UH puts its spin on Harlem Shake, and legendary coach Lewis becomes Hall candidate again

Darlene CamposStaff writer
The Student Right to Know Act, if passed by the U.S. govern-ment, would require all colleges to report the average salaries of post-graduates, remedial enrollment, credit earnings and graduation rates, as well as the average debt accumulated while attending the university.
The bill was introduced by Oregon Senator Ron Wyden in Washington D.C. at the start of February.
The purpose of the act, as out-lined by Wyden, would allow pro-spective college students to make a more informed decision about their education and future career.
“Students have a right to know how long it will take them to com-plete their education, what their likelihood of completion is, how
far that education will take them after graduation and at what cost,” Wyden said in his outline of the bill. “They deserve to know this information before they invest thousands of dollars and years of their lives.”
Though the Student Right to Know Act was proposed last year and is still undergoing approval processing, UH, as well all Texas institutions of higher education, may be affected in the future.
“We (UH) do not comment on pending litigation. We will, of course, fully comply with appli-cable law,” said Shawn Lindsey, director of media relations for Marketing and Communication.
“It sounds as though Texas is already working to make the type of information proposed in the bill

UH shakes things upStudents congregated in Lynn B. Eusan Park outside of Cougar Village to participate in a Harlem Shakes video. The viral-video trend has been taking over YouTube, and colleges across the U.S. have made their own versions. Participants dressed in various get-ups with wild props, such as a canoe, kiddie pool and a light saber. Shasta made a cameo appearance, which signifi cantly contributed to the swell of cougar pride.

“We want to make sure that we find and attract a provost that can continue and even build on the momentum that we’ve established as a Tier One university,” said pro-fessor John Lee, a Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen distinguished university chair for petroleum engineering.
“It’s very important that we find a provost who has the vision to not only see where we’re headed now, but also can identify additional ways in which the University of Houston can achieve what it really

Students will get the chance to try out lounge and dining hall furniture for the future UC.
From 9 a.m. to noon today in the Fort Worth Room, participating students will have the opportunity to test a wide variety of tables and chairs and leave their feedback on aesthetics, comfort and func-tion. Brochures will be available to give students an idea of the colors, materials and designs that the fur-niture comes in.
Faculty and staff are welcome to visit the furniture showing as well. The opinions of those who attend will be a deciding factor in the final choice of furniture.
“Here at the UC, it’s a student building. This is our student cen-ter, so it’s really important to us that we’re able to offer students the opportunity to say, ‘This is our building, this is what we’re paying
for,’ and actually chose what they want to get,” said Micah Kenfield, the UC programs coordinator.
Furniture is being provided from companies with showrooms across Houston.
Some companies featured are Stylex, Emeco, Haworth, Low-enstein and Martin Brattrud. Environmental-friendly options will also be available. Among the variety of contenders are chairs made out of recycled plastics and aluminum.
“The whole UC process has been trying to be as transparent as possible,” Kenfield said.
“That’s why we’re really intent on getting student feedback. We don’t want to just pick something and then have students (dislike them). It happens across cam-pus, students don’t really feel like they’re getting their buy-in.”

Every February, some Christians enter a period of reverence called Lent — one that may restrict their diets.
Living and dining on campus can pose a problem for students who are honoring this season. Mathematics senior Juan Robledo has a hard time deciding on which entrée to choose at the Nom Mi Street food truck.
“In the previous semesters, I used to order bean burritos from Taco Bell or fish sandwiches from Wendy’s, but this year I decided not to give up anything for Lent,” Robledo said. “I attended the Ash Wednesday mass services last week and we are encour-aged to not eat meat on Fridays until Easter.”
Parked outside the Catholic Newman Center, Nom Mi Street is a popular lunch destination for many students. During Lent, Nom Mi has several vegetarian options.
McAlister’s Deli is another dining facility that offers a Lent menu for its customers.
Media production senior Rashad Eaglin gave up soft drinks for Lent and now orders tea from the McAl-ister’s menu.
“I have friends that belong to the Catholic Student Organization who like to come here for lunch and I

Some things you might find on a typical Cougar’s mind could include class, work, homework, networking and finals, all while juggling life. This list of priorities can sometimes feel suffocat-ing. Young, single members of the pride are beginning to feel like they have a grasp on their dreams. The thought of taking a significant other’s dreams into account before one is fully comfortable with his own seems a little unbelievable.
For some, this idea does not seem so outlandish. My lungs seemed to fail me upon hear-ing the news of my roommate and her boyfriend’s impending nuptials. This abrupt news made me question the velocity of my maturity in comparison to that of other people my age.
“How are you going to plan a wedding? I don’t even know how to balance a checkbook,” I said to my friend.
“Yeah, it will be definitely be
difficult, but Pinterest will help,” my friend said.
Pinterest is a pinboard-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image col-lections such as events, interests, and hobbies.
Of the 33 categories avail-able at the top of Pinterest for easy access, there is a category labeled “Weddings.” Under this category, pinners are able to view a seemingly infinite amount of pictures that range from gloriously beautiful wedding dresses to perfectly assorted flower arrangements and from a variety of do-it-yourself projects to helpful ideas on how to plan a wedding on a budget.
Modea, a digital advertising agency, did research last year into the usage of Pinterest, and found that 68.2 percent of users are women, 41.7 percent are 18 to 34 years old and 71.9 percent have an annual household income of less than $100,000. One could paint a picture of
the typical Pinterest user: a young woman earning less than $100,000, possibly still in school or in the early stages of her career and money is possibly an issue in her life.
Do not misunderstand; all these things are useful to the future blushing bride, and being able to see all of these amenities in one place is convenient. This board could be quite helpful. Pinterest has the convenience of Google but with an emphasis on what you can see more than what you can read. “Pinners” do not have to go searching for specific aspects to add to their wedding; it is already compiled onto a seemingly infinite board on Pinterest.
The convenience and fairy-tale bliss is changing the way young adults view marriage and relationships. Young women are forming wedding boards with the vision of the most perfect and picturesque wedding. Upon

“Proponents of gun control are greatly limited in their ability to affect meaningful change by the second amendment itself. Its wording is both ambiguous and contentious, but as long as it stands, little headway can be made in curtailing the ownership of fi rearms and associated gun violence. There is little recourse, but to repeal the second amendment and replace it with a something
that explicitly reclassifi es the ownership of guns as a privilege, that can be tightly regulated by the government.
While extreme in measure, presidency for this can be found within the constitution itself; one simply has to turn to the 18th and 21st Amendments. The 18th Amendment prohibited the manu-facture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages, going into effect in 1920. Thirteen years later, much to the chagrin of bootleggers
everywhere, the 21st Amendment repealed prohibition. This exempli-fi es the beauty of the Constitution as a mutable document that can be altered to fi t social and technologi-cal dynamics. The founders were aware of need to be able to adapt the law to fi t the needs of the people and provided a mechanism to do so.
We are now a fundamentally different country from when the

“I’m a person who is generally to the left in most major issues and in my political worldview; however, when it comes to the question of guns, I believe the government should limit our second amend-ment rights as little as possible.
Some believe that we should ban assault weapons, but most gun murders are done by handguns. Some think that guns should be outlawed altogether, but like drugs,
if somebody feels the need to have it, they’ll seek it and most of the times, they fi nd it with little to no trouble.
Gun stores should require background checks, but I believe that they should also require a gun license similar to a driver’s license. To obtain it, one should pass a safety exam and know how to properly use their gun, how to store their gun and basic laws

about the gun. After that, the person should be allowed as many guns as they want.
I don’t think the amount of
gun violence in the United States is a consequence of lax gun laws, but to something specifi c to our country. There are still dangerous places in the United States, specifi -cally low-income neighborhoods and cities where the police aren’t always able or willing to protect
people.Given this, guns can be helpful
and we should be able to own them without unneccesary govern-ment intervention.”

