er tiny apartment is just as she left it. It is sparsely decorated and features shelves with neatly stacked, graduate-level books. It’s as if Lijing Liu would be walking though the door any minute. Instead, the electronic engineering graduate student is lying in a hospital bed attached to a breathing machine. On July 13, shortly after returning to the U.S. from a visit to her parents in China, Liu became ill and collapsed in her home. Her friend, Wei Wang, an electric engineering graduate student, rushed her to Arlington Memorial Hospital, where it was discovered that Liu suffered a stroke due to an intracranial hemorrhage. A congenital condition of the brain called arteriovenous malformation caused the hemorrhage. According to the Web site of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, most people with the condition are not aware that they have it until it ruptures. Liu had two blood clots on her brain that ruptured and began to bleed, which caused her to fall into a coma. One clot was removed by surgery and the other is still in her brain

tissue. This clot cannot be removed until Liu wakes up from her coma. Wang contacted Liu’s parents in China and arranged for them to come to the U.S. with the help of the Chinese embassy in Houston. In addition to the pain of their only daughter fighting for her life in the hospital, Liu’s family is now faced with being unable to pay for her medical treatments. They received funds from private contributions, but the funds soon diminished. Coma continues on page 6

Commercial real estate growth and value has suffered because of the nation’s economy, but a new program in the School of Architecture is training students to turn distressed property into thriving investments. Program director Michael Buckley and Fred Forgey, graduate programs in real estate executive director, are partnering to offer a certificate in property repositioning and turnaround strategies. The 13-hour graduate-level program, which began last Thursday, teaches students how to redevelop existing commercial estates into profitable assets, Forgey said. “ W e teach how to look at wHaT do the physiyou THink? cal attributes that Share your can be opinion about modified the new along with program in the School of the finanArchitecture. cial elements,” he Register as said. “After a user at analyzing theshorthorn. both ascom and pects, then comment on we deterthis story. mine what modifications can be made.” The current real estate market has taken a hit partly because of home foreclosures and an unemployment rate of 8.2 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Last year’s unemployment rate on Sept. 1 was 6.2 percent. The program is designed to appeal to working professionals, like project managers, bankers, architects, developers and real estate brokers.

Grant to support new green project Classes will focus on sustainability and how it affects students’ careers. By JoHnaTHan Silver The Shorthorn senior staff
With the help of $150,000 from the National Science Foundation, three departments inside the College of Engineering will start the project Engineering Sustainable Engineers. The civil, electrical and industrial departments will mix sustainability concepts into sets of their undergraduate courses. Three or four required classes from each department will add environmental education using programs like PowerPoint for homework assignments, tests and discussion topics.
They will then be downloaded and used in other classrooms. Funding came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, according to the award summary. NSF funding officially begins Sept. 1 and expires August 2011. “The focus this semester is to just get things ready to go,” said project director Melanie Sattler. From Introduction to Engineering to senior classes, sustainability issues will be addressed so incoming students will be familiar with the subject throughout their undergraduate careers, Sattler said. “The curriculum is already packed,” she said. “We didn’t want to just add another course that gRant continues on page 3

Camp aimed at raising spirits If the first event proves successful, the program may be repeated in future semesters, Mr. UTA says. BY BRYAN BASTIBLE The Shorthorn senior staff
It all started one night at a Texas Rangers game. The newly elected Mr. and Ms. UTA developed an idea to boost school spirit like never before. Their idea is now a reality. Freshmen participants will learn about the university’s history and traditions, such as Oozeball, a mud volleyball tournament, and the Bed Races, an event of racing beds at Maverick Stadium, while also learning the Mav Cry and the fight song. The UTA Ambassadors will host Mav Camp from 8:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday in the University Center upper level. “We figure if we start with freshmen, then after four years we’ll have a school full of Mavericks who have lots of pride rather than a handful that we currently have,” said Ms. UTA Rosita Tran.
Biology freshman Brian Hoang, who commutes from Mansfield, said staying late to go to Mav Camp will give him a taste of campus night life. “Going and meeting people with the same common interests and goals will allow me to feel more comfortable about doing activities with them and going to their clubs,” he said. Mav Camp will be different than what the freshmen were exposed to previously at New Maverick Orientation because it’ll be more hands-on, Tran said. More than 100 students have already signed up and orientation leaders will be there to help with activities and other surprises, she said. Students can still register by visiting the Student Governance and Organizations Office in the UC lower level, and doing so helps UTA Ambassadors estimate how many freshmen to plan for. Nonregistered freshmen are still welcome. Nursing freshman Taylor Pisciotta said she is considering the idea of going to Mav Camp. “I don’t want to go just because it
seems kind of long. However, I am kind of interested in learning more about school spirit,” she said. Mr. UTA, Omar Rosales, said that they might have Mav Camp again with the residence halls in the spring depending on how things go this semester. “A lot of students don’t know about UTA and that’s what we’re trying to change,” he said. People still see the university as a commuter school because many students just go to class then they go home, Tran said. “They don’t get to see that UTA has a ton of school spirit and a lot of students are involved. They just see the inside of the classroom and that’s about it,” she said. “However, if the Ambassador program could expand their [students’] knowledge of UTA tradition and spirit, even a little bit, then we are well on our way to fulfilling our goal.”

education and health ProfeSSionS
New title better defines research, professions After a year, the Higher Education Coordinating Board gave final approval to the modification. by Shambhu Sharan The Shorthorn senior staff
The College of Education changed its name to the College of Education and Health Professions to better represent the Kinesiology Department and increase recruitment. Kinesiology is about improving human lives said Jean Gerlach, College of Education and Health Professions dean. The college now includes kinesiology because graduates will go into a profession which is similar to education but focuses on the human body. “It will not only recognize all the good work we are doing now, but the change will make it possible to grow in different directions,” Gerlach said. “It will help us recruit students who may want to enter the medical profession — physical therapists, athletic trainers and occupational therapists.” Kinesiology chair Louise Fincher said her department wants to develop a new health education program, but it will take at least a year. The department has a greater ability to add health-related programs with the name change of the college, she said. “It brings a lot of credibility to our students and departments to recognize our role in health care professions,” Fincher said. “The new name better reflects the Department of Kinesiology.” She said she is excited about the name change which reflects her academic programs. The majority of the academic kinesiology programs prepare students for carriers in health professions, Fincher said. The department is poised to help reach Tier One status. “I would like to see kinesiology grow in research productivity and continue to strengthen our education’s reputation,” said John Buckwalter, research and graduate studies associate dean. The name change took one year to receive final approval by the Higher Education Coordinating Board, Gerlach said. Exercise science senior Glenn Hodge said he considers the new name more ac-

curate because just education seemed to imply everyone would be teachers. “The name change makes it more clear to me as kinesiology is health professions,” he said. “I chose exercise science because I was fitness-minded and realized it’s the place for me.” Administrative assistant Susan March said the nursing program is different than health professions. “There is always some confusion,” she said. “Health-professions-related students often come to us and we direct them to kinesiology.” Shambhu Sharan news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

students could just forget. If you have repeated exposure, it’ll sink in.” Sattler said the project would promote interactivity. One idea she had was creating games, like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” designed with sustainability questions. Benjamin Afotey, an environmental engineering post-doctoral student, worked with Sattler on a past project that taught high school teachers how to teach parts of an engineering curriculum. “Engineering courses are known to be a little intensive,” Afotey said. “The more that students get involved in the field the greater the chances of them addressing the problems that we are facing right now, like the environment.” Sattler will also work with researchers from other engineering departments. “We’re not going to do this for two years and quit,” she said. “We’d like to expand to different to departments and colleges. The engineers need to know this stuff, but so does everybody else.” Another component of the project will expand on engineering student internships. Sattler and her team will survey companies and decide on ones with sustainability practices. Students would intern with the top five, she said. Course materials for class will be sent to the Center for Sustainable Engineers, Sattler said. “This will contribute to the education of engineers who can design systems and technologies that have a small environmental footprint and

What Doesn’t Kill you... After a sidelining injury last year, a star Maverick player is anxious to take the court and make the kills By Trevor Harris The Shorthorn staff
“It was hard. I knew that I could have helped my team last year because I was one of the few players that had that college experience.” Bianca sauls,
junior outside hitter
When head volleyball coach Diane Seymour saw that Bianca Sauls wasn’t as active as she normally was after a routine play, she knew Sauls had suffered an injury. She also knew that it would have a tremendous impact on her team. “It was a very tough blow when you talk about one of your dynamic and most experienced players going down in that kind of fashion,” Seymour said. “But Bianca is a strong kid and I knew that she would come back healthy, and she has. She is a very good athlete.” After a long offseason of rehab, Sauls is back and ready to help lead the team. During the eighth game of the 20082009 season Sauls said she suffered the worst injury of her career. Her team was in a tightly contested match against Texas Christian, and Sauls was locked in on defense. When Sauls saw the ball cross the net, she went after it, but her
body didn’t hold up. “The ball started one direction and then was deflected in another direction,” she said. “As I was going for the ball I tweaked my body a way that it shouldn’t have, and it just tore.” Sauls’ injury is commonly known as an avulsion of the rectus femoris, which means her right hip flexor tore due to her quad muscle ripping from her pelvis bone. The injury sidelined her for 18 games last season. The team went 3-15 in that stretch and finished the year 7-23. Sauls sat on the bench just cheering, knowing that there was nothing else she could do. “It was hard. I knew that I could have helped my team last year because I was one of the few players that had that college experience,” Sauls said. “It would have been good if I was playing, but it was a growing process for the team.” She started the rehab process at the end of last season. It lasted until spring, which involved working on her hip for
an hour and a half everyday. “I didn’t really like going in there everyday because it got a little monotonous, but I realized that it was something I had to do,” she said. Sauls’ trainer was unavailable for comment, but Scott Lacefield, volleyball sports information director, said her progress started to pick up in the spring. “The spring is when she really had a chance to come back full blast. She was able to work out her hip and quad good, and by the end of the spring season she was back to full strength,” he said. Sauls said that she still feels soreness from time to time, but the pain is relatively gone. With that in mind, she is focused on this year and leading her team in the right direction. “I expect to just come out on the court and win,” she said.

real estate continued from page 1
“Right now the market is oversaturated and there’s not a lot of investments or jobs in the industry,” said architecture junior Javier Valadez. “I believe it was a good idea for the department to come up with this. It’s a good, creative way to cross both business and architecture, which opens up more job opportunities for us.” With increasing unemployment, the need for students to learn a variety of skills is becoming more important and some students are taking note, said Dat Van, business and economics senior. “There does seem to be a growth of new programs in schools in the country that seem to be created to help the economy recover,” Van said. “I think that the slow growth of real estate has
hurt the country, but I think that as more students learn new skills it will help the economy in the long run.” The road to recovery could be long and it may take years before the country begins to see significant growth, but this is the perfect time to begin programs like this, Forgey said. “In some cases, the impact of a program like this can be immediate,” he said. “Then again, it’s hard to say and may take up to several months, but the economy needs timely programs like this.” Don Gatzke, School of Architecture dean, told the Fort Worth Business Press that he sees the popularity of such a certification growing and eventually evolving into a master’s degree in development.

The former during his presidency and the latter during his campaign. And then for 47 years in the

U.S. senate, Edward M. Kennedy, was the “Lion of the Left.” The Kennedy name graces a quarter of the United States history, regardless of your party or your personal feelings on the personal matters of the Kennedy family, there were many issues they confronted for the American people, and legislatively, Sen. Ted Kennedy accomplished many things that have helped to better many lives. In 2008, Ted Kennedy ended his speech at the Democratic National Committee saying, “There is a new wave of change all around us, and if we set our compass true, we will reach our destination... The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on.” Rest in peace, Sen. Kennedy.
It Ain’t Over Yet H1N1 virus still a concern in the Metroplex, but there’s no need to panic, again. After the first North Texas death from the illness, the H1N1 virus is dominating the news cycle again. A 52-year-old woman in Dallas County was confirmed to have the virus after she died last week. There have been 10 confirmed cases at Texas Christian University, according to a press release, and CBS is reporting that there are 80 other TCU students there who are ill with flu-like symptoms. Dr. Jennifer Ashton, the medical correspondent for CBS’s “Early Show,” said the vaccinations will start in the middle of October and two doses will be needed. Ashton said two ways to get the vaccine are provided, a nasal spray containing a “live but weakened” version of the virus and an inactivated injection. The nasal spray is not approved for women who are pregnant or people EDITORIAL with chronic medical ROUNDUP conditions.

Ashton said they hope to administer 52 million doses by midOctober and 20 million per week after that with an estimated 195 million Americans, two-thirds of the country, vaccinated by the end of the year. The CDC is reporting that although H1N1 affects all age groups, those 25 and younger are at the most risk of contracting the virus. The WHO’s Western Pacific director, Shin Young-soo, said that more cases and more deaths are certain. The WHO had estimated earlier that a possible 2 billion people could be affected over the next two years. The Shorthorn reported Thursday that the WHO declared the virus a global pandemic in June. Please take care to wash your hands, use hand sanitizer in areas where large groups congregate, and get to the doctor immediately if you experience any flu-like symptoms at all. —The Shorthorn editorial board consists of Cohe Bolin, Jason Boyd, Mark Bauer, Dustin Dangli and Shawn Johnson.

Red Chinese good luck charms suspend around her intensive care unit room at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.
Web siTe in Honor of Lijing Liu: http://soundmap.org/Lijing/
Wang and three others formed a committee led by biology graduate student Qi Wang to help raise more money for her hospital costs and to arrange for her parents to get back and forth to the hospital. Qi Wang said members of the Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars have been sharing the responsibility of taking the parents to and from the hospital. “Students have been taking her parents to the hospital,” he said. “But with school starting, it is getting harder to find them rides because everyone has classes.” He said students also helped raise money for the Liu family. According to Qi Wang, the hospital costs for Liu are estimated to be about $10,000 a day at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth. Liu came to the U.S. from China about a year ago with Wei Wang to take part in the
university’s graduate studies. Her small frame earned her the nickname “little girl” by her friends. Her dad Jun Liu said she’s known to be a happy girl with big dreams. At 21, she is the pride of her family. Liu’s mother and father stay in her apartment. The secondfloor, one-bedroom apartment is painted brown. The home has no central air, only a window fan, and simple furnishings. But the air is filled with the smells of home cooking as her mother Ling Liu continues to keep up her daughter’s home. Chemistry graduate student Ying Zhang is also a member of the committee helping with donations for Liu. She said the
donations started coming in shortly after forming the committee. The group has raised $21,240 so far. Wang developed a Web site called “Bless Lijing Lui” at http://soundmap.org/Lijing/. He said he also plans to make posters and donation boxes that will soon be seen around the campus. Her father said the doctor told Liu’s family to give up. He said he’s told they can’t predict when she might wake up. “We won’t give up on her,” he said. “She is our only child and a lot of people love her.” Temicca HunTer news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

he 2009-2010 volleyball team is hungry. Whether it be for more wins after a difficult 2008-2009 season, or for a good dinner after an exhausting practice. “We’re always hungry,” outside hitter Alicia Shaffer said. “So we’ll all get together and go out to eat or we’ll cook cookies at our house.” Shaffer and her teammates look to improve upon their seven-win season from last year and welcome back junior Bianca Sauls from injury. Shaffer returns with fellow sophomores, hitter Amanda Aguilera, hitter Eld-hah Kaswatuka, middle blocker Emily Shearin and hitter Tara Frantz. Redshirt sophomore middle blocker Christy Driscoll is in her third season with the team.

Joining a new team and adjusting to college life can weigh on a first-year player, but Eld-hah Kaswatuka said she has grown more familiar with the coaching staff after a full year with the team. “The main thing we learned as freshmen is how to handle the coaching staff,” Kaswatuka said. “Trying to do what they want, trying to listen more and give them good feedback.” A squad so dependent on freshmen a year ago has shown considerable improvement in preseason. Head coach Diane Seymour sees many qualities in these sophomores that will be enhanced.
