Crosswalk to improve campus, student safety

CAMPUS

Max GardnerStaff writer

A new crosswalk was installed on Calhoun Road between Melcher Hall and parking lot 20A to assist students crossing the street during high traffi c.

Previously, the crosswalk had been a blinking yellow light, indicating cars should use cau-tion while driving and slow down for pedestrians. Now, it has been

upgraded to a stoplight crosswalk.“It’s just a manually activated

pedestrian signal that, under nor-mal conditions, would be a steady green until someone pushes the button and needs to cross,” said UH police Lt. Bret Collier. “As long as both pedestrians and people that are driving pay attention to the way the light’s operating, it should make a safer intersection.”

Forensics resolves miscalculated report

SFAC

Monica CordovaContributing writer

The Student Fees Advisory Com-mittee report submitted by the UH Forensics Program incorrectly showed the organization had a bud-get defi cit of $10,000.

Mike Fain, Director of Forensics, said the miscalculation was the result of a spreadsheet error. He said he was surprised by the The Daily Cougar’s report.

“This was the fi rst time ever I had not had a chance to review the docu-ments before they were released,” Fain said. “I was really surprised. I thought the spreadsheet was resolved in time, but we are not in the red anymore.”

The initial deficit was resolved using funds obtained from on-cam-pus events.

Last year, the program experi-enced a cut in its budget but was still able to participate in tournaments.

“I believe we have close to a $100,000 travel budget to travel nationally and compete nationally,” said Alex Lacamu, senior captain of Forensics.

Funds are used to host college and high school tournaments on campus, Lacamu said. Part of the money from SFAC helps compensate the judges who assist in these tournaments. The program also provides food for UH students who help judge, and they might earn $150 for a weekend event.

“We don’t spend SFAC money on two-thirds of our organization, which is pretty much our volunteering and hosting. We use it on half of the host-ing, but we also have elementary and middle school tournaments,” Lacamu said.

The SFAC form has been updated to refl ect a projected $2,277 surplus for Fiscal Year 2013.

SGA to discuss election reformJulie HefflerNews editor

The Student Government Asso-ciation will discuss election system bylaw reform at 7:30 p.m. today in the Rockwell Pavilion.

Other bills proposed would remove Chick-fil-A from the new University Center, disassociate UH from Higher One and would change the font on the UH diplomas.

One of the major changes to the election reform would be the removal of online voting, said Stephen Cronin, speaker of the Senate for SGA.

“The main difference is a move toward definite polling locations, completely eliminating online vot-ing,” Cronin said. “It would be similar to the way that the athletic depart-ment did it and how they did voting with the new stadium.”

SGA President Cedric Bandoh said the bill came as a response to the issues SGA faced in the past two election cycles.

“There was no way we were going to move forward and be effective without addressing internal issues. The fi rst thing we did was reform the bylaws, overhaul and produce a bet-ter structure,” Bandoh said.

“The second thing was create the election task force who worked day and night researching election sys-tems at different university campuses to come up with the proposed system on (today’s) agenda.”

The move toward online voting

was supposed to increase voter turn-out, Bandoh said. However, accord-ing to the polling numbers, it has not made a noticeable difference.

“Voter turnout is not determined by method of voting,” Bandoh said. “It is tied to marketing. There has been less marketing in the past couple of years; there wasn’t enough money, so we increased funds and focused efforts to encourage students to go out and vote.”

A second bill proposed will attempt to remove Chick-fi l-A from the selection of restaurants located in the new UC.

“The main idea is that the two authors are primarily against its owner’s donations to groups and individuals that aren’t necessar-ily doing good things towards the LGBT community,” Cronin said. “In (today’s) meeting, there will be a more refi ned version.”

Other issues included in the resolution are that the inclusion of a second on-campus Chick-fi l-A would be redundant, the food is not healthy and its closure on Sunday will incon-venience students.

“I support the senators initiative,” Bandoh said. “There are a lot of dif-ferent issues involved in that bill. The debate will give better understanding where senators want to go with the initiative.”

Another bill proposed would be the dissociation of UH with Higher

According to Collier, the UH Police Department issued a recom-mendation to amend the crosswalk after the UH Department of Public Safety received complaints from students and faculty.

“I understand that there were some concerns from student and staff over at the Bauer College about both vehicles and pedestrians not paying close attention to what was going on at that intersection,” Col-lier said. “We felt that an upgrade was probably needed.”

The information was forwarded to UH Facilities Operation & Main-tenance, which contacted the city about constructing the new cross-walk, said Michael Wheeler, senior

project manager of Utility, Energy & Technical Services.

