Representatives of different religious organizations and administrators from several Uni-versity departments celebrated Martin Luther King Jr.’s message at the University Center’s Hous-ton Room on Tuesday.

The representatives stressed how significant of a role faith and the equality of men played in King’s life.

“Martin King was man of great faith,” Rev. Victor Thomas of St. James Episcopal Church said. “He not only inspired African Americans, but people of all groups to come together under God’s message.”

Rabbi Kenny Weiss, executive director of Houston Hillel, spoke about how the Jewish com-munity related with the African American community, pointing out that both had endured discrimination.

“Regardless of how we under-stand suffering, Jews always nod their head in agreement when hearing the words ‘Dr. King said,’” he said. “

President Renu Khator addressed the gathering by talking about how the British gave her native country of India independence after 100 years of colonization. Khator said Mahatma Gandhi’s work in India during these times was a source of inspiration for King.

“Today we celebrate the life of Dr. King, a disciple of Gandhi, who led the nation out of great despair. A person of vision, a person of hope, but most impor-tantly a person of courage,” Khator said.

With UH being the second-most diverse university in the nation, the year would not be complete without the com-memoration of King’s life and his message, said junior Ebony Wallace.

“I think it’s important that we celebrate the diversity that Dr. King brings us and how it affects everyone,” Wallace said. “It’s important that we continue this so everyone feels welcome on this campus.”

Student Government President Michael Harding has attended the event every year and said each year gets better.

“Our student body is a symbol of what this school stands for — community amongst diversity. I feel coming to this school is like going to the school of the United Nations,” Harding said.

According to a study by US News & World report, UH has one of the most diverse campuses in the United States based on the University’s 2010 to 2011 student

body, second only to Rutgers, the state university of New Jersey.

In tonight’s meeting, the Student Govern-ment Association will discuss a grade replace-ment policy that would allow students to retake a failed class within their fi rst 45 hours of their undergraduate education.

The bill received criticism from some of the student senators, including political science and English senior Stephen Cronin who said it could devalue a UH degree.

“If people have higher GPAs, then the value

of the degree goes down,” Cronin said. “I think it’s a bad policy, and I think it would be bad for UH students.”

Honors College Senator Maggie McCartney said other schools, including UT and A&M, hold similar policies and adopting the bill would make UH students better candidates when they look for employment.

“UT has a grade replacement policy, and if a student from there has a 3.5 GPA and the student from UH has a 3.0, the student from UT will get the position,” McCartney said. “It will make us more competitive and put us on equal footing.”

Currently, students who retake a course will have both grades factor into their cumulative grade point average at the University.

If enacted, the bill would allow students

to retake a failed class if they have fewer than 45 credit hours, including credit from other institutions. Students would only be allowed to

THIS MONTH IN HISTORY:DRUGS EDITION

WORLD

UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTONOn Jan. 22, 1987, The Daily

Cougar reported that the Uni-versity was unclear whether UH had to comply with an anti-smoking ordinance in the City of Houston. Eleanor Tinsley, the councilwoman responsible for the ordinance, said it was “a very hazy area,” and though UH usually complied with city regulations, it was not required.

On Jan. 23, 1992, The Daily Cougar reported a resolution to ban smoking inside all campus buildings was waiting to be passed by then President Marguerite Ross Barnett. The resolution was origi-nally proposed by Faculty Senate, but a similar ban was introduced by then-Student Association President Michael Berry during a meeting later that month.

Important Events.

On Jan. 16, 1920, the 18th Amendment came into effect at midnight, making alcohol illegal.

On Jan. 14, 1937, a private conference in the Treasury Build-ing in Washington, DC discussed federal views on cannabis, lead-ing to the passage of marijuana prohibition later that year.

On Jan. 15, 1963, President John F. Kennedy created the Advi-sory Committee on Narcotic and Drug Abuse.

On Jan. 15, 1997, the fi rst medical marijuana was sold in California after the passage of Proposition 215.

