Frontier Fiesta location closes parking spots Laura Gillespie Assistant news editor

All portions of Lots 20A and 20C have closed off for Frontier Fiesta and will remain closed until the event ends Sunday evening.

The largest school event of the year at UH requires a big space, and since Robertson Stadium was torn down in 2012, Frontier Fiesta has moved to the parking lot areas across from the LeRoy and Lucile Melcher Hall.

“Right now the parking lot is a good temporary spot for Frontier Fiesta as the stadium construction happens,” said Brandon Blue, operations director with Frontier Fiesta.

“It’s traditionally at the stadium.

While that is being constructed, we are at this parking lot, because it is a really good central spot right next to Spur 5; the entrance to the University is right there. It allows students to see (Fiesta) as they drive in.”

The lot closures were staggered as construction on Frontier Fiesta began. Phase 1 began on March 7, phase 2 began on March 14 and

the largest swath of parking closed today. Lot 21B will be free, but both lots will be completely open Sunday when Frontier Fiesta packs up.

With those lots closed, the question of where students may park rises.

UH Parking and Transportation urges students to park at the Energy Research Park. More parking spots have opened for Frontier Fiesta, and campus shuttles will routinely take students from the ERP to campus. The Welcome Center Parking Garage will be open during Frontier Fiesta for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Parking and Transportation further recommends arriving on campus earlier in order to find parking space on campus, following @ UHTraffic on Twitter in order to get traffic and parking updates and carpooling with another student or employee.

This is the second consecutive year that Frontier Fiesta has been housed at this lot, and complaints rose in 2013 from students because

of the loss of already-scarce parking on campus. This year, students have similar complaints.

“Looking at it from others’ point of view, it’s just going to bring more traffic in — it’s not going to solve anything. The traffic issue is going to be worse than it is,” said biology junior Alolika Sarkar.

“It’s Frontier Fiesta — it’s already an event, and if you do it on a parking lot, that just jumbles it up.”

The increase in traffic from nonUH visitors has provided issues for some students as well.

“I drive here, and it takes me an hour to find parking sometimes; it’s insane how much traffic there is if you’re just circling around and around, and people are lining up on the side,” said management information systems senior Iris Martinez.

Despite students’ concerns, Frontier Fiesta will continue to make use of campus lots as the festival kicks off Thursday.

“Different factors play a role in arriving to your destination on time. You may

choose to ride the shuttle earlier to be sure to get your destination in plenty of time,” said Becky Mobley, academic adviser of UH Off Campus Operations, in an email. news@thedailycougar.com

THE DAILY COUGAR

In light of her recent accomplishments, the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators will award Chancellor and President Renu Khator the NASPA President’s Award.

Khator will accept the honor during NASPA’s 96th annual conference in Baltimore which ends today.

According to the NASPA website, the President’s Award “is a special recognition given to a college or university President/Chancellor who has advanced the quality of student life.”

“She has monthly meetings with the student government leaders and speaks to more than 9,000 new students in their classes each semester,” NASPA said. “She has more than 11,000 Twitter followers, mostly students. They call her approachable and passionate — and a rock star. We agree.”

Amanda Hilow

The director of the UH Arabic Studies Program has written a book that links the Qu’ran and the Bible as literary works through thematic categories.

Emran El-Badawi, assistant professor of Arabic language and literature, wrote “The Qu’ran and the Aramaic Gospel Traditions,” focusing on the Aramaic texts most closely related to the Arabic of the Qu’ran. The book seeks to overcome the barriers of language incompetency and modern political climate that hinder the study of theological texts from a literary perspective.

“I was deeply dissatisfied as a scholar with academia’s inability to allow the Qu’ran and the Bible (to) interact rather than simply comparing and contrasting them,” El-Badawi said.

On the subject of condemnation and praise, El-Badawi outlines the Qu’ran’s negative outlook on clergy and glorification of minority citizens such as orphans and widows.

“There is a famous line in the Hebrew Bible that translates into ‘obedience, not sacrifice,’” said English professor Jamie Ferguson, who specializes in Biblical study. “It emphasizes internal conformity rather than external performance in religious practice, similar to the teachings of the Qu’ran and the later Christian scriptures.”

Ferguson, who teaches a course on the Bible as literature, agreed that it is an enlightening experience to cope with processing scripture in a secular context, especially works of one’s own

personal faith.

El-Badawi said he believes that a secular and literary approach to religious texts challenges radical perceptions each faith has of the other and to connect all ideologies as a part of biblical tradition.

“What most people fail to realize,” El-Badawi said, “is that the Qu’ran is an interconnected continuation of the Bible, and that study of both texts simultaneously results in a conversation.”

Another aspect of researching the Bible and the Qu’ran as literature that El-Badawi emphasizes is that of language competency. To fully appreciate and understand these texts, he undertook study of several languages that appear in original versions of the texts.

“I agree and reiterate that the study of any biblical text requires comprehensive study in several languages,” Ferguson said. “Teachers of biblical texts who have that ability are at an advantage over those who don’t.”

El-Badawi encourages teaching theological scriptures without introducing the discussion through theology, but rather by catering to a broader audience with the universal qualities of scripture, like language, history and literature.

“This type of research imposes an inevitable sense of broad-mindedness that I will always carry with me from now on,” El-Badawi said. “It seems to fill in the hole of human knowledge regarding the connection between two closely related texts.” news@thedailycougar.com

FINANCE

Fed must help parents, students burden tuition

I

t’s no secret that college is expensive in the United States.

The probability of post-graduation debt makes some students wonder how much of the tab they are expected to pick up.

Student loans are easy to obtain for any kind of student, but they Shane aren’t always Brandt easy to pay back.

As the price of college continues to soar and jobs become scarcer, student debt is on the rise throughout the country.

According to the Institute for College Access & Success, seven in 10 college seniors in 2012 had student debt, and the average amount was $29,400.

Many graduates also find out a bachelor’s degree doesn’t guarantee a job. So as those entering the workplace feel strangled by the pressure to pay off large amounts of debt, many are asking how they are supposed to make ends meet.

Although aid for students is out there, it often just isn’t enough to cover the costs.

Some might argue that parents have a responsibility to start helping their kids more, but many parents aren’t capable, and some outright choose not to.

Students from poor families aren’t the only ones who are hurting hard in American colleges right now.

Many students from middleclass families and even upper-class families are hurting from student loan debt because of federal aid policies.

Dependent students are familiar with the Expected Family Contribution amount that is given after filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Maybe for some students, the amount of money under that little label might have seemed reasonable. But for many families, that number isn’t possible to reach, and many simply choose to ignore it.

According to FAFSA’s website,

the EFC is “a measure of your family’s financial strength and is calculated according to a formula established by law.”

However, the site also states that it is not the amount your family will have to pay, but rather a number used by the school to evaluate how much financial aid a student will receive.

This means that for some schools, students can have a higher need for support depending on how aid is distributed.

Yet there is no federal regulation requiring parents to put any effort into financing their children’s education. This has led to many young adults being stuck with less aid because of a government that expects parents to help and parents who can’t or won’t help.

Filing as independent on FAFSA isn’t easy either, unless you are 24, married, have dependents or can prove yourself estranged from your parents.

So I’m sorry to all young freshmen, but if you don’t fall into any of those categories, you might just be out of luck when it comes to obtaining more federal aid, regardless of how self-sufficient you are.

Communications junior Shariona Cochran believes the current system isn’t providing students enough aid.

“I personally get loans,” she said.

“I’m going to have to pay for that based off of how much my mom makes. She doesn’t make a whole lot, but she makes enough to where I get one grant every semester. That’s maybe one class and what, a book?”

Perhaps parents don’t owe their children anything after they reach the age of 18, and perhaps taxpayers don’t owe the next generation a helping hand, but in a culture that stresses how important college is for success, we need to re-evaluate our options for investing in our future.

For the sake of maintaining and building on our country’s

David Delgado/ The Daily Cougar reputation as educated and innovative, we need to consider how we invest in our college graduates and how we stop the trend of crushing student debt.

Mechanical engineering junior Eduardo Mora said the government should have a heavy hand in fixing financial debt.

“I think the government should help in forcing the universities to reduce prices,” Mora said.

“Everywhere else, education is not as self-destructive as in the United States. The U.S. has college graduates with debt up to their eyebrows; that can’t be good.”

Perhaps easy access to student loans has created a self-feeding problem. Universities may feel tempted to raise prices as student

Whatever the case, Mora is right. There needs to be more financial sympathy from our government and schools.

Although easy-to-obtain student loans may be a cause of rising costs, the solution does not lie in reducing loan access. The solution comes through more accountability for school spending, and perhaps a shift toward socialized higher education should be considered as well.

Golfweek selects Robledo for award The Daily Cougar news services Junior Roman Robledo was honored as the Golfweek National Player of the Week after earning three consecutive individual titles.

It was Robledo’s first national weekly honor and his second weekly award this season. He was honored as the American Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week on Feb. 26.

Robledo posted a score of sevenunder-par 209 to win the Robledo Border Olympics individual title and led the Cougars to their third straight team championship last weekend. He posted three consecutive sub-par rounds for his fourth title in 2013-14 and the fifth title of his career.

Collins, Burrell named All Americans Sophomore LeShon Collins and freshman Cameron Burrell have earned All-America honors for the 2014 indoor season the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Burrell was selected as a first-team All-American after placing sixth in the men’s 60-meter dash at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., this past weekend.

He ran a 6.63 during the 60-meter finals and a record-setting 6.54 in the prelims. Burrell once again broke his own school record and personal record at his first indoor national meet.

Collins was awarded second-team All-America honors for placing ninth in the men’s 60-meter dash during the national meet last weekend.

Legendary guard passes away Congestive heart failure claimed former UH guard Rob Williams’ life.

Williams, 52, died on March 10. He competed for the Cougars from 1979 to 1982 and still is UH’s fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,838 points. He was a key member for UH during the late 1970s and early 1980s and helped lead the Cougars to a combined 70 wins in three seasons and the 1982 NCAA Final Four. sports@thedailycougar.com

After spending last season as a defensive end, junior Eric Eiland is moving back to his natural position at safety. Eiland said his experience in minor league baseball as a center fielder provided the perfect tune up because both positions take similar skill sets. | File photo/The Daily Cougar

FOOTBALL

Familiar position suits safety Eiland’s versatility, professionalism provides example for UH’s underclassmen Marcus Gutierrez Staff writer

Junior Eric Eiland is well-suited for his transition from defensive end to safety because he has gone through so many in his life.

Last year, on the 10th snap of the season, Eiland suffered a leg injury that forced him to sit him out for f i ve ga m e s.

Eiland came back from the injury to start eight games.

Eiland Against SMU, Eiland finished with six tackles, including one sack while returning a fumble 62 yards to the Mustangs’ one-yard line.

Following the season, Eiland focused on getting healthy and working on his craft to prepare for UH’s 15

spring practices.

“Basically I worked on my footwork and to get my technique down,” Eiland said. “Knowing what to do on each play is important, and with repetition, I will get better. (Defensive coordinator David) Gibbs’ system is simple, and it should make the transition process easy. As a safety, I have to know what my teammates are doing in order to make plays.”

Eiland is comfortable with the position change because he played safety when he was a football and baseball star at Lamar High School.

Though he committed to Texas A&M as a safety, Eiland chose to enter the MLB draft and was taken in the second round by the Toronto Blue Jays.

“Playing safety is basically playing center field,” he said. “You see the ball in the air, and you go get it. You see the routes, and you go get it.”

After spending five years in the minor leagues, Eiland decided he wanted to come back to football.

He walked on at UH and played nine games, contributing on special teams and playing linebacker. In the last game of the 2012 season against

Tulane, he had a breakout performance, finishing with a then careerhigh four tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one interception.

Playing came normally, but Eiland’s transition from the diamond to the classroom was tough, and he again adjusted.

“School was a little rough at first — getting up and going to class — but I got used to it, and now I have it under control.”

Head coach Tony Levine said Eiland’s experiences with minor league baseball can help younger players learn from his professional persona.

“He can bring some past experiences in terms of being a professional and show what work ethic it takes to get to the professional level,” Levine said. “Eric can pass that knowledge on to our young players who want to get to that level.”

Senior defensive tackle Joey Mbu said Eiland brings an interesting element to the locker room.

“First of all, he is old. He always tells us that he is a great athlete, (but) we will find out this spring about

that.

“He shows great work ethic and professionalism. He doesn’t complain much. He doesn’t show any immaturity, and if a coach tells him to do a certain task, he just does it.

He is very mature.”

Levine knows that Eiland brings a lot of versatility at safety and as an outside rusher, which is sure to cause opposing quarterbacks to think at the line of scrimmage, but it’s the kind of person Eiland is that Levine admires.

“You can tell being around Eric that he is very mature; he carries and handles himself like a professional.” sports@thedailycougar.com

‘Greatest College Show’ presents history of fiestas Diana Nguyen Senior staff writer

Attendees had the opportunity to see some of the historical items from Frontier Fiesta, interact with Frontier Fiesta alumni and hear from Welcome Wilson Sr. and Frontier Fiesta Chairman Hunter Lewis.

Students, staff and alumni attended the Frontier Fiesta opening reception for a new exhibit titled “Frontier Fiesta: The Greatest College Show on Earth” on Tuesday afternoon at the M.D. Anderson Memorial Library.

“What I’m looking forward to at Frontier Fiesta is the amount of collaborations that we utilized this year,” Lewis said.

“I think the biggest example of that is our collaboration with the Student Program Board to bring B.O.B. up front Friday night. Hard work, negotiations and lots of people came together to make that happen.

We’re really excited about it.”

Frontier Fiesta also involves UH’s smaller organizations.

“The collaboration between (Student Housing and Residential Life) and the University Center staff to put out Coog Casino is a really cool event that happens every year. It’s really great when we can bring people together and have a great time and succeed together. I think that’s what we’re most proud of,” Lewis said.

Public relations alumnus Chase Pedigo said he considers the Frontier Fiesta tradition a way to express school spirit and connect with alumni.

“The event is like a mini version of the Houston Livestock Rodeo show, but with smaller rides,” Pedigo said.

The Council of Ethnic Organizations plans to showcase various cultures.

CEO Cultural Program Director and kinesiology junior Jimmy Mai said that this year, CEO hopes for the event to be more inclusive to all students instead of just fraternity and sorority organizations.

“It’s trying to be more studentbased this year. The CEO are going to be highlighting the countries Chile, South Korea and Jamaica, so be sure to check that out,” Mai said.

“For Chile Thursday, we’re going to get some foosball, and for Friday — South Korea day — we’re going to be making Korean sushi and Korean shaved ice. Saturday, it’s Jamaica, and we’re doing jerk chicken. There’s going to be a big student center which students can go to even if they’re not in a fraternity or sorority, so it’s more inclusive for the students this year.”

Hotel and restaurant management junior Shining Wang said she feels excited for the event because of the history behind it.

“I’m so excited. I got really excited for this around the time of late last semester, when I had the chance to sit in on one of their interviews for the post board members” Wang said.

“It was ... really spur of the moment, but it was cool since they brought in old yearbooks. It was my first eye-opening experience. It had so much history and even beard contests — they’re crazy looking.

It’s unique to UH but open to all of Houston.”
