The only thing certain about the Oct. 27 student debate is the room reservation and time, said University Democrats president Gabe Rivas. UD wants to debate about the presidential candidates while the Young Conservatives of Texas want to focus on major issues without supporting a candidate.

Bulking Up the Zombie Fodder

Contestants use computers to solve problems in IBM-sponsored challenge by bryaN bastible The Shorthorn staff

University students will go head-tohead today against others from across the state for a chance to advance in an international programming contest. The IBM-sponsored association for Computing Machinery International Collegiate Programming Contest will be held in Waco, one of four sites for the Southwest Central Region, where competitors will try to answer 10 questions in five hours. “They are more like word problems that require a computer to solve,” said Kevin Delarosa, physics and computer science senior and third year competitor. “Basically, you have a team of three people working on one computer — that’s one of the constraints — for five hours knocking out 8-10 of these questions.” The university has three teams of three, each with an alternate member.

Delarosa said the teams have practiced since the semester’s second week and some began this summer. Second-year competitor Fahrim Rahman, a computer science senior, said only the top team in the region is guaranteed to move on, but in some cases, runners-up advance. He said the university’s best finish he can remember in the past couple of years is fourth place. “I think we’ve always had someone in the top quarter, but usually our goal is to get someone to the top ten, top five and eventually to win this thing,” he said. Rahman said he competes for fun and it looks good on a résumé. “It keeps me fresh on all of these concepts that in regular class activities you don’t get to use,” he said. Other universities competing include UT-Dallas, University of North Texas and UT-austin. The regional winner gets a free trip

to the Stockholm, Sweden, international competition in april to face teams from all over the world. The winning programmers in Sweden will get prizes like scholarships and laptops. Vassilis athitsos, computer science and engineering assistant professor, will coach the team for the first time, and this is his first competition. athitsos said the computer programming competition is more fun than just learning from a textbook. The contest gives competitors the focus needed to gain essential skills for success, said Doug Heintzman, ICPC sponsorship executive and IBM’s software group strategy director. “It is a growth experience,” he said. “If they make it to internationals, they get to meet like-minded students from all over the world.” bryaN bastible news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

Group to begin collecting shoes at the Central Library For the next two weeks starting Monday, five architecture students will collect new and gently used shoes to donate. Architecture seniors Ben Schepps, Austin Fleming, Albert Hanna, Michael Hathaway and Matt Perez, are collecting the shoes for a school project. Shepps said the project revolves around the process of “downcycling,” which refers to how material cannot always be recycled into the same product of the same quality. Shoes, for example, are difficult to recycle because they first must be cut into pieces to separate the different kinds of plastics then downcycled to a lower quality plastic, he said. The group will collect shoes at the University Center, Central Library and Maverick Activities Center and donate them to the Shoe Bank in Fort Worth, he said. “The purpose for doing the project is to make people aware of the fact that with shoes, just like any other product with synthetic material, the process of trying to reclaim that material would be considered downcycling,” he said. — Sarah Lutz

Resume critiquing available on Tuesday and Wednesday Students uncertain about the strength, structure or overall presentation of their résumés can get help with a walk-in critiques from Career Services on Tuesday and Wednesday. The sessions are also open to students who need help putting one together. For those students, employer relations coordinator Debbie Villagomez said she recommends bringing a list of previous jobs, clubs, strengths, experiences and anything else a potential employer may consider valuable so tutors have a starting point to work from. Career Services hosts the critiques noon-1 p.m. Tuesdays on the Central Library second floor, and Wednesdays at the Nedderman Hall Library. Career Services offers free critiques during regular operating hours, but appointments are required. — Mark Bauer

You’ve Got Questions, He’s Got Answers Dean and students offer insight at Science Week’s forum By Bryan BastiBle The Shorthorn staff

Broadcast seniors James Miller and Priscilla Esparza get ready to welcome back the audience after the break during a newscast on Sept. 15 at the Fine Arts Building. Television Reporting I and II students will debut their first newscast on iTexas Campus Reports at 8 tonight in a new segment on channel TXA 21.

a younger group, and it’s a chance for those students to get their material heard on the fifth largest television market in the nation,” Best said. TXA 21 selects a short news clip from a different campus each week and devotes each day to a different school. The professors look at the newscasts and select the best of the week. Stories are then sent to TXA 21.

Television broadcast senior Hope Ekuy said the news stories are either timely or random. They can be funny, like “man on the street” reports, or real news. She said she hopes the project and the relationship with TXA 21 continues. “Hopefully this will put the university back on top, help students to network, get their foot in the door and utilize what they have learned,” Ekuy said. Rodriguez said the television program is growing and that students, along

with communication assistant professor Andrew Clark, have put in much of energy and time. “This is a way of providing students with new tools and skills they can carry with them to their future jobs,” Rodriguez said. Although the television department’s video newscast will debut tonight, the normal schedule time will be Wednesday nights. micHelle leverett news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

that they have about tuition, fees, classes, research, anything that deals with the College of Science,” he said. Braulio Cruz, SCC public relations officer, said that while science students will benefit the most from the Dean’s Forum and Science Week, all students can attend. “Science students should definitely go to the Dean’s Forum because it is a chance to meet the person who literally runs their college,” he said. “Here they will get a chance to network with a Dean, which may result in possible recommendations in the future.” Research assistant profes-

sor Stephen Mathew, from the University of North Texas Health Science Center, will talk about HIV research at the guest speaker’s forum Monday. Cruz said “spirit points” are given to groups who participate and show enthusiasm for the events. At the end of the week, whichever group has the most spirit and participation points wins the Science Cup. “Science Week has been very successful in the past, and I hope it will be successful this year as well,” Cruz said.

Committee co-chair Jeff Howard said hiring a sustainability coordinator at UTA will dramatically change the nature of the program. “The staff is constrained. Almost everybody that’s working on this has many other tasks they’re responsible for doing,” he said. “Clearly, financial restraints are very real for us ... we’re trying to find funds here and there to try and do some of the stuff we want to do.” Howard said UTA has not been able to sign the Presidents Climate Commitment because the UT System will not allow the school to make a budget commitment right now. Many programs outlined in UTA’s Curriculum, Research and Community Engagement White Paper, a document proposing policy initiatives, are already offered by TCU. TCU offers an environmental science master’s degree and a new program, the Institute for Environmental Studies. An e nv i r on me ntal science master’s degree and an undergraduate degree program in environmental studies were suggested in UTA’s white paper. An undergraduate degree in environmental science is in the works, said Jim Grover, Curriculum, Research and Community

Engagement work group chair. Grover said there are many environmental studies programs at other universities involving some mixture of natural, social and political science and courses directly focused on environmental policy. “What we are suggesting is that there’s another track that we could take, perhaps in addition to that, where there would be a focus on environmental humanities, strongly on the cultural aspects of sustainability and the environment,” he said. Another issue separating the universities is transportation. Whitworth said TCU provides bus passes to students, faculty and staff that allow them to use the Fort Worth train and the bus system for free. Arlington does not have public transportation. Whitworth said TCU’s Purple Bike Program, which issues students free bikes for the semester, has been highly successful. The bike program has a fleet of 50 bikes and students use them to commute from home or across campus, Whitworth said. “I ordered 20 more this week. We usually have 150 on the waiting list,” he said. Jeff Johnson, Facilities Management associate director, said he is trying to start a bike program here but has not heard feedback from bike riders.

“Hopefully this will put the university back on top, help students to network, get their foot in the door and utilize what they have learned.”

Next week, science students will get a chance to quiz their dean. The Science Constituency Council will host Science Week, including a forum where students can ask College of Science dean Paul Paulus questions about their college experience and suggest ways the College of Science can improve. The meeting takes place at noon Wednesday at 119 Life Science Building. “Each time, I try to make them feel more comfortable because they aren’t used to talking to deans,” he said. “It’s nice for me to see them and see what’s on their minds.” Natalia Vargas, SCC public relations officer, said students can use the forum to express their thoughts about the College of Science. “It is the only time that science students will actually get to sit down and express their opinions in a time that will be reserved just for that event,” she said. SCC vice president Darius Bonds said he expects high attendance. “They can ask any question

Houston spending less amid economic woes

Obama extends campaign into Republican states

HOUSTON — Houston plans to push back some projects, tap into cash reserves and not borrow as much money through bonds because of the country’s economic meltdown, city leaders announced Thursday. But Mayor Bill White reassured residents that Houston — the state’s largest city and the fourth-largest in the country — is not experiencing a financial crisis of its own and said no services will be cut back. “The city is in good financial shape,” he said.

World markets slump after grim US news LONDON — World stock markets underwent a fresh round of bloodletting Thursday, unable to find relief in a late-session rally on Wall Street. The trading day began with steep losses in Asia, where Japanese shares shed more than 11 percent in their biggest single-day drop since the 1987 stock market crash. European markets also posted big declines, while Latin American shares gave back more ground, although the selling there was less intense than earlier in the week. — The Associated Press

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., center, waves as he arrives at a community event in Londonderry, N.H., Thursday.

WASHINGTON — Democrat Barack Obama extended his front-running campaign into West Virginia, a bastion of white, middle-class voters who rejected his primary season appeals, and confidently broached the subject of victory in a presidential contest playing out on Republican turf. GOP rival John McCain found himself looking for a break as he was largely forced to defend his standing in states that President Bush won four years ago. “We are now 19 days not from the end but from the beginning,” Obama told the crowd at a New York fundraiser a day after the final presidential debate. He noted the “extraordinary” work ahead for the next president. Still, the Democrat warned against getting “giddy or cocky,” reminding supporters with two words: “New Hampshire.” “You know, I’ve been in these positions before where we were favored and the press starts getting carried away and we end up getting spanked,” he said. Obama won the Iowa caucuses,

only to lose the New Hampshire primary to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. “We want to make sure that we are closing strong, running through the tape.” An energized McCain told voters, “Choose well. There’s much at stake,” as he campaigned in Pennsylvania, one of a dwindling number of Democratic-leaning states that the Arizona senator still hopes to put in the GOP column. McCain pushed his likely theme for the final weeks. The Democrat wants to “spread the wealth around” but that “people are not going to let Sen. Obama raise their taxes in a tough economy,” McCain said. And, he tried anew to make the first-term Illinois senator’s resume a liability: “The next president won’t have time to get used to the office. He won’t have the luxury of studying up on the issues before he acts.” Their face-to-face debates are over and both candidates are courting an estimated third of voters who are undecided or could still change their minds. Obama is looking to solidify his advantage in polling in key battlegrounds.

BANGOR, Maine — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, campaigning with an eye on winning at least one of Maine’s electoral votes, criticized Democrat Barack Obama on Thursday for not disavowing a community activist group that registers voters. The group known as ACORN — the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — has drawn condemnation from the Republican ticket as its workers sign up voters in swing states. Nearly a dozen states and the FBI are looking into allegations of voter registration fraud. ACORN officials have denied allegations of concerted, widespread fraud but acknowledge that some of the group’s registration workers might have turned in duplicate applications or falsified information to pad their pay. ACORN says it it has registered 1.3 million young people, minorities, and poor and workingclass voters. “In this election, it’s a choice between a candidate who won’t disavow a group committing voter fraud, and a leader who won’t tolerate voter fraud,” Palin said. In the debate Wednesday night with Republican John McCain, Obama denied any significant ties to ACORN. Earlier this week, Obama said ACORN was not advising his campaign and that registration problems shouldn’t be used as an excuse to keep people from turning out. Palin stuck to familiar themes of limited government, lower taxes and gun rights and listed energy and government reform among her top priorities. She said the people of Maine know that taxes — the state has some of the nation’s highest — are not the way to “grow the economy.” Her visit came as the Republican National Committee has decided to stop running presidential ads in Maine to focus on usually Republican states where McCain shows signs of faltering. McCain is still running ads in the state. Palin also made reference to a remark early in the campaign by Obama’s wife, Michelle, who had said that “for the first time

