First sustainability director named Meghna Tare was hired Jan. 4 and will take over in leading the university toward conservation. BY JOHN HARDEN The Shorthorn senior staff

To continue its commitment to environmental awareness, the university hired its first sustainability director to help the university bleed blue, orange and green. Meghna Tare was hired Jan. 4 after a previously named director resigned before the job began last fall. As director, Tare said she will coordinate programs geared toward conservation. Tare received her master’s degree in environmental studies from San

Jose State University. Her knowledge in environmental sustainability made her a strong candidate for the position, said John Hall, administration and campus operations vice president. Hall, a President’s Sustainability Committee member, said the university could become a leader in conservation with Tare’s leadership. Amy Schultz, communications and community relations associate vice president, said Tare’s appointment will further the university’s name in sustainability. “Having a sustainability director at UT-Arlington, especially one the caliber of Meghna will not DIRECTOR continues on page 5

“Magic” Johnson to speak at Texas Hall Basketball legend will discuss his new book as part of the Maverick Speakers Series. BY JOAN KHALAF The Shorthorn senior staff

Los Angeles Lakers partial owner and HIV education advocate Earvin “Magic” Johnson will share his tips for success 6 p.m. Feb. 11 at Texas Hall. Visitors to the university’s Web site saw promotional material last week, but it was removed over the weekend because of miscommunication between Johnson’s

team and the university. University spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said the university wasn’t clear on news release approval processes for Johnson’s speaking events. She said the university sent the material for approval by Johnson’s team and expects it to return to the Web site today. Earvin “Magic” Johnson is visiting as part of his 32 Ways to Be a Champion in Business book tour and the Maverick Speakers Series. “He’s got star power,” Sullivan said. “We have no doubt that we’ll pack out the house.”

With Ransom Hall closed, many students may find themselves in a jam

Chair-less desks and cord-free electrical outlets are all that’s left of the Ransom Hall computer center as renovations continue to turn the building into University College. The student success center, also known as University College, will focus on helping students get past freshman year and all the way to graduation — something that will move the university closer to Tier One status, said university spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan. “A measure of the success of a university is its graduation rates and its retention rates. This university wants more students to earn their undergraduate degrees in six years than currently do,” she said. “So, to make that happen, we’re working to attract more academic scholars, but once you’re here we want to give you all the advising, tutoring, and counseling that you need.” Administrators are completing the bidding process to decide who the university will hire to do the renovation. Sullivan said she does not know how far along officials are in the selection process. Construction will begin in February and end in August in time for the fall 2010 semester, according to the Facilities Management blog. However, preparation work must be completed before the actual renovation can begin. As facilities crews rolled carts of equipment and fixtures out of Ransom Hall Friday, they said it took most of the break to transfer computers out of the three-story building. Chief Information Officer Suzanne Montague said that of approximately 130 computers in Ransom Hall, about half of them have been moved to RANSOM continues on page 9

The 1960s were a tumultuous time in American history, replete with historic events. On July 2, 1964 President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. On Feb. 21, 1965 Malcolm X was assassinated in New York City. And in 1966 a young Maxwell Scarlett graduated with a degree in biology, becoming the first AfricanAmerican to receive a degree from Arlington State College, renamed The University of Texas at Arlington one year later. Scarlett returned Friday to the university to give a keynote speech at Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration “Sharing the Dream� Awards Banquet. Born in 1944 in Fort Worth, Scarlett attended segregated schools throughout his primary education. He had never attended a class with white students or been taught by a white teacher, until attending North Texas State University in 1962. He was one of the first three blacks to live in the campus dormitories. White students would ask him questions about class work, a new experience for Scarlett. “I thought: that’s interesting, because we’ve always been told that we were inferior, that we were stupid and dumb, unclean — that our teachers couldn’t teach and we couldn’t learn,� he said.

mittee chairman Zeb Strong said he was pleased to have Scarlett give the keynote speech at Friday’s event. “It’s just an honor to work with him and serve with him,� said Strong, who, along with Scarlett, is a member of the African-American Alumni Association. He said these speeches are an opportunity for students “to learn and grow through seeing role models and hearing about life experiences.� UTA Provost Donald Bobbit attended the banquet. “It was wonderful to have Dr. Scarlett come back and educate us about Dr. King’s life,� Bobbit said. “It allows us to reflect on the thoughts and ideals of this wonderful man.� Scarlett’s and King’s legacies live on in the academic successes of UTA students today. “This freshman class is the most diverse and academically accomplished in the history of UTA,� Bobbit said in remarks delivered at the banquet on Friday. After a long and illustrious career informed by lessons learned here at UTA, Scarlett passes on a simple piece of advice to black students present and future. “Be a student first,� he said. “One who happens to be African-American.�

In addition to sushi, Sushic also serves miso soup for $1.99, potstickers for $4.99, and calamari and seaweed salads for $4.99. Ok said Mav Salads was replaced because of various contracts. “The reason why Mav Salads location was chosen was because it was our own concept with no contract,” Ok said. “We have ongoing contracts with all of the other retail brands that cannot be broken.”

He said salads are still available on campus in the Connection Café and at the UC food court. Bill Laster, Sushic Marketing and Sales Manager, said sushi is a healthier option than other foods students are used to eating for lunch. Sushi was first brought to the university on a trial run that lasted one semester. Ok said while conducting surveys not related to dining options, many students asked what happened to the sushi bar, which helped bring the option back.

Road work continued on Mitchell Street and West Street over the break as the university prepares for major construction on campus. Due to a long standing problem with stagnant water building up the intersection, workers began to install new drainage inlets on the sides of the two streets. The new system will re-route the water to Johnson Creek during heavy rain fall. “This should help drain the entire street better,” said Jeff Johnson, Facilities Management associate director. “We are re-routing over fifty percent of the water to this new line.” The initial work of installing the inlets is set to finish before the end of the week. The project as a whole is planned to be finished in the next two weeks, pending weather. Traffic will not be directly affected, said Johnson. Upcoming construction on campus includes the restructuring of the overhead utility lines on Pecan Street. The lines from various service providers will be taken down and placed underground in preparation of another drainage system planned for Pecan Street. This system will accommodate the planned special events center. The project is not expected to interfere with traffic as workers will be operating from the parking lot adjacent to the

Poetry Night is slam dunk Poets honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

T

he university showcased “Slam Poetry A Evening of Spoken Word” on Saturday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. The event was a partnership between the Arlington Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee, Inc. and the Fort Worth National Poetry Slam Team. About 20 performers recited poetry, danced and played saxophone. The recited poetry covered subjects ranging from being true to one’s self, social issues and honoring Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. Anthony Douglas, Fort Worth National Poetry Slam co-founder, began a poem about the Middle Passage but was not able to finish it. The Middle Passage was when slaves were packed into ships to be sold. “I’ve got to do something else, this is too deep for me. Is that cool,” he asked, explaining that he had lost his grandmother recently. Poet Steve Sanders presented a piece in honor of a friend and mentor who had been a soldier.

“You taught me the price of being free,” he said in his poem. 15-year-old Daniella Willis performed a poem about being herself despite expectations. “You want me to be like you? Do what a girl is supposed to do?...If that’s right, I’d rather be wrong,” Willis read in her poem. Finance senior Alexia Alexander volunteered at the event. She described the experience as a way for all kinds of people to enjoy thought-provoking entertainment. Civil engineering senior Salim Mayberry also volunteered. “[The event] showcased a lot of poets that a lot of people wouldn’t see otherwise and brought them to campus,” he said. Mike Guinn, host and UTA alumnus, holds poetry slams on campus every year. “It was a relevant outpouring of the soul, one that no one should miss in their lifetime,” he said. “Lives change here, lives change.”

leader and entrepreneur and how others could be inspired to do the same, according to Johnson’s Web site. Information systems freshman Andreus Perkins said Johnson’s appearance will be good for the university. “He went from being a country boy to a business man,” Perkins said. “He did more than just basketball.” Johnson is also the Magic Johnson Foundation and Magic Johnson Enterprises CEO. According to Johnson’s Web site, he’s been involved in ownership of some Starbucks franchises, 24 Hour Fitness Centers and movie theaters. Johnson played for the Los Angeles Lakers for 13 years, was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player three times and was part of the Dream Team that won the 1992 Olympic gold medal. Undeclared freshman Cedrick Davis said he’s stoked for the event. “I kind of grew up watching him play basketball,” he said.

Tare said she wants to increase student involvement in the university’s sustainability efforts. “It’s very important for [students] to get involved,” she said. “They are the ones who set the tone for what needs to be done and they are the ones who can make a differ-

Before coming to UTA, Tare worked for the city of Dallas as an environmental manager for three years. As manager, she was responsible for creating a community garden and a plastic reduction program. Tare said she would look to the sustainability committee to help with the move from the city to a university. “I expect to work with the committee very closely,” she said. “They’ve been here longer than I have so I will need them for support.”

Student Governance

Student Congress braces for spring semester ahead SC hopes to address campus issues and resolutions from the previous semester.

FirSt SPrinG General MeetinG When: Jan. 26

By Johnathan Silver The Shorthorn senior staff

A tobacco ban and building repurposing were among major changes announced to the university toward the end of last semester. Student Congress aims to address students’ concerns with those changes, campus security and resolutions rolled over from the fall this spring, SC president Kent Long said. He said he hopes to better relay the student body’s stance on campus-wide issues to the university. One of those concerns might involve the university announcing in early December that Ransom Hall would be repurposed. After the announcement, students began expressing concern to SC members. “It really proved to me the value of finding out students’ opinions of certain issues and relaying that information to the appropriate person,” Long said. Concern further spread when they heard that computers might have been relocated to the Palo Duro Lounge in the University Center. SC unanimously denounced the idea and then administered a petition to keep the room in its current state. More than 3,000 students agreed. Long said he and other SC members couldn’t change the fact that Ransom Hall was being repurposed, but could work with their constitu-

ents to influence the relocation of computers. “We did our part to make sure that [Palo Duro] was safe,” he said. The university also announced a campus-wide tobacco ban, effective August 2011. Students having problems with

the decision may approach the congress, but should know that the elected body cannot simply overturn the president’s decision. The campus-wide ban is a done deal, but the SC can help direct people to the university’s resources, Long said.

“We would help them become more comfortable with the changes to the campus,” he said. “[The university] is trying to make it as painless a transition as possible.” Students like bioengineering graduate student Vidhi Desai want other issues addressed.

Desai said she worries about getting to local businesses from campus, and would prefer not to walk in inclement weather. She said SC should address transportation issues. “My biggest concern is public transportation,” she said. “Most of the good universities have that.” Nursing sophomore Tylesha Hopes said SC does a good job, but would like to see student governance take action on academic issues. “Students who are here [on campus] should have more of an advantage than transfer students when entering UTA programs,” she said. University spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said other ways for students to voice their opinions include working with various committees on campus and responding to feedback forms. She said another way students participate is by student leaders sitting in at the president’s monthly roundtable discussions. “President Spaniolo always listens to students,” she said. “He’s open.”

Haynes career high 38 points helps team overcome Roadrunners

Mavericks can’t outrun Roadrunners

Senior guard Marquez Haynes exploded for 38 points to boost the Men’s basketball team to a 72-66 win over the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday in Texas Hall. “It was like art, man, it was beautiful,” said sophomore guard LaMarcus Reed, describing Haynes’ 38-point masterpiece against the Roadrunners (12-4, 2-1), according to a university press release. After trailing 31-28 at halftime, with only eight points Haynes put the Mavericks (8-7, 1-2) on his back, going 11-for-13 from the floor and 6-for-6 from beyond the arc to lead the Mavs to a 72-66 victory. He also added a board and three assists to the night. Head coach Scott Cross said in a press release he was impressed with Haynes’ career night, calling it “the best I’ve ever seen.” “We were just saying, ‘Quez, go to work,” he said according to the press release. The Mavs only shot 30 percent from the floor in the first half, but were able to respond by holding the Roadrunners to only 35 percent shooting on the night. The Roadrunners came into the game featuring four players averaging double-digits in points, but the stingy Mavs defense held them in check most of the night. Haynes wasn’t the only one scoring for the Mavs that night, as Reed and freshman guard Cameron Catlett combined for 18 points and 10 rebounds. With the first win out of the way for the Mavs, they now set their sights on getting back to .500 in conference play against the SFA Lumberjacks on Wednesday night in Nacogdoches.

With a 2009 overall season record of 23-24 and 17-13 in conference, the Mavs will look to become a more unified team in a battle to win the conference in the new season. It’s a new decade and a new start for softball head coach Debbie Hedrick and the Mavericks. The last decade for the Mavs ended in a disappointing loss to UT-San Antonio in the Southland Conference Tournament. “We need to be more consistent,” Hedrick said. “Pitching was up and down, but we had some great outings.” In the 2009 season, the Mavs struggled across the board in pitching, offense and defense. The offense seems to lack the power that past teams had. When hitting coach Vince Kwasnick was hired in 2006, the Mavericks set a school record with 31 home runs and 110 extra base hits. The following year, the Mavs

nearly doubled that record with 55 home runs and 137 extra base hits. Last season saw the Mavs’ home run numbers dip as the team hit only 45 home runs and had 90 extra base hits. The numbers don’t necessarily pose a concern to the hitting coach. “It’s certainly not the lack of talent,” Kwasnick said. “We just didn’t get as many timely hits. The main priority is to get more hits this season. The home runs will come.” During the fall semester, Kwasnick worked with

the Mavericks on breaking down the mechanics of hitting. The usual batting cages and stationary drills were introduced, but players also saw more “live pitching” during practice. This season the players themselves will make their own decisions when it comes to stealing bases, Kwasnick said. All eyes were on the offense trying to get the team going last season, Kwasnick said. Meanwhile, the defensive side committed 48 errors. But assistant coach Angela Perry said experience will play a huge

role this upcoming season. “We had a lot of freshmen playing in left field,” she said. “This year we will have more maturity in the outfield, so leadership will be there.” Perry emphasizes repetition as key for defense. The “bucket drill” was used in training players to do repetitive motions. Each player will field 10 balls in a row and will do it three to four times each. On the last set, if a player bobbles the ball, she will have to redo the last set again. Although there is renewed emphasis on defensive fundamentals, Hedrick said, the Mavs’ goal will still be the same as the previous decade’s — to win the Southland Conference.

Sirianni said that he observes the individual needs of players in order to help them progress at UTA and in their future draft potential.

ing coach, what do you do specifically to prepare these pitchers for the next level?

Turnovers coupled with a poor shooting performance for the women’s basketball team was the cause of a 69-51 loss to UTSA Saturday at the Convocation Center in San Antonio, Texas. The Mavericks shot a lowly 28.8 percent from the floor and committed 23 turnovers to drop their conference record to 1-2 and 6-10 overall. The Mavericks are next to last in both scoring offense and field goal percentage in the Southland Conference. UTA women’s basketball head coach Samantha Morrow had an explanation for all the missed shots: game speed and game shots in practice. “We don’t practice as hard as we need to, and that’s going to happen in a game,” she said. UTA had 18 offensive rebounds to UTSA’s five, but UTSA converted 18 points off of 23 Maverick turnovers. Currently the Mavericks are last in the Southland conference in turnover margin. On the bright side, junior forward Shalyn Martin tallied her fifth double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Guard Meghan Nelson showed why she is the Samantha Morrow, third leading women’s basketball scorer in the head coach conference, as she had 15 points. The rest of the team combined for 26 points.

Jay Sirianni: “For us, it’s about development no matter what, whether it’s getting them ready to

play professional baseball or to continue to develop to win here. A lot of it is our guys, they’re pretty talented and work hard. I just try to get them into a routine that works for them, whether it’s more long toss and less bullpens or more bullpens and less long toss. It’s really the relationship I form with the guys. Nothing is set in stone with those guys.” TS: Pitching is just as much mental as it is physical. Once you fall into a rut, it’s tough to mentally break out of it. How do you build these pitchers’ confidence back up when they endure an extended slump? JS: “It’s kind of like the shooter’s mentality. As a three-point shooter in basketball, if you’re shooting a lot and missing, then you’re bound to make one. On the mound, you’ve just got to get back on the horse. But our guys are pretty mentally tough. They have to be. Being on the mound is maybe the loneliest place in sports.” TS: Pitching and defense are all the rage right now in Major League COACH continues on page 15

other areas. Thirty-six computers were added to the second floor of the University Center and 10 went to the Web Connection downstairs. Twenty-one Macintosh computers were placed in the Fine Arts Building in Room 411 and crews replaced twentyfour computers in Room 404 of the same building with Macintosh units as well. “We’re taking the rest of the computers that have been in Ransom Hall and updating the other labs that had older computers,� Montague said. With computers now more spread out, she said, students can check the Office of Information Technology’s Web site before heading to a computer lab. The site has a realtime computer availability program that tracks which computers are being used — something Montague says will help students avoid arriving at full labs. “I hope it’s going to be very helpful,� she said. “The biggest issue is if you’re walking across campus to see where computers are, you almost need a computer to look that up.� SHARAYAH SHERROD news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

ing a substantial increase in the number of students using computers this semester. Hopkins said the Central Library currently has 284 computers open to the public, the Architecture and Fine Arts Library has 15, the Science and Engineering Library has 40, and the Electronic Business Library and Social Work Electronic Library each have eight. Students can also borrow laptops from the library. The Central Library has 68 laptops, the Architecture and Fine Arts Library has five, and the Science and Engineering Library has 20. “We’re very aware of what’s going on and bracing ourselves for the demand,� Hopkins said. Jerome Kirby, Arlington Hall resident assistant, said campus residents should use the residence hall computers for projects, but will have to wait for color printing.

Adobe Software Kirby said in the past most student leaders, like resident assistants, used computers equipped with Adobe software, such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Acrobat,

in Ransom Hall to create posters and fliers. They have moved to other locations since the initial renovations. He said the closing of Ransom Hall complicated the resident assistants’ work on projects in that they didn’t know where to go to use Photoshop at first. “We found in the Architecture Building they have Photoshop, so we’ve been going there, but it’s been closing at 10 p.m., so we can’t use it if we need anything after that,� he said. Kirby said the resident assistants are creating handmade posters and projects because they don’t know where to use computers or printers.

The UTA Computer Store The UTA Computer Store will be located in The Gallery in the University Center this semester. Brian Shef, a student assistant for the store, said the new location could cause the store to run out of stock. Shef said the lack of space also makes for good deals for students looking for software as the store tries to get rid of excess inventory to accommodate the smaller space. He said the store’s Adobe products are 80 percent off the retail price,

and the Microsoft software also is steeply discounted, with Microsoft Office for Mac on sale for $29. Shef said the OITmanaged store in the UC will only be open until summer. Plans for a new store are unknown, and students looking to take advantage of the deals should act this semester. “We can’t keep as much in stock as we used to, but we still have the same products,� he said.

Digital Media Studio Workshops The Digital Media Studio offered workshops on Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver in the computer labs of Ransom’s second and third floors. Doug Lewis, studio instructional technologist, said the workshops will be held in the studio’s Central Library basement location from now on. Lewis said the studio is looking into adding tutorials on Adobe Premiere video software within the next two semesters. He said the studio also works one-on-one with students on their individual projects. “The number of seats is limited, but we’re still holding [the workshops] in here,� he said.

In the words of Jazz legend Edward “Duke” Ellington, there are two types of music out there: good and bad. Jazz studies assistant director and pianist Dan Cavanagh would fall into the former category, according to the National Academy of Music, which honored him last year for his composition, “From the Barrage Comes Clarity.” He will be playing with vibraphonist Dave Hagedorn at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Irons Recital Hall. Their set will consist partly of Cavanagh’s own compositions. “His compositions are first rate,” said Hagedorn, artistin-residence at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn. The two met 13 years ago at St. Olaf, where Cavanagh earned his undergraduate degree in music theory and composition.

Cavanagh and Hagedorn will also begin work on a CD this week. OA2 Records, which released Cavanagh’s previous album “Pulse”, will likely release the new CD, Cavanagh said. Most of the album consists of his original compositions. When they play, sometimes the results are unpredictable, Hagedorn said. They’ll have something scripted, but then it will change as one of them takes it in a new direction — with the other close behind. “There’s a pretty deep connection,” he said. Jazz studies senior Darren Hipp took several classes with Cavanagh. He plans to move on to graduate school for a music composition degree, and Cavanagh has been working closely with him during his growth as a music student, both in and out of the class-

room. “You really couldn’t ask for a better professor, as far as that goes,” he said. During his time under Cavanagh’s tutelage, he developed an independent writing spirit. Hipp said Cavanagh is comfortable with the fact that his music is not mainstream. “You have to write the music that you want to write,” Hipp said. “Even if not everyone likes it, that doesn’t really matter. You just have to have pride in what you’re writing.” To expand on the Ellington adage, Cavanagh said good music touches someone emotionally. That’s what he’s about as a composer and musician — playing music that touches others in some way. JASON BOYD features-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Help slowly increases, but so does scale of Haiti tragedy the associated press

Student Run. Student Read.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The staggering scope of Haiti’s nightmare came into sharper focus Monday as authorities estimated 200,000 dead and 1.5 million homeless in the heart of this luckless land, where injured survivors still died in the streets, doctors pleaded for help and looters slashed at one another in the rubble. The world pledged more money, food, medicine and police. Some 2,000 U.S. Marines steamed into nearby waters. And ex-president Bill Clinton, special U.N. envoy, flew in to offer support. But hour by hour the unmet needs of hundreds of thousands grew. “Have we been abandoned? Where is the food?” shouted one man, Jean Michel Jeantet, in a downtown street. The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) said it expected to boost operations from feeding 67,000 people on Sunday to 97,000 on Monday. But it needs 100 million prepared meals over the next 30 days, and it appealed for more government donations. “I know that aid cannot come soon enough,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in New York after returning from Haiti. “Unplug the bottlenecks,” he urged. In one step to reassure frustrated aid groups, the U.S. military agreed to give aid deliveries priority over military flights at the now U.S.-run airport here, the WFP announced in Rome. The Americans’ handling of civilian flights had angered some humanitarian officials. Sunday’s looting and violence raged into Monday, as hundreds clambered over the broken walls of

shops to grab anything they could — including toothpaste, now valuable for lining nostrils against the stench of Port-au-Prince’s dead. Police fired into the air as young men fought each other over rum and beer with broken bottles and machetes. Hard-pressed medical teams sometimes had to take time away from earthquake victims to deal with gunshot wounds, said Loris de Filippi of Doctors Without Borders. In the Montrissant neighborhood, Red Cross doctors working in shipping containers and saying they “cannot cope,” lost 50 patients over two days, said international Red Cross spokesman Simon Schorno. The latest casualty report, from the European Commission citing Haitian government figures, doubled previous estimates of the dead from the magnitude-7.0 quake, to approximately 200,000, with some 70,000 bodies recovered and trucked off to mass graves. If accurate, that would make Haiti’s catastrophe about as deadly as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed an estimated 230,000 people in a dozen countries. European Commission analysts estimate 250,000 were injured and 1.5 million were made homeless. Masses are living under plastic sheets in makeshift camps and in dust-covered automobiles, or had taken to the road seeking out relatives in the safer countryside. An impoverished nation long at the bottom of the heap, Haiti will need years or decades of expanded aid to rebuild. For the moment, however, front-line relief workers want simply to get food and water to the hungry and thirsty. The delays aren’t “so much about food supplies as logistics,”

said Brian Feagans, a spokesman for the aid group CARE. The priorities are clearing roads, ensuring security at U.N. food distribution points, getting this city’s seaport working again and bringing in more trucks and helicopters, WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran said in Rome. The U.N. humanitarian chief, John Holmes, said in New York not all 15 U.N. food distribution points were up and running yet. “That’s a question of people, trucks, fuel, but the aid is scaling up very rapidly,” he said. Evidence of the shortfall could be found at a makeshift camp of 50,000 displaced people spread over a hillside golf course overlooking the city. Leaders there said the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division had been able to deliver food to only half of the people. American forces were to be reinforced by 2,000 Marines arriving off Haiti’s shores aboard three amphibious landing ships. Getting clean water into people’s hands was still a dire concern. “People can survive a few days without food but we must try to avoid major outbreaks of waterborne disease,” Feagans said. Clinton and accompanying daughter, Chelsea, pitched in, helping unload cases of bottled water from their plane to a U.N. truck. Some aid groups and foreign officials have blamed the U.S. military for slowing down aid deliveries, saying the American units that took charge of the small Port-au-Prince airport last week gave priority to U.S. military flights. Doctors Without Borders said Monday its specialists were 48 hours behind on performing surgery for critically injured patients because three cargo planes loaded

aso holding ribbon sale to benefit haiti The African Student Organization will host the Haiti Relief Ribbon Sale at the University Center Mall and Central Library Mall beginning Tuesday morning. The ribbon sale will continue through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. All proceeds will be sent to the American Red Cross, who is diligently working with the relief effort in Haiti. “We wanted as many organizations on board as possible,” ASO President Eleanor Khonje said. “We’re concerned about the relief. What’s the best thing we can do now? People want to feel like they’re giving something.” Ribbons will be on sale for $1 each. “There is no specific goal, but if 200 people come to buy ribbons, that is $200 we can send to Haiti,” she said. “We want people to feel like they’re contributing to the cause. People are compelled to give.” After an extensive online search, the color blue was chosen because it symbolizes pro-activeness and justice. “Blue is a humanitarian cause,” Khonje said. “We wanted to have a color that would mean something.” ASO will also be assisting other organizations in hosting a talent show in the Lone Star Auditorium on Thursday at 7 p.m. All proceeds from both of these events will be sent to the relief effort in Haiti.

State Leaders ask universities to trim 5 percent off budgets Limit 1 Per Customer

Welcome UTA Students! www.brownbagetc.com

Welcome Home Mavericks!

Hunters Point

AUSTIN (AP) — University officials are poised to trim any excess from the 2010 budget. It’s not part of a New Year’s resolution, but a request from state leaders. Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus are asking state agencies to submit plans for reducing their budgets. It’s been less than a year since the state budget was written, but the Republican leaders appear to be

preparing for prolonged state revenue declines and a tough 2011 budget-writing session. In a letter to agency heads, the three asked for a plan to reduce expenditures by 5 percent no later than Feb. 15. They also asked departments to minimize the impact on services. University spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said the administration already operates a conservative spending policy. However,

administrators haven’t announced a plan in response to the request from state leaders. The current state budget, which started in September and extends through August 2011, allocated about $87 billion in state money to the agencies.

Baseball. Does this trend have an impact on UTA’s baseball philosophy? JS: “Not so much. Our ballpark is really hard to score in. It sits backwards and blows from the south quite a bit. It’s a big ballpark, but really in college baseball, you’re going to score. I mean, at the end of the day, you’re going to score three runs. It’s the team that prevents the big inning, and that’s one of the things we talk about mainly as a staff. Don’t walk guys, make them hit and field the ball when you get it hit to you.” TS: Your team earned run average improved from 5.83 to 4.38 last year. To what do you attribute this improvement? JS: “Experience. We had an older group with guys who had been through a lot, and they’d had some successes in the past. Last year, they all just kind of came together, but the experience is the biggest thing. [Ryan] Robinson had a great year. I think he won 11 or 12 games in two years here as a left-hander, and he’d set the tone on weekends. Nate was a guy who could get guys to swing and miss, and that shut down

The ShorThorn Saturdays pretty well. And on Sunday, we had guys who’d been through the battle a few times.” TS: Nathan Long and Ryan Robinson are huge losses for the staff. Who are we counting on to fill that third and fourth rotation spot behind Rett Varner and Jason Mitchell? JS: “Logan Bawcom will be big for us, a transfer from Midland College, so he’s going to be important. Brody Walker is a lefthanded freshman who, stuff-wise is pretty good, but has got to learn to pitch a little more. Preston Beck will be big for us, but we’re going to be young. I like our talent, but the younger side makes it a little scary.” TS: What do they bring to the table? JS: “Our players are mainly velocity guys, trying to get swings-andmisses. Sam Hansen’s kind of a sinker guy, and Brody Walker is going to end up being a swing-and-miss guy from the left side. So it’s going to be an interesting mix of guys, but it’ll be different from last year.” TS: You’ve been able to get 16 pitchers into major league systems in the past six years, including Nathan Long and Dillon Gee. Do you think it’s anything you’re doing particularly? JS: “It’s our guys, it is. It’s their make-up their

blue collar attitude that gets them there, I’m just here to help. Doesn’t mean I’m always their mother.” TS: What are your expectations for 2010, and why should UTA students be excited about the upcoming season? JS: “Well, we’ve got the 13th best player in the country according to collegiate baseball, so between [Michael Choice] and Rett [Varner], we have some pretty good talent. We’re going to play a great schedule every year. Teams from all over the country come in. Plus, this is a younger group without as much experience, so they’re going to be playing with their hair on fire, so it’ll be fun. We’re excited to be around this group, we like our athletic ability, but the experience side is a little scary.” TS: If you weren’t a baseball coach, what would you be? JS: “I couldn’t tell you. My dad was a college coach, and my brother is a high school coach, so this is what I’m supposed to be doing.” TS: Super Bowl prediction? JS: “Colts and Vikings. I like Brett Favre and Peyton Manning, so I guess I’m kind of a quarterback fan.”

Officials consider adding university honor code

UTA tobacco committee accused of bias at forum

Professors discussed ways to reduce scholastic dishonesty in a meeting on Wednesday. BY CAROLINE BASILE The Shorthorn staff

University faculty members wonder if adding an honor code will increase education standards. In the 2007-’08 academic year, the university handled 218 scholastic dishonesty referrals, an increase from 110 in the 2006-’07 year. Dur-

ing its February meeting, the UTA’s Academy of Distinguished Teachers expressed interest in researching the concept. Organizational behavior professor Jim Quick said the purpose is to help ensure that students’ work — like essays, research and papers — is original. In the academy’s Wednesday meeting, Mary Lynn Crow, education professor and chairwoman, presented research from various universities with honor codes in

Attendees at a tobacco-free forum Thursday accused the Tobacco Free Campus Initiative committee of creating biased survey questions about tobacco usage to get desired results, siding with other agendas and not having a legitimate argument for changing the current policy.

Marketing assistant professor Fernando Jaramillo said he teaches students about the importance of sales in this climate. “We talk about issues like how you can employ sales strategies to convince people to continue doing business with you, even during a time of crisis,” he said.

Spring Semester 2010

Since 1919 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Your Life, Your News

Our goal at The Shorthorn is to provide news, information and a public forum for UT-Arlington’s growing, diverse and active campus community. The Shorthorn is UT-Arlington’s student-run newspaper. It is published Tuesday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters, weekly during the summer semester and is available 24/7 online at www.theshorthorn.com. Here’s some information to help you utilize resources The Shorthorn provides for the UTA community.

HOW DO I GET A STORY IN THE SHORTHORN?

HOW DO I PUT AN AD IN THE SHORTHORN? Advertising helps pay for The Shorthorn. We make our lowest ad rates available to campus organizations and departments. Contact Sales Manager Mike Love, admanager@shorthorn. uta.edu, to discuss paid advertising. Registered student organizations also may be able to earn discounts for paid ads by participating in Shorthorn marketing initiatives. Contact Marketing Manager Kevin Green, marketing@ shorthorn.uta.edu. The Shorthorn also offers free classified ads to current UTA students placing ads for themselves. Free ads can be placed in person at The Shorthorn office. (Bring your student ID with you.) To place a paid classified ad, come to our office or go to our Web site.

The Shorthorn is divided into sections, and each section has an editor who decides what content will be published in that section. If you have a story idea or coverage request, contact the editor whose section is most similar to your event or topic. (See “Contact Us” information below.) If you’re not sure which editor to contact, e-mail Editor in Chief Mark Bauer, editor.shorthorn@ uta.edu. The editor in chief has final authority over all Shorthorn news and editorial content.

MARK BAUER

Editor in Chief editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

It’s the people, stupid. As blunt and cliché as it is, that saying has been woven into The Shorthorn’s fabric since its inception in 1919. Over the last two semesters we’ve tried to emphasize the brand as a forum for the community by working under the tagline, “Your life. Your news.” The people on campus—students, faculty and staff—create the dynamics we’ve reported about for the last 91 years, and as the people change, so do the mediums we use to report.

HOW DO I GET MY OPINION PUBLISHED? The Shorthorn publishes guest columns and letters to the editor from readers about topics of interest to members of the UTA community. These reflect the opinion of the writer and appear on the Opinion page with the writer’s name and photo. Submit letters and columns to Opinion Editor Ali Mustansir, opinioneditor.shorthorn@uta.edu. Include your name and telephone number. You also can comment about Shorthorn articles online.

Last semester we started a beta version of a webcast called The Shorthorn After Dark. The name didn’t stick, but the idea did. This semester, we’ve increased the size of our online team to build and shape our online presence, which includes the webcast. The webcast will include expanded video coverage of the same stories you see in the paper, just a night earlier. In the beginning, we’ll post two webcasts per week but transition to four—one per issue—by mid-semester.

WHY DOES THE SHORTHORN WRITE STORIES ABOUT SOME EVENTS AND NOT OTHERS? On any given day, there are more things going on than Shorthorn reporters and photographers can cover. Decisions about what to cover are made each day by Shorthorn editors. Timeliness of a story is always a factor: Something happening today is more timely than something happening

While those things and more are on our radar, it’s impossible to blanket the entire campus, no matter how diligent we are. In order to report and printing news that affects our readers, we need to participate in an ongoing discussion with our readers to discover what matters to the community. We have an idea, but sometimes we miss the mark.

This isn’t to say we are going to neglect our print edition, not by any means. The Shorthorn will continue to print and produce stories that matter to our readers, whether on campus or in the surrounding community. An in-depth look at the Ransom Hall makeover, the Special Events Center ground breaking, the university’s pursuit of Tier One and on-campus gas well drilling are all things readers can look forward to this semester.

two weeks from today. Editors also consider the significance and potential impact something will have on UTA students, as well as human interest when considering stories about people, trends and things like that. The amount of space available in each day’s edition is determined by the number of ads sold for it. If you have an event that you would like for The Shorthorn to write about or cover, contact editors at least a week in advance: If you wait until the last minute, all available staff and space on the day of your event may have been assigned to other stories before editors knew about your event.
