THE DAILY COUGAR In the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Allies signed an armistice with Germany effectively marking the defeat of Germany and the end of WWI, which claimed the lives of more than nine million people. This day, proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson at the time, became known as Armistice Day symbolizing the end of the largest war ever fought and honoring the veterans who fought it. Years
later, President Dwight Eisenhower signed Veterans Day into law on May 26, 1954. “Veterans Day is important because it gives the whole nation a chance to recognize and give thanks to its veterans for all the sacrifice required in serving the nation as a member of its Armed Services,” UH Veterans’ Services Program Director Allen Grundy said. “They are the protectors of this great democracy.” Grundy said Veterans Day is important to him because of his own personal service, like many other veterans. “This day is a memorable day because of my memories — how my service made me a more productive citizen as I spent 22 years in a combination of the Air Force and the Army National Guard,” he said.
“It gave me patriotism that I did not have prior to entering the military.” Today’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan mean there’s a new group of veterans to honor, and with a substantial group of student veterans at UH, the Veterans’ Services Office and the UH Corp of Cadets dubbed this week Veterans Awareness Week, hosting several events which started Monday and end today. Grundy suggested that there is more than one way for students to take part in one of the national holiday. “Students can participate in UH activities that highlight the memories of the living and deceased military veterans, or VETERANS continues on page 3

“I really liked the movie. The poetry, although powerful and beautiful, was a bit distracting at times, but it had to be a part of this film. I missed the play when it was out. The acting in the film was superb. There were a lot of tears in the theater. “For Colored Girls” was for every girl. Many women could identify with the characters.”
Back to Basics Hey alexx, I’ve got a dilemma going on involving my girlfriend. You see, I’ve been in this relationship with this beautiful girl for a year. She’s everything I could ask for and more. Lately, it seems like everytime we get together, either we argue about petty stuff or don’t have much to talk about. It feels like we’ve lost our spark for each other. I feel like she’s bored and my attention isn’t focused on her anymore. Sometimes, it’s more of a routine than an actual relationship — like we’ve settled into a boring phase.

STAFF EDITORIAL
Movie studios don’t care about books, just money Both the Twilight and the Harry Potter movie sagas are splitting their final chapters into two movies. So if you were hoping to get your final fix, know that you have at least another year before you’re dragged out to see the climax of Bella and Edward’s glitter-filled romance. Even the people who go crazy for this series have to care, because it is kind of ridiculous to think they need another movie to do either Harry Potter or Twilight’s finale justice. Harry Potter’s films are only adaptations from the books — obviously there are key plot elements left out in each novel’s screen equivalent. This isn’t a bad thing; it’s something that has to be done to make the movie watchable. Imagine if Lord of the Rings had as much singing in the movie as there was in the book. It would make for a terrible movie, and everyone knows that. Series endings aren’t being split into two parts because the movie studio is worried about the storyline; they’re worried about the bottom line — and the bottom line is money. It would be nice to think that these artistic endeavors had more to do with that, but really they don’t. There is just so much revenue to be made from these products that the idea of them coming to an end could send any scared executive running for their job. When these sagas take to the screen, they’re bringing much more than just what’s on the reel — they’re bringing merchandise, increased book sales and studio prestige with them. On the Hot Topic, website they have 145 items for Twilight — that’s eight web pages of nothing but Twilight. It’s just too much to squeeze out of one thing. Movies are meant to be fun, and what they’ve done is profit off of the one group that cares about them — their fans. While Twilight and Harry Potter might not be the best additions ever made to the literary community, they’re not the worst. But what they managed to do is turn these products into a giant fad, nothing more. It’s more unappealing to think that as soon as the movies are over they’ll be looking for the next thing.

Personal beliefs don’t judge talent
I
t was announced last week that French-Swiss film maker, screenwriter and critic Jean-Luc Godard will be receiving an honorary Oscar on Nov. 13. For those not familiar with Godard’s work, he is often identified with the French New Wave — otherwise known as “La Nouvelle Vague” — where classical cinema was rejected and replaced with radiCamila cal experimentation in Cossio editing, style and the traditional narrative. After the announcement of his award became public, the news got a lot of media attention — not for the award, but for Godard’s personal life. As it turns out, he might be anti-Semitic, and that made a lot of people in the film industry uncomfortable for a while. There should be no tolerance for anti-Semitism. Prejudice against or
hostility toward Jews for cultural or religious reasons is absolutely wrong. However, Jean-Luc Godard may have anti-Semitic inclinations or he may not, but it’s not exactly clear. Godard is well known for being an advocate for pro-Palestinian rights, but being pro-Palestinian does not at all mean you’re anti-Jewish. Some of his films suggest a possible disdain for Jews, like in his documentary “Here and There,” where Adolf Hitler’s face pops up, as well as Golda Meir — Israel’s fourth prime minister. Supposedly, Godard was making a point that the two were equal. Art is a really complicated subject to judge because there is rarely a right or wrong answer. If Godard is an antiSemite, my love for him as an individual just fell apart, but my love for his movies is still as strong as always. In Godard’s choppy black-and-white scenes, young, fashionable characters
speak like the most nonchalant philosophers imaginable, and his extraordinary mixture of harsh life with pop culture is so visually refreshing — then and now. Ultimately, all of our idols can be flawed. In a 1987 interview, he was quoted as criticizing the film industry for being united in Jewish usury. “What I find interesting in the cinema is that, from the beginning, there is the idea of debt. The real producer is, all the same, the image of the Central European Jew,” Godard said. His comments should most definitely receive negative attention from the press but not his work. His art should be left alone. There should almost always be a separation between ideology and art, between who the producer is and what he produces.

Red light cameras leave the city in the red
P
roposition 3 was recently defeated by a 53 to 47 percent margin, removing the red light cameras in Houston. Houston isn’t the only city that is plagued with these cameras. It is believed that this decision will influence cities that still have these cameras running, like Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, League City and Arlington. Driving in this city Margarita is always a pain, with Campos passive aggressive drivers going under the speed limit and other drivers cutting you off because you don’t drive to their standards. But the most painful part is accidently running a red light or being accused of doing so. If you’ve been photographed — despite your possible innocence — a ticket will arrive in the mail along with an Arizona return address for your fine.
In 2006, the city of Houston made a contract with a private company in Arizona, American Traffic Solutions, to install the cameras, and citizens reacted in mixed ways. Advocates of the cameras see them as a good call, claiming a reduction in accidents. Opponents claim that the cameras do the opposite and that the red light systems are a form of big government. However, even with Proposition 3 defeated, Houstonians should expect these cameras to remain running for some time. The Arizona private company states that there is a 120-day cancellation notice on the contract, and the city of Houston states that it is impossible to break said contract because the fees are too expensive. If the citizens voted against the red light cameras, haven’t they won fair and square? It is understandable that there are fees to pay, as with any other broken contract.
But when it comes to a political matter, it is important to abide by the rules. We have voted the cameras out, and it seems like the city wants to continue to get as much money from tickets as they can until they have to definitely remove them. Mayor Annise Parker has said that with the removal of the cameras, the city will face budget cuts of $10 million, a gap created by the voters’ decision. But the city has voted and it’s time to remove all the cameras, whether drivers are put at risk or not. It is now the responsibility of the driver to respect traffic signals. The city of Houston should pay the fee to break the contract, even though it might be pricey. If we can respect their laws, then the least the city can do is respect our decisions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Send yours to letters@thedailycougar.com
Attacks on church are a misguided effort It is said, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I condemn al-Qaeda’s massacre of 60 worshippers assembled at the Our Lady of Salvation Church in Iraq. This horrendous act was perpetrated in the name of Islam, whereas the Quran categorically sanctions the protection of all places of worship, specifically churches (22:40-41). This is yet another example of Al Qaeda’s exploitation of Islam to promote their unholy agenda. I offer my condolences to the families of the victims. Unfortunately, we live in an age of “guided missiles and misguided men.” Khalid Bhatti is an application developer and works at the University of Houston.
In response to the article: Perry’s unprecedented perilous tenure continues My sentiments exactly. I am ashamed of my generation’s ineptitude in exercising our civil rights to impinge on Perry’s ingress on Texas and our future. His interests are to serve those who put him in office and keep him there — those being the corporations that hold the most financial interests in this state, read: energy.
There are at least five people I personally know who did not vote, and it infuriates me. This is the result of the apathy, cynicism, ignorance and contempt for the government that should serve you. Now you’ve chosen to let corporations give rise to a government that indentures you to its service. You can’t have such unbridled greed and the extraordinary wealth of so few, whilst also having a free, educated and stable society. Milton Friedman, “Reaganomics,” deregulation, Adam Smith, Rand Corporation and self-interested, self-invested unbridled greed has created this global economic meltdown. You idiots who didn’t vote — you let this happen, and you may b***h and moan, but in the end you are supplicated by minutiae designed to distract you, where you’ll happily return to being just another brick in the wall. I’m 24 and I’m not going to bring any children into this world if they’re doomed to live shoulder-deep in this ignorance and waste. The saddest part is that I’m sure the worst of this has yet to come. It is those who are so obsessed with the end of the world, that — in all the irony — they are indeed hastening the march to just that. History, as told by the vigilant spectators of this world, will be the judge. I soulfully dream for the day where we will see humanity save itself from its
own stupidity. Aurash Fidel Kamalipour
In response to the STAFF EDITORIAL: SHOPLIFTING IS A CRIME — BUT SO IS KILLING SOMEONE Moral of the story: Don’t steal. Don’t turn good people upholding universal values into criminals and make them live with the consequences because of the poor choice you chose to make yourself. The man that runs that shop is kind to all of his customers, has young children and works hard to run an honest family business. Before you write an editorial of judgment based on limited facts from the Houston Chronicle release, you should wait for more details.
Montrose Lefty I am not surprised that DC editorial has backed the wrong side yet again in an opinion on crime and justice. Remember, this staff championed police brutality in its column “In a modern day and age, justice is still being served,” on Oct. 27. No jury is going to convict the shop owner. You are in Texas, and the law is on the clerk’s side. This is what the Texas Constiution Penal Code says about using deadly force to protect property.

Cougars hunker down for Hurricane in Homecoming matchup Upset-minded Tulsa winners of its last three John Brannen
THE DAILY COUGAR Every week when college football coaches answer questions, it seems many are obliged to use the motto of taking it one game at a time. Head coach Kevin Sumlin said he feels that the Cougars are at their best when they live by the cliché. “We’ve reduced it down to one week at a time and tried to be 1-0 at the end of each week,” Sumlin said. “That didn’t happen last week. Our team responds better playing one game at a time and winning today, instead of looking around and trying to handle the big picture. We’re back to that.” Regardless of all the injuries and hardships the Cougars (5-4, 4-2 Conference USA) have endured this season, they still have the upper hand in the C-USA West Division. The Cougars lost linebacker Matt Nicholson to a season-ending knee injury, leaving the team with just two of its original team captains in James Cleveland and Marcus McGraw. Last season when the Cougars were ranked No. 13, they beat Tulsa in a dramatic fashion. Kicker Matt Hogan nailed a 51-yard field goal as time expired to give UH a 46-45 victory. Tulsa (6-3, 3-2) had a momentous 28-27 victory over Notre
Dame on Oct. 30. Last weekend, the Hurricane gave Rice a 64-27 shellacking. They are in third in the C-USA West standings, and would climb up to second with a win. “We average 40, they average 40, but it’s not going to be a tie game,” Sumlin said. “They don’t allow ties anymore. They’re extremely explosive, and over the last three weeks they threw over 500 yards a game. “We’ve got a plan to disrupt them, they’ve got a plan to disrupt us. That’s why you play the game.” Tulsa is led by quarterback G.J. Kinne who has thrown for 2422 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. Receiver and kickoff returner Damaris Johnson could be a threat to the Cougars. Last weekend he became the all-time C-USA leader in career kickoff return yards with 3,054. He is 65 yards away from owning the NCAA record. Sumlin said he is aware that things will not get any easier for the defense. “They do a really great job of coaching and getting the ball to their playmakers,” Sumlin said. “Our defense has taken some hits this year and all I can say is that they’ve continued to play hard. We understand what we’re up against this week and we’ll see what happens.” Saturday’s Homecoming game at Robertson Stadium is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff. It will be televised on CBS College Sports. sports@thedailycougar.com
Fans have showed up in a big way this season at Robertson Stadium with five consecutive sellouts. About 3,000 tickets remain for Saturday’s Homecoming game. | Daily Cougar File Photo

