Three weeks removed from a campus shooting in Victoria, UH Police Chief Malcolm Davis dis-cussed campus security measures and rebuffed the idea that campus carry laws would effectively protect or harm students in a classroom appear-ance on Oct. 10.

Following the Sept. 30 publication of the 2010 Campus Security and Fire Safety Report, the police chief was immediately asked how safe stu-dents should feel and what UH police are doing to protect the University during his visit to David McHam’s Advanced Writing and Reporting class.

“It’s not so much that there are more shoot-ings; they’re just more horrifi c in terms of mul-tiple people getting hurt,” Davis said. “There’s a different mindset to it now.

“There’s also much more awareness of it now. I don’t think the risks to you personally are any greater than they’ve ever been.”

The shooting at Victoria College on Sept. 21 was the latest in the state’s seven school shooting incidents since 1966.

Davis referred to an alert training program required by offi cers as steps that UH police have

taken to train for crisis situations and keep stu-dents safe.

The police chief, also a UH alumnus, said that mental preparation is paramount if students fi nd themselves in a situation where a student is fi ring shots on campus.

While the old philosophy was to hide and hope the gunman doesn’t fi nd you, Davis said, the modern school of thought is to attempt to distract and disarm the gunman if he enters a classroom.

When asked if SB 354 — the bill proposed to the Texas Senate allowing guns on state campuses — would be an effective deterrent of campus shooting violence, Davis said that he’s more concerned with untrained students wielding guns than the threat of increased school shootings.

“It’s not that it’s a bad idea,” Davis said. “I dis-agree with the folks that say shootings are going to be rampant (because of it).

“It will make things more complicated, but it’s a complicated world.”

Davis also discussed the details of last year’s crime report and the perception of campus safety among students.

The 2010 report refl ected decreases in bur-glary, forcible sex offenses and weapon violations from 2009. Davis said he enjoyed seeing statistical improvements in the report.

“I’m always happy when numbers go down,” Davis said. “We’re always happy when what we’re doing is working.”

The 2010 report also shows an increase of drug and liquor law violations, and a slight increase in motor vehicle theft.

The police chief said these numbers are a natural result of the infl ux of students enrolling and living on campus in 2009.

Despite the improved security measures and positive crime report statistics, UH police continue to fi ght a safety perception battle with students.

StudentsReview.com rates “perceived campus safety” at UH at around a C average, with several comments referring to the campus and the sur-rounding area as unsafe and “ghetto.”

“Crime has never been as bad on campus, since I’ve been here, (as) people would tell you it is,” Davis said. “It’s a game of perception.

“If we have only one robbery this year and you’re that person, then this place is a hellhole to you, but to the rest of us it was a good year.”

The UH Department of Public Safety is cur-rently accepting applications for a new police chief, who will take over Davis’ day-to-day operations.

Davis, who concurrently serves as assistant vice president for public safety and security, will act solely as vice president following the appoint-ment of a new chief, effectively splitting the grow-ing administrative duties in two.

GOLF

Bethel GlumacTHE DAILY COUGAR

Senior Giorgia Pozzan led the Cougars through another success-ful outing, capturing her second consecutive singles title in tour-nament play at the Robert Alison Classic hosted by the University of Alabama over the weekend.

Pozzan defeated Lindsey Mallory of Samford 7-5, 6-2, and Mississippi State’s Olesya Tsigvint-seva in straight sets before taking out Elja van Berlo of Southern Miss.

“The first day, it wasn’t typical Giorgia,” head coach John Sever-ance said. “She wasn’t playing at her best and she knew it. She got through it — she obviously gutted out two wins.

“And Saturday was totally different — typical Giorgia — she came through quite easily.”

Pozzan opened the season with

a win at the SDSU Fall Classic and is now a perfect 6-0 in singles play.

Severance said that the senior has worked hard to improve her discipline and focus during matches.

“We’ve been working on her mental game and that’s paid off,” Severance said.

Pozzan also teamed with junior Bryony Hunter in doubles play, earning two wins and the consola-tion title for their bracket.

“Bryony played well this week in doubles,” Severance said. “And

Charlotte (Phillips) is starting to put things together and rack up some wins.”

Phillips, a freshman, improved to 3-3 for the year after defeating Jill Furlong of West Alabama (6-3, 6-1) to claim the consolation title for her bracket.

After facing challenging oppo-nents at the SDSU Fall Classic, junior Maja Kazimieruk hoped to rebound but was forced to with-draw during the second set of her first match on Saturday.

“I think Maja’s had a string of tough luck,” Severance said.

“She’s lost to two nationally ranked singles players. And then she won the first set of her last match but had to withdraw. She’s played quite well, but the results haven’t showed.”

The Cougars will be back in action Friday for the five-day ITA Regional in Fort Worth.

The Cougars will follow that with their first homestand of the season with the Cougar Fall Draw running from Nov. 4-6 at the John E. Hoff Courts.

The Augie Busch era is off to a strong start after UH swept its opening weekend of competition in Boston.

The Cougars defeated Boston University by 29 points Friday, and took down Boston College (231-69) and Northeastern (159-132) in a tri-dual meet.

“The girls showed a lot of fight,” Busch said.

“I’m real proud of them. They got some really good sprint strokes.”

The Cougars trailed the Ter-riers for most of the meet, but pulled ahead after the 1-meter dive results were posted.

Junior Julia Lonnegren led the divers with first-place finishes in the 1M and 3M against BU, with freshmen Torri Olanski and Natasha Burgess placing second and third.

Diving coach Jane Figueiredo was pleased with her squad’s performance.

“It was absolutely fantastic,” she said. “They competed very well. There were two freshmen who did a really good job.”

This was repeated against Bos-ton College and Northeastern.

The Cougars performed well again in free-style events on Saturday.

Sophomore Heather Winn won the 500-yard and 1,000-yard events, while Kim Eeson took the 50-yard free style (24.91).

In the last relay, UH outscored Boston College by 9 points and Northeastern by 5, to the satisfac-tion of coach Busch.

“I’m real proud of how these girls fought again,” he said. “I’m real excited to see them battle against Miami for our first home meet.

“I hope we can continue to see improvement.”

The Cougars will face the Hurricanes at 5 p.m. Friday at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center natatorium.

SOCCER

Cougars back in the hunt

Joachim ClarkeTHE DAILY COUGAR

The Cougars snapped a four-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over Southern Miss Friday, and pushed No. 23 to a 0-0 double-overtime tie Sunday at Robertson Stadium.

Head coach Susan Bush was pleased with UH’s (5-10-1, 2-5-1 Conference USA) ability to bounce back. She stressed that effort was key in the victory.

“The team came out with a totally new perspective,” Bush said. “We broke the game down into smaller goals and pieces, and they achieved them. Every single person on the team contributed today.”

Against the Golden Eagles (3-9-3, 1-5-2), UH broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute off a free kick by sophomore midfi elder Jasmine Martinez. Sharis Lachappelle played the ball with a soft touch to Martine, who quickly drilled the ball past the defending wall and into the top left corner for her second goal of the season.

Lachappelle got in on the action again in the second half when senior defender Stephanie Derieg crossed the ball into a crowded box. As the ball sailed toward the touch line, junior forward Katelyn Rhodes kept play alive with a header that found Lachappelle in the middle of the box. The freshman made no mistake putting the ball to the back of the net.

“It feels unbelievable,” Lachap-pelle said. “Today on the fi eld we were really positive with each other and communicated well and I think that was the difference.”

Recovering from a concussion, starting goalkeeper Cami Koski sat out the match. Sydney George started in her place and recorded her fi rst career shutout.

“We worked hard and we deserve the win,” George said.