“It’s really just some anecdotal evidence that there may be a problem there,” Collier said. “We didn’t see any recent increase in traffi c accidents or anything of that nature, but when someone points out a concern, it certainly behooves us to look at it.”

UHDPS then issued an email to students on Nov. 12, informing them of the upgrade.

“We put that out because we did want to let people know that it was there,” Collier said.

“Any time there is something different about the way traffic is working, we want to make sure people are aware of it so they can pay attention to it.”

One, the sponsor for the Cougar Refund Card, UH’s official refund disbursement card.

“(Higher One was) ordered to return $11 million to about 60,000 students in August for unfair and deceptive practices,” the resolution said. “The University of Houston Student Government Association on behalf of the students of the Univer-sity of Houston submits an offi cial vote of NO CONFIDENCE (sic) in Higher One and The Bancorp Bank. Furthermore, the University of Hous-ton Student Government Association urges the University look to provide fi nancial aid refund services”

Bandoh wishes to separate UH

from any banking corporation, Cronin said.

“The idea is, this is Cedric’s point of view: to get rid of any money put on card,” Cronin said. “He wants the administration to fi gure it out. He said he would like a check to be presented to students, no bank com-ing in.”

The last thing on the agenda for today would be a move to change the font on UH’s diploma.

“The ‘H’ that appears to lowercase to nearly every person that views the diploma negatively impacts the value of that diploma, that student’s achievements,” the resolution said.

After this one, the next SGA Sen-ate meeting will be Jan. 16 in the Rockwell Pavilion.

Q: Are you going to follow sports now that the football season has ended?

MAN ON THE STREET

PHOTOS AND QUOTES COMPILED BY JOSHUA MANN

Probably track. I like track, but I didn’t really follow football.

-— Angelica Cobb, chemistry junior

A:

No, honestly I won’t. I barely watched football because we weren’t really winning. So I barely watched that, and I don’t really care about any other sports here.

—Nhat Nguyen, supply chain management sophomore

:A

Basketball and baseball. I enjoy them both, and my best friend is a broadcaster for the baseball team on the Internet.

-— Taylor Maddox, communications senior

A:

I like going to basketball games because they give you free shirts. I like basketball more than football — I feel like it’s more active.

—Sofi a Ruiz, elementary education senior

:A

No, I’m not following any. Maybe I’m not that used to American football; I just came over this fall. I went to one or two matches this season. They lost. I heard they played quite well last season. I would love to see more Cougar matches — I want to see them win. But I’m not following any others.

-— Rey Sucharit, biochemistry graduate student

A:

Yes, defi nitely. Basketball, because I’m a former basketball player myself. It’s one of

my favorite sports, so I’ll defi nitely be keeping up with both basketball teams.

Mónica RojasStaff columnist

Of the 257 pre-fi led bills for the 83rd Texas Legis-lative Session, Senate Bill

11, fi led by Republican Sen. Jane Nelson of Flower Mound, Texas has received the most attention from critics and supporters alike.

If passed, the bill would require potential welfare recipi-ents to take a drug test in order to obtain government aid. Passing would ensure the assistance while failing would disqualify applicants from welfare funds for one year.

Even so, applicants would be allowed to reapply and retest six months later but only after they have completed or joined a sub-stance abuse treatment program. Three failed attempts would end welfare eligibility.

Contrary to popular belief by those who object its passing, the bill is not another way to embarrass the poor or make it more diffi cult for them to get assistance.

This is simply a way to ensure that recipients of government funds obtained from tax payers such as property-owners, busi-nesses, working college students

and others is being used for its intent.

Violation of the Fourth Amendment is cited as the legal reason for the unconstitutionality of SB 11 and those like it. The Fourth Amendment restricts ungrounded searches and seizures of people, houses and papers without probable cause and warrants to do so.

However, it is questionable whether having a person urinate in a cup is really a violation of the Fourth Amendment seeing as that is not their person, but

simply a fl uid originating from it. Honestly, there should be no objections to such a silly, albeit tedious task since it is in no way harming the person who is tested. Furthermore, a person who does not abuse illegal substances has nothing to worry about.

According to the Center for Public Policy Priorities, of the 115,000 Texans on welfare for 2011, roughly 84 percent were children.

However, it is doubtful that a parent with an illicit drug abuse problem actually used the money

they receive from the government to take care of their children.

The bill’s purpose is not to leave defenseless children to fend for themselves. On the contrary, it intends to help them. SB 11 would also require that those parents who fail the test must be reported to Child Protective Services to further assess the situation and take the appropri-ate action that will best help the children.

