TAMS students earn scholarship money BY A DAM BLAYLOCK Senior Staff Writer
Five of UNT’s youngest students brought home $5,000 in scholarships after a weekend competition. They are enrolled in the Texas Academy of Math and Science, a residential program at UNT where high-school aged students finish their last two years of high school and their first two years of college simultaneously. “It’s a great experience, especially when surrounded by other high school students who are interested in science and math,” said 16-year-old Mariam Saifullah, a TAMS student and regional finalist in the Siemens Competition. The competition is open to high school students and is run nationally by the nonprofit math, science, engineering and technology-oriented Siemens Foundation, according to the foundation’s website. The students went to the University of Texas to compete in the Region 2 finals Friday and Saturday. Students pa rticipate by submitting t heir persona l and team research projects to the foundation, according to the foundation’s website. Scholarships are awarded to students with exceptional projects. The top prize at the national competition is $100,000. There were five finalists and 11 semifinalists in the 2010 Siemens Competition from among the TAMS students at UNT, according to a UNT news
relea se. I n 2008, TAMS s t u d e n t Wen Chyan won the top prize in the national competition. MIRIAM S a i f u l l a h SAIFULLAH said she was excited when she and her research p a r t n e r S h u l i n Ye were named finalists for their project. SHULIN Each of the YE finalists received a $1,000 scholarship. “Our project was on the mathematical correlations for organic compounds, including ionic liquids,” Saifullah said. The other three finalists were Stephanie Su, Favyen Bastani and Jonathon Lin, according to a UNT news release. But t he TA MS program provides more for the students than just the opportunity to compete for research scholarships. It’s a great opportunity for the students, said Kevin Roden, assistant director of Student Life. “They’re working in a real research lab with real research professors in a real research institution,” he said. Yet the students still make time for their families, Saifullah said. She and the other students are required to go home once a month, she said.

Anti-abortion group shocks UNT BY JOSH PHERIGO
Assigning Editor
A national anti-abortion group visited campus Monday, sparking debate and eliciting protests among the UNT community. About a dozen members of the nonprofit organization Justice For All stood within a waist-high metal fence on the campus green to field questions about what they said were the negative consequences of abortion. The fence encircled a two-story triangular billboard displaying information and graphic images of aborted fetuses. Leaning against the metal gate, Justice For All member Maureen
McKinley spoke in a soft voice to a group of students gathered before her. She addressed the “shock value” associated with the many explicit photographs shown. “People are often more disturbed by seeing it than they are by simply knowing it’s happening,” McKinley said. “The images are used to simplify the perceived moral complexity of the issue.” Members from student organizations set up tables across from the exhibit. Chanting for abortion rights, students from the International Socialist Organization, the Campaign to End the Death Penalty and the
Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance said they wanted to help balance the discussion. Jordan Hughes is the president of the FMLA. She said she thought the event provided a positive forum to inform people about both sides of the abortion debate. “We’re vehemently against their viewpoint, so it gives us an opportunity to inform people about abortion rights that we might not have otherwise had,” she said. The UNT College Republicans sponsored the event. Theresa Blake, a political science junior and the group’s chairwoman,
said the group wanted to host the exhibit because abortion reform is a part of the Republican platform. “It’s a real issue with real human lives at stake,” Blake said. “People don’t want to see it because it’s painful.” Conservative radio personality and newspaper columnist Mark Davis said he was impressed by the way the group balanced the shocking nature of the images with sympathetic engagement with the public. “There was a striking balance in the images being disturbing and the dialogue being so understanding,” Davis said.

Senior Staff Writer In the midst of an offensive slugfest between Troy and UNT on a brisk Saturday night, an official walked over to interim head coach Mike Canales to tell him that both teams were playing hard and that his kids were battling, Canales said. In his second career game as head coach, Canales thanked the referee for the sentiment and responded, “I appreciate it, but we’re going to win.” The Mean Green displayed resiliency and determination to the bitter end, but it was unable to make its coach’s words come true, as UNT fell at the hands of the Trojans 41-35. “We can play with anybody,” junior running back Lance Dunbar said. “Offense executed, defense played well. We did what we had to do to win. We just needed to make more plays.” Dunbar racked up 176 total yards. The Green Blur also had two touchdowns, which moves him into a tie for fourth in career rushing touchdowns at UNT. The 35 points were the most UNT has put on the scoreboard all season. Dunbar was outdone by his Trojan counterpart, as wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan piled up 240 all-purpose yards on the night. Jernigan, with 5,293 career all-purpose yards, broke the Sun Belt Conference record in that category, passing LouisianaLafayette’s Tyrell Fenroy. “That guy’s a superstar,” Canales said. “Let’s call it what it is. He’s a special player, and he showed it tonight on some of the moves and plays that he had.” UNT (2-7, 2-4) found itself

Defensive back D’Leon McCord falls just short of tackling an opposing Troy player during Saturday night’s 41-35 loss. trailing early, as Troy quarterback Corey Robinson found Chip Reeves for a 69-yard touchdown reception on the first play from scrimmage.
“We just needed to make more plays.” —Lance Dunbar Junior running back The Mean Green had one final chance at the end, when freshman linebacker Zach Orr picked off Robinson for UNT’s second forced turnover of the game. The offense stalled out on its final drive, sealing the victory for Troy. “When we got the turnover, we were happy, but we weren’t
shocked,” senior linebacker Craig Robertson said. Robertson had a career-high 14 tackles, which leaves him 15 tackles shy of fourth place on the school’s career list. The defense was unable to contain Troy (5-3, 4-1), which posted 543 total yards and 41 points, the most allowed by UNT in both categories. Despite the injuries that UNT has incurred on both sides of the ball this season, Canales made no excuses in the postgame press conference. “No matter if you’re a backup or not, you may be a starter, and you got to step up and do the same job as a starter would,” Canales said. “If you don’t, you’re cheating this football team – and that’s what we will not allow around here.” Redshirt sophomore quarterback Riley Dodge continued his stellar play on Saturday, completing 17 of 29 passes for
269 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. “I’m very confident in what these receivers can do,” Dodge said. “It feels good to get some passes down the field and open it up a little bit. I knew we were capable of that all season.” Dodge, who was a highly touted recruit when he first stepped on campus, was part of a gritty effort on UNT Preview Day, in which at least 50 recruits sat in the stands, Canales said. Canales was excited to see potential recruits and went on to say that Denton is a great place for student-athletes to continue their careers. “They can see that we’re moving in the right direction and that good things are going to happen here,” Canales said. “We’re going to find them. There are going to be people that want to play here, I promise you.”

Exhibition attendees take in The Narrative Arc: Methods of Storytelling in Visual Art exhibition at UNT on the Square. The show ends Friday.
Exhibition tells story through narratives BY CHRISTINA MLYNSKI Senior Staff Writer
The sound of footsteps circling around a sculpture while people talk along with interactive videos can be heard throughout Narrative Arc: The Methods of Storytelling in Visual Art. Ten students from the new media arts program and 10 artists from across the globe, including Germany and New York, will present different interpretations of a narrative. The exhibition at UNT on the Square is free and ends at 6:30 p.m. Friday. “I think that people like storytelling because it’s that oral history, which started from the very beginning of time,” said Jenny Vogel of the art studio faculty, the show’s curator. “There’s a part of humanity that loves stories, so it’s a natural instinct.” Connecting Art to Life Vogel said she chose Narrative Arc as the show’s title because of its traditional literary description. “The classic story starts with the introduction of characters, then the conflict and solution, which creates an arc,” she said. Nine pieces and 10 videos are shown throughout the exhibition, Vogel said. Pieces in the exhibition include sculptures and a wall ink drawing that looks like comic book frames, Vogel said. Vogel uses students in the Narrative Arc exhibition because it’s a part of her course assignments, she said.
“People like storytelling because it’s that oral history.”
—Jenny Vogel Art studio faculty member Peter Kusek, a new media studio arts senior, said he believes art and narratives go hand in hand. “This process reflects an intense searching for something that only becomes apparent after
Narrative Arc When: Ongoing until 6:30 p.m. Friday Where: UNT on the Square, 109 N. Elm St. Cost: Free Artists featured in the exhibition will be at the gallery Thursday and Friday the work is done,” said Kusek, who is enrolled in Vogel’s course. Kusek’s piece represents the relationship between people and technology, presented in a 45-minute video. Meredith Buie, an administrative coordinator for UNT on the Square, believes the exhibition is different from others because it focuses on the artists’ version of the theme instead of a common medium. “Instead of seeing similar works, you’ll find a huge variety of styles and forms,” she said. Infinite Classic New media art has been around for years. The movement was criticized and fell back as a form of art during the 19th century. In the ‘80’s, the genre made its most prominent comeback and has been growing since, Vogel said. Vogel chose different elements of works because she wants people to understand that stories can be attached to any type of art. “For me, the way I look at abstract art like a narrative is through the brush strokes created or the background of the piece like the time period,” she said. Jordan Kerzee, a new media art and photography senior, said he feels all visuals are narratives. “When we think of a narrative we generally think of causeand-effect relationships,” he said. “When we look at something our brain is instantly trying to create relationships between the visuals we see.” For more information, contact Meredith Buie at 940-369-8257 or by e-mail at meredith.buie@ my.unt.edu.

Denton com mu n it y members gathered Saturday morning with their families — and dogs — to kick off Super Grow. In tribute to the Super Bowl XLV, Denton hosted Super Grow, a tree-planting event, Saturday at Lake Forest Park and Wiggly Field Dog Park. W hen t he Super Bowl comes to a community, the NFL has a committee to help offset negative environmental effects to its host city. “What they decided was the 12 host communities that invested in bringing the Super Bowl to Texas each get 45 trees donated from the NFL,” said Aimee Bissett, program manger of Keep Denton Beautiful. About 30 to 50 volunteers helped plant the donated trees, which included various oaks, elms and redbuds, Bissett said. There were several organizers involved in the Super Grow event, including the NFL and city organizations. “The NFL and the Super Bowl Host Committee initiated it, and then Denton has a Super Bowl Host Committee as well that has all the schools on it, both colleges and DISD, as well as the convention and visitor’s bureau, the airport,

Swimming, diving: ‘a mixed bag’ BY R AEGAN POOL Staff Writer
New school records and a single first-place finish couldn’t carry the Mean Green swimming and diving team on Friday as it fell to one of the nation’s top programs, Southern Methodist University 201-97. Junior Seabre Pope took UNT’s only gold medal, clocking 24.52 in the 50-yard freestyle with SMU’s Emily Vavourakis following in 24.58. She also helped the Mean Green take second in the 200-yard medley relay with freshman Samantha Kluttz, senior Rosita Bado and junior Rosa Gentile. Pope saw her team to another second-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay accompanied by Gentile, freshman Alexis Widacki and junior Carleigh Kutac. Head coach Joe Dykstra was very pleased with Pope’s performances, he said. She has been battling sickness this season, and this was the first time she was able to swim at a promising speed. “I was pretty glad today, especially with my 50-yard freestyle. Right now, my times aren’t anywhere near my best,” Pope said. “As far as actual technique, I’m doing what I’m supposed to.” The distance swimmers, seniors Dawn Richerson, Angie

A 1-1 weekend result for the UNT volleyball team helped Arkansas State’s chances of stealing the Sun Belt West division crown from the Mean Green, leaving its fate undecided even after its final regular-season match. The Mean Green (18-12, 10-5) suffered a four-set road loss in a crucial match to Arkansas-Little Rock (5-18, 3-10) on Friday before retaliating in five sets against the ASU Red Wolves (14-11, 8-5) on Saturday to stay alive in the West division race. “We just didn’t come out focused on Friday night,” head coach Ken Murczek said. The split tied UNT and ASU for first. UNT has only one regularseason match remaining while ASU has three. If both teams win out, they’ll finish at 11-5. Despite the Mean Green’s 3-2 victory over the Red Wolves on Saturday, ASU still holds the tiebreaker edge thanks to a 3-1 victory against UNT earlier in the season.

Junior Stephanie Bernier swims in the 100-yard backstroke at Friday’s meet at the Pohl Recreation Center. Dworschack, juniors Hiliary Riedmann and Madison Fleming, had standout performances in the 1650-yard freestyle, taking second and fifth places, respectively. “For this time in the year, that is really encouraging for how well our training is coming along. I can’t overstate how impressive those miles were,” Dykstra said. Another distance swimmer, sophomore Catia Weickgenant, had a comeback performance in the 500-yard freestyle. She swam in third place for most of the race until the very end when she pulled ahead of SMU’s Ana
Santos for a second-place win. Weickgenant finished in 5:08.98 and Santos finished less than a second later in 5:09.01. Both Pope and Bado agreed that the races this year seemed closer to the ones they’ve witnessed in the past. The diving team, which debuted many new dives on Friday, also had highlights. Junior Delia Covo finished in second place for the 3-meter dive with 269.85 points to break her own school record. She also took second for the 1-meter dive with 248.03 points.
While freshman Rebecca Taylor did not score as high, she competed in almost all new dives, which is a difficult feat to perform in competition, Dykstra said. He said his team had its share of star performances, but also had an equal share of not-so-great performances. “It was a very mixed bag. We had some really outstanding stuff today, but we had a lot of things that were frustrating at the same time,” Dykstra said.

tage in set victories. Friday UNT entered UALR territory on Friday as the lone division contender. The Mean Green swept the Trojans 3-0 on Oct. 10 in Denton, but couldn’t repeat those results on the Trojans’ home court. The 3-1 loss (23-25, 25-23, 17-25, 23-25) was the Trojans’ third conference win of the season and a product of 44 Mean Green errors. “We had errors on hitting, serving and net fouls,” Murczek said. “We didn’t play well.” The first set looked to be in UNT’s favor, but UALR came back from a five-point deficit to win on a .162 hitting percentage. The team took the lead again in the second when senior outside hitter Brittani Youman slammed a kill and two aces. Senior outside hitter Roxana Casvean scored the following kill before sealing the match on a bad UALR set. Senior outside hitter Amy Huddleston guided the Mean Green offense with 14 kills while Casvean, Youman and sophomore middle blocker Rachelle Wilson combined for another 31. UNT out-killed UALR 55-48 and finished on .128 hitting. Saturday Revenge was recognized in the
hitter Shelley Morton’s attacks lifted UNT over ASU in the fifth before Huddleston gave the Mean Green the lead for the remainder of the set. She led the offense again with 18 kills while Wilson followed with 15. Youman, Morton and junior middle blocker Melanie Boykins contributed 11 apiece in the 68-59 kill edge. Junior setter Kayla Saey racked up a match-high 53 assists, ranking No. 23 in the nation with an 11.21 assists-per-set average.

The inexperience of the young players showed, a home crowd helped David overtake Goliath and the 2010 season came to an abrupt end for the UNT soccer team. Getting upset by sixth-seeded Western Kentucky was not what head coach John Hedlund had in mind – and by many standards, the end result was a mild disappointment. This team was similar to the buffet Golden Corral – sounds great on paper but the execution isn’t there. While this was far from the storybook ending that everyone wanted and most of the team expected, there is plenty to take away from an eventful 2010 season. The Offense Made Great Strides One of the most interesting things about this season was the total change in philosophy in Hedlund’s offense. After adopting a more conservative approach two years ago, Hedlund opened things
UNT’s 2-6-1 road record was t he main reason it didn’t get past the first round of the conference SEAN t o u r n a - GORMAN ment. The reasoning behind the struggles seems very clear – while talented, this group was still young and inexperienced enough for it to interfere with its play away from home. Senior night wasn’t eventful this year, as the team only had two seniors on the roster. Made up of underclassmen and juniors, UNT was too young to compete on the road. Look for this to change next season as the younger players continue to mature and assume a leadership role on the team. The Program is Gaining Recognition Don’t look now, but UNT soccer is getting some looks from people around the country.

up by taking an aggressive stance. Moving up a defender to play midfielder, the team used a 3-5-2 system with three forwards, five midfielders and two defenders. The results were outstanding, as the Mean Green led the Sun Belt in goals and points while ranking sixth in the nation in goal differential. While UNT didn’t get nearly as far as it wanted to, there is now a formula in place for this program to succeed at an even higher level than it has in past years. With 15 straight winning seasons in the books, that’s saying a lot. Road Woes Plagued UNT All Season There’s a good chance the players on the Mean Green didn’t care much for singer Willie Nelson – they could certainly wait to get on the road again. Dropping one contest at home to a strong SMU team,
major accomplishment for this team and was a testament to its consistency. Although it failed to reach its highest ranking ever, the Mean Green became a mainstay on the poll during the end of the regular season. Hedlund has strong connections with Dallas Sting, one of the premier clubs in the country, and will continue to bring in more and more talent every year. As UNT gets noticed for its success, this process is only going to get easier. After hearing the majority of the team say how it’s “win the Sun Belt or bust this season,” it is a shame to see the Mean Green exit in the first round of the conference tournament against a team it should have beat. That being said, this season was one of much improvement and when the youth of this team matures, conferences titles can be won.

The UNT Pohl Recreation Center is known for its large swimming pools, towering rock wall and accommodating exercise facilities. What some students don’t know about, though, is the office that wants to get students out of the building. The Outdoor Pursuits Center offers everything from organi zed ca mping, ca noeing and hiking trips to educational classes and equipment rentals for students and faculty. “There’s really no restrictions on what you can do,” said Jeremy Hankins, a real estate senior and employee at the center. “It’s a chance to learn something new that you haven’t had a chance to experience before.” Kristin Adam, an anthropology senior and trip leader for the center, said they are prepared for people who don’t know what it takes to get into the great outdoors. She said if someone is interested in planning a trip, they can come in and discuss gear with the staff, who will help them decide what’s right. The benefits of their trips and events go beyond being outside. “I honestly believe it’s not entirely about the skill that you’re taking away from the trip...” she said. “But it’s about the people and working together with a group of people in a different kind of setting than you’re used to.” The center typically offers about four trips a semester, Hankins said. However, he wants to see that increase. This past weekend, students

Hankins said the 14-person roster filled up in less than 20 minutes. “The capabilities of us as a staff just aren’t up to the demand of what participants want,” he said. “I would like to see that grow.” Those students looking to get outside don’t have to rely on the organized trips. The center offers everything from coolers and tents to back country stoves and canoes, Adam said. Classes during the semester include water sports and stargazing and niche activities like slack lining and geocaching. Josh Eccleston, a logistics junior who is interested in rock climbing, said having something like the Outdoor Pursuits program is valuable for a number of reasons. The availability of equipment makes it easier to get outside,
he said. “A lot of students don’t have the money to go to REI and spend tons of cash on that [equipment],” he said. Getting out is also important to Eccleston. “Green space is disappearing, so that’s always valuable,” he said. For Adam and Hankins, the nature experience is more than just a weekend thing; it’s a lifestyle. “I think there’s an aspect with backpacking and canoeing where you’re taken out of your comfort zone in terms of an air-conditioned room, always feeling comfortable and I think we learn the most when we put ourselves in new, challenging situations,” Adam said. “That’s the best part for me.” For more information on the Outdoor Pursuits program, visit http://recsports.unt.edu/ outdoor/index.html or go to the office in the Pohl Recreation Center.
A different kind of fashion was show n in the Lyceum on Friday as the Chi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi hosted The Look of Wall Street Professional Dress Fashion Show. The event’s goa l was to educate students about what to wear in a business setting. “We’re all students that are tr ying to go into corporate America, so we need to know what to wear and what not to wear,” said LaShae Leonard, president of the chapter. The show started out with an energetic performance from Christin Lee, a psycholog y sophomore who performed “At Last” by Etta James. Hosts Joshua Chatman, a kinesiology senior and Jorden Mitchell, a communications junior, introduced the first segment of the show titled “Business Professional.” Models sported different skirts and pant suits to the beats of pop music. After show’s first segment of the show, the hosts discussed things that people should not wear or do at business functions. Chatman advised males not to wear earrings and bright colors at business functions. He concluded that wearing a “pimp suit” to work was not acceptable. Mitchell advised women to always wear closed-toe shoes and refrain from clothes that fit tightly. Mitchell concluded that a business place is where people demonstrate their intelligence, not their physical assets. The show continued with the business casual section, where pieces of clothing were displayed primarily for office celebrations. After the models showed their clothing, the hosts gave advice to the crowd on what not to do at office gatherings, particularly concerning

The event advised students about appropriate dress in a business environment. alcohol intake. Mitchell said not to drink at at them. Chatman advised people to dance like parents when at an office party, instead of dancing as if they were in a nightclub. “We were noticing that a lot of students weren’t really aware of what professional dressing is, so we wanted to find an interesting way to explain it,” said Cicily Pettigrew, the group’s vice president of professional activities. “The fashion was just a tool to show the difference bet ween professional dress and business casual and what’s appropriate in different business environments.” 3AM, an Arlington-based
all-male R&B group, performed songs its members wrote. The event’s final segment showcased clothing for semiformal events. A portion of the ticket sales will be donated to Arizona Quest for Kids, an organization that mentors children to prepare them for higher education. For ma ny students who attended the show, it was a time to support their friends a nd check out some new clothing. “[I came out] to see where my fashion sense is about to go for the winter,” said Annie Edwa rds-Hu rst, a fash ion merchandising junior.
Project provides art exchange By a shley-Crystal Firstley Intern
After Lesli Robertson first visited Uganda in 2005, her interests expanded to the founding of the Ugandan Bark Cloth project. With her partner Fred Mutebi, the founder of the nonprofit organization Let Art Talk, Robertson fused the relationship between Texas and Uganda through the use of bark cloth for art while stressing its importance through workshops and programs. “It’s a material that’s been around for centuries,” said Robertson, a fibers and weaving lecturer. “It’s one that has certain affiliations with culture and identity and it’s a really beautiful material that is starting to get more recognition outside of Uganda. But at the same time, it’s starting to lose value in Uganda.” The project is funded by the Institute for the Advancement of the Arts, which pays another facu lt y member to teach Robertson’s classes while she focuses on the project. It also supports her travel and projects in Uganda. Her fifth visit will focus on the relationship between the bark cloth producers and the bark cloth artists, said Rebecca Schaefer, an assistant to the project. Making Bark Cloth Schaefer, a UNT alumna, has been involved with the project since the beginning, and describes bark cloth as a renewable source made from the Mutuba tree, which is found near Uganda. The bark is stripped from the tree and the makers wet it, pound it down and let it dry before repeating the process,

Rasor Elementary School students Arbaaz Karim Catie Free and McKayla Williams working on one of the nine “Talking Murals.” The project was a schoolwide effort headed by UNT alumna Rebecca Schaefer. Schaefer said. “And so it becomes almost like a burlap or canvas ... that they can use for different textiles and art and that kind of thing,” Schaefer said. “And they wrap the tree and the tree grows the bark right back.” Because it’s a renewable resource, it fits into the idea of sustainable, green and organic material, Robertson said. “What’s interesting is that the renewability aspect isn’t just about its impact on the environment,” Robertson said. “It’s really about renewing the economy in certain areas, allowing bark cloth [to] become a commodity that the makers can sell to earn a living.” Painting junior Chris Stickel said he has painted on different types of materials such as canvas, walls and sheet metal but has never painted on bark cloth. “I’ve never heard of it, but it sounds interesting,” Stickel said. “If it’s a cloth or fabric ... I wouldn’t consider it unusual. It’s pretty traditional to paint on wood ... a lot of people do it.” Renewing Material In 2008, Robertson established
a program called Renewing Material, a mural exchange where they linked through art students of Uganda and students of the U.S., she said. Essentially, Robertson said seven elementary schools participated by working on a canvas mural that was taken to Uganda and finished by primary school students in an area outside the capital city. In Uganda, they started their mural on bark cloth and sent it here, where it was finished by UNT students and faculty at an Earth Day event. “So our goal with Renewing Material and creating a traveling expedition of contemporary art work using bark cloth and bringing that to the community that makes it, is really so that we can in a way show how valuable this material is in Uganda ... and outside of Uganda,” Robertson said. Schaefer’s biggest involvement is the mural exchange and she will visit Uganda for the first time this year. This month will be the second mural exchange.

State budget crisis will kill wrong programs Editorial Having sufficiently aired our grievances with the sitting governor — (cough) pre-presidential candidate — the Editorial Board has resolved to illuminate some of the more pressing state issues we perhaps overlooked during the gubernatorial race. Many have touted the state’s booming economy amidst the national slump as evidence that Texas has been unaffected by the Great Recession. Perry harnessed that sentiment by parading around the state declaring that Texas was “open for business.” And he’s right. Business is Booming Numerous polls conducted by media outlets and independent agencies nationwide agree that Texas leads the country in attracting businesses. Low taxes, stable regulatory processes, strict lawsuit restraints and an affordable cost of living are attractive factors to large corporations looking for a state to call home. Yet, in the shadow of all that economic fertility, the state now faces a record-setting budget deficit — projected to be as high as $25 billion by January when the Legislature begins tackling the beast. Strong Republican leadership ensures businesses and individuals are safe from tax increases, so the scissors are out and state agencies are running for cover. If the recent past is any indication, social services and education will bear the brunt of budget cuts. State Services Trimmed In 2003, Texas faced a $10 billion shortfall. Social services were slashed across the board. Some lowincome pregnant women were dropped from Medicaid eligibility, co-payments for the Children’s Health Insurance Program were raised and hundreds of state employees were laidoff. This time around, Perry has said he intends to protect the social “safety net for health and human services.” That’s good, because for the last decade Texas has had the most uninsured children in the nation — and we’d sure hate to dip any lower. However, Perry hasn’t ruled out reducing other non-federally-mandated services such as children’s vision and dental care and mental health services. After ordering all state agencies to cut their budgets by 5 percent earlier this year, Perry is expected to ask for 5 percent more next year. That could cost thousands of state employees their jobs. Nearly 10,000 jobs were offered up for elimination as of late September. More than 7,300 of those were prison corrections officers from the Department of Justice — you know, the unimportant jobs. The state’s biggest expenditure, education, will likely be cut substantially. Perry declined to apply for more than $830 million in federal education money back in August because he said the federal education standards the state would have to adopt would weaken Texas schools. And that’d be difficult, considering Texas is consistently ranked near the bottom in states that adequately educate their workforce.

Letter: abortion display disgusting I would like to address the abortion protest display on the green on Monday. While my letter is not concerning the controversial issue of abortion, I would like to comment solely on the display itself. Anyone entering the green on Monday was greeted with large graphic displays of mutilated human bodies lying in pools of blood, severed appendages, crushed skulls, decapitated infants and murdered human children with eyes gouged out and pulverized faces. Warning sign were present, but the displays were prominent, raised on 20-foot poles just outside the doors of my required classes. It was a disgusting display that I did not care to witness. While the subject itself is one
that should be openly discussed, the tactics used on this day serve only to polarize the extremists on both sides of the issue and alienate those whose opinions are not so absolute. Those who would argue that these pictures are necessary are those whose opinions on the matter have already been set in stone. As for people who have yet to take a side in the abortion argument, these tactics are counterproductive and in many cases have the opposite effect of what is intended. In all fairness, the evangelists who frequent our school preach vehemently against sodomy. Can they carry larger posters of the act they are protesting? And what of those who speak out against rape and incest? What graphic
and disgusting pictures are they allowed to display? I am a passionate proponent of free speech, and will defend all who exercised this right, but free speech should never be forced in one’s face in graphic and offensive photographs on billboard-size banners immediately outside the doors of the buildings where students are required by the school to attend class. These shocking pictures serve only to traumatize the public and seldom result in constructive dialog. In my case, the graphic pictures that the protesters displayed so proudly served only to show that this group consists of barbaric and sadistic degenerates who voice their message laced with antipathy and perversion. I did form an opinion on the green on
Monday, but it was an opinion on the sponsors of the event and the school that allowed it, not on the issue of abortion.

GOP victories a referendum on Obama Last Tuesday, Republicans were victorious in elections across the country, picking up an unprecedented number of House seats, which will put them back in the majority in the next Congress (they also gained Senate seats but Democrats will remain in control). This happened just four years after Democrats won control of Congress and two years after President Barack Obama was elected. Incoming Republican leaders are claiming the election results are a wholesale rejection of President Obama’s and congressional Democrats’ policies. Despite having lost badly themselves in the previous two election cycles, they claim “the American people” have now given them a “mandate” to pursue their agenda full on, but is this really the case? Historically, midterms are bad for presidents. Their party usually loses seats in Congress, with very rare exceptions. And with a troubled economy, Democrats were destined to lose
badly. This is not to discount the scale of Republican victories, but to point out that people voted more to show their dissatisfaction with the unemployment rate rather than any embrace of Republicans. Indeed, in a CNN exit poll, voters showed no greater love for the Republican Party than the Democratic Party, with 53 percent holding an unfavorable view of both. Another key factor in their wins was that Republican base voters were excited about voting in this year’s election while many Democratic base voters didn’t vote at all. And while Republicans overall fared well on election night, the ultraconservative tea party faction did not. Only 32 percent of tea partyendorsed candidates won their races. The worst losses for Republicans were on the Senate side, where tea party-backed candidates lost races in Delaware, Colorado and Nevada, where the GOP had been expecting wins. Had they picked up those seats, the Senate would have been split 50-50. Vice President Joe Biden
would have broken the tie for Democrats, but convincing Sen. Joe Lieberman to switch parties was a possibility. Republican leaders have said their first two priorities coming into power will be extending all of the Bush-era tax cuts and repealing health care reform. However, exit polls showed that 52 percent of voters agree with President Obama’s position that the tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 a year should not be renewed or that none of the tax cuts should be renewed. Voters were split on the issue of health care reform with 48 percent favoring repeal and 47 percent wanting to keep or expand it. Republicans also want to undo new regulations on Wall Street, the most popular of the reforms passed in the last two years. It is clear that while many voters may have been unhappy with Democratic governance, they have given Republicans no clear mandate. Republican leaders, given little choice but
to please their tea party base or face primary challenges, seem similarly bent on misreading the election and pursuing a far right-wing agenda that could cost them in 2012. In 1994, when Republicans took the House and the Senate, they shut down the government, helping President Clinton get re-elected (afterward, they pursued impeachment, which backfired on them in the next midterms). One would think they would try to learn from their own history, but all indications are that this will not be the case. The downside to getting elected is that you actually have to govern. You can’t just criticize the other party anymore (though they still will). And you face an electorate with less patience than ever. So enjoy your wins while you can, Republicans. It’s all downhill from here – just ask the Democrats! Adam Silva is a UNT alumnus. He has a B.A. in political science and can be reached at adamsilva@my.unt.edu.
UNT Impact For UNT students, the deficit will mean even higher tuition and lower financial aid if the state opts not to keep the non-mandated college funding at current levels. UNT system Chancellor Lee Jackson said if the university budget is reduced, tuition would rise to higher than 3.5 percent over the next two years. Unfortunately, in the long run, a reduction in college funding will only hurt the state economy. According to the Higher Education Coordinating Board, every state-budgeted dollar spent on education yields an $8.08 return. Political rhetoric has deflected attention from the severity of the shortfall, but it hasn’t curbed the potential consequences. Instead of cutting from programs that help poor people, children and college students, Perry should take a harder look at state spending at the highest level. Aside from the $8 billion rainy day fund that could be used to supplement cuts, the governor’s office controls nearly $450 million in funds designed to lure companies to the state. Draining these accounts won’t fix the crisis, but it could make a dent, and it would go along way to correct the message that’s being sent. Texas is open for business, but unfortunately for the majority of Texans, we’re closing down most everything else.
