Fall Faculty Assembly holds meeting today

By Jessel Parra

The C.T. Bauer College of Business and UH Athletics have collaborated again this semester for their annual Bauer Business Leaders Program. President of the Houston Athletic Foundation Matthew Houston helped start this program, which is in its second year. The objective is to try to connect UH student athletes with important Houston business leaders. The agenda involves allowing two individuals to be guest sideline coaches at UH football home games. This time, James Bashaw, president and owner of Houston-

based financial services firm James E. Bashaw & Co., and David Sheives, chief operating officer of independent member firm Grainer, Donnelly & Desroches, got a chance to experience everything a coach does at Saturday’s victory over Tulane. “It was a fantastic opportunity,” Bashaw said. “We got to see the walk-through and the plays, and we got to meet the coaches.” During breakfast, Bashaw and Sheives got the opportunity to meet the players. The two men have been involved with Bauer for about five years and met at UH 30 years ago. “We like Cougar football,” Sheives said. They both have always been Cougar fans BUSINESS continues on page 6

The fall meeting will consist of a number of faculty speakers, including UH President Renu Khator, Faculty Senate President Mark Clarke and UH Fire Marshal Robert Bowden. The meeting offers a platform for discussion about different policies and procedures at the University. The Faculty Senate will convene following the meeting.

The UH Department of Public Safety’s Lost and Found unit receives so many umbrellas that they have resorted to closet space rather than drawers to house them. The Lost and Found is also home to multitudes of cell phones, glasses, textbooks, laptops and keys, among many other things. With a new computer database for lost items, the DPS is finding more success in reuniting students with their belongings. “We have revamped our Lost and Found system, as far as the data entry and retrieval,” Lt. Patrick Lollie said. “The older system (made it) hard to connect a known property to a person. Now, it’s easier to connect.” In the new system, a lost item goes into a electronic database that can be searched by different criteria. “Now it will give me everything that matches that criteria, instead of having to try to chase down a piece of paper that has that description on it,” Lollie said. While the Lost and Found has a high success rate with unique and valuable items, students do not always come to claim the belongings that turn up. After a certain amount of time, the items are donated to charity. “We didn’t just throw it in the trash or say, ‘Hey this is nice. I’ll keep that,’” Lollie said. “It would probably make you feel good to know that it went to a worthy cause.” Students can turn in lost items at any of the locations on campus and check if a lost item has turned up by coming into the UHDPS station or calling over the phone. With the new system, all Lost and Found locations are now connected to where items can be tracked, especially if someone came in to report a missing item. “We’ll put that person’s information in, and if we get it later, we can call,” Lollie said. “It’s easier now for us to get it back to them.” news@thedailycougar.com

PAKISTAN

Drones from above intercept attacks Missiles launched by target drones struck areas in Pakistan occupied by militants Monday and Tuesday. CNN reported that at least one al-Qaida commander was killed in the process while numerous other sources indicate that planned terror attacks by al-Qaida may have been interrupted by the strikes. The drone attacks were conducted as part of a joint operation between U.S., U.K., French and German intelligence agencies. Sources state that an impending "Mumbaistyle" bombing was feared to happen to metropolitan areas in Europe. A series of assaults involving semiautomatic weapons and suicide bombers killed 166 people in Mumbai in 2008. Sheikh Mohammad Fateh al Masri, considered to be a senior operational commander for al-Qaida, was killed in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan during the missile drops. No further information was released.

The attacker walked away with two broken fingers and was arrested for a mental health evaluation, reported CNN. The altercation occurred inside a Winter Park, Fla. guitar store when the suspect walked in and began conducting himself aggressively toward customers and employees inside the store. When the suspect got around to attacking the Elmo-clad man, he returned the blows and threw the attacker into a glass case, shattering it. The Elmo man walked away unscathed. The man dressed in the furry attire had been hired to perform at a children's event. Compiled by Newton Liu