Passing this bill will secure that government provided assis-tance will go to those people who

merit it and that assistance will be used for its intended purpose. One additional step to receive the assistance should be nothing to those who truly need it. Fur-thermore, if it is found that low numbers of cases test positive for drug abuse, it may overturn stereotypical beliefs that welfare recipients are lazy drug abusers and in doing so will help both economically and socially.

Looking to add stability in an unstable college football landscape, the Big East Conference countered the loss of Rutgers to the Big 10 Con-ference with the addition of Tulane as a full-fl edged member and East Carolina for football only in the 2014-15 academic year.

“We are happy a great academic institution that is committed to athletics is joining us in the Big East Conference,” said UH Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics Mack Rhoades. “New Orleans is a favor-able geographical destination for all sports programs in the Big East, and its media market lends itself to the type of exposure the Big East and its member institutions deserve.”

As it stands, the duo are set to join UH, Connecticut, Louisville, South Florida, Cincinnati, Temple, Boise State, San Diego State, UCF, SMU and Memphis in this cross-conti-nental conference. Navy will join as a football-only member in 2015.

Of the 13 schools, nine are former Conference USA members, two hail

from the Mountain West and one from the Mid-American Conference. With rumors circulating about the potential departure of Connecticut and Louisville to replace Maryland as the 14th member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East is acting swiftly.

“We realize that conference realignment is currently a fact of life in college sports,” said Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco in a statement following the departure of Rutgers.

“In the context of this realign-ment, changes in our membership have been taking place, including important additions. We remain committed to, and confi dent in, the continued growth and vitality of the Big East Conference.”

During the previous two seasons, the Big East has lost Syracuse, Pitts-burgh and West Virginia. Addition-ally, in 2002, the league has seen the departures of Miami, Virginia Tech and charter-member Boston College — all to the ACC.

Nearly one year ago, UH was offi cially added to the Big East, along with Boise State, Central Florida, San

Diego State and SMU, effective in time for the 2013 football season.

“Commissioner Mike Aresco has been proactive in his dealings and has prepared the Big East and its member institutions for recent changes,” said a statement released by UH Athletics on Nov. 20.

“We have the utmost faith Com-missioner Aresco and his staff will provide the best long-term future for member institutions. We wish Rutgers the best as we focus our attention on the positive future of the Big East Conference.”

The overhaul of the Big East — and college football at large — has also caused the Conference’s televi-sion contract negotiation to be put on hold. The new-look conference has stressed the importance of its presence in markets like Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia and now, New Orleans.

For now, as the Big East seeks to buffer against any further losses, members such as UH watch as col-lege football’s landscape continues its unprecedented changes.

CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT

COMMENTARY

Since 2005, Tulsa has won the Western division of Conference USA four times while UH has grabbed three. | Justin Tijerina/The Daily Cougar

Andrew PateSports editor

With conference realignment in full force, Conference USA programs at UH, Central Florida, East Carolina, Memphis, SMU and now Tulane are bolting for the Big East. But Tulsa — which remains tied for fi rst in trips to the confer-ence’s championship game since 2005 — is being wrongfully left out of the mix.

The Golden Hurricane are left in no-man’s land after watching their two closest rivals — UH and SMU — receive and accept invitations into the Big East. The conference took in Tulane on Tuesday — a program that has not seen a winning record in a decade or a conference championship since 1998.

While UH vice president of Intercollegiate Athletics Mack Rhoades sought to ensure the Cougars’ place in the re-alignment mix one year ago, Tulsa repre-sentatives announced Tuesday

that its director of athletics, Ross Parmley, has been placed on paid administrative leave pending further investigation into gambling charges.

To be fair, Southern Miss also remains undeservedly stuck in the same sinking ship after serving as the league’s leader in C-USA cham-pionships with fi ve. Unfortunately, after the Golden Eagles ended UH’s perfect campaign a season ago, they celebrated the program’s 100th season with a 0-12 debacle.

For Tulsa, amidst all the turmoil internally and externally, it seems certain that the program will end up somewhere — be it the Moun-tain West or Big East. The Golden Hurricane, or Golden Eagles for that matter, do not belong in the likes of future C-USA members such as UTSA, North Texas or Old Dominion. Then again, one may not have expected former South-west Conference member UH to end up in the Big East.

Final exams are fast approaching and it’s time to get busy. Going toward the end of the semester, the usual musings of chilly morning classes and late night

study sessions for midterm have now increased tenfold. Preparations will get hectic, but students need not to pull their hair out when they get stressed. This playlist features 10 songs that can make your study time seem like a well-de-served break. Five of these songs are great for those trying to relax and the other half are energetic and free. — Bryan Dupont-Gray