THE DAILY COUGAR As a senior outside hitter, Marluci Toazzi is sure of her role on the court. “I think the way is having a solid pass, serving tough and keeping the ball in play,” she said. “If the sets are not good, just keep the ball in play. Make the right decisions about the ball you get.” Consistent is the right word to describe Toazzi. As she approaches her final games as a member of the team, she has time to reflect on her career, which started at the age of seven. Born in Brazil, Toazzi played club volleyball for the majority of her life. Everything changed after she was recruited by Gabi Carbone, a former UH assistant coach also from Brazil. “When I got done with high school, I was playing for my club team,” she said. “Gabi Carbone went to Brazil to recruit. She saw me and started talking to me and I decided to come here.” But Toazzi was not a Cougar yet. She attended Arizona Western College due to class requirements and played there for two seasons. Then she transferred to UH to compete in her last two years of eligibility. After playing volleyball for so many years, Toazzi is ready to feel what it’s like to be an average college student, minus the daily practices and weekend trips. “To be honest, I’m ready to get the experience to be a regular student,” she said. To complete her marketing major, Toazzi must stay enrolled until 2012. After she graduates, Toazzi is certain she will continue her career either here or in Brazil. She will continue to follow the

Outside hitter Marluci Toazzi has been dependable for the Cougars, chipping in with 114 kills and 13 blocks for the season. | Brianna Leigh Morrison/The Daily Cougar sport, but won’t compete seriously unless the opportunity appears. “I don’t know if I’m still going to play,” she said. “I had some plans before getting here to go to Europe and play, but if something shows up I will definitely think about it.” Toazzi is currently concentrating on helping her team reach second place in the Conference USA standings. With that ranking, they have a chance to attend nationals. Under the enthusiasm of firstyear head coach Molly Alvey, Toazzi said that she thinks the team will secure a berth. “She has found a way to keep the team together and coach us to do a better job with putting up a better effort. She makes us listen to her. She’s really excited when you get the job done,” Toazzi said. “She’s always encouraging you all the time.” As for her teammates, Toazzi thinks they are an enjoyable bunch to compete alongside with.
“You have fun when you are with them,” she said. “They are joking all the time and I’m laughing when I’m with them, that’s what makes me excited to play with them.” Toazzi said playing a sport competitively has helped her in other facets of life. “The biggest thing volleyball has done for me is to help me become a more organized person,” Toazzi said. “I’m better at time management, and getting things done in the time needed. “Volleyball makes you follow rules, too. You listen to that person and you respect those coaches.” But when it comes to smacking that ball over the net, Toazzi draws her power from somewhere else — her desire to win. “I’m definitely a person who plays to win,” she said. “I want to be a person who plays to win, not lose.”

Since 2007, fans of late-night television have been treated to the comedy genius that is Tim and Eric, starring (surprise, surprise) Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim. This weekend, Houstonians will be delighted even more with the opportunity to see the comedic duo live at the newly remodeled Fitzgerald’s. Unfamiliar with Tim and Eric? Think Robot Chicken, the animated social commentary created by Seth Green, but with real people. If you still can’t get a good idea of what it’s like, know that Zach Galifianakis, Weird Al Yankovic and John C. Reilly are regular guest stars. Yeah, that’s right; if you weren’t already watching it, suddenly you want to. Short sketches, songs and faux commercials for products that don’t exist (though very well could) are what the show is all about. It’s like the Grand Theft Auto of television — you don’t have to watch on a regular basis to be a fan. It’s easy to turn on one episode, even for a just a few minutes, laugh hysterically and then continue about your day. But Tim and Eric didn’t get famous solely on people liking their material. In fact, part of their fame is derived from a number of people who despise them and their brand of comedy. “The hatred for our show comprises about one-tenth of the population of people who actually go onto a message board or the Internet to communicate how they feel about something, so I don’t think that represents a lot of people,” Tim said in a recent interview with suicidegirls.com. “There are just not that many people that communicate what they think about something so publicly. I don’t know anybody who would go online and say how much they hate Murphy Brown if they didn’t like Murphy Brown. I think that in the very beginning, there was a reaction from people that hated the show, but they also hated all the other shows when they first came out. They hated

There are always people who just don’t get it and that’s fine with us. We don’t want everyone to get it, because who cares?” This type of attitude is part of what makes Tim and Eric such a dynamic duo. While the two receive a lot of flack from (or are completely overlooked by) the T&E continues on page 9

Aqua Teen Hunger Force when it came out. I think they use that forum to just be ridiculous and say horrible things.” Tim and Eric have thick skin, though. The naysayers don’t get to them. “Over time much of that went away. There are still people that really hated it, but we are more interested in the positive than the negative, especially with the new show.

Genres: Horror Cast: Tobin Bell, Cary Elwes, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell.

You’ve probably already done it, but making a good mix tape doesn’t take much practice. It’s not like learning to play an instrument. It’s as simple as moving songs into a playlist and hitting burn. Gone are the days of holding an actual tape recorder to a stereo with a finger on the red button. Also extinct is the idea that top 40 bands have a place on a burned CD. The ability to rip musicians off and give a cheap gift to a friend is way too easy to pass up. Making one that a friend likes can, however, become stressful. For some strange reason, people don’t like to listen to Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” 16 times in a row. Side note: if you do that,
Because of CDs, you don’t have to worry about bad 1980s technology getting in the way of your favorite mix tape. | Wikimedia Commons after five plays you can sing along with Cudi at an epic level of accuracy.
So now, you’re making one for a friend. First, establish two base lines for the mix — favorite genre and most played band. The genre should be the one that they mainly enjoy. A lot of people say that they like everything, but that is a lie. Someone might flirt with multiple types of music, but there is one that they are currently involved with. For this example, we are going with rock. When establishing a genre, you have made a piece of the music pie just a little smaller. This base line is really good at elimination. For the example of rock, you can eliminate all things Justin Bieber. You still have no songs written down, that’s when the most played band comes in. This should not be what people tell you their for favorite group is. People are MIXTAPE continues on page 9
MIXTAPE continued from page 8
liars, especially when they feel that their taste might be judged. For that reason, look at what song has the most plays on their media player. If you can get that, you can create a sort of “paint by numbers” framework. This is where you start to think about the tempo of the songs that you are putting in. A template and a thought as to what the friend likes makes filling out the list easy. Consider the songs that you know to be similar, and

write them down. After that, go to a website like lastfm.com or pandora.com to fill in the rest. iTunes Genius works well, but it really only uses your library to generate the list. Internet radio sites will show you a larger spectrum of what’s similar to their taste Once you have the songs, try to keep the clashing of fast and slow tempo to a minimum. For that reason, R.E.M’s “End of the World” and Pink’s “Glitter In The Air” should never touch. If you have a big change in tempo in your mix, think about adding a novelty song. This can be a song that is important
to you and that person. If, for some strange reason, the person has a deep attachment to “Piano Man” by Billy Joel, put it in as a transition. Another good move would be to add a funny song by Steve Lynch or Tenacious D. When you’re done playing with the arrangement of the mix, give it a complete listen. Then, ask yourself the question, “Is this something that they would enjoy?” If yes, hit burn and you’re done. If the answer is no, I hear that socks are another cheap gift idea. arts@thedailycougar.com
T&E continued from page 8
media, their niche market of college students eating Cheetos in bean-bag chairs at 3:00 in the morning remain true to the cause, sometimes going as far as to make skits cheaply to further infuriate their critics. “Half of our sketches purposely look (crappy),” Eric said. “We do them on a bad green screen, and then we run them through VCRs so it looks like it was on a public access channel 10 years ago. We want a lot of this stuff to have a feeling that it didn’t happen too long ago.” Maybe it’s not your cup of tea, or perhaps you like to go to bed at regular hours and have never heard of two comedians, but their live performance this weekend is sure to be a blast, and since tickets are still available (and cheap), you should probably buy a pair.
