Fraternity to host clothing, voter registration drive The Eta Mu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will host the ‘Eta Mu Block Party’ from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the University Center circle. The event has two main focuses: The voter registration event, “A Voteless People is a Hopeless People,” and “Shirt off my Back” clothing drive. The fraternity will also provide free food, music and games for students. “I’m excited to have the block party and renew some of the genuine fun on campus while at the same time providing awareness politically and socially to the UH student body. We do everything for the people,” said Elliot Wright, vice president of the Eta Mu chapter. “Shirt off my Back” is a movement the fraternity has been involved with for three years. Clothing collected during the block party will be donated to the OOEIM Orphanage in Accra, Ghana. Their campaign has spread awareness about disparity in Ghana and has aided kids since 2010. — Kimberly O’Neal

The College Store is no more Textbook resale shop experiences declining sales because of online alternatives, rental services Mohammed Haider

THE DAILY COUGAR After more than 20 years of offering students less expensive books, The College Store is closing its doors. Nebraska Book Company, a textbook industry titan who owns 290 stores nationwide, including The College Store, filed for a Second Amended Plan for Reorganization and Disclosure Statement with the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on March 7.

Although NBC received an extension when it came to the performance evaluations of about 40 off-campus bookstores, The College Store still wasn’t up to par. The College Store Manager Jessica Brost said business started to decline with the popularity and convenience of online sales. “We are among several stores on the list that will be closing,” Brost said. “To be honest, it’s very difficult to say. They were looking at our fall and spring sales. Our sales have been declining over time.” According to NBC, online purchasing isn’t the only factor contributing to the decline of sales in the off-campus bookstores. Recently, many colleges and universities have offered the option of renting textbooks, and then selling them back for lesser value.

“This store definitely coincides with what the whole industry is going through when it comes to textbooks,” Brost said. “It is very difficult to compete with Amazon or E-book. “We pay more for books than they do. It’s a very tough thing to go through.” The increase of online sales, textbook rentals and the popularity of tablets have left many employees of the industry jobless. “Most of us here are going to be on the job market very soon. I’m just hoping for the best for all of us,” Brost said. “It’s unfortunate because the minute we put everything on sale, a long line of people showed up.” news@thedailycougar.com

Speaker highlights president’s failures Former US ambassador to UN talks foreign policy Mohammed Haider

THE DAILY COUGAR Former United States ambassador to the United Nations and diplomat, John Bolton, spoke to law students about the Obama administration’s failures at an international level. The US has turned their attention away from international affairs and is focusing only on its internal situation, Bolton said. “It is simply not possible to have sustained American prosperity at home unless we have a strong international presence,” Bolton said. “Whatever stability there is in the world is essentially provided by the United States.” Bolton said President Barack Obama doesn’t see the world as a “huge” threat. The US has the lowest number of navy ships overseas since 1916 and the number is projected to decrease. Cuts will also be applied to the Air Force and Army while international threats are continuing to rise, Bolton said. “The relations of the United States and Russia are exceptionally low,” Bolton said. “In August 2008, Russia invaded Georgia. Candidate Obama said that both sides should exercise their strength

— Georgia on one hand and Russia on the other. “This didn’t sound comforting to the people of Georgia. Their army can probably fit in this room. This also signals to the Russians that presidential candidate Obama didn’t understand what worked.” Bolton also said the Obama administration is not doing anything to stop North Korea. “We know that they’re making enormous progress with their missiles. Communication satellites have been used to celebrate the hundredth anniversary,” Bolton said. “Obviously, if you can put missiles in earth’s orbit, you can put it on any target on earth. They are certainly well on their way. It is the most heavily sanctioned country. What have we done about it? Nothing.” The US relationship with Iran was also criticized. “When you let missiles get in the hand of crazy, religious fanatics who don’t share the same values as we do here, it is something that needs to be concerned about,” Bolton said.

SGA candidates should face disciplinary action

his is the second year in a row that voter fraud has taken place during an SGA election, which indicates that this is a trend. If this trend is to end, and if SGA is to attempt to rebuild its reputation, an example needs to be made of these students.

