Vice President of Advancement Eloise Stuhr announced to faculty and staff that the UH Alumni Asso-ciation, which previously operated as an independent organization,

wil l now be transitioning to a Univer-sity-affiliated program.

Stuhr, along with President Renu Khator, said she hopes this transition

will allow the UHAA to better serve graduates, students and the University.

“Moving forward, this new relationship will enable us to bet-ter serve alumni with stronger national networks and meaningful programs, including new volunteer roles and educational opportuni-ties to enhance career placement and admissions,” Stuhr said.

“As our graduates succeed in their careers, many rise to posi-tions that enable them to hire our talented students as interns or as salaried employees. Many other graduates serve as mentors for our students, further enhancing the ties between our current students and alumni.”

Previously, only 21 alumni asso-ciations in the country operated as independent organizations,

including Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and UH, UHAA President Mike Pede said, but this collaboration will help to streamline commu-

nication and c o m b i n e effi ciencies.

The change will give the UHAA access to alumni data, UH offi ces and r e s o u r c e s , w h i c h w i l l

help the association focus more on alumni relations such as career services, mentoring students, stu-dent recruitment and growing the UH alumni network across the U.S. It will specifi cally be targeting the

15 cities where more than 1,000 alumni live.

“The main goal is that we essen-tially engage a little over 100,000 graduates every year with our pro-grams, and we’re trying to double that number,” Pede said. “And to do that, you have to be out of the business of just trying to make the bottom line. The long story short is we have spent 70 percent of our time generating 30 percent of our revenue.”

This transition from indepen-dent to interdependent is set to begin Sept. 1 at the end of the fi scal year. UHAA will remain a nonprofi t corporation with an independent

With almost every seat fi lled in the audience, the 49th Student Gov-ernment Association Senate went out with a bang Wednesday at its fi nal meeting.

SGA President Cedric Bandoh announced SGA will move for-ward in searching for Higher One replacement.

A Transparency within Graduate

Courses Bill passed with one opposi-tion: the passage of this bill will make it required for UH to provide gradu-ate students with a syllabus and curriculum to help them choose the best teacher for their needs.

The bill to limit summer sen-ate powers did not pass. Some of the argument for the bill’s passing included a comment from econom-ics sophomore Eduardo Reyes, who said committees cannot meet

without a senate in session so they will be unprepared in the fall.

Among bills discussed was the Administration and Finance Com-mittee’s University Bill to Improve Parking Lot Way Finding, authored by Bandoh; however, a vote did not go through as the Senate chose to table this bill.

“This bill aims to rename major-ity of our signage, in particular our parking lot signs,” said SGA Vice

President-Elect Rani Ramchandani, a supply chain management junior and chair of administration and fi nance. “Can you honestly tell me where Lot 19A is located? Well it just so happens to be the Melcher/Bauer Parking Lot.”

“My committee and I strongly believe that this bill will help faculty, students and visitors to navigate the

Who should decide on marriage equality: national or state governments?

Gay marriage rights remain a state’s decision, but since a Californian case has been selected to be reviewed this week by the Supreme Court, people have been questioning whose call it is. We asked students which governmen-tal body should make the call in the marriage equality debate. Here are their responses:

— Quotes and photos compiled by Channler K. Hill

I think it should be a state decision because that’s not something the federal government should be involved in. It should vary state-by-state. It’s not the federal government’s jurisdiction to decide states’ rights.

— Kodi Wright, construction management senior

A:

I think the national government should be in charge of deciding

gay marriage rights. The entire country should have a uniform decision on it. I personally support it, and I think that other people have no right to say that people can’t be together. To have it nationally, we won’t have a problem from people in one state with another state.

— Henry Cao, pharmacy sophomore

A:

I think it shouldn’t be allowed period. That’s how I was raised. I was religious, and my mom taught

me marriage is between a woman and a man.

— Victor Ortiz, mechanical engineering sophomore

A:

Q:

From what I’ve heard, the ruling should go to the people and so-ciety should decide its own direction. I think that’s a good idea.

