Five UH things incoming Cougars should know
Julie Araica @juliearaica
Want to thrive at UH? Make sure you are familiar with these five UH staples.
The Cougar Sign Back in 1953, UH used live cougar mascots to represent Shasta instead of the costumed ones we know today. En route to a game against the University of Texas, one of these cougar’s toes got caught in her cage, and during the game, UT mocked our team using a hand gesture that simulated a three-toed paw. However, UH students quickly adopted this hand gesture as a way of supporting their beloved mascot.
Rub Shasta’s paw for good luck If you ever really need to ace an exam, it might not hurt to drop by the cougar statues in front of Cullen family plaza. It is said that rubbing their paws will bring you good luck, and when you’re in a pinch, it doesn’t hurt to have said luck on your side.
Cougar Red Fridays On Fridays, cougars wear red. Not only is wearing red on Fridays a great way to show school spirit, some professors will even give away extra credit points to the students who represent cougar pride during this time of the week.
School colors The official hues of UH are scarlet red and albino white. These were the two colors reference the ancestors of Sam Houston, with red symbolizing courage and strength, and white symbolizing goodwill and a desire to help others.
Frontier Fiesta Once dubbed by Life magazine as “the greatest college show on earth,” Frontier Fiesta is UH’s first tradition, and is a three-day event that takes place every spring semester. The event usually features rides, variety shows and headline performances for students to enjoy.

A guide to the best on-campus food trucks
Dana C. Jones @danacjones_
Houston used to be the fattest city in America, but as of now we rank 53 out of 100 according to WalletHub. Even though we aren’t at the top, the food that got us there stays. As University of Houston students, along with the food on campus, we get to experience the city’s cuisine by way of food trucks that you can eat at using your Cougar Cash that come with some meal plans. Here are some of the best food trucks that come to UH for your eating pleasure.
The Burger Joint While having its own restaurant, it makes it that much easier to get a hold of going mobile. The Burger Joint has made to order classic burgers with add-ons like bacon, cheese, avocado, and a fried egg. If you like that reduced menu from the food trucks, you can head up to the Montrose area to the restaurant and full menu.
Coreanos With the hype around Asian fusion food, this food truck does it the best. Coreanos mixes Asian food like bulgogi and kimchi and puts it in a corn taco with lime, cilantro and onions. They serve different burritos along with the fusion food staple kimchi fries that they’ve cleverly names kimcheese fries.
Flip N’ Patties This truck has some of the most creative options. Flip N’ Patties makes burgers on Filipino steamed buns, but what they put on them range from every kind of flavor imaginable from banana ketchup aioli, panko seared tilapia marinated chopped pecan smoked pork butt and more.
The Waffle Bus A local fave, The Waffle Bus ranges from the savory of their buttermilk chicken and salmon to the sweet treats of chocolate covered strawberries and Nutella and banana. If you don’t try any of the food trucks — which you should — you at least need to try this one.

Tailgate like a pro with these seven Cougar fan must-haves Marialuisa rincon @lucyrinconb
Re-usable water bottle Water is a given, dehydration is not fun. But why not hydrate and save the environment at the same time? Not only are there cool UH branded water bottles for sale in the bookstore, you can get free ones around campus all through Weeks of Welcome.
All red everything Unless through some crazy turn of events the uniform (and school colors) change, every single student should be showing their pride with at least one scarlet article of clothing or accessory.
Cougar Pride Need we say more? Fight, fight, fight for the red and the white!
Fan (or a copy of The Cougar)
Food
As long as you’ve read it already, a copy of The Cougar makes a perfectly acceptable fan during those hot September game days. Pick one up anywhere on campus for the latest news and sports coverage. You can also get a boring regular fan, but who wants that?
Somewhat optional, but what’s a tailgate without some barbecue or a taco bar? If done correctly, the tailgate food should fill you up enough to where you don’t have to spend $15 on a hot dog inside TDECU, but be light enough to where you’re not passing out from the combination of heat, sun and dinner.
Sunscreen/sun protection (hats are fun)
Drinks
It’s pretty difficult NOT to protect yourself from the sun, like you have to try. Wear a hat, smother yourself in sunscreen, hide under the tailgate tent, bring an umbrella. Skin cancer is real, people.
Even more optional, especially if you’re under 21, but what’s a tailgate without beer? Water, soda, mixed drinks: they’re all fine. But to celebrate this quintessential American tradition, nothing less than some ice cold beer will do.
