‘Revolution’ comes to UHTaylor McGilvrayTHE DAILY COUGAR
I n front of a crowd of thou-sands, presidential hopeful Ron Paul said if elected, he would
make it legal for Americans to once again drink raw milk.
The GOP candiate came to Hofheinz Pavilion Friday to tell his supporters he was in the race for the long haul.
“Every once and a while, we’ll notice the media will come out and say, ‘when are you going to quit?’ And, I say, ‘we are only get-ting going,’” he said.
“They say, ‘everyone else is dropping out,’ and I say, ‘yeah, they ran out of money, and they ran out of supporters, and nobody comes to their rallies.’”
Paul took to the podium dressed in a red polo and jeans that juxtaposed with the men in suits that introduced him and greeted the crowd with a thank you and “go
coogs.”His main talking points including
decreasing the control of the federal govern-ment, ending the Federal Reserve Bank, his plan to fi x the defi cit in three years, ending the war on drugs and pulling out of wars.
“The message is of course the key issue and we can be very pleased that it is well received and of course we know that it’s well
received by young people, but there are a lot of other people now, and all age groups and all kinds diversity that are enthusiastic about the liberty message,” he said.
Each point Paul made was met with chants from the crowd. One of the few comments met with “boos” was before Paul came to the podium when the CEO of UH’s Students for Ron Paul, who introduced the
candidate, confessed he voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
The crowd went wild when Paul talked about ending the wars the U.S. is involved in and ,brining the troops home. An extra burst of applause came when a marine in the front row stood up to support his candidate.
“Accusations that have been thrown at me over the years, and probably at you as well, have been that if you don’t support the wars, somehow or another you don’t sup-port the troops,” Paul said. “The question, if anybody asks about that, is ask them if that’s the truth, then why do the troops support Ron Paul more than any other candidate?”
John Beall, a mechanical engineer-ing technology sophomore, said he was impressed by the rally.
“I wanted to see Ron Paul talk. I wanted to hear him defend his policies, and hope-fully be inspired by his speech,” he said.
“He sounds like the only voice of reason amongst the presidential candidates.”

A survey conducted by a UH professor indicates credit card companies are still advertising to students under the age of 21, despite a 2009 bill passed under President Obama forbidding it.
The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act is a bill that was passed in hopes of changing the unfair practices within the consumer credit plans.
What interested UH Law Cen-ter Assistant Professor Jim Hawk-ins was a revision to the 1970 Fair Credit Reporting Act, which said credit card marketing companies
could not get information on any-one under 21 from organizations providing credit reports to offer credit cards. The bill also encour-ages limits on the promoting done by the companies on college campuses.
Based on Hawkins’ survey of over 500 students, 68 percent of students said they had received credit card offers in the mail within the past year, and 40 percent said they witnessed credit card marketing companies pro-moting gifts to students since the bill was put in effect in 2010.
“I was surprised that so many students reported they were get-ting so many offers in the mail,”
said Hawkins.The purpose of the bill was
to make it harder for credit card companies to obtain people’s addresses, Hawkins said. He soon found out that wasn’t completely the case.
During his study, Hawkins also examined 300 credit card agreements between college stu-dents and credit card issuers. He discovered that about 64% of all the agreements evaluated had not changed since the bill was passed.
“In only two cases in all of the 300 agreements that I reviewed did I observe any mention of regulation as infl uencing the decision to end the agreement,”
said Hawkins in a press release.Despite his fi ndings, Hawkins
said the act is slowly having a big-ger impact on credit card market-ing companies.
If a student is interested in retrieving a credit card, Hawkins says they should know what they’re getting into.
“Credit cards can be really useful and really dangerous,” said Hawkins.
“It’s really easy to spend money on a credit card, so it’s important to be disciplined and not affect yourself and even your family members.”
LAW
Credit card companies still advertise to college studentsFair Credit Reporting Act: Section 604(c)(1)(B)“A consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report relating to any consumer pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (C) of subsection (a)(3) in connection with any credit or insurance transaction that is not initiated by the consumer only if ... the consumer report does not contain a date of birth that shows that the con-sumer has not attained the age of 21, or, if the date of birth on the consumer report shows that the consumer has not attained the age of 21, such consumer consents to the consumer reporting agency to such furnishing.”