I know some states are more progressive than others. I’m for gay mar-riage. I don’t think any religion or other ideas should influence that. I’m mixed on whether it’s a state or federal issue. I’m hopeful that in the next couple of years, all the states come together to make a decision.

MAN ON THE STREET

Director of Student Housing and Residential Life Don Yackley received a report about a room with discoloration in the bathroom that appeared to be mildew and mold. Upon notification, housing inspected all rooms in the Quad-rangle area.

“We had a few rooms in each building that had some mildew and mold growth. We contracted with a company to have these specific rooms professionally cleaned, painted when necessary and tested,” Yackley said.

“Some residents had to be put in temporary rooms for a few days. All rooms have been taken care of, and all residents are back in their rooms. There are no outstanding issues.”

Civil engineering freshman Jonathon Dreith, who lives in Taub Hall was aware of the mold, mainly after hearing it from other students living in the Quads.

Dreith said if it had happened to him, he would have been annoyed but is more willing to forgive UH because of how quickly the problem was resolved.

“I figure it’s kind of expected because they are the oldest dorms, but the University could have taken better care of the Quads,” Dreith said.

Chemical engineering junior Paola Garcia-Agreda who lives in Settegast Hall was unaware of the problem because she went home during the break.

Garcia-Agreda said she couldn’t imagine having mold in her room. She tries to clean her dorm as often as she can to prohibit dirt and mold growth.

“It makes me feel a little grossed out knowing that there was a mold outbreak in the building I live in,” Garcia-Agreda said.

“When I think of mold, I usu-ally picture something decaying and forming a green-like fuzzy texture. It’s definitely something you’d want to avoid.”

It was a Saturday night in Steubenville, Ohio. Trent Mays, 17, Ma’lik Richmond,

16, a 16-year-old girl and many other under-age youths were drinking the night away.

Mays, Richmond and

the girl attended three parties the night of Aug. 12, two of which she had no recollection of being at the next morning. During the course of the last two parties, she was reported to have been vomiting and intensely inebriated. Compromising photos were taken of Mays and Richmond lifting her — Mays with her arms and

Richmond with her feet — out of the house. During a drive to the third house party, Mays asked another friend to take a video of him penetrating an unresponsive victim with his fi ngers. According to Ohio state law, Mays had just committed rape. At the third party, a witness reports that he walked into the basement of the party to see Mays and Richmond kneeled over a naked and unmoving victim while penetrating her with their fi ngers. Mays then is said to have taken multiple nude pictures of her while she was unconscious and exposed.

During the next few days, teenagers were tweeting, texting and posting photos and videos on Instagram of her before and

during the raping while using such words as “whore” and “slut” and saying she was asking for it.

The risk the victim took during these parties put her in a very compromising position. Her mother and she took the photographic evidence to the police during the leakage of these humiliating and degrading photos to press charges against Mays and Richmond for rape and distribu-tion of exposing photos.

People’s reactions after hearing that these two young men were star football players changed everything. Instead of just presenting the young men as violators, the media paid attention

UH’s Center for Student Media to present new opportunities

The Daily Cougar, Student Video Network and Coog Radio have worked to

bring you the news and features that are fi t to print, watch and hear, and we have been doing so while providing our own product with little or no col-laboration with the other media organizations.

That is about to change.By Sept. 1, the three student

media organizations will merge under the Center for Student Media and open new doors for the way media is produced and presented on campus. Soon after, CSM will move into the new Student Media wing of the new University Center North.

While the CSM will bring the organizations together, they will maintain separate product identities and internal structures. Matt Dulin, director of Student Publications, said all three orga-nizations will benefi t from the collaboration.

“Right now, The Daily Cougar needs help with video,” Dulin said. “SVN could provide support to that until The Daily Cougar is confi dent enough to have its own video and could go out and do it on its own. On the other side, Coog Radio wants to get their blog going and have music reviews and local culture stories. They want to have their own style of journalism, and The Daily Cougar knows about that, and people who work for the Cougar may be interested in that.”

At the Cougar, we are excited about the opportunities this will provide and are eager to begin collaborating with our future partners.

For starters, the advertising functions Student Publications provides to the Cougar will also be provided to SVN and Coog Radio, allowing both organiza-tions to obtain additional funds

to further their growth.Coog Radio’s station director,

Clinton Blankenship, said he sees advertising as a means for Coog Radio to grow and gain professional experience.

“We are currently only funded from student fees,” he said. “This could lead us to a model very similar to The Daily Cougar with advertising, which could free us a bit. It would also give students real-world experience, as adver-tising is a common necessity in the professional world.

“Coog Radio has steadily grown since our debut. CSM will allow for more exposure and collaboration from fellow media groups.”

Exposure is something SVN President Ali Iqbal said he hopes to gain from the transition.

“SVN hopes to gain better rec-ognition on campus as a result of the merger,” Iqbal said. “Cur-rently, as a part of CSI (Center for Student Involvement), SVN is overshadowed by special event programming organizations like SPB (Student Program Board) and Frontier Fiesta. Being a part of the Center for Student Media would help shed more light on SVN’s functions and workings as the UH TV station.”

As for the Cougar, we are excited at the prospect of work-ing with SVN and Coog Radio to develop our own multimedia products to package with our print content, providing readers with a number of ways to experi-ence the brand of news and entertainment we’ve provided as we look to increase our digital presence.

When the Student Media wing opens, the three organizations will be working as neighbors and partners. We will still be individual organizations, but we’ll be more capable of working together to bring a new brand of media to UH.

to the personal lives of Mays and Richmond. Instead of portraying them as young men who took advantage of a girl who was too drunk to consent while also aid-ing in the distribution of naked photos — which could also be construed as child pornography — Mays and Richmond are portrayed as smart, likeable football stars who could even be considered role models. The media consis-tently focused on their promising futures instead of the emotional, mental and physical damage they infl icted on the victim.

On March 17, Mays and Richmond were found guilty and sentenced to juvenile detention. Mays will serve two years for rape and distribution of naked photos, while Richmond will serve one year for rape. Both will register as sex offenders. Reporters at the scene told news anchors the ver-dict and what that would mean.

“It was incredibly emotional, incredibly diffi cult even for an outsider like me to watch what happened as these two young men that had such promising futures

— star football players, very good students. We literally watched as they believed their life fell apart,” said CNN reporter Poppy Harlow.

CNN’s Candy Crowley described how painful it was to witness Richmond break down in tears after he apologized to the victim’s mother and her in court, and after all that, Crowley said it must be hard for the victims also.

Doe’s attorney, Bob Fitzsim-mons, said watching Mays’ and Richmond’s reactions to the verdict was hard and that he can feel for them.

Though this confession is nothing compared to the waves of support the young men received from parts of the community and the Internet, it is still unsettling to hear from the prosecutor’s attorney.

Since a large amount of evi-dence for this case was gathered from social media sites, there has been more focus on fi ltering what we place on the Internet rather than how the victim is holding up. The emotional toll rape can have on a victim is massive, but because this trail was so public and visual with videos and images, the effect on the victim can some-times be more detrimental.

The blatant disrespect for another human being and the lack of morals in this case is astounding.

Some members of the public attempt to make this case one of appearances, and focus is turned to the kind of people Mays and Richmond appear to be to the public and the fans that watch them play every Friday. Those who are sympathizing with the two young men need to realize that either drunk or sober, they should have realized that if the girl is unable to consent to a sexual act, it’s rape.

“By the time you’re 16 and 17 years old, you know what’s right and wrong, and watching a gang rape happen while the girl is passed out is not okay. It’s like watching someone get hit by a car and not calling an ambulance,” biology junior Iyaesha Simmons said.

One can only hope that the future will be a time where the fear of something like this happening to you or to someone you know is obsolete.

The History Channel’s “The Bible” is one of the hottest mini-series on TV

and it has sparked a controversy that stems from one of the actors

resembling President Barack Obama. It comes as no surprise when you fi nd who is behind the curtains. Mark Burnett, the creator of

“Survivor,” has the Midas touch because almost every show he touches turns to gold — with the glaring exception of Sarah Palin’s short run at a reality show, of course.

In order to have even caused this stir, it had to have been watched by many. The History Channel is reveling in the amount of ratings the series has garnered. On the night it premiered, Entertainment Weekly reports the series got up to 1.3 million viewers. Not bad, considering the negative reviews it received from

TV critics.Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni

plays the role of Satan, and his striking similarities with Obama caused quite a buzz. However, the resemblance is much ado about nothing. Yes, they do look similar at a certain angle and light, but it is more of coinci-dence than a commentary on the nation’s president.

For one, Burnett is supportive of Obama. Campaignmoney.com, a site that allows you to search political contributions, shows he has consistently donated money to Democrats since 2001. Specifi cally, the site reports that he donated to Obama’s election campaign in 2008.

“It looks like a very old Obama. Like it could be from ‘Star Wars,’” said chemistry senior Irma Salinas. “I think it’s just a coincidence.”

According to The Huffi ngton Post, Burnett and his wife, Roma Downey, released a statement to address the issue.

“This is utter nonsense. The

actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzanni, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor,” Burnett said. “He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics — includ-ing Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our president.”

Downey took offense with the comparisons, accusing them of taking away from the show.

“Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love our presi-dent, who is a fellow Christian,” Downey said. “False statements such as these are just designed

as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of the Bible.”

The History Channel also released the following statement:

“History channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It’s unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. History’s ‘The Bible’ is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history.”

According to his IMDB profi le, Ouazanni has indeed played various roles in other faith-based movies. Burnett and Downey cast the series with diverse and multinational actors. Ouazanni’s resemblance to the president says more about our nation’s rich culture and melting pot than the producers trying to portray Obama in a bad light.

Students on energy-related career tracks may want to make room in next semester’s schedule for UH’s new energy minor.

The energy minor corresponds to the creation of UH Energy, a group of top energy research and e d u c a t i o n programs led by Ramanan Krishnamoorti, special assistant to the president and chancellor for UH Energy.

As UH pushes toward becoming a dominant player in energy education, the need for sustainable energy edu-cation grows, Krishnamoorti said.

“If we’re going to use energy in an unsustainable way, I think we’re going to be doing the entire society a disservice. Sustainability has to become a part of the conversation,” Krishnamoorti said.

“In that sense, what I’m suggesting is that we have a discussion not just about energy, but about energy in a sustainable way.”

The introductory course for the minor is being taught by two profes-sors, Joseph Pratt, professor of busi-ness and history, and Ognjen Miljanic, assistant professor of chemistry, and will be housed in the C.T. Bauer Col-lege of Business.

The course was advertised around campus and gathered to it a heteroge-neous group of students despite the class designation.

“It is fun as a teacher to have dif-ferent students discuss this with one another,” Pratt said. “This is a lively class; there is quite a bit of discussion. The engineers, the business majors, the economics majors, a Chinese studies major, everybody knows a little bit of a different part of the puzzle, so the discussion gets very interesting.”

“It’s kind of exciting. The enthusi-asm of students has been contagious. The idea that we’re doing this at UH is very appropriate. I’ve been here a long time, and this is the place this course should be.”

Because of its interdisciplinary nature, the minor plans to move to the Honors College, Krishnamoorti said, but it will still be available to all UH students.

Issues addressed in the course can

be applied to many fi elds, showing the global signifi cance of energy, Pratt said.

“The minor should provide a breadth of knowledge to students who are interested in jobs in energy and sustainability, green jobs as well as oil and gas jobs. It also is a good kind of citizenship training. These are big issues,” Pratt said.

“They’re going to stay big not just in Houston but in the whole world for generations. The kind of energy we use, the degree to which certain paths in the future are sustainability, the idea that energy use and global environment are interconnected, those are big ideas.”

