Campus News Campus Carry Law Takes Effect, TSU Assigns Gun-Free Zones

BY MAHBUBA MATOVU Staff Writer

Faculty, staff, and students of Texas Southern University are now allowed to carry handguns on campus if they have a license, following the campus carry law that went into effect on August 1st 2016.

The law that was signed by Texas Governor, Greg Abbott allows carrying of concealed weapons on the campus however, it gives public universities some discretion in order for them to regulate the law.

TSU’s Department of Public Safety (TSU DPS) has already created a campus carry policy that is designed to comply with the relevant state law and to address the health, safety, and welfare of the campus community.

The policy includes designated gun free zones that will have signage in both English and Spanish to show that guns are strictly prohibited. It also includes Fluid Gun Free Zones that will change based on scheduled events.

In an informational YouTube video created by TSU DPS, Lt. Jamal Starks talked about how and when a gun license holder can carry their weapon.

“A license holder that carries a gun on campus must carry it in a holster that completely covers the trigger and the entire trigger guard area,” Starks said, adding that license holders carrying a gun on campus must carry it at all times or secure their handgun in a locked privately owned or leased vehicle.

He also said that a licensed owner who carries a semi-automatic handgun on campus must carry it without a chambered round of ammunition.

The video also talked about individuals not being required to disclose whether they are a license holder in order to participate in any program or service offered by the university.

However, a person must display his or her license to carry when directed by a law enforcement officer.

Among the list of designated gun free zones on campus are as stated: all residential halls, the Sawyer and Rhinehart Auditoriums dur-

ing events only, the campus recreation center during disciplinary hearings and basket ball games, all athletic events in places like the Health and Physical Education arena and premises used for disciplinary actions like the Bell building.

The new campus carry law has brought mixed feelings among the students and some faculty members. Graduating senior, Martin Kabutey Adjovu is not too thrilled about sharing an environment with people that could be carrying a weapon.

“Honestly, I don’t feel safe about it because going to school knowing that people have guns and that someone could easily get ticked off and start shooting around is very frightening,” Adjovu said.

Garrin Chillis, a Radio, Television, and Film major whose mother is a law enforcement officer, is pro campus carry.

He believes that it is okay for both students and professors to have protection on them if the need arises.

“You hear about classroom shootings so often these days which makes it necessary for people to have some type of protection,” Chillis said.

Multimedia Journalism Professor, Serbino Sandifer-Walker also expressed her concern about campus carry.

“Having a firearm in a classroom setting is not just concerning, it’s also alarming. Our objective and goal is to empower and elevate students on the subject matter that we are focusing on, and I don’t see the necessity of any type of firearm being in an environment like that,” she said.

The policy has designated staff and faculty offices as discretionary zones, meaning an officeholder may elect to have his or her office marked as a gun free zone.

Violators of any provision of the policy will be subject to all appropriate penalties under TSU’s policies and applicable laws of the State of Texas, including criminal prosecutions that range from a Class-A misdemeanor to a felony of the third degree.

Campus News Meet Your New SGA President, Justin Lee

BY TATIANA HARASIM Campus News Writer One of Justin Lee’s dreams have come true.

Lee, a junior majoring in interpersonal communication, is the new Student Government Association president.

seat here as well ever since he set foot onto the TSU campus in the fall of 2014.

“My passion is making sure the student body is well taken care of,” Lee said. “I am here to listen.”

Lee’s road to the TSU presidency began with his run to for Mr. Freshman in 2014. Lee did not win but persevered, learned his constitution and ran for Urban Academic Village senator. Lee served as UAV senator for the 20142015 term.

Lee’s passion can be summarized through the platform for his student government administration, F.O.C.U.S., or “Fulfill Educational Dreams - Overcoming Obstacles - by Breaking Communication Barriers - Unifying Students.”

Lee strives to bring the morale back at TSU. He wants students to support our players at games and attend events such as this year’s Freshmen Rock the House on August 26.

“It’s going to be bigger and better than ever,” Lee said.

Lee is no stranger to student government.

In his high school student council, Lee worked his way up from treasurer, to student body secretary, to student body vice president and president his senior year.

Lee has had his sights set on the presidential

“This is a dream come true,” Lee said.

Lee’s drive and dedication did not go unnoticed. He sparked the attention of former SGA President Crystal Owens who asked him to run on her ticket as executive secretary. Lee served in Owens’ cabinet for the 2015-2016 term.

“When I first met Justin, I noticed he was very ambitious,” Owens said. “I think he’s going to do an excellent job as president.”

Lee urges students to keep pushing, to stay well rounded and set high goals for themselves.

Following his own advice, Lee’s ultimate goal is to be the Senior Research and Recovery Director for the White House.

The TSU Student Government, much like the United States Government, is made up of three branches....

Executive Branch The Executive Branch is made up of an elected President and Vice President, and an appointed Executive Board, Executive Staff , Cabinet of Policy Directors and Agencies. These members are appointed by the President and approved by the Assembly.

Legislative Branch The Legislative Branch is made up of the Assembly of elected representatives. There are UniversityWide Representatives that are elected by the entire student body and other representatives are elected to represent the students of specific colleges.

Judicial Branch The Judicial Court, composed of 5 justices appointed by the Student Government President and approved by the Assembly would enforce the rules of the governing documents, mediate disputes between branches, and serve as the appellate court for the Election Supervisory Board.

Campus News President Austin Lane Addresses The Students BY: TATIANA HARASIM Campus News Writer

“Expect a number of changes at Texas Southern University,” that’s what our new president, Dr. Austin A. Lane, told The TSU Herald Monday morning as he waited to board his flight to Austin at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Student recruitment and enrollment are top priorities for the president. Early engagement is key. For prospective freshmen, Lane wants to start recruiting students in the ninth grade.

“We have to begin outreach while students are in the ninth grade,” Lane said. As soon as they have chosen the college track over the career track, we have to start.”

The president outlined a plan for summer camps for ninth graders. If a student is interested in pharmacy - or any area of study - they

will be able to experience what the field is really like.

Lane acknowledges a large number of students that attend four-year universities attend a community college first.

Lane has already signed a deal for transfer students with the Lone Star College system to encourage enrollment.

Lane is in the process of finalizing the same deal with Houston Community College, Wharton Junior College and San Jacinto College.

The president has set in place strategic enrollment management plans for graduate students.

Lane has already put a 30-60-90 day plan into effect. The first thirty days will focus on talking to and meeting with the faculty sen-

ate. The sixty, which will reach through October, will consist of visioning sessions.

“In order to create a shared vision, I need to sit down with faculty, staff, alumnus, members of the community and most importantly students,” Lane said.

This part of the process will allow the president to pullout emerging themes and prioritize.

The three-step plan will come to a conclusion in January when the president makes his State of the University Address. Lane will share the emerging themes, what he plans to move forward with and held accountable for.

Lane is a man of strategy and action.

Special Assistant to the President, Wendell Williams can attest to that. Williams has worked closely with the president for six years.

“He uses data to make his decisions,” Wendell said. “He is destined to move TSU forward.”

Lane has an impressive background.

Lane served as vice president for student affairs at Tyler Junior College, served as dean of students at University of Texas at Arlington and served on the Masters in Higher Education board for the College of Education at Sam Houston State University. Lane was appointed Executive Vice Chancellor of Lone Star College in January 2015.

Lane shared that tears were brought to his eyes when he was offered the job at TSU. He received the news on his 45th birthday.

It was a defining moment that triggered the memory of an 18-year-old young man from Hackensack, New Jersey, who didn’t have the GPA or SAT scores, but was fortunate enough to be accepted to Texas Southern University.

Lane couldn’t afford to attend TSU but remembers looking through the rod iron gates – that are still here – and looking in awe.

Lane went on to attend Odessa Junior College on a basketball scholarship, earn a B.A. in psychology from Langston University – the only HBCU in Oklahoma – M.A. in human relations from The University of Oklahoma, and Ed.D. in higher education from the university of Alabama.

Lane looks forward to the upcoming year. “I believe in our students,” Lane said.

“We have to raise the bar – no one rises to low expectations.”

Sports Sports Rundown

BY MESHACH SULLIVAN & AKIL WILLIAMS Sports Writers

NEW-LOOK TIGERS ANXIOUS TO COMPETE UNDER NEW COACHING STAFF The Texas Southern University football is looking to rebound from a horrible 3-7 season last year.

Darrell Asberry went out of the door and a regime has come in. Coach Michael Haywood is the new head coach of Tiger football. He has already implemented a hard raw nose team. He preaches conditioning and toughness.

“The hardest thing is conditioning, there is no walking on the green,” said Jarius Moore.

Coach Haywood has been successful in his head coaching career. He took a University of Miami (OH) to a MAC championship.

