Campus NewsDepartment of Social Work Awarded $900,000 Grant for TSU-S.H.A.P.E. Initiative

The department of Social Work at Texas Southern University was awarded a $900,000 grant from the Substance Abuse and

Mental Health Services Administration (SAM-HSA) in 2014. The grant was awarded to create more awareness about the dangers of sex, alcohol and drug misuse in African-American youth on campus and in the community.SAMHSA, an agency under the U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Services, spear-heads efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation with a mission to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness among America’s communities. Dr. Grace Loudd, a visiting professor at the university’s department of Social Work, wrote a proposal for the grant with a mission to bring forward an open and fearless discus-sion about sex and other topics considered taboo, especially among African Americans. Upon receiving the three-year research grant, the TSU-S.H.A.P.E. Initiative was born. “We want people to have this conver-

sation, besides having a service announcement or reading a pamphlet. We want to let people know that we can really stop this,” the program coor-dinator, Daniel Harris, Sr. said.

The major objective of the TSU-S.H.A.P.E. initiative is to build partnerships with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to implement educational and prevention programs that will lead to safer sex attitudes and prac-tices among the African-American youth, specifi-cally TSU students and the greater Third Ward com-munity.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported African-American youth to be one of the groups most severe-ly affected by HIV infec-tion in the United States in

2014. The center also reported the same demo-graphic representing 57 percent of all new HIV infections. Among the CBOs that the ini-tiative is working with were S.H.A.P.E. Com-munity Center (S.H.A.P.E), and Houston Area Community Services (HACS). S.H.A.P.E serves a predomi-nantly African-American base by providing cultural and educational resources, while HACS provides medical, behavioral, and hous-ing services for people of various income levels who have been diagnosed with HIV. The TSU-S.H.A.P.E. Initiative grant focuses on awareness and screening of HIV, Hepatitis C, alcohol and drug abuse. Students are able to receive free HIV and Hep C screen-ings five days a week. “A number of people think that if they have HIV, it’s a death sentence. The fact is HIV is treatable and those who have it still have a chance to pursue their goals and have children as long as they take their medications,” Harris said. The program has tested over 100 stu-dents on campus. Testing is free and confiden-tial, and students can get their results the same day. Harris hopes that even after the grant has run its three-year course, a culture of going for frequent HIV and Hep C testing will have been built among students and the community. “The goal is to stop the transmission especially among the ages of 18-24 in commu-nities of color,” Harris said. Screening of students and community members is conducted by HACS Testing and Promotion Specialists, Ariel Jones and Santita Hartsfield. Screening is done on Monday, Tues-day and Thursday from 9:00am to 5:00pm in Room 302 in the Public Affairs building, and at the Student Health Centre on Wednesday and Friday from 10:00am – 03:00pm. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 713-313-7426 and walk-ins are accept-ed too. Students that get tested are given free t-shirts and water bottles. The program is overseen by Dr. Loudd and Chair of the department of Social Work, Dr. Needha Boutte-Queen.

Hillary Clinton Uses Campus to “Get Out the Vote”

Last Saturday, TSU’s recreation center was the site for “Get Out the Vote”, one of Hill-ary Clinton’s rallies during her Texas campaign tour. For two hours, a crowd of supporters that filled the surface area of the Recreation Center’s basketball court listened to local campaign surrogates endorse Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State that is now aiming for sole Democratic candidacy in this year’s presiden-tial election. When the politician did appear on stage, she opened her 22-minute address by criti-cizing the new voter suppression laws passed by Republicans. The new laws, which include the elimination of early voting, will largely have an affect on people in communities of color. As a result, about 1.28 million people will not be able to vote in No-vember. “It’s a blast from the Jim Crow past, and we’re going to fight it, and we’re going to make it very clear,” Clinton said. “I thought we had won that battle back in the 1960s. To see it rear its ugly head is such a great disappointment. It’s one of the barriers that I intend to knock down.” Clinton highlighted all of her popular platforms, which included defense of the Afford-able Care Act, obtaining equal pay for women, raising income for middle class families, and non-discrimination for the disabled, ethnic minorities, and LGBT community. Clinton also reminded rally goers of her plan to make college more affordable for students at HBCU’s. Part of the politician’s proposal, worth 25 billion dollars, calls for students not having to take out loans thanks to federal state funding partnerships. “I’m also proud to be the only candidate

in this race with a real plan to support histori-cally black colleges and universities,” Clinton said.  “HBCUs have produced some of the finest lead-

ers in our country and its not just whose gradu-ated in the past its who’s that’s here now, often against great odds.” During the speech, Clinton also made mention of her Democratic nomination oppo-nent, Bernie Sanders. Clinton cited the Senator’s

single payer health care and free college tuition plan as unfeasible. “We both see the need for boldly pro-gressive solutions to solve our nation problems,”

Clinton said. “But I don’t think it’s right to look a person in the eyes who’s hurting and needs help, and tell them that if they vote for you, they will get $5,000 of health care but only have to pay $500 for it. You shouldn’t say that unless you can really deliver it.” Before and during Clinton’s speech, the large crowd would often erupt into celebratory chants of the politician’s name. East End activist Belinda Castro, 44, was a part of the many attendees enthused by Clin-ton’s rally appearance. “I thought she did a great job,” Castro said. “She gave me hope again to make sure to volunteer more hours and get people to the polls to vote for her.” Kasia Mikurda, 59, had been following Clinton’s political career since 1992 after her departure from her native Poland. After the rally, Mikurda expressed her excitement to grant Clinton her vote in her first election as a U.S. citizen. “It’s very emotional for me,” Mikurda said. “She was always a part of my life. And having now finally the pos-sibility to have her in the White House as President, I mean [that’s] a dream come

true.” The results of Clinton’s campaigning efforts in Texas may soon be revealed. The state’s voting primary will be on March 1.

Cuba Gooding Jr. & John Singleton Visit Texas Southern University for HBCU Media Tour

TSU was the first stop in a collegiate tour hosted by Fox’s HBCU Media Alliance on Monday. Sonya Lockett, a representative for the or-ganization, hopes that students can use the media alliance to network and grow their careers as future media professionals. “We really understand the power of the tal-ent that comes out of HBCUs,” Lockett said.“We know how talented and creative and amaz-ing students are at HBCUs, so we at Fox re-ally wanted to make sure that we helped create a pipeline to cultivate that talent for those people who have taken interest in careers in entertainment

and media.”  During the event, students gathered in the Rod Paige Education auditorium for an exclusive screening of “American Crime Story: The People vs OJ”, a critically acclaimed and highly rated series on FX. After viewing the yet to be aired episode, “The Race Card”, a panel discussion was held. Among a few subjects, Dr. Rockell Burton-Brown, featured actor Cuba Gooding Jr., and the show’s guest director John Singleton, discussed the show’s parallels to present day society and their experience in the film industry. At the conclusion of the panel, students

were given an opportunity to question both Single-ton and Gooding Jr. One of the students asked Singleton what excites him about filmmaking. “I’m still making movies that I wanted to see as a kid,” Singleton said. “That’s what I do.” The rest of Fox’s HBCU Media Tour in-cludes Morehouse and Howard University during this month.

“I’m still making movies that I wanted to see as a kid.

That’s what I do.”

MBB: Fighting Tigers Route Alabama A&M, 77-54, on Senior Night It was Senior Night on Saturday, and everything went right for the Tigers as they would demonstrate why they are the powerhouse of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. After a narrow victory, 54-52, at Universi-ty of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the Tigers had returned to the H&PE Arena to host Alabama A&M. Texas Southern is undefeated, 8-0, on the Robert More-land Court, and Saturday would not be any differ-ent. The Tigers cruised to a, 77-54, victory against the Bulldogs. “Well they’re like my sons…We want to do something special [for them] we want to make sure we stay focused on being the best basketball team we can be,” said Texas Southern Tigers head coach, Mike Davis on his graduating senior class. Texas Southern honored its five seniors for their hard work and dedication to the pro-gram. Senior guard, Orlando Coleman, led the way for the Tigers with a game-high 21 points, including five made field goals from beyond the arc. Coleman managed to pull down 12 rebounds, one of which being the play of the game, where he came flying in off a Malcolm Riley miss for a crowd-pleasing jam. “I just knew it was late in the game…I just crashed [the boards]…the Lord blessed it that it bounced the right way, and I just slammed it in,” said senior Orlando Coleman, on his high-flying dunk. Another senior guard, Chris Thomas, initiated offense thoroughly throughout the game for a career-high, 10 assists. Thomas also chipped in with 15 points, awarding him a double-double. Thomas is the team leading scorer with 15 points per game. “We just came out and played. We came out in the first half kind of slow, but in the second half we stepped it up,” said senior guard Chris Thomas. Senior forward and sixth man, Jose Ro-driguez, played 28 minutes and helped the Tigers with 13 points off the bench. Senior guard, David Blanks chipped in with eight points and four as-sists, despite playing with flu-like symptoms. Riley had five points and seven rebounds in 20 minutes of play. With this win the Texas Southern Fight-ing Tigers advance to 14-1 in SWAC play. They play their final regular season game at the HPE Arena on Monday against Alabama State. After that they go on the road to face Southern and

wrap up the regular season with a visit to Alcorn State University.

WBB: Lady Tigers Celebrate Seniors, Cruise by Alabama A&M Lady Bulldogs, 70-41 The Texas Southern Lady Tigers easily got by Alabama A&M, 70-41, on Saturday, when they returned to the HP&E Arena.The Lady Tigers celebrated their four seniors on this special night, respectfully paying homage to them for the years they each gave to the university. What better way to acknowledge them by getting a 29-point blowout victory, a performance that follows-up a, 57-51, win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. “I was actually excited about our girls’ play, I thought we came out and executed well. I think we gave up three points in the first quarter and 12 in the second,” said Texas Southern Lady Tigers head coach Johnetta Hayes-Perry. The Lady Tigers were led by their leading scorer Keiana Vines with 16 points, eight re-bounds, and she denied five shots. Vines averages 17.1 points per game and a team-high 7.2 re-bounds on 59% shooting from the field. Vines is a top candidate for the SWAC Most Valuable Player award. “We’re ready, that’s all I can say, is we’re ready,” said senior Keiana Vines, on facing Ala-bama State and eventually heading into SWAC tournament play. Brianna Sidney, senior guard, scored 13 points for the Lady Tigers. Sidney, who leads the SWAC in three made per game with two, knocked down three of them on Saturday night against the Lady Bulldogs. Sidney picked the ball away three times as well. For Sidney, it was a good response game after the sluggish game against Arkansas Pine-Bluff when she scored five points. “We came to play. It was our senior night, we came out with high energy and ready to play,” said senior Brianna Sidney, “We play defense very well and we executed our plays,” said Sidney. The Lady Tigers have focused on defense all season long. Two of the top defenders on the team, seniors, Ladeyh Forte and Toni Cheadle, were locked in defensively wrecking havoc on the floor. Cheadle held Lady Bulldog’s, Janie Myles, sixth leading scorer in the SWAC (14.6 ppg), to two points and four turnovers. Forte helped to force Alabama A&M’s guards to commit 10 of the team’s 27 turnovers. “My best thing is defense, and that’s the key to the game,” said senior guard Ladeyh Forte, on her contribution to the team.

Cheadle chipped in with eight points and two steals. “We have great coaches that will set up to score easily, play great defense. If we just focus on that everyday then we should have no problem for years to come,” said senior Toni Cheadle, about the future of the program.

The Lady Tigers face Alabama State on Monday, as they wrap up their two-game home stand and the final home games of the 2016 SWAC regular season. If they win that game, they will clinch the SWAC regular season title. The Lady Tigers are currently 13-2, and stand a top of the standings. The Lady Tigers look to round out the SWAC on the road against Southern and Alcorn State.

Men’s T&F: Tigers Celebrate Back To Back SWAC Indoor Track & Field Championship Titles

Texas Southern’s Men’s Track and Field team recaptured the Southwestern Athletic Conference Indoor Track and Field Championship, the second year in a row they’ve achieved the title.The Tigers won with 122 points as a team, defeat-ing Alabama State by 23 points. Coach Clyde Duncan was awarded the 2016 SWAC Indoor Coach of the Year.

“It’s a really good experience, everybody con-tributed this time from all the sophomores and juniors, to all the seniors,” said Demetrious Williams, participant in the long jump and triple jump.

Williams also coaches the Track and Field team at TSU.

“When I first got here, TSU was a little lacksidasi-cal with the program, coming from us building, buying into the concept that coach Duncan has given us to always stay focused no matter what the circumstances may be,” said Deleterious Williams

The Tigers had a grand day in the field events. Texas Southern’s Travis Sanders won the High Jump field event, jumping 2.06 meters. The SWAC record is 2.18m. The bar is set at 1.74m and is in raised four centimeters increments. Jawa-lyn Brooks won the Pole Vault event and Tevin Kimble captured the Triple Jump honors by jump-ing 15.08m.

The next meet for the Tigers is at Sam Houston State University beginning on March 5th.

Life & Style

Spring Break is about enjoying the sunny weather and taking a break from studying and classes but let’s be honest, as a college student you have to budget. It sounds nice to travel across the country and visit all of the tropical items that life has to offer but you can do it and still have a budget.

Here are some of the best tips to enjoying your spring break vaca-tion without breaking the bank and regretting it later.

Plan ahead

The reason that most people tend to spend more money that necessary on a trip is that they don’t plan ahead. It’s good to be spontaneous about life but you can still plan and budget while doing so. The more you plan ahead, the more time that you have to find the deals that are sometimes hidden or only shown a year or two before.

Groupon is your Best Friend!If you are a procrastinator when it comes to plan-ning, make Groupon your best friend! Groupon

is a group-based traveling app that allows you to purchase products, vacations and everything else that you need. Simply download the app to your

phone and set alerts for destinations that you may be looking at. The deals sale fast so if you see some-thing that you like, buy it! They have trips rang-

ing from $69 to $100 a night in destinations such as Florida, Punta Cana, etc.

The Bigger the Group, The Small the PriceTraveling in large groups definitely has its perks. If you’re traveling with a group of friends out of town, Groupon will have the right prices for you. Hotel and traveling fees can be split down the middle, bringing the price per person down lower and lower.

Tropical Isn’t Always The Best

Tropical destinations sound so ideal when planning spring break vacations but it’s not always bud-

get friendly. Look into other locations that are not so popular for spring break, yet will fit perfectly into your ideal vacation.

Spring break is right around the corner and will be here before you blink your eyes. You don’t want to be unprepared for this year’s sunniest weathers and cool breezes. Whether you are sailing across the seas of Puerto Rico or taking a trip up the street to Galveston, these are you must-haves for the break:

A Beachy DressSpring break is all about enjoying the cool and sunny weather, especially if you’re from upstate. Grab an inexpensive beachy maxi dress from either Forever 21, HM or if you want to save money and use more towards your vacation, stop at Ross. Ross has some of the lowest of lowest maxi dress prices that are cheap, yet fashionable.

A Good Bathing Suit The beach is a perfect spot to show off all of your hard work from the winter. In order to show that off flawlessly, you have to have a good swimsuit. A good swimsuit is an investment. Granted you can go the cheaper route with them but I suggest that

if you can splurge a little on your swimsuit, do it! Some swimsuits if bought on the cheaper side, it will definitely look like it.

Cover UpsA cover up a day will take you a long way. Cover-ups are perfect for spring break because you can go from the beach to the lunch with friends in a mat-ter of 2 minutes without even changing. They come in all lengths and shapes. You can get them high-low or floor length. Buy one that is long and chiffon material to achieve the ultimate ‘spring break’ look.

Easy Evening LooksSpring break is all about enjoying the moment so don’t spend too much time stressing over what to wear. Whether you’re joining a group of friends for dinner or having a night out on the town, think simple! Think transitional outfits when you’re packing. Visit one of your local retail stores and pick up a good inexpensive pair of denim shorts, a white v-neck shirt, a blazer and go to dinner. The

key to this look is over accessorizing!! Your acces-sories will take this cheap, yet simple look from boring to glamorous. A nice maxi dress can take you from daytime to night in no time.

Accessories, Accessories, Accessories!It may sound crazy but accessories can take any outfit from blah to bam! The simplest accessories whether it’s a statement piece necklace or a simple bracelet, it can be the perfect addition to your outfit. If you have on a simple t-shirt and jeans, let your accessories do the talking for you. They will compliment your outfit just right. They are very versatile and just by adding or subtracting one or two pieces; you’ll be ready in no time.

With spring break being less than 2 weeks away, you don’t want to be the procrastinator shopper that’s shopping 2 days before you trip. Stop by your nearest fashion retail store and pick up this break’s must-haves.

Super Tuesday: Clinton, Trump look to pull away from rivalsCourtesy of the Associated Press

Republican Donald Trump and Demo-crat Hillary Clinton are eyeing an opportunity to pull away from their rivals on Super Tuesday, a delegate-rich dash across the country that could accelerate their march toward the general election. Voters from Vermont to Colorado, Alaska to American Samoa and a host of states in between were heading to polling places and caucus sites on the busiest day of the 2016 primaries. The contests come at a turbulent moment for Republicans as they grapple with the prospect of Trump becoming the party’s nominee. Rivals Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are engaged in a frantic effort to stop the billionaire - with Rubio in par-ticular lobbing surprisingly personal attacks - but it was unclear whether they’d made their move too late. But Trump said Tuesday that Rubio should drop out of the race if he doesn’t win any of the Super Tuesday contests.

He has to get out,” he told Fox News. “He hasn’t won anything.” Like Trump, Clinton has won three of the four early voting contests, including a thrashing of rival Bernie Sanders in South Carolina on Satur-day. Her victory there was due to overwhelming support from black voters, putting her in position for a strong showing in several Southern states with large African-American electorates that vote Tuesday. Clinton has increasingly turned her atten-tion to Trump in recent days, casting herself as a civil alternative to the insults and bullying that have consumed the Republican race.

“What we can’t let happen is the scapegoat-ing, the flaming, the finger pointing that is going on the Republican side,” she told voters gathered in Springfield, Massachusetts. “It really undermines our fabric as a nation. So, I want to do everything I can in this campaign to set us on a different course.”

Sanders, who has energized young voters with his call for a political revolution, was seek-ing to stay close to Clinton in the South and pick up victories in states including Minnesota and his home state of Vermont. But Sanders faces tough questions about whether he can rally minorities that are core Democratic voters. After he voted Tuesday in his hometown of Burlington, Vermont, Sanders told reporters that if voter turnout is high “we are going to do well. If not, we’re probably going to be struggling.” Democrats will vote in 11 states and Amer-ican Samoa on Tuesday, with 865 delegates up for grabs. Republicans will vote in 11 states, with 595 delegates at stake. Trump was seeking to sweep the South, which would be a massive blow for Cruz. The Texas senator, a favorite of the region’s social conserva-tives and evangelical Christians, expected the South to be his firewall, but now is simply hoping to emerge with a victory in his home state. Rubio’s goal on Super Tuesday is even more modest. He’s seeking to stay competitive in the delegate count and hopes to pull off a win in his home state of Florida on March 15. The Florida senator has cast himself as Republicans’ best chance to win in a general elec-

tion and has received a flood of endorsements from GOP officials after other more mainstream candi-dates dropped out. But he’s failed to win a state so far, raising questions about his strategy for topping Trump. Republicans spent months largely letting Trump go unchallenged, wrongly assuming that his populist appeal with voters would fizzle. Now party leaders are divided between those who pledge to fall in line behind Trump if he wins their party’s nomination and others who insist they can never back him. An Associated Press survey of GOP sena-tors and governors across the country showed just under half of respondents would not commit to backing Trump if he’s the nominee. Their reluc-tance foreshadowed a potentially extraordinary split in the party this fall. “If he becomes the nominee the Demo-crats are going to savage him, no question about it,” GOP Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch said. His Republican colleague from Arizona, Jeff Flake, said he was “still holding out hope” that he wouldn’t have to make the choice about supporting Trump. The worries among Republicans appeared to grow after Trump briefly refused to disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke during a television interview. Trump said he had not under-stood the interviewer who first raised the question about Duke, and he did later repudiate him. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who said Tues-day he is trying to stay out of the “day-to-day ups and downs of the primary,” nonetheless took time on the busiest voting day of the year to date to say anyone who wants to be the Republican presi-dential nominee must reject any racist group or individual. “When I see something that runs counter to who we are as a party and a country I will speak up. So today I want to be very clear about some-thing: If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican Party, there can be no evasion and no games. They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry,” Ryan said. States holding voting contests in both parties Tuesday are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia. Republicans vote in Alaska and Democrats in Colorado. Democrats also have a contest in American Samoa and for Democrats Abroad.
