A recent graduate of the Ger-ald D. Hines College of Architec-ture at the University of Hous-ton is competing for one of the three winning spots, decided by popular vote, in Walmart’s “Get on the Shelf” competition.

If Verdin Jerome makes it to the top three, his product will be sold in Walmart’s online store and be given free market-ing support. The grand-prize winner could also possibly see their product carried in Wal-mart’s stores.

Jerome said he found the competition when a friend posted a link about it on LinkedIn.

The Company Jerome co-founder, Vaeren, is submitting the Vaeren Ausion Surround Sound Floor Lamp.

The featured lamp has an adjustable speaker stand built in that conceals standard sized speakers underneath the lamp-shade; the speakers cannot be seen, even with lamp’s light on.

“It’s a regular floor lamp, but I redesigned the inside so there is space for standard speakers,” Jerome said.

“It’s not made for large speakers.”

Jerome said the concealment of surround sound speakers was inspired by a friend’s need for more space.

“I have a friend graduate

from NYU film school and he always playing around with his surround sound speakers, due to space,” he said.

“He could put two speakers on either side of his sofa, to take up less space.”

Walmart has not said if they will control the rights to the winning entry or not.

The first round of voting began March 7 and will end Tuesday, when the top ten will move on to the second round of voting.

Around 30 UH residential assistants were caught off guard at a staff meeting on Feb. 29 when they were told they owed money back to the university because they were over-awarded financial aid.

Sophomore Journalism major Kathleen Murrill, a residential assistant in Cougar Village, was shocked to learn that she owed the university more than $5,000 after she had already paid off her account.

“I had paid my tuition bill in full in January with the help of scholarships, loans and the compensation from being a RA,” said Murrill.

“When I saw that I now owed back over $5,000, I was surprised and scared because I had no idea how I would be able to pay that.”

Several RAs are facing similar charges and many are not ready to simply pay with-out trying to fight the charges. As the issue has not yet been resolved, none are willing

to go on record at this time.“The RAs affected are understandably

upset. There has been some organization with the creation of a Facebook page and emails to each other,” said Murrill.

“I think they just want to know why this wasn’t fully explained to us before we took the position and why we have to pay for this mistake.”

UH assigns each student an expected cost of attendance when they enroll based on multiple factors, said Executive Direc-tor of Student Financial Aid Sal Loria Jr. Students can receive up to that amount in scholarships and grants that are awarded based on financial need.

“We started hearing concern from some staff members that their financial aid packages were being readjusted,” said Executive Director of Residential Life & Housing Don Yackley. “Their aid was being adjusted down based on how much need they qualified for.”

Residential assistants receive waivers to cover the costs of room and board rather than monetary compensation, Yackley

said. “The RA waivers are truly waiving their

fees,” said Loria.“If you’re not an RA, you would have

to pay completely out-of-pocket for those charges. So it is counted as a resource.”

Counting the waiver as a resource that impacts the student’s cost of attendance because it is considered needs-based. This amount is factored into the overall amount of aid a student is receiving and counts towards the university’s set budget.

“It was really the timing of when we received the (list of RAs) and how we posted those funds to their account,” Loria said.

“It happened after students got refunds and that’s what caused the charge back. Some students had been over-awarded.”

Once the financial aid office realized these students had been given more aid than their budget allowed, they had to inform them and reclaim the excess amount in compliance with federal law.

“Here’s a cup of water and this is how much aid you are eligible for. Financial

aid filled the cup based on your individual situation,” said Yackley.

“Later, housing poured in the amount of what RA compensation is and it made the water spill over. Now we have to clean up the water and return it.”

The amounts owed back range from $100 to $7,000 according to Loria, but financial aid is working with each student individually to try and reduce the incon-venience of the costs as much as possible. Loria says he hopes they can lower the number of students affected to about 20.

“For any student that is left with an outstanding balance, it will of course be held at no interest,” said Loria. “We’ve paid back the feds so the institution will hold that debt as a zero, no interest loan.”

Murrill said she has found the financial aid office helpful in the month it has taken to get her account back to normal, but she is still struggling with the fact that the problem occurred at all.

“The situation continues to be

University of Houston’s assistant professor Wei-Chuan Shih has won a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the first from the NSF’s Biopho-tonics Program granted in the greater Houston area.

Shih was awarded a five-year, $400,000 grant to develop a new method to identify, count and profile bacteria more efficiently.

“You can use very laboratory-intensive techniques to detect bacteria but that is very expen-sive and requires a lot of sample preparation,” Shih said.

Shih’s research combines two different methods of Raman microspectroscopy coupled with computational image analysis to produce fast and accurate results.

“A commercial Raman microspectroscopy system is

very slow,” Shih said.“We are building a new

instrument that allows us to get the same kind of data but in a fraction of the time by using statistical analysis to mine and recognize patterns, which is more accurate than visual inspection of data.”

The research Shih is con-ducting is useful in medical diagnostics, where bacteria cell culture experiments can take days to yield results.

“There is a concern globally for abuse in antibiotic treat-ment, and part of the reason is that technology cannot help to get a quicker diagnosis,” Shih said.

“This technology provides much faster confirmation whether bacteria is present, so doctors can then make a better decision whether to prescribe antibiotics or not.”

frustrating because it feels as though RAs are suffering the consequences of a problem they didn’t cause or create,” said Murrill.

“I do believe financial aid and housing are trying their best to help the situation in any legal way they can, but either way, RAs are literally paying for (someone else’s) mistake.”

While Residential Life &

Housing and the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid are planning to reevaluate their current system for processing the aid on residential assistants’ accounts, Yackley said no depart-ment is particularly at fault.

“Next year we are reorganizing the system to ensure this doesn’t happen again,” said Loria.

“It’s avoidable and, when done appropriately, (the system) works.”

This new technology has far reaching implications in not only the medical community, but in environmental sciences,

food safety and biological war-fare defense.

“One possibility is to be able to detect biological agents in airport security,” Shih said.

Along with professor Jack Wolfe, Shih advises two doctoral candidates and three

undergraduate students who help him in his research.

“Financial support from the grant will allow me to hire more research assistants,” Shih said.

STAFF EDITORIAL

University of Houston President and Chancellor Renu Khator met with the editorial staff of the Houston Chronicle last

week and said she would press the UH Board of Regents not to increase tuition.

“We just made this commitment that we’re not going to do it,” Khator said. “To say that we can hold the line for a year, it tests your character.”

Karen Clarke, associate vice chancellor for university relations for the UH System, joined Khator in the meeting.

While this news is a welcome rest from all the increases in fees and tuition, mandatory and otherwise, Khator still has to convince the board of regents when they meet today. This puts things in perspective. Khator easily takes the fl ak for ris-ing tuition and costs at UH — she’s the president after all — but the board of regents wields power as well.

Although Khator is the university chancellor, she is also like a CEO, says Clarke, and she’s done her homework. Khator unveiled several docu-ments at the editorial meeting including a 2012 president’s report, accountability report and UH system performance report that show exactly where UH stood a year ago, and aside from minor setbacks in research awards and annual giving, performance has been good.

We’re not letting Khator off the hook, how-ever. For example, she wants at least 25 percent of enrolled students to live on campus. As of now, 16 percent of more than 39,000 students sleep in an on-campus bed. Adding beds will be one component, but we strongly suggest Khator think about the need for other amenities.

There are no 24-hour dining services on campus and barely any 24-hour study areas. If 25 percent lived on campus now, that would mean about 10,000 students in the tiny lounge dan-gling from the M.D. Anderson Memorial Library, and 10,000 students surviving on crackers and soda when the cafeterias close for the holidays and spring break. UH will have to be a home if it wants students to treat it like one.

The board of regents meets today with an agenda for business. We trust Khator has an agenda for students.

Students’ hopes rest with Khator at board meeting

Founded in 1994 by Michael Fienberg and David Levin, Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) Schools are the

biggest sensation in edu-cation since integration.

With more than 50 schools nationwide, the program has success-fully educated hundreds of underprivileged and minority youth since its founding. As a former

student of the original KIPP School in Houston from 2000 to 2004, I am a living testimony to the rigorous yet rewarding educational system. But I am also a wit-ness to an area in which KIPP fell short.

Knowing one of the co-founders and many of the teachers and administrators personally, I am sure the intention wasn’t to alienate the black students. In fact, Fienberg believes that “all instruction must be relevant to the learner, culturally and emotionally.”

However, with its progressive ideas in education, during my years of attendance, KIPP reverted to arguably backwards practices in terms of cultural relevance in relation to the students with darker skin.

Of my graduating class at KIPP, I was one of about 20 black students in a mostly Hispanic population. Being the minority wasn’t easy, and some of the teachers at KIPP didn’t make it any easier. There are a few incidents that vividly stand out to me.

I can still remember “judgment day” as I once called it. It was the day that students would learn their fate in attendance at the end-of-year trip. As an extremely well-behaved and straight-A student, I had no worries about my fate. But something was different in the teachers’ eyes when I met them at the judgment table. They told me that I was not on the list to go on the trip. I was shocked and embarrassed. It was heartbreaking news for a former “Student of the Year.” They explained

that I had made an improper comment. As I searched my memory bank for any recollection of anything improper, one of my teachers explained my wrong-doing. The improper comment: “I understand and love learning about Jewish history, and I understand our founders are of Jewish heritage. I was just wondering if we could ever learn about black history or more about Hispanic history, since most of us are black and Hispanic.” I fought back tears as my fate was unveiled. I couldn’t understand what was so wrong about that statement. Did the opinion of a little black girl matter in such a school?

There were many other instances when I felt this intolerance, such as the time we were told our black hair products were a joke, the favoritism Hispanic students received, the lack of information we learned about black history, the fact that we were often targeted for misconduct, and the fact that at least one of the school’s plays was about Hispanic culture and none were about my own. But Judgement Day was by far the most hurtful of all my culturally negative experiences at KIPP.

Some may wonder if this experience was unique to me. I guarantee it wasn’t. Quotes on this topic from fellow black KIPPsters include: “We were always asked why we didn’t mingle with the Hispanic children but the Hispanic children were never asked why they didn’t mingle with us,” and “There were special programs that catered to the Latino students and parents, but we never had that.”

After such negative experiences, I vowed to never express my opinion at KIPP again. In fact, my teachers eventually allowed me to go on the trip. But they threatened that if I ever made remarks like that again, I’d be put on a plane, alone, from California to Houston. It wasn’t until Harriett Ball passed, that I decided to openly voice my opinion again.

In February, I received the monthly newsletter from a KIPP Alumni Association

representative and was extremely disappointed with what the newsletter mentioned, or should I say failed to mention. The newsletter highlighted Valentine’s Day and internships among other things, but made absolutely no mention of Black History Month, which as its name states, spans the course of the entire month. I was already disappointed with my recent discovery that the woman who had inspired and mentored the KIPP co-founders, was in fact a black woman. It wasn’t until Ball’s passing, seven years after I had completed my KIPP education, that I would learn anything about her. Don’t you think knowing this would have made a world of difference, created a pool of inspi-ration, for a little black girl at KIPP? Was it merely an accident or pure neglect that the newsletter failed to mention something so important to black people?

I am not sure if KIPP is culturally the same now as it was then, but the 2012 Feb-ruary newsletter suggests that not much has changed at the original KIPP School. I am happy to say that KIPP schools like Liberation and Voyage have been created in predominantly black areas such as the Third Ward and are orchestrated by those who are familiar with black culture and history.

But what about black students who don’t live in these areas? Should they be at risk to have their culture suppressed or even have their opinions taken away like I did? Should they have to feel less-than, blamed or alienated? Although KIPP is widely-recognized as successful, I urge administrators to survey the cultural satis-faction of minority students in a majority setting.

Although primarily progressive, KIPP can learn something from the positive cultural trends unique to the era of segregation.

Piland ready to lead CougarsJoshua SiegelTHE DAILY COUGAR

On paper, many things have changed for the Cougars between their win in the TicketCity Bowl and the opening of spring practice — a new starting quarterback, new offensive coordinator, and an entire new group of starting receivers.

David Piland is pretty comfortable though.

New offensive coordinator Mike Nesbitt’s playbook is very similar to the one that Piland worked with the past two seasons, and with UH graduating all four of last year’s starting receivers, Piland will move into the starting

lineup with the group he worked with last season as a backup.

“It’s a similar playbook,” Piland said. “I wouldn’t say it’s exactly the same, but it’s the same offense. It’s the air-raid, you’re going to throw the ball all over, but there’s still a lot of things to learn as a team.

“You’ll see a lot of new faces, but a lot of big plays.”

Piland looked sharp at practice on Monday afternoon. The practice reps that he had with potential starters at receiver, Dewayne Peace, Daniel Spen-cer, Mark Roberts, Isaiah Sweeney and Ronnie Williams last season has given him a head start on their timing.

“We have pretty good chemistry,”

Piland said. “We’re really on the same page about what we’re doing.”

After starting eight games as fresh-man, Piland redshirted last season when then-seniors Case Keenum and Cotton Turner returned. It was a great learning experience for Piland, but he is ready to now be a leader on the field and show what he can do.

“It’s been great,” he said. “All of guys look to me for leadership, which is great because I like to be in that position. Obviously from having played and finally getting the reins where I’m not a backup and having to play in somebody’s shoes, it’s great.

Gilbert RequenaTHE DAILY COUGAR

After spending almost the entire month on the road, the travel-weary Cougars will return home for only the second time this month to take on No. 21 Baylor in a mid-week matchup.

The contest gets underway at 6:30 p.m. tonight at Cougar Field.

“(Baylor) is one of the elite programs in the country; they’re one of the best programs in the state,” head coach Todd Whitting said. “Coach (Steve) Smith has one of the best teams that he’s had in a long time up there.

“This is going to be great to for our ballclub to play this tough opponent. I’m counting on our kids to come out and play

hard (tonight).”The Cougars have been playing hard

all season, but they have also been piling up the errors. Whitting said that this is the reason for the club’s record.

“Right now, what seems to happen to our ballclub is when we make a mistake, it becomes a huge mistake,” Whitting said. “We need to play better defense because when we play good defense it gives us a real good chance to win.

The Cougars are 9-0 when making one error or fewer and 1-12 when they make two or more errors.

Baylor (18-7, 6-0 Big 12) on the other hand has one of the stoutest defenses in the country. The Bears rank seventh in the NCAA in fi elding percentage with a .980 average. They have 14 errors in 225 attempts. UH on the other hand, ranks

211th in the NCAA with 32 errors in 211 attempts for a .957 fi elding percentage.

In the batter’s box, the UH offense has been just like the weather in Houston— one day its hot and the next day it cools off.

“That’s a pattern that goes with having new players and playing a lot of young players,” Whitting said. “We start anywhere from three to fi ve freshman at a time in our starting lineup.

“It’s a transition for those new players to show up and bring their ‘A-game’ every day.”

Baylor comes to town riding a seven-game winning streak, including a three-game sweep of Kansas where they outscored the Jayhawks 27-8.

The Cougars fi nd themselves in the midst of a three-match win streak as they used both ends of the excite-ment spectrum to reel off two wins this past week.

On Thursday, the Cougars steamrolled Prairie View A&M in a 7-0 shutout and won a hotly contested 4-3 match against Texas State on Sunday to improve to 10-6 this spring.

The Prairie View match was a makeup of last week’s rained out contest and UH dominated in all aspects of play.

“It’s always nice to get a win over a Division-I oppo-nent,” head coach John Severance said.

The Cougars were in control most of the afternoon as their top doubles pair of Giorgia Pozzan and Bryony Hunter came back from an early defi cit to sweep their round.

Maja Kazimieruk and Charlotte Phillips continued their dominant singles play as the Cougars swept that round as well.

“We’re expecting a battle against Texas State on Sun-day and we have to carry our momentum over against a team that has beaten some quality opponents this season,” Severance said of their next match

The result went down to the wire as UH ended the match on top with their seventh 4-3 result of the season. “I was thoroughly impressed with how we handled doubles today,” Severance said. “We trailed early at the top two positions but they battled through it which made the difference in the match.”

In doubles the pair of Giorgia Pozzan and Celia Fraser improved to 2-1 together, while Laura Ring and Liselot Koenen earned their seventh win of the season.

“In singles, Charlotte (Phillips) cleaned up her game a good bit and you can see how dominant she can be,” Severance said. “Bryony (Hunter) had a tough matchup, but put it all together in the third set and Maja contin-ues to be dominant.”

Maja Kazirmieruk has come on strong as she stands with an 11-3 overall record after earning her sixth-straight victory on Sunday.

The Cougars take on No. 29 Tulsa at 10 a.m. Saturday at the John E. Hoff courts.

FRONTIER FIESTA

‘unBlocked’ set to come undone

Darlene CamposTHE DAILY COUGAR

Frontier Fiesta 2012 kicked off Thursday with music, cheers, and marching from various campus sororities and fraternities.

The opening event started at 4 p.m. with a ceremonial ribbon cutting and parade at Robertson Stadium.

This year’s themes included Diversity Night, Cougar Red Friday, and Family Fun Day with Joe Kop-pel Military Appreciation Night.

Thursday’s Diversity Night included live music by a psyche-delic rock band from Argentina, Espantapajaros (Spanish for scarecrow), comedy acts, a belly dancing show and mariachi presentations.

“I thought this year’s Frontier Fiesta was pretty cool,” said Analicia Caylor, a petroleum engi-neering sophomore. “The store fronts were very well done; the live music was diverse.”

University of Houston utility staff member Wilson Torres, who

has been working on campus for a little more than two years, said there was more fun to be had this year.

“I felt that more people attended this year’s Frontier Fiesta than the previous one,” Torres said. “I enjoyed the music, perfor-mances, and variety shows during my breaks from serving hamburg-ers, hot dogs, nachos, barbecue and sandwiches to the public.”

Pharmacy senior Omar Qureshi, who tries to make it out every year, said this year “really rocked.”

“The music was awesome, the shows were great and the food was delicious. The carnival rides were also a nice touch to everything,” he said. “But most of all, I really appreciated the Military Apprecia-tion Night to honor our troops.”

It seems this year’s Frontier Fiesta was a successful time of diversity and fun. Though the celebrations are now over, next year’s Frontier Fiesta will be back on campus before we know it.

Jed OcotTHE DAILY COUGAR

For those who have yet to catch “F/16 Collective: unBlocked,” part of the 2012 FotoFest Biennial by University of Houston’s photography students, you have until Friday to check it out at The Jung Center.

The collective is comprised of members of UH’s 2012 Photogra-phy and Digital Media graduating class and serves as the group’s senior-thesis exhibition.

The show’s curator, Mary Magsamen of the Aurora Picture Show, chose the specifi c pieces displayed. Her job is to fi nd pieces that work well with the art of other students in the show and to layout a cohesive fl oor plan for the work.

Melissa Tran, one of the artists, said she loves what photography stands for.

To her, it is more than refer-encing a specifi c moment in time; it’s an art form that can be used just as successfully as any of the traditional arts to convey concep-tual thought processes and ideas, all while holding certain nostalgia within each photograph.

A lot of her recent work is

focused on idealizations of beauty and the gender roles associated with them.

“In the way the photographs have been mounted, they are treated as objects and, to some, reference hyper-realistic paintings,” Tran said. “Even as photographs, they appear hyper-realistic.”

Tran said that the quality of the work “lends to the unrealistic expectations that society gives to women,” for which she listed the push of cosmetics and accessories like false eyelashes as examples.

In her sculptural piece “Mimic (His & Hers),” Tran was inspired by an event at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston that featured contemporary artist Janine Antoni.

“I was inspired to make con-nections between mass-produced items that were made to replicate parts of the body for everyday use — specifi cally, as shown in my work, hangers as representational of shoulders.”

According to The Jung Center website, “unBlocked” references the UH School of Art’s Photog-raphy and Digital Media block program from which the 16 artists are graduating.

The students produced a wide range of contemporary work for the exhibition — everything from video and three-dimensional installations to a host of photo-graphic processes learned during their time at UH.

The works, the press release states, are both conceptual and documentary.

The members of F/16 Collec-tive are: Paolo Aninag, Michael Burgas, Brittney Connelly, Dan-ielle Fessler, Os Galindo, Vanessa Godden, Brittney Imwald-Mahar, Nicole Henderson, Daniela Hernandez, Fatmeh Hmaidan, Brittney Imwald-Mahar, Claudia Melgar, Gisela Parker, Thais Veris-simo, Megan Rath, Ian Russell and Tran.

Poet tickles, inspires crowdChristopher LopezTHE DAILY COUGAR

Frontier Fiesta always has a lot to offer students and on Thursday, with the help of the Mexican American Studies Student Orga-nization, a Hispanic-Polish American self-named “Pocho Joe” took to the stage to tickle funny bones.

Poet and comedian Joe Hernandez-Kolski, who has been featured on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, performed a good show that featured a lot of Hispanic heritage-based bits.

Hernandez, it seemed, designed his show in order to make you laugh and give a more

in-depth thought to college life and the future.

Along with humor, there was a serious side to his show, which provided some refl ection not usu-ally seen in comedy. Hernandez, aside from his comedic duties, is also a motivational speaker who visits universities and high schools across the country.

The parts of his show that involved the audience were well-done and well-received by all, which entertained and made for a decent laugh.

Overall, his witty remarks regarding the Hispanic heritage as well as standard observational humor made for a fun hour.
