Undie run goes south; one arrestedAmanda HilowManaging editor
The collision of Texas Southern students, an unauthorized “under-wear run” and a Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. event at Lynn B. Eusan Park on Tuesday night esca-lated into a post-election celebra-tory spectacle that many students described as a riot.
Amidst dancing to a live disc jockey, chants for President Barack Obama and students walking around half-dressed were disen-chanted Republicans standing to the side and shouting into the throng of students and UH police officers who were not comfortable with the turn of events.
“Basically it turned into a huge party,” said creative writing senior Caleb Rogers.
“Everyone gathered in front of Cougar Village cheering for Obama and — this is the funny thing — at the same time, one of the sorori-ties were planning a panty run so the two combined.”
As the TSU students decided to begin disrobing as well, UHDPS officers arrived at the scene — which was classified as a distur-bance — at around 11:40 p.m., intending to disperse the crowd, which had reached 1,000 students and begun to edge toward the
surrounding residence halls.Rogers said police cars were
weaving through groups of stu-dents and activating their lights and sirens to make students leave the area.
UH Executive Director of Media Relations Richard Bonnin said the park was reserved by Phi Beta
Sigma for a celebration of 200 stu-dents in honor of the University’s first African-American Homecom-ing queen, Lynn Eusan. The under-wear run in the same location was not approved.
“The University did not sanc-tion such an event, and a request to do so was never submitted,”
Bonnin said in a statement.W h e n m a n y p a r t i c i p a n t s
declined to leave the area, Hous-ton Police Department and TSU police were dispatched at 12:10 a.m. to assist in dispersing the dis-turbance, said HPD spokesperson

Students clean campus at festivalLaura GillespieStaff writer
Students turned out for every-thing from a coffee sampling at Cougar Woods Dining Hall to picking up trash around campus at the four-day UH Sustainability Fest that began Nov.1, hosted by the Office of Sustainability, Rota-ract and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
“(The Fest) started on Thurs-day, we had different tables from different organizations throughout campus or beyond,” said Adam Nguyen, architecture graduate student and a marketing intern for the Office of Sustainability. “We had Metro, we had the cam-pus bookstore, different people
coming together to get students more involved.”
On Thursday night, the Office of Sustainability also hosted an open house at Moody Towers.
“We were trying to get students more inclined to recycle and give them more knowledge (about recy-cling),” Nguyen said.
Students walked to various areas on campus, including Butler Plaza, the University Center, and near the residence halls for Trash-Off on Saturday to collect litter. The Trash-Off was followed by a work session at the Community Garden Sunday evening.
“(Rotaract is involved with) projects such as donating to polio (relief ), donating canned goods and clothes,” said Larissa Davis,
the coordinator for Trash-Off Cam-pus. “This is our very first year on UH campus and we decided to
join with UH (Sustainability), and

Architects from three countries will meet to discus potential pre-cautions against climate change and disasters, like Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy, through archi-tecture and urban planning from 1 to 7:15 p.m. Today and 2 to 6 p.m. Friday in the College of Architec-ture’s Theater Room.
“Dynamic Equilibrium at the Water’s Edge: Three Continents Symposium” was initiated by UH Dean of Architecture Patricia Oli-ver and will include guest lectur-ers from the University of Buenos
Aires in Argentina, Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands, and Tulane University.
Thomas Colbert, a UH associ-ate professor of architecture, will be presenting his project called the “Lone Star Coastal National Rec-reation Area,” in a lecture called “Water Strategies for the Upper Texas Gulf Coast.”
“Following what happened to New York, recently, and New Orleans, in 2005, we need to make sure it doesn’t happen here,” said Colbert, who moved to Houston from Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. “We need to fine tune our thinking to keep people safe
in growing coastal communities.”David Waggonner, of Wag-
gonner & Ball Architects in New Orleans will also be presenting a lecture titled “Dutch Dialogues and a Water Strategy for New Orleans.” Additional speakers will be Flavio Janches, professor at the University of Buenos Aires, will be presenting “Whose City Is It?” Jef-fery A. Carney, associate professor and director of Louisiana State University’s Coastal Sustainability Studio, will be lecturing “Lift up. Dig In. Get out? Design Thinking for the Future Gulf Coast.”
“A serious debate needs to occur on how to solve these
issues,” said Colbert. “People have superficial ideas that we want to put to the test and challenge. We are looking for practical and real-istic solutions.”
Some architecture students have already considered the field’s responsibility to take environ-mental change into consideration when designing buildings.
“From the environmental per-spective, a designer must under-stand how the site now functions, its location, flora and fauna that might be on site,” architecture senior Ar mando Her nandez said. “For example, a building designed as an office building
might function differently 25 years down the road, and the impact on the environment most likely will change.”
Other students believe that environmental change is every-one’s responsibility but that envi-ronmental consideration is crucial in architecture.
“I do not believe architects are the only people responsible for these environmental endeav-ors,” architecture junior Wintress Cloud said. “But if architects don’t consider the environment during construction, then who will?”
Architects look for new ways to manage disaster
they helped us out to do the Trash-Off.”
The Fest isn’t the only thing the Office of Sustainability does. It also processes grants and publishes newsletters discussing UH goals to become greener.
“The idea is that as students walk by, they can go up to any department that has an exhibit there, or student organization,
and learn a little about what that department is doing in terms of sustainability, and also get feed-back,” said Leah Wolfthal, pro-gram coordinator for the Office of Sustainability.
“The feedback is also the crucial part. It’s not just to raise awareness, but also engagement and saying what they want to happen, what they think should happen, and how they want to be involved,” Wolfthal said.
Jodi Silva.“The police asked the crowd to
leave; many complied but several students were still hanging around and refused to leave,” said Silva. “There was one female we asked to leave and she repeatedly said she didn’t have to.”
Silva said the female UH stu-dent shoved the officer when he asked for her identification and attempted to walk her to the patrol vehicle.
The officer detained her and was surrounded by a group of her
friends.“ ( T h e s t u d e n t s ) w e r e n’t
responding too positively to the aggression and they actually started surrounding him and there was a scuffle that broke out,” said Rogers, who said he witnessed the incident.
The female was taken into cus-tody and escorted to Harris County Jail, charged with a misdemeanor for resisting arrest.
After the crowd dispersed, students reported damage to vehicles and to a door in Taub Residence Hall, but no injuries were reported.

Bryan WashingtonStaff columnist
The Office of Scholar-ships and Financial Aid is a necessary component
to a successful university and appears to give students some relief.
It could be the third word of its title — scholarship — that incites good vibes. Maybe it’s the concept of aid itself. Or, if noth-ing else, it could be the notion that there’s one building of sev-eral on this campus that makes its livelihood out of assisting its patrons indiscriminately, rich and broke alike.
But when you visit this build-ing on business, you realize that you’ve been fooled. If someone graphed a pie chart out of our university’s ailments, from the man-holes on Wheeler Street to mood-dependent office hours, they’d be hard pressed to find room to fit in the issues that reside in the Office of Scholar-ships and Financial Aid.
Whatever choices you make during your tenure at this institution, none of them are conceivable until you’ve paid your tuition and fees — to accomplish this, you need to take a field trip to the little building by the parking garage. And even once you’ve arrived, there’s no
assuring that it will be successful.The office could benefit from
brainstorming some solutions to the issues that seem to continue being ignored. Even before the obvious incongruities of online inaccessibility and the low likelihood of being waitlisted with a single digit, the office could be greatly improved by altering its information distribu-tion methods. A study hasn’t been conducted, but it seems a fair amount of its visitors pass through because they simply have no idea what has happened to their funds.
Those that had the luxury of forewarning may have received an absurdly vague email. These look more like badly worded ransom notes than Tier One notifications.
The unlucky ones show up to the office because they’ve got nowhere else to go after discov-ering moments before class that they’ve been dropped. It isn’t until they find time to check their email hours later that they see they’d been warned of impend-ing fines only minutes before their morning classes. They had all of half an hour to save their semester.
The office’s hours aren’t doing them any favors either. It’s as if maximum occupancy must be reached before its employees can take off for lunch.
That isn’t a slam on the building’s personnel, but with a clientele that ebbs and flows like a steady current, the hours of operation ought to reflect the populous.
This would mean that around noon a reasonable amount of personnel should be on hand to assist students.

Ideally, it would resemble service based on the customer, because that’s what a university really is — a service — and keep-ing a customer waiting is no way to stay in business.
This isn’t to say that the office doesn’t have its own problems:
budget cuts, staff restructuring and marketing shifts take a toll on the way an operation is run. We know it’s tough.
But, all concessions given, there are only so many excuses to make.
If the University really wanted
to give its students something to shout about, they could start with making it a little easier for them to stay here.

Without senior defensive bacl D.J. Hayden on the field, other players in the secondary will
take on new responsibili-ties, defen-sive backs assistant coach Zac Spavital said.
After colliding with another
player, Hayden was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital by ambulance during Tuesday’s practice.
“Other guys are going to have to step up. We’re not going to play any different. We’re going to do what we do,” Spavital said.
Hayden injury updateJunior defensive back Thomas
Bates will start on the outside, but other players will rotate, Spavital said.
“Right now, I’d just like to have everyone keep D.J. in your thoughts and prayers,” head coach Tony Levine said to SportsTalk 790 AM. “It was a freak accident — we
were working defense against our scout offense and he and another player broke on a ball then collided.”
Team moving forwardLevine also said injuries have
become a part of the game and that it is important for the remain-ing player to maintaining the right mindset.
“A couple weeks ago I watched the South Carolina game live when their running back Marcus Latti-more went down with a serious leg injury and it’s hard (for the team) to get back up and compete,” Levine said. “That’s my respon-sibility to make sure the team is
okay and the other 124 young men respond to it in the appropriate way.”
“I was in touch with a number of players last night and again, it’s not easy,” Levine said. “Talk-ing about young men who have known their teammates for a long time, are roommates with them. That occurrence is never easy to deal with.”
Leadership hard to replaceSpavital said on the field there
is no substitute for Hayden’s talent.
Hayden was named Conference USA Defensive Newcomer of the Year a season ago with 11 passes broken up.
Through nine games played, Hayden is first on the team with four interceptions and third in solo tackles with 38.
“He’s a vocal leader and a leader by his actions,” Spavital said. “He’s made some big plays for us lately and we’re trying to manage that and keep everyone going.”

Cougar spirit jumpstarts Homecoming weekHOMECOMING
Molly HillContributing writer
Homecoming celebrations at UH continued as students and
faculty gathered Tuesday evening at Lynn Eusan Park for the “Go Coogs Day!” event to boost Cougar spirit with loud music, crafts and
speeches.The UH Homecoming Board
ran many activities promoting their “Keep Houston Red” theme f o r Ho m e c o m i n g we e k a n d encouraged support for the foot-ball team for their upcoming game against Tulsa.
Tables were set up providing space for fans to make posters to cheer for the Cougars. Students enjoyed free t-shirts, sunglasses, and food.
“We wanted to have this event to promote Cougar pride and to get students excited for Home-coming,” said Jacob Ortiz, the director of production for the UH Homecoming Board.
“We planned events that we know would bring out fans and we are very happy with the turn-out.”
The Hot 95.7 radio station cre-ated a soundtrack for the event
and led the audience in chants and cheers.
A few members of the Coog Crew displayed their cheering talents by inviting all students to show up loud and proud on game-day to support the team.
“We need every student to grab everybody they know and come out and fill up the student sec-tion,” said Mike Brown, a senior at the Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management and president of the Coog Crew.
“Show up, have a good time, cheer loud, and go Coogs!”
Students were allowed the opportunity to gather together and create an aerial photo with their Shasta paws up in the air.
A parade of students also made their way to the Shasta statue out-side of the Roy G. Cullen building to give it a quick rub for good luck and snap a picture with a new
pair of sunglasses provided by the Homecoming staff.
Mike Pede, the president and CEO of the UH Alumni Associa-tion spoke to the students about what being an alumni means to the university.
Homecoming allows UH alumni to return to campus to celebrate with students and spread the word about how being a Cougar does not have to end at graduation, Pede said.
“We are living during the golden age of UH, and by next fall we will have 8,200 students living on campus,” he said.
“This is the time to grab friends and tell them about the traditions here that they can carry on with them into their alumni years. This is about turning active students into active alumni.”