Craw! sh boil event brings petroleum professionals
Petroleum industry profes-sionals kicked off the Offshore Technology Conference with mounds of crawfi sh, live music and dancing at the 24th annual OTC Crawfi sh Boil Sunday in Lynn Eusan Park.
The vast majority of the funds raised by the event will go towards engineering scholarships for UH students, said UH alumnus and Adjunct Professor Benton Baugh, who was the vice-chair and trea-surer for the event.
“Raising scholarship funds is a very important way to get kids through school,” Baugh said.
In addition to raising money for scholarships, the event brought about 6000 professionals on the UH campus, Baugh said.
“It’s a very good public rela-tions event,” he said.

STAFF EDITORIAL
All good things come to an end. Fortunately for our readers, The Daily Cougar is not always good.
This means that, while this is our last print issue for this semester, we will return in June with our weekly summer issues.
All joking aside, the entire Daily Cougar staff spends countless hours every week making sure we fulfi ll our mission to bring quality journalism to the University of Houston.
However, all of the hours we put in would be for naught if we didn’t have a great university to report on. We may be the ones who write the stories, but we depend on stellar UH students, faculty and staff for the topics of those stories.
UH offers us a colorful mélange of characters every day, characters that inspire us and provide us with ample material to include within the pages of our paper. We are fortunate that we attend such diverse and innovative university.
The editorial board of the Cougar would like to thank UH for being such an excellent training ground for student journalists. We have the unique privilege of writing about a university that is on the rise. From Tier One researchers to nationally ranked athletes, there is never a shortage of quality topics for us to cover.
We are excited about the future of UH, just as we are excited about the future of the Cougar. It is no secret that our campus is under construction. Well, we are always under construction at the Cougar as well.
Co-news Editor Joshua Mann has been elected as the new editor in chief of the Cougar. He will take the reins of the paper starting this summer. He will continue to build our staff, just as the univer-sity will continue building its reputation as a stellar Texas university.
We always have room for Tier One students here at The Daily Cougar, students who will help us continue our assent along with that of the univer-sity. We have to say good-bye for now, but we’ll be back as soon as classes begin this summer. Even if we wanted to, we couldn’t stay away.
Thank you for the stellar semester

LETTERSTexas legislature should consider women’s health
In our view, the efforts of the Republican Party to prevent Texas women from accessing quality reproductive care from Planned Parenthood-affiliated clinics in Texas is the latest roadblock for women who have been given the least opportunities to better their position. Rick Perry has embraced a flawed philosophy that more restrictive laws will change a woman’s mind about whether or not to have an abortion.
Let’s consider a more realistic scenario for low-income women: Imagine that a baby girl is born into a family with few resources. This girl attends a public elementary school in a low-income neighborhood, where property taxes are low and the schools are failing.
Teachers at her school have no time to give her the attention and support she needs to thrive, because they are already stretched thin by overcrowded classrooms and under-supervised pupils.
When she goes home in the after-noons, she is left to her own devices, as her parents are working multiple jobs to make ends meet. A boy in her class asks her to hang out, and thanks to a
variety of factors – including culture, lack of parental involvement and abstinence-only sex education – this young woman ends up pregnant.
Flash-forward to age 23: Our girl is single and raising two young children on her own. The Texas Legislature has again cut the budget for the Texas Women’s Program she relies on for free breast cancer screenings, birth control and pap smears, and the local women’s clinic she frequented was forced to close.
Now, the Planned Parenthood clinic she switched to is being threatened. In order to receive care and the birth con-trol she relies on for endometriosis and pregnancy prevention, she is facing the prospect of losing valuable paying hours at work in order to travel 10 miles by bus after waiting three weeks, maybe more, for an appointment.
This vignette is not far from the true story of many Texas women’s lives. Access to the most basic gynecological care is being made more and more inconvenient by those who claim to be fighting for the lives of unborn children.
We believe these people, though they mostly have good intentions, are ignorant of the reality of what happens to women like the one described in the story above. More abortions, not less,
will result from making it harder to get contraceptives and reproductive care.
Changes in culture and morality cannot come about from worsening the conditions of the lives of those in need, no matter how hard portions of the privileged population wish it to be so. Culture is not that simple because people are not that simple.
We want to help women get the health care they need from the provider they trust and choose. We want to put a stop to the political games. Repub-licans supposedly want the elderly to get quality health care from providers they feel comfortable with, so why not women?
We stand for policies that treat Texas women respectfully. We ask the Texas Legislature to stand with Texas women, too.

Anybody who thinks Republican nominee Ron Paul has lost his core support obviously wasn’t
driving down Cullen St. around 6:30 p.m. Friday.
“I’m sure glad the revolution is alive and well in Houston,” Ron Paul said to thousands
of supporters as cheers echoed off the walls of Hofheinz Pavilion.
Hours before Paul’s speech, a line of supporters sporting their favorite Ron Paul T-shirts and buttons snaked around the block, eagerly waiting to hear the man of the hour make his case for liberty. People of all sorts and ages were in attendance, and the mood was lively to say the least.
As you may have expected, through-out his speech Paul carried the same tune he’s been singing since the start, and it seems like nothing is ever going to change that.
His consistency is truly impressive, and as far as I’m concerned, Paul demands and deserves respect, no matter what ideology you have.
It’s a shame that he doesn’t get the proper amount of attention, because while some of his ideas may be out there, a lot of what he says makes sense.
Thanks to a neglectful media, one of Paul’s biggest setbacks has been his inability to connect with undecided crowds that are already skeptical of him. The delivery of his speeches unfortunately doesn’t seem to match the power of his ideas, and for that reason, crowds that aren’t immediately moved by a rehearsed speech sprinkled with key persuasive words refuse to
give Paul a shot. However, Friday, Paul was in his
element and moved the crowd with point after point pertaining to a number of his famous issues ranging from “Ending the Fed” to The War on
Drugs without changing his stances. He also had a few things to say about The Patriot Act.
“The names of a bill are exactly the opposite of what the bill does,” Paul advised to the crowd, “if (The Patriot Act) had been called the ‘Repeal the Fourth Amendment’ Act, maybe it wouldn’t have gotten so many votes.”
Although his chances of becoming president were never promising, he continues to stay in the race, which some people find foolish. Paul has said he continues to run because there is continued support, and that was
undoubtedly proven on-campus last week.
After hearing Paul speak, it seems that he is just as concerned with spreading his message than he is with winning office, and from that perspec-tive, his campaign has been successful.
He continues to bring attention to issues the other candidates avoid and has garnered a strong, committed following on the Internet and among young people.
If lack of recognition has frustrates Paul, he does not show it.
There is something about Paul that emits authenticity and genuineness, and it is evident there is nothing fab-ricated in what he says. Whether you agree with his policies or not, Paul is a man who stays uncommonly consis-tent and trustworthy, and at this point in our nation’s politics, those traits are rare and merit more respect than he’s been given.

The University of Houston was the only school to fi nish in the top 25 and not have a player drafted — six other Confer-ence USA schools had players selected. The NFL Draft came and went quietly for the Cougars’ outgoing seniors.
In the immediate hours following the draft, that changed. Seven UH players were signed to NFL teams as free agents.
Quarterback Case Keenum and defensive lineman David Hunter signed with the Houston Texans. Receiver Patrick Edwards signed with the Detroit Lions. Linebackers Sammy Brown and Marcus McGraw signed with NFC West teams, the St. Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals. Running backs Michael Hayes and Bryce Beall signed with the San Diego Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys, respectively.
Getting calls from teams was a relief after waiting out the draft.
“It was a weight off my shoulders,” Hayes said.
“It feels great just to get the call. It was a lot of worries gone. You really don’t know what’s going to happen and what team is going to call.”
Being drafted carries a certain prestige with it, but most of the players shrugged it off.
“I think it’s good for us just to pick the best situation possible for us to make the team,” Hayes said.
“We’ll go in with a chip on our shoul-der to show that we’re those guys that should have been drafted, we just have to show that.”
Carrier on the mendReceiver Tyron Carrier did not sign
with a team yesterday, but he is ahead of schedule recovering from surgery for a torn ACL.
After tying the NCAA record for kickoff returns, Carrier should get some attention as a return specialist.

Sammy Brown is like a lot of students at UH. He transferred from another school, got his act together and is now one step closer to realizing his professional dreams.
After leading the nation in tackles-for-a-loss as a senior, Brown signed with the St. Louis Rams on Saturday.
“I never doubted myself,” Brown said. “I knew I wanted to go pro since Pee Wee football.”
Brown’s road to the NFL has not always been the smoothest, but he has overcome all of the obstacles and now has a chance to win a spot on the Rams’
roster.In high school, Brown lost his
mother and lived with his aunt, who he credits as one of his major inspirations.
Brown didn’t take the SAT or ACT in high school and opted to go to junior college at Mississippi Gulf Coast.
He excelled there on the football fi eld and drew offers from several schools. UH was his fi rst recruiting visit and his fi rst time to fl y on a plane.
“For my fi rst football visit here, that was my fi rst plane trip,” Brown said in November. “I was like, ‘I’m not going on any more football visits.’
“I’m still scared.”Brown admits that he didn’t come
to UH in shape and that he broke a lot of plays in his fi rst season, but in the

workout partner. This year working out with George )
d Phillip (Steward), and ed me and I got stronger and
s change in attitude and was noticable in senior year.
I could take credit for it,” H defensive coordinator wart said in November. “He
in this summer and pushed e fi nally got past that wall,
where he’d say, ‘I’m tired.’
When you can push yourself past that wall, he fi nally got past that. And then, now busts his tail so much now that he gets on other people for not running to the ball. He wouldn’t have said anything last year.
“It looked like sometimes last year, he was so undisciplined that if the play broke out that way, he might as well have just grabbed a Coke and sat down because he wasn’t going to chase the ball unless he thought he could get the guy.”
Brown’s work ethic carried over beyond the football fi eld as well.
“Once he realized that, he really started pushing himself past that wall,” Stewart said. “He was even doing better in class — he was actually going to class.
It’s funny how a lot of times that doesn’t happen — better in the classroom and on the football fi eld — usually that doesn’t correlate. But I think he’s at that point where he feels good about his plan and himself where he’s comfortable in the classroom and going to class.”
Brown fi nished his senior season earning All-Conference USA First Team honors and playing a major role in UH’s 13-1 season.
Brown wasn’t drafted this weekend, but for him it’s just another obstacle to overcome.
“It feels good, but I still have to prove myself,” Brown said. “I still feel like an underdog no matter what I do.”

The Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys performed in Houston on Tuesday at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.
As the sun was still out, the Arctic Monkeys opened the concert by playing “Brainstorm” — the track that put them on the charts and defi ned them as a band.
The song was riveting and so was the adrenaline and rock sound that a band of this caliber is known to deliver to its audience.
Fans of the band were touched by the intensity and power that the Arctic Monkeys delivered with the tracks “Don’t Sit Down Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair” and “If You Were There Beware.”
There were many parts of their performance that were similar to their set seen at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year.
As their one-hour set came to a close, they played their newly released single “R U Mine?” — which was pro-moted on this year’s Record Store Day.
The lights dimmed in
preparation for the main event of the night — The Black Keys — and the audi-ence snapped into attention as soon as they heard the guitar riff and keyboards introduce the song “Howlin’
for You.”The set predominately
consisted of music from the band’s mainstream career.
The Black Keys performed songs from their Grammy award-winning album
“Brothers” as well as tracks from their new album, “El Camino,” which was not a surprise since this is the duos fi rst stadium sized tour.

In conjunction with Dionysia 2012, the third annual Ekphras-tic Art Competition and Agora Festival at the Honor’s College inside the M.D. Anderson Memorial Library was held on Wednesday.
Held by UH’s Honor’s College Center for Creative Work, the Ekphrastic Art Competition and
Agora Festival showcased art-work, dance, music and poetry.
The lounge-like venue started in 2010 and has garnered more competing students each year.
However, these students were not just performing and showcasing their talents for the spirit of competition. They were asked to compose works that coincide with great pieces of literature.
“Ekphrastic means art that responds to art and, in this case, we wanted to honor the Human Situation Great Books course that we teach here at UH,” human situation professor and co-host Gabriella Maya said.
“We’ve asked students to interpret, respond to or against certain pieces of literature or an aspect of that literature.”
The competition was divided into three different categories
based on what students brought to the table: dance perfor-mances, poetry readings and musical performances.
Each competitor also had to keep in mind the “Travels to the Underworld” theme that tied into the festival.
This theme consisted of images taken from epics such as “The Odyssey” and Dante’s

The 34th Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition recep-tion organized by the Blaffer Art Museum took place Saturday at DiverseWorks Art Space.
The event displayed the works of eleven graduat-ing Master’s of Fine Arts students, spanning all fi ve departments of the program.
Chuck Ivy, the fi rst gradu-ate of the Interdisciplinary Practice and Emerging Forms program, utilized
reactive installation and code to create an audio and visual projection.
Ivy’s technological dis-play, “Identifi ed, Detained & Inspected,” included a cartoon of Inspector Clou-seau graphically affected by live Houston Police dispatch radios.
Graphic communica-tions student Danilo Bojic’s “Passage,” made of birch plywood, digital print and vinyl, led the viewer through a curling passageway of panels featuring words like “compassion,” “joy” and, going deeper, “challenge”
and “independence.”His work also consisted
of jutting color-treated images of well-known local buildings as well along the wall.
Sculptor Natali Leduc’s created a large wooden structure accompanied by other components such as a bike and caution tape titled “Giant Multitron,” made of “wood, more wood, metal, mistakes and time.”
Dressed in a lab coat, Leduc presented her con-traption by explaining that the structure was indeed a mechanism intended to
launch termites into outer space.
Abi Semter’s work included usage of materials such as a book page, card-board, cotton thread and a paper bag.
Semter’s work tapped into the elegance and simplic-ity of raw material, with small punctures and twining.
Sculptor M’kina Tapscott’s displays involved a more color-ful presentation that featured draping adoring ornaments and gold chains.

LITERATURE
Creative writing students attend author’s lectureDavid JonesTHE DAILY COUGAR
New York Times bestselling author Steve Almond gave a brief talk on the merits of self-publishing Friday in the Honors College commons.
The audience was primarily composed of enthu-siastic graduate and undergraduate creative writing students and faculty members.
Wary of the incessant marketing and limitations of publishing through a large press, Almond explained how he chose to start self-publishing his work beginning with “This Won’t Take but a Minute, Honey,” a collection of short stories and mini essays on the nature of writing.
“I was tired of having to deal with the corporate parenting of my publisher and with the availability of technology that’s made the means of book production easier than ever before, it felt like the right decision to do it on my own,” Almond said.
He described the amazement he felt as he watched his fi rst self-published book pop out of the Harvard Book Store’s Espresso Book Machine.
“I was used to the whole 18 month process of putting a book out, with this machine it took 5 minutes. The ink on the book was still wet; it was amazing.”
Since that day, Almond has self-published two other books, “Bad Poetry” and “Letters from People Who Hate Me.”
His distribution model with his self-published books, he said, “is pretty much the same as a drug dealer’s.”
Rather than sell his books through various outlets like Amazon or Barnes and Noble, he prefers to directly distribute his self-published work at readings and at a price even fi nancially struggling college students can afford.
He encouraged listeners to view self-published books as ever-evolving “artifacts” of creativity that can be altered over time rather than as static objects.
After his talk he fi elded questions and read a few entertaining pieces from Bad Poetry” and “Letters from People Who Hate Me.”
Though it only lasted an hour, the event was a convincing argument for all artists and writers to focus on creating and sharing their work, and to not worry so much about securing whatever “legiti-macy” a large publishing house may offer.

“Inferno” and compounded with deep, vividly gothic scenery that creates suc-cessfully executed pieces of ekphrastic work.
Each competitor kept true to the theme.
Senior Tijana Zdravic whose poem, “Hades Visit,” told a story of how her encounter with Hades from the underworld would be like the dance and violin number from freshmen Thu-Mai Nguyen and Lydia Velasquez portrayed the character of Odysseus’ wife Penelope.
The venue itself, while small in attendance and somewhat limited in space, plays well to the laid back at-home vibe.
Spectators at the event had the choice to sit on the fl oor, chairs or even on comfortable couches that
conveniently had art placed around them.
However, the ambient and tranquil feel that kept for a good hour seemed to turn into a room that is used for meetings and the feeling was lost in the midst of this.
Despite that, the audience was well receptive to what was displayed.
In the end, junior Chad Maydwell took fi rst place for his artwork, “Sirens”.
Seniors Archie Parks and Emilie Catlett took fi rst place for the musical number “Love Knell” and fi nally Nguyen and Velasquez took home fi rst place for “Penelope’s Lament”.
While each winner may have walked away with $50, co-host Kimberly Meyer noted that the real winners were the old Great Books that were brought back to life to connect with today’s generation.

