Lecturer teaches how to understand the new OneBook Speaker hits topics ranging from ‘Big China’ to the Industrial Revolution and energy consumption in today’s world. By nicoLe Luna The Shorthorn Staff
History associate professor John Garrigus said he wants students to take the Deep Economy out of their English class and incorporate the book in all their classes. Room 100 of Nedderman Hall was filled with students and professors ready to hear
Garrigus talk about the “Three Keys to Understanding Deep Economy” on Wednesday afternoon. Garrigus discussed three topics covered in this year’s OneBook, Deep Economy: Big Economies, Big Countries and Big China. The OneBook program selects a book for first-year students to study in their first-semester English composition classes and supplements learning with a lecture series. This year’s theme is sustainability. Garrigus talked about author Bill McKibben’s belief that the Industrial Revolution led to today’s Energy Revolution.

“Industrial Revolution is not about machines but about energy,” Garrigus said. As part of English 1301 classes, students were required or encouraged by professors to attend Wednesday’s event. Undeclared freshman Krystal Belt said she was required to attend one of the OneBook events. She decided to go to this presentation instead of procrastinating. “I was hoping that going to this OneBook event would help me to further understand the book Deep Economy ,” she said. “After attending I realized I learned a lot about ‘Energy Revolution’ and the
countries throughout the ages.” Belt said she hopes she will be able to relate to the text after Garrigus’s lecture. Nursing freshman Michelle Farris was also required to go. She said she was hoping to better understand the book. She learned how a country’s size can affect the economy and how the world’s economy has changed, she said. Garrigus spoke about a country’s definition. Geography, architecture, language and food all define a country, he said. onebook continues on page 6

The university’s goal with the emblem is to improve recognition as a research institution and reduce confusion with UT-Austin. By Joan KhaLaf The Shorthorn senior staff
The university spent $83,500 refreshing its logo, including adding an emphasis on Texas, to reflect UTA’s efforts to become nationally recognized. Texas was highlighted because it is quickly recognized on a national stage, Communications Vice President Jerry Lewis said in a letter to administration. Still, Lewis said that Arlington is very much part of the logo. “The ‘A’ is unmistakably Arlington,” he said. “There’s Arlington all over that logo and Texas just stands out a little more.” Lewis said though a new logo will not lead to a nationally recognized research institution status, the university started thinking about a change at the end of spring after the 81st Legislature passed the Tier One legislation. A quick redesign allowed just enough time to get the logo on new campus signage, university promotions at the Cowboys Stadium and billboards around the area, Lewis said. Paid for by general funds, the university spent $59,500 updating the Identity Manual and Style Guide, which tells different departments how to use identities, and $24,000 on working with Chicago-based marketing and communications firm Lipman Hearne. The university worked with the firm in the past. The updated logo features a streamlined ‘A’ and ‘Texas’ in larger type. ‘The’ and ‘at’ were removed from the name for simplification.

correction Wednesday’s article about UTA’s work-study program contained several errors and misrepresented how the student assistance effort works. First, the program is funded through federal and state sources, not only state funds. Secondly, the program is not underused. UTA students this year will use the university’s $1.3 million allocation for the work-study program. The university will make $8 million worth of work study offers to students because many students who are given the option
of earning financial aid through the program choose either to work elsewhere or to not accept the offer of a work study job. Also, the article should’ve stated that Karen Krause, UTA”s director of financial aid, said the numbers of students applying for the workstudy program are not significantly higher than last year. Lastly, the maximum workstudy award for the fall and spring semesters combined is $3,400; the article stated that sum was the maximum per semester.

PERSONAVACTION by Thea Blessener
Nine could be seen everywhere Wednesday, especially on the calendar. Because it was the ninth day of the ninth month of the year 2009, and landed on a day with nine letters, Sept. 9, 2009, is a date to remember for some. For instance, The Associated Press reported Las Vegas weddings four times above the Wednesday average — 200. It was also a big day in the entertainment business, as a Tim Burton movie and Beatles-themed video game and re-mastered albums were released. The next date to repeat single digits in this way will be Jan. 1, 2101. Although nursing senior Shruti Naik said she didn’t think the date was anything more than a coincidence, she did find the number nine interesting. “It’s the highest single digit number, it’s a perfect square and the time that I get off of work,” she said. Nursing freshman Chinelo Okoli, on the other hand, said the date was sig-
nificant to her, although she didn’t plan to celebrate it in any way. “I got a job today,” she said. “It must be a lucky day.” Burton’s new animated film 9 capitalized on the date through advertising, sparking interest in moviegoers. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world and revolves around a pack of sapient rag dolls. “I can’t wait to see this film,” said undeclared freshman Matthew Johnson. “I’ve been looking forward to it all month.” It was also a great day for Beatles fans, like architecture freshman Ana Gonzales. The new game, The Beatles: Rock Band and the band’s re-mastered album collection, released today partly because of the group’s popular song “Revolution 9.” “I love the Beatles,” Gonzales said. “I can’t wait to play all of their songs on Rock Band.”

• Sept. 9 is the 252nd day of the year: 2 + 5 + 2 = 9. • The number nine regularly appears in Chinese culture, especially in royal dress and architecture. • If you multiply a single-digit number by nine, the resulting two digits add up to nine. • Baseball is filled with nines: nine defensive players on the field at one time, nine standard innings, 90 feet between bases. • In Japanese, the word for nine is a homophone for the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky. source: www.livescience.com

SAN FRANCISCO — It is a day to get dressed to the nines, listen to the Beatles, get married and to ponder whether this is the end of the world as we know it. Sept. 9, 2009 — or 9/9/09 — is inspiring a number of events Wednesday: discounts on weddings, impassioned doomsday predictions and the release of the Beatles’ whole, re-mastered catalog and a Fab Fourthemed video game. A new animated feature film, 9, set in a post-apocalyptic world, will also hit theaters as hotels like Las Vegas’ Bellagio and even a county clerk or two offer special “9/9/09” wedding prices. As the rare date approached, buzz about it picked up on the Internet. On Tuesday, the term “9/9/09” was among the top 100 search terms on Google, while world’s end theories abounded on YouTube.

schedules released, include 2008-2009 national contenders President Spaniolo’s relationship with Michigan head coach helps land game for late December. By Clint Utley The Shorthorn Staff

For the first time in school history the Mavericks will play a team — Michigan state — that appeared in the national title game the previous season. “It started with the president’s [spaniolo] relationship with coach Izzo [Michigan state’s head
coach],” said men’s head coach scott Cross of the game against Michigan state. “It’s a good game for both of us for a number of different reasons.” senior guard Marquez Haynes offered perspective on Michigan state. “I’m excited for it,” he said. “I actually played them twice when I was at Boston College so I’m kind of familiar with them. It’s a big opportunity for us.” the men’s team gets another shot against Baylor after losing by only three points to the 22ndranked Bears last year. Haynes relishes the opportunity for another shot at Baylor. “I think we’re all looking forward to that game,” he said. “that’s a team we feel like we can beat. We owe them one.” the men’s team opens the season saturday, Nov. 14, at home against Dallas Baptist and the women will also begin the season at home against rice on Friday, Nov. 13.

Marco Matteucci became assistant tennis coach on Sept 3. Raised in New York and Italy, Matteucci moved to Texas last week.
Recruitment potential draws addition to staff With UTA’s tennis season beginning in less than two weeks, the university introduced Marco Matteucci as the men and women’s assistant coach last week. Matteucci comes in on a men’s team that is progressing and a women’s team that reached the NCAA Tournament last season with a 17-7 record. Matteucci was drawn to UTA by the recruiting possibilities, as he looks to expand on the trend of recruiting foreign players on both the men and women’s teams. “I thought it was pretty good that this opportunity came up. This team is fairly good and they have been top 30 in the country. I come to a place where I can recruit a lot of international kids, which is what I’m about,” Matteucci said. Matteucci, who played at the University of West Florida, contributed to West Florida’s back-to-back National Championships in 2004-2005. He became the women’s assistant coach for West Florida immediately after his senior season. In his only season as their coach, he helped lead the team to the Gulf South Conference Championship and runner-up in the Division II Championships. Matteucci returned to his home state, New York, as Columbia University’s assistant women’s tennis coach in his next coaching stint. In his two seasons as coach, Matteucci made a name for himself due to his recruiting skills. Last season Columbia’s women’s team had the seventh best recruiting class in the nation, according to the Tennis Recruiting Network. One of the factors that swayed Matteucci’s decision to coach the Mavericks was the opportunity to coach a men’s team. Although he will focus a little more on the women’s team, he still likes the freedom that he is given as coach of both teams, he said. Matteucci attributes his expertise of recruiting foreign players to the 14 years that he spent in Italy growing up.

Congress secretary who worked closely with the university re-branding about three and a half years ago, said the focus at that time was distinguishing Arlington. “We’re not going to be the University of Texas at Austin,” he said, “but we can be the best university in the Metroplex and so we focused on Arlington. We were struggling for an identity amongst the growing pains to emphasize where we are from, what we are and what we are not.” Schnautz said that even though Arlington was the emphasis back then, he couldn’t speak for the university’s goals now because of the student body’s changing vibe. “I think we’re ready to see our university recognized,” he said. Arlington councilwoman Lana Wolff said she supports the university’s decision to emphasize Texas in the logo. “Now is not the time to get territorial,” she said. “UTA is an economic charge for the city. Whatever is best for UTA is best for the city.” The new logo is being phased in slowly because of university-wide tight budgets. By fall of next year, UTA expects the new logo to be completely incorporated. The university is still working on which previous logos to omit and is simplifying the number used. Departments, schools, colleges and other units won’t be expected to dispose of materials with old logos on them this fall. “It’s not uncommon on a university campus to have different logos stuck around at different places,” Lewis said. “We’re not trying to break the bank.” Focus groups — two with prospective students and three with current students living on campus — were formed in the summer to talk about undergraduate recruitment improvement. They also discussed the logo refresh. Students in those groups remained anonymous and couldn’t be contacted. The entire re-branding process in 2006, cost the university roughly $500,000, Lewis said. Schnautz said the amount spent on the current logo wasn’t a huge cost for what would come of the change. “That may seem like a lot of money in college, but out in the real world that’s not a whole lot of money,” he said. “Anything that’s going to help the university push toward the forefront is good. Let’s face it — college is business and everybody’s fighting for more enrollment.” Joan Khalaf news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Blown fuse causes outages in campus buildings Wednesday morning, fixed in 2 hours A circuitry mishap caused power outages in nine buildings early Wednesday morning. TXU Energy, the university’s power provider, had an outage due to a blown fuse, said university spokesperson Kristin Sullivan. The power went out around 6 a.m. and was restored two hours later, she said. Outages occurred in buildings along West Nedderman Drive and South Nedderman Drive. When Sullivan and other officials heard about the power failure they informed occupants of the affected buildings and began planning for a longer period without power, but all the power came back on, she said. Architecture senior John Devlin, a Trinity House resident, said he noticed the power was
out at 5:30 a.m. “I woke up and figured out that my alarm clock was reset,” he said. “I thought it was just my room so I looked outside and I was like, ‘Oh, great.’” The emergency sign in the hallway and the street lights were the only indications of electricity flowing, Devlin said. Devlin said he text messaged a resident director and was told to expect maintenance workers. “I was worried about strangers coming in but I heard a radio, so I knew that a police officer was outside,” he said. Sullivan said she hasn’t heard any complaints.

After ‘revelation’ religious fanatic hijacks Mexican plane
Judge faults removal of wolf from endangered list
MeXiCo CiTY (AP) — A Bolivian religious fanatic briefly hijacked a jetliner from the beach resort of Cancun as it landed in Mexico City on Wednesday, police said. All passengers and the crew were released unharmed. The Bible-carrying hijacker used a juice can he said was a bomb to hold the 103 passengers and crew on the tarmac for more than an hour. Masked police stormed the aircraft with their guns drawn and escorted several handcuffed men away without firing a shot. Police later said there was only one hijacker. Jose Flores, 44, told investigators he hijacked Aeromexico Flight 576 after a divine revelation, according to Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia luna. Flores said Wednesday’s date — 9-9-09 — is the satanic number 666 turned upside down.
Flores, speaking to reporters after he was detained, said he took control of the aircraft with “a juice can with some little lights i attached.” “Christ is coming soon,” he added, smiling. As the plane was landing, Flores stood up and showed his contraption to a flight attendant, saying he and three others were hijacking the plane, Garcia luna said. Flores later told police his three companions were “the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.” He ordered the pilot to circle over Mexico City seven times and asked to speak with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, saying he wanted to warn him of an impending earthquake, Garcia luna said. Garcia luna said Flores is a drug addict who was convicted of armed robbery in Bolivia, and has lived in Mexico for 17 years. Flores described himself as a pastor in southern oaxaca state who had

after the presentation and both speakers will sign autographs.

gone to Cancun to preach. The attorney general’s office said it was opening an investigation into terrorism and kidnapping. U.S., French and Mexican citizens were among the passengers, according to a U.S. official who had been briefed on the situation. The official was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke on condition of anonymity. Passenger rocio Garcia told the Televisa network that the pilot made an announcement after landing in Mexico City that the airplane was being hijacked. “These were scary moments,” she said. Mexican officials negotiated the release of women and children through the pilot before sending in the police. The plane was isolated at the end of a runway in an area designed for emergencies and the airport remained open.

BilliNGS, Mont. (AP) — Hunters can keep stalking gray wolves for now in the Northern rockies, but the killing may be short-lived after a federal judge found problems with the recent removal of the animal from the endangered species list. in a ruling late Tuesday, U.S. district Judge donald Molloy denied a request by environmentalists and animal welfare groups to stop the hunts in idaho and Montana — the first organized wolf hunts in the lower 48 states in decades. Plans to kill more than 20 percent of the estimated 1,350 wolves in the two states would not cause long-term harm to the species, Molloy said. The ruling, however, left unresolved the broader question of whether wolves should be returned to the federal endangered list.
Molloy said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appeared to have violated the endangered Species Act when it carved Wyoming out of its decision to lift protections in May for wolves elsewhere in the region. About 300 wolves in Wyoming remain on the endangered list “The service has distinguished a natural population of wolves based on a political line, not the best available science. That, by definition, seems arbitrary and capricious,” Molloy wrote in his 14-page ruling. The judge said groups that have sued to restore the endangered status of gray wolves “have demonstrated a likelihood of success” in the case. if that reasoning holds, future hunts could be blocked. Molloy sided with environmentalists last year when they argued that a Wyoming state law allowing wolves to be shot on sight across most of the state would put the population in peril.

Workshop on Greek myths to be held A series of lectures on the modern receptions of ancient Greek myths will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. today in the University Center Red River Room. The event is open to the public. “This is a workshop/colloquium in a field known as Reception Studies, a rapidly growing sub-field of Classical Studies that focuses on the relationship between Greco-Roman antiquity and later, post-Classical civilizations that adapt and interpret the literature, art and ideas of the ancient Greeks and Romans,” said Classical Studies director Charles Chiasson in a letter. Speakers are Chiasson, Gonda van Steen of The University of Florida, Scott Williams of Texas Christian University and Anastasia Bakogianni of The Open University,
UK. Steen’s presentation will concern the “scandalous” 1997 production of Euripides’ Bacchae, Chiasson said. Bakogianni’s presentation focuses on the Modern Greek cinema rather than theatre. She has also written several articles on the films of Modern Greek film director Michael Cacoyannis. Chiasson will discuss his published articles on Wolfgang Petersen’s “Troy.” Williams, who used to teach at UTA before he went to TCU, will talk about post-World War II literary adaptations of Homer’s “Odyssey.” Chiasson provided this information in a letter about the event.
