United Students party Current college senator for business and economics Junior accounting major Vice presidential running mate: Rachel Goodwin, sophomore political science major
by Chelsea Boozer
Student Government Association presidential candidate Tyler DeWitt’s campaign focuses on “accountability and ultimately transparency” in the SGA. “I decided to run for president of SGA because upon becoming a senator, I noticed a few fundamental, and honestly somewhat disheartening, practices that were going on in SGA,” he said. “I’m promoting accountability because the saddest part of all this is that our student body doesn’t know this is going on. The student body doesn’t know the lack of integrity, honestly, that’s come through in terms of following the (SGA) constitution and executing faithfully the laws of the Student Government Association.” DeWitt said students should vote for the candidates running under the United Students party because of their accountability-based platform. But he said students should learn about all the candidates. “Truly research these issues and think about which party, which candidates, are truly looking out for your interest and not their own,” he said.

Student Government Association President Hunter Lang’s campaign for re-election centers on the implementation of the USA Today Collegiate Readership Program. The program, which provides the delivery of three newspapers to campus for students’ use, will remain on campus this semester without financial obligation to students. However, a payment method must be determined before its continuation beyond this semester’s end. “This program has been in talks for about three or four years, and I am very proud that it has finally happened under my administration,” Lang said. “I have put in a lot of effort to bring this program to campus. It’s kind of like my child that I’ve done so far,” he added.” “I’m very proud of it. And I really hope to see it continue.” Lang noted that under his administration, SGA has worked to keep the minimum full-time status for students at 12 hours, to keep the 2,000 student seats at basketball games in FedExForum, and to keep campus safety “a No. 1 priority.”

No silence for Nashville 7 BY Kyle LaCroix News Reporter U of M students James “Justin” Sledge, philosophy graduate student, and Sally Joyner, U of M law student, were among the seven protestors released from jail on bond Tuesday night following their arrests at a Nashville protest at the state capitol. The two students, as well as Paul Garner and Leah Shoaf, students at Memphis College of Art, Jeffrey Lichtenstein and Bennett Foster, Memphians, and Ash-Lee Henderson of Chattanooga, were charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The incident has drawn polar-
ized reactions from across the state, with some applauding the efforts of the protesters and others condemning their behavior, including elected officials. Thursday, state senator Randy McNally said he was “dismayed” when he learned that some of the arrestees were members of The U of M’s registered student organization Progressive Student Alliance, calling for disciplinary action from The University. “I know that if it was a fraternity that did something like that, they’d be off campus in a heartbeat,” McNally, a U of M alumnus, said on the Senate floor. Sledge is the vice president of The U of M chapter of PSA, which

helped organize the rally with unions and labor groups from across Tennessee. Lichtenstein, though not a U of M student, is also a member of the group. PSA issued a statement
Thursday night addressing its role in the protest and the seven “unjustly” arrested Tennesseans, lauding the “scores of people who stood against empty rhetoric and for real democracy” during the protest.
The group said the actions of protestors during Tuesday’s Senate committee meeting, for which Tennessee state troopers forcibly removed them, were not

from page 1 organized or planned in advance. Of their criticism from elected officials, PSA said: “If Nashville politicians spent as much time listening to the demands of workers and students as they do slandering PSA in the press, our democracy would be in better shape, and we could find more productive things to be doing on a Thursday night than writing press releases.” Lichtenstein and Sledge declined to comment individually on the incident.
Matthew Meiner, state treasurer of Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature and student at Vanderbilt University, was at the hearing when the protesters began shouting down legislators and refusing to leave. “I understand their position, and I respect the right to protest, but it was kind of disappointing to see them disrupt the system,” he said. “They made their points, but there are more orderly ways to do it.” Some U of M students shared Meiner’s sentiment, while others were more sympathetic toward the protesters. “I don’t think they should
have been arrested,” said Heather Horton, junior photography major. “They were just standing up for what they believed in.” “Their heart was in the right place, but you’ve got to be careful,” said Michael Ridley, junior management information systems major. “They were in the capitol, and things could have gotten worse. Protesting is important, though … maybe we need more of it. Things won’t change if you don’t say anything.” PSA’s statement on the protest and arrests can be read in its entirety at dailyhelmsman.com. Editor-in-Chief Scott Carroll contributed to this story.

Dewitt
from page 1 The SGA’s meeting agendas, minutes and bills have not been updated on its website since November. If elected, DeWitt said he’ll ensure they are posted online in a timely manner. “How are we being transparent if students don’t even know what is going on because the bills aren’t posted?” he said. DeWitt wants to survey students monthly to determine the interest and issues of the student body directly, he said. Dewitt said surveys are important in order for SGA to make decisions and for transparency in general. “When there is a big issue –- a controversial issue -– instead of just going to the administration and telling them what we think, let’s put it to a referendum vote,” he said. “Let’s let the student body decide.” DeWitt also promised to refuse tuition and stipends executive officers receive. Those funds come from SGA’s budget, which is comprised of student-paid fees. “I will not accept the SGA president scholarship, and I plan to donate that back to The University of Memphis scholarship fund and give it back to students who have truly proven in the classroom that they deserve that scholarship money,” he said. “I don’t believe that one person who is already running a surplus in scholarships should receive that money, and I believe it is inherently unethical and morally disturbing.” DeWitt said he receives $9,000 in scholarship money and challenges his opponent, current SGA president Hunter Lang, to disclose the amount of scholarship money he receives. DeWitt suggested both he and Lang have their award totals verified by the scholarship office. As an SGA senator, DeWitt worked with state legislators to compose a bill that will allow students to use the HOPE lottery scholarship during summer semesters. He also spearheaded a comprehensive reform package within SGA that rewrote several parts of its bylaws. Those changes include raising senators’ grade point average requirements to 2.5 instead of 2.0. However, that part of his bill was amended by Speaker of the Senate James Johnson to 2.3. Johnson said though he doesn’t feel 2.5 is challenging, he thinks 2.3 is more reasonable and assures that SGA doesn’t create requirements some students cannot meet. DeWitt argued that if a senator can’t make a 2.5 GPA, SGA might be a distraction. DeWitt also said he supports bringing the USA Today Collegiate Readership Program to campus but thinks the student body should vote on the program because it may be funded through studentpaid fees. He wrote a bill that would put the continuation of the program on this election’s ballot. The senate hasn’t voted on that bill because the meeting it was to be discussed in ended early, as requested by the majority of senators. Lang said after the meeting that he planned to veto the bill if it were passed because it conflicted with a previous bill, which discussed the continuation of the program on campus. DeWitt said he is working with the Adult and Commuter Student Association to amend the SGA constitution to designate a seat for a commuter student.

“I was kind of worried when they played UTEP, but after that game, I know they’ll do great.” — Mohamed Yusuf, Pre-nursing junior
Lang from page 1 He said he has also focused on Greek houses west of campus because several fraternity houses were burglarized in the fall. The house where Lang lived last semester sat next to a fraternity house and was among those attacked by burglars. He said students should vote for him because he knows “how the show works” and “where to put the pieces of the puzzle to come out with a better answer for the student body.” Lang said instead of fighting the administration, he’s learned how to work with them in the past year and wants to continue to expand that relationship. “(The F.A.C.E. party will) do everything we’ve done in the past. Like I said, we set a standard, and we’ll pass it. There’s been a lot of firsts, especially since I’ve become president, and we just expect to exceed everything we’ve done this far,” he said. Regarding executive officers’ receiving tuition out of SGA’s budget, which is comprised of student-paid fees, Lang said the stipends will remain intact. “We’re compensated for the amount of work that we do because it really is a full-time job. It’s no different (than) you would pay an elected official, like Obama or a congressman or someone who works with the House of Representatives,” Lang said. Lang said he is currently working to implement several work-study programs that will bring more student jobs to campus. One he plans to create, if elected, would entail delivering Daily Helmsman newspapers to every dorm room each morning. “That way it keeps (students) up to date on campus issues,” Lang said. He also said he wants to reduce the number of burglaries on campus and improve the overall transparency of the SGA. To address adult and commuter students’ involvement in camps, Lang said he plans to have SGA sponsor more events that commuter students would want to stay on campus to attend.

Don’t lie to Wii BY Robert Moore News Reporter
When University of Memphis psychology student Nicholas Duran picks up a “Wiimote,” he’s not playing video games. Duran, a Ph.D. candidate, uses the Wii to detect lies. In 2007, assistant psychology professor Richard Dale and lab students connected a Wii controller to their computers and conducted a variety of experiments. They discovered the Wiimote can be used as a scientific tool. “It allowed us to study how your thought process can be tracked and predicted by even the finest grained movements of your arm,” Dale said. Dale and his researchers chose the Wii because of the gaming system’s popularity, with hopes
that it would appeal to students so they would want to help with the project. Dale sought to prove that humans instinctively move their arms and hands in relation to what they are thinking. “Humans tend to do this intuitively,” Dale said. “It’s similar to when your hand might move around a menu when deciding what to eat.” Lie detection research using the Wiimote began when Duran received a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship for his studies in deception and worked for psychology professor Danielle McNamara in 2005. “Nicholas came to me with a very prestigious fellowship,” McNamara said, “and we just merged his study of deception with Dale’s studies on the Wii.”
U of M student’s Wiisearch Wiiveals the hidden truth Students in The U of M’s psychology department use Wii controllers as lie detectors. The “Wiimote” works as a motion sensor that picks up on subtle, involuntary arm movements and interprets them as cues for deception. by Casey Hilder
Dale and Duran plan to use the arm movements detected by the controller to determine whether subjects are lying.
“Participants intentionally gave false information in the task, and (Duran) was able to extract even subtle movements
of the Wii remote and could predict on which trials the participants weren’t telling the truth,” Dale said. “When you deceive someone, you take into account what you think they know,” Duran said. “This strategy of deception influences body language, like the way you hold the Wii controller.” The researchers said they hope the study shows that it is human nature to tell the truth. They believe that the Wii controller has provided them with a way to prove it. “When people lie, their words are pulled through their body movement,” Duran said. “People can’t correct the bias to tell the truth.” McNamara said she is pleased with the results her team has found and believes this study could be very valuable. McNamara, Dale and Duran have also analyzed deception with other devices, such as a computer mouse, which yielded similar results. Duran is writing his Ph.D. dissertation on this study and has received a National Science Foundation Post-Doctorial Fellowship to continue. “The overall theoretical message we are pursuing is the idea that your body serves as a window into your thought process,” Dale said. “Our studies are suggesting that body and mind are very deeply interconnected.”

not a Cinderella story
Coach Josh Pastner says he doesn’t consider his team an the underdog against Arizona in Friday’s matchup at the NCAA tournament in Tulsa, Okla.
By JoHn MArTin Sports Editor Their seeding suggests otherwise, but The University of Memphis isn’t entertaining the notion of playing underdog to Arizona in the second round of the NCAA tournament. “We don’t want to be some Cinderella story,” U of M coach Josh Pastner said. “We are Memphis. We’ve got Memphis across our chests. We look at ourselves as an elite-level program. You don’t average over 17,000 fans a game without that type of vision, so that’s our focus.” The Tigers aren’t your typical No. 12 seed. They’re the only 12-seed in this year’s tournament to have appeared in a Final Four. Most 12-seeds can’t tout a McDonald’s All-American and a bevy of highly recruited prospects, either. “It’s just a number,” freshman guard Antonio Barton said. “At the end of the day, it’s how you bring it on the court that’s going to show everything. That’s all that matters.” The Tigers admit that they’ve taken notice of their perceived chances — or lack thereof — in tomorrow’s game against the Pac-10 regular season champion Wildcats. But for a program that’s been to the Final Four as recently as 2007-’08, an underdog mentality wouldn’t exactly be a genuine one. “A lot of people say that we’re underdogs and so we have in our minds that people don’t believe that we deserve to be here,“ freshman forward Tarik Black said. “We might be coming in with that edge, but we’re not underdogs. We’re not thinking that.” Of course, the Tigers (25-9) are seeded so low for a reason. Ranked No. 19 in the preseason, they failed to reach most fans’ expectations by logging a 10-6 record in Conference USA, including losses to Rice by 15 and Marshall by 17. Before they sealed a bid by rattling off three straight unlikely wins in the C-USA tournament, the Tigers’ NCAA hopes were murky. “(Our seed) is the political part, you know,” freshman guard Joe Jackson said. “We were struggling during the season, so we created this seed for ourselves. (But) my mentality — I don’t think I’m a 12-seed or an underdog or anything.” While the 12 vs. 5-seed matchup is historically upset-prone, The U of M doesn’t square up well with Arizona. The Wildcats are led by sophomore forward Derrick Williams, who can bang inside or stretch the defense and play around the perimeter, where he shoots 60 percent. They’re also in the top 10 of 3-point shooting percentage in the country at nearly 40 percent. Still, the Tigers aren’t intimidated. “They played a couple tough teams but we played even tougher teams like Kansas, Georgetown, Tennessee, Gonzaga,” Barton said. “We know what it’s like to be up and we know what it’s like to be down, so we’re just going to come in and play.” One advantage the Tigers say they have over the Wildcats is the element of surprise.
by David C. Minkin
While at times the Tigers have played as a well-oiled cohesive unit, they’ve also been prone to turnovers and ice-cold shooting nights. “We have even more of an edge because we’re a young team, so they really don’t know what to expect,” Black said. “With us, you can watch film but you really don’t get too much from it because we can come out and do the exact opposite the next day when we come out to play,
so you never know.” And as for playing spoiler to the Wildcats? “We know we can play, so all those people telling us we’re underdogs — we’re not trying to hear that,” senior forward Will Coleman said. “We’re here to play Tiger basketball, because at the end of the day, the numbers and all that stuff doesn’t mean anything. The hardest (playing) team will win.”
