City to expand home foreclosure aid The city’s plans include providing homebuyer assistance and demolishing ruined structures. BY JOHN HARDEN The Shorthorn senior staff
With an average of 100 or more foreclosures a month in Arlington, the city will begin working on
amendments to improve a stabilization program to reduce home closings in south and downtown Arlington. The Community and Neighborhood Development Committee announced Tuesday that they will propose an expansion of target areas for neighborhood redevelopment while maintaining a concen-
tration on areas surrounding the university. The city has a lot of interest in stabilizing the downtown area, said Councilwoman Lana Wolff, who represents Arlington’s fifth district, which includes UTA. “It’s the students who decide to live in the area around the university after they graduate who help
contribute to Arlington’s development,” she said. “It’s the city’s responsibility to make sure they have a place to live.” Wolff said the city’s helping neighborhoods stabilize will help keep graduates in Arlington. Currently, more than $2 milCOUNCIL continues on page 6
ARLINGTON PLANS • The city is looking to expand on areas in south and downtown Arlington to receive aid to prevent home foreclosures. • The Arlington City Council will vote on the proposed amendments on March 23.

Haynes named SLC’s best
Women advance in tourney Mavericks will face Lamar Cardinals during the semifinals
Marquez Haynes was named SLC Player of the Year making him the second Maverick to receive the honor.
BY CLINT UTLEY The Shorthorn sports editor
KATY, TEXAS - The women’s basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the Southland Conference Tournament with a 68-63 victory over UT-San Antonio on Wednesday night at the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. The Mavericks held the Roadrunners to 29.9 percent shooting from the floor and converted 41.9 percent of their field goal attempts. UT-San Antonio shot 25 percent from 3-point range compared to 35.7 percent from the Mavs. After building an 11-point lead with 8:15 to play in the second half, the Mavs allowed UT-San Antonio to come to within one point, 60-59, with 2:48 left in the game. The Mavs scored five straight points over the next 1:32 to extend their lead to 65-59. Head Coach Samantha Morrow said she was proud of her team’s resiliency to withstand UT-San Antonio’s comeback attempt. “Conference champions won this tournament last year, UT-SA did,” Morrow said. “To beat a quality team like that, the fourth seed, it’s really good for us.” Morrow said she was impressed with BASKETBALL continues on page 3

Senior guard Kiarra Shofner flies towards the basket while attempting a layup Tuesday during the Mavericks’ 68-63 win over UT-San Antonio in the first round of the Southland Conference Tournament in Katy, Texas. The Mavericks advance to the second round of the tournament to compete against Lamar at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.
For all the points he’s scored this season, senior guard Marquez Haynes got a little more recognition on Tuesday. Haynes was named the Southland Conference Player of the Year by a combined vote of the conference’s men’s basketball coaches and sports information directors. Haynes is the second UT Arlington player and the first since Albert Culton received the honor in 1982. Haynes originally thought Athletics Director Pete Carlon Marquez Haynes, was joking when he told him senior guard of the award. “Earlier in the week, the team told me Clavell won it,” Haynes said. “But what they saw was some newspaper wrote who they thought was going to win it. So when he told me, I was like ‘No, I didn’t.’ ” Haynes ranks third in the nation and leads the SLC, averaging 22.8 points per game. His 661 points this season are a school record. The Southland Conference had many players HAYNES continues on page 3

Little wooden table leads to big ideas Student Congress senator Brian Ravkind wants to know what students want changed at UTA. BY JOHNATHAN SILVER The Shorthorn senior staff

PRE-FLIGHT CHECK Aerospace engineering freshman Daniel Glowicz and aerospace engineering junior Abhilash Markkassery test the GPS of a model airplane on Tuesday outside the University Center. They said the plane should be up and flying by spring break.
A hot tub in the Maverick Activities Center, a new 24/7 computer lab and more electrical outlets in the Central Library are among items some students want the university, and particularly Student Congress, to address. SC science senator Brian Ravkind collected ideas from passers-by Tuesday at his resolution stand on the Central Library mall. While others passed without stopping, curious students were drawn in by the homemade wooden stand supported by four legs
and hammered in nails. Others who were intrigued stopped to ask how it was made, which led into conversations about what they would like to see changed. Other students stared at the lemonade-like stand from a distance, pointing and conversing about why it could possibly be there. With a paper in hand, Ravkind advanced toward the groups collecting and asked, “What would you like to see changed on campus?” “The more I’m out here, the more people will take this seriously,” he said. History senior William Barnard, a Ravkind supporter, said the stand is a great outreach tool and that the first -term senator is sincere and wants real RAVKIND continues on page 6

