SUSTAINABILITY
College Park Green dedicated today EXPANDED SHALE
IRRIGATION SYSTEM A weather station mounted on a pole receives weather information from local radio waves and waters the plants accordingly.
Mixed with the soil, gravel-sized rocks absorb and hold water during wet conditions and release it when the soil gets dry.
CENTRAL LAWN
SHADE STRUCTURES
The lawn area, with low semi-circular walls on either side, has LED lights in the walls that switch from blue to orange to white at night.
Made of recycled metals, it serves as a landmark for the Green while also proving shaded areas.
CLASS AREA The park has benches and plenty of lawn area for outdoor classrooms.
BIKE RACKS
RILL GARDEN
Two sets, one at each of the entrances to the Green, will accommodate 10 bicycles, provided one bike is fastened to one holder.
Runoff water from the campus is used to irrigate the garden. In case of heavy rains, there is an overflow tank near Mitchell Street to avoid flooding the street.
CRUSHED-GLASS WALKWAY The path is made of glass bottles from a landfill that have been crushed and tumbled to blunt edges. The walkway is porous, which allows for easier drainage of water into the rill garden.
NATIVE GRASSES Foliage native to Texas uses less water and handles extreme weather better. The foliage has been planted around the garden.

“We thought, ‘let’s do something creative,’” she said. “This whole project is designed around where each drop of water goes.” The green makes use of a rill garden, which is built to allow water to seep into the soil. The rill garden currently looks like a dry creek but will grow into a garden over time as the runoff irrigates the seeds planted in it.

variety of sustainable initiatives. The College Park District is the university’s latest expansion project, which in addition to the green, includes a special-events center, parking garages and housing. A major part of the sustainable effort is the park’s design, which deals with water runoff from the campus in a sustainable manner, said Janna Tidwell, landscape architect at Schrickel, Rollins and Associates, Inc.

Bobbitt: International parade brings world to university
Women’s studies to change name
Students from around the world gather at the UC to celebrate diversity. BY BIANCA MONTES The Shorthorn senior staff
Harsh winds left students who were parading with more than 50 banners representing various coun-
tries struggling to turn the corner in front of Nedderman Hall. As the parade made its way around the building, music associate professor Michael Varner yelled out to his group of percussionists, “the banners are coming — be prepared.” With the first strikes of the band’s PARADE continues on page 8

STUDENT LIFE
Student to sell T-shirts to help Japan Efforts raised $1,000 and donations will be sent to the American Red Cross in May. BY CHRIS BATES The Shorthorn staff
Biological chemistry junior Danny Nguyen adopted Thanh Nguyen’s, Art Institute of Dallas student, idea of starting a relief fund for tsunami-ravaged Japan and is actively advertising it around UTA
and the Arlington community. The two have collaborated in creating a shirt to be sold to aid Japan. The shirt is a red circle, similar to Japan’s flag, with the words “I Helped.” The shirts will be sold on campus next week. The relief effort is sponsored by the UTA Honors Society and has raised close to $1,000 from donations and shirt sales. Thanks to the JAPAN continues on page 8

The women’s studies program will switch to the women’s and gender studies program. Kimberly Van Noort, Liberal Arts associate dean, said faculty had been considering mimicking what other women’s studies programs around the nation have done, which is to incorporate gender studies in women’s studies centers on college campuses. “I think this change is going to open a lot of new possibilities for students to be thinking more critically about gender formation and identity,” she said. Noort said they want to give the subject matter a more prominent place in the name.
ONLINE What do you think about the program name change? Let us know at theshorthorn.com.
“We have always taught gender studies in a context of women’s studies,” she said. “It’s a very fundamental part of women’s studies as a discipline.” Noort hopes the new, broader name will encourage more students to become more interested in the program. “We hope this will encourage men to become interested, and encourage a greater awareness,” she said. Noort said women’s studies implies anything that has to do with a person’s perception of their gender or with how gender is created in various contexts. GENDER continues on page 4

PSYCHOLOGY
Research stems from 1954 murder Story of two girls’ struggle for support is subject of student’s future book. BY ASHLEY BRADLEY The Shorthorn staff
When Maria Guarneri-White, experimental psychology graduate student, was in tenth grade, she bought a VHS tape because the description on the back seemed interesting. Today, she is 80 percent done with a book on the movie’s subject. The 1994 film Heavenly Creatures is based on a true story in Christchurch, New Zealand, where two 15-year-old girls killed one of their mothers. The girls had an intense friendship because they both had serious diseases and hard times at home. Their parents, worried the girls were forming a romantic relationship, tried to break up the friendship. Guarneri-White’s area of research is developmental and social psychology, and how social support affects peoples’ lives. The case with these two girls relates to their need to have a social outlet. Her interest is in a human’s necessity to relate to others. “These were two incredibly lonely, ill girls who had finally found a best friend in the other, and they simply could not bear to give that up,” Guarneri-White said. “The fact they were so terrified of being separated made me want to look further into the importance of adolescent friendships.” Recently, at UTA’s Annual Celebration of Excellence by Students, Guarneri-White won an award for her research on social support with children who are bullied in school. She said her research found that those who are bullied but have someone to talk to have a similar amount of anxiety issues as those who are not bullied at all. “No man is an island,” GuarneriWhite said. “Everybody does need someone.” Guarneri-White has had the same best friend since sixth grade, and said she always takes her friendships seriously. Her friend, Angela Schumacher, said she remembers when Guarneri-White first showed her the film and also relates to its message. “We depended on each other for survival,” she said. “If I didn’t have her growing up, I would not be

Young men’s group to host candidate forum Young Men for Arlington will host a City Council Candidate Forum at 6:30 tonight at the Maverick Activities Center Lone Star Auditorium. All 13 mayor and city council candidates and four Arlington School Board Trustee candidates will attend, but District 3 candidate Marvin Sutton may have to leave early, said Brandon Hill, Young Men for Arlington president. The group hosts a candidate forum during every city election cycle. Hill said the university is an important part of our community and one of the largest economic factors in the city. “It’s important that the voice of UTA be heard,” he said. Hill said the event would be divided into two segments: The first 30 minutes would be for the school board trustees and an hour and 45 minutes for the city council candidates. He said the candidates will be asked five, preselected questions and be given an equal amount of time to respond. Young Men for Arlington is a nonpartisan group whose mission is to be well-informed and participate in local politics. Byron Pascoe, Young Men for Arlington executive board member, will moderate for the School Board Trustees and Matt Roberts, Young Men for Arlington executive board member, will moderate for the city council. — Ali Amir Mustansir

here today.” Schumacher said during the years, the two have had their up and downs, but they have always been there for each other when it was important. To move her research along, Guarneri-White said she plans to travel with her husband to New Zealand this summer to take a tour of one of the murderer’s old houses. Her husband, Joshua White, said he is proud of his wife’s work and will be happy to go on the trip. “I go to work, come home, relax,” he said. “She goes to work, and then comes home to work. The job I work at, I like, but not as much as she enjoys hers.” Guarneri-White said she hopes to finish her book after she returns from the trip.

She said she is thankful to be surrounded by strong social support in both her friends and her marriage, but that maybe her research topic was inspired in a strange way. “I have a murder in New Zealand in 1954 to thank for my research,” she said. “It’s a really complicated case.” The two girls who murdered the mother spent five years in prison, then were released on the condition that they never speak to one another again. One of the women, Anne Perry, is now a detective novelist. The other, Pauline Parker, runs a children’s writing school in England.

Jeff Walker, film and video senior, left, and music media senior Justin Shelton are working together to apply music to Walker’s short film. The duo are students in Ya’Ke Smith’s, art and art history assistant professor, and Micah Hayes’, music visiting assistant professor, classes. Students in the classes are collaborating for class projects. Students from Smith’s class are preparing short films and students from Hayes’ class are creating music for films.
Film and music students cross tracks By Tory Barringer The Shorthorn staff
Ya’Ke Smith, art and art history assistant professor, and Micah Hayes, music visiting assistant professor, have a history of collaboration on movie scores. now, they’re working to foster the same sense of cooperation in their students. For the second semester, Smith and Hayes are having their students work together to create original movie scores. Smith’s students from his advanced film and video production class provide their own short film projects. Students in Hayes’ techniques and technology in film scoring class take a look at the product and talk to directors to create music for the film. The synergy is part of a larger effort to bring the fine arts departments together. Smith said he is currently talking to the Theater Arts Department about working together for future projects. “We’re all in the same building, and we could all use some help,” Smith said. “I’m trying to go for full collaboration.” Smith said his students were reluctant about working with a different department at first. “It was challenging for them at

Katrina’s Son, Smith’s award-winning short film, will also be screened. Smith collaborated with Hayes in scoring that film as well as a few other projects. The two are working on scoring Smith’s next project, Wolf. Hayes said last semester’s collaboration between the classes produced impressive results. “By the end of the semester, I felt like they could go out on their own with other directors and be successful,” Hayes said. For Shelton and other students, the opportunity to work with the directors of the future is extremely valuable. “Because we are aspiring musicians and filmmakers, it’s a lot of experimentation,” Shelton said. “In college, we are each others’ network. The people in L.A. don’t need us right now. The people we work with now will have our names later.”

Desiree Henderson, women’s studies interim chairwoman, said they didn’t want to exclude ‘women’ from the title, being that fall would mark its 20th anniversary. “We didn’t want to leave that important history behind,� she said. “We wanted to honor all the hard work that faculty and students have put into this program.� Henderson said they want to preserve women’s studies, but add gender studies because it represents where things have changed or grown. “The discipline has
evolved,� she said. “The major change is that gender studies acknowledged the fact that women are not the only ones who have a gender and that genders can take multiple forms and affects women, sexuality and sexual identity.� Henderson said the department is looking toward a broader focus that would reflect the program. “I think that the name change is a growth opportunity for the program,� she said. “We are hoping to raise our profile among the student body and appeal to students who might have felt that women’s studies was something that they didn’t understand or didn’t seem to relate to.� Henderson said perhaps gender studies is a concept
that will be something they can connect to a little bit more and feel welcomed. “We are often asked the question of whether or not men are allowed to take women’s studies classes, and so this is an opportunity to clarify that men are encouraged and welcome to participate in our program,� she said. Interdisciplinary studies senior Eric Discus said he believes the name change will appeal to more men, including himself. “I always thought it was just geared towards women,� he said. “I would take these courses it if I knew that it wasn’t just for women.� Stephanie Knefel news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

At the end of the rill garden is an overflow tank to deal with water during periods of heavy rain and to avoid flooding Mitchell Street. Interdisciplinary studies senior Chowgene Koay said he was impressed with the garden, but wished students had been given more opportunities to be involved with it. “They are being considerate about the local community, which is nice,� he said with reference to the overflow tank. “They did apply some technologies that are pretty ahead of the curve, but I also wish there was some student participation in the decisions relating to the park.� Another water-saving feature is the irrigation system, Tidwell said. “It will only water in certain weather conditions,� she said. “There is a weather station mounted on a pole, it receives information from the local radio waves and waters accordingly.� The weather station would take about a year to calibrate and work properly, Tidwell said. It is currently under repair, and the pole it was mounted on is going to be replaced. Sustainability Director Meghna Tare said the green is a pilot project for the Sustainable Sites Initiative, which rates landscape projects for sustainable practices. “We have put so much time and resources into it, if you can get national recognition for it, it’s good,� she said.

Final battle rages in Ivory Coast
Tartara Siegel rises to her own challenge with a 9-foot teapot.
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — The United Nations and French forces opened fire with attack helicopters Monday on the arsenal of this country’s entrenched ruler, as columns of foot soldiers finally pierced the city limit and surrounded the strongman’s home. The fighters aiming to topple strongman Laurent Gbagbo had succeeded in taking nearly the entire countryside in just three days last week, but they faltered once they reached the country’s largest city, where the presidential palace and residence are located.
By Tory Barringer The Shorthorn staff
it’s 9 a.m., and most students are either waking up or dragging themselves to class. Art senior Tatara Siegel, however, is already hard at work in the clay studio at the Studio Arts Center. She’s been there for hours, sculpting and planning the biggest piece she’s ever made. Top 40 music blares from a stereo as she molds her clay and fits the pieces of her work together. The final product will be a common ceramic item – a teapot – but Siegel’s will stand about nine feet tall. “it’s the first thing i thought when someone said, ‘What does it mean to be a ceramics artist?’� Siegel said. A clay artist since she was 6 years old, Siegel likes to mix the ordinary with the remarkable. She explained the goal of the piece is to create a traditional item with a challenging theme. “i’m always making my art based on this notion of highhanging fruit,� she said. “The best fruit is at the top of the tree because it gets the best light.� discontent with using the standard round teapot design, Siegel altered the traditional teapot form into an elongated design. She uses a press to coil the clay and make it into a more workable shape, which allows her to build up the pieces. Because the work is so large, she has to build it in pieces and then fires each one separately, a process akin to baking each one in a kiln, a large high-firing oven that hardens the clay into a permanent shape. in order to reach the top of the piece, she’s building a ladder from saplings. Siegel plans on serving tea from the giant vessel. The tea will brew under the sun and dispense through a tap in the lower portion of the pot. Siegel said drinks will be available when the finished work is unveiled.

9/11 suspects to face military tribunals WASHINGTON — Yielding to political opposition, the Obama administration gave up Monday on trying avowed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged henchmen in civilian federal court in New York and will prosecute them instead before military commissions. The families of those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks have waited almost a decade for justice, and “it must not be delayed any longer,� Attorney General Eric Holder told a news conference at the Justice Department.
Obama opens bid for new term WASHINGTON — No longer the fresh voice of change, President Barack Obama embarked on a bid for re-election Monday by asking a divided, anxious electorate to let him finish the job he won in 2008. He’s getting an early start against a Republican field that’s still undefined, but he’s saddled with an ailing economy that still isn’t working for millions of voters. Obama began with an effort to recapture his outsider’s touch of 2008, bypassing a public statement from the White House in favor of an email sent to millions of supporters.

Art senior Tatara Siegel sprays water on parts of her nine-foot-tall teapot in the Studio Arts Center on March 24. Siegel must keep the pieces damp to protect the clay from cracking as it dries from the inside out.
The teapot is an independent project required for an advanced clay class Siegel is taking. Nicholas Wood, art and art history associate professor and Siegel’s advanced clay instructor, said he had concerns when Siegel presented her idea. “i told her that she was moving up in scale quite a bit and that she would probably have to confront logistical problems,� Wood said. “Getting all those parts to fit is tricky. She was ready to deal with it.� Alumna Anna Atteberry, who is taking classes for her portfolio, serves as Siegel’s unofficial adviser for the project. She said she helps with the practical questions of building such a large creation. “Her idea with the teapot is would you rather take the easy route or the hard route?� Atteberry said. Atteberry said working on the teapot can sometimes be chaotic. one of the pieces had to be redone several times because of accidents around the studio, including a time when Siegel misstepped and knocked it over while it was still wet. Siegel admitted to having

Southern Univ. athletic director arrested HOUSTON — Southern University athletic director Greg LaFleur is free on bond after his arrest in Houston on a charge of soliciting a prostitute. Houston police spokesman John Cannon says the 52-year-old former NFL tight end was arrested on a downtown street about 8:30 p.m. Sunday as a result of a reverse prostitution sting by undercover officers. LaFleur was released Monday on $500 bond. Court records showed no attorney for LaFleur, whose home telephone has been disconnected. University spokesman Edward Pratt says Southern officials will investigate, then “will determine what action or actions are necessary.� LaFleur has been Southern’s athletic director for six years. The Ville Platte, La., native and former LSU star tight end and receiver played with the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts in the NFL.

her parents’ home. For all her difficulties, Siegel devotes much of her time to completing the teapot. Atteberry expressed admiration for Siegel’s dedication to the project even when she’s facing problems with it. “Seeing her come back and go back to work on it is impressive,� Atteberry said. “That’s all she wants to do this semester.�
some problems with the construction of the teapot, but believes the personal challenge was the point. “i have never worked at this scale,� she said. “i wanted to push myself and see if i could do this in the limited time of a semester.� When she completes the piece, Siegel wants to shop it around to galleries in the area. if that fails, she said it would make a good outdoor piece by
Suspects in assaults on girl appear in court LIBERTY — Six of the 19 men and boys accused of taking part in a series of sexual assaults on an 11-year-old girl pleaded not guilty Monday in a case that has horrified and divided a small Texas town. Other defendants also appeared in court — meaning nearly all of the 14 adults charged in the case went before a judge. The hearings Monday were brief and businesslike, with the defendants saying little, if anything. Most had family members in the large courtroom, and most defendants left after their individual cases were settled. A few of the defendants and their families stayed throughout the hearings.

Flag controversy sparks parade name change By Bianca Montes The Shorthorn senior staff
For 17 years, UTA’s longest running tradition, International Week, began with a Parade of Flags to celebrate the campus’ rich cultural diversity. Spring 2006 marked the last year students were allowed to carry flags in the parade. Prior to International Week that year, international students from Vietnam requested to have the Republic of Vietnam flag hung in Nedderman Hall and walked in the ceremony. “The red flag and star are not what we are,” Huong Duong, then Vietnamese Student Association secretary told The Shorthorn. “We’re not communist, we’re free Vietnamese-Americans, and we don’t want to support communism and oppression – which is what that flag stands for.” On April 11, 2006, The Shorthorn editorial board took a call of action and claimed that both flags should be hung in Nedderman Hall. “At a campus event meant to illustrate diverse cultures, all students deserve equal representation,” the editorial stated. Following the controversy, President James Spaniolo agreed that both flags would
be hung and carried at the end of International Week at the Global Extravaganza. On April 14, 2006, The Shorthorn reported the beginning of several protests calling for the removal of the Republic of Vietnam flag from Nedderman Hall. In the May 2, 2006 issue of The Shorthorn, it was reported that more than 2,500 Vietnamese-Americans, from around the country, protested on campus shouting, “President Spaniolo, take down that flag.” Representatives and senators in the state legislature wrote 17 letters to Spaniolo pressuring the removal of the red flag and threatened a detachment of the university from an educational bond that would provide $70 million for a new engineering building. According to the May 30, 2006 edition of The Shorthorn, Spaniolo removed all of the flags from Nedderman Hall, calling the effort a “cooling-off period.” In spring 2007 banners representing the campus’ diversity replaced the flags in Nedderman Hall, and the Parade of Flags was replaced with a Parade of Banners.

The 34th annual International Week featured the Parade of Banners on Monday. Students carried banners that represented more than 50 countries through the Central Library mall to the University Center Bluebonnet Ballroom.

drums, the wind momentarily ceased and the students paraded to the Central Library mall where Provost Donald Bobbitt formally introduced the Grand Opening of International Week. The blue-and-white banners bear the names of countries UTA’s international students call home. “You bring the world to us,” he said, welcoming the students as they formed a circle around a stage. The banners marched through campus in celebration of UTA’s diverse students. Bobbitt said an excellent education involves exposure to the world. “This makes the world a much smaller place for us,”
he said. Following the introductions, the percussionists continued to beat an African and Samba beat on their drums, and the Parade of Banners marched through campus. As the parade continued on to the University Center Bluebonnet Ballroom, students gathered on the sides of buildings and danced to the music and took pictures with their cellphones. Anthropology junior Natasha Peffers said she was sitting on the Central Library mall when she heard the drumming. As a new student to the campus, Peffers said the parade was a welcoming and
pleasant surprise. Country representatives from Nigeria to Switzerland introduced themselves in the Bluebonnet Ballroom “I really love it,” industrial engineering sophomore Pamela Marrufo said after marching in the parade. Marrufo, an international student from Mexico, said she will never forget seeing people from all over the world marching together. “You feel something special inside,” she said. “People from all over the world came together in one place to show their culture.” Ellen Ranit, International Student Organization president, said 20 campus organizations are participating
in this year’s International Week. “It’s important to me to keep this upstanding tradition going in order to bring together everyone in UTA, and to have different cultural organizations represented,” she said. International Week continues at 11 a.m. today on the University Center mall with the week’s most popular event, the food fair. Student organizations will offer traditional foods from all over the world. Tickets for the food are 25 cents a ticket and $5 for a meal. Bianca Montes news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

graphic from shirt designer Thanh Nguyen, 60 T-shirts have been sold since the tsunami struck. The shirts are sponsored by the National Society of Leadership and Success. Danny Nguyen brought Thanh Nguyen’s design to UTA to gather interest and will be picking up 150 preordered shirts on Wednesday. His goal is to raise $10,000 by May, when the donations will be sent to Japan. Nguyen said he got a contract with the American Red Cross that will enable him to send the donations. Danny Nguyen said he will be visiting 30 Arlington businesses and restaurants to gather monetary donations and gift cards to be auctioned off April 22 at the fundraising ceremony in the University Center Bluebonnet Ballroom. The idea to bring the effort to UTA sparked from his desire to repay society, Danny Nguyen said. “I have been provided so much support from the government and the university so I can support my 3-yearold son,” he said. “This fund is my way to show how grateful I am for the government, and I want to do what I can to give back to society.” Thanh Nguyen said he came up with the idea of the shirt by thinking of a symbol to represent Japan without using the country’s name. “I used a paint brush to show that Japan is in a rough state right now, rather then the solid red circle symbolizing strength of fullness,” he said. “I wanted to depict a more vulnerable Japan. I used ‘I HELPED’ in the middle to encourage people to buy the shirts; it lets them get something out of helping. ‘I HELPED’ also creates awareness.” Biology lecturer Lee Ann Frederick is proud of what the students have done so far and sees great success in the future. “I hope they are able to raise a lot of money and become leaders in their com-

disasters put stress on children in Japan KARAKUWA, Japan — Behind the smiling faces of thousands of children in shelters across this wave-battered wasteland, experts say there is often serious anxiety as everything these youngsters once held as normal is suddenly anything but. Reminders of the tiniest victims are scattered throughout the wreckage: a little girl’s white shoe caked in mud, a red rubber ball coated in dust, a sodden comic book whose ink has run. As many as 25,000 people may have been killed in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan’s northeast coast and damaged a nuclear plant, sending radiation spewing into the environment. Tens of thousands are still living in shelters. For the children, the monster in the closet has been replaced by the monster of Mother Nature: The ground they play on can rattle and crack, the ocean they swim in can morph into a killer wave, the air they breathe might carry harmful radioactive particles. — The Associated Press
munity, which is what the Honors Society is all about,” she said. Thanh Nguyen said he was inspired to help Japan after watching the news and finding that people weren’t doing enough to help. “People aren’t really doing enough. When Haiti happened, the government and
many organizations stepped in, but no one paid any attention to Japan because the [U.S.] government said they were a more advanced society so they can help themselves. I wanted to put the skills I learned into good use.“ chris Bates news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu
