a young flautist speaks about overcoming hardships, his passion by alaNNa QuilleN Contributor to The Shorthorn

Despite his inability to read music or remember songs, a Tlingit Indian mastered the techniques of great flute players. an anchorage, alaska native, 16-year-old Morgan Fawcett was a victim of his mother’s alcoholism. Born with Fetal alcohol Syndrome, he suffers from a disease that has caused neurological and physical problems throughout life. Fawcett works around his disabilities and now performs Native american flute. He speaks about FaS awareness at noon today at the University Center Rosebud Theatre. “I was born with a failure to thrive,” he said. Despite his disabilities, Fawcett learned piano, clarinet and violin during his childhood. “I was not instantly addicted to them like I was with the sound or the feeling of the Native american Flute,” he said. also suffering from years of mental and physical abuse from his troubled father, Fawcett believes the defining moment in his life emerged at age 13. “I was stealing food and staying out all night to stay away from my father,” he said. “I contemplated what life would be like without him.” That’s when his first love entered his life. “The flute came at a time when I was struggling with the hate I had for my father,” he said. “It helped my concentration, ability to focus and lowered my anxiety.” On their way to visit family in California in March 2006, Fawcett and his adoptive grandmother Susan Hempel took a rest stop at the Trees of Mystery Museum, one of the largest privatelyowned Native american museums. He played for the first time when the museum sales clerk gave him a Native american flute, Hempel said. The clerk played a scale for him, and after following along with the notes, Fawcett closed his eyes and began playing his own song. “The attendant asked him how long he had played the flute,” Hempel said. “She didn’t know that was his first time ever playing.” Hempel said she believes he developed his style and technique that day and had the spirit of the flute from the beginning. “He played with the ease and grace of someone that has played for a very long time,” she said. around that time, doctors finally diagnosed Fawcett with FaS

after years of uncertainty about where his illnesses came from. Fawcett owns 18 different Native american flutes — each made of different woods like walnut, maple and cherry. “Since he is only 16, he is able to reach teenagers when they might be especially susceptible to alcohol abuse,” said Kenneth Roemer, English professor and Native american Student association faculty sponsor. “I imagine he’s the type of person who will end up on Oprah’s show one day.” alaNNa QuilleN news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

To raise awareness for homelessness, several organizations are hosting the annual One Night Without a Home. Attendees will spend the night in cardboard boxes on the Central Library mall. Event sponsors UTA-Volunteers, Brazos House and Trinity House will provide boxes. Organizers prefer that participants bring their own boxes, sleeping bags and pillows, UTA-Volunteer member Erica Burroughs said. Students wanting to participate should meet at 2 p.m. Thursday by the University Center Bluebonnet Ballroom and the event will go until noon Friday. There will be a case study and guest speakers to discuss homeless awareness across the country, Burroughs said. Students are asked to volunteer at the Bridge Homeless Shelter for two hours Thursday and again at Mission Arlington on Friday morning for two hours. On Friday, participants will inform passers-by of homeless statistics, she said. “Students need to be educated about the issue,” Burroughs said. “And experience what the homeless experience by sleeping in a cardboard box.”

Focus on Faculty will present a lecture on diversity by management associate professor Myrtle P. Bell at noon today at the Central Library sixth floor. Her presentation covers how diversity influences groups and uses research to focus on accurate aspects of diversity to increase equal opportunity. “If you increase the diversity, you will be well-represented,” said library human resource specialist Nadine Douditski. “Plus, to put it plain and simple, people need to learn more about the differences amongst each other.” Established by the library, the Focus on Faculty speakers’ series shares faculty research with the university community. A reception with refreshments follows the program at 1 p.m. — Alanna Quillen

Obama: Keep Lieberman with Dems

Texas’ increased early vote boosts record

the associated Press

WASHINGTON — President-elect Obama has told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid he’s not interested in seeing Democrats oust Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman from their ranks over his endorsement of Republican John McCain. Obama told Reid in a phone conversation last week that expelling Lieberman from the Democratic caucus would hurt the message of bipartisanship and unity that he wants for his new administration, a Senate Democratic aide said Tuesday. This aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the discus-

sions were confidential. The caucus is the meeting of all Senate Democrats and at the beginning of each Congress it chooses the body’s leaders. Lieberman, a longtime Democrat most recently re-elected as an independent, has continued to join the Democratic caucus. In the last Congress his presence was essential to the Democrats’ control of the Senate because he gave them a 51-49 edge over Republicans. But Democrats expanded their majority last Tuesday and no longer need Lieberman to control the chamber, though his vote still could be crucial in votes to end filibusters.

AUSTIN — A whopping two-thirds of Texans who voted cast ballots early this year, following a trend of growing early-vote numbers in the Lone Star State and putting Texas among the leading states in early and absentee voting. The record early-vote wave made for shorter lines and generally smooth polling place operations on Election Day, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s Office.

Obama says he won’t get involved in the fight on Capitol Hill over whether Democrats should take away Lieberman’s chair-

decisions about who should or should not be a committee chair,� Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said.

DALLAS — With Olafur Eliasson’s exhibit “Take your time,� the idea is to do just that: Slow down and let the works wash over your senses. From the fan hanging at the end of a cable that hums as it swings in a circle to a cavernous room bathed in yellow light to the smell of a wall covered in moss, the exhibit that opened at the Dallas Museum of Art this week showcases Eliasson’s work with light, color and space.

Pelosi wants new aid for U.S. automakers the associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for “emergency and limited financial assistance� for the battered auto industry on Tuesday and urged the outgoing Bush administration to join lawmakers in reaching a quick compromise.

Four days after dismal financial reports from General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., Pelosi backed legislation to make the automakers eligible for help under the $700 billion bailout measure that cleared Congress in October. In a written statement, the

California Democrat said the aid was needed “in order to prevent the failure of one or more of the major American automobile manufacturers, which would have a devastating impact on our economy, particularly on the men and women who work in that industry.�

“Congress and the Bush administration must take immediate action,� she added. Administration officials have concluded that the bailout bill that passed earlier does not permit loans to the auto industry, but lawmakers are expected to return to the Capitol for a brief postelection

session beginning next week. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also supports help for the industry, and he issued a statement saying Democrats were “determined to pass legislation that will save the jobs of millions� as part of a postelection session.

SAQQARA, Egypt — Archaeologists have discovered a new pyramid under the sands of Saqqara, an ancient burial site that has yielded a string of unearthed pyramids in recent years but remains largely unexplored. The 4,300-year-old monument most likely belonged to the queen mother of the founder of Egypt’s 6th Dynasty, and was built several hundred years after the famed Great Pyramids of Giza, antiquities chief Zahi Hawass told reporters in announcing the find Tuesday. — The Associated Press

It was leadership that harnessed the full capa:8EEFE =F;;<I Yp @jXXZ <i`Zbjfe bilities of a very diverse population — that included Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions. This kind of enlightened leadership — leadership that nurtured culture, sustainability, diversity and courage — led to 800 years of invention and prosperity.� In dark and serious times like this, we must affirm our commitment to building societies and institutions that aspire to this kind of greatness. More than ever, we must focus on the importance of leadership — bold acts of leadership and decidedly personal acts of leadership.

As a child, her father tried to teach her Vietnamese background in an “academic way,” but she never paid attention. Communists forced her grandfather to commit suicide to keep his family alive, so Tran’s dad became anticommunist.

continue contributing in their specific field. “It’s a wonderful honor,” Grove said. “I’ve enjoyed working at UTA, and I feel very honored to have been awarded for what I’ve accomplished.” Among the programs Grove helped lead, she also coauthors graduate and undergraduate research textbooks that have been translated into four languages — Spanish, German, Chinese and Japanese — and distributed all over the world. The first book was published in 1987, and she just completed its 6th edition for 2009. “I do believe that’s made an impact on the conduct of research — our textbooks are No. 1 and No. 3 in the world,” she said. All these accomplishments weren’t stumbled upon. Grove said she wanted to enter the profession since childhood. “It is something I aspired to since I was in the eighth grade,” she said about teaching higher education. “And

She has performed shows at Harvard and Stanford universities, but never at a Texas school. “I’ve been wanting to but I didn’t know how to go about it,” she said. “When Leticia Martinez called me, I was thrilled.” Multicultural Affairs director Leticia Martinez was impressed with Tran’s appearances for the Pan Asian Repertory Theater, which hosts prestigious old and new artists. “I liked that it mixed drama and humor which will be a great entertainment factor for our audience,” Martinez said. “Plus, you don’t have to be Asian to enjoy it.” AnnA KAtzKovA news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

teaching nursing has been a wonderful career.” In 1987, she became the Masters in Nursing Program associate dean, a position she held for 20 years before she retired in August 2007. Her colleagues said she excelled in the position. “She was very skilled in working with folks,” nursing associate dean Mary Schira said, who took over Grove’s position when she retired. “She was very tactful. You always knew where you stood.” Schira said she models her diplomatic approach after Grove’s and called her an “outstanding role model” for faculty across the campus. Nursing dean Elizabeth Poster, who nominated Grove for the Professor Emeritus award, echoed Schira’s sentiment. “I have never met anyone that did not have a high regard for her personally and professionally,” she said. “It was a pleasure to work with her for over 14 years, and we are fortunate that she has continued her involvement in the life of the School of Nursing.”

Cans

how to help

continued from page 1

Constituency Council for Architecture president, said his organization is collecting cans for the drive and that members look forward to the sculpture contest. “Being in architecture whenever we build stuff, it’s always exciting for us,” she said. Tillie Burgin, Mission Arlington executive director, said any kind of donation helps since people needing food help has almost doubled in Arlington since this time last year. SCC historian Taha Muntajibuddin said that with the holiday season approaching, the council felt it was appropriate to hold the drive at a time when people are most in need. “We’re only asking for cans that cost 10-25 cents maximum — an amount that is barely comparable to things we spend on everyday, whether it’s gas, groceries, or even Starbucks,” he said. “People also tend to donate because it’s simply the right thing to do, not because they just want to throw away whatever change they have left over from their meal at McDonald’s.” Muntajibuddin wanted to do something that was creative and didn’t fall into the category of an ordinary canned food drive. “People need to be motivated to take part in things like these, and by stepping outside the box, I feel that this sets us apart from all the other canned food drives that may be competing against us,” he said.

Students can drop off items to Mission Arlington year-round. Besides canned food, Mission Arlington currently needs: • Peanut Butter / Jelly • Rice, pasta & beans • Dinner items (Macaroni & Cheese, Hamburger Helper, etc.) • Breakfast items (Small boxes of cereal, pastries, etc.) • Powdered Milk • Pop top Canned Meats (Vienna Sausages, Spam, Tuna) • Toiletries • Baby Items (Diapers, formula, etc.) Mission Arlington is at 210 W. South St.

Cans dropped off to each college will be collected weekly by the constituency councils and will remain in the office until the day of construction. “Regardless of the fact that this is our first year doing this, I think this will be pretty successful because it is something that UTA hasn’t seen before, and people like things that are different,” Muntajibuddin said. “We don’t plan on busting any world records, but we just think this will open doors for UTA in the future.” BryAn BAstiBle news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu
