An army of chain-link fences, bulldozers and yellow hard hats greeted returning students in January — evidence that the UNT Smart Project gained momentum while campus closed for the holidays.
The project, which began Dec. 1 and is expected to continue through February 2013, focuses on upgrading utilities to increase sustain-ability and lower maintenance costs, said Charles Jackson, UNT’s executive director of facilities.
“We have old, old systems in buildings,” Jackson said.
UNT officials negotiated a performance contract with Schneider Electric, which guar-antees the utility costs saved over 20 years will exceed the $42 million spent on renovations, Jackson said.
The most extensive portion of the project, and the reason the area around the University Union is ripped up, requires the updating and addition of chilled water loops, which Jackson said are an efficient way to cool many buildings from a central loca-tion.
The project plans to add a second chilled water plant — to be located in the new parking garage — and integrate almost all of the non-residential buildings on campus into the system.
Smart Project construction underway
“There’s no specific time-line,” Jackson said. “[The current construction] is the major portion that will take the longest.”
The water chillers project is separated into phases, Jackson said. Phase I began in front of the Hurley Administration Building and construction
will continue spreading until it ends in phase V near the Gateway Center.
C u r r e n t c o n s t r u c t i o n includes parts of phases I and II, Jackson said. The project is waiting for permission from the city to dig under city roads including Avenue C and Highland.
“A lthough we’re behind where we want to be ,we’re really not behind schedule,” Jackson said. “It won’t yet delay completion of the project.”
Campus construction else-where
The Smart Project is only the most recent construc-tion venture on campus. Two long-term projects, the new stadium and the Business and Leadership Building and
its adjoining parking garage, are both running smoothly, Jackson said.
“I don’t know if they’re ahead of schedule, but they’re definitely not behind,” Jackson said. “There are no roadblocks to having [the stadium] avail-able for that first game next fall.”
In an email statement, UNT President V. Lane Rawlins said the stadium and busi-ness building have been in the works for years.
“We need new buildings,” said Rawlins, who cited a recent study that found UNT was one of the only Texas institutions with no room for growth.
The construction around the Union and the General Academic Building is not in vain. It is part of the Smart Project to install a new chiller system.

Law enforcement authorities are looking for a man who may be hiding in Denton after he escaped from a Houston area halfway house Jan. 24.
Timothy Rosales III, 39, was under electronic monitoring at the house where he was serving out the remainder of a 25-year sentence he received
on t wo counts of agg ra-vated sexual assault in 1987, according to a Department of Public Safety press release.
Authorities are targeting their search in Denton and Amarillo, because Rosales –– one of the 10 most-wanted f ug it ives in t he state – – reportedly has family in those cities.
He is wanted on felony civil
commitment and parole viola-tion charges, reports said.
Denton Police Department spokesman Ryan Grelle said there have been no tips or leads to suggest Rosales is in the area, but said he does have family living in Denton.
Rosales is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds. He has brown eyes and a shaved
head. Rosales has scars on both arms, on his right wrist and on his back, chest and head. He has tattoos on his left shoulder, arm and leg, and on his back and chest. His right arm is discolored.
He is considered armed and dangerous.
The DPS has raised the cash reward from $5,000 to $7,500 for information leading to
Rosales’ arrest, releases said.Anyone with information
on the whereabouts of Rosales or any of the other 10 most wanted fugitives is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), text the letters DPS followed by the tip to CRIMES (2724637), or email a tip through the DPS website.
All calls, texts and emails are anonymous.
Authorities search Denton area for fugitive
Students across campus are preparing for the freezing weather as a cold front moves in. Temperatures are expected to be in the teens until Friday.

The number of international students studying at U.S. colleges and universities reached its highest point ever last fall, an increase that included a large jump in the amount of Chinese students receiving higher educa-tion in America.
The 2009-2010 academic year saw a 3 percent increase in the number of international students enrolled at U.S. institutions of higher learning, according to a report released by the Institute of International Education. This puts the amount of international students in this country at an all-time high of more than 690,000.
The IIE also reported that the number of Chinese students studying in the U.S. grew by 30 percent to more than 120,000, making China the leading country of origin for interna-tional students in the U.S.
“We’ve certainly seen that at UNT as well,” said Mary Beth Butler, director of communi-cations for UNT International. “That’s been very big. China is a growing source of students.”
International student enroll-ment at UNT in the fall of 2010 rose to 2,667 students from nearly 2,500 the previous year. China overtook India as the top foreign country of nationality for students enrolled at UNT as well.
International enrollment grows
Chinese students at UNT jumped to 275 in fall 2010, up from 230 in 2009. Butler said many Chinese students are coming to the U.S. for their
education as a method of getting ahead in their chosen career to benefit the Chinese economy.

Snow to hit DentonBY SETH COHNStaff Writer
After a mild-weathered weekend in North Texas, Denton residents can expect to see a change today, as an arctic front sweeps through with freezing temperatures, heavy rain, wind and the possibility of snow, meteo-rologists said.
The rain is expected to turn into to a mixture of sleet, f reezing rain and snow by early morning, said Joe Harris, a National Weather Service meteorol-ogist.
Anticipating the prob-lems inclement weather cou ld pose for t he 29
p e r c e n t o f s t u d e n t commuters, university offi-cials canceled classes and closed t he UNT-Denton campus today.
Thirty states and more than 100 million people are expected to be affected by the winter storm set to last from Monday evening to late Wednesday.
The storm is predicted to develop in the Texas south central plains, where it will continue northward through the Midwest, up toward Chicago, and across the Great Lakes into New York and the rest of the Northeast, leaving a path of sleet and freezing rain, Harris said.

Bu si ness sen ior Cu r t i s Coleman said the construc-tion on campus has not both-ered him unless he doesn’t watch where he walks.
“I look up and I’m about to run into a fence,” Coleman said. “It’s always in a different area.”
Coleman said he is disap-pointed he won’t see the results before he graduates.
“Although it does make me excited for UNT growth, this is not what I signed up for in college,” Coleman said. “I’d like to see the end result.”
Jackson said UNT Smart will not only help the university become more environmen-tally friendly, but several of the systems being replaced are outdated or in need of repair.
“Some of [our current cooling

units] use ozone-depleting refrigerants,” Jackson said. “We are going to phase those out.”
Rawl i ns sa id t he proj-ects under construction on campus are ones that needed to be addressed.
“[These projects] are related to replacement of faci l i-ties that are too small and outdated for their functions,” Rawlins said. “[In short,] we are rapidly growing and are trying to accommodate the growth.”

U.S. education is ‘affordable’
“China is a booming economy,” Butler said. “One of the things China is doing to build its economy is send its students abroad for study. That’s a very big market for folks that do recruiting inter-nationally.”
Many of the Chinese students at UNT are coming to pursue degrees in fields like science, technology, engi-neering and mathematics, Butler said.
While these have histori-cally been the fields Chinese students seek degrees in, Butler said many are also coming to UNT for its inter-nationally recognized depart-ments, such as the Center for Play Therapy and the College of Music.
Although the university works to increase interna-tional enrollment through recruiting and study abroad programs, Butler said many international students hear about UNT from friends or family who attended.
“Our rough number right now is 2,600 international students,” Butler said, “We work very hard to increase that every year through targeted recruiting. But, our biggest source of students is always word of mouth.”
UNT’s Multicultural Center has also felt the increase of international students on campus. Uyen Tran, director of multicultural programming at the center, said they have seen a rise in not only Asian students but also Native American and Hispanic students.
The Multicultural Center plans 75 events every semester. While they have always done
programming for Asian students, Tran said there has been more interest in partici-pating and creating events for Asian students recently.
The University Program Council’s Chinese New Year event this week is co-spon-sored by the center. Tran said the center normally tries to program events that can appeal to a wide range of students.
“We don’t program just for Chinese students,” Tran said.
“We try to program for all the students. Our events could be about a Chinese issue, a Japanese issue or they could be about an Asian issue in general.”
Chinese students are increasingly coming to schools in the U.S. for a variety of reasons. Yue Wang, a finance junior, said she felt more confi-dent about getting a job after she graduates in the U.S. rather than in China.
“The U.S. has 10 percent unemployment, but China has more than 20 percent,” Wang said.
One draw for Chinese students at UNT is the Intensive English Language Institute.
Wang said it is easier for international students to study at the institute rather than take the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL,
exam. Graduating from the institute waives the TOEFL requirement for enrolling at UNT.
“If you mention UNT’s IELI, most people know it when they apply for an English school,” Wang said. “It’s harder to take the TOEFL exam. You spend a lot of money and time. You may use half a year to take the test.”
Yu Weng, a math graduate student, came to UNT 10 years ago because she has relatives
in the area. Yu said she has seen things change for Chinese students since she arrived.
“Ten years ago there were, at most, a handful of Chinese students studying at the English language institute,” Weng said. “But, right now, when students come to study, most of them start from the IELI. Most of them choose to start here.”
Weng said the strength-ening of the Chinese currency is making it more affordable to study in the U.S. Weng also said more Chinese students are able to study in the U.S. now because it is easier to obtain visas for foreign travel.
“In recent years, a lot more students have access to the opportunity of education overseas,” she said. “In recent years, the U.S. visa was less restrictive and less difficult for the Chinese to apply for.”
“We don’t program just for Chinese students...we try to
program for all the students.”—Uyen Tran

Osiris Ramirez, an immi-grant from Zacatecas, Mexico, could hardly consider Denton to be a sanctuary.
As Ramirez waits for work at the intersection of Fort Worth Drive and Carroll Blvd., state legislators in Austin are contemplat ing a series of immigration bills aimed at sparking reform and counter-acting the policies of so called “sanctuary cities.”
T h e t e r m “s a n c t u a r y city” is one used by Texas Governor Rick Perry and some in the Republican majority to describe a city in which local authorities turn a blind eye to a person’s legal status, said Idean Salehyan of the polit-ical science faculty.
“Basically, it is local govern-ment saying it is not our job to enforce those [immigration] laws,” Salehyan said.
Rather, sanctuary cities see it as the job of the federal government to enforce immi-gration laws — a viewpoint that does not sit well for Texas’ conservative legislators.
T h e f e d e r a l g o v e r n -ment’s idleness in handling the immigration issue has prompted Texas politicians to take matters into their own hands during the ongoing 82nd legislature.
B o t h D e m o c r a t s a n d Republ ica ns have f i led a
number of House and Senate bills that seek to govern the detainment, education and financial burden of the state’s illegal aliens.
“There is a lot of dissatis-faction amongst the politi-cians and a big voter demand to do something,” Salehyan said.
State senator Jane Nelson (R- Flower Mound), a UNT graduate, is the author of Senate Bil l 84, which calls for Texas to participate in a federal E-verify work autho-rization program. Employers and police would use t he electronic database to verify a worker’s legal presence in t he United States. a nd it would link to a national data-base operated by the U.S. Depa r t ment of Homela nd Security.
Another proposal, Senate Bill 126, by state senator Dan Patrick (R-Houston) seeks to give local law enforcement the power to question a person’s legal status after they have been detained. Under the bill, the police have the obligation to report those found to be here illegally to federal immi-gration authorities.
Some bil ls issued to the Texas House Chamber mirror those recently passed and hotly debated in Arizona. Rep. Dennis Bonnen (R-Brazoria County) put forth a bill calling for English to be recognized
as the official language of the state. The bill would also cut financial aid to illegal immi-grants in higher education and create a public database containing a persons’ illegal status.
D e s p i t e t h e m a n y proposa ls, Texa ns shou ld not expect radical change, Salehyan said.
“There might be something that gets through, but it will be far more moderate than Arizona,” Salehyan said.
He cited Texas’ grow ing Latino voter base as a factor barring Gov. Perry and strict immigration reformists from passing t he more radica l bills. Instead, he said, Texans can anticipate “some minor reforms and some symbolic gest u res” to come out of this session’s immigration debate.
Immigrants like Ramirez can expect to live in the rela-t ive shadows for t he next few months as the debate continues in Austin.
“You pay for ever y thing here – – rent, food, gaso-line,” Ramirez said. “There are laws, but many people don’t follow them because they don’t want to discrimi-nate.”
Ramirez came to Denton from Mexico five years ago in search of work. He has lived here without fear of deporta-tion, he said.

Local high school students can have the night of their dreams thanks to donated dresses from UNT students.
The Cinderella Project is accepting formal wear and accessories for men and women for prom at every residence hall front desk during regular hours now through March 2.
“It’s a really great opportu-nity for girls who can’t afford to go to prom,” said Sharon Miller, the residence life coor-dinator in charge of the project. “It’s also really environmen-tally sustainable to reuse the dress.”
Students can choose dresses and tuxedos on March 4 and 5 at Clark Grill.
Through the project, students can clean out their closets and help people have a memorable experience, Miller said.
The project will accepts new or gently used garments and accessories, Miller said.
“Girls get to college here and they think they’re going to wear their prom dress again, but they don’t,” she said. “So they donate it and it really makes them happy to see that someone else can use it.”
The Cinderella Project has chapters in more than 15 states and in Canada.
The project started at UNT in 2006 when the Denton chapter contacted Miller about collecting clothes.
The biggest challenge was finding space and staff for the project. Residence Life took over in 2007, Miller said.
“We’ve just put the signs up for the Cinderella Project and we’re hoping for lots of donations from students,” said Rachel McGee, a Kerr Hall coor-dinator.
More than 30 people staff the project. About 200 women are expected to attend, Miller said.
The students select the formal wear they like and can

have it altered by seamstresses on site.
T houg h adver t i sed a s performing minor alterations,
some of the seamstresses do “spectacular” major altera-tions, Miller said.
“Having the event here is
good exposure for the univer-sity because the girls come to get a dress, and they get to see what UNT has to offer, and then
they think about coming here,” Miller said.
So far, Honors Hall has received three dresses, Crumley has received one and Bruce has received jewelry donations from students.
“I think it’s great. I support it,” said Kalle Taylor, a biology senior.
The Cinderella Project is very helpful for underprivi-leged high school students, said Christopher Murray, a kinesi-ology junior.
Women come from all over the Dallas area, Miller said.
“There’s a teacher at a high school in Krum who gets a van and drives girls here every year,” she said.
T he Ci nderel la Project targets college students because their garments are newer and trendier, Miller said.
“It’s good to know your dress is going to someone that needs it, instead of just ending up at Goodwill,” said Bobbie Russell, a business freshman.

Despite t he arr iva l of a new food stand nearby, Chris Swenholt, commonly k now n a s t he hot dog man, receives 100 to 120 customers daily.
Swenholt opened Texas Pitstops, a food cart that serves hot dogs, brats, chips and drinks, located near the General Academic building five semesters ago.
“When you think of street vending food, you think of hotdogs first,” he said. “Hotdogs are fun and easy for the students.”
K hush Rot i, a n inter-nat iona l sa ndw ich ca rt, serves food near Swenholt’s stand.
Jake Nutter, a computer science f resh ma n, sa id he has bought food from Swenholt multiple times.
“[Khush Roti] probably does hurt his business, but that saddens me because I want him to be successful,” Nutter said.
Swenholt said Khush Roti has not harmed the hot dog stand’s business.
“Ho n e s t l y i t h a s n’t [hurt business]. I still get around the same amount of customers,” he said.
If anything, he might have gained new customers, he said.
Currently, Swenholt has been brainstorming on some new innovations for his own business.

The UNT Fine Arts Series wil l bring the internation-ally acclaimed Garth Fagan dance showcase to campus tonight.
Community members can enjoy the performance at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre i n t he Rad io, Telev ision, Fi lm and Performing A rts building.
“It’s good to get as many experiences while in college,” said Nicole Newland, assis-tant for the series. “This will broaden their horizon because students will have the chance to see choreography that has revolutionized dance.”
Garth Fagan is an award-w i n n i n g c h o r e o g r a p h e r known for his success in the Broadway musical, “The Lion King.”
According to the Fine Art Series website, this show-case will be a mix of Fagan’s new works and revivals, cele-brating its 40th anniversary season.
The showcase is catego-rized as performance dance and will consist of excerpts from Fagan’s past work. Fagan choreog raphed t he ent ire show, Newland said.
The group has performed throughout the United States, Europe, Africa and other coun-tries, according to the series’ website.
The Fine Arts Series expects about 450 guests and hopes the show is a success, Newland said.
Heather Presley, a theatre senior, said she was disap-pointed when she found out the Garth Fagan troupe was only going to perform one day.
“The experience of seeing professiona l da ncers w i l l benefit those who go because they’ll be able to see someone else’s creativ it y on stage,”
she said. “It’ll be something students can be inspired by.”
Lauren Daniels, a dance senior, said she’s attending t he per for ma nce because it’s a great opportunit y to see a professiona l da nce company.
“It’s a chance to learn more from the experts and see how dance is being shaped,” she said.
Da n iel s sa id she’s not very familiar with the dance company, so she’s not sure what to ex pect f rom t he performance.
“I heard they like to move fast, so hopefully I’ll see some deta i l-or iented movement mixed in with fast and rhyth-mical music,” she said.
Daniels said many people neglect the art of dance and forget it is another form of communication.
“Students who attend the concert will not only get the chance to see amazing and ta lented da ncers per for m great works of art, they will a lso get a taste of modern dance,” she said.
Tickets are on sale at the i n for mat ion desk on t he third f loor of the University Union.

food from Swenholt before. He has also had a taste of
what Khush Roti has to offer. “It was delicious, better than
Kerr,” Gould said.He plans to return to this
vending site, he said. “For five bucks and being in
the right spot, I might come back,” he said. “Sometimes though, I just feel like I’m a hot dog kind of guy,” Gould said.
Bill McNeace, the executive director of Dining Services, sa id t here were di f ferent options as to where Swenholt’s hotdog stand would be placed, but the location outside the General Academic Building seemed most appropriate.
“[Swenholt] doesn’t really work for us, he’s an indepen-dent contractor. Basically what he did was he created a busi-ness proposal, we reviewed it, thought it made sense and that’s how he’s here,” McNeace said.
One of the locations where
Khush Roti was going to be established was outside the GAB also, but on the oppo-site side, where the Biology and Chemistry buildings are set, McNeace said.
“The [administration] try to choose the places that will generate the most traff ic,”
he said.Swenholt said it is good
to have a new food site to g ive d i f ferent opt ions to students.
“I think it’s bringing more students to the area. Not only that, it’s bringing a variety,” he said.
“When you think of street vending food, you think of hot dogs first.
Hot dogs are fun and easy for students.”

came with 4:41 left in the half when Hudson’s fast break layup put the Mean Green on top 27-26.
The Pioneers followed the Mean Green’s spurt by reeling off 11 straight points. UNT put in a late 3-pointer and went into the locker room down 37-30.
“We had a few turnovers in the beginning and they just started running on us and we just wasn’t getting back,” Godbolt said. “I wasn’t expecting them to run up and down the floor like that.”
UNT forced more turnovers than Denver did and scored more fast break points, but could not stop Culberson, Murdoch or Rice in the second half.
Murdoch finished the first half two points shy of a double-
double with 10 rebounds, while Rice had 11 points at the intermis-sion. Murdoch and Rice combined for 22 points in the second half. Murdoch also finished with 16 rebounds, a season-high.
UNT will be back in action at 5 p.m. Thursday when it hosts Florida Atlantic at the Super Pit.

The Mean Green women’s basketball team took a brief one-point lead after getting off to a slow start in Denver on Saturday, but was overpowered in the second half by the Pioneers’ dominant trio of scorers.
Denver’s reigning Sun Belt Player of the Week, redshirt senior forward Brianna Culberson, finished with a career-best 27 points after scoring just six points in the first half. Culberson, junior forward Kaetlyn Murdoch and senior guard Britteni Rice combined to score 68 points in Denver’s 86-67 victory over UNT.
The loss is UNT’s fourth in a row.
“We did a good job of holding Culberson in the first half,” head coach Shanice Stephens said. “But in the second half, their big three just went on a run. We were solid enough offensively, but poor defense just killed us.”
Denver (13-8, 5-3) started the game with a 10-2 lead, but UNT (5-18, 2-8) used two 3-pointers each from junior guards Brittany Hudson and Tamara Torru to stay in the game. Torru finished the game with 11 points, one of three players to score in double figures for UNT.
However, it was Hudson who led the way for the Mean Green, as she notched 12 points in the first half and hit all five of her shot attempts. She made her first eight shots and led the team in scoring with 20 points before fouling out late in the game.
“We were just looking to get the ball to [Hudson] because she was the hot hand,” sophomore forward Jasmine Godbolt said.
Godbolt finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, her third straight double-double.

Denver Dominance
BY BEN BABY Senior Staff Writer
Amidst the high altitude of Denver, Colo., the UNT men’s basketball team suffered its second straight loss to the Denver Pioneers in an 80-67 defeat Saturday night. UNT had not dropped two straight contests in 40 games, with the last occurrence on Jan.7 against Arkansas State.
“What really hurt us, and what our downfall was, were the stops,” senior guard Josh White said. “We didn’t get enough consecutive stops on the defensive end. We won’t win like that, giving 80 points up.”
The loss puts the Mean Green (16-6, 5-4) two and a half games back of the Pioneers (11-10,
7-1) for first place in the Sun Belt West Division. The Mean Green went 4-4 in the month of January.
All six of UNT’s losses this season have been on the road. In its six losses, the Mean Green allowed 87.8 points per game.
Coming into the game, the Mean Green ranked seventh in the conference in scoring defense, allowing an average of 71.7 points.
“I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but even at home, we’re not holding people to a clip that we really need to,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “We just have to get to where we’re doing that, and it’s my job that I find guys who are able to play that way.”
Against the Sun Belt’s top scoring defense, the Mean Green, which leads the confer-ence in scoring, mustered 67 points. It was the fourth time this season the team failed to score at least 70 points. UNT is 2-2 in those contests.
Denver entered the contest ranked second in the confer-ence in 3-point f ield goal percentage, shoot i ng 42 percent. Pioneers junior guard Brian Stafford led the assault from deep, going five-of-eight from long distance on his way to a game-high 21 points.
Twelve of Denver’s 24 completed field goals were 3-pointers. The Pioneers finished shooting 46.2 percent from behind the 3-point line and 55.8 percent shooting overall.
“We have to a better job on defense,” senior forward George Odufuwa said. “That’s all it really comes down to. We’re still sloppy. We have to clean it up.”
UNT averaged 13.6 turn-overs per game prior to the contest and turnvoed over the ball 12 times.
“We didn’t take care of the ball,” Jones said. “When we did turn the ball over, they did an excellent job of scoring.”
White scored a team-high 15 points in the loss. Odufuwa had his tenth double-double of the season, scoring 14 points and racking up 11 rebounds.
UNT will try to stop its two-game slide at 7 p.m. Thursday at home aga i nst Flor ida Atlantic, the leader of the East division. In the confines of the Super Pit, UNT has won 17 straight games, the 10th longest home winning streak in the nation.
“T he la st t h i ng we’re going to do is feel sorry for ourselves,” White said. “We have to get back to the basics, and that starts in practice. We just have to get back to our winning ways.”

A professor of mine recently described Adam Smith, the so-called father of modern economics, as a heroin-addicted economist who threw numerous wild parties that escalated into massive, unrestrained orgies of unheard proportions.
My professor was joking. It was an attempt to grab our attention and raise our interest in Smith.
Unfortunately, some of those who disparage the market system view it and its supporters along the same lines as this version of Smith: immoral, vile and exploit-ative. In their minds, capitalism breeds nothing but selfishness and a disregard for one’s fellow man. Society cannot continue to function with a system that destroys charity and virtue.
What is sad about this widely believed version of capitalism is that it is as fictional as my profes-sor’s account of Adam Smith.
Behavioral economics is a new neuroscience that seeks
to understand the psychology behind economic decisions.
Among the experimental bargaining games developed by researchers is one known as the Ultimatum Game. The gist is a certain sum (say, $100) is split between you and your partner.
You are given the power to divide the sum between both of you, and if your partner accepts the division (whether it be $50-$50 or $99-$1), both of you get to keep the money. If your partner rejects the offer, both of you go home empty-handed.
Irrationally, most partners reject unequal splits starting at about $70-$30. I say irra-tionally because any rational profit maximizer should take whatever free money they are offered, no matter if it is $50, $30 or $1.
Apparently, fairness takes precedence over economic self-interest — a trait of reciprocal altruism that developed over
eons of exchange and barter. What is even more surprising
is that those heavily immersed in societies that are driven by market systems tend to leave more money on the table in these experiments. They are more altruistic than those who have little contact with market exchange, which writer Matt Ridley also found.
Ridley correctly points out that “enlightened self-interest lies in seeking cooperation.”
The data gathered by social scientist Arthur C. Brooks confirms the implications of these bargaining games. We Americans are often seen by some intellectuals as trailing behind our social demo-cratic brothers and sisters in Europe.
It turns out that Americans privately donate more than Europeans, per capita. On top of this, Americans in favor of free enterprise give more to both
religious and secular causes than those who favor govern-mental redistribution, even when adjusted for age, reli-gion, income, gender, marital status, race, political views and education.
Anti-redistributionists are also more likely to give their t ime to charitable causes and activities, such as blood donations or giving money to a homeless person on the street.
To support markets is not to support the glorious selfish-ness of the individual. It is to support a collective enterprise — a system in which we all end up working for each other. In a system like that, we can all learn to be truly charitable.

