (1974). Observed equivalent widths of the near-infrared triplet and singlet lines are also consistent with the model predictions, but the intercombination lines at 1355 and 1359 A and near-infrared quintet lines may pose a problem.
