By the end of this election, there might be a new sheriff in town. When voters go to the Tarrant County polls, Democratic sheriff candidate Hank Pope, UTA Police Department senior investigator, will run opposite Republican incumbent Dee Anderson, who has held the position since 2001. Rick Gomez, university assistant police chief, said everybody who knows Pope and knows law enforcement will not vote based on party affiliation, but on credentials. “When it comes to local policing, it doesn’t matter whether you’re Republican or Democrat — what matters is you are the most qualified candidate,” Gomez said. Pope said he believes he is the most qualified for the position. “This isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about who’s qualified for the job,” he said. “It’s more an issue of management styles. Mine is more honed because all of the things I’ve done.” It was those years of experience that inclined Gomez to hire Pope two years ago. “Reason we hired him was his experience as an investigator and a detective and knowledge of the Tarrant County system,” Gomez said. “I’d hate to lose him. He’s a valuable asset to our department, but I’d be supportive of him as sheriff of Tarrant County.” Pope has worked in many departments and held varying roles throughout his career. He said the most disturbing scene he has worked was his first murder as a homicide investigator in 1979. The victim was an 18-month-old child, which he said made it more difficult. He said that at the time, he had children around the same age, and when he documented the crime scene and took the photos, they were all he could see. The circumstances surrounding the case were especially graphic, he said. The child’s young father became angered when the child soiled his diaper. When the child wouldn’t stop crying, the father, who had been drinking, dunked the child in scalding water. He then beat the child on the side of the tub. “Anytime you see children come to their end wrongfully, it bears on you as a parent and just as a person in general,” he said.

Hank Pope, UTA Police Department senior investigator, is running for Tarrant County sheriff against Republican incumbent Dee Anderson. Early voting has already begun, using the same ballot as the presidential election.

Despite stressful work conditions, Karen Pope said her husband has remained compassionate. Unlike many professionals in the same field, she said he has not succumbed to cynicism. “Hank is a man of integrity and loves what he does,” Karen Pope said. “It’s hard to separate the man from what he does — it’s who he is.” But Karen Pope attributes their successful 35-year marriage to their deep faith and involvement in church. “I could not have made it all these years, and with Hank doing the type of work he does without it,” she said. Phone calls to Sheriff Dee Anderson’s office were unreturned as of press time. By Mark Bauer news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Wednesday’s story “University adapts to ADA revision effective Jan. 1” should have stated that the words “regarded as” refer to individuals who do not actually have a disability but have been “regarded as” being disabled by their peers. Thursday’s headline, “SC wants UC painted in school colors,” should have said that an SC member proposed the resolution. Thursday’s article, “Creative Minds,” should have stated that the lecture series is named Hermanns Lecture Series: Creative Writing and the Academy. Thursday’s article, “Showing Off,” should have stated that Jeff Sorensen is the Student Affairs assistant vice president. Thursday’s headline, “University addresses oil concerns,” should have stated that they’re addressing emissions concerns. Wednesday’s article, “A Superstition or Makeup Artist?” Nicholas Irion’s name was misspelled. Also, Aaron Resendez should have been identified as the EXCEL director of special events.

One Iranian student debunks rumors about life back home By Michelle leverett Contributor to The Shorthorn

Living in Iran for 23 years has helped one international student understand both sides of the political spectrum regarding the presidential elections. International Spouses Club member, Bahareh Bakhtiari lived in Tehran, Iran where she received her bachelor’s degree in urban and public affairs before she and her husband moved to Arlington two years ago to complete his doctorate. With the current economic crisis and ongoing war, Bakhtiari said she believes the presidential elections are coming at a crucial time for both countries. She said she doesn’t agree with either presidential candidates’ stances on Iran. On one end, she doesn’t understand why McCain says the U.S. will go to war with Iran and said there’s a disparity in American foreign policy. “Americans gave a lot of money to Pakistan’s nuclear program. So what is this? They don’t want Iran to have a nuclear program, but what about Pakistan?” she said. The dour outlook by the candidates, especially McCain, on Iran is another concern Bakhtiari has when it comes to the presidential election. “It’s awful,” she said. “He doesn’t think things are going to change with Iran.” Bakhtiari said she believes there is a misconception about Iranians in America. “I hate it when they are speaking about Iran, because the media always refers to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,” she said. “Most Iranians do not think like he does, do not like him and think he lies.” Brent Sasley, political science assistant professor, said many Iranians are not happy with

their government because of restrictions on social and political life. “Many Iranians support the government because they believe whole-heartedly in the revolution and the regime’s interpretation of Islam,” Sasley said. “The former are more likely to believe that relations with the West and the U.S. are not such a bad thing after all. The latter strongly dislike the U.S. and the West and believe the U.S. is only out to control other countries.” Bakhtiari said she hopes former Iranian President Seyed Mohammad Khatami will run for re-election in the next six months. Unlike the U.S., Iranian former presidents can run more than two terms, but not consecutively. “I think he was a great president,” she said. “While he was in office our relations with U.S. were a lot better, and much

more progress was made.” Bakhtiari said many changes are needed in Iran, like women’s rights, because they still don’t meet the U.S. standards. “Iran’s government is limited because of the Muslim religion,” Bakhtiari said. “If some of the laws were actually enacted, then things would be better for Iran.” Julie Holmer, Office of International Education program coordinator, said although its name has been dragged in mud in the U.S., Iran has the least restrictions on women compared to Middle Eastern countries. “The situation is a lot worse in Saudi Arabia, where if a woman is caught having committed adultery, she is killed,” Holmer said. “Women still have a lot more freedom in Iran.” Michelle leverett news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Blacks are already surging to the polls in parts of the South, according to initial figures from states that encourage early voting — a striking though still preliminary sign of how strongly they will turn out nationwide for Barack Obama in his campaign to become the first African-American president. There have been predictions all year of a record black turnout for Obama. The first actual figures suggest that wasn’t just talk: • In North Carolina, blacks make up 31 percent of early voters so far, even though they’re just 21 percent of the population and made up only 19 percent of state’s overall 2004 vote. • Roughly 36 percent of the early voters are black in Georgia, outpacing their 30 percent proportion of the state’s population and their 25 percent share of the 2004 vote. No one but the voters can be sure how they voted. And John McCain’s campaign officials note that the Obama camp has put much more effort than they have into early voting. But the numbers are still notable. Democrats are outvoting the GOP by a margin of 2.5-to-1 in North Carolina, where early vot-

ing has been under way for a week. That’s roughly double the margin from 2004. More than 210,000 blacks who are registered as Democrats have cast early ballots in the Tar

Heel State — compared with roughly 174,000 registered Republicans overall. Four years ago, the number of GOP early and absentee voters was more than double that of black Democrats.

Samuel Adams looks over a sample ballot as he stands in line to vote at an early voting site in Charlotte, N.C., Thursday. In three Southern states critical to deciding who will win the White House — Georgia, Florida and North Carolina — there are clear signs after several days of early voting that favor Democratic nominee Barack Obama. In North Carolina, for example, 40,000 more blacks who are registered as Democrats have cast an early ballot than have registered Republicans overall.

Ky. Supreme Court clears way for death The AssociATed Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Supreme Court cleared the way Thursday for the execution of a child killer who asked to be put to death so that delays would not “drag out the misery� for himself and his victims’ families. Marco Allen Chapman, 36, could be put to death as early as next month if no further appeals are filed. The court issued only a

brief order to set the execution in motion and did not explain its reasoning. Chapman filed an affidavit last year asking that public defenders not be allowed to file additional appeals because he wants to be executed for the murders of 6-year-old Cody Sharon and 7-year-old Chelbi Sharon in the northern Kentucky town of Warsaw in August 2002.

His defense attorneys called his request for a speedy execution “suicide by court,� and argued that his wish to waive appeals showed he was not competent. They have been pushing for another competency hearing. Defense attorney John Palombi, one of a team of lawyers who have been trying to stop the execution, said Chapman has been unwilling to authorize pleadings in his case.

the top 50. Easton finished tied for 39th place with a score of 221, and junior Michael Van deVenter tied for 47th with a 225. “squire was a big tournament for us,” Easton said. “It would’ve helped kick off this season if we had played a lot better.” the team is still searching for a single team leader. rees called

Massa, Van deVenter, Easton and senior Kevin Carrigan “upperclassmen leaders.” “We really don’t have one leader right now, we are still trying to find one,” Van deVenter said. Easton said competing is a team effort and it takes five players to win a tournament. the Mavericks know the upcom-

ing course well and look to use that to their advantage when trying to win Waterchase for the second year in a row. they also hope to use the tournament as a lifting-off point for the rest of the schedule. “this week is a big week for us to jump-start our season,” said Easton. the Mavericks finished qualifying strong Wednesday, rees said. He also said the extra preparation the Mavs have would help their performance. “With these four days of practice, we’re going to continue to work on our short game, course management and putting,” he said. “With four more days, we’re looking forward to having a great week.” sixteen teams will compete in the invitational, which tees off Monday and concludes tuesday. ben hAUSS sports-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

FREE ADMISSION • www.levittpavilionarlington.org

Arguably one of the most-decorated athletes roaming campus, senior runner Idilio Campos is a beacon of humbleness whenever he is interviewed. Campos, who qualified for the NCAA Midwest regionals in the 800 meters last track season and has been named southland Conference Male Athlete of the Week twice this season, took time out of his busy study and practice schedule to talk with the shorthorn about balancing school and cross country and other modes of transportation.

The Shorthorn: Talk about your life outside of school and athletics. Idilio Campos: right now, I’m involved in a lot of research and stuff like that. I’m about to graduate so I have a lot of school things to do. During the week I go to church usually on Wednesday nights and thursday nights — kind of like a Bible study — and just hang out with friends or teammates. TS: How do you balance the two? IC: Well I have practice in the morning, so I run and it makes me tired throughout the day. But it also makes me capable of re-

covering and going to reviews and studying. It helps me set a schedule for myself. TS: What inspires you? IC: My parents. they’ve always inspired me the most. they showed me a lot of dedication growing up. Also, I’ll be the first one in my family to graduate from a university. TS: What goes on in your head while running? IC: Before a run, I just clear my mind and relax my body. When I’m running I don’t think about anything. I just try to enjoy the scenery. It’s kind of just like a stress reliever. TS: What is a tough run for you? What about easy? IC: A tough run is about an hour, an hour and half — or like 14 to 15 miles. An easy run is like nine to 10 miles. TS: Does driving, flying or any other mode of transportation ever bore you? IC: I guess walking would bore me more than anything else.

ference.� Lewandowski said the campus made many efforts to reduce energy use. He said more than 6,000 toilets, shower heads and other water fixtures have been altered to consume less water, and $16 million was just spent to retrofit light fixtures. “It’s the largest retrofit of lighting fixtures ever — over 200,000. No one’s ever done that at any campus in the country, not in one year at least,� he said. “All put together it will save our campus nearly $3 million a year.� Jeff Howard, President’s Sustainability Committee cochair, said that while UT-Arlington’s energy conservation program has done well, important conversations have yet to happen. “We need to talk about that program and our transportation, like the shuttle system,� he said. “We need

to talk about those things in the context of carbon footprint. We haven’t had that conversation yet.â€? Lewandowski said UTAustin has begun analyzing its carbon footprint, but results will not be available until next week or later. While UT-Arlington continues its search for a sustainability coordinator, Lewandowski said UT-Austin just hired an associate director for Onsite Support Services, who’s job will be similar to UTArlington’s full-time recycling coordinator Becky Valentich. A green roof, which has brought UT-Arlington much recognition, has only received “speculationâ€? by UT-Austin, Lewandowski said. “It’s under research ‌ it may be a good idea in the short term but it may mean more maintenance to the building in the long term,â€? he said. “Some people worry about how fast it will deteriorate the roof, like if you have water coming into the building, that’s not a good idea.â€? David Hopman, landscape architecture assistant profes-

sor, said that while successful so far, much research still needs to be done on the 1,000 square feet and 21 species above the Life Science Building. “There all doing well except for two or three, but it’s still too soon to see because ‌ we haven’t seen how they do in the wet weather, and we haven’t seen what they do in a sudden cold snap, or how it looks in the winter,â€? he said. “As this thing progresses and the knowledge grows, so does the confidence of making a recommendation to somebody.â€? Lewandowski said he considers the best way to fight climate change and move forward on environmental issues is to bring grass-roots programs, other campuses and local resources together. “I believe in starting at the grass roots. Students have a lot of power,â€? he said. “The more students you get involved, the more changes will occur. I’ve always looked at it as all the campuses are armin-arm with each other, and if they can help each other out it can make a big difference not