mixed media in “M Theory” was composed of a mysterious mixture of hair and colorful jelly-like substances in a container with a gold top.
Graphic artist Ted Closson put together a miniature comic book convention featuring twelve Texas artists.
“The key of it is to think of com-ics as cultural objects,” said Closson on the convention he organized for the art space.
Photographer Rosine Kouamen featured pictures of fi rst generation immigrants from Africa in their American living spaces.
Photographs of family memorabilia and personal objects
— connecting Kouamen to her birthplace of Cameroon — such as necklaces, sandals and food hung grid-like on the wall.
Sebastian Forray took an unorthodox approach by com-missioning fi ve different artists to create works for him.
Each artist’s contribution was titled “Seven Years Luck” with fi ve respective parts.
Along with these works, Forray had a display case of his own called “The Vitrine of Ancillary Failures,” fi lled with books, buttons, a brochure, a television monitor and vinyl records

Perched high in the top of the Fine Arts building, the UH Painting Depart-ment’s Open Studios and Graduation Party on Friday was a sight to behold.
Nearly 40 artists displayed a semes-ter’s worth of hard work in the show.
Recent graduate and musical guest Jamie Woody’s soulful melodies set a perfect mood for the evening
All ages and backgrounds were represented, as friends and families came out to support their favorite artists.
It was interesting to see such a wide variety of styles and techniques expressed in the paintings.
Andria Nguyen’s incredibly smooth, religious and Gothic-inspired grotesques incorporated beads, crosses and other sculptural elements.
Stacy Smith’s bright, colorful fi gures and scenes resembled high-defi nition photographs, while Hillaree Hamblin made novel use of dyed cloth, sequins and twigs.
Artists Voltaire Paredes and David Anderson continued to cover their large canvases in paint throughout the show, much to the delight of passers-by.
Paredes even welcomed those who were interested to pick up a brush and join in.
“If there’s anything to save of the art world, we’ll save it,” he said.
Each studio space offered a completely different environment and provided insight into each artist’s vision.
Bec Cook’s impeccably clean forest creatures and tasty-looking desserts hung not 10 feet away from abstract and process-oriented artists who mixed, poured and smeared other materials with their paint, which resulted in very delicately layered organic shapes.
While some artists listed the titles and sale prices for each piece, others chose to let their work speak for itself.
Stacy Smith’s studio advertised a free charcoal drawing for the winner of a raffl e.
Junior Maryam Sohail described her use of dark, sprawling environ-ments interspersed with “Alice in Wonderland” characters as being inspired by surrealism and graphic art, but admitted she had not yet decided on a niche.
“I’d like to continue doing this,” Smith said.
“It was a great night for the arts, patrons, and university students alike; such a talented group of artists is hard to come by. We can expect big things from the 2012 graduating class in the months and years to come.”

Successful art splash by students

Though they had to appease their new fans, there were also tracks that only longtime listeners of the band knew such as “I’ll Be Your Man,” which was on the band’s fi rst full-length album.
They also played the singles that made them popular among the blues and rock crowds during the growth of the band.
“Thickfreakness” and “Your Touch” lacked nothing and sounded rugged and formidable in comparison to their album counterparts.
Guitarist and vocalist Dan Auerbach of the duo started singing
“Everlasting Light” — a fan favorite from “Brothers”— as a giant disco ball propelled down from the rafters.
Finally, the track from their 2008 album “Attack and Release” that propelled The Black Keys to become more of a household name — “I Got Mine” — was performed.
There was a mellow rhythm after the second verse that was dismissed during this live jam session that was a masterfully crafted build.
As Auerbach strung his guitar, the drums kicked in exploding the sounds through the mounted speakers and onto the audience.
The wailing guitars ended the night perfectly.

Assistant coach Ulric Maligi will leave the University of Houston to become a part of Larry Brown’s coaching staff at SMU.
Maligi was one of the coaches the head coach James Dickey brought in two years ago. Maligi, 27, has known Dickey since he was 18 years old.
Maligi told the Houston Chronicle that in addition to it being a great opportunity, it allowed him to be closer to his ailing father.
Severance resignsUH tennis head coach John Severance
stepped down Friday after an eight-year

During his time at UH, Severance compiled a record of 125-63, and led the Cougars to winning seasons in each of his years as head coach.
Severance helped 11 student-athletes earn All-Conference USA honors.
This past season, UH went 13-7 during the regular season and reached the second round of the C-USA Tournament.
Director of Athletics Mack Rhoades said that a national search for his replacement will begin immediately.