With a $5 billion proposed cut to the state education budget, it’s no wonder that lawmakers and administrators alike are looking for solutions. From raising class sizes and closing schools to cutting electives, Texans are faced with tough choices.
However, we must not forget the importance of elective courses.
Students’ lives are enriched by their fine arts experiences. They get the chance to express them-selves in healthy ways and explore possible career options.
Sports and physical educa-tion help promote healthy life-styles. This is hugely important in a nation filled with increasingly obese citizens (pun intended).
A Gallup poll ranked Texas as a midrange state where obesity is concerned, but even the least obese state, Colorado, has an obese population of almost 20 percent. How in good faith can
we remove health and physical education from our schools?
The lack of respect for the importance of electives is not a phenomenon new to this legis-lation term. In many districts in the state, including Austin Independent School District, grades earned in electives are not included when computing grade point averages calculated for class rank.
Students are given two GPAs: one which reflects performance in all classes and one which includes only the four core subjects — English, math, science and social studies.
When completing college applications and computing the top 10 percent of the senior class for automatic acceptance to Texas public universities, this makes a certain level of sense — a student’s basketball performance is unlikely to affect her ability to manage a college course load.
At the same time, the skills she learned in her basketball class, from both her team and coach, about working together, time management, and the impor-tance of eating well and exer-cising will undoubtedly help her in the transition from high school to college, and make her a more attractive student to the university.
I’m understandably biased. As a future journalism educator, I, of course, find value in my subject and in the skills my students glean from the mate-rial contained therein. However, even those who do not teach elec-tive courses must on some level see the intrinsic value of breaking up the school day with classes outside of the typical core course load. Students gain experiences that cannot be created outside of the outlets offered by elective courses such as drama, creative writing, orchestra, track and
photography. We must fight to keep these
courses in our schools.With schools closing and
teacher layoffs across the state, this may seem a small issue, but for the sake of the students, it must be addressed.
Keep electives in school for the sake of the students.

In light of the growing unrest and open rebellion in Egypt, a pattern emerges of people living in suppressed societies choosing to change their political environ-ment.
The Editorial Board points to the recent actions taken by the Egyptian people as just the latest, loudest example of confirmation that by pursuing a pro-democratiza-tion global agenda, the U.S. is championing the will of suppressed people worldwide.
The rebellion began Jan. 24 in an attempt to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year regime. A week of violence has overtaken the streets of Cairo and has lead to a death toll of more than 100 people, as thousands protest the country’s declining economy and rampant governmental corruption.
The Egyptian government ordered a national Internet blackout Thursday because it hoped to prevent the use of social networking by the protesters. Responding to the situation, Chinese officials blocked the term “Egypt” in Internet searches.
We find it important that cutting the country’s popu-lation off from the rest of the world failed to stymie the revolt.
The Egyptian military has announced it would not harm the protesters. Israeli officials are worried because the revolt could put the Muslim Brotherhood, a religious party, in power. Religious parties, are illegal in Egypt, but the Brotherhood has been allowed to continue. Israelis fear if the Brotherhood were to take over, the peace that has lasted throughout Mubarak’s adminis-tration would shatter.
The situation in Egypt follows a rebellion in Tunisia and the removal of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Morocco, The Ivory Coast, Libya, Yemen, Jordan and other countries in Africa and the Middle East have also experienced murmurs of unrest.
UNT announced Monday that it would suspend any travel to Egypt, Tunisia and Niger, and travel to Nigeria would be considered individually.
Eg ypt controls the trade that passes through the Suez Canal, which includes 8 percent of the world’s trade. That also includes a major part of the world’s oil supply, which means the events will likely cause gas prices to rise.
The Board views these recent upheavals as a contin-uation of people wanting to obtain freedom and more individual rights, such as the end of communism in Eastern Europe and of racial discrimination and perse-cution in South Africa.
Through this globally captivating national revolt, Egyptians — 90 percent Muslim — are proving that the values of democracy can no longer be labeled as purely Western desires.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.
The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.
The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
