Smart Project construction underway B Y L ORY N THOMPSON Staff Writer

An army of chain-link fences, bulldozers and yellow hard hats greeted returning students in January — evidence that the UNT Smart Project gained momentum whi le ca mpus closed for the holidays.

The project, which began Dec. 1 and is expected to continue through Februar y 2013, focuses on upgrading utilities to increase sustainability and lower maintenance costs, said Charles Jackson, UNT’s executive director of facilities.

“We have old, old systems in buildings,” Jackson said.

UNT officials negotiated a performance contract with Schneider Electric, which guarantees the utility costs saved over 20 years will exceed the $42 million spent on renovations, Jackson said.

The most extensive portion of the project, and the reason the area around the University Union is ripped up, requires the updating and addition of chilled water loops, which Jackson said are an efficient way to cool many buildings from a central location.

The project plans to add a second chilled water plant — to be located in the new parking garage — and integrate almost all of the non-residential buildings on campus into the system.

The chiller system will circulate cool water around the campus to cool off the buildings.

will continue spreading until it ends in phase V near the Gateway Center.

Cu r rent const r uct ion includes parts of phases I and II, Jackson said. The project is waiting for permission from t he cit y to dig under cit y roads including Avenue C and Highland.

“A lt houg h we’re beh ind where we want to be ,we’re really not behind schedule,” Jackson said. “It won’t yet delay completion of the project.”

The construction around the Union and the General Academic Building is not in Campus construction elsevain. It is part of the Smart Project to install a new chiller system. where “There’s no specific timeline,” Jackson said. “[The current construction] is the major portion that will take the longest.”

The water chillers project is separated into phases, Jackson said. Phase I began in front of the Hurley Administration Building and construction

The Smart Project is only t he most recent construction venture on campus. Two long-term projects, the new stadium a nd t he Business and Leadership Building and

its adjoining parking garage, are both running smoothly, Jackson said.

“I don’t k now if t hey’re ahead of schedule, but they’re definitely not behind,” Jackson said. “There are no roadblocks to having [the stadium] available for that first game next fall.”

In an email statement, UNT President V. La ne Rawlins said the stadium and business building have been in the works for years.

“We need new buildings,” sa id Rawlins, who cited a recent study that found UNT was one of the only Texas institutions with no room for growth.

Snow to hit Denton

After a mild-weathered weekend in North Texas, Denton residents can expect to see a change today, as an arctic front sweeps through with freezing temperatures, heav y rain, wind and the possibility of snow, meteorologists said.

The rain is expected to turn into to a mixture of sleet, f reezi ng ra i n a nd snow by ea rly mor ning, said Joe Harris, a National Weather Service meteorologist.

A nticipating the problems inclement weat her c ou ld pos e for t he 29

percent of student commuters, university officials canceled classes and closed t he UN T-Denton campus today.

Thirty states and more than 100 million people are expected to be affected by the winter storm set to last from Monday evening to late Wednesday.

The storm is predicted to develop in the Texas south central plains, where it will continue northward through the Midwest, up toward Chicago, and across the Great Lakes into New York and the rest of the Northeast, leaving a path of sleet and freezing rain, Harris said.

The number of international students studying at U.S. colleges and universities reached its highest point ever last fall, an increase that included a large jump in the amount of Chinese students receiving higher education in America.

The 2009-2010 academic year saw a 3 percent increase in the number of international students enrolled at U.S. institutions of higher learning, according to a report released by the Institute of International Education. This puts the amount of international students in this country at an alltime high of more than 690,000.

The IIE also reported that the number of Chinese students studying in the U.S. grew by 30 percent to more than 120,000, making China the leading country of origin for international students in the U.S. “We’ve certainly seen that at UNT as well,” said Mary Beth Butler, director of communications for UNT International.

“That’s been very big. China is a growing source of students.”

International student enrollment at UNT in the fall of 2010 rose to 2,667 students from nearly 2,500 the previous year. China overtook India as the top foreign country of nationality for students enrolled at UNT as well.

Chinese students at UNT jumped to 275 in fall 2010, up from 230 in 2009. Butler said many Chinese students are coming to the U.S. for their

education as a method of getting ahead in their chosen career to benefit the Chinese economy.

Authorities search Denton area for fugitive Facebook.com/ntdaily

@ntdaily

BY M ATTHEW CARDENAS Staff Writer

Law enforcement authorities are looking for a man who may be hiding in Denton after he escaped from a Houston area halfway house Jan. 24.

Timothy Rosales III, 39, was under electronic monitoring at the house where he was serving out the remainder of a 25-year sentence he received

on t wo cou nt s of ag g ravated sexual assault in 1987, according to a Department of Public Safety press release.

Authorities are targeting their search in Denton and Amarillo, because Rosales –– one of the 10 most-wanted f ug it ives i n t he st ate – – reportedly has family in those cities.

He is wanted on felony civil

commitment and parole violation charges, reports said.

Denton Police Department spokesman Ryan Grelle said there have been no tips or leads to suggest Rosales is in the area, but said he does have family living in Denton.

Rosales is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds. He has brow n eyes a nd a shaved

head. Rosales has scars on both arms, on his right wrist and on his back, chest and head. He has tattoos on his left shoulder, arm and leg, and on his back and chest. His right arm is discolored.

He is considered armed and dangerous.

The DPS has raised the cash reward from $5,000 to $7,500 for information leading to

Rosales’ arrest, releases said.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Rosales or any of the other 10 most wanted fugitives is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800252-TIPS (8477), text the letters DPS followed by the tip to CRIMES (2724637), or email a tip through the DPS website.

All calls, texts and emails are anonymous.

U.S. education is ‘affordable’ Continued from CHINESE on Page 1

The Smart Project has a chiller system and will replace the current pluming system and light fixtures to make the campus more energy efficient.

Environmentally-friendly project to replace systems Continued from SMART on Page 1 Bu si ne s s s en ior C u r t i s Coleman said the construction on campus has not bothered him unless he doesn’t watch where he walks.

“I look up and I’m about to run into a fence,” Coleman said. “It’s always in a different area.”

Coleman said he is disappointed he won’t see the results before he graduates.

“Although it does make me excited for UNT growth, this is not what I signed up for in college,” Coleman said. “I’d like to see the end result.”

Jackson said UNT Smart will not only help the university become more env ironmentally friendly, but several of the systems being replaced are outdated or in need of repair.

“We are going to phase those out.”

Raw l i n s sa id t he projects under construction on T:5.5” that needed campus are ones to be addressed.

“[These projects] are related to replacement of faci l ities that are too small and outdated for their functions,” Rawlins said. “[In short,] we are rapidly growing and are trying to accommodate the growth.”

“Ch i na is a boom i ng economy,” Butler said. “One of the things China is doing to build its economy is send its students abroad for study.

That’s a very big market for folks that do recruiting internationally.”

Ma ny of t he Chinese students at UNT are coming to pursue degrees in fields like science, technology, engineering and mathematics, Butler said.

While these have historically been the fields Chinese students seek degrees in, Butler said many are also coming to UNT for its internationally recognized departments, such as the Center for Play Therapy and the College of Music.

Although the university works to increase international enrollment through recruiting and study abroad programs, Butler said many international students hear about UNT from friends or family who attended.

“Our rough number right now is 2,600 international students,” Butler said, “We work very hard to increase that every year through targeted recruiting. But, our biggest source of students is always word of mouth.”

UNT’s Multicultural Center has also felt the increase of international students on campus. Uyen Tran, director of multicultural programming at the center, said they have seen a rise in not only Asian students but also Native American and Hispanic students.

The Multicultural Center plans 75 events every semester.

While they have always done

prog ra m m ing for A sia n students, Tran said there has been more interest in participating and creating events for Asian students recently.

“We don’t program just for Chinese students,” Tran said.

exam. Graduating from the institute waives the TOEFL requirement for enrolling at UNT. “If you mention UNT’s IELI, most people know it when they apply for an English school,” Wang said. “It’s harder to take the TOEFL exam. You spend a lot of money and time. You may use half a year to take the test.”

Yu Weng, a math graduate student, came to UNT 10 years ago because she has relatives

“We don’t program just for Chinese students...we try to program for all the students.”

—Uyen Tran Director of Multicultural programming

“We try to program for all the students. Our events could be about a Chinese issue, a Japanese issue or they could be about an Asian issue in general.”

Ch i nese st udents a re increasingly coming to schools in the U.S. for a variety of reasons. Yue Wang, a finance junior, said she felt more confident about getting a job after she graduates in the U.S. rather than in China.

“The U.S. has 10 percent unemployment, but China has more than 20 percent,” Wang said.

One draw for Chinese students at UNT is t he Intensive English Language Institute.

Wang said it is easier for international students to study at the institute rather than take the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL,

in the area. Yu said she has seen things change for Chinese students since she arrived.

“Ten years ago there were, at most, a handful of Chinese students studying at the English language institute,” Weng said. “But, right now, when students come to study, most of them start from the IELI. Most of them choose to start here.”

Weng said the strengthening of the Chinese currency is making it more affordable to study in the U.S. Weng also said more Chinese students are able to study in the U.S. now because it is easier to obtain visas for foreign travel.

“In recent years, a lot more students have access to the opportunity of education overseas,” she said. “In recent years, the U.S. visa was less restrictive and less difficult for the Chinese to apply for.”

Texas lawmakers to consider immigration reform proposal

BY DREW GAINES

Senior Staff Writer

T:10”

Osiris Ramirez, an immigrant from Zacatecas, Mexico, could hardly consider Denton to be a sanctuary.

As Ramirez waits for work at t he intersection of Fort Worth Drive and Carroll Blvd., state legislators in Austin are contemplat i ng a ser ies of immigration bills aimed at sparking reform and counteracting the policies of so called “sanctuary cities.”

T h e t e r m “s a n c t u a r y cit y” is one used by Texas Governor Rick Perry and some in the Republican majority to describe a city in which local authorities turn a blind eye to a person’s legal status, said Idean Salehyan of the political science faculty.

“Basically, it is local government saying it is not our job to enforce those [immigration] laws,” Salehyan said.

Rather, sanctuary cities see it as the job of the federal government to enforce immigration laws — a viewpoint that does not sit well for Texas’ conservative legislators.

T he federa l gover nment’s idleness in handling t he immigration issue has prompted Texas politicians to take matters into their own ha nds during t he ongoing 82nd legislature.

number of House and Senate bills that seek to govern the detainment, education and financial burden of the state’s illegal aliens.

“There is a lot of dissatisfaction amongst the politicians and a big voter demand to do something,” Salehyan said.

State senator Jane Nelson (R- Flower Mound), a UNT g raduate, is t he aut hor of Senate Bill 84, which ca lls for Texas to participate in a federal E-verify work authorization program. Employers a nd pol ice wou ld use t he electronic database to verify a worker’s legal presence in t he Un ited States. a nd it would link to a national database operated by t he U.S. Depa r t ment of Homela nd Security.

Another proposal, Senate Bill 126, by state senator Dan Patrick (R-Houston) seeks to give local law enforcement the power to question a person’s legal status after they have been detained. Under the bill, the police have the obligation to report those found to be here illegally to federal immigration authorities.

Some bills issued to t he Texas House Chamber mirror t hose recent ly passed a nd hotly debated in Arizona. Rep. Dennis Bonnen (R-Brazoria County) put forth a bill calling for English to be recognized

as the official language of the state. The bill would also cut financial aid to illegal immigrants in higher education and create a public database containing a persons’ illegal status.

Despite the many proposa ls, Tex a ns shou ld not expect radica l change, Salehyan said.

“There might be something that gets through, but it will be far more moderate than Arizona,” Salehyan said.

He cited Texas’ g row ing Latino voter base as a factor barring Gov. Perry and strict immigration reformists from pa ssi ng t he more rad ica l bills. Instead, he said, Texans can anticipate “some minor reforms and some symbolic gest u res” to come out of t his session’s immig rat ion debate.

Immigrants like Ramirez can expect to live in the relat ive shadows for t he nex t few mont hs as t he debate continues in Austin.

“You pay for ever y t h ing here – – rent, food, ga soline,” Ramirez said. “There are laws, but many people don’t follow t hem because they don’t want to discriminate.”

Ramirez came to Denton from Mexico five years ago in search of work. He has lived here without fear of deportation, he said.

