Fort Worth National Slam Poetry Team co-founder Janean Livingston recites poetry Saturday at the Evening of Spoken Word Slam Poetry at the University Center Bluebonnet Ballroom. The event was part of the 2009 “Sharing the Dream” Celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Events spanned three days and included slam poetry, banquet and competition. BY CAROLINE M. BASILE Contributor to The Shorthorn

The university honored the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy over the weekend with the 20th anniversary “Sharing the Dream” celebration. Celebrations for the holiday weekend included an evening of slam poetry, an ecumenical service, a multicultural festival and step-off competition. A banquet was held Friday night at the University Center Bluebonnet Ballroom and featured authors Ron Hall and Denver Moore as the keynote speakers. Hall and Moore coauthored Same Kind of Differ-

ent As Me, which detailed their friendship. Hall, an art collector and dealer, befriended Moore, a homeless drifter who lived a hardened life on the streets for 25 years. Both spoke to the audience of more than 530 about how faith and courage brought the two closer as friends, despite their stark differences. Upward Bound director Lisa Thompson said the event was part of an outstanding year for the MLK committee. “I felt this year was the most explosive celebration we’ve ever had. We had a great kick-off with very dynamic speakers,” she said. “Every year gets better and better and this was a great celebration

of Dr. King’s message.” The university also hosted an evening of spoken word slam poetry Saturday at the UC Bluebonnet Ballroom. The slam featured performances by singers, slam poets and spoken word artists, including Joaquín Zihuatanejo, an award-winning poet and spoken word artist from Denton, and Rock Baby, a spoken word artist and slam poet from Dallas who has appeared twice on HBO’s “Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry.” “It was an honor to perform here in celebration of Dr. King,” Baby said. “It was just as electrifying as last year and the reception was great. It was good to be part of such a momentous

occasion.” Zihuatanejo said he felt the night was very successful, not just as a poetry show, but as a way to connect with members of the community. “A good poetry show is when the audience leans in and the artist leans back,” he said. “It’s a beautiful balance between the two and I saw that with tonight’s show. The crowd was very engaged and connected. And that’s what poetry and music are supposed to be all about — connections. That’s what Dr. King was about, connecting the community.” CAROLINE M.

Rally at Levitt Pavilion calls for Israeli cease-fire Protestors gathered near campus to demand an end to Gaza Strip violence. By Jason Joyce Contributor to The Shorthorn

More than 150 people braved the cold and filled the lawn in front of Levitt Pavilion on Friday afternoon to rally for a cease-fire between Israeli and Palestinian fighters. Since the rally, some of what those in attendance asked for was achieved. According to media reports, Israel declared a unilateral cease-fire in Gaza on Sunday morning. Israel’s declaration was followed by a statement from Hamas leadership pledging an end to hostilities to allow Israeli Defense Forces time to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

40-vehicle crash on snowy Md. road kills 2 MYERSVILLE, Md. — A pileup of 35 cars and five tractor-trailers on a snowy Maryland highway killed two people Monday and seriously injured at least a dozen, state police said. Snow was at least partly to blame for the 12:30 p.m. crash on Interstate 70 near South Mountain in northwestern Maryland, said State Police spokeswoman Elena Russo. An inchand-a-half of snow quickly fell around the same time as the pileup.

WASHiNGToN — Barack obama stood at the threshold of the White House on Monday, summoning fellow Americans to join him in service as tens of thousands flocked to the nation’s capital to celebrate his inauguration as the first black president. “Tomorrow we will come together as one people on the same Mall where dr. King’s dream echoes still,� said the president-elect, invoking the memory of the rev. Martin luther King Jr. on the national holiday in his honor. The 47-year-old former senator takes office at 11 a.m. Tuesday at a time of economic crisis at home and two wars overseas. But the challenges of the moment receded into the back-

Standing in front of the icy reflecting Pool facing the Capitol, she made plans to rise at 3 a.m. Tuesday to take her place on the Mall for the swearing-in. obama’s own schedule showed he had one eye on the bipartisan support he’ll need after taking office. The night before becoming the nation’s 44th president he

was stopping by dinners saluting his vice president, Joe Biden, and two republican stalwarts: former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the man obama defeated last November to win the White House. Uniformed military personnel patrolled Washington street corners, the advance guard of a massive security presence planned for the oath-taking, inaugural speech, parade and other festivities. officers checked out some suspicious packages and vehicles, but everything was cleared, said FBi spokesman richard Kolko. “The city and the people seem to be in a good mood and good spirits,� he said. “Security is going well, that’s what all the planning is for.�

Hamas seeks to restore order in Gaza Strip the assoCiated Press

GAZA CiTY, Gaza Strip — Uniformed Hamas security teams emerged on Gaza City’s streets Monday as leaders of the islamic militant group vowed to restore order in the shattered Palestinian territory after a three-week pummeling by the israeli military.

Hamas proclaimed it won a great victory over the Jewish state — a view that appeared greatly exaggerated — and the task of reconstruction faced deep uncertainty because of the fear of renewed fighting and israel’s control over border crossings. Cars and pedestrians

Mavs breeze to second SLC win Mavericks Roadrunners

76 59

BY Stephen peterS The Shorthorn sports editor

Behind the strength of four players scoring in double figures, the women’s basketball team coasted to a 76-59 victory against UTSA on Saturday at Texas Hall. From the outset, the Mavericks (8-8, 2-1) took charge of the game, led by the hot-shooting attack from junior guard Meghan Nelson, who scored a game- and season-high 21 points. The win ended UTSA’s (9-7, 2-1) seven-game winning streak and a string of five straight conference wins dating back to the conference tournament. “We just forced them into turnovers, which got us easy shots,” Nelson said about the team’s shooting performance. The Mavs worked on a new zone defense throughout the week prior to Saturday’s game that limiting the Roadrunners’ inside presence and forced them to attempt 35 3-pointers. The new-look defense was also a counterattack against 2008 tournament MVP senior guard Monica Gibbs, who averaged 14.6 points, 6.6 assists and 7.3 rebounds in three games last year against the Mavs. UTSA closed the gap to five with a little less than eight minutes to play in the first at 24-19, but UTA answered with a 12-4 run to end the half up 36-23. After the game, head coach Samantha Morrow said she was very pleased with the way the entire team played on defense and offense. “It was probably one of the top two games we’ve played this year, as far as both ends of the floor,” she said. “Intensity was there. Hustle was there. And focus was there. We carried out the game plan, with a few exceptions, almost to perfection.” After a back-and-forth start to the second half, the Mavs took control and extended their lead to 61-41 on a jumper from junior

The Roadrunners managed to make one last push, narrowing the deficit to 11 with 5:32 to play on the strength of two Amber Gregg 3-pointers and a 3-point play by Gibbs. It would be as close as they would get as the Mavs used a 15-9 run in the last 5:15 to seal the win.

Professor begins gov’t appointment Stolen bike returned The group aims to help returning soldiers with combat distress. By ali Mustansir Contributor to The Shorthorn

Organizational behavior professor James Quick began a Department of Defense Psychological Health External Advisory Subcommittee appointment midDecember and will continue with it in addition to this semester’s duties. The subcommittee focuses on the prevention and treatment of problems soldiers returning from combat experience, the most common being post-traumatic stress disorder. Quick, however, focuses more on prevention by finding the source of the problem. He co-founded the preventive stress management concept and helped form the occupational health psychology discipline. He was also a part of the team that assembled the Organizational Health Center at Sacramento Air Logistics Center and Kelly Air Force Base.

“We should be responding to what the problems are, not what we are good at fixing,� Quick said. The subcommittee was created to provide ongoing expert psychological health advice for the mental well being of U.S. troops. Quick said he believes the government spends a lot of time physically preparing soldiers but isn’t sure the psychological preparation is adequate. “We give pilots parachutes. We give guys on the ground helmets and flak jackets,� he said. “What kind of psychological armor are we providing our troops?� He said one of the most important things Americans can do is support the troops. As an example of how a lack of civilian support affects U.S. troops, he cited the civilian opposition to soldiers serving in Vietnam. Back then, civilians would spit on a uniformed soldier, while they now cheer for returning or departing troops. Col. Joyce Adkins, Air Force senior occupational health psychologist and

long-time associate of Quick, initially contacted him about the nomination in early 2008. Adkins said Quick’s background in organizational stress and occupational health is the main reason she chose him for the nomination. “We are honored he accepted,� she said. Quick spent a week in Washington, D.C. to attend

After his bike was stolen last fall, civil engineering sophomore Justin Naylor didn’t give up hope. Instead, he and his wife kept an eye on bikes listed for sale on Craigslist. Their efforts paid off when an ad from a seller in Oak Cliff appeared Dec. 26 offering a bike for sale that was identical to Naylor’s stolen bike. “I e-mailed him acting like I was interested in buying the bike,� Naylor said. “I got him to read me the serial number off the bike — it matched the number from my bike.� After talking with the seller, Naylor thought he had all the information the police could possibly need to recover his bike — the seller’s name, location, phone number and the matching serial number. He filed an update report with University Police on Dec. 26 and waited. After several days passed with no news, Naylor contacted campus police for an update. “They told me the detectives wouldn’t be in until the 5th, so I’d have to call then,� Naylor said. Concerned the seller might not have his bike much longer, Naylor contacted Dallas and Arlington police, only

to be told their hands were tied because the case was being handled by University Police. The turning point came when he found a cell phone number for Rick Gomez, university assistant police chief, in a crime alert e-mail sent by campus police. Naylor called Gomez to ask about his case. “He had filed an update report, but was having some trouble because of the break,� Gomez said. “I told him to call back and ask them to contact the duty criminal investigator.� That call provided Naylor the solution. Detective John Morrison, the on-duty criminal investigator, was able to pose as a buyer and recover the stolen bike. No other bikes were recovered, but he said police were able to obtain additional investigative leads. Despite the complications caused by the winter break, Naylor said he’s thrilled to have his bike returned and very satisfied with the department’s handling of the case. Though the bike was returned, Naylor’s days of riding to classes are over. “I won’t be bringing a bike back on campus,� he said. “I was thinking about using it to commute, but I don’t want to risk having another bike taken or the same one taken again.� Jason Joyce news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Great Expectations campus anticipates president-elect’s inauguration, policies

A

s the nation worries about the economic crisis and health care issues bringing in the new Year, time will stop and eyes will shift toward the man behind the podium at noon today in Washington, D.c. “Given the serious issues facing the country and the general low approval rating of President [George W.] Bush, I expect the public to give a very warm welcome to the new president,” said Michael Moore, political science associate professor. Barack Obama’s inauguration is expected to be the most expensive in American history totaling more than $150 million, said Allan Saxe, political science associate professor. This amount dwarfs President George W. Bush’s 2005 inauguration, which totaled $42.3 million. “There has been more media attention to this inauguration than most others we’ve seen in past years,” Saxe said. “He has a

pop star quality.” Moore said preliminary indications say this will be one of the most heavily attended inaugurations in history. “All new presidents are welcomed by the vast majority of the public, especially during the early days of their administration,” he said. Some have different views about what should happen during the first 100 days. When it comes to national issues, Saxe said national security should come first, not the economic crisis. “Without national security, there is no economy,” he said. “They fit together very much like a hand in a glove.” Moore said the economy will be the first priority. “next will be Middle east issues including the current situation in Israel, the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan,” he said. Advertising senior Alicia Kania said she hopes that

Obama focuses on things he stressed during his campaign. “I think it goes without saying that the economy is going to be on the front page and in the front of Obama’s mind for a long time during the next four years,” Kania said. “Hopefully health care, alternative energy and civil rights will not be far behind.” Kania predicts his speech will be a message of celebration, optimism and responsibility. “I think his message will reflect his campaign messages of change and hope, and he’ll probably also talk about challenges ahead,” she said. “It will probably be another amazing speech.” Despite his talents as an orator, Saxe said Obama will need more than an amazing speech to prove himself to his predecessors. “He has a wonderful way with words, but it also has to be more than that,” Saxe said. “After stage presence, it’s now a different story.”

He survived an assassination attempt in his first term, was instrumental in ending the Cold War in his second and established supply-side economic policies.

He supported a “strategy of peace” during the Cold War and proposed the Civil Rights Act, which was signed into law in 1964 about a year after his death.

He quickly developed the New Deal to lift the country out of its lowest economic point during the Great Depression, when banks closed in 32 states and two million were homeless.

“In the eyes of many in the world, this every-four-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle.”

“And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”

“… The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