right to bear arms was fi rst enshrined in the Constitu-tion, and the threat of gun violence in society warrants the addition of a 28th Amendment. In the deliberately arcane wording of most government documents, I propose the following:
Section 1: In promoting the minimization of vio-lence, being towards the common good of the people, Congress hereby repeals the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution and prohibits the private ownership of any unregistered fi rearm. This law further restricts the types of fi rearms that are eligible for registration as defi ned in section 2. Ownership of a registered fi rearm is limited to U.S. citizens who possess a valid license, as issued by the Federal Government and defi ned in section 3. As defi ned by law, a fi rearm is any weapon or device that launches a projectile or projectiles by chemical, electrical or other physical means. The private ownership of fi rearms capable of ejecting more
than one projectile per trigger-mechanism is prohib-ited. The private ownership of any fi rearm with a barrel length of less than 16 inches is explicitly prohibited.
Section 2: All fi rearms must possess a unique identifi cation number. Registration of a fi rearm entails entering the UIN into a national database established and maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Section 3: Firearm ownership licensure entails undergoing a criminal background check, fi rearm use profi ciency test and evaluation of mental state. Pend-ing clearance, a license can be obtained free of charge and is valid for a period of fi ve years, subject to renewal.
Rightfully, it is incredibly diffi cult to amend the Constitution, and there is little chance of such a contentious bill ever seeing the light of day. Never the less, I fear that unless we free the government to properly protect its people, gun violence will continue unabated.”

grazing the page, the word that comes to one’s mind is “dream.”
“Obviously, (Pinterest) gives people ideas,” said anthropology and nutrition junior Brittani Gore. “Negatively, people could say that it gives unrealis-tic expectations because people don’t realize how expensive weddings really are.”
While there are tuxedos and cufflinks for the groom, the site seems to be built primarily around the bride.
“My sister was able to help me pick out my fiancee’s engagement ring from looking at (my fiancee’s) wedding board on Pinterest,” said petro-leum engineering sophomore Shane Brandt. “I had a general idea of what she would have liked, but it was nice to look at examples.”
Young women are forming this idea of a wedding and asking the man to squeeze his foot into the five-inch-heel-like mold the woman strategically picked out.
With Pinterest, these potential brides can have the wedding they want while cutting costs and
doing things themselves, and the temptation is too tough for some of them to resist, and as a result, some of these married couples may be rushing to the altar sooner than they want to or should, perhaps both.
In May 2010, the Texas Department of State Health Service’s Center for Health Statistics released a report on marriage and divorce trends from 1970 to 2006.
Among men, 48.3 percent of divorcees are 30 to 44 years old.
In 2006, 47.1 percent of divorced men are 25 to 39 years old, while 50.4 percent of divorced women are 25 to 39 years old.
Young people still have a good chance to stay married through middle age, so statistics like this should serve as a cautionary tale, not a deterrent. Young adults may be rushing to the altar too soon, and Pinterest is making it harder to resist the temptation.
Perhaps for a while, we should stick to our Dis-ney movies, Call of Duty, the “Humor” category of Pinterest and keep our dreams just that — dreams.

HALL OF FAME COMMENTARY
Coach deserves Hall recognition
Christopher SheltonSports editor
Before the season began, sophomore guard Joseph Young stressed being an
everyday guy on the basketball court — a player who worked out before practice, competed hard during each session and put up extra shots in the gym after practice.
Young’s mentality was instilled, in part, by his dad, Michael Young, who competed at UH from 1980 to 1984 and was an integral part of the Phi Slama Jama teams that reached the Final Four three consecutive times.
Michael learned the lesson from legendary coach Guy V. Lewis.
“He taught me how to be an
everyday person. He taught me about consistency and playing hard in practice everyday,” Michael said. “We came to practice everyday and learned how to work hard in practice. I think that’s made me successful.”
Now, Lewis has a chance to be recognized for the accomplish-ments that players like Michael helped him attain.
Lewis, who won 592 games while head basketball coach at UH, was selected as a fi nalist for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame during All Star Weekend. Lewis must receive 75 percent — 18 of 24 votes — from the Honors Committee for election into the Hall of Fame. This year’s class will be revealed at the NCAA Final Four in Atlanta in April.
Lewis made 14 NCAA Tourna-ment appearances, including fi ve Final Four appearances, fi nishing as national runner-up in 1983 and 1984, and he developed three Hall

of Famers who are all members of the NBA’s Top 50 players — but his stats are only a small portion of his case to be included.
Under Lewis’ tutelage, UH was the fi rst athletics department in Texas to integrate when he signed Don Chaney and Elvin Hayes in 1964.
“There were no schools in the South, basically, recruiting black athletes,” Hayes said in an Associated Press article. “He paved the way in basketball. You watch LSU, Kentucky, Alabama now, they have all these great black athletes. These schools weren’t even look-ing at them back then.”
Lewis pushed bounds that lifted college basketball to new levels after Lewis approached UCLA head coach John Wooden about a game between the top two teams in the nation. In front of 52,000 fans in the Astrodome, UH and Elvin Hayes defeated Kareem Abdul-Jabar’s UCLA squad 71-69. It was the fi rst nationally televised regular-season college basketball game.
Athletics Director Mack Rhoades said Lewis’ contribu-tions are worthy of hall of fame recognition.
“You think about the criteria in terms of getting into the hall of fame,” Rhoades said. “Certainly, it’s winning a lot of games, but he had an impact on the game itself, whether it was the fi rst (in Texas) in terms of integration and recruit-ing African-American players, his style of play to TV and the game against UCLA.”
Lewis also helped change the way college basketball was played.
The Fab Five, a nickname given to fi ve highly recruited freshman who all went to Michigan, were a mirror image of the Phi Slama Jama teams of the 1980s. Both schools played a consortium of talented freshmen, which led the team to national-title appear-ances. Michigan played a similar up-tempo style that most teams couldn’t compete with.
Most similar is that both schools failed to win a national title.
Hall of fame coach Larry Brown doesn’t believe Lewis’ failure to win a title should keep him from being enshrined.
“I coached against him in 1983. That might have been my fi rst college game at Kansas. It was against Phi Slama Jama. My mom said, ‘What are you scheduling that game for your fi rst game.’ I’ve always admired him. He has always been a gentle, nice man that made our game better,” Brown said. “I’m old school, and those coaches were old school. They were real coaches. All the guys that played for that man just had such wonderful things to say about him and then you see their success. I’m pretty confi dent people will recognize that.”
Without Lewis, the history of basketball is incomplete: The Game of the Century, arguably the greatest game in college basketball history, never happens; Phi Slama Jama, one of the most compelling basketball stories ever, never occurs; and Elvin Hayes doesn’t get to play college basketball on its grandest stage.
If the Hall has space to enshrine coaches from the WNBA, Yugoslavia, the Euroleague and high school, it certainly has space for Lewis.

Harlem Shake gets painted redBoJanay PoseyStaff writer
Hundreds of students dashed onto the stage of Lynn Eusan Park on Wednesday to fi lm UH’s version of the Harlem Shake.
The Harlem Shake is an outdated dance that has recently captured viral media. “Other universities have jumped on board, and now UH will show who is the best at it,” said Jessica Grono, Student Program Board president.
“We’re better than UT. We had to do one.”
The crowd was one of the larg-est the SPB has seen in such short notice, Grono said. With the help of the administration, the student video network, and the College Kids, SPB planned and marketed the event in a week.
“If you’re going to give credit, give it to the students,” Grono said.
Students came in their UH gear, masks, bikinis and costumes such as King Kong, SpongeBob Squarepants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Gingerbread Man. Shasta even boogied.
“This is awesome. This is what being a Cougar is all about,” said Cedric Bandoh, Student Govern-ment Association president. “This is how star our Coog community is.”
Bandoh danced in the crowd alongside students such as Mike Feliciano, a management infor-mation systems junior who was dressed as Spiderman.
“I like being at UH. There’s a lot of school spirit here. I used to go to UT, and this rivals it,” Feliciano said. “The student body here keeps life at UH pretty fun.”
University of Texas is one of the
many universities that has a Harlem Shake.
Psychology junior Ashkan Ghashghai strutted to the scene on jumping stilts and dressed as Waldo because he said it would be easy to fi nd in the video.
“I think it is cool that someone
is thinking of stuff like this,” Ghash-ghai said.
Some students whipped out their phones and took the viewer approach. Students like Rico Fran-cis, a media production junior, watched from behind the stage.
“It’s crazy,” Francis said. “I came
to support (UH), support the move-ment. It’s nice to get a break from school.”
Francis applauded SPB for put-ting the event together so quickly. He wasn’t alone. Nutrition sopho-more Michelle Ruiz was impressed by the crowd as she watched from
her seat on the stage.“The Harlem Shake is a pretty
ridiculous fad,” Ruiz said. “All these people show a lot of pride.”
The video is expected to be on YouTube by the end of the week.
Hundreds of students showed up at Lynn B. Eusan Park Wednesday to show off their Cougar pride for the fi lming of the UH version of the viral hit “Harlem Shake.” The event was organized by the Student Program Board and Student Video Network via Facebook and other social media. | Nichole Taylor/The Daily Cougar
WOMEN’S RESOURCE CENTER
What’s love got to do with it?
Maritza RodriguezContributing writer
According to the Pew Research Center, interracial marriages have been on the rise since it became legal in 1967. Interracial dating is important topic that affects UH students, and it and was discussed at Wednesday’s weekly Gender Talk at the Women’s Resource Center.
WRC’s program coordinator Malkia Hutchinson said that people should know the views of interra-cial dating since UH is culturally diverse.
“There are a lot of issues that can come into play when dating someone outside of your race,” Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson showed a clip from the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wed-ding” in which the main character invites her fi ance to meet her Greek family for the fi rst time. Although the family of the bride was very hos-tile to her new non-Greek fi ance,
the family still welcomed him.WRC Director Beverly McPhail
shared her experience on how her parents had issues with her rela-tionship with someone of a differ-ent race.
“My parents never said a word about me dating another race, until I went to college, and were outraged when they found out,” McPhail said. “Nothing was ever said, but I guess they felt it was understood.”

race. Money might be an issue since one partner can have a higher income than the other, and the difference in culture might cause issues with family members.
English senior Joy Lester said being a product of an interracial relationship has helped her under-stand her parents’ culture.
Although her grandparents were not okay with the relationship, her parents educated her siblings and her.
“It’s very interesting to see other peoples’ views on the experiences they went through,” Lester said. “Parents should educate their chil-dren on the different cultures there are in this country.”
Interracial relationships may run into problems within the fam-ily or in the public eye. Hutchinson said couples should not live in a bubble because it does not end up leading to a healthy, long-lasting relationship.
“Be with someone that makes you happy, and that person may not be your type,” Hutchinson said. “Get to know the person and who they really are.”
FOOD
McAlister’s tingles the taste budsBoJanay PoseyStaff writer
In dining areas, it can be diffi -cult to fi nd healthy and affordable options. It seems though McAlis-ter’s Deli, which has been serving the UH for the past fi ve years, has been getting a fi ve-paw rating from Cougars.
“The food is a healthy alterna-tive to other places on campus. The atmosphere is really relaxed,” said sports administration sophomore Brandon Moore.
Moore eats at McAlister’s at least once a week. He likes the customer service, upbeat staff, TVs and music. He fi nds only one slight downside: the occasional long lines.
“They’re really good at picking their staff. If I did have a problem, it got corrected fast,” Moore said.
Moore likes to order the spicy southwest chicken griller, a grilled sandwich stuffed with chicken, corn, guacamole, pepper jack cheese and chipotle ranch. Along-side that, he gets a country potato.
McAlister’s Deli’s menu consists of such items as the spud ole, a potato crammed with chili, cheddar
jack cheese and sliced jalapenos, and the savannah chopped salad is a large bowl of lettuce, grilled chicken, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, tomatoes, cucumbers and gorgonzola cheese.
McAlister’s has a feature menu that changes every couple of months, said Jared Bowser, McAl-ister’s night shift lead. McAlister’s feature menu for this month is Cajun shrimp. They offer a po-boy, wrap and salad.
Bowser is a hotel and restaurant management senior. He started working at McAlister’s two years ago to get real world experience.
He and the cooks have made up to 200 to 300 orders an hour and he loves being that busy, and the cooks
are not the only ones who play a part in making sure the orders are right, Bowser said.
“A lot of times we make mistakes. The expos check food, those people are very good at catching the big mistakes,” Bowser said.
If mistakes do slip past, Bowser testifi es that McAlister’s has under-standing customers.
“Most of the time, our customers are some of the best,” Bowser said. “Normally, our customers are above and beyond.”
Such customers would be optometry second-year graduate student Valori Waggoner, who likes to get a baked potato when she drops into McAlister’s on her way to the Calhoun Lofts.
“Most times, the food is good. It’s never disgusting,” Waggoner said. “I like (it) because it’s less fast food.”
Waggoner likes the convenience of McAlister’s. She thinks the prices are fair and compared to other places, McAlister’s has better food. Waggoner also likes the customer service.
“They’re very friendly. They try to keep things moving,” Waggoner said.
McAlister’s speed has been questioned by some students such as pharmacy freshman Cameron Billingsley.
“I think they are kind of under-staffed. It always takes a long time,” Billingsley said. “The food is of rea-sonable quality if you’re willing to wait.”
Cameron likes that McAlister’s stays open later than other places on campus, however if he had other options he would go elsewhere, he said.
“They kind of have a monopoly on campus. You kind (of) have no choice,” Cameron said.

BASEBALL COMMENTARY
Cougars show improvement in limited actionAndrew PateStaff writer
Through what has been a small sampling of their 52-game schedule, the new-
look Cougars – 19 new members to be exact – showed glimpses of bril-liance at the plate, signs of slight improvement on the mound and the ability to win on the road.
UH has tallied three victories in four matchups against Colonial Athletic Association (North-eastern Huskies) and Southland Conference (Sam Houston State Bearkats), but wins are wins and head coach Todd Whitting is keep-ing things in perspective.
“We learned an extremely valu-able lesson for a young ball club,” Whitting said. “You have to come out and play every day. I sensed after the fi rst two games that we were patting ourselves on the back a little bit.”
The Cougars will look to con-tinue road momentum Friday in San Marcos against a Texas State ballclub that recently scored nine runs in a 10-9 loss to Sam Houston
State, a team the Cougars defeated 6-3.
“I’m really proud of the guys tonight. This was a big win for us as it was the fi rst time to be on the road for a lot of these players,” Whitting said. “We competed from
the time the game started to the last pitch was thrown. There were plenty of times to shut down, but they kept grinding, and that is championship baseball.”
With pitching being a major question coming into the season,
Whitting and company spoke confi dently in the hitters’ abilities to relieve some pressure from the pitcher’s grind.
In response, freshman infi elder Justin Montemayor’s .417 average (5-for-12) and four runs leads all
hitters while freshman infi elder Josh Vidales and freshman out-fi elder Kyle Survance each have compiled .400 averages and a trio of runs.
“He’s making me look like a genius putting a freshman in the one hole,” Whitting said of Vidales. “He’s a gritty player, and he’s done exactly what we’ve asked him to do.”
On the mound, the Cougars have managed to escape jams, and the starters have managed a com-bined 2.39 ERA including senior pitcher Austin Pruitt’s six-inning shutout against Northeastern on Saturday.
After returning from San Marcos, UH will take on Houston Baptist on Tuesday before facing Texas A&M, Baylor and California in the Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park.
“There were plenty of times to shut down, but they kept grinding, and that is championship base-ball,” Whitting said.

Younger players step up in winsHarrison LeeStaff writer
Sophomore pitcher Aaron Garza and freshman pitcher Jake Lemoine combined to hold Sam Houston State to three runs. Cougar bats roared to life in the top of the ninth to break the 3-3 tie and win the night at 6-3. Lemoine’s relief appearance enabled him to get his fi rst collegiate win.
The two pitchers gave up eight hits and only two earned runs against four strikeouts over the course of the game, which helped to keep the team ERA at 3.00. Garza issued two walks in his six innings of work. The solid pitching performance helped UH to its fourth win of the season.
“I’m really proud of the guys tonight,” said head coach Todd Whit-ting. “This was a big win for us as it was the fi rst time to be on the road (with UH) for a lot of these players.”
Freshmen Kyle Survance and Kyle Kirk led the hitters with two hits apiece, while they teamed with freshman fi rst baseman Justin Mon-temayor and redshirt sophomore Chris Waylock to drive in one run each.
Junior catcher Caleb Barker
extended his streak of games with an RBI to four, as he went 1-4 in the game. It was Berker’s fifth hit and fourth RBI of the season. Redshirt freshman outfi elder Ashford Fulmer and junior outfi elder Jonathan Davis also contributed with RBIs.
“We competed really well,” Whit-ting said. “That was my challenge to the team tonight. There were plenty of times to shut down, but they kept grinding and that is championship baseball.”
The defense did more than its share to back up the pitchers. Junior outfielder Landon Appling helped assist in a double play that erased a Bearkat runner. Junior shortstop Frankie Ratcliff showed his fi elding skills with a snag of a hard-hit ball up the middle. Both plays occurred after Lemoine came in relief in the seventh inning.
The Cougars will stay on the road from Friday to the Sunday with a three-game series in San Marcos versus Texas State. UH will return to Cougar Field on Tuesday to face Houston Baptist University.

is capable of achieving.”Lee, along with his co-chair,
Vice Chancellor and Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Walker, requested to approach the Faculty Senate during its meeting.
Faculty Senate President Steven Wallace presided at the meeting held in the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Pavilion in M.D. Anderson Memo-rial Library for the first time since taking the gavel Jan. 23.
The senior vice president for Academic Affairs and provost position acts as chief academic officer, and whoever fills it will be responsible for student access and success as well as all academic programs and policies.
Since former Provost John Antel stepped down from his official role as provost in early January, UH has gradually made steps to appoint-ing a replacement.
Paula Short was named interim senior vice chancellor and provost until the search committee finishes their work.
Faculty took turns voicing their opinions on what an ideal candidate would possess during the meeting.
Among the suggestions and
requests made by faculty sen-ate leaders were scholarly vision combined with the ability to get things done.
Shared governance, recent teaching experience, a dedication to excellence and communication and problem-solving skills were also listed as important qualities for potential provost candidates.
Co-chairs Lee and Walker will compose a list of qualifications that will be provided after the solicitation phase. They intend to review all candidates in March.
President and Chancellor Renu Khator also urged everyone to attend the open forums that will take place during the search pro-cess for the next provost.
Please come to the open forums and participate, Khator said during the Faculty Senate meeting.
“Two people assessing the logis-tics of the search is one thing, but 200 people giving their feedback would be quite another,” Khator said.
An estimated three to four finalists will be invited to attend campus interviews between April 28 and May 9.
The committee intends to com-pleting the search process before the end of the semester..
available this spring.”The Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board has been working to address the points mentioned in the Student Right to Know Act.
In 2012, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board researched the amount of time it takes an average student to com-plete a 4-year degree.
According to the 2012 Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Almanac, 120 credit hours are required to earn a 4-year degree.
The average student takes between five to six years to gradu-ate from a 4-year institution.
With this bill, potential college students will be able to view which institutions have an average 4-year graduation rate.
“Texas is a national leader for using data to drive policy. Texas was one of the first, and remains one of the few, to have a robust accountability system that mea-sures the progress on higher education metrics critical for stakeholders to track and under-stand,” said the 2012 Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Almanac.
“The 2013 Almanac will include average yearly salaries by degree area for 2006 baccalaureate gradu-ates at one, three and five years after degree completion. In addi-tion, the average undergraduate debt by area at the time of gradu-ation will be shown for those students who obtained state and federal loans.”
Raymund Paredes, director of the Texas Higher Education Coor-dinating Board, gave his plans for future college students in a December 2012 testimony.
“We will continue to publish the Almanac each year to place the most relevant state and insti-tutional data in the hands of higher education officials, busi-ness leaders and policymakers so they understand how Texas higher education is performing,” Paredes said.
“We will begin to expand access to data for parents and students. This will help parents and students to begin to evaluate data like time-to-degree and graduation rates in addition to just tuition and fees, financial aid and available majors when making decisions about which college is the right fit.”

never noticed that there was a Lent menu offered to students. Now that I know, I would love to give it a try,” Eaglin said.
UH Dining Services have always tried to offer seafood choices on Fridays during Lent at its residential dining halls. Cougar Woods will con-tinue to serve a vegetarian entrée, while Moody Towers will increase its selections in the vegetarian station.
UH dietitian Caroline Sullivan and Dining Services have improved the program by increasing the number of offerings and improving recipes to
their diners’ preferences.“Students can look for seafood
gumbo, tuna salad, baked fish, to shrimp quesadillas and many more delicious meals that fi t into Lenten observances,” Sullivan said.
Students can also find vegetar-ian options at Subway, Bare Bowls Kitchen, Tandoori Nite and Kim Son Restaurant, and fi nd seafood options at Sushic and Kim Son.
“During Lent, when I have given up certain foods and not consuming meat, I sometimes eat snack bars and have learned to adapt to differ-ent menu dishes, but there is always something good to eat,” Robledo said.