The minor has been seriously planned since only Spring 2012, Pratt said, but the idea of streamlining the different energy courses and student organizations across campus has been in the works for several years.

The collaborative efforts of the different colleges is one of the better parts of the program, Krishnamoorti said. It allows for different points of view to the same wide-reaching sub-ject to be heard.

“Now not only are you going to talk to people who think interdisci-plinary, but you have to think in a interdisciplinary way,” Krishnamoorti said. “You have to start to appreciate all the different sides.”

The Cougars will return all of their wide receiver starters from last season – a luxury they didn’t possess last season.

Following the 2011-12 season — a year in which his receivers

accumulated 63 percent of the offense — the Cougars replaced four seniors at wide receiver with inexperienced players.

Last year, sophomore wide receiv-ers Deontay Greenberry andLarry McDuffey contributed as freshmen. Greenberry had 47 catches for 569

yards while McDuffey had 28 catches for 382 yards. Both started several games.

Levine said senior wide receiver Shane Ros, who was primarily a spe-cial teams player before last season, is coming into his own. Ros played special team’s and wide-out for the

Cougars last year. He had a total of 15 special teams tackles and caught 23 balls for four touchdowns on 337 yards receiving.

“We had him at safety when he fi rst got here, played a little wild-cat quarterback, and right now, it’s good to see how comfortable he is going

into his second year as an extensive wide receiver,” Levine said.

Ros said he is humbled to be in the position and is doing whatever he has to do in order for the team to win. He received a scholarship this season

Alabama only needed two swings to defeat the Cougars 6-3 in front of a sold-out crowd.

Two two-run homers by junior pitcher Jackie Traina sealed the Cougars’ fate.

The Cougars hosted No. 4 Ala-bama, the defending NCAA Champi-ons, in a non-conference match-up in front of a record breaking crowd of 1,793 at Cougar Softball Stadium. Hot off a three-game series sweep of East Carolina, the Cougars came into the game having won 10 of the past 12 games.

“When big things and big people come in, the community really does a great job and comes out to support us,” said head coach Kyla Holas.

Alabama will help the team.“It was really big deal, especially

to have a sale out,” Watts said. “I think it was good for us to play a team like that. It’s good to have to step and learn how to play a differ-ent game.”

Alabama started the game with a three-run fi rst inning, highlighted with a two-run home run to left fi eld by Traina.

The Cougars quickly responded with a run of their own in the bot-tom of the fi rst.

Junior infi elder Kendra Cullum got to fi rst after being hit by a pitch, which tied a UH record for hit-by-pitches (31). After a couple of walks, the bases were loaded for sopho-more infi elder Kayla Holland. She hit a ball down the third base line, bringing Cullum home and inching the Cougars closer.

UH added two more runs in the bottom of the second after loading

the bases again. Alabama topped off the night with another two-run home run by Traina in the top of the seventh, which extended the Alabama lead by three.

“I thought we came out really excited, and we were really pre-pared,” said senior infi elder Holly Anderson. “I think we had a lot of confi dence coming out today; we weren’t intimidated. I think a game like this is very important, especially at this time in the season to see how we’re doing as far as getting better and preparing ourselves for the postseason and the College World Series.”

The Cougars are now 19-10 on the season and will play BYU in Utah for a three game series. The Cougars will return home for a six-game home stand starting with Lamar University on Tuesday.

after participating as a walk-on for his fi rst three years at UH.

Ros said his receiver group needs to focus on the other things besides catching the football if they want to progress as an offense.

“We were a young team last year, but we can’t let that be an excuse,” Ros said. “We got to focus on the blocking, not just catching the football, play-ing away from the ball — mainly the things we do besides catching.”

Levine said his receiving corp was young and wasn’t one of the strengths of the team last season but expects them to make a big impact this year.

“There’s no price that you can put on experience,” Levine said. “For them to play all those snaps last season, it was good for them. They’ve learned from their mistakes. Their timing and confi dence level are better, so is their knowledge of the offense.”

Burrell fi nds talent at former high schoolKathleen MurrillAssistant sports editor

Before attending UH, freshman sprinter Eric Futch was told by head coach Leroy Burrell that he wasn’t fast enough.

Futch attended the same Penn-sylvania high school as Burrell; so to prove him wrong, Futch broke all but two of Burrell’s high school records.

“It upset me a little when coach Burrell told me that, but it made me run faster through the years,” Futch said. “My senior year after I dropped a fast time and broke some of his records, he called, and I asked him if I was fast enough, yet. Then, we both had a pretty good laugh.”

During high school, Futch accom-plished much more than scratching Burrell’s name off Penn Wood High School’s record books.

He broke a 32-year Pennsylvania state record in the outdoor 300 meter hurdles, won the 400 meter hurdles at the 2011 Amateur Athletic Union National Championship, earned All-Delco and All-State honors, and won the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Indoor Champi-onships in the 200 meters, the 4x200 and 4x400 meter relays.

He finished up his senior year by being named the International Association of Athletics Federations World Juniors 400 meter hurdles champion.

“Eric’s talent is special. He has a really unique combination of strength and endurance. He is actu-ally one of the fastest 400 meter

hurdlers out there,” Burrell said. “He just needs to learn how to harness that. A lot of athletes have some of the same talents. The key is are you going to learn how to maximize those talents and that’s one of the things we are teaching him.”

Futch said he hopes to run in the Olympics for the U.S.

The connection between Bur-rell and his fellow Penn Wood High School graduates makes them believe

they can accomplish the same feats he has, Futch said.

“He knows what he’s doing. He been to this same stage, and he’s been to a stage higher than this as an Olympic champion,” Futch said. “I know he has my back because we are from the same place, so I just take notes on what he says, and then I run.”

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Looking forward to the last month

I am aiming for a strong finish as we get into the last month of publication for the semester, which means that you all have a lot more great content to look forward to.

Wondering what nifty things are going at the Moores School of Music, the School of Theater and

Q: What do you do at the music program and what career are you pursuing?

A: The technical name for the degree is jazz conducting. It’s essentially a program to allow jazz students to stay in the jazz fi eld. There are a lot of different levels in the other programs, but we don’t have all of those in jazz. I did my master’s in the same degree. This is my third year here. I think once you’ve rehearsed the band long enough, you just go up and do some gestures and get off.

Q: How was performing with Lew Soloff?

A: Performing with him was amazing. I spent time with him outside rehearsals and perfor-mance, and he’s like that weird grandfather, so it’s hard to explain. He probably has four or fi ve conversations going on in his head at the same time — he thinks well in advance. He can be talking to many people at once. He tells me what he has to say without having to pull me aside for 30 minutes to say it.

Q: How is it playing with a jazz ensemble, especially playing a less popular instrument?

A: I think in a jazz band, people focus on it — it kind of runs the rhythm section. A joke I use all the time is that nobody cares about the bass player. It reminds them that there’s more to focus on in a band. The music wouldn’t exist without the bass. It could work without any of the other instruments, but if you take the bass player out, the music doesn’t work.

Q: What made you decide that this was your instrument?

A: I heard a bass player named Victor Wooten, who plays an electric bass. He’s the one who got me interested, and right after I fi nished high school, I got myself a bass. I got into college and they said I’d never make it as a bass player. At the University of Arizona, the bass teacher accepted me as a beginner and was very happy I was passionate about playing the bass. I had to only learn classical and did jazz on my own.

Q: What is the best part of your experience at UH?

A: It’s kind of fl exible. I can do what I want, within reason. (UH doesn’t) have many jazz players, and you’re always playing if you’re one of them. If you go to a school with 500 jazz players, you’re not playing, so why are you in school? UH gives me the environment I need to grow. I feel like I can still cut it in New York. I go out and play with New York guys, tour and do all these things. I’m not prohibited by being a student musician. I have a home base by being here. That’s why I’m do-ing all these big things in Houston. If I were in any other city, I wouldn’t have this opportunity.

GERALD MASSOUDIs a bass-playing graduate student assistant at the Moores School of Music. He has been passionate about music all his life. He sat down with The Daily Cougar to tell us about his experiences at UH.

Frontier Fiesta came to a close at 1 a.m. Sunday with concerts by VerseCity and Justin Van Sant as well as an awards ceremony to fi n-ish off the three-day festival.

The Fiesta was considered an all around success by the board, but public opinion was mixed. However, there were a few visitors unaffiliated to UH, like Lauren Kelly who tagged along with her alumni friends, who had a positive view of the festival.

“It’s a great way to get the com-munity of UH together. It’s set up nicely, organized, and a lot of fun,” said fi rst-time guest Lauren Kelly.

The Fiesta had a wide turn out for the musical performances all three nights, and a record goal of $11,500 was raised in scholarship funds.

“The turnout for Frontier Fiesta was awesome. With the new loca-tion, everyone who came out to Fiesta was able to move throughout the city in an effective and effi cient way,” said Fiesta chair Jeff Syptak.

“I fi rmly believe we were able to get the crowds we did because of the new location and because of the curiosity of what Frontier Fiesta is all about. Throughout the week, students, faculty, staff, and alumni, saw our city come alive and the progress we were making.”

The new location was originally considered a point of contention for many students; but come Frontier Fiesta weekend many expressed a liking of the location due to its accessibility and the fact that many students were able to fi nd the festival simply from walk-ing by the city.

With the festival now over, the Frontier Fiesta Board will be elect-ing a new chairman and planning for 2014.

“This year, we have built a great relationship with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and hopefully we can continue this relationship and make it stron-ger. Our family fun day still has more room to grow and with this renewed partnership with HLSR,

it will continue to be bigger and better,” Syptak said.

“The last thing I would like to see improved is fi nding more items for students who are not involved in an organization. This year we had a university tent which all were welcome, but I do not think students utilize it enough. There is much more growth there.”

Some guests agreed with Syptak, saying that there was a lack of interesting things to do.

Many of the ones who were most excited about the Fiesta were the Greek organization members who gave variety performances throughout the weekend.

“(Frontier Fiesta is) really awesome because tons of organi-zations from all around the uni-versity come together and have a common goal to raise money for the university that we love,” said communications sophomore and sorority member Amy Davis.

“Although we are separate, we love the same thing.”

board of directors that oversee its current endowments and advise the University on alumni relations, Stuhr said.

The University will now be responsible for managing the day-to-day activities of all alumni rela-tions programs. The current UHAA staff will become UH employees under Stuhr’s supervision in the Division of University Advance-ment. This will allow the UHAA to focus more on programming and less on fundraising and securing annual membership from alumni.

“Most alumni associations have a hand in student recruitment and career services and helping their alums find jobs. We don’t spend much time on that because we don’t have the time to spend,” Pede said. “This interdependence will allow us the time to spend on more relevant things to our alumni on a day-to-day basis and engage more alumni on a day-to-day basis.”

The University and the UHAA have formed eight committees that will discuss things like transitions

in UHAA membership, budget and operations, constitute program-ming, non-membership program-ming and an overall plan for bet-tering alumni relations, said Pede

said.These

committees are made up of alumni, UH staff, UHAA staff and UH administra-tors and will prioritize new

and extended programming based on the goals of the University as a whole.

“The importance of University of Houston alumni to our future success cannot be overstated. We must ensure that UH continues to play a valuable role in the lives of its former students,” Khator said.

“It will create an expanded alumni base and a stronger affi lia-tion with our former students. Ulti-mately, the collaboration should produce even greater pride about being a Cougar, which benefi ts us all.”

parting words in the meeting before their fi nal adjournment.

“At the beginning of the adminis-tration, I challenged all of us to fi nd our passions, and the one thing you

were really passionate about was to give back to the student body,” Bandoh said. “You guys really went above and beyond to either address academic issues or social issues.”

Bandoh will take his inaugural oath for his re-election Friday, and the 50th administration will begin Monday.
