The world is their stage
Projects halted by lack of investors
Students from 9 organizations strut their stuff.
Creating housing incentives along UTA Boulevard is a project put on hold.

nternational Week’s theme, Global Fusion, took form at Wednesday night’s International Week Fashion Show. Japanese kimonos and Indian saris were present, but nine international organizations had their own stabs at the western suit jacket. A golden Laos’ suit, a current Indian fusion of suit and traditional wear and a blazer with complimentary Nepali Dhaka Topi represented the world’s cultural fusion. The event, hosted by the International Student Organization, had a standingroom only Bluebonnet Ballroom showcasing the outfits of various cultures. English junior Anna Garcia coordinated the event. “The audience should see a lot of cultural creativity,” she said. The Taiwanese Student Association performed dances and short skits. Most of their models walked in boy and girl pairs and continued a thread of romance even through different time periods represented by clothing. Their show started with a tribal man hunting a lion for his sweetheart and ended with a bartender making bubble tea for her blue-collar man. Aerospace engineering

As Arlington continues its mission to help the university develop, many downtown development projects are being held due to lack of investors. Until the economy rebounds and investors return, the city is investing millions into the university to help reinvigorate downtown development. “We’re unable to put a timeline on any of the proposed projects because the economy has us at a standstill,” said Ken Devero, Downtown Arlington Management

Students kick shoes to the curb By Johnathan silver The Shorthorn senior staff
Theatre arts sophomore Logan Whatley normally walks the campus without wearing shoes. But today, he might not get the stares and flak. He and other students will celebrate TOMS Shoes’ third annual One Day Without Shoes event by marching on campus to raise awareness for children who don’t own a pair of shoes. UTA Volunteers mem-

Corp. president and CEO. Some of the projects on hold include making improvements along Division Street, creating incentives for housing along UTA Boulevard and redeveloping the May-Ray neighborhood. The May-Ray neighborhood is bordered by the site of the special events center on the west and Mary Street on the east “There has been a growing lack of private investors investing into the city,” he said. “Without investors coming to downtown, the area is going to struggle. It’s something every city is dealing with.”

ber Tiffany Kaminski said she helped bring the annual event to UTA for the first time because TOMS Shoes philanthropy is one of her passions.
The group will have a booth set up from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the University Center mall. Participants will march barefoot beginning at 1 p.m. from the Central Library mall and back to the University Center mall. Most people take their shoes for granted, Kaminski said. “It’s a good movement and inspires people to help those across seas,” she said. TOMS Shoes is a company that sells shoes, but also promotes good will by donating a shoe for every shoe it sells. The compaShoeS continues on page 6

Arlington City Hall held a public open house Wednesday which gave residents a second chance to suggest ways to improve the city’s bike lanes and walkways. In January, the city and consultant company Greenways Inc. gave residents a chance to contribute to the development of the city’s Hike-and-Bike master plan. Sidewalks in need of repair, the lack of bike lanes and the inaccessibility to UTA were some issues residents and students raised in the first open house. The city plans to de-
velop a hike-and-bike system that will add and connect more sidewalks and increase biking lanes in the city to create a safer environment, said Alicia Winkelblech, city transportation planning manager. The city analyzed pedestrian facilities and compiled a map showing areas that can be improved, she said. “I would bike a lot more if there were more lanes and if the city made it safe for bikers to ride,” economics junior David Stark said at Wednesday’s open house. “It seems that people view bikers as an inconvenience because we slow down traffic.” Stark, who bikes to UTA daily, said he would hiKe continues on page 6

