OPINION

Education a global concern LIFE+ARTS

Marketplace at University Dominick LeGrande grabs Crawford Jones’ leg and hangs on as he tries to scramble for yards in his first career collegiate start | Andrea Steele /The Parthenon

Bowl out of reach after final road loss The final play of the Cougars’ game against Marshall is indicative of the bumps and scrapes that has shaped their year. The Cougars have taken steps forward Christopher and backward Shelton this season — at times they have shown growth, but regression has been apparent at others. With seven seconds remaining at their own 19 yard line, redshirt senior quarterback Crawford Jones threw a

9-yard pass to junior wide receiver Dewayne Peace. Two laterals went backward to the UH 15, before redshirt freshman running back Kenneth Farrow scampered 10 yards and fumbled. When Marshall sophomore linebacker Cortez Carter recovered the ball and sealed a 44-41 victory, the Cougars’ postseason hopes were finished. At 4-7 UH can’t win the necessary six games to become bowl-eligible. Head coach Tony Levine said he was disappointed that his seniors will not reach a bowl game.

“I told the seniors ‘I’m sorry.’ This isn’t the way anybody envisioned the season going. We hope to get back home and send them out with a win next Saturday,” Levine said after the game. UH has not won a game outside of the city, and until Saturday’s contest, those games hadn’t been close. The Thundering Herd was its last opportunity to secure a victory outside of Houston. Next week UH faces Tulane at home in the final game at Robertson Stadium. The Cougars lost by 31 in Pasadena at UCLA, 30 in Dallas against

SMU and 20 in a contest with ECU. Against Marshall the Cougars exhibited progress in their 3-point loss, but still made some of the same mistakes. For the third consecutive game UH got off to a slow start. Against Tulsa, ECU and Marshall UH was down at least 17 points in the first half. This week the Cougars made the game close and they were facing more adversity. On offense, the Cougars were injured at key positions. BUMPY continues on page 5

Greater Houston Partnership awards Khator Juliet Childers Staff writer

UH President Renu Khator was honored by the Greater Houston Partnership and the Kiwanis Club of Houston as International Business Executive of the year. Presented annually for 25 years, the International Executive award recognized Khator for her global leadership that continues to make Houston the center of international business. Concentrating on innovations, business strategies and

vision, the International Executive of the year is one of GHP’s most prestigious international business awards and events, said University associate director of media relations Shawn Lindsey. “The award was completely unexpected,” Khator said. “When you look at the list of previous honorees, including former Shell Oil President John Hofmeister, Texas Medical Center President Richard Wainerdi and the late four-term KHATOR continues on page 3

Under Khator’s administration, UH graduates more than 8,000 students each year, most remain in Houston, contributing to increasing a skilled workforce. Additionally, UH has served as a magnet for scholars around the globe — enrolling more than 3,350 students from a 153 countries. “Being in Houston provides significant locational endowments,” Khator said. “We are fortunate to have relative economic prosperity,

Health care is also an important regional industry with Houston being home to the largest medical center in the world, she said. “The UH system provides a large portion of the education and research programs needed

to sustain and grow this region’s healthcare enterprise,” Khator said. “More than 50 percent of all research expenditures at UH are health related.” Khator’s honor was presented Thursday at a luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Houston, located on 1200 Louisiana St. “It was a wonderful honor and great recognition of University Houston as an international university in an international city,” Khator said. “I am especially appreciative of the continuing support of the Greater Houston Partnership — whose strong endorsement of our dive to Tier One meant so much to our achieving that prestigious designation.

LEARNING

Global education should be a priority Iman Sahnoune Staff columnist

n Oct. 9, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a gunman while on a bus on her way home from school. After undergoing brain surgery and multiple treatments, she survived and continued advocating for education and women’s rights. Malala is a 15-year-old girl from Pakistan who, at the age of 11, began writing an anonymous blog for the BBC. Schools in her region were being destroyed, and she wasn’t permitted to attend because of her gender, so she wrote about her experiences, saying “even if they come to kill me, I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong, that education is our basic right.” While Malala is the most well-known, she is only one of thousands of students around the world being left without an education. In some cases, education is eschewed because of the cost, or to work in support of one’s family. In war-ridden and oppressive regimes, going to school becomes a life and death situation. A hundred years ago in parts of the US, this backwards mentality was prevalent, and higher education was reserved solely for men; women were allowed

to become teachers or nurses at best. Alternatively, women could attend elementary school for the basics and then stop to work for their family. Fortunately, things have progressed in this country with provisions like the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and required education. The fact that it’s nearly 2013 and there are regions across the globe still stuck in that phase is

hard to conceptualize. Education is not a privilege, but a right and should be provided to all. It’s the one thing that equalizes everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status or background. It gives everyone a chance. Granted, there are varying qualities of education, but at the least, children should be provided with the fundamentals and have the chance to seek out further opportunities. There is an anonymous quote that reads “What if

the cure for cancer is trapped inside the mind of someone who can’t afford an education?” To take it one step further, it could be trapped inside the mind of a child that wants to go to school and has the means, but can’t. There’s a petition circulating around social media titled, “Take a Stand for the Girl Who Stood Up: Nominate Malala for the Nobel Peace Prize.” It has more than 185,000 signatures from people all across the world and

is gaining increased recognition. For everything she’s gone through and stands for, the award would be well-deserved for Malala. As people prepare for finals, they should remember to never take the given right to an education for granted and spare a thought to those in the world still struggling for it.

touchdown in the first half, he had two touchdowns in the third quarter and two in the fourth — finishing with a total five. He said UH couldn’t find rhythm early. “We managed to get something going midway through second quarter. We managed to keep the momentum going through the second half,” Jones said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t put a full game together and a lot of that falls on my shoulders in the first half.” More importantly, Jones led UH on two game-tying drives in the fourth quarter, putting

the team in a position to win. He led an 89-yard drive that tied the game at 38 when Jones connected with freshman wide receiver Deontay Greenberry for a 7-yard score. On the following drive, after Marshall responded with a field goal, the Cougars drove from their own 49 and tied the game again at 41. On defense they were still without senior cornerback D.J. Hayden — a leader who is out for the rest of the season with an injury — and the Cougars struggled to defend the pass and rush attack.

Marshall redshirt freshman Kevin Grooms rushed for 159 yards. Sophomore quarterback Rakeem Cato threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns and his leading receiver of the evening — sophomore Tommy Shuler — caught nine passes for 105 yards and a score. Levine’s first season has been a bumpy one, and his test for his second season is going to be smoothing out the rough and creating some consistency by becoming a better road team. sports@thedailycougar.com

Dozens of tents lined the walkway in Butler Plaza Friday, and each one boasted colorful signs and tables full of food and wares from other countries and cultures including Indian samosas and Chinese dumplings. On a campus known for its diversity, it can hardly be a surprise that events such as the International Marketplace — hosted by the Council of Ethnic Organizations — are not only filled with a variety of student groups, but are also well attended and enjoyed. Biology senior Naseem Nikooei attended the event to represent the Persian Society. “The Persian Society aims to promote our culture through Iranian community as well as spreading out to inform and involve other cultures,” she said. The Persian Society was led to participate in the event through a reference from a previous officer. “We’ve participated in this event before,” said Nikooei, “So of

again.” Bu s i n e s s f re s h m a n Tu ye t Nguyen found the market particularly enjoyable. “I love the booths, especially the Korean ones,” he said. “I’m getting a chance to see some things that I missed out on at the Korean festival this year.” Students also commented on the variety and affordability of the marketplace — there was no entrance or participation fee, and diverse foods were affordable. There were many smaller items priced at less than a dollar, which allowed students to try items from several different stations. CEO is an umbrella organization that heads clubs such as the Lebanese Student Organization and the Hindu Students Association. Its goal is to “create extravagant events so that the University of Houston’s students can get a true cultural experience,” according to its website.

Some of CEO’s other programs include cooking lessons with international recipes, talent showcases and guest lecturers who discuss diversity and the struggles that accompany it. Jimmy Mai, CEO’s cultural programming chair, was the main organizer for the International Marketplace. “My job is to come up with programs year round such as the Marketplace, which is mostly geared toward food from other cultures,” Mai said. “We’ve been working on organizing this since the summer, from contacting our member organizations to actually getting them signed up and ready to go. The only problem we encountered this year was just the time crunch as the date of the Marketplace approached, but we pulled it off without a hitch.” A few organizations that are not culture specific were also present, including the Partnership for the Advancement and Immersion of Refugees and Study Abroad. CEO also gave away free T-shirts at the event. arts@thedailycougar.com