The four students who were disqualified for voter fraud should face disciplinary action from the University. According to the 2011-2012 Student Handbook, these four students could be in violation of the following sections of the Disciplinary Code: 3.6 Theft; 3.2 Disruption/Obstruction; 3.7 Possession of Stolen Property; 3.9 Unauthorized Use of Property or Service; 3.18 Misuse or Abuse of Computers; 3.19 Falsification of Records; 3.20 Misuse of Identification and 3.23 Aiding and Abetting. If found guilty of these violations, the University has the power to suspend, expel or place these students on disciplinary probation. Of course, the University could settle on a less harsh punishment for these students in the form of a verbal or written reprimand, or another form of light punishment listed in the Student Handbook. However, giving these students a light sentence would be doing a disservice to the students who were the victims of this fraud — all UH students. The four SGA members who were disqualified have soiled the reputation of The University of Houston. We need to show the rest of the nation that the conduct of these four students does not reflect the conduct of the rest of our student body. The best way to do this would be giving the four students responsible for fraud the harshest punishment possible. We need to show the rest of the nation that the behavior of these four will not be tolerated at our University. After they have been punished, SGA should try to rebuild its reputation — if that is even possible at this point.

Toxic sugar and pink slime It’s near impossible to be diligent in what you eat, but try anyway

tudents should start reading ingredient labels before stuffing their faces with whatever looks good in the C-store. The food industry favors price over quality, and companies are not afraid to use cheap ingredients and dubious preparation methods. They know consumers would love a one-dollar hamburger. They know most students have no concept of partiallyDavid hydrogenated oil and Haydon high-fructose corn syrup. The industry knows as long as the food is half its weight in sugar, it tastes delicious. This status quo is finally being shattered thanks to viral internet pictures and relentless health professionals. For example, the Food and Drug Administration recently decided to “offer more choices” of ground beef product to the National School Lunch Program. This was only after the majority of the public finally understood the definition of “subsidized lunch.” For those who don’t know, beef product (AKA pink slime) is mechanically separated leftover meat tissue and sinew mashed together into a glob of bacteria infested feces. They then mix enough ammonium hydroxide and nitrates into the mix to slay an elephant. With E. Coli gone, they treat it with some flavorings and food colorings until it becomes “Mmm Mmm good.” Pink slime is not only in the school lunches, it’s in every low-price meat item from dollar store jerky to Burger King’s hamburgers. How does the public tell the difference between mouth watering Angus beef and soylent brown? Aside from flavor and price, they cannot. Why do consumers care all of a sudden? Photos of pink slime have been all over the internet for years. Prior to this outburst from concerned parents there were scores of “food crazies” and “health freaks” preaching about the unhealthy nature of the American diet. No one listened. Was it because the FDA

THE CHOICE IS YOURS allegedly checks our breakfast, lunch and dinner? Was it because consumers don’t have the time to care? Letter-graded meat product aside, there is a larger issue for consumers, especially among children — sugar. Gone are the days when you could glance at a food label and know that sugar in the first three ingredients meant a bad choice. A plethora of weasel words mask sugar and they’re peppered throughout the label. The problem is that these sugars add up. Brown sugar, molasses and honey are the more known and arguably more benign forms. Not many consumers can see red flags over maize, rice and wheat.

by Kathleen Kennedy

But these simple carbs easily turn into sugar, and yet the industry sees the need to add more. We’re not talking about cakes and cookies, but instead, food that’s not even meant to taste sweet. Imagine the classic PB&J. The sandwich is two slices of bread riddled with table sugar, with cheap HFCS jelly (the only thing meant to be sugary) and honey-covered peanut butter. Add a soda containing 40mg of HFCS and the average school kid is well on his way to being misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, not to mention real health problems like HAYDON continues on page 5

Voter ID bill disenfranchises

fter lengthy consideration, the US Department of Justice has wisely denied pre-clearance under the Voting Rights Act to Texas’ planned voter ID legislation. The 1964 act requires that counties or states with a history of discriminating against Emily minorities in their Brooks voting laws — that includes Texas — obtain pre-clearance from the DOJ before their voting laws can be changed. The burden lies upon the states to prove that the proposed law does not have a discriminatory effect on voters. As this column has noted in the past, Texas Senate Bill 14 fails to meet that requirement. The DOJ decided that the law would disenfranchise Hispanic voters. The proposed bill would oblige voters to show a photo

ID in order to cast a ballot. Previously acceptable documents such as a student ID, birth certificate or voter registration card would no longer be adequate. According to the data that Texas itself provided to the DOJ; Hispanic registered voters are at least 49 percent less likely — and potentially as much as 120 percent less likely — to possess a qualifying ID. Students and the elderly are also statistically less likely to possess the required identification. Proponents of the legislation say that voter fraud is a serious enough issue that it justifies the discriminatory effects of voter ID laws. However, the only type of voter fraud that could be potentially prevented with stricter ID requirements — impersonating another voter — is so rare that one is more likely to be struck by lightning, according to studies by the NYU School of Law. From 2002 to 2005, there were only 17 convictions for voter

impersonation nationwide. If the Texas legislature is so concerned with election fraud, their efforts would be far better spent ensuring the integrity of voting machines or counting methods, which are much more susceptible to acts of fraud, and wholly unrelated to the issue of photo IDs. The Voting Rights Act does not simply require that proposed laws have no discriminatory intent, but requires that they have no discriminatory effect as a byproduct of their implementation. The data submitted to the DOJ clearly shows that Senate Bill 14 would have a discriminatory effect on a large number Hispanic registered voters. Bills like this are the reason preclearance is required by the Voting Rights Act in the first place, and makes it clear why the Act was recently renewed. Senate Bill 14 is attempting to stop an extraordinarily rare method of BROOKS continues on page 5

voter fraud by enacting legislation that could disenfranchise more than 600,000 registered voters — and that’s according to the state’s own data. In the years following the passage of the 15th Amendment, many southern states seeking to disenfranchise African-American voters passed laws requiring voters to pay a large poll tax in order to vote. Other states required literacy tests, or forbade an individual from voting if their grandfather had not been able to vote. Even the use of violence and physical intimidation to dissuade potential voters was not uncommon. In 1964, the Voting Rights Act outlawed these practices and required that any changes to voting laws in the states that had used such practices be subject to pre-clearance. Voting is a constitutional right, and lies at the very core of our democracy. With our country’s woefully low voter turnout, we should be trying to get more voters to the polls, not pushing them away with red tape. Requiring photo ID will keep many from the polls, and will do essentially nothing to prevent voter fraud. The Department of Justice was right to reject this voter ID bill. Disenfranchising more than 600,000 Texas voters to prevent unlikely and statistically insignificant fraud is just not worth it.

diabetes and childhood obesity. This is why the February issue of the online journal Nature published an article titled “Public health: The toxic truth about sugar.” The authors pointed out that sugar is everywhere, people are consuming way more than they should and, like Rhett Butler, no one seems to give a damn. They also suggested the government needs to step in to regulate sugar since the industry wouldn’t and the consumers couldn’t. Some people go for low-cal meals and diet sodas that contain a sugar substitute. Think aspartame, stevia, cyclamate, saccharin and sucralose. But these have their own health issues. Some concerns are unfounded, and some are swept under the rug of willful ignorance. You’d have to be Sherlock Holmes these days just to make sure you’re not nibbling processed cheese from a bovine growth hormone-injected cow, sipping an insulin shock of sweet-tasting tooth-rotting soda or chomping down a genetically-modified apple from who-knows-where sprayed with who-knows-what. Since most people have school, jobs and families to raise, it’s amazing they manage to eat at all. Still, it’s good to know that the food industry is not immune from whistle-blowers, even if the public response is slow. Like it or not, it’s time to wake up and smell the pesticide-filled coffee.

Cougars hit the road BASEBALL

UH looks to reverse its luck away from their home field in a three-game weekend series against Southern Miss Gilbert Requena

THE DAILY COUGAR With two-thirds of their non-conference schedule out of the way, the Cougars will now set their sights on Conference-USA play. The University of Houston team will travel to Hattiesburg, Miss. for their first conference series of the season to take on the Southern Miss Golden Eagles for a three-game set. The series is scheduled to get underway at 6 p.m. Friday at Pete Taylor Park. “Opening conference play on the road against Southern Miss, obviously it’s a big series for us,” head coach Todd Whitting said. “The way the NCAA is set up and the way they select for the NCAA tournament at the end of the year, every weekend is big. “This weekend we are going to try to solidify ourselves at the top of the rankings, but also continue to build our resume so we can be in the field of 64 at the end of the season.” With this upcoming series, the Cougars wrap up a stretch where 13-of-14 games have been played away from Cougar Field. And so far this season, they haven’t faired so well away from their home field. They are 2-5 on the road, 5-4 at Cougar Field and 2-1 at neutral sites (Minute Maid Park). “We’ve played at two pretty tough places to play in going to Ole Miss and Oklahoma State,” sophomore center fielder Landon Appling said. “We’ve got a lot of young players that haven’t really experienced the atmosphere of being on the road. Coach Whitting tells us all the time that the game is the same; the only thing that changes is the atmosphere around the ballpark. “I think we’re getting a lot of confidence knowing that we can play with some really good teams.” According to several websites, the Cougars’ strength of schedule has been among the top 20 in the nation. This may account for some of their losses. “This is an extremely tough schedule, probably more than this club was ready for,” Whitting said. “But we’ve had some good weekends, getting a win against Arkansas, who’s only got two losses this year, and going on the road to Oklahoma State, beating a very good team in their home ballpark. They’re showing signs of maturing and getting better.” BASEBALL continues on page 7

In their 14 matches this season, the Cougars are 2-4 in matches decided by one point. UH is 7-7 on the season after going 2-3 over spring break. Four of their five matches were decided by one point, the Cougars lost three of those four. | Catherine Lara/The Daily Cougar

This weekend’s series at Southern Miss will end the Cougars’ longest road stretch of the season. Thirteen of the Cougars’ last 14 games have been played away from Cougar Field. UH is 2-5 on the road this season, but 5-4 at home and 2-1 at neutral sites. | Brianna Leigh Morrison/The Daily Cougar

Tough luck kind of season The Cougars hope to avoid any more close calls Albert Torres

THE DAILY COUGAR Over spring break, the Cougars continued their quest for a national ranking with a string of five matches against Iowa State, Marquette, Idaho, Kansas and Bowling Green, going 2-3. All three of the losses ended with in a heartbreaking 4-3 fashion.

“We were in all those matches against some really good programs,” head coach John Severance said. “We weren’t at full strength and the breaks didn’t go our way”. The Cougars hadn’t played in almost two weeks when their first match of the break against Iowa State came. “Anytime you have that much time off, you’re going to have some rust,” Severance said. “You have to keep that competitive edge and our first match back we ended up in a dogfight.” UH then proceeded in dropping

three straight close 4-3 decisions before coming up on top against Bowling Green, 5-2. “I’ve never seen so many close matches in any season,” Severance said. “It really has been a day-to-day season.” Of 14 matches this season, six have ended 4-3 with the Cougars going 1-5 in those contests. “Our new motto is no more 3-4 matches,” Severance said. “During the season you’re going TENNIS continues on page 7

Your sign is clear of visitors at the moment and it might be a good time to really reflect on what you need to be at your best when you reemerge from recharging. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If you feel more like lashing out at your surroundings than purring peacefully, then get out and get some serious exercise. Work up some endorphins that will combat the spring break excess that has you lagging. Don’t forget to smile — it always helps you get what you want. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is nothing stopping you from getting the rest of the semester’s work done as quickly as possible. I recommend rounding out your schedule for the next two months and then planning on your well-earned summer vacation. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 24): Do not let the difficult tasks you have been slogging through keep your typically cheerful disposition at bay. Climb higher, push forward and go stronger. Get some ridiculous activity going that forces laughter and lightheartedness in lieu of stress. Scorpio (Oct. 25-Nov. 21): I recommend that you take a moment to reflect on your accomplishments. Boast about your achievements to close family and friends, but be sure to thank those who helped you reach your goals. Do not sit back and rest on your success, but take the time to contemplate what still needs doing. Make lists, check twice, then move forward. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have an amazing capacity for foresight, hindsight and whole-sight right now. Take the time to hone your skill at deciphering what is necessary, what is nice and what needs re-vamping both in your own life and – delicately – those closest to you.

“DJ Screw and the Rise of Houston Hip Hop,” the exhibit now on display on the first floor of the M.D. Anderson Memorial Library, documents the late DJ Screw’s work as well as the beginning careers of other local rappers. Screw, aka Robert Earl Davis Jr., passed away nearly 12 years ago. Many successful rappers who call Houston their home owe their start to Screw’s infamous mixed tapes and do their best to honor the disc jockey’s legacy. Along with photos of Screw’s musical brigade the Screwed Up Click, the exhibit also features dated vinyl copies of records once owned by the late DJ which were donated by his father. Among the interesting pieces on display are track lists written by Screw for some of his customers who wanted his signature slowed-down sound known as “Chopped and Screwed” as well as promotional flyers for concerts and parties. One interesting piece is a notebook once owned by original SUC member and late rapper H.A.W.K. Another is a vinyl copy of the Scarface record “Mr. Scarface Is Back.” Coordinator of Digital Projects and Instruction at the Special Collections of the UH Libraries Julie Grob is responsible for the collection. Grob said she began collecting for the exhibit two years ago and has had positive reactions from those she reached out to, including many local rappers and their family members. She also said that the total collection of 1,500 recordings and the memorabilia would eventually be open for visitors. The exhibit also takes into account some of the memorabilia from the RapA-Lot Records and Swishahouse labels that have featured rappers Mike Jones,

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do not worry about playing zombie-killing games on your tablet or phone right now, but do not let the seeming easiness of the week trick you into falling behind or forgetting an appointment. Balance, my friend. Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You have the moon, Neptune and Chiron in your sign right now. This is a really good time to actively grow up and out of old habits. Let go of previous hurts that dictate your behavior in romance and friendship. arts@thedailycougar.com

Paul Wall and Slim Thug. DJ Michael “5,000” Watts built his sound around Screw, much like how the rappers associated with Swishahouse built their foundation around the original members of the Screwed Up Click. The music of DJ Screw and the Screwed Up Click have a special place in Houston considering the locality of

the musical movement. Screwed Up Records & Tapes, the official shop of SUC, used to be located on Cullen. The hip-hop exhibit will remain open to faculty, staff and students to view until Sep. 12. arts@thedailycougar.com

The Austin conference and music festival South by Southwest cranked out an amazing number of unforgettable hip-hop performances last week. Many artists in the hip-hop community delivered an abundance of great new material at SxSW. One of hip-hop’s biggest supergroups Slaughterhouse, performed three separate shows over the course of the festival. They performed their new single “Hammer Dance” on Wednesday, which is now available to download on iTunes. Kanye West and Big Sean both made guest appearances on stage during Slaughterhouse’s set, which drove the crowd wild.

Slaughterhouse also performed with rapper Travis Porter later that night at the Belmont. Porter promoted his new single “Ayy Ladies,” which he released a music video for the week before. With a few other songs, the rapper delivered a standout performance. The 21-year-old Caucasian MC Machine Gun Kelly from Shaker Heights, Ohio surprised everyone with his high-energy performances. He performed his most popular song “Wild Boy,” which features rapper Waka Flocka Flame and the crowd went wild. MGK jumped out into the crowd, started mosh pits and climbed up onto the ledge of the balcony in the Belmont where he continued his performance before jumping back down onto the stage.

R&B artist Miguel, who has experienced recent commercial success with his singles “All I Want Is You” and “Sure Thing,” also performed amazingly with a live band later that night. He, too, showcased new music, which was definitely a hit with the ladies. His performance was charming and a nice change of pace from the rest of the fast-paced hip-hop shows. On Friday, Shady 2.0 was perhaps the biggest hip-hop appearance of SxSW. It featured 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse and a guest appearance by none other than Eminem himself. Eminem performed a few songs with 50 Cent, including the duo’s song “Patiently Waiting” from the latter’s debut album. SXSW continues on page 9

Another up-and-coming hiphop artist, Chiddy Bang, also had his go for the promotion of his new album “Breakfast” the same night. His performance was dedicated to the women in the audience. The crowd loved how personable his show was. Hip-hop had a great run at SxSW delivering high-energy, pulse-pounding and unforgettable performances throughout the week. arts@thedailycougar.com
