University Information Technology is working to fix the Internet connection after students, faculty and staff reported problems with accessing some websites in different buildings around campus yesterday. According to the UIT website, the Internet problems started at 8:25 a.m. Monday. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers worked on the issue and found operational problems with some of the UHhosted Akamai Technologies, Inc. content servers, the UIT website said. Akamai is a content delivery network whose customers include Metacafe, Viacom Media Networks, USA Today and Apple, Inc. According to the website, SME tried to fix the Akamai servers, but there were no problems with the University’s websites. The reason students could access UH websites with no issues was that the problem was with UH’s firewall, said David Johnson, executive director of UH technical service support. “Our primary firewall was struggling,” Johnson said. “It was acting like it was corrupted in some way.” Johnson said the firewall didn’t simply block all access to non-UH websites, but problems varied from case to case. “For example, if you were getting

Johnson said. “This is one of those rare times that something breaks in just the right way.” UH is working with Cisco Systems, Inc. to fix the firewall, Johnson said. “The beauty of software problems is that when they do go down, you just reload it,” Johnson said. UH has temporarily switched to the backup firewall, and Johnson
said students shouldn’t experience any more problems related to the issue. “Unless something corrupts the backup firewall, it should be business as usual,” Johnson said. “I don’t anticipate any more problems; I expect things to be rock-solid.”

SGA to mix minds with constituents Kathleen Murrill Contributing writer
MindMixer, a virtual town hall service, will soon be implemented in order to enhance the Student Government Association’s current in-person method and encourage a more active participation by UH students. Through MindMixer, students will be able to submit their ideas on a variety of topics or issues in the UH community, give feedback on others’ ideas or second ones they support, according to the website. Then, some ideas will be taken to
an open vote to identify which are most important to students. SGA Vice President Turner Harris cited his reasons for supporting this senate initiative. “We are looking into this technology to augment our senators’ current in-person town halls, which consistently fail to meet our expectations as far as collecting actionable or valuable input,” Harris said. Recently, Kansas State University used MindMixer to get student feedback on the University’s new campus master plan. Topics on the forum ranged from campus
character and what distinguishes the University, to students’ ideas on what areas needed improvement. Kansas State yielded hundreds of ideas and participants, according to the website. SGA intends to utilize MindMixer in the same way and gear the service toward a continued advancement of UH. The University will also have the opportunity to rename MindMixer once it is available on campus. Some ideas include ImproveUH and BeHeardUH, Harris said. The cost for MindMixer was included in SGA’s FY13 budget and
approved during the organization’s second meeting this semester with the stipulation that the vice president must give monthly reports on MindMixer, Harris said. Harris is optimistic that the service will help connect SGA and UH students, increasing the amount of student feedback. “We want to use this technology to facilitate deeper engagement with UH constituents and allow them to become contributors to the UH community,” Harris said. news@thedailycougar.com.

CRIME REPORT
The Center for Mexican American Studies 40TH ANNIVERSARY Fall Speaker Series
David Montejano, Ph.D.
Professor of Ethnic Studies/ Chicano Studies, University of California, Berkerly
“Exploring the Political Edge with the Brown Berets: An Ethography of the Chicano Movement” In this presentation, historian-sociologist David Montejano draws upon his latest book, Sancho’s Journal (University of Texas Press, 2012) and describes the daily life among the “batos locos” (crazy guys) who joined the Brown Berets and became associated with the greater Chicano movement. Why did these young barrio men, many of them ex-gang members, join the group? How did they acquire political consciousness? And what did this mean for their life style and behavior? In exploring the answers to these questions, Montejano traveled throughout Texas visiting and “hanging out” with several Brown Beret chapters in 1974-75. He developed “a snapshot” of the politicization experience and acquired a good sense of the political diversity within the Beret statewide network. Follow up contact thirty years confirmed cavrioud features of the snapshot.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
SGA gives details on mobile app development Kathleen Murrill Contributing writer
An award-winning graphic d e s i g n e r w i l l c re a t e a n e w UH smartphone application, which will be released later this semester. The Student Government Association announced Pentagram, a multi-disciplinary design firm, had been selected out of seven companies to produce the mobile app earlier this month.
SGA will now work with one of the company’s partners, DJ Stout, to develop it. Stout has been with Pentagram since January 2000. Before joining the leading design company, he spent more than a decade as art director for Texas Monthly Magazine. Some of his graphic design work is on permanent display at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. Stout specializes in branding companies and website design.
Four years ago, he led the rebranding of Popeye’s Chicken, switching its name from Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits to Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen. SGA Vice President Turner Harris is enthusiastic about working with Stout and his team at Pentagram. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to work with them on this project,� Harris said. “We are slowly but surely making progress.�
The app will feature alerts for University safety and events, maps to various locations on campus, weather updates, shuttle bus routes, with information on next bus arrival, and UH photos and Twitter updates from President Renu Khator. SGA will unveil the app in parts and Harris said it will have additional features in the future. This will include an academic service that will allow students to check their grades.
Approach the Bench M aking the decision to attend law school is huge. Deciding which one to go to can be intimidating. Our program offers:
Harris said the SGA will work to ensure the University app — which has taken nearly a year to develop since the initial approval by the Student Fees Advisory Committee — will be worth the wait and money. “Due to the amount of money involved and the magnitude of this project, we will be proceeding as prudently as possible,� Harris said. news@thedailycougar.com.

Halloween haunted by risqué ensembles Provocative women’s costumes have followed a troubling trend that seems to be getting worse Mónica Rojas Staff columnist
H
alloween, once a Celtic holiday, has been redefined since its inception. What started as a day for divinations brought by dressing in animal carcasses has become a day to drink and party while adorning just enough cloth to be legally considered clothing. As the holiday progressed, so have the costumes, specifically within the last few decades. However, rather than becoming more intricate, the costumes have simply become less. Less interesting, less fun and made with less fabric. This year’s version of the Big Bird costume, which “Sesame Street” may file a lawsuit against, illustrates this perfectly. Regardless of what “Mean Girls” may dictate, Halloween is not a free pass for women to look like trollops. Daily standards still apply, which means people will still be judged according to their clothing — or lack thereof. Today, women’s popular Halloween costumes boil down to one thing: character-themed lingerie with accessories. Oct. 31 and the days leading up to it are a skin exposé that might even trump Spring Break. Women model colorful bras and booty shorts held up with suspenders and call themselves Ernie from “Sesame Street,” and they saunter around with costumes that lack so much fabric it defeats the purpose of dressing as something or someone. Often, were it not for the accessories, recognizing what someone is supposed to be is nearly impossible. That is not to say women should dress like nuns or wear a costume that covers them like a second skin, but it does mean moderation and balance should be used. If women insist on showcasing their body, they should pick one part to highlight. If you have nice legs, then wear a skirt, but not a miniskirt. If you have a flat stomach, show it off. Or maybe cleavage is more your thing. Go for it, as long as it is not too much. But pick one — not all of the above
and more. Five out of six of the most popular Halloween costume websites on Google’s first page have a sexy category, with the sixth being named sassy instead, providing essentially the same get-ups. This being said, stores offer what sells — the customer dictates the product, but being sexy should not mean being nude. Not only are women paying more for these costumes even though they are
getting less, these get-ups also lessen the fun in Halloween. As kids, the most exciting part — aside from the candy — was just how close one’s costume was to the real thing. A woman cannot pretend to look like Big Bird without a beak or the feathery legs because chicken feet slippers just do not have the same effect. Ladies, although it is doubtful that any of the above will change your mind, if the
reason you are dressing in that Kitana costume that consists of a bra top and booty shorts with a piece of fabric hanging from the front — or any other equally scanty costume — is to be sexy and impress some guy, at least keep this in mind: no one wants to work for something they are getting for free.

SOCCER
Cougars post their ‘best win of the season’ Mónica Rojas Staff writer
Freshman defender Gabrielle Rodriguez cheers on her fellow Cougars as a tense moment in the game presents itself. | File photo/The Daily Cougar
Three was the magical number this weekend both for and against the Cougars. In the game on Friday against Colorado College, the Cougars came out with a 3-1 loss. Sunday told a different tale with a 3-0 win against UTEP. “We came out a little more focused on ourselves and not so much about what the game means. Friday night, we got a little too amped up and came out hesitant and shaky,” said assistant coach Suzie Grech. “Sunday, we played within ourselves, calm and with good touches. Consistency and coming out compact really helps us.” Junior midfielder Jasmine Martinez opened up the scoreboard with eight minutes left in the first half after she curved the ball around the keeper. In a similar situation two minutes later, senior forward Katelyn Rhodes put another past
the Miners. “It was probably our best game out of the season as a team and as a whole. Everybody stepped up, did the extra little thing that coach asked us to do and we all worked for each other,” Martinez said. “If I messed up, I knew someone had my back and they would fix the problem and if they messed up, I had them. On Friday, it wasn’t like that.” Five minutes into the second half, Martinez held possession of the ball. She evaded a defender until it was her and the keeper. With a kick to the right, Martinez’s ball connected with the net, putting the Cougars up 3-1. “This was by far the best win of the season,” head coach Chris Pfau said. “We had some players that could barely walk or have been sick all week. Friday was a bad loss, but we came out, showed our character and got the win.” The ball was kept in Miners possession for the majority of the last 20
minutes of futile attempts to break through the Cougar defense. “The biggest thing is how we come out,” Grech said. “We dictated what happened, as opposed to playing at 100 miles an hour.” Junior goalkeeper Cami Koski posted her fourth shutout of the season helping the Cougars bring their record to 7-7-3 (3-3-3 Conference USA). It was the 15th shutout of her career. “She’s come out big for us this season and came out big for us again today,” Grech said. “It’s well deserved.” Friday will be the final home game for the Cougars as they play against Rice, the standings leader. “I’m willing to take on anybody,” Grech said. “I think it’s a great in-city rivalry, conference rivalry, everything about that game is a build-up. I’m sure nerves are going to play a part on both sides.” sports@thedailycougar.com
VOLLEYBALL
UH falls twice during weekend
Chandice Tryon prepares for a serve. | File photo/The Daily Cougar Harrison Lee Staff writer
After being named Conference USA setter of the week, senior Abby Simmons paced the offense against UTEP and Tulane again as she
racked up 24 and 38 assists during the weekend. Two losses on the weekend road trip dropped the Cougars to 5-6 in the C-USA standings, with UTEP and Tulane proving too much for UH as they fell 3-0 and 3-1.
Senior outside hitter Katie Norris added eight kills while senior middle blocker Chandace Tryon accounted for six. For the match, the Cougars totaled 31 kills while Tryon added two solo blocks. Simmons leads the team with more than 630 assists and averages 8.9 a set. She ranks second best on the team with service aces and is the fourth best with more than 153 digs. Last weekend, Simmons put up quality numbers including 92 assists, 53 coming in the victory against Marshall, a tally that was only three away from matching her career-best at UH. “She not only was successful on offense, but helped out our defense with a strong outing against Marshall,” said head coach Katie Platt. The Cougars put up a total of 42 kills, with Tryon and senior right side Stephanie Nwachukwu combined for 16. The Green Wave offense was able to overpower the Cougar defense despite freshman defensive specialist Olivia O’Dell putting up a career-best 18 digs. Simmons paced the offense again with 38 assists. The Cougars take on cross-town rival Rice at 5 p.m. on Friday in the Athletics/Alumni Center. sports@thedailycougar.com