in my adult life I am proud of my country.” The governor’s comments came after country music star Lee Greenwood sang the “The Star Spangled Banner” and “God Bless the USA.” “We believe also that there is a reason we all get teared-up when we hear Lee Greenwood sing about America, because we love America and we are always proud of being Americans,” she said. “And we don’t apologize for being Americans.” Maine and Nebraska are the only two states that allocate electoral votes in part by congressional district. Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, with its lakes and forests, is popular for fishing, hunting and snowmobiling, pursuits shared by the Alaska governor herself. “I feel like I’m at home,” Palin told about 6,000 people in a hangar at the Bangor International

Airport. “I see the Carhartts and the steel-toed boots ... and the NRA hats,” she said, referring to the work clothes brand and the National Rifle Association. In a close race, Republicans can’t afford to write off a single electoral vote, and they hope that a strong showing in the 2nd District will help them sweep the entire state, where unenrolled or “independent” voters comprise the largest bloc of voters. Maine last voted for a Republican for president in 1988, when Kennebunkport summer resident George H.W. Bush won the state. And political scientists say that’s unlikely to change, even if McCain and Palin manage to carry the 2nd District. Democrats have more than 30 offices set up across the state to promote Obama’s presidential bid and other candidates, according to campaign officials.

teams look to gain momentum heading into conference meet By Ben haUSS Contributor to The Shorthorn

Looking to bounce back from a disappointing showing, the men’s and women’s cross country teams travel to Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend for the Chile pepper Festival. the festival is a national-caliber meet that many top-20 schools attend every year. Head coach John sauerhage said this would be a good time for his runners to learn more about themselves during competition before the Nov. 3 conference championships. the Mavericks’ last meet was the Cowboy Jamboree in stillwater, okla. there, the men finished 16th out of 23, with senior Idilio Campos leading the way, finishing 35th out of 244 runners. three other men’s runners finished in the top 100: sophomore Zach Zura finished 77th, senior ozie Hood, 85th and sophomore Heinz schwarzkoph, 90th. Campos’ consistent performance has sauerhage and the team hoping the senior can provide leadership to the team. “Idilio has been amazing for us,” Hood said. “Hopefully I can get into a groove this weekend.” the men run a 10-kilometer race this weekend, the only time they will run that length outside of the NCAA championships in November.

Freshman Jennifer Claudio runs during the UNT Season Opener in September in Denton. Both the men’s and women’s teams look to bounce back after a poor showing in their last meet this Saturday at the Chile Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Ark.

Women’s tennis at Rice Invitational Time: All day Place: Houston Sunday, Oct. 19 Women’s tennis at Rice Invitational Time: All day Place: Houston

sauerhage expects his three men’s-team seniors – Campos, Hood and Ivan pinal – to step up and try for a top-10 finish for themselves and the team. the women finished 15th out of 25 at the Cowboy Jamboree, with senior Caroline Erlingson leading the women in 63rd place. they also placed three other runners in the top 100 — sophomore Amanda McMahon finished 76th, junior Christina Mose, 79th and sophomore perri Ford, 82nd. Neither team ran well in the oklahoma state meet, sauerhage said. He said the teams were tired, after underestimating how much training they’d done before the meet. Hood said the Cowboy Jamboree also presented the hardest course the teams will face all year, and McMahon said the course added to the team’s troubles. “some of us have been dealing with some injuries, and it was a tough course. We were expecting a 5k but it was a 6k,” she said. the Mavericks will also be racing against some conference opponents this weekend. “Hopefully we beat all the teams in our conference,” McMahon said. “this will be a good pinpoint to see where we are and see how we’ll do in conference.” the races start at 9:45 a.m. saturday.

Mavericks finish 13th in invitational Tuesday

senior outside hitter Ally Wade has waited three years for her opportunity to shine on the stage. Wade is second on the team with total 150 kills and is the team’s active leader in kills with 2.42 per set this season. the shorthorn talked with Wade about sports outside of volleyball, what makes her happy and what she watches on tV.

The golf team wrapped up play at the Squire Creek Invitational on Tuesday, finishing the event in 13th place. Junior Bobby Massa led the way for the Mavericks, rebounding from 45th place the first day to finish the event in 24th. Juniors Bryce Easton and Michael Van deVenter, who finished in 39th and 45th place, respectively, followed Massa. Rounding out the Mavs’ topfive were sophomore Zach Fisher, who finished 62nd, and junior Kevin Varrichio, who finished 77th. The Mavericks’ next event will be at their home course when they host the UTA/Waterchase Invitational at the Waterchase Golf Club in Fort Worth. Play will begin Monday, Oct. 27. — Justin Rains The Shorthorn: Jacob Adkisson

standing silhouette pierced through the darkness and the sound of adoring fans echoed when the figure stepped into the light. pre-nursing freshman Chase Adams sported clothes from Target at the third annual Black Student Association’s Fashion Show and Winter Clothing Drive on Thursday at the University Center Bluebonnet Ballroom. Adams strutted down the runway during his first fashion show. “It’s a lot of excitement to have some fun and see the local fashion

scene and to see what the Metroplex has to offer,” he said. All the clothes from the free show will be donated to Mission Arlington. Featured clothing at the show included pink Brownie, IyenI, house of Alondria, Unkommon Kolor and Traffic Boutique. Marketing senior and BSA president Terry Smith ran to and fro backstage, helping organize the show. “It’s like structured chaos,” he said, “but it has exceeded my expectations.”

Debate continued from page 1

Rivas said an issue-focused debate won’t help educate undecided student voters and doesn’t facilitate a fair exchange, since his group plans to represent Barack Obama. “They have an opponent

to attack, and we don’t,” he said. Rachel Imbriale, YCT UTA chapter executive chair, met with Rivas to discuss the format. She said she wanted the debate to focus only on issues. “We aren’t robots,” she said. “We don’t follow the party or a candidate’s handbook.”

She said YCT wants to argue its convictions, which may not align with McCain’s. Rivas said he has concerns about YCT. “They have a tendency to be a very bombastic organization,” he said. Rivas spoke with College Republicans president Terry Duncan about taking YCT’s

place to back McCain’s platform. “I’d be willing to jump in and represent CR and represent John McCain,” Duncan said. Originally, the debate was to have five panelists on either side. As of Thursday, CR had only six members. Duncan said he doesn’t

know if he can field the five panelists. “It might be best to just scrap the plans,” Duncan said. “We’re trying to feel out something that would be beneficial to everyone.” Duncan said he disagrees with Imbriale’s desire for an issues-only debate. “Maybe if this weren’t an election year, issues would be

best,” he said. Duncan said undecided student voters need to know each candidate’s platform and how it affects them, since the national debates did not focus on college students. Jason Boyd news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

in the face. The first round ended with Smal’s nose bleeding and blood splattered on his arms. As the second round began, Smal was hit again. Due to the extensive nosebleed, the paramedics stopped the match and Sanchez won. “It was a competition,” Sanchez said about Smal. “I just saw him differently. Being up there is just beyond everything.”

Smal said he was fine but a little disappointed. “I wish it could have lasted longer,” he said. Kevin Pegram, public relations senior and Fiji member, said he boxed for five years and noticed the differences between professional and amateur fighting. “The main difference between this and a real match is the length,” he said. “They have shorter rounds, so they go right at it and it’s easier.” Eddie Diaz, mechanical engineering freshman and indepen-

dent fighter, won his match but was disappointed with his opponent Luis Lejune. “I was annoyed because he kept looking down,” he said. “It was too easy. I expected better than that.” The event aimed to raise $20,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Arlington. “We’re just so proud of these boys,” said Joe Sholden, organization board member, “and that they’re doing this for us.” AnnA KAtzKovA news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu
