Classroom to get futuristic remodel University Hall Room 108 to reflect future of education at UTA, provost says. BY J.C. DERRICK The Shorthorn senior staff
UTA is about to take a step into the future. This summer, one or two class-
rooms will be remodeled to reflect the future of education at UTA, Provost Donald Bobbitt said. “I can see the day, and it’s going to be very soon, when there will be no computer classrooms on campus,” Bobbitt said. At the end of the spring semester, an $800,000 renovation will begin in University Hall Room 108, giving
the multi-discipline classroom a total overhaul. The project will include new lighting, ceiling tiles, carpet, seating and audio-visual equipment, but Bobbitt said this is not a simple classroom improvement. He said the project is aimed to facilitate 21st-century learning. “Students now have smartphones

‘The mother of all matches’ BY BIANCA MONTES AND VALLARI GUPTE
CRICKET FACTS The Facts • There are two teams • 11 players in each team • Two batsmen from the same team are positioned at opposite ends of the cricket pitch. A bowler from the opposing team throws a cricket ball across the pitch to a batsman who hits the ball as far as possible. • The team scores when a batsman successfully scores a run. If a fielder catches the ball before the batsmen change position, the batsman out of position is declared out.

Silence fell over the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali, India, during the final moments of the 2011 Cricket World Cup semi-finals. India and Pakistan faced-off in what students called, “the mother of all matches.” The silence also spread over UTA by the time the sun rose Wednesday morning. More than 300 students gathered in Maverick Activities Center Room 133 to watch a live stream of the World Cup, said Jaser Akuly, business senior and Pakistan Student Association organizer. A few friendly rivalries began when he and the Indian Student Association president painted their country’s flags on their

Business sophomore Anushree Sharma said she had never watched a cricket game before, but this one was special. “Pakistan has never lost a match in Mohali and India has never lost a semifinal,” she said.

The deadline to drop a class is Friday and students are weighing their options. Students are meeting with advisers to discuss dropping classes ahead of the deadline. According to the University College website, dropping a course will not affect students’ GPA, and a grade of ‘W’ will be given for the class. Texas Senate Bill 1231, effective Fall 2007, puts a limit on dropped classes for undergraduate students, only allowing six in the entire academic career. Undeclared freshman Blake Bankford said he’s dropping a course to keep his GPA up, and thinks students should consult their

The resolutions ask the Texas Legislature to keep state revenue for Arlington Independent School District and the university stable. Mayor Robert Cluck said House Bill 1 could reduce university funding by about $37 million, and AISD funding by $18 to $45 million, in the 2012-2013 biennium.

Selected ROTC cadets fly to Fort Hood in helicopter Selected UTA Army Reserve Officer Training Corps. members will be transported Thursday morning via Chinook helicopter to receive training at Fort Hood. Cadets are required every year to travel to Fort Hood for a field training exercise, said Tuan Nguyen, training officer in charge for ROTC. The exercises conducted at Fort Hood will consist of weapon simulations, aviation training and a field-leader reaction course. The cadets transported via helicopter are junior and senior ROTC members. The remaining 88 freshmen and sophomore cadets will be transported to Fort Hood via bus, Nguyen said. The helicopter will land at 9 a.m. at Fielder Park, and the cadets will be briefed about helicopter safety before they board the helicopter. At the latest, the pilots wish to depart by 11 a.m. The cadets will leave Fort Hood at 8:30 a.m. Sunday to return to Arlington.
Panel discusses Ugandan childrens’ plight COMMUNICATIONS
Freshmen Leaders on Campus hosted the discussion Wednesday night.
Art students to design and sell posters for Japan
BY VIDWAN RAGHAVAN The Shorthorn staff
Former Ugandan orphan, Betty Nakato, is bothered by students who do not value their education. “Knowing that there are some people who would give anything for an education, and I see people here who are in class with their headphones on, and I cannot make peace with that,” the Richland Community College student said. Nakato was one of three panelists who spoke at Empower the Children of Uganda, an event to inform the community on the issues faced by Ugandan children. About 120 attendees came to Nedderman Hall for the event hosted by the Freshmen Leaders on Campus. A Journal for Jordan, this year’s OneBook, a book selected each year to be read by freshman English students, inspired the discussion. Panelists were Nakato, Mark Bertrand, founder of The Giving Circle Inc., which is a nonprofit organization that works with the Koi Koi House orphanage in Uganda, and Libby Kingman of Empower African Children, a nonprofit organization that works to educate orphans and other children. Nakato said she was orphaned when she was six or seven years old. “In the orphanage, we never let our background stories get us down, but be stepping stones,” she said. She came to the U.S. after graduating from a Ugandan high school in 2008. Bertrand said he founded The Giving Circle after Hurricane Katrina, and then branched out to Uganda. “Since I was a child, I’d always

dreamed of working in Africa,” he said. “I consider Uganda my second home.” He said the people he worked with are hardworking but in need. “When we go there, they don’t ask us for food, they don’t ask us for clothes, they ask us for a school,” Bertrand said. “Their parents crave that their children go to school.” He said the village he works with in Jinja, Uganda, has never had a school. The nearest school is too far for young children to walk. Audience members asked questions relating to the differences between Uganda and the U.S. and how they could help with the effort. Nakato said the children in Uganda are not much different from those in the U.S. “We are all human beings first, before we’re Ugandan or American,” she said. Bertrand said Ugandan children are different in that they’re happy with what they have. “They have nothing and they’re the most life-loving children,” he said.

Undeclared freshman Monica Salas said she found the discussion inspirational. “It’s amazing how much you learn from it about the different situations across the world,” the FLOC member said. She said FLOC was organizing an exhibition in The Gallery in the University Center from April 4 to 15 about the children of Uganda. Nursing junior Emma Whinnery said the discussion was very informational. “It was eye-opening about what’s going on,” she said. When asked by an audience member what they could do to help, Bertrand asked the audience to remember the children in Uganda by either volunteering to help or donating money. Those interested can go to The Giving Circle website at http://www.thegivingcircle.org/ uganda.html. “Don’t forget about them,” he said. “Don’t think there’s nothing you can do.”

Students from the Art and Art History Department will sell posters to help raise money for Japan. Visual communications junior Bryan Cleghorn said students from the Visual Communications Department and the UTA chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts will meet at 5 p.m. Thursday to discuss guidelines for a project called Posters for Japan. Cleghorn said each poster will be designed by a visual communications student and will cover the events resulting from the Japan tsunami’s aftermath. He said the deadline for posters is April 8. The next week, they will sell the posters on campus for $10 each. At the end of the week, the money will be donated to the Red Cross. He said even if students don’t want to pay for the posters, they can still donate whatever they can. He said he hopes they raise a lot of money, but there is no proposed goal. “If you have seen any of the footage and seen what people there have gone through, it’s heartbreaking,” he said. ”I just want to do whatever I can to help the people in Japan.”

before you drop • Talk to your professor – See if you can do any extra credit assignments or make-up tests. • Check with Financial Aid – Make sure you won’t lose money if you drop. • Visit with your adviser – Check on your academic progress and make sure dropping a class won’t delay graduation if you have a specific plan. • Look ahead – Look into your academic plan and see what classes you can take to replace the credit. • Do the paperwork – Pick up drop forms from your adviser and get any signatures required.

The Waxahachie Daily Light reports that Wedgeworth Elementary students were taken to Harvest Baptist Church nearby after officials received the threat around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. Students were moved before dogs helped police and fire officials searched the building. Waxahachie school district spokeswoman Nicole Mansell says no substance was found to the threat and the students returned to their classrooms at 1:30 p.m.

Nigel Barretto, industrial engineering graduate student, said the two teams barely play against each other anymore. “Once in a lifetime I am going to get the opportunity to watch India versus Pakistan with Pakistanis,” Barretto said. “I made it a point to attend the national anthems.” Anthropology sophomore Ambreen Pathan sat in the crowd with her physics study guide in front of her and her eyes glued to the screen. “I did not plan on attending the viewing party because I have a test,” she said. “When I heard that India might win I dropped everything and came to watch. This is a big deal.” As the last 20 minutes of the game slowly unfolded, the silence spread across students watching the game. India had set the score for 260 runs at a loss of nine batsmen while Pakistan chased the score single-mindedly only to lose by 29 runs. The crowd’s silence erupted

into a wave of emotions. Team India fans heaved a sigh of relief while Team Pakistan fans left the game looking forward to their next opportunity. “I am happy that I am alive,” said Ajinkya Bandbe, industrial engineering graduate student. “If India would have lost, I would have died.” Pakistan supporters said they left disheartened. “I’m disappointed that they lost,” said finance senior Zohaib Chaudhry. “They put up a good fight. They did their best.” Business management freshman Fakaiha Arshad said she held out until the last minute, expecting Team Pakistan to pull through. Accounting sophomore Anum Mithani credited the loss to major batsmen being declared out too early. “The batsmen who weren’t as good were playing and you can’t expect much out of them,” she said. Organizers hope to host a viewing party of the finals this Saturday, Bandbe said. The Shorthorn: Sandy Kurtzman

power sources for students. “There are some sacrifices,” he said. “If we packed in chairs, we could probably pack in over 300, but it’ll probably be about 260. Because of tables and making the room more comfortable, you decrease the capacity of the room.” The classroom currently sits at a downward slant toward the front. John Hall, vice president of finance and campus operations, said the new look will include tiers gradually descending to the front. Allan Saxe, political science associate professor, said the renovation will be a welcome change from the lighting and acoustical issues of the past.

“Sometimes the [microphones] weren’t even working, and that happened more than once,” he said. “It’s really going to be a super room when they finish it up.” Hall said the work will begin promptly after the end of the semester to ensure completion by the beginning of fall classes. University spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said most of the funding for the project will be supplied by the UT System. She said $650,000 will come from the System’s Library, Equipment, Repair and Rehabilitation fund, and the remaining funds, about $150,000, would come from
university resources. “Overall, there is a concerted effort on this campus to use our existing space as effectively as we can,” Sullivan said. “What you’re seeing here are efforts to renovate existing space, because it’s more cost-effective.” A renovation for Geoscience Building Room 100 is also in the planning stages, but may not happen this summer. Hall said it will include removing the classroom’s stage, making it more costly than the Room 108 renovation. Bobbitt said updating the two classrooms are only the start for UTA. “Both of those rooms, either this summer, or in the case of geology next summer, are beginning the remodeling process,” he said.

one time with students. “Under those circumstances, the jobless rate will increase because kids won’t finish,” he said. He said the city needs to continue the educational standards it has been working on for several years. “I personally believe they are cutting the wrong thing,” Cluck said. He said the city doesn’t have any recommendations as to where cuts should be made. University spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said the bill would be altered as it goes through the legislative process, but the university expects more cuts in the next biennium. Sullivan said the university is taking measures to reduce spending, and that it has al-
ready been reduced by $10.5 million while keeping academics, students and faculty first. AISD communications coordinator Leslie Johnston said the district already had a $13.3 million deficit. Johnston said the school district must inform contracted employees, like teachers or counselors, if they will be returning by April 19 and can’t wait for the legislature to make a decision. She said positions would be cut from the school district’s approximately 8,500 employees, but through attrition. AISD employs about 4,200 teachers, of which 75 to 100 leave the district for varying reasons. She said filling those positions would be considered on a case-by-case basis. Johnston said the district is no longer considering closing some schools as a cost reduction method. Electrical engineering se-
nior Eduardo Moya’s 3-yearold son with autism attends Kooken Education Center. He said unlike Kooken, few schools in the area cater to the children with disabilities and though he understands the need for budget cuts, closing schools is not the answer. “They shouldn’t chop off the school dedicated to special needs children,” he said. AISD is working with local legislators to keep them up to date and encourage them to make the cuts as small as possible, Johnston said. She said the resolutions would be helpful. “We are glad to have the support of the city and thank them for sending it on to the legislature to try to bring attention to this situation,” she said.

No. 5 Aggies hold off Mavs in extra innings Mavericks aim for sLC domination Late error, lack of clutch hitting dooms Mavericks on ‘Orange Out’ night.
The No. 69-ranked team wants to stay perfect the rest of the way.
By Sam morton The Shorthorn sports editor
UtA lives and dies with senior catcher Chad Comer’s arm. Comer saved the Mavericks’ upset bid of No. 5 texas A&M on Wednesday by gunning down runners in key situations, but an errant throw in extra innings gave the Aggies a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. With two men on and one out in the tenth inning, Comer’s pickoff throw to first bounced off an Aggie’s back into right field, allowing the go-ahead run to score. the Aggies piled on two more runs and sealed a 7-4 win over UtA during ‘orange out’ night at Clay Gould Ballpark. “that’s a decision you make, and you either get him or you don’t,” head coach Darin thomas said. “obviously it was huge, but he knows that. these things happen and you learn from them.” one batter before the throw, Comer gunned texas A&M’s Jacob House down at third trying to advance on a sacrifice bunt. He also threw two baserunners out at second in the game. the loss marks the third time the Mavericks have lost to a Big 12 team this season, but Comer remains adamant they’re just as good and just haven’t found a way to pull one out. “Were on the same level as they are,” he said. “We’ve come

out on bottom a few times, but we gave that one away early in the game when we had chances to score runners and didn’t.” Freshman reliever Kasey Merck gave UtA the shutdown innings it needed, pitching four shutout innings and only letting four runners reach base. “It’s just baseball, but it’s frustrating to see two Big 12 teams sneak victories away from us,” Merck said. “It gets you confident, but at the same time, we’re disappointed to take a loss.” UtA lost a home game to oklahoma earlier this season.

the women’s tennis team is striving for domination of the southland Conference as they near the end of the regular season. “It’s been our goal ever since the season started to win every game in the conference,” freshman Giada D’ortona said. so far, that goal has been met. the Mavericks have already won their first six conference games of the season, and none of those wins have even been close. the only team to put more than one point on the board was Lamar, who only managed to win two points. the Mavericks beat Central Arkansas, Ut-san Antonio and texas state, 7-0, and conceded one point in 6-1 wins over Northwestern state and McNeese state. singles play is where the Mavericks have been flexing their muscles, with five players going undefeated in conference play. senior Daiana Negreanu, junior Nikola Matovicova, sophomore Maria Martinez-romero and freshmen Linda Aqvist and D’ortona all have a combined 27-0 sLC record. Martinez-romero spear-
heads the group and leads the team with a 14-1 overall record. Head coach Diego Benitez said she keeps getting better and better. “Maria continues to dominate against her opponent’s day in and day out,” he said. “she is just a tremendous solid player that will not let anything get in her way. she knows what she is capable of doing and continues to execute her game with great finesse.” With all that success in conference play, and an overall record of 11-4, the Mavericks have made their way into the Campbell’s/ ItA College tennis national rankings, which was another goal the team had at the start of the season. the Mavericks got as high as No. 59, but fell back to No. 69 after losing to tCU last Wednesday. Assistant coach Marco Matteucci knew the team had what it took to be nationally ranked. “I think that the girls see the potential they have this year to make a stay in the national rankings,” Matteucci said. the Mavericks have five more conference games left, and the toughest comes sunday in Nacogdoches against 12-1 stephen F. Austin. traviS Detherage sports-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Both men, women bank on big things at Bobby Lane Senior Cordero Gray has his eye on breaking UTA’s 100-meter dash record. By JoSh Bowe The Shorthorn senior staff
Cordero Gray’s statements were bold. the senior All-American track star wanted to make sure his intentions were known. “that 100-meter record might come down this weekend,” Gray said with a small grin. “that 10.14 [seconds].” Gray’s personal best in the 100-meter dash is 10.16, just a few ticks away from UtA’s school record of 10.14. But that record won’t be the same for long if Gray has anything to say about it. Gray and the UtA track team expect big things from the Bobby Lane Invitational Friday and saturday. the event, named after former UtA track coach and head trainer Bobby Lane, is the only home meet for the track team all season — indoor or outdoor. “All my family and friends get to watch me run,” Gray said. “Ev-
erybody gets to come out and watch us run, we get a lot of support. that’s the biggest thing.” Gray and other UtA top sprinters have been preparing for this meet since the outdoor season started. In the tCU Invitational and the North texas spring Classic, Gray and freshmen Clayton Vaughn and pamela Vinson haven’t competed in all of their events, saving their legs for this weekend. Waiting to run has been the hardest part of Gray’s preparation this week, he said. “the first meet, that was tough,” Gray said. “I know we’ve got bigger things to worry about than the first meet of the season.” the Bobby Lane Invitational has not only become a huge meet for UtA, but other top track athletes as well. tCU and Baylor are expected to send their top runners, and Jeremy Wariner, olympic gold medalist and Arlington native, is expected to participate. Head coach John sauerhage loves how important the event has become to his program, but
he also said this is just another event on the team’s schedule. “they know that the big prize is at the end,” sauerhage said. “We’ve got some guys and gals with common sense. It all fits into a puzzle. they’re only going to do as well as their bodies let them in April.” sophomore javelin thrower Ivan storic said he hasn’t trained as hard in the past as he has this week in preparation for the Bobby Lane Invitational. “I want to win,” storic said. “If the weather is good, I might break the school record.” Combined with the professional athletes and the bright lights of Maverick stadium, Gray expects to give the home crowd its money’s worth. “this will be my first time to run against the pros,” Gray said. “I’m looking to beat those guys. they better bring their ‘A’ game. I’m going to try and put on a show this weekend.” JoSh Bowe sports-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu
