Registration ends today for women’s retreat

“It would be a shame if we had seniors graduating in May 2010 who knew nothing more about sustainability than when they arrived here four or five years ago.”

Registration for “Alandra Dafina: The Ultimate Women’s Retreat” ends at 5 tonight. The event is scheduled at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at 10 University Hall. Women at the university can apply, and two committees from host sororities Delta Sigma Theta and Delta Alpha Sigma will select 40 women to participate. The application is available on the Multicultural Affairs Web site at www.uta.edu/multicultural. Multicultural Affairs director Leticia Martinez said the sororities wanted to do something cross-cultural involving women’s issues. “They wanted to empower women to be educated about issues,” she said. — Anna Katzkova

University ride share program is growing

Today Sunny High 83°F Low 56°F

by sarah lutz The Shorthorn staff

Thursday Sunny High 86°F Low 60°F — National Weather Service at www.weather.gov

poliCe report This is a part of the daily activity log produced by the university’s Police Department. To report a criminal incident on campus, call 817-272-3381.

A staff member reported an accident involving a state vehicle Monday at Nedderman Hall. A student reported his vehicle burglarized Tuesday at 800 UTA Blvd. A student reported a medical emergency not requiring hospitalization Monday at Nedderman Hall. A faculty member reported a vehicle parked in his reserved parking space and requested it be towed Monday at Lot F8. A student received a disciplinary referral Tuesday regarding his Mav Express ID and access to the Central Library.

The Facilities Management department aims to use alternative means to help students get to and around campus, decreasing the university’s carbon footprint. amy Schultz, Communications assistant vice president, said the university’s ride share campaign has been successful, recruiting 48 people. The ride share is also available outside the campus community. It is one of two programs facilitated through the Fort Worth Transportation authority, known as The T. The service loans a van to one person who then picks up other participants. Jeff Johnson, Facilities Management associate director, said UTa hasn’t used the van share on campus. The 150 vans The T owns are all used in the Forth Worth area due to the program’s popularity. “We have two groups trying to get vans right now,” he said.

Johnson said the van share could save students money. Once seven people on one route have signed up for the service, The T will give the designated driver a van. The driver takes the van home everyday and can drive up to 200 miles a month for personal use. Information has been sent to student organizations, Student affairs and academic advisers, Schultz said. It’s also being distributed at residence halls. “Carpooling doesn’t necessarily always affect residence halls on a daily basis, but it does affect people living in resident halls that want to go home on the weekend and that kind of thing,” Schultz said. applicants will receive a list of people and their phone numbers and schedules, and the student can pick the best match. “They’re trying to make sure they go to UTa,” Johnson said. “Right now they’re grouping everybody in a larger group because the UTa group is not that big yet. But, as the UTa group expands we hope to make it just a UTa group – faculty, staff and students.”

architecture assistant professor Douglas Klahr said he commutes from Dallas everyday and has devised a plan that includes two trains and eight miles of cycling in order to reduce his carbon footprint. “I think it works better for staffers than faculty because lets say I have a student who comes in and wants to talk for an extra hour. I can’t say no to that student, ‘Oh, my ride’s waiting,’ ” he said. “Whereas a staff member who knows they’re leaving work at 5 p.m. and that’s the end of the story, it makes it easier for them.” Johnson said he is working on a stronger bike program on campus and wants to form a cycling group. Johnson said last year he put in at least 80 bike racks. He is looking into a “true bike program” that could restore old bikes and offer them to students or give students money vouchers for bikes if they promise to not drive their car to school. sarah lutz news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Discussion aims to provide Study Abroad particulars A Study Abroad information session will take place from noon to 1 p.m. today at University Center Blanco Room. Students will learn about available programs and how to decide which suit personal and academic goals. After the session, applicants can make a one-on-one appointment with an adviser in the Study Abroad office at the Swift Center to discuss the programs, scholarship options and appropriate courses. “Attending the info sessions is the first step for students interested in studying abroad because this is where they can learn all of the basics,” Study Abroad adviser Blake Hart said. The program is available to all students and includes internships, teaching, volunteering and working abroad. The deadline for the Spring 2009 programs is Friday. Only completed applications will be considered. — Alanna Quillen

McCain linked to Iran-Contra affair thE AssociAtEd PrEss

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama has his William Ayers connection. Now John McCain may have an Iran-Contra connection. In the 1980s, McCain served on the advisory board to the U.S. chapter of an international group linked to ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. The U.S. Council for World Freedom aided rebels trying to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua. That landed the group in the middle of the Iran-Contra affair and in legal trouble with the Internal Revenue Service,

which revoked the charitable organization’s tax exemption. The council created by retired Army Maj. Gen. John Singlaub was the U.S. chapter of the World Anti-Communist League, an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultraright-wing death squads in Central America. After setting up the U.S. council, Singlaub served as the international league’s chairman. McCain’s tie to Singlaub’s council is undergoing renewed scrutiny after his campaign criticized Obama for his link to Ayers, a former radical who

engaged in violent acts 40 years ago. Over the weekend, Democratic operative Paul Begala said on ABC’s “This Week” that this “guilt by association” tactic could backfire on the McCain campaign by renewing discussion of McCain’s service on the board of the U.S. Council for World Freedom, “an ultraconservative right-wing group.” In two interviews with The Associated Press in August and September, Singlaub said McCain became associated with the organization in the early 1980s as McCain launched his political career. McCain was

elected to the U.S. House in 1982. Singlaub said McCain was a supporter but not an active member. “McCain was a new guy on the block learning the ropes,” Singlaub said. “I think I met him in the Washington area when he was just a new congressman. We had McCain on the board to make him feel like he wasn’t left out. It looks good to have names on a letterhead who are well-known and appreciated.” “I don’t recall talking to McCain at all on the work of the group,” Singlaub said.

Apartment residents participate in survey to assess landline use Traditional lines may be removed, but the study isn’t complete. By AlAnnA Quillen Contributor to The Shorthorn

On-campus apartment residents were surveyed by Apartment and Residence Life department about how often they use their land lines. The survey canvassed 155 residents at random from Arbor Oaks, Meadow Run and Timber Brook apartments. “The primary purpose of this survey was to gather resident opinion about removing university-provided land line phone service from campus apartments,� said Eric Leidlein, Management Services executive director. According to the survey results, residents no longer see the benefits of traditional phone service. “It may not be worth the cost of continuing service,� Leidlein said. “Information from other universities indicates a trend toward removing land line phone service from student housing as a cost saving measure.� According to department, 93 percent of residents surveyed owned a personal cell phone, and 70 percent said that, if no phone lines were provided, they would not pursue getting a line on their own.

her knowledge, the laptops were only unavailable for one day, so the impact on student usage was minimal. She also believes the infestation was an isolated incident but has been an eye-opening experience for library staff.

Nearly 60 percent said they would give up traditional phone lines for expanded Internet access. Only 14 percent said they would find other ways to get a phone line if it wasn’t provided. “We are not necessarily getting rid of any of the phone lines,� said Jack Lee, west campus apartments residence director. “We are simply looking at ways to improve the communities.� Residence halls were not surveyed because phone lines are available in common areas. “Apartments do not have common areas that would enable residents to access a phone line if there were not one in the apartment,� Lee said. The decision about standard phone lines will depend on research into costs associated with use. Housing Operations and the department are reviewing the survey results and how any changes might impact the students and the university. Political science sophomore Jency James, a Timber Brook apartments resident, said she wants the phone lines to stay. “If I don’t have minutes on my cell phone or it’s charging, it’s easier to use my land line,� she said. “It’s one of the reasons I chose to live in this apartment complex.� AlAnnA Quillen news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

“Now that we know this can happen, we’re taking steps to make sure it doesn’t recur and keeping an eye on the area,� she said. Library staff has not received any additional complaints since resuming the lending program Monday, Sappington said. JAson Joyce news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

computer centers connect to four or five Tier Two centers. The university hosts one of these centers. “It is a distributed supercomputer system that can work on physics problems that are too large for a single computing center to handle,� he said. “All 50 centers work together for ATLAS.� The grid is large enough to monitor the analysis as data comes in from the collider and will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. De said the grid can keep up with the fast rate and has tens of thousands of computers available worldwide, with huge data storages attached to them. “We have designed the grid to allow analysis without delay,� he said. “However, it takes time to understand the data and analyze it again and again, especially in the beginning.� Physics assistant professor Amir Farbin said in principle, the data is processed from CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research, within 24 hours of collection and then made available to everyone on

the grid in a few days. “The grid is available for access to a large variety of scientists doing a wide range of research,� he said. “Much of the resources at UTA are reserved for the ATLAS experiment at the collider, which has 2,000 collaborators.� Some of the ATLAS usage will ultimately benefit everyone working on the project. But some will be initiated by individual ATLAS collaborators interested in pursuing their own research. Physics associate professor Jae Yu, who will also use the computer grid, said he would love to have collision data already, but accidents happen. “While careful work was done on making sure that all components are fine, there are always non-zero probability for something like this.� Yu said the next time the accelerator starts up, the machine needs to reach full capacity more slowly and be monitored more carefully in case it needs to be shut down to prevent any damage. “I am excited about what the LHC collisions will bring to us,� Yu said. “It just requires a bit more patience.� BryAn BAstiBle news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

“When students leave that one semester they’ll be able to go home and talk to their parents about things that affect every one of us,� he said. “The car I drive, how I wash my dishes, how I dry my clothes, what do I do with all the plastics I use. Things like this – it’s not just recycling. It’s a whole mental shift.� He said the class’ success will determine if it continues other semesters, but he said he hopes

McCain,� she said. “Just because you have an ‘R’ in front of your name we aren’t going to support you.� She said that doesn’t mean she supports the Democratic candidate. “I strongly oppose Sen. Obama, but I’m not going to give you my opinion on Sen. McCain,� she said.

it will. He said it’s easy to get students interested in something if presented in the right way. “I want engineering students here, to come in take the course and be seated next to a political science major, or a chemistry major,� he said. “We’ll break into discussion groups, and you cannot believe what happens when you get these people together. They’re not going to walk across campus, but when you get them in a classroom together, that’s when the magic occurs.� sArAh lutz news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu
