Students discuss deferred action

Relocated beehive 7 years strong Staff writer

A beehive relocated from the walls of a campus building almost seven years ago has been hard at work maintaining plant life on and near the University ever since, even in the face of declining honeybee populations across the country. In November 2007, there was a rise in students complaining of bees in the Cullen College of Engineering. Once some of them claimed to have found honey on the walls, an inspection confirmed that there was a fully functioning hive of 100,000 bees in a wall of the building. In order to allow classes to continue normally while still maintaining

the hive, the University hired the services of beekeeper Mike Knuckey to safely remove the hive, maintain it until it was again functioning and then relocate it to a forested area on campus. Knuckey did just that, carefully cutting the honeycomb free, relocating it to an artificial hive box and feeding the colony sugar water until it was producing honey of its own again. “The bee box has since been relocated back to campus,” Knuckey said. “You can find it near the south end in a wooded area just off of Cullen Boulevard.” The hive is now out of the way of pedestrians but close enough that bees will still travel to most of campus,

The Graduate College of Social Work Hispanic Student Association, the Mexican American Studies Student Organization and the Youth Empowerment Alliance will host a clinic about applying for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in Room 115 of Leroy & Lucille Melcher Hall. Deferred action is “a discretionary grant of relief ” for undocumented students allowed by the Department of Homeland Security, according to immigrationequality. org. Eligible students are those who are less than 31 years old; came to the U.S. before the age of 16; have resided in the nation since June 2007; are in school or have a diploma or a GED; and have not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor or three consecutive misdemeanors. When approved, the DACA application allows a student to work, study and apply for a driver’s license for a renewable two-year period. Members of HSA, MASSO and YEA have arranged for attorneys to come to the clinic to aid students and their parents in the DACA application process. “For the people who will be attending our clinic, our ultimate goal for them is to get free, quality legal assistance and the empowerment that comes with filling out a DACA application, filing it and, hopefully, eventually getting them approved,” said MASSO

The flowers and Lienhard other plant life live and die by their efforts,” Lienhard wrote. “And bees are vanishing all over America. About one-third of our diet is served by bee pollination. Twenty-two states, including ours, have seen average losses of a third of their bees. These losses reach 80 percent in some areas.” The problem as a whole is being referred to as colony collapse disorder, and researchers are still not entirely sure what the cause is. According to a recent Global Research article, probable causes include pesticides and

HSA President Ana Rodriguez, another heavily involved volunteer for the DACA clinic, said she hopes the day will bring more than just a deferred action application for the students. “In addition to helping students fill out their application and hopefully getting them on track to getting their work permit and driver’s license, I think the the other goal is definitely to connect them to resources and to connect them to the organizations and groups that are out there and want to get them engaged,” Rodriguez said.

from seven countries got together to determine the root cause of the war and come up with an idea to prevent it from ever happening again, AIESEC President Anita Kanagalingam said. “The world was a mess,” Kanagalingam said. “There was so much chaos, and so these people from the seven different countries got together and said, ‘What do we do? Why did this happen?’ They thought of cultural understanding — sending students to other countries and bringing students from other countries here, just to have a better understanding of who people are so there’s no hostility.” In the past two years, Kanagalingam said the UH chapter of AIESEC has sent about 15 students abroad, a number they hope to increase. The international experience AIESEC brings seemed to be well-liked and well-remembered by AIESEC members past and present. “One of our alumni — his name is Keon — went to China, and you can’t start a conversation with him without hearing about China for three hours of your life,” Kanagalingam said. The international experience allows students to gain not only a professional experience in the field but also a humanitarian experience as they teach children. It also helps students become

increasing bee population (is) implementing programs teaching and training urban residents to become amateur beekeepers.” The safe relocation of the beehive, in place of its removal or destruction, is an example of a step that can be taken to alleviate the dropping honeybee population.

who are on the fence about immigration reform,” Perez said. “Everyone has a different story of why and how they came to this country, and those stories are really empowering ... for others to hear, because you put a face to an issue.” The aim is that the empowerment of undocumented students comes from communication. Other undocumented students can hear stories similar to theirs and, in addition to receiving deferred action, become a part of a networked community of deferred-action recipients. “We really hope that the DACA clinic will show other students here on campus that there are groups here on campus who are there for them, can be able to provide resources for them — and support — and ways for them to get involved,” Perez said. “A lot of people who have come to our DACA clinics or events with us end up being volunteers for future, and they’ve been really able to help make a difference around the community.” news@thedailycougar.com

THE DEAN OF STUDENTS OFFICE presents, immersed in the culture of the country they are in. “When you study abroad, you are with other American students studying,” Kanagalingam said. “But when you’re doing these volunteer opportunities, you’re in the culture. You’re in these people’s homes, living life there regularly and getting to see the residence side of things. So it’s a very different aspect.” Sociology senior Michael Lenmark, who is national project manager at of AIESEC shared similar experiences. “In the summer of 2012, I did an education internship at Kita Wolkenburg in Munster, Germany, where I worked as a teacher’s assistant for two months,” Lenmark said. “I sought to do an internship in Germany as I had started my German language studies in 2011. “It was an incredible experience, because I was able to gain real-world work experience in an entirely new environment. While working abroad was incredibly challenging, the opportunity gave me a great sense of independence and confidence that I have taken forward with subsequent work experiences.” Outgoing Global Internship Program Team Leader Maria Huerta said she wishes AIESEC was more well-known. “AIESEC is an opportunity,” she said, “a challenge and a belief in the potential of every student.” news@thedailycougar.com

WOMEN’S RIGHTS

HB 2 clears Texas court, women set to suffer

ast summer, Texas passed House Bill 2, a law that imposed some of the toughest abortion restrictions nationwide upon Texas. It requires that abortion providers have admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles and restricts the use of abortion pills or any other Carolina form of nonTrevino surgical abortion. These restrictions had been officially contested and subsequently sent to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Reversing the previous lower court ruling that had struck down these two provisions, the Fifth Circuit found that this new law had “rational basis,” upholding HB2’s restrictions. Not only have these restrictions been called unnecessary by both the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association, but they have forced multiple abortion clinics in Texas to shut down. In 2011, 44 clinics existed in Texas; by the end of September — when the second half of these restrictions officially goes into effect — there will be only six. Perhaps seven, if the new $5 million Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, currently being scheduled to open its doors when all of these new restrictions come into play, is able to open its doors in time. Those in favor of the new Texas

law claim the new restrictions are meant to enforce safe procedures. What they are unable to understand is that this leaves only six abortion clinics for a population of more than 13 million women. Not only are these six clinics unable to handle this capacity, but many of the clinics that will remain open in September are far away from rural areas, leaving many women with unwanted pregnancies marginalized and forgotten. The court claims this new law does not create an unnecessary burden on the women who would be the most affected by these restrictions. And yet, this seems completely irrational. It can be a burden having to travel as much as four or five hours to reach an abortion clinic. This is especially true for women who live in perpetual poverty and are unable to travel far because of their economic circumstances. There are some women who cannot afford to take two days off work to travel to another city to reach the nearest clinic. Conversely, there are some women who cannot take two months off work to take care of a child whom they cannot feed without neglecting to feed themselves. From the beginning, it has been clear to some that this law is just a thinly veiled anti-abortion law that is meant to make it harder for women all across Texas to make a choice about what happens to not only their bodies but their lives. Even in a conservative state like Texas, there is opposition. “The people of Texas have spoken through their elected leaders and in support of protecting the culture of life in our state,” Gov. Rick Perry said after the 5th Circuit’s ruling. “Today’s court decision is good news for Texas women and the unborn, and we will continue to fight for the protection of life and women’s health in Texas.” When Perry said “Texas has spoken,” he was of course not referring to the thousands of

‘Deep’ secondary led by opportunistic starting safeties Jordan Lewis Senior staff writer

Despite losing two starting cornerbacks from last season, the Cougars’ depth in the secondary has head coach Tony Levine believing this could be the best he has seen since he arrived at UH seven years ago. The Cougars’ two starting safeties, who produced 10 interceptions and helped the defense lead the nation in turnovers, both return to the defensive backfield to lead a somewhat inexperienced group. “I think in our defensive backfield, we have tremendous depth right now,” Levine said. Though the Cougars return some corners that played a significant amount of time last year, last season’s starters Zach McMillan and Thomas Bates have left void in which many players are hungry to fill, including junior William Jackson. Jackson has starting experience. He topped the depth chart during UH’s 20-13 loss to Louisville, which featured Heisman candidate Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback, while McMillian was suspended for the first half. However, Jackson still has to earn the position before the season begins. The Cougars have been competing hard against one another and working on getting to the right depth in their coverage, Jackson said. “It’s competitive every day; we compete every day because nobody has a starting spot yet, so we’re working hard to see who the best man is,” he said. UH’s competitive fire is not only

The Cougars’ secondary is working on getting everyone on the same page, and with new starting corners, the task is easier said than done. The Cougars had good chemistry in an opportunistic starting secondary that produced 17 interceptions last season. Stewart said he and junior safety Adrian McDonald, who nabbed six interceptions last season, will be leaders on the field.

“We have younger players, so me and Adrian McDonald have been trying to get them into the roll of things like stripping the ball and going for the ball at full speed,” Stewart said. In the defensive backfield, UH also has senior Jaron Walker, sophomore Brandon Wilson, junior Marcus Dillard, and two transfers in Tyler White out of Utah and Lee Hightower from Boise State who are both eligible this year. Junior Eric Eiland also

moved from defensive end to safety. “It’s been very competitive in the secondary and it’s been competitive going against the receivers during seven on seven,” Levine said. “We’re always trying to improve our coverage techniques since we play mostly man coverage which has become rare, and across the board tackling as well.” sports@thedailycougar.com

Survance steals show, bases Harrison Lee Senior staff writer

This weekend’s successful conference opener could accurately be described as the Kyle Survance Show. The sophomore right fielder stole six bases, went 5-11 at the plate and looked like the Freshman All-American he was voted after the end of last season as UH took two of three games against Memphis. Behind him and a pitching staff that allowed only seven runs in three games, UH defeated Memphis 6-3 on Saturday and 6-2 Sunday after dropping the opener 2-1 Friday. Survance, who was named the American Athletic Conference player of the week on Monday and is hitting .340 on the season, was one of the driving

He has the ability to be the best player on the field every time we play. He can do so many things. He’s a great outfielder with a good arm. He can run. He’s a threat.” Head coach Todd Whitting, on Kyle Survance’s versatility as a player forces behind the Cougars’ conference home stand. He received what some would call the ultimate compliment from his head coach after the game.

“He has the ability to be the best player on the field every time we play,” said head coach Todd Whitting. “He can do so many things. He’s a great outfielder with a good arm. He can really, really run. He’s a threat. He’s that guy that should be the one that the other dugout is trying to figure out when he’s going to come up to bat.” Survance happily acknowledged that his head coach’s praise could serve as a boost to his self-esteem. “It helps (my confidence) a lot to have coach Whitting to say that about me. It gives me a lot more confidence going into games this season,” Survance said. His day on the base paths, which SHOW continues on page 8

Guest panel to fight crime misconceptions Monica Tso Life and arts editor

Walking alone to parking lots from classrooms and residence halls in the daytime or nighttime can be daunting for students who roam UH as they clench onto their belongings. Crime reports that highlight stolen items, shattered car windows and sidewalk muggings shine a negative light on the University. The emphasis of on-campus crime gives many students a skewed impression of safety hazards and protocols. The Student Program Board and the Student Government Association will host a discussion — “How Safe Do You Feel on Campus?” — on the perception of high crime and the low rates of crime that occur from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the UC Theater. “We want everyone to know that the campus is safe and that our campus is protected. We are working with SGA to help raise awareness and to give students, staff, whoever attends, the right resources available,” said digital media junior Tabia Jarrett, who is the SPB comedy and speakers chair. “For example, the Women’s Resource Center sometimes provides self-defense classes.” Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia and UH Polic e Chief Ceaser Moore have been involved in numerous crime reports that include assaults, criminal mischief, burglary, traffic offense and more. Garcia and Moore will examine the misconception of high crime at the University. Other influential guest speakers include SGA President Cedric Bandoh and Counseling and Psychological Services Clinical Director

Dr. Christopher Scott. “Our guest panel will have statistics about crime at UH, and they’ll talk about real world experiences,” Janett said. Program Coordinator Terrence Campbell will represent Change Happens!, a community-based organization that helps adults and at-risk youth. Concerned students are able to

ask the guests to receive feedback about safety during the Q&A session after the presentation. “As far as the business/east side of campus is concerned, I feel relatively safe, “ said accounting junior Bradley Sui. “Elsewhere, as long as it’s the middle of the day, I don’t have a problem with.” arts@thedailycougar.com

The two steals helped the Cougars score three insurance runs to put the game away with senior pitcher Chase Wellbrock on the mound. This offensive performance, combined with the work of pitchers Jake Lemoine, Tyler Ford and Wellbrock, guided UH through the weekend. UH batters excelled at procuring their runs with two outs and in later innings. “Two out of three against a team as good as Memphis? I’ll take it,” Whitting said. Wellbrock, the winner of game three of the series, downplayed any sort of overriding significance linked to an early in-conference series. “It’s a big boost to this program,” Wellbrock said, who worked 2.2 innings on Sunday. “We’ve kind of been on a roll, so this honestly feels like another win. It’s a good start for the rest of the season.” sports@thedailycougar.com
