“There’s opportunities for a lot of learning with these events,” he said. “The students spent a lot of time putting together these events. So there’s the educational component as well as the social component.”

Governor pushes for tuition freeze in address Increased funding for community colleges also brought up in speech.

By BRyan BaStiBlE The Shorthorn staff

In his State of the State address Tuesday, Gov. Rick Perry called for a tuition freeze, asking for entering freshmen to have the same tuition rate for four years.

He also discussed in-state tuition for military veterans and more money for community colleges.

“Let’s work together to make college accessible and affordable for more qualified,

motivated students than ever before,” he said in a press release Tuesday.

“Freezing a student’s tuition rates will help families plan for the long term and give students a powerful incentive to finish college in a timely manner.”

Governmental Relations Director Kate Kettles said the tuition freeze is on many lawmakers’ minds.

“This could be helpful to the legislation to have the governor’s backing,” she said.

“There are lots of lawmakers that are talking about reregulating tuition saying the same thing as the governor.”

There is still time before a bill could be passed regarding the tuition freeze, she said.

Members must be assigned to committees, then the bills have to be referred and then heard by that particular committee.

Committees will be named within the next week or the next few days, Kettles said.

Inmate to die for killing fellow prisoner

Americans receiving jobless benefits hits record level

HUNTSVILLE — A high-ranking prison gang member whose violent history included an attack on an inmate with a homemade spear was headed to the Texas death chamber Thursday night for fatally injecting a fellow prisoner with an overdose of heroin.

Ricardo Ortiz would be the second condemned killer executed in Texas in as many nights and the fifth this year in the nation’s most active death penalty state.

Ill. Gov. Blagojevich thrown out of office SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Gov. Rod Blagojevich was thrown out of office Thursday without a single lawmaker rising in his defense, ending a nearly two-month crisis that erupted with his arrest on charges he tried to sell Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat.

Blagojevich becomes the first U.S. governor in more than 20 years to be removed by impeachment.

After a four-day trial, the Illinois Senate voted 59-0 to convict him of abuse of power, automatically ousting the second-term Democrat. In a second, identical vote, lawmakers further barred Blagojevich from ever holding public office in the state again.

Iraq to bar security firm Blackwater BAGHDAD — Iraq said Thursday it will bar Blackwater Worldwide from providing security protection for U.S. diplomats because its contractors used excessive force, sanctioning a company whose image was irrevocably tarnished by the 2007 killings of 17 Iraqi civilians.

The move will deprive American diplomats of their main protection force in Iraq.

WASHiNGToN — The number of people receiving unemployment benefits has reached an all-time record, the government said Thursday, and more layoffs are spreading throughout the economy.

The labor department reported that the number of Americans continuing to claim unemployment insurance for the week ending Jan. 17 was a seasonally adjusted 4.78 million, the highest on records dating back to 1967.

That’s an increase of 159,000 from the previous week and worse than economists’ expectations of 4.65 million.

As a proportion of the work force, the tally of unemployment benefit recipients is the highest since August 1983, a department analyst said.

The total released by the department doesn’t include about 1.7 million people receiving benefits under an extended unemployment compensation program authorized by Congress last summer. That means the total number of recipients is actually closer to 6.5 million people.

Businesses continued to hemorrhage jobs Thursday.

Ford Motor Co. reported a fourth-quarter loss of $5.9 billion and said its credit arm would cut 20 percent of its work force, or 1,200 jobs. eastman Kodak Co. said it’s cutting 3,500 to 4,500 jobs, or 14 to 18 percent of its work force, as it posted a $137 million quarterly loss on plunging sales of photogra-

phy products. Black & decker Corp. said its fourth-quarter profit tumbled 77 percent and the power tools manufacturer announced about 1,200 job cuts.

More signs of the deepening recession came in separate government reports on home sales and durable goods.

The Commerce department said Thursday that new home sales fell 14.7 percent in

december to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 331,000, the lowest pace on records dating back to 1963. For 2008, builders sold 482,000 homes, the weakest results since 1982.

The median price of a new home sold last month was $206,500, a drop of 9.3 percent from a year ago. The median is the point where half the homes sold for more and

half for less.

Meanwhile, new orders for durable goods dropped by 2.6 percent last month, even worse than the 2 percent decline economists expected. orders fell 5.7 percent for the year, the second biggest drop on government records, exceeded only by a 10.7 percent plunge in 2001, according to the Commerce department.

The financial markets fell

on the news. The dow Jones industrial average dropped about 110 points in midday trading.

The tally of Americans filing new jobless benefit claims rose slightly to a seasonally adjusted 588,000 last week, from a downwardly revised figure of 585,000 the previous week. That also was worse than analysts’ forecast of 575,000 new claims.

residents may face long wait for power to return the associated Press

Robert Boxly, left, and Harry Bullington are part of a Halter Tree Service crew working for Vectren clearing power lines of broken limbs and removing branches posed to fall along Vann Avenue in Evansville, Ind. on Wednesday afternoon. Well over a million people shivered in ice-bound homes across the country Wednesday, waiting for warmer weather and for utility crews to restring power lines brought down by a storm that killed 23 as it took a snowy, icy journey from the Southern Plains to the East Coast.

loUiSVille, Ky. — More than a million homes and businesses left in the cold without power Thursday in the wake of an icy winter storm could face a lengthy wait for electricity to come back, even as federal help was promised to two states hit hardest by the blast.

President Barack obama signed requests late Wednesday from Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe for federal emergency declarations. Crews — even the National Guard in Kentucky — worked around the clock to resurrect power lines downed by thick ice.

At a mall turned into a staging area in Barboursville, W.Va., crews in hard hats met alongside piles of poles, generators, wire and other supplies

to find out where to go first. A convoy with crews from as far away as North Carolina was there to help.

“We’re attacking it head on,” said Appalachian Power spokesman Phil Moye. “As long as the ice is still on the trees, the storm is still here.”

Utility officials estimated more than 1.3 million homes and businesses from Arkansas to ohio were powerless, and warned it could be mid-February before some customers had power.

Various charities opened shelters across the region, but with the power out nearly everywhere — including at some radio stations — it was difficult to spread the word. Some deputies went door to door and offered to drive the elderly to safety.

He said all cadets should exhibit loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage toward the honor code.

The underlying definition of honor is the golden rule — treating others the way they want to be treated, he said.

“It is particularly important for our undergraduate students, who are learning about bedside nursing care, to experience technological adjuncts that will keep themselves and patients safe,” she said.

the value of the equipment, Patrick approached the HoverTech CEO and asked him to consider donating its HoverMatt and HoverJack equipment to the Smart Hospital.

Patrick discussed the new technology with faculty and administrators, then further pursued the donation.

When police arrived, the R.A. told police that a resident had reported hearing shouting and a baby crying. The investigating officer reported that when he went to the apartment, he heard women laughing and a baby talking loudly. The residents apologized to the officer for the noise and said they’d keep it down.

“I believe that one of the reasons that our School of Nursing is so outstanding is because of the unique resources that we have as a result of the commitment and support of donors such as HoverTech,” Poster said.

Four graduate students win an award from the American Planning Association Graduate students in the city and regional planning program Douglas Cooper, Douglas McDonald, Donna Moore and Christina Sebastian were awarded the Midwest Section Texas Chapter American Planning Association Student Proj-

ect Award over the break, in addition to the 2008 Texas Chapter APA Student Project Award they received last semester.

The students will officially receive last semester’s award Feb. 4 at the APA Texas Chapter conference in El Paso.

The students competed against projects from around the state, including Texas A&M and UT-Austin.

The winning project, called “In-Between-Connecting People and Places,” was developed in assistant professor Carl Grodach’s urban revitalization course. It was based on the revitalization of a one-mile section of Hemphill Street in the Fort

“The Hemphill plan stood apart from the other student projects in the class for its strong and comprehensive analysis and its integrative vision,” Grodach said.

The Midwest Section award is given to students each year in recognition of excellence in planning or study.

campus recreation

such great heights

Bowling league registration ends soon Registration for the Intramural Sports organized bowling league ends Friday.

The league, which has been a tradition at the university for more than 30 years, will host up to 10 teams, depending on interest, said Tak Momose, Intramural Sports and sport clubs coordinator.

The teams are not limited to students — faculty and staff are also eligible.

Each team can start three bowlers each week, but can have a five-person roster.

Teams must pay $18 a week to cover lane fees, shoe rentals and pizza. The league will last 10 weeks, which adds up to $180 per team.

The league is open to those who want to play com-

petitively and those just looking for a bit of recreation, Momose said. The league will keep score on a handicap system that gives teams an even playing field. Teams play in the University Center Bowling and Billiards.

For those aiming for the championship title, students can look forward to a physical award such as a trophy, medal or plaque — the form has not been decided — and a championship T-shirt. The same prizes apply to the runners-up.

Momose invites anyone looking for a good time to join the league.

“Bowling is fun,” he said.

Recycle

promoting RecycleMania,” Floyd Woods, Arlington Hall resident assistant, said.

“This year, it goes to whoever has the nicest scrapbook with all the trimmings, pictures of the most recycling or somebody potting a plant.”

Residence halls will be doing much more for RecycleMania next month and in March, Denishea Williams, Arlington Hall council president, said.

“Right now, we have to have the next hall council meeting on Feb. 4,” she said.

“So, hopefully, by the time we finish our next brainstorming, we’ll actually have something put together.”

Williams said the council will organize events pertaining to RecycleMania for each day in March.

“We’re going to get all the residents to sign a petition,” she said. “In the petition, we’re asking all the residents to participate in RecycleMania, and there will be a big calendar with crazy stuff until the end of RecycleMania.”

sity’s division winner will be chosen based on the highest number per capita. The university’s division hasn’t been assigned yet.

Valentich said there are different competition categories, but because the university’s recycling contractor, Abitibi-Consolidated, already weighs the university’s recyclables, the Per Capita Classic was the best category for the university.

“They’ll take in how many students we have, how many faculty, staff,” Valentich said.

“Last year, we were in the partial division per capita, and I think we were 35 out of 55, and that’s probably good for the first time out.”

Valentich said the contest was expanded to include the entire campus, but last year it was a competition among residence halls. This year, residence halls are competing to see who can best promote the contest.

“Right now every R.A. has put up a bulletin board

Mavs seek revenge against Bobcats The team looks to get back to its winning ways in a rematch of an early conference game.

BY STEPHEN PETERS The Shorthorn sports editor

With a week of preparation after its last contest, the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team squares off in a rematch against Texas State at 4 p.m. Saturday at Texas Hall.

To open the conference season, the Mavericks (10-8, 3-2) fell to the Bobcats (8-11, 1-5) 87-76 earlier this month in San Marcos in what players described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad loss.â&#x20AC;?

Head coach Scott Cross said his team was able to recuperate during the week and focus on avenging the loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping they have a revenge mentality on their minds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we play like we want revenge and come out and play hard, I think the rest will take care of itself.â&#x20AC;?

The meeting is the 49th time UTA and Texas State will square off, as the Bobcats own a 27-21 series advantage.

Players and coaches expect another high-scoring game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both teams are in the top half of the conference in scoring average, with Texas State and UTA at 73.2 and 82.2 points, respectively.

Last meeting, three players from each team scored in double-figures, the game-high going to junior guard Marquez Haynes with 23. Haynes is second in the conference, averaging 19.2 points a contest.

Cross said the emphasis during practice this week was on the defensive end.

He added that he feels confident in his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring ability but is pushing his team to continue improving defensively as the year moves forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leading the Southland Conference in almost every offensive category. So, defense is where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get better, rebounding [and] those types of things.â&#x20AC;?

UTA must stop the duo of senior guards Brandon Bush and Brent Benson, both averaging more than 14 points a game this season.

The Mavs snapped their 3-game win streak last weekend in a 78-74 loss

Senior guard Jeremy DeWalt attempts a layup during Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice at Texas Hall. The Mavericks will take on Texas State at 4 p.m. Saturday at Texas Hall.

to Sam Houston State. That game, coupled with a UTSA win Wednesday, dropped the team to a third-place tie in the West Division and sixth overall in the conference.

A key factor in UTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent setback was the poor shooting performance from the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16th leading scorer, junior guard Brandon Long. He missed all eight of his field goal attempts and was held scoreless for the first time this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m focused now,â&#x20AC;? Long said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess I had a mental lapse last game, and I took myself out of the game. I should be ready on Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

The Mavericks are 5-0 at home this season and are outscoring opponents by average of 16.4 points in games at Texas Hall. Texas State are losers of five straight since opening the conference with a win against UTA.

Scouting the Mavericks Four Mavericks are in the Southland Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 25 in scoring average. Two of those are in the top 3: Junior guard Marquez Haynes (19.2) and senior forward Anthony Vereen (17.8). Against Sam Houston, UTA was out-rebounded 43-33 and allowed 15 second-chance points while only scoring eight.

Scouting the Bobcats In six conference games this year, the Bobcats have had five different players lead the team in scoring. Senior guard Brandon Bush is the only player to do it twice in conference play. Texas State is losing by an average 13.3 points a game in its three conference road games.

Former Atlantic Coast Conference player Marquez Haynes adjusts to life in the Southland Conference.

BY STEPHEN PETERS The Shorthorn sports editor

After a tough start to the season in which the junior guard scored a total of 18 points and shot 2-of-9 in his first two Maverick games, Marquez Haynes has come on strong lately, giving 20-point performances on a regular basis.

Haynes sat down with The Shorthorn to talk about his previous stint in the Atlantic Coast Conference, his fantasy pick-up game and gives the real reason heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back in Texas.

What is your mentality right before tip-off?

Right before tip-off? Kill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. Just very focused. I try to stay loose but right before tip-off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all business.

What is it like playing with a high school teammate again (Tommy Moffitt)?

Oh itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty fun. You always have that one person that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close with. You know, anytime something is going wrong, I can kind of look at him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty comforting.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speculation around campus as to why you came back from Boston College. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your turn to set the record straight. Why are you here?

I guess I hear a lot, like, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing and a lot of other stuff. But to set the record straight, I was playing 20 minutes a game at BC. The reason Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m back is because at BC, they wanted me to fit into one certain role

and I felt like I was a better basketball player than they felt I was. I played up there, but it kind of wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what I was looking for.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one player you could play one-on-one with, ever, who would it be?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to go with Kobe [Bryant]. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my favorite, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to go with him. So I can test my game against Kobe.

Is that why you wear 24 in practice?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly why I wear 24 in practice.

How many points, in a game to 11, do you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d score on him?

Eleven. [Laughs] Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my only shot at him.

Now when fans in the stands mock

you about the ACC or whatever background you have, what do you think to yourself?

Just shut â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em up. I know when we played Marshall and I was on the freethrow line, they were calling me â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;BC Reject.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I ended up shooting 6-for-6 from the line that game. So I just make sure I try to shut them up. Most times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at them and smile.

Best CD youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever listened to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all time.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have to go with Reasonable Doubt. Jay-Zâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first album. I like Get Rich or Die Tryinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, 50 Centâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first one.
