UTA gifts double from last year The university’s $68 million endowment is a good start, President Spaniolo said. BY J.C. DERRICK The Shorthorn staff

UTA did not just break its own previous record for philanthropic

support — it smashed it. Friday the university announced the total number of gifts and pledges during the 2009-2010 fiscal year had more than doubled from the previous year, up from $5.9 million to $14.8 million. “We don’t have a long history of philanthropic support, but I think

we’re now building a base for what will be a strong base of philanthropic support for years to come,” UTA President James Spaniolo told The Shorthorn. “We need that as we pursue becoming a major research university, and we need that just to support the university as state support is dwindling for higher education.”

Earlier this year, Gov. Rick Perry informed all state agencies that they would have to cut their budget by five percent for the 2010-2011 year. The last fiscal year ended Sept. 30, headlined by a $5 million gift from Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc., the largest donation in the university’s history.

“We’ve achieved some new record highs in terms of fundraising which are significant, but we’ve got a lot of progress we need to make,” Spaniolo said. One of the key factors spurring UTA’s growing philanthropic efDONATIONS continues on page 3

Bill White talks up education The former Houston mayor said he’d help cut tuition as governor. BY NATALIA CONTRERAS The Shorthorn staff

Strong students’ interests on issues including, the cost of higher education and immigration brought them together to hear democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White’s stance on the issues. With elections coming up Nov. 2, students educated themselves by asking White questions on issues

concerning them. Students need to get educated on current events because they will have a role to play in the upcoming election, said Mahsa Kashkooly, University Democrats president and political science and philosophy senior. “We need to use our voice and coming out to these events gives us the chance to listen to candidates like Bill White, who is big on education,” she said. “If tuition or better education is a concern CANDIDATE continues on page 3

Chef Rick Bayless speaks during the second Maverick Speakers Series of the season Thursday in the Lone Star Auditorium. Bayless answered questions submitted by the audience like how he found inspiration in Mexico and the challenges he faced on the reality television show “Top Chef Masters.”

Celebrity chef Rick Bayless discussed his favorite country and its rich culture BY AMANDA GONZALEZ The Shorthorn staff

Rick Bayless, an awardwinning Mexican cuisine chef, explained food’s ability to be a catalyst to an amazing time to an audience of 400 on Thursday. He said the end result of a meal is not the food itself but what food does. “Food is not just something to nourish us, it’s something that takes us into community,” he said. “It punctuates special events in our lives — we eat certain things at certain times.” Bayless, host of “Mexico — One Plate at a Time” on PBS, gained a wider audi-

ence after becoming the season one winner of “Top Chef Masters” on Bravo. On the show, Bayless took the winning spot with authentic Mexican cuisine dishes, like the ones he cooks on his show, serves at his three restaurants and writes about in his cookbooks. A full crowd of faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members gathered in the Lone Star Auditorium to hear Bayless speak about his fourdecade exploration of Mexican inspired dishes and the culture behind those dishes.

ALUMNI

Gala honors exceptional Mavericks The Alumni Association recognized alumni for contributions to society. BY JOHN HARDEN The Shorthorn news editor

“We make things in a certain way when we cook them for one group and make them a different way when we cook them for another group,” he said. “My way of thinking about food is this sort of dialogue that

goes back and forth between the cook and the people that are eating it.” Ann Minnis, Graduate School of Social Work advisory board member, said SERIES continues on page 3

The influence of UTA students isn’t constrained to Arlington city limits. More than 430 people gathered at the 2010 Distinguished Alumni Gala on Saturday in the Bluebonnet Ballroom to honor this year’s distinguished alumni.

This year, UTA’s influence was recognized in the country of Jordan when alumnus Nasser Lozi received the university’s first Distinguished International Alumni Award. Lozi serves as Jordan’s royal court chief, which functions under direct supervision of the King Abdullah II. Lozi said it was a great honor to stand before a group of distinguished GALA continues on page 8

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Rangers look to go 2-1 on Yanks Cliff Lee said he’s prepared for the dangerous opposing line-up at Yankees Stadium. BY SAM MORTON The Shorthorn sports editor

After losing to the New York Yankees 6-5 in game one of the ALCS because of a flat-out meltdown on Friday night, everything seemed cursed for the Texas Rangers. The bullpen with a 3.38 ERA during the regular season couldn’t get anybody out in a devastating eighth inning that started with a Brett Gardner hustle play,

and five runs later ended with a lead the Rangers wouldn’t recover from. But just 20 hours later, fireworks shot out from Rangers Ballpark in Arlington after a 7-2 win, and the team found itself in the driver’s seat of what is now essentially a five-game series, with Cliff Lee pitching game one on the road. If that sounds familiar to you, you’re right. The last time Cliff Lee took the mound in a road playoff game, he bewildered all 33 Rays that he faced in a dominant ALDS-clinching game six days ago. He struck out 11 batters, didn’t walk a soul and delivered the Rangers their first playoff series win in franchise

history. On Monday night, he’ll give the Rangers the chance to take a 2-1 lead in Yankee Stadium, where he victimized them in game one of last season’s World Series with a complete-game, 10-strikeout shutout. There’s no big secret to Lee’s success. It’s simply about hitting his spots and keeping hitters off-balance. “From top to bottom, they have threats everywhere,” Lee told reporters. “I’m going to try to locate and keep the ball down and away, down and in, up and in, out of the strike zone here and RANGERS continues on page 7

American Campus Communities inc. will seek approval from the Arlington City Council Tuesday to build an apartment complex that would complement the university’s enrollment growth and the city’s downtown master plan. if approved by the council, the proposed development would house about 488 students and would be located about 250 yards from the Maverick Activities Center, said gina Cowart, American Campus Communities investor relations and marketing vice president. The council meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at City Hall. The site for the apartments would be about 3.9 acres of land bounded by UTA Boulevard, Kerby and Abram streets across from the Tin Cup restaurant. The space consists of undeveloped land, an aging office building and six older one-story residential structures, Cowart said. John Hall, administration and campus operations vice president, said the university’s master plan calls for the redevelopment of the campus edge and adjacent properties that include student housing. “This project will complement the downtown Arlington master plan because it will provide students with attractive living choices through encouragement of new market rate apartments,” he said.

Volunteers, community raise more than $90K

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness month and student volunteers helped raise awareness and money for Down syndrome research. Saturday the Down syndrome Partnership of Tarrant County and the Arlington Green Oaks School hosted The National Down Syndrome Society Buddy Walk, where 23 UTA volunteers and 2,000 participants walked a mile around the Maverick Activities Center. The exact causes for Down syndrome are unknown, nor are ways to prevent chromosomal arrangement, according to the partnership. Theresa Moffitt, 2010 Buddy Walk chairwoman, said the event raised more than $90,000 from the teams and individual registrations. She said the money would go to the Down Syndrome Partnership of Tarrant County and a portion to Green Oaks School. The donations would then be used to help support families and people with Down syndrome in the county. Jennifer Mearns, Down Syndrome Partnership of Tarrant County administrative assistant, said the buddy walk was started in Arlington by the Green Oaks School. She said they partnered with the school to help with the event because it grew too large for them to handle. Boston Dunivant is a 2-yearold girl with Down syndrome. Her mother Jessica Brown is a member of the partnership and wanted to help raise money for research. Brown said she initially only expected to raise $2,000. She said she was surprised by the response she received. “People I didn’t even know were taking Boston’s picture to work and asking for donations,” she said. Jean Jewel, Green Oaks School

Ashlee Woolridge, Mrs. Fort Worth International 2011, walked the mile-long course with her buddy, Lyndon LaPlante. Woolridge said walking the mile in heels was tough, but her buddy helped her along the way. “This walk was very special to me because of my buddy Lyndon. He let me hold on to his arm and led me around the mile,” she said. LaPlante, who has Down syndrome, is an assistant quarterback coach for Keller High School. He said he is also a motivational speaker and supporter for Down syndrome research.

Workshop educates to prevent mistreatment of LGBT community It’s not about sex, it’s about identity. Rita Cotterly, Texas Christian University kinesiology adjunct professor and sexologist, told social workers at the Gender, Sexuality and Ethics professional development workshop Friday to memorize that statement. Cotterly, along with Mary Fulbright, UTA’s School of Social Work retired professor, spoke with North Texas social workers on how to understand and effectively help the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community through the use of social work’s code of ethics. “None of us are exempt from this code because of the person we are working with or because of the setting in which we work,” Fulbright said. Fulbright said helping members of the LGBT community is specifically written into the code.

The social work code states workers are there to provide social service and social justice. Cotterly said she chose sexology because it’s a serious source of division in families and can result in violence. She cited the recent teenage suicides as examples of that division. She also said many transgender people face a harder time with simple things, like shopping and going to the bathroom. She said there is a lack of legal protection that they face, that if they use a women’s restroom, women scream and if they use a men’s restroom they face physical violence. Cotterly said social justice can be achieved by raising awareness in the community and providing safehouses for those who have no place to go. – Edna Horton

Food, culture go hand in hand at annual English series Food has more uses than just for sustenance. Food can symbolize something in literature and give scholars a glimpse into another culture. Everyone participates in eating, so it can work as a common thread in radically different areas of study, English assistant professor Amy Tigner said. Food was the topic of conversation in the English Department’s annual Hermanns Lectures. The series annually brings nationally and internationally-known scholars to campus. The topic for this year’s lectures was how food relates to literature and culture. The lecture series included eight speakers and worked in conjunction with the Maverick Speakers Series to include celebrity chef Rick Bayless. Some of the speakers included Catherine Field, a University of Maryland graduate, who talked about food being used as a symbol in Twilight and David Goldstein, a York University English assistant

food makes up a part of a society’s culture. “We’re nourished by food but it nourishes our soul as well and that’s important that we pass that on to the future generations in our families,” she said. Alumnus John Dallinger said food is what attracts people together. “When you get families together whether you want to or not, food is always involved somehow and when you meet people or go someplace it’s always food,” he said.

professor, who talked about the first woman to earn a living off of writing cookbooks. Another speaker at the series was Allison Carruth, University of Oregon English assistant professor, who interpreted three experiments regarding food culturing. One of these experiments was about creating meat without having to kill animals. The procedure, called in vitro, is performed in a controlled environment where the meat is basically grown in a test tube. She said some scientists argue it is a “victimless meat” because unlike factory-farmed meat, no animals have to endure the life time of poor living conditions before slaughter. “The project unsettles existing frameworks from animal rights to sustainable agriculture for creating a just ethical food system,” she said. – Allen Baldwin and Sarah Lutz

Bayless, who is a fourth generation chef in a family who has devoted themselves to food, said when he was a young boy he experienced a moment that transformed his life. “At 14, I decided I needed to go to Mexico and the only way I could go was to plan a family vacation,” he said. “I was convinced because I had fallen in love with the idea of Mexico in my eighth grade Spanish class. I was going to plan this whole thing, and somehow I did.” He said he wanted to be a part of all the life and vitality he saw in Mexico. “At first I was interested in Mexico from a cultural

perspective, only later on to realize that the cultural perspective I felt most comfortable with in Mexico was the culinary culture, and I delve 100 percent into it,” he said. Bayless, who lived in Mexico for many years, said every time he goes back to Mexico he finds something that excites him and he loves bringing his excitement back to the U.S. to share with people. “I want to encourage people to enrich their lives by going to Mexico and experiencing the real culture of Mexico,” he said. amaNDa GoNzalez news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Q & a from the sessioN Q: What is your favorite recipe? A: If you find a chef that will answer that question don’t eat his food because that’s like asking Picasso ‘oh what is your favorite color?’ Q: What’s your favorite ingredient? A: They are all necessary. I’m a creative person and I am on the hunt for something new all around and I am looking for some kind of inspiration, so favorite ingredient, favorite recipe, favorite dish indicates that I already found it but I’m not that kind of person I’m always exploring further.

to students, then it’s the students’ chance to go out, vote and make a change.” During White’s visit on Thursday, he said higher education tuition has increased 90 percent in the last six years, putting a financial burden on college students. “We need a multi-year plan to strengthen higher education, and I will appoint a board that will help attract private contribution so that students don’t have to pay all the cost,” he said. About 250 attendees gathered in the University Center Rosebud Theatre to listen to the candidate. Television network Telemundo and the League of United Latin American Citizens UTA chapter hosted and co-sponsored the event. Telemundo news anchor Norma Garcia interviewed White for about 45 minutes in English and Spanish and asked questions previously submitted by students. LULAC president Gustavo Delgado said the event showed a student interest to get more information on the issues affecting Texas. “It was good to have an event like this because everyone needed to hear what his stance is with some of the issues,” Delgado said. “We expect a high turn out during election day after events like these.” Education, same-sex marriage, job creation, immigration and border security were some other topics the gubernatorial candidate talked about on his visit. White said he is a full supporter of the DREAM Act when asked about how he would help undocumented student immigrants. “We will do anything we

Q: What are your thoughts on Tex-Mex? A: I love it, but I love it for reasons that are really nostalgic. I don’t know if I can say if I love it independently of my memories or if I love it because it is so incredibly comforting when I take a bite of it. Q: If you only eat one chef’s food for the rest of your life, whose food would you eat and why? A: If I had to eat one chefs food for the rest of my life and it wasn’t mine I would probably end my life very quickly. SOURCE: “An Evening with a Celebrity Chef”

can to make sure that people who are residing here have more opportunities to succeed,” White said. “Anyone who is residing here should have all the skills necessary and get an education, to make a living and be successful.” Colt Ables, College Republicans member and economics senior, said he walked into the event wanting to hear the democratic side of the statewide campaign. Colt was surprised about White’s statement on same-sex marriage but will still vote Republican come election day.

“When he was asked about gay marriage, I was very surprised he didn’t stand up for it.” Ables said. “He defended the Texas Constitution and said it was illegal instead of trying to change it.” White’s chief opponent for the November election is Gov.

Gifts of $25,000 or more are matched during a five-year period. The university’s total endowment now tops $68 million, including 51 new endowments for this year with a combined approximated value of $3.6 million. “A strong endowment undergirds the strong academic programs and provides longterm financial stability for universities,” Development Vice President Jim Lewis said in a press release. “These endowed gifts are building momentum and provide that margin of excellence.” UTA’s number of total donors increased to 6,500 this year — an increase of almost 30 percent.

donors as the reason for the university’s jump forward. “Private philanthropic support is increasingly critical to the future of public universities, and I would say that is doubly true for UT Arlington,” Spaniolo said. The UTA Development Board has also played an increasingly large role in raising funds for the university. Chaired by Ralph Hawkins, the board has recently grown to include 43 community and business leaders who act as advocates for UTA. “We act as a liaison between the business community and the university,” said Franklyn Alexander, a local dentist who serves on the board. “Having a good, strong university is good for Arlington.” House Bill 51 set the endowment mark for major research universities at $400 million. Although UTA still has work to do, Spaniolo said he believes the latest statistics show that the school is on the right track. “You have to make a com-

mitment and an investment to make it a priority and we have done that, particularly over the last three years,” Spaniolo said. “It’s been very important to me from the very beginning, but it has taken us a while to get on the right trajectory. I think we are on the right trajectory now.”

Navajo electioNs

Navajo closer than ever to electing woman leader come November Associated Press

WiNdoW roCK, Ariz. — lynda lovejoy walks past throngs of parade-goers in her traditional, crushed velvet dress and moccassins, her campaign button on the sleeve. Speaking through a microphone, she says she’ll bring fresh perspective to the Navajo government if elected president. Her supporters shout, “You go girl!” others at the parade in Window rock clearly don’t want to see her at the helm of the country’s largest American indian reservation. “i hope you lose,” one man shouts, then covers his mouth and ducks into the crowd. Another woman declares support for lovejoy’s opponent: “We want Ben Shelly. Women belong in the kitchen.” No woman has served as Navajo president, although the matriarchal society has strong reverence for women as caretakers and heirs to everything from home site leases to sheep. When introducing themselves, Navajos start with their mother’s clan name. With lovejoy garnering twice as many votes as any of the 10 men and a second woman in a recent primary, the Navajo Nation appears closer than ever to electing a woman as its leader. But that doesn’t mean lovejoy’s candidacy is widely accepted as she and Shelly approach the November 2 election. The New Mexico state senator has been called an outsider who lacks experience in tribal government. More to the point, she’s been told she’ll ruin a tradition in which all previous top leaders have been men and that her

presidency could portend an ominous future for the tribe. Some have even attributed damaging weather events to her quest for the leadership. Still others have hope she’ll bring attention to social justice issues and increase job opportunities for younger people on the reservation. Some ask why not a woman considering the tribe’s struggles with men as leaders. Men long have been the leaders of Navajo people and traditionally consulted with women in the communities as equals. Navajos see each person as having female and male aspects that create balance. Philmer Bluehouse, a traditional peacekeeper, said those who believe women can’t be president likely are looking to a Navajo tale of a female who was given a leadership post but became angry and controlling. But some fail to look beyond that story to one in which the deity White Shell Woman gives birth to the Twin Warriors, who rid the world of monsters such as greed, poverty and hate, Bluhouse said. According to Navajo lore, all Navajos can trace their ancestry back to her, and she’s considered to be the ideal woman. Both lovejoy and Shelly know the story but are quick to note they’re no experts in tradition. They are familiar, though, with “monsters” that come in the form of a more than 50 percent unemployment rate, the abuse of women and children, infighting in tribal government and neglected elderly. At stake in the race is oversight of the 27,000-squaremile reservation, its economy, future use of natural resources and the fight to maintain

Big brush, tire fire in New Caney area HOUSTON — Firefighters have responded to a brush and tire fire in the New Caney area — the largest of its kind in a decade — at 3:30 p.m. Saturday and contained the blaze that night. New Caney Assistant Fire Chief Josh Smith says there were thousands of tires because the property owners planned to start a go-cart track. The newspaper reports crews from six departments and the Texas Forest Service responded. Firefighters pulled water from the San Jacinto River because there were no hydrants in the area.

Furniture truck backs over 2 women CENTENNIAL, Colo. — A furniture delivery truck backed over two women in suburban Denver, killing a 62-year-old woman standing by a mailbox. A 70-year-old woman was injured in the Saturday afternoon accident in Centennial. A witness said he yelled for the truck driver to stop but the back tires rolled over the women, then the truck went forward and dragged them. Margie Hermansen was pronounced dead at Littleton Hospital. The other woman had minor injuries and wasn’t named. The truck driver hasn’t been arrested. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office says the accident is still under investigation.

Lynda Lovejoy waves to the crowd during the Navajo Nation Fair parade on Sept. 11, 2010 in Window Rock, Ariz. Lovejoy is seeking to become the tribe’s first female president.

Shirley Jr., who is term-limited. in the years up to and since that run, lovejoy has served in New Mexico state government as a senator, representative and member of a regulatory commission. lovejoy’s time in state government is what her opponent, Shelly, is relying on to give him an edge. He says she doesn’t understand what Navajos truly need — someone who has spent more time in politics on the reservation than off — and she’s lost the momentum she once had. That she’s a female makes no difference to him. “i’m not even thinking about that,” he said. “She’s my opposition. She’s in my way of my goal, my presidency. i’ve gotta beat her.”

non-Navajo, she said. She’s also disputed allegations that she’s a drunk, a pervasive social ill on the reservation. She dismisses “mischievous” comments about her inclusion in the race, saying no respectable person grounded in Navajo tradition would air them in public. “Yes there are people out there who are struggling with that,” she says. “But for the most part they are beginning to accept the fact that there’s equal opportunities for women in leadership positions. even in the presidential position.” Four years ago, lovejoy became the first woman ever to make it through the primary election but ultimately lost to current President Joe

tribal sovereignty. Former Navajo president Peterson Zah said even with a win, lovejoy’s success would depend on whether she has the support of other women in the Tribal Council, who are outnumbered. The council is acknowledged as more powerful than the presidency. The excitement over having a woman in the race has faded, and Zah says, “now it’s the whole question of ‘Can lynda lovejoy govern if she’s in that position ... how will she deal with these bigger Navajo Nation-wide issues?’” Some question lovejoy’s ties to tradition when she shows up in a business suit instead of traditional clothing, when they find out she is Catholic or married to a

Suspected political violence kills 25 KARACHI, Pakistan — Gunmen have killed at least 25 people in Karachi in the past 24 hours, raising tensions in Pakistan’s largest city as voters cast ballots Sunday to replace a provincial lawmaker murdered in August. Police said they were still investigating the motives behind the shootings, but many so-called “target killings” in Karachi have been linked to gangs controlled by the city’s main political parties, which have been feuding for much of the last 20 years.

Bush’s memoir to have print run of 1.5M copies Associated Press

NeW YorK — Former President George W. Bush’s memoir will arrive next month with a huge first printing and an e-book with multimedia extras, Crown Publishers said in a statement Thursday. Decision Points will have a print run of 1.5 million copies, the same number given six years ago for Bill Clinton’s “My life,” which went on

to sell more than 2 million copies, far greater than for most presidential memoirs. Crown, an imprint of random House inc., also announced that an enhanced e-book edition will be available, featuring video highlights of Bush’s presidency, photographs not included in the hardcover book and personal correspondence. “decision Points,” which comes

in next month’s elections. A month before publication, “decision Points” is already in the top five on Barnes & Noble’s website and the top 200 on Amazon.com. “We believe there is a broad and large readership nationwide waiting to read President Bush’s book and that this readership will be fully engaged by what he has written,” said Crown publisher Tina Constable.

out Nov. 9, a week after election day, will not be a conventional narrative, but a reflection of important decisions and moments in Bush’s life, including the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the war in iraq. Bush left office two years ago with low approval ratings and skepticism among publishers about the appeal of a memoir by him, but republicans are looking to make substantial gains

Suicides are off limits High profile deaths caused by bullying, shouldn’t be used to push agendas or sell products

here was a guy a couple of years younger than me, a classmate of my sister’s, who cracked everyone up at our high school. I graduated two years before he did, moved away and entered the service. We wrote now and then, and he signed his letters, “Your brother. Peace and Love Forever.” He was an only child, so my sister, brothers and I were his “adopted” siblings. I got too busy and stopped writing but one day saw his picture in the yearbook, the one from the talent show when he did his impressions, and decided he was overdue for a letter. The letter I got back from his address was in his mother’s handwriting. He had killed himself. It was 1978. The day I learned about his death, a new friend drove me into town from our Air Force base to have some coffee and waffles at our favorite joint. The driver’s mother had also committed suicide some years before, after finding out she had breast cancer and couldn’t face her fears of disfigurement. He stayed quiet, as a good friend will, and I opened up to him about my thoughts and feelings. I was angry. I was frustrated and mad

about my friend leaving me alone in the very same world he had faced, but without his humor and love to make it that much less grim. He took the shortcut and left me hanging on in a place that was grayer without him. My Air Force friend’s mom did the same to him. But, of course, many will say our worlds were not the same. We guessed he was gay but were never sure, and perhaps he met resistance after school. Still, as a means of torment, even heterosexuals are called homosexual names. So are science fiction fans, blacks, Jews and environmentalists. Suicide is not new. Homosexuality is not the only, or even the worst, cause of the stress that sends some to pull the plug on their lives. Suicide at any age and for any reason is awful, but there is something worse — using a string of tragedies to push a barely related agenda. High school and college shootings prompt gun advocates and opponents to use the terrible events to promote their books, their organizations, legislation and websites. The outcry over young people committing suicide after being teased for being

The publicity and activism around these horrible events are proof that anything is fair game to get hits on the Internet, even if it is only a story as old as society polished up to look new. To make a real difference, don’t sign a petition or fan a Facebook page. Tell your so-called friends that are taunting someone else to shut up and grow up. If your children are being mean to other children over meaningless differences, “be mean” to them in a meaningful way so they will learn something about hurt feelings and consequences. Stop coddling them for fear of losing the “love” they may not even be capable of and show them some love by teaching them what it’s like to feel pain. I leave it up to you whether it calls for spanking, taking away privileges, or just telling them honestly, maybe for the first time in your relationship, that they have disappointed you and brought you shame.

Don’t let the lines discourage you Einstein Bros. Bagels offers convenient food for Fine Arts Building frequenters

ver had a Bagel Dog? Then Einstein Bros. Bagels is the place for you. Despite the long lines, it is worth the wait. Einstein’s serves bagels, sandwiches, pizzas as well as a mixture of drinks to satisfy your thirst like Starbucks coffee does. It is a great place to get food when you have a break from class. I had just transferred to UTA from Blinn College in Bryan, Texas, where I spent the first two years of college. After getting out of my communication theory class, I knew I had an hour and fifteen minutes before my next class. Instead of choosing to walk over to the University Center or go home for some food, I made the choice to stay on campus and eat. Since I was pretty new to the campus and did not really know my way around too well, I decided I would give Einstein’s a shot. The line was packed and it looked to be a popular place to eat. As it turns out I got in line and I waited and waited and waited for about an hour until I fi-

Since 1919

nally got to order. There was one worker the entire time I was there. By the time I was through the line, I only had 15 minutes to eat and walk all the way across campus to my political science class. What they lacked in customer service, they made up with their excellent egg and cheese bagel. The lines at Einstein’s are clearly not as long as the long lines at the Central Plaza on campus which sometimes causes students to wait in more than one line. In my opinion, there are ways to fix these problems. Number one would be to expand on the hours of operation. Einstein’s closes at 3 p.m. everyday, this makes it hard for Fine Arts graduate students, undergraduates, faculty and staff to get food on campus without having to walk all the way across campus to get something. Einstein is one of the busiest food joints on campus and it would be beneficial not only to students and faculty but also to their business if they expanded their hours until around 7 p.m.

For students who don’t know, the UC has a great selection of places to eat on campus. You can get Chick-fil-A, Panda Express and Pizza Hut, which are all relatively cheap. The prices at Einstein’s were low as well. In fact, they have great prices for a college student’s budget. Einstein Bros. Bagels is the best place to eat on campus and it can only get better. It would be beneficial not only to students and faculty but also to their business if they expanded their hours until around 7 p.m. Having at least four employees working at once will help the line move faster and smoother without stacking 15 people in line. Two employees could take orders and two could get the food. This will probably cut about 30 minutes off the wait time.

In about two weeks Texas must choose who we want to represent us on a state and national level. That’s easier said than done, right? It doesn’t seem that way these days. It is to be expected that most people would vote for members of their own party, but it is important to know the issues and how individuals stand on those issues. Not just to vote along party lines. We are in a nation sharply divided by partisan bickering. The constant mudslinging and muckraking makes it difficult to be aware of the facts. Here is a sad truth: Neither side is completely right, neither side tells the truth all the time. According to www.politifact.com, in the Texas gubernatorial race, both major candidates have said false things. But very few things lacked any elements of truth. Several times the statements are misleading. For example, Gov. Rick Perry said Texas has more kids that take the SAT than any other state. He neglected to mention that 51 percent fail. On the other side is former Houston mayor Bill White, who claimed Houston led the nation in job growth while he was mayor. He did oversee a large increase in jobs, but he didn’t lead the nation. This may be politics as usual, but we can make the difference by knowing that everything said is not completely true and cutting through the spin by focusing on the truth. As students, several issues will affect our immediate future and those are the things we need to focus on. Education affects our learning, which affects the rest of our lives. This year, a gubernatorial mandate caused a rush to decrease the university budget. To do so, the university has offered a staff buyout and cut other small expenses, like instructors’ telephones. Economy and the job market also affect us. As we prepare to graduate we start looking for a job. But when unemployment is high, it is much more difficult to find those jobs. Those are just the tip of the iceberg of issues, there are also issues like border security and gas drilling. Public service positions are just that. Servicing the public by meeting its needs. It’s our job to make sure our representatives will do that. Know the issues, know the truth and vote accordingly. Not just by party line.

Powers Bilodeau commented at TheShorthorn.com on the story “Maverick Football Club rushes to keep season alive” Here’s an idea for a fundraiser: ask the students of UTA to contribute $10 each to keep the Football Club alive. This not only helps the [Maverick Football Club] complete their goal, but forces the students of this campus who say they want football to “put up or shut up.” If the club can’t get 940 students of 32,000 (just 2.8 percent) to contribute what would conceivably be the cost of just two game tickets, then perhaps football really has no place on this campus.

Attack errors and poor decisions left the Mavericks feeling blue on Dig Pink Night as they fell to Stephen F. Austin for the tenth consecutive time: 22-25, 25-21, 20-25, 19-25. The Mavericks (9-12, 3-4) had 27 attack errors and eight service errors in front of a season-high attendance of 892 on Thursday at Texas Hall. With the home crowd and the players decked out in pink, the Mavericks managed to win their first set against the Lumberjacks since 2004 when they took the second set, but SFA’s dominance over the Mavericks still looms large. “We did not pass the ball well and accumulated too many errors, and they out blocked us,” head coach Diane Seymour said. Lumberjacks (10-12, 3-4) junior blocker Mary Caitlin Bottles and senior hitter Arielle Daron led the attack with 13 kills apiece, and freshman setter Allison Gideon got her seventh double-double of the season with 42 assists and 10 digs. The Maverick attack was led by communication studies junior hitter Amanda Aguilera’s 12 kills and kinesiology junior hitter Tara Frantz’s 11, but it wasn’t nearly enough to stop SFA. “Our service was off in the first set with the three missed serves,” Frantz said. Despite out-killing the Lumberjacks 16-12 in the first set, three service errors allowed the Lumberjacks to come back from an 18-15 deficit to win by three. One of the few Maverick highlights of the night came in the second set, when they finally ended a 27 set losing streak to win 25-21. The Mavericks only had five errors in the second instead of the seven in the first. SFA bounced right back, however, hitting at a .333 clip in the third set. Aguilera had seven attack errors in the set, and SFA only had two. “We had errors at bad times, and we had some stupid mistakes on offense,” Aguilera said. The Mavericks threatened to send it into a fifth set with a 14-11 lead, but lost it when SFA went on a 14-5 run to end it. The Mavericks came into the match with the most blocks in the conference, but were out-blocked in the match 9-4. Broadcasting senior outside hitter Bianca Sauls had nine kills and nine digs with a .381 attack percentage.

Three Mavericks set career highs on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to overcome their own mistakes in a 3-2 loss to Sam Houston State on Saturday in Texas Hall. The Bearkats (10-13, 4-4) built a 13-4 lead in the fifth set before junior hitter Amanda Aguilera served seven straight points to make it 13-11 before errors, the Mavericks’ Achilles heel, came back to bite them in the end. “I think they just played with more emotion than us the entire night,” UTA head coach Diane Seymour said. “I don’t think it was something that they did. I think they just decided they wanted to win a little bit more than we did and turned it on.” Aguilera had 28 kills, freshman defensive specialist Kendall Whitson had 16 digs, and junior libero Alicia Shaffer finished with 33 digs — all career highs — but the Bearkats made plays when they needed to, earning them the wins: 2025, 25-18, 25-20, 19-25, 15-11. “It feels good to set a career high, but I would have rather had 31 digs and a win rather than my career high,” Shaffer said. Bearkats junior outside hitter Carli Kolbe led with 15 kills, and sophomore outside hitter Kaylee Hawkins had 33 digs of her own. Despite a low .161 attack percentage and 28 errors, they still left Arlington with a victory. The Mavericks (9-13, 3-5) came out firing in the first set, building a comfortable lead at 20-10 before the Bearkats made it interesting at 23-19. Despite committing nine errors, the Mavericks hung on to win the set. “We wanted to come out and win that first set, we kind of do not like Sam Houston State since we have a rivalry with them,” Aguilera said. After the Bearkats almost stole the first set from the Mavericks, they eliminated their errors in the second set which helped them win the match. The Bearkats went from 13 attack errors to just one in the second set. The Mavericks were out hit in the set .517 to .333. The Mavericks forced a fifth set by building a comfortable lead and hanging on while the Bearkats surged back. The Bearkats rode that momentum into the deciding fifth set. The Mavericks hit the road for their next four matches, starting with a trip to Texas State at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday in San Marcos, Texas.

LaMarcus Reed has beaten his younger brother in everything with a basketball. But on Friday night, his brother extracted a small dose of revenge. The finance junior forward fell to his brother LaCordney Reed in the final round of the slam-dunk competition at Maverick Madness Friday night in the Maverick Activities Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beat me in something,â&#x20AC;? LaMarcus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be telling me about this until weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old.â&#x20AC;? LaCordney doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend UTA. He is a freshman at Southwestern University, but he wanted to come out and try to beat his brother. While LaMarcus said he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the end of the defeat, LaCordney was more modest about the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always beats me at everything, so I finally got him at something,â&#x20AC;? LaCordney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to make a big deal about it. This is just one win out of a ton of things.â&#x20AC;? The night seemed to be a night of firsts.

basketball teams were introduced for the first time to fans, with plenty of new faces on each team. Both the men and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team features six freshmen. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach Scott Cross was excited about fan support to cheer on the new teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ton of students here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is as many students as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen at one of these.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the slamdunk contest, there was a three-point shootout that featured communications sophomore guard Armani Williams. Many fans were forced to stand and watch the spirit groupsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performances because of limited seating in the MAC. But that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take from the festive environment, thanks to the Athletic Department handing out free shirts and food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our marketing people have done a really great job,â&#x20AC;? Cross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great atmosphere here. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have some really great crowds this year.â&#x20AC;?
