Working with the professionals Students will have the opportunity to broadcast from the Super Bowl for UTA Radio. BY: STEPHANIE KNEFEL The Shorthorn staff

Student radio personalities will get the chance of a lifetime come Super Bowl week. The Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau has invited the student-run

station to broadcast from the bureau’s satellite center during Super Bowl week, along with other mainstream media outlets. Students will broadcast from Jan. 31 to Feb. 4. They will broadcast at The 50-yard Line, a media hub where press can set up interviews and photo opportunities, alongside professional media. Broadcast senior Chris Mead is hoping to gain experience from working with the professional media.

“It is really exciting for me,” he said. “It’s a big deal because sports are my passion, that is what I want to do with my career. For me to get a chance broadcasting the Super Bowl here in Arlington and working along the professionals is an incredible opportunity. The eyes of the nation will be on Arlington.” The station will broadcast its sports RADIO continues on page 3

The Life Science Building was built in 1970, yet houses research projects actively studied today. “The type of research in biology and psychology is very different that in 1970,” Science dean Pamela Jansma said. “Researchers are doing state-of-the-art work and that building isn’t as modern as it RENOVATIONS could be.” Sen.

The bill will be considered during the current legislative session. If passed, the construction is targeted to start in June 2012 and conclude in August 2014. The bill calls for renovations to the 40-year-old building, but faculty conducting research say the building also needs more space. Psychology assistant professor Jared Kenworthy, who has a lab in the building, said, though renovations are needed to update the space, his main concern is the lack of space the building offers.

RESEARCH

Building switch doesn’t slow research Graduate students continue research despite Engineering Research Building move in. BY JOHN HARDEN The Shorthorn senior staff

As graduate students transition into the Engineering Research Building, they haven’t allowed the move to slow their research progress. Maintaining focus and conducting research projects will be the priority as they move in to new lab spaces. “The building is great, but it’s not about the building. It’s about the resources it provides and how we will use them,” said Kanishka Tyagi, electrical engineering graduate student. “We need to continue focusing on research projects that are applicable

to day-to-day use.” With more lab space and resources available, graduate students can feel more at home while helping UTA reach its research goals, said Ronak Patel, a biomedical engineering graduate student. “We’re able to work closely with other departments and that helps with collaboration that probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise,” he said. Patel said collaboration speeds up the research process by allowing for quicker interaction. According to Institutional Construction director Bryan Sims, Tyagi and Patel are two of the 333 graduate students who are moving into the building to help with research and teaching. The university was thoughtful

about including space for graduate students, said Science Dean Pamela Jansma. “It shows that we want them to succeed by providing them with resources and space that allows them to continue their work,“ she said. In Fall 2010, the university had about 7,000 graduate students, with 1,589 in the College of Engineering, according to a 2010 enrollment analysis. Graduate students conduct and help with most university research projects, said Provost Donald Bobbitt. “Graduate students teach the majority of our first and second year students,” he said. “When it comes to the quality of education we provide, GRADS continues on page 5

A wounded blast victim is brought by a rescuer to a hospital Monday from Domodedovo airport in Moscow. A suicide bomber set off an explosion that ripped through Moscow’s busiest airport. The attack killed dozens of people and wounded more than a hundred.

MOSCOW — Terrorists struck again in the heart of Russia, with a suicide bomber blowing himself up Monday in Moscow’s busiest airport and turning its international arrivals terminal into a smoky, blood-spattered hall of dismembered bodies, screaming survivors and abandoned suitcases. At least 35 people were killed, including two British travelers. No one claimed responsibility for the blast at Domodedovo Airport that also wounded 180 people, although Islamic militants in the southern Russian region of Chechnya have been blamed for previous attacks in Moscow, including a double suicide bombing on the capital’s subway system in March 2010 that resulted in 40 deaths.

AUSTIN, Texas — Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst unveiled the Texas Senate’s draft budget proposal on Monday, which called for 10.1 percent reduction in general revenue spending. The bill largely mirrors what was introduced by the state House last week. The bill calls for $73.8 billion in expenditures, $27 billion less than what experts say is needed to maintain current state services. The proposal does not increase state taxes, or tap into the state’s $9.4 billion Rainy Day Fund.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Gunmen spraying automatic weapons fire killed seven people at a park that had been built as an anti-violence measure in the besieged Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, authorities said Monday. The assailants arrived during a soccer game the park in the Francisco I. Madero neighborhood and opened fire Sunday afternoon, said Carlos Gonzalez, a spokesman for the Chihuahua state prosecutors’ office. The park was inaugurated four months ago as part of the “Todos Somos Juarez” program. Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, is Mexico’s most violent city, with more than 3,000 killed last year as the Sinaloa and Juarez drug cartels for control of lucrative trafficking routes into the United States.

Today at 5 p.m. the Arlington Socialists will participate in a national day of action opposing FBI raids at the Arlington Police Department on Division and Cooper streets. The protest is against a set of raids conducted September 24, 2010. Several anti-war organizations were raided based on a government redefinition of ‘material support for terrorism,’ Arlington Socialists member Jason Netek said. He said the new definition made it possible for individuals to be subpoenaed by a Federal Grand Jury for saying things similar to a terrorist organization. Netek said the protest is about what constitutes terrorist support and being able to voice an opinion on issues. Today the Federal Grand Jury will begin hearings for the September raids, Netek said. –Ali Amir Mustansir

Even with the season premiere of MTV’s “Skins,” which is demanding our attention and killing our brain cells, very few people missed the report from the Minnesota Planetarium Society that the astrological calender has been off for 1,000 years. In an interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, a leading zodiac expert said the Earth has been tilting on its axis for about 1,000 years, slowly throwing off the alignment. This week, Scene editor, Lee Escobedo, and Scene writer Tesia Kwarteng dish on the frenzy over what it means for everyone who implements the calender in their daily lives.

Hold on to your helmets, UTA and Arlington, the Maverick Bike Program will kick off Jan. 31. The Sustainability Office, Bike Friendly Arlington and Arlington Info Shop will educate the community on biking as a healthy lifestyle and mode of transportation. “The Mavericks Bike Program is founded on the idea that bicycling can be a safe, healthy, sustainable and a fun way to get around the campus,” said Sustainability director Meghna Tare. “University’s Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Office are launching this program to promote sustainable practices on campus. UTA is committed to reducing our environmental impact and to increasing awareness.” Tare said the program is finally taking shape after 6 months. The office is funding the Maverick Bike Program. Sustainability Office intern Bhavana Kidambi said biking is a helpful transportation alternative, especially for international students who can’t easily access cars. “This will give them more ways to travel,” Kidambi said. “They can bike on campus and to places near campus.” Organizations are working together on the project, including the Info Shop. “We’re trying to get actual bike lanes, slow pedes-

trian signs and crosswalks, both on, and near, campus,” said Eleonor Hernandez, founder of the Arlington Info Shop, a non-profit bike repair and loan shop located off-campus. “We’re using these [bikes] as daily transportation because we’re students.” With the future of the proposed Arlington Hike and Bike Master Plan uncertain, which would add bike lanes in and around campus, Hernandez said that the Maverick Bike Program is a great way to increase biking on campus. “[Support for the bike lanes] started from a bike ride to City Hall last year,” said Zac Ford, Bike Friendly Arlington creator, said. “We wanted to start putting a cycling presence in the city of Arlington.” Ford said the program will help the city become more bike friendly. Approximately 10 Bike Friendly Arlington members attend UTA. Broadcast senior Viktor Villanueva is an avid biker and member of Bike Friendly Arlington. He has participated in bike rides to city hall, donated a bike to Info Shop, and taught people about bike maintenance. Villanueva is volunteering at the kickoff. “I’ve been biking since I was eight years old. It’s a personal freedom,” said Villanueva. The Maverick Bike Program will raffle 25 bikes at the kickoff. Winners will receive a helmet, lights, a lock and bike-safety class with their new bike. The kickoff will have music, a bike ride, bike games and free food. “There’s going to be a lot of fun things to do at the kickoff, as well as valuable information about biking,” said Kidambi. The Sustainability Office wants participation from the c o m m u n i t y. The goal is to get students involved and expand the program. The Arlington

The shop provides bicycle education for the community from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Saturday. “We want to get as many people knowledgeable about their own bikes, comfortable riding, and able to fix them on their own,” said Hernandez.

Escobedo: So, it was reported by an astrologist in Minnesota that the Zodiac calendar was off by a month. Kwarteng: It’s crazy! Has your sign changed? Escobedo: Well, if I planned my life around the stars I would have went from a Leo to a Cancer, which is ironically unfortunate for me, being a casual smoker. Well, I only smoke at the bar. Kwarteng: You’re always at the bar. Mine didn’t change, I’m still a Sagittarius, which means I’m still amazing. Escobedo: Everyone whose signs didn’t change will still have people who were trying to hook up based on the Zodiac, plus the new signs who are looking for mates. Double the fun. Kwarteng: Sounds enticing, but what happened to getting to know someone for who they are? Escobedo: Nowadays people just check their iPhone astrology app to pre-screen potential jump-offs. Kwarteng: That’s ridiculous but unfortunately true. Escobedo: I think it’s hilarious that people have, and will continue to get married based on compatible signs. That really shows the arbitrary and pointless nature of signs. Sorry, that was a bad postsurrealist pun. Kwarteng: The situation and your joke are both bad.

CD REVIEW

No mono concerns with ‘Kiss Each Other’ Clean’ Iron & Wine fuses jazz and electronic into a new, beautiful sound BY ALLEN BALDWIN The Shorthorn staff

Of all the genres to resist electronic influence, folk would surely be one of the most stubborn. With Iron & Wine’s Kiss Each Other Clean, it’s obvious not even folk is immune to electronic’s allure. If this album is any indication, artists who subscribe to the genre should open up to the idea. Iron & Wine releases its fourth studio album, Kiss Each Other Clean, today.

Iron & Wine comprises guitarist/vocalist Samuel Beam accompanied by studio musicians. Kiss Each Other Clean is a departure from its predecessor, The Shepard’s Dog , with more eclectic instrumentation — an odd choice given the genre’s preference for traditional instruments. While The Shepard’s Dog primarily featured acoustic guitar and pianos, Kiss Each Other Clean utilizes saxophones, flutes, xylophones

and more. On songs like “Half Moon” and “Glad Man Singing,” Beam sticks to his usual, subdued, folksy acoustic music, but Beam experiments with genres and instruments on Kiss Each Other Clean. A couple of problems hold the record back. “Rabbit Will Run” features a couple of annoying slidewhistle sections. Album closer “Your Fake Name is Good Enough for Me” should have been separat-

ed at the three minute mark into two songs. Kiss Each Other Clean might not be a good record for people seeking Beam’s usual, folksy music, but Beam pulls together all of his influences and instruments — including electronics — to put together a cohesive and satisfying album.

College Park Green to open to public in March BY JOEL COOLEY The Shorthorn staff

After facing various construction and technical delays, The College Park Green is set to open in March. Recently, 12 light poles and some sustainable benches made from crushed concrete were placed in the green. Plants native to Texas will be planted closer to early Spring. One of the primary delays has been installing the weather station, which features an electrical system and an irrigation system that will control the sprinklers for the park. “Everything in the park is sustainable. The electrical system and the irrigation system are both very simple and can be controlled from any computer on campus,� said Jeff Johnson, Director of Maintenance and Special Projects. The green is part of a pilot program that includes over 100 other similar projects in a nationwide sustainable effort. This project is a joint effort between the city of Arling-

ton and UTA as a part of the new College Park Center set to open in late 2011. “Basically, we’re done with the project,� said Daniel Burnham, Civil Engineer for the City of Arlington. The design of the green is completely opposite to that of other landscape projects. The goal of the green is to collect water drainage off of surrounding buildings and limit water flow into Johnson Creek. “What we wanted to do is create a habitat within campus that is unique to north/ central Texas,� said Janna Tidwell, landscape architect at Schrickel, Rollins and Associates. “Instead of sending concrete to the landfill, we got

THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH

One School. Six Campuses. Endless Opportunities.

The Shorthorn: Allyson Kaler

Lab equipment, countertops and chairs would be redesigned under the provisions of a bill introduced in the Texas Legislature. University officials assessed that the Life Science Building’s roof would be replaced.

Bill continued from page 1

“The research faculty is running out of space,” he said. “Though renovations would attract more research faculty and grad students, more space would be better than new space.” According to the proposal submitted to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, renovations would include roof replacements, electrical system updates, installation of a fire sprinkler system, the redesign of classrooms and labs, exterior repointing and waterproofing, window replacements, study area updates and asbestos removal. At the start of the process, leaders in Facilities Management and Campus Operations first assessed what revisions needed to be made and wrote a proposal to be viewed by the university Administration, said Bill Poole, Facilities Management and Campus Operations assistant vice president. The university then sent the proposal to the Texas Higher Edu-

cation Coordinating Board. Provost Donald Bobbitt said the reason the proposal asked for renovations instead of a brand new building had to do with the cost and the building’s condition. “Life Sciences is in good shape, but needs to be updated, particularly in the laboratories. We estimate that the cost to build a new building of the same square footage could be as much as twice the cost to renovate,” he said. Bobbitt said though there are currently no plans to make extensions to the building, there could be in the future. He said because plans are in their early stages and the budget isn’t absolutely known, a precise determination of plans cannot be made. Susan Brown, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board planning and accountability assistant commissioner, said her department reviews the documents and determines who meets standards based off how the university is currently using the space, what the value would be to the state legislature and what difference the money could

Jansma said receiving the $74.8 million would bring more to the research table. “We’re already doing great for what we have but if we got this money we could accomplish more research achievements and get that [much] closer to Tier One,” Jansma said.