Cinderella Project dresses up high school students

BY HOLLY H ARVEY Intern

Local high school students can have the night of their dreams thanks to donated dresses from UNT students.

The Cinderella Project is accepting formal wear and accessories for men and women for prom at every residence hall front desk during regular hours now through March 2.

“It’s a really great opportunity for girls who can’t afford to go to prom,” said Sharon Miller, the residence life coordinator in charge of the project.

“It’s also really environmentally sustainable to reuse the dress.”

Students can choose dresses and tuxedos on March 4 and 5 at Clark Grill.

Through the project, students can clean out their closets and help people have a memorable experience, Miller said.

The project will accepts new or gently used garments and accessories, Miller said.

“Girls get to college here and they think they’re going to wear their prom dress again, but they don’t,” she said. “So they donate it and it really makes them happy to see that someone else can use it.”

The Cinderella Project has chapters in more than 15 states and in Canada.

The project started at UNT in 2006 when the Denton chapter contacted Miller about collecting clothes.

The biggest challenge was finding space and staff for the project. Residence Life took over in 2007, Miller said.

“We’ve just put the signs up for the Cinderella Project and we’re hoping for lots of donations from students,” said PHOTO BY STACY POWERS/DESIGN ASSISANT Rachel McGee, a Kerr Hall coorStudents with old prom dresses and formal wear can clean out their closets to donate to the Cinderella Project, which dinator.

So far, Honors Ha ll has received three dresses, Crumley has received one and Bruce has received jewelry donations from students.

“I think it’s great. I support it,” said Kalle Taylor, a biology senior.

The Cinderella Project is very helpful for underprivileged high school students, said Christopher Murray, a kinesiology junior.

Women come from all over the Dallas area, Miller said.

“There’s a teacher at a high school in Krum who gets a van and drives girls here every year,” she said.

The Mean Green is scheduled to host its first home game of the season when it squares off against Wichita State on Feb. 11.

The Mean Green women’s basketball team took a brief onepoint lead after getting off to a slow start in Denver on Saturday, but was overpowered in the second half by the Pioneers’ dominant trio of scorers.

Denver’s reigning Sun Belt Player of the Week, redshirt senior forward Brianna Culberson, finished with a career-best 27 points after scoring just six points in the first half. Culberson, junior forward Kaetlyn Murdoch and senior guard Britteni Rice combined to score 68 points in Denver’s 86-67 victory over UNT. The loss is UNT’s fourth in a row.

“We did a good job of holding Culberson in the first half,” head coach Shanice Stephens said.

“But in the second half, their big three just went on a run. We were solid enough offensively, but poor defense just killed us.”

Denver (13-8, 5-3) started the game with a 10-2 lead, but UNT (5-18, 2-8) used two 3-pointers each from junior guards Brittany Hudson and Tamara Torru to stay in the game. Torru finished the game with 11 points, one of three players to score in double figures for UNT. However, it was Hudson who led the way for the Mean Green, as she notched 12 points in the first half and hit all five of her shot attempts. She made her first eight shots and led the team in scoring with 20 points before fouling out late in the game.

“We were just looking to get the ball to [Hudson] because she was the hot hand,” sophomore forward Jasmine Godbolt said.

Godbolt finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, her third straight double-double.

The Pioneers followed the Mean Green’s spurt by reeling off 11 straight points. UNT put in a late 3-pointer and went into the locker room down 37-30.

“We had a few turnovers in the beginning and they just started running on us and we just wasn’t getting back,” Godbolt said. “I wasn’t expecting them to run up and down the floor like that.”

Amidst the high altitude of Denver, Colo., the UNT men’s basketball team suffered its second straight loss to the Denver Pioneers in an 80-67 defeat Saturday night. UNT had not dropped two straight contests in 40 games, with the last occurrence on Jan.7 against Arkansas State.

“What really hurt us, and what our downfall was, were the stops,” senior guard Josh W hite said. “We didn’t get enough consecutive stops on the defensive end. We won’t win like that, giving 80 points up.”

The loss puts the Mean Green (16-6, 5-4) two and a half games back of the Pioneers (11-10,

7-1) for first place in the Sun Belt West Division. The Mean Green went 4-4 in the month of January.

All six of UNT’s losses this season have been on the road.

In its six losses, the Mean Green allowed 87.8 points per game.

Coming into the game, the Mean Green ranked seventh in the conference in scoring defense, allowing an average of 71.7 points.

“I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but even at home, we’re not holding people to a clip that we really need to,” head coach Johnny Jones said.

“We just have to get to where we’re doing that, and it’s my job that I find guys who are able to play that way.”

Against the Sun Belt’s top scoring defense, the Mean Green, which leads the conference in scoring, mustered 67 points. It was the fourth time this season the team failed to score at least 70 points. UNT is 2-2 in those contests.

Denver entered the contest ranked second in the conference in 3-point field goal perc ent a ge, shoot i ng 42 percent. Pioneers junior guard Brian Stafford led the assault from deep, going five-of-eight from long distance on his way to a game-high 21 points.

Twelve of Denver’s 24 completed field goals were 3-poi nters. T he P ioneers finished shooting 46.2 percent from behind the 3-point line and 55.8 percent shooting overall.

“We have to a better job on defense,” senior forward George Odufuwa said. “That’s all it really comes down to.

We’re still sloppy. We have to clean it up.”

UNT averaged 13.6 turnovers per game prior to the contest and turnvoed over the ball 12 times.

“We didn’t take care of the ball,” Jones said. “When we did turn the ball over, they did an excellent job of scoring.”

White scored a team-high 15 points in the loss. Odufuwa had his tenth double-double of the season, scoring 14 points and racking up 11 rebounds.

UNT will try to stop its twogame slide at 7 p.m. Thursday at home aga i n st F lor ida Atlantic, the leader of the East division. In the confines of the Super Pit, UNT has won 17 straight games, the 10th longest home winning streak in the nation.

“T he l a s t t h i ng w e’r e going to do is feel sorry for ourselves,” White said. “We have to get back to the basics, and that starts in practice. We just have to get back to our winning ways.”

Other countries want democracy Editorial In light of the growing unrest and open rebellion in Egypt, a pattern emerges of people living in suppressed societies choosing to change their political environment.

The Editorial Board points to the recent actions taken by the Egyptian people as just the latest, loudest example of confirmation that by pursuing a pro-democratization global agenda, the U.S. is championing the will of suppressed people worldwide.

The rebellion began Jan. 24 in an attempt to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year regime. A week of violence has overtaken the streets of Cairo and has lead to a death toll of more than 100 people, as thousands protest the countr y’s declining economy and rampant governmental corruption.

The Egyptian government ordered a national Internet blackout Thursday because it hoped to prevent the use of social networking by the protesters. Responding to the situation, Chinese officials blocked the term “Egypt” in Internet searches.

We find it important that cutting the country’s population off from the rest of the world failed to stymie the revolt.

The Eg yptian militar y has announced it would not harm the protesters. Israeli officials are worried because the revolt could put the Muslim Brotherhood, a religious party, in power. Religious parties, are illegal in Eg ypt, but the Brotherhood has been a llowed to continue.

Israelis fear if the Brotherhood were to take over, the peace that has lasted throughout Mubarak’s administration would shatter.

The situation in Eg ypt follows a rebellion in Tunisia and the removal of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Morocco, The Ivor y Coast, Libya, Yemen, Jordan and other countries in Africa and the Middle East have also experienced murmurs of unrest.

UNT announced Monday that it would suspend any travel to Egypt, Tunisia and Niger, and travel to Nigeria would be considered individually.

Eg y pt controls t he trade t hat passes t hrough t he Suez Canal, which includes 8 percent of the world’s trade. That also includes a major part of the world’s oil supply, which means the events will likely cause gas prices to rise.

The Board views these recent upheavals as a continuation of people wanting to obtain freedom and more individual rights, such as the end of communism in Eastern Europe and of racial discrimination and persecution in South Africa.

Through this globally captivating national revolt, Egyptians — 90 percent Muslim — are proving that the values of democracy can no longer be labeled as purely Western desires.

Texas high schools need electives With a $5 billion proposed cut to the state education budget, it’s no wonder that lawmakers and administrators alike are looking for solutions. From raising class sizes and closing schools to cutting electives, Texans are faced with tough choices.

However, we must not forget the importance of elective courses.

Students’ lives are enriched by their fine arts experiences. They get the chance to express themselves in healthy ways and explore possible career options.

Sports and physical education help promote healthy lifestyles. This is hugely important in a nation filled with increasingly obese citizens (pun intended).

A Gallup poll ranked Texas as a midrange state where obesity is concerned, but even the least obese state, Colorado, has an obese population of almost 20 percent. How in good faith can

we remove health and physical education from our schools?

The lack of respect for the importance of electives is not a phenomenon new to this legislation term. In many districts in the state, including Austin Independent School District, grades earned in electives are not included when computing grade point averages calculated for class rank.

Students are given two GPAs: one which reflects performance in all classes and one which includes only the four core subjects — English, math, science and social studies.

When completing college applications and computing the top 10 percent of the senior class for automatic acceptance to Texas public universities, this makes a certain level of sense — a student’s basketball performance is unlikely to affect her ability to manage a college course load.

At the same time, the skills she learned in her basketball class, from both her team and coach, about working together, time management, and the importance of eating well and exercising will undoubtedly help her in the transition from high school to college, and make her a more attractive student to the university.

I’m understandably biased.

As a future journalism educator, I, of course, find value in my subject and in the skills my students glean from the material contained therein. However, even those who do not teach elective courses must on some level see the intrinsic value of breaking up the school day with classes outside of the typical core course load. Students gain experiences that cannot be created outside of the outlets offered by elective courses such as drama, creative writing, orchestra, track and

photography.

We must fight to keep these courses in our schools.

With schools closing and teacher layoffs across the state, this may seem a small issue, but for the sake of the students, it must be addressed.

Keep electives in school for the sake of the students.

Economics, morality work together A professor of mine recently described Adam Smith, the so-called father of modern economics, as a heroin-addicted economist who threw numerous wild parties that escalated into massive, unrestrained orgies of unheard proportions.

My professor was joking. It was an attempt to grab our attention and raise our interest in Smith.

Unfortunately, some of those who disparage the market system view it and its supporters along the same lines as this version of Smith: immoral, vile and exploitative. In their minds, capitalism breeds nothing but selfishness and a disregard for one’s fellow man. Society cannot continue to function with a system that destroys charity and virtue.

What is sad about this widely believed version of capitalism is that it is as fictional as my professor’s account of Adam Smith.

Behavioral economics is a new neuroscience that seeks

to understand the psychology behind economic decisions.

Among the experimental bargaining games developed by researchers is one known as the Ultimatum Game. The gist is a certain sum (say, $100) is split between you and your partner.

You are given the power to divide the sum between both of you, and if your partner accepts the division (whether it be $50-$50 or $99-$1), both of you get to keep the money. If your partner rejects the offer, both of you go home empty-handed.

Irrationally, most partners reject unequal splits starting at about $70-$30. I say irrationally because any rational profit maximizer should take whatever free money they are offered, no matter if it is $50, $30 or $1.

Apparently, fairness takes precedence over economic selfinterest — a trait of reciprocal altruism that developed over

eons of exchange and barter.

What is even more surprising is that those heavily immersed in societies that are driven by market systems tend to leave more money on the table in these experiments. They are more altruistic than those who have little contact with market exchange, which writer Matt Ridley also found.

Ridley correctly points out that “enlightened self-interest lies in seeking cooperation.”

The data gathered by social scientist Arthur C. Brooks confirms the implications of these bargaining games. We Americans are often seen by some intellectuals as trailing behind our socia l democratic brothers and sisters in Europe.

It turns out that Americans privately donate more than Europeans, per capita. On top of this, Americans in favor of free enterprise give more to both

religious and secular causes than those who favor governmental redistribution, even when adjusted for age, religion, income, gender, marital status, race, political views and education.

Anti-redistributionists are also more likely to give their time to charitable causes and activities, such as blood donations or giving money to a homeless person on the street.

To support markets is not to support the glorious selfishness of the individual. It is to support a collective enterprise — a system in which we all end up working for each other. In a system like that, we can all learn to be truly charitable.