Fun FactsOn Jan. 21, 2004, while cam-

paigning for a spot in the US Senate at Northwestern University, Barack Obama discussed marijuana laws.

“We need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws,” Obama said. “But I’m not I’m not somebody who believes in legaliza-tion of marijuana. What I do believe is that we need to rethink how we’re operating the drug war. Currently, we’re not doing a good job.”

On Jan. 18, 2006, The Smoking Gun published an article called, “A Million Little Lies,” which exposed James Frey’s “autobiography” about his drug use called “A Million Little Pieces” as a work of fi ction.

A bill that would ban smoking within 25 feet of entrances to all UH build-ings was passed by the Student Government Association on Jan. 18. The bill will next be sent to Staff Council and Faculty Senate for approval. In honor of the passage, like it or not, “this week in history” is recounting January’s drug and alcohol history. — Daily Cougar News Services

retake the course once and would still pay for each class. The original grade would still appear on their transcript and be denoted with an “R,” but would not affect their grade point average.

Students would need to have fewer than 45 credit hours at UH when they apply for the replace-ment, and the same course can-not be retaken more than once, according to the bill text. Students would also be unable to petition more than three grades or 10 credit hours.

Communications and political

science senior Michael McHugh said he wrote the bill for students who fail a class when they have “special circumstances they can’t control.”

“We are denying our student body the ability to correct some mistakes they have made in the past to brighten their future over things that were beyond their control,” McHugh said.

The bill was revised since it was brought to the Student Senate on Oct. 26 and could face additional changes in the Jan. 25 Academic Affairs Committee meeting before putting it up for a vote again, said McCartney.

UH students meet Warren Bu! ett, take tour of Berkshire Hatheway

Miriam VillaltaTHE DAILY COUGAR

Twenty students from the Wolff Center for Entrepreneur-ship at Bauer were given the opportunity to meet famed inves-tor Warren Buffett on Jan. 13 in Omaha, Neb.

The students, who were chosen based on essays they had written about why they should be picked to go on the trip, met Buffett in person while touring the Berkshire Hathaway headquarters.

“I thought it would be sort of like an auditorium where he’d come in and leave but it was really an intimate setting where

we were on the front row,” said Entrepreneurship senior Corinne Agrella. “It was the equivalent to a smaller classroom.

“It was nice to have such a setting that was conducive to him being there for us and wanting to be there.”

The students attended a question-and-answer in addi-tion to lunch with Buffett and received investment advice.

“I think what was most valu-able on the trip to Omaha was the fact that Warren Buffett is just like one of us,” Agrella said. “He was just a really personable guy and really was there for the students.”

Buffett encouraged the stu-dents to do what they love rather than what will pay well.

“What Warren Buffett did is he made money by doing what

he loved to do and he was just successful. He enjoys going to work every day that’s why he’s 81 years old and he still does all the stuff at his offi ce,” entrepreneur-ship senior Louis McEneny said. “He’s not doing it for the money — he’s doing it for what it is and I thought that was one of the best things I learned from the trip.”

The students were accompa-nied by Ken Jones, the program’s director, and Melvyn Wolff, the center’s namesake and a board member for Berkshire Hathaway who personally and fi nancially orchestrated the trip, Agrella said.

“It was a short trip but it was a fun trip,” McEneny said.

“Warren Buffett played his cards right and got lucky and we can do the same,” Agrella said.

E xactly one week ago thousands of websites temporarily blacked out content to protest online piracy

bills. The US government seized a popu-lar but dubious website the next day. Internet hacktivists struck soon after. The legislation was paused before the weekend arrived.

That is the quick and dirty version. Even if the legislation and

protests should be news to no one, the FBI crackdown and subsequent back-lash have yet to go mainstream.

Websites like Wikipedia blocked their own content Wednesday, Jan. 18 to raise awareness of the PROTECT IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act. Most did not return for 24 hours.

Then on Thursday the US Justice Department and FBI shut down the file hosting website Megaupload. Several people who operated Megaupload (including the owner) were arrested and indicted with five charges of copy-right infringement and conspiracy.

The FBI seized 18 domain names and an estimated $50 million in assets and servers. Keep in mind this occurred without the assistance of SOPA and PIPA.

Hours after Megaupload was shut

down, the internet group Anony-mous knocked websites offline via distributed denial of service attacks. Government targets included websites for the FBI, the U.S. Department of Jus-tice and the White House. The websites for Warner Music, Universal Music and the Recording Industry Association of America were also targeted.

The crescendo, however, came on Friday, Jan. 20, when the U.S. House Judiciary Committee postponed plans to draft the SOPA bill and delayed a vote for PIPA.

Perhaps the protests from websites like Wikipedia and Google were to thank for the halt, or maybe it was citizens who overloaded servers and circuit boards as they contacted their government representatives. Or, perhaps it was the low orbit ion can-non DDoS backlash that Anonymous delivered.

Maybe, just maybe, our government representatives realized what a mistake they were making. But this is unlikely. The best argument against SOPA and PIPA — if not most government regula-tion — is that politicians tend to not understand the subject matter.

There are fundamental ideas about the internet that Texas Representative Lamar Smith did not comprehend when he proposed SOPA. Looking at

Smith’s record of copyright legislation, this should come as little surprise.

There will always be Internet pirates to get around IP address blocks and rip copyrighted content — they cannot be legislated away. In addition, allowing media corporations to call the shots on copyright infringement is irresponsible, if not frightening. Most of all, it should be realized that the Internet is regulated without help from SOPA and PIPA.

Even before Megaupload was seized, the website was hit with all kinds of take-down notices and corporate threats.

In December 2011, several music artists collaborated in a promotional ad for Megaupload and the video ad ended

Two Bauer students have started a business that has placed our University in a spotlight, albeit

a tiny one. These two enterprising Cougars have created a calendar that features scantily clad female UH stu-dents posing in bikinis and less-than conservative attire.

Campus Calendar Girls bills itself as a chari-table organization, but in reality it only donates 10 percent of its revenue to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Wounded Warrior Project. While we can’t condemn anyone for donating to two noble causes, using the guise of charity to exploit female students is offensive to our campus.

This is primarily because it sheds a negative light on the women of our University and devalues their achievements as students at a Carnegie-designated Tier One Research Institution. Having a calendar full of provocatively-posing students undoes the work the current administration has done to refi ne our national academic reputation and increase the prestige of our University.

This calendar brings a kind of attention to UH that isn’t in keeping with the achievements and advances we’re making every day on a national level. In fact, it creates the illusion that students here aren’t as concerned with education as they are with social standings.

Furthermore, it tarnishes the reputation of the Bauer School of Business, which is a nationally-ranked business school. Surely Bauer students have more to offer than this — there’s nothing orig-inal or interesting about exploiting women to make a quick buck. Such a reputable business school should be teaching its students to be innovative in their approach to applying their degrees. There are certainly students at Bauer whose ideas are more deserving of recognition than those responsible for Campus Calendar Girls.

While they should undoubtedly be applauded for the success of their start up, that success is tainted by the fact that a cheap idea is what earned them the limelight.

The Daily Cougar OPINION Wednesday, January !", !#$! ! 5

W hen a chronic smoker decides it’s time to smoke, he or she is going

to smoke. There’s nothing scientific

about this. There are no for-mulas, extraneous variables or misleading statistics. Whole

countries make their liv-ing off of this, and they’ve yet to be ostrisized.

The drive to smoke depends on the individual.

The fact that Alvin succumbs to the weight of his social con-scious on a regular basis bears no relation to whether or not Janine will follow suit. She may choose to set up shop on a stoop by the library, or on a bench before a meal. The lighter might be in motion before she’s even left the building.

It’s a social anomaly, and one that’s significantly amplified on the campus of a university. One might think that common consideration for our neighbors — an inclination instilled in us from childhood, hardened by television, the internet and popular radio — would be strong enough to repel Nicotine, but one would be wrong.

So although the University’s Student Government Association

acted with the best intentions in mind with the passage of this month’s smoking bill, it’s the smoker’s addiction that’s going to render it ineffective. The bill isn’t intended to “outlaw smoking on campus,” but to “make the environment healthier for non-smoking students.”

Implementing a distance of 25 feet between smokers and the buildings they inhabit would be an ample solution for say, a home for the elderly, or any envi-ronment where the locals would be daunted by slight alterations in distance. This obviously isn’t applicable for a college campus.

It’s one thing to dismantle an issue, stripping it of all the variables that make it possible, but it’s completely different to kick it a couple of yards further down the road.

Discontinuing cigarette sales on campus would be a solution. Regulating public smoking to particular hours would follow the same course. This is not a solu-tion so much as a shift.

But let’s pretend that this bill is actually followed by UH students. Even if their hearts are in the right place, smokers are now just 10 paces further from Cullen than they would have been several weeks ago.

Depending on the location and the time of the day, a smoker may find himself even deeper within a crowd of nonsmoking

students.This isn’t to say that it wasn’t a

good idea. Smoking will continue to be a health hazard. It’s not glamorous like the movies would like you to believe, and very few people look good doing it.

It is well within the interests of both the University and its student organizations to attack it as an obstacle head on. But if there’s going to be any leeway made, it’ll have to be approached with every tool at the table — as opposed to an early semester and ineffective trust.

Nicotine is loud. If the SGA hopes to garner any leeway out of this premise, it’s going to have to speak a little louder.

up on YouTube. Mere hours after the upload, YouTube received a take-down notice from Universal Media Group. The take-down notice claimed that the ad was a copyright violation of UMG con-tent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This was incorrect, but Youtube removed the promo-tional video anyway.

Don’t be confused about the protection of musicians. UMG was against the ad because the video raised awareness about fi le sharing and piracy. UMG did not even own any content in the ad — unless they think they own the musicians. In essence, a corporate entity bullied a website into taking down content that hurt its feelings

without the aid of SOPA or PIPA.The argument that SOPA

and PIPA were meant to protect consumers and producers is absurd. These two bills cater to the overblown entertainment industry and the old media. Sure, the entertainment industry produces money, but so does the technology industry. It should be obvious which of the two uses the Internet to its full potential.

If nothing else, other than outer space, the internet is the fi nal frontier. It needs to stay that way.

A supercomputer would not be able to comprehend what the average Internet user can realize easily. Apparently the average law-maker cannot realize this simple fact either.

Conference bestSenior guard Roxana Button leads Confer-ence USA in scoring at 18.7 points per game. Button also ranks third in C-USA in free-throw percentage (78 percent) and ! fth in 3-pointers made (29). Button also leads C-USA with two 30-point performances this season against Yale and UTSA.

Chris SheltonTHE DAILY COUGAR

Defense has been a problem for UH this season.

The Cougars are the worst scor-ing defense in Conference USA, giving up 72.8 points per game.

A myriad of injuries have made defense a tough proposition for UH, and have forced the Cougars to shift to a 2-3 zone.

The Cougars spent Tuesday’s entire practice working on improv-ing their defensive execution by

putting all of their repetitions into their new defensive style.

Assistant coach Wade Scott and head coach Todd Buchanan encouraged the Cougars to com-municate better on the defensive end of the fl oor in preparation for their upcoming schedule.

Rice visits Hofheinz Pavilion this Saturday.

The Cougars face a unique challenge with the size that Rice presents in the front court. Forwards Jessica Kuster (6-2) and Brianna Hypolite (6-1) are both legitimate scoring threats.

Freshman forward Amanda Lawson will be tasked with banging with them inside. Lawson followed up a 15-point performance against

Tulsa by going for eight points and seven rebounds in the Cougars’ last game.

The battle to be C-USA’s leading scorer seems like it will go through Houston this year.

Kuster (17points, 11 rebounds per game) is C-USA’s second leading scorer behind UH guard Roxana Button.

Kuster and Button’s individual scoring prowess could provide interesting fi reworks on offense.

The Cougars showing in the painted area could be an indicator of how the game will play out.

The Cougars will need to focus on limiting Kuster near the basket if they want to win the rebounding battle.

The Cougars took a heavy loss on the glass in their most recent con-test against UTEP on Sunday and it led to one of their biggest defeats of the season.

In that game, the Cougars shot just 26 percent from the fi eld and went 0-4 on three-point attempts.

The Cougars also were only able to record one assist against the Miners.

Better ball movement and shoot-ing will be key against the Owls.

Against the Owls, Button hopes to rebound from a 5-19 shooting performance. She was still able to score 20 points, draining 10-13 from the free-throw line.

UH hangs tough with BaylorAlbert TorresTHE DAILY COUGAR

The Cougars took on No. 6 Baylor on Saturday and lost 6-1 in their spring-season opener.

“I thought we competed very well,” head coach John Severance said. “We had opportunities to win more singles points against the sixth-ranked team in the country.

“We showed a lot of people there today that we’re a competitive bunch and it’s only a matter of time until we’re nationally ranked.”

Last week he cited the importance of being able to beat the nation’s top teams and next week the goal remains the same as UH takes on Colorado at

1 p.m. Saturday at the John E. Hoff courts.

The Buffaloes (1-1) plays in one the toughest tennis conferences in the nation — the Pac-12 — and UH hopes that a win will strengthen its argument for a national ranking.

Severance wasn’t happy about the loss to Baylor, but hoped it showed that they are capable of competing with high-level teams.

“I don’t like losing, even to the number-six program in the nation,” Severance said. “We have to play well 100 percent of the time, playing well 90 percent of the time wont cut it.

“The team wasn’t upbeat about losing and I don’t want them to be, but they now know that can compete with the best.”

Senior Giorgia Pozzan took on Baylor’s Diana Nakic, the 14th-ranked player in the nation, and lost a close 7-5, 7-5 singles match .

“She showed how much she wants to compete and win,” Severance said.

Freshmen Charlotte Phillips and Liselot Koenen also had strong perfor-mances against the Bears, but are not finished products.

“They have to keep improving and gaining experience,” Severance said.

The Cougars have goals for the season and they know how to achieve them.

“We want to be nationally ranked,” Severance said. “And have to now win against those good teams.”

After making its full theatrical release on Jan. 20, eyebrows across the nation are raised over the fi lm many see as an abomination to the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001.

Receiving Oscar nominations for both Best Picture and Actor in a Supporting Role on Tuesday, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” stars Tom Hanks, San-dra Bullock and Thomas Horn in a story not focused on the events of the worst terrorist attack in American history, but about nine-year-old Oskar Schell (Horn) fi nding closure in his father’s (Hanks) untimely death.

After fi nding a key in his father’s closet a year after the World Trade Centers collapsed, Oskar makes it his mission to fi nd the lock to which it belongs, coming

endlessly through the fi ve boroughs of New York on foot with the help of a man who lives in his grandmother’s apartment across the street, known only as The Renter (Max von Sydow).

Screenwriter Eric Roth did incredible justice to the novel of the same title by Jonathan Safran Foer. Transforming the book — which follows the often-sporadic inner workings of Oskar’s mind — into a script was no easy feat, but he left few key plot lines untouched and added very few elements that weren’t found in the novel.

von Sydow’s nomination for Actor in a Supporting Role is questionable, but not undeserved. Though he has no spoken lines, he guides Oskar’s journey perfectly through handwritten notes.

However, newcomer to the big screen Thomas Horn could have easily received an Oscar nomination for his performance.

With his only experience in front of the camera being children’s “Jeopardy!” in 2010, his portrayal of an incred-ibly intelligent, yet extremely panicky Oskar Schell was heart wrenching. He

absolutely nailed the personality traits and speech patterns found in children with suspected-Asperger Syndrome through perfectly-delivered narration, monologues and onscreen interactions with Bullock, Hanks and von Sydow.

Such harsh criticism and backlash the fi lm has received is completely unwarranted.

Before refusing to see the fi lm because it’s been perceived as offensive, remem-ber that “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” is not insensitive to the national tragedy 10 years ago; it is a story about conquering fears, honoring a fallen loved one and putting the pieces of a broken heart back together.

Sarah Nielsen consults the stars as we enter into the Year of the Dragon

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Happy birthday, darlings. While I write, your

reigning fi gure teases us with the rain so character-istic of this time of year. Let’s look forward to great possibilities in the lunar new year of the Dragon that began when the sun and moon entered your sign over the weekend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Venus is in your sign right now. Take the chance

and open up about your romantic feelings before Valentine’s Day. The person you’re trying to reach might understand what you want to say better in an old-fashioned letter rather than a phone call.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your sign’s ruler, Mars, God of War, is about to

throw a giant hissy fi t next week in Virgo’s sign. Watch out for some serious temper tantrums, frus-trations in work and communication coupled with some serious roadblocks.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): We’ve got Mars, Mercury and Pluto creating nice

angles to Jupiter right now. Perfect. Right in your sign. Take the opportunity to get some creative and expansionist thinking done with these helpful aspects.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): My dad’s a Gemini, and we were hanging out

recently. He had two cell phones, one in each hand, and he was doing something on each phone while holding a conversation. Consider how you can improve your communication methods. Remem-ber, always chose quality over quantity.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): The Moon is your ruling celestial being, and

right now she’s in the gregarious sign of Aquarius. Take the moment to have a really good social expe-rience outside of your comfort zone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re in the free and clear at the moment.

I recommend taking an unbiased moment and refl ecting on how you’re going to get through this Mars-retrograde hissy fi t that’s on its way. Bolster your defenses.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Like I’ve been telling everyone else, Mars is

about to turn retrograde in your sign and he’ll stay that way, frustrating communication and mak-ing political tact impossible until April. Work on breathing deeply while you can.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Saturn’s in your sign for the long haul, and while

this can really feel like you’re being caned by nuns, this is the opportunity to buckle down and garner some utilities you’ll be grateful you earned.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Venus, planet of love, and Chiron, the wounded

healer, are together creating trines to your sign right now. And because there aren’t any planets in your sign right now, this is a good time to look at love, hurt and take a moment to heal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You centaurs have the perfect opportunity to

look objectively at what you want in the coming weeks and months, particularly as Valentine’s approaches, when you can woo whomever you choose.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My favorite sea-goats, mythological beings of

great stamina and good mystery, Pluto and Mer-cury are in your sign and call on you to express the unspoken sides of your personality that sometimes just need to revel in the human side of life.

Film creates controversy

Publication showcases art and moreCamila Cossio THE DAILY COUGAR

The folks at The Aletheia, the most recent addition to the list of UH literary journals, have been hard at work for the upcoming release of their second chapbook, which will be issued today during the monthly reading series at Avant Garden.

Edward Garza, a literary studies junior and the newest member of The Aletheia staff, shared what to expect from the journal this semester.

“We’re publishing our second-ever

issue — my fi rst issue as editor. I was published in the fi rst one and got a chance to meet the other editors, and they decided to take me on.

“This issue is poetry heavy and has a lot more art than the previous issue did.”

The journal’s focus is on the UH undergraduate community but also has a wider range of artists in mind.

“What makes The Aletheia exceptional is that it is more than a publication. Our mission is not only to showcase UH artists, but to do so beyond the bounds of campus,” Garza said. “Thus, every month we post new content on www.thealetheiajournal.com.”

Part of what distinguishes The Aletheia from other journals is its substantial amount of exclusive online content that either showcases additional work from a particular artist or provides an insightful interview about the creative endeavors of those individuals.

“The content constitutes a student feature, an alumni feature and a faculty feature. These profi les allow readers everywhere to discover more work from an Aletheia artist as well as learn more about her or him through an interview,” Garza said. “This, of course, is in

addition to the digital copy of the journal, which is also on the site.”

The Aletheia also hosts monthly readings at Avant Garden, 411 Westheimer. The readings revolve around the work of con-tributors and UH’s undergraduate literary community.

“The readings typically feature three writers from the journal. These have been well-attended, lively events,” Garza said.

A reading dedicated to under-graduates is fairly rare and a great experience for up-and-coming writers to practice reading to an audience, which besides being entertaining helps instill confi -dence in young writers.

On Saturday, editors got together to bind the Spring 2012

chapbook together. The debut issue was also hand-bound, with a rough thread that gave the journal an eclectic feel.

“We editors maintain a fun and productive atmosphere — whether we’re hosting a reading or deciding on which submissions we’ll publish.

“Since our creative interests encompass prose, poetry and visual art, the journal is all the more rich,” Garza said.

“We want to give you literature that is not only strong and inven-tive, but a joy to read.”

The Aletheia is published by the University of Houston Honors College Center for Creative Work.

‘Statue of Four Lies’

Like the statue from which it is inspired — of John Harvard in Harvard Yard, nicknamed

“the statue of three lies” for its inscription — passers-by might think of “Four Lies” as a perfectly predictable historic art piece. As with its ivy-league counterpart, a closer ex-amination of the work of art’s plaques and engravings reveals several ironies and interesting inaccura-cies within the work — there is even a codex in the Special Collections of the M.D. Anderson Memorial Library that works with the piece to help solve its mysteries. The main subjects of the statue are bronze copies of its creators, Houston’s The Art Guys. “They thought they would one-up Harvard and do a statue of four lies,” curator of the University Public Art Collection Michael Guidry said. “There aren’t really four lies within the piece, though, that’s a lie in itself. The whole piece is riddled with quote-unquote ‘lies.’” The date of its sealing (it is also a time capsule) and the date of the University’s 100th anniversary are both intentionally incorrect. The statues are posed in such a way to invite interaction, and have been dressed up on more than one occasion. There is also a website dedicated to the piece that the artists monitor. “They really think of it as an on-going active piece of art, not something that was just installed last year and then you walk away from it and move on,” Guidry said. “They really like the idea that it’s going to have a life, and they continue to do things to kind of activate it.” — Alicia Wilson/The Daily Cougar

Organization to honor Year of the Dragon Darlene CamposTHE DAILY COUGAR

The Council of Ethnic Orga-nizations will be hosting a Lunar New Year celebration at noon to 2 p.m today at the UC Arbor.

Though many cultures have a lunar or lunisolar calendar, this UH celebration is dedicated to the Chinese New Year, which occurred on Monday. This new year ushers in the Year of the Dragon.

The Chinese calendar itself is lunisolar and the New Year is widely celebrated throughout China, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam and, of course, in the United States.

While some communities only hold Lunar New Year festivities

for a few days, others keep on celebrating for 15 consecutive days, with each day having a dif-ferent theme.

Traditional dishes are also eaten. Red decorations are hung. Monetary gifts are given and fireworks are lit to welcome the New Year.

UH’s CEO is funded by stu-dent fees and its goal is to spread awareness of different cultures and the well-known diversity of our campus.

This semester, the CEO will have soup cooking lessons, a Carnival of Cultures, Zuzu acro-bats and more.

For more information on the CEO, visit www.uh.edu/csiceo/index.html.
