Texas Southern University recently received an academic makeover; with changes in admission requirements that now require young adults to be more studious if Texas Southern University is their choice for higher education. Prospective students are now required to have a grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale or a composite ACT score of 17, in order to be admitted into the university that once al-lowed open enrollment. “We made admittance to the university more competitive so the university can be bet-ter,” Dean of students, William Saunders said. “If the requirements are higher, then gradua-tion rates will be higher as well.” As of 2012, Texas Southern Universi-ty’s graduation rate is 61 percent for first year students, 5 percent for four-year students, and 12 percent for the six-year students. “Back then it was a trend to go to college after high school, now getting your bachelor’s and masters degree is a necessity,” office of admissions secretary, Miltonieka Gray-Bell said.

Raising the barChanges in admission requirements set the standard for Texas Southern UniversityBY MARIEA BOYDCampus News Editor

The overall GPA for the class of 2017 is currently a cumulative 2.9. University officials are excited to see such promising numbers and hope for an in-crease in graduation rates within the next few years. “There are students who entered the university with 4.0 grade point averages from their high school’s,” Saunders exclaimed. Since the founding of Texas Southern University in 1927, the university has allowed open enrollment for incoming and transfer students. Open enrollment allowed students to be admitted into the university without the necessary skillset that one needs in order to take on college level courses. Unprepared students eventually begin to fail courses and drop out of college due to stress and pressure, which eventually begins to affect the overall academic rate of the univer-sity. Over the summer, the university be-gan a summer initiative, called ‘Back to the Basics’ institute, which helped high school stu-dents and teachers prepare for college courses

and ACT/SAT testing. Houston area schoolteachers were able to participate in a literature and technology seminar during the morning session and would teach students what they learned in later ses-sions. TSU faculty and graduate students would also teach test-taking skills to high school students and engage them in drill prac-tices for the ACT and SAT. Texas Southern also offers a summer school program for prospective students.The program was designed to help boost the GPAs of students who do not meet the university’s admission requirements. “Last summer we had a good amount of students to take advantage of this program,” Saunders said. The required GPA is expected rise again in the near future. The goal for Texas Southern is to be considered amongst the elite Historically Black Universities such as Spell-man, Howard, and Morehouse.

The Newman Center opens its doors to all Texas Southern students

The Texas Southern University Newman Center, located at 3535 Wheeler Avenue, is a center used for the spiritual uplifting of the Third Ward community and TSU students and has been part of the campus’ activities for over 45 years. “TSU Newman Hall was founded in 1967 and has been a withstanding symbol of the community”, current director, Deacon John Lane said,who is assisted in leader-ship by Chaplin, Reverend Father Rodney Armstrong, S.S.J. Although it is a Catholic center, it is open to all Texas Southern students, regardless of religion or af-filiation. Deacon Lane says in its newsletter that they “encourage all students to visit and participate in its events throughout the year”. The Newman Center is in direct conjunction with the Catholic Student Organization on TSU’s campus, which was restarted by Deacon Lane. Recently, the center has been undergoing many changes and upgrades. New computers were put in the building for all students to use free of charge along with new furniture, game systems, and televisions to create a comfortable place for students to study and hang out. Students who visit the Newman Center seem to have great reactions to its service and renovations. Chandler Wimbish, a sophomore, says the center is “very warm and welcoming, it feels like Christmas.” “The Newman Center is coming along well, and we are getting more students involved in the center’s activities,” the CSO’s President, Precious Gibson, said.

TSU Plans Event for Student Vendors

Starting September 27th, the Student Government Association will host an event for students on campus who are starting or already own independent businesses and wish to market to other TSU students. This event has coined the name ‘Texas Southern Market Friday’s.’ It will be held on campus as a festival-type event where there will be food, music, and vendors who will advertise their services and allow other students to shop or browse around finding out more about the services offered.

Lawsuit Filed Against TSU for Gender Discrimination

On Sept. 13, court papers were filed in Houston federal court for Michele Taylor, a TSU graduate and graduate school faculty member for over 30 years, after she alleged that she was punished for her complaints about her supervisor. Taylor worked as an assistant dean in the gradu-ate department. Her past complaints refer to her unequal salary, based off her statement that she did in fact do the job of an associate dean. She is requesting a jury trial based on her evi-dence that she in fact filed complaints and was given wrongful discipline from the university.

Last week, members of Student Government Association attended the 43rd Annual Congressional Black Cau-cus Legislative Conference in Washing-ton D.C. SGA president Leon Spencer, Attorney General Marcus Johnson, External Vice President Joshua Green, Senate Chair Fred Carter, and Senator Jonathan Jollivette were all in atten-dance and had the opportunity to attend different seminars such as the “Young Gifted and Black” which covered ways to reach out to young African Americans and how to help expose their talents. They also attended a session where they were able to met congressio-nal leaders from Texas who expressed interest in partnering with SGA for dif-ferent events. “While there, we got to network with several companies who were more than willing to help our organization outreach to the community,” Attorney General, Marcus Johnson said. The highlight of the weekend was the Texas Reception that current Texas Southern students and alumni had the honor of hosting. Texas Representative Boris

Miles and Houston Comptroller Larry Green were amongst those in attendance. The purpose of the Congressional Black Caucus is to help promote and represent the African American members of the United States Congress. The conference consisted of those members, who hosted different informational sessions over a series of days. The sessions covered everything from Public Policies that affect the African Ameri-can community to human trafficking and education. Student Government President, Leon Spence, enjoyed his visit to the capitol and picked up ideas that he will bring back to the university. “From our weekend in D.C, my team and I learned that if we wish to see a change in the world, it has to start with us,” he con-cluded.

Cover Story

Students live in fear as campus crimes become frequentBY MARIEA BOYDCampus News Editor

As students unpacked their suitcases, unrolled their posters, and hung up their clothes for the first time, one of our tigers ex-perienced a different kind of welcoming at the start of the semester. After leaving his job as a desk atten-dant for Texas Southern campus housing, the student got into his car and drove home to his off-campus university apartment in Savoy where his night took an unexpected turn. As he stepped out of his car and locked it, two African American men ran up to him and demanded his personal belongings. “I just couldn’t believe this was hap-pening to me,” the student, who requested to remain anonymous due to the horrific event, said. With a gun to his face, the student gave up his wallet, phone, and car keys. “Luckily they couldn’t figure out how to start my car or they would have taken that too,” he added. With the victim in tow, the two thieves entered the apartment and began hounding the house for items of values. The student waited in the kitchen as they went through his things. “I saw my slim chance to escape and I took it,” the student said. The student ran for his life, out of his slightly cracked apartment door and called 911 on a phone of a friend close by. Thieves retrieved a flat screen TV, Mac book laptop, video games, shoes, a designer belt and other personal belongings from the victim and his roommate. The student believes that these types of occurrences can be avoided in the future and that Savoy should look into the type of resi-dents it allows into its complex. “TSU needs more police patrol and Sa-voy apartments should be made only for TSU students or just for the public, it should not be mixed,” he said. The student filed an official police report of the incident with Houston Police department immediately after the occurrence. Unfortunately, this student is not the first to get robbed on the campus of Texas Southern University. Last fall, a student living in the Urban

Academic Village Apartments was physically assaulted and robbed for her car. The car was found, but the student did not return to the university the next semester. “I don’t feel safe on campus; on three occasions I have seen someone on campus with a pistol,” junior, Christian Ross said. With frightening incidents frequently happening on college campuses across the country, students are beginning to wonder if they need to carry a form of protection for themselves when coming to their college cam-puses. In April, the Texas Senate passed a bill that allows students to have a concealed weapon locked in their cars in the parking lot of college campuses. Democratic Senator, Jose Rodriguez of El Paso argued that the passing of this bill would eventually lead to students having guns in the classroom. “I opposed the bill because, given today’s climate and the rise of crime on ours campuses, the last thing we need to do is pass a bill like this” Sen. Rodriguez said. Christian Ross believes that in order to keep students from carrying concealed weap-ons to their college campuses, a larger quan-tity of security should be supplied and campus police officers should be more “attentive” to the events taking place.

Life & Style

week. “I at least style it once a week… If I’m just wearing my fro, every night before bed I twist my hair [in] a protective style while I’m asleep and [then I] take them out and wear a curly fro,” Harrison said. Although many of the natural hair vet-erans on campus have embraced their locks, some have admitted the struggles they face when trying to manage their hair. Whitney LeBlanc, who has been natu-ral for a little over three years, said that she still has trouble with the styling process. “The most challenging thing to me is detangling,” LeBlanc said. “It takes a lot of care and time to do properly. I have put off washing my hair completely because I knew I wouldn’t have enough time to detangle.” Hauer is still trying to find a perfect hairstyle that is both stylish and not time con-suming. “The hardest thing about keeping your hair together as a student is trying to accom-plish a classy yet long lasting hair style for the week so that my hands aren’t always in it,” she said. After going through the trials and er-rors that come with maintaining natural hair,

A group of TSU women shared their insight about natural hair, an expression of style that has risen in popularity, yet possess-es almost foreign care techniques. As far as styling goes, some women have decided to travel a simpler and less expensive route known as: DIY (Do It Your-self). Sophomore Melanie Hauer, who must keep her hair presentable for when she’s at her workplace, explained why she opts to care for her own hair. “I have seen that the more I take time to invest into my hair, the more it grows and stays healthy. I am all about having healthy hair,” Hauer said. Hauer is very active in managing her own hair, as it is a part of her daily routine. “I try to do my hair every night, so that I can protect it and keep it from being a tangled mess in the morning. That way it’s easier to do when I get ready,” Hauer said. Kymbra Harrison, a junior who has been natural for two years, occasionally has other people to help style her hair. Her usual regimen involves a method that keeps her curls elongated throughout the

the young women who do wear it have man-aged to learn a lot about their tresses.LeBlanc, who struggles with detangling her hair, has found that patience makes a great dif-ference. “It’s crucial that you detangle your hair regularly and allow the proper amount of time to do it. Rushing during the detangling process can cause breakage. If you’re concerned about retaining length, do it the correct way,” she said. Hauer has grown to love exploring different styles with her hair, which include a “faux bob cut” style, the result of a flat twist out. She feels that newly natural women can benefit from doing the same. “Experiment with your hair [and] find what works for you. Even try to find some natural hair bloggers that can help you with tips for your hair,” Hauer said. Harrison offered very specific advice for those who are thinking of ditching their relaxed hair for their natural curls, coils, and kinks. “My only [advice] to others that’s try-ing to go natural is that you should treat your hair like you treat yourself.”

Life & StyleA gift or a curse?Social Media use and how it can affect your jobBY SENORA HARRISLife & Style Editor

Students have to be increasingly cau-tious with what they share on social websites like Facebook and Twitter, as employers are now paying closer attention to them. It is very common for employers to view potential and current employees’ online profiles. Oftentimes, this can be the decid-ing factor in whether that person gets hired for a job or fired from one. Just this summer, a male employee at a Ridgecrest Taco Bell chain was fired after a picture of him lick-ing a stack of unused taco shells was posted onto Facebook. Aware of the implica-tions of such online behav-ior, first year law student, Chloe Corbett says that she is extremely conscious whenever she uses social media. “I have law professors, fellow stu-dents, and family on my social media and presenting myself in a professional light is important. Also, many employers look at so-cial media to judge potential employees and I don’t want them to get the wrong impression of me through my social media sites,” she said. Dr. Rockell Brown, who teaches graduate media management and undergradu-ate media analysis and criticism at TSU, says that employers consider online profiles more to gain a better perspective on employees. “It’s becoming more common of a practice before hiring employees to look at social media use to get a sense of how [em-ployees] carry themselves, the type of people they interact with. [It is] kind of more so to

assess their character,” Dr. Brown said. “I don’t think it’s fair, but those are the rules of the game,” Corbett added. Corbett doesn’t necessarily agree with these practices because she feels that social media profiles don’t mirror how a person may be in the real world.

“A lot of people feel the need to present a false image of themselves on-line, so no I do not think people present a fair representation of them-selves on social media. Most of what they pres-ent is just an illusion,” Corbett said. On the contrary, Dr. Brown feels that those who use social media should be held account-able for what they make public online. “It may not be [fair], but I think it is. This is what you’re creating. You made a choice to take a picture, to type what you wrote, and post it. You have to recognize that everyone is not going to see things

the same way that you do,” said Dr. Brown. Corbett cited some dangerous social media behaviors to avoid, that anyone can use. “Putting drunk pictures up after the club, smoking, [and] excessive drinking [are bad],” Corbett said. Considering that there are consequenc-es for posting certain things online, Dr. Brown advised that students should be friendly, but still be responsible when using social media. “It’s okay to have friends, it’s okay to be social, but we need to think of it like the ratings system in regard to films. Keep it PG, or G rated for general audiences,” Dr. Brown said. In order to maintain an employer friendly profile, Corbett recommends that students simply think before they post online. “[Students] should have profiles that cause no controversy in the eyes of employ-ers,” she said. “Just use common sense.”

BY BUCK BEDIA Sports Editor

The Texas Southern Tigers (0-3, 0-2) took their show on the road Wednesday to face Jackson State (2-2-, 2-0) on ESPNU’s Thursday night game where they lost their third game 35-7. TSU had a solid first half until JSU recovered a blocked punt in the end zone just moments before the end of the second half. The mistake seemed to really sway the momentum for the Tigers going into the second half. “When we gave up that play, it hit us a little bit, but offensively we couldn’t sustain anything, which ultimately resulted in the defense being on the field longer than we would have liked,” Asberry said, “They [the defense] played well, but they got tired later in the game.” Junior, Jamal Small and freshman, Jay Christophe, filled in for the injured quarter-back, Homer Causey, and took to the reigns of Darryl Asberry’s offense. Small threw a

game high 90 yards on 6 of 11 passing. “We pondered over the decision all week to start Jay, it’s a long season, so we

wanted to play it safe and not risk injury to our starter Homer,” Asberry stated, “He is our future. Jay didn’t turn the ball over and that is important for a young quarterback.” Thursday’s contest was the second of three road games for the Tigers. Both sides played a very sloppy game amassing 27 penalties, with the Tigers contrib-uting with 14 for 183 yards.

The volleyball team (3-5) traveled to Austin and swept Huston-Tillot-son last Wednesday. The Lady Tigers offense was fueled by Veronica Azubuike’s 12 kills, Mona Reed who chipped in with 10 kills, and Sarah Wooten who contributed with 16 assists.

Other notable scorers were; Adriana Trevinio who finished with a

score of 169, tied for 11th place, Carmen Gonzales placed 18th shooting 177 and Tyler Lawrence finished 20th turning in her scorecard at 181.

“All the penalties is really what killed us,” Asberry said.

“We need to be more disciplined and not continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.” After his radio show, Asberry com-mented on the team’s mistakes “We need to play a solid football game and eliminate these penalties, we’re going to make some mistakes,” Asberry said, “The key is to continue to move forward.” Second half woes still haunt TSU, go-ing 3 and out on their first 5 possessions, only totaling 38 yards on the ground for the game. TSU was in the fight but let this one slip away with an anemic performance

coming out of the break. “Play execution is going to be key for us next week and getting everybody headed in the right direction,” Asberry stated. Come support your Tiger football team on October 5 as they face Alabama St 6 p.m. Check for shuttle schedules going from campus to the stadium on game day and re-member that admission is free for all students.

Opinion

When I first heard news of the newly crowned Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri, I was quite surprised. I was not surprised that a beautiful, poised, educated and intelligent brown woman was capable of accomplishing such an es-teemed title, but shocked that she was actually chosen. As the cliché goes, I was pleasantly surprised. It was refreshing to witness an organization that formerly excluded people of color to promote and embrace diversity. Davuluri chose to perform a talent that represented her Indian heritage rather than something more refined and acceptable in the eyes of white America. Furthermore, the newly crowned Miss America is not a fair-skinned Indian nor is she someone whose skin color would typically be preferred and considered beautiful in the eyes of westerners. She is dark-skinned and un-apologetically, Indian American. Some may argue that her traditional Indian dance and Bollywood fusion talent performance was a gimmick and appealed to white America’s affinity for the exotic. This may be true but the implications of a brown woman winning a pageant far out-weigh the ignorant views of those watching. Inspiration and hope is given to little brown girls world-wide, especially the dark-skinned ones who are often considered ugly by their own people, when they see someone who looks just like them holding such an esteemed title. When they are called ugly and worth-

less, they will remember Nina and be empow-ered to endure. Although she was verbally attacked by the country that chose her as its representative, Davuluri responded in such a poise manner when racist attacks were directed toward her on social media sites. Comments such as: “Miss America you should have to be American” and “WHEN WILL A WHITE WOMAN WIN #MISSA-MERICA?” were undoubtedly hurtful. Unfortunately, they represent the rac-ism, ignorance, and resistance to diversity that still plagues this nation. These comments are exactly why Da-vuluri’s features, performance, and crowning are so significant—they are actively challeng-ing people who share these backwards beliefs and teaching people, particularly children, that diversity is beautiful. The Miss America pageant high-lights America’s most talented,

poised, and educated women and

crown-

ing an Indian American as Miss America was the per- fect platform to show that women of all colors, cultures, and races are good enough to represent one of the greatest countries in the world. When is the last time you saw a woman of color embrace her heritage to a crowd filled with every race except her own?

This was once common but now nearly every black celebrity female wears hair exten-sions or gets a nose job to thin out her Afri-canized bridge, and very few of these women are dark-skinned. Unlike these women, Davuluri did not suppress her Indian heritage to achieve her goal. We as young blacks can learn from that and use it to reconnect with our own natu-ral beauty and African heritage, even when others or members of our own com- munity do not under-

stand.