Jack of all trades
Jeff Whatley sculpts, saws wood, welds and helps students succeed. By shamBhu sharan The Shorthorn staff
Monday through Friday, Jeff Whatley spends countless hours sculpting, sawing wood, welding and designing with students. But Whatley is no professor. As the lab manager for the Design Resource Center in the School of Architecture, he guides, watches, directs and teaches architecture, landscape and interior design students to help them succeed in construction and design. As a professional artist, sculptor and expert fabricator, he has a broad range of knowledge about architectural tools and construction materials. He said it’s the students that inspire him. “It’s good that they keep me busy,” he said. “I learn, understand and discover new things from them. I sleep well at night because it is a tiring
job.” Born and raised in Fort Worth, Whatley received his bachelor’s in liberal arts with a concentration in sculpture from the University of Dallas in 1995. He got his master’s in Fine Arts from the University of Washington in 1998 before working at UTA in 2000. Architecture Dean Donald Gatzke said Whatley is more than a staff person — he has a very positive influence on students. “As a support staff, his job is not only to see students not cut their fingers, but he is really a strong person,” Gatzke said. “He has a creative influence on students. He is also important for the school as he helps students with what they imagine.” Architecture graduate student Ian Stowe said Whatley works and talks to each student to find proper solutions to architecture design prob-
lems. Whatley makes an effort to take the time to help everybody, said Stowe, who built display cases and walls in the architecture gallery that were directed by Whatley for the reaccreditation. “He is the only one building models and projects with the students,” Stowe said. Whatley said he enjoys working with students because it is rewarding. “It is challenging and hard to make money as an artist,” he said. “I just feel very lucky to have this job because it is in my field.” Whatley designs many wooden art works, display walls and cases for the school, which are displayed on the second floor of the architecture building. He also has a concrete and steel sculpture on display in the Architecture Building. He even gives a safety ori-

entation to students before they start working in the wood shop. Interior design senior Sherrill Pacheco said Whatley is patient, informative and above all, makes sure that the students are safe. “His eyes and ears are always alert,” Pacheco said. He gets down and dirty with us,” “I am very thankful to him. He makes difficult jobs easier.” Architecture lecturer Marc McCollom and Whatley teach the furniture design and construction class at the Design Resource Center.
“He is a great and very talented guy,” McCollom said. “He knows what he is doing. He encourages students to try to work themselves.” Whatley’s willingness to work here shows generosity and spirit, he said. “It is important for the design students to understand design materials and making things,” McCollom said. “There is no prestige in teaching that kind of hands-on stuff.” shamBhu sharan news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

She said she hopes students will take the opportunity to listen to McKibben and ask questions to better understand his views on sustainability. “Attending McKibben’s talk is a remarkable way to personalize the learning experience,” Remmers said. The book showcases how society has become addicted to the ideas of endless economic growth and consumption. The OneBook program serves as a common book that freshmen read for their English classes. The program also sets the theme for the university’s programming for the school year.

McKibben has also written other books about environmental issues, including Hope, Human and Wild: True Stories of Living Lightly on the Earth, Maybe One: A Case for Smaller Families and Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age. Aside from writing about environmental issues, McKibben is also an environmental activist. He has led two protests against global warming and founded the Web site, stepitup07.org, which seeks to change the policy on carbon emissions.

her team not giving up that lead. “There were a few games this year where we let it slip away at the end,” she said. “I’m real proud of the way we knocked down some free throws and did some good things at the end of the game.” UTA shot 50 percent from the floor in the first half. Junior guard Tamara Simmons scored 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting in the first 20 minutes. Morrow attributed the team’s hot start to good energy and communication. “They knew we had to bring that today,” she said. “If you don’t have that, if you don’t have that fire burning in your stomach, then you’re not going to win those games.” Junior forward Shalyn Martin, who played the whole game, had 10 points and 11 rebounds in the first 20 minutes. Martin said beating UT-San Antonio in the conference tournament was on many of the players’ minds. Senior guard Meghan Nelson went to the foul line six times in the final three minutes of the game. She went 13-of-17 from the stripe on the night. “My mindset was pretty much just stay calm,” Nelson said of being on the line so often. “And just go up and approach each free throw like the last. And just try to come out and hit it.” The Mavericks will face the No. 1 seed Lamar Cardinals at 2:33 p.m. on Thursday in Katy, Texas. CLINT UTLEY sports-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

presence Tommy Moffitt. The senior forward was out with a foot injury early in the season. Moffitt said his main focus will be on defense against Stephen F. Austin. Cross and senior guard Marquez Haynes were quick to note Moffitt’s importance to the team’s defense. Cross said he has charged senior guard Dwight Gentry II with the task of guarding SFA’s junior guard Eddie Williams. Williams leads the Lumberjacks in scoring with 13.4 points per game. Cross said Gentry most embodies the idea of a scorpion for the Mavericks. “He’s a guy that dives on the floor, that does all the dirty work, that plays hard,” Cross said. “I felt like we needed somebody to match Eddie Williams’ toughness and intensity. I think Dwight’s the guy for that. He really thrives on having the opportunity to guard the best player on the other team. To be honest, he hasn’t had the opportunity.” Gentry will get that opportunity against the Jacks at 12 p.m. on Wednesday at the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. “We’ve got the mindset right now of win or go home,” Gentry said. “And we don’t want to go home.”
Greg Young said his team needs to be like a scorpion with defense and attack.

Rank of Haynes in the nation in scoring
During winter break, men’s basketball Head Coach Scott Cross had a conversation with Assistant Coach Greg Young about what type of players they want to recruit to UTA. Young recommended a “scorpion.” Saying it’s in a scorpion’s nature to defend itself and attack its enemy with no regard for personal safety. “That’s got to be who we are,” Cross said. “Defense, diving on the floor, toughness, attack, attack, attack. That’s been our mantra. Who’s a scorpion?” “We need all our guys to be scorpions in order for us to win a championship.” The men’s team has a chance to show its scorpion identity on Wednesday in the first-round matchup of the Southland Conference Tournament against Stephen F. Austin in Katy, Texas. The Mavericks, after winning eight out of nine games during the season, have stumbled into the tournament. They have lost three straight games and the previous game against SFA resulted in a 72-65 loss in Nacogdoches, Texas. In that game, however, the Mavs were without post

vying for the award this season. Head coach Scott Cross said there were at least five players in the running for the award, including Texas A&MCorpus Christi’s senior guard Kevin Palmer, Sam Houston State’s junior forward Gilberto Clavell and senior guard Corey Allmond. But Cross said Haynes’ numbers speak for themselves. “It was going to be close,” he said. “If you look at it from statistical performance, what one player meant to the team, he definitely deserves it.” Senior forward Tommy Moffitt, who played with Haynes at Irving High School, said his teammate deserves any award given to him. “He’s got the numbers,” Moffitt said. “He came to play every game. I think he’s the best guard in the conference. Probably the best player in the conference.” Haynes’ lowest scoring output this season was 12 points at McNeese State in February. He shot 41.9 percent from 3-point range this season and averaged 4.3 rebounds per game. Haynes was quick to say the award wouldn’t have been possible without his teammates and that he respects the award. CLINT UTLEY

T
he earth is changing, so should we. Within the last seven weeks, the world has witnessed earthquakes and a tsunami that has affected humanity. The first earthquake, in Haiti on Jan. 12, received aid from all over the world, including about $713,000 from the U.S. government agencies. The second earthquake, in Chile on Feb. 27, was recorded as one of the largest in recorded history. A strong earthquake was recorded in Turkey on Monday. The earth is changing underneath us and the changes are surfacing with immediate results. Scientists are predicting that the Pacific Northwest Coast of the U.S., which includes California and Oregon, may have the same results as Chile.

CONGRATULATIONS.
EDITORIAL/OUR VIEW
The Sigma Chi house is once again allowed to have parties that serve alcohol. Along with being able to hold alcoholic parties, Sigma Chi, like other wet fraternities on campus, must follow strict rules on how to go about preparing the event. Rules that are, in ways, a misuse of campus resources. When preparing an alcoholic event, the fraternity must submit a typed guest list so a uniformed UTA Police officer can check names and IDs at the door. The party must also be a “bring your own beverage” event or the fraternity must supply a third party contract to sell beverages at the party. If a minor is caught drinking, a member of the organization must turn that person over to police, according to the Greek Life Risk Management Event Policy. In either case, the fraternity has to have at least two UTA Police officers present at the party. Assistant Police Chief Ricardo Gomez said the officers will be present and on special assignment. He said the policy has been the same and no new restrictions are being placed on the house. Gomez said the police are there to make sure everyone enjoys the party and that nothing illegal happens. Underage drinking is a problem everywhere, but it is more important to provide the safest environment possible and to make sure that people who are under 21 are not drinking. Police involvement in a fraternity party is important. Requiring an officer to be near the party would be a better solution than locking them into one house. College students are usually adults and should be able to take care of themselves. The application for an alcoholic party asks whether sober party-goers will be present. The job of making sure attendees are following legal guidelines should fall on them. When someone agrees to take on the responsibility of being the sober person, they agree to be, in part, responsible for the well-being of those around them. If a person in an apartment near campus wants to have a party, the police are not required to be there. The same should be true on Greek Row. The police are not bouncers. The policy should require them to keep an eye out, not baby-sit.

When this event happens, who will come to our aid? How will our government be prepared to handle such a natural catastrophe? What will you do for your fellow Americans? These are all real questions we must begin answering and preparing for. Common knowledge dictates that earthquakes happen most on the west coast, winter blizzards are mostly in the east and everything else is Should the US focus on usually in domestic issues? vote at between. TheShorthorn.com H u r ricane Katrina demonstrated our abilities — or lack of — to put together an immediate response. How will another natural catastrophe play out, and will you do something the next time it happens? As Americans, we must take the initiative to prepare ourselves first and be prepared for the inevitable.
Kenny Jacobs commented on the UTA Shorthorn Facebook pertaining to the video of the Events Center groundbreaking “You would also think that the record enrollment would help these “budget problems” that the administration has created.” Todd Lucas commented at www.theshorthorn.com on the column “Posting online anonymously could come back to bite” No one wants to take responsibility or accountability for their own actions and just want to hide behind the trees and take shots at people without return fire, proverbially speaking of course. It’s a trend that has been slow in coming about, but now it is here with all the force of The Orphan Tsunami of 1700. An entire generation who feel they are simply entitled to do or say whatever they want with no repercussions simply by using one simple word: ‘anonymous’.

change at UTA. “He’s not your typical person in Student Congress who says, ‘Hey! Look at me. I’m in Student Congress — I’m popular,’� Barnard said. “He’s actually trying to have fun with it instead of just window dressing.� As the lunch rush drew to a close, traffic picked up in the mall since students were heading for their afternoon classes. More students in turn visited with Ravkind and expressed grievances. Philosophy freshman Justin Manchester and Ravkind had an exchange about reversing the tobacco ban, which will go into effect fall 2011. Ravkind said that reversing it probably wouldn’t happen and advocated a designated smoking area so that non-smokers would know where to avoid. “You have to come up with a plan that appeases both sides,� Ravkind said. Manchester added that he might resign his proposal to Ravkind’s, should a designated area be the last chance to have any tobacco usage on campus. Ravkind said he would use spring break to research students’ ideas to determine feasibility and submit them in resolution form through Student Congress. “They have to be passed through at the right time,� he said. “If you put them all in at the same time, it’ll be too easy to kill them.� Other senators have taken alternative avenues to reach out to constituents. Some have conducted surveys, created Facebook pages, run election campaigns and met with students during constituency council meetings. Johnathan siLver news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Top: Communications and psychology sophomore evrick henderson, winner of Best Poet, performs at the UAAM UTA Choice Awards on Tuesday in the Rosebud Theatre. above: Jhamelle acoff, winner of Best Male Jigger, dances at the UAAM UTA Choice Awards on Tuesday in the Rosebud Theatre. Acoff and Kwmane Jones tied for the award, so a dance off followed.
A live DJ, a dance-off and temporary technical difficulties kicked off the first UTA Choice Awards. The event, sponsored by United Afrikan American Men, featured a performance by DJ Frosty, whose music had attendees dancing in the aisles of the Rosebud Theatre. A tie for the Best Male Jigger award resulted in a dance off on stage. During the event, several nominees performed live on-stage. Communications and psychology sophomore Evrick Henderson recited a poem dedicated to the ladies in attendance. Henderson said the saying, “behind every great man is a great woman� is wrong. As a great man himself, he would stand alongside her. Other awards included Best Poet, Best Singer and Flyest Fraternity Strut. After each category was announced, a projection showed clips of the nominees. The nominees were selected using ballots that were passed out throughout the university. The top four nominees were then placed on a separate ballot and another poll took place last week. —Stephanie Goddard

Richmond said Thursday’s speakers will discuss Mexican immigration into the U.S. during the 1920s and 1930s, the regional governments of Mexico during the revolution and how the Mexican government tried to bring its indigenous peoples into the mainstream. The keynote speaker Thomas L. Benjamin, of Central Michigan University, will discuss various myths and legends that have arisen about the revolution and how the way the revolution is depicted and how it has affected Mexico. The revolution impacted relations between Mexico and the United States.
