CRIME

Police investigate motive in murder-suicide case Staff member reports that the suspect was following her Friday morning. BY SARAH LUTZ AND MONICA S. NAGY The Shorthorn staff and news editor

A staff member reported a student she had previously counseled following her Friday morning. The student is

now suspected of killing the staff member’s husband moments before taking his own life later that night. Friday at 10:24 a.m., staff member Adria Villarreal told the UTA Police that business senior Antonio Garcia had been following her. Police determined that no offense was committed and the

case was cleared. University spokeswoman Kristen Sullivan said because the case is now an ongoing investigation she and others on campus can not comment on the incident. At 6:50 p.m. that night, UTA Police responded to the shooting, which occurred at about 5:45 p.m. at Coun-

try Day School of Arlington Montessori on 1105 W. Randol Mill Road. Belo Corp. executive Steve McIntosh, Villarreal’s husband, and Garcia were both found lying on the parking lot. McIntosh was picking up his 3-year-old daughter, CASE continues on page 3

Now that the teacher evaluations are going online are you more likely to fill one out?

Here’s a look at what happens to the Student Feedback Survey forms under the current system:

BY J.C. DERRICK The Shorthorn senior staff

Beginning as early as this fall, student faculty surveys could be moved completely online. There are more than 100,000 reasons to do so. David Silva, vice provost for academic affairs, said moving the surveys online will accomplish several objectives, including saving the university $37,000 per year in direct costs by not printing 100,000 forms. “By moving it online, we hope to make it more efficient, more convenient, because then students will have a window of opportunity to provide feedback about a course,” Silva said. “It will also expedite the creation of the reports, because we will no longer have to wait the several weeks it takes to scan over 100,000 two-sided forms.” Silva estimated several thousand dollars in additional savings from indirect personnel-related costs, but he said becoming more enviONLINE continues on page 6

“I probably wouldn’t. I think it’ll be easier to just do them in class. If you put it online no one will do it.”

“Yeah. It’s just easy and available. I think most students won’t do it because it’s in their free time now.”

Student hit by a Ford Explorer, driver arrested BY VALLARI GUPTE The Shorthorn staff

A Ford Explorer struck a UTA student at 8:48 a.m. at the intersection of S. Nedderman Drive and Planetarium Place on Monday. Communication sophomore Brittany Anderson saw a woman on the ground in a puddle as she walked from her class in the Life Science Building. “The woman had a big, nasty, bloody wound on her arm,” she said. UTA Police Capt. Jay Tillerson said the police arrested the male student driver. The case is still under investigation, so the identities of both the driver and the pedestrian will be re-

When student faculty surveys are dispersed during the next two weeks, Kelsey Burt will take them seriously. She always does. “It means a lot,” the nursing sophomore said. “I know it means a lot to [professors], and it means a lot to me to get my voice out there.” Burt is not alone in her attention to student faculty surveys. Although they’re just one piece of the faculty evaluation process, the surveys provide insight into teaching excellence at UTA. Physics professor Ali Koymen said the surveys allow students to make a difference. “It’s a very important part of the whole process,” he said. “It gives feedback to the university and the professors as to what things need to be improved, what’s done well and what’s not done well. This is the one time the students have a real chance to change the level of teaching.” As of last year, the surveys also began providing insight for students, too.

Final dean candidate: university needs to better self-promote UTA can’t rely on media to promote, says Craig Benson. BY JOHN HARDEN The Shorthorn senior staff

UTA’s research activity and strategy looks similar to UT-Austin 30 years ago, a sign that the university is on the right track to reaching national prominence, the final engineering dean candidate said Monday. Craig Benson is one of four candidates, one of whom will replace Engineering Dean Bill Carroll after he steps down this fall. The geological engineering chairman from the University of Wisconsin-Madison said leadership and a focus on excellence would propel UTA

UTA has the faculty and the resources, and all it needs now is a good leader.” Benson said one of UTA’s biggest downfalls is FORUM continues on page 5

Student life

University Classics Club hosts Homerathon The University Classics Club is hosting Homerathon, an all-day recital of Homer’s The Odyssey. The recitation will begin at 7 a.m. and end at 10:30 p.m. on the University Center mall. Homer’s epic, The Odyssey, was written in 59 segments, and each individual speaker will be allotted 15 minutes to recite their portion of the story on Tuesday. The Odyssey is the tale of the Greek war hero Odysseus on his journey home from the Trojan War. The epic is one of two of Homer’s works and is one of the oldest stories ever to have been recorded. Among its initial conception, philosophy associate professor Charles Chiasson said the story often was recited by the ancient Greeks in public forum competitions against other poets. The tradition of the oral recitation of poems dates back to the oral epoch, a time in classical history before stories and poems were ever recorded. Chiasson said the reason The Odyssey was chosen to be recited instead of The Iliad, Homer’s other epic, is because its popularity and level of interest amongst readers. The public is invited, and there are still spots available to those who wish to participate in the recital. — Joel Cooley

Student creates Latin-inspired artwork with flair The art company inspired by Dia de los Muertos sells clothes and toys. By Stephanie Knefel The Shorthorn staff

If students are seeking unique Latin-inspired accessories, they can look to one of UTA’s own. University Studies senior Stephanie Longoria operates her own art company called Longoria Girls. Longoria’s crafts are focused around skulls, skeletons and Dia de los Muertos-related items. Longoria has been working on her craft professionally for five years now. “I want people to pick up my skeleton dolls and say ‘He’s so cute,’ not ‘That’s creepy,’” she said of her eccentric pillows. Longoria’s inspiration comes from her love of rock ‘n’ roll and her young children. “I always try to make things that they want to play with or wear,” she said. “Things that will let me share my childhood with them in a way that isn’t boring.” Longoria comes from a family of artists. She said she grew up with a passion to make things, no matter what they were. Diana Sandoval, Longoria’s husband’s aunt, believes her work could be sold in up-scale stores like Pottery Barn. “Her work is so unique, professional and beautiful,” she said. “It’s art whether it’s on a onesie, pillow or earrings.” Sandoval said Longoria’s art is something she has never seen before, and it gives her memories of her childhood playing Loteria, a Mexican game similar to bingo. “She revitalized and mod-

ronmentally friendly is also a top objective. The university is still investigating the best way to make the switch, so Silva said it may not happen right away. “It’s important for us not to migrate the entire campus to the online environment until we’re ready to do it,” he said. “I would rather continue

University studies senior Stephanie Longoria’s collection of decorative pillows is inspired from ‘La Loteria,’ a Spanish version of the game ‘Bingo’, and ‘El Dia de los Muertos,’ or ‘Day of the Dead’. “A lot of stuff I make is inspired by the stuff I grew up with,” Longoria said.

ernized this from the past,” she said. “Loteria is something that goes back to when we were young and gives us wonderful memories of our childhood.” Longoria said her husband is her biggest supporter and critic. “If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to run my business,” she said. “When I do arts and craft shows, he is the muscle, packing up and

unloading everything.” Stephanie’s husband, Aaron Longoria, an artist himself, said he has a lot of faith in her work. “When I first met her I saw that she had a lot of talent and potential,” he said. Longoria said it’s nice to have her work seen by other people. “It’s flattering,” she said. “It’s nice to know that someone appreciates it.”

Longoria Girls started out in a business with her sisterin-law a few years back, but now is solo. Last year, she started beading Dia de los Muertos fabric panels and pillows to sell. After graduating this May, she will teach painting classes for children at The Canvas, a new studio in Arlington. Longoria and her husband are currently discussing the possibility of opening a store a

a way that’s organized and meaningful and manageable.” The information posted online includes responses to six questions, including whether a student would recommend the professor to other students. Silva said it’s important to remember that professors are evaluated on teaching, research and service, and feedback surveys are only one component to consider. “I’m mindful of the fact that these sorts of numeric

summaries are oversimplifications of a process that is extremely complex and nuanced, and that’s teaching,” Silva said. “One should never think that a number on a screen should be the sole factor in assessing how any instructor performs his or her job.” At the same time, Silva said positive student feedback can be an indicator of excellence. “Instructors who consistently outscore their peers in

their department are those most often nominated for teaching awards,” he said. Silva said negative student responses, while not taken at face value, could prompt further investigation by a department chair. Steven Apell, urban planning and policy doctoral student, would like more communication from the university when students react negatively to a professor. “I wish the university would say, ‘OK, we hear you,

we heard what you said last semester, and this is how we’re tackling this particular issue,’” he said. Provost Donald Bobbitt said the bottom line is professors need to care about students. “You want faculty who are as concerned as the provost about the success of our students — and fortunately we have a lot,” he said.

with the paper as a familiar technique for everybody than move us prematurely to online, because I don’t want to undermine the integrity of the process.” The university’s primary concern is participation when the surveys are moved online, Silva said. Criminal justice junior Amber Ayala said she would continue to provide feedback in cyberspace. “I really put some thought into it to help students who

come after me,” she said. Other students, like international business junior Ana Valdes, said they wouldn’t bother. “I don’t think people would fill them out if they were online. Right now, we’re kind of forced to fill them out,” she said. “They give you the paper in class, and you fill it out.” Findings at the University of North Texas would seem to verify that information. In preparation for making the switch to online student fac-

ulty surveys last year, Deputy Provost Celia Williamson said UNT officials found that response rates were likely to be lower than in-class surveys. However, she said the university traded quantity for quality. “With our focus groups, we found that, although they [inclass surveys] may get a higher percentage turned in, some students didn’t feel comfortable giving open feedback,” she said. “The focus groups said you would get more ac-

curate evaluation results, with less numbers, online.” R.C. Baker, Information Systems and Operations Management chairman, said another benefit of online surveys includes not having to comb through the more than 4,000 pages of data he receives each semester. “Right now, for me to dig out information, it’s a slow and painful process,” he said.

President wants new dean hired by September The hiring committee will review the candidates and make a recommendation. By john harden The Shorthorn senior staff

It could take the entire summer before the university makes a decision on who will replace Engineering Dean Bill Carroll, who steps down this fall. Now that engineering dean candidates have had an opportunity to tour and introduce themselves to UTA, Provost Donald Bobbitt said the university will review each candidate and decide on who is the best fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hiring committee

will review each one and make recommendations to the president,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They could end up choosing one candidate, or they could recommend all four.â&#x20AC;? Bobbitt said President James Spaniolo will make the final decision and would like to hire the new dean by September. Deans are hired by the same process as faculty. Salaries are determined by the university and based on a deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs to perform the job he or she was hired to do. Some qualifications for a successful candidate outlined by the university include being an energetic leader with administrative

experience, preferably as a department chair, and having a strategic vision. The candidate must also demonstrate a passion for teaching and achieving the criteria to meet Tier One research status. Each candidate comes from prominent research universities with research activity higher than UTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The university didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to attract candidates from high-research institutions, but they found UTA an attractive opportunity to expand his career, Bobbitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That says a lot about each candidate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each candidate has decided to come here and expand

their career portfolio.â&#x20AC;? Bobbitt said each is a builder looking to take UTA to the next step in its efforts to reach Tier One. The university wants someone who can align academic research and development with what is needed to teach and train our next generation of engineers, said Ron Elsenbaumer, research and federal relations vice president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tall order but an amazing opportunity for the right candidate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next dean of UT-Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Engineering will have one of the most challenging and invigorating jobs within one of the

nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major research institutions.â&#x20AC;? The last dean UTA hired was Science Dean Pamela Jansma in August 2009. Jansma said the process of hiring a new dean is long and can sometimes take months depending on the applicants. Each engineering dean candidate visited the campus and met with deans from each college and school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a great pool of candidates,â&#x20AC;? Jansma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to working with a new colleague, as well as the other deans.â&#x20AC;? john harden news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

College of Engineeringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest weakness

The college places too much dependency on state funding.

The college is too passive in promoting its research endeavors to the community and nation.

UTA isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using its faculty to its full potential to increase research activity.

The college has a large unproductive older faculty not conducting research.

Suggestion

UTA has to make itself relevant to the community and take advantage of the private sectors and alumni to free itself from state dependency.

The college needs to make the region care about the university and its research by being active in promoting the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes. Creating a strong brand within the region will help attract high-quality faculty and students.

The dean needs to create an environment that promotes creativity and rewards faculty for their hard work. Incentives to conduct research and faculty awards are helpful in reaching university goals.

One way to promote research is to buy out older, unproductive faculty and hire younger, active faculty members.

Forum continued from page 1

that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too passive in promoting its endeavors and successes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, people think that if you have a major breakthrough then the media will come to you. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old school way of thinking,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we want people to notice us and get our name out there, we have to be active in self-promotion.â&#x20AC;? About 70 to 80 people attended the forum, and some asked Benson questions after he completed his 20-minute presentation. Faculty asked how he would address budget cuts next semester and how he would be transparent in his messages to the college and each department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big picture guy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to have a vision and then let the faculty help me shape that vision. If I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the support of the faculty and staff, then I fail as a dean.â&#x20AC;? Matt Scott, a business junior and civil engineering minor, attended all four forums. He said he thought all candidates were great during their presentation, but said he particularly favors Benson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation seemed more thoughtful and focused on not just the big Tier One picture, but also the needs of the students and faculty,â&#x20AC;? he said. After each forum, attendees are asked to fill out an online survey to rate candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; traits like leadership, communication and dedication. The universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring committee will review each online survey before making its final decision. Provost Donald Bobbitt said the timeline to hire a new dean is flexible and could take the entire summer. He said there are variables the university has to consider when making its decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An outside company conducted the search for the new dean, so the university would remain objective in its selection process, but the president ultimately makes the final decision,â&#x20AC;? he said. john harden news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Kevin Jacobs, philosophy and art senior, is right at home in his garage creating his unique paintings and wooden designs. Jacobs was hired as an intern for the Goss-Michael Foundation. He has since moved up to become a gallery attendant which allows him to meet renowned British artists such as Martin Creed and Sadie Coles.

The Art of Philosophy By Tory BArringer The Shorthorn staff

Kevin Ruben Jacobs’ garage houses a collection of his works, from paintings to wooden assemblies. One small piece, which sits atop a toolbox, sums up his relationship with the art world. etched in the wood are the words “I LIKe ART. I HATe ART. I LOVe ART. I HATe ART.” “I’m a really frustrated practitioner,” philosophy and art senior said. “Set within this kind of institution that teaches art, there are these conventions. I realized fairly quickly that I’m not going to be doing that kind of stuff.” Instead, Jacobs approaches his work like a musician in a jam session. He picks through planks of wood in his garage studio, looking at old cuts and waiting for something to inspire him. “I’m kind of the little jokester in the [school] studio,” he said. “every time someone comes up and asks what I’m doing, I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’ I don’t even think about expression. I don’t want it to be about

me. I want it to be about the thing.” His unconventional style led him to an internship last spring at the Goss-Michael Foundation, a Dallas gallery that celebrates the works of contemporary British artists. Many of these artists share Jacobs’ habit of using throwaway materials and a disdain for conventional artistic methods. After a few months, his internship turned into a paid position as a gallery attendant. “They talked to me about a parttime position,” Jacobs laughed. “Uh, yeah. Yes, please. That would be great. I love everything about that job. It’s ridiculous.” “We’re thrilled he was about to start out as an intern and join us,” said Joyce Goss, the foundation’s executive director. “He brings a lot of curiosity, a lot of energy. I think it’s good for him as a young artist, and it’s good for us as well.” In his time at the foundation, Jacobs has had the opportunity to rub elbows with famed British artists like Jim Lambie, Martin creed and

Sadie coles, the owner of the Sadies coles HQ gallery in London. He now knows many of the artists on a personal level, and coles invited him to her gallery any time he likes. “We really got to know each other,” Jacobs said. “To say we’re friends is weird, but that’s what happened. I don’t know. I’m just a kid from north Richland Hills.” Being in close proximity with some of his favorite artists inspires Jacobs to do greater things. “A lot of the artists there have made a significant contribution to modern art,” he said. “In that sense, I try to mount up to that level.” For his part, he inspires a lot of his fellow art students. Art senior c.J. Davis first studied printmaking with Jacobs in Argentina as part of a study abroad program. Years later, Jacobs still fascinates him. “The thing that was interesting about Kevin was his philosophy background, which changes everything for an artist,” Davis said. “He was interesting to a lot of us. He had lots of questions you don’t typically get from

young artists.” When the two took an advanced drawing class together, Davis saw how Jacobs explored his thoughts as he created. He also could see Jacobs’ dissatisfaction with normal art conventions. “He’s a natural artist,” Davis said. “He could paint what he saw, but he wasn’t pleased enough with painting a face or still life. He wanted to know why people make what they make. He was just a sponge.” Despite his serious philosophy, Jacobs is all smiles when he’s in his studio. He shows off some of his experimental pieces before dismissing them as “dumb.” cracking a broad smile, he remembers his art adviser buying one of his works, a spongy lump of dried oil paint that he threw together and stored on a whim. “A lot of what I try to do is to do something new,” he said. “It’s staying fresh. You have to do a lot of stuff before you can understand what you do.” Tory BArringer features-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Jazz Orchestra works on new CD Students and faculty jazz it up in recording studio By Allen BAldwin The Shorthorn staff

For some musicians, recording an original song can be a dream come true. For jazz studies sophomore Brandon Bateman, it’s reality. “I want to get into composing and arranging,” the saxophone player said. “I never expected something I arranged would be on a cD so soon. It’s a really cool feeling.” The Jazz Orchestra traveled to crystal clear Sound Studios in Irving on Thursday and Friday to record a new cD. Jazz studies director Tim Ishii said the department’s focus with the cD was to feature compositions and arrangements by people affiliated with UTA. Two songs were arranged by alumni; one from Dan cavanagh, jazz studies assistant director, and one from Bateman. Bateman’s arrangement was based on “Windows” by pianist chick corea. Bateman said it’s one of his favorite pieces and he wanted to arrange it for a big band. “It started off as a lead sheet, which is a melody and a chord progression, basically the skeleton of the song,” he said. “I wrote other parts that weave together. If the lead sheet is the skeleton, my part is the muscles.” The cD has not yet been titled and will consist of six tracks. Ishii said some of the tracks are as long as eight minutes. “It was fun, and I gained a lot of

Music graduate student Jaime Reyes warms up with the Jazz Orchestra Friday at Crystal Clear Sound Studios in Irving. The orchestra recorded a CD with six songs to use for recruiting and fundraising.

insight into the recording process,” music education freshman Sadie Hernandez said. “I didn’t know it took that much work to record a cD. It’s us playing music all day for two days, and it’s pretty fun when you get to play all day.” The Jazz Orchestra has recorded two cDs in recent years, 2008’s caravan of cool and 2006’s Legacy, which also featured the Jazz ensemble. Ishii said most of the 18-member ensemble had never been in a recording studio. Jazz studies sophomore

Brenner Schmitt had recorded before in high school but was grateful for more experience. “everybody’s a lot more nitpicky and tedious,” the trumpet player said. “There’s more musicians, so more people have to line up with each other.” The studio is run by alumnus Keith Rust, who graduated in 1980. Orchestra members prepared for the recording sessions by practicing the material, so they wouldn’t have to rerecord it.

“I practiced with a metronome at home a lot,” jazz studies senior Seth Holobaugh said. “You have to prepare yourself mentally to stay focused.” The orchestra performed in one big room, with the drummer and bassist performing at the same time in separate rooms. During the recording process, the orchestra played together through each song several times, with solos recorded separately. Schmitt said it’s hard to stay consistent after running through a song several times. “It takes a toll on your chops,” he said. “You have to pace yourself, focus and look at the big picture.” Ishii and cavanagh will listen to and edit the recordings several times over the summer. The music will then be mastered and pressed into cDs. Ishii said the cDs should be ready about the beginning of fall. Ishii said the orchestra records cDs as a recruitment tool and to teach students about recording and the music industry. “The process is so valuable in teaching students,” he said. “That in itself is an education. We go in there and put some stuff down, and they learn a lot about that side of the music world. It’s very valuable to them as they go out into the world and become professionals themselves. You can’t recreate that in school.” Allen BAldwin features-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Financial aid

Students begin receiving deflated Pell Grant checks 2,500 more will be mailed out this week to expectant students. by Vidwan RaghaVan The Shorthorn staff

When Jonathan Fogg got his financial aid award letter last week, he realized the upcoming year was going to be tough. The communication technology junior is one of about 10,000 students who were sent award letters last week. “My Pell Grant amount was less than half of what I got last year,” Fogg said. “I think I got around $2,400 last year, this time it’s $1,100.” The cut would bite when taken in the context of increasing tuition costs, gas prices and living costs, he said. Karen Krause, Financial Aid and Scholarships, and Veterans Affairs executive director, said the Pell Grant award amount had been reduced this year because of financial uncertainty at the federal and state levels. The award notifications also were delayed because of this. “We’ve taken the conservative tactic, if we get more money we’ll give it to the students,” she said. Krause said students should plan the year ahead under the assumption that Pell Grant aid would be diminished. Should the university receive more funding than it expected, students will automatically get any additional aid they are eligible for, she said. The amount UTA will get from the federal government will not be certain until the federal budget for

who remained uninjured and brought back into the building by the school’s employees, said Tiara Richard, Arlington Police Department media relations coordinator. The employees told police they heard the gunshots, but did not witness the event. Richard said the weapon was recovered at the scene. UTA Police Capt. Jay Tillerson said four university police officers, including himself and the detective working the case, were on the

the next year is finalized. Krause said about 2,500 letters should be sent out this week, in addition to the previous 10,000. The rest of them would be mailed on a weekly basis after that. History junior Chris Roberson said he had not yet received an award letter, and that it was important to him. “It’s vital, I wouldn’t be able to go to school without it,” he said. “I’m fortunate because I also get army benefits, but it will still fairly affect my ability to eat, to pay rent.” To compensate for the loss in grants, Roberson said he would have to get another job in addition to waiting tables. Fogg said he also got financial aid from the Maverick Promise Program this semester, but had to take loans again, which he was trying to avoid. “The problem with taking more loans is that the amount I’ll have to pay back is going to go up and it’s going to mess up my credit rating,” he said. The Maverick Promise Program provides undergraduate students with aid if they meet criteria, such as a minimum grade-point average of 2.0 and family income of less than $65,000. Fogg said cutting funding for the Pell Grant program was wrong, in his opinion. “The Pell Grant is there for people that want to go to college and better themselves to become a better member of society,” he said. “This is like pulling the rug out from beneath you.” Vidwan RaghaVan news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

scene that night. He said Arlington Police is the primary lead agency on the case, but a UTA detective is assisting in the case. Villarreal had been counseling Garcia, but recently stopped and referred him somewhere else, according to an Arlington Police Department press release. The release said there isn’t an indication her relationship with Garcia was anything but professional. Villarreal is the assistant director of counseling services at University College and a Behavioral Intervention Team representative. Police and the university could not

Thousands of Syrian troops raid rebellious city BEIRUT — Thousands of soldiers backed by tanks and snipers moved in before dawn to the city where Syria’s anti-government uprising began, causing panic in the streets when they opened fire indiscriminately on civilians and went houseto-house rounding up suspected protesters. At least 11 people were killed and 14 others lay in the streets — either dead or gravely wounded, witnesses said. The military raids on the southern city of Daraa and at least two other areas suggested Syria is trying to impose military control on the centers of protests against President Bashar Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for four decades.

Architecture graduate student Benoit Lecomte plans to swim across the Pacific Ocean in spring of 2012 in order to raise money for various charities. In 1998, Lecomte swam the Atlantic Ocean in 73 days.

Student gets sponsors for record swim Bangtangalang clothing will sponsor Benoit Lecomte’s 73-day effort. by KeVin cRouch The Shorthorn staff

The architecture graduate student who plans to swim across the Pacific Ocean has launched a website and signed sponsors to help spread the word about his project. Benoit Lecomte plans to start swimming in April of next year to raise awareness and money for cancer research. Along with the support of sponsors, his team has also launched a website, www.TheLongestSwim.com, an interactive page that includes biographical information, project details and other features. He said the sponsors help him spread the news about his swim and appeal to larger corporate sponsors and donors for cancer research charities. Bangtangalang, a clothing brand, has agreed to sponsor Lecomte’s swim. Bangtangalang owner, Dino Jack, said he is glad to support the effort motivated by the loss of Lecomte’s mother to pancrecomment on how long she had been counseling him or where he was referred. Villareal provides individual and group counseling for students with issues like depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship issues, according to the University College counseling webpage. Garcia worked at the Science and Engineering Library from June 21 to Feb. 27. He did not return to work after Feb. 27. Sullivan could not say why he left. On Feb. 28, UTA Police responded to a report at Health Services of Garcia being emotionally disturbed with suicidal thoughts, ac-

atic cancer in 2006. He said he has known Lecomte for six years, and believes he can make it across the Pacific Ocean. “I know he can make the swim,” Jack said. “I’m very confident in it.” Jack said he is working on improving the marketing strategy of Lecomte’s team, using connections and contacts to reach bigger financial sponsors. He said he also plans to provide clothing and towels for the team, which will include the official team logo. Business graduate student Gurtej Bains, who is helping to market the project, said the team has designed T-shirts and wristbands, along with other merchandise. He said they are hoping to sell the merchandise of larger sportswear corporations. “The money from the merchandise will be used as sponsorship money,” he said. Lecomte said a 24-hour video feed on the website will follow his progress through the Pacific, and a tracking map will show where he is relative to the finish line each day. He said the team is still in

the stage of working hard to spread the word, and the website will help inform people about how he plans to swim more than 5,000 miles from Japan to California. “We’re still getting the word out since the website went up a few days ago,” he said. Though spreading the word is the current focus of his efforts, Lecomte said his wife still does not know about the trek, despite announcing it in February. When they appeared on Oprah in Spring 2001, Lecomte mentioned that he wanted to swim across the Pacific. She said on the show she accepts that swimming is a part of who he is. Lecomte said he is keeping it from her to avoid pressure from her concerns, which might distract from his focus as he continues to prepare. He said he does not feel she will disapprove of the trip, but will worry for his safety. “Hiding this from my wife is not the same as having a mistress or something,” he said.

cording to police reports. After determining that he was in danger of his own personal safety, police had Garcia transported to John Peter Smith Hospital’s mental health facility. Deputy medical examiner Shiping Bao was still working on the autopsies for McIntosh and Garcia, and wasn’t be able to answer questions about specifics of the case as of 2 p.m. Monday, said Linda Anderson, Tarrant County Medical Examiner public information officer. Garcia died at the scene at 5:44 p.m. by his own gunshot wound to the head, according to the Tarrant Coun-

ty Medical Examiner report. McIntosh was taken to Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital by ambulance and pronounced dead at 6:06 p.m. with multiple gunshot wounds, according to the report. Sullivan said counseling services are available to any and all faculty and students who may need it. She said students who want to see a counselor can go to University College. Faculty and staff can receive assistance through the Employee Assistance Program.

Judge orders end to NFL lockout, league to appeal MINNEAPOLIS — Seven weeks into the NFL lockout, players have an early triumph over the owners in court.

Possum Kingdom Lake fires closer to being put out FORT WORTH — The Texas Forest Service on Monday reported the Possum Kingdom Lake wildfires, which scorched nearly 127,000 acres, are nearly 70 percent contained. At least 167 homes and two churches were destroyed by this month’s wildfires in the recreational area located 70 miles west of Fort Worth. Meanwhile, the agency reported 75 to 80 percent containment on the West Texas Trans-Pecos Complex north and west of San Angelo, where forecasters had been worried that dry, windy weather would create ideal conditions for wildfires on Tuesday.

A: If you’ve been inserting sex toys into your vagina, then your hymen probably already has been broken, but that would have nothing to do with your pleasure, in any case, as the seat of that is your clitoris. Your “problem” probably has to do with the fact that you need a partner in order to climax. I put “problem” in quotes because it’s not really a problem, especially since you have a partner. You could, perhaps, learn to masturbate on your own, but it’s not vital that you do, as long as you do climax with your partner.

Instructions:

6 4 2 1 3 5 8 7 9

A: First of all, stop blaming yourself, and believe him when he says he’s always had this problem. Even bringing up your past partners makes no sense, because that only proves that the problem lays within him. Second, if an aspect of his problem has always been a fear of getting a woman pregnant, then the fact that you’re trying now actually may be exacerbating the situation. He might not even be aware of it, as it might be a subconscious fear, and he may really want to have a baby on a conscious level. I would suggest that he see a sex therapist, as this is too complicated for me to fix in writing. But I do think a remedy can be found, so he really should make the effort.

a hand job. He does sometimes reach orgasm during vaginal intercourse, but very rarely. He says this has been the case his entire life, but I can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with me. I’ve never seen this in past partners, and we’re trying to have a baby, which makes it quite difficult when most of his semen ends up on my palm. Any suggestions?

Q: I’m a 22-year-old lesbian virgin. I was wondering, do I have to break my own hymen in order to feel anything down there? I’ve tried using a toy, and I felt absolutely nothing. When my girlfriend is away, I want to be able to please myself whenever I’m in that mood. I don’t see myself having sex with men, so I’m a little bit lost. How can other women feel that excitement and I can’t?