The Cougars impressed in their tie against the Knights (9-2-5, 4-1-3 C-USA), who entered the match on a six-game win streak.

It was the fi rst time this season that the Cougars defeated a ranked opponent.

With three games remaining, UH sits in ninth place in C-USA — but tied with UAB for the fi nal conference tournament spot.

STAFF EDITORIAL

W hen the Occupy movement started out, it was focused on banks and Wall Street

executives. It has now morphed into a class-focused movement that char-acterizes anyone who is not in the “99 percent” as someone who has exploited the system.

This is far from the truth. It is safe to say that the majority of the people who comprise the one percent worked hard to gain their wealth.

Although certain unfair policies may have made it easier for some of these people to accumulate their wealth, they were not the ones who created those policies.

The “99 percent” may look good on a poster, but it loses its appeal when you remove it from that piece of paper.

And while it may sound ridiculous to most people to defend the one percent, since “99 percent” sounds so inclusive, the majority of the one percent are far from jet-setting multi-millionaires. According to the IRS, someone qualifi es for the top 1 percent if they make $380,354 a year.

People who are on the low end of the top 1 per-cent are top-ranking lawyers, engineers, doctors and small business owners.

While they make a lot of money, they are not the corporate fat-cats most people in the Occupy move-ment assume them to be. There is a big difference between someone who make $380,354 a year and someone who makes several millions of dollars a year. People in the Occupy movement need to inter-nalize this distinction.

The Occupy movement has the potential to make serious change, but only if it stops alienating people who worked hard for their money. The movement would like to tell all people who are wealthy that they should be ashamed of their money, money that they undoubtedly worked very hard to accumulate.

Under the “99 percent” banner, the Occupy move-ment has lost its focus. They should stop attacking anyone who is in the 1 percent and start attacking the bankers, Wall Street executives and politicians who are responsible for the income disparity.

The Occupy movement has lost its focus

I f all the world’s a stage,then Wash-ington D.C., is Broadway. Like actors, politicians play a constant game of

tug-of-war between who they are, who they’re supposed to be and who they believe they can become. But few obtain triple threat status.

Whether chosen for their accolades or their stage personas, some of the GOP presidential candidates who are less likely to get the nomination more accurately represent the various factions of our nation. But the job of these political

actors is to make you forget this common background. The political sytem would like to see them morph into Conservative caricatures.

Michele Bachmann, who, after a promising start is now trailing in the polls, describes herself as a full-time mother, creationist and global warming skeptic. Mentioned more for infamy than conten-tion, Bachmann can be disagreeable, but her verbal seizures aren’t reason enough to disregard her — she’s a classy lady. A Tea Party enthusiast, she’s said time and time again that Americans deserve all of the facts when it comes to the government’s decisions. This might stem from her roots as a family woman, or possibly even her heavy affi liations with the church, but in the end, Bachmann leaves few outlets open to question. Unless, of course, they confl ict

with her own.When Newt Gingrich was 19, he married

his 26-year-old geography teacher, only to divorce her later over an affair with a woman 23 years his junior, whom he would later divorce following yet another affair. Gingrich has obviously had his share of

excitement preceding the primary. What separates him from his contempo-

raries is a heavily varied experience and an appreciation for history that borders on the obsessive.

But what’s wrong with that? The man once cited his personal adventures as being driven by his passion for the country. If this is true, the American public could expect his full attention in offi ce — at least until something else comes along.

As the technocrat of the group, Jon Huntsman appears most at ease out of the limelight. He’s Mormon, with an Episcopalian wife and an adopted Indian daughter; among his Republican

counterparts, it’s arguable he’s the most progressive.

Before he had any political ambi-tions, Huntsman manned keyboards for “Wizard,” an underground rock band. The mentality stuck, as he was spotted amidst the pro-democracy demonstrations in China this past year, dressed as casually as the rioters on his left and right. Still, his demeanor was as unassuming in the streets as it had been on the stage. His response: “I’m just here to watch.”

Who we are can be miles away from who we intend to be, but the only person who can cover the distance is ourselves. It’s a discrepancy most politicos are aware of, and they combat it with the only means available to them: discretion in some areas, condolences in others and indecision everywhere else. Even with the most heartfelt attempts in this area, success isn’t likely for these political candidates. But shouldn’t these politicians just embrace their backgrounds?

Whittled photos will surface as the race progresses, forgotten acquaintances will impart wisdom on the media and reli-gious doctrines will evolve from private concerns to public disclosure.

Can these performers be blamed for dancing on the stages built for them? After all, when the ballot arrives, the facts as they exist are hardly as important as the ones you actually know.

C onservative candidates tout deregulation as desirable: Fewer burdens on businesses will foster

growth and create jobs, whereas federal and state regulations are unnecessary impediments that put people out of work for no reason. The target audience is often

small business owners. Has this myth been examined by the party?

Recent government data on unemployment during the recession sug-gests that it holds some truth,

but not nearly as much as Republicans claim. CNN reported that in the fi rst half of 2011, only 2,085 unemployed people cited government regulation as the culprit. Over 55,000 lost jobs were attributed to insuffi cient demand. The National Federation of Independent Business claimed that less than 20 percent of small businesses cited regulation as their most important problem. Once again, demand was key.

Some jobs are lost due to regulation, but it is not the devilish economy killer that Republicans say it is. Gary Burtless of the Brookings Institute agreed that little evidence supports that notion. Only a couple of the team of 16 economists from CNN Money seriously complained about regulations.

Enbridge CEO Pat Daniel, who works in North American energy transportation, praised new crude fi nds in Canada. Why?

The country has the social consciousness, technical competence and regulatory infrastructure for responsible development. Daniel supports a new bill in the Senate that would place more regulations on the pipeline industry, including increasing inspections and creating new guidelines for infrastructure updating.

Candidates also ignore ways that busi-nesses are increasingly protected by tort reform bills (including Texas businesses: Perry crowns this as a fi ne achievement). States have been enacting these bills in order to reign in supposedly out-of-control

litigation. They often place monetary limits on damages awards, joint and several liability, and venue choice, restrict the time frame consumers can bring lawsuits, make government agency approval suffi cient to bar suit and mandate additional pretrial screenings. That means that someone who is hurt by a product has less time to initiate a lawsuit and faces a multiple gatekeepers. The producer faces much less threatening payments if the plaintiff is successful, and these rules make slim chances of success even slimmer.

Basically, regulating hurt consumers’ methods for recourse is fi ne, but regulating businesses’ ability to shirk responsibilities is

a heinous act of anti-patriotism. Arguments against regulation seem

backwards, or at least lacking. Bart Chilton, a commissioner on the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, told the New York Times that he is confi dent that new Dodd-Frank regulations will actually spur growth. Mandates create jobs in the fi nancial sector, adding accountants and other internal controls. EPA emissions regulations or taxes would create incentives for investment and job creation in research and development.

Another unfortunate fl ip side is that tort reforms regulate problems after they have occurred, when regulations could have prevented those problems in the fi rst place. That would decrease the need for litigation; so deregulation may be the problem that Republicans are trying to fi x on a differ-

ent front. Plus, what are a few thousand jobs when considering the good done by meat inspection, prevention of nuclear radiation accidents and adequate disclosure of infor-mation on products such as cigarettes and prescription drugs?

We cannot know precisely how regula-tion affects the economy, and politicians are doing a horrible job pretending that they can. Economic debates should focus less on which governor created the most jobs and more on realistic balancing of interests.

Jorge PorrasTHE DAILY COUGAR

Whether it walks on four hoofed legs, has wings or slithers on the ground, I will probably try it at least once — and I am noth-ing short of a true carnivore.

When I come across places like Sammy’s Wild Game Grill that serves up wild game and other non-traditional sources of protein, I have to check it out.

The restaurant is headed up by chef Sammy Ballarin, a self-taught Spanish chef who turned his pas-sion for food into a thriving bar and grill that takes ingredients most people would never think of eating and puts them into familiar settings like burgers or chili cheese fries.

Stacking his menu with meats ranging from antelope to rattlesnake, this is clearly not your average burger joint.

I had to go for the rattlesnake chili fries, a pile of fries doused in a blanket of saucy beans and rattlesnake chili which is then topped with melted cheddar cheese.

To my surprise, there was no distinct texture or fl avor that

makes the snake meat seem negative — if anything, it was very tender and light.

Dishes like this are great, because they show people that there are alternative options for making your favorite dishes with-out having to sacrifi ce quality.

I moved onto the trio of game sliders — buffalo, antelope and venison — all of which were built the same way. The defi ning aspect would have to be the consistency and juiciness of the patties themselves.

The buffalo is essentially beef’s second cousin. There’s a slight difference in taste, but all the same bite and consistency. The antelope and venison are much leaner meats, but they still refuse to disappoint when it comes to fl avor.

A word of caution — do not order these burgers without get-ting all of the sauces they make in-house. Some of these sauces are cilantro aioli, Cajun remou-lade, habañero ketchup and Ahi mayonnaise.

It’s almost like asking a parent to choose their favorite child when it comes to singling out the sauces — each one brings their

own distinct fl avor profi le to the pallet.

The ketchup gives you an extra kick of spice and sweetness, the remoulade goes great on just about anything that is fried and the aioli gives you a burst of fresh cilantro and garlic and the mayon-naise gives you a hint of heat and tangy creaminess.

Pick any of these sauces and you will be scraping the sides to get every last drop.

For those who like spice, you must try Sammy’s Ghost Chili Pepper Sauce. Made in-house, the pepper sauce uses a mix of dried ghost chilis and a special blend of seasonings that give it a delicious kick in the mouth. In fact, the sauce has become such a hit with locals, Sammy is planning to start selling it by the bottle.

Sammy’s is open until 10 p.m. on Sunday and Monday nights. During the week they close at 11 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday nights, they close at 3 a.m.

For those of you bar hopping near Washington and Yale, be sure to stop by for some tasty game eats.

S aturday is the day we’ve all been waiting for — the Cougars are taking on the Thundering Herd. This is a big week for us,

too. If we come out on top in this week’s game, we’ll be 7-0 and we’re already No. 19 in the BCS standings — and those numbers can only go up. You are the pride, Coogs, and this is the best week to show it. Wear red, throw up your Cougar Paw and go to Homecoming events on campus. Here are 10 songs to add to your excitement this week.

RECREPORTDEPARTMENT OF CAMPUS RECREATION SPOTLIGHT

This weekend was the third annual Houston HoDown: a two day Ultimate Frisbee tournament hosted by

UH’s Ultimate Frisbee Sports Club at HASP (Houston Amateur Sports Park). This weekend 14 college teams from universities like UT, A&M, Rice, Trinity, Sam Houston, and Baylor battled it out for supremacy at the biggest college tournament in Houston.

Skyline ( UH’s Ultimate Frisbee Sports Club) for the first time in its 6 year history sent two full teams to a tournament. Truly showing how much the club has grown in the past year. Sky-line X, with a veteran heavy roster, represented this weekend by going 3-1 on Saturday. Most notably Skyline X beat our rival Rice 13-5 in our last game of the day. Skyline Y with a freshman heavy roster augmented by help from Houston’s very own super club SCU (Space City Ultimate) came out of the weekend with two solid wins and valuable experience. For most of Skyline Y this was there first tournament.

Curious about Ultimate? We’re still accepting new club mem-bers! No experience required. Come out to our practices Mon 3-5 & Wed 5-7 at the bowl field behind the rec center.