THE DIALY COUGAR Given the age-old myth that high-pitched opera voices can shatter glass, a bar seemed an odd location for an opera show. However, no wine glasses were broken Saturday evening when opera ensembles of up to three people performed at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck, a Houston legacy and a well-known pub and live music venue in the Upper Kirby neighborhood. The UH Moores Opera Center held its “What’s Opera, Duck?” night at the dim-lit bar, showcasing a number of the program’s senior and master’s students, who had to be 21 to perform at the bar. The evening of music benefited the Moores Opera Center, which is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its opening in 1986. “What’s Opera, Duck?” contained a variety of musical performances — from traditional opera pieces to musical theater, including a number from the long running musical adaptation of the novel “Les Misérables,” — accompanied only by a piano. The center’s founder and director Buck Ross introduced each ensemble group, some of which were comprised of current or exMucky Duck employees. Ross also spoke about this year’s shows at the Moores Opera Center. The first official show of the 2010-2011 season, “La Vie Parisienne” by Jacques Offenbach, will run from Oct. 22-25. The Moores Opera Center will also revamp and modernize Mozart’s well-known opera “The Magic Flute,” which will be performed from Jan. 27-31, 2011. Perhaps the season’s most anticipated moment will come in April 2011 when the Moores Opera Center will present the first Texas production of Daniel Cátán’s “Il Postino.” “Our season proves that opera does not have to be stuffy. We promise that you will laugh, you will cry and you will hear memorable music in Houston’s best theater,” Ross said in a press release. “It is an enormous honor for the University of Houston to be asked to do the second production of ‘Il Postino.’” All performances are held in the UH Moores Opera House. Tickets are $15 for general admission, but are $10 for students and senior citizens. A season pass is also available for $45.

Campus tragedy shows how connected we are For all three of you that don’t know, a lone gunman at the University of Texas at Austin brought an AK-47 to campus Tuesday and fired a few shots before killing himself in the campus library. Luckily, no one else was hurt, but the fact remains: school shootings happen, and they happen unexpectedly. The gunman opened fire at around 8 a.m. near the UT Tower then retreated to the library after being chased by police. These kinds of things don’t happen in the middle of the night; they occur right when everyone’s at their most vulnerable. Because of the quick response of UT campus security and the Austin Police Department, the entire campus was quickly secured. Officials even searched buildings in case there were any explosive devices lurking around. It’s clear that after numerous attacks on college campuses, security has been tightened and responds quickly to any threat that may arise. All over the UH campus today, students were texting, tweeting and Facebooking their friends in Austin just to find out if they were all right. The University of Texas’ campus went into lockdown for quite some time, and students were posting constant updates from whatever building they were trapped in, letting their families know they weren’t harmed in the failed assault. Yeah, UH has a semi-rivalry with other Texas schools (especially the ones that already have their flagship status.) The Daily Cougar was definitely cheering when UCLA stomped UT harder than they beat us. And sometimes students (even the Daily Cougar) talk trash about other campuses — and we can be pretty harsh when we really set our minds to it. But then something like this happens, and it puts everything in perspective. When all is said and done, we’re all just students. It’s fun to bash each other every once in a while, but we certainly don’t want anyone to get shot. The shooter — who has been identified as 19-year-old UT student Colton Tooley — clearly had some serious problems, and it’s tragic that they led him to bring an assault rifle to campus. We’re glad no bystanders were injured, and we hope everything returns to normal for students in Austin today. And remember — the next time we play each other, in any sport, everything we say is just for fun.

For women, good sex is all mental

ast week The Journal of Sexual Medicine published a study that focused on 50 women who were diagnosed with female sexual arousal disorder. They were all given a placebo instead of Tadalafil, a drug once used to treat erectile dysfunction. The study found that all Camilla of the women saw an Cossio increase of pleasure while under the impression that they were taking medicine to improve their sex life. This is a clear example of how strongly drugs and being medicated have come to affect our lives. But at the same time, it’s also an interesting approach of mind over matter. The placebo response shows how, with a push in the right direction, a lot of so-called problems can easily be fixed without any real medication. All of the women were willing to put in the effort to tweak their lifestyles a little and try

different things, like engaging in more sex. Nevertheless, what the placebo represents is vital. The study suggests that taking steps towards treatment can often generate the body’s own natural healing powers. Instead of a pill, an intense desire for change in the human body can trigger pleasure in many different ways. Sex is not merely physical for women; it is mental. Often that factor seems ignored. It is generally understood that sex for men is much less complex. Women tend to require additional attention to reach a substantial sense of sexual satisfaction. The media also frequently takes the female sexual experience to a ridiculous supra-sexy level that many women cannot reach. This can produce a feeling of inadequacy for women. Outside pressure for women is probably a strong equal for men, but it’s definitely less acknowledged. Magazines like Cosmopolitan still seem solely concerned with the “Top 10 ways to

please your man,” instead of the “Top 10 ways to help yourself.” Often people merely attribute the lack of pleasure or satisfaction that many women feel during sex to the fact that women think too much instead of anything more significant. The placebo suggests that there is not necessarily anything wrong or that needs to be fixed with a woman who experiences low levels of arousal. Instead, it shows how important the mind is in relation to the female and her body. The study demonstrates a basic principle of life. If you want change, you have to act — and then you can start to see results. There is not always a need for medicine. Sometimes the desire to get what you want is strong enough to produce results without faking it. Camilla Cossio is a creative writing sophomore and may be reached at opinion@ thedailycougar.com.

No privacy makes the stars go crazy

n Sept. 21, a 59-year-old man stalked Madonna, writing messages of adoration on the sidewalk outside of her house. More threatening was the fact that he was in criminal possession of a 7-inch pickaxe. Meanwhile, everywhere a celebrity goes, they either must Ian endure paparazzi and Everett screaming fans or disguise themselves so they are not recognizable. It makes one wonder: Is being a celebrity worth it? And why can’t we give them some privacy? Have you ever gone a week or so where you had absolutely no time to yourself? Humans require some alone time to meditate, rest and refresh. Celebrities have it rough in this department; they’re constantly in the public eye. We demand they entertain us — we pay them large amounts of money to do just that — and people, particularly those in our nation,

like to be entertained around the clock. I’m not saying that celebrities haven’t asked for this. They’ve strived for a career where they are in the spotlight, where their faces are blown up on big screens and where albums carrying their voices are bought by the millions. But everyone is entitled to some off time. Celebrities need privacy just like 9-to-5 workers need time off at the end of the day, so they can continue to work the next day. It is hard for a celebrity to go out on the town, and that’s understandable. People adore them and worship the ground they walk on (something I personally find to be a little strange, but hey, you pick your poison). But when we invade their homes and private lives, we are taking it way too far. It is messed up to stalk someone and harass them around their house. It is illegal — and rightly so. We hang on the stories celebrities tell us, dance to the songs they sing us and

sometimes even believe the things they believe. But if we keep demanding so much from them, we are in great danger of seeing a decline in the quality of entertainment they deliver us. I hold that this is part of the reason that Hollywood and the music of today has gone down in production quality; not just because of scheming executives, but because actors and singers are far too exhausted to put out a quality product. Celebrities do a lot to keep us entertained. Some of them break bones; some of them snap emotionally. It’s quite honestly a stressful job to be in the spotlight 24/7, all for the entertainment of a nation. The least we can do is give them some privacy and time to themselves. It’s what we would want if we were in their position. Ian Everett is a creative writing freshman and may be reached at opinion@thedailycougar. com.

Keenum uncertain about future plans Quarterback will weigh options in coming months John Brannen

THE DAILY COUGAR

www.thedailycougar.com

latest UH news?

Where do I get the

Quarterback Case Keenum said Tuesday that he is unsure if he will apply to the NCAA for a medical redshirt to play next season, or if he will take his chances in the NFL draft. Keenum is scheduled to have reconstructive surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament at 9 a.m. today, and he will mull his decisions afterward. “The fact is I don’t know,” Keenum said. “There’s a lot of unknowns now. There’s a lot of stuff I don’t know about.” Dr. Walt Lowe will perform the surgery. Lowe is the preferred orthopedic surgeon for the Texans and Rockets and is one of the most respected doctors in the country in his field. As a signal caller, Keenum was used to having most things in his control, including the pace of the offense and the plays called on the field. Now he submits control to doctors and hopes the healing process is timely. “It’s not a fun experience,” he said. “I don’t wish this on anybody. “A lot of it isn’t in my control. It’s not the senior year I wanted to have, but it’s the one I have right now, and I’ll make the best of it.” Keenum did not say what his preference was for next season, but that he has the itch to play now. “Right now, I want to be on the field. I want to be out there playing, and I can’t,” Keenum said. “Right now, I want to play for the Cougars. As far as in the future there’s no telling.” Because of concussion symptoms stemming from the previous game against UTEP, Keenum was wary when he threw an interception to UCLA linebacker Akeem Ayers in the Cougars’ 31-13 loss on Sept. 18. He said he wouldn’t have done anything different if he threw another. “When I was chasing him down, I was actually thinking about my head,” he said. “I was thinking ‘don’t dive’ because I didn’t want to get kicked in the head or anything. I thought I would arm-tackle him, but it all

happened pretty quickly.” Keenum said he has received a flurry of calls from friends and family. Among well-wishers for Keenum was Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin, who suffered a similar injury last season. “He gave me a heads up on what’s coming, how to rehab and how to come back stronger,” Keenum said. Despite being clearly disappointed, Keenum remains optimistic. He said he expects the timetable for recovery to be the average time for most ACL injuries, which is approximately six months. “It’s going to be a challenge, but I’m going to get through it stronger,” he said. “It’s going to be as quick as I can. I’m going to push the things I can push, and be careful with what I can His presence is missed on the field, but injured quarterback Case Keenum will still play an important role for the team this year.