The offense of the Tigers was the biggest issue last season. Greg Gregory the new offense coordinator had a few pieces to work with. Derrick Griffin led the conference in touchdown receptions last season. Brad Woodard is expected to have a breakout year after a modest freshman season. He has shined in the spring game and fall practice. Jay Christophe will be the starting quarterback this season after being the starter two seasons ago.

“We don’t try to take a player and market that player,” said Greg Gregory. “We are trying to be to develop a touch physical football team.”

The defense of the Tigers was not as bad as the offense, but it can always use improvement.

Defensive coordinator Tom Anthony wants to build off the success and get the defense more disciplined.

“They have bought in from spring ball to now,” said Tom Anthony, “I love our intensity and lead-

ership and I am really happy with where we are.”

Moore believes that with a new coaching staff, this is their first real season of college football at this program.

“I honestly believe that, with new coaches, a new program, this is our first time letting our fans know what TSU is about,” said Moore.

The past four seasons under former head coach Darrell Asbury, the Tigers never had a winning season, with a total of 12 wins during his tenure.

When asked about the schedule this season, Moore believes that this is a challenge for this team and being road tested will make this team stronger.

Moore said, “It’s a big opportunity for us to get better and to prove to everyone what TSU is about.”

The Tigers play Houston Baptist University on September 10th and play Sam Houston later in the season on October 29th. Moore says if his team can pull off a victory in Sam Houston then it will be a big factor for this team.

Moore feels confident about his upcoming opponent Prairie View A&M. “I’m 100% confident in the team we have right now. Our mindset is to go in and hit them in the mouth first,” said Moore in comments about the rival after a 38-11 loss at home last season against the Panthers. TSU will now be on the road and look to avenge their lost.

Moore also believes that this team is done with rebuilding mode and that it’s the year of the Tigers. “I believe that this is the year for us, all of our rebuilding years are over with. I been here for four years and I seen the rebuilding part. As a 5th

year senior I see that the difference is made and we tell each other everyday that this is our year.”

LADY TIGERS SOCCER DEFEATS TEXAS A&M-TEXARKANA (courtesy of www.tsusports.com) Texas Southern grabbed its first win of the season after defeating Texas A&M-Texarkana by a score of 4-1 on Sunday afternoon.

The Lady Tigers are now 1-1 on the season.

Kailand Thompson registered a team-high two goals after taking three shots, all on target. Paige Hayward and Kayla Smith each added a score to Texas Southern’s book with Hayward adding three assists.

Ysamar Alonso also recorded an assist.

In total, the Lady Tigers took 10 shots including six on goal. Angelica Perez was credited the win after making three saves in 90 minutes of play.

The Lady Tigers will return to the field on Sunday in another non-conference home match-up scheduled against St. Thomas.

Life & Style Tiger’s Declassified: Freshman Survival Guide BY: MARIEA BOYD Staff Writer

1. Dress for success: Finally, you have been released from the abyss of uniforms for 180 days a year — I get it, but that doesn’t mean that pajamas or your favorite club outfit should be your choice of attire. What you wear is the very first impression your peers will make of you, and if the “I just rolled out of bed and this is the first thing I saw on my floor guy/girl” is not you make it count.

2. The 8AM class: Most freshmen do not get the full luxury of choosing their own class times, but if you do try to avoid the 8am Biology lab. Trust me, twelve years of being in the cafeteria at 7:45am did not prepare you for a full night of beer pong and walking across the tiger walk desperate to make it class by 7:59am. And if you registered late and that was the only class time open, I suggest packing your backpack and showering the night before; it’ll pay off when you’ve hit the snooze button 5 times and now you have to sprint out the door.

3. Learn to cope with homesickness: Maybe you’re sitting in the parking lot behind leinar east right now with a hamper full of dirty clothes ready to go home. It’s only natural that there will be times when you miss your family, even if you were one of those kids who couldn’t wait to get away. Try to stay on campus as much as possible. The more you stay in your dorm the more it will feel like home. Not to add you only have fifteen college weekends. FIFTEEN COLLEGE WEEKENDS: where legends are made. Don’t waste valuable time on I-45. Explore Houston. Run at herman park or visit toute suite downtown for some awesome coffee and macaroons.

4. Friendships: After Freshman rock the house and when you’ve found the perfect table to sit at alone in the cafeteria, take a step back at reassess some friendships. Do you laugh at the same jokes or does he or she take school as serious as you do? Don’t restrict yourself to the people you met during the first week, broaden your horizon and meet new people.

5. Go to class: The first two-weeks of school might seem unimportant, but showing up could make or break your semester. Not-to-mention some professors dock your grade by a point for poor attendance. Check your syllabus. Most professors allow one or two absences but save them for when you have 5 essays, mono, and a presentation at the end of the semester.

6. Save your money: When your older brother told you that he had to eat ramen noodles for a week because he spent all his money on “completely necessary accessories for the frat party” he wasn’t kidding. Learn ways to make $200 stretch for a month.

7. Drinking: (Direct quote from BustedHalo.com) You might be tempted to tune this advice out because you’ve heard it so many times but…DON’T! I can’t tell you how many kids I’ve known who’ve bombed out because they drank too much! Without the simple limits of home —curfews,“my mom will know if I spend the night hugging the toilet,”friends who don’t want to go drinking — it’s easy to find yourself with a very expensive waste of a semester. It’s a really embarrassing way to flunk out of college or get yourself into stupid trouble.

You’ve done all the prep work — you’ve graduated from high school, rocked the SAT’s, gotten into your dream school, survived the summer, and said your good-byes to family — so capitalize

Politics “White Lives Matter” Protests Forms In Front of Houston’s NCAAP

BY Nikki Luellen Political Columnist

up for themselves and affirming that their lives matter.”

When asked about the inception of the movement Black Lives Matter, Collier explains

On August 21st 2016, student activists Anthony Collier and Jay Wilson received a text telling them to be at the NAACP headquarters in Houston immediately. When they arrived they were shocked to see armed white supremacists waving confederate flags and holding a banner that read, “White Lives Matter”. These White Lives Matter supremacists were soon outnumbered by Black activists and residents from the Third Ward community. Looking at the supremacists, the following questions come to mind, “Why did the protestors choose to have their rally at the NAACP?” also “What is the message White Lives Matter wants to send?”

people of all nationalities, the issues that face African Americans in the justice system have been brought to the forefront as a national emergency and have sparked conversations on police brutality and racism against African Americans in all facets of their lives.

With the ongoing police murders of Black people in America, there has been a national outcry for justice from the black community. In July alone, Americans have watched from their social media, back to back murders of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and Alva Braziel. According to the website Mapping Police Violence, 97% of cases in 2015 did not result in an officer being charged with a crime.

In 2015, 346 black people have lost their lives to police murders. In this year alone police have murdered over 160 black people. Many black people in America have given up faith in the justice system and have taken their frustrations to the streets to demand change.

Even in activism white people have the privilege to stand on the lawn of the NAACP and bombard the black community with guns, vests, confederate flags and scream, “White Lives Matter” meanwhile a Black person could get shot for no reason except for being just that, black. Student activist and Co-Founder of SSLA (Southern Student Leadership Association).

Anthony Collier explained that the white guy who mainly spoke for the group had a Trump hat on and said over and over again that Black people can say Black Lives Matter but when White people say White Lives Matter they are called racists.

Black Lives Matter has been at the forefront of many of the protests that have occurred throughout the U.S. and Black people around the nation have identified with the group.

Gaining support from other countries and

Collier asserts, “White Lives Matter stems from certain people not respecting Black lives. They don’t see value in Black life so they don’t understand the Black Lives Matter movement and they feel threatened by Black people standing

“If we ever tried to send some young black men with guns to wherever they come from, any white side of Houston or America for that matter, we would get killed. Today we always see black people being killed because of the assumption they had a gun and they find out that they were unarmed,” said Wilson.

“Black Lives Matter started when George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin and got away with murder. When George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin he was not on trial, Trayvon Martin was on trial. This nation is notorious for blaming the victim when it comes to black people. It’s not a crime to be walking outside at night with a hoodie on. He has human rights just like anyone else. Black Lives Matter is basically saying black lives has just as much value as any other life and we demand to be treated like human beings.”

In 2016, Black activists are still misunderstood by white supremacists which forces one to make the assumption that some people do not want to understand the Black Lives Matter movement because they don’t want to give up their white privilege. Black Lives Matter is not a hate group and nor will they back down from their stance.

On August 21st 2016, the Black community was bombarded with ignorance, hate and threats but they responded with courage and dignity. White Lives Matter may not understand the reason Black Lives Matter exists but the people that resonates with the movement do. Black Lives Matter is bigger than just an organization, it is a powerful truth that cannot be defeated.

In the words of Medgar Evers, “You can kill a man, but you can’t kill an idea.”
