The annual Golf Cart Parade thrived with creativity Wednes-day for the third year in a row.

“Just look at that,” said Seth Ressl, Greek Life and University Events director, pointing to Beta Theta Pi fraternity’s golf cart in which members dressed as su-perheroes.

The event was part of Home-coming week and included a pa-rade of 35 organizations’ golf carts, a pep rally and a can-non firing. Organizations threw candy and flyers to get bystand-ers’ attention.

The parade is a growing tra-dition, said Eric Johnson Resi-dence Hall events manager.

“This is the biggest one I’ve seen,” he said. “They’re becoming more imaginative and creative.”

The line of carts started in Lot 40 and ended on the Central Library mall. UTA Cheer mem-ber Haley Cole said the event was better than last year, which ended in front of Texas Hall. The undeclared sophomore said that because of the location, more

people knew about it.“It’s right here in the middle

of everyone’s classes,” she said. “There were more people cheer-ing with us.”

Communication senior Dan Cruz said he wishes the organiza-tions would just hand out candy instead of throwing it.

“There’s some kind of psycho-logical block about picking candy up off the ground,” he said. “I just can’t do it.”

Trinity Hall Council themed its cart with The Lonely Island’s song “I’m on a Boat” that includ-ed a golf cart decorated like a

More than 1,500 current stu-dents and alumni looking for in-ternships or a change of career path attended the Spring 2010 Job Fair on Wednesday in the Maver-ick Activities Center.

Career Ser-vices hosted over 100 em-ployers — in-cluding 24 Hour Fitness, Farmers Insur-ance, Geico, the Internal Rev-enue Service and the U.S. Secret Service — who talked to stu-dents and gave them informa-tion about their organization.

“Every opportunity to shake

someone’s hand and not fill out applications online is gold for me,” alumna Caryle-Anne Towner said.

Towner graduated from UTA with a Bachelor of Arts in communications and public relations. Within the past two months, Towner said she has filled out 100 to 200 appli-

cations, and out of those, she has only been to three interviews.

“I wish I would have gone to more career fairs before I grad-uated,” she said.

career booths were handing out pens, pencils, bags, key chains and candy, Mouser Electronics had a table full of back-scratch-

UTA Police posted a bulletin Wednesday warning students of eight motor vehicle burglaries that occurred on campus.

Along with the bulletin posted in MavMail, police will also pub-lish preventative tips in Tuesday’s TrailBlazer, university spokesper-son Kristin Sullivan said.

“It’s definitely something we want the university to be aware of,” she said.

Five GPS units were reported stolen from cars on Feb. 9, and three more on Feb. 16. The sus-pects broke the cars’ windows and removed the GPS units, leaving other valuable items in the ve-hicles.

Police are remaining vigilant in terms of future thefts but are not close to making any arrests, said Assistant Police Chief Rick

BY CLINT UTLEYThe Shorthorn sports editor

Senior guard Marquez Haynes made UTA basketball history in the Mavericks’ 75-71 win over Lamar on Wednesday night in Texas Hall.

Haynes scored 21 points and broke the UTA single season scor-ing record to lead the Mavs (16-10, 8-5 Southland Conference) over the Cardinals.

Three other Mavericks, senior forward Tommy Moffitt, senior

guard Brandon Long and sopho-more guard LaMarcus Reed III, scored in double figures. Moffitt and Long each scored 16 and Reed had 10.

The first half didn’t look too promising for the Mavs or Haynes. UTA was held to 36 percent shoot-ing from the floor and Haynes reg-istered only one point in the first 20 minutes.

TUESDAY

Criminal Mischief or VandalismOfficers investigated at 10:10 a.m. a report of graffiti in the northwest

stairwell at Pickard Hall on 411 Ned-derman Drive. The case is active.

boat and a pool toy dolphin in the golf cart’s back. Bio-chemistry freshman Ana Pina said the council want-ed to be in the parade to show that they’re involved.

“We wanted to show that we have fun and that we’re cool because we’re on a boat,” she said.

The Staff Advisory Council used a sustainable electric golf cart to support the university’s initiative to “go green.”

EXCEL Campus Activi-ties’ goal for the parade

was bringing more atten-tion to their group, said EXCEL Vice President Sondra Showels. Their golf cart had Superman sym-bols, but instead of an ‘S’, they had an ‘E’.

“Our theme is ‘saving students from boredom, one event at a time’,” the nursing junior said.

English sophomore Austin Mills said he thinks he came into the wrong part of the parade, because it was more eventful at the end.

“It was less than stel-lar,” he said. “We were in front of the UC and all they were doing was just shoot-ing candy.”

Allan Saxe, political sci-ence associate professor, emceed the past two years, but wasn’t able to this year because he was donating blood.

“I would have by far been the best announcer,” he said. “The rest would have been boring.”

Ressl said the carts allow organizations to show their character to the campus.

“It’s something they can put their stamp on,” he said. “It’s something to be enthusiastic about.”

HOMECOMING 2010This is one of several stories

covering the weeklong celebration.

Thirty-seven plays in 108 minutes may sound impos-sible. But that is just what The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged accom-plishes.

From Hamlet to The Tem-pest, the Homecoming week performance will showcase all of Shakespeare’s plays. The comedic show will take place at 8 p.m. Thursday, 11 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday in the Rosebud Theatre.

Original-ly written by the Reduced Shakespeare C o m p a n y, The Com-plete Works of William Shakespeare A b r i d g e d incorporates improvisa-tion and spontaneity, and turns old-school iambic pen-tameter into a modern-day parody. Com-munication adjunct lecturer Melanie Mason is working with the Alumni Association to put on the performance.

“The entire play is put on by three male actors,” Mason said. “All the actors are UTA alumni.”

The play Americanizes Shakespeare’s message using football, purposely bad Scottish accents and rap to entertain audiences of all ages. The ac-tors will use props and wigs to portray the alternative versions of Shakespeare’s work.

Theatre Arts Associate Pro-fessor Joe Chapa and alumni Steven Morris and Anthony Bowling will star in the play.

“It is a wonderfully fun per-formance,” Mason said.

Mary Vaccaro gave about 80 people an inside look at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while showing slides of famous 16th century artworks such as Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Sup-per.”

The event was held Wednes-day in the Central Library and was the last Focus on Faculty for the year. Focus on Faculty is a speaker series that primarily features faculty doing award-winning research.

The art and art history as-sociate professor spoke about how artists worked in the 16th century and showed slides of famous museums and art around the world. She focused on how drawings were used and exchanged in Renaissance art.

Vaccaro was highlighted for receiving the Outstanding Re-search Achievement or Creative Accomplishment Award from the President’s Convo-cation for Academic Excellence in 2009.

Vaccaro teaches a drawing class on campus and primar-ily studies Italian artists.

She has lectured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as museums in Italy, England, France and Japan.

She said she looked at works of art in mu-seums and sometimes deter-mined which artist did unat-tributed paintings by looking at the style of artist’s work.

“The award was a great honor, it looks at faculty across the university so it was a pretty big deal,” Vaccaro said.

Tommie Wingfield, assis-

tant to the Library dean for marketing and external rela-tions, invited Vaccaro to speak,

set up and publicized the event.

She said Vaccaro was the only profes-sor from the Col-lege of Liberal Arts to speak this year and she tries to have representation from all the colleges on campus for Focus on Faculty each year.

Vaccaro showed photos from the store room in the Metropolitan Mu-seum of Art, where

she was allowed to research art-ists’ work.

“She made a well-prepared presentation,” Wingfield said. “I thought it was interesting to know she handled Michelan-gelo’s drawings.”

The application deadline to become a Peer Academic Leader for the fall 2010 se-mester is March 5.

PALs, students who work with freshman interest groups, are groups of fresh-men students with similar majors. Members of these groups are located together in campus housing to pro-vide support and academic assistance to each other. Each group has a PAL who lives close to the students, usually in the same hall.

The College of Science has created two new freshman interest groups that are more specific to fields of scientific study in psychology, biology/health profession majors. Bi-ology and psychology are the two largest departments in the College of Science.

Lori Norris, science spe-cial programs coordinator, said students who partici-pated in the program showed improved retention of mate-rial from the fall to spring se-mester and performed better in classes.

“The FIGs are another way to support our students,” Norris said. “Based on talk-ing with students who have participated in the science FIG, it has been beneficial to not only grades, but also in adapting to college life.”

She added that there’s a huge disconnect between high school and college, in both the workload and the level of personal responsibil-ity, and that the freshman interest group program helps freshmen survive their first year.

Biochemistry sophomore Rebecca Denney was in the science freshman interest group and has applied to be a PAL for the fall.

She said that being in a

freshman interest group helped greatly.

“We were all in the same biology class, so we had study groups together,” she said. “Everyone in my FIG became like family.”

Denney said she has high hopes for next semester, both for herself as a PAL and for the new students in her freshman interest group.

“I hope they get to know and depend on each other and become like a family the way I did with my group,” she said.

The College of Science freshman interest group was originally for students inter-ested in teaching math and science. Matthew Hendricks, Student Success Programs associate director, said that this was in order to help students apply for a scholar-ship provided by government grants.

The scholarship was set up to stimulate interest in teaching degrees in those fields but wouldn’t be avail-able until the students’ junior year. Students still received academic support for sci-ence if they didn’t go into the teaching program, but not the scholarship.

“Now, we’re better able to tailor the program and semi-nar course to provide as per-sonalized of a program as we can for each student,” Hen-dricks said.

There are 13 spots avail-able for the fall semester – two in science, eight in engi-neering and three in nursing, he said.

Qualifications for PALs include a history of academ-ic success, a 2.5 cumulative GPA, recommendations from professors and an interest in teaching as discovered through the two-day inter-view process in which ap-plicants will participate in various activities under ob-servation.

Gomez. Students need to be aware of the issues and help police prevent crime, he said.

“We wanted to issue a warning in crime awareness to the public because this is not just a UTA problem,” he said.

The FBI published a re-port stating GPS unit thefts increased from 3,700 to 24,700 from 2006 to 2008. This is due to the sudden popularity of the devices, said James Hawthorne, Arlington Police Department Deputy Chief.

“GPS are a fairly new phenomena,” he said. “There weren’t that many thefts sev-eral years ago because peo-ple didn’t have them. Now they’re more popular and people leave them in plain view.”

Laptops, purses, cell phones and GPS units are very tempting for would-be criminals walking by a ve-hicle, he said.

The crime awareness bul-letin and TrailBlazer preven-tion tips have not been avail-able until Wednesday due to the nature of the crimes, Sul-livan said.

“We get the bulletin out as soon as possible when it’s a violent crime,” she said. “The crime awareness bulletin is coming out now because there’s not an immediate threat to a person.”

Most of the devices stolen were windshield-mounted and had not been hidden by the owners of the vehicle. The visibility of GPS units increases the opportunity for thieves to break into a car. The only way to reduce crimes is to reduce the oppor-tunity for crimes to happen, Hawthorne said.

“Your momma used to say, ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,’” he said. “Practice prevention, and it takes away the need for the call.”

Members of the National Architectural Accrediting Board left the university on Thursday afternoon after pre-senting the preliminary reac-creditation report to the School of Architecture students, fac-ulty and staff.

Team chair Frank Guillot read the report his five-team members prepared and said the report will be edited and re-viewed back and forth between him and the school over the next several months. He will present his report to the NAAB.

“The final determination will be made in July, and then the school will be notified im-mediately,” Guillot said.

Guillot said the report stated that the school met several ex-pectations, such as a diverse student body, outstanding fac-ulty research, sustainability and meeting weekly office hours.

The school did not meet a few conditions such as program preparation, professional devel-opment and curriculum course details.

Guillot said Architecture Dean Donald Gatzke and Ar-chitecture Program Director Bijan Youssefzadeh are great assets for the school.

“The overall tone of our visit was exceptional and reward-ing,” Guillot said. “We’d like to give the deepest appreciation to the students who shared their concerns with the entire team for the commitment to follow their education and they desire to become a good citizen of the architecture community.”

Architecture senior Marisol Hoyt attended the meeting for the first time and learned about the reaccreditation process.

“Reaccreditation means a lot for me,” Hoyt said. “I am

planning to study at UTA be-cause the school has divisive programs.”

Guillot said the team found the students highly diverse, en-thusiastic, motivated, talented and engaged.

Architecture sophomore Christopher Laskoski said he loved the team’s presentation.

“I am looking forward to seeing more diversity as profes-sional point of view,” Laskoski said. “The school is in good standing and I hope the school will be reaccredited.”

Gatzke said he was very pleased by the findings of the team.

“They reinforced what we think are the key issues for a design school to focus on, and the areas of concern are really very easy to address,” he said. “The success of this visit is what happens when everybody — faculty, students, staff and ad-ministration — do their jobs in the very best way they can. It’s truly a complete team effort.”

Gatzke said the team re-marked on the diversity of the school and the range of ideas, teaching strategies and content of the curriculum.

“The team’s comments indi-cated that the school continues to make progress at a rapid pace,” he said.

NAAB team member Jo-seph Mashburn said the school has a great long history.

“You are blessed to be here,” Mashburn said. “I encourage all students to take advantage of the faculty.”

David Shove-Brown, an-other NAAB team member, en-couraged students by working hard until they reached their goal.

“You need to keep working and doing great things,” Brown said. “Feel confident you have done the work. Be familiar with your strength.”

The UTA 2010 Job Fair features over 50 companies looking for prospective employees, interns and possible careers for students.

ers to give to interested stu-dents.

“It’s popular, and what we’re known for,” said Che-rie Ayala, Mouser Elec-tronics human resources spokeswoman. “It’s some-thing different that gets our name out there.”

Criminal justice senior Kim Stovall said she at-tended the job fair because she was looking for a career change. She looks to find a government job or possibly pursuing teaching certifica-tion.

“Everyone should attend job fairs,” she said. “With this economy, additional networking is needed, espe-cially for upcoming gradu-ates.”

The job fair gave stu-dents and alumni the op-portunity to see different jobs that they may have

never even thought about before, Towner said.

Mouser Electronics re-cruiter Teresa Lewis said there was a nice variety of employers.

“The last one was too focused on engineer and ac-counting careers,” she said. “This one had a good mix of marketing, accounting, economics, sales and infor-mation technology.”

One thing that could possibly reap more turnout at future careers fairs would be include more commu-nications and public rela-tions related employers for people working toward a liberal arts degree, Towner said.

“I think a job fair is very important because it shows the university is trying to help students out to get jobs,” accounting junior Luke Neitzel said.

DR. RUTHQ: I’ve been on birth-control pills since I was 16 (that’s sev-en years) due to pains caused by endometriosis. I’ve been told to stay on it until I choose to get preg-nant. I know birth-control pills lower one’s sex drive. While mine is decent, I want to experience a natu-ral, unsedated drive. Any suggestions?

A: Birth-control pills may reduce the li-bido of some women, but that’s not true for every woman. And sometimes changing to a different pill, with a different dosage of hormones, can alle-viate the situation. Of course, since you have a medical issue and the pills are preventing you from experiencing pain, there may be nothing that you can do. But since you report that you have a decent sex drive, I would say that you just have to be grateful that the pills are preventing you from experi-encing pain, and that the trade-off is, in the end, a positive one.

Q: Why does it seem that our unmarried friends are more interested in sex than our married friends?

A: The key word in your question is “seem.” Married couples may have sex regularly, but they don’t make a big deal about it because they live together and when the desire arises, they just do it with-out any fuss. Single people need to find a partner, and so their need for sex is on their minds more, and their interest in sex is more appar-

ent. Also, if single people see someone whom they think is “hot,” they can openly ex-press themselves because they are available. A married person in that same situation should hold him- or herself back from showing too much interest, particularly if that person is someone who is a friend of his or her spouse.

Reed’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer capped a 7-0 Maver-ick run over the final 4:09 of the first half to close Lamar’s lead to 34-28.

Long said head coach Scott Cross didn’t say much to the team at halftime.

“Actually he didn’t say noth-ing at halftime,” Long said. “That’s what did it. He didn’t go over any plays. He just told us to sit down, close our eyes and visualize how we wanted to play in the second half and what we could do better. And it worked.”

The Mavs went on a 17-2 run to open the second half. Haynes had two dunks in the opening minute of the second half to spark the run. UTA shot 62 percent from the floor in the second half.

The scoring record fell at the 8:09 mark of the second half. Haynes knifed through the lane and scored on a layup to give him his 16th point of the night – good enough for 600 on the season and one more than Nor-ton’s record from the ’83-’84 season.

Haynes said he wasn’t even thinking about the record dur-ing the game.

“I thought about it before the game,” he said. “I just played so bad in the first half and I knew that the difference in the game was my play. We were down six, [at halftime] and if I play like I’m capable of playing, we’re winning.”

Haynes said he needed to have a bigger impact in the sec-ond half.

“That’s all I was concentrat-ing on - stepping up as a senior and coming back and winning this game,” he said.

UTA led by as many as 14

points and held Lamar to 37 percent shooting from the floor in the second half. Cross cred-ited the Mavs’ second-half turn-around to Moffitt’s halftime speech in the locker room.

Cross praised Haynes’ night and career after the game.

“He is the most deserving guy of every honor because of how hard he works, how coachable he his,” Cross said. “He struggled as bad as he’s ever struggled in that first half, but most players just fold and they’re done. That’s why he’s so special. He came out and he was relentless.”

Aside from Cross, another local head coach was at the game, Wade Phillips of the Dallas Cowboys. Phillips said Haynes is a tremendous athlete.

“I’d heard a lot about him, but in the first half, I thought ‘Wow, I’m not sure,’” Phillips said. “Then all of the sudden, that second half, he just ex-ploded.”

Mavericks lose rematch against Lamar, 79-73

Three Mavericks finished in double figures for the women’s basketball team, but Lamar’s late run on Wednesday night in Beau-mont, Texas defeated the Maver-icks, 79-73, after being down most of the second half.

After being up 66-56 with 4:28 left in the game, Lamar (21-6, 11-2 Southland Conference) went on a 17-2 run to take a 73-69 lead with 23 seconds left to escape with a victory. The run overshadowed the Mavericks (12-14, 7-6 SLC), who shot 46.8 percent from the field.

Junior guard Tamara Sim-mons, who led all Mavericks with 23 points, had a chance to tie the game with a 3-pointer with a min-ute left, but missed.

Lamar’s junior forward Jenna Plumley finished with 30 points.

Senior guard Meghan Nelson finished with 21 points, but only had five points in the second half.

Junior forward Shalyn Martin was one rebound away from her ninth double-double of the sea-son. She finished with 16 points.

Lamar started off the game with a 13-5 run. The Mavericks went on a run 14-2 run to take a 19-15 lead with 10:14 left in the first half. The Mavericks were able take a 40-37 lead in to halftime.

The difference in this game was Lamar’s bench, which had 26 points compared to the Maver-icks’ 11.

Head coach Samantha Mor-row said her team has to chal-lenge themselves in order to finish out the season strong.

“We know how good we can play, and we know how bad we can play,” Morrow said. “I like the good team that shows up and wears our uniforms. I don’t like that team that steals our uniform and comes out and doesn’t have emotion and is more worried about offense rather that de-fense.”

Phillips is from Beaumont and has been seen at several Lamar basketball games. Phillips’ wife graduated from Lamar and his wife’s first cousin is Lamar men’s basketball head coach, Steve Roccaforte. Phillips said he still pulls for the hometown team and was glad to see UTA win.