Designing Rooms Today, Clothing Tomorrow
ne interior design professor said she wishes she and her students could develop and market a couture collection, but for now, she only has space in the School of Architecture Gallery to hone in on that dream. Students in Interior Design II are designing clothing to showcase in the Interior Design Art Exhibit on April 16 at the School of Architecture Gallery. Students are using fabrics and recycled materials like paper bags, hemp string and cork to construct their creations. This is the first time the program is designing clothing for an exhibit. Rebecca Boles, Interior Design program director, teaches a class to address the practical aspects of interior design. For the clothing design project, Veronica Casado Hernandez, a visiting professor and costume designer from Spain, is helping Boles work with students to design garments for display. The School of Architecture Dean’s Advisory Council will view the student’s designs at the exhibit and look for potential employees. Interior design junior Jenny Prieto said the project expands her learning experience. “It is very interesting to see our approach in fashion design as interior design students,” she said. Prieto designed a dress made from a blue-dyed woolen blanket wrapping the left arm and down to the feet. “The concept comes from a water drop which represents life,” she said. “The idea of the dress is to show water falling down throughout the center of the body. The rest of the dress is a rigid structure to hold the fabric that represents the water.” The interior design course is dedicated to three projects. The current project will end with the design of a retail space based on the ideas present in their clothing designs. Boles said students are accustomed to thinking about interior design strictly in architectural terms and so far, the class has produced some amazing results, both in quality and quantity of ideas. “I chose a project that would offer me and the students an opportunity to learn from Veronica about the allied discipline of fashion design,” she said. “The exhibition of clothing is not an end in itself. The conceptual ideas behind the clothing will be the basis of their final interior design project for the semester.” Boles said the course’s content
eyelets. He said instead of using stuffing and cotton, he uses coastal grass as a reinterpretation of materials typically used in clothing. Ballard said it is good for the students to take architectural theory and apply it to clothing. “It broadens the understanding of architecture theory and construction,” he said. “This is another way to influence architecture.” shambhu sharan news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

helps develop student’s skills as interior designers. Hernandez said she has experience working with people from other disciplines and that students are not familiar with designing the clothes. “The class gives a fresh approach to the creation of garments,” she said. “The result is amazing because students are not trained in this field. They work with different interior design concepts.” Interior design junior Magaly Torres said she is creating a garment symbolic of nature and aquatic animals. “I will design a space with the same conceptual idea with which I designed the garment,” Torres said. “The garment will reflect those details by tucking, overlapping, and wrapping. I am currently experimenting with a combination of dark fabric, veil, crinkled paper and scored tape.” Interior design junior Amanda Lee said she is designing a dress out of different papers and ribbon and will explore with materials. “I played around with different ideas and experimented with different techniques,” she said. “It is interesting to go from a fashion point of view to interior spaces and architecture.” Interior design junior Timothy Ballard is making a vest out of sheer plastic, coastal grass and aluminum

Dean addresses students’ concerns Forum focuses on lab equipment and students’ space in new facilities. By Justin sharp The Shorthorn staff
Science Dean Pamela Jansma spoke on the current state of affairs and future plans for the college at an open forum Wednesday. Jansma responded to questions and written comments posted on an opinion board during the weeks leading up to the forum, and answered questions from students in attendance. Many day-to-day issues were covered, ranging from worn-out microscopes and other lab equipment to the need for a working printer in the Science Education and Career Center. “Obviously, that’s something that needs to be addressed,� Jansma said. She assured the students she would work to get a printer for the center. “Microscopes are always an issue,� she said and promised to look into it. Other issues were raised concerning the future of science labs and other space once construction on the new Engineering Research Building is completed in January 2011. “We’re in the process of deciding who is moving to the new building,� Jansma said. “We will retain the space that is cleared up, as we will be hiring new faculty.� She referred to growth in the college and acknowledged that students have had trouble getting into the sections they need when they need them. Addressing remarks that the Life Science Building and
Science Hall are dated, lacking adequate power supplies for laptops and other features, she said the buildings aren’t designed for a modern science lifestyle. But there are no plans in the near future to build new facilities. “The need is clearly recognized, but the UT System has indicated they don’t intend to build any new buildings,� Jansma said. The dean was also asked about cuts in state funding, including the recent request by Gov. Rick Perry that state agencies return five percent of budget funding. “The basic mission of education is not going to be affected,� Jansma said. Natalia Vargas, Science Constituency Council president, said she was pleased with the results of the forum. “It was actually really successful,� she said. “I had hoped for a little better turnout, but considering that it was rescheduled, the number of people who came was good.� She said the opinion boards worked well and that they were a great way to raise issues to the dean. The opinion boards were placed around campus, and students wrote down comments with their concerns. “She’s going to be able to fix those issues that are within her control,� Vargas said. Biology junior and SCC secretary Liz Chen said these forums aid in efforts to unite the college. “Going to these events helps students to understand things that are going on around them in the college,� she said.
Sustainability display informs about healthy, but affordable eating habits. By charlotte lee The Shorthorn staff
Plastics, book binders, fireworks, corn syrup, adhesives, polish and shoes are made out of corn. This was one fact at the Freshmen Leaders on Campus’ Food Sustainability Display. The exhibit runs daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until April 16 at University Center Palo Duro Lounge, features facts about food and tips on healthy dieting, reading nutritional labels and saving money on groceries. Education freshman Candace Turner said she learned several facts from the displays. One example was of a girl who became paralyzed after eating hamburger meat composed from four different states. She said she learned that the regulations set by the Food and Drug Administration are not strict enough. The exhibit features about 26 displays showcasing various facts. One display, Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, lists 64 different tips on healthy eating habits, like eating only food that rots, not to eat breakfast cereals that change the milk’s color and treating meat as a flavoring or special occasion food. Different cardboard displays show how many calories different foods contain. “My family has diabetes, my aunt died from diabetes, so I
take my health seriously and quit drinking soda,� said Jorge Negrete, French international business junior. The student-smart grocery list display shows a series of common and healthy food items that can help students create a list within their budgets. “I went to different grocery stores and wrote down the food prices, organic or not, just to prove you can eat healthy, affordably,� said political science freshman Eliz Flyer, a member of the organization who did

research on food prices for the program. The exhibit also shows what other countries are doing to help the environment. In India, people are educated on efficient water management and adopt
more effective irrigation methods. In South America, improved crops reduce the need to clear more forest for agriculture. Nursing freshman Liseth Duque gave tips to students on how to stay healthy. “Students should pack their lunch and think before they buy junk food. They should get fruit instead of chips, take small steps, and exercise to balance their life,� she said. charlotte lee news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

University and national fraternity officials are still investigating a potential hazing incident involving some members and pledges of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity’s UTA chapter, also known as Fiji. The March 2 incident report came from one third-party observer’s account of what appeared to be a physical altercation among some of the fraternity’s members and pledges, said Bill Martin, Phi Gamma Delta fraternity national executive director. “One person’s horseplay is another person’s assault,� he said. On March 31, Martin said

Arlington alumni involved with the chapter are trying to determine whether it constituted hazing or innocent horseplay. “I don’t believe that what occurred is the type of thing that would justify any sort of criminal allegation,� he said Tuesday. The fraternity’s charter is still in place, but the organization may not participate in any officially sponsored events, including intramural sports. Kirby Hargis, Centennial Court apartments director, said the incident happened within the complex, outside and no police were present. Assistant police chief Rick Gomez wouldn’t comment on whether UTA Police had responded to the incident, only
that the Student Conduct Office is investigating. Fraternity members also wouldn’t comment. The university takes all hazing investigations seriously and individuals, as well as the organization itself, may be found responsible, said Seth Ressl, Greek Life and University Events director. “Hazing can result in everything from suspension from campus permanently all the way down to probation,� he said. “Hazing is hazing, but it depends sometimes on the context like the individuals and how much the organization is involved.� In a previous story in The Shorthorn, Ressl said the inci-

dent was severe enough to be concerned about the safety and security of the students. Organization initiations or activities cannot include any feature that is dangerous, harmful or degrading, according to the Student Conduct and Discipline section of the UT System Board of Regents Rules and Regulations. The Student Conduct Office generally tries to resolve cases within 45 days, but because the incident involves an organization, Student Conduct director Heather Snow said she wasn’t sure when the investigation would be complete.

Likert scale survey applied to dorms New housing questionnaire reduces roommate preference ambiguity. By Lorraine Frajkor The Shorthorn staff
The Housing Department has upgraded the survey that students take to determine their roommate preferences for next semester. The questionnaire formerly asked nine yes or no questions about students’ personal attributes. The survey is now expanded to ask 21 questions on a Likert scale, a method that asks respondents to specify their level of agreement with a statement or question. The upgraded survey is
part of the housing application, and every student has to fill out the form — whether applying to live on campus for the first time or reapplying. “We’re really excited about the opportunities this provides for students,” Residence Life director Mari Duncan said. Based on the student responses to these questions, the computer will match students with similar interests, she said. Management senior Steven Brown has lived on campus for four years and said the new survey is an improvement. “It creates more accuracy by giving more choices instead of just yes or no ques-
tions,” he said. “So if you really don’t have a yes or no answer, you can just pick one in between.” “Are you outgoing?” was one of the questions on last year’s survey, nursing freshman Austi Roberts said. This question, she said, was too broad compared to the new survey. “It gives you more of a range to showcase your personality,” she said. On the upgraded survey, students can rate their interest in hobbies such as reading, video games, religious activities and arts. For example, instead of asking the question, “Are you quiet?”, the survey has been changed to ask, “How quiet are you?”
Another question allows students to choose approximately when they wake up between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. Economics sophomore Zlati Matushev said the old surveys were effective in some ways, but not others. He said for example there are different levels of cleanliness. “It’s based on a personal preference,” he said. “I think I’m clean, but other people might not think so.” In this way, the Likert scale survey allows students to rate their personal preferences more accurately, he said.

When he posed, he whipped out a cigarette, took a draw and flicked it into the audience while waiting for his disco-era partner. “The stage play presents what’s going on with the period,” he said. The Fine Arts Society of India divided their showcase into time period. They began with colorful, ornate outfits, but when they entered the period of Ghandi outfits were much simpler. Chandrika Byrappa, computer science graduate student, walked with a white khadi, her’s a sleeveless top going to the hip complemented with brown, tight leggings and a yellow scarf. “This is what they all used to wear,” she said. “It’s all hand woven.”
She said they wore simple clothing to match the teachings of Ghandi, who wanted peace. Biology sophomore Toria Ates said she prefers the ornate outfits. “I liked to see all the Indian outfits,” she said. “Those are the ones that really stood out to me because they’re shiny and pretty.” Most organizations performed in chronological order but the Japanese Union for Maximizing Potential displayed parts of Japanese culture. From historic samurai and ninja to the current nerdy and voyeur-like Otaku and even the maid fetish culture. At the end of the night, civil engineering sophomore Sarah Chawang said she liked the performances but couldn’t decide on her favorite outfit. “I don’t know,” she said. “I really don’t know.

On-campus residents to do their part in the Census Students will be timed on how long it takes them to complete the form. By Monica s. nagy The Shorthorn staff
At last, UTA residents can party to prevent fines. Lipscomb Hall will hold a census party for its residents today. Arlington Hall, Kalpana Chawla Hall, Brazos House and Trinity House will throw Census parties Monday. The parties will supply residents with free food and beverages while they fill out the census form. In the TV lounge of Lipscomb Hall hangs a sign that reads “Get Found or Get Fined,” alluding to section 221 of the U.S. Code that says anyone above the age of 18 can receive a fine of $100 to $500 for refusing, neglecting to partici-
pate or putting false information in the census. The party at Lipscomb Hall is scheduled to take place tonight at 9:30 p.m. in the lounge area. Pizza, wings and soda will be served while students fill out the form. Prizes will be given out at the party, including household items like laundry detergent, said Glory Ehiogu, Lipscomb Hall office assistant. “It’s a good way to meet new people and fill out and turn in the census,” said the nursing junior. Evelyn Cornejo, Lipscomb Hall office assistant, said it’s important to get a snapshot of the students at UTA because those students may be able to get more financial aid from the government in the future. KC Hall will have its census party at 7 p.m. Monday in the Great Room.
Megan Cristwell, KC Hall office assistant, said it only takes ten minutes to fill out the census and that they’re going to try and prove it by timing residents filling out the census. Arlington Hall will have its census party on Monday in the Great Room, the party time is yet to be determined. The party will be “catered in some way, shape or form,” said Jerome Kirby, Arlington Hall resident assistant. Kirby said they are currently considering party dishes from Chili’s. “Since we have a very creative group of resident assistants, we’re going to try to make it a fun event,” the biology senior said. Arlington Hall resident Nicole Anonuevo said she is a big proponent of the census because it shows who lives where and allows the

Senior guard Marquez Haynes to play in invitational tournament For senior guard Marquez Haynes, the road to the NBA starts here. Haynes will take part in the portsmouth Invitational Tournament beginning Wednesday night. The tournament is a four-day, 12-game tournament in front of NBA representatives. The tournament features the top 64 seniors from across the nation, divided into eight-man teams, who will compete against each other to prove to NBA general managers, coaches and scouts that they belong in the NBA. Haynes said he wants to come out aggressive and show NBA personnel he has the ability to play at the highest level. Haynes noted his shooting and athleticism as his strengths and said the only concern NBA officials may have is that he hasn’t faced top-flight competition since he transferred from Boston College to UTA. Aside from downplaying the level of competition he has faced while at UTA, Haynes said his ability to run the pick-and-roll and make the right decisions off the pick will be vital to showing he can be a point guard in the NBA. Haynes said playing with these top players is nothing new, noting that all the players are just as athletic as him and it will actually help his game. “I can put the ball anywhere and my teammates can go up and get it, whether it’s on the fast break or off the pick-and-roll,� he said.

Mavs face Louisiana-Lafayette Cajuns, both undefeated in conference The women’s tennis team will look to improve its 9-4 season record as it battles Louisiana-Lafayette at 2 p.m. today at the Tennis Center. The women, who defeated Southland Conference opponents Sam Houston State 5-1 and Stephen F. Austin 5-2 last week, are looking for a good tune up as they approach their final weekend of conference play. Since 2005, the Mavs have won two matches against the Cajuns. The last scheduled match was cancelled in 2007. Heading into the last weekend of conference play, the Mavs will have a chance to go undefeated in the Southland Conference. The Mavs will play their last two conference matches against Northwestern State on Saturday and Central Arkansas on Sunday at 11 a.m. Assistant coach Marco Matteucci said he doesn’t expect the team to win easily. “If we compete well, we can come out on top,� he said. Matteucci also said the match against Northwest-

ern State will be a battle for first place. “Girls just got to want it,� he said. “They will be coming at us strong.� When asked about the talent level of Northwestern State, Matteuci said they all play well. “Northwestern has only lost one non-conference match,� he said. “But we have a much stronger schedule than they do.� As well as the team going undefeated, sophomore Maria MartinezRomero will look to go undefeated in back-to-back seasons. Martinez-Romero is currently sitting at 9-0 in conference.

Jay Rees said. “We didn’t have a good outing in our last tournament, but we have gotten better in practice.� The last time the Maverick golf team finished second was at the UTA/Waterchase Invitational in Fort Worth in September. Junior Wes Worster tied for third as he shot a 6-overpar score of 219 to lead the Mavericks. Junior Zack Fischer finished in a tie for fifth place. The 2009 Southland Conference second team All-Amer-
ican shot a 7-over-par score of 220. After finishing tied for second on the first day of competition, junior Donald Dowie finished the final round with a score of 226 to finish tied for 21st. Senior Bryce Easton finished the second day with the best score among the Mavericks as he shot 72 and finished in a tie for 26th at 228. Senior Bobby Massa finished Tuesday, tying at 39th at 231 as he shot a score of 79. Senior Trey Herring fin-
ished in a tie for 42nd and shot a 2-over-par at 73. The Mavericks finished the first day in third place after a two-round score of 587 and were five shots behind Wichita State. The Mavericks will have their final tune up before the Southland Conference Championships on April 26-28 as they will compete in the Jim West Intercollegiate in Victoria, Texas on April 12-13.

The men’s tennis team look to bounce back from its Tuesday night Southland Conference loss against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a match against Utah at 2 p.m. Friday at the Tennis Center. The Mavs, who lost 4-1 on Tuesday, will play Utah for the first time. Utah is 6-11 overall and 1-1 in the Mountain West Conference. Assistant coach Marco Matteucci said it’s nice to play a new team. The Mavs, sitting at 6-9 overall and 1-1 in conference, are looking to get back on track after their loss to the Islanders. Head coach Diego Benitez said he’s hoping to
get a win before the team goes on the road at the beginning of next week. “We have conference matches this upcoming week,� he said. The Mavs will travel to San Antonio on Monday, April 12 to take on UT-San Antonio at noon and Edinburg, Texas on Tuesday, April 13 to take on UT-pan American at 4 p.m. The Mavs will look to freshman Yauheni Yakauleu to lead the team, as the rookie has a four-game winning streak and leads the team with nine single’s competition wins.

Downtown continued from page 1
The May-Ray neighborhood is one area of downtown that stakeholders hope will benefit from the completion of the special events center in 2011, Devero said. Devero said the area is targeted for redevelopment, which involves developing restaurants, offices and new housing. But the recession has made it too risky for investors to make major investments until downtown begins to strengthen.
With developments such as Babe’s Chicken Dinner House, the special events center and the College Park parking garage and residence hall, downtown will begin to strengthen soon, said Barbara Becker, Urban and Public Affairs dean. “I expect land value to rocket once the special events center and garage is complete,” she said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there were investors hanging on to the land and waiting for its value to increase.” Becker said the potential increase in land value would generate more tax revenue for the city, giving the city
the Buildings funds it needs to move forward. “Investors realize that all this area needs is time,” she said. “Once the special events center is completed, the city will begin to see signs of development.” Becker, a city-planning expert, said Arlington has everything it needs in place to grow, but until the economy strengthens, it will take time to lure back investors. Major city development depends on investors as well as city funds, and private investors aren’t willing to take any risk until the economy turns back around, she said. The corporation’s com-
mittee chair Moody Alexander said with construction of the special events center underway, investors will begin taking notice and return. “Things are happening,” he said. “Downtown is getting a new face, and it’s all beginning with the special events center.” The city has made the right decision to invest millions into the university’s College Park, a parking garage wrapped around a residence hall, he said. The $36 million garage includes more than 24,000 square feet of retail and office space located on the

The city can’t grow in its current state, Becker said. She said downtown areas need attractions that residents and visitors can enjoy at all hours. “Downtowns need to be open for 24 hours if they want to grow,” she said. “Arlington can’t expect to grow if it’s only busy during lunch time.”

Kaminski said she hopes many people participate. “We hope people just walking by are inspired and stop by,” she said. Whatley said he elects going barefoot because it’s more comfortable, but added that his counterparts, who can’t make such a decision, deserve at least a day of recognition. “It’s good that people go barefoot for at least one day a year to get an idea of what s o m e people “We have it do year r o u n d ,” easy.

DR. RUTH Q: I’ve heard that people can become sexually aroused by staring into someone’s eyes. In fact, I’ve heard the term “eye sex.” Is this true?
what can I do to persuade him to get tested for STDs?
A: Do you know whether he used a condom? I know that condoms don’t provide 100 percent protection, but if he used a condom and it didn’t fall off or break, he’s probably OK. The sad truth is that if he did this once, he’s likely to do it again, and he’s unlikely to get himself tested over and over Dr. Ruth again. But, luckily for Send your you, you’re not sleeping questions to with him. On the other Dr. Ruth Westheimer hand, if he finds somec/o King Features one to date, that’s when Syndicate perhaps you should do 235 E. 45th St., some prodding so that he New York, NY gets himself tested. 10017
A: I’m not sure if “sexually aroused” is the right term, but certainly when you lock eyes with someone, you are sending a message that you are interested. If it’s the first time you are locking eyes, then you’re going to have to get to know each other a little more. But if you already have a relationship, then staring into the other person’s eyes could be considered sexually provocative and could arouse one or both of you. But I think there’s only so far that one can go if the interaction is limited to looking into each other’s eyes, so while some people may be using the term “eye sex,” it doesn’t mean that this type of interaction falls under the banner of an actual type of sex. If there’s anybody out there who actually has become sexually aroused, or even had an orgasm from eye sex, please write to me. Q: My friend slept with a prostitute. How should I handle this, and
But testing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, which is why I never use the term “safe sex” -- because there’s no such thing. The problem is that even if a person caught a disease, particularly HIV, it might not show up in a test for as long as six months. So, going for a test might make someone think that he or she got away with something when in fact he or she didn’t. So while it’s good that such tests are available, they’re far from foolproof.
