The UH Department of Public Safety’s Lost and Found unit receives so many umbrellas that they have resorted to closet space rather than drawers to house them. The Lost and Found is also home to multitudes of cell phones, glasses, textbooks, laptops and keys, among many other things.
With a new computer database for lost items, the DPS is fi nding more success in reuniting students with their belongings.
“We have revamped our Lost and Found system, as far as the data entry and retrieval,” Lt. Patrick Lollie said. “The older system (made it) hard to connect a known property to a person. Now, it’s easier to connect.”
In the new system, a lost item goes into a electronic database that can be searched by different criteria.
“Now it will give me everything that matches that criteria, instead of having to try to chase down a piece of paper that has that description on it,” Lollie said.
While the Lost and Found has a high success rate with unique and valuable items, students do not always come to claim the belongings that turn up. After a certain amount of time, the items are donated to charity.
“We didn’t just throw it in the trash or say, ‘Hey this is nice. I’ll keep that,’” Lollie said. “It would probably make you feel good to know that it went to a worthy cause.”
Students can turn in lost items at any of the loca-tions on campus and check if a lost item has turned up by coming into the UHDPS station or calling over the phone.
With the new system, all Lost and Found locations are now connected to where items can be tracked, especially if someone came in to report a missing item.
“We’ll put that person’s information in, and if we get it later, we can call,” Lollie said. “It’s easier now for us to get it back to them.”

The C.T. Bauer College of Business and UH Athletics have collaborated again this semester for their annual Bauer Business Leaders Program.
President of the Houston Athletic Foun-dation Matthew Houston helped start this program, which is in its second year. The objective is to try to connect UH student athletes with important Houston business leaders.
The agenda involves allowing two indi-viduals to be guest sideline coaches at UH football home games. This time, James Bashaw, president and owner of Houston-
based financial services firm James E. Bashaw & Co., and David Sheives, chief operating officer of independent member firm Grainer, Donnelly & Desroches, got a chance to expe-rience everything a coach does at Saturday’s victory over Tulane.
“It was a fantastic opportunity,” Bashaw said. “We got to see the walk-through and the plays, and we got to meet the coaches.”
During breakfast, Bashaw and Sheives got the opportunity to meet the players. The two men have been involved with Bauer for about five years and met at UH 30 years ago.
“We like Cougar football,” Sheives said. They both have always been Cougar fans

PAKISTANDrones from above intercept attacks
Missiles launched by target drones struck areas in Pakistan occupied by militants Monday and Tuesday. CNN reported that at least one al-Qaida commander was killed in the process while numerous other sources indi-cate that planned terror attacks by al-Qaida may have been interrupted by the strikes. The drone attacks were conducted as part of a joint operation between U.S., U.K., French and Ger-man intelligence agencies. Sources state that an impending "Mumbai-style" bombing was feared to happen to metropolitan areas in Europe. A series of assaults involving semiauto-matic weapons and suicide bombers killed 166 people in Mumbai in 2008. Sheikh Mohammad Fateh al Masri, considered to be a senior operational commander for al-Qaida, was killed in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan during the missile drops. No further information was released.
AUSTINUT shooter kills self, alarms campus
A University of Texas at Austin student opened fi re Tuesday morning and then caused the only fatality in the incident by shooting and killing himself. The shooter has been identi-fi ed as 19-year-old Colton Joshua Tooley. Reports state Tooley wore a mask and fi red several shots before entering a campus library where he shot himself. A relative identifi ed only as Marcus said in a brief statement that Tooley was an excellent student and did not exhibit any sign that such
an occurence could happen. The cam-pus was locked down Tuesday, but will resume normal operation today.
NORTH KOREAKim Jong Il promotes son to power
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il named his youngest son, Kim Jong Un, as vice chairman of the Workers' Party Central Committee on Tuesday. He was also promoted to a four-star general, according to the Korean Central News Agency. Although expected to be-come Kim Jong Il's successor, very little is known about the twenty-something-year-old Kim Jong Un. Information is rarely released about offi cials in the government.
FLORIDAMan tickles Elmo in the wrong spot
A man attacked another man dressed in an Elmo suit Tuesday. The attacker walked away with two broken fi ngers and was arrested for a mental health evaluation, reported CNN. The altercation occurred inside a Winter Park, Fla. guitar store when the suspect walked in and began con-ducting himself aggressively toward customers and employees inside the store. When the suspect got around to attacking the Elmo-clad man, he returned the blows and threw the attacker into a glass case, shattering it. The Elmo man walked away un-scathed. The man dressed in the furry attire had been hired to perform at a children's event.

UH Opera starts season at local barSara NicholsTHE DIALY COUGAR
Given the age-old myth that high-pitched opera voices can shatter glass, a bar seemed an odd location for an opera show.
However, no wine glasses were broken Saturday evening when opera ensembles of up to three people performed at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck, a Houston legacy and a well-known pub and live music venue in the Upper Kirby neighborhood.
The UH Moores Opera Center held its “What’s Opera, Duck?” night at the dim-lit bar, showcasing a number of the program’s senior and master’s students, who had to be 21 to perform at the bar. The evening of music benefi ted the Moores Opera Center, which is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its opening in 1986.
“What’s Opera, Duck?” contained a variety of musical performances — from traditional opera pieces to musical theater, including a number from the long running musical adaptation of the novel “Les Misérables,” — accom-panied only by a piano.
The center’s founder and direc-tor Buck Ross introduced each ensemble group, some of which were comprised of current or ex-Mucky Duck employees. Ross also spoke about this year’s shows at the Moores Opera Center.
The fi rst offi cial show of the 2010-2011 season, “La Vie Parisi-enne” by Jacques Offenbach, will run from Oct. 22-25. The Moores Opera Center will also revamp and modernize Mozart’s well-known opera “The Magic Flute,” which will be performed from Jan. 27-31, 2011.
Perhaps the season’s most anticipated moment will come in April 2011 when the Moores Opera Center will present the fi rst Texas production of Daniel Cátán’s “Il Postino.”
“Our season proves that opera does not have to be stuffy. We promise that you will laugh, you will cry and you will hear memorable music in Houston’s best theater,” Ross said in a press release. “It is an enormous honor for the University of Houston to be asked to do the second production of ‘Il Postino.’”
All performances are held in the UH Moores Opera House. Tickets are $15 for general admission, but are $10 for students and senior citi-zens. A season pass is also available for $45. For more information on the UH Moores Opera Center, call 713-743-3009 or visit www.music.uh.edu/opera/boxoffi ce.

STAFF EDITORIAL
For all three of you that don’t know, a lone gun-man at the University of Texas at Austin brought an AK-47 to campus Tuesday and fi red a few shots
before killing himself in the campus library. Luckily, no one else was hurt, but the fact remains:
school shootings happen, and they happen unex-pectedly. The gunman opened fi re at around 8 a.m. near the UT Tower then retreated to the library after being chased by police. These kinds of things don’t happen in the middle of the night; they occur right when everyone’s at their most vulnerable.
Because of the quick response of UT campus security and the Austin Police Department, the entire campus was quickly secured. Offi cials even searched buildings in case there were any explosive devices lurking around. It’s clear that after numerous attacks on college campuses, security has been tightened and responds quickly to any threat that may arise.
All over the UH campus today, students were tex-ting, tweeting and Facebooking their friends in Austin just to fi nd out if they were all right. The University of Texas’ campus went into lockdown for quite some time, and students were posting constant updates from whatever building they were trapped in, letting their families know they weren’t harmed in the failed assault.
Yeah, UH has a semi-rivalry with other Texas schools (especially the ones that already have their fl agship status.) The Daily Cougar was defi nitely cheering when UCLA stomped UT harder than they beat us. And sometimes students (even the Daily Cougar) talk trash about other campuses — and we can be pretty harsh when we really set our minds to it. But then something like this happens, and it puts everything in perspective.
When all is said and done, we’re all just students. It’s fun to bash each other every once in a while, but we certainly don’t want anyone to get shot. The shooter — who has been identifi ed as 19-year-old UT student Colton Tooley — clearly had some serious problems, and it’s tragic that they led him to bring an assault rifl e to campus.
We’re glad no bystanders were injured, and we hope everything returns to normal for students in Austin today. And remember — the next time we play each other, in any sport, everything we say is just for fun.
Campus tragedy shows how connected we are

L ast week The Journal of Sexual Medicine published a study that focused on 50 women who were
diagnosed with female sexual arousal disorder. They were all given a placebo instead of Tadalafi l, a drug once used to
treat erectile dysfunction. The study found that all of the women saw an increase of pleasure while under the impression
that they were taking medicine to improve their sex life.
This is a clear example of how strongly drugs and being medicated have come to affect our lives. But at the same time, it’s also an interesting approach of mind over matter.
The placebo response shows how, with a push in the right direction, a lot of so-called problems can easily be fi xed without any real medication. All of the women were willing to put in the effort to tweak their lifestyles a little and try
different things, like engaging in more sex. Nevertheless, what the placebo
represents is vital. The study suggests that taking steps towards treatment can often generate the body’s own natural healing powers. Instead of a pill, an intense desire for change in the human body can trigger pleasure in many different ways.
Sex is not merely physical for women; it is mental. Often that factor seems ignored. It is generally understood that sex for men is much less complex. Women tend to require additional attention to reach a substantial sense of sexual satisfaction.
The media also frequently takes the female sexual experience to a ridiculous supra-sexy level that many women can-not reach. This can produce a feeling of inadequacy for women. Outside pressure for women is probably a strong equal for men, but it’s defi nitely less acknowledged. Magazines like Cosmopolitan still seem solely concerned with the “Top 10 ways to
please your man,” instead of the “Top 10 ways to help yourself.”
Often people merely attribute the lack of pleasure or satisfaction that many women feel during sex to the fact that women think too much instead of anything more signifi cant. The placebo suggests that there is not necessarily any-thing wrong or that needs to be fi xed with a woman who experiences low levels of arousal. Instead, it shows how important the mind is in relation to the female and her body.
The study demonstrates a basic principle of life. If you want change, you have to act — and then you can start to see results. There is not always a need for medicine. Sometimes the desire to get what you want is strong enough to produce results without faking it.

O n Sept. 21, a 59-year-old man stalked Madonna, writing mes-sages of adoration on the sidewalk
outside of her house. More threatening was the fact that he was in criminal pos-session of a 7-inch pickaxe. Meanwhile,
everywhere a celebrity goes, they either must endure paparazzi and screaming fans or disguise themselves so
they are not recognizable. It makes one wonder: Is being a celebrity worth it? And why can’t we give them some privacy?
Have you ever gone a week or so where you had absolutely no time to yourself? Humans require some alone time to meditate, rest and refresh. Celebrities have it rough in this department; they’re constantly in the public eye. We demand they entertain us — we pay them large amounts of money to do just that — and people, particularly those in our nation,
like to be entertained around the clock. I’m not saying that celebrities haven’t
asked for this. They’ve strived for a career where they are in the spotlight, where their faces are blown up on big screens and where albums carrying their voices are bought by the millions. But everyone is entitled to some off time. Celebrities need privacy just like 9-to-5 workers need time off at the end of the day, so they can continue to work the next day.
It is hard for a celebrity to go out on the town, and that’s understandable. People adore them and worship the ground they walk on (something I personally fi nd to be a little strange, but hey, you pick your poison). But when we invade their homes and private lives, we are taking it way too far. It is messed up to stalk someone and harass them around their house. It is illegal — and rightly so.
We hang on the stories celebrities tell us, dance to the songs they sing us and
sometimes even believe the things they believe. But if we keep demanding so much from them, we are in great danger of seeing a decline in the quality of enter-tainment they deliver us. I hold that this is part of the reason that Hollywood and the music of today has gone down in produc-tion quality; not just because of scheming executives, but because actors and singers are far too exhausted to put out a quality product.
Celebrities do a lot to keep us enter-tained. Some of them break bones; some of them snap emotionally. It’s quite hon-estly a stressful job to be in the spotlight 24/7, all for the entertainment of a nation. The least we can do is give them some pri-vacy and time to themselves. It’s what we would want if we were in their position.

FOOTBALL
Keenum uncertain about future plans
John BrannenTHE DAILY COUGAR
Quarterback Case Keenum said Tuesday that he is unsure if he will apply to the NCAA for a medical redshirt to play next season, or if he will take his chances in the NFL draft.
Keenum is scheduled to have reconstruc-tive surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament at 9 a.m. today, and he will mull his decisions afterward.
“The fact is I don’t know,” Keenum said. “There’s a lot of unknowns now. There’s a lot of stuff I don’t know about.”
Dr. Walt Lowe will perform the surgery. Lowe is the preferred orthopedic surgeon for the Texans and Rockets and is one of the most respected doctors in the country in his fi eld.
As a signal caller, Keenum was used to hav-ing most things in his control, including the pace of the offense and the plays called on the fi eld. Now he submits control to doctors and hopes the healing process is timely.
“It’s not a fun experience,” he said. “I don’t wish this on anybody.
“A lot of it isn’t in my control. It’s not the senior year I wanted to have, but it’s the one I have right now, and I’ll make the best of it.”
Keenum did not say what his preference was for next season, but that he has the itch to play now.
“Right now, I want to be on the fi eld. I want to be out there playing, and I can’t,” Keenum said.
“Right now, I want to play for the Cougars. As far as in the future there’s no telling.”
Because of concussion symptoms stem-ming from the previous game against UTEP, Keenum was wary when he threw an inter-ception to UCLA linebacker Akeem Ayers in the Cougars’ 31-13 loss on Sept. 18. He said he wouldn’t have done anything different if he threw another.
“When I was chasing him down, I was actually thinking about my head,” he said. “I was thinking ‘don’t dive’ because I didn’t want to get kicked in the head or anything. I thought I would arm-tackle him, but it all
happened pretty quickly.” Keenum said he has
received a fl urry of calls from friends and family. Among well-wishers for Keenum was Baylor quar-terback Robert Griffi n, who suffered a similar injury last season.
“He gave me a heads up on what’s coming, how to rehab and how to come back stronger,” Keenum said.
Despite being clearly disappointed, Keenum remains optimistic.
He said he expects the timetable for recovery to be the average time for most ACL injuries, which is approximately six months.
“It’s going to be a chal-lenge, but I’m going to get through it stronger,” he said.
“It’s going to be as quick as I can. I’m going to push the things I can push, and be careful with what I can be careful with.”
Head coach Kevin Sumlin said in this situ-ation it is acceptable for Keenum to focus solely on himself, something he is not accustomed to.
“At this point he needs to make a decision based on Case Keenum, what’s best for him, which is a lot different way than he ever thinks.,” Sumlin said. “He’s always thinking about the good of everything else and other people.
“He’s done so much for this program and for UH. I told him ‘You don’t owe us anything. You have done a tremendous amount for this community on and off the fi eld.’ You can’t put into words, dollars or the amount of publicity and pride he’s brought to the University.”
Keenum is one of two offensive team
captains, as voted on by his teammates. Even though he won’t be on the fi eld anymore this year, Sumlin said another player will not take Keenum’s spot as captain.
“He’s still a part of this team,” Sumlin said. “What he thinks, how he feels, how he’s able to talk is still important. He’s not done with us, and we’re not done with him.”
Keenum has expressed a desire to coach with the conclusion of his playing career. He received his fi rst hands-on experience in Saturday’s game against Tulane. Along with his crutches, he could be seen on the sideline with a headset while assisting true freshman Terrance Broadway in his fi rst start.
Keenum said he has confi dence in both Broadway and freshman David Piland, and
that they are more advanced as passers than he was as a freshman.
“It was defi nitely a different experience,” he said. “It was fun coaching those guys up. It’s good seeing those guys succeed. I think Terrance is a heck of a football player. He’s got a long way to get a whole lot better. David is a heck of a player too.”
“I know for a fact they’re a lot better along than I was at their age.”
Regardless of the result of Keenum’s situa-tion, Sumlin said he thinks he will be a great coach when the time comes.
“He’s going to be successful no matter what happens,” he said.
Quarterback will weigh options in coming months
His presence is missed on the fi eld, but injured quarterback Case Keenum will still play an important role for the team this year. In Saturday’s game against Tulane, Keenum helped Terrance Broadway get adjusted to life as the starter. | Jairo Razo/The Daily Cougar
