Moving from aspiration to trans-

formational action, University of

Houston System Chancellor Renu
Khator has announced the appoint-
ment of a Sugar Land Transition
Steering Committee that will de-
fne pathways for the transition of
the University of Houston-Victo-
ria (UHV) and the UH Sugar Land
campus.
The committee and work groups,
which will include high-profle
educators, alumni, community and
corporate leaders, and elected of-
fcials, will work to fulfll three
overarching goals the UH System
has established for the transition:
To support UHVs goal of be-
coming a destination university
To build a viable branch cam-
pus of UH in Sugar Land
To explore an organizational
arrangement that meets the UH
Systems need to serve its extend-
ed communities with speed, inno-
vation and fexibility
The transition committee is
headed by Dana Rooks, dean of
libraries and Elizabeth D. Rock-
well Chair at the University of
Houston Libraries, who will serve
as executive planning director.
The structure includes a steering
committee, leadership committee
and four work groups representing
UH Victoria, chaired by Charles
Alcorn, director of corporate and
foundation relations at UHV; UH
Sugar Land, chaired by Robert
McPherson, dean of the College
of Education at UH; University of
Houston, chaired by Earl Smith,
interim chief health offcer at UH;
and the UH System, chaired by
William Staples, president of UH-
Clear Lake. Richie Hunter, associ-
ate vice chancellor/associate vice
president for University marketing
and communication, will lead stra-
tegic communications.
Appointment of the committee
follows recent action by the UH
System Board of Regents autho-
rizing UH to expand programs in
Sugar Land and relocate a large
segment of its College of Technol-
ogy to the UH Sugar Land cam-
pus. The board action came at the
recommendation of a UH Sugar
Land Task Force report that set in
motion plans to make UH the sole
UH System institution delivering
programs at the Sugar Land Cam-
pus.
As UH expands programs at
Sugar Land, UH-Victoria and
UH-Clear Lake will incrementally
cease delivery of their courses at
the Sugar Land campus. The exist-
ing nursing program that UH-Vic-
toria has offered at UH Sugar Land
will be transferred to UH and be-
come part of the newly organized
UH Health Science Center.
The UH System has a unique
opportunity to re-evaluate its over-
all mission of providing affordable
education to as many students as

NALEO Educational Fund Releases Latino Electorate Projections and New
Report on the Potential Impact of Voting Laws in 2014 and Beyond
Six months before Election
Day, the National Association of
Latino Elected and Appointed
Offcials (NALEO) Educational
Fund released turnout projections
for Latino voters this November
and the fndings of a new policy
paper assessing the potential im-
pact of voting law changes on
the Latino electorate in 2014 and
beyond. The event, which also
included the release of a national
poll focused on voting rights sup-
port, took place this morning at
the National Press Club in Wash.,
D.C.
Our democracy thrives when
all its citizens are able to partici-
pate fully in the nations political
system, said Arturo Vargas, NA-
LEO Educational Fund Executive
Director. We need to be promot-
ing policies that make voting and
registering to vote more accessi-
ble, and not less accessible, to the
nations second largest population
group and all qualifed U.S. citi-
zens.
The report entitled Latinos and
the Voting Rights Act (VRA): Pro-
tecting Our Nations Democracy
Then and Now focuses on the
potential impact of the bipartisan
Voting Rights Amendment Act
(VRAA) legislation on restoring
protections for Latino voters and
the strength of the VRA follow-
ing the blow dealt by the Supreme
Court in its 2013 decision in Shel-
by County v. Holder.
The new analysis from NALEO
Educational Funds report found
the following:
Nearly seven million Latinos
eligible to vote residing in juris-
dictions that were previously sub-
ject to preclearance pre-Shelby
Co. are currently without proac-
tive protections under the VRA.
VRAA legislation would re-
store preclearance protections
to more than 4.5 million Latinos
eligible to vote - nearly two-thirds
(65 percent) of those covered be-
fore Shelby Co.
Under the VRAA, there are
four states that would be required
to submit changes to voting proce-
dures for preclearance review prior
to implementation.
These states, which include
Ga., La., Miss. and Texas, would
be required to submit changes to
voting procedures for preclearance
for at least 10 years.
An additional 24 jurisdictions
in 12 states could also become
subject to preclearance upon pas-
sage of the VRAA; approximately
140,000 Latinos eligible to vote
reside in these 24 jurisdictions.
In addition, the report found that
the VRAA would provide new
narrowly-tailored voting rights
protections including:
More than 14 million Latinos
eligible to vote who live in ju-
risdictions that provide Spanish-
language assistance under Section
203 of the VRA would beneft
New report nds VRAA legislation would restore protections to 4.5 million Latinos who lost proactive protections under the VRA
post-Shelby Co.; More than 7.8 million Latino voters are expected to head to the polls this November

Students from UHVs rst freshman class
ready to graduate
Ashley Winegeart isnt afraid of
being frst.
On Nov. 19, 2009, she became
the frst freshman to sign with the
University of Houston-Victoria
softball team. The Corpus Christi
native was one of UHVs frst
freshman starting classes in fall
2010, when the university began
offering classes for freshmen and
sophomores. Soon she will be one
of the universitys frst graduates
who have attended UHV all four
years of college.
Its pretty cool to be a part of
history, Winegeart said. Its grat-
ifying to be one of the frst students
to attend UHV for four years.
A total of seven UHV students
who started at the university in
fall 2010 have applied to gradu-
ate on May 10. Joining Winegeart
are Isaac Babalola and Kristina
Droz, both of Missouri City; Me-
gan Carter of Woodsboro; Amber
Hermes of Hallettsville; Danielle
Mapps of Fresno; and Vanessa
Plasencia of Rosenberg.
Umaima Mal of Denison be-
came the frst freshman who start-
ed in fall 2010 to graduate. She fn-
ished her degree in summer 2013.
Four other students who started in
fall 2010 graduated in December.
They are Marley Moehrig of Vic-
toria, Linda Nguyen of Houston,
Danielle Delgado of San Antonio
and Lauren Brister of Palacios.
Another 49 students who started
in fall 2010 are still enrolled at
UHV and working toward their
degrees.
UHV will hold two graduation
ceremonies in Victoria. Both will
take place in Faith Family Church,
2002 E. Mockingbird Lane, the
largest indoor facility available in
Victoria. The 9 a.m. ceremony will
be for graduates of the schools of
Arts & Sciences and Education &
Human Development. The 1 p.m.
ceremony will be for the schools
of Business Administration and
Nursing. Victoria Mayor Paul Po-
lasek will deliver the keynote ad-
dress at both ceremonies.
UHV was an upper-level institu-
tion for 37 years after its founding
in 1973. Freshman recruitment ef-
forts began after Texas Gov. Rick
Perry signed House Bill 1056 in
June of 2009 to allow UHV to
admit underclassmen for the frst
time in fall 2010.
When I frst chose UHV, I liked
that I could be part of the frst
group of freshmen and start some-
thing new, Babalola said. Now,
being part of the frst freshmen to
graduate is a big milestone. I can
say I was there from the very be-
ginning.
Jeffrey Cass, UHV provost and
vice president for academic af-
fairs, said commencement will
mark another banner day on the
universitys road to being a desti-
nation university.
Im proud of these students for
all they have accomplished the
past four years, he said. It takes

courage to choose to come to a
university that had never admit-
ted underclassmen before. In the
classroom, sports felds and stu-
dent organizations, these students
have displayed their intellect, tal-
ent and perseverance. Its an honor
to bestow them with diplomas.
Babalola said the last four years
have gone by fast. He lived in Vic-
toria for the frst three but moved
back to his hometown of Missouri
City for his senior year. He takes
classes online and at UH Sugar
Land, where UHV offers many of
the programs.
Living on campus during my
freshman year was a big change
because it was my frst time away
from home, Babalola said. It
required me to be more indepen-
dent and more disciplined with my
time. During my sophomore and
junior years, I became wiser about
college. My professors and class-
mates have all made an impact on
me. I dont regret anything. The
college experience at UHV has
made me a better person.
Babalola said his grades were a
work in progress the frst year at
UHV.
In the beginning, I was stuck,
but I learned to lean on the re-
sources given, such as the Aca-
demic Center and my professors,
he said. What I love about UHV
is the faculty and staff really care
about students futures. They en-
courage me to push myself to be
better inside and outside of the
classroom.
Winegeart also said one of her
favorite aspects of attending UHV
was getting to know her profes-
sors. She will earn a Bachelor of
Business Administration with a
health care administration concen-
tration. Her next step is graduate
school at Texas Womens Uni-
versity in Denton, where she will
pursue dual masters degrees in
business administration and health
systems management.
Winegeart has won a number
of academic of accolades, includ-
ing twice being named to the Col-
lege Sports Information Directors
of America All-District team. She
was chosen as a 2013 Daktronics-
National Association of Intercol-
legiate Athletics Scholar Athlete.
On the feld, UHVs starting short-
stop is the university career leader
in games played, games started,
at bats and walks. Winegeart was
named the UHV Softball Player of
the Year during Mondays Jaguar
athletic banquet.
Winegeart said it took discipline
and time management skills to
excel in the classroom before and
during softball season. She credits
UHVs softball coaches for em-
phasizing academics. Carter and
Droz also are softball players.
Its nice to be able to walk
across the stage with my team-
mates, Winegeart said. Our soft-
ball team works as a family.
Babalola will earn a Bachelor of
Business Administration May 10.
He plans on enrolling in UHVs
Master of Business Administration
program. While he isnt sure what
type of business career is right for
him, hes confdent that the UHV
faculty and his fellow students will
help him fgure it out.
If you are disciplined and do
the work, then UHVs professors
are happy to help you understand
the material, Babalola said. My
classmates also had an impact on
my education. Life is all about re-
lationships. When you have those
connections, windows of oppor-
tunities are open for jobs, intern-
ships and volunteer programs.
Winegeart said Alex Gonzalez
and Brenda Leal-Flores, two high
school seniors from her alma ma-
ter, Corpus Christi Carroll High
School, are coming to play softball
at UHV next season. As the ffth
freshman class, they will have a
better idea about what life is like
at UHV compared with fall 2010
when Winegeart and Babalola ar-
rived.
I tell high school students that
UHV is a very friendly univer-
sity, Winegeart said. Professors
are willing to get to know you,
work with you and help you suc-
ceed.

UH, from pg. 1
by John Turner
Its unsettling to think of our
homes as targets but thats ex-
actly how criminals see them. It
is never too late to start improving
your home security and make your
home a hard target.
Now what?
Lets start with curb appeal.
Is your home appealing to a bur-
glar? Are the windows and doors
blocked by overgrown vegetation?
If so, its time for some trimming.
Make sure the windows and doors
are visible from the street. A good
rule of thumb is the three seven
rule. Your shrubs should be no
taller than three feet and the low-
est limbs of your trees should be
no lower than seven feet. If you
just cant bear to trim your shrubs
down that low at least clean out the
bottom foot or so, in order to see
the feet of someone who may be
hiding behind them.
How about lighting? Your newly
trimmed shrubs and trees make the
house more visible during the day
but night changes things up a bit.
At a minimum, you need to have
lights with at least 60 watt bulbs
at every entrance to your house
(anyone standing there needs to be
clearly visible). If you want more
illumination, motion detector or
dusk to dawn lights strategically
placed for maximum effciency are
a good investment.
At this point we can move on
to doors and windows. All exte-
rior doors, including the door that
leads into the house from the ga-
rage, should be solid wood or met-
al clad at least 1 3/8 thick. They
should be equipped with deadbolt
locks that have, at minimum, a 1
bolt. If there is glass within 40 of
the lock, a double cylinder dead-
bolt (keyed on both sides) should
be used.
Most door hardware is installed
with screws. One of the cheap-
est and most effective ways to
strengthen a door is simply to re-
place all of the screws with 3
screws. This increases the strength
of the door as the screws now pen-
etrate the door frame, not just the
trim.
You may also consider a door
viewer (peephole). A wide angle
viewer with a minimum of 180
degree visibility is recommended.
Regarding windows, in addi-
tion to a working latch, a second-
ary lock should be added. This can
be as simple as a wooden dowel in
the track or as elaborate as burglar
bars.
If your home has a sliding glass
door it requires a secondary lock
as well. Like windows, a dowel in
the track is all that is needed. Also,
to prevent lifting the door out of
the track, a screw, inserted into the
header track just far enough to al-
low the door to slide will suffce.
If you are concerned about the
security of your home, the Victoria
Police Department provides free
security surveys. We can check
your current security and offer
suggestions for improvement.

Prevention Unit. For more infor-

from eligibility for assignment of
federal observers.
The more than 25 million La-
tinos eligible to vote throughout
the country would gain additional
opportunities to request that courts
impose preclearance for a limited
period of time on jurisdictions,
that commit voting rights viola-
tions.
Experts have found there is
widespread support among Ameri-
cans for protecting the right to
vote and modernizing the VRA. A
NALEO survey of more than 1000
individuals in 10 states (Ariz.,
Fla., Ga., Miss., N.C., Ohio, Pa.,
S.C., Texas, and Va.) found that 83
percent of likely voters agree that
having a fully functioning VRA
is critical to making sure every
Americans voting rights are pro-
tected. A majority of likely voters
polled, including 63 percent of Re-
publicans, also rejected the notion
that there is no longer a need for a
law protecting the rights of voters
in this country. Full poll results
can be found here.
As the Latino population be-
comes a larger segment of the
electorate, it is increasingly impor-
tant for Latinos to be able to make
their voices heard at the ballot box
without confronting discrimina-
tory barriers or obstacles. In the
2010 mid-term Congressional
elections, the Latino electorate
played a critical role, helping de-
termine the outcome of U.S. Sen-
ate races in Colo. and Nev. This
November, Latinos are once again
posed to play a decisive role. NA-
LEO Educational Fund projects
that 7.8 million Latinos will cast
ballots in Election 2014, account-
ing for nearly 8 percent of the na-
tions voters.
Vargas went on to say, In the
lead up to the election, NALEO
Educational Fund will be hard at
work ensuring that Latino vot-
ers have the information they
need to cast ballots on November
4th. The bilingual operators of our
toll-free voter information hotline,
888-VE-Y-VOTA, will continue
to serve as a resource to any voter
with questions or concerns about
any aspect of the electoral pro-
cess, 12 hours per day, 7 days per
week.
